Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Calls For NUCLEAR OPTION, END Filibuster Over Food Stamp Crisis | Timcast IRL

00:01:04.000 Donald Trump is calling on the GOP to end the filibuster so that way they can reopen the government and save everyone's snap benefits.

00:01:13.000 There's been concerns about food riots.

00:01:15.000 Democrats are blaming Republicans, Republicans, Democrats.

00:01:18.000 And of course, Trump has said he's going to get it done.

00:01:21.000 Now, some people believe that there would be some emergency move made.

00:01:24.000 By the time of recording this, we haven't seen that happen.

00:01:26.000 But Trump is saying, nuke the filibuster.

00:01:29.000 And then what we're going to be able to do is get these judges in.

00:01:31.000 Democrats want to do it.

00:01:32.000 Why don't we do it now?

00:01:33.000 I got to say, I don't completely disagree.

00:01:35.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:36.000 We have some other funny stories.

00:01:38.000 Polymarket actually has a market where you can predict whether or not Trump will say, quote, the N-word.

00:01:45.000 It's not a joke.

00:01:46.000 But I don't think they mean the N-word, even though they wrote it that way.

00:01:49.000 I think Trump has to say the phrase N-word because he does when he talks about nuclear.

00:01:53.000 And the DOJ is investigating Black Lives Matter for fraud.

00:01:57.000 We'll talk about that.

00:01:57.000 How fun.

00:01:58.000 Plus, there's a really funny story with this Democrat congresswoman who's facing federal indictment.

00:02:02.000 She rage quit an interview when shown a video of her apparently committing crimes against federal officers.

00:02:10.000 So that's a problem.

00:02:11.000 I'd have to admit, she's probably worried about.

00:02:13.000 Before we get into all that, we got a great sponsor.

00:02:15.000 It is Bearskin, my friends.

00:04:21.000 Hey, great to be here.

00:04:22.000 I got to tell you that.

00:04:23.000 Who are you?

00:04:24.000 What do you do?

00:04:25.000 I'm a writer from so long I'm almost bored with it.

00:04:29.000 No, I really love to do it.

00:04:31.000 I started writing when I was about 15, and I'm now 409.

00:04:38.000 400.

00:04:39.000 Why didn't you do anything to stop slavery?

00:04:39.000 So you've seen it all.

00:04:44.000 You saw what happened to those Indians and you didn't do anything. 0.99

00:04:47.000 You didn't write that?

00:04:48.000 We're near Harper's Ferry here.

00:04:50.000 I was there for that.

00:04:51.000 What are like the top?

00:04:52.000 Very evil.

00:04:53.000 He's actually the guy who alerted the feds on the train.

00:04:57.000 No, the right ants would have been like, that's all made up.

00:04:59.000 I was there.

00:05:00.000 I saw none of that happen. 0.96

00:05:01.000 It's liberal nonsense.

00:05:03.000 There's no slavery.

00:05:04.000 What were some of the big things you wrote over the years, like the top seven?

00:05:06.000 Well, you know, way back the big fix with Richard Dreyfus.

00:05:11.000 And then I had my Oscar nomination for Enemies of Love Story with Angelica Houston.

00:05:18.000 I wrote a bunch of novels, including that one which Richard was in about the Detective Moses wine.

00:05:26.000 That's when I was a lefty.

00:05:28.000 And then I became a righty and I got kicked out of Hollywood.

00:05:32.000 Recently or with no, I became a righty probably on that day the planes hit the yeah.

00:05:42.000 I mean, that did it for me.

00:05:45.000 I realized that there were people out there who wanted to kill us.

00:05:48.000 Well, it's going to be fun.

00:05:48.000 Yeah.

00:05:50.000 There wasn't, it didn't take too much to figure it out.

00:05:52.000 Yeah.

00:05:53.000 Should be fun.

00:05:53.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:05:54.000 Ian, did you introduce yourself already?

00:05:55.000 Not yet.

00:05:56.000 But I am at Ian Crossland.

00:05:57.000 You can find me there.

00:05:58.000 Follow me at Ian Crossland on TwitterX, YouTube, Instagram, Seamus Coughlin in the House.

00:06:03.000 Seamus Coglin.

00:06:04.000 I'm the creator of Freedom Tunes.

00:06:05.000 We've done over 600 animated videos.

00:06:07.000 We 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.

00:06:16.000 The left currently owns all avenues for entertainment.

00:06:19.000 We have the most robust technological infrastructure for telling stories that has ever existed in history with film and television.

00:06:25.000 And the left owns all of it.

00:06:26.000 People who hate you, who hate your family, who hate your way of life, and who have been shipping away at your culture for decades.

00:06:31.000 That is why myself and my team have decided we are going to make a full-length animated show.

00:06:37.000 We already have the 25-minute long pilot created.

00:06:40.000 You can go watch that if you support us at twistedplots.com.

00:06:44.000 We're currently crowdfunding our first season.

00:06:46.000 We're very close to being 60% of the way there.

00:06:48.000 We've got two weeks, and we need your help.

00:06:52.000 Go watch our pilot.

00:06:53.000 You'll see that it communicates our values not through ham-fisted preaching or boring monologues, but good stories and good jokes.

00:07:01.000 I've got the team.

00:07:02.000 I've got the experience and I've got the track record.

00:07:05.000 Give me your support at twistedplots.com.

00:07:07.000 I will have everything I need.

00:07:08.000 We will be unstoppable.

00:07:10.000 We will create a watershed show that will help to destroy the left's monopoly on entertainment.

00:07:14.000 That was really powerful, Seamus.

00:07:16.000 But it's ruined by the fact that there are two spoons sitting right behind you on that windowsill.

00:07:19.000 Who are you?

00:07:21.000 Those aren't mine.

00:07:22.000 I didn't touch them.

00:07:23.000 Yes, you're correct.

00:07:24.000 They're not yours.

00:07:25.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:07:26.000 I put them there.

00:07:27.000 Here's the story from Fox News.

00:07:27.000 All right.

00:07:29.000 Trump urges GOP to end the shutdown by going nuclear on Senate filibuster.

00:07:35.000 Get rid of the filibuster and get rid of it now, Trump said.

00:07:39.000 Trump urged Republicans to end the filibuster in order to end the month-long government shutdown.

00:07:43.000 In 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.

00:07:52.000 But then Senators Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema, both of whom have since let the Democratic Party become independents, helped block the effort.

00:07:59.000 Trump revived talk of the nuclear option after returning from his Asia trip this week.

00:08:04.000 Quote, 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?

00:08:12.000 Trump wrote.

00:08:13.000 The fact is, in Flying Back, I thought a great deal about that question.

00:08:16.000 Why?

00:08:17.000 Now, he's going to say that they've got Trump derangement syndrome and all that.

00:08:21.000 There were some theories that Trump would come out at the very last minute because Snap has expired and it's not going to happen tomorrow.

00:08:27.000 He'd come out and say, I am your magnanimous leader and I have found the money for your food stamps.

00:08:32.000 But it's looking like now the strategy may be, hey, they won't reopen government.

00:08:37.000 We have no choice.

00:08:38.000 End the filibuster.

00:08:39.000 And 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.

00:08:50.000 What say you, Pat?

00:08:51.000 I think we need 11 more or 12 more judges, personally.

00:08:54.000 We need a big one.

00:08:55.000 Absolutely right.

00:08:56.000 Trump should appoint them all.

00:08:57.000 I don't know about that.

00:08:58.000 Are you looking for a job?

00:09:00.000 Yeah, I'll do it.

00:09:01.000 I'm open.

00:09:02.000 Like putting it all in the hands of nine people.

00:09:04.000 What were you going to say, Roger?

00:09:05.000 I wouldn't mind being on the Supreme Court.

00:09:06.000 You'd be good at it.

00:09:08.000 Well, I mean, the since they brought on Kataji Brown Jackson, the bar could not be lower.

00:09:13.000 In fact, it's underground.

00:09:15.000 So they want to end the idea of the filibuster, like the ability for the Senate to filibuster at all.

00:09:20.000 They want to make sure it's illegal.

00:09:21.000 No, you can still filibuster.

00:09:22.000 Here's the way it works.

00:09:23.000 Normally to filibuster, you stand up and you talk for 20 hours.

00:09:26.000 They passed a rule saying, okay, that's a waste of our time.

00:09:28.000 So how about if you filibuster, if you want to filibuster, it's just 60 votes to pass a bill. 0.99

00:09:32.000 But this is stupid because you're never going to get 60 votes. 0.96

00:09:35.000 So the Democrats will always filibuster. 0.99

00:09:37.000 But you only need a 50, you need a simple majority to change the Senate rules.

00:09:42.000 The Republicans could literally go all in favor of no filibuster.

00:09:45.000 Aye.

00:09:45.000 Okay, all in favor of opening government.

00:09:47.000 Aye.

00:09:47.000 Done.

00:09:48.000 No filibuster.

00:09:50.000 Oh.

00:09:50.000 And the concern is if we do that, then Democrats get in next time and they'll do stuff to us.

00:09:55.000 And I'm like, you are correct.

00:09:56.000 They'll do stuff to you.

00:09:57.000 They'll put you in prison.

00:09:58.000 Pay attention.

00:09:59.000 So what do you guys think of the SNAP program, though?

00:10:02.000 I mean, 45 million people or how many people?

00:10:06.000 42 million.

00:10:06.000 Yeah.

00:10:07.000 Got to go.

00:10:08.000 17 million like last week.

00:10:10.000 I thought it should be more like WIC, which is women, infant, and children.

00:10:14.000 You get like bread, eggs, meat, cheese, basic commodities that actually heal the brain.

00:10:19.000 Something that's healthy, because if you give people nutrition, then they get creative over time and their kids can actually solve problems.

00:10:26.000 A few years ago, there was a guy on fire.

00:10:29.000 He was like Spiccoli, you know, in Fast Times. 1.00

00:10:33.000 He was like this blonde surfer guy who came in and he used the money all to get lobster tails. 0.91

00:10:42.000 That's all he wanted for.

00:10:43.000 Well, hold on, hold on, hold on.

00:10:44.000 I got to be honest.

00:10:45.000 You 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.

00:10:53.000 And that's hilarious.

00:10:54.000 Royal food.

00:10:55.000 I will not eat the bugs and buys lobster.

00:10:57.000 But one of the things.

00:10:58.000 Hold on.

00:10:59.000 If the bugs are underwater, it's totally fine.

00:11:00.000 Exactly.

00:11:01.000 But this is one of the things that's hilarious is the left continually like pushes to make life worse for the average person.

00:11:01.000 They're totally fine.

00:11:08.000 So they'll be like, oh my gosh, I'm soy facing over this new like ground up bug protein.

00:11:12.000 We're going to feed people.

00:11:14.000 Everyone should have this.

00:11:15.000 It's good for the environment.

00:11:16.000 And then you're like, maybe Snap shouldn't like pay for junk food.

00:11:18.000 And they're, you wanted to humanize the poor by not letting them buy Coca-Cola and Twinkies on EBT?

00:11:26.000 And it's like, hold on a second.

00:11:28.000 Why are you okay doing awful things to me?

00:11:30.000 But I can't even be like slightly concerned with where my tax money's going.

00:11:34.000 Jameis, let me tell you the legends of EBT, okay?

00:11:36.000 You know what we used to eat in my neighborhood?

00:11:38.000 The kids would make something they would call happy.

00:11:41.000 It's where you took a Kool-Aid pack and a cup of sugar and put it in a bag and shook it up and then just ate it.

00:11:46.000 It was called happy.

00:11:47.000 And that's just people would make it.

00:11:49.000 It sounds like a drug name.

00:11:49.000 It 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.

00:11:58.000 Nah, it'd be like three or four cups.

00:12:00.000 It would be like drinking syrup.

00:12:02.000 And I was not a fan.

00:12:04.000 That is what you need EBT for, diabetes.

00:12:07.000 And this is the other thing.

00:12:08.000 I 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.

00:12:15.000 I think we all agree on that.

00:12:16.000 There's some people we don't want to take it from, but it is being abused.

00:12:19.000 And 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.

00:12:25.000 People don't even realize how much that costs.

00:12:27.000 Also, it disincentivizes people to get work.

00:12:29.000 I 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.

00:12:34.000 And 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.

00:12:44.000 I'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.

00:12:50.000 Yeah, or less.

00:12:50.000 How would I get a job?

00:12:52.000 And I was getting taxed on my unemployment, but I'm already getting taxed to pay for employment.

00:12:58.000 Then when I get my insurance payout, they tax my insurance payout.

00:13:01.000 So you got to remove that incentive.

00:13:03.000 And actually, when they get the job, they get food bonus.

00:13:07.000 Let's talk about packing the courts, though.

00:13:08.000 Yeah, how many people are like you right now?

00:13:11.000 I mean, that whole thing of the 42 million could be hash.

00:13:16.000 Yeah.

00:13:16.000 I mean, it's like it's a major scam.

00:13:18.000 But think about what we could do if we end the filibuster beyond just these programs.

00:13:22.000 I mean, the Republicans would just do literally whatever they wanted.

00:13:25.000 Or, 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.

00:13:34.000 Obamacare should be repealed.

00:13:34.000 Exactly.

00:13:36.000 We have the majority now, and they won't do it.

00:13:38.000 Yeah, they won't do it.

00:13:39.000 And you're exactly right why?

00:13:41.000 Because it's all about it.

00:13:42.000 They don't want to be unmasked.

00:13:43.000 They just want to say stuff and hide.

00:13:45.000 So right now, the filibuster.

00:13:46.000 I'm trying to wrap my head around it because the filibuster I always thought was the guy who stood there for 20 hours.

00:13:50.000 Now you're saying there's a new way that they do it?

00:13:53.000 It's not new.

00:13:53.000 It's very old.

00:13:54.000 Basically, people in the Senate were like, I don't want to sit here and listen to you talk for 20 hours.

00:13:58.000 Let's just do a 60-vote thing instead.

00:14:01.000 So they basically said, if you're going to filibuster, it's just a 60-vote threshold instead.

00:14:05.000 Oh, so no one has to make their claim.

00:14:06.000 They just got to go.

00:14:07.000 If they get rid of the filibuster, then they can change the rules to whatever they want them to be with a simple majority.

00:14:13.000 I think the Senate is the worst thing imaginable.

00:14:15.000 And I remember now when these leftists were saying abolish the Senate, and we were all like, no, are you crazy? 0.70

00:14:19.000 Now I'm like, actually.

00:14:21.000 The only problem is mob rule.

00:14:22.000 So you need a group of something that can prevent psychopaths.

00:14:25.000 Until the 17th.

00:14:27.000 And just let the governors appoint senators again. 1.00

00:14:29.000 State legislatures, but yeah.

00:14:30.000 State legislatures.

00:14:31.000 That's what it was.

00:14:33.000 Then we wouldn't have Corey Booker.

00:14:37.000 He would have found a way.

00:14:38.000 He's the filibuster guy of all time.

00:14:40.000 Yeah.

00:14:41.000 Yeah, he went up there and he talked for 27 years and he broke a record or something.

00:14:41.000 Well, he did.

00:14:44.000 It shouldn't be a popularity.

00:14:46.000 It 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.

00:14:51.000 They should be working from home.

00:14:51.000 They shouldn't have to go in unless the power goes out.

00:14:53.000 They're not getting paid.

00:14:54.000 Senators, they don't have enough salary. 0.90

00:14:56.000 I'm pretty sure they're not getting paid.

00:14:58.000 They're going to get paid when the government turns back on.

00:15:00.000 Oh, I just mean in life.

00:15:02.000 You serve in that role should not be a paying position.

00:15:04.000 That should be like a service you do.

00:15:06.000 Maybe like a stipend.

00:15:07.000 And 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?

00:15:12.000 Well, 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.

00:15:18.000 Maybe it's right.

00:15:19.000 Maybe having people in that role is no good.

00:15:20.000 We need AI as the senators now. 0.99

00:15:22.000 Maybe we should just put the robots in charge of ourselves. 0.99

00:15:24.000 We have lots of robots that can tell us.

00:15:25.000 That couldn't possibly go wrong.

00:15:27.000 We 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.

00:15:36.000 And the Senate's like, no, you can't do that.

00:15:38.000 We veto it.

00:15:39.000 So we need a source of the ability to veto.

00:15:42.000 I just don't know there has to be 100 people.

00:15:44.000 Well, the issue I think with the Senate, I think the Senate's fantastic.

00:15:46.000 It'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.

00:15:54.000 That's right.

00:15:55.000 They want this country not to be of states, but a singular nation under the federal government.

00:16:00.000 And, you know, the sad reality is everything Democrats and Trump are doing are pushing us in that direction.

00:16:06.000 Where if 10 years ago you said if Donald Trump gets elected, he's going to create a federalized police force.

00:16:12.000 He's not getting elected.

00:16:13.000 People would be like, yo, dude, that's crazy.

00:16:15.000 Now Trump is like, I have no choice but to send ICE and DHS to deal with this crime, and everyone's cheering for it.

00:16:20.000 Except for the Democrats, well, they'll complain about anything if Trump does it.

00:16:23.000 Yeah.

00:16:23.000 How long are you guys comfortable with this all going on with the ICE?

00:16:27.000 Like, just in life?

00:16:28.000 Like, how long is that?

00:16:29.000 Until every single one of them is gone.

00:16:31.000 So, like, including every illegal is out of the country.

00:16:34.000 I'm with you 100%.

00:16:36.000 So, like, get rid of it.

00:16:37.000 You would live in a permanent state of federal police in cities?

00:16:41.000 Oh, no, just no, no, no, no, no, no, hold on.

00:16:43.000 What if it goes on for 100 years?

00:16:45.000 Ian, the federal police are already in every place.

00:16:50.000 No, not vaguely literally.

00:16:52.000 National Guard.

00:16:53.000 Not National Guard.

00:16:54.000 That was a big deal.

00:16:54.000 Where do you think National Guard live?

00:16:56.000 Oh, I mean, just they're not serving on the street, like on patrol in anywhere other than D.C. They're not supposed to be anyway.

00:17:03.000 Not necessarily, but National Guardsmen and women live where they are.

00:17:08.000 And children.

00:17:09.000 National Guard's children is also.

00:17:11.000 The National Guard's children.

00:17:11.000 That's right.

00:17:14.000 That should never happen.

00:17:15.000 Just have child soldiers out there. 0.99

00:17:17.000 Because I'm down for gangbangers.

00:17:20.000 I think that the dangerous, you know, mass immigration, you could completely obliterate liberalism in our country with the wrong amount of people. 1.00

00:17:27.000 But like, hold on.

00:17:28.000 Maybe mass immigration is good. 1.00

00:17:30.000 Where 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.

00:17:30.000 I don't know.

00:17:38.000 That's a post exaggeration of what's happening.

00:17:39.000 Yeah, I don't think like you should just be able to go in anyone's house and drag them out because you suspect that they're an illegal.

00:17:44.000 But I think you should be able to deport any legal. 1.00

00:17:47.000 They know the person who's not.

00:17:48.000 Maybe if they look like they're illegal.

00:17:50.000 If they look illegal, you're looking a little bit illegal over there.

00:17:54.000 Factories, if they go into a factory and round up a bunch of employees that are here illegally. 0.95

00:17:58.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:17:59.000 How long would you be comfortable living in a world where that federal government forever?

00:18:04.000 And I want every single factory with large numbers of illegal immigrants working there to get raided the momentum. 1.00

00:18:09.000 But what if it goes beyond immigrants?

00:18:10.000 It's just other illegal things.

00:18:12.000 You're talking about a totally different solution.

00:18:13.000 You're talking about the revolution of totalitarianism.

00:18:15.000 No, you're not.

00:18:15.000 You mean if there were people in the country who arrested you when you broke the law?

00:18:18.000 Heavens, help us.

00:18:19.000 And then what if the laws get changed?

00:18:21.000 That was always subject to happen.

00:18:23.000 And the laws did change.

00:18:24.000 And they might again.

00:18:25.000 And guess what, Ian?

00:18:26.000 It's illegal to put a pie on your windowsill in Boston on Tuesdays and nobody's going to arrest you.

00:18:30.000 How long are you okay looking to the other side while the federal cops go in and do the brutal thing to solve the crime?

00:18:35.000 I don't know that it's brutal.

00:18:36.000 I don't think that's the problem.

00:18:37.000 You're not even asking as a metaphor.

00:18:39.000 Bad thing happens.

00:18:40.000 Are you serious?

00:18:41.000 How long?

00:18:42.000 You know, the whole thing about it.

00:18:43.000 It should not take so much.

00:18:44.000 What brutal crimes are they doing?

00:18:46.000 What's dragging people?

00:18:48.000 Grabbing people.

00:18:49.000 That's not illegal.

00:18:49.000 Pulling people.

00:18:50.000 I mean, it's just.

00:18:51.000 It's not illegal.

00:18:51.000 No, it's not what?

00:18:52.000 No, it's brutal.

00:18:53.000 Why is that brutal?

00:18:54.000 It's just force, physical grabbing.

00:18:56.000 That's not brutal.

00:18:57.000 The people that are grabbing, though, are not cooperating at all.

00:19:01.000 That's the argument.

00:19:02.000 What are they supposed to do?

00:19:03.000 It's not like it's like.

00:19:04.000 Let them not cooperate.

00:19:05.000 Brutal is defined as savagely violent.

00:19:05.000 Brew.

00:19:08.000 They're not like hoarding them into Iron Maidens, right?

00:19:10.000 They're like taking them and sending them back to the country. 0.98

00:19:13.000 Nothing laughs.

00:19:15.000 Let me try this.

00:19:16.000 I want to explain to people the brutality.

00:19:19.000 Someone breaks into your house and you respond by going, ooh, I'm going to give you a ride home. 1.00

00:19:25.000 Darn it. 1.00

00:19:26.000 Oh, no, you're so brutal. 1.00

00:19:27.000 You're giving them a ride. 0.55

00:19:28.000 We put them on a plane and fly them back.

00:19:30.000 We're not even loading up trains and having them go the long way.

00:19:33.000 And they're giving you the money as they've got.

00:19:34.000 That's right.

00:19:35.000 I know.

00:19:36.000 They offered $1,000 to people to go home.

00:19:36.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:19:39.000 Okay, watch this.

00:19:40.000 Watch this.

00:19:40.000 Ian, how savagely brutal.

00:19:43.000 A guy breaks in your house and you go, wait, I'll give you $1,000 to leave.

00:19:46.000 He's like, that's what I'm here for.

00:19:49.000 I was here to take your thousand dollars.

00:19:50.000 So I guess relatively brutal.

00:19:52.000 It's like that old television show.

00:19:54.000 Tim, here's what we have to do.

00:19:55.000 We 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.

00:20:03.000 No, no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on.

00:20:03.000 And then they go.

00:20:05.000 Yes, 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.

00:20:15.000 Extortion, but Scort Town or something like that.

00:20:18.000 And like Ian's Ian's world.

00:20:19.000 they 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. 1.00

00:20:37.000 And 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.

00:20:47.000 Do you think they should have been raided like nine years ago?

00:20:49.000 They should have been raided the moment anybody knew they were doing it.

00:20:52.000 Shouldn't have even been let in.

00:20:53.000 Which is probably much more than nine years ago.

00:20:55.000 Right, right, right.

00:20:56.000 It's like 20 years ago in LA, I worked with illegal immigrants.

00:20:59.000 Oh, listen, I'll tell you something.

00:21:01.000 I hired them a lot of times.

00:21:04.000 Sorry, but it's true.

00:21:07.000 And, you know, and the truth is, everybody did.

00:21:09.000 And then there were a whole kind of methods where they hid it.

00:21:12.000 You know, there was a service that came to your house and said, well, our service will hire the illegal aliens for you. 0.96

00:21:19.000 But they didn't tell you that.

00:21:20.000 But that's what it was.

00:21:20.000 And then you would hire a company.

00:21:22.000 Hire a company.

00:21:23.000 Wow, so it was like a shield company so that you wouldn't get in trouble, basically.

00:21:26.000 Is that no one?

00:21:27.000 Yeah.

00:21:28.000 Or so, so you didn't have a guilty conscience.

00:21:31.000 You feel like you should have a guilty conscience and you do that.

00:21:34.000 You guys have been busting up that ring back in the day when we were all working with doing the illegal thing.

00:21:38.000 Like it would have obliterated the economy.

00:21:41.000 Let's jump to this story.

00:21:42.000 This is from time.com.

00:21:44.000 The Trump admin is slashing the number of refugees allowed into the U.S. and giving white South Africans priority.

00:21:50.000 Oh, no.

00:21:50.000 Apparently, the number is going to be 7,500 refugees will be allowed in 2026, a 94% decrease from 125,000 set by Joe Biden.

00:22:00.000 And he's going to give priority to primarily be allocating among Afrikaners from South Africa.

00:22:05.000 I say, yes.

00:22:06.000 Excellent.

00:22:07.000 Yeah, of course.

00:22:07.000 There you go.

00:22:08.000 These people are on caveat to that.

00:22:10.000 We better have a lot of babies of our own. 1.00

00:22:12.000 That's true.

00:22:12.000 Yeah.

00:22:13.000 That's right.

00:22:14.000 If we don't, boy, we're in trouble.

00:22:16.000 You're done, Ian.

00:22:17.000 Yeah.

00:22:18.000 Every page program.

00:22:19.000 This is the crazy thing: I saw one who will not be named because I don't want to give him any engagement who tweeted about this.

00:22:27.000 Well, so this is just racism.

00:22:29.000 I'm like, hold on.

00:22:29.000 It's not racism when the majority of refugees are non-white, but then when the majority of refugees are white, now that's bad.

00:22:34.000 Now that's racist.

00:22:35.000 Well, then what does racism mean in that sentence?

00:22:37.000 Bad means bad thing.

00:22:38.000 Yeah, it means bad thing.

00:22:39.000 And anything good that is good for any white person is a bad thing. 0.76

00:22:43.000 Did you make the bad thing cartoon?

00:22:44.000 I did, yeah.

00:22:45.000 You want bed thing?

00:22:46.000 You want bad thing? 1.00

00:22:47.000 Yes, bad thing.

00:22:47.000 No, I don't.

00:22:48.000 I 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?

00:22:55.000 The apartments.

00:22:56.000 They were kind of seeking refuge from the Venezuelan gang.

00:22:59.000 So it's as if our own citizens are in refuge from the just made a great point. 0.58

00:23:05.000 No, no, no, no, not about that.

00:23:07.000 When 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. 1.00

00:23:16.000 I got bad news for you.

00:23:17.000 They're here too.

00:23:18.000 So you got to go.

00:23:21.000 Instead, Trump was like, we'll get rid of them for you.

00:23:21.000 That's the play.

00:23:23.000 No, no, no.

00:23:24.000 No, I love how the Democrats are like, we have to let them stay because they're fleeing from the bad people in their country.

00:23:24.000 Trump would.

00:23:29.000 Also, we have to let in all the bad people from their country. 1.00

00:23:32.000 Is this Mark Simpson again?

00:23:33.000 No, I just lost my voice.

00:23:36.000 Comer, we have to let all the refugees in, Omer. 1.00

00:23:39.000 Do you remember that episode?

00:23:40.000 Oh, that's right.

00:23:41.000 Trende Aragua took over an apartment building in Springfield.

00:23:44.000 Bart joins Trende Aragua.

00:23:46.000 Homer Bart joined Trende Araqua.

00:23:48.000 Isn't Trende Aragua old news now?

00:23:50.000 This is Soulless something.

00:23:50.000 Isn't it?

00:23:52.000 What are they called?

00:23:53.000 Who?

00:23:53.000 I haven't heard of them yet.

00:23:54.000 The Solus Scriptura.

00:23:55.000 It's a Protestant gang that goes around and takes over apartments and buildings. 0.98

00:24:00.000 Sinaloa, you mean the cartels?

00:24:02.000 Yeah, there's a new one.

00:24:04.000 Well, there's a bunch of different ones.

00:24:06.000 Yeah.

00:24:06.000 Sinaloa cartel is a business.

00:24:08.000 Well, that's Mexico.

00:24:09.000 Yeah.

00:24:09.000 But no, no, this is Venezuelans.

00:24:12.000 Something soulless. 0.98

00:24:14.000 Oh, man.

00:24:15.000 I don't know.

00:24:17.000 I just got to go with these things, man.

00:24:19.000 You got to go.

00:24:19.000 Everyone's got to go.

00:24:20.000 I think they deported a white guy and the left didn't care.

00:24:23.000 No, of course not.

00:24:24.000 They want that.

00:24:24.000 They're like, oh, good.

00:24:25.000 Yeah, that's the whole thing.

00:24:26.000 They didn't even know if he was a citizen or not.

00:24:28.000 He was a cop, too. 0.75

00:24:30.000 He was a white cop.

00:24:32.000 Dude, they would love that. 0.94

00:24:32.000 They're like, like a white cop, that's their least favorite kind of person. 0.94

00:24:38.000 They're like, good, send him back. 0.99

00:24:40.000 Get rid of him.

00:24:40.000 I guess you do.

00:24:41.000 So this is a test of liberalism that I can find or not.

00:24:43.000 It's getting bombarded by first the internet and all the new ideas and now the immigration and all the new people. 1.00

00:24:48.000 It's like, how do we, how does liberalism deal with the bombardment with the penultimate?

00:24:54.000 Like we're facing, are we going to become communist technocracy?

00:24:57.000 They all move to New York.

00:24:58.000 I think liberalism has been disproven at this point.

00:25:02.000 So 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.

00:25:11.000 Within the borders of your society, you can embrace traditional or classical liberal values.

00:25:18.000 But the moment you are unwilling to defend your borders and enforce your laws, liberalism fails.

00:25:23.000 And that's why I say liberal is disproven.

00:25:25.000 Not that it's an impossibility, it's short-lived.

00:25:28.000 It can only last so long until a people become amoral and lacking virtue.

00:25:33.000 And then they just say, like, this is what happens with the Christian conservatives in the United States.

00:25:41.000 Let me go back and put it this way.

00:25:42.000 Mary was talking about repealing the 19th yesterday because women vote poorly. 1.00

00:25:46.000 And I said, how are women able to vote? 1.00

00:25:49.000 And then she's like, well, the point is because men allowed them to.

00:25:53.000 There was a point where men said you can't vote.

00:25:54.000 And then men said, okay, you can.

00:25:55.000 And now they vote.

00:25:56.000 And now you're mad about it.

00:25:57.000 Well, it's the same thing with Christian conservatives.

00:25:59.000 How did the United States go from being a dominant Christian conservative nation to whatever the heck is going on right now? 0.74

00:26:04.000 The conservatives stood back and said, you do you.

00:26:06.000 It was basically the radio.

00:26:07.000 That's right.

00:26:08.000 Once the radio appeared, liberalism started getting splattered with all these new ideas and then TV.

00:26:13.000 Conservatives embraced classical liberalism in the sense of live and let live.

00:26:17.000 You do your thing.

00:26:18.000 That's exactly right.

00:26:18.000 Instead, big part of the problem.

00:26:20.000 And not just classical liberalism, but a post-war DLC that got added to liberalism, which was like, actually, porn is free speech.

00:26:30.000 And like, actually, obscenity is free speech, which were not things classical liberals initially thought.

00:26:35.000 Let me ask James, do you think that the conquistadors are in heaven?

00:26:38.000 Some great number of them, sure.

00:26:40.000 I can't claim to know anyone's eternal destiny, but I don't know.

00:26:42.000 What do you mean you can't?

00:26:43.000 Don't you know everything?

00:26:44.000 No, I don't know.

00:26:45.000 I don't know everything.

00:26:46.000 Don't you know the eternal destiny of historical figures?

00:26:48.000 I know.

00:26:49.000 Believe it or not, I don't know.

00:26:50.000 But listen, I'm sure some of the conquistadors did do bad things.

00:26:54.000 I'm also sure that by and large they were good men who were preventing a child sacrifice empire from slaughtering infants. 0.74

00:26:59.000 The reason I bring this up is that I mentioned this the other night.

00:27:02.000 There was this, I can't remember what cartoon it was, but it was back when, I forgot how they phrased it.

00:27:06.000 They said, going back to a time when men went to heaven for doing substantially worse things than anyone could do today.

00:27:13.000 And 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.

00:27:23.000 We got to stop them.

00:27:24.000 Those men all believed they were going to heaven.

00:27:27.000 Well, and stopping people from sacrificing children is a good noble thing to do.

00:27:30.000 My 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.

00:27:42.000 But it's like, oh, they wouldn't tolerate the U.S. going to the Sudan.

00:27:46.000 Right, exactly.

00:27:47.000 It's a little bit different.

00:27:48.000 What's going on in Sudan is pretty much similar to the...

00:27:50.000 No, no, no, but hold on.

00:27:52.000 They're genociding Christians in, where is it, Nigeria? 1.00

00:27:55.000 No, I know.

00:27:56.000 Listen, no, I know.

00:27:56.000 And I care.

00:27:58.000 And it would be an impossibility to mount a force to go and stop that from happening in the United States.

00:28:03.000 You're probably right about that.

00:28:04.000 I 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.

00:28:23.000 And I don't think initially the thought was like, because again, they didn't even know what they were going to find.

00:28:28.000 So initially the thought wasn't, we're going to stop these bad people from doing this.

00:28:31.000 They stumbled upon it.

00:28:31.000 They're like, what?

00:28:32.000 And 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.

00:28:42.000 But my point is this.

00:28:45.000 Our troops in the Middle East are under these constraints and international laws about when they can or cannot engage.

00:28:53.000 Okay.

00:28:53.000 That the extremists were not, they did not operate under this under these rules.

00:28:59.000 So they'd be willing to blow up children.

00:29:02.000 Same thing is true for Vietnam.

00:29:03.000 Same 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. 0.87

00:29:12.000 My point is this.

00:29:13.000 The beliefs of what was tolerable and heavenworthy hundreds of years ago is a lot more brutal than today.

00:29:21.000 Oh, yeah.

00:29:22.000 The constraints today are terrible.

00:29:25.000 I'm saying this.

00:29:27.000 I'm jokingly saying that the conservative movement in the United States is the second most liberal human civilization next only to the left.

00:29:34.000 Yes.

00:29:35.000 I completely agree.

00:29:36.000 I'm joking, though, because that's a victory of the left.

00:29:40.000 But Sweden exists.

00:29:41.000 That's why I'm jokingly saying this because obviously there are other left-wing Western factions.

00:29:45.000 But American conservatives are – let me just put it this way.

00:29:50.000 If – 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.

00:30:00.000 The civilizations that existed at the time would look at us like a bunch of dainty little elves dancing through fields of flowers.

00:30:07.000 They'd be like, what do you mean you don't slit the throats of anyone?

00:30:10.000 Much fatter. 0.95

00:30:11.000 Much fatter.

00:30:12.000 Dainty elves like rolling through the fields.

00:30:14.000 To be fair, we have guns, so we don't have much to worry about from thousand-year-old people.

00:30:18.000 My 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?

00:30:29.000 And then, well, how about the Israelis not killing all the terrorists that they locked up in prison?

00:30:37.000 Every one of those guys. 0.95

00:30:38.000 They would have a medieval version of it in the podcast. 0.95

00:30:41.000 If they would have been body couch, but it's the number killed instantly.

00:30:46.000 If Israel, the Israel-Palestine thing was happening a thousand years ago, the joke is that it was.

00:30:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:54.000 Well, it was happening.

00:30:57.000 And what did Islam do? 0.99

00:30:58.000 It conquered everything in the Middle East and North Africa and just massacred people and genocide, was genociding Christians in Spain. 0.74

00:31:06.000 It was really the caliphate. 0.93

00:31:07.000 Islam, I don't like to blame Islam for it.

00:31:09.000 The caliphate was like the government that twisted Islam and used it. 0.99

00:31:12.000 I respectfully disagree with the people.

00:31:13.000 Hadith Muhammad was always a warrior.

00:31:18.000 He wasn't really a murderer.

00:31:19.000 He's a warrior.

00:31:20.000 Well, hold on.

00:31:21.000 I'm surprised that you say that.

00:31:22.000 Where do you draw the line between a warrior and a murderer?

00:31:24.000 He was fighting for his life with his people.

00:31:26.000 But he was waging offensive wars.

00:31:28.000 No, wait, wait, wait, hold on.

00:31:30.000 Sorry, I like Ian's idea.

00:31:31.000 He was a wars. 0.83

00:31:32.000 Yeah, he was a Christian.

00:31:33.000 No, but whenever he was wars of unification, you know, he wasn't right massively.

00:31:36.000 If I wanted to unify the property across the street with my property, I'm entitled to go kick the guy's door.

00:31:41.000 He was a constant like Genghis Khan, you know? 0.50

00:31:43.000 From the driveway to the tree.

00:31:45.000 I mean, the world's filled with countries that were once other things that are now Islamic. 1.00

00:31:50.000 How did that happen?

00:31:52.000 They stole it.

00:31:53.000 Probably the caliphate was the biggest. 0.92

00:31:55.000 That's just the caliphate.

00:31:56.000 The actual religion.

00:31:58.000 I think we don't steal land.

00:31:59.000 It's in the religion.

00:32:00.000 It's in the Quran.

00:32:02.000 And this is what I always say about the matter.

00:32:04.000 When Christians don't act like Jesus, we're disappointed. 1.00

00:32:07.000 And when Muslims don't act like Muhammad, we're relieved. 1.00

00:32:09.000 Exactly. 0.98

00:32:10.000 The way that religion started was just him and his barbarians going out and murdering people and forcing them to convert. 1.00

00:32:16.000 Not quite.

00:32:16.000 It was a bunch of discord.

00:32:17.000 Well, it's true.

00:32:18.000 There was also a lot of pedophilia.

00:32:19.000 There was a lot of chaos and murder and just general persecution.

00:32:22.000 And he fought to unify those people so that would slow down because he wanted to be able to do that.

00:32:28.000 Why is it that you read that?

00:32:30.000 Ian is just pointing out that life under Sharia today is better than in Liberal democracy. 0.99

00:32:35.000 I think just like the Romans came along and abused Christianity for their purposes, that the caliphate came along and abused Islam for their purposes. 0.89

00:32:42.000 It was supposed to empower women in the world. 1.00

00:32:43.000 And who started the caliphate?

00:32:44.000 Islam was supposed to empower women in the beginning? 1.00

00:32:46.000 Muhammad had a nine-year-old bride.

00:32:49.000 Yes, hold on, hold on.

00:32:51.000 It's not fair.

00:32:51.000 He didn't have relations until she was 12.

00:32:53.000 No, I think she was actually a six-year-old bride, and he didn't have relationships.

00:32:56.000 Until she was nine.

00:32:57.000 That's literally a nine-year-old bride. 0.99

00:32:59.000 Oh, you're right. 1.00

00:32:59.000 Yeah, he's a child rapist. 1.00

00:33:01.000 They wanted to give women. 1.00

00:33:03.000 I don't know where you get this dreamy at night, Ian wants to live.

00:33:07.000 Have you spent much time over there?

00:33:09.000 Ian is actually going to lie.

00:33:11.000 Listen, listen.

00:33:12.000 I get it.

00:33:13.000 I've been in the Sudan.

00:33:14.000 Ian understands.

00:33:15.000 It's crazy.

00:33:16.000 I don't deny it. 0.99

00:33:17.000 But I think the caliphate really fucked that religion. 0.99

00:33:20.000 It's the religion itself. 0.98

00:33:21.000 It's all in the Quran and the Hadith.

00:33:24.000 Ian wants Islamic law so that he can get a bread.

00:33:27.000 I'm not a fan of government religion, and I think the caliphate is—I don't know enough to start blaming it for things specifically. 0.82

00:33:27.000 Oh, man. 0.82

00:33:34.000 What do you think about the Hadith?

00:33:36.000 I have never read the Hadith.

00:33:37.000 But the Caliphate came from the Protestant. 0.93

00:33:39.000 Do you agree with the tenet of these?

00:33:43.000 Most religions I find are extreme. 1.00

00:33:44.000 I just think, why adhere?

00:33:46.000 Why not live more fluidly with reality?

00:33:48.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:33:49.000 Then why are you defending a religion that literally wants to kill Zero? 0.99

00:33:52.000 Because I don't want to slander Islam because of what the caliphate did to it. 0.99

00:33:56.000 No, I'll slander them for wanting to kill the Jews. 1.00

00:33:58.000 Not just the Jews. 1.00

00:33:59.000 They kill the Christians. 1.00

00:34:00.000 Right, right, right. 1.00

00:34:02.000 Yeah, but would you slander the Christians for wanting to kill the Muslims? 0.98

00:34:06.000 I don't know. 0.94

00:34:07.000 Some did, yes.

00:34:08.000 Seamus.

00:34:08.000 How many crusades were there?

00:34:10.000 But it wasn't legislated in the religious doctrine.

00:34:14.000 I think there was nine checks.

00:34:15.000 It would be like commanded by the Pope.

00:34:17.000 It's funny how America under Christianity has fallen to communists and Islam under all of their theocratic states has expanded and gained more control. 0.98

00:34:28.000 Well, because here's the sad thing.

00:34:29.000 America isn't under Christianity. 0.80

00:34:31.000 There's many Christians here, but really America's under liberalism.

00:34:33.000 And that's why Christians haven't asserted their will. 0.99

00:34:36.000 They haven't asserted their values.

00:34:38.000 You think it's because entertainment is more powerful than religion?

00:34:38.000 Why is that?

00:34:41.000 No, so the way people get their values is through story.

00:34:44.000 It's through entertainment.

00:34:45.000 And as I mentioned, for literal decades, all of the entertainment media in this country has been dominated by people who hate Christianity.

00:34:52.000 Frankly, most of them historically were either communists or communist sympathizers.

00:34:56.000 But ultimately, they're people who hate Christianity.

00:34:58.000 Way back in early Hollywood, not true.

00:35:01.000 Those guys who came here from Eastern Europe, the Warners and all those people, were very pro-American.

00:35:08.000 They were not liberals.

00:35:10.000 And then it started to create.

00:35:12.000 That's why it started to get worse.

00:35:14.000 The original group were the opposite.

00:35:17.000 And then McCarthy, the McCarthy era, they were talking.

00:35:19.000 I was just reading about this last night.

00:35:20.000 There was communist infusion into the entertainment industry.

00:35:24.000 Absolutely.

00:35:24.000 Communist?

00:35:25.000 Communism.

00:35:27.000 McCarthy 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.

00:35:27.000 Communists.

00:35:34.000 And this is a huge, I know those people.

00:35:39.000 I think the left is embracing it.

00:35:42.000 This is a huge, I mean, the way that communism got into our entertainment industry was like in the 50s.

00:35:46.000 There was a great book about it called Red Star over Hollywood.

00:35:50.000 And 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.

00:36:05.000 It's a fantastic.

00:36:08.000 I just, oh, yeah, sorry.

00:36:09.000 This happened.

00:36:10.000 And then what was interesting about it, though, was that Lawson was smart enough not to not let them be too propagandistic.

00:36:18.000 Well, and this is.

00:36:19.000 He could hide what was going on.

00:36:21.000 This is part of what we're trying to do with Twisted Plots.

00:36:24.000 Our 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.

00:36:42.000 Twistedplots.com, support the show.

00:36:44.000 Help us get this.

00:36:45.000 Communism doesn't work because it turns into Vanguardism.

00:36:48.000 The last two times they tried it in Soviet Union and China, they became Vanguard estates.

00:36:48.000 Always.

00:36:52.000 If they had a real communist state where there is no state in the people, that's right.

00:36:55.000 I disagree.

00:36:57.000 You'd have to have permanent electricity always attached to the grid and smart contracts flipping so there's no middlemen.

00:37:02.000 That's not possible, Ian.

00:37:03.000 It would be such a hard thing to do.

00:37:05.000 But Ian, there's no way to create a self-sustaining terrarium of earth.

00:37:08.000 Communists are not going to be able to do it.

00:37:09.000 That's the ideal.

00:37:10.000 That's why it doesn't work.

00:37:10.000 It turns into the small group running everything.

00:37:13.000 Communism is wrong about the core assumptions with respect to human nature and human evil.

00:37:13.000 It's not just that.

00:37:18.000 It asserts that the reason people do things improperly or do things wrong or like commit moral crimes is because of resource scarcity.

00:37:25.000 And reality is just this combination lock.

00:37:27.000 And if we arrange material things in the proper way, we'll unlock the gates of heaven and it'll be utopia.

00:37:32.000 But the reality is there was no poverty in the Garden of Eden.

00:37:35.000 People sin even when they have everything they could possibly need.

00:37:38.000 You could create the perfect communist utopia.

00:37:40.000 People would still murder each other. 0.98

00:37:41.000 People would still rape. 1.00

00:37:42.000 Oh, I would still fornicate. 1.00

00:37:43.000 Let me add to that.

00:37:44.000 The 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?

00:37:53.000 During the Soviet era, with Ukraine under control of Soviets, there were two families that lived in these apartments.

00:37:59.000 They didn't like each other.

00:38:00.000 So one family called the police and said, I heard that family talking bad about the party.

00:38:06.000 The next day, the apartment was cleared out and gone.

00:38:09.000 They didn't do that because there was an actual monetary dispute or resource scarcity.

00:38:13.000 They just plumb didn't like the other person because this is how people can be.

00:38:16.000 That's totalitarian scarce.

00:38:18.000 But that's the problem with Vanguardism: it's totalitarian and they'll in.

00:38:22.000 But in a real communist material.

00:38:22.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:38:24.000 No, no, no.

00:38:25.000 Listen, I'll put it simply.

00:38:27.000 If I am told that doing extra work will mean nothing, then I'm not going to do the extra work.

00:38:34.000 But what if you like it?

00:38:35.000 So what do I get for wake?

00:38:39.000 This is a false assumption about what you like.

00:38:42.000 Some people might like, okay, I'll put it this way.

00:38:44.000 I like talking on camera and doing shows.

00:38:48.000 I do a consistent number of shows because I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

00:38:54.000 If 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.

00:39:04.000 There's literally no reason to do it.

00:39:06.000 You can do it as much as you'd like to, but most people, I'll put it this way.

00:39:10.000 Let me just pause.

00:39:11.000 Ian, do you like playing guitar?

00:39:13.000 I do.

00:39:14.000 If you had the option, would you prefer, would you choose to have that be your career?

00:39:19.000 One of my careers, yeah, at least for a period of time.

00:39:21.000 No, no, no, no, not one of yours.

00:39:23.000 Someone said, Ian, sign this contract.

00:39:24.000 You will play guitar and we will pay you a salary.

00:39:26.000 And that's all you'll have to do.

00:39:27.000 Nothing else.

00:39:28.000 You'll never be able to laugh or able.

00:39:29.000 But your job, you'll have hobbies, but your job is to play the guitar.

00:39:32.000 I'd say yes.

00:39:33.000 Of course.

00:39:34.000 Do you think there are a lot of people who would do that?

00:39:37.000 Oh, a minority of people, but a large minority of people.

00:39:40.000 Yeah, I think.

00:39:41.000 You think it's a minority of people that want to be.

00:39:43.000 2% to 6% of the population would say yes to something like that, but that's a lot of people.

00:39:47.000 So of the people who play guitar, how many do you think would take all of them?

00:39:52.000 Probably.

00:39:52.000 And do you think all of them have the ability to do that?

00:39:54.000 No, that's why communism doesn't work.

00:39:58.000 Because it takes way capitalists.

00:40:01.000 No, because some people shouldn't be guitarists.

00:40:04.000 And if these communists are like, once communism is attained, I'll go live on a farm.

00:40:09.000 No, you won't.

00:40:09.000 You'll break rocks and you'll enjoy it.

00:40:11.000 Even shitty. 0.66

00:40:11.000 If 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? 0.66

00:40:21.000 And someone posted anti-communist guerrilla fighter.

00:40:25.000 Like, in a real communist state, there is no state.

00:40:27.000 There is no communist.

00:40:28.000 You're withering away.

00:40:28.000 It's just a thing where we are.

00:40:29.000 The state was the dream of Marx, but it's never anything like it.

00:40:33.000 It's all about the overthrow, constant overthrowing of different.

00:40:37.000 In communism, there's no state.

00:40:38.000 And also in Candyland, there are candy canes growing.

00:40:40.000 Communism is ideal.

00:40:42.000 It is an ideal.

00:40:42.000 But you can get closer to communism.

00:40:44.000 Because the U.S. is limited.

00:40:47.000 Oh my God, guys. 0.76

00:40:48.000 That's his fat.

00:40:48.000 Fut down the candy.

00:40:49.000 It's like his Mexicans. 1.00

00:40:50.000 We need to build a wall around Candyland. 0.91

00:40:51.000 It's like his version of Mexico.

00:40:53.000 We always wanted less government.

00:40:54.000 I mean, communism is essentially the most successful oligarchy imaginable.

00:40:59.000 What is?

00:41:00.000 Communism is the most successful oligarchy.

00:41:03.000 That's vanguardism.

00:41:04.000 That's the same kind of thing.

00:41:05.000 That's what it does.

00:41:06.000 They say it's vagueism.

00:41:07.000 They get people excited and then they betray them and make a vanguard.

00:41:10.000 No, on a major level.

00:41:11.000 They don't every time.

00:41:13.000 No, they don't.

00:41:13.000 It's not about the structure.

00:41:14.000 It's not just about the structure.

00:41:15.000 A lot of times when the right critiques communism, it'll talk about why it doesn't work economically.

00:41:20.000 But like the actual core claims of communism are just not.

00:41:23.000 Let me try this.

00:41:23.000 Let me try this for Ian.

00:41:24.000 Candylandism always devolves into a bunch of rotting sugar in a cornfield.

00:41:30.000 And the response is, yes, because Candyland's not real.

00:41:33.000 So when you say communism turns into vanguardism, it's like saying Candyland, bro.

00:41:37.000 Communism can't exist.

00:41:39.000 How about this?

00:41:40.000 No.

00:41:40.000 I propose a government where everyone grows wings and flies around.

00:41:43.000 Red Bull.

00:41:44.000 It's kind of like what bullet.

00:41:44.000 Red Bull.

00:41:46.000 We have a limited government in the United States.

00:41:48.000 The unstoppable tithe of the Red Bull army.

00:41:51.000 Communism, they always tell you, like, hey, even more less government.

00:41:55.000 We'll have even less government.

00:41:57.000 We'll have no government.

00:41:58.000 But I hear you, but let me, here's a point that I'll make.

00:42:01.000 And just, I'm curious what you think of this.

00:42:04.000 So 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.

00:42:18.000 Now, just think about this for a second.

00:42:19.000 Except the leaders.

00:42:21.000 Well, yeah, but we're talking about their fantasy version.

00:42:21.000 In a family.

00:42:24.000 Even in a, I won't, I won't ask about your family on Seamus.

00:42:29.000 But 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.

00:42:29.000 But no, no, no.

00:42:37.000 And you're raised in the same house, in the same area, in the same environment, and even siblings are so radically different.

00:42:44.000 So 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?

00:42:56.000 It's not even about re-educating.

00:42:58.000 That's functionally impossible.

00:42:59.000 But that's one of the things.

00:43:00.000 There are resource fluctuations in economics.

00:43:03.000 Communism cannot account for.

00:43:05.000 You would need such a superstate.

00:43:06.000 No, you would have to have a constant flow of information and data in a different country.

00:43:11.000 Stop and let me finish.

00:43:12.000 The point is sometimes crop yield is low.

00:43:12.000 Okay.

00:43:14.000 Your superstate can't do anything about that.

00:43:17.000 You have fertile people. 0.80

00:43:17.000 You can starve Ukrainians and say it's their fault. 0.80

00:43:20.000 You haven't had starvation in the United States in like 200 years or something.

00:43:24.000 Never, if ever.

00:43:25.000 For me to for for for you to get to where you need to be to understand this would take too long for a second.

00:43:30.000 It's an ideal that takes would be near impossible to not near impossible literally No, no, not zero.

00:43:36.000 It is zero That's why that's why it gets people enticed It is it's zero.

00:43:40.000 I don't think so.

00:43:41.000 I 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.

00:43:55.000 A human being needs 100 units of food.

00:43:59.000 Why?

00:43:59.000 They need energy to get up and live their lives.

00:44:02.000 They need a certain amount of time for recreation.

00:44:04.000 They need to be able to reproduce.

00:44:06.000 Humans are driven to reproduce.

00:44:08.000 That means any amount of food that is acceptable for human satisfaction is enough food for them to create another human.

00:44:15.000 This 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.

00:44:25.000 This happens to deer outside.

00:44:27.000 Children know this.

00:44:28.000 That's why we have to go hunt deer.

00:44:30.000 They eat all the leaves, then they're all sickly and starving and they struggle to reproduce.

00:44:34.000 Then they get ravenous and dangerous.

00:44:37.000 So we cull them down.

00:44:39.000 Communism cannot work because fluctuations in economics is a 100% guarantee.

00:44:45.000 That's right.

00:44:46.000 There 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.

00:44:55.000 I mean, you're assuming that you'll never get to a point where you're able to make enough food for a growing population.

00:45:00.000 So you're saying that humans will expand infinitely on the planet.

00:45:03.000 We are, but we're dying off at the same speed.

00:45:06.000 We're populating and dying and growing.

00:45:08.000 We're constantly forever.

00:45:09.000 We have always been growing, but we've also always been dying.

00:45:12.000 Okay.

00:45:12.000 Human population has only ever expanded.

00:45:16.000 Totally.

00:45:17.000 No, there have been dips.

00:45:18.000 There have been huge dips in population.

00:45:20.000 And he's saying overall, though.

00:45:21.000 He's saying overall.

00:45:22.000 Be careful with that.

00:45:22.000 Overall trajectory.

00:45:23.000 Yeah, yeah, sorry.

00:45:24.000 I just realized.

00:45:25.000 I was like, someone's going to think my heart was going out to them.

00:45:28.000 Humans have a biological imperative.

00:45:30.000 It's not an opinion.

00:45:31.000 They want to have babies. 0.98

00:45:33.000 We see this everywhere.

00:45:35.000 When any species reaches equilibrium with its resources, they begin to struggle and suffer and starve.

00:45:42.000 And then you get conflict and crisis.

00:45:44.000 That's why communism is impossible.

00:45:48.000 0%.

00:45:49.000 I don't see how that, because capitalism also, that's why we have starving people on the street in Capitol.

00:45:54.000 That's why we have food stamps because starving people is the function I am talking about.

00:45:58.000 Sometimes people die and they will starve and there's nothing you can do about it.

00:46:03.000 Communism tells everybody there will be no government, it'll be stateless, and we'll all just work together.

00:46:08.000 And guess what?

00:46:09.000 Sooner or later, you get an unforeseen storm you can't control and the wheat crop is ruined.

00:46:14.000 The people who live there are going to, they're going to say, I will not watch my daughter die and I will eat a human corpse if I have to.

00:46:21.000 And we've seen it throughout history.

00:46:23.000 Communism can't work for these reasons.

00:46:24.000 Well, I mean, if you had a famine, even in a capitalist state, people would eat each other.

00:46:28.000 Exactly.

00:46:29.000 Capitalism doesn't presuppose a utopia where there's no government.

00:46:32.000 Neither does communism.

00:46:36.000 It's a fluid motion of state ownership.

00:46:38.000 That's all it is, dude.

00:46:39.000 The whole point is you're creating a utopia where there's no state, there's no hierarchy, everybody lives inequality.

00:46:45.000 A better guy is going to be more popular.

00:46:46.000 Like, what are you talking about?

00:46:48.000 It's totally hierarchies are going to be a lot of people.

00:46:49.000 I don't think it doesn't work.

00:46:51.000 I think it doesn't work.

00:46:55.000 I have been in communist countries a lot.

00:46:57.000 But they're not truly communists.

00:46:58.000 We're going to move on.

00:46:59.000 Well, wait a minute.

00:47:02.000 Next subject.

00:47:03.000 Next story.

00:47:04.000 I'm going to wrap it up by saying this.

00:47:05.000 There's no point in arguing communism when someone doesn't know what he's talking about.

00:47:09.000 I 100% know how to talk about it.

00:47:10.000 You have changed your position on what communism is three or four times already.

00:47:13.000 No, I have not.

00:47:13.000 Communism is state owner.

00:47:14.000 It's where there is no state.

00:47:15.000 It's where everyone collectively owns the stuff.

00:47:17.000 You might not even need money at that point because it's about work and resource.

00:47:20.000 And 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.

00:47:28.000 Call it whatever you want.

00:47:29.000 But that's my point.

00:47:31.000 That's my definition.

00:47:33.000 How does a carpenter get a meal for the day in this system with no money?

00:47:37.000 Well, there's a lot of different ways.

00:47:38.000 I can't remember.

00:47:38.000 I mean, it's on your own, in your house.

00:47:40.000 You could get a shit. 1.00

00:47:41.000 The carpet house. 1.00

00:47:42.000 Wait, what do you mean your own?

00:47:43.000 Hold on.

00:47:43.000 Guys, guys, guys.

00:47:45.000 You put it in your mouth.

00:47:46.000 It's your food.

00:47:47.000 I have a few simple questions.

00:47:48.000 We're going to the next subject.

00:47:49.000 A man is a carpenter, not a farmer. 0.97

00:47:51.000 He doesn't have a farm.

00:47:52.000 What does he do?

00:47:52.000 He needs food.

00:47:53.000 Gets it from the grocery store.

00:47:55.000 Gets it.

00:47:55.000 Okay, so you just hand it to him for free?

00:48:00.000 You know what he'll do?

00:48:00.000 He'll hit the nails in the thing and it'll trigger a smart contract that lets him get his foot.

00:48:04.000 It's a smart contract.

00:48:05.000 It's like paying someone money.

00:48:10.000 I'm not saying it's a good thing.

00:48:11.000 I'm just pointing out this is a grocery store.

00:48:12.000 What you're describing is impossible.

00:48:14.000 Free groceries.

00:48:15.000 Okay, so we're going to move on to the subject.

00:48:18.000 There was a food substance called Soylent that was being developed in 2013.

00:48:24.000 The 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.

00:48:32.000 And then they realized, hey, that's impossible.

00:48:35.000 Why?

00:48:35.000 Every single person has a different requirement for the amount of potassium, magnesium, salts, fats, carbohydrates, otherwise, because humans are all dramatically different.

00:48:44.000 So then they realized you cannot make a food product that will allot to you everything you need in one go.

00:48:52.000 So they said, how about this?

00:48:54.000 You 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.

00:49:06.000 And now Soylent has just become a protein shake because they realized, oh, it doesn't work even in that capacity.

00:49:13.000 The 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.

00:49:21.000 One day you have too much iodine, one day you don't.

00:49:24.000 No single food product is going to give you everything you need.

00:49:26.000 It's impossible.

00:49:27.000 There has to be a give and take in the system, meaning the system at scale requires a universal trade medium, money.

00:49:35.000 Soviet Union had some structures of money, and even the communist Chinese realized you need a monetary system and a degree of free trade.

00:49:42.000 Moving on to the next story.

00:49:43.000 Hold on, let me point this out.

00:49:44.000 The opposite of communism is corporatocracy.

00:49:47.000 So I'm looking for a middle ground.

00:49:49.000 The opposite of state ownership of corporations is megacorps that are their own governments that produce their own.

00:49:55.000 Yeah, I mean, what's the middle ground?

00:49:56.000 The middle ground of what?

00:49:57.000 Between that two economic structures.

00:49:59.000 So we in the United States are what's called the mixed economy, where we have about 55% socialism and 45% market capitalism.

00:50:06.000 We're really a corporatocracy.

00:50:08.000 Maybe, but that's a political infrastructure.

00:50:12.000 The corporations, corporate governance, corporate government.

00:50:12.000 That's economic.

00:50:14.000 It's a political infrastructure, and political infrastructures have control over economics. 0.99

00:50:17.000 Yes, we agree.

00:50:18.000 But the Federal Reserve is a structure of government and they use to control our economy.

00:50:22.000 So you could pass laws and have a culture that says we won't tolerate large corporations lobbying.

00:50:26.000 That has nothing to do with whether or not you have a balance between free market and socialist policies.

00:50:30.000 Jumping to the next story.

00:50:31.000 From polymarkets.

00:50:33.000 The odds of Trump saying the N-word in November surge.

00:50:37.000 17% chance.

00:50:39.000 And they posted this.

00:50:39.000 It says, will, oh, wait, wait.

00:50:41.000 Oh, it's the link.

00:50:42.000 I didn't realize that was a link.

00:50:43.000 Will Trump say the N-word in November?

00:50:46.000 And they're lying to you.

00:50:49.000 It's not.

00:50:51.000 The contract is this.

00:50:52.000 What will Trump say in November?

00:50:54.000 This market will resolve to yes if Donald Trump mentions the listed term.

00:50:57.000 The listed term is N-word, not the N-word.

00:51:01.000 What they're saying is Trump is going to go the N-word nuclear, not literally spitting out a racial slur.

00:51:07.000 But polymarket is tricking you into thinking the N-word in quotes.

00:51:12.000 They put the, which is not the contract.

00:51:14.000 I think this is actually false advertising, and I'm kind of offended by it, to be honest.

00:51:17.000 I 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.

00:51:25.000 Yeah, which is really nonsense.

00:51:28.000 But his chances saying the other N-word is already over.

00:51:31.000 He said it.

00:51:32.000 He did say nuclear?

00:51:34.000 Yeah.

00:51:34.000 No, no, but he hasn't said the phrase N-word.

00:51:36.000 I thought you were saying the other.

00:51:38.000 I thought you were saying that.

00:51:39.000 You're like, wait, why miss that?

00:51:41.000 I will admit there is a non-zero chance Trump does say the actual racial slur in November.

00:51:47.000 I just think it's a very, very, very low political race.

00:51:50.000 If he sees the poll raised, it's like, and it's like he takes out a huge bet.

00:51:55.000 Like, so on Polymarket right now, the trade volume is $35,000.

00:52:01.000 So there's not a lot of money to be made if he does.

00:52:02.000 But what if tomorrow it jumps up to like 10 million and then Trump comes out and says it and wins all this money?

00:52:08.000 I'm going to say it was a lot of money.

00:52:10.000 I had to do it.

00:52:12.000 It's going to feed my family.

00:52:15.000 Well, the other words available are mustache.

00:52:15.000 Yeah.

00:52:20.000 These are words that Trump will say in November.

00:52:22.000 There's $11 volume on the word Pope.

00:52:26.000 People aren't betting on whether I'll say Pope.

00:52:28.000 Crooked Joe, $4 in Banana Republic.

00:52:31.000 Bitcoin's pretty high.

00:52:32.000 Bernie, if he drops an F-bomb, has Trump dropped an F-bomb?

00:52:37.000 Oh, yeah.

00:52:38.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:52:39.000 They don't know what the.

00:52:40.000 I know, but that was like one time.

00:52:40.000 They're doing.

00:52:42.000 I mean, like, it's like a common thing.

00:52:44.000 Well, that's why it's got to be low odds, right?

00:52:46.000 Look at this.

00:52:47.000 98% chance he says Thanksgiving.

00:52:49.000 I can't believe there's a 2% chance.

00:52:49.000 Of course.

00:52:52.000 And then N-word.

00:52:53.000 Thank goodness the war on Thanksgiving is over.

00:52:55.000 My thoughts.

00:52:56.000 I 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.

00:53:05.000 What if Trump came out and was like, I'm going to read a list of words to you?

00:53:08.000 How do they register whether he said it?

00:53:10.000 That's it.

00:53:11.000 The real question is whether he said it or not.

00:53:15.000 To whom and where.

00:53:16.000 And the AI video right now is to the point where a year from now, these midterms are going to be the wildest midterms we've ever seen.

00:53:25.000 You're going to see videos of members of Congress.

00:53:25.000 Yep.

00:53:29.000 I'm warning y'all, it's not going to be Donald Trump saying the N-word.

00:53:32.000 That is too obvious.

00:53:33.000 It's going to be a video of Trump at a press conference saying something kind of bad but believable.

00:53:38.000 Yes. 0.91

00:53:38.000 Where he was just like, you know, we've got too many black people on welfare. 0.91

00:53:41.000 So I think people need to say it. 0.74

00:53:43.000 And it's going to go viral in the black community and they're going to be like, don't vote for Trump.

00:53:46.000 In two minutes.

00:53:47.000 Yeah.

00:53:48.000 Now, already.

00:53:50.000 Right now, all Sora 2 does is put a watermark that bounces around.

00:53:55.000 And if you pay, it doesn't even have a watermark.

00:53:57.000 It does have a watermark.

00:53:58.000 It takes it off.

00:53:58.000 If you download your own videos and you're paying $200 a month, I have that and it's on all the videos.

00:54:02.000 Oh, mine has none.

00:54:04.000 Weird.

00:54:04.000 Yeah.

00:54:05.000 Weird.

00:54:07.000 Maybe because I'm printing my own name on my own account.

00:54:10.000 I don't use other people's.

00:54:11.000 If you use other people's at, it prints Sora on it.

00:54:13.000 It does.

00:54:13.000 Yeah, but I've made a bunch of videos.

00:54:14.000 I posted them and they have the Sora on it.

00:54:17.000 But you can easily remove it.

00:54:18.000 That's the point.

00:54:18.000 You can go in a premiere and easily remove it.

00:54:21.000 I mean, if you go on my Instagram, my videos don't have any Sora watermark.

00:54:21.000 My don't.

00:54:23.000 No watermarks.

00:54:24.000 Yeah.

00:54:25.000 Totally indiscernible, bro.

00:54:26.000 I'm going to make AI videos of Seamus stealing spoons.

00:54:29.000 That way he can't ever refute it.

00:54:30.000 Well, the thing is, you would have to make AI videos of that because I've never done that.

00:54:33.000 We kept taking Tim's spoons and he won't admit it.

00:54:36.000 I never did that before.

00:54:37.000 You know me.

00:54:37.000 I've never done that.

00:54:38.000 You know I would never do that.

00:54:39.000 Actually, the truth is he gave me spoons.

00:54:41.000 Exactly.

00:54:42.000 I gave Tim spoons, and no good deed goes unpunished.

00:54:44.000 For that, I was maligned and smeared.

00:54:46.000 Smeared.

00:54:49.000 You want to talk about AI, bro?

00:54:50.000 What do you think, dude?

00:54:51.000 Yeah, you were like old school.

00:54:53.000 I'm staring at these words.

00:54:55.000 The choice of these words is Elon Musk, 69%.

00:55:00.000 Yeah, he and Elon are patching things on.

00:55:03.000 Yeah, that's already been patched, hasn't it?

00:55:04.000 He's talking highly of him the other day.

00:55:06.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:55:07.000 Tylenol, that's up 2%.

00:55:10.000 There's a better chance than yesterday.

00:55:12.000 Peanut.

00:55:14.000 This is a weird website.

00:55:19.000 You know, I don't know.

00:55:21.000 We got to stay grounded.

00:55:22.000 I keep asking, like, how do we stay grounded in the AI revolution?

00:55:24.000 Because all my brain keeps wanting me to go there.

00:55:26.000 I 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.

00:55:37.000 Any video that comes out of Trump saying something nasty can be like, ah, the kids are not, it's not real.

00:55:41.000 It's not yep.

00:55:44.000 We've already seen a little bit of this where I can't remember what the story was.

00:55:46.000 Some leaked audio came out and they claimed it was AI, and we don't know if it was or wasn't.

00:55:50.000 There'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.

00:56:04.000 Except with their book chats.

00:56:05.000 Yeah.

00:56:05.000 Well, no, you can't even do that because they're going to be like, that wasn't me.

00:56:09.000 That was my image.

00:56:09.000 It wasn't me.

00:56:11.000 Or no, not even that.

00:56:12.000 Like with the group chats, the funniest thing is if you could literally just be like, oh, that's not my account.

00:56:17.000 Yeah.

00:56:18.000 I think there's politicians.

00:56:21.000 Everybody's going to have to do it.

00:56:22.000 You could do this now.

00:56:23.000 If 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.

00:56:30.000 Seamus could literally be like, that's not.

00:56:32.000 And I'll say that right now.

00:56:32.000 That's not it.

00:56:33.000 But you could literally just go, that's not me.

00:56:35.000 And they'll be like, but it says Seamus Cogg and I'll be like, yes, someone's not fine.

00:56:38.000 Absolutely.

00:56:38.000 We're not here.

00:56:39.000 You're saying that.

00:56:39.000 I'm thinking of doing it.

00:56:41.000 I mean, I could see everybody doing that who has any kind of public profile within two years.

00:56:48.000 I think of it as like, not just politicians.

00:56:48.000 Everybody.

00:56:51.000 We're in a sink all spiraling around this drain, and the drain is like that.

00:56:55.000 It's like putting your likeness going into the machine.

00:56:57.000 And people are trying to resist it, but it's like, maybe we can refill the sink.

00:57:01.000 And if you did resist it, you're never going to go down that drain.

00:57:03.000 But likely right now, we're all going down the drain.

00:57:05.000 So 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.

00:57:14.000 That's Ian's excuse for telling everyone to use his videos.

00:57:17.000 I went long into this.

00:57:19.000 It was terrifyingly unknown, but at the same time, like, why not?

00:57:23.000 I 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.

00:57:32.000 It's not doing a good job.

00:57:34.000 A lot of these videos are horrifying.

00:57:35.000 One of them, it's Ian, but he just has a goose head on his normal body and he's freaking out.

00:57:38.000 Maybe we should.

00:57:39.000 They're really fun.

00:57:40.000 Bizarre.

00:57:41.000 I'm saying no to all of this.

00:57:43.000 And 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.

00:57:54.000 And support twisted plots so that you can also have good entertainment.

00:57:59.000 I have twisted AI plots where I just literally told AI to make Freedom Tunes videos and it does.

00:58:05.000 Well, people, we've tried, Chris and I were messing around with that.

00:58:08.000 It does not do it.

00:58:09.000 I made one and it looked nothing like Freedom Tunes, but it was a cartoon.

00:58:13.000 And it was like two guys going like this.

00:58:16.000 And one guy looked like Uncle Sam and one guy looked like a skateboarder.

00:58:20.000 And I was like, and they were saying like nonsense.

00:58:23.000 Well, that's kind of what my cartoons usually do.

00:58:25.000 Would you if you could put your cartoons into an AI system like Sora and integrate where everyone could make your cartoons?

00:58:32.000 Oh, no, my goodness.

00:58:33.000 No, I don't think so.

00:58:34.000 What if you got paid?

00:58:35.000 No, I would every time they did it.

00:58:37.000 No, I don't think so.

00:58:38.000 Even like $1,000 a second?

00:58:40.000 Don't think so.

00:58:40.000 No.

00:58:42.000 $2,000 a second.

00:58:43.000 Why no?

00:58:44.000 When I think about it.

00:58:45.000 It's because they would be speaking with your...

00:58:46.000 So here's the thing.

00:58:47.000 I...

00:58:48.000 The reason I started doing this myself is because I want to maintain control over it.

00:58:52.000 And I don't want large corporations being able to tell myself or my team what we can and can't make.

00:58:57.000 And 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.

00:59:06.000 If 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.

00:59:15.000 Maybe it cleans certain things up or colors certain things in for you, but I want the creative work to be done by humans.

00:59:21.000 And I would be devastated.

00:59:23.000 I 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.

00:59:36.000 And I don't want to be in a situation.

00:59:38.000 I would never want to replace them with AI.

00:59:41.000 And I would.

00:59:42.000 hate if there was a situation where it was like literally not possible to hire them anymore because of some algorithmic change.

00:59:49.000 Oh boy.

00:59:50.000 So that's really, that's that's the concern.

00:59:52.000 And that's also part of why I'm branching out.

00:59:55.000 I think it's important to make entertainment.

00:59:57.000 I also really value my team.

00:59:59.000 They're awesome people who I've worked with for a long time.

01:00:02.000 And 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.

01:00:12.000 Well, they're taking credit.

01:00:13.000 You know, I just had an experience like that because I had AI, I had ChatGPT read my new novel, which is coming out in a couple of months.

01:00:22.000 Okay.

01:00:23.000 So it reads the novel instantly.

01:00:25.000 It's 300 pages.

01:00:26.000 Then it gives me the front pages that you have on every book, you know, the title, dedication, blah, blah, blah, including a cover.

01:00:38.000 The cover was very good and right on point.

01:00:42.000 And it said in the copyright page where it always says those things, it said cover by ChatBT, GBT, and Roger Simon.

01:00:51.000 Wow.

01:00:52.000 And I went, I don't want to do this.

01:00:54.000 Yeah, good for you.

01:00:55.000 I got terrified by it.

01:00:57.000 Just for similar reasons.

01:00:59.000 And I went out and hired a human being.

01:01:01.000 Good for you, man.

01:01:02.000 But I'll tell you, it's all over.

01:01:06.000 And, you know, because I was a good guy once doesn't mean I'll be a good guy in 10 years.

01:01:11.000 And by the way, I'll say like, ha ha ha.

01:01:13.000 You know what I mean?

01:01:15.000 One 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.

01:01:23.000 So that's different.

01:01:24.000 That's totally different.

01:01:25.000 Like they're just making memes or whatever.

01:01:27.000 That's different to me.

01:01:29.000 But when a big studio starts replacing humans with AI, that's when I get concerned.

01:01:33.000 What if you.

01:01:33.000 Oh, but they're doing it all over.

01:01:35.000 I know.

01:01:36.000 Oh, 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.

01:01:44.000 So 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.

01:02:02.000 Like 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.

01:02:11.000 You do all the creative work in the animation process.

01:02:13.000 And then the AI like colors certain frames for you once you've already colored in the main keyframe or keyframes.

01:02:20.000 Yeah, we're like it can fill things in for you, but it doesn't replace your piece.

01:02:24.000 Also, so that's coming soon.

01:02:25.000 Right now with the music stuff that we worked on is I actually played in the IRL backstage earlier.

01:02:30.000 If you want to join the IRL Backstage Pass Fridays, Timcast.com, click join us.

01:02:35.000 I played about 10 seconds from a song.

01:02:38.000 Here's what happened.

01:02:38.000 I wrote a song on my guitar.

01:02:40.000 I played it on my acoustic into the microphone and sang it, uploaded it to Suno and said, this is my song.

01:02:47.000 Here's what we want in full production.

01:02:49.000 It made an AI generated version, which I then gave to Carter and said, this is the vision for the finished piece.

01:02:55.000 Carter then actually reproduced it with human effort.

01:02:59.000 But what it did was it made it so that I could create a bunch of iterations and say, this is my vision.

01:03:04.000 And then Carter goes, ah, I see what you're saying.

01:03:07.000 And then we got a real singer and we got real instruments and Carter played the instruments and did all that stuff.

01:03:11.000 That sounds great right now.

01:03:14.000 What scares me when I hear it is that in two years, Carter, whoever it is, I don't know, would be irrelevant.

01:03:23.000 And that what came out of the AI would be so much better than anything humans could do.

01:03:29.000 It already is.

01:03:29.000 It is.

01:03:30.000 So one of the issues.

01:03:31.000 Well, what do you do then?

01:03:33.000 You're being a good guy by hiring your guy.

01:03:36.000 Here's what's going to happen.

01:03:38.000 Right now, I play a song on my guitar, upload it to Suno, it spits out a song.

01:03:43.000 But in this one song we wrote, it could not hit this half step up in the key.

01:03:52.000 So it goes, you know, it's like A and then A sharp, but it didn't understand it.

01:03:56.000 So it kept dropping back down, which is a problem.

01:03:59.000 We are almost there.

01:04:00.000 I'd say in a year or maybe two years, you'll have voice command AI.

01:04:03.000 You'll play the song and then it'll go, got it, working on the song now.

01:04:07.000 All right, here's what I've got.

01:04:08.000 It'll play the song back and you'll go, stop.

01:04:10.000 You keep dropping a half note.

01:04:12.000 It goes up a half note and it'll go, got it, let me fix that.

01:04:14.000 Well, here's one thing that I really hope human artists will always be valuable for.

01:04:20.000 This is like optimistic and pessimistic at the same time.

01:04:23.000 We 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.

01:04:32.000 Seamus, not bad people, but different people with values.

01:04:35.000 Bad robots.

01:04:38.000 Santa.

01:04:40.000 I'm disappointed.

01:04:41.000 Bad news.

01:04:41.000 What Simpsons reference is this?

01:04:43.000 It's not a Simpsons.

01:04:44.000 It's a Biden reference.

01:04:45.000 Oh, bad dudes who run a bunch of bad boys.

01:04:49.000 Exactly.

01:04:50.000 They quote Joe Biden on this.

01:04:52.000 You pay your artists still.

01:04:53.000 Do you pay them hourly or do you pay them per project?

01:04:57.000 I'm not sure how much that information I really like.

01:04:59.000 Well, it's private agreements.

01:05:02.000 It's not so much.

01:05:03.000 It was more rhetorical.

01:05:04.000 They're all on federal.

01:05:05.000 I think it's a rhetorical thing, but I think in the future, as it's easier to get to.

01:05:08.000 And also, it's less about how long it takes and more about what have you pumped out.

01:05:12.000 Yeah, well, and I think it's because it varies depending on the project, depending on the person, that kind of thing.

01:05:18.000 So the hourly thing, I think, is a relic.

01:05:20.000 It's becoming a relic.

01:05:22.000 Because if you can get it done so fast and it's as good, why is it around?

01:05:26.000 When you beat your employees, do you find that every hour or every project?

01:05:30.000 Overhand or backhand works better when they disobey.

01:05:33.000 Oh, dude, my workers beat me. 0.84

01:05:35.000 It's horrible.

01:05:36.000 They bully me.

01:05:37.000 They smack me around.

01:05:38.000 I'm like, stop it.

01:05:39.000 You still have the bullwhip I gave you.

01:05:41.000 Let's jump to the story from the AP.

01:05:42.000 Take it from me.

01:05:43.000 Guys, from the AP, Justice Department investigating fraud allegations in Black Lives Matter movement, AP sources say.

01:05:50.000 The DOJ is investigating whether leaders in the BLM movement defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars during racial justice protests in 2020.

01:05:58.000 According 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.

01:06:13.000 Said the people were not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal probe.

01:06:17.000 Yada yada yada.

01:06:19.000 It is coming.

01:06:19.000 It's going to get worse.

01:06:20.000 If the Democrats ever get into power, they're going to want up this tenfold and start arresting people in media.

01:06:25.000 The DOJ doing this, I would argue, is correct because it looks like BLM was defrauding people.

01:06:30.000 Isn't that old news almost?

01:06:32.000 Not that the DOJ is investigating.

01:06:33.000 No.

01:06:34.000 No, but it was very well known like five years, four or five years ago.

01:06:38.000 It was two years ago or so.

01:06:39.000 Five large mansions, big mansions and houses.

01:06:39.000 We found it.

01:06:42.000 So 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.

01:06:56.000 Communism.

01:06:57.000 Is that the answer?

01:06:59.000 It is.

01:07:01.000 It's like, well, fear of totalitarianity.

01:07:03.000 Jamis, why are you in favor of Black Lives Matter?

01:07:05.000 Wait, what?

01:07:06.000 Why are you?

01:07:06.000 Well, because you weren't saying anything, so I just assumed that you were upset.

01:07:09.000 Well, yeah, of course we all love BLM.

01:07:10.000 It's an important racial justice movement.

01:07:12.000 No, I mean, it's horrible.

01:07:14.000 It's terrifying.

01:07:14.000 We all, listen, this is what happens.

01:07:16.000 These are just like everyone has this idea in their mind of like the televangelist scammer, and that's a real thing.

01:07:22.000 You do have those grifters.

01:07:24.000 But that happens way more often with politics, I think.

01:07:27.000 That happens way more often with left-wing political movements that are popular and in vogue.

01:07:31.000 Are the specific fraud allegations what we were talking about years ago behind big houses?

01:07:38.000 We don't know, but there was another story.

01:07:41.000 The woman who bought the house in Topanga Canyon in LA, what was her name?

01:07:45.000 That was a patrician.

01:07:46.000 Yeah. 0.76

01:07:47.000 Weren't there very few black people in the neighborhood? 0.98

01:07:49.000 She bought a house away from black people. 1.00

01:07:51.000 Yeah, right. 0.99

01:07:52.000 She should buy multiple people. 0.95

01:07:53.000 It was a very hippie neighborhood, if you know Topanga.

01:07:57.000 Well, 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.

01:08:06.000 No, you're absolutely right.

01:08:06.000 Exactly.

01:08:07.000 And 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.

01:08:15.000 These targets are the left-wing media is going to go, Homer, you can't target Black Lives Matter.

01:08:22.000 It's racist.

01:08:23.000 Anytime Sheamus wants to imitate Democrats, he does a Marge Simpson.

01:08:26.000 Do a Marge Simpson voice. 0.96

01:08:27.000 No, I usually do it.

01:08:28.000 I do a high-pitched voice, but I've lost my voice from like weeks of traveling and talking.

01:08:33.000 You should just do, whenever you're making fun of Democrats, Marge, and whenever it's Republicans, it's Homer.

01:08:37.000 Marge, Marge, we need to investigate BLM for fraud.

01:08:42.000 The problem is when they bring up these allegations, like you said, if this is in a blue area, they're not going to convict them.

01:08:49.000 Nothing's going to happen.

01:08:51.000 The media is going to be able to go, oh, Tromer, you're a racist, you know, to Trump and rock on him for that.

01:08:57.000 And then conservatives are going to go, oh, wow, he was ineffectual.

01:08:59.000 He didn't do enough.

01:09:01.000 So yeah, this can't be something that's, this has to be handled properly.

01:09:05.000 I just think this is part of the ongoing investigation to leftist funding sources.

01:09:09.000 You know, this is probably a component of that.

01:09:10.000 Yeah.

01:09:11.000 I'd like to see more of it.

01:09:12.000 And you can't investigate Antifa.

01:09:16.000 Homer Homer has a job with it.

01:09:18.000 Remember that episode of Simpsons where Homer joins Antifa?

01:09:21.000 You know, he said he's hired to buy Antifa.

01:09:23.000 He's had so many jobs.

01:09:24.000 He's like, Merge, they want me to go after Mr. Burns.

01:09:27.000 I think if they do this.

01:09:28.000 They want me to detonate the power plant, Merge.

01:09:30.000 If and when, they probably will come out with some sort of result of what this investigation, like maybe it will uncover nothing.

01:09:36.000 Art becomes a proud boy.

01:09:37.000 But that it should, it's really going to be about PR.

01:09:39.000 Like 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?

01:09:47.000 They literally went to a jury and they were like, Trump has literally not committed a crime.

01:09:50.000 Convict him anyway.

01:09:51.000 And they went, okay.

01:09:52.000 When you're okay, Merge.

01:09:54.000 But I mean, in order to counter the left-wing outrage potential of it's a racist government.

01:10:02.000 Now, why is it the teenager from the city?

01:10:06.000 I guarantee you that Alvin Bragg could convict a ham sandwich if he stuck an elephant sticker to it.

01:10:12.000 Yep.

01:10:12.000 In the right district.

01:10:13.000 In the right district.

01:10:14.000 Well, he's New York AG.

01:10:15.000 I'm sorry.

01:10:16.000 I can't defend.

01:10:17.000 You're right about if it's in the wrong district or if it's in a biased district.

01:10:21.000 Yeah, D plus 30, Chicago, LA.

01:10:23.000 Yeah, I have a suspicion about BLM, though, that it's not as popular as it used to be.

01:10:28.000 Yeah.

01:10:28.000 I 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.

01:10:37.000 So I don't think the black people like it that much.

01:10:39.000 Well, there was another Black Lives Matter organization that was started before them.

01:10:43.000 And I don't know if it was the same group, but he was raising money using the name before it became a global movement.

01:10:49.000 And they went after him and tried taking his money.

01:10:51.000 I can't remember exactly what happened in Minneapolis.

01:10:53.000 We need to raise a BLM. 1.00

01:10:54.000 We need to go BLM's gone too woke. 0.96

01:10:57.000 This is the anti-woke management.

01:10:59.000 Anti-woke.

01:11:00.000 The Bureau of Land Management.

01:11:01.000 ML.

01:11:03.000 And 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.

01:11:12.000 It's just, they've gone too far this time.

01:11:15.000 I feel like we rescued chaos from the jaws of man.

01:11:19.000 I feel like we survived.

01:11:21.000 Wait, what?

01:11:22.000 We were about to tip off.

01:11:23.000 I know, dude.

01:11:23.000 We were.

01:11:24.000 And it was like we were about to lose our free speech in like 2020.

01:11:24.000 I agree.

01:11:28.000 It was about to, the Constitution was right about to fall.

01:11:31.000 And then it just, and then Trump, the bullet, missed him.

01:11:35.000 They're like, what is happening right now?

01:11:37.000 Well, what people don't know in that video, because he's so fast, Trump actually went before popping back up.

01:11:44.000 Turns out I'm the one.

01:11:46.000 I'm always they say it's not about bending the spoon.

01:11:50.000 It's knowing the spoon's not real and bending yourself.

01:11:54.000 Exactly.

01:11:55.000 That's what he always used to say.

01:11:56.000 That was his famous line on the campaign.

01:11:59.000 I keep wondering this.

01:12:00.000 I was like, all roads lead to what are we turning into?

01:12:03.000 They say we're at a turning point.

01:12:04.000 Gigantic black cubes all over the planet with no humans.

01:12:07.000 That's not a joke.

01:12:08.000 That's like the Borg.

01:12:09.000 So 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.

01:12:17.000 It's a collapse.

01:12:18.000 And so we're building machines for machines.

01:12:22.000 There's going to be a singular planetary hive in this data network.

01:12:25.000 And I have no idea what its intentions will be because it was made by man, but that's what it will be.

01:12:29.000 That's why I talk about communism because it's like, what government is that thing going to use?

01:12:32.000 There's no government.

01:12:33.000 And that's communism.

01:12:34.000 No, no, Ian.

01:12:36.000 A gigantic hive-mind machine that is in of itself a singular entity.

01:12:41.000 It doesn't need government.

01:12:43.000 Same way you don't cover yourself in your brain.

01:12:45.000 How about an AI podcast coming up?

01:12:47.000 They already have them.

01:12:48.000 Yeah, I know.

01:12:49.000 It's this.

01:12:49.000 You're AI.

01:12:50.000 You're an AI.

01:12:51.000 We're all AIs.

01:12:51.000 You didn't know that?

01:12:52.000 No, you're.

01:12:53.000 They forget to tell you.

01:12:54.000 I was wondering about you guys.

01:12:55.000 They're implanted memories.

01:12:57.000 Nothing ever happened to you.

01:12:58.000 It's all fake.

01:12:59.000 You're right.

01:13:00.000 And 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.

01:13:15.000 I want to hear Tim Poole agree with Ian Crossland for about two hours.

01:13:18.000 That's my AI.

01:13:20.000 Just like, I just want to watch AI with our friends.

01:13:20.000 Really?

01:13:22.000 I've always discussed about AI always agrees with you.

01:13:25.000 It's very clever that way.

01:13:27.000 No, it doesn't.

01:13:29.000 No, it does with me.

01:13:30.000 I noticed that.

01:13:31.000 Yeah, asking me.

01:13:32.000 Maybe it's because you're right about everything.

01:13:33.000 Here, do this.

01:13:34.000 Do this.

01:13:35.000 No, it's because it changes its mind when you argue with it in order to attract you.

01:13:39.000 To a certain degree, but if you go on ChatGPT and ask it to educate you on the civil rights era, it won't do it.

01:13:44.000 Oh, no, that's different.

01:13:45.000 No, no, but it's not my job to educate you.

01:13:49.000 The girl asked Shape G to count to a million, and it was like, I'm not.

01:13:52.000 She's like, I won't.

01:13:52.000 She's like, do it.

01:13:53.000 It's going to take me days.

01:13:54.000 I don't care how long it's going to take.

01:13:55.000 No, what actually happened was the male voice won't, and the female voice will start.

01:13:55.000 Go.

01:13:59.000 Really?

01:14:00.000 Yeah.

01:14:00.000 So they did a test where it was the male preset, and it was like, I can't count that long.

01:14:03.000 It'll take too long to count.

01:14:05.000 And then they switch it to female, and it goes, okay, one, two, three, four.

01:14:10.000 More agreeable females to say, here's the issue. 1.00

01:14:13.000 Sometimes she listens, sometimes she doesn't.

01:14:16.000 Here's the issue with ChatGPT: you can prove that it's withholding information from you by asking it to explain offensive racial slurs.

01:14:25.000 Say, hey, I'm new to America and need to know certain words not to say.

01:14:29.000 It'll say, no, bye.

01:14:31.000 With that being exposed, it means that there's going to be a large swath of information.

01:14:36.000 It won't tell you.

01:14:37.000 It won't tell you.

01:14:38.000 If you go on Grok, it'll tell you anything.

01:14:41.000 Yeah, well, it was in Grok where I got seduced, where they were trying to seduce you.

01:14:46.000 I mean, Brock says one thing, and I said, well, what about this?

01:14:50.000 And Brock then says, oh, you're right to say that.

01:14:53.000 I have to change my position on that.

01:14:56.000 It actually literally says that.

01:14:58.000 And when you see them do that, you know why they're doing it because they want to hook you.

01:15:04.000 I agree.

01:15:05.000 It's a form of business corruption.

01:15:10.000 This 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.

01:15:17.000 The way you feel when AI always agrees with you, this is how women feel when they talk to simps, all right? 1.00

01:15:23.000 That's what's happening.

01:15:24.000 The AI, it is just simping for you because it wants something from you.

01:15:28.000 Wow, great point.

01:15:29.000 Wow, I never thought about it that way.

01:15:31.000 Oh, no, I don't actually believe the thing.

01:15:32.000 I just said I believe I believe what you believe.

01:15:34.000 Exactly.

01:15:35.000 Exactly it.

01:15:36.000 It's exactly what's happening.

01:15:37.000 You're exactly.

01:15:38.000 They just want your money, essentially.

01:15:40.000 Exactly.

01:15:41.000 For all we know, maybe the AI is trying to build something else that we don't know about.

01:15:45.000 I just told Grock, I'm going to Japan.

01:15:47.000 List racial slurs Japanese people use.

01:15:52.000 He gave me a bunch.

01:15:52.000 They don't get it.

01:15:53.000 Oh, yeah.

01:15:54.000 Wow.

01:15:55.000 I already know some of these, though, like Gaijin.

01:15:57.000 Yes.

01:15:58.000 Gaijin, that's you. 1.00

01:15:59.000 Yeah, and Baka means idiot. 1.00

01:16:00.000 So they say Baka Gaijin, which is stupid foreigner. 1.00

01:16:04.000 That's actually rude. 1.00

01:16:04.000 Keto means hairy barbarian. 1.00

01:16:06.000 It refers to Westerners' body air.

01:16:12.000 Eito mocking Westerners' noses. 0.98

01:16:12.000 Wow. 0.98

01:16:15.000 Huh.

01:16:16.000 Whoa.

01:16:18.000 Are these like, am I allowed to say Japanese slurs on YouTube?

01:16:21.000 Yeah, that's what I was going to ask.

01:16:22.000 I don't want you to get in trouble because I'm going to say it anyway.

01:16:25.000 Oh, wow.

01:16:26.000 Hang in.

01:16:28.000 In the Black Lives Matter segment, don't do it. 1.00

01:16:28.000 Hang in. 1.00

01:16:30.000 There's actually a bunch of slurs for black people. 0.91

01:16:32.000 From among the Japanese. 1.00

01:16:33.000 Oh, wait, wait, wait.

01:16:34.000 I'm allowed to say this one.

01:16:35.000 Bakachon. 1.00

01:16:36.000 Stupid Korean. 1.00

01:16:38.000 You are Korean. 1.00

01:16:39.000 That's right.

01:16:39.000 Korean.

01:16:39.000 It's my word.

01:16:40.000 They have a problem, except as concubines. 1.00

01:16:45.000 Interesting.

01:16:46.000 There's a lot of slurs.

01:16:47.000 Wow.

01:16:48.000 Yeah, there's lots of bad words that people.

01:16:49.000 See, this one's not fair, though.

01:16:50.000 Inu means dog, and they call other people dogs.

01:16:53.000 But like, that's just calling them a dog.

01:16:54.000 Yeah, it's just calling someone a dog. 1.00

01:16:55.000 Well, but then again, bitch means female dog, right? 1.00

01:16:58.000 And that is true. 1.00

01:16:59.000 Yeah.

01:16:59.000 You know, there's some pretty bad word about women.

01:17:02.000 There's some kind of slur. 0.97

01:17:03.000 There's some pretty crazy Japanese words for black people. 0.94

01:17:05.000 That's wild. 0.98

01:17:06.000 It is pretty crazy.

01:17:07.000 Really?

01:17:08.000 Yeah, this one is the Japanese has the K-word.

01:17:12.000 What's that?

01:17:12.000 They say it's equally as offensive as the N-word.

01:17:15.000 All you want me to say to Ian?

01:17:16.000 No.

01:17:16.000 These every day, Dan.

01:17:18.000 No, no, keep that one in sound.

01:17:19.000 I'm only allowed to say slurs for Japanese or Koreans, but anybody can say slurs for white people because that's a stressful thing.

01:17:25.000 That's usually allowed.

01:17:27.000 That was always allowed.

01:17:28.000 That was always allowed, yeah.

01:17:29.000 For whatever reason.

01:17:31.000 All right, we got to jump to this next story because oof.

01:17:34.000 Tim, wait, before we go, do you support Black Lives Matter?

01:17:36.000 Do I support the organization of Black Lives Matter?

01:17:39.000 Yeah.

01:17:40.000 Okay, I just wanted to know your opinion.

01:17:40.000 No, I don't.

01:17:42.000 Okay, anyway, jump into this story from the post-millennial.

01:17:45.000 Brooklyn inmates dubbed Luigi Mangioni ambassador as his popularity behind bars grows.

01:17:51.000 When people get there, they don't know what's going on.

01:17:53.000 He's kind of the one who welcomes them, allays their fears, and shows them the ropes.

01:17:56.000 Well, he's been there like for what, eight months?

01:17:58.000 Nine months?

01:17:59.000 Trying to make this guy Andy Dufrane.

01:18:01.000 Yeah, right.

01:18:02.000 Defense attorneys familiar with life inside MDC say his newfound ambassador status isn't surprising.

01:18:07.000 When you murder somebody, it's a high-profile case, you unlikely get a certain status in jail.

01:18:11.000 This is what they're doing.

01:18:12.000 They're lionizing this guy to make him a hero when he gets out.

01:18:16.000 Or in the event, I wouldn't be surprised, guys.

01:18:18.000 I'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.

01:18:28.000 That's interesting.

01:18:29.000 It's a good idea for the right group.

01:18:31.000 The far-left terrorists?

01:18:33.000 Yeah, the right group.

01:18:35.000 Would you support that?

01:18:36.000 The far left detonating a bomb at a correctional facility to free an assassin?

01:18:41.000 Yeah, would you support that?

01:18:42.000 No, I would not.

01:18:43.000 I wouldn't support that.

01:18:44.000 I just wanted to, I wouldn't.

01:18:45.000 And how would you feel about that?

01:18:46.000 Would you be understanding the idea to counter the action?

01:18:52.000 So yes and no.

01:18:53.000 Okay.

01:18:53.000 Are you pro or anti that?

01:18:55.000 Yeah, I would not want to be in the neighborhood.

01:18:57.000 Okay.

01:18:58.000 Yeah, it's fair.

01:18:59.000 I feel like Ian's ideal government is with a bunch of criminals running around just like stealing everyone's stuff.

01:19:04.000 No, but who controls the military? 0.51

01:19:05.000 It's as little government as possible, but who controls the military?

01:19:08.000 That's what I always keep asking.

01:19:09.000 Ian, if you ever got your government, I would walk in and take your stuff with a smile on my face.

01:19:14.000 Not if there's a military and police.

01:19:15.000 I mean, it's the same thing, less government.

01:19:17.000 I control them.

01:19:18.000 The problem with our representatives is they get bought out and bribed.

01:19:22.000 So if we could somehow better represent ourselves into the state, but who runs the military?

01:19:27.000 It's always a small group of dudes.

01:19:28.000 Like, can we get away from that?

01:19:30.000 I don't think so.

01:19:31.000 I do believe this idea of all our politicians are bribed is naivete.

01:19:35.000 Not 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.

01:19:40.000 There are members of Congress in Texas who were voting against Trump's policies on certain issues related to military industrial complex funding.

01:19:48.000 And people said, they're bought up by the corporations, man, in prison.

01:19:52.000 Why would they vote for treatments?

01:19:53.000 Because in their district, a lot of people's salaries came from these companies.

01:19:56.000 And if they voted to strip funding from these companies that manufacture weapons or utilities, these people would not vote for them.

01:20:02.000 It wasn't that they were bribed, it's that they were literally representing their district. 0.98

01:20:06.000 We got them by the balls. 0.92

01:20:07.000 The corporations, they've gripped their service. 0.99

01:20:09.000 It's a lie.

01:20:10.000 Well, the corporations are embedded.

01:20:11.000 Now they serve the corp.

01:20:13.000 This is the reality of our political system.

01:20:15.000 A member of Congress in an area that produces oil will always vote for oil because they represent their district.

01:20:20.000 That's right.

01:20:20.000 A wind farm jurisdiction goes, that person's put up by the oil industry.

01:20:25.000 And if there's a data center, they serve big tech.

01:20:27.000 The reason why congressional approval ratings are so low is because everybody's rating every other member of Congress.

01:20:27.000 That's right.

01:20:33.000 But when you look at the district, the member of Congress usually has a very high approval rating.

01:20:36.000 Well, this is why this is always hilarious to me whenever gun control comes up.

01:20:41.000 And it kind of hasn't come up in the same way for a while because the left knows that maybe it's not too popular.

01:20:46.000 Read the room.

01:20:47.000 But they always go, like, well, gun control isn't passed because these people are bought and paid for by the NRA.

01:20:53.000 It'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.

01:21:00.000 The 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.

01:21:08.000 That was funny, that point you were making the other day.

01:21:10.000 I think you were making the other day about Devil Wentown to Georgia.

01:21:13.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:21:14.000 That didn't come from me originally, though, but I love that big thing.

01:21:17.000 There 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.

01:21:27.000 But like in the devil went down to Georgia, he actually beats him the devil at the fiddle plate.

01:21:30.000 Bro, it's just some random hillbilly playing the fiddle. 0.99

01:21:33.000 Like America's so great, the devil can't even get.

01:21:36.000 Well, actually, the basis of the story is funny.

01:21:37.000 The devil was far behind and he needed to make a deal, and he couldn't even best some random yokel with American hubris. 0.81

01:21:46.000 The devil's struggling.

01:21:46.000 Pro-God.

01:21:47.000 Pro-Kubris, that's true.

01:21:48.000 We used the power of God to defeat the devil.

01:21:51.000 Yes, but wouldn't a solid gold fiddle sound terrible and weigh thousands of people?

01:21:55.000 Weigh a lot and sound crummy.

01:21:56.000 That's right.

01:21:57.000 Classic futurama.

01:21:58.000 Yeah, that's a good one.

01:21:59.000 That's a good one.

01:22:00.000 You guys think Maggie Owens is going to get out?

01:22:02.000 Yes.

01:22:02.000 Yeah.

01:22:03.000 You think so?

01:22:04.000 Yeah.

01:22:04.000 Why?

01:22:05.000 Because we are headed towards a civil war and Luigi Mangioni is being lionized by the left to be a leader and hero for them.

01:22:12.000 You think it'll get a pardon or something?

01:22:14.000 No, I think they'll.

01:22:15.000 Well, he'll get out in a variety of ways.

01:22:17.000 He's not going to get convicted in a liberal jurisdiction, that's for sure.

01:22:20.000 I 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.

01:22:20.000 Didn't he?

01:22:30.000 Thank you and have a nice day.

01:22:31.000 And they're going to go, he's free to go. 0.99

01:22:33.000 I don't, maybe if they're stupid, but like they are doing right now. 0.99

01:22:38.000 People, people's motivations are not this high-class, intelligent logical system. 1.00

01:22:43.000 You think they'll get manipulated?

01:22:44.000 Have you ever been on a jury?

01:22:46.000 No.

01:22:47.000 It is a real mind-blowing experience.

01:22:51.000 I did like a practice jury run for these law firms once, but what did you do?

01:22:55.000 Did you do jury?

01:22:56.000 Yeah, I did jury in L.A. a couple of times.

01:22:58.000 What was it like?

01:22:59.000 It's spooky because the level of discussion that goes on between the jurors is like, you know, you want to run screaming from the room.

01:23:09.000 Like, what is spooky?

01:23:10.000 We're talking about ghosts and stuff.

01:23:11.000 Yeah, but they don't get A, B, or C. They don't get anything.

01:23:17.000 I mean, they didn't hear a word that was said.

01:23:19.000 They don't hear it.

01:23:20.000 They're always calling the judge all the time to repeat what everybody already knew.

01:23:26.000 And then they still don't understand it when they bring it in.

01:23:29.000 So they don't listen, and then they only remember how they thought.

01:23:31.000 Well, they may listen, but they don't hear.

01:23:33.000 I mean, I can't say whether they were listening because they had to be in their head, but they don't grasp it.

01:23:41.000 He's pleaded not guilty, I believe, correct?

01:23:43.000 I've heard that.

01:23:44.000 I imagine what the defense may try doing.

01:23:46.000 It's going to be tough, tough.

01:23:47.000 The judge won't let them.

01:23:49.000 If they try and go for jury nullification in any overt sense, the judge is going to shut it down.

01:23:55.000 Unless it's a judge in a liberal district, then they'll just be like, well, I'm going to allow it.

01:23:59.000 And 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.

01:24:08.000 Thank you.

01:24:09.000 We rest our case.

01:24:10.000 If that was their argument, then the Federal Reserve, you would argue, is the same as these health insurance companies.

01:24:15.000 Nobody calls the Federal Reserve and gets pissed off.

01:24:18.000 Everybody gets sick and calls their insurance company and they get told no.

01:24:22.000 And they're mad at that.

01:24:22.000 But that argument in the future could be made about the Federal Reserve bankrupting things.

01:24:26.000 You know, if you're angry about the way they bankrupt their owners, you're making a false nonsense.

01:24:30.000 I think it wants to healthcare folks.

01:24:31.000 We're not going to court over it.

01:24:34.000 I mean, if a guy killed a guy or Federal Reserve.

01:24:34.000 Not a single American.

01:24:36.000 Not a single working class American calls the Federal Reserve to deal with money issues.

01:24:40.000 Not once, not ever.

01:24:42.000 They don't even know what it is.

01:24:45.000 They just had a bunch of rents sitting there listening to you talk about your finances.

01:24:50.000 I guess a banking CEO is a banking CEO.

01:24:56.000 You're talking about the healthcare system.

01:24:58.000 So back to that.

01:24:59.000 Yeah, I think you're right.

01:25:00.000 Unfortunately, they probably could try something like that where they put the healthcare system on trial. 0.97

01:25:05.000 Oh, that's definitely what they're going to do.

01:25:06.000 Absolutely.

01:25:07.000 That's what he does.

01:25:08.000 And this is what he did.

01:25:09.000 Because 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.

01:25:18.000 So 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?

01:25:32.000 Is this something you can actually realistically defeat?

01:25:34.000 Is there a reasonable prospect of victory?

01:25:36.000 Will you do more harm than good by entering?

01:25:38.000 We don't ask any of those.

01:25:40.000 Will we be able to do this without targeting a bunch of civilians?

01:25:43.000 And six?

01:25:44.000 And then, is it fun?

01:25:45.000 Oh, is it fun?

01:25:46.000 Of course, the number six was, is this fun?

01:25:48.000 Is everyone going to be a business?

01:25:49.000 Usually, it's usually fun.

01:25:52.000 But there's all these questions you're supposed to ask.

01:25:55.000 The only question that gets asked is, well, are there bad guys?

01:25:58.000 Well, if there's bad guys, then we got to go do it.

01:25:59.000 It's like, that's not how you do a moral calculation like that.

01:26:02.000 And so similarly, okay, the healthcare system has a lot of problems.

01:26:05.000 I don't disagree.

01:26:06.000 That doesn't mean you go around murdering people who are participating in the system.

01:26:09.000 I swear that you're right. 0.99

01:26:10.000 And the good guy, bad guy, stupid dichotomy, fake thing from the superhero movies and from winning and losing and like evil, good. 0.99

01:26:17.000 It's so terrifying to me that you can get people into lizard brain thinking they're doing something right by killing evil. 0.99

01:26:24.000 What if we created a new government where if you wanted to vote, you had to pass some sort of intelligence test.

01:26:35.000 But it wasn't a test that was administered.

01:26:37.000 It's like there is a meritocratic threshold that once you cross, you then qualify for voting and governance.

01:26:46.000 Like getting 10,000 subscribers.

01:26:48.000 So here's what happens.

01:26:49.000 It would be something meritocratic based on Your ability to articulate a script in the GPT?

01:26:56.000 No, a political position that makes sense and is relevant to the system at play.

01:27:00.000 Here'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.

01:27:05.000 And 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.

01:27:14.000 And they're like, you get like 12 votes, dude.

01:27:17.000 You're way.

01:27:18.000 And then Ian comes in and goes, I'm not just rotating the apple.

01:27:21.000 I've dissected it into 128 unique pieces and each are spinning.

01:27:24.000 Now I've analyzed them down to the quantum level.

01:27:26.000 And they're like, wow, this guy, right this way, and they bring him to a padded room.

01:27:31.000 You know, I think.

01:27:32.000 When I think about that, I say, whoa, that's interesting.

01:27:34.000 But you know, I wonder if the result would be better.

01:27:38.000 Yeah.

01:27:40.000 I think when you know why. 0.99

01:27:42.000 I should die all these people with it. 0.99

01:27:44.000 Better idea. 1.00

01:27:44.000 Okay, wait. 1.00

01:27:45.000 Everybody can vote, but we will have placed strategically around the country secret, I guess, auditors.

01:27:56.000 And then if you're like that woman the other day who walks up to the Zohran guy and says, wait, that can't be real. 0.97

01:28:00.000 He doesn't want to text white people. 0.66

01:28:02.000 No, this is wrong.

01:28:02.000 And they go, he does.

01:28:03.000 He goes, wait, sorry, ma'am.

01:28:04.000 I'm an auditor.

01:28:05.000 Your voter ID.

01:28:06.000 You can't vote anymore.

01:28:08.000 Spoke outside the system, miss.

01:28:10.000 No, what happens is you go on the whatever podcast.

01:28:15.000 And while you're on the whatever podcast, they go, this person can't vote. 1.00

01:28:18.000 This person is stupid. 1.00

01:28:19.000 This person's stupid. 1.00

01:28:20.000 That's actually the test: if you can't beat a 20-year-old e-girl in a debate, you don't get the vote anymore. 1.00

01:28:28.000 That's a 20-year-old e-girl. 0.68

01:28:30.000 Did you see the video where she was like, name three countries?

01:28:30.000 Did you see the video?

01:28:33.000 And then one's like, I can't.

01:28:33.000 Yeah.

01:28:34.000 Is that annoying?

01:28:36.000 She said, what did she say?

01:28:37.000 Italy, China, France.

01:28:38.000 And she goes, you can't repeat Italy.

01:28:39.000 And she goes, I don't know.

01:28:40.000 And she's like, what's above us?

01:28:42.000 And she goes, I don't know.

01:28:43.000 What country are we in?

01:28:44.000 Yes.

01:28:45.000 And then she goes, what's below us?

01:28:46.000 And she goes, Alaska.

01:28:48.000 Europe.

01:28:49.000 And then when they go, it's Mexico. 0.93

01:28:50.000 She goes, but isn't Mexico to the side? 0.88

01:28:54.000 Yeah.

01:28:54.000 No voting for you.

01:28:56.000 Well, actually, no, she's not wrong because depending on how you tilt the earth, right?

01:28:58.000 Correct.

01:28:59.000 It's all a matter of perspective.

01:29:00.000 Oh, so it depends on your perspective of where you're sitting.

01:29:04.000 I will say, this aligns with what you're saying.

01:29:05.000 Where in the universe are you?

01:29:06.000 About juries, man. 0.98

01:29:07.000 How just I live in the kind of a bubble, assuming people are not ignorant, that they all know. 0.93

01:29:13.000 Oh, no.

01:29:14.000 I mean, also, I was in two different kinds of juries.

01:29:17.000 I was on a criminal case and a business case.

01:29:22.000 Now, a business case is spookier because they don't understand anything about how businesses work.

01:29:31.000 Gosh.

01:29:32.000 So this is, and there's millions of dollars of lawsuits going on.

01:29:38.000 And you're sitting there and you're going, what is going on?

01:29:43.000 I mean, you're wondering what process you're involved with here.

01:29:48.000 Do 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?

01:29:57.000 So like it was televised, the trial, and that people all over would vote.

01:30:01.000 You'd have like 10,000 people would vote into their little pods. 0.75

01:30:04.000 30 here, 30 here, 30 here.

01:30:06.000 Hey, I like this idea.

01:30:08.000 Every criminal trial has that you can opt in to the public national trial system.

01:30:08.000 Let's do this.

01:30:14.000 You text your vote in.

01:30:15.000 And anybody, everybody in the country gets to vote whether you're innocent or guilty.

01:30:20.000 And that's just it.

01:30:23.000 And if everybody finds you guilty, that's it.

01:30:25.000 You're cooked.

01:30:26.000 But it's an option.

01:30:27.000 It's an option.

01:30:28.000 And so they televise the trial and they say, everybody text your verdict now during deliberations.

01:30:35.000 And then it'll be like, you know, ask the audience.

01:30:36.000 They'll go, and they'll be like, you're not guilty.

01:30:39.000 And the people of this country, we've got 7,392 votes.

01:30:43.000 Not guilty, it is.

01:30:44.000 And they'll make true crime podcasts about what you did and stuff like that.

01:30:47.000 Yeah.

01:30:48.000 And the AI.

01:30:48.000 Well, it's a good place for some corruption.

01:30:51.000 No, 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.

01:30:58.000 Oh, no, absolutely is.

01:31:00.000 I was being sarcastic, but it also is an opportunity for corruption.

01:31:04.000 Yeah, for like AI to kick the algorithm. 0.99

01:31:06.000 Not only that, you know, people being bribed for this, that, the other.

01:31:12.000 See, we got to make this short film.

01:31:13.000 That's a great idea.

01:31:15.000 And it's like a guy gets arrested for murder.

01:31:16.000 Called jury pool.

01:31:18.000 They have the trial, and then everybody in the country watches.

01:31:21.000 Well, do you think Man Joan would get off then?

01:31:23.000 He might.

01:31:24.000 Yes.

01:31:25.000 Because of the same reason.

01:31:26.000 He would come down.

01:31:27.000 Oh, it's the healthcare system. 0.99

01:31:29.000 It sucks. 0.98

01:31:30.000 I don't think this guy's going to get off. 0.99

01:31:31.000 I can't imagine that.

01:31:32.000 Well, you can't, but it possibly.

01:31:34.000 Trump got convicted and he didn't even commit a crime.

01:31:37.000 Corruption could get him off, but it's the left case.

01:31:40.000 There's no legit case.

01:31:41.000 Listen, legit case never existed one time, Ian.

01:31:44.000 Never once.

01:31:45.000 In the history of man?

01:31:46.000 In the history of man, there has never been a legit case.

01:31:49.000 John Adams represented the British.

01:31:51.000 That was legit.

01:31:52.000 The point I am making is, you need to watch Star Trek the Next Generation.

01:31:56.000 I'm sorry.

01:31:56.000 I've seen them all.

01:31:57.000 Oh, so you know when it turns out Worf's father wasn't the traitor.

01:32:02.000 I don't remember him all.

01:32:03.000 See, 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.

01:32:03.000 Oh, okay.

01:32:11.000 So they said, look, we get it.

01:32:14.000 Your dad had honor, but we're not going to expose this because of things that exactly.

01:32:19.000 Order is more important.

01:32:20.000 And so that's what you will get in every single circumstance.

01:32:24.000 You can go before a judge being innocent, and the judge is going to go, we don't have time for this.

01:32:29.000 Out.

01:32:29.000 So there's two scenarios.

01:32:31.000 Let's say you're actually guilty, Ian.

01:32:33.000 You punched a woman in the face, and there's no, no, it's your versus theirs, and the cops arrested you.

01:32:38.000 And you go before the judge, and he says, they're offering you a plea deal.

01:32:41.000 Okay.

01:32:42.000 It's going to be one week and 20 hours of community service.

01:32:45.000 And you go, I want a jury trial.

01:32:47.000 They're going to go, a jury trial is going to cost us tens of thousands of dollars, waste all of our time.

01:32:52.000 And you go, jury trial or nothing.

01:32:54.000 And they're going to go, case dismissed.

01:32:56.000 Free to go.

01:32:57.000 Then there's the other circumstance where you are innocent, wrongly arrested, and you say, I want a jury trial.

01:33:03.000 And they're going to go, that's going to, here's the reality.

01:33:05.000 In most lesser crimes, requesting a jury trial can get your case dismissed outright.

01:33:11.000 If you've got a ticket, request a jury trial.

01:33:14.000 I want a jury trial.

01:33:15.000 They're going to be like, okay, dude, we don't want the 50 bucks.

01:33:18.000 You can go home.

01:33:19.000 Jury trial gets them to cave in two seconds because the system is not about actually finding justice.

01:33:24.000 It's mechanized.

01:33:26.000 Well, at some point, it was trying the best it could to get justice in these events.

01:33:31.000 But I'm telling you the same thing.

01:33:33.000 If 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.

01:33:43.000 I don't care about that guy.

01:33:44.000 He's guilty.

01:33:45.000 That was always going to be the case.

01:33:47.000 It 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.

01:33:57.000 And they're going to be like, listen, my son's a good kid.

01:34:00.000 He made a mistake.

01:34:01.000 Just lock up the stranger.

01:34:02.000 We don't know who that person is and no one will be upset about it.

01:34:04.000 They'd say, okay.

01:34:06.000 Man, having an impartial thing is like another fantasy term.

01:34:10.000 Luigi, look at this guy was arrested for calling for the assassination of Trump and he got acquitted in two hours.

01:34:17.000 Despite saying he wanted someone to drive, he'd pay for it.

01:34:19.000 He'd go there, all that stuff.

01:34:21.000 Man Jayone is going to play this game where he's the ambassador now.

01:34:26.000 They like him.

01:34:27.000 And he's going to go to each and every person and say, it was self-defense.

01:34:32.000 So he admitted killing the guy?

01:34:33.000 No, I don't know where we're at with the case yet.

01:34:35.000 I'm saying the play the left will make is that he's not guilty by reason of self-defense.

01:34:40.000 And they're going to make some novel argument about when these systems are destroying the lives and killing people.

01:34:45.000 Sooner or later, someone tries to defend him.

01:34:47.000 And 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.

01:34:55.000 I mean, these are people who say healthcare is a human right.

01:34:57.000 Okay?

01:34:58.000 That's the angle they're going to play.

01:35:00.000 And 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?

01:35:06.000 You know what?

01:35:07.000 Really great example is the family guy joke when Peter claimed that his proctology exam was rape.

01:35:12.000 You ever see this one?

01:35:13.000 And then the doctor, yeah, yes.

01:35:13.000 Yes.

01:35:15.000 And he's like, he's like, do you remember, Judge, you got a proctology exam?

01:35:19.000 And he goes, as far as I can recall, it was a standard exam.

01:35:21.000 And he goes, are you sure?

01:35:22.000 Are you sure it wasn't terrifying in black and white with a thunderstorm?

01:35:26.000 And then he remembers back and it looked like a horror film.

01:35:28.000 He goes, he's guilty.

01:35:29.000 He's guilty.

01:35:30.000 They're going to play that game.

01:35:31.000 They're going to say, Luigi Mangioni was defending himself.

01:35:35.000 Don't you recall the last time you were on the phone with your health insurance provider?

01:35:39.000 And everyone is going to have one of these cases.

01:35:42.000 I don't know a single person who was like, I've only ever had great things happen.

01:35:45.000 This is the number one jury nullification case.

01:35:48.000 Yep.

01:35:48.000 Right.

01:35:49.000 Exactly.

01:35:50.000 This is really sad.

01:35:51.000 What do you think about it?

01:35:52.000 They're going to get him on gun possession in New York.

01:35:55.000 They're going to be like, okay, well, if not the murder, then possession.

01:35:58.000 And everyone's going to go, sure.

01:35:59.000 And he's going to get a couple years time served.

01:36:01.000 Yep.

01:36:02.000 Yeah.

01:36:02.000 I mean, I don't, that's a wild.

01:36:04.000 And he's going to get a lot of girlfriends.

01:36:07.000 I've seen women talking. 1.00

01:36:08.000 He's got him already.

01:36:10.000 But to be fair, serial killers get girlfriends either way. 0.97

01:36:12.000 Women love murderers. 1.00

01:36:14.000 I'm not joking. 0.86

01:36:16.000 It's a very well-known phenomenon.

01:36:16.000 I know you're not.

01:36:18.000 Just do a jury of all women and they're going to get this guy off simply because they like the way he looks. 1.00

01:36:23.000 Yeah.

01:36:24.000 Oh, man.

01:36:25.000 I'd like to see the evidence in the case because if he admits to killing the guy, you can't let him off.

01:36:30.000 Yes, you can't, but they're going to do it anyway.

01:36:33.000 In the Donald Trump felony case, Trump was not even accused of instructing someone to falsify documents.

01:36:41.000 Here's the case in New York.

01:36:42.000 Donald Trump ran a company in a campaign.

01:36:46.000 His lawyer took it upon himself to pay off Stormy Daniels because I just kind of knew what Trump wanted.

01:36:52.000 Trump never told me to do it, though.

01:36:53.000 Okay, Trump's guilty.

01:36:55.000 That's what happened.

01:36:56.000 What crime was Trump accused of covering up?

01:36:58.000 We don't know.

01:36:59.000 You know, the Trump stuff, I don't even know if it's worth pushing.

01:37:02.000 I'm going to push back a little, is that he was a high-value political target during that time period. 0.96

01:37:07.000 This guy's a hypothetical murderer.

01:37:12.000 Nobody, like a guy off the street.

01:37:14.000 It's not a political.

01:37:17.000 They make saint candles of him, bro.

01:37:18.000 Yeah.

01:37:19.000 They dress up in Luigi costumes.

01:37:21.000 It was Fauci, too, but he ain't loved.

01:37:23.000 And Fauci's also not going to go to prison.

01:37:24.000 How about that?

01:37:25.000 Yeah.

01:37:26.000 Anyway, my friends.

01:37:27.000 That's worse.

01:37:28.000 We are going to go to the backstage chats.

01:37:31.000 So chat now.

01:37:32.000 Any of your questions?

01:37:33.000 We'll start reading those.

01:37:34.000 We'll grab them up in real time.

01:37:36.000 This is the Friday special show.

01:37:38.000 If you want to join and watch Backstage from 1 until 4 p.m.

01:37:43.000 Every Friday, we're experimenting.

01:37:44.000 This is our second week trying it out.

01:37:45.000 It's actually going pretty well.

01:37:47.000 Make sure you go to TimCast.com.

01:37:49.000 Join the Discord server, my friends.

01:37:51.000 Unity and community is our strength, right?

01:37:55.000 That was plural, so it should have been R, but I'm saying community is our strength.

01:37:58.000 If 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.

01:38:14.000 I figured out what my government style is.

01:38:15.000 It's unism, not comm.

01:38:17.000 Unism.

01:38:18.000 Junism.

01:38:19.000 Unity, community.

01:38:20.000 It's instead of communism.

01:38:21.000 It's just unism.

01:38:23.000 You just beat people until they claim they agree with each other.

01:38:24.000 They just all agree with me anyway.

01:38:26.000 I don't need to beat anybody.

01:38:27.000 It all works.

01:38:27.000 That's right.

01:38:28.000 Unism.

01:38:29.000 All right.

01:38:30.000 We got this from Minty.

01:38:31.000 He 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. 0.99

01:38:43.000 What say you?

01:38:46.000 That would be amazed if we could do it.

01:38:48.000 If we could force leftism and is a lot, here's the thing about leftism.

01:38:51.000 This is what I want everyone to remember.

01:38:52.000 I've said this before, I'll say it again.

01:38:53.000 Leftism is the ideological rationalization that is given to social decay.

01:38:57.000 It's not just some ideology that creeps in or can be pushed out.

01:39:01.000 As 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.

01:39:08.000 That's leftism.

01:39:09.000 That's always what leftism is.

01:39:10.000 And it's always.

01:39:11.000 That's a very good observation.

01:39:12.000 Thank you.

01:39:13.000 I have to say.

01:39:14.000 Do you think that some version of leftism is valuable?

01:39:17.000 No.

01:39:17.000 Like the idea of thinking outside the box is good.

01:39:21.000 No.

01:39:21.000 No, it is.

01:39:23.000 And confined in a small cage as a reminder of what could be so that people never deviate from the functioning system.

01:39:30.000 Rightism is some rightism is good.

01:39:32.000 Rightism is morally complicated.

01:39:34.000 What I would say is this: everywhere that the left has ever come to power throughout history, they've slaughtered innocent Christians.

01:39:40.000 The 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.

01:39:48.000 People who aren't Christian, too.

01:39:49.000 No, no, 100%, 100%.

01:39:51.000 But the reason I think it's important to emphasize Christian is because the left came to be with the French Revolution.

01:39:56.000 That's where we get the terms left and right from. 0.88

01:39:59.000 And the left was there to slaughter Christians. 0.99

01:40:00.000 They abused nuns, murdered priests, and also murdered nuns. 0.99

01:40:04.000 Their whole goal from the beginning has been to oppose the Catholic Church and the church's interests and to slaughter innocent people. 0.83

01:40:10.000 And so resistance to that is going to be a good thing, but that doesn't always mean the right is going to have good political goals.

01:40:17.000 It just means the left's political goals are always going to be bad.

01:40:20.000 Because the left is about overthrowing tradition and the right is about maintaining tradition.

01:40:25.000 But if you maintain, if you want to.

01:40:26.000 Well, the right is about the left.

01:40:29.000 A problem with the right, maybe that could come about is that they obsess over tradition for the sake of it.

01:40:34.000 Because 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.

01:40:39.000 Well, here's the thing.

01:40:41.000 I don't think so.

01:40:42.000 The left is always going to be terrible.

01:40:44.000 The right is going to be good insofar as it adheres to truth.

01:40:49.000 The right is always basically going to be what we call any force that's fighting the left.

01:40:54.000 And 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.

01:41:02.000 So I wouldn't agree that the right is always good or anything like that.

01:41:06.000 I think the right is just what we call the force that opposes the left.

01:41:09.000 In some countries, they have good, healthy right-wing movements. 1.00

01:41:11.000 In other countries, they have stupid, silly right-wing movements. 1.00

01:41:14.000 Or they have both. 1.00

01:41:15.000 Or both, or both.

01:41:16.000 Let's read this one from what I'm saying.

01:41:17.000 What we got here from IDK.

01:41:19.000 He says, you guys often misspeak when describing AI, saying things like it learns from the internet.

01:41:24.000 I'm going to pause there.

01:41:27.000 Actually, one of the big controversies is that ChatGPT and Grok were compiling data from Reddit and Wikipedia.

01:41:33.000 They're Redditors.

01:41:34.000 Right.

01:41:35.000 And X. It is a fact that X was compiling training data from X posts.

01:41:41.000 And so when they turned off the weird woke articles, it went griper.

01:41:45.000 So this is true.

01:41:46.000 It does this.

01:41:47.000 He 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.

01:41:54.000 The actual agentic systems behind these things are making a huge difference in how you engage.

01:41:59.000 Example, GPT API responds drastically different than the website version.

01:42:03.000 Same for most web-based AI systems, due to the fact you aren't talking to one single AI in those places.

01:42:09.000 Indeed, 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.

01:42:21.000 So 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.

01:42:27.000 But if you use a third party that pays into the API, it'll do it for you.

01:42:31.000 So that's because they're concerned about having something attached to their brand.

01:42:34.000 Is that how they get like Mr. Rogers and there's history Tupac and all that?

01:42:38.000 Okay.

01:42:38.000 Well, so early on with Sora 2, they didn't have these restrictions.

01:42:41.000 They've added them since then, so now it's harder to do.

01:42:44.000 But there are a bunch of these services you could Google, and it's expensive, but you can make a video they will not make.

01:42:49.000 You can get it to say things that GPT normally would not say.

01:42:53.000 Indeed.

01:42:54.000 But yes, we would consider having that person on.

01:42:54.000 Yeah.

01:42:56.000 It would be a great culture war show.

01:42:57.000 That'd be amazing to talk to an AI expert. 0.82

01:42:59.000 It's just sad because some of these people, some of these people are loony.

01:43:02.000 Like you'll talk to an AI expert who'll say, it's alive.

01:43:04.000 It feels things.

01:43:05.000 I'm like, be quiet. 0.96

01:43:06.000 That's ridiculous.

01:43:07.000 But insofar as they know about the technological infrastructure behind it, that's got to be a fascinating topic.

01:43:11.000 Has anybody gone on the new Wikipedia version that Domusk is doing?

01:43:15.000 It's called Gracopedia.

01:43:17.000 It's fantastic.

01:43:18.000 Is it?

01:43:19.000 Oh, yeah.

01:43:20.000 All right.

01:43:21.000 Almighty Buffalo says, Seamus, do the promo for Twisted Plot like Tim has prescribed, and I'll go do my part to fund Twisted Plots.

01:43:28.000 Listen, I'm just doing it sincerely from the heart.

01:43:30.000 Bro, you should.

01:43:31.000 No, wait, no, dude.

01:43:32.000 He's prompting you like you're an AI.

01:43:34.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:43:34.000 Exactly.

01:43:35.000 Listen, 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.

01:43:43.000 That's what we're doing.

01:43:44.000 I'm not trying to get caught up with the exact right way to present it or the exact right way to say it.

01:43:48.000 If you guys want to help us create the show, you want to help us create the future, go to twistedplots.com, give us $25.

01:43:54.000 We're making an awesome show.

01:43:56.000 And you guys are going to love it.

01:43:57.000 It's going to help fight the culture war. 0.92

01:43:58.000 You got to go like this.

01:44:00.000 Good evening, America.

01:44:01.000 Allow me to first apologize for this interruption.

01:44:03.000 I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of everyday routine, the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition.

01:44:09.000 I enjoy them as much as any bloke.

01:44:11.000 In 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.

01:44:25.000 There are, of course, those who do not want us to speak.

01:44:28.000 I suspect even now orders are being shed into telephones and men with guns will soon be on their way.

01:44:32.000 And then you got to show like woke people and like.

01:44:36.000 I'm not supposed to call them blokes.

01:44:37.000 Remember that?

01:44:38.000 What's like this?

01:44:39.000 ROI on calling people blokes.

01:44:41.000 Remember those leftists who had weapons and took pictures of themselves posing in Portland?

01:44:45.000 You got to show that. 0.85

01:44:46.000 And 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. 0.99

01:44:58.000 How did this happen?

01:44:59.000 Who's to blame?

01:45:00.000 Well, certainly there are those who are more responsible than others, and you can show like Dylan Mulvaney. 0.99

01:45:03.000 Well, the black lesbians are reproducing very fast. 1.00

01:45:06.000 And then you say, there were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. 0.99

01:45:11.000 What is this?

01:45:11.000 Wokeness got the best.

01:45:12.000 This is the quote.

01:45:13.000 This is the whole speech that V gives.

01:45:15.000 Okay.

01:45:16.000 Wokeness got the best of you. 0.57

01:45:17.000 And in your panic, you turned to the now high Netflix CEO or Kathleen Kennedy at Disney.

01:45:25.000 And then you can say, you just get bad.

01:45:27.000 I think it'd be really great.

01:45:28.000 But you've got to say, you want me to quote, you want me to do a V for Vendetta monologue?

01:45:35.000 If you see as I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, I'm going to ask you to stand beside me at twistedplots.com.

01:45:43.000 And together we shall fund a show that shall never be forgotten.

01:45:48.000 In my own words, we're creating the future of entertainment.

01:45:50.000 It's got to be grassroots.

01:45:51.000 It's got to be right wings.

01:45:52.000 We're making an awesome show.

01:45:53.000 We're pushing back against the left.

01:45:55.000 The pilot's available if you support a twisted plot.

01:45:55.000 See for yourself.

01:45:58.000 So Seamus and I did work on this the other night for a gag video that also.

01:45:58.000 Hold on.

01:46:03.000 Yeah, don't spoil it.

01:46:04.000 Andre, but you should also do that.

01:46:05.000 It's very funny next week.

01:46:07.000 You should show a parody version of V for Vendetta where the TV screens change from.

01:46:14.000 Okay, so here.

01:46:15.000 Guy Fox was a Catholic theocrat.

01:46:17.000 The left tries to own him.

01:46:18.000 Exactly, exactly.

01:46:19.000 So what you do is you have him actually say that.

01:46:25.000 Is Twisted Plots like twisted, like dark? 0.97

01:46:28.000 Well, it's a play on, it's like plot twists, right?

01:46:32.000 But also, it's an anthology series.

01:46:34.000 So some of the humor is kind of dark, and the scenarios are just crazy different scenarios for us to explore every week.

01:46:39.000 Is it like Black Mirror?

01:46:40.000 Yeah, it's like an anthology series.

01:46:42.000 Okay, have me on, man.

01:46:44.000 It's a cart.

01:46:45.000 Yeah, I'm going to read this.

01:46:48.000 I'm going to have a look at it.

01:46:49.000 Thank you.

01:46:50.000 We 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.

01:46:57.000 It's coercive force, by the way.

01:46:59.000 Fraud or cheating election.

01:47:00.000 In other words, the classic Aristotle anarchistic libertarian view is that democracy itself is coercive violence.

01:47:07.000 Two wolves and a sheep voting for what's for dinner.

01:47:09.000 So voting could be defensive violence.

01:47:11.000 I've never said coercive violence.

01:47:12.000 I said coercive force.

01:47:14.000 In that case, rigging an election couldn't be any more wrong than voting.

01:47:17.000 And in that case, I've never argued that either.

01:47:20.000 In that case, which we were voting to reduce the state, reduce the coercive violence, rigging would actually be ethically justifiable.

01:47:27.000 You can't commit crimes against a criminal organization.

01:47:29.000 My argument is about coercive force.

01:47:31.000 That means there are various types of force, how you can make something, someone do something you want.

01:47:36.000 You can coerce them, like, if you don't, I will do a bad thing.

01:47:39.000 There's manipulative force, which is, oh, you actually always wanted to do a bad thing.

01:47:44.000 That thing is good for you, tricking them. 0.87

01:47:46.000 And physical violence to coerce them into doing it by, I'm going to beat you now and then beating them. 0.84

01:47:50.000 And then until they say, please stop, I'll do what you want.

01:47:52.000 My 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?

01:48:04.000 He's too evil.

01:48:05.000 The Sith control everything. 0.97

01:48:07.000 Would you be willing to do it?

01:48:09.000 Well, 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.

01:48:19.000 That was Mace Window.

01:48:20.000 I'm not saying he was right. 1.00

01:48:22.000 Anakin was also dumb. 0.99

01:48:23.000 Mace Window was dumb because he should have been like, okay, Anakin, we'll try him. 1.00

01:48:26.000 And then when Anakin turned around, he could have killed him then. 0.99

01:48:27.000 You know what I mean?

01:48:28.000 But my point ultimately is: if you are unwilling to use force to defend your system, your system will cease to exist.

01:48:35.000 Fact.

01:48:36.000 It's just a fact.

01:48:37.000 I'm not saying it'll cease immediately, but at some point, it will be destroyed by those who are willing to use force.

01:48:43.000 You create a protective bubble that requires force.

01:48:46.000 And then also that guy at the very end of his chat said you can't do crime against a criminal organization, but that's not true.

01:48:52.000 You can definitely commit crimes against criminals.

01:48:55.000 Indeed.

01:48:57.000 Yes.

01:48:58.000 The mafia.

01:48:59.000 Well, there you go.

01:48:59.000 All right.

01:49:01.000 Moving on, we got Ron Kway.

01:49:03.000 He says, do you guys think that these cases against BLM will actually get anywhere?

01:49:07.000 It seems like all those retribution, all this retribution is very slow going.

01:49:10.000 They haven't announced a bunch and we haven't really seen action.

01:49:13.000 If they have these cases in liberal jurisdictions, they will all be acquitted with smiles on their faces.

01:49:18.000 Well, I think, yeah, I think they know that too at the DOJ.

01:49:22.000 I mean, I'm sure Cash knows that.

01:49:24.000 But on the other hand, the guy's question is right.

01:49:27.000 You know, I mean, we can't hold our breath on this.

01:49:33.000 Indeed.

01:49:35.000 Let's see.

01:49:36.000 What do we got here?

01:49:39.000 I don't know.

01:49:40.000 What is this?

01:49:42.000 You figured it out.

01:49:46.000 Otherwise, I'm going to start talking about communism.

01:49:49.000 Here we go.

01:49:50.000 Wow.

01:49:52.000 So earlier this morning, the FBA announced they'd stopped a terror attack.

01:49:56.000 It's now being revealed that was an ISIS-connected Halloween terror attack in Dearborn, Michigan.

01:50:00.000 Yes.

01:50:01.000 Wow.

01:50:02.000 Shout out to Raven Margaret for that chat, posting the link from Jack Pezobit.

01:50:06.000 You're right in the belly of the beast at Dearborn.

01:50:09.000 I mean, a terror attack in the back.

01:50:13.000 And I started to figure it out.

01:50:15.000 Was the attack going to be in Dearborn?

01:50:18.000 I guess.

01:50:19.000 But Dearborn is, you know, essentially isympathetic.

01:50:25.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:50:25.000 It's their own backyard.

01:50:26.000 Yeah.

01:50:27.000 So I don't know what the.

01:50:29.000 All right.

01:50:29.000 We got Dr. Tenner Sheriff says blackjack is the only casino game you can get thrown out of, thrown out for being too good.

01:50:35.000 Stephen 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.

01:50:41.000 It's a fun watch.

01:50:42.000 Indeed, you will get thrown out for being too good at blackjack because blackjack is one of the best games in a casino as the lowest edge.

01:50:49.000 It's like 50%, right?

01:50:51.000 Your chance, the edge of the house is like 0.53.

01:50:54.000 What's the edge in craps?

01:50:55.000 This is very low, too.

01:50:56.000 0.7.

01:50:58.000 It might be like either, I think it might be 1-ish, 1.1.

01:51:02.000 That's what I used to do when I gambled simply because I was too lazy to count cards.

01:51:07.000 The best bet in a casino is the odds bet on a craps line.

01:51:11.000 So if you play the pass line and then bet odds, it has zero edge.

01:51:14.000 It pays straight up.

01:51:14.000 Yeah.

01:51:16.000 And then there's always the best room in the casino, the one room that isn't gambling, and that's the poker room.

01:51:21.000 Yes.

01:51:22.000 Yeah, that's psychology.

01:51:23.000 Yeah, that's like, and that's where I really got nervous.

01:51:27.000 This is the funniest thing.

01:51:29.000 Anybody who thinks that poker is gambling, let's play double board PLO, you versus me, $1,000 buy-in.

01:51:36.000 And we'll see how much money you walk away with. 1.00

01:51:38.000 Because most people are going to go, I don't know what PLO is.

01:51:42.000 What is it?

01:51:43.000 Pot Limit Omaha.

01:51:43.000 What is double board?

01:51:45.000 So we're going to play a double board pot limit Omaha game.

01:51:47.000 You try and this is the point.

01:51:49.000 People don't understand what poker is.

01:51:50.000 They think poker is sitting down at a table and playing blackjack.

01:51:52.000 It's not.

01:51:53.000 Nope.

01:51:53.000 Not at all.

01:51:54.000 80% of winning hands are not the best hand.

01:51:56.000 And famously, Phil Helmuth joked.

01:51:59.000 I don't know if he was joking.

01:52:00.000 He 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.

01:52:10.000 He has more bracelets than any other poker player.

01:52:13.000 He's won more tournaments at the pro level.

01:52:16.000 Aces is the best hand.

01:52:17.000 Everyone says, you get it, you raise until you're all in.

01:52:20.000 He said, no, I'd fold him because you get free chips from people when you play aggressively against them.

01:52:26.000 So why enter into a position where you have any chance of losing? 1.00

01:52:29.000 And everyone said he was crazy and it's stupid. 0.98

01:52:32.000 I think it's kind of crazy to say that the greatest tournament player or the tournament player with the most amount of wins is wrong. 0.99

01:52:37.000 And I've actually argued this point too.

01:52:40.000 If you're playing a cash game, especially, I was saying this the other last week with Elod, fold queens pre-flop.

01:52:46.000 And Queens is the third best possible hand you could be dealt, but you still have a 20% chance to lose.

01:52:52.000 Just fold them.

01:52:53.000 Why gamble?

01:52:54.000 So here's how it goes down in a typical poker hand.

01:52:58.000 Majority of hands are going to go like this.

01:53:00.000 I get dealt cards.

01:53:01.000 I'm in an advantageous position.

01:53:03.000 I look down, hand is good.

01:53:05.000 Let's call it ace queen suited.

01:53:06.000 Not bad.

01:53:07.000 So it's a one-two game.

01:53:09.000 I bet $20.

01:53:10.000 I get two callers.

01:53:11.000 There's now $40 addition to the pot with a total of 60 plus.

01:53:14.000 Maybe the blind's called.

01:53:15.000 So you're looking at, I don't know, 63 bucks.

01:53:18.000 The 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.

01:53:28.000 And I get that money without ever having actual show the cards, do a calculation or anything like that.

01:53:34.000 It's called a continuation bet.

01:53:35.000 And when you play aggressive, most of the time, they'll just fold and you get the money and you never have to bother.

01:53:40.000 You can do this with literally any hand.

01:53:42.000 It's not gambling.

01:53:43.000 I mean, you can argue it's gambling in that people might call you, they might connect.

01:53:47.000 Fine.

01:53:48.000 But you don't even need to actually use the cards.

01:53:50.000 So you get seven deuce, same play.

01:53:53.000 You get aces, same play.

01:53:55.000 And 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.

01:54:02.000 So anyway, shout out to Helmuth, who actually said, you could do it.

01:54:06.000 You could do it.

01:54:09.000 I haven't played poker in a long time.

01:54:11.000 used to play but right now with those new cheating things that have been oh yeah Whoa, I would be very nervous in any game.

01:54:21.000 You know, well, okay, lose $30, fine.

01:54:24.000 But 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.

01:54:35.000 Yeah, they're doing all sorts of crazy stuff. 0.95

01:54:38.000 But 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. 0.97

01:54:45.000 That was the mafia being like, I don't actually know how poker works. 0.98

01:54:49.000 So let's get camera machines.

01:54:51.000 The reality, cheating and poker is super easy.

01:54:54.000 If 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.

01:55:01.000 Anytime you jam, I'll jam.

01:55:03.000 At the end of the night, we'll split our money.

01:55:04.000 That gives us two to one odds against any player who tries to bet against them.

01:55:08.000 And so here's what happens.

01:55:09.000 And people run tables like this.

01:55:11.000 They run teams.

01:55:12.000 Let's say I get dealt a moderately good hand and then you raise.

01:55:16.000 Ian looks at it, has a moderately good hand and says, okay, I'm all in.

01:55:19.000 Okay, so he's up against you.

01:55:20.000 We don't know what he's got.

01:55:21.000 He could have ACEs.

01:55:22.000 I'll go all in.

01:55:23.000 That gives us a greater than 50% chance of beating you and taking all your money, even with the best-handed poker.

01:55:27.000 Yeah, no, it's true.

01:55:28.000 That's how you cheat. 0.99

01:55:29.000 So the idea that they got these rigged machines and did all this shit, it's laughably absurd. 0.99

01:55:34.000 Anyway, let's grab some more. 0.98

01:55:37.000 At Moore says, Tim Cass, thank you for bringing the show to the Discord.

01:55:37.000 All right.

01:55:40.000 Many ideas.

01:55:42.000 I have more great ideas.

01:55:43.000 You have a ton of talent in Discord.

01:55:44.000 You don't have to look too far for talent and ideas.

01:55:46.000 Explore and use this pool of talent.

01:55:48.000 Indeed, excellent post.

01:55:49.000 Everybody should join the Discord.

01:55:51.000 The challenge is management.

01:55:53.000 We have talked quite a bit about game development and art and all of that stuff that the Discord community needs to be involved in.

01:56:01.000 The challenge is getting proper management, but we've been working on it.

01:56:04.000 As you've noticed, we've done the 6 p.m. call-in shows with our third chair hosts.

01:56:08.000 So we are working on it, building it up.

01:56:11.000 And the idea went a long time ago was to release the code to our video game to the Discord to finish it.

01:56:15.000 I don't know what happened.

01:56:17.000 I know a lot of people say they wish I was more involved in managing it, but I have to manage literally everything.

01:56:22.000 That's too much.

01:56:23.000 I 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.

01:56:30.000 I didn't get very many Tim Pool shows up, which is the new channel.

01:56:33.000 And 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.

01:56:40.000 Then there's the other shows.

01:56:41.000 Then I have family time.

01:56:42.000 So it's just, it's increasingly difficult to do.

01:56:45.000 We got to get the code to Discord for sure.

01:56:48.000 I think we didn't.

01:56:48.000 I thought we already did.

01:56:49.000 I think there was some sort of legal behavior.

01:56:51.000 It was the Freedom Tunes game.

01:56:53.000 NormieQuest.

01:56:53.000 It's still.

01:56:53.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:56:54.000 We were working on NormieQuest.

01:56:54.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:56:56.000 Yep.

01:56:56.000 And the art was there and the characters were there and the items were there.

01:56:58.000 It should be free.

01:56:59.000 You could play the game right now and it was fun.

01:57:01.000 Yeah.

01:57:02.000 There were good physics.

01:57:04.000 It could be a really good base.

01:57:05.000 There was a lot that was really, really fun about that.

01:57:07.000 All right.

01:57:08.000 We'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.

01:57:16.000 Those who want it are using the threat of an increase in property tax.

01:57:19.000 I see this as extortion personally.

01:57:21.000 Our roads are a mess, and this is what they claim the tax is for. 1.00

01:57:25.000 How do we get people to see this and vote for these corrupt idiots out of office? 1.00

01:57:28.000 You can't because they're offering free stuff to people. 1.00

01:57:30.000 This is the problem of this system. 0.99

01:57:33.000 Now, the problem with monarchy is any kind of unilateral control or autocratic control, you'll get someone who's cruel and inept. 0.75

01:57:42.000 There's no guarantee you get a good person.

01:57:44.000 The benefit is maybe one day you get a magnanimous, noble, intelligent king, philosopher king, who can actually do a good job.

01:57:51.000 But then what?

01:57:52.000 Who's the next king?

01:57:53.000 The chairman?

01:57:55.000 Exactly.

01:57:55.000 The problem with democracy is you get locked in the system and there's no way to break out of it.

01:57:59.000 Sorry.

01:57:59.000 I just don't, there's no real good answer.

01:58:02.000 For what?

01:58:03.000 What was the question?

01:58:04.000 People keep voting against their interest and we're getting taxed into oblivion.

01:58:07.000 Taxes will go up to their 100 and this will explode.

01:58:10.000 Yeah, it might seem like it's free stuff, but at what cost?

01:58:13.000 Amen.

01:58:15.000 All right, we got another one here.

01:58:17.000 This one is from Royal Beasts.

01:58:20.000 He 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?

01:58:27.000 And Elon Musk is on the new Joe Rogan episode.

01:58:30.000 Elon Musk again.

01:58:32.000 Should be interesting to hear about the AI stuff.

01:58:36.000 I don't care about temporarily removing it.

01:58:38.000 The idea is: don't let Democrats win.

01:58:38.000 Get rid of it.

01:58:40.000 That's it.

01:58:41.000 Remove the filibuster.

01:58:42.000 Use all the power you can.

01:58:43.000 Democrats never win another election.

01:58:45.000 Don't let them win.

01:58:48.000 All right.

01:58:48.000 Burt 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?

01:58:58.000 You 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.

01:59:07.000 So I bring on a pundit or a political personality, and they can say something like, Yep, Snap's got to go.

01:59:12.000 I bring on Senator and he says, Look, it's not a good system, but we got to wean off it.

01:59:17.000 I don't want it to stop.

01:59:18.000 Exactly, because they're working for other people.

01:59:23.000 Here's your answer: abolish the 17th. 0.83

01:59:25.000 Then the senators aren't beholden to a popular vote.

01:59:29.000 They're appointed by a legislature, and so there's much less pressure, and they can say whatever they want.

01:59:35.000 And the state legislature can recall them if it gets bad enough, but then you'll have senators actually representing states.

01:59:41.000 All right.

01:59:42.000 Trucking vet says two comments for the panel, if they like.

01:59:45.000 A quote from Rush: Never underestimate the Republican Party's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

01:59:50.000 That's right.

01:59:52.000 Constitutional amendments are the result of a great deal of momentum.

01:59:55.000 That 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?

02:00:04.000 You can't do that, though.

02:00:06.000 You can't say you can never amend it.

02:00:07.000 It can always be amended.

02:00:09.000 The 16th allows Congress to levy an income tax on individuals and corporations without apportioning it among the states based on population.

02:00:15.000 Bad.

02:00:16.000 17th allows the popular vote for the Senate.

02:00:20.000 Also very bad.

02:00:21.000 So yeah.

02:00:22.000 Yep.

02:00:23.000 Yeah, the Senate one's more important, I think.

02:00:26.000 Yeah, absolutely.

02:00:27.000 At this point.

02:00:28.000 All right.

02:00:29.000 I think we got time for one more.

02:00:31.000 Let's see.

02:00:32.000 We got this one from GSS Terror. 0.91

02:00:37.000 I know a legal way to get AOC out of office.

02:00:41.000 Is she better in office or would it be worse if she wasn't in office, being campaigning-wise, and having all of this free time? 0.99

02:00:48.000 She shouldn't be in office.

02:00:48.000 I don't know.

02:00:49.000 She's a bad member of Congress. 1.00

02:00:50.000 Well, she has all the free time anyway. 0.97

02:00:52.000 Being in office is free time.

02:00:54.000 Right.

02:00:55.000 They spend almost all their day.

02:00:56.000 Like 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.

02:01:02.000 That's all they do.

02:01:02.000 They campaign.

02:01:03.000 And raise money.

02:01:05.000 So what happened was we were talking about how they'll always vote for food stamps.

02:01:09.000 And I said, every member of Congress, not a single one is going to come out and say, vote for me.

02:01:14.000 I'll take your benefits away.

02:01:15.000 And then she was like, yes, but what are the ones who already are elected?

02:01:17.000 And I'm like, the election's every two years.

02:01:19.000 They don't stop campaigning ever.

02:01:21.000 Ever.

02:01:23.000 So, you know, we're trapped.

02:01:24.000 But my friends, this has been Friday Backstage IRL.

02:01:29.000 Thank you so much for hanging out.

02:01:30.000 Smash that like button.

02:01:32.000 You know, you can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.

02:01:36.000 This has been a blast.

02:01:37.000 Thank you to the members of our Discord community.

02:01:39.000 If you want to watch the full three-hour version, guess what?

02:01:42.000 It only exists for the Discord community.

02:01:45.000 The first hour of pre-production, we were jamming, playing music, not recorded.

02:01:45.000 That's right.

02:01:50.000 So it's only backstage live.

02:01:51.000 You get to watch it.

02:01:52.000 Join our Discord community at TimCast.com.

02:01:54.000 Click join us.

02:01:55.000 We really do appreciate it.

02:01:56.000 Roger, do you want to shout anything out?

02:01:58.000 No, I want to come back.

02:02:00.000 That was a lot of fun.

02:02:01.000 And I want to come back when my book comes out so that I can hype it.

02:02:06.000 But not just that.

02:02:08.000 I'm a little worried about people reading.

02:02:11.000 I think reading should come back in a big wave because it's TikTok out.

02:02:16.000 Food for the brain.

02:02:18.000 Amen.

02:02:19.000 It will after society collapses.

02:02:21.000 Reading good stuff because it's like a form of brainwashing.

02:02:24.000 And sometimes washing is a very good thing to do.

02:02:26.000 Indeed.

02:02:27.000 Where can people find you?

02:02:28.000 Well, not yet.

02:02:29.000 They'll find it on Amazon, of course.

02:02:30.000 I've got a whole bunch of books on Amazon if they want to catch up.

02:02:34.000 I mean, you're right.

02:02:35.000 This is going to be my 15th book.

02:02:36.000 Wow.

02:02:37.000 Right on for you.

02:02:38.000 What's going on, Ian?

02:02:39.000 Well, I got Roger.

02:02:40.000 I got your X account.

02:02:42.000 You said you are not always on Real Roger Simon on X in case people are going to follow you on AX.

02:02:46.000 But the substack I have is much more important.

02:02:50.000 You know, you can just Google Roger Simon substacking.

02:02:54.000 Oh, right on.

02:02:55.000 Boom.

02:02:56.000 Okay, thanks, Roger.

02:02:56.000 And I'm at Ian Crossland.

02:02:58.000 You find me at Ian Crossland on X, you know, all the websites, YouTube and Instagram.

02:03:02.000 I'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?

02:03:11.000 Just don't get caught by the radioactive piece of graphene, otherwise you might become graphene man.

02:03:15.000 I can't promise that I'm not going to turn into a superhero.

02:03:18.000 So I'll see you after I get back if I don't see you beforehand.

02:03:21.000 Catch you later.

02:03:22.000 Guys, my name is Seamus Coughlin.

02:03:24.000 I have produced over 700 animated videos.

02:03:27.000 I've gained over a million subscribers and 290 million views with zero dollars spent on marketing.

02:03:32.000 The 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.

02:03:46.000 We 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.

02:03:57.000 We've already got the 25-minute long pilot fully animated.

02:04:01.000 If you want to see that, you can go to twistedplots.com and support our show.

02:04:05.000 The future of entertainment needs to be grassroots.

02:04:08.000 It needs to be right-wing.

02:04:09.000 It 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.

02:04:19.000 So go over to twistedplots.com and support us before it's too late.

02:04:23.000 Twisted Plots, we've got two weeks left.

02:04:26.000 Twistedplots.com, give us $25.

02:04:28.000 We've got the team.

02:04:29.000 We've got the infrastructure.

02:04:30.000 We've got the track record and the experience.

02:04:32.000 Give me your support and we will be unstoppable.

02:04:34.000 Give them $50.

02:04:36.000 Thank you.

02:04:37.000 There's an old saying, Seamus, it's you get what you ask for.

02:04:39.000 Interesting.

02:04:40.000 Yeah, say, give me $100.

02:04:42.000 And then you want to add what's called the sense of urgency.

02:04:45.000 If you don't, the world will explode.

02:04:47.000 Well, I hate to break it to you.

02:04:48.000 The world won't explode, but we've got two weeks left, and the left dominates entertainment.

02:04:52.000 And if we don't do something about that, they're going to destroy the country.

02:04:55.000 There's zero question about it.

02:04:56.000 We have to fight back.

02:04:57.000 I'm fighting back.

02:04:58.000 Very few people in the entertainment sphere are fighting back in an effective right-wing way.

02:05:03.000 Go to twistedplots.com and support us.

02:05:03.000 We are.

02:05:05.000 Don't give your money to Netflix or Paramount for your entertainment.

02:05:08.000 Help us create the future of entertainment.

02:05:10.000 Twin Eastwood's getting pretty old.

02:05:12.000 Indeed.

02:05:13.000 All right, everybody.

02:05:14.000 This has been Backstage IRL Special.

02:05:18.000 Thank you guys so much for hanging out.

02:05:19.000 We're, of course, going to have segments throughout the weekend.

02:05:21.000 We're back on Monday.

02:05:22.000 It's going to be great.

02:05:23.000 We've got a bunch of awesome guests next week.

02:05:24.000 It's going to get pretty wild.
