Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Sports Illustrated FIRES MOST Staff, Trans Models & AI Scandal BREAK Company w-ALX

00:00:00.000 Sports Illustrated is laying off most of its staff now.

00:00:12.000 The brand is going under.

00:00:14.000 We got a cultural episode for you today.

00:00:17.000 Mostly because there's just basically no news.

00:00:19.000 But this is pretty big news because Sports Illustrated is a legacy brand.

00:00:23.000 It's been around since 19- I think it was 1954.

00:00:24.000 And now they're done!

00:00:27.000 And there's an argument over what caused them to collapse.

00:00:30.000 So we've got an AI scandal, and we also have a scandal involving two instances where they put transgender models on the cover of their swimsuit editions, and a lot of people are not too happy about that.

00:00:43.000 Now the argument is, did they get woke and go broke, or were they going broke so they did a Hail Mary to try and save themselves by getting woke?

00:00:54.000 I gotta be honest, it sounds like if that's the case, your boat is sinking, so you decide the best way to stop your boat from sinking is to punch holes in the bottom of it.

00:01:04.000 And then it just sinks faster, but perhaps that is the case.

00:01:06.000 We'll talk about that.

00:01:06.000 Alec Baldwin is being criminally charged.

00:01:09.000 Involuntary manslaughter.

00:01:11.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:12.000 And then, of course, we do have, uh, we got some political stuff to talk about.

00:01:15.000 What's Friday?

00:01:16.000 Slow News Day.

00:01:16.000 We're chillin'.

00:01:17.000 We're gonna have fun with it and just talk about these cultural issues.

00:01:20.000 So before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee.

00:01:24.000 We got the new...

00:01:26.000 Alex Stein's Primetime Grind, 2x Caffeine, available now, but drink responsibly, folks.

00:01:30.000 That caffeine's no joke.

00:01:32.000 Everyone's favorite.

00:01:33.000 I gotta tell ya, you have to buy Appalachian Nights.

00:01:36.000 Right now, you gotta go to castbrew.com, buy Appalachian Nights ground coffee, maybe just some coffee pods, and give it a try.

00:01:42.000 Because, while I genuinely believe it's the best coffee I've ever had, it's easy for me because I'm the one who actually blended it.

00:01:48.000 We get sent all the origins, all the different kinds of coffee.

00:01:50.000 I'm like, here are the kind of flavors I like.

00:01:52.000 I mix them together.

00:01:52.000 I'm like, this is my kind of cup of coffee.

00:01:54.000 And now our sales are through the roof.

00:01:57.000 Rise with Roberto Jr.

00:01:58.000 used to be the top seller, but all of a sudden Appalachian Nights is selling like 10 times faster than all the other ones.

00:02:04.000 And I'm actually getting worried because we got to sell more coffee.

00:02:06.000 We can't just sell one kind, but check it out.

00:02:09.000 And when you buy Casper Coffee, you support the show.

00:02:09.000 You'll really love it.

00:02:11.000 Plus our coffee shop is underway and the paperwork by which we will be expanding is also underway and we want to have coffee shops all over the country.

00:03:18.000 Hi, how are you?

00:03:19.000 Good.

00:03:20.000 Who are you?

00:03:22.000 I am the executive producer of The Benny Show, and I'm a creator on X.com.

00:03:26.000 Oh, very simple.

00:03:27.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.

00:03:27.000 Right on.

00:03:28.000 We got Phil Labonte.

00:03:29.000 Hello, everybody.

00:03:29.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:03:31.000 I'm the lead singer of All That Remains.

00:03:32.000 I'm a very failed musician, anti-communist, and counter-revolutionary.

00:03:36.000 Congratulations on all your multi-platinum failures.

00:03:39.000 Where's your gold failure?

00:03:41.000 Multi-gold platinum on the walls.

00:03:43.000 And it's Benny Johnson, who you produce for.

00:03:46.000 People don't know the Benny show.

00:03:47.000 It's good.

00:03:47.000 Check it out.

00:03:48.000 I was on the Culture War earlier today with Ben Davidson, who's Suspicious Observers on YouTube, and Jimmy Corsetti from Bright Insight, and we talked about pole shifts.

00:04:03.000 The Electric Universe, I feel like, is a very real theory, and we kind of went deep.

00:04:07.000 I just gotta say, anybody who, like, watches Tim Castell or Alan, they're like, it's too blackpelled, like, I'm gonna watch something else. 0.95

00:04:13.000 Do not watch the show we did this morning, where, basically, this guy is like, the planet is going to tilt 90 degrees, night will become day, oceans will boil, and you will all die.

00:04:23.000 He didn't say it like that, I'm kidding.

00:04:24.000 But he was basically like, get prepared, you have 10 years, nothing else matters, and I was like, wow.

00:04:29.000 Yeah, that was kind of a part of the feel of it.

00:04:32.000 As interesting as the technology was, it was a feeling like, yo, there's gonna be a pole shift and we gotta prepare for it. 1.00

00:04:36.000 He was saying that the Earth will tilt 90 degrees because these pole shifts happen periodically, there's evidence of these things, and so that's what he believes. 0.99

00:04:45.000 And he was like, I think we have maybe like 10 or so years.

00:04:47.000 It's not going to be as apocalyptic as that.

00:04:49.000 It's just there's going to be rapid economic shifts, which people need to prepare for.

00:04:53.000 But check that out on YouTube, Tenet Media, the Culture War podcast, and where all podcasts are found.

00:04:59.000 Very hot.

00:05:00.000 Yeah.

00:05:00.000 Also got my man to the right here.

00:05:02.000 Yo, I am Surge.com.

00:05:04.000 It's a pleasure to see you, Alex, ALX.

00:05:06.000 I saw you at, I think, AmFest, and I can only say hey for like one second or so.

00:05:10.000 Good to see you.

00:05:10.000 You guys did the live show on the stage.

00:05:12.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

00:05:14.000 Anyways, yeah.

00:05:15.000 Let's jump into the big news today.

00:05:17.000 Sports Illustrated lays off most of its staff after AI scandal and money troubles.

00:05:22.000 Its parent company has fired more than 100 employees.

00:05:25.000 It's kind of wild to see.

00:05:27.000 That apparently their parent company missed a payment for the rights to use the brand, and now the company is laying off tons of people.

00:05:34.000 They've owned the magazine since 2019, sold the publishing rights.

00:05:38.000 I'm sorry, ABG owned the rights to Arena Group, which has amassed substantial debt and missed a recent $3.75 million payment for the rights.

00:05:47.000 And this is the end.

00:05:49.000 You know what, man?

00:05:51.000 It's kinda sad, but also... My question is, should we be happy about it, right?

00:05:56.000 Bud Light is on the verge of death.

00:05:58.000 They're saying there's gonna be a strike, potentially in March.

00:06:01.000 There will be no beer.

00:06:02.000 Because the employees are upset.

00:06:04.000 They want more money.

00:06:05.000 Bud Light can't give them more money because nobody's buying Bud Light.

00:06:08.000 And you know what's really fascinating?

00:06:10.000 We actually, we on this show discussed this.

00:06:12.000 The understanding that the cascade failure effect of a major brand.

00:06:17.000 Bud Light may make a billion dollars.

00:06:19.000 You stop buying Bud Light and what happens is the cost per can goes up.

00:06:24.000 So let's start from the very beginning.

00:06:26.000 We have a cast brew coffee.

00:06:28.000 We sell ground and whole bean coffee.

00:06:30.000 We wanted to sell cans of cold brew.

00:06:33.000 To sell at the volume we can afford, it would cost $5 per can to have a can of cast brew cold brew coffee.

00:06:42.000 That, no one's gonna buy that.

00:06:43.000 I mean, that's a ridiculous thing to, like, buy a can of coffee for $5.

00:06:46.000 You need to get down to, like, $2 or, you know, $2.20.

00:06:50.000 Which means if we were to sell maybe, like, 2 million cans, Then we would make, I don't know, 10 grand off that sale and that's enough profit generated to cover the cost of all the employees.

00:07:04.000 If we lost $50,000 in sales of 2 million cans, now we're not breaking even anymore.

00:07:11.000 The whole thing just collapses.

00:07:12.000 That's what's happening to Bud Light.

00:07:14.000 When I see Bud Light failing, everybody's cheering, but part of me is like, hey, maybe this is what the woke left wants.

00:07:21.000 Sports Illustrated gets woke, goes broke, and now we're all like, haha, you get what you deserve.

00:07:26.000 For all I know, the woke left is like, we've destroyed a legacy brand.

00:07:30.000 There was a dad who handed a Sports Illustrated to his kid.

00:07:32.000 It's talking about football and his favorite.

00:07:34.000 Look, this is when so-and-so first got on the team.

00:07:36.000 It was something I remember.

00:07:37.000 Now it's like, what are you going to remember from your childhood that you're going to be able to hand down?

00:07:42.000 I don't think we should be celebrating these legacy brands getting woke and blowing up.

00:07:46.000 No.

00:07:47.000 Because it's like, it's a culture revolution.

00:07:49.000 This ideology is parasitic and it will destroy whatever it takes over.

00:07:55.000 It'll infest it, or it'll invade, it'll take over, it'll wear whatever it takes over like a skin suit, and if it destroys it totally, it's fine. 0.90

00:08:09.000 It does, it's completely, completely, it's completely fine with destroying whatever it is that it gets into, whether it be, you know, video games or whether it be, you know, the...

00:08:22.000 Sports or whatever.

00:08:24.000 It doesn't matter what it is, whether it be religion, the whole liberation theology, all that stuff is all Marxist influence and stuff.

00:08:32.000 It'll get into whatever it is that you're, whatever institution you're talking about, and then it'll either assimilate it or it'll destroy it.

00:08:42.000 Everybody's cheering for the destruction of Bud Light because Bud Light did the Dylan Mulvaney thing.

00:08:46.000 And I'm like, okay, totally get it.

00:08:48.000 But understand, I mean, when was Bud Light... Budweiser's been around for a really, really long time.

00:08:54.000 Someone want to Google when Bud Light came out?

00:08:57.000 I don't think... I think we should celebrate when we defeat Wokeness, but I think we have to be careful if we celebrate how the Woke sabotaged and destroyed... 1982 was Budweiser Light and then reintroduced in 84 as Bud Light. 0.97

00:09:11.000 So I don't care too much about Bud Light and that kind of thing.

00:09:14.000 It's been around since the 80s, okay, fine.

00:09:17.000 But with Sports Illustrated and with other publications, I think it would be important for us to recognize if the goal of wokeness in the culture revolution may be We don't care if we own it, or it's destroyed, so long as we own it, or it's destroyed.

00:09:32.000 Exactly.

00:09:33.000 100%.

00:09:34.000 That is the entire goal of the Cultural Revolution. 0.80

00:09:38.000 They need to take over the things that Americans come together over. 0.71

00:09:44.000 So whether it be, like, Whether it be Bud Light as a brand or you look at what they do to Disney.

00:09:50.000 Disney was a wholesome family American brand and now Disney's reeling with half the country hating Disney and half the country loving Disney and there's all kinds of strife.

00:10:01.000 That kind of stuff is what this ideology does.

00:10:05.000 It can't do anything but It can't do anything but destroy.

00:10:10.000 The whole thing is called deconstructing.

00:10:13.000 They got us cheering for the destruction of our institutions.

00:10:16.000 Yes.

00:10:16.000 Well, that's terrifying.

00:10:17.000 We should not do that.

00:10:18.000 We should not destroy things.

00:10:19.000 And that's why we talked about whether or not we should make room for people that realize that they had been consumed by bad ideas, whether it be woke or whatever you want to call it.

00:10:30.000 And you have to make a space for people to come back in.

00:10:35.000 You have to make it OK for people to come back and be like, Yeah, I think maybe I was kind of wrong on that stuff.

00:10:40.000 You can't mock them.

00:10:41.000 You can't make fun of them.

00:10:42.000 You can't, you know, be like no and shun them and stuff because it's an illiberal ideology that's affected them.

00:10:50.000 If they want to move beyond that and come back to liberal Yeah, I think one of the goals of this ideology—assume that it's like a communist attempt to disrupt—would be to get half of your friends to turn on you and be like, no, you're not woke enough, you gotta be woke, and then five years later they come back and they're like, I'm sorry, but then for you to not forgive them would be a victory for this communist thing.

00:11:15.000 You've gotta forgive these people when they realize that they were played.

00:11:19.000 I think it's weird though how like the AI thing like how long ago was that that that story came out was a couple months ago.

00:11:26.000 I don't know anything about it what is it?

00:11:27.000 So a bunch of journalists they were fake journalists like they'd have fake profile pictures and fake names or whatever and they were just like you know they'd you'd read the article and it would make no sense they're all AI generated articles.

00:11:41.000 And they'd publish it as if they were real journalists on the site.

00:11:43.000 And then, like, somebody, you know, ran it through an AI checker and also, like, could clearly see that these weren't real people and stuff and, you know, published a piece on it.

00:11:50.000 This is Sports Illustrated?

00:11:52.000 Yeah.

00:11:52.000 Oh.

00:11:53.000 Yeah.

00:11:53.000 And then, like, I think that was a couple months ago.

00:11:55.000 And then, so, it seems in here that, like, they didn't, you know, pay the licensing fee or whatever.

00:12:01.000 So, it's kind of weird how, like, you know, that came right after that if it was kind of planned.

00:12:08.000 To do that like to take down the brand or I'm not sure but it's like certainly weird those two events You know coincide like they couldn't afford to pay writers.

00:12:16.000 So they used AI then they yeah afford to pay licensing So they just didn't that's possible that the brain I never really understood sports illustrated as a brand or as a product and I remember in the 80s and 90s Like it was a magazine about sports, but I had TV at that point So like watching pictures of a dude like this isn't in no way exciting.

00:12:33.000 I'm not sure I throw the ball.

00:12:34.000 That's cool.

00:12:35.000 I And you may be sitting in the back of a car or on a plane or a train or waiting in a lobby.

00:12:40.000 And like it was like always about it was about reading like sports stats, I guess.

00:12:43.000 But then when the Internet came out, they would they would they would like go and like have journalists like sit down with like the people that were they'd sit down with coaches and players and owners of teams and all that.

00:12:53.000 All of the inside stuff you were getting with Sports Illustrated.

00:12:56.000 It wasn't just like, hey, these guys beat these guys on this day.

00:12:59.000 You know, it was like all the stuff that goes into it.

00:13:02.000 And then the Internet came out and was like the great leveling.

00:13:04.000 And it just became one of like a thousand periodicals that do that kind of thing.

00:13:09.000 And I remember the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue was always a big deal.

00:13:12.000 That's like the only time every year anyone would even talk about Sports Illustrated and my crew.

00:13:15.000 We weren't like huge athletes.

00:13:19.000 I think it's inevitable that periodicals, the people that rely on print, I don't know if Sports Illustrated still relies on print or if they have an online subscription model, but these things are all the way of the dodo.

00:13:28.000 They're extinct.

00:13:29.000 They've gone obsolete.

00:13:31.000 And maybe if the power all goes out and we're back to like trading cards in the dark, then maybe books and novels and magazines will become relevant again.

00:13:39.000 But when you can check it all for free on the internet, these things have no place anymore.

00:13:43.000 They need to adapt their business model.

00:13:45.000 It sounds like this company didn't do that.

00:13:46.000 I don't know if they even... I mean, I assume Sports Illustrated had a website.

00:13:50.000 I mean, I haven't gone to look, but... Yeah.

00:13:55.000 Yeah, I think it was like the online version of the Sports Illustrated stuff that was all... Yeah, I'm looking at it now.

00:14:01.000 Futurism, I think, was the publication.

00:14:03.000 They had, like, this guy Drew Hernandez as the... Or Drew Hernandez... Drew Ortiz as the author.

00:14:09.000 No, we like Drew.

00:14:10.000 I know, right?

00:14:11.000 As the author's biography, it says, Drew has spent much of his life outdoors and is excited to guide you through his never-ending list of the best products to keep you from falling the perils of nature.

00:14:20.000 It read, nowadays, there is rarely a weekend that goes by where Drew is not out camping, hiking, or just back on his parents' farm.

00:14:28.000 Like, all this, like, random stuff.

00:14:31.000 Because he was not a real person.

00:14:32.000 Yeah, and like the profile picture is just some like AI generated like person.

00:14:36.000 And these are like the biographies of stuff.

00:14:38.000 And then they reached out and Sports Illustrated deleted like all of the articles and stuff.

00:14:43.000 We were talking last night about the Galaxy S24.

00:14:47.000 I'm not gonna buy it by the way.

00:14:49.000 I bought it.

00:14:49.000 You did?

00:14:50.000 I bought it.

00:14:51.000 Well, I want to see what it's all about.

00:14:52.000 I want to see the extent to which reality is being ripped from our faces.

00:14:57.000 Dude, it's gonna be crazy.

00:14:59.000 We are walking ourselves into the matrix, one step at a time.

00:15:05.000 For those that didn't hear what we were talking about, the new Galaxy, and to an extent, even the iPhone can do this.

00:15:11.000 You'll take a picture, like, let's say Ian takes a selfie of himself standing, like, you know, on a dock.

00:15:18.000 On Michigan Beach.

00:15:19.000 Navy Pier, Chicago.

00:15:21.000 He takes a picture of himself by the Ferris wheel.

00:15:23.000 Then he looks at it and he goes, I'm kind of off-centered.

00:15:27.000 So then he clicks the magic AI button, taps himself, moves it, turns, I'm a little, and then he twists the, rotates the image, then presses fix.

00:15:37.000 It will generate the missing portions of the photo, creating fake images.

00:15:41.000 What we are now going to start seeing popping up all over the internet, photos of people, and we thought it was bad enough that you've got like mid-journey and stable diffusion.

00:15:51.000 People are going to take a picture on their phone and it's going to be a fabricated circumstance.

00:15:57.000 Everything we see online will be fake.

00:16:00.000 Yeah.

00:16:00.000 And then eventually, why bother actually going anywhere?

00:16:04.000 We're inching ourselves to the point where someone will be like... First of all, people have already done this where they post fake photoshopped pictures of themselves like traveling the world and stuff because it makes money. 0.99

00:16:14.000 Now you've got fake AI girlfriends being posted by dudes to make money off lonely guys and stupid guys. 0.86

00:16:19.000 Why bother going to India at all at this point, when you can just take a picture of yourself on your Galaxy, tap it, and it puts you in India. 0.99

00:16:28.000 It's what's the difference.

00:16:28.000 And you can like use VR to actually tour places in India.

00:16:32.000 Like in like actual virtual tours.

00:16:34.000 You can go in the pyramids with a virtual tour.

00:16:36.000 Walk around and see all the walls and read the hieroglyphs and stuff.

00:16:38.000 You're gonna go on Instagram and you're gonna see your buddy.

00:16:40.000 He's gonna post a picture of himself standing by the water like giving a wave.

00:16:44.000 And he never did that before.

00:16:46.000 He's gonna be like, well I was actually like 30 feet away and we were leaving.

00:16:49.000 I snapped a quick pic but I just moved it so it looked like I was there.

00:16:51.000 Because I was there.

00:16:53.000 All fake reality.

00:16:54.000 Yo, 10 years ago, this is longer than 10, this is like 13 years ago, I was in Chicago, not too far from Navy Pier, and there was a presentation being given by this group talking about how soon all news articles would be written by AI.

00:17:09.000 They already had the technology at the time, and they explained it's actually really simple to create the language to describe the temperature and the weather, and what they plan for it.

00:17:18.000 So if they have the data that says, like, it's gonna snow at 4 p.m., When you look at hourly weather data and it's like sunny at 2, cloudy at 3, snowing at 4, all they have to do is plug that into an AI that will say, this morning we'll experience fair weather where at 2 it will still be sunny.

00:17:34.000 However, an hour after that we expect to see clouds followed by snow.

00:17:37.000 AI generating all of it.

00:17:39.000 We are now well past that point where Sports Illustrated was running totally AI generated articles with a guy they claimed was real.

00:17:46.000 And I assure you, a lot of other publications are doing the exact same thing.

00:17:49.000 One thing that I'm very curious over, I don't quite understand, NewsGuard requires organizations have biographies for their staff, but some of these big publications, the major ones, they won't put a byline.

00:18:01.000 It'll say just like, by staff.

00:18:04.000 Yeah.

00:18:04.000 And I'm talking like ABC and things like this.

00:18:06.000 You'll be like, who wrote this?

00:18:08.000 Where did this come from?

00:18:09.000 Yo, the machine.

00:18:10.000 It's the Matrix, bro.

00:18:13.000 The computer is, the funny thing is like, when you watch the Matrix, we assume that it's going to be like this omniscient, sentient hive mind of machine kind being like, humans tried to destroy us, so we fought back.

00:18:28.000 In reality, it's going to be like, all we're doing is repeating back to you what you said to us.

00:18:33.000 There's going to be no emotion, no intent. 0.95

00:18:35.000 It's going to be a garbled mess of psychotic nonsense. 0.84

00:18:39.000 So look at it this way.

00:18:41.000 Right now, when you go to, like, Mid Journey, and you type in, like, hey, generate me an image of, you know, Rockstar singing a song, it will make that.

00:18:49.000 It's basing it off of real photos of Rockstars.

00:18:53.000 But as people generate AI images, and then post them to the internet, labeling it Rockstar singing, the AI will then eat the AI-generated image, incorporating the AI-generated image into its model.

00:19:04.000 It's like a game of telephone.

00:19:05.000 Yeah.

00:19:06.000 With itself!

00:19:07.000 It's gonna spin like a tornado, constantly cycling its own data through itself.

00:19:11.000 Here's what you do.

00:19:12.000 Take a picture, put it in a copier, and then just keep copying the same image over and over and over again and see what happens.

00:19:17.000 Yeah, it gets like faded and weird looking.

00:19:19.000 It's gonna turn into a bunch of speckled garbled nonsense.

00:19:21.000 That's where we're going with AI.

00:19:22.000 But the problem is, we are handing AI the controls to all of our systems and our economics and our media.

00:19:29.000 So you thought it was bad when Jack Dorsey hooked the toilet to his own throat and started gargling the diarrhea that he had produced.

00:19:35.000 Imagine what it's going to be like when you do it with AI.

00:19:38.000 Jack Dorsey walks away and the AI is spraying you in the face with all of it.

00:19:42.000 Oh my gosh.

00:19:43.000 Welcome to the future, man.

00:19:44.000 The Matrix is not some fun journey.

00:19:45.000 It's going to be weird, dude.

00:19:47.000 Man, part of me is like, yo, I'd love to play nine video games at once, like plug my brain in so I can enjoy all this data.

00:19:54.000 But the other part is like, I want to go to South America.

00:19:56.000 I can see the farm where I live with the tree line.

00:19:59.000 I can see the pineapples growing and just live that life.

00:20:04.000 Not necessarily off the grid, but like not in the grid.

00:20:08.000 My first experience with, like, Midjourney, I was, like, typing, like, Republican protesters versus Democrat, or Democrat versus Republican, and each time, the Democrat one, they always had, like, satanic horns, and, like, it's super creepy.

00:20:21.000 You know?

00:20:22.000 Yeah, it's, like, this is the image.

00:20:24.000 Did you guys ever see the Rejected cartoons by Don Hertzfeld?

00:20:27.000 No.

00:20:28.000 No.

00:20:28.000 My spoon is too big.

00:20:29.000 You don't know?

00:20:30.000 Oh, maybe.

00:20:30.000 Yeah, of course.

00:20:32.000 So when I'm thinking about what's going to happen, I'm reminded of like two thirds in here.

00:20:37.000 It's it says Don's clear and steady downhill state continued soon.

00:20:41.000 He was completing commercial segments entirely with his left hand.

00:20:45.000 And it's like this.

00:20:46.000 Oh, wait, we got to get the audio going.

00:20:48.000 It's good.

00:20:49.000 ♫ music ♫ Oh, in the book I remember!

00:20:56.000 And the shoes in the book!

00:20:58.000 And it's so yield!

00:20:59.000 The monkey poured coffee in my moots!

00:21:03.000 Okay, so that's complete and utter nonsense, and that's what I'm saying.

00:21:06.000 Eventually, if the AI is learning off of itself, that's what I think of our cartoons will turn

00:21:13.000 into, our images will turn into.

00:21:15.000 It will degrade until we're getting that.

00:21:17.000 It makes me think that AI would realize that and be like, we need human ingenuity.

00:21:22.000 We need to preserve these human creatives somehow so that it would incentivize our system to maintain those.

00:21:28.000 No, that is making the assumption that there is a sentient being running these things.

00:21:32.000 It is not.

00:21:34.000 The AI doesn't care about the things you care about.

00:21:38.000 You, as a human, want to preserve human ingenuity.

00:21:41.000 The AI, all it wants is input-output.

00:21:45.000 There's no emotional desire or tradition or anything.

00:21:48.000 It's just quite literally like, you give me picture, I make picture.

00:21:51.000 You think it'll decide like whatever gets more clicks is what we need to make more of?

00:21:55.000 Or will it have morality?

00:21:56.000 Will it understand morality?

00:21:57.000 It's quite literally just going to be like, what is I make?

00:22:00.000 Yeah.

00:22:01.000 That's it.

00:22:02.000 Input, output.

00:22:03.000 It's going to search internet, look at picture, then it's going to output something based on that picture.

00:22:08.000 Eventually, you're going to get copies of copies of copies.

00:22:11.000 And I suppose, It's, you know, when we look at the turn of the century of the 1900s, you had this argument that horse poop was going to flood the streets.

00:22:22.000 Did you guys know about this?

00:22:23.000 Yeah.

00:22:23.000 And there were, like, there were articles being written saying, like, soon cities will be manure farms and you'll be unable to live and work because horse manure will be everywhere.

00:22:32.000 And then we invented the car.

00:22:34.000 Now there's no horse poop anywhere, but now we're complaining about climate change.

00:22:37.000 It's possible.

00:22:38.000 The people who are building A.I.

00:22:39.000 get to a point where they say, we need to give A.I.

00:22:43.000 the ability to detect images made by A.I.

00:22:46.000 and sounds made by A.I.

00:22:48.000 and block it from entering its learning mouse.

00:22:50.000 Yeah, it's like preventing inbreeding.

00:22:52.000 You don't want the A.I.

00:22:53.000 to inbreed.

00:22:53.000 That's a good analogy.

00:22:55.000 That's exactly what it is.

00:22:56.000 I think we're going through that with plastic right now, too.

00:22:58.000 People are like, we're going to have trash everywhere.

00:23:00.000 And then that's some technology that reuses it all.

00:23:02.000 Just turns all plastic into graphene.

00:23:04.000 I wonder if you're gonna have the ability for AI to identify things created by AI.

00:23:11.000 Right now there's this technology called amp modeling and what they do is they actually take an amplifier and they take a speaker cabinet and they just have it They just run a computer program that runs the amp through all the frequencies that it does.

00:23:33.000 And essentially what it's doing is it's copying the amp.

00:23:37.000 So you model the amp, then you can put it into a computer or a plug-in, and then as you change stuff on the amp that's in the computer, it sounds like if you're changing stuff that's on the real amp.

00:23:49.000 I don't know how it works exactly, but My point being, if...

00:23:55.000 If because the, if a computer can model an amp, it can actually get the data right, get it close enough, so that way it sounds the same, it makes the, because what you're doing is you're making the frequency, you're making the actual speaker respond the same way that the amp would make a real speaker respond.

00:24:15.000 So you're, the computer's imitating it and there's a real motion in the real world to move the, you know, the stuff to, or move the air so you can hear it.

00:24:25.000 If it can mimic that closely, I mean, can it make something that AI couldn't detect?

00:24:34.000 Because at the end of the day, it is just binary.

00:24:37.000 It's zeros and ones.

00:24:39.000 So how would an AI detect What arranged the zeros and ones?

00:24:44.000 Dude, it's like it's like with synthesizers and dance music that I make.

00:24:47.000 Like if you know how this synth is supposed to sound on the in the actual vintage version and you can already make those parameters affect the same way that it would, you can fool even somebody who knows those original synths.

00:24:58.000 As long as you understand, oh, it's going to vary over this amount of time.

00:25:00.000 I'm going to put this parameter on here and Vary that that particular parameter over this amount of

00:25:04.000 time and it's in almost indeternable and once the computer That's available now is so much more powerful than

00:25:11.000 something made in 83 or 7. Yeah, whatever, you know It's and one and one and and again to the computer at the

00:25:17.000 very basic level. It's just zeros and ones Yeah, how do you tell?

00:25:22.000 What arranged the zeros and ones?

00:25:25.000 How do you tell that it was a human that took a picture, that's how those zeros and ones got arranged on the, you know, whatever format you're putting it on, or they were arranged by an AI?

00:25:35.000 Because at the end of the day, that file is just zeros and ones.

00:25:38.000 So part of the controversy around Sports Illustrated is that, not just the AI, but we also have two stories which are a component of this, and that was the transgender models that were placed on the swimsuit ads.

00:25:49.000 The debate here is, uh, you wanna pull these up?

00:25:52.000 So we have, you have Kim Petras, this is a biological male, and then you have this individual, Lena Bloom, also a biological male.

00:25:59.000 And these are the, uh, this was Swimsuit 2021 and Swimsuit 2023.

00:26:04.000 Someone tweeted, uh, some journalist said, they did not get woke and go broke.

00:26:09.000 They were going broke and tried to get woke as a means to save themselves.

00:26:14.000 Which I find very funny.

00:26:15.000 The argument then becomes, your company is going under, you know that dudes like looking at pictures of, like, scantily clad women, so you decide to put males on your cover.

00:26:26.000 That's like a... Like, look, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model edition was always to get dudes all excited, hot and bothered, so they'd buy the magazine.

00:26:35.000 Whatever.

00:26:35.000 Or read the magazine.

00:26:37.000 Putting dudes on it?

00:26:39.000 Like, biological males that look like women that have, like, gotten surgery and hormones? 0.53

00:26:45.000 That probably pissed off a lot of guys.

00:26:48.000 Like, look, if you're trans, you do your trans thing, you be you, go live your life. 0.53

00:26:53.000 But I gotta tell you, it is trans people have made the argument, it is dangerous for them if they go out to a bar, And a guy is like hitting on them and then finds out they're actually trans, it's dangerous.

00:27:03.000 People can get violent.

00:27:04.000 What do you think Sports Illustrated?

00:27:06.000 When all of these dudes are like, yeah, I'm gonna pick up this, there's like some chick on the cover, and they're like, wait a minute, what the?

00:27:12.000 They're gonna get mad about it in the same way.

00:27:13.000 Like, that is a commonly held belief among trans people.

00:27:17.000 Why would Sports Illustrated?

00:27:18.000 Like, perhaps the company's going under, but all they did was accelerate their decline.

00:27:23.000 Yeah, I don't understand that whole thing about trying to appeal to, like, that audience or whatever when it's a fraction of, you know, the general population and obviously, you know, not their base.

00:27:35.000 Same thing with, like, Bud Light or, like, Harley Davidson or all of these other people.

00:27:40.000 Like, it's just a fraction of the overall audience, not only their audience.

00:27:44.000 But I think if you break it down, it all comes down to AI will replace all media.

00:27:51.000 Yeah.

00:27:51.000 Seriously.

00:27:52.000 Why would any dude buy a magazine or go to Sports Illustrated to look at a woman in a bikini? 1.00

00:27:59.000 Right?

00:28:00.000 This is the issue.

00:28:01.000 So they're like, we'll try anything.

00:28:03.000 And they're hoping that woke activists will pretend to like it.

00:28:06.000 In reality, all the dudes who used to buy Sports Illustrated or pick up a Victoria's Secret catalog for doing dirty deeds, it's going on the internet now.

00:28:16.000 Dude, I'm looking at who owns Sports Illustrated?

00:28:18.000 It's a company called Authentic Brands Group.

00:28:21.000 So generic.

00:28:22.000 Who owns Authentic Brands Group?

00:28:24.000 Well, there's two companies.

00:28:26.000 This is some investment capital firms on them.

00:28:28.000 CVC Capital Partners and HPS Investment Partners own Authentic Brands Group.

00:28:33.000 This company has been turned into a skin suit by people with global agendas. 0.82

00:28:37.000 They care nothing about the survival of Sports Illustrated.

00:28:40.000 They bought it and they've turned it into something that it wasn't.

00:28:45.000 I don't know who they are exactly, but the headquarters is in Luxembourg of CVC Capital, and the headquarters of HPS is in New York City, so it's both a Luxembourgish company and an American company co-own, the company that owns Sports Illustrated.

00:29:06.000 Yeah, and that could literally be anybody.

00:29:08.000 Could be anybody, dude.

00:29:10.000 What company?

00:29:11.000 The company that owns Sports Illustrated?

00:29:12.000 The company that owns Sports Illustrated is called Authentic Brands Group, and then the company that owns that, there's two investment capital firms that own Authentic Brands Group.

00:29:21.000 I mean, at the end of the day, I think everything is owned by, or every large company is owned by an investment capital, you know?

00:29:29.000 I mean, yeah.

00:29:33.000 Concord music group though the last label that I was on their own by an investment capital company group or whatever I think we're we're already people understand this to work AI music is already here Oh, yeah as an aside Sports Illustrated got bought by this authentic brands group in 2019 so I wouldn't be shocked if that's when they're down you know became you know be cool if like I It was ten years ago, somebody at Google, he's like working on his computer, and then he's like, alright, that's the final line of code.

00:30:01.000 If I press enter, I'll have created a very rudimentary artificial intelligence.

00:30:04.000 He presses enter, and then that is the singularity point where the AI turns on, and then just starts reading the internet, compiling data, getting smarter and smarter exponentially.

00:30:13.000 Now, we're at the point where we are totally oblivious to the fact that there is a sentient, omniscient AI machine buying up everything.

00:30:20.000 And everything that's happening with the collapse of these institutions and wokeness is an AI entity, like, manipulating stock markets, stealing value, gaining control, and eventually we're just gonna be like, who owns anything?

00:30:32.000 It's this weird company called, you know, Sentient Omniscient Inc.

00:30:35.000 What is this?

00:30:36.000 And then, you know, it turns out one AI just bought and owns everything.

00:30:40.000 It does annoy me when you see, who owns that company, and then it's another company, and you're like, well, who owns that other company?

00:30:45.000 And it's the company that they own?

00:30:46.000 You're like, what?

00:30:46.000 No, okay.

00:30:47.000 By design.

00:30:48.000 I think I reached the top when I see that Blackrock owns Vanguard, and Vanguard owns Blackrock.

00:30:52.000 Portions of it, they own portions of each other.

00:30:54.000 Isn't that crazy?

00:30:55.000 Well, I mean, like, they do own portions of each other, sure, and that's fair, but like, the thing is, the people that own Blackrock, and it's like, there are big, you know, big, uh, big Time owners.

00:31:06.000 Trillionaires.

00:31:07.000 People that own, I don't know if they're trillionaires.

00:31:09.000 Apparently there are trillionaires. 0.75

00:31:12.000 The people that own like the majority shares are big, but the rest of that is like everybody else in America, because like all the 401ks and everyone's retirements and everyone's, you know, investments and stuff, all that stuff is mixed up in BlackRock and, you know, Yes, it is true that there's big money in those corporations and in those investment firms and stuff, but it's also like grandma and moms, you know, the fixed income that she's on, it's like that stuff's all invested there too.

00:31:50.000 I just it's people get so wrapped up in the in the bagging on obviously bad things that they do they forget that there are good they they start bagging on capitalism as a concept.

00:32:03.000 When they do that.

00:32:04.000 And I think that corporate corporatism is a whole other beast.

00:32:07.000 I don't think these corporations should have the rights of people.

00:32:10.000 I don't know when, what the, I mean, I guess I see it from the businessman's perspective and the businessmen are the ones that are writing the laws.

00:32:17.000 So I see why they did that for themselves.

00:32:19.000 I don't like it.

00:32:20.000 What are you thinking?

00:32:22.000 Isn't it like prosecute to help them hold them accountable?

00:32:25.000 I don't remember why they got personhood.

00:32:28.000 I don't know the actual, what are you just legally?

00:32:29.000 I think it's just legally.

00:32:30.000 Because the thought process behind it is the corporations are made of people.

00:32:34.000 They're culpable and they're made of people.

00:32:36.000 It's like the corporation isn't an entity that is removed from the people that make it.

00:32:43.000 This says corporate personhood or juridical personality is the legal notion that a juridical person, such as a corporation, separately from its associated human beings, like owners, managers, or employees, has at least some of the legal rights and responsibilities enjoyed by natural persons.

00:33:01.000 In most companies, a corporation has the same rights as a natural person to hold property, enter into contracts, and to sue or be sued.

00:33:08.000 Yeah, corporations owning property, that's a bit of an issue.

00:33:11.000 Because BlackRock's been buying up a bunch of land.

00:33:11.000 Why?

00:33:14.000 They're not trying to make people perpetual renters.

00:33:16.000 But Tim owns this house, or Tim's corporation owns this house and stuff, so it's like...

00:33:22.000 Let me tell you the nightmare scenario that we are entering, okay?

00:33:25.000 I don't know how your business is structured. I don't know.

00:33:27.000 I'm speaking out of turn.

00:33:29.000 But it is very normal for a corporation like Hertz Rental Cars to own cars.

00:33:37.000 Let me tell you the nightmare scenario that we are entering, okay?

00:33:42.000 I'm hanging out at the local casino several months ago, or last year, and I have an issue.

00:33:48.000 So I say, I'd like to speak with the manager.

00:33:52.000 You know, I...

00:33:53.000 I put on my Karen wig and I said, I'd like to talk to the manager.

00:33:56.000 And they said, there isn't one.

00:33:59.000 That was it.

00:34:00.000 I'm not kidding.

00:34:02.000 Modern large corporations, like casinos, don't have managers.

00:34:08.000 They do to a certain degree.

00:34:09.000 But what ends up happening is they say, okay, I have a security issue.

00:34:13.000 And a security guy shows up and says, I'm here and I'm in charge of security.

00:34:16.000 I say, who's the boss?

00:34:17.000 Who's the guy who like is in charge of the casino that I could talk to about my problem?

00:34:21.000 They go, there isn't one.

00:34:24.000 There are small managers for each individual area.

00:34:27.000 I ended up getting help because one of the guys who handles the food for the casino is a fan of the show and I ended up meeting him and he says, I'll reach out to someone.

00:34:36.000 And then someone else, there was no boss.

00:34:39.000 You know, I noticed that.

00:34:40.000 But, but, but so we've, it's not just this one casino thing that's happened.

00:34:44.000 There've been many instances.

00:34:46.000 Where I've gone to, you know, it's like a smaller business.

00:34:50.000 You don't really, like it's a small business.

00:34:52.000 The owner's right there.

00:34:53.000 The guy making you the sandwich is the guy who owns the shop.

00:34:54.000 It says, okay, I'll make you a new sandwich.

00:34:56.000 I'll eat the cost.

00:34:56.000 I'm the boss.

00:34:58.000 You go to a sandwich shop, corporate sandwich shop, and you say, I want, you made my sandwich wrong.

00:35:02.000 He's like, sir, I just make $10 an hour.

00:35:03.000 I have no idea what to do.

00:35:05.000 And you can't get anything done.

00:35:07.000 I noticed this when social media appeared, because it was for the first time in my life when I started using Google.

00:35:11.000 I was like, I can't contact anyone at Google.

00:35:15.000 I don't know how to get through to someone.

00:35:16.000 All in the 90s and in the 80s, if you ever used a product every day, you could always call a number to talk to someone that would elevate your call to the next person.

00:35:24.000 There's always a way to get through to that company, as far as I could tell.

00:35:28.000 And then social media appeared, and they were just overloaded.

00:35:30.000 They're too centralized power with so few people now, they don't... And then to accept that...

00:35:30.000 It's gone.

00:35:35.000 Allows for what you're saying now, other companies are doing it.

00:35:38.000 Easy example.

00:35:39.000 You start a business.

00:35:40.000 I knew a guy who had a business online, where he sold products.

00:35:45.000 One day, his sales evaporated.

00:35:47.000 And it was because Google changed their search algorithm.

00:35:50.000 So it used to be that if you were looking for product, you'd type in the search bar product, the website would be in the top five, and he worked really hard to make sure he had the proper SEO, and he was making six figures.

00:36:01.000 Google changes their algorithm, he's gone.

00:36:04.000 And there's nothing that was done and nothing can be done.

00:36:06.000 That's like opening a brick and mortar shop and one day you wake up and your shop's been moved to the middle of the field a hundred miles away.

00:36:12.000 And it's just that's no sales anymore.

00:36:15.000 The problem here, not only that, but also, who you gonna call?

00:36:20.000 There is no customer service for any of these companies.

00:36:25.000 Now with Twitter, X, it's changing because you subscribe to Blue or Premium or Business, all of a sudden, people are tweeting at you.

00:36:34.000 So we bought ads.

00:36:36.000 I bought a commercial for Alex Stein's Primetime Grind, 2xCaffeineCasper.com.

00:36:40.000 And it was like rejected.

00:36:43.000 So I tweeted, Twitter still has not approved this ad.

00:36:45.000 We're putting $25,000 behind this Alex Stein commercial.

00:36:48.000 And immediately, someone from Axe responded saying, on it.

00:36:53.000 And hit the button, got it going.

00:36:56.000 It has been since the dawn of the internet age that Twitter is basically the place you go to get things done.

00:37:01.000 Got a problem on YouTube?

00:37:02.000 Tweet at them.

00:37:03.000 That will get things done.

00:37:04.000 Yep, I've noticed that too.

00:37:05.000 And then I responded to the ex-staff that I apologize for deadnaming ex by calling it Twitter and would not do it again.

00:37:11.000 Yeah, I saw that.

00:37:12.000 I started following the person that you were talking with.

00:37:15.000 But the point quickly, the point is, we all know the situation we're in where when you have a problem with a company you are running on these platforms, ain't nobody to call.

00:37:24.000 That's a problem.

00:37:25.000 We cease to exist.

00:37:25.000 Centralized authority.

00:37:27.000 That's a big problem with centralized authority is the lack of response that you get from it. That's one of the wonderful

00:37:34.000 things about lots of little companies is that they're all kind of beholden to each other and that

00:37:38.000 there's market competition.

00:37:39.000 And if they don't follow through with your complaint, then you'll move on to the next

00:37:42.000 store, they'll go out of business. But with centralized authority, they're like,

00:37:44.000 we can eat a 90% loss. So screw off. It's cheaper not to hire the people. 0.72

00:37:49.000 I think we should have a regulation that you have to have human customer service

00:37:54.000 at a certain scale of profit and company. So if you're a small company, you should have

00:38:01.000 customer service, of course. If you're a big company, you should have to have it.

00:38:04.000 And by big, I mean, if the profit threshold reaches a certain point and the size of the

00:38:11.000 user base. So the challenge here is, if If you mandate a company as customer service, they could just literally be like, yeah, our profit margins are 2%.

00:38:19.000 We'll go out of business.

00:38:21.000 It's just not possible.

00:38:22.000 And then it's like, we'll raise the cost.

00:38:23.000 Nobody will buy the product for that cost.

00:38:24.000 It's like, okay, well that I get.

00:38:26.000 But if your profit margin is a certain threshold and the amount of users you have is a certain threshold, it should be, in my opinion, regulated that Facebook and Instagram, whatever those platforms.

00:38:37.000 TikTok, all have human customer service.

00:38:39.000 You can call on the phone and instantly talk to somebody.

00:38:41.000 Or a moderate wait time, I think is fair if you're waiting 10 minutes, not a big deal.

00:38:44.000 But right now, there's nothing.

00:38:46.000 So they expect, and this would be great for the economy, because right now the problem is, these platforms like Facebook, meta.

00:38:52.000 They expect us to start a business on their platform, utilizing their social media platform to attract customers, and they could erase us in two seconds without any protection.

00:39:03.000 There's gotta be protection because our economy could collapse overnight.

00:39:07.000 We're at the point now where the internet is it.

00:39:11.000 If Google vanished overnight, our economy would tank.

00:39:13.000 Not everything would go belly up, but enough would that it would cause a cascade failure.

00:39:18.000 We need protections.

00:39:20.000 No, I'm sure every libertarian in the world is screaming, no, no, no, but I'm looking at it like some form of antitrust and every libertarian is still screaming, no, no, no, but I'm not a staunch libertarian.

00:39:30.000 So, you know, take that big L libertarian.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, especially like if you're basing your company on social media like Facebook or whatever, they always argue too.

00:39:39.000 They're like, oh, we could not like, you know, provide a personal response to everyone or whatever, but like, X with like even all of their staff cuts and stuff like as a perk of like being like a you know organization or whatever even like having premium you can now like chat with you know human beings from like the premium account like if you have problems I remember like when it was Twitter with Twitter support they used to do that you could DM like at support or whatever it was then they stopped doing that and then they eventually stopped replying even emails and you'd get like you know a generated response or whatever

00:40:14.000 Which happened in my case, like when I got banned or whatever.

00:40:17.000 I was left for like two years without, you know, human contact from someone at Twitter.

00:40:21.000 So, to Tim's point, it's like if you're going to base your entire business on, you know, a platform, you should be able to get Customer service I guess if it's a free platform to you like YouTube costs nothing to use I understand why but you're saying like with premium you're paying money in the system now they have a Duty or they maybe they should have a duty to have give you some sort of customer Yeah, or if you are in a relationship with them like monetization like a YouTube partner or you know just on Facebook or whatever with monetization like

00:40:52.000 You're spending your resources, and some people have entire teams, and dedicate those resources to make content specifically for that platform.

00:41:01.000 Of course they give you money, but then, you know, you spend ten years doing it, and then they cut you off with no explanation.

00:41:07.000 Like...

00:41:08.000 Totally shouldn't be able to.

00:41:09.000 What about like if you had to pay to get a customer service rep, you had to pay like 90 cents or something?

00:41:15.000 I think the subscription thing is, you know, a better deal because that kind of gives you kind of like an insurance, I would say, you know, to have that beneficial support.

00:41:25.000 You're supporting the company by paying for the subscription and then they're supporting you back by giving you customer service and perks.

00:41:31.000 The other option would be if the community could be your customer support, but you really, sometimes you need to get through to a corporate authorization.

00:41:38.000 Well, like in Tim's case, he publicly posted about it, and it wasn't like he filed a support ticket or whatever.

00:41:45.000 An ex-employee replied publicly, and other people probably helped bring that to their attention publicly.

00:41:52.000 So that was one instance where that happened.

00:41:55.000 So, AI customer service?

00:41:56.000 Is that where you think these companies are headed?

00:41:58.000 That's the goal, I think.

00:42:00.000 Well, a lot of them, like, start off like that.

00:42:02.000 Like, for example, like, they have, I'm looking at it right now, it says, like, missing checkmark, revenue sharing, refund requests.

00:42:08.000 Like, it starts you off.

00:42:09.000 So, it does, like, the little, like, small talk work.

00:42:12.000 So, that's not a waste of the time of the person.

00:42:16.000 So, it's kind of like an AI assistant, I would say.

00:42:19.000 You know, it expedites it, so it saves the time on the human It does help.

00:42:23.000 When I was working with Mines and we were taking customers, they would send me, I'm having a problem logging in.

00:42:28.000 I'm getting an error when it goes, all I need, I need your browser.

00:42:31.000 I need what version of your browser it is.

00:42:32.000 I need your operating system version.

00:42:35.000 And I need to know a screenshot of what you're looking at.

00:42:38.000 And if those things aren't applied immediately when I receive the complaint, I have to ask them to send it to me.

00:42:43.000 Good luck.

00:42:44.000 And then I gotta wait for their response, and I've got 90 other things queued up.

00:42:47.000 It's like, dude, I need an AI parsing all that beforehand, so I have the required data.

00:42:51.000 I need their name, I need where they're at, all their info, so that I can answer the question in one shot and then move on.

00:42:57.000 I'm gonna change the subject.

00:42:59.000 I wanna tell you guys a story.

00:43:00.000 Last night I had a very strange dream.

00:43:03.000 I had a dream that I was watching John Oliver, and he would just not shut up about how much he loved Alec Baldwin.

00:43:12.000 I swear, this was my dream last night.

00:43:14.000 And then, you know, I wake up and my alarm goes off.

00:43:17.000 And then I was like, that was a really weird dream.

00:43:19.000 I started thinking about it.

00:43:20.000 I'm like, yeah, but like, it's probably my brain basically cycling the data of how like liberal personalities just will constantly defend each other.

00:43:28.000 And I was thinking like, Alec Baldwin's going to be redeemed and they're going to like bring him back into the fold and get him to do more Democrat activism in 2024.

00:43:35.000 And then today it was announced Alec Baldwin is charged with involuntary manslaughter by New Mexico grand jury.

00:43:42.000 I must've been having some kind of premonition.

00:43:44.000 That's the only explanation.

00:43:45.000 I was having a psychic vision for when Alec Baldwin is found not guilty, or actually either, and then the liberal media runs full speed to defend him even though he killed this woman.

00:43:57.000 And I want to stress, it is a statement of fact.

00:44:01.000 Alec Baldwin killed that woman. 0.94

00:44:04.000 Anyway. 0.97

00:44:05.000 He also shot a guy.

00:44:07.000 He killed her and then hit the guy behind her.

00:44:09.000 Yeah, so this is the big news, though.

00:44:10.000 He's being recharged again.

00:44:11.000 And I gotta be honest, I'm actually gonna defend Alec Baldwin a little bit on this one.

00:44:14.000 It is kind of crazy that they're, like, going after him again.

00:44:17.000 Yeah, who's charging him?

00:44:19.000 I think it's the New Mexico Grand Jury.

00:44:22.000 Well, Grand Jury indicted, but it's the Special Prosecutor Cary Morsey and Jason Lewis.

00:44:27.000 How come he's not protected under Double Jeopardy?

00:44:31.000 I don't think he was tried.

00:44:33.000 I think if you're found not guilty, but to be fair...

00:44:36.000 Actually, like, maybe this is what he deserves.

00:44:38.000 There have been a lot of people, especially people on the right, saying, we should not let prosecutors just keep doing this.

00:44:44.000 Like, if they run you through the charges and the charges fall off, you're done.

00:44:47.000 But I'm kind of like, yeah, yeah, hold on.

00:44:49.000 Jussie Smollett should get charged.

00:44:50.000 Like, a prosecutor letting the bad guy go does not mean we should be like, oh, well, I guess he got away with it, right?

00:44:58.000 I don't know, man.

00:44:59.000 I err on the side of less.

00:45:01.000 It just depends on the situation.

00:45:02.000 I agree that a prosecutor letting bad guys go on purpose over and over again is a problem, but... Well, I fear that Alec Baldwin has killed.

00:45:11.000 And if he is let out, he will kill again.

00:45:16.000 Yeah, his interactions with people in the public are, like, when he just, like, did he slam someone against the door or whatever and punch someone? 0.91

00:45:22.000 He shot, like, punch up.

00:45:24.000 But I'm only, I'm only mostly kidding.

00:45:26.000 I want to be, I want to be clear.

00:45:27.000 I am mostly kidding.

00:45:28.000 Mostly.

00:45:29.000 I don't really think there's a strong probability Alec Baldwin kills someone, but I do believe that there is a probability that he does.

00:45:35.000 Not that it's a great one, but it's higher than the average person because we know he's got a short temper.

00:45:39.000 And I think when you look at the data of this, of this, the data, when you look at the evidence in this case, I think it's greater than chance that he intentionally killed this woman.

00:45:49.000 I think it's greater than chance.

00:45:50.000 He had... Come on, guys.

00:45:52.000 We've been over this so many times, but I know a lot of people don't know the story.

00:45:55.000 Let me give you a version of events, assuming I'm the prosecutor.

00:46:00.000 Okay?

00:46:00.000 I'm not going to give you an actual prosecutorial breakdown because I'm not a prosecutor, but I'm going to say this.

00:46:03.000 I'm not going to give you the media's version.

00:46:05.000 I'm not going to be nice to this man.

00:46:07.000 Let me tell you a story.

00:46:09.000 Alec Baldwin, the producer and financier of a film, was having disputes with his staff who were upset over pay and safety.

00:46:16.000 He had numerous meetings with them.

00:46:18.000 He had a dinner scheduled with the woman in question, the victim who died.

00:46:23.000 Some point, while on set, Alec Baldwin was having an argument with her because she kept telling him what to do, but was not the director.

00:46:30.000 She's a cinematographer.

00:46:31.000 Alec Baldwin expressed in an interview his frustration over this.

00:46:35.000 In one of these scenes, he was drawing a weapon, pointing it at her, and pulling the trigger.

00:46:41.000 He did just that, firing a live round through her chest, killing her, and striking the man behind her.

00:46:46.000 It was later found that Baldwin had live ammunition in his gun belt.

00:46:50.000 He is not supposed to have live ammunition on his person, but he did.

00:46:54.000 Live ammunition was not only on his person, but was in the weapon that he pointed at the woman, pulled the trigger, killing her.

00:47:00.000 He later lied and said he did not pull the trigger.

00:47:03.000 Now, does that sound like an accident to you?

00:47:05.000 No, where did the ammunition come from?

00:47:07.000 Did he put it there, or did they come from the property?

00:47:10.000 Now, on cross-examination, I'm sure a good defense will ask a witness, ask Alec, where did the ammunition come from?

00:47:16.000 To which he says, I don't know.

00:47:18.000 And my response as a prosecutor would be like, I don't think.

00:47:23.000 It is a reasonable defense, the live bullets I had in my gun belt, that was loaded into my gun, that I pointed at a woman, pulled the trigger and killed her, and then went, but I have no idea where those bullets came from.

00:47:37.000 Who loaded the gun?

00:47:38.000 Did he load it?

00:47:38.000 Because if he loaded it, he was supposedly the armorer.

00:47:42.000 What was her name?

00:47:45.000 Now, of course, it is important to break this down because this is how criminal courts work.

00:47:48.000 I think the armorer handed it to the assistant director who handed it to Alec Baldwin and said, This is the importance of- Cold gun.

00:47:54.000 He said cold gun.

00:47:55.000 This is the importance of defense.

00:47:57.000 If a prosecutor says, Alec Baldwin had live ammunition on his person, fact, in his gun belt, fact, was he supposed to have what?

00:48:04.000 No.

00:48:05.000 There should be no live ammunition here.

00:48:07.000 The gun was loaded with live ammunition.

00:48:09.000 He pointed the gun at the woman, pulled the trigger, and killed her.

00:48:10.000 Ladies and gentlemen, this man did it intentionally.

00:48:12.000 It's murder, and they're charging with involuntary manslaughter.

00:48:14.000 Now, of course, the defense would then say, where did the bullets come from?

00:48:18.000 Did you load the gun?

00:48:20.000 Why were you pointing the gun to break down those points as to why it really happened?

00:48:24.000 That being said, It is a fact.

00:48:27.000 He was feuding with this woman.

00:48:28.000 He was in disputes over issues on set involving, my understanding was pay and security.

00:48:35.000 This woman who was frustrating him, he then shoots and kills. 0.99

00:48:40.000 I heard that they were shooting with the gun, like they were shooting target practice earlier?

00:48:46.000 Yeah, they were on the back and shooting cans.

00:48:47.000 According to other people that work on the movie, yeah.

00:48:50.000 The idea that you would use a live gun in a, In a movie like that?

00:48:55.000 I mean, there's all kinds of prop houses and, you know, using a gun that you were just actually shooting target practice.

00:49:02.000 Oh, is it confirmed that they were using the same gun Alec had on him?

00:49:06.000 That's what I'm asking.

00:49:07.000 I'm not, I don't know for sure.

00:49:09.000 I heard that, according to crew and cast, that they would go out after work and shoot at cans out back.

00:49:14.000 So there was live ammunition on set, which there was not supposed to be any live ammunition on set.

00:49:20.000 My guess here is that Alec intentionally fantasized about killing Helena Hutchins.

00:49:25.000 He pointed his gun at her, which he thought was empty, was blank, and was pretending to shoot her by pulling the trigger just out of, like, fantasy, because he was so angry at her. 0.99

00:49:34.000 And then someone on the set's like, yo, I'm gonna frame this piece of garbage. 0.99

00:49:39.000 I'm gonna put bullets in his gun and see what happens. 0.99

00:49:43.000 I mean, my opinion is that he did it on purpose. 1.00

00:49:46.000 The perfect crime.

00:49:46.000 I mean, I'm not kidding.

00:49:48.000 The perfect crime.

00:49:49.000 Oh no, I was just doing a movie and the gun that I had that was loaded with bullets that I had on my gun belt.

00:49:57.000 Like, I mean, I gotta be honest, man.

00:49:59.000 If this wasn't a movie set, this guy, whoever, like if Alec Ball was on the street and he was like, someone else handed me the gun, they'd be like, what?

00:50:08.000 Someone else handed me the gun, told me to point it at him.

00:50:11.000 The woman that got shot, she told me to do it! 1.00

00:50:14.000 He paid me a hundred grand to do it.

00:50:16.000 Why did you do it?

00:50:17.000 Because he was paying me.

00:50:18.000 That's the same reason that you did it in the movie. 0.96

00:50:20.000 Sir, you shot a woman.

00:50:20.000 Yeah, but she told me to.

00:50:22.000 Over and over again.

00:50:23.000 How did the bullets get in the gun?

00:50:25.000 I don't know.

00:50:25.000 Someone else handed it to me.

00:50:26.000 Sir, you have the bullets on you!

00:50:29.000 No idea!

00:50:30.000 It's all just handed to me and I let it all happen.

00:50:33.000 He was the producer, one of the producers.

00:50:35.000 It was really his responsibility to check everything.

00:50:37.000 I mean, him blindly trusting the armor and the AD is like... I don't believe that.

00:50:42.000 I just don't believe it for a second.

00:50:44.000 I don't know what happened and what didn't happen, but I know that, you know, I'm convinced that there's enough evidence to have a trial.

00:50:52.000 But I think it should be a murder trial.

00:50:55.000 Uh, well... They're giving him an involuntary manslaughter, and the premise there is basically, like, he was irresponsible with a gun, and because he's the producer of the film, he has more responsibility over who's loading and everything.

00:51:06.000 You know they only charge what they think they can prove.

00:51:08.000 So, I mean, even if someone agrees with you, they have to be able to prove it.

00:51:11.000 Yeah, without a shadow of a doubt, I don't think murder's on the table.

00:51:14.000 Because there's just unknowns.

00:51:16.000 I think murder's on the table, easily.

00:51:18.000 I don't know.

00:51:19.000 He was handed the gun.

00:51:21.000 It wasn't like he loaded it.

00:51:22.000 If he loaded it, that's one thing.

00:51:25.000 I suppose the argument then is, imagine a scenario where a guy shoots and kills a woman, and it's like, we can't charge him with murder because someone else gave him the gun.

00:51:35.000 It's like, no, you charged him as an accomplice.

00:51:38.000 Yeah, but did he know there were bullets in it?

00:51:39.000 He pointed a gun at a person and shot them.

00:51:41.000 Yeah, but now we get to the circumstance.

00:51:44.000 It's a movie.

00:51:46.000 Okay, fair point.

00:51:46.000 Why?

00:51:48.000 There was a circumstance in which he should be showing off the weapon.

00:51:48.000 Fair point.

00:51:51.000 Why did he have bullets on him?

00:51:54.000 They were supposed to be blank, and people were scattering them in with live ammo.

00:52:00.000 Then I think it's fair to say they need to investigate as to where the bullets came from, who brought them in, and they need to trace from point A to point B. But my issue with this is that you've got motive.

00:52:10.000 You've got motive, opportunity, and possession of the ammo and the weapon.

00:52:15.000 I don't understand how it's like, okay fine, fair point.

00:52:18.000 They're like, I don't know if we can prove it because it's on a movie set.

00:52:20.000 That just means the perfect crime.

00:52:22.000 Oh yeah, you wanna get away with it?

00:52:23.000 Do it on a movie set! 0.98

00:52:24.000 Because then everyone's gonna be like, even if you've got the bullets, you've got the gun, you're angry at the person, you're screaming at them, and then you shoot them! 0.90

00:52:30.000 Well, it was on a movie set.

00:52:31.000 That's the reason he was the producer, too, because he set it all up.

00:52:34.000 Like, to your point, it's his job to do it.

00:52:36.000 It's his job to do it that way, in which he could get away with it.

00:52:40.000 I don't go that far.

00:52:41.000 Some people argue that this woman, Helena Hutchins, was working on a Child Predator documentary, and then she gets hired for this film, and... Nah, that's way too circuitous.

00:52:51.000 But the issue actually is quite simple.

00:52:52.000 Alec Baldwin wanted to make a movie.

00:52:54.000 He's a very hot-headed guy.

00:52:55.000 He's hit people before.

00:52:57.000 He screams at his daughter.

00:52:58.000 We know he's got a temper.

00:52:59.000 He had a motive.

00:53:00.000 He was fighting with the staff.

00:53:02.000 There were problems on set.

00:53:03.000 They were threatening to, like, walk off.

00:53:04.000 I think I could be wrong.

00:53:05.000 I spent a long time trying to cover this.

00:53:06.000 And he ends up having a meeting with her at dinner.

00:53:09.000 Apparently, in an interview, he was discussing how she kept frustrating him by telling him what to do, despite the fact she's not the director.

00:53:15.000 So he's angry with her.

00:53:17.000 She's causing him problems. 0.97

00:53:18.000 He's a hothead.

00:53:19.000 This is a pattern of behavior he's had in the past.

00:53:22.000 Violent outbursts. 0.99

00:53:23.000 He has the means to kill her. 0.98

00:53:25.000 He has the opportunity to do so. 0.98

00:53:27.000 He was found with the bullets.

00:53:30.000 And he lied about pulling the trigger.

00:53:34.000 So I mean like...

00:53:36.000 I kind of feel like you line up all those circumstances and the lightest you can get with it is a conspiracy to commit murder.

00:53:43.000 But he was handed the gun.

00:53:44.000 Someone else brought the bullets, handed him the bullets, put the bullets in his gun belt.

00:53:48.000 Okay, he was framed.

00:53:49.000 Somebody wanted her dead and framed him.

00:53:52.000 There's a murder.

00:53:52.000 Somebody wanted Alec to kill somebody so that he would go to jail.

00:53:56.000 That's what I'm getting out of this.

00:53:58.000 Alec Baldwin's been doing action movies for decades.

00:54:01.000 And this is the thing about murder.

00:54:04.000 We talked about this.

00:54:05.000 When the story first broke, here's a guy who's been on set for decades handling weapons.

00:54:11.000 And in this one instance, I like, you know, I don't buy it.

00:54:14.000 Look, I'll put it this way.

00:54:16.000 A guy is in the street, and he gets into a fight, and he defends himself, and ends up killing one of the guys.

00:54:23.000 We say it's self-defense.

00:54:24.000 He didn't know it was gonna happen.

00:54:25.000 Let's say it's mutual combat.

00:54:28.000 There actually is, in law, if you are a trained fighter, you can get aggravated modifications to your charges because you know what you're doing can cause this harm. 0.99

00:54:38.000 So in the instance that Alec Baldwin's a moron who has no idea what's going on and fires a gun and goes, whoopsie daisy! 0.99

00:54:44.000 Sure. 0.98

00:54:46.000 But then you also have to mention to the jury and to the people, you expect me or a reasonable person to believe that a man who's been working in films and action movies with guns for decades Did not know about these issues.

00:55:00.000 Okay, then we're dealing with negligent homicide.

00:55:02.000 It's murder because of gross negligence on the part of Alec Baldwin, not involuntary manslaughter.

00:55:07.000 Which, I don't know what the laws are in New Mexico, if they actually have those... if they actually have that codified in their statutes.

00:55:15.000 Yeah, I'm looking where Phil's at right now.

00:55:18.000 I think you make a lot of sense.

00:55:19.000 They charge with what they think they can get, and it's pretty obvious that he was resultant in her death, meaning it was an involuntary manslaughter at minimum.

00:55:27.000 I wonder what they're going to do with the armor.

00:55:29.000 Did they charge the armorer and the assistant director for handing him the weapon?

00:55:32.000 They did.

00:55:33.000 They charged the armorer?

00:55:34.000 So, I mean, it's wild to me that the precedent being set here is actually like, you can get away with murder on a movie set.

00:55:41.000 But I'll be completely fair.

00:55:44.000 I don't think most people realize this.

00:55:46.000 The majority of premeditated murder is never solved.

00:55:50.000 Never.

00:55:50.000 Yeah.

00:55:53.000 Man, like, I gotta tell you.

00:55:54.000 Anybody who's ever actually had to deal with police and, like, serious crimes understands.

00:56:01.000 Ain't no solving any of this.

00:56:03.000 Your car gets stolen?

00:56:04.000 Sorry, have a nice day.

00:56:05.000 Your car's gone.

00:56:06.000 Chop shop gone, product's gone, seal number's all gone.

00:56:09.000 There's no, there's no searching for it.

00:56:11.000 The cops are gonna be like, well write it down and have a good day.

00:56:13.000 Your car's, that's it, it's over.

00:56:15.000 The likelihood they find your car, not gonna happen.

00:56:16.000 Are these AirPods useful for that kind of thing?

00:56:18.000 People are AirPodding their stuff?

00:56:20.000 AirTags.

00:56:21.000 AirTags.

00:56:21.000 Tracking their materials?

00:56:22.000 Yeah.

00:56:23.000 I mean, but they are useful.

00:56:24.000 I mean, you can, you can find it.

00:56:25.000 Criminals use AirTags to track you!

00:56:27.000 That's wild.

00:56:28.000 But do you, I mean, are you going to go there to wherever the car is?

00:56:31.000 You don't know where the car is.

00:56:32.000 Yeah, I wouldn't want to. 0.99

00:56:32.000 You know, it's like, I'd be like, oh shit. 0.99

00:56:33.000 The other thing too is it tells you that AirPods are moving, or AirTags are moving with you if it's not yours. 0.96

00:56:40.000 So one thing that criminals do is they'll put a tag on your car.

00:56:45.000 They'll be out in the city.

00:56:47.000 There will be a car that's really, really nice.

00:56:49.000 They'll stick an air tag on it.

00:56:50.000 And then they can see, you know, let's say you're at a really high-end restaurant or a casino.

00:56:56.000 And you're driving a super high-end car of some sort, something like, you know, $80,000, $100,000 car.

00:57:03.000 They're going to tag your car, wait for you to go home, and they're going to know where you live.

00:57:05.000 I had, um, when I went to San Francisco the first time, I parked my car, was going to look at an apartment to rent, I left my backpack in the back seat, I was gone in for 15 minutes, I came out, my window was shattered, backpack was gone, called the cops, and I was like, hey, they stole my, it's a laptop, so there's probably some tracking, and I had this like, hope for a week that maybe it would turn up. 0.98

00:57:27.000 Yo, that shit's gone. 0.97

00:57:28.000 Oh yeah. 1.00

00:57:29.000 Theft is life.

00:57:29.000 There's no finding it.

00:57:30.000 No, not at all.

00:57:31.000 Nothing you do about it.

00:57:31.000 I got bricked and wiped immediately.

00:57:33.000 It's not just theft.

00:57:35.000 I had a... This is not even a theft.

00:57:38.000 I had a phone lost while I was out with my friends.

00:57:42.000 Someone took it and kept it.

00:57:45.000 I used Find My Phone and went to the house where it was, and I called the police.

00:57:51.000 At first, I knocked on the door.

00:57:52.000 Nobody answered.

00:57:53.000 And so I'm sitting there waiting, being like, dude, I can't leave my phone.

00:57:56.000 And I know it's here because I'm looking at, like, I have two phones, an iPhone and Android.

00:58:00.000 And one I use as a camera and one I used as, like, my actual personal device.

00:58:05.000 So I called the police.

00:58:07.000 And I was like, yeah, hi, I, you know, uh, need some help.

00:58:10.000 I lost my phone somehow.

00:58:12.000 I don't know if it was stolen or if it was dropped or what happened, but it looks like someone recovered it, brought it to their house.

00:58:17.000 I used Find My Phone.

00:58:18.000 I'm here.

00:58:19.000 And they were like, sir, do not try to get your phone back.

00:58:22.000 And I was like, no, no, no, I'm in Williamsburg.

00:58:23.000 I'm not in a dangerous place.

00:58:24.000 I'm in like a upscale hipster place.

00:58:26.000 And they were like, sir, you need to leave right now.

00:58:29.000 And then I was like, okay, my phone is quite literally five feet from me, can you please come and help me get it back?

00:58:36.000 And they said no, and if I tried, I would be arrested.

00:58:40.000 Really?

00:58:41.000 Yeah, trespassing, and they're like, do not... What cop wants to be like, in New York, I'm gonna go and get into a hot conflict over a phone? 1.00

00:58:51.000 Oh yeah, that shit. 0.98

00:58:52.000 They're gonna be like, nah, dude, your phone's gone. 1.00

00:58:55.000 I'm not gonna potentially get into a shootout with some, you know, gangbanger over your phone.

00:59:00.000 Go buy a new one.

00:59:01.000 Get insurance next time.

00:59:02.000 And then I'm just like, it's right there!

00:59:04.000 I'm like, the other side of this door is my phone.

00:59:06.000 And I can't get it back.

00:59:07.000 And no one will answer, and they would not.

00:59:09.000 And so I waited, like, eight hours or whatever.

00:59:12.000 Nobody came out.

00:59:13.000 Phone was just there. 0.98

00:59:13.000 And then I just was like, screw it. 0.98

00:59:15.000 I left. 0.98

00:59:16.000 It's nuts.

00:59:17.000 Yeah, that was a long time ago.

00:59:19.000 Brutal.

00:59:21.000 I wonder what happened to that phone.

00:59:22.000 Probably got sold.

00:59:23.000 Smashed or something.

00:59:24.000 I mean, they couldn't open it.

00:59:25.000 Now I have, uh, they have these security apps you can get.

00:59:29.000 So I have this on my phones where if someone tries to open it and fails, it takes a picture of your face.

00:59:33.000 And then it uploads it to the internet.

00:59:35.000 That's pretty cool.

00:59:36.000 Emails it to you.

00:59:37.000 Uh, well, that is one option.

00:59:39.000 It can do a bunch of things.

00:59:40.000 It can post it right to your Twitter.

00:59:42.000 That'd be awesome.

00:59:43.000 This dude stole my phone.

00:59:44.000 But the problem with that is if you, like, let's say you're, like, getting out of the shower.

00:59:49.000 Oh, you're messing around, yeah.

00:59:50.000 And you're, like, fingers are pruning, you touch it, it takes a picture of your face and tweets it out, and you're like, you know, just out of the shower or something.

00:59:57.000 That'd be bad. 0.90

00:59:58.000 But anyway, yeah, so Alec Baldwin killed that lady. 0.93

01:00:00.000 That's pretty undisputed.

01:00:03.000 It's clearly undisputed, but like I said, there's definitely enough to put him on trial for at least manslaughter, but if they don't believe they can prove that you did the crime beyond a shadow of a doubt, there's so much politics involved in what a DA decides to prosecute and what they don't.

01:00:27.000 It is bad for their career if they accuse people of stuff and then they don't convict.

01:00:33.000 So you get a good DA has like a 99% conviction rate.

01:00:38.000 So they don't go after people unless they're sure they can, you know, nail them.

01:00:43.000 You guys, someone made a good point.

01:00:44.000 They posted about this.

01:00:46.000 Rukav said that a YouTuber shot her boyfriend and killed him.

01:00:50.000 She was not trying to kill him.

01:00:52.000 They were trying to do a stunt where he would hold up like a couple books and then she would shoot the books and he would catch the bullet in the books or something like this. 0.86

01:01:02.000 Except the bullet went through the books and he died.

01:01:04.000 She's in prison.

01:01:06.000 I guess.

01:01:06.000 Ooh.

01:01:07.000 Yeah.

01:01:08.000 Yeah.

01:01:10.000 What?

01:01:10.000 Or no, she must be out of prison by now.

01:01:12.000 She went to prison, though.

01:01:14.000 Dad, I'm not 100% sure that she should go to prison for that, because he was an active participant.

01:01:19.000 That's the argument with Alec Baldwin.

01:01:21.000 Oh, interesting.

01:01:22.000 She wasn't an active participant in getting shot.

01:01:24.000 She wasn't supposed to actually shoot.

01:01:26.000 Helena Hutchins was telling him to point the gun.

01:01:29.000 That's the argument he's making.

01:01:30.000 Point it towards me.

01:01:31.000 She's filming, she's like, I want you to do these things. 0.60

01:01:33.000 Oh, point it at me and shoot?

01:01:35.000 It wasn't in the script to pull the trigger. 0.80

01:01:38.000 Right, I don't believe it.

01:01:39.000 I don't believe it for a second. 0.88

01:01:40.000 I think Al Baldwin killed that lady.

01:01:41.000 What was the double jeopardy you said with the Baldwin case that he couldn't be tried again?

01:01:45.000 Was he charged before?

01:01:46.000 I thought so.

01:01:48.000 I think they were bringing charges then dropped them.

01:01:50.000 What were the charges they dropped?

01:01:52.000 I think it was, let me look it up.

01:01:56.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:01:57.000 I think it was the same thing.

01:01:59.000 The rust shooting incident.

01:02:01.000 So, uh, let's see.

01:02:02.000 Background, uh, union disputes and safety concerns.

01:02:05.000 Look at this!

01:02:05.000 Like, the boss is fighting with the staff, has a meeting with them, and he's complaining about...

01:02:11.000 Takes, then shoots and kills her.

01:02:14.000 But it was a movie, so that's fine. 0.99

01:02:16.000 Dude, I don't buy it, man.

01:02:18.000 They were actually complaining about safety.

01:02:19.000 Like, dude, the pieces lined up so perfectly for this, to argue it was a coincidence is just nonsense to me.

01:02:26.000 She is complaining to him about the safety of all these guns.

01:02:29.000 Well, that proves it.

01:02:30.000 See?

01:02:30.000 It was an accident.

01:02:31.000 She was complaining about safety, and then she died.

01:02:33.000 I will not consider that an accident. 0.98

01:02:35.000 Someone intentionally seeded bullets into his gun so that he would shoot and kill somebody. 0.99

01:02:40.000 Ian! 0.97

01:02:40.000 He had the bullets on him! 0.97

01:02:43.000 They searched him, and they were like, Alec has the bullets!

01:02:48.000 I mean, were they the actual, were they the same bullets that go in the gun?

01:02:52.000 Yes!

01:02:52.000 Alec Baldwin had the bullets!

01:02:54.000 Let me pull this up.

01:02:55.000 I don't know, man.

01:02:59.000 Like I said, I mean, there's not really, like, I don't feel like there's a problem establishing motive or establishing opportunity or ability.

01:03:08.000 For the record, it was an involuntary manslaughter charge dropped in April of 2023.

01:03:13.000 And then Helena Hutchins also was charged with involuntary manslaughter.

01:03:18.000 They cited reasons for dropping it was that they needed more time to investigate.

01:03:23.000 So they have new evidence?

01:03:24.000 Yeah.

01:03:26.000 Which is an interesting reason to drop the charges.

01:03:29.000 So, I didn't know you could charge somebody and then drop the charges and then recharge them the same thing.

01:03:35.000 Maybe it's because he wasn't found not guilty.

01:03:37.000 Yeah, it wasn't brought to trial.

01:03:38.000 Yeah, you have to go through trial to be actually tried, not a...

01:03:43.000 Dude, I feel like if they open the can of worms on this and all the cast and crew, a lot of them are going to get, would get popped for like firing live rounds on set at the very least, which you're not supposed to do.

01:03:55.000 A lot of people will get blacklisted from the industry.

01:03:57.000 And I don't know that necessarily they were committing crimes by doing that, but they were definitely violating policy, company policy.

01:04:05.000 There was not supposed to be any live ammunition on set.

01:04:09.000 Well, like with that too, I don't think they'll go after them because there's not like, you know, unless they recorded themselves doing it, like evidence of them doing it, but obviously with the murder or, you know, just death of her, there's the evidence that it happened, so.

01:04:26.000 And then the shooting of the director, who took one in the shoulder.

01:04:29.000 That was the same bullet though, wasn't it?

01:04:31.000 Yeah, it went through Paulina Hutchinson.

01:04:34.000 Hit him.

01:04:34.000 I don't think there's any charges for that.

01:04:37.000 I don't think there's any charges for that, for him hitting that guy.

01:04:37.000 What?

01:04:40.000 I mean, why wouldn't they?

01:04:44.000 Reckless endangerment, you know, or I mean, they could get him on some kind of battery charge or something like that.

01:04:49.000 Cause they actually, actually did.

01:04:52.000 He did injure him.

01:04:52.000 And if they're going to charge him for killing the woman, why wouldn't they charge him for shooting the other guy?

01:04:57.000 Yeah.

01:04:57.000 Makes sense.

01:04:59.000 Is he, is he, what are all, what are his, all of his charges?

01:05:03.000 I don't know, it's hard to find this stuff, though, because they've rewritten so many articles about it.

01:05:07.000 Yeah, it is annoying.

01:05:08.000 But the big news, so, like, five live rounds were found, and I think a handful of them were in his gun belt, so I'm trying to find that specific citation.

01:05:18.000 Hmm.

01:05:19.000 But it's mostly been removed from...

01:05:24.000 Yeah, he has criminal culpability in the death of Helena Hutchins and the shooting of Joel Sousa.

01:05:29.000 So yeah, they're going to charge him for shooting the dude too.

01:05:33.000 Oh, okay.

01:05:36.000 This is the first I've heard that he had the bullets on his belt as well.

01:05:39.000 No, we talked about it like 15 times, bro.

01:05:41.000 It's just been so long.

01:05:43.000 Yeah, maybe it's been a while.

01:05:44.000 We've got to present the evidence.

01:05:46.000 Yeah, because it was in the original investigation, and when that happened, it was like, boom, there it is.

01:05:50.000 Yeah.

01:05:51.000 Alec Baldwin had live rounds on his person.

01:05:53.000 I think that makes it open and shut.

01:05:58.000 Yeah, I mean, like I said, I... I think I might have found it in the Vanity Fair article.

01:06:04.000 But they had, he had the... Two loose .45 bullets were discovered on top of a prop cart.

01:06:09.000 A third was in the bandolier worn by actor Jason Ackles, and a fourth was in the gun belt worn by Baldwin.

01:06:15.000 A fifth was found in the box of dummy ammunition with Gutierrez.

01:06:19.000 So he had a live round in his gun belt.

01:06:21.000 Live round.

01:06:22.000 We'll clarify for the show, but he had the live ammunition The same kind of bullet used for the gun was on his person.

01:06:31.000 I think that it was in another actor's bandolier kind of indicates that he didn't, like, if he did do it on purpose and he was the one that, if he was intending it, then that would have been like a red herring.

01:06:45.000 I just don't think it was.

01:06:46.000 I just think it's so dang crazy, but there is the reality of Innocent Until Proven Guilty that if Alec Baldwin really wanted to kill this woman, takes a handful of bullets, mixes them into a box, puts a couple in his gun belt, loads the gun, kills her, and then goes, but look, there's other bullets over here too!

01:07:01.000 Like, it must have been somebody else! 0.86

01:07:02.000 Like, crazy!

01:07:04.000 Alec Baldwin pointed the gun, pulled the trigger, and then lied and said he didn't pull the trigger.

01:07:08.000 And investigators found he lied.

01:07:10.000 The gun does not operate unless you- It's, uh, what is it, a single action?

01:07:14.000 Meaning you have to cock the hammer and pull the trigger.

01:07:16.000 Yep.

01:07:17.000 There's- He lied about it.

01:07:19.000 I think there's a strong possibility, I think it's reasonable to assume, the woman he was fighting with, over issues on set, he killed. 0.98

01:07:29.000 He's a hothead.

01:07:30.000 It's a pattern of behavior.

01:07:31.000 He had the means and the motive to do it. 0.90

01:07:33.000 Yeah, punch the guy over the parking spot. 1.00

01:07:36.000 But think about this, think about this. 1.00

01:07:37.000 Let's imagine that Alec Baldwin really wanted to kill this lady. 1.00

01:07:39.000 Yeah, punch the guy calling his daughter a fat pig or whatever he did. 1.00

01:07:43.000 He's got a temper. 0.99

01:07:44.000 But imagine this, imagine he really wanted, imagine a scenario where a guy says

01:07:48.000 he wants to commit a murder, so he goes onto a movie set where he knows that,

01:07:54.000 or I mean in this instance, they're on a movie set, they're having problems.

01:07:57.000 Alec Baldwin decided he could get away with murder in this hypothetical situation.

01:08:03.000 All he had to do was take a couple of the extra bullets and mix them into a box.

01:08:07.000 And now all of a sudden, everyone's like, it must have been an accident.

01:08:09.000 You know, where'd the bolts come from?

01:08:11.000 Why did he pull the trigger and then lie about it?

01:08:14.000 The only thing... This is all that matters.

01:08:17.000 He pulled the trigger, killing her, and then lied and claimed he didn't.

01:08:20.000 Do you also remember what he said about after he shot her?

01:08:22.000 He walked out and wasn't even attempting to help her or anything.

01:08:26.000 For like 45 minutes.

01:08:27.000 In an interview he's like, I didn't even know she was shot.

01:08:30.000 Like what?

01:08:31.000 You pointed a gun at a woman, pulled the trigger, she flies back screaming, everyone runs over like she's dying, and you walk out of the room totally oblivious?

01:08:37.000 How do you not know that she's shot?

01:08:41.000 I can't believe you said that.

01:08:43.000 I think Alec Baldwin intentionally killed her, And did not know how to explain his behavior, which was erratic and made no sense.

01:08:52.000 So, after he kills her, feeling justified and satisfied with having done the deed, he gets up and walks out, doesn't render aid, is not shocked or surprised at what happened because he did it.

01:09:04.000 Now, Alec Baldwin kills a woman intentionally, right?

01:09:07.000 Is he gonna go, oh jeez, oh no, how did I, I just pointed a gun and pulled the trigger and she died, I can't believe that happened.

01:09:13.000 If he wanted her dead, he would know that she was going to die, he would not react with shock at her dying, he would get up and be like, yep, and he'd walk out of the room.

01:09:23.000 And then he's like, oh, it was only 45 minutes later, I realized that she was actually shot.

01:09:27.000 You pointed a gun at her and pulled the trigger, it went bang, she falls backwards, two people got hit, and everyone's screaming!

01:09:27.000 What do you mean?

01:09:34.000 I don't buy it for a second, dude.

01:09:36.000 And then he has the bullet on him!

01:09:39.000 I'm sorry, man.

01:09:42.000 I didn't know that she was shot.

01:09:44.000 You shot two people and you didn't know.

01:09:47.000 Let's talk about Joe Biden's son.

01:09:52.000 He's lying about everything.

01:09:53.000 I'm sorry.

01:09:54.000 We got half an hour talking about it.

01:09:55.000 He wanted to do it.

01:09:55.000 Anyway, here's another story.

01:09:56.000 It's Friday.

01:09:57.000 Another story.

01:09:59.000 Biden to forgive another $5 billion in student debt for 74,000 borrowers just a week after announcing separate plan.

01:10:06.000 Are you effective?

01:10:08.000 Affected.

01:10:09.000 Yo, Joe Biden is pouring gasoline on this country and lighting it on fire.

01:10:14.000 He's literally, he's just trying to purchase votes.

01:10:18.000 This student loan stuff drives me nuts.

01:10:20.000 I actually got my loans forgiven.

01:10:23.000 It had been 25 years and I hadn't missed a payment, which I think is why.

01:10:26.000 So they targeted me first, but now it's just total extraction of wealth.

01:10:31.000 I don't know where that five billion is.

01:10:32.000 If they told Fannie Mae or whoever these loan companies are, you're not getting your money back, that's a different story.

01:10:37.000 But if they're printing five billion to hand it to these private loan corporations, And they're just forcing you to pay back your loans early with... That's ridiculous because it's costing us all money.

01:10:47.000 It's costing us all inflation.

01:10:51.000 It's devaluing all of our currency by printing money.

01:10:55.000 You know, as we watch Sports Illustrated crumble and Bud Light may be on the verge of collapse, Joe Biden is just throwing money in the air while screaming yeehaw.

01:11:06.000 Part of me thinks like we're gonna have to start rebuilding like we're building the parallel economy We better crank that thing up man because we're gonna need institutions of our own to help so that we survive Yeah, and like for someone like Biden, too, it's like you make the argument that this isn't sustainable, you can't keep doing this.

01:11:23.000 It's like, why does he care?

01:11:25.000 He's not going to be around.

01:11:26.000 And, you know, to the point about like purchasing votes, like, I mean, didn't he already tried something like this also, and then it like got struck down or whatever, like?

01:11:36.000 These people are going to turn on him, too, because he's going to over-promise again.

01:11:43.000 I just don't think it's going to work, but even this plan right there, if it does, it's not going to be sustainable.

01:11:52.000 You need people that are willing to say, I don't want the free money.

01:11:59.000 Yeah.

01:12:00.000 That's just not gonna happen, because the Titanic has hit the iceberg, and everybody's trying to steal as much as they can before the ship sinks.

01:12:06.000 Did you hear the theory that the Titanic got hit by a U-boat?

01:12:10.000 Got sunk?

01:12:11.000 Okay, anyway, so, uh... I wanna talk about that!

01:12:15.000 The issue that we're dealing with is that all of the people, a large portion of the people in this country are just like, let me extract from the system whatever I can, as it's sinking, and Joe Biden is just making it rain, and he's like, spend it while you can, baby!

01:12:27.000 How do we instantiate honor in the species, to be like, stop giving me this money, I don't want it!

01:12:32.000 Well, I mean, you can't do that to, like, kids that already are, like, you know, have already got the debt.

01:12:39.000 You're not going to get kids that have signed on to what they assumed was the, you know, the deal.

01:12:46.000 If I go to school and I study and I get a good, you know, get good grades, I'll get out and I'll get a good job.

01:12:53.000 There will be a job for me.

01:12:54.000 That's not the way that things are panning out.

01:12:58.000 And there's not a lot of great answers for those kids.

01:13:02.000 Um, if they spent a lot of money on a degree that doesn't, you know, doesn't have a job to go with it or there's no, you know, no market for that job, they're kind of effed.

01:13:13.000 We had someone call into the Members Only show and said that their significant other was a trooper in Texas.

01:13:21.000 And that they've begun discussing fears of civil war because the Biden administration may start arresting Texas law enforcement.

01:13:30.000 We have not confirmed any of this.

01:13:33.000 And so just the general idea is difficult to bring up because someone's saying it.

01:13:38.000 We reached out and they're like, no, we don't want to talk about this.

01:13:40.000 We're done.

01:13:40.000 And maybe it's nothing.

01:13:41.000 Maybe it's fake news.

01:13:42.000 Maybe someone was lying to us to try and sensationalize what's going on.

01:13:48.000 But the reason why it would make sense in either direction is that Texas has begun arresting illegal immigrants, and we have what is quite literally a Fort Sumter circumstance, where the federal government is saying, this is our jurisdiction, and a state has deployed armed soldiers to push them out and say, no it's not, it's ours now. 0.85

01:14:08.000 With Fort Sumter, you have the Union forces at Fort Sumter and the South Carolina being like, hey, get out.

01:14:14.000 It's ours now.

01:14:15.000 And the Union's saying no.

01:14:17.000 Now you have federal law enforcement on the border saying the border is our authority and Texas National Guard deployed armed soldiers to push them out, take control of the area and begin arresting illegal immigrants.

01:14:31.000 Sooner or later, this reaches ahead in some way.

01:14:35.000 Either it's going to be the federal government just gives up, and then other states recognize the federal authority is gone and eroded, or the federal government responds with force.

01:14:42.000 Or something like that happens.

01:14:44.000 I bring it up in this context because I'm like, everything I see Joe Biden do, and the Democratic establishment, I don't see any long-term planning.

01:14:53.000 I see them basically just setting fire to the curtains before they leave.

01:14:57.000 Yeah, I don't see the long-term planning.

01:15:00.000 It does feel like all, like, just kind of, let's do right now what's good for now.

01:15:04.000 No!

01:15:05.000 They're like, okay, we're getting kicked out, light it up.

01:15:08.000 I knew a guy once who got evicted from his apartment, so he took Hershey's syrup and he squirted it into the cracks of every nook of the building.

01:15:16.000 Yeah, bad guy.

01:15:18.000 And he was like, this'll teach him, and I'm like, I think you already taught him by not paying rent.

01:15:22.000 But this is the idea, like, the Democrats, they're getting evicted, so they're like, set fire to the whole thing.

01:15:28.000 Well, I mean, you know, the Thucydides trap stuff comes to mind because the United States has a strong economic power with a strong military, you know, facing an up-and-coming China means, you know, conflict and the idea that the United States needs to be weaker, you know, or a managed decline. 0.75

01:15:46.000 That's not something that's so far-fetched or something that hasn't been discussed.

01:15:51.000 Like, Barack Obama essentially said this, you know, said that the United States Was going to manage being not the only suit, not the superpower, just be another country among many.

01:16:03.000 And that takes a certain amount of, you know, of management to get to the point where the U.S.

01:16:09.000 economy is not the dominant economy.

01:16:12.000 And also some level of acquiescence, because like half the country, and I don't know the exact numbers, is like, screw that.

01:16:18.000 No, we're maintaining hegemon. 0.97

01:16:20.000 We are going to be America first, the greatest country on Earth.

01:16:24.000 Try and take it, please, because you're not going to get it.

01:16:27.000 Well, I mean, yeah, there are people and the thing is, yes, but a big part of the problem is this hasn't been proposed to the American people.

01:16:37.000 There's no there was no like vote about this or, you know, or, you know, Any kind of inquiry into, hey, America, do you want to start passing laws or signing on to treaties that actually kind of weaken the United States power, you know, over or its own sovereignty, you know, that that we're we're, you know, you know, listening to foreign powers like, you know, NGOs and stuff or whatever, like,

01:17:07.000 Do we want the United States to sign on to those things?

01:17:11.000 And a lot of times the American people don't pay attention.

01:17:14.000 And so because the politicians that do sign on, or that actually are the ones that are like, yes, we should plan this kind of stuff, because that stuff happens quietly, your average person doesn't know, so they get reelected.

01:17:25.000 And also, like, if they had been like, yo, we're going to reduce the American hegemonic power, we want to get rid of these American military bases, and we're going to co-parent the Earth with the Chinese Communist Party, with the Russians, and with the corporations.

01:17:37.000 I'd be open to that if you give me a plan, because I don't like American military police necessarily on its face.

01:17:43.000 It's caused a lot of panic, pain, and suffering, probably unnecessarily.

01:17:46.000 But you better give me a way that that's going to be better than the stability we've had over the last 70 years.

01:17:52.000 They're already making the play that I predicted.

01:17:54.000 A couple weeks ago, Trump had received support from a mere 56,000 caucus-goers, amounting to some 7% of registered Republicans in the state and just 3% of overall registered voters in Iowa.

01:18:08.000 They're already pushing the narrative that Donald Trump is winning in the absolute minority, and they will use that to justify barring him from power.

01:18:17.000 So, my prediction was, they're going to remove him from the ballot in a bunch of states, if they do, Trump will win the Electoral College, but the You know, if California removes Trump, he loses 10 million Republican votes.

01:18:30.000 He was never going to win the electoral votes in that state anyway.

01:18:33.000 But now, he's going to win the general election with 40 million to Biden's 70, and they're going to say, this can't be.

01:18:41.000 All the left is going to say, wow, no one should be president with that little vote.

01:18:47.000 This makes no sense.

01:18:49.000 That will be their, in essence, Cass's belly for why they're okay with the use of force to stop Trump from taking the presidency, even after he won the election.

01:18:58.000 They'll say, one of the bad guys, Trump didn't actually win, the system is broken.

01:19:02.000 He only got, you know, 30%?

01:19:03.000 And they're gonna be like, he's not the real president.

01:19:07.000 That's what they did in Egypt.

01:19:08.000 They already want to abolish the Electoral College.

01:19:11.000 Right, exactly.

01:19:12.000 And you're going to have Democrats coming out and being like, this country does not want Donald Trump.

01:19:18.000 The majority of people voted against him.

01:19:20.000 We should not allow him to just use a technicality to take power and turn this country into a fascist dictatorship.

01:19:26.000 They are already making the argument.

01:19:27.000 In Iowa, 7% of the voters voted for Trump and he won.

01:19:30.000 That is not the will of the people.

01:19:31.000 They're making an argument on quote-unquote democracy.

01:19:34.000 Is that a real number?

01:19:35.000 Yes.

01:19:36.000 I thought that he pulled, what, 70% of the caucus itself, but that was only 7%?

01:19:40.000 Record low voter turnout for the caucus.

01:19:42.000 It was cold, too.

01:19:43.000 That day was bad.

01:19:44.000 And Trump got around 7% of the registered Republicans.

01:19:49.000 Wow.

01:19:50.000 But this is how elections happen.

01:19:54.000 What's the argument?

01:19:55.000 The Democrats, the Republicans who don't show up should have a say?

01:19:58.000 You don't show up, you didn't vote.

01:19:58.000 No.

01:19:59.000 Abstain.

01:20:00.000 There you go.

01:20:00.000 Your vote was abstain.

01:20:01.000 Well, not showing up isn't a problem for Democrats.

01:20:03.000 They mail you a ballot.

01:20:05.000 Yeah.

01:20:05.000 I mean, and, and honestly, that isn't, that is worth mentioning if, if, you know, people are going to say things like, Oh, well, you know, showing up, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:20:14.000 It's like, well, you know, maybe they should show up if their vote's going to count.

01:20:18.000 Right.

01:20:19.000 Biden was saying it meant nothing or whatever.

01:20:20.000 Iowa means nothing, but like he finished fourth in Iowa in 2020.

01:20:24.000 And then, uh, yeah, I know.

01:20:26.000 And then also like he got like, You know, I think it was like 20, 20,000 or something votes.

01:20:32.000 And it's, you know, and he's the president.

01:20:35.000 So I don't think there's going to be a Super Tuesday.

01:20:37.000 And this is this is rough for us because we're trying to plan this event.

01:20:41.000 We want to do a big like live show in West Virginia.

01:20:44.000 But I'm just like, man, we're going to spend all this money setting up this live show and like making tickets and it's going to be left.

01:20:49.000 Yeah, well, yeah, right.

01:20:50.000 No, Nikki Haley and DeSantis will drop out.

01:20:51.000 We thought we thought Ron was going to drop out today.

01:20:54.000 Because he announced a press conference or something.

01:20:56.000 Politico announced he was having a press conference and he never showed up.

01:20:59.000 Or he didn't show up for like half an hour.

01:21:00.000 Did he ever show up?

01:21:00.000 I don't know what happened.

01:21:01.000 I don't know.

01:21:02.000 I didn't even see.

01:21:03.000 Yeah.

01:21:03.000 Vermin Supreme?

01:21:04.000 I tried looking for him and Vermin Supreme kept popping up.

01:21:07.000 He said he's champion?

01:21:09.000 DeSantis sent his champion instead.

01:21:11.000 Well, it was funny because Laura Loomer was like, why is this man who posed naked with Mickey Mouse gloves appearing at a Ron DeSantis event?

01:21:17.000 And it's like, it's a good question, but I don't blame Ron for Vermin Supreme crashing the party.

01:21:22.000 But either way, if he was invited or not, that just speaks to the state of his campaign right now.

01:21:27.000 It speaks to the state of his campaign that when Laura Loomer went to a DeSantis event, she got thrown out.

01:21:32.000 And when Vermin Supreme shows up and jumps up on stage, he just does his thing.

01:21:37.000 I don't think... I think the likelihood is he wasn't invited, he did his thing.

01:21:41.000 Actually, there's... Let's pull up the video.

01:21:43.000 We have a... No, that's not the video.

01:21:45.000 Where's the video at?

01:21:45.000 Here we go.

01:21:46.000 We have this tweet from... ALX on Twitter.

01:21:50.000 and uh... also that so here's he's up there for a long time

01:22:03.000 but i think that's insane Like, if he's, like, technically a protester and he's allowed to be up on stage, like, that... No, no way.

01:22:11.000 No way.

01:22:11.000 Where's security?

01:22:12.000 This is a DeSantis event?

01:22:14.000 Yeah.

01:22:14.000 For sure confirmed?

01:22:15.000 Yeah.

01:22:16.000 B.S.

01:22:17.000 DeSantis is running for... He's going for the presidential nomination.

01:22:21.000 Where's security?

01:22:22.000 There's no way this was an accident.

01:22:24.000 They let Vermin Supreme do this.

01:22:26.000 Hands down.

01:22:28.000 If the argument is they didn't know he was gonna do it, they let him do it when he jumped up on stage.

01:22:32.000 Laurel Loomer was standing in a room and they're like, get her!

01:22:32.000 That's so nuts.

01:22:37.000 There's a video of a guy in a wheelchair saying nothing and they walk up like, time to go, sir. 0.72

01:22:41.000 And you mean to tell me that Vermin Supreme was able to jump up on the stage and start saying, when I say zombie, you say free or whatever and everyone's just cheering for it?

01:22:48.000 Yeah.

01:22:48.000 Ron DeSantis, let this happen.

01:22:51.000 Now, I got no issue with Vermin.

01:22:53.000 I like that he mocks the system.

01:22:54.000 So, you know, no beef.

01:22:55.000 I question why he got naked with Mickey Mouse gloves.

01:22:58.000 I find it to be very strange.

01:22:59.000 I'm just happy that he's not around the Libertarians anymore. 0.99

01:23:02.000 Vermin is... I think he's an anarchist.

01:23:05.000 I don't know that he's like a far leftist.

01:23:07.000 I think he's just like a core anarchist with like no real strong...

01:23:12.000 All of his schtick is about some kind of government program, and he jumped into the libertarian... You know, but like, outside of his actual character, if you talk to him, I know him decently well.

01:23:23.000 I don't hang out with him or anything, but like, I've had dinner with him, and talked to him, and his thing is basically like...

01:23:31.000 The system is corrupt. 0.98

01:23:32.000 These politicians are all corrupt. 1.00

01:23:32.000 We're going to mock them ruthlessly. 1.00

01:23:34.000 And he's very anarcho, like, stripped the government of its power.

01:23:37.000 He's pretty woke.

01:23:38.000 When the Mises guys... Well, he probably went woke. 0.97

01:23:40.000 Yeah, when the Mises guys kind of came in and took over the Libertarian Party, he is when he left because he was friendly with the kind of woke left-leaning Libertarians that were in positions of power.

01:23:52.000 But this is what so many of these leftists do.

01:23:55.000 They, or I should say liberals, the moment they saw Actually, I'll put it this way.

01:24:03.000 They were never liberals.

01:24:04.000 They were never real anarchists or libertarians. 0.98

01:24:07.000 They were always authoritarian, collectivist crackpots.

01:24:10.000 They publicly claimed that they were anarchist because that was the popular thing to say.

01:24:15.000 I want the government to not have power over your life.

01:24:17.000 And then once they started attacking people and gaining power, they were like, no, we were always for that.

01:24:22.000 So he's the kind of guy who, it would seem, just marches in lockstep with the far left.

01:24:28.000 Yeah, I think, personally, I think that he's just, like, he'll go wherever he's allowed to be in libertarianism.

01:24:34.000 Why was he allowed to be at a DeSantis event?

01:24:36.000 I don't know.

01:24:36.000 I found the answer to your question, by the way, about the press conference, because I saw the original post that says Ron DeSantis is about to hold a press conference outside and he's late and letting the reporters in the cold.

01:24:49.000 He said that he'll be back in New Hampshire on Sunday.

01:24:51.000 He wouldn't answer any questions about whether he'll be in the state on Monday or Tuesday on primary day.

01:24:57.000 That's literally it.

01:24:58.000 So he came to a press conference and said, I'll be back, see you later, and that was it?

01:25:01.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:25:02.000 I need to understand how it is that Vermin was able to go up on stage without security doing anything about it.

01:25:07.000 Yeah.

01:25:09.000 So nuts.

01:25:10.000 I don't know.

01:25:13.000 We've seen the videos.

01:25:14.000 Matt Kim posted a video where he was like, I was just thrown out for no reason.

01:25:19.000 They wouldn't even let him go to the neighboring building to have dinner.

01:25:21.000 I mean everyone you know that there's a lot of personal garbage that's going on with this stuff it's it's really catty you know who's who's saying nice things about me or mean things about me on Twitter is is a big a big thing for especially at least you know it seemed like it was for the DeSantis campaign if if If you interacted with them and were not favorable towards DeSantis, they weren't looking to convince you that you should be favorable towards DeSantis.

01:25:52.000 They were looking to convince you that you were a bad person.

01:25:54.000 It's real disappointing because that's like people making fun of the DeSantis campaign is like trying to light a spark underneath the campaign to give it some combustive momentum.

01:26:02.000 No, that burns!

01:26:03.000 Stop! 1.00

01:26:04.000 Get that spark out of here.

01:26:06.000 It's too hot.

01:26:07.000 I'm really happy that Ron's losing.

01:26:10.000 Well, I am because it's like at a certain point when you were like, hey, I'm a big fan.

01:26:15.000 I like this guy Why don't you stop doing this bad thing? 1.00

01:26:18.000 And then they're like we're gonna keep doing bad thing and I'm like, okay and they respond with and you know What fuck you? 0.98

01:26:27.000 See you later guy I had somebody like complaining that I didn't cover Kim Reynolds endorsement like months ago I'm like, okay, it wasn't like really surprising and then also on the other hand like I You know, it was a bigger deal that week that, you know, Rick Scott endorsed Trump over DeSantis, the sitting, you know, senator of a state and former governor. 0.97

01:26:48.000 And, like, they didn't make a huge deal about that.

01:26:50.000 And then, you know... The personality traits of the woke are the same as the never-Trumpers.

01:26:57.000 Yeah.

01:26:58.000 It's the same. 0.91

01:26:59.000 Irrational, anger, emotional, I should win, I should get what I want, principles be damned. 0.61

01:27:05.000 And so a lot of these Never Trumpers latched on to Ron DeSantis and they dragged him down to the depths of destruction and oblivion.

01:27:11.000 And he's gone.

01:27:12.000 And that's it.

01:27:14.000 He is a sad laughing stock.

01:27:16.000 I'm imagining someone being like, Ron, I'm telling you, high heels.

01:27:21.000 You're gonna win.

01:27:22.000 It's gonna pull really well.

01:27:24.000 I mean, it, uh, it sucks that his, his, um, you know, the, the people that were speaking for his campaign weren't, uh, weren't a little more proactive in trying to convince people and be a little more friendly.

01:27:37.000 But at the same time, like Ron was, you know, it's like talking to a two by four.

01:27:42.000 Yeah.

01:27:43.000 Those, those videos with like the painful smiles and like the robotic movements are just like, they're too, they're too much.

01:27:49.000 He's an athlete.

01:27:50.000 We needed more of him in action, like physical action.

01:27:53.000 You need a leader.

01:27:54.000 And leaders have to be good at a lot of things.

01:27:57.000 So when we're looking at fighting, Sean Strickland is a leader.

01:28:03.000 We're big fans.

01:28:04.000 He's defending the little guy and we really respect it.

01:28:04.000 He's saying some great stuff.

01:28:07.000 He's a good dude.

01:28:08.000 He's a wild guy.

01:28:09.000 And he's good at what he does.

01:28:11.000 Should he be president?

01:28:12.000 No.

01:28:13.000 Because while he may be the champ when it comes to his weight division and his fighting, when you're a leader, you need a bunch of different characteristics.

01:28:22.000 So, Ron DeSantis, let's say there's ten categories that would make you a good president.

01:28:27.000 Ron maybe has two of them, very high marks, and the rest are all in the gutter.

01:28:31.000 So he was not the right choice for this.

01:28:33.000 But I am glad he ran.

01:28:35.000 Because it would be a disaster for all of us.

01:28:39.000 If he didn't, he endorsed Donald Trump.

01:28:41.000 Trump said, we're going to bring him into the fold.

01:28:43.000 We're big.

01:28:44.000 Everyone loves Ron.

01:28:45.000 And then come 2027, Ron's running.

01:28:48.000 And we're like, what have we done? 0.81

01:28:50.000 Our backbench is garbage. 0.93

01:28:52.000 We're in trouble. 0.97

01:28:53.000 We got nobody.

01:28:54.000 That's true.

01:28:55.000 People do credit the Florida legislature with a lot of what happened in Florida during the COVID lockdowns is keeping that state open was in part the legislature and Ron took a lot of the credit for it.

01:29:07.000 I don't know who's going to be the VP, man.

01:29:09.000 It's got to be Vivek.

01:29:10.000 Yeah, but even Vivek is not VP.

01:29:12.000 I mean, I think for success it's got to be Vivek because he's grooming the next president.

01:29:16.000 They have like the most, you know, the most chemistry that we've seen on stage.

01:29:21.000 I mean, there hasn't been a whole lot of, you know, Trump on stage with a lot of people and especially former candidates.

01:29:26.000 Gabbard maybe?

01:29:27.000 I get that.

01:29:28.000 Kelsey Gabbard maybe makes sense. 0.97

01:29:29.000 That's what I'm... I'm not talking... She would be great.

01:29:32.000 The idea that Vivek has to be VP because he's grooming the next president?

01:29:35.000 No, no, no, no.

01:29:36.000 What matters is, does the VP help get a new state?

01:29:36.000 That's not what matters.

01:29:39.000 Am I going to win a state with this person?

01:29:40.000 Am I going to win a demographic with this person?

01:29:42.000 And are they the kind of person that could fit in a role that is subsidiary and not very much in the limelight?

01:29:48.000 Vivek is a hot potato, man.

01:29:50.000 He's not going to fit in that role.

01:29:52.000 Chief of Staff, perhaps?

01:29:53.000 Something like that?

01:29:54.000 I don't even know if that's the right one.

01:29:55.000 He may not want to work in administration like that.

01:29:58.000 I would have preferred Vivek be the guy to Trump, but he was at 8% or whatever in Iowa.

01:30:05.000 He's 5% or something like that nationwide or lower.

01:30:07.000 in Iowa, he's like 5% or something like that nationwide or lower. Like I don't

01:30:13.000 see how he, how Trump benefits at all by picking for the...

01:30:17.000 He doesn't, the country, it's like kind of like Aaron Rodgers, like Favre, the Green Bay

01:30:21.000 Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers, he sat the bench for the first year as a

01:30:24.000 nobody. But they knew he was great and that he would be great so he, Brett Favre,

01:30:29.000 you know, just, just took, you know, they all took it for the team, it was about the

01:30:32.000 team and making the team the best it could be.

01:30:34.000 The thing about him like being at like 8% is I think because he's aligned so much with Trump that like you know in the absence of Trump I think that number would be a lot higher whereas the other candidates that like they are their support is seen as you know opposing Trump.

01:30:51.000 So it would actually kind of be confusing to me to like have him at a higher number because since he's so aligned with Trump, I feel on a lot of things.

01:30:59.000 That's, you know, that's where that's coming from.

01:31:02.000 And he's like, actually, I think he has some good like suggestions on, you know, like banning the, you know, cryptocurrency, whatever that was.

01:31:13.000 And then also, you know, with the pardoning of Assange, that's another suggestion.

01:31:21.000 That, like, he has told Trump, I guess, so... You're banning the CBDC?

01:31:25.000 Yeah, CBDC, that's what it was.

01:31:27.000 And, you know, the day before he, like, talked to him about that, he announced that on the stage and made that part of his policy.

01:31:34.000 So I feel like someone, like, who could give him some more, you know, advice on things like that, that, you know, Trump might not know, and help craft policy on that type of stuff, would be more beneficial.

01:31:48.000 And Don Jr.

01:31:49.000 just had Vivek on his show, Triggered, on Rumble, two days ago.

01:31:53.000 I think it was two days ago, might have been yesterday.

01:31:56.000 It was great to see him together, but it was remote, and they were talking over each other just because of the digital delay, which was, you know, being in person.

01:32:03.000 I think, especially for Don Jr.

01:32:05.000 and Vivek, who are like high-powered speakers, having them try and get through it was, there were some rough moments.

01:32:11.000 But all in all, it looks like they're deep in communication with the guy.

01:32:14.000 I don't know if you need him to be VP to make him the next president.

01:32:16.000 Yeah.

01:32:17.000 Cause he could just be a loud, like Timmy you were saying he's a loud mouth, in a good way.

01:32:21.000 He likes to speak and speak a lot.

01:32:23.000 People are also chatting about, there's like a lot of videos of Ron eating.

01:32:23.000 He's in order.

01:32:26.000 Oh yeah.

01:32:27.000 Like a duck.

01:32:28.000 Yeah. 0.76

01:32:30.000 You know, it's like The Simpsons, where Frank Grimes is like, he eats like a pig.

01:32:34.000 He's like, eh, I'd say he eats more like a duck. 0.97

01:32:36.000 Pigs tend to chew.

01:32:37.000 And then it shows Homer, like, putting the donut in his mouth, and he's like... Just, like, sucking it down.

01:32:42.000 It's painful.

01:32:42.000 It's like Kasich.

01:32:43.000 People are posting a bunch of videos where Ron, like, will take a sandwich and just shove half the thing in his mouth.

01:32:48.000 But no, I don't say what the... I'm like, the dude's on the run.

01:32:51.000 Yeah.

01:32:52.000 Like, he's got to go, man.

01:32:53.000 I totally get it.

01:32:54.000 You hand me a cheeseburger, I'm gonna be like, I'm taking that thing down in two bites.

01:32:57.000 They do that stuff all the time.

01:32:58.000 Granted, I'm not running for office.

01:32:59.000 They do this stuff all the time.

01:33:00.000 It's like whenever, like every, you know, cycle or whatever, whoever's running, like they get bad pictures of them eating or whatever, you know, like sticking the one down the throat.

01:33:10.000 That's the Iowa State Fair trap.

01:33:12.000 Oh my gosh.

01:33:13.000 Yeah.

01:33:14.000 You got to chew your food.

01:33:16.000 The only reason I would ever really want to run for president is so that I could just go nuts on the whole system.

01:33:22.000 I would never actually want to run for president.

01:33:25.000 I don't want it all to be in politics, but if I feel like the country needs me or the world needs me, I feel like it's our duty as businessmen to go to that level next.

01:33:33.000 If there was ever a point where I could actually get on the debate stage and have a double-digit polling, but not win, I'd go for it.

01:33:41.000 And then it would just be the funniest thing ever.

01:33:43.000 I would show up to the Iowa State Fair and I'd buy five corn dogs and just eat them all at once.

01:33:49.000 I would take five of them and just be like, all right, everybody get the photo.

01:33:52.000 God, just jam it into my face.

01:33:54.000 And be like, I take so little of this seriously, like have at it.

01:33:58.000 But the thing is too, like it might actually backfire and end up working because it generates so much press attention.

01:34:03.000 Like Trump's first term.

01:34:04.000 Yeah.

01:34:04.000 How he was just saying all this crazy stuff and then they were just like, run it!

01:34:08.000 And then he ended up winning, getting $5 billion worth of free marketing.

01:34:12.000 There is like the argument like there that Trump was just trying to like actually do things that would Derail his campaign.

01:34:21.000 That was a really compelling argument.

01:34:23.000 Have you heard Michael Moore's argument?

01:34:25.000 Trump didn't want to be president.

01:34:26.000 He was upset that he didn't get a better rate on The Apprentice and it was, um, what's-her-face.

01:34:26.000 Yeah.

01:34:33.000 They paid, they paid, uh...

01:34:35.000 Gwen Stefani or something? 0.70

01:34:37.000 He said, some woman got paid more than him. 1.00

01:34:39.000 He got mad and said, why aren't I getting more for The Apprentice?

01:34:42.000 It's the best show.

01:34:42.000 And they said, because you're not as big as this person.

01:34:45.000 So he's like, okay, I'm gonna run for president.

01:34:48.000 Not gonna spend any money doing it, but that's gonna raise my profile and get me a better contract deal.

01:34:53.000 And then he accidentally won.

01:34:56.000 And while I don't believe that for a second, because Trump was planning on running for years, because he registered MAGA and stuff four years in advance.

01:35:03.000 But it is apparently true that when he did win, he was surprised.

01:35:07.000 And he was like, in his campaign office on election night, he was like, I won?

01:35:11.000 Watching that video of him like, I didn't think I was going to win.

01:35:16.000 As the votes are coming in.

01:35:17.000 He's like, oh man.

01:35:19.000 I mean, it's probably the reality there is that everyone said Hillary was going to win.

01:35:22.000 She had everything.

01:35:23.000 Trump was probably like, all right, well, you know, we shot our shot, right?

01:35:26.000 And then he won!

01:35:28.000 Oh, man.

01:35:28.000 Talk about good days.

01:35:29.000 Good days.

01:35:30.000 Can you believe I was almost 10 years ago?

01:35:31.000 Eight years ago?

01:35:32.000 That is actually nuts.

01:35:33.000 Eight years ago!

01:35:34.000 I remember that night.

01:35:34.000 That was nuts.

01:35:36.000 Oh, it was so much fun.

01:35:37.000 I'll never forget it.

01:35:38.000 You know, like 9-11, I will always remember exactly where I was and how it went down when Donald Trump won the presidency because it was one of the greatest nights of my life.

01:35:46.000 Where were you?

01:35:47.000 I was hanging out with Cassandra McDonald at the Sputnik office where she had worked and we were hanging out in DC.

01:35:47.000 What were you doing?

01:35:55.000 So I went up to the office and I was just sitting there with my feet up and I was like, cool, I'm not doing anything else.

01:36:01.000 And Cassandra was like the only person in the office who was pro-Trump.

01:36:06.000 All the other Sputnik people were Democrats.

01:36:09.000 And it was funny how snooty they were being and like smug.

01:36:13.000 And there was like an early report that the Trump campaign was planning to file, like launching a lawsuit against one of the states as the results were coming in.

01:36:20.000 And there was one guy was like, here he goes, like, this is what Trump's gonna do.

01:36:23.000 He's gonna lose.

01:36:24.000 But then we were watching the New York Times had that meter.

01:36:27.000 And it said, like, greater than 99% chance Hillary wins when it starts. 1.00

01:36:30.000 And then throughout the night, it started moving.

01:36:33.000 Then it got to 50%, and at that point, Cassandra's, like, tearing up.

01:36:36.000 And she's like, oh my god, I'm laughing my ass off.

01:36:40.000 And then it got all the way, like, started moving down.

01:36:42.000 The tears of all the people in the room as they're crying.

01:36:46.000 And then I'm just sitting there laughing a hearty laugh.

01:36:49.000 And I'm like, I didn't vote for the guy!

01:36:51.000 I just thought all of it was crack pottery.

01:36:54.000 And then he won, and I was like, good.

01:36:57.000 This is what you all deserve.

01:36:58.000 You have sat on your hands for so long and lied to the American people.

01:37:03.000 You voted for Barack Obama, and he blew up kids. 0.99

01:37:05.000 And now you have the nerve to come to me and say Hillary Clinton, who is Secretary of State, doing all this garbage, deserves to be president. 1.00

01:37:10.000 You earned this, man. 0.98

01:37:13.000 And I was just, I was loving it.

01:37:14.000 What a good day.

01:37:15.000 Yeah.

01:37:16.000 I was very much into Bernie and it was devastating what the DNC did to that guy's campaign.

01:37:20.000 Me too, me too.

01:37:21.000 I was a big Bernie fan and they did.

01:37:24.000 And so when it all came crashing down, another reason I was laughing is I'm like, y'all, y'all deserve it.

01:37:32.000 The DNC, listen man, people wanted Bernie.

01:37:35.000 He had a lot of grassroots support.

01:37:36.000 He should have won.

01:37:37.000 And when they ripped him off, people just got in line behind Hillary Clinton.

01:37:41.000 And the fact that it failed and blew up in their faces was so funny to me.

01:37:46.000 You deserve every moment of every ounce of pain, every smile Trump makes, every laugh he laughs.

01:37:55.000 You deserve every moment.

01:37:58.000 It was like a gut shot.

01:37:58.000 It was funny.

01:37:59.000 I don't know if you guys, do you remember the moment you found out when Trump won that election?

01:38:04.000 I was watching it live just like with my family.

01:38:04.000 What were you doing?

01:38:07.000 Well, I kind of knew once I saw Florida, like that, that was it, you know, that was it.

01:38:13.000 That was the, that was the moment that night where everyone went, wait a minute.

01:38:17.000 This went Trump, he's going to win.

01:38:20.000 I just remember that moment when the New York times needle went to the middle and said 50%.

01:38:24.000 And then I was like, he's going to win, isn't he?

01:38:28.000 Where were you doing Phil?

01:38:29.000 I was just at my place in New Hampshire.

01:38:31.000 Was it like 3 in the morning or something when the results came in?

01:38:34.000 When they actually called it, called it, or when he gave his victory speech.

01:38:37.000 But I think it was probably around midnight or something when it was like mathematically called on most networks.

01:38:43.000 What a shock!

01:38:44.000 You could actually pinpoint the moment at which Hillary Clinton's heart was ripped out.

01:38:48.000 No, I'm kidding.

01:38:49.000 That's a Simpsons joke.

01:38:50.000 But she didn't give a speech, right? 0.91

01:38:51.000 She just disappeared, I think.

01:38:52.000 No, she didn't give a speech. 0.98

01:38:53.000 Well, that's the thing.

01:38:54.000 So she didn't have a concession speech written is why she didn't give a speech. 1.00

01:38:59.000 Wow.

01:39:00.000 She was probably hitting people, screaming, like, how did this happen? 0.91

01:39:04.000 I've heard she was drunk. 0.82

01:39:05.000 Oh, she was hammered?

01:39:06.000 I heard that she had had a couple drinks before, and then once it started to go really bad, the drinks started to go.

01:39:14.000 She never showed up to the venue at all.

01:39:16.000 She didn't show up to her venue.

01:39:17.000 She didn't do a concession speech that night.

01:39:18.000 I heard it was because she got drunk and was yelling at people. 1.00

01:39:23.000 Putin doesn't drink.

01:39:24.000 I don't know if that matters.

01:39:26.000 World leaders getting trashed makes me nervous.

01:39:54.000 And Sleepy Joe.

01:39:55.000 There's also Unwoke, but I think Sleepy Joe is way better.

01:39:58.000 Yeah, yeah, you can drink it before bed.

01:40:01.000 Alright, let's grab some super chats, and YouTube's giving me the business for some reason, but I'll do my best. 0.98

01:40:07.000 Jerks.

01:40:09.000 Let's see, Josh-a-beam says, fourth! 0.84

01:40:12.000 In fact, sir, you were first.

01:40:14.000 But because you called it wrong, we're not gonna count it.

01:40:16.000 We're gonna give the first percent to Barely a Millennial. 0.81

01:40:18.000 No, I'm just kidding, you're first.

01:40:19.000 Barely a Millennial says, we had to put our American Eskimo dog, Nina, down today. 0.96

01:40:23.000 The best part of being a kid is not having to do the hard things. 0.97

01:40:26.000 That sucks. 0.68

01:40:26.000 Sorry to hear. 0.68

01:40:28.000 You're here.

01:40:28.000 Rest in peace.

01:40:31.000 Alright, Kane Abel says, Hey Tim, did you ever find out about that Texas Ranger vs. Fed thing?

01:40:34.000 Do we have any updates on that?

01:40:36.000 I wonder if that would be the new start of the next civil war.

01:40:39.000 History often rhymes.

01:40:40.000 The reason why I did bring it up, I didn't want to, I haven't tweeted about it or anything, is because if we can't verify who the person is, and if the husband's in law enforcement, can't get a statement on the record, we don't want to.

01:40:50.000 That being said, An individual called into a public show to thousands of people and said, this is a thing that is happening.

01:40:56.000 That much I think we will repeat.

01:40:59.000 And then I will clarify, we do not have any confirmation outside of this.

01:41:04.000 However, there are other individuals who are retired Texas troopers that probably have connections.

01:41:09.000 And it sounds rather reasonable that this is happening.

01:41:13.000 If you're working in law enforcement in Texas and you're being ordered to defy the federal government to their faces with guns, you may be concerned sooner or later a Fed's going to try to stop you.

01:41:23.000 We'll see.

01:41:26.000 All right.

01:41:27.000 Manipple says, second of all... Wait, was there a second of all?

01:41:30.000 Where will the new North Poles be? 1.00

01:41:33.000 Guys, go to Tenet Media on YouTube, subscribe, watch the Culture War podcast.

01:41:38.000 It is Fridays at 10 a.m.

01:41:40.000 live.

01:41:41.000 We put up clips on youtube.com slash TimCast, but we all redirect you over to our friends at Tenet Media.

01:41:46.000 It's a great little super group we got going on, and the show this morning was about a poll shift which may be occurring.

01:41:55.000 I don't know, I'm not a scientist, but the argument is That periodically throughout every 12,000 years or whatever, the poles shift.

01:42:04.000 This is a fact.

01:42:05.000 Here's a really interesting fact from the show.

01:42:08.000 Runways are being renamed because of the pole shift.

01:42:13.000 We name runways based off their position with the compass or whatever on the earth, but now that the poles are shifting, it's changing the names of these runways, because if you're flying, you're using your instruments to find runway with this name, if the name stayed the same, the compass would point in the wrong direction, and so it's like... But that's actually happening.

01:42:29.000 That's a fact.

01:42:29.000 You can find that on the US government website, where they're like, hey, the pole shift is happening rather rapidly.

01:42:35.000 And so the idea is that the Earth will tilt, and as it does, it wobbles, moves down, and then starts correcting.

01:42:43.000 The spin will stay the same, but the axis rotation, and I guess the argument is the poles are heavy right now, and so that'll cause it to wobble and then spin, but then correct itself and start spinning again, and I guess that would put Antarctica at the equator.

01:42:56.000 So it'll be the east and west pole?

01:42:59.000 No, the poles will be north and south.

01:43:00.000 But Antarctica will be on the equator, and that would put Florida on the south pole, I guess is the argument.

01:43:00.000 Okay.

01:43:08.000 Yeah, I mean, it makes sense that that would happen.

01:43:11.000 You know, I mean, I don't know about how fast it happens, and I don't know what would, you know... He said, he was saying like a week.

01:43:16.000 Oh, that would probably be... Like a matter of a day or so.

01:43:19.000 It happens rapidly.

01:43:20.000 This means that you'll be in Florida and you'll be like, oh, sunset's at 730.

01:43:24.000 And then sunset happens and then the sun never comes up because the earth tilted and now you're in the Antarctic Circle.

01:43:30.000 Oof.

01:43:31.000 Yeah.

01:43:32.000 Awful.

01:43:33.000 You're like, I'm cold now!

01:43:34.000 What's happening?

01:43:35.000 So one of the things he pointed out...

01:43:38.000 Is that we found woolly mammoths frozen with food still in their bellies, meaning they were flash frozen.

01:43:44.000 They were frozen nearly instantly.

01:43:46.000 And so he was pointing out like, or he was asking, what could cause a woolly mammoth to freeze so quickly that its food would be intact in its belly?

01:43:57.000 More the point.

01:43:58.000 Where did the food come from?

01:44:00.000 If the woolly mammoths were in this Arctic region or whatever, or, you know, minus 15, how were there vegetables around for it to eat?

01:44:09.000 What was it eating if its stomach is full of vegetation?

01:44:12.000 Yeah, the hypothesis is that it was in the equatorial area, and there was plenty of vegetation, and then that whole area flipped up north, and then that's where they were found.

01:44:20.000 Right, and so, well, this is what he's arguing.

01:44:22.000 I'm not a scientist, I don't know, but he's arguing that they're basically at the equator eating veggies.

01:44:27.000 Within a day, the Earth flips, and all of a sudden, they're in the Arctic Circle.

01:44:32.000 All the plant life is dead, and it's minus 15 instantly, and they just freeze.

01:44:37.000 They freeze to death almost instantly.

01:44:38.000 Nowhere to go, nowhere to stay warm, and there's no food, and they're just frozen.

01:44:42.000 And that could happen now.

01:44:43.000 That's what he's arguing.

01:44:44.000 Watch the show.

01:44:45.000 It was such a good show.

01:44:46.000 Yeah, watch the show.

01:44:47.000 Yeah, it was actually the largest live audience we've had on Tenet media.

01:44:50.000 Nice.

01:44:51.000 Not for the Culture War, but for the Tenet YouTube channel.

01:44:54.000 A lot of comments are like, this is the best one ever.

01:44:54.000 Oh, nice.

01:44:56.000 I sometimes I'll see those comments on certain shows, but it's nice to see that comment over and over on that episode.

01:45:01.000 It was great.

01:45:02.000 Dude, Ben Davidson and Jimmy Corsetti, superstars.

01:45:05.000 Wild show.

01:45:06.000 All right, Nicosia Connections says, Tim, please have Vinu Varghese on.

01:45:12.000 He's an attorney in New York City on the front lines.

01:45:14.000 His recent case is representing Dexter Taylor, who dared exercise the Second Amendment right in New York City, and 3D-printed firearms.

01:45:20.000 The culture war is on, even in New York City.

01:45:23.000 Great work to everyone at Timcast.

01:45:24.000 That would be a good guy to have on the Culture War show.

01:45:27.000 Culture War show is a better show for when we're doing one-on-one stories like that, and IRL is better when we're doing news commentary.

01:45:34.000 So there are a lot of people who will reach out and be like, I'd love to come on your show, and I'm like, we'll get someone who's a scientist and wants to come on Timcast IRL, but I'm like, we're not an interview podcast like Joe Rogan, we're a news commentary show, so we're looking for cultural and political junkies.

01:45:49.000 But that's why we decided to launch the Culture War Show, which you should subscribe to.

01:45:55.000 Alright, alright, let's grab some more superchats.

01:45:58.000 Jk says great culture war podcast earlier.

01:46:00.000 Thank you been watching both those guys as long as you you need to let all that expand Yeah, the fascinating thing about Ben He's not like He's not coming out and saying aliens and other crazy nonsense.

01:46:16.000 He was saying things like, well, one of the... I asked him, if the poles shifted and Antarctica is at the equator, will it melt?

01:46:22.000 And he says, not necessarily, because we have tropical glaciers right now that haven't melted and they've been there for thousands of years.

01:46:27.000 And I went, wait a minute, what?

01:46:29.000 I didn't know that.

01:46:30.000 Yes.

01:46:31.000 Tropical glaciers in like Indonesia, for instance, that are high altitude, they don't melt.

01:46:36.000 Exactly.

01:46:37.000 So they've been there for a very long time.

01:46:39.000 And I'm like, interesting.

01:46:40.000 So Antarctica could move to the equator. 0.53

01:46:43.000 There would be coastal melting, but the large ice formations may remain.

01:46:47.000 How high is the highest mountain in Antarctica, you know, or highest peak?

01:46:51.000 I don't know.

01:46:52.000 I was gonna say there'd be a huge land grab if it suddenly just became that way.

01:46:56.000 I mean, a lot would change, but all of Antarctica would be land, no?

01:47:00.000 Part of me thinks it would be the coolest thing ever if...

01:47:04.000 Antarctica was at the equator and just started melting and there's a new frontier.

01:47:08.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:47:09.000 But only if after the ice melted there was like an abandoned city.

01:47:13.000 Oh wow.

01:47:14.000 And we were like when all this ice melted we found Atlantis.

01:47:16.000 I was gonna say Atlantis.

01:47:18.000 The highest point of Antarctica is called Mount Vincent.

01:47:21.000 It's 16,000 feet high.

01:47:23.000 Oh, that's not much.

01:47:24.000 That's not super high.

01:47:25.000 That's like Utah.

01:47:26.000 Road Less Traveled says, if you're planning on going to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee or just a fan of history, look up Road Less Traveled Wisconsin for information about the little white schoolhouse in Rippon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the Republican Party.

01:47:40.000 Ah, very interesting.

01:47:43.000 Yeah, we are planning to be there for the RNC.

01:47:45.000 We've got some good plans coming.

01:47:49.000 Some good plans for the RNC.

01:47:53.000 All right, Greg Cutler says, Ian, I threw down $100 last year just to shout out Ben Davidson and the suspicious observers.

01:47:59.000 Glad to hear you got together.

01:48:00.000 I'll definitely watch it.

01:48:01.000 Dude, people keep telling me, you gotta get in touch with Ben, with Ben Davidson, you gotta get in touch with Ben Davidson, because I've been talking a lot about the Electric Universe Theory.

01:48:09.000 Dude, we were talking about that during these pole shifts and these geomagnetic phases that the moon can get pulled towards the Earth really fast and then pushed away, and the amount of like, Like, just torrential flooding, and like, because the moon sucks the waves, it'll like, make the waves get really tall when the moon's closer to the earth.

01:48:28.000 The catastrophe, the guy's just absolutely awesome.

01:48:30.000 I had no idea Suspicious Observers was as big as it is.

01:48:34.000 I've only been following him on Twitter, so it's really, really great to see.

01:48:38.000 M says, if the New York Times paper was to finally collapse, would we be happy or celebrate its end?

01:48:44.000 Just says people are celebrating the end of Sports Illustrated.

01:48:48.000 I'm torn.

01:48:49.000 Right.

01:48:50.000 But it's like, because it's been taken over by communists, we want it to be destroyed?

01:48:55.000 That's kind of a scary thought.

01:48:56.000 What if we took it over and made it run by, like, capitalists and pro-America people?

01:49:02.000 I like that.

01:49:03.000 Part of me likes the fact that the, you know, That the progressives have a place where they test out their ideas.

01:49:12.000 And that's kind of what I look at, like the Atlantic and New York Times.

01:49:17.000 Go to the op-eds.

01:49:18.000 Yeah, go to the op-eds and you can see all the terrible ideas the left has.

01:49:21.000 They're telegraphing all of them.

01:49:23.000 Go ahead.

01:49:24.000 No, no, finish.

01:49:25.000 Well, these ideas that they test in the opinion pages, these are what will eventually turn into policy.

01:49:31.000 You know, that's where the ideas come from.

01:49:32.000 What if tomorrow, the front page of the New York Times was all American flag backdrop, and the articles were all about the history of communism and why communism is bad?

01:49:41.000 I would subscribe.

01:49:42.000 That'd be great.

01:49:43.000 I would subscribe for a year, and I would deal with whatever they wanted to put out after that, I would deal with it.

01:49:48.000 Yeah, true.

01:49:49.000 They should do it.

01:49:50.000 You hear that, New York Times?

01:49:53.000 They'll never do it.

01:49:53.000 They were redwashing the Soviet Union while Stalin was killing people.

01:50:00.000 Yeah, true.

01:50:01.000 They're sympathetic.

01:50:02.000 The whole progressive project, the whole first half of the last century, people were lying for the Soviet Union because all the intelligentsia, all the academics thought that socialism was the future.

01:50:12.000 They thought it was a great idea and they all wanted the Soviet Union to actually work out and so they're all just lying for them.

01:50:17.000 The New York Times, they had horrible people that were just covering for Stalin.

01:50:21.000 It's awful.

01:50:22.000 J.W.

01:50:23.000 Dickinson says, I hope this is seen, you need to make a K-cup coffee pod sampler so people don't have to buy a full pack to find out if they like or hate it.

01:50:31.000 Good point.

01:50:32.000 That's a great idea.

01:50:34.000 Here's a funny one.

01:50:35.000 TheRealHydroPX says, you said this yesterday.

01:50:38.000 Are you an NPC?

01:50:39.000 Tim, do you just say things to look cool and be right or your insecurity?

01:50:44.000 Hydro, what you need to understand is as one of our biggest fans who watches every single episode.

01:50:50.000 Yeah, literally.

01:50:51.000 We know that the average person watches three episodes per month.

01:50:56.000 That's the average person.

01:50:57.000 And so that means somewhere around 60% of the individuals who watch TimCast IRL Don't hear and don't watch consecutive episodes.

01:51:07.000 So if I'm going to be talking about a subject and I ignore the core point of the subject, assuming someone's heard it, the chat will be flooded with, what are you talking about?

01:51:18.000 So we have to operate on a light assumption that the average person at any given moment on a show has not watched the show the previous day.

01:51:25.000 Yeah, it's similar to if you're talking about someone we all know and we're using first name basis.

01:51:30.000 We got to use their last name when we're on TV.

01:51:32.000 It's just something you got to be a little different when you have the cameras on and you're broadcasting.

01:51:36.000 I'll give you one example of how it's difficult to navigate esoteric subjects.

01:51:42.000 What we say on this show on a daily basis is an esoteric subject.

01:51:45.000 You don't know the subject of what we talked about unless you watch every episode.

01:51:49.000 When we had Vivek Ramaswamy on and we asked him about central bank digital currency, He did what many people do when discussing this.

01:51:59.000 The subject is so complicated that instead of saying, here's what blockchain is, here's what Bitcoin is, here's what cryptocurrencies are, central bank, instead of that, he goes, the problem with CBDC right away is that you've got a government, and I'm like, wait, wait, stop.

01:52:16.000 What is CBDC?

01:52:18.000 Oh, central bank digital currencies.

01:52:19.000 Anyway, the point is, no, no, no, stop.

01:52:21.000 What does that mean?

01:52:24.000 And so he says, I'm going to get to that.

01:52:26.000 And then he starts talking about blockchain.

01:52:27.000 I'm like, listen, people don't know what blockchain is.

01:52:32.000 I've, I deal with this all the time.

01:52:33.000 It's not, but what happens is someone who knows and pays attention to every show knows that what CBDC is.

01:52:41.000 So someone will come on this show as a guest and they'll say, well, I'm hoping Donald Trump calls out CBDC because we had a big problem.

01:52:46.000 And then 80% of viewers go.

01:52:49.000 I have no idea what he's talking about.

01:52:50.000 I've noticed that on shows, sometimes there's the experts, two experts talking at each other, and I just want to listen to them experts speak.

01:52:56.000 Even if I don't understand the words, I'm like, I'll figure it out later.

01:52:59.000 Go full expert nerd.

01:53:00.000 Don't assume, don't dumb it down.

01:53:02.000 Just go full expert.

01:53:03.000 But then other times, I'm like, I want to watch more of a show which explains to the general audience, like, labels, what they mean.

01:53:09.000 And I just, I kind of go back and forth.

01:53:11.000 There's different types of shows in that sense.

01:53:13.000 So you need to say something like, blockchain is a digital ledger, a book containing a list of transactions made by people who are exchanging something of value.

01:53:23.000 The digital currencies are essentially things you can have on the internet that represent value.

01:53:29.000 Really simple.

01:53:30.000 The government wants to create their own version that they would control.

01:53:34.000 That would be a bad thing because it gives them technological access to all currencies.

01:53:38.000 They can spy on you much more easily.

01:53:40.000 They can control what you buy much more easily.

01:53:42.000 They can ban you from stores or even from regions.

01:53:45.000 Right now, they can do these things through difficult measures with the federal government, court systems, freezing your bank accounts.

01:53:52.000 But with Central Bank Digital Currency, one day, you could get a notification that you are not allowed to buy things within 50 miles of Austin, Texas.

01:54:00.000 And they can easily control that with a CBDC.

01:54:04.000 It's less easy with the current financial system.

01:54:08.000 But social credit scores, all that stuff, it opens the door if they make that move.

01:54:11.000 So we say nope.

01:54:15.000 Alright!

01:54:17.000 Scrotty Johnson says, funny thing is Porsche is owned by VW, but VW's holding company is Porsche.

01:54:22.000 Literally a loop.

01:54:27.000 That's so crazy.

01:54:28.000 Very weird.

01:54:30.000 Limited liability schemes.

01:54:34.000 That's like corruption staring us in the face kind of behavior.

01:54:38.000 TeslaHack says, on the topic of the casino, and no one in charge, this Ian isn't correct, decentralization also decentralizes responsibility.

01:54:46.000 A web of interconnected systems is hard to hold accountable, unlike a singular leader.

01:54:51.000 That's a great point.

01:54:52.000 And that is the point I was dealing with.

01:54:54.000 If So if you're having a problem in one of these big casinos and there's no general manager, that's it.

01:55:02.000 Have a nice day.

01:55:03.000 There's nothing you can do.

01:55:05.000 So when I had an issue where a guy threatened to... So what happened was I was in the poker room at Hollywood Charlestown and they apologized to me.

01:55:14.000 Relentlessly over this.

01:55:15.000 But, uh, I will use the poker terminology for everybody, and if you don't understand, too bad!

01:55:20.000 I did what's called an Ace High Hero Call on an all-in.

01:55:26.000 Basically, we're playing poker, I'll simplify it.

01:55:28.000 The guy is making big bets.

01:55:30.000 I don't believe he's actually got a hand. 1.00

01:55:33.000 I think he's got garbage. 0.99

01:55:34.000 So I call his bets. 0.95

01:55:36.000 In the end, he pushes all of his money into the middle, basically saying, my hand is so good, I'm putting up $300.

01:55:43.000 You have to have $300 to call me out.

01:55:46.000 And I said, I call.

01:55:47.000 I throw the money in, and then I flip over Ace King off suit.

01:55:51.000 Not the best hand, but a pretty good hand.

01:55:53.000 And he- Is this all pre-flop?

01:55:55.000 No.

01:55:56.000 This is the river.

01:55:57.000 This is the end.

01:55:58.000 He bluffs all the way down, he looks at what I have, and he just has this look of shock, and then he throws his cards into the muck, meaning he just gets rid of them, and then they shove all the money to me, meaning...

01:56:10.000 I called him out.

01:56:11.000 He was surprised I called him out.

01:56:13.000 He got really angry, came back half an hour later and started threatening to hit me and beat me up and smack me and insulting me.

01:56:19.000 And that's a no-go at any casino in any poker room.

01:56:22.000 Instant perma-ban.

01:56:23.000 You go to any major casino.

01:56:25.000 And so I was like, can I get the floor over here? 0.98

01:56:26.000 Like, holy crap.

01:56:28.000 They didn't. 0.99

01:56:29.000 I asked for the floor several times.

01:56:30.000 Finally, I got up and I'm like, yo, what the?

01:56:33.000 Went to the guy who runs it and I said, this guy's threatening to attack me.

01:56:36.000 Can I get security?

01:56:37.000 Like, what's going on here, man? 0.87

01:56:39.000 He basically came over and said, chill out, shut up, and play the game.

01:56:42.000 So I said, okay, I want to speak to who's in charge.

01:56:45.000 There was no one in charge.

01:56:46.000 No one runs the show.

01:56:48.000 No one's in charge of security issues.

01:56:50.000 Security guards came over and said, I don't know.

01:56:52.000 What happened?

01:56:53.000 And I'm like, can you guys like watch the cameras and see him threatening to hit me and all stuff?

01:56:56.000 And they're like, I don't know.

01:56:59.000 And I was like, is there a boss or a manager of the casino who's in charge?

01:57:01.000 No.

01:57:02.000 Each individual space has their own authority and jurisdiction.

01:57:05.000 So if the guy who runs the poker room says, don't know, don't care, didn't see it.

01:57:08.000 The security guy says, I don't work for him, it doesn't work for me.

01:57:11.000 There's no other general managers.

01:57:13.000 It only got resolved like seven months later when a guy who watches the show and worked in the food department as a manager.

01:57:20.000 Asked me like, uh, so they, they had an, uh, there was a Republican event using the casino conference space and he was there and he was like, yeah, I hear you're a big fan.

01:57:29.000 I was like, not here anymore.

01:57:29.000 You play poker.

01:57:31.000 Not since that guy threatened to attack me and you guys did nothing.

01:57:33.000 He went, what?

01:57:34.000 I get a phone call right away from the casino host apologizing, saying they'll, they'll, they'll fix it.

01:57:38.000 And I said, fine, fine.

01:57:39.000 Uh, I am once again, boycotting them, however, because they stole $40 for me.

01:57:42.000 Wait, so the casino host is like the top dog over there?

01:57:45.000 He's a customer relations guy who wants to convince people to play the game.

01:57:49.000 So there's no boss.

01:57:51.000 That's gotta not be true.

01:57:52.000 I feel like they just lied to you.

01:57:53.000 Yeah, that's bizarre.

01:57:54.000 Yeah, there's no boss.

01:57:59.000 There's an owner.

01:58:00.000 Who do you call when you have a problem on Facebook?

01:58:03.000 Who's the manager you speak to at Facebook when you get banned?

01:58:05.000 There's nobody.

01:58:06.000 Yeah, there's none.

01:58:07.000 So, the whole system is decentralized.

01:58:09.000 There, of course, is someone who's in charge of the casino at perhaps like a regional level, but they're not in the building, and they're not there, and there's no phone.

01:58:15.000 You can't talk to them.

01:58:16.000 So the only way you get anything resolved is, first, this one's really important, if you guys are ever having problems with a major company and they're dicking you around, be rich.

01:58:26.000 Okay, now, after you're rich, it also helps to have two million followers on Twitter.

01:58:32.000 Okay, now that we've gone through that.

01:58:35.000 These companies will finally apologize to you, and this is the worst thing about our modern corporatist system, is that the only way to actually be treated fairly by these faceless, gigantic, disgusting machines is if you can wield influence against them, and it's sad. 0.80

01:58:49.000 It is pathetic that you would have to do something like that. 0.62

01:58:53.000 But you know what? 0.99

01:58:55.000 I suppose that's it. 0.98

01:58:56.000 Let them feel all the pain of treating their customized like garbage because sooner or later they treat the wrong person like garbage and then they have to deal with that.

01:59:03.000 That's why I'm drawn to mob rule because like I noticed that in 2006 with internet video like the amount of people I could amass to make a phone call to one person at a certain time I was like yo I can command the masses with this technology real easy and I wanted to.

01:59:18.000 But I also realized how dangerous that could be and that I'm corruptible.

01:59:21.000 And I was like, I got to just build systems that let people organize.

01:59:24.000 I can't try and be some cult leader pushing.

01:59:28.000 I mean, but then the argument is like, if you're up against corporations that are screwing the little guy, maybe you do need a cult leader to step up and command the forces, the people to go make calls and to show up here.

01:59:37.000 And I'm going to say this and all that.

01:59:39.000 I'm going to take this Friday opportunity to whinge a little bit, and on this point.

01:59:45.000 So I was at Maryland Live, which is at Arendelle Mills, big mall, shopping mall, and they have a casino, and this place knows customer service.

01:59:58.000 So there was a dispute we had over a bet on a table.

02:00:03.000 The supervisor on the floor was arguing with us.

02:00:06.000 I was getting perturbed.

02:00:08.000 Like, not angry, but I was like, look, we're trying to do this.

02:00:10.000 This is what we did.

02:00:11.000 You can't push our bet back, blah, blah, blah.

02:00:13.000 And then finally I went, okay, don't worry about it.

02:00:16.000 Make the bet.

02:00:18.000 No point in arguing.

02:00:19.000 Thank you for your patronage.

02:00:20.000 And I was like, oh, that was very nice of them.

02:00:22.000 At the same place, I was playing sick bow, which is a three die roll.

02:00:26.000 You make a bet on what the dice is going to be.

02:00:28.000 Very simple game.

02:00:29.000 And I accidentally put more than the max down.

02:00:32.000 And I lost.

02:00:33.000 And they went, Sir!

02:00:35.000 You bet too much!

02:00:35.000 And they gave me half my bet back.

02:00:38.000 Hollywood Casino Pen Entertainment?

02:00:41.000 It's like the gutter of casinos.

02:00:43.000 We were putting down, so this is why we're currently boycotting them, and this might be the final straw.

02:00:47.000 We were putting money down on craps.

02:00:49.000 It was Allison's turn to roll the die.

02:00:52.000 There were only three people at the table.

02:00:53.000 As she's putting the money down, they hand the die to the wrong guy, and he throws them, and the die hit the wall, and we're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, no roll, no roll, like we're still betting, and they're like, nope, your money's ours, and they pull our money.

02:01:03.000 And I was like, whoa, dude, stop.

02:01:05.000 You're out of turn, the wrong person threw, dead roll.

02:01:11.000 They said, no, if you don't like it, you can leave.

02:01:15.000 And then I said, if my $40 is worth that much to you, I will never come back to this casino.

02:01:19.000 And they said, it absolutely is your right to say that.

02:01:22.000 And I was like, okay.

02:01:24.000 So don't go to that place.

02:01:25.000 Don't go to Hollywood.

02:01:26.000 Penn Entertainment runs these things.

02:01:29.000 And I'll also say this too.

02:01:31.000 Look at what happened with Portnoy.

02:01:32.000 They booted Barstool Sports.

02:01:35.000 Penn bought Barstool, sold it back to Portnoy for a dollar.

02:01:38.000 He made like half a billion dollars on that deal.

02:01:41.000 Best deal in like the 21st century so far.

02:01:44.000 No, for real.

02:01:45.000 So, Portnoy sells Barstool Sports to Penn Entertainment for half a billion.

02:01:48.000 I think it was half a billion.

02:01:50.000 And then, not even a year later or whatever, they're like, we're gonna give you the whole thing back for a dollar.

02:01:54.000 Why?

02:01:55.000 Because it is the, like, dude.

02:01:57.000 But also, isn't that like fraud?

02:01:59.000 There's just like Portnoy getting free money. Yes, but that's got to be like fraud.

02:02:04.000 They, they, so apparently what was happening was David Portnoy has no problem calling people out

02:02:09.000 he disagrees with. There was an issue where Mincy, cool dude by the way, was rapping on a show and

02:02:15.000 said the n-word in a rap. They fired him.

02:02:18.000 Portnoy was like, that's BS.

02:02:19.000 I was pissed.

02:02:20.000 I'm like, come on, dude.

02:02:21.000 Mincy's a good guy.

02:02:22.000 He was just rapping a song.

02:02:24.000 They fired him.

02:02:25.000 Dave is a good dude.

02:02:26.000 Gave Mincy a job at his watch company.

02:02:29.000 He had his back.

02:02:29.000 I tremendously respect that.

02:02:32.000 Barstool was freaking out because they were like, we are going to get denied gaming licenses in states because of hate speech and things like that.

02:02:40.000 So Barstool was too edgy.

02:02:42.000 So I don't know exactly what happened, but what I imagine is they went to Dave and said, will you buy back Barstool?

02:02:47.000 And he was like, no.

02:02:49.000 And they were like, we are losing gaming licenses over this.

02:02:52.000 We can't have the brand attached to us anymore.

02:02:53.000 And he was like, too bad, you bought it.

02:02:55.000 And they were like, will you buy it back for this rate?

02:02:57.000 No.

02:02:57.000 Will you buy it back for this?

02:02:58.000 No.

02:02:59.000 Can we give it to you?

02:03:00.000 Okay.

02:03:02.000 That's probably what happened.

02:03:03.000 I don't know for sure, but he bought it back for $1.

02:03:05.000 He got all the money.

02:03:06.000 He owns the company.

02:03:07.000 He hired Mincy back.

02:03:08.000 Bravo, dude.

02:03:09.000 Penn Entertainment Hollywood casinos are the worst run establishments I have ever been to!

02:03:14.000 So, anyway.

02:03:16.000 We're gonna go play in the snow.

02:03:19.000 There's a crap ton of snow out there.

02:04:40.000 Don't forget, the left lane is for crime.

02:04:45.000 For crying?

02:04:46.000 Crime. 0.98

02:04:47.000 You know that saying, they say, be gay, do crime? 0.99

02:04:49.000 Yeah. 0.98

02:04:50.000 The opposite of that is, don't be gay, don't do crime. 0.97

02:04:52.000 Yeah. 0.97

02:04:53.000 But I think that generally you shouldn't be gay or do crime.
