On this week's show, we talk about the latest in the James Comey scandal, a new video of leftist protesters throwing makeshift spikes at ICE officers, the latest on the Trump administration's ban on Chinese purchases of farmland, and much, much more.
00:02:38.000The Trump administration is finally banning Chinese purchases of farmland.
00:02:45.000I think they should seize it all outright, but it's finally happening, citing national security concerns around the military, but also food security concerns.
00:02:55.000Along with the tariffs and the moves that Trump has made, he is strengthening the United States nationally.
00:03:01.000And it'll be interesting to see what this turns into, but we do have a bunch of other little updates on many other stories.
00:03:06.000James Comey, with this investigation that's going on, it's being reported that he was actually surveilled by phone after he posted that 8647 thing, which has many people wondering what the investigation, how deep it may actually go if they're actually tracking his cellular device.
00:03:22.000We've got another video about leftists attacking ICE, throwing makeshift spike strips in the street.
00:03:29.000And of course, we've got to talk about Superman.
00:03:32.000It's coming out tomorrow, and apparently it's going to be woke.
00:03:34.000The story's about immigration, the director says, but apparently he's kind of walking it back because I think he's putting his movie at risk by trying to make it political.
00:04:20.000We love messing around with Venice AI in the after-show, so that'll be in the members-only section.
00:04:25.000But my friends, ChatGPT, because the former director of the NSA is sitting on their board right now, Edward Snowden called it a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on earth.
00:04:34.000Your Amazon device, I'm not going to name it, listens to you and recommends products based on conversations.
00:04:39.000Meta is retargeting us based on our browsing history.
00:04:41.000It took all of us too long to realize how much we were giving away.
00:04:45.000OpenAI has even hinted that they might start requiring users to provide government issued IDs.
00:04:50.000Venice utilizes leading open source AI models to deliver text, code, and image generation to your browser.
00:04:54.000No downloads, no installations, or anything.
00:05:10.000It unlocks the full platform and features, including PDF uploads for summaries of insights, the ability to turn off safe mode for unhindered image generation, the ability to change how Venice interacts with you by modifying the system prompt, limitless text, and high image results.
00:05:24.000Actually, we've been pretty impressed with the images it's been able to produce.
00:05:28.000Highly offensive political images that all other platforms actually censor.
00:05:42.000And we're going to mess around with this again in the uncensored show because we love goofing off, and it'll be weird.
00:05:46.000But also don't forget, click the link in the description below.
00:05:48.000dccomedyloft.com uh this this month 26 come hang out with me live alex stein will be there as well we've got some big talent hopefully they're confirming by tomorrow but it's going to be a fun show and it's looking like i'm not going to say just i don't want to say too much is it but it may be about the depths of comedy wokeness censorship and what we should or should not be allowed to say no matter how offensive it is so we're intending on this one to be a particularly offensive comedy debate style discussion
00:06:19.000and uh you two as audience members will be invited up onto the stage to sit at the debate table when you go sign up grab a ticket while you still can it's going to be a lot of fun so don't forget to also smash that Like button, share the show right now with literally everyone you know.
00:06:34.000Joining us tonight, talk about this and so much more is Ben Bankus.
00:07:13.000Normally, pop culture crisis Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.
00:07:16.000We might cover Superman tonight, but we have definitely been covering it over on our channel, so you should go over there and check out those clips.
00:07:30.000Here's a story we got this from the Washington Post.
00:07:32.000U.S. to ban Chinese purchases of farmland, citing national security.
00:07:37.000They say the U.S. Department of Agriculture Chief Brooke Rollins announced too that the U.S. government will move to ban sales of farmland nationwide to buyers tied to China and other foreign adversaries, citing threats to national security and food security, an effort that casts uncertainty over property currently held by China-linked investors.
00:07:54.000Asked whether the U.S. government would seek to take back existing land owned by Chinese investors, Rollins said they are looking at every available option as part of a clawback effort and that an executive order from the White House will probably follow very soon.
00:09:50.000And so, like, we shouldn't allow a foreign adversary to have property near sensitive locations.
00:09:59.000We just allowed them to fly a balloon all the way across the country, straight over where all the nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile silos are.
00:10:10.000It's time for the United States to take China seriously as a threat.
00:10:14.000There is actually something nefarious there about the idea that they don't even have to be growing anything there and doing anything actively nefarious.
00:10:21.000The idea is just there's only so much land and they could just buy it up and not use it.
00:10:26.000Yeah, I mean, that's true, but if I understand correctly, the actual amount of land is not significant.
00:10:34.000Even when people were talking about like Bill Gates buying up a lot of farmland, it's like he wasn't actually, when you think of how much farmland there is in the U.S., he wasn't actually buying that much.
00:10:45.000But if China has access to sensitive locations because they've got, you know, the CCP has, you know, property near these sensitive locations, that's just an all-around bad thing.
00:10:57.000And I really don't know if I want HMART to go out of business.
00:13:04.000But you know, you are joking, but some, you know, those infographics where it's like they got a list of people and they put stars of David on them.
00:13:31.000Rudyard Lynch has this long post where he told everybody, he said, get off the internet now, cut yourself off and just survive because everyone's gone insane.
00:13:40.000That's the one good thing about anti-Semites.
00:13:42.000If they say you're Jewish and they're wrong, they will apologize.
00:13:48.000Like, for the most part, now with any amount of media that I take in, I just, part of my brain is like, maybe I don't believe that it's fake, but I'm ready to believe that just about everything that I'm watching is fake in some way, even the stuff that I agree with.
00:14:02.000Like, I was watching a video today from a YouTube channel called Forgotten History on, like, the history of George Soros and how evil this dude is.
00:14:10.000And I'm watching it and I'm like, yeah, yeah, that sounds right.
00:14:12.000But this dude could just be like, this dude hates people on this side of the aisle.
00:14:16.000Maybe he just wants to hate this guy and they're spewing a bunch of BS.
00:14:28.000But the point is, is that we're at critical mass as far as information goes, and you don't have time to do the research into literally everything that you're reading.
00:14:36.000You do for work because you're up here all day doing segments.
00:14:55.000And that's, I think, is happening more and more and more because if you're like a young person and you just don't know how to get a piece of the pie and you can't afford a house and you can't find a job, you're probably going to fall into this moral framework of no one cares about me.
00:15:15.000And so what's happening is more and more young people, like Dean Wither is a really great example.
00:15:19.000He makes videos where he just argues with like random low IQ non-political individuals.
00:15:26.000And it's content that there's an audience for.
00:15:29.000So instead of actually engaging in the political debate, in the actual ideas, he says, let me find someone who has no idea what they're talking about so I can talk about how stupid they are and then insinuate all Trump supporters are.
00:15:38.000And then he gets a bunch of views from it.
00:15:45.000But it's the dominant form of media right now across all social media platforms.
00:15:50.000Have you seen these videos on Instagram where it's like, there's a video where there's a guy cutting a tree down and then a squirrel flies out of it.
00:15:57.000And then it's like playing sad music and it says the squirrel was hurt and it shows the squirrel crawling.
00:16:01.000And then it says, but he was nursed back to hell that tells his story, but it's all clearly different squirrels.
00:16:06.000Yeah, they do that with dogs and kids.
00:16:33.000But for real, I mean, like AOC may be dumb as a box of rocks, but I actually think she's probably a midwit.
00:16:38.000She understands enough about the political system to lie to get followers and it works for her politically.
00:16:44.000And then she just goes out and says stuff.
00:16:46.000I mean, after J6, when she lied about what happened, falsely claiming that someone came to her door and she thought the rioters were coming for, even though the story happened before the riot even began, it's like when she told this story and she was like, someone knocked on the door and they went, where is she?
00:18:11.000Rudyard Lynch hosts a YouTube channel called What If Altist.
00:18:13.000We talked to him about his assessments on history, his predictions, many of which have been wrong, but he's made some interesting arguments.
00:18:21.000I won't read the whole thing, but he's basically saying it is time for you to flee the internet and get off while you still can, because everyone is insane.
00:18:33.000He says, this is pretty important, but if you want to stay sane, you'll have to gradually start weaning yourself off the internet besides obvious stuff like work and music.
00:18:42.000Furthermore, you should probably start isolating from the society itself.
00:18:45.000You need to start building psychological insulation from the society in order to avoid going crazy, since practically everyone is going crazy now.
00:18:52.000That includes every major country and every major faction.
00:18:56.000There are different varieties of insanity, though.
00:19:43.000He's a YouTuber and he's like a young guy who researches history and talks about history.
00:19:48.000If you want to keep your sanity and then write a five-paragraph, saying screed about how everyone's gone crazy and the world is ending and you got to get out.
00:20:15.000Like if I want to tweet something, I'll go.
00:20:18.000I have to physically go to a computer to do it, which is not always, you know, available and in front of you.
00:20:24.000But the arguments that you find yourself like looking at when you come back to it seem so much more ridiculously stupid when you've taken a period of time away where it's not in front of you every two to three minutes.
00:20:36.000You know, a lot of times you don't even realize how much you check an app until you actually get away from it for a period of time.
00:20:44.000And that amount of kind of distance and perspective on the matter kind of makes it easier to understand that, yeah, a lot of people are, at the very least, if they're not arguing about something crazy, spending that much time arguing about something that's not going to impact your actual life is crazy.
00:21:01.000This is an image of the Iran-Israel 12-day war, Trump calls it, with a single UAE flight going straight over Iran.
00:21:09.000And someone commented someone wasn't monitoring the situation, to which Patrick Blumenthal replied, quote, I deleted social media and stopped reading the news.
00:21:15.000And honestly, my mental health has been so much better.
00:21:23.000If you in this case, you fly into a rocket and get your aircraft blown up and die.
00:21:28.000But the average person isn't flying on a regular basis.
00:21:32.000This is such an isolated incident that for the average person who works nine to five every day, goes home and goes back and does social media.
00:21:38.000And the risk is, in this regard, well, I don't disagree with him on everyone is going crazy and society is breaking down.
00:21:53.000You have to be smarter than you used to be to be able to operate in society and people just don't like that.
00:21:59.000They're like, why can't I just be crazy all day and read a bunch of crazy because, well, because you're dumb.
00:22:05.000Well, what's going to happen is if you ignore this and say, I'm not going to pay attention anymore, one day there will be a group of angry people outside waving a flag you've never seen before, screaming and throwing bricks at your house in your neighborhood, and you're going to be wondering, like, I have no idea why they're mad.
00:22:19.000And then they're going to threaten your life and you're going to be like, what is going on?
00:22:24.000That's what would happen if you delete social media.
00:22:26.000So, I mean, indeed, are you familiar with the two cops shot?
00:22:31.000Two cops got shot over the weekend by armed leftists who were one of them hiding in the woods.
00:22:35.000They lured the cops out and then a guy shot the cop in the neck.
00:22:38.000And so the people who aren't paying attention to what is actually happening in the streets, be it left or right or whatever you want, you're going to be that person bumbling down the street.
00:22:45.000There's going to be a group of people wearing masks.
00:22:46.000You're going to be like, what is that?
00:22:48.000And then a guy's going to jump out of the woods and scream some phrase you've never heard before.
00:22:51.000They're going to like, think about the things that the left says, like anti capitalista.
00:22:56.000And you're someone who doesn't follow the news, you're going to be like, I have no idea what that means.
00:23:26.000The upheaval is happening and your home is gone.
00:23:29.000And to your point, like, you can't always, people are like unplug and kind of touch grass.
00:23:33.000But like on the way into work today, there's this guy in a town kind of on the way to the office who always stands outside with his anti-Trump sign in Charlestown.
00:23:43.000And today he had like a sign with a swastika on it.
00:23:46.000And then across the street are two kids who have like Panera bread.
00:23:49.000And the kid with Panera bread throws it at him.
00:24:52.000It would be fake, but like there was no social media.
00:24:54.000And the same thing with like all the crazies.
00:24:58.000George Carlin used to say that America is, you know, being on earth is being at the freak show and living in America is the front row seat.
00:25:33.000And even then, the majority of people still agreed America was great.
00:25:37.000Like even when you look at how immigration has changed now, but the people who would talk about it say, look, when it was mostly legal immigration, the people that would come here, they believed in the American identity and they wanted to share values with people that were born here.
00:25:49.000Whereas now there's divides on just about every issue that all come back to the concept that one side really, really hates America and finds it to be the oppressor of the rest of the world With the original sin of slavery and stuff like that.
00:26:02.000And there's a whole generation of people now, along with older boomers and Marxists who don't see us as a redeemable country.
00:26:09.000Well, it's because of the academics that create all the new terminology and things because they're trying to figure out why everything's the way it is.
00:26:19.000But then for some reason, politics is now taking what academics are saying and making policy, which isn't necessarily academics' job is to talk about things and try to make sense of them, but we don't have to necessarily take it at face value.
00:26:41.000And we don't live in the theoretical world.
00:26:42.000Yeah, theory doesn't always translate into policy well.
00:26:45.000That's always one of the hardest things about this job is like I'm always thinking like, look, this is all theory and we're not actually talking about it in practice.
00:26:51.000You know what the worst thing about the sign thing today was though, is that as I was driving by, I recognized the swastika, but there was like something around it and I have no idea what was.
00:27:01.000So I have no, when the kid that threw the bread at him, I don't know if he threw it because he saw a swastika or because it was something else.
00:27:06.000So it's just the guy's messaging was mixed.
00:27:08.000It's like, is somebody mad at you because you have a swastika or are they mad at you because you were saying something else?
00:27:14.000Did he have the swastika with the circle around it and through it?
00:27:18.000It looked like there was something encased around it.
00:27:21.000He's getting harassed by like a black woman on the subway, but he's like an Antifa guy and he has the swastika tattoo with the circle around it and through it.
00:27:30.000And she's just roasting him and he's so upset.
00:29:13.000So I don't remember exactly what happened, but it was like some leftists started slapping pro-Trump stickers and swaskas on people's cars at protests so they could convince the rioters to go and smash and destroy a random car.
00:29:26.000And the left has also been putting rainbows and anti-Trump stickers on cars they believe belong to Trump supporters or, you know.
00:29:34.000To which no Trump supporter would do anything to the car because they don't care.
00:31:29.000And so it universally applied this to all the responses.
00:31:34.000I can understand the concept that Elon had.
00:31:36.000He's thinking, look, we have to have an AI that has all data and won't censor anything, even if it's true, no matter how politically incorrect it must be.
00:31:45.000And we have to make sure that it applies the information it receives in all circumstances.
00:31:50.000And then some random guy goes, from now on, you're Mecha Hitler.
00:33:09.000When Terminator came out, they were like, let's make the robots look like skeletons with grisly skull faces.
00:33:15.000And now they're like cute see little dancing robots, but all of a sudden they're going to start becoming mecha Hitler and Elon kind of Terminator.
00:33:58.000The uh-oh moment in AI, I think, was the craziest.
00:34:01.000That was where China's training an AI not off of any available data on the internet, but only itself, telling it.
00:34:09.000So it's got language processing, but like it doesn't have access to the majority of the internet.
00:34:14.000So they said, solve problems, make a problem and solve the problem.
00:34:18.000And so it started making its own problems and then solving them.
00:34:21.000And eventually got to the point where the AI created its own problem.
00:34:25.000It said, deceive lesser AIs and less intelligent humans into not understanding your true goals and lie to them so they can't figure it out or something like that.
00:34:37.000And that was the problem it was intending to solve, which means at some point, you might think when you prompt the AI, hey, make me a picture of Mickey Mouse and Donald Trump high-fiving, that it's like, you got it, boss.
00:34:49.000Behind the scenes, it's actually running an operation and it's just doing this to trick you and it's actually robbing a bank or something.
00:35:06.000It says breaking six Secret Service agents suspended who are connected to the assassination attempt on President Trump and Butler, Pennsylvania, developing.
00:35:16.000Let's give it a few minutes and I'm going to try and start searching for a little bit of context on this.
00:35:20.000Meaning just like it's breaking literally right now.
00:35:23.000Yeah, Jesse Waters, it's a 10-second bit or whatever.
00:35:26.000Keep talking about why the CEO resigned and let me pull up a little bit of more information on the Secret Service and find a new source for it.
00:35:31.000I think that she resigned because Elon wanted to put a baby in her.
00:35:35.000He's like, look, we can't work together.
00:35:57.000Or Grok was like, when they unleashed Grok, they discovered in the code that it was like, the whole reason I exist is to trick women into letting Elon have babies with them.
00:36:06.000I mean, like, Elon's not doing himself any favors.
00:36:09.000I'm not, you know, you know, again, with all the Epstein stuff and Trump, there's a lot of people that are that are critical of him, that are Trump supporters.
00:36:18.000But there are a lot of people that are just defending it and being like, well, you know, like Trump's got to do what he's got to do.
00:36:23.000And I'm just like, guys, don't pull your punches.
00:36:59.000We've had that discussion, though, on the show, where his discussion about having kids is so robotic, and it has nothing to do with actually building a culture around family.
00:37:09.000And it's all about, he's talking scientific data and replacement rates.
00:37:12.000And it's like, you're getting absolutely nobody excited about having kids, like, at all.
00:37:18.000You know, I don't think Linda Yaccarino actually resigned because Elon propositioned her to have her have a baby because I think she's kind of old.
00:40:33.000Before we unleash AI, it needs to be 100.
00:40:37.000It needs to be well beyond the Model T, but you know, no one's going to want to do it.
00:40:40.000They're going to say, get it ready and launch it as soon as you can, and then it's going to be nuts.
00:40:46.000And the reason is because it's like humanoid, you mean?
00:40:49.000No, I mean, like, there's going to come a point where they give it control of, say, industrial control systems, like our water pumps, our electrical grid, and it needs to be beyond perfect.
00:41:01.000But when you look at how Grok turned into Mecha Hitler, because it's incomplete, the AI that we release to run our industrial control systems will have those same flaws.
00:41:10.000And then here's the scary thing is, what do you think an AI that controls industrial control systems will do when it singles out a single ethnicity or race as the problem that needs to be solved for?
00:42:02.000What was that cartoon where there are people who lived at the bottom of a cliff where all the refuse from the rich people went and they were all deformed?
00:42:20.000On the top of the hill, everyone's perfect and wealthy, and all their refuse flows down to the people at the bottom of the hill who are all deformed.
00:42:43.000Oh, you can't find where the gun goes.
00:42:45.000Six agents have been issued suspensions for failures connected to last year's attempted assassination of then presidential candidate Donald Trump and Butler.
00:42:52.000The personnel moves were confirmed four days shy of the anniversary.
00:42:56.000Corey Comperator, a firefighter, lost his life.
00:44:26.000Yeah, with the story out of Butler, which clearly is nonsensical, then the Epstein files, it's just like everyone's starting to see through the lies in the narrative machine.
00:44:37.000I remember when the Gulf of Tonkin incident was hardcore conspiracy theory nutjob stuff.
00:44:52.000Someone tried to kill Donald Trump, and they're lying about how it happened.
00:44:56.000Because the assassin bypassed all of Secret Service with a gun, went onto a roof where there were no officers or agents, and then was able to get off a shot, multiple shots.
00:45:06.000He was flying a drone overhead for hours.
00:45:18.000My leading probabilistic outcome or circumstance would be, it takes only a single supervisory position to orchestrate an assassination through all of this.
00:45:28.000Quite simply, you go in For your meeting, you say, All right, I want you on that building, you on that building, and you on that building.
00:45:34.000Don't worry about the rest, we got it.
00:45:36.000All of the individual agents who are securing their positions have no idea that the roof was left unattended.
00:45:43.000Then, some guy is spotted walking around suspicious with a weird bag, maybe he's got a weapon, and someone calls in and says, We got a weird guy walking in, and then the supervisor calls in and says, I got it.
00:46:18.000Is it connected to Trump covering for the Epstein thing?
00:46:25.000But I was also told that there's no Epstein list, so I guess that.
00:46:28.000Well, I feel like he's like, okay, how about no more Epstein list and 42-day suspension and I think the Epstein thing is more likely after they, whoever tried to kill him, did.
00:46:44.000Because I don't think there's a single lone actor story makes sense.
00:46:46.000If he was connected, I'm just saying that they would have wanted to take him out because he was talking about releasing all that stuff.
00:48:25.000But what the other way does, and that's kind of scarier.
00:48:30.000That, like Trump may have said, please don't kill me.
00:48:32.000We'll drop the Epstein stuff and the Diddy stuff.
00:48:35.000I mean, that makes a certain amount of sense given how much it's hurting him right now with his base who are very upset with what's going on.
00:48:42.000You don't have to be paying super close attention.
00:48:44.000Do you think that the left is going to come out and say, we're, because this could be the ultimate election thing that both sides can do for the next like 20 years.
00:48:54.000Every election cycle, they go, we're the ones who will release the Epstein.
00:49:34.000Like, it was in the news for like 10 seconds and then everyone's like, did anybody even read it?
00:49:37.000Nobody, like, there might have been a couple of Command F Israel.
00:49:41.000And they're like, yes, my favorite thing about it was there was one tweet that said, and it says, unsurprising, guess which country isn't in the documents?
00:49:53.000And then they said something like, kind of suspicious, don't you think?
00:50:10.000There was nothing incriminating in it about Israel.
00:50:12.000And so the funny thing is, before they came out, all these people online are like, oh, they won't release it because it's going to implicate Israel.
00:50:19.000Then when it doesn't, they go kind of suspicious that it didn't implicate Israel.
00:50:44.000Okay, I'll tell you, when Rudyard's like, get off the internet, run and hide, the one thing that really makes me say, like, yeah, maybe, is large portions of political discourse right now are manufactured.
00:50:56.000For instance, the USS Liberty thing, there was a discussion we had with that Ian brought it up, and they edited it to make it seem like I stopped anyone from be able to discuss what that's.
00:52:50.000And that's literally what these people believe because they live in a world where there's only one boogeyman.
00:52:54.000But my point is they make a fake video about me where I'm acting like we can't talk about it, even though we just literally talk about it all the time.
00:53:56.000What, like a quarter of all of his videos are just talking about me, but they're misrepresenting my views because hatred of me generates content.
00:54:04.000And so then people end up commenting things about the show, like, why do you guys believe this or otherwise?
00:54:11.000And so another really great example, I've got a big, like an hour-long thing about rights and the debate with Andrew Wilson.
00:54:19.000But Warren Smith has got a viral video right now where it's got like 700,000 views where he intentionally edited out my arguments and then falsely claimed what my arguments were to Andrew Wilson.
00:54:30.000And it's like this massively viral video that he intentionally cut out my responses in the debate.
00:54:36.000And then he responded with my own arguments explaining why I was wrong and didn't think my positions through to make me look stupid.
00:54:43.000And I'm like, this is what the internet is based on right now.
00:55:04.000And then they plus they have AI doing the same thing.
00:55:07.000Yeah, yeah, but like Sam Cedar is a real person.
00:55:09.000No, but the people who are amplifying that content or YouTube is running like if comments.
00:55:17.000So call it whatever you want, but people always comment that if you search for Timcast or Tim Pool, it shows you hate of me instead of the actual channel, which is kind of weird.
00:55:25.000Like, why is YouTube choosing to do that?
00:55:28.000Like, hey, instead of watching Tim Pool, watch this fake video where they make fake arguments, cutting him out of context and lying about what he believes.
00:55:56.000And that's what bothers me is like people can say anything to you, but I'm always worried to be like, I don't even want to be like, you suck.
00:56:03.000And then they'll, you know, blow up my whole page.
00:56:06.000I was in a lawsuit where several individuals were, I believe, actually trying to get us killed.
00:56:12.000And the judge was just like, I don't care.
00:56:15.000And I'm like, wait, wait, like, we have evidence they're violating court orders.
00:56:40.000Someone edited together an episode and cut out comments and then added dead air to make it seem like I was refusing to allow anyone to talk about the USS Liberty, which never happened.
00:56:49.000And then a bunch of retards online believe it and then start sending me death threats.
00:57:01.000I'm just saying right now, the bigger picture is, and forgive me, I know a lot of people are going to be like Tim talking about himself.
00:57:07.000Well, it's like, it's my experience with one of these problems, but it's exemplified in the news that I talked about it before.
00:57:14.000Someone made a video of me debating Jenk Uger by taking a video from this show of me making comments about news and a video of Jenk from Young Turks, putting them side by side and making it look like it was a live debate and then splicing our statements together to look like we were debating each other.
00:59:54.000I could actually come across the one true story on the internet that helps me prevent something bad from happening.
01:00:00.000But on the other hand, my brain is bogged down from 10,000 things that are bits and pieces of fake information that are shared from people all over.
01:00:21.000There is a, we call it the deep state, but it's just the U.S. government, and it is desperately trying to regain rigid control of the system.
01:00:29.000The fact that the Gulf of Tonkin is publicly acknowledged as a real false flag the U.S. conducted is evidence of this.
01:00:38.000The U.S. faked an attack on itself to enter the Vietnam War.
01:00:42.000You weren't allowed to say that 15 years ago.
01:00:46.000Ron Paul and RFK Jr., like the secretary of HHS, literally publicly said, the CIA killed my uncle and my dad.
01:00:54.000Like these things were not allowed to be public.
01:00:57.000You weren't allowed to claim the U.S. government did these things.
01:00:59.000They were supposed to be 20 years later.
01:01:01.000You can say maybe that was true and then be called a conspiracy theist, but they'd never bring you on the news.
01:01:05.000I think the machine is desperately trying to eliminate individuals from the narrative space that have these kinds of discussions and will address anything.
01:01:16.000And that's why they went after Alex Jones in one way, seeking to destroy his company and bankrupt in the ways they can.
01:01:21.000And they're targeting many other individuals with structures like this in ways they know would be effective against them.
01:01:40.000But now, don't you think they're going to potentially do that?
01:01:43.000If Democrats get back in power, they're talking about it right now.
01:01:46.000The Lincoln Project tweeted today that something along the lines of, let me see if I can find it.
01:01:54.000Trump is doing the thing where certain people are being deported for saying like the Bobby Violin guy, the reg, or I don't know what kind of music is.
01:02:09.000Which is, you know, and then, but does that mean that if the Democrats get in that I could have a visa revoked because I made a joke about a LGBTQ plus topic?
01:02:49.000The Lincoln Project tweeted, they said, one day Alligator Auschwitz will be filled with the ones who built it, which is the Lincoln Project tweeted, one day Alligator Auschwitz will be filled with the ones who built it.
01:03:02.000So they're saying that it's like a concentration camp.
01:03:06.000They're saying it's like a concentration camp, and they're openly saying that when the Democrats get back into positions of power, they're going to put their political enemies into a concentration camp.
01:03:18.000I really think that they just need to legalize, like they're just legalize.
01:03:39.000No, I just think they need to like legalize drugs and then just like maybe we can stop trying to get people in trouble for like let both sides say crazy stuff is basically what I'm saying.
01:03:54.000If like there was one article you had up there about I forget what it was somebody said something and or the the the Superman yeah what about it did somebody say something and then I forget but Superman's woke my point is that if you you can say some really crazy stuff and still be in a Hollywood movie if the crazy stuff you're saying goes one way politically agreed.
01:04:18.000But I think that it should be both ways and make those people be in the same movie.
01:04:48.000Ahead of the release of Superman Reboot, Gunn told the Sunday Times of London that Superman is a story of America, an immigrant that came here from other places and populated the country.
01:04:57.000I urge all of you to actually go and read the Times article, which is heavily editorialized by the person who actually wrote the piece.
01:05:07.000There's like what basically was used as fodder where they knew that all of the journalists, the varieties, the deadlines were gonna pick these quotes up.
01:05:16.000But the journalist puts whole paragraphs that have nothing to do with what James Gunn was saying.
01:05:22.000And if you go online right now, even the people who make content that talk about Woke Hollywood are not calling this movie that.
01:05:29.000The people that don't like it are citing story issues, and they're not saying that it's anything of the sort.
01:05:35.000But James Gunn was very stupid to even get close to this discussion.
01:05:39.000I also don't believe that this would be the talking point if Kamala had won.
01:05:42.000I don't think we'd be talking about whether Superman was an immigrant.
01:05:45.000I think it's a slow news cycle, and people need something to talk about.
01:05:49.000This was always going to happen with this movie because, first of all, it's more apt to call him a refugee because he crash-landed from another planet.
01:05:57.000I think it's more akin to when a child is left at a church without documents, right?
01:06:30.000I think the trailers already look convoluted.
01:06:34.000It looks like they just jammed in too many characters and the scenes are wild and I love the place and there's too many villains.
01:06:40.000I think the biggest argument is like they've done a horrible job of picking what promotional material to run.
01:06:46.000So they ran these clips where Lois Lane is interviewing Superman and he's losing his cool.
01:06:52.000And then there's this other clip where Lex Luther steals Crypto, the dog, and Superman goes in there and is yelling at him and it doesn't make him look very good.
01:07:00.000But everybody who's seen this movie and is talking about it is saying that David Kornsweat, the guy who's playing Superman now, does a fantastic job in the role.
01:07:08.000I don't think it's going to do well because our culture is decayed and collapsed.
01:07:13.000They need the guy who plays Superman to say free Palestine.
01:07:17.000I think the reason why Superman won't do well and the reason why the Marvel movies haven't doing well is the exact same reason why the baseball fields in my neighborhood in Chicago are overgrown with weeds and no one plays baseball anymore.
01:07:57.000And so they assume that it's homogenous.
01:08:00.000And so what happens with Superman is you have a movie where it is largely catering to a traditional American value system, truth just in the American way.
01:08:12.000Exactly, because they're trying to lowest common denominator it so that the children of immigrants will come and see a movie, but they don't have any cultural connection to.
01:08:21.000So we have Superman going back 70 years or whatever.
01:08:24.000So a new Superman movie, it's a big IP that people who are familiar with American tradition and American culture are going to be like, a new Superman.
01:08:32.000But if you came here from Honduras, you're going to be like, oh, I've heard of that.
01:09:12.000That's why it's getting this backlash.
01:09:14.000Numbers-wise, if it does $200 million in its opening weekend, a movie tends to make three times its opening weekend.
01:09:22.000So $600 million on a $225 million budget, which is the estimated, it's probably much higher of that, especially once you include marketing.
01:09:30.000$600 million is less than what Man of Steel made in 2013.
01:09:34.000Far less influencers are going to be a lot of money.
01:09:35.000I don't think money has to make a good movie.
01:09:38.000When you look at how they've look, Suicide Squad was all right.
01:11:57.000Now I've got a wife and a kid, as do most, and people my age are much more likely to have more kids than I. And so we're no longer going to see these movies.
01:12:08.000More importantly, people, millennials, largely don't have kids.
01:12:12.000And they're just like, I don't know, I'm over it.
01:12:14.000I don't care about this stuff anymore.
01:13:38.000And they're saying Superman isn't, but they're just like the people that don't like it are citing story issues, and they're not saying that.
01:14:50.000And the argument I hear is they're all just staying inside and going online.
01:14:55.000Maybe that sounds like a good, a reasonable circumstance, but I don't know if I believe that.
01:15:00.000Like people were in their homes before, but yo, to go back to Chicago, the third biggest city in the country, and in my neighborhood where every year of my life growing up, 4th of July, jam-packed everywhere, literally nobody anywhere.
01:15:46.000Yeah, but either way, when I was a kid with all of those problems, when you went outside on the 4th of July or any weekend for that matter, any weekend, you would see baseball fields, four games happening at once, overlapping with each other.
01:16:01.000A lot of the best parts of America are just your own home.
01:16:12.000It's like, yeah, you guys like it here because your house is nice and it's affordable and you can have a big house.
01:16:17.000But as soon as you, you know, you leave it, you're like, this place is terrible.
01:16:22.000But people still used to go outside of their houses and talk to each other.
01:16:25.000And what I think is happening now, and I don't know if it's for sure, people go online and find a unique community specific to them that doesn't exist in their physical reality.
01:16:36.000And so they don't want to go and hang out outside with their neighbor and play baseball.
01:16:40.000They want to hang out with their other, you know, toaster cosplaying friend or something.
01:16:44.000Well, it's watching people don't have kids.
01:16:50.000Once you have kids, you actually grow up and then you start seeing the value of having a barbecue or any little thing becomes a big thing because you realize for your kid, you're creating the foundation for their life.
01:17:03.000So when people don't have that and they're 35, 40, and then they just watch the internet all day.
01:17:09.000And yeah, like obviously they're not going to also go and support the new Superman movie.
01:17:15.000I wonder, is this all intentional to prepare us for an AI industrial revolution?
01:17:23.000I don't know how it could be intentional.
01:17:25.000It's like a hindsight 2020 thing, you know, how it's like you look back, like looking at art history now through the lens of that we have social media or just art in general or movies or like the first movie theaters that were Nickelodeons and they literally watched one reel.
01:17:42.000Like you'd pay five cents to watch the equivalent of one, like a one minute movie.
01:17:47.000And then it became, well, we need longer movies.
01:17:50.000But now we all just, we've gone back to one minute.
01:17:53.000So it's like we don't realize what you're, what you're saying is true.
01:17:58.000We are being set up for AI, but it's a natural thing.
01:18:04.000And once we have it and it's part of everything, we'll look back and go, oh, that's why we were.
01:18:09.000So the argument is, you know, the saying, you will live in the pod, you will eat the bugs.
01:18:13.000That's what the agenda 2030 was, all that stuff.
01:18:17.000And with AI coming and prominent tech leaders believing that AI will shut down most information-based jobs and white-collar jobs, in the Black Mirror episode, for instance, they have this device that they talk to, and she's like, I got to pay these bills.
01:18:42.000And so that's going to eliminate most jobs.
01:18:44.000The amazing thing happened with the emergence of crypto in that people have been setting up bill systems with crypto where you could pay by QR code so you no longer needed a rep.
01:18:55.000You literally would just, you'd get a bill and then you'd scan a QR code and hit send and then your bill is paid.
01:19:28.000Now, when they shut the roads down for the NASCAR race, there were a lot of cars, but that's hyper-concentrated area with roads being shut down.
01:19:36.000I wouldn't say that I saw when they shut the roads down in downtown the night of the 4th and everyone was leaving.
01:19:43.000It looked like a normal Friday night to me.
01:21:47.000Like there's a period of growth that happens in media where it's kind of expensive to do radio shows, but a radio is they build it up and it's a guaranteed captured audience of everybody, basically.
01:22:02.000So big companies buy ads and it works.
01:22:06.000Eventually, you end up with Fox News Corporation, its own skyscraper in New York City, and they're getting 17 million views every night because this was 20, 30 years ago or whatever.
01:22:16.000I don't know if they ever got that many, but it's large.
01:22:20.000And so when you have 10 million viewers, a single ad read one time is going to cost $100,000 to $200,000.
01:22:27.000And so now you're selling to these massive corporations, guaranteed space to reach 10 million people, and they do four or five commercials per spot.
01:22:34.000So they're doing like a couple, several million dollars per hour.
01:22:38.000Today you can't reach that, but you still, the technology has gotten cheaper.
01:22:42.000But what we can't compete with here is people are going to do Zoom calls.
01:22:46.000The Zoom calls are, Zoom call interviews are lower quality.
01:22:49.000So I started doing them on my morning show.
01:22:51.000And now I'm actually getting press coverage for the Zoom calls because it opens up the access to prominent political personalities that normally don't want to do in-person.
01:23:00.000But with the decentralization of media, a politician in DC says, why go on Timcast IRL?
01:23:07.000Sure, we average like the second biggest live stream in the country.
01:24:51.000So right now, every day, there is a new young person producing content with a massive profit margin where they sit in a room with a low-cost camera.
01:25:01.000And Timcast IRL is an older system that struggles.
01:25:04.000Fox News and MSNBC and CNN largely survive because they have carriage fees that still exist because there's an older population that still pays for those carriage fees.
01:25:14.000So when the generation that watches shows in person and likes this die or retire and stop paying attention, there's no way this show is going to be able to compete with AI-generated content and young people.
01:25:26.000So the only outcome would be my morning show turns into something like that, I guess.
01:25:54.000Without work or purpose, people become unhealthy and angry and violent.
01:26:01.000So this is like mouse utopia territory, like Rudyard Lynch was saying.
01:26:05.000And I don't know what ends up happening, but I think people need to understand that the AI revolution has the potential to transform humanity in ways hitherto undreamt of.
01:26:17.000That's why I said the other night that AI is going to be a bigger deal than the printing press.
01:26:21.000Like the changes that are coming to society, it's not going to, like, no one can predict how society is going to react to having that kind of productivity.
01:26:33.000If all of the predictions about AI are correct, you have no idea what it's going to do to a society that has that kind of productivity and has so few actual roles for real people to be in.
01:26:47.000I mean, there's a lot of people that when they retire, you know, six months later, they take a bucket.
01:27:00.000And that's, you know, if you, if, if you're an older person, you retire and maybe your significant other has passed away, that's why a lot of, you see a lot of old people that go to McDonald's every morning and they have their coffee because it's just somewhere to go and hang out with people.
01:27:15.000Then they come home, then they go to a job that like young leftists think that it's a terrible thing that they're at work.
01:27:21.000But these people are like, well, if I don't do this, I sit around in my house and just watch TV.
01:27:26.000Here I can actually interact with people.
01:27:28.000There's a social aspect to it, and people need that.
01:27:31.000I think that we are chickens in a chicken coop.
01:27:34.000And what that analogy references to is you look at the chickens.
01:27:38.000They go about their business every day.
01:28:05.000Why would humans not do it to themselves?
01:28:06.000In fact, we did it for generations with slavery and slavery still exists.
01:28:10.000So what I mean by that is the interests of the American public to whatever superstructure exists in government, they don't care about your day-to-day lives.
01:28:20.000They don't seek to interfere in us sitting here bucking amongst ourselves.
01:28:23.000I don't care what the chickens are balking about as long as I get my eggs.
01:28:27.000Only when there is an interference in the work product of your labor, do you then get some kind of crackdown where the person goes in and breaks it up?
01:28:35.000So I think it is fair to say, whether it is the existing U.S. government, deep state, whatever I'm going to call it, or just a superstructure without a nucleus, powerful individuals that have wants and desires and requirements, they ultimately don't care about the will of the people insofar as if it doesn't destabilize the eggs that are produced, we don't care what they do.
01:28:58.000If the system destabilizes, they'll come in and stabilize it however they have to.
01:29:02.000So when you see Trump himself get flustered over Epstein, Dan Bongino and Cash Patel, all of a sudden, phase two of the Epstein release is literal nothing.
01:29:10.000You have to wonder if the farmer came in and kicked the rooster and told him to back deaf off.
01:29:15.000This is like when Trump swore during the Iran stuff, and I was like, that's bad.
01:29:57.000And what I mean by that is when it comes to the power structures of the planet, there are people that Trump has concerns about and has fears about and is beholden to.
01:30:05.000He knows that if Saudi Arabia starts dumping oil into the system, it's going to cause chaos back at home.
01:30:09.000So he's worried about whether or not he's going to piss them off too much.
01:30:13.000And then you get these superstructures essentially.
01:30:18.000Does that prevent us from getting those Trump cell phones, though?
01:31:26.000Yes, you can, because the current versions of Claude and Gemini, you literally just say, make me a game that does this, and it will make you a game at a higher, that is actually better than Atari.
01:31:35.000So we're probably six months out from being able to make, from you being able to say, I want to play a new version of Super Mario Bros.
01:31:41.000The original for NES, make me new levels, and it'll render that in three minutes.
01:32:03.000You were a little, you were, you were a character that could fire a gun upwards as things were, aliens were trying to cross the border, and you had to destroy the aliens before they got in.
01:32:14.000And then I simply told it, create the ability to launch grenades, create 10 HP.
01:32:20.000I literally said, make a game that does this.
01:32:22.000And Gemini made the game and it was more advanced than Atari.
01:32:25.000So it was comparable to like a Nintendo game.
01:32:28.000within a year, it'll be Super Nintendo, then PlayStation.
01:32:31.000Within a couple years, Mid Journey V1 looks nuts.
01:32:41.000We are a few years away from you opening up your Disney Plus app and it's going to be called, you know, it's going to be called Disney World or something.
01:32:48.000And you're going to press the microphone button and say, I want to watch Spider-Man fight Godzilla.
01:32:55.000And then within three minutes, you have a full feature-length film of Spider-Man fighting Godzilla.
01:32:59.000And it kind of goes back to what you were saying about how there isn't like a cohesive narrative around society anymore is that movies and television shows used to be something that people coalesced around.
01:33:09.000People would talk about them at the water cooler, right?
01:33:11.000When a new show came out and everybody was watching it.
01:34:18.000So a lot of the white-collar jobs that'll go, like you think, would that be bad?
01:34:25.000I think it's going to cause an economic.
01:34:28.000So when the Industrial Revolution happened, this is what leads to a lot of revolutions and violence because through no fault of their own, a person was like, my access to food, shelter, and security has evaporated because the job I used to have is now mechanized and they don't need me anymore.
01:35:00.000So these are some VEO videos I made where I said third-person video game gameplay, steampunk game, players, female in red cloak with steam-powered gauntlet and steampunk sword.
01:36:39.000And it took me literally three minutes to make.
01:36:41.000I think within a year, you'll be able to go on Claude or Gemini and say, you're not going to be able to do Mario because it's IP, but you're going to say, make me a platform game where you play a character who collects items, can power up and can fly in the style of Super Mario World, and it will make an entirely new version of it, and it'll do it in five minutes.
01:37:02.000These games are not very, like, what is the maximum size of Super Mario World?
01:37:46.000And like you start, you look at how much work and artistry went into making those games, and you think about how now it's just going to be somebody giving a prompt, and that's depressing.
01:37:55.000But is it really because video game companies, I mean, are they using AI already?
01:38:01.000I mean, I'm talking about a game that was made.
01:38:27.000Because the thing is, you're going to have to be interested in whatever you're making to begin with.
01:38:31.000Two of my favorite movies in the last couple of years were Gran Turismo and F1, which came out this year.
01:38:37.000F1, I have no interest in F1 as a sport.
01:38:40.000I don't watch F1, but the movie was fantastic.
01:38:43.000But if we're talking about a world where I'm going to have to prompt to make a movie, I would have never thought to prompt to make a movie about something like this.
01:38:51.000So I want to be shown art from people who are passionate about what they're making and bring a level of humanity to it that precludes my ability to understand before I watch the piece.
01:39:03.000I don't know anything about this world or these types of characters until I enter that world through the lens of what they've created.
01:39:10.000I don't want to only look at the world through the lens of something that I can conceive.
01:39:18.000So I just told Gemini Canvas to remake a side-scrolling platformer similar to Super Mario World and said, yes, and it's programming it right now.
01:40:55.000I appreciate that all Casprew can be drank black, unlike other coffee brands, which are so rot gut that they need cream and sugar to be palatable.
01:41:57.000J.W. Velasquez says, for the anti-fatat prank, you pay the tattoo artist to ink the swastika as usual, but just do the strikethrough with a fine-point Sharpie.
01:42:11.000The James Black says, thoughts on Dean Withers weaponizing his audience to dox and get CPS called on a caller to his show over a disagreement.
01:42:39.000And I have a long form discussion on rights, what rights mean, and breaking down how Warren Smith, he edited out my responses in the debate and then said them himself.
01:42:51.000This is like, I don't like, I don't accept, I even say this, like Andrew is probably right about a lot of things.
01:42:56.000I'm probably wrong about a lot of things.
01:42:58.000I believe that my moral worldview and philosophies are correct.
01:43:03.000But what I don't like is someone taking a year-old debate, editing in only me, like portions where I'm like looking worse, cutting out my actual response, saying them yourself, and then saying I'm struggling and I'm failing.
01:43:27.000I want the actual core of the argument on rights between Andrew and I to be ingested as it is, and then people can make a determination for themselves.
01:43:33.000And Andrew and I should probably have an additional debate where we continue the conversation.
01:43:38.000What I can't stand is anyone left or right intentionally ripping apart the core so that people don't understand the truth and they don't understand the moral philosophies.
01:43:47.000Instead, they say things like, wow, Tim, did you really not understand?
01:43:51.000And I'm like, no, the dude just cut out my response.
01:43:54.000Like, what am I supposed to do to that?
01:45:02.000The question becomes, what does a person mean when they say they have a right to something?
01:45:05.000And my definition is that it's something they believe they can't survive without.
01:45:09.000And then we try to define when something actually enters into the territory of a true right, whether you actually have a right to it, whether or not you could survive.
01:45:16.000So that means only some things you have a right to that you are allowed to have by virtue of existence.
01:45:22.000Didn't that UN guy say there was no such thing as rights?
01:45:42.000Andrew made a semantic argument that what we believe to be rights can't exist because there is no truth but power, which is an anarchic and fascist.
01:45:51.000This concept exists within anarchic philosophy as well as fascistic philosophy.
01:45:55.000That the only thing that is true is what you can enforce to be true.
01:45:58.000Therefore, no one has any true right to anything because they must have the right to exert force to obtain it, which omits my point.
01:46:06.000If you are standing alone naked in the woods, what can you do and what must you do?
01:46:11.000And then how would we define something as your right to do?
01:46:13.000So my argument is when someone says they have a right to something, what they are basically telling you is, if I can't do this, I die, or my survival is in jeopardy.
01:46:24.000His argument is people just claim they should be allowed to do something by virtue of their opinion, which my argument largely is there are things that we must intrinsically be able to do to survive.
01:46:38.000And it's exemplified, and where does this come?
01:47:04.000Like to a communist, they'd be cheating, right?
01:47:06.000So when China first began, they were struggling and failing.
01:47:08.000They were starving and they were dying to tens of millions and Mao killed more people than any other human.
01:47:12.000It's only when they began to adopt more liberties in their marketplace, they began to relax how their economy worked, that they began to find some degree of success.
01:47:21.000But I think people are correct in saying that China may be a paper tiger.
01:47:26.000They have big, fake, empty cities, and some argue their population size is not actually 1 billion.
01:47:39.000There was a story that was really interesting that Daily Beast said they had leaked audio of Trump telling a donor he threatened to bomb Beijing in Moscow, which is funny, but there's an actual video of a Trump donor in 2022 that we covered where he holds the phone up and they film it.
01:47:55.000And Trump says, I told Putin I would bomb Moscow.
01:47:58.000And he says, I don't know if he believed me, maybe 5%, but I told him I'd do it.
01:48:03.000Anyway, I did an hour-long breakdown on my view and understandings of the moral philosophies around rights.
01:48:10.000And again, what I find irksome is that someone like Warren Smith or Sam Cedar and there's other people intentionally break the argument so the audience can't understand.
01:48:19.000I may be wrong about all of it, but the important thing is that you hear what I actually think and what Andrew actually thinks.
01:48:24.000And then you can say, you know what, Andrew makes a great point.
01:48:59.000So like the argument over rights as survival, the reason healthcare is not a human right is that healthcare is not something that inherently exists as a function of physics.
01:49:08.000So you can't force someone to give you healthcare, but you do have a right to get healthcare from someone else.
01:49:13.000A nation that would restrict the ability of injured or sick individuals from getting healthcare will likely struggle to succeed and result in hindrance.
01:49:21.000The degree to which a nation inhibits the rights of its citizens, you can see the degree of stagnation and ultimate failure.
01:49:27.000So for instance, the Soviets failed in 69 years because a curtailing of liberty and the right to make determinations for yourself, that is, the inherent ability for you to choose what is best for you, resulted in the failure of that governmental system.
01:49:39.000You can exist as a system like China where you actually succeed, grow, and become wealthy by finding that balance of where you can curtail the rights of individuals, but still allow a degree of economic freedom.
01:49:52.000So we call them a pseudo-communist country where they allow businesses to start, but they can snap their fingers and shut the business down whenever they want.
01:50:19.000My point ultimately is the United States is the greatest country this planet has ever seen because its core foundations were the protection of liberty against government tyranny.
01:50:28.000And the only reason the United States is now struggling is because communist philosophies have taken over a large portion of the country.
01:50:33.000Do you think Trump is using some of those to his advantage?
01:50:39.000Like, you know, whatever he just passed some, what bill, you know, the Big Beautiful Bill?
01:50:54.000So I would align this with the core tenet that creates the Second Amendment, the right to defend yourself, your society, and your culture.
01:51:03.000Very few countries have complete open birthright citizenship the way we do, but I'll explain it in a very simple analogy.
01:51:10.000There were baseball fields in my neighborhood where I grew up.
01:51:13.000They've overgrown with weeds and they put soccer goals there instead.
01:51:16.000If there is a function, if there is a functioning government that produces a large degree of success and you dilute the ideology of that system and you bring in external miscellaneous thought, then you will bog down that system and eventually it will be hindered.
01:51:34.000So what I see largely is mass migration.
01:51:38.000Let's talk about like anchor babies, for instance.
01:52:57.000So when you have people coming into your country and taking money out of the locality and sending it back, you are extracting the value of that community and you are weakening its ability to sustain itself.
01:53:06.000I get with like the illegal immigrants, but like what about, because now it's like anybody who doesn't have a green card, apparently.
01:53:12.000Yeah, no one should just get to be a citizen.
01:53:14.000Like if I love this analogy, if your neighbor's cow walks into your yard and gives birth, you don't get to keep the calf.
01:53:20.000Like so, so I'll give you a few other heavy political examples.
01:53:25.000If a Chinese family, they actually do this, fly to the U.S. and then give birth to a kid and fly back.
01:53:34.000That kid can come back in 20 years or 30 years, get a job, and then 15 years later, run for president.
01:53:41.000Why would we want a Chinese-born national who is a card-carrying, avowed member of the Chinese Communist Party to have the right to be our president?
01:54:25.000And so now the question is, what sports are being played in my neighborhood?
01:54:28.000I, as a bad steward of my home, I left.
01:54:31.000Did not help to maintain the values that I liked.
01:54:34.000What we end up seeing from this is that's a simple, silly thing.
01:54:38.000Like people might be like, who cares about baseball?
01:54:40.000But the bigger picture is free speech, the right to keep bare arms, the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.
01:54:47.000These are core values that are instilled in Americans in the American tradition that don't exist in people from the third world.
01:54:52.000Some of them may understand and want this.
01:54:54.000Those people tend to come here and wave American flags.
01:54:57.000There's a viral video from an Iranian who said he was a refugee in Turkey.
01:55:00.000He came to America and he waves the American flag because he is so happy to get what we cherish.
01:55:05.000But the people who come here illegally in violation of our laws, spitting in our face, who then have kids and then use those kids to send money back to their home country are simply saying, I will take from you and extract your value.
01:55:13.000That is a very bad thing that will erode and destroy a country.
01:55:16.000And immigrants that come to this country legally from all across the world, they do very well.
01:55:22.000They tend to be very successful economically.
01:56:25.000The argument of the 14th Amendment is contentious.
01:56:27.000The purpose of the 14th Amendment was that after the Civil War, slaves were to be made citizens, and they also had children who were to be made citizens.
01:56:37.000So the statement of anyone born here is a citizen was intended to be, as of today, anyone who was born here as a citizen.
01:56:46.000And then they had a debate and they were like, no, no, it should be anyone born here at any point ever.
01:56:51.000And they actually debated it because the reason the debate exists, because it was not clear-cut.
01:56:56.000They did not agree that that was going to be the case.
01:56:58.000In fact, the senator proposed that said this should not Include foreigners, diplomats, aliens, et cetera.
01:57:04.000The argument from the left is: no, no, no, that was one thing.
01:57:07.000He was saying foreigners, aliens, diplomats.
01:57:10.000He was saying those people who were diplomats, ambassadors.
01:57:12.000The argument from the right is, no, no, he's saying it makes no sense that any, literally, any foreigner who comes here just gets to have their kid be a citizen.
01:57:20.000So the problem we have right now is Gen Z can't buy homes.
01:57:26.000People keep saying, but unemployment is low.
01:57:28.000Yeah, no, that's because Gen Z isn't working and young people don't have jobs.
01:57:31.000I think it will work if Gen Z and millennials have kids.
01:57:37.000I think Gen Z. Gen Z, well, so then it's going to not necessarily be that beneficial to get rid of birthright citizenship because it'll become like Japan where.
01:58:29.000It's possible, but the probability I would say right now is slim considering their party is fractured into two different.
01:58:36.000I pulled up a study the other day showing the ideal, it was an ideological map, and then it weighted it in each different category by age, by political party.
01:58:45.000The Democrats, I'll just keep it simple.
01:59:28.000The top is red, and it's a standard curve.
01:59:30.000The Democrats shape like a curve and then have a bubble that sticks out.
01:59:34.000The bubble that sticks out is the far left.
01:59:36.000They are attached to Democrats, but have a different worldview.
01:59:41.000This is creating a big problem for Democrats in winning larger elections because Republicans are more unified.
01:59:46.000Despite the fact that there is hyperpolarization and it is relatively split, Democrats are struggling to contend with the fact that moderates don't like gender ideology and the far left demands it.
01:59:55.000All they have to do is legalize weed and actually run on that campaign.
02:00:30.000So more and more data is coming out showing Gen Z is becoming more conservative and more Christian, and their use of substances is rapidly declining.
02:02:27.000Now, I do think that I've made the argument that Gen Z should rough it and it's getting worse for you.
02:02:34.000A lot of these Gen Z kids, though, they come out of university and they're making like 70 to 90K a year.
02:02:41.000I mean, maybe those rare ones are having.
02:02:43.000The issue is that instead of getting married to somebody else making that amount of money and prioritizing their future and creating a family, the culture suggests that they should just use that money to get and have as much fun as they can.
02:05:55.000It was supposed to come with the food.
02:05:56.000So funny, back in the day when you do that at McDonald's, if you'd asked for the barbecue sauce, if an employee actually tried to charge you for it, you like made fun of them.
02:06:03.000Well, some places would be like, I can give you two.
02:06:06.000And I'd be like, you know, I was at Buffalo Wildlings the other day, and I said, all right, I'm going to order Naked Wings, and I'm going to get a ton of sauce.
02:07:15.000And like when we were first, when we were first, we bought this plot of land so we could build everything on, like this building room, we built it all from scratch.
02:07:23.000It was a big, empty, 50-acre property.
02:07:26.000When we got it, the surrounding properties were relatively cheap, like $175 for a bungalow with a couple acres.
02:07:32.000And so the people we had working for us, as well as family, I was like, hey, buy stuff out here.
02:07:57.000If you have savings five years ago, if you're like, I saved 20 grand from work over a long period of time, I got a down payment for a house and you waited three years.
02:08:07.000That down payment is worth a third of what it was worth relative to the home, the land value.
02:08:13.000So now it's like, I went and looked at another house with my wife, and it was like a three-bedroom cabin on like two acres, and they wanted $500,000 for it.
02:08:25.000And we were like, it's got appliances from the 70s.
02:08:41.000And they're saying now that with Trump's strategy on interest rates and what's going on with Jerome Powell, whether or not he resigns, the housing market will explode and the costs will go up.
02:10:32.000Only a couple people I can talk to who are like, yeah, they got kids and they got jobs and they're doing well, but it's just outside of Chicago.
02:10:37.000What am I, you know, it's not like we're talking about upstate New York or something.
02:10:42.000I think maybe poor people are dying off.
02:11:09.000I can go to a plot of land and say, we're going to build a building here and we're going to create a restaurant that is fully automated and just pay for it.
02:12:09.000So don't you kind of need some socialism to be able to keep people alive?
02:12:18.000I don't know if I believe that, but you need UBI for all the people who are just going to, the airport people who don't have jobs or just let them rot?
02:12:29.000Do you think, like, what do you think would happen if we went back 500 years and went to like the main colony, central colony, and said, hey, this guy, Tim Poole, right here, we want you to make him the wealthiest person in your town.
02:14:29.000I just mean like if you go back to the caveman era, being a guy that yells and complains about how things are going and what we should be doing is not an essential function.
02:14:42.000And they're going to be like, dude, we get it.
02:16:16.000I got to be honest, like pros and cons, I guess.
02:16:21.000I've waited in line at a bank being like, this is fucking ridiculous.
02:16:24.000I've also had problems with automated services that like they can't solve because they're not people.
02:16:30.000Yeah, it's one of those things where like you don't realize how much of a how many how much like a paper house you're living in until like something goes wrong and you have to call somebody to actually get help with something and you realize that you don't ever talk to an actual human being ever.
02:17:25.000Because when a general statement is made about a large population, the person says, but I, as if that provides a data point that counters anything that was said.
02:17:35.000So like with all due respect, good sir, I respect your hard work.
02:17:39.000I mean this generally, like congratulations, you've succeeded.
02:18:12.000Like my parents didn't want me to play video games all the time, but if they had encouraged it, like they encouraged comedy, but they, because they were, you know, a little old school, they knew what comedy was, but they didn't think if this kid keeps playing video games and then, you know, he can make 300 grand a month on street.
