Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - HE'S DONE IT | Timcast IRL #1432

00:03:23.000 Let's start over.

00:03:25.000 The Madman's done it.

00:03:26.000 Donald Trump has announced the framework of a deal over Greenland.

00:03:30.000 Now, it's not going to be total ownership, but it's got everybody pretty happy.

00:03:34.000 Denmark seems to be happy.

00:03:36.000 NATO seems to be happy.

00:03:37.000 Trump seems to be a little let down because he really wanted to own Greenland and he's not gonna.

00:03:41.000 But it's described as an indefinite deal with mineral rights, strategic access, and it's meant to keep Russia and China out of Greenland.

00:03:51.000 And the deal itself will be about protecting Greenland and the Arctic.

00:03:54.000 It seems like this was a classic Donald Trump big ask.

00:03:58.000 He comes out and says, we're going to take Greenland.

00:04:00.000 And everyone freaks out and he goes, okay, maybe just a little bit.

00:04:02.000 And they say, okay, fine.

00:04:03.000 How about a little bit?

00:04:04.000 And now we're moving forward.

00:04:06.000 Unfortunately, that means no Trump hotel just blistering in the skyline of Greenland.

00:04:12.000 But it's okay.

00:04:13.000 We'll take what we can get.

00:04:14.000 And then we got a bunch of other news.

00:04:15.000 We've got Bovino.

00:04:18.000 He's an ICE guy, DHA.

00:04:19.000 Is he DHS or ICE?

00:04:20.000 Border Patrol.

00:04:21.000 Border Patrol.

00:04:21.000 I was way off.

00:04:22.000 Well, DHS.

00:04:23.000 And he got attacked at a speedway, and they wouldn't serve him.

00:04:27.000 They wouldn't let him and his guys come in and get snacks.

00:04:29.000 Now there's a call for a major boycott.

00:04:30.000 And then, of course, we've got news coming out of Virginia where they're basically gearing up to go to war with the federal government, I guess.

00:04:38.000 Weird stuff going on.

00:04:41.000 Let's just leave it at that.

00:04:42.000 We'll get into it.

00:04:43.000 It's going to be a little bit freaky.

00:06:54.000 Tate Brown here, holding it down.

00:06:56.000 We didn't get to it yesterday, but we were supposed to cover how all of these stories impact Ian directly.

00:07:00.000 So maybe we can avenge that and get that going today.

00:07:02.000 Okay, thanks.

00:07:03.000 Phil.

00:07:03.000 Hello, everybody.

00:07:04.000 My name is Phil Levante.

00:07:05.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:07:07.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:07:09.000 Let's get into it.

00:07:10.000 Here's the big breaking story from the Washington Post.

00:07:12.000 Trump hails framework of Greenland deal reversing tariff threats.

00:07:17.000 Following this, the stock market jumped up, surging, the Dow surging 550 points, the S ⁇ P 500.

00:07:25.000 NASDAQ jumping as Trump backs off the tariff threats.

00:07:28.000 NATO seems to be pretty dang happy.

00:07:30.000 NATO said in a statement, negotiations between Denmark, Greenland, and the United States will go forward aimed at ensuring that Russia and China never gain a foothold economically or militarily in Greenland.

00:07:40.000 Rutz old Fox News, special report with Brett Baer Wednesday, that Danish sovereignty of the territory wasn't talked about in the meetings with Trump.

00:07:46.000 We basically discussed how we can implement the president's vision on protecting, yes, Greenland, but of course, this, not only Greenland, this whole Arctic.

00:07:55.000 Now, here's the framework of the deal.

00:07:58.000 The breaking details, we believe these to be the details.

00:08:02.000 The U.S. will gain control over small pockets of land in Greenland.

00:08:06.000 The U.S. will be involved in Greenland's mineral rights.

00:08:09.000 Greenland is estimated to hold reserves worth as much as $5 trillion.

00:08:13.000 The U.S. Golden Dome system will be involved in Greenland when it's built.

00:08:17.000 The deal is designed to block Russian and Chinese influence in Greenland.

00:08:20.000 This will open the door to U.S.-backed infrastructure investment.

00:08:24.000 The duration of the deal will have an indefinite timeframe.

00:08:27.000 This means Trump will have secured land, minerals, and defense in one deal, effectively getting everything they wanted.

00:08:33.000 And that Greenland and Denmark can say we won as well, maintaining their sovereignty.

00:08:38.000 But the U.S. is going to basically do what they did before.

00:08:41.000 So this looks like a classic Donald Trump big-ask where he threatens to punch you in the face, but then you agree to just hook.

00:08:49.000 I have to say, Donald, this is directly to you.

00:08:51.000 You got me.

00:08:53.000 I bought it, hook line, and sinker.

00:08:56.000 Last night, it was given.

00:08:58.000 It was the end for me.

00:08:58.000 I was crying.

00:08:59.000 I was like, you've gone too far.

00:09:01.000 I cannot support you anymore.

00:09:02.000 And then you turned and did this.

00:09:03.000 So nice job.

00:09:05.000 Over Greenland?

00:09:06.000 I was like, he's going to get us in.

00:09:08.000 He's threatening Europe.

00:09:09.000 And if Europe turns on us, which they were talking about doing, sending troops to Greenland plus, then the Russians and the Chinese would also, the vultures would start to circle.

00:09:18.000 So thank you, Donald, for being such a harsh, strong businessman in these desperate times and turning the steel.

00:09:24.000 You're not a plan truster and you are clearly a panican. 1.00

00:09:28.000 It's amazing that no matter how many times Trump uses this exact strategy, the same strategy he literally wrote a book about, that people just continuously do this.

00:09:36.000 He anchors the position.

00:09:37.000 He makes the big ask.

00:09:38.000 He goes out there and makes sure that you are looking well beyond what he's actually looking for.

00:09:42.000 And then he dials it back.

00:09:43.000 He lets everybody be a winner.

00:09:44.000 Everybody can relax.

00:09:45.000 He's done this over and over again.

00:09:47.000 And that's why we always say you got to watch not just what Trump says, but what he's doing, what he's actually planning, where he's actually setting himself.

00:09:53.000 If you run out there and take every single thing he says seriously, then you're just falling for the exact strategy he's already laid out.

00:10:00.000 You're being played just like the media.

00:10:01.000 Doesn't mean you have to believe everything Trump says.

00:10:03.000 Doesn't mean he gets free pass on everything.

00:10:05.000 But people really do have to calm down with the whole rhetorical stuff.

00:10:08.000 We've seen this so many times over and over again.

00:10:10.000 And people just end up embarrassing themselves when they take every bit of it seriously.

00:10:13.000 That's my favorite part when they embarrass themselves.

00:10:15.000 Well, it works for Trump too, right?

00:10:17.000 And to be fair, with this go-around, again, with the tariffs being threatened, with Trump not refusing to admit that he could potentially go to war over this, a lot of plant trusters, a lot of our top guys were getting a little antsy.

00:10:28.000 They were saying, you know, I like the deal.

00:10:30.000 I like the strategy, but do we really need to apply this much pressure to Europe?

00:10:33.000 These sorts of things that's antagonizing even like right-wing parties in Europe.

00:10:38.000 So shout out to the poster Homan's top guy.

00:10:40.000 He was never, he was a plan trust the entire time.

00:10:43.000 Anytime some of our guys were starting to be like, I don't know, Donald, like, can we take the heat off a little bit?

00:10:47.000 He'd be in the replies and just let him have it.

00:10:49.000 So this, I think, to be honest, this was like the ultimate plan trusting test.

00:10:53.000 Because like I said, a lot of the top plan trusters were even getting a little bit cold feet over this.

00:10:57.000 This is, I don't know.

00:10:59.000 I want to just be gracious for this deal looking like it's going through, but it makes me nervous about like who's coming next?

00:11:05.000 Who's the next president?

00:11:06.000 Because this guy is holding it together with like willpower.

00:11:09.000 Donald Trump is like, people are terrified of him and they love him and they're like scared of him and they're like geopolitically is a mastermind.

00:11:18.000 I mean, I know people are studying him.

00:11:20.000 Vance is studying him, but it's like, he can't just become Donald Trump.

00:11:24.000 I don't know.

00:11:25.000 Look, if the if Democrats do, you know, win and take control of like the House, the Senate, and the executive office, like that's going to be the undoing of basically everything good that Donald Trump's done.

00:11:38.000 They'll undo things that are good.

00:11:41.000 Just the same way that Joe Biden opened the borders totally because of Donald Trump doing what he did about the illegal immigration and stuff.

00:11:53.000 They're going to undo even good things just to spike Donald Trump.

00:11:57.000 So that's another reason why it's incredibly important that people go and vote in the midterms and go and vote for whoever isn't the Democrat.

00:12:06.000 As much as people are out there that are like, oh, I'm sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils.

00:12:10.000 I don't care what you're tired of.

00:12:11.000 Well, I mean, I'm blackpilled.

00:12:13.000 After this redistricting thing, I don't think voting matters at all.

00:12:16.000 I mean, it barely did to begin with, but we did believe.

00:12:19.000 Now, Democrats and Republicans have basically been like, let's utilize the power we have to wipe out our opposition in our states, except Indiana that went, oh, slow down there, Trump.

00:12:30.000 Well, that's my larger concern, Tim.

00:12:31.000 You see him consolidating places like Venezuela.

00:12:34.000 You see him consolidating places like Greenland.

00:12:36.000 We understand that we need a sphere of influence, but ultimately this is the empire, right?

00:12:40.000 This is strengthening the empire.

00:12:41.000 Now, if the empire is being run by patriots, if it's being run for the advantages of the American people, that's fantastic.

00:12:48.000 But the problem is if the Democrats get back to power and they have all the power that Trump has secured for the United States, but he hasn't secured it domestically, then you'd have a scenario where the left now has a stronger global American empire, but they're running it for their own interests.

00:13:01.000 They're running it for the globalists.

00:13:02.000 They don't care about Americans.

00:13:04.000 They're making sure to purge Americans, replace Americans. 1.00

00:13:06.000 And so that's why I would prefer that while I love what the Trump administration is doing in certain areas when it comes to securing our interests, if you don't secure the homeland, if you don't secure the voting, if you don't do that, then it doesn't matter because you're just turning all that stuff over to the Democrats.

00:13:20.000 And if they don't get rid of it, like Phil said, they'll just use it to hurt us.

00:13:24.000 Yeah, well, I made the point on the show last night.

00:13:25.000 I think I was using your talking point, which is objectively true, is that it's no longer, these elections are no longer about, you know, swinging over independent voters and these sorts of things to a degree that's still important, but it really is just a census at the end of the day.

00:13:37.000 And when you look at, again, like these redistricting plays, when you look at, again, the immigration that took place under Biden, like fundamentally what these elections are just coming down to is what is the actual makeup of that district, and then it just takes a snapshot of it.

00:13:48.000 That's all that's really occurring.

00:13:50.000 It seems like that should be illegal at the federal level for a state to do that, because that gives that state untoward influence over national elections.

00:13:59.000 So then the Supreme Court has to say, like, hey, you can't just all of a sudden say our state is all Democratic voters because we redistricted everything.

00:14:06.000 That's crazy.

00:14:08.000 But the Constitution is very clear that that is the power that the states retain.

00:14:11.000 And so that's the problem is it was designed that way.

00:14:13.000 You were supposed to be able to throw a spanner in the works. 1.00

00:14:16.000 But when you, like you say, when that no longer becomes an issue of good faith, when people are actively and maliciously using the legal system to skew those politics, all of a sudden that federalism is a problem.

00:14:26.000 Same thing when it comes down to states' rights when you're removing immigration, right?

00:14:30.000 Like ultimately, yes, you should have federalism.

00:14:32.000 They should have control over their law enforcement.

00:14:34.000 But when they're actively choosing to allow violence in their state, when they're targeting Republicans, targeting conservatives, targeting churches, and they're just allowing violence to happen, can you really allow them to continue to operate?

00:14:45.000 And this is the problem.

00:14:46.000 No law will actually bind bad actors.

00:14:49.000 Laws are only for people who are living and working together in a society together.

00:14:54.000 The minute you have people maliciously working to undermine that trust, you can write all the laws you want, and they're never going to matter.

00:15:00.000 It's never rule of law.

00:15:01.000 It's always rule of people.

00:15:02.000 Do you think that the redistricting is just a lost cause?

00:15:05.000 Have you given up on the voting stature of the states?

00:15:10.000 I am not a fan of democracy.

00:15:12.000 So to the extent that I think we have to continue to fight that because it is the way that we legitimize our rulers today, we have to fight for every inch and every advantage inside that system.

00:15:23.000 But I think democracy is largely dead.

00:15:25.000 I don't think we're going to get an actual mandate from the people anymore.

00:15:29.000 I think it's all about pushing and pulling numbers, manipulating zones, controlling machine voting.

00:15:35.000 But the idea that we're going to have some Mr. Smith goes to Washington nationwide debate on issues anymore is a joke.

00:15:40.000 I mean, look at Congress.

00:15:41.000 It can't even pass a bill.

00:15:43.000 You're a smart guy.

00:15:45.000 I appreciate it.

00:15:46.000 I completely agree.

00:15:48.000 We've been heading in this direction, and I feel like it's inevitable.

00:15:51.000 It was an obvious inevitability.

00:15:54.000 We've talked about this a year ago, the geographic hyperpolarization, which was COVID, right?

00:15:58.000 People in New York moved to Florida.

00:16:00.000 We were in West Virginia two months ago.

00:16:04.000 I mean, technically we're still operating in West Virginia.

00:16:06.000 We're here in Florida trying to work out our future plans because of the threats.

00:16:10.000 The interesting thing is, despite the fact that we were in West Virginia, which is very based, you border Maryland and Virginia, and Virginia has gone psych, totally psycho.

00:16:19.000 I mean, what Spanberger's done, the socialists, the left, the commies are throwing their hats in the air screaming and cheering.

00:16:24.000 It's not even an exaggeration.

00:16:26.000 She's erased four years, as Tate said, of Yunkin in 48 hours.

00:16:32.000 We're up there in West Virginia, but bordering this, it's contentious.

00:16:36.000 I have weird beefs over like a skate park thing that was not real.

00:16:39.000 And then I go to like a DC and then there's some people who are like posting things saying temples are racist at a skate park or whatever.

00:16:44.000 Come to Florida and everybody's cheering for us because of the geographic hyperpolarization.

00:16:49.000 This was, what did I say was going to happen with New York and these other jurisdictions?

00:16:53.000 When people leave New York, it's going to weaken the conservative voter base, meaning the politicians, the Democrats, no longer have to try to earn at least some of the conservative vote and be a little moderate.

00:17:06.000 That means when the primary comes around, the psycho commie is going to run against the moderate and the psychokamie is like, I don't got to pander to anybody.

00:17:13.000 The conservatives are gone.

00:17:15.000 This vote is only going to come down to the far left and the centrist Democrat, centrist, the liberal Democrat.

00:17:21.000 And so they're starting to win.

00:17:23.000 And then where we're at now with the redistricting war was obvious.

00:17:27.000 With people in California, conservative leaning moving to Texas and Washington to Arizona and New York to Florida, the ability to push back is gone.

00:17:35.000 And the Democrats in the state say, we cannot shut their voices out completely.

00:17:40.000 The fascinating thing going on, a couple stories we got to go through.

00:17:44.000 New York is eliminating their 11th district seat.

00:17:48.000 They're calling it unconstitutional.

00:17:50.000 They're going to redraw it, eliminating a Republican.

00:17:52.000 Maryland did the same thing.

00:17:53.000 Mike Service had a great tweet.

00:17:54.000 He said Maryland cut a deal with Republicans saying, you don't redistrict in your area, we won't redistrict here.

00:18:00.000 And then when they're, when, I think it was Indiana, when Indiana's like, okay, fine, we won't do it.

00:18:03.000 Maryland goes, psych, we're doing it, let's go.

00:18:05.000 And now they're eliminating the last Republican seat.

00:18:08.000 You can actually just, it's, to me, it's one plus one equals two.

00:18:13.000 What happens when the midterm election is no longer having any toss-ups at all?

00:18:13.000 Okay.

00:18:19.000 It's literally just 200 and you know, 20 Democrats and then the rest of the Republicans had solid blue, solid red.

00:18:27.000 There's no elections anymore.

00:18:28.000 It's literally just a Democrat state will always be Democrat.

00:18:31.000 It's happening at the federal level, the national level, what happened to our cities.

00:18:35.000 The Democrats have controlled Chicago for over 100 years and there's zero chance a Republican will ever get elected there.

00:18:42.000 And now it's happening at the state level and it's coming to Congress.

00:18:45.000 And then what do you think the next course of action will be in this country?

00:18:49.000 Because when there's nowhere left to go, the pressure builds up and the kettle explodes.

00:18:55.000 I think the great sort has to happen.

00:18:57.000 I think it was inevitable.

00:18:58.000 The idea that we could sort.

00:19:01.000 The great sort.

00:19:02.000 Yeah.

00:19:02.000 Yeah, the sorting of the different beliefs.

00:19:05.000 We used to believe you could just live anywhere in the United States and we shared enough values, enough social fabric, you'd be fine.

00:19:11.000 And so people moved to all these places for education and business and these kind of things.

00:19:14.000 But what they found is they were living next to a bunch of people who didn't share their religion, didn't share their beliefs, didn't share their values, and we were constantly in a state of war.

00:19:23.000 Now everybody's going back to the places where they can be around people that they actually agree with, actually believe in, can have real communities.

00:19:29.000 And I think that's actually a positive.

00:19:31.000 One of the upsides of remote work is you can actually live around people and not have to worry about your job being right down the street.

00:19:38.000 You can just live around people you actually care about.

00:19:40.000 So we're seeing more intentional communities.

00:19:42.000 We're seeing people moving together, moving to places where they actually agree.

00:19:45.000 Florida, remember, was a purple state trending blue for most minds because when people came from New York and New Jersey, they came down here to retire and they used their pension.

00:19:54.000 Now the people come in here, they're fleeing COVID.

00:19:56.000 They want to be with Ron DeSantis, their Republicans.

00:19:58.000 What was the DeSantis win margin?

00:20:00.000 I don't remember who DeSantis.

00:20:03.000 That dude who was caught, what was he like doing meth or something? 0.99

00:20:06.000 Yeah, he got caught doing meth with a gay prostitute. 1.00

00:20:08.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:20:09.000 And he was like, didn't he have like foam at the mouth?

00:20:10.000 Or it's like, what was that all about?

00:20:13.000 He almost won.

00:20:14.000 And then DeSantis narrowly wins.

00:20:16.000 And immediately, you know, I want to say thank you to DeSantis for fixing this state and making it what it is.

00:20:22.000 Not just him.

00:20:22.000 The state legislature did a great job as well.

00:20:25.000 It's a shame about his presidential run.

00:20:27.000 Not very good, but Florida's fantastic.

00:20:29.000 So in 2018, DeSantis' win margin was 0.4% over Andrew Gillen.

00:20:35.000 But in 2022, it was a nearly 20% win over Charles.

00:20:39.000 Because everybody came here.

00:20:41.000 DOC came here to vacation because she didn't like her own state's COVID lockdown stuff. 1.00

00:20:45.000 Well, and really importantly, DeSantis cleaned up the voter rolls.

00:20:48.000 This is something that people did not do.

00:20:50.000 This is something guys like Glenn Young didn't do.

00:20:52.000 When DeSantis got into power, he made sure to use that power to secure power in Florida for the Republicans moving forward.

00:21:00.000 You have to take control of those votes.

00:21:03.000 Let's jump to this next story from the new republic, our communist friends.

00:21:06.000 It's civil war, baby.

00:21:08.000 The way they describe it, Abigail Spanberger's first move as Virginia governor was a masterstroke. 1.00

00:21:14.000 Even moderate Democrats can be boldly anti-MAGA.

00:21:17.000 Other centrist Democrats should follow her example. 0.95

00:21:19.000 That's ridiculous. 0.96

00:21:20.000 What did she do? 0.80

00:21:21.000 They say, even before taking office last Saturday, the new Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat, demanded and received the resignations of several of her Republican predecessor Glenn Young's appointees to the board that oversees University of Virginia.

00:21:33.000 In a similar vein, the state's new attorney general, Democrat Jay Jones, forced out legal counsels at George Mason University and the Virginia Military Institute who were appointed by his Republican predecessor.

00:21:43.000 Job change at state colleges aren't usually national news, but what Spanberger and Virginia Democrats are doing matters well beyond Old Dominion.

00:21:49.000 Republicans like Trump and Yunkin keep appointing right-wing partisans to traditionally apolitical roles like university board member and FBI director.

00:21:56.000 These appointments are designed to turn key nonpartisan institutions into apparatuses for the Republican Party.

00:22:02.000 Eparati.

00:22:04.000 Well, here's the bill that I want to show you.

00:22:06.000 This is from las.virginia.gov.

00:22:09.000 Bill details introduced January 14th, 2026.

00:22:14.000 Hey, this is really fun.

00:22:15.000 What does this bill say?

00:22:17.000 Quote, all orders from the federal government or any of its officers, agencies, or departments to the state militia of Virginia, including the National Guard and the unorganized militia, that relate to the call, induction, or drafting of Virginia state troops of any type or description into the federal service for active duty or otherwise and withdrawing them from the control of the governor of Virginia shall be first transmitted to and through the governor of Virginia.

00:22:44.000 The governor, as commander-in-chief of the state militia, shall not approve, consent to, or concur in any such order that has not been transmitted as herein required.

00:22:55.000 Additionally, no armed militia from any other state, from another state, territory, or district shall enter the Commonwealth for the purpose of active military duty without the permission of the governor of Virginia, unless such militia has been called into the federal services for active duty and is acting under the authority of the president of the United States pursuant to Title 10 of U.S. Code.

00:23:12.000 Governor, to be notified of receipt of order, no action taken until his instructions complied with certain communications prohibited.

00:23:19.000 In other words, this may be a lot of bluster, Senate Bill number 337, but I think it's pretty clear what this does.

00:23:28.000 This is basically setting the framework for Trump, the federal government, and the president cannot federalize National Guard.

00:23:36.000 He's done it in other states.

00:23:38.000 He's been challenged in the judiciary.

00:23:40.000 The courts have said yes.

00:23:41.000 The courts have said no.

00:23:42.000 It's currently ongoing.

00:23:44.000 They're attempting to preempt this by passing a state law saying only the governor can approve of it after the president makes the request.

00:23:50.000 And she can say no.

00:23:52.000 So what happens when Donald Trump says we're going to enforce the law in Virginia, and then Virginia refuses or pulls one of these weird anti-ICE bills, which violate the Constitution.

00:24:04.000 Then Donald Trump says, Insurrection Act, and we're going to federalize National Guard to enforce domestic law.

00:24:10.000 And then she says that's illegal in the state of Virginia, pursuant to Senate bill or to, I think this is, what is this?

00:24:17.000 I don't know what the bill title is, 44114.1, Code of Virginia, or amending this.

00:24:22.000 And then what happens after that?

00:24:24.000 He'll have to call up the National Guard of another state.

00:24:27.000 And this also says they can't be sent in.

00:24:30.000 Well, then that turns into an actual confrontation.

00:24:34.000 Never quote laws to men with, well, guns, I guess, in this case.

00:24:38.000 But yeah, it's amazing that the blue states have suddenly discovered that they love John C. Calhoun.

00:24:42.000 All of a sudden they're making nullification arguments.

00:24:45.000 It's absolutely insane.

00:24:46.000 But this just shows you the Democrats don't have principles.

00:24:48.000 They don't care.

00:24:49.000 They care about victory.

00:24:50.000 And this is why I'm so tired of hearing establishment conservatives talk about their principles and their abstract understandings and then complaining when stuff like this happens.

00:24:59.000 You guys set yourselves up for this. 0.95

00:25:01.000 You're weak. 1.00

00:25:01.000 You're cowardly. 1.00

00:25:02.000 You're stupid. 1.00

00:25:02.000 You're childish. 1.00

00:25:03.000 Politics has become existential. 0.94

00:25:05.000 You have to treat it as such.

00:25:06.000 And if you don't take power, if you don't use it, this kind of stuff's going to happen.

00:25:10.000 The Democrats are not going to hesitate to shore a power and pushback against you at every turn.

00:25:14.000 Yeah, we literally had last, it was like a few weeks ago, the whole blue slip debate was going on because, again, Trump's trying to get a judge approved in New Jersey.

00:25:22.000 And Chuck Grassley comes out and he's like, no, we're not touching the blue slip system, which basically just allows a senator from a state to object to a judge appointment, which back in the day made sense because, again, that senator would have like information on like this judge because they're local.

00:25:34.000 Now it's literally just a partisan thing where it's just, again, senators hijacking judge appointments.

00:25:40.000 All this to be said, Chuck Grassley comes out and he's like, no, because during the Biden administration, we utilized the blue slip system and it's part of our American principles.

00:25:49.000 And it would be a total violation of our principles to object to this system.

00:25:53.000 Just utterly ridiculous.

00:25:54.000 They do not know what time it is. 0.97

00:25:54.000 People are not serious. 0.97

00:25:56.000 And it's unbelievably frustrating.

00:25:57.000 And all this happens is, I mean, kind of back to the great sort, is this is just Virginia ultimately, among other things, attempting to shake out Republicans and ensure victory.

00:26:04.000 This is like to the point we were talking about with Florida, where Florida, you know, DeSantis wins decisively.

00:26:08.000 At the same time, in 2021, in the state of New York, Lee Zeldon loses by about 300,000 votes to Kathy Hochul.

00:26:14.000 Where is that margin to victory?

00:26:16.000 Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Jacksonville.

00:26:18.000 That's where they are. 0.65

00:26:19.000 So it's just utterly ridiculous that Republican cowardice is really leading, again, to this great sort in many ways. 0.85

00:26:25.000 It's leading to a shakedown of the entire country at large.

00:26:29.000 The idea of the great sort, it sounds great until the Democrats get control of the federal government and they just install all the laws that they did in Virginia, but do them federally.

00:26:38.000 Oh, it's going to be bonkers, what Democrats do when they get in.

00:26:43.000 They are going to get in, and this modicum of resistance Republicans have feigned, they are going to use as justification for just bulldozing the whole country.

00:26:54.000 They're going to say, well, Donald Trump once, you know, shuffled my garbage can outside my house.

00:27:01.000 That's an affront to justice.

00:27:03.000 So we're going to put you all in prison.

00:27:04.000 We're going to ban guns.

00:27:06.000 We're going to open the borders.

00:27:07.000 And it's just, that's the excuse they're going to use.

00:27:09.000 Democrats have made it clear that a peaceful exchange of power is no longer an option.

00:27:13.000 I mean, they have blatantly said, we're putting Pete Hegseth in jail.

00:27:16.000 We're putting Donald Trump in jail.

00:27:18.000 We're putting everybody who's worked for the administration in jail.

00:27:20.000 We're probably putting a bunch of Trump supporters in jail.

00:27:22.000 You can no longer hand in Democrats power.

00:27:25.000 Push in jail, too.

00:27:26.000 That's what we need the most.

00:27:27.000 He is going to prison.

00:27:28.000 Everyone else is going to go to jail.

00:27:29.000 He's going to protect him.

00:27:30.000 We can six months.

00:27:31.000 He needs a year.

00:27:31.000 He's going to go to jail and help them install webcams for the prisoners.

00:27:34.000 I'll go.

00:27:36.000 What kind of business are you planning to run, Ben?

00:27:38.000 It's just a venture capitalist.

00:27:39.000 Let's go.

00:27:40.000 Making people rich when they get out.

00:27:41.000 No, too, I've made this point before on the show, and people don't believe me.

00:27:44.000 It's literally, if you have a Twitter account and you're expressing support for these ICE operations, go to archive.org.

00:27:53.000 Even if your Twitter's tiny, put in your handle, put in your URL or whatever.

00:27:57.000 Someone is logging your Twitter.

00:27:59.000 People are logging your Twitter.

00:28:00.000 So again, even if it's not like maybe necessarily you going to jail, you're going to face social repercussions if, heaven forbid you ever get docked or something like that.

00:28:07.000 From the top, from these politicians, from these governors, from these senators, all the way down to the activist space, they are watching us and they are salivating at the opportunity to come after us.

00:28:16.000 I'd love to do a bit like this where it's like, you know, three years in the future and we're on IRL and we're like the Democrats have taken every branch of government.

00:28:24.000 The court has been packed and they're now announcing arrest warrants for prominent conservative personalities, independents and moderates.

00:28:30.000 And I fear we're next.

00:28:31.000 And the door busts open.

00:28:32.000 A bunch of dudes with guns come in, grab Ian and drag him out. 0.95

00:28:35.000 And we're like, wait, what?

00:28:36.000 And then one of them walks back and goes, you guys are good.

00:28:37.000 Just terrified.

00:28:39.000 I'm a Patsy.

00:28:40.000 I'm a Patsy.

00:28:42.000 And then it turns out Ian was actually the real brains behind the show the whole time.

00:28:48.000 He writes my script, the prompter right in front of me.

00:28:48.000 I have been.

00:28:50.000 I'm just reading what Ian wrote right now.

00:28:51.000 He's actually running mostly peaceful memes and a bunch of others.

00:28:56.000 Dude, if you could see the things that I writes Trump speeches about radical change on the globe, like the way I think is so far in the future. 0.98

00:29:04.000 So that's why I search for an idiot a lot because it makes me like not a target. 0.99

00:29:08.000 It's so far in the future, it sounds like schizophrenia. 1.00

00:29:10.000 Yeah.

00:29:10.000 It sounds crazy.

00:29:11.000 He's ghostwriting the history books. 1.00

00:29:12.000 Like if you read the white papers of like crypto, like if you read deep tech papers, you can't say, holy fuck. 0.98

00:29:18.000 But what it makes me think is politics. 0.99

00:29:21.000 What the swearing is.

00:29:22.000 Politics is about as crumpled as a wet piece of toilet paper right now.

00:29:27.000 Like mushed into a paste?

00:29:28.000 Yeah, just crusty.

00:29:30.000 This is why the culture war is so important, especially with this redistricting.

00:29:33.000 If it really doesn't matter who's voting, it's just there's going to be blocks of people.

00:29:37.000 You want sane Democrats.

00:29:40.000 You want sane Republicans.

00:29:42.000 So the culture war becomes super important to get people on a kind of a cultural cohesive level.

00:29:47.000 But Ian, so Ian, Oren was making this point on a show today.

00:29:52.000 What do you do when you have a Democrat that says, that basically runs as a moderate, right?

00:29:58.000 And then gets into office and is as far left as you can go.

00:30:02.000 Because that's exactly what Abigail Spangenberger.

00:30:04.000 Spangenberger?

00:30:05.000 Right?

00:30:05.000 Spanberger.

00:30:06.000 Spanberger.

00:30:07.000 I always call her Spanberger. 0.99

00:30:09.000 That's exactly what she did.

00:30:10.000 She ran as a moderate.

00:30:11.000 She was alleged to be a center left Democrat, right? 0.96

00:30:15.000 Very normal Democrat, blah, blah, blah.

00:30:17.000 Gets into the office and then starts ramming through all of the most far-left stuff that any progressive would ever want.

00:30:28.000 If you can't ascertain what your politicians are going to do by what they say, then, I mean, essentially, your vote is worthless.

00:30:38.000 Never forget that FDR ran on a small government platform.

00:30:42.000 Did he really?

00:30:43.000 Roosevelt ran on reducing the size of government, getting government out of things, and then immediately turned around and basically said, I'm taking total power and completely running a revolution through this country.

00:30:53.000 This is as old as it gets, man.

00:30:55.000 Like, you can't trust politicians.

00:30:56.000 Of course they're going to lie. 1.00

00:30:57.000 The only people who are dumb enough to believe them are Republicans. 0.99

00:31:00.000 The Democrats know you run as a moderate and then you become Mao as soon as you get into office. 1.00

00:31:05.000 That's how they operate.

00:31:06.000 I want to talk about the story since we have you here on McIntyre.

00:31:09.000 This is an interesting chain of events that occurred on Axe.

00:31:11.000 It started with this video of Congress.

00:31:14.000 It looks like Jeremy Hambley, to become honest.

00:31:17.000 There's a guy in Minnesota with a Glenn.

00:31:20.000 Is that just like an AR-15?

00:31:21.000 It's an AR with a can on it with silence.

00:31:22.000 Yeah, it looks like it.

00:31:23.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:31:23.000 Are you right?

00:31:24.000 Suppressor.

00:31:26.000 And he basically says he's out here to protect his neighbors.

00:31:29.000 This is my neighborhood.

00:31:30.000 Well, Gunther Eagleman says, lock him up. 0.98

00:31:32.000 Now, hold on there, gosh, darn a minute. 0.96

00:31:34.000 We're 2A people here. 0.97

00:31:35.000 People like to keep in bare arms, and they can walk around doing whatever they want with their guns.

00:31:35.000 We love guns.

00:31:38.000 I certainly think so.

00:31:39.000 In response to this, you got a community note saying, this is the Second Amendment, which gives people the right to keep and bear arms.

00:31:45.000 Gunther Eagleman has previously said, we must never give up our Second Amendment.

00:31:50.000 In response to this, Hannah Cox says, there it goes.

00:31:53.000 MAGA zombies have flipped on every other conservative position, and now they don't even like the Second Amendment.

00:31:59.000 Now, my response to this is this right here on the surface, totally fine.

00:32:05.000 I don't care.

00:32:06.000 It's a dude.

00:32:08.000 To be honest, seems a little out of shape, but he's got a weapon.

00:32:10.000 He's got good trigger discipline.

00:32:11.000 I accept it, and he's allowed to do it.

00:32:13.000 And by all means, please.

00:32:15.000 The question is, what is the intent behind it?

00:32:18.000 Is he fighting oppression and tyranny, or is he supporting oppression and tyranny?

00:32:22.000 And the issue is this is a lawful government duly elected, enforcing its laws, which have been in the books for decades.

00:32:29.000 In which case, this is not, as our moral worldview, who believe in the Second Amendment, a justifiable instance of bearing arms to support lawful governance and the right of the people.

00:32:41.000 In fact, it is rogue operators trying to supplant the will of the people as we have duly operated in our previous election.

00:32:49.000 The Republicans didn't go out and shoot anybody.

00:32:51.000 They didn't write and burn everything down.

00:32:53.000 By all means, go ahead and scream J6. 1.00

00:32:55.000 I'm not for that either.

00:32:56.000 The point is, this guy is not here to represent lawful governance.

00:33:00.000 He is here to say, I don't care for your lawful governance.

00:33:04.000 Which sends me to this before we get into everything.

00:33:06.000 The point here and the question of whether or not this is actually about the Second Amendment, I bring you a passage from Ulysses S. Grant following the Civil War, for which I'm interested in Oren's opinion.

00:33:16.000 He said in his memoirs, if the war had been a war of rebellion against tyranny, I should have been on the side of the rebellion.

00:33:22.000 I would have been.

00:33:23.000 I should have been on the side of rebellion, but it was not.

00:33:25.000 There was a right of revolution, but there was no right of rebellion against a lawful government.

00:33:29.000 The right of revolution is a natural one and is not to be questioned, but rebellion against constitute authority is treason and must be treated as such.

00:33:37.000 The Constitution gave the right to change the form of government in a lawful way, and no government is safe unless the right is reserved to the people.

00:33:45.000 But rebellion against an existing government is an offense and must be punished.

00:33:49.000 The southern states had no more right to secede from the union than a county has to secede from a state.

00:33:55.000 Now, while I don't completely agree, I do believe it's fair to say the South decided to engage in our functioning constitutional process.

00:34:02.000 When they lost that electoral process, they then said, we're out.

00:34:06.000 Now, hold on.

00:34:08.000 We all agreed blood and treasure were sacrificed.

00:34:11.000 You were admitted.

00:34:12.000 And then you didn't like the outcome.

00:34:13.000 So you said, I'm taking my ball and going home.

00:34:15.000 That's different from the American Revolution where we said, please let us be involved in governance.

00:34:20.000 And the crown said no and decided for us, despite the fact we were largely autonomous.

00:34:24.000 These are completely distinct.

00:34:26.000 And what these people who are saying against MAGA doesn't like Second Amendment anymore don't understand is that there are distinct moral worldviews and nuances to when and how we determine you have a right to fight back against a tyrannical government.

00:34:37.000 But Auren, I'm curious, based on everything I just said, what your thoughts are.

00:34:41.000 I mean, with the situation in the South, what you're looking about, like you said, our founding fathers pointed out that the reason they needed to leave is that they wanted the rights of the Englishman.

00:34:50.000 Like that was their problem.

00:34:51.000 They wanted the rights that they felt they were entitled to as Englishmen and that was not being upheld by the parliament.

00:34:56.000 A lot of people say it was a war against the king, but actually they appealed to the king regularly, hoping that he would save them from parliament.

00:35:01.000 And when he wouldn't, only then did they say, okay, now we have to appeal to heaven because we have no other place to appeal.

00:35:07.000 We have the right of a revolution.

00:35:08.000 I think this is a bad understanding from Grant.

00:35:12.000 I mean, obviously, they participated in the government.

00:35:14.000 The South decided that they were not receiving the rights that they believe that they were due.

00:35:18.000 And if the 10th Amendment means anything, if their states actually have rights reserved to them, then the right to leave has to be part of it.

00:35:25.000 If you don't have a right to leave, you don't have a right to anything.

00:35:28.000 Now, ultimately, I don't think any government can actually enshrine the right of revolution.

00:35:32.000 I think that's not how constitutions actually work.

00:35:34.000 But spiritually, morally, I think you do have a fair argument for being able to leave at that time.

00:35:40.000 Of course, people tie the war to slavery, and that's why now they just make it that instead.

00:35:45.000 But on the issue of a leftist bearing arms in Minnesota for the purpose of it's intimidation against ICE.

00:35:52.000 Yes, right?

00:35:53.000 Is open carry allowed in Minnesota?

00:35:56.000 It is.

00:35:56.000 Oh, it is.

00:35:57.000 So he was lawfully.

00:35:58.000 Well, presumably he is.

00:36:00.000 But my point is simply, first and foremost, I'm totally fine with what that guy is doing.

00:36:04.000 That being said, there's a question about if his purpose is to intimidate and threaten duly appointed law enforcement that we voted on, is this a question of rebellion or is it a question of treason and sedition and or sedition?

00:36:18.000 I'm fine with states' rights as long as we all get them.

00:36:20.000 The funny thing is, I know the Democrats, this is all going to disappear tomorrow, right?

00:36:23.000 They don't actually believe in any of this.

00:36:24.000 If they want to be consistent on this, I'm fine, but I know they're not going to be.

00:36:28.000 You know, as far as this particular dude is, you can very easily make an argument that he's aiding and abetting criminal activity, right?

00:36:34.000 The point is he's out there intending to intimidate law enforcement when they're trying to wrap up illegal aliens and people that are breaking the law because not all these people that are quote-unquote protesting are peacefully protesting.

00:36:48.000 They're actually out there.

00:36:49.000 You know, they're inhibiting law enforcement.

00:36:52.000 They're engaging in violent activities.

00:36:54.000 They're intimidating other people.

00:36:55.000 So, I mean, you can make a completely reasonable argument saying, look, he's out there specifically to aid and abet criminal activity, not to exercise the Second Amendment.

00:37:04.000 I don't think it's a reasonable, that wouldn't be, I don't think I would stand a reason that he was aiding and abetting because unless he threatened the cop.

00:37:09.000 No, no.

00:37:10.000 The specific reason that he's out there is to make ICE aware that he's got a gun.

00:37:10.000 He's out.

00:37:15.000 Yeah.

00:37:16.000 That's a citizen.

00:37:17.000 The intent is to intimidate law enforcement that's acting illegally.

00:37:23.000 If you're intimidated by me having a gun, that's your problem.

00:37:25.000 It's not, I'm not doing it.

00:37:26.000 You're not, I'm not law enforcement.

00:37:28.000 Like I said, this is about law enforcement trying to do their job.

00:37:34.000 I'm going to put it like this.

00:37:36.000 And I'm looking for your response.

00:37:39.000 Are we going to play the game of drat?

00:37:42.000 They've used our principles against us once again.

00:37:44.000 I guess they win and they get to take over.

00:37:46.000 Or do we say the laws are intended for a duly faithful people, faithful to God or the government, however you want to view it, who agree with each other and say we work together, we understand what the rules are.

00:37:58.000 If you're going to people who want to destroy you and saying, I will bestow upon you all the rights that I hold as well, knowing you won't return in kind and are actively trying to kill me, shut my government down and change everything that I believe in, we lose.

00:38:14.000 We lose overnight if that's the case.

00:38:16.000 So my point is, again, this video on the surface, no problems.

00:38:21.000 It's a guy standing around with a rifle.

00:38:23.000 I really don't care, and I'm not going to complain about it.

00:38:25.000 The greater, the bigger picture, individuals showing up with weapons intending to intimidate ICE because they have a moral worldview distinct from ours and the founding fathers and our constitution, what this country is supposed to be, and they seek to destroy our way of life.

00:38:40.000 If we say to them, do as you must, do as you please, we know for a fact tomorrow they're going to say, on your knees to the gulag, do we let them do it?

00:38:51.000 There's an old saying, for my friends, everything, and for my enemies, the law.

00:38:55.000 And so, you know, there's one of the scenarios where, yes, there's a certain set of laws in place, but the way that they get enforced and actually carried out really determines everything.

00:39:05.000 And so, yeah, we need to do things under the color of law.

00:39:08.000 I think we should maintain the rule of law.

00:39:10.000 But to the extent we can use law to our advantage, we should do that in every single sense.

00:39:15.000 We should maximize that, every opportunity.

00:39:17.000 So does this one guy get to carry his gun out there?

00:39:20.000 But I want to see Don Lemon rotting in jail for 10 years.

00:39:20.000 Maybe.

00:39:23.000 I want to see every guy who walked into that church spending 10 years in jail.

00:39:27.000 I want the maximum penalty.

00:39:28.000 I want the law prosecuting every single person who breaks it.

00:39:32.000 So, yeah, we can allow this guy to hold his gun, but the minute he does anything, I want him in jail for the rest of his life, and I want to make sure he and his friends all go to jail if they're involved in criminal conspiracy to do things like inhibit rights.

00:39:44.000 So, I think we should use the law effectively in every situation.

00:39:47.000 Well, that's why they're calling him Kyle Reddit House, because he knows exactly what he's saying.

00:39:51.000 Yeah, he's literally like trying to, again, weaponize.

00:39:54.000 This is what's so frustrating about the fact that conservatives, there's so many MUP principles, conservatives, because he's very aware of what he's doing here.

00:40:01.000 This is a strategy, again, to like bait conservatives into coming out and defending him.

00:40:06.000 It really is just the most pernicious Reddit strategy.

00:40:08.000 But can we call him something like the Sautering or something like that?

00:40:14.000 You know what I mean?

00:40:16.000 If he puts that brace on his shoulder, he's broken the law, right?

00:40:19.000 Yeah.

00:40:19.000 That's still technically the ATF.

00:40:21.000 Yeah, so all we need to do is get a bunch of stuff.

00:40:22.000 No, no, that's not a short-barreled rifle, though.

00:40:26.000 It is because that's not pistol.

00:40:28.000 That's a pistol.

00:40:29.000 It's a pistol because he has the brace instead of a bracelet.

00:40:31.000 No, The length of it determines whether it's a pistol.

00:40:35.000 Sure, sure.

00:40:36.000 If it is.

00:40:36.000 Not the brace.

00:40:37.000 No, no, no, the brace does.

00:40:38.000 Because the brace is, the way the law is written, the brace is what you put on a pistol.

00:40:44.000 I understand.

00:40:45.000 I'm saying that if you took an actual long gun that doesn't qualify as an SBR and put a brace on the back of it.

00:40:52.000 Sure, sure.

00:40:53.000 It's not a pistol.

00:40:54.000 But the brace is a working around of putting a stop.

00:40:58.000 So I'm asking specifically, that's actually shorter.

00:41:02.000 But I guess would be without the can, that's under 15 inches.

00:41:04.000 Yeah, that means that's the same thing.

00:41:05.000 That's like a 10 and a half, probably 11 and a half with a six inch cancel.

00:41:08.000 Right, the intention of those is literally you're supposed to hold it like a pistol.

00:41:11.000 In theory, that's supposed to go on your arm.

00:41:13.000 The brace is because some people have disabilities.

00:41:15.000 So they need a way to hold it, but you can brace it against your shoulder.

00:41:15.000 Right.

00:41:18.000 And the mini puts on a shoulder, he is breaking the law.

00:41:21.000 Technically, yes.

00:41:22.000 Yeah, if you shoulder.

00:41:24.000 I remember when, was it during Biden they banned braces?

00:41:28.000 The ATF decided that braces were illegal.

00:41:30.000 And then I had to go through all of my guns for which I have like just so many and then detach all of the braces and separate them.

00:41:38.000 Otherwise, I was at risk of being a felon despite the fact no law had been passed.

00:41:42.000 So y'all want to play these games.

00:41:44.000 I don't care.

00:41:46.000 I'm not going to sit here and say you can do whatever you want because you have rights and then you're going to point your gun at me and put me in a gulag.

00:41:52.000 Not only had there been the law.

00:41:53.000 Not only had there been no law passed, the ATF had multiple times said that a brace does not make a pistol into a short barrel rifle.

00:42:01.000 They had multiple decisions or I don't know what they call it.

00:42:04.000 It's not decisions, but they released multiple guidelines and letters to people saying, look, no, I personally waited about seven or eight years before I bought a brace because I was like, they're going to, and when they first came out, when the SIG brace came out, I was like, they're going to throw people in jail for that.

00:42:20.000 I got an idea.

00:42:21.000 Have you got, what are those things?

00:42:22.000 Tensegrity, Tensegrity.

00:42:24.000 Have you heard of these things?

00:42:25.000 Have you never seen these things?

00:42:26.000 Let me see if I can pull this up.

00:42:28.000 What is it?

00:42:29.000 Is that a South Park episode?

00:42:31.000 No, Come on. 0.85

00:42:33.000 Let me see if I can find a Tensegrity.

00:42:35.000 Yeah, Tenseegrity.

00:42:37.000 Yeah.

00:42:37.000 I want to find a good one.

00:42:39.000 Here we go.

00:42:40.000 Here we go.

00:42:41.000 Hi, I'm Xerxes from the Ontario Science Center.

00:42:41.000 I got an idea.

00:42:44.000 Hi, Xerxes.

00:42:44.000 Have you ever seen one of them?

00:42:44.000 Banging.

00:42:45.000 We don't need to hear what you have to say.

00:42:47.000 Have you ever seen one of them?

00:42:47.000 So.

00:42:47.000 So look at this thing.

00:42:49.000 Right?

00:42:50.000 That's cool.

00:42:51.000 So it looks like it makes no sense.

00:42:54.000 How is it floating like that?

00:42:55.000 Well, it's actually quite simple.

00:42:56.000 This is hanging, so it's being suspended, and it can't topple over because this is being held down.

00:43:01.000 Make a brace like a Tensegrity, and then you're like, well, there's actually no connecting parts holding it together.

00:43:08.000 So therefore, I'm kidding.

00:43:10.000 Don't do that.

00:43:11.000 It's a joke.

00:43:13.000 No, but that would be funny, though.

00:43:15.000 Just like, just like Ian's like, maybe.

00:43:18.000 Use the law in every single way you can.

00:43:21.000 We should use the law.

00:43:22.000 But every single time that anyone on the left breaks the law, even the slightest bit, you throw the book at him.

00:43:28.000 I don't think prosecutorial discretion is super important.

00:43:31.000 And evil laws can be used too.

00:43:33.000 It's not.

00:43:34.000 I mean, I feel like you're not even listening to what the conversation is.

00:43:38.000 Every law at your discretion to prosecute your enemies.

00:43:40.000 Yeah, but I'm not saying no.

00:43:41.000 Sometimes you use discretion with law and you prosecute.

00:43:45.000 Not when you're in a literal fight for existence.

00:43:48.000 You know, it'd be great.

00:43:49.000 You know, if you literally are.

00:43:49.000 You're not.

00:43:50.000 You know, it'd be really great.

00:43:52.000 Ian, it would be really great if you read about Catalonia.

00:43:55.000 Have you read a bit?

00:43:57.000 Yeah.

00:43:57.000 I mean, read about the efforts of the anarchist peoples and their, they think the way you do.

00:44:03.000 And do you know what happened to them?

00:44:06.000 What's the reference here?

00:44:07.000 This is the Spanish Catalonia Revolution or something.

00:44:11.000 Yeah, they're hippie-dippy do unto others people, and they were crushed every single time.

00:44:16.000 And it still happens to this day where they get crushed by the government.

00:44:18.000 Because people who play the game of slow down there, let's have a conversation get crushed every time.

00:44:25.000 Imagine having a city and like someone comes to you and goes, Genghis Khan is coming to our city. 0.65

00:44:31.000 What do we do?

00:44:32.000 And you're like, hold on.

00:44:33.000 We got to think about this clearly and not go overboard.

00:44:37.000 And you go, okay, well, he's got advanced spies coming in and stealing our weapons.

00:44:41.000 And you go, well, can we prove it?

00:44:43.000 They're like, the guy's running away right now.

00:44:45.000 Well, we don't know what he's running for.

00:44:47.000 We got to make sure we treat these people fairly and equally.

00:44:49.000 And then you just, an hour later, he runs and massacres you.

00:44:53.000 You know, the civilian mind is different from the military mind.

00:44:55.000 I'm not in a military mindset right now.

00:44:57.000 I'm in a civilian mindset.

00:44:58.000 Okay, Ian, I have a question. 0.95

00:44:59.000 A guy breaks into your house, he breaks into your house, and he's screaming, oh, I'm here to kill Ian Crossland.

00:45:06.000 Are you going to be like, well, you know, he's allowed to have guns.

00:45:08.000 I better not use the law against him.

00:45:10.000 No, I would use the law on my own.

00:45:12.000 Why in that circumstance, but not in the macro?

00:45:15.000 Why in the micro, not in the macro?

00:45:16.000 This guy broke.

00:45:17.000 What do you mean exactly?

00:45:18.000 It's a weird question.

00:45:19.000 No, so my point is that when it affects you personally, you have no problem saying, I'll use the law against you.

00:45:19.000 What do you mean?

00:45:25.000 If someone breaks into someone's house in a state where you can shoot them, then you have to defend your territory and your life.

00:45:31.000 You have to defend them.

00:45:31.000 You have to.

00:45:32.000 You have a duty to your family.

00:45:33.000 What if foreigners who want to murder your whole people break into your country with weapons threatening to kill you? 1.00

00:45:40.000 Do you have to defend them?

00:45:42.000 You have a duty as the military to defend the country, yes.

00:45:45.000 Okay, so that's happening right now.

00:45:47.000 But we're talking about a dude standing outside.

00:45:50.000 Who's he defending?

00:45:50.000 Practicing his purpose of his gun?

00:45:53.000 No, he's not defending him.

00:45:55.000 You don't have to claim a defendant to issue your Second Amendment right.

00:45:58.000 This is the point.

00:45:58.000 What is he doing?

00:46:00.000 He's defending the immigrant community.

00:46:01.000 That's what he's doing.

00:46:02.000 I don't know what he was doing.

00:46:02.000 I mean, he's just standing.

00:46:04.000 I saw a picture of him standing there with a rifle pointed at him.

00:46:06.000 Why, Ian, why is that guy outside?

00:46:08.000 To show ICE that there's an armed people waiting in the middle of the street.

00:46:12.000 And what is ICE doing?

00:46:14.000 Throwing people out of the country? 0.77

00:46:15.000 Arresting people who should not be here, criminals, rapists, illegal immigrants in general. 1.00

00:46:19.000 And that guy's attempting to intimidate them.

00:46:22.000 So now let's try again.

00:46:23.000 Someone breaks into your house and screams.

00:46:26.000 Me walking around with my rifle out is not intimidating.

00:46:28.000 You just said that was his intention.

00:46:30.000 His intention was to show ICE that there's a militia.

00:46:30.000 I don't know.

00:46:33.000 That's not an intimidation.

00:46:34.000 ICE should know that there's a militia.

00:46:35.000 I think that's intimidating.

00:46:37.000 Let's try this again. 1.00

00:46:39.000 A guy breaks into your house screaming, I'm here to kill Ian Crossland. 0.70

00:46:42.000 And then another guy shows up and says, look, I'm not here to kill Ian. 0.94

00:46:45.000 I just have a gun pointed at him.

00:46:46.000 Should you use the law against him too?

00:46:48.000 You defend.

00:46:49.000 if someone's pointing a gun at you, you have a right to defend yourself.

00:46:53.000 They're essentially.

00:46:54.000 My point is when like, we've had conversations like this so often where when the issue comes to you personally, you have no problem being like, well, of course, that's why you would do it.

00:47:02.000 And when the issue comes to the betterment of the country and the laws and our Constitution, you're just like, nah, let the bad guys do whatever they do.

00:47:08.000 As I'm sitting here listening to you guys, I just hear Democrats having this exact same conversation about people like you is what I and so don't become the enemy you're trying to destroy.

00:47:17.000 Don't become the team.

00:47:19.000 Let them destroy you.

00:47:20.000 No.

00:47:20.000 Why would you ever let someone destroy you?

00:47:22.000 It's literally what you're talking about.

00:47:24.000 You're talking about literally earlier you just said that we weren't in an existential conflict.

00:47:28.000 You should not utter those words.

00:47:31.000 You said, Phil, you're sitting here in a podcast.

00:47:33.000 Yeah, yeah, and that's what I'm saying.

00:47:35.000 My point is what existential means.

00:47:37.000 Ian, is my life under threat right now?

00:47:40.000 I can't, it doesn't look like it.

00:47:42.000 You would be incorrect.

00:47:42.000 Why am I in this building?

00:47:43.000 Why are our lives constantly under threat?

00:47:45.000 It's the world.

00:47:46.000 You know, doesn't Russia have nukes pointed at our country?

00:47:49.000 Ian, why are we in Florida?

00:47:52.000 Setting up, I know setting up a new shot, you know, looking for something new.

00:47:57.000 Because we're running an entertainment company.

00:47:58.000 We need security.

00:47:59.000 You want to be closer to the money?

00:48:00.000 What happened that made us do that, Ian?

00:48:03.000 People, obsessive people, come and say.

00:48:06.000 If this thing happened, say it.

00:48:09.000 The people shot a gun outside the studio.

00:48:11.000 People shot three rounds at our studio.

00:48:14.000 They're trying to kill us.

00:48:17.000 Me in point. 0.66

00:48:18.000 Stripping people of their rights.

00:48:20.000 Their right to what?

00:48:21.000 To carry a weapon outside.

00:48:22.000 That said, that was fine.

00:48:24.000 If the intention is to intimidate our duly appointed law enforcement, we say no.

00:48:31.000 We don't tolerate people who are trying to destroy us.

00:48:33.000 Yeah, but we don't know that guy's intention.

00:48:35.000 I said, if he breaks the law, throw the book at him.

00:48:38.000 And then you're like, no, judges have difference, blah, blah, blah.

00:48:40.000 I didn't say just throw him in jail for no reason.

00:48:43.000 I said, if he breaks the law, throw the book at him.

00:48:46.000 And that is the same argument they used on January 6th.

00:48:46.000 Right.

00:48:49.000 So now you're just moving.

00:48:51.000 This is just the, oh, well, we have to give up because the other side is literally just.

00:48:56.000 My response to your, but they think the same thing is duh.

00:49:00.000 The hat feels in the McCoy's.

00:49:02.000 Do you think one side was justified, the other wasn't?

00:49:04.000 They're just feuding.

00:49:06.000 That's reality.

00:49:08.000 Who's right in any grand conflict?

00:49:11.000 Let's talk about like Korea versus Japan. 0.60

00:49:14.000 Who was morally justified?

00:49:15.000 I don't know.

00:49:16.000 Exactly.

00:49:17.000 There's a dispute between people, sometimes it's aggressors, sometimes ideological, sometimes it's resource-driven.

00:49:22.000 But all that matters is right now in this country, there are two political moral philosophies.

00:49:28.000 Both say the other is the bad guy.

00:49:30.000 And you know what?

00:49:31.000 We are correct.

00:49:32.000 And they say the exact same thing.

00:49:34.000 But I know that we're correct because we fact-check these things and they don't.

00:49:39.000 Now, some of them may, but they lie all the time.

00:49:42.000 They lie about everything.

00:49:45.000 I'll give them some credit on the one-screen two movies with Renee Goode.

00:49:49.000 But you take a look at J6. 0.91

00:49:51.000 You take a look at Don Lemon and what's going on with Don Lennon.

00:49:54.000 On January 6th, you had rioters.

00:49:56.000 I have no problem telling the world the rioters should go to prison.

00:50:00.000 You beat a cop, you go to jail.

00:50:02.000 And they did.

00:50:03.000 I think three years was fair.

00:50:04.000 I think it's actually a little bit long.

00:50:06.000 So a commutation and a pardon for their 20-year sentences does make sense.

00:50:09.000 Do the liberals say anything like that?

00:50:11.000 No.

00:50:12.000 They say the innocent people who should have, after the riot, walking onto public land they had no idea was closed to public, the doors were open, should go to prison because they're evil insurrectionists.

00:50:22.000 They say that Owen Schroyer, who never went in the building, should go to prison.

00:50:25.000 They said that Brennan Strzok, who never went in the building, should go to prison because they don't care.

00:50:31.000 They don't fact check and they want to destroy us.

00:50:33.000 You just said people that went into that church should all go to prison for 10 years.

00:50:39.000 Like, yeah, when one side decides, so are you familiar with game theory?

00:50:44.000 Yeah.

00:50:45.000 Okay.

00:50:45.000 Tell me more about it.

00:50:46.000 So, prisoner's dilemma, right?

00:50:47.000 You have to have a you have to have two people cooperating, or as soon as someone defects, you have to defect in order to keep the equilibrium.

00:50:55.000 The only way you ever keep equilibrium inside a system is to have one, is to have it to make sure that you have a reciprocal strategy.

00:51:03.000 If you have one side say, okay, we're sending people for 10 to people to prison for 30 years who weren't even in J6, who weren't even in the area.

00:51:11.000 And then when they do something similar and you don't push back, you don't give them a reciprocal pushback, they will just continue that strategy of defecting infinitely because there's no incentive for them to stop.

00:51:23.000 What you're suggesting is they get to defect infinitely and we always have to cooperate.

00:51:27.000 How does that game end?

00:51:28.000 Well, I don't think that either is justified.

00:51:33.000 The game ends with de-escalation.

00:51:34.000 No.

00:51:36.000 The way I'm saying is it the right answer.

00:51:38.000 No, let's try again.

00:51:40.000 Here's the question.

00:51:41.000 If they are putting J Sixers in prison for 20 years, even people who didn't go in the building, and we don't put them in prison when they violate the Klan Act or the FACE Act, what is the next logic ⁇ what's the logical conclusion to that kind of system? 0.97

00:51:55.000 There would be multiple possible conclusions to that.

00:51:58.000 One is the other side says, okay, then we're done.

00:52:00.000 We're not going to do this anymore.

00:52:01.000 Another side would be a problem.

00:52:02.000 You're being intentionally obviously weak.

00:52:04.000 Now let's stomp them into paste. 0.98

00:52:06.000 And that's what they've been doing for the past 10 years.

00:52:06.000 Agreed.

00:52:09.000 Why would they stop now?

00:52:10.000 Honest question.

00:52:11.000 Why would they stop now?

00:52:12.000 They've escalated.

00:52:12.000 They haven't stopped.

00:52:14.000 Firstly, silly question.

00:52:15.000 Who's they? 0.81

00:52:16.000 Who?

00:52:16.000 I'm a genuine question.

00:52:17.000 Genuine question.

00:52:18.000 Left moral worldview.

00:52:20.000 Disparate factions aligned with a multicultural democratic society, whereas we are the constitutional Republican faction.

00:52:27.000 people don't want civil war they don't want what does that do with what we're talking about you You said, why would they stop now?

00:52:32.000 They don't want conflict.

00:52:33.000 They don't want to.

00:52:34.000 The people who are roving around in Minneapolis beating pedestrians, pulling cars over, they're pulling cars over.

00:52:41.000 They're stalking white people because they look like they might be ICE and harassing them.

00:52:46.000 There's videos of them ripping a guy, telling a guy screaming, take it off, because he wore an American flag hoodie.

00:52:52.000 And then you have the storming of a church in violation of the law.

00:52:56.000 They're not stopping.

00:52:57.000 They've been escalating.

00:52:58.000 And this is, you still have the George Floyd Square in Minneapolis years later.

00:53:03.000 They caused billions of dollars in damage.

00:53:05.000 They firebombed the White House grounds, set fire to St. John's Church, and they mocked Trump when he did disperse the crowd.

00:53:11.000 They called him bunker boy because he was brought into an emergency bunker.

00:53:14.000 Right now, what we have been witnessing is the right has done nothing but beg the system.

00:53:20.000 We voted in November because we are moral and just people to say we don't riot, we don't burn things down, we don't shoot people, we vote.

00:53:27.000 And then we did, and Trump's been somewhat ineffective domestically in this regard.

00:53:32.000 If we continue to allow Democrats to beat, murder, and terrorize, and we do nothing, there is only one logical conclusion at this point.

00:53:43.000 We will be crushed into paste.

00:53:45.000 So if the left is beating, murdering, and terrorizing, are you suggesting the right should also do that?

00:53:50.000 The right should use the law against these people and put them in prison.

00:53:54.000 Like I said, we do.

00:53:55.000 We vote.

00:53:56.000 We beg the system to deal with it.

00:53:58.000 We don't go out.

00:53:59.000 We don't write.

00:54:00.000 We don't shoot people.

00:54:01.000 You suggested these people should not go to prison for storming the church.

00:54:04.000 I didn't say that.

00:54:05.000 I just said 10 years.

00:54:06.000 I say now 10 years is the same.

00:54:08.000 Well, that's the penalty, isn't it?

00:54:09.000 That's the maximum.

00:54:10.000 I'm trying to remember the exact part of the act.

00:54:13.000 Conspiracy against rights.

00:54:14.000 Yeah, well, that's what they're charging.

00:54:15.000 They're saying they're charging under the KKK Act because they said the FACE Act is a little bit difficult because of the ingress and egress.

00:54:23.000 Did you actually block?

00:54:24.000 So it's easier to just go after conspiracy of rights, though.

00:54:27.000 I think they'll also catch FACE Act violations.

00:54:30.000 Yeah, I don't think 10 years is good, but I do think prison in general, and that means at least a year, is the federal statute.

00:54:38.000 10 years.

00:54:39.000 Yeah, it was 10 years.

00:54:40.000 The maximum penalty for Klan Act is 10 years.

00:54:42.000 With aggravating factors, it can be life.

00:54:45.000 Life in prison.

00:54:46.000 And so now you have the state laws where they've enacted these civil rights protections, re-enshrined them, which religion is one of them.

00:54:55.000 I say live by the sword.

00:54:57.000 We treat others as how they want to be treated.

00:55:00.000 So if Democrats say we are going to protect against discrimination, we say, well, you storm into a church.

00:55:05.000 Religion is a protected class. 0.98

00:55:07.000 And you lock them up.

00:55:10.000 Those are their rules.

00:55:11.000 I personally think that that's reasonable.

00:55:13.000 I was putting myself in the heads of some of those churchgoers probably that really thought they were about to do that.

00:55:17.000 The thing that matters ultimately in the end is that I think it is obvious to everybody watching the show that Democrats think they're right and they're justified.

00:55:25.000 The difference is the moral framework they use, which was the point of bringing this up.

00:55:28.000 Do we believe in the Second Amendment?

00:55:30.000 Is it universal?

00:55:31.000 It's certainly not universal.

00:55:32.000 The Second Amendment applies to good Americans who believe in the Constitution against those who would subvert it, like these people are.

00:55:38.000 So we can frame it like this.

00:55:41.000 The American people are all holding hands, singing songs under a rainbow.

00:55:45.000 When the British return, my God, it's Revolutionary War 2.0. 0.52

00:55:49.000 A bunch of British people land with U-boats crashing into the shores of California for some reason in the Pacific.

00:55:55.000 There was a flanked attack, and they say, we're taking this land back for the crown.

00:56:00.000 And they pull out guns.

00:56:01.000 Are we going to be like, well, they have a right to keep bare arms?

00:56:03.000 Are we going to be like, enemy invaders, put them down?

00:56:05.000 That's completely unrealistic.

00:56:06.000 They'd be like, sorry, we are here.

00:56:10.000 Of course, we don't give our enemy foreign invasion.

00:56:14.000 So Rand Mamdani's campaign said that he was intentionally going to protect non-citizens from federal law enforcement that were duly appointed by the duly elected American government.

00:56:26.000 That is insurrection.

00:56:27.000 He announced it.

00:56:28.000 He went on the view and said he wants to abolish ICE.

00:56:31.000 This is an individual not from this country, later did gain citizenship, threatening the people who democratically elected a Congress, a president who then appointed and the Senate confirmed a Supreme Court.

00:56:45.000 And these people are saying, your laws be damned.

00:56:48.000 We'll do what we want. 0.96

00:56:49.000 And one of these guys is walking around with a gun.

00:56:51.000 And we go, Drat.

00:56:53.000 He's used our own rules against us.

00:56:55.000 Well, I say that brace could be a federal offense.

00:56:59.000 I'm not going to give you any leeway here.

00:57:01.000 No benefit of the doubt.

00:57:02.000 Look, now I'm not going to rag on the leftists who do believe in owning guns, but for the liberals who have tried to ban them like they're doing right now in Virginia, making it harder to buy guns, why would I give these people an inch?

00:57:13.000 I'm going to be like, nah, you live the way you want, and you support the people that want to take guns away.

00:57:18.000 So I say you get what you want.

00:57:20.000 When Eisenhower was sending the 101st down to the South to march people into schools by bayonet to break segregation, there weren't a bunch of Southerners sitting there with their guns pointing them, laying them on their arm, staring at the 101st airborne.

00:57:35.000 That's not how it went down.

00:57:36.000 And if they had, they would have learned a lesson real quick.

00:57:39.000 It's not like there's some kind of lack of precedent here.

00:57:42.000 Let's jump to this story where things are getting a little spicy.

00:57:44.000 We've got this from Newsweek.

00:57:46.000 Speedway faces boycott calls after ICE agents kicked out of gas station.

00:57:51.000 Social media users are alleging that Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other federal agents were denied service at a Speedway in Minnesota.

00:57:58.000 Self-described journalist.

00:58:00.000 Self-described?

00:58:01.000 Come on, Newsweek.

00:58:02.000 Cam Higby wrote an accident Wednesday.

00:58:03.000 Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino denied service.

00:58:05.000 I do believe we actually have the video here.

00:58:08.000 And I think this is the Speedway video.

00:58:11.000 Yeah, it looks like it.

00:58:12.000 And they actually threw food at him.

00:58:24.000 So I'm not sure anybody should get charged for throwing Doritos at a guy.

00:58:27.000 But I do think that Speedway should issue a statement saying we do not want to have anything to do with this.

00:58:35.000 Well, yeah, I mean, that's it.

00:58:35.000 Yeah.

00:58:36.000 That Hampton Inn learned their lesson.

00:58:40.000 You see the sign getting pulled down?

00:58:41.000 Yeah, literally, yeah, literally.

00:58:42.000 Like, it was the changing of the guard.

00:58:43.000 It was like when the British left Hong Kong, and it was really bad.

00:58:46.000 Yeah, this is the left.

00:58:49.000 They don't want Bovino to get his hands on any Zen because you know he would lock in and be like 20 million deported by like by the end of the year.

00:58:56.000 Just immediately get a chad's out.

00:58:57.000 Yeah, literally.

00:58:58.000 So like the left, this is a very tactical play.

00:58:59.000 I would say this is probably their most genius play yet is preventing Bovino from getting his, you know, getting his paws on like a white monster.

00:59:04.000 It'd be so over for every illegal.

00:59:06.000 Like they'd be like, that's right.

00:59:08.000 That's the Gen Z perspective on why they stopped him. 0.85

00:59:10.000 Yeah, that's exactly what's going on.

00:59:12.000 I know Oran's going to be like, oh, like the South in 1860.

00:59:12.000 That's the game.

00:59:15.000 That's not what's going on.

00:59:16.000 We know what's going on.

00:59:18.000 That's absolutely what it is.

00:59:19.000 They're trying to get his mitts off the secret sauce.

00:59:22.000 You know what it was?

00:59:23.000 It's because he wants you ever get those tornadoes at Speedway.

00:59:26.000 Oh, you know, those are all.

00:59:27.000 Yeah, and they got the spicy cheese one.

00:59:30.000 Oh, God.

00:59:30.000 They knew that once he took one bite, it was going to be the John Han meme where he's just like, turn the lights up where that song is.

00:59:37.000 And then they can't, they can't.

00:59:38.000 They feel like in Space Jam, he bites into that roller dog, and then like when they get their Michael's secret sauce and they just load up. 0.99

00:59:44.000 That's what would happen in Borderlands.

00:59:45.000 I gotta imagine the bathroom.

00:59:47.000 I mean, we got Wawa in Florida now, so we don't have to live like that anymore.

00:59:50.000 You know, like we got all the best stuff.

00:59:52.000 We should be aristocratic.

00:59:53.000 There's been some talks on the right, maybe like maybe more like aristocratic things.

00:59:56.000 Maybe we should go for like, yeah, 7-Eleven.

00:59:58.000 Should we boycott Speedway?

00:59:59.000 Wawa Nationalism.

00:59:59.000 Yeah.

01:00:01.000 Should we boycott Wawa?

01:00:02.000 Dude, Wawa is so good.

01:00:04.000 It's Wawa all the time anyway.

01:00:05.000 So it's certainly good for being gas station fields.

01:00:08.000 Yeah, right?

01:00:09.000 Should we boycott Speedway?

01:00:12.000 What was Speedway's?

01:00:12.000 Why not?

01:00:13.000 Gotta boycott something?

01:00:14.000 What was Speedway's recourse?

01:00:15.000 Were they like abetting this?

01:00:17.000 Or was this just people showed up at a speedway and stopped them?

01:00:19.000 No, they just didn't have it.

01:00:20.000 Apparently, the Speedway said you guys have to leave.

01:00:23.000 Well, that's the case.

01:00:24.000 Yo, I mean, it's easy.

01:00:25.000 I don't go there anyway.

01:00:26.000 Boycott.

01:00:27.000 I've been boycotting for years.

01:00:28.000 I knew this would happen.

01:00:29.000 I was already Karm Gen Z. 1.00

01:00:31.000 Hyperstition.

01:00:31.000 Yeah, literally.

01:00:32.000 I was already boycotting.

01:00:33.000 I didn't know.

01:00:34.000 I just sensed it.

01:00:34.000 I was called in the sphere.

01:00:35.000 It's called Killer and I'm a fan of it.

01:00:36.000 I knew they weren't patriots.

01:00:37.000 Yeah, I could just sense it.

01:00:37.000 I could feel it.

01:00:38.000 It's like I have like a patriot detection.

01:00:40.000 I could just smell it when I passed the speedway.

01:00:41.000 I knew it.

01:00:42.000 Yeah, walked in one time.

01:00:43.000 There were no white monsters in the case.

01:00:44.000 I knew it was up.

01:00:45.000 Yeah, sir.

01:00:46.000 We only have three milligrams. 0.99

01:00:47.000 Scumbags, you're boycotted. 0.99

01:00:48.000 I'm looking up who owns Speedway. 0.98

01:00:50.000 I want to see whose stock's taking a hit right now.

01:00:52.000 Probably this one.

01:00:52.000 Owned by 7-Eleven.

01:00:54.000 Really?

01:00:55.000 They're Japanese.

01:00:56.000 Wait, did they want to go again?

01:00:58.000 They want to go again?

01:00:59.000 We got a few more nukes sitting around.

01:01:01.000 A few more.

01:01:02.000 That's an understatement.

01:01:03.000 It was acquired in 21 for 21 billion by 7-Eleven.

01:01:07.000 $21 billion.

01:01:09.000 It's like three tanks of gas in California.

01:01:13.000 And the Japanese bought out 7-Eleven a while ago.

01:01:15.000 Japanese 7-Elevens are something to behold, and they make American 7-Elevens look like outhouses. 1.00

01:01:20.000 That's what really radicalized me: going to a 7-Eleven in Japan and seeing, oh, this is what society is supposed to look like.

01:01:27.000 Yeah, like everyone's floating around.

01:01:29.000 They're immortal.

01:01:30.000 They're bowing to you.

01:01:31.000 Yeah, they have replicators.

01:01:32.000 You can just be like, oh, gray, hot.

01:01:35.000 Does it mean we have to tariff Japan until they bring us their 7-Eleven staff? 0.94

01:01:39.000 Like, sorry, you have to turn it all over.

01:01:41.000 We will never have Japanese 7-Elevens in America. 0.95

01:01:44.000 The thing about Japan is that it's a high-trust society.

01:01:48.000 It's an ethnostate. 0.79

01:01:50.000 It's right.

01:01:51.000 But they started bringing in Indians and African migrants for some reason.

01:01:55.000 Why did they do that?

01:01:57.000 No, because they're now having babies.

01:01:59.000 Right, right.

01:02:01.000 7-Eleven is owned by 7 and I Holdings.

01:02:04.000 It is a Japanese company.

01:02:05.000 It's Japanese.

01:02:06.000 It's a big update.

01:02:06.000 I heard that.

01:02:07.000 Do you know how mad I was when I got to Tokyo and I saw Indian people? 1.00

01:02:11.000 I was like, no!

01:02:13.000 No, it's not like the cartoons.

01:02:15.000 It's like when you show up to Paris now and it's all just in Arabic or my immersion.

01:02:20.000 My immersion.

01:02:21.000 No, you're not so sorry.

01:02:21.000 I think the funniest thing about Japan when I got there was that they don't have like Brad Pitt, you know, like Robert Downey Jr.

01:02:28.000 They have Goku and Lupon III and like Naruto.

01:02:32.000 And like, I see a big billboard cut out of Goku.

01:02:35.000 He's like, at this point, a 40-year-old cartoon character.

01:02:38.000 And I'm like, I guess it's kind of like Mickey Mouse. 0.72

01:02:41.000 But you know what I respect about the Japanese people is that the cartoons we've propped up for generations are retarded. 1.00

01:02:46.000 And the cartoons they pop up are the most brutal.

01:02:49.000 Like they beat the sh out of each other and they're just fighting all the time.

01:02:52.000 You know, I like that.

01:02:53.000 They are obsessed with Snoopy when I was over there.

01:02:55.000 What, really?

01:02:55.000 Oh, they're like glazing him big time.

01:02:57.000 I was like, oh, he is a to be fair, he is a war hero.

01:02:59.000 So, you know, there's something.

01:03:02.000 World War I'm right. 0.99

01:03:03.000 Yeah, he fucked the Red Baron. 0.99

01:03:04.000 Yeah, very impressive. 0.99

01:03:06.000 Mini sorties over, you know, Charlie Bobby.

01:03:08.000 Oh, yeah, the ghost of Kiev.

01:03:09.000 How about Snoopy?

01:03:09.000 Okay, yeah.

01:03:10.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:03:11.000 His KDR was crazy.

01:03:12.000 He was like, killstreaks, UAV, and that sort of thing.

01:03:15.000 I need Sam Hyde as Snoopy as World One Flying East.

01:03:20.000 I guess like Speedway.

01:03:22.000 No, the bigger picture here is that there are roving bands of leftists.

01:03:26.000 Apparently, people were saying that this mob was just following him around screaming for hours.

01:03:32.000 Okay, so probably he went in there, maybe even to get away from these people, and then people followed him in at 7-11.

01:03:37.000 It's like, oh my God, everybody out.

01:03:38.000 Everybody out.

01:03:39.000 Maybe that would happen.

01:03:40.000 I don't know.

01:03:41.000 Well, still.

01:03:42.000 Kick out the agitators, not the victim.

01:03:44.000 Yeah. 0.94

01:03:45.000 Put the agitators in jail.

01:03:47.000 Yeah.

01:03:48.000 We don't want to take sides.

01:03:49.000 And you're like, bro, you have a building in the United States.

01:03:52.000 You've already taken a side.

01:03:53.000 Like, defend the law.

01:03:55.000 It'd be funny.

01:03:55.000 Like, Japan is just like, we don't have anything to do with this.

01:03:57.000 We're out.

01:03:58.000 They sell the company.

01:04:00.000 Japanese.

01:04:01.000 Pearl Harbor is the speedway.

01:04:04.000 I mean, I do appreciate that we occupied Japan for so long that they took on both our sports and like our Western, like, it's the only Japan, like, they have people who are obsessed, like, like weebs in the United States, but with like American Western culture. 0.82

01:04:16.000 Like, they have revolvers and they put on like, yeah, the shooting competitions.

01:04:20.000 You know, they have, I think it's like, what is it, ketchup-fried rice?

01:04:23.000 What is it called?

01:04:24.000 Really?

01:04:24.000 In Thailand?

01:04:25.000 Yeah.

01:04:26.000 Did you guys ever follow Odo Nobunaga?

01:04:29.000 The Japanese.

01:04:29.000 Yeah, ketchup-fried rice.

01:04:31.000 So what happened was when the U.S. troops were stationed there, I think it was World War II, the troops were like, we want hot dogs.

01:04:31.000 Real quick.

01:04:38.000 And they didn't have buns because they had no bread.

01:04:40.000 So they made a bed of rice and put a hot dog on it and ketchup.

01:04:45.000 And so that's how they would eat their hot dogs.

01:04:47.000 We honey boo-booed the system there.

01:04:49.000 And then now I went to Thailand and they were like, we should try the ketchup fried rice.

01:04:53.000 And they were like, it's rice, ketchup, hot dogs, and raisins.

01:04:55.000 And I was like, that's the worst thing I've ever heard.

01:04:58.000 Yeah.

01:04:59.000 They had me until raisins. 0.99

01:04:59.000 They love it. 0.99

01:05:00.000 That's strong food.

01:05:01.000 Oh, apparently it's Japan similarly as well.

01:05:04.000 Well, that's a lot of East Asia, they're like these weird holdovers from World War II where the people are just like obsessed. 0.79

01:05:08.000 Like they have the John Frum cult and like all these Pacific Islands where the GIs would drop like care packages, these random colours. 0.98

01:05:14.000 Oh, yeah, the cargo cults.

01:05:15.000 Yeah, the cargo cults.

01:05:16.000 Yeah.

01:05:17.000 Those are wild.

01:05:18.000 They thought it was God.

01:05:19.000 Like they built plane effigies.

01:05:21.000 Yeah, yeah, to summon it again.

01:05:22.000 Yeah.

01:05:22.000 I mean, how fun would that be to be in one of those?

01:05:25.000 Oh, man.

01:05:26.000 That's how white guys get hyped up.

01:05:28.000 When they're like, Jesus was a guy, I feel like he was bringing the cargo cult.

01:05:31.000 You could just bring the most like random white dude and just like be a king. 0.67

01:05:34.000 Now, what if I told you your cargo cult was the Constitution?

01:05:37.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:05:38.000 Our cargo cult is Amazon.

01:05:40.000 What?

01:05:41.000 That was the bait and switch.

01:05:42.000 That was the mod?

01:05:43.000 No, more that you can't, you're trying to go through the motions to summon it again, but you don't know how it works.

01:05:49.000 So we're going to digital age now.

01:05:50.000 The internet obliterated liberalism, basically, with ideal ideologies and then mass migrations with Facebook groups and all this crap.

01:05:59.000 I don't know what the future government's going to look like.

01:06:01.000 I don't want totalitarian communistic technocracy, which like World Economic Forum and China, where they own the corporation.

01:06:08.000 But I don't want corporatocracy where the corporations are making their own governments.

01:06:12.000 What is your best idea of how it could be better?

01:06:15.000 Well, you're getting what has been called the China convergence because that's actually, it turns out that corporate fascism is the only way to operate government at large scale.

01:06:25.000 So all of your countries, no matter what they're kind of called themselves, are basically slowly merging on this one institution, which is going to be corporate fascism.

01:06:33.000 So I wrote a book on it, Total State, if anybody wants more.

01:06:37.000 So the goal is to be in charge of one of these corporations to be king.

01:06:41.000 Well, I mean, when I say corporate fascism, I mean like the state operating corporations.

01:06:46.000 We're all moving to the China model.

01:06:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:06:48.000 Technically, they're communists, but in actuality, it's just, it's actually just fascism.

01:06:53.000 And that's the only way you can actually manage information.

01:06:55.000 You can handle immigration at scale.

01:06:57.000 You can still have a market economy, but continue to have control over information.

01:07:02.000 But you need to have elections so people think they have an option.

01:07:05.000 And then they never win.

01:07:06.000 Absolutely.

01:07:07.000 And it's just like, but it was a vote, right?

01:07:10.000 Yeah, we have popular sovereignty as our legitimating thing. 0.83

01:07:14.000 So we're going to go through the motions of that kind of stuff.

01:07:16.000 But we're all moving towards that same government system because it's the only thing that works at scale.

01:07:19.000 I don't like that.

01:07:20.000 I wish we would scale down governments, but as long as we're moving towards larger scale governments, this is the only way we're going to get it.

01:07:25.000 And the inverse is true about communism.

01:07:27.000 It works beautifully among 10 people.

01:07:30.000 Right.

01:07:31.000 I did that pause for suspense as I often do.

01:07:33.000 I've started to do that.

01:07:33.000 Yeah, 10 people living on a farm, it's really easy to have a commune.

01:07:38.000 Like the joke I always make is the one guy walks in and he goes, Hey, everybody, my watermelons are ready.

01:07:42.000 I grew watermelons.

01:07:43.000 You want to have some?

01:07:44.000 Yeah, okay.

01:07:45.000 And they share watermelon.

01:07:46.000 It's like, okay.

01:07:47.000 Your payment is the vasopressin that you release when you help people.

01:07:50.000 Yes.

01:07:50.000 One of those vasopressin, it's kind of like oxytocin.

01:07:53.000 I think the reality is when you grow watermelon in your backyard, you grow more than you need.

01:07:53.000 It's a lot of fun.

01:07:57.000 So you go inside and say, hey, who wants to have some watermelon?

01:08:00.000 And then someone else is like, ah, it's messy in here.

01:08:01.000 I'm going to clean up.

01:08:02.000 It's real easy.

01:08:04.000 Or the other argument is that a family is communist, right?

01:08:07.000 The dad's effectively the dictator and he provides and whatever and everyone gets what they need, regardless of the chores.

01:08:13.000 You might get an allowance.

01:08:14.000 At small scale, communism is fantastic.

01:08:16.000 At large scale, it's psychotic.

01:08:17.000 So I agree.

01:08:18.000 Corporate fascism seems like the model, the horrific, would it be like all of our constitution is just out the window?

01:08:26.000 Like no more free speech.

01:08:27.000 If you say the words that our corporation doesn't like, you're banned for every can of a bank account.

01:08:30.000 We'll starve you out.

01:08:31.000 Do you see that as part of this?

01:08:33.000 How is that not what you're under?

01:08:34.000 Yeah, well, no.

01:08:37.000 Let me put it like this.

01:08:38.000 Here's my vision of an AI future.

01:08:42.000 So just a moment ago, you were describing corporate fascism as the structure of governance that works at scale.

01:08:48.000 Nothing else seems to do it.

01:08:49.000 My view of what is currently happening with AI is that human beings are turning from sovereign entities into cells in a multicellular organism, as one who describes it.

01:08:59.000 That is, we are building from a multicellular organism into a multicellular organism system.

01:09:05.000 This system, the AI, will program people to do singular jobs.

01:09:09.000 A person will be born.

01:09:11.000 They will be narrative-fed the idea that the post is the greatest job in the world.

01:09:15.000 And they're going to grow up with other kids being trained to be postal workers.

01:09:18.000 And they're going to feel pride and joy when people celebrate their postal prowess.

01:09:23.000 And then when they're older working the job, they're going to be like, can you believe there's anybody who wants to do any other job?

01:09:28.000 Like, who wants to be in a movie?

01:09:30.000 That's crazy.

01:09:31.000 I got the best job in the world.

01:09:33.000 And so the AI will need us to be like that.

01:09:36.000 Now, what happens in a human body when a cell deviates from its intended function and does something else?

01:09:43.000 Gets killed by the cancer.

01:09:45.000 So in this future system, when you have a corporate machine, so Ian was describing, you don't have no free speech, what'll happen?

01:09:52.000 The nucleus of the corporate corporate corporatist fascistic machine says, are you disruptive or are you negligible?

01:09:52.000 Right.

01:10:01.000 Even right now, we are all chock full of viruses our bodies don't really care about.

01:10:04.000 It's a normal thing, actually.

01:10:06.000 So long as the virus doesn't cause serious damage, your body kind of ignores them.

01:10:11.000 So we get a lot.

01:10:12.000 Some theorize that humans actually evolved because viruses went in the system, changed things, and stayed there and didn't cause enough damage to actually destroy the system and then put some of that RNA into our DNA or whatever it might be.

01:10:22.000 If you, in this system, and this is how it is now, say things that are naughty or not really that disruptive, the system's not going to waste resources on you.

01:10:32.000 But when you cross a certain line, it'll come to destroy you like a cancer cell.

01:10:36.000 And I think that's what this machine is ultimately going to be.

01:10:38.000 Yeah, you definitely have these situations where the entire system is designed to socially engineer people to fill those spots.

01:10:46.000 It's not organic community for the sake of human flourishing.

01:10:49.000 It's community and connection only to the extent which it serves the system, which is why I think Nick Land is one of the most important philosophers working right now.

01:10:57.000 I've had him on my channel several times.

01:10:59.000 But his point is ultimately that AI is going to outlive the need for human beings, that basically we are the sex organs of capital and we are creating autonomous situation or the autonomous systems that are just going to simply use and discard us at the end of the day.

01:11:15.000 And what you feel your goals as a human being doesn't really matter.

01:11:18.000 You're being entirely conditioned for no other reason to serve this accelerating technological progress.

01:11:24.000 You called it the system, and that does sound like how they say the party or the country.

01:11:29.000 Like that's Mussolini.

01:11:30.000 Sure, that was this big fascist thing.

01:11:32.000 I think a religion of the state.

01:11:34.000 The left likes to say that the old world is dying and the new world is struggling to be born.

01:11:37.000 You've heard that before.

01:11:39.000 But the new world is the machine.

01:11:41.000 The machine is desperately trying to make itself.

01:11:45.000 It's going to happen.

01:11:47.000 I think the greatest threat to mankind is AI.

01:11:52.000 I don't mean that to say that humans are going to go extinct.

01:11:56.000 Some actually believe one of the most popular theories is that this will ultimately lead to the end of humanity, but it will fundamentally change us into weird, I don't know, functional retards. 1.00

01:12:06.000 And I don't mean that.

01:12:07.000 I mean that literally, like the AI has no reason for us to be fully fledged functional human beings.

01:12:12.000 It needs us for a rudimentary task.

01:12:14.000 Yeah, it might look like if we evolve a break off homo technus instead of, and then there's Homo sapiens, they'll look at the technus and they'll be like, are they retarded? 1.00

01:12:21.000 Because people are plugged into the machine.

01:12:23.000 They won't need to speak.

01:12:24.000 They'll all be brain monitoring each other. 0.99

01:12:26.000 And they'll look like retarded humans to the humans. 1.00

01:12:29.000 And they'll be like, what is wrong with those? 0.92

01:12:31.000 They'll be doing things.

01:12:32.000 They'll take taking actions that are indecipherable to a human.

01:12:34.000 To a regular human, we see someone go to the grocery store, we get it.

01:12:37.000 We see them walking with their wife and their child.

01:12:39.000 We get it.

01:12:39.000 We see them going to work.

01:12:40.000 We get it.

01:12:40.000 Hailing a taxi cab, riding a bike.

01:12:42.000 The machine is going to need people to do weird things that are incongruous because we can't see the big picture.

01:12:48.000 And so these AI-linked humans, you'll see them like walking on their hands and then falling over.

01:12:54.000 And you're like, what are they doing?

01:12:56.000 You can't perceive the bigger picture of what the AI is calculating and producing.

01:13:00.000 Yeah, it's like seeing you tread on the shoes at a certain angle at a certain time of day. 0.99

01:13:04.000 And everyone knows like, what in the fuck? 0.99

01:13:06.000 The machine wants the data. 0.99

01:13:06.000 It's data. 0.99

01:13:08.000 C.S. Lewis wrote a phenomenal essay called The Abolition of Man back in the 1940s.

01:13:12.000 And basically he said, he predicted that we were going to see the social engineers learn to radically change the underlying parts of human nature.

01:13:21.000 And after they learn to eventually work all of those different elements out of human nature, we will have effectively abolished man because the last generation to have any connection to organic human understanding will be completely gone.

01:13:32.000 That's why it's so critical for us to understand things in states of being and not just systems anymore.

01:13:38.000 We have to struggle back for humanity.

01:13:40.000 We have to fight back against the idea that we can just become these automatons.

01:13:43.000 And the only way to do that is reconnect to actual ways of being rather than abstract understandings of ideologies or systems.

01:13:50.000 And that's really something that requires us to scale down, which is what nobody wants to do.

01:13:54.000 Well, like, what would that look like exactly?

01:13:55.000 It would mean reducing the size of our civilizations to ones in which we can actually interact, where Dunbar's number matters again, where people aren't just digits on a screen or social media interactions, and we can actually build organic understandings of each other.

01:14:09.000 But again, right now, more and more, all of our interactions are entirely abstract.

01:14:14.000 Of course, we saw this, especially after COVID.

01:14:15.000 You just didn't even see human beings, right?

01:14:17.000 Everything was Netflix or screens or whatever.

01:14:20.000 And people are continuing to retreat more and more in this way.

01:14:22.000 Dude, I'm getting, when I look at X, I'm like, fake, probably fake, probably fake.

01:14:26.000 I don't know what to believe.

01:14:27.000 I was asking, I don't know if it was Tate, Serge, somebody.

01:14:29.000 I'm like, what?

01:14:30.000 Or maybe it's Callan was like, the antidote is like just hanging out with people.

01:14:33.000 Yeah, we have to, we have a shattered epistemology.

01:14:36.000 We have no shared understanding of like how to form truth, how to understand the world around us.

01:14:41.000 And the only way to reforge that is seeing each other in real life again, having real experiences, not trying to abstract things, not try to remove things, actually be with people.

01:14:50.000 And this is why the great sort is also so important.

01:14:53.000 It returns us back to the possibility of having shared communities again.

01:14:56.000 I wonder if, you know how you're in a dream state, people say they can't read in dreams, that when you look at the letters, it'll be like, it won't be real.

01:15:04.000 And that's how you know you're in a dream is if the clock looks real.

01:15:06.000 And like that DMT laser experiment shows those weird shapes, like dream letters.

01:15:13.000 When people think they're going to be communicating with real people, they're going to be stuck in the machine thinking it's real.

01:15:18.000 Look for those words. 0.96

01:15:19.000 Look for the little indiscrepancies in the letters and the vowels and shit to realize that you're in the machine and then squeeze your eyes really tight until it hurts. 0.99

01:15:27.000 And that pain will wake you up. 0.96

01:15:29.000 You can do it in actual dreams too.

01:15:30.000 If you're ever in a nightmare and you want out, close your eyes as tight as you can in a nightmare.

01:15:34.000 And as soon as it starts to hurt, you'll realize you're awake.

01:15:39.000 Yeah.

01:15:41.000 C.S. Lewis.

01:15:42.000 It's alarmingly accurate. 1.00

01:15:43.000 Yes.

01:15:44.000 Alarmingly accurate.

01:15:45.000 I had the craziest dream the other night.

01:15:47.000 Kid you not.

01:15:48.000 I had a dream that I was talking to someone about Green Day, the band, and how I love that song.

01:15:54.000 What is it? 0.83

01:15:56.000 Blood, sex, and booze.

01:15:58.000 You know that one?

01:15:59.000 And then in my dream, I pulled up Spotify and it wouldn't come up.

01:16:02.000 And then I was like, where's the song?

01:16:04.000 And then I googled it and it didn't come up.

01:16:06.000 And then I was like, desperately telling people, like, this song is real.

01:16:09.000 I swear to God, I started singing it.

01:16:10.000 And they're like, I don't know what song that is.

01:16:12.000 And I was like, hold on.

01:16:13.000 And then no matter how many websites I searched, the song didn't exist.

01:16:17.000 And I woke up and I was like, why was I dreaming about that song from the year 2000?

01:16:21.000 That's so weird.

01:16:22.000 I like that song.

01:16:23.000 And then I looked it up and there it was.

01:16:24.000 Yeah.

01:16:25.000 I love sexuality.

01:16:27.000 That's a weird dream.

01:16:28.000 That's like forgetting my lines before a play.

01:16:30.000 That was like my stress.

01:16:31.000 That's like a version of a stress dream where like you, you lose the information.

01:16:34.000 I haven't heard that song in 20 years.

01:16:37.000 It's a weird dream.

01:16:38.000 I was just, I just saw some Green Day a couple days ago.

01:16:40.000 I wonder if it was the day you had a dream.

01:16:42.000 You know what dreams are?

01:16:44.000 I can't know.

01:16:45.000 You're seeing other dimensions.

01:16:46.000 Okay.

01:16:47.000 If the multiverse is real, we are not imagining stories.

01:16:50.000 We're seeing into other realities.

01:16:54.000 A lucid dream.

01:16:56.000 When you realize you're in a dream, you start to, you think words instead of say them because your body's obviously can't move.

01:17:01.000 You think whatever you want.

01:17:03.000 He walks, Donald Trump walks in the room and then it happens.

01:17:06.000 So I wonder if you're controlling other realities with your lucidity.

01:17:11.000 The multiverse exists and every possible universe exists.

01:17:15.000 We are not imagining and creating ideas.

01:17:18.000 Energy can't be created or destroyed only changed.

01:17:21.000 We are perceiving existing realities and writing them down.

01:17:24.000 That means there's a universe where there's a Spider-Man.

01:17:28.000 I mean, that's actually true.

01:17:29.000 If the universe that we exist in is eternal, eventually, no matter how remote the possibilities are, whatever will happen.

01:17:38.000 But again, if energy cannot be created, then what is the system in our minds that imagines a Batman?

01:17:44.000 Yeah, it's like a transmutation.

01:17:47.000 It's putting energy internally, which is twisting helixing back out and then coming back into the black hole that we're in.

01:17:53.000 So you are, I think that's how you're creating externality.

01:17:55.000 Yeah, I'm saying Batman's real.

01:17:57.000 Yeah, I'm agreeing with you.

01:17:58.000 Yeah.

01:17:58.000 Somebody created it.

01:18:00.000 No, they didn't.

01:18:01.000 They saw it.

01:18:02.000 Bob Kane peered into the other universe.

01:18:04.000 Yeah, have you seen where the singularity?

01:18:06.000 Well, what happened was he was working with a scientist who invented a machine that allowed him to rip open the time-space continuum, and his daughter's pinky got stuck.

01:18:16.000 And when it closed, it cut her pinky off. 1.00

01:18:18.000 I'm glad we're all going to Bioshock.

01:18:19.000 I was literally just going to say, so you discovered the music through a tear in reality.

01:18:24.000 We were just going to get into that.

01:18:25.000 And then for those that don't know, basically, because she exists in multiple realities, she can pull open Tears in the Space-Time Continuum. 0.51

01:18:31.000 Fun game.

01:18:32.000 Not as good because they got rid of the injections, the plasmids with a soda pop.

01:18:37.000 That's woke.

01:18:37.000 OG Bioshock.

01:18:38.000 I know.

01:18:38.000 Seriously.

01:18:39.000 Sure, woke nonsense.

01:18:40.000 You should play it, though.

01:18:41.000 I don't even know what it is.

01:18:41.000 You should play it.

01:18:42.000 Bioshock Infinite is basically.

01:18:43.000 So it's a fun game.

01:18:46.000 Check it out.

01:18:46.000 Bioshock is one of the greatest pieces of human art ever created.

01:18:51.000 For those that haven't played it, it's an old game, but you must.

01:18:54.000 It basically, it's a game built on the theme of like Atlas shrugged.

01:18:59.000 And a bunch of rich people build a city underground because, or I'm sorry, underwater, because they're like, you know, we're going to go do whatever we want.

01:19:07.000 And then, because there's lax rules and anybody can just do what the market wants, they start genetically splicing themselves, which collapses society because everyone's all messed up.

01:19:14.000 And then you get there and you're like, I can inject myself, and then you can like throw fireballs or whatever weird stuff happens.

01:19:18.000 It's pretty cool.

01:19:19.000 In Bajak Infinite, the theme is American exceptionalism.

01:19:23.000 So you're in an alternate reality where there's flying cities.

01:19:26.000 And when they invented these flying cities, they went over and shut down the Boxer Rebellion and just bombed the crap out of China. 0.98

01:19:31.000 I recommend it.

01:19:32.000 It's a fun game.

01:19:33.000 It's an interesting take on.

01:19:34.000 I mean, Ken Levine really hates America and white people, so you get that too.

01:19:39.000 Yeah, they're pretty fun games.

01:19:40.000 Is he the developer?

01:19:41.000 Yeah, he was the original.

01:19:42.000 Bioshock, the first one. 0.96

01:19:43.000 The first one's a masterpiece.

01:19:45.000 My masterpiece loves it.

01:19:46.000 You fight the Atlas.

01:19:47.000 Literally the final boss's Atlas.

01:19:49.000 Dude, it's the Atlas from the cover of the book.

01:19:51.000 Shout out to Blur in the YouTube chat with a Bioshock Normie slop comment. 0.92

01:19:56.000 That was for you, I think, Tate.

01:19:57.000 Bioshock Normie Slop. 0.70

01:19:58.000 I love Normie Slop.

01:19:59.000 And that's why I would say all the time, would you kindly smash the like button?

01:20:02.000 That's so true.

01:20:04.000 You know what's happening?

01:20:06.000 Yeah, the reference is the character is compelled to take any action when the person says I mean the game's what 26 seconds full. 0.54

01:20:13.000 I can't believe that the frick.

01:20:14.000 When the guy, whenever he prefaces his request with, would you kindly, he's compelled to take the action. 0.87

01:20:19.000 Freaking wild.

01:20:20.000 Awesome game.

01:20:21.000 It's not even that hard either.

01:20:23.000 The second one's actually pretty good, too.

01:20:26.000 I started it and didn't get into it.

01:20:27.000 It's not it's actually pretty good.

01:20:29.000 I try to play Bioshock in the hardest difficulties.

01:20:31.000 I'm like, I want to play the best game on the hardest difficulty.

01:20:33.000 I couldn't even beat the first level.

01:20:35.000 It's scaling back.

01:20:36.000 But sorry, you were going to ask.

01:20:38.000 Yeah, it's free.

01:20:40.000 You were going to ask Orn a badass question.

01:20:40.000 That's it much better.

01:20:42.000 No, no, no.

01:20:43.000 I was just sawing out because you mentioned the abolition of man.

01:20:45.000 The only thing else that's crazy in there is how he literally predicts gene editing.

01:20:50.000 The abolition of man is one of the best sci-fi books ever written.

01:20:53.000 Everyone's like, oh, it's 1984.

01:20:54.000 No, it's Brave New World.

01:20:55.000 No, it's The Abolition or That Hideous Strength.

01:21:00.000 It literally outlines how the elite are going to engage in gene editing and embryo modification.

01:21:05.000 He literally discusses transgenderism as we see it.

01:21:08.000 The best thing, so he wrote the essay and then he novelized it into a sci-fi book called That Hideous Strength.

01:21:14.000 And that hideous strength is one of the most prophetic things you've ever seen because it's all about how these small deaths, like if everyone betrays people because they lie, the media is lying, the academics are lying.

01:21:14.000 Yeah.

01:21:26.000 It just shows you that the totalitarianism doesn't come necessarily just because of Jack Boots and Hitler and Stalin and all this stuff.

01:21:33.000 It comes from the small tyranny of weak men.

01:21:36.000 And that's the beauty of that hideous strength.

01:21:38.000 It's not this macro story of a deep fascistic government.

01:21:41.000 It's the way in which these small violations of God and nature's law ultimately bring you to this weakened state and create the situation we're in right now.

01:21:51.000 I have no choice but to jump to this next story.

01:21:53.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:21:54.000 This is from The Guardian, breaking.

01:21:57.000 Colin Hay strenuously disapproves use of Down Under at March for Australia rallies.

01:22:03.000 Former men at work frontman who was born in Scotland, Scotland, and emigrated to Australia tells anti-immigration protesters, go write your own song, Leave Mine Alone.

01:22:12.000 So March for Australia was, what is it, August and October.

01:22:17.000 They aimed to protest discontent towards perceived mass immigration in Australia.

01:22:20.000 Apparently they played Down Under.

01:22:23.000 And they say in a post on Facebook and Instagram accounts, the singer-songwriter singled out anti-immigration groups, March for Australia.

01:22:28.000 Our national identity, under the slogan, our national identity will not be erased.

01:22:33.000 I most strenuously disapprove of any unauthorized, unlicensed use of Down Under for any March for Australia events.

01:22:39.000 Down Under, a song I co-wrote, does not belong to those who attempt to sow xenophobia within the fabric of our great land, our great people.

01:22:46.000 Down under is ultimately a song of celebration.

01:22:48.000 It's for pluralism and inclusion, unity, not division.

01:22:52.000 I got to be honest.

01:22:53.000 The song's actually super racist.

01:22:55.000 Yeah, literally.

01:22:56.000 I'm not even kidding.

01:22:57.000 And I love Men at Work.

01:22:58.000 They are the greatest band of this or any generation in the 80s with the greatest decade in the history of humanity.

01:23:04.000 So I'm a huge fan of Colin Hay.

01:23:06.000 But I actually think, let me pull the lyrics up.

01:23:10.000 You know, I'm surprised they didn't cancel him.

01:23:14.000 Have you heard any of his solo work?

01:23:16.000 Because it's actually really good.

01:23:16.000 Like, Overkill is an amazing song.

01:23:18.000 Oh, bro, of course.

01:23:19.000 But that was men at work.

01:23:20.000 No, did they do that one?

01:23:22.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

01:23:23.000 Of course.

01:23:26.000 Let me just show you the lyrics to this song.

01:23:28.000 Traveling in a Fried Out combie on a hippie trailhead full of zombies.

01:23:31.000 I met a strange lady. 0.89

01:23:32.000 She made me nervous.

01:23:33.000 It's not so bad.

01:23:33.000 Blah, blah, blah.

01:23:34.000 Went to Brussels, there's a guy.

01:23:36.000 But the last verse is dead in Bombay with a slack jaw. 0.95

01:23:39.000 Are you trying to tempt me because I come from the land of plenty?

01:23:41.000 I mean, clearly there's xenophobia in there talking about the other cultures that are trying to take from his.

01:23:46.000 Let me just stress this again.

01:23:48.000 Are you trying to tempt me because I come from the land of plenty?

01:23:50.000 Basically, in a dead end Bombay, someone's trying to tempt him because his country is more, you know, I'm half kidding, but come on. 1.00

01:23:58.000 Let's not play stupid games. 1.00

01:23:59.000 If you want to play stupid games, you'll play stupid games. 1.00

01:24:00.000 It's literally like when Libtards, like when the Venezuela invasion was going on and it was super based, and we were using Fortune at Sign and all the edits, and they're like, oh, that's actually like a bass anti-war song. 1.00

01:24:08.000 I'm like, no, it means black baggy Maduro now.

01:24:10.000 And for the same reason, sorry, Land Down Under means like getting him out now.

01:24:15.000 Death of the author, we own this now.

01:24:16.000 Do you come from a land down under where women glow and men plunder? 1.00

01:24:21.000 Right.

01:24:21.000 And also Chunder.

01:24:23.000 Where beer does flow and men chunder. 1.00

01:24:23.000 That second verse. 1.00

01:24:25.000 Which, interestingly, do you know what Chunder means?

01:24:28.000 Do Richie Jackson enlightened me too, and I guess.

01:24:30.000 Chunder means to vomit.

01:24:30.000 I believe.

01:24:32.000 And the lore apparently is that on the boats, they would yell, watch under, because if somebody was on the lower decks looking out a window or whatever and someone barfed, they'd say, watch under, you're going to get barfed on.

01:24:42.000 And so they would hear chunder.

01:24:43.000 You know what else I learned about pirates?

01:24:45.000 The reason they wore eye patches?

01:24:46.000 Not because they were blind.

01:24:47.000 It's because above deck, it was so bright that when they would go under deck, they'd move the patch over and they could see.

01:24:53.000 Yep.

01:24:53.000 Well, look at that line right there.

01:24:54.000 Do you speak a my language?

01:24:55.000 Because he's harkening up to the original founding ethos of Australia, which is the strong Anglo-society. 0.68

01:25:00.000 He's saying English is my language.

01:25:02.000 Australia is just an extension of England. 0.90

01:25:03.000 And he's calling for like total Anglo-supremacy, which honestly is kind of pushing it for me, Colin.

01:25:07.000 It's a little crazy.

01:25:08.000 Colin is like totally out of line here.

01:25:11.000 I think the March for Australia, they shouldn't use the song because he's a far-right extremist.

01:25:15.000 That's true.

01:25:16.000 I mean, it makes them look like Nazis, to be honest.

01:25:19.000 It's really disturbing.

01:25:21.000 Do you speak a my language?

01:25:22.000 That's so racist. 0.96

01:25:24.000 Oh, my God.

01:25:25.000 I'm offended.

01:25:25.000 Nazi does.

01:25:26.000 That's what I liked about it, though. 0.79

01:25:27.000 Unbelievable.

01:25:28.000 No, yeah.

01:25:29.000 Again, Ret Connant, like an Unfortunate Son, though, is actually the base invasion neocon song now. 0.56

01:25:33.000 Same thing.

01:25:34.000 Men Down Under, Land Down Under is now the Patriot March in Australia.

01:25:38.000 And the March for Australia is coming up.

01:25:40.000 It's like next week, I think.

01:25:41.000 I am not kidding when I say that Men at Work are amazing.

01:25:45.000 Amazing music, really great stuff.

01:25:47.000 I mean, Overkill is just one of the best songs on the world.

01:25:49.000 Robain did a great cover of it.

01:25:51.000 Yeah, and Down Under, of course, is a legendary song.

01:25:54.000 But, you know, in all seriousness, I don't really think it's a racist song, but it is from the perspective of white Australians and Scottish going to other places and treating these people like others and referring to your land as the land of plenty.

01:26:05.000 So listen, the people in Australia love the message you made, and it resonates with them about the land where women glow and men plunder and how it's a land of plenty and they don't want to give it away.

01:26:17.000 You know what I, what I don't like is that people who, the generations before us, created a world and inspired a generation who then turn around and espouse these ideals and get yelled at for it.

01:26:28.000 And a good example, with respect, Graham Linehan, who was a good dude, and we had him on the show, and he's based, but he wasn't always. 0.95

01:26:36.000 And when Count Dankula got arrested for teaching his pug to do that stupid Roman salute, it's actually really funny, but to do, the intention was to make the cutest little thing a pug do something repugnant. 0.90

01:26:49.000 And he got arrested for it. 0.99

01:26:50.000 Graham Linehan said that he thought that Count Dankula was just a white supremacist who did something offensive and should go to jail for it.

01:27:01.000 What's really sad is that Father Ted, the show that Graham had written, had a bit where some Asians were coming to the church and Father Ted, there was a scuff on the window that was like a little black square.

01:27:14.000 And so he couldn't get it off.

01:27:16.000 And when the people, the Asians are walking towards the church, one of them goes, he's not a fascist, calm down.

01:27:22.000 And they look up in the window and they see him waving and he's going like this.

01:27:25.000 And you can see the mark over his mouth or whatever.

01:27:30.000 And then they're like, oh, okay.

01:27:31.000 And they turn around.

01:27:32.000 And then he goes, what?

01:27:33.000 They're leaving.

01:27:34.000 Where are they going?

01:27:35.000 Why are they leaving?

01:27:36.000 And then they look in the window and you see him going, that's a Nazi joke. 0.70

01:27:41.000 And what's sad about it is that Count Dankula was probably inspired by this kind of humor.

01:27:47.000 Growing up watching this kind of comedy or South Park or whatever show he may have been watching.

01:27:50.000 So he's like, I'm going to do a joke too.

01:27:52.000 And then Graham Lineham himself, who wrote these jokes, is now cheering for him going to jail for it.

01:27:58.000 That's what I see with South List.

01:27:59.000 Now, with all respect to Graham, he apologizes like, I was wrong.

01:28:02.000 I didn't even know.

01:28:03.000 I didn't realize they were lying to me.

01:28:04.000 This is what I see with this.

01:28:06.000 A story about what it means to be Australian.

01:28:08.000 And it's not overtly racist, but they're literally talking about this experience of being Australian.

01:28:13.000 And it's inspired by him being in Australia and how he talks about his country.

01:28:17.000 And there is a generation, several generations that heard this song, believe in it and love Australia.

01:28:22.000 And now you have mass immigration coming in, changing the culture and face of this country. 1.00

01:28:26.000 And he's yelling at them.

01:28:28.000 Yeah.

01:28:29.000 Like these, these, it was like funny to, I don't know, funny to be like racist in a, in like a colloquial, genial way with your friends in the 80s and the night, before the internet.

01:28:40.000 After the internet, not only are people getting bombarded with influxes of migration, it's the shaming coming from whatever, the machine itself or people denying you revenue because you said the bad words.

01:28:53.000 So now all of a sudden it's not, you can't just get away with like, it was kind of normal, like you'd invite your friend over, you'd make fun of each other, and then you move on.

01:29:01.000 And now it's like you get humiliated for doing it.

01:29:04.000 I feel like it's an op, like it's a foreign op to disrupt the American way. 1.00

01:29:08.000 Ian, those cultural differences, it used to be an ocean away and now it's like next door to you.

01:29:12.000 So that's why it became like suddenly like, oh, this is actually like an existential threat.

01:29:16.000 I mean, I think we all remember Colin Hayes' song, you know, glorifying Rhodesia. 0.77

01:29:20.000 And so, you know, when you have one like that, I think people are going to take cues.

01:29:24.000 I think that's reasonable.

01:29:25.000 Yeah, for real.

01:29:26.000 I like they talked about the slackjaw Indian dude in Bombay, probably on opium. 1.00

01:29:29.000 And he's like, what are you trying to tempt me with?

01:29:31.000 He's lying in a den.

01:29:32.000 He's like, I'm money.

01:29:33.000 Exactly.

01:29:34.000 Like, that, you know, I'm half joking.

01:29:37.000 I say it's racist, but that perception of these people, that's what they're complaining about in Australia right now that you're mad about for them using your song.

01:29:45.000 And he, you know, Calvin referred to it as xenophobic.

01:29:48.000 It's not xenophobic to want closed borders.

01:29:50.000 It has nothing to do with fear of others.

01:29:52.000 It's about overwhelming your system.

01:29:54.000 You can't do it.

01:29:55.000 You love loving your neighbors.

01:29:57.000 The point of whether it be xenophobic, racist, the point of those accusations is not that they believe it.

01:29:57.000 Sure.

01:30:05.000 It's to scare people into behaving a certain way.

01:30:08.000 They don't care if you actually are xenophobic or not.

01:30:12.000 They don't care if you're actually racist.

01:30:14.000 There are plenty of people who say things.

01:30:16.000 They've burned it out.

01:30:17.000 And that's why Nick Fuentes doesn't care to tweet Team Hitler.

01:30:21.000 He's like, I don't care.

01:30:22.000 You've burned out the insult or the tactic.

01:30:26.000 And also xenophobic.

01:30:27.000 I'm not afraid of xenos.

01:30:29.000 I don't even know what a xeno is.

01:30:30.000 I just want the migrants out. 1.00

01:30:32.000 I think those are the bad guys from Super Metroid.

01:30:34.000 I was going to say, we have to, yeah, we have to.

01:30:36.000 Is that the etymology from Super Metroid?

01:30:39.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:30:39.000 From the Greek or Super Metroid.

01:30:41.000 One of the two.

01:30:42.000 Xeno meaning other? 0.54

01:30:44.000 Is that what it is?

01:30:44.000 I'm not sure.

01:30:47.000 Petrified of others.

01:30:49.000 Scary.

01:30:50.000 You are.

01:30:50.000 So you're not a xenophile.

01:30:52.000 I thought maybe you would be.

01:30:53.000 Well, you know, it depends.

01:30:55.000 Do you love the unknown?

01:30:57.000 I guess the Metroids are the bad guys in the Metroids.

01:31:00.000 Xeno Morris or alien.

01:31:01.000 Oh, Xeno Morph.

01:31:02.000 Alien, not Metro.

01:31:02.000 There you go.

01:31:03.000 Xeno Morph.

01:31:04.000 But of course they're ripping off aliens, so it's six and one half dozen the other.

01:31:04.000 Mother Bane alien.

01:31:08.000 Oh, okay.

01:31:09.000 I'm a big fan of Xenos just in general, but too many of them, you know.

01:31:13.000 Yeah, destroy any system.

01:31:14.000 A little Xeno goes a long way.

01:31:16.000 I'm kind of Xeno'd out at this point, actually.

01:31:18.000 You get one face hugger and it ruins the party.

01:31:21.000 That's a good way to put it.

01:31:22.000 And then the guy doesn't speak English.

01:31:23.000 Space Pirates.

01:31:25.000 Those are the bad guys.

01:31:26.000 Ridley.

01:31:26.000 Mother Brain.

01:31:27.000 Well, Ridley's the big vulture looking. 0.95

01:31:29.000 Yeah.

01:31:30.000 Oh, yeah, Ridley.

01:31:31.000 And the X Parasites.

01:31:33.000 Who are those other two dudes that got to fight?

01:31:35.000 The guy with the quills?

01:31:36.000 And then Ridley's.

01:31:36.000 I don't know.

01:31:37.000 Oh, the birds.

01:31:38.000 Oh, Raven Beach.

01:31:39.000 And this is who's coming into Australia. 0.98

01:31:40.000 No wonder they're terrified.

01:31:41.000 Yeah.

01:31:42.000 I mean, geez.

01:31:43.000 They're importing supervisors.

01:31:45.000 Can we at least get the sweet Samus armor out of this?

01:31:48.000 Yeah, that could be a good cultural exchange.

01:31:49.000 Can you upgrade that?

01:31:50.000 The game?

01:31:51.000 I mean, the reveal at the end is she's a hot chicken in bikini in the first one, so that makes sense for us.

01:31:55.000 No, no, no, did you hear she's trans.

01:31:57.000 Oh, because 2026.

01:32:00.000 What happened was when all the trans vestigations were going viral, people were like, think about it. 0.73

01:32:06.000 Samus is six foot three, weighing 200 pounds.

01:32:09.000 Like, that's how Samus is described.

01:32:11.000 And then takes off the helmet, and it looks like a woman. 1.00

01:32:14.000 Trans woman.

01:32:15.000 Or WNBA player.

01:32:16.000 Yeah.

01:32:17.000 If you want to play as the hot trans woman, type in Justin Bailey as the password when you play Metroid 1 and you'll get to play as her, him, her, whatever you want.

01:32:25.000 With no suit on?

01:32:26.000 Yeah.

01:32:27.000 But does she like roll into a ball and somersault around? 0.99

01:32:29.000 She's got pointy knees compared to Samus. 1.00

01:32:29.000 She's got weird. 1.00

01:32:33.000 Ian loves pointy knees.

01:32:37.000 Some good knees?

01:32:38.000 Dude, fire knees, dude. 1.00

01:32:40.000 Like, watch out.

01:32:41.000 Andrew Tate.

01:32:43.000 Did they make a game where you actually play as Samus, the Zero Suit Samus?

01:32:46.000 I only ever played Metroid Zero Smooth.

01:32:49.000 Yeah.

01:32:49.000 Super Super Metro is in Smash Brothers.

01:32:51.000 I just know Samus from Smash Brothers.

01:32:52.000 Yeah.

01:32:53.000 Yeah, that's her. 0.60

01:32:53.000 Yeah. 0.60

01:32:54.000 There you go.

01:32:55.000 And then they were like, it's funny because they were like, Samus is trans.

01:32:57.000 And I'm like, have you played Smash Brothers?

01:32:59.000 Samus is.

01:33:00.000 There's a woman.

01:33:01.000 Zero Suit Samus isn't armor.

01:33:03.000 just it's a good yeah it's her in just the it's the suit she puts on before that right yeah Oh, that's Justin Bailey gets you the Zero suit.

01:33:10.000 Right.

01:33:10.000 That's probably what that is.

01:33:10.000 Smash Brothers.

01:33:11.000 Zero suit.

01:33:12.000 They were like, how do we say Samus no suit on?

01:33:14.000 Zero suit? 0.99

01:33:15.000 Like, that's a dumb name. 0.98

01:33:17.000 Work harder, be more creative. 0.99

01:33:19.000 Zero suit.

01:33:20.000 No suit.

01:33:22.000 Remember back in the day, do you guys remember Nesticle?

01:33:25.000 Yes.

01:33:26.000 Yeah.

01:33:26.000 I had it.

01:33:27.000 It was an emulator for NES.

01:33:28.000 Oh, yeah.

01:33:29.000 Wait, I'm not sure.

01:33:29.000 Nesticle.

01:33:30.000 Yeah, and G-Nest.

01:33:31.000 And you could go in and edit NES game sprites, and people were making all sorts of different kinds of Mario games.

01:33:39.000 It was hilarious.

01:33:40.000 I didn't know you could do that on Nesticle.

01:33:41.000 Released in 1997.

01:33:43.000 Which one?

01:33:43.000 Nesticle?

01:33:44.000 Yeah, Nesticle.

01:33:44.000 It was such a must-download for a smartphone.

01:33:47.000 Bro, I had the wildest Game Boy emulator.

01:33:51.000 Like, when emulators were first coming out, it was like a DOS program, and it was really hard to operate.

01:33:57.000 You'd get an adapter, like plug the game into the back of your computer, and I never forget how to get it to work.

01:34:01.000 What system?

01:34:02.000 What do you mean?

01:34:03.000 Game Boy.

01:34:03.000 Oh, it was a Game Boy.

01:34:05.000 You put it in a Game Boy.

01:34:06.000 Interesting.

01:34:06.000 No, the Game Boy for your PC.

01:34:08.000 If you wanted to run Game Boy games, the first emulators were just bonkers weird.

01:34:12.000 Nowadays, every game is on the web.

01:34:14.000 Like, legit.

01:34:15.000 You can go to a website and they have every single NES Game Boy game.

01:34:18.000 Just play them.

01:34:18.000 Nice.

01:34:20.000 Dangerous European embedded. 1.00

01:34:21.000 That was the arcade emulator.

01:34:22.000 Dude, we already went over this in the past year where I was programming video games in real time during the show.

01:34:28.000 I made a video game called Alien Invaders, where it's basically like a bunch of, like, the graphics are rudimentary, so they're little rectangles come down and they try to invade your space.

01:34:41.000 And you play this little triangle, this little white triangle, as the little brown rectangles try to get into your planet. 0.98

01:34:49.000 It's called Alien Invaders, and you have to stop them.

01:34:52.000 Weren't you guys building like a big game?

01:34:54.000 Remember, you play testing at some point when I was here.

01:34:56.000 I forget.

01:34:56.000 Tim, for that game, you gotta have 8-bit down under is like the dum-dum-dum.

01:35:03.000 Chip-tune that?

01:35:04.000 Yeah, that'd be fantastic.

01:35:05.000 We do have a video game.

01:35:06.000 It's called Normie Quest, and it was like...

01:35:08.000 There was one version that was done that my brother had programmed that was basically a King of the Hill-style game based on the Freedom Tunes animations.

01:35:08.000 That's it.

01:35:15.000 And then we had a functional version of a procedurally generated near-infinite game.

01:35:20.000 The game was you play Normie.

01:35:23.000 And he works.

01:35:24.000 He's a construction worker.

01:35:25.000 He's at the top of a skyscraper doing work when all of a sudden his phone goes bramp and he looks down and it says breaking.

01:35:30.000 Oh, no, no, I'm sorry.

01:35:31.000 His phone goes bramp and it says reminder 2 p.m. Lil Timmy's baseball game Little League game.

01:35:36.000 And he's like, well, I can't miss that.

01:35:38.000 And then his phone goes bramp again.

01:35:39.000 He looks at it and it says breaking unarmed black men killed by police.

01:35:43.000 And he goes, no, my God.

01:35:44.000 And he runs to the edge of the skyscraper and he looks down and there's like 15 million Antifa just rampaging and riding in the city.

01:35:51.000 And then he's like, I can't miss my son's Little League game.

01:35:54.000 And when he turns around, the elevator opens up and a bunch of Antifa jump out. 0.97

01:35:57.000 And he's like, oh, no, it's Antifa.

01:35:59.000 But then one of them starts going and sparks flat and their head falls off and they're robots.

01:36:04.000 And he goes, oh, thank God they're robots.

01:36:06.000 Now I can be violent.

01:36:07.000 And then he punches in case of Antifa break glass, grabs a random weapon, proceed, you know, randomly generated.

01:36:13.000 And the point of the game is to make your way down the skyscraper and exit the building, fighting through Antifa and other, you know, whack-aloons to make it to your son's Little League game.

01:36:21.000 That actually sounds wonderful.

01:36:22.000 Yeah, it was most, the structure was largely done.

01:36:25.000 We had a bunch of items and upgrades and then and the people working on it just stopped working on it and then it just never went anywhere.

01:36:31.000 What was that the Japanese game where you have to fight like just tons of people just horde like comically large hordes of people? 0.98

01:36:37.000 I'm trying to remember there's a specific genre.

01:36:40.000 It's like the kingdom games or something.

01:36:42.000 Oh, right, No, like, no, you're like, you're these Japanese people. 1.00

01:36:46.000 Yeah, yeah, you're everyone since you call up as a knock around just thousands of people at once.

01:36:51.000 There was a there was Dynasty Warsaw.

01:36:53.000 That would be a great Antifa game.

01:36:55.000 You just have to do it.

01:36:57.000 Just thousands and thousands of like fat purple-haired, you know, minions running at you and you're just knocking them around with your Patriot shield or something. 0.98

01:37:05.000 Like an American flag.

01:37:06.000 Exactly.

01:37:07.000 Yeah, with base flag.

01:37:08.000 Stickman, you remember that guy?

01:37:10.000 Just have him clearing out just lines of Antifa.

01:37:13.000 You can summon your proud boys to like, you know, come in.

01:37:16.000 The boss is just a Kia coming through. 0.99

01:37:18.000 Or you could play as an Antifa and do the same thing.

01:37:22.000 And that way you double your sales.

01:37:23.000 I would never play that.

01:37:24.000 Yeah, right.

01:37:25.000 I come in at midnight.

01:37:26.000 I'd see you, I'd be like, are you? 0.99

01:37:28.000 You'd be like, oh shit, no, no, come on. 1.00

01:37:29.000 No, it's porn. 1.00

01:37:30.000 I swear.

01:37:32.000 Orin, since you're here and you're like one of the smartest people, what do you think is the most important thing to tell everybody?

01:37:39.000 What's the most...

01:37:40.000 You're going to have to give me a slightly narrower feeling.

01:37:42.000 What about the book about corporate fascism or just the future of humanity, like how people can do better and preserve?

01:37:49.000 Sure.

01:37:50.000 Yeah.

01:37:51.000 Neck that down a little bit.

01:37:51.000 Thanks.

01:37:51.000 Yeah.

01:37:52.000 No, I think the big thing is we're looking at post-human politics.

01:37:57.000 Like we're looking at politics that are run almost entirely in systems and entirely disconnected from human needs and human understandings.

01:38:05.000 And when you have that, you start to see these agendas and these kind of like collective consciousness moving through your political system, but you don't understand why.

01:38:15.000 Like you don't grasp at these machines, these abstract entities.

01:38:19.000 They're driving you more than you're driving them.

01:38:22.000 And so I think the key thing that people need to start, like we talked about, people need to find ways to ground themselves back into human interaction reality.

01:38:31.000 Because I think politics is only going to get more crazy.

01:38:33.000 It's only going to get more abstract.

01:38:34.000 It's only going to become less human.

01:38:36.000 And you need to find ways to remind yourself that actually you're doing this to interact with human beings, that that's what the world's about, that that's what your life is about.

01:38:43.000 That's what your relationship with God is about.

01:38:45.000 I think that's what people have to prioritize.

01:38:48.000 Thanks, dude.

01:38:49.000 I was thinking about having kids while you were talking about that.

01:38:52.000 That would certainly be a great way to ground yourself.

01:38:54.000 There's nothing that's going to snap you into reality quicker than that.

01:38:57.000 Yep.

01:38:58.000 I love you, Phil.

01:38:59.000 You're a great idea.

01:39:00.000 I just had a kid, so, you know, your bias is showing.

01:39:05.000 All right, we're going to go to your Rumble rants and super chats.

01:39:33.000 Desserts, late nights, skipped workouts.

01:39:35.000 But now that we're in the new year, it's time to reset.

01:39:37.000 Let's get a new year's resolution going the one that actually works and gives your body what it needs.

01:39:41.000 It's a perfect time for Cove Pure.

01:39:42.000 Here's the thing: everyone jumps in the new year buying new supplements, trying a new diet or workouts, but they completely ignore the most important basic thing: water.

01:39:49.000 Even mild dehydration impacts energy, focus, and metabolism.

01:39:53.000 And one thing I found is that when I'm feeling sluggish, I'm wondering, like, did I not get vitamins?

01:39:59.000 It's literally just water.

01:40:00.000 It's usually water.

01:40:01.000 I'll drink a cup of water and then I feel great.

01:40:04.000 Cove Pure changes this.

01:40:06.000 When you think about all the garbage in the water, you're starting to start behind the curve before you even begin.

01:40:11.000 Co-Pure changes that their clear wave technology is certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants.

01:40:17.000 Pretty much anything that isn't water, PFAs, microplastics, pharmaceutical residue, fluoride.

01:40:22.000 All gets removed.

01:40:23.000 It's the purest water you can get.

01:40:25.000 Let you choose a temperature of your water, hot, cold, or warm.

01:40:27.000 It has size presets, making it easy to remember to drink enough water.

01:40:30.000 It makes your water taste so good.

01:40:32.000 Easy setup.

01:40:33.000 No insulation needed.

01:40:34.000 Perfect for renters.

01:40:35.000 And it looks super sleek and nice.

01:40:36.000 Copier makes it easy to get pure water with the push of a button.

01:40:40.000 So this year, make a news resolution that sticks, improve your health with clean water.

01:40:43.000 Right now, you can get $200 off for a limited time if you use my link, covepure.com/slash Tim.

01:40:50.000 That's C-O-V-E-P-U-R-E dot com slash Tim to start the new year right.

01:40:56.000 We got one of these things.

01:40:57.000 They're really awesome.

01:40:58.000 I'm a big fan.

01:40:59.000 Thank you for having these guys as sponsors.

01:41:01.000 I mean, the Florida out of the water is big.

01:41:01.000 Thank them.

01:41:03.000 Oh, man.

01:41:03.000 But we're on a well anyway, but there are trace residues and stuff.

01:41:06.000 And you can carry these around with you as you travel, which is phenomenal.

01:41:09.000 Based.

01:41:10.000 And then it remineralizes.

01:41:11.000 It's just reverse osmosis, too.

01:41:13.000 I haven't looked into it yet.

01:41:14.000 Super cool.

01:41:15.000 All right.

01:41:15.000 Let's see what you guys got going on.

01:41:18.000 Cheeseburger says disparaging things about James Lindsey and calls him, he calls him gay and retarded. 0.99

01:41:25.000 That's what he said. 0.99

01:41:26.000 All right.

01:41:28.000 Metal Joe says, longtime Tim Cast member.

01:41:30.000 I recently started a YouTube and Rumble discussing moral philosophy using topical subjects to do so.

01:41:35.000 The channel is The Moral Philosopher for anyone interested.

01:41:38.000 Right on.

01:41:39.000 Shout out.

01:41:41.000 What do we got here?

01:41:42.000 Force Name Change says, hey, Cast Crew, I just want to offer a shout out for my buddy and his wife welcoming their third daughter to this world at 8.05 your time.

01:41:51.000 Hello, baby Judith, five pound six ounce girl. 1.00

01:41:54.000 Bravo.

01:41:55.000 Congratulations.

01:41:56.000 Welcome to the world Patriot.

01:41:58.000 A lot of work.

01:41:59.000 A lot of work to do.

01:42:00.000 Like a lot of work to do, redistricting everything.

01:42:02.000 So just, again, as soon as you can talk, really, we need you.

01:42:04.000 So that's right.

01:42:05.000 I'm working on the truth.

01:42:06.000 That's right.

01:42:08.000 What do we have here?

01:42:10.000 Ligman Freud says, open the coffee shop in Florida and escape park.

01:42:15.000 Man, I do not like Florida.

01:42:18.000 Like the government did a great job, and the people here are fantastic, but the weather.

01:42:24.000 What if it's beautiful right now?

01:42:25.000 What are you talking about?

01:42:26.000 Yeah, I like snow.

01:42:29.000 I like mountains.

01:42:30.000 I'm from Chicago.

01:42:31.000 I like cold.

01:42:32.000 Yeah, you can keep it.

01:42:34.000 I look like I like cold.

01:42:35.000 I just want to be in the cold all the time.

01:42:37.000 We have an AC unit they installed for us personally.

01:42:39.000 Rumble installed an ACE unit just for me because I'm like, I want it to be 10 degrees in here, but I'll compromise and let you guys have 50.

01:42:45.000 Tim, we have acquired some new territory that I think fits that.

01:42:48.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:42:50.000 Move the studio to Greenlands.

01:42:51.000 Greenlands.

01:42:53.000 Getting guests will be impossible.

01:42:54.000 I was going to say, if Eskimo's on the show, that's going to be a fun plane ride.

01:42:57.000 They're just challenging.

01:42:58.000 They're getting blobber all over the desk.

01:43:00.000 It's like, guys, come on.

01:43:01.000 A little decorum.

01:43:02.000 A whale will be our guest.

01:43:02.000 We're Americans.

01:43:04.000 No, we love Eskimos.

01:43:05.000 All polar bears.

01:43:06.000 Yeah, I'm.

01:43:07.000 I don't know.

01:43:08.000 I can handle the heat, though.

01:43:09.000 I don't wear the beanie.

01:43:10.000 I think it's just time to go full seien, dude, and rip it off.

01:43:13.000 Just have a gigantic sayyan? 1.00

01:43:14.000 Yeah, just be like, full pool.

01:43:16.000 Pinochet says, tons of hair.

01:43:18.000 When I'm weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles.

01:43:22.000 When I'm stronger than you, I take away your freedoms because that is according to my principles.

01:43:26.000 That was from Dune, Frank Herbert.

01:43:26.000 Dune.

01:43:27.000 Yep.

01:43:28.000 Wow.

01:43:29.000 That's what they do.

01:43:30.000 That's what they do.

01:43:31.000 We should have another one that says, when I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to my principles.

01:43:38.000 When I am stronger than you, I let you do whatever you want and hurt me because I'm Ian.

01:43:44.000 Oh, man.

01:43:44.000 Not at all.

01:43:46.000 You're a military bro.

01:43:47.000 That's right.

01:43:48.000 Ian said it.

01:43:49.000 Yeah, that's not even paraphrasing.

01:43:50.000 They said that the second coming of Christ will come, but it'll either be an economic unifier or a destroyer of worlds.

01:43:55.000 I don't want to, I'm not saying that I want to be that for people.

01:43:58.000 I'm like, how can I be like, how can I carry Jesus' torch?

01:44:02.000 I don't want to go to church.

01:44:03.000 Go to church?

01:44:04.000 You know, he is always touching on the children.

01:44:08.000 There's actually a whole book about how you can do this.

01:44:10.000 Yeah.

01:44:10.000 It's really handy.

01:44:11.000 There's like 66 books. 0.99

01:44:13.000 I love military shit. 0.99

01:44:14.000 I got to be honest, though. 1.00

01:44:15.000 I don't want to become like Jesus.

01:44:17.000 I feel like God in heaven, you know, you call it blasphemy, but Ian's not intentionally blasphemous.

01:44:23.000 So it's more like, you know, the saints and God are going, Ian, don't blow your cover, bro.

01:44:29.000 Let him find out after you're gone.

01:44:31.000 Ian, the accidental heretic. 0.52

01:44:33.000 Yeah.

01:44:34.000 You know, what happens to someone like Ian when he goes to heaven?

01:44:36.000 Do they say, well, he didn't really mean these things, so we don't hold it against him.

01:44:39.000 He just keeps stumbling onto this burning pile of sticks.

01:44:42.000 The first time we had to pearly gates and plead insanity.

01:44:46.000 Thank you for playing Forrest Gump so well while you were on Earth.

01:44:50.000 A funny bit I'm imagining is like Ian dies and goes to heaven and we're all like, well, I hope he's doing well up there.

01:44:54.000 And then Ian in heaven is actually lecturing everybody and explaining about my head.

01:44:57.000 He has the exact correct theology.

01:44:59.000 He is the one person who is nailed to death.

01:45:01.000 He is Calvin.

01:45:04.000 Martin Luther's like, that's a great point. 0.99

01:45:06.000 Yeah, you know, I should have seen this coming. 0.98

01:45:08.000 I was a fool the whole time. 0.95

01:45:10.000 I love you, God. 0.99

01:45:11.000 All right.

01:45:12.000 We got spirits out there.

01:45:13.000 Thanks. 0.91

01:45:14.000 Keithster says, McCoy's were jealous, sanctimonious pricks. 0.93

01:45:18.000 Montani Semper Liberi. 0.95

01:45:20.000 Wow.

01:45:20.000 We got a hat fielder in there.

01:45:22.000 Yeah, interesting.

01:45:25.000 You know, the white awakes are a little obscure, but yeah, a hack fielder is.

01:45:28.000 That's a long term.

01:45:30.000 Trads are really going crazy with the warping.

01:45:33.000 Mason says, Ian is a real-life example of the Herschel family from The Walking Dead locking up zombies, desperately hoping their family is still in there.

01:45:40.000 Oh, man.

01:45:40.000 I am the guy in the movie that's looking for the cure, the whole movie.

01:45:44.000 Yeah, but like I find it.

01:45:45.000 You're like, you've got a girlfriend and she's a zombie and you're like, don't hurt her.

01:45:49.000 She isn't you. 0.90

01:45:50.000 And then they're like, she's going to bite. 0.77

01:45:51.000 And you're like, no, and then she bites you. 1.00

01:45:52.000 No, no, no.

01:45:53.000 I wouldn't let that happen.

01:45:55.000 Everything but the bite.

01:45:56.000 I'd be kind of envy.

01:45:57.000 That's not what I meant.

01:45:59.000 Not everything.

01:46:00.000 Yeah.

01:46:00.000 How?

01:46:02.000 I like zombie movies, but they just don't make sense.

01:46:05.000 Right.

01:46:05.000 Like the bombies are like, zombies are like bombies.

01:46:07.000 The zombies are like, I'll bite you, but not the other zombie.

01:46:10.000 And you're like, but why?

01:46:11.000 And then they try to justify like World War Z. 0.75

01:46:13.000 It's like, because they're emitting sickness and pheromones or something.

01:46:15.000 And it's like, eh.

01:46:17.000 The only one I really like is 28 Days Later. 0.86

01:46:20.000 Yeah, and then the other one sucked.

01:46:22.000 I haven't seen them yet.

01:46:23.000 I don't want 28 Days Later was pretty good.

01:46:26.000 The third act was like, eh, okay, I guess.

01:46:29.000 And then the latest one, 28 years later, where's 28 months later, bro?

01:46:33.000 They skipped it. 0.99

01:46:34.000 And then the years later was just dumb. 0.99

01:46:37.000 They're like, oh, the zombies are now feral, gigantic, what do they call them, like primals? 0.99

01:46:42.000 The virus makes them just massive, ripped guys that want to bang women and they have zombie babies. 0.97

01:46:47.000 For real. 0.99

01:46:47.000 It's like you've crossed, you've gone too far. 0.99

01:46:49.000 Is it Killian Murphy?

01:46:50.000 Is he still the main guy?

01:46:52.000 Stick with the George Romero zombie movies.

01:46:52.000 No.

01:46:55.000 Those are great.

01:46:57.000 That's my plan right now as I'm working on a zombie.

01:46:57.000 I want to make one.

01:46:59.000 I always had a really good idea for a prank I wanted to do where we need a house with like a second floor, maybe like an attic window, and then you get a bunch of your friends and get Hollywood zombie makeup and squibs.

01:47:14.000 And you know what squibs are?

01:47:15.000 You guys know?

01:47:16.000 Yeah, those are banned now.

01:47:17.000 Squibs are banned now.

01:47:18.000 It's like all CGI because the squibs actually explode, right?

01:47:20.000 Right, yeah, sure.

01:47:21.000 Well, you get squibs and then you order pizza.

01:47:23.000 And then when the pizza guy pulls up, or the DoorDash guy, and they're walking to the door, you yell, you gotta get out of here.

01:47:29.000 You gotta run.

01:47:29.000 And they're like, what's going on behind you?

01:47:31.000 And then they turns around and then there's like, and then you go, boom, and then the squib pops.

01:47:37.000 And then they're like, what the? 0.89

01:47:38.000 And they're looking around their zombies everywhere and you're actually shooting them.

01:47:43.000 And then they're falling over.

01:47:45.000 Like, what would that pizza guy do? 0.57

01:47:46.000 He'd probably just take it, like, just crap his pants.

01:47:49.000 If you do it in like Detroit, though, if you do it in Detroit, you're going to receive this. 0.98

01:47:55.000 He'd return fire.

01:47:56.000 That's my chance.

01:47:57.000 Third time this night.

01:48:00.000 Yeah, if you're a pizza delivery guy in Detroit and not strap. 0.79

01:48:02.000 You shot him. 0.96

01:48:03.000 You shot the zombies.

01:48:04.000 And he goes, they were zombies?

01:48:06.000 Yeah.

01:48:09.000 All right.

01:48:09.000 What do we got here?

01:48:11.000 Force name change says, since y'all are speaking about music and artists of yesteryear, have you heard of Van Morrison's most recent music? 0.98

01:48:17.000 It's pure garbage. 0.93

01:48:19.000 Ongoing senility with a beat of, with a beat and a key so bad. 1.00

01:48:24.000 Oh, wow.

01:48:25.000 Music's over, bro.

01:48:26.000 Music's over.

01:48:28.000 That's it.

01:48:29.000 Like, dude, Instagram is nothing but AI thoughts and TikTok.

01:48:35.000 It's just, it's crazy.

01:48:37.000 And the funny thing is, there's a video where there's like a fat Indian guy and he's going like this. 0.82

01:48:42.000 And then that's a small window. 0.81

01:48:44.000 And the big window is like this busty, hot, like Asian chick dancing. 1.00

01:48:47.000 And I'm like, y'all dudes are cranking it to fat Indian guys. 1.00

01:48:52.000 I've been thinking about this.

01:48:53.000 Actually, earlier today, I don't think that music's over, but it's totally different than when you would make a band and then get famous and get signed and go on tour and then you get rich.

01:49:02.000 Now it's like, good luck getting anyone to see your music.

01:49:05.000 It's me to have a presence.

01:49:06.000 It's been like that for 25 years.

01:49:09.000 The internet?

01:49:10.000 25 years?

01:49:10.000 Yeah, well, I mean, as soon as you start, as soon as you could download songs, right?

01:49:14.000 As soon as they digitize them and you could download them like on Winamp or whatever.

01:49:17.000 Winamp.

01:49:18.000 Yeah, back in the day.

01:49:19.000 That was fast.

01:49:21.000 You know, like that.

01:49:23.000 It was over then.

01:49:25.000 I'll talk about AI and stuff like that and what's going to happen in the future.

01:49:29.000 And invariably, someone says, you know, gets on and replies with some kind of angry tweet because AI is coming for their job.

01:49:36.000 And they're like, oh, you know, you're rich and blah, It's like, bro, like, I was the, I was in the first industry to get like the real screwing because of the internet and because of digital stuff.

01:49:48.000 Like music sales fell off a clip.

01:49:51.000 Our breakout record came out the same year that Spotify was introduced.

01:49:55.000 Wow.

01:49:56.000 2006.

01:49:56.000 You know, I feel bad for Tate because he'll never know the joy of it taking eight hours to download one song.

01:50:03.000 Oh, yeah.

01:50:05.000 Or the number of viruses you get off LimeWire.

01:50:07.000 Yeah.

01:50:07.000 More of my favorite was when you'd like, I'm like, I really want to download Falling Away From Me by Korn.

01:50:13.000 And you would, and then it would actually be some random no-name band who was trying to get out there.

01:50:18.000 So you go on LimeWire and you're like corn.

01:50:21.000 You click it.

01:50:22.000 It finally downloads after like four hours and you play it and it's some like whiny teenager warped tour kind of band and you're like, what is this?

01:50:28.000 I think the only like thing I can get that's anything close to this experience you're describing is like before you board a plane, you forgot to download stuff on Spotify, the podcast or music or whatever.

01:50:36.000 So then you just have the most random.

01:50:38.000 They have Starlink now, dude.

01:50:39.000 Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying you get on the plane and you have the most random like collection of songs you've ever heard in your entire life.

01:50:44.000 All that was downloaded.

01:50:45.000 You say, Tate, we used to use a Brontosaurus to download.

01:50:48.000 Yeah, that's how we used to transmit music from when we were doing it.

01:50:50.000 We had Web TV.

01:50:51.000 Jeez.

01:50:52.000 Web TV.

01:50:52.000 My family had Web TV.

01:50:53.000 Yeah, it was a box you put on your TV and you had a keyboard.

01:50:56.000 And it was like this weird limited run thing.

01:50:59.000 Yeah.

01:50:59.000 Internet on your TV.

01:51:01.000 I don't know.

01:51:01.000 90, what had to have been like early 90s?

01:51:04.000 Oh, it was connected to the internet.

01:51:06.000 Yeah, we had you'd use cable to do it.

01:51:09.000 And it was a weird interface.

01:51:09.000 Wow.

01:51:11.000 There's not much you can do.

01:51:12.000 I mean, my family had CompuServe on DOS.

01:51:14.000 You couldn't do anything.

01:51:15.000 I didn't even use it.

01:51:16.000 But I would download all these old Apogee games.

01:51:19.000 Remember those games?

01:51:20.000 You don't remember Dappoje?

01:51:20.000 No, I didn't know.

01:51:21.000 Oh, yeah, he gets them all.

01:51:22.000 Commander Keene was an Apogee, was it? 1.00

01:51:24.000 I don't remember.

01:51:24.000 I'm looking at it.

01:51:25.000 OG Commander Keene, dude.

01:51:27.000 Captain Comic.

01:51:28.000 Commander Keene.

01:51:28.000 Even I don't know.

01:51:29.000 He's like, what?

01:51:30.000 Like, oh, that was all foreign language.

01:51:32.000 Are you guys kidding?

01:51:33.000 You know, Commander Keene.

01:51:35.000 Yeah, and then you get their Warburg game.

01:51:36.000 Yeah, it's great.

01:51:37.000 I'm like, is this Sims?

01:51:38.000 What's going on?

01:51:40.000 The Sims, dude.

01:51:41.000 Sims, what's the Sims? 0.98

01:51:45.000 With your small brains and uncultured Somole. 1.00

01:51:48.000 Look at this. 1.00

01:51:48.000 Okay. 1.00

01:51:49.000 Yeah, Commander Keene, I remember this.

01:51:50.000 This is Mario.

01:51:51.000 I don't see your commentary, bro.

01:51:53.000 This is Commodore 64.

01:51:54.000 Free promo, bro.

01:51:55.000 What's that?

01:51:55.000 It's a barcode on a shirt.

01:51:58.000 MS DOS Retros.

01:51:59.000 You know, with all due respect, actually, I want to give this guy a shout-out.

01:52:01.000 Okay.

01:52:02.000 This is from 10 months ago.

01:52:03.000 So shout out MS-DOS Retrospectives because you did the work.

01:52:07.000 You deserve it, brother.

01:52:08.000 Yes.

01:52:09.000 Patriot salute.

01:52:10.000 Right, look at this.

01:52:12.000 Bro, OG Commander Keene was awesome.

01:52:14.000 Yeah, they really pulled it off.

01:52:15.000 This was like when video games turned the corner from Atari.

01:52:18.000 What was that DOS game?

01:52:21.000 What was it called?

01:52:23.000 This is when you're like, it's getting real, dude.

01:52:24.000 Back in the middle.

01:52:25.000 It really looks like a soda.

01:52:26.000 This guy would have been like an archaeologist.

01:52:28.000 Crystal Caves was Scarlett.

01:52:30.000 In a way, he still is.

01:52:31.000 He's a modern archaeologist, yeah.

01:52:34.000 Circus.

01:52:34.000 Yeah, Crystal Caves, bro.

01:52:36.000 Crystal Caves, both.

01:52:37.000 You remember that game?

01:52:39.000 If you're a band.

01:52:40.000 1991, dude.

01:52:42.000 Isometric? 0.84

01:52:43.000 That looks pretty good.

01:52:45.000 Look at that.

01:52:46.000 You know, other than a few minor tweaks like this danger sign, for instance, it's got everything looks like some version of Mario Brothers.

01:52:53.000 I know every game Crystal Caves.

01:52:56.000 This game was so based.

01:52:58.000 Look at this.

01:52:58.000 It was running amazingly smooth.

01:53:00.000 Let's turn these kind of area jumping around, eating bananas. 0.92

01:53:04.000 I didn't see that while emulating the original Crystal Caves.

01:53:06.000 Look at that.

01:53:07.000 Okay.

01:53:08.000 He's got the Mario head button.

01:53:10.000 Look at that.

01:53:10.000 That's on Steam.

01:53:11.000 Doesn't show that.

01:53:13.000 And then you guys don't know Captain Comic?

01:53:15.000 No.

01:53:15.000 I don't think so.

01:53:17.000 Is all DOS?

01:53:17.000 What system is this?

01:53:18.000 We didn't have a sound card for our first DOS.

01:53:20.000 Yeah, I was going to say I didn't get into computer gaming until later.

01:53:23.000 I mean, we all did the Oregon Trail in City.

01:53:26.000 Look at this.

01:53:26.000 DOS.

01:53:27.000 Comic.exe 1988.

01:53:30.000 See, this was back when everything was perfect.

01:53:32.000 Piora, Illinois.

01:53:33.000 This was when the world was the best it ever was and has never improved since then.

01:53:36.000 In order to open programs.

01:53:38.000 This is the music I'm talking about.

01:53:40.000 Oh, and this is good.

01:53:41.000 You know what I saw this is, right?

01:53:44.000 You know what it is?

01:53:45.000 I don't think so.

01:53:47.000 Oh, the Marine Corps.

01:53:51.000 That was cool.

01:53:51.000 Keyston's March, the Marines.

01:53:52.000 Oh, that's the Corn Marshall.

01:53:54.000 Planet Hall.

01:53:54.000 See?

01:53:55.000 Yeah, Montezu.

01:53:57.000 Of course, you get to buy items.

01:53:59.000 Of course.

01:53:59.000 Brave.

01:54:00.000 Look at this game.

01:54:00.000 It's pretty complicated.

01:54:02.000 This is 88, bro.

01:54:03.000 Yeah, man.

01:54:04.000 Look at that.

01:54:04.000 He's got a 1988, really.

01:54:06.000 Wow.

01:54:07.000 Yeah.

01:54:08.000 Look at him.

01:54:08.000 Throwing fireballs right from SX.

01:54:10.000 This is crazy.

01:54:11.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:54:12.000 That was the shit. 1.00

01:54:14.000 286 SX processor. 1.00

01:54:16.000 Then my buddy got the 486.

01:54:18.000 Oh, dude, when we got the 486 DX.

01:54:21.000 Yo, yeah, yeah.

01:54:22.000 Whoa.

01:54:23.000 And then Pentium.

01:54:25.000 Everything changed, dude.

01:54:26.000 Everything changed.

01:54:28.000 62 B. Did you have a turbo button on your computer?

01:54:31.000 Yeah.

01:54:32.000 Shannon did.

01:54:32.000 No, no, no.

01:54:33.000 My buddy Straz.

01:54:34.000 Yeah, our computers have a button or you can mingle faster.

01:54:36.000 Oh, which is the same thing.

01:54:37.000 Well, my Alienware has the high-performance button.

01:54:41.000 It was like everything went faster on the machine.

01:54:43.000 I know.

01:54:43.000 The entire machine.

01:54:44.000 I pity you guys.

01:54:44.000 You didn't get experience Prime Fortnite.

01:54:46.000 That's not the same thing.

01:54:48.000 Are you kidding, bro?

01:54:49.000 What's this slot?

01:54:50.000 You shouldn't cite the old magic to me.

01:54:52.000 That was there when it was written.

01:54:53.000 Let me tell you about having to tell my mom to stop trying to call a long distance because I had to finish my Warcraft one game.

01:54:59.000 That sounds awful.

01:55:00.000 It sounds Arab, darling.

01:55:01.000 This is the thing over time.

01:55:04.000 I still remember trying to build this for hours.

01:55:06.000 Was it IDQD for God Mode and Doom?

01:55:10.000 I-D-D-Q-D. 0.89

01:55:10.000 What was it? 0.89

01:55:12.000 I don't know.

01:55:13.000 That's the code for God Mode and Doom.

01:55:16.000 I-D-S-P-O-S-P-O-P-D. 1.00

01:55:17.000 That's clipping, I think.

01:55:19.000 It sounds like a disease.

01:55:20.000 It was more of a Wolfenstein guy.

01:55:21.000 You play Quake 2 a lot.

01:55:23.000 And then in 98, 97 is unlinked.

01:55:23.000 Yeah.

01:55:25.000 Just because you can fire nine-inch now.

01:55:26.000 Did you guys make levels in Doom or in Quake?

01:55:29.000 You have to make levels and then make each other play them?

01:55:32.000 I had to go to the worldwide cafe where we had basically parties.

01:55:36.000 How so close?

01:55:37.000 It's I-D-S-P-I-S-P-O-P D. 1.00

01:55:39.000 That was the code for Doom, no clipping.

01:55:41.000 And I remember that from 30 years ago.

01:55:43.000 That game's phenomenal.

01:55:45.000 Yep.

01:55:46.000 That game set the tone for the 90s.

01:55:48.000 There you go, man.

01:55:49.000 Let's get some more of these super chats.

01:55:52.000 Wes Nile Productions says, Tim, y'all are in my hometown.

01:55:54.000 What's it got to do to get y'all in my studio or vice versa?

01:55:57.000 I've DMed, I've tweeted, I've super chatted.

01:55:58.000 I'm all out of ideas.

01:56:00.000 Where can I send y'all my work?

01:56:01.000 I'd love to contribute to your music.

01:56:03.000 Hit up Ian and Carter on X.

01:56:05.000 Well, dude, who's it?

01:56:06.000 Yeah.

01:56:06.000 What's the name?

01:56:07.000 Wes Nile Productions.

01:56:09.000 Dig it, Wes.

01:56:12.000 You know, the reality is sometimes we bump into people.

01:56:16.000 Joe Spinell says, False, Tim.

01:56:17.000 I live in Minnesota.

01:56:18.000 It's illegal to open carry a rifle or a shotgun, especially in Minneapolis.

01:56:21.000 I support his right, but if I did the same thing for my beliefs, I'd be in jail.

01:56:25.000 All right, lock him up.

01:56:26.000 Lock him up.

01:56:27.000 Gotta go.

01:56:28.000 That's what I'm talking about.

01:56:29.000 Right to Jim.

01:56:30.000 Right to Jim.

01:56:32.000 All of them.

01:56:33.000 Let's see.

01:56:33.000 What have we?

01:56:35.000 Yeah, but Trump says, regarding an earlier clip today, just check Google AI answer about use of military.

01:56:42.000 Sudden attack, defending interests abroad, et cetera.

01:56:44.000 Limited time to blow without Congress.

01:56:47.000 U.S. Marines can be utilized anytime for emergency use.

01:56:49.000 Indeed.

01:56:50.000 Yeah, there was an article from Newsweek, an op-ed from one of their directors who was like, Trump is going to militaristically take Greenland and he's killing people and like all of the sources don't check out.

01:57:01.000 And it's just like, first of all, the invasion of Venezuela.

01:57:05.000 I'm not a big fan of, but, you know, we'll see.

01:57:09.000 I am a fan of some kind of action because they stole our oil assets and we shouldn't have let them get away with it in the first place.

01:57:14.000 But every single president in my life has taken military action without Congress.

01:57:19.000 Trump's not special.

01:57:22.000 Trump's not special.

01:57:24.000 All right.

01:57:25.000 What have we?

01:57:27.000 Let's see.

01:57:28.000 It's Paul Newman says, you need to attend the Alberta Independence Rally on the 28th in Calgary.

01:57:33.000 Bro, I'm not setting foot in Canada.

01:57:34.000 Are you not?

01:57:34.000 Let's go to Canada, bro.

01:57:37.000 You gotta pull up Alberta.

01:57:39.000 What are we doing here?

01:57:40.000 Look, I'm sure I see the air.

01:57:43.000 Literally.

01:57:44.000 Yeah, I'm sure.

01:57:46.000 You maple monkeys. 0.72

01:57:47.000 All right.

01:57:48.000 So Alberta wants to be free? 0.97

01:57:50.000 I love Albertans are ironically patriots.

01:57:52.000 Jokes aside, Albertans for Canadian standards.

01:57:55.000 Don't even go there.

01:57:56.000 People talking about bringing Canada into the United States.

01:57:59.000 No, you cannot come into the U.S. Bro.

01:58:03.000 Questionable Connect says the goal of buying Greenland is simple.

01:58:06.000 Trump plans to name it Trump, like how Washington is just named Washington.

01:58:10.000 That way, when people Google Trump Island, Greenland will come up.

01:58:16.000 I'm for it based.

01:58:18.000 Could you imagine if we're just like, oh, I'm going on vacation?

01:58:20.000 Trump?

01:58:20.000 Where are you going?

01:58:21.000 Yeah.

01:58:22.000 That's how it should be.

01:58:23.000 Oh, I've always wanted to go.

01:58:24.000 It sounds great, but cold.

01:58:25.000 It is.

01:58:26.000 Yeah, but the casino is fantastic.

01:58:28.000 Every town should be Trump Town, Trump City, Trump Village.

01:58:30.000 Trumpville.

01:58:32.000 Yeah, just basically Trumpshire.

01:58:32.000 Based on the size.

01:58:35.000 Yeah, I'm into Trumpshire this weekend, and then I'll probably pop over to Trump City.

01:58:35.000 Oh, dude.

01:58:39.000 I saw Tommy Post this time of year.

01:58:40.000 Where Trump is shout out A. There'll have to be a Trump Glacier.

01:58:46.000 I saw a funny post where libs were freaking out because they realized that all the characters in Lord of the Rings are aristocrats, nobles, and royalty, and that they were cheering for them.

01:58:53.000 Yep.

01:58:54.000 Like the, like, except for Sam Weiss.

01:58:56.000 He's the only one who was a peasant. 0.83

01:58:58.000 Literally, like, Legolas and airgorner princes and royalty.

01:59:01.000 You've got the son of the stewards.

01:59:02.000 You've got Gimli is the son of some like wealthy nobility.

01:59:07.000 The Baggins are old money, you know, in Hobbiton.

01:59:10.000 And it's like they're rooting for the wealthy ultra-elites at a governmental meeting.

01:59:15.000 To be fair, Tolkien was a Franco supporter.

01:59:17.000 That's right.

01:59:18.000 Oh, absolutely.

01:59:18.000 Was he really?

01:59:19.000 ENCS Lewis fell out over it.

01:59:21.000 Well, it actually destroyed their friendship.

01:59:23.000 That's sad.

01:59:25.000 All right.

01:59:26.000 David Brigham says, Ian, I love you, buddy, but you've been rolling ones tonight.

01:59:29.000 Sometimes I'm uncontrolled opposition and I'm the one controlling myself.

01:59:29.000 Have I?

01:59:33.000 But thank you for your opinion.

01:59:35.000 And I would love to debate you on it.

01:59:38.000 I think I can up the ante.

01:59:39.000 And also, I'm rolling with advantage.

01:59:41.000 So though you may see 1-1, like what was the other role?

01:59:44.000 Because I'm the one on the show, so I get advantage.

01:59:46.000 So true.

01:59:47.000 I'm just kidding.

01:59:48.000 So true.

01:59:48.000 I might have been wrong about some things.

01:59:52.000 It's not that I'm truly tepid, but I will anchor the slow down there energy just for the sake of when I look back on my life, I can at least say that I stood up for my principles.

02:00:04.000 You got to go to jail.

02:00:05.000 But sometimes you need drastic military force, and I understand that.

02:00:08.000 I'm just, I like civilian life right now.

02:00:10.000 They got to go to jail.

02:00:13.000 All right.

02:00:13.000 Giovanni Garcia says, Tim, as much as I love you, what is informing you on your worldview?

02:00:19.000 In your world, might and strength make it right.

02:00:21.000 It's whatever you want.

02:00:22.000 Stop stealing our morals. 1.00

02:00:24.000 Incorrect and ignorant. 0.99

02:00:27.000 I actually have never said might makes right because it doesn't. 0.95

02:00:30.000 Might does not make morality, but it does make.

02:00:32.000 Might makes, period.

02:00:34.000 Those that are not mighty get crushed and disappear, and those, the strong, survive.

02:00:38.000 Cry about it all you want, but that's truth, not opinion.

02:00:38.000 That's it.

02:00:42.000 In the world, the big fish eats the little fish.

02:00:44.000 That's not going to change because you hope it does.

02:00:46.000 However, morality, what we have, especially in the United States, is to seek to balance this to create a more perfect union, a better world for everybody, where it's not just about the strongest, but a variety of things you can contribute to to your country.

02:00:58.000 Unfortunately for us, the statement used to be ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

02:01:04.000 And now liberals are just like gimme, gimme, gimme.

02:01:06.000 So, you know, what forms my worldview is my upbringing.

02:01:13.000 Regarding strength, because I have thought like power will earn you a government.

02:01:13.000 Really?

02:01:17.000 You can take one, but to maintain it, you need diplomacy.

02:01:22.000 So just brute force won't like maintain your country.

02:01:25.000 You need both.

02:01:27.000 Historically, brute force has worked pretty well.

02:01:29.000 But they always, these, these dictatorships tend to fall out.

02:01:33.000 They get blown up by psychic force and physical force.

02:01:38.000 You need to pressure release dispossessed groups, and you need to crush violent groups.

02:01:46.000 Gaitana Mosca called this a ruling formula, meaning that you need both the physical force, but you also need the psychological and basically metaphysical justification.

02:01:57.000 You need to both have the overwhelming force, but you also need to have the underlying logic by which people understand and legitimate your rule.

02:02:05.000 Indeed, my friends, we're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show over at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL.
