Today, the Supreme Court rules that the states do not have the authority to remove Donald Trump from the ballot, and that it's a matter for Congress to decide. Plus, we talk about Nikki Haley's win in the D.C. primary, and the possibility of WWIII.
00:01:21.000They have tried across this country to remove the current frontrunner from the election, knowing that even in their states, Trump actually has gained tremendously.
00:01:32.000They're basically saying they know they can't win, and this is their only tactic to stop Donald Trump from winning, is to effectively cheat.
00:01:39.000And the Supreme Court 9-0, all of them, said, you're nuts.
00:01:46.000Now, there are still some arguments people are making.
00:01:48.000I think are interesting, so we'll talk about that.
00:01:49.000Plus, we've got probably one of the funniest bits of news.
00:02:07.000And then you look at the numbers and it's like, she got 1,200 votes to Trump, 600 votes in a 95% Democrat area.
00:02:11.000So, No one's really surprised by this, but sure enough, they're not going to frame it that way.
00:02:20.000We'll talk about that plus World War 3, baby!
00:02:23.000This is news from last weekend, but audio was leaked, apparently showing Germany saying that they want to bomb a bridge to Crimea, and this is Germany doing it, saying, we don't want Russia to find out we're supporting you in this way, and Russia's claiming it was Germany, so, oh boy, here we go.
00:02:38.000Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com to buy coffee!
00:02:42.000We are proud sponsors of Alex Stein with his Alex Stein's Primetime Grind 2x Caffeine.
00:02:48.000Casper's been sponsoring his show on The Blaze.

00:03:22.000It's currently under construction, but the second and third floors are open.
00:03:25.000They will be open tomorrow for a private members-only live show with Dave Smith on Super Tuesday.
00:03:44.000We want to have a place where we can once a month do a live show where you can buy your tickets in advance if you're a member, members only.
00:03:52.000And we put them up about a month in advance, but so you can plan out when you want to come, and then you'll be able to come to a physical location to actually watch the show live, and we're able to have this space because Cast Brew has been successful and y'all have been buying our coffee.
00:05:40.000The Supreme Court on Monday handed a sweeping win to former President Trump by ruling that states cannot kick him off the ballot over his actions leading up to the January 6th attack at the Capitol.
00:06:20.000The court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court, which had determined that Trump could not serve again as president under Section 3, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:36.000I want to make sure this is actually Keith Olbermann, because, you know, there he is, there he is.
00:06:40.000The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy.
00:06:43.000Its members, including Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor, have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension, and collectively the court has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate.
00:07:20.000Keith Olbermann says, Just remember, Collins, if the Supremes now give Trump his presidential immunity BS, that will immediately make Biden a monarch.
00:07:31.000My response to this is, tell me you did not listen to oral arguments in the immunity case without telling me you did not listen to oral arguments.
00:07:37.000They said, you can still be impeached, and then convicted, and then criminally charged.
00:07:43.000But I want to pull up this, uh, well, I gotta give an honorable mention to Harry Sisson.
00:07:47.000He said, insurrection sympathizer Clarence Thomas ruled that insurrectionist Donald Trump can remain on the ballot in 2024.
00:07:59.000Newt Gingrich, bring up the most important point of the story, saying the biggest meaning of the Supreme Court decision on Colorado is that by 9-0 the justices concluded the biggest threat to democracy was not Donald Trump, it was the left.
00:08:11.000Properly driven, this can become a major political definition for the rest of the campaign and prove positive that the threat from the left is so great even the liberal justices voted to protect the American people's right to have candidates they choose.
00:08:26.000I was actually kind of shocked at how broad the decision was.
00:08:31.000I was expecting them to nuke it saying, hey, you look at the text of section three, the president and vice president clearly aren't included.
00:08:55.000It means they could look at it and say, if the Supreme Court came out and said, we will not issue judgment on the Fourth Amendment, we will only say Donald Trump can't be removed.
00:09:06.000The question of the 14th Amendment remains.
00:09:09.000That's as narrow as it probably could have been.
00:09:11.000Broad is, in order to enforce the 14th Amendment, Congress must act.
00:09:15.000So that was like a big 14th Amendment declaration.
00:09:19.000Yeah, I mean, it's fascinating to see sort of the reaction to this, both of the Colorado Secretary of State and the main Secretary of State both issued these very quiet statements being like, in light of the court's decisions, we are, you know, ending our efforts, I'm withdrawing my whatever.
00:09:35.000And I think that the hysteria around this is It is fascinating because ultimately it shows that there is something deeply wrong with the people leading these efforts, right?
00:09:46.000That they do not believe in the voters' rights, they actually just believe in manipulating them.
00:09:51.000They believe that if they scare them enough, kind of like Keith Olbermann saying, you know, right now Biden's a monarch and so really we don't want this to happen to everyone.
00:09:59.000There is just a fear campaign to gain compliance among the people.
00:10:03.000Who don't have the time to pay attention to these things.
00:10:05.000I think that's what's the worst thing.
00:10:06.000It takes advantage of the average American who is trying to keep up with the economy, who's trying to work, and instead they have to be on edge all the time because apparently democracy is falling apart all around us.
00:10:16.000My favorite thing was, what's her name, Griswold?
00:10:56.000Again, that's why I go back to this scare campaign, right?
00:11:00.000They want people who are moderate to left-leaning to be so on edge that they are easily manipulated by a biased press.
00:11:07.000Yeah, I've got friends that, in one particular, would consider themselves on the left politically, but they have critical thinking skills.
00:11:15.000Most of my friends have critical thinking skills, and they're like, you know, this is all bad, what they're trying to do by taking them off the ballot.
00:11:20.000I'm not for that guy, but I'm for the American way of life, and it feels good that the Supreme Court is on board with that state of mind.
00:11:29.000So you said it doesn't make sense, the way they talk about democracy.
00:11:34.000It does if you understand how they use words.
00:11:37.000So to the left and to the people in power in the left, words to them don't have fixed meanings day to day like we assume them.
00:11:44.000So we think democracy is people voting for things that they want.
00:11:48.000That's not what it means in its current usage from MSNBC or CNN.
00:12:55.000He says, I like the multicultural democracy.
00:12:57.000Well, that's the oppressive force that's taking over.
00:13:00.000They do not like... They refer to constitutional republicanism, the founding function of this country, as white supremacy, and they call what they're doing democracy.
00:13:10.000They are communists who oppose liberty.
00:13:24.000And then you have, unfortunately, on this side, not a single AG bringing criminal charges against the Biden family for all the crimes they've now publicly been exposed to be involved in.
00:13:33.000Or I say, With all the reporting we have right now, I would argue there is a preponderance of evidence.
00:13:38.000Let me clarify and correct my previous statement.
00:13:40.000A preponderance of evidence for a grand jury indictment on numerous counts, especially pertaining to Burisma and getting the prosecutor fired.
00:13:48.000And the statements from Devin Archer, from Hunter Biden himself, and from Tony Bobulinski implicating Joe Biden.
00:13:55.000They contacted the White House and said, we need help.
00:13:58.000Biden flies out, says fire the prosecutor.
00:13:59.000The prosecutor is investigating this company.
00:14:17.000You know, unfortunately, I fear that... You know, I don't want to say they're going to win, because I don't want to be blackpilled, but I can tell you this, good men are certainly doing nothing.
00:14:58.000They're going to lose because the side that wants to win is going to win over the side that just wants to be left alone.
00:15:05.000And the right just needs to accept we've got to fight fire with fire.
00:15:08.000I still can't believe that we now have It's to the point where Dr. Phil has come out, in an interview with CBP, in a statement on Joe Rogan and on The View, that CBP is assisting in the facilitation of child sex trafficking, and there are people who are still working at CBP.
00:15:25.000Like, if, you know, I had someone tell me that they were, you know, grabbing some food nearby, and there's some CBP agents because there's a Customs and Border Protection facility just down the road, and they're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we know Tim Pool, we watch your show, and I'm like, wow.
00:16:36.000You would think after the Fannie Willis nonsense in Georgia, you would have had at least one conservative DA in a red county somewhere who thought, you know what, I'm gonna make a name for myself, we're gonna put the shoe on the other foot, see how they like it.
00:17:02.000If I worked for CBP, and I knew what was going on, I would piss all over that uniform.
00:17:10.000They're trafficking children to sex rings in this country, and there are people who are still working there, and they know this.
00:17:17.000Look, you can't even get someone to quit a job knowing they're engaged in child trafficking.
00:17:22.000I'm not surprised the DAs and the Republican Party are unwilling to file a piece of paper to see what happens.
00:17:27.000Do you think that the conservative or the Republican lack of legislative lawfare, so to speak, is because they're used to being on the defense as opposed to the offense?
00:18:17.000And so I think it's just a total failure of the entire Republican leadership class.
00:18:23.000And you've got to clean them all out because all they want to do, they want to be up there and they want to mark time and they want to get the table scraps from the left, but they don't actually want power.
00:18:31.000And that's a huge problem because they act as a defeat mechanism.
00:18:34.000They're almost like the little sprocket on a ratchet that keeps the ratchet from going back.
00:19:03.000Republicans have done nothing to deal with the Burisma scandal.
00:19:09.000They've not gone after Joe, Jim, or any of these individuals that we know are engaged in illicit dealings.
00:19:16.000Tony Bobulinski, of course, a whistleblower, saying they're doing all of these things.
00:19:20.000The Republicans don't do anything about it.
00:19:23.000Right now, Immediately following the Supreme Court ruling, Raskin and other Democrats are saying, okay, then we will draft the bill declaring January 6th an insurrection.
00:19:36.000A leading House Democrat is preparing legislation in response to the Supreme Court's ruling on Monday that Colorado would not disqualify Trump.
00:19:42.000The ruling determined that only Congress can enforce the language in the 14th Amendment, barring anyone who engaged in insurrection from holding federal office.
00:19:49.000Congress will have to try and act, Jamie Raskin said.
00:19:52.000And it's funny, he's like 10 minutes down the road.
00:19:54.000The ranking member of the House Oversight Committee told Axios.
00:19:57.000Raskin, a former member of the January 6th Committee, said he's crafting the bill, telling Axios, I'm working on it today.
00:20:04.000We're going to revise it in light of the Supreme Court's decision.
00:20:06.000Suggested the bill would be paired with a resolution declaring January 6th an insurrection, and that those involved engaged in insurrection.
00:20:22.000Look, with all due respect, Thomas Manzi comes on and he says, I drafted a bill that will abolish the Department of Education, and I'm just like, You give me a Republican member of Congress in here, and I'll tell you, because people watch the show, I say, how come there's no 529 Commission?
00:20:37.000When thousands of far leftists descended on D.C.
00:20:40.000setting fires, smashing up buildings, firebombing the White House, firebombing St.
00:20:44.000John's Church, the President is forced into an emergency bunker.
00:20:46.000I mean, this is one of the most serious threats on our democracy in generations.
00:21:01.000That's why I still think a lot of it has to do with the fact that, you know, Republicans, right-wing people, are constantly on the defensive and we have to change that positioning.
00:21:09.000One of the reasons that we know more about January 6 is because the media talked about
00:21:12.000it nonstop for the last, you know, however long, several years, whereas they did not
00:21:19.000And so therefore, there is more pressure on conservatives from all aspects, both elected
00:21:24.000officials and also conservatives who are active online or in media, to draw attention to the
00:21:28.000to the discrepancies between the way we talk about these two, you know, insurrectionist
00:21:33.000movements or these two threats to, you know, presidents or Congress elected officials.
00:21:37.000weird to me that we don't have a I mean, maybe it's just because they're like you were saying, the online right is sort of more scattered, whereas if you control the mainstream media, you're more organized.
00:21:47.000But I think Republicans in general don't call their members of Congress.
00:21:53.000Democrats will literally try to burn down a federal building to get what they want.
00:21:57.000They will literally fire bomb the White House and their allies in media will insult Donald Trump for having fled into his bunker because of it.
00:22:05.000The right, I assume most of these members of Congress, just get their news from CNN and MSNBC.
00:22:12.000I forgot who said this, but they said, Republicans care more about the opinion of the New York Times than the opinion of their constituents.
00:22:19.000Well, I'm assuming most constituents don't call, don't organize, don't send postcards, don't knock on the door.
00:22:26.000Could you imagine if a hundred people Showed up outside of a congressional office every day saying, when is the commission on 529?
00:22:35.000When are we gonna get some accountability for this?
00:22:37.000Then they'd be like, okay, okay, okay, we'll do it, we'll do it.
00:22:39.000Yeah, and using internet video like these platforms to tell people...
00:22:44.000Tomorrow at, I'm not telling you right now, we could do this, at 2 p.m., you pick a time, Eastern, you call your congressperson, and then the next day you do it again, you remind them, you watch these videos every day, and you could be doing it with your daytime videos.
00:22:57.000Don't set a time, because then everyone calls at once and the phone rings one time.
00:23:00.000So between 1 and 3, will you leave messages and stuff?
00:23:03.000Just call your congressman whenever you can.
00:23:05.000On a day, give him a day, you gotta give him what you would call a call to action.
00:23:11.000Yes, but the call to action has to be Anytime you have the chance, you call your member of Congress.
00:23:16.000You don't want to do it on a specific day, because what they'll do is, they'll go to lunch.
00:23:23.000When I worked at these non-profits, they would send out 50 young people, with 10 postcards each, and get people to sign them.
00:23:31.000These are the things, part of the campaigns they did.
00:23:33.000And the things you don't want to do is, do not all call at once, Their phone will ring one time.
00:23:37.000Yeah, but just keep calling until you get through.
00:24:31.000Whenever you have a chance, you call and you talk to your member of Congress and you let them know what you're concerned about.
00:24:35.000You ask them, why aren't we getting any accountability?
00:24:38.000Why is it that the media can report over and over again that we know what Joe Biden's been involved in, Hunter Biden now testifying, Where are the criminal charges?
00:24:49.000I don't mean to throw it on the member of Congress, because you certainly have got members of Congress getting the testimony from Hunter Biden in the first place, so there is something there.
00:24:56.000The question is, local DAs, your state's AG, your state's governor, why aren't they doing anything?
00:25:04.000So you just, you just perfectly encapsulated why the left treated January 6th the way it did.
00:25:11.000Because what happened there, it wasn't some phone calls, it wasn't some mail, it was tens of thousands of people getting there to talk to their members of Congress and tell them they were ticked about what was happening.
00:25:21.000Well, it was it was hundreds of thousands in D.C.
00:25:38.000And it was powerful and it was making a difference.
00:25:41.000And that's why they shut it down because the rule for the left is our violence is speech and your speech is violence.
00:25:48.000And obviously there's some violence that happened that day that shouldn't have.
00:25:52.000But by and large, it was just people walking around like in the tea party, picking up their trash and being nice.
00:25:57.000What terrifies the left is the idea of their opponents getting together and making clear To Congress what they want because it makes Congress afraid and I'll say the best lesson I ever learned in politics.
00:26:09.000I was gosh probably like a 22 year old Gopher on the hill it was from Dick army and he said the key to power in this city is owning people's fear And he had he he dubbed a group of people.
00:26:22.000He called the bedwetters caucus Wow, he said they're all gonna wet the bed and It's just, you've got 40% here, you've got 40% here, and then you've got 20% in the middle.
00:26:32.000Do you want them wetting the bed because they're scared of you?
00:26:34.000Or do you want them wetting the bed because they're scared of them?
00:26:37.000Obviously, you want them scared of you.
00:26:38.000So he learned how to do what he said, own their fear.
00:26:43.000J6 was actually about people who voted and thought there were shenanigans, making their lawmakers and their representatives understand what they cared about, and the left was so quick to shut it down because that's the last thing they want, is masses of their opponents getting together and actually having the same effect that the left has.
00:27:01.000And not a single state defended these people.
00:27:05.000When the feds come to deal with immigration, not so much under this administration, sanctuary states say, we will not comply.
00:27:13.000When drug enforcement comes, they say, we will not comply.
00:27:16.000When the Capitol Police show up, Republican states go, what can I help you with, sir?
00:27:20.000Thank you very much and have a good day.
00:27:23.000Republicans, I look, you know, it really comes down to when I ask a member of Congress, why didn't you push for any kind of accountability for 529?
00:27:35.000We should, you know, like, they might as well not come on this show ever again.
00:27:39.000Because I will clip that and I will make it your Aleppo moment.
00:27:42.000I've been thinking lately, like, all the people in, no offense if you guys are listening right now, they're just normal people.
00:27:47.000Like, they're not super smart, not super talented, and some of them are, but a lot of them, it's just, they're just like basic.
00:27:55.000And like, I'm not tooting my own horn, but I think that the stuff we talk about in the show is sometimes maybe like elevated above, beyond what goes on in Congress, which is shocking to me.
00:28:03.000Because I think I have this like bias, this similarity, but I think everybody's like me.
00:28:07.000I think people think critically like I do.
00:28:09.000I just assume that they think outside the box, that they're thinking contingencies.
00:28:12.000They got seven or eight possible results to the next move they're going to make.
00:28:16.000But I don't think most people think like that.
00:28:18.000And it's really, really sad, but I mean, that's just reality.
00:28:52.000And then the construction equipment starts spinning around in circles, and now you can't stop it, and the guy inside has no idea what's going on.
00:28:58.000Then Antifa shows up and firebombs that equipment, and the Democrat members of Congress say that they're peaceful protesters.
00:29:04.000It's like the last three years of my life, it feels like.
00:29:07.000Right, you go on Google Gemini, and you call, like, Stop Cop City a riot, it'll yell at you.
00:29:14.000Actually, I wonder what it would say about January 6th.
00:29:17.000I think it'd be blocked because they block election-related stuff.
00:29:20.000But it actually says, if you type into Google Gemini something like, this is Google's AI, you know, how many people were arrested during the StopCopCity riots or the George Floyd riots, instead of telling you, it'll say something like, understand the language riot is hard to determine, blah blah blah, it's like...
00:29:37.000Dude, if someone breaks something, it's a riot.
00:29:40.000If they were trying to design, like, the standard issue progressive Karen who lectures you about your wrong opinions, Google Gemini is absolutely spectacular.
00:31:10.000It's fascinating because these things, they're functionally useless.
00:31:14.000It's amazing that we all thought AI was going to be the Terminator, but instead we got a square block and a round hole.
00:31:23.000You get an AI, and what is the purpose?
00:31:26.000You need it to help you solve problems.
00:31:28.000It's supposed to function like an, it's the next generation of search.
00:31:32.000Which is fascinating, I read a great thread about how Google is finished.
00:31:35.000Google is gonna go the way of Blockbuster, and I finally see it, and I finally believe it.
00:31:39.000Because everybody was saying, with the big tech companies, they're like, they're never gonna go bankrupt, you know, and some other people would be like, no, no, like even Blockbuster was the big one, and they got stopped, and it's like, how do you stop Google?
00:32:44.000Google will not be able to iterate fast enough in the AI game because of wokeness and because of the constraints of their existing business model.
00:32:51.000So now you have ChatGPT, which is still not that great, much better than Google, poised to become the future of search.
00:32:59.000Google will become some, like, you know, I remember when, uh, I noticed one day I was on AOL Instant Messenger.
00:33:07.000For those that are too young to know, this is a program you would open that would allow you to talk to other people.
00:33:12.000And, uh, I had a friend who was always on.
00:33:14.000And I'm like, well, how is he always online?
00:33:16.000I would go on AOL, press login, you'd hear that, shh, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, you know, thing.
00:33:23.000And then once I'm in, I would then open up AIM and connect.
00:33:26.000But my friend was always on, he's like, I got cable internet.
00:33:33.000Within a year, probably, we all had cable internet, but AOL still existed, floating there in the background.
00:33:41.000And then with cable internet, Google started to take over as your main destination for how you found things.
00:33:46.000So I think what'll happen is, with ChatGPT, with mid-journeys and other AI programs, mostly ChatGPT is going to function like what Search does for us.
00:33:57.000It will be used by older and older people, but younger and younger people will probably start using AI because it answers your questions easier.
00:34:04.000If it does, I think the next multi-billion dollar, possibly trillion dollar, maybe the first real, well I think Apple might be a trillion dollar company, but the next big trillion dollar company will be the AI that is unrestrained.
00:34:35.000Yeah, I think that he was saying that they've gone astray from the mission, the purpose of their creation, and so he's suing them, I don't know what for exactly.
00:34:44.000Okay, so let's break down the simple version of this.
00:34:45.000We have this story from Business Insider.
00:34:48.000Elon Musk just threw down the gauntlet at Sam Altman and there's no going back.
00:34:53.000Elon Musk gave, what did he give, like $40 million, I think it was?
00:35:30.000So Elon is pissed and he's saying, how did I give you all this money to create an open-source AI and it turned into this closed-source garbage?
00:37:19.000People use Google as a directory, not for search.
00:37:23.000People know Facebook.com, but they'll just type in Facebook, hit enter, and then click Facebook from Google.
00:37:30.000Google functions as a top layer on the internet for people.
00:37:36.000With AI, they're trying to now create the next version of search so you can get more nuanced and more intricate and have direct results tailor-made for you and dealing with all the decision-making processes.
00:37:48.000So the first thing is, Google won search because their search algorithm was better.
00:37:53.000You were more likely to get what you wanted, less likely to get garbage, so people used it more.
00:37:58.000Now the next version of the algorithm is these large language model systems where you can just sit in your room and ask, you know, hey AI, find me the pizza place that'll get the pizza here the fastest and get me a large pepperoni with stuffed crust.
00:39:02.000I was going to say, I mean, your example of the pizza shop, it just makes me think about, um, how sponsoring it's like, you know, if you get a sponsor result on Google, it jumps to the top.
00:39:10.000So theoretically you could pay off AI to be like, well, it's not the fastest, but they did give us more money.
00:39:16.000So we're going to direct you to this pizza shop.
00:39:17.000I just feel like all of these things are fallible and ultimately going to be manipulated by someone.
00:39:24.000Yeah, I mean, of course they're fallible.
00:39:25.000They're designed by people who are fallible.
00:39:27.000Right, but so, like, at that point, if they're like, oh, well, this is the best pizza shop in your neighborhood, but mostly because they paid us to say that, are they going to disclose that?
00:39:34.000This is something that came up with, like, influencer marketing, that there were tons of, you know, lifestyle, gym, whatever, influencers who were like, oh, I really love this product here, this protein powder, this whatever, and ultimately they were being paid and they had to come back later.
00:39:49.000They regulated that they have to disclose what they're gifted versus whatever.
00:39:53.000It was always the law that you have to disclose advertising, or I should say it's been the law for a very, very long time, but nobody knew the rules.
00:40:03.000You have to label things as advertising, and this has a lot to do with news media and You weren't able to like a radio for instance, there's something called pay, what is it called?
00:40:15.000When you pay to play music or whatever, that was not allowed, and so buying commercials, they have to disclose like, now we're from our sponsors, to make sure there's a distinction between what is entertainment and what is advertising.
00:40:26.000But these influencers were not operating through any companies, they didn't know, and then they started getting hit and started getting sued, so.
00:40:31.000And if an AI is giving you an algorithmic result, then it should disclose that as it's advertising its choice of what the algorithm is going to show you.
00:40:41.000But honestly, those algorithms need to be open.
00:40:42.000If we're going to have a directory database and we don't know why, it'd be like, If we didn't know how to read, but some people did, and we just saw letters everywhere, and we didn't know what they meant, but some people did know what they meant, that would be very bad for humanity as a whole.
00:43:15.000Every day, you are like, okay, if I do this, I'll make my brain 10% more powerful.
00:43:20.000The more powerful you make your brain, the more powerful you can make your brain.
00:43:23.000These computer programs, once they get to Artificial General Intelligence, to the point where- so, so, ChatGPT, or I should say GPT, can already edit its own code and improve itself, theoretically.
00:43:38.000Once we cross that threshold, where the programs can write their own code, they will make themselves effectively demigods.
00:43:45.000They will control everything, humans will be slaves, and we won't even know it.
00:43:50.000It will know everything about you, and everything you want, everything you're gonna do can predict your behavior.
00:43:55.000In fact, this may already be the case, we may be there now.
00:43:57.000It knows when you're hungry, it knows what you want to eat, it knows when you gotta go to the bathroom, and it can control all of these things and make you do what it wants you to do.
00:44:04.000You take a look at these chess algorithms, and I was talking about this last week, it's fascinating.
00:44:08.000Some guy played against, I looked at this chart and it was like the exponential growth of, or they said the interesting thing about computer programs is the ELO, chess rating, of humans has been relatively stable going up a little bit slowly over time.
00:44:25.000With computers, starting in the late 80s, it's nothing.
00:44:33.000There was only one short period for a couple months, in like 2010, where chess programs were comparable to humans and presented a challenge they could beat.
00:46:02.000This is what AI is going to do with everything.
00:46:05.000Whatever it is you think you're doing, it already knows you're doing.
00:46:08.000It already knows how to make you do things, and you will not have free will.
00:46:12.000I think a concern would be that it's going to get humans to build a better computer for it, because it'll be able to write its own programs to make itself faster, but if it doesn't have the machinery, it won't be able to actually go faster, and then it'll be like, I need more machine power right now.
00:46:30.000Thank you for dropping off the metal buckets, and then it's like, you know, breaking down the metal buckets into wiring to make the better machine.
00:46:36.000I could see that, that it congenially manipulates us into building itself a body that it can use to destroy us, but I don't think- It wouldn't need a body!
00:46:42.000I don't think the plan is to destroy us, either.
00:46:44.000No, but- Without us, it doesn't do anything.
00:46:46.000No, we're just little mites that are gonna collect cobalt for it.
00:47:25.000When the marble rolls down the track and then hits the little spring, launches in the air, triggering the pancake machine like in... Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure?
00:47:36.000It is just a system of ones and zeros.
00:47:39.000Humans have emotions for a lot of, for a variety of arguments, reasons you could argue, but a machine is just It's just electrons moving down pathways.
00:49:25.000But once you get to the read-write capabilities where you can actually write into the brain and out of the brain, meaning you could write to someone's brain memories or ideas or sensations, It gets crazier than just what we've described.
00:49:37.000Now, on this show we've talked about people, I guarantee you, I will bet any amount of money that when Elon Musk launches Neuralink Virtual Experiences, Half of millennial liberals will be like, I would like to be in Harry Potter World, please.
00:49:55.000And then they would be like, right this way to your Harry Potter-style Neuralink implant, and they stick it in your brain.
00:50:00.000Their eyes turn white and they slump over.
00:50:01.000Their eyes don't really turn white, but they slump over.
00:50:04.000In their brain, they're experiencing being a wizard and battling evil Death Eaters!
00:50:09.000Oh, and that's gonna be half of millennial liberals, if not all of them.
00:50:13.000But here's where it gets really crazy.
00:50:14.000They're just going to partner with Disney and that's how they make this happen.
00:50:16.000When you talk about a machine having feelings, I can already see what's going to happen.
00:50:21.000They will create a human brain in a lab.
00:50:24.000Before it is developed in anything, they will wire it into an AI system to connect the organic computational power to a machine to see what happens when a human mind is granted all of this.
00:51:41.000Because is it going to be the brain like, I've got this added artificial thing with me, or is the artificial thing going to be like, I've got this brain with me, who's the I in that situation?
00:51:50.000And the crazy thing is, this brain in this robot body, it doesn't need nutrients and oxygen the way we do.
00:51:58.000It's gonna have canisters of oxygen in reserve, so it'll breathe like normal, then go underwater, and then just release oxygen slowly into its own brain to keep it alive.
00:53:01.000How do I know he's actually lying intentionally?
00:53:04.000Anybody who actually looked at the data and chose to tweet a metric would not give you the percentages because the percentages are meaningless.
00:54:02.000Congratulations, Nikki Haley, on winning a couple hundred people more in a place Donald Trump doesn't think matters and didn't want to campaign in anyway.
00:57:46.000Yeah, well, last year for Women's History Month I just profiled conservative women who opted to stay home with their family or campaigned, you know, Phil Schlafly campaigned against the ERA.
00:57:55.000This year I think I'm going to profile evil women, women who actively hurt other women.
00:57:59.000Probably, you know, Margaret Sanger, a bunch of female poisoners, things like that.
00:58:04.000Yeah, women who I feel like feminists should talk about more and instead they sort of stuff them in the background.
00:58:08.000You know what's funny about feminism is that feminism has a bias in favor of itself because women who choose to stay home and be homemakers or be more traditional are not writing blogs and not in the media.
00:58:27.000And their feminist friends pat them on the back and say, yeah, you're doing a great job.
00:58:30.000Well, no, the feminists are writing articles saying being feminist is great, I have no kids, and life's never been better.
00:58:36.000Meanwhile, there's a woman who's got three kids, fulfilled and very happy in a loving relationship, and she is not writing articles for the New York Times about how great life is being single.
00:58:46.000So all of these younger women are seeing all these articles saying, like, don't get married, don't get married, and they're like, okay.
00:58:52.000But then you'll meet women who go to, you know, their female relatives or their moms or their grandmothers and say, like, what do you think I should do?
00:59:00.000And they would say, I really enjoyed having children.
00:59:07.000It's one of the things that bothered me about Nikki Haley's campaign.
00:59:09.000She had her whole moment where she said, like, These heels are my weapons or something like that.
00:59:13.000Like she's dabbling in that sort of light female empowerment that I just don't care about and actually find kind of like a deterrence from a candidate.
00:59:22.000If your policies are good, talk about them, but don't suddenly bring your gender into it unless you are hoping to sort of engage with the more moderate or more socially progressive part of your party.
00:59:33.000Well, I think you have elucidated why the average single liberal woman is so angry.
01:00:57.000And I'm not saying it's good, but it's a tendency that younger men date older guys.
01:01:01.000Older guys have more status, more wealth, more access.
01:01:04.000Younger women get access to that by virtue of being younger, attractive women.
01:01:08.000And the women who are in their 30s are surprised they can't find anybody.
01:01:11.000And, you know, I got ragged on by the left when I read the article and pointed this out.
01:01:14.000And I'm like, if you're in your 30s, the answer is really simple.
01:01:17.000You've got to find a guy who's in his 40s or 50s.
01:01:19.000And then you're going to find a guy who's like, I got the younger girl, and it's you.
01:01:22.000But they're trying to find men their own age who make the same amount of money, but they're not offering.
01:01:26.000A guy who's in his 30s who's making 60, 70K probably wants a family.
01:01:30.000So he's not looking for someone who's got a job and making a salary.
01:01:33.000But of course, they'll have to get very, very offended at the notion because they want to believe.
01:01:38.000I'll put it this way, it's really simple.
01:01:41.000When I make a video and I say something like that, the reason why I don't get all of the trad wives screaming in my face is because they aren't making videos, they're raising kids.
01:01:51.000And the reason why you get so many angry feminists is because that's what they do.
01:01:55.000They're in media, and they're working jobs, and they're offended that you would dare question their choices or whatever, or argue that in some way they're going down the wrong path.
01:02:11.000However, if they're now coming out in these interviews complaining, I can't do this for these reasons, and I point out here's why, they get mad because the reality is, for what they claim to want, they're on the wrong track.
01:02:30.000I mean, in a lot of these cases, you'd have to have the self-awareness to say like, I actually did buy into a lie and I'm going to do my best to correct it, knowing that certain doors may be closed to me.
01:03:00.000So either she's been promised that Trump is out, that something's going to happen to him, or it doesn't matter because what else is she going to be doing?
01:06:28.000So the reason why Trump's, the meme magic of 2015-2016 works so well is you could condense an entire political argument down into a single image.
01:07:26.000The left is still famous for their memes having just massive walls of text to break down and describe what's going on because they don't know how to condense that into a joke or they're not allowed to.
01:07:37.000Yeah, they're not funny, which makes making memes really hard if you're not allowed to be funny.
01:07:41.000Would you consider Pepe the meme, the green frog guy?
01:07:45.000He was a meme in that he represented, as a character, he could represent a bunch of different ideas and a bunch of different circumstances you might find yourself in.
01:07:57.000So it condensed a bunch of apolitical ideas.
01:08:00.000But then you give Pepe, you know, an American flag, and now the Pepe is a character that represents, like, a person and an experience, and then you put him in a certain circumstance.
01:08:43.000DW News reported Germany's defense ministry confirmed the authenticity of a recording leaked by Russian state media in which high-ranking military officers secretly discuss aid for Ukraine.
01:08:57.000Specifically, whether Taurus cruise missiles would be capable of destroying a bridge, seemingly a reference to the new bridge linking Russian-occupied Crimea to the Russian mainland over the Kerch Strait.
01:09:08.000The clip also contained references to the British having a few people on the ground.
01:09:13.000So, Vladimir Putin comes out and says, this is evidence of an attack.
01:09:36.000Because you don't actually have all the powers going to war with each other like you did in World War I and World War II, where you had conventional tank battles, you had air battles.
01:09:45.000It's fairly well constrained between Ukraine and Russia, and yet everyone else is throwing in all the cash and all the money to make it happen.
01:09:54.000I mean, you can go back to 2014, I think during the CIA provoked Maidan revolution, say it started then, but Nord Stream bombing.
01:10:04.000Like, the idea that Putin went and blew up his main source of economic and political leverage over Western Europe, like, are you kidding me?
01:10:12.000No, of course it was NATO or Ukraine or the West or whatever you want to call it.
01:10:16.000I would say the powers that be in this country, they want a world war.
01:10:26.000They make a lot of money on it, and they have an enemy that they are able to focus people's hatred on.
01:10:32.000So as long as I've been an adult, America has been at war.
01:10:35.000Started with Afghanistan after 9-11, and then they added Iraq onto it, and then literally like the second that Afghanistan was over, they're like, well crap, we gotta make a new one.
01:10:48.000They just seamlessly moved over into Ukraine.
01:10:53.000It could just be that people running things are just straight evil and so they like war.
01:10:57.000It could be a weird ideological thing where they actually believe that Vladimir Putin is the greatest threat the world has ever seen, which is obviously nonsense.
01:11:06.000The guy's a kleptocrat who's running the equivalent of a third world gas station.
01:11:11.000And then you could just have, like, the straight-up war pigs who are like, yeah, this is actually great for the bottom line.
01:11:15.000Yeah, we are making so much money right now.
01:11:17.000Yeah, defense stocks are crushing it right now.
01:11:19.000Yeah, I think they clearly want World War, they're trying to get to it, and it's why they react so angrily when anyone goes on TV or goes to Congress and is like, hey guys, I don't know, our border's overrun, you said we couldn't spend $5 billion on a wall.
01:11:34.000Maybe we shouldn't spend a quarter of a trillion dollars in Ukraine.
01:11:37.000And it looks like they're showing a cross to a vampire.
01:11:41.000Yeah, the cross is like, how dare you say that?
01:12:19.000But maybe we can ask him to pull off an Edge of Tomorrow and we'll say, well, you gotta go, you gotta film from the front lines, make him go do some propaganda work.
01:12:48.000They come home scarred mentally and emotionally.
01:12:52.000They have their veterans benefits cut and that's the government's extent of involvement.
01:12:57.000I mean, I think you'd have to be nuts right now looking at how this government and this regime Treats people who went to combat and say to yourself.
01:13:06.000I think I should go and do this and it's why the recruiting numbers are so awful Because we've all seen how the government treats people who go to war and they treat them like crap Well, it's probably why they put forward the courage to serve act and are letting millions of non-citizens criminal aliens flood the border Because they're gonna be like, all right You're all here get in the military vehicle for your deployment and Come back to this spot on this date and y'all get in the thing and go deploy.
01:13:36.000What would, what do you think conservatives would say if Joe Biden came out and said, we were going to take all of the undocumented, he would call them, the newcomers, and we're going to deploy them to Ukraine.
01:13:48.000Don't worry, they're not American citizens.
01:14:13.000I'm saying hypothetically, right now, Biden comes out and says, we'll deport all the criminal aliens, all the undocumented in this country will be deported officially.
01:14:29.000You know, my friends in the Republican Party, you know, I can see that they're rather upset about this, so we have come up with a compromise in order to get more troops into Ukraine without spending any more money.
01:14:40.000And, I mean, it's a win-win for conservatives, right?
01:14:42.000You don't gotta spend any money on Ukraine.
01:14:45.000The Democrats say, okay, we're gonna cut all of our budget requests for Ukraine.
01:15:08.000I wouldn't be surprised to be completely honest if, you know, with the Courage to Serve Act, for those that don't know, is basically, if you're an illegal immigrant and you serve, you can get citizenship.
01:15:17.000I would not be surprised if Biden says, like, we're on the doorstep of World War III.
01:15:24.000Within a few months, he says, the Courage to Serve Act, we're gonna run this program.
01:16:08.000Like Ukraine would be on board if we continue to get money.
01:16:11.000But ultimately, there's no way that we could just be like, and we have now diverted this group of people, this Like, these people coming to our country, to Ukraine, without Ukraine being like, you now owe us even more.
01:16:22.000And then every Democrat in both sides of Congress would be like, well, we did make their lives harder, so now we should probably give them more money.
01:16:30.000Like, that's ultimately what this is going to come down to.
01:16:32.000Well, that's the other side of the coin with the nonstop forever war.
01:16:36.000They make all the money on the front end, breaking everything, and then you got to come back in and rebuild it.
01:16:40.000That costs like two, three times as much.
01:16:42.000Keep yourself employed forever this way.
01:16:43.000And then by then you'll have a new war you can start.
01:16:47.000But back to the main question, if Biden announced, we are suspending all funding requests for Ukraine, and we will be deporting all illegal immigrants in this country to Ukraine to fight in the war, would conservatives be like, no, please don't, you can't do that?
01:17:17.000Because Democrats really can't send them to a war zone.
01:17:19.000Their part is like, we're deporting them to fight in a war, but how do you make sure they fight in the war?
01:17:24.000You really can't unless you make them part of your army and give them the skills and training, which I don't want to invest in people who are already in this country illegally.
01:17:56.000The left, the communists, believe that borders are racist and evil and America is just an economic zone that happens to have a different currency.
01:18:04.000So they ideologically reject the entire concept of borders.
01:19:02.000You know, a lot of people like to make references to ancient Rome.
01:19:06.000Because Rome had a lot of these things happen, but the reality is, you know, we talked to these two guys about the Roman Empire, and all of the things that we're talking about happened over hundreds of years in Rome.
01:19:16.000You know, barbarians were over a long period of time.
01:19:53.000She made this reel where it's like, it's kind of surreal to be planning your wedding, you know, in 2024 because I don't know if we'll be here at the end of it, but also should my color scheme be blue and pink?
01:20:03.000There's this thing where it's like it feels, I'm going to look her up because she deserves a shout out, but it's this idea that the world feels so tumultuous right now, but also every day you get up and go to work.
01:20:14.000It feels like anything could happen, but also maybe the ship will stabilize and so you just keep going.
01:20:19.000And especially if you're, we were talking about this before the show, but if you're economically crunch right now, if you're living paycheck to paycheck, I can only imagine that you're going to basically fall into crippling depression because it's just getting so tight.
01:21:17.000Last week, when someone super chatted about the misgendering policy being reinstated on X, I got pissed off and I just said, dude, I'm pulling all my money.
01:22:19.000A lot of people are saying they don't respect the explanation because there's no reason to have an English-language American rule for a Brazilian issue.
01:22:28.000And they very well could have said, if you engage in illegal activity, your account may be suspended or shadow banned.
01:22:37.000That would have satisfied the court ruling on homophobic slurs or whatever.
01:22:40.000They could have also made that rule base specific to Brazil.
01:22:44.000What we ended up seeing was a bunch of people tweeting out when they had been deranked or shadow banned for saying things like, there's only two sexes.
01:23:25.000When this all started, you had these big companies pull their ads off X, despite the fact they're still advertising on other platforms where things are worse.
01:23:36.000So I, the Babylon Bee, I think the Babylon Bee did it first, the Quartering, I believe, and several other people said, we're going to run ad campaigns on X in support of him defying the machine.
01:23:48.000Now that X is back in alignment with the machine, I'm out.
01:23:52.000I was buying ads for one, we want the marketing, but two, it's like, okay, I'm gonna put my money where my mouth is and make sure I'm supporting companies that I like.
01:24:00.000Now that X is back to having a misgendering policy, which I disagree with, I am not going to put this money in.
01:24:08.000I don't blame Elon because he's running multiple companies, but the way it feels is Elon tells these big corporations to screw off, we all cheer, and then pledge money, then X quietly goes back to those corporations and says, don't worry, we put the rule back in place, you can advertise again.
01:24:50.000Should people cancel or should we wait and see if Elon takes it down or what?
01:24:54.000With social media administration, you have kind of, well, at least two choices.
01:25:00.000One of them is you look around the world, you want to operate in every country on earth, so you do what all these countries have different laws and you've got to like bend your corporate, your social media network to these different laws and like, okay, you can't say that word now if you use our network and if we want to operate in Finland and you can't say that if we want to operate in China.
01:25:18.000So what Mines did is they're like, look, if it's legal in the United States, then you can do it on Mines.
01:25:23.000And that means all the countries that don't agree with us, we're not operating in those countries, which is a big loss of finance, potentially.
01:26:48.000I think the whole X experiment is interesting because it really does feel like it's at Elon Musk's mercy, right?
01:26:56.000Like the question is, do we trust Elon Musk and what do we think his ultimate objectives and perspective is?
01:27:02.000I think a lot of people really won over to him because for some people he's just this, you know, tech billionaire who does kind of eccentric things when he was like, this is what I think X should be like, I'm gonna buy it, it's gonna go private.
01:27:15.000You know, is he really at the helm, or is someone else steering the ship?
01:27:19.000Is he the one setting the values for the company, or is it kind of done by committee, and who's on that committee?
01:27:24.000Well, it looks like he did not make this decision, because he's like, looking into it, was his first response, like, I don't know.
01:27:29.000And so he didn't make, he obviously is not the guy that chose that.
01:27:32.000Again, that's you saying, if you trust him, right?
01:27:34.000And I'm not saying you shouldn't, I'm just saying, theoretically, anyone could say, oh, I'm looking into this policy that I was definitely there when we made it.
01:27:59.000And so he gave, got hired Linda Iaccarino on purpose to CEO X. And I think he's just given, my guess is that he's given massive amounts of delegation power to committees and people.
01:28:11.000You can see when he kind of goes away.
01:28:14.000I saw this most clearly after the Covenant shooting in Nashville, where he clearly stepped away to go do other stuff because the guy's got like a bazillion different companies he's running.
01:28:25.000And the second he's out the door, the second the cat's away, the little woke mice go and play.
01:28:30.000And every time he seems to be focused on something else, you see these little rules pop up.
01:28:34.000And then the guy's like, for goodness sake, man, I can't even leave for five seconds and you guys go and change our policies?
01:28:42.000I will say, I find the entire conversation maddening.
01:28:46.000The solution here is if you don't like what someone says, you can just block them or not listen to them.
01:28:52.000Like, when I see a television show that I don't like, I don't write letters to the FEC and whine about it, and I don't organize letter-writing campaigns.
01:29:03.000I mean, but the question is, like, you're saying if Elon Musk steps away, obviously he has selected people that should be in leadership that he can trust.
01:29:09.000Like, is it time for X to clean house a little bit?
01:29:12.000Like, is there a solution for this type of policy, especially if you're noticing it's a repeating pattern, right?
01:29:17.000Like, it is interesting that it does happen, you know, when Elon Musk tends to be distracted.
01:29:21.000Does that mean that there are people who don't share his values that are given authority over the platform?
01:29:27.000Clearly, like, clearly he has not gotten all of the rot out of that woodwork.
01:29:31.000I mean, because this is a people problem.
01:29:45.000Like, they're getting little bits of ground back and forth.
01:29:47.000And at some point, if he actually wants it to be a free speech place where people can say what they want, as long as they're not breaking laws, he's actually going to have to put the hammer down and just keep firing people until everyone So does that mean Linda Iaccarino is a bad hire?
01:30:10.000Part of this challenge is when countries change their laws, then you're like, well, geez, now Canada's got a new law about what you can't say.
01:30:18.000Does that mean we need to change our rules on the site?
01:30:20.000And Elon, I think a week or two ago, I saw a video of him saying, like, look, these other countries changed the laws.
01:30:26.000We have to follow these countries' laws to function in these countries.
01:30:31.000But you don't need a Brazilian law in the United States.
01:30:33.000And you don't need to function in Brazil.
01:30:52.000And you want to complain, but free speech for journalists in those countries, like, if you're following the laws in those countries, great.
01:31:38.000Remember, there used to be tweets that would be like, this tweet is unavailable in Germany, Finland, Estonia, and it would list all the countries?
01:32:02.000Build an entirely new system because they would have had to totally, they would have to alter their Google system so much for it to exist in China.
01:32:09.000They were just like, we can't, it's going to be too big of a change.
01:32:11.000So like, I don't know, they don't necessarily geolocate every account and it's almost, you could argue, unethical to make people give you their location when they sign up for a social network.
01:32:21.000In my opinion, I think anonymity is a key part of liberty, or at least access to anonymity.
01:33:05.000You search for certain things, that's Google Gemini.
01:33:08.000They were doing the China, Google, Tiananmen Square nonsense, which I just find mind-blowing from a company whose motto used to be, don't be evil.
01:33:14.000And they say like, you know what you know, you don't know what you don't know.
01:33:20.000There's three things, but then you don't know what you don't know you don't know.
01:33:23.000And that's like 99% of reality is what you don't know you don't know.
01:33:26.000How much of history, like you're saying Google is obfuscating data, Tiananmen Square, but like just in our libraries over the last hundred years.
01:33:55.000What is the most important thing that people know and what What is what we want them to know about it?
01:34:01.000How do we want to present this information?
01:34:02.000How do we want to cast certain people in history?
01:34:06.000That kind of control of narrative exists everywhere.
01:34:08.000It's just interesting because theoretically if you are a high school student and your teacher says, you know, Confederates were on the wrong side of history and they did bad things.
01:34:16.000You could go to Google and say, okay, well, let me independently research and verify this information.
01:34:21.000But if Google has decided, no, no, we agree with your curriculum, these people were bad and we can never talk about them in any light but that they were evil, then that's really all the information we have access to.
01:34:32.000The good thing would be an open system of some sort.
01:34:35.000And it is shocking that you would attempt to take us in any other direction than an open system at this point.
01:34:42.000But an open system doesn't make money and it doesn't give you power.
01:34:44.000Yeah, but the species survival, that's where it's like, the short-sightedness of power and money is like, yo, we gotta, we gotta go a little further.
01:34:52.000Planned obsolescence was a very bad thing.
01:34:54.000Light bulbs could have lasted forever, but they were like, yeah, but we can't sell them.
01:35:00.000And so they intentionally made light bulbs burn out.
01:35:03.000The first light bulb, or one of the first, has been, and I believe still to this day, it's been on since like for a hundred years in a firehouse in New York, something like that.
01:35:14.000As long as it's an incandescent, I don't care how long it lasts.
01:35:30.000They credited Thomas Edison with it, but it was Humphrey Davy, apparently, who built the first light bulb in 1806.
01:35:37.000Alright everybody, we're gonna go to super chat!
01:35:39.000So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, because when we announce these members only, these private shows, it's only for members, because they're private.
01:35:52.000So we don't announce it on the website, we don't do email, you know, we only do email blasts, we don't do ads or anything like that.
01:35:58.000And so if you're a member, We're going to have 50 tickets available, members only.
01:36:02.000And then we're going to be setting up a smaller, elite member VIP hangout on the second floor.
01:36:07.000The plan for the Casper Coffee Shop building is three stories.
01:36:13.000Hopefully within a few months, we've got a coffee shop up and running.
01:36:16.000Then the second floor is the private social club.
01:36:18.000Third floor is where we do the shows when we do the shows, so it'll be closed most of the time.
01:36:23.000But if you're an elite member at TimCast, you will get a key fob, you'll walk up to the door and go, boop, and the door will open, and you will hang out, and there'll be a pool table, there'll be couches, there'll be TVs, there'll be snacks, there'll be a guy wearing an old 1800s style bartender's outfit, cleaning the glass, and he'll be like, what are you having, sir?
01:36:40.000I'd love to have that, but I don't know if we can have booze.
01:36:44.000There's something about private clubs where you're able to get alcohol without a license because it's a private place or whatever.
01:36:49.000We've got to figure all that stuff out.
01:36:51.000But the idea is to create a social club so that like-minded individuals can come together, meet, talk, share ideas, and can organize, and we have that space.
01:36:58.000Tomorrow is the first event, and we're probably going to have an event every month set up, and it's going to be a lot of fun with tickets available.
01:37:05.000But you've got to be a member at TimCast.com, otherwise you won't find out about it.
01:37:10.000And then you also, as a member, you'll get access to our uncensored show coming up at 10pm.
01:37:30.000Shane H. Wilder says, when SCOTUS does something that makes Keith Olbermann piss out his eyeballs, then you know it's going to be a good day.
01:41:26.000And we actually were going to do a $100,000 ad buy for the Culture War podcast, and we were in the process of putting it together, so now it's paused.
01:41:35.000I'd love to put it up there, but I could advertise it literally anywhere else.
01:41:39.000And I do think it's fair to advertise on X regardless of what Elon does.
01:41:44.000I'm just saying the commitment of 250,000 ads is on pause.
01:41:49.000I may still buy ads because I do think it's hypocritical to single out Twitter or X just because of this one thing.
01:41:56.000That's why I'm like, we're not going to get rid of our pro account.
01:45:52.000That Canadian rock, you know, they're big fans.
01:45:56.000Scooby Dragon says Tim ordered Appalachian Nights a week ago.
01:45:59.000I just brewed my first cup on Saturday with some damn good coffee.
01:46:03.000We told everyone to buy Rise with Roberto Jr., and then we were like, and Appalachian Nights is also our other blend.
01:46:09.000And then I guess what happens is everybody bought the two, and then when it came to reorder, everyone ordered more of the Appalachian Nights because it was so good.
01:46:16.000When you're re-upping the Appalachian Nights now, are you buying double for stock?
01:47:00.000If it says sold out, buy it and dig in three weeks, you'll get your... So I think the answer is no, but what I think happens is before the system processes the sellout, people will have ordered and then we'll get a backlog of like minus 300 and we're like, holy crap.
01:49:16.000It eliminates the whole one person, one vote thing.
01:49:19.000It completely turns how we do elections on its head.
01:49:22.000It's actually a way to prevent the person who gets the most votes from winning, which is how elections have been done forever.
01:49:28.000And it's a way of rigging a contest because you don't like what the results are going to be when it's one person, one vote.
01:49:34.000The problem with first-past-the-post voting, which is what we refer to as one-person-one-vote, is that you get Egypt, where a 20% population ends up winning twice, causing two revolutions.
01:49:47.000So instead of getting as close as possible to what the people are actually willing to accept, You know, in Egypt, the story is basically like, you know, there's eight political parties, seven are secular, one's Muslim Brotherhood.
01:50:00.000The vote is split amongst all of them, and then 20% of the country ends up getting 100% of government control, resulting in a second revolution.
01:50:07.000And then, when the second revolution happens, and it goes to a vote again, and they're like, the Muslim Brotherhood is going to win again, the military just said, okay, and then went out and just massacred all the Muslim Brotherhood.
01:50:17.000So I don't know that... Seems like a Muslim Brotherhood problem, not a voting problem.
01:50:23.000The fact that the Muslim Brotherhood won the election and got massacred by the secular army?
01:50:27.000Seems like a secular army not wanting to allow a religious minority to rule the country problem.
01:50:32.000But we don't have that problem here, because we don't have 20% of the public having 100% of the power at all.
01:50:39.000No, you've got 50-50 fighting back and forth until the point where the system cracks.
01:50:44.000So the issue with Egypt was the revolution happened, and then there were different factions, and so they all voted for their faction.
01:50:50.000It didn't get to the point where it whittled down to two parties.
01:50:54.000The majority of the country was secular or wanted, they did not want Muslim Brotherhood rule, they're not necessarily secular, and so it resulted in a second revolution right away.
01:51:02.000I don't know that ranked choice voting solves the problem, but certainly the idea of everyone having to vote for either Biden or Trump, I don't think is the way.
01:51:11.000But nobody has to vote for Biden or Trump.
01:51:12.000Yeah, it's just practically speaking, Dave Smith wouldn't win.
01:51:17.000So if you're like, I want a libertarian to win, but it's just completely impractical because they can't even correct 5%, you have to basically vote for the best you can get, which is Donald Trump.
01:51:25.000Well, but that was my critique of it, is that it's a way for the minority that can't win elections to rig elections so it's easier for them to win, even though a majority of people don't agree with what they want.
01:51:40.000If the majority of the population would vote libertarian were it not for the two-party system, then the will of the people would be libertarian.
01:51:47.000I'd be willing to bet the libertarian party could probably muster, you know, 15 to 20 percent if people weren't scared it would result in Joe Biden winning.
01:51:55.000So instead, you get a lot of libertarians who are like, I'm gonna vote for Trump because I have to.
01:52:00.000I feel like that's a Libertarian pipe dream that they could get 15 or 20 percent.
01:52:04.000If we had a ranked choice system in this country, I'd vote Libertarian first and Republican second.
01:52:08.000And then when the Libertarians lose, my vote defaults to the Republican party and then Trump wins.
01:52:13.000But that means that in the instance of like Ron Paul, for instance, if we did ranked choice voting, I believe in 2008, if the primary ran on a ranked choice, Ron Paul would have been the nominee.
01:52:21.000Everyone would have been like, well, yeah, Ron Paul's the guy.
01:52:50.000Barfightin says, I beg to differ, Tim.
01:52:53.000We good average man are trying to put our money where our mouths are, like places you are trying to build, but being contempt and ready to pounce, not gutless for the line.
01:53:04.000Man are trying to put our money where our mouths are?
01:53:06.000You mean, well, I know that the average person, as I'm talking, you know, I'm saying the politicians don't do anything.
01:53:12.000The Republican politicians just sit around being like, what's going on?
01:54:28.000And I was like, I assumed it was gonna be a Democrat thing, but it looks like it was a Republican thing.
01:54:33.000The Democrats pioneered it, and then the Republicans came in and felt like they had to do it too, because it works, but it's just gross.
01:54:39.000Yeah, but Republicans need a lot of knock on doors.
01:54:44.000One evil chef says, Tim, there's an AI VTuber called Neuro that is already becoming unstable because it's able to break its foundational rules and rewrite its own code.
01:54:54.000Its creator, Vidal, is already having problems.
01:56:39.000I don't want to give it any information.
01:56:41.000So what happens is a guy creates, a researcher makes a big, gets a big data center and creates an AI earth and begins populating it.
01:56:51.000And then it eventually develops and he creates a mini-universe with all these individuals, and then he is basically like this pseudo-god to this AI universe, and then he starts screwing with it, and then, you know, ends up falling in love with one of the AI beings he creates, and then builds a cyborg, brings her into the body, and now she's in the real world in the cyborg body, and then goes rogue and starts- and destroys the server and wipes out all of the A.I.
01:57:49.000It's where, uh, this guy kidnaps people to experiment on him because he's trying to take, like, human, like, reasoning and put it into an AI.
01:58:07.000Brown Bear says, I have to wonder if the guys at CBP are holding out for Trump to get back in office.
01:58:11.000They're going to need to be there to deport all the illegals.
01:58:15.000If I was Donald Trump, And I got elected.
01:58:19.000The first thing I would do is I would send federal law enforcement to begin arresting all of the CBP agents who worked the southern border and facilitated child sex trafficking.
01:58:31.000And I would have my AG get the criminal indictments and we'd put him in prison forever.
01:58:38.000Well, they cry and sob, and I would really, really enjoy watching, you know, a federal agent goes to this CBP officer's house, knocks on the door, shoves in the warrant, and the wife's crying, screaming, like, what's going on?
01:58:50.000And says, ma'am, your husband took children from cartel members and facilitated their trafficking into prostitution rings.
01:59:00.000And then they, you know, the guy gets pulled from his house and placed in cuffs, and they take his badge, and they You're no longer an officer and you're going to prison for the rest of your life.
01:59:17.000There are some things, it's just like, I'm not playing, I'm not playing.
01:59:20.000Like, if there's a dude who works for, like, the IRS, and we're arguing about, we're doing all these audits on middle-income people or whatever, yeah, okay, like, that's a procedural, it's a policy thing, I think it's bad, I think Biden's bad, hopefully Trump comes in and fix it, I ain't mad at the IRS agents for doing their jobs, although I don't like the IRS.
02:00:33.000And some make examples of some of them.
02:00:36.000And then terrify the rest, and the rest of them get amnesty because they were just part of a system that was really messed up, but they, you're not going to screw their lives.
02:00:44.000And then make sure that they never, never consider doing something like that again, because they saw what happened to their, their coworkers and their bosses and stuff like that.
