=== Hantavirus Panic in Switzerland (14:48) ===

[00:02:43]  Just in time for a midterm election.
[00:02:46]  It is Hantavirus pandemic panic.
[00:02:49]  That's right.
[00:02:50]  Everyone online is freaking out about the Hantavirus.
[00:02:52]  A new reported case in Switzerland.
[00:02:55]  What's going on?
[00:02:56]  In fact, a Twitter account tweeted in 2022.
[00:03:00]  In 2023, the coronavirus pandemic would end.
[00:03:03]  And in 2026, the Hantavirus.
[00:03:05]  I'm just going to tell you right off the bat I think the real story here is that there is no big story.
[00:03:11]  The news outlets are all fairly desperate for something to cover.
[00:03:15]  And I'm going to tell you exactly what's going on right off the bat without bearing the lead, but we'll talk about it.
[00:03:19]  I mean, it is interesting.
[00:03:20]  This weird Twitter post is interesting.
[00:03:22]  I think all of the editors in chiefs of these companies are sitting around, like, drooling, going, Is there anything to talk about?
[00:03:30]  And then one editor goes, I don't even talk about the Hantavirus thing on the cruise.
[00:03:34]  And I was like, Okay, let's just write up what they got.
[00:03:36]  Because honestly, when you look at the numbers year over year, this is not spectacular at all.
[00:03:41]  And now you've got posts from, like, was it Sarah Palin saying, Do not comply.
[00:03:46]  And I'm sitting here being like, Guys, Okay, no, I get that.
[00:03:50]  But if we really did get widespread Hantavirus pandemic, it's a 40% mortality.
[00:03:57]  I don't think compliance becomes part of the equation when half of the people are dead.
[00:04:02]  And I'm not trying to be cute, but we'll talk about it.
[00:04:05]  It's interesting nonetheless.
[00:04:06]  To back up my claim that it's a slow news day, and that's why this story is going massively viral, there's nothing else, is also a story from YouGov where they did a poll asking if an eight year old could beat up Donald Trump winning a fist fight.
[00:04:19]  I'm not kidding.
[00:04:20]  YouGov polled people asking if they thought Trump would win a fist fight with an eight year old.
[00:04:26]  I have to imagine, like, after the Hantavirus stuff, the guys at YouGov are just sitting there like, I really just have nothing.
[00:04:32]  And they're like, You think Trump could beat up a little kid?
[00:04:36]  Let's ask people.
[00:04:37]  That's how desperate they are for news right now.
[00:04:39]  I'm not even joking.
[00:04:41]  So, of course, there is still a bit we can talk about.
[00:04:43]  We'll get into that.
[00:04:43]  Mark Hamill deleted a tweet where he called for the death of Trump.
[00:04:48]  He really did.
[00:04:49]  And he tried wording it in a Weasley way, but he did.
[00:04:52]  And people were calling for boycotts.
[00:04:54]  And so he took the post down.
[00:04:56]  We'll talk about that.
[00:04:58]  It's getting crazy out there.

[00:06:30]  Well, right on.
[00:06:31]  Thanks for hanging out.
[00:06:31]  Libby is here.
[00:06:32]  Yes, I am here.
[00:06:33]  I'm Libby Emmons.
[00:06:34]  Glad to be here with you guys.
[00:06:36]  I'm one of those editors you were talking about who was scrambling for news.
[00:06:39]  And you can also check out my podcast, The Pod Millennial.
[00:06:43]  I'm Ian Crossland.
[00:06:44]  Hello.
[00:06:45]  Hello, everyone.
[00:06:45]  If you don't know me yet, what's wrong with you?
[00:06:47]  Follow me on the internet.
[00:06:48]  Carter Banks.
[00:06:49]  I'm Carter Banks.
[00:06:51]  Same as what Ian said.
[00:06:52]  Tim, let's get in.
[00:06:53]  Let's go.
[00:06:53]  Here's a story from the Washington Post Authorities scramble to limit Hanta virus outbreak, trace contacts around the globe.
[00:07:01]  U.S. officials in at least five states Arizona, California, Georgia, Texas, Virginia are monitoring systems of seven returning passengers.
[00:07:09]  And so when I saw this story, And you've got these reports.
[00:07:12]  They're saying now that there's a reported case in Switzerland.
[00:07:16]  Let me break it down for you.
[00:07:17]  The only thing that's somewhat alarming is this story from Dutch news.
[00:07:21]  A KLM flood attendant has been hospitalized with suspected Honta virus.
[00:07:25]  And the reason why this one matters this person was not on the boat.
[00:07:28]  She just came into contact with someone who did go on the boat and then died.
[00:07:33]  So there is concern that this may be spreading human to human.
[00:07:38]  I just want to stress this, though.
[00:07:40]  The person in Switzerland was apparently on the boat.
[00:07:42]  And when they got off the boat and heard about it, they went to the hospital and they're like, you might actually have this too.
[00:07:47]  So far, I think now we have three confirmed deaths, potentially eight cases that are not confirmed, not lab tested, we don't know.
[00:07:55]  But I can say, I can confirm, desperate newsrooms around the globe are running this story and screeching like banshees because there was just nothing else to really talk about.
[00:08:06]  And I'm going to tell you this because Libby's here to attest to this fact.
[00:08:10]  But even here, I actually just didn't, I only did a short version of my morning show.
[00:08:14]  I only did about 45 minutes.
[00:08:17]  Because going through all the news, I was like, look, Mark Hamill called for the president to be killed or to die or whatever.
[00:08:23]  That's news.
[00:08:24]  Then I was just like, people are talking about Hantavirus.
[00:08:27]  I did my research and I found that this Hantavirus outbreak, they're calling it, is unremarkable.
[00:08:34]  And actually, the past several years have been substantially worse than whatever this is.
[00:08:39]  And I was like, is that what it is?
[00:08:41]  Because we're sitting here and I'm going, like, I'm in the slack, like, guys, is this big news?
[00:08:45]  And people are like shrugging.
[00:08:46]  And I'm sure that's what's happening with Libby, right?
[00:08:49]  Yeah, but I will say that I dug deep and found more and better news.
[00:08:52]  Like there was an A-roll debate in LA last night.
[00:08:56]  That was pretty good.
[00:08:57]  Spencer Pratt really did a great job against Karen Bass and Nitya Rahman.
[00:09:01]  So we'll see.
[00:09:03]  Apparently, one of the big stories is that Karen Bass admitted the reservoir was supposed to be used for fire.
[00:09:09]  Yes, she did.
[00:09:10]  She said a million years ago it was used for fires, but recently we've been using it for drinking water.
[00:09:15]  And when Spencer Pratt was like, these are for fires, why were they drained?
[00:09:19]  So that was, I thought she apparently admitted it.
[00:09:21]  Yeah.
[00:09:21]  She said, well, they are for fires.
[00:09:23]  And that opens them up to civil liability, which is great.
[00:09:25]  Yeah, which is good.
[00:09:27]  Spencer Pratt said on the debate stage, you know, I blame you for burning down my house and my parents' house and all of my neighbors' homes, my kids' school and everything else.
[00:09:36]  Well, but let's.
[00:09:37]  I thought that was good.
[00:09:38]  But let's bring it back to the Hansa for a second.
[00:09:41]  Yeah.
[00:09:41]  Conspiracy theory.
[00:09:42]  Do you think that sponsored by Pfizer?
[00:09:46]  I'm just calling out, like, remember the news where it was like, sponsored by Pfizer?
[00:09:49]  What's this?
[00:09:49]  June 11th, 2022, Soothsayer.
[00:09:52]  This is an account that I guess says reads the future.
[00:09:56]  And, you know, Star of Venus, Eye of Horse.
[00:09:59]  They said 2023, Corona ended.
[00:10:01]  2026, Hanta virus.
[00:10:03]  Hanta.
[00:10:04]  Hanta.
[00:10:04]  I was looking into their followers.
[00:10:05]  The people they were following, and one of them was Bill Gates.
[00:10:08]  Wait, what?
[00:10:08]  Yeah.
[00:10:09]  They're following like 18 people, and one of them is Bill Gates.
[00:10:14]  Finger on the pulse.
[00:10:16]  Following black hole.
[00:10:17]  Didn't Gene Hackman's wife die of Hanta virus?
[00:10:20]  Yes.
[00:10:21]  Recently.
[00:10:22]  So, indeed.
[00:10:22]  And Hanta virus, that's the thing where you like, we were talking about this in the chat today, because as you said, there wasn't that much to talk about.
[00:10:29]  It's the thing where it's, Like rat poop, basically.
[00:10:31]  That's how, yeah, that's how it gets translated.
[00:10:32]  That's how you get it.
[00:10:33]  You just breathe in the rat poop.
[00:10:35]  Is that what it is?
[00:10:36]  You breathe it in?
[00:10:37]  I think you breathe it in.
[00:10:38]  I can't imagine that you can go on one of these ships.
[00:10:41]  It just seems like a plague ship to me.
[00:10:43]  Yeah, the sanitation is coming.
[00:10:44]  So take a look.
[00:10:45]  Someone actually made a website.
[00:10:46]  You want to know what's really crazy about this?
[00:10:49]  You see this website, you're like, wow, Hanta Tracker.
[00:10:52]  You can go on Claude and literally just type in, make a website that shows the globe and tracks Hanta virus by country, and it'll do it in 20 seconds.
[00:10:59]  And then you can just upload it and run it.
[00:11:01]  Yes.
[00:11:02]  Which I would not be surprised if it's what they did.
[00:11:04]  This is what?
[00:11:05]  This is the intensity of outbreak per nation.
[00:11:08]  No, this is the amount of news articles, I guess.
[00:11:10]  Is that what it is?
[00:11:11]  The reason I brought it up.
[00:11:12]  Yeah, look at this.
[00:11:12]  There's nine cases and three deaths, and someone made a global Honda trigger.
[00:11:16]  Guys, listen, I understand.
[00:11:18]  Like, this.
[00:11:20]  I love this story with Soothsayer because the conspiracy stuff is much more fun.
[00:11:24]  There's like four tweets, and one of them is Hantavirus.
[00:11:29]  And I'm just imagining, like, Bill Gates has an intern, some 24 year old chick, and she's like doing selfies, and she's like, I can see the future with astrology.
[00:11:37]  And then Bill Gates walks in and goes, I think after coronavirus is over in 23, we should launch the Honda virus.
[00:11:42]  And then she's just texting.
[00:11:43]  She's like, Yeah.
[00:11:45]  This thing.
[00:11:46]  What I wonder is, is the news slow today because the people that are trying to produce a global pandemic wanted to shut down all the other news so everyone could focus on Hantavirus?
[00:11:55]  They could cause panic.
[00:11:56]  And then they could start building vaccines for it.
[00:11:58]  Like, that's my crazy thing.
[00:11:59]  I think it's just been slow all week, I think.
[00:12:01]  I think it's been, it's like wavy.
[00:12:04]  You know, we've had like big, big story and then like, eh, kind of nothing.
[00:12:07]  Also, part of it is that no one wants to talk about the war.
[00:12:09]  Yeah, I was going to say that.
[00:12:10]  There's nothing to talk about.
[00:12:11]  Well, that's the thing.
[00:12:12]  Listen, my conspiracy theory is that.
[00:12:16]  Well, it's not my.
[00:12:18]  I'm going to say a conspiracy theory that I think is fun is Donald Trump was like, we nuked USAID.
[00:12:24]  We've stripped the liberal economic order of their cycle of money.
[00:12:30]  Now we need to build up our own.
[00:12:33]  So what he does is he's like, okay, every other week I'm going to announce the war is over so that prices drop.
[00:12:39]  As soon as I fire another missile, short them again.
[00:12:44]  You know, buy in, it goes to the top, sell, short, then I'll announce the war is over, it'll go down.
[00:12:49]  And they're just.
[00:12:50]  They're just funneling money to them like a vacuum cleaner.
[00:12:53]  This is a really fascinating aspect of one of your opponents' real weapons being your own nation's economy.
[00:12:59]  Like Iran knows it could never actually militarily destroy the United States, but it does know that it's basically sitting on this massive resource and ultimately it can control the flow of economic output.
[00:13:10]  And so, you know, you have this phenomenon where Trump is literally fighting the wars over the weekend so they don't impact the markets and then declaring them over during the week and then going back.
[00:13:21]  And he's just cycling over and over again.
[00:13:22]  So it creates this really.
[00:13:24]  Strange dynamic where, like, there are these little bursts of conflict whenever they won't wreck the market and then they pull it back in just in time to set everything back on course.
[00:13:33]  And that's to remove Iran's ability to ultimately tank the markets and create economic pain on the United States, which is their greatest weapon.
[00:13:40]  They're never going to win with missiles, they're going to win by harming the stock market.
[00:13:44]  And Donald Trump knows that.
[00:13:45]  That's why they're fighting the war the way they are.
[00:13:47]  Do you think that the markets should be seven days a week, 24 hours, seven days a week?
[00:13:52]  Because that's how the crypto markets are.
[00:13:53]  Yeah, no, I don't think it should be at all.
[00:13:54]  I think.
[00:13:55]  I think we should go back to like when stores were all closed on Sunday and there was just a day when nobody could get anything done.
[00:14:02]  I'm a massive supporter of that.
[00:14:03]  I'm going to go ahead and just say that this, the flow of this conversation leaves me vindicated that not even any of you care about Honda virus.
[00:14:10]  No, it's just another story.
[00:14:12]  The thing about COVID, this is what I remember the day it happened.
[00:14:15]  I was like, wow.
[00:14:15]  Because I'm being a manifestation of the future.
[00:14:18]  I'm like, if we pretend like this is going to be a big deal, is it going to become a global pandemic?
[00:14:22]  And I'm like, wow, what if it did?
[00:14:23]  Hyperstition.
[00:14:24]  Yeah.
[00:14:24]  And then it did.
[00:14:25]  And I was like, wow, what if we just dismissed it?
[00:14:27]  Would it have just gone away?
[00:14:28]  Would that have been like another flu?
[00:14:30]  Were you in Jersey with us when it started?
[00:14:31]  Yeah.
[00:14:32]  Because I remember we were in the basement and I remember when Trump made the announcement in March, like we're shutting the country down, and we were like, fuck.
[00:14:38]  We were talking to you about it.
[00:14:39]  Like it was in March, February, March, March.
[00:14:41]  Yeah, it was super early.
[00:14:42]  We were like, and that's when we put all the gold bars in the wall to hide it.
[00:14:45]  Oh, I should have said it.
[00:14:47]  I mean, it sounds like my dream.
[00:14:48]  Wait, did we get those?
[00:14:49]  Yeah, they're here.
[00:14:49]  I don't even know what you're talking about.
[00:14:51]  Again, it is an interesting dynamic that like Trump's relatively successful first term was completely train wrecked because of the pandemic and everything that came after it, all the madness.
[00:15:01]  And then basically halfway through a presidency, you're also seeing another story about pandemics.
[00:15:06]  This one seems less likely to take over, but.
[00:15:09]  This isn't the first time, wasn't there?
[00:15:10]  Wasn't there another story in 2024 or something where people were like, oh man.
[00:15:15]  Oh, there was a gay sex bug.
[00:15:16]  I don't know.
[00:15:17]  Oh, yeah, there was a gay sex bug.
[00:15:18]  Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:15:18]  It was a gay sex bug.
[00:15:19]  Oh, the monkey bug.
[00:15:20]  Oh, yeah, monkey bug.
[00:15:21]  Yeah, but that was during Biden.
[00:15:22]  Small children and dogs kept coming down with it.
[00:15:24]  Right, that was so bad.
[00:15:25]  We needed to make that.
[00:15:27]  Well, because as everybody knows, kids and dogs like being friends with monkeys.
[00:15:30]  They won't touch poop.
[00:15:32]  I think that's why.
[00:15:33]  But it was like, watch.
[00:15:34]  Hold on.
[00:15:35]  What if this is Donald Trump being like, we're going to do our own pandemic?
[00:15:39]  We're going to take their idea.
[00:15:40]  Use it against him, but this time he used an actually deadly one.
[00:15:44]  Just to put people at ease, I'm not a doctor, but I have played Plague Inc., and I know that if you want to spread a global virus and you want to spread globally and infect everyone, you don't want to be super deadly.
[00:15:54]  You want to be very infective, but not deadly, so that everyone gets it without knowing they have it, and then you mutate and become deadly.
[00:16:02]  And then everyone's like, ah, I'm stuck.
[00:16:03]  But this thing's already too deadly to start.
[00:16:05]  This one already starts as deadly.
[00:16:06]  That's why you hid gold bars in the walls.
[00:16:10]  My graveyard.
[00:16:10]  Oh, we actually did not.
[00:16:11]  Oh, you didn't?
[00:16:12]  My great aunt was married to a mafia doctor and they lived in Vegas and they literally stacked bills in the walls.
[00:16:19]  Oh, it's a terrible idea.
[00:16:19]  Yeah.
[00:16:20]  Bills are worthless.
[00:16:21]  Here's the thing.
[00:16:21]  That's what they have.
[00:16:22]  Honta virus is not transmissible during incubation.
[00:16:25]  So it's a one to eight week incubation.
[00:16:27]  And if you did somehow get it, it's not contagious until you're symptomatic.
[00:16:31]  And by then, you are seriously ill.
[00:16:35]  Like pneumonia style liquid.
[00:16:36]  Yeah.
[00:16:37]  Like anybody who's played Plague Inc., like Ian mentioned, in order to infect the whole world, it has to be a somewhat negligible, high transmissible virus.
[00:16:46]  If a virus is too deadly, then whether people want to spread it or not, they die and then it stops spreading.
[00:16:52]  Unless the dead bodies can spread it, which is another type of mutation, but it's not real common.
[00:16:56]  What's really funny about Ebola do you know about what happens in Africa with Ebola?
[00:17:02]  I do not.
[00:17:04]  The locals, the indigenous in these countries, believe that the white man is experimenting on them and trying to kill them.
[00:17:12]  So they intentionally break quarantine and bring their sick or break into and grab the sick people and run away.
[00:17:19]  And that's why it's really hard to contain Ebola.
[00:17:21]  Yeah, that makes sense.
[00:17:22]  Yeah.
[00:17:24]  You know, then you also have, like, with South Africa, they think AIDS is magic.
[00:17:27]  They think it's a magical spell that you have to transfer to someone else to curse them.

=== Political Violence and Batman (15:46) ===

[00:17:32]  So they'll stick a needle in their arm and then stick a random person in, like, a tourist with it.
[00:17:38]  They also think that it can be cured by having sex with infants or something.
[00:17:41]  They do.
[00:17:42]  That's why South Africa has the highest instance of.
[00:17:44]  Oh, my gosh.
[00:17:45]  There's also the dry sex, which is what often makes it very prevalent in Africa.
[00:17:50]  So.
[00:17:50]  That dry sex, you don't want to know.
[00:17:52]  Oh, my mind's racing.
[00:17:53]  It involves sand.
[00:17:55]  Oh, okay.
[00:17:56]  Let's just so anyway, the Hanta virus killing people.
[00:17:58]  Oh, that's too bad.
[00:18:00]  I feel these people.
[00:18:01]  Yeah, legit.
[00:18:02]  Like this morning, I saw Mark Hamill was like calling for Trump to die, and I was like, wow, that's crazy.
[00:18:07]  But I don't know how much I care because it's like the 18th celebrity to do it in the past couple of weeks.
[00:18:11]  So, well, you know, I think one thing that happened with that is that we all got kind of immune to celebrities calling for the assassination of the president.
[00:18:20]  And so we stopped really talking about it that much.
[00:18:22]  And I think it's time to start talking about it again.
[00:18:24]  Mark Hamill was calling for the assassination of Donald Trump.
[00:18:27]  You had Justin Pearson in the Tennessee legislature, who's very outspoken, blah, blah, blah.
[00:18:33]  He was calling, he was saying Trump is a domestic terrorist.
[00:18:36]  You have people like that.
[00:18:37]  Let's float up.
[00:18:38]  Let's grab this.
[00:18:39]  So we got this from the Post, a millennial.
[00:18:41]  Mark Hamill deleted his Trump death post and apologized if people found it inappropriate.
[00:18:48]  He posted this picture of Trump, who apparently died two years ago, and it said, if only.
[00:18:54]  It said, if only on it.
[00:18:56]  And then afterwards, he said, he could.
[00:18:58]  What did it say?
[00:18:59]  Like, he would live to be held accountable or something?
[00:19:01]  So the implication was either he is going to die or if only he would die.
[00:19:05]  Right.
[00:19:06]  And that's Mark Hampton.
[00:19:07]  And then I guess what people were calling for a boycott or something.
[00:19:10]  Yeah.
[00:19:10]  We have this story as well.
[00:19:11]  And some other people were calling to boycott the upcoming, what is it, Mandalorian and Grogu?
[00:19:16]  He's in it?
[00:19:17]  I don't know.
[00:19:18]  But I mean, I forgot that movie.
[00:19:20]  Hold on, hold on.
[00:19:20]  Wait, wait, wait.
[00:19:21]  People actually watch that stuff?
[00:19:23]  I don't know.
[00:19:23]  Now, I watched Daredevil season finale and it was fantastic.
[00:19:28]  Okay.
[00:19:29]  And then I watched The Boys.
[00:19:31]  And I got to be honest.
[00:19:32]  You know what?
[00:19:33]  The Boys does really well.
[00:19:34]  If they, here's what I think happens.
[00:19:37]  Last season on The Boys, Frenchie just became gay for some reason.
[00:19:40]  Do you guys watch this?
[00:19:42]  I watch it.
[00:19:43]  The whole show, Frenchie's like trying to mack this Asian chick.
[00:19:47]  And then all of a sudden he's like, oh, so I am gay for some reason, just for like two episodes.
[00:19:51]  And you know what I think it is?
[00:19:53]  The last episode had nothing to do with Trump, nothing to do with Trump or Antifa or anything.
[00:19:58]  I think there's a handful of writers that are just like gooning to being like, yeah, Trump is bad.
[00:20:04]  And so the episodes are.
[00:20:06]  Schizophrenic.
[00:20:07]  So, like yesterday's episode had nothing to do with politics and it was really good.
[00:20:10]  It depends on who's the lead chair.
[00:20:13]  Yeah.
[00:20:13]  Yeah.
[00:20:13]  So, anyway, Matt Kripke is a pretty horrific individual.
[00:20:16]  But who?
[00:20:17]  Kripke, the guy who runs the show.
[00:20:19]  I mean, I stopped watching it in season one.
[00:20:21]  Halfway through, they had to make some incredibly lazy storyline about how the Christian conservatives were the real evil people and they are all secretly gay child molesters.
[00:20:30]  And it's like, oh, so this again, it's all anti Christian.
[00:20:34]  Big surprise.
[00:20:34]  When the episodes don't contain that, it's a really great show.
[00:20:37]  And then when it does, you're like, here we go again.
[00:20:40]  But anyway, my point is Star Wars is trash anyway, and I don't know why anybody would want to watch it at this point.
[00:20:46]  No, me neither.
[00:20:46]  And it's like, it was funny when they came out with the sequels, and Mark Hamill was actually protesting.
[00:20:52]  He was complaining the whole time about how bad they were.
[00:20:55]  And then eventually just goes, yeah, okay, I guess they're good.
[00:20:57]  And it's like, you're a coward.
[00:21:00]  He is, and he hasn't had a decent part other than Skywalker.
[00:21:03]  Oh, he's Joker.
[00:21:04]  Yeah.
[00:21:04]  And he's a memorable Joker.
[00:21:07]  He's the best Joker there ever has been.
[00:21:09]  All that kind of thing.
[00:21:10]  In, in, in, like, All the video games and animated films, animated series for 30 years.
[00:21:15]  He is the best Joker.
[00:21:16]  And it's fascinating, people don't know this.
[00:21:18]  He was a relatively young man when he started voicing the Joker.
[00:21:21]  Hey, you know, full disclosure, I love his acting.
[00:21:24]  I thought he was a little campy.
[00:21:25]  I mean, Mark, you probably think you were campy in Star Wars in the first one because everybody was campy in it.
[00:21:29]  That's how George Wan.
[00:21:30]  In the 70s, that's how it goes.
[00:21:31]  But spectacular actor.
[00:21:33]  Doesn't mean I agree with all your political opinions, brother, but.
[00:21:35]  We all like Heath Ledger's Joker, but that's like a unique thing.
[00:21:38]  In terms of there's a couple, uh, uh, There's really just one Batman and there's really just one joke.
[00:21:46]  Michael Keaton.
[00:21:47]  No.
[00:21:48]  That was my.
[00:21:48]  That's why I was raised on that.
[00:21:49]  Jack Nicholson.
[00:21:50]  Michael Keaton.
[00:21:51]  Incorrect.
[00:21:51]  Kevin Conroy.
[00:21:53]  And Mark Hamill.
[00:21:55]  Who's Kevin?
[00:21:56]  He's also the cartoon Batman.
[00:21:57]  He died.
[00:21:58]  Rest in peace.
[00:21:59]  But for what, 30 years, he was Batman in everything and he had the perfect voice for Batman.
[00:22:04]  Oh, yeah.
[00:22:05]  And Mark Hamill really has the best voice for Batman.
[00:22:07]  He was in Batman Beyond.
[00:22:08]  He was in all the video games.
[00:22:09]  He was in the original cartoon.
[00:22:10]  Dude, it's unquestionably the best voice for Batman.
[00:22:14]  No doubt.
[00:22:15]  But what do you think?
[00:22:16]  The best actor was ever.
[00:22:18]  Most people say it's Christian Bale, I think.
[00:22:19]  Incorrect.
[00:22:19]  Maybe that's because they have only seen Christian Bale and Michael Bale.
[00:22:22]  All of the movie Batmans are just interesting one offs.
[00:22:25]  You know, Kevin Conroy is iconic Batman acting, he nailed it.
[00:22:30]  I believe it.
[00:22:30]  I mean, you're the and again, again, shout out to Mark Hamill that his Joker is the best Joker, it's absolutely incredible.
[00:22:36]  Uh, that being said, he's insane.
[00:22:40]  Well, remember that Disney fired Gina Carano for her comments, right?
[00:22:44]  So, Mark Hamill is not gonna get fired over this obviously because he's like core to the franchise and because Disney obviously agrees with this.
[00:22:50]  So, they absolutely, you know, should lose everything on this.
[00:22:54]  It would be great.
[00:22:54]  That movie was already, as I understand.
[00:22:57]  Considered to be like downscaled when it came to audience size.
[00:23:00]  Like they had already well overspent and were trying to turn down expectations because they knew it wasn't going to do that well.
[00:23:05]  But let's hope this absolutely tanks it because these people are insane.
[00:23:08]  They hate you.
[00:23:08]  They want you dead.
[00:23:10]  It's really sad that conservatives don't have the cultural sticking power to make people pay for this.
[00:23:16]  When Jimmy Kimmel did his monologue on Charlie Kirk's assassination, me and Benny Johnson worked as hard as we could to get that guy fired.
[00:23:23]  And we got him taken off the air for like a week or something, which.
[00:23:27]  It was like.
[00:23:28]  It was like four or five.
[00:23:29]  Right, exactly.
[00:23:30]  Like it wasn't even able to stick.
[00:23:32]  So, even in that moment where like someone had literally been murdered in front of everyone and there was like the most amount of ferocity you would ever see from the conservative movement over it, even in that moment, it was difficult to leverage that for a full cancellation for a guy like Jimmy Kimmel, who's an absolute loser anyway.
[00:23:47]  So, I hate to say that I don't think conservatives are going to make any real hay about this, but they absolutely should.
[00:23:53]  There's no reason you should give people who want to kill you your money.
[00:23:55]  Like you really deserve what you get if you keep doing that.
[00:23:57]  You think it's because he's real quick, he's also got a recurring role in Invincible, which is a massive show.
[00:24:01]  It's just Great.
[00:24:02]  Just launched a new video game.
[00:24:04]  Mark Hamill is Invincible?
[00:24:05]  Yes.
[00:24:06]  Who is he in Invincible?
[00:24:06]  He plays Art Rosenbaum.
[00:24:08]  He plays the costume maker.
[00:24:09]  Oh, yeah, yeah.
[00:24:10]  So it's a bit part.
[00:24:11]  Well, it's not a bit part.
[00:24:12]  It's a recurring role.
[00:24:13]  But come on.
[00:24:14]  It's a key part.
[00:24:15]  I mean, it's.
[00:24:15]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:24:16]  Like he's in all the seasons.
[00:24:17]  I like in Star Wars Episode 4, 5, and 6, you know, the first three, how he became a better actor from into the second one.
[00:24:24]  And then by the third one, like he's embodied this Jedi.
[00:24:27]  Like he truly became.
[00:24:28]  Like the force flowed through Mark Hamill to play Luke Skywalker.
[00:24:32]  I believe that.
[00:24:33]  That was my favorite movie growing up, Return of the Jedi, dude.
[00:24:36]  Oh.
[00:24:37]  That being said, that was all I had to say.
[00:24:39]  Okay.
[00:24:40]  I was going to say something else, but I got sidetracked by how awesome Mark Hamill was in Star Wars.
[00:24:44]  And now he calls for the assassination of the president.
[00:24:47]  And so do most of the people in Hollywood.
[00:24:49]  So you said that they want to kill you.
[00:24:51]  I'm not sure.
[00:24:52]  Are you being hyperbolic, or do you mean like global economic order, banking systems would rather see American citizens dead than deal with them?
[00:24:59]  No, I mean, the left sees our politics are quickly becoming existential in a way that Americans are simply not prepared for.
[00:25:07]  Like, we have this belief that really we just peacefully transfer power and that's how the system works.
[00:25:13]  And it's been true for a while in the United States.
[00:25:16]  But realistically, that's just not over history how politics works.
[00:25:20]  And we're entering a moment in which we have become so divided that there's simply no way that you're going to heal this thing.
[00:25:26]  We're not going to talk it out or have some kind of rational conversation about what's going on.
[00:25:30]  So the left is drawing the very basic conclusion that if they ever lose an election, they basically just need to murder whoever won.
[00:25:37]  Like, that really is their absolute understanding of what's going on here.
[00:25:41]  And they have not received enough of a penalty for their repeated attempts to do so.
[00:25:45]  So it's just going to keep escalating until the right takes it seriously, which they seem pretty determined not to.
[00:25:50]  I need to give some context, too, for a lot of people who just don't understand.
[00:25:52]  Mark Hamill is Luke Skywalker and the Joker.
[00:25:55]  Probably his, I would argue, the Joker is a more iconic role.
[00:26:00]  It was for 30 years he played the Joker in all of these mediums.
[00:26:04]  And a lot of people don't realize this.
[00:26:06]  Number 17, Joker's Answering Machine.
[00:26:09]  Batman the Animated Series.
[00:26:11]  Hey, Bucko.
[00:26:12]  I'd be a little more careful with the luggage if I were you.
[00:26:15]  Otherwise, you might lose your tip.
[00:26:17]  Not to mention your head.
[00:26:19]  Only Mark Hamill's Joker could make an answering machine greeting so terrifying.
[00:26:23]  Anyway, the point is, that was an example of him voicing the Joker.
[00:26:27]  And he's in the video game, and he's got actually some really horrifying lines in the games when they make Joker actually murder people and stuff like that.
[00:26:34]  Yeah.
[00:26:35]  But anyway, back to your point.
[00:26:36]  Sorry for, we can go back to these people cannot, we cannot reconcile our differences and they want to kill us.
[00:26:40]  So you were saying?
[00:26:41]  I spend a lot of time with like moderate liberals.
[00:26:44]  So I think that's why when I'm around liberal people, they're usually pretty moderate.
[00:26:47]  So I don't see the extreme that you have noticed or like, you see the scale.
[00:26:51]  You tend to see things in scales, I think, too, like historically.
[00:26:54]  Well, there was this fascinating thing the other day where Stephen Colbert was interviewing Obama and they were talking about if Mamdani is the future of the Democrat Party.
[00:27:02]  And they agreed that, you know, he probably is.
[00:27:05]  And Colbert said something really fascinating, which was he said, My kids come up to me and they say, Dad, you're a liberal.
[00:27:12]  We're leftists.
[00:27:13]  Yeah.
[00:27:14]  And I think that's what we're, yeah.
[00:27:15]  Yeah.
[00:27:15]  Everyone is radicalizing.
[00:27:16]  There is no center anymore.
[00:27:17]  It's being torn apart.
[00:27:19]  And that's not a mistake.
[00:27:20]  That is both the natural gradient that the dialectic is going to take and the intentional way it's being pushed by.
[00:27:26]  Many different actors.
[00:27:27]  There was just a piece in Compact Magazine.
[00:27:29]  They were the people who did that piece about basically how all the white guys had been frozen out of hiring in media and corporations.
[00:27:36]  And they did a follow up piece on medical stuff.
[00:27:38]  And basically, it's this guy talking about coming in after the day that Charlie Kirk got shot.
[00:27:43]  And basically, all of the nurses, all of the doctors are just laughing, celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, talking about how he deserved it.
[00:27:50]  What a fascist, what a white supremacist.
[00:27:52]  These are the people who are responsible for your medical care.
[00:27:54]  They're the people who have you under the knife.
[00:27:56]  And if they find out you're conservative, What happens next?
[00:27:59]  Like, people do not understand how deep this runs.
[00:28:02]  Well, conservatives are unwilling to use power.
[00:28:04]  What I will say is, in the redistricting fight, it looks surprisingly like the conservatives are actually fighting, right?
[00:28:10]  Finally.
[00:28:11]  Much better.
[00:28:11]  Yeah, I mean, the Supreme Court justices fighting.
[00:28:13]  I was actually surprised by that.
[00:28:15]  Well, Clarence Thomas is such a.
[00:28:16]  But Alito and Thomas always have, but the other conservative justices have finally gotten on board with it.
[00:28:21]  And it's like, hey, maybe Brett Kavanaugh realized they would actually kill him and his family this time.
[00:28:25]  I think the Trump admin is probably concerned with biting the trap.
[00:28:29]  That the communists will lay out, which is like Saul Winsky's rule for radicals.
[00:28:34]  You want the opponent to become the fascist by cracking down on your street violence so that you can rally your communist allies to say, See, we told you they are fascist.
[00:28:42]  Now we need a communist revolution.
[00:28:43]  So we talk about that on this show.
[00:28:45]  I hope there's people in the Trump admin that watch this show and have understood that rule.
[00:28:50]  That's a basic radical leftist rule.
[00:28:52]  So that's why I think they're not slamming down hard with hard power and they're doing things like USAID and unraveling things behind the scenes.
[00:29:00]  I disagree significantly.
[00:29:02]  If you look at history, if you look at something like the Spanish Civil War and the escalation going into it, it was the fact that the right wing, that the standing government was not willing to deal with what was going on.
[00:29:13]  The continuous assassination of right wingers is actually what eventually drove people towards someone like Francisco Franco to solve the problem.
[00:29:22]  So if you crack down early and hard, you end up in a scenario where people don't believe they can get away with violence and you don't see the spiral of escalation.
[00:29:29]  But when you allow that, you build this basically broken window scenario.
[00:29:33]  I'm sure you're familiar with.
[00:29:34]  Broken windows policing, the idea that if you allow these in your neighborhood, it's only going to get worse because people see it's allowable and they don't care to take care of the thing around them.
[00:29:43]  Same thing is true with political violence.
[00:29:45]  Once you recognize that political violence is on the table, it becomes the only option.
[00:29:49]  It becomes the superior strategy in every scenario.
[00:29:52]  So if you don't nip it in the bud, if you don't secure the monopoly on violence as the state, someone else will do violence.
[00:29:57]  And if you allow these radical leftists to do it, it will only get worse.
[00:30:01]  Well, and we're in a situation now where people who follow the laws are held accountable to the laws.
[00:30:06]  And if you don't follow the laws, And you're just a criminal, you're not held accountable at all.
[00:30:10]  We've seen so many people and so many stories of people getting off after committing rapes or murders or really vile things, being said that they are not mentally capable to stand trial, but for some reason they're mentally capable to wander around society and kill people.
[00:30:25]  Yeah, San Francisco called this anarcho tyranny.
[00:30:27]  And again, it's an intentional strategy.
[00:30:30]  This is not a mistake.
[00:30:31]  When you recognize that you can leverage the lower classes against the middle class that actually have the power to change things, the capital, the votes, the organization.
[00:30:40]  You can actually destroy all of your up and coming opponents while maintaining your own power as an elite.
[00:30:45]  So, this is actually a surprisingly active strategy.
[00:30:49]  It's not some mistake because our elites are stupid.
[00:30:52]  No, it's effective and intentional.
[00:30:54]  The elite class will mobilize the lower class to attack the middle class.
[00:30:59]  Yes.
[00:31:00]  High and low versus middle.
[00:31:03]  You always kill the landowners.
[00:31:05]  You always kill the kulaks.
[00:31:07]  You always kill the people in the middle because they're the only people who can ascend.
[00:31:10]  They're the only people who have the money, the strategy, the leisure time.
[00:31:13]  To organize politically and fight back against the higher class.
[00:31:16]  Lower classes are never able to do that.
[00:31:17]  They're always a tool of elites that are able to organize for them.
[00:31:20]  So, what's this phenomenon of like rich kids that join Antifa?
[00:31:24]  They're the elites who are controlling the lower classes.
[00:31:27]  It's the same thing.
[00:31:27]  Oh, was that?
[00:31:28]  I wasn't in?
[00:31:28]  I wasn't in?
[00:31:29]  I thought I was sitting here going like this.
[00:31:30]  Yeah, I was trying to angle out.
[00:31:32]  Like, if you look at Mamdani, right?
[00:31:33]  Mamdani's a rich kid.
[00:31:35]  His parents are, you know, internationally wealthy.
[00:31:38]  They naturalize and deport.
[00:31:39]  And all of this stuff.
[00:31:40]  And they've got their compound in Uganda, so they can try to get right back.
[00:31:44]  But he's mobilizing.
[00:31:45]  The lower classes against the middle.
[00:31:47]  And that's why you even have black middle class homeowners in New York City being like, What the hell are you doing?
[00:31:51]  I think.
[00:31:51]  Why are you depriving us of our wealth that we.
[00:31:54]  In any functioning country, the moment Mom Dhani said that he would defy the will of the American voters to protect illegal immigrants in this country, the federal government would intervene, issue emergency management, some kind of like Reconstruction era move.
[00:32:10]  But I don't know if we have any kind of real strength in our political class.
[00:32:16]  I don't know if Donald Trump has the strength for this kind of thing.
[00:32:19]  I can't imagine they're unaware of it.
[00:32:21]  I mean, Harmite Dillon especially has to be aware of it.
[00:32:24]  Well, she's working hard at this.
[00:32:26]  She just brought, she's working against UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine or whatever it is right now.
[00:32:33]  And she said that she found that they were absolutely discriminating against white and Asian students.
[00:32:38]  And she's, you know, working to hold them accountable for that.
[00:32:41]  But after Mamdani, I had a similar thought.
[00:32:43]  I was like, you know, Trump's going to have to do something about this.
[00:32:45]  This is crazy.
[00:32:46]  We've got this socialist running our biggest and most important city.
[00:32:50]  And instead, Mom Dhani was invited into the halls of power to pallet the other powerful guy.
[00:32:55]  And it was just like, oh, look, two powerful people are in control and we get nothing.
[00:32:59]  It's not about the Asian stuff or the affirmative action, whatever.
[00:33:03]  That's a culture war thing.
[00:33:05]  What Mom Dhani represented when he campaigned explicitly on, I know what the American people have voted for and I will weaponize the wealth and resources of this city against them.

=== Daredevil Mayor Sedition Plot (05:22) ===

[00:33:19]  That is a, that person should be charged with sedition.
[00:33:23]  Instead, Trump invites him to the White House.
[00:33:26]  Well, he, I think because he just said he was going to do it.
[00:33:29]  And he is doing it.
[00:33:30]  He is.
[00:33:30]  He said it again.
[00:33:31]  He said it again.
[00:33:31]  But saying it, saying I'm going to do a crime is not illegal.
[00:33:35]  No, no, no.
[00:33:36]  Sedition is when you ex, you can speak sedition.
[00:33:41]  But saying I'm going to prevent you from doing something lawful, I don't think that's enough.
[00:33:45]  You got to actually, they're probably watching him now and they're like, okay, when he does it, get him.
[00:33:48]  But no, they're not.
[00:33:49]  No, sedition is when you rally people to corrupt the government.
[00:33:54]  So we've actually dealt with this multiple times in our nation's history.
[00:33:56]  We called this the nullification crisis.
[00:33:59]  Because there was a question as to whether or not the state legislatures had to enforce federal law, whether they could choose to basically ignore it because they were sovereign entities under the Constitution.
[00:34:09]  And Andrew Jackson basically said, Yeah, you're going to do what I tell you to do and threaten to use serious force.
[00:34:15]  But this was an open question for a long time in America.
[00:34:18]  It was supposed to be resolved after the nullification crisis.
[00:34:21]  But it turns out that most of the time it's one side that gets away with basically ignoring the law.
[00:34:27]  I mean, how long did we have sanctuary cities in the United States?
[00:34:30]  Flagrant violations of law, obvious instance of nullification.
[00:34:33]  No one did anything about it.
[00:34:34]  We've had them since Vietnam.
[00:34:35]  Absolutely.
[00:34:36]  And then the right, when they came, are in those situations, never do anything like that.
[00:34:40]  So now, recently, you have again, no vacation with Mamdani holding a press conference saying, We will not comply with federal law enforcement on immigration.
[00:34:48]  So here's a guy who campaigns saying, If you vote for me, vote for me in this city, I will fight against the American people.
[00:34:56]  That's what he said explicitly.
[00:34:58]  Well, I'm paraphrasing.
[00:34:59]  We're doing it against the federal government, against the federal government.
[00:35:01]  No, against the American people.
[00:35:02]  Well, not every American person.
[00:35:03]  The American people voted on a top issue, which was immigration, with even black voters in Chicago saying, We are being replaced.
[00:35:11]  Donald Trump wins the plurality with a mandate.
[00:35:14]  The people want immigration enforced.
[00:35:17]  Mamdani went to New Yorkers and said, Vote for me and I will fight them.
[00:35:19]  I will stop them.
[00:35:21]  And he's actively been doing it.
[00:35:23]  He should be criminally charged with sedition for this.
[00:35:25]  Instead, Trump invites him to the White House and says, Oh, I like him.
[00:35:28]  And they're pals.
[00:35:29]  And Mamdani has said that he gives Trump a call, you know, and the two of them love New York City.
[00:35:33]  And so they want to do what's best for the city.
[00:35:36]  But you have him also extorting Kathy Hochul.
[00:35:38]  Like there's billions more dollars in the New York State budget for New York City this year than there was last year.
[00:35:45]  All of his programs are these like deep entrenched.
[00:35:48]  Social programs, and once they're in place, it's going to be really hard to get rid of them.
[00:35:51]  No, I really, I really love how Daredevil season two.
[00:35:55]  You know what?
[00:35:56]  Actually, this is really interesting.
[00:35:58]  The boys this season accidentally like crop dusted reality with Trump, and Daredevil is accidentally crop dusting with Mondani.
[00:36:10]  So, have you guys watched the boys or Daredevil season?
[00:36:14]  Daredevil Born Again season two?
[00:36:15]  Not the second season.
[00:36:16]  I saw the first one.
[00:36:17]  So, the boys, of course, is.
[00:36:20]  Somewhat frustrating in that they really just ham it up like Trump, you know, is Homelander.
[00:36:25]  And it's kind of weird to be like Trump is Superman as an insult, seriously.
[00:36:29]  So they just make him an asshole and it's like, okay.
[00:36:31]  But they had an episode of The Boys where Homelander hallucinates this woman he used to suckle on, literally suckle on, because they're obsessed with it.
[00:36:42]  And he says, I'm, it's like she floats to him as an angel, has a vision, and he says, I'm the savior, I'm the messiah, or whatever.
[00:36:50]  And Trump put out that meme.
[00:36:52]  And everybody was like, this is really weird.
[00:36:54]  And then you actually have in one of the later episodes, again, these episodes are written and filmed before everything, where they're talking about efforts taken by Homelander, who's manipulating the president, are going to cause a spike in oil prices, and OPEC will revolt, and it's going to cut off the West.
[00:37:12]  So the US is now ramping up oil production, and they're building an oil pipeline.
[00:37:16]  And I'm like, you know, here's the thing Daredevil season two is about Kingpin, a charismatic criminal.
[00:37:24]  Rallies all the people and they all support him.
[00:37:26]  They vote for him.
[00:37:27]  He becomes despotic.
[00:37:29]  I don't want spoiler alert, I guess.
[00:37:33]  Goes to war with the governor, threatens her, and makes demands from her.
[00:37:35]  She refuses, tries to have her assassinated.
[00:37:37]  Again, I'm not suggesting someone's doing those things, but it is interesting how Daredevil season two is about a corrupt mayor taking over, claiming he loves the city, and threatening the governor and then trying to kill her.
[00:37:49]  And then Daredevil has to fight the mayor.
[00:37:51]  And I'm like, you know, now what I will say is the cops.
[00:37:56]  Are actually not the bad guys.
[00:37:58]  There's a rogue task force.
[00:38:00]  So we're not really there yet.
[00:38:03]  But I did very much enjoy Daredevil season two.
[00:38:05]  They're not doing like a Trump thing.
[00:38:07]  Kingpin is Kingpin.
[00:38:08]  He has his own armed force with illegal weapons that they brought in, and the cops stand against him in the end.
[00:38:15]  But I just thought it was funny that, you know, these two shows are kind of, you know, although they'll probably argue, no, no, Zorhan Mamdani's the good guy.
[00:38:23]  I'm like, yeah, no.
[00:38:25]  No, he's definitely not the good guy.
[00:38:28]  Definitely not.
[00:38:30]  How much of it is it that Zorhan Mamdani is just cognitively impaired?
[00:38:35]  I don't think he's at all cognitively impaired.
[00:38:37]  I think that he is, everything that he's doing is intentional and on purpose.

=== Courts Define Communism Laws (16:07) ===

[00:38:41]  And that he is seeking to create New York City as some sort of socialist utopia where everyone relies on the government for everything from transportation to food to employment to healthcare to childcare to anything else he can come up with.
[00:38:55]  That's the plan.
[00:38:56]  The plan is to deprive Americans of their rights by replacing liberty with ease.
[00:39:01]  And, you know, people are so uneducated at this point with a sixth grade education that they're going to go along with it.
[00:39:08]  And so the failure is going back to the educational system where no one has learned civics, no one has learned.
[00:39:13]  About our founding documents.
[00:39:15]  Very few have, you know.
[00:39:16]  I mean, my son has for sure, but that's because he's inquisitive and me and his dad teach him all that stuff.
[00:39:23]  But yeah, that's what's going to happen.
[00:39:25]  And by the time Americans are completely deprived of their liberty and they have what they think is an easy life and they're thoroughly controlled, it's going to be way too late.
[00:39:33]  Well, and this is also why you're getting lots of mass immigration, right?
[00:39:36]  Because again, it's low and high versus the middle.
[00:39:39]  Not only do you have these students who aren't learning about it, you have a lot of immigrants who come in who just have no connection to the tradition.
[00:39:43]  They're not familiar with the history.
[00:39:45]  They don't have these expectations.
[00:39:46]  And what they walk in is like, well, even a bad life in America is way better than the life I had back there.
[00:39:51]  So I'll do and vote for, you know, do whatever Democrats say.
[00:39:53]  I'll vote for whatever they want because they're going to give me stuff.
[00:39:56]  And I don't have that back home.
[00:39:57]  And I certainly don't have it now that I've moved here.
[00:39:59]  So you're basically moving in an entire underclass yet again that you can use to leverage against existing Americans that might be able to oppose what you're doing.
[00:40:06]  And to leverage against our values.
[00:40:07]  Absolutely.
[00:40:08]  There's no off ramp, right?
[00:40:11]  With the redistricting war, we're seeing hyper polarization, but there is a solution.
[00:40:16]  Artificial intelligence surveillance.
[00:40:18]  You either hook the electrode to the brain and stimulate the dopamine until they don't work anymore, or you track them with AI surveillance and remove them from the equation before they can become a problem.
[00:40:30]  Illegal immigrants or just.
[00:40:32]  Oh, no, I'm saying if you were the powers that be and you were like, uh oh, we brought in all these immigrants and now there's going to be a civil war, you say, okay, blast out AI.
[00:40:41]  So the people who fall into the AI trap and just basically self gratify all day will disappear.
[00:40:46]  Anybody who tries to stand up will track with mass surveillance and then just remove them on some fake.
[00:40:51]  Your face was identified by a camera.
[00:40:53]  Oh, and they'll give you all kinds of stuff for that.
[00:40:55]  And that is in no way a conspiracy theory.
[00:40:56]  That's literally what's happening.
[00:40:57]  It's just what's happening.
[00:40:58]  All of our tech oligarchs are running towards the solution.
[00:41:01]  This is why every single guy is currently obsessed with AI because they know this is the only way they continue to rule at scale.
[00:41:08]  It's the only way they can control the population.
[00:41:09]  Don't you want to just like put on the VR headset and go to a world exactly as you would describe it?
[00:41:14]  Well, and we've already, you know, putting kill switches in every car in the United States is the current plan that both.
[00:41:20]  Parties are for some reason rubber stamping.
[00:41:22]  So it's very, let me ask you, I'm so against it.
[00:41:26]  Our ancestors fought over tea taxes.
[00:41:29]  Yes.
[00:41:29]  And we're just going willingly.
[00:41:31]  Yes.
[00:41:32]  Let me ask you let's say, you know, like one day government dudes, men in black, show up to your house or whatever, and they're like, you know, you're a problem for what we're doing.
[00:41:42]  So we're going to give you a choice.
[00:41:44]  You can stop doing politics and we'll pay you.
[00:41:49]  Just never do politics again.
[00:41:51]  Disappear.
[00:41:52]  Here's a VR helmet.
[00:41:53]  You can put it on, play video games all day, order pizza, or solitary confinement and merciless beatings.
[00:42:00]  Which would you pick?
[00:42:01]  I mean, the option is go down shooting, right?
[00:42:03]  Like at that point, there's no reason to live in a virtual world.
[00:42:06]  Like, there's nothing real there.
[00:42:08]  There's no.
[00:42:08]  Well, I don't mean literally.
[00:42:09]  I'm saying, like, we'll pay you to shut up.
[00:42:11]  Yeah, no.
[00:42:12]  I'm saying, like, play video games all day.
[00:42:13]  Here's money.
[00:42:13]  You'll have a salary.
[00:42:14]  You can just go away and let us take over.
[00:42:16]  Well, our sci fi authors told us about this already.
[00:42:19]  You know, we have Fahrenheit 451.
[00:42:22]  I'm dedicated to being the house on the street that doesn't have the blue light coming from it.
[00:42:27]  You know what?
[00:42:27]  You know what?
[00:42:27]  You know what we should do?
[00:42:28]  You know what I want to do?
[00:42:29]  I want to launch an advertising firm.
[00:42:32]  And then I just want to just offer money to various political commentators for what, Seemingly, it would be like normal products just to see who would take it.
[00:42:40]  And the products will always be like, you know, this is a really good idea, actually.
[00:42:43]  This would be a great culture jam.
[00:42:46]  You know, with the animal farm thing, we saw a ton of conservatives shill for communism because they were paid to do it.
[00:42:51]  But it would be funny to do the inverse to liberals and some more conservatives, too.
[00:42:54]  I'd love to wrap them all up.
[00:42:56]  And then you like launch a product where it seems somewhat normal, like, you know, it's a face cream and it's like, yeah, it's like to clear up your acne, it's like organic.
[00:43:05]  But then it turns out it's made with like aborted baby parts.
[00:43:07]  And it's like, see how many conservatives would sell that.
[00:43:09]  They'd probably all do it.
[00:43:10]  Well, they wouldn't notice.
[00:43:12]  They wouldn't look into it.
[00:43:13]  They wouldn't.
[00:43:13]  Would you put on the website be like, made with a board baby parcel?
[00:43:15]  It's funny, I don't know.
[00:43:15]  That whole thing where you were going against the animal farm, my son was like, why does Tim hate this animal farm?
[00:43:21]  What's up with it?
[00:43:22]  And I told him the whole thing, and he was like, oh.
[00:43:24]  And then he comes home yesterday.
[00:43:26]  He's like, so I watched the 1958 animal farm.
[00:43:30]  It was really good.
[00:43:31]  He went and found the old one.
[00:43:32]  Well, that was made by the CIA.
[00:43:33]  The old one?
[00:43:34]  Yeah, the cartoon.
[00:43:35]  Interesting.
[00:43:35]  Yeah.
[00:43:35]  Yeah, because they were like, hey, look, communism is bad.
[00:43:37]  Everybody watch.
[00:43:38]  And it bombed.
[00:43:39]  Like people didn't care.
[00:43:40]  Well, it worked.
[00:43:41]  My son came home and said communism is.
[00:43:43]  So let me ask you guys this.
[00:43:45]  Would you be happy if the government started funding anti communist propaganda?
[00:43:51]  Like, let's say Donald Trump was like, we're going to be launching a new media division, a billion dollars in grants for content creators.
[00:43:58]  And then they gave Seamus Coughlin like $10 million to make cartoons.
[00:44:02]  It depends on how they do it.
[00:44:03]  Because I really don't like when people say, I hate communists.
[00:44:07]  Communists are the problem.
[00:44:08]  Because I think communism is the problem.
[00:44:11]  If it was to move to educate people about the dangers of communism, I'm in.
[00:44:14]  I feel like they've spent a lot more money on stuff that we don't need.
[00:44:19]  But to the question, would you be upset if Donald Trump said we're going to allocate public funding towards anti communist propaganda?
[00:44:24]  Absolutely not.
[00:44:25]  We already allocate massive amounts of funding to communist propaganda at public schools.
[00:44:30]  So, yeah, I know it would be nice to have a little bit of a switch up there.
[00:44:32]  Yeah, I mean, I'd like to see an end to the propagandist funding of our textbooks, making them pro Islam and all the rest of it.
[00:44:39]  I'd rather see anti communist propaganda than anything else.
[00:44:43]  That being said, I'd rather just have.
[00:44:45]  Good schools where people can learn how to think for themselves and how to form.
[00:44:49]  What if, how would you feel about Trump announcing he was going to be enforcing the ban on communism, which is still law?
[00:44:56]  I don't know what that looks like.
[00:44:58]  What would a ban on communism be?
[00:44:59]  Yeah, somebody who is an avowed communist can no longer run for office, disqualified from office.
[00:45:04]  They can't, they're exceptions to the Civil Rights Act.
[00:45:09]  I mean, I think it's fair.
[00:45:11]  If you're an avowed monarchist, you shouldn't be running for public office in the United States.
[00:45:15]  Say, you're allowed to be king.
[00:45:17]  What was the law called?
[00:45:18]  I don't remember what was this, McCarthy?
[00:45:21]  The communism bill.
[00:45:22]  This was like the McCarthy stuff.
[00:45:23]  Yeah, you know that communists are exempt from the Civil Rights Act, right?
[00:45:26]  I mean, I believe that communists shouldn't have civil rights.
[00:45:28]  That's entirely possible.
[00:45:29]  So, if you are, according to the law, and again, this is why I say the law is meaningless.
[00:45:33]  What matters is the willingness of a people to exert authority.
[00:45:37]  It was Josie that actually went viral on X for posting this.
[00:45:41]  The law, I believe the Civil Rights Act actually has an exemption for communists.
[00:45:46]  That means if you're a communist and you go to like a bakery, And some guy is like, hey, you know, you're a particular religion, get out.
[00:45:53]  He goes, hey, you can't tell me that's a violation of the Civil Rights Act.
[00:45:56]  They go, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[00:45:57]  You're a communist?
[00:45:58]  Okay, no protections.
[00:45:59]  Well, communism isn't a religion, it's an ideology.
[00:46:02]  No, no, no, but you have no protections for any reason if you are protected class plus communist.
[00:46:08]  So if they're like, women aren't allowed in here, you go, that's not allowed.
[00:46:11]  And go, actually, I can kick you up because you're a communist.
[00:46:13]  Because I'm a commie.
[00:46:14]  Yeah.
[00:46:14]  Well, communism is not, you got to teach, I think, every generation about communism because it comes from just a general human.
[00:46:20]  Communism Control Act of 1954.
[00:46:22]  It comes from this human instinct of we together are strong, which is true.
[00:46:26]  We're communal animals, communal leading towards.
[00:46:29]  And, but so people say, if we come together, we can, Overcome the problem, which is also true.
[00:46:34]  But then what happens?
[00:46:35]  A small group of people are still in control.
[00:46:38]  It's called vanguardism.
[00:46:39]  There are no communist governments.
[00:46:40]  They're all vanguardists.
[00:46:41]  The Chinese, the Soviets, they were vanguardists.
[00:46:43]  So this is actually a really interesting problem.
[00:46:46]  James Burnham wrote a book called The Managerial Revolution.
[00:46:50]  And basically, what he was trying to explain is that communism, fascism, and yes, even liberal democracy were all basically converging on the same system of managerialism, the elite vanguard that you're describing there.
[00:47:02]  And so what we're really Talking about is not the issue of communism.
[00:47:05]  What we're talking about is the issue of high scale centralized governments in a managerial process.
[00:47:11]  And that's why it reliably produces the same outcome.
[00:47:13]  People say, oh, fascism and communism are the same thing.
[00:47:17]  Well, kind of, because they're actually all trying to deal with the same problem, which is mass consumption, mass production, the creation of kind of the Industrial Revolution and modern capitalism.
[00:47:27]  They're all reactions to that.
[00:47:29]  And so if you don't understand it in that historical framework, you don't really get what the problem with communism is.
[00:47:34]  Yeah, the economic.
[00:47:35]  Issues of communism are real.
[00:47:37]  What you're really looking at is the problem of scale, something that we still are not capable of dealing with.
[00:47:42]  And so it produces these perverse ideological incentives that work themselves out reliably in systems like communism.
[00:47:47]  Yeah, I got to issue a correction.
[00:47:49]  So it's specifically that communist members of communist organizations that were subject to registration.
[00:47:55]  So these are communist action organizations, front organizations.
[00:47:59]  And I believe I actually have a list of what defines the organization.
[00:48:03]  They're officially on paper saying Communist Party of the United States, any successors of such party, regardless of assumed name.
[00:48:09]  Whose objective purpose is to overthrow the government of the United States or the government of any state, territory, district, or possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein by force, are not entitled to any rights, privileges, and immunities attended upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof.
[00:48:26]  And whatever rights, privileges, and immunities which have heretofore been granted to said party or any subsidiary organization by reason of the laws of the United States shall be terminated.
[00:48:36]  Blah, So basically, Donald Trump.
[00:48:39]  He could literally be like, Are you a communist?
[00:48:42]  Like the DSA, for instance.
[00:48:44]  Any subsequent successors of the Communist Party.
[00:48:48]  And then he could be like, Okay, you now have no rights under the United States at all.
[00:48:52]  That would be probably too far because they're socialists, not technically communists.
[00:48:56]  Yeah, but that's how you get to communism.
[00:48:57]  But that's immaterial.
[00:48:59]  But that's like speeding the grass is how you get to speeding.
[00:49:01]  Zorhan Mamdani brought a woman on his campaign and says, Hire more, elect more communists.
[00:49:05]  And Zorhan Mamdani himself has posts about being a communist, but then just says, I'm a socialist.
[00:49:10]  It's a meaningless distinction to these people.
[00:49:11]  I think that it doesn't matter, however, because the law says any successor thereof.
[00:49:15]  On paper.
[00:49:16]  Yeah, on paper.
[00:49:16]  They have to write down, I'm part of a thing.
[00:49:18]  Incorrect.
[00:49:19]  That's not what you said.
[00:49:20]  They have to be titled that they've joined a thing of communism.
[00:49:23]  They can't just say, I'm a communist and lose all of it.
[00:49:25]  Yeah, you weren't listening to what I just read.
[00:49:27]  Well, I was.
[00:49:27]  Maybe I didn't understand it.
[00:49:29]  Perhaps that's what it is.
[00:49:30]  The law that I just read says, any successor of the Communist Party.
[00:49:35]  That's ill defined.
[00:49:36]  Trump could just say.
[00:49:37]  No, not on paper.
[00:49:38]  But I think it's saying that a successor of the Communist Party, meaning like.
[00:49:42]  Regardless of assumed name.
[00:49:46]  Well, hey, me.
[00:49:47]  My point is this the law doesn't matter.
[00:49:50]  We have the VRA, we have Section 2, and I'll have to hear your thoughts on this.
[00:49:57]  The Voting Rights Act says no discrimination based on race in voting.
[00:50:00]  So in 1965, the courts go, okay, this means you have to make all black districts.
[00:50:06]  Today, under the exact same language, the Supreme Court says, no, no, that means you can't make all black districts.
[00:50:11]  It's the same law with inverted meaning.
[00:50:14]  So the point is, Trump could look at this law and say, the DSA is a successor party of the Communist Party.
[00:50:21]  Anybody who says their DSA has just forfeited all rights.
[00:50:25]  Yeah, this is a constant part of the Civil Rights Act, actually.
[00:50:28]  So originally, when it was written, it said explicitly, For instance, that you couldn't privilege people due to the race or specifically draw lines when it comes to outcomes.
[00:50:36]  And then a few years later, the courts ruled in Griggs versus Duke Power that you could create this disparate impact test.
[00:50:44]  And if there's any disparate impact between the races, even if you can't prove there was racism, you are by default violating the Civil Rights Act and it's therefore racist.
[00:50:53]  So this has been the case with the Civil Rights Act forever.
[00:50:54]  They just rewrite it whenever they want to.
[00:50:56]  It doesn't mean anything.
[00:50:59]  In 2022, 23, 24, They raided Donald Trump's home, falsely accused him of crimes, falsely accused him of civil fraud.
[00:51:09]  They arrested his lawyers for providing legal service.
[00:51:14]  They sued Texas to block them from being able to redistrict.
[00:51:18]  They locked up all of the J 6ers, many in solitary confinement for years, some who did literal nothing.
[00:51:25]  Owen Schroyer, who never even walked in the building.
[00:51:28]  And you're saying, no, it's going too far.
[00:51:30]  Well, no, I'm just saying.
[00:51:31]  I'm reading about it right now.
[00:51:32]  The DSA was formed in 1982, and it was a merger of two left wing organizations, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee.
[00:51:37]  And the new American movement.
[00:51:39]  So it wasn't a subsidiary of the communist party.
[00:51:42]  That has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
[00:51:43]  The law says if it comes from like a subsidiary or a word of.
[00:51:47]  Successor.
[00:51:48]  Successor to the communist party.
[00:51:50]  This was not.
[00:51:50]  This is a new formation of a different ideology.
[00:51:52]  I don't think you understand what we're talking about.
[00:51:54]  The point that we are making is that the law is what the person with power decides it is.
[00:51:59]  Of course, it's interpretable by the courts.
[00:52:01]  Yes.
[00:52:02]  Indeed.
[00:52:02]  You could just say the DSA is a successor to the communist party.
[00:52:04]  Well, I would disagree with that statement.
[00:52:06]  I asked you a question, Ian.
[00:52:07]  What's the question?
[00:52:08]  They arrested Trump.
[00:52:08]  They raided his home.
[00:52:09]  They targeted his family.
[00:52:10]  They arrested his lawyers.
[00:52:11]  They put Jay Sixers.
[00:52:12]  In solitary confinement for years for trespass.
[00:52:14]  Owen Schroer went to prison, didn't even enter the building, and they went at sentencing.
[00:52:18]  They said he deserved a longer sentence because he had criticized them in the time between.
[00:52:24]  What point is too far for you?
[00:52:26]  2012?
[00:52:29]  I was pushed too far in 2012 when Obama wanted to sign us onto the TPP.
[00:52:32]  I've already been pushed too far, Tim.
[00:52:34]  So I disagree because your argument is that Trump should not do anything on TV.
[00:52:39]  My argument is a lot of that stuff, yeah.
[00:52:40]  But what do you, I mean, I'm about as radical as it comes, dude.
[00:52:43]  Okay, so Donald Trump should go arrest communists.
[00:52:44]  I'm not saying that.
[00:52:46]  Right, because they haven't gone too far for that.
[00:52:47]  Because we're on TV and I don't talk about that kind of stuff on TV, bro, because we're subverting the world economic order.
[00:52:52]  Like, what do you want to.
[00:52:53]  What?
[00:52:54]  We're trying to preserve American freedom, man.
[00:52:56]  You can't just overtly say it.
[00:52:57]  You got to do it.
[00:52:58]  What?
[00:52:59]  Yes, Trump should go arrest these people.
[00:53:00]  I'm not.
[00:53:01]  I don't.
[00:53:01]  I don't.
[00:53:03]  I mean, depends on who.
[00:53:05]  So, Ram, Mom's on it.
[00:53:06]  Mom is a lot of these arrests.
[00:53:07]  Okay, let's say Comey, for instance.
[00:53:09]  What's he going to get out of an arrest of Comey?
[00:53:11]  I don't know.
[00:53:11]  Are they just emotional satisfaction?
[00:53:13]  What?
[00:53:14]  So, let's go back to the original point of the conversation.
[00:53:17]  Zorhan Mamdani campaigned on fighting the American people.
[00:53:22]  The American people said, hey, we shouldn't have illegal immigration.
[00:53:25]  And Zorhan Mamdani says, I will stop them.
[00:53:28]  Okay, that is seditious.
[00:53:32]  I mean, he's crossing the line.
[00:53:33]  My take if I was in charge, if I was the president and a mayor said that, I would have mass surveillance on that guy 24 7.
[00:53:40]  And if he makes a move that's actually illegal.
[00:53:43]  He did.
[00:53:44]  Well, a big.
[00:53:46]  I'm not going to charge him and then get the charges dropped.
[00:53:50]  I got a question for you, Arn.
[00:53:51]  Do you think.
[00:53:51]  Do you think that Trump and his administration are cognizant of these things, but they're playing strategically?
[00:53:57]  I think they're aware, and I'm with you, that the Trump administration should be far more aggressive and far more creative with its use of the law and power.
[00:54:06]  I will say one thing, however, that is a huge stumbling block.
[00:54:09]  The thing that Biden and Obama and all these people have going for them is that all of the system already aligns with what they want to do and what they want to believe.
[00:54:17]  So the reason that it feels like guys like Obama or Biden are ultimately more powerful when they're in office.
[00:54:23]  Isn't because they gained any kind of new ability by taking over that office.
[00:54:27]  You know, the Article II of the Constitution didn't change.
[00:54:29]  What happens is all the other branches of government, all the other mechanisms, all of the bureaucracy is already aligned with them.
[00:54:36]  And so they just move in that direction and allow them to do whatever they want to do.
[00:54:39]  When Trump's in office, all of that machinery is pushing against it.
[00:54:42]  So I think the administration is doing its best to try to turn that ship.
[00:54:45]  I think that's why you're seeing Army Dillon and others kind of doing good work.

=== Black Heritage and Slavery (15:02) ===

[00:54:48]  But half of her office won't work for her, even now, after so many people have been fired or left, because They just hate the Republicans and they're going to dig in and do that.
[00:54:57]  Same thing with the FBI.
[00:54:58]  We've already seen Dan Bongino more or less tell us that the FBI wasn't really working for Trump or a good percentage of them weren't.
[00:55:05]  They are not under the control of the government.
[00:55:06]  So technically, the Republicans won that election.
[00:55:08]  Technically, Trump is in power.
[00:55:10]  But when you look at the actual mechanisms of government, they don't have access to the same thing.
[00:55:14]  And so I don't think they can use the law the same way that the left has, even though I think they should do the most they can.
[00:55:20]  Should Trump run for a third term?
[00:55:23]  No.
[00:55:23]  I mean, at that point, let's just.
[00:55:25]  You know, skip over the formalities here and get rid of the running part.
[00:55:31]  Yeah, that's not going to happen.
[00:55:32]  I mean, Trump's going to leave and someone else is going to commit.
[00:55:35]  He's 80.
[00:55:36]  What do you think of Rubio?
[00:55:38]  I like Rubio.
[00:55:38]  He's done a really great job.
[00:55:39]  He's been very professional.
[00:55:40]  I think he's done a good job, too.
[00:55:41]  I think Marco Rubio has shilled for amnesty his entire life and then suddenly turned around for a year and said, actually, maybe I don't believe in amnesty because the Trump administration told me I don't.
[00:55:52]  And then just yesterday, he was saying, actually, anyone from anywhere can be an American again.
[00:55:56]  So, I'm very, very worried about Marco Rubio when it comes to.
[00:56:00]  What he was saying was, I think, a little different.
[00:56:02]  I think he was saying that anyone from anywhere can come here and achieve.
[00:56:06]  But I think what he, my interpretation of that, because I thought that those were really great remarks.
[00:56:11]  And I think that my understanding of an American, and I think you might disagree with me, but it's someone who is either born in America and you accept our values and our culture and you're part of this country and it's where you're from.
[00:56:27]  Or if you're an immigrant and you come here, you cast off all your other ties, you cast off any allegiance to your home nation, and you say, I'm going to be an American.
[00:56:35]  I'm going to embrace these values, this culture, these founding documents, and I'm going to do my best to achieve on these terms.
[00:56:42]  So I do think that immigrants have a place in this country and have a place to, you know, achieve and take advantage of everything that's great that there is to offer, but not to come here and get handouts.
[00:56:53]  But that's not what we're getting at all.
[00:56:54]  That's exactly the opposite.
[00:56:55]  And we haven't seen that.
[00:56:56]  Right.
[00:56:56]  But I think that that's what Rubio was talking about.
[00:56:58]  That's how it's.
[00:56:59]  Sounded to me.
[00:57:00]  But he has to come up against the problem here.
[00:57:03]  And we're hearing a lot of it.
[00:57:03]  We just heard Gorsuch talk about how we are a creedal nation.
[00:57:09]  We don't have a shared religion.
[00:57:10]  We don't have a shared heritage.
[00:57:12]  We don't have any of these things.
[00:57:13]  It's just we're people with a set of documents and that's all we are.
[00:57:16]  That's a total misinterpretation of what the documents actually are and what they stand for.
[00:57:21]  Because if you grow up in this country, if you embrace these documents, if you embrace these ideals, then that creates a common culture.
[00:57:28]  This is a misunderstanding of the nature of.
[00:57:30]  Political constitutions.
[00:57:32]  So constitutions are not a document that you think of a priori and then they push down and dictate the way you live your life.
[00:57:40]  They emanate from the way of being of the people in the first place.
[00:57:43]  Right, that's exactly right.
[00:57:44]  So if you're raised in accordance with these ideals, then that becomes our culture.
[00:57:49]  It doesn't become our culture.
[00:57:50]  It was already our culture.
[00:57:51]  That's the key.
[00:57:52]  It's a continuity of a tradition and a heritage.
[00:57:55]  It's not simply something that you adopt because you feel like now you want to be part of America.
[00:57:59]  You have to be in a language.
[00:58:01]  If you're an immigrant, then you have to adopt it.
[00:58:03]  But they don't.
[00:58:04]  And we don't enforce it.
[00:58:06]  No, we don't enforce assimilation.
[00:58:08]  Ilhan Omar hates the Constitution.
[00:58:10]  Sure, we don't enforce assimilation.
[00:58:11]  And that's a problem.
[00:58:12]  And she's allowed to not get expelled from the country.
[00:58:14]  She's allowed to literally have one of the most important positions in the country.
[00:58:18]  No, I understand that.
[00:58:19]  And I think that that's completely.
[00:58:21]  Ridiculous.
[00:58:21]  But how would we shift that without changing the understanding of what America is?
[00:58:25]  Assimilation used to be much more enforced.
[00:58:28]  It was enforced in our schools and our educational system.
[00:58:31]  It was enforced by parents who were immigrants who come here and they say, you know, you're going to be American now.
[00:58:35]  We're not going to speak Italian at home.
[00:58:38]  We're not going to use our Italian names.
[00:58:40]  You know, that was certainly my ancestors on one side.
[00:58:44]  You also have, and he's derided for it, but you also have the way Henry Ford took that.
[00:58:50]  I had a friend.
[00:58:51]  20 years ago, I was skating in Chicago, and a Mexican dude, one day he came to the skate park and he was super pissed off.
[00:59:00]  And I was like, Bro, what are you?
[00:59:01]  You're all pissed off.
[00:59:02]  And he started complaining about white people.
[00:59:04]  And then I was like, I don't know why you're all mad.
[00:59:07]  And he started talking smack about white people.
[00:59:09]  They steal everything, they stole this land.
[00:59:12]  And then he said, My grandmother told me to have as many kids as possible so that we can steal the land back from them because we outvote them.
[00:59:19]  And then I was like, Wow, sure, whatever.
[00:59:22]  I don't know.
[00:59:23]  I'm skating, bro.
[00:59:24]  I've seen this.
[00:59:25]  It's kind of wild.
[00:59:25]  A common misconception against lower tiered thinking people on the left.
[00:59:29]  They really believe it's about race.
[00:59:31]  That when there's immigration and people on the right are upset that the city is now multicultural, whatever, they're like, oh, they hate black people or they hate Indian people.
[00:59:40]  When the real concern is the cultural deconstruction.
[00:59:44]  That's what people are.
[00:59:46]  There are racists, of course, but many people are afraid that the American culture is being diffused.
[00:59:50]  Not that the race, it's not about race.
[00:59:53]  Let me play this video for you, Ian, all right?
[00:59:55]  Check this out.
[00:59:55]  So we got this video, it's from Black People of Reddit.
[00:59:58]  And it's response to this comment voting may matter within the Constitutional Republic, but uh, well, the Constitutional Republic is nearly an open air prison.
[01:00:05]  Listen to what this man has to say.
[01:00:07]  Apparently, we can't listen to what he has to say.
[01:00:09]  Let me pause real quick and make sure that we're listening, but I heard nothing.
[01:00:11]  It's because it's default muted.
[01:00:13]  Listening and hearing are not the same.
[01:00:14]  I am so fucking tired of white men cosplaying the apocalypse.
[01:00:18]  The only fucking reason why we needed the goddamn Voting Rights Act in the first place is because of white men.
[01:00:25]  I don't care that you don't fucking see the value in it.
[01:00:29]  Neither did your great grandfather, and that's the fucking reason we have it.
[01:00:34]  It got passed in the fucking 60s.
[01:00:36]  I am tired of it.
[01:00:37]  I'm tired of fucking pretending that the motherfuckers responsible for us needing it aren't alive.
[01:00:44]  They're alive, and you call them grandma.
[01:00:47]  So, no, white boy, I don't care what the fuck you think about the goddamn Voting Rights Act.
[01:00:52]  I don't care.
[01:00:54]  I don't care what any white person thinks about it.
[01:00:56]  That fucking all.
[01:00:58]  Because the only reason we need any of this shit is because white people.
[01:01:03]  Needed to be told in writing not to be awful.
[01:01:08]  That's why.
[01:01:09]  You guys should tell them in writing.
[01:01:11]  But that's what laws are.
[01:01:12]  They're telling you not to be a piece of shit.
[01:01:16]  It's very weird that we have so many fucking laws surrounding race because white men won't fucking be better.
[01:01:24]  They won't be better.
[01:01:26]  They won't do better.
[01:01:27]  It doesn't fucking matter what year it is.
[01:01:30]  In the year of our Lord 2026, we are still discussing the merits of.
[01:01:34]  Black people fucking voting because you are not different than your fucking ancestors.
[01:01:40]  You know, I thought about it for a while.
[01:01:42]  The first reaction I had was like it was like a visceral anger to him at just attacking white people.
[01:01:47]  I'm not completely white, but I'm a little bit.
[01:01:49]  And then I stopped and really thought about what he was saying, and I was like, no, I mean, he's right.
[01:01:55]  People need to be told based on their race to be better.
[01:01:59]  And when it turns out, according to the FBI crime stats, that it's largely black men committing all the violent crimes, this man has inspired me.
[01:02:08]  And I think based on his advocacy and his name, we shall put forth laws that give you harsher penalties if you commit a crime while being black.
[01:02:19]  Is that the argument he's making?
[01:02:21]  Is that what you would like, sir?
[01:02:23]  Well, he says white men are bad and they got to do better.
[01:02:25]  And I'm like, yeah.
[01:02:26]  And, you know, and there's other bad people who are black.
[01:02:29]  So maybe if he says we need laws to stop white people from being bad, maybe if we make laws specifically targeting black people the way he's argued, it might stop the murders.
[01:02:37]  Yeah, it would probably tell you that there already are those laws in place.
[01:02:41]  If this dude was a white dude with like maybe a shaved head and he was screaming about black people, you black people, could you imagine how much negative attention he'd be getting?
[01:02:52]  You know what we can do?
[01:02:53]  We can put this through AI and actually do that.
[01:02:54]  And that'd be hilarious.
[01:02:55]  That's a good idea.
[01:02:56]  It was such a racist thing.
[01:02:57]  That's like the first good reason we did these laws in the first place because of black men.
[01:03:01]  Well, I mean, the funny thing about this is, you know, we're doing the old, well, what if the roles were reversed, which is, yeah, okay.
[01:03:08]  So obviously you can be racist against white people and not black people, news at 11.
[01:03:12]  But also, like, the bigger part of his rant here is, is like, well, why do you have so many laws centered around race?
[01:03:17]  And actually, that's a really great question, right?
[01:03:19]  Because the left says we have to have them because America is inherently racist.
[01:03:23]  And without that, we're going to have all of the racist outcomes that Americans really want.
[01:03:28]  But the funny thing is, you can't get Republicans to roll these back, either.
[01:03:32]  Usually, it's kind of impressive that we finally saw that in the Voting Rights Act.
[01:03:36]  And once again, God bless Clarence Thomas and his absolute, like, just carrying the constitutional order on his shoulders.
[01:03:43]  However, one of the reasons those laws exist is despite decades and decades and decades of basically rigging the entire system in favor of minorities, we still see disparate outcomes.
[01:03:56]  We have changed the laws to make it harder to fire minorities, easier to hire them, make it basically illegal to have too many white people in your office.
[01:04:04]  We've done this for education, and none of this has significantly shifted the outcomes.
[01:04:09]  In fact, they've become worse.
[01:04:10]  That was one of the things that radicalized me as well in 2012.
[01:04:12]  I went to Occupy Wall Street, 2011, whatever it was.
[01:04:14]  I was going to speak and read the Constitution.
[01:04:16]  No, we had too many white people speak.
[01:04:19]  You're a victim of the progressive stack.
[01:04:21]  I also want to just point out the stupidity here.
[01:04:23]  When he's like, you call him grandma.
[01:04:25]  Like, bro, that was 1965.
[01:04:27]  My grandparents are not alive.
[01:04:28]  I'm 40 years old, dude.
[01:04:29]  Look, bro, we're post slavery.
[01:04:31]  This country's still here.
[01:04:32]  There are some hundred year olds around, I guess.
[01:04:34]  But in 1965, when these laws were being passed, The voting bloc that was influencing this, that passed this, they were in their late 30s or 40s.
[01:04:42]  Those people are not 100, they're not around anymore.
[01:04:46]  Well, everyone also forgets that that march on Washington was a march for civil rights and jobs.
[01:04:52]  So there were a lot of working class people out there who just wanted, like, you know, a job.
[01:04:57]  They just wanted, like, decent wages.
[01:04:59]  And that was a huge part of it.
[01:05:00]  And that was a huge part of how you got such a wide coalition of people who were in favor of these, in favor of, That whole, you know, like what and how in what way do they get jobs?
[01:05:11]  What are they looking for?
[01:05:12]  Oh, I don't know if they got jobs, but that was what the march was called, you know.
[01:05:16]  And I know that, like, um, uh, I, you know, I know there's people in my family ancestors, whatever, people who went to the march and that's what they were there for.
[01:05:25]  It was like civil rights and jobs.
[01:05:27]  They wanted, like, just like people now today are like, we want good jobs so we can raise our families, you know, without worrying about having to get five jobs.
[01:05:35]  It's the same kind of thing.
[01:05:35]  I want to nitpick this guy's argument a little bit because America is a very young country and it's just freshly.
[01:05:41]  Post slavery, in the grand scheme of things, 100 years or whatever, 170 years, 160 years.
[01:05:45]  So, like our slaves happened to be from one part of the world.
[01:05:50]  That's the skin color of those people happened to be the way that was.
[01:05:53]  It's not like if we'd taken Indian slaves, then all this whole thing would be about Indians wanting Indian rights and Indians.
[01:05:59]  Well, I don't know.
[01:05:59]  Did you see the thing, though?
[01:06:00]  The Green Party in the UK.
[01:06:01]  Did you see this woman in the Green Party?
[01:06:03]  She was demanding reparations for slavery from the government.
[01:06:07]  And it turned out, yeah, whatever.
[01:06:08]  Green Party, they're idiots.
[01:06:09]  But this black woman in the UK demanding reparations.
[01:06:12]  And it turned out that she was descended from a tribe that sold slaves.
[01:06:18]  Africans into slavery.
[01:06:19]  I mean, if you look at it now, there's more slavery right now in the Middle East than there was during the entire like slave trade in the United States.
[01:06:29]  I gotta say something because the one thing I can respect for a lot of the social justice stuff is I was hanging out at the poker room as one does, and there was a black dude he was playing, and a question came up.
[01:06:40]  I can't remember why, but someone mentioned like Europe and their like grandparents, and I said, Oh, you can become a citizen.
[01:06:47]  Like, apparently.
[01:06:48]  In some circumstances, if you're like your grandparent is from there, you can go back and then reapply.
[01:06:52]  And then this guy asked me, he's like, Oh, you could do that?
[01:06:55]  And I was like, No, I can't do that.
[01:06:56]  I was like, I can get a B visa from Korea, which is like a two year live work for being part Korean.
[01:07:01]  And he goes, Yeah.
[01:07:03]  He's like, I don't got nothing like that because I don't know where my family came from.
[01:07:07]  And I was like, Oh, I was like, Yeah, that's kind of messed up.
[01:07:09]  And he's like, Yeah.
[01:07:10]  And then he's like, You like Trump?
[01:07:12]  And I was like, Yeah.
[01:07:13]  And he goes, I love Trump.
[01:07:14]  I just thought it was funny that, like, this conversation, he's pointing out that the history, Of most black people in this country.
[01:07:20]  I say most because there's people coming from Haiti or they emigrate here.
[01:07:22]  But there are a lot of people who are descended from slaves.
[01:07:24]  They don't have that.
[01:07:25]  I know where my country is.
[01:07:27]  At the same time, this guy loved Trump and he hated Democrats.
[01:07:29]  Well, his country is right here.
[01:07:30]  Like, this is his country.
[01:07:32]  Well, black Americans have a real ethnogenesis because of that, because they didn't have any tie to previous heritage.
[01:07:38]  Right.
[01:07:38]  Like, America is the country for black Americans.
[01:07:42]  I can point that, yes.
[01:07:44]  But I also think there is something.
[01:07:47]  I can respect the position of.
[01:07:49]  I don't have that.
[01:07:50]  The guy wasn't complaining.
[01:07:51]  He wasn't saying, I've been aggrieved.
[01:07:53]  He was just like, Yeah, I don't have that.
[01:07:54]  I was like, Oh, yeah, wow.
[01:07:54]  Like, I understand.
[01:07:55]  It is horrible.
[01:07:56]  But he loved Trump and it was funny.
[01:07:57]  And then some white guy at the table said, Trump is the worst ever.
[01:08:00]  I just think it's hilarious.
[01:08:01]  And I'm like, You know, he said to me, he goes, Trump's a gangster.
[01:08:04]  And he's like, And all the black people love him.
[01:08:05]  And I was like, I don't know about all of them.
[01:08:07]  And he was like, Well, where I come from.
[01:08:09]  And then the white guys at the table were just like, He's the worst president we've ever had.
[01:08:12]  It's just a funny contrast.
[01:08:14]  I don't think he's even close to the worst president we've ever had.
[01:08:17]  No, I think he's one of the best, actually.
[01:08:18]  Yeah.
[01:08:19]  At least he's the best president of my lifetime.
[01:08:22]  And I said that and I was like, guys, you got to understand the bar is underground at this point.
[01:08:26]  So, there being a bar laying on the ground and that's Trump and we can just like look at it is better than we've had.
[01:08:32]  He's like, bucking the CIA.
[01:08:33]  He seems to be, which is what Kennedy tried to do and failed at because he's, I think Trump was ready for it.
[01:08:39]  Yeah.
[01:08:40]  What do you say?
[01:08:40]  Ripping to shreds, scattering to the wind or whatever, splintering?
[01:08:42]  Yeah.
[01:08:42]  Kennedy said that.
[01:08:43]  And then I don't know when he ended up at the bottom of it.
[01:08:45]  And then he died.
[01:08:46]  Well, they tried to kill Trump four times.
[01:08:48]  I definitely find the racial element of slavery a correlation because of where the slaves of this nation were taken from.
[01:08:56]  Like, If it had been, you know, a North African Carthaginian culture that had been taken Roman slaves, 200 years later, after they're freed, all the slaves would have been white guys and they would have been complaining for white people's rights because all the Carthaginians have dark skin and they have all the money.
[01:09:12]  So, like, it's just, it doesn't really matter.
[01:09:14]  It's just about, you know, it's more about who, it's less about what you look like.
[01:09:19]  The thing, too, is like the African slave traders didn't end slavery, the British ended slavery.
[01:09:25]  You know, like the entire narrative is backwards and wrong.
[01:09:29]  This thing is all a system of control because they have Black Lives Matter and replacement immigration in Ireland, which was literally a place that was oppressed for centuries by the English and had nothing to do with the slave trade or any of it.
[01:09:43]  But they use the same rhetoric in Ireland that they use in the United States.
[01:09:47]  You just have to step over this stuff.
[01:09:49]  It's baseless.
[01:09:50]  It's over.

=== Invented History of Slavery (06:55) ===

[01:09:51]  Look, if we ever want to have a society, you got to not care about slavery.
[01:09:54]  We have to stop making slavery something we worship.
[01:09:56]  And it's the only thing.
[01:09:57]  When I was a teacher, I taught so many students, and the only two things they knew about America is that we invented slavery.
[01:10:04]  Yes, they all believe that.
[01:10:05]  That we invented slavery.
[01:10:07]  Of course.
[01:10:07]  But these people are fervent.
[01:10:09]  And what do you do when you have a fervent horde fighting for their zeal, like their ideology?
[01:10:14]  You get them to trip over their own feet.
[01:10:16]  Because they're charging ahead without looking.
[01:10:18]  They're fervor.
[01:10:20]  That's one way to do it.
[01:10:21]  I mean, I think one by one, you make internet videos explaining the real history of slavery in a charismatic way.
[01:10:27]  I mean, your solution to everything is make an internet video about it.
[01:10:29]  It's a powerful tech, dude.
[01:10:30]  Humans still don't understand how powerful it is to be.
[01:10:33]  I got to give you a little pushback on that one because today I'm flipping through Instagram.
[01:10:37]  I kid you not, every other video was someone going, This person tweeted in 2022, Corona ends 23, haunt a virus.
[01:10:45]  They were all saying the exact same things.
[01:10:48]  And I'm just thinking, Do these people have brains?
[01:10:50]  This is a horrible place to be.
[01:10:52]  This is awful.
[01:10:53]  I want to be a chicken farmer.
[01:10:54]  I quit.
[01:10:54]  I'm a child of 2006 YouTube, where the people that were driving the global narrative were on YouTube.
[01:11:00]  I don't know if that's still the case with AI and massive, massive misinformation.
[01:11:05]  And it's so easy now.
[01:11:06]  Everyone, it's so common relative to how it was 15 years, 20 years ago.
[01:11:10]  But the power of this technology is insane.
[01:11:13]  The way you can create mass formation with your ideas, anyone can.
[01:11:17]  So do it.
[01:11:19]  I mean, you can just make it fake too, you know?
[01:11:20]  What's that?
[01:11:21]  It's really easy to fake putting money into these systems to just promote.
[01:11:26]  Yeah, when Google bought YouTube, I made a video, it's still on my CrossMac channel, of losing my mind.
[01:11:32]  Because I wasn't that.
[01:11:33]  I was like, well, here we go the corporatization of internet video.
[01:11:36]  We had it for two years.
[01:11:37]  It was the free wild west from 2006 to 2008, but then people started getting paid.
[01:11:42]  Well, it's also the tyranny of algorithms.
[01:11:44]  Like eventually, there's just a maximal way to game the algorithm only one way, only one set of news stories, only one way to master the news cycle so that you stay on top.
[01:11:54]  And then everyone just converges on that strategy.
[01:11:57]  The best practices become the only thing that dictates what people cover.
[01:12:00]  My hypothesis is how to create the news by doing a more entertaining show than whatever's out there.
[01:12:05]  Well, I will say that actually we're reverting back to the fact that you will get more views doing news production.
[01:12:13]  There was a period where news production was waning because it was too easy to aggregate, but now aggregation is saturated and news production is going to come back.
[01:12:20]  Let's jump to this from YouGov.
[01:12:22]  How many Americans think they could beat Donald Trump in a fight?
[01:12:25]  Would you be surprised to find out that Republicans actually think they can't?
[01:12:30]  Check it out.
[01:12:31]  Who do you think would win in a physical fight between you and Trump?
[01:12:34]  Democrats, 75% said they would.
[01:12:37]  5% said Trump would.
[01:12:39]  33% of Republicans said they would, but 39% said Trump would.
[01:12:43]  What say you, Ian?
[01:12:46]  I don't want to say that I would beat up the president.
[01:12:49]  It's a sanction?
[01:12:50]  I think.
[01:12:50]  Oh, in a sanction fight?
[01:12:51]  Ain't no way.
[01:12:52]  I'd go for the legs, dude.
[01:12:53]  He's too top heavy.
[01:12:55]  I'd wrap him up like a snake, bro, and I'd get behind his neck.
[01:12:58]  I'd have to tie my hair back, though.
[01:13:00]  He.
[01:13:01]  I think Trump has an aura of weakness where he makes other people fall to their knees when they're around him.
[01:13:05]  People have said this, that they get in the room with him and they're just like stuck in awe of him.
[01:13:09]  But if you're able to overcome that, I think you could easily defeat the 80 year old.
[01:13:12]  So here's the thing.
[01:13:14]  He is 80.
[01:13:15]  I actually think Republicans are actually correct.
[01:13:19]  The 39% have said Trump would win.
[01:13:22]  You know why?
[01:13:24]  Security.
[01:13:24]  You need to consider, no.
[01:13:26]  You need to consider the people who are being asked will include small women.
[01:13:31]  The elderly and the infirm.
[01:13:33]  So, actually, seeing about 39% say, Yeah, Trump could probably beat me up.
[01:13:37]  There could be a 70 year old guy who's like, You know, he's old, we're old, but he's bigger than me.
[01:13:41]  Now, look at this one.
[01:13:42]  Who do you think would win in a fight between an eight year old boy and Trump?
[01:13:45]  Democrats, 54% said an eight year old boy.
[01:13:48]  I can't take polls seriously anymore.
[01:13:50]  I can't do it, dude.
[01:13:52]  50%?
[01:13:53]  50% of the.
[01:13:55]  54% of Democrats think an eight year old boy could beat up 240 pound, six foot three Donald Trump.
[01:14:03]  I think that's a big.
[01:14:03]  Are you really mean?
[01:14:04]  Donald Trump, they're trying to make a difference.
[01:14:06]  I'm sorry.
[01:14:07]  I know Trump's old, but he could still punch the kid in the face.
[01:14:09]  Yeah, right.
[01:14:09]  He also has the golf clubs, you know.
[01:14:12]  Well, Trump was in Home Alone 2, where he met Kevin McAllister.
[01:14:16]  So we could have had the showdown.
[01:14:17]  Like, you could have had, you know, McCulloch was about eight years old at the time.
[01:14:21]  We could have found out.
[01:14:22]  We could even.
[01:14:22]  And Trump would have been in his prime at that time.
[01:14:24]  He is.
[01:14:24]  They cut that sequence.
[01:14:25]  They cut that sequence.
[01:14:26]  Right.
[01:14:27]  Well, the thing is that, you know, Trump has strong sprawl defense.
[01:14:31]  So when the little kid goes for the takedown, you know, Trump's all over.
[01:14:34]  He's just going to put the hand and smash him.
[01:14:35]  Who are these 6% of Republicans that think Trump can't beat up an eight year old boy?
[01:14:40]  Do they not know, like, an eight year old boy weighs like 70 pounds?
[01:14:42]  Well, maybe they're thinking of their kid who, like, is eight, but has.
[01:14:46]  Been exposed to too much testosterone, and I don't know.
[01:14:49]  I mean, if the kid gets a good, like a hook in, like a really strong uppercut, Trump's not a fast guy.
[01:14:55]  I definitely don't think I could beat him.
[01:14:56]  But he's tall.
[01:14:57]  Little kids aren't uppercutting six foot three Donald Trump.
[01:14:59]  I'd have to go for the nuts.
[01:15:00]  Yeah, that's really the key there.
[01:15:02]  If he can get the nuts, strike in.
[01:15:04]  Like, how vicious is this fight?
[01:15:05]  Is this street fight level, or is this like MMA?
[01:15:08]  Is this gloves?
[01:15:09]  No gloves?
[01:15:10]  Can you grab crushed up ornaments under the windowsill?
[01:15:13]  Right, right.
[01:15:14]  Swinging paint cans, hot on the floor.
[01:15:15]  Okay, hold on.
[01:15:16]  If it is Kevin McAllister, Kevin McAllister.
[01:15:19]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:15:20]  100%.
[01:15:20]  Donald Trump slips on a banana peel and then, like, lands on a hot coal or something.
[01:15:26]  If he could take the wet bandits, he can certainly take that.
[01:15:30]  I once slipped on a banana peel, and my friends who I was walking with, like, just died laughing.
[01:15:34]  And I'm, like, on the ground trying to get up.
[01:15:36]  Were you next to, like, a marble factory?
[01:15:38]  Some comic comedy sketch?
[01:15:40]  No, it was just all the trash in New York City.
[01:15:43]  Did it slip forward and you went back?
[01:15:44]  See, this.
[01:15:44]  Yes, it was like cartoons.
[01:15:46]  So, look, look.
[01:15:47]  When I first read this.
[01:15:48]  I couldn't believe it.
[01:15:48]  They were like, you actually slipped on a banana peel.
[01:15:50]  When I first read this, I was like, what Republican thinks Trump Could beat them up.
[01:15:52]  That's insane.
[01:15:53]  Like, if there was a sanctioned MMA fight, Dana White and Trump came in, I'm 40, but I'm sorry.
[01:15:59]  He's got, you know, half a foot on me, but I could still win a fight against an 80 year old man.
[01:16:04]  And then I thought about it.
[01:16:04]  I was like, you know, there's, if this is weighted for age and gender, there's going to be a bunch of women who are like, look, I weigh, I'm 5'2", 100 pounds.
[01:16:13]  I ain't fighting Trump, you know?
[01:16:15]  He has a strong grip.
[01:16:16]  We all know that.
[01:16:17]  He likes to shake that hand really tight.
[01:16:18]  So if he gets in on you, unless you're over 130 pounds, and also there's veterans in wheelchairs that probably were like, not.
[01:16:26]  You also have to factor in, Trump might be old, but this is a man who literally took a bullet right next to the head and popped back up.
[01:16:31]  He's a scrappy guy.
[01:16:33]  He's right.
[01:16:34]  For 80, he's going to put up a fight at least.
[01:16:35]  But I do think this is.
[01:16:39]  You know, I posted that it's a slow news day, and then someone said, it's not that there's no news, it's that our tolerance has been built up to an extreme degree.
[01:16:45]  That's very true.

=== Trump's Resilience Against Bullets (05:22) ===

[01:16:46]  You know, because Jess, who works here, she was like, we're on the verge of civil war, World War III, the AI takeover, and an alien invasion, and there's no news today.
[01:16:53]  Like, dude, we're in the Iranian, the Hormuz, straight Hormuz.
[01:16:56]  If this was 2007, I'd be screaming my head off daily about it on the internet.
[01:17:01]  I'm so desensitized to this.
[01:17:02]  The entire global economy is just sitting there teetering on the edge of the abyss, and we're like, there's just no news.
[01:17:08]  It's been that way for the last like six years, though.
[01:17:10]  Yeah, well, that's the problem, right?
[01:17:12]  It's like, that's how you build the nothing ever happens mentality, right?
[01:17:15]  Because you just build, like I said, build up that sensitivity.
[01:17:17]  But it's every day.
[01:17:18]  It's like, the war is over.
[01:17:19]  Now we're bombing them.
[01:17:20]  Now the war is over.
[01:17:21]  Now we're bombing them.
[01:17:22]  Now they're mad, but it doesn't matter.
[01:17:24]  Now we're bombing them.
[01:17:25]  There's a virus.
[01:17:26]  What's the Even now, there's a virus.
[01:17:28]  Don't breathe around the rat.
[01:17:29]  The alien disclosure is coming.
[01:17:30]  Apparently, we've got more pastors that have said they were in these meetings.
[01:17:33]  That was so interesting.
[01:17:34]  They're coming on the show.
[01:17:35]  We're having them on.
[01:17:36]  Oh, when is that?
[01:17:37]  Next week.
[01:17:37]  I want to come on.
[01:17:38]  Come on.
[01:17:38]  I saw somebody.
[01:17:39]  We might do a culture war next Friday because there's so many.
[01:17:42]  Yeah.
[01:17:42]  And just like a sit down with three dudes who are like, we were in this meeting, it's happening.
[01:17:46]  Yeah.
[01:17:47]  And they were saying that this could destroy people's faith.
[01:17:51]  And I feel like it would have the reverse effect.
[01:17:55]  What if that happened?
[01:17:56]  Because Christians just think they're demons.
[01:17:57]  Christians could think they're demons or just think, oh, I guess we're the ones God chose.
[01:18:03]  So, like, now we believe in God even more.
[01:18:05]  I mean, C.S. Lewis wrote a space trilogy about God making all these different aliens across the solar system and them interacting.
[01:18:11]  So, I feel like that's pretty reasonable.
[01:18:12]  Well, on American Dad.
[01:18:13]  They just show up and they believe in Jesus Christ.
[01:18:15]  What if they show up as Jesus Christ?
[01:18:17]  What happened in some of the other stuff?
[01:18:18]  On the show American Dad, when they did this, there was an arc in American Dad about the rapture happening and Jesus comes back.
[01:18:23]  And then when he meets Roger the alien, he goes, ugh, one of my dad's side projects.
[01:18:28]  Yeah.
[01:18:28]  So, you know, I can make it work.
[01:18:29]  I think, what if they come, if the government comes as like a blue beam version of Jesus, and then the Christians are like, oh my God, Jesus is here.
[01:18:38]  And they're like, no, no, no, that's an alien pretending to be Jesus.
[01:18:40]  And then they're so.
[01:18:42]  Double side, like slipped up, and I wasn't even a double whammy.
[01:18:45]  They'll be like, Oh, the government's protecting me, and they don't want me to believe that this fake image is Jesus, so it is aliens.
[01:18:51]  Family Guy also had a joke about this where Jesus comes back, but he's short.
[01:18:55]  And he says, As most of you are aware, humans were much shorter back then, and everyone's like, He's a little bit shorter.
[01:19:01]  You don't actually look like Max von Seidau.
[01:19:03]  Yeah.
[01:19:03]  And like, Geez, I kind of wish I never met you after that.
[01:19:06]  They're kind of disappointed.
[01:19:06]  They're like, questioning this whole Jesus thing.
[01:19:10]  Like, if he's like four foot two or something.
[01:19:13]  I don't think the second coming would be an alien invasion.
[01:19:16]  What do you think it would be?
[01:19:17]  That would be it.
[01:19:19]  You know, I think it would be some scrappy, poor kid who's like, give everything away and follow me and let's go save some souls.
[01:19:28]  I think, I'll tell you what I think, even though you didn't ask.
[01:19:30]  It's going to be a critical mass of people that start to live like Christ that embody the virtue.
[01:19:37]  And then once enough people do it, it's like overnight, humanity just changes.
[01:19:42]  That would be cool if everyone embodied those values, but I don't think we're verging on that.
[01:19:48]  I don't think we're verging on that.
[01:19:49]  I think right now, the values we have is people sitting there being like, I could take them.
[01:19:53]  And being entitled and being entitled to like anything that anybody else has.
[01:19:57]  It's like spirituality is kind of boring.
[01:19:59]  Like, you ever just sit and meditate for four hours or 20 minutes?
[01:20:02]  That's God.
[01:20:03]  Like, that's it.
[01:20:04]  They're going to be like, Yeah, don't you ever hear about those yogis that just their whole lives, all they ever did was meditate and do nothing?
[01:20:08]  Yeah, I've watched Buddha Boy.
[01:20:09]  And they're like 200 years old.
[01:20:10]  You've got to watch Buddha Boy.
[01:20:11]  He sits under a tree for like.
[01:20:12]  You just sit on like the top of a really tall column.
[01:20:14]  I met some higher Christian dudes and they were like, there are monks.
[01:20:17]  They sit on top of mountains.
[01:20:18]  All they do all day is meditate, and he's like 160.
[01:20:22]  And I'm like, when I was like 18, when I met this guy, I was like, I don't believe that.
[01:20:25]  That's crazy.
[01:20:26]  Then when I got older, I read about caloric deprivation.
[01:20:28]  And I was like, oh, yeah, actually, if you're not doing anything and all you're doing is sitting every single day, doing minimal caloric intake and exercise, we do see a 70% lifespan increase.
[01:20:39]  I think your brain activates neurogenesis while you're meditating, too.
[01:20:42]  I was just told that yesterday.
[01:20:43]  I haven't really studied the science behind it, but when you allow your thoughts to rest, it's when your body can regenerate.
[01:20:49]  If the key barrier to achieving a transcendent understanding of the universe is that you get bored, then you probably don't deserve to achieve a transcendent understanding of the universe.
[01:20:58]  Like, it might take some work.
[01:21:00]  It might require you to do something unpleasant.
[01:21:02]  In fact, that's the entire point of religion, I think, and spirituality in a broader sense.
[01:21:07]  If it's not depriving you of something, then what does it matter?
[01:21:10]  If it costs you nothing, then it's useless.
[01:21:12]  Yeah, a lot of it is actually, I think, is acts like making the world better for the people to come after.
[01:21:19]  But I mean, that's like the most godlike thing you can do is enhance.
[01:21:23]  The human pick up your cross and follow me is literally the meditation so powerful because it lets your emotions go away.
[01:21:31]  You can have thoughts without emotion, and then but it's so boring.
[01:21:34]  I mean, it's kind of nice once you get into it.
[01:21:36]  It's like really relaxing, really.
[01:21:38]  Like, it feels really good.
[01:21:39]  But compared to like going bowling, you know, like stimulation, watching things fall, making noise, TV, electricity.
[01:21:47]  And how do you wrestle humans away from that and to willingly go back to nature?
[01:21:54]  What do you do to do it?
[01:21:55]  I mean, I go to church, I pray, I read the Bible.
[01:21:59]  How do you pray?
[01:22:00]  I mean, in different ways, I suppose.
[01:22:02]  You know, sometimes it's alone, sometimes it's corporate, sometimes it's in a quiet place, sometimes it's in nature.

=== Meditation as Godlike Patience (10:12) ===

[01:22:08]  Really just depends.
[01:22:09]  I used to be like, please, God, give me thing, bring me patience.
[01:22:14]  Now I'm like, thank you for giving me patience.
[01:22:16]  Yeah, you absolutely need to carve out a moment of thankfulness and then supplication for others.
[01:22:23]  You know, that's key.
[01:22:24]  I mean, you know, the Lord's Prayer, the one that Jesus put together, is pretty good about this.
[01:22:28]  It's, hey, you know, please don't lead us into temptation.
[01:22:30]  Please help us to forgive other people.
[01:22:32]  Please help others.
[01:22:34]  You know, we appreciate what you've given us.
[01:22:36]  Here's our gratefulness.
[01:22:38]  You know, all the hits are there.
[01:22:39]  It's not really a, it's a pretty good roadmap.
[01:22:41]  But as opposed to like, Please bring these people what they need, saying thank you for bringing these people what they need before they even have it.
[01:22:48]  And then, because you're glad that they have it, even though they don't yet, they get it.
[01:22:53]  Does that make sense?
[01:22:53]  It's like a manifestation trick.
[01:22:55]  Like you believe it's real and then it becomes real.
[01:22:57]  Yeah, this is kind of a, again, this hyperstition, which is, you know, there's some truth to that, but I don't think that's like a trick that works with God.
[01:23:04]  I think God does what he wants.
[01:23:07]  And, you know, you communing with him is the purpose of prayer.
[01:23:10]  Let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail.
[01:23:12]  Secret Pentagon UFO briefing today.
[01:23:15]  As Washington Insider warns, full truth will still be hidden.
[01:23:19]  Tim Burchett said that he had a private UFO briefing from the Pentagon.
[01:23:23]  He said, Oddly enough, I got a call that tomorrow at 3 p.m., I'm going to be briefed over the phone.
[01:23:27]  The Secretary of War's top dogs will go over stuff.
[01:23:30]  Burchett's comments came as anticipation continues to build around the president and his effort to declassify federal UFO files.
[01:23:36]  However, he added, I don't want everybody to get their hopes up.
[01:23:38]  I don't have a lot of faith in our government.
[01:23:40]  This thing's been covered up at least since 1947.
[01:23:42]  Now, interestingly, we have all these pastors coming out saying they've been briefed by government officials to prepare their congregations.
[01:23:48]  That there will be alien disclosure.
[01:23:50]  So, what do you think?
[01:23:51]  Aliens, demons?
[01:23:53]  I don't know, man.
[01:23:53]  I don't know if you've seen that meme, but it's the aliens show up and they're doing crazy stuff.
[01:23:57]  And, you know, some guy's like, oh, cool.
[01:23:59]  And they're like, really?
[01:24:00]  That's all you got?
[01:24:00]  And he's like, I've been having a hard time, man.
[01:24:04]  I feel like that's my response every time I get the alien thing.
[01:24:07]  I feel like every six months to a year, we hear, oh, new disclosure that aliens are 100% going to be real.
[01:24:12]  And then we're like, that's the conspiracy theory that they couldn't just come out and say aliens are real.
[01:24:18]  So they trickle it out slowly.
[01:24:19]  So we're bored.
[01:24:20]  And by the time aliens come, we go, huh?
[01:24:22]  Entirely possible.
[01:24:24]  If that's a strategy, man, it is working.
[01:24:26]  Yeah, I agree.
[01:24:27]  I got to be honest.
[01:24:28]  I honestly think that if today, maybe today was a slow news day, but Donald Trump, what he's going to do is aliens are going to land on the White House lawn, and then everyone's going to be going, aliens, oh my God.
[01:24:39]  And then Donald Trump's going to tweet out something like, the Democrats are a bunch of fat pigs who should be charged with treason.
[01:24:46]  And then everyone's going to go, wait right here to the aliens, and they're going to run over to try and cover Trump.
[01:24:51]  I don't think people are going to care that much about the aliens.
[01:24:53]  I mean, especially if they're not actually showing up.
[01:24:56]  If it's just like there were some spaceships, there's some, you know, maybe we found some wreckage.
[01:25:03]  Ian looks so devastated.
[01:25:05]  I just don't think.
[01:25:08]  I think you're going to care.
[01:25:09]  I think I'm going to find it very intriguing.
[01:25:12]  But I think the general population is going to be like, okay.
[01:25:16]  I am not going to miss that church service after they debrief the pastors for sure.
[01:25:21]  True.
[01:25:21]  I can't believe it.
[01:25:22]  It's a big one.
[01:25:23]  There's no aliens.
[01:25:24]  No aliens are coming, guys.
[01:25:25]  It's not real.
[01:25:26]  This is all fake.
[01:25:29]  The Area 51 stuff was drone tech.
[01:25:31]  They raided Tesla's laboratory.
[01:25:33]  This is really concerning if anyone even remotely thinks there's anything to this.
[01:25:39]  This is, look, I'm on the side of the U.S. government.
[01:25:41]  We don't need to trick people to control the world.
[01:25:43]  We can do it through virtue, I believe.
[01:25:46]  I think we can.
[01:25:49]  Or there are aliens.
[01:25:51]  There are aliens.
[01:25:52]  They're not coming here right now, but they're already here.
[01:25:54]  They're in us.
[01:25:55]  It's a high frequency consciousness.
[01:25:57]  They're spirits.
[01:25:58]  What?
[01:25:59]  You think they're in us?
[01:26:01]  That's what you think.
[01:26:01]  I asked them, where are you?
[01:26:02]  They said in.
[01:26:03]  I was like, what technology do they have?
[01:26:04]  What?
[01:26:05]  What technology?
[01:26:07]  They're moving really fast.
[01:26:09]  They, they, I think that they can condense matter or matter is condensing at that speed.
[01:26:19]  What do you mean?
[01:26:20]  I don't know enough yet.
[01:26:20]  I got to go visit them more.
[01:26:23]  Now, there is a theory that a lot of these pastors believe the government is lying, telling them to prepare for this because they want to break faith in Christianity.
[01:26:31]  They go to pastors and say, look, aliens are real.
[01:26:33]  You're going to disclose it.
[01:26:34]  Your congregation needs to be taught about it.
[01:26:35]  And these guys are like, is the government trying to convince us to abandon our faith?
[01:26:39]  To trick us, you know?
[01:26:40]  Yeah, yeah, that might be the case.
[01:26:42]  That might be the case.
[01:26:43]  I brought it up the other night, and this is something my friends are like, oh, look at Ian disrespecting Christians.
[01:26:47]  I said, look, if someone's willing to believe something without proof, because I look at earth religions as like evidential, a lot of them are based on like text that you don't have a lot of like, you know, a piece of text that's self referential text.
[01:26:59]  So if someone's willing to believe something without proof, they might be willing to believe something else without proof, like aliens are here.
[01:27:05]  So I don't want these people to be led astray because Christianity has wonderful values and morals that you need to abide by or you can.
[01:27:12]  Can improve your life by abiding by, but that doesn't mean you have to believe that every fact in the book actually is real.
[01:27:17]  But the mistake that you're making is the presumption that because someone has a lifetime of experiences which leads them to belief, that a single experience at one time would change or give them a new belief.
[01:27:29]  You said there are people who can believe things on evidence.
[01:27:31]  I'd be worried they would believe in aliens.
[01:27:33]  You're talking about a person who has lived their whole life in accordance with a worldview which leads them to believe something strongly versus that same person then seeing aliens land and believing instantly that, well, you know, like my whole worldview is wrong.
[01:27:45]  I'll just believe that now.
[01:27:47]  I mean, we hold on to our epistemologies pretty tightly.
[01:27:51]  So, for instance, when it came to public health, we literally watched like every major organization in the United States and the wider world lie to us on a regular basis from positions of authority.
[01:28:03]  And despite that, a couple of years later, everybody basically just went back to believing what those people said on a regular basis.
[01:28:10]  So, I think it's fair to say that once people are in that rut, it's pretty hard to break.
[01:28:13]  There are more people who don't believe the government than ever before, I think, because of the actions during COVID.
[01:28:18]  But it's still not everyone.
[01:28:20]  I think to counter your point, Ian, people who believe in, like Christians, they're not going to believe they're aliens.
[01:28:25]  They're going to believe they're demons.
[01:28:28]  Yeah, maybe.
[01:28:28]  But I think that they might actually come as Jesus.
[01:28:30]  Like they might try and make people think Jesus is here and then be like, no, no, no, that's aliens trying to trick you.
[01:28:35]  That might be.
[01:28:35]  And then they'll be like, oh, thank you for telling me the truth.
[01:28:38]  Christians will not go, oh, you were right.
[01:28:39]  Jesus came back, but he's actually an alien.
[01:28:41]  Now I don't have faith anymore.
[01:28:42]  No, the aliens are tricking me.
[01:28:43]  But wait, if there's aliens, then how can the Bible be true?
[01:28:47]  It's not going to be the thing.
[01:28:48]  Because the Bible.
[01:28:49]  Exclusive, they're not banned by the Bible.
[01:28:52]  There's nothing about that.
[01:28:53]  It's just that men are made in God's image.
[01:28:55]  So if an alien comes and it's not human, a demon image doesn't mean like his literal physical image.
[01:29:00]  They don't mean that like God has two physical arms and legs in the same way that a human does, though obviously Jesus did when incarnated in that way.
[01:29:08]  But what does it mean exactly?
[01:29:10]  I mean, that you have the ability to see what God sees, to understand, or not exactly see what God sees, but to experience free will, to understand the world in a way that no other being.
[01:29:22]  In the world, does I mean, I guess there are people who could argue that yes, they did mean in a little physical, you know, incarnation way, but I think most people understand it as more of a spiritual image of God and not a like actual physical resemblance to God.
[01:29:36]  The other reason I believe that they are potentially targeting Christians, like you mentioned earlier, Tim, is that if you can break America's founding religion as much as it's taken, especially for the last 40 years with the internet getting sloshed by the globe, but like if you can break people away from that.
[01:29:55]  In question, that they'd toss the morals aside.
[01:29:57]  And if they toss the morals of Christianity aside, I feel like we've lost.
[01:30:01]  If you lose the ability to have like patience for your enemy, you can destroy your enemy without hating him.
[01:30:08]  When you hate, you get blinded, you get lazy, you get diffused.
[01:30:13]  You need to maintain these virtues to win a war in a lot of ways.
[01:30:18]  You're right.
[01:30:18]  What we need is a great flood that just, you know, over the whole planet.
[01:30:22]  No, he promised no more water.
[01:30:23]  You have to use fire this time.
[01:30:25]  Oh, okay.
[01:30:25]  All right.
[01:30:26]  You didn't know that that wouldn't be God because he promised.
[01:30:28]  You got a rainbow out of it and everything.
[01:30:30]  Yeah, but the rainbow's been subverted.
[01:30:32]  So that's why the fire comes next.
[01:30:36]  You know, I say this to Christians when they're like, you know, they're using the rainbow flag.
[01:30:41]  And I'm like, why would you let them?
[01:30:42]  Like, Christians should all start using the rainbow again.
[01:30:46]  And then all these progress pride people are going to be pissed off.
[01:30:50]  So they said that it's a fire.
[01:30:53]  Is that supposed to happen in the Bible?
[01:30:54]  They say a great fire is.
[01:30:55]  I mean, I'm making a joke, but there was literally a promise that God would never flood the world again.
[01:30:59]  And that's why the rainbow appeared in the.
[01:31:01]  In the store.
[01:31:02]  God's covenant.
[01:31:03]  So, if he can't technically use water, then, well, there are other options.
[01:31:08]  And fire is one he's using.
[01:31:09]  He could use liquid methane.
[01:31:10]  It's very true.
[01:31:11]  I mean, superheated gas, which is fluid, but it's not water.
[01:31:16]  Liquid methane?
[01:31:17]  Yeah.
[01:31:18]  Liquid methane would be liquid methane.
[01:31:19]  You mean like an endless techno?
[01:31:21]  That would technically be the flood if it was liquid, I think.
[01:31:25]  You can flood a system with gas as well, so it wouldn't be a gaseous attack or a conundrum.
[01:31:31]  Volcanic ash.
[01:31:34]  There's so many ways to destroy things.
[01:31:35]  And I think the flood was preempted by firestorm.
[01:31:38]  Aren't there a bunch of plagues also?
[01:31:40]  That was with them.
[01:31:41]  Yeah, that was Moses.
[01:31:42]  He brought them to Pharaoh.
[01:31:45]  But they didn't like wipe everybody out.
[01:31:46]  I mean, well, the firstborn sons didn't do so well.
[01:31:48]  That was a pretty big deal.
[01:31:49]  Yeah.
[01:31:50]  Did the Christians actually have a rainbow as their symbol for a while?
[01:31:52]  Well, the fish, I think, was the most famous one.
[01:31:55]  You're completing the fish to signal that you are a Christian.
[01:31:59]  You know, the fish that you see people drive around with a car on.
[01:32:02]  I think the original story is that they would draw half the fish in the sea.
[01:32:05]  You know, in like sand, and they draw the other half, and that's how you would identify.
[01:32:09]  I don't know if that's apocryphal at some level, but yeah.
[01:32:12]  It's because they were hunted down.
[01:32:13]  So, in order to secretly show someone you were a Christian, you draw like a curve, and they'd be like, Yeah, that's pretty cool.

=== Border Control for Blue States (04:04) ===

[01:32:21]  I feel for you guys.
[01:32:22]  I don't know who I'm talking to right now, you Christians out there, you lovers of God.
[01:32:26]  I don't know, dude.
[01:32:26]  I love God.
[01:32:28]  I love.
[01:32:30]  Uh huh.
[01:32:30]  I think it's redundant to say God in that sentence.
[01:32:32]  I love.
[01:32:33]  I am.
[01:32:34]  No, that's what God says.
[01:32:36]  No, that's what God says.
[01:32:36]  You guys are God, and so are you.
[01:32:39]  You guys have seen the story that like all these concerts aren't selling tickets anymore.
[01:32:42]  Yeah, that was interesting.
[01:32:44]  I think everyone's bored.
[01:32:45]  I think their brains are fried.
[01:32:46]  I think they're overstimulated from AI and the internet.
[01:32:50]  And it's literally like if someone just.
[01:32:53]  You ever have like.
[01:32:55]  You eat like a bowl of ice cream.
[01:32:58]  And then after you do, you like go to take a sip of like a Coke or something.
[01:33:01]  It doesn't taste sweet because you just.
[01:33:03]  Yes.
[01:33:03]  Or like the other way around or something.
[01:33:05]  Like you've stimulated the sweet so much, you don't really taste it.
[01:33:08]  I think that's where we're at right now.
[01:33:09]  Like.
[01:33:09]  Culturally, we were definitely overstimulated.
[01:33:11]  Although, you know, it was a good concert.
[01:33:12]  It was Phil's concert.
[01:33:13]  I saw him in Philly with Lisa, and we had a great time.
[01:33:16]  Phil in Philly?
[01:33:17]  Yeah.
[01:33:17]  It was really good.
[01:33:18]  He had a great show.
[01:33:19]  We saw Phil's show in Baltimore.
[01:33:20]  Killer show.
[01:33:21]  Lisa crowdsurfed.
[01:33:22]  She did.
[01:33:23]  Yeah.
[01:33:23]  And she's like 80.
[01:33:25]  I saw Charles crowdsurfing too.
[01:33:27]  Hi, Lisa.
[01:33:28]  She's loose.
[01:33:28]  She's going to text me.
[01:33:29]  No.
[01:33:30]  Lisa's not quite 80.
[01:33:32]  No.
[01:33:32]  Nowhere close.
[01:33:34]  Yeah, man.
[01:33:35]  Make art.
[01:33:35]  Phil's doing it.
[01:33:36]  He's living the solution right now.
[01:33:38]  He's touring with his band.
[01:33:40]  It was like, oh, I'm going to go see my friend play a rock show.
[01:33:42]  That's awesome.
[01:33:43]  We keep making this AI music, but I think.
[01:33:45]  And we had drunk pizza after.
[01:33:47]  It was great.
[01:33:48]  That's another fun.
[01:33:49]  So we got redistricting stories.
[01:33:51]  Let's just do this story right here.
[01:33:52]  I saw this viral post.
[01:33:53]  The thing with concerts.
[01:33:54]  I'd be happy to go to concerts if it was fun.
[01:33:57]  So, we've got this viral post red states versus blue states, where the money went.
[01:34:03]  It's actually very fascinating.
[01:34:04]  Red states are bringing in trillions, and blue states are dumping trillions.
[01:34:09]  It's almost one for one.
[01:34:11]  It's 160 billion from New York, is what it looks like.
[01:34:14]  Yeah.
[01:34:15]  And now, was that group like Apollo or whatever, big wealth management or whatever, said they're leaving?
[01:34:20]  Citadel.
[01:34:20]  Citadel?
[01:34:21]  Yeah.
[01:34:22]  Wait, wait, wait.
[01:34:22]  Ken Griffin said he's actually leaving now?
[01:34:23]  Well, he said he's doubling down on his whole Miami thing.
[01:34:26]  So, we'll have to see if he actually leaves.
[01:34:28]  Wow.
[01:34:29]  It's wild.
[01:34:29]  I mean, could you imagine the mayor goes to your house and starts saying that you don't deserve to have your house?
[01:34:35]  Why would you want to stay in that stupid town?
[01:34:37]  Not only that, but it's an investment property that funds a bunch of jobs and a building.
[01:34:41]  And he had a $6 billion project going into Manhattan, and now he's like, maybe not.
[01:34:46]  Maybe we'll just move.
[01:34:47]  $6 billion?
[01:34:48]  $6 billion.
[01:34:49]  Yeah.
[01:34:49]  Wow.
[01:34:50]  So what do we do when all these states collapse and all the red states are all nice about it?
[01:34:54]  We put up walls.
[01:34:56]  Yeah.
[01:34:57]  You need border control, but for blue states.
[01:34:59]  Yes, we need border control.
[01:35:01]  We need walls.
[01:35:01]  Remember when they were doing border checkpoints during COVID?
[01:35:04]  Yeah.
[01:35:05]  People were trying to flee New York, so Connecticut set up barriers.
[01:35:08]  And they were like IDing people.
[01:35:10]  Well, they should have just gone to Jersey.
[01:35:11]  Jersey didn't have any walls up.
[01:35:13]  No, but Jersey is a peninsula.
[01:35:14]  Yeah.
[01:35:15]  So you get stuck.
[01:35:16]  That's why we left, one of the reasons.
[01:35:17]  You left Jersey because it was a peninsula?
[01:35:19]  We were buying the property in the castle.
[01:35:21]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:35:22]  And we decided to leave before it was done already because we were like, they were talking about shutting the bridges down.
[01:35:27]  And I was like, if they shut them down and we were trapped on this peninsula, it'd be terrifying.
[01:35:30]  We should leave now and go inland.
[01:35:32]  And even so, where could you go?
[01:35:34]  Delaware, New York, or Pennsylvania?
[01:35:36]  I was banking on Texas.
[01:35:37]  Oh, no, if you're in Jersey, you can't go anywhere.
[01:35:38]  That's what I'm saying.
[01:35:39]  It's a peninsula.
[01:35:39]  Yeah, because you can go up.
[01:35:41]  Right, but the bridges.
[01:35:42]  I'm saying just the bridges.
[01:35:43]  Yeah, you're trapped.
[01:35:44]  You could go to New York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware.
[01:35:46]  Not great.
[01:35:46]  Not great.
[01:35:47]  That's why you need the escape yacht, you know, like a Bond villain.
[01:35:51]  Like a Bond villain.
[01:35:51]  I don't mind an escape yacht.
[01:35:53]  That sounds fun.
[01:35:54]  As long as there's no other people on it and no rats.
[01:35:58]  Yeah, you don't want to get Honda virus.
[01:36:00]  I was thinking about something else.
[01:36:02]  It's off topic.
[01:36:04]  No, I'm just kidding.
[01:36:04]  I'll keep going on topic too.
[01:36:06]  I've just been practicing how to gather electricity from storm clouds, but we could talk about that at a different time.
[01:36:11]  Oh, Franklin.
[01:36:12]  There's a thing here too.
[01:36:14]  It's like in West Virginia, because I was looking at West Virginia, because here we are, you know, in West Virginia.
[01:36:19]  West Virginia had a 19% increase in population last year, but it doesn't look like they moved.
[01:36:24]  Yeah, but only in the Eastern Panhandle.

=== Citizenship and Roman Fall (03:38) ===

[01:36:26]  Right.
[01:36:27]  It's all the libs fleeing their failed policies.
[01:36:29]  Yeah, we have to make sure they don't vote.
[01:36:33]  I don't know, man.
[01:36:34]  You know, do we like build a wall?
[01:36:36]  No, we just play music, man.
[01:36:37]  That's the wall.
[01:36:38]  The wall is in your soul, dude.
[01:36:40]  We create a buffer of.
[01:36:41]  That's right.
[01:36:43]  I'm telling you, we don't need physical walls.
[01:36:44]  We do need physical walls.
[01:36:45]  That's why we have houses.
[01:36:47]  But in addition to physical walls, you need mental things that make people not want to do it.
[01:36:53]  Well, I don't want the libs coming in here and voting out the representatives that we have.
[01:36:59]  I like the representatives we have.
[01:37:00]  This is the eternal problem of capital flight, though, right?
[01:37:02]  It's like everyone's like, haha, stupid libs.
[01:37:04]  You passed all these policies, you made your place unlivable.
[01:37:08]  Then they move, and you're like, oh, look, our ideas are better.
[01:37:10]  I need the garlic and the crust.
[01:37:13]  Yeah, they just bring their ideas with them and they just go through the same cycle over and over again.
[01:37:17]  I think you should have to live in a state for three years before you can vote.
[01:37:20]  I'd put that much, much higher.
[01:37:23]  And spend $100.
[01:37:25]  But that's actually really not a bad idea.
[01:37:27]  Because, I mean, it's voting now.
[01:37:29]  I've been in the state for years.
[01:37:29]  Voting should cost money.
[01:37:31]  That's called a poll tax.
[01:37:32]  Unfortunately, that's unconstitutional.
[01:37:33]  You're not allowed to.
[01:37:36]  No.
[01:37:37]  It's actually just you got to put money in.
[01:37:40]  Oh, you got to, like, put money on it.
[01:37:42]  Wait, you got to cover it in a different way.
[01:37:43]  You want to, like, gamble it.
[01:37:46]  No, but this one is totally cool.
[01:37:47]  Completely constitutional.
[01:37:48]  If we charged money to vote, the game would be so different.
[01:37:51]  Like, Democrats are never won again.
[01:37:53]  That is not legal.
[01:37:54]  I mean, I support it.
[01:37:55]  I'm just saying we'd have to change the Constitution.
[01:37:57]  Okay, wait.
[01:37:58]  You don't have to pay to vote, but you have to provide a donation that is also mandatory.
[01:38:06]  Stay with me here.
[01:38:07]  Stay with me.
[01:38:08]  Service guarantees citizenship.
[01:38:12]  I don't mind that.
[01:38:13]  I waited tables.
[01:38:15]  But that's how people can get citizenship if they're non citizens and then they join the military, that kind of thing.
[01:38:21]  So this is actually what a classically like a.
[01:38:23]  A republic was supposed to look like.
[01:38:25]  Like, if you were willing to defend the country, you were allowed to vote.
[01:38:29]  That's the classic definition of an actual republic.
[01:38:32]  That's how we had so many Irishmen in the Civil War.
[01:38:34]  Well, as a Southerner whose family was shot by those Irishmen, I have mixed feelings about Lincoln importing a bunch of immigrants to murder our Americans, but you know, feel how you feel about that.
[01:38:46]  Right.
[01:38:46]  Service guaranteed citizenship might lead towards a lot of illegal immigrants joining the military.
[01:38:51]  Well, so to be clear, in the classical Republican sense, service guaranteed citizenship means when citizens serve.
[01:38:58]  They then are elevated to the point where they can vote.
[01:39:01]  So, for instance, in the Roman military, when it was a republic, it was voluntary.
[01:39:05]  In fact, not only was it voluntary, you had to pay for your own equipment.
[01:39:08]  There was no wages for being a soldier.
[01:39:11]  And that's where we get equestrian class.
[01:39:13]  They were the people who were wealthy enough to buy horses.
[01:39:16]  That's why we got the word knight out of it.
[01:39:18]  And that worked its way into English, because literally you had to purchase your way into fighting in the military.
[01:39:24]  And that's what proved you to be worthy of elevation, going through the cursus honorum, like ultimately elevating and taking political office.
[01:39:32]  That's the classic understanding.
[01:39:34]  Machiavelli had the same understanding.
[01:39:36]  He said all republics need to have their own citizen soldiers.
[01:39:39]  They shouldn't have any other standing armies or any of these other people get hired.
[01:39:46]  That's where it should come from.
[01:39:47]  So you don't want to bring in a bunch of outsiders because that's also how Rome fell.
[01:39:50]  They started paying a bunch of immigrants to be in the military.
[01:39:53]  And it turned out that actually, if you hire your entire military from a bunch of Gauls who were moving in, they don't actually care about Rome.
[01:40:00]  And was that just a phenomenon that?
[01:40:03]  Inevitable because they overexpanded?

=== Better Technocracy Governance (08:52) ===

[01:40:05]  Yes.
[01:40:05]  And because their birth rates fell and they let a lot of people come in to fill in the.
[01:40:10]  If this sounds familiar, let me know.
[01:40:12]  I think I've read this story.
[01:40:14]  We might be going through something similar right now.
[01:40:17]  Have we overexpanded?
[01:40:19]  If the power goes out, we've overexpanded.
[01:40:21]  If we have electricity, we seem to have not.
[01:40:24]  I am concerned about a power outage.
[01:40:25]  Well, but that's because people are doing stupid things with their power and trying to convert their entire grids to solar and renewables, which is not effective.
[01:40:32]  By the way, have you heard that all these data centers, they're like cutting.
[01:40:34]  They're like done, not done, but they're like, we're going to stop putting data centers on Earth.
[01:40:38]  We're going to start putting them in orbit because it's that's the plan.
[01:40:41]  Yeah.
[01:40:41]  Really?
[01:40:42]  Where they're going to start putting them on people's homes.
[01:40:44]  Oh, yeah.
[01:40:44]  Yeah.
[01:40:45]  I don't want that.
[01:40:46]  Stay the fuck away from me.
[01:40:47]  Excuse me.
[01:40:48]  Well, stay away from me.
[01:40:49]  What if you got paid 80 bucks a month to host one?
[01:40:52]  No.
[01:40:52]  150 bucks a month.
[01:40:54]  What if it's $1,000 a month?
[01:40:55]  No.
[01:40:55]  Really?
[01:40:56]  No.
[01:40:57]  Keep your data center away from me and its noisiness and whatever else.
[01:41:00]  What if it's silent?
[01:41:01]  No, there's talk now of putting mini data servers on everyone's home.
[01:41:05]  Yeah.
[01:41:06]  Yeah.
[01:41:06]  Like a Tesla battery, a wall battery.
[01:41:08]  If it was just in your garage and you just.
[01:41:09]  And then it just spies on everything you do.
[01:41:10]  It knows when the lights are turned on.
[01:41:12]  It knows how much power you're consuming.
[01:41:13]  No chance.
[01:41:14]  It can use a Wi Fi signal to actually see you in your home.
[01:41:18]  That might be how, instead of UBI straight up, it might be the AI companies that pay people to host their servers.
[01:41:22]  It's like the average American home has 20 internet connected devices.
[01:41:28]  Yeah, that sounds right.
[01:41:29]  Especially as you start turning every appliance into a smart device.
[01:41:31]  Yeah, like our toaster.
[01:41:32]  I have nine.
[01:41:33]  I have nine internet connected devices.
[01:41:35]  Oh, wow.
[01:41:36]  Washers, dryers, microphones.
[01:41:37]  I don't have those.
[01:41:38]  When I went to buy my washer dryer, they were like, and this one is smart and it tells you when you need detergent.
[01:41:43]  And I was like, I will pay you extra for the dumb one.
[01:41:46]  Right.
[01:41:46]  Give me the dumb one.
[01:41:47]  Yeah.
[01:41:48]  I don't want the fridge talking.
[01:41:49]  I don't want the washer dryer talking.
[01:41:50]  I want a toaster that you pop down.
[01:41:53]  I want a car that doesn't shut itself off when the government wants to kill me.
[01:41:56]  None of this.
[01:41:56]  None of it.
[01:41:57]  These switches are crazy.
[01:41:58]  I don't want any of that.
[01:41:59]  How is it possibly reasonable to have that in your car?
[01:42:02]  That's so crazy.
[01:42:03]  Between that and everything being electric cars.
[01:42:05]  We literally talked about this a year or two ago.
[01:42:08]  I hate it.
[01:42:08]  That they were going to be able to commandeer your vehicle.
[01:42:10]  They're doing it in the UK.
[01:42:11]  They're charging people extra tax based on how much they drive in their electric cars now that they are outlawing entirely gas cars.
[01:42:20]  How is this possible?
[01:42:21]  Like, why would you ever buy a car in the UK?
[01:42:23]  I mean, not that like.
[01:42:25]  The rest of the UK, even if you don't have a car, you have some kind of civil liberties, which you don't absolutely out of control.
[01:42:30]  I mean, eventually they'll charge you for driving a car that you can actually drive.
[01:42:35]  Like, they'll charge you a premium because you're endangering everyone because you're not letting AI be a safe driver.
[01:42:39]  That's what you have to do.
[01:42:41]  Or just insurance is going to go up.
[01:42:42]  Yep.
[01:42:42]  They're going to say, listen, there's very few insured drivers these days.
[01:42:45]  Your insurance rate's going to be $3,000 per month.
[01:42:49]  Of course, you're allowed to drive your own car.
[01:42:50]  It's a wealthy luxury to be able to drive your own vehicle.
[01:42:53]  What hell they are turning everything into that's what's good.
[01:42:56]  What could be better than that?
[01:42:58]  A technocracy, what could be better than a technocracy that we're everything literally anarchy would be better than a technocracy?
[01:43:03]  I don't know, no rule, no rule, no, would you rather live in a communist dictatorship or a technocracy?
[01:43:09]  Oh, god, you said the same thing twice.
[01:43:12]  I know, no, no, no, I mean, like, I mean, like an industrial revolution era Soviet communist dictatorship or a modern era technocracy.
[01:43:20]  What about like, I'd say technocracy easy, yeah, what about, yeah, I mean, what about like, as long as my communism is gay space and luxury, it's fine, yeah, what gay space and luxury.
[01:43:31]  Sounds terrible.
[01:43:32]  A space and luxury.
[01:43:33]  A space luxury communism.
[01:43:34]  It's a joke of the future.
[01:43:36]  And then I spend like two days being like, oh my goodness, is everything in the entire world going straight to hell?
[01:43:41]  No, no, it's just going towards a technocracy.
[01:43:43]  Hell, yes.
[01:43:44]  But not if we do it right, because what's happening is Elon, you can have a corporate government that is done like the American government, but we need to architect.
[01:43:51]  We were doing this with Mines.
[01:43:52]  The next thing you know, they're just selling you the air you breathe.
[01:43:55]  I worked with Mines, I started a company.
[01:43:57]  It's a social network called Mines, where we developed through all of U.S. law, basically what would it be like to govern yourself on a social network.
[01:44:04]  So the people.
[01:44:06]  If something gets reported, it goes to a jury of people that volunteer for a jury, and then they can say, Yes, that violates the law.
[01:44:13]  And then if their account gets it wrong, then they get deprioritized in their juror capabilities, and people will sort of self police the network.
[01:44:20]  If we can create a system like that, that's a corporation where people can get paid for using it, it's righteous, it involves the U.S. Constitution as its basis, then we can preempt the global economic corporate government.
[01:44:33]  We already have the U.S. Constitution where we're all represented.
[01:44:37]  You know, we can all vote for representatives, and ideally they represent our interests in the seat of government.
[01:44:42]  But the World Economic Forum is talking about corporate governance.
[01:44:45]  They want to move away from national governance to a corporate governance.
[01:44:47]  Who cares what they want?
[01:44:48]  They're not American.
[01:44:49]  They don't have anything to do with us.
[01:44:51]  They suck.
[01:44:52]  I don't want any international law.
[01:44:53]  Well, they do have stuff to do with us because they're running the banks.
[01:44:56]  Right.
[01:44:56]  And we should not be in debt to any of these groups at all.
[01:45:00]  I understand the ideal.
[01:45:01]  I understand ideally it wouldn't happen, but the reality is it's moving in that direction.
[01:45:04]  So unless we break the system and fall into tribal warfare, I think we're headed towards a collective.
[01:45:09]  Unification.
[01:45:10]  Oh, it's fair.
[01:45:11]  We need to do it right.
[01:45:12]  We need to do it in the American guise.
[01:45:14]  We're not going to do it right.
[01:45:15]  It's going to be terrible.
[01:45:16]  No.
[01:45:17]  I wrote a book about this.
[01:45:19]  And what we're pushing towards is this China is what NS Lions called the China Convergence.
[01:45:25]  Like everyone is arriving at the solution you're talking about.
[01:45:28]  You can't govern people at scale with the systems we want without basically just triangulating on techno fascism.
[01:45:35]  Like that's basically where every government has to go.
[01:45:38]  So everyone's going to dress it up in different cultural requirements.
[01:45:41]  We're going to use, you know, social scores of one kind in China and different in the United States and different in Europe.
[01:45:46]  So that's the word for it techno fascism?
[01:45:48]  Well, no, they wouldn't call it that.
[01:45:49]  But functionally, What we're talking about is state control, entire state control of ideological understandings of the world through technocratic means.
[01:45:58]  Like that's going to be where everyone's going.
[01:46:01]  And so that's why everyone is implementing censorship of the internet right now.
[01:46:05]  It's why everyone's trying to tie bank accounts down.
[01:46:07]  That's why everyone's trying to make sure you can't drive in your car.
[01:46:10]  That's why, because the only way you can take diverse, large groups of people and govern them at scale is through basically technological tyranny.
[01:46:18]  It's the only option.
[01:46:19]  And I identify with self governance.
[01:46:21]  So I don't want someone else to govern.
[01:46:23]  I want to govern.
[01:46:24]  Myself with others governing ourselves.
[01:46:26]  So I see like a mesh network where everyone has their own social network that's connected to every other network, and everyone has their own cryptocurrency tracked with their person that they can pay people for, and people can buy things from them with discounts.
[01:46:39]  They use their own crypto, so it gives your inherent crypto value if you do things.
[01:46:43]  And then you can decide the rules and regulations of your own network.
[01:46:46]  People can still access your network from their system where they have their own rules.
[01:46:50]  And if they want to ban your stuff from their network, they can, but they can't ban you.
[01:46:54]  You have full control of your own network.
[01:46:56]  So it's kind of like Like techno, techno republic.
[01:47:03]  It wouldn't, it doesn't have to be top down.
[01:47:05]  You're talking about patchwork, actually.
[01:47:07]  So there's a, I don't want to sidetrack everybody on this, but Curtis Yarvin, you might have heard about him.
[01:47:13]  Yeah, I'd like to meet him.
[01:47:14]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:47:14]  He talked about patchwork a long time ago, which is basically like this quasi authoritarian, quasi libertarian synthesis of understandings where you have these microstates and each one of them is governed by someone with absolute power, but they're all competing against each other.
[01:47:32]  In a hyper capitalistic manner.
[01:47:34]  So you can choose to go to one patch, you can choose to go to the other, and they don't have to interact with each other.
[01:47:39]  And so people who see one system that works better, they can move there, but there's no voiding, there's no voting, there's no voice.
[01:47:46]  Your only option is exit.
[01:47:47]  Your only option is moving from one patch to the other.
[01:47:49]  And this allows you to kind of basically choose what forms of government and let them compete against each other for people who are ultimately going to be most valuable by producing the best systems while still having like this high degree of autonomy.
[01:48:02]  Again, none of the incentives that like destroy democracies by like handing out a bunch of stuff and getting power through votes.
[01:48:07]  Yeah, I like that because your vote is where you go.
[01:48:09]  What you decide to do with your time is your vote.
[01:48:11]  And then it would create a market of terms of service.
[01:48:16]  Whoever has the best terms of service, that's where the people will go.
[01:48:19]  Think of a thousand Singapores where, like, yeah, hyper capitalists, a lot of people want to live there.
[01:48:24]  But also, if you spit gum on the sidewalk, they're going to cane you.
[01:48:27]  And if you bring weed into the country, they're going to kill you.
[01:48:29]  Like, that's kind of the blueprint.
[01:48:32]  We're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show in 15 minutes.
[01:48:34]  For now, we're going to go to the Rumble Rants and Super Chats.
[01:48:37]  That uncensored portion will be at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL.
[01:48:40]  Before we go, guys, pick up some delicious cast brew coffee Mother's Day bundle available now.
[01:48:45]  And more importantly, if you go to the right on the cast brew.com, we got this pool water.
[01:48:50]  Use promo code DEATH for 20% off.
[01:48:54]  But we're going to grab your Rumble Rants over now.

=== Monarchy and Gum Caneing (11:36) ===

[01:48:57]  We got Josh, 2371, says Have you heard of the quartering flagging people's videos, mislabeling coffee, violating FDA guidelines, and Hannah Clare quitting on them?
[01:49:06]  I've not heard any of that.
[01:49:09]  I did not know anything about that.
[01:49:12]  No, nothing.
[01:49:13]  I just remember when he got famous for Magic the Gathering controversies.
[01:49:17]  Oh, yeah.
[01:49:18]  He got like bands from the GM.
[01:49:20]  All right.
[01:49:21]  HS Disturbed says Freaking shiny hunters hacked Canvas, and I'm freaking out because my daughter is finishing high school through a school that uses them.
[01:49:27]  She's freshly 18 and I don't know what to do.
[01:49:29]  Advice.
[01:49:30]  What is that?
[01:49:31]  Wait, somebody hacked Canvas?
[01:49:33]  What is that?
[01:49:35]  Canvas is the program that is used by all the students.
[01:49:38]  Oh, like a PowerPoint thing?
[01:49:40]  Not exactly.
[01:49:40]  Oh, that's Canva.
[01:49:41]  That's Canva.
[01:49:42]  Oh, sorry.
[01:49:43]  No, Canvas is like, The Mediterranean food place where you like.
[01:49:46]  It's where all your grades are.
[01:49:48]  It's where your teachers give you assignments.
[01:49:50]  It's like it tracks everything.
[01:49:53]  My conspiracy theory is that everything is going to get hacked and published online.
[01:49:57]  And that is going to be the mechanism by which they usher in technocracy.
[01:50:01]  Because everyone's going to be like just staring at each other.
[01:50:04]  And there's going to be a bunch of journalists with like weird tentacle stuff on their hard drives.
[01:50:07]  Gross.
[01:50:08]  And it was a fake stuff.
[01:50:08]  Well, that was actual guy I'm referencing.
[01:50:10]  You know what I mean?
[01:50:10]  There was a tentacle guy.
[01:50:12]  You don't remember that guy?
[01:50:13]  An anti Trump guy took a picture of his screen and had tentacle stuff on it.
[01:50:18]  Hmm.
[01:50:18]  You don't remember that?
[01:50:19]  I don't remember.
[01:50:19]  I remember that, but I don't remember who it was.
[01:50:22]  I don't remember.
[01:50:23]  How do you guys not know this?
[01:50:24]  Big anti Trump journalist.
[01:50:25]  I remember a lot.
[01:50:26]  Who was the anti Trump journalist?
[01:50:27]  Ian wouldn't know.
[01:50:28]  I might know.
[01:50:30]  You never know until you ask.
[01:50:31]  What's the question?
[01:50:32]  Who was the tentacle guy?
[01:50:33]  I don't know.
[01:50:35]  Tentacle guy?
[01:50:36]  Should I ask a question?
[01:50:37]  Was it Kurt Eichenwald, right?
[01:50:39]  Was that the guy?
[01:50:40]  Josh knows.
[01:50:40]  You want me to ask him?
[01:50:41]  He knows everything.
[01:50:43]  I think.
[01:50:44]  Journalist distracts from Comey Huron by defense.
[01:50:46]  Yeah, Kurt Eichenwald.
[01:50:47]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:50:48]  He was the anti Trump guy.
[01:50:49]  That's the year before I started paying attention.
[01:50:52]  Huh?
[01:50:53]  That's why I don't.
[01:50:54]  Wow, you missed a heck of a news cycle.
[01:50:56]  He posted a screenshot of his laptop, and people noticed that one of his tabs was like weird tentacle stuff.
[01:51:02]  Oh, like tentacle porn?
[01:51:03]  Yeah.
[01:51:04]  And he was like, no, I was just showing my wife.
[01:51:06]  And everyone went, wait, what?
[01:51:08]  I was explaining to her that it existed and I was going to show her.
[01:51:10]  Right.
[01:51:11]  It's like.
[01:51:11]  What if he was honest about that?
[01:51:12]  He was honest about that for a long time.
[01:51:14]  He had a bet.
[01:51:15]  There was Lord of the Overfiend.
[01:51:16]  What is that?
[01:51:17]  When?
[01:51:18]  College.
[01:51:18]  What is it?
[01:51:19]  What?
[01:51:19]  It's awful.
[01:51:20]  What is that?
[01:51:21]  And why were you watching it?
[01:51:21]  It's a tentacle thing because we were.
[01:51:24]  We were all tripping on acid and we were watching Lord of the Overfiend like you do.
[01:51:29]  And then we switched and started watching pornography.
[01:51:32]  No, it was a cartoon.
[01:51:33]  Yeah, no, that's not what we're talking about.
[01:51:34]  Tentacle?
[01:51:35]  Okay.
[01:51:36]  Yeah, the weird tentacle stuff is like he's looking at comics of women being captured by octopuses.
[01:51:40]  I'm pretty sure that's what this is.
[01:51:41]  It was creepy.
[01:51:42]  I think it's because octopuses are smart.
[01:51:44]  Oh, it's octopi, isn't it?
[01:51:45]  So it's kind of like sexy, you know, because they're intelligent.
[01:51:47]  They know what they're doing.
[01:51:49]  Yeah, that's what it's all about the intelligence.
[01:51:52]  Suction cups.
[01:51:53]  It's very weird.
[01:51:53]  Sapiosexual.
[01:51:54]  What's it?
[01:51:55]  It was very weird.
[01:51:56]  Yeah, yeah, people.
[01:51:57]  I mean, that one woman was going to hook it up with a dolphin, so I don't know.
[01:52:00]  What was the deal with the kamikaze dolphins?
[01:52:02]  Oh, apparently we have the best kamikaze dolphins in the world, and Iran definitely doesn't have them, according to Pete Hegsef, I think.
[01:52:10]  Yeah, it may be true.
[01:52:12]  I don't know if they've trained dolphins to work, the CIA has trained dolphins to work with them.
[01:52:15]  I like that we're just racing towards Aquaman technology.
[01:52:18]  Oh, yeah.
[01:52:19]  I want to see one of those.
[01:52:19]  There's this crazy book by Kobo Abe, this Japanese writer called, I think it was called Secret Rendezvous.
[01:52:27]  And it was about how Japan is evolving human beings to live underwater.
[01:52:34]  Really?
[01:52:34]  I mean, those Polynesians can swim.
[01:52:36]  I've got questions for you, Libby, but let's grab some more of these rumble rants.
[01:52:40]  I went to Sarah Lawrence College.
[01:52:41]  That's the answer for your.
[01:52:43]  Rowdy Racer says, in keeping with tradition, my wife and I are in the hospital waiting for the arrival of our baby girl.
[01:52:48]  Yes.
[01:52:48]  Nice.
[01:52:49]  Congratulations.
[01:52:50]  Congratulations.
[01:52:50]  Babies are great.
[01:52:51]  Nice job.
[01:52:53]  My daughter has had mama before and stuff like that, but now she's figured it out.
[01:52:58]  So now all she says is mama because she gets whatever she wants.
[01:53:01]  There you go.
[01:53:02]  Yeah.
[01:53:03]  She just stands there and goes, mama, mama, mama, mama.
[01:53:06]  And then my wife is like, she's been Pavlov'd.
[01:53:09]  Well, I mean, it's like right at Mother's Day, too.
[01:53:10]  Oh, yeah.
[01:53:11]  I mean, hi.
[01:53:12]  You know, but I, you know, she would say it sometimes and then not.
[01:53:19]  Now it's like, hey, call mom and she'll say, mama, you know, so yeah.
[01:53:23]  Yeah.
[01:53:23]  You got to be ready for the day when that won't work anymore.
[01:53:26]  Let her know ahead of time.
[01:53:27]  One day.
[01:53:27]  What do we got here?
[01:53:28]  Snozberry says Plague Inc.
[01:53:30]  Oh my God.
[01:53:31]  The hate, the hate it for have Greenland, Iceland, Madagascar.
[01:53:35]  The hate you have for it.
[01:53:36]  Those islands.
[01:53:37]  I think that's what he's talking about.
[01:53:39]  That's why you always had to make sure that you went for boats to get those hard to reach places.
[01:53:44]  Then.
[01:53:45]  You know what was really annoying about the game?
[01:53:47]  When they would mutate and it would automatically mutate to a very deadly thing.
[01:53:50]  And you're like, stop, no, get rid of that.
[01:53:52]  Because then they're going to.
[01:53:52]  You could play as like a, what is it, a bacterium, a virus.
[01:53:56]  You could play as the brain things.
[01:54:00]  What are those called?
[01:54:01]  Like a prion, a prion.
[01:54:03]  And every one of them functions differently.
[01:54:05]  Well, prions are very different.
[01:54:06]  Prions.
[01:54:06]  I only ever played the pandemic, which is the other way around where you have to cure the.
[01:54:10]  Right.
[01:54:11]  They made that after the expansion.
[01:54:13]  Also, he says, I love Tim and Ian.
[01:54:16]  They keep bringing up my favorite game since '93, Civilization, which both of my sons play now, and Plague Inc. that I play every now and again to this day.
[01:54:22]  Civilization, except for the, like, I don't know what.
[01:54:25]  Was five the last good one?
[01:54:27]  Well, six is pretty good.
[01:54:29]  I haven't played seven.
[01:54:29]  Wait, no, no.
[01:54:30]  What's the new one?
[01:54:31]  Seven?
[01:54:32]  Everyone's complaining.
[01:54:33]  I've played five.
[01:54:33]  Yeah, it's not done.
[01:54:34]  They need to make a sieve.
[01:54:35]  If you guys want to make a serial in it, you need to make a sieve.
[01:54:37]  Really?
[01:54:38]  Yeah, it's kind of weird, isn't it?
[01:54:39]  The next sieve, please break the mold.
[01:54:41]  You got to make it three dimensional where you can go up.
[01:54:43]  So it's like a 60 sided cute or like a hexagon, you know, where, so you can go up.
[01:54:48]  Or down, so you can go up into the air with planes.
[01:54:51]  You go higher into the air.
[01:54:53]  Oh, I see what you're saying, or underwater or underground.
[01:54:55]  Like that will take Civ to the next level because they're getting redundant.
[01:54:59]  And there's so many better four times.
[01:55:00]  Well, I mean, Civ four is all you needed.
[01:55:02]  Civ four is phenomenal.
[01:55:03]  All you got to do is keep patching with new technology when it comes out.
[01:55:05]  You can win by religious victory, cultural victory, scientific victory, and military victory.
[01:55:10]  Are there other ones?
[01:55:11]  No, I think those were they because they added the religious one later on.
[01:55:15]  Well, if everyone has your religion, yeah, or like what is victory in a civilization?
[01:55:19]  You know what I mean.
[01:55:19]  Yeah, cultural cohesion where they're all into what you believe, like the American way of life or the religious victory, or you get to Alpha Centauri first, basically, and populate another star system.
[01:55:29]  I got to read this one.
[01:55:30]  B. Stephen says the current Democrat platform is a successor of the Communist Party.
[01:55:35]  Agreed.
[01:55:38]  I'll take that legal reasoning.
[01:55:39]  Yep.
[01:55:41]  All right, let's see.
[01:55:44]  What have we here?
[01:55:47]  Vince says the aliens will give reason to kill Christians.
[01:55:51]  Is that what you're saying?
[01:55:52]  To KL Christians?
[01:55:54]  Is that what it's supposed to say?
[01:55:57]  Let's see.
[01:55:58]  Common Sense Fishing says slow news day or capitalizing on people's stupidity.
[01:56:01]  Hanta virus has been spreadable human to human and documented since the 90s.
[01:56:05]  No, not going to be a pandemic, et cetera.
[01:56:07]  Andy's strain been known, duh.
[01:56:09]  Indeed, I looked up the previous years, and this is not remarkable.
[01:56:14]  Like in previous years, we had more cases.
[01:56:16]  So it's just.
[01:56:18]  This is just a high profile case because it was on a cruise.
[01:56:20]  An American, was it an American cruise ship?
[01:56:22]  No, I think so.
[01:56:23]  No, I think it was from.
[01:56:25]  Maybe Argentina or Chile?
[01:56:26]  Shocking.
[01:56:26]  Yeah, I think it was Argentina.
[01:56:28]  Got people yelled about it on a ship.
[01:56:32]  All right.
[01:56:34]  Let's see.
[01:56:36]  What do we got here?
[01:56:38]  Nixon says Tim, can you please re release your first Boonies Pro model so I can complete the set of your Boonies board, the chicken one?
[01:56:47]  Is that, which, I don't know which one that is.
[01:56:49]  Is that the Chicken Amendment one?
[01:56:52]  I like that one.
[01:56:53]  Oh, the first one with actually just the Roberto.
[01:56:56]  We have a stack of them here.
[01:56:57]  We can have one.
[01:56:58]  Contact the Discord community.
[01:57:00]  Olivia could probably help facilitate, and we'll just send you one for free because they're lying around.
[01:57:07]  Anyway, let's see.
[01:57:09]  We can grab a couple more here.
[01:57:12]  XZ says Tim, I work with a company who has 10K employees who has to do with rat, mouse poop, and poop dust.
[01:57:18]  None have gotten the virus, which comes from rodent poop.
[01:57:21]  Unless you sniff, lick the ground, you'll be just fine, not worried.
[01:57:24]  Well, there you go, huh?
[01:57:26]  Poop dust.
[01:57:27]  It's the first time I ever heard that.
[01:57:29]  Poo dust.
[01:57:34]  You're no one's worried about poo dust?
[01:57:35]  I am now.
[01:57:36]  Well, we have chickens, and chicken poop dust is an issue.
[01:57:40]  Yeah, nasty.
[01:57:41]  I used to breathe it.
[01:57:42]  The chickens poop everywhere, right?
[01:57:43]  Walk around and then they'll go like, and then it just flies up in the air, and you go like, smell that beautiful country air.
[01:57:50]  Yeah, that can get overwhelming.
[01:57:52]  Yep.
[01:57:54]  What do we got going on?
[01:57:55]  We'll grab a couple more here.
[01:57:55]  We got a few minutes.
[01:57:57]  Poop dust.
[01:57:58]  James says, I'm a monarchist.
[01:58:00]  I think having a family who can be voted out of power would solve the problem with both systems.
[01:58:06]  So, a king who's impeachable.
[01:58:09]  So, this was actually Alexander Hamilton's idea.
[01:58:14]  That the presidency would basically be a lifelong monarchy that would be elected when the monarch died.
[01:58:20]  So basically, you would always have a president who served for his entire life and then you would elect a new one when he passed.
[01:58:27]  Oh, that's interesting idea.
[01:58:28]  Like the monarchy, that's actually an old version of monarchy.
[01:58:30]  Yeah.
[01:58:30]  Yeah.
[01:58:31]  But that also means that it's like a once in a, it's literally a once in a three generation.
[01:58:35]  Exactly.
[01:58:36]  Yeah.
[01:58:36]  You have an election every 20, 30 years.
[01:58:38]  You better believe that the king is going to try and control that next, his, his, Successor, no matter what.
[01:58:44]  So that's the danger of having a guy in power for 30 years.
[01:58:46]  Unlike our current system where Barack Obama definitely would not have influenced an entire presidency to which he could have not been elected, right?
[01:58:53]  Yeah, it'd be crazy if he supported Biden or something.
[01:58:56]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:58:58]  All right.
[01:59:00]  What is it?
[01:59:01]  Cy Nick says maybe everything in CVS wouldn't need behind plexiglass other than the sunscreen because some people can't be better.
[01:59:09]  Have you guys seen the viral video where it's a black woman complaining how racist the store is because.
[01:59:16]  The white foundation, the paler foundation is in the open and the darker foundation is sealed away.
[01:59:22]  No, I've heard of it.
[01:59:22]  She's like, this is proof.
[01:59:24]  You know, she's like, white people don't have to grow up like this.
[01:59:26]  And it's like, you understand they put those things there not because they're like, let's be racist.
[01:59:31]  It's because the inventory system says where it has to go based on what was shrinkage.
[01:59:35]  Is that what it's called?
[01:59:35]  There's always that subtle hint if you walk into a liquor store where all the Hennessy bottles have the the theft control device on them and all the $200 scosh bottles don't.
[01:59:48]  All right.
[01:59:51]  Orion says, My wife is Christine Sarmiento.
[01:59:54]  Is that what you said?
[01:59:55]  She is running for governor in California as a no party candidate.
[01:59:59]  NP candidates are ignored by the media.
[02:00:01]  She's a public health nurse for downtown LA and can speak on the Hantavirus, COVID, hospice, Skid Row, and fraud.
[02:00:07]  Ah, well, interesting.
[02:00:11]  I think we're going to have Spencer Pratt come on.
[02:00:14]  Oh, that's cool.
[02:00:15]  Yeah, and I reached out to him.
[02:00:18]  He told me that it was actually one of our Discord members who helped make his videos.
[02:00:22]  I don't want to speak out of turn because I don't know exactly who did what or what it was, but apparently, you know, he's well aware.
[02:00:28]  He's crushing.
[02:00:29]  He's fantastic, by the way.
[02:00:30]  And he's not like some hardcore conservative, right?

=== House Fires in Palisades (02:33) ===

[02:00:33]  He's like an LA guy.
[02:00:34]  Yeah.
[02:00:34]  Lived in the Palisades.
[02:00:35]  He's like a moderate.
[02:00:36]  I don't know.
[02:00:36]  Yeah, he grew up in Pacific Palisades.
[02:00:40]  He lived there.
[02:00:41]  His house burned down.
[02:00:42]  His parents' house burned down.
[02:00:43]  Yeah.
[02:00:44]  And he was like on reality TV.
[02:00:45]  Yeah, he was an actor, right?
[02:00:47]  I thought I was making this up for a second.
[02:00:48]  Yeah.
[02:00:49]  And it's crazy that.
[02:00:52]  We live in a country where they're going to vote for Karen Bass or that, you know, what's her name?
[02:00:56]  Priyathal or whatever?
[02:00:59]  Nitya Rahman.
[02:01:00]  Oh, is that what it is?
[02:01:01]  I don't think she has a chance.
[02:01:03]  I think.
[02:01:03]  You think Karen Bass is going to win?
[02:01:05]  That's because people in LA are dumb.
[02:01:06]  But I mean, you look at Spencer Pratt and you see him talk and you listen to what he's saying and stuff, and you're like, no, he should be mayor of my town.
[02:01:15]  Like, he's great.
[02:01:17]  Oh, he was in the Bold and the Beautiful CVS soap opera.
[02:01:20]  He has really, he has like a lot of strong ideas about how to clean up the streets and prevent these kinds of fires from happening again.
[02:01:28]  Interesting.
[02:01:29]  I mean, that's.
[02:01:31]  Tristan says Ian, techno nations, no physical borders, just network borders.
[02:01:37]  So, I pitched an idea to the Daily Wire guys and to Agel Studios.
[02:01:42]  I say pitch lightly.
[02:01:44]  I told them the idea I had that I talked about on the show.
[02:01:47]  The idea for the show is fast pitch.
[02:01:49]  We got one minute.
[02:01:50]  There's one city left on Earth.
[02:01:51]  All the other cities are left in ruins.
[02:01:53]  Humans don't know at what point the collapse happened or why it happened.
[02:01:56]  And there's one city with 10 million residents in the outskirts and there's farms.
[02:02:00]  One day, a scouting mission goes out and they see these strange, thin beings in an all white suit with chrome helmets.
[02:02:07]  And they're like, Put your hands up, you know, because they don't know what it is.
[02:02:11]  And they're scouting outside the city.
[02:02:12]  And then these beings just like raise their hand and blast them with energy and vaporize a guy.
[02:02:17]  And they're like, ah.
[02:02:18]  And then they think these creatures must have been what destroyed all of human civilization.
[02:02:23]  And so then you get drama for like a season where they encounter these beings, these creatures.
[02:02:29]  Then one day they're like at a junkyard and they get into a firefight and the humans are trapped and they're like, we can't get out.
[02:02:35]  And then so then one guy hits a button and then like the big magnet lift drops a car and crushes one of these things.
[02:02:40]  And the rest of them all just like float away.
[02:02:42]  And then when they go up and they rip the helmet off, it's a human head with no hair.
[02:02:46]  And they're like, oh my God, they're humans.
[02:02:49]  And then the twist at the end is that it turns out civilization never collapsed.
[02:02:53]  Humans just moved into pods underground where they live in pods in virtual reality 100, 200 years ago.
[02:03:00]  And the humans that remain were the people who lived outside of cities, they lived in rural areas, they never integrated.

=== Civilization Moved Underground (03:25) ===

[02:03:07]  And the reason why they can't figure out what happened is because all of the newspapers stopped at a certain date, all of the servers stopped producing data, stopped displaying websites at a certain date.
[02:03:16]  It slowly just trickles out because the news is now in their networked environment, not outside.
[02:03:24]  For instance, if Benjamin Franklin was alive today, he'd say, I must figure out what's happening in this world.
[02:03:29]  Get me a periodical.
[02:03:30]  And we'd be like, Well, no, we use our phones to get the news.
[02:03:32]  He'd be like, What is that?
[02:03:34]  So if, let's say, the time froze and, you know, George Washington appeared here and everyone was frozen in time, he'd be looking for a newspaper to try and figure out what was going on, but there's limited information.
[02:03:45]  And that's what's basically the story.
[02:03:47]  And then, you know, the season two is.
[02:03:49]  They plug themselves into the matrix, and then there's interactions between human civilization and the pods.
[02:03:55]  The reason the beings came up out of ground is because periodically they have to maintain the servers and the power structures.
[02:03:59]  I like that a lot because I think about preserving data.
[02:04:02]  That's really the essence of evolution.

[02:06:26]  Libby likes.
[02:06:27]  So, you and your college friends were sitting around and just like watching tentacle porn?

=== Weird Tentacle Porn Memories (04:36) ===

[02:06:32]  No.
[02:06:35]  There was a house where a bunch of people that I knew hung out.
[02:06:40]  And so I went over there and they were always watching something weird.
[02:06:44]  And one time they were watching that.
[02:06:46]  What happened to it?
[02:06:47]  It was weird.
[02:06:49]  It sort of burned into my memory and it was awful.
[02:06:52]  It was like really gross.
[02:06:54]  Did oh keep going?
[02:06:56]  No, I cut off like what was going to be a really good thing you were going to say.
[02:07:01]  No, I wasn't going to say anything.
[02:07:03]  I just remember it was gross and we took a bunch of drugs and then we watched Apocalypse Now instead.
[02:07:09]  Did the tentacles go down their throats?
[02:07:11]  I don't remember that.
[02:07:12]  Yeah, you do.
[02:07:12]  No, you don't remember that tentacle shit's crazy.
[02:07:16]  I remember tentacles took up the entire screen and I said to my friend, I'm not crazy about this.
[02:07:22]  It's like each tentacle and they're like sitting around at the couch, like just like drinking beer, being like, yeah.
[02:07:27]  Just, you know, hanging out.
[02:07:28]  There was also music.
[02:07:30]  I mean, it was like.
[02:07:30]  I mean, like, I don't get that.
[02:07:34]  I can understand someone sitting around watching, like, Attack on Titan, and you walk in and you're like, what the fuck are you watching?
[02:07:39]  It's like, okay, well, these things are gigantic monsters, and that giant naked lady, and that guy's got cables he's shooting from his legs so he can swing around the city, but he's got to use the sword only in the neck.
[02:07:47]  I'd be like, well, nothing was explained.
[02:07:49]  We walked in in the middle.
[02:07:50]  Everyone was hanging out, you know, drinking.
[02:07:53]  It was 1993.
[02:07:54]  Were people actively watching?
[02:07:56]  Yeah, was it like off in a corner, and like, three people were watching, or was it like this?
[02:07:59]  Everybody was sitting around just like, yo, let's.
[02:08:02]  Let's go!
[02:08:02]  It's not like we didn't have flat screens.
[02:08:04]  You know, it was just like a normal, small TV.
[02:08:07]  Was it like Eon Flux?
[02:08:09]  Do you remember that show?
[02:08:10]  That was a movie, right?
[02:08:11]  MTV?
[02:08:12]  It was like a cartoon.
[02:08:13]  Yeah, they ruined it with the movie.
[02:08:14]  I only vaguely remember that.
[02:08:15]  It was that animation style where it was like, I don't want to zoom up on the tongue and you see the saliva dripping.
[02:08:21]  I'm like, oh, that was like as pornographic as I could handle with cartoons.
[02:08:24]  Oh, shit.
[02:08:24]  But no, yeah, I mean.
[02:08:25]  The show was intentionally disgusting.
[02:08:26]  You know, the 90s were weird.
[02:08:28]  There was like, there was this whole thing too about like if you were hanging out with.
[02:08:32]  You know, people didn't go on dates.
[02:08:34]  You just like hung out with a bunch of people and you'd like go do stuff.
[02:08:38]  And there was always a lot of pressure to go to strip clubs.
[02:08:40]  And it would be like, oh, are you cool enough to go to a strip club?
[02:08:44]  You should come to strip clubs.
[02:08:45]  Oh, man.
[02:08:45]  I just got to say, all that stuff.
[02:08:47]  I feel so bad for Gen Z.
[02:08:48]  I just feel so bad.
[02:08:49]  Because, like, some of the best times ever, it's like you just go to your friend's apartment and you hit the bell and they're like, yeah.
[02:08:56]  And you're like, hey, Tim.
[02:08:57]  And they're like, oh, man.
[02:08:59]  You walk upstairs, there's like three dudes and the TV's on and they're watching football or basketball.
[02:09:04]  And then you walk up, grab a slice of the pizza they ordered and sit down.
[02:09:07]  And then someone's like, the game's over, and they put on Halo.
[02:09:09]  You know, those were the days.
[02:09:10]  Usually I brought my cards if I'm going over somebody's house.
[02:09:12]  That's true, yeah.
[02:09:14]  Yeah, back in the day when I lived in Brooklyn, Adam had a big poker table, and then we'd sit there, they put the game on, and we'd play just three hour Magic the Gathering sessions, order pizza.
[02:09:24]  I once, I once, get this.
[02:09:25]  I once, this is going to blow your mind.
[02:09:28]  I took a bunch of brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tarts and I mashed them all up, threw them all in a bag and just mashed the bag up.
[02:09:35]  And then I used that as a cookie crust, dumped Dolce de Leche all over it.
[02:09:40]  And then I put another layer, and then I put chocolate Dolce de Leche on it.
[02:09:44]  And then I ate one, and I was like, this is insanely delicious.
[02:09:48]  I'm not going to eat any more of this.
[02:09:49]  And then I brought it over to Magic the Gathering Night.
[02:09:51]  Everyone annihilated it.
[02:09:52]  See, Gen Z, they don't do this stuff.
[02:09:54]  They don't have to.
[02:09:55]  That's the problem, it's easier to sit at home and game multiplayer on the internet.
[02:10:00]  And alcohol's in a downturn.
[02:10:02]  We did that too, bro.
[02:10:03]  I played World of Warcraft OG, man.
[02:10:05]  Yeah.
[02:10:05]  I reached PvP Field Marshal.
[02:10:07]  Not the best, but pretty dang good.
[02:10:09]  With Warcraft started, we would just sit in the same room, me and Eric, my roommate in Chicago, we'd sit in the same room on each of our computers playing together.
[02:10:16]  But it was like that was where the divergence began.
[02:10:18]  And then I moved, and I didn't see him anymore, so we'd have to play online.
[02:10:21]  Yeah, I remember when you had Halo 1 and you had to do a LAN party by physically getting four Xboxes in the same area and four people playing on each one.
[02:10:30]  And now that they've made the entire experience preferential to you playing alone online with other people, just no one ever wants to ask you that.
[02:10:38]  I remember my son, he likes to play video games and he plays with his friends and they play online or whatever.
[02:10:42]  But it used to be that his friends would come over.
[02:10:44]  When we lived in Brooklyn, his friends would come over and they'd all bring their controllers and they'd all play something.
[02:10:50]  Now they just all sit on Discord and watch it.
[02:10:52]  And now they all have to sit on Discord.
[02:10:53]  Remember, like.
[02:10:54]  I'll say, like, hey, do you want to do something?
[02:10:57]  You know, can I pick up all your friends?
[02:10:59]  Can I take you somewhere?
[02:11:00]  They want to come over, whatever it is.
[02:11:02]  And it's always like their parents don't let them.
[02:11:04]  You know, it's like the.
[02:11:05]  We need a giant, we need a planetary EMP.

=== UFOs and Thetans Check (15:02) ===

[02:11:09]  That would be great.
[02:11:10]  You know, send everybody back to the Stone Age.
[02:11:12]  I'll be a chicken farmer.
[02:11:13]  Not necessarily that, but it would be good to get the kids out.
[02:11:16]  Like, we used to just go wander around.
[02:11:18]  Lately, I've been like, I'm going to start drinking alcohol again, but I don't know if it's that simple.
[02:11:22]  I did have some beer, like, every Friday.
[02:11:24]  And there's a fine selection.
[02:11:26]  Yeah, but I want to get drunk and drive.
[02:11:27]  I just, I want to get drunk and not give a shit.
[02:11:30]  We got a $2,000 tequila.
[02:11:33]  That sounds tasty.
[02:11:33]  We got Louis over there as well.
[02:11:35]  Also, I'm pretty sure Lauren Southern drank the Louis out of a paper cup.
[02:11:38]  I don't, and I never, I didn't drink growing up.
[02:11:39]  I'm not a bourbon collector myself.
[02:11:44]  Well, I think we're out because that's what everyone goes for first.
[02:11:47]  Fair.
[02:11:48]  He's like, if I go out, scotch.
[02:11:49]  No, no, I think we got some.
[02:11:50]  I think Barrel is a bourbon.
[02:11:52]  Yeah.
[02:11:52]  Yeah.
[02:11:53]  We got Lafroyd.
[02:11:55]  That's a scotch, but.
[02:11:55]  I like Lafroyd.
[02:11:56]  You know what's visiting you?
[02:11:57]  Very ashy.
[02:11:57]  Is the the theater.
[02:11:59]  Do you guys know people that do theater?
[02:12:01]  I don't know anybody that's in the artsy sense or like part of the movie.
[02:12:04]  I know of people.
[02:12:05]  It's called the Democratic Party.
[02:12:06]  Oh, you've seen them do.
[02:12:08]  No, they're theater kids.
[02:12:09]  They're theater kids.
[02:12:10]  I used to know a lot of theater kids until just a couple of years ago.
[02:12:13]  Oh, when you left New York.
[02:12:14]  And now I don't know any of them anymore.
[02:12:16]  Yeah.
[02:12:17]  Yeah, I used to be in the theater.
[02:12:18]  I mean, a great community bonding experience.
[02:12:19]  It is a little culty because it's like their little insulated community.
[02:12:23]  You know, the one thing that I am jealous for regular people over is that no longer can I troll regular people because people know who I am and they know my opinions.
[02:12:32]  Yeah.
[02:12:33]  But, like, back in the day, I could walk down the street and I'd be talking to someone, and I could just claim to have whatever opinion I wanted if they said something retarded.
[02:12:39]  If they were like, Barack Obama's gonna get us out of the war in Afghanistan, I could just be like, well, Barack Obama, I could just say things to argue with them.
[02:12:47]  But now everybody knows my opinion, so it's just like, yeah, no, you get it.
[02:12:50]  I know you're forced to stick by who you are.
[02:12:52]  You have to be real.
[02:12:53]  As the more famous you get, you're better to be real.
[02:12:55]  Hey, what's the name of that porn tentacle thing you were saying?
[02:12:57]  Because I wanna watch it.
[02:12:58]  Like, can we pull it?
[02:12:59]  We're uncensored, so I'm kind of intrigued by.
[02:13:01]  I don't think there's just one tentacle.
[02:13:03]  There's not, what was the name of the show?
[02:13:06]  I'm gonna look it up personally.
[02:13:07]  It's a genre, it's a whole genre, yes.
[02:13:09]  Okay, yeah, you weren't just watching one thing, tentacular.
[02:13:12]  I think that's the adjective, bro.
[02:13:13]  Japanese people are weird.
[02:13:16]  The whole thing is weird.
[02:13:17]  The guys who marry pillows is it because they're inbred?
[02:13:19]  I don't think it's because we bombed them.
[02:13:23]  It's like, like how Godzilla is just a metaphor for them working out their anxiety over nuclear warfare.
[02:13:29]  I think it's oh, it resembles the nuclear bomb, and it's actually Gojira, but because people couldn't understand the Japanese accent and they're going, Gojira.
[02:13:38]  Godzilla, they're like, are you saying Godzilla?
[02:13:40]  But seriously, Godzilla.
[02:13:41]  Serious question.
[02:13:42]  What was the name of that show?
[02:13:44]  I'm not gonna.
[02:13:45]  Are you joking?
[02:13:46]  It's not one thing.
[02:13:47]  It's a genre.
[02:13:48]  Well, I know, but the one she saw in the 90s.
[02:13:49]  She wouldn't.
[02:13:50]  Why would she know that?
[02:13:51]  You said it on the show earlier.
[02:13:52]  I just forgot what.
[02:13:53]  Oh, you know what?
[02:13:54]  Oh, okay.
[02:13:54]  You did say it on the show earlier.
[02:13:57]  Yeah, yeah.
[02:13:57]  Elephants out of the.
[02:13:58]  But now I don't want everyone to remember it and go find it.
[02:14:00]  You never have to go back and look at it.
[02:14:02]  That's the point.
[02:14:02]  All right.
[02:14:03]  I just avoided tentacle porn my whole life.
[02:14:05]  It's going up the butt, like that squiggly little tick.
[02:14:08]  It's grotesque.
[02:14:09]  Or down the throat.
[02:14:10]  This is all too much.
[02:14:11]  What are you doing?
[02:14:11]  What's going on?
[02:14:12]  I know it's uncensored, but still.
[02:14:14]  Yeah, all right, here we go.
[02:14:15]  That's what you love.
[02:14:16]  We got callers.
[02:14:17]  We got Brandon Brown.
[02:14:18]  It's too much for uncensored, bro.
[02:14:20]  It's too much.
[02:14:21]  Brandon.
[02:14:22]  What's up, Brandon?
[02:14:24]  Hi.
[02:14:25]  Oh, not a lot.
[02:14:26]  Well, I mean, you guys are talking about Hantavirus.
[02:14:29]  You got Hantavirus in the thumbnail, but I don't think you're really grasping it.
[02:14:35]  You're not giving everybody the full Hantavirus thing, you know.
[02:14:39]  So, I mean, the Hantavirus cruise ship, whatever you want to call it, I can't remember the name of it, it literally stopped at a landfill.
[02:14:48]  Yeah, the Birdwatchers went to go to a dump.
[02:14:51]  What?
[02:14:52]  Yeah.
[02:14:52]  Really?
[02:14:52]  And you know what the name of that landfill was?
[02:14:55]  The Haunted Vice.
[02:14:55]  The End of the World.
[02:14:57]  They call it the End of the World.
[02:14:59]  Wait, it's called the End of the World?
[02:15:00]  You broke up.
[02:15:02]  Yeah, it's just called the End of the World.
[02:15:04]  Where was that?
[02:15:05]  We live in a simulation.
[02:15:06]  Did you guys see that Speedlin Gonzalez, a judge, was forced to resign or whatever?
[02:15:11]  We live in a simulation.
[02:15:12]  I'm sorry.
[02:15:13]  Oh, yeah, I totally saw that.
[02:15:14]  Speedlin Gonzalez?
[02:15:16]  Are you fucking kidding me?
[02:15:17]  This is Truman Show bullshit.
[02:15:18]  I'm not sure if Yosemite Sam was unavailable for comment.
[02:15:22]  Hey, where was the end of the world trash dump that you were talking about?
[02:15:26]  What country?
[02:15:27]  Oh, I cannot remember offhand.
[02:15:30]  It's that place where they have that odd strain that passes from human to human, the Andes strain.
[02:15:36]  Oh, I was down there.
[02:15:38]  But, you know, when we first discovered that shit, it was in the early 50s, and it was 3,000 UN soldiers, mostly US guys, that caught it.
[02:15:50]  And.
[02:15:52]  I mean, in the X Files, it was Mulder's dad that was working on that shit.
[02:15:58]  And there was another episode where Scully catches it because it was some, I don't remember what the deal was, but she like starts to freak out and bleed from the nose because she thinks she's got the Hanta virus.
[02:16:11]  So.
[02:16:12]  My favorite was when Bart was chewing the gum and Krusty is like, we have to issue an important recall.
[02:16:18]  We knew about the spider eggs, but we did not know about the Hanta virus.
[02:16:22]  And then Bart blows a bubble and spiders burst out of it.
[02:16:24]  And he's like, just call 1 800 800.
[02:16:27]  Antidote to set, yeah.
[02:16:30]  I vaguely remember that, yeah.
[02:16:34]  The spider eggs.
[02:16:35]  What's up?
[02:16:35]  Did I think you didn't ask a question?
[02:16:37]  Did you ask a question yet, or did you have no?
[02:16:39]  I was all over the map, I didn't exactly answer ask a question, but uh, oh, I didn't know if you had one.
[02:16:45]  Do you follow up, I guess?
[02:16:48]  Oh, yeah, dude, give me some good nut picking questions for the Portland ice facility.
[02:16:54]  I, you broke up a little bit, was it?
[02:16:55]  Can you speak a little closer to the mic?
[02:16:58]  Um, I think it's cutting out.
[02:17:01]  Give me some good nut picking questions for the Portland Ice facility.
[02:17:05]  I don't know.
[02:17:05]  What do you mean?
[02:17:06]  Nut picking?
[02:17:07]  Yeah, what is this?
[02:17:09]  Oh, yeah, like man on the street, you know, nut picking.
[02:17:12]  I've never heard of that.
[02:17:13]  First, I've heard that phrase, nut picking.
[02:17:15]  Yeah.
[02:17:16]  Finding the crazy people in a crowd and interviewing them.
[02:17:21]  How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
[02:17:25]  Yeah, that's not going to work.
[02:17:27]  What are you going to do?
[02:17:28]  What you want to do?
[02:17:29]  I love these videos.
[02:17:30]  This guy does a video where he's like, he's like, uh, He's a picture of a guy.
[02:17:34]  Do you think he's straight or gay?
[02:17:36]  And the guy's like, Oh, he's gay.
[02:17:36]  And he's like, Do you think that people would, if they saw a picture of you, they'd be able to tell if you were straight or gay?
[02:17:40]  And he's like, Oh, yeah.
[02:17:41]  And they're like, Are you straight?
[02:17:42]  He's like, I'm straight.
[02:17:43]  But every guy thinks every guy is gay.
[02:17:45]  Yeah, I saw that.
[02:17:46]  Every time.
[02:17:47]  That was pretty cool.
[02:17:49]  But it's obvious.
[02:17:49]  There's like a guy, he's like, not wearing a shirt.
[02:17:50]  He's got a backwards cap.
[02:17:51]  And I'm like, Oh, he's gay.
[02:17:53]  He's going to say I'm straight, but everyone's going to think he's gay.
[02:17:56]  Everyone thought everybody on those were gay.
[02:17:58]  It was kind of funny.
[02:17:59]  Yeah.
[02:18:00]  I don't know what you ask Antifa people.
[02:18:04]  Yeah.
[02:18:04]  Ask him, what is your vision for.
[02:18:07]  A better future.
[02:18:10]  Yeah.
[02:18:13]  That'll be interesting.
[02:18:14]  I remember the first time I went out there, I had people saying that, you know, there were no hierarchies and freaking wolf packs and a bunch of all kinds of weird stuff.
[02:18:28]  It was a weird day.
[02:18:29]  But I've never tried doing that where you ask questions to them and just try to get, you know, those videos.
[02:18:38]  Yeah.
[02:18:39]  Yeah.
[02:18:40]  It could be really great.
[02:18:42]  Like the longer you sit there and talk, probably the better the content will come out.
[02:18:46]  You know, with diminishing returns, because if you're there for like nine days, people be like, Hey, wrap it up, you know?
[02:18:51]  Yeah.
[02:18:54]  All right.
[02:18:55]  All right.
[02:18:55]  I guess that's all I had.
[02:18:56]  Hey, you want to shout anything out before you go, dude?
[02:18:59]  Not really.
[02:19:00]  I mean, I guess I could do my ex account at BrownBrandon503.
[02:19:06]  All right.
[02:19:06]  Let us know when you go interview everybody.
[02:19:08]  Yeah.
[02:19:08]  Thanks for calling in.
[02:19:09]  Thanks, dude.
[02:19:10]  I will.
[02:19:10]  See me.
[02:19:12]  All right.
[02:19:13]  Next up, we've got Angry Fat White Guy.
[02:19:17]  Hey, y'all, thanks for taking my call.
[02:19:19]  First off, Ian, the movie you're looking for, and don't blame me, it's called Lair of the Overfiend.
[02:19:26]  It will change your life.
[02:19:27]  Not for the better.
[02:19:29]  It was the first Japan anime I ever saw after watching Robotech because I thought I was into Japan anime.
[02:19:34]  It turned me off forever.
[02:19:35]  Oh, awesome.
[02:19:36]  But yeah, you've been warned.
[02:19:39]  At least it didn't turn you on forever.
[02:19:41]  Well, tomorrow is officially disclosure day, guys.
[02:19:43]  It'll be the beginning.
[02:19:44]  There's supposedly going to be weekly tranches, and this is confirmed by Burchett and Luna.
[02:19:51]  We're not going to get everything, obviously, and no one's going to be satisfied.
[02:19:54]  But what do you think the government will disclose?
[02:19:57]  That's part one.
[02:19:58]  And then part two why do you think Trump is doing it?
[02:20:00]  So I'd like to hear your thoughts, and I'll share mine after you're all done.
[02:20:03]  Oh, so there's a big disclosure.
[02:20:04]  Yeah, I think it's going to be vague.
[02:20:06]  It's going to be a lot of what we've already heard.
[02:20:09]  There's going to be nothing.
[02:20:10]  There's going to be more information on strange objects pilots have seen with no real information as to what they are.
[02:20:15]  Point out alien.gov.
[02:20:16]  Try and get a lot of people to sign up for alien.gov.
[02:20:18]  It's a marketing campaign.
[02:20:19]  Yeah.
[02:20:20]  Yeah.
[02:20:22]  Alien.gov just turns out to be illegal aliens.
[02:20:24]  I was just going to say, yeah, it's all actually just a troll to like push ice.
[02:20:28]  Like, the aliens are here.
[02:20:29]  They're among us.
[02:20:30]  It's all real.
[02:20:31]  We have to fight back.
[02:20:32]  Good disclosure.
[02:20:33]  They're aliens.
[02:20:34]  Get them out.
[02:20:36]  Maybe we could get a real number of how many illegals are actually here.
[02:20:38]  That would be a great disclosure.
[02:20:40]  I can't fathom that they would actually say extraterrestrial aliens have come to Earth.
[02:20:45]  That would be so crazy for the government to try that card.
[02:20:48]  That'd be so crazy.
[02:20:50]  So I don't know what they're going to do, but definitely they're going to mention Alien.gov.
[02:20:55]  It's at what, three tomorrow?
[02:20:57]  Is that call that they're having?
[02:20:58]  Oh, good.
[02:20:59]  But it's probably.
[02:21:00]  No, that was today.
[02:21:01]  That was today.
[02:21:02]  Yeah, because the Rogan is delayed.
[02:21:04]  Oh, that's right.
[02:21:05]  Did they do something on Rogan?
[02:21:07]  You said Rogan?
[02:21:08]  Yeah, obviously.
[02:21:09]  Tim Burchett was on.
[02:21:09]  This is the segment that we covered where I read Tim Burchett appeared on Joe Rogan's show.
[02:21:14]  I think he was on Rogan.
[02:21:15]  I think I just heard you talking about Burchett.
[02:21:16]  Okay.
[02:21:17]  Yeah.
[02:21:18]  That was the story.
[02:21:18]  And he told Rogan, tomorrow they're going to call me, which was today because it's.
[02:21:23]  I wonder what happened.
[02:21:25]  Tim.
[02:21:25]  Say anything?
[02:21:27]  We should get Burchett.
[02:21:28]  I'm sure he'd be down to come on the show.
[02:21:29]  He can't tell us anything.
[02:21:31]  But I feel like they're using Burchett and really making him think something is real that's not.
[02:21:37]  They're talking to a lot of people, not just.
[02:21:38]  Maybe they'll disclose that all those people that we thought disappeared are actually safe and they are working with them.
[02:21:44]  I think Michael Crichton's understanding of aliens was always the best one.
[02:21:47]  It's like basically things out there would be so radically different that any hope of peaceful communication would be impossible.
[02:21:54]  That's incorrect.
[02:21:54]  You think so?
[02:21:56]  Yeah, because.
[02:21:59]  So, assuming there is intelligent alien life, you can then start to look at the mediums for which we understand.
[02:22:06]  Again, all based on human understanding, which is limited, but based on our understanding, water is a principal medium by which information can be exchanged.
[02:22:13]  So, they're going to be likely water based.
[02:22:14]  That's why we think if there's water, there's life.
[02:22:17]  If they're intelligent beings from a water planet, they're not going to be able to leave that planet or communicate, so we'll never experience that.
[02:22:23]  You can't build rockets, you can't refine elements or compounds, you can't do any of that.
[02:22:28]  They would actually have to come from a relatively comparably sized planet for propulsion to work for fuel propellants like we have.
[02:22:36]  They would have to have something to manipulate, they'd have to have digits of some sort to manipulate small objects, and they would have to come from a balanced oxygen environment.
[02:22:47]  To be able to create fire, which is the basis for which we can separate elements and create technology.
[02:22:51]  So they would actually be remarkably similar.
[02:22:53]  Yeah, they would have to be.
[02:22:55]  If Trump was like, the aliens are here among us, they're inside of us, and if you smoke DMT, you can communicate with the aliens, I would believe him.
[02:23:04]  If he said that, I'd be like, oh, now the government actually knows about the aliens.
[02:23:07]  No, then I would assume they're actually demons.
[02:23:09]  I would assume that as well.
[02:23:11]  What if the Scientologists are right, man?
[02:23:13]  And they're all lizard people?
[02:23:15]  And it's just like the lizard people?
[02:23:17]  The Scientologists, they say, Xenu, is that what it is?
[02:23:20]  Yeah, you gotta check your Thetans.
[02:23:21]  What is that, right?
[02:23:22]  Thetans or some crap?
[02:23:23]  Yeah.
[02:23:24]  Thetans?
[02:23:25]  Yeah, when they're doing the little Dianetics thing where they check it, they're supposed to be checking your Thetan.
[02:23:29]  Well, they don't tell you that.
[02:23:31]  Aren't they just finding stuff to blackmail you with?
[02:23:33]  Well, it's like a billion year contract, right?
[02:23:36]  Well, I don't know.
[02:23:37]  Why two billion years?
[02:23:38]  They really wrap you up.
[02:23:39]  Yeah.
[02:23:40]  They know how space time works.
[02:23:42]  It's a flat plane.
[02:23:45]  I'd like to make a point.
[02:23:46]  Tim, you just said Burchett can't tell you anything.
[02:23:48]  I would disagree.
[02:23:50]  I mean, he would certainly lose his clearance, but any congressman could absolutely divulge everything they heard in a skiff on the House floor.
[02:23:58]  It's a criminal act, but of course they could, yes.
[02:24:01]  Yeah.
[02:24:02]  They go to prison, but yeah.
[02:24:04]  As stupid and as crazy as our congresspeople were, you think someone would have done that right now?
[02:24:07]  They're immune.
[02:24:08]  They can say anything they want.
[02:24:09]  You mean on the floor?
[02:24:10]  You're saying on the House.
[02:24:11]  Speech and debate clause.
[02:24:12]  Yeah.
[02:24:13]  Yeah.
[02:24:14]  Constitutionally protected.
[02:24:15]  But then again, they'd lose their clearance and they'd be kicked off every committee and it would end their career.
[02:24:20]  But if somebody were retiring.
[02:24:23]  They absolutely could.
[02:24:24]  I think it was Dan Bongino who said he would muddy the waters at the FBI.
[02:24:28]  He'd release fake information to see who was the mole.
[02:24:31]  I wonder if they're doing that with these.
[02:24:32]  Well, it didn't work out very well and he left.
[02:24:34]  Wouldn't George Santos have told us since he had nothing to lose if the aliens were real and he knew?
[02:24:39]  Well, he told us on this show before going to Congress he didn't believe in aliens.
[02:24:43]  Afterwards, he did.
[02:24:44]  Interesting.
[02:24:45]  He said he had been briefed.
[02:24:47]  He can't explain on what or how or anything related to it.
[02:24:49]  So then I think it was Phil who asked, Do you believe in aliens?
[02:24:53]  And he goes, No.
[02:24:56]  Interesting.
[02:24:57]  That is interesting.
[02:25:00]  So, I'll tell you what I think.
[02:25:01]  Okay.
[02:25:02]  I think the thing is okay, this is what the government is going to say yes to.
[02:25:06]  They're going to say UFOs are real, but we don't know what they are.
[02:25:09]  They're going to give us some videos of weird stuff, and it's going to be partially redacted.
[02:25:13]  And they're going to say, we don't know what that is.
[02:25:15]  And we're going to get some pictures, same thing.
[02:25:16]  We're going to say, we don't know what that is.
[02:25:18]  We're going to get some documents like Hatter reports, which is hazardous aircraft reports.
[02:25:22]  We're going to get range file reports.
[02:25:24]  And then we're going to get heavily redacted documents like MISREPs and actual official UAP reports.
[02:25:30]  What we're not going to hear or see is that the government is not going to say UFOs are real and they're not being by humans.
[02:25:36]  They're not going to say aliens are real.
[02:25:37]  They're not going to say aliens are here.
[02:25:39]  They're not going to say we've been in contact with aliens or that we have recovered UFOs.
[02:25:43]  They're not going to say we've reverse engineered anything or that they have alien bodies.
[02:25:46]  And they sure as hell aren't going to say UFOs are a threat.
[02:25:51]  That's what I think.
[02:25:52]  Yeah, that's a good prediction.
[02:25:54]  I would agree with that.
[02:25:55]  Seems very, very likely.
[02:25:57]  This is my seventh call, I think, and probably the fourth time I've talked about aliens.
[02:26:00]  I swear I'm not a nerd.
[02:26:01]  Keep doing it.
[02:26:03]  This is one of my favorite topics.
[02:26:06]  There's things I can say and things I cannot say.
[02:26:09]  So that's about all you're getting out of me.

=== Parallel Systems for AI (07:19) ===

[02:26:11]  Wow.
[02:26:11]  I want to hear more.
[02:26:13]  Well, I think that's the most right, I would say.
[02:26:18]  I think you have the best idea, the best prediction that I've heard so far.
[02:26:20]  Thing.
[02:26:21]  We don't know what it is.
[02:26:22]  Redacted, redacted.
[02:26:23]  The real.
[02:26:24]  Here's videos.
[02:26:25]  People have witnessed them.
[02:26:25]  We don't know what it is or where it comes from.
[02:26:27]  And we don't have anything else to say.
[02:26:28]  Thank you.
[02:26:28]  Have a nice day.
[02:26:29]  And then six months later, they go, We do believe that they may be non human intelligence, but we're not sure.
[02:26:35]  Six months later, they go, We now believe it is non human intelligence visiting us.
[02:26:39]  Then people start seeing them six months later.
[02:26:41]  Then for a year, people are spotting them all over the place and people kind of get bored of them.
[02:26:45]  You know, something like that.
[02:26:46]  And then you load up Chrome, your browser, or Brave if you're using it, and it's totally hijacked by an alien, but it's actually AI.
[02:26:54]  They're like building it up towards when super intelligence goes critical.
[02:26:58]  Maybe.
[02:27:00]  Yeah.
[02:27:01]  Maybe.
[02:27:01]  Do you want anything else or should I shout anything out?
[02:27:05]  Yeah, just a couple quick things.
[02:27:07]  So it's fun for me that the Hantavirus is in the news because I actually am a Hantavirus survivor, and I'll be happy to talk about it during the after show.
[02:27:15]  So.
[02:27:16]  Stick around for that.
[02:27:18]  And then, if I'm going to plug anything, my dear, dear friend, Adam Johnson, the lectern guy, you should go donate to his campaign at voteadamjohnson.com.
[02:27:27]  And I think everyone who watches your show is familiar with him.
[02:27:30]  And then, other than that, you can follow me on Twitter.
[02:27:33]  I'm Angry Fat White Guy, white spelled YT.
[02:27:35]  So that's all I got, guys.
[02:27:37]  Thanks for taking my call.
[02:27:38]  Thanks for calling in, brother.
[02:27:40]  Next up, we've got Empyrean Paladin.
[02:27:44]  Is that what that is?
[02:27:46]  Yes, it is.
[02:27:47]  Hello.
[02:27:47]  Long time listener, first time caller.
[02:27:50]  Excellent.
[02:27:51]  What's going on, brother?
[02:27:53]  I had a question for my local Florida man, Oren, and the rest of the gang.
[02:27:59]  So, do you think it's possible for the right to retake the universities and education from the left?
[02:28:06]  And.
[02:28:08]  Well, answer that part of that.
[02:28:10]  Yeah, if you have a follow up, let Oren answer that and then go in with your next adjunct.
[02:28:18]  I think it's possible if you're willing to.
[02:28:21]  Strip the system down and rebuild it from the ground up.
[02:28:23]  I don't think the idea that you're going to like legislate teachers or college professors into teaching something specific is ever going to work.
[02:28:32]  They'll always find a way around it, they'll always subvert the system.
[02:28:36]  So I think you would need to have the, you know, just stones to go in there and basically rip this thing out and root and branch and then build up new faculties, build up new systems.
[02:28:47]  That's the only way you'd actually get control of it.
[02:28:49]  If you're just trying to do this piecemeal thing, it's not going to work.
[02:28:53]  Yep.
[02:28:54]  Well, the second part of that was should we try and make a parallel system of parallel institutions?
[02:29:03]  I think you should always do that.
[02:29:04]  We need to understand that a lot of people say, oh, conservatives don't go to college, don't do this, don't do that.
[02:29:11]  The problem is elites actually drive political outcomes.
[02:29:15]  So if you don't have conservative lawyers, doctors, people in powerful positions, then that doesn't work.
[02:29:22]  Plumbers are awesome, plumbers are great, but they're never going to get you a Supreme Court ruling.
[02:29:26]  On the other side of that, like you should build these parallel systems because if you don't have anything to replace the corrupt stuff we already have, then once you disassemble it, it doesn't work.
[02:29:35]  So it's kind of you need to do both.
[02:29:37]  You need some level of entryism in the current system, and then you need to develop parallel systems simultaneously so there's something to switch over to.
[02:29:43]  Do you think it's reasonable to utilize AI as like a schooling tactic?
[02:29:48]  I think AI is a phenomenal way to ensure that no one ever learns anything ever again.
[02:29:55]  When I was teaching kids, Treated Google basically as already like this magic eight ball that told them everything.
[02:30:01]  That was their entire epistemological understanding.
[02:30:04]  And when you just turn all of your thinking over to AI, what you're actually doing is turning it over to whoever makes AI, which is what Frank Herbert said in Dune, anyway.
[02:30:14]  I found if you ask the right questions, AI can be a good teacher.
[02:30:19]  AI, of course, can summarize things for you and that kind of thing.
[02:30:23]  But if you've ever actually asked AI things, it lies to you all the time.
[02:30:26]  And if you don't know about the subject you're asking about, you're just learning the lies.
[02:30:31]  So basically, you already need to have a high degree of knowledge in an area to truly utilize the aggregating ability of AI.
[02:30:39]  Which most people don't have.
[02:30:40]  They just see whatever it puts in front of them and they say, oh, that's it.
[02:30:43]  And in the schooling system, it's vetted because you could do the same thing, could happen at a school where the teachers just tell you the wrong information and you believe it.
[02:30:50]  Oh, yeah, absolutely.
[02:30:51]  But the problem with AI is that people don't even doubt it in the way that they doubt teachers or other authorities.
[02:30:57]  They think of it as some kind of neutral force.
[02:30:59]  And this is a general problem with modernity.
[02:31:01]  We want to avoid human responsibility by putting it on automated systems and thinking that somehow removes bias.
[02:31:07]  Oh, well, it's a constitution, it's a computer, it does its own.
[02:31:10]  It does what it's programmed to do, not what we tell it to do.
[02:31:12]  I'm not ruled by man.
[02:31:14]  I'm ruled by a computer or a set of values.
[02:31:16]  No, you're always ruled by people.
[02:31:18]  It's always people making these decisions.
[02:31:19]  They're always deciding what goes into the computer or the constitution or whatever.
[02:31:23]  And real quick, I think a real great example of how AI will destroy us.
[02:31:27]  Have you seen the videos where they say we had ChatGPT recreate this image 100 times?
[02:31:31]  And it's not, yeah, it's like the worst thing ever.
[02:31:35]  And then they show you each new frame it generates.
[02:31:37]  And by the end, it's a fat Mexican woman eating a watermelon.
[02:31:39]  Right.
[02:31:40]  Yeah, like.
[02:31:41]  That's what's happening.
[02:31:42]  So these kids will go on to AI and say, I, you know, write me up an outline for a report on the history of Rome.
[02:31:48]  It'll get some facts wrong.
[02:31:49]  They'll write it up.
[02:31:51]  It'll get the teacher will take it and then run it through the AI, and the AI will say, Yep, all good.
[02:31:55]  And they'll give it a good grade.
[02:31:56]  AI is already a cataclysm for education at scale because teachers relied on like, you know, these systems of grade scans and automated tests and everything else.
[02:32:07]  And all the kids are just using AI to like write all their essays and cheat on all their stuff.
[02:32:10]  And the teachers are using AI to figure out.
[02:32:12]  To correct it.
[02:32:12]  Exactly.
[02:32:13]  Because that's the only way they can keep up with the scale.
[02:32:15]  The scale is the problem, and no one's going to address that problem.
[02:32:18]  No, in fact, they're going the other way, right?
[02:32:20]  I mean, you have a lot of even conservative people in education saying that we need more AI in education.
[02:32:26]  Because they think it eliminates the human element of the liberal problem.
[02:32:30]  They're wrong.
[02:32:31]  They're totally wrong.
[02:32:32]  We're going to sell ourselves slavery to these models by telling them they free us from our previous systems, which they absolutely do not.
[02:32:40]  No, they make it worse.
[02:32:41]  And the thing, too, is the people that were programming the AI.
[02:32:44]  Like, they are the ones, they all came through these same completely corrupt institutions and have these bogus ideas because they didn't actually learn anything other than how to code.
[02:32:54]  Yeah.
[02:32:54]  At some point, you actually just have to go with human virtue.
[02:32:57]  And since we built our entire system to avoid faulty systems of human virtue, we basically have closed ourselves up from all actual natural organic ways to solve this problem.
[02:33:08]  So, when you say it's a problem of scale, you're indicating that putting 100 people in a classroom and giving them one teacher is like a.
[02:33:15]  If a parent is educating their child and using AI as an assistant, that would be a better use.
[02:33:19]  In fact, you're hitting a position where, unless you get like one to one or one to like maybe four monitoring, education is going to basically become impossible.
[02:33:28]  Yeah, we used to have pod learning.

=== Homeschooling with AI Assistants (02:41) ===

[02:33:30]  It was called Play Group.
[02:33:31]  And every week we'd go to a different parent's house and it'd be like four or six kids, four kids, really four kids.
[02:33:36]  That was how we, that was a lot of our learning and socialization in addition to schooling, you know, the central authority.
[02:33:41]  Yeah.
[02:33:42]  Okay.
[02:33:43]  The way that you used to handle scale was.
[02:33:45]  Passing the responsibility between different responsible virtuous actors inside your society, and instead, what we tried to do was automate it.
[02:33:53]  And as soon as we did that, we lost control of the human element.
[02:33:56]  And therefore, we opened ourselves up to all of the issues that we consistently run into when we're attempting to deal with scale.
[02:34:05]  I have more questions.
[02:34:06]  Do you guys homeschool?
[02:34:07]  Do you homeschool?
[02:34:08]  Yes.
[02:34:09]  That's pretty cool.
[02:34:10]  Do you use AI?
[02:34:11]  Not really.
[02:34:13]  Collar, did you have a follow up?
[02:34:16]  I got a fun Mongo I can tell you about that deals with the alien disclosure and the illegal immigrant problem.
[02:34:26]  I got a fun manga I can tell you about.
[02:34:28]  Full Metal Alchemist.
[02:34:29]  It's really great.
[02:34:30]  It's a great classic.
[02:34:31]  But there's this manga called Drama Queen.
[02:34:34]  Big Trigon?
[02:34:35]  Yeah.
[02:34:35]  Big Trigon.
[02:34:37]  What'd you call it?
[02:34:37]  Drama Queen?
[02:34:39]  Yep.
[02:34:40]  So Drama Queen is about how aliens allegedly saved the earth from a meteor.
[02:34:46]  And now they're coming in as this privileged class of migrants who are treated better than everyone else.
[02:34:54]  And it's about how the two main characters are a guy who lost his.
[02:34:59]  Family to a drunk alien driver and it got covered up, and a sociopath who finds out that, uh, well, she likes the taste of alien.
[02:35:13]  So, uh, the one guy kills the aliens and she eats them.
[02:35:18]  Yeah.
[02:35:19]  Wow.
[02:35:20]  I'm like, leave it to them.
[02:35:21]  It's actually been pretty funny and entertaining.
[02:35:24]  I was gonna say, leave it to the Japanese.
[02:35:25]  I just assumed that was a Japanese thing.
[02:35:27]  Yeah.
[02:35:28]  The thing is, a lot of it seems very topical reading through it.
[02:35:34]  Yeah, Naruto was really good and they got retarded at the end.
[02:35:38]  And now, uh, Baruto is also retarded, unfortunately.
[02:35:42]  Have you seen that one where the chicken is the samurai?
[02:35:46]  Oh, I've heard of it.
[02:35:47]  Yeah.
[02:35:47]  It's strange.
[02:35:48]  Yeah, that seems kind of funny, though.
[02:35:50]  Uh, you want to shout anything out other than weird Japanese porn?
[02:35:54]  I think that's, uh, Ian's job.
[02:36:00]  Okay.
[02:36:01]  Thank you.
[02:36:02]  I'll take it.
[02:36:02]  Uh, but, uh, thank you guys for all your hard work and being the sincere actors and the, uh, Community, thanks for calling in, brother.

=== Japanese Manga Propaganda (04:31) ===

[02:36:11]  Thanks for having me.
[02:36:11]  Have a good one, Florida.
[02:36:12]  Thank you.
[02:36:13]  Yeah, someone in the chat mentioned Cowboy Bebop, which is really unfortunate that it only got 24 episodes.
[02:36:19]  Yeah, the music, plague doctor.
[02:36:21]  What's up?
[02:36:22]  And the story was great, the characters were great.
[02:36:24]  And then the Netflix series was fucking dumb, but I guess it got canceled because they could, they're like, it's too violent.
[02:36:31]  We don't want to go that way.
[02:36:32]  Oh, it's wonderful.
[02:36:34]  At some level, it's usually good that those things end a little early, they don't have to fall off.
[02:36:38]  That's how Seinfeld felt about his show, plague doc.
[02:36:40]  What up?
[02:36:44]  Just one question, but considering the whole Hanta virus, and it's actually endemic from my country, and usually these cases every year.
[02:36:52]  Wait, wait, wait, let me slow it so because of your accent, your audio clipped and the accent was a little thick, so I had a hard time understanding.
[02:36:59]  But say that again Hansa's from your home country?
[02:37:03]  Hanta is also in my home country.
[02:37:07]  Your audio is like clipping.
[02:37:08]  If you could speak a little closer, it's coming in and out.
[02:37:10]  Yeah.
[02:37:12]  This problem of the internet in Australia is terrible.
[02:37:15]  Perfect.
[02:37:16]  Okay, I think we got you.
[02:37:17]  Yeah.
[02:37:19]  You know, go for it.
[02:37:24]  Yeah.
[02:37:25]  Okay.
[02:37:26]  So, considering that people, there is the old motto of don't let a good crisis go to waste, how do you think it will play in the next election and what is the probability they will begin to blow it up out of the proportions or the election cycle?
[02:37:41]  I mean, immediately, day one, I saw someone at Polymarket, somebody tweeted out that they're now looking into a vaccine for Hantavirus.
[02:37:50]  That's fake.
[02:37:50]  It's fake news.
[02:37:51]  Could be fake news.
[02:37:52]  They've been working on all these.
[02:37:54]  This is what people do.
[02:37:55]  I'm so sick of the internet, bro.
[02:37:56]  Yeah, but beware of opportunistic capitalists that see a virus and they want to capitalize on it.
[02:38:01]  They've been working on the Hantavirus vaccines for a long time because it's been around for decades.
[02:38:05]  Won't deny it, but when it gets into the news, they might get more funding for it.
[02:38:09]  I don't know.
[02:38:10]  I don't know.
[02:38:11]  Sure, maybe.
[02:38:13]  You'll get Congress to pass a bill or something.
[02:38:15]  We do need to protect against that.
[02:38:18]  What other ways were you thinking that they would be prepping people for something?
[02:38:23]  What were you thinking?
[02:38:27]  So far, at the beginning, we.
[02:38:32]  Oh, man, you're on your.
[02:38:33]  You're cutting out, man.
[02:38:34]  We can barely hear you.
[02:38:36]  You're not.
[02:38:38]  The Hantavirus is zoonotic, so it implies that it's only transmitted from mice, not from rats, not from human to human.
[02:38:48]  I think that the propaganda can be strong, like saying there is human to human transmission.
[02:38:54]  Oh, you think they're playing up the human to human thing, but it's actually from mouse poop?
[02:38:57]  Yeah.
[02:38:58]  You said it's not from rats, it's from mice?
[02:39:01]  It's right.
[02:39:02]  I guess the real question is like, would they ever have the credibility to try to do another global lockdown again?
[02:39:08]  Like, would you force that was a one time flex of power, or is that like something that's reproducible?
[02:39:15]  I don't think I've done that again.
[02:39:17]  Yeah, that's the real question.
[02:39:19]  Even if whether the viruses are real or fake, the more important question is are the systems of control replicable?
[02:39:25]  Yeah, like real talk, we're out of the WHO, as far as I know, we're totally out of it.
[02:39:29]  And like, if the world wants to shut down, fucking let them, let the US stay open and dominate even harder.
[02:39:35]  Whatever.
[02:39:36]  No, it's a real question.
[02:39:37]  Yeah.
[02:39:38]  Even if 40% of people are dying?
[02:39:40]  Well, no.
[02:39:41]  If 40% of the people are dying, all hands on.
[02:39:43]  That's why I said comply or not comply doesn't matter in Honda virus.
[02:39:46]  40% of people dead means you'd look out the window and see corpses everywhere and be like, I ain't going outside.
[02:39:49]  Well, it's not about choice.
[02:39:50]  Yeah.
[02:39:51]  People would probably self-quarantine themselves.
[02:39:55]  Well, that was the fascinating thing about COVID: people treated it like that's what was happening because they weren't allowed to go outside.
[02:40:02]  So they couldn't make contact with what was really going on.
[02:40:06]  So people treated it as if it would instantly kill you the minute it got out there.
[02:40:09]  You'd catch it, and then you walked outside, and they had that level of deception.
[02:40:14]  But people were really dropping dead at that rate in the street.
[02:40:16]  But we also kept getting those videos from China that everyone showed people, like, presumably dropping dead.
[02:40:23]  Getting welded into their homes.
[02:40:25]  So remember the video of the wailing people wailing in the city?
[02:40:28]  Like a guy with his camera from the.
[02:40:31]  I don't even know if it was real.
[02:40:32]  Terrible.
[02:40:33]  Yeah, and who knows?
[02:40:34]  Well, now imagine what they're going to do with AI videos.
[02:40:37]  If everyone's quarantined again, all the boomers would be absolutely one shot.
[02:40:41]  Yeah.
[02:40:41]  Yeah.

=== Fecal Masks and Deception (01:23) ===

[02:40:42]  The mask wearing a mask was the grossest.
[02:40:45]  It was one of the grossest things I've ever had to go.
[02:40:47]  Really disgusting smelling your own fecal breath.
[02:40:49]  Like that, dude, you have fecal bacteria that grows in the back of your throat after you eat.
[02:40:53]  It's putrefactive, cadaverine, and putrescine.
[02:40:56]  And just breathing that shit into the mask and then re it was so fucking nasty and hurt so many people.
[02:41:01]  I'm no, no, I'm ready for that shit.
[02:41:04]  Yeah, that was gross.
[02:41:07]  Yeah, do you have a follow up, ma'am?
[02:41:10]  Yeah, no, I just wanted to shout out like Phil Levante, hopefully.
[02:41:15]  Sadly, he's not here, so he can keep, probably he's keeping those free helicopter rides going.
[02:41:22]  Keeping the what?
[02:41:23]  The what?
[02:41:23]  Kill helicopter rides.
[02:41:24]  He's killing communists.
[02:41:26]  I mean, transporting communists.
[02:41:28]  Where they belong.
[02:41:30]  Into the middle of the Pacific.
[02:41:32]  Yeah, they're good swimmers.
[02:41:33]  Communists are known for their swimming.
[02:41:34]  Yeah, Soviet.
[02:41:35]  Lots of medals, slash steroids.
[02:41:37]  Thank you very much.
[02:41:38]  You want to shout anything out?
[02:41:39]  No, that's for real.
[02:41:41]  Thank you very much.
[02:41:42]  Thanks, dude.
[02:41:42]  All right.
[02:41:43]  Thanks for calling in, brother.
[02:41:45]  All right.
[02:41:47]  It's been fun, everybody.
[02:41:48]  Tomorrow, Sam Nunnberg will be joining us.
[02:41:51]  Next week's going to get crazy because we're having a bunch of these pastors come in.
[02:41:53]  Brett Weinstein's going to be joining us as well, so it's going to be a lot of fun.
[02:41:56]  And it's going to be great.
[02:41:58]  It's going to be great.
[02:41:58]  Thank you all so much for hanging out.
[02:41:59]  We're back tomorrow morning, of course.
[02:42:01]  Aaron, always great to have you.
[02:42:03]  Absolutely.
[02:42:03]  Thanks for having me again, man.
[02:42:04]  Absolutely.
[02:42:04]  And we'll see you all tomorrow.
