| Let's get into the news. | ||
| Our resident illegal wrestler, right? | ||
| Resident a lot of things, but. | ||
| You got a good mustache. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I was actually I thought it was a little too short and I've been a little self conscious about it. | ||
| You shouldn't be. | ||
| Good. | ||
| You keep it. | ||
| It's very Bolton-esque. | ||
| I like it. | ||
| No, I had one for years. | ||
| I kept thinking about regrowing it, so I was looking at it a little jealous. | ||
| I think you should. | ||
| I'm going to regrow it. | ||
| I'm actually bringing the full beard back, I think, for the fun. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| We'll see how it goes. | ||
| As a half Italian, someone was just talking about Dago culture. | ||
| Can you believe the vulgarity? | ||
| So I we were talking about the Rizzler. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And how he's bringing it back. | ||
| He's bringing it back. | ||
| He's a nine year old boy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Bringing back the Sopranos. | ||
| Water pressure on his little chubby shoulders. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| If any, if anyone can do it, the Rizzler can. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He can. | ||
| Three mobile phones, that kid. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So from the Guardian, US House panel subpoenas Bill and Hillary Clinton for Epstein testimony. | ||
| House oversight committee also issued subpoenas to several former attorneys, general and FBI directors. | ||
| House oversight committee on the 10th of September. | ||
| The House Oversight Committee on Tuesday issued subpoenas to Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as several former attorneys general and directors of the FBI demanding testimony related to horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein. | ||
| The investigative committee's Republican chair James Comer sent the subpoenas in response to two motions lawmakers approved on a bipartisan basis last month. | ||
| As Congress navigated outrage among Donald Trump supporters over the Justice Department's announcement that it would not release further details about Epstein, a disgraced financier who died in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. | ||
| Died. | ||
| Yeah, allegedly. | ||
| The subpoenas raised the possibility that more people more More details will come public about Trump's relationship with Epstein, which stretched for years but appeared to have peetered out by the time Epstein was convicted of sexually abusing girls in 2008. | ||
| Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported on the existence of sexually suggestive sketch and lewd letters sent, Trump sent to Epstein as a fiftieth birthday gift in 2003. | ||
| Does this seem like it's going anywhere, gentlemen? | ||
| Well, we all have wonderful secrets. | ||
| Very wonderful. | ||
| I think honestly, special secrets, right? | ||
| I think Bill has to take, what's he going to say under oath? | ||
| I mean, he's lied under oath before about similar things. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Except it was a legal of age Husky intern. | ||
| But this time. | ||
| Who's actually aged very well. | ||
| Have you seen new picture? | ||
| Recent picture? | ||
| She's gotten better with age. | ||
| She looks great. | ||
| She's like a fine wine. | ||
| Good on you, Monica Lewis. | ||
| Yeah, good on her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not on Yeah, the opposite of right. | |
| When the on you came out, I was like, Oh, we got a joke here. | ||
| Yes, yeah. | ||
| All over her. | ||
| She's a Yeah, but I I mean, if they have to actually pull out what, phone records or some kind of records that he has to be honest about, there's no doubt he's on the list. | ||
| The only thing that would shock anyone is if he wasn't. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Even his own wife would be like, Wow, really really? | ||
| You weren't? | ||
| Everyone knows he is, right? | ||
| Hillary would be like, I feel bad for hitting you all those times. | ||
| I know, right? | ||
| Like, I thought it was just the one girl. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| We're all amazed. | ||
| But I mean, I don't, I don't imagine that Bill and Hillary Clinton are going to reveal any information that isn't already known. | ||
| No, we all know he likes to have sex with people that are not his wife. | ||
| I mean, but in fairness, have you seen his wife? | ||
| I wouldn't want to have sex with his wife. | ||
| No, no one would. | ||
| I don't think men, anyone would. | ||
| Look at those, the big Maxwell House can get crazy. | ||
| I don't think I'm doing myself any favor here, but I will say. | ||
| Back in the day, Hillary Clinton wasn't the worst looking woman. | ||
| You're not doing yourself a favor. | ||
| You're saying when she was Epstein Island age? | ||
| No, back in the day. | ||
| There was this one photo of her college. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, back in the day. | ||
| Oh, no, you're right. | ||
| Her college photos are pretty good. | ||
| Is she kind of You know which one I'm talking about? | ||
| I do. | ||
| She's on the lawn with her glasses. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| Here I am. | ||
| Search, can you pull that up? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Pull it up, please. | ||
| You're not. | ||
| Pull up hot Hillary Clinton, please. | ||
| Search, come on. | ||
| Disavow. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| There's probably not a lot of hot Hillary Clinton. | ||
| There's probably just the one. | ||
| Google shouldn't show you one picture. | ||
| Or it's just her in hell. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pull it up. | |
| I'm telling you, there's just one. | ||
| She looks relatively good. | ||
| Google Hot Hillary Clinton and see what comes up. | ||
| Put moderately attractive Hillary. | ||
| I hate when people pretend that there are no hot liberal women. | ||
| I hate that. | ||
| Oh, there's hot liberal. | ||
| I hate that. | ||
| There's many hot liberal women. | ||
| There's at least like twelve. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| We thought Sidney's Oh, yeah, black and white. | ||
| I don't remember it being black and white. | ||
| No, to the right, that one. | ||
| Yeah, that one. | ||
| That's more. | ||
| That's a little bit older, but the one to the right was Okay, you don't have to pull the Time article. | ||
| Oh, no, no. | ||
| Keep scrolling down. | ||
| That looks like she's just a troll in a horror movie. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Holly. | ||
| She looks like an extra from This is the one with the glasses. | ||
| I don't like it. | ||
| Bell, we're supposed to go to the island. | ||
| I'm the one next to this on the ground. | ||
| We're going to miss our flight, Bell. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sorry. | |
| I like women, but I can't tell people in this time. | ||
| Up to that point, I thought that after the Bill and Monica Lewinsky thing, I thought she swore off men. | ||
| I kind of got that vibe. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I thought she swore off men before it. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Monica, okay, fair. | ||
| You can't own that many suits and be into men. | ||
| Pants suits are Yeah. | ||
| Okay, they're like the Subaru for the ultra wealthy. | ||
| They certainly are. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| No, her and her staff have always had a lot of trouble with men. | ||
| Huma Abedine also went through who was it? | ||
| Anthony Weiner in that whole affair. | ||
| Now Huma Abedine is with Soros. | ||
| Soros junior Alex Soros and are probably power players, frankly, in the Democratic Party. | ||
| And we all know Anthony. | ||
| Obviously. | ||
| Anthony Weiner loves adult women. | ||
| We all know that. | ||
| You know, you could blame Anthony Weiner for helping contribute to Trump's first election win because he, something with his emails or the case was reopened in him because of some more allegations that came out against him. | ||
| I'd need to review the exact story, but he helped give more credence and evidence or give more reason to investigate further into the email scandal. | ||
| Didn't do her any favors. | ||
| So. | ||
| No. | ||
| But I mean, so anyway, back to the Epstein stuff. | ||
| I don't see how this, the Bill and Hillary Clinton are going to make a difference. | ||
| I certainly am not going to, you know, trust anything Bill says. | ||
| The hot picture, it's not working. | ||
| No, that's definitely not the hot. | ||
| But, but, but, but, but, but if they're, they don't list who the Attorneys General and FBI directors are, but that might actually produce something that's, you know, worth discussing, you know? | ||
| Yeah, evidently this Epstein guy had some sex trafficking going on. | ||
| Apparently. | ||
| Who do you think is the most hilarious photo taken on Epstein Island so far that has been leaked? | ||
| Well, I mean, the Stephen Hawking, right? | ||
| I haven't seen I haven't seen the Stephen Hawking. | ||
| Oh, look it up. | ||
| Stephen Hawking on Epstein Island is hilarious. | ||
| That's so funny. | ||
| There's like two girls holding daikires. | ||
| Clearly he's not drinking them. | ||
| That guy can't swallow. | ||
| He talks with his. | ||
| It's so funny. | ||
| Bring me another drink. | ||
| Yeah, I'm thirsty. | ||
| Can they do? | ||
| You look up hot Stephen Hawking? | ||
| I've been with Elsa back in the day. | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| Where is it? | ||
| Yeah, there's got Oh, there it is. | ||
| There it is. | ||
| He's having the time with it. | ||
| Over on the top left, top left, right there. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Yeah, he's having the time. | ||
| On autopilot. | ||
| I mean, I don't think he went to the island. | ||
| I think he was brought. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| Look, here's the thing though. | ||
| Back in the day, if you were anyone, you got the invitation to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein in this cool little billionaire's club with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Stephen Hawkings. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The FOMO had to be crazy. | ||
| Kevin Spacey who got there and was like, There's not even any male waiters. | ||
| That's why he went home. | ||
| Spacey's like, I'm going home. | ||
| He just like, Turn this plan around. | ||
| You know, I hear nothing sticking to that guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Not a thing. | ||
| Oh yeah, nothing. | ||
| I'm nothing. | ||
| At least none of the cases. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I love that he's like, I of course. | ||
| Because there weren't all underage girls there. | ||
| It's like, what do you care? | ||
| It's not a little boy island, Kevin. | ||
| Nobody thinks you're guilty. | ||
| If there was like a Disney World list, I mean, you'd be in trouble. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If there was a Hollywood list. | ||
| Yeah, right? | ||
| If there was just a Hailey Joel Osborn looking like, how many young men have you taken to Disneyland after a long day on set? | ||
| I have no idea if it's true, but there's a story of him and Liam Nason. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| a kid on the set and he's like, yeah, we can go back up to my room and study lines. | ||
| And Kevin Spacey goes to the bathroom and immediately Liam Neeson's like, Don't go up to his room. | ||
| Whatever you do. | ||
| Don't do it. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| I mean, you know, you and you know, you want to like Liam Neeson, don't you? | ||
| Like, yeah. | ||
| Kind of want you're like, Man, I hope he's a good guy. | ||
| I haven't gotten the role in Taken. | ||
| He actually, the director overheard him saying, he's like, That's the guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's the guy. | |
| You know, he's in his fifties, but he just saved that kid. | ||
| I think he could be an action star. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I agree. | |
| I agree. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Yeah, so I don't think there's a whole lot more to say about the whole Epstein stuff. | ||
| But I think he's right. | ||
| If I mean, if you were anyone, Chris Tucker we saw on the plane. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, yeah, I don't know. | ||
| I never I never actually looked into the list, but I mean, I'm aware that there was like a lot of power players and, and, and, you know, if you were anyone, it was, it was thought of like, you want to be around those people, which is part of the reason why I think that there's a lot of people that don't, A lot of people in positions of power, they don't want the list to come out because back then no one knew what Epstein was up to or ostensibly no one knew what Epstein was up to. | ||
| And they were like, well, you know, I want to go hang out with those people. | ||
| And if you're in that kind of, you know, I guess if your bank account is that big, those people tend to just hang out with each other and be around each other because that's the thing to do. | ||
| um there's a lot of people that are just like oh i don't want this to come out because it's gonna me and and people automatically assume oh you were on the list or you were at went to the island so you automatically must have done nefarious things and while you know it's not great to be in his company, especially nowadays to look back. | ||
| It's like, it's, it makes sense for people that if they didn't do anything to be, you know, Dershowitz is another is one that's like, yes. | ||
| Whether or not he actually did. | ||
| Yeah, he's me. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| He's like, I'm just the lawyer for the past. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| And that's like, that's Dershowitz's MO. | ||
| He's like, who's the scummiest guy? | ||
| I'm going to find him and defend him. | ||
| And I guess if you do that, you know, your people are going to assume things about you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| You get used to it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, and he's also, you're going to get flight logs. | ||
| You're not going to get like what they liked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's not like you're not getting a menu. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, you're not going to get Janet thirteen with Bill Clinton Broom Closet at four. | ||
| It's not like Yelp reviews, so I'm going to get it. | ||
| Two stars. | ||
| She didn't even pretend she liked it. | ||
| Yeah, there's nothing you're going to get like Yeah, so it's no matter what comes out, it's always going to be an assumption, right? | ||
| Apparently not. | ||
| Okay, so I mean, I don't really have a whole lot more to add to the Epstein story, so why don't we move on to this next story here. | ||
| New York, I'm sorry, Washington DC apparently is a nightmare. | ||
| Donald Trump tweeted the other day, I believe this was today. | ||
| Crime in Washington DC is totally out of control. | ||
| Local youths and gang members, some only fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens at the same time, knowing that they will be almost immediately released. | ||
| They're not afraid of law enforcement because they know that nothing ever happens to them, but it's going to happen now. | ||
| The law in DC must be changed to prosecute these minors as adults and lock them up for a long time starting at age fourteen. | ||
| The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs. | ||
| Washington, DC must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans, and importantly for the world to see. | ||
| If DC doesn't get its act together and quickly, we will have no choice but to take federal control of the city and run this city how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they're not going to get away with it anymore. | ||
| Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man and so many others would not have had to go through the horrors of violent crime. | ||
| If this continues, I am going to exert my powers and federalize the city, make America great again. | ||
| And then Elon Musk retweeted Donald Trump's truth. | ||
| A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC. | ||
| saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but saved her life, it's time to federalize DC. | ||
| Look, everyone knows that DC has been an absolute madhouse when it comes to crime for a long time. | ||
| You can go to certain areas and you're pretty safe, but that's because those places are where congress people are frequenting, where staff are frequenting. | ||
| But if you go just a couple blocks the wrong direction, you're likely to get beaten or mugged or whatever. | ||
| I don't know that federalizing is actually the proper role, but if the municipality won't handle it, maybe the federal government should step in. | ||
| Yeah, you don't want Paul Pelosi to get another headhammer. | ||
| Well, that happened in San Francisco, but still. | ||
| Yeah, well, I mean, he goes into the wrong neighborhoods for different things. | ||
| He does. | ||
| Usually. | ||
| But it's not gay sex. | ||
| What? | ||
| Too much? | ||
| No, not at all. | ||
| No, I mean, I'm just making assumptions, of course. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course. | |
| Yeah, I don't think the matter. | ||
| But there's nothing wrong with pontificating. | ||
| There's nothing wrong with it. | ||
| No, I'm just guessing that Tryon would buy a male escort from a school bus. | ||
| Yeah, this sounds horrible. | ||
| I'm from Detroit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
| Oh, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I can't imagine this kind of crimes as light work. | |
| In a major city. | ||
| I don't know if federalizing is a very good idea, to be honest. | ||
| I also don't think prosecuting all minors as adults as first time offenders is a very good idea, if I'm being honest. | ||
| I mean, I understand what you're saying, but right now the MO is the young kids are the ones that are sent out to commit the crime because the older gang bangers know that they don't get treated like adults. | ||
| If it's killing, they should extend the sentence, but I don't think that it's something that should just be, I understand like the cusp of seventeen, a lot of them are doing that, and then they're also bragging in court that they're not going to get in trouble for it. | ||
| So I think they should extend the sentence, obviously., but I don't I don't think that giving them no chance at all at the age of fourteen is wise either. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What's your personal opinion? | ||
| What do you think a lot? | ||
| You're fairly the law is the law kind of dude. | ||
| So me, Serge, and Tate actually witnessed these YNs firsthand the other weekend in Washington, DC. | ||
| And it's actually extremely odd. | ||
| It's a group of like twenty, thirty, some odd very young kids. | ||
| Like you could tell in their faces. | ||
| Nobody's probably above the age of seventeen. | ||
| As young as maybe even thirteen and fourteen, being followed by like three or four different police cars and they're just running around the streets., throwing things and yelling. | ||
| I guess some groups may be more aggressive than others. | ||
| Obviously, assaulting someone is messed up and you should go to jail as a result of that. | ||
| But again, I don't know. | ||
| At the age of fourteen, it might be a little young to be trying to charge people as adults. | ||
| And I haven't heard as many of the cases of them murdering people, but if you murder someone, I think you should be charged as an adult for that crime in particular. | ||
| I don't know what the murder rate is in DC, but I know there was a time recently in the past ten or so years where DC was the murder capital of the United States. | ||
| You're darn tooting. | ||
| Yeah, so I mean this is 190. | ||
| That's a lot. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, and the problem with crime in cities like DC and New York and Boston as well is the tolerance for crime is far lower because it's like a very walkable city. | ||
| So you're actually interacting with these points where crime will occur much more. | ||
| So if the crime is lower? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| So like in, like, if you live like Memphis or Detroit, the tolerance for crime is much higher because you can just drive past it on your way to work and back to your house. | ||
| You're not actually interacting with the criminal aspect as much. | ||
| But yeah, if you're somewhere like DC, you have to walk down the street, you have to take the subway, you have to do this, that and the other. | ||
| So your actual sense of crime, even though because leftists will always be like, well, if you compare it to like Jackson, Mississippi, and it's like, well, yeah, but in Jackson you don't ever see it. | ||
| You're just going to Kroger and back. | ||
| Where in DC you're walking around, you're going to bars, you're taking the train. | ||
| So you're going to interact with it a lot more, and it's much more unacceptable for a high amount of crime. | ||
| I would be remiss if I didn't bring up the fact that the Second Amendment is basically non existent in Washington, DC. | ||
| So restoration of the rights of the American people might be a deterrent to criminals in the district. | ||
| But I know that the members of Congress and the port staff around them are all, or generally, not particularly fond of that idea. | ||
| idea, but I think that's where the Ted Nugent rule comes in. | ||
| Just have the Second Amendment and don't listen to the state. | ||
| I personally agree with that too. | ||
| Yeah, I think you should just be allowed to carry a firearm to protect yourself. | ||
| That's I'm not going to say that's what I do. | ||
| No. | ||
| Maybe they took it from me before I got on the plane today. | ||
| They didn't take my wooden one. | ||
| And that's I learned that from John Melkovich in the line of fire. | ||
| You just make a wooden one. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then. | ||
| into any stadium. | ||
| All right. | ||
| These are facts. | ||
| So I feel like for the past, I don't know, 40, 50 years in our country, we have been seeing groups of quote unquote youth, which is a funny euphemism to use here. | ||
| I think we all know exact what we're talking about, but we need to use this stupid young feature. | ||
| We're talking about black teens. | ||
| We're talking about black teens running around usually in cities and committing different types of crimes. | ||
| I think we saw in Cincinnati the other weekend where there were just random adults assaulted. | ||
| Maybe they might have yelled at each other, but it resulted in multiple different assaults. | ||
| And it's interesting when we choose to pay more attention to them. | ||
| And what we're going to do about that, you know, is up to the government and we'll see. | ||
| But I feel like these are always happening in the background every so often. | ||
| And sometimes it's only a local news story. | ||
| And then sometimes the president decides to truth social about it and make it a national news story. | ||
| But like these assaults are happening throughout our country all the time. | ||
| And it's just interesting when we decide to make it national news instead of what do you think the world news? | ||
| The factor is. | ||
| What do you think it is that makes it? | ||
| You know, crime, socioeconomic factors. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| What is it that makes it make it make it become a national story? | ||
| Well, sometimes it's just so shocking you can't then. | ||
| Well, the media. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| That's who it is. | ||
| That's what decides. | ||
| Literally only the media. | ||
| And like if the races were portrayed in the right way for most of the media to decide to pick it up and like put it up the chain of command, then that's what goes. | ||
| And it's a national news story because the president decided to talk about it now. | ||
| And it's going to go as far as, you know. | ||
| For this one, yeah. | ||
| But when it comes to the one that you mentioned in Cincinnati, that was trying to be subpoena. | ||
| That was actually, it was a fairly grassroots kind of thing because the media and the municipality was trying to suppress the story. | ||
| They didn't want it to get out. | ||
| They didn't want it to get out. | ||
| Did a white guy though knock out the woman? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I believe a white guy did knock out the woman, but then black people were piling on and kicking the guy at the jail. | ||
| I think he shoved her, yeah. | ||
| Yeah, but then black people were also pulling people off of, you know, the guy. | ||
| It was a group thing where a lot of people were involved. | ||
| So depending on what site you were watching, it was white versus black, but then there was the reality of a lot of people trying to help and a lot of people were not. | ||
| Wasn't it allegedly because someone called another person the end slur? | ||
| Supposedly, but I don't even know if that's what it was. | ||
| Yeah, I've heard I've heard people make that argument, but I believe if you watch the video, the attack had initiated and then the dreaded end slur was uttered. | ||
| Not that name calling should justify violence. | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| I think that's the most ridiculous argument that people make is, oh, well, you know, they had it coming.. | ||
| Or the idea that, like, oh, well, you know, there are consequences for things you say. | ||
| I mean, sure, but jail is a consequence for that kind of thing. | ||
| You know, I get told that often. | ||
| If you're in a heated argument with someone, it's probably best not to use it at a jazz festival. | ||
| I've always said that. | ||
| If you're at a Wu Tang concert, let's say, and someone's angry at you, perhaps you don't yell that at them. | ||
| Yeah, I there will be a concert. | ||
| Yeah, I do. | ||
| And I'm not saying that you can argue that it's right or wrong and that someone's not allowed, but you will get your ass kicked for lack of a better term. | ||
| And I'm not saying that what happened to her was horrible. | ||
| What happened to that guy was horrible. | ||
| But to just go, okay., it was entirely they want that to be the division, that's my problem with it all. | ||
| They want them to go, okay, it was black versus white. | ||
| That's not the case. | ||
| It was different people going at each other and other people were helping other people. | ||
| Well, you recognize that this story probably only got so much gasoline into it because of the racial projection on the story. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But also like with, I mean, with this DC story specifically, it's like, I hate to be that guy, but if the roles were reversed, if there was like a mob of fifty white teens and they beat up a black guy, I mean, we'd be in camps right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It would be like, yeah. | |
| It just doesn't happen. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So it's like, no matter how hard I train them. | ||
| Also this was, did we mention it because it happened to an alleged Doge employee and I don't know. | ||
| It happened to Big Balls. | ||
| Big Balls. | ||
| Big Balls. | ||
| Tate, is that him? | ||
| Tell me more about this guy. | ||
| Big Balls. | ||
| That's people alleged to be. | ||
| I don't, I don't think we're going to share the picture because we don't have confirmation of who it is. | ||
| I got you. | ||
| But it's from the rapid response. | ||
| Well, I mean, it's all right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Those other people allegedly it's big balls. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He's a big player. | ||
| If you want to look, if you want, I mean, just go to X and look for the story and there's plenty of pictures and there's comparisons of who big balls, you know, what big balls looked like when he was, you know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Be careful going on X and typing in big balls, but I'm pretty sure you'll find it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Just go to Google and type in big balls. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Or lemon party. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Don't do that. | ||
| Don't do that. | ||
| Go to X hamster.? | ||
| Bloodied big balls. | ||
| Bloodied big balls. | ||
| He's bloody. | ||
| Yeah, he's Yeah, he's wounded. | ||
| So black teens rough up big balls. | ||
| Black and blue big balls. | ||
| Black teens rough up big balls. | ||
| You shouldn't google any of these things. | ||
| No, but you know, do it on your work computer. | ||
| Yeah, sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just put black big balls on your work computer. | |
| Angry, violent black people attack big balls. | ||
| Do it during a prison time. | ||
| Library tomorrow. | ||
| Full volume. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| This sounds great. | ||
| This will do wonderful things. | ||
| Love the news. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So I'm not even sure how we got to this from we're talking about, oh, we're talking about the attack. | ||
| Truth. | ||
| So we need to talk about, we're going to go ahead and change to this story from the post-millennial Texas AG Ken Paxton to ask judge to vacate seats of Dem lawmakers who fled state over redistricting vote. | ||
| Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will seek judicial orders to remove Texas state legislators who have fled the state in an attempt to block a congressional redistricting vote taking place in the state legislature. | ||
| The lawmakers have until august eighth to return to the state and to perform their duties in the legislature before Paxson requests the order. | ||
| Attorney General Ken Paxson has announced that the continued refusal to perform legislative duties by Texas House Democrats who broke quorum constitutes abandonment of office and that he will pursue a court ruling ensuring that their seats are declared vacant. | ||
| Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows has given members until Friday, august eighth to return to Texas and present themselves before the House. | ||
| Any lawmaker who has not been arrested and returned or fails to appear by the Speaker's deadline will be subject to aggressive legal action by Attorney General Paxton, a news release from Paxton's office says. | ||
| So I've learned that apparently this is actually felony. | ||
| So these are these are felony. | ||
| They could face felony charges for for vacating and preventing the continuation of official business. | ||
| Is that true? | ||
| I read that there was just a fine. | ||
| I've got a fine. | ||
| So they could end up in a 500 day with some teens. | ||
| Hopefully not. | ||
| I don't suspect that's what's going to happen, but I think the crux of the issue here is whether or not gerrymandering is kosher. | ||
| Dave, gerrymandering cool or not? | ||
| It's the norm since the fourth president of the United States. | ||
| I'm going to say that they should, yeah, I think they should have to come back and face it. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, they should have to come back and actually do their job. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| The question as to whether or not, you know, gerrymandering is acceptable, this is just the state of affairs today and it's been that way since James Madison. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| His vice president was vice president Jerry. | ||
| And the name gerrymandering comes from that. | ||
| So whether or not it's okay, I don't know. | ||
| I think that's kind of. | ||
| It doesn't even matter. | ||
| No, it does matter. | ||
| And I'll tell you why. | ||
| It's because not all the states are fully gerrymandering. | ||
| And Democrats have actually put different guardrails in place to not allow them to gerrymander certain states. | ||
| So Tate, I know you're from New York, but you may not know much about the politics there. | ||
| But in New York, right? | ||
| The Democrats did want to gerrymander, but their maps got throwed out by the courts there because they had certain laws that didn't allow them to gerrymander to the nth degree. | ||
| Eventually gerrymandering is bad for a country. | ||
| Like the way to the big brain solution here is obviously having somebody non biased and impartial on top kind of ruling top down, trying to make as many fair districts and rub the least amount of people the wrong way. | ||
| But I don't know if we just see this, both sides are just going to to try to gerrymandering their districts more and more aggressively. | ||
| Both sides are obviously guilty of this, so I don't really know where that's going to leave us. | ||
| The Democrats here are just trying their best to prevent it. | ||
| If this is a band-aid solution for them, these Texas Democrats are not going to be able to actually prevent the Republicans from gerrymandering Texas. | ||
| It's only a matter of time. | ||
| Even with these commissions like you're talking about, are like in California, they can just special election around it if they really want to. | ||
| So it's like, okay, it's nice that it's put in place, but if push really came to shove, New York, California, they'll just circumvent it. | ||
| And on a special election, if you were to say, okay, gerrymandering is illegal, what's the solution? | ||
| How do you break up the districts now then. | ||
| There are different people with different theories on how to do this without having swiggy lines that go in circles. | ||
| Like, I don't think that's the problem. | ||
| I think it's the political will to do so, which neither side is going to see. | ||
| And like, it's escalating, right? | ||
| One side's doing it, then the other side's going to want to do it more. | ||
| And then they're going to both point fingers at. | ||
| Well, part of the reason that the Democrats are having such a problem with this is because the Democrats have kind of like squeezed all the juice, right? | ||
| Like there's not a whole lot more they can do. | ||
| There's juice in there. | ||
| There are multiple. | ||
| Yes, there is. | ||
| How many, how many Jews? | ||
| A ton. | ||
| How many second largest Jews by unpopulation? | ||
| We're not talking about Jews. | ||
| We're talking about outside of Israel. | ||
| Oh. | ||
| We're talking about they've gotten all of the made all the gerrymandering they can they can do. | ||
| It's not going to go. | ||
| I thought they squeeze. | ||
| There's a lot of Jews there though. | ||
| There's a lot of there's nothing wrong with that. | ||
| Squeezing more. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I love Jews. | ||
| So like some, a state like, you know, Massachusetts. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| There's something like 45, 40 percent of the state is conservative and there's zero representatives. | ||
| There's zero representation for the conservatives. | ||
| And that, that's a situation in the same, the same situation in Illinois. | ||
| There's like, you know, 40 percent of the state is Republican and there's no representation at all. | ||
| It's 14 to 3 and it's a six point spread in Illinois. | ||
| But if you have each state, it's insane. | ||
| If Blue or Red takes legal action on each one, wouldn't that just affect the other state to want to do it more? | ||
| But that might escalate. | ||
| I think that's the problem. | ||
| That was the point that I was making. | ||
| The reason the Democrats have a problem is because there's not much more they can do. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They don't have the ability to actually gerrymandering and get more representation out of most states. | ||
| There's nothing left they can do. | ||
| They've really maximized the gerrymandering that's possible. | ||
| So the reason that they have such a problem with this is because they don't have the ability to just fight back and say, well, gerrymandering and et cetera. | ||
| There's talk of it in New York. | ||
| There's talk of it in California, but there isn't much that is actually possible for them to do. | ||
| They can do a little bit around the edges, but they're not going to get the same kind of effects that the Republicans could get because the Democrats have been so successful at gerrymandering nationwide. | ||
| So it's like, sure, there are places where they can get some, but the Republicans actually stand to benefit the most by doing things like redistricting halfway through the time limit they normally do it because it's normally done after every census. | ||
| So it's normally done every, every ten years. | ||
| This is halfway through. | ||
| There is an argument. | ||
| that it's a good thing to do because of all the demographic changes, because of one, all the illegal immigrants that have come in, but also because of all the people that have moved from California to other states, to Texas, to Florida and stuff. | ||
| So Texas is doing it, a big part of the reason is because of the illegal immigration and because of the. | ||
| In Texas? | ||
| Yes, it's been known to happen. | ||
| We do, right? | ||
| I lived there, I haven't seen it, but go on. | ||
| Okay, but yeah, so that's the argument that they're making is, you know, this is why it's a legitimate Sure, no, I get it. | ||
| effort. | ||
| And the way they gerrymandered the new seats in Texas was such that all the districts were now roughly a Trump 60, a district where Trump won 60 percent of the vote. | ||
| So like some the congress people would usually disagree with gerrymandering because they don't want their districts fudged with where they run and they don't want to be diluted. | ||
| But that's how they kind of appeased the Texas Republicans. | ||
| I suspect Democrats will do something, call me a genius. | ||
| I don't know, but I suspect Democrats down the line will try to do something similar to this that Republicans may not like. | ||
| But this is power politics. | ||
| And I think we're seeing more quote unquote norms being broken. | ||
| Trump's big norm breakeraker. | ||
| There are other political power plays that people could do like packing the Supreme Court, Trump doesn't need to. | ||
| The Democrats had a few other plays like this, gerrymandering is another example, but we're going to see more norms being broken. | ||
| Where that takes us, we'll see. | ||
| I mean, I agree with you. | ||
| I think that there's not a lot of there's not a lot of room for dumps to go legally, but that's the problem is how hard we want them to push back eventually. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| That's a very good it's a very You're going to say, oh, Trump changed the districts ahead of the census, and that's how he, well, he's doing this to defend his majority too. | ||
| He doesn't want to be in the minority for the second half of his presidential term. | ||
| He would definitely be impeached because who cares, who cares something. | ||
| And then all the investigations he's doing now would get investigated. | ||
| So, you know, that would be his biggest nightmare. | ||
| So he's really trying to just guarantee this majority. | ||
| Trump's been, it seems, unsecure about his majority almost the entire time he was president. | ||
| Especially recently. | ||
| Yeah, there was Elise Stefanik, who he initially wanted to elevate UN ambassador, but he was like, no, stay in your seat. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He wanted Mike Lawler to stay in his seat and not try to run for governor. | ||
| So there's a few examples of this. | ||
| I think there's a very slim majority. | ||
| I think it's two or three seats, something like that. | ||
| So something to keep your eye on in case, because Trump is clearly worried about this as well. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, I think that's legitimate because if, like you said, if the Democrats take the House, there will be impeachment, there will be Oh, of course. | ||
| Nothing's going to happen. | ||
| It will just be, you know, doing everything they can to stymy any kind of progress for the American people. | ||
| Well, and I think that's the benefit, not even going back to the Epstein thing, but of doing that stuff, because there has to be something that switches that because that's kind of their ticket into an impeachment. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, look, I'm a naked partyist, so like anything that they can do to throw sand into the gears of whatever the Democrats are going to try, I'm for. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Because if they don't, then the Democrats are going to do whatever they can to throw not just, you know, not only impeach Donald Trump, even though I don't imagine that he'll get removed from office because I don't think they'll take the Senate, but they'll try and they would try to take him out of office and then should they get the presidency again, | ||
| I imagine all of the bureaucracies will get filled up with Democrats sycophants again and they'll they'll come after people in the, you know, in the right-wing podcast sphere. | ||
| They'll go after people like Joe Rogan. | ||
| They'll go after people like Tim Poole. | ||
| They'll go after people that have Benny Johnson and anyone that they consider a political enemy. | ||
| They will absolutely target and go after because that was the plan if Kamala Harris would have won. | ||
| Well, just like before. | ||
| It's why they're saying that Stephen Colbert is the enemy or like supposedly people are the enemy of him when that's really not the truth. | ||
| No. | ||
| Stephen Colbert, you know, his viewership is why he lost his job. | ||
| And his viewership was a result of, I think, CBS pushing him to do something. | ||
| I mean, it is his own. | ||
| I mean, you have to blame somebody for what it is. | ||
| But CBS, I do also blame because they're the ones that pushed all that crap on him. | ||
| And then they're the ones that are going like, oh, your numbers are down. | ||
| It's like, well, you kind of forced it. | ||
| Yeah, and your whole company did this, but they all did that woke stuff. | ||
| Yeah, I don't think you're wrong, but again, just like you said at the end, it wasn't just Colbert, it was all of them. | ||
| And also Disney blaming the Snow White Girl for being Latina. | ||
| Like, why are you Latina? | ||
| Because you did it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's you guys that did it, not her. | ||
| The only thing that I would add to that is they did it at a time when people were moving away from cable TV anyway. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So it just sped up what was already happening. | ||
| Oh, sure. | ||
| Okay, so let's jump to this story. | ||
| This is breaking news from, I guess, from Fox News, from the Ingram angle. | ||
| We'll go ahead and we'll play the bill. | ||
| Glenn is his primary resident. | ||
| Easy there. | ||
| Ready to go? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| In an Ingram Angle exclusive, a Trump administration source telling The Angle that a criminal investigation of Adam Schiff is underway conducted by U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland for possible charges involving mortgage fraud. | ||
| Now, this follows the story we broke last month when the Federal Housing Finance Agency sent a criminal referral to the DOJ alleging that Schiff in multiple instances falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms. | ||
| And a 2011 affidavitits signed by the then California congressman. | ||
| He certified that a property in Montgomery County, Maryland is his primary residence. | ||
| He also owns a condo in Burbank, California, which he's also claimed is his primary residence. | ||
| He always looks like he's swallowing at a glory hole, doesn't he? | ||
| Like he just finished it. | ||
| So this is essentially the same thing that they accused Donald Trump of, right? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, they said that he committed mortgage fraud, which even though in Donald Trump's case, like the banks were like, nah, this is good. | ||
| Like we made money. | ||
| This was fine. | ||
| But the, oh no, actually no, this is this is different because Donald Trump was accused of lying about the value of the of his apartment. | ||
| Of the apartment? | ||
| Mario Largo? | ||
| Mario Largo. | ||
| He has an apartment in New York as well. | ||
| Am I wrong about that? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| So I don't know. | ||
| I'd have to look into that. | ||
| But this is the same thing that Leticia James has done. | ||
| I don't know or whatever. | ||
| She has, she has claimed that she was a resident of one place and, you know, for tax reasons or whatever. | ||
| Now Schiff was claiming that he was a resident of California while he was spending all his time in Maryland. | ||
| And now his argument is, well, you know, I work in DC, so I have to do this. | ||
| But if you work in DC, I'm not sure the mortgage, how it makes a mortgage, how it makes mortgage fraud. | ||
| Well, if he so he works in DC and lives somewhere else? | ||
| Well, you have to live in California to be a to be a senator from California. | ||
| You actually have to reside there. | ||
| So you have to spend, you know, X amount of time there. | ||
| Well, that's what happened to Letitia James, because she had a house in Virginia and she made it her primary residence. | ||
| But she's AG of New York. | ||
| It's kind of a problem. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so you have to have your primary residenceidence has to be in California. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because of because he But you could have an office right off in DC. | ||
| Yes, but I'm not sure. | ||
| I'm not sure the exact details of this particular issue. | ||
| Look, I'm no Shif fan, but doesn't this seem like a little flimsy? | ||
| Like, can we get the real goods on this guy, like, for participation in the Russian collusion hoax for years? | ||
| But no, we get him on what? | ||
| Mortgage fraud. | ||
| I just suspect this isn't going anywhere. | ||
| I feel like we're Yeah. | ||
| And this just feels like some red meat. | ||
| Like, this isn't going anywhere. | ||
| Mortgage fraud, really? | ||
| Give me the juice. | ||
| Give me something meaningful. | ||
| Give me, but no, we're getting, oh, some mortgage fraud. | ||
| What do you think the consequences even if they convict him, which I doubt they will, what are the real consequences of this going to be? | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| I think this was just a juicy story to be leaked to Laura Ingram from somebody in the administration doing somebody favors. | ||
| And it almost seems like they're trying too hard to go after him and they don't, they don't have the goods. | ||
| Go after him and get the goods. | ||
| But no, you're coming to me with mortgage fraud. | ||
| What about all the Russian, what Russia hoax BS that he was spitting for years that helped contribute to the Steel Dossier that eventually helped wrap Trump up in this crazy media narrative. | ||
| But no, mortgage fraud. | ||
| So it's like, I'm not a lawyer. | ||
| I'm not a judge. | ||
| Okay, so I worked in law, but I don't suspect this is going to go so far. | ||
| So the argument sent from Fox News, Senator Adam Schiff is under criminal investigation for mortgage fraud. | ||
| A Trump administration told source told Fox News, Fox News host Laura Ingram broke the news on Tuesday night on the Ingram Angle saying that the source said a criminal investigation is being conducted by the US Attorney's Office in Maryland on possible charges involving mortgage fraud. | ||
| The investigation comes a month after a story broke about the Federal Housing Finance Agency sending a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. | ||
| justice alleging that Schiff in multiple instances falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms. | ||
| In a 2011 affidavit signed by then California congressman Schiff certified that a property in Montgomery, California, Maine, Maryland is his primary residence. | ||
| Schiff also owns a condominium in Burbank, California, which he has also claimed as his primary residence as recently as twenty twenty three during his campaign for Senate. | ||
| Schiff's office did not immediately respond to Vox News' request for comment. | ||
| So and also a bar in the meat packing district called the Blue Oyster. | ||
| Every Saturday he does his job as a urinal. | ||
| I think as far as mortgages go. | ||
| How many people know what the Blue Oyster Bar is? | ||
| Police Academy. | ||
| Police Academy, yeah. | ||
| I think as far as mortgages go and the wonderful job that they've always done with the housing at three times what it's worth and the twelve percent interest rates, does it matter? | ||
| I mean, is this really what the American people should be concerned about when you look at the way that we've been screwed so many times? | ||
| I mean, look, I'm a naked party. | ||
| Anything we put this guy in, anything giving problems, I'm down with. | ||
| I am too. | ||
| I get giving them problems about this. | ||
| The problem is, it's just what Zillow would seem at this point. | ||
| It's not like, I think you have to get something that sticks. | ||
| And I just don't see this as something that sticks because it's it's a write off that you could then go at any conservative for. | ||
| I believe. | ||
| Well, if he's if he's it depends. | ||
| If he's claiming that he if he's claimed that it was his primary residence in Maryland, then he's not eligible, eligible to be a senator from California. | ||
| I get that. | ||
| I'm worried about the domino. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, I don't know. | ||
| It's possible that there are other people that have done this. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But unless there's evidence of other people doing this, I personally am not worried about, oh, what could happen to other people. | ||
| Again, he's made claims that he's not like | ||
| it's a partisan attack against him. | ||
| I mean, you could anything. | ||
| That's what I think. | ||
| Anything is going to be considered a partisan attack though. | ||
| Anything. | ||
| Not anything. | ||
| And if they had the goods then. | ||
| No, I totally disagree with you. | ||
| When it comes to partisans, which I am, like, partisans are going to say, no, whatever he did is fine because he's on our team. | ||
| That's just the way that politics works now. | ||
| I agree with that, but I do agree that this is kind of a Nothing Burger mortgage. | ||
| You're not going to depose anyone from a Senate seat over this. | ||
| You need something meaty. | ||
| I would love to see it. | ||
| It would be great. | ||
| Or catch him with something meaty. | ||
| I mean, like think what George Santos got tried with. | ||
| And I just said an office. | ||
| But that's not meaty. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No, Santos isn't in. | ||
| Santos is in jail right now. | ||
| Now, but he was in office for a while. | ||
| The Republicans themselves kept him out. | ||
| Yeah, and it took a while. | ||
| And now a couple of them are asking them to, Trump, pardon him. | ||
| Well, just give me time. | ||
| Just MTV, I think they should pardon him. | ||
| Are we free George guys? | ||
| I'm a free George. | ||
| I'm a free George. | ||
| No, people. | ||
| They should never have been with the Syrian Brotherhood. | ||
| They should never have taken him out of office. | ||
| What happened? | ||
| That's not happening. | ||
| Oh, you bet it is. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| A little cream pie from the Nation of Muslims. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Sorry, the Islam. | ||
| Islam. | ||
| He's not. | ||
| He's too glam to go in jail. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| The fact that he's not is why they don't mind. | ||
| Again, they don't eat pork. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| Oh, man. | ||
| I just can't with these people. | ||
| I mean, I don't blame you at all. | ||
| Adam Schiff is a very limber fella here. | ||
| I mean, maybe. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You look at him. | ||
| I do like how he effectively bullied, like when Kamala ran for president, they put a block. | ||
| woman, like a lesbian black woman, in that Senate seat, and then Shift just like bullied her out of that game. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| He was already running. | ||
| He's like, sorry. | ||
| He's just checked all the boxes. | ||
| He's like the grown Campbell Soup kid. | ||
| The goofy looking person. | ||
| I just I kinda like him there because he's so non threatening. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like there's no way anyone takes him seriously. | ||
| Well, I mean, I I agree with your estimate of him as a person, but he does get to vote. | ||
| He's going to vote with the Representatives. | ||
| It's crazy. | ||
| He's going to vote with the Democrats, you know? | ||
| He's a power player, I think. | ||
| Like he worked his way up through the House to the Senate right now. | ||
| And it was low. | ||
| It was all because he was all's anti Trump and the Russia collusion stuff that he put out, like people, Democrats in California would argue like, yeah, he took down Trump, man, this shift guy with the Russia spin. | ||
| So that's what they'd give him credit for. | ||
| And hey, you know, so I don't think he's going to get kicked out of the Senate for the moment. | ||
| I don't think Democrats are going to give a crap either. | ||
| I don't think that I don't think that there's a high chance of it, but I do think that it's good that they're going to, you know, put the screws to him. | ||
| There's nothing wrong with, yeah, I mean, I'd love to, like, get these guys for parking tickets every day. | ||
| Yeah, like, so, I mean, again, if you're, if you're like, oh, we're not going to get results, so they shouldn't, they shouldn't, you know, they shouldn't put the screws to him. | ||
| That's in your best meter. | ||
| made at that man. | ||
| No, I follow him. | ||
| It's like you're not wrong at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, that's the thing is you're both accurate in this. | ||
| It's just, I, I, yeah, I just think it won't stick. | ||
| No, I, I tend to agree with that. | ||
| They're not going to be able to make anything stick. | ||
| I don't think, but I do think that they should do everything they can to make his life difficult. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because he did that to Republicans for, you know, for however long he's been in or however long he was in the House in Congress, you know, he was doing that and he's going to continue doing that. | ||
| So make him, make him the process. | ||
| The process can be the punishment. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And again, all of the stuff that Ilad mentioned about the Rush Gate stuff, there's still ongoing investigations for that. | ||
| So if there's any way they can put the screws to him for that as well, I'm all for it. | ||
| So, like I said, I'm a naked partisan, so anything they can do to make his life more difficult, I'm going to be supportive. | ||
| So, we're going to move on to, let's see, to this story. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| The Jim Acosta interviews an AI version of a teenager killed in the Parkland shooting. | ||
| It's actually disgusting. | ||
| Was this a real kid that was Yeah, that's real fake kid. | ||
| Real fake kid? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Is he okay? | ||
| Hey? | ||
| Nice dad. | ||
| Real fake kid. | ||
| That they reanimated to life with, like, low quality AI. | ||
| That's why I hate AI. | ||
| I'm always telling people this technology is the worst. | ||
| I hate it too. | ||
| Yeah, total garbage, and now what are we doing it for? | ||
| It's like, yeah guys, we're living in the future. | ||
| Now we could have videos of dead people like having their mouths move and like having them regurgitate my political beliefs back to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| It's like he's interviewing himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Do you know anyway? | ||
| Do you know if a kid felt this way? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| He's been dead a long time. | ||
| Well, he was killed by game violence, so he asked to be. | ||
| Let's get into it. | ||
| That's enough to agree with me. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Let's get into this here. | ||
| Variety reports Jim Acosta, the former CNN chief White House correspondent who now hosts an independent show on YouTube, has published an interview with an AI generated avatar of Joaquin Oliver, who died at 17 years old in the Parkland School shooting in 2018. | ||
| The interactive AI was created by Oliver's parents who granted Acosta the first interview with the recreated version of their son on what would have been his 25th birthday. | ||
| Oliver was one of the 17 people killed in the mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneham Douglas High School. | ||
| Acosta asked Oliver about his solution for gun violence, to which the Avatar responded, I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support and community engagement. | ||
| We need to create a safe space for conversations and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard. | ||
| It's about building a culture of kindness and understanding. | ||
| It is incredibly creepy. | ||
| Do we have the actual video of them? | ||
| I hope not. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, we was on Twitter and we should see we should show it. | ||
| It was like low quality. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| Oh, this is actually Acosta. | ||
| You're going to have to click through. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Welcome to the gym Acosta. | ||
| Oh, it's right in the beginning here. | ||
| But it is another date. | ||
| I've known him for several years now. | ||
| I consider him to be a good friend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, of course, I took him up on the opportunity so we can create a safer future for everyone. | |
| What would you like to know more about? | ||
| Joaquin, I would like to know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right, if you want to share anything or have questions, I'm all ears. | |
| Just let me know. | ||
| Joaquin, it's Jim Acosta. | ||
| I was wondering if you could tell me what happened to you. | ||
| I appreciate your curiosity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just taken it on this video too soon due to violence while at school. | |
| It's important to talk about these issues so we can create a safer future for everyone. | ||
| What would you like to know more about? | ||
| Joaquin. | ||
| Like, that's literally like, would you like to know more from Starship Troopopers. | ||
| Stephen Hawking. | ||
| Dude, it was better when Brando landed in the original Superman. | ||
| I would like to know what your solution would be for gun violence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Great question. | |
| I believe in a mix of Gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement. | ||
| We need to create safe spaces for conversations and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard. | ||
| It's about so morbid and gross. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| So we see and heard, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| I think that's a great idea, Joaquin. | ||
| We definitely need more of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm so glad you think so. | |
| Is he also an AI or is that his personality? | ||
| That's Jim McGosso. | ||
| 17-year-old is not this well spoken. | ||
| Not supported. | ||
| Anything else on your mind? | ||
| It's sad to do this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
this. | |
| I would like to know more about you. | ||
| Just the prompts are so crazy. | ||
| And now he goes on to talk about sports. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm all about love, laughter, and living life to the fullest. | |
| I cherish my family and friends and always try to help you. | ||
| Stop yelling. | ||
| It's like, go my life. | ||
| AI version one. | ||
| I just can't imagine I wouldn't need it. | ||
| And it goes on like my father, I would never, I'm sorry. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| It's so sad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's disgusting. | ||
| I lost a lot of my friends when they were teenagers and I just can't imagine doing this. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| It's gross. | ||
| But like, Like really? | ||
| The kid died in 2017 is when Yeah, it's it's it looks like Rosie O'Donnell. | ||
| It's so incredibly gross. | ||
| Acosta. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Acosta, not Acosta. | |
| And you're right. | ||
| If you look at Acosta, you can see his roots are showing too. | ||
| He's got a little gray going on there. | ||
| And I was I don't blame the parents as much. | ||
| The parents are obviously going through it and they're thinking, what could I have done differently possibly to save my child? | ||
| And I'm I'm not a father. | ||
| I hope one day to be. | ||
| And I'm sure if I ever lost my child, I'd be constantly reliving that and thinking what I could have done differently. | ||
| I'm thinking what I could have done differently to change that. | ||
| But Jim Acosta, what a piece of absolute fucking garbage. | ||
| And he's really just manipulating the parents and using them to try to advance his specific politics. | ||
| And it's so gross because the right could do this too, but they choose not to. | ||
| They could have some parents who say, oh, maybe they could have used some more security guards there or had more police there or had police who actually decided to go in to the school because at the Parkland school shooting they didn't have the police actually going inside when the shooting was happening. | ||
| So just so nakedly gross to use literally dead children to try to advance your political agenda. | ||
| So digital taxidermy. | ||
| It's the horrifying thing. | ||
| Well, the two went in for Uvalde, but they were complete pussies. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, I mean, Uvalde was very sad. | ||
| Very sad. | ||
| Very sad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Especially when you saw like the body cam from like Nashville where they just ran right in right away. | ||
| Yeah, and they took, they handled their job. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So it's the same as the guy who borrowed the gun from the barber shop or what was it? | ||
| Yeah, in Uvalde. | ||
| It was military. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the overall reaction is actually non party. | ||
| Most of the time you expect people to kind of, you know, pick their side and, okay, I'll defend Acosta because I'm a politically aligned with him. | ||
| But even over on Blue Sky, the response was absolutely excoriating him. | ||
| You know, hey Jim, quick question, what the f is wrong with you? | ||
| What I want to know is what the f is wrong with the parents. | ||
| Grief makes you do crazy things, Acosta has no excuse though, and it goes on. | ||
| That's not him. | ||
| This is not his true self. | ||
| That's a computer generating answers. | ||
| Jim, you ever think about turning in, turning into MDF might be more useful career pivot. | ||
| Usually I don't comment on stuff like this, but this is beyond Fed up and gross. | ||
| You're a monster. | ||
| This is in an interview. | ||
| This is the AI version of Weekend at Bernie's. | ||
| And they did a better job in animating a dead guy. | ||
| And this is Blue Sky, right? | ||
| This is not Blue Sky turns on a lip tart, it's over. | ||
| Exactly, this is not X. I mean, X, you expect Jim Acosta to get scorried, but it goes on and on and on. | ||
| Thanks, I hate it. | ||
| This is disgusting. | ||
| There's no reason at all to do this. | ||
| This is journalistic malpractice. | ||
| We're also looking at people who consider themselves artists and they don't want AI to begin with. | ||
| And now you're losing, you're using it in the most egregious, disgusting way imaginable. | ||
| It is the most egregious. | ||
| And these are the right and left. | ||
| can come together and go, that's wrong on every level. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And like you said, I don't blame the parents. | ||
| Grief is a horrible thing, but that's the worst thing you can do with it, I would say. | ||
| I think that's pretty accurate. | ||
| Especially when you're interviewing yourself and then you're going, but it's a dead kid too. | ||
| It's, I mean, I don't think that there's, there's, I don't think anyone actually had a positive review of this or positive response to this. | ||
| I don't know how Jim Acosta thought this was a good idea. | ||
| I mean, he said himself, but he was, you know, here he is advertising a show you don't want to miss at 4 p.m. | ||
| I've seen a very kind interview with Joaquin Oliver. | ||
| He died in the Parkland School shooting in 2018, but his parents have created an AI version of their son to deliver a powerful message on gun violence. | ||
| Then where was the actual powerful message on gun violence? | ||
| Because that was the most boilerplate, you know, boring, agitated. | ||
| Exactly, it's the most garbage kind of thing that you could possibly imagine. | ||
| Well, I love the mental health thing. | ||
| Where it's the, it's like we do have a massive mental health problem in this country. | ||
| We also have a dopamine problem. | ||
| We're addicted to our phones. | ||
| We have companies that want us addicted to our phones, so people stop feeling anything. | ||
| And that there's so many things you can get into. | ||
| An AI robot is the last thing you want to have told you that. | ||
| And also, I love during COVID, you had a bunch of books behind you every time someone was doing an interview. | ||
| And in this, it's just his books. | ||
| I don't know, I just noticed that. | ||
| Nothing says narcissism. | ||
| They can't sell any of them, they have to put them back. | ||
| No, either, like, he's like, I think I just had a lot of returns today. | ||
| I think too, if you just asked ChatGPT the questions Acosta asked, you'd get something totally different. | ||
| So they had to have coded this, like, give me the most run of the mill, lib answers. | ||
| Like, that's what they coded this person to be reanimated as. | ||
| So this guy was killed horrifically and reanimated literally as a lib. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, it's an empty shell as a symbol of liberal light. | ||
| Yeah, I just can't imagine that's a problem. | ||
| I can't imagine that they had a dataset that could accurately, you know, be used as an AI to reflect what this kid was like. | ||
| No, and they couldn't have had actually a bunch of data that went together from all the shootings where it was like, well, you know, I think SSRIs are a problem, so you don't want to get a sweet at the Mandalay Bay. | ||
| He would have just stopped it. | ||
| So it's not like there was a bunch of stuff they were covering to have a real answer. | ||
| Like you said, it's just boilerplate run of the mill. | ||
| It's irresponsible. | ||
| Yeah, I do think that it is irresponsible and I think he's getting the result that he deserves, the criticism that he deserves. | ||
| I don't see how he does, yeah. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Maybe, you know, we don't have a lot of answers from the Las Vegas shooting. | ||
| Maybe we could try to reanimate Steven Paddock. | ||
| Steven Paddock. | ||
| Steven Paddock and have an interview with him. | ||
| What answers we get out of him. | ||
| Yeah, it'd be funny if he just, it's like, I don't know. | ||
| I didn't like the hotel. | ||
| I lost a lot of money. | ||
| I think isn't that the current line? | ||
| Like, I lost a lot of money playing with my Asian wife who was using me. | ||
| I wouldn't swap my towels. | ||
| I honestly think that the FBI wouldn't allow that personally. | ||
| Probably wouldn't. | ||
| I don't think the FBI is going to allow that at all. | ||
| It would just be, yeah, like, why did you, why did you bring them in though at checking in? | ||
| I don't know, you know, I had a feeling it wouldn't go well. | ||
| I lost every time. | ||
| They just keep letting me back in, so someone had to pay for it. | ||
| You'd be surprised, but I, you only packed one shirt. | ||
| You had six suitcases of weapons. | ||
| You had so many guns up there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, even if I was in line, I'd be like, excuse me, there's a lot of gun bags. | ||
| I'm going to those guitar? | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| I have plans. | ||
| The rate of fire doesn't add up. | ||
| I've got the highest floor. | ||
| I mean, it's very sad. | ||
| But if I don't make light of it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But it's just, it's absurd. | ||
| How long ago did it happen? | ||
| I mean, twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen? | ||
| A while ago. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I mean, not that long ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, it's over five years, so I think it's safe to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, it was pretty COVID. | ||
| It was, yeah. | ||
| Even Parkland, though, was, I think, seven or eight years ago at this point. | ||
| Parkland was swinging. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It was enough to make David Hogg famous, and now people are like, Okay, enough. | ||
| I mean, did you see that he became the first became the most famous one because there was like a whole crew of them. | ||
| I remember there was like an Emmachik and then there was the right wing version with Kyle Kashev. | ||
| Kyle Kashev. | ||
| Kashev. | ||
| Yeah, and he was the one that was like not even there, right? | ||
| Hogg? | ||
| Hogg was there. | ||
| Yeah, wasn't he like down the street? | ||
| Hogg was Hogg was at school when it happened. | ||
| He left and then he went back to do a little dancing on graves. | ||
| Oh, once the coast was clear. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He's like, now that it's safe, I'm gonna pretend I was part of this. | ||
| Yeah, he was in another part of the school. | ||
| He wasn't actually, he wasn't, he wasn't actually in danger from the actual shooting. | ||
| He left, went home, and then went back and started giving interviews and was like, hey, here's my chance to be a Democrat apparatchuk. | ||
| Can you imagine what a scumbag would run up to a news camera and just start making it about himself? | ||
| When he was, look, he was 17, so part of me is like, Okay, he's young and dumb. | ||
| But then he turned that into, you know, Harvard with poor grades and going on to be in the DNC after that and basically failing at everything that he tried to do. | ||
| Wearing skinny suits. | ||
| Did he wear skinny suits? | ||
| Because he liked threatening her like primary one guy and they're like, get him out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| He I mean, you got some good ideas. | ||
| If you listen to James Carwell, he was like, this kid's an idiot. | ||
| Yeah, that's hilarious. | ||
| They were primary, he wanted to primary safe Democrat seats because they weren't progressive enough, but it's like, look, man. | ||
| They're just kicking the can down the road. | ||
| You're not helping anybody by primarying each other. | ||
| It's their future, whether they like it or not. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, we'll see. | ||
| I mean, I don't know that he's that he's extreme enough when it comes to the politics. | ||
| I think they're earning on him. | ||
| Yeah, I think. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Huge straight white. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| There's no. | ||
| There's no. | ||
| He's not in the hierarchy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I mean, just coming it up with Zoran. | ||
| I saw that. | ||
| Oh, yeah? | ||
| Was he? | ||
| Yeah, they're boys. | ||
| Well, I mean, again, I think that Hogg is the. | ||
| most self serving of the Democrats that I know of. | ||
| I don't think that any of it is motivated by actual political beliefs other than, well, you know, I'm supposed to be a Democrat or I am a Democrat. | ||
| That's how I identify. | ||
| So I'm going to just be a Democrat. | ||
| I don't think there's anything other than self serving attempts to Well, he has the weird combination of being self serving and having a chip on his shoulder. | ||
| And that's always a really deadly combo. | ||
| We called him bomb threats not to go to school. | ||
| And then Columbine happened and all that jazz roll. | ||
| That wasn't it. | ||
| Yeah, that did, that did put a damper on the thing. | ||
| Didn't it? | ||
| It used to be like, it was funny though when we would, we'd be like, is that a dog going to school in a robot? | ||
| And you're like, maybe we shouldn't do this anymore. | ||
| There weren't robots back in the 90s. | ||
| There were like little bomb ones, yeah. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I thought that was I thought that those didn't really become a thing. | ||
| Yeah, like little remote ones. | ||
| I mean, I don't know if they did anything. | ||
| There wasn't a bomb. | ||
| Looking. | ||
| Somebody who I won't say who did it from a payphone in Detroit for outside a bar anyway. | ||
| Well, you never can tell with Detroit, right? | ||
| The schools were crazy. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, they had these things called metal detectors. | ||
| And then they had people that worked security in a lot of the schools. | ||
| Really in the late 90s, huh? | ||
| Yeah, through the 80s and 90s. | ||
| Even where my son goes to school, there was an, yeah, there was the opportunity to have armed, armed off duty Detroit police officers, retired police officers. | ||
| And the whole school was like, yeah, good, yeah, we'll do that. | ||
| Just taking a quick vote. | ||
| I mean, I think everybody wants to protect their children, no matter which side you're on when it comes down to it. | ||
| But doesn't that make sense? | ||
| I mean, at least particularly nowadays with the advent of the detector. | ||
| the advent of school shooting since Columbine. | ||
| It really has, it's crazy because that one was out of nowhere. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And then, I mean, there had been a few before, but it was in the 70s. | ||
| You know, there had been gang violence, but that was a very rare one. | ||
| And they wanted to blame Manson and Goth kids, but it turned out that it was actually two fairly popular kids, one extremely intelligent and one kind of a follower. | ||
| And after that, I mean, the way that it is now is just alarming. | ||
| So there is a problem, but we have to identify what it actually is. | ||
| And what is it? | ||
| I think that it's the fact that there are very few fathers and kids being raised by single mothers and SSRIs and I think it is a lot in the treatment. | ||
| I think there is a lot of yeah, I think there is a lot of that. | ||
| There's a lot of pressure. | ||
| There's a lot of I think the internet is a huge problem to it because you're not being judged by a group of friends. | ||
| You're being judged by Earth. | ||
| The whole world. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I think there's a lot of problems with psyche as a result with that. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, well, the, the, No, it's something most adults aren't prepared for most of us. | ||
| I don't have the data in front of me. | ||
| I believe school shootings to be going down. | ||
| I think one of the core issues here is the social contagion aspect of it. | ||
| So the Columbine stuff really blew up and there were a lot of copycat people as a result of many things, but due in part to them getting the idea from the Columbine shooting. | ||
| Yes, almost instantly. | ||
| Like copycat, a ton of copycat killers, which was really messed up. | ||
| When I was younger, I remember they, I forgot the name of the program. | ||
| They brought us all into this room, like an auditorium or something, and they all like were really, gave us an extremely dramatic telling of the story and how it could have been us. | ||
| And they tried to get half the kids to cry and everyone was all, all sobbing. | ||
| about this and they really got this story out there aggressively and it might have died down a bit now. | ||
| But even still, when you're seeing these school shootings, it could encourage others to do these copycat type attacks, especially because humans are so stupid and we're such followers of real. | ||
| Now it's a big problem. | ||
| Like in the 2010s where they would like a school shooting to happen and then they would have like a scoreboard and would like show the record shooting. | ||
| I was like, of course that was going to lead to these like psychos. | ||
| And also nowadays what is it so what is it actually? | ||
| Yeah, it was like a thing. | ||
| It would be like who killed the most. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's and like the deadliest since then. | ||
| Yeah, the Call of Duty. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The guys were losing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And what what is considered a, you know, a mass shooting nowadays has been really the waters have been muddyed so much because now they're talking about anyone that's shot like any shooting that happens where there's more than two people that are shot, right? | ||
| And when you say a mass shooting, it brings to mind someone going, well, I mean, so a lot of people that have lost their lives and it brings to mind someone that goes with the intent to kill multiple people and starts shooting and continues shooting and killing people until they're stopped. | ||
| So you think of a large death toll nowadays. | ||
| Anything that happens, any event with a gun on a school, they call that a school shooting so if a gun goes off and someone gets shot they call it a school shooting not an accident it's a school shooting anytime there's more than two people that are shot in one event they call it a mass shooting which again if you're walking down the street and there's a you know someone decides that they're going to try and rob someone and they shoot the person they're trying to rob and two people get hit in the in the | ||
| crossfire they call that a mass shooting but the the contexts are very different so when you're thinking of a mass shooting and it brings to mind these these horrible you know events where multiple people are shot and killed or someone is, you know, mugged and someone shoots them and two other people end up getting hit. | ||
| Those are two very different types of crime and two different types of criminals perform those crimes, you know. | ||
| Well, it's a scare tactic. | ||
| Yeah, you know, that's the point. | ||
| They muddy the water so that way they can they can essentially farm clicks, I imagine. | ||
| But that's the main reason for anything now. | ||
| And like you guys said when it first happened, I mean, the immediate response, remember, was lockdown. | ||
| And they said, if there's a shooter, we're going to pull the fire alarm and we're going to barricade the door and everybody gets under a desk. | ||
| So essentially you're sitting ducks.. | ||
| And, you know, it's like, well, first of all, what if it's a fire and we don't hear the shots, so now we're just sitting in a classroom under desks? | ||
| But the way that they responded, they had no idea what to do with it. | ||
| And now it's like you said, if somebody, a lot of times someone will bring a gun to school an accident, they will do it to be cool, something will go off, and now it hits all these stats, and it's not necessarily real. | ||
| So we don't really know how to, they're not all individual, they're all just lumped into one thing to kind of scare every single parent. | ||
| I think there is something so horribly fascinating about this social contagion idea and how bad ideas could spread. | ||
| from one person to another for some of the most horrible things And how talking about these things more can help encourage them in people. | ||
| So like school shootings aren't the only example. | ||
| Offing yourself is another example. | ||
| When when it's covered more in the news, it's a crazy phenomenon that it increases suicide rates. | ||
| And another thing is like the trans issue. | ||
| The more attention that the trans issue is given, the more trans people we see start popping up due to this social contagion theory. | ||
| So I think it's crazy how impressionable people are. | ||
| And I think it's something that we need to be hyper aware of. | ||
| And then it's an interesting thing in how we in the media should behave knowing those things. | ||
| Should I not cover people offing themselves?ves as much because I know it could help spur other people doing that. | ||
| Should I not cover school shootings the same way because I know it could lead to others? | ||
| Should I not name shooters or this or that? | ||
| So just something to be aware of as people, I think we're super impressionable. | ||
| Yeah, I think the idea, okay, you name the shooter because that's what they want. | ||
| I don't know if that's true, right? | ||
| That's just something we say. | ||
| I think going, okay, well, suicides are up against men. | ||
| Do you be honest and say it's gambling? | ||
| Do you be honest and say it's these certain things of huge loss to people is what causes it? | ||
| Or do you kind of keep hiding that too? | ||
| We kind of just put all that stuff out there. | ||
| The trans issue, I think, has also proven to be real. | ||
| where the more and more we talk about it and make a problem, the more and more people want to identify it for attention. | ||
| So it's hard to say what is what, but we do kind of talk about it, then we put these blanket things over, like we can't talk about the shoot. | ||
| That's not preventing anything. | ||
| So, and also we do that thing, like you said, calling certain people teens, then naming certain people on the other side because we can talk about that person. | ||
| We muddy it all up so we're never getting clear actual statistics of what's going on. | ||
| People are such hardasses about the naming now. | ||
| It's like, oh, you support this guy? | ||
| Is that why you're naming him? | ||
| You're trying to make him famous or something? | ||
| It's like, bro, I don't think this is going to change anything at this point. | ||
| No, and it's not going to satisfy him. | ||
| But it did get out of control for a while where like a shooter would happen and then you get like a full, like, Netflix documentary on a movie. | ||
| Or like timefront page of I think it was the Boston Marathon. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Summer where it's like we're fetishizing these guys. | ||
| That was the Rolling Stone cover. | ||
| We had a show about it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| It's like if you had nothing to lose and you're just like, this is it. | ||
| It's like, well, you can get a Netflix documentary out of it. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| If you're going to be on the same cover as Kurt Cobain, that's certainly incentive. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But in a messed up way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's, uh, I think it makes sense to do what you can to minimize the shooter or the people that are carrying out these violent acts. | ||
| If it makes sense to actually name them or if it makes sense to talk about their background or whatever, then I think that's acceptable. | ||
| But the idea that you have to talk about them ad nauseam and talk about their motivation, et cetera, I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not, because if they have, you know, motivations that if they have some kind of manifesto or whatever, maybe it is good for that to be put out. | ||
| But at the same time, you know, if it will inspire other people, you know, I'm not sure where the line is. | ||
| Like the kid who was the son of a Hollywood producer, I believe he produced like Harry Potter movies or something. | ||
| And then he shot up like a restaurant in Malibu. | ||
| I think that was an interesting one where you kind of go, okay, well, there's this rich kid who's spoiled and kind of has everything. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Why is that life as vapid and empty as another life? | ||
| And I mean, I mean, you could read like Brad Easton House's Less Than Zero and see why, but if you're not really aware of that, it's like, why do these things where people have so much and people have so little have these same repercussions of violence? | ||
| Well, what about something like the Christchurch shooter, the guy that shot up the mosque with all of the, you know, both the weapons that he used had all kinds of crazy writing on him and stuff, is that worth discussing or is that worth making his manifesto known? | ||
| I mean, he livestreamed it on Facebook. | ||
| I mean, I don't know that you could find the actual livestream, but for a while it was available on the internet and you could literally just watch the guy get out of his car, went to his trunk, picked up a gun. | ||
| I don't remember, I could be misreembering, but I want to say that he's humming as he does it. | ||
| And it's just really brutal and morbid to think about, you know. | ||
| Well, that's. | ||
| It was so casual, that's what I remember. | ||
| That was done in such a way that I think the first person at the door greeted the guy, if I'm not mistakenken, and the FPS nature of it also made it look so surreal, almost like a video game where, you know, like you're in GTA where it just almost didn't make sense seeing it. | ||
| I think on the manifesto stuff, it's like, if we're being honest, it's a messed up way to get your stupid manifesto a ton of attention. | ||
| And then some people would give credit to it and some people won't, and, you know, that'll kind of just be that, but it's tragic. | ||
| I'm just wondering if, where do you guys think we should draw the line though? | ||
| Is there a place where it's acceptable to say, okay, this particular person's information should be given to the public. | ||
| This particular person's information should be withheld? | ||
| There are, there is, I think, a valid argument for, look, people shouldn't be kept in the dark. | ||
| If the government has information, there's no actual reason to hold it from the public. | ||
| But there's also the argument, oh, hey, if you put this information out, it may inspire copycats. | ||
| I'm wondering where you guys, if you guys think there's a line, is it some should, some shouldn't, all of it should be kept as quiet as possible? | ||
| Or I think a lot of it should be able to, you can seek it out, but it shouldn't be jammed down your throat. | ||
| I mean, I think we should be allowed to have the information as citizens. | ||
| I think Ted Kaczynski is something, for example, where you can look and go, okay, he's a genius. | ||
| There's a lot of information here that he was accurate about. | ||
| He just shouldn't have made nail bombs. | ||
| Like the whole thing that was He was wrong about the post office. | ||
| He was wrong. | ||
| He really blowing off a postal worker's hand was the thing he shouldn't have done, but the rest of it reads where you're like, pretty accurate. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You could have made like a sub stack or something. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, really. | ||
| If only the internet was around when he was, you know. | ||
| And even if it was around, he was in a place with real spotted wifi. | ||
| I imagine. | ||
| Out in that shed in the woods. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah. | ||
| Only Elon Musk. | ||
| But yeah. | ||
| Can you imagine Ted Kaczynski the guy that wrote the guy that wrote industrial civilization and its consequences. | ||
| There's probably thirty of them alive today, but Twitter just gets it out of them so they can just get fucked up on Twitter and it gets that juice out. | ||
| I mean, that's a valid point. | ||
| How many people out there actually, the internet has given them an outlet and prevented them from going I think the opposite. | ||
| I think more people are getting radicalized on the internet and you could find a small group of people who agree with your delusions on the internet, no matter how dumb your delusion is, you can find a group of people on the internet. | ||
| But the point that we're making is that those people find people to talk to and that's the outlet., as opposed to just No, they become more radical as a result to only talking to the specific group of crazys who confirm their craziness. | ||
| So in the past, if you were a complete wacko, you couldn't find crazy people online who agreed with you and gave you confirmation bias to your crazy ideas. | ||
| You'd be around people who were like, nah, you're actually a moron. | ||
| But now you could find someone who says whatever you want is a natural thing. | ||
| I'm not arguing against that point. | ||
| I think you're correct with that. | ||
| But the point that I'm the question that But Marshall Apple White found followers. | ||
| Well, that's the thing. | ||
| It's like we had entire conglomerates that were going to cut their. | ||
| The point that I'm making is that you could jump on Hailbop. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I have no idea what this is. | ||
| The hillbop, I forget what it was. | ||
| It was a comet that was coming? | ||
| Heaven's Gate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Heaven's Gate. | |
| And they're like, We're going to ride the comet, but you just have to cut it. | ||
| But the point that I'm making is, the shoes were nice. | ||
| You find people to discuss things with. | ||
| And because you find people to discuss these things with, you don't actually become violent in the real world. | ||
| And it seems that there is less violence today than there was twenty, thirty, forty years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We had entire countries that were like communists and fascists. | ||
| Like, yeah. | ||
| The idea that these radical ideologies are spreading through the internet is like crazy. | ||
| It's like, the last century was way worse for this kind of thing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We were talking about the this. | ||
| It was nice. | ||
| The 20th century was an absolute bloodbath and all the radical stuff that people are afraid of. | ||
| I mean, by the time 1925 rolled around, there had already been the most destructive war in human history and then to be followed by World War two, which was again the most destructive war in human history. | ||
| Let's give the internet some time to cook, guys. | ||
| I think it's only been ubiquitous for what, twenty or thirty years? | ||
| Let's give the internet some time to cook. | ||
| Don't worry. | ||
| It will cause a lot of problems with radicalizing people, I think, in the future. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'd only say fifteen really has had a big impact. | ||
| Has it really been everywhere? | ||
| that everybody's been on. | ||
| We don't even have all the Indians on. | ||
| The Chinese have a Great Wall of China, Internet flies, Great Firewall of China or what have you. | ||
| So, no, I think if you give like a group of crazy, radical communists ways to talk to each other online, I think they'd be talking themselves to the more extreme and not like off the, off the, the extreme. | ||
| So it's your, it's your opinion that there are more extreme ideologies today than there were in the 20th century. | ||
| I think they could be normalized easier by finding peers who agree with you and will confirm your crazy beliefs online, making these people that are these, like radicals, getto eyes quicker. | ||
| They just become purely online types of people where back in the day they had to seek each other out. | ||
| They'd start compounds. | ||
| Like when was the last time we got a good compound? | ||
| We haven't had a compound in a long time. | ||
| I just don't know of the good ones. | ||
| They're off the grid still. | ||
| I think that, I mean, it's possible that you could prove to be right, but I do think that I still think you're wrong. | ||
| I think that the twentieth century really was like I think the twentieth century might have been the apex in recent history of just absolute batshit crazy people doing crazy things. | ||
| Well, you could get away with them. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, if you even look at like the mafia, you could just walk around like the Teflon Don, just kill people. | ||
| I mean, it was really, it was really nice. | ||
| I mean, not that it was good, but I mean, it was that level of anonymity. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Like a fun time to live where, like, you really had to pick and choose the bloodbath you were going to air on the news that night. | ||
| There were so many. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You know, like, you commit crimes. | ||
| You could just skip town. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Nobody was finding you. | ||
| No, I mean, you would just bury somebody and they're like, I don't know what happened to Tim. | ||
| And it was, that was it. | ||
| You could dodge a draft by just going to Canada. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And now, like, go fish. | ||
| Like, just have a bone spur, you don't even need to go that far. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Okay. | ||
| Like, now they're solving cold cases with DNA, which is interesting, but there's so many of them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, now they're about to like find out with Jean Binet and stuff. | ||
| All you have to do is turn on like, uh, Netflix and they have all types of murder mystery things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh yeah. | |
| And that's what women like unwind. | ||
| That's all I've always wondered who's watching this is women. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| They unwind a murder. | ||
| My girlfriend has literally watched everything that Netflix has to offer when it comes to murder. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's terrible. | |
| I'm like, I'm like, I have a lot of guns here. | ||
| Do I really want you watching these kind of things? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they say if you unwind to that, you have severe mental disorders and I don't know one woman who doesn't watch that stuff. | ||
| I feel like offense lady. | ||
| Severe mental disorders in women kind of go hand in hand. | ||
| Yeah, maybe they need it because they're always like, I want to feel safe. | ||
| And I'm like, but you go to bed watching the Carnival Cruise thing where a woman is taken and they still keep seeing her at different places, even though she's fifty and still being trafficked. | ||
| Did you see that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I didn't even know about it. | ||
| So my wife's like, yeah, I've watched it twice. | ||
| Why did you watch it twice? | ||
| Horrifying. | ||
| She's like, there was nothing else on. | ||
| Yeah, she was like sixteen and the Bahamas with her parents and someone's just like, a worker just took her and she's been gone. | ||
| Creepy. | ||
| That's why I don't go on cruises. | ||
| I, you know, I don't go on cruises myself. | ||
| I don't go on cruises because I'm claustrophobic. | ||
| Come on, I want to be able to go where I want. | ||
| No, I hate the cruises because you go on there and it's like the workers are from the Philippines and Indonesia and they look miserable. | ||
| And then you ask them, they're like, it's actually a really good job in their country. | ||
| And you're just like, this If I want to murder someone, I'm inviting them on a cruise. | ||
| If someone has to say good job in Felix by in their country, it's not a good job. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's not. | |
| It's not. | ||
| But they actually fight over this. | ||
| I'll be honest, wrapping cheeseburgers for any. | ||
| Any caveats are not a good idea. | ||
| It's actually a really good job. | ||
| Caveat. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| It's not a really good job. | ||
| Like, what's another good job there? | ||
| Well, they sell cocaine from a jet ski. | ||
| You could be a child soldier, so it's a little better than that. | ||
| If you ever parade shoot from the back of a boat and not lived, they do that too. | ||
| Okay, we're going to jump to one last story here. | ||
| Michael Rappapur was supposed to be playing in the Stardome in Alabama, and it was cancelled. | ||
| He tweeted My show tonight at the Stardome in Alabama was cancelled. | ||
| I did not cancel. | ||
| I would never cancel, especially since I'm already here in Birmingham ready to perform. | ||
| It was shut down because of protests and threats over my support for Israel and for speaking up about the fifty hostages still being held in Gaza. | ||
| Six hundred seventy days in captivity.ity for days and people are protesting me for demanding their release. | ||
| It's embarrassing, it's sad, but I'm not ashamed. | ||
| I stand by what I said and who I stand with. | ||
| Fortunately, I got to meet some incredible people from the Shabbat of Alabama today and had the blessings of rapping Tefilin, a gigantic mitzvah and a reminder of what really matters. | ||
| I am Yisrael Shah. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| I am Yisrael Shah, I think you said. | ||
| Anyway, rapping Tefilin is the weirdest thing that I have ever seen a religion do. | ||
| Like they put a box. | ||
| That's the weirdest thing. | ||
| That's one of the weirdest. | ||
| They put a box on their head. | ||
| They put a box on their arm. | ||
| The scripture matters. | ||
| They put the box, there's scripture. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And they're like boxers. | ||
| And then it's cow leather that you rap, um, x amount of times and it's symbolic. | ||
| But, um, speaking of the twenty hostages, Hamas actually released a hostage video over the weekend of Eviatar David, um, where he was hungry, literally hungry, not fake Palestinians hungry, um, literally skin and bones, um, forced to dig his own grave according to the Hamas video. | ||
| Um, again, this is Hamas that chose to make a video of them starving someone and forcing him to dig his own grave and like, well, counting down the days and watching him cry all over himself. | ||
| So I think it's good awareness that he's bringing to this mister Rapappure. | ||
| So Hamas was violent? | ||
| Who'd have thought it? | ||
| My stars. | ||
| I still can't believe that there are people that would side with Hamas. | ||
| They are. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| After the Oh, you can't paraglide anymore? | ||
| Like, I mean, you can be critical. | ||
| If you want to be critical of Israel for 911. | ||
| I know, right? | ||
| If you want to be critical of Israel and the way they're carrying out the war in Gaza, fine. | ||
| You can be critical of that. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| But, like, the idea that, like, people are like, Hamas are the good guys. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's like, come on, come on. | ||
| But you talk about the 90s and people being unaware. | ||
| This is the Middle East. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's just war all the time and has been since I was a kid. | ||
| Starving children is awful, but this has been the entire time I've been alive. | ||
| I don't know how people aren't aware of that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's and people love to say that it's Israel's fault. | ||
| It was not Israel's fault that Iran and Iraq were at war for two decades or a decade or whatever. | ||
| And Iraq is really there because Iran lets them. | ||
| Well, yeah. | ||
| Because Iran is a very big and in. | ||
| And in context, powerful country compared to whatnot. | ||
| And then you have Americans going, why would we bomb Iran? | ||
| It's like, what? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because I ran, because I ran, you know, you're around here. | |
| Lebanon, you know? | ||
| Did you not understand anyhow it's it's a terrible dry place that God doesn't want you to live. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nothing grows there. | |
| I mean, well, in Iraq, but Iran, if I understand correctly, Iran has, they've got mountains and stuff. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| I've never been. | ||
| Neither have I. It just, it looks awful from all the footage I've seen. | ||
| So I could be speaking out of turn. | ||
| Everything post 1979 seems to be kind of a mess. | ||
| The footage, I mean, like it's getting just blown up all the time. | ||
| That's every time I see the footage. | ||
| In Iran? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, if you if you defend Jews now, you get called the Sionist and you're like, I don't I don't think you should be murdering Jews. | ||
| Remember how that happened? | ||
| And not only so not only if you defend Jews, but if you don't hate Israel. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
| Then you're a Sionist. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like, I catch a lot of heat because I'm not like, kill all the Jews. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then you hear Jews go, I'm not anti Semitic because I'm against Israel. | ||
| And you're like, I what?? | ||
| So what are you then? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're like, Well, I'm just pro Palestine. | ||
| Okay, what do they believe? | ||
| From the river to the sea. | ||
| You want to read the Quran and tell me which part of that is pro you? | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| You're going to be saved? | ||
| Well, especially when it comes to people in the West, those are the same people that would say, you know, I think that I'm a queer for Palestine. | ||
| Which is hilarious. | ||
| Hilarious. | ||
| Yeah, it is hilarious. | ||
| idea that you know they and if you as we know they only have sex with children who drive them around right I don't know. | ||
| Is that what I've heard. | ||
| That's the case. | ||
| But I've heard a lot of the soldiers, the, the, I don't know what they have over there, corporals? | ||
| Sergeants? | ||
| I don't know what Hamas No offense if I live, you know, Dearborn, so near there. | ||
| I bless you, people. | ||
| Allah bless you. | ||
| Love you guys. | ||
| Peace be with him. | ||
| The Quran, or as I call it, the Good Book. | ||
| It's a bestseller. | ||
| Oh, it's really a top drawer. | ||
| Find all the shelves. | ||
| So how? | ||
| You call it the New New Testament. | ||
| So that this Michael Rappapport getting cancelled though. | ||
| We were talking before the show. | ||
| It's my sense that this is an internet thing, as opposed to a locals in Birmingham thing. | ||
| I don't imagine that there are a lot of people in Birmingham that are, you know, we gotta let those hostages go. | ||
| You know, that's kind of, that's right. | ||
| Or no, they're anti Israel. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, there's a genocide taking place. | ||
| That's not right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They didn't have kids. | |
| We're starving. | ||
| You know, I mean, like, that's not Alex. | ||
| Is that Jew Lover down there? | ||
| Is that Sionist boy? | ||
| You tell me he hates Muslims? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's Muslims. | |
| Get in the truck. | ||
| Get in the queers for Palestine. | ||
| We're heading down there. | ||
| Get in the truck. | ||
| We're going to go down to the Stardome and not watch the show. | ||
| So, I mean, it's my sense that it's kind of an internet thing, but I wonder why is it this particular location, as opposed to, you know, is he on tour, or is it they just decided, oh, get him now? | ||
| I think progressives in Alabama. | ||
| You're going to tell me the Nazi in Higher Learning isn't really a Nazi? | ||
| I mean, there's a lot, there are a lot of black people in Birmingham, and black people tend to, you know, not be filled with it. | ||
| The Stardome is largely a black club. | ||
| Is it really? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| So do you think that's what it is, the black population in Birmingham? | ||
| They may have just not wanted to go to the show. | ||
| I mean, I have nothing against him at all, but I mean, that could be it. | ||
| It just sucks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Like, oh, I got protests. | ||
| I mean, honestly, they could have been the two that bought tickets and they were like, We got a two for one. | ||
| We got an emailed coupon for a meet and greet. | ||
| You can't say no to coupon, right? | ||
| No, I mean, you blame them. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| Look how happy they are. | ||
| Bring those guys up. | ||
| They're excited. | ||
| Yeah, they got there. | ||
| And even Rapport looks like, Do I have to take this picture? | ||
| Jesus guys, ton it down. | ||
| Come on guys. | ||
| It's all on the nose. | ||
| Can I get you boys a hat with a brim? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Yeah, I mean, I think if it's the real reason that people were protesting, if you're protesting outside and black people want to go to a show, they're going to go to the show. | ||
| I imagine. | ||
| They're not going to go. | ||
| There's a bunch of white people who don't want us to go in. | ||
| They're going to go, Do you want to move? | ||
| Nobody, nobody has ever stopped a black group of people from getting into a concert. | ||
| Or out. | ||
| So, I don't know. | ||
| It seems like a publicity stunt. | ||
| I mean, maybe it is. | ||
| Maybe it is. | ||
| I don't know if there's any kind of Let's see if there's any kind of follow up to this or if this is the There should be video if there's people protesting, right? | ||
| Yeah, you'd assume. | ||
| Partition the auditorium. | ||
| I will say he's not my favorite pro-Israel guy. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Michael Rappaport. | ||
| He still flops a lot. | ||
| I just thought he sucked before the Israel stuff. | ||
| So now post-Israel stuff, I think he just still sucks. | ||
| He's a comedian. | ||
| Like, I don't know. | ||
| Does he do shows and stuff? | ||
| He's like, he used to do like the, when they draft the Knicks, drafted Chris Daphne Porzanis, and he was like, does he even have a green card? | ||
| It was a beautiful thing. | ||
| I remember him as like a sports guy. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| He was kind of racist in Germany's world. | ||
| He was in like Hopland. | ||
| He was really good. | ||
| Higher alert. | ||
| All comedians kind of racist. | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| Can you tell me about this phenomenon of all comedians just becoming geopolitical experts? | ||
| Just, I don't know, the turn of a switch. | ||
| It's all these guys because we're at Popor now too. | ||
| And it's, I don't know what It is with comedy, maybe it's about feeling really confident about while you don't know a lot about a topic. | ||
| Right. | ||
| What's going on here? | ||
| For me particularly? | ||
| No, no. | ||
| Is there something in the, and I don't know, they're giving you guys at the back of these comedy clubs. | ||
| No, I mean, a lot of world history books back there. | ||
| I ended up, you know, tons. | ||
| I ended up on the Anthony Kumia show, gosh, 2016. | ||
| So I just started kind of looking into it and I started doing shows at Fox and meeting people. | ||
| So for me, it was kind of before all of it. | ||
| But I don't. | ||
| I learned talking to people like you. | ||
| Those that happen to be experts on it like this, I don't understand because I don't buy it. | ||
| That's why it doesn't make much sensese to me, to be honest with you. | ||
| And also, I'm kind of offended by actors who become comedians like him. | ||
| Because you're kind of going up on stage and going, hey, remember me from movies? | ||
| Well, now I do comedy. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| It's like how Jeremy Piven or, you know, Dust and Diamond RIP, but it's like how they were something, now they go and do comedy. | ||
| It's just, it's odd to me because it's like you didn't start as a comic, you became one after you were that. | ||
| And I did like Mizzagga. | ||
| There's a movie called Bamboozled actually that Spike Lee did where he's the head of like the WB and he's basically just like tap dancing on a. | ||
| It's like a huge middle finger of the WB. | ||
| Like Spike Lee or not, I think it's a brilliant movie. | ||
| It's. | ||
| And yeah, and he was a really good actor. | ||
| So I don't know why he became this, but I think he just had something go viral that was political. | ||
| So he stayed in that realm. | ||
| And I think a lot of people end up doing shows where they talk about it. | ||
| So it becomes successful for them and then they stay in that angle. | ||
| But once it turns on them because he was huge left, then he switches and goes in another direction. | ||
| That's why it's hard to say what you really are. | ||
| That's why I'm fairly moderate though. | ||
| Because I don't trust either side. | ||
| And the reason I don't is because, and I've talked about this many times, my dad got Agent Orange from from Vietnam. | ||
| Got sick when I was fifteen, died when I was eighteen. | ||
| The government did nothing to help him. | ||
| I do not trust either side. | ||
| I've never seen the VA do anything for anybody. | ||
| Once our soldiers are taken care of and once I believe that a war deserves to be fought, I will. | ||
| But until then, I don't believe in any of these people. | ||
| I believe the Senate is overcrowded. | ||
| I don't believe politicians care every time you get stuck in traffic. | ||
| That's what I believe that they don't. | ||
| I believe they take our money, they overtax us, and they waste lives, and they do not care about the average human being, and they want to keep us fighting. | ||
| That's what I truly believe. | ||
| So when people go, oh, you're moderate, you might sit on a fence, I do because I do not believe I'm not partisan. | ||
| I do not believe in either of these people. | ||
| And to look at somebody, and I voted for Trump, and I've said that, but even that has now disappointed me. | ||
| And until he can prove the Epstein list, because that's something I believed in, I thought he was going to stop corruption. | ||
| I thought he was going to go after the swamp. | ||
| Well, does it get any murkier than that? | ||
| I don't think so. | ||
| So I want to see where all of this goes. | ||
| I'm so disappointed because we are polluted now with politicians, and they're nothing more than insider traders who take our money and gamble with it with tips they create themselves. | ||
| It's fascinating because a lot of comedians on both sides have become some of the most potent voices when it comes to a lot of issues like this. | ||
| I don't know if it's I don't know if I'm being cynical now. | ||
| I don't know if it's just trying to get some more buzz going. | ||
| I'm cynical, so I understand. | ||
| But I don't know if it's like they're just hopping on trends, but they're doing it effectively, and a lot of these guys, their comedy is second or third to their activism. | ||
| And so I don't know if they're just straight up opportunists, just hopping on trends, or they truly care, but they are getting the most ears in a lot of these cases. | ||
| There's some leftist pro-Palestinian guy named Jacob Berger, I believe, who's very popular in that space, and he gets a lot of atten attention. | ||
| Obviously there's Dave Smith who gets a lot of attention. | ||
| There's Mike Rappapour who gets a lot of attention. | ||
| Theo Vond, whenever he talks about politics. | ||
| There's a requirement to voice your opinion in politics nowadays. | ||
| If you don't, you get accosted by people that are accusing you of not having the politics, the correct politics, or you get accused of being this supporter or that supporter, whatever. | ||
| So it's almost a requirement to say, look, this is how I think about these things. | ||
| And there is a kind of politically correct politics to have now. | ||
| Like comedians are not even comedians anymore. | ||
| They just started to. | ||
| They're just riffing on politics. | ||
| They're just like that level political commentators. | ||
| They're sprinkling some jokes sometimes. | ||
| I know more comedians who that's like public faces though. | ||
| That's why almost every opinion I've had tonight has been a joke. | ||
| It's like, that's not a joke. | ||
| Comedy should come first to every comic in my opinion. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I think Dave Smith is very passionate about what he believes. | ||
| And I think that's why he's a little bit more outspoken than most people about it. | ||
| And what do you think he believes? | ||
| Because I believe, again, in a very cynical way, that a lot of these guys, it's just whatever gives me the numbers, like, that's what satisfies them. | ||
| I don't think he's chasing the numbers. | ||
| I think that he very much believes the stuff that he says. | ||
| I think that he very much believes that he does not believe in the war. | ||
| Do you think he has more success as a comededian or doing his activism stuff? | ||
| He was very successful. | ||
| He was a successful comedian, actually. | ||
| So I think he's kind of lost fans and gained some as a result of it. | ||
| I think his numbers have very clearly shot up since he's talked about more of his activism stuff. | ||
| And I think that's he's got more likes and more. | ||
| He's been on the Joe Rogan podcast multiple times. | ||
| I mean, he was on, he's been on it for so many years, it's hard to say, you know? | ||
| So, I mean, he was known for Legion of Skanks, which was that was really big with Compound. | ||
| So I think he's definitely got his fanship being in the political sphere. | ||
| But I mean, he goes back to Red Eye, he goes back to all that stuff. | ||
| So he's always been like a Bill Maher. | ||
| I mean, you can't really take the politics out of Bill Maher. | ||
| Where if you look at somebody like Carlin, that's more who I admire because that's just completely black pilled and kind of against everything. | ||
| And that's where I sit. | ||
| It's hard for me to align with anything because there's so much transparency. | ||
| Here's my kind of beef with the comedians in the political realm too. | ||
| It's like you're arguing with a wet pig. | ||
| And it's like if you pin them down, it's like you're a moron who's like, you know, you're just arguing with somebody who's just making jokes all day. | ||
| And then if you lose, it's like, oh, you lost some debate to some moron who's like a comedian just making jokes. | ||
| It's a Jon Stewart did this to Tucker Carlson once on my crossfire, he's like, oh, you're taking me seriously? | ||
| Like, what kind of moron are you? | ||
| You're supposed to be the serious political guy. | ||
| So it's like, you know, engage and, you know, they win. | ||
| There's really no way. | ||
| Stewart though holds himself as a serious political guy. | ||
| Well, you don't think, you don't think like Dave Smith or even Michael Rappaport also hold themselves to be serious political guys? | ||
| They definitely do. | ||
| I would say Dave Smith does. | ||
| So I think at the end of the day, it's not, I don't think he defends himself with that comedy angle. | ||
| I would be surprised that Jon Stewart did that. | ||
| I haven't seen that clip. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because I would say that almost because going on the Daily Show, was it a while ago? | ||
| It was back when Tucker Carlson was on crossfire at that point. | ||
| though, he was still a cat. | ||
| No, but that's I think that's true while talking to any, having a political debate with any comedian. | ||
| I think it's still a whole. | ||
| I think finding the humor in it though is fair. | ||
| I mean, if you're going to talk about anything in life, politics is still fair game. | ||
| So you're allowed to argue it as a comic the same way you're allowed to argue anything else. | ||
| I mean, it's the same, I mean, across the board. | ||
| I mean, if you see something wrong, you're allowed to point it out. | ||
| I guess my beef is that comedians just are barely not even they're not funny anymore. | ||
| They're just yapping and bitching about politics. | ||
| A lot yapping and bitching about politics. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| It's like, thanks for your nice lecture. | ||
| You're not, you know, Dave Chappelle where you've got to that point in your career where you could just give me a long lecture and I'll think you're funny no matter whatter what, it's just like, why are you bitching and moaning on stage? | ||
| Make a joke. | ||
| Like, the truth is, I love Dave, but I mean, I would argue that the element of that is the turnout in hour because everything's content online now. | ||
| And I would put that in movies, I would put that in a lot of things. | ||
| I think we stopped creating art and we started creating content. | ||
| Yeah, I think, and it's worth, it's worth noting that if you're, if you're watching a comedian stand up, then they tend to be funny. | ||
| Like, if you're watching Dave stand up, Dave looks great. | ||
| But if you're watching, like, Dave on a podcast, Dave is not doing stand up on a podcast. | ||
| And he's not on a podcast because he's a comedian, he's on a podcast because he's a libertarianan activist, almost all the time. | ||
| Like, very rarely does Dave go on to a podcast as Dave Smith the Comedian. | ||
| Like, he's a he's a funny guy and so he might crack some jokes, but he's not there specifically because of Dave Smith the Comedian. | ||
| He's there because he's a he's a political activist, he's there because he's a libertarian. | ||
| My thing too is, if you look at, okay, if there's an authenticity to it, right? | ||
| Now, if I look at a lot of people in the right wing sphere that I've met personally, they're not authentic. | ||
| They're lying. | ||
| They're just saying something to make money. | ||
| I've met plenty of these people. | ||
| They have other people write all their stuff. | ||
| They're not actually bringing out what their natural opinion is. | ||
| You've said everything you feel today off the top of your head. | ||
| I've watched it. | ||
| There's an authenticity to you, so I believe you. | ||
| I enjoy talking to you. | ||
| It's what I felt about everybody in this room. | ||
| But I've met plenty of people who aren't that person. | ||
| So you meet so many inauthentic people in this sphere that I look at those people and go, well, isn't that the same uninformed person, but they're making 100% of what they do in this? | ||
| It's a fair point. | ||
| And yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We're going to. | ||
| Oh, no. | ||
| I do agree. | ||
| I mean, there are a lot of people that I do find mind-numbingly painful to watch now because of this. | ||
| Like, I wish I fell into politics sort of incidentally, but I think comedy's number one, man. | ||
| And I think it always should be for any comic. | ||
| That's how I personally feel about it. | ||
| All right, we're going to go to Super Chats. | ||
| So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, go on over to rumble dot com, become a member, then head on over to timcast dot com and join our discord where you can hang out with like-minded people and you can call in to the after show. | ||
| You can talk to us, talk to our guests, ask questions. | ||
| But right now, we're going to go to your Super Chats. | ||
| And I think we're going to start with some Rumble rants here. | ||
| Shane H. Wilder says Rwanda just a agreed to take up to 250 of the deported illegal aliens. | ||
| If they want them, they can have them. | ||
| They can put them in Don Cheatle's hotel. | ||
| I'd rather go back to whatever South American country than Africa. | ||
| I mean, damn. | ||
| I mean, what are you going to share the food? | ||
| Rwanda. | ||
| But the reason that they're ostensibly the reason they're going to Africa or countries in Africa is because the countries of origin don't want them back because they're actual criminals. | ||
| Like they're the bad guys, the bad hombres that Trump has sworn to get or, you know, has said that he's going to get rid of. | ||
| So, look, I am as pro deportation as it come, as you can get. | ||
| Like send them back, send them back by the bus load, by the plane load. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| Just send them back. | ||
| Do you think there's any exception? | ||
| Personally, no. | ||
| My opinion is that everyone that's here illegally should go. | ||
| We should have a moratorium on all immigration for the next 10 years. | ||
| so that way the people that are here legally can assimilate and the only people that should be left let in are like possibly zero one visas and it shouldn't there should be There shouldn't, there should be stringent requirements to those 0-1 visas as well. | ||
| Like you have to, you can't be someone that's like, you know, if you have anti American sentiments, if you're some kind of socialist or you don't believe in America's values, then you shouldn't be allowed in. | ||
| I'm very, very strict about what we should do when it comes to, if you're hot, like a Colombian. | ||
| See, now this is the Alex Stein big booty Latina argument, and I still say no. | ||
| Wow, he's not even dating a booty Latina there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And his whole, his whole stick is big booty Latina, and he has the whitest girlfriend I could ever imagine. | ||
| No, I have to work next. | ||
| It's all a fraud. | ||
| It's aggressive. | ||
| Two comedians. | ||
| You can't trust him. | ||
| No. | ||
| Let's not call him a comedian. | ||
| No. | ||
| What? | ||
| I'm Gatekeeping it now, huh? | ||
| I'm scared. | ||
| I'm so nervous. | ||
| Alex is a good friend of mine. | ||
| But yeah, I, nobody, nobody can stay. | ||
| Everyone has to go. | ||
| If you're here legally, you have to go. | ||
| And I would go so far. | ||
| If you're like this close, you've got a family and a dog. | ||
| They can all go. | ||
| The dog can stay. | ||
| But the kids would be kosher. | ||
| That's the issue. | ||
| They'd have anchor babies. | ||
| So the children are citizens. | ||
| You've been in the country. | ||
| The kids can come back when they're, when they're eighteen., like send them back with the parents. | ||
| They need their, yeah, when they're legal age to come in, then they can come back because they're, they're US citizens, but they have to leave with the parents, then they can come back. | ||
| And you can't chain migrate back either because you were here illegally. | ||
| You don't get to come back when your kids come back. | ||
| I'm the kind of guy that thinks that we should actually punish business owners that hire illegals. | ||
| And I think that if you rent your, your apartment or, you know, some kind of room or whatever, a house to an illegal, you should lose the house. | ||
| Like I'm I want to make it, I want to make it as the thing that I want is I want to make it as. | ||
| uncomfortable for illegals to be here as possible. | ||
| So that way they decide to leave of their own volition. | ||
| So that we don't have ICE going and kicking in doors and finding people and stuff. | ||
| The more difficult you make So this sounds mean, right? | ||
| But it's actually the most compassionate way to do it. | ||
| Make it incredibly difficult for them to live here, tax remittances at ninety percent, do everything you can to make it as uncomfortable and unwelcoming as here. | ||
| So that way they decide to leave on their own. | ||
| So we don't have to have ICE going and confronting people. | ||
| You have to arrest people. | ||
| You don't have to have the police interactions. | ||
| I think the ICE shows the problem. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think the way if we can tone that down, that would be the best way to handle it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So tax the remittances, you're going to save a lot of money on ICE because that's the number one thing, is people want to send money back to their to their homeland. | ||
| Make it. | ||
| They'd leave themselves. | ||
| You wouldn't even have to worry about it. | ||
| The more difficult and more uncomfortable it is to be here as an illegal, the better. | ||
| So that way they leave on their own. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And then like, look, man, you want to give them $1,000 to leave. | ||
| I'm good with that too. | ||
| Give them $2,000. | ||
| If you leave and you use the app and say, look, here I am in my, my home country and I left, we'll send you $2,000. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| Like the point isn't that I'm trying to hurt these people. | ||
| The point is I want as many people to that are here illegally to leave America of their own volition, buy their own plane tickets so that way ICE doesn't have to get involved and the more uncomfortable it is to be here, the more people will leave. | ||
| And then we shut the border down for a decade so that way the people that are here can assimilate. | ||
| Everybody has to learn English. | ||
| The federal government should stop making any kind of paperwork or anything in any other language. | ||
| They shouldn't provide translators. | ||
| You have to learn English because and my argument for that is because look, everybody that speaks the same language, if you understand English, you can understand the conceptcepts. | ||
| There are certain concepts and jokes that don't like, there are jokes, specifically, right, that the easiest to understand, like they don't make sense in other languages, or there are jokes that make sense in another language that don't make sense in English. | ||
| That's because of the way that language works. | ||
| So if you all speak the same language, then you can understand the same concepts in a, it's far easier for people to understand the same concepts. | ||
| So these things I think would actually make people that are here illegally leave, and it'll make sure that we can become a country that is less divided because we all share more commonality. | ||
| Good answer. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Anyways, let's see. | ||
| Mike the Wop says, I liked him, but when he's gone, it's like the teacher is out. | ||
| There's a substitute and you get to fool around, clank. | ||

| Bert. | ||
| Nice. | ||
| Let's see. | ||
| SH 22 says, this is what happens when you have women left to raise their kids alone, be it from death, jail, criminal enterprise. | ||
| No positive male role model leads the way to this crap in DC. | ||
| I mean, look, man. | ||
| There's a lot of people that complain about toxic masculinity and stuff, but like young men are raised by single mothers and they're instructed by women in school. | ||
| So if the problem is young men. | ||
| who's teaching these young men? | ||
| It's not positive male role models, you know? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, a dad needs to be involved in a kid's life just as much. | ||
| And if they choose to be out of it, that's on them. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And like, if you choose to be out of your kid's life, you're a garbage. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You're a bad person. | ||
| Right. | ||
| There's been nothing better for me than having a kid. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'll take that a little bit further. | ||
| You need to marry your baby mama or your scumbag. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Take care of that kid for at least eighteen years and then divorce. | ||
| Otherwise, pretend. | ||
| Just pretend in front of the kids. | ||
| Pretend to be one of those. | ||
| Well, don't do the crime if you can't do the time. | ||
| LARPing, it's LARPing. | ||
| Yeah, you shouldn't be boning women that you sneak out to one of those wax shacks. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| Get a little rubbing tiger. | ||
| I mean, look, any closet and an internet connection is a is a is one of those wax shacks nowadays. | ||
| Yeah, that's true. | ||
| Just you and another cleaning each other's beard. | ||
| You know what I mean. | ||
| Michael McCord says they need a RICO-like charge for adults who can... | ||
| That's not a bad idea. | ||
| I think that's a very good idea. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Some kind of, some kind of, you know, something to say you're committing, you're, you know, you're committing. | ||
| this crime as well as the child. | ||
| I don't I don't disagree, but I don't think this is stopping the quote unquote youth from the youth. | ||
| DC crimes and stuff. | ||
| Like a New York Post article. | ||
| I was a juvenile criminal though, so I What kind of crime? | ||
| Well, murder. | ||
| Drugs, alcohol. | ||
| Not much murder. | ||
| Not much. | ||
| Just a weed. | ||
| Just a small amount. | ||
| When weed was bad. | ||
| The normal amount of murder. | ||
| When weed was very illegal. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Twenty years ago, I don't know. | ||
| Super illegal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Oh no. | ||
| It was very illegal. | ||
| You had to go to terrible places to get it. | ||
| Now you just walk into a store. | ||
| You had to go to terrible places. | ||
| Everywhere. | ||
| Like the mall. | ||
| You had to avoid CBS. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, now you just walk into Kroger. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You use your card for gas points. | ||
| It's a nursery. | ||
| Yeah, it's nuts. | ||
| But yeah, I think it's, I think you should get a chance though, depending on where you were raised, what's going on in your house. | ||
| I think you deserve an opportunity to turn your life around at that age. | ||
| But if you are of an age where you're 30 something years old convincing kids to go out and do this stuff, you should absolutely catch a RICO charge for that. | ||
| That is trafficking. | ||
| Yeah, something. | ||
| mean something. | ||
| Not that it's I'm not saying it'll stop these kids from doing illegal things, but I think it'll stop some. | ||
| Yeah, I don't know that it's a deterrent. | ||
| I do like the idea of. | ||
| it being a punishment though. | ||
| Like I think that most criminals don't look at the law as a deterrent. | ||
| If they're if they're the kind of person that's going to break the law, they're going to break the law regardless. | ||
| Prison fundamentally isn't a deterrent. | ||
| It's just it's about incapacitation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, I mean, it's literally about taking the most violent people in our society off the streets and moving and taking and isolating the rest. | ||
| That's why like when they plead insanity, it doesn't make sense. | ||
| We're like, I'm too insane to go to jail. | ||
| It's like, no, you're like the person. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So I mean, perfect candidate to go to jail. | ||
| You're too insane to sit in cordole. | ||
| Well, then you should be put on lithium and locked up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Definitely taken off the streets. | ||
| Well, I also think if you look at like a 14-year-old and then look at high school and think about how long that was for you, think of the idea that you don't get how short of a period of time that is in that time frame. | ||
| That's forever for you. | ||
| You can learn a lesson in that amount of time. | ||
| It's not like it's now. | ||
| It's not like you have a grasp of time. | ||
| When you're that old, you still have an opportunity to change yourself. | ||
| And I know a lot of people who have. | ||

| Ruffio 1804 says, Ahoy, Dave. | ||
| Ahoy. | ||
| I love Normworld and I'm buying a fuzzy memoir tonight. | ||
| You are the man. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's your book, correct? | ||
| My book, Party of One, a fuzzy memoir. | ||
| Where can they find it? | ||
| They can find it on amazon.com and the audiobook is coming out at the end of the month. | ||
| Did you do the audiobook? | ||
| Yes, I'm working on it right now. | ||
| Awesome. | ||
| But I'm trying to add some stuff to it so it's not just reading, make it a little bit more unique. | ||
| Adlibbing. | ||
| A little adlibbing and then I'm going to add a little bit of some music stuff to it. | ||
| Oh, nice. | ||
| And just some sound effects making it a little bit different. | ||
| And, you know, like police brutality and some other things I went through. | ||
| But it's about my different arrests, stuff that I had to deal with, being locked in a mental hospital, stuff like that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Well, Malio says it's mortgage fraud because he claimed both his California home and Maryland home were both his primary residence. | ||
| We can live and work in Maryland. | ||
| He can live and work in Maryland as a congressman, but he called it his primary for better local, for better loan terms. | ||
| Yeah, we were talking about that. | ||
| Look, man, I do think that... | ||
| I'm not a fan of Adam Schiff. | ||
| I think that the whole Russia thing was garbage and he was one of the most guilty of pushing that narrative. | ||
| So if they want to make his life miserable because the process is the punishment, I'm all for it. | ||
| He's got gay face. | ||
| He does have gay face. | ||
| We love that in California. | ||
| Yeah, that's why he's a senator. | ||
| That tastes funny. | ||
| Is he straight? | ||
| I don't, I mean, he might pretend to be. | ||
| There's no way though with those cheeks. | ||
| It looks like he's storing semen for the winter. | ||
| Wyatt Claydenberg says, Alad, the feds could only convict Al Capone for tax evasion. | ||
| He murdered people. | ||
| Sometimes you have to get them for whatever you can. | ||
| Sometimes you just have to get him for mortgage fraud. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, whatever it has to be. | |
| That's all you could get sometimes. | ||
| You have to Yeah, you could get. | ||
| They also let him out of Alcatraz because his brain was rotting from incurable syphilis and he was fishing in his pool. | ||
| Oh, wow. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| That's wild. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Yeah, can you imagine, and they were all watching him like the feds, and they're like, I don't think we need to watch. | ||
| There's no way he's pretending all day. | ||
| Josh O says, All that remains is a favor band. | ||
| Thank you very much, sir. | ||
| Found Timcast by your stuff. | ||
| As a cop, I have enjoyed y'all's content. | ||
| There are some things y'all say about cops I 100% agree with. | ||
| Love y'all and you too, Dave. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| That's funny because I think we trash cops on this show a relative amount. | ||
| The other day I was on, Tim was like, NYPD, yeah, they're a bunch of comics. | ||
| So, thank you for we love law enforcement here. | ||
| ICE, you guys are doing a great job. | ||
| Josh is like, yeah, they are though. | ||
| So, there you go. | ||
| This is the show for you. | ||
| Coffee Jerk 85 says, Reanimating a Dead Teenager just to have them voice over your political views to the public is friggin' ghoulish. | ||
| I'll take 19 over 84 over this S any day. | ||
| I do think ghoulish is the proper term for that. | ||
| It's pretty gross. | ||
| Hey, you should only reanimate a Dead Teenager for sex. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I mean, I think we all know that. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, you're kind of preaching to the guy. | ||
| I mean, eighteen, but yeah, thank you. | ||
| I mean, I'm not saying under. | ||
| Of course. | ||
| Right, of course. | ||
| How old was Sean Benay? | ||
| Eighteen, right? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Man, if she's not, I better have some hard drives to break three years of hard work oh boy oh boy and I do mean hard that is not a floppy disk let's see Bushido Kai says by that logic if you're pro-Israel you're anti-Christian why don't you ask the average Israeli what they think of Christians a Jew can't be A | ||
| Jew can be an anti-Sionist and not anti-Jew. | ||
| What do you think of Christians a lot? | ||
| Where'd this guy come from? | ||
| I love Christians and the Jewish state exists due to the continued support of Christians. | ||
| The Christians are the Jews keepers in this planet. | ||
| There's not enough Jews to be able to do it by ourselves. | ||
| So if we didn't have, we're definitely not getting the support from Muslims, and there are billions of them. | ||
| So, you know, the Jews and the Israeli state, the state of Israel exists to the good blessings and hard support from Christians. | ||
| Well, and it's pretty clear that they want everyone dead who's not them. | ||
| Who is they? | ||
| Muslim. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
| That's not being, I'm not being racist. | ||
| I'm being not even saying get rid of them or anything against them. | ||
| I'm just saying that is the actual goal of the Quran is that they should inherit the earth. | ||
| They have a whole PVP enabled server. | ||
| They should just stay there. | ||
| Out of Europe, out of America. | ||
| And the quick tidbit, the way that anti-Israel sentiment manifests in our country is mostly from the left thinking that Israel is white and right-wing coded. | ||
| That's the reason why far left is Satan Israel, because they believe Israel are white people. | ||
| So I think it's a fascinating, I don't know, coalition we have of some people on the far right and some people on the far left being anti-Israel. | ||
| Israel when for all other intents and purposes these people should absolutely hate each other. | ||
| How much crap do you get from grojpers and stuff on the internet? | ||
| Not, not much. | ||
| I don't, I mean, I just post my journalism too. | ||
| So, you know, my reporting, I think, speaks for itself. | ||
| But you don't really interact on the old name. | ||
| No, no, I'm not yapping on Twitter. | ||
| I feel like people posture all day on Twitter. | ||
| It's brain rotting stuff, frankly. | ||
| Isn't the number one name in Ireland, Mohammed? | ||
| Uh, I believe that doesn't say something. | ||
| So, I don't know about Ireland, but I believe that definitely. | ||
| Okay, so, yeah, so yeah, you have like Mohammed O'Reilly. | ||
| That's a problem, right? | ||
| Uh, Raymond G. Stanley junior says k, Killer show, Dave is leading the revolution. | ||

| Yo. | ||
| Tell me when we're good. | ||
| Oh, we're good. | ||
| Oh, we're good. | ||
| Hey, guess what? | ||
| We're going to talk about nuclear reactors on the Moon. | ||
| So the hills reporting, Duffy confirms fast track plan to build nuclear reactor on the Moon. | ||
| Transportation Secretary and Interim NASA Administration Sean Duffy outlined the Space Agency's fast track plan to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon on Tuesday. | ||
| We're in a race to the Moon, in a race with China to the Moon, and to have a base on the Moon. | ||
| We need energy. | ||
| And some of the key locations on the Moon, we're going to get solar power, but this fission technology is critically important, and so we've spent a hundred million dollars. | ||
| studying, Duffy said during a Department of Transportation press conference. | ||
| Can we do it? | ||
| We are now going to move beyond studying and we are going to be given direction to go, Duffy added. | ||
| Let's start to deploy our technology to move to actually make this a reality. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| What do you think a lot? | ||
| You're pretty science skeptical. | ||
| No, I wouldn't say science skeptical. | ||
| I'm actually fascinated by science. | ||
| I studied biology in college for no good reason. | ||
| I thought I was going to be a doctor or some shit. | ||
| What a dumb idea. | ||
| But this is actually, this makes total sense because how else would there, what else would a good energy source, an easy good energy source on the moon b. | ||
| I think the future of energy is nuclear energy. | ||
| I think what's missing from our current energy solution is nuclear energy. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| Do you think that going to Mars is a good endeavor? | ||
| Yes, and I think the most effective way to do so is using nuclear energy as fuel for it. | ||
| So right now we have dozens of nuclear submarines, right? | ||
| And I believe nuclear tech is the future and the safest way to continue our endeavors and energy use. | ||
| What do you say to people like Elon Musk that say we need to have AI and built into robots in order to start a Mars colony. | ||
| Repeat that. | ||
| We need AI. | ||
| We need AI robots. | ||
| We need Optimus with at least a form of general AI in order to begin colonizing Mars because the Martian environment is extremely hostile to humans. | ||
| There's a lot of radiation. | ||
| It's very cold. | ||
| There's not a lot of water. | ||
| We need to send robots that can begin to build the base that will house humans. | ||
| What do you say to that? | ||
| I say people like you are. | ||
| clanker fucking supremacists and we need to stop letting robots take the jobs of real colonizers. | ||
| Real American colonizers. | ||
| Americans need to be colonizing and settling Mars and the Moon, not these clanker bots taking our job. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Get these bots out of here. | ||
| We used to manifest destiny, not with robots. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| It was good. | ||
| It was hardworking American settlers that we were proud of colonizing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Things. | |
| Now it's like, Hey, wafer heads out. | ||
| If the robots colonized Mars for us, did we even really colonize Mars or was it the clankers that really did it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| You retard. | ||
| No, no. | ||
| I'm sick of these, these grease crickets. | ||
| Get them out of here. | ||
| These clanks, get them out! | ||
| Land out, land out. | ||
| If robots conquer Mars for us, did we conquer Mars? | ||
| Are we colonizing Mars if the clankers got there and are actually doing it? | ||
| If there are no humans on Mars and it's just robots doing the colonization, are we colonizing Mars or are the clankers? | ||
| It's just Johnny Five Cavs with nobody in them. | ||
| What's that? | ||
| It's total recall. | ||
| There's no three-titted women. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Good point. | ||
| See what I'm saying? | ||
| I'm with you. | ||
| We didn't conquer anything. | ||
| So the argument is we're talking about a nuclear reactor or there's no argument. | ||
| We're talking about a nuclear reactor on the moon. | ||
| We're talking about a nuclear reactor on the moon. | ||
| And Elod, who is AI skeptical, was like, yes, this is a good idea. | ||
| And I replied with, well, do you believe that we should go to Mars? | ||
| And he said, again, yes. | ||
| And then I said, well, what would you say to someone that says, look. | ||
| The foundation for a human colony on Mars needs to be built by robots because the environment is so incredibly hostile. | ||
| So on Mars? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So currently the plan, Tesla's plan, Musk's plan is to use Optimus robots with AI. | ||
| Prime. | ||
| No, not Prime. | ||
| Oh, Optimus. | ||
| Optimus Prime is probably a decade or two away. | ||
| But the Optimus robots that could actually go to Mars, he's planning, hoping that those are available and functional next year at the end of the year when the window to actually send a Starship to Mars is open. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So he's planning on using Optimus robots to lay the foundation for, you know, and do two years worth of work because the window to send a spaceship to Mars only opens every two years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So he's hoping to send a starship, at least one, possibly more to Mars with Optimus robots to begin laying the foundation of a Mars colony. | ||
| So that way the next time the window opens, we can send the first manned crew to Mars. | ||
| So it would be if everything were to go perfectly for Musk, twenty twenty six, a couple starships go to Mars, land, and they start building. | ||
| And then twenty twenty eight would be when humans go to start working, I don't know how many it would be, but that's the argument. | ||
| So if the case is the AI is necessary to have those robots. | ||
| start doing the work. | ||
| Would you say that it's something that's pie in the sky or would you say it's something that's a worth the cause? | ||
| Because again, the reason it started is because AI, because a lot is AI skeptical. | ||
| I think I just saw an article where a guy got in a fender bender and his Tesla shot down and caught fire and he burned to death in his cyber truck. | ||
| So I'm going to say I'm skeptical because they asked the Tesla company what happened and they were like, yeah, it happens. | ||
| So I'm going to say it probably can't be done. | ||
| Can't be done at all. | ||
| I mean, it could be done theoretically, but see, I believe the moon thing my whole life, and now I think Kubrick did it. | ||
| Oh, you don't think we went to the moon? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'm pretty skeptical now. | ||
| I'm not saying I don't know for sure. | ||
| I guess I shouldn't say flat out I think Kubrick did it, but now there's so many different stories that I hear that I now question it, and I never thought I would. | ||
| So the reason I still believe or one of the reasons why I believe it's the shag carpeting in that rocket ship. | ||
| I believe that the whole of the space program was really about building accurate IBC, IBC, ICBMs. | ||
| Intercontinental ballistic missiles. | ||
| So a rocket is the same thing as an intercontinental ballistic missile. | ||
| If you can get a rocket to the moon and land it and get it back, you can definitely get a nuclear warhead to Moscow. | ||
| And I think that was the motivating factor for basically the entire space race was being able to deliver nuclear missiles to Russia without having to put them in bombers and fly over the So it's kind of like saying, Hey Russia, look what we did. | ||
| And then Russia was trying to do the same thing. | ||
| The whole point of the space race was actually to be able to deliver nuclear weapons. | ||
| It was Dick swinging. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Yeah, okay. | ||
| Well, if that's true, you kind of got my attention. | ||
| So I had a, I think the bigger question here is that theoretically, if possible, do you think that Elon Musk would impregnate a robot if he could? | ||
| Oh, yeah, dude. | ||
| And then how many? | ||
| I don't think he'd stop. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So I think this should be our bigger concern. | ||
| If Musk is able to go through with all his robot projects and send in robots to Mars, they would all be Musk bots. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| And he'd just be sending all of his impregnated robots to not base our interplanetary policies on Elon Musk's sex life. | ||
| You'd be surprised. | ||
| We should not do that. | ||
| If he's the one setting the rocket, yeah, he can freaking smash whatever's written. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It kind of sus he made that like Annie. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Companion on sex or whatever. | ||
| Like that's super subtle. | ||
| Hey, can you, what is that? | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| It's the, that's like the companion. | ||
| It's the horny. | ||
| Like Grock, but your girlfriends? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah, it's the horny robot. | ||
| It's the horny robot. | ||
| But just horny chat. | ||
| It's a, well, it's a, she can't, she can't. | ||
| She doesn't actually. | ||
| No, no, it's not a she, it's a robot. | ||
| It's a robot. | ||
| It's a lady robot. | ||
| It is a lady robot, but now they want to build them with personalities and it's like, why? | ||
| You You might as well just make it Helen Keller. | ||
| You don't need to get to know the thing. | ||
| I mean, yeah. | ||
| Annie and have you ever met a woman? | ||
| Right. | ||
| Like, what about you just make it so it gets wet and it doesn't electrocute you? | ||
| I mean, these are the goals. | ||
| I'm, I am, I am. | ||
| It's like a new space race. | ||
| I am of the opinion that the main, I'm of the opinion that the main obstacle to actual sex robots is self cleaning. | ||
| Once they can do that, oh yeah. | ||
| And they'll be like, oh okay, yeah, I'll buy it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Once you get, don't get an UTI every time you have to. |
