All of the food we eat and much of the clothing we wear comes from plants and animals that are raised on farms.
Farms are different in type, in size, and even in name.
Welcome to Barn Talk. What happens at the barn stays in the barn, but not today.
We're going to let it all out for you guys. It's hotter than a hot pocket today, and the topics are pretty hot,

one of you guys for listen to the story of farmer grade sharing your thoughts and feedback and for those
of you that went on the site and bought a box from bottom of my heart i really do appreciate it a lot of
sweating tears went into it and we're looking to just keep keep her going and keep growing it so
thank you thank you thank you for those that uh supported us on that that was that's touching got
gotta give them got to give them their probs man i uh i just enjoyed some farmer grade pork chops
just about three nights ago and they were awesome they were damn good video on probably on
farmer grade and this will do uh of torx pork chop recipe coming soon we're gonna try to get by the time
the box is shipped we're going to try to get by the time the box is shipped we're going to
try to have some content of how do you cook this delicious pork that you got from Farmer Grade?
So just another project we're adding to the list.
So I'm fresh, fresh off of Chorin this morning.
It was a good Chorn day.
Did you have a good Chorn day?
I'm fresh too.
I smell ripe.
Well, nothing was wrong.
There were no catastrophes.
So I feel pretty good about that.
And usually that doesn't happen on a Friday or Saturday.
If anything is going to go wrong, it usually goes wrong.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Mostly Sunday.
Yeah, Sunday is usually the prime day.
Sunday fix it, baby.
But today, good day.
We got a good rain.
We got over an inch of rain here three days ago, maybe.
Corn's looking good, beans are looking good,
beans are finally covering the row,
only about a month late for that.
Corn is Taslin.
Fair week here in southeast Iowa.
Kea Kuk County Fair is going on right now, and our local fair starts next week. So there's a lot of
stressed out parents out there running around, making eight trips to the hardware store to get
whatever they need, you know, to get ready to take their livestock to the fair. And so next week
will be guaranteed either blazing hot or a torrential downpour or all of that, because that's
usually what happens during the fair. So without a further ado, the market update today,
corn, and this is yesterday's close, corn is up seven cents the last time I checked, but the
local prices are from yesterday. Corn 593.
Eddieville had a $598 bid through the 22nd, and the best price I could find local was $5.79,
Beans 1518, 1508 at Burlington, 1528 on the other side of the river.
Wheat 625, beanmeal, 430 blazing dollars a ton.
And hogs, hogs, $102, that's on the August, that's on the August month because we switched.
Feeder cattle, $245, $100, weight, regular fat cow.
Fat cattle, $176, crude oil, $77, Bitcoin, $31,600.
It's up.
So all of the Bitcoin miners that I saw data from, their production was all down for June, and the price is up,
and most miners are holding as much Bitcoin as they can.
So in other words, they're not selling any more than they have to.
so that and the fact that Black Rock and somebody else are in the process of getting ETFs
means Bitcoin supply is tight even though consumer price index came out the other day and it was lower
and I'll just touch on that for a minute that was kind of a big deal in the fact that the worst month
we had for inflation was last year in June. June last year's
consumer price index 9%. That was when inflation was blazing hot. This month, compared to last
month, it was actually down. Last month, 4%, this month, 3%. So that made everybody feel better.
Everybody thinks the Fed is still going to raise interest rates, but I think the stock market feels
better about things. And we could do a whole other deal about how the Fed is,
is kind of band-aiding all these banks, but we won't do that today.
Ethereum, just shy of $2,000 for Ethereum.
I think that's the highest.
That's been a long time.
Tesla, $280.
Tesla's pretty much kicking everybody's ass in the EV field.
I won't go off on that.
And meta, $313 a share.
And the reason I quoted meta is because I hadn't really paid attention to this,
but I looked at the chart the other day.
and I don't think you could find a more perfect up trending chart over a year's time than what meta is.
And they were, I did not realize this, but they were basically $90 a share last November.
And they closed yesterday at $313 a share.
That's pretty impressive.
And part of they've been up lately, and we're going to talk about it,
because one of their hot new products is threads.
threads and they're they're competing directly with twitter and we're going to see a cage match at
Elon and Zuckerberg maybe yes supposedly you know I'm I'm a big I'm a more big of a fan of
Elon than I am Zuck but I'll have to say Zuckerberg knows Jiu-Jitsu and I've seen he's hanging out
with some UFC fighters and I think he's getting taught all the moves he needs to have so he can kick
Musk's ass, but it would make
some damn good entertainment
value for sure.
Neither one of them to me
seem like they're incredibly flexible.
Zuckerberg,
I'm sure, much more than Musk.
But Zuckerberg's not exactly
what I would say built.
Well, you must have not seen the most recent picture
him standing next to two UFC fighters.
But they've been feeding him Tiger Blood or something?
Well, they've probably been feeding him a little bit of TRT,
I would assume.
getting some testosterone and he's been putting on some weight.
He looks pretty good.
He looks shredded.
And I always see videos of him on the water skiing and wakeboarding and surfing.
He's always fighting in jujitsu.
I don't know how he must have some damn good execs at meta to run everything.
But he enjoys his life, it looks like.
Age is definitely on his side, isn't it?
Oh, yeah.
He's a good 10 years ago at Elon.
Oh, yeah.
I'd say maybe 15, 20 years.
Yeah.
I don't know for sure, but I know that he started, when did he start Facebook?
He was in college.
He was probably 19 or 20.
Yeah.
When he started Facebook.
Elon's my age. Elon's 51 or 52.
Yeah, I think that, I think it'd make great entertainment.
It's something that's different because usually we have, you know, the Logan Pauls
and the Jake Pauls of the world that are trying to fight fighters that are out of their prime or whatever
and they make a whole thing.
but this new like, hey, two entrepreneurs that are really successful facing off,
that, I don't know, that'd be kind of cool to see.
Anything for the ratings.
Oh, yeah.
And I think that they both gain a lot of, you know, publicity.
And maybe people would hate Zuckerberg less because there's a lot of people that hate Zuckerberg
because of the whole, you know, privacy and data and all that.
And maybe it's a good thing for him to try to relate to the public a little bit.
A little bit.
Zuckerberg does not do a good job of speaking to the common man.
Any time that he's ever been.
Well, he's not very common.
And I mean, Elon's not either, but Elon does a way better job of trying to relate to the common man.
Or cracking jokes.
Everybody knows he's a smart-ass guy, but he's kind of a smart ass with his wit.
And that's kind of what people like him.
So, threads launched.
Yep.
10 days ago?
I don't know if it was 10 days.
I think it's, I don't know.
I think I downloaded it Monday or Sunday.
I can't remember of this week.
It is basically a clone to Twitter.
Looks very similar, acts very similar.
The one thing I will say is that meta made it very simple.
So is it, have they gotten to, what, 70 million users?
Last time I looked and it was like the second day that it was out was that 30 million,
but their goal was to get to over 100 million and then get it to a billion users.
And it probably is close to that 100 million now, I would think.
And I think the reason that it's grown so fast is just what you're alluding to now is it's so easy to set up.
It's so easy to set up a threads account because it is connected to your Instagram account.
You can jump back and forth from threads to Instagram seamlessly and you can copy.
and paste your bio, your profile picture, your name, your username, all, like, it literally gives you
the option when you create your profile. Do you want to just like follow everybody you follow on
Instagram? Yes. Do you copy and paste your bio, your photo, your name? Yes. And so it's just been
super easy to do and then also, um, or to set up and then also every single Instagram profile that
has a threads account. If you go to their Instagram and look at their profile, there's this weird like
icon in the top part of their profile where their bio is and it's like their thread number
and if you click that it'll take you to their threads account so i think it's spread like wow they've
done a good job of making it really seamless and easy to make a threads account and to access threads
so that's why i think it's ramped up so fast so the only thing you have to do is download the
app yep everything else if you have instagram the rest of it seems if you're pretty easy if you can
work your iphone pretty quick you could set up an account in less than five
minutes, probably two and a half minutes, honestly. So, and I'll just give you my thoughts on it.
Dad alluded to it. Yeah, Twitter, it's kind of a, we're going to get into that of how it's kind of a
copy and pace of Twitter, I think. But as a creator, uh, and we're on a lot of platforms, you know,
we're on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and we do this podcast. Adding another,
another, another, uh, platform to mix. It's really hard to try to be on all of them. We're not even,
that active on Twitter.
And it's just, it gives me, not anxiety,
but just gives me another like, oh boy, here we go.
I got to look at another platform,
keep my eyes on another platform.
The one thing I don't get about threads,
and I think it hurts Instagram,
I don't know, I don't know how to feel about it.
Maybe I want to get your guys as two cents on it,
but you can post videos on threads up to five minutes.
You can post pictures,
and you can write,
a thread like you can write a tweet on Twitter. And it's just, it's basically Twitter. But I'm like, okay,
you made it so seamless and so connected to your Instagram, but then you can post videos on it.
Like if they were going to go the route of, well, we're just going to use threads as written word,
written word, right? And it was going to be just another element of Instagram where you can't just
write written word. You have to post a picture of video. That I understand. But then making it so that you can post
videos and pictures on there. It's like, well, isn't that just taking away from Instagram?
Because I'm looking at it as somebody that, hey, this is a new platform. You could probably have
some pretty good organic reach on there. But what do you post? Do you tweet or do you,
create a thread? Do you post, do I take the videos that we're already posting on everything else
and put it on threads? Does that dilute? Does that take away from what we're doing on Instagram if
we're going to just do it on threads as well? And if it's the same audience, the same people that are
following you from threads or from Instagram or following you on threads. I don't know. I feel really
weird about it. I don't know how to feel about it as a creator creating on threads. Right now,
we haven't done very much on it just because I don't know what to do, to be honest with you. And I'm
just kind of looking at the landscape of how people are using it. But honestly, I don't know,
I don't know how to feel about it. Yeah. So I think that's the question is, one, does threads
create something new that brings a different audience because to what you said if all they're doing
is getting everybody that's already in their ecosystem everybody that's in Facebook and
Instagram if they're getting them to sign up aren't you just diluting your audience that you
already have so in other words if you're meta if you're not bringing people over from
Twitter or bringing people over from TikTok or snap or whatever, then is it really a gain?
Is it taken away from Facebook and Instagram?
Right.
Because if it is, you've just added an expense to your ecosystem and you haven't really
gotten any gain out of it.
I think that there probably are seeing some people that are strictly just used Twitter
coming over just to check it out.
Because it is a lot like Twitter.
Yep. And so for people that use Twitter a lot, I'm sure they've came over to threads and
checked it out. And I don't know if they're posting what they post on Twitter and posted it
on threads. I'm just not a big Twitter guy. I'm not great at written word. I'm not a great
writer. So I'm not very witty. And so that's why we don't use Twitter that much. But yeah,
I agree with you. I think the only, like I was just going to say TikTok, when they came out,
they were doing something revolutionary in the social media space. They did
something completely different. The For You page, everybody else followed after TikTok created
the everything that you see is going to be tailored for you and your interests. And it's not
going to be based on who you follow. Obviously, there's a following tab on TikTok as well. But
most of the time, everybody spends their time on the For You page, depending on how you interact
with videos. And so everybody else followed that. But now, Fred's, yeah, they're not really
changing. They're not mixing anything up. There's not adding anything new into the mix.
And so that gets into, well, so Twitter versus threads.
Like what is, some people are saying is threads going to overthrow Twitter?
And you brought up some good points about this.
Yeah.
So the talk that I've heard from the people that I follow is that,
so what makes Twitter unique is the fact that I would say it's the most,
it's a pretty focused platform and it's not for the fainted heart when you want to talk about
business or politics and the people that are on there that those two subjects are their primary
what they want to share the most about i don't feel like that they're going to enjoy threads
because if you get that crowd coming over from instagram
are sharing pictures of their dog talking about the rager that they went to last weekend or
given restaurant recommendations the people your heart your your your main users of twitter
they're not interested in that kind of stuff which has kind of made twitter what it is in the
fact that it's i would say among the platforms twitter's definitely more business oriented
uh industry focused in other words you
you know, there's ag Twitter, and I'm sure there's every other kind of groups within Twitter
that are focused on their industry. And then politics, a big amount of politics,
and the sharing of ideas happens on Twitter. And I don't think those groups necessarily will play
well, or not that they won't play well, but I just don't think they're that interested in
seeing that kind of content. So I guess, you know, time will tell.
The other thing that's really interesting, I did a little digging on this, and Twitter or threads was built.
So meta built threads in basically eight to nine months, and they had a core group of programmers of like 20 people.
And I mean, they were laser focused on getting it done and getting it up and running.
and I'm pretty sure there's a lawsuit either filed.
Wasn't there a lawsuit, a cease-a-diss?
I'm not 100% sure.
I know Elon put something on Twitter alluding to
there might be a potential lawsuit
because he talked about how it's...
It's one thing when you take an idea and build upon it,
but it's another one it's pretty much copy and paste.
And threads, it's pretty much copy and paste.
There's not a lot.
The only element that they did different is connecting the end.
Instagram two threads and making it seamless. Other than that, it's very similar. So time's just
going to tell. And I honestly, full disclosure, I have only looked at it. I haven't posted anything on it.
So, and I, I'm with you. We, I feel like there's a lot of potential with Twitter and any of you that
follow us know that somewhat inconsistently I will post like a clip when we're getting ready to shoot a
podcast or we post some of our content on Twitter but we haven't done it consistently we need to do a
better job of it but it's it's a lot unless you for us and we talk about this a lot you know
unless you have a social media manager that they are their task is making sure everyone
everything gets posted every day.
We are the social media managers.
Yeah, we're working to get somebody to be able to do that.
But when you're the one posting it all on everything,
and you live in rural America with...
Low-speed internet.
I mean, Starlink is definitely an upgrade from what we did have,
but still takes a minute versus if you have fiber.
But it just takes a while.
And that's a lot of time to sit there and just...
wait and hope and just letting your clips upload. So I would just want to say one thing about what you're
talking about with Twitter and how I think Twitter is more of a serious platform. And that's,
I think that's why people go on Twitter. I know I go on Twitter to see what's happening on politics,
to see what's, I follow a lot of business people on there that give a lot of written word content.
You know, they make, they make threads on Twitter of, you know, that's what they call it a thread.
when they have multiple tweets inside a tweet.
And you get a lot of value out of that.
It's more serious.
It's more focused.
And sometimes it's just nice to have a change up
from just constantly getting short-form video.
I think that's what makes Twitter great.
There's videos on there,
but the threads is what's cool about it,
and it's serious.
And you get to actually, like, debate people.
And what's also great about Twitter
that might be working against threads is
it's a free speech platform.
It's been a free speech platform.
And back to Zuckerberg,
how many people trust that
threads is going to be a free speech platform?
I don't know. But I know damn well
that we can probably post this podcast
on Twitter
and have no red flags, nothing. But if we posted
the threads and we do hot topics
like we are right now and we got political,
I don't know if they'd flag us or not
or shadow ban us or
you know, not allow us to reach as many people.
but Twitter is kind of open world.
Like you can post whatever you want.
So that's what I want out of that platform is if threads is going to be how Instagram and Facebook have been when it comes to censorship,
censorship, that's going to hurt them.
And that's just going to make Twitter even stronger.
So, yeah, it's up in the air.
Those are our thoughts about it.
Let us know what your guys' thoughts are on threads.
What do you think?
Is it going to last?
Is it going to make it?
Can it take down Twitter?
You know, kind of what you think about it?
Because we're still trying to figure it out, but that's all we got on it so far.
Time will tell.
And since we're already on the subject of tech, we're going to talk about AI.
And AI continues to chomp away at the world.
Scare the shit out of people.
There's a lot going on.
It's fast.
It changes fast.
I think people do not realize, we've said this on here many times.
the rate of change and the rate that this is coming is way faster than what people are even
like some people don't even have it on their radar and you need to have it on your radar because
AI is coming it's here and it is moving rapidly it is it is evolving rapidly uh and so just keep it on
your radar yeah i i won't jump ahead but there's one there's one innovation that uh
OpenAI, who is the maker of chat GTP that they've come out with.
I mean, it's kind of crazy how many people...
GPT.
GPT, did I say GTP?
Yeah.
That's because I think of STP.
Yeah.
There's too many, you know...
I could be wrong.
I got to look it up, but...
You had STP, and then you had Stone Temple Pilots, and now you got chat GPT, GPC.
GPT.
GPT.
Yeah.
See, I can't.
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
But, you know, today the leaders in this are OpenAI, Google who their AI search bot is called Bard.
And then Microsoft is playing in that.
And Microsoft actually partnered with chat, and they have a product using their Bing,
and their Bing is partnered with chat to give you,
to give you search and Bard and Bing compete against each other and then
Meta obviously is playing big time in that and then Tesla and Tesla in a little bit of a different
way in the fact that they don't have an AI
Interface out there running but
their supercomputer they built Dojo it's it's it's
goal is to be, you know, the premier machine learning AI, I don't know, monster. They're going to use it for,
they're using it to scale the training of their full self-driving. They're using it to scale the
scale, the training of their bot they're doing, but then you can't forget about Elon's implant
Neurrelink. And Neurrelink is, that's pretty scary. That's 100% AI interfacing AI with the human
mind, which, ooh, I don't know where that's going to go. I don't know the more, I don't know
how I stand on that morally, the whole Neurolink thing, because it's like, God made us to be who we all.
and at that point you're kind of playing God.
That's right.
And it's that, but it's at the same time, it's like,
if everybody puts this chip in their head and they're, like,
I almost feel like you're going to get left behind.
If everybody puts the fucking chip in your head,
the only way that you're going to make it or having it,
have it a chance to make it or be ahead or try to get ahead is you got to put this
fucking chip in your head.
And it's like, I don't know how I stand on that morally.
Hopefully, at my lifetime, I could say the same.
shit that you say to me, I can say to my kids.
Ain't going to matter.
I don't got to worry about it.
I don't have to worry about it.
But the way that it's going, I, fuck, I don't know.
You are going to be some pissed when I get that chip and then I get Jedi mind powers
and I can say things to you like, you should just chore all the pigs today.
And you just go, I think I should chore all the pigs today.
Yeah.
Then you're going to be pissed that you did get it.
Yeah, I will be pissed.
I'll probably go get it then.
I'd probably go get it then.
Oh, you won't know.
You won't know.
And then we'd be trying to do it to each other.
You're perfectly happy.
We'd just be sitting there.
We'd just be sitting there doing it.
No, I was going to say, so pretty much all, everybody's trying to get on the AI train.
They're all trying to make these, they're trying to make what chats doing, essentially.
They're trying to have this software that you type in a prompt.
It goes through all this information on the internet, and it finds what it thinks is the best answer for your prompt and provides it to you, right?
that's what it all does but there's a few of them out there that are one they're not seeing from what
we've got on this outline they're not seeing the growth or the usage that they initially thought
they would see from people and two some of them are finding themselves in some potential lawsuits
due to uh copyright so touch on that a little bit yeah and i guess one thing i'll add
which I think is the most serious problem as far as our society goes.
So OpenAI has formed a task force within their company,
and it's headed by their two best AI specialists.
And we touched on this the last time we talked about AI,
but in that industry, there's something called alignment.
And alignment is a big issue.
And what that comes down to is as you build, as you build artificial intelligence, and you train these systems to where they start thinking for themselves,
how do you ensure that their thoughts, their rationalization,
their priorities align.
So that's where the alignment comes from.
Align with what human,
what a human moral compass is,
what our priorities are.
And that's the whole,
that's the whole Terminator scenario.
That's the whole Skynet scenario,
is that at some point we get machine learning,
general intelligence to a point where
that system is smart enough to think for itself
and it realizes,
or thanks for whatever reason
that the biggest threat it has to its existence
is all of us.
That's a really bad deal.
So alignment is a big issue within this world,
and the problem is you have these different companies
that are playing in this space,
and they're not necessarily aligned with each other.
In other words, there's no...
Well, they're all competing for market share,
and then when you're doing that,
it's like any business.
A lot of people, they scale business and then they figure out, they solved the problems that
they came along the way. They weren't huge problems, but we got to our objective. Now let's go back
and let's try to put out some little fires. It's the same way with this. They are trying to move,
they're trying to get adoption. Yep. They're trying to become the premier AI software. And I'm sure
that they aren't being 100% mindful. They might tell us,
that they're being 100% mindful of AI alignment and everything that they're putting into this
AI machine learning is great and it's got this many people that validate it and all that.
But when you're going for scale, you're moving fast and you might overlook a few things.
And when you overlook something that you basically, if it's a big enough mistake that they make,
you can't put Pandora back in the box. That's the fear of it is that you,
you start something that you can't unravel.
But I lost a whole afternoon yesterday going down the rabbit hole on this.
And there's a couple of really interesting things going on.
For one, there's a lawsuit going on against chat, against OpenAI.
And the nutshell of it is that two authors have filed a lawsuit.
against OpenAI because some user of chat basically created a novel.
They put in the idea, they gave chat the idea of a story,
and chat basically gave them the written word,
and they had it published.
And the story that was written is very, very, very,
very, very similar to a novel, to literature that had already been written by these authors.
And their claim is that because their works had been used to train the AI, to train chat,
that they basically have plagiarized their works.
Well, so the whole, the lawsuit throws up the question.
When something's created using AI, who owns the rights to it?
So is it the person that asks the quarry, asked the question that creates the content?
Is it the company that wrote the software that created the AI, in this case, OpenAI?
Or is it the authors of the literature that have been fed into the system to train the AI?
So, or is it the person that wrote the prompt?
Yeah, right, exactly.
There's, it's, yeah, it's confusing.
It's very confusing.
Well, it's, and it's, it's something, and it's, it's like we're seeing it in the music industry, too.
There's these guys.
Oh, yeah.
Like this new Drake, if any of you listen to rap music, Drake, there's this Drake song that was created by a guy named Ghost Rider.
And it's called, I can't remember what it was called, but it's called, the guy's name was Ghost Rider.
and he took Drake's voice using AI, made a beat, put Drake's AI voice over it with lyrics that he made,
created the song, and it fucking exploded.
Everybody loved it.
Everybody loved it.
Got taken down by iTunes everywhere.
You can't even stream it anywhere.
You can maybe try to find an okay version on SoundCloud.
But there's a lot of shit like this that's happening that it's just unfamiliar waters that we got a, we got a, we got.
got to try to figure out and who's liable, who's not.
Who owns the rights? Who owns the rights? Who doesn't own the rights? It's a weird game we're
going to play. And lawyers are going to make a lot of money. I know that. So I made the comment,
one of the unforeseen consequences of chat that I saw was that, you know, you can ask,
you can ask it to make you a real estate contract. You can ask it to make some type of a lease.
So basically my thought was AI is going to get to the point where you really, everybody talked about how the loss of jobs, you know, that all these workers are going to be put out of business and people think of like robotics and factory workers being put out of business.
No, the people that are going to get put out of business are accountants, lawyers that do real estate law and just do your mundane stuff of writing rental contracts, real estate contracts, employment contracts, stuff like that.
Well, why have your local po-dunk lawyer write this when I can just have chat write me a contract that has been learned by, you know, umpteen law firms that it's soaked up all this data?
and copywriters, and we'll get into this, code writers, like for writing software.
Those are the people that are going to be affected first.
And this kind of plate, but then when you have this, think about how many lawsuits could
potentially happen when people start thinking, oh, well, you've stolen, you've plagiarized
my work.
And that takes us to our...
Well, but then you think about it, though, are those people going to go, well, I'm going to write up
a lawsuit using chat to sue this person?
Probably not. They're probably going to go to a lawyer.
I mean, I think it's still to, like people probably are doing legal contracts through
chat if they're good enough. But I think you have to be competent enough to know law.
True. But I think as we get to version 50 of chat, then yeah, I mean, it's going to be a
foregone conclusion that that happens. I just think it's interesting that what you got to,
do we have a stat on here of the adoption rate of it? Or do we just say that?
No.
And people just aren't using it as much as what they thought, which I think is interesting.
And we always talk about it on here, you know, for so long, we've just been, anytime the new
gadget comes out, we just accept it. Society has just said, yes, yes, yes, yes. And I think we're coming
to this point where people are more open to the idea of saying no to every new thing that comes out.
and you saw it with meta's virtual goggles.
I think most people don't want to sit in their fucking house all day and be in a virtual world,
and the market showed that.
Most people didn't want to.
I mean, Apple just came out with their virtual goggles set,
and we'll see how that plays out.
But same thing with this.
Maybe people are not using this as much because they're afraid of AI,
and they know the consequences of it,
and they want to keep real humans employed,
and they're going to take a stand and say,
we're going to be a human business.
We're not going to play in the AI field.
I know, I know, like, I know Andy Fursela, I listen to him a lot.
He's got a stance on AI.
He's anti-AI.
Like, he doesn't like it.
He thinks that the foregone conclusion is what you said, Terminator, scenario,
and that we should be very fucking mindful about it.
And he's not going to just get rid of people
in his side his company for AI.
and I'm sure there's some more people out there like that.
Well, one of the biggest people that will say that we're going way too fast to this is Elon Musk.
Yep.
And, I mean, he owns an AI company and he's all about it.
And his whole mindset is that they have, he feels that it's his responsibility to be at the cutting edge of it to be able to combat it if needed, is his idea.
And you can believe that or not.
But the other example I was going to give you that I hadn't thought anything about this was,
and this has to do with both Bard and Chats' integration with Bing.
So there is a lawsuit that has been filed because someone or multiple people, whatever,
they were asking chat through the Bing interface,
to show them articles about some subject.
And as you know, if you search on Google or whatever,
and you're looking for an article about something,
a lot of times it'll take you to a website,
and there'll be an article there.
However, you have to subscribe to that website.
Let's use the Wall Street Journal for an example.
And you can only see that if you are a subscriber.
But we also know that there's plenty of people out there
that so I'm a subscriber and I get the article and then I copy and paste the article because I think
it's really interesting part of it or all of it or whatever and I put it on my I put it on my
Instagram or I put it on Twitter or I put a link to it whatever well people were using chat and
Bing to find articles about what and the the AI is good enough that yet
it probably went to that site, but then it found somebody else that had put that article up
that had paid for it or found some way around it, and then they brought that result to you. So in other
words, you were able to read this article, this work without paying this subscription. You're getting
a premium content for free. For free. And so they filed for copyright infringement. And so that,
you know that brings up a whole new deal because in that case the a i was smart enough to circumvent
the subscription service well nobody wants that happening um so it's just a lot it's going to create a whole
new can of worms legally and all that's going to have to get sorted out i'm sure there's a guy out
trying to figure out how you can get past only fans girl subscription subscription that
He's like, give me the pictures past the subscription.
AI, give me, give me, give me that.
How do I?
Yeah, there's some guy out there probably doing it.
Yep, that's usually the early adopters.
And that's just, I mean, that's the scary thing as far as like a content creator, you know.
We all got to be aware of it and like deep fakes, like this new, when they start coming out with AI art and being able to make AI, like I saw an article of a guy that made or a woman, I don't know if it was a woman or a woman or,
guy, but they made a virtual girlfriend for guys using all AI. The pictures were AI, the voice was
AI, everything was AI, and they were just making bank off of these guys that were talking to this
virtual girl that was all generated through AI. And yeah, it's just scary. As a creator,
you got to be, we got to try to, we got to be mindful of just looking out for that stuff
because you could have people that just copyright what we do or take what we do or, you know,
and they could post it and use it as theirs. So it's something to be on the lookout for. And I think
anybody that makes any kind of content, written word articles, blog posts, video, photo,
something to be mindful of for sure. Something else that we talked about, or we haven't talked about on here,
but there was this thing going on on TikTok about there was these scammers out there that would take
this is the scary part about the internet they took a woman's a girl's voice from her video
put it and used AI transcribed it i don't know fine-tuned it then found the phone number of the
mother of that girl and called her and used the girl's AI voice that they took from her one of
her videos and said that she was being held captive and that the mom's got to pay so much money
to let her free and wire it to the you know fucking scamming her and that's the scary part about
AI right there because there again you put yourself out there on the internet and some scammer
can go into one of your videos to transcribe your voice fine tune it and call your fucking mom
and try scamming you your family out of money that's scary and that's
There's a lot of shit like that that, I don't know what you think.
I don't know how you stop that, but have a safe word is what people are saying.
Have a safe word within your family unit that when you have, if anybody ever tries calling you and scamming you out of money,
you can ask him, okay, well, what's for dinner?
And if they don't say, the AI voice doesn't say what's for dinner or whatever the fuck the code name is or code phrase that you have,
then, you know, well, this is a scam.
Our safe word is Didi Mao.
If they took my voice and called you and they're like, I need $5,000.
Or we're going to kill your son.
First of all, we would know that that, we would know that that's not you because you would tell them,
don't bother calling because we're broke.
Yeah, don't bother calling.
Well, I wouldn't know about it because they just took my voice.
So if they were calling, I'd go, well, you guys are idiots because you should have picked somebody
that actually had money.
We ain't got it money.
Yeah, I don't know.
You got to ask a question.
I don't know.
We'll have to work on that.
Yeah.
I'm not going to give everybody the safe.
Yeah, that's right.
And then we'll get fucked.
There's a few things that are, you know, we talked about how this technology is just going,
going, going, but there are some things that are kind of, I guess I'd say, possibly holding it back.
And the first one is, surprisingly, chats, subscriptions.
or users was actually down for June.
And it was only up a little bit in April.
It was flat in May and it was down in June.
And so one of the arguments with that would be,
well, obviously it's going to be down
because all these kids are out of college.
So because a lot of college kids use chat
because they're trying to write term papers
and they're trying to work the system, which that's what I would have done if I was in college.
But when you think about the scale of what they're trying to do and the worldwide adoption,
you would think that it would not make that much difference, that it would still continue to grow.
So I don't think you can account that that's just from kids getting out of school.
But one of the things I didn't realize is the free version of chat is actually,
not the most up to date as far as the information. If you're using the free version,
you're only getting information up to 2021. And to get the subscription version, which is the best,
it's like $20 a month. So that's one thing that's probably holding it back. The other thing
that I hadn't really thought about, but they were talking about it on All In podcast,
is as a society, when you think about the interfaces that we use, old people like me,
you remember if you had a Commodore 64 or you had the first, you had a Microsoft machine,
there was DOS.
DOS was the operating system, and that was a terrible operating system as far as being user-friendly.
And that's where you got Windows.
Windows was much easier for you to use.
Then we got icons.
When Apple came with the iPhone, you had icons,
and you could just find the icon that you wanted
that took you to the program that you wanted to use.
Well, today, now we've moved to basically scroll,
like on your phone, on your smartwatch, on TikTok,
on all these social media platforms,
you basically scroll to find what you're looking for.
And every step of the way, what has happened is,
and I know you're talking about a very small amount of input, but still it makes sense.
Each step has gotten to where you've had to put in less input to get more output.
So when you think about it, all you have to do is scroll to get what you want,
which is very low input to get your output.
Okay, when you go to chat, if you're typing, that's a fair amount of,
of input you get and a lot of times all you're getting is search results like you would on
Google or Bing or whatever so it's it's not it doesn't it isn't following the trend however what
what they were talking about is kids young kids they are already way more adopted of voice to text
voice to do anything and that's why everybody keeps talking about like Gary Vee was talking about
The growth of voice for the last couple of years.
Yeah, he's been on that for a while.
And chat will eventually get to where you can just do it with voice.
And they think that's the big step.
I think he always said it's because it's faster.
He thinks eventually a few years down the road,
people are going to look at it.
Look at texting or getting on Amazon on an app as a chore.
Yeah, too much work.
It's too much work to order some.
or to text somebody with your fingers.
So now it's just easier.
Your voice will get so good that you'll just want to do with your voice.
Amazon presents Jeff versus Taco Truck Salsa, whether it's Verde, Roja, or the orange one.
For Jeff, trying any salsa is like playing Russian roulette with a flamethrower.
Luckily, Jeff saved with Amazon and stocked up on antacids, ginger tea, and milk.
Habaniero, more like Habinier, yes.
Save the Everyday with Amazon.
And they think that's the next jump in the adoption of AI
is when you can just tell your virtual assistant,
you can just tell your Alexa app, you can just tell whoever.
I don't trust Alexa.
I don't either.
I don't have it.
They're all fucking listening.
They are.
They are.
Did you see that of that driver that came?
And supposedly some guy said a racial slurter.
to him and they shut down his whole house shut down his whole house shut down his prime account shut down
everything and he wasn't even home yeah some drivers supposedly went to this guy's house that was dropping
off a package amazon driver amazon driver heard a racial slur he claims and then tells corporate about it
and they shut down his whole house with all his amazon products shut down his prime account
and he wasn't even home yeah and it took him over a week yeah to get a hold of somebody to say hey
this didn't happen.
And you have,
if you look at the footage,
because,
so he had a fully integrated,
they're fucking listening,
Alexa house with the,
with the door,
with the camera in the door
and the whole nine yards.
And he had to like convince them
to look at the,
at the footage.
And then they were like,
oh yeah,
I guess nobody was home.
That tells you how messed up it is.
Yeah, I don't trust.
I don't plug your prime sticks.
Unplug your,
I don't even have an Alexa in our house.
I don't,
I will never get one.
I'm just going to tell you that right now.
I don't trust it.
But we all, we do have prime, we have prime sticks, Amazon sticks, fire sticks,
because those are so damn handy and easy.
But same time, they might be listened to you on your TV.
I don't know.
I don't know, guys.
I'm not, I'm, that's weird, weird deal.
The last, the last thing that I'll say about AI that could really,
well, there's a couple things that are probably working against taking this.
faster than where we're going now. And there are kind of things, two things I hadn't really thought
about. So the first one is the cost of money and the environment in the venture capital world.
So with interest rates, where they're at, and with the downfall of Silicon Valley Bank,
and how tight credit is, the stream of cheap, free-free.
easy money is over. And so in the in the VC world, a lot of these projects and applications
using AI that, you know, two or three years ago, they could have had access to as much money
as they wanted because people were falling all over themselves because you couldn't get a decent
return on anything. So you might as well risk it to get the biscuit. That's all changed. And so
the amount of VC capital that's out there and the governance of how it's being spent much tighter.
So fewer and fewer projects are getting started and the ones that are started are probably being
watched much closer than what they were as far as, okay, if this isn't getting progress, we're pulling
the plug on it. So that's one thing that is definitely going to slow it over time. The other thing is
given the situation around the world as far as chip making goes.
So the low-end chips.
Lays better get into production of them.
They make other chips.
They might as well just start making the other chips.
Geez, this has been a problem for however.
I mean, geez, it's been a problem since we started this podcast.
I can't find any fucking chips.
Where are they at?
I don't know, but I have a guess that a chip fab for computer chips
is significantly more expensive than a Laze factory to make chips.
Yep.
That's my guess.
But Lays has got money.
They do have a lot of money.
They could do it.
You're right.
Could be a spinoff.
I don't know.
Might be off brand, but.
To build a chip fab, it's about, I want to say it's at least a five-year process to get it done.
One chip.
No, to build a factory to make chips.
Oh, gotcha.
That's why it takes so long to ramp the production.
However, I listen to a real interesting.
like I told you I wasted an entire afternoon yesterday running this down and I went down a rabbit
hole about the whole the whole chip thing and it was really interesting but at the end of it I don't
know whether or not I don't know whether or not have all that knowledge is going to help me all that
much but what's interesting is the low-end chips so the chip that's in your coffee maker in you know
television just low-end stuff the Chinese own that market however
It is in decline because their cost of labor is getting higher and all of the technology as that market
modernizes because we keep the most expensive chip today becomes the cheapest chip
15 years from now. You know as technology gets better the nanometers the size of the chip gets smaller and smaller and smaller and the
number of calculations per chip gets greater and greater and so
I don't know what, a 20 nanometer chip maybe,
or maybe they're even 40,
maybe some of these chips are still 40 nanometers.
That's the low end.
And that manufacturing is done in China.
However, a lot of that is moving to India or Mexico
because the cost of labor.
And the Chinese don't really have,
they're good at using other people's technology.
They're not very good at making their own.
and they
the Biden administration basically
earlier this year
told every American that was in China
working in the chip business
that you needed to decide
whether you wanted to give up your citizenship
or get out of China
and so most of the expertise
in building these chips
actually has left China
and they're not very good shape
in that department
and that doesn't affect AI that much
but it affects your Ford pickup
as far as if you get a truck
and the heated seats
work and all that. That's why we have that problem. And during COVID, this supply chain and all that
broke down and you couldn't get what you needed. The mid-level chips, which are like what's in
cell phones, laptops, that kind of stuff, Taiwan is the main producer of that. Okay, well, we all know
there's a hell of a lot of tension between the Chinese and Taiwan. If anything happens in that
situation or, God forbid, a war breaks out and China decides they're going to try to invade Taiwan,
which I don't know. Common sense would say that's not a very bright move, but common sense said
it probably wasn't that bright for the Russians and Ukrainians to get into it, and it happened.
So nothing's off the table, but if that happened, it would seriously disrupt many industries
around the world. But then the high-end chips, what is driving?
machine learning, supercomputers, all of that.
Those chips are made, some of them are made here in America,
they're made in Taiwan, some are made in Europe.
However, the components that go into those chips,
none of those components are all made within one country.
There's literally like nine different companies around the world
that all have a piece that they supply to that really high-end chip.
And anything that disrupts the flow of goods around the world,
especially in that high-end,
that will really mess up the ability that cutting-edge technology can advance.
And I had no idea that it was that way.
and within the United States,
there's a big push coming
or already in progress
to what we call onshore,
which is bringing all this manufacturing
back to the United States.
That chip manufacturing is part of that.
However, as I said,
if you're going to build a chip fab,
and there's several that are being built
in the United States,
it's a five to 10 year process.
So,
Better get on it.
Better get on it.
As much as you dissected that,
you might as well just build one.
Hi. Why not be more broke?
My head hurts.
Let's just go into more debt.
Might as well.
I mean, given the state of the hog industry, it might be time to diversify.
I think if anybody is watching that's a newcomer, they just sat here and got godsmacked
and they probably don't believe that you're an actual farmer because how the hell does a farmer know that?
Unless they're very intelligent, they realized how many things I said probably in the not
the right order and they're like, I don't think this guy knows anything about anything.
Well, that could happen too, but I think you were pretty on point there.
Do your own research, but yes, basically, and, you know,
the really high-end chips, we're getting down, I want to say we're getting down below,
I think we're down to about five nanometers.
I think seven below seven.
So the big bulky chips, you know, 40 nanometers or 20 or whatever,
all the way down to like a five-nanometer chip.
And crazy.
Crazy shit. Well, that was our topic, our hot topic on AI. We're going to move on here.
We're going to shift gears to the entertainment world. And this is one that I'm excited to talk about, and I'm fucking pissed off about, to be frank. And you should all be pissed off about it too. Because it doesn't make sense. It's bullshit. And there's some shady shit going on about this. And you all have probably seen it. But we're going to be talking about the movie Sound of Freedom.
and if you know nothing about the movie it's about child sex trafficking and it's about it's on a
true story it's about a guy chris ballard is his name he went he's has his own organization and he's
trying to stop child sex sex trafficking and he kind of goes undercover finds these people
tries to save the children get him get them out and it's kind of based off of him and what he's doing
it's based on his story not all not everything in the movie is true the main thing that is not true
I know this because he talked about the other day.
Tim Ballard was a, he was a customs agent or a DEA agent,
and he specialized in human trafficking.
He got at, he left, he left his job because he felt like he couldn't do what he wanted to do
and he really wanted to focus on child trafficking.
Tim Ballard never killed anybody.
I should preface that.
It's not just sex trafficking.
It's human trafficking.
Yeah, yeah.
But it pretty much is the,
story of him. There's one family that he got involved with and he, it's the story him basically
getting them out of that situation. But the story of the movie is really interesting in the fact that
if you have seen the movie or if you're going to see it and I would highly recommend going,
it's coming to our little town, came today and we're all going to go tomorrow night to see it.
the movie was actually made in 2018.
Yeah, so it says here,
independent movie was made for $14 million in 2018,
purchased by 20th century Fox,
then 20th century was acquired by Disney.
Shocker, they fucking are buying everything.
And I just got to say this,
this is a hot take, maybe not,
maybe a lot of people are relating to this,
but Disney, you're fucking up everything.
They have ruined everything.
Star Wars, Trash, Marvel, Trash now.
New movies that are going out for kids
all got politics,
and bullshit into it.
Trash.
Trash.
Old Disney,
way better,
New Disney, sucks ass.
I'm not supporting Disney.
You suck.
You've ruined everything.
And this is another example
because this movie
sat on the shelf at Disney
for five years.
And Angel Studios said,
Screw that.
And they acquired the rights
to distribute the movie.
And so finally got it off the shelves
and now here we are.
And so,
if you're active,
on social media, Twitter, TikTok, whatever, you have been seeing, and if you watch any
highlights from mainstream media, or if you, God forbid, you watch mainstream media,
you have seen that the left-leaning news networks and the left-leaning, like, New York Times, Forbes,
Rolling Stone, Guardian, have all come out and said it's a Q-Anon. This is a Q-Anon-on conspiracy theory
movie. It's all about, it's bullshit. It's referring to that there's this, you know, if you don't
know what QAnon in is, it's this, supposedly it's this group of high elite people that
control everything and that are pedophiles essentially. Or one thing that they are associated with
is pedophilia. And that they pretty much have said that this movie is just a reflection of that and
that's what it's about and that you shouldn't go see this movie because it's bullshit.
Right? That's what they're saying.
It's, it's, it's just keeping the, keeping the conspiracy theory going, is what a quote unquote.
Yeah.
And then when you actually listen to real people in the real world talk about this movie, they say it's fucking phenomenal, it's great, everybody should see this movie.
It's a reflection on what's actually, all this movie is really trying to do is shine awareness on human trafficking, child trafficking.
That's what it's about.
That's what it's about.
And the idea and the fact that there's news networks out there and what do you call them?
Journalists.
Journalists out there that are saying you shouldn't go see this movie and are against this movie is fucking insane to me.
The idea that we're trying to say that a human trafficking movie is QAnon and is for the right wing and that it's you shouldn't go see.
The idea that they're trying to promote this as you shouldn't go see this movie
when it's just trying to do something positive and give awareness to people
and what the fuck's actually going on because this shit is actually going on
is baffling to me.
This is a,
I think this is a topic that whether you're on left side of the aisle or right side of the aisle,
you don't come for the fucking children and we should do anything in our power to protect children.
And the fact that there's one side of the aisle that,
and I'm talking about the corporal,
that are showing this media or talking about this stuff
are kind of belittling the idea of people going and seeing this movie
is fucking wrong in my opinion.
It's fucked up.
One of the,
the idea that they're putting out there is that
everybody is going to see this
is middle-aged white men who are all Q&on conspiracy theorists.
However, its first weekend,
I should back up a little bit. So Angel Networks, okay, I'll back up all the way. So one thing I will say
to Disney's credit is Disney did not have to sell the rights to this. They could have just set on it.
They could have just destroyed it and said, oh, well, sorry, we didn't, you don't, we didn't keep it.
We thought it was trash, so we just got rid of it. They didn't have to sell the rights to Angel Network.
They did, which good for them, it's too bad that they sat on it as long as they did,
and they would have not released it.
It wasn't for the fact that Angel Networks really pushed and kept pushing to try to get the rights to do it.
And then there was a big crowdfunding to get enough money to get it out to, I think,
2,500 theaters showed it that opening weekend, and it actually made more money than Indiana Jones.
made $14 million and Indiana Jones made 11.
So that tells you pretty good in basically half the theaters,
I think, that Indiana Jones was in.
But that whole thing about, you know,
it's all conspiracy theorists viewing the movie.
So Variety Magazine,
who, Variety Magazine put out a shitty article about it,
basically saying the same thing,
that it was all conspiracy theorists that were going to it
and that it was just putting out this idea of the Q&On thing.
So the demographics of the people that have viewed it so far,
the most recent data is that the majority of viewers are women,
and a third of those women that viewed it were Hispanic.
So that doesn't really fit their narrative.
It's bullshit.
And to your point, I think the thing that is disturbing to me about it is,
and it kind of goes with where we are today.
It's fucked up.
Is that...
In a nutshell, that's it.
How in the hell is that not screwed up?
Who in their right mind is trying to promote this movie in a bad light?
Yeah.
When all it's trying to do is shine light on a fucking horrible act
that's being committed on this planet.
Well, I'm trying to, I'm going to try to elaborate a little on that.
It's insane to me.
It's insane to me, and it should be a wake-up call to all of you.
Because honestly, what's scary about it,
they if they want to allude to that that it's Q&ON, well, them doing that almost makes it seem like
there is some shady shit going on in Hollywood and shit. Because if they're, if they're saying
this is shit and you're going to get into it, but these theaters are like having some weird
shit going on that are showing this movie, it's almost making the point of them saying,
oh, it's a Q&ON conspiracy. Well, it's making me feel like it is a, you guys are, there is a Q&ONO
group because why the fuck are you
why are you not promoting this movie
why are you shining a pour
light on it it's making me seem
like there's some shady shit going on behind the scenes
and I think a lot of people feel the same way
go ahead
it pisses me off
soar's hot on TV's hot
I am I am hot
steam coming out of my ears
so what I think is
disturbing is
and the way that
this movie is being represented
in media
is just another example of how in our society here,
there has been a turn away from parental rights,
there has been a move towards sexualizing children
and objectifying children.
A thousand percent.
And if you go down that, if that's the path you're on,
then this movie stands in the face of that,
because it champions the idea that children should be protected and that they're not being protected.
And there is a huge problem with child trafficking, human trafficking in general, but child trafficking in specifically.
And so I think that's why you're seeing this pushback is because there's elements within the political class in this country and in media that have an agenda
that they want to take,
they want to lessen parental rights
and objectify children.
It's fucking evil.
I mean, why?
Why are they doing that?
Why?
You got to ask why.
And I, to be honest,
all I could come up with is they're sick fucks
and they're evil.
That's disgusting.
Well, objectifying children.
And I mean, it's the same shit.
If you saw the photos,
from the fucking pride parades going around in America,
there were naked men with their dicks hanging out
right in front of children as children walked by.
And nobody said a fucking thing to those people.
What in the hell is going on?
What in the hell is going on?
This idea of exactly what you're saying,
of objectifying children and sexualizing children
and allowing them to just see grown men in the streets
at a parade with their dicks hanging out is just okay.
And nobody on the street is going to say something like,
hey get your fucking kid off the street what are you doing you should have you have no business being a
parent if that's the way you're going to parent your kid like where the hell is that like where where why are we
accepting this i don't get it i don't understand it there's there is a lines and we are getting real i mean we are
crossing lines here people are crossing lines when it comes to children there needs to be a fucking
like there needs to be a high standard there of like hey we don't do this here and right now
it seems like that standard is just getting weakened.
And I think it's to your point,
I think that's exactly what they unfortunately want to do.
Because why else would you not want this movie to do well?
And that just leads me into the next point,
which is if you are on TikTok,
if you are on Twitter,
I have seen I'm not even shitting you,
probably hundreds of videos of theaters out there,
AMC specifically.
That's the one theater that I've heard the most riffraff
on is ACs are going AC units are going out in theaters. The movie screen is getting, it looks like
it's like pixelated and it's not showing the movie. They're having that the movie, there's like a
commentator on the movie. You know like when you're watching and they have, you know when you
accidentally on your TV, you accidentally set the setting where everything that you, everything that you scroll over
the TV like talks to you about what you're scrolling over. Same thing with the movie. They have like a
commentator of everything that's happening in the movie and it's just playing at the movie theater
with people in there to annoy the shit out of people so that they get up and leave.
Refunding tickets.
Fire alarms going off.
This is all happening and I've seen all real videos of real people literally filming this and
putting this on the internet showing that this is happening at these theaters.
Why?
There again, why is that happening?
Why for this specific movie are all these.
incidents happening. You have to ask why. It's because they truly, I believe it's because they truly
don't want you to see this movie. When in the past has there ever been a showing of a movie with
this much bullshit happening at the theaters of the showing? I have never, I don't think, what are the
chances that the fire alarm goes off at a movie theater? Very low. I've yet to be at one.
what are the chances that the AC unit just stops working at at the at the at the showing that you go to it's never happened in my lifetime so why all of a sudden am i seeing hundreds upon hundreds of theaters across the country that are showing sound of freedom having all these fucking problems
sounds shady to me i don't know about you guys and if you don't if you haven't seen any of this i encourage you to look some shit up on the internet go look at tick to look at look at twitter because i'm sure it's on all platforms by now
the one that I've seen the most of it at is on TikTok.
But people are still, people are, if anything, it's actually kicking,
it's actually having the opposite effect.
Yeah, it's having the opposite effect.
It's backfiring and big time on them because now everybody,
it's literally promoting the movie.
Now everybody's going to go to the theater.
And it's almost like people want to go see this movie now
just to see if the theater is going to do some shady shit
and not allow them to see the movie.
like it's just it's skinny more and more traction so they fucked up on that part because they're just
marketing the shit out of this movie now but i mean you just got to ask the question the media outlets
are painting a bad light on this movie these theaters are not obviously don't want people to see
this movie because all this crazy shit is happening at these at these showings of these at these
theaters i mean have you ever been to a movie where the fire alarm goes off
I haven't. Have you ever been to a movie theater that the AC stops working? I haven't. Have you ever
been to a movie theater where the commentator, I saw one literally the commentator was literally
talking. Like you know how when you select the thing on your prime stick and you select the wrong
button and everything, every app that you scroll over it says, Netflix, you know, it like commentates
it. There was literally a showing of the theater of them having.
a commentator of every action that was happening in the movie and it was talking over the movie.
It was like closed captioning was turned on and it was-
And somebody was talking voice-voicing it. Yeah well it's fucking weird dude so when you think about how
society is moved what do you think the reaction today would be if if passion of the
Christ was released now there's something else here now something new
Exclusively on Paramount Plus.
It's the series Stephen King calls scary as hell.
Everything here is impossible, but it's also real.
Sci-fi Vision calls it the best show streaming right now.
We're running out of time and we still don't know the rules.
Don't miss what the movie blog calls something you need to watch.
Saving those children is how we all go home.
From binge all episodes exclusively on Paramount Plus.
I think it'd be something similar.
Right.
That's for sure.
that's my point is I feel like, which that's on a whole different, you know, that's a whole
different scale or a whole different, that's a whole different genre than what this is. However,
it's, it's a mostly conservative movie and it's definitely a belief specific in the fact that it's
Christian, you know, based movie. But I really feel like that if that movie was to come out today,
I don't think, one, I don't think it could be made today.
I don't think that it could be made.
And like this movie was made five years ago,
and it just shows you the push that is out there
away from anything with any moral fiber.
I think that's, when you say why, why?
Well, to me, it makes perfect sense,
because we've talked about this on so many things.
I feel like there's just a goal within our country among progressives
to tear down every, just basically tear down everything that is a social norm.
so the family the the the the a father as a an intact family a father mother and children um there is an attack
on on i'd say i'd say god oh well god is first we you know take god out of everything um destroy the
family but then objectify children and then you know over the years the
satisfaction level of politicians has gone lower and lower and lower. Then we started in on the
police. We wanted to defund the police and make police and the law enforcement in a bad light,
then the military, because at the low point or at one of the lowest points of when nobody
trusted politicians, a poll would say most people trust.
the military. Well, I don't think that's true now because look who we have running the military
and all the problems that they've had. It's just, this is just one more small example of the push
within the progressive part of our country to tear down everything that our country was built on
as far as moral standards, the family. Yeah, I mean, I don't have to go into it. So, I mean,
you can look at it and say, you know, I just don't understand why would you do that? Why would you do that?
If your agenda is to basically destroy, if you're going to destroy our country from within,
that's the way you do it. Is you separate people, you get people. Destroy morals.
Too far, too far apart to where there's no common ground. That's what is trying to be done here is we're trying to get as many people
gosh darn it trying to get as many people as far away from each other as possible yep i agree i agree
but i also think i also think and i don't give a fuck what anybody thinks this is my opinion there is
some shady shit going on in hollywood there's some shady shit going on behind the scenes it's too
big of a coincidence in my opinion there's too much shit there's epstein's island we just all
forget about epstein's island and the list of people that went to that island that he
obviously did some sexual shit to children on that island. I mean, there are people out there
that are in the light of Hollywood or that are elites that have gone to Epstein's Island and done
some shady shit. And we can't ever seem to get the list of people or we can't ever seem
to prosecute anybody that was on that list that made it to the eye. We can't ever seem to have any
evidence of these people that ever did anything on this island, even though there's cameras on the
island and shit. I mean, it's like,
There is some shady shit going on.
No, I agree with everything that you're saying there.
But I also believe that there's some shady shit going on behind the scenes with people.
Well, Sawyer, a thousand percent of people.
There's shady shit going on in our White House.
Are somebody, somebody was doing cocaine in the White House,
and they just, the Secret Service just came out yesterday and said,
their investigation is done.
And they were unable to find anybody.
They were unable to find anybody.
that had anything to do with getting cocaine into the White House.
No idea.
So if you can't, if you are going to sit and lie to the American people and say,
the thing is, there was a time where they would have at least come up with a plausible,
somebody would have taken the fall for it.
They would have found the gardener, a butler, a maid, a cook,
somebody there that was doing, they would have found somebody and said, oh yeah, that dirty
bastard there, he was doing cocaine in the White House. No, they didn't, now they're at a point where
they don't care. They, they have soon fed the American people so much shit that they aren't
even interested in taking the time to come up with a plausible scapegoat. They just come out and go,
well, we don't know how in the hell it got there, but we can't find anybody. So if that is the, you know,
if that is the state of affairs,
what you're talking about,
you're never going to know
no one that was ever had anything to do with Epstein,
that will never come to light.
It will never come in light as long as
the most powerful people that were involved in that
are still alive.
Look how long the shit that went on with Kennedy.
Yeah.
Well, it's still, I mean,
most people have a,
conclusion on it, right? But you're never going to know. Yeah, they're never going to come out and
say it. And that's the problem, that's, I mean, we're going long here, but the problem is,
there was a time that I think a majority of people did believe that government for all of its
flaws had your best interest in mind. And you could trust what came out of their mouth. And today,
I don't think you could find, I don't think you could find a third of the people. You know,
people in this country that believe that government has their best interest in mind on either
side. I don't think you could. People are incredibly jaded and the other part is we're callous to it.
We're just to the point that we... And we don't do shit about it. That's the scary part. We don't
do shit about it. I think also why they don't come up with an explanation or a scapegoat because they
know we ain't going to do shit about it. They've realized that we're never going to protest or we're
ever going to come and throw the fucker out of the White House and do something about it.
Not saying we should. I'm just saying, we haven't done shit. We haven't done anything. We haven't
revolted. We haven't done shit yet. So why they can get away with anything? That's the goal of keeping
everybody divided and keeping us all fighting over all of these little things. Because when we all have,
when we all have differing opinions on every social thing,
we are not going to unite on the big things.
And that's exactly what they want.
They want to keep us all divided
so that when it comes to real change,
none of us can agree in a big enough number to throw them out.
So I guess we all need to...
There's a day coming,
there's a day coming that we need to find the big things that we can agree on,
and we need to come together as Americans and write this ship.
And I don't know, I don't know when that will be, but that's what needs to happen.
Well, the sad truth of it is, if we don't, the country's going to fall,
because they are disrupting the inside of this country and what made this country great,
and that's the only way you can take down America.
Yes.
So many people have said that.
You can only take down America within.
And that's what's happening.
So if we don't turn our shit around, set the fucking standard.
There's a guy on the street with his dick hanging out and there's a child walking by.
We should probably fucking say something about it and say, get off the street or don't be a parent.
You're a shitty parent.
What are you doing?
Get out of here.
I mean, we got to say, we got to speak the fuck up and, like, say some shit.
And go see Sound of Freedom because they don't want you to obviously see it.
So go see it.
It's for a good cause.
It's for a good awareness.
I believe we should be more aware of the problem that is child trafficking, human trafficking.
I mean, last thing I'll say about it, I saw an interview of Tim Ballard and the guy that made
the movie. A child, if you, a child, there's a lot of ways that happen that can happen with
child trafficking, but the most common is, you know, these kids get raped 12 to 15 times a day
and then when they're used up, they harvest their organs and sell them.
No, they kill them.
They kill them and then harvest their organs and sell them.
And sell the organs.
I mean, that's...
Talk about pretty messed up.
And I mean, that should give you perspective on how lucky we are
because you could have things a lot worse.
But we should all be aware of this issue.
And we should all go see this movie.
And we should all think about that problem
because it's becoming a bigger and bigger problem.
And just ask more questions.
ask why. Do your own research, do your own digging, but I think most of the people that listen
to the show and most people out there can agree that it's messed up that all this shady crap is going
on behind the scenes about this movie, when most people on either side of the aisle can agree
that this is a problem that we could come together on and agree that it's messed up,
and we should probably do something about it. So that's all.
say, go see Sound of Freedom. We're going to see it tomorrow. So let us know, let us know what
