Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump JUST REVOKED Biden Clearance, SANCTIONS SA Over Treatment Of Whites w-Tony Ortiz | Timcast IRL

00:00:20.000 Each of these past few weeks under President Donald Trump have been a year or more in the It's indescribable.

00:00:29.000 Today I saw that Donald Trump revoked the security clearance of Joe Biden.

00:00:34.000 I mean, this is nuts.

00:00:37.000 This is a former president.

00:00:38.000 He already banned Bolton and I think Brennan, too, from federal buildings and revoked their clearance, revoking also the total 51 former spies who lied about the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:00:48.000 The big news, however, and this one's tough for us because we could go with there's a judge trying to block the firing of USAID employees.

00:00:57.000 USAID just had its name stripped from the building.

00:01:00.000 Crazy stuff is going on.

00:01:01.000 But Donald Trump issued an executive order on South Africa.

00:01:06.000 Sanctions and calling for refugee resettlement of quote-unquote ethnic minorities.

00:01:11.000 And we all know what ethnic minority that is.

00:01:14.000 It is the white South Africans who are being targeted or these farmers who are being tortured or killed.

00:01:21.000 Now for the longest time the media claimed it's not happening.

00:01:23.000 It's not true.

00:01:24.000 White people aren't being targeted in this country.

00:01:26.000 And now Donald Trump has come out outright as the president and said it's happening and something's got to be done about it.

00:01:32.000 This is a massive, massive story that's been bubbling up for decades.

00:01:38.000 Lauren Southern had a documentary, Farmlands, what is this, eight years ago, seven years ago, and this conversation's been happening for some time, and now movement is happening.

00:01:47.000 This is getting big.

00:01:49.000 So, you know, we've talked about, like, what's the big story?

00:01:51.000 I know for most Americans, it's probably going to be USAID, foreign spending, you know, Big Balls is back.

00:01:57.000 Elon Musk has rehired, quote-unquote, Big Balls.

00:01:58.000 That's his name?

00:01:59.000 I'm sorry.

00:02:00.000 That's what he goes by?

00:02:01.000 Beast.

00:02:01.000 Yeah, at Doge.

00:02:03.000 But we've got to talk about South Africa.

00:02:06.000 For the longest time, there have been white people as ethnic minorities being targeted, their land being threatened or taken.

00:02:13.000 And they recently passed a law in the country that says the government can just take your land without compensation.

00:02:18.000 And when international rights groups said, hey, this seems wrong, the response from the government was, it's all according to our laws.

00:02:25.000 But just because it's illegal doesn't make it right, make it right.

00:02:28.000 So we're going to talk about all that.

00:02:29.000 Before we get started, my friends, of course, head over to castbrew.com and buy coffee!

00:02:33.000 Because how can you listen to the news without a delicious cup of coffee?

00:02:37.000 And it looks like Ian's Graphene Dream is back.

00:02:41.000 We are working around the clock to restock Ian's Graphene Dream.

00:02:46.000 We have been, this is crazy, the more people buy Ian's Graphene Dream, the more they demand bigger stock and more shares.

00:02:54.000 We're getting emails from people being like, This is the best coffee ever.

00:02:57.000 I am surprised.

00:02:58.000 It's legit great.

00:03:00.000 I had it this morning.

00:03:01.000 My girlfriend ordered it, and I had it yesterday.

00:03:03.000 It's like legit.

00:03:04.000 The whole low-acid thing does make sense.

00:03:06.000 Ian, he's usurping my throne here.

00:03:09.000 We launched, so Appalachian Nights was the blend I made, and I didn't call it like Tim's, but I was like, Appalachian Nights, it's cool, you know, it's dark, it's fun.

00:03:18.000 And we didn't intend on that one being the top seller.

00:03:21.000 We thought Rise with Roberto Jr. That's why I put the rooster on it.

00:03:24.000 But then once people started buying Appalachian Nights, it shifted rapidly and became our best seller.

00:03:30.000 Ian said he didn't want...

00:03:32.000 He's like, coffee's too acidic.

00:03:33.000 I want a low-acidity coffee.

00:03:34.000 So we researched some of the lower acidity roasts and made a blend.

00:03:38.000 And then this is what we sold.

00:03:40.000 Ian sold a year's worth in one month.

00:03:44.000 And then we restocked as fast as we could.

00:03:46.000 It took like six weeks to get half...

00:03:48.000 six months in.

00:03:49.000 He sold it in a month.

00:03:50.000 And we are working.

00:03:51.000 So go to Casper.com.

00:03:53.000 Find out exactly what everyone's raving about with Ian's graphene dream.

00:03:57.000 I think this next batch is going to sell even faster.

00:04:56.000 What do you do?

00:04:56.000 I run Current Revolt.

00:04:58.000 We're a kind of like a National Enquirer slash TMZ of Texas politics.

00:05:02.000 So cover a lot of stories, break a lot of news, a lot of stuff we've reported on as cause legislation.

00:05:07.000 So we do good work.

00:05:09.000 Right on.

00:05:09.000 So obviously you've been dealing a lot with the border crisis stuff and immigration.

00:05:13.000 Yeah, it's like an everyday thing.

00:05:14.000 It's an everyday thing for us with the border crossings.

00:05:17.000 Been down there.

00:05:18.000 I think most people have been down there at this point.

00:05:20.000 It's just such a mess.

00:05:21.000 And you kind of don't realize until you go and see how absolutely awful it is.

00:05:25.000 Right on.

00:05:25.000 Well, thanks for hanging out.

00:05:26.000 Brett is here again.

00:05:27.000 Yes, back again two nights in a row.

00:05:29.000 You know, that's not even a downside.

00:05:31.000 Like, saying TMZ, actually one of the underrated sites that seems to not editorialize as much as other sites.

00:05:37.000 So that's actually a compliment in a lot of ways.

00:05:39.000 I love it.

00:05:39.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:40.000 Somebody tried insulting me once, I think, years ago, saying, you're like any TMZ. And I was like, you know what?

00:05:44.000 You're right.

00:05:44.000 Not an insult.

00:05:45.000 But guys, yes, Brett here.

00:05:47.000 Two nights in a row.

00:05:48.000 Let's go.

00:05:49.000 Hello, everybody.

00:05:50.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:05:51.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.

00:05:52.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:05:54.000 Let's go.

00:05:55.000 Here's the big story from the Associated Press.

00:05:58.000 Trump orders freeze of aid to South Africa, citing countries' land expropriation law.

00:06:03.000 But let's jump into the actual language of the man.

00:06:07.000 We have this executive order that was issued today, and it says, By the authority vested in me as president by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows.

00:06:17.000 In shocking disregard of its citizens' rights, the Republic of South Africa recently enacted Expropriation Act 13 of 2024 to enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaner's agricultural property without compensation.

00:06:31.000 This act follows countless government policies designed to dismantle equal opportunity in employment, education and business, and hateful rhetoric and government actions fueling disproportionate violence against racially disfavored landowners.

00:06:45.000 In addition, South Africa has taken aggressive positions towards the United States and its allies, including accusing Israel, not Hamas, of genocide in the International Court of Justice and reinvigorating its relations with Iran to develop commercial military nuclear arrangements.

00:06:58.000 The U.S. cannot support the government of South Africa's commission of rights violations in its country or its undermining U.S. foreign policy, which poses national security threats to our nation, our allies, our African partners and our interests.

00:07:11.000 It is the policy of the United States that as long as South Africa continues these unjust and immoral practices that harm our nation, the U.S. shall not provide aid or assistance to South Africa and the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government sponsored race based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation. the U.S. shall not provide aid or assistance to South This is a statement from the president.

00:07:34.000 The highest position in this country that, let's just be real, he is saying white people in South Africa are being targeted by racist policies to have their lands on.

00:07:43.000 Now, I've got to be honest.

00:07:44.000 Shouldn't all of the woke people defend these poor, oppressed minorities?

00:07:50.000 I mean, they're what, 8%?

00:07:52.000 Serge, you're going to have to help us out here.

00:07:55.000 Is the white population about 8% of South Africa?

00:07:58.000 I think it's like 8 or 13 percent.

00:08:01.000 It's something like that.

00:08:01.000 13!

00:08:02.000 I don't really worry.

00:08:04.000 Yeah, it is.

00:08:05.000 It's kind of mimicking the United States, huh?

00:08:06.000 Americans would say that is the population of African Americans here in the United States.

00:08:11.000 Right.

00:08:11.000 So it's a minority.

00:08:13.000 So shouldn't all the woke people defend?

00:08:16.000 The underprivileged minorities, whoever in their land, taken from them in South Africa?

00:08:20.000 Not enough melanin.

00:08:23.000 I think in Texas now, white people are becoming a minority.

00:08:28.000 And so it's Hispanics that are becoming the majority in Texas.

00:08:32.000 And you won't see it.

00:08:35.000 The minority is now just anybody that's brown.

00:08:39.000 Or something else, right? 0.83

00:08:41.000 Or black. 0.98

00:08:42.000 It's not. 0.74

00:08:42.000 When whites do become a minority, it's not. 0.74

00:08:44.000 They're going to change something.

00:08:46.000 The wording will change or something.

00:08:48.000 Oh, there's a different Latin wording.

00:08:49.000 Yeah, of course.

00:08:50.000 Right.

00:08:51.000 Go ahead.

00:08:52.000 Well, in South Africa, because the whites were the colonizers, you don't actually ascribe to just the race-based.

00:09:05.000 Dynamic, right?

00:09:06.000 The power dynamic that they ascribe to is decolonization.

00:09:10.000 So, because they're colonizers, it's okay.

00:09:14.000 To attack them.

00:09:16.000 It's okay to subjugate them.

00:09:18.000 It's okay to cast them out.

00:09:20.000 Because Franz Vanden wrote a book called The Wretched of the Earth, and he describes the decolonization process is always violent.

00:09:28.000 It's always about getting the colonizer out.

00:09:31.000 So the power dynamic, it doesn't matter that they're white in this context, because it's just about having the power dynamic shift. 0.89

00:09:41.000 But the interesting thing is that the history of colonization in South Africa does not mimic the colonization from other colonies.

00:09:50.000 True, true.

00:09:52.000 I'm not a historian of South Africa.

00:09:54.000 Maybe, Serge, you know a lot better.

00:09:56.000 But I've actually read a little bit.

00:09:58.000 I should say a little bit.

00:09:59.000 I met a few people 20 years ago.

00:10:03.000 I met a woman from South Africa.

00:10:05.000 And it got me interested because she had fled.

00:10:08.000 She was a young white woman and she had fled the country.

00:10:10.000 And I was like, really?

00:10:12.000 Like, what's that about? 0.73

00:10:12.000 And she explained that her parents didn't want her to get raped. 0.73

00:10:15.000 They were scared that she would be raped.

00:10:16.000 And so they found an au pair programs so that she could go overseas and this was the easiest way to get a visa and get her out of the country.

00:10:25.000 And so then I started just reading about what was going on and I was shocked to find that...

00:10:30.000 After the end of Apartheid, it rapidly became the rape capital, the baby rape capital of the world. 0.97

00:10:36.000 Homicides jumped tenfold, all these crazy things. 0.98

00:10:39.000 I then ended up watching a movie called Stander.

00:10:42.000 And Serge knows all about this guy, Andre Stander.

00:10:46.000 I guess he was like Dillinger of South Africa or something.

00:10:49.000 Something like that.

00:10:50.000 Bank robber.

00:10:51.000 Bad guy that was kind of like an anti-hero.

00:10:54.000 Yeah.

00:10:55.000 Kind of like Dillinger, you know what I mean?

00:10:57.000 He would burn mortgage papers and everyone would cheer for him.

00:10:59.000 But the Stander stories are crazy.

00:11:01.000 He robbed the bank and then they, as they were fleeing, they heard on the radio, fortunately, the Stander gang did not find the safe hidden behind one of the paintings, so they slammed the brakes on, turned around, went back to the bank, knocked on the door, and the manager said, sorry, we're closed, we were robbed.

00:11:15.000 They pointed a gun at him and said, remember us?

00:11:17.000 And went back in and went to the safe.

00:11:19.000 I feel like I heard that story just recently.

00:11:21.000 Maybe you said that off air or something?

00:11:23.000 It's a Tom Jane movie.

00:11:25.000 Oh, a Thomas Jane movie.

00:11:26.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:11:26.000 You should see it.

00:11:27.000 It's a good movie.

00:11:28.000 I did re-watch Public Enemies recently.

00:11:31.000 So, I was reading about it, and...

00:11:34.000 I could be totally wrong, and I'm not a historian.

00:11:36.000 I don't know.

00:11:37.000 Serge, you're going to have to correct me on this one.

00:11:38.000 But my understanding was that it was not a densely populated area when Cape Town was established and the East India Trading Company was coming down.

00:11:45.000 They needed to stop for supplies, and there were not very many people there.

00:11:48.000 But I don't know, Serge.

00:11:49.000 You tell me.

00:11:51.000 Well, it's a lot like the United States and a lot different than the United States.

00:11:56.000 1652, the...

00:11:58.000 Dramadaris landed in the Cape, and then after that they established a trading colony, like you said earlier before the show.

00:12:04.000 Established a trading colony, people liked the trading colony, then eventually the Bantu migration occurred, which was after we had made land in South Africa, people from, that are like what you consider Africans, came down from the north of Africa, out of the jungles, because it's, remember it's in the southern hemisphere, so the jungle, and the equator is north from you, so everything gets hotter as you go north, as opposed to hotter as you go south in the United States.

00:12:27.000 They all came down and then essentially made their own nations in South Africa because they said, hey, there's open land.

00:12:34.000 We can survive here.

00:12:35.000 We can make our place here amongst the Khoisan, who are the original true inhabitants of South Africa.

00:12:41.000 So like the idea, yeah, like you said, it's totally opposite of what people think.

00:12:43.000 They think, oh, well, white people showed up and subjugated the black people.

00:12:47.000 That's completely opposite to what happened.

00:12:49.000 What I've read...

00:12:51.000 And it's probably largely incorrect.

00:12:53.000 It's very surface level.

00:12:54.000 It was sparsely populated.

00:12:57.000 Trade colonies were set up, which brought food, resources, technology.

00:13:01.000 And then the natives that had been there started settling in and around these colonies because the excess of resource benefited them, which over 100, 200 years or 150 years results in these massive populations surrounding the major cities, cities, which of course they set rules being like, "You guys can't come in here." And then ultimately you get apartheid, segregation, and then you get the whole world being like, "It's racist that 90% of the population can't access your cities."

00:13:31.000 Ended it.

00:13:32.000 I think the big problem that South Africa had is I know there's a lot of – one of the big reasons why the media lied about what was going on was because they were like, but people will be racist if they hear that this is happening.

00:13:42.000 And I'm like, I don't think race is the principal component.

00:13:46.000 I think it's no societies that were not culturally reformed.

00:13:51.000 top of developed nations.

00:13:54.000 And then so you have people who don't have the same culture, the same education level.

00:13:58.000 If you take the left at their word and they say poverty causes crime, it's like, what do you think is going to happen when you open the door to an entire 90% of an impoverished population and put them into a developed nation?

00:14:09.000 This is what ends up happening.

00:14:11.000 Also remember, like you pointed out, why people on the left wouldn't be shouting to the high heavens about something like this.

00:14:17.000 There's a strong influence of cultural relativism, which is the reason why the feminists here will not complain about conditions going on in the Middle East. 1.00

00:14:25.000 They will only complain about it here despite the fact that there's no intellectual consistency there.

00:14:29.000 So they wouldn't actually see the problem there because they are not thinking about it that deeply.

00:14:33.000 Something that's also to note as well is this happened, it just speaks to what Tim is saying, it happened in Durban as well on the eastern side of South Africa because people were coming down from the eastern or the Indian Ocean in the Indian Ocean trade that occurred in that area for like 900 years.

00:14:46.000 They were coming down the coast, settling Madagascar and eventually settling the Durban area of South Africa.

00:14:51.000 So there have been Indians and Malay in the country for a long, long time.

00:14:55.000 But they also came down because it was very sparsely populated and they said, hey, we can set up a trade spot here.

00:14:59.000 People have to come around here because the Suez Canal didn't exist at the time.

00:15:03.000 People had to come around the Cape of Good Hope to go to the Indian Ocean and access a lot of trade.

00:15:07.000 So, of course, the Dutch settled there and had trade routes there because that's what the Dutch have been doing for forever.

00:15:11.000 But yeah, it's like you say, it's a population of people that don't have the same cultural high-trust society that we would have or that these Indian traders would have had that is trying to integrate that has never really integrated. 0.95

00:15:24.000 same you're seeing this happen though even in american cities where people from other countries come and they kind of you know add to the population and they change the culture of the city you can go to your grocery store i mean you know you go to a costco and it's completely different and then the costco will update it's the type of food it carries right but these cities cultures are drastically changing because the different type of people coming in and the left will prop it up it's like oh well we get different amazing new food and it's like yeah well okay but also the culture is changing and sometimes in a very negative and this is what i hear from a lot of these liberals

00:15:52.000 when they say things like well isn't it great that we get uh mexican food and we get you know soul food and we get these things and i'm like yeah i don't care about the food i care about in dearborn michigan where they have this massive rise in female genital mutilation and no law enforcement against it because the community there it's a natural part of their their their culture or in sweden where they had a rise in afghan refugee children raping little boys because that is also a practice that occurs in afghanistan and they're not going to be able to do that because they're 0.94

00:16:21.000 I believe the story goes that U.S. I met a guy who was a cop in Sweden who quit.

00:16:45.000 And he explained that this was happening because they resettled a bunch of refugees from Afghanistan. 0.64

00:16:52.000 And these young boys were going to pools in Sweden and raping little boys because it was a cultural practice they had. 0.94

00:16:57.000 And then they were being told not to report it. 0.57

00:17:00.000 It's always about, like, the left will always ignore this stuff happening, right?

00:17:04.000 And they always go to the food.

00:17:05.000 And it's so funny.

00:17:06.000 I always crack up because somebody will be like...

00:17:08.000 You need to go to this restaurant because it's so authentic and it's always like a Pablo or somebody like me in the kitchen.

00:17:13.000 It doesn't matter what type of cuisine it is.

00:17:15.000 It's true.

00:17:15.000 There's a Mexican dude behind the counter.

00:17:17.000 You go to a pizza restaurant, there's a Mexican guy working there.

00:17:18.000 Yeah, of course.

00:17:19.000 It's authentic, but it's like...

00:17:20.000 The truth is that as a racial group, they're the best chefs, the best cooks.

00:17:24.000 Roofers.

00:17:25.000 Roofers.

00:17:26.000 According to leftists.

00:17:28.000 Tony, to your point earlier, the...

00:17:31.000 I think that it would be very good for the United States to actually make English the national language and stop producing any official federal paperwork in any other language.

00:17:44.000 Nowadays, you can go and get...

00:17:46.000 You can get multiple different forms that are required in Chinese.

00:17:50.000 You can get them in any number of different languages.

00:17:53.000 And I think that the first step in getting people to assimilate to American culture, which should be a goal for the United States, and is the correct behavior if you're going to go to a new country. 0.74

00:18:06.000 The first goal should be get everyone to speak the same language, because if you can't even think in the same language, then you're going to have a more difficult time assimilating to the culture.

00:18:18.000 People need to understand this.

00:18:19.000 Languages are almost like operating systems.

00:18:23.000 Yes, 100%.

00:18:24.000 And most people are, I guess, what's the phrase?

00:18:27.000 You'd say monolingual?

00:18:28.000 Speaking one language, they don't really understand that different cultures that speak a different language, You ever encounter someone...

00:18:38.000 This is so important.

00:18:39.000 Right.

00:18:39.000 Have you ever encountered someone and you said, like, what is that?

00:18:42.000 And they go, ah, there's no word in English for it.

00:18:44.000 I'm like, whoa, what do you mean there's no...

00:18:45.000 Then explain it in English as to what you think it is.

00:18:48.000 And they go, man, I guess you would say it's...

00:18:51.000 What they're literally saying is, there is a concept...

00:18:55.000 There is something in their mind they can see that they cannot articulate in my language.

00:18:59.000 There was actually a trans actor in Hollywood that's going through this whole thing right now because a bunch of... 0.99

00:19:07.000 Inflammatory tweets came out and they're actually all of them.

00:19:10.000 So she's losing award season because all of this stuff against various groups came out and they're actually a big part of what they're saying is it's actually worse.

00:19:18.000 All the translated ones for this guy are actually worse if you read it in the native language.

00:19:23.000 And this is actually one of the first things that Hollywood did to try to shame Americans was the idea that you go to, they would turn you into a straw man argument where you go to a convenience store and they ask you, it's like, I'm sorry.

00:19:36.000 Instead of saying, I'm sorry, I don't speak Spanish, to say, speak English, dude.

00:19:40.000 When we understand that's not really how you think about it, you're like, look, I'm sorry we're having a miscommunication here.

00:19:46.000 I don't speak your language, but that's not interesting because Hollywood is self-hating and they want to portray anyone who isn't multilingual or multicultural as a bad person.

00:19:55.000 So, thank you.

00:19:58.000 I've been all over the place and giving thanks, expressing gratitude.

00:20:03.000 I always thought it was funny that in Spanish it's gracias, right?

00:20:06.000 And I'm like, that just sounds like you're saying gracious.

00:20:08.000 So you're kind of conveying somewhat of a different idea.

00:20:11.000 When I was in Brazil, I asked my friend, how do you say thank you?

00:20:15.000 In Portuguese, it says obrigado.

00:20:17.000 And I said, oh, okay, all right, that's simple.

00:20:19.000 And then I saw a sign.

00:20:21.000 For parking?

00:20:22.000 And it said something like obrogatorio or something like that.

00:20:24.000 And I was like, why does the parking sign say thank you on it or some form of thank you?

00:20:28.000 And then I said, what does that mean?

00:20:29.000 He goes, oh, it says, it's like, he was explaining that parking sign says that you can't park here for this reason.

00:20:34.000 And I said, why does it say that I'm there?

00:20:35.000 And he goes, that means obligation.

00:20:38.000 And I was like, when you guys say thank you, are you saying that I am obligated?

00:20:42.000 And then I started to think about this.

00:20:44.000 And this is something probably linguists have known since they went to college, like their first course.

00:20:50.000 How we express gratitude is conveyed in different ways.

00:20:54.000 And when you ask someone to translate it, they're not telling you the actual translation.

00:20:57.000 So when he told me, you say, Obrigado is how you say thank you.

00:21:02.000 In my mind, thank you means to you I am grateful that you have provided something for me.

00:21:08.000 In his mind, he is saying, don't worry, it's an obligation that I have.

00:21:12.000 You know, it's a different concept.

00:21:15.000 So when in the United States...

00:21:18.000 Now that we're seeing the rise of all these different languages, Phil makes a really great point because many people have pointed out.

00:21:22.000 When you don't have a shared language, your culture shatters.

00:21:26.000 And then you end up with vastly different ideas as to what should or should not be and no way to convey them.

00:21:31.000 And then going back to the whole point about food versus law, you end up with places where they have female genital mutilation in Michigan.

00:21:38.000 And then we hear it in the news.

00:21:40.000 The problem is, in a largely Americanized Christian moral tradition area, we are shocked to hear it's happening.

00:21:47.000 And then when you go there, they say, don't interfere in our way of life.

00:21:51.000 This is normal for us.

00:21:53.000 Yeah, and the left will do that. 0.91

00:21:54.000 They'll say, oh, we shouldn't change the culture for these countries, right?

00:21:58.000 But they're totally okay with other countries coming in here and changing the way we do things.

00:22:01.000 Yeah, that's the cultural relativism.

00:22:03.000 Yeah, and you have people in the U.S. that have immigrated here, and they've been here for 30, 40 years, and they still don't speak English.

00:22:09.000 I want to just read one super chat before I go to the next story, because Sam's son said, Tim is Tim the kind of dude who speaks broken Spanish to Mexican restaurant workers 100%.

00:22:21.000 It is a secret.

00:22:23.000 It is a fact.

00:22:24.000 In Chicago, if you order in Spanish, you get free stuff.

00:22:28.000 Because none of the Mexican restaurants are mad at you for trying to speak their language.

00:22:34.000 It is a sign of respect, and they appreciate it.

00:22:37.000 So when I go in, I say, hola mi amigo, dos tacos de pollo, por favor, mas crema, y avocado, or whatever.

00:22:43.000 Guacamole.

00:22:44.000 And then they smile and they say, yeah, yeah, you're trying, buddy.

00:22:46.000 And then they give me free chips.

00:22:48.000 I learned this when I was 16. Because on the south side of Chicago, Mexican restaurants everywhere.

00:22:53.000 And I went with my friend, and she was just like, let me order.

00:22:57.000 And she ordered in fluent Spanish.

00:22:59.000 And when they came out, they brought chips, guac, sour cream, salsa, and beans, beans and cheese.

00:23:05.000 And then I was like, oh, did you order that?

00:23:06.000 And she was like, no.

00:23:07.000 And I was like, they just gave you all that stuff for free?

00:23:10.000 And she's like, yeah, that's what happens when you order in Spanish. 0.98

00:23:11.000 And I was like, shut up.

00:23:12.000 So then I was at a Mexican restaurant on the north side. 0.96

00:23:15.000 And I was like, I'm gonna order in Spanish.

00:23:17.000 And that's, you know, that's the joke, dos tacos de pollo.

00:23:19.000 And then they gave me free chips and sour cream and dip.

00:23:22.000 And I was just like, I asked, I was like, I was like, hey, I didn't order that.

00:23:25.000 And they were like, oh, you're good, man.

00:23:26.000 And I was like, what?

00:23:27.000 And now you're the gringo guy. 1.00

00:23:29.000 You're trying.

00:23:30.000 People appreciate from other countries you trying their language.

00:23:33.000 But to say that we should have a national language is not to disparage someone else or another culture.

00:23:39.000 It's simply saying everyone in America should be able to understand each other and communicate with each other.

00:23:47.000 If you're going to live here, you should assimilate. 1.00

00:23:49.000 You can speak whatever language you want at home.

00:23:52.000 And if you have...

00:23:54.000 In your neighborhood, there are...

00:23:57.000 Or, you know, it's predominantly another language that's spoken.

00:24:00.000 That's fine, too.

00:24:01.000 But when it comes to interacting in the broader society, there should be a...

00:24:06.000 It should be English.

00:24:08.000 And again, when I was growing up, it used to be...

00:24:11.000 It was when this idea was first becoming taboo, right?

00:24:16.000 Like, I remember S.O.D. had a record called...

00:24:19.000 Stormtroopers of Death had a record called Speak English or Die.

00:24:22.000 That was in the early 90s.

00:24:23.000 And, you know, that was not...

00:24:29.000 Particularly edgy.

00:24:29.000 It was a little on the edgy side, but it wasn't super edgy.

00:24:33.000 But then after, you know, a few years after that came out, people started to say, oh, that's kind of, maybe you shouldn't.

00:24:38.000 But it's not about demeaning anyone else.

00:24:41.000 It's about making sure that everybody in America has a shared understanding of the world that we live in.

00:24:48.000 And Tim's point about language dictates, is like an operating system that is such a great...

00:24:54.000 A great way to describe it, because it really is.

00:24:58.000 We think in words, and if we don't have words for things, we can't comprehend it.

00:25:03.000 I don't think there's a word for snow in Hawaiian.

00:25:07.000 They don't need it.

00:25:08.000 I've heard that.

00:25:09.000 I assume that's true, because many of them have never seen it.

00:25:11.000 But my understanding is that in French, there's a phrase or word for...

00:25:17.000 It's described as the feeling that you get when you look down from a great height and want to jump, but no, you shouldn't.

00:25:24.000 Yeah.

00:25:24.000 And then there's a – I was reading about one African culture that has a word for the feeling you get when you look at a woman or when you look at a person that you deeply love but you know that they're looking at someone else who they love and care about and that you'll never have them.

00:25:39.000 And it's like for us to convey that idea, I had to say all that.

00:25:43.000 And that's why it's really funny sometimes when you're watching you're watching a show with subtitles and the guy will go like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:25:50.000 And then underneath it says sit down.

00:25:52.000 Yeah.

00:25:52.000 And you're like, you know, because they don't have the same way of conveying that idea as simply as we do.

00:25:56.000 But let's jump to this next story from The Daily Wire.

00:25:59.000 Trump revokes Biden's security clearance, cites poor mental acuity.

00:26:04.000 Joe, you're fired.

00:26:06.000 I almost couldn't believe this when I heard.

00:26:08.000 We're set at the show, and Callum was like, hey, they revoked Biden's security clearance.

00:26:12.000 And I was like, whoa.

00:26:13.000 Yeah, I think you said, did you just tell him he was fired?

00:26:15.000 And then you pull up the tweet, and it literally says, Joe, you're fired.

00:26:18.000 Well, Callum was like, you're fired, Joe.

00:26:19.000 And I was like, did he actually say you're fired?

00:26:21.000 So here's what Trump said.

00:26:23.000 There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information.

00:26:26.000 Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden's security clearances and stopping his daily intelligence briefings.

00:26:31.000 He set this precedent in 2021 when he instructed the intelligence community to stop the 45th president of the United States, me, from accessing details on national security, a courtesy provided to former presidents.

00:26:42.000 The report revealed that Biden suffers from poor memory and even in his prime could not be trusted with sensitive information.

00:26:49.000 I will always protect our national security.

00:26:51.000 Joe, you're fired.

00:26:53.000 Make America great again.

00:26:54.000 Wow.

00:26:56.000 Good.

00:26:57.000 One of the best examples where you know the people on the left will be really mad that he did this, not understanding that they did this to him first because they'll expect the Republicans to just lie over and play dead.

00:27:07.000 Yeah, Independent writes that he did it as revenge against his predecessor, and I'm just kind of like, yeah, I don't care.

00:27:13.000 Then what did his predecessor do?

00:27:15.000 His predecessor was just getting revenge, too.

00:27:18.000 Biden is genuinely unwell.

00:27:19.000 I mean, I don't think even some of the left recognizes this.

00:27:23.000 He's not.

00:27:23.000 Oh, they all recognize it.

00:27:25.000 They've just been lying the whole time.

00:27:26.000 And it's like, you know what's really crazy?

00:27:29.000 At a certain point, I genuinely do not understand how people watch.

00:27:34.000 Brian Tyler Cohen or David Pakman or even to a certain degree like Cenk Uygur.

00:27:39.000 I understand the Young Turks have been like, we are populist and we understand.

00:27:42.000 But I'm like, how does any sane person literally say, I want my tax dollars going to like pottery classes in Morocco?

00:27:54.000 Like, this is the craziest thing about it.

00:27:57.000 How are there people who are actually watching these shows where they're like, how dare Trump shut down the sending of our tax dollars to Morocco for pottery classes?

00:28:05.000 And it's like, do you really want that?

00:28:08.000 Do you think a lot of them are even realizing that or they just buy these narratives that Elon Musk is shutting this stuff down to enrich himself or commit identity fraud, which are these weird arguments that they're making?

00:28:19.000 Yeah, they're claiming that you stole the treasury data.

00:28:22.000 I think you're thinking about it a lot deeper than the average person who complains about stuff like this.

00:28:27.000 I think most of them never make it past the other. 0.96

00:28:29.000 But if your argument is that the people who watch David Pakman are dumb as a boxer, I'll agree with you. 0.84

00:28:34.000 Well, I'm not even going that far. 0.88

00:28:36.000 I'm saying just the people who think in...

00:28:39.000 But do you remember when the...

00:28:47.000 What was the program for Pakistan that came out last year?

00:28:52.000 It was like $10 million to study gender in Pakistan or something like that.

00:28:57.000 Gender studies in Pakistan.

00:28:58.000 It was $12 million in the omnibus. 0.99

00:29:00.000 The point is we see stuff like that and we get annoyed because we know that these omnibus bills are packed with pork and we understand that this kind of crap comes and goes. 0.64

00:29:07.000 But the average person, they just trust – a lot of people, they just trust the government when it's Democrats.

00:29:13.000 So what you're saying is according to this chart, your average David – I've met people that literally cannot, like, draw a...

00:29:26.000 Visualize things?

00:29:27.000 Yeah, visualize an apple.

00:29:28.000 I've met somebody, you know, they say some people don't have an inner voice.

00:29:31.000 Yeah.

00:29:32.000 That's just the wildest thing.

00:29:33.000 That's actually a lot of people.

00:29:34.000 Yeah, it is a lot.

00:29:35.000 They think in, like, abstracts and content.

00:29:37.000 That's crazy to me.

00:29:38.000 I don't know how that works.

00:29:39.000 I wrote a really good Aiden Paladin video on inner monologue.

00:29:42.000 I don't know how it works.

00:29:43.000 I mean, we have people watch this show and they'll comment saying, like, I don't think in words.

00:29:48.000 And it's funny, like, there was a viral video where a woman was like, you guys hear, like, words in your head?

00:29:54.000 That's crazy!

00:29:55.000 And it's just like, how do you think?

00:29:57.000 Like, how do you plan things?

00:29:59.000 I can't imagine how you don't.

00:30:02.000 Like, I mean, I go around, like, I'll, like, walk through the house constantly muttering to myself because I'm thinking out loud.

00:30:08.000 You know, and...

00:30:10.000 But when I'm around other people, I know that it's a bad thing to mutter, but I'm still thinking the words.

00:30:17.000 I actually, I don't have an inner monologue.

00:30:19.000 I have an inner lecture.

00:30:22.000 It's just, in my mind, it's Phil sitting in a chair explaining everything to me.

00:30:25.000 And I'm just looking at him and going, that's a good point, Phil.

00:30:29.000 So I'm visualizing it in 3D, you know what I mean?

00:30:32.000 I'm glad that I can be upset.

00:30:34.000 I just don't think that a lot of people have even made it as far as to believe anything that they're reading here.

00:30:39.000 They just assume that the government, as long as Democrats are running it, are good people.

00:30:43.000 And if we were sending money over there, they're like, well, there must be a reason.

00:30:47.000 I think the NPC meme is real.

00:30:49.000 Yeah.

00:30:50.000 Here's what's happened.

00:30:52.000 There is a finite amount of souls.

00:30:55.000 And so now when there's a lot of people being born, some of them have no souls.

00:30:58.000 Those are NPCs and they vote Democrat.

00:31:00.000 I'm kidding, by the way, but I know they're going to take that seriously and clip that.

00:31:04.000 Christians will get mad too. 0.97

00:31:05.000 I don't even know if it's NPCs.

00:31:07.000 I think it's a lot of it is like nowadays you become a tourist in politics and you read a couple of headlines that really upset you.

00:31:13.000 But we understand that these social media companies did a lot of work to figure out what makes people post on platforms and stuff that makes you angry gets you to post.

00:31:20.000 So even if you don't read about politics all day, you read something that says that.

00:31:24.000 Elon Musk is stealing social security numbers, whatever, this bullshit that they're, sorry, the stuff that they're reading, and that gets them to post on it, but they're not actually doing the legwork to look into this stuff. 0.57

00:31:35.000 And if they did, I don't know if they'd believe it, because they've been lied to their whole lives. 0.81

00:31:38.000 Now we've got these fake, we've got these, on NPC, we've got these fake profiles now, like Facebook's making AI. Yeah, they admitted that, didn't they?

00:31:45.000 Yeah, there was a company I read recently that they do AI support, customer support, and they were making AI LinkedIn profiles for their quote-unquote employees, which is just AI. And they were applying for jobs and open to work, right?

00:32:01.000 And these aren't real people, and LinkedIn banned them.

00:32:03.000 Have you seen Westworld?

00:32:05.000 Did you watch Westworld, Brett?

00:32:06.000 First season.

00:32:07.000 You didn't watch beyond the first season?

00:32:09.000 No, first season.

00:32:09.000 So I watched the first season, then stopped, and then recently started watching the second.

00:32:13.000 And third, the premise of the show, it's an old show, so I'll just spoiler alert.

00:32:18.000 The purpose of, you know what Westworld is?

00:32:21.000 Yeah, I'm familiar.

00:32:22.000 I've never watched it.

00:32:22.000 Yeah, like you go to this fake planet where it's like you get to pretend to be a cowboy and do whatever you want.

00:32:27.000 They were actually mapping people's behaviors and mapping their personalities to create profiles of the person.

00:32:34.000 And then they were replicating them as these androids. 0.86

00:32:39.000 And so basically...

00:32:41.000 The bad guy, this woman, you know, Evan Rachel Wood, is killing humans and then using the data on them that they've stored from collecting their profile and then putting their copy into a robot body. 1.00

00:32:54.000 So we're very much getting to that point when they're creating AI profiles for people without them knowing.

00:33:01.000 Let me tell you guys, you want something scary?

00:33:03.000 I think it's now becoming clear why Elon Musk bought X. Do you know why he did?

00:33:10.000 Why he bought Twitter.

00:33:11.000 The best training algorithm for an LLM. Yeah.

00:33:14.000 That's it.

00:33:16.000 The best training model.

00:33:17.000 You can take all of the articles from Huffington Post and Breitbart and the New York Times and whatever, or you can have what they call the fire hose.

00:33:24.000 That is the massive stream of human consciousness, and Grok is absorbing it all.

00:33:29.000 I think that, I mean, between the, what, 15 years that Tesla has been...

00:33:35.000 Taking data from Tesla vehicles that were out in the road, or on the road, and the enormous amount of data that's in X, he might have the largest database, might have...

00:33:47.000 Actual ownership of the largest database for AI to exploit in the world.

00:33:53.000 And Tesla's incentivizing people now to use their full self-driving with insurance discounts.

00:33:58.000 If you have a Tesla, it's in trial period, so not everybody gets this.

00:34:03.000 But if you use a certain percentage of your driving as done with full self-driving, you will get a percentage discount.

00:34:10.000 That's 99% of my driving.

00:34:12.000 The only reason I say 99% is when I'm parking, even though they can park themselves now.

00:34:17.000 But usually, so the problem with full self-driving is it can't navigate non-map streets.

00:34:23.000 So when you're in a rural area, it will...

00:34:25.000 So what it does is, like, if I put an address in a rural area, the car will drive past the address.

00:34:31.000 Because you have to stop and go down a dirt road, which is like, it's a big acreage.

00:34:34.000 So that's the only 1%.

00:34:36.000 Usually, I'm just sitting there with my eyes...

00:34:38.000 This is what I do.

00:34:40.000 This is how I drive my Tesla.

00:34:41.000 I go like this.

00:34:42.000 I put these things on, and then I just sit back and go...

00:34:45.000 And then, I'm kidding by the way, don't do that.

00:34:47.000 But the way Tesla works is they have a camera that watches everything you do and if your eyes go off the road, even to look at your Spotify or whatever, the screen starts flashing and then it's like, pay attention to the road and then it'll turn red and then shut off.

00:35:03.000 So, don't do that.

00:35:05.000 People were doing crazy stuff though with that.

00:35:07.000 They were putting weights on the steering wheel, but now you don't need it.

00:35:10.000 Now you can literally just press the button, you click the wheel, and you sit there.

00:35:14.000 And then the car just drives itself, 100%.

00:35:16.000 But you still have to look at the road, right?

00:35:18.000 As long as you're looking at the road.

00:35:19.000 But I heard Musk was talking about it a couple weeks ago.

00:35:22.000 He believes that in...

00:35:24.000 Third or fourth quarter 2025 or first quarter 2026, they'll release full self-driving unsupervised.

00:35:30.000 So I can sit in the back of my car?

00:35:32.000 Well, yeah.

00:35:33.000 I mean, that's what the Tesla taxi is.

00:35:34.000 So the technology that's in your full self-driving car is what they're putting in the Tesla taxi.

00:35:40.000 Once the Tesla taxi is actually deployed, it's the same thing.

00:35:45.000 I'll tell you one of the scariest things, though.

00:35:49.000 I don't see it being ready.

00:35:51.000 One of the Teslas can't drive on hills.

00:35:54.000 That's just it.

00:35:55.000 Full self-driving cannot deal with hills.

00:35:57.000 Why?

00:35:58.000 It cannot see over them.

00:36:00.000 And so we have out here a lot of hills with curves.

00:36:05.000 Every single time in full self-driving, it will go up the hill and into the wrong lane a few inches.

00:36:11.000 It'll go over the median and then swerve right back once it realizes because it's all camera-based.

00:36:16.000 And it's kind of surprising to me because the road is mapped out.

00:36:21.000 On my screen, it knows the curve is coming, but it goes up the hill.

00:36:25.000 And then I'm thinking to myself, if there's a car coming the other way, we're colliding.

00:36:30.000 Just boom.

00:36:31.000 And there was also an instance I had a few months ago where a car stopped to make a right turn and the Tesla did not.

00:36:36.000 And then right when I was probably like two inches, I just rammed the wheel to the left and onto the wrong side of the road to stop it from hitting a car.

00:36:44.000 So it's getting there.

00:36:45.000 But that's the grandiose stuff.

00:36:47.000 You were talking about the Facebook stuff, and I think they ended up getting, like, they pulled back on that program with the AI influencers and stuff, because it's basically a way to bump their numbers so they can sell advertising on Meta.

00:36:58.000 Did you see the video of the guy who broke the female AI influencer on there?

00:37:05.000 What do you mean broke it?

00:37:07.000 Just turned it into an uber racist.

00:37:10.000 That happens with every AI. As soon as word gets out that there's an AI, the trolls are like, alright, let's go start uploading Hitler stuff.

00:37:20.000 The boomers can't handle the AI images, though. 1.00

00:37:23.000 They can't recognize it.

00:37:24.000 It breaks their mind and they love it, though.

00:37:26.000 They'll post like, What politician was it when there was flooding or something, and she posted a picture of a girl holding a teddy bear, and it was an AI-generated photo, and people were like, yeah, this is AI, and she refused to recognize it for a bit.

00:37:39.000 I don't remember.

00:37:41.000 But the boomers, the AI's a disaster for them. 0.99

00:37:43.000 It's a total disaster for them.

00:37:46.000 It's okay, though, because they're boomers.

00:37:50.000 We love them.

00:37:50.000 We do love them.

00:37:54.000 It's normal for older people to struggle with technology.

00:37:59.000 I think partially that's because they don't expose themselves to it as much as younger people do.

00:38:05.000 People kind of get set in their ways and they're just like, you know, I'm going to do this.

00:38:09.000 I mean, I'm definitely of the age where a lot of my peers are like not particularly...

00:38:18.000 Yeah, savvy with technology because of, I think, what I do and because of, you know, kind of like my lifestyle and stuff.

00:38:26.000 I am more savvy than the average person that's my age.

00:38:31.000 But I imagine that it'll come in time.

00:38:34.000 Yeah, we're all going to go through it.

00:38:35.000 There's going to be something that happens that makes us all able to handle it.

00:38:38.000 Something very important I want everybody to know.

00:38:40.000 And this could actually help you in your day-to-day life today.

00:38:44.000 As we enter this AI future...

00:38:46.000 I'd like you just to remember this question to ask if ever you are confused and wondering if you're dealing with an AI. You say, you're in a desert walking along in the sand when you suddenly spot a tortoise lying on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun.

00:39:00.000 It's struggling, trying to turn itself over, but it can't.

00:39:03.000 You're not helping it.

00:39:04.000 Why?

00:39:07.000 That's a very important question.

00:39:11.000 I mean...

00:39:12.000 I kind of feel like I would help it.

00:39:13.000 Yeah, why wouldn't you help it?

00:39:15.000 That's interesting.

00:39:16.000 How about, let's try another one.

00:39:18.000 Let's try this.

00:39:21.000 Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about your mother.

00:39:27.000 Oh, sweet, fun, funny.

00:39:32.000 Interesting, indeed.

00:39:33.000 You're watching television and suddenly realize there's a wasp crawling on your arm.

00:39:39.000 I'm having a bad day.

00:39:41.000 Anxiety?

00:39:42.000 I feel like I'm falling into the, but you did eat breakfast trap right now.

00:39:46.000 It's your birthday and someone gives you a calfskin wallet.

00:39:48.000 How do you react?

00:39:50.000 I mean, I personally don't...

00:39:53.000 But Chet knows exactly what I'm doing.

00:39:55.000 You guys are in trouble.

00:39:57.000 I don't.

00:39:57.000 You guys are in trouble.

00:39:58.000 You're going to be owned by the robots.

00:39:59.000 They're going to walk up to you and you're going to say, you know, I will do anything you say, robot overlord.

00:40:04.000 Well, I mean, the context is I'm here with someone that I know, so it's a little different, but why?

00:40:11.000 Go ahead.

00:40:12.000 It's from Blade Runner.

00:40:13.000 Oh, is it really?

00:40:13.000 It's the replicant test.

00:40:15.000 Oh, okay, okay, okay.

00:40:15.000 To see if they were human or not.

00:40:17.000 You ask them these questions, you know, that's what you gotta do.

00:40:21.000 You know.

00:40:22.000 So like a Turing test for AI. But the answers, are the answers dictating whether or not...

00:40:28.000 The point of the test is not that there's a right answer.

00:40:31.000 It's how you react to it.

00:40:32.000 You know what?

00:40:33.000 A better example?

00:40:34.000 I really love this scene in Sherlock Holmes.

00:40:37.000 What is it?

00:40:38.000 Johnny...

00:40:38.000 The Game of Shadows or whatever the last...

00:40:41.000 The second one.

00:40:42.000 The second one.

00:40:42.000 Yeah, they're trying to find a guy who's gotten surgery to look like some, you know, government official.

00:40:48.000 And they're like, how do we do it?

00:40:50.000 Like, people are just at a party.

00:40:52.000 And then Watson says, it's not that we're trying to find someone who's acting abnormally.

00:40:58.000 It's that...

00:40:59.000 Someone who can't react abnormally.

00:41:01.000 And so he hits a tray of drinks, causing the drinks to shatter, and then the normal reaction everybody has is shock, but the one guy desperately trying to hold it together doesn't react because he doesn't know how he's supposed to fake a reaction to this.

00:41:15.000 And so that's how they find him.

00:41:17.000 My point is, we got a lot of NPCs in politics.

00:41:20.000 And now we've got AI profiles, dead internet theory.

00:41:25.000 This is the scariest thing.

00:41:26.000 I'd be willing to bet my friends.

00:41:30.000 90%, maybe not 90, but maybe around that, 90% of the people who you talk to on social media aren't real.

00:41:36.000 At least as far as reactions, likes, and responses to the stuff that you post.

00:41:41.000 Well, there was a story I saw a while ago, I don't know how true it is, that Facebook was going to intentionally, you brought this up.

00:41:46.000 That was the point, yeah.

00:41:47.000 They were intentionally creating fake profiles to interact with you.

00:41:49.000 The AI profiles were being taught language models so that they would interact with you because it helps bolster ad revenue because they can start selling ads on all of their stuff, yeah.

00:41:59.000 And even that, they're not disclosing that to these companies, right?

00:42:02.000 The crazy thing too is that...

00:42:03.000 For a couple of years now, there are fake female influencers. 1.00

00:42:09.000 They're advertised that way too.

00:42:10.000 People like the new generation, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, they actually follow them knowing that they're fake because they live their whole lives behind a screen.

00:42:17.000 They don't actually care.

00:42:19.000 This is wild.

00:42:19.000 But I remember there was one meme.

00:42:21.000 There was a meme and it was a clearly AI woman. 0.63

00:42:24.000 And there was just like a Facebook profile of like a late 50s guy.

00:42:29.000 With, like, a white mustache.

00:42:30.000 And then he said, like, you're so beautiful.

00:42:31.000 And people were like, this is sad, man.

00:42:34.000 Yeah, you look at the comments section of any of these, like, they pop up on Instagram of, like, these fake AI women. 1.00

00:42:39.000 And the comments are just totally just dudes just all in love with them.

00:42:43.000 But here's the terrifying reality.

00:42:46.000 What if?

00:42:47.000 So I know there's people watching this show.

00:42:49.000 How do I know?

00:42:50.000 Well, like, I meet them in real life.

00:42:52.000 So I know there's actually people who watch.

00:42:56.000 What happens when, in five years, People are like, oh, I love Timcast IRL. I watch that show all the time.

00:43:03.000 Yeah, it's the 734th biggest podcast in the world.

00:43:07.000 But I watch it sometimes.

00:43:09.000 What's the biggest podcast in the world?

00:43:10.000 Oh, it's, you know, Jack Smith and Friends.

00:43:13.000 And then this podcast, Jack Smith and Friends, gets 17 million views per episode.

00:43:19.000 All of the views come from AI profiles that were created by big corporations for one reason or another.

00:43:23.000 So nobody is actually watching the show.

00:43:26.000 But advertisers buy on the show.

00:43:28.000 The AI profiles promote the products because they're AI designed to talk about what was on the show.

00:43:33.000 And this person with zero influence is the biggest show in the world and makes tons of money.

00:43:38.000 You're seeing that on like X and Instagram.

00:43:41.000 And this has been happening forever where people would buy followers, right?

00:43:44.000 You can go on a website and you can buy Instagram followers.

00:43:47.000 And it was always a giveaway because somebody would have like 10,000 followers on their Instagram page and they'd have like two likes on a post, right?

00:43:53.000 You see that now currently on X. There's a few people out there who run podcasts, and when people ask me, it's like, have you ever gone to this person's show?

00:44:02.000 I just respond with, no, but I'm really impressed when someone has the ability to get half a million views on a podcast with seven comments.

00:44:10.000 And then they go, huh?

00:44:11.000 And I'm like, nothing.

00:44:13.000 You know, just no big deal.

00:44:15.000 But here's the reality.

00:44:17.000 You'll notice that there are a lot of people, and maybe we should be doing it.

00:44:21.000 I don't know.

00:44:21.000 There are a lot of people who like to post their numbers publicly.

00:44:24.000 They'll tweet out, like...

00:44:25.000 Look at us.

00:44:27.000 Look at our rankings.

00:44:27.000 Look at our viewership.

00:44:28.000 Look at our numbers.

00:44:30.000 And it's clout building.

00:44:31.000 And so there are a lot of podcasts out there that lie about their audience size, but it doesn't matter.

00:44:39.000 Because with that lie, they're able to book big names.

00:44:42.000 Yeah, you fake it till you make it.

00:44:44.000 Or just fake it.

00:44:45.000 That's it.

00:44:46.000 Because these shows still aren't big.

00:44:48.000 But there are some shows, you'll see a clip pop up, and I'm like, how did they book this actor or whatever?

00:44:54.000 And then I can see that they've got huge numbers on their podcasts, but no comments, no likes, no interactions.

00:45:01.000 And when they, like, these talent agencies, when they have celebrities and they have high-profile people, they don't know or care.

00:45:09.000 They get a press kit and a request saying, we have a podcast with, insert however many million followers, our average video gets X many views, would you like to come on the show?

00:45:20.000 And they go, this would be huge.

00:45:22.000 And then I talk to some of these people.

00:45:24.000 And I say, you actually went on those shows?

00:45:27.000 And they'll be like, yeah, I mean, they're big, right?

00:45:29.000 And I'm like, no.

00:45:30.000 And they're like, but they get tons of views.

00:45:32.000 And I was like, it's amazing that you actually went out and went on a show without doing any research.

00:45:38.000 And they're like, well, how are we supposed to know?

00:45:39.000 Like, my guy plays golf.

00:45:41.000 He doesn't build media companies.

00:45:43.000 We just saw that this guy gets millions of views, and I was like, indeed he does.

00:45:47.000 Indeed he does.

00:45:48.000 I mean, it's even worse now in the age of, like, the Zoom interview, where they'll go on channels that have not even, like, the fake views, right?

00:45:55.000 Not even, like, the fake engagement.

00:45:56.000 They'll just do that because there are what are called approved media outlets for a lot of these people to cover, so it's getting worse.

00:46:03.000 You see this a lot, though, with, like, organizations, and it'll be like, an organization has a really fancy name, and the guy will introduce himself, he's like, I'm the president, CEO, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and it's like, you've got one employee, dude.

00:46:14.000 Like, what are you doing with this title, you know?

00:46:17.000 Yeah, you know, that was always funny to me, because I remember when I first started working with my buddies to make businesses, and my friend was like, I'll be the chief operating officer, and I was like, really?

00:46:30.000 I was like, is that how that works?

00:46:31.000 And they're like, yeah.

00:46:32.000 And I was like, you just say you are?

00:46:34.000 And they're like, yeah.

00:46:35.000 And then I was like, and then I remember when I got hired at Fusion, I was like, they were like, you know, we'll have you as a senior correspondent.

00:46:43.000 I was like, nah, I want to be a director.

00:46:44.000 And they're like, okay.

00:46:46.000 And so they just made my job title a director.

00:46:48.000 Give you a name tag that says director on it.

00:46:50.000 And I was like, doesn't director have like some kind of managerial implications?

00:46:53.000 And they were like, yeah, but you won't have any staff, so it won't matter.

00:46:56.000 And I was like, yeah, let's go.

00:46:57.000 So it won't matter.

00:46:58.000 Yeah.

00:46:59.000 But there's a lot of these companies work because when you say that, like, I was a director of Insert Project for a couple years, they go, oh, wow, oh, geez.

00:47:05.000 And so everybody's just lying about their titles.

00:47:08.000 And so then me and my buddies, once we made jokes that our titles were like absolutely insane, like senior vice president of directorial management and overseeing the chief executive suite and like foreign relations.

00:47:19.000 It's for the LinkedIn of it all so they can get their next job.

00:47:21.000 Yeah, these companies don't check that.

00:47:22.000 They don't check that at all.

00:47:24.000 Yeah, there was some big scandal where people, a guy using AI to create a resume.

00:47:29.000 And it was like getting picked up.

00:47:31.000 Because they use AI to search through all the resumes to pick who it was, he exploited their AI. And what he did was he made a resume and then took all of the buzzwords that were required by the algorithm and put them in white text, super tiny in the bottom corner.

00:47:49.000 So when the resume was scanned by the company's AI, it saw all of the words it was programmed to look for and brought his resume to the top.

00:47:57.000 And said he was the best candidate, and the company was like, the program says he's the guy, and that he just gamed the system.

00:48:04.000 Yeah, people are doing that with their websites.

00:48:05.000 If you don't want your website harvested from AI or Google search results, they'll hide an F-bomb in it so it doesn't get picked up.

00:48:12.000 Let's jump to this next story, ladies and gentlemen.

00:48:14.000 We have a tweet from Doge.

00:48:17.000 It simply says, unburdened by what has been.

00:48:20.000 Can't stop waiting.

00:48:21.000 And it is before U.S. Agency for International Development and an after.

00:48:25.000 And the sign has been removed.

00:48:27.000 We have this video here.

00:48:30.000 And wokeness says, directly into my veins.

00:48:32.000 And it is a man on a cherry picker removing the title from the building.

00:48:37.000 And you can see that the name has been removed from the building, I guess, what do you call it?

00:48:42.000 Like, sign, I guess?

00:48:44.000 Yeah.

00:48:46.000 USA Today says, USAID signs pulled from HQ as judge puts limited block on Trump bid to dismantle agency.

00:48:53.000 Well, I'm pretty sure he already did.

00:48:55.000 So they can, the judges can do all of this stuff, but Trump can move at lightning speed.

00:48:59.000 And you know what?

00:49:00.000 I'm here for it.

00:49:01.000 When Cuomo was shutting down churches and they sued and the judge said, you can't do that, he went, okay, crumbled up the executive order, signed another one and said, sue that.

00:49:08.000 And it's not literally what he did, but that's what he was doing.

00:49:12.000 So even though the judges were like, this is unconstitutional, he says, I can sign an executive order faster than you can sue me.

00:49:18.000 So if that's the game they want to play and Trump is doing it to shut down the deep state slush fund.

00:49:23.000 Then, okay.

00:49:25.000 Look, I said this before.

00:49:27.000 I'm not going to cry when the Democrats, they said this my whole life.

00:49:33.000 Oh, if we stop them from doing insert thing, one day they'll use this against us.

00:49:37.000 It was a big deal with the filibuster.

00:49:39.000 They were like, oh, they got rid of the filibuster.

00:49:41.000 It's going to come back to bite them.

00:49:42.000 And I'm like, so Democrats do evil thing.

00:49:45.000 And the response is, but if we stop evil thing, maybe in the future evil thing will happen to us.

00:49:49.000 And I'm like, but they're literally doing it right now.

00:49:52.000 If we don't stop them from using USAID, or it's like if we use the force of government to shut down USAID, when they get in power, they'll do something.

00:50:01.000 And I'm like, they are using this machine of evil to destroy our lives.

00:50:07.000 And you're worried about the evil that may come after the evil destroys us.

00:50:12.000 Republicans have suffered from this historically, not using the power they get when they win their election.

00:50:17.000 Yeah, they're terrified.

00:50:18.000 Yeah, they're terrified.

00:50:18.000 They're terrified to use their power whenever they're in office because there's a media apparatus that will frame every single thing they do in the worst possible light, which is how they've changed, at least in the past, before the internet, how they framed public perception of them as this inherently evil party because every time they say, They do exactly to them what you're accused of doing, which is what the left has done for a long time.

00:50:40.000 So Republicans are afraid to do it back because they feel like they're going to get labeled a certain way, which then they do by press that's in cahoots with Democrat donors and organizations.

00:50:51.000 And they never use their power and they always snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

00:50:56.000 Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

00:50:58.000 Well, Trump ain't – No, no.

00:50:59.000 Trump is like, I'm going to burn it down.

00:51:02.000 It's because he doesn't care, right?

00:51:04.000 That's the whole point.

00:51:05.000 And people have been looking forward to this.

00:51:06.000 We were talking about Seamus's sketch yesterday where he's playing the video where like, Trump did this.

00:51:11.000 Aren't you sad you voted Republican?

00:51:13.000 They're like, no, like, I'm sad.

00:51:15.000 I guess I'm sad for every time I voted for Republican before and they didn't do it.

00:51:19.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:51:20.000 I got to shout out Freedom Tunes.

00:51:22.000 It's all of these leftists.

00:51:23.000 There's a guy in a MAGA hat.

00:51:24.000 And they're like, oh, no, Trump is deporting tons of people.

00:51:28.000 You must regret your vote now.

00:51:30.000 And he's like, no, I'm actually pretty happy about it.

00:51:32.000 And then they throw up some more things.

00:51:34.000 And they're like, I bet you regret voting Republican now.

00:51:37.000 And he goes, well, now that I know it's possible to do this, I regret voting for every other Republican.

00:51:42.000 But here's I don't want to ruin the punchline, but the ending.

00:51:46.000 Is masterfully done.

00:51:48.000 You need to go to Freedom Tunes and watch the one because the twist ending.

00:51:53.000 I'm not going to spoil it. 0.75

00:51:55.000 You're going to laugh your ass off.

00:51:57.000 The way that people are behaving towards the government, I think it really speaks to the different way that people kind of conceive of the government. 0.74

00:52:11.000 Trump's going after everything because he doesn't think anything of the government's sacred.

00:52:15.000 It's all just...

00:52:17.000 Is it functional or is it not functional?

00:52:20.000 Is it fit for purpose or is it not fit for purpose?

00:52:23.000 Just because it's a part of the government doesn't mean it's sacred.

00:52:28.000 The people on the left...

00:52:29.000 Now granted, there are some that are worried about their pocketbooks, right?

00:52:33.000 The USAID is just a slush fund.

00:52:36.000 It's a money laundering scheme.

00:52:39.000 There are...

00:52:40.000 Out of all the stuff that I've heard that Doge has focused on, there is absolutely nothing that it does that is necessary for the United States.

00:52:51.000 Absolutely nothing.

00:52:52.000 And it spends $50 billion a year, if I understand correctly.

00:52:57.000 David Sachs was talking about it.

00:52:58.000 I was listening to the All In podcast this morning.

00:53:00.000 And David Sachs was talking about the amount of money that...

00:53:03.000 The USAID spent was $50 billion a year.

00:53:07.000 That's a lot of money.

00:53:08.000 And there is nothing that it needs, like nothing that it does that sounds, to me, at all necessary.

00:53:16.000 So the idea that this is some kind of sacred cow is held on the left.

00:53:24.000 There are people that are knee-jerk reactions, that have a knee-jerk reaction to it, and then there are people that are actually getting rich off of it.

00:53:30.000 If you drive to Washington, D.C. from here, you'll go through a part of Virginia where Langley is.

00:53:40.000 There's one of the routes that will take you literally right by the entrance to the CIA headquarters.

00:53:45.000 There are literal palaces.

00:53:48.000 Oh, bro.

00:53:49.000 There are some of the most opulent and extravagant homes that I've ever seen in my life.

00:53:55.000 And I've been to Calabasas.

00:53:58.000 I've been to Pacific Palisades in California.

00:54:01.000 I've hung out with wealthy producers and wealthy rock stars.

00:54:06.000 And I've seen Kanye's house.

00:54:09.000 I haven't seen Kanye's house.

00:54:11.000 There's a gate in Calabasas where the Kardashians live.

00:54:14.000 But either way, I've seen...

00:54:16.000 I've seen the neighborhood, right?

00:54:18.000 I've seen the beautiful homes out there.

00:54:21.000 And the homes in and around Langley, Virginia, are literal palaces.

00:54:28.000 They are absolute.

00:54:29.000 They're totally opulent, totally extravagant.

00:54:32.000 And all of that money is being extracted from the U.S. taxpayers.

00:54:37.000 Not just that.

00:54:38.000 I mean, you've got Tyson's.

00:54:39.000 Yep.

00:54:39.000 You've got, what's the name?

00:54:41.000 Is it Potomac?

00:54:43.000 You've got Reston.

00:54:44.000 It's beautiful.

00:54:45.000 Just go driving to D.C. You go through the wine country here, and there's all these vineyards that are privately owned by people that likely made their money in Washington, D.C. That was actually something I thought was interesting to bring up.

00:55:00.000 I was going to say, what was interesting was that you go through a lot of them.

00:55:03.000 Right?

00:55:03.000 So when you go through farmland, there were Trump signs everywhere.

00:55:07.000 When you go through vineyards, there were Biden-Harris signs on every single one of the entrances.

00:55:12.000 Absolutely.

00:55:13.000 Yep.

00:55:14.000 You know, I mean, the small houses in that area are, you know, one, two million dollars.

00:55:21.000 Oh, man.

00:55:22.000 A two million dollar home, that's a nice house.

00:55:25.000 Yep.

00:55:25.000 You know, and they're...

00:55:26.000 They're big houses, and they're in a neighborhood, but they've got a decent amount of land between their houses.

00:55:31.000 You know, they're on probably three, four acre lots, but they're gorgeous.

00:55:36.000 I heard they're building a casino in Tyson's.

00:55:39.000 Bro, anybody who's been to the D.C. area, go to the Tyson's Galleria.

00:55:44.000 And so, I think that's the place, right?

00:55:47.000 A mall out there?

00:55:48.000 Yeah, but it's not a mall for any regular human being.

00:55:51.000 No.

00:55:51.000 I was like, where's the greasy cheeseburger hole in the wall?

00:55:54.000 And it's like everything is like designer handbags.

00:55:56.000 There is a Brunswick downstairs, and that was fun.

00:56:00.000 But it's the best Brunswick I've ever been to.

00:56:02.000 Yeah.

00:56:02.000 Bowling and pizza.

00:56:03.000 And they have all the fun games.

00:56:05.000 They have the arcade acts throwing.

00:56:06.000 But, you know, we were like, let's go to the mall.

00:56:08.000 And we went there, and I was like, there's nothing of use in this mall.

00:56:11.000 It's just like all super high-end, expensive clothes and bags.

00:56:14.000 Who comes here?

00:56:15.000 Yeah, it's just weird.

00:56:17.000 Politicians and lobbyists.

00:56:18.000 That's who goes there.

00:56:19.000 Yeah, man.

00:56:20.000 Reston's beautiful, too.

00:56:21.000 These areas are—look, man, we went to Reston to get food, and in City Center, they were doing a Disney musical singing thing where, like, there were a bunch of people all sitting in this beautiful park.

00:56:36.000 It's very well kept.

00:56:37.000 Everything is clean.

00:56:38.000 There's no litter.

00:56:39.000 And then they were singing Disney songs, and it was some of the best singing I've ever heard.

00:56:43.000 And I was just like, this is the capital of the Hunger Games.

00:56:46.000 Yeah. 0.95

00:56:47.000 This is where they strip the money from the working class and fuel their ridiculous, opulent lives. 1.00

00:56:53.000 I love that word, by the way, Phil. 0.89

00:56:54.000 Good choice of words.

00:56:55.000 Thank you.

00:56:57.000 My ex-wife used to work in Tyson's when she worked for Palantir. 0.79

00:57:04.000 The offices are gorgeous, and they have catering all the time, and they had this big Lego Death Star, and it was this whole nerds with endless money.

00:57:17.000 And it's in this beautiful office building, and all the malls around are gorgeous, and that's just in the business area.

00:57:25.000 The houses out there, it's ridiculous how gorgeous these things are.

00:57:29.000 And again, this is all money extracted from the American people.

00:57:36.000 Loudoun County, baby!

00:57:37.000 Yeah, Loudoun County.

00:57:38.000 And a lot of the people who work for the weapons companies are all out there as well.

00:57:42.000 Yeah, you know, I honestly, this is going to sound a little, this is actually going to sound neoconny, but I have less hate for the people that contract with DOD than I do with people that are working with USAID.

00:57:56.000 Because USAID is pushing an ideology.

00:57:58.000 At least the people that are working with DOD and contracting with DOD, at the very least there is a constitutional mandate for the federal government to defend the country.

00:58:10.000 Also think of what you were saying about how- There's no federal mandate for trans- The anger that you said that people are feeling for tearing down USAID because the people on the left do have this...

00:58:22.000 They treat the government as a savior to them.

00:58:26.000 And that's why they were in a lot of ways so offended by what happened on January 6th because they felt that their cathedral was actually being attacked because they see the government as above all else.

00:58:37.000 And if you start looking at it that way, you start to understand why their mania for government is so strong.

00:58:44.000 McLean, Virginia.

00:58:47.000 I don't want to pull these up because I'm looking up Zillow.

00:58:50.000 Where's the mall out there with Medieval Times?

00:58:52.000 That one's good.

00:58:53.000 I don't want to show Medieval Times.

00:58:55.000 That one's for me.

00:58:57.000 I have the mall with Medieval Times?

00:58:59.000 Yeah.

00:58:59.000 That's just in...

00:59:00.000 No, no, that's what you call it.

00:59:03.000 I forget that town name.

00:59:05.000 Arendelle Mills or whatever?

00:59:06.000 That's my tax bracket.

00:59:07.000 I can afford that.

00:59:09.000 But that place is amazing.

00:59:10.000 Medieval Times is massive.

00:59:12.000 And it's around rather than up.

00:59:14.000 It's crazy.

00:59:15.000 Yeah, but, like, that mall is ridiculously massive.

00:59:17.000 There's also the Maryland Live, and then there's Dave& Buster's, and there's, you know, Bass Pro Shops.

00:59:23.000 It's an insanely massive shopping center.

00:59:25.000 It's always super packed.

00:59:26.000 They got great Korean barbecue.

00:59:28.000 I love Korean barbecue.

00:59:30.000 It's the best thing ever.

00:59:31.000 It is.

00:59:31.000 It's like they bring you raw meat, and they're like, it cooks in front of you, and then you eat it, and I'm like, so I'll say no more.

00:59:35.000 Like, I don't need anything special.

00:59:37.000 They don't come over, and they do the pepper, you know, and it's nothing fancy.

00:59:41.000 Although the kimchi is pretty good.

00:59:43.000 Man, I'm looking at the...

00:59:45.000 I remember driving through, I think it was McLean, and just...

00:59:48.000 It's crazy because I'm driving past all these houses as we're driving back from D.C., and I'm just thinking to myself, what does this person do to afford such a house?

01:00:00.000 It is insanity to me.

01:00:03.000 It's genuinely crazy. 0.97

01:00:05.000 Transsexual drum lessons in Africa.

01:00:07.000 Anyone that's watching, if you want, you can go ahead and just like, you can go into Google Maps and look at Langley, Virginia.

01:00:14.000 You can bring up, you can see the CIA headquarters.

01:00:17.000 Look at the houses surrounding it.

01:00:18.000 Look at the absolute monstrosities that are around the CIA headquarters.

01:00:24.000 They're gigantic.

01:00:26.000 You know, a couple miles around.

01:00:28.000 Is Langley...

01:00:29.000 Its own city, or is that McLean?

01:00:30.000 I think it's...

01:00:31.000 I'm not...

01:00:31.000 Actually, I'm not sure.

01:00:32.000 I typed Langley into Zillow, and it pulls up McLean.

01:00:36.000 That could be it, then.

01:00:39.000 No, I don't think that's where Langley is, is it?

01:00:41.000 That's further south, I thought.

01:00:44.000 I don't know.

01:00:45.000 Whatever.

01:00:45.000 All I know is the wealthiest places in the world surround D.C., and they ain't building cars.

01:00:50.000 Nope.

01:00:51.000 No, they're doing...

01:00:52.000 No, they're taking your money. 0.61

01:00:53.000 Yeah.

01:00:54.000 They're taking your money.

01:00:55.000 Indeed.

01:00:56.000 Here's a $40 million house.

01:00:58.000 Oh, my God.

01:00:59.000 They're taking your money and not giving it to people in Hawaii or North Carolina.

01:01:03.000 Let me tell you a story, right?

01:01:05.000 So the story of the castle, our first studio, was that the family that lived, it used to be a very small, like, two-bedroom house, and there was a fire.

01:01:16.000 And so this is what they told us.

01:01:18.000 They got insurance money, and then with the insurance money...

01:01:21.000 They built a massive house, a 10,000 square foot house, and then instantly regretted building just a massive house and then sold it and moved.

01:01:30.000 And, you know, so I asked one of the family members, what was wrong with you guys, a family of five and a 10,000 square foot house?

01:01:39.000 I mean, it sounds like a lot of space.

01:01:40.000 And they said the wife would be upstairs and yell to the kids and they couldn't hear her.

01:01:46.000 So she'd walk around this 10,000 square foot property trying to find out where the kids were, and she couldn't find out where they were, and she got really frustrated and annoyed.

01:01:53.000 Not to mention, if you don't go into one part of the house and a pipe bursts, and you don't notice it because you haven't gone in there in three days, when you're in a small house, you notice these things.

01:02:02.000 You go to the basement, do your laundry, pipe bursts, you're like, uh-oh.

01:02:04.000 You go back upstairs to the kitchen.

01:02:05.000 But they ended up building this big house, regretted it, and said, we can't live like this.

01:02:09.000 And I'm like, I learned that lesson a long time ago.

01:02:12.000 I rented a big house.

01:02:14.000 I think it would be really cool to have a big house and a big property.

01:02:16.000 And then one of the rooms had a bunch of spiders, cobwebs, dirt, garbage. 0.86

01:02:20.000 And I was like, yo, this sucks. 0.77

01:02:22.000 Just sealed the room forever.

01:02:24.000 Yeah, so now my house right now is like 1,500 square feet.

01:02:27.000 I'm like, I don't want to live in a big house.

01:02:30.000 So I look at these mansions.

01:02:31.000 People need to understand about these mansions.

01:02:32.000 Like I'm looking at one in McLean right now.

01:02:33.000 It's $40 million.

01:02:34.000 It's 14,000 square feet.

01:02:35.000 You legit need a staff.

01:02:37.000 You need to hire a house of that size.

01:02:39.000 It's probably going to need two or three people.

01:02:41.000 Because you need it to be checked every day.

01:02:45.000 Someone's going to have to go with a checklist into every room every day to make sure that the window didn't break, the window sealed, bugs didn't get in, and it's going to cost you.

01:02:55.000 That's a salary.

01:02:56.000 And the reason I have more than one is because people need days off, and they can only work in the morning.

01:03:00.000 Or they can only work an eight-hour shift.

01:03:02.000 They're not going to work 16 hours a day.

01:03:04.000 You can maybe have someone live in service, and then they live there, and you're hoping that by living there.

01:03:10.000 So I'm just wondering, What kind of person wants to live that way?

01:03:14.000 I just don't get it.

01:03:15.000 That's crazy to me.

01:03:16.000 When I see these houses in Virginia and stuff, I'm like, who would want to live there?

01:03:21.000 The worst part is a lot of them are claiming living in a life of public service.

01:03:25.000 They're attached to government, which means you shouldn't.

01:03:29.000 It's awful.

01:03:31.000 The idea that some of the most lucrative jobs in the world are in...

01:03:39.000 Somehow connected to the government?

01:03:41.000 That's a bad thing.

01:03:42.000 Well, you know, I went to Wellington, New Zealand.

01:03:47.000 I think that's the name of it.

01:03:49.000 And when I asked the locals, so, like, what's the industry of Wellington?

01:03:53.000 They said government.

01:03:54.000 The only reason the city exists is because they tax the people in Auckland and then use the money to set up Wellington.

01:03:59.000 Like Chicago.

01:04:00.000 Is that what Chicago is?

01:04:01.000 It's all government.

01:04:02.000 Everybody works government.

01:04:03.000 Oh, wow.

01:04:04.000 Raising the tax dollars.

01:04:06.000 What does Chicago produce? 0.79

01:04:11.000 A long time ago, they produced organized crime.

01:04:14.000 Yeah, but I mean, Chicago is part of the Rust Belt.

01:04:17.000 So I think it's a great question that y'all out there can ask.

01:04:20.000 If you ever go to a city, ask what the city's industry is and where does the money come from.

01:04:23.000 Someone brought up the other day that there's not a lot of famous people that live in Chicago.

01:04:28.000 I think Barstool is in Chicago now, right?

01:04:30.000 Yeah, there's probably a lot of shipping so you can get into the Great Lakes and then that stuff can kind of...

01:04:36.000 Get through the Midwest that way.

01:04:39.000 So I think that there's probably imports and exports and shipping and stuff like that.

01:04:43.000 I don't know exactly.

01:04:44.000 That's why there's so many toll roads.

01:04:45.000 I would say 15, 20 years ago and before, Chicago being a very large city but still isolated from the ports was culturally limited.

01:04:55.000 And so most of the people that I knew from Chicago wanted to get out as soon as possible.

01:05:00.000 The funny thing about Chicago is it's a very big city.

01:05:03.000 And there are things that are famous in Chicago that are famous nowhere else, and it's weird to me.

01:05:08.000 I remember growing up in Chicago.

01:05:11.000 I leave.

01:05:13.000 I go all over.

01:05:14.000 I remember I went to New York for the first time, and I went to a bodega, and I said, can I get a roast beef and cheddar with giardiniera?

01:05:21.000 And the guy was like, and what?

01:05:23.000 And I was like, roast beef and cheddar sub with giardiniera.

01:05:26.000 And he's like, sub? 0.96

01:05:28.000 And I was like, a sub?

01:05:29.000 And he's like, we don't have that.

01:05:30.000 And I was like, a long sandwich?

01:05:32.000 He goes, a hero?

01:05:33.000 And I was like, yeah.

01:05:34.000 Okay, roast beef and cheddar hero with giardiniera.

01:05:36.000 And he goes, bro, I don't know what that word is.

01:05:38.000 And I was like, what?

01:05:40.000 And then I asked everybody, it was like being in the Twilight Zone.

01:05:43.000 In Chicago, every store everywhere serves giardiniera.

01:05:47.000 And you get on your pizza, you get on your sandwiches, and it's the best thing ever.

01:05:50.000 Then you leave Chicago.

01:05:51.000 There are a bunch of bands that are famous in Chicago that no one's ever heard of.

01:05:54.000 It's an isolated little space.

01:05:56.000 But what's changed now, Chicago's become very viable in the internet era.

01:06:01.000 It doesn't matter where you live anymore.

01:06:02.000 As long as you got good internet.

01:06:04.000 So I think Barstool is in Chicago now because you probably get cheap rates.

01:06:08.000 The problem I would have, because I would love, the Chicagoland area is actually really great.

01:06:13.000 O'Hare is a major travel hub and it's easy to access from single flights.

01:06:18.000 Whereas if you go to a smaller city, you have to buy, you know, it's going to have to be a connecting flight for most people.

01:06:23.000 With Chicago, it's a hub. 0.94

01:06:25.000 The problem with Chicago is it's basically as corrupt as corrupt can be. 0.92

01:06:29.000 One of the most corrupt places I've ever been to. 0.82

01:06:32.000 They have the police operate black sites.

01:06:35.000 They will they will like they will wrongfully arrest arrest you. 0.52

01:06:40.000 And famously, in Chicago, there's a guy who would electrocute people into false confessions.

01:06:45.000 And rest assured, even if you are famous and well known.

01:06:49.000 They'll plant drugs on you and destroy your life.

01:06:51.000 It is deeply corrupt, and I would stay that away from that city.

01:06:54.000 It's like North Minneapolis when all the stuff that was going on with George Floyd.

01:06:58.000 I'm like, yeah, that was bad, but Minneapolis cops have been corrupt for years, so that's not shocking to me.

01:07:04.000 And Minnesota's kind of the same way.

01:07:05.000 There's a lot of major, like Target is located in the Twin Cities, or 3M, and the city I grew up in was Woodbury, so they put 3M in East St. Paul, but nobody who came there to work wanted to work.

01:07:18.000 So just to clarify, Barstool's headquarters is New York, but they have a significant presence in Chicago, like particularly significant, which I wish Chicago was not corrupt.

01:07:44.000 It's never going to happen.

01:07:44.000 Not in our lifetime.

01:07:46.000 Oh, yeah.

01:07:47.000 Deeply racially segregated.

01:07:49.000 Like, bro, where I grew up, you cross Cicero and, like, everything's Hispanic.

01:07:56.000 You cross 47th, everything's black. 0.98

01:07:58.000 It's like, the white people live here, the Latinos are here, and the black people are here, and you can't cross the line. 0.95

01:08:04.000 Now, the funny thing is, crossing Cicero, this would be to the east, going west to east. 0.94

01:08:10.000 Nobody really cared.

01:08:12.000 None of the Latinos, the Hispanics, the migrants had any problem with white people or Asians or even black people. 0.94

01:08:20.000 You'd go there. 0.89

01:08:21.000 You'd go to the restaurants.

01:08:22.000 It was totally fine. 0.87

01:08:22.000 But crossing 47th to the north into the black neighborhoods, you're going to get beat up or you're going to get arrested or detained. 0.87

01:08:34.000 The cops would drive up, grab you, and say, there's no reason for a person. 0.93

01:08:39.000 Latino, Asian, or white person to be in a black neighborhood, you must be buying drugs. 1.00

01:08:43.000 That's legit what would happen every time. 0.96

01:08:46.000 Almost nobody would ever cross. 0.58

01:08:48.000 However, if the black people from that neighborhood, and I'm not talking about regular people, I'm saying if like criminal elements of either side, if a criminal gangbanger on the Latino side went to the black neighborhood, the cops stop it immediately.

01:09:01.000 However...

01:09:02.000 If the black criminal elements would go from the racially segregated area to the north into the other areas, the cops were like, we can't do anything about it because we'll be called racist.

01:09:10.000 So you had this really weird, racist, racially segregated dynamic in the city. 0.93

01:09:14.000 It's a crazy way to grow up, man. 0.96

01:09:15.000 The black community is getting frustrated with their mayor, though, because Chicago is a black mayor now. 0.99

01:09:20.000 Lightfoot's out, right? 0.98

01:09:21.000 And the new guy's arguably worse.

01:09:23.000 I was watching, my father still lives in Chicago, and he sent me this video from a city council meeting. 0.87

01:09:29.000 And this black woman gets up, and she's like, Just lighting into the mirror because they're upset that all their funding and everything is going to illegals. 0.94

01:09:37.000 It's going to Hispanics. 1.00

01:09:38.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:09:39.000 Right?

01:09:40.000 And so they're furious with it.

01:09:41.000 She called him the N-word at a same time.

01:09:42.000 Whoa! 0.71

01:09:43.000 I was like, whoa, this is insane.

01:09:45.000 Right?

01:09:46.000 They were screaming, we are being replaced.

01:09:49.000 They were protesting, chanting that they were being replaced.

01:09:51.000 And it was funny because I don't know if Tucker commented on it, but we talked about it when it happened.

01:09:55.000 And I was like, I thought when Tucker...

01:09:57.000 Said Americans were being replaced by illegal immigrants. 0.78

01:10:00.000 They called him racist. 0.97

01:10:00.000 But now you have the black community in Chicago saying it. 0.97

01:10:04.000 Where's the corporate press?

01:10:05.000 Come on.

01:10:06.000 Call him racist. 0.99

01:10:06.000 Call him white supremacist. 0.99

01:10:07.000 Call it a conspiracy theory.

01:10:09.000 But I'll tell you what's really crazy.

01:10:10.000 I don't know if you saw this.

01:10:11.000 If you take a look at the district map by how they voted and put it next to a racial demographic map, people in Chicago, probably 80%, voted for their candidate based on their race.

01:10:24.000 That's just it.

01:10:25.000 That's the only reason.

01:10:26.000 You see that everywhere.

01:10:27.000 There was only one area of Chicago that didn't vote for the...

01:10:32.000 Okay.

01:10:34.000 Each area of Chicago, the racial majority district voted for the candidate who matched their race.

01:10:44.000 One neighborhood did not do this.

01:10:47.000 What neighborhood do you think it was?

01:10:49.000 White neighborhood.

01:10:50.000 Which one?

01:10:51.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:10:51.000 Loyola.

01:10:52.000 The North...

01:10:54.000 Young college area near Loyola, which is predominantly white, voted for Brandon Johnson.

01:10:59.000 And so when you look at the voting map in Chicago, the Latino, the Hispanic neighborhood, voted for the Hispanic candidate.

01:11:05.000 The white neighborhoods voted for the white candidate. 0.84

01:11:07.000 And the black neighborhoods voted for the black candidate. 0.96

01:11:09.000 And there's no escaping that that happened. 0.97

01:11:11.000 You can make up any reason you want, it literally happened.

01:11:15.000 Except Loyola, where it's largely young white people. 0.85

01:11:18.000 Voted for a black candidate.

01:11:19.000 And that's why you ended up with Brandon Johnson.

01:11:21.000 And you do know that those people think they're better than everyone else because they did that, too.

01:11:26.000 Yeah, they'll brag about it.

01:11:27.000 They'll say, oh, I voted.

01:11:28.000 Yes, I am better than you because I didn't...

01:11:30.000 I'm not...

01:11:31.000 I do not have a local affinity or whatever.

01:11:35.000 Wasn't there some YouTube video where they took people from every race and they asked them if they felt pride in their race?

01:11:40.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:11:41.000 And the white guy was the only one that was like... 0.68

01:11:43.000 I feel shame for being white, but the Asians, the Mexicans, the blacks, they were all super prideful. 1.00

01:11:49.000 So white people are the only group with a racial out-group preference, and it's predominantly among liberals. 0.81

01:11:56.000 And so this creates a broken pressure system in politics.

01:12:02.000 Look, man, you want to cry about it all day and night?

01:12:05.000 I'm right here with you.

01:12:07.000 It is a bad thing that in Chicago...

01:12:09.000 Every district voted based on race.

01:12:12.000 I think that's a bad thing.

01:12:13.000 I think this is going to lead to racial tensions, racism, racial animosity, all of that stuff.

01:12:19.000 But when you have white liberals with an out-group preference, what's going to happen then is the Asian neighborhoods, the Hispanic neighborhoods, the black neighborhoods are going to have in-group preference, meaning when it comes time to vote, they are going to vote against other racial groups.

01:12:37.000 I'm saying straight up, Latino groups vote.

01:12:39.000 For only their neighborhood and their interests and against black, Asian, white or otherwise. 0.55

01:12:43.000 Every racial group does this and then whites vote against themselves.

01:12:47.000 So who's going to end up on the bottom end of all of these policies? 0.90

01:12:51.000 It's going to be the white people. 0.96

01:12:52.000 And to your point, it's so extreme.

01:12:53.000 In Texas, we have a city in North Dallas, and there was a race, and there was an Asian woman who was a Democrat and an Asian woman who was a Republican. 0.86

01:13:05.000 And the Asian community voted.

01:13:07.000 One was running for mayor, one was running for city council place.

01:13:11.000 And the Asian community voted for both, even though they were completely opposite ideologies.

01:13:16.000 It's because they're Asian. 1.00

01:13:17.000 Right?

01:13:18.000 It's very deep.

01:13:20.000 You know, people say demographics are destiny.

01:13:23.000 Ro Khanna, when he was on the show a couple weeks ago, said that the leftist dream of this multicultural, globalist society failed, and we were wrong.

01:13:30.000 And I was like, whoa!

01:13:31.000 And he said, we thought it was going to lift everybody up and create this utopia, and all it did was gut the working class.

01:13:36.000 And I said...

01:13:37.000 Yes!

01:13:38.000 Like, wow, that's Ro Khai. 0.92

01:13:39.000 He's a Democrat.

01:13:40.000 That's why people were talking about the dangers of critical theory for so long, right?

01:13:44.000 Is that it uniquely attacked white in-group preference because so many white Americans were taught to feel shame about their own background.

01:13:53.000 What an insane reality to live in where, like, look.

01:13:59.000 I don't like any racial supremacists, okay?

01:14:02.000 Like, bro, if you want to come to me and tell me that you think you're better because of your race, I'm going to show you everyone I can of a different race who's more successful than you are.

01:14:10.000 Perseverance is all that matters.

01:14:12.000 You've got people who emigrate from Nigeria, and as they say, like, on average, they make more money and are more successful than your average American of any other race.

01:14:21.000 The argument is...

01:14:22.000 The people from Nigeria who have the merit and the ability and make the money and then can afford to leave are the best, the cream of the crop.

01:14:31.000 They come to this country and they succeed.

01:14:32.000 Clearly, there's no issue with them being black.

01:14:34.000 They found more success than any other race.

01:14:36.000 Which is why legal immigration was actually a unifying factor for a long period of time because when they came to America, they were desirous to move here because they believed in what we stood for and we knew that we were getting the ones that were going to work the hardest to get ahead. 0.83

01:14:51.000 That's why legal immigration is a good thing That's why illegal immigration is a bad thing. 1.00

01:14:56.000 And I partly blame Ronald Reagan for his amnesty.

01:14:59.000 I mean, that dude, it's remarkable.

01:15:01.000 The most overrated.

01:15:02.000 Oh, dude, I can't.

01:15:03.000 Look, I am flabbergasted by these boomer cons who are like, Reagan was the best.

01:15:09.000 And I was like, what about illegal immigration amnesty, no-fault divorce, gun control?

01:15:15.000 I mean, the list goes on.

01:15:16.000 What about all of those things are you happy about?

01:15:18.000 Yeah, and you ask them and their brain breaks.

01:15:20.000 They don't even know how to argue.

01:15:21.000 Carter was so bad.

01:15:22.000 And I wasn't alive at the time.

01:15:24.000 But my presumption on all this is Carter was so miserably bad that when Reagan reversed the bad by, I guess, just relative principle, he appeared really good.

01:15:38.000 And so they were like, Reagan was the best.

01:15:40.000 And I'm like...

01:15:41.000 Well, they missed the time, not the actual policies.

01:15:44.000 Right?

01:15:45.000 You know, there's this funny story that I've probably told 800 million times, but there's a...

01:15:50.000 I can't remember which airport it was.

01:15:51.000 It might have been Texas.

01:15:52.000 They thought it'd be really great and convenient if right when you come out of the gate and land, your baggage claim is right there.

01:15:59.000 At DFW, yeah.

01:16:01.000 It was DFW? Yeah.

01:16:03.000 They said, isn't it annoying when you land and you've got to walk across the entire airport to get your bag?

01:16:08.000 Let's just put the baggage claim right there.

01:16:10.000 Guess what happened?

01:16:11.000 People got off their plane, stood next to the baggage claim, had to wait 10 or 15 minutes, and started complaining.

01:16:16.000 Saying, why is it taking so long to get my bags?

01:16:18.000 And they were like, because the bags have to come to the thing.

01:16:20.000 So they figured out the solution.

01:16:21.000 The solution was, they moved the baggage claim to the other side of the airport.

01:16:24.000 So it took you 10 minutes to walk there, but then your bags were coming out right when you got there.

01:16:28.000 It's still like that, though, a little bit.

01:16:30.000 I mean, you know, I'll land and then, yeah, you're waiting around.

01:16:32.000 You're on your phone waiting.

01:16:33.000 It's true.

01:16:34.000 But like you land, like when I was coming here, you land and, you know, the baggage claim is like super far.

01:16:39.000 And you're busy.

01:16:40.000 You're walking.

01:16:40.000 You're checking your phone.

01:16:41.000 You're making a phone call.

01:16:42.000 So you don't realize that you've been waiting because you're moving.

01:16:44.000 You're doing something in between.

01:16:45.000 And so that's the issue.

01:16:47.000 That when it comes to someone like Reagan, things were so bad that when it got kind of a little bit better, they were like, he's the greatest president ever.

01:16:55.000 Also, there was a lot more American unification at that time.

01:16:58.000 The idea of the American dream was still pretty...

01:17:02.000 Intact, and it's just not that anymore, and they long for those times.

01:17:05.000 People struggle to describe what American culture is now.

01:17:08.000 Because, you know, to immigration, people that immigrate here don't immigrate here because we have freedom of speech.

01:17:13.000 They don't, generally.

01:17:14.000 They don't immigrate here because we have gun rights or freedom of press. 0.57

01:17:18.000 They immigrate here because of the economy.

01:17:19.000 Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:17:20.000 Not just the economy.

01:17:22.000 I think Wingstop's better.

01:17:23.000 No, during the caravan.

01:17:26.000 In, like, four years ago, or this is during Trump, I think.

01:17:28.000 Eight years ago now.

01:17:29.000 Well, this particular instance was probably, like, 2019 or something.

01:17:34.000 L.A. Times asked one of the people in the migrant caravan why they were coming to the U.S., and he said, I miss Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:17:40.000 I gotta admit, B-dubs is awesome, bro.

01:17:43.000 It is one of my favorite places.

01:17:44.000 I think Wingstop's a lot better.

01:17:46.000 Wingstop's okay, but I'm a B-dubs guy.

01:17:48.000 I will, I mean...

01:17:50.000 Oh, I love Buffalo Wild Wings.

01:17:52.000 The garlic Parmesan sauce is so good, although it's probably just seed oils.

01:17:55.000 You'd cross a country for it.

01:17:57.000 But Mexico has B-dubs, man. 1.00

01:17:59.000 I made it a point when I went to Mexico City to find a Buffalo Wild Wings, and I did, and it was great.

01:18:04.000 Did it taste the same?

01:18:05.000 Yes.

01:18:06.000 Most of the Wild Wings.

01:18:07.000 Mexico's different, though.

01:18:08.000 It's like KFC, for example.

01:18:09.000 KFC in the U.S. isn't very good, in my opinion.

01:18:11.000 But in Japan, it's amazing.

01:18:13.000 Yes.

01:18:13.000 Did you have the corn ice cream?

01:18:16.000 No, I didn't have that.

01:18:17.000 Yeah, they have corn ice cream in Japan.

01:18:18.000 Everything is amazing in Japan.

01:18:20.000 When All That Remains would go to Japan and tour, you would set up your crew or the band would set up your stuff, and then the local crew would come out with tape measures, and they would measure everything.

01:18:33.000 Everything.

01:18:34.000 Where things are.

01:18:35.000 And if you had, like, two waters and a beer, the next day, when everything was set up again, they would use the tape measures to make sure everything was the same distance, and then the next day you would have two waters and a beer.

01:18:48.000 Like, they are meticulous, because in Japan, it seems like they don't have a phrase for close enough.

01:18:55.000 It's either right or it's wrong.

01:18:57.000 Now, I don't know for sure, but like we were talking earlier about, like, you have to have a concept for it.

01:19:01.000 I think they're just like, it's either right or it's wrong.

01:19:04.000 I'm not sure where I was.

01:19:05.000 It might have been Shibuya, but there was a parking garage, and it is a corridor.

01:19:12.000 There's a big circular space and nothing else, and your car goes on it.

01:19:17.000 You get out, then it spins and goes down, and it then slides your car into a slot.

01:19:25.000 That wouldn't happen here in the US. Somebody would break it day one.

01:19:29.000 They have the janky version in New York.

01:19:32.000 Yeah, where it lifts your car up?

01:19:34.000 That's crazy.

01:19:35.000 And you're always worried.

01:19:36.000 You ever see the Carvana things?

01:19:37.000 Yeah.

01:19:38.000 Where there's a tower?

01:19:39.000 Yeah, and there's just cars parked all over.

01:19:40.000 It just looks like the most poorly designed thing ever, but it's actually kind of cool looking.

01:19:45.000 Dude, Japan is where it's at. 1.00

01:19:47.000 When I went, I went with Luke, and we went to Tokyo, and then made our way up to Fukushima.

01:19:52.000 And we stopped at some hole-in-the-wall karaoke bar that you are sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with a bunch of Japanese people all just singing songs. 1.00

01:20:01.000 And I sang that song from Aladdin, Whole New World, with this Japanese woman. 1.00

01:20:07.000 Dude, it was amazing.

01:20:08.000 Japan, they know what's up.

01:20:10.000 They're also kind of weird, but it's okay.

01:20:12.000 That's what makes it exciting.

01:20:13.000 Of all the places, I've been, you know, me and Tim has too, but I've been all over the world, and out of all the places that are not America.

01:20:21.000 Japan's my favorite.

01:20:22.000 It's absolutely amazing.

01:20:23.000 The people are great.

01:20:25.000 Everything is...

01:20:26.000 It's like everywhere seems like it's clean.

01:20:29.000 And safe.

01:20:29.000 Yeah.

01:20:30.000 Everywhere feels safe.

01:20:31.000 You don't feel like you're...

01:20:32.000 I mean, you don't feel like you're...

01:20:34.000 That's changing though.

01:20:34.000 Japan's getting fed up with the tourists.

01:20:36.000 Yeah.

01:20:37.000 I'm starting to see that.

01:20:37.000 See all the signs on the...

01:20:39.000 There's a streamer going over there and getting...

01:20:40.000 Causing a problem.

01:20:42.000 Let me tell you about American culture.

01:20:44.000 It's Little League Baseball.

01:20:45.000 It's selling lemonade as a little kid, learning how to be an entrepreneur.

01:20:49.000 It's warm apple pie with a scoop of ice cream.

01:20:53.000 It is Super Bowl Sunday.

01:20:55.000 There are all these woke people saying that white people have no culture and stuff like that.

01:21:00.000 And then you look at all the different cultures, all the different countries around the world, and there are distinct cultural elements of what makes those groups.

01:21:08.000 And it's not white people.

01:21:09.000 Black or otherwise, it's every different demographic that emerged and developed a way of life, built a culture around what they do.

01:21:17.000 This is the food they eat, it's the clothing they wear, it's the music they have, it's the stories they tell.

01:21:22.000 Like, Krampus is not a particularly big element of American culture.

01:21:26.000 If someone asked me, what's American culture?

01:21:28.000 I said Christmas, and then they said Krampus, I'd be like, eh, we make jokes about Krampus, but not really.

01:21:32.000 But I think in Germany, Krampus is big.

01:21:34.000 Is that it?

01:21:35.000 Yeah.

01:21:37.000 Krampus is the guy who mercilessly beats the children, right?

01:21:39.000 They're bad, yeah.

01:21:41.000 Beats them on Christmas?

01:21:43.000 Well, we don't do that here.

01:21:45.000 We have the Grinch, but I don't think he beats children.

01:21:47.000 No, the Grinch, he changed his ways.

01:21:49.000 Oh, that's right.

01:21:50.000 No, Krampus mercilessly beats them, doesn't he?

01:21:54.000 That's what I hear.

01:21:55.000 I mean, I didn't grow up with the stories.

01:21:57.000 But this is my complaint with the illegal immigration stuff.

01:22:00.000 You're right.

01:22:01.000 The migrants aren't coming here because they want...

01:22:04.000 Apple Pie Baseball and Christmas Morning.

01:22:07.000 They're coming here because you can work less for more.

01:22:10.000 That's it.

01:22:10.000 If you want to buy an Apple computer but you're from Brazil, it's going to take you all year to save up to be able to buy because you're importing from a foreign country and these things cost a thousand bucks.

01:22:22.000 But if you live in the United States, you could work at Starbucks and buy an Apple MacBook.

01:22:27.000 Yeah, you'll see like the most poorest, struggling...

01:22:30.000 Immigrant on TV and in their hand they're holding the brand new iPhone. 0.74

01:22:35.000 You mentioned Little League, and I just remember we were skating this ledge over at one of the baseball fields in the suburbs over here, and there's actually the Little League pledge that is on all of their dugouts.

01:22:48.000 It says, I trust in God, I love my country, will respect its laws, I will play fair and strive to win, but win or lose, I will always do my best.

01:22:55.000 I can't believe they even allow that to still be up there saying, trust in God.

01:22:59.000 And that's at local fields over here.

01:23:01.000 I mean, if Kamala won, And wokeness kept expanding.

01:23:05.000 How long until In God We Trust was removed from all the money?

01:23:08.000 Is it even still on money?

01:23:10.000 Yeah, well, I mean, they probably won't have to remove it because it would be just a central bank digital currency.

01:23:18.000 In God, that's right.

01:23:20.000 Yeah.

01:23:20.000 Well, they're getting rid of cash.

01:23:22.000 In God We Trust.

01:23:23.000 What was it?

01:23:24.000 I was watching one of Portnoy's pizza videos.

01:23:26.000 I think this is what he said.

01:23:28.000 They're cash only.

01:23:28.000 Is it mad respect?

01:23:30.000 And he was like cheering him on for doing it.

01:23:32.000 I really like that.

01:23:34.000 I don't mind the idea of using digital currencies.

01:23:39.000 We've been doing it forever with Visa.

01:23:41.000 I think with this administration, with David Sachs being involved in crypto and stuff, and making the administration crypto-friendly, it's possible that...

01:23:52.000 Something like Tether could be used for digital transactions.

01:23:56.000 It's a cryptocurrency, but it's pegged to the dollar.

01:24:00.000 So one Tether is $1.

01:24:03.000 And it would be used without the same kind of fees that you have to pay for Visa and MasterCard and stuff.

01:24:10.000 Because even if you're not paying your...

01:24:14.000 You're paying a finance charge or whatever for your using it as a credit card.

01:24:20.000 There's still a fee to use it.

01:24:22.000 The merchant's getting charged with that.

01:24:23.000 Yeah, something like $3 or whatever.

01:24:24.000 And there's no reason why you can't use cryptocurrencies in the same way because something like Tether can be as fast as Visa or whatever.

01:24:33.000 And that would actually be a safe way to change value.

01:24:37.000 And it would really make...

01:24:39.000 You know, make settlements much faster.

01:24:41.000 You wouldn't have to wire money the way that you have to wire money nowadays.

01:24:44.000 It wouldn't have to be authorized through banks and stuff like that.

01:24:48.000 So I think that that could be a good thing.

01:24:49.000 But that doesn't mean that something like Tether would be different to...

01:24:56.000 A central bank digital currency.

01:24:58.000 On that point, do you remember, was it Amazon that had those grocery stores in the airports and that you would walk in and you'd scan your palm and, like, they advertised that you would just, like, grab what you want, you walk out, and it was, like, automatic.

01:25:10.000 And then people found out it's really just a bunch of people in a call center watching video cameras, like, racking up what you were buying.

01:25:15.000 It wasn't actually as high-tech as they advertised it to be.

01:25:18.000 And their excuse was, oh, we're training it.

01:25:20.000 Yeah, I mean, Indian guys on H1BB's just chilling in the room, just taking away what you picked up in your hands. 1.00

01:25:25.000 It's crazy, but I went to one of those stores in Hollywood as well, and apparently that's what was going on, so your boy's been on camera.

01:25:31.000 It's some Indian guys.

01:25:32.000 Was it airports, or was it just regular?

01:25:35.000 I don't know.

01:25:36.000 I thought it was all Amazon Fresh, in particular Amazon Fresh stores.

01:25:39.000 I mean, I imagine if everything had an RFID... Yeah.

01:25:44.000 7-Eleven has these things now where you take everything that you're buying and you put it on the counter and there's like a camera over it and it scans everything and it like charges you and you walk out.

01:25:52.000 I think that's pretty neat.

01:25:53.000 A lot of places have like...

01:25:54.000 You can just scan it yourself.

01:25:56.000 You can just buy whatever you're buying without going through to a checkout.

01:26:00.000 But this was like, if you're just walking through, and you can pick all the stuff up and pick it up, you apparently were just being watched on camera, I guess.

01:26:06.000 They were saying it was like RFID chips, but it wasn't the case.

01:26:09.000 It was just, you know, camera systems.

01:26:11.000 I imagine that's coming, though.

01:26:12.000 I mean, I do think that people, maybe not today, maybe not now, but in the very near future, that kind of, you know, Monitoring is something that people are going to be very used to.

01:26:25.000 It's easy to just walk by and swipe your phone on whatever.

01:26:30.000 And people have become so accustomed to things happening automatically.

01:26:35.000 I mean, if you own a Tesla, I have gotten out of my Jeep and forgot to turn it off more times than I can count since I got a Tesla.

01:26:43.000 Because I just got out of the Tesla and the phone comes with me and it locks itself.

01:26:46.000 It does it all.

01:26:47.000 I get out of the Jeep and the Jeep's still running in my car.

01:26:49.000 I gotta go back and actually turn it off.

01:26:52.000 Turn off the dinosaur machine, you know?

01:26:54.000 Yeah, it's like that with so many things.

01:26:56.000 Like, we just bought a new car.

01:26:58.000 But, like, my car had the, where you walk away, it just locks itself.

01:27:01.000 You don't have to actually press a button.

01:27:02.000 My wife's car didn't have that. 1.00

01:27:03.000 So I'd constantly leave her car unlocked.

01:27:05.000 I'm like, oh, man.

01:27:06.000 Or, like, the headlights.

01:27:07.000 She had an older car for a long time.

01:27:08.000 We just bought a new one.

01:27:09.000 But, like, I wasn't used to turning on the headlights when I'm driving at night.

01:27:12.000 Like, it just turns on.

01:27:13.000 Yeah.

01:27:14.000 I mean, like I said, I just got a Tesla in November.

01:27:18.000 And I'm already forgetting that I have to turn my other vehicle off.

01:27:23.000 And I imagine in the future, I still like driving my car.

01:27:27.000 Like, I still like driving my Tesla.

01:27:28.000 But there are times when I'll just be like, you know, go home.

01:27:31.000 And I imagine in the future that that'll become something that I do more regularly.

01:27:37.000 Not that, again, not that there's...

01:27:39.000 Like, I like the car.

01:27:41.000 I like driving the car.

01:27:43.000 That's why I drive it.

01:27:45.000 It's not that I, you know, there are a lot of times where I let the automatic driving happen, but it is fun to drive.

01:27:51.000 I just, I like electric cars, nothing against them.

01:27:53.000 I love it and I support it, but I just, I need the sound of an engine.

01:27:57.000 I need, like, I drive a stick.

01:27:59.000 Oh, okay.

01:28:00.000 The analog guy, nice.

01:28:02.000 Yeah, like, Teslas, they just feel so soulless.

01:28:05.000 Like, it's so empty.

01:28:06.000 And the car manufacturers know they're injecting...

01:28:09.000 I think Hyundai's doing this in some of their electric sports cars.

01:28:12.000 You inject fake sound.

01:28:14.000 I think Dodge released an electric charger or Challenger, and it has a speaker on the outside of the car, so when you're driving, it makes fake exhaust.

01:28:24.000 Well, when you put your Tesla in reverse...

01:28:27.000 There's a sound that happens with the Teslas.

01:28:29.000 I think that's a safety regulation.

01:28:30.000 I'm not sure what it may be.

01:28:32.000 If you don't have any sight and you can't see it and you just get blindsided by a Tesla, it doesn't matter if it's self-driving or not, it can definitely happen.

01:28:39.000 I tell you, the difference between the instantaneous acceleration and waiting for an engine to inject the fuel into the engine, spin up and transfer the power to the wheels, I prefer the electric car now.

01:29:00.000 I much prefer the electric car.

01:29:03.000 I feel like you have more options, because if you want to go, you can just go.

01:29:07.000 It's like, I don't know if I have time to get in front of this guy or time to go around him.

01:29:13.000 Now, with the Tesla, it's just like, oh, I want to do this, and I hit the gas, and it goes.

01:29:18.000 There's no question about it.

01:29:19.000 You know, I was just thinking something totally random.

01:29:22.000 With the moves to USAID and the gutting of this funding, Have y'all considered about which stocks are now going to implode first thing Monday morning?

01:29:32.000 Because I'm wondering, I was just reading something on my phone.

01:29:36.000 I was looking at, like, earnings reports and stuff like this, and I was like, some of these companies are like research.

01:29:43.000 They do research and development.

01:29:45.000 They're probably getting grants.

01:29:47.000 The government's probably like, oh, we're going to give you X million dollars to work on this thing.

01:29:50.000 And I'm thinking to myself, like, how does this, like, what is...

01:29:53.000 You know, I don't want to name any companies in particular, but some of them are like biopharmaceutical companies.

01:29:57.000 And I'm like, who is giving them the money for this research?

01:30:01.000 Investors, probably.

01:30:02.000 But how many of them have gotten government grants, which Trump is going to rip to shreds and just be like, stop doing whatever it is you're doing.

01:30:08.000 We're not paying for it anymore.

01:30:09.000 And then all of a sudden, they have to lay off a bunch of staff, can't produce a product, and they're gone.

01:30:14.000 I don't know.

01:30:15.000 What stocks is Nancy Pelosi selling right now? 0.74

01:30:17.000 I mean, there's the...

01:30:18.000 Bro, no joke.

01:30:19.000 The people who follow the Pelosi tracker have made...

01:30:22.000 Bank.

01:30:22.000 She sold NVIDIA right before it tanked?

01:30:25.000 I mean, come on.

01:30:27.000 She knew.

01:30:28.000 So, NVIDIA quote-unquote tanking is relative.

01:30:33.000 My NVIDIA stock is still up like 113%.

01:30:37.000 No, because you bought really early on.

01:30:38.000 Yeah, I bought it a while ago.

01:30:40.000 But yeah, if you're trading the way that there's a Pelosi track or whatever, if you buy what Pelosi buys when she buys it, You are gonna make money.

01:30:52.000 I mean, isn't there a delay on that, right?

01:30:53.000 Because the records aren't available for a period of time.

01:30:56.000 So you're not gonna be buying it at the same time as she's buying them.

01:31:00.000 That could be.

01:31:01.000 I don't know exactly.

01:31:03.000 You got a lot of these products now being hit with these tariffs, though.

01:31:06.000 I saw, like, NVIDIA GPUs were being hit with a tariff.

01:31:09.000 All the pricing went up on those.

01:31:10.000 Yeah, I mean, look, when it comes to things like GPUs and, you know, the semiconductors that Are being made overseas.

01:31:21.000 Our society now runs on those things and to have them to not be able to supply at least supply the United States government.

01:31:33.000 With the semiconductors that it needs to operate, that, in my opinion, is dereliction of duty by the federal government.

01:31:40.000 They should be doing everything they can to make sure that there are companies making the semiconductors that they need for the military and for the government, so that way we don't have to rely on anyone else.

01:31:56.000 We do it with oil.

01:31:58.000 A big part of the reason why we buy oil from other people is because we have reserves here and we have untapped reserves in the U.S. that we don't want to use up.

01:32:09.000 Just in case of an emergency.

01:32:11.000 If something happens and we have to get oil here, we can do it.

01:32:15.000 We have oil reserves here and they're untapped or they're not being really depleted the way that they could be.

01:32:23.000 Weren't they doing that right before the election, though?

01:32:25.000 They were tapping those to get the prices down?

01:32:27.000 I think Biden did that, right?

01:32:28.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:32:29.000 He bragged about it.

01:32:30.000 He was like, oh, gas has gone lower.

01:32:31.000 And it's like, yeah.

01:32:32.000 We understand why.

01:32:34.000 Which is also totally and completely irresponsible.

01:32:38.000 Mm-hmm.

01:32:39.000 Because he covered all of our emergency reserves when we could have needed them, and who knows what could have happened at that time, and he depleted all of that.

01:32:43.000 I remember watching the prices in Hollywood of my local gas station go up to like $7.95 when I was leaving, and then it dropped back down again when he sold all that stuff off, and then sure enough, you know, I forget however many months later, eventually it went back up again, you know?

01:32:55.000 And the media won't call this out, right?

01:32:57.000 Yeah, of course.

01:32:57.000 They'll say you're lying.

01:32:59.000 It never happened.

01:32:59.000 What are you talking about?

01:33:01.000 Well, some of the media is getting that USAID money.

01:33:04.000 A lot of the media is getting that USAID money.

01:33:06.000 I haven't gotten any of that.

01:33:07.000 I hope to get some soon.

01:33:08.000 Or they hit you with the president doesn't control the price of gas.

01:33:11.000 Right.

01:33:12.000 Yeah, which, I mean, he doesn't, but...

01:33:15.000 And now, like, eggs going up in price are Trump's fault for some reason?

01:33:19.000 I don't know.

01:33:20.000 The fact that the media is just a propaganda arm for the Democrats.

01:33:25.000 Now, it's like, there was a time where you would make that argument, oh, well, the left-wing bias, right?

01:33:31.000 For a long time, it was considered bias.

01:33:33.000 Oh, they're just biased.

01:33:34.000 They all live in cities, so they're biased.

01:33:38.000 That ship has sailed.

01:33:39.000 It is not biased.

01:33:41.000 It is straight-up left-wing propaganda.

01:33:44.000 It is not about, oh, well, you know, the context that these reporters live in is urban, so they're going to have a city-based kind of opinion, or they're going to be a little pro-government because that's the world that they live in.

01:33:58.000 So if they weren't, it's because of the context.

01:34:02.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:34:03.000 These people are on the take from the government.

01:34:07.000 The government buys their product at $10,000 a month or whatever it is, and it is absolutely propaganda.

01:34:16.000 I just want to let everybody know that before we go to Super Chats, yesterday, for the first time ever, I put butter on a Pop-Tart.

01:34:26.000 How was it?

01:34:26.000 It was amazing.

01:34:28.000 So I was watching Family Guy recently, and he was singing a song about how he once put butter on a Pop-Tart, and then Allison and I thought, That's probably actually very good.

01:34:38.000 He's not wrong. 0.53

01:34:39.000 And we grabbed some Pop-Tarts from a vending machine, and indeed we buttered them.

01:34:43.000 And it was incredible.

01:34:45.000 Thus, today, I have purchased 1,200 Pop-Tarts.

01:34:51.000 Which kind?

01:34:52.000 All different kinds.

01:34:53.000 All of them.

01:34:54.000 Largely fruit.

01:34:55.000 Is butter bad on anything?

01:34:56.000 No, butters, you just eat.

01:34:58.000 Well, by itself, maybe, I don't know.

01:35:00.000 I don't know if I'd want it.

01:35:01.000 But you can put it on anything.

01:35:02.000 You know what I tried?

01:35:04.000 You go to a good steakhouse, you butter your steak.

01:35:06.000 I tried soy sauce on ice cream.

01:35:08.000 What?

01:35:08.000 It's a special type of soy sauce, I swear.

01:35:10.000 And it was amazing.

01:35:11.000 I almost brought it.

01:35:12.000 Oh, wow.

01:35:13.000 It was really good.

01:35:14.000 But just so everyone knows, I do not intend to eat 1,200 Pop-Tarts.

01:35:19.000 I just bought them because we have, you know, 30-plus people here.

01:35:23.000 I will hoard them.

01:35:24.000 And, you know, Allison was like, oh, my God, what are you doing?

01:35:27.000 And I was like, Allison, these are going to be gone in a month.

01:35:28.000 Yeah.

01:35:29.000 I was like, you got 30 people, and then we've got 30 days.

01:35:34.000 So we're talking about 30 Pop-Tarts a day getting destroyed, and that's just one, and it's two per pack.

01:35:40.000 These things are going to be gone.

01:35:41.000 She didn't see the vision, the Pop-Tart vision.

01:35:43.000 I know!

01:35:44.000 And then I was like, what you do is you take...

01:35:46.000 Two s'mores Pop-Tarts and you put a cookies and cream in the middle.

01:35:51.000 You make a Pop-Tart sandwich.

01:35:52.000 My favorite are the cinnamon and sugar.

01:35:55.000 They're very good.

01:35:57.000 I don't actually intend to eat a lot of them.

01:35:58.000 I just thought it would be funny because we actually were running out of snacks and so I was like, well, you know, we're going to have to reorder.

01:36:04.000 Because we usually, not only do we have a lot of staff that come through here, but guests and then guests bring family and friends.

01:36:10.000 So normally we have chips, we have...

01:36:12.000 Jerky and drinks and all that stuff.

01:36:14.000 I just said it'd be funny if I just loaded up on a crazy amount of Pop-Tarts.

01:36:18.000 And if you haven't put butter on a Pop-Tart, I think you should.

01:36:23.000 Did you buy butter to put with the Pop-Tart?

01:36:25.000 In fact, Brett, I already own butter.

01:36:28.000 But you have to have more.

01:36:29.000 You're talking home butter.

01:36:31.000 No, I think...

01:36:33.000 If people here want to do it, they've got to bring their own dang butter.

01:36:35.000 Yeah, there's no butter here, actually.

01:36:36.000 What's the logistics of guest butter?

01:36:38.000 Do you have the little single servings at a diner, or liquid squeeze butter?

01:36:44.000 You know what I mean?

01:36:45.000 That's a good question.

01:36:46.000 No margarine, though.

01:36:48.000 I did learn an important lesson in that we should never buy large half-and-half bottles for our guests, because so few people...

01:36:56.000 You put cream in their coffee.

01:36:58.000 What ends up happening is you open one bottle and then I think like three guests out of the week use it and then it's garbage.

01:37:05.000 So I'm like, we should probably get the smallest pop. 0.97

01:37:08.000 That's why everybody always does the little tiny ones, but that's fake garbage. 0.98

01:37:11.000 It's nasty.

01:37:12.000 I want like, we get the good organic cream, but then nobody drinks it.

01:37:15.000 Let's go to Super Chats.

01:37:16.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know, and become a member at TimCast.com and support our work because we want to buy more Pop-Tarts.

01:37:25.000 Bro, you know.

01:37:26.000 I'm looking at all of you that you wish you could have a barrel full of Pop-Tarts just sitting there right in the room and you could eat them whenever you wanted.

01:37:33.000 But as a nearly 40-year-old man, of course, I can't eat like that.

01:37:38.000 Nope.

01:37:39.000 So, indeed, I took a Pop-Tart and buttered it and that will probably be the last time.

01:37:42.000 But I know that everyone else here will enjoy it.

01:37:44.000 Me, I try to eat better than that.

01:37:47.000 Alright, let's grab some Super Chats.

01:37:48.000 I'm kidding about buying endless streams of Pop-Tarts.

01:37:50.000 But I do want to stress, I hope you all know, we buy ridiculous amounts of jerky, And we have snacks and food for people.

01:38:10.000 I don't know.

01:38:11.000 It'd be weird if we didn't.

01:38:12.000 There's like some zero sugar cola that just appeared over at the other studio, and I have no idea where- I don't trust it.

01:38:18.000 Neither do I. I said, I feel like this is some type of hidden camera show where they just drop it there one day.

01:38:24.000 Who's going to be the one to try it?

01:38:25.000 I'm like, not me.

01:38:26.000 My brother had an interesting idea.

01:38:28.000 He said, you know how eggs are really expensive and there's a shortage?

01:38:31.000 We should stop giving away Chicken City eggs to employees as a perk for free and get a vending machine where you have to put money in.

01:38:37.000 Of course, that would just break the eggs, but I said, what if we do the one where you have the sliding drawer, and you put the money in, press it, and then it unlocks, and you can take the eggs out?

01:38:45.000 Gotta capitalize, you know?

01:38:46.000 It's like a claw game, so they have to actually use the claw.

01:38:49.000 It'll still drop and break.

01:38:51.000 The funny thing, though, is, as an employee of the Timcast Media Corporation, you get free eggs.

01:38:56.000 Libby always mentions that every time she comes on the show, she grabs a carton of eggs on the way out. 0.94

01:39:00.000 Indeed.

01:39:01.000 We have too many of them.

01:39:03.000 Chickens just make them. 1.00

01:39:04.000 We eat them.

01:39:05.000 Alright, let's grab your Super Chats.

01:39:07.000 We got, what is this?

01:39:09.000 Not a bot.

01:39:10.000 People are still experiencing health effects from the Moss Landing battery plant fire.

01:39:13.000 Results from independent soil testing done by the residents there should be returning soon.

01:39:17.000 Interesting.

01:39:19.000 Tim of 2009 says, Tim, shill for cast brew coffee with Ian's Graphene Dream and the Boonies HQ. Don't forget the Discord delinquents and the after show.

01:39:28.000 There's an after show on Friday.

01:39:30.000 Although we do have a green room.

01:39:32.000 Probably one of the more chill green rooms.

01:39:34.000 I think the green room we filmed today is legit the most behind the scenes.

01:39:39.000 Because it's not like we filmed the show.

01:39:41.000 Literally, Andy turned on a camera while I was playing Magic the Gathering with Allison.

01:39:47.000 And Tony was hanging out with Chuck, I think.

01:39:49.000 And we were just...

01:39:50.000 It was just kind of a generic conversation.

01:39:52.000 Like, at one point, we sniffed a bottle of cream to see if it had spoiled.

01:39:55.000 And we believed that it did.

01:39:57.000 We believe it was spoiled.

01:39:57.000 We called it on the sniff test.

01:39:59.000 And I think he was right.

01:40:00.000 I sniffed and I said, I can't tell.

01:40:01.000 And then he sniffed and said, oh yeah, it's bad.

01:40:03.000 Then we grabbed a different bottle.

01:40:04.000 It smelled like nothing.

01:40:05.000 And he was like, it's good.

01:40:06.000 And then we put it in our coffee.

01:40:08.000 And it's fun to watch the Green Room show.

01:40:09.000 That's why we make it.

01:40:10.000 So check that one out.

01:40:12.000 Also, yeah, boonieshq.com.

01:40:14.000 Buy our skateboards.

01:40:16.000 Jason Nixon says, Tim, please set up the Discord.

01:40:17.000 The culture is strong.

01:40:18.000 From your website, timcast.com, Discord, Culture, Roma Nation, Rise of Middle America.

01:40:24.000 Rise of Middle America. 1.00

01:40:25.000 What a great name for a show.

01:40:27.000 You guys, have you checked out Roman Nation?

01:40:28.000 It is very cool that there is the Roman Nation podcast which started on our Discord server.

01:40:34.000 And so if you haven't become a member at TimCast.com, you should to join the Discord server because quite literally culture is being built.

01:40:42.000 It is being incubated and people are coming together and becoming friends and they're building projects.

01:40:46.000 And now I've got people coming to me asking if I... I had someone ask me the other day if I heard of Roman Nation.

01:40:50.000 Not kidding.

01:40:51.000 They're like, have you heard of that?

01:40:53.000 This is a new podcast.

01:40:53.000 And I was like, I have indeed heard of rumination.

01:40:56.000 That's right.

01:40:57.000 You're telling me this now for the first time.

01:41:00.000 Alright, what do we got?

01:41:02.000 Let's see.

01:41:03.000 Seacowboy says, I just got fired at USAID. Now the people will never know how many chucks a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

01:41:09.000 Now he said, how many chucks a woodchuck could chuck in Iraq?

01:41:12.000 Thanks, Elon.

01:41:13.000 Indeed.

01:41:14.000 $500,000 down the drain.

01:41:17.000 Okay.

01:41:19.000 What do we have here?

01:41:20.000 I'm not your buddy, guys.

01:41:22.000 I'm curious if everything claimed to have been spent on by USAID was actually spent on what they said.

01:41:27.000 Did they really pay for pottery classes?

01:41:29.000 Yeah, they probably didn't.

01:41:31.000 There's just some ultra rich guy in Morocco who's got a nice car.

01:41:35.000 That's the name of the game, man.

01:41:36.000 man, that's the capital city.

01:41:37.000 Someone, uh, he who is him says USAID did Gamergate.

01:41:43.000 Is that true?

01:41:45.000 Oh, money got sent to Feminist Frequency. 1.00

01:41:49.000 What?

01:41:49.000 No.

01:41:50.000 Yeah, my buddy Mark.

01:41:53.000 Guy in Florida, he was pointing this out.

01:41:56.000 What?

01:41:56.000 Gamergate's still kind of going on.

01:41:58.000 You've seen this change with the gaming culture.

01:42:01.000 Was it Marvel Rivals?

01:42:02.000 I'm playing that endlessly with a bunch of buddies.

01:42:05.000 It's killed Overwatch.

01:42:06.000 Overwatch is effectively dead.

01:42:08.000 In Marvel Rivals, the characters are good-looking.

01:42:10.000 It's nice to play. 0.99

01:42:11.000 All the dudes are jacked and all the women have big butts. 1.00

01:42:13.000 It's so funny. 1.00

01:42:14.000 The left gets like, oh, you're objectifying women. 0.57

01:42:20.000 It's like, well, the guys look at...

01:42:22.000 Look at fit dudes in video games like, man, I need to go to the gym, right?

01:42:25.000 Every guy sees a superhero's aspiration.

01:42:27.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:42:28.000 Actually, Bruce Banner is scrawny and frail in Marvel Rivals, but all the other guys...

01:42:33.000 That's their point, is that he turns into the Hulk.

01:42:34.000 Right.

01:42:35.000 You know what's really funny about Marvel Rivals?

01:42:37.000 I'm gonna say it.

01:42:38.000 They basically just ripped off Overwatch.

01:42:41.000 Yeah.

01:42:41.000 No joke.

01:42:42.000 Like, the Hulk is diva. 0.56

01:42:43.000 It's very obvious.

01:42:44.000 It's the same character.

01:42:46.000 And Scarlet Witch is all... 0.99

01:42:47.000 It's not one for one, but Scarlet Witch is basically Moira. 1.00

01:42:51.000 Yeah?

01:42:52.000 Yeah.

01:42:52.000 See, they did it better than the Americans, because Americans were...

01:42:54.000 What was the company behind Concord?

01:42:56.000 Was it Microsoft?

01:42:57.000 Do you remember that company?

01:42:58.000 Yeah, they just flopped.

01:42:59.000 They were developing it for years, and they released it.

01:43:04.000 All the characters were super ugly.

01:43:06.000 It literally looked like it was funded by USAID. It was just trans and weird, and it just flopped, and it was so bad. 1.00

01:43:13.000 I think it made it like a week, two weeks, and it's just gone.

01:43:16.000 At least the Chinese just did it better. 1.00

01:43:18.000 It was Sony.

01:43:19.000 Was it?

01:43:20.000 Yeah, on PS5 and Windows.

01:43:22.000 500 million dollars or something.

01:43:23.000 Some crazy amount of money, and it's just, it totally flopped.

01:43:26.000 The characters, oh, you're right!

01:43:28.000 Yeah, it looks like a USAID project.

01:43:29.000 Yeah, look at this.

01:43:32.000 They look like mutants.

01:43:33.000 Who wants to play this?

01:43:35.000 What was a game supposed to be?

01:43:37.000 It was supposed to be like an Overwatch.

01:43:39.000 Wow.

01:43:40.000 It was just supposed to be like an Overwatch, but like, how do you look at this and identify with any of that?

01:43:45.000 Oh, wait, what's this?

01:43:46.000 Hold on.

01:43:47.000 Let me pull this one up.

01:43:48.000 This is interesting.

01:43:49.000 Oh, it's too small.

01:43:50.000 Let me see if I can open it here.

01:43:53.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

01:43:54.000 It won't let me pull up this image.

01:43:57.000 There we go.

01:43:57.000 We got it.

01:43:58.000 We got it, baby.

01:43:59.000 There we go.

01:44:02.000 Oh, boy.

01:44:03.000 Dog.

01:44:04.000 Does this game not exist anymore?

01:44:05.000 No, it's gone.

01:44:06.000 Really?

01:44:07.000 Completely gone.

01:44:07.000 It lasted like a week.

01:44:09.000 They shut down the servers after a couple weeks or something like that.

01:44:12.000 You can't get into arguments with people about these things because if you tell them you want characters that don't look ugly, they're like, you just want a goon to this character!

01:44:20.000 And they don't understand that actual objective beauty is something that all humans understand.

01:44:26.000 You just don't want to look at something ugly on the screen.

01:44:27.000 Yes, you just don't want to look at something ugly.

01:44:29.000 But that's not a real reply.

01:44:31.000 No.

01:44:31.000 That's a pre-programmed reply because they don't have an actual good argument.

01:44:36.000 Essentially, it's an ad hominem.

01:44:38.000 The long and short of it is they're just insulting you.

01:44:40.000 They're saying, oh, you're a deviant.

01:44:42.000 This is about you being a morally deficient person.

01:44:46.000 This isn't about actually thinking that aesthetically pleasing things are good and things that are not aesthetically pleasing are bad.

01:44:53.000 I knew that it failed, but I didn't realize that they literally just deleted the game two weeks later.

01:44:59.000 It was probably one of the bigger disasters in gaming right now.

01:45:02.000 But a lot of these American gaming companies are going through it right now.

01:45:05.000 Look at the characters.

01:45:06.000 They legit were like, let's create a feminist book club from a local college. 1.00

01:45:11.000 It literally looks like a college campus.

01:45:14.000 But that's what they were trying to do.

01:45:16.000 And this is the problem.

01:45:17.000 These people don't play games.

01:45:19.000 Veilguard, did you see what IGN recently said about it?

01:45:21.000 They said it wasn't attractive enough to a profitable amount of players or something like this.

01:45:28.000 Bro, just say it.

01:45:30.000 The average person who plays these games does not want to pull a bar because they misgendered somebody.

01:45:35.000 And as soon as that video dropped, I was out.

01:45:38.000 I loved Inquisition.

01:45:40.000 And I was like, oh, new Dragon Age is coming out.

01:45:42.000 And then I saw that video and I was like, eh, that's it.

01:45:45.000 I'll play Marvel Rivals.

01:45:46.000 You know what I mean?

01:45:47.000 Whatever. 1.00

01:45:48.000 All the dudes are just ridiculous. 0.99

01:45:50.000 They're like massive and their shoulders look like they can't enter rooms because they'll just bump their shoulders. 1.00

01:45:54.000 And all the women's butts are massive. 1.00

01:45:56.000 I'm like, they did that on purpose. 0.95

01:45:57.000 It's because in the actual comic books, the men had to look that way and the women looked that way because they're supposed to be the most aspirational form of humanity that you could be.

01:46:06.000 And the problem is that feminism negates the idea that the women looking like that is an affront to them because women see it and they say, the women shouldn't look like that. 1.00

01:46:13.000 The women should look like me. 1.00

01:46:14.000 The men see the men and they say, I want to look like that.

01:46:17.000 I better hit the gym.

01:46:18.000 Remember when Marvel tried making Dora the Explorer a superhero?

01:46:22.000 Oh, was that?

01:46:23.000 Was that the Miss Marvel?

01:46:26.000 No, no, no.

01:46:27.000 It was the New Warriors.

01:46:29.000 Oh, God.

01:46:30.000 Like, this is nuts.

01:46:30.000 Let me pull this up.

01:46:31.000 It did this with every character.

01:46:32.000 That ended up not coming out.

01:46:33.000 Right.

01:46:34.000 It got panned so mercilessly.

01:46:36.000 Internet gas from...

01:46:37.000 Yep.

01:46:38.000 Yep.

01:46:39.000 Screen time.

01:46:40.000 Screen time.

01:46:41.000 That was the character's name.

01:46:43.000 Her name was Screen Time?

01:46:44.000 No, no, no.

01:46:45.000 Here you go.

01:46:47.000 This is, like, pretty grainy, but the guy in the middle is Screen Time, and he can, like, look at this, the brother and sister incestuous relationship.

01:46:54.000 And the brother there, that's what they imagined a jock would look like.

01:46:57.000 Isn't that the trans colors, too?

01:47:00.000 Yes.

01:47:00.000 So this is Safe Space and Snowflake.

01:47:03.000 No joke.

01:47:04.000 It's not real.

01:47:05.000 No, it was absolutely real.

01:47:07.000 I'm pretty sure it was Marvel, right?

01:47:09.000 Yes, it was Marvel.

01:47:09.000 Yeah, Marvel's New Wars.

01:47:10.000 And this character right here is a Latino woman who has a backpack she can reach into to pull out any item from a pocket dimension. 1.00

01:47:17.000 Literally Dora the Explorer. 0.99

01:47:19.000 Yo, these people are nuts. 1.00

01:47:20.000 With a bag of holding. 1.00

01:47:21.000 A bag of holding.

01:47:22.000 The point was that is an example of one that was so bad that it never even made it to print.

01:47:27.000 They canceled it.

01:47:28.000 It might have come out like years later, but it was the backlash.

01:47:31.000 Some of the stuff gets to this one.

01:47:32.000 Screen time.

01:47:33.000 What is his power?

01:47:34.000 He can like interface with the internet and emit internet gas.

01:47:37.000 Internet gas.

01:47:37.000 So he's like a...

01:47:38.000 What is internet gas?

01:47:40.000 Well, we never got the comics, so we'll never know.

01:47:45.000 Snowflake.

01:47:46.000 Let me pull this up for you guys.

01:47:47.000 Way too much money.

01:47:48.000 I think I have cancer now.

01:47:50.000 Snowflake, safe space, B-negative, trailblazer. 0.96

01:47:55.000 See, B-negative is a goth.

01:47:59.000 Nobody that large has that much of a thigh gap.

01:48:03.000 Yeah, that's your average.

01:48:05.000 Talk about unrealistic body standards.

01:48:08.000 Seriously.

01:48:09.000 Wow, dude, I can't believe Concord.

01:48:11.000 That's funny.

01:48:13.000 You know, I gotta tell you, when Marvel Rivals was announced, I've been paying attention for a while.

01:48:17.000 When it came out, I downloaded it.

01:48:19.000 I've been playing it.

01:48:20.000 Concord did so bad, I barely even noticed its existence.

01:48:24.000 Yeah, I only heard about it.

01:48:25.000 I think Nish Gamer was talking about it.

01:48:26.000 I really want to play it now.

01:48:28.000 Yeah, the physical copies were going on eBay for a super amount of money.

01:48:33.000 How can you play it?

01:48:34.000 There's no service.

01:48:34.000 You just wanted it.

01:48:36.000 Because Sony was so invested in this, they made a custom controller for it.

01:48:40.000 You could buy a Concord, like, colored controller, and now they're, like, super expensive.

01:48:45.000 I want one that actually looks really good.

01:48:46.000 Dude, Veilguard flopped, and it is nuts.

01:48:50.000 Dragon Age is a major AAA. Everybody was anticipating it.

01:48:54.000 And then this video comes out.

01:48:56.000 Where this woman is like, oh, gee, I accidentally misgendered this deity. 0.98

01:49:00.000 Better pull above. 0.90

01:49:01.000 Starts doing push-ups, and the character's like, what are you doing?

01:49:03.000 It's like, well, I've got to do push-ups now because I misgendered somebody, and we're like, off.

01:49:08.000 Civilization, the newest civilization is going through that now, too.

01:49:10.000 No.

01:49:11.000 So in civilization, traditionally, you pick a former leader or conqueror, right?

01:49:15.000 Yeah, of course.

01:49:15.000 Well, the newest one, one of the options is Harriet Tubman.

01:49:22.000 And they can be in charge of anything.

01:49:23.000 You can have Harriet Tubman in charge of the Roman Empire or something to that effect. 1.00

01:49:27.000 And so it's flopping.

01:49:28.000 If you pull it up on stage, it's crashing.

01:49:30.000 Because originally, I'm pretty sure I played Civ VI. If you picked Augustus Caesar, you were Rome.

01:49:38.000 If you picked Abraham Lincoln, you were America.

01:49:41.000 Now they're making it so that Harriet Tubman can be... 1.00

01:49:43.000 Roman Empire.

01:49:44.000 Kind of?

01:49:45.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:49:46.000 That's so dumb. 1.00

01:49:47.000 Nothing matters and everything is stupid and nothing matters. 1.00

01:49:50.000 Everything is stupid. 1.00

01:49:52.000 Man, what was it, Civ IV, that had Leonard Nimoy giving all those quotes? 1.00

01:49:56.000 Civilization was one of the best games.

01:49:57.000 I actually think that, I think Civ IV is probably good.

01:50:02.000 You don't need to get a five or six.

01:50:04.000 Civilization II is also good, but you need updates, so maybe if people have modded it to be more modern.

01:50:08.000 But I actually think Civilization as a game, maybe not VII, should be a requirement for children.

01:50:13.000 It's a great game.

01:50:14.000 Yeah.

01:50:14.000 I love it when you're like, you know, playing, let's say like Civ VI or whatever, because I haven't played VII. A good lesson kids learn is you are building your nation, you build little cities, and then all of a sudden some dude shows up and he's angry at you and he's like, my nation is better than yours and I'm going to steal all your stuff and there's nothing you can do about it.

01:50:31.000 And you're like, bro, I didn't even say anything to you.

01:50:34.000 Next thing you know, he's launching catapults, trebuchets are firing on your city. 1.00

01:50:38.000 And it's an important lesson for kids to learn about geopolitics that sometimes a war will happen and there's nothing you've done, but you better be prepared to defend yourself and the people you care about.

01:50:48.000 Not to mention, teaches you about the pyramids and forms of government.

01:50:52.000 Very educational.

01:50:53.000 Yeah, Civ V Gandhi.

01:50:55.000 If you know, you know that guy was wild.

01:50:57.000 I thought that was Civ I. I remember like Civ IV or V or whatever.

01:51:02.000 No, I'm pretty sure it was like Civilization I. There was a glitch in the early civilizations where Gandhi was like, I will nuke you! 0.98

01:51:13.000 And it was like, whoa, Gandhi, chill.

01:51:16.000 But I believe in real life, his wife very much was in favor of deterrence.

01:51:22.000 Whereas he was like the peaceful guy.

01:51:23.000 She was like, yeah, but come on, you know, if you got a big gun, no one's going to mess with you. 0.57

01:51:27.000 Now you can play the new Civ and be Harriet Tubman and nuke other countries. 0.73

01:51:32.000 Harriet Tubman was not even a world leader.

01:51:35.000 How dare you?

01:51:37.000 That's what she did was based.

01:51:38.000 That's fine.

01:51:39.000 But wow, that's cringe.

01:51:41.000 I will say I do understand the idea of customizing your civilization and being like, I want to have, like, you choose a world leader because they get plus one to this thing and minus one to that thing, but then you also want to have Rome, which gets plus Aqueduct and minus this, I guess.

01:51:59.000 But it's really just becoming like a choose-your-own-adventure, customize a character.

01:52:03.000 Where's the balance?

01:52:03.000 Like you would pick something because it's really good in one thing and then you have to suffer in some other stats.

01:52:07.000 And now you can just mix everything.

01:52:08.000 What's the point?

01:52:09.000 Civ 7 is failing, huh?

01:52:10.000 Yeah.

01:52:11.000 It's too bad.

01:52:13.000 I just think, wow!

01:52:16.000 Civ 7 opens to mostly negative reviews as players call it an unfinished mess.

01:52:22.000 Most games that come out nowadays are unfinished.

01:52:25.000 Yeah, they patch them or you pay for updates, right?

01:52:28.000 Like back in the day, back in the day you buy a game and that's it.

01:52:31.000 Because they couldn't patch it.

01:52:32.000 Halo 3 was released with the whole game, right?

01:52:39.000 There was the full multiplayer experience and they had this thing called Forge where you could build maps all in the game.

01:52:47.000 Day one.

01:52:48.000 Nowadays, they released Halo Infinity and, like, they were patching it and adding on for over a year before the full list of things that they promised before it was released were actually available.

01:53:03.000 Gentlemen, this message goes out to all the Gen Zers out there.

01:53:07.000 Because I feel bad that you will never know the glory that was the dawn of video games.

01:53:12.000 In Street Fighter 2, the game was complete.

01:53:16.000 It was released.

01:53:17.000 But there was a problem in the game.

01:53:20.000 People eventually realized that if you put in the sequence to perform a move during a move, it would chain two moves together.

01:53:31.000 And they would be unstoppable.

01:53:33.000 And so in the first release of Street Fighter 2, one of the most famous and easiest to pull off combos would be, it's probably got a more formal name, but say Ryu.

01:53:43.000 You jump towards the person.

01:53:45.000 You do a fierce kick.

01:53:48.000 Before you land, you down, down-forward-forward punch to chain a Hadouken, followed by a Shoryuken, and all in one motion with no opportunity for your opponent to defend, you will hit them several times in what was called a combo. 0.96

01:54:02.000 Guess what?

01:54:02.000 That was an error.

01:54:04.000 It wasn't supposed to be possible.

01:54:06.000 And so when it came out, the developers were like, we got a problem, the game got released, and people are connecting moves, and you can't stop it.

01:54:15.000 And then they went...

01:54:17.000 It's on purpose.

01:54:19.000 It's not a bug, it's a feature.

01:54:21.000 You have to be skillful enough to pull off a combo in the first place.

01:54:25.000 And thus was born the combo, which they then incorporated intentionally into all the games after that.

01:54:32.000 If Street Fighter II got released today, they would have patched that the moment it went out, and combos would never exist.

01:54:38.000 And so as I aged, I played vanilla World of Warcraft.

01:54:43.000 Back when it first came out.

01:54:45.000 And there was a point in Stormwind where when you go in and you go to the left of the auction house, you could jump up on like a crate, jump at the wall, and then jump slightly to the left, floating on a glitch midair, and then fall through the floor and go underneath Stormwind, clearly seeing a place you're not supposed to be.

01:55:08.000 And it was fun.

01:55:10.000 And me and my friends, when we played this, It was the most fun thing because this is a massive world map and you could go anywhere and try and break into places you weren't supposed to go.

01:55:20.000 The same is also true for the original Destiny.

01:55:23.000 You ever play Destiny?

01:55:24.000 No.

01:55:25.000 You got these motorcycle type things called sparrows.

01:55:27.000 And if you positioned yourself at a wall in just the right way and spawned your sparrow, you'd clip into the wall and go through it. 0.98

01:55:34.000 That made these games so incredibly fun and they patched all of that out and now the games are stupid and boring. 0.99

01:55:41.000 Yeah. 0.94

01:55:42.000 So, I saw this meme the other day, and it said, video games in 1989, 1992, 1996. And then it says, video games, and it says, millennials.

01:55:54.000 And it said, Gen Z gaming.

01:55:55.000 And it's just like, GTA 5, GTA 5. Yeah, it was Fortnite every time.

01:55:58.000 And it doesn't change.

01:55:59.000 Yep.

01:55:59.000 These Gen Zers have been playing Fortnite for like, what?

01:56:02.000 Almost 10 years.

01:56:03.000 And it's the same.

01:56:04.000 It doesn't look any different.

01:56:05.000 Yep.

01:56:05.000 There's no innovation.

01:56:06.000 Or look at GTA 5. It's like, we used to get a GTA and updates and different versions in different cities, and now it's just, that's it, it's over.

01:56:15.000 So, man, these kids, they don't know what they've missed.

01:56:19.000 They'll never know the joy of seeing the latest generation of gaming console coming out with updated graphics, because now it's just like, what do you mean?

01:56:26.000 We downgrade our graphics.

01:56:28.000 Well, the graphics, they have made developers lazy.

01:56:31.000 These games come out and they're not optimized.

01:56:33.000 And so you have to drop, like, you have to have the newest...

01:56:40.000 I mean, some of the reasoning for it is because in the past they've had the actual resolution degrade for further away objects as opposed to the objects that are in the front.

01:56:54.000 Nowadays they're making the resolution for objects far away the same resolution as objects up front, so that's part of why graphics cards have...

01:57:05.000 They've increased in power, but to the casual player, the graphics haven't gotten better.

01:57:12.000 It's because the graphics have become more homogenous throughout the whole game, as opposed to just the immediate area.

01:57:23.000 If you think back to Halo 2...

01:57:26.000 Like Halo 2, the graphics were a certain level when they were right next to you and stuff, but then if you looked off in the distance, it was mostly smoke or just shapes and stuff.

01:57:39.000 They are actually using the power of the new graphics cards, but that's because they're trying to make the whole thing more homogenous.

01:57:51.000 Let's grab some more Super Chats.

01:57:52.000 We got Samuel Eddy who says, I am passing this message on.

01:57:54.000 If America is going to have a new golden age, we should polish the Statue of Liberty.

01:57:58.000 Put it to a poll.

01:57:59.000 It's an interesting point.

01:58:02.000 The Statue of Liberty is supposed to be brownish.

01:58:05.000 Browns. 0.65

01:58:05.000 It is made of copper, I believe, and so it has oxidized and turned greenish. 0.65

01:58:10.000 How often would...

01:58:11.000 It's kind of weird that we never kept up with it.

01:58:13.000 It's what they did in the show Fringe, in the alternate timeline.

01:58:17.000 The Statue of Liberty is copper.

01:58:20.000 I just blame the state of New Jersey.

01:58:23.000 They've never...

01:58:25.000 Shouldn't they have been like, every year we should polish it?

01:58:27.000 Once a year.

01:58:28.000 I mean, look, they're literally constantly painting the Golden Gate Bridge.

01:58:32.000 When they get done, they start at the other end again.

01:58:34.000 Really?

01:58:35.000 Yeah.

01:58:35.000 Well, if it's not constantly, constantly, it's like there's not a long time in between.

01:58:39.000 They have to keep updating the paint on the Golden Gate.

01:58:45.000 It's actually nuts to me right now that they don't make new games anymore, really.

01:58:49.000 It's just like they take existing engines and just update them slightly.

01:58:53.000 There's no innovation.

01:58:54.000 Yeah, we used to make new games.

01:58:56.000 I'd go into the PlayStation store and I'm just like, what is this?

01:58:59.000 There's still some lasting ones.

01:59:00.000 I like Kojima's stuff.

01:59:02.000 So like Death Stranding has been really, really great.

01:59:05.000 I remember going to the video game store back in the day.

01:59:09.000 Where would we go?

01:59:10.000 Funkoland?

01:59:11.000 GameStop.

01:59:13.000 Funkoland.

01:59:13.000 Aimstop, bro.

01:59:14.000 KBE Toys?

01:59:15.000 Was that another?

01:59:16.000 Did they sell games?

01:59:16.000 No.

01:59:17.000 That was actually one of the last bastions of small businesses that would have the resellers and stuff like that.

01:59:22.000 Funkoland.

01:59:22.000 Those still exist.

01:59:24.000 Yeah, Funkoland.

01:59:25.000 And I remember when I was a real little kid, we would go to Farmore.

01:59:28.000 I don't know if that was a Chicago thing.

01:59:30.000 And the video game selection was massive.

01:59:33.000 It was just like, there was just too many games.

01:59:37.000 And then you'd have like this huge thing of all these games.

01:59:40.000 Now there's like three.

01:59:41.000 So you went to Chinatown in Chicago and they sold ripped games.

01:59:45.000 And you would take your PlayStation, you'd have to put like a little spring in it and get it modified.

01:59:49.000 And you can play like copied games.

01:59:51.000 And you'd go to Chinatown and just buy copied games.

01:59:53.000 To be fair, there's like more games than ever now.

01:59:55.000 But there's just like...

01:59:57.000 GTA doesn't make new games anymore.

02:00:00.000 Rockstar just doesn't make them.

02:00:01.000 Well, they make one game and then they ride it with updates and patches and DLC for 10 years.

02:00:06.000 Man.

02:00:07.000 Well, at least Marvel Rivals is a new game.

02:00:10.000 Whatever.

02:00:10.000 What's their model?

02:00:11.000 Like, they're selling costumes?

02:00:13.000 Yeah, cosmetics.

02:00:14.000 Yeah, that seems to be the model-free game, and you can buy cosmetics.

02:00:17.000 It's kind of a bummer that Overwatch, you know, is over.

02:00:21.000 But, you know, it is what it is.

02:00:22.000 They tried launching, what do you call it, the classic mode?

02:00:27.000 Right. 0.91

02:00:28.000 You know, bringing back the OG, and everyone's like, this sucks. 0.82

02:00:31.000 Yeah, c'est la vie.

02:00:32.000 Alright, we'll grab one more here.

02:00:34.000 This account, this is not the account you're looking for, it says, Tim is a genius.

02:00:37.000 It's only $320 for 1,064 Pop-Tarts.

02:00:40.000 It's not expensive.

02:00:42.000 We have purchased very many.

02:00:44.000 And different flavors.

02:00:45.000 Largely the fruit kind.

02:00:46.000 You know, because, you know.

02:00:47.000 But we'll get more.

02:00:49.000 We'll get more.

02:00:50.000 All right, everybody.

02:00:51.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button.

02:00:53.000 Share the show with everyone you know.

02:00:55.000 That really is the best way to help.

02:00:56.000 The show spreads through word of mouth.

02:00:58.000 If everybody who watched this show just posted the link and said, hey, come hang out with me and watch.

02:01:03.000 Like, look at it this way.

02:01:04.000 You become a member at timcast.com.

02:01:06.000 You tell your friends to become a member and watch the show.

02:01:08.000 And you can watch together and chat with each other and hang out.

02:01:11.000 And you're also going to meet a lot of new people.

02:01:14.000 But tell your friends to watch live Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.

02:01:17.000 Because if you're watching and they're watching and you're online and you're talking to each other, you can build community and let's roll, everybody.

02:01:24.000 Really, the way that shows do grow is talk to anybody in this industry and they're like, I wish there was a magic bullet.

02:01:30.000 The answer is just if people like the show, they tell their friends to watch it.

02:01:33.000 So if you do, that would be appreciated.
