The White House was celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act today, and there were 12.4 million names over 120 years old. Some of them were even over 150 years old, so we're going to talk about that a little bit. Plus, we'll talk about how DC has moved into clearing homeless encampments, the Smithsonian is revamping all of their stuff in the Smithsonian, and SCOTUS has allowed age verification on social media pages.
00:03:36.000The White House was celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act today.
00:03:42.000They were focusing on the fact that they have passed a bunch of changes in the big beautiful bill.
00:03:46.000No tax on Social Security for seniors.
00:03:48.000They've removed something like 275,000 illegal aliens from the system, and there was 12.4 million names over 120 years old.
00:03:58.000Some, I think, were even over 150 years old.
00:04:01.000So we're going to talk about that a little bit.
00:04:03.000Newsom is still running the President Trump playbook.
00:04:06.000He's talking about changing the whole makeup of the House of Representatives, and it's going to change the presidency, and they're going to impeach Trump.
00:04:16.000And he's just running for president, so he's just trying to get eyes on himself.
00:04:19.000So we'll talk about Newsom a little bit more.
00:04:21.000DC has moved into clear homeless encampments, and we've got a bunch of information about that.
00:04:26.000The Smithsonian is revamping all of their, all of this stuff basically, in the Smithsonian, and it's sparked controversy with Jillian Michaels on CNN allegedly defending white people, something like that.
00:07:39.000Donald Trump was in the White House today talking about all of the wonderful things that he has been able to do for the Social Security system because the Social Security Act is 90 years old today.
00:09:15.000So you have 12.4 million names listed in the Social Security database that were over 120 years of age, meaning you were breaking records because I've never heard of anybody at 125.
00:09:30.000There were nearly 135,000 people listed who were over 160 years old and in some cases getting payments.
00:09:38.000So somebody's getting those payments and we're after that.
00:09:42.000So this is one of the benefits of the Big Beautiful Bill, apparently.
00:09:46.000He had the ability to take all these names off the Social Security rules.
00:09:50.000This is something that I can't imagine how Democrats will spin this to be a bad thing, but I think that they're likely going to try.
00:10:00.000But just like the crime in DC, it's one of those things where Democrats really, they can't.
00:10:07.000So do you guys figure that they're going to try and spin this as bad?
00:10:10.000Or do you think that they're going to just say that they're hurting people?
00:10:14.000Because that's the argument that I've heard in the past is, oh, they're taking Social Security from people that need it.
00:10:19.000They're going to say that Trump is lying.
00:10:22.000They're going to say he doesn't have proof.
00:10:24.000They're going to demand to see this list in the names and how much money they were receiving.
00:10:43.000Yeah, that should have been there and he mistaken them for an illegal immigrant and this poor lady and they're going to have, they're going to pay people to lie for them.
00:10:51.000I lost my Social Security after Trump made that statement, right before he made that statement.
00:11:01.000Is that going to fly with the American people?
00:11:02.000Because I think that this is one of those topics that Americans kind of know.
00:11:07.000Like if you pay attention to politics, they know that Social Security is insolvent and they know that generally it's nonpartisan to agree that Social Security fraud is bad.
00:11:16.000Yeah, I mean, I remember at the State of the Union address, Trump presented these findings for the first time.
00:11:21.000If I remember correctly, a few Democrats, you know, there was like in the State of the Union, it's all about who stands up and who doesn't for certain things, depending on what your constituents want.
00:11:28.000But I remember when he was reading off those numbers, a lot of Democrats were like, yeah, this is actually pretty bad.
00:11:37.000Yeah, I mean, I think those numbers are correct.
00:11:39.000Doge did a number on Social Security fraud and it was really extensive.
00:11:44.000And yeah, the American people, there's a real anxiety with younger Americans, especially that we're not even going to see our Social Security.
00:11:50.000So I think any attempt to shore up and guarantee that or squeeze out any longevity out of Social Security is going to go over really well.
00:11:57.000Well, I don't think young Americans, a lot of young Americans, especially this new generation, they're not thinking about Social Security right now.
00:12:06.000If you're talking about kids that are like 18 and up, you know, like 18 to 25, I know when I was 25, I wasn't thinking about Social Security.
00:12:35.000And if these were illegal immigrants collecting Social Security, how do we know that these were not some crooked Americans coming up with fake Social Security numbers collecting these fake checks?
00:13:00.000Oh, so they were not receiving benefits.
00:13:03.000According to like Al Jazeera and these terrible news sources, I apologize.
00:13:06.000Watching posts are saying, and folks are saying they were not actually receiving them, but the names are on the list, which they could have received them.
00:13:14.000Even Donald Trump, in this particular clip, he said that some of them were receiving checks.
00:13:19.000So there's 12.4 million names over 120 years old.
00:13:23.000Likely what that is, is it's just they haven't cleaned them up.
00:13:26.000So it's inefficiency, and it's not actually 12.4 million people that are committing fraud.
00:13:32.000How do we know that it's something that they actually haven't cleaned up because it's 120 years old?
00:13:37.000How do we know that there are not people in government making up that?
00:13:42.000Like, they found, like, I'm pretty sure someone that's working in government already knew this was going on.
00:13:48.000He said, wow, all these people collecting checks and they don't even know about it.
00:13:51.000And he checks, oh, well, maybe I'll start collecting this check of this person who died 100 years ago somehow funnel the money here or make up some stuff.
00:14:00.000I don't know, but I doubt that nobody knew about this.
00:14:22.000Even Donald Trump said that there were people that might be collecting the checks.
00:14:26.000And I think this is actually just cleaning up the rules because there's a significant difference between 275,000 illegals and 12.4 million names over 120, 20 years old.
00:14:39.000We do see identity theft all the time with social security numbers in which they have the social security death index.
00:14:44.000A name will go on there that they're dead.
00:14:46.000The social security number is cleared, but it takes a little while for that record to be formally updated.
00:14:50.000And then someone that's here that's illegally will take that number, use it for E-Verify, use it for something else, presumably in this case, Social Security benefits.
00:15:00.000So with the amount of illegal immigrants that are in this country, and there's a lot of really reputable organizations that estimate the numbers far higher than 12 million.
00:15:08.000I mean, a couple million illegals on Social Security is probably an undercount, if anything.
00:15:14.000I mean, there's probably a lot of them.
00:15:15.000Because think about the amount of people working using EE Verify.
00:15:31.000Like sometimes it'd be like a year out.
00:15:33.000So we wouldn't know that they'd be still be sending them their, you know, their food stamps or whatever, the MA medical for a year out until we were able to put them in the system and be like, hey, guys, this person is deceased.
00:15:43.000And all it takes is someone with power of attorney to cash a check for someone that's passed away.
00:15:47.000You know, if you, if you, if your family member passes away and they had given you power of attorney or you have to, even if you have the card, if you have the card, you could do whatever you want.
00:15:54.000You could just grab it and use it yourself.
00:16:45.000Yeah, I mean, Democrats have been on the wrong side of 80-20 issues for at least the past year and a half regularly, consistently.
00:16:53.000And a lot of it's driven by the fact that it's just Donald Trump that's bringing these issues up or that it's Republicans that are talking about them.
00:16:59.000And the Democrats seem to have this need to just oppose Donald Trump, regardless of whether or not it's something that the American people want, regardless of whether or not it's something that's good for them.
00:17:09.000They think that if I am opposing Donald Trump, this will play in my election.
00:17:15.000And it doesn't matter if it helps the American people.
00:17:18.000They've stopped representing Americans and they only represent people that want to oppose Donald Trump, even if it's detrimental to the American people.
00:17:26.000What do you guys think about it's going to be insolvent in 2034, 2035?
00:17:32.000And you're saying the young people, they don't care.
00:17:33.000You know, I mean, I didn't care also as a young kid because you have to pay your bills.
00:17:37.000Everyone wants to buy a house nowadays.
00:18:08.000Some people get an inheritance and they let it all go because it costs too much to keep it because they're going to get taxed for a death tax.
00:18:14.000And I mean, it's just, so a lot of young people, they don't care.
00:18:19.000They don't care, but they should care.
00:18:20.000They should care because they should care, though.
00:18:22.000What the federal government is going to do is they're just going to monetize that debt.
00:18:26.000They're going to just print money to pay the debt.
00:18:28.000And that's going, if you think the inflation in the past couple years has been bad, wait until they're trying to inflate away 50 trillion or 75 trillion because right now it's 37 trillion.
00:18:45.000And when they're trying to print enough money to cover that kind of debt, your dollars are going to be literal pennies.
00:18:51.000Well, you're already seeing in Europe what happens when you have massive debt and a declining population is all they're the only solution they've come up with is just import as many people from the third world as possible.
00:19:02.000And so if you are concerned about immigration, the level of immigration to the United States, you do have to balance the books at some point because there's no way around it.
00:19:09.000It's like they need a tax base if they want to support these massive social programs and social security.
00:19:15.000I mean, that'd be political suicide to advocate for abolishing or even like doing anything, really touching it in any way.
00:19:52.000There's boomers and Gen X. I don't think Gen X has started collecting Social Security yet, but even still, boomers are the ones that are on Social Security.
00:20:00.000Boomers are the ones that need Social Security.
00:20:03.000And even though they've paid in X amount of dollars, they're taking four or five times out what they actually paid in.
00:20:10.000But they'll swear up and down that this is money that I paid in and I deserve this, et cetera.
00:20:15.000So they, and again, they're the ones that vote.
00:20:20.000There are fewer millennials than there are Gen X. There are fewer Gen X than there are boomers.
00:20:24.000There are fewer Gen Z than there are millennials.
00:20:27.000So there's no tax base and they don't have the voting power.
00:20:30.000They don't have the political power at all.
00:20:33.000Like even if they all joined together and said, we're going to vote to fix this stuff, the boomers are, there's still enough boomers to say, no, you're not.
00:20:41.000We're going to vote for politicians that won't touch.
00:20:45.000They're like Gen Z and Gen Alpha combined.
00:21:19.000You know, yeah, like their concern is, you know, and a lot of them are in the Democrats hat, they do a good job at manipulating Gen Z. Okay.
00:21:29.000They have gotten a lot of them to hate Donald Trump for absolutely no reason they can't even explain to you.
00:21:35.000And most of them, their main concern, some of them is saving TikTok.
00:22:02.000Like, you need to be focused on your future, you know, about your social security and how you're going to be able to feed your children and even have a family and take care of a family.
00:22:14.000And we got to get the young people to understand that.
00:22:17.000Well, the thing with Gen Z is you have this generalized nihilism among the entire generation, which is why you see candidates like Zoran get massive support.
00:22:25.000And it's not even because Gen Z has a particular draw to like Marxism or that sort of thing.
00:22:30.000It's just Gen Zers are so nihilistic and so dissuaded with the system that they've gone radical either way.
00:22:36.000And there's really like being a, if you're a Gen Z and you're a centrist that's like cringe.
00:22:40.000Gen Z, when Gen Z thinks of someone like Mamdani, they're not thinking of, or when they talk about socialism or communism, right?
00:22:47.000They, they're not thinking of Lenin, Mao, and Stalin.
00:22:51.000They're thinking free health care and everyone should get healthcare.
00:22:57.000Yeah, they kind of think that's kind of true.
00:22:59.000And as much as it sounds nice, it's not even working in Canada because Canada has long, long waits for care and they have made medical assistance in dying and they're paying huge taxes.
00:23:14.000Yeah, they're paying over 50% of the city.
00:23:16.000Healthcare paying 53% of their income.
00:23:19.000But I mean, and there are a lot of Gen Z that are like, well, I would pay that if I had health care, if I didn't have to worry about it.
00:23:35.000But people that need health insurance are people that are older because they're the ones that are going to go to the doctor more often.
00:23:42.000And that's one of the things that if you're going to have a healthcare system, you should be able to say, look, I want an inexpensive plan to cover if I break my arm or my appendix needs to come out, something that's not likely going to happen and it doesn't cost them a ton of money.
00:23:59.000So that way they don't get huge bills should there be a big problem.
00:24:04.000But then that'll help pay for the people that do need care, that have chronic conditions that are, you know, whether they're young people with chronic conditions or they're older people who end up needing, you know, most of your, most of your healthcare cost in your life comes in the last five, 10 years.
00:24:17.000You know, that's, that's usually what happens.
00:24:20.000But that's not what they're hearing or what they're thinking about when they hear Zoran Mamdani talk or any other one like, you know, AOC or Bernie Sanders.
00:24:30.000They think, oh, the government should just take care of everybody.
00:24:48.000Yeah, they have no right to demand that the state take care of their health care, especially when we're $37 trillion in debt.
00:24:56.000So we should pay for everyone's health care when these people don't take care of themselves.
00:25:02.000And you can almost flip the issue where if you're a young person and you're looking at numbers like that, you're looking at a country where 75% of the people are sick, effectively.
00:25:11.000That's what being overweight obese is.
00:25:13.000Looking at a country that's racked up $70, $37 trillion in debt, looking at a country with like sky-high suicide rates, and they're looking at it and they're saying, why would I ever cast a vote that reinforces the system in any way, any meaningful way?
00:25:30.000I mean, right now they're using Democratic systems to use that, but there's no guarantee as things decline more and more that that will still be, there'll still be a civil, you know, option, a civil way out of this, a civil way to express the anger that people are feeling.
00:25:43.000So you're saying the future, the future is going to be healthy right-wingers versus fatty.
00:25:52.000But the Democrats thought it's free, free, free.
00:26:36.000People with that mindset, like, I don't want to, I don't want to just say that it's young people because it's not just young people that have that mindset.
00:26:43.000The people that have that mindset have no relation to what it takes to provide them with the food that they're going to eat.
00:26:53.000They have no idea how much work, how many human hours of work go into making sure that the Plumbing works in your building and in your city.
00:27:04.000I mean, I have a, you know, my place in New Hampshire, I got a well, and I have to pay a guy to come out if the well, if there's a problem with the well.
00:27:12.000In the in the city, in a municipality, you have to pay a little bit, you know, per month for your water, but everything costs something, like you were saying.
00:27:26.000I mean, I could go out in the woods and dig a hole, but that's an awful thing January 3rd at 6 in the morning, you know, especially in wintertime.
00:28:26.000Meanwhile, the Texas State House Democrats caucus set demands for Democratic lawmakers to return to the state, including ending the first special session of the Texas legislature aimed at passing redistricting efforts to benefit Republicans and for California to introduce redistricting maps to counter Texas.
00:28:42.000The Democrat lawmakers in Texas still are on the lamb.
00:28:47.000And I haven't heard anything as to if Ken Paxton is actually pushing to round these people up.
00:28:56.000I do think that the government, the DOJ, the federal DOJ, has offered its services or the FBI has offered services.
00:29:03.000I would like to see this, but I don't think that there's been anything developed about this.
00:29:09.000So Trump is also saying that he believes that Trump is planning to run in 2028.
00:29:14.000And this clip is actually really funny, but this is something that Donald Trump has been playing around with, you know, basically trolling the left because they're so reactionary that anything that Donald Trump says, they turn into, you know, such a massive deal and they run around like their hair's on fire.
00:29:30.000And Gavin Newsom is not immune to that.
00:29:35.000Well, I think it's pretty sick and pathetic.
00:29:37.000And it just said everything you need to know, the setting that we're under.
00:29:41.000That they chose the time, manner, and place to send their district director outside right when we're about to have this press conference.
00:29:49.000Said everything you know about Donald Trump's America.
00:30:56.000Yeah, yeah, it's like a total, it's like it's in paradise.
00:30:59.000I did recruiting for a little bit in Sacramento back in 2018.
00:31:03.000And even back in 2018, people were leaving freaking California to go to Texas and the other states because of their rules and their terrible policies for the free enterprising out of that state.
00:31:15.000And Gavin Newsom, and this guy's swarmy.
00:32:36.000To your point about the way that California has been run, it takes a really significantly badly run state to get people to leave a state like California because it's beautiful.
00:32:51.000The fact that it's so nice all the time in February, you can literally be standing in Lakewood and it's like 75 degrees, gorgeous out, and you can go, you can see the snow-capped mountains just half an hour, or 45 minutes, an hour away if there's no traffic.
00:33:09.000You can go snowboarding in the morning.
00:33:11.000And if you want, you could be on the beach by the evening.
00:33:13.000When you have a place that is that gorgeous, though, it is really, really, really tough to get people to leave.
00:33:21.000So to think of all of the people that have left California, because I think it's something like half a million or so people have left in the past since COVID.
00:34:03.000But anyways, it was, I can't imagine living there today and how kind of rules and regulations they have.
00:34:10.000And like they had a guy get shot on Thousand Oaks Boulevard, which is the super nicest, one of the best communities, was one of the safest next to Simi Valley in California just a couple years ago because he was protesting Israel and the whole thing and someone got murdered right on the street.
00:34:23.000It's just, I can't imagine how that would be back in the 2000s.
00:34:45.000I mean, if you had the same policies and, you know, like I used to live in Indiana, if you pass the same policies in Indiana, you'd have like 10 people left.
00:34:51.000People would get out of there so easily.
00:34:53.000Yeah, same thing with like the only reason that, I mean, I can't imagine that you could have the same policies in New England.
00:36:00.000But it would be sickening to live under a Gavin Newsome America, like rule.
00:36:07.000I mean, this guy would be, he would be how people are viewing, how some of these Democrats are viewing Donald Trump to be this dictator and this control freak and this crazy man.
00:36:29.000I think Shane called him a lizard before.
00:36:31.000Yeah, he's just really, because he's kind of old school in a weird way.
00:36:34.000Like he is this kind of old school, slimy, kind of Tammany hall politician.
00:36:39.000He'll just adopt whatever, because that's going to be his problem in 2028 is he has these marketing agencies that are behind him in his ear right now saying, hey, you need to LARP like you're this masculine, tough guy.
00:36:47.000And then he's going to get to 2028 and get that primary and realize the Democrat voters want someone that's trans, Puerto Rican, whatever.
00:36:55.000Do you think that he could win the nomination?
00:36:58.000I think that he, I don't think that he could win because he's a cis white male.
00:37:03.000Well, and right now, whatever marketing agency is in his ear, he's trying to win over like moderate Republicans, but you still have a primary to get through.
00:37:09.000If you're running in a general, that might actually work.
00:37:58.000How does the Democrats look at someone like Gavin Newsome and actually say, okay, we're going to put our, the base is going to get behind you.
00:38:07.000I can imagine the money getting behind him.
00:38:10.000I think that there's a big, there's a big, there's a big civil war going on in the Democrat Party between actually the woke, the very progressives, and the people like Newsome.
00:38:19.000And to Tate's point, he is going on Sean Ryan, trying to grab the Republicans that might not love Donald Trump.
00:38:27.000But I don't see how he wins a primary, especially if it's someone like AOC.
00:38:33.000And again, I know there are people that disagree with me.
00:38:36.000Last time I was here, we had this conversation.
00:38:39.000But I'm like, whether or not you like AOC's policies, which obviously I don't, like, I'm very much a free market guy and I want to deport a bunch of people and I'm far more conservative than or far more right-wing, I guess, than most of the people on the right, to be honest with you.
00:38:58.000But like, I don't see how someone like Gavin Newsom can get on stage with AOC and how the base would look at Gavin Newsom and say, I would rather vote for Gavin Newsom than for AOC.
00:40:03.000I mean, look, the problem in 2028 for Newsome is going to be like, think how angry Democrats are right now.
00:40:09.000I'll imagine after three years of Trump, they're going to want to go back and fight fire with fire, and they're going to pick the most radical option that the Democrat, the DNC will basically allow them to have.
00:40:18.000Do you think that would be someone like AOC or do you think there's someone that is actually more radical that could possibly take her place?
00:40:25.000I mean, there's even guys that no one's really talking about yet that are sniffing around, like Ruben Gallego.
00:40:29.000I mean, There's a chance that someone like him could raise a bunch of money because those guys, like guys like Ruben, like senators have connections.
00:40:36.000And to win a race in Arizona, you have to raise a lot of money.
00:40:40.000So, Ruben Gallego, he knows how to raise money, but he's progressive enough to please the radical left base, and he can still talk and cool down kind of the more established Democrats.
00:40:50.000Someone like Newsom's cooked because the base in 2028 is not going to want to moderate.
00:40:53.000I mean, think about how we were in 2016, and they're like, Here's Scott Walker and Jeb Bush.
00:40:57.000And we're like, No, we want the guy that's like calling him gay on stage.
00:41:09.000I can't remember the last time someone from Congress, from the House of Representatives, won the presidency.
00:41:16.000If you're a senator, you have far more influence with the money people.
00:41:22.000They tend to deal with those people more because, look, if you're looking to open some kind of big business or you want your business to be in a state, you don't go talk to the third district's congressional representative because it's small potatoes.
00:41:37.000But if you talk to the junior senator, even from a state, that's someone that can actually help you when it comes to getting legislation passed.
00:41:47.000They can act, especially if they, if they're on, depending on which committee they're on, of course.
00:42:32.000He, I think he's going to get embarrassed with his ballot measure in November because if you look at the polling right now, the Californian people, for what it's worth, you got to give them a dub every once in a while.
00:42:41.000They do really like their independent commission.
00:42:51.000So, like, come November, I think Gavin News.
00:42:53.000I don't even know if he's going to get this across the finish line.
00:42:55.000The only way he is, is he's going to be able to present this in like a really partisan way.
00:42:58.000But you're talking about further just redistricting.
00:43:00.000Further redistricting, but like by the time by November, like we're going to be in midterm season, like people are just Californians like their for what it's worth.
00:43:08.000They like their independent commission, even the Democrats.
00:43:10.000Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't imagine that there's going to be actual redistricting in California because I don't see them.
00:43:18.000I don't see the ballot and shit passing.
00:43:20.000Is Gavin Newsom allowed on this podcast?
00:45:39.000But I think Rokana could maybe appeal to the tech bro sector and win him back to the Democrats because I do think the nationalist MAGA base and the tech base, we've already seen tensions flare up a few times already in the Trump presidency.
00:50:06.000But we're going to jump to this story right now.
00:50:09.000From the Washington Post, D.C. clears homeless encampment near Kennedy Center.
00:50:14.000D.C. gave residents a day's notice to remove their belongings.
00:50:18.000The clearing comes as the Trump administration has vowed to crack down on homeless encampments in the city.
00:50:23.000Members of D.C.'s health and human services team began clearing in an encampment Thursday morning on a grassy no man's land near the Kennedy Center after giving residents a day's notice to remove their belongings.
00:50:35.000The clearing comes as the Trump administration has vowed to crack down on homeless encampments in the district and threatened to fine or arrest individuals who refuse to be removed or replaced in shelters.
00:50:45.000It also follows President Donald Trump declaring an emergency in the nation's capital earlier this weekend, putting the city's police department under federal control.
00:50:52.000He sent federal law enforcement agents on patrols in D.C. and deployed the National Guard to the city.
00:50:57.000D.C. police data shows violent crime after a historic spike in 2023 is down.
00:51:03.000This is a terrible, terrible position for the post to be taking because even Democrats, the talking heads, Joe Scarborough was talking to Mark Halperin today, and Joe Scarborough was talking about crime in D.C. and how the Democrats should not be getting behind this.
00:51:21.000He was mentioning how when Scarborough was in Congress in the 90s, the Republicans would say something and then Bill Clinton would cut their legs out from under him by saying, I agree with him.
00:51:34.000And then he'd say, well, this is what I think we should do.
00:51:36.000And then, of course, Clinton would fight with the Republicans the entire time.
00:51:40.000So it wouldn't be like Clinton was giving Republicans what they wanted, but he cut the wind out of all of their arguments by saying, oh, I agree with him.
00:52:06.000But like we were saying earlier, there are so many people now in the Democrat Party that look at Donald Trump and think their job is to do whatever Donald Trump doesn't want them to do.
00:52:16.000That's why they've come down on the wrong side of so many 80-20 issues.
00:52:25.000Thursday at the encampment, three people had already packed their belongings and scattered.
00:52:29.000Six more were busy wiping down their tents and folding tarps to meet at 10 a.m. deadline set by the district.
00:52:34.000Several residents say they had been at the encampment for months.
00:52:38.000It's a longer walk than it looks across the bridge to Virginia, said David Beattie, 67, who has lived in the camp for eight months.
00:52:44.000If I can get my stuff in storage, I'll do what I usually do.
00:52:47.000I have a broom in a dustpan and I walk around sweeping up.
00:52:51.000The district usually posts notices for clearings 14 days in advance and the site has not been on the district list for clearings.
00:52:57.000Rebecca Dooley, a spokesperson for the Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services, said the encampment's proximity to the highway qualified it for expedited removal, which requires only 24 hours' notice.
00:53:06.000Why does there require, why is there any notice required?
00:53:49.000And like what we're saying earlier in the article where, like, for whatever reason, you're speculating why the left is pushing back on this.
00:53:55.000It's actually kind of, I think it's clear is because the entire purpose of like modern left-wing Political thought is to demoralize patriots.
00:54:02.000And what is more demoralizing than walking around your nation's capital?
00:54:06.000And there's like, I mean, it looks like Bonnaroo.
00:54:09.000So, what's the most empowering thing you could do for a patriot is clean up his capital city, get the riffraff out, get the homeless out, make it really pretty.
00:54:16.000You know, Trump wants to reinvigorate our federal architecture.
00:54:22.000He's, you know, swapped out the official architecture style of our federal buildings.
00:54:27.000And so it's like, yeah, this is actually a huge threat to the left: Trump wants to empower patriots and actually make you feel good about your country and your capital again.
00:54:34.000So it's like, yeah, they actually can't concede this point.
00:55:44.000But there are a lot of boomer blacks who are happy about this.
00:55:49.000They're like, yes, because I'm tired of going to Walgreens and it's getting robbed when I'm trying to go pick up my medication.
00:55:57.000You know, I want to be able to walk to the bus station or take the bus without somebody on the bus with a gun and threatening to rob people.
00:56:06.000When you go into high crime areas and they poll the people in the high crime areas, all the time they're like, yes, we want more police.
00:56:13.000The people that want to defund the police, the people that don't want more police, they're always wealthy people that don't live in the high crime area.
00:56:36.000They have to live with the homeless people in the area.
00:56:38.000They have to live with, I mean, homeless people do crazy stuff because there's the Venn diagram of homeless people, mentally ill people, and drug users is almost a circle, right?
00:56:48.000Like homeless people and mental illness go hand in hand.
00:56:52.000Homeless people and drug use go hand in hand.
00:56:54.000There is a reason why they're homeless.
00:56:56.000And very rarely is it chronic homelessness.
00:57:00.000Not that there aren't people that fall on hard times, but chronic homelessness is almost always mental illness and drug use.
00:57:10.000So people that live in these areas, they don't want to open up their door like our guest last night, Adam, was saying, you know, you open up your door and there's a homeless guy sitting on your on your stoop.
00:57:59.000Like when you see people that advocate really heavily for like the homeless or they're like really concerned about mental health issues or they're really upset about ICE raids, they're typically really dysgenic looking.
00:58:09.000And it's because a dysgenic soul will like present itself, it manifests itself physically and it's also manifesting itself in their politics.
00:58:17.000They're voting for the most dysgenic, disgusting policies.
00:58:22.000And when you see stuff like homeless people sitting next to these beautiful monuments that were built hundreds of years ago, that's just an F you to beauty.
00:59:50.000I found that people on the lower end of the MCM scale are the best at exploiting government programs, like masterful.
00:59:58.000I used to like, I've had a few jobs where you interact with a lot of people that just scam for a living.
01:00:02.000And it's like when they explain to me the procedures and protocols of how they like hack these government systems, I'm like, I couldn't ever occur.
01:00:09.000Like you're a genius in the realm of scamming.
01:00:12.000It's like, how do we, how do we funnel these scammers into like entirely right now?
01:03:14.000All right, we're going to jump to this story here.
01:03:15.000And one of the parts or one of the mentionable things about this story is the way that Huffington Post framed it and the headline they use.
01:03:25.000MAGA biggest loser star has meltdown defending white people during CNN slavery talk.
01:03:31.000Every single thing is like, oh, no, no, no, this is all because white people bad.
01:04:08.000We framed that this person, you're supposed to dislike what this person says.
01:04:14.000Biggest loser coach and Donald Trump supporter Jillian Michaels had a stunning meltdown Wednesday night while defending white people during a fiery debate about the president's efforts to rewrite U.S. history.
01:04:25.000This is in context of just an overall redoing of the way that things with the Smithsonian are framed.
01:04:35.000And this is something that Donald Trump has talked about, and he ran on this.
01:04:38.000The framing of history so that way the United States is a villain in the United States is going to end and it should end, right?
01:04:48.000There are plenty of places around the world that hate the United States, right?
01:04:52.000And there are definitely ways that you can frame arguments to make the United States look bad.
01:04:58.000But the United States, the American people, should not be funding things that make America out to be the villain of every story.
01:06:11.000What I'm trying to tell you is in the context of American history.
01:06:15.000In the context of American history, what are you saying is incorrect by saying that it was white people oppressing every single thing is like, oh, no, no, no, this is all because white people bad.
01:06:29.000Like, for example, every single exhibit, I have a list of every single one.
01:06:34.000Like, people migrated from Cuba because white people bad.
01:06:40.000So, and to her point, we're going to bring up something from the Smithsonian.
01:06:44.000Now, a lot of people may remember this, but this is a talking point paper or I don't know if it's a pamphlet or whatever, distributed by the Smithsonian, right?
01:06:59.000About whiteness and white culture and the things that they were telling, you know, telling people that were going to the Smithsonian, things that were considered bad.
01:07:08.000Rugged individualism, family structure, emphasis on scientific method, Protestant work ethic, religion, Christianity is the norm.
01:07:19.000Anything other than Judeo-Christian tradition is foreign, no tolerance for deviation from single God concept.
01:07:25.000That is traditionally the way that, you know, not just white people, but white and black people in America.
01:07:31.000I mean, there's a lot of southern badness that are black, right?
01:11:32.000If I was trying to build a country and I didn't have help and I didn't have people wanting to help me and I'm fighting some people or I know some people are for there are some slaves that's for sale.
01:11:44.000I'm buying some slaves to help me build my damn country.
01:11:49.000Like America need they needed slaves at the time because they could not, they uh they were not able to slave the Native Americans because the Native Americans they knew the land when they would run away.
01:12:03.000The Europeans don't know where to find them.
01:12:05.000They don't know where to find uh Mr. Running with the wolves.
01:12:11.000And a lot of them, and people don't know this too.
01:12:13.000You know, I'm from Oklahoma, so we learn a lot about the Native Americans there, you know, because it's the trailer to the whole trail of tears.
01:12:19.000But anyways, a lot of the native males did not do crop work.
01:12:24.000They did not do the job, which women did all the gardening and the crop.
01:13:40.000I'm trying to, yeah, if y'all don't know, people, if you're just coming in, my name is Terrence K. Williams.
01:13:46.000I'm trying to find out if somehow I have an ancestor that used to own slaves because it could be some money out there for me right now, some inheritance or something.
01:13:58.000Because there were black slave owners.
01:14:00.000I could come from a black slave owner.
01:14:02.000I don't know because I grew up in foster care.
01:14:04.000So I don't know all my family history.
01:14:07.000But there's a possibility that my great, great, great, great, great, great-grandpapping owned some slaves and I got some inheritance out there somewhere waiting on me.
01:14:15.000So if I look like any old black slave owner that you know of, please let me know.
01:17:08.000And in Brazil, it's about 110 million out of 4.8 million.
01:17:12.000So you can see the devastation and the amount of death and churn.
01:17:16.000Because in Brazil, unfortunately, they would like, there's a lot of castration involved.
01:17:19.000And they would just, they didn't view them as like an investment.
01:17:22.000It was literally just like work until you die.
01:17:25.000And in America, it was, it was, I'm just not justifying it, but it's just to like blame America and hold us as like the purest form of evil.
01:17:33.000And then you can look on the same hemisphere and see like barbarism that would, I mean, you won't even be able to sleep reading about if I could go back and change time, I would, I wouldn't change anything.
01:17:42.000I don't care if people don't like it, they don't love how the founding fathers built this country, but everything they did led to this being the greatest country in the world, okay?
01:18:23.000These are a lot of black adventurers and rugged individuals who went and adventured and explored the world.
01:18:29.000Like white people are not the only effing people in the whole history of our country to go out there and explore things and to find things and to make themselves better and make their family better and live out life and just do things.
01:18:43.000It just, it's real marked on the race of black people like, oh, you guys never did anything.
01:18:49.000You guys just sat down on your hands all days and you didn't actually go out in the land.
01:18:53.000One of the things that's worth noting here, right, is the Protestant work ethic.
01:18:57.000And I think that there's that is one of the main reasons why the United States is what it is and why the U.S. has been so successful.
01:19:07.000You see the way that the Protestant work ethic has affected the United States versus all of the, and I know that there are going to be some people that are going to be upset about this, but all the Catholics in South America.
01:19:19.000There's a lot of, like, all of the, all of South America, it was heavily influenced by the Catholics because Spain, Spain, and Portugal had the Catholics, you know, that kind of influence because they were, that's where those colonies were.
01:20:02.000And it has, and whether or not people like it, it has nothing to do with being white because you see a similar work ethic with the Japanese and the Chinese.
01:20:46.000And that's one of the things that will destroy our society is a rejection of things like hard work, saying that that, thinking that that is not important.
01:20:57.000The idea that you can, you don't have to do, you don't work now, you can put it off.
01:21:01.000That's one of the things that built our country.
01:21:04.000And that's one of the things that you see younger generations getting away from.
01:21:38.000If you're not doing nothing at all, just sitting at home, partying, smoking, drinking, go get a job, work, do something.
01:21:46.000And then they say, well, we shouldn't even really have to work to have water and electricity when you should, when God made light, so why do we got to pay for light?
01:23:39.000That's what I hate most about this modern iteration of American culture is we've lost that sense of, I think it's the most beautiful description of Americans is that we're like temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
01:24:17.000And then there was a big shakeup in the early 20th century.
01:24:19.000Well, and not only that, then you had the Great Depression, which is not just in the U.S., although the U.S. had its fair share of suffering because of it.
01:24:27.000But those generations that lived through that stuff lived through real hardship.
01:24:32.000And then after that, there hasn't been significant hardship on the same level since.
01:24:38.000So the boomers didn't have to deal with it.
01:24:40.000My generation didn't have to deal with significant hardship.
01:24:43.000And then millennials and Gen Z haven't had to.
01:24:46.000So there's been no actual contact with what human history was like prior to, say, World War II, right?
01:26:04.000And there were government policies that made it worse.
01:26:07.000Here, like, all of these things that basically reminded society or reminded of people what real human life has been like up until basically 1950.
01:26:21.000None of the generations since have had to actually in the West have had to interact with that at all.
01:26:26.000Human existence has been a slog through mud and suffering and death up until about 1950.
01:26:35.000And so now we have a society of people, boomers included, that haven't had to deal with real adversity.
01:26:42.000There are a select few people that have had to deal with hard things in their lives, and most of them have had to go overseas to deal with it.
01:26:53.000I mean, to be honest with you, like the whole, you know, hard men or soft men create hard times.
01:26:59.000It's likely that we're in, you know, in the soft men part creating hard times.
01:27:03.000Yeah, well, when you feminize a society, you insulate it from any hardship.
01:27:07.000I mean, part of the reason you had these massive events taking place before the post, the post-world order, was because men were risk takers and we'd restructure our societies and make gambles with our societies in ways that you don't see now, where now it's as careful and calculated as possible.
01:27:21.000So, okay, I mean, yes, there was obviously these massive blow-ups, the World Wars being great examples, but most of these mass, these mass, like these, these hardship events that we're referring to were just an outcome of societies that took risks and pushed the envelope forward.
01:27:37.000And you don't get this 300, 400 years of development that we've saw, you know, post-Enlightenment, really, without societies at large taking massive gambles.
01:27:52.000We're going to jump to this last story here to wrap up this.
01:27:56.000From the AP, Supreme Court allows Mississippi to require age verification on social media like Facebook and X. The Supreme Court on Thursday refused for now to block enforcement of a Mississippi law aimed at regulating the use of social media by children, an issue of growing national concern.
01:28:16.000The justices rejected an emergency appeal from a tech industry group representing major platforms like Facebook's Facebook, X, and YouTube.
01:28:24.000NetChoice is challenging laws passed in Mississippi and other states that require social media users to verify their ages and ask the court to keep the measure on hold while a lawsuit plays out.
01:28:35.000There were no noted dissents from the brief, unsigned order.
01:28:38.000Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote that there is a good chance NetChoice will eventually succeed in showing that the law is unconstitutional, but hadn't shown it must be blocked while the lawsuit unfolds.
01:28:48.000NetChoice argues that the Mississippi law threatens privacy rights and unconstitutionally restricts the free expression of users of all ages.
01:28:56.000A federal judge agreed and prevented the 2024 law from taking effect, but a three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in July that the law could be enforced while the lawsuit proceeds.
01:29:07.000It's the latest legal development as court challenges play out against similar laws in states across the country.
01:29:13.000Parents and even some teenagers are growing increasingly concerned about the effects of social media use on young people.
01:29:18.000Supporters of the new laws have said they are needed to help curb the explosive use of social media among young people.
01:29:24.000And what researchers say is an increased, an associated increase in depression and anxiety.
01:29:29.000So do you guys think that this would be a legitimate law that should pass or do you think that it's a bridge too far?
01:29:36.000My initial gut instinct is kids shouldn't be on social media.
01:30:14.000I mean, he's been hustling on YouTube since he was like probably three, selling toys and playing with toys and have millions of followers.
01:30:24.000So I mean, I think if I think kids can have one if their parents, if it's under their parents, if their parents, if the parents are managing their accounts, you know, I don't think it's any, if the parents need to be managing the accounts, but I don't think it's, I don't think it's, I mean, I'm not against kids not using the internet.
01:30:41.000I don't think they should be on there.
01:30:47.000And people are allowed to post porn on X. Elon has not banned porn on X. It is freedom of speech on there.
01:30:56.000You know, so if, so anybody can get on there, 13, 12, five years old, believe it or not, five-year-olds know how to get on the internet.
01:31:07.000They can get on and watch whatever they want.
01:31:10.000And they shouldn't be able to do that if it's porn, if it's porn on there that you can watch without an age.
01:31:16.000There's also the argument that if you have to have some kind of age verification, it does away with anonymity.
01:31:23.000And now, whether or not you think it's a good thing to do away with anonymity, it does prevent people from making ghost accounts or making bot accounts.
01:31:34.000You have, you can, it is likely that you could assume that accounts are actually people in the future if there has to be age verification, or at least you'd know, or there would be some way to know.
01:31:48.000And I personally think that that's a good thing too.
01:31:50.000Now, again, I'm not saying that there should be legislation that people have to, you know, that I don't think the government needs, must get involved.
01:31:57.000And I'm not sure that the means to do it without.
01:32:01.000But I do think that in the future, if we're talking about dead internet theory all the time and we're concerned with whether or not accounts that are on the internet are actually people, this might be a way to make sure that they are people.
01:32:15.000Well, I'm very skeptical of age verification because like something people don't understand is everyone's getting really excited about Gen Z swinging to the right, especially Gen Z men.
01:32:25.000Well, if they didn't have internet access and anon accounts, that's not happening.
01:32:29.000That's going to be just another Democrat generation, just like the millennials.
01:32:32.000So it's like, I understand the motive.
01:32:35.000I'm not saying people, especially in Mississippi, because Mississippi is a great state.
01:32:39.000I'm not speculating these people of malicious intent.
01:32:41.000I think they actually are trying to look out for children.
01:32:43.000But you need to understand that access to information when you're a teenager is what is creating such a right-wing reaction among young people.
01:32:51.000That matriculation does not occur because they're just going to be exposed to what they see at public school.
01:32:56.000Well, it's balanced between like the anons who want to go and turn right compared to the government overreach.
01:33:04.000To your point, are social media sites the same thing in your estimation as sites like 4chan?
01:33:12.000Because the phenomenon you're talking about got its start on.
01:33:16.000You got to start at 4chan, but the average Zoomer right-winger, he saw a bass edit on Instagram and then he's like, I want that.
01:33:53.000Like the verification would take place during apps because it needs to be an established LLC that can process ID verification or contract someone that can process the ID verification.
01:34:01.000Yeah, I mean, I guess some people might think that it is an invade of privacy.
01:34:05.000You might have some people who want to make an account.
01:34:07.000They want to dunk on people and say crazy stuff.
01:34:10.000And then, you know, they may not want their identity.
01:34:12.000They may not want X or Facebook to know their identity.
01:34:44.000So if an account is actually posting porn, nudes, videos, maybe there is a way for X or Facebook to have a, I don't know, well, they may not, people may not like that, an age verification if you want to view a page that's full of nudity.
01:35:04.000Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I mean, you know, some people may say, oh, no, I don't want to watch it.
01:35:10.000Then that means you are watching that page then.
01:35:13.000Because if you're not watching that, then you don't care.
01:35:17.000So we know who cares if they're against that.
01:35:21.000But I would not be opposed to that at all, you know?
01:35:24.000And that means allowing the youth to be on the internet by marketing.
01:35:29.000Now, don't be marketing political pages for if you want to view Tim Poole's page, you got to show age verification because he said, because he's full of conspiracy theories.
01:35:51.000The other thing, I mean, there's so much at play here.
01:35:54.000Like, keeping an anonymity on the internet is essential.
01:35:58.000Because, like, for example, people are so thankful that this is the most conservative presidential administration we've seen in a long, I mean, certainly in the modern era.
01:36:05.000And you have to credit that to Twitter anons because you'll see a discussion happen on Twitter.
01:36:10.000There'll be an argument, you know, whatever.
01:36:13.000And there's movers and shakers watching that.
01:36:14.000And then three months later, the Trump administration, you start hearing talks that there's officials that are entertaining these ideas.
01:36:20.000Like the federalization of DC, this was being argued on Twitter about three months ago by people with anon accounts and goofy profile pictures.
01:36:27.000So it's like, it's people that have really nice, these are smart guys that have well-paying jobs and families that can't risk getting, you know, their lives destroyed.
01:37:06.000This is just something that I think is a reality nowadays.
01:37:09.000I think the idea of internet privacy is actually gone.
01:37:14.000I think that people like to talk about it and they like to think that they have privacy, but then they pump all their information into Instagram, pump all their, every, they pump in all that you need to know to actually find out who they are.
01:37:30.000Shia LaBeouf got found in the middle of nowhere because of contrails when he took a picture of a flag.
01:37:53.000So the idea of privacy, if you're taking pictures of anything, anything at all, I saw one, I saw one of those a video of some dude that figured out where a woman was because she took a picture of grass.
01:38:09.000Oh, yeah, it was a rainbow, I think is his name?
01:38:11.000Rainbow, and he can like find anything, anywhere, anything.
01:38:14.000And you lick like a poll and go out there and get the DNA test.
01:38:17.000He'll find out exactly where I saw there were people on 4chan that were helping call in strikes on Russians.
01:38:24.000So as much as people like to say, and anonymity is important to me, you're only anonymous if people don't care.
01:38:34.000If people care, they're going there, and you put picture, if you don't do anything except for use one account that never puts up pictures from the real world, maybe.
01:38:46.000But most people don't have that kind of privacy.
01:38:50.000And also the Intel community has relationships with journalists.
01:38:55.000And that's how a lot of these anons get doxxed is the intelligence agencies will pass along the information to a journalist and then the journalists will come up with a way of how they like they geniusly they broke it.
01:39:06.000I think this happened to Rawlag Nationalist.
01:39:07.000And yeah, so it's like, like, it is important to have anonymity and whatnot.
01:39:12.000But if you really are a big threat, you know, the intonation is pass it along to a journal.
01:39:18.000And to be honest with you, considering the fact that AI is still in its infancy, like once AI gets to a certain level of ability, once you get an AI that can really do digging, it doesn't take, you know, the autist on 4chan anymore.
01:39:36.000They'll literally feed in two pictures from this account, say, where's this account from?
01:39:42.000I definitely understand why people are annoyed with the Anons because it's like, okay, the world I'm in that I'm plugged into is like, there's a lot of these guys that seem like well-meaning and they're smart and they have a lot of fun.
01:40:40.000So, so, so for the kids, I don't know how to, I don't have a fixed situation, but I kids, you know, a young kid, six years old, having his toy thing is whatever it is.
01:41:31.000It just seems like outsourcing this to the state seems a bit redundant.
01:41:34.000And then also, like I said, I don't trust the motive behind it because I think a large, and I think this was a big part of the TikTok ban is they're trying, there's a huge containment breach of ideas, right?
01:41:42.000People don't want to vote for Mitt Romney anymore.
01:41:44.000And they have to figure out a way to shove everyone back into a box.
01:41:46.000And a big part of that is limiting online discourse.
01:41:49.000And a lot of teenagers, I mean, it's really bad for children to be on the internet.
01:41:52.000But a lot of teenagers, 16, 17, that's when you start being exposed to like conservative thought.
01:41:56.000That's when you start seeing turning point events.
01:42:45.000But go on over to Timcast.com, become a member of the Discord, and then go on over to Rumble and become a member of rumble.com so you can join the after show.
01:42:53.000But right now, we're going to go to your super chats and we're going to start off with the homie Shane H. Wilder.
01:43:00.000Shane H. Wilder says tomorrow at 10 a.m., the Texas House will end the special session and then immediately gavel a new special session.
01:43:08.000If any Dems return, they'll be taken to the House and locked in to have a quorum.
01:43:13.000I don't imagine there will be a significant number of Texas state Democratic representatives that are going to show up for work tomorrow.
01:43:23.000Yeah, I mean, they're threatening checks.
01:43:25.000And, you know, a lot of these Texas, well, just state reps in general actually don't make very much money.
01:43:30.000And a lot of them do depend on those checks.
01:43:32.000So dangling the checks over there actually might draw a good amount of them back.
01:43:36.000And it already is drawing a good amount of them back.
01:43:39.000I've been busy doing some stuff blue-collar stuff.
01:44:13.000And a bunch of them, you got some of them that are black, the black ones, they really gonna run it up.
01:44:18.000I mean, they're gonna get so many donations, it's gonna be crazy.
01:44:20.000Do you know, do you know any of the Democrats, the Texas Democrats that have fled?
01:44:25.000And if you do, do you think they're talented enough to capitalize on the attention?
01:44:30.000Absolutely, they need something, they're desperate for something.
01:44:33.000No, no, but do you think they're talented enough to capitalize on it?
01:44:37.000Obviously, it will get them attention, but will they be able to use, are they politically talented enough to take that attention and turn it into something meaningful that will take them out of only Texas politics and put them onto the national stage?
01:44:50.000And will they have staying powers like a certain person, maybe or two?
01:44:54.000Yeah, um, yeah, I think I think some of them are talented enough to do that.
01:44:59.000That is what they've been doing for a very long time: turning nothing into something.
01:45:05.000You know, they know how to do that, they know how to do that.
01:45:09.000And CNN and MSNBC are going to help them.
01:45:19.000I don't know of any, I don't know the names in particular, but this would be an opportunity where that if they are politically savvy, they could turn it into a national.
01:45:31.000They all want a Trump moment, they all want to be arrested because you know, they thought it would hurt Trump and it helped them.
01:45:37.000But now they all, but the point that I'm making is you can't like just getting onto the stage doesn't mean you perform well.
01:45:46.000Yeah, like so, I had this experience in my in my career as a musician.
01:45:51.000We wanted to get on this one big tour called OzFest, and we had the opportunity, and our agent was like, Don't do it.
01:45:59.000And I was like, What the heck are you talking about?
01:46:02.000Because I was like, You do OzFest, and that means you are a big band after that.
01:46:07.000But with the year that we got the first offer, we didn't have a new product to sell.
01:46:13.000So, what we what our agent said is, go back into the studio, do your next record, your label.
01:46:20.000He's like, I'll bet you get an offer next year.
01:46:23.000You got to trust me, but your label will then have a new record to promote, et cetera.
01:46:28.000And it was, and I was like, All right, this seems like a terrible idea to me because I didn't understand, but we got the opportunity the next year, we did it, and we had all of our ducks in a row to capitalize on the attention that we got.
01:46:42.000I don't know if the Democrats have any people that can capitalize on that kind of attention.
01:47:10.000Like, they want to be arrested because, yeah, they want to be arrested because then it's going to, in their minds, is going to prove their point that the Republican Party is a dangerous party and they want to arrest their, they are dictators who want to jail and threaten their opponents.
01:47:28.000Like, it's, yeah, it's great marketing.
01:47:32.000You can raise a lot of money by being Trump's enemies.
01:49:01.000So, I mean, look, he's decided to bow out when he still sounds great, when he still performs great.
01:49:07.000So that way everybody remembers Megadeth when they were firing on all cylinders.
01:49:12.000I wish that, you know, I wish that time didn't do what time does, but, you know, I don't think that you can have a more illustrious career.
01:49:21.000Or there are only a handful of bands that have had a more illustrious career than Megadeth.
01:49:26.000And there are very few people that have had the impact on heavy metal that Dave Mustaine has had.
01:49:32.000I mean, the guy wrote some of the best songs that Metallica plays, right?
01:49:36.000Like some of the stuff off Kill Them All and a bunch of things off of Ride the Lightning.
01:51:26.000Ladytight says, I've said this many times, but boomers and Gen X have single-handedly ruined this country by letting politicians get away with everything and hoarding all the country's wealth and breeding Nepo babies.
01:52:00.000Yeah, obstructing the necessary cuts and stuff.
01:52:03.000So it is legitimate to say that the Boomers did that.
01:52:08.000I'm not sure if the Boomers did, you know, made all the problems, though, because it's been coming for a long time.
01:52:16.000I personally think that when you took the dollar off the gold standard, you know, and allowed for the government to just print up as much money regardless of how much gold was out there.
01:52:29.000So the Federal Reserve is actually the fundamental problem because that's where, you know, and that goes all the way back to 1913.
01:52:38.000Let's keep this generation going here.
01:52:41.000And I'll take the blame for not paying attention to politics as a Gen X or last year, Gen Xer, because life was so good in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
01:52:52.000I didn't know how bad it was until it got bad.
01:52:54.000Micah.Johnson says, Gen Z here, I'm far past worrying about Social Security.
01:52:59.000I've given up all hope of ever seeing a cent to the point it doesn't even cross my mind.
01:53:04.000If you're married, live on one income and save the rest.
01:53:06.000Look, man, that is a great, that is a great, or that is great advice, but it's not that simple because what the government's going to do is inflate the currency.
01:53:17.000They're going to print, and that's going to affect you.
01:53:20.000So you may never see Social Security, but the government's going to ruin the value of your dollar.
01:53:51.000So these kind of problems are bigger than just, oh, you know, we won't be able to pay our bills.
01:53:57.000If we default, that'll cause a lot of problems globally because we are the global hegemon and we have the world's reserve currency.
01:54:07.000If we start printing money beyond what we've already done, start really getting crazy, not that it's not crazy now, countries are going to start saying we're never getting our money back from the government, from the federal government.
01:54:18.000So we might as well call in our debt now.
01:54:21.000That kind of stuff will inspire governments to do really, really crazy bad things.
01:54:29.000And that's the kind of stuff that starts world wars.
01:54:31.000So it's not as much as I understand your point, and I agree with you, it goes beyond that, and it'll have a negative effect on not just the United States, but probably the whole world.
01:54:45.000So we go from M1 to M2 and then we're going to hit M3.
01:54:49.000And that's going to be the spooky Toucan says, big thanks to Serge, Tate, and Phil for great takes.
01:54:57.000Fact checks on Christianity last night.
01:55:43.000He blasphemed Christ in the process and we had to step in.
01:55:46.000I mean, is it just me or does that should that bit have been on inverted world?
01:55:51.000I really feel like that was probably more appropriate for inverted world because that kind of like, you know, it's not, it's not your typical religious talk.
01:56:51.000You know, I'm not the type that says, you know, well, I will say never with AOC being the president of the United States of America, but I will say, but I normally don't say never because anything is possible.
02:00:56.000She's currently the governor of Massachusetts.
02:00:58.000I am not a fan of Massachusetts laws or their politicians so much that I left a lot of years ago and I'm not going back only to visit my mom and do it.
02:01:11.000Yeah, I would never, for the simple fact, I can barely pronounce it.
02:07:41.000YouTube on Wednesday will begin testing a new age verification system in the U.S. that relies on artificial intelligence to differentiate between adults and minors based on the kinds of videos that they have been watching.
02:07:53.000The tests initially will only affect a sliver of YouTube's audience in the U.S., but it will likely become more pervasive if the system works as well as well at guessing viewers' age as it does in other parts of the world.
02:08:05.000And see, this is what I was talking about.
02:08:08.000As AI becomes more ubiquitous, you're not going to be able to hide.
02:08:13.000Whether they're going by what you're clicking on or what you're looking at or photos you upload or what have you, like it is just going to be AI doing all of the things that the autists do now.
02:11:29.000The idea of a dystopian future that basically most of the dystopian futures that you see in sci-fi movies are better than what is likely to result.
