So, John Fetterman, the Democrat Senator from Pennsylvania, apparently signed on to some
legislation and drafted a letter, despite the fact he's been hospitalized for two weeks
and no one has seen him since and his wife and children have fled the country.
Okay, fled.
They went on vacation.
And Fetterman's in the hospital for depression.
The rumor that's going around is that he's brain dead, or close to it.
I don't know if that's true, but the dude was already suffering from some severe debilitating effects of a stroke.
So if the guy disappears for two weeks, no one's heard from him, I'm not so sure depression is the simple solution that makes the least amount of assumptions, especially when his family dips out of the country for vacation. But, you know, who
knows? Maybe the guy's just chilling and he's depressed or whatever right after winning the
biggest race of his life and accomplishing his dreams. He's sad now. I don't know. For
all we know, like, he got his dreams, and then he's like, I can't function. And he really is
depressed. But the rumor going around is that he's just no longer functioning, near brain dead.
And there are even some Republicans demanding proof of life.
Maybe a bit, uh, exaggerated, but a lot of people are wondering, how did he sign onto this legislation if he's currently admitted to a hospital and not working?
Alright.
Let's talk about it.
Then we got Joe Biden, who laughed when discussing a story about a mother whose two children died when they accidentally ingested fentanyl, and Corinne Jean-Pierre says, no, no, no, he's being sympathetic to the family, of course, of course.
Biden blames Trump.
Here's what I love about the story.
Donald Trump inherits a busted border from Obama and Biden, and immediately, his whole campaign was building a wall to stop these problems, immediately starts deporting people and trying to build a wall, which is blocked by Democrats, and now, You have Joe Biden saying, oh no, that was Trump's fault.
That was during the Trump administration.
All right, let's talk about the border crisis.
There's a bunch of other stories, of course, we can get to.
There's a Tennessee lawmaker who wants to bring back hanging people by a tree as a method of execution.
Well, all right, I guess that seems to be where we're going.

We got this from the post-millennial John Fetterman co-sponsor Senate bill despite being institutionalized since February 15th.
Fetterman's office has not said who is co-sponsoring legislation with his name on it while he remains institutionalized.
A senior aide revealed that Fetterman would be hospitalized for up to two months.
So it's clearly not him.
I guess that's the important point, is they're saying he's co-sponsoring this bill, but it's probably just a member of his staff.
And I gotta show you this right here from Twitter.
Or from John Cardillo on Twitter.
He says, this is from February 25th, so it was a while ago.
Being told that Fetterman is essentially brain dead and it's being hidden because keeping him in office until August 18th avoids a special election which Republicans would most certainly win.
This must be investigated.
So here's the best part about this tweet.
There's the- the context gets added to it.
And it says, readers added context they thought people might want to know.
The August 18th date has no significance.
If a senator from Pennsylvania passes away, a replacement appointed by the governor will serve until the next special election.
Well, I always roll my eyes a little bit at stuff like this.
It is convenient for conservatives on the right to be able to say he's brain dead because the dude's basically not around.
So, in the world of politics, this is...
I don't know, par for the course.
Guy goes to the hospital, immediately come out with some salacious rumor that's gonna shock and damage the perception of this party.
But I'm kinda like, of all the rumors they could have, the dude who had a stroke not that long ago, who can't understand words, suffering another stroke, is completely plausible.
Because we talked about this before, people who suffer strokes are at risk for suffering them again.
And then all of a sudden, dude's in the hospital for several weeks, and get this, his wife is gone.
I think people were ragging on her, and a lot of, like on Twitter, they were like, stop making fun of Fetterman's wife, you're bad people, and it's like, dude, her husband's depressed and in the hospital for weeks, and she just went on vacation with her kids.
That is like, that's worse than what Ted Cruz did.
Like, with Ted Cruz, he went on vacation during that ice storm, and it's like, well, he was with his family, though.
You know, so at the very least, he cares about his family.
This is like, the Senator's wife whose husband is a senator, not only fleeing the state, but
also fleeing her husband who is, you know, convalesced.
What's that thing he's got where he can't understand words anymore?
That was the big thing, like, he can hear when you talk, but all he hears is like... That's problematic.
Yeah, so during the debates, there was a monitor, and when they would talk, it would translate the text to speech so that he could look at it and then read it and it was causing him problems.
What happens when your husband or father, a senator to boot, checks into the hospital and media trucks circle your home?
Pack the kids up and head to Canada, Giselle Fetterman says.
Fetterman recently explained on Twitter that she and her kids left Pennsylvania for a family trip to Niagara Falls to get away from the media coverage surrounding her husband's recovery at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
Fetterman checked himself in to receive treatment for clinical depression on February 16th, according to his chief of staff, Adam Jentleson.
He is there on a voluntary basis, while his family navigates how to deal with the grief that comes with such a hospitalization.
Giselle Fetterman said she and her son ziplined across Niagara Falls, and the family did other scary things together.
This is just a really, really weird story, isn't it?
No, I could see they go into the hospital room and he's, like, incapacitated almost, like, uh... But he's like, I want you to be happy, kind of thing, like, do it.
They'll be like, if you can't, you know, if you've got to represent yourself just by a piece of text on a paper when the vote comes to stupid voters or people that ignore you.
I think the party term limit thing is, we could even one-up it and say, a Democrat, a member of a party, or I should say a political party cannot have a member serve within, like we do a gap term.
So if a Democrat is in office for eight terms, then it can't be a Democrat for the next eight terms.
And it could only be... So basically, yeah, that is... After that, it can be the Democrats again.
So there's eight years where it's not the Democratic Party.
That means they'll have to be a third party, because if a Democrat district has their person term out, they're not going to vote Republican.
So it's got to be a different political party.
And that could mean there ends up with... We end up with like four or five different political parties that are very similar, but whatever, I'll take it.
Break up the duopoly of the private political organizations that control everything.
Let's, uh, let's rag on Joe Biden, how about that?
We got this story from Fox News.
How dare you!
Mother of two sons who died from fentanyl demands Biden apologize for laughing about her story.
Don't be a coward, do something, Kiesling said in response to President Biden.
So here's the story.
This woman had two of her sons die in summer of 2020.
They took some pills they thought were Percocet, they were laced with fentanyl, they died.
She's very upset about it.
And the drugs apparently came over the southern border, a problem for which Donald Trump was trying to solve, and actually campaigned on solving in 2015, a problem that existed under the Obama-Biden administration.
So, Marjorie Taylor Greene interviews this woman.
Marjorie Taylor Greene then tweets out, basically, Biden's policies resulted in this, and then, like, these people died.
And then Biden, when asked about it, starts laughing, saying, that was under the other guy.
That was under the Trump administration.
So, she's pissed.
Obviously, her kids are dead.
And the important point in this whole story is that Donald Trump inherits Joe Biden's administration.
It's Obama's administration, but Biden's the VP.
Trump, he's campaigning in 2015 like we gotta secure the border.
We gotta stop the drug cartels.
What happens?
The media calls him racist.
Okay, the Biden administration comes back in after the fact.
The border collapses.
They claimed when Donald Trump was desperately trying to get funding to build the wall that he was racist and they shouldn't do it and it wouldn't work anyway.
So here you have Joe Biden laughing that these two kids who died, died while Trump was president despite the fact that Trump was trying to fix the problem.
So I imagine it like this.
Joe Biden and Barack Obama are in charge of the fire department when a bunch of fires erupt, and they don't do anything about it.
And then Donald Trump says, give me the fire hose and I'll put the fire out.
Trump then starts desperately spraying these buildings trying to stop the fire, and then after a few years, Biden comes back, takes it from them, and then laughs at all the people who died in that fire.
He was laughing and mocking Marjorie Taylor Greene.
But it's like the context of it is Marjorie Taylor Greene says these two young men died because of these border policies.
And it's Biden's fault.
And Biden's like, no, it wasn't Trump was president.
It's like, dude, you were the vice president before Trump got in, and Trump literally campaigned on stopping a problem that was happening under your administration.
I think the Democrats are the party of short-term gains, so they will let the border crisis keep going if it gives them a short-term benefit in terms of economic, you know, puffing back economic numbers.
But look, look, here's a guy who took a secret trip to Ukraine with half a billion dollars while the East Palestine crisis was happening, and there's toxic chemicals spilling, and he's just like, well, better go to Ukraine.
And like, he just laughed and did the whole dismissive thing on Marjorie, which is what this sounds like, is like, that's the laughing and dismissal kind of thing.
I've seen him do it to people that are like, hey, like people, his constituents yelling at him when he was on the campaign trail.
They're choosing to laugh in the face of— They know all these things, but they're not personally connected to it.
I remember there was this professor from Columbia or something who years ago published a book about how he's a functional heroin user.
Mike is popping. He's like a functional heroin user and he's he's not an addict. He's just a user but
he's obviously like you know not connected to the experience of people who in
the opioid crisis are on these drugs because you know, they're on the track to a death of despair and
And he's also sourcing his heroin, like, in a way that's safe because of his socioeconomic status.
And then he publishes a book that completely downplays the gravity of this crisis because he's not really a part of it, you know?
And he's also a libertine, like, amoral academic, so he doesn't have any morals.
Who's this guy?
I don't remember what his name was.
He was just some, like, professor, wrote a book that was basically about, like, how he thinks that harm reduction is the best solution to the opioid crisis, but also, like, you can use drugs, like, you can use narcotics safely If you don't have like pre existing mental conditions, which is he basically denied that.
That opiates have a pharmacological element of, like, addictiveness, which is obviously untrue.
There's gotta be some plan for, like, national defense.
Like, the original idea of federalism, you know?
There's a federal government, but it's fairly weak, and the states mostly take care of their own business.
The problem is, as a culture, we're just too different.
I suppose if you go back to the foundings of this country, most people just wanted to be left alone, and that worked really well.
Like, if you're in, you know, a new state or whatever, you're like, look, I'm here, I'm doing my thing, leave me alone.
The problem now is you have authoritarian ideologues in places like California that want authority over Texas and New York.
Or, you know, New York and California basically agree on the same things.
So they want authority over Texas and Florida.
So Texas and Florida can sit there all day and night and be like, we hereby agree to be left alone and we'll leave you alone.
And California goes, you got it, buddy.
And then as soon as they turn around, they go, start screwing with them.
So I don't know if there's a classical liberal solution to the problem we're facing, right?
In times of war, Like, I'll put it this way.
Anarchist societies don't work, right?
We can talk about, I think, Catalonia, the famous anarchist attempt at a country.
I forgot what the story was.
But they try to create this anarchist enclave and it gets crushed instantly by barbaric outside forces.
If you've got a hundred, you know, guild members who vote on policy because that's an anarchist system, everybody comes together and they wiggle their fingers, and then next door you've got an authoritarian regime where one guy dictates everything, what do you think's gonna happen?
The one guy dictating everything is gonna say to his military, crush them.
And then, when the anarchist people see the barbarians heading towards the city, they go, we're under attack, quick, what do we do?
And they're like, well, we're anarchists, we don't believe in centralized planning, so let's hold a meeting and have a discussion on how we approach this attack.
And then, a day later, they're overrun and they're all dead.
You know, you could have some kind of mixed system where in times of emergency they elect an executor who can then take over and become a temporary emperor like we saw with, I think it was, Cincinnatus.
He was like, right, he's like, I don't want to be an emperor.
And they're like, well, we're in an emergency and we need one now to act with executive, you know, emergency powers.
And then after like, what, like two weeks, he was like, I'm a farmer again.
I don't want to do this.
And it's like a, it's like an epic story.
But the issue is, In times of crisis and emergency, we fall into executive decision-making.
We don't just sit back and say, let's vote on it!
So, right now as we're dealing with a cult, ideological, authoritarian, and terroristic regime, there is no passive voting your way out of a conflict with these people.
Vote, like, there's no peaceful, let's all come together and have a decision.
No, it's gonna be, for now, I think the solution is probably hard legislation and law enforcement.
No more, you know, we gotta be tolerant of the adult man thrusting his hips in front of that baby.
No, that's a crime, and that person should probably be arrested and charged, and it's about time we stop passively saying, we'll just let them do their thing, because it doesn't bother us.
Hey, look, we're here in Texas, and in Texas we have laws, but if California wants to do it, that's California's business.
That's federalism.
And that's what people are arguing for, and I'm kind of like, nah, maybe the federal government should be like, there's a standard, and you can't have adult sex shows for children, so we're gonna stop that.
But too many conservatives are telling me that civil war can't happen, the country would be crushed, China would take over, fair point, I agree.
And then they say federalism is the answer.
Let the states do what they want.
And I'm like, why?
So California can start having sex shows for kids?
Like, they've been doing that.
They're doing it in Texas.
I don't see a classical liberal solution to this.
There's going to have to be a centralized baseline morality that we all agree on.
Like, don't OD on it, but they're obviously—William Randolph Hearst wanted to get that stuff made illegal in the late 20s, early 30s, to get his paper empires.
He owned all the trees.
He was tired of printing on hemp.
He wanted to print on his trees.
So he manipulated Harry Anslinger and Congress to make it a narcotic.
Federal 1 scheduled narcotic.
That's insane, and if the federal government goes into California to bust them up for selling weed, I do not agree with that overreach of federal law.
I'm not willing to have a conversation or hear anyone side on why you think a man dressed as a woman who's wearing a thong and leather get-ups should be reading to our children.
He's got that clip on CNN where he said the transgender activists have gone too far.
And there was a bit of context that I think we missed.
Because Jake Tapper says, yes, but what the trans activists would say is that now they're trying to ban all of this stuff regardless of what the kid or the doctor says.
And Bill Maher says, well, perhaps that backlash went too far.
Well, hold on there a minute, Bill.
Bill Maher actually said, the banning of child sex change surgery went too far.
When did Bill Maher start being in favor of children getting sex change operations?
He's, because he's defending it now, saying, no, no, no, that's too much, that's too much, we should allow that.
And I'm just like, within the span of a couple years, like literally two years, we went from, there are no child sex change surgeries, to, they are but they're rare, to, the backlash against it is going too far and it should be completely legal for all children.
And it's because, I blame cops, but this is probably part of the weakening of institutions, defund the police.
Now you have in Texas, the famous story was they were doing the adult sex show for children, where it said like it's not going to lick itself and all that.
And then the cops were like, well, you know, I can't get involved in this kind of stuff.
And it's just like, are you kidding me?
There are adult men with fake sex organs dancing for children with a big sign that says it's not going to lick itself.
Well, the interesting thing about that that I've been talking about is,
It's the one DSM-5 disorder where we decide to affirm, right?
If you're body dysmorphic and you want to remove a hand, we say no.
If you're anorexic, we say no.
If you're morbidly obese, well, we're starting to say yes to that.
I don't say we, but body positivity.
If you are cutting, we say no.
If you have pica, where you're like eating pennies, we say no.
But...
If you want to remove your junk, we say okay.
And I have to wonder if it's because there are people who are thinking about, like, well, you know, they want to have kids, so that works out.
Like, that's their mentality.
But I just don't... I'm genuinely asking why it is that for all of the dysmorphic disorders and all of the general DSM-5 disorders, the one we affirm is the one that sterilizes people.
You know, like, when someone's anorexic, we don't say, go to the doctor and get your Ozempic and your pills.
You know, like, I was talking about this the other day.
I tweeted it.
When someone, they say like, oh, but if we don't give them the care, they're at high risk for suicide.
And I was like, oh yeah, that's called a 5150.
If someone is presenting signs of self-harm, they get involuntarily committed so they can receive treatment to stop them from wanting to harm themselves.
We try to save them from this.
If somebody is standing on a bridge About to climb over the railing, people run up and grab them and pull them up.
They don't say, well, I better affirm their decision, why don't you?
But they're starting to with medical assistance and dying.
Well, there's an increasing push to, yeah, to accept assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Suicide blues were a joke then.
And also, like, I see people talking about accepting mental illnesses as well, like, as just a fact of your life that is not circumstantial.
You know, if you're depressed and you, you know, don't want to get out of bed or brush your teeth, then, you know, that's a disability and you should get government money for it, basically.
I gotta be honest, if, you know, I was about to enter the gates of eternity, and they said there's one where you're sitting in an office all day and one where you have to hunt and forage for survival, I'd go with the hunting and foraging.
They're also overqualified, and like, knowing too much is torturous.
When, like, you're not really put to use in society, you're given this, like, meaningless email job that you know is useless and isn't a building block to anything important.
Of course people are going to end up depressed and they're going to wonder, like, why am I even working anymore?
So with Occupy Wall Street, they tried doing the Anarchist General Council or whatever, but when it didn't work, they were like, okay, we can't figure out how to find unanimity.
And when one bad idea got into that group, it spread like fire, or had the potential to, and then all of a sudden you get 98% of the people are like, bad idea now. And but what ended up happening was, you had
The last night I was at Occupy at that, with the council, we were working on, they wanted to build a decentralized Craigslist kind of thing, where you could send items to people that need it, like protesters, and that was the idea.
Maybe a technological solution is the way to develop anarchy.
I guess Craigslist itself is not technically decentralized on a bunch of servers, but the idea is you work with the seller, you don't have to go through a central portal, so it's a bit redundant.
Viral video of Biden saying he's reinstating the draft is a deepfake.
In the video, President Joe Biden appears to say he's reinstating the draft so the U.S.
can help defend Ukraine against Russian forces.
The video is a deepfake.
I love that this was fact-checked because it was made by Turning Point.
It was on Jack Posobiec's show.
And he outright says that it's not a real, he explains, we're showing you of what is to come, and it's meant to be provocative, and then the media's like, uh-oh, people might think this is real.
All right, well, here's why I think this is worth talking about.
Election season's coming up.
We are going to see deepfakes, and they are going to improve at the speed of maximum economic investment.
He was like, Jesus Christ, I come in here trying to get a quick cue and it's Bidenator and it's Trump saying it.
But no, what I think we're gonna see is, how much money do they invest in presidential elections?
It's got to be what, billions?
Billions.
I think Obama was a billion.
So now, imagine how much money is going to be on both sides for an election, especially with how crazy things are getting in this country.
And they are going to be investing, people are going to invest tens of millions into advancing deepfake technology.
I guarantee it right now.
Some political person, I don't care what political party, saw this and they said, if we can make this impeccable, we will never lose another election again.
And so they're meeting right now with deepfake companies saying, and I bet a lot of it is totally like seemingly on the level.
Some guy who's got nefarious intentions goes to an AI company and says, hey, I want to invest, you know, a billion dollars into the development of the technology.
And they go, wow, that's really great.
Thank you for the funding.
And what they intend to do with it is make realistic videos that are indistinguishable.
And so my fear is Not that you'll see a video go viral of Joe Biden reinstating the draft.
Why?
Well, people are going to be like, get out of here.
He never did.
That's a deepfake.
But what they'll do is, you'll have a real video of Donald Trump saying, we should condemn them totally, referring to white supremacists and neo-Nazis, and what they'll do is they'll make an impeccable deepfake replica where he should say, and some of them should be condemned totally!
A very minor difference, but a drastic change in the context.
What's going to happen is, Democrats will share the video of Trump going, and I'm not talking about the white nationalists because some of them should be condemned totally, and they're going to go, he said some of them!
Like, he's implying there may be some good ones there, and they're all going to share it, and it's going to infect that bubble, and then you're going to get the right being like, no, no, he said they should be, he's talking about all of them, and there's going to be two different versions of one news event existing for both different political factions.
Yes, but you can still... So I was at a family holiday event, and I was talking about how China was potentially getting access to the DNA from COVID tests.
And, you know, one individual was like, what, get out of here, that's BS, that's not true, you can't say that.
And then I just pulled up my phone, pulled up NPR, reporting it, and I handed it to them and they read it and they went, oh wow, I didn't know that.
And I'm like, you're sitting here thinking I'm wrong about this, I was just citing NPR of all sources.
What happens when they go, no, and they pull up a video and they show you the video, and you go, that's not a real video, they'll say, you're a conspiracy theorist and you're lying, I have the video.
We were talking about that today in one of our development meetings.
I don't know.
I think it's going to have to be either the person verifies the video themselves, and if it's a video of you that you don't verify, then there's no verification.
But then people like Project Veritas will try and catch someone, and they'll be like, no, that wasn't a real video.
So you've got to be like, at some point, The other idea is to build like a headset or some sort of tech that you can use that can see that it's a deepfake somehow, that can tell if it's AI.
You gotta understand the full sphere of what this means.
A video will come out of, say, a guy at Pfizer saying something ridiculous like, we're mutating the virus, or you know, who knows what.
And then what'll happen is, a Veritas-like organization will say, here's a video of the guy saying they're mutating the virus.
What they'll then do is they will make, using that video, another deepfake and say, ah, yes, but here's the part they cut out.
And then all of a sudden you'll see another video where the guy goes, could you imagine if like someone from these companies had something as crazy as we're mutating these viruses so that we can make more money?
That would be insane.
And then everyone will go, oh, Veritas cut the context out.
He was talking about how crazy it would have been if someone did say, he didn't actually say it.
If an organization, to defend itself, deepfakes your video, you can't prove the video doesn't exist.
You can only prove a video does exist.
So you'll get a video of Trump saying something like, you know, we're going to build a big beautiful wall, and then the left will, you'll get a combination of offensive and defensive deepfakes.
The left will make a video where Trump is, like, saying something somewhat offensive to add context, making it seem like he's racist.
And then to defend against it, the Republicans will add another bit where Trump is saying, can you believe what so-and-so said?
He said this.
And they'll just keep trying to change the context with deepfakes.
Think about what happens if you get filmed and someone leaks audio of you saying something offensive.
You can say, hey, that's out of context.
I wasn't actually saying- Probably wasn't.
So if Ian came on the show and said, I don't like buttered popcorn, and that clip went viral, people would be like, wow, he doesn't like buttered popcorn.
If Ian said, no, no, no, that's bad, he would just make a deep fake of him saying, I would never say something like, I don't like buttered popcorn.
And that inverts the context.
And that's what you can do with deepfakes too.
It's gonna be wild, man.
A billion dollars per campaign plus?
And how much of that money can get invested in making stuff like this?
Remember the meme wars in 2015-16?
Ramp it up, baby, because you're going to get a combination of, you're going to get subliminal, liminal, and superliminal deepfakes.
Superliminal deepfakes are going to be someone being like, and here's a new meme of Joe Biden singing the chicken song.
And it'll just be Joe Biden, it'll be silly.
Then you'll get stuff that are liminal, I'm doing air quotes, a Simpsons joke, that are more like what Jack Posobiec did, where it's some people might get confused by it, but he says what he's doing.
And then the subliminal is when they just leak stuff and then don't say anything about it, and people fall for it.
I think you made a good point that if Fetterman had a deepfake, because when they deepfake Biden, it's obvious it's a deepfake a lot of times because you can't hear the imperfections, like you can't hear the degraded quality in his brain.
Those videos of, like, Gen Zers being like, why do I have to have a job?
They are going to be the first in line to go into the pod.
They're gonna say, you know, you're right about this.
You shouldn't have to.
Step into pod where we will hook feeding tubes right into your gullet and then put the VR helmet on and you'll live in digital world where you can be whatever you identify as.
They've been lied to about most things and especially like the gender stuff like think about being a they-them on hormones working at Starbucks and there are like 20 mobile orders like I wouldn't and then you have like social anxiety disorder and stuff and like.
Boring, I agree with that, but like, you talk about people coming back from the jungle after losing a leg, like, I don't see combat vets complaining and bitching about how hard life is.
You know, I see a lot of the dialogue, especially when they're talking about, you know, if there was an apocalypse, they're saying, wow, you guys' will to live is incredible.
I'd just let, I'd let it all happen.
So I think these kids are severely depressed.
I think they don't really have much purpose because we've hyper fixated on individualism and this narcissistic society.
So these kids are just focusing on only themselves.
And they have a meaningless life because they have no other purpose except themselves.
So once we took away that community... Not even themselves.
I think when you get older, you care a lot less about... When you're in school and you have a peer group, you're forced to be around them.
You are told by the system, like, here you're doing this thing, it's either school or work, and so you have friends because of this confined space.
But when humans are set off to be on their own, they focus on family, which is moving down instead of, you know, your peer group is to your left and right, your family is the generation below you.
You'll care a lot more about that and you'll strive for a lot more for that than you would just friends.
As you get older, family is the human component that people need.
It's not just that, but it's her implication that having children is humiliating.
If you had a kid, you would.
And that's why it's crazy.
You get that Chelsea Handler video where she's like, I don't have kids, so I get to wake up,
do drugs and masturbate.
And I was like, that sounds like what a 16 year old would say, lady.
And so a lot of these things, too, seem so silly that are in the news and stuff because you have people who can't raise families the way that we're supposed to.
It's not ideal circumstances to have families, and I'm fortunate enough that I can provide, but a lot of people can't.
And I understand that.
They don't have that village, they don't have the community, they don't have the economic resources.
So it's kind of twofold, where you want to promote family values and tell everyone to have families, and that's your purpose, but it's also very hard for people to do that now.
Have you been able to find the tribe or Yeah, and I'm fortunate enough to have a good support system, but I think that's where conservatives kind of fall short is that, you know, you push these family values, but they're not really pushing any legislation or policies or changes to make it easier to have families and for families to survive.
So I do think that Republicans tend to play on the defense instead of offense, and they're not making pro-family policies.
They're not making it easier for people to find that purpose.
I was meeting people from all over Earth, random people that I had nothing in common with, that I was taking in their behaviors and idiosyncrasies and values and things before I even knew who they were.
And I would get, like, demons.
I mean, the darkness in humanity would start to seep into me.
We're launching that show, Poker with the Boys, right?
And it's meant to just be like a boys' show hangout.
There'll be girls there, too.
It's not just boys.
But like the general idea is to hang out with your friends style podcast where people are smack talking, ribbing on each other, probably talk whatever is in current news, but it won't be a news show like this.
I gotta tell you, there's professional athletes and musicians that I'm a huge fan of and I'm like, they got no kids.
But look, look, I'm going to be 37 in a week.
I don't got any kids either.
That's kind of crazy to me.
And so, you know, private business, but there is an intention for me to have a family.
But there are a lot of people I see who are now in their 50s that I grew up watching and looking up to, to a certain degree, have no families at all.
And I'm like, that's it.
That's the end of their genetic influence.
Their legacy ends with them.
Now there are a lot of people who have kids, don't get me wrong, a lot of people have kids, but there are just some rock stars and pro athletes and I'm just like, man, they just didn't have any families.
That kind of bums me out because it means like the life lessons and the genetics, the combination of these things that made them who they were, such great people that had a tremendous positive impact on the world, Gone.
With them gone.
And I'm not saying their kids are gonna grow up to become famous or anything.
They might, you know, be, you know, dickheads or something.
You know, when people say, like, I don't want to bring a kid into this world, like the world is just such a scary place and it's only getting worse.
Like, how could I subject someone to grow up in a world like this?
And like, yeah, there are unique factors to like why living today is different, maybe worse in a lot of ways, but I think people are just afraid of being the person with the biggest impact on an impressionable person.
They're afraid of passing down their own mediocrity.
It's these weird talking stages and they're talking stages mean like the hookup phase and you're seeing someone But she's also talking about 21-year-old dudes who go to college in California.
The only way to beat it is to not participate in it.
The only way to get rid of hookup culture is to just stop hooking up with people.
And I'm sorry, but most of the girls on this podcast, whatever, are hooking up with people.
They're making the problem worse, and they're not willing to take accountability.
I think that's why a lot of People are like angry when they see this clip because they're like, I mean, I don't know this about this girl individually, but like the archetype, you know, she's contributing to her own problem.
And also Andrew Tate is a participant in hookup culture.
So it doesn't really resonate when I hear him talking about the negative effects.
The alternative isn't even being alone, it's just like dating in a normal way that doesn't immediately, like for these women, give strange men access to your body.
If you are in your best place and you meet someone in their best place, then you will realize together you're something, but they're not going to make you better.
You got to be up there so that they can come up to meet you.
I made that mistake for a long time thinking she was going to fix me.
So what's advice you guys would give to young guys?
Because I think a lot of guys are afraid of... rejection sucks.
And getting rejected in public, if that gets blasted out on the internet, not only... you might even look like a predator.
Kids are probably... guys are probably afraid of that.
I mean, that's really... A lot of people say that, but it's like, okay, you're going to go up to someone in church and be like, hi, like... That wouldn't be very trad.
But I just feel like they have to, they have to live, you know, you have to walk the walk and you can't be calling for traditional lifestyles if you yourself are involved in hookup culture and things like that.
You know, if that's what you want, really, Tim's not wrong.
No, for real, they say, you know, guys will go to a bar to pick up chicks, and it's just like, I guess that makes sense for a guy.
But for a woman, it doesn't make sense, because you're gonna get a guy who's not looking for any kind of real relationship.
That's what this young woman is basically saying.
She comes to a point in the video where she says, like, this is not gonna lead to a real relationship.
And then there's another video going viral of a Japanese woman who was surprised when she met this guy's family.
And she was like, so this guy, I've been seeing him, we went on five dates, he introduces me to his family, and I'm thinking like, wow, this is a really big deal, like, we're hitting it off.
And then when she inquires, he's like, no, no, no, we're just friends.
And she was like, what?
Like, that doesn't exist where she's from.
When a guy and a girl hang out several times, they're dating.
When they introduce their families to each other, it's very serious.
In America, look, that's another thing about feminism.
Well, so the thing about incels is most of these guys, it's an internal problem.
It's never been easier for these guys to hook up.
You go to a bar, buy some drinks, everybody gets, you know, has a good time, they're drunk, they go party, and then before you know it... But that's tough.
There is a reason why bars have the lights turned low, and there's a reason why there's that, you can buy it at Hot Topic or Spencer's or whatever, it says beer, making ugly people attractive since, you know, like 900 AD.
I went to theater school and I met other actresses, girls, and that's how I got my first real serious girlfriend because I was pretty nerdy in high school.
Don't lie to your way into a relationship, but... No, like, if you're at Home Depot for a real reason, you gotta have a problem fixed, you're gonna find a better quality guy.
But not just that, like, guys like solving problems and being helpful.
If a woman goes to a guy and says, look, I gotta fix a door and I need somebody who can help me do it, you know, a guy might be like, that sounds great.
The problem with arranged marriage is that it's anti-meritocratic in that you might have a three-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl, And then they're like, our kids are going to get married when they're older.
And then by 18, the male is like a hundred pounds, soaking wet, frail.
Like, people, like, I think our generation and younger are led to believe because of movies that, you know, you walk into a bar and there's, like, a beautiful woman and it's like, My heart be still I'm in love and it's just like yeah, and then you find out she's like a white supremacist You know and you're like, whoa, I don't want to be like she's attractive but not I'm not going there You know, like you sound like this has happened to you No, I just mean like
You see a beautiful woman and it turns out she's just like messed up.
There could be like a pretty lady and you're like, wow, she's beautiful.
And then she's like, the people from the moon have stolen my cheese.
And you're like, okay, I'm getting out of here.
Or, you know, I don't know, maybe your guy was into that kind of crazy wild ride.
Facebook would understand things about you in weird ways.
Like, you don't need to tell Facebook you're a conservative.
Facebook can see your post where you say MAGA 2024.
You don't need to tell Facebook that you enjoy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because you once posted an image of a blue circle.
And it seems completely unrelated.
But there will be weird things like that.
Where statistically, people who like peanut butter and jelly for some reason are more likely to post blue circles than red squares.
And we don't notice those things, but the AI will because it's looking at hundreds of millions of internet interactions and then finding statistical correlations.
Somebody who likes turkey bacon is more likely to be left-leaning.
But what about something like you go to McDonald's at 7 in the morning.
Oh, you're more likely to get oil changes in the third of the month at 7 p.m.
Like, weird things that we can't see, it will find those correlations and tell you.
That means in dating apps, if it took your social media profile, all of your data, we could easily, at this point, make an AI that would be like, here's your perfect match.
I think we're getting- In terms of attractiveness, in terms of location, in terms of personality, the AI would break it all down and be like, based on the people you've messaged, based on the people she's messaged, based on what you like and don't like, the times you go to the bathroom and the food you eat, you should get married.
Why would a guy do the extra work and make himself monogamous with her when feminism says he can have her and all the other women all at the same time?
That was because dudes would go bang the girl in the barn and the father would run with a shotgun and be like, uh-uh, that was my daughter, now you're married.
And the guy was like, aw, shucks.
The meme was that the guy didn't want to get married, he just wanted to hook up, but there were moral obligations to a woman.
Women had leverage.
Now, it's all free, baby.
She's like, I got nothing.
Because of, uh... You're like, she should have a boyfriend.
She's attractive.
I mean, maybe 20, 30, 40 years ago.
But now, a guy hooks up with her and says, I can call her whenever I want and she'll be there because she wants me and I don't have to give her anything.
Except this woman says to the guy, hey, I want to be in a relationship, and he goes, lady, I got 50 women on Tinder right now saying the opposite of what you're saying.

We're gonna have a live members-only show where we expand upon many of these ideas.
We've got some pretty dark subject matter for you tonight, and it's gonna be uncensored and not so family-friendly, so that's why it'll be on TimCast.com, but let's read your Super Chats.
I'm Not Your Buddy Guy says, I'm not your guy, friend.
I'm not your friend, buddy.
I need, Jesus says Matthew 24, 4 through 13, 2, Timothy 13 through 2, or Timothy 3, 1 through
7, and John 6, 37 through 39. Does anyone know those? What that's a reference to?
Rusty Shekelford says, would IRC happen to be in the running for members only chat protocol now that Discord is out for the moment?
No, the Discord is almost done.
And so we'll go with that and we'll see what happens.
But IRC was a really funny idea.
It's a good idea.
The problem is we just have to create like a new IRC server every morning or something.
It'd be kind of weird.
And then anybody could just share and give access to it.
So what we're trying to do is create a system where if you're a member at TimCast.com, it gives you access to the Discord, which is relatively easy to do.
But yeah, agreed.
I don't trust Discord.
However, I will say, like, we're not banned from YouTube.
So I'm not super worried about getting banned from Discord.
I just don't like it.
And when we were thinking about doing a different service, they're probably worse.
Oh, we could easily do a movie yeah, we just need a good script and
six weeks I think I think a comedy, a political comedy movie would be great because the budget can be low and then we would just reach out to people like Ryan Long, you know?
He might be... I don't want to... Or the Bambalon Bee?
Well, yeah, of course.
I'm just saying we'd get a bunch of people and then we could do like a funny movie.
For me, with skateboarding, it got to the point where there's, like, nothing left for me to do.
I've been skating since I was about 13, and all the tricks I've wanted to do, I've done.
And there are some things, obviously, like, I'm not the best skateboarder in the world.
There's a lot of things I can't do.
I'm never gonna do, like, a kickflip McTwist or anything, but I've never been passionate about that.
So all the things I wanted to do, I've done, gotten the dopamine release, and now I'm like, in my mid-30s, and I'm like, I like skating, you know, I'll do some tricks here and there, but I have no desire to do a nollie heel flip crook, you know, big spin out or something, because, like, I did that when I was a teenager, like, the feeling isn't there anymore.
So now it's mostly just about cruising around, doing some big ollies, getting a few kick flips, heel flips, maybe a few good flip tricks, some, you know, late flips in.
skating the mini ramp and just cruising around carving hitting some grinds you
get the flow of things and it feels good you get the exercise
but that drive to like I don't know you know switch flip blunt
unidentified
is just not there anymore. What if Elon said he wants you to come kick flip
on a spaceship? There's probably better people he could ask to do that.
And then what happens is, there's a thing called priority.
That's right, priority, right?
In magic.
And so, when someone plays a creature, if you have a counterspell, priority goes to you, you ask the audience, they spam it, you give it five seconds, say, okay.
Did you guys see the guy who built a software program where you can play pool on a video game and it controls his pool stick and shoots the actual pool and then he has a camera on his table?
And so I like playing red and blue, which is chaos and control.
It's a mix.
And then, you know, it is what it is.
Let's read some more.
What do we got here?
Some more Super Chats.
Clint Torres says, I think Fetterman is in for an experimental treatment and one day is going to come out in a press conference, rip open his suit to expose a Superman symbol and yell, hey, you guys.
Look, man, they've got stuff.
OK, let me just say stuff.
It's like $8,000 stem cell treatments.
We got Bocas, the cat, stem cells to save his kidneys.
So we can actually create, like, the VIP lounge elite access, you know, or whatever.
And it's like, I'd rather have it be based on, like, time frames.
Like, you become a member, and then if you've been a member for a certain amount of time, you move up in the, you know, rooms or whatever.
Yeah there'll be like the VIP lounge and it's like if you've been a member longer than three months then you're in the VIP lounge.
I wouldn't want to do anything where it's like over a year but maybe because then it's good for us it encourages people to stay members for a long time to go in these rooms.
At the beginning, after being told to call a generic helpline, I was informed by the PNC representative that per the terms and conditions, PNC reserves the right to reevaluate their business relationships at any time and terminate accounts without cause.
This is what happens and this is why, and I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me here, but I was very concerned with the compulsion to disavow Kanye.
Because he had just been banned from Chase Bank.
And that, to me, no matter what he said, is really scary.
But conservatives, even if they had never said anything even remotely similar to what Kanye said, they had this compulsion to disavow, which makes it worse.
James Madison's Ghost says AI deepfake videos will become the fake news headlines that get shadow changed a day later after everyone has already read them, misinforming people.
Yeah man, the Trump example of disavowing white supremacists is exactly it.
They will make a deepfake, alter one word to make it sound worse, and that's all liberals will see.
Welcome to the future.
Dorktanian says you're very optimistic about this.
There are going to be bots automatically feeding news stories to the AI skewed in their favor to have instant deepfakes created as the stories pop up.
Yup.
So we're using AI for TimCast.com news articles.
When there's a story, we're taking, not all of it, sometimes we'll just get a picture of the guy and we're making our own custom art for everything.
But some of it is AI deepfake in that, like, we did a story about Pete Buttigieg and the train derailment.
So our news team just AI-generated a Pete Buttigieg art with a train derailment art, and that's what we used for the story.
It's not a real picture.
No one would confuse it as being a real picture because it looks like a painting.
But we're using AI for the characterization of these things.
I don't know about that. I don't know if we did the Star Trek joke in this cast in the cast
cast castle episode, but considering it's already out anyway, I'm going to say it but um
we took we uh Captain Picard and Data and deep faked a conversation between the two between the
two of them where Data accuses Picard of being racist because of disparaging remarks about Klingons.
And, you know, my brother made a funny joke about it.
I don't know if it's actually in the episode, but that was an idea I had where I was like, If the gag is the camera comes into the room and I'm sitting there watching Star Trek, then we can make Star Trek say whatever we want.
So it's like I'm sitting there watching the TV and you can see like the Enterprise fly in and then it cuts to my face and you hear Data being like, I just can't quite figure out how to give it to her properly, sir.
unidentified
Well, Data, you have to try and thrust, thrust, you know, things like that.
Yeah, we could like- we- and we should just do it all the time because it's hilarious.
But this one was particularly offensive, so.
I don't know if it made it in the episode, I don't know.
But all I know is if it did, it was hilariously edgy.
It was good.
I'll talk about it in the members-only show.
All right, where are we at?
Matthew Waddell.
Like Adam Selene, the AI leader of the rebel movement in Heinlein's The Moon, is a harsh mistress.
The book was written in the 60s.
Interesting.
All right, where are we at?
Ewape says, need to start attributing a cryptographic hash to metadata of official videos.
Can't use legally if the hash doesn't match public key.
Nope, because there's screen grabs, because there's compression, because there's downloads.
So you can try and attach metadata tags to things, but there will be, as soon as Trump gives a speech, there will be 15 versions of that speech on the internet.
Figure out which one's the real one, and what they'll do is the fake ones, they'll get meta tags too, and they'll say, no, ours is the real one.
Then you'll get nefarious actors that will film it, Deepfake it.
The actual press will be at the event.
They will film Trump Speak.
Then they will deepfake alter it, put a meta tag on it, and be like, that's the real one.
I want to give a shout out to, I think it's Mel and Rye.
Rock, Paper, Scissors, Anime is an amazing video.
I talked about this a little bit, I think, earlier.
This YouTube channel Corridor Crew.
They used AI technology to turn themselves into anime characters.
So, in order to make an anime battle, it's anime rock-paper-scissors.
Two brothers fight over the throne by playing rock-paper-scissors, and it's actually really funny.
Like, when they rock-paper-scissors shoot, there's, like, wind, and, like, the windows all explode, and they're like, ugh!
But they filmed themselves in a green screen, then used AI to convert that into anime.
Then they took photorealistic environments from Unreal Engine, I think, converted that to anime, to animation style, and then made this show without actually drawing anything.
But we're not gonna, in my opinion, it's still rudimentary.
I think we're a couple years away from you typing in, make me an anime about two brothers fighting over the throne, and it will just start rendering, and then it'll be like, come back in 10 minutes, boom, here's a 15 minute episode.
It's gonna be crazy, because I'm gonna be like, write a sequel to the X-Files movie, where Mulder actually discovers there are aliens, and then I'll watch it, and I'll actually enjoy it.
Yeah, I'm thinking like, it's going to be less about making the best piece of art and more about making consistently good art.
Because there's going to be so much of it that there might be flash in the pans of this is so great, that's so great, but the really great ones are going to get reused and recopied and reprinted over and over again.
So you just need to be known for putting out lots and lots and lots, if you want to make a career in it, I mean.
So what you should do is, when you have your kid, bring him out to the woods and, you know, teach him to fight and punch trees and start fires and, like, campfires, I mean, obviously.
Put your emotions and your truth, honesty and your face on the internet on video after video and listen to people and make responses and create community.
Neglectful Sausage says, I've always said Star Trek is racist AF.
In Next Generation, Picard says, like a Romulan, or like a Klingon to people, using race as an insult.
DS9 was the same.
Well, okay, well, yes, that's a good point.
And you should watch Cast Castle to see the bit we did, because it's basically that.
So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends, become a member over at TimCast.com by clicking join us, and in about 10 minutes we'll have the live, uncensored after show up for all of you to hang out.
And we've got some pretty dark stuff to talk about.
It's not going to be family friendly, so you're being warned.
Tomorrow, at 1pm over at youtube.com slash timcast, we will have a hangout interview slash conversation with Pete Parada, formerly of The Offspring, and we're going to talk about the issue he faced with the VAX mandates, how he was unceremoniously removed from The Offspring after 14 years, and I gotta tell you guys a crazy story.
So Pete has been in two of the music videos out of three we've done so far.
Technically there's four, but two of the ones we've done recently.
One's not out yet, it's currently being edited, and he came out here, we filmed.
He's amazing, he's an amazing drummer.
It's an honor and a privilege for me to get to work with the drummer who was with The Offspring for 14 years, because they were my childhood favorite band.
But he's never publicly done an interview about what happened with being kicked out of the band because he's a very humble, you know, kind of quiet guy.
But I asked him if he would want to come on and talk about this and give us the full picture and talk about a bunch of other things, and he agreed.
So we're going to be recording it tomorrow morning for the Culture War podcast episode two.
But here's the crazy story.
Last night after this show, I go home, and I'm getting ready for bed, and I press power on the TV.
The only thing I press.
And because usually I watch like Yellowstone or 1883, but I finished watching those, so I watched some movie last night.
So I go into my bedroom, and I turn the TV on, throw the remote in the bed, go into the bathroom, take my contacts out, when all of a sudden I start hearing Kill Boy Powerhead.
An offspring song.
And I'm like, what?
And then I walk out and Allison, my girlfriend, she's like, did you turn this on?
And I was like, I turned the TV on.
It was The Offspring playing at a rock concert, playing the song Killboy Powerhead, and Pete's playing the drums on the show.
And I was like, oh, look, it's Pete.
And then Allison's like, you didn't turn this on?
And I'm like, all I did was turn the TV on.
I didn't turn a channel on.
I didn't open Amazon.
I didn't do anything.
I just pressed power.
So I have no idea why that turned on, but it was just kind of crazy.
Part of the algorithms manipulating us to see what the machine creators want us to see is that... I think it's the Ouija board, Ian.
All I did was press power.
Sometimes synergy is real.
It's like god-like spirituality, and I'm afraid that people might lose the distinction between algorithmic manipulation and God actually moving people together.
Anyway, we're gonna go to the members-only show, Uncensored, at TimCast.com, and also check out the Culture War podcast tomorrow at 1pm, youtube.com slash TimCast.
