On today's show, we talk about the latest on the government shutdown and the Black Lives Matter movement. Plus, a story about a congresswoman who quit an interview after being shown a video of her apparently committing crimes against federal officers. And we have some funny stories about a market where you can predict whether or not Trump will use the N-word.
00:06:07.000We have over a million subscribers and over 290 million views with zero dollars spent on marketing because people are hungry for right-wing conservative content.
00:06:16.000The left currently owns all avenues for entertainment.
00:06:19.000We have the most robust technological infrastructure for telling stories that has ever existed in history with film and television.
00:07:29.000Trump urges GOP to end the shutdown by going nuclear on Senate filibuster.
00:07:35.000Get rid of the filibuster and get rid of it now, Trump said.
00:07:39.000Trump urged Republicans to end the filibuster in order to end the month-long government shutdown.
00:07:43.000In a late-night truth social post, Trump noted that Democrats had tried to eliminate the Senate procedure when they had control of both chambers of Congress and the White House during the Biden administration.
00:07:52.000But then Senators Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema, both of whom have since let the Democratic Party become independents, helped block the effort.
00:07:59.000Trump revived talk of the nuclear option after returning from his Asia trip this week.
00:08:04.000Quote, the one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats shut down the United States of America and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it?
00:08:39.000And if he does, I say pack the courts, four more Supreme Court justices appointed by Donald Trump, and then we can make greater Idaho and the state of Jefferson things so we'll get four more senators.
00:10:10.000I thought it should be more like WIC, which is women, infant, and children.
00:10:14.000You get like bread, eggs, meat, cheese, basic commodities that actually heal the brain.
00:10:19.000Something that's healthy, because if you give people nutrition, then they get creative over time and their kids can actually solve problems.
00:10:26.000A few years ago, there was a guy on fire.
00:10:29.000He was like Spiccoli, you know, in Fast Times.
00:10:33.000He was like this blonde surfer guy who came in and he used the money all to get lobster tails.
00:10:45.000You know, yeah, that's kind of bad, but there were people buying candy bars and soda pop, and lobster tail is like legit protein right now.
00:11:49.000It sounds like when people would make Kool-Aid, you'd buy the Kool-Aid pack for like 15 cents, and then you're supposed to put one cup of sugar in the water and mix it up.
00:12:08.000I think we've talked about this a little bit, but on top of, again, the program being widely abused, obviously there's some people who need it.
00:12:16.000There's some people we don't want to take it from, but it is being abused.
00:12:19.000And then when people become extremely obese because of the food that they're buying on EBT, we end up having to pay for their medical bills as well.
00:12:25.000People don't even realize how much that costs.
00:12:27.000Also, it disincentivizes people to get work.
00:12:29.000I was actually on EBT for a short period of time, and I knew that as soon as I got a job, I would lose it.
00:12:34.000And I'm like, okay, if I'm making $450 a week on unemployment and I was like at $150 a month on food stamps, as soon as I get a job, I'm getting $700 a week.
00:12:44.000I'm just, instead of my $700 a week from unemployment and food stamps, now I'm working 40 hours a week to make the same amount of money or less.
00:13:18.000But think about what we could do if we end the filibuster beyond just these programs.
00:13:22.000I mean, the Republicans would just do literally whatever they wanted.
00:13:25.000Or, you know, I think Trump is right because the reason I think Republicans don't want to get rid of the filibuster is because it would force them to do things they claim to want to do.
00:14:46.000It shouldn't be a, like, I don't, we were talking last night about this too, that they shouldn't be getting, I don't think they should be getting paid.
00:15:07.000And the end result is only the ultra-wealthy will be in the Senate because how else do you feed your family when you have to work full-time?
00:15:12.000Well, listen, Tim, I think we should do things the old-fashioned way, and they should make their living not off of tax dollars, but good old-fashioned bribes.
00:15:27.000We need a way to stop the mob, the democracy, from one day a video is on YouTube that sparks rage in 43 million people and then they say, we vote for drastic shift.
00:15:36.000And the Senate's like, no, you can't do that.
00:15:39.000So we need a source of the ability to veto.
00:15:42.000I just don't know there has to be 100 people.
00:15:44.000Well, the issue I think with the Senate, I think the Senate's fantastic.
00:15:46.000It's supposed to represent state interests, but the moves of the Uniparty have consistently been to erode the states as political entities within the country.
00:17:20.000I think that the dangerous, you know, mass immigration, you could completely obliterate liberalism in our country with the wrong amount of people.
00:17:30.000Where like the police are ability to like go into people's houses and businesses and ground rap, drag people out because they suspect them of being a foreigner.
00:19:55.000We have to start a new tech company where we make an app to make robberies easier, where someone breaks in and then you just, you, you give them a thousand dollars room on the left.
00:20:05.000Yes, but it should be like the Uber of robberies where everyone downloads the app and then if you're a robber, you send a notification you want them to rob them, then they Venmo you and you don't.
00:20:15.000Extortion, but Scort Town or something like that.
00:20:19.000they have a deal with all the smart lock companies where it tells the the robber like which doors are unlocked and stuff no no no no they're unlocked for you 12 doors unlocked yeah exactly just unlocked and it's like don't hurt anybody every night So I will say this: there are factories where there are illegal immigrants working, and they should be raided.
00:20:37.000And ICE and DHS CBP, whatever, should go in and say, gentlemen and ladies, you are hereby arrested for being illegal and we're sending you home.
00:20:47.000Do you think they should have been raided like nine years ago?
00:20:49.000They should have been raided the moment anybody knew they were doing it.
00:22:48.000I guess you could say that like when that Venezuelan gang took over the hotel or the in Colorado, that the people around were actually, where was it?
00:23:07.000When Trende Iraqo came to the United States, the first thing Trump should have done was kicked out every Venezuelan refugee because they're like, I'm afraid that the Venezuelan gangs will kill me.
00:24:58.000I think liberalism has been disproven at this point.
00:25:02.000So the issue with classical liberalism is that it works when you have a moral and virtuous people that are also willing to be brutal when the time comes.
00:25:11.000Within the borders of your society, you can embrace traditional or classical liberal values.
00:25:18.000But the moment you are unwilling to defend your borders and enforce your laws, liberalism fails.
00:25:23.000And that's why I say liberal is disproven.
00:25:25.000Not that it's an impossibility, it's short-lived.
00:25:28.000It can only last so long until a people become amoral and lacking virtue.
00:25:33.000And then they just say, like, this is what happens with the Christian conservatives in the United States.
00:26:50.000But listen, I'm sure some of the conquistadors did do bad things.
00:26:54.000I'm also sure that by and large they were good men who were preventing a child sacrifice empire from slaughtering infants.
00:26:59.000The reason I bring this up is that I mentioned this the other night.
00:27:02.000There was this, I can't remember what cartoon it was, but it was back when, I forgot how they phrased it.
00:27:06.000They said, going back to a time when men went to heaven for doing substantially worse things than anyone could do today.
00:27:13.000And it was an interesting point because it was like, you go back to the conquistadors, like Cortez and them, and they see the Aztecs and they were like, they're sacrificing children, doing these bad things.
00:27:24.000Those men all believed they were going to heaven.
00:27:27.000Well, and stopping people from sacrificing children is a good noble thing to do.
00:27:30.000My point is, no one today could justify if the United States, well, I shouldn't say no one could justify, but the people of this country would not tolerate the U.S. getting a bunch of troops and going on a crusade.
00:27:42.000But it's like, oh, they wouldn't tolerate the U.S. going to the Sudan.
00:28:04.000I do think one key difference, though, is when they went over and they found the new world and they sent people over to colonize it, more or less, the initial argument was like, we're going to try to first, well, obviously Columbus was trying to find a trade route and then discovered the land, but they were sending men over.
00:28:23.000And I don't think initially the thought was like, because again, they didn't even know what they were going to find.
00:28:28.000So initially the thought wasn't, we're going to stop these bad people from doing this.
00:28:32.000And when there's first-hand accounts from the men who saw this and they're like, yeah, we met these people and then they brought us through their city and we literally like thought it was painted red and then we realized it was blood.
00:29:03.000Same thing happened in World War II with Japanese, with Japanese fighters, is they would like strap bombs to babies and stuff and hand babies to American soldiers, take my baby, save my baby, and the baby would detonate.
00:29:27.000I'm jokingly saying that the conservative movement in the United States is the second most liberal human civilization next only to the left.
00:29:41.000That's why I'm jokingly saying this because obviously there are other left-wing Western factions.
00:29:45.000But American conservatives are – let me just put it this way.
00:29:50.000If – If the United States was magically just transposed a thousand years ago before, like, let's just say a thousand years ago, America was overwritten by America today.
00:30:00.000The civilizations that existed at the time would look at us like a bunch of dainty little elves dancing through fields of flowers.
00:30:07.000They'd be like, what do you mean you don't slit the throats of anyone?
00:30:12.000Dainty elves like rolling through the fields.
00:30:14.000To be fair, we have guns, so we don't have much to worry about from thousand-year-old people.
00:30:18.000My point is, if you took an American today, American conservative, and put him in an arena with a random guy from Europe a thousand years ago, the European guy would be like, how many people have you flayed in your life?
00:30:29.000And then, well, how about the Israelis not killing all the terrorists that they locked up in prison?
00:32:30.000Ian is just pointing out that life under Sharia today is better than in Liberal democracy.
00:32:35.000I think just like the Romans came along and abused Christianity for their purposes, that the caliphate came along and abused Islam for their purposes.
00:32:42.000It was supposed to empower women in the world.
00:34:15.000It would be like commanded by the Pope.
00:34:17.000It's funny how America under Christianity has fallen to communists and Islam under all of their theocratic states has expanded and gained more control.
00:34:45.000And as I mentioned, for literal decades, all of the entertainment media in this country has been dominated by people who hate Christianity.
00:34:52.000Frankly, most of them historically were either communists or communist sympathizers.
00:34:56.000But ultimately, they're people who hate Christianity.
00:34:58.000Way back in early Hollywood, not true.
00:35:01.000Those guys who came here from Eastern Europe, the Warners and all those people, were very pro-American.
00:35:27.000McCarthy went in and was like blacklisting actors and writers and people in the industry because they were affiliated with communism, were suspected of being affiliated with communism.
00:35:42.000This is a huge, I mean, the way that communism got into our entertainment industry was like in the 50s.
00:35:46.000There was a great book about it called Red Star over Hollywood.
00:35:50.000And what was really interesting, the playwright John Howard Lawson, who was a big party member, would read the screenplays before they were delivered to the studio by the writer to make sure they were okay with the party.
00:36:21.000This is part of what we're trying to do with Twisted Plots.
00:36:24.000Our second episode, our second episode is, I don't want to spoil it too much, but without, you know, without saying the word communism or without talking about like economics, it through the story refutes like a lot of the core values of communism.
00:37:44.000The story, I've told this before, my friend from Ukraine at her apartment said she was in an apartment and she said, You want to hear a funny story about that apartment?
00:37:53.000During the Soviet era, with Ukraine under control of Soviets, there were two families that lived in these apartments.
00:38:39.000This is a false assumption about what you like.
00:38:42.000Some people might like, okay, I'll put it this way.
00:38:44.000I like talking on camera and doing shows.
00:38:48.000I do a consistent number of shows because I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:38:54.000If someone came to me and said, you can go ahead and record four shows per day, but you're not going to be able to expand your business or do anything else, I'd be like, okay, well, then I'll do one per day and go hang out with my family.
00:40:11.000If you're going to be the AI algorithm in a communist state, like one of my favorite memes is somebody posted, like, what would your job be after the communist revolution?
00:41:58.000But I hear you, but let me, here's a point that I'll make.
00:42:01.000And just, I'm curious what you think of this.
00:42:04.000So one thing that communism absolutely needs on a global scale, not just in one family or one community or one country even, on a global scale, it requires everyone to have the exact same values and interests.
00:42:18.000Now, just think about this for a second.
00:42:24.000Even in a, I won't, I won't ask about your family on Seamus.
00:42:29.000But I'm just curious about like if you have had siblings or know anyone with siblings, your sibling is more genetically similar to you than anyone you're going to meet.
00:42:37.000And you're raised in the same house, in the same area, in the same environment, and even siblings are so radically different.
00:42:44.000So if siblings can't even be raised with such similar genetics in such a similar environment and being born at such a similar time to be similar people, how on earth could we re-educate the entire globe into accepting communism?
00:43:41.000I think it can work in small scale population can't grow forever and crop yield can't be expanded forever That means that if population a human population that is receiving enough food enough food Okay, let's simplify it.
00:43:55.000A human being needs 100 units of food.
00:44:08.000That means any amount of food that is acceptable for human satisfaction is enough food for them to create another human.
00:44:15.000This leads to the point with every single biome on the planet that when a species reaches equilibrium with its food source, they all start starving.
00:44:46.000There will always be a circumstance where the food amount will reach equilibrium and a starving man will say, I will kill you to feed my daughter.
00:44:55.000I mean, you're assuming that you'll never get to a point where you're able to make enough food for a growing population.
00:45:00.000So you're saying that humans will expand infinitely on the planet.
00:45:03.000We are, but we're dying off at the same speed.
00:45:06.000We're populating and dying and growing.
00:47:15.000It's where everyone collectively owns the stuff.
00:47:17.000You might not even need money at that point because it's about work and resource.
00:47:20.000And if you have enough resources and you can get them where they need to go and there's a fluid system that never turns off, you might be able to reduce the size of the government.
00:48:15.000Okay, so we're going to move on to the subject.
00:48:18.000There was a food substance called Soylent that was being developed in 2013.
00:48:24.000The company behind it said, we're going to make a neutral food product to provide all of your necessary nutrition in a single food product.
00:48:32.000And then they realized, hey, that's impossible.
00:48:35.000Every single person has a different requirement for the amount of potassium, magnesium, salts, fats, carbohydrates, otherwise, because humans are all dramatically different.
00:48:44.000So then they realized you cannot make a food product that will allot to you everything you need in one go.
00:48:54.000You can eat the soylent, but you need one real meal of something totally different, at least per week, one full meal with all the nutrition to supplement what you're not getting because your body will spit out what there's too much of.
00:49:06.000And now Soylent has just become a protein shake because they realized, oh, it doesn't work even in that capacity.
00:49:13.000The idea that you would have one day to eat whatever you wanted and the rest, this didn't work because your requirements on a daily basis for various nutrients fluctuates.
00:49:21.000One day you have too much iodine, one day you don't.
00:49:24.000No single food product is going to give you everything you need.
00:50:54.000This market will resolve to yes if Donald Trump mentions the listed term.
00:50:57.000The listed term is N-word, not the N-word.
00:51:01.000What they're saying is Trump is going to go the N-word nuclear, not literally spitting out a racial slur.
00:51:07.000But polymarket is tricking you into thinking the N-word in quotes.
00:51:12.000They put the, which is not the contract.
00:51:14.000I think this is actually false advertising, and I'm kind of offended by it, to be honest.
00:51:17.000I know it's a funny post, but the N-word is a reference to a racial slur, and they're trying to tell people that Trump has a 17% chance of saying it.
00:52:56.000I think my head's in the gutter because all I'm thinking about is someone making an AI video of him saying all these words and just reaping the benefits from polymarket.
00:53:05.000What if Trump came out and was like, I'm going to read a list of words to you?
00:53:08.000How do they register whether he said it?
00:55:22.000I keep asking, like, how do we stay grounded in the AI revolution?
00:55:24.000Because all my brain keeps wanting me to go there.
00:55:26.000I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Trump intentionally puts himself into Sora and says, have fun, make videos, because then you can never smear him.
00:55:37.000Any video that comes out of Trump saying something nasty can be like, ah, the kids are not, it's not real.
00:55:44.000We've already seen a little bit of this where I can't remember what the story was.
00:55:46.000Some leaked audio came out and they claimed it was AI, and we don't know if it was or wasn't.
00:55:50.000There's been actually a handful of stories like this, but we're at the point now where I wouldn't be surprised if some of these younger Gen Z politicians intentionally put themselves into Sora so that you can never malign them.
00:56:23.000If the Wall Street Journal hit, like, Kim Sheamus came to Seamus and was like, we have group chats where you're saying, you know, the Holy Land belongs to Rome.
00:56:30.000Seamus could literally be like, that's not.
00:56:51.000We're in a sink all spiraling around this drain, and the drain is like that.
00:56:55.000It's like putting your likeness going into the machine.
00:56:57.000And people are trying to resist it, but it's like, maybe we can refill the sink.
00:57:01.000And if you did resist it, you're never going to go down that drain.
00:57:03.000But likely right now, we're all going down the drain.
00:57:05.000So you can dive in intentionally right now and get down there first and then help build that realm down there, whatever's down there, down that unknown.
00:57:14.000That's Ian's excuse for telling everyone to use his videos.
00:57:19.000It was terrifyingly unknown, but at the same time, like, why not?
00:57:23.000I made a I got a handful of really great videos where Ian finds a monkey paw and then he says, I wish I could fly and then painfully turns into a goose while screaming.
00:57:43.000And what you should do is buy a house far, far away, build a garden so you have enough land to feed just your family and get some animals and buy some guns and build a fence.
00:57:54.000And support twisted plots so that you can also have good entertainment.
00:57:59.000I have twisted AI plots where I just literally told AI to make Freedom Tunes videos and it does.
00:58:05.000Well, people, we've tried, Chris and I were messing around with that.
00:58:48.000The reason I started doing this myself is because I want to maintain control over it.
00:58:52.000And I don't want large corporations being able to tell myself or my team what we can and can't make.
00:58:57.000And then more importantly than that, as far as AI integration goes, because you might be right that it's just inevitable that AI is going to become integrated in all the tools that we use every day.
00:59:06.000If AI becomes integrated into animation, what I would like to see happen is a system where AI does some of the mind-numbing busy work.
00:59:15.000Maybe it cleans certain things up or colors certain things in for you, but I want the creative work to be done by humans.
00:59:23.000I would be devastated if we ever got to a point where I was not able to hire my team to continue to make these videos because there's a team I've built up over years of doing this and we all work together.
00:59:36.000And I don't want to be in a situation.
00:59:38.000I would never want to replace them with AI.
00:59:59.000They're awesome people who I've worked with for a long time.
01:00:02.000And the idea of replacing them with a computer, again, I'm fine with the computer aiding in the process to some degree, but the idea of replacing human artists with a computer, I don't like it.
01:01:15.000One thing, and I will mention, I'm like, listen, there are obviously people using AI to make things who would never hire someone because they'd never be able to afford to.
01:01:36.000Oh, your people could put out five times more work because all they need to do is draw still images now and the AI will animate it for you and then you can make five, 10 times more content.
01:01:44.000So to me, and that's sort of what I'm getting at, the ideal situation, maybe it wouldn't be five times the content, but the ideal situation and what I'm hoping to do as the technology grows is use it in a way where it can make each team member more productive rather than trying to replace people.
01:02:02.000Like I said, if there's a way where the AI like takes your rough drawings, like you draw the characters, you design them, you do all the roughs, you make the thumbnails, everything.
01:02:11.000You do all the creative work in the animation process.
01:02:13.000And then the AI like colors certain frames for you once you've already colored in the main keyframe or keyframes.
01:02:20.000Yeah, we're like it can fill things in for you, but it doesn't replace your piece.
01:04:12.000It goes up a half note and it'll go, got it, let me fix that.
01:04:14.000Well, here's one thing that I really hope human artists will always be valuable for.
01:04:20.000This is like optimistic and pessimistic at the same time.
01:04:23.000We all know that the companies that produce this stuff are going to be owned by bad people and there are going to be certain things they'll prevent you from making and you will need humans to make those things.
01:04:32.000Seamus, not bad people, but different people with values.
01:05:43.000Guys, from the AP, Justice Department investigating fraud allegations in Black Lives Matter movement, AP sources say.
01:05:50.000The DOJ is investigating whether leaders in the BLM movement defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars during racial justice protests in 2020.
01:05:58.000According to multiple people familiar with the matter, in recent weeks, federal law enforcement officials have issued subpoenas and served at least one search warrant as part of an investigation into the BLM Global Network Foundation and other black-led organizations that helped spark a national reckoning on systemic racism.
01:06:13.000Said the people were not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal probe.
01:06:42.000So the issue is the left will look at this and say the Trump has weaponized against activists and they will use it and they will lie and then they will use this to recruit for violent purposes.
01:07:53.000It was a very hippie neighborhood, if you know Topanga.
01:07:57.000Well, I mean, I think that the idea that the Justice Department's investigating fraud from a large organization is- If they don't bring the case in a conservative district, it doesn't matter anymore.
01:08:07.000And all it's, if they don't bring the case in a conservative district, what's going to happen is the left-wing media is going to go, this is violence.
01:08:15.000These targets are the left-wing media is going to go, Homer, you can't target Black Lives Matter.
01:09:37.000But that it should, it's really going to be about PR.
01:09:39.000Like if they can show people legitimately these are fraud and this is how, and you believe them, then maybe they're going to understand it's not going to cut, you know?
01:09:47.000They literally went to a jury and they were like, Trump has literally not committed a crime.
01:10:28.000I mean, I have a feeling that even among black people, there's something, because the word got out that there was a lot of rip-offs going on.
01:10:37.000So I don't think the black people like it that much.
01:10:39.000Well, there was another Black Lives Matter organization that was started before them.
01:10:43.000And I don't know if it was the same group, but he was raising money using the name before it became a global movement.
01:10:49.000And they went after him and tried taking his money.
01:10:51.000I can't remember exactly what happened in Minneapolis.
01:11:03.000And with the way things were going back there before the vibe shift, it was like we were 10 years away, five years away from the conservatives going, we need an anti-woke BLM because we like BLM.
01:11:12.000It's just, they've gone too far this time.
01:11:15.000I feel like we rescued chaos from the jaws of man.
01:12:09.000So what's happening right now is all of this investment is going into these data centers to run the AI, and humans are not reproducing anymore.
01:13:00.000And like, I think about AI, like, I mean, obviously, until you can just push a button and print like an entire, how long until you can print an entire AI video game that you can sit down and play, like self-internal entertainment where you can just create.
01:13:15.000I want to hear Tim Poole agree with Ian Crossland for about two hours.
01:15:10.000This is how when we talk to, I just want everyone here to understand this because it's important to build mental models of the world and how other people think.
01:15:17.000The way you feel when AI always agrees with you, this is how women feel when they talk to simps, all right?
01:18:12.000They're lionizing this guy to make him a hero when he gets out.
01:18:16.000Or in the event, I wouldn't be surprised, guys.
01:18:18.000I'm not predicting this is going to happen or it's even likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a terror raid on the MDC breaking him out in the event we go into full-scale armed conflict of some sort.
01:19:31.000I do believe this idea of all our politicians are bribed is naivete.
01:19:35.000Not all of them, but I know they get donations like insider trading and they're not going to be able to do this for their campaign.
01:19:40.000There are members of Congress in Texas who were voting against Trump's policies on certain issues related to military industrial complex funding.
01:19:48.000And people said, they're bought up by the corporations, man, in prison.
01:20:47.000But they always go, like, well, gun control isn't passed because these people are bought and paid for by the NRA.
01:20:53.000It's like, dude, the NRA is not even close to like one of the top spenders in politics, but also, no, they're actually just American.
01:21:00.000The reason Americans are very pro-gun is because it's written in our Constitution and part of our country's DNA, not because the NRA pays everybody off.
01:21:08.000That was funny, that point you were making the other day.
01:21:10.000I think you were making the other day about Devil Wentown to Georgia.
01:21:14.000That didn't come from me originally, though, but I love that big thing.
01:21:17.000There was a tweet that went viral where someone said the devil went down to Georgia is such a uniquely American song because in any other culture, the story of someone challenging the devil to a contest would end in him losing.
01:21:27.000But like in the devil went down to Georgia, he actually beats him the devil at the fiddle plate.
01:21:30.000Bro, it's just some random hillbilly playing the fiddle.
01:21:33.000Like America's so great, the devil can't even get.
01:21:36.000Well, actually, the basis of the story is funny.
01:21:37.000The devil was far behind and he needed to make a deal, and he couldn't even best some random yokel with American hubris.
01:22:15.000Well, he'll get out in a variety of ways.
01:22:17.000He's not going to get convicted in a liberal jurisdiction, that's for sure.
01:22:20.000I mean, he's going to be on the stand and he's going to look at the jury and he's going to say outright: if you think the healthcare industry is doing good and doing right, then by all means, convict me.
01:23:49.000If they try and go for jury nullification in any overt sense, the judge is going to shut it down.
01:23:55.000Unless it's a judge in a liberal district, then they'll just be like, well, I'm going to allow it.
01:23:59.000And the defense need to only say to each member of the jury, I want you to think back to any time you were injured, sick, and had to use health insurance and what the health insurance company said to you over the phone.
01:25:09.000Because unfortunately, modern people lack the nuance to understand that someone can do something bad, and that doesn't mean that it's okay to murder them.
01:25:18.000So this is a big part of how war propaganda works nowadays, too, where in order to go to a war with a country, there's a lot of considerations, not just whether they're doing something wrong, but is this a lasting and serious, grave injustice?
01:25:32.000Is this something you can actually realistically defeat?
01:25:34.000Is there a reasonable prospect of victory?
01:25:36.000Will you do more harm than good by entering?
01:26:49.000It would be something meritocratic based on Your ability to articulate a script in the GPT?
01:26:56.000No, a political position that makes sense and is relevant to the system at play.
01:27:00.000Here's the base level before we even begin to question you: we ask how you'd feel if you didn't have breakfast this morning.
01:27:05.000And if you can't deal with that hypothetical, and then if your answer is like, well, I would feel hungry, and also I'm currently rotating a 3D apple in my head.
01:27:14.000And they're like, you get like 12 votes, dude.
01:29:32.000So this is, and there's millions of dollars of lawsuits going on.
01:29:38.000And you're sitting there and you're going, what is going on?
01:29:43.000I mean, you're wondering what process you're involved with here.
01:29:48.000Do you think the jury system would be better if it was like decentralized and there are pockets all around the place of jury pools that were all going to cast a vote on this?
01:29:57.000So like it was televised, the trial, and that people all over would vote.
01:30:01.000You'd have like 10,000 people would vote into their little pods.
01:30:48.000Well, it's a good place for some corruption.
01:30:51.000No, I think you're substantially less likely to, if it's a true system where it's actually decentralized voting, it is a substantially higher chance of being corrected.
01:32:03.000See, the issue was they didn't want to clear Worf's dad's name because it would have negatively impacted the political structure of Kronos.
01:33:33.000If there was a community of 100 people and they caught a guy from outside the community robbing a store or he was accused of it, the people who live there are going to say, listen, don't know, don't care.
01:33:47.000It was even with the fair system, which did a much, much better job, you are going to find that there'll be some guy who's, there's two people, the preacher's son and a stranger they don't know.
01:33:57.000And they're going to be like, listen, my son's a good kid.
01:34:33.000No, I don't know where we're at with the case yet.
01:34:35.000I'm saying the play the left will make is that he's not guilty by reason of self-defense.
01:34:40.000And they're going to make some novel argument about when these systems are destroying the lives and killing people.
01:34:45.000Sooner or later, someone tries to defend him.
01:34:47.000And this man with his back problems that he had suffered and the insurance companies refusing to help him, they are responsible for the pain that he caused.
01:34:55.000I mean, these are people who say healthcare is a human right.
01:34:58.000That's the angle they're going to play.
01:35:00.000And what they're going to do is instead of arguing what is right and wrong, they're going to go to people and say, do you remember that time?
01:37:51.000Unity and community is our strength, right?
01:37:55.000That was plural, so it should have been R, but I'm saying community is our strength.
01:37:58.000If you guys want to join a community of tens of thousands of individuals and you want to fight back and preserve what you believe in, join our Discord server and you'll get access to the backstage pass on Fridays where you can then send in your conversation and we're going to read your chats, which will be very fun and we'll do it now.
01:38:14.000I figured out what my government style is.
01:38:31.000He says, I suspect the next civil war, after one kicks off first, inspiring others, will be spanning the entire West and will culminate into a pseudo-Reconquista in which Islam and wokeism will be forced out and outlawed across the West.
01:38:46.000That would be amazed if we could do it.
01:38:48.000If we could force leftism and is a lot, here's the thing about leftism.
01:38:51.000This is what I want everyone to remember.
01:38:52.000I've said this before, I'll say it again.
01:38:53.000Leftism is the ideological rationalization that is given to social decay.
01:38:57.000It's not just some ideology that creeps in or can be pushed out.
01:39:01.000As soon as people start neglecting the duties necessary to fulfill, given their state in life, you have left and they start rationalizing it with arguments.
01:39:34.000What I would say is this: everywhere that the left has ever come to power throughout history, they've slaughtered innocent Christians.
01:39:40.000The only time the left has not done that is when they've been marginalized by a strong enough right-wing movement to prevent them from doing that.
01:40:29.000A problem with the right, maybe that could come about is that they obsess over tradition for the sake of it.
01:40:34.000Because just because they don't want to get rid of it, because they're so tired of the left breaking up tradition, and it's a tradition that maybe should be gone.
01:40:42.000The left is always going to be terrible.
01:40:44.000The right is going to be good insofar as it adheres to truth.
01:40:49.000The right is always basically going to be what we call any force that's fighting the left.
01:40:54.000And sometimes the forces that fight in the left aren't great, but they're generally going to be better than the left because, again, the left just wants to slaughter innocent people.
01:41:02.000So I wouldn't agree that the right is always good or anything like that.
01:41:06.000I think the right is just what we call the force that opposes the left.
01:41:09.000In some countries, they have good, healthy right-wing movements.
01:41:11.000In other countries, they have stupid, silly right-wing movements.
01:41:47.000He goes on to say, ever consider having a mid-level AI expert on someone that actively works in the field and isn't doing theoretical or high-level.
01:41:54.000The actual agentic systems behind these things are making a huge difference in how you engage.
01:41:59.000Example, GPT API responds drastically different than the website version.
01:42:03.000Same for most web-based AI systems, due to the fact you aren't talking to one single AI in those places.
01:42:09.000Indeed, there are third-party video generation sites that can use Sora 2 and the GPT AI to make things that otherwise ChatGPT wouldn't allow you to do.
01:42:21.000So if you go on Sora and say you want to make a video, but it's offensive, it'll tell you, I can't do this.
01:42:27.000But if you use a third party that pays into the API, it'll do it for you.
01:42:31.000So that's because they're concerned about having something attached to their brand.
01:42:34.000Is that how they get like Mr. Rogers and there's history Tupac and all that?
01:43:35.000Listen, if you guys want to help build the future of entertainment, if you want right-wing media, if you want to push back against the left's monopoly on entertainment, support Twisted Plots.
01:44:11.000In the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.
01:44:25.000There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak.
01:44:28.000I suspect even now orders are being shed into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way.
01:44:32.000And then you got to show like woke people and like.
01:44:46.000And then you've got to mention, so you say is where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and black lesbians in every show on Netflix.
01:46:50.000We got Saint Misfit here who says, Tim asked if MAGA, MAGA, or the general right wing would be willing to engage in coercive violence, fraud.
01:47:31.000That means there are various types of force, how you can make something, someone do something you want.
01:47:36.000You can coerce them, like, if you don't, I will do a bad thing.
01:47:39.000There's manipulative force, which is, oh, you actually always wanted to do a bad thing.
01:47:44.000That thing is good for you, tricking them.
01:47:46.000And physical violence to coerce them into doing it by, I'm going to beat you now and then beating them.
01:47:50.000And then until they say, please stop, I'll do what you want.
01:47:52.000My point with the voting is, if there are evil people who have said, we've corrupted your system, we control the Senate, and we will purge the Jedi, would you then say, he must be stopped?
01:48:09.000Well, the reality is, if a Sith lord controls the galactic Senate and you just say, we will go through the system by which he controls, then you lose.
01:50:29.000We got Dr. Tenner Sheriff says blackjack is the only casino game you can get thrown out of, thrown out for being too good.
01:50:35.000Stephen Bridges is a magician who learned to count cards and has a bunch of videos on his YouTube channel where he traveled America with a team.
01:52:00.000He claimed he would fold Aces pre-flop because in an instance where someone raises against you in a tournament, and he's considered to be one of the best tournament players.
01:52:10.000He has more bracelets than any other poker player.
01:52:13.000He's won more tournaments at the pro level.
01:53:15.000So you're looking at, I don't know, 63 bucks.
01:53:18.000The chances of someone connecting with the board is like one in three, which means between these players, I can bet the size of the pot if I don't even connect with it and they're going to fold.
01:53:28.000And I get that money without ever having actual show the cards, do a calculation or anything like that.
01:53:55.000And then the reality is with stronger hands, you're entering into these bets and raising the bets because you actually have a very high chance of winning.
01:54:02.000So anyway, shout out to Helmuth, who actually said, you could do it.
01:54:24.000But any kind of really significant level, you're going to start wondering whether somebody's got a video camera hidden somewhere that you're not even seeing.
01:54:35.000Yeah, they're doing all sorts of crazy stuff.
01:54:38.000But the thing about those cheating cases is that it proves that those guys were dumb as a box of rocks and didn't understand poker because you don't cheat that way to win poker.
01:54:45.000That was the mafia being like, I don't actually know how poker works.
01:54:51.000The reality, cheating and poker is super easy.
01:54:54.000If we were at a poker table and we got five players, which is low, and I wanted to cheat, I would just say to Ian, you and I are on a team.
01:56:23.000I have to host the shows, produce the shows three to four per day, as well as, and this week, even this week, it was difficult with Slow News.
01:56:30.000I didn't get very many Tim Pool shows up, which is the new channel.
01:56:33.000And then I've got to manage the boonies, negotiate, and work with the team on the ad sales, products, cash brew, all of this stuff.
01:57:08.000We've got Guido Tard says, Anderson County, South Carolina is trying to get people to vote yes on the fourth to add a penny tax, a sales tax increase.
01:57:16.000Those who want it are using the threat of an increase in property tax.
01:58:20.000He says, can't Republicans do what California is trying to do and temporarily remove the filibuster for a few years like New Skim is trying to do for this Cali election?
01:58:27.000And Elon Musk is on the new Joe Rogan episode.
01:58:48.000Burt says: Given that the judge who indicated she'll force Trump to pay for food stamps was approved 94-0 by the Senate, among other examples, how can we hold the GOP senators accountable without losing any ground?
01:58:58.000You know, look, with all due respect to Senator Rand Paul, these senators cannot even tread too far outside the line, otherwise, I'll never get elected again.
01:59:07.000So I bring on a pundit or a political personality, and they can say something like, Yep, Snap's got to go.
01:59:12.000I bring on Senator and he says, Look, it's not a good system, but we got to wean off it.
01:59:52.000Constitutional amendments are the result of a great deal of momentum.
01:59:55.000That said, would the panel be willing to start making waves for one amendment that repeals the 16th and 17th amendments and renders this repeal irrevocable?
02:00:09.000The 16th allows Congress to levy an income tax on individuals and corporations without apportioning it among the states based on population.
02:00:56.000Like I was talking to my wife about this, and she was like, I was explaining to her that members of Congress don't actually do that, don't work.
02:02:58.000You find me at Ian Crossland on X, you know, all the websites, YouTube and Instagram.
02:03:02.000I've been working heavily on AI and getting ready to go produce a graphene documentary down at Rice University where I'm going to electrocute some carbon, create some hydrogen gas, release some fuel, you know?
02:03:11.000Just don't get caught by the radioactive piece of graphene, otherwise you might become graphene man.
02:03:15.000I can't promise that I'm not going to turn into a superhero.
02:03:18.000So I'll see you after I get back if I don't see you beforehand.
02:03:24.000I have produced over 700 animated videos.
02:03:27.000I've gained over a million subscribers and 290 million views with zero dollars spent on marketing.
02:03:32.000The left currently owns and dominates the most advanced and effective infrastructure for storytelling that has ever existed throughout all of history, which is a complete disaster because people form their opinions based on the stories that they see.
02:03:46.000We are pushing back against that, not only through the short cartoons that we've been doing for Freedom Tunes, but also now by branching out into making a full-length animated show.
02:03:57.000We've already got the 25-minute long pilot fully animated.
02:04:01.000If you want to see that, you can go to twistedplots.com and support our show.
02:04:05.000The future of entertainment needs to be grassroots.
02:04:09.000It needs to be created by people who don't hate you, who don't hate your family, and who aren't going to use it for destructive purposes to chip away at your society, but to build civilization up.
02:04:19.000So go over to twistedplots.com and support us before it's too late.
02:04:23.000Twisted Plots, we've got two weeks left.
