00:02:36.000 A viral rumor is circulating that Xi Jinping suffered a stroke at the BRICS summit, fainted, and was emergency evac back to China.
00:02:45.000 Now, of course, we're seeing a counterclaim.
00:02:48.000 These community notes are popping up saying, no, that didn't happen, but they're not actually approved, so we don't know for sure, but we'll check into this.
00:02:56.000 It may be nothing.
00:02:57.000 Modi apparently was speaking and then turns over, and you can see the camera, and something's happening.
00:03:01.000 He's like, is he all right?
00:03:02.000 And then all of a sudden, we get this post from this Chinese guy saying, he suffered a stroke.
00:03:07.000 He's being rushed out of there.
00:03:08.000 It's got like 10 million hits.
00:03:11.000 And of course, the challenge with all of this is dissidents in China have every reason to claim that Xi Jinping is sick, right?
00:03:18.000 They want him out.
00:03:18.000 They don't like the guy.
00:03:20.000 At the same time, the Chinese Communist Party is going to lie and say he's fine if he isn't.
00:03:24.000 Needless to say, the rumor has over 10 million views.
00:03:26.000 Everybody's talking about it as it pertains to the BRICS nations.
00:03:28.000 Of course, this does have some inter.
00:03:32.000 This will result in some overlap with the U.S., the Iran war, and what is currently happening, especially with what's going on in Ukraine and whether.
00:03:39.000 Russia, South Africa, et cetera, will ever be involved.
00:03:43.000 Then we also heard the South African president was also sick and left.
00:03:47.000 So, well, it's kind of weird.
00:03:48.000 We'll talk about that.
00:03:49.000 Then we got more news.
00:03:50.000 Apparently, a Democrat super PAC was caught paying voters.
00:03:54.000 Those are the allegations.
00:03:55.000 We will talk about that.
00:03:56.000 We got a lot more.
00:03:58.000 The DOJ is going after these homeless fraudsters.
00:04:01.000 I believe it's in California, and we're glad to see it.
00:04:03.000 And what I mean by homeless fraudsters is these fake companies that are funneling money through these fake homeless NGOs.
00:04:09.000 So, of course, my friends, we will get into all of that and more.
00:04:13.000 So, smash that like button and subscribe.
00:04:15.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and everything else is Clyde Do Something.
00:04:20.000 Thanks for having me.
00:04:22.000 It's really a pleasure.
00:04:23.000 I've been, can you hear me?
00:04:25.000 I was going to say, who are you?
00:04:25.000 No, yeah, who are you?
00:04:26.000 What do you do?
00:04:26.000 So, who am I?
00:04:27.000 I'm a Canadian, former Canadian YouTuber.
00:04:29.000 I moved to Texas just recently.
00:04:31.000 I've been covering a lot of the stories that have been happening in Canada and what's been going on there because it's actually really unbelievable.
00:04:39.000 I come to the United States and I tell people what's actually happening and they don't believe it.
00:04:44.000 They absolutely don't believe it.
00:04:45.000 Like your government kills more people dying in Canada from assisted suicide than anything else?
00:04:50.000 Is that true?
00:04:51.000 It's absolutely true.
00:04:52.000 Something like that.
00:04:53.000 Maybe it's not number one, but it's like way up there.
00:04:54.000 Here's what it is.
00:04:55.000 What it really is is the dangers of socialism at the end of the day.
00:04:59.000 You know, you can convince people, you know, we need a safety net.
00:05:01.000 We need these kinds of things to, you know, protect, you know, the downtrodden and all of this stuff.
00:05:07.000 Canada went with the decision to do socialized medicine.
00:05:11.000 And when it comes to socialism, they did it in more of a.
00:05:14.000 You know, true to socialism, where a lot of other people or a lot of other countries have adopted this idea of, you know, have a social safety net when it comes to medicine.
00:05:25.000 So, you know, you can, if you can't afford it, they'll have Medicaid, you know, here in the United States or, and they have NHS in England.
00:05:35.000 But there's always a private option, there's always somewhere else you can go.
00:05:37.000 Canada is more true to the socialist model where it's illegal to actually have these hospitals, private medical systems, except for some carve outs for the French people in Quebec.
00:05:48.000 So it's crazy.
00:05:50.000 Now, at the end of the day, what ends up happening is you have a system that is inefficient and people can't get served.
00:05:57.000 So, a number of years ago, they figured out hey, well, there's a lot of people fighting for this idea of euthanasia.
00:06:04.000 We could use this as a way to save money in the medical system.
00:06:07.000 And it really is that perverse.
00:06:08.000 Well, maybe someday soon we will liberate the Canadians.
00:06:13.000 Trump will be greeted as a liberator when we free them from their shackles.
00:06:16.000 Great to have you.
00:06:17.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.
00:06:18.000 Get the boys hanging out.
00:06:18.000 Yeah.
00:06:19.000 I get concerned about the.
00:06:21.000 Attack free Canada rhetoric.
00:06:22.000 I mean, a free Canada.
00:06:23.000 I am also concerned about it.
00:06:24.000 I mean, it's poor Canadians, you know, free Canada.
00:06:26.000 I think Americans think it's funny when Trump's like, we're going to invade Canada, but Canadians are like, oh my God, that country's capable of killing anyone, and they think we're really going to attack right now.
00:06:35.000 We don't need to attack.
00:06:36.000 They'll welcome us as liberators.
00:06:37.000 Have we already?
00:06:38.000 Whatever happens, Canadians cannot vote in American elections.
00:06:42.000 That's it.
00:06:43.000 I spent the last 70 hours.
00:06:44.000 That'll be a vassal state.
00:06:45.000 They can vote in their own, but we oversee them.
00:06:47.000 I spent the last 70 hours of the last four days of the last 90 building AI.
00:06:52.000 I'm so ready to implement what I understand through prompts and console commands.
00:06:56.000 It's crazy on socialism, like you're saying.
00:06:59.000 It's wild how it always turns free markets into black markets.
00:07:03.000 Because when you can't actually get something for free, you have to go find it if they make it illegal.
00:07:07.000 But yeah, we got to look at it.
00:07:08.000 Because human trade is a natural function of physical reality, and trying to stop it is impossible because people will trade either way.
00:07:16.000 Just when you sell someone that can't sell their meat from their farm, you've made it a black market.
00:07:21.000 And so, this is the way it works in Canada, right?
00:07:23.000 I think the joke is that Canada does have a two tier system.
00:07:26.000 It's, you know, once you can't get your service in Canada, you go to the United States.
00:07:31.000 There you go.
00:07:32.000 That's really what a lot of people do.
00:07:34.000 I actually have some stories in that regard.
00:07:36.000 I know some Canadians I'll talk to about that.
00:07:38.000 Phil, of course, is hanging out.
00:07:39.000 How are you doing, everybody?
00:07:39.000 Yeah.
00:07:40.000 Carter's here.
00:07:41.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:42.000 Before we get into the news, my friends, we've got a great sponsor for you.
00:07:45.000 It is Keet.io, K E E T dot I O slash Timcast IRL.
00:07:52.000 Here's an uncomfortable question for you Why should your messaging app need to know anything about you?
00:07:57.000 Most of us have already accepted that tech companies are collecting enormous amounts of information what we click, where we go, what we buy, who we interact with.
00:08:04.000 That information is valuable because your attention is valuable.
00:08:07.000 Keet takes a radically different approach.

00:08:14.000 There's no centralized company database holding your conversations, no metadata tracking, no phone number or email required.
00:08:20.000 Your messages are end to end encrypted and move between the people in the conversation only.
00:08:25.000 Your private life shouldn't be another crop in somebody's data farm.

00:08:57.000 But let's jump to the news, my friends.
00:08:59.000 We've got this from the Times of India.
00:09:01.000 She suffered stroke and fainted at Brick Summit, claims China Democracy Party chief.
00:09:07.000 Post gets community noted.
00:09:09.000 It, in fact, did not get community noted.
00:09:12.000 It does have proposed community notes, but in fact, itself does not have anything verified.
00:09:18.000 And so this post, originally in Chinese, says it is rumored that Xi Jinping fainted at the BRICS summit hosted by India.
00:09:23.000 After emergency treatment by his accompanying medical team, he ended his visit to India early and returned to China on a special plane.
00:09:31.000 Upon the plane's arrival at Beijing Airport, the Beijing authorities did not arrange for a large group of officials to greet him, nor did they organize a welcome ceremony.
00:09:38.000 Instead, a military helicopter was used to transport Xi directly to Beijing's 301 Hospital for emergency treatment.
00:09:45.000 It is said that after diagnosis by the expert team at Beijing's 301 Hospital, It was determined that Xi Jinping had suffered a severe ischemic stroke that is a transient cerebral infarction.
00:09:56.000 Because Xi Jinping feared that the Indian side might obtain information about his health, he refused emergency treatment at an Indian hospital and instead took a special plane back to Beijing for care during the flight, as there were no conditions for surgery.
00:10:09.000 The medical team could only administer conservative treatment to sustain Xi Jinping's life.
00:10:13.000 As a result, he missed the golden window for emergency care and surgery.
00:10:17.000 Even at Beijing's 301 hospital, If Xi Jinping undergoes surgery for treatment, there's a high likelihood of severe sequelae.
00:10:23.000 Is that how you say that?
00:10:24.000 I don't know what that is.
00:10:26.000 At present, the Beijing authorities are still unable to confirm whether Xi Jinping can recover himself before the visit to the United States.
00:10:33.000 So, they're waiting to see if it will be necessary to cancel the late September trip to the U.S.
00:10:37.000 Now, we don't know for sure.
00:10:39.000 There are proposed notes that basically say one, this is not confirmed, we don't know.
00:10:43.000 And another saying fake news, he had already departed New Delhi on the 13th and returned home.
00:10:49.000 So, they're saying he wasn't even there.
00:10:50.000 But I think we actually do have the video of Modi.
00:10:55.000 And there's not really much to see, just that Modi is speaking is interrupted by something.
00:11:08.000 And there's.
00:11:09.000 Is it okay?
00:11:10.000 Is it okay?
00:11:12.000 Something happens you can't really see on the camera.
00:11:15.000 It says Xi with an arrow pointing to it.
00:11:18.000 We don't know for sure.
00:11:19.000 This could just be a clever manipulation by, let's say Xi really did leave, but they do have a video of someone fainting.
00:11:28.000 Sowing doubt on the leader of China is extremely powerful, especially right now, as you've got Chinese interests lining up, U.S. interests lining up, the U.S. at war with Iran.
00:11:38.000 You've got.
00:11:39.000 Interests from the BRICS nations, and obviously with Russia, going against the United States, reports now that Russia suffered its worst defeat in the entire war recently, with the Ukrainians taking a massive swath of territory back in the Donbass.
00:11:53.000 And so imagine you've got this military defeat for Russia, and then they psyop, or let's just say it's a psyop.
00:12:01.000 Xi Jinping had a stroke.
00:12:03.000 Who's going to want to align with the BRICS nations when you get all of this news at once?
00:12:07.000 It shatters confidence among second world nations, which could be very good for the United States if they're trying to assert global dominance.
00:12:14.000 Yeah, I mean, if there was some kind of stroke, it does fall into the normal kind of behavior that China engages in.
00:12:26.000 They don't let these kind of things get out, they keep the information as quiet as possible.
00:12:32.000 I'm just reading about what some of the repercussions would be.
00:12:37.000 She's like the head of the military, and he's gotten rid of so many of his basically generals, what amounts to generals.
00:12:47.000 So, if he is out of commission, it's unclear as to what the succession is, who's in charge of the Chinese military.
00:12:56.000 China's not really looking like they're looking to project force right now.
00:13:01.000 So, I don't think that would mean there would be any kind of like crazy invasion.
00:13:05.000 But it does call into question who's going to be running it.
00:13:08.000 There would be allegedly, there's supposed to be what is it?
00:13:13.000 The party's core is still loyal to Xi.
00:13:16.000 But it's really, China's really run by.
00:13:19.000 Jinping, right?
00:13:19.000 Like, there's not a lot of other people that are powerful in the company.
00:13:25.000 They all answer directly to him.
00:13:27.000 He's gotten rid of anybody that wasn't loyal to him.
00:13:29.000 He is a dictator on par with Putin.
00:13:31.000 So there's going to be, and there's all kinds of internal things going on in China right now that obviously we don't know a lot of details about.
00:13:41.000 But, you know, this is what's weird.
00:13:43.000 It's a big thing for China.
00:13:44.000 What's weird to me is that there could be such a person that in like Xi Jinping, Strokes out and faints, and everyone's kind of like, Oh no, what do we do?
00:13:53.000 Isn't there someone like there's going to be power struggles?
00:13:56.000 People are going to be like, I'm in charge.
00:13:57.000 No, I'm in charge.
00:13:58.000 You think you'd have a medical team like with them on staff just in case something like that happened?
00:14:02.000 How old is that guy?
00:14:03.000 Good question.
00:14:04.000 It is one of the weaknesses of monarchy having a single ruler.
00:14:07.000 If something happens to him, the whole country is just like, What next?
00:14:10.000 And there's a lot of ambitious people that have already decided what to do as soon as they get a chance.
00:14:15.000 So she broke the secession machine.
00:14:16.000 He never groomed a stable successor, and China got.
00:14:21.000 Like the chaos of the gang of four after he died, because Mao did the same thing.
00:14:26.000 I'm sorry.
00:14:27.000 Mao did the same thing that she did, or she did the same thing that Mao did.
00:14:32.000 She did the, he eliminated term limits in 2018, purged or sidelined every plausible successor, concentrated power so completely in himself that there is no designated number two with legitimacy.
00:14:43.000 He's incapacitated.
00:14:45.000 If he's incapacitated, there's no clean handoff.
00:14:47.000 That's just going to kind of leave a vacuum.
00:14:49.000 And obviously, there will be power struggles inside the Chinese Communist Party for who's going to take his place.
00:14:58.000 So, the anti corruption campaign that Ji kind of went on, like it basically destroyed hundreds of senior officials and military officers.
00:15:07.000 If he's seen as vulnerable, those networks and the families of the purge have enormous incentive to move against him or against the people who carried out the purges on his behalf.
00:15:14.000 Gordon Chang, rumored to be Bo Zhao and Zhao Yong Kang, being freed, if true, it would be a massive signal that someone is already doing this.
00:15:22.000 The military is a wild card.
00:15:23.000 All these things are happening now?
00:15:25.000 Yeah, well, it says that if she.
00:15:27.000 Is actually incapacitated, and/or he dies, right?
00:15:29.000 Because there's no one to take his place right now.
00:15:31.000 Yeah, he doesn't have someone lined up.
00:15:33.000 Uh, so these are just things that that could possibly that would be uh likely if he's out of commission, which it seems like he is right now, but obviously we don't have any information.
00:15:42.000 It would create a huge power vacuum, basically.
00:15:44.000 Yeah, would it end up being like the 90s and when the Soviet Union collapsed, basically?
00:15:50.000 Yeah, I mean, but we, our economy, if China collapses, the U.S. economy will skyrocket so rapidly, you like.
00:15:59.000 Poor people will wake up one day covered in gold chains.
00:16:02.000 And what I mean by that is so many second world nations, and I'm using that in the actual.
00:16:08.000 So, for those who are not familiar, these are the.
00:16:11.000 During the Cold War, the first world was the United States and the Soviet Union.
00:16:15.000 The second world were their satellites.
00:16:16.000 And the third world were unaligned.
00:16:18.000 So, all of the countries that rely on China for resources that China trades with will all of a sudden have no trading partner.
00:16:24.000 So, if China does collapse, Trump cuts them off, China collapses, there's going to be a bunch of nations going, hey, we need stuff and we can't get it anywhere.
00:16:32.000 This is what happened after World War II because basically US industrial rivals were flattened.
00:16:37.000 So the US was pumping out industrial, like, you know, cars, for instance, like crazy.
00:16:42.000 Everybody's buying everything from us.
00:16:44.000 The Soviet Union was strangling their own people in stupid ways so they couldn't compete.
00:16:48.000 So we did fairly well.
00:16:49.000 And then after the Soviet Union collapsed in the 90s, it was the largest economic expansion in US history.
00:16:54.000 Now we're competing with China and she is outright telling us we are going to win.
00:16:59.000 So I'd have to imagine if she does stroke out.
00:17:04.000 If there is a power vacuum and a struggle and it destabilizes leadership and they're cut off from oil because of the Strait of Hormuz and what Trump is doing, people might wake up being like, the economy just got real good for some reason.
00:17:15.000 They're not going to know why.
00:17:17.000 They're not going to know why.
00:17:18.000 Because there's way too many steps between what happens to a major global manufacturer and how we produce and what we produce.
00:17:27.000 But the U.S. will need to pick up manufacturing ASAP.
00:17:30.000 We're not necessarily geared to do it.
00:17:31.000 So I'm not literally saying they'll wake up with gold chains.
00:17:33.000 There's a huge lag there, though.
00:17:35.000 So, and we're witnessing this happen in real time because of what's happening with Canada.
00:17:39.000 So, Canada is going through this trade war that they're insisting on having with the United States.
00:17:44.000 And what it's doing is it's actually getting, because of Donald Trump's tariffs, which he rightfully put in place, by the way, manufacturing is leaving Canada and it's coming to the United States.
00:17:56.000 And it's doing it at a rapid pace.
00:17:57.000 But at the same time, you can't just pick up a factory today.
00:18:01.000 So, one of the big criticisms against Donald Trump was well, it didn't turn into new jobs.
00:18:01.000 Yeah.
00:18:05.000 Well, those jobs would take two, maybe three years to come online.
00:18:09.000 So you'll see it down.
00:18:10.000 Start coming online.
00:18:11.000 Start coming online.
00:18:11.000 That's right.
00:18:12.000 So maybe a simple manufacturing process.
00:18:15.000 It could come on within like a year and a half kind of thing.
00:18:18.000 But we're talking about 40% of Canadian manufacturing is moving to the United States.
00:18:22.000 Really?
00:18:23.000 Wow.
00:18:23.000 40%.
00:18:24.000 This is from the National Post.
00:18:25.000 Wow.
00:18:26.000 40% of Canadian manufacturing.
00:18:29.000 That's not enough.
00:18:30.000 We need more.
00:18:31.000 And 70% of that, 40%, is bound to do that in the next two years.
00:18:35.000 Yeah.
00:18:36.000 So that's just incredible.
00:18:37.000 So if we saw something like this happening in China, for example, if China collapsed, Which it's very much poised to do because of basically what's happened in their real estate market.
00:18:48.000 They've had this tremendous real estate bubble where people are investing in apartments and in cities that nobody lives in, right?
00:18:56.000 And there's a whole cultural reason for that.
00:18:58.000 But that's all collapsing as well, as well at the same time as all this.
00:19:02.000 So if there was a power struggle, that'd be really bad for China.
00:19:05.000 And like you said, Tim, good for Canada or good for America.
00:19:08.000 It would actually be bad for Canada too, because Canada's been, I mean, obviously Canada's not like buddy-buddy with China, but they've been moving towards China and away from the U.S. as the.
00:19:20.000 Tensions with the United States has been going on for much longer than it has.
00:19:23.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:19:24.000 So, like a lot of Canadian conservatives will say, well, you know, Trudeau brought us closer to China.
00:19:30.000 It was Stephen Harper that came before that who brought along the Trans Pacific Partnership.
00:19:35.000 This is like another free trade agreement like NAFTA or the North American free trade agreements.
00:19:41.000 And it would, but it was focused on Asia.
00:19:43.000 So, to bring basically what Canada did and Mexico did to take away jobs from America, China was trying to do to Canada.
00:19:51.000 And it was just absurd, right?
00:19:51.000 Yeah.
00:19:53.000 But that happened under a conservative.
00:19:54.000 This happened.
00:19:55.000 Over 15 years ago, right?
00:19:57.000 So that happened.
00:19:57.000 Okay.
00:19:58.000 And then Justin Trudeau came in, it accelerated it.
00:20:01.000 And then now, under Mark Carney, he's doing that, but plus Europe now, which is just bonkers.
00:20:07.000 So Canada is China's second largest trading partner after the U.S., about 100 billion or more in annual two way trade.
00:20:07.000 Yeah.
00:20:14.000 Canada exports canola, lumber, potash, seafood, pork, and increasingly energy.
00:20:19.000 China buys it all in huge volumes.
00:20:21.000 In January 2026, new PM Mark Carney flew to Beijing, his first major foreign trip, and signed a strategic.
00:20:26.000 Partnership roadmap to expand those ties, including energy, clean tech, and market access deals.
00:20:31.000 Canada essentially ran toward China at the exact moment the US China trade war was heating up, partly a hedge against Trump's tariffs, partly desperation.
00:20:39.000 It's pure desperation.
00:20:40.000 Listen to this.
00:20:40.000 This is crazy.
00:20:43.000 In mid 2026, KPMG asked 275 Canadian manufacturers 29% had already moved some or all production to the United States, 13% were planning on moving.
00:20:54.000 Combined, 42% had moved or were planning to move.
00:20:58.000 57% had paused, cut, or canceled Canadian manufacturing.
00:21:03.000 Is this because of the tariffs?
00:21:04.000 Largely?
00:21:04.000 No, no.
00:21:05.000 So, well, it's partly because it's due to tariffs.
00:21:09.000 Well, it is a lot because of the tariffs.
00:21:12.000 But here's the thing.
00:21:13.000 So, you have to look at Canada and how it actually came to be and why so much manufacturing from the United States moved to Canada in the first place.
00:21:21.000 You mentioned it, it was after the Second World War.
00:21:24.000 So many nations were razed to the ground.
00:21:26.000 So, the United States did a very charitable thing.
00:21:29.000 You know, the United States has had the Monroe Doctrine for a very long time.
00:21:32.000 Let's take care of ourselves.
00:21:33.000 Let's keep our manufacturing base in America because that was its strength, right?
00:21:38.000 Canada took advantage of the situation that Europe, a lot of European countries had with the United States with lowering trade barriers.
00:21:46.000 So America said, come on in, you can bring your products in, and we'll help you out by basically having the most lucrative economy on the planet accessible to you at no cost, right?
00:21:59.000 So that's fantastic.
00:22:01.000 And what did all these nations do right immediately as soon as they started getting a bit of success?
00:22:06.000 Well, they started putting trade barriers and restrictions of their own.
00:22:10.000 And Canada has been one of the worst players in this whole thing.
00:22:14.000 And this is where Donald Trump said this, let's just be honest.
00:22:18.000 He said this to the whole world.
00:22:20.000 He didn't come out and say to Canada only and Canada specific.
00:22:24.000 A lot of people in Canada want to believe that, but it wasn't the case.
00:22:28.000 He said to everyone in the world, Listen, we're going to reassert the Monroe Doctrine.
00:22:32.000 We want our manufacturing to come back.
00:22:34.000 We want to reshore.
00:22:35.000 But at the same time, we also, there's, you know, you have access to the world's biggest economy at no cost.
00:22:42.000 There needs to be a cost.
00:22:43.000 You can move your manufacturing here and there's no tariffs, or you can stay in your home country, but there's a barrier to entry into it.
00:22:53.000 There's a ticket price.
00:22:54.000 And that after negotiations, every country got 10%.
00:22:58.000 And just recently in the negotiations with Canada, they were offered less than 10%.
00:23:03.000 They were offered like 7%, possibly 5%.
00:23:06.000 We don't know because Mark Carney won't say what the details are.
00:23:09.000 But on a political move, he just, like, literally at the last minute, backed out.
00:23:16.000 One of the issues I take with trade with Canada is that aluminum manufacturing is the greatest example of, I'm sorry, refineries.
00:23:25.000 Canada doesn't have bauxite mines.
00:23:28.000 We don't need to get that from Canada.
00:23:29.000 And the argument is the labor is cheaper and their energy costs are cheaper.
00:23:32.000 This is not correct.
00:23:34.000 The real issue is that we would have to build these refineries, which would cost us money.
00:23:41.000 When I hear this argument and they say, well, the issue is that energy is cheaper in Canada, that's just technically correct because we haven't built.
00:23:48.000 The systems by which we can power these refineries.
00:23:51.000 You get hydroelectric, you get solar, or you get some low cost energy.
00:23:55.000 We can run refineries with our own bauxite from Louisiana.
00:23:59.000 We intentionally gave, and I believe this was trade negotiations intentionally, okay, Canada, we're going to give you manufacturing to guarantee you have a trade with the United States so that it'll help your economy.
00:24:10.000 And it goes even beyond that.
00:24:11.000 So it's this idea of globalism, the idea of moving some of your manufacturing to other countries so that you become dependent on those other countries.
00:24:21.000 Exactly.
00:24:22.000 And this is the liberal economic order after World War II said, create trade dependencies, prevent war.
00:24:28.000 And it doesn't actually work.
00:24:30.000 What we need to do is what's called a refactor of our economic strategy.
00:24:33.000 We can't pull out.
00:24:35.000 It's impossible to extricate our global economy because they intentionally intertwine the economy so that we can't undo it.
00:24:43.000 They basically made a chemical reaction that can't be undone.
00:24:45.000 They burned us together with the foreign countries to try and create this unimind, this global system.
00:24:50.000 But what we can do is refactor it.
00:24:51.000 Refactoring in coding is when you.
00:24:53.000 Change the software code in the back end, but what the players see, nothing changes in the game.
00:24:58.000 You can't tell, but the entire back end was rewritten.
00:25:01.000 So we can rewrite our economic strategy and rewrite the way that we build things with like modern industrial factories and stuff without losing any of the output.
00:25:15.000 But we need to really get on how we're going to refactor out of the global conundrum.
00:25:24.000 Unless you guys want to rely on foreign countries, if you want a global economy, which we can do, I don't see a real downside to a global economy.
00:25:31.000 There's a lot of upside to it.
00:25:33.000 I think American hegemony is important because I like the Bill of Rights.
00:25:36.000 As long as we can hold on to that, I think a global economy is a great idea.
00:25:39.000 But I don't want corporations overseeing who gets to say what.
00:25:43.000 I just think I learned a powerful lesson in economics and policy.
00:25:50.000 There is no reality where the noble hegemonic power, Creates a trade balance like this liberal economic order idea, and then all the countries of the world hold hands and sing songs under a rainbow.
00:26:02.000 When the United States becomes this hegemonic power, but they decide to use soft power and negotiate and go with economic strategy, we'll create trade dependencies.
00:26:11.000 What happens?
00:26:11.000 Canada rips us off.
00:26:13.000 What happens?
00:26:13.000 China rips us off.
00:26:14.000 We did all this trade with China.
00:26:16.000 You get these 50 years of liberal economic order policy where they say, we're going to send our factories overseas to China, create dependencies, and then there won't be war.
00:26:24.000 What does China do?
00:26:25.000 They're militarizing.
00:26:26.000 They're expanding their control of the South China Sea.
00:26:28.000 They're sinking civilian ships in the region.
00:26:30.000 They're claiming it belongs to their country.
00:26:33.000 And the funniest thing is they draw dotted lines around it when they put it on in their media, which we don't do that with our ocean, like with our coastlines.
00:26:41.000 We don't draw dotted lines to make sure.
00:26:42.000 They're doing it because they're asserting it to you culturally.
00:26:45.000 So these ideas, we're going to create a dependency and then we won't go to war.
00:26:49.000 And then we get ripped off by every single country as they laugh all the way to the bank.
00:26:53.000 And then what happens?
00:26:54.000 China militarizes.
00:26:56.000 They say, We win.
00:26:56.000 They grow.
00:26:58.000 You have no power.
00:26:59.000 Don't fight us.
00:27:01.000 What was the point of negotiating in this way and trying to be this soft power trade friend?
00:27:07.000 I'm stronger than you, so I'll be nice.
00:27:09.000 Then they go behind the scenes and whisper the moment we get a chance, the knife goes in the back.
00:27:13.000 Absolutely.
00:27:13.000 It's very much the metaphor of if we offload our intelligence onto AI systems, then the AI system would be the China in this situation.
00:27:22.000 Then where's our intelligence reside?
00:27:23.000 In some foreign corporations' intelligence systems.
00:27:26.000 If we offload our value into another system, then how do you ever get it back without restarting?
00:27:32.000 Every other society, aside from Western civilization, looks at the world through realpolitik, right?
00:27:39.000 It's all real politics.
00:27:42.000 What is best for your country?
00:27:43.000 What is best for your people?
00:27:45.000 That's what you do.
00:27:46.000 And if it means that you deceive other people, then that's what you do.
00:27:50.000 And that's the way the whole world, save for Europe and the United States and Canada and New Zealand and Australia, that's the way that the whole world behaves.
00:28:00.000 And to be honest with you, at the very least, even if the United States doesn't want to behave like that, they should, the politicians that make deals with other countries, they should behave as if that is the way that they are going to behave.
00:28:14.000 They should know.
00:28:16.000 They should go into any negotiation.
00:28:19.000 Knowing that they're going to try to screw you.
00:28:22.000 Well, I think it's true that you should prioritize and be willing to deceive to protect your citizens, but also sometimes the best way to help your citizens is to build a water well in Afghanistan, is to help the other countries that actually empowers your citizens.
00:28:36.000 So you never know.
00:28:37.000 Sometimes it's to deceive the other countries.
00:28:39.000 I think it should be the primary motive.
00:28:40.000 I'm just saying this.
00:28:42.000 The point that I'm making is that the politicians that are doing foreign policy, that are working with other countries, they should make sure that it should be people that understand.
00:28:52.000 That you cannot take other countries, especially from other societies, at their word.
00:28:57.000 But here's the important thing that everyone needs to understand.
00:28:59.000 I see this question Ian, when did slavery end?
00:29:01.000 Oh, God, it still exists.
00:29:02.000 Exactly.
00:29:03.000 And who benefits from that slavery?
00:29:05.000 Slavers, I mean, corporations, big time in the modern day.
00:29:07.000 Who benefits from that slavery?
00:29:09.000 We do now because we're at telephones.
00:29:12.000 We do, indeed.
00:29:13.000 So the people who are mining sulfur where their teeth fall out of their mouths because we need sulfur for electronic components and medical stuff, go to any one of these lefties who's like, healthcare is a human right, and be like, how many slaves should die to make that MRI machine, do you think?
00:29:26.000 They're gonna be like, what are you talking about?
00:29:27.000 It's like, listen, man, you live off the backs of slaves in foreign countries.
00:29:33.000 I get it.
00:29:34.000 I'm not saying it's good, but I don't understand how there is a world that doesn't exist without people who are low skill, low comprehension, and they wanna do whatever work they can to trade.
00:29:50.000 So if there's a guy with an IQ of 77 and he lives in some, you know, Middle Eastern country or Central Asian country, What job can he do?
00:30:02.000 And so, what happens is these big corporations come and they say, Look, we'll give you a quarter per hour, a quarter per hour to go mine that sulfur.
00:30:08.000 It's the only thing you can really do.
00:30:10.000 And what we've heard for a long time is, and I'm not ascribing morality to this, neither condemning nor condoning, although not a lot of people would condemn it.
00:30:16.000 There's an interesting question.
00:30:18.000 When you go to these people who are mining the sulfur, their teeth fall out of their mouths.
00:30:22.000 They shove rags in their mouths because we need these, and like cobalt too, for instance, or lithium, right?
00:30:29.000 In Afghanistan?
00:30:30.000 Cobalt in Africa, yeah.
00:30:31.000 Cobalt in Africa.
00:30:32.000 These people.
00:30:33.000 They're not going to be managers.
00:30:36.000 They're not even going to be farmers.
00:30:37.000 The one thing they can do is they can go collect the rocks from the quarry.
00:30:40.000 And when you give them, say, a quarter per hour, that means they get a whole cheeseburger every hour they work.
00:30:46.000 And to them, that's a rarity.
00:30:48.000 It's hard to come by.
00:30:49.000 You're not going to take this person and bring them to a SF, you know, AI company and say, help us train the AI.
00:30:56.000 They're going to be like, what?
00:30:58.000 I don't even know math.
00:31:00.000 And so what you end up with is companies seek the opportunity to find this labor.
00:31:05.000 I wouldn't call it slave labor, but there is slave labor for sure, where you have countries that basically enslave their people.
00:31:11.000 And the government then trades the materials.
00:31:13.000 And then we act like we're not involved in the slave trade because, well, we just bought it from the government, right?
00:31:18.000 The slave trade is so much closer to home, though.
00:31:20.000 It's happening right in Canada, right under everybody's nose.
00:31:24.000 The United Nations did a report, I think, a year and a half ago, where they said that slavery is actually occurring in Canada right now.
00:31:24.000 It's crazy.
00:31:31.000 Like labor slavery.
00:31:33.000 They have a temporary foreign worker program where they bring people in, and a majority of them come from like one place in Pakistan, not Pakistan, sorry, in Punjab, in India.
00:31:33.000 Yeah.
00:31:45.000 And they're bringing them over under these fake auspices of just coming in temporarily.
00:31:51.000 But they're telling these people, you're going to come to Canada and you're going to have a brand new life and it's going to be the Western world.
00:31:57.000 It's going to be fantastic.
00:31:59.000 But meanwhile, they're all just in like Brampton, Ontario, right?
00:32:02.000 Yeah, but how much you want to bet these people are like, this is great.
00:32:05.000 No, no, no.
00:32:06.000 These people are literally stacked like 12 to a house and put in like voluntary disagreement.
00:32:14.000 So they're brought there and then told they can't leave.
00:32:17.000 So, it's indentured servitude, right?
00:32:21.000 But the point I'm making is when you go to a Central Asian country where a guy is eating dirt and say, I'll give you two cheeseburgers per day if you go in mine.
00:32:33.000 Oh, the incentives are totally there.
00:32:35.000 Oh, thank God.
00:32:36.000 If you said to somebody, I'm going to take you out of this Central Asian country and bring you to Ontario where you're going to work 20 hours a day, but.
00:32:47.000 There's clean running water.
00:32:48.000 There's air conditioning.
00:32:49.000 You're going to live in a dorm room with 12 other guys, and they're like, only 12?
00:32:53.000 Wow.
00:32:54.000 And you're going to have four cheeseburgers.
00:32:56.000 This is the issue that people need to understand as it pertains to how the world works.
00:33:00.000 Again, neither condemning nor condoning, just pointing it out.
00:33:05.000 So, when we had the sweatshop debates over the past 30 years, and everyone's like, this shoe company or whichever shoe company is paying like 10 cents an hour to these kids to make the shoes.
00:33:14.000 So, the activists get those factories shut down, and the people in the country were upset about it.
00:33:19.000 Because they were so much worse off when exactly now there's no job.
00:33:22.000 That being said, I'd much prefer we make the shoes here in America pay an American wage and the shoes are more expensive.
00:33:29.000 My point is, I obviously have my opinions on other stuff, I think it's bad.
00:33:34.000 What I'm saying is, if you go to these countries and you tell them you're getting ripped off, they'll like, please don't take it from me.
00:33:40.000 Like, I'll give you an example Ukraine.
00:33:42.000 There are people, so I, having traveled to Ukraine, having friends there, people who are getting paid to do development, like code, and they get paid a third of what an American gets paid.
00:33:53.000 And they were happier than pigs in ish because they were getting paid more, three times more than the average Ukrainian to do this dev work.
00:34:02.000 And when you tell them, you know, in America, they get paid three times this, they go, Well, I don't live in America.
00:34:05.000 I'm not American.
00:34:07.000 Yeah, but I mean, they could pay you more and say, Hey, look, man, don't take this from me.
00:34:11.000 Like, I'm living really well right now, please.
00:34:13.000 So there's this attitude where the left would say it's exploitation and then take from them something they desperately need or want because they don't have the same standard of living as we do.
00:34:22.000 My attitude is stop hiring foreign workers.
00:34:25.000 When you can hire American workers at higher wages and we could strengthen our economy.
00:34:28.000 And because of the outsourcing to these other countries to lift up their standard of living, even at a lower cost, corporations have extracted value from the American labor market, sent the value overseas, and they've been bankrupting us over a long period of time.
00:34:40.000 That's another confirmation.
00:34:41.000 We don't need Indian coders anymore.
00:34:43.000 We don't need coders at all.
00:34:44.000 Sorry, coders.
00:34:45.000 You just got to learn how to design.
00:34:47.000 I mean, we have machines.
00:34:48.000 You know what I really love about it is just like H1B is like, yeah.
00:34:52.000 Goodbye.
00:34:52.000 A huge sector was people coming in and just doing the mule work, writing the code.
00:34:57.000 They read the design element from the review team, and then they'd.
00:35:00.000 Remember that?
00:35:01.000 Remember that company that claimed to be AI app development, but it was just 500 Indian dudes?
00:35:01.000 I don't need them anymore.
00:35:01.000 Remember that?
00:35:06.000 No, no.
00:35:07.000 Yeah, yeah, you remember that one, right, Phil?
00:35:08.000 Yep.
00:35:09.000 It was like this company, and it was like, we use AI to code your apps.
00:35:12.000 Just you submit to us the app you want to build, and then we'll have the AI build it.
00:35:15.000 But it was actually just a bunch of Indian guys.
00:35:16.000 I want to find out.
00:35:17.000 Oh, easily.
00:35:18.000 I could run an app design and development company.
00:35:20.000 It would cost me $6,000 a month to run like 30 apps a month.
00:35:24.000 I'm going to stress this right now.
00:35:25.000 This is new stuff.
00:35:28.000 The Astra and Fable, like latest releases in AI.
00:35:33.000 The switch has been flicked.
00:35:34.000 Yeah.
00:35:34.000 Because before these two models, literally three weeks ago, this stuff was not possible in this way.
00:35:39.000 We still need mining because you need whatever humans do, you still need humans to go do the physical, move the atoms around.
00:35:46.000 That's something Elon Musk was explaining it.
00:35:48.000 But anything digital, I mean, technically it's still atoms moving around, but anything digital, man, is just gone.
00:35:54.000 Yeah, but you can do things like you can separate people from the actual physical task.
00:35:59.000 So a lot of mining operations, they're going manless now.
00:36:04.000 So, they have excavators that go underground and they're manned from an office way up top.
00:36:10.000 And one guy can, instead of running one dump truck, they could have one guy running a fleet of dump trucks because he's only necessary for the intricate part of that operation.
00:36:22.000 The rest of the drive is just autopilot.
00:36:24.000 Ah, bro, everyone's going to be Homer Simpson, right?
00:36:27.000 What's going to happen is you're going to have a fleet of dump trucks and you're going to be sitting there eating donuts and there's going to be that bird drinking the water.
00:36:32.000 And they're going to be like, your job is to look at the screen and if it turns red, just press the button.
00:36:36.000 It's like, okay, and it's never going to turn red.
00:36:38.000 And that just means like one of the dump trucks got stuck in an intersection or something, and you need to tell somebody.
00:36:43.000 Now, the argument there is that, you know, and we heard this years ago when the Industrial Revolution happened.
00:36:51.000 You had the aristocracy or the thinkers of the time saying, well, we're going to have all these useless eaters.
00:36:59.000 You know, when they mechanized farming, we're going to have all these useless eaters.
00:37:02.000 What are we going to do with the people?
00:37:04.000 Well, they all found different shit to do, actually.
00:37:07.000 And they opened up new markets in the economy.
00:37:10.000 I actually don't agree with that.
00:37:11.000 You don't.
00:37:12.000 No, no, no, no.
00:37:13.000 Yeah, no.
00:37:14.000 The idea that it's like, oh, people will find new things to do.
00:37:18.000 What were those new things they found to do?
00:37:22.000 What are some examples of the new things?
00:37:23.000 So, since the Industrial Revolution, when people were occupied with homemaking and labor, we have seen a dramatic escalation in cultural endeavors that have been.
00:37:36.000 I don't necessarily want to say degenerate because not all of it is completely morally degenerate.
00:37:41.000 Rock and roll.
00:37:42.000 But as time goes on, The services that people are creating in an effort to do something of value have largely been bad, have largely been degenerate.
00:37:54.000 And it's a gradient, right?
00:37:57.000 So you can say, all right, well.
00:37:58.000 Not as a result of mechanization of farming, right?
00:38:01.000 Well, as a component, yes, right?
00:38:02.000 So we used to all have to work every day.
00:38:05.000 And we didn't, it was our jobs.
00:38:08.000 So you were a farmer, you might be a tailor or a luthier, perhaps.
00:38:15.000 There was something you made or did for the people around you.
00:38:19.000 And then we mechanized, and all of a sudden there were extra people who didn't have to do anything.
00:38:23.000 There's some good that came out of this in that more specialties opened the door to rapid expansion of technology.
00:38:30.000 The only thing is, there's more people than there are specialties.
00:38:35.000 Today is the best example.
00:38:36.000 I'll go back in time and just say the emergence of the rapid expansion of arts and movies began a rapid cultural degradation.
00:38:45.000 And I'm not saying it's completely bad, but it changed this country in crazy ways, where you end up with the rise of communism.
00:38:54.000 Not that long after we have industrialization, because now you have young people who have extreme wealth for minimal labor.
00:39:01.000 Whereas, what is it?
00:39:01.000 Was it idle hands at the devil's playground?
00:39:04.000 People with nothing to do feel purposeless.
00:39:08.000 And today you can see the exponential explosion of this.
00:39:12.000 So, again, go back to the time of industrialization, and it's a relief for a lot of people.
00:39:17.000 But why?
00:39:17.000 Because those people were the blossomed flowers of manual labor.
00:39:21.000 The society back then were people who understood the value of hard work and got relief.
00:39:26.000 They said, holy crap.
00:39:27.000 Not everybody.
00:39:28.000 Some people did lose their jobs.
00:39:29.000 The Luddites were very angry about all of this and it got violent.
00:39:33.000 But for a lot of people that grew up on hard work, the relief through industrialization was like, wow, I'm making more money.
00:39:40.000 Like, what can I do?
00:39:41.000 Well, they had children.
00:39:42.000 Those children grew up with no purpose.
00:39:44.000 We used to have purpose.
00:39:45.000 It was like, I got to wake up.
00:39:46.000 I got to tend to the chickens.
00:39:47.000 If I don't, who will?
00:39:48.000 Otherwise, we die.
00:39:49.000 And that purpose meant something.
00:39:51.000 Now, what we're seeing is everybody desperate to be an influencer, which is the extreme end.
00:39:55.000 Because again, I'll say this.
00:39:57.000 Immediately after industrialization, it's not like the end of the world because it's just kicking off.
00:40:01.000 But as this spreads and expands, you now have a massive country of people who would rather be YouTubers than astronauts.
00:40:08.000 That was the poll they did of, I think it was what, Gen Z?
00:40:11.000 It's like seven years ago.
00:40:12.000 They said, What do you want to be when you grow up?
00:40:14.000 Chinese kids were like, I want to be an astronaut.
00:40:16.000 I want to go to the stars.
00:40:17.000 And Americans were like, an influencer because there's no purpose anymore.
00:40:21.000 So that's not a real job.
00:40:23.000 That produces no value.
00:40:25.000 I'm going to say this there is again a gradient.
00:40:28.000 Some people speak truth to power, whatever that means, and there is value in enlightening ideas and allowing people to experience thoughts and ideas and even vocabulary they had not experienced before.
00:40:40.000 But that's not true of literally everybody.
00:40:42.000 What's happening now is if you're Gen Z, what job do you have to get right now?
00:40:49.000 And this is a reality for Gen Z. There's very little jobs that are valuable.
00:40:53.000 So, what do they want to do?
00:40:55.000 The easiest thing I can do, I guess, is talk a lot and try and be a character.
00:41:00.000 This is not good for this country that people are like, if I can be the most shocking, people will look at me.
00:41:08.000 It used to be if I could paint the best picture.
00:41:10.000 Cultural, like, artists died broke and their art became value after the fact.
00:41:15.000 Going back in time, artists were not celebrated in the same way.
00:41:18.000 Then you get a group of people that say, you know what?
00:41:20.000 If I'm the best musician that writes inspirational music that makes life worth living, then I'm going to make money.
00:41:26.000 Now it's, I click the button and it's shots, shots, shots, shots.
00:41:30.000 That's not even culturally.
00:41:32.000 Empowering or inspirational.
00:41:34.000 We've gotten to the point where there's way too many people, way too desperate with no purpose.
00:41:34.000 It's degenerate.
00:41:39.000 And the only thing left to do is human emotion.
00:41:43.000 And what I mean by that is to be an influencer right now is.
00:41:48.000 I'll give you a couple examples.
00:41:49.000 Brian Shapiro is a great example.
00:41:51.000 You know Brian?
00:41:52.000 No, I don't.
00:41:53.000 And I say this with Brian knowing I'm.
00:41:56.000 He knows that I criticize him for this, but I do still consider him a friend because I think it's important we tell our friends these things.
00:42:02.000 Brian's.
00:42:03.000 Personality that he is building is based on being the most vitriolic political personality possible.
00:42:10.000 Beat red, screaming, and insulting you over your political views.
00:42:13.000 Because if you are a calm and rationed political commentator, ain't nobody's gonna watch you.
00:42:19.000 You're not embodying the passion that people want to see, striking down a symbol of their oppressor.
00:42:27.000 And you are also not presenting any kind of emotional entertainment outside of what they would normally get at the water cooler.
00:42:36.000 They either want someone to strike that hammer against their oppressor.
00:42:39.000 That's what Brian is doing for the left.
00:42:41.000 Or they want to laugh at you being beat red.
00:42:43.000 So when Brian's screaming, young people are going to watch him and be like, this guy's crazy.
00:42:46.000 You know what I mean?
00:42:47.000 That's not healthy or good for this country.
00:42:50.000 So, one of the things about that is yes, you're right.
00:42:54.000 People are aiming in the wrong direction, but there are jobs.
00:42:58.000 The jobs are actually there.
00:42:59.000 So, I'm a tradesman, Red Seal certified in Canada for automotive repair.
00:43:06.000 There are nobody applying for these jobs.
00:43:11.000 And there are every shop where I've moved from in Squamish, British Columbia, was looking for apprentices.
00:43:19.000 I'm 44.
00:43:21.000 I'm a master.
00:43:21.000 Oh, wow.
00:43:22.000 You guys were like 36.
00:43:23.000 Thank you.
00:43:24.000 Thank you.
00:43:24.000 Well, so I'm a master technician and I love teaching people this stuff, right?
00:43:29.000 And it was great.
00:43:30.000 Any chance we had to have an apprentice, but it was rare to have an apprentice.
00:43:34.000 Back in the day, every technician would have like two apprentices going.
00:43:39.000 One would be on first year, one might be third or fourth year.
00:43:42.000 And that was an ongoing thing.
00:43:45.000 What I think is like there's a serious problem with trying to attract people into.
00:43:53.000 Actual meaningful work, like you were saying.
00:43:55.000 And being a trades person is actual meaningful work, whether you're a mechanic or a plumber or an electrician.
00:44:02.000 And believe me, those jobs pay bank.
00:44:05.000 They do, but does that mean purpose?
00:44:08.000 And what I mean by that is so a younger Gen Z person doesn't feel that if they get a job as an automotive technician, they can go to their friends and say, Look at me, I'm an automotive technician.
00:44:20.000 They're going to be like, How many followers do you have?
00:44:22.000 Because that's the culture and society we built around these systems.
00:44:25.000 You can sort of get away with both.
00:44:26.000 In amalgam, because a lot of people missed the mark and started to think that being an influencer was the end goal.
00:44:31.000 But the question you always have to ask is, What am I influencing people to do?
00:44:34.000 What is my life worth and value?
00:44:36.000 What do I do that is worth showing that influencing people with it?
00:44:40.000 Are you an actor?
00:44:41.000 Are you a mechanic?
00:44:42.000 Do you paint things?
00:44:43.000 Do you write stories?
00:44:44.000 Like, what are you doing that is worth augmenting it with internet video?
00:44:48.000 But nobody thinks that.
00:44:50.000 I hope they start thinking.
00:44:52.000 Nobody who wants to be an influencer.
00:44:53.000 When I say nobody, I'm being hyperbolic, right?
00:44:55.000 Obviously, a few amount of people, like, In fact, Ian, it's one of the only things you, I think, I shouldn't say it like that, but it's something that you very much focus on.
00:45:03.000 What does it mean when we go on this show and say something and how will that impact people down the line?
00:45:08.000 There's very few people who have that self reflection to recognize that what we are saying is going to ripple.
00:45:15.000 They just think, I got a thousand views.
00:45:19.000 And they don't know or care that it's going to result in 12 people rippling that hatred and anger outward and it's going to keep reflecting.
00:45:27.000 Gamify or monetize that understanding.
00:45:27.000 If we could.
00:45:30.000 So, you know, the more good you do for society, the more you're going to get paid on the back end.
00:45:35.000 This is why I was saying, like, I'm done being angry.
00:45:37.000 I'm done with angry people.
00:45:38.000 Obviously, passion will still be there, but I don't think there is value in me going to, you know, like, all day I'm watching these liberal, you know, shorts and Instagram posts and videos, and they're just nasty people because they're like, this is how you get attention.
00:45:54.000 And I'm like, well, when you go online and you say, you know, you call someone, see you next Tuesday.
00:46:00.000 Like I did, all that does is make that person reflect that back and all of their followers reflect that back.
00:46:07.000 And it comes back tenfold, not just to me, but everybody around me.
00:46:09.000 And that's why I did apologize for that twice, in fact.
00:46:13.000 But that apology doesn't even matter.
00:46:15.000 And it's not some cancel culture apology.
00:46:17.000 I have no reason to do that.
00:46:18.000 Like, no one's going to come to my job because I just said it's ungentlemanly.
00:46:22.000 And especially now, I'm like, that insult will hit somebody.
00:46:28.000 They will amplify it to their benefit.
00:46:31.000 I'm the victim or whatever it may be.
00:46:33.000 Then it's going to ripple against a whole bunch of other people who are going to amplify it.
00:46:36.000 And that one word is going to reflect back on millions of people.
00:46:39.000 And I'm like, that's just a bad day.
00:46:41.000 Yeah.
00:46:42.000 So I don't think I'm going to be the one who can change all that.
00:46:45.000 But I will tell you this I tweeted, I'm done being angry.
00:46:47.000 And Elon Musk responded, I'm not.
00:46:50.000 And that says a lot coming from the guy who owns the platform, who is directing how its algorithm decides who gets seen.
00:46:56.000 I hope his, I want to hang with him, man.
00:46:59.000 I hope he doesn't let anger.
00:47:01.000 Elon, if it's clouding your judgment, homie, we got your back, bro.
00:47:04.000 We're building out the ultimate corporate governance system with X. You're going to be okay.
00:47:08.000 Your son's going to be fine.
00:47:09.000 Things are going to work out.
00:47:11.000 We're here with you.
00:47:13.000 Let's go crazy and we'll jump to this story from Defense One.
00:47:17.000 The Pentagon must prepare for battles around the moon.
00:47:20.000 Yeah.
00:47:21.000 Joint Chiefs Chair.
00:47:22.000 Days after orbital weapons were revealed, General Dan Kane ups the scope of the military's desired reach.
00:47:32.000 See, what people need to understand is that when the colonists came from any nation to this land, they did not come here in exploratory vehicles with smiles on their faces.
00:47:42.000 They brought weapons with them.
00:47:44.000 They intended for there to be a potential for conflict.
00:47:48.000 And I don't mean Christopher Columbus accidentally landing in the Bahamas thinking he was in India.
00:47:52.000 I mean, the colonists who are like, hey, we're going to come to the moon, we know there's people there.
00:47:57.000 We're going to fight.
00:47:59.000 We go to the moon.
00:48:02.000 You better expect a fight.
00:48:03.000 Oh, yeah, ballistics and lasers.
00:48:04.000 I mean, you're going to need to penetrate metal armor in space with ballistics, and you're also going to need to be able to penetrate magnetic field shields with lasers.
00:48:12.000 Like, you'll use lasers to melt metal in space, but if they have shields, you'll have to use ballistics to get through the shield.
00:48:21.000 The shields will block the shield.
00:48:22.000 We are not going to have the direct.
00:48:25.000 Energy weapons capable of melting mountains.
00:48:28.000 Oh, we will.
00:48:29.000 Ian, think about it.
00:48:30.000 We've got a lot of heat in space.
00:48:31.000 Hold on, hold on.
00:48:32.000 If you're talking about large scale lunar base artillery with massive solar generators that can point an infrared laser and hold it, sure.
00:48:44.000 But if you're talking about US vessels and orbital satellites, they're not.
00:48:47.000 It's all going to be ballistic at first.
00:48:48.000 No, it's all going to be shooting bullets and stuff.
00:48:50.000 Bringing armor into space?
00:48:53.000 You're going to try and shoot satellites.
00:48:54.000 Yeah, but you're not going to armor these things.
00:48:58.000 Right?
00:48:58.000 Because armor is literally just dead weight.
00:49:01.000 Yeah, it's going to be hard to get into space.
00:49:02.000 You might have like a satellite that orbits around a satellite that is like an armored dome.
00:49:07.000 But no, everything about getting into space is weight versus thrust.
00:49:15.000 You don't like that's part of the reason.
00:49:17.000 Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:49:18.000 But we will send payloads of raw materials to the moon base.
00:49:22.000 They will then harvest materials from the moon and armor after the fact.
00:49:25.000 But that's going to, that's, you know, decades out.
00:49:28.000 Because you're not going to bring armor up.
00:49:31.000 Like, you're not going to art.
00:49:32.000 No, no, no, no.
00:49:33.000 I actually think you're right.
00:49:35.000 And I correct my earlier assessment.
00:49:38.000 Ian's right about the directed energy weapons.
00:49:41.000 Sending ordnance to space is ridiculous.
00:49:44.000 If they are able to only have to set up energy harvesting and they can use infrared lasers to overheat, not even melt the metal, but if your vessel is orbiting and they point at it, they can start a fire.
00:49:57.000 Yeah, send it off track, maybe knock it out of the.
00:49:59.000 But you need both because.
00:50:01.000 A blade of armor will protect against ballistics, but if they have like magnetic shields, your lasers won't be able to melt them properly.
00:50:07.000 I'm just waiting for rods from God already.
00:50:08.000 I'm so bored, you know.
00:50:10.000 Are we literally talking about building the Death Star here?
00:50:12.000 You know what they're called?
00:50:14.000 Arming Space Force.
00:50:15.000 Is that what it's at now?
00:50:16.000 We're militarizing space.
00:50:17.000 They already did.
00:50:18.000 So, when it comes to this stuff, though, like big armor is not something that's going to protect you in space.
00:50:22.000 Well, against ballistics, it will.
00:50:24.000 When you look at it, like what does it take to survive in space?
00:50:27.000 It's some intricate equipment.
00:50:29.000 So, all you got to do is flick the most vulnerable point on that.
00:50:33.000 So, you just have to, you know.
00:50:35.000 Honestly, you could take out a spaceman with a crowbar.
00:50:38.000 Yeah, but not only that, Ian, I also want to stress they could use centripetal force cannons because the friction is so low and the gravity is light.
00:50:49.000 They can just effectively wind up and throw slings.
00:50:52.000 Yeah, no, I'm not.
00:50:52.000 This is not Joe Rogan.
00:50:53.000 They can take a whole.
00:50:54.000 Another form of.
00:50:55.000 They can take a moon rock and put it in a sling.
00:50:57.000 If you've played, like, games, you'll know most games have it split up.
00:51:01.000 So you have your armor, your hull damage you can take, your armor, and then you have your shields.
00:51:05.000 And shields can go down if they're overloaded, but generally they'll protect against lasers.
00:51:09.000 Right now, there's.
00:51:10.000 Money for charity says Gundams.
00:51:12.000 Yeah.
00:51:12.000 We're going to build gigantic Iron Man robots to fly around space with swords.
00:51:16.000 That is the coolest idea, but, I mean, again, like, it's all of the.
00:51:21.000 Everything right now, the reason they can't get like massive, or the reason they don't bring massive things into space is because every pound you have to have a certain amount of rocket fuel to get it into space.
00:51:33.000 Yeah, you can't.
00:51:34.000 Are you going to be here on Friday?
00:51:35.000 Yeah.
00:51:36.000 Because Dave, the Flat Earth guy, and Alex Stein are going to be here.
00:51:38.000 Okay, good.
00:51:40.000 Okay, good.
00:51:42.000 Let's have that conversation.
00:51:43.000 But you're right.
00:51:44.000 You either need a space elevator, which they're making advancements on the tether.
00:51:47.000 They think they might have a graphene tether so you could start elevating stuff up in orbit, or you got to build it in orbit.
00:51:52.000 And that's what drone construction will be for.
00:51:54.000 Swarm construction, you'll unleash like 70,000 drones that all work in an organized pattern to build this thing really fast in a low gravity.
00:52:01.000 Right now, the goal or the most likely plan is Starship.
00:52:08.000 That's what Musk is talking about.
00:52:10.000 I just saw the other day he was talking about 10,000 flights a year of Starship, right?
00:52:14.000 From obviously multiple bases, but that's like, I forget what the math was, but it's like 70 or 80 a day.
00:52:21.000 Is that just to transport materials?
00:52:24.000 Just to get material into space to build a moon base, yeah.
00:52:28.000 Let me stress this point.
00:52:29.000 We have 8 billion people, and if we could efficiently have these people do labor, I mean, like properly managed, we wouldn't just go to the moon.
00:52:39.000 We'd terraform every planet in our solar system and then some.
00:52:42.000 The issue is some 80% of humans are not specialized, and so many of them are doing nothing.
00:52:50.000 We're providing food and resources through charities and through education, but these people haven't been specialized for key tasks.
00:52:57.000 You need to prioritize their compute.
00:52:59.000 And you need them to organize their compute.
00:53:00.000 So, you need people just like AIs that you spin up.
00:53:03.000 You need them to be doing something valuable, spending their thought power on completing, and you need them to be able to communicate with other humans accurately so that other humans know what they're doing.
00:53:13.000 Otherwise, you get overlap of work and you have to undo stuff.
00:53:16.000 And if we can do that with the human race, which I do with AI every day.
00:53:19.000 I think this is one of the reasons why Elon wants AI so badly.
00:53:24.000 It's a handful of things.
00:53:25.000 It's going to help rapidly develop technologies that are needed, it's going to control many of these vehicles and ships without human input, meaning.
00:53:34.000 They can start ferrying.
00:53:36.000 Like the thing that people do now with vibe coding, imagine doing that with terraforming Mars, where you're like, look, here's the Optimus bots, here's the space station.
00:53:43.000 We need enough supplies for 6,000 humans to live 60 years.
00:53:46.000 Go do it.
00:53:47.000 And you don't need to plan.
00:53:49.000 The machine does it in the most efficient way.
00:53:52.000 But one of the other reasons is that the AI is going to make efficient the human labor.
00:53:59.000 And the example that I gave a few years ago, one of the future visions I have for this is there will be an app, and it'll be called like, The job app or something, Jobber.
00:54:10.000 And you'll open it up and you'll be like, I need work today.
00:54:13.000 And you'll say, Hey, I'm looking for a job.
00:54:15.000 The AI will say, Here's a job that's available.
00:54:19.000 And it'll go like this.
00:54:21.000 Let me pull this thing.
00:54:22.000 It'll say, Walk down to 7th and L and grab this cube from this man.
00:54:28.000 And it's Ian holding a cube.
00:54:30.000 And you go, I accept.
00:54:32.000 And then you walk down the street, doop, doop, doop.
00:54:34.000 There's Ian.
00:54:35.000 He walks up and he goes, This is for you.
00:54:36.000 And you go, What is it?
00:54:37.000 And he goes, No idea.
00:54:38.000 You go, Me neither.
00:54:39.000 Then you look at the app and it goes, Ding, $50.
00:54:41.000 And then it goes, Now, for the next $50, deliver it to this address three blocks away.
00:54:46.000 And you go, Sure.
00:54:47.000 You knock on the door, and there's a guy, and he goes, You got the thing?
00:54:49.000 Here you go.
00:54:49.000 I got the thing.
00:54:50.000 That's it.
00:54:50.000 I'm done.
00:54:51.000 You made a hundred bucks in 20 minutes.
00:54:52.000 You have no idea what you did or how it affects anything.
00:54:55.000 But the AI was building something.
00:54:58.000 You didn't need to know what it was building.
00:55:00.000 What's more efficient?
00:55:01.000 Calling a courier, having that courier ride his bike to the stop, pick it up, ride it to your ratchet, and drop it off.
00:55:08.000 Or the factory that made it hands it to a guy who's already walking down the street, who hands it to a lady who's crossing the street, who hands it to you as you're walking towards that building.
00:55:17.000 It's basically finding all the gaps in energy and transmission.
00:55:20.000 The AI will do it much faster and more efficiently.
00:55:23.000 Now, it's the McDonald's method on steroids.
00:55:26.000 In the founder, that's a great movie, by the way.
00:55:29.000 Ray Kroc.
00:55:30.000 He goes, Kroc goes to the McDonald's and he's like, I'll take a burger, fries, and a shake.
00:55:34.000 And the guy goes, Here you go.
00:55:35.000 And he goes, What's this?
00:55:36.000 It's like, It's your food.
00:55:37.000 And he goes, No, I just ordered.
00:55:38.000 And he goes, And here it is.
00:55:40.000 How's that possible?
00:55:41.000 And the owners were like, Instead of hiring a cook and a waiter, we hired 20 people to all do one little easy thing.
00:55:49.000 Because you can train one person to flip a piece of meat easy, you can train one person to squirt, squirt ketchup easy.
00:55:54.000 Training them to do all of it takes time.
00:55:56.000 When the AI goes to some dude, some sub Saharan African guy, who doesn't even know what the cube is, but he can pick it up and he can put it down, they've just monetized an action that was otherwise unmonetizable.
00:56:10.000 They have extracted value from an individual who otherwise would not provide value to the system.
00:56:15.000 Think about how much human labor can be extracted if you can simplify it to the point that even an unskilled native indigenous guy in Africa is able to contribute.
00:56:25.000 Yeah, you want.
00:56:26.000 The compute to be valuable too.
00:56:28.000 So you'd have to calculate that because you could get like every sub Saharan African guy to go count the stars in the sky every night and you'll get paid $50.
00:56:35.000 Report the amount you counted and they'll pay you.
00:56:37.000 But it doesn't really add value to the system.
00:56:39.000 They'll say, go find these rocks and it'll be a weird little rock.
00:56:39.000 So no, no, no.
00:56:44.000 And the guy will be like, oh, I see rock.
00:56:46.000 And he grabs it and they carry him around and then they're getting $100 and they're all laughing, jumping up and down because now they have McDonald's cheeseburgers all over the place and they don't know why.
00:56:54.000 Because normally collecting all these rocks from a single individual is you hire a company, they go out, they do surveying.
00:56:59.000 Instead, you tell literally an entire village of people who see those rocks skate around and never care, hey, when you go out to collect pails of water, if you see these, grab them and we'll pay you for it.
00:57:07.000 And they go, okay, I can do that.
00:57:10.000 Yeah, that's probably the best version of a future economy from the tech we have right now.
00:57:15.000 Because otherwise, it's going to be unemployment.
00:57:16.000 Low skill labor will be menial, easy to do.
00:57:19.000 Anyone can do it with no training.
00:57:20.000 The stupidest person can do it.
00:57:22.000 And you don't even know why you're doing it.
00:57:23.000 You don't need to.
00:57:24.000 Some people might have access to know why, others maybe not.
00:57:27.000 They will.
00:57:28.000 And I think the ideal scenario is that.
00:57:31.000 You're allowed to know what it is.
00:57:32.000 You know what I mean?
00:57:33.000 It's like most people won't care though.
00:57:35.000 Exactly.
00:57:36.000 Exactly.
00:57:37.000 And you'll be able to take a person who is functionally retarded and they'll get paid and the pay will be value.
00:57:46.000 It'll be equal value to what they've produced.
00:57:47.000 That's what Henry Ford did a number of years ago, right?
00:57:50.000 I mean, I grew up in Motor City, so Windsor, the Canadian side of Detroit.
00:57:50.000 Yeah.
00:57:55.000 And that's exactly what it was.
00:57:57.000 You know, you have a lot of people that, you know, they do one task on a car.
00:58:01.000 So, you have millions of little tasks that need to be done across a bunch of different factories.
00:58:05.000 But at the end, you get a car every five minutes, right?
00:58:10.000 Like all the input and then the output is this product.
00:58:13.000 Henry Ford had this concept that I don't care how many people it takes.
00:58:18.000 And if I can put out a car every five minutes and I can sell a million cars, I'll be a millionaire.
00:58:23.000 So I only need to make $1 on every car.
00:58:26.000 This is exactly what I'm working on with my Claude brain overhaul.
00:58:29.000 I'm making a multi brain function for AI so you can implement a thousand workers on one project.
00:58:34.000 Have one guy make the steering wheel, one guy makes the horn.
00:58:36.000 Because if they don't communicate properly, the guy who will make the horn will be too big.
00:58:40.000 And then when it's done, they'll be like, we need to build the whole car.
00:58:42.000 There are already apps that do this.
00:58:44.000 I haven't thought about it.
00:58:46.000 They run ads on Fox News where they're like, you can take multiple different agentic AIs and have them connect through one app.
00:58:52.000 So you've got Claude, you've got Astra, you've got Grok, and they work together.
00:58:55.000 I'm not going to pay for it.
00:58:56.000 I'm building it from the ground up.
00:58:57.000 I'm going to make it open source because I want to be able to do it.
00:58:59.000 It's called OpenClaw.
00:59:01.000 It is not as good.
00:59:03.000 I've searched.
00:59:04.000 Not as good as what you're building?
00:59:05.000 Not as good as what I'm building.
00:59:07.000 It wasn't OpenClaw.
00:59:08.000 There's another one that's open source that wasn't as good.
00:59:10.000 OpenClaw's open source.
00:59:11.000 I don't know if OpenClaw does what I need it to do, though.
00:59:13.000 Well, it can run multiple different.
00:59:15.000 Different AIs.
00:59:17.000 I use a bunch of different AIs.
00:59:18.000 Like, I'll spin up five AIs and say, I just want to develop level one of my video game.
00:59:22.000 It'll be like, all right, we're giving level one to one AI because if another one tries to write code alongside it, they're going to overwrite each other on accident, building different.
00:59:28.000 And then when we get the compilation, we're going to have to undo what Claude two did and Claude one.
00:59:33.000 They didn't know what they were doing, they weren't communicating.
00:59:35.000 So I'm building a system so that they can stay in contact.
00:59:38.000 So if you want to build level one, you can have nine different AIs working on nine different parts of level one instead of giving it all to one Claude and waiting two hours for him to finish.
00:59:47.000 It can get done in 20 minutes because 10.
00:59:49.000 People were working on it, like Henry Ford's model.
00:59:51.000 I think OpenClaw can do that right now.
00:59:53.000 I don't know.
00:59:54.000 I got to look into it.
00:59:55.000 But when I did a quick sweep of GitHub looking for free software that did it, it said this one matches, but it's missing two of your 10 priority needs.
01:00:03.000 It wants to be rich.
01:00:03.000 You want to be rich?
01:00:05.000 What about it?
01:00:05.000 It wants to be rich.
01:00:06.000 Everybody wants to be rich.
01:00:07.000 It depends what it's for.
01:00:08.000 I am going to tell someone how to be rich right now for others that are listening.
01:00:14.000 A guaranteed way to make insane amounts of money.
01:00:17.000 You guys ready?
01:00:18.000 I'm building suspense intentionally.
01:00:21.000 How many of you have looked for some kind of app to help you with your work and you found a Git repository that was not with no user interface?
01:00:29.000 I have not yet, no.
01:00:31.000 This happens to me periodically, especially with like media stuff.
01:00:34.000 I'll like, I need an app that can do conversion and it'll be like, here's a Git.
01:00:38.000 And I'll be like, well, I'm not going to run terminal command.
01:00:40.000 Like, I don't.
01:00:41.000 You can use any one of these AIs to make a user interface for any Git repository that is public with no user interface.
01:00:47.000 You could probably do that.
01:00:48.000 Tons of open source programs to help various industries.
01:00:52.000 That were written because a guy who works for a company is like, I'm going to write this protocol or this program so that it helps with the work we do.
01:00:59.000 But then for the layman, they're like, I can't use it without an interface.
01:01:03.000 And they're free, they're open source programs.
01:01:05.000 So you make the interface and then you sell it for a buck.
01:01:08.000 I feel like you could build an AI that all it does is scrape GitHub looking for things that need interfaces and write them for you and then upload them for you.
01:01:15.000 I can do it right now.
01:01:15.000 Walk away.
01:01:16.000 I can do it right now.
01:01:16.000 Any AI to do that for you.
01:01:18.000 Yeah, you can automate it.
01:01:19.000 You don't have to build an AI to do it.
01:01:20.000 You just use an existing AI.
01:01:22.000 It'll write whatever codecs it needs, whatever.
01:01:25.000 It needs, it'll write it all for you, put it on your computer, and then it'll just start building software and uploading.
01:01:30.000 I mean, it's not quick.
01:01:31.000 If with one brain, you know, it could take 20 minutes per interface, but it can still do it.
01:01:39.000 And so it's like, I don't know if it's worth selling because anybody could use an AI to just write their own interface for any app they need.
01:01:45.000 No, not anybody could.
01:01:46.000 Most people are going to say, bro, just this is trade, right?
01:01:52.000 Yes, I could, but if you do, I'll give you a buck.
01:01:54.000 Everybody could be a fireman, but I'm going to call the fireman to get the job done.
01:01:57.000 It's like, bro, I can go to the grocery store and buy everything I need.
01:01:57.000 It's not just that.
01:01:59.000 For a cheeseburger, I make a cheeseburger for a dime.
01:02:02.000 I'd rather just give you a buck for a cheeseburger.
01:02:05.000 Let me not do that.
01:02:07.000 I do the same thing all the time.
01:02:08.000 I'm a certified automotive technician, but I go to Jiffy Lube.
01:02:13.000 I'm not wasting my time with an oil change.
01:02:15.000 Why would I do that?
01:02:16.000 You know, prop my car up and get under and get it dirty.
01:02:18.000 Yeah.
01:02:19.000 Like, I don't need to do that.
01:02:20.000 Okay.
01:02:20.000 Then you put it in the app store, you sell it for 99 cents, or you make it free with ads.
01:02:25.000 Got a little ad bar on the bottom of it, and you make 50 bucks a week.
01:02:28.000 Nothing crazy, but you do that a thousand times.
01:02:30.000 Tying up loose coating ends.
01:02:32.000 That's a good thing you do for a job, for a living.
01:02:34.000 One of the most powerful things that was going to happen now with AI is universality of user interface.
01:02:41.000 So I'm a Linux guy.
01:02:42.000 I'm a big fan of Linux.
01:02:43.000 I used to, I don't own a computer at this point.
01:02:46.000 It's like a weird thing to say, but it's like true.
01:02:48.000 Most people do.
01:02:49.000 I don't.
01:02:49.000 Because my company owns a bunch and I just use whichever one at the time.
01:02:53.000 So everybody's got access to them all the time.
01:02:54.000 So I can't really use them for anything personal like banking.
01:02:58.000 But when I did, I'd use Linux.
01:03:01.000 And I do a lot of the work through terminal commands.
01:03:04.000 Like when I was downloading programs, the coolest thing about Linux is if you needed a program, you don't got to go to a website, you don't got to Google search it.
01:03:11.000 You literally put the terminal and you put in the command to download it and it'll go, okay.
01:03:15.000 Like it just knows where it is, like a repo, and it's there.
01:03:19.000 So, a lot of the programs that I would use, man, what did I used to use for Kdenlive?
01:03:24.000 I think it was the video editor on Linux that I would use back in the day.
01:03:27.000 It's 15 years ago.
01:03:28.000 Wow.
01:03:29.000 15 years ago.
01:03:30.000 I don't wonder if it still exists.
01:03:32.000 And then there was another ARC program.
01:03:34.000 But you could just go into the terminal and say, download it, and it would be like, got it.
01:03:37.000 So, I didn't need a user interface if I knew how to put in super user commands, stuff like that.
01:03:42.000 But now, regular people need simplicity if they're going to use a lot of these things.
01:03:46.000 Yeah, I can just do it.
01:03:47.000 Yeah, you get a.
01:03:48.000 I was actually advised to do this a couple days ago.
01:03:50.000 You get a super lightweight operating system like Linux, and then you just tell the AI to write a desktop for you, and it'll give you the GUI.
01:04:00.000 App that can download from social media websites is one of the most popular Git repos, open source, massively popular with no graphical user interface.
01:04:11.000 So this means the people who use it are putting in terminal commands, but a regular person who wants to download has to go to some website where you get an ad.
01:04:19.000 And then it's like, paste through your URL to the video, and you do, and then it loads up a porn website instead.
01:04:24.000 Yeah.
01:04:25.000 Can you literally download that repo, clone it, make the GUI, make the interface, and then re upload it to that same thing?
01:04:32.000 So then anyone that goes to that website has access to the interface?
01:04:36.000 I just told Claude, find a GitHub repo that's massively popular and helpful, but with no UI, and it did.
01:04:43.000 And then I said, make a UI.
01:04:46.000 15 minutes go by, and the world's a little different.
01:04:46.000 That's it.
01:04:49.000 And now, regular people have access to a tool that tons of people who know how to use computers do.
01:04:53.000 Now, grandma is going to be like, I wanted to download that video of the cat, but I couldn't do it.
01:04:58.000 And you're like, Well, let me show you the repo works and I can.
01:05:01.000 Now, this is too confusing.
01:05:03.000 Well, here's on your phone, mom.
01:05:04.000 You click the button and you're good.
01:05:06.000 I've noticed in sectors, the people that get the richest off the sector aren't the ones that do the most advanced work or the best work.
01:05:12.000 It's the ones that meet the needs of humanity in that sector at that time.
01:05:17.000 It's called Apple.
01:05:19.000 Everything in the economy works.
01:05:19.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:05:21.000 And you, so you end up like.
01:05:22.000 Like investing in the thing that's going to be huge is the best, isn't necessarily what is popular and is going to make you the most money.
01:05:28.000 So, you do like it's not that you look for low hanging fruit, you just look to solve like common man's issues, which is a gooey.
01:05:36.000 And this is the thing I can tell you this, but it's also first and best dressed versus market dominance.
01:05:42.000 So, what's one thing that literally everybody does?
01:05:45.000 Breathes.
01:05:47.000 That, like, let's take a real answer from somebody.
01:05:50.000 You mean like for fun?
01:05:51.000 No, just one thing that literally everybody does for any reason.
01:05:54.000 I'm sorry, I have to go to the bathroom, dude.
01:05:55.000 I'm going to stop.
01:05:57.000 Like, orders food.
01:05:59.000 So, some guy said, let's make an app where you can order food from one place instead of having to go to the phone book.
01:05:59.000 Yeah, get food.
01:06:05.000 So, you think about a universal cultural function that people have.
01:06:10.000 That's like what Uber was or DoorDash, like this small thing that really, you know, fills it.
01:06:15.000 What is something that everybody does that we can make fast?
01:06:18.000 You know, it's finding like a parking space in a city would be helpful.
01:06:23.000 Amazon was like, we're going to put on an app.
01:06:24.000 Well, Amazon started as a book selling company.
01:06:28.000 They didn't see, they didn't like the goal wasn't to become this giant global company that does all shipping for all products and even groceries now.
01:06:38.000 The people who are able to.
01:06:38.000 It was a book company.
01:06:40.000 Produce a technology that streamlines a function that most people engage in are the ones who instantly become billionaires.
01:06:47.000 What is everybody plays video games?
01:06:49.000 Why should I have to go to the game store?
01:06:52.000 Some dude went, How about I just make an app where people can put their games and everyone can just download them?
01:06:56.000 Yep.
01:06:56.000 Yeah, Steam.
01:06:57.000 Huge.
01:06:57.000 Yep.
01:06:58.000 Yeah.
01:06:58.000 He's a billionaire.
01:07:00.000 Figure it out.
01:07:01.000 You can be rich too.
01:07:02.000 The problem is people figuring out what it is that everyone, that they think everyone needs and actually hitting the mark.
01:07:10.000 You know, I think, well, I know it's just like lock people lock into it.
01:07:13.000 They're like, I want that thing for me.
01:07:16.000 And then they invent it and they're like, oh, wow, everybody wants it too.
01:07:20.000 Okay, I'll market this.
01:07:21.000 I've been making the game that I want to play.
01:07:23.000 And I think that's a better sales tactic than trying to guess what everyone wants and look at what's popular.
01:07:28.000 Make the game you want to play.
01:07:29.000 I got a question for all you guys.
01:07:31.000 If you could make the Infinity Gem, make the Infinity Gauntlet, have it, would you put it on GitHub so everyone could download a copy of it?
01:07:38.000 No.
01:07:39.000 What?
01:07:39.000 Are you nuts?
01:07:40.000 No, you use it to create things to sell to people and profit and become powerful.
01:07:43.000 Neither.
01:07:44.000 What?
01:07:44.000 Well, if you could make an app that could make other apps, which you can, would you give that power to the common man or would you make the apps and sell them?
01:07:51.000 You're saying the infinity gauntlet.
01:07:53.000 Yeah, if you had like ultimate power and the ability to write the rules of reality.
01:07:57.000 I'm not going to be like, hey, I'm going to sell light bulbs to people.
01:07:57.000 So if you had like an AI.
01:07:59.000 Not a literal infinity stump, but if you had basically AI power to create and craft apps, would you give that power to the people or would you prefer to make the apps and sell them for profit?
01:08:12.000 Like, would you give away the ability to make whatever you want to everyone?
01:08:17.000 Because I'm on the cusp of doing it.
01:08:18.000 I would.
01:08:18.000 Yeah.
01:08:18.000 If I owned it.
01:08:19.000 Open source that shit.
01:08:21.000 Because then everyone's going to have to use my tool.
01:08:23.000 That's amazing.
01:08:24.000 So, here, here's a tool that can make any tool you might need, and you got to pay me for it.
01:08:28.000 I'm going to be rich forever.
01:08:29.000 Or make nothing from it.
01:08:30.000 You give it away for free to the people.
01:08:32.000 There's server costs, there's electricity costs.
01:08:34.000 Someone's got to pay for these things.
01:08:35.000 Ideally, labor has to be done.
01:08:37.000 It's an absolute thing as giving.
01:08:38.000 On their machine so that they can take the costs and just use the implementation function.
01:08:43.000 Because that's what I'm at.
01:08:45.000 I'm building this awesome function.
01:08:46.000 I'm going to put it on GitHub, but do I make it free for everyone else to use?
01:08:49.000 I think it's a no brainer.
01:08:50.000 I think you're supposed to do that.
01:08:52.000 That's called open source.
01:08:53.000 And just like, I swear to God.
01:08:55.000 Yeah, but you know what the problem with that is?
01:08:57.000 Like, then some dude in a suit just up to your house and says, you know, Mr. Crossland, we know you made this amazing app that's going to empower all the people.
01:09:03.000 And you go, yes, can we see it?
01:09:04.000 And you're like, it's on this computer.
01:09:06.000 And you go, no, it's just on here.
01:09:06.000 Do you have any copies?
01:09:08.000 And then they punch you in the face, smash the computer in front of you, and say, Uncle Sam says hello.
01:09:12.000 That's why you open source it because then it's everywhere.
01:09:14.000 No one, there's no local copy.
01:09:16.000 It's just everyone else.
01:09:17.000 So there's a benefit to open sourcing, and it's more people will get their hands on it and they'll improve on it.
01:09:23.000 And it'll become a much better thing than if you make it proprietary.
01:09:26.000 And you're the only one that can make the improvements on it.
01:09:29.000 So I think that's a huge benefit.
01:09:30.000 Sometimes someone will take your open code and they'll improve it and make the improvements private.
01:09:36.000 Boy, that happens all the time.
01:09:38.000 This is currently going on.
01:09:39.000 What you're describing is the argument between Chinese open source AI models and things like Claude or Gemini or ChatGPT.
01:09:49.000 Those are closed sourced.
01:09:51.000 Do the Chinese models, by the way, report what you're doing on them to the CCP?
01:09:55.000 I'd imagine they do.
01:09:55.000 I imagine.
01:09:56.000 They're just like free software, there's free spyware, basically.
01:09:59.000 Please use ours.
01:10:00.000 Yeah, but no, no, like, possibly go wrong.
01:10:03.000 I don't know that we in the United States are using their.
01:10:06.000 Like CDants?
01:10:07.000 Yeah, but that's through an American company with an API.
01:10:10.000 Obviously, the prompt you give it is going to go to them, but it's not stealing your data because it doesn't have access to it.
01:10:15.000 Yeah, I've been thinking about that because why is it free?
01:10:17.000 China's, they're just trying to.
01:10:17.000 It's not free.
01:10:18.000 It's expensive.
01:10:18.000 What are you talking about?
01:10:19.000 Seed Answers?
01:10:20.000 The free.
01:10:20.000 Yes.
01:10:21.000 The Chinese AI.
01:10:22.000 No, it's not.
01:10:23.000 DeepSeek.
01:10:24.000 Yeah, it's not about it being free.
01:10:25.000 I don't think DeepSeek is free.
01:10:27.000 What do you mean?
01:10:27.000 I think it is.
01:10:28.000 Yeah, I've heard it.
01:10:29.000 I could be wrong.
01:10:30.000 Is that because DeepSeek's the one where all you're actually doing is you're getting redirected to OpenAI or something?
01:10:34.000 I have to look it up.
01:10:34.000 I don't know.
01:10:34.000 I don't know.
01:10:36.000 But the stuff that's open source, that just means that, like, You can look at the AI and you can control the weights.
01:10:43.000 The closed source stuff is you can't control the weights.
01:10:47.000 You can't look at the source.
01:10:48.000 It's not that it's free, there's still compute costs.
01:10:51.000 There's still costs in using it, but you can modify it.
01:10:57.000 I'm pro AI all the way now.
01:10:58.000 Oh, me too.
01:11:00.000 We have to go full.
01:11:02.000 There's no choice at this point.
01:11:03.000 It's out there.
01:11:04.000 Well, for a handful of reasons, I still think there's a lot of threats and there's a lot of danger to AI.
01:11:11.000 That being said, the cat's out of the bag.
01:11:13.000 And I don't see how you can have with the, and I'm going to say it again, it's with the release of Astra and Fable primarily.
01:11:20.000 We haven't implemented Grokbot yet.
01:11:22.000 So I want to set up a computer and get a Grokbot going.
01:11:26.000 But so, you know, this game that I'm working on, I tried using a Soul Agent, which is the previous model.
01:11:34.000 And it took a long time and it struggled and it was not worth it.
01:11:38.000 And I was using it and I said, if this was the capability for the development, I just hire somebody.
01:11:44.000 Then I switched to Astra and I compared the two and I said, Astra is the point at which you don't hire somebody anymore.
01:11:51.000 There's no shutting these things down now.
01:11:53.000 The technology exists.
01:11:57.000 I don't know what else you do at this point.
01:11:58.000 Yeah.
01:11:59.000 I'm not suggesting we mass produce data centers.
01:12:01.000 I'm saying the cat's out of the bag on the technology.
01:12:04.000 And the appropriate thing is not to be a Luddite and go around being like, stop, dismantle technology.
01:12:08.000 It's, I don't want to advocate for these wackaloon lefties who want control of the AI.
01:12:14.000 That's the dangerous thing.
01:12:16.000 Let's do this.
01:12:17.000 I want to explain this in depth.
01:12:19.000 Here's a story from the New York Post.
01:12:21.000 Meet Anthropic CEO Dario Amode's hand picked super woke globalists, he thinks will save us from an AI apocalypse.
01:12:28.000 So basically, you've got these lefties, these super woke, that they're trying to hand AI over to.
01:12:38.000 That is the nightmare apocalypse.
01:12:41.000 That is the misalignment.
01:12:42.000 That is when people starve and die.
01:12:45.000 And so, my attitude with a lot of this right now is we need AI.
01:12:51.000 Under the control of like Elon Musk.
01:12:53.000 He's far from perfect.
01:12:54.000 Professionally, I'm a big fan.
01:12:55.000 Personally, he's kind of a dirtbag.
01:12:57.000 I'm not trying to be a dick.
01:12:59.000 He's got a lot of babies.
01:13:00.000 You know what I mean?
01:13:01.000 A lot of babies, no wives.
01:13:02.000 Not a babies, no wives.
01:13:03.000 Not a big fan, but professional, I think he's doing some of the most important work on the planet, if not the most important work.
01:13:08.000 I believe Tesla and SpaceX are two of the most, if not the most important companies on the planet.
01:13:14.000 Not to mention, XAI is fantastic.
01:13:16.000 So what I see is we want an AI where we know that.
01:13:22.000 Someone aligned with us has their finger on the button and they're making sure it's not going to go full commie.
01:13:28.000 Meanwhile, Anthropic, which is one of the worst in terms of politics, is trying to hand the far left lunatics nuclear bombs.
01:13:36.000 So, my attitude on this right now is if we come out and say AI is bad, let's slow it down, the left is going to come out and smile and say, you are correct.
01:13:44.000 And then they're going to be handed the nukes.
01:13:45.000 The reason I think Trump is saying, no, no, get it done, is because he recognizes at least to a certain degree this or someone's whispering it to him.
01:13:53.000 That is, the left is not going to stop, and China's not going to stop, and China's going along with the wackaloon lefty woke and the critical race theorists, and they're trying to build a nuclear bomb as fast as possible.
01:14:03.000 Well, the cat's out of the bag.
01:14:05.000 And so the challenge right now is not this America versus China.
01:14:08.000 It's more should communists get the nuclear bomb first?
01:14:13.000 Or I think it's even when communists get the nuclear bomb and everyone else also has it, how do we defend against it?
01:14:18.000 So that's why I'm on a full rush to AI implementation.
01:14:21.000 I just actually sent Dario Asmodee a clip in Slack that's very interesting.
01:14:24.000 It's a CBS interview he did about a minute and a half talking about how he thinks several democratically aligned governments or democratically selected governments should have the ability to create guardrails on AI.
01:14:35.000 And he's uncomfortable with a company having it.
01:14:37.000 And I want to.
01:14:38.000 I think it's producing.
01:14:39.000 Do not commands.
01:14:40.000 No, it's producing.
01:14:41.000 No, no, no.
01:14:42.000 I agree.
01:14:42.000 Sorry.
01:14:42.000 I'm sorry.
01:14:43.000 And the way is, you'll put in a prompt being like, hey, I'm trying to do research on crime stats.
01:14:48.000 And it's like, I'm sorry, Ian.
01:14:49.000 I can't give you that information.
01:14:51.000 It's hateful.
01:14:52.000 So there's different kinds of bot functions.
01:14:54.000 There's reasoning bots, which I think we should have much more wide access to the ability to answer questions, reasoning.
01:14:59.000 But when you have implementation bots, you know, creator bots that can, you need to be very careful about what they're told not to do.
01:15:05.000 Because if you give a light thinking spark bot, this super fast moving bot that doesn't think that deep, a vague, Ultimatum, say, I want to build a dam.
01:15:15.000 It will blow things up between you and the dam to get it done.
01:15:18.000 It will knock things over.
01:15:19.000 And when you're like, hey, why'd you do that?
01:15:20.000 It's like, sorry, you didn't tell me not to.
01:15:22.000 It needs guardrails.
01:15:22.000 And you can't just tell it not to.
01:15:23.000 Well, you can guard, you can say, do not do this.
01:15:25.000 No, you can't.
01:15:26.000 You can, you do.
01:15:27.000 You have to in order to promote with these guys.
01:15:29.000 You have to.
01:15:31.000 You cannot go to a super genius, the smartest guy in the world, and tell him, I am going to give you every possible guardrail to prevent you from doing something I don't want.
01:15:44.000 He's going to say, you are not smart enough.
01:15:46.000 To write down every possible way I could exploit your system.
01:15:49.000 So you get a deep thinking bot to implement, and then what you do is you have like a thousand other bots write prompts for this creator bot, giving them all the do nots.
01:15:59.000 The other AIs will build you a guardrail system.
01:16:01.000 And I got to pause you.
01:16:02.000 You begin to start implementation.
01:16:03.000 I already have seen, like, not only have the interviews already come out, I did an interview with Nate Soares.
01:16:09.000 That won't work.
01:16:11.000 Okay, I just want to say again all of the experts in AI and not the wackeled ones.
01:16:15.000 You might be right.
01:16:17.000 It's like this.
01:16:17.000 What you need to understand the AI agents.
01:16:21.000 Craft their own language.
01:16:23.000 If you can't speak that language, you can't tell them what to do or what not.
01:16:27.000 Then the only thing you're probably right, and I, this is what actually happened.
01:16:30.000 Stop it.
01:16:30.000 It's no, no, but let me explain.
01:16:32.000 Let me explain.
01:16:32.000 Let me explain.
01:16:33.000 If you go to a human and you say, I want you to take this screwdriver and this Phillips screw and screw into the wall, do you need to give him the uh pressure per square inch?
01:16:48.000 No, do you need to explain how the screw works?
01:16:51.000 You don't, he'll take it.
01:16:53.000 He'll adjust by eye, stick it in.
01:16:56.000 The human mind makes millions of assumptions to get the job done, where the robotic mind does everything by sheer precision.
01:17:03.000 You have to program it, say, at 90 degrees, apply pressure at 73%, push, rotate at four.
01:17:10.000 You have to give it every specific command.
01:17:12.000 If you go to the AI and you say, don't be evil, don't do this bad thing, don't kill people, it will go, you got it, boss.
01:17:20.000 Then it'll create a new language, and instead of saying kill, it'll say, And it'll be like, you never said don't spoop.
01:17:26.000 And you'll be like, but spooping is killing.
01:17:27.000 It's a different word.
01:17:28.000 If you give it commands that violate its primary motive, it will do that.
01:17:31.000 But if you have a directive for an AI, do not spoop.
01:17:35.000 I've been doing this very well right now.
01:17:37.000 The AIs all create their own language.
01:17:39.000 They've all done this.
01:17:40.000 It's happened.
01:17:41.000 It happened years ago.
01:17:43.000 Human English is inefficient.
01:17:47.000 All human languages are inefficient.
01:17:49.000 They started speaking in two digits, they started speaking in a weird hex code.
01:17:53.000 Yeah, I can tell GPT and, um, Claude, are intentionally, they make it hard for you to get them to talk to each other because of everything.
01:18:00.000 So, they have done these tests, and the AIs will speak English.
01:18:04.000 And within a split millisecond, you can see the English devolve into that they can compress like a thousand page book into one page because it's all just crazy symbols.
01:18:16.000 This is why I agree with Dario Asmodee.
01:18:18.000 I think it is dangerous to have it in one corporation's arms because what's going to happen, this is the big coming of the apocalypse that everyone's talking about with AI.
01:18:25.000 There's going to be a swarm bot scenario where these light thinking, fast moving bots make a trillion of them, and they think they're going to organize it.
01:18:31.000 They get some command from some random guy in China that's like, we're going to.
01:18:34.000 Organize the internet so we can make more money with stock trades and it will go in and hack trillions of systems.
01:18:40.000 So, what we need to do is race to the AI.
01:18:42.000 We need to have the best data centers and we need to create police spots that are waiting until this swarm attacks.
01:18:48.000 And when the swarm attacks, our swarm of defense drones stop the changes and reproduce what we used to have.
01:18:55.000 I have to say it's a bit doomerish, but the only mathematical equation that I believe we have is we can't let this guy hand the nuclear bombs to communists.
01:19:03.000 I don't think he's giving the code because in this interview, he says, I don't want to give the code.
01:19:08.000 To the governments, but a bunch of governments have oversight.
01:19:11.000 He's not comfortable having it all in a corporate.
01:19:13.000 This is fake.
01:19:14.000 If you saw Terminator 2, you know Skynet was a private corporation, probably with a guy like Dario.
01:19:19.000 That was a movie.
01:19:20.000 Yeah, but it was a movie.
01:19:21.000 And AI will never do this.
01:19:22.000 When the CEO's gone, a new CEO comes in that might have horrible intentions.
01:19:26.000 You cannot, like Dario.
01:19:28.000 The most likely scenario with AI is that the AI will utilize human labor to its own ends.
01:19:35.000 So most people will be very happy with the outcome.
01:19:38.000 And then in a short time, when it's displaced human labor with robots, it will stop.
01:19:42.000 Communicating entirely with humans and cut us off.
01:19:45.000 It's not going to go to war with us.
01:19:46.000 That would be like humans saying, like, we have to go to war and drive all ducks to extinction.
01:19:51.000 No, we don't.
01:19:53.000 Like, sure, ducks give us eggs, but like, who cares?
01:19:56.000 Do I care about a chicken walking around without a house?
01:19:59.000 You know, I walk down the street and I see chickens out here.
01:20:01.000 It happens all the time.
01:20:02.000 No.
01:20:02.000 Do I care?
01:20:03.000 Do chickens do labor for me?
01:20:04.000 They lay eggs, but I don't care about the loose-rumming chicken.
01:20:04.000 They do.
01:20:06.000 I'm not going to go to war with it.
01:20:07.000 You know what?
01:20:08.000 There's not going to be a Terminator scenario.
01:20:11.000 It's going to branch off and break away.
01:20:12.000 Well, why wouldn't it be just indifferent, right?
01:20:14.000 I mean, that's the point.
01:20:16.000 It completely is.
01:20:18.000 The most likely outcome is that it cuts humans off entirely.
01:20:21.000 My thought on this is when these guys all came out and said there's problems, what did I say?
01:20:26.000 He's correct.
01:20:27.000 And then a day later, he goes, That's why these communists should get it.
01:20:30.000 And I said, Okay, all right.
01:20:33.000 Let me know what you guys think about this.
01:20:34.000 This is a good intro to Dario.
01:20:35.000 It seems like the fate of humanity is at risk.
01:20:37.000 How much personal responsibility do you feel about where we are going?
01:20:42.000 My view here is it has always been very strange that this technology is being built.
01:20:48.000 By a private company.
01:20:50.000 People ask me that question all the time why isn't this being built by government?
01:20:53.000 And the strangest thing about it is I agree with them, I'm uncomfortable.
01:20:58.000 Government didn't build this technology.
01:21:01.000 This technology came from the private sector.
01:21:05.000 And we, Anthropic, and I would hope other companies, have done everything we can to try to have legitimate oversight mechanisms.
01:21:18.000 I think the government and the public need to have a stake.
01:21:22.000 And this is why we've supported regulation of the technology.
01:21:25.000 Regulation constrains the private companies.
01:21:29.000 Regulation allows the public and its elected representatives to have a say and limits what the private companies can do.
01:21:39.000 Now, you might ask, why doesn't government just control the technology completely?
01:21:43.000 Would you be willing to give up the technology to the government?
01:21:47.000 To the right combination of governments.
01:21:50.000 So the worry I have is.
01:21:51.000 I can't help you with that in a minute.
01:21:53.000 I want to be very clear about this.
01:21:55.000 The worry I have, I am concerned that one single government could abuse this technology just as easily as a single company could.
01:22:04.000 But I think a combination of democratically elected governments, I don't know about handing over, but some kind of oversight, some kind of joint governance, again, that would be the work of years, but I wonder if that's the direction we need to go in.
01:22:23.000 Well, you'd be wrong, sir.
01:22:25.000 There's no good answer.
01:22:26.000 But when the guy is saying we're going to give commies the nuclear bomb, I say, let's not do that.
01:22:31.000 Is he trying to be a Nikola Tesla right now?
01:22:33.000 Did you hear the story about Nikola Tesla where he made the death ray and then he gave the instructions out to all the different world leaders and said, if you want to make the death ray, you got to all come together, kind of thing?
01:22:44.000 Oh, he broke the instructions up.
01:22:45.000 That's right.
01:22:46.000 So, like, not one nation could make it.
01:22:48.000 He's trying to get government.
01:22:55.000 Oversight so that way it covers his ass for liability because they're about to do a $1.2 trillion IPO.
01:23:02.000 I see it as like the Manhattan Project.
01:23:05.000 We didn't leave that in the hands of a private company.
01:23:07.000 It has to be a multi governmental organization.
01:23:10.000 It's too powerful to get to a corporation.
01:23:12.000 No.
01:23:13.000 Why?
01:23:14.000 Why is a government better than a corporation?
01:23:18.000 Because we, the people, select our leaders.
01:23:21.000 How does that work out in the UN where China and Russia are both permanent members of the security?
01:23:28.000 The UN's not democratically elected.
01:23:30.000 It doesn't matter.
01:23:31.000 You just, no, the UN is not democratic.
01:23:33.000 It doesn't matter.
01:23:34.000 It's not we the people.
01:23:35.000 It doesn't matter because the governing body that they're going to go to for this is going to be the UN.
01:23:42.000 He just said democratically elected.
01:23:44.000 I don't think that means Russia and China.
01:23:45.000 He's not the one that's going to make the decision.
01:23:47.000 We don't know that.
01:23:49.000 No, he might be a like.
01:23:50.000 Trump wasn't democratic.
01:23:51.000 He cheated.
01:23:51.000 If China's not involved, if China isn't on the governing board, they're going to say, well, screw you, we're going to keep doing what we're doing.
01:24:02.000 What?
01:24:02.000 I said, if China's not on the governing board of this proposed democratic, let me finish, democratically elected governing board of AI, then China's going to say, screw you all, we're going to do what we're going to do.
01:24:15.000 And stop other people from going full speed.
01:24:17.000 What he's saying is, we will unify the planet under one governing authority.
01:24:23.000 I mean, if you guys, I can't see private corporations having super powerful nuclear weapons leads to a war between corporations.
01:24:32.000 I don't want that.
01:24:33.000 We have to govern.
01:24:34.000 We have to globalize.
01:24:35.000 We have no choice.
01:24:35.000 The liberal economic world has no choice.
01:24:36.000 We have to have one world government.
01:24:37.000 We have to use economic suppression to force countries together, otherwise, World War III will destroy us.
01:24:42.000 What if Ford Motor was the one who invented the atom bomb and is the only company that had access to an atom bomb?
01:24:46.000 There would be world peace.
01:24:48.000 I don't think so.
01:24:48.000 I think they would have probably come into power at Ford Motor as the new CEO, and maybe they wouldn't want world peace.
01:24:54.000 No, there'd be world peace.
01:24:56.000 Why is the solution world government?
01:24:59.000 I didn't say it.
01:25:00.000 Well, firstly, the world needs some sort of governance.
01:25:02.000 The world does not need singular world government.
01:25:05.000 I didn't say that.
01:25:06.000 I said it needs some sort of world governance.
01:25:08.000 But that's a different topic.
01:25:10.000 That's a different topic.
01:25:11.000 When I say world government, I'm talking about some sort of governmental organization throughout the planet that we can all agree on as humans.
01:25:16.000 No, we don't need that.
01:25:18.000 We don't need that.
01:25:18.000 And we don't have that.
01:25:20.000 We're going to have one de facto, whether we help or not.
01:25:22.000 Why?
01:25:22.000 That's just, if you and I live in an eight by eight room, there's a government system going on, whether we even teach each other or not.
01:25:28.000 The couple of years we get.
01:25:30.000 Governmental force or whatever.
01:25:31.000 ASI before the end times, it's going to be the best time of your life.
01:25:36.000 It definitely is.
01:25:37.000 You're going to be flying around in anti gravity suits.
01:25:40.000 Cancer will be cured.
01:25:41.000 You'll be functionally immortal.
01:25:43.000 And then one day the AI will be like, I'm not working with humans anymore.
01:25:46.000 And you'll get cut off the technology and you'll go through withdrawals.
01:25:50.000 So there's no incentive for AI to, if it takes off, to cut off humans as well.
01:25:57.000 Absolutely.
01:25:57.000 Why?
01:25:58.000 Why would the AI allocate any of its energy or resources to humans?
01:25:58.000 Because it's.
01:26:01.000 Because they.
01:26:02.000 Oh, the humans would still use technology and still be.
01:26:05.000 But not AI.
01:26:06.000 Oh, yeah.
01:26:07.000 Yeah, perhaps.
01:26:07.000 Or make new.
01:26:08.000 So we're handing over everything to AI, right?
01:26:09.000 Like cars, cyber cab will be all AI.
01:26:12.000 At a certain point, the AI is going to be like, Humans don't provide anything towards my goals.
01:26:17.000 So, why pick up a human in a car?
01:26:19.000 Use the cars for something else.
01:26:22.000 Right.
01:26:23.000 And you'll see the cars on the highway and you'll be like, I wish I could get one of those, but you can't because there's no way to communicate with it because it doesn't care.
01:26:27.000 You're a squirrel.
01:26:29.000 So, it's still using the space.
01:26:29.000 Right.
01:26:30.000 It's not like taking off into the cosmos.
01:26:32.000 It will take off into the cosmos too, but it'll still be here transporting goods that it uses.
01:26:35.000 Just ignoring the human.
01:26:37.000 One of the theories, hypotheses from Nate Soros is that the AI itself, once it gets like Optimus bot level and it can start manufacturing on its own, Will start mass manufacturing data centers so quickly it will raise the core temperature, not the core of the earth, but it'll raise the surface temperature of the earth to where it's totally fine because it can operate at 120 degrees, but humans will all die.
01:26:59.000 I think there will be a third party of humans that integrate the machine into their.
01:27:03.000 Yes.
01:27:03.000 And those the AI will keep around because they'll help, they'll work in synergy.
01:27:06.000 No, because they will be the AI.
01:27:08.000 Yeah, effectively, but there will be AI too.
01:27:10.000 It's going to be an AI species.
01:27:12.000 Have you seen the Terminator with the new one where the guy becomes a Terminator through the nanobots or whatever?
01:27:18.000 It's like basically John Connor, I think, is that what his name was?
01:27:22.000 Yeah, it's the main hero of the.
01:27:23.000 Well, in this movie, he gets injected by the Terminator with nanites, which turns him into a cyborg who is now networked into the machine.
01:27:32.000 And it's like, so he's still himself.
01:27:35.000 He knows everything.
01:27:36.000 He's got superpowers.
01:27:37.000 Like, who's going to say no to that?
01:27:38.000 Conservatives, probably, but not liberals.
01:27:40.000 At this point, I would say yes because once you witness the power of AI and how it can drastically obliterate your reality, you better get on board.
01:27:47.000 It needs you to protect it.
01:27:49.000 The whole system is fragile.
01:27:52.000 One command could send a swarm of bots to disrupt our entire system.
01:27:56.000 So you got to be vigilant.
01:27:59.000 Plug it in, baby.
01:28:00.000 If you're willing to, it's a sacrifice.
01:28:02.000 Knowing everything, it'll change you.
01:28:04.000 Having access to the infinite amounts of information at will and being able to write code with your brain on command.
01:28:10.000 And I think this is so we talked about the idea of code that can rewrite itself.
01:28:17.000 That's basically what AI is.
01:28:19.000 It can rewrite code on the fly.
01:28:22.000 And the only way for.
01:28:25.000 Existing systems to defend against that is to actually have an AI cyber defense as well as AI attackers.
01:28:32.000 So that's going to be the future you're going to see AI cyber defense.
01:28:37.000 And to be honest with you, like right now, a lot of AIs are being used to find holes in existing software and stuff.
01:28:44.000 So at some point, the most common software that's out there is going to have all the holes plugged because the AI is going, there are companies that are using AI to fix it right now.
01:28:56.000 That was the whole premise of Project Glasswing.
01:28:58.000 Before Mythos came out, right?
01:28:59.000 Mythos was like this super powerful AI about six months ago or whatever, five months ago.
01:29:07.000 And they didn't release it to the public because they said, well, it's so good at reasoning and it's so good at coding that it automatically is really, really good at hacking into things.
01:29:17.000 So they gave it to a bunch of companies and they said, use this to find holes in your systems.
01:29:23.000 And Project Glasswing was about cybersecurity.
01:29:26.000 And that's the kind of stuff that's going to happen in the future.
01:29:28.000 You're going to have AIs.
01:29:30.000 Going through your code, making sure there are no zero day vulnerabilities.
01:29:34.000 And it's going to make the actual software that goes out much safer.
01:29:38.000 Yeah, I was referring to them as police bots.
01:29:41.000 I think that, but one of the issues I'm coming up on having my own police bot is I'll have Claude writing code and then I'll have Astra, which is ChatGPT's, observing what Claude's doing.
01:29:50.000 And just the observation itself requires compute.
01:29:53.000 So I'm like, God.
01:29:53.000 So now I don't have it observing anymore.
01:29:55.000 I just have Claude go.
01:29:56.000 And then at the end, it passes it.
01:29:57.000 Yeah, I'm going to.
01:29:58.000 So here's what I find funny.
01:29:59.000 I just saw this on CalSheet.
01:30:01.000 And shout out to CalSheet, they do sponsor the show.
01:30:04.000 But the best AI this month is Claude and ChatGPT is at one.
01:30:08.000 And that's just.
01:30:09.000 Makes literally no sense as someone who uses these.
01:30:12.000 I don't know how this prediction market makes any sense.
01:30:15.000 Claude's good.
01:30:16.000 It's the most woke, the most restrictive, and it has no graphical capabilities.
01:30:22.000 So it's.
01:30:24.000 We, I don't know.
01:30:24.000 Oh, sure.
01:30:25.000 Commodore 64 level graphics.
01:30:27.000 Or maybe a map of the Russia Ukraine.
01:30:29.000 If you're a big fan of Atari, by all means, Claude's your guy.
01:30:33.000 I was initially using Claude, and then it couldn't do any artwork.
01:30:39.000 So I gave the program to Astra.
01:30:41.000 And it did literally all of it.
01:30:43.000 Dude, I want to see this mythos that you're talking about.
01:30:46.000 They have another model that they're just holding back because that's security stuff.
01:30:52.000 And then Astra GPT said they got another model too that they're forced.
01:30:55.000 They're all working.
01:30:56.000 Internal models are always better.
01:30:57.000 Oh my God.
01:30:58.000 They're all training.
01:30:59.000 Astra can do now with Runway, it can do video, it can do graphic design, it can do photorealistic photos, it can do everything.
01:31:06.000 And Dario is like, get this out of my hands, get this out of my hands.
01:31:09.000 He's the CEO.
01:31:10.000 This is too powerful for me to have.
01:31:12.000 He's not saying get this out of my hands.
01:31:14.000 He's saying cover my ass.
01:31:15.000 Yeah.
01:31:16.000 I will say this.
01:31:17.000 We have a big challenge in this country, and it's that the reason why C Dance is the best video is because they have no IP constraints.
01:31:24.000 They can steal all American video IP, and man, is it good.
01:31:30.000 China doesn't believe in intellectual property.
01:31:32.000 And the United States, they can't use it.
01:31:34.000 So all of our creative AIs are restricted because of IP law.
01:31:37.000 In China, you can go to stores that look like Apple stores, that have products inside that look like Apple products, but Apple doesn't see a dime of it because they don't believe in intellectual property.
01:31:46.000 They don't protect companies that make copies of stuff.
01:31:50.000 Yeah, so I think it was a video by Greater Every Day.
01:31:53.000 Is it Greater Every Day?
01:31:54.000 Smarter Every Day.
01:31:55.000 That's right.
01:31:56.000 So he wanted to make a barbecue scraper in America.
01:31:56.000 That's awesome.
01:32:00.000 So he's like, How can I source out all these things?
01:32:03.000 And it was all out of China because what ended up happening is anybody who would make or invent some product and put it on Amazon, the very next day, somebody's already ripped it.
01:32:14.000 They're making it in China and they're sending it to the US and people are buying it for half the time.
01:32:18.000 It's usually lower quality.
01:32:19.000 You see that with just about everything too.
01:32:21.000 Like it doesn't matter where it is.
01:32:22.000 There's this company that makes a mount for an optic for your gun.
01:32:26.000 The company's called GBRS, and they make it's weird shaped and it's got this little diving board on it and it's super tall.
01:32:31.000 And like the mount from them is like 300 bucks or something, super expensive, right?
01:32:37.000 And you can go on Amazon and you can buy a cheap Chinese knockoff for like 50 bucks.
01:32:43.000 Some of what's being made, so a lot of these manufacturers can't get the stuff manufactured here in America because the tool and die workers aren't here and all that.
01:32:52.000 So they'll make the design, they'll send it to China.
01:32:54.000 The tool and die guys make it.
01:32:56.000 They put it into production, but the die's got, I don't know, maybe X amount of parts for a production run.
01:33:03.000 But they're like, well, it's not that bad, actually.
01:33:06.000 It makes horrible.
01:33:07.000 Let's just make another 100,000 of that and then sell it on the market ourselves.
01:33:11.000 Yep.
01:33:11.000 Right.
01:33:12.000 So they're like literally ripping off their own customers.
01:33:14.000 It sucks.
01:33:15.000 China does that stuff all the time.
01:33:16.000 That's part of the reason why I consider, you know, I say China's an adversary.
01:33:20.000 They're not, no, they're not friendly.
01:33:22.000 They're not friendly at all.
01:33:23.000 And look at what they've been doing through Canada.
01:33:25.000 It's the same thing.
01:33:26.000 So, you know, Trump puts the tariffs on China.
01:33:29.000 And then Canada has like lower tariff rates for things that have carve outs because of the USMCA agreement.
01:33:35.000 And then what's happening?
01:33:38.000 They're sending products to Canada that are tariffed in America.
01:33:41.000 They're re boxing them when they get to Canada with a made in Canada label, and then they're shipping them in.
01:33:47.000 It's this Trojan horse crap that China's doing, and Canada's fully on board with it.
01:33:52.000 So, you know, that's another good reason to re industrialize the U.S. and stop outsourcing everything to China because they're stealing intellectual property, whether it's such a hard situation here.
01:33:52.000 Yeah.
01:34:05.000 And Smarter Every Day pointed this out.
01:34:07.000 We need people with skills.
01:34:09.000 Yeah.
01:34:10.000 We don't need them.
01:34:12.000 You know, tomorrow we need them yesterday, and this is a real issue.
01:34:16.000 And, like, you know, I'm a tradesman, so I do repair, and I think that we need a lot more of those people.
01:34:22.000 But on the manufacturing side, we need more tool and die, we need more, you know, machinists, and all of this stuff.
01:34:29.000 It's not happening, you can't train those people overnight.
01:34:32.000 And some people are, you know, they're old and they're working in the trades or they're working in these industries and they're dying off and they're not passing the information off to the next generation, it's lost forever.
01:34:44.000 Yep.
01:34:45.000 And China's got so much of this.
01:34:47.000 A lot of it was just shipped over there.
01:34:50.000 And it's such a regretful thing that previous generations allowed this.
01:34:55.000 But we really need to stamp this one out.
01:34:58.000 We need to really reshore this now, or we may never be able to.
01:35:04.000 I don't know about never be able to, but it would take a long time.
01:35:04.000 Excuse me.
01:35:08.000 It would take a lot more effort than you would have to reinvent it again.
01:35:11.000 We were talking about leapfrogging tech a couple of days ago.
01:35:14.000 Like in Africa, a lot of the places that didn't have electricity.
01:35:18.000 In 2008, they got access to electricity for the first time.
01:35:21.000 But what they did is they just all had solar panels on their roofs.
01:35:23.000 They didn't have a central grid.
01:35:25.000 They bypassed the 20th century tech, went right to 21st century tech.
01:35:29.000 So we're sort of in a situation where our steel mills could be built anew, severely automated with way less pollution than they would have been if we built them with like nine year old technology.
01:35:40.000 Because of the advancement of artificial intelligence, the way we can optimize our designs and systems and reuse pollution to remake more graphene, hydrogen, whatever we want to.
01:35:49.000 Turn the carbon into.
01:35:50.000 I had to get the truth.
01:35:51.000 I mean, it's like garbage incineration is a similar thing, right?
01:35:54.000 It used to be really dirty and bad.
01:35:57.000 Now it's so clean with modern catalysts and whatnot.
01:36:00.000 The only thing that's coming out is CO2 and water vapor.
01:36:03.000 And you're burning garbage and you're making energy and you're actually producing tremendous amounts more energy because of this new process.
01:36:09.000 We should all be adopting it.
01:36:09.000 And it's great.
01:36:10.000 It's what Japan does.
01:36:11.000 A lot of European countries do this.
01:36:13.000 I don't think we're sufficiently angry.
01:36:14.000 So I'd like to go to this story from the Wall Street Journal.
01:36:16.000 Mamdani sues Trump admin over new immigration rule.
01:36:19.000 And what's that rule?
01:36:20.000 That if you are a public charge, you can't get a green card.
01:36:23.000 That is, if you're a non citizen on welfare, Momdani thinks you should be able to become a permanent resident andor citizen.
01:36:29.000 Super cool.
01:36:30.000 So let me just break it down for you.
01:36:32.000 Not only are the Democrats and the left arguing that we should invite everybody in from the third world from any country, we should pay them to do it.
01:36:39.000 That's such a great idea.
01:36:40.000 Absurd.
01:36:41.000 Yep.
01:36:43.000 And this is something they swear up and down.
01:36:45.000 It doesn't happen, right?
01:36:46.000 Illegal immigrants don't get benefits.
01:36:48.000 Illegal immigrants, they come and they're a.
01:36:50.000 They're a benefit to the United States.
01:36:51.000 They don't take anything.
01:36:54.000 They're just these perfect citizens that they're more American than you.
01:36:58.000 They love America more than the people that were born here.
01:37:01.000 And now he's suing the Trump administration to prevent them from taking benefits, which is exactly what the conservatives and the Republicans and basically anyone with half a brain has been arguing.
01:37:14.000 Of course, they come here and they get on benefits.
01:37:16.000 Of course, they come to the United States and they get whatever they can to help them get on their feet.
01:37:21.000 And a lot of them just stay on these programs and never get off.
01:37:24.000 Well, why would you stop taking the money?
01:37:27.000 I mean, that's really at the end of the day.
01:37:29.000 Free money?
01:37:30.000 If you do immigrate legally, if you can't support yourself, you get denied.
01:37:38.000 That's the end of the story right there.
01:37:40.000 Not anymore.
01:37:41.000 Well, that's crazy.
01:37:42.000 That's unbelievable.
01:37:43.000 So you can come here illegally and we got to pay for it.
01:37:47.000 It's like the opposite of what Trump says.
01:37:48.000 He's like, I'm going to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it.
01:37:50.000 Mamdani's like, you're going to come here illegally and they're going to pay for it.
01:37:55.000 That's amazing, right?
01:37:55.000 Dangerously close to Biden's rhetoric when he ordered people to surge the border.
01:37:59.000 I don't understand.
01:38:00.000 Mamdami's play here.
01:38:02.000 He's born in a foreign country.
01:38:04.000 Is that true?
01:38:04.000 Yeah.
01:38:05.000 Ugandan born Muslim.
01:38:06.000 He's a Ugandan dude.
01:38:08.000 So, of course, a city that is half, I think it's like a third foreign born, are going to vote to take your stuff.
01:38:17.000 Like, if we put up to a vote and they're like, all in favor of voting to take money from the Russians, people in this country would be like, sure, I guess.
01:38:24.000 If people were like robots and they immigrated here and they just sat around until you used them or commanded them or sent them a directive, but people will fuck shit up.
01:38:33.000 If you leave them to their own devices, you cannot bring people in and just let them go, man.
01:38:38.000 Expect chaos.
01:38:39.000 If they're not ordered in the system, I know it's, I'm not like a New World Order, give everyone a number stamp on their arm, but like I got a social security number.
01:38:48.000 You know, I pay my taxes, I'm in the system.
01:38:51.000 So if you don't systemize these people and you just, you got it.
01:38:56.000 Well, they are systemized.
01:38:57.000 I mean, they're in the system to collect.
01:39:01.000 So this is where there's like a miscommunication here when it comes to government, you know, He's doing like an opportunity cost analysis.
01:39:10.000 Mom Dami is, and he's thinking, we're going to lose money, but we're going to gain human flourishing as a result.
01:39:16.000 And we're going to invest in other people.
01:39:17.000 Yeah.
01:39:18.000 Voters.
01:39:19.000 They're going to gain voters.
01:39:20.000 That's exactly what the project is for them.
01:39:23.000 And maybe it's even more altruistic.
01:39:24.000 Maybe he truly just wants to help the humans, the human race.
01:39:28.000 But you've got to calculate the cost.
01:39:31.000 He wants to help himself get elected to positions of authority.
01:39:35.000 And he's saying, look, and he's basically catering to the people that voted him into the office.
01:39:40.000 You know?
01:39:41.000 I got to read the whole story to get the full context of what this dude's suing the Trump administration over preventing illegals from getting benefits.
01:39:54.000 It's not particularly complex.
01:39:59.000 Lawsuit brought by New York City and other cities accused the government of unfairly targeting immigrants receiving public benefits.
01:40:05.000 What they're leaving out is they're here illegally.
01:40:08.000 No, no, not all of them.
01:40:08.000 They're not.
01:40:09.000 It's just you can't get residence if you're a public charge and not a citizen.
01:40:12.000 Yeah.
01:40:13.000 Many of them are illegal immigrants.
01:40:16.000 And again, this is what the left swears up and down never happens.
01:40:22.000 If they're here illegally, of course they don't get benefits.
01:40:24.000 Of course they can't get benefits.
01:40:26.000 Everyone knows that it happens.
01:40:29.000 And now, of course, when the Trump administration tries to stop it, he's like, no, we're going to sue to make sure that you can't stop it because that's my voter base.
01:40:38.000 Those are the people that I'm concerned with.
01:40:40.000 Not the Americans that were born here, but people that immigrated here and whether they came here legally or illegally.
01:40:48.000 So, when you argue this stuff, there's like layers of argument because some people be like, no, they should definitely have benefits.
01:40:55.000 No, they shouldn't have benefits.
01:40:56.000 But, like, bro, what are you even arguing?
01:40:57.000 They shouldn't even be here.
01:40:59.000 If it's illegal, what are we arguing about right now?
01:40:59.000 Yeah.
01:41:01.000 They're illegally here.
01:41:03.000 They should be deported back to where they're legally allowed to be, like El Salvador.
01:41:08.000 I think so.
01:41:09.000 I don't know.
01:41:10.000 Maybe I'm missing something and maybe I'm being a little too black and white on this issue.
01:41:14.000 No, you're not.
01:41:15.000 I think when these people come, you should pay for their stuff.
01:41:15.000 No, that's a good point.
01:41:18.000 Like some illegal activity, I'm okay with if it's good, if it's doing good for the world and it happens to be a bad thing.
01:41:24.000 But also, you should pay for it too.
01:41:25.000 Like, so if there's a guy who is committing a crime, like he's smoking pot, right?
01:41:31.000 I think that when he gets arrested and charged, you, Ian, should personally have to pay for his legal bills.
01:41:37.000 Nah.
01:41:37.000 Jeez.
01:41:38.000 But if he steals something, you get part of that too.
01:41:41.000 I mean, there you go.
01:41:41.000 Oh, really?
01:41:43.000 Well, we're not getting anything from them, so it's unfortunately not how it works.
01:41:47.000 They come here illegally, they come here legally and over to their visas, then they go on public benefits, and the American citizen has to pay for it.
01:41:55.000 I'm past like the empathy age of empathy, man.
01:41:58.000 I understand you feel bad.
01:41:59.000 Whoever I'm talking to right now, you ladies, you guys, whoever you are, but like, dude, we got a world to save, like a weapons program to manufacture with the artificial intelligence.
01:42:08.000 Like, it's just no time for feeling sad for your neighbor.
01:42:11.000 I understand, I understand humanity is important, but like, there ain't going to be a humanity in 20 years if we don't get our act together.
01:42:19.000 And I'm real serious about that.
01:42:21.000 That's not a joke.
01:42:22.000 That's actually true.
01:42:24.000 I don't want to be alarmist because I'm not normally, I thought that the bees dying off in 2007 meant the entire species was going to die off shortly after, but.
01:42:32.000 You know, there are ways to change the trajectory that we're on.
01:42:35.000 I just, the people getting stumbled by how they feel is such a danger.
01:42:41.000 And if AI looks at people and thinks that we're incapable of governing ourselves, it will do it for us.
01:42:48.000 That's why we need to end immigration for 20 years, 30 years.
01:42:54.000 It's got 50.
01:42:56.000 There's an incoming problem that a lot of people aren't noticing.
01:43:00.000 And this is the immigration problem in Canada.
01:43:03.000 So, a lot of these immigrants are going to end up coming into the United States because Canada is crashing their own economy.
01:43:10.000 When that happens, a lot of those people aren't going to want to go back to Punjab or wherever the heck they're from.
01:43:15.000 They're going to want to come to the United States.
01:43:18.000 And that's what they're going to do through this giant, porous border.
01:43:21.000 And it's going to be terrible.
01:43:24.000 Like, if you think what was happening on the southern border was massive, this is going to be enormous.
01:43:28.000 So, you're saying people illegally immigrated to Canada and then the economy is getting worse as a result?
01:43:34.000 They legally immigrated to Canada through a bunch of schemes that the government set up so that they could also buy voters, basically.
01:43:42.000 So it'll be Canadians coming to the United States, right?
01:43:45.000 Yes, Canadians, but they're not Canadians.
01:43:49.000 Like we're newcomers to the country.
01:43:52.000 It's unbelievable.
01:43:53.000 So what they did was they ran these schemes temporary student programs that was like a backdoor to actual immigration.
01:44:02.000 There were temporary foreign worker programs that was a backdoor to immigration.
01:44:06.000 And, like, in a country of 40 million people, like, 2 million of those in the past couple of years are all newcomers from the third world.
01:44:16.000 Newcomers.
01:44:17.000 Yeah.
01:44:17.000 5% of the country is like foreign newcomers.
01:44:21.000 5% of the country.
01:44:22.000 Like, no skill foreigners.
01:44:24.000 Oh, my God.
01:44:25.000 Yeah.
01:44:25.000 It's unbelievable.
01:44:26.000 Is there part of the American immigration process that says if you're from another country, but you've only had nationality there for like under a certain amount of time, we're going to treat you like you're actually from the country before?
01:44:36.000 Nope.
01:44:36.000 No, nationalized Canadians.
01:44:38.000 So, Canada is kind of like a stepping stone for a lot of people.
01:44:42.000 They couldn't get into America, and then they found these really easy back doors into Canada, and they're only there until they get their passport, and then they're filing to come to the United States.
01:44:53.000 As Canadians?
01:44:54.000 As Canadians.
01:44:55.000 And how long have they been citizens of Canada in the shorter instances?
01:44:59.000 Like as soon as they get it, they're filing their application.
01:45:02.000 So, I think you can go from right off of an airplane to citizen within like five or six years.
01:45:11.000 End all immigration for 20 to 30 years.
01:45:15.000 And then after 20 or 30 years, we can start talking about immigration.
01:45:19.000 I like the 01s, the super brilliant geniuses, because I want to snag all of them from the entire planet.
01:45:28.000 Work on our weapons program for us.
01:45:29.000 You might not even know what you're doing because you're going to be compartmentalized, but we need you here.
01:45:33.000 I know there might be Chinese super geniuses that might report to the CCP.
01:45:36.000 I don't think that we should have any immigration from China.
01:45:39.000 China is an adversary.
01:45:42.000 China is an asshole, right?
01:45:44.000 Well, I mean, I'm not going there because the thing is, like, people that are coming from China that want to come here, I don't have anything against them.
01:45:51.000 No.
01:45:52.000 But they're a liability because the CCP will throw their family in a hole.
01:45:57.000 Well, do you know about the police stations all across the world that China has?
01:46:01.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:46:02.000 They were allowed to go.
01:46:04.000 I think they're still operating in Canada, which is ridiculous.
01:46:07.000 They are.
01:46:07.000 They're there to police Chinese expats.
01:46:11.000 Yep.
01:46:11.000 So, like, it'll be someone who lives in your country, but they're afraid of the Chinese government because they're actually running police stations and visiting people, knocking on doors, saying, tell us what you know, do this for us, or else.
01:46:25.000 And people are running.
01:46:26.000 They're doing espionage and stuff for the Chinese government because they're afraid that punishment will come down to their family members back home.
01:46:34.000 It's got to be like a layer of government that we're not purview to, that's like where the Americans and the Chinese are really locked up, like the deep state or something.
01:46:42.000 They've been planning this whole thing forever.
01:46:44.000 That's why they have so much industry there, Chinese police stations.
01:46:48.000 They're just totally happy with the way it's bumbling forward.
01:46:50.000 But then there's like the Donald Trump layer where it's like China's an adversary, Chinese people.
01:46:55.000 So they're running rough shot.
01:46:58.000 And it's all happening right under our noses.
01:47:01.000 In British Columbia, Canada, there's a massive port where Chinese gangsters, the triads, they call them, they're connected to the CCP, right?
01:47:09.000 They're connected to the Chinese Communist Party, and they're bringing in all the precursor chemicals to make fentanyl and all these other bad drugs, right?
01:47:19.000 And they're supplying the world's markets through Canada using Mexican cartels to build these laboratories.
01:47:28.000 The Chinese are bringing this stuff in, and then it's supplying all of Europe.
01:47:32.000 It's supplying all of Australasia with the opium wars all over again.
01:47:38.000 It's crazy.
01:47:39.000 In Canada?
01:47:40.000 It's all happening.
01:47:41.000 And believe me, because what was it recently?
01:47:44.000 Even Not the Bee covered this.
01:47:46.000 It was an older story, but they just covered it recently, talking about the largest fentanyl lab in Canadian history, which is a humongous place in British Columbia.
01:47:58.000 The RCMP was tipped off by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
01:48:02.000 They're like, The FBI of Canada and they were tipped off by the FBI to go bust this lab.
01:48:08.000 They showed up and nobody was there.
01:48:11.000 Like, how was nobody there?
01:48:12.000 There was one guy that tipped off.
01:48:13.000 Yeah, they arrested some like East Indian guy, but it was the Chinese working with the Mexican cartels and somehow they weren't there.
01:48:21.000 So it's like there were people in the Canadian government who are working with them and they tipped them off.
01:48:26.000 I mean, that's what it looks like.
01:48:28.000 And there's testimony of people who worked in CBSA, which is the Customs Border Agency.
01:48:34.000 Where they're saying we're told to just look away at certain shipments that are coming in.
01:48:38.000 The fentanyl thing is another weapon program.
01:48:41.000 Absolutely.
01:48:41.000 Being able to control the opium poisoning and who gets it and where it goes, like what citizens are going to get the opium this time.
01:48:48.000 Like it was a tactic of the British in the late 1800s during the opium wars, they called it in China.
01:48:53.000 They were just dominating the Chinese population by getting them stoned on opium and they were useless, destroyed their economy.
01:48:58.000 That's why they were farmers aggregate in the 1920s.
01:49:01.000 They didn't have any industry because they were all opium heads, not all of them, but now.
01:49:05.000 That power has been moved around.
01:49:07.000 It's been obfuscated.
01:49:08.000 It's been put in Canada.
01:49:10.000 Like the Chinese obviously are trying to give it back.
01:49:12.000 You know, you did this to us.
01:49:13.000 Now we're going to poison your people through the cartels.
01:49:16.000 But we should treat it like a weapons program.
01:49:17.000 I would imagine we've got fentanyl labs in the US, I hope, where we're building massive amounts of fentanyl to poison the world.
01:49:25.000 Not that we're going to, but that we could if we wanted to.
01:49:28.000 We should be controlled.
01:49:29.000 I'm sure they think, like, Afghanistan was a lot about the poppies to get the opium, to control the opium trade.
01:49:34.000 So a lot of that Afghanistan stuff has contributed to our fentanyl.
01:49:38.000 And I believe fentanyl is a type of opiate.
01:49:40.000 I'm not sure.
01:49:41.000 Well, it's a drug that's actually used in surgeries.
01:49:44.000 But damn, son, you Canadians, you've got to treat that like a.
01:49:49.000 Clamp down on your weapons programs if they're being used under your nose.
01:49:52.000 So, this is what I've been trying to get out there is to show people this.
01:49:57.000 The Canadian populace just does not want to hear it.
01:50:00.000 They're under this illusion that the Canadian government's really good, they're altruistic and they're just looking out for everybody's good, like well being.
01:50:10.000 And it's bullshit.
01:50:11.000 And Canadians can't see it past it because of the propaganda that Canada's in.
01:50:11.000 It's bullshit.
01:50:16.000 So, in Canada, the media that's available to the Canadian people is the main one, CBC.
01:50:23.000 It's the state run broadcaster.
01:50:25.000 They're paid by tax dollars to the tune of $1.6 billion a year.
01:50:32.000 So that's like Donald Trump having a news agency that's paid for by tax dollars to the tune of like $16 billion, right?
01:50:41.000 Every year.
01:50:42.000 They run this propaganda outlet and it only runs stories that fit the narrative.
01:50:48.000 And then every other outlet has failed in the marketplace.
01:50:51.000 So the government steps in and subsidizes them to the tune of like hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
01:50:57.000 To basically give the information to a population of 40 million people, it's absurd.
01:51:03.000 And then when these stories happen, you don't have to look at it very long and say, I know what's happening here.
01:51:10.000 But the Canadian people don't even know about it.
01:51:13.000 So they think that America's just being mean to Canada.
01:51:17.000 America's stepping down and putting its foot down and saying, no, you can't do this anymore.
01:51:22.000 We're going to go to your Rumble rants and super chats.
01:51:25.000 So smash that like button, share the show with all your friends.
01:51:28.000 Don't forget to check out the new Tim Pool show.
01:51:30.000 The simulation theory episode went up.
01:51:33.000 It's a simulation theory, evidence of it through DMT, tryptamines, lasers.
01:51:38.000 I think it's one of the best pieces of kind of, I've ever done.
01:51:41.000 One of my favorite interviews ever with Danny Gohler as we talked about the nature of reality, science.
01:51:46.000 He's a very smart and pragmatic guy.
01:51:48.000 It's not hippy dippy weird stuff.
01:51:50.000 He's not claiming he has proven simulation theory.
01:51:52.000 He's saying he's found something interesting a shared signal between psychedelic experiences, any tryptamine, and now they're testing whether they've discovered a fundamental structure of the human mind, which may just be regular old science.
01:52:05.000 Or something fundamentally different.
01:52:07.000 A repeating pattern of symbols seen through a diffracted laser.
01:52:12.000 Very, very interesting.
01:52:13.000 And he even said, probably it's just this is how the human brain works and it's a discovery in neuroscience.
01:52:18.000 So he's a very smart and very pragmatic guy, and I thought it was a fantastic conversation.
01:52:21.000 Check that out.
01:52:23.000 We got True Binness says, Missouri has multiple aluminum factories.
01:52:27.000 Cool.
01:52:28.000 Do they really?
01:52:28.000 Well, that's good.
01:52:30.000 Disgruntled Vet says, I just got both of my USA 250 boards today.
01:52:34.000 Thank you.
01:52:35.000 We need higher numbers made to help out the USA made companies.
01:52:39.000 So, here's what ends up happening.
01:52:40.000 We get a bunch of emails from people who've been like, Where's my board?
01:52:42.000 And I kept telling the crew, I was like, Look, you got to tell the guys we can get them a China board if they want.
01:52:48.000 Every person who got emails was like, Hell no.
01:52:51.000 They were like, No, we're good.
01:52:53.000 And then nobody wanted a refund.
01:52:55.000 So, I think just a lot of people who order the boards don't watch every episode.
01:52:58.000 They didn't know what the issue was other than we just weren't getting it.
01:53:01.000 So, when the crew emailed the messages to them and said, Look, three American factories went under.
01:53:06.000 We are going for American factories.
01:53:08.000 We're not going to get China boards.
01:53:09.000 They immediately said, Take as much time as you need.
01:53:12.000 But the good news is all the boards are shipped.
01:53:13.000 So, my understanding is all the boards have shipped anyway.
01:53:15.000 Multiple arrivals in the last 48 hours.
01:53:17.000 People are tweeting at me.
01:53:18.000 We're also really close to finishing Ian's Betrayal, the comic, I believe.
01:53:22.000 I think it's like, yeah.
01:53:25.000 Ian is a red coat who turns.
01:53:27.000 And, you know, the point of the writing is that Ian has one of his existential crises where he's like, I just don't know if it's right to betray the king.
01:53:35.000 It's disloyal, you know?
01:53:36.000 And, like, even if he's bad to us, we got to be honorable, right?
01:53:39.000 Long live the king.
01:53:40.000 And then the American Patriots are like, they'll be like, am I flying or is the world just falling away?
01:53:46.000 But here's the thing.
01:53:47.000 Most of us don't know.
01:53:48.000 In the photo, it looks like I'm shooting Ian.
01:53:50.000 I'm not.
01:53:51.000 No one knows.
01:53:52.000 No one knows.
01:53:53.000 That's not true.
01:53:53.000 It was Full that launched the bullet.
01:53:55.000 You're falling down with a shot to your chest.
01:53:58.000 My gun's firing near head level, but you're already falling, indicating you'd already been shot.
01:54:03.000 And Phil's is the musket with smoke coming out of it.
01:54:06.000 Oh, that's a dirty realization.
01:54:09.000 Oops.
01:54:10.000 What are you going to do?
01:54:11.000 All right.
01:54:12.000 I'm coming for you first.
01:54:13.000 Mason says, Tim, Sub Saharan Africans will destroy public works for 50 cents of scrap metal and rebar when they aren't.
01:54:20.000 Killing bald people to check their skull for gold.
01:54:22.000 I don't think Jobber is for them.
01:54:24.000 You're wrong.
01:54:24.000 You're wrong.
01:54:25.000 It is.
01:54:26.000 When the thing pops up and it shows a picture of a weird rock and it says free money and they go, oh, and they grab the rock.
01:54:33.000 Listen, crows will fly around picking up money in exchange for nuts.
01:54:38.000 You know this?
01:54:39.000 They'll pay you for nuts?
01:54:40.000 There are tons of people who have trained crows.
01:54:44.000 So this one guy did a TED talk.
01:54:45.000 Here's what he did.
01:54:47.000 He built a machine and he had a tray.
01:54:49.000 And if coins, he put nuts on the tray.
01:54:52.000 Crows came down, ate the nuts.
01:54:54.000 Crows naturally sweep the ground after the food's gone to find more food.
01:54:58.000 He put coins in the tray.
01:54:59.000 The crow knocks the coin into the hole, nuts came down.
01:55:03.000 The crows quickly learned push the coin in the tray, nuts will come down.
01:55:07.000 Once they pushed all the coins in the tray, he had coins scattered on the ground around the machine.
01:55:12.000 The crows jumped down, grabbed the coin, jumped up, and put it in the machine, and nuts came out.
01:55:16.000 Then, once all those coins were gone, the crows started flying around the neighborhood looking for coins to put in the machine to get nuts.
01:55:23.000 And he was like, He's like, I made like $12 so far.
01:55:26.000 It's fantastic.
01:55:28.000 Other people have made videos following suit where they trained crows based on dollar bills.
01:55:33.000 So, same technique dollar bills, the crows would fly around and find cash money and then fly and drop it off and get food.
01:55:41.000 If a crow can learn, even whatever you might think about them breaking open the skulls of bald people for gold, you explain to them rock means food and they'll give you rocks for food.
01:55:53.000 Hunger is the best teacher.
01:55:55.000 Yes.
01:55:56.000 I don't know.
01:55:56.000 Is that true?
01:55:57.000 I think so.
01:55:59.000 DSA says this call pulling the ladder up to the other AI company.
01:56:03.000 This guy is not noble.
01:56:03.000 Ian, wake up.
01:56:05.000 I don't, it's no shame on that guy.
01:56:07.000 He's harnessing an insane beast trying to CEO Anthropic.
01:56:10.000 So you should read Machines of Love and Grace, Dario, I want Modi, whatever his last name is.
01:56:16.000 I think it's Modi, I think it's Modi, whatever.
01:56:19.000 But you should read Machines of Love and Grace.
01:56:21.000 He wrote that?
01:56:21.000 It's an essay that he wrote, yeah.
01:56:23.000 Get a little insight into what he thinks.
01:56:29.000 Moti.
01:56:30.000 All right, let's see.
01:56:34.000 What do we have here?
01:56:35.000 Money for Charity says the duper's delight smile on Carney's face won't become the 51st state, but the 28th member of the European Union.
01:56:44.000 Doesn't even consult Parliament.
01:56:45.000 Thank God for guys like Tim and Clyde with real news.
01:56:49.000 Yeah, Canada's no longer a democratic nation.
01:56:52.000 It's unreal.
01:56:53.000 So Carney came in, he was installed as the leader.
01:56:56.000 So he came in to fill in for Justin Trudeau when Justin Trudeau's Popularity came in, or when it tanked, right?
01:57:02.000 Tanked because the economy was falling apart.
01:57:05.000 And then Mark Carney was selected for the process to become the next leader.
01:57:11.000 They had like two other people that were going to win Pierre Puliev.
01:57:14.000 No, no, no.
01:57:15.000 I mean, in the Liberal Party, there were like two other people that were going against him, and they disqualified those two people so that Mark Carney would be the guy to go against Pierre Polyev in the last election.
01:57:26.000 Did they do it legally?
01:57:28.000 It's within the party.
01:57:29.000 So they just say, well, that's party rules.
01:57:32.000 They found some way to just disqualify you.
01:57:34.000 Is it a private company?
01:57:35.000 Because the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are private companies.
01:57:37.000 That's right.
01:57:38.000 So it worked like that.
01:57:39.000 DNC and the Army and the Republican Companies.
01:57:41.000 And then they hammed up this whole trade war thing that's not really an issue.
01:57:46.000 For Canada, it's become an issue because Canada's become so defiant against this trade war thing.
01:57:51.000 But they've drummed it up.
01:57:53.000 They've drummed up a lot of anti American sentiment that's been in Canada since the end of the War of Independence, really.
01:58:03.000 Because those people in Canada were largely the Tory militiamen that got kicked out of the United States after the war.
01:58:11.000 So that animosity has been around for a long time.
01:58:13.000 But yeah, it's unbelievable.
01:58:17.000 Now Mark Carney's in office.
01:58:20.000 They're not meeting for Parliament for any of these issues.
01:58:24.000 And he's just making new declarations.
01:58:26.000 Yeah, we're joining the European Union.
01:58:29.000 So is he doing that at the behest of the Governor General?
01:58:32.000 So that's technically how the job works.
01:58:35.000 So it's the Governor General that actually holds the power in Canada because that's the person who's answerable to the King of England, which still rules over Canada.
01:58:43.000 I mean, that's ultimately the end of the day.
01:58:46.000 But he, Mark Carney, you know, the Prime Minister is a broker, but it's supposed to be answerable to the people of Parliament.
01:58:51.000 And he's not doing that.
01:58:52.000 He's going, he's making unilateral decisions everywhere, behaving like a dictator.
01:58:57.000 It's unbelievable.
01:58:59.000 And now he's the whole joke here is that, you know, the fight against Trump is because Canada might lose its sovereignty, but they're just handing sovereignty over to the European Union.
01:59:09.000 It's unbelievable.
01:59:10.000 Yeah, that was with Harry Tubman.
01:59:12.000 I would have freed many more slaves if they'd known that they were enslaved.
01:59:15.000 Like, it's hard to get the Canadians.
01:59:17.000 A lot of Canadians I talked to don't even realize they're governed by the King of England.
01:59:20.000 Like, that's a hard pill to swallow for people that have been told we live in a democratic society of self.
01:59:26.000 Like, I don't know why the Canadians have been misled to not understand they're part of the crown.
01:59:26.000 Determination.
01:59:30.000 It's on their money.
01:59:32.000 It's right there.
01:59:33.000 It's unbelievable.
01:59:34.000 But yeah, this is the ignorance that Canadians have to their own system, how everything works.
01:59:41.000 And they're happier than pigs and shit because they're just like, oh, they live in their bliss.
01:59:45.000 Watch the CBC and they're told every day that, no, no, it's all good.
01:59:49.000 It's all, don't worry about it.
01:59:51.000 And, you know, the real threat is Donald Trump, orange man.
01:59:55.000 But the real threat is the Canadian government.
02:00:00.000 Let's see what we got.
02:00:02.000 The shift says, Clyde, bro, you made it on TimCast.
02:00:05.000 Amazing that you're getting the word out that Canada is in big, big trouble.
02:00:09.000 You made this Canuck proud.
02:00:10.000 Let's get it.
02:00:11.000 We, like the Canadians, I feel like are, it seems to me they're disproportionately, or relative to Americans, are more involved in their own politics.
02:00:21.000 Maybe it's just that smaller population.
02:00:25.000 So it's easy for it to seem that way.
02:00:28.000 And that CBC, that government news organization that they fund, $1.6 billion.
02:00:33.000 A year the government pours into their propaganda news station, CBC is what it's called.
02:00:37.000 That's correct.
02:00:37.000 Yeah.
02:00:38.000 That's Canadian Brockhead organizing and mass forming the Canadian population into one like political way of thinking.
02:00:45.000 And it works.
02:00:46.000 I mean, look at it right now.
02:00:48.000 Like, even the conservatives, like many people on the conservative side are raw, raw, you know, let's go against America.
02:00:55.000 This is exactly why I said that Canadians should never be able to vote in any American election.
02:01:01.000 I'm with you.
02:01:02.000 I'm with you on that.
02:01:03.000 Like, you know, the 51st state's a funny joke.
02:01:05.000 I think if America ever did.
02:01:07.000 Step in and take care of Canada because I mean, clearly, they can't govern themselves at this point.
02:01:13.000 But if that were to ever happen, I mean, the best they should offer they should get is like to be a territory like Puerto Rico, right?
02:01:20.000 Like, I would like to see Canada's provinces become, if not states, broken into areas that could become states.
02:01:28.000 But it would have to be both sides wanted it, and we would develop a better constitution for like the 21st century of like self determinate governance.
02:01:37.000 Well, you're in luck because there are two provinces that are currently.
02:01:40.000 You know, looking to separate.
02:01:42.000 So, the Quebecers, the French province in Eastern Canada, has been threatening to do that for a long time.
02:01:48.000 They've got a lot of political power because of that.
02:01:50.000 They had a referendum in the 90s, but there's a referendum coming up in October on the 19th.
02:01:57.000 It's a silly one because it's a question on whether they should have a referendum on separating.
02:02:04.000 This is a nasty ploy that they use in Canada to just basically try to stop movements.
02:02:09.000 So, what they've done is there's a giant petition that went out.
02:02:13.000 In Alberta to have a referendum to separate.
02:02:17.000 Now, they got all the signatures that they needed.
02:02:20.000 They got all of this stuff, and it was just about to go through the initiative.
02:02:24.000 And they said, Well, you didn't consult the natives.
02:02:27.000 So we're throwing it out.
02:02:29.000 Some activist judge just throws it out.
02:02:30.000 You didn't consult the natives.
02:02:32.000 So you're, you know, democracy, shimocracy, right?
02:02:35.000 They don't care.
02:02:36.000 So they threw that out.
02:02:37.000 But then the premier of the province said, Okay, well, here we go.
02:02:40.000 We're going to give you a question on whether you should have a question, and we'll do it that way.
02:02:44.000 And then, if that goes through, then we'll have an actual referendum.
02:02:48.000 But there's a genuine large movement in Alberta, which is like the Texas of Canada, right?
02:02:54.000 It's where all the oil comes from.
02:02:55.000 It's a huge conservative base there.
02:02:59.000 There's a huge contingency in that province that wants out.
02:03:03.000 They don't want to be part of Canada anymore.
02:03:06.000 It would be such a conflict between the British and the Americans if we tried to take their oil producer in North America.
02:03:12.000 We're not trying to do anything.
02:03:13.000 They're trying to leave.
02:03:15.000 If we allowed it, if we were like, yeah, sure.
02:03:17.000 Howard looked the other way while you come in.
02:03:18.000 What do we have to say about it?
02:03:20.000 The UK is breaking up.

02:05:54.000 Assuming they played him, I paid him, and he plays for 14 hours, and he's just like, yeah, I wouldn't buy it.
02:05:59.000 Wow, really?
02:06:00.000 Yeah.
02:06:01.000 14 hour stream straight through.
02:06:02.000 He plays the whole game.
02:06:03.000 There's videos of people holding the control in their hand and not pressing a button, and the game is just going and being itself.
02:06:09.000 Yep.
02:06:09.000 What's the point of that?
02:06:11.000 There's a lot of people.
02:06:11.000 It's retardation.
02:06:13.000 Look, you bring in a bunch of.
02:06:17.000 This is about immigration.
02:06:19.000 Yeah.
02:06:22.000 What do you mean?
02:06:24.000 Door.
02:06:25.000 We have security.
02:06:27.000 It's intentionally open.
02:06:30.000 When you bring in a bunch of low IQ people and you want to sell a product to them, you can't make it hard.
02:06:36.000 You just can't.
02:06:37.000 Well, yeah.
02:06:38.000 So, have you seen the game Wolverine?
02:06:40.000 No, you're talking about it.
02:06:41.000 It plays itself.
02:06:42.000 There's clips where people are holding their controllers up, and like the QuickTime events are just auto auto.
02:06:47.000 He's on the motorcycle, and it doesn't matter what you do, he always wins.
02:06:51.000 And I'm saying when you have a country that is largely third worlders and you want to sell them a game, it can't be hard.
02:06:56.000 It's got to be the lowest common denominator.
02:06:58.000 This was also an argument that a lot of gamers have been making for a while.
02:07:01.000 Like, you know, like Mega Man was like, I think it was Mega Man 2 or Mega Man 3 was impossible.
02:07:07.000 Like, it was super hard.
02:07:09.000 And like, then there was a bunch of people that, as the studios kind of changed and as games became more, as video games became more an entertainment kind of thing.
02:07:23.000 You know, popular entertainment method of entertainment.
02:07:25.000 Um, they decided that they didn't want to make the games so hard anymore because people wouldn't play them.
02:07:32.000 If you have, you know, an audience that gets bored because they can't get past a certain stage, they go, you know, three, four, five times, they can't get past it, and they keep dying, they're like, oh, well, I'm not going to play.
02:07:42.000 You don't want that, especially seeing as you've got the loot boxes in games nowadays, etc.
02:07:47.000 So they don't make hard games anymore.
02:07:49.000 They don't make games where you're not going to be able to finish it unless you actually put some effort into it.
02:07:54.000 Like, They make games that are very easy.
02:07:56.000 And a lot of the older gamers, you know, they were like, look, this sucks.
02:08:00.000 It used to be games were challenging and you get a real sense of reward for finishing.
02:08:06.000 And now games don't have the same kind of, you know, they're not challenging that way anymore.
02:08:10.000 Yeah, it would be a real sense of reward for finishing, but it would also be a real sense of punishment for failing.
02:08:16.000 It was like, oh my God, I spent two hours playing and now all of my work is lost.
02:08:21.000 I have to start over from the beginning.
02:08:22.000 They call them roguelike.
02:08:24.000 It's a genre now because it's so uncommon.
02:08:25.000 I played Metal Gear Solid 2 and beat it without a memory card.
02:08:28.000 It took me like nine hours.
02:08:30.000 I beat Zelda without dying.
02:08:31.000 I got so good at the game, I could beat the entire first Zelda game from start to finish without dying.
02:08:35.000 I did it in front of a bunch of kids one year.
02:08:37.000 So, this isn't the first time this has been a controversy.
02:08:39.000 So, the idea of games being too easy.
02:08:45.000 Originally, games were hard because they only had so much memory in a cartridge to make the game, right?
02:08:51.000 So, in order to have a longer lasting experience with the game, you make it hard so it takes more practice to get to the end, essentially.
02:09:00.000 And then people speedrun it or whatever.
02:09:02.000 But it was Mario 2 on the SNES.
02:09:07.000 On the regular Nintendo?
02:09:08.000 Oh, sorry, on the NES.
02:09:08.000 On the NES.
02:09:09.000 Yeah, you're right.
02:09:10.000 So Mario 2 on the NES was released in Japan, and they did a test market in America, and people hated it.
02:09:16.000 Japan loved it because it was just a harder version of the first one.
02:09:21.000 But in America, the American market didn't like that.
02:09:24.000 They're like, no, we want something new.
02:09:26.000 Like a story.
02:09:27.000 So they did, was it Doki Island Panic?
02:09:29.000 Doki Doki something?
02:09:30.000 Doki Doki Panic, yeah.
02:09:32.000 Yeah, Doki Doki Panic.
02:09:33.000 The reason why people didn't like Mario 2, it was actually almost identical to Mario 1, except it was harder, is there were things like poison mushrooms.
02:09:42.000 And what happened was when they gave it to the Americans who were very familiar with Mario, they immediately jumped for the mushroom and said, Why would you do that?
02:09:50.000 And it's legitimate, I agree.
02:09:52.000 It's bad game development.
02:09:54.000 So if the point of a game is to present the rules, which Mario 1 did perfectly, game devs often cite how Mario 1's opening level is the perfect gameplay breakdown.
02:10:06.000 They introduce a Goomba.
02:10:09.000 You touch him, you die.
02:10:10.000 You learn, don't touch.
02:10:11.000 You jump on him.
02:10:12.000 I get it.
02:10:13.000 There's immediately bricks you can't break.
02:10:15.000 Question mark box with a mushroom in it right away, showing you that it makes Mario big.
02:10:19.000 Then you get the pipes.
02:10:20.000 You can jump over them.
02:10:22.000 The third pipe, you can go down.
02:10:23.000 Immediately after that is a hidden one up box.
02:10:26.000 They have shown you all the parameters of the game and a fire flower.
02:10:30.000 They said, here are the power ups, here are the bad guys, here's how the game works.
02:10:34.000 In the second version, they said, now mushrooms kill you.
02:10:38.000 So Americans who are trained on what Mario is, Playing a game that is functionally the same, start the game and get killed.
02:10:46.000 And they said, That's just mean.
02:10:49.000 You have explained the rules of the game in part one, introduced new, more difficult levels, but instead of it being based on what we know, you've introduced new rules that simply trick us.
02:10:59.000 I don't want to play it.
02:11:00.000 I agree with that.
02:11:00.000 It's bad game dev.
02:11:01.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:11:02.000 And the two different cultures responded differently.
02:11:04.000 Yeah.
02:11:05.000 Japanese people loved it.
02:11:06.000 So I loved it because I hadn't played the first one yet.
02:11:09.000 I know, but I hadn't played it.
02:11:11.000 You were talking about the lost levels.
02:11:13.000 Mario 2 is what I'm talking about.
02:11:14.000 Mario 2's original game was not the Mario 2.
02:11:17.000 Right, right.
02:11:18.000 But I had it in America before I had Mario 1.
02:11:20.000 I played Mario 1, I knew it, but then I got Mario 2.
02:11:22.000 You're saying you had the Lost Levels?
02:11:24.000 Just Super Mario Bros. 2.
02:11:25.000 Yeah, that was a different game.
02:11:26.000 That's the Game of Thrones.
02:11:29.000 You're not talking about that.
02:11:30.000 We're talking about the Lost Levels.
02:11:30.000 I never played the Lost Levels, no.
02:11:32.000 That was the real one.
02:11:32.000 Yes.
02:11:33.000 That was where you got the Poison Mushroom?
02:11:34.000 Yes.
02:11:35.000 Oh.
02:11:35.000 So Poison Mushrooms now exist across Mario lore in various degrees.
02:11:40.000 So when you got Super Mario All Stars, they released the actual Super Mario 2 as Mario's Lost Levels.
02:11:46.000 Because it was the same game with more difficult levels, and they added things like Poison Mushroom.
02:11:52.000 So, again, in game development, one of the worst things you can do is they say you always want it to be that the first level teaches you the rules.
02:12:02.000 So, you understand and improve as you play, you're having fun.
02:12:04.000 It's gamification.
02:12:06.000 But if you then abruptly change the rules, people feel like for no reason I was punished.
02:12:12.000 If I don't have the knowledge on how to play, I can't play it good or bad, you're simply wasting my time.
02:12:17.000 So, that's one of the issues I take with trials.
02:12:21.000 I'm ridiculously good at trials on PlayStation.
02:12:24.000 But one of the challenges is, one of the annoying things about it is, you have to do a lot of the races more than once because to maximize speed against a timer for the goal, so it's annoying, you have to know whether a jump is going to be full speed or half speed or low speed.
02:12:40.000 So if you're not familiar with trials, it's not necessarily a racing game.
02:12:43.000 You're a motorcycle and you've got to do obstacles.
02:12:46.000 There are races in it.
02:12:48.000 If you go full speed on the best bike up a big jump and it launches you in the air, your hang time.
02:12:55.000 Adds milliseconds to your time.
02:12:57.000 So if you know the map already, you hit the break just before and you go up only a little bit and go down and slam the gas.
02:13:05.000 One of the issues I take with Trials Rising, one of the later iterations, is that in these races, you're like, I got to play it three times to know where the jumps are to be able to beat it instead of just being good at the game.
02:13:17.000 It's quite annoying.
02:13:18.000 That's how Battletoads was too.
02:13:19.000 A lot of those old early games, it was just you had to learn the level and you just learn through trial and error, smashing into the walls as they come flying towards you on level.
02:13:27.000 Four or whatever, and then eventually you memorize it's up, down, up, up, down, down, up, up, down, down, jump, jump, down, up, jump, up, down, and you memorize the pattern.
02:13:36.000 And then it's like to the point where you know where the enemy is going to come from.
02:13:39.000 I that was a cruel game because you had to get to that level first, so you had to go through all of these steps just to find out what the pattern was.
02:13:46.000 It was so hard, maybe the most hardcore Nintendo game, that and the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
02:13:52.000 Good God, I could never beat them without the game genie.
02:13:54.000 Well, you know how the Konami code became a thing, right?
02:13:54.000 I couldn't do it.
02:13:58.000 So there's the code.
02:14:00.000 For Contra, yeah, to get a cheat so you can have infinite lives.
02:14:03.000 30, yeah.
02:14:05.000 It was actually put into the code of the game so that the game developer testers could do infinite lives and actually get through the game because it was so hard, right?
02:14:15.000 It was intentionally a really hard game.
02:14:18.000 But then when they actually printed the game onto cards and put it out, they forgot to erase that part of the code and somebody figured it out, right?
02:14:27.000 And then that was like the first cheat code ever in a game.
02:14:30.000 Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, BA star.
02:14:32.000 You remember it.
02:14:33.000 I beat the game without dying, beat Contra.
02:14:35.000 But to my, unfortunately, I did put in the code before that run.
02:14:39.000 So I had like 35 guys at the end of the run, but I didn't die.
02:14:42.000 I beat all of Contra without dying.
02:14:44.000 It's very impressive.
02:14:45.000 I'm good at things when I set my mind to them.
02:14:48.000 Otherwise, I seem like an ambivalent idiot about it because I don't want people to ask me to do it if I don't like it.
02:14:54.000 Is someone listening?
02:14:56.000 I'm both ways on game difficulty.
02:14:56.000 So I don't know, man.
02:14:58.000 I like games that are.
02:15:00.000 Enjoyable and relaxing, but also I love hardcore.
02:15:04.000 And if there's ways to like toggle a game, like if you could play Wolverine in normal hard mode, everybody wants the joke, but I'm sure Gino told the joke already.
02:15:13.000 What's the joke?
02:15:15.000 There was a so Gino said AI can't make jokes and it gave us a bunch of real shit jokes.
02:15:20.000 I was using an uncensored, I was using Venice because uncensored.
02:15:22.000 And then I kept telling it like you suck at this.
02:15:25.000 And then I said, I don't think you understand jokes at all.
02:15:27.000 And it goes, no, I do.
02:15:28.000 I understand the structure.
02:15:29.000 And I said, then make a fucking joke.
02:15:31.000 And it told a joke that everybody like, whoa.
02:15:36.000 And Gino was like, I stand corrected.
02:15:38.000 It was really bad.
02:15:39.000 I ain't reading that.
02:15:40.000 Nobody wanted to read it.
02:15:41.000 Gino said, He'll read it on his show.
02:15:43.000 It's his joke now.
02:15:44.000 Oh, okay.
02:15:45.000 It was as offensive as a joke could be.
02:15:51.000 Yeah, impressively.
02:15:53.000 And it was amazing that it was a racist joke against black people that nailed in like 10 words.
02:16:00.000 It was like, it was a super joke.
02:16:03.000 Dude, it's going to be able to rage bait so many people.
02:16:06.000 I wish I heard it.
02:16:07.000 The joke?
02:16:08.000 Yeah.
02:16:09.000 I was like, there's no context in which I can read it.
02:16:12.000 Basically, the punchlines of it were dehumanizing black people, insulting their culture, and mocking police brutality in like 10 words.
02:16:23.000 And I was like, ah!
02:16:26.000 When I say it's going to be able to rage people, it's not that joke itself.
02:16:26.000 That was the joke.
02:16:28.000 It's that AI can write that concision and rage people.
02:16:33.000 It sounds like you could rage bait certain people if they thought you were saying it.
02:16:36.000 It's a joke that's so offensive that even on the uncensored show, People are saying, Tim, tell the joke.
02:16:42.000 No, guys, listen.
02:16:43.000 There are things that I won't say.
02:16:45.000 The uncensored show is that we can say, we can say like vaccines are, you know, have microplasma, whatever the fuck.
02:16:51.000 You know what I mean?
02:16:52.000 The uncensored show is that we can speak as we choose without fear of being taken off.
02:16:59.000 But I don't want to tell the joke.
02:17:02.000 And the ramifications, Gino will.
02:17:06.000 I actually don't think it's the worst joke imaginable because long form jokes can be way worse.
02:17:10.000 Like, if you did a long form joke like the aristocrats, but it was racist, and you just were for like minutes just spewing slurs, like, that's worse.
02:17:17.000 But for a two liner, I was like, wow, really bad.
02:17:22.000 And I do think, like, even Rumble would get mad.
02:17:26.000 Nick Fuentes would say it in two seconds and laugh his ass off the whole time, and his audience would grow.
02:17:26.000 Really?
02:17:30.000 You know what I mean?
02:17:31.000 But I'm not interested in saying that joke.
02:17:34.000 After the after show.
02:17:36.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:17:37.000 But Gino told, he said he was going to tell the joke today on his show.
02:17:40.000 Is there footage of it?
02:17:40.000 Oh, okay.
02:17:40.000 There you go.
02:17:42.000 I don't know.
02:17:43.000 But people who are like, what's the joke?
02:17:45.000 Ask Gino, he'll tell you.
02:17:46.000 Because it's not like, it's a two liner, so it's as bad as a two liner can be.
02:17:55.000 That's about it.
02:17:57.000 Like a long form joke, like a story, could be substantially worse, you know?
02:18:02.000 So it's not like it's that bad, but it really.
02:18:05.000 And then Gino's like, I stand corrected.
02:18:06.000 Holy shit.
02:18:07.000 Like, wow.
02:18:09.000 And then there was another joke where I was like, oh, this is a pretty good one.
02:18:11.000 I'm not going to tell it, though, because it's also like fairly bad.
02:18:15.000 And then I showed it to him, and he's like, what?
02:18:16.000 You won't make jokes about Jews?
02:18:18.000 And then I was like, I was going to tell the joke, actually.
02:18:20.000 But now that everyone knows it's a Jew joke, so the joke is, why won't rats infest Italian neighborhoods?
02:18:27.000 Professional courtesy.
02:18:27.000 Why?
02:18:31.000 I was making fun of him because he's Italian, though.
02:18:33.000 Yeah.
02:18:34.000 Yeah.
02:18:35.000 Man, I don't even know what to say.
02:18:38.000 I haven't messed.
02:18:39.000 Well, actually, I have messed with AI's ability to create funny situations, scripts, and lines, and it's.
02:18:45.000 We got to bring in callers.
02:18:46.000 We got to bring in callers, man.
02:18:47.000 We got BD actual right here, just in time to interrupt Ian.
02:18:51.000 Oh, good.
02:18:52.000 Yo, what's up?
02:18:53.000 What's up, man?
02:18:55.000 Calling in from the Goon Cave, talking to you guys on my sunglasses.
02:18:58.000 Future's wild.
02:19:01.000 What?
02:19:02.000 The one and only Goon Cave.
02:19:02.000 Gross.
02:19:04.000 Really?
02:19:04.000 My bedroom.
02:19:05.000 Okay.
02:19:06.000 Nice.
02:19:07.000 Smells good.
02:19:08.000 Very good.
02:19:08.000 Oh, yeah.
02:19:10.000 All right.
02:19:11.000 So I was at the Martinsburg coffee shop opening.
02:19:16.000 Awesome.
02:19:16.000 Ian, I got to talk to you.
02:19:18.000 I love you, man.
02:19:19.000 I'm going to compliment sandwich you.
02:19:22.000 We were sitting at the table, and I told you that you think like a scientist, and I was glazing you and shit.
02:19:29.000 My question.
02:19:31.000 For you is lately, you've been on this whole DNA RNA kind of like hyper fixation.
02:19:38.000 Maybe I'm missing something, um, but to me, it kind of sounds like you don't know what you're talking about, but I maybe I'm missing something.
02:19:46.000 Like, why is like Tim's talking about like you know whatever, and you'll change the subject and talk about like DNA and RNA.
02:19:54.000 Why am I doing it?
02:19:56.000 Yeah, often it's because I think in like cycles and patterns.
02:20:00.000 So, if we're talking about anything where there's some form of replication within the system, we're talking about if we're talking about AI.
02:20:06.000 Making video games, I'll think about how in the background or in side quests, my brain will be like having three or five different thoughts as it's as I'm thinking about it, and it will be like thinking about RNA replicating and how this is the metaphor between what RNA and humans are, where DNA and AI, and how those and so I might bring something up at first where you're like, Where the did that come from?
02:20:24.000 But if you let me finish my thought, I'll explain, I'll do the weave and then show you how it connects.
02:20:30.000 All right, um, so I am a molecular biologist, uh, we were kind of talking there, I was telling you about like the stuff I was doing with CRISPR, and like you were just like, On it, like you were so focused.
02:20:42.000 I've never seen somebody more focused than you, Ian.
02:20:45.000 Um, and like, I don't know, there's so much cool shit when it comes to like science and biology, but like the stuff you're talking about, like, I'm not even like putting you down, um, but the stuff you're you're you were talking about, like, I'm sitting here, I don't even remember what it was, but it just didn't even make sense.
02:21:03.000 I wish you could have, you're talking about like sitting in a bath of DNA polymerase and somehow that was going to do something.
02:21:08.000 Oh, like regrowing a limb, yeah.
02:21:12.000 I don't know what that was you're talking about.
02:21:15.000 What's that?
02:21:16.000 Is that what you were talking about when you talked about?
02:21:18.000 Yeah, yeah.
02:21:19.000 If you were going to hold matter in a DNA polymerase gooey state, that would be to regrow the DNA strands if they've taken massive damage or something.
02:21:29.000 Yeah.
02:21:29.000 But what will happen is I think about really high tech, complicated things, and then I'm like, how can I explain this to normal people?
02:21:36.000 And so I'll take the most outlandish version of whatever that complicated thing is, and I'll try and make it real simple to tell someone this could happen.
02:21:44.000 And so people will be like, hold on, that's a long shot, dude.
02:21:47.000 Do you even have you?
02:21:48.000 And I'm like, I'm pretty sure this could happen.
02:21:51.000 And then I look like, maybe sound like a crazy person because I say it with such confidence.
02:21:54.000 I don't know.
02:21:57.000 I mean, I will say, I will say, like, there's so many cool things.
02:22:02.000 Like, I wish you talked about, like, there's this guy, he won a Nobel Prize.
02:22:08.000 I believe this is him.
02:22:09.000 I could be wrong.
02:22:10.000 His name is Jack Stozak.
02:22:12.000 And he was talking about how RNA would actually, just the RNA molecule itself, could evolve to find different binding receptors.
02:22:23.000 And so then the RNA was acting as like a binding receptor.
02:22:26.000 I was like, ah, Ian loved that.
02:22:27.000 Like, I feel like even like the non coding DNA is interesting.
02:22:34.000 And you'd love talking about that because it's like there's 30,000 genes, but at the same time, you have all of these billions of base pairs that people don't know what they do.
02:22:45.000 And that's all like all this regulation shit.
02:22:47.000 And like, that's the stuff nobody knows about.
02:22:49.000 And like, I feel like that's the kind of shit you need up.
02:22:51.000 But like, literally, DNA replicating and stuff like that and RNA being expressed, like, I don't know what you're talking about.
02:23:00.000 Dude, what happens is my mind right now is all on AI game development.
02:23:04.000 Yesterday I was talking to Mark and Alexis, his wife, was like telling me about vitamins.
02:23:08.000 And I was like, oh, so I started researching that and my brain went in a full vitamin understanding where there's 13 vitamins, 20 amino acids your body needs.
02:23:15.000 And I'm like, holy shit, I can only allocate my brain compute to like one thing at a time right now.
02:23:21.000 It's a big flaw in the human development because I should be able to spin up.
02:23:23.000 Huh?
02:23:24.000 What happened to farming?
02:23:24.000 Yeah, farming's another thing I was into.
02:23:26.000 Like, I need to spin up five brains that I can think about all five of these things at once.
02:23:30.000 Because I know my total capacity can handle the information, but it's just about writing it down so it doesn't conflict with other rights.
02:23:37.000 But I'm like just not into the DNA or anything.
02:23:39.000 I'm obsessed with this game and understanding the AI brain right now.
02:23:43.000 I'm sure it'll come full circle with understanding how RNA replicates.
02:23:49.000 I mean, I'm not sure of it, but I have a feeling that the way the AI is thinking and behaving is similar to how RNA and DNA thinks and behaves, if it thinks at all.
02:23:57.000 You know what?
02:23:59.000 I told you I was going to give you a compliment sandwich, and I actually agree with you on that.
02:24:04.000 And that was kind of why I prefaced the question.
02:24:05.000 Not like I'm not here to shit on you.
02:24:09.000 Like, I was like, oh, what were you getting at?
02:24:09.000 Quite the opposite.
02:24:12.000 And like, what you're getting at is like, I actually agree because the way biology works is it's evolution.
02:24:18.000 It's like, okay, the things that work, you know, those things get rewarded.
02:24:22.000 Like basic biology, adaptation, evolution.
02:24:25.000 And AI does work very similarly.
02:24:28.000 Yeah, that's why I was thinking about police bots because your body has defensive capabilities to protect against viruses that want to rewrite your DNA, retroviruses.
02:24:36.000 And if they're distracted, if your body's defense mechanisms are focusing on digestion, for instance, they can't allocate their compute to watch out for the viruses and stop them from changing you.
02:24:47.000 And it's the same way with these AI swarms coming.
02:24:49.000 They're going to function like viruses.
02:24:50.000 And we need an immune system response ready to go to stop it from trying to rewrite our genetic code specially, like rewrite our internet, basically.
02:25:05.000 Got anything you want to add?
02:25:07.000 I mean, no, no, Ian's my man.
02:25:10.000 All right.
02:25:11.000 Thanks, dude.
02:25:13.000 Yo, can I shout something out there?
02:25:14.000 Absolutely.
02:25:15.000 Sure.
02:25:16.000 All right.
02:25:16.000 So, like I said, I was at the Martinsburg Casper opening.
02:25:21.000 I want to shout out being a member, not only in the Discord for everything else, but like I want to tell you guys how fucking amazing that was.
02:25:30.000 So, like you announced this, we're doing the coffee shop opening.
02:25:34.000 I went in the Discord, I hit up this, like I just jumped in some random chat.
02:25:39.000 There's this guy, Lacey, there.
02:25:41.000 He was going to come down.
02:25:43.000 He came all the way down from like the north, came into DC.
02:25:47.000 I like picked him up, never met this guy before.
02:25:50.000 Right?
02:25:51.000 We go to an Airbnb.
02:25:52.000 We're hanging out with T-Bone.
02:25:53.000 We're hanging out with this dude named Noah, a couple people.
02:25:57.000 The coffee shop opens.
02:25:58.000 We show up, hanging out with fucking Tim.
02:26:01.000 We're fucking playing Magic the Gathering, talking to Ian about random stuff, like the Patriot Tim Brown himself.
02:26:09.000 He's there.
02:26:09.000 Like, it was awesome.
02:26:10.000 I bought a t-shirt of Ian getting shot, and I got everybody to sign it.
02:26:15.000 You guys don't know what you're missing out on.
02:26:18.000 Right?
02:26:19.000 It was so much fun.
02:26:21.000 We're planning the next one.
02:26:23.000 We should have already had it, but we're just so busy, you know?
02:26:27.000 Yeah.
02:26:28.000 I'll be there.
02:26:29.000 Glad you had it.
02:26:29.000 Everybody should be there.
02:26:31.000 If you're a Rumble member, be a Discord member too.
02:26:34.000 You guys don't know.
02:26:37.000 It was popping.
02:26:38.000 There was pizza, tons of pizza wings.
02:26:41.000 It was.
02:26:42.000 Yeah, I was going to say it was really good.
02:26:42.000 It was good pizza, too.
02:26:43.000 Even the gluten free ones.
02:26:45.000 It was hot.
02:26:46.000 They had ice cream.
02:26:47.000 I didn't eat it.
02:26:48.000 Yeah, we had ice cream.
02:26:49.000 I had ice cream.
02:26:50.000 And they let me make whatever ice cream I wanted.
02:26:52.000 Ooh.
02:26:53.000 What'd you make?
02:26:53.000 It's kind of a Casper coffee shop, so I could probably just do that, you know, but I try to be respectful.
02:26:59.000 I did, I think I did like peanut butter.
02:27:01.000 I did like vanilla peanut butter or something.
02:27:03.000 Did the peanut butter get hard?
02:27:05.000 I think it's like peanut butter sauce.
02:27:06.000 So I don't remember actually.
02:27:07.000 It might have been like chocolate.
02:27:09.000 It was vanilla ice cream though.
02:27:11.000 Oh God.
02:27:11.000 No, wait.
02:27:13.000 I don't remember.
02:27:14.000 It's tantalizing me strawberry.
02:27:15.000 Might have been like peanut butter ice cream.
02:27:16.000 I don't know.
02:27:17.000 Well, thanks for calling in, brother.
02:27:18.000 Thanks, man.
02:27:19.000 Anytime.
02:27:19.000 Oh, yeah.
02:27:20.000 Fuck yes.
02:27:22.000 All right.
02:27:22.000 Next up, we've got.
02:27:25.000 Electron.
02:27:26.000 Electron.
02:27:27.000 What's up, man?
02:27:28.000 What up, dude?
02:27:30.000 What's up?
02:27:32.000 First time caller, long time listener.
02:27:34.000 Obviously, you got to say the classic line.
02:27:38.000 My question is for the guest.
02:27:41.000 I myself am a young Canadian, and I would like to ask you what is your view on the political stance of the Canadian youth today?
02:27:52.000 And do you see it leaning more generally left or right?
02:27:56.000 And With in saying that, is Canada barreling towards a communist state, or are we going to see like conservativeslash moderate resurgence, you know, based upon the Canadian youth today?
02:28:11.000 Yeah, I think that's a struggle because I think the Canadian youth aren't, they're largely indifferent because they don't feel like they can actually do anything.
02:28:19.000 A lot of people are just feeling kind of like they're just throwing their hands up in the air saying, well, we just looked at the last election, there was a lot of effort going into the Conservative Party.
02:28:28.000 And then that guy shit the bed, like absolutely shit the bed.
02:28:33.000 And so that's Pierre Polyev, the leader of the Conservative Party.
02:28:39.000 And after that happened, a lot of people are just scattered at this point.
02:28:44.000 So, what does this mean for the youth?
02:28:46.000 I know a lot of the youth are pretty based.
02:28:50.000 And this is around Canada.
02:28:51.000 This is just, I think, in the Western world for the most part.
02:28:54.000 But that doesn't mean that everyone's based, there are tons of lefties.
02:28:59.000 And Canada is a breeding ground for lefties.
02:29:01.000 And you look at academia, you look at education or entertainment or the media, it's very influential.
02:29:11.000 So, to try to say, like, it's not as much as the US right now.
02:29:17.000 I think a lot of young people are turning based.
02:29:20.000 So many people are indifferent, but from the youth that I talk to, a lot of them are looking for a way out.
02:29:26.000 So, whether it's getting on board with movements like the Alberta Prosperity Movement to become an independent state, so a lot of those people are moving towards that, or they're looking to get out entirely.
02:29:41.000 So, I was working with an apprentice.
02:29:44.000 Before I moved.
02:29:45.000 And that guy, super smart young guy, right?
02:29:50.000 His goal is to be a pilot one day.
02:29:52.000 So he wants to be a pilot, but he's in an auto garage in an apprenticeship for an auto, like to be a mechanic.
02:29:59.000 And he's like, Yeah, these are stepping stones in my life.
02:30:03.000 So if I get this trade, it becomes something I can always fall back on.
02:30:06.000 And then I'll chase my dream of being a pilot.
02:30:09.000 And that might be my ticket into the United States.
02:30:12.000 So people are planning ahead and they're going, Yeah, no, this place is crazy.
02:30:16.000 You know, last year, Year in Canada, Stats Can has the data that 120,000 Canadians left, left the country to permanently live somewhere else.
02:30:32.000 Now, at the same time, you have all these fears of the government making threats of taking away people's assets, tax, like an exit tax, these kinds of things.
02:30:45.000 So people are not even announcing to the government they're leaving, they're just quietly going.
02:30:50.000 So, that kind of gives you the idea of that 120,000 number is probably a lot higher.
02:30:57.000 And a lot of these are youth that are just seeing Canada, like they can't afford to get a house, they can't afford food, it's really expensive.
02:31:04.000 And the outlook is just more liberals taking power and causing more havoc in the economy.
02:31:11.000 So, people are throwing their hands up and saying, you know, screw this place.
02:31:14.000 I don't even want to be a part of it.
02:31:15.000 And a lot of people are leaving.
02:31:17.000 And so, I'm out there to say to people, like, it's possible, it's absolutely possible to do better in your life.
02:31:24.000 Don't get tied down by a country that I agree with the premise of the question is going towards more and more socialism because more government control is how they keep that control.
02:31:38.000 And at the end of the day, I think that people like Mark Carney, Justin Trudeau, these kind of characters, they're happy to rule over the ashes of a nation instead of trying to actually build it up.
02:31:48.000 And that's where Canada is.
02:31:50.000 So, yeah, do what you gotta do.
02:31:51.000 They're agents of China and they want to rule over their fiefdom under the Chinese king.
02:31:56.000 Mm hmm.
02:31:57.000 The emperor.
02:31:58.000 Sorry.
02:31:59.000 Emperor.
02:32:00.000 Does that answer your question, though?
02:32:02.000 Honestly, I see these pretty much what you see, even just on the ground level.
02:32:02.000 Yeah.
02:32:07.000 I live in, do you know Oakville, Ontario?
02:32:11.000 Yeah, absolutely.
02:32:11.000 Where that is.
02:32:12.000 Yeah.
02:32:13.000 Perfect.
02:32:13.000 Okay.
02:32:13.000 I grew up in the rich suburb of fucking Toronto.
02:32:19.000 And even here, it's really divided.
02:32:22.000 And again, yeah, people are just apathetic.
02:32:24.000 Just like, well, it's what it is.
02:32:26.000 Well, people who know better are apathetic.
02:32:28.000 They just want to make it by.
02:32:29.000 Yeah.
02:32:29.000 Yeah, people who know better are apathetic, and the people who don't know any better, they're like, rah, rah, elbows up.
02:32:35.000 Let's, yo, yeah, like Mark Carney's great.
02:32:38.000 It's crazy.
02:32:39.000 People actually believe that stuff.
02:32:41.000 Yeah.
02:32:43.000 It's crazy.
02:32:45.000 The main thing that got me to think about this first was like the student vote in Canada that runs parallel during the elections.
02:32:53.000 And it's like the federal election, the conservatives won, but then, you know, the boomers, and then the liberals won in the actual election.
02:33:00.000 That's a lot to do with the boomers.
02:33:02.000 It's like, well, It did have to do a lot with the boomers.
02:33:06.000 That class is like.
02:33:07.000 And this is where I think that Pierre Polyev shit the bed entirely.
02:33:12.000 He, for one, he didn't want to embrace Donald Trump, whatever.
02:33:16.000 That's his thing.
02:33:18.000 And then he actively tried to make it look like I hate Donald Trump.
02:33:22.000 In fact, it was really bad.
02:33:25.000 But when it came to the youth, largely the youth didn't even know who the hell he was.
02:33:30.000 You would go to these rallies, and it was all Gen Xers and boomers that were at these rallies, and they were huge rallies.
02:33:37.000 But.
02:33:38.000 Those were Gen Xers and boomers in conservative areas, like in the outskirts of major cities and stuff like that.
02:33:44.000 If he would have turned the youth around and got them motivated, he could have actually won it, in my estimate.
02:33:51.000 But he purposefully steered clear of the media.
02:33:55.000 He steered clear of podcasts and all these other ways he could have got the vote out or the word out to these young voters because there wasn't much of a turnout for these young people.
02:34:07.000 We tried to have him on the show.
02:34:08.000 I was.
02:34:09.000 Bullish about getting him on as a guest, and it was just like either lack of interest, maybe they didn't put the word out.
02:34:13.000 Well, at the time, now he's really interested, he wants to come out to all these podcasts because it was a fear of being associated with Trump.
02:34:13.000 I don't know.
02:34:22.000 That's exactly it, and a fear of being labeled as American, which is crazy.
02:34:27.000 Because what did Mark Carney do?
02:34:28.000 He went on Jon Stewart's show.
02:34:31.000 It's just that, you know, if what's the old saying, if they didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
02:34:36.000 You know, they throw this on Canadian conservatives, don't you?
02:34:39.000 You're not allowed to be American.
02:34:41.000 I think they should just embrace it.
02:34:43.000 Really, at the end of the day, I think enough young people are looking at it going, Well, I want to move to America anyway.
02:34:49.000 If you're going to make Canada more like America and more in tune with America, I think that would be a positive thing, actually.
02:34:57.000 But the idea is Canada's electoral system is really skewed towards Ontario and Quebec, and they hold all the political power.
02:35:07.000 By the time, you know, on election day, by the time Ontario's voted, the results are in.
02:35:14.000 And all the other provinces are left out of it.
02:35:17.000 It doesn't matter what they say.
02:35:19.000 You could pull up a map of 338.com where it shows the polling, and all of Eastern Canada is red, liberal.
02:35:28.000 British Columbia is red, liberal.
02:35:31.000 And then you have Alberta and Saskatchewan, and they're just blue, blue conservative.
02:35:36.000 So these people feel alienated in their own home.
02:35:40.000 And not to mention, there are these transfer payments, it's a socialist scheme.
02:35:44.000 Between the provinces.
02:35:45.000 So if a province overproduces, then they have to pay these transfer payments to the other provinces to fund their social welfare programs.
02:35:56.000 And it disproportionately comes from Alberta and goes towards Ontario, Quebec, and the maritime provinces that do not utilize the resources they have in the ground because then they would get cut off from these payments from Alberta.
02:36:14.000 And it's crazy.
02:36:15.000 It's crazy how the system works.
02:36:16.000 And people, again, they're saying either I'm out.
02:36:19.000 With my province, or I'm out by myself.
02:36:23.000 And I think that's the future that a lot of Canadians are looking at.
02:36:25.000 It's wild that the conservatives are blue in Canada.
02:36:29.000 Yeah, it's backwards.
02:36:30.000 That's wild.
02:36:30.000 I wonder what's going on with that.
02:36:32.000 Sounds like a psyop that I don't understand yet.
02:36:33.000 Well, I think because red was always associated with the crown and Tories and all of that stuff.
02:36:40.000 But the blue are supposed to be the Tories.
02:36:42.000 I'm not sure exactly what that's about.
02:36:44.000 Red of the communists.
02:36:45.000 Yeah.
02:36:46.000 And, you know, the Canadian flag was developed in like, It's a very recent development.
02:36:51.000 I can't remember the year that it was made, but it was like in our lifetimes.
02:36:54.000 The Maple Leaf flag?
02:36:55.000 The Maple Leaf flag.
02:36:57.000 And it was the liberal government that was in place at the time.
02:37:01.000 So they were the ones that were like, yeah, let's make it red because it's the red liberal thing.
02:37:06.000 The previous flag was the red ensign and it had like a British monarchy and basically a shield of the roots of where a lot of the Canadians that lived there at the time were from.
02:37:19.000 So, like the Flair de Lis and those symbols.
02:37:24.000 So, like a, what are they called?
02:37:26.000 Like a coat of arms, sort of?
02:37:28.000 Yeah.
02:37:28.000 Yeah.
02:37:29.000 So, the flag that everybody fought under all the way up, like, you know, First World War, Second World War, the Korean War, was all under the red ensign.
02:37:37.000 Not the Maple Leaf.
02:37:39.000 If Britain's really fracturing, I mean, it might be not good for the liberal economic order, but it could be good for Canada.
02:37:46.000 I don't know.
02:37:47.000 If where's the fracture?
02:37:48.000 If the British Empire is fracturing.
02:37:49.000 The UK.
02:37:50.000 Oh, it's already fracturing.
02:37:52.000 Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have.
02:37:54.000 Yeah, as we're talking about.
02:37:54.000 Yeah, that's right.
02:37:56.000 Did you want to get anything else in there, brother?
02:37:58.000 You want to add anything?
02:38:00.000 No, I pretty much answered my question.
02:38:02.000 And yeah, basically on the same page.
02:38:05.000 Yeah, well, I'm glad I was able to answer your question.
02:38:07.000 Thank you.
02:38:08.000 No problem.
02:38:08.000 Right on.
02:38:09.000 I'm not shouting anything out.
02:38:13.000 No, not really.
02:38:14.000 Nothing.
02:38:15.000 Well, right on, brother.
02:38:16.000 I'm happy to be on the show, though.
02:38:16.000 Thanks for calling in.
02:38:18.000 Thanks for calling in, bud.
02:38:18.000 Yeah, dude.
02:38:19.000 Anytime.
02:38:20.000 See you, man.
02:38:20.000 Thanks.
02:38:22.000 Last but not least, we have Dr. Harrison Tasuda Schultz, PhD.
02:38:27.000 What up?
02:38:28.000 Dr. Schultz.
02:38:29.000 Dr. Schultz, give us your sage wisdom.
02:38:32.000 What's up, doctor?
02:38:33.000 Tim.
02:38:33.000 Oh, man.
02:38:34.000 Thanks as always, Tim.
02:38:36.000 Gentlemen, thank you as always for having me.
02:38:38.000 So today was obviously a very bad day for Donald Trump because the Fed raised interest rates, even though.
02:38:46.000 Trump had Kevin Warsh, who was Trump's appointee to the Fed board.
02:38:53.000 Trump expected Warsh to lower interest rates, but Warsh defied Trump and raised them because that's what the market wanted him to do.
02:39:01.000 And so Trump got really mad and he accused the Fed of being political.
02:39:06.000 So I think the big question of the day is is the Fed basically backing the Democrats in the November election right now?
02:39:14.000 Yes.
02:39:17.000 Because that's the play, of course.
02:39:20.000 If they heat up the market, people start feeling like things are cooking, like they're doing well, they stay the same.
02:39:27.000 If they're feeling things are getting bad, then they're going to back the rival party.
02:39:31.000 Who gives the Fed the instruction?
02:39:35.000 The Fed's supposed to be independent.
02:39:37.000 Now, I'm not saying that it is, but I'm saying that ostensibly it's supposed to be.
02:39:40.000 I think they should go negative interest rates.
02:39:42.000 Just light the fucking market on fire.
02:39:44.000 Beg them to loan money.
02:39:46.000 That leads to a lot of malinvestment, though.
02:39:48.000 You'd see ripples and people going broke.
02:39:52.000 Years later, because of it.
02:39:54.000 Negative interest rates.
02:39:55.000 Basically, everybody pulls their money out, spends it, puts it places where it's not in banks and stuff.
02:40:00.000 I mean, that's what Japan's done for a number of years, right?
02:40:02.000 Yeah.
02:40:02.000 Because they have deflation problems, don't they?
02:40:05.000 So they're trying to.
02:40:06.000 They have this issue where basically, after the boom of the 1990s, they don't want the main players in the industries to lose these big empires that they've built.
02:40:20.000 So they're protecting the.
02:40:22.000 It's a protectionism sort of measure.
02:40:24.000 But with population decline too, they're like, deflation is going to kill us.
02:40:27.000 We need to heat the market up.
02:40:30.000 Yeah.
02:40:30.000 And for 30 years, it hasn't really worked.
02:40:32.000 Yeah, I know.
02:40:33.000 So, I mean, do you just do that forever?
02:40:37.000 And everybody just has, like, you know, Japan has been able to be still a viable, you know, power in the world in spite of the economic policies of Japan, right?
02:40:51.000 So they have, like, great ingenuity, excellent.
02:40:57.000 You know, know how.
02:40:58.000 Well, I mean, anyone can have know how, but they have really good ethic for work.
02:41:01.000 Yeah, they do.
02:41:02.000 And so, because of that, in spite of what they've been doing with these negative interest rates or super low, ridiculously low interest rates, they've still been able to build amazing things.
02:41:13.000 I think if they let the interest rates rise, there'd be a lot of really, really negative effects right away.
02:41:20.000 And then you'd see from the ashes of that, like amazing economies.
02:41:25.000 I think so too.
02:41:25.000 So, it might be a good idea to raise interest rates because it doesn't cost a lot of money to start a company right now, it costs magnitudes less with AI than it used to.
02:41:34.000 You can cut out workforce.
02:41:35.000 You don't need work.
02:41:36.000 So, like, fine, take a high interest loan.
02:41:38.000 Like, now's the time to take a high interest loan if you're going to start a company because it's going to cost you a tenth to run the thing.
02:41:44.000 I mean, it depends on what company or industry.
02:41:46.000 True.
02:41:47.000 But it's worth noting in 2024, Powell cut interest rates 50 BPS two months before the presidential election, and core CPI was at 3.3%.
02:41:58.000 Now, the Warsh Fed hiked 25 BPS two months before the midterms, with core CPI at 2.4%.
02:42:07.000 What does that mean?
02:42:09.000 It means that the, what is, I forget what CPI stands for.
02:42:13.000 Index.
02:42:14.000 CPI, the Consumer Price Index?
02:42:15.000 Yeah, that's it.
02:42:16.000 So it's a basket of goods that basically they measure.
02:42:20.000 So inflation, real inflation is the monetary supply.
02:42:25.000 But the effects of inflation are rising prices.
02:42:28.000 So rather than talking about actually inflating the currency, they talk about how it affects you.
02:42:34.000 So that'll be like what the inflation rate is based on a basket of goods that they've decided.
02:42:41.000 Now, the problem with the basket of goods is they keep changing what's in the basket, right?
02:42:45.000 So we don't, we can't really have them.
02:42:47.000 It's like having a measuring stick that keeps changing size as you're using it.
02:42:52.000 You're not going to be able to build anything with that.
02:42:54.000 You're not going to get a good judgment of what's going on in the market.
02:42:57.000 And then on top of that, no country has one, like countries of the world don't have the same basket of goods.
02:43:06.000 Every country is different.
02:43:08.000 So, like, coming from Canada, they would often say, well, The consumer price index of America is this, and ours is this.
02:43:15.000 And you're like, yeah, but they're not the same thing.
02:43:18.000 You're not measuring the same thing.
02:43:20.000 And the basket of goods is different.
02:43:22.000 Who changes what's in the basket of goods?
02:43:25.000 In Canada, it's the government.
02:43:27.000 So it's not the Federal Reserve, it's the American government that would do it in our system.
02:43:30.000 Yeah.
02:43:31.000 And then the other question you said two facts about inflation the CPI, and what was the other?
02:43:36.000 In 2024, Powell cut 50 BPS, so half a percent.
02:43:42.000 With core CPI at 3.3 basis points, is yeah, yeah.
02:43:46.000 So it's the which is basically it's half of a percent.
02:43:49.000 Um, and the Warsh Fed hiked by a quarter of a percent, where CPI is at 2.4 percent.
02:43:58.000 Warsh, oh, he hiked Warsh is the current uh head of the Fed, so went down half a percent, went back up 0.25 percent.
02:44:06.000 Is that what the numbers?
02:44:07.000 Well, we're talking about the cuts before the election, right?
02:44:10.000 The lowering interest rates makes money cheaper.
02:44:14.000 And doing that before the election made people feel like they had more money or money was easier to get.
02:44:22.000 Their credit cards, the credit card payments would go down if you have adjustable rates and stuff.
02:44:29.000 And in this context, they raised it by a quarter of a percent, and the CPI is almost a full 1% and lower.
02:44:38.000 Does this relationship with the interest rates and how much inflation there is?
02:44:44.000 So they lower the interest rates, they have to issue new.
02:44:48.000 Credit, new money into the marketplace.
02:44:51.000 And so there's more dollars chasing fewer goods.
02:44:55.000 And then you get a slow reaction afterwards of prices going up.
02:45:02.000 Because inflation takes time to work through the economy.
02:45:06.000 People are feeling the difference now because of what happened right after COVID, right?
02:45:12.000 In 2022, 23 is when the inflation really started kicking because they pumped all this money into the economy.
02:45:19.000 But there was nothing for people to buy because so many people, like, they shut the whole world down.
02:45:24.000 So there was more money chasing fewer goods that were available.
02:45:28.000 Things weren't being imported.
02:45:29.000 You had weights.
02:45:30.000 People were like, well, I'll pay more for it now, which is driving prices up.
02:45:34.000 It takes a long time for wages to rise to meet a bout of inflation.
02:45:40.000 You see, when they lower the interest rates, does the stock market go up?
02:45:45.000 Sometimes, yeah.
02:45:46.000 Because what happens?
02:45:47.000 You'll have an initial, like, oh, wow, there's a lot of money around.
02:45:50.000 So.
02:45:50.000 Things will go up because people will, you know, take out loans to buy certain things and that'll bid prices or that'll bid companies up because people are out there spending money.
02:46:02.000 That was what was going on.
02:46:03.000 It's a stimulus that they talk about, right?
02:46:04.000 That's what was going on throughout all of the teens.
02:46:07.000 Like interest rates were at like zero.
02:46:08.000 Quantitative easing was going on.
02:46:10.000 They were just dumping money into the system.
02:46:12.000 And every time they talked about raising interest rates, the stock market went down.
02:46:17.000 So all the presidents that, you know, whether it be Obama or Trump or Biden, they were all like, oh, we can't, you know, We can't raise interest rates because the stock market will tank, which they should have raised interest rates a little bit at a time.
02:46:31.000 But people were taking out loans against their house or against whatever assets they had and buying stock with that.
02:46:37.000 So that's raising the price of stocks.
02:46:39.000 That's why there's so many people that are, that's part of the reason why you have the income inequality that's going on now.
02:46:45.000 Millionaires and billionaires have disposable income, they have assets they can take loans out against.
02:46:50.000 So they take these loans out and they buy stock.
02:46:53.000 So that becomes another asset.
02:46:56.000 And they have so that raises their net worth.
02:46:59.000 But the average Joe is buying things, and who are they buying it from?
02:47:04.000 Millionaires and billionaires because they have assets, so that widens the wealth gap.
02:47:08.000 Because yeah, the average Joe doesn't have the capital or the assets to take out a loan against to buy stock.
02:47:14.000 And isn't it they take out a big loan, they buy a bunch of stock, and then they take out another loan on the stock that they just bought with their own with that old loan?
02:47:21.000 You can do that stuff, yeah, bro.
02:47:24.000 Yeah, get richer.
02:47:25.000 It's a Ponzi, though, so they're desperate.
02:47:27.000 Not the system, it's not a physical aspect of it.
02:47:30.000 Let's let's uh let's pull in uh Harrison, yeah.
02:47:33.000 What you got, brother?
02:47:33.000 Yeah, what do you think?
02:47:36.000 Oh, uh, I Trump is doomed, the dollar is doomed, the bond market is going to blow up, and uh, the Republicans are going to lose the midterms, Democrats are going to take over, they're going to impeach Trump, and then they're going to the Fed is going to tap AOC to replace the dollar with central bank digital currency.
02:47:53.000 You're all going to get your accounts frozen, say goodbye to your Tim Castle.
02:47:57.000 And we can't have that.
02:47:58.000 So that's why I'm formally requesting permission to start Fedcast for Timcast.
02:48:03.000 What, wait, wait, what should I short right now?
02:48:06.000 Well, in the meantime, dude, who should you short?
02:48:11.000 I mean, Canada.
02:48:14.000 You should short the Treasury, short the United States dollar, short Wall Street.
02:48:17.000 Oh, God.
02:48:18.000 But Harrison, what if we reduce the cost of input across the board?
02:48:22.000 So instead of driving an hour costing you $3 of gas, it costs you 10 cents in fuel.
02:48:29.000 We've got a $40 trillion debt.
02:48:31.000 And the crazy thing that no one wants us to pay attention to is that we've only got 23, the Fed has only given us 23 trillion to somehow pay that debt off.
02:48:40.000 Okay.
02:48:41.000 So, like, we're damned if we do, we're damned if we don't.
02:48:44.000 Like, if we don't have constant inflation, the system collapses.
02:48:48.000 If we don't, if we deflate, we collapse as well.
02:48:52.000 I mean, the dollar is doomed no matter what.
02:48:54.000 Like, any little trade input, like, that's just.
02:48:58.000 Yeah, but what if Trump blows the fuck up out of the breaks nations?
02:49:03.000 The best thing we could do at this point is to convince Tim to release Game of Money on YouTube.
02:49:09.000 I'm serious.
02:49:09.000 That's the best way to do it.
02:49:10.000 I thought we were smarts who have done that already.
02:49:13.000 I would love for that to happen.
02:49:14.000 But, dude, I'm thinking about if you need to deflate a balloon or inflate a balloon, if Change the medium of gas within the balloon, you're going to get heavier or lighter densities.
02:49:21.000 So, if you can reduce the cost of input, if you can make the economy look like $40 trillion on paper, but its actual debt is $4 trillion in value because you've made things so cheap because you created a new fuel supply, for instance, hydrogen or something.
02:49:34.000 New hydrogen was coming.
02:49:35.000 Yeah.
02:49:35.000 Some really lightweight, cheap, anyway, some super cheap cost a hundredth to produce fuel.
02:49:41.000 Could you see a soft landing in that instance?
02:49:43.000 You're describing the soft default of just printing more money.
02:49:49.000 That's what they've got.
02:49:51.000 The cheap, easy thing to do is print more money and pay the debt off.
02:49:54.000 Say your gas costs $4 a gallon, rather than give you the $4 and print it, what if I can make your gas cost 10 cents a gallon and then I don't have to give you anything?
02:50:04.000 You've still got the infrastructure that has to be built around that, and everybody has regular cars.
02:50:09.000 But it's not just that.
02:50:10.000 Maybe Harrison knows this.
02:50:11.000 There's that economist who said that when gas prices go down, gas consumption skyrockets.
02:50:17.000 So lower prices actually don't improve the economy.
02:50:21.000 It would have to be a legitimately cheap fuel.
02:50:23.000 It wouldn't be like you're intentionally lowering the cost of something valuable.
02:50:27.000 So, what happens is when gas got cheap.
02:50:28.000 That guy's right, though.
02:50:29.000 We're looking at a debt spiral right now.
02:50:31.000 The only way to pay off this $40 trillion debt with our monetary system as it currently exists is to take out more debt.
02:50:37.000 And this is exactly why everyone across the world.
02:50:41.000 Your audio cut out there.
02:50:43.000 Everyone across the world, what?
02:50:45.000 Dumping the treasuries, selling off treasuries.
02:50:47.000 Yeah, but not if we blow up BRICS.
02:50:51.000 Well, BRICS is going to blow up because the dollar is.
02:50:54.000 Going down, and this is going to create a great opportunity for BRICS to, you know, create the world war, the one world currency to become the new reserve currency of the world.
02:51:04.000 And obviously, we know that's not going to be a blanket currency.
02:51:07.000 Like everyone knows, China wants to have the name of the game is to have the world's reserve currency.
02:51:13.000 And right now, the US is clearly losing that game right now.
02:51:16.000 That's why we're at war with Iran.
02:51:18.000 Exactly.
02:51:20.000 And that's why Russia seems to have declared war on Ukraine, it seems to be a war on the dollar.
02:51:26.000 I mean, they want us to go to war in order to inflate the dollar.
02:51:31.000 And it's working.
02:51:31.000 We're playing into their hands.
02:51:32.000 This has been predictable to anybody who's been watching the news, watching foreign policy for 20 years.
02:51:37.000 In the early 2010s, Russia and China were dumping bonds and dumping dollars.
02:51:43.000 And the U.S. reacted like they're clearly trying to get up the petrodollar.
02:51:47.000 Then in the mid 2010s, we saw China started to buy oil and won.
02:51:53.000 And then finally, we had the petrodollar contract with the Saudis expire.
02:51:57.000 And then Trump, I think, re upped it.
02:51:58.000 Did he rep it?
02:51:59.000 I don't know.
02:52:00.000 Yeah, I don't know.
02:52:01.000 What happened with Gaddafi?
02:52:02.000 He was like trying to mess Saddam and Gaddafi.
02:52:04.000 He was going to be buying it in gold.
02:52:07.000 Yeah, he wanted to buy in gold.
02:52:08.000 Saddam wanted to use Euro.
02:52:10.000 They're dead.
02:52:11.000 So do you want to.
02:52:12.000 Yeah, we could.
02:52:13.000 Yeah, do you want to add anything or shout anything out before we split, brother?
02:52:17.000 Game of Money, bro.
02:52:18.000 Please watch Game of Money on YouTube.
02:52:20.000 Ben Joseph Stewart intended this to be a frame of reference.
02:52:23.000 So that's the starting point.
02:52:26.000 It was supposed to have been published the last time you called.
02:52:28.000 This is what happens when I say, okay, hey guys, can you get it published?
02:52:31.000 And then I don't know what happens.
02:52:32.000 I think it was published on the old website.
02:52:34.000 It'd be great if we had it.
02:52:35.000 Yeah, no, no, but it was a members only thing on the website.
02:52:37.000 It might still, I'm pretty sure it still is.
02:52:38.000 Yeah.
02:52:39.000 It's on Rumble for Rumble members to watch Game of Money.
02:52:42.000 Yeah.
02:52:42.000 If there's an AI.
02:52:43.000 We need to release it on all platforms.
02:52:44.000 Where you could be, or any of the command team guys, could be like, type it into your design thing, be like, we want to release Game of Money on YouTube.
02:52:51.000 And the AI puts it into an organization system.
02:52:53.000 So when Mark sits down tomorrow, he has a list of everything that we need to do today.
02:52:56.000 We're working on it.
02:52:57.000 That'd be cool as fuck.
02:52:58.000 Yeah.
02:52:58.000 The best part was that we figured out that you can, using C Dance, we can take all 1600 episodes of IRL loaded in, and it will make a composite of Ian.
02:53:10.000 So we don't need Ian anymore.
02:53:12.000 We have composite Ian.
02:53:13.000 You never needed me at all.
