Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Fetterman Rumored BRAINDEAD, Sponsors Bill Despite Hospitalization w-Ashley St. Clair

00:00:00.000 So, John Fetterman, the Democrat Senator from Pennsylvania, apparently signed on to some

00:00:24.000 legislation and drafted a letter, despite the fact he's been hospitalized for two weeks

00:00:28.000 and no one has seen him since and his wife and children have fled the country.

00:00:32.000 Okay, fled.

00:00:33.000 They went on vacation.

00:00:34.000 And Fetterman's in the hospital for depression.

00:00:37.000 The rumor that's going around is that he's brain dead, or close to it.

00:00:41.000 I don't know if that's true, but the dude was already suffering from some severe debilitating effects of a stroke.

00:00:47.000 So if the guy disappears for two weeks, no one's heard from him, I'm not so sure depression is the simple solution that makes the least amount of assumptions, especially when his family dips out of the country for vacation. But, you know, who

00:00:59.000 knows? Maybe the guy's just chilling and he's depressed or whatever right after winning the

00:01:03.000 biggest race of his life and accomplishing his dreams. He's sad now. I don't know. For

00:01:08.000 all we know, like, he got his dreams, and then he's like, I can't function. And he really is

00:01:11.000 depressed. But the rumor going around is that he's just no longer functioning, near brain dead.

00:01:17.000 And there are even some Republicans demanding proof of life.

00:01:20.000 Maybe a bit, uh, exaggerated, but a lot of people are wondering, how did he sign onto this legislation if he's currently admitted to a hospital and not working?

00:01:29.000 Let's talk about it.

00:01:29.000 Alright.

00:01:30.000 Then we got Joe Biden, who laughed when discussing a story about a mother whose two children died when they accidentally ingested fentanyl, and Corinne Jean-Pierre says, no, no, no, he's being sympathetic to the family, of course, of course.

00:01:43.000 Biden blames Trump.

00:01:44.000 Here's what I love about the story.

00:01:45.000 Donald Trump inherits a busted border from Obama and Biden, and immediately, his whole campaign was building a wall to stop these problems, immediately starts deporting people and trying to build a wall, which is blocked by Democrats, and now, You have Joe Biden saying, oh no, that was Trump's fault.

00:02:01.000 That was during the Trump administration.

00:02:02.000 All right, let's talk about the border crisis.

00:02:04.000 There's a bunch of other stories, of course, we can get to.

00:02:06.000 There's a Tennessee lawmaker who wants to bring back hanging people by a tree as a method of execution.

00:02:12.000 Well, all right, I guess that seems to be where we're going.

00:03:21.000 Hello, hello.

00:03:21.000 Thanks for having me again, Tim.

00:03:23.000 Who are you?

00:03:23.000 Absolutely.

00:03:24.000 What do you do?

00:03:25.000 I do operations for the Babylon Bee and I am also an author of the anti-trans children's book, Elephants Are Not Birds. 0.73

00:03:32.000 Another story that we should talk about is this viral video of drag for babies.

00:03:37.000 There's this viral video going around where there's literally babies, I'm not exaggerating, babies on the ground as a guy does a thong striptease.

00:03:46.000 And there's like disco lights going off.

00:03:47.000 Yo, it's- It should be criminal.

00:03:49.000 Yeah.

00:03:49.000 It should be criminal.

00:03:51.000 Do not collect $200.

00:03:51.000 Do not pass go.

00:03:52.000 That's in London, but I'm pretty sure it's already illegal.

00:03:54.000 It's just cops.

00:03:56.000 We'll get into it.

00:03:57.000 Also joining us tonight is Mary Morgan.

00:03:59.000 Hello, everyone.

00:04:01.000 It's been a while since I've been on IRL.

00:04:03.000 My name is Mary Morgan.

00:04:04.000 Why is my voice shot?

00:04:07.000 I'm on Pop Culture Crisis here in the attic at Timcast, and I was let out today.

00:04:12.000 That's right, in the attic.

00:04:13.000 Happy to be here.

00:04:14.000 Maybe it's your meat diet.

00:04:16.000 How's the meat diet?

00:04:16.000 Yeah.

00:04:17.000 I've been on the carnivore diet recently.

00:04:21.000 Still adjusting.

00:04:22.000 I feel like I don't really want food anymore.

00:04:25.000 I'm just repulsed by it now.

00:04:26.000 Alright, you're on the right track.

00:04:28.000 Am I?

00:04:29.000 Is that a good sign?

00:04:30.000 I don't know how this all works.

00:04:33.000 Ashley, you said you put anti-trans in air quotes when you were describing your book.

00:04:37.000 That's what they say about it.

00:04:38.000 Okay, so that's the criticism, but the book itself is about you are what you are.

00:04:42.000 Be happy with what you are.

00:04:43.000 Elephants are not birds.

00:04:44.000 Boys are not girls. 1.00

00:04:45.000 Girls are not boys.

00:04:46.000 Hi, everyone.

00:04:47.000 Ian Crawson here.

00:04:48.000 Good to see you again, Ashley.

00:04:48.000 Happy to be here.

00:04:49.000 Mary, good to see you.

00:04:50.000 Surge, what's happening, brother?

00:04:50.000 Hi.

00:04:51.000 Yo, uh...

00:04:52.000 Oh, your microphones are far away from your face.

00:04:55.000 I'm just not talking into it.

00:04:56.000 Um, yeah, ready to start the show.

00:04:58.000 Let's jump into this first story!

00:05:00.000 We got this from the post-millennial John Fetterman co-sponsor Senate bill despite being institutionalized since February 15th.

00:05:08.000 Fetterman's office has not said who is co-sponsoring legislation with his name on it while he remains institutionalized.

00:05:14.000 A senior aide revealed that Fetterman would be hospitalized for up to two months.

00:05:18.000 So it's clearly not him.

00:05:20.000 I guess that's the important point, is they're saying he's co-sponsoring this bill, but it's probably just a member of his staff.

00:05:25.000 And I gotta show you this right here from Twitter.

00:05:28.000 Or from John Cardillo on Twitter.

00:05:31.000 He says, this is from February 25th, so it was a while ago.

00:05:34.000 Being told that Fetterman is essentially brain dead and it's being hidden because keeping him in office until August 18th avoids a special election which Republicans would most certainly win.

00:05:51.000 This must be investigated.

00:05:53.000 So here's the best part about this tweet.

00:05:55.000 There's the- the context gets added to it.

00:05:58.000 And it says, readers added context they thought people might want to know.

00:06:02.000 The August 18th date has no significance.

00:06:04.000 If a senator from Pennsylvania passes away, a replacement appointed by the governor will serve until the next special election.

00:06:09.000 Oh! 0.60

00:06:09.000 Thank you for the fact check, Twitter. 0.60

00:06:11.000 No, uh, no fact check on whether or not Vetterman's brain dead or not.

00:06:14.000 That one they didn't- So that's- I saw that and I was like, okay.

00:06:19.000 A bunch of users said, no, no, no, there won't be a special election.

00:06:23.000 He's probably brain dead, but they'll just, you know, replace him.

00:06:26.000 The 18th date doesn't matter. 0.91

00:06:27.000 They'll just replace him or something.

00:06:29.000 So is Fetterman brain dead?

00:06:31.000 They're not debating the brain dead part.

00:06:33.000 That's what I thought was funny.

00:06:33.000 Right.

00:06:34.000 I'm like, you'd think they'd be like, there's no evidence to suggest that John Fetterman is effectively brain dead.

00:06:39.000 He was institutionalized with depression.

00:06:40.000 That's not really a medical term, is it?

00:06:43.000 Brain dead?

00:06:44.000 It might be.

00:06:46.000 I don't know.

00:06:46.000 And are they- is this like a cover-up of a suicide attempt?

00:06:49.000 No, no, no.

00:06:49.000 Is he struggling with depression?

00:06:50.000 I don't- The depression's probably fake.

00:06:52.000 I feel like the Democrat part- That's the fake part?

00:06:54.000 Yeah, he's probably in the hospital because his brain doesn't work.

00:06:57.000 Brain death is a thing.

00:07:00.000 It's permanent, irreversible, and complete loss of brain function.

00:07:03.000 Except for the brain stem, right?

00:07:07.000 I don't know the part that controls breathing or whatever, but they do say it's irreversible. So

00:07:12.000 you know, let me let me hyperbolic in this situation. We'll do an informal poll of the

00:07:16.000 of the audience will ask the audience. What is more likely knowing Fetterman's health and medical

00:07:21.000 history that he is depressed after winning, you know his dream election and checked himself into

00:07:29.000 a hospital where he'll be for up to two months or the man who suffered a stroke not that long ago

00:07:34.000 and still can't understand words had some kind of recurring health issue that has injured his

00:07:41.000 I think that depression... Put a one in the chat if you think he's just depressed, and two if you think he's brain dead.

00:07:47.000 I think the Democrat party is the worst senior care home I've ever seen.

00:07:51.000 I mean, between Fetterman and Biden, they cannot find out.

00:07:55.000 I mean, they never know where these guys are.

00:07:57.000 How do we not know where John Fetterman is?

00:07:58.000 I don't know.

00:08:00.000 How do we not know if he's brain dead?

00:08:02.000 Well, I always roll my eyes a little bit at stuff like this.

00:08:06.000 It is convenient for conservatives on the right to be able to say he's brain dead because the dude's basically not around.

00:08:13.000 So, in the world of politics, this is...

00:08:17.000 I don't know, par for the course.

00:08:19.000 Guy goes to the hospital, immediately come out with some salacious rumor that's gonna shock and damage the perception of this party.

00:08:25.000 But I'm kinda like, of all the rumors they could have, the dude who had a stroke not that long ago, who can't understand words, suffering another stroke, is completely plausible.

00:08:34.000 Because we talked about this before, people who suffer strokes are at risk for suffering them again.

00:08:39.000 And then all of a sudden, dude's in the hospital for several weeks, and get this, his wife is gone.

00:08:44.000 She's truly a frightful-looking woman. 1.00

00:08:50.000 That's what gets me. 0.94

00:08:52.000 Even if he's not brain-dead, right?

00:08:55.000 In what world, when anyone you care about is hospitalized because they're so depressed, do you flee the country?

00:09:02.000 I think people were ragging on her, and a lot of, like on Twitter, they were like, stop making fun of Fetterman's wife, you're bad people, and it's like, dude, her husband's depressed and in the hospital for weeks, and she just went on vacation with her kids.

00:09:15.000 That is like, that's worse than what Ted Cruz did.

00:09:18.000 Like, with Ted Cruz, he went on vacation during that ice storm, and it's like, well, he was with his family, though.

00:09:23.000 You know, so at the very least, he cares about his family.

00:09:25.000 This is like, the Senator's wife whose husband is a senator, not only fleeing the state, but

00:09:30.000 also fleeing her husband who is, you know, convalesced.

00:09:34.000 That's dark.

00:09:35.000 If he's just depressed, then what is the reason to hospitalize unless they think that he's a danger to himself?

00:09:42.000 Like...

00:09:43.000 I don't know, I guess he checked himself in or something?

00:09:45.000 And if you're depressed, that's the last, like a hospital's the last place you should be.

00:09:49.000 And they would just ship you off to a long-term medical facility that's not a hospital.

00:09:54.000 This guy's a cucumber.

00:09:56.000 He's a cucumber.

00:09:57.000 It just doesn't add up to me.

00:09:59.000 They assigned him this authoritarian-looking schoolteacher woman. 0.86

00:10:03.000 Everybody thought Ruth Bader Ginsburg died that one time.

00:10:06.000 They're like, where is she?

00:10:07.000 And then she pops up a few months later, like, I'm still here.

00:10:07.000 She's dead.

00:10:10.000 And, you know, and so I wouldn't be surprised if Fetterman, you know, pops up later.

00:10:14.000 Because you can't, if someone really was brain dead, then they can't keep that covered up forever.

00:10:20.000 So I wonder if he's... I think injury makes more sense.

00:10:24.000 Recurring injury makes more sense.

00:10:26.000 But I don't know about brain dead or dead.

00:10:27.000 I think depression makes a lot of sense.

00:10:29.000 Whenever someone suffers a head trauma, especially fighters, it's pretty common in the fight, they have all sorts of chemical imbalance.

00:10:36.000 A lot of bad things can happen emotionally to people with head trauma.

00:10:38.000 So if he had a stroke, it's very likely that confusion brings on depression.

00:10:42.000 Maybe.

00:10:43.000 And that could have led to stress.

00:10:44.000 It additionally could have led to another episode or another injury as well.

00:10:49.000 But I wouldn't, I think the depression for sure.

00:10:52.000 What's that thing he's got where he can't understand words anymore?

00:10:55.000 That was the big thing, like, he can hear when you talk, but all he hears is like... That's problematic.

00:11:03.000 Yeah, so during the debates, there was a monitor, and when they would talk, it would translate the text to speech so that he could look at it and then read it and it was causing him problems.

00:11:12.000 Yeah, he had the cheat screen.

00:11:13.000 I wonder if it just got to the point where he's in office, he just can't do the job, and none of us thought he could do the job.

00:11:20.000 And so, you know, he's like... So humiliating.

00:11:24.000 Maybe, look, if he is in the hospital, I would say this, if it's not a recurring injury, then it's political.

00:11:31.000 And they probably said, we can't work with you because your brain's broken.

00:11:36.000 Go to the hospital and take a few weeks to see if you can get your head straight and we'll have your aides take care of the job for you.

00:11:41.000 And we'll send your wife too.

00:11:42.000 Well, I don't know if she fled the gun.

00:11:44.000 She's probably on vacation.

00:11:45.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:11:46.000 Where did she go for vacation? 0.86

00:11:48.000 Canada.

00:11:49.000 In the winter.

00:11:50.000 Canada in the winter is a great- Does she have family there?

00:11:50.000 Canada?

00:11:52.000 Maybe she's got family there. 0.93

00:11:53.000 Here's the story from PennLive.

00:11:55.000 What happens when your husband or father, a senator to boot, checks into the hospital and media trucks circle your home?

00:12:01.000 Pack the kids up and head to Canada, Giselle Fetterman says.

00:12:04.000 Fetterman recently explained on Twitter that she and her kids left Pennsylvania for a family trip to Niagara Falls to get away from the media coverage surrounding her husband's recovery at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

00:12:16.000 Fetterman checked himself in to receive treatment for clinical depression on February 16th, according to his chief of staff, Adam Jentleson.

00:12:23.000 He is there on a voluntary basis, while his family navigates how to deal with the grief that comes with such a hospitalization.

00:12:29.000 Giselle Fetterman said she and her son ziplined across Niagara Falls, and the family did other scary things together.

00:12:35.000 This is just a really, really weird story, isn't it?

00:12:37.000 No.

00:12:37.000 This sounds sick!

00:12:39.000 And the people writing this... Other scary things.

00:12:39.000 It sounds sick!

00:12:41.000 Like, what?

00:12:42.000 Maybe she's leaving him.

00:12:43.000 No, I could see they go into the hospital room and he's, like, incapacitated almost, like, uh... But he's like, I want you to be happy, kind of thing, like, do it.

00:12:52.000 I would go with you if I could.

00:12:53.000 So she's like, okay, we'll do it.

00:12:54.000 We'll go ziplining over Niagara Falls.

00:12:56.000 I would not be able to do that.

00:12:57.000 Does he have, like, a Stephen Hawking, like, voice generator or something?

00:13:01.000 I don't know.

00:13:01.000 He can talk.

00:13:02.000 He just can't understand the words that are said to him.

00:13:04.000 I don't know.

00:13:05.000 He could be in a coma for all I know.

00:13:06.000 That's the rumor.

00:13:06.000 I don't know.

00:13:07.000 We don't know.

00:13:08.000 Remember when Trump got COVID and everyone was like, oh, he's dying.

00:13:12.000 He's dying.

00:13:12.000 They're covering it up.

00:13:14.000 And then all the establishment journalists who didn't want to seem like they were establishment were like, I hope he dies. 0.99

00:13:22.000 Like, they're really ugly people. 0.98

00:13:24.000 I want the best for John Fetterman. 0.97

00:13:25.000 I want him to be healthy, which is why I wanted him to lose.

00:13:28.000 Because no person that just had a stroke should be taking on that kind of mental stress.

00:13:33.000 And obviously, this is why!

00:13:35.000 It's the same thing with Joe Biden.

00:13:36.000 I genuinely feel bad for both Joe Biden and Fetterman.

00:13:40.000 I feel like it's elder abuse, what they're doing.

00:13:42.000 Man, Joe is like... Putting them through the wringer.

00:13:44.000 Neither of you agree with the... Dianne Feinstein's in the hospital right now.

00:13:46.000 But that's shingles.

00:13:47.000 Yeah, but still, like, how old is she? 0.99

00:13:50.000 Can someone look up her age?

00:13:51.000 So okay, so we didn't even bring this up.

00:13:53.000 We should have mentioned this.

00:13:54.000 Dianne Feinstein's in the hospital.

00:13:56.000 The Democratic Party is, with all due respect to the elderly, the geriatric party at this 1.00

00:14:01.000 point.

00:14:02.000 At least Republicans have, like, you know, they're making fun of the Republican Party 0.79

00:14:05.000 and CPAC for the weirdos and the freaks. 0.74

00:14:07.000 You had Joe Scarborough on MSNBC calling them all weirdos and freaks, and I'm like, at least they're, like, young-ish. 0.71

00:14:12.000 Dude, Feinstein's 89.

00:14:14.000 89?!

00:14:15.000 McConnell, she's gonna be 90 in June.

00:14:17.000 Wow!

00:14:18.000 And Nancy Pelosi's still in office, it's just a whole bunch of really old people that are slowly dying. 1.00

00:14:24.000 And young leftists don't like the Democratic Party, so... 0.99

00:14:27.000 And this could finally be the end of this garbage political party. 0.99

00:14:30.000 We need term limits. 0.99

00:14:31.000 We need term limits. 0.99

00:14:32.000 I agree.

00:14:33.000 You know what?

00:14:34.000 Wait, wait, I got it.

00:14:36.000 Party term limits.

00:14:38.000 You mean you gotta change parties at some point?

00:14:39.000 What say you?

00:14:40.000 A Democrat cannot hold the same office longer than two consecutive terms or something like that.

00:14:46.000 Unless they become a Republican?

00:14:48.000 So like, no, no, no, any party.

00:14:50.000 So we do this.

00:14:51.000 If this, any seat, a Senator seat, a Congressional seat, is held by a Democrat for, you know, like, let's say term limits.

00:15:00.000 Member of Congress, they can serve eight years.

00:15:03.000 After those eight years, you can't have the same person or political party.

00:15:08.000 Oh, you gotta switch the whole thing up.

00:15:10.000 Well, you know what I think?

00:15:11.000 I think they should remove the D's and the R's on all of the ballots.

00:15:14.000 Agreed.

00:15:15.000 It should be illegal.

00:15:17.000 Because people will change their name to, like, Hot Lightning and stuff.

00:15:20.000 Or, like, Aaron Anderson.

00:15:22.000 I don't think the biggest issue would be people changing their name to Hot Lightning. 0.99

00:15:26.000 They'll be like, if you can't, you know, if you've got to represent yourself just by a piece of text on a paper when the vote comes to stupid voters or people that ignore you. 0.99

00:15:33.000 John Democrat Smith. 0.99

00:15:34.000 Yeah, they'll be like, best choice will be the name.

00:15:37.000 And they'll be like, how does best choice keep winning the elections? 0.87

00:15:39.000 D is nuts.

00:15:40.000 I'm kind of joking, but I'm concerned that just taking the D and the R off wouldn't be enough because they'd still be names.

00:15:45.000 It's a start.

00:15:46.000 It is a start.

00:15:46.000 You have to put your legal name.

00:15:48.000 So we went to Congress a month ago, and we spent some time down there- Real quick, real quick, sorry.

00:15:53.000 Correction.

00:15:54.000 We're not there this week, we're there next week.

00:15:56.000 Yeah, next Friday.

00:15:57.000 We interviewed them, and I got a vibe of why they don't seem to want term limits, why there's pushback, because it's like a fraternity.

00:16:02.000 You go in and they become such close, tight battle buddies, good friends, that it's almost like losing an arm to see one of them have to go.

00:16:10.000 Like Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, they're tight.

00:16:12.000 And if all of a sudden Lauren disappears, it's like, dude, that's part of our crew, man.

00:16:16.000 It's not just that.

00:16:16.000 They have to build their offices.

00:16:18.000 When we went there, they were explaining how you get an office, and then you have to do remodeling, and you've got to set it up.

00:16:24.000 They give you space.

00:16:24.000 That's all you get.

00:16:25.000 And the staff is all integrated with people of other staffs and stuff.

00:16:29.000 But, you know, that's not enough reason to not have term limits, in my opinion.

00:16:33.000 I just see why there's resistance to it now.

00:16:35.000 Party term limits.

00:16:36.000 And bureaucrat term limits. 0.99

00:16:38.000 I think the party term limit thing is, we could even one-up it and say, a Democrat, a member of a party, or I should say a political party cannot have a member serve within, like we do a gap term.

00:16:53.000 So if a Democrat is in office for eight terms, then it can't be a Democrat for the next eight terms.

00:16:59.000 And it could only be... So basically, yeah, that is... After that, it can be the Democrats again.

00:17:03.000 So there's eight years where it's not the Democratic Party.

00:17:05.000 That means they'll have to be a third party, because if a Democrat district has their person term out, they're not going to vote Republican.

00:17:13.000 So it's got to be a different political party.

00:17:14.000 And that could mean there ends up with... We end up with like four or five different political parties that are very similar, but whatever, I'll take it.

00:17:21.000 Break up the duopoly of the private political organizations that control everything.

00:17:27.000 Mmm, we're overdue for that.

00:17:29.000 Has that ever happened on Earth?

00:17:30.000 In any government?

00:17:31.000 That the same party can't hold power?

00:17:33.000 I don't know.

00:17:35.000 Multiple terms?

00:17:35.000 No idea.

00:17:36.000 Let's, uh, let's rag on Joe Biden, how about that?

00:17:38.000 We got this story from Fox News.

00:17:40.000 How dare you! 0.99

00:17:42.000 Mother of two sons who died from fentanyl demands Biden apologize for laughing about her story. 0.82

00:17:48.000 Don't be a coward, do something, Kiesling said in response to President Biden.

00:17:51.000 So here's the story.

00:17:53.000 This woman had two of her sons die in summer of 2020.

00:17:57.000 They took some pills they thought were Percocet, they were laced with fentanyl, they died.

00:18:01.000 She's very upset about it.

00:18:02.000 And the drugs apparently came over the southern border, a problem for which Donald Trump was trying to solve, and actually campaigned on solving in 2015, a problem that existed under the Obama-Biden administration.

00:18:14.000 So, Marjorie Taylor Greene interviews this woman.

00:18:17.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene then tweets out, basically, Biden's policies resulted in this, and then, like, these people died.

00:18:23.000 And then Biden, when asked about it, starts laughing, saying, that was under the other guy.

00:18:27.000 That was under the Trump administration.

00:18:30.000 So, she's pissed. 0.93

00:18:31.000 Obviously, her kids are dead.

00:18:32.000 And the important point in this whole story is that Donald Trump inherits Joe Biden's administration.

00:18:38.000 It's Obama's administration, but Biden's the VP.

00:18:41.000 Trump, he's campaigning in 2015 like we gotta secure the border.

00:18:45.000 We gotta stop the drug cartels.

00:18:46.000 What happens?

00:18:47.000 The media calls him racist.

00:18:49.000 Okay, the Biden administration comes back in after the fact.

00:18:53.000 The border collapses.

00:18:54.000 They claimed when Donald Trump was desperately trying to get funding to build the wall that he was racist and they shouldn't do it and it wouldn't work anyway.

00:19:01.000 So here you have Joe Biden laughing that these two kids who died, died while Trump was president despite the fact that Trump was trying to fix the problem.

00:19:09.000 So I imagine it like this.

00:19:11.000 Joe Biden and Barack Obama are in charge of the fire department when a bunch of fires erupt, and they don't do anything about it.

00:19:18.000 And then Donald Trump says, give me the fire hose and I'll put the fire out.

00:19:22.000 Trump then starts desperately spraying these buildings trying to stop the fire, and then after a few years, Biden comes back, takes it from them, and then laughs at all the people who died in that fire.

00:19:32.000 Yeah, they were like, are you anti-fire, Donald?

00:19:35.000 Are you fire-phobic?

00:19:38.000 Yes, I guess.

00:19:39.000 They said when Trump is like, China's sending drugs, they're like, you can't say that, that's racist.

00:19:44.000 Then these kids die and Biden's like, haha, that was Trump.

00:19:47.000 Is there video of him laughing?

00:19:48.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, he was giving a speech.

00:19:51.000 I don't know if he was laughing in a malicious way.

00:19:54.000 He's just not present of mind.

00:19:56.000 Yeah, I don't think he was doing.

00:19:57.000 He wasn't necessarily laughing at the woman.

00:20:00.000 He was laughing and mocking Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:20:02.000 But it's like the context of it is Marjorie Taylor Greene says these two young men died because of these border policies.

00:20:10.000 And it's Biden's fault.

00:20:11.000 And Biden's like, no, it wasn't Trump was president.

00:20:13.000 It's like, dude, you were the vice president before Trump got in, and Trump literally campaigned on stopping a problem that was happening under your administration.

00:20:21.000 How do you blame Trump for that?

00:20:23.000 He doesn't understand because Hunter knew where to get the clean ones.

00:20:26.000 That's right.

00:20:27.000 Yeah, he's got connections.

00:20:28.000 I think the Democrats are the party of short-term gains, so they will let the border crisis keep going if it gives them a short-term benefit in terms of economic, you know, puffing back economic numbers.

00:20:40.000 But then he gives his State of the Union address and says, well, we gotta fix the crisis at the border.

00:20:44.000 We had over 70,000 fentanyl deaths.

00:20:47.000 As if he actually cares when they're the ones creating this problem and throwing gasoline on the dumpster fire at the border.

00:20:53.000 But he did say that at the State of the Union, he pretended to care.

00:20:56.000 At least for a moment.

00:20:57.000 Can we just, can I just, you know, we got- Someone else wrote that, though.

00:21:00.000 Joe Biden- So.

00:21:02.000 Joe Biden laughed at the story, and it's just, it was a layup.

00:21:07.000 It was so easy.

00:21:08.000 Someone could have come to him and said we got a really, really great opportunity to boost your approval rating.

00:21:12.000 It's really, really great.

00:21:13.000 This Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking to this mother whose children died because of the border crisis.

00:21:19.000 This is a perfect opportunity for you to win some points.

00:21:21.000 All you got to do is say, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to your children.

00:21:26.000 Trust me when I say I will do whatever it takes to seek justice and make sure we end the fentanyl crisis.

00:21:32.000 We are working very hard.

00:21:33.000 I'm sorry we let you down, but trust me, we'll get the job done.

00:21:36.000 Couldn't he just do that?

00:21:37.000 Like, does he have anybody- Don't even have to mean it.

00:21:39.000 No, I know.

00:21:40.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:21:41.000 Like, just give us some empty platitudes about, trust me, we're working hard.

00:21:44.000 No, he left!

00:21:44.000 You don't even need a plan.

00:21:46.000 Nothing.

00:21:46.000 But look, look, here's a guy who took a secret trip to Ukraine with half a billion dollars while the East Palestine crisis was happening, and there's toxic chemicals spilling, and he's just like, well, better go to Ukraine.

00:21:56.000 That's what matters, you know, to me, I guess.

00:21:59.000 So, I'm just kind of bummed.

00:22:01.000 Yeah, I want to insult him.

00:22:04.000 Yeah, do it.

00:22:05.000 I don't think it's an insult. 0.99

00:22:06.000 He's a bit of a prick. 0.99

00:22:08.000 I'm going to call him a dismissive prick is what I want to call him. 0.99

00:22:11.000 But like, I've seen him just be like, laugh and dismiss people. 0.70

00:22:15.000 Like, oh, come on.

00:22:16.000 Matt Walsh would be proud.

00:22:17.000 And like, he just laughed and did the whole dismissive thing on Marjorie, which is what this sounds like, is like, that's the laughing and dismissal kind of thing.

00:22:25.000 I've seen him do it to people that are like, hey, like people, his constituents yelling at him when he was on the campaign trail.

00:22:30.000 I remember him get up in a guy's face one time.

00:22:32.000 He called him fat, didn't he?

00:22:33.000 And he challenged him to a push-up contest.

00:22:36.000 Wait, who?

00:22:37.000 Biden did?

00:22:37.000 Joe Biden, yeah.

00:22:38.000 He challenged him to a push-up contest. 0.61

00:22:40.000 He got in that guy's face and called him fat.

00:22:41.000 You know what's funny is that Trump's actually been doing better.

00:22:46.000 One of the things about Trump that I know a lot of people liked, but a lot of people who voted for him really didn't like was his brash attitude.

00:22:54.000 He was He was divisive.

00:22:55.000 You know, he'd call people names.

00:22:57.000 He'd insult them.

00:22:58.000 Now what are we seeing from Trump?

00:23:00.000 He's putting out videos that are just like straightforward policy.

00:23:03.000 Corporate press is calling it a traditional campaign, or more so a traditional campaign.

00:23:08.000 And Joe Biden is just laughing about these problems like he's not even planning on running anyway.

00:23:13.000 Maybe that's really it, maybe he's just saying he's gonna run, but you know he's not, he doesn't care.

00:23:16.000 That's why Kamala laughs. 1.00

00:23:16.000 What's incredible, too, is they give Marjorie so much crap for how she acted at the State of the Union, because she called him a liar. 1.00

00:23:25.000 But now he laughs in the face of this mother whose two kids died, and silence, except from Fox News. 1.00

00:23:32.000 He laughs, Hillary Clinton laughs wickedly, Kamala Harris laughs like an idiot. 1.00

00:23:38.000 Hillary Clinton laughs wickedly because she's wicked. 1.00

00:23:41.000 Joe Biden laughs because he is... Demented. 0.99

00:23:45.000 Demented.

00:23:45.000 And none of those laughs are because of funny stuff.

00:23:47.000 There's a big difference.

00:23:48.000 None of it's because a joke was told and they're laughing in response.

00:23:51.000 Kamala Harris will just be like... Oh my gosh, Kamala Harris's laugh is the most witchy laugh I've ever heard. 0.97

00:23:57.000 It starts off deep.

00:23:58.000 Did you see the girl did the Kamala Harris impression?

00:24:01.000 She's like, no, no, it starts off deep.

00:24:04.000 Just think about the psychological makeup of a career prosecutor.

00:24:09.000 It's like, no, eight years isn't enough.

00:24:11.000 Throw in for 30! 0.89

00:24:13.000 To have that amount of power right now and to be laughing about stuff is insane to me.

00:24:18.000 I understand humor.

00:24:19.000 We're human.

00:24:20.000 It's part of what we are.

00:24:21.000 But like, I think they're laughing because they have no vision of how to solve these problems.

00:24:26.000 I think we should just accept it, though.

00:24:28.000 That's who they are.

00:24:29.000 They're laughing at us.

00:24:30.000 They're laughing at us while we die because of problems they create.

00:24:35.000 What were you saying?

00:24:38.000 Say it one more time.

00:24:40.000 Oh, I said they're laughing at us, and we should just accept it.

00:24:43.000 This is who they are.

00:24:43.000 They're laughing at us while our children die because of problems they created.

00:24:47.000 Yep, but while they're laughing at us, they're also turning around and going, these poor people in Ukraine, don't you care about the Ukrainians?

00:24:54.000 And I'm like, I mean, personally, I know... They're so disconnected from what matters to normal people.

00:24:59.000 I mean, yes, they're emotionally attached to people in a country they can't find on a map, but their own country they just don't care about.

00:25:08.000 Is this the most morally obvious thing to take a stand on?

00:25:11.000 I think it's— Lowest effort.

00:25:13.000 It's different than that, though.

00:25:14.000 You said they're disconnected.

00:25:15.000 I don't think they're disconnected at all.

00:25:17.000 They know people are starving.

00:25:18.000 They know people can't afford to eat, they can't afford to live here, and they're choosing to care about these other things.

00:25:23.000 They're choosing to laugh in the face of— They know all these things, but they're not personally connected to it.

00:25:28.000 I remember there was this professor from Columbia or something who years ago published a book about how he's a functional heroin user.

00:25:37.000 Mike is popping. He's like a functional heroin user and he's he's not an addict. He's just a user but

00:25:42.000 he's obviously like you know not connected to the experience of people who in

00:25:49.000 the opioid crisis are on these drugs because you know, they're on the track to a death of despair and

00:25:57.000 And he's also sourcing his heroin, like, in a way that's safe because of his socioeconomic status.

00:26:04.000 And then he publishes a book that completely downplays the gravity of this crisis because he's not really a part of it, you know?

00:26:14.000 And he's also a libertine, like, amoral academic, so he doesn't have any morals.

00:26:20.000 Who's this guy?

00:26:20.000 I don't remember what his name was.

00:26:21.000 He was just some, like, professor, wrote a book that was basically about, like, how he thinks that harm reduction is the best solution to the opioid crisis, but also, like, you can use drugs, like, you can use narcotics safely If you don't have like pre existing mental conditions, which is he basically denied that.

00:26:50.000 That opiates have a pharmacological element of, like, addictiveness, which is obviously untrue.

00:26:56.000 Was it that doctor with the dreadlocks?

00:26:58.000 Carl something?

00:26:59.000 I don't remember.

00:27:00.000 Yeah, I don't remember.

00:27:00.000 I never saw a picture of him.

00:27:01.000 I just heard about it.

00:27:03.000 This is why top-down governance doesn't work.

00:27:05.000 Why central planning doesn't work.

00:27:06.000 Because you lose touch with the people that you're not around.

00:27:09.000 You need to let them govern themselves from a distance.

00:27:12.000 You have to.

00:27:13.000 That's a mix, man.

00:27:14.000 There's gotta be some plan for, like, national defense.

00:27:17.000 Like, the original idea of federalism, you know?

00:27:19.000 There's a federal government, but it's fairly weak, and the states mostly take care of their own business.

00:27:23.000 The problem is, as a culture, we're just too different.

00:27:27.000 I suppose if you go back to the foundings of this country, most people just wanted to be left alone, and that worked really well.

00:27:34.000 Like, if you're in, you know, a new state or whatever, you're like, look, I'm here, I'm doing my thing, leave me alone.

00:27:39.000 The problem now is you have authoritarian ideologues in places like California that want authority over Texas and New York.

00:27:45.000 Or, you know, New York and California basically agree on the same things.

00:27:47.000 So they want authority over Texas and Florida.

00:27:49.000 So Texas and Florida can sit there all day and night and be like, we hereby agree to be left alone and we'll leave you alone.

00:27:54.000 And California goes, you got it, buddy. 0.98

00:27:56.000 And then as soon as they turn around, they go, start screwing with them.

00:27:59.000 So I don't know if there's a classical liberal solution to the problem we're facing, right?

00:28:06.000 In times of war, Like, I'll put it this way.

00:28:10.000 Anarchist societies don't work, right?

00:28:12.000 We can talk about, I think, Catalonia, the famous anarchist attempt at a country.

00:28:17.000 I forgot what the story was.

00:28:19.000 But they try to create this anarchist enclave and it gets crushed instantly by barbaric outside forces.

00:28:25.000 If you've got a hundred, you know, guild members who vote on policy because that's an anarchist system, everybody comes together and they wiggle their fingers, and then next door you've got an authoritarian regime where one guy dictates everything, what do you think's gonna happen?

00:28:41.000 The one guy dictating everything is gonna say to his military, crush them.

00:28:45.000 And then, when the anarchist people see the barbarians heading towards the city, they go, we're under attack, quick, what do we do?

00:28:52.000 And they're like, well, we're anarchists, we don't believe in centralized planning, so let's hold a meeting and have a discussion on how we approach this attack.

00:28:58.000 And then, a day later, they're overrun and they're all dead.

00:29:01.000 You know, you could have some kind of mixed system where in times of emergency they elect an executor who can then take over and become a temporary emperor like we saw with, I think it was, Cincinnatus.

00:29:11.000 Was that his name?

00:29:13.000 Yeah.

00:29:13.000 He was like, right, he's like, I don't want to be an emperor.

00:29:15.000 And they're like, well, we're in an emergency and we need one now to act with executive, you know, emergency powers.

00:29:20.000 And then after like, what, like two weeks, he was like, I'm a farmer again.

00:29:23.000 I don't want to do this.

00:29:24.000 And it's like a, it's like an epic story.

00:29:26.000 But the issue is, In times of crisis and emergency, we fall into executive decision-making.

00:29:31.000 We don't just sit back and say, let's vote on it!

00:29:34.000 So, right now as we're dealing with a cult, ideological, authoritarian, and terroristic regime, there is no passive voting your way out of a conflict with these people.

00:29:46.000 They're firebombing buildings, they're sterilizing kids. 0.99

00:29:49.000 Vote, like, there's no peaceful, let's all come together and have a decision.

00:29:53.000 No, it's gonna be, for now, I think the solution is probably hard legislation and law enforcement.

00:29:58.000 No more, you know, we gotta be tolerant of the adult man thrusting his hips in front of that baby. 1.00

00:30:05.000 No, that's a crime, and that person should probably be arrested and charged, and it's about time we stop passively saying, we'll just let them do their thing, because it doesn't bother us.

00:30:12.000 Hey, look, we're here in Texas, and in Texas we have laws, but if California wants to do it, that's California's business.

00:30:18.000 That's federalism.

00:30:19.000 And that's what people are arguing for, and I'm kind of like, nah, maybe the federal government should be like, there's a standard, and you can't have adult sex shows for children, so we're gonna stop that.

00:30:27.000 But too many conservatives are telling me that civil war can't happen, the country would be crushed, China would take over, fair point, I agree. 1.00

00:30:34.000 And then they say federalism is the answer.

00:30:36.000 Let the states do what they want.

00:30:37.000 And I'm like, why? 0.97

00:30:38.000 So California can start having sex shows for kids? 1.00

00:30:40.000 Like, they've been doing that. 0.85

00:30:41.000 They're doing it in Texas.

00:30:43.000 I don't see a classical liberal solution to this.

00:30:45.000 There's going to have to be a centralized baseline morality that we all agree on.

00:30:52.000 And then we enforce the law.

00:30:53.000 And we're seeing it in California now with the gender transition stuff, making that a safe haven for kids to go to California.

00:31:00.000 So if you can't get it in Texas, you can go over to California and get it done.

00:31:04.000 Just like abortion. 0.81

00:31:05.000 Right.

00:31:06.000 So this idea of federalism just means that you're going to have states that do things that are Morally abhorrent.

00:31:13.000 But you're going to have two factions.

00:31:14.000 If you want to avoid civil war, the answer is have the laws be enforced at the federal level.

00:31:20.000 California cannot just let illegal immigrants come into the state and there's nothing done about it. 1.00

00:31:25.000 The problem is the selective enforcement, which is probably useful because like marijuana, schedule one narcotic. 0.99

00:31:30.000 Are you insane? 0.96

00:31:31.000 It's a plan. 1.00

00:31:32.000 It's like a plant.

00:31:33.000 Like, don't OD on it, but they're obviously—William Randolph Hearst wanted to get that stuff made illegal in the late 20s, early 30s, to get his paper empires.

00:31:40.000 He owned all the trees.

00:31:41.000 He was tired of printing on hemp.

00:31:43.000 He wanted to print on his trees.

00:31:44.000 So he manipulated Harry Anslinger and Congress to make it a narcotic.

00:31:48.000 Federal 1 scheduled narcotic.

00:31:51.000 That's insane, and if the federal government goes into California to bust them up for selling weed, I do not agree with that overreach of federal law.

00:31:58.000 Yeah, but that's something that's debatable.

00:32:00.000 These issues like drag queens thrusting in front of kids shouldn't be. 1.00

00:32:04.000 Now, I think it should be debated.

00:32:07.000 It has to be debated now because of it.

00:32:10.000 I don't think there should be any debate.

00:32:11.000 I'm not willing to have a conversation or hear anyone side on why you think a man dressed as a woman who's wearing a thong and leather get-ups should be reading to our children. 0.99

00:32:22.000 Reading?

00:32:23.000 We're well past that.

00:32:24.000 Dancing, thrusting, pulsing, they're doing all of this.

00:32:26.000 So we talked about Bill Maher the other day.

00:32:29.000 He's got that clip on CNN where he said the transgender activists have gone too far.

00:32:33.000 And there was a bit of context that I think we missed.

00:32:35.000 Because Jake Tapper says, yes, but what the trans activists would say is that now they're trying to ban all of this stuff regardless of what the kid or the doctor says.

00:32:44.000 And Bill Maher says, well, perhaps that backlash went too far.

00:32:47.000 Well, hold on there a minute, Bill.

00:32:49.000 Bill Maher actually said, the banning of child sex change surgery went too far.

00:32:54.000 When did Bill Maher start being in favor of children getting sex change operations?

00:32:59.000 He's, because he's defending it now, saying, no, no, no, that's too much, that's too much, we should allow that.

00:33:04.000 And I'm just like, within the span of a couple years, like literally two years, we went from, there are no child sex change surgeries, to, they are but they're rare, to, the backlash against it is going too far and it should be completely legal for all children.

00:33:18.000 The pace is incredible in which this all became widely accepted.

00:33:23.000 And it's because, I blame cops, but this is probably part of the weakening of institutions, defund the police. 0.59

00:33:28.000 Now you have in Texas, the famous story was they were doing the adult sex show for children, where it said like it's not going to lick itself and all that.

00:33:35.000 And then the cops were like, well, you know, I can't get involved in this kind of stuff.

00:33:39.000 And it's just like, are you kidding me? 0.97

00:33:41.000 There are adult men with fake sex organs dancing for children with a big sign that says it's not going to lick itself. 0.99

00:33:48.000 And you're just going to stand there. 0.98

00:33:51.000 Well, you know, they, it's, But they shut down that woman in Texas for operating her salon during COVID. 0.93

00:33:57.000 Yep.

00:33:58.000 That's why I've been like, abolish the police.

00:34:01.000 Look at all the major news that's been coming out for the past several years.

00:34:05.000 There was a woman who opened a cafe in Minnesota, and it was against the COVID rules, so they hunted her down and arrested her. 0.97

00:34:12.000 Yet you can have adult men with fake genitals thrusting in front of children 0.98

00:34:16.000 with a big neon sign saying it's not gonna lick itself and the cops are like, 0.99

00:34:20.000 well, no, you know, we can't get involved in this.

00:34:21.000 And people are like, back the blue baby.

00:34:23.000 I'm like, okay, sure, I guess.

00:34:24.000 People have actual pride in this country and like its founding principles

00:34:28.000 have less and less incentive to become cops and also military service members.

00:34:33.000 So like more and more, it's just going to be corrupt power hungry people

00:34:38.000 in the police force anyway.

00:34:40.000 But aside from that, like, are we not gonna recognize the relationship between like

00:34:45.000 accepting adult sex change surgeries, that starting us on the path

00:34:50.000 to accepting the child sex change surgeries?

00:34:53.000 Like that's where it starts.

00:34:55.000 Well, the interesting thing about that that I've been talking about is,

00:34:59.000 It's the one DSM-5 disorder where we decide to affirm, right?

00:35:05.000 If you're body dysmorphic and you want to remove a hand, we say no.

00:35:09.000 If you're anorexic, we say no.

00:35:10.000 If you're morbidly obese, well, we're starting to say yes to that.

00:35:13.000 I don't say we, but body positivity.

00:35:15.000 If you are cutting, we say no.

00:35:17.000 If you have pica, where you're like eating pennies, we say no. 1.00

00:35:22.000 But... 0.97

00:35:23.000 If you want to remove your junk, we say okay.

00:35:25.000 And I have to wonder if it's because there are people who are thinking about, like, well, you know, they want to have kids, so that works out.

00:35:31.000 Like, that's their mentality.

00:35:32.000 But I just don't... I'm genuinely asking why it is that for all of the dysmorphic disorders and all of the general DSM-5 disorders, the one we affirm is the one that sterilizes people.

00:35:44.000 You know, like, when someone's anorexic, we don't say, go to the doctor and get your Ozempic and your pills.

00:35:49.000 We say, you better start eating.

00:35:50.000 The doctor says, start eating.

00:35:52.000 The top two issues for the Democrats right now are abortion and the transgender-affirming care.

00:35:58.000 Why do we affirm this one?

00:36:00.000 You know, like, I was talking about this the other day.

00:36:02.000 I tweeted it.

00:36:03.000 When someone, they say like, oh, but if we don't give them the care, they're at high risk for suicide.

00:36:08.000 And I was like, oh yeah, that's called a 5150. 0.94

00:36:10.000 If someone is presenting signs of self-harm, they get involuntarily committed so they can receive treatment to stop them from wanting to harm themselves.

00:36:18.000 We try to save them from this.

00:36:20.000 If somebody is standing on a bridge About to climb over the railing, people run up and grab them and pull them up.

00:36:25.000 They don't say, well, I better affirm their decision, why don't you?

00:36:27.000 But they're starting to with medical assistance and dying.

00:36:29.000 Well, there's an increasing push to, yeah, to accept assisted suicide and euthanasia.

00:36:34.000 Suicide blues were a joke then.

00:36:37.000 And also, like, I see people talking about accepting mental illnesses as well, like, as just a fact of your life that is not circumstantial.

00:36:46.000 You know, if you're depressed and you, you know, don't want to get out of bed or brush your teeth, then, you know, that's a disability and you should get government money for it, basically.

00:36:57.000 Like, that's a condition you were born with.

00:36:59.000 Did you see that viral TikTok where the, I think it's a woman, she's like, why do I have to work full-time just to live? 0.99

00:37:06.000 And it's like, seriously, that's their attitude.

00:37:09.000 I'm like, entropy, I guess?

00:37:10.000 Oxidization?

00:37:12.000 Your body falls apart unless you do?

00:37:14.000 It's like, That's because office job work, like normal corporate America work, is kind of soul-sucking, so I get why she said it.

00:37:22.000 I gotta be honest, if, you know, I was about to enter the gates of eternity, and they said there's one where you're sitting in an office all day and one where you have to hunt and forage for survival, I'd go with the hunting and foraging.

00:37:32.000 Exactly, yeah.

00:37:33.000 That's, that's for me!

00:37:34.000 Have you ever hunted?

00:37:36.000 It's, I don't know, that's a lot of... Well, I wouldn't, nothing like... You never know if... Yeah, it's...

00:37:40.000 You don't know if you're going to eat.

00:37:41.000 You don't know if you're going to find food.

00:37:42.000 Right, what I'm saying is like, if I had to choose a life between farming, how about that, and office work, I'd choose farming.

00:37:51.000 Okay.

00:37:52.000 Oh man, we've all seen office space.

00:37:56.000 The office work is pretty good.

00:37:57.000 Like, it's a fair point.

00:37:58.000 These people are going into jobs and they're just like, I sit here staring and doing nothing, but this remedial garbage is boring.

00:38:04.000 They're also overqualified, and like, knowing too much is torturous.

00:38:10.000 When, like, you're not really put to use in society, you're given this, like, meaningless email job that you know is useless and isn't a building block to anything important.

00:38:20.000 Of course people are going to end up depressed and they're going to wonder, like, why am I even working anymore?

00:38:25.000 But they won't exercise!

00:38:26.000 The Federal Reserve really wants people to work.

00:38:28.000 This jobs economy where they're like, we need jobs, jobs, jobs.

00:38:31.000 You dig the hole.

00:38:32.000 Now you fill the hole back up.

00:38:34.000 We're going to pay you both with our funny money and you owe us interest on the money we gave you.

00:38:38.000 Now go.

00:38:39.000 And that's what they want.

00:38:40.000 They have people doing menial, almost sometimes even useless, literally.

00:38:43.000 Fill it up.

00:38:44.000 Dig it.

00:38:45.000 Fill it up.

00:38:45.000 Dig it.

00:38:45.000 Fill it up.

00:38:46.000 As long as to keep people are busy.

00:38:47.000 I love this leftist meme where they're like, did you know that in medieval times people didn't work?

00:38:52.000 And they had, you know, what did they say?

00:38:53.000 Like 50 days?

00:38:54.000 It was a communist utopia.

00:38:55.000 Yeah.

00:38:55.000 They say that the medieval peasants had like 50 days of vacation and only worked like four hours a day and stuff like that.

00:39:01.000 By the way, because they were religious, they observed religious holidays.

00:39:04.000 It's not vacation.

00:39:05.000 But it's not just that.

00:39:06.000 It's like, you know, I loved telling the story of my Occupy friend who went to work on a farm to reduce their carbon footprint.

00:39:13.000 They lasted two weeks.

00:39:15.000 And they said it was because they were working sunup to sundown.

00:39:16.000 It's like you wake up, you work, then you work until it's dark and you go to bed.

00:39:20.000 And it's like what happened with Chaz.

00:39:22.000 They were like, this is too much work to have an autonomous zone.

00:39:25.000 Or with Occupy, their inability to govern.

00:39:30.000 So with Occupy Wall Street, they tried doing the Anarchist General Council or whatever, but when it didn't work, they were like, okay, we can't figure out how to find unanimity.

00:39:44.000 Unanimity?

00:39:45.000 Yeah, something like that.

00:39:46.000 But it is unanimous.

00:39:48.000 In order for there to be a functioning anarchist society, everyone has to agree with minimal dissent.

00:39:54.000 That meant when they were trying to make a decision, you could have one or two dissenters, but it had to be like 95% of people in agreement.

00:40:01.000 And when one bad idea got into that group, it spread like fire, or had the potential to, and then all of a sudden you get 98% of the people are like, bad idea now. And but what ended up happening was, you had

00:40:11.000 a handful of people who knew for a fact if we don't get bins

00:40:15.000 to store clothing, they're getting there. It's right. It's

00:40:18.000 getting soggy wet. It's growing mildew. It's getting filthy and our

00:40:21.000 food is spoiling. We need bins to seal this stuff from the rain.

00:40:26.000 And they couldn't get it done. Because every time they would

00:40:28.000 say we want to use funds to buy bins, they'd be like, no, plastics are bad for the environment. No, it's got to be

00:40:34.000 recycled. It's got to be fair trade. It's got to come from a

00:40:36.000 mom and pop shop. And so they finally agreed, okay, you can get the bins so long as they're fair trade recycled, not

00:40:43.000 from a box store.

00:40:45.000 And they couldn't find that.

00:40:46.000 It was impossible.

00:40:47.000 So what did they do?

00:40:47.000 They just went and bought from Walmart or whatever, whatever they could find.

00:40:51.000 And then just didn't tell anybody.

00:40:53.000 Because the anarchist system just literally didn't work.

00:40:55.000 You couldn't find it.

00:40:57.000 And so when it came to that system being broken, a bunch of these facilitators were like, how about we create a new system called the Spokes Council?

00:41:03.000 Well, the problem was, it was a general assembly.

00:41:06.000 Nobody would agree.

00:41:07.000 They were like, no, you are not changing the system because you can't get what you want.

00:41:10.000 So then one day there was a funniest thing ever.

00:41:12.000 They all say all in favor of the new spokes council system.

00:41:16.000 And like two thirds of the people clap.

00:41:18.000 And then the third are like blocking and saying no.

00:41:20.000 And the guy goes, let me count.

00:41:22.000 Yeah, we passed, it worked!

00:41:23.000 And then it was just like, no it didn't, you're just saying that, and people went along with it.

00:41:27.000 Because like, what are you supposed to do?

00:41:28.000 The guy talking said it happened, it happened.

00:41:30.000 The last night I was at Occupy at that, with the council, we were working on, they wanted to build a decentralized Craigslist kind of thing, where you could send items to people that need it, like protesters, and that was the idea.

00:41:41.000 Maybe a technological solution is the way to develop anarchy.

00:41:45.000 I don't know whatever happened to it, though.

00:41:46.000 A decentralized Craigslist.

00:41:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:41:50.000 I guess Craigslist itself is not technically decentralized on a bunch of servers, but the idea is you work with the seller, you don't have to go through a central portal, so it's a bit redundant.

00:41:58.000 It's like Craigslist for philanthropic causes?

00:42:00.000 Yeah, it was supposed to be.

00:42:01.000 By the way, the rants and raves section on Craigslist is top tier.

00:42:07.000 Better than Twitter.

00:42:08.000 Yeah?

00:42:08.000 I love it.

00:42:09.000 Maybe we should make a show based on that.

00:42:11.000 Craigslist?

00:42:11.000 Just reading Craigslist rants and finding good ones.

00:42:14.000 You ever read, like, the Missed Connections?

00:42:15.000 Yeah.

00:42:17.000 Me and my friends used to make fake ones.

00:42:19.000 Saw you at the studio, but you were deep in the computer.

00:42:22.000 We had one where it was like, I see you all the time.

00:42:25.000 I saw you at work.

00:42:26.000 I don't think you noticed me.

00:42:27.000 And then, like, it increasingly got darker and darker, where it was like, I remember seeing you walk home.

00:42:32.000 You were so beautiful.

00:42:33.000 I don't know if you've noticed me, but I want to give you my number.

00:42:36.000 I was, you know, standing outside your house.

00:42:37.000 I looked through your window.

00:42:38.000 Things like that.

00:42:39.000 Just really funny.

00:42:40.000 But actually, it sounds like a really good idea.

00:42:41.000 We should write that down.

00:42:42.000 Like, commenting on Craigslist rants.

00:42:46.000 You're actually writing it down?

00:42:48.000 Yeah.

00:42:50.000 Let's jump to this story.

00:42:50.000 This one's a good one.

00:42:51.000 So we have this, uh, fact check from WTHR.

00:42:55.000 Viral video of Biden saying he's reinstating the draft is a deepfake.

00:42:59.000 In the video, President Joe Biden appears to say he's reinstating the draft so the U.S.

00:43:03.000 can help defend Ukraine against Russian forces.

00:43:05.000 The video is a deepfake.

00:43:07.000 I love that this was fact-checked because it was made by Turning Point.

00:43:11.000 It was on Jack Posobiec's show.

00:43:13.000 And he outright says that it's not a real, he explains, we're showing you of what is to come, and it's meant to be provocative, and then the media's like, uh-oh, people might think this is real.

00:43:26.000 All right, well, here's why I think this is worth talking about.

00:43:29.000 Election season's coming up.

00:43:31.000 We are going to see deepfakes, and they are going to improve at the speed of maximum economic investment.

00:43:38.000 And they're gonna be hilarious.

00:43:40.000 Yeah, but some of them are gonna be scary.

00:43:41.000 But yeah, hilarious too.

00:43:42.000 Like the one of Joe Biden and Trump playing Overwatch was one of the funniest.

00:43:46.000 They keep making them. 0.99

00:43:47.000 There's one with Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson, and then Elon comes in and he's like, you sons of bitches, I can't fight the boss. 0.98

00:43:54.000 The Overwatch one was just too good. 0.98

00:43:57.000 No, but the Overwatch one was good.

00:43:58.000 He was like, Jesus Christ, I come in here trying to get a quick cue and it's Bidenator and it's Trump saying it.

00:44:03.000 But no, what I think we're gonna see is, how much money do they invest in presidential elections?

00:44:10.000 It's got to be what, billions?

00:44:11.000 Billions.

00:44:13.000 I think Obama was a billion.

00:44:14.000 So now, imagine how much money is going to be on both sides for an election, especially with how crazy things are getting in this country.

00:44:21.000 And they are going to be investing, people are going to invest tens of millions into advancing deepfake technology.

00:44:27.000 I guarantee it right now.

00:44:29.000 Some political person, I don't care what political party, saw this and they said, if we can make this impeccable, we will never lose another election again.

00:44:39.000 And so they're meeting right now with deepfake companies saying, and I bet a lot of it is totally like seemingly on the level.

00:44:47.000 Some guy who's got nefarious intentions goes to an AI company and says, hey, I want to invest, you know, a billion dollars into the development of the technology.

00:44:54.000 And they go, wow, that's really great.

00:44:55.000 Thank you for the funding.

00:44:56.000 And what they intend to do with it is make realistic videos that are indistinguishable.

00:45:01.000 And so my fear is Not that you'll see a video go viral of Joe Biden reinstating the draft.

00:45:07.000 Why?

00:45:07.000 Well, people are going to be like, get out of here.

00:45:09.000 That's a deepfake.

00:45:09.000 He never did.

00:45:10.000 But what they'll do is, you'll have a real video of Donald Trump saying, we should condemn them totally, referring to white supremacists and neo-Nazis, and what they'll do is they'll make an impeccable deepfake replica where he should say, and some of them should be condemned totally!

00:45:27.000 A very minor difference, but a drastic change in the context.

00:45:31.000 And then you run it on CNN, and then if they get caught, they're just like, we didn't know.

00:45:35.000 And it's not even that.

00:45:36.000 They're going to say, that's the video.

00:45:38.000 And then Trump's going to sue and say, that is not what was said.

00:45:41.000 Here's the actual report.

00:45:42.000 And you're going to say, look, there's 12 different videos, all seemingly of the exact same thing.

00:45:47.000 We don't know which one's the real one.

00:45:49.000 Because everybody knows Trump gave the speech.

00:45:51.000 Everybody knows Trump says something about condemning Nazis.

00:45:55.000 But the only difference is they should be and some of them should be.

00:45:58.000 It's like a weapon.

00:45:59.000 It's like a strike first kind of thing.

00:46:00.000 Like the ethics of striking first is You know, beyond me, I don't like them.

00:46:05.000 What's going to happen is, Democrats will share the video of Trump going, and I'm not talking about the white nationalists because some of them should be condemned totally, and they're going to go, he said some of them!

00:46:15.000 Like, he's implying there may be some good ones there, and they're all going to share it, and it's going to infect that bubble, and then you're going to get the right being like, no, no, he said they should be, he's talking about all of them, and there's going to be two different versions of one news event existing for both different political factions.

00:46:32.000 So it's going to be no different than it is now.

00:46:35.000 I mean, that's very different.

00:46:36.000 They're listening to the same thing.

00:46:39.000 Yes, but you can still... So I was at a family holiday event, and I was talking about how China was potentially getting access to the DNA from COVID tests.

00:46:50.000 And, you know, one individual was like, what, get out of here, that's BS, that's not true, you can't say that.

00:46:55.000 And then I just pulled up my phone, pulled up NPR, reporting it, and I handed it to them and they read it and they went, oh wow, I didn't know that.

00:47:00.000 And I'm like, you're sitting here thinking I'm wrong about this, I was just citing NPR of all sources.

00:47:05.000 What happens when they go, no, and they pull up a video and they show you the video, and you go, that's not a real video, they'll say, you're a conspiracy theorist and you're lying, I have the video.

00:47:13.000 So what's the best way to authenticate those, though?

00:47:16.000 Impossible.

00:47:17.000 Defakes?

00:47:17.000 We were talking about that today in one of our development meetings.

00:47:20.000 I don't know.

00:47:21.000 I think it's going to have to be either the person verifies the video themselves, and if it's a video of you that you don't verify, then there's no verification.

00:47:28.000 I think it's going to be a lot easier to verify the real ones rather than sniffing out all the fake ones.

00:47:33.000 But then people like Project Veritas will try and catch someone, and they'll be like, no, that wasn't a real video.

00:47:37.000 So you've got to be like, at some point, The other idea is to build like a headset or some sort of tech that you can use that can see that it's a deepfake somehow, that can tell if it's AI.

00:47:48.000 You gotta understand the full sphere of what this means.

00:47:52.000 A video will come out of, say, a guy at Pfizer saying something ridiculous like, we're mutating the virus, or you know, who knows what.

00:48:00.000 And then what'll happen is, a Veritas-like organization will say, here's a video of the guy saying they're mutating the virus.

00:48:07.000 What they'll then do is they will make, using that video, another deepfake and say, ah, yes, but here's the part they cut out.

00:48:16.000 And then all of a sudden you'll see another video where the guy goes, could you imagine if like someone from these companies had something as crazy as we're mutating these viruses so that we can make more money?

00:48:26.000 That would be insane.

00:48:27.000 And then everyone will go, oh, Veritas cut the context out.

00:48:30.000 He was talking about how crazy it would have been if someone did say, he didn't actually say it.

00:48:35.000 Wow, that proves Veritas is lying.

00:48:37.000 You see the point?

00:48:37.000 I could see that in other cases.

00:48:39.000 In a case like Veritas, they, I mean, they have all the footage.

00:48:43.000 Yeah, but how do you prove a negative?

00:48:45.000 If an organization, to defend itself, deepfakes your video, you can't prove the video doesn't exist.

00:48:51.000 You can only prove a video does exist.

00:48:53.000 So you'll get a video of Trump saying something like, you know, we're going to build a big beautiful wall, and then the left will, you'll get a combination of offensive and defensive deepfakes.

00:49:04.000 The left will make a video where Trump is, like, saying something somewhat offensive to add context, making it seem like he's racist.

00:49:11.000 And then to defend against it, the Republicans will add another bit where Trump is saying, can you believe what so-and-so said?

00:49:17.000 He said this.

00:49:18.000 And they'll just keep trying to change the context with deepfakes. 0.91

00:49:22.000 Think about what happens if you get filmed and someone leaks audio of you saying something offensive.

00:49:27.000 You can say, hey, that's out of context.

00:49:30.000 I wasn't actually saying- Probably wasn't.

00:49:33.000 So if Ian came on the show and said, I don't like buttered popcorn, and that clip went viral, people would be like, wow, he doesn't like buttered popcorn.

00:49:40.000 If Ian said, no, no, no, that's bad, he would just make a deep fake of him saying, I would never say something like, I don't like buttered popcorn.

00:49:48.000 And that inverts the context.

00:49:49.000 And that's what you can do with deepfakes too.

00:49:51.000 It's gonna be wild, man.

00:49:52.000 A billion dollars per campaign plus?

00:49:55.000 And how much of that money can get invested in making stuff like this?

00:49:59.000 Remember the meme wars in 2015-16?

00:50:02.000 Ramp it up, baby, because you're going to get a combination of, you're going to get subliminal, liminal, and superliminal deepfakes.

00:50:09.000 Superliminal deepfakes are going to be someone being like, and here's a new meme of Joe Biden singing the chicken song. 0.68

00:50:15.000 And it'll just be Joe Biden, it'll be silly.

00:50:17.000 Then you'll get stuff that are liminal, I'm doing air quotes, a Simpsons joke, that are more like what Jack Posobiec did, where it's some people might get confused by it, but he says what he's doing.

00:50:27.000 And then the subliminal is when they just leak stuff and then don't say anything about it, and people fall for it.

00:50:32.000 They should do one of Fetterman.

00:50:33.000 Exactly.

00:50:34.000 I mean, but it would just be dead air.

00:50:37.000 Yeah, how would you know if they released a deep fake of Fetterman right now saying,

00:50:42.000 look, here's your proof of life?

00:50:44.000 Exactly.

00:50:45.000 And then what happens when, get this, John Hodgkinson runs for Senate and everyone sees

00:50:53.000 videos of him staying at the podium cheering.

00:50:56.000 Everybody sees interviews with him talking about his policies.

00:51:00.000 And there is no John Hodgkinson.

00:51:02.000 It's an AI deepfake character that appears in the media, that appears on YouTube, that does this campaigning.

00:51:09.000 And you'll see people on YouTube in their cheering form.

00:51:10.000 He'll have commercials where he says, vote for me, because I believe in making America great again.

00:51:15.000 And then everyone's like, I'm going to vote for this guy.

00:51:16.000 And he's not real.

00:51:17.000 I think you made a good point that if Fetterman had a deepfake, because when they deepfake Biden, it's obvious it's a deepfake a lot of times because you can't hear the imperfections, like you can't hear the degraded quality in his brain.

00:51:29.000 And a lot of times when people- It's too perfect.

00:51:32.000 Yeah.

00:51:33.000 And when people are singing with songs, if the machine builds it, you can kind of tell.

00:51:37.000 It's like robotically perfect.

00:51:39.000 And so there's this imperfective quality to human behavior that possibly cannot be captured by a computer.

00:51:46.000 If we could somehow perceive that, In certain contexts, I at least agree with that, yeah.

00:51:50.000 I think it will be, though, and that's what's scary, is I feel like the technology is evolving a lot quicker than we are.

00:51:55.000 I feel like we're pretty dumb compared to what we've created.

00:51:59.000 And that's where a lot of this chaos is coming from, because we are not equipped or evolved to live in the world we created. 0.96

00:52:05.000 Those videos of, like, Gen Zers being like, why do I have to have a job? 1.00

00:52:10.000 They are going to be the first in line to go into the pod.

00:52:15.000 They're gonna say, you know, you're right about this.

00:52:16.000 You shouldn't have to.

00:52:18.000 Step into pod where we will hook feeding tubes right into your gullet and then put the VR helmet on and you'll live in digital world where you can be whatever you identify as.

00:52:26.000 I thought you meant the suicide booth.

00:52:28.000 all that too. They created that mentality by making it so miserable to live and survive for

00:52:35.000 these kids. I mean, I do, Gen Z gets a bad rap for being so nonchalant about it, but wouldn't you? 1.00

00:52:40.000 You're never going to own anything. Most of them are not going to own houses or cars or anything.

00:52:46.000 So I don't really blame them.

00:52:48.000 They've been lied to about most things and especially like the gender stuff like think about being a they-them on hormones working at Starbucks and there are like 20 mobile orders like I wouldn't and then you have like social anxiety disorder and stuff and like. 0.83

00:53:06.000 They all have disorders.

00:53:07.000 I mean it's just like it's not an enviable position.

00:53:13.000 Boring, I agree with that, but like, you talk about people coming back from the jungle after losing a leg, like, I don't see combat vets complaining and bitching about how hard life is.

00:53:23.000 Adrian Curry says, send them to Ukraine.

00:53:27.000 I agree.

00:53:27.000 That's the thing all the tick tockers to Ukraine any any any one of these people who wants to wave Ukrainian flag

00:53:31.000 and complain About what's going on? I say we send them right over

00:53:34.000 You know like it's it's hard I do agree that it life has become treacherously dull for

00:53:40.000 people especially being lied to about the military-industrial Complex and then realizing you're part of the Empire is

00:53:44.000 like what the I mean the reason they wouldn't go to Ukraine is because they're like

00:53:48.000 languishing the fact that they know that they're useless I'm a minimalist.

00:53:52.000 Like that's that's they know that they that they would instantly die in a combat situation and that's like demoralizing even worse. 0.87

00:53:58.000 Not Adam Kinzinger.

00:54:01.000 How much you want to bet, Winzinger, that story of you will live in the pod, you will eat the bugs, you will own nothing, and you will be happy?

00:54:06.000 They're probably going please it can't come soon enough.

00:54:10.000 They are.

00:54:11.000 I will tell you, Gen Z has that attitude. 0.97

00:54:11.000 They are. 0.97

00:54:13.000 You know, I see a lot of the dialogue, especially when they're talking about, you know, if there was an apocalypse, they're saying, wow, you guys' will to live is incredible.

00:54:21.000 I'd just let, I'd let it all happen.

00:54:24.000 So I think these kids are severely depressed.

00:54:27.000 I think they don't really have much purpose because we've hyper fixated on individualism and this narcissistic society.

00:54:34.000 So these kids are just focusing on only themselves.

00:54:37.000 And they have a meaningless life because they have no other purpose except themselves.

00:54:41.000 So once we took away that community... Not even themselves.

00:54:43.000 Yeah.

00:54:44.000 Yeah.

00:54:46.000 Well, the future's sounding pretty good, huh?

00:54:48.000 I imagine kids are like the ultimate purpose.

00:54:51.000 Because I've been gaming a lot and just keep thinking, like, what is the freaking purpose of life?

00:54:55.000 I keep rinsing and repeating the same thing.

00:54:57.000 There's no, like, quest to finish.

00:54:57.000 There's no goal.

00:54:59.000 There's no experience gained.

00:55:01.000 I don't get the ding when I do the thing.

00:55:02.000 It's just nonstop.

00:55:04.000 It's the indomitable human spirit and, like, the drive to produce the next generation.

00:55:10.000 To do what though?

00:55:11.000 Eat more candy bars and watch more TV?

00:55:13.000 Go to space!

00:55:15.000 That's what I'm going through and I think having children is a big part.

00:55:17.000 I haven't done it yet.

00:55:18.000 Go to space!

00:55:19.000 Go to Mars.

00:55:20.000 I'd go to Mars for you.

00:55:21.000 Maybe it's different for everybody.

00:55:22.000 Explorations for some people.

00:55:24.000 See, my dreams for the future cannot be accomplished in a single lifetime.

00:55:28.000 You know, I am not driven by having a fancy car or an infinity pool.

00:55:32.000 I'm driven at the thought of a spaceship traveling the galaxy with a bunch of people on it being like, you know, we're 17 light years away, sir.

00:55:40.000 Engage warp.

00:55:41.000 What are you going to find up there?

00:55:43.000 It's just blackness.

00:55:46.000 You know, maybe People get bored of that, too.

00:55:50.000 I've tripped my balls off and seen the craziest stuff, and experienced the most bending reality, and it's still just like, now what?

00:55:59.000 Even while I'm tripping, I'm like, okay, the bug is dancing on my arm.

00:56:04.000 All things will die, and I'm crying.

00:56:06.000 Relationships are the only thing that really matter.

00:56:08.000 That doesn't sound like a good time, Ian.

00:56:10.000 Traveling to space doesn't matter.

00:56:13.000 Nothing, nothing technically matters, but for me it's all about negative entropy.

00:56:17.000 Things matter.

00:56:18.000 Just watch helping other people.

00:56:20.000 What matters is creating more organization, is organizing free energy into complex systems.

00:56:25.000 That's it.

00:56:26.000 I feel really good whenever I feed Bucko and he's happy.

00:56:28.000 Like the cat that I've been taking care of.

00:56:30.000 Tim, would you go to Mars if Elon told you you can get on a spaceship right now and go?

00:56:35.000 You wouldn't?

00:56:35.000 No.

00:56:36.000 Nope.

00:56:36.000 But you just said you wanted to go on a spaceship.

00:56:38.000 I didn't say I wanted to go on a spaceship, I said I want humans to go on spaceships.

00:56:41.000 It's cringey when they shoot themselves up into space and then just come back down like you didn't really do anything.

00:56:47.000 Just sat there.

00:56:48.000 Mars right now is a... Whenever you're looking at spaceships getting shut up and you're like, ugh, that's cringey.

00:56:52.000 It's a one-way trip.

00:56:53.000 If you go to Mars, you're staying on Mars for the rest of your life.

00:56:55.000 I would go.

00:56:56.000 Would you go orbit Mars?

00:56:57.000 And then come back?

00:57:01.000 Humans don't understand how much of their life is nothing but humans.

00:57:07.000 It's like, you've got to remind them.

00:57:10.000 Go out into the middle of nowhere and see how much anything matters.

00:57:13.000 You'll care about your survival, but you will start begging for humans.

00:57:16.000 Well, that's that's why people are so sad.

00:57:18.000 We took away that community and people think that they have it in social media.

00:57:22.000 But really, we've been so divided and our neighbors have been demonized and everyone's your neighbor is going to kill you if they take off the mask.

00:57:29.000 It's just very we lost that community a long time ago.

00:57:32.000 This is why solitary confinement is torture.

00:57:34.000 I've noticed that with my friends, air quotes on the Internet.

00:57:34.000 Yeah.

00:57:38.000 I have eighteen hundred friends on Facebook.

00:57:40.000 How many friends do I actually have in life?

00:57:42.000 Thirteen?

00:57:43.000 It's a false sense of community that we get on social media.

00:57:46.000 Yeah, family is like the major component.

00:57:49.000 I think when you get older, you care a lot less about... When you're in school and you have a peer group, you're forced to be around them.

00:57:56.000 You are told by the system, like, here you're doing this thing, it's either school or work, and so you have friends because of this confined space.

00:58:03.000 But when humans are set off to be on their own, they focus on family, which is moving down instead of, you know, your peer group is to your left and right, your family is the generation below you.

00:58:14.000 You'll care a lot more about that and you'll strive for a lot more for that than you would just friends.

00:58:18.000 As you get older, family is the human component that people need.

00:58:22.000 It's not just that, but it's her implication that having children is humiliating.

00:58:25.000 If you had a kid, you would.

00:58:27.000 You get that Chelsea Handler video where she's like, I don't have kids, so I get to wake up,

00:58:27.000 And that's why it's crazy.

00:58:31.000 do drugs and masturbate. 1.00

00:58:33.000 And I was like, that sounds like what a 16 year old would say, lady. 1.00

00:58:35.000 It's not just that, but it's her implication that having children is humiliating.

00:58:40.000 Yeah, so weird.

00:58:41.000 Yeah, and that like living for pleasure is the only way that a woman can like reach her potential. 1.00

00:58:49.000 I mean, I'm sure you, Ashley, having become a mother, understand that it's very demeaning when that message is constantly pushed.

00:58:56.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:58:57.000 That's, you know, you're free.

00:58:59.000 That's the best way you can live is not having children.

00:59:02.000 My kid is the best thing that ever happened to me.

00:59:04.000 But I also understand that it's getting tougher to have families.

00:59:07.000 You don't have that village anymore to help raise kids.

00:59:10.000 Yeah, it takes a village.

00:59:11.000 And so a lot of these things, too, seem so silly that are in the news and stuff because you have people who can't raise families the way that we're supposed to.

00:59:19.000 It's not ideal circumstances to have families, and I'm fortunate enough that I can provide, but a lot of people can't.

00:59:26.000 And I understand that.

00:59:27.000 They don't have that village, they don't have the community, they don't have the economic resources.

00:59:31.000 So it's kind of twofold, where you want to promote family values and tell everyone to have families, and that's your purpose, but it's also very hard for people to do that now.

00:59:39.000 There are a bunch of people trying to take a kid away from you as well.

00:59:42.000 I see both sides.

00:59:44.000 Yeah, exactly!

00:59:45.000 You send them off to school.

00:59:47.000 son to school and you come back with a daughter.

00:59:49.000 It's daycare, it's school, it's gender transition programs.

00:59:52.000 That word care.

00:59:53.000 I don't like that word care, man.

00:59:54.000 Like, what's caring about?

00:59:56.000 Daycare?

00:59:57.000 Like, are they really being cared for?

00:59:58.000 They just call it care.

00:59:59.000 Gender-affirming care.

01:00:00.000 Neglect and the abuse in those places is mind-blowing.

01:00:05.000 Yeah, and also elder abuse is getting worse.

01:00:08.000 The most vulnerable people in our society are being abused.

01:00:10.000 Because we don't take care of our community.

01:00:12.000 Have you been able to find the tribe or Yeah, and I'm fortunate enough to have a good support system, but I think that's where conservatives kind of fall short is that, you know, you push these family values, but they're not really pushing any legislation or policies or changes to make it easier to have families and for families to survive.

01:00:12.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:00:31.000 So I do think that Republicans tend to play on the defense instead of offense, and they're not making pro-family policies.

01:00:39.000 They're not making it easier for people to find that purpose.

01:00:44.000 I found with all the cool people I'm meeting doing this show that I haven't really made any friends out of it.

01:00:49.000 Like, Jack Posobiec.

01:00:50.000 I love you, Jack.

01:00:52.000 I like Jack.

01:00:52.000 I love Jack.

01:00:53.000 He's cool.

01:00:53.000 He's like, if me and him hung out, we'd be friends.

01:00:56.000 And I'm realizing the community part of it is missing for me.

01:00:56.000 But I don't see him.

01:01:02.000 That's what I haven't been doing lately.

01:01:03.000 It's like, I barely talk to you, dude.

01:01:05.000 This is your fault.

01:01:09.000 Everybody comes here and they're like, I hung out at Tim Cass' castle for like three days.

01:01:12.000 I never saw Ian once.

01:01:13.000 And like, we're all downstairs.

01:01:14.000 We had a Superbowl party, bro.

01:01:15.000 A lot just said he didn't see you for three days.

01:01:17.000 Yeah, a lot.

01:01:17.000 I love you.

01:01:18.000 We had a Superbowl party.

01:01:19.000 You're so elusive, Ian.

01:01:20.000 We miss you.

01:01:21.000 I started making internet videos in 2006 and I was like, I can be friends with everybody.

01:01:24.000 I'm going to do what Jesus would have done if he had this tech.

01:01:26.000 And then I got burnt out.

01:01:28.000 I was like, I can't.

01:01:28.000 I started to become friends with people that were depressed and then I would start to get depressed.

01:01:32.000 And I was like, I can't be around other people because they're freaking me out.

01:01:36.000 Because you use the tech, right?

01:01:39.000 Is that not why?

01:01:40.000 It was part of it.

01:01:41.000 I was meeting people from all over Earth, random people that I had nothing in common with, that I was taking in their behaviors and idiosyncrasies and values and things before I even knew who they were.

01:01:50.000 And I would get, like, demons.

01:01:53.000 I mean, the darkness in humanity would start to seep into me.

01:01:56.000 Is this drug-induced?

01:01:57.000 Lots of weed.

01:01:58.000 That's probably part of it, too, is I couldn't control myself, my emotions, because I was so open from my neurons all going at once.

01:02:04.000 Here's what we're going to do.

01:02:05.000 Here's what we're going to do, Ian.

01:02:06.000 We're launching that show, Poker with the Boys, right?

01:02:09.000 And it's meant to just be like a boys' show hangout.

01:02:13.000 There'll be girls there, too. 1.00

01:02:13.000 It's not just boys. 1.00

01:02:14.000 But like the general idea is to hang out with your friends style podcast where people are smack talking, ribbing on each other, probably talk whatever is in current news, but it won't be a news show like this.

01:02:24.000 And you just got to come to it.

01:02:26.000 Another problem of having maybe people identify with this is I don't like small talk.

01:02:31.000 I'd just rather be silent and sit in silence with someone, which is very awkward.

01:02:35.000 It depends what you mean by small talk.

01:02:37.000 I think like small talk is part of recognizing the dignity of the person in front of you.

01:02:43.000 You know, niceties are also kindness, making them feel welcome, hospitality.

01:02:50.000 I feel like people who say I hate small talk are actually not you, Ian, but they are the people who call themselves sapiosexuals and stuff.

01:03:03.000 Like, you're not as deep as you think.

01:03:04.000 Like, small talk is deep.

01:03:06.000 Like, you're recognizing the person across from you.

01:03:08.000 Elevate the conversation, if that's your issue, Ian.

01:03:10.000 If someone's like, so, what did you do yesterday?

01:03:12.000 And you're like, I had lentil soup.

01:03:14.000 And they're like, oh yeah, how was that?

01:03:15.000 Go, let's talk about philosophy and quantum physics.

01:03:18.000 Have you ever read about string theory?

01:03:19.000 Just, it's your choice.

01:03:20.000 I do that.

01:03:21.000 It's somewhat odd, but when people... It'd be hilarious.

01:03:23.000 I think it'd be funny.

01:03:24.000 I'll try it.

01:03:25.000 Ian, like, everyone says this, but you, like, talking to you is...

01:03:29.000 an intense experience because like no one pays that close attention to me like

01:03:35.000 Anyone talking to you just feels like whoa You're like actually looking me in the eye and listening to

01:03:42.000 what I'm saying and responding accordingly Like that's that's a rare experience in human conversation

01:03:46.000 and it's a good thing. Do you think it's becoming more common?

01:03:48.000 No I think people are disassociating from each other.

01:03:53.000 Yeah.

01:03:53.000 And they're spending more time in virtual spaces and virtual reality and video games and things like that.

01:03:58.000 They're not having kids.

01:03:59.000 I gotta tell you, there's professional athletes and musicians that I'm a huge fan of and I'm like, they got no kids.

01:04:07.000 But look, look, I'm going to be 37 in a week.

01:04:10.000 I don't got any kids either.

01:04:11.000 That's kind of crazy to me.

01:04:12.000 And so, you know, private business, but there is an intention for me to have a family.

01:04:16.000 But there are a lot of people I see who are now in their 50s that I grew up watching and looking up to, to a certain degree, have no families at all.

01:04:23.000 And I'm like, that's it.

01:04:24.000 That's the end of their genetic influence.

01:04:27.000 Their legacy ends with them.

01:04:30.000 Now there are a lot of people who have kids, don't get me wrong, a lot of people have kids, but there are just some rock stars and pro athletes and I'm just like, man, they just didn't have any families.

01:04:39.000 That kind of bums me out because it means like the life lessons and the genetics, the combination of these things that made them who they were, such great people that had a tremendous positive impact on the world, Gone.

01:04:51.000 With them gone.

01:04:53.000 And I'm not saying their kids are gonna grow up to become famous or anything. 0.96

01:04:55.000 They might, you know, be, you know, dickheads or something. 0.89

01:04:58.000 And that why is what I'm interested in. 0.79

01:05:00.000 Why do we have so many people making choices that really are against our biological nature?

01:05:05.000 Most people, given the ideal circumstances, I think, would have children and families.

01:05:10.000 So why are there so many people My original thought was, I got really red-pilled in 06, 07, and I felt pretty alone.

01:05:17.000 But I was like, OK, I'm going to have to make a self-sacrifice.

01:05:19.000 I'm going to have to let my body be destroyed in order to speak up against the military-industrial complex.

01:05:25.000 They're not going to have it. 0.70

01:05:26.000 Jesus got killed for it. 0.99

01:05:27.000 I'll probably get killed for it. 0.98

01:05:28.000 That was my roll in the dice.

01:05:29.000 I'm like, I don't have kids because I don't want to leave them fatherless.

01:05:31.000 And that was kind of set me on the last 15 years.

01:05:34.000 But I'm the same.

01:05:36.000 I don't want to leave him fatherless, but I'm not going to stop talking.

01:05:39.000 We refuse to back down.

01:05:41.000 And maybe I don't know.

01:05:43.000 You know, when people say, like, I don't want to bring a kid into this world, like the world is just such a scary place and it's only getting worse.

01:05:53.000 Like, how could I subject someone to grow up in a world like this?

01:05:58.000 And like, yeah, there are unique factors to like why living today is different, maybe worse in a lot of ways, but I think people are just afraid of being the person with the biggest impact on an impressionable person.

01:06:14.000 They're afraid of passing down their own mediocrity.

01:06:17.000 I think it's also just a really scary world to raise a kid in.

01:06:22.000 We're fighting to not have men pole dancing in front of children. 0.94

01:06:26.000 Sure, sure, but we had a Cold War with, like, nuclear weapons in Cuba.

01:06:30.000 This has always been a harsh world.

01:06:32.000 It was harsh in a different way.

01:06:34.000 I mean, they are really trying to take our children from us.

01:06:37.000 I mean, they are stealing the innocence of our children.

01:06:41.000 Same thing with the Vietnam War.

01:06:43.000 Yeah, I mean, communism was spreading like crazy.

01:06:45.000 Ugly things.

01:06:47.000 We've talked about that Whatever podcast quite a bit.

01:06:49.000 They have these clips going viral.

01:06:51.000 I love that guy.

01:06:52.000 What's his name?

01:06:53.000 Chase?

01:06:54.000 Chase was the second guy.

01:06:56.000 Based.

01:06:57.000 Yeah, that video where he's like, you know, I don't want to bang a dude or whatever.

01:07:00.000 But there's one where there's a woman saying she doesn't like talking stages.

01:07:04.000 I saw that one too. She's referring to like the wait three days before calling kind of thing?

01:07:08.000 Is that what she's talking about? So, you know, a lot of people were giving her grief because she

01:07:13.000 wasn't very articulate. But I think what she was saying was actually kind of, she's upset that

01:07:20.000 Gen Z really doesn't have traditional dating periods. It's, you know, it's, it's, it's, 0.56

01:07:24.000 You're just kind of hooking up.

01:07:25.000 There's no definition to anything.

01:07:27.000 So in a way, she really was yearning for that, hey, maybe you should go back to traditional dating.

01:07:33.000 She wasn't able to articulate it well.

01:07:35.000 Maybe it took her 60 full seconds to articulate that one sentence.

01:07:40.000 And by the way, it must be kind of a purgatory to have that stunted level of English, you know?

01:07:48.000 Yeah, I did understand her point.

01:07:49.000 I think it's also hard for her and like other Gen Z people to say like, hey, people are only hooking up with me now.

01:07:57.000 Nobody actually wants to date anymore.

01:07:58.000 And she genuinely doesn't understand why people are giving her bad faith advice.

01:08:03.000 I'm gonna play this video.

01:08:05.000 I don't think the audience will be served at all by hearing this, but I'll play it for you anyway. 0.96

01:08:09.000 I think the biggest thing that, like, annoys me in, like, the whole dating world is, like, fucking talking stages. 0.99

01:08:15.000 Like, that shit's so annoying. 0.99

01:08:16.000 Like, the whole, like... And just, like, the inconsistency in them. 0.99

01:08:20.000 Like, I literally, like, hate that, like, so much.

01:08:22.000 But I think that's, like, my biggest thing, is just, like... What- what specifically?

01:08:25.000 Just, like, the fact of just, like, you, like...

01:08:30.000 I don't know how to word this.

01:08:31.000 She knows she doesn't know how to word it.

01:08:34.000 I can't do it.

01:08:34.000 I can't listen anymore.

01:08:35.000 I shut it up the first time I tried to, but I've since listened to it.

01:08:38.000 They say she's speaking hot girl language. 1.00

01:08:40.000 So is she saying that in the early days when you're texting back and forth for like, and then it turns into a week of texting and then two weeks?

01:08:46.000 So then she goes on to say like, no one wants to commit or be in a traditional like dating.

01:08:51.000 It's these weird talking stages and they're talking stages mean like the hookup phase and you're seeing someone But she's also talking about 21-year-old dudes who go to college in California.

01:09:01.000 Here's what James Lindsay said.

01:09:02.000 Here's what James Lindsay said.

01:09:04.000 She's crying for help because of the damage online dating and hookup culture have wrought, 0.88

01:09:09.000 speaking vaguely and badly about her tacit knowledge of a miserable—you want to pull

01:09:13.000 that up?

01:09:14.000 Speaking—let me start over.

01:09:16.000 She's crying for help because of the damage online dating and hookup culture have wrought. 0.98

01:09:20.000 Speaking vaguely and badly about her tacit knowledge of a miserable circumstance without the vocabulary to articulate it.

01:09:27.000 This is sad.

01:09:28.000 What I got, you can see, even I retweeted it too.

01:09:30.000 James Lynn's a smart fella.

01:09:31.000 What I got from it is she's basically like she wants a real relationship with somebody.

01:09:35.000 And that doesn't exist.

01:09:36.000 And it's feminism's fault. 1.00

01:09:37.000 Because basically the sexual liberation thing told men there's nothing you have to do anymore.

01:09:44.000 There's no responsibility.

01:09:45.000 There's no resources.

01:09:46.000 There's no hard work.

01:09:47.000 Ladies just gonna give it up. 1.00

01:09:48.000 So what you end up with?

01:09:49.000 A bunch of little boys.

01:09:51.000 Who sit around playing video games all day and don't have to provide anything.

01:09:55.000 Women who don't want families, so the guy doesn't have to provide anything, and there's no strings attached in hooking up, and now you have women. 1.00

01:10:03.000 And I'm not saying every woman, I'm not saying most women, at least in this case one woman who is like, this sucks. 0.87

01:10:08.000 But it's not just I feel like this is a majority of the Gen Z girls and the whatever they're calling that other generation. 0.93

01:10:15.000 They really fell prey to this hookup culture.

01:10:18.000 And I think a lot of them and you see it here in her even though she's not saying it well, they're understanding that it's not making them happy.

01:10:25.000 And that's why I feel if we had someone that wasn't... You know, Andrew Tate's great, right?

01:10:30.000 The way he articulates this to young men.

01:10:33.000 Hopefully he's innocent, but... He's not being innocent, he's not been charged with any crimes.

01:10:37.000 He doesn't speak for young men.

01:10:38.000 Well, you know, you want to preface it, but you know, he does say these good things, but we need... Andrew Tate has not been charged with any crimes.

01:10:44.000 Yes.

01:10:44.000 So it's like, what, he's not even, he's not even, there's nothing to be innocent of.

01:10:47.000 They just locked him up.

01:10:50.000 That's my little disclaimer.

01:10:51.000 But I like what he has to say, but I think there needs to be a version of that that is palatable for women.

01:10:56.000 That's saying the same thing, but palatable for women because they feel the same way, but the way that it's put for them is just awful. 0.85

01:11:04.000 I don't know.

01:11:05.000 The only way to beat it is to not participate in it.

01:11:09.000 The only way to get rid of hookup culture is to just stop hooking up with people.

01:11:13.000 And I'm sorry, but most of the girls on this podcast, whatever, are hooking up with people. 1.00

01:11:19.000 They're making the problem worse, and they're not willing to take accountability.

01:11:22.000 I think that's why a lot of People are like angry when they see this clip because they're like, I mean, I don't know this about this girl individually, but like the archetype, you know, she's contributing to her own problem.

01:11:37.000 And also Andrew Tate is a participant in hookup culture.

01:11:40.000 So it doesn't really resonate when I hear him talking about the negative effects.

01:11:44.000 He's not like... People say he's kind of like... What do they call him?

01:11:47.000 Kickbox... Mai Tai Jordan Peterson?

01:11:49.000 Well, yeah, but isn't Jordan Peterson more traditionalist and like, clean your room, have a family?

01:11:54.000 Andrew Tate is like, get all the ladies, you know?

01:11:57.000 I guess technically... Well, technically...

01:11:59.000 Andrew Tate is more traditional than Jordan Peterson because Tate brings it back to a, you know, carnal, more primitive state.

01:12:04.000 Well, Peterson says, don't lie.

01:12:06.000 And Andrew Tate says, I lied for money.

01:12:09.000 I had women pretending to be talking to guys while I had dudes doing the typing. 1.00

01:12:13.000 We made tons of money.

01:12:14.000 We ran the game. 0.94

01:12:16.000 Like, he's just a liar and proud about it.

01:12:18.000 So they are not on the same level in any way.

01:12:20.000 I agree with you that being alone is less worse than being with the wrong person.

01:12:25.000 So like these people doing hookup culture, maybe they'd be better off if they were alone.

01:12:28.000 But those being alone and being in the wrong relationship are like D minus or worse.

01:12:33.000 The alternative isn't even being alone, it's just like dating in a normal way that doesn't immediately, like for these women, give strange men access to your body.

01:12:43.000 You know what I think it is?

01:12:44.000 Preferable for both sides.

01:12:46.000 I think it's a cultural deficit in that we created all of this media.

01:12:52.000 iconography TV shows about love at first sight and about, you know, a guy meeting a girl and

01:12:59.000 they just love each other or Hallmark movies where, you know, the woman's in a relationship

01:13:03.000 with a guy but he's snooty and she goes back to her hometown and there's the old, you know,

01:13:06.000 football player and, you know, they never... The lumberjack.

01:13:08.000 The lumberjack and he's a stand-up honorable guy.

01:13:12.000 And in reality, relationships are built together.

01:13:14.000 You meet each other, you get along, you say, okay, you start building things together and you build up that emotional bond over a long period of time.

01:13:21.000 It's also like young people seem to think that it's like you meet someone and it's like they're the one.

01:13:25.000 No.

01:13:26.000 If you are in your best place and you meet someone in their best place, then you will realize together you're something, but they're not going to make you better.

01:13:33.000 You got to be up there so that they can come up to meet you.

01:13:36.000 I made that mistake for a long time thinking she was going to fix me.

01:13:40.000 So what's advice you guys would give to young guys? 0.96

01:13:41.000 Because I think a lot of guys are afraid of... rejection sucks. 0.91

01:13:45.000 And getting rejected in public, if that gets blasted out on the internet, not only... you might even look like a predator.

01:13:50.000 Kids are probably... guys are probably afraid of that.

01:13:52.000 So what advice... Girls also need to learn to reject guys in a way that's gracious and not ruthless, you know?

01:13:59.000 That's a problem.

01:14:00.000 What would be... that's cool.

01:14:02.000 What would be a good advice for young guys that want to pursue a relationship with a girl in this modern technology era?

01:14:10.000 That's a very loaded question.

01:14:12.000 I mean, I think it depends what they want.

01:14:14.000 You know, if you're a young man looking for a more traditional relationship... Go to church.

01:14:19.000 Yeah.

01:14:20.000 I mean, that's really... A lot of people say that, but it's like, okay, you're going to go up to someone in church and be like, hi, like... That wouldn't be very trad.

01:14:29.000 Makes some people feel weird.

01:14:31.000 They say the supermarket.

01:14:32.000 I didn't mean to interrupt you.

01:14:33.000 No, you're fine.

01:14:34.000 But I just feel like they have to, they have to live, you know, you have to walk the walk and you can't be calling for traditional lifestyles if you yourself are involved in hookup culture and things like that.

01:14:45.000 You know, if that's what you want, really, Tim's not wrong.

01:14:48.000 You're going to find that in church.

01:14:50.000 Or a supermarket.

01:14:51.000 That's the other thing.

01:14:52.000 No, for real, they say, you know, guys will go to a bar to pick up chicks, and it's just like, I guess that makes sense for a guy.

01:14:58.000 But for a woman, it doesn't make sense, because you're gonna get a guy who's not looking for any kind of real relationship. 0.99

01:15:03.000 That's what this young woman is basically saying.

01:15:05.000 She comes to a point in the video where she says, like, this is not gonna lead to a real relationship.

01:15:10.000 And then there's another video going viral of a Japanese woman who was surprised when she met this guy's family.

01:15:17.000 And she was like, so this guy, I've been seeing him, we went on five dates, he introduces me to his family, and I'm thinking like, wow, this is a really big deal, like, we're hitting it off.

01:15:24.000 And then when she inquires, he's like, no, no, no, we're just friends.

01:15:27.000 And she was like, what?

01:15:28.000 Like, that doesn't exist where she's from.

01:15:30.000 When a guy and a girl hang out several times, they're dating.

01:15:33.000 When they introduce their families to each other, it's very serious.

01:15:36.000 In America, look, that's another thing about feminism. 1.00

01:15:39.000 I don't know if Japan has their shit together either. 1.00

01:15:41.000 Dating. 1.00

01:15:43.000 Oh yeah, absolutely.

01:15:44.000 They have the hikikomori.

01:15:46.000 Yeah, hikikomori.

01:15:48.000 The guys lock themselves in their rooms and play video games all day and never come out.

01:15:51.000 Even when their friends are outside, they're in their room playing video games and no one ever sees them.

01:15:56.000 But that's Japan.

01:15:58.000 I forgot what I was going to say.

01:15:59.000 I was going to say something about feminism. 1.00

01:16:01.000 I know that the woke leftists are going to be like, you know, Tim Pool blames feminism, incel, blah, blah, blah.

01:16:07.000 And it's like, look, man, I don't care about women running for president. 0.99

01:16:10.000 I know we end up like, I think, actually let me pause.

01:16:13.000 What's your stance on the 19th amendment, Ashley?

01:16:15.000 Repeal?

01:16:16.000 I think there have been a plethora of problems.

01:16:20.000 There you go.

01:16:21.000 We have women on the show and they're like, repeal the 19th. 1.00

01:16:24.000 And it's always the guys who are like, well, I don't know.

01:16:26.000 I'm like, eh, the ladies vote for it. 1.00

01:16:27.000 But anyway, I don't care about that stuff.

01:16:30.000 Feminism wants to see women as CEOs. 1.00

01:16:32.000 I don't care.

01:16:32.000 Run a company, do whatever you want.

01:16:33.000 Like I can choose to go to business, do business with whoever I want.

01:16:36.000 You can run a company if you start a company.

01:16:38.000 But in terms of like the sexual liberation stuff, it's not really liberation.

01:16:41.000 It's stripped women of their leverage in relationships. 1.00

01:16:44.000 Women were told you can go around and sleep with whoever you want, and the guys were like, yes! 0.98

01:16:49.000 I love that you're pointing that out about leverage, because when they call men incels, they're saying, you can't get access to sex with women. 0.98

01:16:58.000 But like, sex with women has become valueless now. 0.98

01:17:02.000 So where'd the leverage go? 0.97

01:17:03.000 Is that even an insult anymore?

01:17:05.000 Well, so the thing about incels is most of these guys, it's an internal problem.

01:17:09.000 It's never been easier for these guys to hook up.

01:17:11.000 You go to a bar, buy some drinks, everybody gets, you know, has a good time, they're drunk, they go party, and then before you know it... But that's tough.

01:17:17.000 That's risky in modern culture, because you can get blasted out on the internet as putting your hands on someone's thigh or something.

01:17:23.000 I'm not saying don't touch women without consent.

01:17:25.000 But they might think it's consensual and then take it a step too far.

01:17:28.000 I think that's a big problem.

01:17:29.000 There is a reason why bars have the lights turned low, and there's a reason why there's that, you can buy it at Hot Topic or Spencer's or whatever, it says beer, making ugly people attractive since, you know, like 900 AD. 0.68

01:17:42.000 I've always thought that one of the cringiest things is the guy's like, can I kiss you now?

01:17:45.000 And you're like, oh God, just go for it.

01:17:46.000 You don't think that's sweet?

01:17:47.000 I think that's sweet.

01:17:48.000 You do think, so should the guy ask before he makes a move?

01:17:51.000 I don't think it should be mandated, but I think it's sweet.

01:17:54.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:17:56.000 Absolutely they have to. 0.55

01:17:58.000 See, see, women... Because everyone's mentally ill, but if we live in a sane society... Dude, that lady cop? 1.00

01:18:08.000 I should pull this up. 0.94

01:18:09.000 This is actually perfect.

01:18:11.000 I don't even know, how do I look this story back?

01:18:13.000 I had it pulled up and I'm like... She was emotionally groomed, guys.

01:18:19.000 Yeah, what's her name?

01:18:22.000 Megan Hall, was that her name?

01:18:23.000 Let me try and find this one.

01:18:25.000 Tennessee cop, I don't know.

01:18:26.000 It is funny, though, because a lot of these feminist ideologies mostly benefit men. 1.00

01:18:31.000 Alright, take a look at this.

01:18:32.000 This story went viral, and I have no idea why, about this Tennessee cop, Megan Hall.

01:18:38.000 She's now claiming she was sexually groomed and that she said no and they wouldn't take 0.93

01:18:42.000 no for an answer or like one guy wouldn't or something like that.

01:18:45.000 They colluded in their authority to systematically disarm her resistance and entrap her in degrading 0.91

01:18:51.000 and abusive sexual relationships, exploiting her, felt trapped.

01:18:55.000 So you want to talk about guys in the modern era.

01:18:59.000 If a dude is with a girl and the girl comes up to him and puts her hands on his shoulder

01:19:05.000 and leans in for a kiss and kisses him.

01:19:07.000 He just assaulted her. 1.00

01:19:09.000 And if she wants and she says it, they're in trouble.

01:19:12.000 This is a story that went viral for months about a woman who was banging a bunch of cops and just was as loose as loose can get.

01:19:18.000 And now she's claiming she was victimized and they wouldn't let her, they wouldn't stop.

01:19:22.000 So what did she say that it was one that I mean, so she was fine with the other seven and not Well, she's saying she was groomed.

01:19:29.000 She was saying they groomed her.

01:19:31.000 You're an adult.

01:19:33.000 Are you getting groomed?

01:19:35.000 Really?

01:19:35.000 I don't know.

01:19:37.000 An adult police officer is now complaining about being groomed.

01:19:40.000 In all honesty.

01:19:41.000 You're supposed to be the law enforcement of the land.

01:19:43.000 Like, turn those guys in.

01:19:45.000 What the hell's going on?

01:19:46.000 You're a grown adult professional with professional equals.

01:19:49.000 Quote, I did say no and he wouldn't take it for an answer.

01:19:53.000 Okay, so is this... Gee, that sounds like one.

01:19:55.000 Is this a story about this cop who was being abused, this female cop, and just didn't know what to do? 0.93

01:20:01.000 Or is she a wild and crazy cop who's hooking up? 0.97

01:20:04.000 See, do we know? 0.84

01:20:05.000 I don't know, but I'll tell you this.

01:20:07.000 If you've got a young guy, Even if he asks. 0.69

01:20:10.000 She can just say, he didn't.

01:20:12.000 And then he's going to jail.

01:20:13.000 He's getting locked up.

01:20:14.000 It is very scary.

01:20:15.000 And like, you know, I have younger brothers.

01:20:17.000 I have a son.

01:20:18.000 It is scary for them dating now.

01:20:19.000 Chappelle talked about this with, he did that joke where he had the guy sign a consent, he had pulled a consent form.

01:20:26.000 And then he was just like, well, hold on there.

01:20:28.000 He climbs off of him and he's like, let me just fill that out initial here and sign here and just make sure everything's good.

01:20:33.000 Because that's where things were going.

01:20:34.000 And the funny thing is, That show was like early 2000s, and then it was the 2010s when we got Mattress Girl.

01:20:40.000 This woman who begs a dude to hook up with her, reportedly, and he doesn't want to be with her. 0.99

01:20:46.000 Finally they hook up, then he leaves and he's like, I don't want to be with you.

01:20:49.000 She gets mad about it and then carries her mattress around claiming he raped her, even though the messages show that she was begging him. 0.95

01:20:56.000 So when Ian asks, should a guy ask, can I kiss you?

01:20:59.000 Yeah, your best bet is meet a girl at church and have a real relationship and get married and all that stuff.

01:21:04.000 Otherwise you go to jail or something.

01:21:05.000 But going to church to hook up.

01:21:06.000 I'm joking.

01:21:08.000 Going to church to hook up.

01:21:10.000 The confession booth.

01:21:11.000 No one can see you.

01:21:12.000 If I worship loud enough, she'll notice me.

01:21:15.000 What I'm saying is, meet a person in a real environment and have a real relationship.

01:21:19.000 It's tough to do.

01:21:19.000 A lot of it's like, what do they call it?

01:21:21.000 Happenstance?

01:21:22.000 Like you walk by and you see her?

01:21:23.000 Not anymore, dude!

01:21:25.000 Now we got that five hours of walking through New York as a woman. 0.97

01:21:28.000 If you even say, howdy ma'am, you're considered assault.

01:21:31.000 You're assaulting.

01:21:31.000 You're catcalling.

01:21:32.000 What about that whole Home Depot thing?

01:21:33.000 What was that?

01:21:34.000 They said to go to Home Depot and find a guy in Home Depot because the guy can actually fix stuff.

01:21:38.000 I feel like that's a good place to meet a man.

01:21:40.000 Just go where your values are.

01:21:41.000 If a woman wants you to run into a married contractor. 1.00

01:21:44.000 Oh, I like the go where your values are.

01:21:47.000 I went to theater school and I met other actresses, girls, and that's how I got my first real serious girlfriend because I was pretty nerdy in high school.

01:21:52.000 So look, if you're a woman, And you don't gotta take advice from me, I'm some dude.

01:21:57.000 And you wanna meet a guy, go to Home Depot.

01:21:59.000 And then just make sure there's no ring on the hand.

01:22:02.000 And then just, you know, say, I'm trying to fix a door, can you help me?

01:22:06.000 Can I hire you?

01:22:07.000 Just act really helpless.

01:22:08.000 I just need so many DIY projects.

01:22:10.000 Don't lie to your way into a relationship, but... No, like, if you're at Home Depot for a real reason, you gotta have a problem fixed, you're gonna find a better quality guy.

01:22:18.000 Oh, they're so happy to help, too.

01:22:20.000 Every time I don't know what to do, I'm like, I'm just gonna ask him how to do it.

01:22:23.000 Can you reach that?

01:22:24.000 They're so happy to help there.

01:22:26.000 But not just that, like, guys like solving problems and being helpful.

01:22:29.000 If a woman goes to a guy and says, look, I gotta fix a door and I need somebody who can help me do it, you know, a guy might be like, that sounds great.

01:22:36.000 I could totally help you with that.

01:22:37.000 That'd be awesome.

01:22:38.000 I'm here to help.

01:22:39.000 Do you think that dating apps should be deleted from people's phones?

01:22:42.000 I think that and social media contributes to the problem of people always thinking there's something else out there.

01:22:49.000 Well, you know, I could do better and that's just comparative in general with the lives that we're living, but it absolutely contributes to it.

01:22:55.000 I noticed that.

01:22:56.000 I was in a relationship and I kept Tinder on my phone and I would still find myself looking at it from time to time.

01:23:02.000 If I need it, you know?

01:23:03.000 It's that whole... There might be something else.

01:23:05.000 So this last relationship I'm in right now, I deleted all the apps right away.

01:23:08.000 It was just I knew, like, getting into it.

01:23:13.000 You can always reinstall it, you know?

01:23:14.000 It's not like it's gone forever.

01:23:15.000 Let's make a fake dating app where it's like all of the people on it are bots and they say nice things to you.

01:23:21.000 You know there's like a conservative dating app now?

01:23:25.000 I don't remember what it's called, but like... Christian Mingle.

01:23:28.000 Oh, Right Stuff?

01:23:30.000 Right Stuff.

01:23:30.000 It's something like that.

01:23:32.000 But like, that just means you're gonna find hyper-political people who are just obsessed with politics.

01:23:37.000 Which is not what you want either.

01:23:38.000 There's Christian Mingle, right? 0.95

01:23:39.000 That's like, been around for a long time.

01:23:41.000 There's J-Date.

01:23:41.000 That's more mainstream.

01:23:42.000 J-Date.

01:23:43.000 I always, part of me wanted to get on J-Date. 0.84

01:23:44.000 I'd be like, I'm gonna find, I'm not even Jewish, this feels so dirty. 0.82

01:23:48.000 Farmers only. 0.83

01:23:48.000 Did you infiltrate Jacob? 0.83

01:23:50.000 I wanted to, I never did.

01:23:51.000 It was like a fantasy kinda thing.

01:23:52.000 I never did. It was like a fantasy kind of thing.

01:23:54.000 Just like join a join a Facebook group.

01:23:57.000 People are interested in things and then go to things, go to events.

01:24:00.000 People need to talk to their neighbors and find local community.

01:24:03.000 Oh, you meet people through people.

01:24:05.000 That's a good way to do it.

01:24:06.000 That's a great way to do it.

01:24:07.000 That's how they used to.

01:24:08.000 Okay, so think about something you're interested in and then go to events of those things and meet people.

01:24:14.000 The problem is when it comes to a lot of hobbies or crafts and stuff, it's dudes, it's not women. 1.00

01:24:22.000 Ashley, you're right about arranged marriage.

01:24:24.000 I just wanted to point that out.

01:24:25.000 We need to bring that back.

01:24:27.000 That was clutch.

01:24:29.000 Think about the stereotype of the older woman who is always trying to matchmake younger people. 0.95

01:24:37.000 That doesn't exist anymore because she's bitter and single. 1.00

01:24:40.000 She hates younger women. 1.00

01:24:41.000 She doesn't want her to find love. 0.95

01:24:43.000 Right?

01:24:44.000 That archetype of the matchmaking woman in a village, you know, it doesn't exist anymore.

01:24:50.000 Yeah, my mom's very matchmaking, probably because she has a family and wants me to have a family. 0.99

01:24:55.000 The problem with arranged marriage is that it's anti-meritocratic in that you might have a three-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl, And then they're like, our kids are going to get married when they're older.

01:25:06.000 And then by 18, the male is like a hundred pounds, soaking wet, frail.

01:25:12.000 They were rarely arranged at such a young age.

01:25:14.000 But it's not forced.

01:25:16.000 Arranged marriage is not forced marriage.

01:25:18.000 Then how could it be arranged at all?

01:25:19.000 You're allowing the parents to judge the merits of the other person.

01:25:23.000 Yeah.

01:25:23.000 Because they're older and more wise.

01:25:25.000 So you're saying, like, when a woman is about to become an adult or whatever, the parents decide, oh, we found this guy for you, get married to him?

01:25:31.000 The guy's parents are involved as well.

01:25:33.000 If it's not forced, it's not arranged.

01:25:35.000 The families are... It's just like a mom suggesting a guy.

01:25:37.000 Like, honey, you should marry the guy across the street.

01:25:39.000 He's dreaming.

01:25:39.000 Like, no, I don't want to.

01:25:40.000 And they're talking to the families and working it out.

01:25:42.000 Love is about compromise anyway, you know.

01:25:46.000 I feel like the obsession with, like, marrying for love as well is very hyper-individualistic.

01:25:51.000 Yeah, there's a lot of different type of love.

01:25:53.000 Yeah.

01:25:53.000 And it's kind of, you know, if you're like, I love this sandwich so much, like, what kind of love?

01:26:00.000 I think love is also a choice and not a feeling in a lot of ways.

01:26:03.000 I think too many people equate it with a feeling.

01:26:05.000 That's what I was saying.

01:26:06.000 Like, people, like, I think our generation and younger are led to believe because of movies that, you know, you walk into a bar and there's, like, a beautiful woman and it's like, My heart be still I'm in love and it's just like yeah, and then you find out she's like a white supremacist You know and you're like, whoa, I don't want to be like she's attractive but not I'm not going there You know, like you sound like this has happened to you No, I just mean like

01:26:31.000 You see a beautiful woman and it turns out she's just like messed up. 1.00

01:26:35.000 There could be like a pretty lady and you're like, wow, she's beautiful. 1.00

01:26:37.000 And then she's like, the people from the moon have stolen my cheese.

01:26:40.000 And you're like, okay, I'm getting out of here.

01:26:42.000 Or, you know, I don't know, maybe your guy was into that kind of crazy wild ride.

01:26:45.000 Maybe she was just eating candies with Ian for a moment.

01:26:48.000 I'm down to go to the moon, bro.

01:26:50.000 You find someone that you have things in common with, where you can have fun, you can get along and you enjoy each other's company.

01:26:55.000 And then over time you build a relationship.

01:26:56.000 Yeah, you said it was a choice.

01:26:58.000 So like define that.

01:26:59.000 I mean, you choose to love people.

01:27:01.000 I think even your family and people, they don't always act in ways that are... You choose to will the good of another.

01:27:09.000 Yeah.

01:27:10.000 So the choice being like, you're accepting the downsides of the person?

01:27:17.000 Yeah, I mean, as long as they're not abusive or toxic.

01:27:21.000 All the crazy people just need to be with each other and then leave all the same people alone.

01:27:24.000 Yeah, there should be like a crazy people dating app. 0.70

01:27:28.000 Oh, you mean all of them?

01:27:29.000 For all the rejects?

01:27:31.000 Yeah.

01:27:31.000 Tinder is one of the worst, too.

01:27:33.000 What are your favorites?

01:27:33.000 Like, what are your top three dating apps?

01:27:35.000 I didn't really use them.

01:27:36.000 You never used them?

01:27:37.000 I had Tinder, Bumble, and OKCupid.

01:27:39.000 Did you ever use any of those?

01:27:41.000 I was on Okcupid a long time ago.

01:27:43.000 I got it at first because I was building mines and I was like, we were going to add a Tinder thing into the thing.

01:27:48.000 So me and Bill were like, hey, market research.

01:27:50.000 Let's get it.

01:27:50.000 And it was so addictive.

01:27:51.000 I'd spent hours just like swiping.

01:27:53.000 I'm like, this is the most superficial stuff I've ever done in my life.

01:27:57.000 I'm judging each individual human woman.

01:28:00.000 It's like a little game.

01:28:01.000 We don't even need it anymore.

01:28:02.000 With all the data we've collected, an AI can just be like, boom, this is your match.

01:28:06.000 You're done.

01:28:06.000 The AI does the arranged marriage.

01:28:08.000 Okay, arranged marriage.

01:28:09.000 Yes.

01:28:10.000 AI arranged marriage.

01:28:11.000 I guarantee you this.

01:28:13.000 I would bet a large sum of money that if you took all the data from all the dating apps

01:28:17.000 and then plugged in the data to like an AI, the AI could find your match instantly.

01:28:22.000 That's a black mirror episode.

01:28:24.000 And then you'd be like, because it knows where you're from, it knows how old you are, it knows how much you weigh.

01:28:31.000 You could do like one of those- I mean, if you want to put that in, but I'm saying look- It can't account for your personality.

01:28:38.000 Yes, it can because OkCupid does that thing where it asks you all the questions.

01:28:41.000 It knows when you poop, so it can like be like, oh, people poop around the same time of day.

01:28:45.000 Facebook could do it.

01:28:47.000 Facebook, check it out.

01:28:48.000 That's what it was supposed to be.

01:28:49.000 Facebook would understand things about you in weird ways.

01:28:53.000 Like, you don't need to tell Facebook you're a conservative.

01:28:58.000 Facebook can see your post where you say MAGA 2024.

01:29:01.000 You don't need to tell Facebook that you enjoy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because you once posted an image of a blue circle.

01:29:08.000 And it seems completely unrelated.

01:29:10.000 But there will be weird things like that.

01:29:13.000 Where statistically, people who like peanut butter and jelly for some reason are more likely to post blue circles than red squares.

01:29:20.000 And we don't notice those things, but the AI will because it's looking at hundreds of millions of internet interactions and then finding statistical correlations.

01:29:28.000 So they already do that.

01:29:30.000 If you buy turkey bacon, you're more likely to vote Democrat.

01:29:33.000 And these political parties already use different data like that.

01:29:36.000 It's really scary the amount of data.

01:29:37.000 Have you ever looked at your Google profile?

01:29:39.000 Turkey bacon?

01:29:40.000 Yes. 0.99

01:29:40.000 Or if you drive a Subaru, you're more likely to vote Democrat or be a lesbian. 0.99

01:29:44.000 But that's obvious. 0.62

01:29:46.000 That's like, oh, we get it.

01:29:47.000 Somebody who likes turkey bacon is more likely to be left-leaning.

01:29:49.000 But what about something like you go to McDonald's at 7 in the morning.

01:29:54.000 Oh, you're more likely to get oil changes in the third of the month at 7 p.m.

01:29:58.000 Like, weird things that we can't see, it will find those correlations and tell you.

01:30:02.000 That means in dating apps, if it took your social media profile, all of your data, we could easily, at this point, make an AI that would be like, here's your perfect match.

01:30:11.000 I think we're getting- In terms of attractiveness, in terms of location, in terms of personality, the AI would break it all down and be like, based on the people you've messaged, based on the people she's messaged, based on what you like and don't like, the times you go to the bathroom and the food you eat, you should get married.

01:30:26.000 I feel like TikTok could do it too.

01:30:27.000 I mean, the TikTok algorithm is insane.

01:30:29.000 So sometimes it's scary how hyper fixated it is on your life and your interests and everything like that.

01:30:37.000 So I think that could come very soon.

01:30:39.000 Well, how much of a relationship do you think is about shared interests?

01:30:44.000 Like, how important?

01:30:46.000 I think it depends on the interests.

01:30:47.000 I think it's more important to have shared values rather than interests.

01:30:52.000 I think interests are temporary and can be switched out and changed.

01:30:55.000 I'm not interested in some of the same things that I was years ago, but I think values is more important.

01:31:02.000 I agree because sometimes it's fun to be dating somebody and then they have a different interest.

01:31:07.000 You don't always want to do just the things that you know.

01:31:09.000 You want to be exposed to new things.

01:31:10.000 You don't want to just have exactly the same interest as somebody else because what more is there to talk about after a certain point?

01:31:16.000 You've already seen all that.

01:31:18.000 You've already done all that stuff.

01:31:19.000 It's very surface level.

01:31:21.000 I agree.

01:31:22.000 Shared values being like morals, ethics kind of thing?

01:31:25.000 Yes.

01:31:27.000 I mean, especially, I used to tell people that all the time when they'd ask, oh, should I, you know, my girlfriend's a Democrat.

01:31:32.000 I'm like, well, get out!

01:31:33.000 How does that happen?

01:31:34.000 I don't know, and that's what I said.

01:31:36.000 I said, there is a fundamental difference in the values of Democrats and Republicans.

01:31:40.000 That's not going to work.

01:31:42.000 I mean, what happens if she gets pregnant? 1.00

01:31:44.000 First of all, you know, there's just such a... It's like, I can save her, I can fix her.

01:31:48.000 That's what it is.

01:31:49.000 Well, I mean, that's partly true.

01:31:52.000 Women who get married tend to vote Republican. 1.00

01:31:55.000 But it could be because women who have Republican leanings are more likely to get married. 1.00

01:31:59.000 The marriage may not be the catalyst, it may be the inverse.

01:32:03.000 You never know, I guess, but I will tell you, millennials seem to be extremely unhappy, particularly millennial, Gen Z, and younger women.

01:32:10.000 They have very high suicide attempt rates, very high depression and anxiety.

01:32:14.000 So there's no—you can't come to me and be like, no, they're happier than ever.

01:32:17.000 They're not statistically It's nuts because like it's the hottest girl.

01:32:21.000 I mean that girl is beautiful who is talking like this, like this, and she doesn't have a boyfriend.

01:32:25.000 Are you kidding me?

01:32:26.000 Like if I was 22... Something is fundamentally broken.

01:32:29.000 No, no, no.

01:32:29.000 Ian, Ian, are you joking?

01:32:31.000 Why would a guy do the extra work and make himself monogamous with her when feminism says he can have her and all the other women all at the same time? 1.00

01:32:42.000 Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?

01:32:45.000 And that's what feminism did. 1.00

01:32:48.000 You know what a shotgun wedding is?

01:32:49.000 Yep.

01:32:50.000 That was because dudes would go bang the girl in the barn and the father would run with a shotgun and be like, uh-uh, that was my daughter, now you're married.

01:32:56.000 And the guy was like, aw, shucks.

01:32:58.000 The meme was that the guy didn't want to get married, he just wanted to hook up, but there were moral obligations to a woman. 0.98

01:33:04.000 Women had leverage. 1.00

01:33:05.000 Now, it's all free, baby.

01:33:07.000 She's like, I got nothing.

01:33:08.000 Because of, uh... You're like, she should have a boyfriend. 0.98

01:33:10.000 She's attractive. 0.97

01:33:11.000 I mean, maybe 20, 30, 40 years ago.

01:33:14.000 But now, a guy hooks up with her and says, I can call her whenever I want and she'll be there because she wants me and I don't have to give her anything.

01:33:22.000 Oh my gosh, but that's a good thing.

01:33:24.000 Well, not the not-give-her-anything thing, but call her whenever you want kind of thing.

01:33:27.000 That's a good thing.

01:33:28.000 Except she wants him— For men.

01:33:30.000 —to be in a relationship, and he doesn't have to be anymore.

01:33:32.000 But she needs to take responsibility and not hook up with a guy thinking that it's going to convince him to commit to her.

01:33:38.000 I understand.

01:33:39.000 The entire question.

01:33:39.000 Yes, yes, yes.

01:33:40.000 I understand.

01:33:41.000 Except this woman says to the guy, hey, I want to be in a relationship, and he goes, lady, I got 50 women on Tinder right now saying the opposite of what you're saying. 1.00

01:33:51.000 See ya.

01:33:52.000 It depends on what he wants.

01:33:54.000 Yep.

01:33:54.000 There are probably a lot of older guys who are like, I want to have a relationship with someone now.

01:33:57.000 There are young guys who want relationships too.

01:33:59.000 It's just, it depends on, uh, I guess your maturity level.

01:34:03.000 I used to be like... Agreed.

01:34:06.000 Get to know the girl.

01:34:06.000 We were best friends for like a year, then we became boyfriend and girlfriend for like seven years after that.

01:34:11.000 But we were already best friends.

01:34:12.000 And then after that, didn't really work out.

01:34:15.000 And then I just was like, you know, if she's not gonna have sex on the first date, I'm not interested.

01:34:18.000 And so that was how I... You said that to her?

01:34:20.000 To myself.

01:34:21.000 I was like, from now on while I'm dating, if she doesn't want to hook up, then she doesn't want to hook up. 0.99

01:34:24.000 And that was my mentality.

01:34:26.000 And I found a girl for four years, didn't work out, you know.

01:34:29.000 The recent girl, we hooked up pretty quick.

01:34:31.000 That's true feminism. 1.00

01:34:33.000 It's true.

01:34:33.000 So like fourth wave feminism where we're at?

01:34:35.000 Yeah, they have to put out.

01:34:37.000 Yeah, that was my... because it's like exhausting.

01:34:39.000 Like, does she even like me? 0.96

01:34:40.000 Like, why is she not having sex with me? 1.00

01:34:41.000 I'm 34 years old. 0.93

01:34:43.000 Like, I don't have time.

01:34:43.000 Maybe it's because I was just getting older.

01:34:45.000 And like, I'm still in that dating... still in that dating pool that I'm like, I don't want to... I don't want to wait and see on this one.

01:34:50.000 Like, is it happening or not?

01:34:52.000 Well, let's ask the audience.

01:34:53.000 We're gonna go to Super Chats.

01:34:54.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, and become a member at TimCast.com.

01:35:01.000 Head over to TimCast.com, click join us.

01:35:03.000 We're gonna have a live members-only show where we expand upon many of these ideas.

01:35:08.000 We've got some pretty dark subject matter for you tonight, and it's gonna be uncensored and not so family-friendly, so that's why it'll be on TimCast.com, but let's read your Super Chats.

01:35:16.000 I'm Not Your Buddy Guy says, I'm not your guy, friend.

01:35:18.000 I'm not your friend, buddy.

01:35:21.000 I need, Jesus says Matthew 24, 4 through 13, 2, Timothy 13 through 2, or Timothy 3, 1 through

01:35:29.000 7, and John 6, 37 through 39. Does anyone know those? What that's a reference to?

01:35:33.000 Nope.

01:35:33.000 No.

01:35:33.000 I just registered that as a mess of numbers.

01:35:37.000 Ah, yes.

01:35:37.000 It's a Bible verse.

01:35:38.000 Well, I want to thank everybody for letting me empathize with neuroses that I think a lot of kids, young people are going through.

01:35:44.000 I'm actually in an extremely awesome relationship at the moment, so you know.

01:35:47.000 I'm not really nervous about myself, but I'm allowing myself to freak out a little bit.

01:35:52.000 All right, Rusty.

01:35:53.000 Yeah, it's intense.

01:35:53.000 I'm shaking a little bit.

01:35:55.000 Let's read some more.

01:35:56.000 Rusty Shekelford says, would IRC happen to be in the running for members only chat protocol now that Discord is out for the moment?

01:36:02.000 No, the Discord is almost done.

01:36:03.000 And so we'll go with that and we'll see what happens.

01:36:05.000 But IRC was a really funny idea.

01:36:08.000 It's a good idea.

01:36:08.000 The problem is we just have to create like a new IRC server every morning or something.

01:36:11.000 It'd be kind of weird.

01:36:12.000 And then anybody could just share and give access to it.

01:36:15.000 So what we're trying to do is create a system where if you're a member at TimCast.com, it gives you access to the Discord, which is relatively easy to do.

01:36:22.000 But yeah, agreed.

01:36:23.000 I don't trust Discord.

01:36:24.000 However, I will say, like, we're not banned from YouTube.

01:36:27.000 So I'm not super worried about getting banned from Discord.

01:36:30.000 I just don't like it.

01:36:31.000 And when we were thinking about doing a different service, they're probably worse.

01:36:36.000 So we'll figure it out.

01:36:39.000 All right, Damian Masters says, yo, you hear Discover Card is gonna start tracking their customers' gun purchases?

01:36:44.000 Oh, wow, really?

01:36:44.000 Wow.

01:36:45.000 Well, I got rid of mine, so how about that?

01:36:48.000 Yeah, that's a whole other private story, so.

01:36:51.000 Corey Alexander says, Ashley St.

01:36:53.000 Clair is on, so this episode is gonna be based AF.

01:36:56.000 As it was, as it was.

01:36:59.000 Matthew Schneider says, Biden Federman 2024.

01:37:01.000 It's a no-brainer!

01:37:03.000 Yep, that's a classic, that's a classic.

01:37:06.000 All right, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:37:07.000 says, Tim, man, the fire in your eyes at Wesley's Trek mistake.

01:37:10.000 I thought a dropkick was coming.

01:37:12.000 The Chinese spy balloon skit with Taylor.

01:37:12.000 Hilarious.

01:37:14.000 It burns.

01:37:15.000 Keep them coming, y'all.

01:37:15.000 I'm still giggling.

01:37:16.000 Yeah, so check out Cast Castle on TimCast.com.

01:37:20.000 And we've got another one that we're planning that I'm really excited for.

01:37:24.000 Basically, we're just, it's a combination of, they're sketches, right?

01:37:29.000 We're doing sketches that mock cultural issues.

01:37:32.000 So, you know, and then there's gags in them.

01:37:35.000 You guys gotta collab with The B. I mean, that'd be great.

01:37:38.000 We'd love to.

01:37:38.000 Collab with us.

01:37:39.000 We've got a lot of videos.

01:37:40.000 Ian did a really funny sketch where he was the host of a show called Rian with Ian.

01:37:44.000 And he's basically Crowder.

01:37:46.000 And then he's complaining about his contract with Roberto Jr.

01:37:49.000 The Rooster.

01:37:50.000 And he's got... It's called... It was a play school, Rockin' Robot, where he secretly recorded Roberto's... The Rooster's conversation.

01:37:56.000 You know, that's my resume.

01:37:57.000 I think we should make... We need a hit movie, basically.

01:38:00.000 We, I say, like, as in this movement, political movement.

01:38:02.000 I don't think of that political terms, but we there needs to be a hit movie. That's not out of Hollywood

01:38:06.000 It's not like a decent system of daily wire Babylon beats in cast all these cool networks

01:38:11.000 Make like a hit like lethal weapon hit movie. I'm pitching it to Crowder. I haven't talked to him

01:38:17.000 I don't know where he's at. I haven't seen him in a month.

01:38:19.000 Oh, we could easily do a movie yeah, we just need a good script and

01:38:22.000 six weeks I think I think a comedy, a political comedy movie would be great because the budget can be low and then we would just reach out to people like Ryan Long, you know?

01:38:33.000 He might be... I don't want to... Or the Bambalon Bee?

01:38:36.000 I'm just saying we'd get a bunch of people and then we could do like a funny movie.

01:38:36.000 Well, yeah, of course.

01:38:40.000 Ryan's hilarious too.

01:38:41.000 Yeah.

01:38:42.000 He's so funny.

01:38:43.000 Yeah, he was great on Rogan.

01:38:44.000 You need to watch.

01:38:45.000 I've only seen clips.

01:38:46.000 Oh, is he on?

01:38:47.000 Yep.

01:38:48.000 Good for him.

01:38:50.000 I'm not gonna say maybe I'll maybe I'll dirty jokes, dirty jokes.

01:38:50.000 Yeah, he had one funny one.

01:38:53.000 All right, here we go.

01:38:54.000 Fiji Merman says I had a her she bar.

01:38:57.000 I was expecting plain chocolate, but I took off the wrapper and saw giant nuts.

01:39:01.000 Haha, that was a good one.

01:39:05.000 Amenthy says stay alive, John Fetterman.

01:39:07.000 We only need your corporeal form.

01:39:10.000 Indeed.

01:39:12.000 MF Damien says hardcore depression after major accomplishments is common.

01:39:16.000 The goal doesn't give meaning, the chase does.

01:39:18.000 Once you have it, what now?

01:39:19.000 Messes people up.

01:39:21.000 That's why I firmly recommend to children skateboarding.

01:39:24.000 There was a great article I read when I was younger, it was called What Now?

01:39:27.000 And it talks about how, in skateboarding, you'll go to this stair set.

01:39:31.000 Big set is very tall and you're going to jump down.

01:39:34.000 And you're trying to do a 360 kickflip off of that stair set and land it.

01:39:38.000 And it's your dream trick.

01:39:39.000 It's the hardest thing.

01:39:40.000 You want to do it.

01:39:41.000 You've tried it a couple times.

01:39:42.000 You've bailed.

01:39:43.000 Finally, you come back with your friends and you're like, today's the day, and you land it.

01:39:46.000 And for about three seconds, it feels good.

01:39:49.000 And then you stop, pick up your board, and it's gone.

01:39:52.000 Now what?

01:39:54.000 What now?

01:39:55.000 Do it again.

01:39:55.000 It's over.

01:39:56.000 No, doing it again won't give you that feeling.

01:39:59.000 Another metaphor is like playing Magic the Gathering when you build your own deck and then you win.

01:40:04.000 It's so much more fulfilling than just getting a deck from someone and winning.

01:40:08.000 Like, having created the value, I think, is the value.

01:40:11.000 So I'll say this.

01:40:13.000 For me, with skateboarding, it got to the point where there's, like, nothing left for me to do.

01:40:19.000 I've been skating since I was about 13, and all the tricks I've wanted to do, I've done.

01:40:25.000 And there are some things, obviously, like, I'm not the best skateboarder in the world.

01:40:28.000 There's a lot of things I can't do.

01:40:30.000 I'm never gonna do, like, a kickflip McTwist or anything, but I've never been passionate about that.

01:40:34.000 So all the things I wanted to do, I've done, gotten the dopamine release, and now I'm like, in my mid-30s, and I'm like, I like skating, you know, I'll do some tricks here and there, but I have no desire to do a nollie heel flip crook, you know, big spin out or something, because, like, I did that when I was a teenager, like, the feeling isn't there anymore.

01:40:51.000 So now it's mostly just about cruising around, doing some big ollies, getting a few kick flips, heel flips, maybe a few good flip tricks, some, you know, late flips in.

01:41:00.000 skating the mini ramp and just cruising around carving hitting some grinds you

01:41:02.000 get the flow of things and it feels good you get the exercise

01:41:05.000 but that drive to like I don't know you know switch flip blunt

01:41:09.000 is just not there anymore. What if Elon said he wants you to come kick flip

01:41:12.000 on a spaceship? There's probably better people he could ask to do that.

01:41:18.000 He asked you, Tim.

01:41:19.000 Then would you go?

01:41:20.000 I mean, I guess.

01:41:22.000 Kickflip your way to Mars.

01:41:27.000 I don't know.

01:41:28.000 I wouldn't go to Mars.

01:41:30.000 Kickflip off the roof, please, Tim.

01:41:32.000 It would be weird to do a low gravity kickflip.

01:41:34.000 I don't know.

01:41:35.000 I can't imagine.

01:41:36.000 But I'm just saying, like, as you get older, when you're young, you see these things and you're like, I want to do that so bad.

01:41:41.000 And then when you're older, you're like, yeah, I did all that stuff.

01:41:43.000 TimCast, SpaceX, collaboration.

01:41:46.000 We make a music video in space on one of those re-entryable rockets.

01:41:50.000 Or we'll go up in one of those, maybe.

01:41:51.000 It's really interesting that the article you were talking about for the skateboarding was called What Now?

01:41:55.000 Yeah, that's what it was called.

01:41:56.000 What Now?

01:41:58.000 Yep.

01:41:59.000 Matt Kinder says, I'd love to play a game of Magic with any of the cast members.

01:42:02.000 Do any of you have an Arena account?

01:42:04.000 Yeah, I think I do.

01:42:04.000 Do you have an Arena account?

01:42:05.000 I don't use it, though.

01:42:06.000 I don't play a lot online.

01:42:07.000 Well, I have a really good idea.

01:42:09.000 We are going to, with Poker with the Boys show, we're getting a poker table, but it's really like a tabletop table, right?

01:42:16.000 When you play Magic the Gathering with your buddies, you use a poker table because it's a card game and we could do board games.

01:42:21.000 But I had this really great idea of doing two things.

01:42:24.000 The internet plays Magic the Gathering.

01:42:26.000 The internet plays poker.

01:42:27.000 Here's what we do.

01:42:29.000 We get five... For Magic, maybe we get five, six players.

01:42:33.000 Maybe that's too many, maybe four.

01:42:35.000 But one player takes actions based on what the audience in the live chat is voting on.

01:42:41.000 So they'll show the cards.

01:42:42.000 We'll need to make like a real-time system where people can get an app and then see the cards in the hand and then pick the actions they want.

01:42:50.000 And then whatever the most actions get voted on, the player will do.

01:42:53.000 You could have it like, you show the cards in your hand, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and they just put the number, play card number 4.

01:42:59.000 And then it tracks the percentages.

01:43:01.000 And then what happens is, there's a thing called priority.

01:43:05.000 That's right, priority, right?

01:43:06.000 In magic.

01:43:06.000 And so, when someone plays a creature, if you have a counterspell, priority goes to you, you ask the audience, they spam it, you give it five seconds, say, okay.

01:43:15.000 Tap! 0.99

01:43:15.000 Counterspell! 0.99

01:43:16.000 Boom! 0.99

01:43:16.000 The world has chosen. 0.99

01:43:17.000 So you're not really even playing, you're just the vessel.

01:43:20.000 Right, the audience watching.

01:43:21.000 For the internet to tell you what to do.

01:43:22.000 Yeah, I thought that'd be fun.

01:43:23.000 And I thought, like, we could do with a bunch of different things.

01:43:26.000 Poker, board games.

01:43:28.000 Create us an app where people can vote on what to do and then see if we can get, like, a pro Magic player to beat the entire internet.

01:43:35.000 Did you guys see the guy who built a software program where you can play pool on a video game and it controls his pool stick and shoots the actual pool and then he has a camera on his table?

01:43:45.000 That's very cool.

01:43:46.000 He's got a big YouTube channel.

01:43:48.000 All right, let's read some more.

01:43:49.000 Smig says brain dead is actually used in the medical field, but the term is actually called death by neurological criteria.

01:43:56.000 Really? 0.79

01:43:56.000 Nerd. 0.79

01:43:56.000 Is that a nerd? 0.79

01:43:58.000 I'm kidding.

01:44:01.000 Son of a Murph says, Ian removing the DNR would make the everyday person have to pay attention during the election cycles.

01:44:07.000 Pay attention?

01:44:09.000 We've been talking about it for a long time.

01:44:11.000 Yes.

01:44:12.000 Because then they're gonna be like, vote Democrat, and they're gonna go, who's that?

01:44:15.000 Get rid of it.

01:44:15.000 If they don't know who they're voting for, they shouldn't be voting for them.

01:44:18.000 Good luck.

01:44:19.000 We did a we did a we did a cast castle sketch where we had MTG play MTG

01:44:19.000 Figure it out.

01:44:24.000 Now with Ian Marjorie Taylor Greene played Magic the Gathering and she asked she beats Ian and Ian gets really mad

01:44:30.000 And he's like, okay, and then he's outside. She actually played she did it. She doesn't she's

01:44:36.000 We told her what to say, and she performed it perfectly.

01:44:38.000 Oh, I love that.

01:44:39.000 I just love when she's like, Ian plays Wrath of God, and then she taps the blue, and she goes, Mana Drain.

01:44:44.000 And Ian's like, God!

01:44:47.000 People who know what that means find it funny.

01:44:48.000 If you don't, it's esoteric.

01:44:49.000 Got it in one take.

01:44:50.000 Nice job.

01:44:50.000 Yeah, she did a great job.

01:44:52.000 We gotta really, I wish I could tell you the joke for the one we're doing now, but it's too good, so I can't.

01:44:56.000 It's like, we're gonna put it up on YouTube and everyone's gonna laugh when they see it.

01:45:01.000 I just, I can't, I'm gonna stop there.

01:45:02.000 Do you actually, Thomas Martin thinks Tim Definitely plays White, Green, Cat, Deck.

01:45:09.000 No, I play Red, White, and Blue.

01:45:12.000 Red, white, and blue, baby.

01:45:12.000 Those are my colors.

01:45:13.000 America.

01:45:14.000 Shocking.

01:45:16.000 One of my favorite decks is red, white, and blue.

01:45:17.000 So there's... Kykar.

01:45:19.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:45:19.000 Nasty. 0.99

01:45:20.000 But mostly blue. 0.95

01:45:21.000 It's control.

01:45:22.000 So that's the color for, you know, control and manipulation.

01:45:24.000 You can see the red magic come out of his eyes sometimes when he's getting fired up.

01:45:28.000 Yeah, so red is like chaos and aggression.

01:45:30.000 And so I like playing red and blue, which is chaos and control.

01:45:33.000 It's a mix.

01:45:34.000 And then, you know, it is what it is.

01:45:35.000 Let's read some more.

01:45:36.000 What do we got here?

01:45:37.000 Some more Super Chats.

01:45:38.000 Clint Torres says, I think Fetterman is in for an experimental treatment and one day is going to come out in a press conference, rip open his suit to expose a Superman symbol and yell, hey, you guys.

01:45:48.000 Look, man, they've got stuff.

01:45:50.000 OK, let me just say stuff.

01:45:52.000 It's like $8,000 stem cell treatments.

01:45:55.000 We got Bocas, the cat, stem cells to save his kidneys.

01:45:59.000 And it seems to be working.

01:46:00.000 You think they're gonna do that for Fetterman? 0.95

01:46:02.000 I think they're gonna let him wither and die.

01:46:06.000 I don't think they're giving him any stem cells.

01:46:08.000 Maybe.

01:46:09.000 They're saving that for Hillary. 1.00

01:46:11.000 Erukane says, use locals for your members chat.

01:46:15.000 Um, maybe, but we need more than that.

01:46:19.000 With Discord, you can do call-ins.

01:46:21.000 Yeah, it's a little deeper.

01:46:22.000 Yeah.

01:46:23.000 And we can create different rooms.

01:46:24.000 So we can actually create, like, the VIP lounge elite access, you know, or whatever.

01:46:29.000 And it's like, I'd rather have it be based on, like, time frames.

01:46:32.000 Like, you become a member, and then if you've been a member for a certain amount of time, you move up in the, you know, rooms or whatever.

01:46:39.000 Yeah there'll be like the VIP lounge and it's like if you've been a member longer than three months then you're in the VIP lounge.

01:46:43.000 I wouldn't want to do anything where it's like over a year but maybe because then it's good for us it encourages people to stay members for a long time to go in these rooms.

01:46:51.000 You gotta show respect to your veterans.

01:46:53.000 That's right and we'll put Ian in the room.

01:46:55.000 Oh my god.

01:46:56.000 We'll put Ian in the VIP lounge.

01:46:58.000 But I'm only gonna chat with video or audio I don't want to do text.

01:47:01.000 And it'll be like if you've been a member for at least a year then you're in the room with Ian as he's playing video games.

01:47:06.000 That's pretty cool.

01:47:07.000 Yeah.

01:47:08.000 And you can play video games with Ian.

01:47:09.000 He's so happy.

01:47:10.000 He's so happy.

01:47:11.000 Let's play some Jaws.

01:47:11.000 That's right.

01:47:12.000 Baldur's Gate 3.

01:47:13.000 All right.

01:47:14.000 Son of a Murph says, Donald Trump Jr.

01:47:15.000 has bank account canceled.

01:47:17.000 News?

01:47:17.000 What?

01:47:18.000 Really?

01:47:18.000 What?

01:47:18.000 Is that?

01:47:19.000 Let me pull up the old Don Jr.

01:47:21.000 Twitter account.

01:47:21.000 I bet it was Chase.

01:47:23.000 It was what?

01:47:23.000 Bamboozled you.

01:47:24.000 I bet it was Chase.

01:47:25.000 It was Chase?

01:47:26.000 Chase canceled it?

01:47:26.000 I don't know.

01:47:27.000 I said I bet it was Chase.

01:47:28.000 Let me see.

01:47:28.000 All right.

01:47:30.000 Whoa, what?

01:47:32.000 PNC Bank shut down the bank account for my app, MXM News, without any explanation?

01:47:38.000 What?

01:47:39.000 You give a speech at, this is a quote, you give a speech at one insurrection.

01:47:44.000 Wait, is that what he said?

01:47:45.000 It looks like that's a quote from him.

01:47:46.000 I knew this was coming.

01:47:47.000 Is that what he said?

01:47:48.000 I knew Kanye was the star.

01:47:48.000 That's the quote from Alternet.com.

01:47:52.000 Whoa.

01:47:54.000 That's crazy.

01:47:55.000 Debanked.

01:47:56.000 At the beginning, after being told to call a generic helpline, I was informed by the PNC representative that per the terms and conditions, PNC reserves the right to reevaluate their business relationships at any time and terminate accounts without cause.

01:48:09.000 Well, you know who just started a bank?

01:48:10.000 John Rich.

01:48:13.000 This is what happens.

01:48:17.000 This is what happens and this is why, and I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me here, but I was very concerned with the compulsion to disavow Kanye.

01:48:29.000 Because he had just been banned from Chase Bank.

01:48:34.000 And that, to me, no matter what he said, is really scary.

01:48:38.000 But conservatives, even if they had never said anything even remotely similar to what Kanye said, they had this compulsion to disavow, which makes it worse.

01:48:46.000 The debanking had been a thing for a long time before it even happened to Kanye.

01:48:50.000 It set the precedent that that's just acceptable.

01:48:53.000 We got we got I got to read this was a good one.

01:48:55.000 Eric Christensen says, I have a question to ask about the title of this episode.

01:48:59.000 Rumored?

01:49:01.000 The title of the episode is Fetterman Rumored Braindead.

01:49:04.000 And okay, figuratively, he's braindead.

01:49:06.000 Literally, it's rumored that he's braindead.

01:49:08.000 Okay, so we can call Fetterman braindead if we mean he's just not functioning properly.

01:49:14.000 But in this context, it was like, the rumors that he's literally in a chair drooling and going and like not functioning anymore, but good super jet.

01:49:22.000 Very funny.

01:49:24.000 Alright, what do we got here?

01:49:27.000 Heron Gaming News says, I can hear Luke going, reee, when Tim said anarchist society doesn't work.

01:49:33.000 It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

01:49:35.000 Every attempt at an anarchist society has been crushed militaristically.

01:49:38.000 I'm not saying it's not ideal or that we couldn't implement it in the future.

01:49:41.000 I'm saying historically, every time there's been a community of anarchists, they've been crushed by outside forces.

01:49:46.000 Short-lived.

01:49:48.000 A bunch of people sitting around being like, let's vote on how to deal with the insurgent hordes that are storming into our territories.

01:49:56.000 And then by the time they figure it out, it's gone.

01:50:00.000 So there's always some kind of mix.

01:50:01.000 There's always some kind of executive.

01:50:03.000 It's when the executive knows that it's dangerous situations is when they're needed, is when they create dangerous situations so that they're needed.

01:50:10.000 That's when the anarchy needs to step up.

01:50:13.000 Let's just make it Michael Malice and call it good.

01:50:18.000 It's February.

01:50:18.000 Red Rum Max says, funny how Ian has on his Twitter pin

01:50:23.000 that he will build muscle this year and yet is as sickly looking as ever.

01:50:27.000 It's February.

01:50:28.000 No, it's March.

01:50:29.000 It's March.

01:50:30.000 Ian, you look great.

01:50:31.000 I'm not healthy. 0.75

01:50:32.000 I think I have a parasite.

01:50:33.000 I need to cleanse my body, fix my dental work.

01:50:35.000 I just had a tooth break today.

01:50:37.000 I need to fix my teeth.

01:50:38.000 I'm like the United States.

01:50:39.000 I'm like a shell that's not being kept up.

01:50:42.000 I haven't been taking care of myself.

01:50:43.000 I haven't been getting enough sunlight.

01:50:44.000 Just put on the muscle suit and come on the show.

01:50:47.000 and there it is.

01:50:49.000 But I really need to purge my body of disease or whatever the hell's in it right now.

01:50:58.000 I feel like I'm living in pain, but I'm desensitized to the pain.

01:51:01.000 So I haven't been realizing it.

01:51:02.000 Like my jaw hurts.

01:51:04.000 Like almost like constant pain.

01:51:07.000 All right, Thomas Sidebottom says, in the age of deepfakes, the in-person campaign tours will become incredibly powerful.

01:51:12.000 No more basement campaigns.

01:51:15.000 Yep.

01:51:18.000 James Madison's Ghost says AI deepfake videos will become the fake news headlines that get shadow changed a day later after everyone has already read them, misinforming people.

01:51:28.000 Yeah man, the Trump example of disavowing white supremacists is exactly it.

01:51:32.000 They will make a deepfake, alter one word to make it sound worse, and that's all liberals will see.

01:51:39.000 Welcome to the future.

01:51:41.000 Dorktanian says you're very optimistic about this.

01:51:43.000 There are going to be bots automatically feeding news stories to the AI skewed in their favor to have instant deepfakes created as the stories pop up.

01:51:52.000 Yup.

01:51:54.000 So we're using AI for TimCast.com news articles.

01:51:58.000 When there's a story, we're taking, not all of it, sometimes we'll just get a picture of the guy and we're making our own custom art for everything.

01:52:06.000 But some of it is AI deepfake in that, like, we did a story about Pete Buttigieg and the train derailment.

01:52:11.000 So our news team just AI-generated a Pete Buttigieg art with a train derailment art, and that's what we used for the story.

01:52:18.000 It's not a real picture.

01:52:19.000 No one would confuse it as being a real picture because it looks like a painting.

01:52:23.000 But we're using AI for the characterization of these things.

01:52:26.000 I wonder if photorealistic art AI stuff should be watermarked or banned.

01:52:34.000 Nope.

01:52:34.000 You'll never be able to ban it.

01:52:36.000 Free speech.

01:52:38.000 Free speech to make you say something?

01:52:40.000 I don't know about that. I don't know if we did the Star Trek joke in this cast in the cast

01:52:44.000 cast castle episode, but considering it's already out anyway, I'm going to say it but um

01:52:49.000 we took we uh Captain Picard and Data and deep faked a conversation between the two between the

01:52:56.000 two of them where Data accuses Picard of being racist because of disparaging remarks about Klingons.

01:53:02.000 And, you know, my brother made a funny joke about it.

01:53:05.000 I don't know if it's actually in the episode, but that was an idea I had where I was like, If the gag is the camera comes into the room and I'm sitting there watching Star Trek, then we can make Star Trek say whatever we want.

01:53:18.000 On the TV?

01:53:19.000 Yes.

01:53:19.000 Oh, yeah.

01:53:20.000 So it's like I'm sitting there watching the TV and you can see like the Enterprise fly in and then it cuts to my face and you hear Data being like, I just can't quite figure out how to give it to her properly, sir.

01:53:31.000 Well, Data, you have to try and thrust, thrust, you know, things like that.

01:53:34.000 And then I'm just going like, hmm, this is a good episode.

01:53:36.000 So we can do- we can make any show say anything we want.

01:53:39.000 Oh my god.

01:53:40.000 Yeah, we could like- we- and we should just do it all the time because it's hilarious.

01:53:43.000 But this one was particularly offensive, so.

01:53:46.000 I don't know if it made it in the episode, I don't know.

01:53:48.000 But all I know is if it did, it was hilariously edgy.

01:53:51.000 It was good.

01:53:52.000 I'll talk about it in the members-only show.

01:53:55.000 All right, where are we at?

01:53:56.000 Matthew Waddell.

01:53:58.000 Like Adam Selene, the AI leader of the rebel movement in Heinlein's The Moon, is a harsh mistress.

01:54:04.000 The book was written in the 60s.

01:54:07.000 Interesting.

01:54:09.000 All right, where are we at?

01:54:11.000 Ewape says, need to start attributing a cryptographic hash to metadata of official videos.

01:54:16.000 Can't use legally if the hash doesn't match public key.

01:54:19.000 Nope, because there's screen grabs, because there's compression, because there's downloads.

01:54:25.000 So you can try and attach metadata tags to things, but there will be, as soon as Trump gives a speech, there will be 15 versions of that speech on the internet.

01:54:34.000 Figure out which one's the real one, and what they'll do is the fake ones, they'll get meta tags too, and they'll say, no, ours is the real one.

01:54:39.000 Then you'll get nefarious actors that will film it, Deepfake it.

01:54:42.000 The actual press will be at the event.

01:54:45.000 They will film Trump Speak.

01:54:46.000 Then they will deepfake alter it, put a meta tag on it, and be like, that's the real one.

01:54:50.000 Here's proof.

01:54:51.000 A picture of me at the event.

01:54:52.000 What are you gonna do about it?

01:54:53.000 What are you gonna do?

01:54:54.000 Maybe supply the original meta tags and be like, this is the original.

01:54:58.000 This is the earliest date.

01:55:00.000 If the date's in the meta tag.

01:55:01.000 I don't know if that stuff can be forged.

01:55:02.000 If you have a technical solution, you think you do, hit me up on Twitter with it.

01:55:06.000 I want to give a shout out to, I think it's Mel and Rye.

01:55:10.000 Rock, Paper, Scissors, Anime is an amazing video.

01:55:13.000 I talked about this a little bit, I think, earlier.

01:55:15.000 This YouTube channel Corridor Crew.

01:55:18.000 They used AI technology to turn themselves into anime characters.

01:55:23.000 So, in order to make an anime battle, it's anime rock-paper-scissors.

01:55:28.000 Two brothers fight over the throne by playing rock-paper-scissors, and it's actually really funny.

01:55:32.000 Like, when they rock-paper-scissors shoot, there's, like, wind, and, like, the windows all explode, and they're like, ugh!

01:55:37.000 But they filmed themselves in a green screen, then used AI to convert that into anime.

01:55:44.000 Then they took photorealistic environments from Unreal Engine, I think, converted that to anime, to animation style, and then made this show without actually drawing anything.

01:56:00.000 But we're not gonna, in my opinion, it's still rudimentary.

01:56:03.000 I think we're a couple years away from you typing in, make me an anime about two brothers fighting over the throne, and it will just start rendering, and then it'll be like, come back in 10 minutes, boom, here's a 15 minute episode.

01:56:15.000 It's gonna be crazy, because I'm gonna be like, write a sequel to the X-Files movie, where Mulder actually discovers there are aliens, and then I'll watch it, and I'll actually enjoy it.

01:56:24.000 Yeah, I'm thinking like, it's going to be less about making the best piece of art and more about making consistently good art.

01:56:33.000 Because there's going to be so much of it that there might be flash in the pans of this is so great, that's so great, but the really great ones are going to get reused and recopied and reprinted over and over again.

01:56:43.000 So you just need to be known for putting out lots and lots and lots, if you want to make a career in it, I mean.

01:56:48.000 In art.

01:56:49.000 What's that?

01:56:49.000 In art.

01:56:50.000 Yeah, in digital art.

01:56:51.000 Babyleg Bennett says, Ian, the meaning of life is to simply live a life full of meaning.

01:56:56.000 Now please roll me a 77.

01:56:57.000 Okay.

01:56:58.000 Okay.

01:57:00.000 Uh-oh.

01:57:03.000 No, no, that doesn't count.

01:57:04.000 That doesn't count.

01:57:04.000 It fell off.

01:57:07.000 This thing never stops rolling.

01:57:08.000 Yeah, it's quite circular.

01:57:10.000 Oh, where is it going?

01:57:11.000 Okay, it's rolling.

01:57:11.000 Is it gonna be a 77?

01:57:12.000 And it's... Nope.

01:57:14.000 Nope.

01:57:14.000 Decided to keep going.

01:57:15.000 You guys ever do a Ouija board?

01:57:16.000 Where is it?

01:57:16.000 It's gonna fall off.

01:57:17.000 No!

01:57:18.000 Wait, wait! 0.87

01:57:18.000 You should! 0.87

01:57:19.000 No, I should not!

01:57:20.000 75!

01:57:21.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:57:21.000 Close one. 0.71

01:57:22.000 It is 75.

01:57:23.000 Wow.

01:57:23.000 Sorry.

01:57:24.000 Next time.

01:57:25.000 I'm getting better.

01:57:26.000 That's why I wanted to raid this one, because I'm like, if he rolls this and actually 77 comes up.

01:57:29.000 But 75!

01:57:30.000 That's only two points away, man.

01:57:32.000 The prize is a fairly accurate call right there.

01:57:35.000 The price was wrong. 1.00

01:57:37.000 The price is wrong, bitch! 1.00

01:57:38.000 All right, Carlos Y says, Ian, the purpose of kids is to set them up to have an even 1.00

01:57:44.000 better life than you.

01:57:45.000 You don't want them to just have what you have but to exceed you.

01:57:48.000 I half agree.

01:57:51.000 You want – in order for kids to have a better life than you, they have to experience hardship

01:57:54.000 to become strong.

01:57:56.000 So, a big mistake a lot of people make is they raise their kids and say, I want to give my son the things I never had.

01:58:01.000 So I'm going to send him to a good school, and I'm going to buy him a new car, and I'm going to give him all these things I wish I had.

01:58:05.000 And it's like, bro, you are successful because of things you didn't have.

01:58:09.000 Giving your kid all this stuff just means he's going to be entitled when he's older and be like, why won't the government give me a new car?

01:58:14.000 Mm-hmm.

01:58:15.000 So what you should do is, when you have your kid, bring him out to the woods and, you know, teach him to fight and punch trees and start fires and, like, campfires, I mean, obviously.

01:58:23.000 And, you know, survive.

01:58:25.000 Start forest fires.

01:58:28.000 No, no, none of that, none of that.

01:58:31.000 All right.

01:58:32.000 Yeah, but let's be real.

01:58:33.000 Redux says the internet has already destroyed politics long before deepfakes.

01:58:37.000 Politicians do not do their jobs, the only virtue signal on social media.

01:58:40.000 The people that vote for them live in a spectacle economy inundated with depravity.

01:58:44.000 Yeah, but let's be real.

01:58:45.000 Before the internet, you'd get people like Hillary Clinton and they'd go to New York 1.00

01:58:49.000 and be like, you gotta vote for me, because I'm just like you guys, huh?

01:58:53.000 You know, vote for me, yeah.

01:58:54.000 Then they go down to Alabama, be like, you gotta vote for me, cuz I'm just like you.

01:58:58.000 And then they go to Chicago and be like, you know, if you vote for me, I'll get your garage door open or fixed in no time.

01:59:03.000 That's what Hillary Clinton was doing. 1.00

01:59:05.000 Because internet video wasn't a thing when she was younger.

01:59:08.000 So she went down to like Arkansas or whatever and started talking with a Southern drawl and it's like, oh please, New York Senator Hillary Clinton. 0.96

01:59:14.000 Mm-hmm.

01:59:15.000 AOC did the same thing.

01:59:16.000 It's like she has no, she did the Latina thing. 0.93

01:59:18.000 Listen!

01:59:19.000 Yeah.

01:59:20.000 It's not as bad as breakfast tacos from Jill Biden.

01:59:23.000 Oh yeah.

01:59:25.000 Geez.

01:59:27.000 All right, what do we got?

01:59:29.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:59:31.000 says, Ian, sir, please stop blaming 2006 YouTube content.

01:59:35.000 Hey man, don't knock it till you try it.

01:59:38.000 Put your emotions and your truth, honesty and your face on the internet on video after video and listen to people and make responses and create community.

01:59:45.000 Try it.

01:59:46.000 It's not easy.

01:59:48.000 Get him Ian.

01:59:49.000 Alright, let's grab one more real super chat.

01:59:52.000 What do we got?

01:59:52.000 Let's see a good one.

01:59:56.000 Neglectful Sausage says, I've always said Star Trek is racist AF.

01:59:59.000 In Next Generation, Picard says, like a Romulan, or like a Klingon to people, using race as an insult.

02:00:05.000 DS9 was the same.

02:00:08.000 Well, okay, well, yes, that's a good point.

02:00:10.000 And you should watch Cast Castle to see the bit we did, because it's basically that.

02:01:13.000 And I am at surge.com on everything on the internet.

02:01:15.000 I've seen a lot of people pull out my SoundCloud, which is interesting.

02:01:18.000 Thanks.

02:01:19.000 Tomorrow, at 1pm over at youtube.com slash timcast, we will have a hangout interview slash conversation with Pete Parada, formerly of The Offspring, and we're going to talk about the issue he faced with the VAX mandates, how he was unceremoniously removed from The Offspring after 14 years, and I gotta tell you guys a crazy story.

02:01:42.000 So Pete has been in two of the music videos out of three we've done so far.

02:01:47.000 Technically there's four, but two of the ones we've done recently.

02:01:51.000 One's not out yet, it's currently being edited, and he came out here, we filmed.

02:01:54.000 He's amazing, he's an amazing drummer.

02:01:56.000 It's an honor and a privilege for me to get to work with the drummer who was with The Offspring for 14 years, because they were my childhood favorite band.

02:02:04.000 But he's never publicly done an interview about what happened with being kicked out of the band because he's a very humble, you know, kind of quiet guy.

02:02:12.000 But I asked him if he would want to come on and talk about this and give us the full picture and talk about a bunch of other things, and he agreed.

02:02:18.000 So we're going to be recording it tomorrow morning for the Culture War podcast episode two.

02:02:22.000 But here's the crazy story.

02:02:23.000 Last night after this show, I go home, and I'm getting ready for bed, and I press power on the TV.

02:02:31.000 The only thing I press.

02:02:33.000 And because usually I watch like Yellowstone or 1883, but I finished watching those, so I watched some movie last night.

02:02:38.000 So I go into my bedroom, and I turn the TV on, throw the remote in the bed, go into the bathroom, take my contacts out, when all of a sudden I start hearing Kill Boy Powerhead.

02:02:45.000 An offspring song.

02:02:47.000 And I'm like, what?

02:02:48.000 And then I walk out and Allison, my girlfriend, she's like, did you turn this on?

02:02:51.000 And I was like, I turned the TV on.

02:02:54.000 It was The Offspring playing at a rock concert, playing the song Killboy Powerhead, and Pete's playing the drums on the show.

02:03:02.000 And I was like, oh, look, it's Pete.

02:03:04.000 And then Allison's like, you didn't turn this on?

02:03:05.000 And I'm like, all I did was turn the TV on.

02:03:07.000 I didn't turn a channel on.

02:03:08.000 I didn't open Amazon.

02:03:09.000 I didn't do anything.

02:03:10.000 I just pressed power.

02:03:11.000 So I have no idea why that turned on, but it was just kind of crazy.

02:03:15.000 It's on the TV?

02:03:16.000 That's really crazy.

02:03:17.000 Part of the algorithms manipulating us to see what the machine creators want us to see is that... I think it's the Ouija board, Ian.

02:03:23.000 All I did was press power.

02:03:25.000 Sometimes synergy is real.

02:03:26.000 It's like god-like spirituality, and I'm afraid that people might lose the distinction between algorithmic manipulation and God actually moving people together.

02:03:35.000 So look, normally when I turn the TV on, it's static.

02:03:38.000 Like because you get the home bar, it's like an LG and like the bar pops up and you got to pick HBO or Paramount or whatever.

02:03:45.000 And usually it's like Amazon.

02:03:47.000 I turned the TV on this time and I didn't think twice.

02:03:49.000 And then it started playing a rock performance from The Offspring.

02:03:52.000 Which is weird because there's smart TVs that even if you turn it off, like it resets.

02:03:57.000 You have to go back to the app.

02:03:59.000 That's that's very weird.

02:04:00.000 Anyway, we're gonna go to the members-only show, Uncensored, at TimCast.com, and also check out the Culture War podcast tomorrow at 1pm, youtube.com slash TimCast.
