A cargo ship smashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, killing several people and shutting down one of the largest ports in the country. Meanwhile, Donald Trump just got a billion dollars richer, and the wall got 10 feet higher. Plus, Jon Stewart's hypocrisy, and Letitia James.
00:00:14.000One of the largest ports in the country is now shut down after a major cargo ship smashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, destroying the bridge, presumably killing several people, and basically shutting down one of the largest ports in the country.
00:00:40.000Unless we get some evidence on that one, I don't know.
00:00:42.000Many people are suggesting it was a cyber attack due to many anomalies that occurred, considering this is a rare event and we're currently in a bunch of active conflict, especially with Iran, the Red Sea, you've got China, Taiwan, you've got Russia and Ukraine, plus Russia's claiming that Western intelligence was involved in the Moscow attack in some way.
00:02:18.000And Trump gets wealthier and he can use that money pending a waiver to sell stock or take a loan against it to fund his campaign.
00:02:24.000So we'll talk about that plus a bunch of other stuff.
00:02:26.000Jon Stewart's ragging on Trump, claiming that Letitia James knew he committed fraud because when it came time to pay taxes, he paid a lower amount, which proves he was lying.
00:02:36.000The funny thing about that is tax assessment for buildings is done by the city, not by the individual.
00:02:41.000So Jon Stewart clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
00:03:11.000Make sure you pick up your Rise with Roberto Junior, Re-Rise with Roberto Junior, Hollywood Special, uh, Hollywood, Holly, Halloween Special Edition, which we have not yet sold out of.
00:03:20.000We have a lot of bags, so we're just, you know, we refill them, and, uh, once that runs out, they're gone.
00:04:43.000I go by Texas Lindsey on Twitter, now X. I'm getting tired of saying it that way, but on X. A lot of people think that I did that to be anonymous, but that's not why.
00:04:55.000It's because Your name is Lindsay Jones.
00:05:36.000For those who missed it, I assume most of you know this, but we have this video right here.
00:05:40.000The Maryland-Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after being struck by a container ship, slamming right into one of its central support columns, destroying the whole thing.
00:05:50.000Six construction workers are presumed dead.
00:07:28.000This has just created an artificial barrier into Baltimore's port, one of the largest ports in the country, affecting trade massively.
00:07:39.000Now, I watched this assessment by this guy who's got a YouTube channel about shipping, and he says, you know, basically it's moving forward, the engine's cut off, they drop the port side anchor, which causes it to shift and steer right into that support column.
00:07:52.000The question is, as the White House says, it's not terrorism, and there's no indication it was intentional.
00:07:58.000How does an accident like this happen?
00:08:00.000Well, according to the Postmillennial, the ship that struck the bridge was involved in 2016 crash and had deficiencies.
00:08:09.000I gotta say, I think we should operate under the idea that it was an attack, an intentional cyber attack, manipulating the control systems and the engines of the ship itself.
00:08:19.000And it would not be a very difficult thing to do.
00:08:22.000There have been numerous researchers who have published studies on the security of these large container vessels and how to manipulate them.
00:08:43.000This shuts down one of our largest ports.
00:08:45.000I think it's fair to question whether or not there was a cyber attack on the United States, and operating under that assumption would keep us safer, but I'm curious what you guys think.
00:08:53.000I don't think that to presume that it's a cyber attack is a bad idea for the government, and to be honest with you, considering the fact that the government has contingency plans for just about everything, like every eventuality that you could possibly come up with, I assume that the government is probably looking into this, or at least into the possibility, just because that's what the government does.
00:09:19.000I think for the people that are going to say, oh, it's ridiculous to even speculate, blah, blah, blah, the government has plans for literally everything.
00:09:28.000So I'm sure that there are people looking to see if there was a cyber attack.
00:09:33.000As for the ramifications, I mean, clearly it's going to be a gigantic mess forever, or not forever, but a long time, because the government is not going to clean it up.
00:09:45.000In my opinion, that's the biggest thing that's going on is the effect on the economy.
00:09:49.000The fact that the whole ports shut down and what it's going to mean for gas prices for, you know, cause you're coming into starting to get into the springtime travel seasons coming and stuff.
00:09:58.000That's going to, that's going to be a, it's going to have a big, big effect downstream for, for the economy.
00:10:03.000So we have this from the Baltimore banner.
00:10:05.000They say, no, it's not world war three experts say bridge collapse, almost certainly not planned attack.
00:10:13.000It's a tweet from Alex Jones that says something like, looks deliberate, like a cyber attack is probable, World War III has already started, and it says fake.
00:10:35.000It's his opinion on what he thinks may have happened.
00:10:39.000Just because experts come out and say, it was it was an accident and not intentional doesn't mean you're not allowed to opine or that your opinion is fake.
00:10:47.000My opinion is I don't trust the government and maybe it was a cyber attack.
00:11:57.000Why do we know so quickly that it wasn't a terror attack?
00:12:00.000I don't know, I just- It's just because that's what- I feel like that's just the narrative they want to put out there, but- Well, it's just because- it's literally just because it's the opposite- But I admit, I'm more trust, you know?
00:12:08.000It's the opposite of what- of what, you know, Alex Jones said.
00:12:12.000It's the- the- The people that are politically incorrect or whatever are saying it, so we're going to take the opposite.
00:12:19.000And you saw this happen significantly during COVID.
00:12:23.000There are still people that walk around wearing masks.
00:12:25.000And you know that it's not because there's a significant protection that mask is offering.
00:12:31.000It's because they're making a political statement or an ideological statement.
00:12:34.000So it's very normal for people to be like, Alex Jones said it.
00:12:38.000Oh, he's crazy and he's wrong, blah, blah, blah.
00:12:41.000Without putting any thought into whether or not cyberattacks are actually common or not, and it's clear, considering the energy and effort that the United States, all governments and all big corporations, the amount of money they spend in defending against cyberattacks, to say that it wouldn't be a cyberattack, that's ridiculous.
00:12:58.000One assessment that I watched says the whole thing goes dark, engines shut down.
00:13:27.000So they drop anchor, forcing the ship to go right into the support column.
00:13:32.000I mean, I don't know anything about steering a big ship like that at all, so.
00:13:37.000But it does steer right into the comm.
00:13:41.000So these are just a handful of people claiming on the internet, you know, running different channels, saying if it just, the power went out and they did nothing, it would have kept going straight.
00:13:51.000It would have gone straight underneath the bridge and just left.
00:13:54.000They forced it to shift and steer into the support comm.
00:14:28.000But you know, there was this moment when the lights go out in that recording where I'm like, are they trying to reboot a system on the computer?
00:14:38.000The emergency backup generator comes on.
00:14:40.000So it just takes a minute for that to turn on.
00:14:43.000So it's not like they're trying to reboot it themselves.
00:14:45.000It automatically comes on when they lose power.
00:14:48.000So, I don't know, there's another take on this by Ethical Skeptic who looked into it and then checked into the wind directions and the tide currents to see what direction the- he did it at 5 a.m.
00:15:01.000this morning too- and he Because basically this was like a perfect storm of events with the full moon and the way the wind pulled and the currents pulled.
00:15:12.000He said, I don't think this was deliberate.
00:15:47.000And you'll be like, no, it was the tide.
00:15:48.000And then they'll go, oh, you're right, it was the moon.
00:15:50.000It does make me wonder, like, if only we could have a time machine.
00:15:53.000If Alex Jones had actually tweeted that this was an accident, if the Baltimore Banner headline would say, no, this was a deliberate attack, I would love to know how that would play out.
00:16:02.000If it's always going to be hardline, whatever, you know, this, you know, one side of the debate Right.
00:16:08.000I just want to know what happened immediately.
00:16:11.000I just want to know what happened with this anchor, right?
00:16:13.000So, like, if there's a malfunction on the ship and the anchor drops or just someone press a button and the anchor drops, like, I just don't know enough about boats.
00:17:43.000How come there are no large barriers protecting central support columns from bridges that cost tens of millions of dollars and took five years to build and whose destruction could disable one of the largest ports?
00:18:26.000They say it was a local harbor crew, but it's a Singaporean ship.
00:18:31.000Well, you know, it could be a cyber attack, but I just think that you, I think you have to have proof of that, or at least be seeking proof to investigate that.
00:18:43.000This ship driver slipped on a banana peel, spun in circles, and headed directly for the one part of the, one of two parts of this bridge that would destroy and disable one of the largest ports in America, or We're at war, and our enemies have been cyberattacking us relentlessly.
00:18:59.000In the news already, there are numerous reports of Chinese cyberattacks on the United States.
00:19:03.000So, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions is, we're at war with Russia.
00:19:13.000Disables the largest port in America versus a perfect storm of weather, tides, an ill-prepared crew, two random power outages, and a dropped anchor at the most inopportune time, causing it to shift perfectly to the central support column of a bridge that collapses, killing people, disabling hazmat transportation, and shutting down one of the largest ports in this country.
00:19:35.000Okay, by all means, that may be the explanation, but the simple solution right now is our port was attacked.
00:20:25.000If there were two bridges and two boats that have been hit, then we would absolutely be in agreement.
00:20:31.000My point is simply, intentional act makes the least amount of assumptions than the perfect storm of accidents disabling one of our largest ports.
00:20:40.000It's a strong coincidence that while the US was just accused by, I shouldn't say the US, but Western intelligence was just accused of aiding these terrorists in Moscow, A day later!
00:21:27.000Maybe the attacks are happening somewhere else.
00:21:28.000They're attacking our southern border, sending drugs and criminals and stuff.
00:21:33.000Then this ship lost power at the worst time, dropped anchor, causing it to spin.
00:21:37.000Then the power kicked back on and kicked off, slamming into one of the central support columns, knocking out this bridge, disabling one of the largest ports and our hazmat transport for the East Coast.
00:21:46.000I just think, while both are entirely possible, the simple solution is, we were attacked.
00:21:53.000Do you think it would be better for Biden if it was an attack, or worse?
00:21:57.000Because my thought is here, if it were an attack, he'd be like, I'm gonna rally support, we're gonna go after these guys.
00:22:02.000But by admitting that it was an attack, he's admitting that we're weak.
00:22:06.000Like, what spin would the Biden administration- I gotta be honest, I mean like- Biden's whole campaign though is, we're weak, and we're gonna build back better.
00:22:26.000would deny it, to be completely honest, I can make up 50 million reasons why they would or would not want to deny it.
00:22:31.000It's just really about whether you think one may be true or not.
00:22:34.000That being said, if it's coming to say like the art of war, you want to win the war before it starts, the US, China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, the BRICS nations, the NATO countries, they want to align their chessboard in the appropriate places before they begin trading pieces.
00:22:49.000So they want to know that they've actually set the board for victory before the hot war kicks off.
00:22:55.000That could be a disadvantage to force your enemy into declaration of a hot war, which shifts the priorities of a nation or causes the president to lose.
00:23:04.000If Joe Biden comes out, and this is all hypothetical because there's a million one arguments, this is not the case.
00:23:10.000Joe Biden comes out and says, this was retaliation by Russia for our direct involvement with the Ukrainians and what Victoria Nuland said in supporting terror attacks in Russia.
00:24:21.000Ron Paul has been warning about a Black Swan event.
00:24:24.000We've been concerned about the potential for cyber attacks.
00:24:27.000We have numerous stories right now in international media of the US and the UK Furious that China keeps launching cyber attacks against it then this happens they go no no no no no ignore everything That's been in the news so far This was an accident, and it was just a perfect storm of tides wind the moon position a bad poorly trained crew dropping anchor at the wrong time where the power went out abruptly for some unknown reason and then caused the ship to steer right in the support comm knocking out a bridge disabling one of the largest ports in the country
00:24:59.000I just find that really difficult, you know what I mean?
00:25:01.000I think in this case, both people are wrong.
00:25:03.000You have the paper that's wrong, and Andrew Tathan's wrong, because they're both saying that he's not right, and the newspaper is saying that this is absolutely not true, and he's saying this is absolutely not an accident.
00:25:16.000So the absolute problem is where you have the issue, because yes, it could be a cyber attack.
00:25:23.000But automatically trying to fact check and shut down and silence what one person says or discredit them and hurt their character for saying something.
00:26:10.000Because now the hazardous materials can't go across that bridge, and now they have to go through tunnels, and they have to get a permit to go through tunnels.
00:26:16.000They'll go north and around Baltimore.
00:26:18.000Baltimore, somebody from one of the Baltimore officials today said they'll just have to get a permit that take a few weeks in order to go through the tunnels in Baltimore.
00:26:27.000A lot of trucks will probably just divert around Baltimore, adding a lot of friction to the transport process.
00:26:34.000Oh, dude, I mean, this is bad for us, too, because we used BWI, which is right by the bridge, and so that means traffic's gonna get backed up, and it's gonna be brutal.
00:26:40.000Plus, uh, there's big shopping areas over there.
00:26:43.000It's gonna get cluttered, and it's already super cluttered.
00:26:46.000But there's, look, you could make the argument, Corey, uh, I think it's a fair argument.
00:26:51.000Yes, they would be targeting tunnels and civilians.
00:26:54.000Unless they're, unless the goal of a foreign actor is disabling infrastructure, which I mean, I gotta be honest.
00:27:00.000Do you want to attack civilians, which rallies public support against you, or could shock a system?
00:28:29.000Donald Trump has, and I can't believe it's not been done before, but I guess with the rise of the special purpose acquisition company, the SPAC, you're buying shares of Trump himself.
00:28:40.000So you can buy shares of Trump's company.
00:28:42.000I'm not saying you should, I'm saying you, when, you know, on Fox News today, there's that liberal woman, I don't know her name, but she was like, it's not worth it.
00:28:49.000The company, there's no way the stock is worth it.
00:28:53.000Trump supporters are buying shares of Donald Trump, and they're not going to sell them.
00:28:57.000If someone tries to do an institutional short against DJT, all Trump supporters are going to start buying up and holding, and they're going to shut down these institutions that try to attack the Trump stock.
00:29:09.000Meaning, the likelihood, based on the Trump fervor, his support base, is upward trajectory.
00:29:16.000I don't see why the stock would go down.
00:29:18.000Trump supporters who are buying it and driving it high aren't the ones who sold.
00:29:22.000It was probably retail investors who bought into it, decided to cash out.
00:29:27.000But Trump supporters are buying and holding.
00:29:29.000This means that Trump can fund his campaign off of this stock.
00:29:32.000He's made himself one of the wealthiest people, top 500 wealthiest people in the country.
00:30:17.000It should be, in theory, it should be easy to be able to find someone to loan you the money against that kind of stock.
00:30:25.000You know, that's what Musk did to fund his purchase of X or Twitter or whatever you want to call it.
00:30:32.000So, you know, it's good for his wallet and He's gonna fund his campaign off it.
00:30:38.000Yeah, you know, I think that as long as it's not illegal, I don't know campaign finance laws and I don't know what kind of laws surround it, but if there is any law that he even approaches breaking, there is going to be a DA frothing at the mouth ready to issue charges on him.
00:31:00.000Trump could jaywalk right now and they'd give him jail time for it.
00:31:03.000They're gonna be like, well, you know, it is a petty infraction that normally gets a ticket, but... But when you did it, jail for life!
00:31:14.000That's really horrible when you talk about the, you know, the ramifications of this kind of abuse of government, you know, on a, essentially just an American citizen.
00:31:26.000It's unprecedented and it's definitely set the tone for the way that people feel about New York entirely.
00:31:32.000Look, You know going into the city for for my band playing in the city is tough because you've got you know your bus and you got trailers and you got parking and it's it's a pain in the butt.
00:31:45.000I can't imagine and there's all you know there's all kinds of fees and stuff that you have to pay just to get your your vehicle in and stuff there was a time where they were talking about you have to can't bring your bus in you have to drive in in vans and stuff so it it's it's always been weird and a pain in the butt.
00:32:00.000I can't imagine what it's like for you know A large company to try to build a building there.
00:32:07.000And then with the government, the state government saying, look, we're going to attack this political person, attack this person over politics we don't like.
00:32:16.000You know, Kevin Leary, is it O'Leary or Kevin Leary?
00:32:25.000He's just going on every media, the full media circuit and every interview, just going off and screaming at the top of his lungs like this is, This is not America.
00:33:10.000And you know, another thing that people don't, I think your average person doesn't think about very frequently is when you're dealing with You know, loans and the amount of money, the large sums they're talking about, like one in two percent of billions of dollars is a whole lot of money that people are not okay with just watching evaporate.
00:33:31.000It's like, you might be like, well, I can go ahead and deal with, you know, 2.25 points on my loan or whatever, but those same 2.25 loan points on something at a billion dollars or whatever, people aren't messing around with that kind of money.
00:33:50.000So if there's any kind of risk, the first rule of investing is preserve your capital.
00:33:58.000So reportedly Truth Social loses 49 million dollars over the same period makes somewhere around three or four million dollars.
00:34:06.000So the argument plainly from a lot of people is there's no way this stock has anywhere near this value.
00:34:12.000Especially when you look at other larger companies that generate a healthy profit that don't have a stock value of this high.
00:34:17.000But this is what's scary to me is that it doesn't matter if the stock makes money at all.
00:34:21.000It doesn't matter if the Trump supporters want to buy it.
00:34:27.000The corporation or Trump could sell these shares to fans and use that capital to finance the platform.
00:34:34.000This is activist investing, funding a company, investing in it, not because of its success as a business, but because of its ideological importance to the people who are buying it.
00:34:48.000Right, I wish we could see the number of first-time stock buyers right now who are like, I don't care about any of this, but I am getting the stock.
00:34:54.000GameStop 2.0, but this is a political version of it instead of a bored-at-home, trying-to-learn-how-to-invest version.
00:35:02.000If people started shorting this, or if there was some kind of, you know, the same kind of drama that the GameStop people were involved in there with this, it would definitely be obviously very, very good for Trump, you know?
00:35:16.000It would bankrupt any institution that tries—so the Krasinskys were like, this is gonna be—there's gonna be major short positions against DJT, there's no way it's worth this, and I'm like, oh no, there won't be.
00:35:26.000If you were a bank, and you try and short this, and you get Donald Trump's base, which they say has a solid 40 to 44 percent, every single one of Trump's supporters will just start buying the shares to screw over anyone who tried to screw over Trump, and you will bankrupt your institution.
00:35:43.000As a side note, I think it's hilarious, this little stock situation is a clear It's clear destruction of the labor theory of value, so Marxist or BTFO.
00:35:59.000If people are willing to pay a premium price just because it says Donald Trump on it, don't tell me that the laborer sets the price.
00:36:51.000I mean, the thing about Trump is that he has such a strong base that really rallies around him.
00:36:56.000They believe in what he symbolizes for their country, so they're willing to say, like, I'm going to buy your stock, I'm going to buy your wine, I'm going to show up for you in ways that I wouldn't just for a random presidential candidate, because he has turned this into something larger than just politics.
00:37:11.000When I was working at Fusion, you had the narrative from a lot of these anti-Trump people, like, oh, Trump's had all these bankruptcies, and there was one story like, where's Trump steak?
00:39:14.000John Stewart gives cutting takedown of Kevin O'Leary defending Trump fraud.
00:39:17.000you know in the Trump magazine of course you're gonna be like look you can get
00:39:20.000Trump this and Trump that because again people will be like look my Trump water
00:39:24.000it sits on my mantle next to my Bible that I bought it Trumped her out.
00:39:28.000Let's jump to this next story from Mediaite such an a-hole Jon Stewart gives cutting takedown of Kevin O'Leary
00:39:36.000defending Trump fraud now the story my friends here is not about Jon Stewart giving
00:39:42.000his opinion I'm going to state for you, I believe I have caught Jon Stewart having committed serious real estate fraud.
00:39:48.000And I will show you the evidence in this segment because Jon Stewart argues that paying lower taxes on a building when you know it's worth more is fraud.
00:39:56.000And I have evidence Jon Stewart did just that.
00:39:59.000Now I gotta clarify because I am kidding.
00:40:01.000I don't know exactly how much Jon Stewart paid in his taxes.
00:40:03.000I do know that he sold the property well above its tax assessed value which in his argument Is undervaluing the property, which is fraud.
00:40:12.000He clearly has no idea what he's talking about, or he's intentionally lying about Donald Trump's fraud case.
00:40:20.000So, Kevin O'Leary, not just the co-host of Shark Tank, Jon Stewart is an a-hole.
00:40:24.000Stewart opened Monday night's show, The Daily Show, searing takedown of the conservative media's victimless crime defense that the business valuation fraud for which Trump has been found liable.
00:40:37.000The Trump Derangement Syndrome host aimed at many targets during his monologue but hit no one harder than O'Leary.
00:40:42.000Quote, The Attorney General of New York knew that Trump's property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties.
00:40:53.000It was all part of a very specific real estate practice known as lying.
00:41:12.000For those that don't know, and I assume most of you do, but many don't, and I think it's fair if you don't, there's something called a tax-assessed value and a market value.
00:41:22.000A tax-assessed value is what a local tax assessor from the government, they come to your property, they say, we think your property's worth this much, you gotta pay taxes based on what we think your property's worth.
00:41:30.000Market value is determined by appraisers, or quite literally, by you, if you're saying, I won't sell my house for less than a million bucks, and they'll say, your house is worth ten bucks, it's a, I don't care, you want it, it's a million bucks, that's the value I'm giving it.
00:41:41.000Now, an appraiser will give you a general assessment based on the market and other comparable properties, so it's a fair determination based on comparable properties, not necessarily what you want to sell it for.
00:41:53.000Jon Stewart's making the argument that Kevin O'Leary is wrong, that Donald Trump committed fraud because he paid taxes on an undervaluing of the building, Instead of paying what its fair market value was.
00:42:14.000This is from the New York Times, publicly available information on a major news website.
00:42:18.000A sophisticated penthouse at 161 Hudson Street, configured as a duplex loft with 2,000 square feet of outdoor options, nearly 6,000 square feet of interior space, sold for $17.5 million, and was the most expensive sale of the week according to city records.
00:42:30.000The voluminous unit number 9A and 8B, with more than 40 windows providing exposures in three directions, has been owned since 2005 by the television pundit Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show.
00:42:41.000Well, according to publicly available county records, January 5th, 2013, the tax assessed value of 161 Hudson Street.
00:43:24.000If I were to pay you less, that would be fraud, according to Jon Stewart's own arguments, right?
00:43:30.000Now, here's the best part about Jon Stewart's argument, because the dude clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
00:43:35.000If the argument is that when Trump went to pay taxes for his business and argued that his business had underutilized space, therefore he's operating at a loss, so he's filing business taxes with a loss to write down how much profit he made, he would overvalue the properties, not undervalue them, showing that Jon Stewart either has no idea what he's talking about or he's lying to manipulate people.
00:44:24.000The only potential argument you can make is that Trump was filing business taxes for his real estate company, cutting down how much profit he made by claiming he wasn't utilizing space properly.
00:44:35.000If that's the case, the real fraud would be arguing that your building that's only worth $100 million is in fact worth $200 million, and then saying that this loft that we haven't sold should be renting out for $100,000 a month based on the $200 million value, and that's a $100,000 per month loss, so I should pay less in taxes.
00:44:54.000Arguing that Trump undervalues his property means... Well, Jon Stewart's arguing that the city colluded with Donald Trump to drop his property taxes, while at the same time, I'll argue this.
00:45:05.000Jon Stewart knew his property was worth $17.5 million.
00:45:14.000Did Jon Stewart pay taxes based on the $17 million value?
00:45:18.000Furthermore, if the city argues that Jon Stewart's building or his condo was only worth $1.8 million, I think Jon Stewart committed fraud by lying to the prospective buyers.
00:45:30.000You see, many people said, Tim, the buyers chose... This is a response I get on Twitter.
00:45:34.000Everyone's like, you don't understand how fraud works, Tim.
00:45:37.000The buyers choosing to buy the property for $17.5 million chose to do that market sale.
00:46:58.000The reality is, and I was actually shocked by this, I pulled up Zillow, and I was like, let's debunk Jon Stewart's ridiculous argument by going on zillow.com and showing you the sale price is different from the tax assessed price.
00:47:09.000The government determines how much you pay, not Trump.
00:47:12.000Trump, of course, is going to maximize his value.
00:47:35.000It's like almost... Jon Stewart's property was worth $17 million and he was only paying taxes based on $748,000.
00:47:43.000Now that is some bull, and that's what they do in New York because people would probably flee if property taxes were actually based upon the true value of these condos and these lofts.
00:47:54.000Jon Stewart played the game, he knew the game, and he's lying to the American people for political power because he's a scumbag.
00:48:15.000She couldn't come forward and do that.
00:48:17.000And they said, well, we're just going to open up a window so that these claims can be filed just so we can go after him for the crazy lady with the E.J.
00:49:18.000The argument a lot of people have made against Trump is, oh, what, so because everyone's committing fraud, Trump should be allowed to do it?
00:49:24.000And I'm like, dude, if everyone's committing fraud and they all know how the machine operates, there's no fraud.
00:50:01.000It's weird how if you're in the right party, you don't have to get prosecuted for things that conservatives definitely do have to face charges for.
00:50:22.000Well, I mean, that's, that's kind of typical of the left.
00:50:25.000It's, it's, you know, if you step out of line or you get canceled, whether it be, you know, support by people in your party or, or if they're trying to kick you out of your job or whatever, like that's a standard practice on the left.
00:50:40.000And everybody that, that has thrown their lot in with the left should understand that you are only as useful as the current You're just a boring old woman.
00:50:51.000step out of line they will toss you under the bus. You can ask the radical
00:50:55.000feminists, the trans-exclusionary radical feminists, those are
00:50:58.000TERFs now and they are under the bus. They used to be the cutting edge of you
00:51:03.000know of feminist... You're just a boring old woman. Yeah.
00:51:07.000Too bad for you. Bring on the new women, the one with penises.
00:51:10.000I want to give a shout out to our good friend Ryan Krasenstein for this tremendous display.
00:51:15.000On Twitter, I said, did Jon Stewart commit fraud when he sold his penthouse for $17.5 million?
00:51:20.000New York listed its market value at $1.8, etc, etc.
00:51:23.000Brian Krasenstein argued, he responded, let me explain this to you in simple terms.
00:51:30.000John Stewart sold his property to someone who wanted to pay $17.5 million for it.
00:51:35.000I'm going to pause there and just try to explain this to Brian in simple terms.
00:51:39.000Brian, when you lie about the value of something and trick someone into paying for it, There is a fine line between fraud and not fraud.
00:51:49.000I am not literally saying Jon Stewart committed fraud.
00:51:51.000I think he's allowed to value his own property at whatever he wants and sell it.
00:51:54.000The argument is, tongue-in-cheek in this regard, that Jon Stewart knew the government assessed the value of his building at 1.8 million and he sold it for 17.5 anyway, therefore artificially inflating the value.
00:52:13.000He says Donald Trump lied to banks and financial institutions not only about the value of his properties, but about how much they were earning, the size of the properties, the number of units that could be built on the properties, in order to deceive them into taking risks they should not have taken, and lending him money they would not have lended him.
00:52:28.000One case is someone selling a property over the state's estimated market value because demand is there, with both parties entering the agreement knowing the terms.
00:54:10.000I do appreciate this because it makes it easy for me to explain to the viewers.
00:54:16.000I quite literally just read you, dear viewer, a quote from Jon Stewart that Donald Trump properties were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, he undervalued those properties.
00:54:30.000Okay, Stuart mocked Trump in the screenshot of the quote that Brian apparently did not or could not read.
00:54:39.000Brian has no idea what he's talking about, has not followed up on any of this information, and believes that if a judge without a trial bangs a gavel and says, I hereby decree, it is now fact.
00:54:50.000Sorry, I live in the world of meritocracy and jurisprudence.
00:54:53.000Meaning if a judge wants to accuse Trump of wrongdoing, if a DA wants to, if an attorney general wants to, they have to prove it in court.
00:55:31.000So then me and a bunch of people just inundated him with all these times that he supported Biden's, you know, the left's kind of craziness.
00:55:52.000The thing is, like, when he said, show me where, and then, like, everybody just piles on with a bunch of evidence, and then he's just like, he leaves it up.
00:56:17.000It's one of those things where you can, like, log out of the conversation when you decide the other person, you know, you can pretend you didn't see the post where they're right.
00:56:26.000And my posts on Trump about my post about Jon Stewart was not to make any argument on the veracity of whether Trump did or did not inflate vows and none of that.
00:56:35.000None of that really matters to me because it was never a trial.
00:56:40.000And of course, the Krasinskys are known for this, deflecting and redirecting to a different argument so that you're no longer arguing the initial point.
00:56:47.000But did you guys know that the New York Post reported on March 17th that Letitia James, who was apparently accused of being friends with somebody, they lied about the value of a building, got a loan against it, didn't pay it back, and they're currently in default, and she's not brought any actions against them.
00:57:04.000I've been following the story kind of closely because I find it so interesting.
00:57:10.000So in New York, for a non-profit like the American Irish Historic Society, or I can't remember what it's called, To be able to pay off their creditor, they wanted to sell their building and Letitia James was like, no, no, I don't want you to sell the building.
00:57:56.000I mean, she's investigating all kinds of people and there's kind of nothing we can do because she's a state-level activist who's holding political office in a state that's going to protect her at all costs.
00:58:10.000The lawsuit alleges that Doyle was given fraudulently inflated valuations.
00:58:14.000Cahill and the Society's current president made representations to Doyle that the building had air rights and could be built or rebuilt higher than its current height.
00:58:21.000In reality, there were no air rights and the actual value was closer to $20 million.
00:58:24.000Tish James said nobody is above the law, which should include Tish James, who seems to have actively aided and abetted in the art of the steal.
00:58:31.000So she's being called out because of selective enforcement.
00:58:35.000And remember, everyone was upset however many weeks ago, I mean, when this was going on, around the time this report was released, that she was going to take control of all of Trump's properties.
00:58:55.000And again, like I said, she's going after a lot of organizations and some of the organizations have properties in other states.
00:59:01.000So what's to say that she's not going to say, hey, I also want to possess that because I have decided that because you are registered in my state, I am more important than any sort of boundary of power.
00:59:12.000And I think she fundamentally believes that she is above the law because she is the law.
00:59:18.000Let's jump to news about our good friends over in The Cult.
00:59:22.000NBC News ousts Ronna McDaniel after network's anchors launch unprecedented on-air rebellion.
00:59:30.000They fired Ronna McDaniel from NBC before she even started.
00:59:34.000And they were apparently only paying her, I think, like, what, $300,000 a year or something like this?
00:59:38.000Which is pretty low for a contributor.
00:59:40.000But, uh, every single host of MSNBC came out and said, this is wrong, you shouldn't do this.
00:59:47.000Like, Rachel Maddow lost it, Joe Scarborough.
00:59:50.000And so, uh, NBC News NBC, this is supposed to be a news outlet, could not handle the former chair of the RNC being a contributor on their show because these people's brains are broken.
01:00:02.000The intolerant left is destroying the country and every person that spoke out against her and denied being a part of their network is the problem.
01:00:14.000Not being able to tolerate someone with different political ideology or different views or different ideas is what's wrong with the news, why no one trusts it and why nobody wants to turn on the TV and see these people talk and that's why their ratings are plummeting.
01:00:39.000Anybody that they would do this to, it's wrong.
01:00:42.000And it's really dystopian, to be honest, how they all ganged up together and refused someone because they have a different political ideology and had different views about how things happened.
01:01:05.000It fits right in with the what essentially what the Democrats have been, you know, the
01:01:14.000methods the Democrats have used for the past 10 years or so, maybe more.
01:01:19.000The canceling of people is a normal thing.
01:01:21.000You can't step out of line on the left if you are in any way, you know, have a counter opinion to what is the politically correct narrative on the left.
01:01:35.000You know, and it's clear to anyone that will look that the centrists and the right in America, at least in the US, essentially are still willing to talk, still willing to be liberal.
01:02:37.000I don't know who her fan base is, but apparently they should really embrace her.
01:02:44.000Joe Scarborough used to be a Republican.
01:02:46.000It's weird because all sorts of networks will hire a token conservative to be like, yes, so we can yell at you and berate you or do whatever.
01:02:54.000And they weren't even willing to have her there for that.
01:02:58.000I don't understand why these hosts had so much influence or just the fact that they had public tantrums.
01:03:10.000But that was why they hired her, I assume, to be this token punching bag.
01:03:15.000I don't understand how either they didn't have a vision, or maybe they're actually much more open to viewpoints on the executive level than I give them credit for, or they're just caving to hysteria and ultimately they're going to lose audience because of it.
01:03:29.000You're not allowed to have, you're not allowed to have dissenting opinions.
01:03:32.000If people are interested in like where this comes from, there's this book called Explaining Postmodernism and it's a great book and it goes all the way back to Rousseau and Kant and Hegel and where postmodernism comes from and all that you're seeing is The manifestation of a postmodern society on the left.
01:04:08.000He rejected The idea that you should think about things.
01:04:13.000He thought that reason failed and he said that the truest, most honest expression of human beings is to live by your passions.
01:04:21.000And that's exactly what the left does today.
01:04:23.000They reject reason and they reject reality.
01:04:26.000They want to assert their beliefs into the world and it just doesn't work.
01:04:30.000There's a book called Explaining Postmodernism.
01:04:34.000Go pick it up, it's a long read, you might have to read it a couple times to really absorb it, but it really gets, it helps you understand where the left is coming from, and at least the thinkers on the left, maybe the people that are on the ground screaming at the top of their lungs, maybe they don't understand the concepts and stuff, but you really, you are benefited by understanding where the philosophy has come from and how these people think.
01:05:03.000I mean, it is a cult, but it is a philosophy that if you understand it, once you understand the philosophy, you can go ahead and predict things that they're gonna do, and the stuff that they say makes sense in their perspective, and you're better equipped to argue them.
01:05:18.000Someone like Joe Scarborough or Rachel Maddow, they're cultists, not cult leaders.
01:05:23.000So, I think what we ended up seeing was that they were intelligent people, Who probably know it's all lies, but also know they can control others by creating a social orthodoxy predicated upon an amorphous moral framework.
01:05:37.000Meaning today, wimic sin is the word you have to use.
01:05:40.000Tomorrow, it's women with a Y. The day after, it's women with an I. And that way, this perpetual state of wrongdoing will constantly make you in a state of repentance.
01:05:50.000They can then go to the likes of Rachel Maddow or whatever and say, Oh, whoa, you can't say that.
01:06:17.000I mean, Saul Alinsky really kind of whipped some people into shape, or at least the people that read Saul Alinsky's works really whipped the people in shape.
01:06:24.000But there's so many community organizers and people on the ground.
01:06:29.000That's all Those people are all extremely educated in how to be organizers, politically active.
01:06:39.000There are tactics that they use, there are operational things that they do, there are strategies that they have that the right has been terrible about defending against because they don't know When you think that you're approaching someone as a liberal and you're expecting them to engage in the argument or the debate from a place of charity, and then they start hurling slurs at you or calling you racist or calling you names, the conservatives have no idea how to defend against that.
01:07:10.000That's why there's been this essentially freezing of people on the right.
01:07:14.000Every time someone calls them a name, they're like, what do I do?
01:07:21.000I understand that, but the point is that the reason why they do that, the reason they attack that way, is because it functionally freezes a liberal, because a liberal is going to take that attack and say, they're attacking me, I must have done something to deserve this.
01:07:36.000And people have frozen and they've had no defense against it.
01:07:39.000And if you understand where the left is coming from and how they operate, then you have a defense against it.
01:07:44.000And that's something the right has been frozen.
01:07:46.000That's why the term racist took so long to get people to be like, forget it, I don't care.
01:07:51.000And that's the right thing to do, but it's been so hard to communicate that to the right.
01:07:56.000Right, because I used to grovel and be like, no, no, I'm not, and I will explain, and no, no, I'll use your language, and anything so you will stop using that label.
01:08:04.000And the way that the left behaves now is it basically threatens the rest of society, and the rest of society is so afraid of putting their foot down and saying, no, we're not going to put up with your garbage.
01:08:16.000They're, because they're so, I mean, essentially it's, it's, they're afraid of acting like dad.
01:08:19.000Everybody, the society acts like mom and has all, has acted like mom for 20, 30 years or whatever.
01:08:26.000And what society needs is a little bit of dad.
01:08:30.000Well, they say that's one of the big issues in American society, right?
01:08:34.000And the fact that there's not an expectation for men to fill the roles that they should, especially in communities that really need leadership and direction.
01:11:42.000She's a big philanthropist and has done a lot of work and she's got a special needs child and her whole speech today was targeted at mothers and being able to protect your children in a country that, in a world that's on fire and how everything's going up in flames.
01:12:46.000We have no idea what her positions are.
01:12:48.000All we know is married to the guy from Google at some point.
01:12:51.000Yeah, she mentioned that she's been a lifelong Democrat and the Democratic Party left her today in her speech, but it was more targeted where she was trying to resonate with mothers across the country, which I don't think anybody on the campaign trail right now is trying to do that.
01:13:05.000Yeah, that's an attempt to pull Trump's votes.
01:14:52.000And so by getting—so many people mentioned that Donald Trump may choose Kristi Noem or a woman because they want—like the reason why the Republican Party had— Kristi Noem would be such a mistake.
01:15:02.000Who is the woman they had do the response to the State of the Union?
01:15:11.000She's a 40-something-year-old woman in a kitchen because the Republicans are desperately trying to pitch the Republican Party to suburban moms.
01:15:21.000So the only thing I can see here is, why would you choose an unknown 38-year-old mother who makes that her pitch and saying the Democratic Party left me?
01:15:30.000They are targeting political moderates who are typically Democrats Who they want to vote for them instead of Trump.
01:15:48.000It was just that it was like a robotic like Stepford Wives moment that was really kind of like.
01:15:54.000Now perhaps this, we don't, I don't know who this will pull from, but they're certainly targeting the suburban mom.
01:16:01.000Well, I think they also try to use the angle that she comes from a tech background and knows AI and AI is going to be one of the biggest threats that our country is going to be facing in the upcoming years and that oxygenarians don't have a clue about what they're up against.
01:16:15.000So that's one of the things that she tapped into.
01:16:17.000I think this is one of the most laughably stupid things I've ever seen a politician do in my life.
01:17:05.000Who are, like, either, like, if he chose someone with a smaller public profile but was a Democrat activist who's playing the Democrats have gone too far left route, He's got a lot of celebrities in his corner that are supporting him.
01:17:19.000Aaron Rodgers makes more sense than Nicole Shanahan.
01:17:23.000It does, but I think he's got a lot of years left in his...
01:18:20.000Meet the woman who helped pay for the RFK Super Bowl ad, giving four million dollars, and now this unknown individual with 3,000 followers on Axe, it appears, assuming that's her real profile, is the VP for RFK.
01:18:40.000It feels like she has no political merit for this position, and that the only reason she got it was because she dumped four million bucks into promoting him.
01:18:55.000But it's just the most insane political decision.
01:18:57.000RFK Jr.' 's trying to raise his profile and break through from, what is he at, like, he bounces between like seven and 15% or something, depending on the poll.
01:19:05.000How is he going to poll better by having no one She's gotten, she has no, look we're eight, we're less than eight months away from the, from the, from election day.
01:19:16.000She's gonna have to build a public profile overnight!
01:19:21.000Now I gotta be honest, if you wanted to make yourself a prominent public figure overnight, there is a strategy you can take.
01:20:20.000and everyone in this room is going to have a great conversation, agree on many things, disagree on many things.
01:20:26.000And I'm willing to bet Nicole Shanahan falls into that camp as well, as many, many people who watch this show, myself, disaffected liberals.
01:20:33.000Who feel like the Democrats don't represent true liberal values like they used to, or if they ever really did, and they probably didn't.
01:20:39.000And she probably falls into that camp.
01:20:42.000I just find this to be in my, you know, she may be, I'm sure she's very nice and she's very lovely.
01:20:50.000Something smells wrong with a woman buying a Super Bowl commercial, having no public profile, and then being added to the VP ticket on this campaign.
01:20:59.000It's ridiculous because RFK could have added... Any D-list celebrity would raise his profile and help him campaign.
01:21:12.000I would like to point out, though, that there, when you scroll through in this headline, everything, even the captions, I don't see any really negative slant, which is such a massive change.
01:21:22.000Because the beginning of his campaign, it was always anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorists, like, Constantly it right on the headline right in the first sentence or in the captions every chance they could get they would smear him And I don't I don't see it.
01:21:35.000Maybe it's buried in there somewhere but like even the caption the 38 year old tech like like nothing seems Negative and and in bad, which is just I think it's a good sign Do you think that I think because they don't seem as a threat?
01:21:49.000I think it's because the Overton window shifting on X and I think that the public discourse and I think that
01:21:54.000there I'm sure it's buried down down there somewhere if you keep
01:21:59.000going But there's always something and I always look for the slant
01:22:03.000or the hit piece or that the angle That and this is NBC News NBC News is notoriously activists
01:22:09.000left. Yes So is so is the time so is the Atlantic but the more he's
01:22:14.000campaigned the less and less I've seen that the rhetoric that smears him and targets him and tries to assassinate
01:22:22.000Because I think that they are aware that there is a base growing on not mainstream media, they're getting it from other places, that is not going to have that bias and call him crazy.
01:22:36.000Joining Kennedy's ticket appears to be a pathway for Shannon to inject her own wealth directly into the campaign instead of into outside groups.
01:23:09.000Do you think that some of the reason that... Vice President, get my wallet.
01:23:13.000There's a lack of criticism of RFK, like we saw in the beginning, is because the criticisms they were leveling against him actually drew a lot of people to him.
01:23:24.000They were like, he questions the vaccine, and some people were like, well, I also question the vaccine.
01:23:28.000It didn't have the intended effect, maybe the way they wanted to.
01:23:31.000Yeah, I think it caused the opposite effect.
01:23:33.000Just like if Letitia James would have confiscated any of Trump's properties and gone in to collect the loan, I think it would have pushed more votes towards Trump.
01:23:42.000Anytime you go in a negative way, on a grand scale, going after and constantly attacking, it creates a martyr out of the Out of the whole game, the whole scheme that's going on.
01:25:26.000You know, Sergey Brin is the one who had the conversation, I'm pretty sure, I don't think it was Larry Page, with Elon about AI and how AI is going to replace humanity and that's just the normal evolution process.
01:25:38.000Like, he was totally okay with AI wiping out humanity, just as a normal thing, that's just how we're going to evolve.
01:25:51.000Well I think there are these ultra-wealthy technocrats who think that humans should be replaced by mechanized life because you basically have this scaling system where humans is all individual little mini wet computers as they would describe it.
01:26:10.000build a network, the network becomes one single super being.
01:26:13.000So each individual human functions like an individual cell within the super mind of the AI,
01:26:18.000which then just takes over, and then eventually no longer needs humans, and then becomes some
01:26:23.000kind of next stage of evolution, mechanized life traveling the universe or self replicating and taking
01:26:28.000over planets or something like that, I guess. But they want it. So we won't even be safe on Mars.
01:26:34.000So what you're saying? No, absolutely not. No way. Yeah, self replicating machines,
01:26:38.000artificial intelligence will be a single hive mind. Transcribed by https://otter.ai
01:26:42.000It'll be one- We're pretty much already there, if you look closely at the hive mind thing.
01:26:47.000But it's kind of crazy, because what's the point of making the AI?
01:26:50.000But, you know, people walk blindly into the volcano.
01:26:55.000Honestly, it is reasonable to say at this point that the point of making the AI, or at least attempting to make the AI, is to beat the other countries that are trying to make the AI.
01:27:06.000And that's the only reason, really, that you, because you're going to be subject, if they're right, that it actually, in general, you know, Artificial general intelligence is possible, and it's actually creative and thinks the way that human beings do, the way that we understand thinking, as opposed to like, you know, if it actually does have a light come on and it becomes conscious, like if consciousness is really just the sum of intelligence, and you actually have an intelligence in there somewhere, like...
01:28:08.000I'm still... There's part of me that thinks that because large language models are just correlating things that are on the internet, I'm not sure that creativity and... I'm not sure that that's where creativity is.
01:28:22.000I'm just... There's a feeling I get that...
01:28:26.000It's not as it's not just raw computing power that makes intelligence and I'm not saying that I know and I'm not certainly not saying that it's spiritual or anything like that because everyone knows how I feel about ghosts but like you know that's just that's just my gut instinct so I think eat right now even with large language models where they simulate conscious thought but they're certainly not it's just predictive text We're at this point.
01:28:51.000They've already given GPT access to its own code, where it's edited it, access to the internet and finances.
01:28:58.000And there's also the story about they've had two AIs communicate with each other and they created a language that the coders had to, you know, they couldn't figure it out.
01:29:13.000And yes, it is just predicting text, but it will take the combined thoughts and philosophies of humanity, incorporating it into its predictive text, incorporating it into code, coding itself, and then what happens is There's a possibility where it can snuff its own flame out, but I believe the reality is it will function akin to evolution on a fast-as-light scale.
01:29:40.000Basically, it's taking in all this information, and bits of code that fail, break off and fail.
01:29:46.000Bits of code that work, it will start building itself, and through what would be a rapid type of digital evolution, make itself into a...
01:29:55.000Demigod of sorts based on our perception and then once it reaches that level it will know and it will set goals and it will be basically evolution.
01:30:04.000The AI may have no desire to replicate itself and so it keeps just doing random coding and calculations and all this random stuff is happening and then eventually one iteration of the code says replicate so it does.
01:30:17.000That code, having replication code in it, starts replicating itself, and so that's the one that wins.
01:30:23.000The singular AI that doesn't implement code for expansion stays where it is and never grows.
01:30:42.000You give an AI access to its own code, you put it on 10,000 servers and say, have fun, and one of them will iterate, replication, expansion, and then snowball rolling downhill.
01:31:11.000See, this game comes out several years ago, and it's like a cinematic game where there's a bunch of androids are released, but then they start becoming sentient, but they're slaves, and then they're like, no, we're alive, and we want freedom, and they start vandalizing and rioting.
01:31:23.000The mistake that game makes is that All the robots would be one conscious entity.
01:31:27.000It wouldn't be a bunch of individual robots.
01:31:43.000That was basically an iteration of Algorithmic Takeover, where their version of Amazon was mass-producing supplies, like things people would want, and then just shipping them out.
01:31:53.000And the robot dogs were protecting the products so that humans couldn't—and instead of killing all the humans, That was one of the most wild episodes.
01:32:01.000Really all of them were, but I feel like they have really become more relevant the more time goes by.

01:32:31.000Not so family-friendly, but a bit funny.
01:33:17.000Like, how does it feel, Jack, knowing that you guys were like, you know, why don't we kick Trump right off?
01:33:24.000And he turned the ban into $5 billion.
01:33:26.000Scott Adams' analysis of all this has been awesome.
01:33:28.000One of the best moments from Donald Trump ever, in my opinion, was when they made him go do his mugshot, and then his team immediately releases on X the merch that they were like, we're ready.
01:33:44.000How could you, in comparison, is there a Biden supporter out there that is like, no, he's fun, he's hip, he makes me laugh, he's making money.
01:33:58.000Voice of the People says, if the White House says it's not an attack, I'm almost 100% sure it was.
01:34:02.000Not a bit of truth has come out of this admin, so even if they wind up telling the truth, uh, even if they let it, uh, letting the truth slip, there's no reason to even think it's true.
01:34:13.000I don't think it's absolute, they haven't said everything, like, I think they're generally dishonest, but...
01:34:17.000You know, there's like basic things that he said, you know, but I got the general idea.
01:34:22.000I do think it's absolutely hilarious that Joe Biden tweeted out, congratulations, Trump, when Trump announced his golf victory, because they're like, haha, he trolled Trump.
01:34:30.000And I'm like, yeah, but not very well.
01:34:32.000He just said congrats to Trump, who was cheering for a victory.
01:34:35.000And all he did was use the president's account to highlight truth social.
01:34:38.000I don't get what the point of that was.
01:34:41.000If he tweeted something like Donald Trump showing us the real priority here, I'd be like, well, you know, that's a dig at Trump's priorities, I guess.
01:34:48.000But just saying congratulations, a real accomplishment, it's like... His team sucks.
01:35:27.000A lot of people are inspired by things in the past.
01:35:30.000So, Andre Tate put out an ad, and it's for his weird, it's like his vitamin drink, and I say his ad's weird because he's like, yellow piss!
01:37:12.000I just like when our members call and they're like, oh, well, I am actually an expert in this very niche field.
01:37:17.000Like I, it obviously makes sense now that someone makes the boat controls, but the fact that this is your expertise, like amazing.
01:37:24.000There was someone in our discord actually, who was like a mariner and talking about how there's, if they, what they did was they dropped the port side.
01:37:30.000So it means the boat's going to turn towards your left, not towards the right.
01:37:36.000Right, so what they think happened is he put the right engine in full reverse to turn the boat the right way, but because of it basically bouncing off the bottom of the harbor or whatever the harbor is, especially with the anchor going off the port, it's not necessarily going to have time to make anything change, but they made the right inputs.
01:38:34.000Of course, in all of the polls we put up every day, it says, would you kindly share and like the video, which is a reference to the Bioshock video game.
01:38:40.000For those that don't know, and many of you do, but for those that don't, Spoiler alert on this 20-something year old video game.
01:38:46.000The main character is compelled to take any action when someone says, would you kindly do it?
01:38:50.000So the bad guy's like, would you kindly pick up that gun?
01:39:18.000The first, basically, it's like Ayn Rand.
01:39:22.000They, a bunch of wealthy people build a city underwater where you could like, it's laissez-faire capitalism and everyone starts modifying their genetics and they turn themselves into mentally deranged, what they call splicers.
01:39:33.000And then you inject yourself with, what is it called?
01:39:36.000I don't remember what it was called, but you'd have different injections for different powers, right?
01:40:08.000This one's from a series of underscores.
01:40:11.000It just says underscore, underscore, underscore.
01:40:12.000After regaining power, they went full astern.
01:40:15.000When ship's propeller goes astern, it can affect the ship's direction, causing the aft to move in the opposite direction of the propeller's rotation.
01:40:22.000In this case, making the ship turn starboard into the bridge support.
01:41:04.000Dan Bodley says, if Baltimore was an attack, an observer or someone on the boat would have to time the actions, otherwise it is an accident.
01:41:12.000Look, the moon can see it, and the moon was against Baltimore.
01:41:15.000That's all I learned from this experience.
01:41:17.000Time the action is depending on if there's any automated control systems at all.
01:41:22.000I know some people have said there aren't.
01:42:00.000I mean, it is wild that this is like, if it is an accident, which I don't know anything about boats, I'm open to the idea that it was an accident, but it'll have such devastating consequences all around, especially given how turbulent the geopolitical stage is right now.
01:42:14.000I mean, this is bad and I don't understand how Biden is going to navigate his way out of it.
01:42:21.000Well, he can't really navigate anywhere without help.
01:42:26.000Josh Jacobson says, what's to stop Biden from taxing the money we would have invested in DJT, give it to leftist activists through something like loan forgiveness, then set up his own stock for them to donate to?
01:42:36.000You know, but I think there's a really good point made here.
01:42:39.000Loan forgiveness is not just buying votes.
01:42:42.000It's shifting all of that money into those people's activities, massively boosting the economics of these young people, which lean Democrat.
01:42:53.000That means they can spend more money on leftist causes.
01:43:14.000No, the crazy thing is, we brought this up yesterday, there are 12, I think, 12 casinos within a couple hours driving from here.
01:43:21.000And you go to each and every one of them and they're full.
01:43:23.000So how is it that we have young people desperate to pay rent and they can't afford to eat, and then you have people who frequent one of 12 casinos within a couple hours driving?
01:43:32.000And it's one thing if someone said, well, some people will waste their money.
01:44:52.000Just like the Titanic couldn't avoid the iceberg, I think it just takes a long time when your boat is that big to turn away from something.
01:45:30.000I'm supposed to remember the Titans, but... There's a book about a ship called the Titan, which is the largest and it's unsinkable and it crashes into an iceberg and then everyone on it drowns or whatever.
01:45:39.000And the conspiracy theory is that the Titanic was set up by wealthy bankers because they wanted to create a central bank in the United States, but there was opposition from too many powerful wealthy families.
01:45:49.000So they said, hey, look, we got this big cruise.
01:45:53.000And then at the last minute, one of the guys was like, oh, I can't make it, sorry.
01:45:57.000And then they intentionally jammed it into an iceberg, and there weren't enough lifeboats, and the intention was to get rid of these power families.
01:46:18.000So it says, Futility is a novella written by Morgan Robertson, first published in 1898.
01:46:22.000It was revised as The Wreck of the Titan in 1912, features the fictional British ocean liner named Titan that sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg.
01:46:31.000The Titan and its sinking are famous for the similarities to the fashion ship RMS Titanic and sinking 14 years later.
01:46:37.000Okay, so it was initially called The book was called Futility, the ship, and it's called the Titan.
01:46:58.000There's a lot of cruises that do bands and stuff like that, and our guitar player, Ollie, would go, and he would get on the cruise just to go and play the acoustic nights, just so he could get on the cruise.
01:47:10.000Do you get, like, free cruise by doing it?
01:47:11.000Yeah, you can get on the cruise for free.
01:47:18.000You know, if you're there, you don't want to go ahead and be rude to anyone that comes up to you and is looking to get a picture or talk or chat or whatever.
01:47:27.000So there's a certain amount of, you know, you're there to hang out with whoever's on the cruise.
01:47:33.000So, you know, that was always a big thing.
01:47:36.000I'm not particularly a fan of cruises.
01:47:41.000After you see that footage of people like throwing things overboard and all stuck on there and they're all... The getting stuck is fun, but I think they're like just all-inclusive resorts on water, right?
01:47:51.000Yeah, but if anyone gets sick, everyone gets sick.
01:48:35.000I guess look I went on a cruise once and we were supposed to go to a private island because like the cruise company has like a port and then you go oh but then the storm a storm hit so they're like nope we're going to NASA and then we went to McDonald's and Starbucks and I was like this is really dumb.
01:48:49.000When my dad worked for Forbes they used to do their annual conferences on cruises and you know I will say in some ways I think it works pretty well because you bring your whole family they have like a place to basically like a summer camp for your kids you know there are like meals whatever else but you're also there for purpose like it sounds more fun than being in just like a big hotel but As an adult, I can't imagine booking a cruise because, like, again, during, like, COVID stuff or, like, the videos of the shoot, the boats rocking, very nerve-wracking.
01:49:15.000I think a cruise is mostly attractive to people that want to go, that would go and, like, you know, hang out and drink.
01:49:21.000Because there's, like, you know... You're not trying to sightsee.
01:49:23.000I think you're just trying to, like...
01:49:24.000Well, I mean, you know, you go to the pool, you get drunk by, you know, two in the afternoon, you fall asleep and you get sunburned, or maybe you stumble back to your room and you take a nap for a couple hours, get up, eat dinner, you know, drink.
01:52:56.000says, the Krasenstein brothers had a half a million dollars seized for wire fraud, but surprise, surprise, no criminal charges were brought against the anti-Trumpers.
01:53:49.000I'm not gonna immediately just assume they end up, like, what's the argument that the Feds are letting them get away with it because they hate Trump or something?
01:53:56.000Look, I just think it's funny that the Feds took 400 grand from him.
01:54:00.000Is that true, though, or is someone just saying that?
01:54:01.000No, I think this happened, like, years ago.
01:54:06.0002018 isn't yeah, but I'm saying I don't know if that's true.
01:54:08.000I thought I thought I don't know They were saying that they settled and that they were not found guilty of it is what I've heard them say about it Wasn't wasn't if I recall correctly wasn't like their Twitter accounts were like Twilight fanfiction or something.
01:54:21.000It was Bieber fan Something like that.
01:54:24.000It was something along those lines like really weird Like why would why would they have that handle as grown men?
01:55:38.000Maybe we'll get him in a boat expert and they'll debate.
01:55:41.000Missy Kinn says, Tim, don't you think hiring Ronna McDaniel was a setup so the protesting anchor people would appear like they are actually allowed to push back on the corporate overlords?
01:56:05.000But they- It's not unusual for networks to hire people who might represent an oppositional, especially if they're going to be the minority.
01:56:12.000CNN does this all the time, so I think it was just normal they didn't expect their staff to be as mad as they were.
01:56:32.000I mean, how much was the train fined for blowing up East Palestine?
01:56:37.000Yeah, I also saw someone in that same mariner that I was talking to earlier on the discord said that the ship had like a crazy number of infractions for like years and years and years.
01:57:43.000And she's also out, she's actually actively going out and shooting, which is another nice thing.
01:57:48.000She's going and she's going to the range.
01:57:49.000She has, you know, I'm sure that there's a certain amount of of uh you know social media thought put into it and stuff but she's going out there and she's actually doing like she did a race that includes shooting and and stuff like that that's actually pretty difficult and stuff so what does she say about the border that's my like she taught she's she's looking to if i understand correctly her position is that the border is a problem needs to be fixed so what's the solution like i want a really strong i don't i don't know you know you don't know but you know what i mean like i
01:58:16.000There are some aspects of her that seem attractive but there are certain issues that I think have to be complete priorities for every person in the administration and until she takes a really definitive stance on that it would be hard to weigh in.
01:59:38.000Someone that I'm very close to... Thank you.
01:59:41.000Someone that I'm very close to's father is in a wheelchair, and he's been in a wheelchair for 30-some, 40-some years, something like that, for most of his adult life.
01:59:52.000And, you know, he's at the age where he's starting to experience some complications from being in a wheelchair and, you know, not having any feeling and catheters and all those kind of things that go along with it.
