Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Celebrates 100 Days Amid RECORD Lawsuits & Unconstitutional Judicial Actions | Timcast IRL

00:02:24.000 It is Donald Trump's first 100 days as of today, and boys, he's celebrating.

00:02:29.000 He's got a big old rally, and he is talking about everything he's facing, and he is facing record amount of lawsuits, 220.

00:02:35.000 He's facing a record amount of unconstitutional universal injunctions, and I guess what we call a judicial coup.

00:02:43.000 And Matt Taibbi is writing, he writes an article asking, is this a soft civil war?

00:02:48.000 And perhaps we've crossed the point of no return.

00:02:51.000 I know.

00:02:51.000 Everybody's talking about it, but I guess it just remains to be seen if there's going to be an off-ramp or not.

00:02:57.000 In other news, the judge from Wisconsin has been removed from the court, which is pretty crazy.

00:03:03.000 And we do have a bunch of other issues.

00:03:06.000 I got a funny one for you.

00:03:07.000 Chuck Todd is arguing that they did nothing wrong in the Biden story.

00:03:12.000 They didn't cover it up.

00:03:13.000 They didn't miss this.

00:03:14.000 That's a right-wing narrative.

00:03:16.000 Oh boy.

00:03:17.000 So we're going to talk about that, plus a lot of what's going on with this Kilmar Abrego guy.

00:03:21.000 Turns out there's a 2018 report where the husband, the ex-husband of the guy he's married to now, of the lady he's married to now, claimed he was in a gang.

00:03:31.000 It was a threat to his children.

00:03:33.000 It's going to get interesting.

00:03:35.000 Before we get started, my friends, make sure you head over to castbrew.com and buy some delicious castbrew coffee.

00:03:39.000 We have so many different choices.

00:03:40.000 We got Phil's gingerbread two weeks till Christmas, and get it while you can.

00:03:45.000 Alex Stein's primetime grind is about to sell out and it will be gone forever. 0.97

00:03:49.000 So maybe you just want that crazy bag of that crazy guy's face.

00:03:53.000 Then I recommend you get it now at Casper.com because it will be discontinued soon. 0.50

00:03:57.000 We will be launching something different with Alex Stein in the future.

00:04:20.000 Will Chamberlain will be debating Pisco Lydia, liberal lawyer.

00:04:25.000 Over whether or not it was legal or right to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

00:04:29.000 And considering this new information that's coming out, it's going to deeply influence what these guys think about this debate.

00:05:03.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is Tim Young.

00:05:07.000 Hey, what's going on, man?

00:05:08.000 Who are you?

00:05:09.000 Oh, what do I do?

00:05:10.000 I don't know.

00:05:11.000 I'm the Heritage Foundation's Media Fellow for Strategic Communication.

00:05:17.000 I'm CEO of a company called Veebs, which is pretty cool.

00:05:19.000 And I'm Tim runs his mouth on social media.

00:05:21.000 And more importantly, I'm not you.

00:05:23.000 And that's what I wanted to come here and talk about, is that you have very intelligent listeners and viewers, and then you have some that kind of fall a little short.

00:05:31.000 And when they're upset at you, they tweet at me.

00:05:34.000 I have to imagine those are the hate watchers, and they're probably the liberals who catch the show after the fact, or they're probably just watching a clip from the show posted by some liberal to get out of context.

00:05:43.000 But we don't look anywhere near each other.

00:05:46.000 We're both hat-wearing fellas.

00:05:48.000 That's about it.

00:05:49.000 You have glasses, I don't.

00:05:49.000 There you go.

00:05:50.000 I'm a little chonkier right now.

00:05:52.000 I'm going to work on that.

00:05:53.000 But, you know, I just, you know, so the haters out there, if you could just note the difference.

00:05:57.000 Although I do really like...

00:05:58.000 All times are the same.

00:05:58.000 I think I've just been kind of riding the wave when they hate you, man.

00:06:02.000 It just gets me some...

00:06:03.000 I appreciate you taking all of that trolling so I don't have to.

00:06:08.000 You know, I'm just helping you out from afar.

00:06:10.000 I appreciate it.

00:06:10.000 Should be fun.

00:06:11.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:06:12.000 We got Brett hanging out.

00:06:12.000 I couldn't even tell the difference between the two of you.

00:06:14.000 What's going on, guys?

00:06:15.000 It's uncanny.

00:06:16.000 It's uncanny.

00:06:16.000 They look exactly like Brett here.

00:06:18.000 Usually pop culture crisis, Monday through Friday at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

00:06:21.000 Let's talk about stuff.

00:06:22.000 Hello, my name is Phil Abonte.

00:06:24.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.

00:06:25.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:06:28.000 Let's get into it.

00:06:28.000 It is a meaningless...

00:06:31.000 Holiday, I guess.

00:06:32.000 It's Trump's first hundred days.

00:06:34.000 And most of you may not know this, but it's meaningless.

00:06:38.000 It just was made up by the press a hundred years ago because FDR was doing a bunch of crazy stuff.

00:06:43.000 And they were like, look what he did in his hundred days.

00:06:45.000 And then from then on, people were like, a hundred days.

00:06:47.000 It signifies nothing.

00:06:50.000 You can't guarantee things get done.

00:06:52.000 But sure, here we are.

00:06:53.000 Now, Donald Trump may not be FDR.

00:06:55.000 He's got a bunch of other things under his belt.

00:06:57.000 ABC News reports 220 lawsuits in 100 days.

00:07:02.000 Trump administration faces unprecedented legal blitz.

00:07:06.000 The administration has been sued over nearly every element of Trump's agenda.

00:07:11.000 And then, of course, this report, which we've covered from Congress.gov several times, talking about how Donald Trump has more universal injunctions filed against his administration than all other administrations.

00:07:25.000 And he has around 40% of all universal injunctions ever issued.

00:07:31.000 And, well, I gotta say, they're unconstitutional.

00:07:34.000 But, you know, right now, the big question is, how are we doing?

00:07:39.000 How does Donald Trump hold up in your view?

00:07:42.000 Do you hold him in great esteem in these 100 days?

00:07:45.000 Look, he's, just for the results at the border alone, I give him a B+.

00:07:52.000 Right?

00:07:53.000 Because...

00:07:54.000 We went from having a massive influx every day, tens of thousands or tens of thousands of people coming into the country every single day to, you know, almost none or very, very, very few.

00:08:07.000 And that was simply by enforcing the law and implementing what really amount to small changes.

00:08:16.000 You know, there have been no significant changes.

00:08:19.000 Maybe they're a decent side change because there are...

00:08:23.000 There are military assets at the border.

00:08:25.000 So he activated the National Guard, I guess, or actually I think it was the Marine Corps.

00:08:30.000 But they're actually doing something.

00:08:34.000 That alone, that was fulfilling one of the...

00:08:37.000 Major reasons that people voted for Donald Trump.

00:08:39.000 So right off the bat, I think he's at least doing okay.

00:08:42.000 I think it's interesting that the discussion this time around in the second term has changed the focus from, I feel like in the first term, now maybe it's just been such a long time since I focused on that, was that it was about the building of the border wall and it was about trying to get the financing and the funding for the border wall.

00:08:58.000 But what focusing on deportations has done is it's thrown into contrast.

00:09:03.000 Just how similar previous administrations were on this topic to show you just how far left things have gone within certain sections of the Democratic Party.

00:09:12.000 Because if you look at the numbers when Barack Obama was in office between deportations and turnaways at the border, you see something fairly similar.

00:09:22.000 despite the fact that they were letting a lot of people in, they were getting those numbers up by turning people away at the border and reclassifying those deportations.

00:09:30.000 So for those who are willing to look into it and those who actually want to grow and see where politics has changed, you can look at what things were like between 2008 and 2016 and you can see a vast shift.

00:09:44.000 And I think maybe that's not the focus of the first 100 days, but for the people that are paying close attention, it kind of helps form a narrative for things.

00:09:51.000 I'm going to go with the grading because you went with the grading.

00:09:53.000 I'm going to go B-plus as well, not just because of the border, though.

00:09:57.000 Balls to the wall with executive orders.

00:09:59.000 He's doing everything he can possibly do.

00:10:02.000 You have to remember when you're putting in cabinet members...

00:10:05.000 Nothing can really get accomplished until you have the staffing for those cabinet members.

00:10:08.000 So you have a bunch of people in there with a bunch of great ideas that hopefully will have the backup soon to be able to enact them.

00:10:15.000 But as far as what he can do personally from the White House and from the Oval Office, I think he's done more than what any other president has ever done, especially as a conservative and a Republican.

00:10:24.000 He came in.

00:10:25.000 I think he learned from his first four years.

00:10:27.000 He came in like a bull in a china shop and signed everything, literally.

00:10:30.000 I don't even know when the man has a break from signing executive orders at this point, basically.

00:10:34.000 I don't know when the man sleeps.

00:10:36.000 Apparently he sleeps six hours a night.

00:10:38.000 Sounds about right.

00:10:39.000 That's crazy.

00:10:40.000 So the big question here, though, is this, is approval.

00:10:43.000 So RCP approval ratings in aggregate has Trump at minus seven.

00:10:47.000 But I do want to stress, completely meaningless.

00:10:50.000 Society is collapsing.

00:10:52.000 The end is nigh.

00:10:53.000 And these polls are, I'm exaggerating, guys.

00:10:55.000 The polls mean absolutely nothing is what I'm trying to say.

00:10:57.000 You've got NPR, ABC, CNN, and I believe Daily Mail.

00:11:02.000 New York Times and CBS, they're all saying in the past week Trump has double digits underwater.

00:11:08.000 That's crazy.

00:11:09.000 Now Rasmussen has a minus four, and they tend to be more accurate.

00:11:14.000 And we had the guy from Rasmussen on recently, and they have been very, very accurate.

00:11:19.000 But my issue with the aggregate polling right now is that you can have two polls, one saying Trump is up one, and the next day he's minus nine.

00:11:29.000 Or I should say the next period.

00:11:30.000 Then he's minus two.

00:11:32.000 They're all completely different and random.

00:11:36.000 Let's just go back eight years when I used to cover a lot more of this stuff in the first Trump term.

00:11:40.000 And I'd always go for these polls and I'd be tracking them every day.

00:11:43.000 They were fairly similar.

00:11:45.000 They'd all have Trump at like minus six or seven.

00:11:48.000 And they wouldn't change that much because what's really going on?

00:11:51.000 How is it that you've got these corporate polls showing Trump double digits underwater?

00:11:58.000 And the swing from the polls is insane.

00:12:01.000 This week it's plus that, then it's minus that.

00:12:03.000 That's why I say it's largely meaningless.

00:12:04.000 But what I will say is Trump is down.

00:12:07.000 Rasmussen had Trump up at the beginning of the month at, I believe he was plus four, and now he's minus four.

00:12:15.000 So it was a big swing.

00:12:17.000 This is not good.

00:12:19.000 For Donald Trump, but I don't think it's apocalyptic.

00:12:22.000 Now, the reason why I don't want to use aggregates, as I often say, people are going to be like, Tim, you always say use aggregates.

00:12:26.000 It's because they're all randomized at this point.

00:12:29.000 All the polls, all these pollsters have changed their systems up, and now they're giving wildly different numbers across the board.

00:12:37.000 Now, you can make the argument that, you know, NPR, ABC, CNN, Daily Mail, they all show Trump, you know, minus 10, 12, 10, 14, 13, 10. That's pretty comparable, right?

00:12:46.000 But this whole 100 days, it's like during the same period, one of these polls would have Trump at plus nine and one would have him like minus three.

00:12:55.000 I'm like, how is that possible that we're getting such wildly different numbers?

00:13:00.000 What I do think matters is that if you track any single poll that you trust, and so Rasmussen we trust, and they are showing Trump down.

00:13:09.000 So comparing Rasmussen to itself, you don't necessarily know if it reflects the greater population.

00:13:14.000 At this 100 days.

00:13:15.000 But you do know that reflects the movement of how people are feeling because Rasmussen polls generally the same way every time.

00:13:23.000 So if we want to argue that they're the most accurate or they tend to be very accurate, and they do, I believe the past several elections, they were all within the margin of error.

00:13:30.000 Pretty spot on.

00:13:30.000 Then this shows that Trump has gone down a bit.

00:13:33.000 The question for you guys, I think, is do you believe the American population really holds Trump at a double digit?

00:13:42.000 I mean, isn't he still down in Iowa 14 points?

00:13:46.000 Remember that, Paul, that came out just before the election?

00:13:48.000 I mean, what's more important here, too, is do you think the White House cares?

00:13:52.000 And, you know, when you have this constant spin with the tariffs and everything that he's doing, he's taking very, very bold moves.

00:13:59.000 Again, the strongest moves I've seen from a president just in general in my lifetime coming in, other than maybe Biden, who tried to reverse everything from Trump as soon as he came in.

00:14:07.000 I'm loving this.

00:14:08.000 Joe Biden, who tried to decree a constitutional amendment, and they're saying Trump is a dictator.

00:14:14.000 Is this what's going to happen?

00:14:15.000 So every time we get a new administration and it switches to the other party, they're just going to undo everything that everybody did through executive order?

00:14:22.000 No.

00:14:23.000 No?

00:14:23.000 No, because society is collapsing and the end is nigh.

00:14:26.000 So by the time the next administration comes in, there won't be a government?

00:14:30.000 No, I'm kidding.

00:14:31.000 I do think you're largely correct.

00:14:33.000 But I will stress...

00:14:36.000 Obviously, we have this Matt Taibbi article where he's asking about civil war, and it's because people largely missed this story, which is interesting.

00:14:42.000 He's just writing about it now, that a whole bunch of uniparty Democrats wrote a letter vowing to mobilize and stop Trump recently.

00:14:50.000 And I'm just seeing this.

00:14:51.000 I'm like, okay, I didn't realize that.

00:14:53.000 And mobilize is a very specific term.

00:14:55.000 What does it mean by mobilize?

00:14:58.000 We know what it means.

00:15:00.000 When the Democrats say go out in the streets, they're not saying to sing songs, hold hands under a rainbow like Kumbaya.

00:15:06.000 They're saying form a gigantic mass so that far-left extremists can firebomb buildings.

00:15:10.000 Were you talking about Democrat politicians or just people who support the Democratic Party?

00:15:16.000 Establishment shills like people who worked in the deep state and Clinton and things like this.

00:15:20.000 We'll get into that story.

00:15:21.000 What I was going to say is one story that's been bubbling up recently is that this is the year the demographic cliff is supposed to start.

00:15:30.000 And, you know, I didn't know about this because when the financial crisis happened, I guess, how old was I, 22 years old?

00:15:37.000 21, 22?

00:15:39.000 And for me, I was broke as a joke as it was.

00:15:42.000 So when the market crashed and bottomed out, here's the floor, right?

00:15:45.000 I'm right here.

00:15:46.000 Everybody else is here.

00:15:47.000 They go down.

00:15:47.000 I didn't really notice much.

00:15:48.000 I was like, still poor.

00:15:51.000 But when this happened, what most people at the time were talking about is that people stopped having kids.

00:15:57.000 And so now it has been 18 years.

00:16:00.000 We are supposed to see a new generation of workers entering the workforce, going to colleges, and they don't exist.

00:16:07.000 So this is going to cause a massive train wreck in our economy in ways that people, we don't exactly know how that's going to happen.

00:16:14.000 So when I say society is crumbling, I'm just thinking about, you know, these movies that are bombing, these video games that won't sell.

00:16:24.000 And for a while I'm thinking, I really do think the issue is there's no kids anymore.

00:16:29.000 There is a shortage of young people.

00:16:31.000 Well, toys right now are, the number one consumer of toys are people our age.

00:16:37.000 Yeah, it's really...

00:16:39.000 Yo, I got action.

00:16:40.000 My buddy bought me a Timpole, shout out Andy, he bought me a Timpole Pokemon card and Pokemon toy.

00:16:47.000 Because I'm a Pokemon.

00:16:48.000 Most people don't know this.

00:16:50.000 I literally am a Pokemon.

00:16:52.000 They made a Pokemon after me.

00:16:54.000 How many of you get to say that?

00:16:55.000 You think I'm joking?

00:16:56.000 Take a look.

00:16:57.000 Tim Pool.

00:16:58.000 Did you guys know that?

00:17:00.000 There you go.

00:17:02.000 Tell me that the little blue and black frog with headphones on named Tim Pool is not me when that is the colors we use for the company and he's wearing headphones.

00:17:10.000 I digress.

00:17:11.000 You are right.

00:17:13.000 Adults are buying toys.

00:17:14.000 They made the adult Happy Meal.

00:17:16.000 There's no kids.

00:17:18.000 So, what I will say is, to your question, Brett, when you ask, Every administration is going to change and do this.

00:17:25.000 I was thinking about what happens to a civilization when they undergo a population collapse.

00:17:31.000 Now, I don't know for sure. 0.99

00:17:32.000 It's probably stupid for me to speculate in this way. 0.89

00:17:34.000 But there were the English peasant revolts after the Black Plague. 0.88

00:17:37.000 And this was because with massive labor shortages following the Black Plague, the governments were trying to suppress like the workers basically had a lot of leverage.

00:17:48.000 So they were like.

00:17:49.000 You need us for day-to-day operations in ways like you can't do.

00:17:53.000 So we can have whatever we want.

00:17:55.000 So the government tries suppressing them to stop them.

00:17:57.000 So they tried using force against the leverage they had, which resulted in revolts.

00:18:03.000 So I'm wondering, you know, I don't think we're looking at as big a population drop-off as like the Black Plague.

00:18:08.000 There's like 30 to 60 percent of the population of Europe.

00:18:10.000 But I am wondering what's going to happen when we were just sitting the other day in Charlestown, West Virginia.

00:18:16.000 Businesses are closing because they can't find workers.

00:18:19.000 I mention this all the time.

00:18:21.000 There's restaurants that we've been to where they say that they closed after COVID and they can't reopen because they can't find anybody to do the work.

00:18:27.000 So, simple version.

00:18:29.000 The next administration that comes in, if there will be one, it is going to be radicals.

00:18:37.000 With what this crisis brings, I think we're going to end up with hyper-polarized ideological solutions and factions vying for power that if they get the power, will try to enact very radical things.

00:18:48.000 So, with that being said, the Trump administration is doing something absolutely radical.

00:18:54.000 And a lot of people might want to say, no, no, this is totally normal as America, but hold on.

00:18:58.000 The past 30 years has been uniparty neoliberal rule with the Republicans saying, slow down there, Democrats.

00:19:06.000 They've opened our borders, advised the children of this nation to not have their own kids, to stop having kids because of climate change or to get abortions. 0.79

00:19:13.000 Then they opened the borders to allow tens of millions of people in, and Trump is seeking to reverse it in a way that is very, very different.

00:19:19.000 They now are calling to mobilize against them.

00:19:21.000 So there you go.

00:19:22.000 Rant over.

00:19:24.000 So does that pave the way for like a Bernie AOC ticket for 2028?

00:19:28.000 AOC maybe. 1.00

00:19:30.000 But Bernie just drag his ass. 1.00

00:19:32.000 Well, Bernie's too old. 1.00

00:19:33.000 It's not just that.

00:19:34.000 With all due respect, I'm not trying to be a dick to Bernie, but he's passed the average life expectancy for a male.

00:19:39.000 Considering he's never actually done a job in his life that may either.

00:19:45.000 You know, I'm actually curious.

00:19:46.000 I would assume that if you've never worked, you probably would live longer.

00:19:51.000 Less stress.

00:19:52.000 Like an animal in captivity.

00:19:54.000 However, you also might be weaker.

00:19:57.000 Look at Joe Biden.

00:19:59.000 How long was he in government office?

00:20:01.000 50 some odd years, right?

00:20:03.000 All of his adult life.

00:20:07.000 You know Bernie's never had a real job, right?

00:20:10.000 He's only ever worked in government.

00:20:12.000 I do wonder if, like, I mean, I don't think Bernie's going to run at all, but I think that not only is it his age, but I think that he couldn't win because he's too much, he's too spineless.

00:20:24.000 Like, he really, he bent over and took it from the Democrats, and I don't know if that's because he didn't really want to be the president bad enough to actually do it, or if that he was just afraid, but, you know, he...

00:20:38.000 Kissed the ring for Hillary Clinton.

00:20:40.000 And I can't get over, like, when he was on stage and those two women came up and essentially took over.

00:20:48.000 He was like, well, I don't know what to do.

00:20:51.000 I don't know how to assert myself and keep the stage without obviously breaking every left-leaning faux pas there is.

00:21:01.000 I think what might happen is AOC may win a primary narrowly.

00:21:07.000 Then she gets a really low turnout in 2020.

00:21:12.000 People are saying she might run 2028. 0.96

00:21:14.000 I think that'd be silly.

00:21:15.000 I don't think she should, but maybe she will because the Democrats have got nobody else.

00:21:18.000 But we don't know the Republicans have either.

00:21:21.000 But if it's if it is Vance or it is some popular, you know, Trump has got these Trump 2028 hats and people are joking, you know, that Trump's going to run again.

00:21:30.000 He said he won't do it.

00:21:32.000 Could be Don Jr.

00:21:33.000 Who knows?

00:21:34.000 It could be another Trump.

00:21:35.000 AOC's gotten better.

00:21:36.000 She's finally gotten better at public speaking.

00:21:39.000 She had many, many a bad interview.

00:21:41.000 Obviously, we make fun of her all the time. 1.00

00:21:42.000 But when you see her in front of these crowds, she's pulled it together.

00:21:47.000 The voice is still kind of eh, but she's actually taken proper advice from people.

00:21:51.000 I hear you, but guys, the way you sound matters.

00:21:59.000 Deep voices matter.

00:22:01.000 And I know people are going to say it's sexist and the feminists are going to get angry. 1.00

00:22:05.000 Don't know.

00:22:05.000 Don't care.

00:22:06.000 I'm going to tell you the secret right now.

00:22:07.000 I think hype matters.

00:22:08.000 I've told it on the show before.

00:22:09.000 I did non-profit fundraising for several years, and I imagine it's the exact same thing with sales.

00:22:16.000 There is one characteristic above all else among men and one characteristic above all else among women that typically, that I would say, confers. 0.67

00:22:26.000 They will sell very, very well.

00:22:28.000 And among men, what do you think that trait is?

00:22:31.000 Deep voice.

00:22:32.000 No.

00:22:33.000 No?

00:22:33.000 Height?

00:22:34.000 Height.

00:22:35.000 Oh, okay.

00:22:35.000 You gotta be very tall.

00:22:36.000 Yeah.

00:22:37.000 Among women, what is the one trait that tends to confer this woman will sell well? 1.00

00:22:44.000 Sounds easy, guys.

00:22:45.000 I mean, I want to say...

00:22:46.000 It's easy, boys. 0.99

00:22:47.000 Big boobs? 1.00

00:22:47.000 Big boobs! 1.00

00:22:49.000 I wanted to say that, and I'm like, I don't know, should I say it? 0.99

00:22:52.000 That's because feminists are going to get angry about it, but guys, let's be real. 1.00

00:22:55.000 If there's a woman with big breasts standing on a street corner and she waves to you, every single guy will stop. 1.00

00:23:02.000 100% of men.

00:23:03.000 And then when she blinks and she smiles and says, I want you to buy this product from me or sign up for this program or donate to charity, the guys go, okay.

00:23:12.000 Now, if you have a tall guy...

00:23:14.000 Same thing happens the other way around.

00:23:16.000 Men and women stop for tall guys.

00:23:19.000 So, for AOC, being an average height woman trying to be a leader, this is a challenge that women will always have. 1.00

00:23:29.000 And I know the left is going to clip this and they're going to call it sexist.

00:23:32.000 I am literally saying there is an inherent sexism in all of human beings and they will look at a woman and think she is too small and weak to be war chief.

00:23:43.000 And that's what a president is.

00:23:45.000 They're the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

00:23:47.000 And this will...

00:23:49.000 The only way...

00:23:51.000 No.

00:23:53.000 Oh, okay.

00:23:54.000 Is if the Republican and the Democrats both run a female in the primary and they both win. 0.98

00:24:00.000 So I believe it was...

00:24:02.000 Was it Gerald Ford?

00:24:03.000 Someone said the first female president will be a VP and the president will either step down or be removed and that VP will become president.

00:24:11.000 And then if she runs again...

00:24:13.000 And let's say the Republicans are the Democrats' primary, a woman. 0.99

00:24:17.000 That's how you get a female president. 1.00

00:24:19.000 But how that woman wins in a primary, I don't know, which is probably why when the Democrats ran Hillary Clinton, the field was nothing. 1.00

00:24:26.000 You guys remember this in 2016?

00:24:28.000 Nobody ran.

00:24:28.000 They were like, what, two guys?

00:24:29.000 Yeah.

00:24:30.000 Well, I mean, and one of them was Bernie Sanders, and he, you know...

00:24:34.000 Oh, I know.

00:24:35.000 I mean, I know you say that about...

00:24:39.000 And I don't disagree with any of your points about height and whether or not, you know, men or America would vote for a woman.

00:24:47.000 I don't know.

00:24:48.000 That being said, if there is a woman that could win, I think AOC would be it. 1.00

00:24:55.000 I think because even though her voice is a little grating when she's actually talking to people.

00:25:02.000 And when she's on camera, when you can see her, she's very charismatic and she knows how to use social media.

00:25:09.000 Again, I'm not disputing any of your points about what people want, but I think that she is talented and I think that she's compelling.

00:25:21.000 I agree with that, but I will also agree with the feminists when they say it is hard for a woman to sound commanding and not bitchy. 1.00

00:25:28.000 Yeah. 0.65

00:25:28.000 She totally is. 0.65

00:25:29.000 I agree with the feminists on that one. 1.00

00:25:30.000 But it's possible.

00:25:31.000 And maybe AOC can't.

00:25:33.000 But you can look at people like Margaret.

00:25:35.000 Margaret Thatcher was a great example.

00:25:38.000 Because she didn't sound shrill.

00:25:40.000 How old was she? 0.89

00:25:41.000 She was probably 50 when she did?

00:25:45.000 This is the other issue I will add.

00:25:48.000 What do people look up to in terms of authority?

00:25:51.000 And it's going to be older people.

00:25:53.000 So you can have a guy.

00:25:55.000 I feel like...

00:25:56.000 And I could be wrong about all this, whatever.

00:25:58.000 When I worked in non-profit stuff, this is exactly what we saw in every single office.

00:26:03.000 Busty women always came back with tons of memberships and tons of money and the tall guys. 1.00

00:26:09.000 I remember this one really short dude.

00:26:11.000 He was like 5 '4", and he was chubby.

00:26:13.000 And he sold like crazy.

00:26:15.000 He signed people up left and right for these non-profits.

00:26:17.000 She was 53 when she was elected as a prime minister of the UK in 1979.

00:26:21.000 This dude, who did really well, was a fast talker.

00:26:26.000 Who seemed very slick, but very charismatic.

00:26:29.000 And so here's a guy who developed the ability and the style and was able to succeed through skills, right?

00:26:36.000 But I think, long story short, I believe AOC is going to have that hurdle.

00:26:40.000 She's too young.

00:26:42.000 She's too young, and there's going to be a lot of older guys who are going to say, yeah, right, it's not going to happen.

00:26:46.000 But let's jump to this next story from Rackets.

00:26:49.000 From Matt Taibbi, are we in a soft civil war?

00:26:53.000 Indeed, are we.

00:26:55.000 He writes, I'll try to go quick because he does write a lot, but it is interesting.

00:26:59.000 On Sunday, April 27th, Donald Trump Jr. joined an event in Bulgaria hosted by a controversial crypto firm Nexo.

00:27:04.000 Nexo in 2023 was fined $45 million by the SEC.

00:27:07.000 We get it.

00:27:08.000 The visit by Trump Jr. coincided with the sharpening public relations campaign at home.

00:27:12.000 Former Treasury Secretary Stephen Ratner argued in the New York Times that we're witnessing a new low in corruption of the Trump meme coin.

00:27:18.000 He goes on to say, it also came days after.

00:27:22.000 200 former diplomats and security officials signed a group letter titled, quote, The Assault on American Democracy, a call to action, featuring signatories like Susan Rice, Anthony Lake, and impeachment witness former Ukrainian ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.

00:27:39.000 The letter contained eyebrow-raising language, quote, Many of us have served in countries where democratically elected leaders followed a path to autocracy, and we know this crisis requires an urgent and unified response.

00:27:50.000 waiting passively for the electoral calendar to fight back does nothing more than give the administration additional time and running room to impose its authoritarian stance

00:28:01.000 No American can afford to be a bystander.

00:28:05.000 Each of us in different walks of life must speak out, mobilize, defend our way of life.

00:28:11.000 The moment requires nothing less.

00:28:13.000 We must recognize the seriousness of what is taking place and act collectively to restore our democracy and our security.

00:28:21.000 He goes on to mention the word mobilize has been appearing a lot in op-eds and political speeches.

00:28:25.000 He says the recent letter received no press outside of Bulgaria, making it necessary to reach out to signatories like former CIA intelligence officer Ann Gruner to confirm authenticity.

00:28:35.000 The call for ex-officials to act now instead of waiting passively for the electoral calendar appears to have been organized by former ambassador to Bulgaria, Eric Rubin, who gave an interview about it on Bulgarian TV Saturday.

00:28:46.000 Rubin has not responded for requests to comment.

00:28:49.000 He goes on to mention the first hundred days of the Trump admin have been marked by blunt offensives against political opponents, from executive orders targeting law firms like Wilmer Hale, Perkins Coie, Jenner and Block, and the firing of career officials, the National Security Council, the DOJ, to the stripping of security clearances for figures like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.

00:29:07.000 These moves prompted a cascade of news stories describing an unprecedented assault on the constitutional order, and those increasingly are accompanied by editorials calling for mobilization.

00:29:18.000 Or revolution.

00:29:19.000 Now there's more.

00:29:20.000 He mentioned David Brooks calling for a national civic uprising.

00:29:24.000 J.B. Pritzker calling for mobilization and mass protests.

00:29:27.000 Not to mention, I will add to this, the judicial coup with more universal injunctions against Trump than any other administration and 220 lawsuits.

00:29:37.000 Right now, he is calling it a soft civil war.

00:29:41.000 Eric Weinstein called it an administrative civil war.

00:29:44.000 The question then is, are we actually in this conflict?

00:29:48.000 And does it get worse?

00:29:50.000 It gets worse.

00:29:51.000 I think it definitely gets worse.

00:29:53.000 It's not lightening up.

00:29:54.000 If you would have told me, by the way, that quote from that letter, if you can pull it up real quick for people, if you went out on the street and said, who said this?

00:30:04.000 Hitler or somebody else?

00:30:05.000 People would lean towards Hitler on this.

00:30:07.000 That's actually a really good idea.

00:30:09.000 For someone to go out, do a man on the street, maybe we can have Elad do it.

00:30:13.000 Here's the quote.

00:30:14.000 Who said this?

00:30:15.000 What famous historical figure?

00:30:18.000 I actually don't know who wrote the letter.

00:30:20.000 Waiting passively for the electoral calendar to fight back does nothing more than give the administration additional time and running room to impose its authoritarian stamp.

00:30:29.000 If you said, you know, who said this, the Democrats or Hitler?

00:30:34.000 I don't know.

00:30:35.000 I actually don't know what people might think.

00:30:36.000 Speak out and mobilize defend our way of life.

00:30:38.000 I mean, you could just see it.

00:30:39.000 Yeah, they'd say Hitler.

00:30:40.000 Oh, yeah.

00:30:41.000 Defend our way of life?

00:30:42.000 Yeah.

00:30:43.000 What is that way of life for Democrats?

00:30:45.000 Like, you know what this is?

00:30:47.000 I gotta be honest.

00:30:49.000 This is 200 former diplomats and security officials.

00:30:51.000 They probably all live in Loudoun County in McLean, Virginia.

00:30:55.000 And when they're saying defend our way of life, they're talking about the government giving phony grants to NGOs to pay them as lawyers.

00:31:01.000 It's their castle.

00:31:02.000 Their castle is their way of life.

00:31:04.000 I mean, it sounds a lot like what our foreign policy would have sounded like post 9-11, you know, defending our way of life.

00:31:11.000 Indeed. I mean, and one of the alluring...

00:31:18.000 Factors of that phrase is it's like Obama's hope and change.

00:31:22.000 It's nebulous.

00:31:24.000 It doesn't actually mean anything so the listener can apply what's their way of life.

00:31:29.000 What way of life is being threatened?

00:31:31.000 Well, it's your way of life.

00:31:33.000 It doesn't matter what someone else is or how someone else conceptualizes it.

00:31:37.000 Just like what hope and change meant to every person that was listening was totally different.

00:31:42.000 It meant whatever you wanted it to mean.

00:31:44.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:31:45.000 I don't think things get better, not in the advent, in the age of social media.

00:31:48.000 I don't think things can get better.

00:31:49.000 People are going to continue to be fed whatever information confirms their own bias towards a specific situation, and it's just going to continue to get worse.

00:31:57.000 You know, I was thinking about, I was talking with the missus today, and we were talking about general investment.

00:32:02.000 Like, what do you do?

00:32:04.000 And, of course, you know, I've got crypto, I've got gold, I've got emergency food.

00:32:09.000 And I was like, I think we should probably build a shed.

00:32:12.000 And get some general tools for, like, we need to be able to produce things that we need in the event the supply chain breaks.

00:32:22.000 Because they're talking about shortages over the tariffs.

00:32:26.000 Maybe.

00:32:26.000 Maybe not.

00:32:27.000 I don't know.

00:32:28.000 There's already reports that shipments from China for the month of April are basically gone.

00:32:33.000 Basically, which means we got about a month or so before we start noticing the ripple effect.

00:32:40.000 Resources from China that are used to make products in America and then products directly made in China will be absent, obviously.

00:32:46.000 Now, that may be bad in the short term.

00:32:48.000 It may be good in the long term.

00:32:49.000 I don't know.

00:32:51.000 But the idea is like, what do you do when you go to Target and there's no baby formula?

00:32:55.000 What do you do when you go to Target and or, you know, Walmart and there's no T-shirts or, you know.

00:33:01.000 Certain materials, you know.

00:33:03.000 Well, what happened during COVID was people ran out of toilet paper and then they started fighting each other.

00:33:07.000 Indeed, they did.

00:33:09.000 So you combine this with what I keep harping on about, this demographic cliff, a shortage of new labor, and it's looking pretty worrisome in the short term.

00:33:20.000 Yeah, I mean, I can imagine.

00:33:22.000 I don't think that we get a significant portion of our food from overseas.

00:33:27.000 We don't.

00:33:27.000 So I don't imagine that.

00:33:31.000 We're going to have that kind of fighting over garbage plastic stuff. 0.93

00:33:39.000 That kind of stuff.

00:33:40.000 It's going to affect the economy.

00:33:42.000 There are going to be people that are not.

00:33:44.000 They're going to be bummed out.

00:33:45.000 But I think that the real inflaming things are like when food isn't hitting the shelves and stuff like that.

00:33:55.000 I don't know that I'm convinced there is something that actually sets it off.

00:33:59.000 Not that I'm saying that there aren't a million things that I possibly could be overlooking here.

00:34:05.000 And I'm certainly of the opinion that I don't know where the off-ramp is.

00:34:09.000 But we've talked about civil conflict or whatever on this show a couple times in the past, or frequently.

00:34:16.000 And I'm still of the opinion the normies don't get involved over...

00:34:22.000 Over, you know, people throwing firebombs at tests.

00:34:26.000 No, but toilet paper.

00:34:27.000 Yeah.

00:34:27.000 They were fighting for...

00:34:29.000 Those videos were nuts.

00:34:30.000 Yeah, they were.

00:34:30.000 I was always, like, my perspective on it as, like, a...

00:34:34.000 It's like a dummy.

00:34:35.000 It was like, it doesn't seem like the fighting would really begin.

00:34:38.000 I'm not talking about political fighting, but, you know, the general population until food shortages came because we have so much technology and general convenience that people have been kind of zapped into a sort of zombie-ism where they're not really taking stock of what's going on in the world.

00:34:54.000 But once the food shortages come, but now they can't get a new iPhone and the food shortage.

00:34:59.000 What you're talking about isn't political strife, though.

00:35:02.000 That's like...

00:35:03.000 No, that's what I'm saying.

00:35:05.000 When I think about what pushes someone towards a specific political message could be that type of food shortage.

00:35:13.000 I'm not worried necessarily about that point where society totally collapses and then people are fighting in the streets for the last can of beans.

00:35:22.000 I'm worried about some mustachioed guy in a flannel with suspenders on trying to raid my chicken coop in the middle of the night.

00:35:31.000 Before you get to the point of total collapse, you'll see an escalation in crime from people who are trying to steal because that's how they secure resources.

00:35:40.000 So I'm worried about if we start seeing businesses going under shortages of supplies, not just food, you're going to see a lot of crime.

00:35:49.000 B&Es. 0.99

00:35:50.000 Yeah, things like that.

00:35:51.000 So, I don't know.

00:35:53.000 What I will say is one of the most valuable things in the event of total collapse.

00:35:57.000 Let's just do this.

00:35:58.000 Let's say Ben Davidson is completely right.

00:36:00.000 He's the space weather guy.

00:36:01.000 We should have that massive power outage in Europe.

00:36:03.000 Let's say it wasn't a cyber attack.

00:36:05.000 It wasn't an error.

00:36:06.000 And the magnetosphere is weakening and we're going to get blasted by solar radiation and the power goes out.

00:36:11.000 You know, I've been thinking about the most valuable thing at that point is going to be some books.

00:36:17.000 No joke.

00:36:19.000 Right?

00:36:20.000 How to build things.

00:36:22.000 How to build stuff.

00:36:24.000 How to distill alcohol.

00:36:26.000 How to use alcohol to distill other...

00:36:28.000 Just think about how to extract an element from...

00:36:32.000 How do you get iron out of dirt?

00:36:37.000 You're looking at me.

00:36:38.000 I gotta go find a book.

00:36:40.000 And there are people who know this stuff.

00:36:42.000 Like how you find an iron deposit.

00:36:43.000 How do you separate the iron from the other...

00:36:47.000 How do you get a fire hot enough to actually smelt?

00:36:51.000 And it's crazy that, like, this is commonplace back in the day, but very few people know how to do this stuff.

00:36:57.000 And you won't have YouTube to look it up on, which is how I fix everything.

00:37:00.000 This is something that, like, if you pay attention to the prepper community, like, one of the things that they say all the time is, like, these things should be your hobbies now when they can be hobbies.

00:37:09.000 You should be learning, like Tim says, you know, get chickens.

00:37:12.000 You should have that stuff, you know, as a hobby.

00:37:15.000 So that way...

00:37:16.000 If a time ever comes where you need it, you're valuable to your community.

00:37:22.000 Because if you're a blacksmith and you make knives for fun or you make whatever it is for fun, right? 0.75

00:37:28.000 If something like that happens where there's a significant issue with the way our society works and we have to rewind the clock by 150 years, then you become one of the most popular guys in town.

00:37:42.000 Because no one can come and steal.

00:37:45.000 Your knowledge of blacksmithing.

00:37:47.000 You know, it's not like you have a thing that people can come in and kick the door in and take from it.

00:37:51.000 Except you do know why Smith is the most common name, right?

00:37:54.000 Well, because there was a lot of blacksmiths.

00:37:56.000 No.

00:37:57.000 Why?

00:37:58.000 Because there was one blacksmith who did it a lot.

00:38:00.000 Because when war broke out in Europe, they would never send a blacksmith to war.

00:38:06.000 Yeah.

00:38:07.000 And when conquered, the conquerors would not murder the blacksmiths.

00:38:10.000 Yeah.

00:38:10.000 So the Smiths were able to have lots of kids.

00:38:12.000 That's my point.

00:38:13.000 Like, if you know how to do something, whether it be blacksmithing or, you know, whether it be farming or whatever it may be, like, you know, if you're a gardener and you have, like, this big, massive garden, it's like you become valuable.

00:38:27.000 And while you have the time, it's not a bad idea to make one or some of these things into a hobby when it's, you know...

00:38:36.000 Can you imagine, like, what's going to happen if...

00:38:39.000 If these shortages get really bad and we do see the economy just train wreck, what's a feminist dance major going to do? 1.00

00:38:48.000 It's like you show up on the farm and it's like...

00:38:50.000 They'll do what they've always done in history.

00:38:52.000 If you want to eat, you've got to work.

00:38:54.000 They'll be OnlyFans but in books.

00:38:57.000 Have we had that in history before?

00:38:59.000 Alright, let's jump to this next story from the Postmillennial.

00:39:02.000 Breaking, Wisconsin Supreme Court temporarily suspends Judge Hannah Dugan.

00:39:07.000 After FBI arrest.

00:39:09.000 They say the Wisconsin Supreme Court temporarily suspended the judge after she was arrested for facilitating the escape of an illegal immigrant from a courtroom when Dugan learned that ICE was planning to arrest the defendant, Eduardo Flores.

00:39:19.000 She got him out.

00:39:20.000 Yep.

00:39:21.000 Quote, She's charged with a felony and a misdemeanor, 0.56

00:39:39.000 and if convicted, could face up to six years in prison and a $350,000 fine.

00:39:45.000 The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that typically in crimes of this kind of sentences are substantially shorter than the maximum.

00:39:52.000 However, I will say, the feds have like a 90 plus percent conviction rate.

00:39:58.000 You never take a case you can't win to court.

00:40:01.000 I think she's going to take a plea of some sort.

00:40:03.000 Unless she goes full resistance and then comes out, gets a microphone and says, I will not let Trump, Hitler, blah, blah, blah.

00:40:12.000 And then she makes $20 million in donations.

00:40:15.000 Yes.

00:40:15.000 And then she becomes a member of Congress whenever her sentence is up.

00:40:18.000 That's exactly what's going to happen.

00:40:19.000 No, no, no.

00:40:20.000 She just runs in the midterm.

00:40:21.000 Regardless of her sentence.

00:40:22.000 Yeah.

00:40:23.000 I mean, this is Wisconsin.

00:40:24.000 So she'll win.

00:40:27.000 Magically, those votes will come in and she will win. 0.90

00:40:32.000 Is this a form of just toxic empathy?

00:40:35.000 I understand that she's politically radicalized.

00:40:38.000 It's cult behavior.

00:40:40.000 Because the victims that were mercilessly beaten by this man were in court too.

00:40:44.000 So it wasn't an issue of empathy.

00:40:47.000 It was an issue of hatred.

00:40:48.000 She hates Trump and the right so much that she wanted this man to escape to cause pain to...

00:40:55.000 To Trump and his base.

00:40:56.000 Despite the fact that she was able to see the victims firsthand.

00:40:59.000 And the victims were waiting and she ushered the guy out the back door to escape.

00:41:02.000 Also, anybody with half a brain now, like you said, she knows that she's going to turn into a hero here to the left.

00:41:07.000 She's going to make a lot of money and she's going to become a member of Congress. 0.67

00:41:10.000 I'm not even like, that's not even like hyperbolic.

00:41:12.000 She's going to become a member of Congress. 0.64

00:41:14.000 She's going to hang out with that lady who testified against Kavanaugh during his hearing. 0.98

00:41:19.000 What was her name?

00:41:19.000 You know, it's just remarkable how evil these people are.

00:41:22.000 Lacey Ford.

00:41:23.000 Thank you.

00:41:23.000 Who were we talking to recently?

00:41:25.000 I was talking to somebody, and they were talking about how they were surprised when they got into, like, when they went from the private sector to the public sector, how instantly people they knew turned on them.

00:41:38.000 And I was like, yeah, uh-huh.

00:41:41.000 Yeah, I've certainly experienced that too.

00:41:43.000 This Christine Blasey Ford, was that her name?

00:41:46.000 Yeah. 0.98

00:41:47.000 Her story was psychotic nonsense. 0.95

00:41:50.000 I have two doors on my house now because I'm scared.

00:41:52.000 It's like, you have a back door and a front door?

00:41:54.000 Like, what are we talking about?

00:41:54.000 No, I had to create two front doors because I'm scared.

00:41:57.000 Then a report came out, no, she split her house to Airbnb one portion of it to make extra money. 1.00

00:42:01.000 Then she goes, I've been afraid to fly ever since.

00:42:04.000 How'd you get here?

00:42:04.000 I flew.

00:42:05.000 Do you ever take a vacation?

00:42:06.000 I do.

00:42:07.000 How'd you get there?

00:42:07.000 I fly.

00:42:08.000 What the?

00:42:09.000 She's just lying.

00:42:10.000 Then you get the E. Jean Carroll lady, where it's like 30 years later, she's like, Trump brought me into the Bergdorf Goodman.

00:42:17.000 Nobody was there for some reason.

00:42:18.000 And we unlocked a dressing room door.

00:42:20.000 One of the things that I think is true about this is like to the – these arguments are always very, very persuasive to normies because when you ask the question, well, why would she lie?

00:42:32.000 To a normie, they can't imagine a world where your politics are so insane that you would say something so blatantly not true for the sake of political gain.

00:42:44.000 Unless you said, well, she's actually, she's far right.

00:42:48.000 And she's lying because she's trying to trick the left. 1.00

00:42:52.000 Oh, now I understand why she would lie.

00:42:55.000 Gotta call her right wing. 1.00

00:42:56.000 It's like a 6D chess.

00:42:58.000 Sixth.

00:42:58.000 Sixth dimensional.

00:42:59.000 Back in multiversal time travel.

00:43:02.000 Who was the follow-up to Blasey Ford?

00:43:04.000 Remember they gave her a New York magazine photo shoot?

00:43:08.000 Was that the one where she claimed that Kavanaugh was waiting outside of—there was a line of men?

00:43:13.000 There was a train.

00:43:14.000 Yeah.

00:43:14.000 And they kidnapped women and put them in the room and then ran trains on them by waiting outside?

00:43:19.000 That is so insane that there was someone that tried to— Rewarded behavior.

00:43:25.000 I mean, she got the—who did the photo shoot for her?

00:43:28.000 Wasn't the famous photographer did the photo shoot for her for the New York Magazine?

00:43:33.000 In New York or whatever?

00:43:34.000 I know you're right.

00:43:35.000 It blows my mind.

00:43:38.000 Especially when you bring these things up out of context so that we can think about them without being steeped in the emotion of it.

00:43:47.000 The moment when it was happening.

00:43:48.000 That person literally tried to pass off the idea.

00:43:52.000 Julie Swetnick.

00:43:53.000 Yes, Swetnick.

00:43:55.000 Pass off the idea that there were running trains on kidnapped women.

00:44:02.000 In a college.

00:44:03.000 Like, that was, like, the norm.

00:44:06.000 I want to see, like, a where are they now.

00:44:07.000 Like, I'd love to see what...

00:44:08.000 Does Swetnick go back to her regular job after that and then just go, you know? 0.99

00:44:11.000 I mean, it all...

00:44:12.000 Remember there was another guy who claimed that he, like, raped a woman on a boat?

00:44:16.000 And when the feds contacted him, he, like, recanted and got charged or something?

00:44:20.000 They were just...

00:44:21.000 Yeah, let me see if I can...

00:44:22.000 Let me see if I can find this one.

00:44:25.000 It was absolutely insane.

00:44:26.000 And again, all totally rewarded.

00:44:28.000 All of this is rewarded.

00:44:30.000 So for a normie who still has some morals and values, you think, oh, I'm going to get busted lying.

00:44:35.000 But in these instances, it's like, hey, you can just get away.

00:44:38.000 Look, you're going to get probably a book deal, which didn't Blasey Ford get a book deal?

00:44:41.000 Probably.

00:44:42.000 I don't know.

00:44:43.000 I mean, at least you'll be famous for a while.

00:44:44.000 You get a couple of speaking gigs.

00:44:46.000 You make some good money.

00:44:47.000 Get out there.

00:44:47.000 Get taken care of.

00:44:49.000 It's just unbelievable how this is rewarded.

00:44:51.000 It really is.

00:44:53.000 Especially, again, when you look back on it and you think, you go through some of the claims.

00:44:59.000 And it was all just because they didn't want this guy to be on the Supreme Court.

00:45:03.000 A guy claimed that he wrote a letter to Sheldon Whitehouse's office concerning a rape on a boat in August of 1985.

00:45:11.000 And I think he ended up getting criminally charged for that.

00:45:14.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:45:15.000 But this is the thing.

00:45:16.000 They make these stories up.

00:45:19.000 I've told this before.

00:45:21.000 There are people that I've known that I consider to be really good friends from back in the day.

00:45:25.000 I used to skateboard with them.

00:45:27.000 All of a sudden, they're on X making up stories about me.

00:45:29.000 Tweeting at leftist podcasters who gleefully post this. 0.52

00:45:33.000 It's a world of psychotic cult-like behavioral lies.

00:45:36.000 Anyway, back to the main point.

00:45:37.000 You asked the question, is she doing this because of empathy?

00:45:41.000 It's because it's a cult.

00:45:43.000 Really, these are low-cognition people whose whole worldview is Oh, now's my chance to get something for me. 0.85

00:45:53.000 I think they're evil.

00:45:56.000 You know, I was talking to Jack Posobiec.

00:45:58.000 I said, Jack, you know, I'm not a Christian.

00:46:01.000 The resurrection story really, I just, it doesn't do it for me.

00:46:04.000 But I'll tell you what does.

00:46:06.000 Possession.

00:46:07.000 You tell me these people are possessed by demons and I'm more inclined to believe in your religion. 1.00

00:46:12.000 And I'm not joking about that because there are people that I know, that I've known my whole life.

00:46:17.000 That all of a sudden have turned evil, and I can't comprehend how.

00:46:22.000 And you say, that's even scarier to say low-cognition people.

00:46:26.000 I'm like, well, she's a judge! 0.97

00:46:28.000 Like, I used to imagine that judges were intelligent, but if you can be both a judge and psychotic, then that's insane.

00:46:36.000 I went to law school. 1.00

00:46:36.000 There's a bunch of dumb people in law school. 1.00

00:46:38.000 I mean, you don't have to be a genius to get through it. 0.99

00:46:40.000 You have to memorize enough stuff to pass tests.

00:46:42.000 That's it.

00:46:45.000 Yeah, you need to know precedent is one of the things.

00:46:49.000 Literally, so there are kind of cheat sheets like Cliff Notes back in the day, but there's like three, four pages.

00:46:54.000 They sell them.

00:46:55.000 They're laminated in most bookstores.

00:46:57.000 So you can get constitutional law, tort law, stuff like that.

00:47:00.000 And my professors back in the day in law school were like, don't go get those.

00:47:03.000 And I'm like, oh, I'm going to go get this then.

00:47:06.000 And literally, everything that was on the final exam was on a six to eight page.

00:47:12.000 Laminated thing.

00:47:13.000 And that's the same stuff that's on bar exams.

00:47:15.000 Doesn't take much.

00:47:17.000 That's so depressing.

00:47:18.000 Unreal.

00:47:20.000 And to your point about the story about when they talk about Brett Kavanaugh and suddenly he's in a dorm room and they're running trains on women and it sounds like a bad Hollywood movie, right?

00:47:31.000 Like some crazy story. 0.98

00:47:33.000 That's because politics is Hollywood for ugly people. 1.00

00:47:36.000 They claimed that Brett Kavanaugh... 0.88

00:47:39.000 Was party to these events where they would force women into a room. 0.99

00:47:44.000 Men would line up outside the door taking turns raping her. 1.00

00:47:48.000 While she's screaming and like everyone's just drinking and laughing about it. 0.96

00:47:52.000 Just unreal.

00:47:53.000 Just so completely and totally unreal.

00:47:56.000 And that was actually...

00:47:58.000 I mean, granted, it didn't do what it was intended to do, which was prevent him from getting on the Supreme Court.

00:48:04.000 So there was some...

00:48:07.000 There were some reasonable people that were like, okay, this is nuts.

00:48:10.000 But even still, to think that that's a moral way to behave and then to, again, to do those kind of things and then afterwards act as if you are the upright citizen of good character.

00:48:28.000 What was the next thing they tried doing to Kavanaugh?

00:48:31.000 I don't remember. 0.76

00:48:33.000 Kill him? 0.99

00:48:34.000 Oh, yeah. 0.99

00:48:35.000 Yeah, there was a guy around his house, right?

00:48:36.000 Yeah.

00:48:36.000 Showed up at his house with tools to kidnap and murder Brett Kavanaugh.

00:48:39.000 So when I see the ruling sometimes, I'm just like, you can see what they're thinking.

00:48:44.000 Like, Amy Coney Barrett is terrified.

00:48:48.000 She comes in.

00:48:49.000 She helps overturn Roe v. 0.84

00:48:50.000 Wade.

00:48:50.000 I'm pretty sure she was at the Conservatives on that one.

00:48:53.000 Now she's just ruling liberal the whole time. 1.00

00:48:55.000 Yeah, somebody got to her.

00:48:56.000 And maybe it was the death threat against Kavanaugh with a guy showing up.

00:49:00.000 She's probably thinking, you know, it really just comes down to which horse are you betting on?

00:49:03.000 You think Trump's going to win?

00:49:04.000 You think he's going to lose?

00:49:05.000 And if he's going to lose, you better play ball.

00:49:07.000 Otherwise, they're coming for you.

00:49:08.000 And they'll keep doing it, too, because one of the things is when you believe that fervently in almost a religious manner that what you're doing is right, you will start to believe that the ends justify the means and that will justify them to do whether it's lying about something that very clearly never happened in college at the expense of someone's reputation or attempting to harm someone who you believe is politically opposite of you.

00:49:31.000 if you believe that you are in the moral right there, and they do, they're willing to go above and beyond any all measure to do harm

00:49:38.000 Also, we don't know half the things that happen security-wise to these Supreme Court justices.

00:49:46.000 We knew the one story about Kavanaugh.

00:49:48.000 I mean, this is probably a regular thing that happens.

00:49:50.000 These death threats come through, and if you're not used to them...

00:49:52.000 I mean, it's so weird to be like, hey, I get them.

00:49:55.000 When I'm over the target, I get them.

00:49:57.000 It's fine.

00:49:58.000 Conceal carry, it's fine.

00:49:59.000 Let me show you this post.

00:50:00.000 I put this up a week ago.

00:50:01.000 But it exemplifies this.

00:50:04.000 It's from the Reddit thread, Change My View.

00:50:06.000 A person will post an opinion and then say, argue against me.

00:50:10.000 And they wrote, American conservatism is objectively a dangerous ideology, and those associated with it do not deserve a platform.

00:50:18.000 Writing, conservatism is undeniably a dangerous ideology.

00:50:21.000 It seeks to fundamentally destroy and undermine democracy, targets minorities, has led to authoritarian regimes, and has destroyed the US economy more times than I have fingers on my hands.

00:50:30.000 The far-right pro-capitalist system they seek to implement only benefits the rich while leaving the poor, middle class, and everybody else to rot.

00:50:36.000 They also seek to destroy education and brainwash children to believe in their hateful ideas.

00:50:42.000 Conservatism is not about freedom and small government.

00:50:44.000 It's about control.

00:50:45.000 Anybody who identifies as a conservative, or for that matter even a moderate right-leaning person, should not get a voice.

00:50:51.000 They are equally as guilty for the destruction of American democracy as Trump and his cronies.

00:50:57.000 Enabling conservatives to speak their minds is dangerous and leads to more harm to minorities.

00:51:02.000 Giving conservatives a voice further leads to fascism ideas being implemented.

00:51:07.000 It's time conservatives shut their mouths, listen to the real experts, and see that their hateful, divisive rhetoric and views are leading to fascism before our eyes.

00:51:14.000 Let me just summarize it real quick for you. 0.90

00:51:17.000 Conservatives are a threat to democracy, so we must end democracy.

00:51:22.000 This person is clearly anti-capitalism.

00:51:25.000 That's what it is.

00:51:26.000 They're making an anti-capitalist argument.

00:51:29.000 And ignoring the fact that capitalism is the engine that has pulled more people out of abject poverty than any other system that we've ever had.

00:51:39.000 They're totally unaware of it.

00:51:41.000 It's mind-boggling that people will make these arguments when they're literally sitting in a comfortable life because of things like capitalism and markets.

00:51:53.000 But do you know how infected our society is with this and this anti-capitalism?

00:51:56.000 It's bad.

00:51:57.000 It's bad.

00:51:57.000 And one of the things, not to shout out my company here, but one of the things that we work on is exposing all of these organizations and these corporate oversight.

00:52:07.000 Like the Human Rights Council, who used to just do gay marriage.

00:52:14.000 Now they do corporate governance and they give scores on how woke and how DEI these companies are.

00:52:21.000 And same with, there's a thing called B Corps and B Labs.

00:52:25.000 Our capitalist companies, our American-made companies, are going and just being... 0.70

00:52:31.000 Giving over their oversight to these crazy leftists with those ideologies.

00:52:35.000 Yeah, Hollywood has done a very, very good job of othering the idea of the billionaire. 0.86

00:52:41.000 It's one of these things where they've turned you into a supervillain no matter what, and they've turned you into some type of evil person.

00:52:47.000 I was talking earlier this week, they're rebooting a show called Royal Pains from the USA Network back in like 2008.

00:52:53.000 And in that show, there was lots of really, really rich people who had a concierge doctor in the Hamptons.

00:52:59.000 And most of those rich people were portrayed as eccentric and weird, but generally good-hearted.

00:53:04.000 And I said, they will never allow the ultra-rich to be portrayed in any type of positive way right now because they want to make sure that you as an average everyday person hold nothing but contempt for those who have made something for themselves and have built companies

00:53:19.000 that employ thousands of people.

00:53:21.000 Yeah.

00:53:21.000 Well, it's just about destroying the system.

00:53:23.000 Yeah. You look at everything that the unit party has given us over the past 30 years, and it was to gut and dismantle the United States.

00:53:30.000 Let's jump to this next story from the post-millennial.

00:53:33.000 Maryland man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

00:53:35.000 No, no, guys.

00:53:36.000 They put Maryland men in quotes.

00:53:38.000 Said to have been a gang member in 2018 court documents.

00:53:42.000 Quote, she is dating a gang member.

00:53:45.000 I think we have the images here.

00:53:46.000 Jenny Tayer says, the New York Post has obtained court docs from 2018 showing Kilmar Abrego Garcia was being accused of gang membership by his ex, his wife's ex, and the father of her two kids.

00:53:57.000 So let's pull up this document right here, which actually, it's harder to read now.

00:54:01.000 It says, motion and affidavit for, and then it's stamped over, filed.

00:54:07.000 It says, one, the underside party is acting to safeguard the children who are now in the physical custody of Jennifer Vasquez, Surratt says.

00:54:16.000 It says the children are in serious danger because she tried, I'm going to read it verbatim, okay?

00:54:21.000 She tried to kill herself.

00:54:23.000 And she left the kids with 11-year to take care off then. 0.99

00:54:28.000 And I'm afraid of my kids live are in the danger because she is dating a gang member.

00:54:35.000 I know these facts are to be true because I was there and the police was there too.

00:54:40.000 I have made the following attempts to notify Jennifer Vasquez-Sura.

00:54:44.000 Her response was, the court can't give you that custody of the kids because that... 1.00

00:54:51.000 I have no idea what that says.

00:54:53.000 Terapist?

00:54:54.000 Told me.

00:54:55.000 Is it meant to be therapist?

00:54:57.000 Therapist.

00:54:57.000 I don't know.

00:54:58.000 There's no H there.

00:54:59.000 Sounds like I wrote this.

00:55:00.000 Well, there you go.

00:55:02.000 So, fascinating.

00:55:03.000 That this just keeps getting worse and worse for Democrats.

00:55:06.000 That more and more evidence keeps emerging that this man is a gang member.

00:55:11.000 And they kept defending him.

00:55:13.000 They're going to keep defending him.

00:55:15.000 And what I absolutely love, as I mentioned this the other day, but on the David Pakman subreddit.

00:55:20.000 They were angry at conservatives saying something like, conservatives genuinely believe that Abrego Garcia is some gang member trafficking people and not just a family man who escaped El Salvador to practice family.

00:55:35.000 And it's like, why do you believe that?

00:55:39.000 Why do the liberals believe that narrative?

00:55:42.000 Because there's no evidence that's true.

00:55:44.000 The only evidence we have is he's been stopped multiple times, accused of trafficking, accused of being in a gang numerous times, adjudicated as being a gang member.

00:55:51.000 He's not from here.

00:55:52.000 The media lied about him being a Maryland man, and they still believe this stuff.

00:55:56.000 They never would have known that the media lied because they never would have looked into it any deeper than the headline.

00:56:00.000 How long until they redefined what a gang member is?

00:56:04.000 Gang is like a festival of friendship.

00:56:06.000 Yeah, gang just means three people hanging out.

00:56:09.000 So he's a member of a friend group?

00:56:11.000 I have a friend group.

00:56:11.000 I'm a gang member now.

00:56:12.000 I don't think we're far from that.

00:56:13.000 I agree.

00:56:14.000 I saw West Side Story.

00:56:16.000 Those are practically jolly.

00:56:18.000 They're out there snapping and dancing.

00:56:19.000 That's all it is.

00:56:22.000 Well, the definition of gang is an organized group of criminals.

00:56:27.000 Yeah, but who's to say what a criminal is?

00:56:29.000 Yeah.

00:56:29.000 I didn't think the Yang gang were a bunch of criminals back in the day.

00:56:32.000 You know, IJ walked earlier today.

00:56:34.000 Everyone breaks like two or three felonies a day, whether you realize it or not.

00:56:38.000 So who's to say what's actually worse than another, you know?

00:56:43.000 We should all just have compassion.

00:56:46.000 Well, that's what I was talking about earlier, the toxic, toxic empathy and toxic compassion from Americans who really do – I think a lot of it is just the average everyday person doesn't want to seem like they're not sympathetic to other people. 0.72

00:57:00.000 The reason why I don't believe it is because I have friends who are liberals and they post psychotic nonsense. 0.51

00:57:08.000 And so I send them messages saying, hey.

00:57:12.000 Hope this helps.

00:57:13.000 And they don't care.

00:57:15.000 So it's not an issue of trying to empathize with someone, because if Kilmar or Brego Garcia is the bad guy, or how about we do this?

00:57:24.000 The dude in the Wisconsin case, he's the bad guy.

00:57:28.000 He mercilessly beat a man.

00:57:30.000 I believe it was a man.

00:57:31.000 There were women there as witnesses. 1.00

00:57:32.000 I'm not sure if they were the victims, but let's just say he mercilessly beat someone.

00:57:35.000 And Fox News said he punched him, struck him in the face like 40 times, and then strangled them.

00:57:41.000 It is not empathy to let the bad guy escape.

00:57:44.000 Is that a bee or a fly?

00:57:46.000 I don't know, but it's pretty fast for a bass fly.

00:57:48.000 Maybe.

00:57:49.000 There's a bee that lives in here.

00:57:50.000 It's probably dead by now, but it's just exploring for some reason.

00:57:53.000 I got no beef with honeybees.

00:57:54.000 They're all right.

00:57:55.000 But anyway, what were we talking about?

00:57:56.000 Oh, yeah.

00:57:57.000 They don't empathize.

00:57:59.000 They simply seek to be a part of the cult.

00:58:01.000 So they will let villains escape so long as it's what the cult wants them to do.

00:58:05.000 I guess I see it more as like there's layers to this type of interaction, which is like you have the journalists who write the biased story, you have the influencers and the politically initiated who parrot the story, and then you have the average everyday person who only reads the headline,

00:58:20.000 and their empathy says, well, why would he deport a guy from Maryland?

00:58:24.000 And then they never look any farther into it, and those people vote too.

00:58:28.000 Yep.

00:58:28.000 That's my problem with it.

00:58:30.000 And they answer polls.

00:58:32.000 I gotta be honest, I don't think anybody answers polls.

00:58:34.000 I think it's fake.

00:58:35.000 The polls are just sitting there and you're like, let's just say Trump's doing well.

00:58:37.000 When's the last time you got a poll?

00:58:39.000 The Nielsen ratings.

00:58:41.000 To be fair, I get requests from civics all the time.

00:58:46.000 Civics will email me non-stop.

00:58:48.000 And I do them sometimes.

00:58:49.000 I think 2003 was the last time I got any kind of phone call or anything like that.

00:58:52.000 Maybe I just have a lot go to spam.

00:58:54.000 You know why I don't answer now when I get the phone calls though?

00:58:57.000 Is because when I do, the only thing I hear is it goes like, shh.

00:59:01.000 And then I hang up.

00:59:03.000 I'm not kidding.

00:59:04.000 Have you guys gotten those phone calls?

00:59:05.000 You might tell us when they say Timothy.

00:59:07.000 Oh, yeah.

00:59:08.000 No, but you know those phone calls that people have been getting where you answer it and it's just like a person speaks?

00:59:12.000 It's an automated Chinese phone call?

00:59:13.000 I have not.

00:59:14.000 You've never seen those?

00:59:15.000 Yeah, big story.

00:59:16.000 I was Chinese robocalls. 0.99

00:59:18.000 So I just stopped answering my phone.

00:59:19.000 I only get American robocalls.

00:59:21.000 American made.

00:59:23.000 No, what's interesting here about these cult members, by the way, you see who goes to these Democrat rallies now.

00:59:27.000 You see who's, like, lapping up the Bernie and the Tim Walz.

00:59:30.000 Real quick, sorry guys, look at this.

00:59:31.000 This is from two weeks ago.

00:59:32.000 North Carolina's Chinese-Americans of robocalls posing as officials. 0.96

00:59:36.000 It's been going on for some time.

00:59:38.000 It's two weeks ago the DOJ's warning about this.

00:59:39.000 This is Trump admin.

00:59:40.000 I like the idea that we're going to get, like, Chinese-Americans to start recording these calls now that we're bringing manufacturing back home. 0.96

00:59:49.000 We need Chinese robots.

00:59:50.000 What were you saying?

00:59:51.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:59:51.000 So you take a look at the people who go to these Tim Walsh events and the Marine events.

00:59:55.000 These cult members, they're old hippies, right?

00:59:57.000 And they're trying to relive their childhood.

00:59:59.000 They're trying to be a part of something when we've had it too good in this country for too long.

01:00:03.000 And I know things are bad, but we haven't had a civil war.

01:00:05.000 We haven't had some sort of major action in a long time.

01:00:08.000 And they want to feel like they're a part of something.

01:00:10.000 So it's much easier to get them into this cult because they feel like they're...

01:00:13.000 Affecting change by getting out there and screaming about Trump.

01:00:15.000 And they've got, I'm sure, a little bit of guilt from how successful they are.

01:00:19.000 Have you ever seen that picture that was going viral around the time of the election?

01:00:23.000 It was like the husband and the wife, they're out to this really nice dinner and they have their champagne glasses and they're like, these two boomers are voting for Kamala Harris this election.

01:00:31.000 And the top response is like, great, one more F you on the way out.

01:00:36.000 That's what I think.

01:00:37.000 Did you see the poll for boomers in Canada?

01:00:40.000 In Canada, they asked the different generations what their biggest concerns were in the election.

01:00:45.000 And Gen Z said the cost of housing, the cost of food, good jobs. 0.67

01:00:49.000 And the boomers said Trump. 0.72

01:00:51.000 In Canada!

01:00:52.000 The boomers were like, we're voting for the liberals because we hate Trump. 0.95

01:00:56.000 And Gen Z was like, we need food. 0.96

01:00:58.000 And social scare and like Medicare and stuff like that that they will benefit from but the kids will not.

01:01:04.000 I'm saying this is...

01:01:07.000 In January, a bunch of articles came out about this demographic cliff because this is the beginning.

01:01:12.000 2007 is when people stopped having kids.

01:01:14.000 Like, the numbers tanked.

01:01:15.000 Look, all those kids were at the Minecraft movie.

01:01:17.000 We'll be fine.

01:01:18.000 Dude.

01:01:19.000 And the other thing I'm hearing, too, is that of the Gen Zers who are, like, around 18, 19 who do work, they have anxiety disorder.

01:01:26.000 They don't answer their phones.

01:01:27.000 They're terrified.

01:01:28.000 They're socially awkward.

01:01:29.000 Did you see the stories about kids bringing their parents to job interviews?

01:01:33.000 What?

01:01:33.000 No!

01:01:35.000 That's a thing.

01:01:37.000 They are bringing their parents to their job interviews.

01:01:39.000 How could you expect to actually get hired?

01:01:41.000 Some of my favorite people to watch on TikTok, if I'm watching it...

01:01:45.000 What?

01:01:45.000 26% of Gen Zers want a parent to a job interview?

01:01:48.000 Watch some of these TikTokers that are like hiring managers who have TikTok accounts that have huge followings because it's just them talking about the insane stuff that Gen Z is doing. 0.98

01:02:00.000 Wow.

01:02:01.000 Yeah?

01:02:03.000 I can't even imagine how you, as an employer, would say yes.

01:02:08.000 You just play along with that and let them go?

01:02:09.000 I mean, you don't want to deal with somebody's family.

01:02:13.000 No, I mean...

01:02:14.000 You think pronouns are bad?

01:02:16.000 Come on.

01:02:16.000 I would probably be as mean as I could be, but in a way that wasn't too direct.

01:02:23.000 You know, like, if someone applied for a job and they showed up and their parent was there... 1.00

01:02:27.000 I would not do something like, you are pathetic, what a loser. 0.99

01:02:32.000 I'd probably bust out laughing and then ask them where the camera was. 1.00

01:02:35.000 Berate their parent. 0.99

01:02:36.000 You think this is okay?

01:02:38.000 This is you teaching your child how to be independent and be an adult?

01:02:42.000 You helping, you're coming to the interview?

01:02:45.000 You should be ashamed of yourself.

01:02:46.000 How do you handle that?

01:02:47.000 Can you tell me what's really good about your son, sir?

01:02:51.000 What are his best qualities?

01:02:53.000 Does he clean his room?

01:02:54.000 Well, we already know what your greatest weakness is.

01:02:56.000 Let's move on from that question.

01:02:57.000 I don't need to ask.

01:02:59.000 Are you both going to show up?

01:03:01.000 Do I have to provide a desk for both of you?

01:03:03.000 I mean, like, if you just...

01:03:04.000 No, you know what you do when they show up with their parent?

01:03:05.000 You walk up and shake the parent's hand and then ask the kid to wait in the car?

01:03:10.000 Go wait in the car, son.

01:03:12.000 Yeah, be like, thank you for coming.

01:03:14.000 I'd love to hear what you can bring to this job.

01:03:16.000 Oh, no, I'm the parent.

01:03:16.000 Sure.

01:03:17.000 You kid, hey, wait in the car.

01:03:18.000 We're going to talk about this job they're going to get.

01:03:20.000 Going outside, your daddy's going to talk.

01:03:22.000 Wow, how old are you?

01:03:24.000 I'm 47. Really?

01:03:26.000 And what do you do for a living?

01:03:29.000 I'm a lawyer.

01:03:30.000 You're hired!

01:03:31.000 I mean, it's a low-paying, entry-level job, but thanks for coming for the interview.

01:03:33.000 No, they don't do that anymore.

01:03:34.000 No, it's my son who's coming for the interview.

01:03:36.000 What?

01:03:36.000 There is two qualified.

01:03:38.000 So the 47-year-old lawyer going in for the job mopping up at the grocery store is not going to get the job.

01:03:44.000 He's overqualified.

01:03:46.000 I'd hire him.

01:03:46.000 I'd say you, sir, are hired.

01:03:48.000 But it's my son who's here for the job.

01:03:51.000 This wasn't even for entry-level jobs.

01:03:53.000 These were for jobs for people with degrees out of college.

01:03:58.000 So Gen Z is developmentally disabled and Gen Alpha doesn't exist.

01:04:03.000 Gen Alpha is projected to be between 40 and 48 million.

01:04:08.000 So Gen X is like mid-60s.

01:04:11.000 Boomers are like mid-60s. 1.00

01:04:14.000 Millennials are like 72. Gen Z I think is like 69 million.

01:04:19.000 Gen Alpha is supposed to be around 40 to 48 because millennials start having kids.

01:04:22.000 And then you've got Gen Z, developmentally disabled. 0.95

01:04:27.000 And then you've got Gen Alpha who just doesn't exist.

01:04:31.000 There's also a deep sense of nihilism amongst Gen Z where they just don't see a future for this country and they don't really – it's like don't – quitters never lose. 0.90

01:04:40.000 So why bother trying if the game has been rigged against you?

01:04:43.000 And that's kind of my argument.

01:04:44.000 Quitters never lose.

01:04:44.000 Well, that's kind of my argument.

01:04:46.000 Like if you – you can say all you want that AOC can't win an election, whether it has to do with their voice or whatever it is.

01:04:52.000 But when things get bad enough and somebody starts waving in front of you a catch-all solution that is the government, you have to be worried about something like that.

01:05:01.000 Even somebody with a mediocre presentation can win if the population is desperate enough and the solution they're offering is all-encompassing, even if we know that.

01:05:12.000 Yeah, and I don't think that Gen Z and younger will know it's a lie, because this generation sees cars that drive.

01:05:22.000 For you, right?

01:05:23.000 That's normal now.

01:05:24.000 Not every car does, but it's normal to be like, oh yeah, my Tesla can drive for me.

01:05:29.000 They're going to be the first generation that sees a significant amount of actual humanoid robots walking around.

01:05:39.000 Five years, there are going to be a lot of humanoid robots walking around society doing things that used to be done by people.

01:05:48.000 Within five years, that's going to be normal enough where people are like, oh.

01:05:51.000 And the impression that they get is, we don't have to work anymore.

01:05:55.000 It turns into Wally.

01:05:57.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:05:59.000 Because they're already talking about it.

01:06:01.000 You hear people talking about that on Reddit, saying, oh, you know, the super abundance is coming when the singularity comes, etc.

01:06:08.000 They all have the notion that there's no point in trying, because in just a few years, just a handful of years, Everything's going to be automated and you're not going to have to do any work.

01:06:19.000 Yeah, and then they'll just introduce the UBI.

01:06:22.000 Let's jump to this next story.

01:06:23.000 Let's jump to the story from The Verge.

01:06:26.000 Reddit bans researchers who used AI bots to manipulate commenters.

01:06:31.000 Indeed, Reddit's lawyer called the University of Zurich researchers project an improper and highly unethical experiment.

01:06:37.000 So, I was browsing Reddit.

01:06:39.000 As I often do, I like to read what the liberals is doing.

01:06:42.000 And I saw this post that said, you know, it was like alerting people to, I think it was the Change My View subreddit, that researchers were using bot accounts to manipulate the opinions of people who are browsing by spam blasting them.

01:06:55.000 This has resulted in this story where they've banned it.

01:06:58.000 They say, commenters on the popular subreddit changed my mind.

01:07:01.000 Pretty sure it was changed my view.

01:07:03.000 Found out last week and they've been majorly duped for months.

01:07:06.000 University of Zurich researchers set out to investigate the persuasiveness of large language models in natural online environments by unleashing bots pretending to be a trauma counselor, a, quote, black man opposed to Black Lives Matter, and a sexual assault survivor on unwitting posters.

01:07:23.000 The bots left 1,783 comments and amassed over 10,000 comment karma before being exposed.

01:07:29.000 They say Reddit's chief legal officer, Ben Lee, says the company is considering legal action over the improper and highly unethical experiment that is deeply wrong on both the moral and legal level.

01:07:39.000 I mean, guys, Reddit's all fake.

01:07:42.000 These comments have been bots for a long time.

01:07:44.000 We've known about this, that Democrats hired companies to tell people what to respond to other people.

01:07:50.000 So what would happen is you'd go on like the Joe Rogan subreddit and Joe would say something interesting.

01:07:55.000 And these these liberal leaning organizations hired staff to go in and comment specifically like this is wrong and here's why.

01:08:04.000 So that you constantly felt like you were on the wrong side of history to force public opinion.

01:08:09.000 This is just them exposing what they've...

01:08:13.000 These companies have been doing forever.

01:08:15.000 You know, Tim, that's how they're going to take Superman down in the James Gunn Superman movie.

01:08:18.000 Did you hear this?

01:08:19.000 Are you joking?

01:08:20.000 There's a rumor, a rumor that Superman is going to fight online trolls and that Lex Luthor has mutant bot farms that go against Superman. 0.99

01:08:30.000 Hashtag super shit. 0.99

01:08:31.000 I literally, we just did a video on it today. 1.00

01:08:33.000 Is that how Brainiac is?

01:08:35.000 Hold on.

01:08:35.000 So in the trailer for the new Superman, you see him walking into the building and throwing stuff at him?

01:08:41.000 It could actually...

01:08:41.000 I mean, I don't...

01:08:42.000 Again, this is a rumor.

01:08:43.000 I have no idea if this is true.

01:08:45.000 But James Gunn, given the fact that he got fired from Disney because of people taking offense to his tweets, it'll be the greatest self-insert ever.

01:08:53.000 And I know...

01:08:54.000 He's making himself Superman.

01:08:55.000 Well, my biggest complaint for this whole movie is that he's made the whole movie about him and it's not even about Superman anymore.

01:09:01.000 So this will be the biggest self-insert ever as Superman has to take on online trolls.

01:09:06.000 I'm just imagining like a world where Superman is like constantly dealing with Lex Luthor, the reply guy on X. 0.80

01:09:15.000 In the movie, Superman is frustrated by social media backlash with the hashtag super shit being mentioned several times as really getting under his skin. 0.70

01:09:25.000 Meanwhile, in Lex's interdimensional world, hundreds of mutant monkeys are shown typing furiously at keyboards. 0.96

01:09:31.000 Flooding social media with hate against...

01:09:33.000 Monkey Bot Farms!

01:09:35.000 Okay, hold on.

01:09:36.000 There's no way that's real, but I hope it is.

01:09:38.000 I hope it is.

01:09:39.000 I will see that movie twice.

01:09:42.000 That would be amazing.

01:09:43.000 I'm telling you.

01:09:45.000 I'm here for it. 0.99

01:09:46.000 It's absolutely ridiculous. 0.95

01:09:47.000 Yo, that sounds like something James Gunn would do. 0.96

01:09:50.000 Yes, it does.

01:09:50.000 And I seriously hope he did.

01:09:53.000 I mean, I don't think people will like it.

01:09:55.000 I will like it because it'll be hilarious, but they tried this with She-Hulk and it didn't work there, so I don't know if this is going to work.

01:10:01.000 It would make sense with the attitude Guy Gardner in it.

01:10:04.000 Like kind of the good guy who doesn't care about the commenters because he's kind of a dick on his own. 0.97

01:10:09.000 Is he? 0.99

01:10:10.000 Yeah, he's like the nasty Green Lantern with the attitude. 0.83

01:10:13.000 Mr. Terrific.

01:10:14.000 He has a bowl cut because he doesn't care what people think about him.

01:10:16.000 Mr. Terrific.

01:10:19.000 Mr. Terrific would have a really good social media page.

01:10:22.000 He's the tech guy.

01:10:23.000 This actually lines up if you look at the characters.

01:10:26.000 I think that's, I mean, maybe not the monkeys, but I think this is real.

01:10:29.000 I don't know if Hot Girl has social media, though.

01:10:32.000 She's just there because they need to EI it.

01:10:36.000 They're trying to shut down her OnlyFans at the same time. 0.92

01:10:40.000 Oh no.

01:10:42.000 Lex is using the monkeys to mass report her account. 0.87

01:10:45.000 She was trying to not be a violent superhero but because she lost all of her income from OnlyFans.

01:10:50.000 Think of the money you can make when you're immortal too and you get reborn.

01:10:53.000 You just start right over.

01:10:55.000 But there's like a period where you're old and you can't do it so you can only do it like...

01:10:59.000 20 out of 80 years.

01:11:01.000 Before that, she was doing just Playboy, and then as the generations go on, she evolves. 1.00

01:11:07.000 Did they change that story from they were reborn to they're aliens?

01:11:10.000 I don't know.

01:11:11.000 They're aliens now, right?

01:11:12.000 Actually, my favorite, by the way, if we're going to go down this nerd route, is Justice League Unlimited, which I think is probably the best DC product that's ever been made.

01:11:18.000 The cartoon?

01:11:19.000 It was, I agree, yeah.

01:11:20.000 I think the Justice League show in general was some of the best iteration of those characters.

01:11:27.000 Why are we talking about Superman?

01:11:29.000 Because bot farms.

01:11:30.000 If bot farms can take down Superman, it can certainly take down Reddit.

01:11:35.000 Where did this rumor come from?

01:11:40.000 MTTSH?

01:11:40.000 It came from AI.

01:11:42.000 I pointed out in the video, it's my time to shine hello, which is extremely unreliable.

01:11:48.000 I point that out.

01:11:49.000 Oh, you've got to pay for it too, aren't you?

01:11:51.000 Oh, please.

01:11:53.000 I mean...

01:11:54.000 Please.

01:11:55.000 I hope that is the plot.

01:11:57.000 I apologize for derailing everybody.

01:11:59.000 Don't apologize.

01:12:00.000 That was actually good.

01:12:01.000 You brought us on the rails.

01:12:03.000 Yeah.

01:12:04.000 We were on before then.

01:12:05.000 But look, I think dead internet theory is a real thing.

01:12:07.000 And I think the internet's fake.

01:12:09.000 And look, man.

01:12:13.000 Most of these podcasts people think are big or not big.

01:12:16.000 I mean not most, but a lot of them.

01:12:18.000 I just think that's where we're headed.

01:12:23.000 Perception is reality.

01:12:24.000 And I've been just looking at everything.

01:12:27.000 You know, because I know we've been talking about the demographic cliff quite a bit because it's on my mind, I guess.

01:12:32.000 But I'm wondering if one of the results of population collapse is that we are going to automate everything.

01:12:38.000 Have you guys seen the automated McDonald's?

01:12:41.000 Yeah.

01:12:41.000 It's like the robot arm grabs the burger and then drops it.

01:12:44.000 And then it goes and scoops the fries.

01:12:47.000 Why not?

01:12:48.000 And a lot of that stuff...

01:12:50.000 I mean, I hate to say it, but a lot of times when they automate stuff like that, you're getting a better prepared product more accurately.

01:12:58.000 You know who doesn't bring their parents to a job interview?

01:13:00.000 Robots.

01:13:00.000 Robots don't.

01:13:01.000 I mean, look, man.

01:13:03.000 Actually, to be completely honest, robots actually do 100% of the time.

01:13:07.000 Like, the guy who manufactures or owns the robots is doing the pitch as to why you should pay for their robots.

01:13:13.000 Like, this is the robot.

01:13:14.000 I've made it.

01:13:15.000 You should get it.

01:13:16.000 Is part of this also...

01:13:17.000 Okay, so you're saying that they're not...

01:13:19.000 Gen Alpha aren't getting first-time jobs in entry-level fields. 1.00

01:13:24.000 Gen Alpha?

01:13:25.000 I'm sorry, Gen Z is not populating entry-level jobs. 0.76

01:13:29.000 Okay, right?

01:13:30.000 And, like...

01:13:32.000 So, obviously, there are Gen Z that are completely capable.

01:13:34.000 Many of them work here.

01:13:36.000 We've stolen all of them.

01:13:36.000 There's three.

01:13:37.000 But no, of the millions, 79 million Gen Z, many of them are not working. 0.98

01:13:45.000 Many of them are not 18. There's a gap in this period because of the Great Recession, meaning there's a dip in the age of 18, which is so weird.

01:13:54.000 So, when this happens, you've got, what is Gen Z?

01:13:58.000 It was 97 to 2012, I think.

01:14:01.000 Is that what it is?

01:14:02.000 Yeah, I think that's what estimated range.

01:14:05.000 So you've got kids are being born like normal.

01:14:09.000 There is a declining birth rate, don't get me wrong, but relatively stable with a slight decline up to 2007.

01:14:15.000 Then a massive fertility drop off. 0.94

01:14:17.000 Then it slowly rebounds in 2010, 11, 12. So there's going to be a lot more 27, 26, 25 year old Gen Z. And right now, relatively few.

01:14:31.000 19, 20, 18, and then a lot of younger.

01:14:34.000 There's going to be this weird drop-off.

01:14:37.000 It's a weird phenomenon.

01:14:39.000 So right now, in this next couple of years, is where we're going to really get hit by this lack of 18-year-olds.

01:14:44.000 Largely what this means is the universities are screwed.

01:14:47.000 They're going out of business.

01:14:48.000 The story I read earlier was a 180-year-old university went under because there's no one to enroll anymore.

01:14:55.000 They build up this big infrastructure as population expands.

01:14:58.000 They add new buildings.

01:15:00.000 They add more professors, more jobs.

01:15:03.000 Then there's less and less young people.

01:15:05.000 There's more and more competition.

01:15:08.000 Goes under.

01:15:09.000 Liquidate the assets.

01:15:10.000 Shut it down.

01:15:11.000 This is what's crazy about it.

01:15:13.000 This is the analogy I used this morning.

01:15:15.000 If there is one shoe store, everybody's got to buy shoes, right?

01:15:19.000 So let's say there's one shoe store and 10 people live in town.

01:15:22.000 They go to the one place to buy the shoes, the shoemaker, the cobbler.

01:15:25.000 He's good.

01:15:26.000 Then one day...

01:15:28.000 You know, a bunch of people start moving into the town or people are having babies.

01:15:31.000 Now you have 100 people in the town.

01:15:33.000 Massive population boom.

01:15:35.000 That one shoemaker can't cut it. 1.00

01:15:37.000 He can only handle 10 shoes.

01:15:38.000 So what happens?

01:15:38.000 Nine more shoe stores pop open to provide shoes for all of the other people who live there.

01:15:43.000 You now have 10 shoe stores.

01:15:46.000 If you get an abrupt population collapse by 50% down to 50 people, it does not go down to five shoe stores.

01:15:52.000 It goes to zero.

01:15:53.000 Because what happens is you have all these shoe stores that are open.

01:15:57.000 And if it's a short-term hiccup, those 50 people will split their resources among 10 different shoe stores.

01:16:04.000 They'll all fall short of the money they need to survive by 50% and go out of business simultaneously.

01:16:12.000 You may go down to one shoe store, you'll get shortages.

01:16:15.000 But this is what happens with fixed infrastructure.

01:16:18.000 So what we're looking at right now, it's going to be Detroit times 10. I suppose we'll see.

01:16:24.000 All because of a lack of actual manpower.

01:16:28.000 Lack of manpower also means lack of economic stimulus in general.

01:16:33.000 People who aren't working also aren't buying things.

01:16:36.000 But you know what I see from this and why I loop it back into the bot farm stuff?

01:16:42.000 The end result really does feel like it's going to be live in the pot and eat the bugs.

01:16:47.000 Look, the restaurants out here that are closing because they can't find labor, they're going to be like, yep.

01:16:52.000 The only food we have to feed you now is going to be oatmeal.

01:16:55.000 Oatmeal and, you know, pea protein because lack of labor. 0.98

01:16:59.000 The robots can make oats and peas, but we can't really...

01:17:02.000 No more delicious sushi.

01:17:04.000 Sorry.

01:17:05.000 That's too complicated for the robots.

01:17:06.000 But if you plug into the Neuralink, meaning whatever you want, you put the Neuralink headset on, you go into VR world, and you will eat a smorgasbord of everything you've ever wanted.

01:17:18.000 What other industries would be hit the hardest?

01:17:21.000 Because I guess when I was thinking about this, you're talking about how they're not able to find employees.

01:17:26.000 And then I think back to when I was that age, and it was more that the boomers weren't retiring.

01:17:31.000 And you had a generation of people who weren't finding careers after going to college because they went, they got their degree, but nobody was retiring.

01:17:38.000 So there were no positions for them.

01:17:39.000 And it's now we're at the opposite end of that.

01:17:41.000 You know, man, it's such a big picture and it's so hard to see everything. 0.97

01:17:47.000 A lot of Gen Z are developmentally disabled, and I'm not saying that to be a dick. 0.97

01:17:52.000 I'm saying they have social anxiety disorder. 0.99

01:17:54.000 They are hikikomori. 0.96

01:17:55.000 They don't want to go outside.

01:17:56.000 They don't know how to get jobs.

01:17:57.000 They live at home.

01:17:58.000 They're in their early 20s.

01:18:00.000 Failure to launch.

01:18:01.000 It's happening to a lot of Gen Z. What happens when the boomers die? 1.00

01:18:06.000 And we're 10 years or so away from a major mortality cliff, which is what they're calling it.

01:18:14.000 Boomers are going to drop down. 1.00

01:18:16.000 To an estimated 20 million in 10 years.

01:18:21.000 Because they're hitting life expectancy.

01:18:24.000 These older Gen Z, whose parents are either older, like Gen X, or younger boomers, they're not going to have anyone to feed them. 0.85

01:18:35.000 They're not going to have a source of income.

01:18:37.000 If all you're doing is sitting at home, playing video games, and not getting a job, and it's failure to launch, sooner or later, those resources go dry.

01:18:43.000 What happens?

01:18:44.000 I mean, I would like to think that Hoping Against Hope is that the failure to launch is also the parents.

01:18:50.000 There's the discussion about whether, you know, I don't necessarily agree.

01:18:54.000 I don't agree that you should just kick the kids out at 18, right?

01:18:56.000 Which is something that's happened to a lot of people.

01:18:58.000 But also, like, if the parents die and they don't have anybody protecting them anymore, then by their own nature, they have to go and make something happen.

01:19:07.000 Otherwise, you can't just lay there and die.

01:19:10.000 So they have to go do something for themselves.

01:19:12.000 And maybe that allows them to...

01:19:14.000 We're there.

01:19:27.000 Yeah.

01:19:28.000 Yeah. I've been saying we have a managerial crisis for a long time.

01:19:32.000 I've been talking with other people who run businesses, and there is a managerial crisis.

01:19:38.000 I don't know what happened, but it may be that there's not enough young people.

01:19:43.000 Or this gap in this age demographic because of the financial crisis has been persistent in terms of training as well.

01:19:52.000 There's not enough people to have been taught these jobs.

01:19:55.000 So let's go hard analogy.

01:19:59.000 Doesn't apply 100%.

01:20:00.000 Let's say you've got, you know, 10 brackets.

01:20:04.000 10-year-old, 20-year-old, 30-year-old, 40-year-old, 50, 60, 70, 80. And, you know, at 30...

01:20:11.000 A person is now a master of their profession.

01:20:15.000 At 40, they're training a 20-year-old.

01:20:18.000 The 20-year-old becomes a master of their profession, turns 40, trains a 20-year-old.

01:20:21.000 Let's say you drop all of the 20-year-olds.

01:20:24.000 The 40-year-old goes, I have no one to train.

01:20:26.000 So they keep working, and this gap persists.

01:20:30.000 The next group, 10-year-olds move up 10 years into that bracket.

01:20:34.000 There is now no one to train them.

01:20:37.000 When you have this—I think we may be facing this managerial crisis because the forced retirements during COVID meant that people were leaving without training their replacements, and you have a demographic drop-off.

01:20:51.000 So you have substantially less people to learn the trade and an abrupt firing which resulted in people not training the trade.

01:20:58.000 And now you have businesses that can't hire people.

01:21:01.000 They're failing to run, and they're shutting down.

01:21:04.000 And then, of course, you have jaded Gen Z. You've got the developmentally disabled ones who are suffering from social anxiety disorder.

01:21:10.000 They can't answer the phone.

01:21:11.000 They can't talk to people properly.

01:21:12.000 And then you have others that just think it's pointless.

01:21:16.000 Don't get me wrong.

01:21:16.000 There's a lot of Gen Z that are moving to the right that are reportedly finding Jesus in Christianity.

01:21:20.000 And so they're going to survive.

01:21:23.000 They're going to make it work.

01:21:24.000 They're driven to do so.

01:21:25.000 But these other ones, I don't know what happens.

01:21:28.000 But I will tell you, people don't just roll over and die.

01:21:31.000 But how would this have happened prior to this generation?

01:21:34.000 You said a 40-year-old trains a 20-year-old.

01:21:37.000 Can you give me an example?

01:21:38.000 Because, again, when I think of this, I don't think of them as training someone and then leaving.

01:21:43.000 I think of what we talked about in my generation was the boomers never retiring.

01:21:47.000 So you train someone to then never leave your job anyway.

01:21:51.000 That's part of the problem.

01:21:52.000 That's why I'm saying it's not necessarily one for one.

01:21:54.000 I'm trying to highlight that this is a problem.

01:21:56.000 It's granular.

01:21:57.000 And it will have a percentage-based effect on the market.

01:21:59.000 So if normally an older generation trains a younger generation, but now you have abrupt retirements and you have less of that generation, we might see, what does that result in?

01:22:09.000 7-8% economic downturn because there's not enough people to run these jobs.

01:22:13.000 The demand will return if the generations after are inflated, but Gen Alpha is half the size of millennials.

01:22:22.000 It's like a little bit more than half.

01:22:24.000 So there's going to be no demand and no labor.

01:22:27.000 So you will live in the pod.

01:22:28.000 You will eat the bugs.

01:22:31.000 Let's jump to this next story from the New York Post.

01:22:37.000 The story is quite simple, my friends.

01:22:45.000 People are reportedly going blind from taking a drug to make them lose weight.

01:22:50.000 My understanding is all the drug doesn't make you vomit.

01:22:52.000 Am I wrong about that?

01:22:55.000 It suppresses your appetite.

01:22:56.000 Yeah, doesn't it slow down your digestive system?

01:22:58.000 Yes, but like, how does it suppress your appetite?

01:23:00.000 I've heard other things that it actually does affect your ability to...

01:23:05.000 What?

01:23:07.000 So I've heard that it actually works to help...

01:23:12.000 Make you more disciplined.

01:23:14.000 If you have cravings for alcohol, it helps with that.

01:23:18.000 If you have cravings for nicotine, it helps with that.

01:23:20.000 So it's not just about food.

01:23:23.000 It slows down how fast food leaves your stomach, making you feel full longer after eating.

01:23:29.000 They call it intrusive food thoughts.

01:23:32.000 Like people who eat late at night.

01:23:35.000 It really is crazy to me that there are people who can't just...

01:23:40.000 Like they have no control over their bodies.

01:23:42.000 No, for real.

01:23:44.000 Honestly, there are a lot of people, and I know it's normal, but I just don't comprehend this, that are like, I wish I didn't eat that food, but I'm going to eat it anyway.

01:23:55.000 And it's like, have you considered just not doing that?

01:23:59.000 There are a lot of people that think that discomfort is something to be avoided at all costs.

01:24:07.000 That's not what I mean.

01:24:09.000 I'm saying that there are people who quite literally go, I wish I wasn't eating this pizza right now.

01:24:14.000 And I'm like, just put it down.

01:24:16.000 But the thing that's making them continue to eat it is they have the desire.

01:24:21.000 And to say, I'm not going to indulge that desire, which is...

01:24:26.000 This is my point.

01:24:27.000 They have no control over their bodies.

01:24:29.000 They're like, help me, please.

01:24:31.000 I can't...

01:24:32.000 My hand!

01:24:34.000 It's making me drink this!

01:24:35.000 Well, you have to add in all the steps to go to the store to buy it or order it as well.

01:24:38.000 I mean, there are multiple levels to this.

01:24:40.000 Two weeks ago, I went for a 72-hour water fast and made it 88 hours.

01:24:45.000 I know I've got to get my stuff together.

01:24:47.000 It's just a mental game.

01:24:48.000 And, you know, if anybody out there is thinking about it, again, like, it's literally just all in your head.

01:24:52.000 Water fast?

01:24:53.000 Water fast.

01:24:53.000 So all you do is drink water for 72 hours.

01:24:56.000 For a second, I thought you meant, like, you fasted water.

01:24:58.000 No, I would drop dead.

01:24:59.000 I'm like, wait, what?

01:25:00.000 That's the opposite.

01:25:01.000 No, no, no. 1.00

01:25:01.000 I'm an idiot. 1.00

01:25:02.000 But no, I mean, it's very good for you. 0.99

01:25:04.000 I saw nothing negative about it.

01:25:06.000 I feel like, you know, for me in particular, I'm overweight right now, and I think I could probably go, if healthily done, a couple of weeks, and your body's energy.

01:25:15.000 They say that when you fast, Your body's—the first thing your body does for energy when it goes to—when it goes for stores, it takes damaged cells.

01:25:24.000 It breaks down.

01:25:25.000 So I think Ian always talks about apoptosis.

01:25:28.000 No, that's something else.

01:25:29.000 Autophagy.

01:25:30.000 Autophagy.

01:25:30.000 There you go.

01:25:31.000 Serge's got me.

01:25:31.000 He's got me.

01:25:33.000 Apoptosis is when bad cells get destroyed by the body, and autophagy is when your body consumes the energy from bad cells, which makes you better.

01:25:43.000 Caloric deprivation increases lifespan.

01:25:45.000 Well, and you realize very quickly that, like, you know, around day three, like, it's all mental.

01:25:49.000 Day three, you wake up and it's like, oh, this is another day.

01:25:51.000 I'm eating because of habit.

01:25:53.000 I'm not saying that, like, look, if there's somebody who's overweight, if you're overweight and you're like, whatever, I don't care.

01:26:00.000 Like, I'm not saying that.

01:26:01.000 I'm saying that it's crazy to me that there are people who are like, I wish I wasn't so fat.

01:26:06.000 But I'm gonna eat anyway.

01:26:08.000 I know.

01:26:09.000 I will inject myself with this drug instead.

01:26:11.000 There are people who have taken out, like, massive loans to be able to pay for their Ozempic and their Wagovi prescriptions.

01:26:19.000 There was, I don't know how far and wide this interview went, but Sharon Osbourne was on Ozempic. 0.87

01:26:23.000 Oh, yeah.

01:26:23.000 And she did an interview with, who was it?

01:26:26.000 The comedian.

01:26:27.000 It, like, destroyed her body, though.

01:26:28.000 Yes.

01:26:28.000 Her body basically didn't restart.

01:26:30.000 Yeah.

01:26:31.000 And so she wasn't able, her body wasn't getting the calories it needed, and she looked like death. 0.91

01:26:35.000 Yep.

01:26:36.000 That's crazy.

01:26:37.000 Today, like, my problem is getting enough calories when I'm skating or exercising.

01:26:41.000 So I took, like, a third cup of rice flour, poured water in it, stirred it up, microwaved it, put peanut butter on it, and just jammed it down my throat.

01:26:48.000 Because otherwise I don't get the calories when I'm skating.

01:26:51.000 I have the inverse problem.

01:26:53.000 I can't, I don't understand.

01:26:54.000 People are going blind.

01:26:56.000 And this is a known side effect, and they're like, whatever, let's do it anyway.

01:26:59.000 Well, it's from decades of the commercials for any medication.

01:27:03.000 It says these side effects and it lists the worst things that could have ever happened to a person.

01:27:07.000 Lump in your neck.

01:27:08.000 And these things are now advertised.

01:27:10.000 We were at the mall recently and there were ads for Ozempic as a weight loss medication, not as a diabetes medication, which is what its actual labeled use is for.

01:27:21.000 And, you know, people these days, they look at that, they look at the easy fix, and it's a generation of kids.

01:27:26.000 The other thing that I thought was interesting about it is you've got a whole generation of kids raised on Adderall who never ate that much growing up anyways, and they go off the Adderall and they're like, holy crap, food tastes great.

01:27:35.000 They look for another medical solution.

01:27:37.000 I'm going to throw this in in code so I don't violate any rules, but could you imagine if the thing from a couple of years ago, they told everybody it made you lose weight at the same time?

01:27:47.000 They're like...

01:27:47.000 The problem is...

01:27:50.000 What's his face?

01:27:51.000 Who was the mayor?

01:27:51.000 De Blasio.

01:27:52.000 Was like, look at these delicious French fries.

01:27:55.000 Look at this cheeseburger.

01:27:56.000 Oh boy, you can have one of these too.

01:27:58.000 It is.

01:28:01.000 Look, I can understand like if you're addicted to a drug or smoking, but I just don't understand.

01:28:08.000 That type of eating hits the same pleasure center in the brain.

01:28:11.000 But it feels to me like you're possessed.

01:28:14.000 How do you not control yourself?

01:28:16.000 The best way that I've ever been found to describe wanting a cigarette when I was relating it to someone else, it's like being hungry.

01:28:24.000 When I was really wanting a cigarette, the closest thing that I could describe it as is being really hungry.

01:28:34.000 Without the stomach pains, it's still a very similar, just like, man, I really want to eat that, whatever.

01:28:42.000 It's the same kind of motivation.

01:28:44.000 You ever hear of that book that's like, what is it called?

01:28:48.000 It's like, this book will make you quit smoking or something?

01:28:51.000 There is a book called that, yeah.

01:28:52.000 And it actually tells you to smoke while you're reading it.

01:28:55.000 By the time you're done, you'll never have another cigarette.

01:28:56.000 And I've heard people swear by it like it works.

01:28:58.000 I don't know, man.

01:28:59.000 And then you get into Gen Z talking about, look, I'm never going to own a home.

01:29:02.000 My life is going to be miserable.

01:29:03.000 So their idea of splurging now is to buy good food.

01:29:07.000 And go to the grocery store and buy good food.

01:29:10.000 So a lot of it is that food is used, you know, they talk about eating emotionally.

01:29:14.000 This is why they're not getting houses.

01:29:15.000 Yeah.

01:29:16.000 I mean, you're probably never going to...

01:29:19.000 You guys see that viral clip from Boy Meets World where Topanga and whatever the...

01:29:24.000 Everybody knows her name because...

01:29:26.000 Corey.

01:29:26.000 There you go.

01:29:26.000 I don't know his name.

01:29:27.000 He was like, the house is $80,000 and you'll need $4,000 down.

01:29:31.000 It's like, where are we going to get $4,000?

01:29:33.000 It was something like that.

01:29:35.000 It was like a really cheap house and this was in the late 90s.

01:29:38.000 Now it's like...

01:29:39.000 A Gen Z couple, you know, they're like 23, 24, they're getting married, they want to buy a house.

01:29:44.000 Well, the down payment in this house is $100,000, and it's 500 grand if you want to live in your town where you work.

01:29:50.000 It's like, okay, I can't do that.

01:29:52.000 You know, like, we're in the middle of nowhere out here, and the houses are like 500 grand.

01:29:56.000 You're not going to own a house. 0.82

01:29:57.000 So I'm going to go and buy good food instead, because if I'm going to be renting for the rest of my life, then damn it, I'm going to eat well while doing it. 0.79

01:30:04.000 Yeah. 0.81

01:30:06.000 You know what, man?

01:30:08.000 You just don't, and you save your money.

01:30:12.000 It's hard for people.

01:30:14.000 Like you said, they can't control themselves.

01:30:15.000 I think it's entirely orchestrated, to be completely honest, because there's no way all of these things, I feel, could be an accident.

01:30:20.000 You've got the Democrats.

01:30:24.000 I would say it's the uniparty establishment saying, don't have kids.

01:30:28.000 It's bad for the environment.

01:30:30.000 The world is overpopulated.

01:30:31.000 Don't have kids.

01:30:32.000 Then you get a financial collapse.

01:30:34.000 Oh, no, now you can't have kids. 0.77

01:30:35.000 Better not. 0.98

01:30:37.000 Then you have, go have an abortion. 1.00

01:30:39.000 Just have abortions, don't have kids. 0.99

01:30:40.000 Then you have TV shows like Michelle, what's her face? 0.60

01:30:43.000 I don't remember her name, but she had the Netflix special where she was like, you get an abortion and you get an abortion. 1.00

01:30:48.000 Oh yeah, Michelle Wolfe.

01:30:49.000 Wolfe, that was her name.

01:30:50.000 You have all of these things.

01:30:52.000 Then you have YouTube promoting van life.

01:30:56.000 Remember that viral trend of van life where they were like, look how great it is to live in a van!

01:31:00.000 It's the best thing ever!

01:31:02.000 All those people had email jobs.

01:31:03.000 Those vans cost as much as some starter homes.

01:31:06.000 But they were trying to...

01:31:07.000 Indeed.

01:31:09.000 To be fair, I built the van that I had.

01:31:12.000 I think it was like $35,000.

01:31:14.000 So it's not like it's cheap.

01:31:17.000 But it's not a house.

01:31:19.000 And then you get a big social push saying, why don't you go live in a van down by the river?

01:31:24.000 And young people all wanted to do it.

01:31:25.000 And many pursued it.

01:31:27.000 And it is really funny to see how many people tried it and then afterwards they were like, I was miserable and it was the worst thing ever.

01:31:32.000 Like, you lived in a car, dude!

01:31:34.000 What did you think it was going to be like?

01:31:35.000 I didn't realize I wasn't going to be able to sleep in any parking lot I wanted any time and that they were going to be chasing me off places.

01:31:41.000 The seventh night in a row of a cop banging on my window with a billy club telling me to move along or I'm under arrest was when I realized this actually doesn't work.

01:31:48.000 I do believe, though, that a lot of the resentment comes from whether it's millennials or Gen Z and their parents be like, don't buy that coffee or you're never going to be able to own a home.

01:31:57.000 And you're like, the home is $500,000.

01:32:00.000 My $7 coffee isn't putting a dent in that, even if I do it every day for the next 20 years.

01:32:05.000 If they put $7 in a Bitcoin every day for 20 years, they own a house.

01:32:09.000 That's a different conversation entirely.

01:32:11.000 So you're telling me, by the way, that you don't like, have you ever seen the plus-size park hoppers? 0.97

01:32:15.000 Plus-size park hoppers? 0.90

01:32:16.000 And have been suggested to me on Instagram every day!

01:32:19.000 You have to look up plus-size park hoppers. 1.00

01:32:22.000 No, because then it's going to start spam blasting.

01:32:23.000 Yeah, it will.

01:32:24.000 They are a friend, sizes 2X to 5X, that show you inside Disney parks whether or not you can fit, not just in rides.

01:32:33.000 But in restaurants where, like, you know, you get concerned.

01:32:35.000 Like, are there arms on the chairs that I won't be able to fit in to eat?

01:32:40.000 They're putting, like, the thing over them to see if they fit.

01:32:43.000 You know what?

01:32:43.000 I gotta be honest.

01:32:44.000 At this point, anybody who, like...

01:32:48.000 I feel like most informed people who are paying attention and care about themselves...

01:32:53.000 Would not care if Trump intentionally collapsed everything as a purge. 1.00

01:32:59.000 Trump's just looking around, he's like, it's a bunch of lazy, degenerate, overweight filth. 0.99

01:33:03.000 He burns the economy. 1.00

01:33:05.000 He has no interest in America.

01:33:06.000 It's literally just, I want, like, he's going to create his Ubermensch just by destroying the economy.

01:33:13.000 That's it.

01:33:13.000 Destroy the economy, close the border, and then anybody who survives deserves to.

01:33:18.000 But please, if it's the segment from the Plus Size Park Hoppers called If I Fits, I Sits that does it, I need to know.

01:33:26.000 Anybody from the, please just let me know, White Elves. 1.00

01:33:28.000 To be fair, though, the morbidly obese can survive a long time without food.

01:33:32.000 Absolutely.

01:33:32.000 Water and vitamins.

01:33:33.000 Your plan that you just proposed by Trump, that's like the ultimate meritocracy.

01:33:39.000 Collapse everything.

01:33:41.000 But, you know, it would be funny if Trump's just, like, looking around at a Gen Z that won't work to save their lives, millennials that won't have babies to save the country, morbidly obese homeless people, and he's like, maybe we need some depression.

01:33:53.000 All he needs to do is stroll through the streets of D.C. I mean, there was a guy on the Metro that, I forget his name, but he was a naked, morbidly obese guy that just people knew was showing up on the Metro for a long time in Washington, D.C., and they wouldn't remove him.

01:34:08.000 Why wouldn't they remove him?

01:34:09.000 He's probably too big.

01:34:11.000 Too big.

01:34:12.000 And also, like, he was literally naked.

01:34:14.000 Like, he never wore clothes.

01:34:15.000 It was just a very large...

01:34:16.000 He just lived there?

01:34:17.000 Yes.

01:34:18.000 Too big to fail.

01:34:21.000 Man, I don't know.

01:34:22.000 I'm just saying, like, I feel like if social order completely collapsed, then it's largely the Trump side of things that would make it through all right.

01:34:36.000 Yeah, because they know that your groceries don't come from the grocery store.

01:34:39.000 Indeed.

01:34:40.000 Or they have backyard chickens.

01:34:42.000 And that's it.

01:34:44.000 I mean, not just that.

01:34:45.000 Like, there'll be plenty of them that do go shop at the grocery store that just still understand the importance of hard work and that nobody's coming to save you.

01:34:52.000 And even if they don't necessarily have the chickens in the backyard or are farming, they understand that it's pointless to argue about whether it's right or wrong for the world to be so cold, but just accept that it is and push forward pragmatically.

01:35:08.000 It's funny because I've had this conversation probably like...

01:35:12.000 You guys probably have, but for 10 years now, I've talked to a bunch of people.

01:35:15.000 I did an interview with some survivalists.

01:35:17.000 I think it was like 10 years ago when I asked them, what do you think would happen in the event of like social collapse?

01:35:23.000 Which political faction would survive?

01:35:25.000 And these guys were actually kind of, they were like moderate, urban, liberal, but more like where we are, not far left, crazy, woke.

01:35:32.000 And they were like, oh, they're right in two seconds.

01:35:34.000 They were like, I mean, just come on.

01:35:36.000 These tend to live in rural areas already.

01:35:39.000 Tend to live far away from gas stations and stores.

01:35:42.000 Tend to stock up on supplies more than...

01:35:45.000 When you live in a city, you have no groceries in your fridge.

01:35:46.000 You walk downstairs.

01:35:47.000 Like, if you live in New York, you could literally live above a restaurant.

01:35:51.000 More likely to know somebody who knows those skills in the book that they're going to have to go and find.

01:35:56.000 If not know it themselves.

01:35:57.000 I'll tell you, one of the best places I ever lived.

01:36:00.000 It was brief, but above a subway.

01:36:03.000 Every morning, you wake up to the smell of fresh subway bread.

01:36:07.000 And then I walk downstairs, and I get my sandwich made for a couple bucks.

01:36:10.000 It was great.

01:36:12.000 Make sure Jared doesn't sneak into your room at night. 0.53

01:36:14.000 Gross. 0.96

01:36:16.000 Gross. 0.92

01:36:17.000 That was never a thing. 0.84

01:36:18.000 He wasn't going to sneak in your room.

01:36:20.000 He couldn't have fit anyway.

01:36:21.000 You were too old.

01:36:22.000 Well, he lost it.

01:36:23.000 You were living on your own.

01:36:24.000 It gets worse.

01:36:25.000 You were living on your own.

01:36:26.000 It gets worse.

01:36:55.000 He says, I'm a millennial journeyman, tool and die maker.

01:36:59.000 Learn from a boomer.

01:37:00.000 It is one of the most overlooked trades that has died out and we need more.

01:37:04.000 I hope I have some younger people to pass the trade on.

01:37:07.000 And beyond just the skill set itself being useful in the real world, one of the greatest markets you can be in right now if you're looking to create social media content is any type of niche skill makes for, like, you do huge numbers, not just on TikTok, but YouTubers and stuff who have,

01:37:23.000 like, cobblers.

01:37:24.000 Right?

01:37:25.000 Or anything.

01:37:26.000 Woodworking.

01:37:27.000 Stuff like that.

01:37:27.000 If you're an electrician and you do like really, really clean installs of wiring and stuff, people want to see it.

01:37:36.000 All right.

01:37:37.000 Happy Garan says, did anything ever come of the idea of buying the Lennon statue for your chickens to poop on?

01:37:42.000 I think we briefly explored it and then basically abandoned the idea.

01:37:45.000 That's why I was like, guys, don't give us any money for this.

01:37:47.000 We don't know if we can do it.

01:37:48.000 But I do love the idea.

01:37:50.000 Maybe we should put together a give, send, go.

01:37:52.000 To raise the funds to buy it and then donate it to a gun tuber? 0.62

01:37:56.000 If there's an artist or sculptor in the Discord that could actually sculpt one for it.

01:38:03.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:38:05.000 A lot of work.

01:38:06.000 And to make a statue of Lenin?

01:38:08.000 Now, how about you make a statue of Trump spanking Lenin?

01:38:12.000 And then we put it up in city square somewhere.

01:38:14.000 We donate it to a city.

01:38:15.000 No, you know what we do?

01:38:16.000 We make Trump spanking Lenin.

01:38:18.000 And then we sneak into New York in the middle of the night and drop it off in front of the bull.

01:38:22.000 You know how they did that with the girl defying the bull?

01:38:25.000 That's still there.

01:38:26.000 I can't believe that. 1.00

01:38:27.000 It's so idiotic. 1.00

01:38:30.000 Yep. 1.00

01:38:30.000 There are no men in New York that would just put their foot down and say, no, ladies, you can't put the girl in front of the bull. 1.00

01:38:38.000 Is that like on Wall Street or something?

01:38:40.000 Yeah.

01:38:40.000 Okay, that's the one I'm thinking of.

01:38:41.000 Like just north of Wall Street.

01:38:44.000 All right.

01:38:45.000 Commander says, hey, Tim, if you have a chance, I think you...

01:38:48.000 All with Phil should look into the song lyrics for the song Toxic by Starset as it is what you have been saying for months.

01:38:59.000 Indeed, all right, we'll take a look.

01:39:01.000 Shane H. Waters says, Oh no, the cheap knockoff Chinese items on Amazon are going to cost more.

01:39:05.000 Whatever will we do?

01:39:06.000 I guess we're just going to have to buy the legit products.

01:39:08.000 Yeah, there was a lot of talk about how the White House was responding to the idea of Amazon putting the information about the tariffs and stuff.

01:39:17.000 And I mean, personally, my first thought was I don't have a problem with Amazon making it clear when you're buying a Chinese knockoff.

01:39:27.000 I don't have a problem with that at all.

01:39:28.000 I saw a car commercial the other day when they said our cars aren't affected by, I forget, I think it was Toyota.

01:39:34.000 Yeah, they're not affected by tariffs.

01:39:36.000 And at the very end they go, because they were made in the United States.

01:39:38.000 And it was like, why don't you just say American made?

01:39:41.000 American made!

01:39:42.000 It's a way better selling point.

01:39:43.000 It was so weird how it was framed.

01:39:45.000 Alright, AlphaTurkey says, Fallout show is the way to do it, not Last of Us.

01:39:49.000 Well, the funny thing about The Last of Us is, so I was looking at the reviews today.

01:39:54.000 There were a bunch of reviews from people who never played the game.

01:39:57.000 And there's like boomers and they're angry that Joel dies because they did not play the game. 0.98

01:40:02.000 They didn't know that the game basically ruined the whole story.

01:40:05.000 Or have just never been online ever a day in their life.

01:40:07.000 Because if you have, you would have known that that happens, even if you haven't played the game.

01:40:10.000 I mean, look, if you're 60 years old and you're watching, it was on HBO or whatever.

01:40:14.000 Not Joel.

01:40:15.000 I need my Pedro Pascal.

01:40:17.000 I'm terrible casting choices.

01:40:19.000 What are they thinking?

01:40:20.000 Okay, here's the thing.

01:40:21.000 He is overcast and everything.

01:40:22.000 You are 110% correct, but the only reason that first season had any emotional resonance at all was because he did a fairly good job of being an average to above average actor.

01:40:32.000 He is just overexposed.

01:40:33.000 What were they thinking with casting Bella Ramsey?

01:40:37.000 Is that the Vem?

01:40:38.000 She goes by Vem.

01:40:39.000 Does she?

01:40:40.000 Yes.

01:40:41.000 Ah.

01:40:41.000 She does.

01:40:42.000 So annoying.

01:40:43.000 You don't have pretty girls anymore. 1.00

01:40:44.000 Was the first game super woke?

01:40:47.000 My understanding it was not.

01:40:48.000 No.

01:40:48.000 The second game was super woke though.

01:40:49.000 It was the second.

01:40:50.000 There's a YouTuber named Greg Owen who does a great video dissecting the second game and how it could have been improved upon to make the show better.

01:40:59.000 He had a video a couple weeks ago.

01:41:00.000 I recommend everyone checking that out.

01:41:02.000 I just...

01:41:03.000 I watched season one and...

01:41:07.000 I wanted to finish the season because it's a cultural item. 0.54

01:41:12.000 But the gay sex scenes that were in it, that weren't in the game, I thought was gratuitous and strange. 0.80

01:41:18.000 And it just brought the whole thing to a stop, right?

01:41:20.000 It wasn't integrated in any sort of way that felt like they were writing it to actually move the story forward.

01:41:25.000 It just edited gratuitous.

01:41:26.000 Episode 3, and then it's just bam, and everything stops.

01:41:29.000 And I just want to stress, that's not in the game.

01:41:32.000 They were like, we're going to deviate from the game's storyline to give you... 0.95

01:41:36.000 A whole episode just literally about gay sex. 0.87

01:41:38.000 It's not from the game. 0.96

01:41:39.000 It's not just that episode.

01:41:41.000 It was also like episode 7 in the mall in season 1 also brought it to a grinding halt.

01:41:46.000 Also not in the first game.

01:41:47.000 It was like the bonus after game or whatever where it's like, did you know that Ellie is gay?

01:41:51.000 If you want to watch a fantastic show based on a video game, you watch the Twisted Metal series on Peacock.

01:41:57.000 Really?

01:41:58.000 Oh yeah.

01:41:58.000 When did that come out?

01:41:59.000 Two years ago.

01:42:00.000 The second season comes out like next month or something.

01:42:02.000 Oh, I should watch that.

01:42:04.000 Really?

01:42:04.000 Yeah.

01:42:05.000 I never even checked that one out.

01:42:06.000 I got into Fallout.

01:42:06.000 Because nobody watches Peacock.

01:42:07.000 I really liked Fallout.

01:42:08.000 Anything with Walton Goggins right now, other than White Lotus, I meant.

01:42:11.000 No, you go watch Justified.

01:42:13.000 Fallout was good.

01:42:15.000 Yeah.

01:42:15.000 Yeah, I thought it was good.

01:42:17.000 There you go.

01:42:18.000 If you want Walton Goggins, it's Justified as Boyd Crowder.

01:42:22.000 Or Baby Billy.

01:42:23.000 Righteous Gemstones.

01:42:24.000 The funny thing is, there was an article from Collider that said that it's being review-bombed, but it was like, the review bomb isn't isolated to Rotten Tomatoes, and then I'm like, guys. 0.92

01:42:33.000 If every review aggregator is negative, it's probably because the show sucks.

01:42:40.000 But, you know, they were like, people are just targeting minorities and women. 0.99

01:42:45.000 You're basically saying a bunch of white guys went online with nothing better to do to just spam your show that it sucks. 0.99

01:42:50.000 Maybe it's just a bad show. 0.99

01:42:53.000 Alright, what have we here?

01:42:55.000 Emerito Berrio says, it's 10pm, do you know where your kids are?

01:42:59.000 For the last time, no!

01:43:02.000 Have you ever watched those old commercials?

01:43:04.000 What's the reference?

01:43:05.000 Have you ever watched those old commercials?

01:43:07.000 It's 10pm, do you know where your children are?

01:43:09.000 I watched them when I was a kid.

01:43:11.000 Watching back now, it's crazy.

01:43:13.000 It's like your parents just forgot you were there.

01:43:15.000 They needed a TV commercial to remind you.

01:43:17.000 To remind them that you existed.

01:43:19.000 And Home Alone.

01:43:19.000 That's weird.

01:43:20.000 And Home Alone.

01:43:21.000 Especially during the holidays.

01:43:22.000 Don't leave your kid at home.

01:43:24.000 Twice.

01:43:26.000 I mean, the best part is they come home in the first one and they just kind of leave immediately and go into the kitchen.

01:43:30.000 Wasn't the second one like he got on the wrong plane or something?

01:43:33.000 Yeah, he got on the wrong plane.

01:43:34.000 That's another one.

01:43:35.000 Pre-9-11 air travel where he's running into where you get on board and he knocks all the tickets out of the lady's hand.

01:43:45.000 They're like, boredom!

01:43:46.000 Just let him go! 1.00

01:43:47.000 Look, I've been saying I want to do this forever, but we just need a good producer because I'd love to make short films just mocking these movies because if you did Home Alone today, It would be so funny.

01:43:57.000 It would be like, you know, she gets on the plane, and then she goes, Kevin!

01:44:00.000 She freaks out.

01:44:01.000 The next scene is her being arrested with, like, child services coming and taking the kids away, all of them. 0.83

01:44:06.000 And she's crying, and they're like, disgusting.

01:44:09.000 That's just like, that's the end of the show, you know.

01:44:10.000 Also, don't forget here, if 9-11 would have happened, you know, Kevin would have been...

01:44:14.000 It would have been fine.

01:44:15.000 It's like Ryan Coogler is going to be bringing the X-Files back and I just laugh because it's like, I see an alien.

01:44:21.000 Click.

01:44:21.000 And then they just have the photo and he's like, oh.

01:44:24.000 Though you could write around that.

01:44:25.000 You could be like the alien has some type of like armor.

01:44:28.000 Every time.

01:44:29.000 That stops it from showing up on phones.

01:44:31.000 Well, no, but like X-Files.

01:44:32.000 X-Files was a bunch of different, it's an anthology, right?

01:44:35.000 It was a bunch of different things.

01:44:36.000 So it's like, the FBI guy goes, we have a report of a strange beast seen in, you know, Northern Virginia.

01:44:43.000 Don't go watch the Jersey Devil episode.

01:44:44.000 And we're gonna go check it out.

01:44:46.000 And then it's, the guy is like, every time he tries to film the monster, and then his phone, he drops it in the lake.

01:44:52.000 No!

01:44:52.000 The proof!

01:44:53.000 Then the next episode is like, there may be a, someone was found exsanguinated with two bite marks in their neck.

01:44:59.000 We think it might be a vampire.

01:45:01.000 And it's like, was there any photos?

01:45:02.000 No.

01:45:03.000 And then it shows the scene of the vampire getting the guy and the vampire bites the phone?

01:45:06.000 Dang it!

01:45:07.000 My phone!

01:45:08.000 Every time!

01:45:08.000 They solve it by somebody just realizing to upload to the cloud.

01:45:12.000 Default uploads.

01:45:13.000 Stream it.

01:45:14.000 Every single phenomenon also breaks your phone no matter what it is.

01:45:17.000 Yeah.

01:45:17.000 It's an alien.

01:45:17.000 Ship comes.

01:45:18.000 Your phone vaporizes.

01:45:19.000 The mummy has the ability to levitate cell phones.

01:45:23.000 You know, vampires emit electromagnetic pulses, which disable cameras.

01:45:26.000 I'm saying, like, a good writer could actually write around it.

01:45:29.000 The fact that, you know, the meme version of the show is like, I'm going to get it this time, and every time it gets knocked out of his hand.

01:45:36.000 You could never have a witness.

01:45:37.000 Nope.

01:45:38.000 Or you can just do a short modern version where it's like, hey, Scully, we got a report.

01:45:44.000 Someone was found exsanguinated with two bite marks in the neck.

01:45:47.000 Mulder, are you saying it's a vampire?

01:45:48.000 Yeah, there's a video of it.

01:45:49.000 Look.

01:45:51.000 Now with social media being what it was, people wouldn't believe it because they just think that it's faked somehow.

01:45:55.000 To be fair, that's actually how you ride around it.

01:45:59.000 So they have the video and they're like...

01:46:01.000 None of this is admissible.

01:46:02.000 None of it proves anything because it's probably just fake.

01:46:04.000 And they have to go and see for themselves.

01:46:06.000 Mulder's going to have to wear a body cam.

01:46:07.000 Are they bringing Mulder back?

01:46:09.000 I think that him and Scully will make appearances, but it'll likely be passing it off to new agents.

01:46:15.000 What about the smoking man?

01:46:16.000 Is he still alive?

01:46:17.000 I don't remember what happened.

01:46:18.000 Remember they brought it back in 2016, from 2016 to 2018.

01:46:23.000 He's still alive.

01:46:24.000 I'm going to buy a pack of Marvels.

01:46:25.000 That actor is still alive, William B. Davis.

01:46:28.000 All right.

01:46:33.000 Well, you did say we'd be eating oatmeal.

01:46:43.000 Yeah.

01:46:44.000 Corn.

01:46:46.000 I ordered some of Cousin T's gluten-free pancakes, and it's corn flour.

01:46:50.000 Yeah, that means you're going to have grits.

01:46:53.000 Sounds really good, actually.

01:46:54.000 Grits are great.

01:46:55.000 Sounds very good.

01:46:56.000 I've been putting cousin T's syrup on...

01:46:59.000 Look, I'm the dad, so I'm in charge of breakfast, which means waffles.

01:47:03.000 It's all I can make.

01:47:04.000 I mean, I could probably make something else, but I don't want to.

01:47:06.000 So I figured it out, though.

01:47:08.000 So what I'm doing is four eggs, lots of eggs, and then I'm just mixing up the grains that I use.

01:47:14.000 Almond flour, maybe some rice, maybe some kasva.

01:47:17.000 Different.

01:47:17.000 So it's not always the same thing.

01:47:19.000 It's just the same shape.

01:47:20.000 Not an omelet guy?

01:47:22.000 No.

01:47:22.000 No?

01:47:23.000 No, because you need some kind of grain or fiber.

01:47:25.000 You know what I mean?

01:47:25.000 So you do some almond.

01:47:27.000 We used chickpea flour the other day.

01:47:29.000 Lower carbs, higher protein, higher fiber.

01:47:32.000 It's great.

01:47:32.000 And then we just schlopped some Cousin T's blueberry syrup all over it.

01:47:36.000 I got chickpea pasta.

01:47:38.000 It's great.

01:47:39.000 It's good stuff.

01:47:40.000 Great.

01:47:40.000 Yeah, we actually deep-fried chicken and chickpea batter.

01:47:44.000 Super crispy and good.

01:47:45.000 Sounds good.

01:47:46.000 Yeah, absolutely amazing.

01:47:48.000 All right.

01:47:49.000 What have we here?

01:47:50.000 OMG Puppy says, Tim, if you have chickens, you can make gunpowder. 0.93

01:47:54.000 Look up Niterbeds? 1.00

01:47:56.000 Is that what that is?

01:47:57.000 From Chicken Poop?

01:47:59.000 Indeed.

01:48:01.000 So when the world ends, chickens will be the most valuable thing ever.

01:48:07.000 Phil Dude Bro says, if you need a shirt, go to Goodwill.

01:48:09.000 There is so much we can reuse.

01:48:11.000 Goodwill's so expensive now, though.

01:48:13.000 Yeah.

01:48:14.000 They've caught on to people, and there's resellers and stuff, and so...

01:48:17.000 Ever since...

01:48:18.000 The phone in your pocket, now they look up the price of everything on eBay, and half those Goodwills sell on eBay as well.

01:48:24.000 I remember when I was a teenager, I found a pair of $500 blue jeans at a thrift store.

01:48:29.000 What were they called?

01:48:30.000 Salvation Army.

01:48:31.000 I found a copy of Turtles in Time at a Goodwill.

01:48:34.000 Nice.

01:48:35.000 Interesting.

01:48:37.000 Let's see what we got here in the old Rumble Ranch.

01:48:43.000 Pecororod says, Dan P here.

01:48:45.000 Do you think we can get more America First congressmen in during the midterms and have them put into law many of Trump's executive orders?

01:48:52.000 Possible.

01:48:53.000 It all depends on the economy.

01:48:56.000 Yeah.

01:48:56.000 I don't know if I like our chances in the midterms right now.

01:48:59.000 Nope. 0.97

01:49:01.000 Shadow says, must read, skateboard that says be gay, use the left lane. 0.99

01:49:07.000 So the idea was, you know, the left has that meme, be gay, do crime. 0.98

01:49:12.000 Yep. 0.98

01:49:13.000 So I was like... 0.96

01:49:14.000 I'm going to make a skateboard that's just white with black bold letters saying, don't be gay, which is the inversion of that. 1.00

01:49:20.000 But obviously that's considered offensive.

01:49:23.000 And so my point is, how come they can make merch and sell it?

01:49:26.000 Nobody cares. 0.98

01:49:27.000 It says, be gay, do crime. 1.00

01:49:28.000 Even the conservatives are just like, whatever. 1.00

01:49:29.000 But if I were to make a skateboard that don't be gay, you'd know they'd lose their minds. 1.00

01:49:33.000 So then, you know, Andy was like, do both. 0.98

01:49:35.000 Make one that says, be gay. 0.99

01:49:36.000 And I was like, oh, give the people a choice. 0.98

01:49:38.000 You can only sell them as a pack.

01:49:40.000 You have to buy both.

01:49:42.000 That way everyone's...

01:49:43.000 We made it for everybody so now everybody will like us. 0.98

01:49:46.000 Yeah, it would be a black board with all white writing saying be gay.

01:49:49.000 And then I did a poll saying which board graphic should we make? 0.98

01:49:52.000 Don't be gay or be gay? 0.97

01:49:54.000 And obviously don't be gay wins. 0.99

01:49:56.000 But everyone agreed that we would sell out instantly.

01:49:59.000 If we met like a thousand of them, they just instantly would all sell out.

01:50:03.000 People would hang them on their walls.

01:50:04.000 Yeah, they would.

01:50:09.000 Maybe.

01:50:10.000 All right.

01:50:11.000 Pinochet says, they do understand that three out of five people would rather take out the establishment with violence as opposed to stand with the establishment in protest.

01:50:18.000 That's a question.

01:50:20.000 Well, I don't know what the far left would do.

01:50:22.000 They just hate Trump.

01:50:22.000 They hate the right.

01:50:24.000 All right.

01:50:25.000 Evan Freya says, what are y 'all's thoughts on the meme coins that were done by Trump for him and for Melania?

01:50:30.000 I largely don't care, so I don't talk about it.

01:50:33.000 I'm indifferent.

01:50:36.000 I would have avoided it.

01:50:38.000 Optics-wise.

01:50:39.000 I think I have some.

01:50:40.000 I don't buy merch for anybody ever.

01:50:42.000 I don't either.

01:50:43.000 I have some stock.

01:50:45.000 I have like 13 shares of Truth Social because I thought it was funny.

01:50:51.000 And then what the left does, because they lie, is they were acting like I had thousands of shares or I spent like hundreds of grand on Doge.

01:50:59.000 I was like, I'm sorry, not on Doge, on Truth Social.

01:51:01.000 I was like, it's like a hundred bucks.

01:51:02.000 It was like, oh boy, I can have like a little souvenir.

01:51:05.000 I'll buy it.

01:51:06.000 And they were like, ha ha, look, you're losing your money.

01:51:08.000 And I was like, bro, I lost like $20.

01:51:10.000 I lost $100 the moment I bought them.

01:51:12.000 It's worth nothing.

01:51:13.000 I don't know.

01:51:14.000 I bought like a dollar of Mudang coin when Mudang came out.

01:51:17.000 I'm down to like 43 cents.

01:51:19.000 I kind of wish that I got in early on Mudang coin.

01:51:23.000 Mudang coin.

01:51:26.000 Spike says, get bullets, gold, and canned tuna.

01:51:28.000 Same as the sword, jewel, and mirror.

01:51:30.000 When I was talking about setting up a shed.

01:51:34.000 I was largely thinking of having, like, generally books for production.

01:51:38.000 But, yeah, making, like, a sewing machine.

01:51:41.000 Probably a wood splitter.

01:51:43.000 You know, like, maybe, like, a gear-powered hand crank something.

01:51:46.000 So you just, you know, it spins and it goes back and forth.

01:51:49.000 You put the wood in and then it goes and splits it.

01:51:51.000 Gear ratios, man and pulleys, all that stuff.

01:51:53.000 And then probably a kiln.

01:51:56.000 You know, what is it?

01:51:59.000 A crucible.

01:52:00.000 Actually, we have a crucible and a kiln.

01:52:03.000 Yeah.

01:52:04.000 And then, you know, make stuff.

01:52:07.000 If things go under, I'm just going to be a criminal.

01:52:10.000 I have no viable skills other than stealing, so that's what I'm going to go with.

01:52:13.000 Trickery.

01:52:14.000 Criminal is way more dangerous than you think of that kind of situation.

01:52:18.000 Yeah, because in a social collapse, con man isn't a thing.

01:52:23.000 So it's basically barbarian or, you know, civil.

01:52:28.000 Just let me run with this idea and be done.

01:52:30.000 Quick.

01:52:31.000 Fair enough.

01:52:33.000 You're looking for the fast exit.

01:52:35.000 I see you.

01:52:36.000 If anybody's looking for a good show about the end of the world that they might not remember, it was called Jeremiah.

01:52:41.000 I think it was Showtime back in 2004.

01:52:43.000 Very, very good.

01:52:44.000 I recommend watching that one.

01:52:45.000 Better than The Last of Us.

01:52:46.000 What is Twisted Metal about?

01:52:50.000 It's basically like the collapse of society.

01:52:52.000 He moves stuff from one place to another.

01:52:54.000 He's like a courier.

01:52:56.000 Oh, it's not about people in a arena driving around?

01:52:58.000 No, there's going to be scenes in that in season two, but it has a plot.

01:53:03.000 And that's what I loved about it.

01:53:05.000 The shows or the games that are going to be successful are the ones that have limited story structure so Hollywood can't F them up.

01:53:12.000 The reason Sonic is so successful is because despite all of the Sonic lore that the weirdos online know about, the people that are going to go to the Sonic movie are the people like me who are millennials who you'll bring your kids or you'll go with your friends to go see Sonic.

01:53:26.000 The Knuckles show is okay too.

01:53:28.000 Yeah, it is funny how they tried to do realistic versions of things, thinking that would work, and then it doesn't.

01:53:34.000 It doesn't.

01:53:35.000 It doesn't work.

01:53:36.000 When are they doing Echo the Dolphin?

01:53:37.000 I asked that one.

01:53:39.000 I'd want that for the soundtrack alone.

01:53:41.000 It'd be like somehow have Echo the Dolphin and Free Willy show up together, but they'd have to make it all CGI.

01:53:47.000 That would suck.

01:53:48.000 Episode 3, Echo just drowns. 0.78

01:53:49.000 Yeah.

01:53:50.000 Isn't it kind of weird that they made that game?

01:53:53.000 They used to make games back in the day that made no sense.

01:53:56.000 You know, like ToeJam& Earl.

01:53:57.000 I bought it recently. 0.50

01:53:58.000 And then I found out it was part two, and I'm angry and I want to destroy it with a hammer.

01:54:02.000 Because, obviously, ToeJam& Earl 1 was a great game, where you're walking around, you get roller skates, and you go over the water.

01:54:08.000 Part two is like a weird platform.

01:54:09.000 It makes no sense.

01:54:10.000 I don't want to play that.

01:54:11.000 Games were awesome back then.

01:54:12.000 Yeah, I was...

01:54:13.000 So I went to...

01:54:14.000 There's a store in Winchester, Virginia, called Back to the Media.

01:54:18.000 Yep.

01:54:18.000 And it's great.

01:54:19.000 So I recommend them.

01:54:20.000 You guys check it out, because they got all the old stuff.

01:54:21.000 They got...

01:54:22.000 It's so expensive.

01:54:24.000 I know!

01:54:25.000 It's rare.

01:54:25.000 The only stuff that I have is like, I don't play modern games, I play retro games, and it's so damn expensive if you want to play retro games.

01:54:33.000 But I was there, and I was just looking at all of the different games, and then I'm just remembering, you know, these Gen Z and these Gen Alpha, they just don't know what they missed.

01:54:44.000 Because when we were growing up, you had, like, we had a rack with like 30 NES games in it.

01:54:51.000 And it was just like, what am I going to play now?

01:54:53.000 Wrecking Crew.

01:54:54.000 Remember Wrecking Crew?

01:54:55.000 It was like Mario with the sledgehammer and you got to break lockers or something and brick walls.

01:54:59.000 And now there's, like if you're Gen Z, you had one game, GTA 5, for 10 years.

01:55:06.000 It's the same game no matter what.

01:55:07.000 There's different online versions.

01:55:09.000 So it's no surprise that they all just played Minecraft.

01:55:11.000 And Minecraft, Fortnite, and GTA because no new games get made.

01:55:16.000 I can go back and play Streets of Rage and Streets of Rage 2 and still love it as much now.

01:55:21.000 I just miss the days when a game was released and the game was actually done when it was released.

01:55:27.000 Well, to be fair, that wasn't always true.

01:55:31.000 But what would happen is if the game got released and there was a bug or a glitch, it would become an exploit that players would learn about and use in the gameplay.

01:55:38.000 So like Mario 64, for instance, when you watch speedruns, when they do any percentage speedrun, They jump through walls.

01:55:46.000 They use the glitches as a skill component of the game.

01:55:51.000 In Smash Bros.

01:55:52.000 Melee, there was something called wave dashing, where, this is a fighting game for those that don't know, if you did an air dodge and hit the ground at the same time, you could do it so quickly you basically glide across the screen.

01:56:05.000 They went, oops, that was a mistake, so the next game that came out, they said, get rid of that.

01:56:09.000 We don't want that.

01:56:10.000 And it was a skill component of the game.

01:56:12.000 You didn't know how to do it.

01:56:13.000 So now games are all ruined with updates, because I remember, like, Destiny's a good example.

01:56:20.000 In Destiny, it's like a first-person shooter, and you have a vehicle called a Sparrow.

01:56:23.000 When the game first came out, you could ride, you could walk up to a wall, and then if you pulled out the Sparrow vehicle, like, it's a future, so it just, like, forms in front of you, you could go through the wall and explore, you know, zones you're not supposed to be in.

01:56:38.000 And then they went, oops, can't do that, you're banned, and we're patching this so you can never do it again.

01:56:43.000 And that's like, well, that was fun for a second.

01:56:45.000 Banning people over that is completely and totally...

01:56:47.000 Bro, World of Warcraft, the worst thing they ever did in World of Warcraft was make flying.

01:56:53.000 Big mistake.

01:56:54.000 And back in the OG days, 20 years ago now, you could glitch through walls and jump up and climb around and explore this whole world they made, and they'd ban you if you went into the wrong zones, and then they eventually updated the game so you can't do it anymore.

01:57:12.000 Whack.

01:57:13.000 Gen Z doesn't know what they've lost. 1.00

01:57:15.000 I still go play it.

01:57:16.000 I play my N64 all the time.

01:57:19.000 Isn't it amazing how, like, A Link to the Past is one of the best games ever made?

01:57:22.000 And they just don't...

01:57:23.000 Here's something I was thinking about.

01:57:26.000 A Link to the Past for SNES.

01:57:28.000 Super Mario World for SNES.

01:57:30.000 Those are great games with great formats.

01:57:33.000 They don't make games like that anymore.

01:57:35.000 No.

01:57:35.000 Obviously, they've tried remaking Mario.

01:57:37.000 Like, they've made platform Mario versions again because they realized people like it and they did Mario Maker.

01:57:43.000 Literally take the same graphics, the same 16-bit in the music, and make a new version and sell it.

01:57:50.000 Just because it's rudimentary technology doesn't mean the game isn't fun.

01:57:54.000 Like, chess is a thousand-year-old.

01:57:57.000 Chess is like 50,000-year-old technology.

01:57:59.000 It's little carved blocks.

01:58:00.000 And the game is, what, a thousand years old.

01:58:03.000 So, a game like A Link to the Past, this top-down view, and he's running around, and you swing your sword, and you hold it, and he spins.

01:58:10.000 Every time they make a game now, it's got to be this updated third-person 3D open-world version.

01:58:15.000 Old Castlevania. 0.53

01:58:17.000 Look at the new stupid Mario Kart, where it's like, why do I need an open-world in Mario Kart? 0.97

01:58:21.000 They did that? 0.99

01:58:22.000 Yes.

01:58:23.000 The new $80 switch to Mario Kart is open-world.

01:58:27.000 So you can just stop racing and go.

01:58:29.000 Get lost?

01:58:30.000 Yeah, they're out of ideas.

01:58:31.000 Actually, that sounds pretty fun.

01:58:33.000 You can just go for a drive through the mountains?

01:58:35.000 Yeah, but you can do it once and you're like, eh.

01:58:37.000 I kind of want to do that.

01:58:39.000 Can you even get the Switch 2 right now?

01:58:41.000 No, I don't think so.

01:58:42.000 It's like $500 and then the games are $80 now.

01:58:46.000 So if they took the exact same graphics and style of like A Link to the Past because the graphics were all that they needed to be.

01:58:56.000 They don't need to be any more than that for that game.

01:58:59.000 It's like a board game.

01:59:00.000 It's like a digital board game.

01:59:01.000 They could just be like here's the next adventure of Link and Hyrule and there's new dungeons and it's a new map with new quests.

01:59:08.000 I would buy every one of those.

01:59:10.000 Those are the games I would play.

01:59:12.000 I have no problem playing GTA or, you know, I like playing Trials.

01:59:15.000 Super good at, you know, Trials, Fusion, and Rising.

01:59:19.000 Those games are fun.

01:59:20.000 Make new levels.

01:59:21.000 Keep the same gameplay.

01:59:22.000 I'm totally fine with it.

01:59:23.000 But they stopped making games like Nintendo games, like the OG games, like Genesis.

01:59:29.000 They didn't need to stop those game formats.

01:59:31.000 That's what's weird.

01:59:33.000 I was the first kid on my block to have a Super Nintendo back in the day.

01:59:36.000 When it first came out, we couldn't afford a Nintendo, a regular NES, because I'm so old.

01:59:40.000 And we grew up in Baltimore, and they said, my parents told me.

01:59:43.000 When SNES comes out or whenever the next best thing comes out, we'll get it for you.

01:59:46.000 And I remember going to Macy's and getting it.

01:59:49.000 I remember when my dad rented SNES from Blockbuster.

01:59:52.000 Yeah, we rented a 64 before I ended up getting one.

01:59:55.000 I was basically that kid in that video, Nintendo 64. Didn't you have to put down like 50 bucks or something?

01:59:59.000 I don't know.

02:00:00.000 It was very little.

02:00:01.000 We had like a local, it wasn't a chain, but like a local rental store where you could rent an N64.

02:00:07.000 Those were a lot of core memories, like renting the whole console for the weekend.

02:00:11.000 And Mario...

02:00:12.000 I'm sorry, regular...

02:00:13.000 Sega Genesis, not Nintendo 64. So, it's also kind of crazy that Mario 3, epic game.

02:00:20.000 Always gonna be good.

02:00:21.000 Super Mario World, amazing.

02:00:23.000 Mario 64, amazing.

02:00:25.000 And after that, what do we got?

02:00:26.000 Nothing.

02:00:27.000 Like, on that system?

02:00:29.000 No, I just mean in terms of really great games that were surprisingly revolutionary and fantastic.

02:00:35.000 Like, what's the Mario where you've got the water pack?

02:00:38.000 It's like...

02:00:39.000 Super Mario Sunshine.

02:00:40.000 Sure, it's whatever, I guess.

02:00:42.000 Super Mario Sunshine.

02:00:42.000 The best thing to come out of that was, what's the song?

02:00:45.000 Gusty Gulch or something like that, that a lot of people use for weddings.

02:00:48.000 Oh.

02:00:49.000 Really?

02:00:50.000 Yeah.

02:00:51.000 Well, how about that?

02:00:53.000 When I'm not looking at plus-size park hoppers, I'm looking at nerd weddings. 1.00

02:00:59.000 TheRealHydra says, I buy a game and I find out it was part two.

02:01:02.000 Imagine that I was going to break it because I was so wrong.

02:01:05.000 I would say that if your cognitive capabilities are such limited that you don't understand what sarcasm is or hyperbole, then you, sir, need assistance in watching a show such as this.

02:01:18.000 Or maybe it's not the kind of show for you.

02:01:20.000 Or part two is, you know, part one for you and then you get the prequel.

02:01:23.000 It's a different game.

02:01:24.000 Have you played ToeJam& Earl?

02:01:26.000 It's been a long time.

02:01:27.000 You played that one?

02:01:28.000 You guys remember it?

02:01:29.000 I remember it, but I didn't play it.

02:01:30.000 Yeah, you're like walking around, and you get an elevator, goes to the next level, and then you get items, and it's just silly.

02:01:35.000 It's fun.

02:01:35.000 You know what the craziest thing about these games?

02:01:37.000 You can't play them on HD.

02:01:39.000 Yeah.

02:01:40.000 Oh, really?

02:01:40.000 Because the pixels are so big, you can't see anything.

02:01:45.000 It's so weird.

02:01:46.000 I play, like, anytime I play my Sega or my N64, I have a smaller, old TV to play it on.

02:01:53.000 My friends, we're going to go to that members only call in show.

02:01:56.000 So smash the like button, share the show with everyone, you know, word of mouth.

02:01:59.000 That's why that's what makes shows big, makes them big because everybody's like, dude, you got to watch.

02:02:03.000 You can follow me on X and Instagram at Tim cast.

02:02:05.000 That uncensored show will be at rumble.com slash Tim cast.

02:02:08.000 I R L. You got to be a rumble premium member.

02:02:11.000 Use promo code Tim one zero to watch.

02:02:13.000 Not so family friendly, but always fun and funny.

02:02:16.000 Uh, so it should be fun.

02:02:17.000 Tim, you want to shout anything out?

02:02:19.000 Yeah, go follow me at Tim Runs His Mouth.

02:02:21.000 That's kind of it.

02:02:22.000 I mean, you guys can go, oh, you know what?

02:02:23.000 I should do this.

02:02:24.000 I'm a CEO of a company.

02:02:25.000 Go get the Veebs app on your phones.

02:02:27.000 The Veebs app.

02:02:28.000 Make sure that you don't give money to companies that hate you.

02:02:31.000 You can go scan UPC codes when you go shopping, and it shows you just how conservative or liberal products are.

02:02:36.000 It's kind of fun.

02:02:37.000 Interesting.

02:02:38.000 Yeah.

02:02:38.000 Guys, if you want to follow me, I'm on Instagram and on Twix, at Brett Dastavik on both of those platforms.

02:02:44.000 But what you should do is watch Pop Culture Crisis.

02:02:46.000 We are live Monday through Friday, 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on YouTube.

02:02:50.000 Check us out there.

02:02:51.000 It's a lot of fun.

02:02:52.000 I am PhilThatRemains on Twix.

02:02:54.000 I'm PhilThatRemainsOfficial on Instagram.

02:02:56.000 The band is All That Remains.

02:02:57.000 Our new record dropped on January 31st.

02:02:59.000 It's called Anti-Fragile.

02:03:00.000 You can check it out on YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Deezer, you know, the internet.

02:03:05.000 And don't forget the left lanes for crime.

02:03:07.000 We will see you all over at rumble.com slash timcastirl in about 30 seconds.

02:03:11.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:04:20.000 Oh boy, it's the end of the world.

02:04:22.000 Check out this clip from Mark Zuckerberg talking about the world is ending.

02:04:25.000 Because we're not really an enterprise software company.

02:04:30.000 We're primarily building it for ourselves.

02:04:32.000 So again, we go kind of like for the specific goal.

02:04:37.000 We're not trying to build a general developer tool.

02:04:39.000 We're trying to build a coding agent and an AI research agent that basically advances Lama research specifically.

02:04:49.000 And it's like just fully kind of plugged into our tool chain.

02:04:53.000 And I think is going to end up being an important part of how this stuff gets done.

02:05:01.000 I would guess that sometime in the next 12 to 18 months, we'll reach the point where most of the code that's going towards these efforts is written by AI.

02:05:10.000 And I don't mean like autocomplete.

02:05:12.000 I mean, right today you have like...

02:05:13.000 You have kind of, you know, good autocomplete, like you start writing something and it can complete the kind of section of code.

02:05:19.000 I'm talking more like you give it a goal, it can run tests, right?

02:05:23.000 It can kind of improve things.

02:05:25.000 It can find issues.

02:05:27.000 It writes higher quality code than like the average very good person on the team already.

02:05:34.000 That's it, my friends.

02:05:36.000 Zuckerberg says in about a year or a little bit longer, all the code they're using is going to be written by AI.

02:05:43.000 We are going to be living in a world where...

02:05:45.000 I did this the other day.

02:05:46.000 I opened up ChatGPT and I said, program a video game where you have a character with a jetpack.

02:05:52.000 You have a fuel meter.

02:05:54.000 When you jump, he hovers.

02:05:55.000 You collect six keys. 0.98

02:05:57.000 Once you collect all the keys in each level, you can then shoot a gun, which kills the bad guys. 0.99

02:06:01.000 Done.

02:06:03.000 Took 30 seconds to make the game.

02:06:05.000 It's not animated, though.

02:06:07.000 So then what I did was I said, create a sprite map for the character.

02:06:10.000 For the main character, it generated the sprite map and then told me, save these in the same folder, hit run, and you will have that character as the sprite.

02:06:18.000 Easiest game I've ever made.

02:06:20.000 What about when, like, now that AI is going to start doing all of the programming, right, all the coding, what happens when you've got a whole generation of people and no one knows how to code because they've all been,

02:06:36.000 they've all allowed AI to do it?

02:06:39.000 And then something happens where the AI goes astray or whatever.

02:06:43.000 Language is lost.

02:06:43.000 What happens when I can't tell an unemployed journalist learn to code because AI is doing it?

02:06:50.000 It's a shame.

02:06:51.000 You say learn AI.

02:06:52.000 It's a tragedy.

02:06:55.000 I like that now with Zuckerberg and his purported glow-up, he has to put the glasses on when he wants to be serious.

02:07:02.000 Oh, that's a serious face?

02:07:03.000 He's got to put the glasses on.

02:07:05.000 If he's going to talk tech, he's got to put the glasses on.

02:07:07.000 Kind of like Rick Vaughn in Major League to throw the fastball.

02:07:11.000 He has to have the big thick glasses on.

02:07:14.000 He's gone through some hair changes too, right?

02:07:17.000 Has he always had that?

02:07:18.000 He's straightening it.

02:07:21.000 Can you imagine that?

02:07:22.000 That'd be hilarious if he straightened all his hair, just relax, constantly relaxer and stuff.

02:07:29.000 I'm not aware of any hairstyle changes.

02:07:32.000 I don't know.

02:07:33.000 I just think sometimes he looks more like Data and sometimes he doesn't.

02:07:36.000 Could you imagine working for Facebook right now? 1.00

02:07:39.000 You're a coder for Facebook and you're like, fuck. 1.00

02:07:41.000 So I'm not going to have a job in a year. 1.00

02:07:42.000 I've got a year.

02:07:43.000 Yeah, I've got a year.

02:07:45.000 And then you're going to be in the exit interview and they're going to be like, well, why weren't you planning ahead?

02:07:50.000 So I just told it, code an HTML5 game where you run and jump to...

02:07:53.000 Oh, it's running.

02:07:55.000 I can't even read it anymore.

02:07:56.000 It's done already.

02:07:58.000 I should probably just show this.

02:07:59.000 It's available right now.

02:08:01.000 Code an HTML5 game where you run and jump to collect keys of six different colors, and once you do, you can fly with a jetpack.

02:08:06.000 A fuel meter will slowly go down as you hover.

02:08:08.000 Every time you go off-screen to the right, the level advances one and displays it on the top right, and if you go left, it decreases by one and brings you to the previous level.

02:08:14.000 Arrow keys to move, Z and X to jump and attack.

02:08:18.000 It's writing, it's crazy.

02:08:23.000 The question is, will it work?

02:08:28.000 I bet it will.

02:08:31.000 I don't know.

02:08:33.000 I'm betting on AI here.

02:08:36.000 Alright, I need to load the HTML now.

02:08:39.000 What is this?

02:08:40.000 Refine and debug on the spot.

02:08:42.000 I don't care.

02:08:44.000 Alright.

02:08:45.000 What do we got here?

02:08:46.000 It says the HTML5 game is now coded.

02:08:50.000 Okay.

02:08:51.000 How do I open it?

02:08:53.000 It just says they did it.

02:08:55.000 It wants me to copy the code.

02:08:58.000 Let's see.

02:08:58.000 It wants me to actually paste it into a file and make the...

02:09:01.000 Are you kidding me, bro?

02:09:03.000 Just generate the HTML file for me.

02:09:08.000 Jeez.

02:09:09.000 That's so hard.

02:09:15.000 Working?

02:09:16.000 It's just analyzing.

02:09:17.000 This is how the reboot of War Games starts.

02:09:19.000 Yeah.

02:09:23.000 Let's see if it works.

02:09:25.000 I suppose I can just copy the code and paste it into an HTML file.

02:09:29.000 Well, that's what it asked you to do. 0.99

02:09:31.000 I know, but that's stupid. 0.99

02:09:34.000 You're arguing with your tech overlords now? 1.00

02:09:45.000 code.

02:09:47.000 Nope, it just gave it to me.

02:09:49.000 It says, download now.

02:09:50.000 A heck of a New York Post headline.

02:09:54.000 Russia threatens NATO with revenge nuclear strikes.

02:09:57.000 We don't care about that! 1.00

02:09:59.000 Make my game, damn it! 0.99

02:10:03.000 What could be more indicative of the times we live in? 0.99

02:10:06.000 Yeah.

02:10:08.000 Never mind the nukes.

02:10:11.000 Play the game.

02:10:12.000 Hey, look at this.

02:10:14.000 Doobie doobie doobie.

02:10:20.000 Doobie doobie.

02:10:20.000 He's got a little jetpack.

02:10:26.000 He's flying like crazy.

02:10:28.000 Let's go to the right.

02:10:30.000 Level one.

02:10:31.000 That's it.

02:10:32.000 That's the whole game.

02:10:33.000 But, yo, I'm using the arrow keys to move him around.

02:10:36.000 Get the keys and...

02:10:37.000 Okay.

02:10:41.000 Whoa, I'm going to have to tell him to turn that hover down.

02:10:43.000 He's gone.

02:10:46.000 Let's see how long he goes for if fuel hits zero.

02:10:49.000 Will the fuel regenerate when he lands on the ground?

02:10:52.000 Will he ever land on the ground?

02:10:54.000 He may not land on the ground.

02:10:58.000 Did he cease to exist because he went too high?

02:11:00.000 He's just gone.

02:11:03.000 He ran into one of those Bezos blue origin ships.

02:11:06.000 I was going to say he was going to spend more time in space than Katy Perry.

02:11:09.000 I'm holding down right, so he still exists.

02:11:13.000 He's just...

02:11:14.000 Got a long way to fall.

02:11:15.000 Levels are slowly going up.

02:11:17.000 So there you go!

02:11:18.000 Oh, he's back!

02:11:20.000 There you go.

02:11:21.000 Look at this.

02:11:22.000 What colors did it pick?

02:11:24.000 Let's see.

02:11:25.000 Roy G. Biff, right?

02:11:26.000 Did it pick the colors of the Infinity Stones?

02:11:29.000 It actually did.

02:11:31.000 Is that because there's no other colors?

02:11:33.000 I guess they could do pink. 0.99

02:11:36.000 There you go.

02:11:37.000 How fun is that?

02:11:38.000 Anyway, I guess Rush is going to nuke us, but who cares about that?

02:11:40.000 Yeah, we've got games to...

02:11:42.000 Have us in the meantime.

02:11:44.000 Games to get us through the end of the world.

02:11:47.000 You're just playing your little flash game as the nuke is about to hit.

02:11:52.000 No fall damage. 0.99

02:11:54.000 Frame rate is crap. 0.85

02:11:55.000 Hey! 0.99

02:11:56.000 You know?

02:11:56.000 That's a fun game.

02:11:58.000 I suppose I could make like an actual game.

02:12:01.000 You know?

02:12:01.000 Here.

02:12:01.000 Program Pong.

02:12:06.000 Make Pong.

02:12:07.000 That's easy, right?

02:12:09.000 Make Pong.

02:12:10.000 Make Pong.

02:12:14.000 It's going to be like, no, that's copyrighted.

02:12:16.000 You can't do that. 1.00

02:12:17.000 Son of a bitch. 1.00

02:12:19.000 Oh, you know what? 1.00

02:12:19.000 What's that game they got at... 1.00

02:12:21.000 What's the game you play at Cracker Barrel?

02:12:26.000 Oh, with all the golf tees.

02:12:30.000 Barrel Peg.

02:12:30.000 There you go.

02:12:32.000 Code the Barrel Peg Game in HTML5.

02:12:37.000 There you go.
