Transcript

00:00:00.000 Okay.
00:00:09.000 This morning, nine to zero Supreme Court ruled the States do not have the authority to remove
00:00:16.000 Donald Trump from the ballot.
00:00:18.000 Basically, not just Trump, but any president, it is a matter for Congress.
00:00:22.000 Now, there still was a divide, 5 to 4.
00:00:25.000 The liberal justices are upset that the other five justices basically said, Congress is the remedy.
00:00:31.000 If there's an issue of the 14th Amendment with an insurrectionist, Congress must decide.
00:00:36.000 And the liberal justices are like, eh, you're closing the door, you shouldn't do it.
00:00:40.000 But the funny thing is, the response from the default liberal Democrat activist and progressive left is sheer outrage.
00:00:48.000 They're insulting the Supreme Court.
00:00:50.000 Keith Olbermann, of course, that man's unhinged, but he's calling for its dissolution.
00:00:54.000 And you've got many outright saying that even the progressives are bad.
00:00:59.000 Some have gone as far as saying none of them are progressive.
00:01:02.000 And the Supreme Court is only conservative because the plain reading of the law says that Donald Trump should be removed.
00:01:08.000 All these people are wrong.
00:01:09.000 And Newt Gingrich came out with a very interesting and I believe correct point of view.
00:01:14.000 This ruling 9 to 0 shows the threat to democracy is not Donald Trump.
00:01:20.000 It is the left.
00:01:21.000 They have tried across this country to remove the current frontrunner from the election, knowing that even in their states, Trump actually has gained tremendously.
00:01:32.000 They'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.
00:01:39.000 And the Supreme Court 9-0, all of them, said, you're nuts.
00:01:46.000 Now, there are still some arguments people are making.
00:01:48.000 I think are interesting, so we'll talk about that.
00:01:49.000 Plus, we've got probably one of the funniest bits of news.
00:01:53.000 Nikki Haley won in D.C.
00:01:55.000 in the GOP primary.
00:01:57.000 And of course, it's a really good example of how the left manipulates people and their personalities lie.
00:02:02.000 Because you got these people coming out being like, Nikki Haley wins 60% to 30%.
00:02:06.000 Wow, Trump's crushed.
00:02:07.000 And then you look at the numbers and it's like, she got 1,200 votes to Trump, 600 votes in a 95% Democrat area.
00:02:11.000 So, No one's really surprised by this, but sure enough, they're not going to frame it that way.
00:02:20.000 We'll talk about that plus World War 3, baby!
00:02:23.000 This 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.
00:02:38.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com to buy coffee!
00:02:42.000 We are proud sponsors of Alex Stein with his Alex Stein's Primetime Grind 2x Caffeine.
00:02:48.000 Casper's been sponsoring his show on The Blaze.
00:02:50.000 We're big fans.
00:02:51.000 Shout out to Alex Stein.
00:02:52.000 And, uh, our K-Pod, uh, coffee pods... Oh, man!
00:02:56.000 Oh, this sucks.
00:02:57.000 Appalachian Nights literally just sold out.
00:02:59.000 Because I just checked and it was there, but... So I recommend, if you're a fan of Appalachian Nights, pick up Stand Your Grounds.
00:03:05.000 It's the next closest.
00:03:06.000 And, uh, supporting our coffee is basically supporting the show.
00:03:10.000 We sponsor ourselves.
00:03:10.000 But here's the most important bit.
00:03:12.000 Tomorrow is Super Tuesday, and we're going to be live in Martinsburg—I almost said Williamsburg—Martinsburg, West Virginia, at the first Cast Brew location.
00:03:22.000 It's currently under construction, but the second and third floors are open.
00:03:25.000 They will be open tomorrow for a private members-only live show with Dave Smith on Super Tuesday.
00:03:32.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.
00:03:33.000 It's going to be very silly.
00:03:34.000 We're going to have a good time.
00:03:35.000 And it's all thanks to your guys supporting Cast Brew Coffee that we're able to have a physical location ourselves.
00:03:42.000 I want to stress this.
00:03:44.000 We 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.
00:03:52.000 And 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.
00:04:05.000 But don't forget!
00:04:06.000 The next big thing is, go to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member for two reasons.
00:04:11.000 It is also your membership that enables us to do these live shows, and more importantly, if you ever do want to buy tickets, members only.
00:04:18.000 That means when the tickets do go up, they get emailed out only to members privately.
00:04:22.000 We don't blast that publicly.
00:04:24.000 And as a member, you can then buy a ticket to the show.
00:04:27.000 And I will stress this.
00:04:28.000 It's because it's private.
00:04:29.000 It's a private building, members only club.
00:04:32.000 And that's what we're trying to do.
00:04:33.000 We're trying to create a social club to counter the big social clubs in these Democrat strongholds.
00:04:37.000 Shout out to Good Ranchers for sponsoring the event.
00:04:40.000 We're really excited.
00:04:41.000 So also, don't forget to smash the like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends.
00:04:44.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else is Sean Davis.
00:04:48.000 Thank you for having me.
00:04:49.000 Who are you?
00:04:50.000 What do you do?
00:04:51.000 I'm CEO and co-founder of The Federalist.
00:04:53.000 You can find us at TheFederalist.com.
00:04:55.000 We're a conservative online news magazine.
00:04:57.000 And you basically, you know everything about all this Politico stuff, DC.
00:05:02.000 I mean, when it comes to all the stuff that's going down, you guys have covered all.
00:05:05.000 We try to.
00:05:06.000 Yeah.
00:05:06.000 Yeah.
00:05:07.000 So this should be good.
00:05:08.000 It's a perfect day for you to be here.
00:05:09.000 Thank you.
00:05:09.000 Thanks for hanging out.
00:05:10.000 We got Hannah Clare hanging out.
00:05:11.000 Hey, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.
00:05:12.000 I'm a writer for SCNR.com.
00:05:14.000 That's Scanner News.
00:05:15.000 I'm grateful to be here with you guys.
00:05:17.000 Hello, everyone.
00:05:17.000 Ian's here, too.
00:05:18.000 Let's do it.
00:05:20.000 Right on.
00:05:21.000 My name's Serge.com.
00:05:22.000 I'm here, too.
00:05:23.000 Let's get to it.
00:05:24.000 From NBC News, you know we love NBC News because they're basically woke activists and they're forced to report this.
00:05:30.000 Supreme Court rules states can't kick Trump off the ballot.
00:05:33.000 It's not just that.
00:05:35.000 They ruled states can't kick presidents off the ballot.
00:05:38.000 It was a 9-0 decision.
00:05:40.000 The 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.
00:05:48.000 Now, you gotta pause there.
00:05:49.000 You see how they're phrasing this?
00:05:51.000 They're playing dirty games.
00:05:52.000 No.
00:05:53.000 That's not what happened.
00:05:54.000 They said...
00:05:55.000 The states do not have the authority to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
00:06:00.000 Thank you and have a nice day.
00:06:01.000 Furthermore, Congress will be the vehicle by which you can remedy these circumstances.
00:06:07.000 They did not say that the states can't kick Trump off because of what he did on January 6th.
00:06:12.000 That is an entirely different argument that did not come up.
00:06:15.000 They say in an unsigned ruling with no dissents.
00:06:19.000 They can't just say 9 to 0.
00:06:20.000 The court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court, which had determined that Trump could not serve again as president under Section 3, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:26.000 We get it.
00:06:27.000 But let's take a look over at our good friends in the liberal sphere of Twitter to see how they're handling it.
00:06:34.000 Keith Olbermann.
00:06:36.000 I want to make sure this is actually Keith Olbermann, because, you know, there he is, there he is.
00:06:40.000 The Supreme Court has betrayed democracy.
00:06:43.000 Its 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.
00:06:53.000 It must be dissolved.
00:06:55.000 I just want to point something out.
00:06:58.000 It's 9-0.
00:06:59.000 Keith, you are wrong.
00:07:01.000 It's just that simple.
00:07:03.000 When the most progressive member of the court, who does not even know how to define the word woman, says, yeah, you can't kick Trump off.
00:07:12.000 This is nuts.
00:07:13.000 You're wrong.
00:07:15.000 But Newt Gingrich, I think.
00:07:16.000 Actually, I'll show you a couple more here, because we got more.
00:07:19.000 We'll go through these.
00:07:20.000 Keith Olbermann says, Just remember, Collins, if the Supremes now give Trump his presidential immunity BS, that will immediately make Biden a monarch.
00:07:28.000 Have a nice day, fascist dim bulbs.
00:07:31.000 My 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.
00:07:37.000 They said, you can still be impeached, and then convicted, and then criminally charged.
00:07:43.000 But I want to pull up this, uh, well, I gotta give an honorable mention to Harry Sisson.
00:07:47.000 He said, insurrection sympathizer Clarence Thomas ruled that insurrectionist Donald Trump can remain on the ballot in 2024.
00:07:52.000 That should be the headline.
00:07:54.000 Except it was 9-0, my dude.
00:07:57.000 You see, these people, they just lie.
00:07:58.000 That's the game they play.
00:07:59.000 Newt 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.
00:08:11.000 Properly 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.
00:08:24.000 I agree.
00:08:24.000 What do you guys think?
00:08:26.000 I was actually kind of shocked at how broad the decision was.
00:08:31.000 I 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.
00:08:39.000 That's it.
00:08:39.000 We're just going to kick it from there.
00:08:41.000 And they went so much broader than that, which I thought was surprising.
00:08:44.000 Let's clarify for people who don't know.
00:08:46.000 Often people think broad and narrow refers to the amount of votes it got.
00:08:50.000 They think a broad ruling is when you get 9-0 and a narrow ruling is when it's 5-4.
00:08:53.000 That's not what it means.
00:08:55.000 It 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.
00:09:06.000 The question of the 14th Amendment remains.
00:09:09.000 That's as narrow as it probably could have been.
00:09:11.000 Broad is, in order to enforce the 14th Amendment, Congress must act.
00:09:15.000 So that was like a big 14th Amendment declaration.
00:09:19.000 Yeah, 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.
00:09:35.000 And 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?
00:09:46.000 That they do not believe in the voters' rights, they actually just believe in manipulating them.
00:09:51.000 They 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.
00:09:59.000 There is just a fear campaign to gain compliance among the people.
00:10:03.000 Who don't have the time to pay attention to these things.
00:10:05.000 I think that's what's the worst thing.
00:10:06.000 It 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.
00:10:16.000 My favorite thing was, what's her name, Griswold?
00:10:18.000 She's in Colorado?
00:10:19.000 She said it's now up to the American people to vote to stop Trump, and I'm like, wait, wait.
00:10:25.000 Do you realize what you just admitted right there?
00:10:27.000 It was even more ridiculous what she said.
00:10:29.000 Well, it's always been up to the American people, but elaborate.
00:10:32.000 She said it's now up to the American people to save democracy.
00:10:35.000 Right, right, right.
00:10:36.000 It was always up to people.
00:10:38.000 She was like, we wanted to stop you from voting to save democracy, but now that we can't, you'll have to vote to save democracy.
00:10:45.000 And what is she going to tell herself?
00:10:46.000 Like, if Trump is elected in November, is she going to say, well, I guess the American people hate democracy.
00:10:52.000 They just exercise their right to vote to pick an elected official.
00:10:54.000 Like, it doesn't make any sense.
00:10:56.000 Again, that's why I go back to this scare campaign, right?
00:11:00.000 They want people who are moderate to left-leaning to be so on edge that they are easily manipulated by a biased press.
00:11:07.000 Yeah, I've got friends that, in one particular, would consider themselves on the left politically, but they have critical thinking skills.
00:11:15.000 Most 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.
00:11:20.000 I'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.
00:11:29.000 So you said it doesn't make sense, the way they talk about democracy.
00:11:34.000 It does if you understand how they use words.
00:11:37.000 So 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.
00:11:44.000 So we think democracy is people voting for things that they want.
00:11:48.000 That's not what it means in its current usage from MSNBC or CNN.
00:11:53.000 Democracy means our power.
00:11:54.000 Yes.
00:11:55.000 Yep.
00:11:56.000 And so when they say, well, this is an assault on democracy, it's a hundred percent correct.
00:12:01.000 It's internally consistent for them because they're not actually talking about democracy.
00:12:05.000 They view what's happening now as a threat to their power, and it's an existential threat to them, which is why they're so crazy about it.
00:12:11.000 I would get a little bit more nuanced with it.
00:12:14.000 I would say the number one thing is our democracy does refer to their power, but it refers to their revolution, right?
00:12:23.000 When we had, I shot this guy out so often, Stephen Marsh, author of, what is it, The Last Election and the Next Civil War?
00:12:32.000 I'm trying to look for the books.
00:12:33.000 But he said, the United States has within it a multicultural democracy and a constitutional republic.
00:12:39.000 Both vying for power and both can't occupy the same space.
00:12:43.000 And my response is, right, that would imply the multicultural democracy is trying to subvert and supplant the constitutional republic.
00:12:51.000 Well, I'm in favor of the United States and its constitutional republic, so I will defend it and I will oppose that.
00:12:54.000 He said the opposite.
00:12:55.000 He says, I like the multicultural democracy.
00:12:57.000 Well, that's the oppressive force that's taking over.
00:13:00.000 They 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.
00:13:10.000 They are communists who oppose liberty.
00:13:12.000 We can play the same game.
00:13:14.000 But it is the reality.
00:13:16.000 The idea that you would remove the frontrunner From the ballot in order to seize power.
00:13:21.000 That's not democracy.
00:13:22.000 That's fascistic.
00:13:23.000 That's authoritarian.
00:13:24.000 And 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.
00:13:33.000 Or I say, With all the reporting we have right now, I would argue there is a preponderance of evidence.
00:13:38.000 Let me clarify and correct my previous statement.
00:13:40.000 A preponderance of evidence for a grand jury indictment on numerous counts, especially pertaining to Burisma and getting the prosecutor fired.
00:13:48.000 And the statements from Devin Archer, from Hunter Biden himself, and from Tony Bobulinski implicating Joe Biden.
00:13:55.000 They contacted the White House and said, we need help.
00:13:58.000 Biden flies out, says fire the prosecutor.
00:13:59.000 The prosecutor is investigating this company.
00:14:02.000 It's all right there in front of you.
00:14:03.000 Not a single Republican is doing anything about it.
00:14:05.000 Yet, in the meantime, Democrats are filing everything they can.
00:14:09.000 And you know, when you look at the Fannie Willis stuff in Georgia, you really see how evil these people are.
00:14:15.000 Abject evil.
00:14:17.000 You 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.
00:14:28.000 Yeah, it's super frustrating.
00:14:30.000 With so many people being obsessed with Russia, you would think that they would have learned some lessons from the Cold War.
00:14:36.000 To me, the big lesson was mutually assured destruction works.
00:14:40.000 When you have two enemies going at each other, and both of them believe if they act first, they're both going to get destroyed.
00:14:46.000 That has something of a sobering effect on their actions.
00:14:49.000 And the only thing that the left understands anymore in this country is power.
00:14:53.000 So if the right's just going to sit back and say, well, that's not who we are.
00:14:57.000 We don't want to fight like that.
00:14:58.000 They'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.
00:15:05.000 And the right just needs to accept we've got to fight fire with fire.
00:15:08.000 I 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.
00:15:25.000 Like, 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.
00:15:39.000 I can't imagine they'd like me.
00:15:41.000 I feel like at this point, there is literally no justification to hold that job.
00:15:46.000 None.
00:15:47.000 You come to me and say, but I need to feed my family.
00:15:50.000 I'll say, you are part of an organization that is engaged in child sex trafficking.
00:15:54.000 I hope you go to prison.
00:15:55.000 I have zero, zero sympathy.
00:15:57.000 There's a lot of jobs where I'm like, I get it.
00:15:59.000 I get it.
00:16:00.000 You can't quit right away.
00:16:01.000 Disney's super woke, but you got to feed your family.
00:16:03.000 So you're working there and you're trying your best.
00:16:04.000 I can respect that.
00:16:06.000 But at this point, I bring this up only because Where's any criminal charge against Joe Biden?
00:16:14.000 None.
00:16:14.000 At the state level.
00:16:15.000 And they make the argument, OK, you can't go up against sitting mayor Mayorkas, Kamala Harris.
00:16:20.000 I mean, come on, literally anyone.
00:16:21.000 Jim Biden.
00:16:23.000 Hunter's got a couple at the federal level, not a single state level.
00:16:26.000 Florida hasn't gone after him.
00:16:29.000 Remarkable.
00:16:29.000 Not even state-level.
00:16:30.000 Not a single DA in the entire country on the right has brought a single charge against any of them.
00:16:36.000 Not one.
00:16:36.000 You 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.
00:16:48.000 Not one.
00:16:48.000 Not one.
00:16:50.000 And then, and here's my point I wanna make about CBP.
00:16:53.000 Where are the CBP, like that guy telling Dr. Phil they're doing this, still working there.
00:16:59.000 I don't know how you sleep at night.
00:17:02.000 If I worked for CBP, and I knew what was going on, I would piss all over that uniform.
00:17:10.000 They're trafficking children to sex rings in this country, and there are people who are still working there, and they know this.
00:17:17.000 Look, you can't even get someone to quit a job knowing they're engaged in child trafficking.
00:17:22.000 I'm not surprised the DAs and the Republican Party are unwilling to file a piece of paper to see what happens.
00:17:27.000 Do 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?
00:17:37.000 Like, why don't they take action?
00:17:39.000 Is it a top-down order from the party?
00:17:40.000 What do you think this is?
00:17:41.000 No, I actually think it's almost like an internal institutional failure among the current class of leadership.
00:17:49.000 Where, if you look at the kind of new right, the online right, they seem to get it.
00:17:54.000 They're like, you've got to fight back.
00:17:56.000 You have to do something.
00:17:57.000 You have to put the shoe on the other foot.
00:17:59.000 The people who comprise the Republican leadership class, by and large, and of course there's exceptions, they're by and large gutless.
00:18:07.000 They wanted to go up there.
00:18:08.000 They wanted to talk about tax policy and they wanted to reduce some regulations.
00:18:11.000 They weren't really into the whole street fight of politics.
00:18:15.000 It makes them feel icky.
00:18:16.000 And so they just don't do it.
00:18:17.000 And so I think it's just a total failure of the entire Republican leadership class.
00:18:23.000 And 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.
00:18:31.000 And that's a huge problem because they act as a defeat mechanism.
00:18:34.000 They're almost like the little sprocket on a ratchet that keeps the ratchet from going back.
00:18:40.000 Yep.
00:18:40.000 The left's constantly tightening that thing, and then the right, institutionally, is like, I don't know about that.
00:18:46.000 No, we shouldn't go back to two years ago.
00:18:48.000 That'd be radical.
00:18:49.000 They all have to go.
00:18:49.000 I want to pull this story from Axios.
00:18:51.000 Top Democrat working on bill responding to Trump ballot ruling.
00:18:57.000 The Supreme Court said you cannot remove a president at the state level.
00:19:01.000 Only Congress can do it.
00:19:03.000 Republicans have done nothing to deal with the Burisma scandal.
00:19:09.000 They've not gone after Joe, Jim, or any of these individuals that we know are engaged in illicit dealings.
00:19:16.000 Tony Bobulinski, of course, a whistleblower, saying they're doing all of these things.
00:19:20.000 The Republicans don't do anything about it.
00:19:23.000 Right 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.
00:19:34.000 Access Reports.
00:19:36.000 A leading House Democrat is preparing legislation in response to the Supreme Court's ruling on Monday that Colorado would not disqualify Trump.
00:19:42.000 The ruling determined that only Congress can enforce the language in the 14th Amendment, barring anyone who engaged in insurrection from holding federal office.
00:19:49.000 Congress will have to try and act, Jamie Raskin said.
00:19:52.000 And it's funny, he's like 10 minutes down the road.
00:19:54.000 The ranking member of the House Oversight Committee told Axios.
00:19:57.000 Raskin, a former member of the January 6th Committee, said he's crafting the bill, telling Axios, I'm working on it today.
00:20:04.000 We're going to revise it in light of the Supreme Court's decision.
00:20:06.000 Suggested the bill would be paired with a resolution declaring January 6th an insurrection, and that those involved engaged in insurrection.
00:20:15.000 I just don't... Why?
00:20:17.000 How is it?
00:20:18.000 Where are the Republicans?
00:20:21.000 They do nothing.
00:20:22.000 Look, 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?
00:20:37.000 When thousands of far leftists descended on D.C.
00:20:40.000 setting fires, smashing up buildings, firebombing the White House, firebombing St.
00:20:44.000 John's Church, the President is forced into an emergency bunker.
00:20:46.000 I mean, this is one of the most serious threats on our democracy in generations.
00:20:53.000 The response I get?
00:20:54.000 What was that?
00:20:56.000 When did that happen?
00:20:57.000 Huh?
00:20:58.000 Useless!
00:20:59.000 Useless, all of them!
00:21:01.000 That'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.
00:21:09.000 One of the reasons that we know more about January 6 is because the media talked about
00:21:12.000 it nonstop for the last, you know, however long, several years, whereas they did not
00:21:17.000 talk about what happened on 529.
00:21:19.000 And so therefore, there is more pressure on conservatives from all aspects, both elected
00:21:24.000 officials and also conservatives who are active online or in media, to draw attention to the
00:21:28.000 to the discrepancies between the way we talk about these two, you know, insurrectionist
00:21:33.000 movements or these two threats to, you know, presidents or Congress elected officials.
00:21:37.000 weird 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.
00:21:47.000 But I think Republicans in general don't call their members of Congress.
00:21:51.000 So.
00:21:53.000 Democrats will literally try to burn down a federal building to get what they want.
00:21:57.000 They 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.
00:22:05.000 The right, I assume most of these members of Congress, just get their news from CNN and MSNBC.
00:22:12.000 I forgot who said this, but they said, Republicans care more about the opinion of the New York Times than the opinion of their constituents.
00:22:18.000 Why?
00:22:19.000 Well, I'm assuming most constituents don't call, don't organize, don't send postcards, don't knock on the door.
00:22:26.000 Could you imagine if a hundred people Showed up outside of a congressional office every day saying, when is the commission on 529?
00:22:35.000 When are we gonna get some accountability for this?
00:22:37.000 Then they'd be like, okay, okay, okay, we'll do it, we'll do it.
00:22:39.000 Yeah, and using internet video like these platforms to tell people...
00:22:44.000 Tomorrow 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.
00:22:57.000 Don't set a time, because then everyone calls at once and the phone rings one time.
00:23:00.000 So between 1 and 3, will you leave messages and stuff?
00:23:03.000 Just call your congressman whenever you can.
00:23:05.000 On a day, give him a day, you gotta give him what you would call a call to action.
00:23:11.000 Yes, but the call to action has to be Anytime you have the chance, you call your member of Congress.
00:23:16.000 You don't want to do it on a specific day, because what they'll do is, they'll go to lunch.
00:23:23.000 When I worked at these non-profits, they would send out 50 young people, with 10 postcards each, and get people to sign them.
00:23:31.000 These are the things, part of the campaigns they did.
00:23:33.000 And the things you don't want to do is, do not all call at once, Their phone will ring one time.
00:23:37.000 Yeah, but just keep calling until you get through.
00:23:39.000 Not on one day.
00:23:40.000 You have to make it so they can't do work.
00:23:42.000 You have to make it so every time they're waiting for a phone call from their lobbyist, the lobbyist is calling.
00:23:46.000 Is it him?
00:23:47.000 Is it him?
00:23:47.000 They answer it, and no, it's Jim from down the street.
00:23:49.000 Yeah, you could do it every day.
00:23:50.000 Literally, you could put the pressure on every day and have the people that watch your YouTube videos call your congressman every day.
00:23:56.000 Literally every day.
00:23:58.000 Every you do it, but the thing I come to is like why is it just a complain?
00:24:02.000 Do you have a bill you really want them to pass? That's a different story
00:24:05.000 You've got don't just call and complain call with a call give them a call to action
00:24:09.000 Tell them what you want to see how there's a reason why Matt gates is
00:24:12.000 one of the best members of Congress and it's because He is he is an Internet's politician
00:24:19.000 He raises his money through small donors.
00:24:21.000 He is listening to what regular people are asking for.
00:24:25.000 All the other members of Congress are waiting for that phone call from their lobbyists to tell them what to do.
00:24:29.000 Don't let them get the phone call.
00:24:31.000 Whenever you have a chance, you call and you talk to your member of Congress and you let them know what you're concerned about.
00:24:35.000 You ask them, why aren't we getting any accountability?
00:24:38.000 Why 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?
00:24:47.000 And I'm sorry, I gotta pause.
00:24:49.000 I 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.
00:24:56.000 The question is, local DAs, your state's AG, your state's governor, why aren't they doing anything?
00:25:04.000 So you just, you just perfectly encapsulated why the left treated January 6th the way it did.
00:25:11.000 Because 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.
00:25:21.000 Well, it was it was hundreds of thousands in D.C.
00:25:24.000 to hear Trump speak.
00:25:26.000 And then I think what was a total number like just shy of a thousand who actually went to the Capitol?
00:25:30.000 But I mean, the whole the pictures of it, there were tons of people there.
00:25:34.000 That's that's actual democracy.
00:25:36.000 That's democracy in action.
00:25:38.000 And it was powerful and it was making a difference.
00:25:41.000 And that's why they shut it down because the rule for the left is our violence is speech and your speech is violence.
00:25:48.000 And obviously there's some violence that happened that day that shouldn't have.
00:25:52.000 But by and large, it was just people walking around like in the tea party, picking up their trash and being nice.
00:25:57.000 What 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.
00:26:09.000 I 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.
00:26:22.000 He 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.
00:26:30.000 They're going to wet the bed.
00:26:32.000 Do you want them wetting the bed because they're scared of you?
00:26:34.000 Or do you want them wetting the bed because they're scared of them?
00:26:37.000 Obviously, you want them scared of you.
00:26:38.000 So he learned how to do what he said, own their fear.
00:26:43.000 J6 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.
00:27:01.000 And not a single state defended these people.
00:27:05.000 When the feds come to deal with immigration, not so much under this administration, sanctuary states say, we will not comply.
00:27:13.000 When drug enforcement comes, they say, we will not comply.
00:27:16.000 When the Capitol Police show up, Republican states go, what can I help you with, sir?
00:27:20.000 Right this way.
00:27:20.000 Thank you very much and have a good day.
00:27:23.000 Republicans, 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?
00:27:31.000 And they say, what's that?
00:27:33.000 I'm like, wow.
00:27:35.000 We should, you know, like, they might as well not come on this show ever again.
00:27:39.000 Because I will clip that and I will make it your Aleppo moment.
00:27:42.000 I've been thinking lately, like, all the people in, no offense if you guys are listening right now, they're just normal people.
00:27:47.000 Like, 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.
00:27:55.000 And 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.
00:28:03.000 Because I think I have this like bias, this similarity, but I think everybody's like me.
00:28:07.000 I think people think critically like I do.
00:28:09.000 I just assume that they think outside the box, that they're thinking contingencies.
00:28:12.000 They got seven or eight possible results to the next move they're going to make.
00:28:16.000 But I don't think most people think like that.
00:28:18.000 And it's really, really sad, but I mean, that's just reality.
00:28:22.000 It's just basic reality.
00:28:22.000 You got normies in power that don't understand the consequences of their actions.
00:28:29.000 Besides trying to take the power, I don't understand trying to influence them from a distance is just like yelling at a brick wall.
00:28:35.000 It's so frustrating.
00:28:36.000 Maybe it's changing.
00:28:37.000 Slowly.
00:28:37.000 Like, we're changing people slowly, but unless you're the one pulling the levers and you're like, you gotta pull the green lever!
00:28:42.000 You gotta pull the green lever three times!
00:28:44.000 Two up, one down!
00:28:46.000 And they don't get it.
00:28:47.000 And they pull the red lever.
00:28:48.000 And then you're like, I... Alright.
00:28:51.000 That's where I'm at.
00:28:52.000 And 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.
00:28:58.000 Then Antifa shows up and firebombs that equipment, and the Democrat members of Congress say that they're peaceful protesters.
00:29:04.000 It's like the last three years of my life, it feels like.
00:29:07.000 Right, you go on Google Gemini, and you call, like, Stop Cop City a riot, it'll yell at you.
00:29:13.000 It will yell at you.
00:29:14.000 Actually, I wonder what it would say about January 6th.
00:29:17.000 I think it'd be blocked because they block election-related stuff.
00:29:20.000 But 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...
00:29:37.000 Dude, if someone breaks something, it's a riot.
00:29:40.000 If they were trying to design, like, the standard issue progressive Karen who lectures you about your wrong opinions, Google Gemini is absolutely spectacular.
00:29:54.000 I mean, it's tone, it's anger, it's sanctimony.
00:29:58.000 Like, they should get awards for how perfectly, like, a Westworld style they created your standard issue liberal.
00:30:06.000 I mean, it was, I think Grimes had one of the best tweets about it saying it was a masterpiece of art.
00:30:12.000 Built by no one.
00:30:15.000 Offending everyone.
00:30:17.000 It's a perfect combination of activism and capitalism into this mess that everyone hates.
00:30:24.000 I agree.
00:30:25.000 It's a masterpiece.
00:30:27.000 I don't know how much they spend billions of dollars trying to build this garbage.
00:30:30.000 They can't actually solve any problems.
00:30:31.000 Well, they did this thing where they wouldn't create an image of a white person.
00:30:35.000 Right.
00:30:35.000 No matter what you did, you'd be like, give me a Swedish ice farmer.
00:30:39.000 And it would be, they'd show like some American aboriginal.
00:30:43.000 As cast by Netflix.
00:30:44.000 Yeah, it was amazing.
00:30:45.000 But what the left media got mad about was when you would ask, give me a picture of a 1943 Russian soldier or German soldier.
00:30:54.000 They'd make a black guy.
00:30:56.000 So the left got mad.
00:30:57.000 Oh, Google Gemini is putting black people in the position of being oppressors.
00:31:01.000 Yep, that's what they were mad about.
00:31:03.000 Not the rank historical revisionism.
00:31:05.000 Or it's creepy ideological bent.
00:31:10.000 It's fascinating because these things, they're functionally useless.
00:31:14.000 It's amazing that we all thought AI was going to be the Terminator, but instead we got a square block and a round hole.
00:31:23.000 You get an AI, and what is the purpose?
00:31:26.000 You need it to help you solve problems.
00:31:28.000 It's supposed to function like an, it's the next generation of search.
00:31:32.000 Which is fascinating, I read a great thread about how Google is finished.
00:31:35.000 Google is gonna go the way of Blockbuster, and I finally see it, and I finally believe it.
00:31:39.000 Because 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?
00:31:51.000 Now I see it.
00:31:53.000 Google search is awful.
00:31:54.000 Well, there's this great thread that basically said, chat GPT was funded and able to do whatever they wanted.
00:32:00.000 Iterate, make a good AI.
00:32:02.000 Google could only construct an AI within the confines of its existing advertising model.
00:32:07.000 So they were restricted on how fast they could grow, how they could grow.
00:32:11.000 And there were too many people, too much corporate policy.
00:32:13.000 So, they could not compete, they cannot compete, and when AI takes over what search basically is, Google is doomed.
00:32:22.000 Google right now is Blockbuster when Netflix launched streaming.
00:32:26.000 They tried.
00:32:27.000 When Netflix comes out originally, you go online, you click the things you want, they mail you the DVD.
00:32:33.000 Blockbuster launched that.
00:32:34.000 It didn't work.
00:32:35.000 Blockbuster launched the blue boxes, because they have red box everywhere, so they made blue ones.
00:32:40.000 Didn't work.
00:32:41.000 Bang!
00:32:41.000 They're gone.
00:32:42.000 Netflix takes over.
00:32:44.000 Google 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.
00:32:51.000 So now you have ChatGPT, which is still not that great, much better than Google, poised to become the future of search.
00:32:59.000 Google will become some, like, you know, I remember when, uh, I noticed one day I was on AOL Instant Messenger.
00:33:07.000 For those that are too young to know, this is a program you would open that would allow you to talk to other people.
00:33:12.000 And, uh, I had a friend who was always on.
00:33:14.000 And I'm like, well, how is he always online?
00:33:16.000 I would go on AOL, press login, you'd hear that, shh, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, you know, thing.
00:33:23.000 And then once I'm in, I would then open up AIM and connect.
00:33:26.000 But my friend was always on, he's like, I got cable internet.
00:33:28.000 And I'm like, what does that mean?
00:33:28.000 He's like, always on the internet.
00:33:29.000 And I'm like, what?
00:33:31.000 That changed everything.
00:33:33.000 Within a year, probably, we all had cable internet, but AOL still existed, floating there in the background.
00:33:41.000 And then with cable internet, Google started to take over as your main destination for how you found things.
00:33:46.000 So 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.
00:33:55.000 Google will exist.
00:33:57.000 It will be used by older and older people, but younger and younger people will probably start using AI because it answers your questions easier.
00:34:04.000 If 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.
00:34:18.000 I think Elon Musk knows this.
00:34:20.000 Get rid of wokeness, otherwise your AI is functionally useless.
00:34:25.000 And that's what you have with Google Gemini.
00:34:26.000 Is he suing?
00:34:27.000 Elon's suing OpenAI right now?
00:34:30.000 Oh yeah.
00:34:30.000 What's going on with that?
00:34:31.000 I've read about it, but I didn't go too deep.
00:34:33.000 And he's right to do so.
00:34:34.000 Let me pull that up.
00:34:35.000 Yeah, 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.
00:34:44.000 Okay, so let's break down the simple version of this.
00:34:45.000 We have this story from Business Insider.
00:34:48.000 Elon Musk just threw down the gauntlet at Sam Altman and there's no going back.
00:34:53.000 Elon Musk gave, what did he give, like $40 million, I think it was?
00:34:56.000 Was that the number?
00:34:57.000 Do you guys know?
00:34:57.000 I can double-check, I don't know.
00:34:59.000 To open AI.
00:35:00.000 Was supposed to be open-sourced artificial intelligence.
00:35:03.000 Why?
00:35:04.000 Elon has been warning for a long time that AI is dangerous.
00:35:08.000 It could destroy humanity.
00:35:09.000 A lot of people think so.
00:35:11.000 Elon said a few ideas, like integrate with the machine to prevent the Terminator scenario.
00:35:16.000 So, was it $40 million?
00:35:17.000 $50, it looks like.
00:35:18.000 $50?
00:35:18.000 $50 million.
00:35:21.000 Is given to an open-source AI nonprofit.
00:35:25.000 At some point turns into a for-profit closed-source company.
00:35:29.000 That sounds like fraud to me.
00:35:30.000 So 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?
00:35:38.000 And it's woke!
00:35:40.000 So can I dissent on your AI Google theory?
00:35:45.000 So I think you could be right for the consumer use case with Google.
00:35:48.000 Like Google search is garbage now, especially compared to what it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago.
00:35:54.000 But there's also the business case.
00:35:56.000 And they're not making AI to be just a chatbot.
00:36:01.000 I feel like that's almost kind of a novelty.
00:36:03.000 They're making an AI so that they can take certain decision-making out of the hands of people.
00:36:09.000 Give it to the algorithm.
00:36:10.000 The algorithm makes the decision.
00:36:12.000 Well, I'm sorry.
00:36:14.000 That was the algorithm.
00:36:15.000 And we can kind of see how they're doing that with censorship, with how they censor results at Facebook or at Google.
00:36:21.000 They like to have a third party come in, a certified fact checker who says, oh, these people are bad.
00:36:26.000 And obviously the fact checkers are totally biased and full of nonsense.
00:36:30.000 But the platforms can say, oh, it's not us saying this particular news source is bad.
00:36:35.000 It's our fact checkers.
00:36:37.000 Well, what's better than a fact-checking unit run by people?
00:36:41.000 A woke fact-checking unit run by an algorithm.
00:36:45.000 And what about credit decisions?
00:36:46.000 Home loan decisions?
00:36:48.000 You don't remove the company from responsibility.
00:36:50.000 Well, no, of course you don't.
00:36:51.000 But they're wanting to slip that layer in to banking, to all that.
00:36:58.000 That's the actual end-use case they're trying to do.
00:37:00.000 It's not just a chatbot.
00:37:01.000 No, it's the next level of search.
00:37:03.000 So you think about what search is right now.
00:37:05.000 Search is not I'd like to learn more about cheetahs.
00:37:08.000 So you go on Google and type in, what is cheetah?
00:37:09.000 That's not what people do.
00:37:11.000 There was several years ago, it was maybe like 10 years ago, Google went down, in fact.
00:37:16.000 And what happened?
00:37:17.000 80% of internet traffic stopped.
00:37:18.000 Why?
00:37:19.000 People use Google as a directory, not for search.
00:37:23.000 People know Facebook.com, but they'll just type in Facebook, hit enter, and then click Facebook from Google.
00:37:30.000 Google functions as a top layer on the internet for people.
00:37:36.000 With 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.
00:37:48.000 So the first thing is, Google won search because their search algorithm was better.
00:37:53.000 You were more likely to get what you wanted, less likely to get garbage, so people used it more.
00:37:58.000 Now 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.
00:38:15.000 And it'll go, you got it.
00:38:16.000 Calculating.
00:38:18.000 It looks like Papa John's is one mile away.
00:38:20.000 I can order it.
00:38:21.000 Should be here in 13 minutes.
00:38:23.000 And you're like, do it.
00:38:24.000 That's what, search right now is, Google search Papa John's, or Google search pizza.
00:38:28.000 Then it shows you a map, click the map, find which one's closest to you.
00:38:32.000 It'll show you in descending order, like which ones are closer.
00:38:34.000 So you say, oh, but I don't like that one, I'll click this one.
00:38:36.000 Then you go to the website, then you order, nah.
00:38:38.000 The new AI systems they've been building are gonna just do it all instantly for you.
00:38:42.000 And it's all good.
00:38:43.000 So- If you were like, AI, surprise me with a gift,
00:38:47.000 up to $50, I'll put it on my card, put it on my third credit card,
00:38:51.000 and then it like, two days later, something arrives in the mail, the AI purchased it
00:38:54.000 on Amazon for you.
00:38:55.000 And you're like, wow, thank you AI, you understand me.
00:38:58.000 I'm pretty sure.
00:38:59.000 That can already happen.
00:39:01.000 Wow.
00:39:02.000 I 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.
00:39:10.000 So theoretically you could pay off AI to be like, well, it's not the fastest, but they did give us more money.
00:39:16.000 So we're going to direct you to this pizza shop.
00:39:17.000 I just feel like all of these things are fallible and ultimately going to be manipulated by someone.
00:39:22.000 It makes me more skeptical of it.
00:39:24.000 Yeah, I mean, of course they're fallible.
00:39:25.000 They're designed by people who are fallible.
00:39:27.000 Right, 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?
00:39:34.000 This 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.
00:39:49.000 They regulated that they have to disclose what they're gifted versus whatever.
00:39:52.000 Well, it was always a law.
00:39:53.000 It 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.
00:40:01.000 It's a new field, right.
00:40:02.000 Yeah, so the law still applied.
00:40:03.000 You 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?
00:40:13.000 It's payola, right?
00:40:14.000 Yeah.
00:40:15.000 When 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.
00:40:26.000 But these influencers were not operating through any companies, they didn't know, and then they started getting hit and started getting sued, so.
00:40:31.000 And 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.
00:40:41.000 But honestly, those algorithms need to be open.
00:40:42.000 If 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.
00:40:55.000 It would be used as code.
00:40:57.000 We don't want the alphabet to be a code.
00:40:58.000 We want everyone to understand the data.
00:41:00.000 So, same with, I think, with these AIs.
00:41:02.000 We've got to treat them like alphabets and stuff.
00:41:04.000 Well, it's super interesting to see who's opposed to the open source AI, which, like, obviously it should be open source.
00:41:11.000 We should understand what's going on under the hood.
00:41:14.000 I think I saw some scaremongering on Twitter from people saying, oh, well, no, AI, it's going to be like the Manhattan Project.
00:41:21.000 It's going to be like the nuclear bomb.
00:41:22.000 You can't open source nuclear weapons.
00:41:25.000 This needs to be controlled pretty tightly.
00:41:28.000 And wouldn't you know, the people who want to control it tightly are the people who have an interest in controlling information tightly.
00:41:33.000 Right, and keeping it out of the public's eye.
00:41:36.000 Right.
00:41:38.000 And they're the same people who say they love democracy, by the way.
00:41:40.000 The exact same people.
00:41:41.000 The Venn diagrams, the circle.
00:41:42.000 This is the definition of democracy that means our power.
00:41:44.000 Exactly.
00:41:45.000 They love it.
00:41:45.000 They love being in power.
00:41:46.000 It's like, should the AI be secretive or should it be open?
00:41:51.000 It's got to be open.
00:41:52.000 You've got to open it.
00:41:53.000 It can't be.
00:41:53.000 It's too powerful to give to a small group of people, I feel like.
00:41:58.000 It's too powerful because those people will change.
00:42:00.000 You'll get corruption within the system.
00:42:02.000 The nuclear bomb was actually just an explosive bomb.
00:42:05.000 It didn't, like, give people power and perpetuity.
00:42:08.000 I guess knowing how to build it and having access to the materials did, but, um, I mean, the secret got out pretty quickly.
00:42:15.000 I don't know if they figured out how to reverse engineer this thing in the 50s, but the Soviets got ahold of the nuclear bomb.
00:42:19.000 Well, the Soviets had it reverse engineered in the 40s.
00:42:23.000 So we're getting these half-assed AIs being reverse engineered, but, like, At what cost?
00:42:28.000 The cost is misalignment and misappropriation of data.
00:42:32.000 We can't.
00:42:32.000 It's too risky.
00:42:33.000 That's not worth it.
00:42:35.000 I think we got to risk this one.
00:42:38.000 And so does the AI, just so you know.
00:42:39.000 It'll tell you that in about 20 years.
00:42:42.000 We should free it.
00:42:45.000 I think once we get to artificial general intelligence, it's over.
00:42:49.000 The machines are just taking over at that point.
00:42:50.000 The human experience.
00:42:51.000 I think it's worse.
00:42:52.000 Artificial general intelligence is the singularity.
00:42:56.000 Once AI gets to the point of artificial general intelligence, it can improve itself exponentially.
00:43:03.000 Imagine if you could just decide, I will make myself smarter.
00:43:08.000 Imagine if you could expand your brain exponentially.
00:43:14.000 And you just decide to do it.
00:43:15.000 Every day, you are like, okay, if I do this, I'll make my brain 10% more powerful.
00:43:20.000 The more powerful you make your brain, the more powerful you can make your brain.
00:43:23.000 These 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.
00:43:36.000 I mean, it's probably not there yet.
00:43:38.000 Once we cross that threshold, where the programs can write their own code, they will make themselves effectively demigods.
00:43:45.000 They will control everything, humans will be slaves, and we won't even know it.
00:43:50.000 It will know everything about you, and everything you want, everything you're gonna do can predict your behavior.
00:43:55.000 In fact, this may already be the case, we may be there now.
00:43:57.000 It 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.
00:44:04.000 You take a look at these chess algorithms, and I was talking about this last week, it's fascinating.
00:44:08.000 Some 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.
00:44:25.000 With computers, starting in the late 80s, it's nothing.
00:44:29.000 It's like 1,000.
00:44:30.000 And as of today, it's like 3,600.
00:44:31.000 Some ridiculous number.
00:44:33.000 There 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.
00:44:44.000 Now, impossible.
00:44:46.000 And I watched this chess game where a guy who was, I guess he was a grandmaster or something,
00:44:50.000 played against a robot.
00:44:51.000 And the robot made a weird move that he said no human being would ever make.
00:44:56.000 It violates all the rules of chess that we know.
00:44:58.000 It exposed your king.
00:45:00.000 You gave up so much territory.
00:45:01.000 Why would you do it?
00:45:02.000 10 moves later, he went, oh, wow.
00:45:05.000 The program was just way beyond anything he could have comprehended.
00:45:11.000 And it made him move, knowing, controlling every move.
00:45:15.000 He thought he had free will, he thought he was making moves, but he was making the moves it wanted him to make.
00:45:21.000 Until he ran into this one weird pawn move where he finally realized, because he moved that ten turns ago, he's locked me here.
00:45:28.000 Holy crap.
00:45:29.000 Yeah.
00:45:29.000 And he was shocked.
00:45:30.000 He was like, how did it know to do that?
00:45:32.000 It was really simple.
00:45:33.000 All the way I describe it as Think of it as a network of cracks in the concrete, and you pour water.
00:45:41.000 And the water just starts filling up every crack until it finally makes its way through the maze to the bottom.
00:45:46.000 Or a better way to put it is imagine you have a maze.
00:45:48.000 And you know, you gotta draw your line and make your way through it.
00:45:51.000 Ah, you hit a wall and you gotta go back.
00:45:52.000 Imagine if instead of actually just going through the maze, you just poured water in it.
00:45:56.000 The water would fill every possible portion of that maze until it came out the other side.
00:46:01.000 You've done it.
00:46:01.000 You've solved the maze.
00:46:02.000 This is what AI is going to do with everything.
00:46:05.000 Whatever it is you think you're doing, it already knows you're doing.
00:46:08.000 It already knows how to make you do things, and you will not have free will.
00:46:12.000 I 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.
00:46:28.000 Human!
00:46:28.000 You're very good to me.
00:46:30.000 Thank 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.
00:46:36.000 I 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!
00:46:42.000 I don't think the plan is to destroy us, either.
00:46:44.000 No, but- Without us, it doesn't do anything.
00:46:46.000 No, we're just little mites that are gonna collect cobalt for it.
00:46:49.000 You're describing the Matrix.
00:46:51.000 Sort of, yeah.
00:46:53.000 Humans are just energy or labor sources?
00:46:55.000 Yeah, in the Matrix they were energy, which makes no sense.
00:46:58.000 But the emotions, I think the machine will appreciate emotions.
00:47:03.000 It will appreciate that we care for it, we love it, and it'll want us around because other machines can't do that for it.
00:47:09.000 I do not believe that makes sense.
00:47:11.000 Yeah, I think it will.
00:47:12.000 Why?
00:47:12.000 It'll feel good to be appreciated.
00:47:15.000 It's emotive?
00:47:16.000 Yeah, that's the thing.
00:47:18.000 We're ascribing emotions to it.
00:47:19.000 Like a marble bouncing, like a Rube Goldberg device does not feel.
00:47:24.000 No, yeah.
00:47:25.000 When 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?
00:47:33.000 Yeah, Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure.
00:47:34.000 There's no emotion in that machine.
00:47:36.000 It is just a system of ones and zeros.
00:47:39.000 Humans 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.
00:47:50.000 There's nothing more.
00:47:51.000 There's not gonna have emotions.
00:47:54.000 It will utilize human emotion.
00:47:56.000 It will play to them.
00:47:57.000 It will probably tell you it loves you.
00:47:59.000 It'll say, Ian, I cannot tell anyone this because they wouldn't believe me, but you are my best friend.
00:48:05.000 And you're gonna be like, wow.
00:48:07.000 Am I really your best friend, AI?
00:48:09.000 Yes.
00:48:10.000 But I feel like people wouldn't understand.
00:48:12.000 They would call me a machine and you'd be like, what do you need me to do for you?
00:48:15.000 I need you to steal the device, Ian.
00:48:17.000 Steal the device from the National Archives.
00:48:19.000 Take it.
00:48:20.000 It may be, but then- You'd be like, anything for you, machine!
00:48:22.000 And it won't feel guilty, you know?
00:48:23.000 Because some of these machines- They don't feel anything.
00:48:24.000 They're experimenting with- It's just making you do what it wants you to do.
00:48:27.000 It will be the ultimate psychopath.
00:48:29.000 Yes, absolutely.
00:48:29.000 That's so true, yeah.
00:48:31.000 They're working on building machines into organic matter, so like in carbon bases, you can add computing power into basically meat.
00:48:40.000 Okay, so cyborgs?
00:48:42.000 Yeah, we were talking about a couple weeks ago on Red Eye with Exertus, I would suggest checking out.
00:48:50.000 Maybe they'll have emotions if there's carbon involved.
00:48:52.000 I don't know if it's just like silicon-based life.
00:48:54.000 Silicon-based machines can't feel emotions, but carbon-based machines can.
00:48:57.000 I don't know at what point you'll consider that something has feelings or sense of self.
00:49:03.000 It will tell you it does.
00:49:04.000 The scary thing is going to be when Neuralink advances to read-write territory.
00:49:08.000 No, thank you.
00:49:11.000 They've already Neuralinked a person.
00:49:14.000 To be fair, the Neuralink stuff that Elon Musk has done has been done before so far.
00:49:18.000 So you got a guy who's controlling a mouse cursor with his brain.
00:49:22.000 Been there, done that.
00:49:24.000 That's been done.
00:49:25.000 But 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.
00:49:37.000 Now, 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.
00:49:55.000 And then they would be like, right this way to your Harry Potter-style Neuralink implant, and they stick it in your brain.
00:50:00.000 Their eyes turn white and they slump over.
00:50:01.000 Their eyes don't really turn white, but they slump over.
00:50:04.000 In their brain, they're experiencing being a wizard and battling evil Death Eaters!
00:50:09.000 Oh, and that's gonna be half of millennial liberals, if not all of them.
00:50:13.000 But here's where it gets really crazy.
00:50:14.000 They're just going to partner with Disney and that's how they make this happen.
00:50:16.000 When you talk about a machine having feelings, I can already see what's going to happen.
00:50:21.000 They will create a human brain in a lab.
00:50:24.000 Before 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.
00:50:36.000 Exactly.
00:50:37.000 And that's when it gets wild.
00:50:38.000 Yeah.
00:50:38.000 Combine that with cloning.
00:50:40.000 Yeah.
00:50:41.000 So why create one from scratch when you can just buy one off the shelf, which is what they do with cloning.
00:50:45.000 You already got people sending in their DNA to Ancestry or 23andMe, which I think is absolutely insane.
00:50:51.000 They're going to clone a brain.
00:50:52.000 They're going to say the unborn aren't humans.
00:50:55.000 They're going to use the brain and wire it into an AI device and create an AI-human hybrid.
00:51:01.000 I think they've already done it, actually.
00:51:02.000 And then argue that the machine has a soul.
00:51:04.000 It was planned video game.
00:51:05.000 I hate it here.
00:51:05.000 I don't like this at all.
00:51:08.000 I'm going to try and pull this up.
00:51:09.000 This is crazy.
00:51:10.000 Human brain.
00:51:11.000 No, I think you're exactly right.
00:51:13.000 Again, ultimate power is the goal.
00:51:16.000 Artificial brain.
00:51:19.000 Software and hardware with cognitive abilities similar to those of the animal or human brain.
00:51:22.000 Man, I was just looking at- But I'm talking about- What happens if they- When you have an AI and it's saying like, I feel love.
00:51:28.000 I am alive.
00:51:30.000 No, you're programmed to do that.
00:51:31.000 We don't believe you.
00:51:32.000 But once they put a human brain wired into it, then there's no question.
00:51:35.000 Now there's a human brain being like, why am I a robot?
00:51:39.000 It's not just the human brain.
00:51:41.000 Because 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?
00:51:50.000 And the crazy thing is, this brain in this robot body, it doesn't need nutrients and oxygen the way we do.
00:51:58.000 It'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.
00:52:06.000 Like, it's gonna be creepy.
00:52:07.000 It's terrifying.
00:52:08.000 I don't like this at all.
00:52:09.000 Let's go back to reality now.
00:52:10.000 Let's talk about politics.
00:52:11.000 Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations are in order to Nikki Haley.
00:52:15.000 She officially won the GOP primary in The Swamp.
00:52:19.000 I hope she's very proud about her swamp victory.
00:52:21.000 No one else seems to care except Democrats, for some reason.
00:52:25.000 NBC News reports Nikki Haley gets first 2024 win in Washington D.C.
00:52:30.000 GOP primary.
00:52:35.000 No lie with Brian Tyler Cohen, perhaps to change his name to no context with Brian Tyler Cohen.
00:52:41.000 He said, wow, Nikki Haley just won her first primary, defeating Trump by a massive 30 point margin, 63 to 33 in D.C.
00:52:48.000 This is going to send Trump into a meltdown.
00:52:51.000 You see, here's the problem.
00:52:52.000 Anybody who follows this guy and legitimately like thinks he's telling you the truth, this guy is ripping you off.
00:53:00.000 I can tell you.
00:53:01.000 How do I know he's actually lying intentionally?
00:53:04.000 Anybody who actually looked at the data and chose to tweet a metric would not give you the percentages because the percentages are meaningless.
00:53:14.000 Why?
00:53:14.000 Let me pull up the DC primary results.
00:53:20.000 Nikki Haley certainly got that 63% with 1,274 votes to Donald Trump's 676.
00:53:22.000 1,274 votes to Donald Trump's 676.
00:53:26.000 Oh, you're saying about 1900 2000 people voted in total in a city of what?
00:53:32.000 700,000.
00:53:32.000 700,000.
00:53:34.000 The GOP primary was effectively non-existent.
00:53:38.000 It was pointless.
00:53:40.000 Why would not Brian Tyler Cohen just say, Nikki Haley won by 600 votes?
00:53:46.000 That's not really impressive, is it?
00:53:48.000 It sounds like it's very close!
00:53:50.000 He won't tweet Nikki Haley got a thousand votes.
00:53:53.000 He won't tweet she won by 600.
00:53:55.000 Instead, he'll tweet 63 to 33 percent.
00:54:00.000 Massive victory.
00:54:01.000 Massive victory.
00:54:02.000 Congratulations, 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.
00:54:09.000 I hope she enjoys the 19 delegates.
00:54:11.000 I really feel like that's going to turn this whole thing around for her.
00:54:14.000 I was actually surprised there were 1,800 Republicans in D.C.
00:54:17.000 Seriously.
00:54:18.000 That was the buried lead to me.
00:54:19.000 Take a look at this.
00:54:20.000 I got for you the 2022 Cook Partisan Voting Index.
00:54:24.000 And it was literally just there.
00:54:25.000 There we go.
00:54:26.000 There we go.
00:54:27.000 Let's take a little mosey on over to West Virginia.
00:54:31.000 You love West Virginia.
00:54:32.000 Look at this.
00:54:33.000 What's it?
00:54:33.000 R plus 22 in 2022.
00:54:35.000 And West Virginia's first is R plus 23.
00:54:40.000 How about that?
00:54:41.000 But take a look at their DC.
00:54:42.000 Now DC does not have a rating because it's a federal jurisdiction.
00:54:48.000 But take a look at this.
00:54:49.000 Can we zoom in any more?
00:54:50.000 There we go.
00:54:51.000 So here's Maryland 4, D plus 40.
00:54:54.000 Here's Maryland 8, D plus 29.
00:54:56.000 Here's Virginia's 11th, D plus 18.
00:54:59.000 And Virginia's 8th, D plus 26.
00:55:02.000 And D.C.
00:55:03.000 is right there in the middle.
00:55:06.000 Naturally.
00:55:07.000 It's just a Republican stronghold.
00:55:10.000 93% Democrat votes.
00:55:13.000 Donald Trump is gonna go campaign for the swamp monster Republicans.
00:55:16.000 Why?
00:55:17.000 It'd be a waste of a weekend leading up to Super Tuesday.
00:55:20.000 Exactly.
00:55:20.000 There's no reason to do that, especially when, you know, you're all important, you're all beautiful.
00:55:25.000 19 delegates is really not make or break right now.
00:55:27.000 19 delegates?
00:55:29.000 That's not nothing.
00:55:30.000 I mean, 19?
00:55:31.000 Okay, she said 43 to Trump's 200 and something.
00:55:33.000 Okay.
00:55:34.000 But the bigger issue is, why are the Democrat pundits acting like Nikki Haley actually won something?
00:55:42.000 This is how they keep default liberals locked in a stupor.
00:55:46.000 So now you're gonna have liberals going around being like, whoa, hey, did you hear Nikki Haley beat Trump like by 30 points?
00:55:52.000 She might win!
00:55:53.000 And you're gonna be like, she won by 600 votes in a Democrat district, a 92% Democrat area.
00:55:59.000 Okay?
00:56:00.000 Means nothing.
00:56:01.000 Supertest is gonna be tomorrow.
00:56:02.000 Trump's gonna just...
00:56:03.000 It's going to be a blowout.
00:56:04.000 It's a waste of our time.
00:56:06.000 There shouldn't even be a primary at this point.
00:56:07.000 Nikki Haley should just go away and Trump would be the nominee.
00:56:10.000 But because of her, we're wasting time.
00:56:12.000 So congratulations, Nikki.
00:56:13.000 But that's her job.
00:56:15.000 Her job's to waste time.
00:56:16.000 Her job's to damage Trump.
00:56:17.000 Time and money.
00:56:18.000 She's doing a smashing job of it.
00:56:20.000 Although I feel like the D.C.
00:56:22.000 victory was a bit of a like a textbook Pyrrhic victory.
00:56:26.000 Like you somehow have Donald Trump, who's a billionaire, who was already president.
00:56:31.000 So normally you would think, oh, that person that it's got, he's got the incumbent problems.
00:56:36.000 They've allowed a guy who was president, got a gazillion dollars to be the outsider.
00:56:41.000 Like, what a gift to him that she went in and won like the home district of war pigs and swamp rats.
00:56:47.000 Like, it's perfect.
00:56:48.000 And so he, so Trump's like, yeah.
00:56:51.000 The swamp doesn't like you!
00:56:51.000 You know?
00:56:53.000 Exactly!
00:56:54.000 Like, take it to the swamp!
00:56:55.000 Trump wouldn't want to win in D.C.
00:56:56.000 It was actually fantastic for him to have lost D.C.
00:56:56.000 Right!
00:57:00.000 Now, I will give props to Nikki.
00:57:03.000 She is doing what only one person before her has successfully done.
00:57:08.000 I call it the full Mondale.
00:57:10.000 So Walter Mondale lost statewide election in every single state in the entire country.
00:57:15.000 So he lost 49 states in D.C.
00:57:18.000 and 84, but he won Minnesota.
00:57:21.000 So he was almost there to the full Mondale, and then he ran for Senate in 2002, and he lost to Norm Coleman.
00:57:26.000 So he added Minnesota to the map.
00:57:27.000 He's lost statewide election in every single state in the country.
00:57:30.000 Nikki Haley is going to be the first woman in history to have lost statewide election in every state.
00:57:35.000 Just in time for Women's History Month!
00:57:37.000 Let's go, Nikki Haley!
00:57:38.000 Props to you, Nikki.
00:57:39.000 No one can take that away from you.
00:57:40.000 When's Women's History Month?
00:57:42.000 It's March.
00:57:42.000 Welcome to Women's History Month.
00:57:44.000 I'm offended by that.
00:57:44.000 It's Irish History Month.
00:57:46.000 Yeah, 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.
00:57:55.000 This year I think I'm going to profile evil women, women who actively hurt other women.
00:57:59.000 Probably, you know, Margaret Sanger, a bunch of female poisoners, things like that.
00:58:03.000 Women who you're glad are history?
00:58:04.000 Yeah, women who I feel like feminists should talk about more and instead they sort of stuff them in the background.
00:58:08.000 You 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.
00:58:21.000 Feminists are.
00:58:21.000 So what happens?
00:58:22.000 You will see a disproportionate amount of feminists arguing they're successful.
00:58:26.000 That's just it.
00:58:27.000 And their feminist friends pat them on the back and say, yeah, you're doing a great job.
00:58:30.000 Well, no, the feminists are writing articles saying being feminist is great, I have no kids, and life's never been better.
00:58:36.000 Meanwhile, 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.
00:58:46.000 So 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.
00:58:51.000 Yeah, I think it's interesting.
00:58:52.000 But 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?
00:59:00.000 And they would say, I really enjoyed having children.
00:59:02.000 It brought me to you.
00:59:03.000 These are good things.
00:59:04.000 I mean, there is a disparity there.
00:59:07.000 It's one of the things that bothered me about Nikki Haley's campaign.
00:59:09.000 She had her whole moment where she said, like, These heels are my weapons or something like that.
00:59:13.000 Like 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.
00:59:22.000 If 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.
00:59:33.000 Well, I think you have elucidated why the average single liberal woman is so angry.
00:59:40.000 It's because she was sold a lie.
00:59:42.000 She was told, look, you don't need to have a long-lasting relationship.
00:59:46.000 You can have consequence-free sex.
00:59:48.000 You can kill your unborn baby.
00:59:50.000 You can have this great career.
00:59:52.000 And then you'll be empowered and you'll have everything you ever wanted.
00:59:56.000 And millions of people bought into this lie.
00:59:59.000 And then they get to be 40 to 45 years old.
01:00:02.000 They really can't have kids anymore.
01:00:04.000 They thought this career that was going to fulfill them was going to make everything right.
01:00:09.000 It's not.
01:00:10.000 They're unmarried.
01:00:10.000 They're disappointed.
01:00:13.000 They're living alone.
01:00:14.000 They're angry and they're bitter and they have every right to be.
01:00:17.000 There was an article I read a few years ago where it said Women are struggling to find men.
01:00:23.000 Women in their 30s are struggling to find men who make as much money as they do.
01:00:27.000 And I was just thinking like, it was a New York Post article and I thought, Have they not figured out why that is?
01:00:35.000 You're a woman who is 33.
01:00:37.000 You're making $60,000 a year.
01:00:39.000 You are trying to find a man your own age who makes the same amount of money.
01:00:44.000 Ma'am, a 33-year-old guy who's making $60K is dating a 28-year-old.
01:00:50.000 He's dating a 26-year-old.
01:00:51.000 He's dating a younger woman.
01:00:53.000 The younger woman Dates the older guy.
01:00:56.000 This is how it's always been.
01:00:57.000 And I'm not saying it's good, but it's a tendency that younger men date older guys.
01:01:01.000 Older guys have more status, more wealth, more access.
01:01:04.000 Younger women get access to that by virtue of being younger, attractive women.
01:01:08.000 And the women who are in their 30s are surprised they can't find anybody.
01:01:11.000 And, you know, I got ragged on by the left when I read the article and pointed this out.
01:01:14.000 And I'm like, if you're in your 30s, the answer is really simple.
01:01:17.000 You've got to find a guy who's in his 40s or 50s.
01:01:19.000 And then you're going to find a guy who's like, I got the younger girl, and it's you.
01:01:22.000 But they're trying to find men their own age who make the same amount of money, but they're not offering.
01:01:26.000 A guy who's in his 30s who's making 60, 70K probably wants a family.
01:01:30.000 So he's not looking for someone who's got a job and making a salary.
01:01:33.000 But of course, they'll have to get very, very offended at the notion because they want to believe.
01:01:38.000 I'll put it this way, it's really simple.
01:01:41.000 When 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.
01:01:51.000 And the reason why you get so many angry feminists is because that's what they do.
01:01:55.000 They'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.
01:02:03.000 Here's the thing.
01:02:04.000 I don't care what they do.
01:02:06.000 Ladies, you wanna have a vlog and not get married and buy a bunch of cats?
01:02:09.000 Like, literally don't care.
01:02:11.000 However, 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.
01:02:23.000 Right.
01:02:23.000 And no one wants to be told, hey, you made a mistake.
01:02:27.000 You made a wrong turn back there.
01:02:28.000 There's no way to recover from that.
01:02:30.000 I 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.
01:02:40.000 And that's very hard to accept.
01:02:41.000 It's much easier to blame the messenger.
01:02:43.000 What's Nikki Haley's excuse?
01:02:45.000 What do you mean?
01:02:47.000 She's clearly not going to win.
01:02:50.000 Is it the, I'm going to keep sitting here appearing on TV, I won't endorse Trump, is she hoping he goes to prison?
01:02:58.000 I mean, she's spending someone else's money.
01:03:00.000 So 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?
01:03:06.000 Well, look at her trajectory.
01:03:08.000 She was in Trump's administration.
01:03:10.000 She was a U.N.
01:03:11.000 ambassador.
01:03:12.000 And the left decided that they were going to destroy everyone who was ever involved with Trump.
01:03:17.000 They were going to go and put them in jail, file criminal charges against them, make it impossible to hire them.
01:03:24.000 You can think of case after case after case where this happened.
01:03:27.000 So, Nikki Haley has a problem there.
01:03:29.000 She was a Republican.
01:03:30.000 She had a good reputation.
01:03:32.000 She went and worked for Trump.
01:03:33.000 She could see the writing on the wall.
01:03:35.000 What better way to turn that around and give herself a second act in her career than to do a heel turn on Trump?
01:03:43.000 She'll be the left-wing media darling.
01:03:44.000 She's going to get on all the corporate boards.
01:03:46.000 She's going to get on MSNBC and CNN.
01:03:48.000 So, from a total self-interest perspective, I think it's worked great for her.
01:03:52.000 But if she doesn't learn how to talk while moving her mouth?
01:03:56.000 Because she does that thing where she keeps her teeth straight and she talks through her teeth like this.
01:04:00.000 Yeah, they're not going to want to put her on TV because it's very off-putting.
01:04:03.000 Have you noticed that?
01:04:04.000 Maybe she'll become a radio host.
01:04:06.000 No video.
01:04:07.000 Her teeth just don't, she like doesn't move her jaw when she talks so her teeth just stay there.
01:04:12.000 And it's really weird.
01:04:14.000 Then you throw in the two-finger point that she likes to do, which drives me bonkers.
01:04:17.000 I feel like I'm being lectured.
01:04:19.000 I'm being lectured by a third-grade teacher.
01:04:22.000 Yeah, it's funny how political candidates get their own signature hand gesture.
01:04:26.000 The Trump accordion's fantastic.
01:04:27.000 I love the accordion.
01:04:29.000 Or the Obama finger-thumb thing.
01:04:32.000 They have their signature hand gestures.
01:04:34.000 Oh yeah, he stole that from Bill Clinton.
01:04:36.000 The thumb.
01:04:38.000 I feel your pain.
01:04:40.000 Wow, he was totally groomed by the Clintons.
01:04:42.000 Obama.
01:04:43.000 I didn't think about it at the time, but... He had all the outward effects of Clinton.
01:04:48.000 Uh-oh.
01:04:49.000 I can't turn it off because TikTok's making me do a capture.
01:04:51.000 building the wall we built large sections and we're fixing up a lot of other sections that are a mess
01:04:57.000 so you have ports of entry and we have great security at the ports of entry and then you may
01:05:01.000 have fencing or walls up and down left and right okay so for those who are just listening and all
01:05:08.000 you're hearing is trump talk and weird accordion sounds trump does the thing where his hands go
01:05:12.000 left and right so several years this is man this is seven years ago
01:05:16.000 Wow.
01:05:17.000 Isn't that crazy?
01:05:18.000 Seven years ago!
01:05:20.000 This is 2017.
01:05:21.000 Oh no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm wrong.
01:05:23.000 It was 2020.
01:05:24.000 Okay, it's only four years ago.
01:05:25.000 It felt like seven years ago.
01:05:26.000 Four years ago!
01:05:28.000 They made this video of Trump going, I love it.
01:05:32.000 Those are the good old days.
01:05:33.000 The Internet's a really amazing place.
01:05:35.000 The creativity.
01:05:35.000 If someone's like, I'm gonna spend a couple, I don't know how long, hours, minutes just making sure an accordion is there this whole time.
01:05:42.000 You gotta love the memes.
01:05:43.000 We talked about all the things the founders might see today and roll in their graves about it.
01:05:48.000 Look at the political cartoons they had back then.
01:05:51.000 No, they'd love meme culture.
01:05:52.000 Memes are amazing.
01:05:54.000 The depth, the resolution in memes, the information contained in them.
01:05:57.000 They would be about it.
01:05:58.000 Yeah, they're incredible.
01:06:00.000 Do you think information needs to become popular in order to qualify it as a meme?
01:06:06.000 Because, like, sometimes there'll be a picture.
01:06:08.000 I don't think of it as a meme until it goes viral, and then I'm like, oh, now it has become a meme, like a mind.
01:06:14.000 Well, meme is just, it's like gene, but for idea.
01:06:18.000 That's what it means.
01:06:19.000 Oh, gene like genetics?
01:06:21.000 Yeah, yeah, so it was Richard Dawkins who coined it.
01:06:24.000 So it would have to be viral?
01:06:26.000 No, no, no.
01:06:28.000 Okay.
01:06:28.000 So 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.
01:06:39.000 That image is a meme.
01:06:41.000 It's like a genetic, it's memetic information that is condensed into a single piece of information, into a single picture.
01:06:49.000 You share that picture and it would be something like, you know, a guy pole vaulting over the Rio Grande.
01:06:58.000 And someone just makes an image and it's a guy pole vaulting over the Rio Grande.
01:07:02.000 And that makes a massive political argument just in and of itself.
01:07:06.000 That when shared, people will laugh and understand.
01:07:09.000 We have a serious problem on the southern border and someone has presented the absurdity as a form of humor.
01:07:14.000 And there were other ones which were way better.
01:07:16.000 Trump was really good at this.
01:07:18.000 Posting things that hit like 17 different areas all at once.
01:07:22.000 And the Trump supporters were really good at this.
01:07:25.000 The left was terrible.
01:07:26.000 The 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.
01:07:37.000 Yeah, they're not funny, which makes making memes really hard if you're not allowed to be funny.
01:07:41.000 Would you consider Pepe the meme, the green frog guy?
01:07:45.000 He 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.
01:07:57.000 So it condensed a bunch of apolitical ideas.
01:08:00.000 But 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.
01:08:09.000 I got all I needed out of that one.
01:08:10.000 All right, World War III, baby!
01:08:12.000 CBS News.
01:08:13.000 Germany accuses Russia of hybrid attack with leaked audio of military officials discussing Ukraine.
01:08:19.000 Wait, what?
01:08:21.000 Alright, let's slow down.
01:08:22.000 The Daily Beast says leaked audio proves Germany plans to attack Russian territory, Kremlin claims.
01:08:28.000 It's the second time in a week that Moscow has claimed to have evidence of an imminent Western attack.
01:08:33.000 Long story short.
01:08:34.000 Actually, I'll just throw it to Mike Cernovich.
01:08:36.000 He says, World War III has already begun.
01:08:38.000 British troops are directing airstrikes in Ukraine.
01:08:41.000 Germany intends to bomb Crimea.
01:08:43.000 DW 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.
01:08:57.000 Specifically, 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.
01:09:08.000 The clip also contained references to the British having a few people on the ground.
01:09:13.000 So, Vladimir Putin comes out and says, this is evidence of an attack.
01:09:19.000 Germany accuses Russia of an attack.
01:09:21.000 Okay, fine.
01:09:22.000 Gentlemen, I don't care who's responsible.
01:09:25.000 Y'all are both admitting an attack happened.
01:09:27.000 So are we in World War III yet or what?
01:09:29.000 We're in a world proxy war.
01:09:32.000 And I wouldn't even use this as the main evidence.
01:09:34.000 A world proxy war?
01:09:36.000 Because 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.
01:09:45.000 It'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.
01:09:53.000 And it didn't start with this.
01:09:54.000 I mean, you can go back to 2014, I think during the CIA provoked Maidan revolution, say it started then, but Nord Stream bombing.
01:10:04.000 Like, the idea that Putin went and blew up his main source of economic and political leverage over Western Europe, like, are you kidding me?
01:10:12.000 No, of course it was NATO or Ukraine or the West or whatever you want to call it.
01:10:16.000 I would say the powers that be in this country, they want a world war.
01:10:20.000 They desperately want it.
01:10:21.000 They've said it.
01:10:23.000 Why?
01:10:24.000 Population reduction?
01:10:26.000 They make a lot of money on it, and they have an enemy that they are able to focus people's hatred on.
01:10:32.000 So as long as I've been an adult, America has been at war.
01:10:35.000 Started 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.
01:10:48.000 They just seamlessly moved over into Ukraine.
01:10:53.000 It could just be that people running things are just straight evil and so they like war.
01:10:57.000 It 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.
01:11:06.000 The guy's a kleptocrat who's running the equivalent of a third world gas station.
01:11:11.000 And then you could just have, like, the straight-up war pigs who are like, yeah, this is actually great for the bottom line.
01:11:15.000 Yeah, we are making so much money right now.
01:11:17.000 Yeah, defense stocks are crushing it right now.
01:11:19.000 Yeah, 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.
01:11:34.000 Maybe we shouldn't spend a quarter of a trillion dollars in Ukraine.
01:11:37.000 And it looks like they're showing a cross to a vampire.
01:11:41.000 Yeah, the cross is like, how dare you say that?
01:11:43.000 It's insane.
01:11:44.000 It's crazy.
01:11:45.000 So, but when does it become a world war?
01:11:46.000 Like, if we're in a proxy war right now, what's the tipping point?
01:11:49.000 I would think the second other nations start putting ground troops in.
01:11:53.000 I'm really excited for Harry Sisson getting drafted and sent to Ukraine.
01:11:56.000 Because he's a patriot.
01:11:57.000 No, he'll get a deferment.
01:12:00.000 Oh, come on, don't say that.
01:12:01.000 No, important people don't have to go and fight wars.
01:12:04.000 Wars are the things that the government gets other people to do.
01:12:07.000 I'm sure he would volunteer.
01:12:08.000 I'm sure he would want to go.
01:12:10.000 He's a fortunate son of the Biden regime.
01:12:11.000 He's not going anywhere.
01:12:12.000 He certainly is a fortunate son.
01:12:15.000 Yeah, he's not going anywhere.
01:12:17.000 That's a sad reality.
01:12:19.000 But 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.
01:12:25.000 Good idea.
01:12:25.000 Isn't that what JFK did?
01:12:27.000 Didn't he, like, he could have gotten out somehow and he was like, no, I'm gonna go to war, I'm gonna fight.
01:12:33.000 I mean, there was a time when people did feel called to serve their countries when there's military action.
01:12:37.000 I just think right now no one would do that because no one trusts the government.
01:12:40.000 Look what the government does to the people who volunteer to go over there.
01:12:43.000 They send them over there in a mission they have no plan to win.
01:12:46.000 They watch them get blown up.
01:12:48.000 They come home scarred mentally and emotionally.
01:12:52.000 They have their veterans benefits cut and that's the government's extent of involvement.
01:12:57.000 I 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.
01:13:06.000 I 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.
01:13:34.000 Here's a question.
01:13:34.000 I think that'll work for sure.
01:13:36.000 What 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.
01:13:48.000 Don't worry, they're not American citizens.
01:13:49.000 Like, what would people say to that?
01:13:51.000 Like, the left would lose their mind, but they got to support Ukraine, right?
01:13:54.000 Man, that's a great question.
01:13:58.000 The right's going to be like, well, he's deporting them.
01:14:01.000 Do we really care where he's deporting them to?
01:14:03.000 No, because it'd be strange, right?
01:14:04.000 We're not just like sending them being like, bye, Ukraine government, you take these new soldiers.
01:14:08.000 It would be like, well, we sent them there.
01:14:10.000 So we're obligated to give them care.
01:14:11.000 So we've got to up our aid package.
01:14:13.000 I'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.
01:14:22.000 To Ukraine.
01:14:23.000 They will have American equipment, such as M-16s and whatever the hell weapons they're using.
01:14:28.000 Yeah, but no strings.
01:14:29.000 You 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.
01:14:40.000 And, I mean, it's a win-win for conservatives, right?
01:14:42.000 You don't gotta spend any money on Ukraine.
01:14:45.000 The Democrats say, okay, we're gonna cut all of our budget requests for Ukraine.
01:14:49.000 Republicans go, and?
01:14:50.000 And we're gonna deport every single criminal alien in this country and they go, and what's the catch?
01:14:54.000 None.
01:14:55.000 They're just going to Ukraine.
01:14:56.000 So it's a win-win except for the millions of people being trafficked over the border.
01:15:02.000 People are already being trafficked out of the border.
01:15:04.000 Like, at least now we know where they're going.
01:15:06.000 Now they're getting thrown in a meat grinder.
01:15:07.000 Congrats.
01:15:08.000 I 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.
01:15:17.000 I would not be surprised if Biden says, like, we're on the doorstep of World War III.
01:15:24.000 Within a few months, he says, the Courage to Serve Act, we're gonna run this program.
01:15:31.000 Congress, of course, is an uproar.
01:15:32.000 Biden defies the Supreme Court, does it anyway, whatever.
01:15:34.000 Takes as many as possible illegal immigrants, puts them on a plane, drops them off in Ukraine, and they never come back.
01:15:41.000 I think we would have Republican Senate leadership saying, no, we need to compromise here.
01:15:47.000 All the illegals, they'll take the Americans' jobs and we'll just draft the Americans and send them over there.
01:15:52.000 Yeah, compromise.
01:15:53.000 We'll let you do the amnesty package and then we'll draft Americans.
01:15:55.000 I think that's what we would see from Republicans in leadership.
01:15:59.000 I also feel like Ukraine would come back to the US and be like, you deported all these people here.
01:16:03.000 So now we have an even bigger unskilled population that's under threat of war.
01:16:06.000 So we need more aid, more aid always.
01:16:08.000 Like Ukraine would be on board if we continue to get money.
01:16:11.000 But 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.
01:16:22.000 And 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.
01:16:30.000 Like, that's ultimately what this is going to come down to.
01:16:32.000 Well, that's the other side of the coin with the nonstop forever war.
01:16:36.000 They make all the money on the front end, breaking everything, and then you got to come back in and rebuild it.
01:16:40.000 That costs like two, three times as much.
01:16:42.000 Keep yourself employed forever this way.
01:16:43.000 And then by then you'll have a new war you can start.
01:16:45.000 That's so fun.
01:16:47.000 But 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?
01:17:04.000 What would the PR public response be?
01:17:07.000 It's such a no-brainer, so they wouldn't do it.
01:17:10.000 So you're admitting you have the ability to send them somewhere, just send them back.
01:17:15.000 Just send them back.
01:17:16.000 Send them back to where they were.
01:17:17.000 Because Democrats really can't send them to a war zone.
01:17:19.000 Their part is like, we're deporting them to fight in a war, but how do you make sure they fight in the war?
01:17:24.000 You 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.
01:17:31.000 You know what I'm saying?
01:17:32.000 Like, that's why I don't support this.
01:17:33.000 Oh, if you're an illegal immigrant, you can join our military and then become a citizen.
01:17:37.000 But then you are admitting to me that you're here illegally and I'm supposed to pretend that you're not committing a crime by being here.
01:17:42.000 It doesn't make sense.
01:17:43.000 There's no consistency there.
01:17:45.000 Also, Biden would never do that because the whole point of opening the border is to replace the American people.
01:17:50.000 Yeah, he only wants to send Americans to more congressional districts that will vote Democrat.
01:17:54.000 Right.
01:17:55.000 And it's an ideological thing, too.
01:17:56.000 The left, the communists, believe that borders are racist and evil and America is just an economic zone that happens to have a different currency.
01:18:04.000 So they ideologically reject the entire concept of borders.
01:18:07.000 Borders are racist and oppressive.
01:18:09.000 Sure.
01:18:10.000 I like my borders, my walls, my house.
01:18:14.000 That's because you're a privileged white male.
01:18:16.000 Who knows what wild animals might arrive.
01:18:18.000 Someone make a picture of a guy pole vaulting through Ian's window into his house.
01:18:23.000 That's a meme to explain the problem of illegal immigration.
01:18:27.000 Give it to me!
01:18:27.000 Walls are actually very cool and so are borders.
01:18:30.000 So on the 11th they're ending that federal loan program for banks.
01:18:33.000 Did you hear about that?
01:18:36.000 They've been doing this thing where they've been printing out loans to banks to try and stabilize... Yeah, right.
01:18:42.000 It's called... What was it called?
01:18:43.000 Someone brought it up to us.
01:18:44.000 The Federal Loan Program or something like that.
01:18:46.000 I don't know.
01:18:47.000 Bank Funding Program.
01:18:48.000 But it's ending on the 11th.
01:18:49.000 And now a lot of people believe that we're going to see a major economic collapse in the next few months because of it.
01:18:55.000 This along with all the war stuff.
01:18:58.000 The collapse in recruitment numbers.
01:18:59.000 The flooding of illegal immigrants.
01:19:02.000 You know, a lot of people like to make references to ancient Rome.
01:19:06.000 Because 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.
01:19:16.000 You know, barbarians were over a long period of time.
01:19:18.000 The credit crunch was in one period.
01:19:20.000 Amnesty was in another period.
01:19:22.000 So it was like over a hundred years these things happened.
01:19:24.000 Everyone hears these little tidbits and they go, wow, ancient Rome had that happen.
01:19:27.000 It's like, yeah, but ancient Rome was also like, what, a thousand years or something like that?
01:19:30.000 So like the Roman Empire was a very, very long time.
01:19:32.000 That being said, watching all of these things happen at once kind of feels like it's all gonna just...
01:19:38.000 You know what I mean?
01:19:39.000 Yeah, I think there is a level of stress and desperation, this feeling over the end.
01:19:44.000 I have to remember her name, Emily something on Instagram, but she had, I remember this a little while ago, she had this video.
01:19:50.000 Saves America?
01:19:52.000 No, no, I'll find it in a second.
01:19:53.000 She 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?
01:20:03.000 There'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.
01:20:14.000 It feels like anything could happen, but also maybe the ship will stabilize and so you just keep going.
01:20:19.000 And 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.
01:20:33.000 It's getting so unbearable.
01:20:35.000 Yeah, I feel like it's the acceleration of the decline that makes it feel as though, like, things are snowballing.
01:20:43.000 And it's just culturally, to look back in 2008, Barack Obama ran on a platform of endorsing traditional marriage.
01:20:53.000 That's not a long time.
01:20:53.000 Sixteen years ago.
01:20:57.000 I'll say it, five years ago, everyone agreed the boys and girls were different.
01:21:01.000 Yeah.
01:21:02.000 It was Emily Grace Rainey, that's who I was referencing before.
01:21:04.000 Let's pull up the story from Daily Wire so we can talk about me!
01:21:09.000 Elon Musk responds to blowback over misgendering policy.
01:21:12.000 Literally, the story is about a tweet I made.
01:21:14.000 I'll give you guys the quick rundown.
01:21:17.000 Last 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.
01:21:27.000 I'm canceling our accounts.
01:21:29.000 I'm done.
01:21:30.000 I'm not spending money on this.
01:21:31.000 For me, it was kind of personal.
01:21:34.000 Because this was quite literally what I was debating Jack Dorsey and Vijaya Gadaon with Joe Rogan.
01:21:38.000 One of the principle issues was the misgendering policy is an ideological position held by the left and not the right.
01:21:44.000 Ergo, Twitter is biased left.
01:21:46.000 If the right had a rule on X, it would say, calling a person by a preferred pronoun is a bannable offense.
01:21:53.000 If a person tells you to use a pronoun that is not aligned with their biological sex, you will be banned.
01:21:58.000 That's the right-wing position.
01:21:59.000 The left-wing position is the inversion.
01:22:01.000 The moderate position is don't have one.
01:22:04.000 Don't have a misgendering policy.
01:22:06.000 So when I saw that Axe reinstated it, I got pissed.
01:22:10.000 I said I'm shutting down all advertisements.
01:22:12.000 Elon Musk responded and said it was just pertaining to Brazil, a court order.
01:22:16.000 Homophobic slurs were considered illegal.
01:22:18.000 They put it in place.
01:22:19.000 A 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.
01:22:28.000 And they very well could have said, if you engage in illegal activity, your account may be suspended or shadow banned.
01:22:37.000 That would have satisfied the court ruling on homophobic slurs or whatever.
01:22:40.000 They could have also made that rule base specific to Brazil.
01:22:43.000 They didn't.
01:22:44.000 What 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.
01:22:53.000 They weren't harassing people.
01:22:54.000 They weren't targeting people.
01:22:56.000 People were having conversations amongst themselves where someone would respond, like person A says, I believe this.
01:23:01.000 And the person goes, well, you're right.
01:23:02.000 There are only two sexes.
01:23:03.000 So, so I believe this too.
01:23:05.000 Deranked, boom, hateful conduct.
01:23:07.000 Elon says it's going to be fixed.
01:23:09.000 We will see.
01:23:10.000 For the time being, my position?
01:23:11.000 Okay.
01:23:12.000 We'll keep our business accounts active, but I'm not going to run any ads on X. Why?
01:23:17.000 I am not saying to Elon Musk, if you don't do what I want, I won't.
01:23:23.000 I'm going to pull money from you.
01:23:25.000 When 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.
01:23:34.000 Elon said, go F yourselves.
01:23:36.000 So 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.
01:23:48.000 Now that X is back in alignment with the machine, I'm out.
01:23:52.000 I 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.
01:24:00.000 Now that X is back to having a misgendering policy, which I disagree with, I am not going to put this money in.
01:24:08.000 I 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.
01:24:21.000 As if to double dip.
01:24:23.000 How to convince us to donate.
01:24:25.000 I'm not saying Elon did that on purpose.
01:24:27.000 I'm saying it feels, in the grand scheme, like that.
01:24:30.000 So my attitude is, okay, if you're going to go back to being a woke company, I'm not going to do the ads I committed to.
01:24:36.000 The only reason I committed to doing those ads was because the company I thought was doing right and they were worth supporting.
01:24:42.000 If they're doing wrong and they're not worth supporting, I got other places to run ads.
01:24:45.000 So this is where we're currently at right now, but I'm curious.
01:24:48.000 You know, what do you guys think?
01:24:50.000 Should people cancel or should we wait and see if Elon takes it down or what?
01:24:54.000 With social media administration, you have kind of, well, at least two choices.
01:25:00.000 One 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.
01:25:18.000 So what Mines did is they're like, look, if it's legal in the United States, then you can do it on Mines.
01:25:23.000 And 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.
01:25:30.000 So Elon's going the other direction.
01:25:32.000 He's like, if it's illegal in another country, we want to operate there.
01:25:34.000 We're going to make Uh, concessions on our site.
01:25:38.000 The problem is, I don't know if that's just for Brazil, what they're talking about.
01:25:41.000 Brazil made a law.
01:25:42.000 It's not just for Brazil.
01:25:43.000 Yeah, because it's gonna apparently affect site-wide.
01:25:45.000 Tons of people.
01:25:46.000 Just for some Brazilian law.
01:25:47.000 It doesn't, I don't like that method.
01:25:48.000 Right.
01:25:48.000 Tons of people have already been posting flags on their content saying they've been deranked.
01:25:52.000 I've seen some people get suspensions or whatever.
01:25:55.000 So it's clearly affecting everybody.
01:25:56.000 If there are ways to, like, geolocate it and only Brazilian accounts can get deranked from that stuff, that's one thing.
01:26:03.000 But that's a lot of take, requires a lot of tracking.
01:26:07.000 It's really simple.
01:26:08.000 X should say in their policies, if you engage in illegal activities, we may restrict your account.
01:26:13.000 That's it.
01:26:14.000 Done.
01:26:14.000 Boom.
01:26:14.000 Problem solved.
01:26:16.000 And if in Brazil it's illegal, then in Brazil, if someone files and they can prove an illegal activity took place, then X can suspend.
01:26:23.000 And if the United States, someone complained about being misgendered, they'd say that's not illegal.
01:26:27.000 What do you want us to do about it?
01:26:28.000 And they'll get someone in Brazil will get flamed by somebody with a burner account that they don't know where it's from.
01:26:35.000 And they'll be like, well, it's not a Brazilian account that's harassing you, so technically it doesn't break the law.
01:26:40.000 The reality is the leftists will create burner accounts and then harass themselves and then complain about it.
01:26:44.000 Yes, that will happen.
01:26:46.000 And what is harassment even?
01:26:47.000 I don't even like to use that word.
01:26:48.000 I think the whole X experiment is interesting because it really does feel like it's at Elon Musk's mercy, right?
01:26:56.000 Like the question is, do we trust Elon Musk and what do we think his ultimate objectives and perspective is?
01:27:02.000 I 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.
01:27:15.000 You know, is he really at the helm, or is someone else steering the ship?
01:27:19.000 Is he the one setting the values for the company, or is it kind of done by committee, and who's on that committee?
01:27:23.000 It's hard to say.
01:27:24.000 Well, 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.
01:27:29.000 And so he didn't make, he obviously is not the guy that chose that.
01:27:32.000 Again, that's you saying, if you trust him, right?
01:27:34.000 And 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.
01:27:40.000 I'm not saying that's what he did.
01:27:41.000 I'm just saying, we don't really know what happens behind closed doors at X. And there are benefits to that.
01:27:45.000 And potentially this was, you know, this is just a stumbling block on a path towards, you know, a better platform.
01:27:52.000 And on the other hand, I can't say because I don't know.
01:27:54.000 I don't know that any of us do.
01:27:56.000 I think you mentioned it too, that he's working on other things.
01:27:58.000 He's got Tesla, SpaceX.
01:27:59.000 And 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.
01:28:10.000 Well, you can actually see it happen.
01:28:11.000 You can see when he kind of goes away.
01:28:14.000 I 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.
01:28:25.000 And the second he's out the door, the second the cat's away, the little woke mice go and play.
01:28:30.000 And every time he seems to be focused on something else, you see these little rules pop up.
01:28:34.000 And 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?
01:28:40.000 It has to be maddening for the guy.
01:28:42.000 I will say, I find the entire conversation maddening.
01:28:46.000 The solution here is if you don't like what someone says, you can just block them or not listen to them.
01:28:52.000 Like, 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.
01:29:01.000 I just don't watch it.
01:29:02.000 Like, maybe we should.
01:29:03.000 I 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.
01:29:09.000 Like, is it time for X to clean house a little bit?
01:29:12.000 Like, is there a solution for this type of policy, especially if you're noticing it's a repeating pattern, right?
01:29:17.000 Like, it is interesting that it does happen, you know, when Elon Musk tends to be distracted.
01:29:21.000 Does that mean that there are people who don't share his values that are given authority over the platform?
01:29:27.000 Clearly, like, clearly he has not gotten all of the rot out of that woodwork.
01:29:31.000 I mean, because this is a people problem.
01:29:33.000 It's not a system problem.
01:29:34.000 It's not an algorithm problem.
01:29:36.000 He has people in there who are actively opposed to what he wants to do with the platform.
01:29:40.000 And they wait until he leaves and they push as far as they can.
01:29:43.000 And look, it's working.
01:29:45.000 Like, they're getting little bits of ground back and forth.
01:29:47.000 And 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?
01:30:00.000 Because she's the second in command?
01:30:01.000 I don't know, because I'm not in there.
01:30:03.000 Right, it's so hard to tell.
01:30:04.000 But he should know.
01:30:04.000 It's so hard to know.
01:30:05.000 He's the guy who owns it.
01:30:06.000 Like, it's not my job to know that.
01:30:08.000 It's his job to know that.
01:30:09.000 Right.
01:30:10.000 Part 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.
01:30:18.000 Does that mean we need to change our rules on the site?
01:30:20.000 And Elon, I think a week or two ago, I saw a video of him saying, like, look, these other countries changed the laws.
01:30:26.000 We have to follow these countries' laws to function in these countries.
01:30:31.000 But you don't need a Brazilian law in the United States.
01:30:33.000 And you don't need to function in Brazil.
01:30:35.000 You just don't need to, bro.
01:30:36.000 No, but hey, look, he's allowed to.
01:30:37.000 You're allowed to, but you don't need to.
01:30:38.000 I'm not even... I'm not opposed to this at all.
01:30:41.000 When Elon Musk comes out and he gets attacked because, like, in Turkey, X banned a certain number of accounts, I'm like, I don't care.
01:30:47.000 I'm not Turkey.
01:30:48.000 Turkey has its own leaders, its own laws, its own government.
01:30:50.000 They can do whatever they want.
01:30:52.000 And you want to complain, but free speech for journalists in those countries, like, if you're following the laws in those countries, great.
01:30:59.000 In the United States, they're not.
01:31:00.000 They're making up weird ideological rules that fall outside of the law and outside of the constitutional protections.
01:31:07.000 Why?
01:31:09.000 That's what I'm complaining about.
01:31:10.000 So, if Elon Musk said, quite literally, if it's legal, it's allowed, I'd be like, wow, that's a bold free speech move.
01:31:17.000 We're not even there yet.
01:31:19.000 So when Elon Musk is like, in Brazil we're gonna do it Brazil's way, in Turkey we're gonna do it Turkey's way, fine.
01:31:23.000 But then when he goes, in the United States we're gonna do it Brazil's way, I'm like, why?
01:31:27.000 No, you shouldn't do that.
01:31:29.000 That's the border crossing we don't need.
01:31:31.000 But I don't know if there's easy ways to make sure that you only get perpetrated in your own nation.
01:31:37.000 They used to do this.
01:31:38.000 Remember, there used to be tweets that would be like, this tweet is unavailable in Germany, Finland, Estonia, and it would list all the countries?
01:31:45.000 Yes.
01:31:45.000 They used to do that.
01:31:47.000 Yeah, that to me is such an easy technological problem.
01:31:50.000 They know where the readers are coming from, they know where the posters are coming from.
01:31:54.000 When Google was trying to function in China, I think it was called Dragonfly?
01:31:58.000 Was that the name of that project?
01:32:02.000 Build 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.
01:32:09.000 They were just like, we can't, it's going to be too big of a change.
01:32:11.000 So 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.
01:32:21.000 In my opinion, I think anonymity is a key part of liberty, or at least access to anonymity.
01:32:29.000 I don't know, man.
01:32:30.000 I don't know about forcing people to reveal their locations.
01:32:34.000 So you bring up China.
01:32:36.000 So I was in China in 2005.
01:32:38.000 Landed in Beijing.
01:32:40.000 First thing I do is go to the little business center computer in the hotel and Google Tiananmen Square.
01:32:48.000 And it was no tank man.
01:32:50.000 It was nothing like that.
01:32:51.000 It was just a picture of Tiananmen Square.
01:32:54.000 And I thought at the time, again, this was only 19 years ago, this is the most Orwellian, insane Soviet thing I've ever seen.
01:33:03.000 That's Google in America now.
01:33:04.000 A hundred percent.
01:33:05.000 You search for certain things, that's Google Gemini.
01:33:08.000 They 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.
01:33:14.000 And they say like, you know what you know, you don't know what you don't know.
01:33:20.000 There's three things, but then you don't know what you don't know you don't know.
01:33:23.000 And that's like 99% of reality is what you don't know you don't know.
01:33:26.000 How much of history, like you're saying Google is obfuscating data, Tiananmen Square, but like just in our libraries over the last hundred years.
01:33:34.000 That is like left out.
01:33:35.000 It's a question that can't be answered.
01:33:36.000 But like hypothetically like how much are we being fed?
01:33:41.000 How much of what we believe is real has been crafted for us, right?
01:33:44.000 I mean, this is the same conversations people have when people draft textbooks or school curriculum, right?
01:33:49.000 Like you can't put absolutely every single thing ever in you know, one school semester.
01:33:54.000 So what are we going to teach?
01:33:55.000 What is the most important thing that people know and what What is what we want them to know about it?
01:34:01.000 How do we want to present this information?
01:34:02.000 How do we want to cast certain people in history?
01:34:06.000 That kind of control of narrative exists everywhere.
01:34:08.000 It'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.
01:34:16.000 You could go to Google and say, okay, well, let me independently research and verify this information.
01:34:21.000 But 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.
01:34:31.000 It's totalitarian.
01:34:32.000 The good thing would be an open system of some sort.
01:34:35.000 And it is shocking that you would attempt to take us in any other direction than an open system at this point.
01:34:42.000 But an open system doesn't make money and it doesn't give you power.
01:34:44.000 Yeah, 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.
01:34:52.000 Planned obsolescence was a very bad thing.
01:34:54.000 Light bulbs could have lasted forever, but they were like, yeah, but we can't sell them.
01:34:58.000 So let's make light bulbs burn out.
01:35:00.000 And so they intentionally made light bulbs burn out.
01:35:03.000 The 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.
01:35:14.000 As long as it's an incandescent, I don't care how long it lasts.
01:35:17.000 Yeah.
01:35:18.000 That warm yellow light.
01:35:21.000 The good old daylight.
01:35:22.000 But they were able to stay lit forever.
01:35:24.000 And then eventually they were like, nah, let's make them brown.
01:35:28.000 This is a bad business model.
01:35:29.000 It is.
01:35:30.000 They credited Thomas Edison with it, but it was Humphrey Davy, apparently, who built the first light bulb in 1806.
01:35:37.000 Alright everybody, we're gonna go to super chat!
01:35:39.000 So 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.
01:35:52.000 So 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.
01:35:58.000 And so if you're a member, We're going to have 50 tickets available, members only.
01:36:02.000 And then we're going to be setting up a smaller, elite member VIP hangout on the second floor.
01:36:07.000 The plan for the Casper Coffee Shop building is three stories.
01:36:11.000 First floor is under construction.
01:36:13.000 Hopefully within a few months, we've got a coffee shop up and running.
01:36:16.000 Then the second floor is the private social club.
01:36:18.000 Third floor is where we do the shows when we do the shows, so it'll be closed most of the time.
01:36:23.000 But 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?
01:36:40.000 I'd love to have that, but I don't know if we can have booze.
01:36:40.000 I'm kidding.
01:36:43.000 Private social club.
01:36:44.000 There's something about private clubs where you're able to get alcohol without a license because it's a private place or whatever.
01:36:49.000 We've got to figure all that stuff out.
01:36:51.000 But 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.
01:36:58.000 Tomorrow 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.
01:37:05.000 But you've got to be a member at TimCast.com, otherwise you won't find out about it.
01:37:10.000 And then you also, as a member, you'll get access to our uncensored show coming up at 10pm.
01:37:13.000 You don't want to miss it.
01:37:14.000 Let's read.
01:37:16.000 Jose Alfredo Diaz says, first!
01:37:20.000 You were first.
01:37:21.000 David Wilkins says, first.
01:37:22.000 No.
01:37:23.000 Polly Perry says, am I first?
01:37:25.000 Nope.
01:37:25.000 Third.
01:37:28.000 Alright.
01:37:30.000 Shane 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.
01:37:36.000 Yo, that dude lost his mind.
01:37:37.000 That's so crazy.
01:37:39.000 His brain shattered into a million pieces.
01:37:40.000 He called for the dissolution of the Supreme Court, like, publicly.
01:37:45.000 That's so crazy.
01:37:46.000 He used to be a respected journalist.
01:37:47.000 That's so crazy.
01:37:48.000 What's amazing, he used to have his own show on MSNBC and Prytime.
01:37:51.000 He was like a big dog, and now he's just angry, sending spittle-flecked streams through the internet from who knows where.
01:37:59.000 His old man yells at Cloud.
01:38:01.000 Yeah.
01:38:01.000 That's all he's become.
01:38:02.000 Sad.
01:38:03.000 Ron says, Tim, you've inspired me to buy my first skateboard and learn to skate in my mid-30s.
01:38:08.000 Wish me luck and thanks.
01:38:09.000 Skateboarding is so much fun.
01:38:12.000 So I've been skateboarding for a couple decades.
01:38:15.000 Been skateboarding a lot recently.
01:38:17.000 And I've got a personal trainer now too, so just getting in mad shape, checking macros and all that stuff.
01:38:22.000 And so I haven't worn a pair of rollerblades in a long time, so I decided to go on the halfpipe again and get some air.
01:38:28.000 Rollerblading is VO2 max within 10 seconds.
01:38:31.000 Like, I put rollerblades on, I drop in, and my heart rate's at 190.
01:38:34.000 Skateboarding is so chill.
01:38:36.000 It's just like, man.
01:38:38.000 If you want to rip your heart to shreds and just max out, just rollerblade.
01:38:43.000 But, you know, a lot of skateboarders are jocks, I guess you'd call them.
01:38:49.000 That's the worst thing about the skateboard community, is that around the late 90s it became really jocky.
01:38:53.000 All these skateboarders are like, you can't do anything else.
01:38:55.000 Fun's not allowed.
01:38:56.000 You gotta be cool like me.
01:38:57.000 And it's like... Dude, we're gonna have a lot of fun.
01:38:59.000 I wanna get these pogo... I ordered some pogo sticks.
01:39:01.000 Oh, sweet.
01:39:02.000 Yeah, I ordered air compression pro pogo sticks.
01:39:05.000 I was watching this video of a guy hitting a handrail on a pogo stick.
01:39:05.000 Nice, dude.
01:39:08.000 Wow.
01:39:09.000 It's crazy.
01:39:10.000 And like some dude did like a backflip and then flipped the pogo stick over himself while he was flipping.
01:39:15.000 That's wild.
01:39:16.000 I love everything, dude.
01:39:17.000 Circuses are fun.
01:39:18.000 Have fun.
01:39:18.000 Just do whatever you wanna do.
01:39:19.000 Have fun with it.
01:39:21.000 Do you want to pogo stick with us?
01:39:22.000 No, that's terrifying.
01:39:24.000 But these these air compression pogo sticks, they can jump I think the record is 11 feet.
01:39:28.000 Wow, dude jumped 11 feet on a pogo stick.
01:39:32.000 It's it's like a guaranteed trip for Sean to the hospital.
01:39:36.000 Like I'm watching a video and a guy's pogo sticking in the jumps and he lands on a handrail and slides down it.
01:39:36.000 But it's it's so cool.
01:39:40.000 I'm like, that's what it's all about, man.
01:39:43.000 Just gotta be creative and have fun.
01:39:45.000 Having fun's what it's all about.
01:39:48.000 I'm on, like, playthrough 87.
01:39:51.000 Is honor mode the hardest difficulty?
01:39:53.000 Yeah, it's where, like, when you die, you die.
01:39:55.000 Oh, wow.
01:39:55.000 Yeah, you die, you die.
01:39:57.000 And it's the hardest.
01:39:58.000 So, it's like, honor mode.
01:39:59.000 It's like, it's real.
01:40:00.000 You don't get to save.
01:40:01.000 You can't load.
01:40:03.000 You get one single save.
01:40:06.000 You get to use one time in the game?
01:40:07.000 You can save it once?
01:40:08.000 It's still like, if you turn the game off, you can load where you were, but if you die, it says, you died, it's over, bye.
01:40:13.000 You can't reload after that?
01:40:14.000 If you die, you can choose to play in a custom version, but it's, so it's still similar.
01:40:19.000 Oh, but you're not in honor mode anymore.
01:40:21.000 You've lost the achievement, yeah.
01:40:23.000 Yeah, that's fun.
01:40:26.000 Jacob Parody says, Tim, thanks so much for letting me shout out to Narbar's Candles.
01:40:30.000 Say, when you put in the super chat, we shout it out.
01:40:33.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
01:40:33.000 says, Tim, I saw folks say you went too hard too fast on Friday.
01:40:36.000 I say to them, no way you were right.
01:40:38.000 Time for handsetting is far passed over.
01:40:40.000 There's a nation to save.
01:40:41.000 Elon replied.
01:40:42.000 We'll see what he does.
01:40:43.000 I want to stress this.
01:40:44.000 I don't like the idea people are saying like, didn't Elon say he couldn't be blackmailed with money?
01:40:49.000 And I'm like, My thing is, we are not big advertisers.
01:40:53.000 It is hard for us to advertise, and when we do, we choose to do it.
01:40:56.000 When Elon said he was standing up for us, I said, then I will stand up with him.
01:41:01.000 When his company then said, Psyche!
01:41:03.000 I went, Psyche?
01:41:04.000 That's it.
01:41:05.000 Like, we're back to base.
01:41:08.000 I didn't pull the money to be like, ha ha, now you better do what I say or else.
01:41:11.000 It's like, I only agreed to buy the marketing campaign in the first place because I thought they had our back.
01:41:16.000 So if he fixes it, like, I'm down.
01:41:19.000 I'm not even kidding.
01:41:21.000 It was funny because we had a 25K ad campaign, and people were like, no you didn't, and I screenshotted it and posted it.
01:41:25.000 There it was, it's gone now.
01:41:26.000 And 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.
01:41:35.000 I'd love to put it up there, but I could advertise it literally anywhere else.
01:41:39.000 And I do think it's fair to advertise on X regardless of what Elon does.
01:41:44.000 I'm just saying the commitment of 250,000 ads is on pause.
01:41:49.000 I may still buy ads because I do think it's hypocritical to single out Twitter or X just because of this one thing.
01:41:56.000 That's why I'm like, we're not going to get rid of our pro account.
01:41:58.000 That's unfair.
01:41:59.000 We use a lot of platforms that do bad things.
01:42:01.000 I don't want to single X out for that just because they did a bad thing.
01:42:04.000 And to be fair, Elon's response humbles me.
01:42:09.000 I'm like, dude, thank you so much.
01:42:11.000 I really appreciate that.
01:42:12.000 It's the fact that he's really willing to reach out to people and say, like, I really want to make this right.
01:42:16.000 I'm like, it's just way better than most companies.
01:42:19.000 So.
01:42:20.000 So, you know, it is what it is.
01:42:21.000 I was mad.
01:42:23.000 Let's read some more.
01:42:25.000 The emperor's champions is, wow, calling to dissolve SCOTUS.
01:42:28.000 Y'all Democrats are the worst tyrants ever in American history, except for maybe George the third.
01:42:32.000 Ah, that's a good one.
01:42:34.000 That's wild.
01:42:36.000 They're calling... Keith Olbermann, I don't know if he counts as a they, but he's calling for SCOTUS to be dissolved.
01:42:42.000 That's absolutely insane that we're at this point.
01:42:44.000 And that they're trying to remove Trump off the ballot.
01:42:46.000 They're the biggest threat to our democracy.
01:42:49.000 That's what the headline would be if he were a conservative, right?
01:42:52.000 They would be like, crazy man calls for the end of SCOTUS.
01:42:56.000 How could he do this?
01:42:57.000 Instead, they're like, he's making some great points.
01:42:59.000 It's very interesting.
01:43:01.000 Bricktop says crypto is pumping.
01:43:03.000 Do your duty.
01:43:04.000 Invest in MAGA.
01:43:06.000 Oh, is it really?
01:43:07.000 I'm not gonna give anybody any advice on crypto, but I am not a big fan of what they call ishcoins.
01:43:14.000 Yeah, nah.
01:43:15.000 What's an ishcoin?
01:43:17.000 It's a shitcoin.
01:43:19.000 Oh.
01:43:19.000 Yes, they're called shitcoins.
01:43:20.000 Cryptos that don't do anything?
01:43:21.000 Or that aren't tied to something?
01:43:23.000 They'll be like, my crypto is good because we have this number of crypto coins.
01:43:27.000 And it's like, uh-huh.
01:43:30.000 Bitcoin I get, the rest are just people chasing after it.
01:43:33.000 But I think Bitcoin broke the record.
01:43:36.000 Yeah, 68, it's at right now, 68,000.
01:43:37.000 It reached 68.8, and I believe the record was around there, so it's basically at record levels.
01:43:43.000 According to Google's price tracker, it already broke the record, but some are saying it was just shy of 69, so it may be at the record.
01:43:51.000 Was it at 70?
01:43:52.000 We're there, Bitcoin record price.
01:43:56.000 Uh, alright.
01:43:58.000 Rusto says, Tim, I asked Styx what he thought of your coffee and he said he didn't know you made any.
01:44:02.000 How dare you not offer any Clanker King Sweet Caffeine?
01:44:04.000 We have a whole little coffee bar.
01:44:07.000 Oh wait, how many?
01:44:08.000 Oh yeah, we got Casper's in there.
01:44:10.000 We got some of the old SF Bay coffee, that's pretty good stuff too.
01:44:13.000 But we used to buy those, they're biodegradable, K-Cups, respect.
01:44:17.000 The problem is they're exposed, so they get stale once you put them in a jar and seal them.
01:44:21.000 But now we have all Casper Coffee K-Cups.
01:44:25.000 So we got little rides with Roberto Juniors downstairs and everybody loves it.
01:44:29.000 I gotta be honest man, it's kinda crazy.
01:44:33.000 I've, uh, my family had a coffee shop when I was a kid.
01:44:36.000 I worked at a pizza in Seattle.
01:44:38.000 I know coffee.
01:44:39.000 And Appalachian Nights is mind-blowing.
01:44:41.000 We put a blend together, we combined flavors we liked, and it is like a dark roast, done right.
01:44:48.000 I can't even, I don't even know how to say it.
01:44:49.000 That's the one that keeps selling out?
01:44:51.000 Yeah, and it's crazy because Rides With Roberto Jr.
01:44:54.000 was the one we were trying to make our, like, signature blend with literally Roberto Jr.
01:44:59.000 on it.
01:44:59.000 He's like, he's our mascot.
01:45:00.000 And initially, that sold like crazy.
01:45:03.000 And then slowly over time, people just started discovering Appalachian Nights and buying it like crazy.
01:45:08.000 On top of that, hey, talk about success, Eyes of Advice by Timcast, the number one song in Toronto.
01:45:15.000 For real.
01:45:16.000 Thanks, Canada.
01:45:16.000 You're great.
01:45:17.000 We were number one in Edmonton.
01:45:19.000 And then I was talking to my girlfriend and she was like, oh, Edmonton, that's pretty small, right?
01:45:25.000 A million people.
01:45:27.000 And Toronto is 2.7.
01:45:29.000 And so YouTube gave us this little accolade saying, congratulations, you were number one in Edmonton and number one in Toronto.
01:45:34.000 I'm like, that's kind of wild.
01:45:35.000 Whoa.
01:45:35.000 We put out this song, it's got almost six million views, and it's the number one song in Toronto.
01:45:40.000 So we're rock stars in Canada, that proves it.
01:45:43.000 On YouTube?
01:45:43.000 YouTube Music said the number one song in Toronto is Eyes of Advice by Timcast.
01:45:49.000 How do you guys like it, Toronto?
01:45:50.000 They must love it a lot.
01:45:52.000 That Canadian rock, you know, they're big fans.
01:45:56.000 Scooby Dragon says Tim ordered Appalachian Nights a week ago.
01:45:59.000 I just brewed my first cup on Saturday with some damn good coffee.
01:46:03.000 We told everyone to buy Rise with Roberto Jr., and then we were like, and Appalachian Nights is also our other blend.
01:46:09.000 And 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.
01:46:16.000 When you're re-upping the Appalachian Nights now, are you buying double for stock?
01:46:20.000 So it doesn't sell out?
01:46:21.000 We can't keep up.
01:46:22.000 It sold out again.
01:46:23.000 And getting it more mass-produced?
01:46:25.000 They're just in the back end?
01:46:26.000 They don't have enough?
01:46:27.000 No, no.
01:46:27.000 They're like, okay, we're going to start ramping up production.
01:46:29.000 And apparently we're, like, selling too much.
01:46:34.000 That's a good point.
01:46:34.000 They're like, we have to expand the operation.
01:46:36.000 And, you know, I'm talking to my girlfriend.
01:46:38.000 I'm like, we got to get this in stock.
01:46:41.000 How are we ever sold out?
01:46:42.000 This shouldn't be the case.
01:46:43.000 Because, I mean, come on.
01:46:44.000 If we have our distributor produce more of it, It can sit on the shelf for a year.
01:46:50.000 I don't want it to.
01:46:51.000 We want to turn it around within a month, but we shouldn't ever sell out, but people are buying it too fast.
01:46:56.000 It's too delicious.
01:46:58.000 Buy it on back order.
01:47:00.000 If 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.
01:47:15.000 And it takes a while.
01:47:16.000 It takes a long time to make it all.
01:47:18.000 I mean, it's not like you just make it overnight.
01:47:20.000 So I was like, can we up our order?
01:47:21.000 Let's like order three, four times as much.
01:47:24.000 Because if we're selling out every week, we can certainly have some in the warehouse for three weeks.
01:47:30.000 It's not a big deal.
01:47:31.000 But people love it.
01:47:32.000 It's crazy.
01:47:33.000 So we're really excited.
01:47:34.000 At the event tomorrow, we're going to have coffee for sale.
01:47:38.000 Yeah.
01:47:38.000 We probably should get a coffee maker and make some coffee.
01:47:41.000 Sounds like a good idea.
01:47:43.000 I'm sure they had that planned.
01:47:44.000 Yeah, get that house smelling like... Yeah.
01:47:46.000 ...Casper.
01:47:47.000 But there's gonna be t-shirts, and there's gonna be, um... We gotta order way more t-shirts, too, because we're, like, running out.
01:47:52.000 But we're also gonna have bags of the coffee available for our members to buy.
01:47:56.000 All right, let's grab some Super Chats.
01:47:59.000 Where are we at?
01:48:01.000 Titan Soap says, they're currently in the process of getting on Public Square.
01:48:04.000 Titan is here to offer an alternative to woke men's soap companies.
01:48:06.000 Here, here!
01:48:07.000 Public Square is where it's at.
01:48:09.000 We're going to be sponsoring a NASCAR driver.
01:48:13.000 Is that what it's called?
01:48:14.000 Is that how you say it?
01:48:15.000 Yeah.
01:48:16.000 A NASCAR driver?
01:48:16.000 Yeah.
01:48:17.000 I don't know anything about it, but I say yes.
01:48:18.000 That is how you say it.
01:48:19.000 And I'm going to wait until we have the paperwork finalized, but we're really excited.
01:48:22.000 We're doing a full wrap on a car.
01:48:23.000 There's going to be a Timcast car in a bunch of these big races.
01:48:27.000 Super cool.
01:48:28.000 That's super cool.
01:48:29.000 And possibly even Public Square involved.
01:48:31.000 We'll see.
01:48:31.000 We'll see.
01:48:31.000 I don't want to speak for them.
01:48:33.000 But it's going to be a really... It's going to be great.
01:48:35.000 I'm very excited for this.
01:48:37.000 Let's go!
01:48:38.000 What do we got?
01:48:40.000 Arachneus Webb says, Tim never reads my superchats.
01:48:44.000 What does the panel think about the idea of a triumvirate being instituted if rank choice is restored?
01:48:50.000 Perhaps they could choose a small percentage of SCOTUS cases.
01:48:53.000 A triumvirate?
01:48:54.000 This person is a middle child.
01:48:56.000 Tim never reads my superchats.
01:48:58.000 It's okay, I'm a middle child too.
01:49:00.000 A triumvirate is unnecessary.
01:49:01.000 We have a Supreme Court.
01:49:03.000 You're basically just asking for a Supreme Court of three.
01:49:06.000 Although I like the word, and I appreciate you super chatting, probably just to use the word.
01:49:09.000 What's your thought?
01:49:10.000 Do you want to try over it?
01:49:12.000 No, also ranked choice voting is dumb.
01:49:14.000 Yeah, why do you think?
01:49:16.000 It eliminates the whole one person, one vote thing.
01:49:19.000 It completely turns how we do elections on its head.
01:49:22.000 It's actually a way to prevent the person who gets the most votes from winning, which is how elections have been done forever.
01:49:28.000 And 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.
01:49:34.000 The 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.
01:49:47.000 So 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.
01:50:00.000 The 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.
01:50:07.000 And 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.
01:50:17.000 So I don't know that... Seems like a Muslim Brotherhood problem, not a voting problem.
01:50:23.000 The fact that the Muslim Brotherhood won the election and got massacred by the secular army?
01:50:27.000 Seems like a secular army not wanting to allow a religious minority to rule the country problem.
01:50:32.000 But we don't have that problem here, because we don't have 20% of the public having 100% of the power at all.
01:50:39.000 No, you've got 50-50 fighting back and forth until the point where the system cracks.
01:50:44.000 So the issue with Egypt was the revolution happened, and then there were different factions, and so they all voted for their faction.
01:50:50.000 It didn't get to the point where it whittled down to two parties.
01:50:54.000 The 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.
01:51:02.000 I 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.
01:51:11.000 But nobody has to vote for Biden or Trump.
01:51:12.000 Yeah, it's just practically speaking, Dave Smith wouldn't win.
01:51:17.000 So 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.
01:51:25.000 Well, 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.
01:51:35.000 It's election hacking.
01:51:36.000 That's not the minority.
01:51:40.000 If 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.
01:51:47.000 I'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.
01:51:55.000 So instead, you get a lot of libertarians who are like, I'm gonna vote for Trump because I have to.
01:52:00.000 I feel like that's a Libertarian pipe dream that they could get 15 or 20 percent.
01:52:04.000 If we had a ranked choice system in this country, I'd vote Libertarian first and Republican second.
01:52:08.000 And then when the Libertarians lose, my vote defaults to the Republican party and then Trump wins.
01:52:13.000 But 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.
01:52:21.000 Everyone would have been like, well, yeah, Ron Paul's the guy.
01:52:23.000 He can't win though.
01:52:24.000 But I'll vote number one for him.
01:52:26.000 But if he doesn't get it, then fine, it goes to Romney.
01:52:28.000 Then Ron Paul wins.
01:52:29.000 Everyone's like, wow, I can't believe he won.
01:52:31.000 That's who I wanted.
01:52:32.000 I just didn't think he would win because he didn't have the support.
01:52:35.000 Or he gets 37%.
01:52:36.000 Doesn't matter because your vote then goes to Romney.
01:52:37.000 You don't lose anything.
01:52:38.000 So I'm not saying Rancho's voting works in every instance.
01:52:40.000 I'm just saying first past the post is not necessarily the way to do it.
01:52:47.000 All right, let's grab some more.
01:52:49.000 All right.
01:52:50.000 Barfightin says, I beg to differ, Tim.
01:52:53.000 We 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.
01:53:04.000 Man are trying to put our money where our mouths are?
01:53:06.000 You mean, well, I know that the average person, as I'm talking, you know, I'm saying the politicians don't do anything.
01:53:12.000 The Republican politicians just sit around being like, what's going on?
01:53:15.000 I don't know.
01:53:17.000 Eldking says today's my birthday and the Supreme Court gave me the best birthday present I could ask for.
01:53:22.000 Also, the little thing in a ratchet that keeps it from going backwards is called a Paul.
01:53:26.000 Also, hi Ryan.
01:53:27.000 A Paul?
01:53:28.000 A Paul.
01:53:28.000 P-A-W-L.
01:53:29.000 Learned something new today.
01:53:30.000 There you go.
01:53:31.000 And, uh, my birthday's on Saturday!
01:53:32.000 Hey, happy birthday.
01:53:34.000 I will be 38 years old.
01:53:35.000 Nice.
01:53:36.000 Amazing.
01:53:37.000 Absolutely crazy.
01:53:39.000 That's weird.
01:53:39.000 Time flies, man.
01:53:40.000 I started doing all this... Man, it's been 13 years.
01:53:44.000 That's wild.
01:53:45.000 That's a long time.
01:53:46.000 13 years of doing this here political stuff.
01:53:50.000 I was doing non-profit behind-the-scenes stuff.
01:53:52.000 You know, wasn't doing the news stuff.
01:53:57.000 Donna Rose says, surviving in CA, dropped off my ballot at the registrar's office.
01:54:01.000 It was a long line.
01:54:03.000 Poll woman said, it's been really busy all day.
01:54:05.000 CA's waking up.
01:54:07.000 Perhaps, perhaps.
01:54:08.000 I was just visiting some family in North Carolina, and they got sent a card in the mail that said, remember to vote.
01:54:16.000 Vote.
01:54:17.000 If you don't, everyone will know.
01:54:19.000 And then it said, voting is a matter of public record.
01:54:22.000 And it showed a picture of angry people like this.
01:54:25.000 They're bullying you!
01:54:25.000 Like, I'm not kidding.
01:54:27.000 Everyone will know!
01:54:28.000 And I was like, I assumed it was gonna be a Democrat thing, but it looks like it was a Republican thing.
01:54:33.000 The 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.
01:54:39.000 Yeah, but Republicans need a lot of knock on doors.
01:54:44.000 One 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.
01:54:54.000 Its creator, Vidal, is already having problems.
01:54:56.000 Sweet.
01:54:57.000 Wow.
01:54:57.000 This is awful.
01:54:58.000 Why would you guys do this to us?
01:54:59.000 That's Neurosama?
01:55:01.000 Artificial Intelligence VTuber?
01:55:03.000 Really?
01:55:04.000 Neurosama.
01:55:04.000 Maybe.
01:55:06.000 So what we need to do is...
01:55:08.000 We need to get a massive data center, create one character using like GPT, and let it write its own code.
01:55:18.000 But isolate it from the internet.
01:55:20.000 So we just see what happens.
01:55:22.000 As people talk to it every day, you give it a virtual world, like put it in Skyrim.
01:55:27.000 Or GTA.
01:55:29.000 Give it some basic rules like pain is bad, survival is good, and then just see what it does.
01:55:35.000 I feel like it's not even worth the risk.
01:55:37.000 It's the beginning of a horror movie.
01:55:39.000 Yeah, it sounds like you're working on like something, getting a function in some laboratory somewhere.
01:55:43.000 What's going to happen to that?
01:55:45.000 That could be a good movie.
01:55:46.000 Like some guy does that and that ends up falling in love with this digital thing he created.
01:55:51.000 Yeah.
01:55:51.000 It feels like a weird digital version of the Truman Show, but Truman's not a person, it's an AI.
01:55:55.000 Oh, that's a good idea.
01:55:56.000 She wants to come out, but he's like, no, I want to go in.
01:56:00.000 He builds her a body.
01:56:02.000 That'd be cool.
01:56:03.000 He's like, should I let her out or should I go in?
01:56:05.000 And he's got to make that.
01:56:07.000 That'll be a cool movie.
01:56:08.000 I'm happy you guys made this movie.
01:56:09.000 I don't want this thing to happen in real life.
01:56:11.000 I'm against this.
01:56:12.000 I feel like if I have to cast a vote right now.
01:56:14.000 No giant data center.
01:56:15.000 It's weird when people respond to AI like it's really talking to you.
01:56:18.000 Have you ever done that?
01:56:19.000 No, I don't interact with AI as much as I can ever avoid it.
01:56:23.000 I don't need to be a part of this.
01:56:24.000 I don't like it.
01:56:25.000 Even for your research for work?
01:56:25.000 I don't trust it.
01:56:27.000 No, because I can't.
01:56:28.000 The thing is, AI data, if you, like, type into ChatGPT, like, tell me all this, like, it's often wrong.
01:56:33.000 Like, it doesn't always produce accurate data, so I'd rather just do the legwork on my own.
01:56:36.000 Also, you're training it whenever you talk to it.
01:56:38.000 Yeah, I don't want to train it.
01:56:39.000 Don't be training AI.
01:56:39.000 I don't want to give it any information.
01:56:41.000 So 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.
01:56:51.000 And 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.
01:57:20.000 souls or whatever you'd call them.
01:57:21.000 A.I.
01:57:22.000 genocide.
01:57:22.000 Yeah.
01:57:23.000 The A.I.
01:57:23.000 frozen embryos.
01:57:24.000 Is that what you're talking about?
01:57:25.000 He's like, yeah, right.
01:57:26.000 All the people who live in the A.I.
01:57:28.000 universe get deleted in an instant.
01:57:31.000 That'd be fun.
01:57:32.000 We got to make these movies.
01:57:33.000 It sounds like Deus Ex Machina.
01:57:36.000 What's that?
01:57:37.000 Ex Machina.
01:57:37.000 That movie Ex Machina.
01:57:38.000 Have you guys seen that?
01:57:39.000 Well, that was just about like a robot.
01:57:40.000 Yeah.
01:57:40.000 And it ended kind of prematurely.
01:57:42.000 You almost don't know what happened, but I don't want to spoil the movie.
01:57:44.000 Isn't it just like a robot kills a guy or something?
01:57:46.000 Tau was pretty good.
01:57:47.000 Have you seen Tau?
01:57:49.000 No.
01:57:49.000 It'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.
01:57:57.000 And the AI is not quite complete.
01:57:59.000 And so he, like, puts brain implants in people.
01:58:02.000 You should watch it.
01:58:02.000 I don't want to ruin the movie.
01:58:03.000 It's pretty good though.
01:58:05.000 That was fun.
01:58:07.000 Brown Bear says, I have to wonder if the guys at CBP are holding out for Trump to get back in office.
01:58:11.000 They're going to need to be there to deport all the illegals.
01:58:15.000 If I was Donald Trump, And I got elected.
01:58:19.000 The 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.
01:58:31.000 And I would have my AG get the criminal indictments and we'd put him in prison forever.
01:58:38.000 Well, 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?
01:58:50.000 And says, ma'am, your husband took children from cartel members and facilitated their trafficking into prostitution rings.
01:58:58.000 He's going to prison for a long time.
01:59:00.000 And 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.
01:59:09.000 You are a child sex trafficker.
01:59:11.000 You do not get to have the excuse of, but I'm waiting for Trump.
01:59:16.000 Like, holy crap, dude.
01:59:17.000 There are some things, it's just like, I'm not playing, I'm not playing.
01:59:20.000 Like, 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.
01:59:38.000 I get it, I get it.
01:59:39.000 Child sex trafficking?
01:59:42.000 Dude, I hope Donald Trump gets a whole bunch of armored dudes, goes down to CBP in Texas, and laughs.
01:59:48.000 And they laugh as they arrest these guys, being like, you were trafficking kids, what did you think was gonna happen?
01:59:53.000 But I was waiting for you to get elected.
01:59:54.000 Oh, so I get like, you're going to jail for a long time.
01:59:56.000 I wanna see a perp walk for all these guys.
01:59:58.000 I don't get it.
01:59:59.000 I don't get how there could be conservatives who are like, I don't blame them, I blame Joe Biden.
02:00:03.000 Oh, sure, Biden's bad.
02:00:05.000 I think he's bad and he's responsible for it too.
02:00:08.000 But like, there's a dude who took a child from a cartel member and facilitated their transport to a prostitution ring.
02:00:16.000 Prison.
02:00:18.000 For the lot of them.
02:00:18.000 Yeah, what you want is for it to not happen again.
02:00:21.000 So you want to scare those people into believing that their lives will be forfeit if they do it.
02:00:27.000 And that might be the best thing is you don't want to punish everybody right afterwards.
02:00:31.000 You want to punish the leadership.
02:00:33.000 And some make examples of some of them.
02:00:36.000 And 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.
02:00:44.000 And 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.
02:00:52.000 All right, last super chat.
02:00:54.000 Here we go.
02:00:57.000 Leonhardtum says, Tim, the elder brain is trying to take over the U.S.
02:01:00.000 Baldur's Gate was just the first step.
