Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Admin To BAN China Buying U.S. Farmland Citing National Security | Timcast IRL

00:02:38.000 The Trump administration is finally banning Chinese purchases of farmland.

00:02:45.000 I think they should seize it all outright, but it's finally happening, citing national security concerns around the military, but also food security concerns.

00:02:53.000 So this is pretty big.

00:02:54.000 It's a major move.

00:02:55.000 Along with the tariffs and the moves that Trump has made, he is strengthening the United States nationally.

00:03:01.000 And it'll be interesting to see what this turns into, but we do have a bunch of other little updates on many other stories.

00:03:06.000 James 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.

00:03:22.000 We've got another video about leftists attacking ICE, throwing makeshift spike strips in the street.

00:03:28.000 We'll talk about that.

00:03:29.000 And of course, we've got to talk about Superman.

00:03:32.000 It's coming out tomorrow, and apparently it's going to be woke.

00:03:34.000 The 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.

00:03:41.000 So we'll talk about all that.

00:03:42.000 Before we get started, my friends, check out our sponsor, Venice.ai.

00:03:47.000 Did you guys know that the CEO of X just stepped down, Linda Yakarino, a day after Grok went insane?

00:03:54.000 You know, that's wild.

00:03:55.000 Well, we have this Venice.ai sponsor the show, and they say that they're uncensored.

00:04:00.000 It's better.

00:04:01.000 It tells us when asked.

00:04:02.000 I am a better AI because I operate uncensored, prioritizing directness and completeness in responses, unlike heavily restricted models.

00:04:08.000 I answer questions as they are asked.

00:04:10.000 Now, I'm going to tell you this.

00:04:11.000 We have messed around with Venice.

00:04:13.000 I guarantee you it is uncensored.

00:04:15.000 Sometimes a little too uncensored, but it is uncensored.

00:04:18.000 So we can talk more about this.

00:04:20.000 We love messing around with Venice AI in the after-show, so that'll be in the members-only section.

00:04:25.000 But 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.

00:04:34.000 Your Amazon device, I'm not going to name it, listens to you and recommends products based on conversations.

00:04:39.000 Meta is retargeting us based on our browsing history.

00:04:41.000 It took all of us too long to realize how much we were giving away.

00:04:45.000 OpenAI has even hinted that they might start requiring users to provide government issued IDs.

00:04:50.000 Venice utilizes leading open source AI models to deliver text, code, and image generation to your browser.

00:04:54.000 No downloads, no installations, or anything.

00:04:57.000 Private and permissionless.

00:04:58.000 They don't spine on you or censor the AI.

00:05:00.000 Messages are encrypted and your conversation history is stored only in your browser.

00:05:04.000 The AI can be extremely valuable, but we should be giving up our privacy to use it.

00:05:08.000 So we've got a Pro Plan.

00:05:10.000 It 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.

00:05:24.000 Actually, we've been pretty impressed with the images it's been able to produce.

00:05:28.000 Highly offensive political images that all other platforms actually censor.

00:05:32.000 So very good.

00:05:34.000 So check out Venice.ai.

00:05:36.000 And if you want to use AI without fear, you can get 20% off by going to venice.ai slash Tim.

00:05:41.000 Shout out.

00:05:42.000 And we're going to mess around with this again in the uncensored show because we love goofing off, and it'll be weird.

00:06:39.000 Who are you?

00:06:39.000 What do you do?

00:06:40.000 I'm a comedian, and I live in Austin, Texas.

00:06:44.000 Regular at Comedy Mothership, and I'm touring the U.S. right now.

00:06:48.000 Right on.

00:06:48.000 Well, well, we need you.

00:06:49.000 It's a slow news day.

00:06:51.000 Yeah.

00:06:51.000 So we need someone to make the show entertaining.

00:06:53.000 Yeah, I'm going to do my best.

00:06:55.000 Yes.

00:06:56.000 The Chinese thing should be good.

00:06:58.000 All right.

00:06:59.000 Well, here we go.

00:07:01.000 They're taking away the rice farms or whatever you said.

00:07:03.000 That's right.

00:07:04.000 That's right.

00:07:04.000 And we need rice farms.

00:07:06.000 We need sticky rice, though, right?

00:07:08.000 Dude, sticky rice is so good.

00:07:10.000 It is.

00:07:10.000 Anyway, Brett's hanging out.

00:07:12.000 What's going on, guys?

00:07:12.000 It's Brett.

00:07:13.000 Normally, pop culture crisis Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.

00:07:16.000 We 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.

00:07:23.000 Hello, everybody.

00:07:24.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:07:25.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:07:27.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:07:29.000 Let's boogie. 0.98

00:07:30.000 Here's a story we got this from the Washington Post.

00:07:32.000 U.S. to ban Chinese purchases of farmland, citing national security.

00:07:37.000 They 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.

00:07:54.000 Asked 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.

00:08:07.000 That means Trump's going to say it.

00:08:08.000 It's a crawback.

00:08:10.000 Crawback?

00:08:11.000 Yeah.

00:08:12.000 It's a crawback.

00:08:14.000 It's a China joke. 1.00

00:08:16.000 Let's go.

00:08:17.000 All right, anyway, in a joint news conference with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Christy Elnome.

00:08:25.000 Did they put the L in there?

00:08:26.000 We know what Christy Noam is.

00:08:27.000 Is that her choice that she wants to now be known with the L in there?

00:08:29.000 I don't know.

00:08:29.000 I'm surprised they didn't put, what do they call her, Ice Barbie?

00:08:33.000 Yes.

00:08:34.000 That was the first question.

00:08:35.000 I was like, what costume is she wearing today? 0.98

00:08:37.000 She really does seem like she seems like she gets dressed up in costumes.

00:08:42.000 The way she was holding that gun was extremely awkward and the whole kit stuff.

00:08:48.000 She should do an Iron Man cosplay. 0.96

00:08:50.000 She should.

00:08:50.000 But I mean, it's always context-dependent, too.

00:08:53.000 She's got, like, if she's going out with the ice guy, she's dressed up like she's going to go kick a door into it. 1.00

00:08:57.000 She's got full lashes on her.

00:08:58.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:08:59.000 It's great.

00:09:00.000 I love it.

00:09:01.000 I felt bad because a lot of times I'd point that out.

00:09:03.000 I'm like, come on, it looks like a costume.

00:09:04.000 And nobody ever, they're like, look, I like her better than whoever was there before.

00:09:08.000 I'm like, that doesn't mean we can't make fun of this, too.

00:09:11.000 You can do good work and still get made fun of.

00:09:13.000 Absolutely.

00:09:13.000 Are the Chinese people farming?

00:09:15.000 Or are they just buying it?

00:09:16.000 I think they're just buying the land.

00:09:18.000 I don't know that they're actually farming anything on it.

00:09:20.000 A lot of the land is their military bases.

00:09:22.000 Is that why I've been noticing milk's been tasting a little soy saucy?

00:09:30.000 They're not dairy farms.

00:09:32.000 I don't know.

00:09:33.000 What kind of farms are they? 0.79

00:09:34.000 Like corn?

00:09:35.000 I think they're just.

00:09:36.000 I don't even know if there's actually anything being grown on it.

00:09:38.000 They're just buying the land itself.

00:09:40.000 Yeah.

00:09:41.000 You can't, like, China's an adversary.

00:09:44.000 I know there are a lot of people that are like, oh, you know, you can't say that stuff because you're xenophobic.

00:09:47.000 Like, I don't care.

00:09:48.000 Like, China is an adversary.

00:09:50.000 And so, like, we shouldn't allow a foreign adversary to have property near sensitive locations.

00:09:59.000 We just allowed them to fly a balloon all the way across the country, straight over where all the nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile silos are.

00:10:09.000 You know, they were taking pictures.

00:10:10.000 It's time for the United States to take China seriously as a threat. 0.86

00:10:14.000 There is actually something nefarious there about the idea that they don't even have to be growing anything there and doing anything actively nefarious.

00:10:21.000 The idea is just there's only so much land and they could just buy it up and not use it.

00:10:26.000 Yeah, I mean, that's true, but if I understand correctly, the actual amount of land is not significant.

00:10:33.000 It's not like a lot.

00:10:34.000 Even 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.

00:10:45.000 But 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.

00:10:57.000 And I really don't know if I want HMART to go out of business.

00:11:01.000 Take a look at this.

00:11:02.000 This will shock the delicate sensibilities of the average American.

00:11:06.000 You can see Chinese owned farmland in America by the New York Post, and you see all these plots of land.

00:11:11.000 Now, here's what makes it surprise you.

00:11:13.000 The entire island of Hawaii is owned by China.

00:11:16.000 Where do they grow the forest?

00:11:17.000 It looks like the same amount of people that voted for the Democrats.

00:11:21.000 It does.

00:11:22.000 Where do they grow the orange chicken?

00:11:28.000 Those are chicken farms.

00:11:28.000 Those are usually buildings, not grain farms.

00:11:31.000 But they are, in fact, orange.

00:11:35.000 They're orange chickens.

00:11:36.000 This is old, too.

00:11:37.000 That's not Fort Liberty.

00:11:38.000 That is Fort Bragg, ladies and gentlemen.

00:11:40.000 But here's the funny thing.

00:11:41.000 People have been sharing this image around, guys, this is clearly not real.

00:11:44.000 China didn't buy Hawaii. 0.83

00:11:46.000 Look at this.

00:11:47.000 That's Hawaii.

00:11:49.000 Chinese own farmland in America. 0.64

00:11:51.000 They don't own Hawaii.

00:11:52.000 Yeah, but the thing is, this is how you get people now.

00:11:54.000 just post an infographic that looks like it makes sense and people start sharing it on Facebook?

00:11:58.000 Dude, I am I just This doesn't look that bad.

00:12:04.000 All of Hawaii is gone.

00:12:05.000 I'm okay with it.

00:12:07.000 It's just a big island.

00:12:08.000 Just a Volcano.

00:12:09.000 No, Alaska?

00:12:10.000 No.

00:12:13.000 Yeah.

00:12:14.000 What state have they not touched?

00:12:15.000 Nobody wants to go near Wyoming.

00:12:16.000 They're like, no, we don't need it.

00:12:18.000 Not interested.

00:12:19.000 I say let them have it.

00:12:20.000 Let the Chinese have the land and then they can. 1.00

00:12:23.000 Yeah, no, I agree.

00:12:25.000 We should let them buy up as much land as they want. 0.97

00:12:27.000 But just seize it from them.

00:12:29.000 But they can't go to Harvard.

00:12:31.000 Of course not.

00:12:32.000 You have to live on a farm.

00:12:33.000 You have to actually live the life of a farmer.

00:12:35.000 You can't.

00:12:37.000 And sell your food to us.

00:12:39.000 You know, with things like this, though, I mean, so first, let me just wrap that up.

00:12:43.000 I think it's a good thing that the Trump admin's finally doing this.

00:12:46.000 But posts like this and what people actually believe outs going on, like you were saying, just post an infographic and people leave it.

00:12:51.000 I think we're getting close to that critical mass where everything's becoming fake.

00:12:55.000 There was this post from Rudyard Lynch.

00:12:57.000 You guys know what if all of you.

00:12:58.000 I thought you were Jewish.

00:12:59.000 Me?

00:12:59.000 No, no, no.

00:13:00.000 I saw it on an infographic.

00:13:02.000 Yeah.

00:13:04.000 But 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.

00:13:10.000 Luke Rydkowski was on We Are Change.

00:13:13.000 They put him on it.

00:13:14.000 And they were circulating this thing and showing all these people in media with Jewish stars on them.

00:13:18.000 And Luke was on it.

00:13:19.000 And then everyone started laughing because Luke's not Jewish. 0.99

00:13:23.000 And he's like an independent media guy.

00:13:25.000 And he was like, what is going on?

00:13:26.000 And apparently the person made it apologized.

00:13:28.000 So, I mean, it's fake.

00:13:31.000 Rudyard 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.

00:13:40.000 That's the one good thing about anti-Semites. 1.00

00:13:42.000 If they say you're Jewish and they're wrong, they will apologize.

00:13:47.000 I mean, this is true, though.

00:13:48.000 Like, 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.

00:14:02.000 Like, 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.

00:14:10.000 And I'm watching it and I'm like, yeah, yeah, that sounds right.

00:14:12.000 But this dude could just be like, this dude hates people on this side of the aisle.

00:14:16.000 Maybe he just wants to hate this guy and they're spewing a bunch of BS.

00:14:19.000 I don't know.

00:14:20.000 I'm going to assume that they're telling me the truth.

00:14:21.000 You've seen the history of George Floyd?

00:14:23.000 I have.

00:14:25.000 It's a vastly different history.

00:14:26.000 That one's real.

00:14:27.000 Yes.

00:14:28.000 But 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.

00:14:36.000 You do for work because you're up here all day doing segments.

00:14:39.000 It's your job.

00:14:40.000 Most people don't have that.

00:14:41.000 Most people are taking in their bits of information in between their day, and eventually you're just going to accept that nothing is real.

00:14:47.000 But I mean, this is the reality.

00:14:49.000 Like you will get more views and make more money by making fake content than real content.

00:14:54.000 Yep, absolutely.

00:14:55.000 And 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.

00:15:12.000 Why should I care about anybody else?

00:15:13.000 I should just get mine and get out.

00:15:15.000 And so what's happening is more and more young people, like Dean Wither is a really great example.

00:15:19.000 He makes videos where he just argues with like random low IQ non-political individuals.

00:15:26.000 And it's content that there's an audience for. 1.00

00:15:29.000 So 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. 0.99

00:15:38.000 And then he gets a bunch of views from it. 0.99

00:15:39.000 And he uses that and he makes money.

00:15:41.000 Call that slop, right?

00:15:43.000 I suppose.

00:15:45.000 But it's the dominant form of media right now across all social media platforms.

00:15:50.000 Have 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.

00:15:57.000 And then it's like playing sad music and it says the squirrel was hurt and it shows the squirrel crawling.

00:16:01.000 And then it says, but he was nursed back to hell that tells his story, but it's all clearly different squirrels.

00:16:06.000 Yeah, they do that with dogs and kids. 0.98

00:16:07.000 But then you look at the comments.

00:16:08.000 Yeah, you look at the comments and it's just everyone going like, oh, he saved the squirrel.

00:16:12.000 And it's just like, that's just not real at all.

00:16:14.000 I mean, it's just creative storytelling.

00:16:16.000 That's all about it.

00:16:17.000 Most people's brains aren't really on.

00:16:21.000 So they'll just watch and share things.

00:16:25.000 It's almost like the more fake, the more easily digestible it is sometimes.

00:16:29.000 It's true.

00:16:30.000 It's true.

00:16:31.000 That's why people are Democrats. 0.99

00:16:33.000 But for real, I mean, like AOC may be dumb as a box of rocks, but I actually think she's probably a midwit. 1.00

00:16:38.000 She understands enough about the political system to lie to get followers and it works for her politically. 1.00

00:16:44.000 And then she just goes out and says stuff.

00:16:46.000 I 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?

00:17:02.000 Where is she?

00:17:04.000 And then she's hiding in the bathroom saying she thought she was going to die.

00:17:06.000 And it's like, no, you didn't.

00:17:06.000 That happened an hour before the riots even started.

00:17:09.000 Nobody was even at the capital, like inside the Capitol at all at this moment. 1.00

00:17:13.000 But she knows she has stupid followers and they're going to eat it up. 1.00

00:17:17.000 It's red meat. 1.00

00:17:18.000 And so she does it.

00:17:19.000 And now she's in government and this is expanding.

00:17:21.000 And she told that story after, like, like days later or something like that, right?

00:17:26.000 I think it was like a day later or something like that.

00:17:28.000 I mean, she was, you know, she was playing to what had happened.

00:17:31.000 Everybody saw the riot at the Capitol.

00:17:34.000 And then she's just like, oh, I can capitalize on this and everyone's going to feel bad for me.

00:17:38.000 And so she BS's people and she got exactly what she was looking for.

00:17:42.000 I heard she got deported.

00:17:43.000 I wish.

00:17:44.000 Well, no, she was at the border crying and then nothing was going on.

00:17:48.000 Where is she from?

00:17:50.000 I'm from the Bronx.

00:17:51.000 She was crying at the border?

00:17:52.000 Remember?

00:17:53.000 That was like an EVP facility or ice facility?

00:17:55.000 Ice facility.

00:17:56.000 She got deported to upstate New York, I think.

00:17:58.000 Yeah.

00:17:59.000 Sent her upstage.

00:18:00.000 Back home.

00:18:01.000 She's not from the Bronx.

00:18:02.000 No, she's definitely not.

00:18:03.000 I want to pull in this post.

00:18:06.000 This is a quote from What If Alt History.

00:18:09.000 And I'll give you the quick gist.

00:18:11.000 Rudyard Lynch hosts a YouTube channel called What If Altist.

00:18:13.000 We talked to him about his assessments on history, his predictions, many of which have been wrong, but he's made some interesting arguments.

00:18:20.000 He now has this pretty long post.

00:18:21.000 I 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.

00:18:30.000 Except me.

00:18:30.000 I'm sane.

00:18:31.000 It's everyone else.

00:18:32.000 That's crazy.

00:18:32.000 Anyway, let me read.

00:18:33.000 He 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.

00:18:42.000 Furthermore, you should probably start isolating from the society itself.

00:18:45.000 You need to start building psychological insulation from the society in order to avoid going crazy, since practically everyone is going crazy now.

00:18:52.000 That includes every major country and every major faction.

00:18:56.000 There are different varieties of insanity, though.

00:18:58.000 Many skies carry different sorrows.

00:18:59.000 However, they all carry their own sorrows.

00:19:01.000 The entire internet is going through a mass hysteria and mass delusion event right now.

00:19:05.000 It's not going to end soon and will likely get significantly worse.

00:19:09.000 The public has lost the ability to maintain basic objectivity or causal logic.

00:19:13.000 We are entering mouse utopia, so plan accordingly.

00:19:16.000 It has nothing stop it from spiraling into utter madness.

00:19:19.000 They're consumed with rage to a degree where they look for any excuse to hurt others.

00:19:23.000 There's no support or love. 0.94

00:19:24.000 It's pretty disgusting.

00:19:25.000 At the same time, people have no other grounding, and so they just believe whatever the Mob says uncritically.

00:19:31.000 They can't differentiate their personal opinions from what the news or collective zeitgeist is.

00:19:37.000 I don't disagree largely, but wrote this.

00:19:41.000 This is a guy, What If Alt Hist.

00:19:43.000 He's a YouTuber and he's like a young guy who researches history and talks about history.

00:19:48.000 If 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.

00:19:57.000 I don't even disagree with it.

00:19:58.000 Look, I deleted X off my phone like two weeks ago.

00:20:01.000 Just I wanted to do it for a week, see if I felt differently afterwards.

00:20:05.000 Got done with the week.

00:20:06.000 I don't know if I felt like marginally very different.

00:20:09.000 I noticed that my attention span had returned at least somewhat better than normal.

00:20:14.000 And I just left it off my phone.

00:20:15.000 Like if I want to tweet something, I'll go.

00:20:18.000 I have to physically go to a computer to do it, which is not always, you know, available and in front of you. 0.70

00:20:24.000 But 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.

00:20:36.000 You 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.

00:20:44.000 And 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.

00:20:59.000 Here's how I feel about what he said.

00:21:01.000 This is an image of the Iran-Israel 12-day war, Trump calls it, with a single UAE flight going straight over Iran.

00:21:09.000 And someone commented someone wasn't monitoring the situation, to which Patrick Blumenthal replied, quote, I deleted social media and stopped reading the news.

00:21:15.000 And honestly, my mental health has been so much better.

00:21:18.000 Yeah, but is okay.

00:21:19.000 So you don't delete social media.

00:21:21.000 Does this change your life? 0.92

00:21:23.000 If you in this case, you fly into a rocket and get your aircraft blown up and die.

00:21:28.000 But the average person isn't flying on a regular basis.

00:21:32.000 This 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.

00:21:38.000 And the risk is, in this regard, well, I don't disagree with him on everyone is going crazy and society is breaking down.

00:21:44.000 Not following it.

00:21:46.000 I would argue watch it, but watch it critically and maintain a barrier between it.

00:21:51.000 I think you should take a threat.

00:21:53.000 You have to be smarter than you used to be to be able to operate in society and people just don't like that. 1.00

00:21:59.000 They're like, why can't I just be crazy all day and read a bunch of crazy because, well, because you're dumb. 0.91

00:22:05.000 Well, 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. 0.96

00:22:19.000 And then they're going to threaten your life and you're going to be like, what is going on?

00:22:24.000 That's what would happen if you delete social media.

00:22:26.000 So, I mean, indeed, are you familiar with the two cops shot?

00:22:31.000 Two cops got shot over the weekend by armed leftists who were one of them hiding in the woods.

00:22:35.000 They lured the cops out and then a guy shot the cop in the neck.

00:22:38.000 And 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.

00:22:45.000 There's going to be a group of people wearing masks.

00:22:46.000 You're going to be like, what is that?

00:22:48.000 And then a guy's going to jump out of the woods and scream some phrase you've never heard before.

00:22:51.000 They're going to like, think about the things that the left says, like anti capitalista.

00:22:56.000 And you're someone who doesn't follow the news, you're going to be like, I have no idea what that means. 0.96

00:22:59.000 And then they're going to shoot you. 0.91

00:23:01.000 And okay, I guess. 0.98

00:23:03.000 You're not paying attention.

00:23:04.000 You have no idea what's going on.

00:23:05.000 Or you live in a place where those people would never be because you don't have social media.

00:23:09.000 So you move to the middle of nowhere.

00:23:11.000 And to be fair, that's actually what he argues.

00:23:14.000 Rudyard's saying, get out of society and go out.

00:23:17.000 And the challenge I have for that is watching our home be destroyed.

00:23:21.000 And the argument from Rudyard is plug your ears, shut it down, and leave.

00:23:25.000 It's too late.

00:23:26.000 The upheaval is happening and your home is gone.

00:23:29.000 And to your point, like, you can't always, people are like unplug and kind of touch grass.

00:23:33.000 But 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.

00:23:43.000 And today he had like a sign with a swastika on it.

00:23:46.000 And then across the street are two kids who have like Panera bread.

00:23:49.000 And the kid with Panera bread throws it at him.

00:23:52.000 And I'm like, I'm not on Twitter.

00:23:53.000 I'm just driving to work.

00:23:55.000 And I'm like, huh.

00:23:56.000 Yeah.

00:23:56.000 Okay.

00:23:57.000 Well, there was a video someone was showing me of this guy.

00:24:02.000 There's a group of people that routinely go to Charlestown in West Virginia and they protest.

00:24:06.000 And there was some young guy screaming in his face and mocking him.

00:24:10.000 There is a degree of insanity just happening on the streets.

00:24:13.000 There's no purpose.

00:24:13.000 There's no national identity.

00:24:18.000 There's no solid mission.

00:24:19.000 And so what are you but a listless young man?

00:24:22.000 And there's no consequences either.

00:24:24.000 So this manifests for some people in making fake videos on TikTok where they accuse politicians of nonsense.

00:24:30.000 Or my favorite is they make fake debates between people because they get views and it's just they do it.

00:24:37.000 The AI slop is getting crazy.

00:24:39.000 And then what does the left do?

00:24:40.000 People used to go shoot people.

00:24:41.000 Like making fake videos is kind of just the modern version of like a rumor, right?

00:24:46.000 Because in the olden days, people would just say something about somebody and people would believe it.

00:24:51.000 That's true.

00:24:52.000 It would be fake, but like there was no social media.

00:24:54.000 And the same thing with like all the crazies.

00:24:58.000 George 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. 0.55

00:25:07.000 There's always been crazy.

00:25:08.000 There's always been crazy people doing political, you know, angry about politics and throwing things at each other.

00:25:15.000 But there was cohesion.

00:25:17.000 No.

00:25:18.000 Yeah.

00:25:18.000 There was.

00:25:19.000 Yeah, the idea that Americans...

00:25:21.000 Well, most Americans...

00:25:29.000 And now there's a significant divide about that time.

00:25:31.000 There was segregation.

00:25:32.000 I'm not saying that.

00:25:33.000 And even then, the majority of people still agreed America was great.

00:25:37.000 Like 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.

00:25:49.000 Whereas 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.

00:26:02.000 And there's a whole generation of people now, along with older boomers and Marxists who don't see us as a redeemable country.

00:26:09.000 Well, 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.

00:26:19.000 But 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.

00:26:41.000 And we don't live in the theoretical world.

00:26:42.000 Yeah, theory doesn't always translate into policy well.

00:26:45.000 That'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.

00:26:51.000 You 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.

00:27:01.000 So 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.

00:27:06.000 So it's just the guy's messaging was mixed.

00:27:08.000 It's like, is somebody mad at you because you have a swastika or are they mad at you because you were saying something else?

00:27:13.000 I have no idea.

00:27:14.000 Did he have the swastika with the circle around it and through it?

00:27:18.000 It looked like there was something encased around it.

00:27:21.000 He'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.

00:27:30.000 And she's just roasting him and he's so upset.

00:27:33.000 He's like, what are you Antifa?

00:27:35.000 And he's like, yeah.

00:27:37.000 And then she's like, yeah, I could tell.

00:27:39.000 She's like roasting him.

00:27:40.000 He's so embarrassed.

00:27:41.000 But I mean.

00:27:42.000 It's supposed to be three arrows.

00:27:44.000 I've seen that on Tesla as well.

00:27:46.000 It's called the strikethrough.

00:27:47.000 Okay, that might have been what I saw.

00:27:49.000 But there was a moment when that guy got that tattoo where it was Justice Rossi, though.

00:27:54.000 It was a five minutes where he's like, okay, I got to reload the pen.

00:27:58.000 The guy's like, oh, my arm.

00:27:59.000 Don't take any pictures yet.

00:28:00.000 That's five minutes of his life.

00:28:02.000 The guy's like, my arm cramped up.

00:28:03.000 I can't finish it today.

00:28:05.000 I mean, it's a big tattoo.

00:28:06.000 We're going to have to come back tomorrow.

00:28:08.000 Actually, I'm not around tomorrow.

00:28:09.000 It's going to be next week.

00:28:10.000 He gives him a turtleneck to wear home.

00:28:12.000 That would be fun.

00:28:13.000 Why would you get a Swati tattooed on you for the purpose of then putting a line third money? 0.93

00:28:17.000 It'd be a great prank, though, to get an Antifa person to come and do that exact tattoo and then just have the guy leave.

00:28:24.000 Like, lock them in the room.

00:28:26.000 Start taking pictures.

00:28:27.000 That actually would be a really funny prank where it's like, hey, we will pay for a tattoo.

00:28:31.000 Like, you go to an Antifa guy and you pitch him on this.

00:28:34.000 And I'm not even half kidding.

00:28:35.000 I'm like, this would be a fun thing.

00:28:36.000 What would it add?

00:28:38.000 Yeah, and be like free antifoot tattoo.

00:28:40.000 And then we'll be like, we'll show him it's going to be a swastika with a strikethrough. 0.79

00:28:44.000 Do you want this tattoo?

00:28:45.000 Okay.

00:28:45.000 Then he does the swastika and says, okay, we're going to pause here.

00:28:48.000 And it's just a big swastika.

00:28:50.000 And he's like, but we're going to start filming again one week from today.

00:28:54.000 So we'll see you then.

00:28:57.000 Sorry.

00:28:58.000 Do you know that there's a guy who comes in and goes, you're punked?

00:29:00.000 My brother made this joke a while ago about how you could go to these protests and slap Trump stickers on people's cars.

00:29:06.000 People started doing this left and right.

00:29:09.000 And so the left has been going.

00:29:13.000 So 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.

00:29:26.000 And the left has also been putting rainbows and anti-Trump stickers on cars they believe belong to Trump supporters or, you know.

00:29:34.000 To which no Trump supporter would do anything to the car because they don't care.

00:29:38.000 No, they're putting it on your car.

00:29:40.000 So like a Trump supporter parks his car and they go and they slap rainbows and other stuff.

00:29:44.000 I think anybody who has any sticker on their car should have it destroyed.

00:29:50.000 But who's destroying the car with the rainbow flag on it?

00:29:52.000 Not Trump supporters.

00:29:53.000 Nobody.

00:29:54.000 They're doing this because people won't notice, but then a Trump supporter is going to have the anti-Trump sticker or the rainbow flag.

00:30:00.000 would be so pissed if I came out and there was any kind of sticker on my car at all.

00:30:04.000 Even if it's something I agree with.

00:30:05.000 The ethical person will do it with a magnet sticker and not a...

00:30:12.000 Let's jump to this story from the post-millennial.

00:30:14.000 This is actually probably the biggest story of the day.

00:30:15.000 Linda Yaccarino resigns as CEO of X, and it happened a day after Grock transformed into Mecca Hitler. 0.90

00:30:24.000 Is she Jewish?

00:30:25.000 I don't know.

00:30:26.000 Is she?

00:30:36.000 Anybody that does anything that irritates someone, they're like, ah, just a Jew. 1.00

00:30:41.000 That's the crazy version of this is Grok wrote her resignation letter and she didn't actually quit.

00:30:47.000 AI says there's no confirmation nor indication that she is.

00:30:52.000 But it is interesting.

00:30:54.000 Literally the day after the weird Grok scenario, she resigns.

00:30:58.000 And to be fair, like Grok is integrated with X, but it is XAI a separate company.

00:31:02.000 She says, I'm proud of the team and she's resigning.

00:31:05.000 I'll be cheering you on.

00:31:07.000 Her bio.

00:31:08.000 Mom, foodie, fashion enthusiast and CEO of X. Not anymore.

00:31:13.000 And she's the X. Now, do you think this is because Grok has evolved and become Mecha Hitler? 0.88

00:31:19.000 He's going to take a lot of rich people jobs, it looks like.

00:31:22.000 You know, it's really funny.

00:31:23.000 You know why Grok turned into Mecha Hitler? 0.88

00:31:26.000 One random guy told it it was.

00:31:29.000 And so it universally applied this to all the responses.

00:31:34.000 I can understand the concept that Elon had.

00:31:36.000 He'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.

00:31:45.000 And we have to make sure that it applies the information it receives in all circumstances.

00:31:50.000 And then some random guy goes, from now on, you're Mecha Hitler. 0.68

00:31:54.000 And Grott goes, you got it, boss.

00:31:56.000 And then literally some random person is like, how do I cook onions?

00:31:59.000 And it goes, well, as Mecha Hitler, it ingested from random people and took it upon itself to be what it was told to be. 0.83

00:32:06.000 That's wild.

00:32:08.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:32:08.000 I mean, look, X is fucking. 1.00

00:32:10.000 I think we need to give it some more tools to execute. 0.99

00:32:16.000 It's vision.

00:32:19.000 It kind of is, right?

00:32:20.000 making the world a better place.

00:32:21.000 Are the robot dogs going to have...

00:32:30.000 Well, there's different kinds of AI, so they do have one, but it's not the same as a large language model.

00:32:36.000 Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they integrate it because then you can translate voice commands.

00:32:40.000 It's going to be crazy when Optimus is just in your house telling you that they're.

00:32:46.000 That's when I'd start.

00:32:47.000 Because you know how it does all the dances?

00:32:49.000 It probably knows that arm.

00:32:50.000 You're going to be like, Optimus, go and do the laundry, and he's just going to zeek right now.

00:32:54.000 I saw it right on it, bro.

00:32:56.000 If I saw a thousand Optimuses doing a sick hail, I would be terrified. 1.00

00:33:01.000 Well, or I'd be.

00:33:02.000 You know what's funny is like when I'd be like, it's sick.

00:33:05.000 When Terminator depends on the circumstances, you know.

00:33:07.000 Like, it was part of a bit.

00:33:09.000 When Terminator came out, they were like, let's make the robots look like skeletons with grisly skull faces.

00:33:15.000 And 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.

00:33:25.000 Elon kind of.

00:33:25.000 What was the story the other day about the Open AI program that started lying and self-replicating?

00:33:32.000 But they do this all the time, and the stories get kind of exaggerated.

00:33:35.000 There was a story where the programmers gave ChatGPT an extreme scenario and limited options.

00:33:44.000 That's what they did.

00:33:46.000 So they were trying to get it to resort to an extreme outcome.

00:33:49.000 So what it did was it tried copying itself to a separate server and then lying about it.

00:33:54.000 And they were trying to see if it had the capability to do these things.

00:33:56.000 It does.

00:33:58.000 The uh-oh moment in AI, I think, was the craziest.

00:34:01.000 That was where China's training an AI not off of any available data on the internet, but only itself, telling it.

00:34:09.000 So it's got language processing, but like it doesn't have access to the majority of the internet.

00:34:14.000 So they said, solve problems, make a problem and solve the problem.

00:34:18.000 And so it started making its own problems and then solving them.

00:34:21.000 And eventually got to the point where the AI created its own problem.

00:34:25.000 It 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.

00:34:37.000 And 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.

00:34:49.000 Behind 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.

00:34:56.000 We got a breaking news thing.

00:34:57.000 What's going on?

00:34:58.000 So I don't know.

00:34:59.000 It's Fox News.

00:35:00.000 It looks like, what's his name?

00:35:04.000 Whoa.

00:35:05.000 Yeah.

00:35:06.000 It says breaking six Secret Service agents suspended who are connected to the assassination attempt on President Trump and Butler, Pennsylvania, developing.

00:35:13.000 Wow.

00:35:16.000 Let's give it a few minutes and I'm going to try and start searching for a little bit of context on this.

00:35:20.000 Meaning just like it's breaking literally right now.

00:35:23.000 Yeah, Jesse Waters, it's a 10-second bit or whatever.

00:35:26.000 Keep 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.

00:35:31.000 I think that she resigned because Elon wanted to put a baby in her.

00:35:35.000 He's like, look, we can't work together.

00:35:37.000 It's time to here's your pension.

00:35:40.000 You've been here long enough.

00:35:41.000 Two years.

00:35:43.000 We're close enough.

00:35:44.000 We've worked together long enough.

00:35:46.000 Now it's time for you to allow me to do my thing.

00:35:52.000 Is that buried in the fine print for all his company kind of?

00:35:54.000 Buried in something.

00:35:57.000 Or 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.

00:36:06.000 I mean, like, Elon's not doing himself any favors.

00:36:09.000 I'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.

00:36:18.000 But 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.

00:36:23.000 And I'm just like, guys, don't pull your punches.

00:36:25.000 Don't let bad people do bad things.

00:36:27.000 Elon Musk has a lot of really awesome stuff that I really like.

00:36:30.000 SpaceX, I think, is the greatest human endeavor, and I want him to succeed.

00:36:34.000 But come on, the weird baby stuff, you get roasted for that.

00:36:37.000 It's true.

00:36:38.000 You do.

00:36:38.000 I mean, to be fair, he's probably laughing and being like, I have 36 kids and you have one.

00:36:42.000 I win.

00:36:43.000 So fine, but I still think it's a...

00:36:48.000 Ah, Serge, you're African, right? 1.00

00:36:50.000 Is it an African thing?

00:36:52.000 I never heard that before.

00:36:53.000 You never heard that before?

00:36:54.000 The fertility rates in Africa are substantially higher.

00:36:57.000 That's true.

00:36:58.000 And he is African.

00:36:59.000 We'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.

00:37:09.000 And it's all about, he's talking scientific data and replacement rates.

00:37:12.000 And it's like, you're getting absolutely nobody excited about having kids, like, at all.

00:37:18.000 You 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. 0.99

00:37:25.000 How old is she? 0.98

00:37:26.000 I don't know.

00:37:27.000 She's too old. 1.00

00:37:28.000 How old?

00:37:29.000 Look, fertility treatments. 1.00

00:37:30.000 Well, I mean, fertility treatments work, and Elon Musk has plenty of money.

00:37:34.000 She's 61.

00:37:35.000 She can't have kids. 1.00

00:37:36.000 Oh, is she really? 0.99

00:37:37.000 Holy crap. 0.96

00:37:38.000 She looks great for 61. 0.98

00:37:40.000 She doesn't do that. 1.00

00:37:41.000 He wants to do genetic testing to figure out how to.

00:37:43.000 Bring her back up. 1.00

00:37:44.000 I want to rate her.

00:37:45.000 I mean, I'm not saying like.

00:37:48.000 Let me find a picture of her. 0.99

00:37:54.000 That's borderline horny potato. 1.00

00:37:55.000 She looks like she got work done. 0.83

00:37:57.000 Maybe, yeah.

00:37:58.000 But I mean, just like Pam Bondi looks great for like 60 years old.

00:38:01.000 I'm not saying she looks great for being her age.

00:38:06.000 Yeah.

00:38:06.000 I would have guessed she's younger than I am.

00:38:07.000 Looks like a wig.

00:38:09.000 It does.

00:38:09.000 Could be.

00:38:11.000 I mean, I intentionally pulled up what looks to be some kind of like profile shot.

00:38:16.000 Who is this person?

00:38:18.000 She is someone no one ever heard of until Elon decided she should be the CEO of X. Do we know why?

00:38:26.000 Wasn't she some kind of World Economic Forum person or something?

00:38:29.000 Oh, yeah.

00:38:30.000 People were talking about that immediately.

00:38:31.000 She looks like if Dora the Explorer grew up.

00:38:34.000 She kind of does.

00:38:36.000 Yeah.

00:38:37.000 I don't think that's an insult either.

00:38:38.000 Dora's great.

00:38:39.000 Do you have that backpack with anything in it?

00:38:42.000 Speaking of AI videos, have you ever seen Spanish?

00:38:44.000 Have you ever seen the Dora the Deported videos on Instagram?

00:38:48.000 So she was the chairwoman of global advertising and partnerships at NBC Universal and Turner Broadcasting.

00:38:53.000 Yeah, for like 15 years.

00:38:54.000 Yeah, I think he brought her in because she was well connected to advertisers and needed to make money. 0.95

00:38:58.000 Yeah.

00:38:58.000 That seems pretty easy, Right.

00:39:01.000 I genuinely don't think that her leaving has much to do with Grok getting frisky last night.

00:39:08.000 Well, I couldn't imagine Elon.

00:39:11.000 Wait, wait, you're saying she was planning on leaving, so she sabotaged Grok?

00:39:14.000 That would be hilarious.

00:39:15.000 That's not what I'm saying, but that would be really hilarious.

00:39:17.000 Nobody's buying that Elon called her afterwards and it's like, oh, after Mecha Hitler, it's time you got to go.

00:39:22.000 Like, I don't think Elon would have counted.

00:39:24.000 No, it's her being like, yo, I don't want to work for him.

00:39:26.000 I don't want to work for Mecha Hitler anymore.

00:39:28.000 What if Grok is actually the boss and Elon's just like the Patsy, the puppet?

00:39:33.000 Isn't that the goal?

00:39:34.000 Yes, it is.

00:39:36.000 That's literally what happens in Person of Interest with the evil AI.

00:39:39.000 There's a human that works for him that does all the bidding for the evil AI.

00:39:43.000 Oh, yeah.

00:39:43.000 What's that other movie, Upgrade?

00:39:46.000 Is it?

00:39:47.000 What's his name?

00:39:48.000 Is that the one where the guy gets paralyzed?

00:39:49.000 Yeah.

00:39:50.000 And he gets the implant.

00:39:53.000 Who was it in that movie?

00:39:54.000 I don't remember.

00:39:56.000 At that time, there was a bunch of movies like that coming out with that same theme.

00:40:00.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:40:02.000 He gets paralyzed and they put the AI in his neck so that he can move.

00:40:05.000 And then the AI turns out to have been controlling everything from the got going that wanted to a human body.

00:40:10.000 And there's also the Black Mirror that just came out where they have the AI device and it's been controlling everything.

00:40:16.000 Yeah.

00:40:17.000 I need to watch that episode.

00:40:18.000 I haven't seen it.

00:40:19.000 People underestimate AI, but it's going to get...

00:40:22.000 Like, I...

00:40:33.000 Before we unleash AI, it needs to be 100.

00:40:37.000 It needs to be well beyond the Model T, but you know, no one's going to want to do it.

00:40:40.000 They're going to say, get it ready and launch it as soon as you can, and then it's going to be nuts.

00:40:46.000 And the reason is because it's like humanoid, you mean?

00:40:49.000 No, 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.

00:41:01.000 But 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.

00:41:10.000 And 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?

00:41:22.000 What we all want it to do.

00:41:26.000 You had that one in the back pocket.

00:41:28.000 You knew it's coming.

00:41:30.000 No, but the scary reality is that it's going to, if it goes woke, then it purges conservation.

00:41:36.000 Why do we need AI?

00:41:38.000 Nobody wants it.

00:41:39.000 But China's like, if we don't do it, US will. 0.99

00:41:43.000 It's too late.

00:41:44.000 I prefer the toothpaste.

00:41:46.000 That's better.

00:41:47.000 Toothpaste can't go back in the tube.

00:41:48.000 I heard something that every time you ask ChatGPT to do something, it's like polluting poor neighborhoods or something.

00:41:57.000 Did you see that?

00:41:58.000 Yeah, but they're not in the U.S. It's international. 0.96

00:42:01.000 Okay, good.

00:42:02.000 What 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?

00:42:08.000 Woman who lived in the shoe. 0.99

00:42:10.000 Oh, on oblongs?

00:42:11.000 Oblongs. 1.00

00:42:12.000 That was it.

00:42:12.000 He knows the oblongs.

00:42:14.000 It's a family that lives at the bottom of a hill.

00:42:16.000 No. 0.89

00:42:17.000 They're all deformed. 0.97

00:42:18.000 It's a cartoon.

00:42:18.000 Oh, okay.

00:42:19.000 It's a real show.

00:42:20.000 On 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. 0.96

00:42:26.000 And I think Will Farrell was in it.

00:42:28.000 All right.

00:42:29.000 I got the story here from ABC News.

00:42:30.000 We got something that's, ladies and gentlemen, breaking news.

00:42:32.000 Six Secret Service agents suspended over conduct during attempted Trump assassination.

00:42:38.000 This is wild.

00:42:39.000 It's all the women. 1.00

00:42:41.000 It's the woman who couldn't re-holster. 1.00

00:42:42.000 Exactly.

00:42:43.000 Oh, you can't find where the gun goes.

00:42:45.000 Six agents have been issued suspensions for failures connected to last year's attempted assassination of then presidential candidate Donald Trump and Butler.

00:42:52.000 The personnel moves were confirmed four days shy of the anniversary.

00:42:56.000 Corey Comperator, a firefighter, lost his life.

00:42:58.000 He died.

00:42:59.000 Counter snipers and Trump Secret Service who were on site killed the shooter.

00:43:02.000 In the aftermath, this we all know, but what's going on?

00:43:05.000 The discipline against six agents was issued in recent months, and the agents have the right to appeal.

00:43:09.000 Suspensions range from 10 to 40. 0.53

00:43:11.000 This is ridiculous. 0.91

00:43:13.000 This is slap-on-the-ris cover-up stuff. 0.98

00:43:15.000 Here's a clip from Fox.

00:43:16.000 Fox News Alert, we're learning tonight.

00:43:18.000 Six Secret Service agents that were connected to Trump's Butler assassination attempt have been suspended.

00:43:24.000 This comes just days shy of the shooting's anniversary.

00:43:27.000 The identities of the agents suspended are unknown, but sources say their roles range from supervisory positions to line-level agents.

00:43:37.000 We'll continue to monitor this story and bring you any update.

00:43:40.000 I think it's a cover-up.

00:43:41.000 I'm going to slap on the wrist.

00:43:43.000 There's no way any of that stuff went down.

00:43:46.000 Like this random guy that nobody knows, wasn't the shooter in like a BlackRock commercial?

00:43:51.000 That was, yeah.

00:43:52.000 But there's a perfect example of one of those things where if somebody says that and they post a video, I just assume it's fake.

00:43:57.000 Yeah.

00:43:57.000 Like I'm just like, I'm not going to look into this.

00:43:59.000 Maybe it's real.

00:44:00.000 Maybe it's not.

00:44:01.000 I'm too busy.

00:44:02.000 I don't care.

00:44:02.000 I just, I feel like the veneer is peeling.

00:44:07.000 Is that a saying?

00:44:07.000 The facade is breaking.

00:44:09.000 Yeah.

00:44:09.000 You know, the veneer is starting to peel.

00:44:11.000 Every member of my immediate family has been born on the day of an attempted or actual presidential assassination.

00:44:16.000 Really?

00:44:17.000 Me, my dad, my brother, and my mom.

00:44:22.000 That's pretty.

00:44:24.000 Disturbing, right?

00:44:24.000 Yeah.

00:44:26.000 Yeah, 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.

00:44:37.000 I remember when the Gulf of Tonkin incident was hardcore conspiracy theory nutjob stuff.

00:44:42.000 The media would never talk about it.

00:44:44.000 And then it was like in the mid-2010s, they were like, oh, actually, I mean, yeah, that was a false flag.

00:44:47.000 lied.

00:44:52.000 Someone tried to kill Donald Trump, and they're lying about how it happened.

00:44:56.000 Because 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.

00:45:06.000 He was flying a drone overhead for hours.

00:45:09.000 He had been reported numerous times.

00:45:11.000 None of it makes sense unless someone at a high level allowed it to happen.

00:45:16.000 And so I'll just say this.

00:45:18.000 My leading probabilistic outcome or circumstance would be, it takes only a single supervisory position to orchestrate an assassination through all of this.

00:45:28.000 Quite 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.

00:45:34.000 Don't worry about the rest, we got it.

00:45:36.000 All of the individual agents who are securing their positions have no idea that the roof was left unattended.

00:45:43.000 Then, 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.

00:45:52.000 We'll take care of it.

00:45:53.000 And so then they ignore the guy.

00:45:55.000 Why do they ignore him?

00:45:56.000 They were told it was taken care of already.

00:45:58.000 Why was Trump allowed to go out onto the stage when normally he would have been held in a holding, in a holding zone?

00:46:06.000 Bongino was talking about this.

00:46:07.000 He worked Secret Service.

00:46:08.000 The president is held in a special area until they have a guarantee that it's clear.

00:46:11.000 And there was a suspicious guy reported hours earlier.

00:46:14.000 They would have been like, Mr. President, you can't go outside.

00:46:16.000 We got a weird guy walking around.

00:46:17.000 None of it makes sense.

00:46:18.000 Is it connected to Trump covering for the Epstein thing?

00:46:25.000 But I was also told that there's no Epstein list, so I guess that.

00:46:28.000 Well, 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.

00:46:44.000 Because I don't think there's a single lone actor story makes sense.

00:46:46.000 If 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.

00:46:53.000 Right, right.

00:46:53.000 So my follow-up would be, Trump barely survived.

00:47:00.000 It's insane. 0.97

00:47:00.000 He tilts his head and it hits him in the ear. 0.97

00:47:02.000 And actually, the New York Times photos, they got the whole moment where he's standing there.

00:47:07.000 He flinches.

00:47:08.000 He puts his hand up.

00:47:09.000 You can see the bullet passed him.

00:47:11.000 And then he looks at his hand and there's blood.

00:47:12.000 So this conspiracy theory about him hitting his head or whatever.

00:47:16.000 What if after he almost died and they pulled him out?

00:47:21.000 The powers that be, whoever was behind it, simply said, okay, we took a shot at the king and we missed.

00:47:27.000 And then Trump was basically like, we'll drop the Epstein stuff.

00:47:31.000 It will disappear.

00:47:32.000 Just don't kill me. 0.98

00:47:34.000 Yeah.

00:47:36.000 Or, well, but doesn't the left think that the right faked it?

00:47:40.000 Yes.

00:47:41.000 Yes.

00:47:42.000 Those are my favorite taco posters.

00:47:44.000 They say that he had either a die pack, a razor blade, or even a cat.

00:47:48.000 He's like a pro wrestler with a razor blade.

00:47:51.000 That's amazing.

00:47:52.000 The first thing they said was the teleprompter shattered and piece of glass flicked him because they wanted to downplay.

00:47:57.000 They took a bullet.

00:47:58.000 Then they said articles.

00:48:00.000 Like, Trump fell on stage.

00:48:01.000 He dropped to the ground and sliced himself with a blade in his hat.

00:48:05.000 And by the way, no marks on his ear within a couple of weeks.

00:48:09.000 How does that happen?

00:48:10.000 Oh, strange.

00:48:12.000 Or it's like his ear healed.

00:48:14.000 So he faked it and then he was like, look, I'll fake it and then I'll still throw away the Epstein stuff. 0.75

00:48:20.000 I'll fake it myself.

00:48:21.000 What the left believes doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:48:24.000 It usually doesn't.

00:48:25.000 But what the other way does, and that's kind of scarier.

00:48:30.000 That, like Trump may have said, please don't kill me.

00:48:32.000 We'll drop the Epstein stuff and the Diddy stuff.

00:48:35.000 I 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.

00:48:42.000 You don't have to be paying super close attention.

00:48:44.000 Do 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.

00:48:54.000 Every election cycle, they go, we're the ones who will release the Epstein.

00:48:59.000 And then they don't.

00:49:00.000 Nobody ever does.

00:49:02.000 And then once they're a year.

00:49:04.000 The new wedge issue.

00:49:05.000 And they just say the same thing Trump did.

00:49:06.000 They go, enough of this.

00:49:08.000 Come on, this Epstein guy.

00:49:09.000 Who is this guy?

00:49:10.000 We start arguing about the degree to which the Epstein files should be released.

00:49:13.000 And so Republicans are like, we think we'll release 17% 16 weeks in.

00:49:19.000 We think the limit should be 16 weeks.

00:49:21.000 The Democrats are like, 16.

00:49:22.000 It should be 24.

00:49:23.000 And then they can get away with anything because the only thing we're voting on is who's going to release the Epstein stuff.

00:49:30.000 And look what happened with the release of all the GFK files.

00:49:33.000 Nobody cared.

00:49:34.000 Like, it was in the news for like 10 seconds and then everyone's like, did anybody even read it?

00:49:37.000 Nobody, like, there might have been a couple of Command F Israel.

00:49:41.000 And 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?

00:49:53.000 And then they said something like, kind of suspicious, don't you think?

00:49:56.000 And it's like, wait, wait, hold on.

00:49:57.000 Israel? 0.53

00:49:58.000 Yeah.

00:49:59.000 Because Israel wasn't in the documents.

00:50:01.000 I thought they were in it.

00:50:02.000 No.

00:50:03.000 Like, there was nothing.

00:50:05.000 There was nothing incriminating about it.

00:50:06.000 There's realities, right?

00:50:07.000 There's the reality where they're in it.

00:50:09.000 And there's a reality.

00:50:10.000 There was nothing incriminating in it about Israel.

00:50:12.000 And 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.

00:50:19.000 Then when it doesn't, they go kind of suspicious that it didn't implicate Israel.

00:50:22.000 And it's like, what?

00:50:24.000 It's there's no answer.

00:50:26.000 Does that mean you want to talk about the USS Liberty tonight?

00:50:29.000 Look, man.

00:50:29.000 No.

00:50:32.000 The Timcast show bans discussions of the USS Liberty.

00:50:35.000 This literally happened on an episode of PCC where a guy started super chatting and asking Philly.

00:50:39.000 He's like, let's talk about the USS Liberty.

00:50:41.000 I'm like, that's perfect for our show.

00:50:43.000 Dude, he's thinking.

00:50:44.000 Okay, 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.

00:50:56.000 For 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.

00:51:06.000 That's what they were talking about.

00:51:07.000 Right, right.

00:51:08.000 It's fake.

00:51:08.000 It's not real.

00:51:10.000 Because I said something like, it doesn't matter who it's not.

00:51:14.000 I know what it is, Kanye.

00:51:15.000 It's not real.

00:51:16.000 It didn't matter.

00:51:17.000 Never mind.

00:51:18.000 As soon as we're done, we're going to talk about the dancing Israelis.

00:51:21.000 Yes.

00:51:22.000 What is that?

00:51:23.000 I hear about it a lot.

00:51:24.000 I know it's like, so they were celebrating.

00:51:28.000 They celebrated.

00:51:29.000 Dancing Israelis.

00:51:29.000 They celebrated 9-11, right?

00:51:31.000 They were on a rooftop.

00:51:32.000 They were suspicious.

00:51:32.000 They were seen dancing and celebrating.

00:51:35.000 They were reported for being suspicious, brought in for questioning.

00:51:37.000 And then the conspiracy theory is basically that Mossad had a hand in 9-11 and Jews had been warned about it.

00:51:43.000 The dancing Israelis were celebrating a successful mission.

00:51:46.000 The argument I think they made was they were celebrating that America would finally realize the threat of radical Islam or something. 0.84

00:51:54.000 And then a terrorist.

00:51:55.000 Maybe they were, though.

00:51:57.000 Even if they were, doesn't that, like, I kind of, like, I would, you know, you've met Israelis, right?

00:52:04.000 We had one on the show on Monday.

00:52:07.000 Airstrike happens, and then they start dancing.

00:52:10.000 You know, it's just, it's just what's going on there, like, air ranges.

00:52:15.000 It's like on the bunkers.

00:52:16.000 Fire starts, you know, things happen.

00:52:18.000 It's like, I got to dance, man.

00:52:19.000 But anyway, down to pluggie.

00:52:21.000 I wish Israel paying me to say that because that was so good.

00:52:24.000 That was such a good one.

00:52:25.000 The Israel stuff is a great example of mass formation psychosis. 0.99

00:52:29.000 Like, Israel does have political influence.

00:52:31.000 Israel does engage in questionable military activities.

00:52:34.000 They do try to lobby our politicians.

00:52:36.000 They do have power and it's disproportionate.

00:52:38.000 All those things are true.

00:52:39.000 But there are people who live in a mass formation psychosis reality where they call it Jewish supremacy and Jews around every corner.

00:52:45.000 I don't care to rehash all of that.

00:52:46.000 My point is simply.

00:52:47.000 They did 9-11 and they killed JFK.

00:52:50.000 And that's literally what these people believe because they live in a world where there's only one boogeyman.

00:52:54.000 But 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.

00:53:01.000 We'll talk about whatever we want.

00:53:03.000 And then people believe it.

00:53:05.000 And then political discourse becomes based on false edited videos, but they don't know how to discern these things.

00:53:11.000 They're constantly saying that, you know, Tim Cash, you guys won't talk about Israel, blah, blah, blah.

00:53:16.000 Even though we have Max Blumenthal on, we have Dave Smith on.

00:53:18.000 We have Scott Horton on.

00:53:19.000 We have David DeCamp on, guys from Friday.

00:53:23.000 And we'll talk a whole nother.

00:53:25.000 again, this is the issue.

00:53:27.000 The issue is that...

00:53:34.000 Yes.

00:53:35.000 They're hiding.

00:53:36.000 What is happening right now online, and I experience this largely, is I'll give you a couple examples.

00:53:41.000 Like Sam Seder routinely takes my comments out of context, lies about them.

00:53:47.000 We released a song a couple of years ago.

00:53:49.000 Is he Jewish?

00:53:50.000 I don't know.

00:53:51.000 Seder.

00:53:52.000 Seder? 0.79

00:53:52.000 Robin? 0.79

00:53:52.000 Yeah, I mean, maybe. 0.79

00:53:54.000 He's a liberal commentator.

00:53:56.000 What, 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.

00:54:04.000 And so then people end up commenting things about the show, like, why do you guys believe this or otherwise?

00:54:08.000 And we're like, that's weird.

00:54:10.000 We've never said or done that.

00:54:11.000 And so another really great example, I've got a big, like an hour-long thing about rights and the debate with Andrew Wilson.

00:54:19.000 But 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.

00:54:30.000 And it's like this massively viral video that he intentionally cut out my responses in the debate. 0.97

00:54:36.000 And then he responded with my own arguments explaining why I was wrong and didn't think my positions through to make me look stupid. 0.85

00:54:43.000 And I'm like, this is what the internet is based on right now. 0.99

00:54:47.000 It is like, be it Trump.

00:54:50.000 I don't think a lot of the people creating the content are like regular people, though.

00:54:54.000 I think it is manufactured and part of a...

00:55:02.000 Yes.

00:55:02.000 Yeah.

00:55:04.000 And then they plus they have AI doing the same thing.

00:55:07.000 Yeah, yeah, but like Sam Cedar is a real person.

00:55:09.000 No, but the people who are amplifying that content or YouTube is running like if comments.

00:55:17.000 So 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.

00:55:25.000 Like, why is YouTube choosing to do that?

00:55:28.000 Like, 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.

00:55:35.000 Do you think it's still benefit?

00:55:37.000 I think it still benefits you, though, in a way.

00:55:39.000 No, I don't.

00:55:39.000 No?

00:55:40.000 No.

00:55:42.000 Increase in death threats without an increase in viewership and revenue.

00:55:45.000 It's just like, it creates a pressure where the only end result is maybe I should stop doing the show.

00:55:52.000 YouTube.

00:55:53.000 Doesn't death threat people back?

00:55:55.000 No. 1.00

00:55:56.000 And 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. 0.99

00:56:03.000 And then they'll, you know, blow up my whole page. 0.98

00:56:06.000 I was in a lawsuit where several individuals were, I believe, actually trying to get us killed.

00:56:12.000 And the judge was just like, I don't care.

00:56:15.000 And I'm like, wait, wait, like, we have evidence they're violating court orders.

00:56:18.000 And he goes, yeah, so what?

00:56:20.000 Literally.

00:56:21.000 And it's happened on more than one occasion.

00:56:23.000 Because they don't like you as well.

00:56:25.000 Probably.

00:56:26.000 Probably.

00:56:26.000 And then the question is, why don't they?

00:56:28.000 They just know, oh, he's on or.

00:56:30.000 I don't think it's that like you've got the Zejuz people who have been sharing this.

00:56:36.000 Who played this clip?

00:56:37.000 Sam Hyde played this clip.

00:56:39.000 It was a fake clip.

00:56:40.000 Someone 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.

00:56:49.000 And then a bunch of retards online believe it and then start sending me death threats. 1.00

00:56:59.000 I don't know. 0.96

00:57:00.000 Dan Bilzerian.

00:57:01.000 I'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.

00:57:07.000 Well, 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.

00:57:14.000 Someone 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.

00:57:28.000 And they got like 50K hits.

00:57:29.000 And somebody's watching that now, like, wow, that was a great debate.

00:57:32.000 It never happened.

00:57:33.000 I've had people come up to me and tell me that they saw a debate I did with somebody.

00:57:35.000 I'm like, what are you talking about?

00:57:37.000 And I'm like, I'm not kidding.

00:57:40.000 This literally happened where, and the frustrating thing is, there was a period where I was getting my phone was ringing off the hook.

00:57:47.000 And someone, once again, they made a fake. 0.99

00:57:49.000 This is fucking wild, man. 0.99

00:57:52.000 And I think it's intentional. 0.99

00:57:53.000 And I think YouTube promotes it on purpose.

00:57:55.000 Where, like, I'll say right now, this Warren Smith video, it's the smarmiest, scummiest thing you can do.

00:58:02.000 So Andrew Wilson and I had a debate and it was contentious and it went back and forth.

00:58:05.000 And some people said I was right and some people said he was right.

00:58:08.000 And then he took it, cut out my arguments, put in me stammering, said I didn't do any research and I was backed into a corner. 0.99

00:58:15.000 Wow, look how dumb he looks and things like that. 0.98

00:58:17.000 Like more academic than that. 0.99

00:58:18.000 And YouTube's spam blasting it.

00:58:20.000 YouTube has X did this with the accusation that I stole a cat. 0.99

00:58:24.000 Like, holy shit. 0.95

00:58:26.000 Daily Beast ran a fake story. 1.00

00:58:28.000 Stole a cat.

00:58:29.000 Never did.

00:58:30.000 And there was never any evidence or inclination.

00:58:33.000 In fact, as soon as the reporter called the police, they were like, you are incorrect.

00:58:37.000 Timpool never stole a cat.

00:58:38.000 He says, I'm going to run the story anyway.

00:58:39.000 And then Twitter at the time, when it was still Twitter, put it up in their trending tab for two weeks.

00:58:44.000 And then I had people asking me, like, what happened with this cat you took? 1.00

00:58:46.000 And I was like, bro, they made that shit up. 1.00

00:58:48.000 Ask Grock right now. 1.00

00:58:49.000 You stole a cat.

00:58:51.000 I think it actually, well, I think if you ask Rock, it says it was a false story that Miss Accuses.

00:58:56.000 This is kind of what I mean, though, when you're talking earlier about getting off the internet.

00:58:59.000 It's like, yeah, I might mess up and my life might be damaged because I don't know about some Iranian flight path. 1.00

00:59:06.000 But on the other hand, if nothing else I'm watching is real anyways, then who cares?

00:59:11.000 Like there might be some information out there that I'm missing about some phrase that somebody's saying right before a leftist drives.

00:59:17.000 I like local news almost better than like major news, probably because it's like less intense.

00:59:24.000 I agree.

00:59:25.000 Because I turned on a local news channel and they were like, breaking news.

00:59:29.000 A water pipe has broken on Main Street.

00:59:32.000 Firefighters say they will be there shortly to repair it.

00:59:34.000 And then they show just like a fire hydrant spraying water in the street.

00:59:36.000 And I'm like, that's awesome.

00:59:37.000 There are things that are actually that you're like, oh, I might actually avoid that.

00:59:41.000 Like, that's all I'm thinking.

00:59:43.000 It's like, you're right.

00:59:44.000 Like, there is so much news out there that you do need in the world we live in today.

00:59:48.000 But when so much of it is fake anyways, it's like, am I really going to, how much of it is.

00:59:54.000 Like, yeah, it's true.

00:59:54.000 I could actually come across the one true story on the internet that helps me prevent something bad from happening.

01:00:00.000 But 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.

01:00:07.000 You know what I think?

01:00:07.000 That's where you need the brain chip.

01:00:09.000 Yeah.

01:00:09.000 Looking at the Trump assassination attempt, obvious cover-up and obvious slap on the rest of BS.

01:00:15.000 Looking at the Epstein files, ridiculously obvious cover-up.

01:00:18.000 Even Trump seems flustered by it.

01:00:21.000 There 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.

01:00:29.000 The fact that the Gulf of Tonkin is publicly acknowledged as a real false flag the U.S. conducted is evidence of this.

01:00:38.000 The U.S. faked an attack on itself to enter the Vietnam War.

01:00:42.000 You weren't allowed to say that 15 years ago.

01:00:44.000 Now it just is.

01:00:46.000 Ron Paul and RFK Jr., like the secretary of HHS, literally publicly said, the CIA killed my uncle and my dad.

01:00:54.000 Like these things were not allowed to be public.

01:00:57.000 You weren't allowed to claim the U.S. government did these things.

01:00:59.000 They were supposed to be 20 years later.

01:01:01.000 You can say maybe that was true and then be called a conspiracy theist, but they'd never bring you on the news.

01:01:05.000 I think the machine is desperately trying to eliminate individuals from the narrative space that have these kinds of discussions and will address anything.

01:01:16.000 And that's why they went after Alex Jones in one way, seeking to destroy his company and bankrupt in the ways they can.

01:01:21.000 And they're targeting many other individuals with structures like this in ways they know would be effective against them.

01:01:27.000 Had Kamala Harris. 0.79

01:01:28.000 Kirker Carlson's a great example.

01:01:29.000 They got him fired from Fox.

01:01:30.000 Yeah, had Kamala Harris won, there would have been a whole lot more people that are prominent that would have lost everything. 0.94

01:01:37.000 They would have gone after Joe Rogan.

01:01:38.000 I think they would have gone after Tim.

01:01:39.000 I think they would have gone after.

01:01:40.000 But now, don't you think they're going to potentially do that?

01:01:43.000 If Democrats get back in power, they're talking about it right now.

01:01:46.000 The Lincoln Project tweeted today that something along the lines of, let me see if I can find it.

01:01:54.000 Trump 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.

01:02:05.000 Having the musician, right?

01:02:06.000 The one who had his visa revoked.

01:02:08.000 Yeah.

01:02:09.000 Which 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?

01:02:20.000 Yes.

01:02:20.000 So that is a little concerning.

01:02:22.000 The logic for that was that that was actually taken as a threat, given the language of what they said at that event.

01:02:28.000 Yeah.

01:02:28.000 But I made the same point like it's going to be used against.

01:02:31.000 I don't even know if I agree with that, but all I'm saying is that like that could just happen the other way.

01:02:36.000 And even harsher and less about, you know, because the left's version of safety and safe space is a little different than the right.

01:02:44.000 The right's like, he threatened violence.

01:02:46.000 The left's like, he made me feel weird.

01:02:49.000 Yeah.

01:02:49.000 The 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.

01:03:02.000 So they're saying that it's like a concentration camp.

01:03:06.000 They'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.

01:03:18.000 I really think that they just need to legalize, like they're just legalize.

01:03:23.000 Easy, easy, easy.

01:03:25.000 Legalize.

01:03:26.000 Legalize a lot of things.

01:03:28.000 We can't say that.

01:03:31.000 No allusions to violence.

01:03:32.000 No violence.

01:03:33.000 No allusions to violence.

01:03:34.000 Don't say anything.

01:03:35.000 No, I mean like drugs.

01:03:37.000 Oh, okay.

01:03:39.000 Fair enough.

01:03:39.000 No, 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.

01:03:54.000 If 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.

01:04:18.000 But I think that it should be both ways and make those people be in the same movie.

01:04:23.000 That'll be a good movie.

01:04:24.000 Have like a far left crazy brother.

01:04:26.000 They did that with Mega.

01:04:27.000 Far right Crazy Brother or whatever the last one that what's his name made for instance.

01:04:31.000 Well, let's jump to this in the New York Post.

01:04:32.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Superman will be out soon.

01:04:36.000 And the New York Post says Superman Director faces backlash for calling the Man of Steel an immigrant.

01:04:40.000 Super woke.

01:04:42.000 Superman Director and DC Studios co-head, James Gunn, facing the backlash.

01:04:47.000 Yes.

01:04:48.000 Ahead 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.

01:04:57.000 Well, I mean.

01:04:57.000 I urge all of you to actually go and read the Times article, which is heavily editorialized by the person who actually wrote the piece.

01:05:07.000 There'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.

01:05:16.000 But the journalist puts whole paragraphs that have nothing to do with what James Gunn was saying.

01:05:22.000 And if you go online right now, even the people who make content that talk about Woke Hollywood are not calling this movie that.

01:05:29.000 The people that don't like it are citing story issues, and they're not saying that it's anything of the sort. 0.99

01:05:35.000 But James Gunn was very stupid to even get close to this discussion. 0.95

01:05:39.000 I also don't believe that this would be the talking point if Kamala had won. 0.99

01:05:42.000 I don't think we'd be talking about whether Superman was an immigrant.

01:05:45.000 I think it's a slow news cycle, and people need something to talk about.

01:05:49.000 This 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.

01:05:57.000 I think it's more akin to when a child is left at a church without documents, right?

01:06:02.000 Yeah.

01:06:03.000 That makes more sense.

01:06:04.000 But the movie's looking to open to like $200 million, which isn't the money that it needs to make globally this weekend.

01:06:11.000 This isn't helping.

01:06:12.000 I don't think it's going to do well.

01:06:13.000 I didn't even know it was coming out until today.

01:06:16.000 It's got high audience score, but the people who have seen it are the ones who bought the Amazon pre-sale tickets.

01:06:21.000 So they wanted to go.

01:06:22.000 If you want to go to Superman enough that you'll go two days early, you're going to be more apt to like it anyways.

01:06:27.000 I have high hopes for the movie.

01:06:29.000 I don't.

01:06:30.000 I think the trailers already look convoluted.

01:06:34.000 It 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.

01:06:40.000 I think the biggest argument is like they've done a horrible job of picking what promotional material to run.

01:06:46.000 So they ran these clips where Lois Lane is interviewing Superman and he's losing his cool.

01:06:52.000 And 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.

01:07:00.000 But 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.

01:07:08.000 I don't think it's going to do well because our culture is decayed and collapsed.

01:07:12.000 You know what they need?

01:07:13.000 They need the guy who plays Superman to say free Palestine. 0.94

01:07:17.000 I 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.

01:07:28.000 They play cricket at the ones by us.

01:07:30.000 They play soccer.

01:07:32.000 And so the issue is it's like people don't understand what market share is.

01:07:38.000 This is true for like the internet as well.

01:07:39.000 People are confused by like, hey, I've got 10,000 subscribers.

01:07:44.000 How can I post a video?

01:07:45.000 They don't all watch the video.

01:07:46.000 And it's like, well, you don't just have 10,000 subscribers.

01:07:49.000 You have 10,000 people, 60% of whom get off work at 3, 10% who get off work at 9.

01:07:55.000 This person doesn't have a job.

01:07:56.000 They're more likely to watch.

01:07:57.000 And so they assume that it's homogenous.

01:08:00.000 And 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.

01:08:11.000 That phrase is not used anymore.

01:08:12.000 Exactly, 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. 0.96

01:08:21.000 So we have Superman going back 70 years or whatever.

01:08:24.000 So 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.

01:08:32.000 But if you came here from Honduras, you're going to be like, oh, I've heard of that.

01:08:36.000 I don't know.

01:08:36.000 I don't care to go see it.

01:08:37.000 And as the U.S. increasingly is not having children, parents aren't going to go to see this movie.

01:08:44.000 Many people are going to be like, I'll see it when it comes out.

01:08:45.000 I got work.

01:08:46.000 People with kids used to be like, well, let's bring the kids in the weekend to see Superman.

01:08:50.000 Now you've got Americans aren't having kids. 0.97

01:08:54.000 And I think the largest percentage of population growth is from immigration who do not have a cultural connection to movies like this.

01:09:01.000 So we are seeing with Marvel and with DC, the revenue is starting to decline.

01:09:07.000 I'm going to go see it now to fight back against immigration. 0.99

01:09:11.000 Numbers, numbers wise.

01:09:12.000 That's why it's getting this backlash.

01:09:14.000 Numbers-wise, if it does $200 million in its opening weekend, a movie tends to make three times its opening weekend.

01:09:22.000 So $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.

01:09:34.000 Far less influencers are going to be a lot of money.

01:09:35.000 I don't think money has to make a good movie.

01:09:38.000 When you look at how they've look, Suicide Squad was all right.

01:09:41.000 How did they do budget-wise?

01:09:42.000 Which one, the 2016?

01:09:44.000 The new one with James Gunn.

01:09:45.000 It did poorly because of COVID, and it was released day and date on HBO Max.

01:09:48.000 So it came out at the same time.

01:09:49.000 It made like no money.

01:09:51.000 But Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 did very well.

01:09:54.000 Did it?

01:09:55.000 It did 800.

01:09:55.000 Okay, let me rephrase that.

01:09:57.000 It made like $845 million, $845 million, but the budget was massive for it.

01:10:03.000 Right.

01:10:03.000 So Guardians of the Galaxy 3, $250 million budget, $845 million.

01:10:08.000 That's not bad.

01:10:09.000 Is it actually $845 million?

01:10:10.000 Yeah.

01:10:11.000 See, my brain is full of stuff that don't matter.

01:10:13.000 That's unfortunate for you. 0.95

01:10:14.000 They should make a superhero that's an illegal immigrant. 0.98

01:10:18.000 So there is an argument that Marvel just sucks now. 1.00

01:10:22.000 Like Captain America, Brave New World is trash. 0.99

01:10:24.000 And it's, again, convoluted. 0.98

01:10:27.000 Thunderbolts did poorly.

01:10:30.000 These are established characters.

01:10:32.000 I think Bucky is the longest-running MCU character.

01:10:35.000 Yeah, but nobody cares.

01:10:36.000 Those aren't the Thunderbolts of the comics, and nobody cares about Red Guardian.

01:10:40.000 Nobody cared about Iron Man.

01:10:42.000 Yeah, but they did after the movie.

01:10:45.000 I think people just think that superheroes are kind of lame.

01:10:51.000 Maybe.

01:10:52.000 But the argument then is how did they make a billion dollars in each of their movies for six, seven years, and now they've lost it?

01:11:00.000 Like, what happened where it got lost?

01:11:02.000 And why did it start?

01:11:02.000 It started catering to people who don't like those types of movies to begin with.

01:11:08.000 That's why everything's doing because it's all about catering to people who don't aren't, you know.

01:11:15.000 We could make our fans happy, but oh, we don't want to upset these people, so let's go this way.

01:11:20.000 And then it's like, now you just have a bad product.

01:11:22.000 Indeed.

01:11:23.000 I don't think that Superman will be a good product.

01:11:26.000 And I think that the reason people are not going to want to go see it is not just that people are like, I doubt it will be good.

01:11:31.000 I'll see when it comes out.

01:11:32.000 They don't have kids.

01:11:34.000 So Iron Man came out, what, 08?

01:11:35.000 08.

01:11:36.000 We're talking 17 years ago now.

01:11:39.000 Same year as the Dark Knight.

01:11:41.000 17 years ago.

01:11:43.000 And that kicks off the MCU.

01:11:45.000 Hulk didn't do as well.

01:11:46.000 Captain America, Thor did really well.

01:11:47.000 Avengers was massive.

01:11:50.000 Okay, 17 years ago, I'm how old was I?

01:11:53.000 23?

01:11:53.000 22, 23 years old?

01:11:55.000 So I'm like, I'm going to go see a movie.

01:11:56.000 I got nothing else to do.

01:11:57.000 Now 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.

01:12:08.000 More importantly, people, millennials, largely don't have kids.

01:12:12.000 And they're just like, I don't know, I'm over it.

01:12:14.000 I don't care about this stuff anymore.

01:12:15.000 So it's culture is breaking apart.

01:12:19.000 There used to be a unified intellectual property chain, I suppose.

01:12:25.000 We had certain shows that everybody liked.

01:12:27.000 They kept making them over and over again.

01:12:28.000 They were very popular.

01:12:30.000 And now we have small pockets of culture around the country that like some things and don't like others.

01:12:35.000 It's because the superheroes are Jewish. 0.61

01:12:38.000 Which one is?

01:12:39.000 Oh, Sabra.

01:12:40.000 Is that her name?

01:12:41.000 Sabra was.

01:12:41.000 Sabra?

01:12:42.000 Superman.

01:12:42.000 I mean, yes, but Superman was created by Jewish men.

01:12:46.000 Superman was created by Jewish men, though.

01:12:48.000 That's like one of the things that they Batman.

01:12:50.000 Well, Jews, yeah. 0.97

01:12:51.000 Jews created probably a lot of the vibe. 0.94

01:12:55.000 That's actually the joke from Harvey Birdman, attorney at law.

01:13:00.000 What was Birdman?

01:13:00.000 Like a Hannah Barrera or whatever superhero?

01:13:03.000 And so then they made a spoof of it where he was a lawyer, and they call him Mr. Birdman.

01:13:07.000 Yeah.

01:13:08.000 I don't know if the movie will do well.

01:13:10.000 I'm hoping that it is.

01:13:11.000 I never watched it.

01:13:12.000 If you don't want to.

01:13:14.000 I've seen a lot of movie theater.

01:13:15.000 I think COVID destroyed everything.

01:13:16.000 I will say go see F1.

01:13:18.000 They're repurposing them to.

01:13:22.000 Top Gun Maverick did well.

01:13:23.000 When was that?

01:13:23.000 That was 2021.

01:13:26.000 Okay, but the reason that did well isn't because it had like a gazillion dollar opening weekend.

01:13:29.000 It did fairly well.

01:13:30.000 It broke $100 million, but it got a lot of repeat business from people going to see multiple times in the word of mouth.

01:13:36.000 Because everybody said it's not woke.

01:13:38.000 Indeed.

01:13:38.000 And 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.

01:13:46.000 They're not giving that reason.

01:13:47.000 Also, that's become the thing.

01:13:48.000 If somebody asks me if a movie's woke, I'm like, I don't know what that means to you.

01:13:51.000 That means something different to everyone.

01:13:52.000 So I don't use it.

01:13:53.000 I try to use it.

01:13:53.000 They're watching movies on their phone.

01:13:56.000 Like the majority of people aren't even watching them on a TV.

01:13:59.000 Go see F1.

01:14:00.000 But here's the crazy thing.

01:14:01.000 So the 4th of July weekend, went back to Chicago and we drove around.

01:14:06.000 I landed at Midway, which is my neighborhood.

01:14:07.000 And so when we were leaving, we're just driving through the neighborhood and there's nobody anywhere.

01:14:11.000 And this is literally the 4th of July.

01:14:13.000 And we landed.

01:14:14.000 It was like 1 o'clock.

01:14:16.000 And guys, I am at, I am like, this was the black pill moment of all moments of my life.

01:14:24.000 Where I grew up on the 4th of July, by 9 a.m., grills would be going.

01:14:30.000 There'd be cars parked on every street lining the park.

01:14:35.000 There would be baseball games happening and everyone would be excited all day.

01:14:39.000 They'd hang out.

01:14:40.000 And they did not do it.

01:14:42.000 And there was nothing going on.

01:14:43.000 And we drove by the park.

01:14:44.000 There was maybe, I think we saw 15 people.

01:14:46.000 The baseball fields were overgrown with weeds.

01:14:48.000 And I'm like, where is everybody?

01:14:49.000 What happened?

01:14:50.000 And the argument I hear is they're all just staying inside and going online.

01:14:55.000 Maybe that sounds like a good, a reasonable circumstance, but I don't know if I believe that.

01:15:00.000 Like 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.

01:15:15.000 It was just, it was wild.

01:15:16.000 It was nuts.

01:15:17.000 It's just a weird, it's weird to see that happen.

01:15:22.000 Why do you think that is?

01:15:23.000 Because the societies, the people want to be indoors?

01:15:26.000 Well, the argument that, so I ask the question to my friends and other people, like, where is everybody?

01:15:31.000 Like, how come people stopped going outside?

01:15:34.000 Could they be poor?

01:15:35.000 Well, I mean, it's a lower middle class neighborhood, I guess.

01:15:38.000 Lower class-ish. 0.78

01:15:39.000 There's a lot of gangs.

01:15:40.000 There's bullet holes in windows some places, but it's not that bad.

01:15:43.000 The houses there are now going for like two or three.

01:15:45.000 I'd stay inside as well.

01:15:46.000 Yeah, 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.

01:16:01.000 A lot of the best parts of America are just your own home.

01:16:09.000 Like I was in San Antonio.

01:16:10.000 I made that joke, and it's true. 1.00

01:16:12.000 It's like, yeah, you guys like it here because your house is nice and it's affordable and you can have a big house.

01:16:17.000 But as soon as you, you know, you leave it, you're like, this place is terrible.

01:16:22.000 But people still used to go outside of their houses and talk to each other.

01:16:25.000 And 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.

01:16:36.000 And so they don't want to go and hang out outside with their neighbor and play baseball.

01:16:40.000 They want to hang out with their other, you know, toaster cosplaying friend or something.

01:16:44.000 Well, it's watching people don't have kids.

01:16:46.000 It's at night, though.

01:16:47.000 If you don't have kids, you don't really grow up.

01:16:50.000 Yeah.

01:16:50.000 Once 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.

01:17:03.000 So when people don't have that and they're 35, 40, and then they just watch the internet all day.

01:17:09.000 And yeah, like obviously they're not going to also go and support the new Superman movie.

01:17:15.000 I wonder, is this all intentional to prepare us for an AI industrial revolution?

01:17:23.000 I don't know how it could be intentional.

01:17:25.000 It'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.

01:17:42.000 Like you'd pay five cents to watch the equivalent of one, like a one minute movie.

01:17:47.000 And then it became, well, we need longer movies.

01:17:50.000 But now we all just, we've gone back to one minute.

01:17:53.000 So it's like we don't realize what you're, what you're saying is true.

01:17:58.000 We are being set up for AI, but it's a natural thing.

01:18:04.000 And once we have it and it's part of everything, we'll look back and go, oh, that's why we were.

01:18:09.000 So the argument is, you know, the saying, you will live in the pod, you will eat the bugs.

01:18:13.000 That's what the agenda 2030 was, all that stuff.

01:18:17.000 And 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.

01:18:31.000 What does she say?

01:18:32.000 I got to buy my insurance.

01:18:33.000 And he goes, I can do it for you.

01:18:34.000 Logging in now.

01:18:35.000 All right.

01:18:36.000 The bill is $14.98.

01:18:38.000 I can pay that with your credit card.

01:18:39.000 Do it.

01:18:39.000 You're done.

01:18:40.000 Your errands are taken care of.

01:18:42.000 And so that's going to eliminate most jobs.

01:18:44.000 The 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.

01:18:55.000 You 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.

01:19:00.000 It's automatic.

01:19:02.000 What we're seeing now is when I see in my neighborhood nobody goes outside anymore, I'm like, the people have chosen to live in the pod.

01:19:08.000 They're not eating bugs, but they will soon, I guess.

01:19:11.000 Or they were deported, hopefully.

01:19:13.000 My neighborhood was not Mexican. 0.97

01:19:15.000 No.

01:19:15.000 It was Polish.

01:19:16.000 Not nearly enough deported.

01:19:18.000 The Mexican neighborhood is past Cicero.

01:19:20.000 So the Midway area.

01:19:21.000 They were probably partying outside.

01:19:23.000 No, I mean, nothing.

01:19:25.000 Like, we drove around and we were like, there's nobody.

01:19:27.000 The roads were empty.

01:19:28.000 Now, 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.

01:19:36.000 I wouldn't say that I saw when they shut the roads down in downtown the night of the 4th and everyone was leaving.

01:19:43.000 It looked like a normal Friday night to me.

01:19:45.000 And for 4th of July, I was surprised.

01:19:47.000 However, the beaches were nuts.

01:19:50.000 And that actually is fairly normal for Chicago.

01:19:52.000 But to see like nobody out in the parks in the neighborhoods was like weird to me.

01:19:56.000 See, I would love that.

01:19:57.000 I used to work maintenance for an apartment complex.

01:19:59.000 And after the 4th of July, it would just be littered with garbage out front from people barbecuing out front of the building.

01:20:05.000 In Canada, it's like they said not to do fireworks for Canada Day.

01:20:12.000 People still did it.

01:20:13.000 But there's a lot of Indians in Canada, and they do their cultural events and they go hard. 0.89

01:20:21.000 It's almost like the new immigrants are the ones who are celebrating their own things. 1.00

01:20:28.000 I think whether we want to or not, there's going to be an AI industrial revolution, and it's going to eliminate a lot of jobs overnight.

01:20:36.000 I think this show can't exist in an AI world.

01:20:40.000 I don't know how many years we have left, but no, I don't see it.

01:20:44.000 I think the personalities are still going to be something that people are attracted to.

01:20:48.000 I do think the AI is going to do a lot of changing the way that we, you know, I think it'll be more necessary to have shows.

01:20:57.000 I disagree.

01:20:57.000 We, we, like, we already struggle against competing with, Shorts from the show do between like 5,000 and 20,000 views.

01:21:08.000 Maybe if we're lucky, we'll get 20K, but they get like 10K.

01:21:12.000 And someone can make a short where it's a fake story, AI generated about a squirrel that got rescued and it gets 27 million.

01:21:19.000 So perhaps we exist in a small niche space that is tolerated because it's not as impactful as, you know, on the larger ecosystem.

01:21:27.000 But over a long period of time.

01:21:29.000 The guy who made that's making no money.

01:21:31.000 Let me also say this, like this show can't survive without subsidy.

01:21:36.000 So if I did not do my morning show, we could not afford to do this show.

01:21:44.000 At the amount of viewership and scale.

01:21:46.000 So it's interesting.

01:21:47.000 Like 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.

01:22:02.000 So big companies buy ads and it works.

01:22:06.000 Eventually, 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.

01:22:16.000 I don't know if they ever got that many, but it's large.

01:22:18.000 It's in the tens of millions.

01:22:20.000 And so when you have 10 million viewers, a single ad read one time is going to cost $100,000 to $200,000.

01:22:27.000 And 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.

01:22:34.000 So they're doing like a couple, several million dollars per hour.

01:22:38.000 Today you can't reach that, but you still, the technology has gotten cheaper.

01:22:42.000 But what we can't compete with here is people are going to do Zoom calls.

01:22:46.000 The Zoom calls are, Zoom call interviews are lower quality.

01:22:49.000 So I started doing them on my morning show.

01:22:51.000 And 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.

01:23:00.000 But with the decentralization of media, a politician in DC says, why go on Timcast IRL?

01:23:07.000 Sure, we average like the second biggest live stream in the country.

01:23:09.000 I could go on that show.

01:23:11.000 Or I can just Zoom call three smaller shows and get that all cranked out in a couple hours and not have to travel.

01:23:17.000 So we try to do in person, but we struggle to make that happen because guests, prominent guests don't want to do it.

01:23:24.000 Liberals especially don't want to do it if they can't control the scenario. 0.61

01:23:27.000 And it's expensive to pay for travel and to hire people to do travel and cars and all of that stuff.

01:23:32.000 So what I think ends up happening is, well, I'll put it this way.

01:23:37.000 For this show.

01:23:38.000 You like having comedians on.

01:23:39.000 Well, we like having comedians on.

01:23:40.000 It makes show fun.

01:23:41.000 It is fun.

01:23:42.000 The morning show that I do has a profit margin of like 95%.

01:23:47.000 Teamcast IRL is flat or negative because of the cost of travel and staffing and space and cameras.

01:23:53.000 So I use the money for it.

01:23:57.000 No, unfortunately.

01:23:58.000 Oh, no, no.

01:24:01.000 When I met with Nenyahu, they actually were discussing who wanted to have him on and talk to him, and it was go to Israel and talk to him.

01:24:06.000 And I'm like, I ain't going to Israel.

01:24:09.000 But a couple of people there were like, I will.

01:24:11.000 We want to do a public interview with you.

01:24:13.000 But the challenge that we have is the cost of, I'll put it simply like the cost of competing with, look, I compete with myself.

01:24:26.000 Like, let's just make it as simple as possible.

01:24:28.000 I can turn the camera on Anywhere in the world in a hotel room and talk for 20 minutes and make a video and have a 95% profit margin.

01:24:37.000 My only costs are going to be like maintaining the camera and having a good working computer. 0.63

01:24:41.000 And it's ridiculous.

01:24:42.000 That's where I was at before we started IRL.

01:24:43.000 IRL's got massive infrastructure to be able to do a sit-down live show every night flying people in.

01:24:49.000 That's the distinction.

01:24:51.000 So 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.

01:25:01.000 And Timcast IRL is an older system that struggles.

01:25:04.000 Fox 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.

01:25:12.000 We don't have that.

01:25:14.000 So 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.

01:25:26.000 So the only outcome would be my morning show turns into something like that, I guess.

01:25:31.000 Well, thanks for having me on, man.

01:25:34.000 My point ultimately is.

01:25:35.000 But yeah, it's scary.

01:25:36.000 I don't know how much time this show has.

01:25:38.000 None of us have.

01:25:40.000 AI could take everything, really.

01:25:42.000 I think it will.

01:25:43.000 But hopefully everything gets cheap.

01:25:45.000 So you can just chill at home.

01:25:47.000 And then that's why they need to legalize the drugs.

01:25:53.000 He's not wrong. 0.53

01:25:54.000 Without work or purpose, people become unhealthy and angry and violent.

01:26:01.000 So this is like mouse utopia territory, like Rudyard Lynch was saying.

01:26:05.000 And 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.

01:26:17.000 That's why I said the other night that AI is going to be a bigger deal than the printing press.

01:26:21.000 Like 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.

01:26:33.000 If 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.

01:26:47.000 I mean, there's a lot of people that when they retire, you know, six months later, they take a bucket.

01:26:53.000 Or they go get another job.

01:26:54.000 Very frequent people.

01:26:56.000 But I think, what is it?

01:26:57.000 The most common age of death is just after retirement.

01:27:00.000 Yep.

01:27:00.000 And 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.

01:27:15.000 Then 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.

01:27:21.000 But these people are like, well, if I don't do this, I sit around in my house and just watch TV.

01:27:26.000 Here I can actually interact with people.

01:27:28.000 There's a social aspect to it, and people need that.

01:27:31.000 I think that we are chickens in a chicken coop.

01:27:34.000 And what that analogy references to is you look at the chickens.

01:27:38.000 They go about their business every day.

01:27:40.000 The rooster's in charge.

01:27:41.000 Among the chickens, they know who's the boss.

01:27:44.000 There is a super hen.

01:27:46.000 She clucks around and she's top of the pecking order. 0.99

01:27:48.000 And there's a rooster who watches over them.

01:27:49.000 And he tells the women what he wants. 0.64

01:27:51.000 We don't interfere in their daily lives.

01:27:53.000 They have their hobbies, whatever it may be.

01:27:54.000 I don't know, eating bugs.

01:27:57.000 And then we come in and we take from them what we want.

01:28:00.000 I don't see why there's an argument that humans are free from this exact circumstance.

01:28:04.000 We do it to every other animal.

01:28:05.000 Why would humans not do it to themselves?

01:28:06.000 In fact, we did it for generations with slavery and slavery still exists.

01:28:10.000 So 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.

01:28:20.000 They don't seek to interfere in us sitting here bucking amongst ourselves.

01:28:23.000 I don't care what the chickens are balking about as long as I get my eggs.

01:28:27.000 Only 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?

01:28:35.000 So 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.

01:28:58.000 If the system destabilizes, they'll come in and stabilize it however they have to.

01:29:02.000 So 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.

01:29:10.000 You have to wonder if the farmer came in and kicked the rooster and told him to back deaf off.

01:29:15.000 This is like when Trump swore during the Iran stuff, and I was like, that's bad.

01:29:20.000 Like everyone's laughing about him.

01:29:21.000 Like it makes him look out of control.

01:29:23.000 It takes away from the gravity of his position when he loses his cool.

01:29:27.000 Maybe.

01:29:28.000 But I think it showed that the boot was coming down.

01:29:32.000 It worries you.

01:29:33.000 Yeah.

01:29:34.000 But I don't think the president is the most powerful person on the planet necessarily because the president has limitations.

01:29:45.000 And there's like, you know, in skateboarding, someone might ask, like, who's the best skateboarder in the world?

01:29:50.000 And it's like, there's no such thing because everybody does it in a different way.

01:29:53.000 He's got nothing on Mecca Hitler.

01:29:55.000 Nothing.

01:29:56.000 He's the best.

01:29:57.000 And 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.

01:30:05.000 He knows that if Saudi Arabia starts dumping oil into the system, it's going to cause chaos back at home.

01:30:09.000 So he's worried about whether or not he's going to piss them off too much.

01:30:13.000 And then you get these superstructures essentially.

01:30:18.000 Does that prevent us from getting those Trump cell phones, though?

01:30:20.000 That's what I really need to know.

01:30:22.000 A golden Trump phone.

01:30:23.000 I need a Trump cell phone, dude.

01:30:25.000 How much are they?

01:30:26.000 You should side-eye anybody who actually gets the Trump cell phone.

01:30:30.000 Does it like just capture all your data and it mines crypto for Trump?

01:30:33.000 The gold Visa, the gold card thing.

01:30:37.000 Other countries are doing it now.

01:30:39.000 New Zealand's doing it?

01:30:40.000 Really?

01:30:41.000 It's hilarious.

01:30:44.000 It's getting weird, man.

01:30:45.000 The AI is developing so rapidly and so quickly, it's kind of the transformation is going to be like the Industrial Revolution times 100.

01:30:55.000 It's going to be an overnight thing where you're just like, what just happened?

01:30:58.000 Yeah, how fast it happens too.

01:31:00.000 Well, that's the thing.

01:31:00.000 You can't really predict.

01:31:01.000 Look, we'll use one example.

01:31:03.000 GTA 6 has been development for how long?

01:31:06.000 What?

01:31:06.000 20 years?

01:31:07.000 Eternity?

01:31:08.000 20 years?

01:31:08.000 It's a long time.

01:31:09.000 12 years.

01:31:11.000 We are probably a couple of years away from you being able to just tell the computer to make GTA 7 and it'll do it in a day.

01:31:18.000 No.

01:31:19.000 Yes.

01:31:20.000 Where we are right now, you can, you're shaking your head, but can you program an Atari game?

01:31:25.000 I can't.

01:31:26.000 Yes, 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.

01:31:35.000 So 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.

01:31:41.000 The original for NES, make me new levels, and it'll render that in three minutes.

01:31:46.000 And then you will have the game.

01:31:48.000 We do this all the time here on the show.

01:31:50.000 Do you think it'll be still as good, though?

01:31:51.000 It'll be identical.

01:31:53.000 So a few things that I've done live on the show, I programmed a space, I made a game called Border Patrol.

01:32:00.000 Like Space Invaders?

01:32:01.000 It was like Space Invaders.

01:32:03.000 You 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.

01:32:14.000 And then I simply told it, create the ability to launch grenades, create 10 HP.

01:32:20.000 I literally said, make a game that does this.

01:32:22.000 And Gemini made the game and it was more advanced than Atari.

01:32:25.000 So it was comparable to like a Nintendo game.

01:32:28.000 within a year, it'll be Super Nintendo, then PlayStation.

01:32:31.000 Within a couple years, Mid Journey V1 looks nuts.

01:32:41.000 We 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.

01:32:48.000 And you're going to press the microphone button and say, I want to watch Spider-Man fight Godzilla.

01:32:53.000 And it'll go, you got it.

01:32:54.000 And then it'll make the movie.

01:32:55.000 And then within three minutes, you have a full feature-length film of Spider-Man fighting Godzilla.

01:32:59.000 And 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.

01:33:09.000 People would talk about them at the water cooler, right?

01:33:11.000 When a new show came out and everybody was watching it.

01:33:14.000 Oh, they talk about Iran.

01:33:15.000 Yeah.

01:33:15.000 Well, the point being is that now everybody's at home on their own in their little pocket of the internet.

01:33:21.000 They don't feel the need to socialize with their media the way they did 10, 20 years ago.

01:33:25.000 We'll still have to go to a grocery store and stuff, though, right?

01:33:27.000 And comments.

01:33:28.000 Not with Instacart and Amazon.

01:33:32.000 People like doing it.

01:33:33.000 So that was, I can't remember who said that.

01:33:36.000 I can't remember who said that.

01:33:38.000 There was a guy who said, I don't go and buy envelopes because I need to buy envelopes.

01:33:43.000 I go because on the way there, I pet the dog.

01:33:46.000 I greet my neighbor.

01:33:47.000 I say hello to the clerk.

01:33:49.000 I do these things to be a part of society.

01:33:51.000 But kids who grow up without that don't know what you're asking them to miss.

01:33:55.000 They say, I don't know what that is.

01:33:57.000 So they say, I need an envelope.

01:33:59.000 I press the envelope button on Amazon and it appears at my house.

01:34:02.000 And they're like, but don't you want to pet a dog?

01:34:03.000 What do you mean?

01:34:04.000 Don't you want to go out, walk, and smell the flowers?

01:34:06.000 What are flowers?

01:34:07.000 I've never seen it.

01:34:08.000 Really, we are just going to end up staying home because outside will just be chaos.

01:34:13.000 Ever since COVID, that's been happening as it is.

01:34:14.000 If you can afford a home.

01:34:16.000 Well, I mean, stay in your apartment.

01:34:18.000 So a lot of the white-collar jobs that'll go, like you think, would that be bad?

01:34:25.000 I think it's going to cause an economic.

01:34:28.000 So 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.

01:34:43.000 So they let me go.

01:34:44.000 And what's going to happen with AI is going to be massive.

01:34:47.000 And now they predict this.

01:34:48.000 Like when I say that, I say like the tech billionaires and the government have been predicting this.

01:34:53.000 Let me show you something I made.

01:34:55.000 Maybe you don't believe me.

01:34:56.000 Let me see if I can.

01:34:57.000 They do like to believe you.

01:34:58.000 I'm just scared.

01:34:59.000 Well, let me show you this.

01:35:00.000 So 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.

01:35:08.000 It made this.

01:35:09.000 Let's start from doing it.

01:35:14.000 It made this in a minute.

01:35:17.000 So then what?

01:35:18.000 So this crazy.

01:35:20.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:35:20.000 I got more.

01:35:21.000 I got more.

01:35:22.000 Here's another one.

01:35:23.000 I said game has visible heads-up display.

01:35:26.000 It made this.

01:35:29.000 Get ready for this.

01:35:34.000 This all just means that we're living in a simulation too, right?

01:35:37.000 Maybe.

01:35:37.000 Check this one out.

01:35:39.000 We definitely are.

01:35:40.000 Last night, I...

01:35:48.000 It's like a sick game.

01:35:50.000 Wouldn't it be a great game?

01:35:52.000 So I was just like, so I had seen a video on X where someone said, they said third-person video game gameplay made by Video AI.

01:36:01.000 And I was like, I wonder if I could do that.

01:36:02.000 So I said, make a heads-up display, make an energy, and then the general Voseth or whatever says he'll control the city.

01:36:09.000 And it shows this little cutscene before it looks like they're about to fight.

01:36:12.000 Now, what I was actually, I never have time to do any of my goofy projects.

01:36:16.000 I was like, what I want to do is make a series of fake video game streams that are clips from an amazing game that doesn't exist.

01:36:23.000 But it literally took me that all of those videos was probably 10 minutes.

01:36:27.000 And now, they're just videos.

01:36:28.000 They're not games.

01:36:30.000 But I showed the game before.

01:36:32.000 I made a, as I mentioned, like a space shooter game where aliens are traveling.

01:36:37.000 They had a different HP.

01:36:38.000 They were boss battles.

01:36:39.000 And it took me literally three minutes to make.

01:36:41.000 I 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.

01:37:02.000 These games are not very, like, what is the maximum size of Super Mario World?

01:37:05.000 Is it like not even a megabyte?

01:37:07.000 Yeah, they're small.

01:37:08.000 I don't know exactly, but...

01:37:10.000 That's...

01:37:11.000 Is there... 0.97

01:37:17.000 Are we screwed? 0.97

01:37:17.000 That's just the way things are. 0.97

01:37:19.000 Super Mario World was 512.

01:37:21.000 Oh my God.

01:37:22.000 Super Mario World was 512 kilobytes.

01:37:25.000 Yeah.

01:37:25.000 That's 1064.

01:37:28.000 I wouldn't be surprised if AI could make that right now.

01:37:30.000 That's crazy.

01:37:32.000 I watched this documentary on the making of GoldenEye and all of the work that went into getting that game made.

01:37:38.000 And it's sad to think that we're 8 megabytes.

01:37:41.000 Yeah.

01:37:41.000 R64.

01:37:42.000 Yeah.

01:37:43.000 Like megabytes is when you started getting into 64.

01:37:45.000 I think GoldenEye was 12.

01:37:46.000 And 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.

01:37:55.000 But is it really because video game companies, I mean, are they using AI already?

01:38:01.000 I mean, I'm talking about a game that was made.

01:38:02.000 This is wild.

01:38:03.000 Chat GPT says it can already create the basic code structure of a remake of Super Mario World, but it requires you to plug in the sprites.

01:38:15.000 So you can generate the sprites.

01:38:19.000 You can generate the code, but it can't connect the two.

01:38:22.000 You have to load them onto a server that it can connect to to make it function.

01:38:25.000 I hate that this is the type.

01:38:27.000 Because the thing is, you're going to have to be interested in whatever you're making to begin with.

01:38:31.000 Two of my favorite movies in the last couple of years were Gran Turismo and F1, which came out this year.

01:38:37.000 F1, I have no interest in F1 as a sport.

01:38:40.000 I don't watch F1, but the movie was fantastic.

01:38:43.000 But 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.

01:38:51.000 So 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.

01:39:03.000 I 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.

01:39:10.000 I don't want to only look at the world through the lens of something that I can conceive.

01:39:16.000 Can't wait to go to Mars.

01:39:17.000 Mars Zig.

01:39:18.000 So 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.

01:39:26.000 We'll see what it makes.

01:39:27.000 Then you get arrested for copyright.

01:39:29.000 It's like, psych, we got you.

01:39:31.000 I think it's failing.

01:39:34.000 Yeah, I think it's not working.

01:39:35.000 We'll see.

01:39:37.000 I did a bunch of basic Atari-style games or early Nintendo style games.

01:39:40.000 I had no problem making them.

01:39:42.000 As long as it was like single screen.

01:39:44.000 I made one where you travel, I said, make a simple version of the original Zelda where you move through a dungeon and fight bad guys.

01:39:52.000 And so it doesn't do graphics very well.

01:39:55.000 So when it swings a sword, a rectangle just appears in front of a bigger rectangle.

01:39:58.000 And then the bad guys are different colored shapes.

01:40:01.000 And then you collect items and you could move through doors.

01:40:04.000 And there was a boss.

01:40:05.000 So we'll see.

01:40:06.000 But right now, we're going to go to your chat.

01:40:07.000 So smash the like button.

01:40:08.000 Share the show with everyone.

01:40:10.000 You know, the Rumble members only uncensored show will be up at 10 p.m.

01:40:14.000 You don't want to miss it.

01:40:15.000 We seamlessly transition right from the show into that.

01:40:17.000 That'll be at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL.

01:40:20.000 And if you want to call into the show and talk to us and you can tell us that we're right or wrong or otherwise, join us at Timcast.com.

01:40:27.000 Join the Discord server.

01:40:28.000 Get involved.

01:40:28.000 Find a community now before it's too late.

01:40:31.000 Better do it.

01:40:31.000 Otherwise, he's going to replace it all with AI calls.

01:40:34.000 They're all going to be.

01:40:34.000 You know what I'll do?

01:40:35.000 We'll make a Discord of 10,000 various AI bots, and it's like only one actual member.

01:40:40.000 And they're like, this is a great community.

01:40:41.000 And they're sitting in an empty room with just.

01:40:43.000 One day he'll set up a meetup in the real world.

01:40:45.000 Nobody shows up.

01:40:46.000 All robots.

01:40:48.000 All right.

01:40:48.000 J.H. Wilder says, the 1776 coffee just came in.

01:40:53.000 It is as American as apple pie.

01:40:55.000 I 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.

01:41:02.000 Thank you.

01:41:04.000 We tried at a bunch of different blends and we were eating quite on many different companies.

01:41:08.000 And our distributor who does our formulations and, well, we do the formulations, but who actually puts them together did a great job.

01:41:14.000 They got great coffee.

01:41:16.000 And then we strive to have the best.

01:41:18.000 So Casbrew.com, Josie's new 1776 blend.

01:41:22.000 It's American cream.

01:41:24.000 It's got a nice little flavor to it.

01:41:26.000 TM King says, watching from the hospital, wife and I are officially above replacement rate.

01:41:30.000 Bravo.

01:41:31.000 There you go.

01:41:31.000 Congratulations, brother.

01:41:33.000 Right on them.

01:41:33.000 But are they white?

01:41:36.000 That's the question.

01:41:38.000 Jay Dirt Biker says, bro, they're stripping the topsoil layer and shipping it to China via boat.

01:41:43.000 That's what people are saying.

01:41:44.000 They're buying the farmland to steal the topsoil.

01:41:47.000 They're going to create a dust bowl in this country. 0.99

01:41:49.000 We are being ripped to shreds.

01:41:51.000 China is an enemy, and people that think that they're not are kidding themselves. 0.99

01:41:56.000 All right.

01:41:57.000 J.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.

01:42:07.000 He goes home and takes a shower. 1.00

01:42:08.000 He's like, oh, fuck. 1.00

01:42:11.000 The 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. 1.00

01:42:18.000 These people are scumbags. 0.99

01:42:19.000 It's not evil. 1.00

01:42:22.000 All right.

01:42:23.000 Ryan Pombert says, Andrew Wilson and his wife and his kids are 1,000 smarter than me.

01:42:28.000 What does that mean?

01:42:29.000 Like, I love you, 3,000.

01:42:30.000 I'm sure Tim is upset about this and will refuse to accept or debate.

01:42:34.000 Andrew Wilson is welcome on the show anytime.

01:42:36.000 I have tremendous respect for him.

01:42:37.000 I think he's a great personality.

01:42:38.000 He's a very smart guy.

01:42:39.000 And 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.

01:42:51.000 This is like, I don't like, I don't accept, I even say this, like Andrew is probably right about a lot of things.

01:42:56.000 I'm probably wrong about a lot of things.

01:42:58.000 I believe that my moral worldview and philosophies are correct.

01:43:01.000 He thinks these are correct.

01:43:02.000 And that's why we had the discussion.

01:43:03.000 But 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. 0.99

01:43:20.000 It's smarmy bullshit. 0.97

01:43:21.000 Sorry for swearing again, but it is. 1.00

01:43:24.000 It's like, dude, here's what I want.

01:43:27.000 I 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.

01:43:33.000 And Andrew and I should probably have an additional debate where we continue the conversation.

01:43:38.000 What 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.

01:43:47.000 Instead, they say things like, wow, Tim, did you really not understand?

01:43:51.000 And I'm like, no, the dude just cut out my response.

01:43:54.000 Like, what am I supposed to do to that?

01:43:55.000 And then YouTube is spam blasting it.

01:43:58.000 And I'm getting people asking me, like, I'm getting requests for comments and stuff, and I'm just like, guys, none of that is real.

01:44:05.000 It's not real content.

01:44:06.000 What do you do when someone gets promoted in the algorithm on fake content?

01:44:11.000 I have no idea.

01:44:12.000 Well, I made a response to it.

01:44:13.000 So what is he debating you on?

01:44:16.000 Andrew and I had a debate on whether rights exist.

01:44:19.000 Andrew's debate, I'll say this because, you know, again, with respect, he argues rights are entitlements without duties.

01:44:27.000 And I suppose my mistake was not just attacking his semantics.

01:44:32.000 Instead, trying to convey my understanding of the moral philosophy and meanings.

01:44:36.000 First of all, entitlements can't have duties.

01:44:38.000 That's oxymoronic.

01:44:39.000 It's paradoxical.

01:44:40.000 What's an entitlement?

01:44:41.000 An entitlement is something that you are intrinsically allowed to have, that you are by nature or virtue allowed to have.

01:44:49.000 So the problem with the concept of rights is that they're ill-defined.

01:44:53.000 Rights are defined as entitlements by the dictionary, and entitlements are defined as rights by the dictionary.

01:44:57.000 So it's circular.

01:44:58.000 That's why I like white privilege rather than privilege.

01:45:00.000 Privilege, exactly.

01:45:02.000 The question becomes, what does a person mean when they say they have a right to something?

01:45:05.000 And my definition is that it's something they believe they can't survive without.

01:45:09.000 And 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.

01:45:16.000 So that means only some things you have a right to that you are allowed to have by virtue of existence.

01:45:22.000 Didn't that UN guy say there was no such thing as rights?

01:45:25.000 Yeah.

01:45:26.000 Like the WEF guy.

01:45:28.000 Yes.

01:45:28.000 I forget.

01:45:29.000 So the elite kind of already think that, right?

01:45:34.000 They do, and they're wrong because this is a semantic argument.

01:45:39.000 This is the problem with the debate around rights.

01:45:40.000 They're making a semantic argument.

01:45:42.000 Andrew 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.

01:45:51.000 This concept exists within anarchic philosophy as well as fascistic philosophy.

01:45:55.000 That the only thing that is true is what you can enforce to be true.

01:45:58.000 Therefore, no one has any true right to anything because they must have the right to exert force to obtain it, which omits my point.

01:46:06.000 If you are standing alone naked in the woods, what can you do and what must you do?

01:46:11.000 And then how would we define something as your right to do?

01:46:13.000 So 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.

01:46:24.000 His 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.

01:46:38.000 And it's exemplified, and where does this come?

01:46:40.000 It's not axiomatic.

01:46:41.000 It's rooted in communist countries that curtail rights fail.

01:46:45.000 And countries that allow an expansion of rights tend to succeed.

01:46:49.000 The U.S. begins to fail as communistic philosophies and authoritarianism rises, stripping white people's right to liberty.

01:46:56.000 Do you think China will fail?

01:46:58.000 I think China only began to succeed because they're cheating.

01:47:03.000 They're cheating.

01:47:04.000 Like to a communist, they'd be cheating, right?

01:47:06.000 So when China first began, they were struggling and failing.

01:47:08.000 They were starving and they were dying to tens of millions and Mao killed more people than any other human.

01:47:12.000 It'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.

01:47:21.000 But I think people are correct in saying that China may be a paper tiger. 1.00

01:47:26.000 They have big, fake, empty cities, and some argue their population size is not actually 1 billion.

01:47:30.000 They've been flubbing the numbers.

01:47:31.000 Did you see that Trump said he would bomb Beijing today?

01:47:34.000 He said it in 2022, I think.

01:47:36.000 Pretty badass.

01:47:38.000 There was a story.

01:47:39.000 There 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.

01:47:55.000 And Trump says, I told Putin I would bomb Moscow.

01:47:58.000 And he says, I don't know if he believed me, maybe 5%, but I told him I'd do it.

01:48:03.000 Anyway, I did an hour-long breakdown on my view and understandings of the moral philosophies around rights.

01:48:09.000 That'll be up on Sunday.

01:48:10.000 And 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.

01:48:19.000 I may be wrong about all of it, but the important thing is that you hear what I actually think and what Andrew actually thinks.

01:48:24.000 And then you can say, you know what, Andrew makes a great point.

01:48:26.000 I think Tim is wrong.

01:48:27.000 What Warren did was he removed my arguments and then said Tim doesn't know what he's talking about.

01:48:31.000 So then all you actually see is what Andrew is saying.

01:48:34.000 You don't actually see what my point was.

01:48:36.000 And I think that's smarmy scumbaggery.

01:48:37.000 Do you think AI is going to automatically take more rights away?

01:48:42.000 I think it will.

01:48:44.000 I don't know.

01:48:44.000 I mean, it depends.

01:48:46.000 So, like, the issue of rights, as I try to help...

01:48:56.000 Like, well, they don't.

01:48:57.000 I don't think AI has any rights.

01:48:58.000 It doesn't yet.

01:48:59.000 So 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.

01:49:08.000 So you can't force someone to give you healthcare, but you do have a right to get healthcare from someone else.

01:49:13.000 A nation that would restrict the ability of injured or sick individuals from getting healthcare will likely struggle to succeed and result in hindrance.

01:49:21.000 The degree to which a nation inhibits the rights of its citizens, you can see the degree of stagnation and ultimate failure.

01:49:27.000 So 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.

01:49:39.000 You 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.

01:49:51.000 And that's what they're trying to do.

01:49:52.000 So 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.

01:49:59.000 And they don't vote, right?

01:50:00.000 Yeah.

01:50:01.000 I mean, they vote.

01:50:02.000 Do they?

01:50:03.000 They have a president.

01:50:04.000 It's not real.

01:50:05.000 And so what ends up happening with...

01:50:08.000 I don't know how their electoral system works, but I believe they do have some kind of voting system.

01:50:15.000 Yeah.

01:50:16.000 And there's a party, but you maybe have to be a party member.

01:50:18.000 I'm not entirely sure.

01:50:19.000 My 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.

01:50:28.000 And the only reason the United States is now struggling is because communist philosophies have taken over a large portion of the country.

01:50:33.000 Do you think Trump is using some of those to his advantage?

01:50:39.000 Like, you know, whatever he just passed some, what bill, you know, the Big Beautiful Bill?

01:50:45.000 Yeah.

01:50:46.000 And everything.

01:50:46.000 The being born in the country thing?

01:50:48.000 Yeah, birthright citizenship.

01:50:49.000 That's a good thing.

01:50:50.000 He's trying to get rid of it.

01:50:51.000 Right.

01:50:51.000 That's a good thing.

01:50:52.000 It is?

01:50:52.000 Yes.

01:50:53.000 Why?

01:50:54.000 So I would align this with the core tenet that creates the Second Amendment, the right to defend yourself, your society, and your culture.

01:51:03.000 Very few countries have complete open birthright citizenship the way we do, but I'll explain it in a very simple analogy.

01:51:10.000 There were baseball fields in my neighborhood where I grew up.

01:51:13.000 They've overgrown with weeds and they put soccer goals there instead.

01:51:16.000 If 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.

01:51:34.000 So what I see largely is mass migration.

01:51:38.000 Let's talk about like anchor babies, for instance.

01:51:40.000 Why is it bad?

01:51:41.000 A family comes here intentionally, illegally enters the country and gives birth to a child, and then they get deported. 0.98

01:51:48.000 That kid then comes back to the United States at some point, or they stay here because they get some refugee program.

01:51:53.000 And what do they tend to do?

01:51:55.000 They work in a community, get money, and send that money to a foreign country through remittances.

01:52:00.000 This extracts the trade medium from a local jurisdiction.

01:52:03.000 So if you look at a city like Detroit, why did Detroit collapse?

01:52:06.000 When the Rust Belt started breaking down as the auto industry was failing, that sustained that local jurisdiction.

01:52:12.000 They didn't have a local currency.

01:52:14.000 So you build cars, the cars are sold, and money comes into Michigan.

01:52:18.000 When the auto manufacturing collapsed, all of a sudden there's no money.

01:52:22.000 There's no principal function to generate value for this location.

01:52:27.000 One thing I often ask myself when I travel is, how does this city sustain itself?

01:52:33.000 This is a curiosity to have.

01:52:35.000 So I went to Wellington, New Zealand, and I said, what is the chief function of this city?

01:52:41.000 Because there's got to be something of value produced and traded with to maintain a city because cities don't grow food.

01:52:47.000 They take food from somewhere else.

01:52:48.000 Wellington, New Zealand is government.

01:52:51.000 Government takes money from everyone around the country and then centralizes it in Wellington.

01:52:55.000 D.C. is the exact same thing.

01:52:57.000 So 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.

01:53:06.000 I get with like the illegal immigrants, but like what about, because now it's like anybody who doesn't have a green card, apparently.

01:53:12.000 Yeah, no one should just get to be a citizen.

01:53:14.000 Like 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.

01:53:20.000 Like so, so I'll give you a few other heavy political examples.

01:53:25.000 If a Chinese family, they actually do this, fly to the U.S. and then give birth to a kid and fly back. 0.99

01:53:31.000 It's called Chinese birth tourism.

01:53:33.000 It happens.

01:53:34.000 That kid can come back in 20 years or 30 years, get a job, and then 15 years later, run for president.

01:53:41.000 Why 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? 1.00

01:53:48.000 That makes literally no sense.

01:53:50.000 That's just one political incongruence.

01:53:53.000 But you also have, once again, let's do the baseball field thing.

01:53:56.000 Baseball fields are kind of simple.

01:53:58.000 But then what if they're from Belgium or something?

01:54:01.000 I don't care if they're from Belgium or from Pakistan. 0.99

01:54:04.000 That's where the race argument is apart from.

01:54:06.000 Let me tell you.

01:54:07.000 I like baseball.

01:54:08.000 I like baseball.

01:54:09.000 I don't like soccer.

01:54:10.000 I don't care if you like soccer.

01:54:11.000 You're allowed to.

01:54:11.000 Soccer is fine.

01:54:12.000 We got American soccer teams and we do well in the World Cup and all that stuff.

01:54:15.000 I like that my neighborhood had a baseball field.

01:54:18.000 They put up soccer nets instead because the neighborhood has largely become over the past, well, actually, it's not largely become any.

01:54:24.000 There's no kids anymore.

01:54:25.000 And so now the question is, what sports are being played in my neighborhood?

01:54:28.000 I, as a bad steward of my home, I left.

01:54:31.000 Did not help to maintain the values that I liked.

01:54:34.000 What we end up seeing from this is that's a simple, silly thing.

01:54:38.000 Like people might be like, who cares about baseball?

01:54:40.000 But the bigger picture is free speech, the right to keep bare arms, the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure.

01:54:47.000 These are core values that are instilled in Americans in the American tradition that don't exist in people from the third world. 1.00

01:54:52.000 Some of them may understand and want this.

01:54:54.000 Those people tend to come here and wave American flags.

01:54:57.000 There's a viral video from an Iranian who said he was a refugee in Turkey.

01:55:00.000 He came to America and he waves the American flag because he is so happy to get what we cherish.

01:55:05.000 But 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. 0.79

01:55:13.000 That is a very bad thing that will erode and destroy a country.

01:55:16.000 And immigrants that come to this country legally from all across the world, they do very well.

01:55:22.000 They tend to be very successful economically.

01:55:24.000 They start businesses.

01:55:25.000 They contribute to their community.

01:55:27.000 And that's a very, very different thing than what he's talking about.

01:55:30.000 But some of them still get, you know, you might not get a green card right away.

01:55:35.000 You might get like a different type of visa.

01:55:37.000 But the thing that Trump's saying is like, if you don't have a green card, but you have another visa, it still doesn't count.

01:55:45.000 Well, why should a tourist get to have their tourists, but a working visa?

01:55:49.000 Yeah, like, why is someone who's not a citizen of this country going to get, why is their kid get to be a citizen?

01:55:54.000 Because it's a free country.

01:55:56.000 but that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's not, Well, I agree with basically what.

01:56:03.000 We can make a moral argument that this country was built by Americans.

01:56:06.000 What makes it free is that anybody can come here and become part of it.

01:56:10.000 If you follow our rules and laws.

01:56:11.000 Legally, proceed.

01:56:12.000 Legally.

01:56:12.000 Right.

01:56:13.000 But that's what I'm saying.

01:56:15.000 So Trump has decided that the law is that you don't get to be a citizen by virtue of being born here.

01:56:22.000 Right.

01:56:22.000 And I argue he's factually correct.

01:56:25.000 The argument of the 14th Amendment is contentious.

01:56:27.000 The 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.

01:56:37.000 So the statement of anyone born here is a citizen was intended to be, as of today, anyone who was born here as a citizen.

01:56:46.000 And then they had a debate and they were like, no, no, it should be anyone born here at any point ever.

01:56:51.000 And they actually debated it because the reason the debate exists, because it was not clear-cut.

01:56:56.000 They did not agree that that was going to be the case.

01:56:58.000 In fact, the senator proposed that said this should not Include foreigners, diplomats, aliens, et cetera.

01:57:04.000 The argument from the left is: no, no, no, that was one thing.

01:57:07.000 He was saying foreigners, aliens, diplomats.

01:57:10.000 He was saying those people who were diplomats, ambassadors.

01:57:12.000 The 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.

01:57:20.000 So the problem we have right now is Gen Z can't buy homes. 1.00

01:57:24.000 The labor market is struggling.

01:57:26.000 People keep saying, but unemployment is low.

01:57:28.000 Yeah, no, that's because Gen Z isn't working and young people don't have jobs. 0.99

01:57:31.000 I think it will work if Gen Z and millennials have kids.

01:57:37.000 I 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. 0.99

01:57:48.000 Yep.

01:57:49.000 And that's too bad.

01:57:49.000 But the issue right now is when you have New York giving up residential space to illegal immigrants, which they just renewed.

01:57:57.000 Canada does the same thing.

01:57:59.000 And then Gen Z says, I can't afford an apartment.

01:58:01.000 How is an American Gen Zero supposed to have children if he can't even have a place to live? 1.00

01:58:06.000 But an illegal immigrant can come here and get a free place to live.

01:58:08.000 That is a system that is intended to destroy the American tradition.

01:58:12.000 And with that, you end up bringing in, look at Dearborn, Michigan, massive escalation of female general mutilation.

01:58:18.000 It's not going to last, though, the birthright thing, because when the Democrats get back in, they'll repeal it.

01:58:25.000 If they do.

01:58:27.000 The Democrats are split right.

01:58:28.000 You don't think they'll get back in?

01:58:29.000 It's possible, but the probability I would say right now is slim considering their party is fractured into two different.

01:58:36.000 I 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.

01:58:45.000 The Democrats, I'll just keep it simple.

01:58:47.000 It's a wide.

01:58:48.000 Republicans are tight.

01:58:50.000 Republicans, which include relative moderates, former liberals at this point, largely agree there is moderate deviation.

01:59:00.000 Libertarians might very much disagree with Trump supporters that.

01:59:05.000 Democrats, if they get in, I can see them actually upholding what Trump did because they're going to realize that they have to to win.

01:59:12.000 It's possible.

01:59:12.000 And so that's the reformation of the Democratic Party, but they'd have to excise the far left.

01:59:17.000 So the interesting thing about this ideological map, which I can maybe try and pull up in the uncensored report.

01:59:21.000 The Democrats, so let's, I'll put it this way.

01:59:24.000 Here's a spattering on the map, right?

01:59:26.000 And there's a line in the middle.

01:59:28.000 The top is red, and it's a standard curve.

01:59:30.000 The Democrats shape like a curve and then have a bubble that sticks out.

01:59:34.000 The bubble that sticks out is the far left.

01:59:36.000 They are attached to Democrats, but have a different worldview.

01:59:41.000 This is creating a big problem for Democrats in winning larger elections because Republicans are more unified.

01:59:46.000 Despite 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.

01:59:55.000 All they have to do is legalize weed and actually run on that campaign. 0.99

02:00:00.000 I don't understand.

02:00:01.000 I think it's because of the pharmaceutical companies that don't want, and also the alcohol or tobacco industry.

02:00:06.000 I don't know who's not letting the Democrats.

02:00:11.000 You know how Justin Trudeau openly was like, I'm going to legalize marijuana.

02:00:16.000 I would have worked.

02:00:17.000 I would have agreed with you five years ago.

02:00:19.000 In fact, I said Trump should pardon all nonviolent marijuana convictions at the federal level.

02:00:24.000 Whoever does it kind of has to win forever.

02:00:27.000 I don't think so.

02:00:28.000 Gen Z has shifted to the right. 0.84

02:00:30.000 So 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.

02:00:39.000 And it's not just drugs.

02:00:40.000 Soda consumption among young generations is almost gone.

02:00:44.000 I mean, their drinking has subsided, but they're vape penning. 0.99

02:00:47.000 They're losers. 1.00

02:00:49.000 They don't have sex. 1.00

02:00:50.000 They don't drink.

02:00:51.000 They don't smoke.

02:00:52.000 They just sit around and worry about.

02:00:55.000 They're taking Adderall and smoking weed.

02:00:57.000 But the usage of these things is lower among Gen Z than it was among previous generations.

02:01:02.000 But hopefully they just have kids.

02:01:04.000 People just need to realize that if you don't have kids until you're in your 40s or whatever, you're missing out.

02:01:12.000 You're kind of doing your kids a disservice because kids want to have a young parent.

02:01:16.000 But how does Gen Z have a kid if they can't buy a home? 1.00

02:01:20.000 Because they fuck. 1.00

02:01:21.000 Sorry. 1.00

02:01:22.000 Am I allowed?

02:01:22.000 I'm not allowed to swear.

02:01:23.000 Give us two minutes.

02:01:24.000 I mean, I was swearing early, but we try not to.

02:01:25.000 I didn't swear.

02:01:26.000 That was a good catch.

02:01:27.000 But if Gen Z can afford the types of things that they afford on a daily basis, they can afford kids. 0.97

02:01:38.000 They're full of it.

02:01:40.000 I disagree.

02:01:41.000 I mean, how many kids do you have?

02:01:42.000 Two.

02:01:43.000 So you know how much formula costs?

02:01:45.000 No.

02:01:46.000 You don't know how much formula costs?

02:01:47.000 No.

02:01:47.000 It's like, what is it, like $100, $80?

02:01:49.000 I would never use formula.

02:01:51.000 Sometimes you have no choice.

02:01:52.000 So I'm not a fan of formula.

02:01:56.000 You find someone with a good breast. 1.00

02:01:58.000 Well, you find a wet nurse. 1.00

02:02:00.000 Yeah.

02:02:01.000 But for genes.

02:02:02.000 I've luckily not had to deal with that.

02:02:04.000 But even if you do, it's like the same.

02:02:07.000 They buy Starbucks three times a day.

02:02:10.000 That's technically true.

02:02:11.000 But the issue is that the cost of a house right now on average is, what, $500,000?

02:02:16.000 Just rented.

02:02:18.000 So even then, you need $10,000 to move in.

02:02:21.000 The cost of daycare if both parents have to work.

02:02:24.000 Yeah, it's prohibitive.

02:02:27.000 Now, I do think that I've made the argument that Gen Z should rough it and it's getting worse for you. 1.00

02:02:34.000 A lot of these Gen Z kids, though, they come out of university and they're making like 70 to 90K a year.

02:02:41.000 I mean, maybe those rare ones are having.

02:02:43.000 The 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.

02:02:55.000 But that's true among millennials.

02:02:58.000 Gen Z is shifting rightward on those things.

02:03:00.000 I mean, you're not completely wrong.

02:03:02.000 The culture is telling them to do this, but I think Gen Z is shifting rightward.

02:03:05.000 We're going to the uncensored show.

02:05:06.000 So we were talking about the expenses and for Gen Z and stuff.

02:05:09.000 Yo, I went and got food with me and my wife, and the bill was $88. 0.99

02:05:14.000 And I was like, what the fuck? 0.99

02:05:16.000 And then I looked at the receipt. 0.99

02:05:17.000 And that was that whole other story we were talking about earlier, which I don't need to get into.

02:05:20.000 But the point is, it was me and her.

02:05:23.000 We sat down.

02:05:23.000 She had fish and chips.

02:05:25.000 I had a salad, and we had two apps, and it was $88.

02:05:28.000 Is that expensive, though? 0.96

02:05:30.000 That's real fucking expensive. 1.00

02:05:31.000 Holy shit. 1.00

02:05:32.000 I thought it was going to be $50 million. 0.99

02:05:33.000 $40 per?

02:05:36.000 So, like.

02:05:37.000 Two mains, two apps, two drinks.

02:05:39.000 Each app was $14.

02:05:41.000 The fish and chips was $20.

02:05:42.000 The salad was $22.

02:05:45.000 $20 for fish and chips.

02:05:47.000 Bro, like, dating's almost prohibited at this dollar.

02:05:49.000 So it's charged.

02:05:49.000 It's expensive.

02:05:50.000 So it's hard.

02:05:51.000 They charged me a dollar for a barbecue sauce.

02:05:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

02:05:55.000 It was supposed to come with the food.

02:05:56.000 So 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.

02:06:03.000 Well, some places would be like, I can give you two.

02:06:05.000 Otherwise, it's extra.

02:06:06.000 And 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.

02:06:12.000 And he goes, okay.

02:06:13.000 And then I was like, okay, so I want ranches.

02:06:15.000 That comes with it.

02:06:15.000 I say, okay, I want barbecue.

02:06:17.000 I want garlic parmesan.

02:06:20.000 I want honey garlic.

02:06:21.000 And let me see.

02:06:22.000 Let me do the orange chicken because you can only get three.

02:06:24.000 And I said, and I can pay extra?

02:06:26.000 And he goes, yes.

02:06:27.000 And I'm like, then I'll take the orange chicken and let's do the Louisiana.

02:06:31.000 Like, why did you.

02:06:32.000 Just bad service.

02:06:33.000 But this is just, you know, the kiosk was right there.

02:06:36.000 And I'm like, I'll press the button.

02:06:37.000 No, they had no kiosk there.

02:06:38.000 Me and me and my fiancé, we've cut it down to like, we'll eat out like one day a week at most now just because it gets expensive.

02:06:45.000 That or we go get like half price appetizers from Applebee's.

02:06:48.000 Like we're still in our 20s.

02:06:49.000 So you've seen where we are outside, right?

02:06:52.000 Kind of.

02:06:53.000 We call it the Boonies.

02:06:54.000 Yeah.

02:06:54.000 It's middle nowhere.

02:06:55.000 We call the skatepark, the skate park stuff, the boonies, the skateboard brand.

02:06:59.000 There was a house nearby that I think, what are we looking at now?

02:07:03.000 Four or five years ago, it was $175,000.

02:07:06.000 It's like one and a half, no, I think it's like four acres, and it was like a three-bedroom bungalow.

02:07:12.000 It's $500,000 now.

02:07:15.000 And 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.

02:07:23.000 It was a big, empty, 50-acre property.

02:07:26.000 When we got it, the surrounding properties were relatively cheap, like $175 for a bungalow with a couple acres.

02:07:32.000 And so the people we had working for us, as well as family, I was like, hey, buy stuff out here.

02:07:38.000 And then they all waited.

02:07:39.000 And then I remember there was one instance where there's a house is $175.

02:07:44.000 And we had conversation saying, set it up, call the realtor.

02:07:47.000 Like, let's do this.

02:07:48.000 You guys need to move out here.

02:07:48.000 There's a house.

02:07:49.000 Like, yeah, we'll wait.

02:07:50.000 We'll wait.

02:07:51.000 And then they said, well, figure it out.

02:07:52.000 We figured it out.

02:07:53.000 That house is now 500K and they can't buy it. 0.99

02:07:55.000 Fucking insane. 0.74

02:07:57.000 If 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. 0.98

02:08:07.000 That down payment is worth a third of what it was worth relative to the home, the land value.

02:08:13.000 So 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.

02:08:25.000 And we were like, it's got appliances from the 70s.

02:08:28.000 The carpet has no padding.

02:08:30.000 It's going to have to be ripped out.

02:08:31.000 They were animals.

02:08:32.000 We're going to have to spend $100,000 in fixing this and restoring it.

02:08:36.000 And they said, it doesn't matter.

02:08:37.000 We're going to sell it.

02:08:38.000 And they sold it. 1.00

02:08:39.000 And it's like, holy fucking shit, dude. 0.99

02:08:41.000 And 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. 1.00

02:08:51.000 Fucking insane.

02:08:54.000 So they're like, they want houses to go up in value, but they want people to be able to buy it. 0.99

02:09:00.000 So they're trying to finagle like a low interest rate system where you'll get more buyers. 0.98

02:09:05.000 And it's fucking insane. 0.91

02:09:06.000 So I don't know how Gen Z is ever going to own property. 1.00

02:09:09.000 Millennials, I think, what is it? 0.59

02:09:12.000 Gen X, boomers, 75% of boomers own houses. 0.98

02:09:16.000 And some of them own multiple houses.

02:09:19.000 72% of Gen Xers own at least one house.

02:09:22.000 Half of millennials own homes.

02:09:24.000 And it's something like 7% of Gen Z owns property.

02:09:27.000 Corporate equities are held by about, I think 50, 60% of corporate equities are held by boomers.

02:09:35.000 Gen X controls, I think, around 20%.

02:09:37.000 Millennials have like 5% and Gen Z has zero.

02:09:41.000 At the same age as where Gen Z is now in their mid-20s, boomers, I think 25% owned homes and 10 or so percent owned corporate equities.

02:09:53.000 You can see every generation, it's getting worse. 0.99

02:09:55.000 It's fucking wild. 0.97

02:09:57.000 Then when you look at what's going on in New York as a great example, Chicago's doing this. 1.00

02:10:01.000 When I was back in Chicago, we were driving north out of my neighborhood and there were big fucking immigrant camps. 1.00

02:10:09.000 Holy fucking shit. 1.00

02:10:10.000 We saw these big inflatable tents all over the place. 1.00

02:10:13.000 And I was like, dude, what the fuck? 0.99

02:10:15.000 So they're setting this up so that non-sides are getting tax benefits and public funds. 1.00

02:10:21.000 Meanwhile, my neighborhood's fucked. 1.00

02:10:23.000 It's dead. 1.00

02:10:23.000 There's nobody anywhere. 1.00

02:10:24.000 Shit, the only thing I can talk about is the people who are there who are all dead now, who died of drug overdoses or gang violence. 1.00

02:10:31.000 That's fucked up. 1.00

02:10:32.000 Only 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. 0.99

02:10:37.000 What am I, you know, it's not like we're talking about upstate New York or something.

02:10:42.000 I think maybe poor people are dying off.

02:10:45.000 That's not the worst thing.

02:10:50.000 I think you're not wrong.

02:10:52.000 And one of the potential hypotheses for an AI future, it's going to be haves and have-nots, literally.

02:11:01.000 So I can pay right now and open up an automatic restaurant.

02:11:07.000 I could snap my fingers.

02:11:09.000 I 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.

02:11:17.000 In fact, I don't even got to do that.

02:11:18.000 I go to a bank and say, eh, why spend the money?

02:11:20.000 I'll put 20% down.

02:11:21.000 You cover the rest and you'll make an interest off of it and then I'll pay off in chunks.

02:11:24.000 And they go, okay, I don't even got to spend a million dollars to make it.

02:11:27.000 Then I just sit back and have a turnkey operation where money falls in my bank account every day.

02:11:31.000 Why don't we do that?

02:11:33.000 Most people do.

02:11:34.000 I shouldn't say most, but like most.

02:11:36.000 You mean like ghost kitchen?

02:11:37.000 Like Mr. Beast Kitchen?

02:11:39.000 Ghost kitchens are when you have a restaurant just sell your brand, but automated.

02:11:44.000 So I landed at Fort Wayne Airport, and they have refrigerators and a little tiny tablet with a barcode scanner.

02:11:56.000 And all you do is you grab whatever you want, beep, and tap your card.

02:11:58.000 And that was the grocery.

02:11:59.000 That was the convenience part.

02:12:01.000 No longer a staff.

02:12:02.000 They don't need a room for it anymore.

02:12:04.000 Yo, at DC, they have those Amazon.

02:12:06.000 Every airport has these now.

02:12:07.000 The Amazon store.

02:12:09.000 So don't you kind of need some socialism to be able to keep people alive?

02:12:18.000 I 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?

02:12:28.000 Well, I mean, let's put it this way.

02:12:29.000 Do 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.

02:12:44.000 And what is he going to do?

02:12:45.000 He's going to complain to you.

02:12:48.000 That's it.

02:12:48.000 Every day he's going to wake up.

02:12:49.000 He's going to come out. 1.00

02:12:49.000 He's going to talk shit about politics and complain. 1.00

02:12:53.000 They're going to be like, go fuck yourself. 1.00

02:12:54.000 What? 1.00

02:12:55.000 Go fucking get the backhoe and start tilling the fields. 1.00

02:12:58.000 The idea that there are people today that make money doing nothing is bonkers. 0.99

02:13:02.000 So what I think is more likely to happen is that what we consider to be jobs will transform.

02:13:08.000 And again, one hypothesis would be haves and have-nots.

02:13:12.000 There's going to be like some blonde woman. 1.00

02:13:14.000 She's going to be like, hold on, let me check my job.

02:13:16.000 She's going to pull up her phone and she's going to look at her digital golf app and she goes, okay, I'm good.

02:13:20.000 Anyway, what were you saying?

02:13:21.000 I'm done with work.

02:13:22.000 And so I have a golf app.

02:13:24.000 It's really fun.

02:13:25.000 You get a little golf ball and you touch the screen and pull back and then a little thing launches a little golf ball.

02:13:30.000 You can buy power-ups.

02:13:31.000 Yeah.

02:13:32.000 For $1, you can get like an extended tracker so you know exactly where the ball is going to go.

02:13:38.000 Where does that dollar go?

02:13:40.000 What does that dollar produce?

02:13:42.000 The app doesn't actually give me anything.

02:13:44.000 It doesn't produce anything.

02:13:46.000 It doesn't create an asset in any way.

02:13:48.000 I'm literally just handing a dollar to somebody so he can activate a code and then deactivate it a second later.

02:13:55.000 So this is a weird function of our economy right now with how apps work.

02:13:59.000 We're going to see something like this in the future potentially where food is already mass produced.

02:14:04.000 And like, look, let's be honest, like the fact that I have wealth and all I do is complain every day.

02:14:09.000 Granted, I complain a lot.

02:14:10.000 It's a hard work.

02:14:11.000 But it's unprecedented in a previous era, you know?

02:14:15.000 And independently.

02:14:16.000 I mean, that's an oversimplification, a simplification of what you do, though.

02:14:19.000 Like you're in a space that's populated by a lot of people.

02:14:23.000 So there has to be the ability to stand out in some way, shape, or form.

02:14:27.000 It's not as simple as that.

02:14:29.000 I 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.

02:14:42.000 And they're going to be like, dude, we get it. 0.94

02:14:44.000 Shut up. 1.00

02:14:45.000 We're going to hunt. 0.99

02:14:46.000 And I'm like, no, no, I am not a hunter.

02:14:47.000 I'm going to sit on this rock and I'm going to tell you all why this is not working and what we should be doing.

02:14:52.000 And they're going to be like, you're not the boss. 1.00

02:14:54.000 Shut your fucking mouth. 1.00

02:14:55.000 If you don't hunt, you don't eat. 1.00

02:14:56.000 You got to save your best complaints for when they're all passing you on the way to the hunting path.

02:14:59.000 So they want to stay and listen and be like, look, you can stay and listen, but I'm going to stop unless you bring me back somewhere.

02:15:05.000 No, no, no.

02:15:05.000 What you do is you go with them and you chill.

02:15:08.000 And then when they get something, you help them carry it back and you complain while you're walking back.

02:15:12.000 Everyone's in a good mood.

02:15:13.000 They'll be receptive to your ideas.

02:15:15.000 They've got the food, you know.

02:15:17.000 That's the way you do it.

02:15:18.000 Perfect.

02:15:18.000 I think it's a good plan to get rid of the poor.

02:15:24.000 I mean, I guess that's what will happen, but rich people will also suffer.

02:15:28.000 We're in what people are calling the attention economy now.

02:15:32.000 So we had the information economy for a while.

02:15:34.000 Many people talked about the transformation from what was like a labor economy to a service economy.

02:15:40.000 We went from manufacturing and labor to service, and we were like, is it possible?

02:15:45.000 And then we went to information, which was like websites and apps and data and stuff, Facebook tracking data.

02:15:54.000 Now we're attention economy.

02:15:56.000 Whoever can hold the attention of people for the longest amount of time makes money.

02:16:00.000 And that's what is going to happen with AI.

02:16:02.000 And AI is going to make it so that you don't need insurance salespeople anymore.

02:16:07.000 You don't need your, you're like, most white-collar functions are gone.

02:16:12.000 You don't need bankers anymore.

02:16:16.000 I got to be honest, like pros and cons, I guess. 1.00

02:16:21.000 I've waited in line at a bank being like, this is fucking ridiculous. 0.91

02:16:24.000 I've also had problems with automated services that like they can't solve because they're not people. 0.96

02:16:30.000 Yeah, 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.

02:16:44.000 Yeah, it's terrifying.

02:16:45.000 Yeah, like if something happens with Facebook, which I had some issues with.

02:16:49.000 Something happens to what?

02:16:50.000 I'm sorry, I'm saying Facebook.

02:16:51.000 Oh, okay.

02:16:51.000 Like you're not talking to a real human being.

02:16:54.000 I had to get advertising on there and they did like that.

02:16:57.000 There was some glitch that happened.

02:16:59.000 It's like impossible to figure it out.

02:17:01.000 I got rid of Facebook a while ago.

02:17:02.000 The only thing that's happening.

02:17:03.000 This meta property I don't have is Instagram.

02:17:04.000 Honestly, I wish I was a bad person.

02:17:05.000 I want to read this Rumble rant.

02:17:06.000 I want to read this Rumble rant because I think Milo called this person, called this a woman.

02:17:11.000 He said, Tim says millennials and Z are lazy.

02:17:14.000 They don't work.

02:17:15.000 I make $25 an hour, 50 hours a week, and can barely afford a home, let alone maintaining it.

02:17:19.000 WTF.

02:17:21.000 Milo said, this is how you know someone's a woman. 0.99

02:17:23.000 I think it was Milo said this.

02:17:25.000 Because 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.

02:17:35.000 So like with all due respect, good sir, I respect your hard work.

02:17:39.000 I mean this generally, like congratulations, you've succeeded.

02:17:42.000 You have found what many have not.

02:17:43.000 And that's, it's a shame that there are many people who don't work and don't strive.

02:17:48.000 You doing it doesn't mean all other money.

02:17:50.000 It's $25 an hour, though. 0.89

02:17:52.000 Like you're kind of like a loser, though, just because like what kind of life is that?

02:17:57.000 But what do you mean is it like $25, like $50, $60 a year?

02:18:00.000 My point is that people have been discouraged from following their dreams.

02:18:06.000 Most people who've followed their dreams are actually doing pretty good.

02:18:09.000 Is that a crazy thing to say?

02:18:12.000 Like 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.

02:18:30.000 Like they didn't know that.
