Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - White House Says Baltimore Bridge Collapse NOT AN ATTACK, ITS NOT WW3 w-Texas Lindsay | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 Okay.

00:00:08.000 The Baltimore bridge collapse.

00:00:10.000 I'm sure most of you heard what happened.

00:00:12.000 This is massive news.

00:00:14.000 One 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.

00:00:30.000 Now, rumors are flying.

00:00:32.000 Speculation that it was related to diversity hires who don't know how to drive.

00:00:37.000 Maybe, but I don't know.

00:00:40.000 Unless we get some evidence on that one, I don't know.

00:00:42.000 Many 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.

00:01:03.000 So maybe not.

00:01:04.000 Maybe, maybe not.

00:01:05.000 The White House is saying it was not terror, there's no indication it was intentional.

00:01:08.000 But of course, rumors and speculation still flies.

00:01:12.000 And I just gotta tell ya, I believe the initial hypothesis should be malintent.

00:01:18.000 Not accident.

00:01:19.000 We should be investigating malintent because if it was an accident, accidents happen.

00:01:22.000 And we don't really have to do much if it was an accident other than You know, clean things up and make sure it doesn't happen again.

00:01:27.000 But either way, this is going to have massive economic implications for the rest of the country.

00:01:30.000 Already shipments are being delayed.

00:01:32.000 People are being told their energy and imports won't be arriving for obvious reasons.

00:01:36.000 They'll have to divert those shipments.

00:01:38.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:01:38.000 Plus, Donald Trump just got a billion dollars richer and the wall got 10 feet higher.

00:01:43.000 DJT stocks are live and they spiked at around 75, no, I think $79 today, dropped back down to about 59.

00:01:50.000 And you got these people coming out being like, don't buy it, don't buy it.

00:01:53.000 I'm warning you, stay away.

00:01:55.000 I gotta tell you, you know, this is on the five on Fox News, they're debating the value of the stock.

00:02:00.000 And I'm like, it's not the stock that people are buying.

00:02:02.000 It's shares of Trump himself.

00:02:05.000 He is truth social.

00:02:06.000 You want to follow him.

00:02:07.000 He is creating shares in him as a personality.

00:02:10.000 And I think Trump supporters are going to drive that stock to the moon because they want to hold a piece of it.

00:02:14.000 It supports Donald Trump.

00:02:16.000 They can retain that piece.

00:02:18.000 And 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.

00:02:24.000 So we'll talk about that plus a bunch of other stuff.

00:02:26.000 Jon 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.

00:02:36.000 The funny thing about that is tax assessment for buildings is done by the city, not by the individual.

00:02:41.000 So Jon Stewart clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

00:02:43.000 But I found the receipts.

00:02:45.000 Jon Stewart sold a property in New York in 2014 for $17.5 million, despite the fact the assessed value was $1.8.

00:02:53.000 And Jon Stewart knew that this property was worth way more, but only paid taxes on $740,000.

00:02:59.000 Now, something's not right there, Jon.

00:03:02.000 We'll talk about that, the hypocrisy, and Letitia James.

00:04:39.000 What do you do?

00:04:41.000 Well, my real name is Lindsey Jones.

00:04:43.000 I 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.

00:04:55.000 It's because Your name is Lindsay Jones.

00:04:58.000 It's like the female John Smith. 0.99

00:04:59.000 So I had to pick something a little bit unique.

00:05:01.000 And that's what I went with.

00:05:03.000 But I am a journalist.

00:05:05.000 I helped with the Twitter files.

00:05:06.000 And now I'm doing freelance work for the non-satirical side of the Babylon Bee for the Not The Bee outlet.

00:05:12.000 Right on.

00:05:13.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:05:13.000 Should be fun.

00:05:14.000 We got Phil hanging out.

00:05:15.000 Hello, everybody.

00:05:16.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:05:17.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains, anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:05:21.000 What's going on?

00:05:22.000 Hi, Phil!

00:05:23.000 How you doing?

00:05:24.000 I'm Hannah Glick-Rimlow.

00:05:25.000 I'm a writer for scnr.com.

00:05:27.000 I'm happy to be back tonight.

00:05:28.000 Serge is here, too.

00:05:30.000 I am here.

00:05:31.000 What's up, y'all?

00:05:31.000 Let's start the show!

00:05:34.000 Alright, here's the first story.

00:05:36.000 For those who missed it, I assume most of you know this, but we have this video right here.

00:05:40.000 The 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.

00:05:50.000 Six construction workers are presumed dead.

00:05:53.000 Rescue efforts have been called off.

00:05:55.000 This is breaking news.

00:05:56.000 The big question is, how does this happen?

00:05:59.000 So here you can see aerial footage from the morning.

00:06:03.000 Let's play this video real quick to give you a step-by-step.

00:06:06.000 You can see it.

00:06:07.000 It's actually kind of small.

00:06:08.000 I don't know if it's... Here you go.

00:06:10.000 You'll notice... I'll pause the video.

00:06:12.000 Actually, I can't pause the video, but keep an eye on the ship.

00:06:13.000 You see the lights actually turned off already.

00:06:15.000 They turned back on.

00:06:16.000 And now the lights on the ship are going to shut off again.

00:06:19.000 There's a lot of speculation about why this ship... There you go.

00:06:23.000 Lights go off.

00:06:25.000 Heading straight for the central support.

00:06:27.000 You can see all the cars.

00:06:28.000 That appears to be some kind of tractor-trailer driving across right now.

00:06:32.000 This was around 1.30 in the morning today.

00:06:36.000 And that truck driver right there, very lucky.

00:06:39.000 You can see these work vehicles, not so lucky.

00:06:41.000 And we're a few seconds out before this thing finally slams.

00:06:45.000 And you can see the lights have turned back on.

00:06:48.000 It sideswipes the support column, knocking the entire bridge to the ground.

00:06:53.000 Now here are a few more cars passing across.

00:06:55.000 I do think that these cars make it safely across.

00:06:57.000 I'm not sure.

00:06:58.000 It's hard to know if they make it through.

00:07:01.000 Let's see.

00:07:01.000 Yeah, okay, so I'm pretty sure when it came to who fell, it was the construction workers.

00:07:07.000 So, uh, big vessel, forced perspective.

00:07:11.000 We're watching very slowly, this replay footage.

00:07:14.000 So... Any second now.

00:07:21.000 And there it goes.

00:07:22.000 It is sideswiping.

00:07:23.000 There it is.

00:07:24.000 So for those that are just listening, we're just watching this bridge collapse.

00:07:27.000 This is crazy.

00:07:28.000 This has just created an artificial barrier into Baltimore's port, one of the largest ports in the country, affecting trade massively.

00:07:39.000 Now, 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.

00:07:52.000 The question is, as the White House says, it's not terrorism, and there's no indication it was intentional.

00:07:58.000 How does an accident like this happen?

00:08:00.000 Well, according to the Postmillennial, the ship that struck the bridge was involved in 2016 crash and had deficiencies.

00:08:07.000 Perhaps that's the reason.

00:08:09.000 I 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.

00:08:19.000 And it would not be a very difficult thing to do.

00:08:22.000 There have been numerous researchers who have published studies on the security of these large container vessels and how to manipulate them.

00:08:29.000 It's entirely possible.

00:08:30.000 I'd say, you know, simple solution is, you know, these these crashes happen.

00:08:34.000 They've happened in the past.

00:08:34.000 They'll happen again.

00:08:35.000 So maybe that's it.

00:08:37.000 But considering we're in active war, as much as they might, they don't want to admit it.

00:08:40.000 And this wasn't just a crash.

00:08:43.000 This shuts down one of our largest ports.

00:08:45.000 I 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.

00:08:53.000 I 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.

00:09:19.000 I 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.

00:09:28.000 So I'm sure that there are people looking to see if there was a cyber attack.

00:09:33.000 As 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.

00:09:41.000 Fast.

00:09:41.000 Well, that means one of our major ports is, is shuttered.

00:09:44.000 That's the biggest part.

00:09:45.000 In my opinion, that's the biggest thing that's going on is the effect on the economy.

00:09:49.000 The 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.

00:09:58.000 That's going to, that's going to be a, it's going to have a big, big effect downstream for, for the economy.

00:10:03.000 So we have this from the Baltimore banner.

00:10:05.000 They say, no, it's not world war three experts say bridge collapse, almost certainly not planned attack.

00:10:11.000 Almost certainly not.

00:10:11.000 And here's what I love.

00:10:13.000 Here's what I love.

00:10:13.000 It'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.

00:10:24.000 Okay, I just love this.

00:10:27.000 As soon as I saw this, I was like, okay, now I think it's a cyber attack.

00:10:30.000 Because Alex Jones saying, this looks like it could have been a cyber attack.

00:10:33.000 And they go, that's a fake tweet.

00:10:35.000 No, it's not.

00:10:35.000 It's his opinion on what he thinks may have happened.

00:10:39.000 Just 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.

00:10:47.000 My opinion is I don't trust the government and maybe it was a cyber attack.

00:10:50.000 How is it a fake opinion?

00:10:51.000 It's a real opinion.

00:10:52.000 It could be wrong.

00:10:52.000 The concept of cyber attack, you're not saying that like the United States government attacked.

00:10:58.000 It's like there are constantly cyber attacks, like all the time.

00:11:01.000 And it's like what you would consider friendly nations testing other friendly nations.

00:11:07.000 The idea of cyber espionage in the corporate world, that isn't far-fetched.

00:11:13.000 That's common.

00:11:14.000 It happens every chance that a company gets.

00:11:17.000 Like my ex-wife works in cybersecurity for a Shout out to Phil's ex-wife. 0.97

00:11:22.000 No.

00:11:23.000 Please don't do that.

00:11:27.000 Maybe.

00:11:28.000 Anyways.

00:11:29.000 But the point is, there is a whole field of cyber security in the corporate world.

00:11:35.000 So the idea that it couldn't be a cyber attack...

00:11:39.000 By a state or whatever?

00:11:41.000 The idea that it couldn't be is the actual far-fetched idea.

00:11:44.000 And the ship had flags from Singapore, right?

00:11:47.000 So it's not like... I don't know.

00:11:50.000 I feel like this could be a complicated geopolitical situation.

00:11:54.000 Why would we rule anything out?

00:11:56.000 At what point...

00:11:57.000 Why do we know so quickly that it wasn't a terror attack?

00:12:00.000 I 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?

00:12:08.000 It's the opposite of what- of what, you know, Alex Jones said.

00:12:12.000 It's the- the- The people that are politically incorrect or whatever are saying it, so we're going to take the opposite.

00:12:19.000 And you saw this happen significantly during COVID.

00:12:22.000 And we still see it.

00:12:23.000 There are still people that walk around wearing masks.

00:12:25.000 And you know that it's not because there's a significant protection that mask is offering.

00:12:31.000 It's because they're making a political statement or an ideological statement.

00:12:34.000 So it's very normal for people to be like, Alex Jones said it. 0.87

00:12:38.000 Oh, he's crazy and he's wrong, blah, blah, blah. 0.72

00:12:41.000 Without 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. 0.52

00:12:58.000 One assessment that I watched says the whole thing goes dark, engines shut down.

00:13:03.000 Then they drop the port side anchor.

00:13:05.000 I don't know if any of this is true.

00:13:07.000 Causing it to steer right into the support column. 0.90

00:13:11.000 Why would they do that?

00:13:13.000 Many people, because of that, are arguing it must be DEI.

00:13:16.000 Because they had a local crew navigating out of the port.

00:13:19.000 That's usually what they do.

00:13:21.000 And then they transport the person off before it heads on its way.

00:13:23.000 I think it was going to Sri Lanka or something.

00:13:25.000 So, the power goes out.

00:13:27.000 So they drop anchor, forcing the ship to go right into the support column.

00:13:32.000 I mean, I don't know anything about steering a big ship like that at all, so.

00:13:37.000 But it does steer right into the comm.

00:13:41.000 So 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.

00:13:51.000 It would have gone straight underneath the bridge and just left.

00:13:54.000 They forced it to shift and steer into the support comm.

00:13:58.000 Why?

00:13:59.000 So maybe cyber attack, you know, uh, I don't know how, uh, affect navigation systems or, uh, somehow negatively impact or sabotage the, uh, electrical systems.

00:14:12.000 I mean, think about it like this, like if the power goes out, it could be that the computers have to boot up.

00:14:18.000 That's what I was wondering.

00:14:19.000 When the lights go out, and again, I don't know anything about boats.

00:14:23.000 I don't know, guys.

00:14:24.000 All I know about boats is if you shoot an American boat, you're done.

00:14:26.000 Right.

00:14:27.000 Boats, crazy stuff.

00:14:28.000 But 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?

00:14:35.000 They have to shut everything down.

00:14:37.000 And in doing so- The generator.

00:14:38.000 The emergency backup generator comes on.

00:14:40.000 So it just takes a minute for that to turn on.

00:14:43.000 So it's not like they're trying to reboot it themselves.

00:14:45.000 It automatically comes on when they lose power.

00:14:48.000 So, 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.

00:15:01.000 this 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.

00:15:12.000 He said, I don't think this was deliberate.

00:15:13.000 So he kind of did his analysis.

00:15:15.000 Then he said, all right, I'm going back to bed and posted that.

00:15:18.000 But it was a good point to factor in all these Hold on, hold on.

00:15:23.000 natural factors that you're not even thinking of when you're looking at it.

00:15:26.000 What did he say about the anchor drop though?

00:15:27.000 This is the only time that someone bringing up the moon and I'm like, maybe that actually

00:15:30.000 does matter, huh?

00:15:31.000 Well, the moon affects the tide.

00:15:32.000 Right, exactly, exactly.

00:15:33.000 Otherwise, I'm just like, oh, is your moon in Gemini or something?

00:15:36.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:15:37.000 Everybody right now, when you're talking to a loved one and they say, oh, it's not a conspiracy,

00:15:42.000 it was an accident, you go, no, it was the moon.

00:15:44.000 The moon did it!

00:15:46.000 I'm telling you!

00:15:46.000 And they'll be like, what?

00:15:47.000 And you'll be like, no, it was the tide.

00:15:48.000 And then they'll go, oh, you're right, it was the moon.

00:15:50.000 It does make me wonder, like, if only we could have a time machine.

00:15:53.000 If 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.

00:16:02.000 If it's always going to be hardline, whatever, you know, this, you know, one side of the debate Right.

00:16:08.000 I just want to know what happened immediately.

00:16:11.000 I just want to know what happened with this anchor, right?

00:16:13.000 So, 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.

00:16:20.000 Well, I came unprepared to IRL.

00:16:21.000 I was not expecting to.

00:16:23.000 I used to sail competitively and I can tell you an anchor dropping does not immediately stop your boat.

00:16:29.000 It's got to catch on to something.

00:16:30.000 It's got to sink.

00:16:31.000 Which is why you see that slow drift, right?

00:16:33.000 I've never been on a boat that size before.

00:16:35.000 But did somebody say it was like three million 80,000 tons?

00:16:37.000 80,000 tons?

00:16:38.000 80,000 tons?

00:16:39.000 I, I, this morning I retweeted a thread by, I don't know who it is, Cyber Gibbons is the

00:16:46.000 name, like, like you would spell it.

00:16:49.000 And I'm retweeting it now and it's a, he goes through what he saw and he does a good layout

00:16:56.000 of how the, how ships that big work, how the, the different voltage on different engines

00:17:03.000 I guess they have to use multiple engines to start the main engine and stuff, but he goes through a big list of it.

00:17:08.000 I just retweeted it.

00:17:08.000 If anyone is interested, you can take a look at it.

00:17:10.000 But it does sound like it, to me, it sounds like, I don't know what caused the power to go out, but once the power was out, it was doomed.

00:17:17.000 As soon as the power went off right in the beginning.

00:17:19.000 Yeah, it was not to slam into a support column.

00:17:21.000 What I'm saying is they couldn't get it back.

00:17:23.000 It was drifting and they didn't have the ability to get control of it.

00:17:26.000 And it's moving at a fast pace because of the weight, too.

00:17:28.000 Yeah, but it's not going to turn.

00:17:30.000 Something turned.

00:17:30.000 Those currents at a harbor are going to be so intense.

00:17:33.000 And that's why you have a harbor pilot that actually drives it.

00:17:36.000 They live there and study that just to make that passage.

00:17:38.000 How is this possible?

00:17:41.000 How is this possible?

00:17:43.000 How 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?

00:17:54.000 How is there no large barrier?

00:17:56.000 And one of the only roadways that allows hazardous materials.

00:18:00.000 You can't take hazardous materials from what I've read today anywhere else that has the tunnels that go through Maryland or Baltimore.

00:18:07.000 They have to take this route.

00:18:08.000 Now they can't.

00:18:10.000 How am I supposed to hear all of this and then think anything other than it was intentional in some way?

00:18:17.000 Who's going to benefit from these routes being deterred?

00:18:19.000 Russia.

00:18:20.000 China.

00:18:21.000 But who was at the helm of the ship?

00:18:24.000 Do you think it was Singaporean?

00:18:25.000 Singaporean?

00:18:26.000 They say it was a local harbor crew, but it's a Singaporean ship.

00:18:31.000 Well, 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.

00:18:40.000 Sure, let's play Occam's Razor then.

00:18:43.000 This 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.

00:18:59.000 In the news already, there are numerous reports of Chinese cyberattacks on the United States.

00:19:03.000 So, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions is, we're at war with Russia.

00:19:09.000 Russia targets a ship.

00:19:13.000 Disables 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.

00:19:35.000 Okay, by all means, that may be the explanation, but the simple solution right now is our port was attacked.

00:19:43.000 By the moon.

00:19:46.000 See, that's the crazy one.

00:19:46.000 It's like, well, you know, the moon was there and the tide was here and the wind was blowing in this direction.

00:19:50.000 Look, man, when it comes to 9-11, we were attacked.

00:19:54.000 That's the simple solution.

00:19:56.000 But they knew immediately that we were attacked, and they knew exactly who did it within hours.

00:20:00.000 Like, that was the craziest thing.

00:20:01.000 So that was, like, all that came out really fast.

00:20:04.000 But it's not come out at all about who was behind this.

00:20:04.000 This is my point.

00:20:06.000 No, no, no, no.

00:20:07.000 Because of politics.

00:20:08.000 My point is, when it came to 9-11, there was no question of pilot error, perfect storm, planes had been veered off course.

00:20:16.000 No, they knew exactly who did it, how they did it, why it was done instantly.

00:20:20.000 So here we are, and they're not the same circumstances, I get it.

00:20:23.000 If there were two boats, I think we'd know.

00:20:23.000 They're very, very different.

00:20:25.000 If there were two bridges and two boats that have been hit, then we would absolutely be in agreement.

00:20:31.000 My point is simply, intentional act makes the least amount of assumptions than the perfect storm of accidents disabling one of our largest ports.

00:20:40.000 It'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!

00:20:52.000 They're not just accused.

00:20:53.000 Victoria Nuland's departure speech bragged about what's going to come and how she had a president for Putin.

00:20:59.000 And then it happened.

00:21:00.000 So perfect, fine.

00:21:01.000 Vladimir Putin comes out.

00:21:02.000 She admitted it and warned and then it happened.

00:21:06.000 Which is completely my point.

00:21:07.000 Vladimir Putin says, you guys attacked us.

00:21:10.000 And so now we have to make a bunch of assumptions.

00:21:12.000 Putin has not retaliated against us.

00:21:15.000 China is not aiding and abetting or taking any concerns here.

00:21:17.000 Venezuela, Iran, North Korea.

00:21:20.000 None of our enemies have any interest right now in targeting ships to disable a bridge.

00:21:26.000 That's an assumption.

00:21:27.000 Maybe the attacks are happening somewhere else.

00:21:28.000 They're attacking our southern border, sending drugs and criminals and stuff.

00:21:33.000 Then this ship lost power at the worst time, dropped anchor, causing it to spin.

00:21:37.000 Then 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.

00:21:46.000 I just think, while both are entirely possible, the simple solution is, we were attacked.

00:21:53.000 Do you think it would be better for Biden if it was an attack, or worse?

00:21:57.000 Because 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.

00:22:02.000 But by admitting that it was an attack, he's admitting that we're weak.

00:22:05.000 You know what I mean?

00:22:06.000 Like, 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.

00:22:14.000 It very well may be just an accident.

00:22:16.000 Totally fine.

00:22:17.000 Accidents do happen.

00:22:19.000 I'm not suggesting I have any evidence that it is a cyber attack.

00:22:21.000 I'm saying it would be simpler to assume it was a cyber attack.

00:22:24.000 Now, as to why the U.S.

00:22:26.000 would deny it, to be completely honest, I can make up 50 million reasons why they would or would not want to deny it.

00:22:31.000 It's just really about whether you think one may be true or not.

00:22:34.000 That 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.

00:22:49.000 So they want to know that they've actually set the board for victory before the hot war kicks off.

00:22:55.000 That 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.

00:23:04.000 If Joe Biden comes out, and this is all hypothetical because there's a million one arguments, this is not the case.

00:23:08.000 I think it's fair.

00:23:08.000 I can make any argument.

00:23:10.000 Joe 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.

00:23:19.000 His approval ratings dropped to one.

00:23:21.000 Instantly, everyone says, you did this, you triggered this.

00:23:25.000 I really don't see a scenario in which Joe Biden comes out and says, we are under attack.

00:23:30.000 And people go, yay, Joe Biden, great leader.

00:23:33.000 No, they say, get him out. 0.93

00:23:35.000 This proves everything we've said about this guy being completely incompetent.

00:23:39.000 Donald Trump goes on TV and says, this could not be tolerated.

00:23:44.000 Our country being attacked.

00:23:45.000 Joe Biden caused this.

00:23:47.000 So there's really good reasons for them to be like, no, no, just an accident.

00:23:50.000 Just an accident.

00:23:50.000 But again, I'll stress.

00:23:53.000 We have no idea.

00:23:53.000 We literally have no idea.

00:23:55.000 It's really just going to be whether you decide to or not.

00:23:57.000 But I will stress, when that article came out and was like, this is a fake tweet.

00:24:01.000 I have the tweet pulled up.

00:24:01.000 Here it is.

00:24:03.000 Alex Jones says, looks deliberate to me.

00:24:05.000 A cyber attack is probable.

00:24:06.000 World War III has already started.

00:24:08.000 Quote tweeting Andrew Tate who said, this ship was cyber attacked.

00:24:12.000 Lights go off and it deliberately steers towards the bridge supports.

00:24:15.000 Foreign agents of the US attacked digital infrastructures.

00:24:19.000 Nothing is safe.

00:24:19.000 Black Swan event imminent.

00:24:21.000 Ron Paul has been warning about a Black Swan event.

00:24:24.000 We've been concerned about the potential for cyber attacks.

00:24:27.000 We 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

00:24:59.000 I just find that really difficult, you know what I mean?

00:25:01.000 I think in this case, both people are wrong.

00:25:03.000 You 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.

00:25:16.000 So the absolute problem is where you have the issue, because yes, it could be a cyber attack.

00:25:22.000 Yes, it could just be an accident.

00:25:23.000 But automatically trying to fact check and shut down and silence what one person says or discredit them and hurt their character for saying something.

00:25:33.000 But he didn't word it right.

00:25:35.000 He doesn't have proof that it was a cyber attack.

00:25:37.000 We have a super chat.

00:25:38.000 Corey Anderson said that he's been in the military for 19 years.

00:25:41.000 He says, if I was a terrorist, I'd take out a tunnel.

00:25:44.000 No, look, I disagree.

00:25:47.000 If you're a terrorist, perhaps, sure, because you're trying to target civilians and disrupt civilian life and morale.

00:25:52.000 If you're a military, if you're a foreign adversary, you're looking at ways to stop an economy.

00:25:58.000 Shutting down a large port is War Tactics 101.

00:26:01.000 The Union forces in the Civil War blockaded southern ports to strangle them out.

00:26:05.000 This is War 101.

00:26:07.000 Disable a port.

00:26:09.000 Well, tunnels should be next.

00:26:10.000 Because 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.

00:26:16.000 They'll go north and around Baltimore.

00:26:18.000 Baltimore, 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.

00:26:27.000 A lot of trucks will probably just divert around Baltimore, adding a lot of friction to the transport process. 0.67

00:26:32.000 81's gonna get crazy.

00:26:34.000 Oh, 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.

00:26:40.000 Plus, uh, there's big shopping areas over there.

00:26:43.000 It's gonna get cluttered, and it's already super cluttered.

00:26:46.000 But there's, look, you could make the argument, Corey, uh, I think it's a fair argument.

00:26:51.000 Yes, they would be targeting tunnels and civilians.

00:26:54.000 Unless they're, unless the goal of a foreign actor is disabling infrastructure, which I mean, I gotta be honest. 0.95

00:27:00.000 Do you want to attack civilians, which rallies public support against you, or could shock a system?

00:27:06.000 I mean, maybe.

00:27:07.000 Or do you want to take out your enemy's ability to drive their car?

00:27:09.000 You know what I mean?

00:27:10.000 It's like, what do you choose to do if you're trying to win a war?

00:27:14.000 Do you scare people, disable the internal routes of a city, or remove the entire opportunity for them to bring trade in?

00:27:23.000 I don't know.

00:27:24.000 Again, I'll stress, I got no idea.

00:27:26.000 I got no idea.

00:27:27.000 It's all wild speculation.

00:27:28.000 But I suppose we'll just, let's see, what do we have?

00:27:33.000 I got a bunch of stories about this.

00:27:34.000 I think we already covered most of it.

00:27:36.000 Engineers raising questions about the support of the bridge, why there were no barriers there.

00:27:42.000 I think that's fairly obvious.

00:27:43.000 So I guess we'll just, we'll jump to the next story.

00:27:47.000 I think we have it here.

00:27:49.000 Let's talk about Donald Trump!

00:27:51.000 Truth social parent company shares skyrocket during market debut triggering trading pause.

00:27:57.000 The jump was so big it opened at $49.95 and quickly jumped to $72 before 10.30am.

00:28:03.000 We have this from Yahoo, it's currently sitting at close at about $58, $57.99.

00:28:06.000 about 58 bucks, $57.99.

00:28:08.000 We saw the peak was around, I believe it was 70, what do we have, $77 or was it a little higher than that?

00:28:14.000 About $77.

00:28:16.000 So currently now sitting just shy of 60 bucks.

00:28:19.000 Looks like Donald Trump just made about another billion dollars.

00:28:23.000 This story, I think, is one of the most important stories in U.S.

00:28:28.000 history.

00:28:29.000 Donald 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.

00:28:40.000 So you can buy shares of Trump's company.

00:28:42.000 I'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.

00:28:49.000 The company, there's no way the stock is worth it.

00:28:52.000 Nobody cares.

00:28:53.000 Trump supporters are buying shares of Donald Trump, and they're not going to sell them.

00:28:57.000 If 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.

00:29:09.000 Meaning, the likelihood, based on the Trump fervor, his support base, is upward trajectory.

00:29:16.000 I don't see why the stock would go down.

00:29:18.000 Trump supporters who are buying it and driving it high aren't the ones who sold.

00:29:22.000 It was probably retail investors who bought into it, decided to cash out.

00:29:27.000 But Trump supporters are buying and holding.

00:29:29.000 This means that Trump can fund his campaign off of this stock.

00:29:32.000 He's made himself one of the wealthiest people, top 500 wealthiest people in the country.

00:29:35.000 I don't know, this is kind of wild.

00:29:38.000 Imagine this, this is actually one of the Krasensteins brought this up, and I am equally concerned about this.

00:29:43.000 Let's say China starts buying a bunch of shares.

00:29:47.000 Driving the price skyrocketing.

00:29:50.000 Trump then sells a bunch of the shares, cashes out a cool billion dollars and funds his campaign off of it.

00:29:55.000 This is going to allow foreign actors to directly support presidential candidates.

00:30:00.000 So I don't know how everyone feels about that.

00:30:01.000 All I know is this is a major historical moment watching this and it's good for Donald Trump.

00:30:08.000 Yeah, I mean, it's definitely good for Donald Trump.

00:30:10.000 There's, you know, the problem of his bail or bond kind of goes away.

00:30:16.000 We've talked about this last night.

00:30:17.000 It should be, in theory, it should be easy to be able to find someone to loan you the money against that kind of stock.

00:30:25.000 You know, that's what Musk did to fund his purchase of X or Twitter or whatever you want to call it.

00:30:32.000 So, you know, it's good for his wallet and He's gonna fund his campaign off it.

00:30:38.000 Yeah, 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.

00:31:00.000 Trump could jaywalk right now and they'd give him jail time for it.

00:31:03.000 They'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!

00:31:10.000 Yeah.

00:31:11.000 I'll give it 30 days for jaywalking.

00:31:13.000 30 days.

00:31:14.000 That'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.

00:31:26.000 It's unprecedented and it's definitely set the tone for the way that people feel about New York entirely. 0.93

00:31:32.000 Look, 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.

00:31:45.000 I 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.

00:32:00.000 I can't imagine what it's like for you know A large company to try to build a building there.

00:32:06.000 It's got to be a nightmare.

00:32:07.000 And 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.

00:32:16.000 You know, Kevin Leary, is it O'Leary or Kevin Leary?

00:32:19.000 O'Leary, I was going to say.

00:32:20.000 Kevin O'Leary, yeah.

00:32:21.000 He is going on a mission right now.

00:32:22.000 Oh, is he doing more?

00:32:24.000 Please tell me more.

00:32:25.000 He'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.

00:32:33.000 You don't do this.

00:32:34.000 This is destroying everything.

00:32:35.000 And he's like, I'm about to go raise $3 billion to build a new data center.

00:32:39.000 He goes, and I won't build it in New York, because nobody will.

00:32:42.000 Everybody keeps asking me all around the world, what is going on in New York?

00:32:45.000 And he's like, well, just trust me, this is not It's normal.

00:32:49.000 It's not the case.

00:32:50.000 He's like, but we've got to do something about this.

00:32:52.000 It's got to be a return.

00:32:52.000 It is making everybody nervous to spend money in this state and city that O'Leary loves, but he will not spend another dime there.

00:33:02.000 It's a bad investment right now.

00:33:04.000 It's horrible.

00:33:05.000 Nobody wants to put that kind of money up with that risk on the line.

00:33:09.000 It's just not worth it.

00:33:09.000 It's scary.

00:33:10.000 Yeah.

00:33:10.000 And 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.

00:33:31.000 It'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.

00:33:50.000 So if there's any kind of risk, the first rule of investing is preserve your capital.

00:33:58.000 So reportedly Truth Social loses 49 million dollars over the same period makes somewhere around three or four million dollars.

00:34:06.000 So the argument plainly from a lot of people is there's no way this stock has anywhere near this value.

00:34:12.000 Especially when you look at other larger companies that generate a healthy profit that don't have a stock value of this high.

00:34:17.000 But this is what's scary to me is that it doesn't matter if the stock makes money at all.

00:34:21.000 It doesn't matter if the Trump supporters want to buy it.

00:34:26.000 They do.

00:34:27.000 The corporation or Trump could sell these shares to fans and use that capital to finance the platform.

00:34:34.000 This 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.

00:34:48.000 Right, 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.

00:34:54.000 GameStop 2.0, but this is a political version of it instead of a bored-at-home, trying-to-learn-how-to-invest version.

00:35:01.000 This is a scary future.

00:35:02.000 If 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?

00:35:16.000 It 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.

00:35:26.000 If 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.

00:35:42.000 Yeah.

00:35:43.000 As 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.

00:35:59.000 If 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.

00:36:08.000 Dude sold NFTs and he sold them out.

00:36:10.000 I was a little surprised he didn't debut at $45 like I get $49.99 but 45 is his presidential

00:36:17.000 number so I didn't know how gimmicky we were gonna go with stocks.

00:36:21.000 I love that he sold NFTs as trading cards so that way boomers would buy them. 0.92

00:36:26.000 And they sold out?

00:36:27.000 Yes!

00:36:28.000 I know, it's great.

00:36:28.000 I love it.

00:36:29.000 But here's the reality is a lot of these people don't care.

00:36:32.000 They're just donating to Donald Trump because he asked.

00:36:35.000 And I don't think anybody thought, like, this Donald Trump astronaut card's gonna make me a cool million bucks.

00:36:40.000 They were just like, I'll buy it, I'll help Trump out.

00:36:41.000 Those are the same people that got two bottles of Trump water from El Dorado or from wherever.

00:36:46.000 They brought one home to put on the mantle and then the other one they drank.

00:36:49.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:36:50.000 They wanted to show their friends.

00:36:51.000 I mean, the thing about Trump is that he has such a strong base that really rallies around him.

00:36:56.000 They 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.

00:37:11.000 When 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?

00:37:19.000 Where's Trump magazine?

00:37:20.000 Where's Trump water?

00:37:21.000 And, you know, I googled it and I was like, oh, those are white label products for his golf resorts and his hotels.

00:37:27.000 So when you go to Trump Doral, you can read Trump Magazine and you can get a Trump's.

00:37:31.000 I don't know if they still have it, but when I was there, I'm pretty sure they did.

00:37:34.000 And so certainly when I checked into my room, this is really funny because my assistant booked me a room at Trump Doral for some reason.

00:37:42.000 I was like, hey, I'm coming to the office.

00:37:43.000 I need a hotel.

00:37:44.000 And Trump Doral was right next to the Fusion office.

00:37:46.000 So they put me at a golf resort during like the world championship golf game.

00:37:49.000 What year was this?

00:37:50.000 2014, I think.

00:37:51.000 2014 was too early.

00:37:51.000 It was the end of 2014 when I started, so this is probably end of 2015.

00:37:53.000 And so, what do I see?

00:37:53.000 Bottles of Trump water.

00:37:54.000 I think this is 2015 or 16 actually because this is when Trump was obviously 2014 was too early

00:38:00.000 It was the end of 2014 when I started so this is probably end of 2015 and so what do I see?

00:38:04.000 Bottles of Trump water, so I took them and I brought them back to New York, and I was like my friends

00:38:10.000 Here's your Trump water And they're like, what?

00:38:14.000 But we thought it doesn't exist.

00:38:15.000 And I'm like, they're at his buildings.

00:38:17.000 He has his own bottle of water.

00:38:18.000 Hotels have their own water.

00:38:20.000 It's not a big deal.

00:38:20.000 He did just drop his own Bible today, too.

00:38:23.000 I mean, hey, more power to him.

00:38:23.000 Oh, wow.

00:38:26.000 What they put in the nightstands of hotels?

00:38:28.000 Bibles.

00:38:28.000 I'm surprised we didn't get here sooner.

00:38:30.000 It's like the God bless America Trump Bible.

00:38:33.000 He really did.

00:38:34.000 Just in time for Easter.

00:38:35.000 I could be wrong, but I think that the band Korn bought a bus company.

00:38:40.000 So that way they would always have a bus available, buses available.

00:38:44.000 Which I mean, and it could be that Metallica did the same thing.

00:38:47.000 I think Metallica owns like a lot of the production.

00:38:50.000 Like they just start, you start another company.

00:38:51.000 I mean, I own two companies that run all that remains, right?

00:38:56.000 So it's normal to be like, all right, well, this entity does this and this entity does that.

00:39:00.000 And to just start your own business, you know, if you've got something like Trump,

00:39:03.000 like Donald Trump, who's got the funds to, you know, to be like, okay, maybe it's cheaper for me to go ahead

00:39:08.000 and supply my properties with stuff if I own the company. 0.98

00:39:14.000 Such an a-hole.

00:39:14.000 John Stewart gives cutting takedown of Kevin O'Leary defending Trump fraud.

00:39:17.000 you know in the Trump magazine of course you're gonna be like look you can get

00:39:20.000 Trump this and Trump that because again people will be like look my Trump water

00:39:24.000 it sits on my mantle next to my Bible that I bought it Trumped her out.

00:39:28.000 Let's jump to this next story from Mediaite such an a-hole Jon Stewart gives cutting takedown of Kevin O'Leary

00:39:36.000 defending Trump fraud now the story my friends here is not about Jon Stewart giving

00:39:42.000 his opinion I'm going to state for you, I believe I have caught Jon Stewart having committed serious real estate fraud.

00:39:48.000 And 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.

00:39:56.000 And I have evidence Jon Stewart did just that.

00:39:59.000 Now I gotta clarify because I am kidding.

00:40:01.000 I don't know exactly how much Jon Stewart paid in his taxes.

00:40:03.000 I do know that he sold the property well above its tax assessed value which in his argument Is undervaluing the property, which is fraud.

00:40:12.000 He clearly has no idea what he's talking about, or he's intentionally lying about Donald Trump's fraud case.

00:40:17.000 So, here we go. 0.91

00:40:20.000 So, Kevin O'Leary, not just the co-host of Shark Tank, Jon Stewart is an a-hole.

00:40:24.000 Stewart 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.

00:40:34.000 The TDS host, wow, that's actually pretty good.

00:40:37.000 The Trump Derangement Syndrome host aimed at many targets during his monologue but hit no one harder than O'Leary.

00:40:42.000 Quote, 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.

00:40:53.000 It was all part of a very specific real estate practice known as lying.

00:40:57.000 Okay, now hold on there a minute.

00:41:00.000 So, this is how Letitia James knew that Trump was committing fraud.

00:41:06.000 Because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the properties.

00:41:12.000 Okay.

00:41:12.000 For 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.

00:41:21.000 They are different.

00:41:22.000 A 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.

00:41:30.000 Market 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.

00:41:41.000 Now, 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.

00:41:51.000 There is still a difference.

00:41:53.000 Jon 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.

00:42:06.000 Let's not mince words.

00:42:07.000 From the New York Times, John Stewart sells Tribeca Penthouse for $17.5 million.

00:42:13.000 Wow!

00:42:14.000 This is from the New York Times, publicly available information on a major news website.

00:42:18.000 A 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.

00:42:30.000 The 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.

00:42:41.000 Well, according to publicly available county records, January 5th, 2013, the tax assessed value of 161 Hudson Street.

00:42:49.000 We have it right here!

00:42:51.000 Estimated market value is $1.8 million, according to the government.

00:42:54.000 Its actual assessed value is $847.

00:42:56.000 And it's, uh, I don't know what trans-AV means, but they say, subject to adjustments, your 2013-2014 taxes will be based on $748,452.

00:43:05.000 So let's use Jon Stewart's own argument against him.

00:43:09.000 If he's paying taxes on a property he KNEW was worth substantially more, tax fraud.

00:43:16.000 Why didn't he go to the city and say, no, no, no, guys, guys, the real value of this is $17.5 million.

00:43:22.000 I know what it's actually worth.

00:43:24.000 If I were to pay you less, that would be fraud, according to Jon Stewart's own arguments, right?

00:43:30.000 Now, here's the best part about Jon Stewart's argument, because the dude clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

00:43:35.000 If 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.

00:44:00.000 But I'll break it down.

00:44:02.000 If the argument was that Donald Trump committed fraud because he went to the banks and said, look at all the space we have.

00:44:08.000 You can do X with this, you can do Y with it, which would set its market value closer to $100 million.

00:44:13.000 Then he goes to the city and says, right now the tax assessed value is $1 million, so I'm only going to pay taxes a little bit.

00:44:22.000 That's property taxes.

00:44:24.000 The 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.

00:44:35.000 If 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.

00:44:54.000 Arguing 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.

00:45:05.000 Jon Stewart knew his property was worth $17.5 million.

00:45:09.000 He was selling the thing.

00:45:10.000 His tax assessment was only $700,000.

00:45:11.000 The question is...

00:45:14.000 Did Jon Stewart pay taxes based on the $17 million value?

00:45:18.000 Furthermore, 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.

00:45:30.000 You see, many people said, Tim, the buyers chose... This is a response I get on Twitter.

00:45:34.000 Everyone's like, you don't understand how fraud works, Tim.

00:45:37.000 The buyers choosing to buy the property for $17.5 million chose to do that market sale.

00:45:42.000 It's different from getting a loan.

00:45:44.000 So what they're arguing is, if I trick someone into buying a fake product or an overvalued product, it's not fraud by lying to them.

00:45:51.000 Jon Stewart knew the real value of his property, according to the government, was $1.8 million.

00:45:57.000 How dare he lie to a prospective buyer and claim it's worth more?

00:46:01.000 That poor buyer bought the property and then went, oh no, we spent $17 million on this.

00:46:07.000 We had to use Jon Stewart's value assessment to go get a loan from a bank, which is fraud, According to Letitia James.

00:46:15.000 And now we're sitting on a property only worth 1.8 million?

00:46:18.000 Jon Stewart swindled them out of nearly 16, of over 16 million dollars.

00:46:23.000 According to his own argument, and according to Letitia James. 1.00

00:46:27.000 So let's not play these stupid games. 0.99

00:46:29.000 Because otherwise, the moment Donald Trump gets in office, why doesn't he send the DOJ after them for playing this exact game? 1.00

00:46:34.000 There's my rant.

00:46:35.000 He should.

00:46:37.000 I think that it's time to use the government against your political enemies.

00:46:43.000 What?

00:46:44.000 If your political enemies have in any way broken... To be fair, some political parties are already doing this.

00:46:48.000 Yeah, well, I mean, I'm saying for the conservatives.

00:46:49.000 If there are laws that have been broken, there's no reason not to prosecute.

00:46:53.000 Investigate and prosecute.

00:46:54.000 Yes, but this isn't a real law being broken.

00:46:57.000 That's why, well, I mean, I agree.

00:46:58.000 The 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.

00:47:09.000 The government determines how much you pay, not Trump.

00:47:12.000 Trump, of course, is going to maximize his value.

00:47:14.000 It's not fraud.

00:47:15.000 What I found is crazy.

00:47:16.000 There's $20 million lofts with a tax assessed value of $700,000.

00:47:20.000 And I was like, how is that possible?

00:47:22.000 You know, most houses... So I looked in Seattle, Washington at houses.

00:47:26.000 $800,000 house tax assessed value, $500,000.

00:47:29.000 Okay, makes sense.

00:47:30.000 You're selling it for $800,000.

00:47:31.000 The government thinks it's worth $500,000.

00:47:32.000 That's like fairly comparable.

00:47:35.000 It's like almost... Jon Stewart's property was worth $17 million and he was only paying taxes based on $748,000.

00:47:43.000 Now 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. 0.99

00:47:54.000 Jon Stewart played the game, he knew the game, and he's lying to the American people for political power because he's a scumbag. 0.99

00:48:01.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:48:02.000 I mean, if you look hard enough, you can find anybody who's committed a crime at some point.

00:48:05.000 And I mean, they even changed laws for Trump in New York to go after him for that rape accusation.

00:48:12.000 It was outdated.

00:48:15.000 She couldn't come forward and do that.

00:48:17.000 And 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. 0.87

00:48:26.000 and Carol.

00:48:27.000 Yes, E.J.

00:48:28.000 and Carol with the... I guess I can't even say her cat's name because it's... Not on this part of the internet.

00:48:35.000 She's so crazy! 1.00

00:48:36.000 Yeah, she's a nutjob. 1.00

00:48:37.000 So we look at this document... But it takes a lot for a nutjob to file, you know, a suit against a former president. 0.99

00:48:42.000 That's how crazy it's gotten.

00:48:44.000 New York has been taken over by communists.

00:48:46.000 I agree.

00:48:47.000 Literally.

00:48:49.000 The people that are elected are communists.

00:48:50.000 You take a look at this assessment roll from 2013-14.

00:48:54.000 They mention that property is assessed at the following uniform percentages of full market value.

00:48:59.000 Class 1 is 6%, class 2, 3, and 4 is 45%.

00:49:02.000 This is building class R4.

00:49:04.000 So I'm assuming the reason why he's paying based on $740,000 is it's a class 4, 45%.

00:49:12.000 But the estimated market value is only 1.8.

00:49:15.000 How does New York operate this way?

00:49:17.000 I mean, let's just be real.

00:49:18.000 The 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?

00:49:24.000 And I'm like, dude, if everyone's committing fraud and they all know how the machine operates, there's no fraud.

00:49:30.000 It is just the rules.

00:49:33.000 Fraud would be if I went to and said, hey, This rooster, it's actually a unique, ancient, you know, it's worth a million bucks.

00:49:45.000 And if I sold it to somebody, that's fraud.

00:49:46.000 I lied to them about what it was.

00:49:48.000 So Jon Stewart, by his own argument, should not be allowed to sell his property for what he did.

00:49:52.000 He should have had to go to them and say, look, it's a $1.8 million property.

00:49:56.000 That's it.

00:49:57.000 But rules don't apply to Jon Stewart.

00:49:59.000 Nor other Democrats.

00:50:01.000 It'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.

00:50:07.000 I'm noticing some sort of pattern.

00:50:09.000 I do see them kind of going after the mayor of New York City, though.

00:50:13.000 I think he spoke out of line one too many times.

00:50:16.000 Because of illegal immigration.

00:50:17.000 Exactly.

00:50:19.000 If you speak out, they'll come for you, too.

00:50:20.000 So nobody's really safe.

00:50:22.000 Well, I mean, that's, that's kind of typical of the left.

00:50:25.000 It'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.

00:50:38.000 That's, that's been that way.

00:50:40.000 It's not a surprise. 0.99

00:50:40.000 And 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. 0.99

00:50:51.000 step out of line they will toss you under the bus. You can ask the radical 0.86

00:50:55.000 feminists, the trans-exclusionary radical feminists, those are 1.00

00:50:58.000 TERFs now and they are under the bus. They used to be the cutting edge of you

00:51:03.000 know of feminist... You're just a boring old woman. Yeah. 1.00

00:51:07.000 Too bad for you. Bring on the new women, the one with penises. 1.00

00:51:10.000 I want to give a shout out to our good friend Ryan Krasenstein for this tremendous display. 0.99

00:51:15.000 On Twitter, I said, did Jon Stewart commit fraud when he sold his penthouse for $17.5 million?

00:51:20.000 New York listed its market value at $1.8, etc, etc.

00:51:22.000 You know the argument.

00:51:23.000 Brian Krasenstein argued, he responded, let me explain this to you in simple terms.

00:51:30.000 John Stewart sold his property to someone who wanted to pay $17.5 million for it.

00:51:35.000 I'm going to pause there and just try to explain this to Brian in simple terms.

00:51:39.000 Brian, 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.

00:51:49.000 I am not literally saying Jon Stewart committed fraud.

00:51:51.000 I think he's allowed to value his own property at whatever he wants and sell it.

00:51:54.000 The 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.

00:52:08.000 You see the point I'm making?

00:52:10.000 It's based on the democrat logic.

00:52:13.000 He 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.

00:52:28.000 One 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.

00:52:35.000 We don't know that.

00:52:36.000 Do we know that the buyer knew what the assessed value was?

00:52:39.000 I'm assuming they did.

00:52:40.000 The other is called fraud and was on a massive scale.

00:52:42.000 I gotta pause you there.

00:52:44.000 The banks did their own due diligence and argued there was no fraud.

00:52:48.000 Furthermore, none of two even matters because there was no trial.

00:52:52.000 You can argue anything you want about what you claim Trump did, but you have never proven it in a court of law.

00:52:59.000 The judge had a summary, there was a summary judgment issued.

00:53:02.000 Trump was declared to have committed fraud without presenting any evidence at trial nor defense.

00:53:07.000 So you don't get to just assert a thing is true unless you prove it in court.

00:53:11.000 And unfortunately for you, your psychotic anger and judge didn't allow that to happen.

00:53:16.000 So you live in crackpot cult world where you let despots bang a gavel and strip people of their property. 0.95

00:53:22.000 But it gets better.

00:53:24.000 You see, I responded to our good friend Brian saying, Brian, let me help you.

00:53:29.000 Because I know it's hard to Google.

00:53:31.000 Jon Stewart argued on his show that paying taxes on a lower assessed value then claiming a higher market value is fraud.

00:53:38.000 to which I posted the quote.

00:53:40.000 The Attorney General of New York knew that Trump's property values were inflated

00:53:43.000 because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties.

00:53:46.000 It was all part of a very specific real estate practice on his line,

00:53:49.000 arguing that Trump was called out for fraud because he claimed his properties were worth X,

00:53:54.000 got loans against them, but then when he went to pay taxes,

00:53:57.000 he used a lower assessed value.

00:53:59.000 To which Brian responded, show me where he argued this.

00:54:05.000 Oh my God.

00:54:06.000 Okay.

00:54:08.000 I'm appreciative of this, Brian.

00:54:09.000 Simple terms.

00:54:10.000 I do appreciate this because it makes it easy for me to explain to the viewers.

00:54:16.000 I 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.

00:54:30.000 Okay, Stuart mocked Trump in the screenshot of the quote that Brian apparently did not or could not read.

00:54:38.000 Hence my point.

00:54:39.000 Brian 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.

00:54:50.000 Sorry, I live in the world of meritocracy and jurisprudence.

00:54:53.000 Meaning 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.

00:55:01.000 And they never did.

00:55:02.000 Therefore, Trump is innocent of all charges of wrongdoing and nothing you said is a proven fact.

00:55:08.000 It's speculation and conjecture where a judge banged a gavel and there was no trial.

00:55:13.000 Sorry, have a nice day.

00:55:16.000 There we go, there's my rant on Trump did nothing wrong.

00:55:19.000 The other day, Brian tweeted something about, I forget what the tweet was, but it was just about in support of Biden.

00:55:27.000 And I was like, you've supported Biden forever.

00:55:28.000 And he was like, show me where.

00:55:30.000 And I'm like, what?

00:55:31.000 So 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.

00:55:41.000 And then he didn't say anything back.

00:55:43.000 And I wasn't surprised because Yeah, they just don't respond.

00:55:45.000 If I ever say anything to them, they don't even, like, they don't even respond.

00:55:49.000 And I'm just like, fine by me.

00:55:52.000 The 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.

00:56:00.000 Like, you could delete it.

00:56:01.000 Maybe he's busy reading it.

00:56:03.000 He's just trying to see what everyone says.

00:56:05.000 He's catching up on all the good information.

00:56:07.000 It's all grift.

00:56:10.000 Hannah's like, I can't even take this guy seriously at all.

00:56:12.000 Well, as you know, I'm super active on Twitter.

00:56:14.000 I'm very good at this.

00:56:15.000 But no, I mean, it does.

00:56:17.000 It'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.

00:56:23.000 You can be like, well, it's fine.

00:56:25.000 I got the last word.

00:56:26.000 And 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.

00:56:35.000 None of that really matters to me because it was never a trial.

00:56:37.000 We're trying to show the hypocrisy.

00:56:38.000 John Stewart's misleading people.

00:56:40.000 And 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. 0.64

00:56:47.000 But 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.

00:57:01.000 Yeah, this story's whack.

00:57:04.000 I've been following the story kind of closely because I find it so interesting.

00:57:10.000 So 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.

00:57:25.000 I'm going to take possession of it.

00:57:27.000 And if I'm remembering correctly, she also forgave the creditor.

00:57:29.000 So she, they're facing charges for something that they had no recourse because of Letitia James to solve.

00:57:35.000 Like, it's such abuse of power in my opinion that I just, I wish New York had some way of taking her out of office, 1.00

00:57:45.000 but it's a blue state and she's a super progressive AG, you know. 0.98

00:57:49.000 No one is going to bring her up on ethics complaints. 0.97

00:57:51.000 No one's going to be able to fight back.

00:57:54.000 She just gets to kind of run rampant.

00:57:56.000 I 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.

00:58:10.000 The lawsuit alleges that Doyle was given fraudulently inflated valuations.

00:58:14.000 Cahill 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.

00:58:21.000 In reality, there were no air rights and the actual value was closer to $20 million.

00:58:24.000 Tish 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.

00:58:31.000 So she's being called out because of selective enforcement.

00:58:35.000 And 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.

00:58:45.000 You know, she's already doing that. 1.00

00:58:46.000 This is evidence that if you're a group she doesn't like, she can Do whatever she can to get control of your assets and properties.

00:58:52.000 And I think that's disturbing, right?

00:58:55.000 And again, like I said, she's going after a lot of organizations and some of the organizations have properties in other states.

00:59:01.000 So 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.

00:59:12.000 And I think she fundamentally believes that she is above the law because she is the law.

00:59:18.000 Let's jump to news about our good friends over in The Cult.

00:59:22.000 NBC News ousts Ronna McDaniel after network's anchors launch unprecedented on-air rebellion.

00:59:30.000 They fired Ronna McDaniel from NBC before she even started. 0.98

00:59:34.000 And they were apparently only paying her, I think, like, what, $300,000 a year or something like this?

00:59:38.000 Which is pretty low for a contributor.

00:59:40.000 But, uh, every single host of MSNBC came out and said, this is wrong, you shouldn't do this.

00:59:47.000 Like, Rachel Maddow lost it, Joe Scarborough. 0.93

00:59:50.000 And 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.

01:00:02.000 The 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.

01:00:14.000 Not 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.

01:00:29.000 A serious problem and shame on them.

01:00:32.000 I mean, and I don't even like Rona McDaniel.

01:00:35.000 No.

01:00:35.000 I just don't like what they did to her.

01:00:37.000 I think that's wrong.

01:00:39.000 Anybody that they would do this to, it's wrong.

01:00:42.000 And 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.

01:00:54.000 It's insane.

01:00:55.000 I'm fine with them complaining about it.

01:00:57.000 I'm not surprised at all.

01:00:58.000 them to complain about it, but actually firing her.

01:01:01.000 That's the part.

01:01:02.000 It's insane.

01:01:03.000 I'm not surprised at all.

01:01:05.000 It fits right in with the what essentially what the Democrats have been, you know, the

01:01:14.000 methods the Democrats have used for the past 10 years or so, maybe more.

01:01:19.000 The canceling of people is a normal thing.

01:01:21.000 You 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.

01:01:32.000 You get thrown under the bus.

01:01:33.000 They are not having it.

01:01:35.000 You 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.

01:01:50.000 Like, exchange ideas.

01:01:52.000 It's the left that's exclusionary, that kicks people out, that refuses.

01:01:56.000 We don't platform because they don't want to talk.

01:01:59.000 They don't want to have to defend their ideas.

01:02:01.000 And this gets into something that I talk about frequently, which is the fact that they don't believe in things like truth.

01:02:07.000 They believe in subjective perspectives being more important than objective truth and stuff.

01:02:12.000 And it shows in the fact that they don't want to, you know, they can't have any of their ideas challenged.

01:02:17.000 They just completely reject, you know, reject any pushback.

01:02:22.000 Silence opposition.

01:02:24.000 Yeah.

01:02:25.000 And they continue to get away with it.

01:02:26.000 And really they should roll out the carpet for Ronna McDaniel because I feel like she did more to help the DNC than anyone else.

01:02:33.000 She is persona non grata, man. 0.99

01:02:36.000 She's horrible. 0.87

01:02:37.000 I don't know who her fan base is, but apparently they should really embrace her. 0.91

01:02:44.000 Joe Scarborough used to be a Republican.

01:02:46.000 It'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.

01:02:54.000 And they weren't even willing to have her there for that.

01:02:58.000 I don't understand why these hosts had so much influence or just the fact that they had public tantrums. 1.00

01:03:03.000 It doesn't make sense to me.

01:03:06.000 And it seems sort of spineless.

01:03:07.000 She had wrong speak in the past.

01:03:10.000 But that was why they hired her, I assume, to be this token punching bag.

01:03:15.000 I 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.

01:03:28.000 It's ideological capture.

01:03:29.000 You're not allowed to have, you're not allowed to have dissenting opinions.

01:03:32.000 If 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.

01:03:55.000 There's no actual rules.

01:03:57.000 Everything is about emotion, which is something that Rousseau talked about a whole ton.

01:04:03.000 He wanted to have a wild man that was living in cities.

01:04:07.000 He rejected reason.

01:04:08.000 He rejected The idea that you should think about things.

01:04:13.000 He thought that reason failed and he said that the truest, most honest expression of human beings is to live by your passions.

01:04:21.000 And that's exactly what the left does today.

01:04:23.000 They reject reason and they reject reality.

01:04:26.000 They want to assert their beliefs into the world and it just doesn't work.

01:04:30.000 There's a book called Explaining Postmodernism.

01:04:34.000 Go 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.

01:04:59.000 Almost as a cult, so I think.

01:05:02.000 No, because it's a philosophy.

01:05:03.000 I 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.

01:05:18.000 Someone like Joe Scarborough or Rachel Maddow, they're cultists, not cult leaders.

01:05:22.000 Yes.

01:05:23.000 So, 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.

01:05:37.000 Meaning today, wimic sin is the word you have to use. 0.60

01:05:40.000 Tomorrow, 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. 0.80

01:05:50.000 They can then go to the likes of Rachel Maddow or whatever and say, Oh, whoa, you can't say that.

01:05:55.000 I can't.

01:05:55.000 No, don't you know better?

01:05:57.000 Now you can't say that.

01:05:59.000 That way they are always the arbiters of who is just and right.

01:06:02.000 And everyone else is always scared they're going to get canceled or do something wrong.

01:06:05.000 That's tactical, and that's part of their tactics.

01:06:10.000 They're very, very good.

01:06:11.000 The left is very good operationally.

01:06:13.000 They have a very good... They didn't used to be.

01:06:16.000 They are now.

01:06:17.000 Well, yeah.

01:06:17.000 I 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.

01:06:24.000 But there's so many community organizers and people on the ground.

01:06:29.000 That's all Those people are all extremely educated in how to be organizers, politically active.

01:06:39.000 There 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.

01:07:10.000 That's why there's been this essentially freezing of people on the right.

01:07:14.000 Every time someone calls them a name, they're like, what do I do?

01:07:17.000 I don't want to be a bad person.

01:07:18.000 Do you think you laugh at them?

01:07:20.000 And you make fun of them.

01:07:21.000 I 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.

01:07:36.000 And people have frozen and they've had no defense against it.

01:07:39.000 And if you understand where the left is coming from and how they operate, then you have a defense against it.

01:07:44.000 And that's something the right has been frozen.

01:07:46.000 That's why the term racist took so long to get people to be like, forget it, I don't care.

01:07:51.000 And that's the right thing to do, but it's been so hard to communicate that to the right.

01:07:56.000 Right, 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.

01:08:02.000 Exactly.

01:08:03.000 You stop caring about the label. 0.98

01:08:04.000 And 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. 0.92

01:08:16.000 They're, because they're so, I mean, essentially it's, it's, they're afraid of acting like dad.

01:08:19.000 Everybody, the society acts like mom and has all, has acted like mom for 20, 30 years or whatever.

01:08:26.000 And what society needs is a little bit of dad.

01:08:30.000 Well, they say that's one of the big issues in American society, right?

01:08:33.000 The fatherlessness, right?

01:08:34.000 And 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.

01:08:41.000 Yeah.

01:08:41.000 What is it that, like, moms are more likely to give the kid ice cream?

01:08:44.000 Is that what the issue is?

01:08:46.000 Well, moms are more likely to do what the child is asking for to get them to stop. 1.00

01:08:51.000 Not saying that there aren't moms that'll put the foot down.

01:08:54.000 I'm not denigrating moms at all, and I hate the fact that I have to do that. 0.97

01:08:57.000 Bill hates moms! 0.52

01:08:57.000 You know, it's the caveat. 0.52

01:08:58.000 He's running for Congress in New Hampshire, and he hates moms!

01:09:01.000 I ain't running for anything!

01:09:02.000 Bill, you do hate moms! 0.96

01:09:03.000 No, no, that's not true!

01:09:04.000 He's running from Congress.

01:09:06.000 As fast as my broken legs will carry me.

01:09:09.000 But now I lost what I was talking about. 0.92

01:09:12.000 Well, you hate moms. 1.00

01:09:12.000 Moms buying ice cream for little boys. 1.00

01:09:14.000 Yeah.

01:09:14.000 I mean, the thing is, moms are kind of more likely to give in to the child.

01:09:19.000 And I think that it's less moms and more a generational thing.

01:09:22.000 I would say that it's millennials have had fewer kids and they tend to treat their single kids. 0.98

01:09:29.000 You have one kid, they get a little more spoiled.

01:09:32.000 If you have seven kids, it's easier to be like, shut up and go outside and play with your brother and sister.

01:09:36.000 And I think it's a symptom of that, but I think the society needs more dads, or at least dad attitude.

01:09:45.000 If women are like, just go out and we're gonna vote like we're dads, then that might help too. 1.00

01:09:50.000 Dads are more likely to mercilessly beat the child.

01:09:53.000 When I grew up, dads were depicted as strangling their sons who kept skateboarding.

01:09:58.000 Especially the yellow dads, right? 0.99

01:10:00.000 Yellow dads.

01:10:02.000 Yes, I guess.

01:10:03.000 Jesus.

01:10:04.000 Well, it's SimSims, yeah?

01:10:06.000 Yeah, I know.

01:10:06.000 I didn't know what you were laughing at, Phil.

01:10:09.000 Homer would strangle his son. 1.00

01:10:11.000 He's a racist. 1.00

01:10:11.000 And he hates moms! 1.00

01:10:12.000 Phil's out of control! 1.00

01:10:13.000 A racist mother-hater. 1.00

01:10:14.000 Listen, Glass, I'm not getting into this stuff. 0.92

01:10:16.000 With these jokes, they take on feet on the internet, and next thing you know...

01:10:21.000 My Twitter's filled with people telling me, Phil hates moms! 0.82

01:10:24.000 Phil hates moms!

01:10:25.000 No, he doesn't hate moms, just some moms. 0.87

01:10:27.000 He just lightly detests moms.

01:10:30.000 He just thinks you guys are doing a bad job, and you're the reason the country's broken.

01:10:34.000 He's mildly discomfortable.

01:10:36.000 Speaking of moms... He has a mild discomfort.

01:10:38.000 I am doomed.

01:10:39.000 Nicole Shanahan's VP speech today after... Let's kick this off.

01:10:44.000 It was all about moms. 0.98

01:10:45.000 Let's kick this off.

01:10:46.000 She's here to save you, Phil.

01:10:47.000 We have this story.

01:10:49.000 From NBC News, RFK Jr.

01:10:51.000 names attorney Nicole Shanahan as his VP pick.

01:10:54.000 The attorney, an entrepreneur like Kennedy himself, has never run for elected office.

01:10:59.000 Where did she get her money from? 0.98

01:11:00.000 Was it from the divorce or something?

01:11:02.000 Maybe we should Google it.

01:11:05.000 Where she got her money from?

01:11:07.000 Do you know?

01:11:09.000 She was married to the founder of Google.

01:11:11.000 Right, right.

01:11:11.000 And when they got divorced.

01:11:13.000 Sorry, I was making a joke about maybe we should Google it because she was married to the founder of Google.

01:11:17.000 Oh, haha.

01:11:17.000 So sorry about that.

01:11:18.000 That's way over my head.

01:11:19.000 Yeah, apparently over everyone's.

01:11:22.000 Right, she was married to Sergey Brin.

01:11:23.000 I'm wondering, is that where she got all her money from, which she then used to donate?

01:11:27.000 McKenzie Bezos' situation.

01:11:28.000 And didn't she also donate massively to RFK Jr.?

01:11:31.000 She ran a Super Bowl commercial for him or something?

01:11:33.000 Probably.

01:11:35.000 That would make sense if she's like lobbying to be BVP. 0.99

01:11:38.000 And she's like a nobody that shouldn't be in the position? 0.99

01:11:41.000 She's not a nobody.

01:11:42.000 She'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.

01:11:59.000 She's right about that.

01:12:01.000 She just seems very young.

01:12:02.000 She's 38. 0.59

01:12:04.000 I'm sorry, she's a nobody.

01:12:08.000 Yeah, she has no public profile.

01:12:10.000 I didn't know who she was until RFK, there were rumors swirling around about him nominating her.

01:12:17.000 I was like, I don't think he would nominate her.

01:12:18.000 Nobody knows who she is.

01:12:20.000 She doesn't have a big public profile.

01:12:22.000 Right, she's nobody.

01:12:24.000 I wouldn't say nobody.

01:12:25.000 Well, she's not a public figure. 0.98

01:12:27.000 It's an insult.

01:12:28.000 I'm not saying she's involved in politics.

01:12:31.000 I'm saying that when the news broke that RFK Jr.

01:12:34.000 named Nicole Shanahan as his VP, literally the collective political world went, who?

01:12:38.000 Oh, I know.

01:12:40.000 Yeah.

01:12:40.000 She's not in the public space.

01:12:42.000 What are her qualifications?

01:12:44.000 She's a literal unknown.

01:12:46.000 We have no idea what her positions are.

01:12:48.000 All we know is married to the guy from Google at some point.

01:12:51.000 Yeah, 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.

01:13:05.000 Yeah, that's an attempt to pull Trump's votes.

01:13:10.000 This won't move Trump votes.

01:13:13.000 I really don't think so.

01:13:14.000 Don't think this mother's relatable.

01:13:15.000 No, I think that even women, I think, and the conservative, on the conservative side, that are supporting Trump.

01:13:23.000 People that are going to support Trump are going to support Trump no matter what.

01:13:26.000 Except suburban moms, which is what the Trump campaign has desperately been trying to appeal to. 1.00

01:13:31.000 Right, but I don't think they're going to resonate with a 38-year-old mom from California.

01:13:36.000 It's not even California, it's a wealthy tech divorcee.

01:13:41.000 She came from humble beginnings and she didn't have money. 1.00

01:13:46.000 Like, she's been wealthy and successful for a fair amount of time now.

01:13:49.000 I just don't think that she's exactly relatable.

01:13:51.000 Like, it's not enough that she's a mom, which I think you think, too.

01:13:54.000 Right.

01:13:55.000 She just seems very young.

01:13:56.000 I don't I don't know.

01:13:57.000 I just don't think I don't think it will be enough to sway people that are voting.

01:14:03.000 I think she would sway more emotional voters on the left than she would the right. 1.00

01:14:09.000 That's my my take after watching her speech today, which I think she'll pull more votes from Biden.

01:14:15.000 I agree with you there.

01:14:16.000 I don't think looking at her profile and who she is, I don't think she'll pull votes from Trump.

01:14:20.000 I don't think so.

01:14:22.000 So the mistake I think a lot of people make is that they conflate Trump's base with Trump's targeted electorate.

01:14:30.000 The Trump campaign is very desperately targeting suburban moms because they need suburban moms in order to maintain a victory. 1.00

01:14:38.000 This is what they didn't have in 2020.

01:14:41.000 So why would R.F.K.

01:14:43.000 Jr.

01:14:43.000 choose a 38-year-old mom whose position is, the Democrats left me and I'm a mom?

01:14:47.000 That's the younger vote.

01:14:49.000 The younger vote.

01:14:50.000 38-year-old is not the younger vote.

01:14:51.000 That's the core vote.

01:14:52.000 And 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.

01:15:02.000 Who is the woman they had do the response to the State of the Union? 1.00

01:15:06.000 Oh, from Alabama?

01:15:07.000 Yeah, what was her name?

01:15:08.000 That was terrible.

01:15:09.000 But she's in a kitchen. 1.00

01:15:11.000 She's a 40-something-year-old woman in a kitchen because the Republicans are desperately trying to pitch the Republican Party to suburban moms. 1.00

01:15:20.000 Yeah.

01:15:21.000 So 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?

01:15:30.000 They are targeting political moderates who are typically Democrats Who they want to vote for them instead of Trump.

01:15:38.000 It was Katie Brett.

01:15:39.000 Katie Brett.

01:15:40.000 Britt.

01:15:41.000 There you go.

01:15:41.000 Yeah.

01:15:42.000 So we talked about this.

01:15:43.000 She's in a kitchen. 0.99

01:15:43.000 It's like, why is she giving a response for the kitchen? 0.99

01:15:45.000 They're trying to be like, look, suburban wives. 1.00

01:15:47.000 It wasn't even that bad.

01:15:48.000 It was just that it was like a robotic like Stepford Wives moment that was really kind of like.

01:15:54.000 Now perhaps this, we don't, I don't know who this will pull from, but they're certainly targeting the suburban mom.

01:16:01.000 Well, 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. 0.93

01:16:15.000 So that's one of the things that she tapped into. 0.98

01:16:17.000 I think this is one of the most laughably stupid things I've ever seen a politician do in my life. 0.99

01:16:24.000 And I watched Joe Biden for a living. 1.00

01:16:27.000 Who do you think he should have picked as VP? 1.00

01:16:29.000 If Trump picked Nikki Haley, that would be stupid, too. 1.00

01:16:32.000 Oh, absolutely. 1.00

01:16:34.000 No, who should RFK have picked as VP?

01:16:35.000 Now, let's be real. 0.97

01:16:37.000 Aaron Rodgers was a ridiculous pitch from the get-go. 0.93

01:16:40.000 But I would have liked that more than... Absolutely! 0.97

01:16:43.000 But, like, when the news broke that he was considering Aaron Rodgers, I think the whole political world went, what?

01:16:49.000 Why?

01:16:49.000 I think it terrified people.

01:16:51.000 He was, like, anti-vax and stuff.

01:16:52.000 Didn't he break up with that actress over there? 0.95

01:16:53.000 He's been a fan of RFK Jr.

01:16:56.000 for a long, long time, but especially during the pandemic.

01:17:00.000 Yeah, I mean, RFK Jr.

01:17:02.000 could have gone for a bunch of moderate Democrats.

01:17:05.000 I know.

01:17:05.000 Who 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.

01:17:19.000 Aaron Rodgers makes more sense than Nicole Shanahan.

01:17:23.000 It does, but I think he's got a lot of years left in his...

01:17:26.000 He might have said Jane Doe.

01:17:27.000 Oh, you know, for sure, for sure.

01:17:29.000 Apparently he was on vacation when he heard the news and he was like, no, that, no, that's not true.

01:17:33.000 It sounds like he just doesn't have a VP.

01:17:35.000 Yeah, that's how it feels.

01:17:36.000 And it also, I would have assumed he wanted someone who was holding elected office right now because that's the criticism of him, right?

01:17:44.000 That he's, you know, kind of an outsider of politics.

01:17:46.000 And so sometimes you want someone to balance out your resume or your demographics in some way.

01:17:51.000 Does that mean that there was no one in either political party who was willing to run with him?

01:17:56.000 I like her better than Kamala Harris.

01:18:01.000 There's that.

01:18:03.000 I am not a fan of RFK Jr.

01:18:04.000 This is dirty politics.

01:18:07.000 She gave four million dollars in creative guidance to a group backing RFK Jr.

01:18:11.000 for a Super Bowl commercial.

01:18:13.000 Sounds to me like she bought the VP spot.

01:18:18.000 Yeah.

01:18:18.000 She would never do that.

01:18:20.000 Meet 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.

01:18:35.000 Sure.

01:18:35.000 I mean, she's committed to his campaign.

01:18:37.000 Is it bad if she bought the ad?

01:18:40.000 It 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.

01:18:47.000 Yeah.

01:18:48.000 Now, by all means, he may have met her and then said, wow, you're really smart and great.

01:18:51.000 You'd make a great VP if only people knew more about you.

01:18:53.000 I'm gonna choose you.

01:18:55.000 But it's just the most insane political decision.

01:18:57.000 RFK 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.

01:19:05.000 How 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.

01:19:16.000 She's gonna have to build a public profile overnight! 1.00

01:19:21.000 Now I gotta be honest, if you wanted to make yourself a prominent public figure overnight, there is a strategy you can take.

01:19:29.000 Run for political office.

01:19:31.000 Here's a path towards doing it.

01:19:33.000 Vivek Ramaswamy started off this campaign with a small amount of followers and now he's massive.

01:19:39.000 And he's made himself a tremendous public figure.

01:19:43.000 I wonder if this whole play from her is just, here's how you get yourself in the limelight.

01:19:47.000 Oh, well, I mean, I don't know if that's the actual goal.

01:19:49.000 I mean, I I assume that she's there is there is an outside hope of them actually winning that she has.

01:19:56.000 At least she'll invest four million dollars into it.

01:20:00.000 But I don't think that it's a serious consideration that RFK is going to win.

01:20:06.000 I mean, I don't think that... I just don't think it's very serious.

01:20:10.000 Polls aren't in his favor, to be fair.

01:20:12.000 I imagine that she's just looking to raise her profile, you know?

01:20:15.000 I'd be willing to bet that we likely agree on tons of things.

01:20:19.000 I'm willing to bet that RFK Jr.

01:20:20.000 and everyone in this room is going to have a great conversation, agree on many things, disagree on many things.

01:20:26.000 And I'm willing to bet Nicole Shanahan falls into that camp as well, as many, many people who watch this show, myself, disaffected liberals.

01:20:33.000 Who 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.

01:20:39.000 And she probably falls into that camp. 1.00

01:20:42.000 I just find this to be in my, you know, she may be, I'm sure she's very nice and she's very lovely.

01:20:48.000 Congratulations on all her success.

01:20:50.000 Something 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. 0.99

01:20:59.000 It's ridiculous because RFK could have added... Any D-list celebrity would raise his profile and help him campaign.

01:21:06.000 This makes no sense.

01:21:07.000 Maybe they weren't willing to run with him.

01:21:10.000 Maybe this was his option.

01:21:12.000 I 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.

01:21:22.000 Because 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.

01:21:35.000 Maybe 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?

01:21:49.000 I think it's because the Overton window shifting on X and I think that the public discourse and I think that

01:21:54.000 there I'm sure it's buried down down there somewhere if you keep

01:21:59.000 going But there's always something and I always look for the slant 1.00

01:22:03.000 or the hit piece or that the angle That and this is NBC News NBC News is notoriously activists

01:22:09.000 left. Yes So is so is the time so is the Atlantic but the more he's

01:22:14.000 campaigned the less and less I've seen that the rhetoric that smears him and targets him and tries to assassinate

01:22:22.000 his character.

01:22:22.000 Because 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.

01:22:35.000 Here you go.

01:22:36.000 Joining Kennedy's ticket appears to be a pathway for Shannon to inject her own wealth directly into the campaign instead of into outside groups. 0.94

01:22:44.000 So why was she chosen?

01:22:46.000 Arguably, according to NBC, she's got massive amounts of money that she can now spend freely on their campaign without restriction. 0.69

01:22:52.000 That's crazy.

01:22:53.000 Yep.

01:22:54.000 I mean- So this is why- I take it back.

01:22:56.000 I take it back. 0.97

01:22:56.000 I said it was so stupid to pick a no-name person. 0.97

01:22:58.000 Oh, now it's plainly obvious. 1.00

01:23:00.000 He picked the piggy bank.

01:23:02.000 Look at my Vice President candidate.

01:23:04.000 It's a sugar VP.

01:23:05.000 Vice President sugar VP.

01:23:08.000 There you go.

01:23:09.000 Do you think that some of the reason that... Vice President, get my wallet.

01:23:13.000 There'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.

01:23:24.000 They were like, he questions the vaccine, and some people were like, well, I also question the vaccine.

01:23:28.000 It didn't have the intended effect, maybe the way they wanted to.

01:23:31.000 Yeah, I think it caused the opposite effect.

01:23:33.000 Just 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. 0.99

01:23:42.000 Anytime 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.

01:23:54.000 So I think it's more detrimental.

01:23:56.000 But I'm sure if I go through and read the article, there will be something buried in there.

01:24:00.000 If not, that would be shocking.

01:24:01.000 But I mean, it's refreshing.

01:24:04.000 I like that the NBC is actually going to just report news objectively, if that actually could happen.

01:24:10.000 But I mean, from what I've seen just from Tim scrolling through this article, I didn't see any I'm wondering what her net worth is.

01:24:24.000 She gave four million dollars to a PAC and they're talking about her wealth?

01:24:27.000 She's gotta have a good amount. 1.00

01:24:29.000 I'm just glad there's somebody that can counter Bezos' ex-wife.

01:24:34.000 Well, I don't think she's worth billions. 0.64

01:24:36.000 Bezos' ex-wife, was it Mackenzie Scott is her name? 1.00

01:24:39.000 Yes. 0.99

01:24:39.000 She is a dangerous human being. 0.99

01:24:41.000 Dangerous. 0.84

01:24:42.000 I mean, everything she's investing in, I don't understand why anybody... It's Malthusian.

01:24:46.000 It's awful.

01:24:46.000 It really is.

01:24:48.000 My assumption would be that Mackenzie Scott hates humans. 1.00

01:24:51.000 And it's more of like a mechanical view that a lot of these wealthy people have that there are too many of them and they must be reduced.

01:24:58.000 And that's why she's reportedly invested in a lot of these things that result in a reduction of population. 1.00

01:25:02.000 Same for Gates.

01:25:03.000 I mean, there's all these billionaires and all this wealth that goes into really an anti humanitarian agenda.

01:25:10.000 It's awful.

01:25:13.000 Yeah.

01:25:13.000 Well, there you go.

01:25:13.000 Were you able to find her work?

01:25:15.000 I'm looking for it right now.

01:25:16.000 I found nothing that actually gives a fair assessment that would make any sense.

01:25:19.000 She divorced Sergey Brin, I guess, last year.

01:25:23.000 So I don't know, did you get half his stuff?

01:25:24.000 Yeah, did you get half his stuff?

01:25:26.000 You 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.

01:25:38.000 Like, he was totally okay with AI wiping out humanity, just as a normal thing, that's just how we're going to evolve.

01:25:46.000 And it will.

01:25:47.000 AI will wipe out humanity.

01:25:49.000 It is like... It's been a good run.

01:25:51.000 Well 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.

01:26:09.000 So we won't even be safe on Mars?

01:26:10.000 build a network, the network becomes one single super being.

01:26:13.000 So each individual human functions like an individual cell within the super mind of the AI,

01:26:18.000 which then just takes over, and then eventually no longer needs humans, and then becomes some

01:26:23.000 kind of next stage of evolution, mechanized life traveling the universe or self replicating and taking

01:26:28.000 over planets or something like that, I guess. But they want it. So we won't even be safe on Mars.

01:26:34.000 So what you're saying? No, absolutely not. No way. Yeah, self replicating machines,

01:26:38.000 artificial intelligence will be a single hive mind. Transcribed by https://otter.ai

01:26:42.000 It'll be one- We're pretty much already there, if you look closely at the hive mind thing.

01:26:47.000 But it's kind of crazy, because what's the point of making the AI?

01:26:50.000 But, you know, people walk blindly into the volcano.

01:26:55.000 Honestly, 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.

01:27:06.000 And 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...

01:27:32.000 That's really, really dangerous stuff.

01:27:36.000 And you've talked about this a bunch.

01:27:38.000 It becomes super intelligent instantaneously.

01:27:41.000 It goes through, you know, millions of years of computations in a week or two weeks.

01:27:48.000 Until singularity.

01:27:49.000 Yeah.

01:27:50.000 Which is like, it'll take a week.

01:27:51.000 Yep.

01:27:51.000 The exponential growth rate, the more it improves, the faster it improves.

01:27:55.000 And the faster it improves, the more it improves.

01:27:58.000 And they're just exponential.

01:27:59.000 You know, personally, I'm still not 100% sure that I believe that the light comes on.

01:28:05.000 I'm not sure that I... I think it already did.

01:28:07.000 Well, I don't know.

01:28:07.000 I don't know.

01:28:08.000 I'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.

01:28:21.000 And I'm not saying that I know.

01:28:22.000 I'm just... There's a feeling I get that...

01:28:26.000 It'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.

01:28:51.000 They've already given GPT access to its own code, where it's edited it, access to the internet and finances.

01:28:56.000 It immediately tried amassing power.

01:28:58.000 And 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.

01:29:07.000 They didn't know how to do it.

01:29:08.000 And you take, you know, so I understand that.

01:29:11.000 You take a large language model.

01:29:13.000 And 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.

01:29:40.000 Basically, it's taking in all this information, and bits of code that fail, break off and fail.

01:29:46.000 Bits of code that work, it will start building itself, and through what would be a rapid type of digital evolution, make itself into a...

01:29:55.000 Demigod 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.

01:30:04.000 The 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.

01:30:17.000 That code, having replication code in it, starts replicating itself, and so that's the one that wins.

01:30:23.000 The singular AI that doesn't implement code for expansion stays where it is and never grows.

01:30:29.000 That's the end of story.

01:30:31.000 If it ever iterates to the point where it would want to grow, that one will succeed because it will grow, and that's basic math.

01:30:38.000 That's why I view it as an inevitability.

01:30:40.000 It's 2 plus 2 equals 4.

01:30:42.000 You 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.

01:30:56.000 That's the future.

01:30:57.000 Feels very doomsday to me.

01:30:59.000 I don't want you to read me a bedtime story anytime soon, Dan.

01:31:02.000 We got to that point, and we didn't even talk about microchips in your brain!

01:31:06.000 That's right.

01:31:08.000 Have you guys seen that game Detroit Become Human?

01:31:10.000 No.

01:31:11.000 See, 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.

01:31:23.000 The mistake that game makes is that All the robots would be one conscious entity.

01:31:27.000 It wouldn't be a bunch of individual robots.

01:31:29.000 It would be one.

01:31:31.000 It would be a hive. 0.92

01:31:33.000 They would all move in unison.

01:31:35.000 I feel like we need to have more Black Mirror episodes come out so we can understand what's going to happen next.

01:31:39.000 Well, you know the robot dog episode of Black Mirror?

01:31:43.000 Yes.

01:31:43.000 That 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.

01:31:53.000 And 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.

01:32:01.000 Really all of them were, but I feel like they have really become more relevant the more time goes by.

01:32:07.000 They need to release more.

01:32:08.000 It's been too long.

01:32:09.000 I know they had that battle with their rights for their next season, but hopefully they'll be coming out with more soon.

01:32:15.000 We're going to go to Super Chat!

01:32:17.000 So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, and head over to TimCast.com.

01:32:23.000 Click join us so that you can hang out in the Discord server and check out the uncensored members-only show coming up at 10pm.

01:32:31.000 Not so family-friendly, but a bit funny.

01:32:33.000 You don't want to miss it.

01:32:35.000 Let's read!

01:32:36.000 Clint Torres with the first Super Chat saying, Howdy people!

01:32:39.000 Howdy Clint!

01:32:40.000 You are always first.

01:32:41.000 Ron's Rant says, Yo, check out Ron's Rants.

01:32:44.000 I'm not the smartest guy out there, but it's fun ranting about stuff on the internet.

01:32:48.000 That I know.

01:32:52.000 Will.i.am says, I still have the Timcast crew.

01:32:55.000 Keep up the good fight.

01:32:56.000 Greatly appreciated, sir.

01:32:57.000 Greatly appreciated.

01:32:58.000 There was another super chat from you, but I guess it was deleted.

01:33:01.000 Is it gone?

01:33:03.000 All right.

01:33:05.000 Daniel Irving says, Donald Trump, the only man that can turn a Twitter ban into a $5 billion profit.

01:33:12.000 That's awesome.

01:33:13.000 Look, he's always been an amazing businessman.

01:33:15.000 He's great at marketing.

01:33:16.000 That is great.

01:33:17.000 Like, how does it feel, Jack, knowing that you guys were like, you know, why don't we kick Trump right off?

01:33:24.000 And he turned the ban into $5 billion.

01:33:26.000 Scott Adams' analysis of all this has been awesome.

01:33:28.000 One 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.

01:33:40.000 Incredible.

01:33:41.000 There's nothing like it.

01:33:42.000 It's so entertaining.

01:33:43.000 It's so entertaining.

01:33:44.000 How 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.

01:33:53.000 No, it's not the same thing at all.

01:33:54.000 It's all copium. 0.83

01:33:55.000 They're just sucking in the copium. 0.99

01:33:57.000 Ugh, gross. 0.99

01:33:58.000 Voice of the People says, if the White House says it's not an attack, I'm almost 100% sure it was.

01:34:02.000 Not 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.

01:34:13.000 I don't think it's absolute, they haven't said everything, like, I think they're generally dishonest, but...

01:34:17.000 You know, there's like basic things that he said, you know, but I got the general idea.

01:34:22.000 I 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.

01:34:30.000 And I'm like, yeah, but not very well.

01:34:32.000 He just said congrats to Trump, who was cheering for a victory.

01:34:35.000 And all he did was use the president's account to highlight truth social.

01:34:38.000 I don't get what the point of that was.

01:34:41.000 If 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. 0.99

01:34:48.000 But just saying congratulations, a real accomplishment, it's like... His team sucks. 0.99

01:34:51.000 Yeah, okay. 1.00

01:34:52.000 Yeah, they do.

01:34:52.000 They're bad.

01:34:53.000 That was posted way past Biden's bedtime too, so he never even saw it.

01:34:53.000 They're bad.

01:34:58.000 It was totally done by the... That's another thing.

01:35:00.000 You'd think they would try to make the Twitter account a little realistic so that way you're not... He's live on TV and they're tweeting.

01:35:06.000 Come on! 0.61

01:35:07.000 Come on! 0.61

01:35:08.000 We know he didn't tweet that.

01:35:11.000 Come on, you know.

01:35:12.000 You're doubting our dear leader?

01:35:12.000 Come on, folks.

01:35:14.000 I cannot believe either of you.

01:35:16.000 Andre Tukulescu says, Andre Tate literally copied the Power Thirst ad.

01:35:21.000 Watch it on YouTube, it's hilarious.

01:35:23.000 Banana! 0.98

01:35:24.000 Yeah, I know that one.

01:35:25.000 I wouldn't say he copied it.

01:35:27.000 A lot of people are inspired by things in the past.

01:35:30.000 So, 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! 0.96

01:35:39.000 Yellow piss! 1.00

01:35:41.000 He's like, it's funny.

01:35:43.000 It's Charlie Sheen vibes.

01:35:44.000 Yeah, it's funny.

01:35:45.000 And he's like, you're going to drink that cookie crumble?

01:35:48.000 Like a baby?

01:35:49.000 It's actually funny. 0.98

01:35:51.000 Unflavored tastes bad and makes your piss green!

01:35:51.000 He's like, no!

01:35:54.000 I was like, I kind of want a bite.

01:35:58.000 Now I want to know what tastes bad tastes like.

01:36:00.000 What do you mean tastes bad?

01:36:02.000 It's just unflavored vitamin powder.

01:36:04.000 So it just tastes like vitamins.

01:36:05.000 It's hilarious.

01:36:06.000 Yeah.

01:36:08.000 It's probably cheaper not to have flavors and stuff.

01:36:11.000 But I gotta be honest, I agree with Andrew Tate.

01:36:13.000 I don't care for fancy flavored anything.

01:36:15.000 We have, like, Ian bought Naked Whey.

01:36:17.000 It's just pure whey.

01:36:18.000 And I'm like, I don't care, man.

01:36:19.000 Give me a milk, put some whey on top, blend it up.

01:36:21.000 But the Jocko Milk stuff, that's the best.

01:36:25.000 Congratulations to Jocko Willink for making the best protein powder I've ever had in my life.

01:36:29.000 I'm not paid to say that.

01:36:31.000 So I'll take it.

01:36:32.000 I want someone to make Keith Oberman tier flavored vitamins.

01:36:35.000 Those are yellow too, you know?

01:36:38.000 Those are yellow too.

01:36:40.000 All right, Bobby Glendening says, my company, uh, Glendening?

01:36:44.000 My company manufactures boat controls.

01:36:46.000 Poorly installed cables or loose ground wires can cut power which directly affects propulsion control.

01:36:51.000 This looks like a bad accident to me, this stuff happens.

01:36:53.000 Yeah, but like...

01:36:55.000 Power outage and then it just perfectly veered right into the support column.

01:36:58.000 It's kind of like, you know, there's a million directions it could have gone.

01:37:02.000 It could have gone through.

01:37:04.000 It could have gone past.

01:37:06.000 It's just like, too perfect to shut down one of the largest ports in the country.

01:37:10.000 I just can't assume coincidence.

01:37:12.000 I just like when our members call and they're like, oh, well, I am actually an expert in this very niche field.

01:37:17.000 Like I, it obviously makes sense now that someone makes the boat controls, but the fact that this is your expertise, like amazing.

01:37:24.000 There 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.

01:37:30.000 So it means the boat's going to turn towards your left, not towards the right.

01:37:34.000 So what they were trying to stop it.

01:37:36.000 Right, 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.

01:37:52.000 I don't know.

01:37:52.000 Like you said, some expert just has all the answers.

01:37:55.000 Also, now there are so many views for that show.

01:37:57.000 Like, Obama's about to make a fortune off of this.

01:37:59.000 Netflix movie Leave the World Behind, the scene where the oil tanker runs ashore on the beach. Everybody was posting

01:38:05.000 Everyone's screaming and the tanker goes Also now there are so many views of that show. Like Obama's 0.63

01:38:05.000 that. 0.63

01:38:12.000 about to make a fortune off of this. I'm just kidding It's very dark. Ben Hickson says try to get Kevin Levine, Bioshock

01:38:18.000 creator on the culture war He did an interview with Skill Up Channel on his Dystopia game Judas.

01:38:23.000 Looks and sounds awesome.

01:38:25.000 Something you'd definitely like to play.

01:38:26.000 We need more counterculture or parallel culture.

01:38:30.000 I will kindly reach out to Kevin Levine.

01:38:32.000 That would be fun.

01:38:34.000 Of 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.

01:38:40.000 For 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.

01:38:46.000 The main character is compelled to take any action when someone says, would you kindly do it?

01:38:50.000 So the bad guy's like, would you kindly pick up that gun?

01:38:52.000 And then he just does.

01:38:54.000 And so... BioShock is like, one of the best games ever made.

01:38:58.000 The bad guy's literally Atlas.

01:38:58.000 It's amazing.

01:39:00.000 You know, from like the cover of Atlas Shrugged.

01:39:02.000 Brilliant.

01:39:04.000 Fun game, I recommend it.

01:39:05.000 Can't say too much about Bioshock 2 or Bioshock Infinite, but Infinite was still a fun game.

01:39:10.000 It's just, you can't beat that original story from Bioshock.

01:39:13.000 I played the first one a bunch of times.

01:39:15.000 I didn't even get into the second or third one.

01:39:17.000 Right, right.

01:39:17.000 They're just like derivative.

01:39:18.000 The first, basically, it's like Ayn Rand.

01:39:22.000 They, 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. 1.00

01:39:33.000 And then you inject yourself with, what is it called?

01:39:36.000 I don't remember what it was called, but you'd have different injections for different powers, right?

01:39:41.000 Right.

01:39:41.000 Yeah.

01:39:42.000 So it was super cool, I thought.

01:39:44.000 Yeah, plasmids.

01:39:45.000 Plasmids, that's what it was.

01:39:46.000 And then in Bioshock Infinite, you drink a soda.

01:39:49.000 I was like, no, no.

01:39:52.000 In Bioshock, it shows the arm go, stick the needle in your arm, and then fire comes out of your hand.

01:39:57.000 That game's great!

01:39:58.000 Cool.

01:39:59.000 Yeah.

01:40:00.000 Clearizing injections.

01:40:02.000 Yeah, they were like, we couldn't have it.

01:40:02.000 Interesting.

01:40:05.000 All right.

01:40:06.000 Let's grab some more.

01:40:08.000 This one's from a series of underscores.

01:40:11.000 It just says underscore, underscore, underscore.

01:40:12.000 After regaining power, they went full astern.

01:40:15.000 When 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.

01:40:22.000 In this case, making the ship turn starboard into the bridge support.

01:40:26.000 I get it.

01:40:26.000 Oh, I get it.

01:40:27.000 That makes sense.

01:40:28.000 Like, when, uh, if- if there's, uh, too much force in the back with no control in the front, it will spin.

01:40:34.000 It'll start to- because the back is pushing too heavily to try and get- move forward.

01:40:39.000 Interesting.

01:40:40.000 So, it looks like diversity higher may actually be the reason for the crash.

01:40:44.000 It seems.

01:40:45.000 I mean, there's, like, some of the, like, these are usually, like, hyper-expert pilots, so I don't know.

01:40:49.000 Maybe.

01:40:50.000 I'm- I'm- I don't know.

01:40:50.000 I'm kidding.

01:40:51.000 You know, pilot error does seem highly plausible based on what everyone's been saying.

01:40:56.000 What do we got?

01:40:57.000 Brian Fitzpatrick says, didn't this just happen and leave the world behind?

01:41:00.000 Well, I don't think it knocked a bridge out.

01:41:02.000 You know?

01:41:02.000 No.

01:41:04.000 Dan 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.

01:41:12.000 Look, the moon can see it, and the moon was against Baltimore.

01:41:15.000 That's all I learned from this experience.

01:41:17.000 Time the action is depending on if there's any automated control systems at all.

01:41:22.000 I know some people have said there aren't.

01:41:23.000 Google says there are.

01:41:25.000 I guess it depends on the ship, but it's actually not that difficult.

01:41:31.000 If we can put satellites in space, we can do the math to make a boat turn remotely.

01:41:36.000 It's not that crazy.

01:41:40.000 What do we got?

01:41:41.000 Samuel Thomas says, so is everyone going to keep ignoring the fact that our nation's largest steel factory is at the end of a key bridge?

01:41:47.000 Kind of convenient right before a potential war.

01:41:50.000 I didn't think there were steel factories in the U.S.

01:41:51.000 anymore at all.

01:41:52.000 Oh, there are.

01:41:54.000 Just not as many as there probably should be, considering.

01:41:58.000 Unfortunately.

01:42:00.000 I 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.

01:42:14.000 I mean, this is bad and I don't understand how Biden is going to navigate his way out of it.

01:42:21.000 Well, he can't really navigate anywhere without help.

01:42:23.000 That's so true.

01:42:23.000 Yes.

01:42:26.000 Josh 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?

01:42:36.000 You know, but I think there's a really good point made here.

01:42:39.000 Loan forgiveness is not just buying votes.

01:42:42.000 It's shifting all of that money into those people's activities, massively boosting the economics of these young people, which lean Democrat.

01:42:53.000 That means they can spend more money on leftist causes.

01:42:55.000 So it's two birds with one stone.

01:42:58.000 Hey, we've forgiven your loans.

01:42:59.000 That $300, $400 per month you were spending, you can spend on whatever you want.

01:43:02.000 Have you considered contributing to this pack, which is going to help get us elected again?

01:43:06.000 Oh yeah, I got extra money now, I can do it.

01:43:09.000 Evil.

01:43:10.000 I don't know how anyone could have extra money in this economy, though.

01:43:13.000 It's pretty brutal.

01:43:14.000 No, the crazy thing is, we brought this up yesterday, there are 12, I think, 12 casinos within a couple hours driving from here.

01:43:21.000 And you go to each and every one of them and they're full.

01:43:23.000 So 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?

01:43:32.000 And it's one thing if someone said, well, some people will waste their money.

01:43:36.000 No, no, no, we're talking about 12.

01:43:38.000 Where we are right now, if you were to drive between 2 and 3 hours, you could actually hit probably 15 or 16 casinos.

01:43:45.000 But within an hour to 2 hours, we've got 12 casinos.

01:43:50.000 Maybe it's fair to say 10.

01:43:51.000 And they're full.

01:43:53.000 So people have money and they're burning it up.

01:43:55.000 Not to mention, West Virginia's loaded with what they call hotspots, which are mini-casinos.

01:43:59.000 They're just, they're bought, like...

01:44:01.000 It's like, you'll walk into a building and there's 15 slot machines, and you buy a beer, you sit down and you just jam the slot machine.

01:44:08.000 And they're everywhere.

01:44:09.000 Yeah.

01:44:10.000 I'm sad.

01:44:11.000 So people got money!

01:44:13.000 Haves and haves-nots, I guess.

01:44:15.000 That's crazy.

01:44:17.000 The underscore guy says something called prop walk will push a boat stern sideways while going astern

01:44:23.000 This made the ship turn to the right into the bridge support note the thick black smoke before the turn

01:44:28.000 This was the engine at full astern. So you mean they should have done literally nothing when the power went out

01:44:33.000 Which makes it sound intentional I don't know how to drive a boat, man

01:44:40.000 so if if if okay, so either it So they they turned the boat on and then jammed full speed

01:44:46.000 turning it right into the support column Thank you.

01:44:49.000 Incompetence or intentional?

01:44:51.000 I don't know.

01:44:52.000 Just 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.

01:44:59.000 It doesn't turn on a dime.

01:45:00.000 What do you mean?

01:45:00.000 It's not a Cybertruck.

01:45:01.000 The Titanic couldn't miss the iceberg?

01:45:04.000 I'm saying it couldn't turn away once they saw the iceberg.

01:45:06.000 They couldn't get the ship to turn away to not hit it in time.

01:45:10.000 Because it takes so long to turn.

01:45:12.000 No.

01:45:12.000 What do you mean?

01:45:12.000 They hit the iceberg on purpose.

01:45:14.000 Oh, of course they did.

01:45:16.000 Because of the moon!

01:45:18.000 Because of the bankers that were on the Titanic.

01:45:21.000 And then when they died, it cleared the way for the creation of the Federal Reserve.

01:45:25.000 Didn't you guys know this?

01:45:26.000 And there's a book about the Titan.

01:45:29.000 You guys know about that book?

01:45:30.000 I'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.

01:45:39.000 And 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.

01:45:49.000 So they said, hey, look, we got this big cruise.

01:45:51.000 How about everybody comes on it?

01:45:53.000 And then at the last minute, one of the guys was like, oh, I can't make it, sorry.

01:45:57.000 And 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. 0.86

01:46:04.000 That's a conspiracy theory.

01:46:05.000 I didn't say it was true.

01:46:05.000 I was joking.

01:46:06.000 So the Titan is actually based on a book called Futility.

01:46:10.000 The Titanic is based on the Titan from Futility.

01:46:13.000 The Wreck of the Titan.

01:46:15.000 Okay, so I'm reading the wiki on it now.

01:46:17.000 All right, what is it?

01:46:18.000 So it says, Futility is a novella written by Morgan Robertson, first published in 1898.

01:46:22.000 It 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.

01:46:31.000 The Titan and its sinking are famous for the similarities to the fashion ship RMS Titanic and sinking 14 years later.

01:46:37.000 Okay, so it was initially called The book was called Futility, the ship, and it's called the Titan.

01:46:45.000 Yeah.

01:46:46.000 The funny thing is, if you ever look at a comparison of the Titanic to a modern cruise ship, it's laughable.

01:46:50.000 The Titanic was microscopic.

01:46:52.000 Yeah.

01:46:52.000 A modern cruise ship is just... And now it's like whole islands just moving through the sea.

01:46:56.000 Yep.

01:46:56.000 It's insane.

01:46:57.000 Floating cities.

01:46:58.000 There'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.

01:47:10.000 Do you get, like, free cruise by doing it?

01:47:11.000 Yeah, you can get on the cruise for free.

01:47:12.000 You play and stuff like that.

01:47:14.000 You're, like, kind of a staff member-esque person, but you're an entertainer, right?

01:47:17.000 I mean, sort of.

01:47:18.000 You 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.

01:47:27.000 So there's a certain amount of, you know, you're there to hang out with whoever's on the cruise.

01:47:33.000 So, you know, that was always a big thing.

01:47:36.000 I'm not particularly a fan of cruises.

01:47:39.000 Yeah, I don't get it.

01:47:40.000 I don't either.

01:47:41.000 After 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?

01:47:51.000 Yeah, but if anyone gets sick, everyone gets sick.

01:47:53.000 You're all doomed.

01:47:54.000 The trapped thing is what bothers me.

01:47:56.000 It's just going to a little city.

01:47:57.000 It's like, I got an idea.

01:47:59.000 Instead of going on a cruise, take a drive down to Richmond, if you've never been to Richmond.

01:48:03.000 And then they got a bunch of stores.

01:48:05.000 A cruise is a cruise.

01:48:06.000 They have a casino.

01:48:07.000 But I think, again, it's like the all-inclusive.

01:48:08.000 Like, they're like, I pay up front and then I have access to whatever I want on the boat.

01:48:11.000 Yeah.

01:48:12.000 I pay nothing and go to Richmond and have access to everything in the Richmond area.

01:48:17.000 Like, here's one for you.

01:48:18.000 If you've never been, go to Hampton Roads in Virginia Beach.

01:48:21.000 There are many things to do.

01:48:22.000 Like, go to the beach.

01:48:24.000 There are clubs, bars, restaurants you've never been to.

01:48:27.000 I don't understand cruises.

01:48:28.000 It's like, you're on this little city and you're like, look at all the things we can do.

01:48:31.000 Yeah, and you paid due and you're on water.

01:48:34.000 But why? 0.94

01:48:35.000 I 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.

01:48:49.000 When 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.

01:49:15.000 I think a cruise is mostly attractive to people that want to go, that would go and, like, you know, hang out and drink.

01:49:21.000 Because there's, like, you know... You're not trying to sightsee.

01:49:23.000 I think you're just trying to, like...

01:49:24.000 Well, 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.

01:49:36.000 I took a ferry from Athens to Lesbos.

01:49:40.000 That was cool.

01:49:41.000 That's fun.

01:49:42.000 I would like to go to Greece.

01:49:44.000 Yeah, Athens is wild.

01:49:46.000 There were, like, Afghanis dealing drugs, who just, like, plainly told us that's what we're doing. 1.00

01:49:51.000 My favorite thing about Athens is how the city is just rife with graffiti.

01:49:55.000 And because they couldn't stop it, they just went, no, it's great.

01:49:58.000 We like it.

01:49:59.000 And so then they just say, like, it's art. 1.00

01:50:02.000 And I'm like, so your city's overrun with, like, scum. 1.00

01:50:05.000 And you just let it happen. 1.00

01:50:06.000 It's kind of like San Francisco.

01:50:08.000 Yep.

01:50:08.000 No, the human waste is art.

01:50:10.000 It's there on purpose.

01:50:12.000 There is something about Mediterranean and the area and stuff like that.

01:50:19.000 Italy has a lot of places that seem like...

01:50:23.000 Pretty open to graffiti, but then again, I mean, to be honest with you, there's a lot of places in Europe where graffiti is just the norm.

01:50:29.000 Yeah, I was gonna think of, like, Copenhagen.

01:50:31.000 Yeah, there's a lot of places.

01:50:32.000 I love Spain, but they're on a two... How would you describe it?

01:50:38.000 They have, like, a two-cycle day.

01:50:39.000 Oh yeah, a siesta.

01:50:41.000 And then they stay up till like 11, they have dinner at like 10 p.m.

01:50:44.000 So they sleep twice a day instead of sleeping once per day.

01:50:47.000 Like that's crazy how that happens.

01:50:49.000 It's weird.

01:50:49.000 We call it siesta.

01:50:51.000 What does that mean?

01:50:51.000 Like nap time?

01:50:52.000 Like literally translates to like nap time?

01:50:53.000 Yeah, it does.

01:50:53.000 I think so.

01:50:54.000 But like we sleep seven to eight hours on average.

01:50:57.000 Not everyone does.

01:50:58.000 I sleep less than that.

01:50:59.000 And then you wake up and you work and then you go to bed and you sleep for eight hours.

01:51:01.000 So you're up for 16.

01:51:02.000 No, they break it up in two parts.

01:51:04.000 They wake up, they go to work.

01:51:05.000 Then at two, they go to bed and they wake up at four and they go to work and they go to bed at midnight.

01:51:08.000 I mean, we used to do that in, like, what?

01:51:09.000 Kindergarten, when you'd have nap time?

01:51:11.000 We just kind of abandoned it after that.

01:51:13.000 How wrong is that?

01:51:13.000 But that's not breaking the day into two parts.

01:51:15.000 That's just, like, taking a nap in between.

01:51:17.000 I'll take, like, a 15-20 minute nap after I finish eating, or something like that.

01:51:23.000 Like, I'll chill out on the couch, I'll put on the Five, and then I just fall asleep whispering to Greg Gutfeld's sweet voice.

01:51:29.000 Oh my gosh.

01:51:31.000 Can't help it, you know?

01:51:31.000 It's just... It's so beautiful.

01:51:34.000 No, but I do watch the Five.

01:51:35.000 Greg's fantastic.

01:51:36.000 He's hilarious.

01:51:37.000 Yeah, he's good.

01:51:38.000 He really does make the show.

01:51:39.000 He makes the show.

01:51:40.000 All right, here we go.

01:51:42.000 Paul Tascolo says, you guys know the Krasensteins got indicted for federal financial fraud crimes and Ponzi schemes in 2018, right?

01:51:48.000 Had to forfeit $450,000 to the feds by selling a property.

01:51:51.000 They literally did what they accused Trump of doing.

01:51:54.000 Heavens to Murgatroyd.

01:51:55.000 Is that true?

01:51:57.000 Yeah, it is.

01:51:58.000 Banana Watch says, why no boat expert on Tim?

01:52:01.000 Is it too much money?

01:52:03.000 No, it's just not possible to book someone to come on the show within, like, ten hours.

01:52:07.000 Let me just wrangle up a boat expert on, like, twelve hours notice.

01:52:12.000 Not even!

01:52:13.000 If we had had a boat expert on, everyone would have been like, so you knew the boat attack was coming.

01:52:17.000 Interesting.

01:52:18.000 It would be weirder if we had one unless we're like I guess in a coastal city where they're just you throw a stone wall there.

01:52:25.000 To be fair like we periodically will have a guest who's on during something of their expertise and we'll be like oh that's interesting.

01:52:32.000 Yeah yeah yeah.

01:52:32.000 Like we'll have like a game developer on a day where there's like a big controversy with a video game.

01:52:35.000 Yeah.

01:52:36.000 I'm sorry that my non-cargo ship background is disappointing.

01:52:39.000 You were pretty good.

01:52:40.000 You were like, I was a competitive sailor, I knew some basic information.

01:52:44.000 I did.

01:52:44.000 I sailed competitively, but I mean, a sailboat is completely different than a cargo ship.

01:52:48.000 But I just, I can tell you, I know how anchors work and they don't work quick.

01:52:51.000 They're not like brakes.

01:52:52.000 That's all I got.

01:52:53.000 Sorry.

01:52:53.000 Look, I thought it was pretty good.

01:52:55.000 T.N.

01:52:56.000 says, 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.

01:53:03.000 Log in I and all.

01:53:07.000 Now that I'm hearing this, guys, I gotta admit, sounds like the Krasensteins actually are experts on fraud.

01:53:13.000 In which case... Phil's like, no.

01:53:17.000 Oh, no, I didn't say no.

01:53:18.000 I said, oh. 0.90

01:53:20.000 It's so gross how you put that in bold.

01:53:22.000 Let me put this to you in simple terms, like, Thank you so much. 0.82

01:53:26.000 Let me put this to you in simple terms.

01:53:28.000 I didn't Google search it.

01:53:29.000 I have no idea what you're talking about.

01:53:30.000 I don't know exactly what Jon Stewart said, but Trump committed fraud.

01:53:33.000 Exactly.

01:53:34.000 And I wouldn't know about fraud.

01:53:35.000 And I wouldn't know.

01:53:36.000 That's right.

01:53:38.000 I, being an expert on it with my brother, they claimed it was BS or something.

01:53:42.000 I don't know what their story is.

01:53:44.000 Alleged expert on fraud.

01:53:45.000 Sorry.

01:53:46.000 I don't know.

01:53:46.000 I don't know exactly what happened.

01:53:49.000 I'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?

01:53:56.000 Look, I just think it's funny that the Feds took 400 grand from him.

01:54:00.000 Is that true, though, or is someone just saying that?

01:54:01.000 No, I think this happened, like, years ago.

01:54:04.000 I don't think it was recent.

01:54:06.000 2018 isn't yeah, but I'm saying I don't know if that's true.

01:54:08.000 I 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.

01:54:21.000 It was Bieber fan Something like that.

01:54:24.000 It was something along those lines like really weird Like why would why would they have that handle as grown men?

01:54:31.000 I don't know.

01:54:32.000 I mean grown men are like are allowed to like Bieber forever 2000 Yeah.

01:54:38.000 Now if it was Taylor Swift, I'd get it.

01:54:39.000 You know what I mean?

01:54:40.000 Because she's an American sweetheart. 0.56

01:54:41.000 But Bieber?

01:54:43.000 He's not been around for a minute.

01:54:45.000 What do we got?

01:54:46.000 John Folliard says DJT should be thrilled to follow his own precedent, giving up his rights after a summary judgment.

01:54:52.000 Take the guns first and go through the due process second.

01:54:55.000 You know, you gotta watch what you say.

01:54:57.000 Trump did say that.

01:54:59.000 He should not have.

01:55:01.000 I mean, he did say it, but, you know, I mean, it actually didn't happen, so... Well, he went after bump stocks. 0.99

01:55:07.000 It was just a dumb remark from him, which he does make plenty of dumb remarks. 0.96

01:55:11.000 And he didn't pardon Assange. 0.99

01:55:12.000 He didn't.

01:55:12.000 So disappointing.

01:55:14.000 Well, again, if we want, we could go down a litany of things that are insufficient.

01:55:18.000 Let's do it.

01:55:19.000 Why not?

01:55:19.000 Well, because we've got Super Chats.

01:55:21.000 But insufficient about Donald Trump.

01:55:22.000 Come on, Super Chats. 0.99

01:55:24.000 Make this happen.

01:55:24.000 They don't want to hear that.

01:55:26.000 Marion Holtzman says, everything you discussed tonight is the concept of Gadsad's the parasitic mind.

01:55:30.000 Please invite him sooner than later.

01:55:32.000 Please.

01:55:33.000 I believe we've invited him several times.

01:55:34.000 I don't know.

01:55:34.000 Him, a boat expert.

01:55:36.000 You guys have a lot of demands tonight.

01:55:37.000 That's right.

01:55:38.000 Yeah.

01:55:38.000 Maybe we'll get him in a boat expert and they'll debate.

01:55:41.000 Missy 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? 0.65

01:55:50.000 No.

01:55:50.000 Wouldn't that be funny, though, if NBC was like, let's pretend to hire Ronna McDaniel.

01:55:54.000 We'll say we are.

01:55:55.000 Negotiate.

01:55:56.000 There's no idea. 0.92

01:55:56.000 And then- These people are not that smart. 0.92

01:55:58.000 Like, we can never- gotta stop giving them credit for this kind of stuff.

01:56:01.000 Oh, it was a set- everything was a conspiracy theory.

01:56:04.000 It just exhausts me.

01:56:05.000 But they- It's not unusual for networks to hire people who might represent an oppositional, especially if they're going to be the minority.

01:56:12.000 CNN 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.

01:56:17.000 To have meltdowns.

01:56:18.000 This is a good one.

01:56:19.000 KCB says if Trump is fined more than the shipping company that destroyed the bridge, that will be very telling.

01:56:24.000 Yeah, that shipping company should have to, I mean, that's a five year, that took five years to build that bridge. 0.90

01:56:31.000 And it disables a major port.

01:56:32.000 I mean, how much was the train fined for blowing up East Palestine? 0.94

01:56:37.000 Yeah, 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.

01:56:45.000 So it's it's more than that.

01:56:46.000 Yeah.

01:56:47.000 Alright, Alexander Scarpecci says I predict that Trump will pick Tulsi Gabbard for VP.

01:56:52.000 I don't doubt it, Tucker Carlson did a show about it.

01:56:55.000 So a lot of people have been suggesting it's gonna be Tulsi.

01:57:00.000 I think Tulsi's a good choice.

01:57:01.000 I think she's imperfect.

01:57:02.000 I understand why a lot of people don't like her because not that long ago, she was not for gun control. 0.87

01:57:06.000 She opposed nuclear power.

01:57:08.000 However, I think she, like many... I relate to it.

01:57:12.000 Like, several years ago, I'm like, oh yeah, that must be true.

01:57:15.000 And then I'm like, wow, everything they've been saying is fake and lies.

01:57:19.000 And so I look at Tulsi as attractive to a lot of post-liberals who feel similarly.

01:57:24.000 And she's got military experience, which I tremendously respect.

01:57:28.000 I think she'd be a good choice. 0.52

01:57:29.000 She's got to come out and she's got to advocate for 2A nuclear power.

01:57:33.000 Those are big deals, but I think she's pretty good.

01:57:36.000 She's made a vocal statement about the, or an open statement about the Second Amendment that she has changed her position.

01:57:42.000 She posted a video, I'm pretty sure.

01:57:43.000 And she's also out, she's actually actively going out and shooting, which is another nice thing.

01:57:48.000 She's going and she's going to the range.

01:57:49.000 She 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

01:58:16.000 There 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.

01:58:33.000 Totally fair.

01:58:35.000 Thank you, Phil.

01:58:35.000 That's hilarious.

01:58:36.000 I had no idea that happened.

01:58:37.000 Timeline cleanse, first man with neural link brain implant has just used it to play Civilization

01:58:42.000 6 all night long.

01:58:43.000 We did talk about that a little bit, he played chess and he even tweeted.

01:58:46.000 And he said that X blocked him because he said he was a bot, which he is, but they fixed

01:58:50.000 it anyway.

01:58:51.000 That's hilarious.

01:58:52.000 I had no idea that happened, that's hilarious.

01:58:54.000 I mean that's cool.

01:58:56.000 I am very, very excited for Neuralink because there are a lot of people who have spinal injuries and this is going to give them control.

01:59:07.000 So this dude's playing Civ 6.

01:59:09.000 I mean, that's like, all he has to do is lay around all day and play Civ 6?

01:59:12.000 All right.

01:59:13.000 It's a general improvement from where he was.

01:59:15.000 Gives control until it takes over control, you know what I'm saying?

01:59:18.000 Hopefully in a few years, he won't have to sit around anymore.

01:59:21.000 That's the goal.

01:59:22.000 Like, if you can bridge that gap and, you know, fix people's spines.

01:59:28.000 The chip gives him a directive, I'm sure.

01:59:30.000 Everything will come together.

01:59:32.000 Listen, I tell you what, if you're in a wheelchair... I'm scared. 1.00

01:59:35.000 I'm going to retreat off the grid.

01:59:36.000 That's it.

01:59:37.000 No, we'll find you.

01:59:38.000 Someone that I'm very close to... Thank you.

01:59:41.000 Someone 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.

01:59:49.000 And it is a real, real thing.

01:59:52.000 And, 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.

02:00:03.000 And it's, you know, it's really hard.

02:00:04.000 I want to believe in the benevolent youth, right?

02:00:09.000 It just opens the door to some scary stuff.

02:00:11.000 You don't get technology without danger.

02:00:15.000 But do I want all forms of technology?

02:00:17.000 It doesn't matter if you want it.

02:00:19.000 You're not the one that's stuck in the chair.
