Starting point is 00:00:00 Thank you everybody for your patience. And first and all that promises to only sort of talk about the State of the Union. I already did this intro. I was going to say the second and only, really. The second and only, because we already kind of did it. We already did this intro. I felt like the first one was better, but oh God, Jonathan's also here. Ah.
Starting point is 00:01:10 See, we're already improving on the first time. Just like last time, I was not waiting for the introduction. I was just sitting here. not talking, trying to put the new link in the chat of the old link, but I think the chat of the old link is gone. So hopefully you found us. I was talking to you. Me there, but now we're here. I'm on there. I'm looking at it right now. It's us. We're all here. I already said this once tonight, just repeating it. We knew that we had the State of the Union tonight, obviously. We also knew we had a live stream tonight, but it just did not sound fun to sit here and watch,
Starting point is 00:01:49 well, to watch the State of the Union at all. It does not sound fun, but to have you guys watch us watch it. So we're going to, we're going to talk. We're going to have fun. We're going to get some clips as they come in, make some jokes, hopefully, hopefully not cry too much. He might say only good things tonight, you know? Maybe. It might just be the night of him saying good stuff. It's going to be true good stuff is the question. You could just say a bunch of stuff and how it's really good and how things are going great. He is loved, and that's technically good, right? I guess so.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I guess that's technically good. Yeah, it's good if he says it is. That's how these go, right? Yeah. Yeah. He's not popular. He's not popular. Why?
Starting point is 00:02:32 Not into him. I mean, we could pick a few. We could pick a thing. How about we each pick a different reason? Okay. I'll start. with he's been incredibly accused of child sexual assault and his justice department is covering up those allegations and the FBI interviews of the victims.
Starting point is 00:02:57 All right. That's good. That's not the only, probably not even the primary reason. It's not even, but it's a good, it's a good reason. Sandwich $18 is the primary reason. But after that. Yeah. Sorry, I didn't need to take one of yours.
Starting point is 00:03:10 You took both of mine, Jonathan. I mean, let's be real, but I guess murdering... Well, let's not forget indiscriminately taking people off the streets by mask thugs. Why you guys keep stealing mine? It's one of the things he's done. Okay. Well, yeah, murdering people in the street. And then lying about it.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I feel like the blatant lies in response to it didn't help, certainly. Yeah. They keep saying that all these factories are being built, but I don't know where those are. Right. He doesn't point out specific factories, but they say, you look at all the factories. Look at all the factories.
Starting point is 00:03:48 What am I looking at right now? Chat. Oh, chats. Oh, we got so many chats. Oh, are you guys being nice? We're trying so hard to keep up with the chat and the tabs and everything. We appreciate you so much. Thank the super chats and the regular chats and honestly, people who aren't in the chat, too.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Honestly, people are in the chat. I'm struggling to get my chats on this screen here, so I'm just not going to mess with it, right now because it's rude honestly um yeah i like both of your options for why you don't like him um i'll add tariffs uh threatening suing media organizations um just cultural collapse i don't know all of the above going too far thinking like oh we own the culture now we won we're the we're the winners and then sort of like but really um really um tried to order a burrito tonight and it was like $20 and, you know, the end of the day, that's Trump's economy. That's what bothers me the most. Yeah, Jonathan mentioned this. He's not
Starting point is 00:04:52 popular. We wanted to start this evening by maybe looking at a clip of Donald Trump reacting to his popularity to the recent polls. I'm going to read from Political. Only 39% of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling the job of president. according to Katie, I don't want to interrupt you, but the two newest polls are 36. CNN's got 36. American Research Group has 36%
Starting point is 00:05:21 approval. That's a new That is his cult numbers. Like you get like, you get down to like 33%. It's like, oh, those are just his guys. We are reaching like financial crisis post Katrina Bush. Not quite. That was like 29, I think.
Starting point is 00:05:37 We're not there. Well, don't worry. He's got a war cooking. to boost those numbers. Yeah, we'll talk about that too. Yeah, his disapproval is rising among independence in particular. Let's see if this is only 26%
Starting point is 00:05:52 of independent survey to approve of his handling of the presidency. Honestly, that feels like too many, but it's a 15-point drop from the February poll. Anyway, the point is, it's not going great, and you know that
Starting point is 00:06:05 is going to be some sort of desperate attempt to just lie and frame everything in, you know, the way that he does. But let's watch him reacting to a question in the, just mentioning his polls number. Tom Holman. Yes, you did.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Just to know our people, they've been incredible, the job they've done. And they take nothing but abuse, but, you know, they're sort of pretty hard into that, I think. Yeah. Because they know they're doing the right thing. It just amazes me that, There's not more support out there.
Starting point is 00:06:41 It's just, we actually have a silent support. I think it's silent. I think that's how I want. Probably 85 million votes. They say 78 million, 79 million. They cheated in this election, too. It was just too big to rig. He's got to keep the ball in the air, right?
Starting point is 00:07:00 He's like, well, we won this amazing thing, and they cheated, but we won. It was too big. And they think also the people who really support it, they don't vote or talk about it. It's silent. silent but deadly support. Well, like more, like 10 more million that we think, but they don't talk about it. They don't talk about how they've secretly voted.
Starting point is 00:07:18 No, there's a silent. Which we don't like when you secretly vote, but we do like it this time, and they're silent. And that's how I like it anyway. Is it what he said? He said, that's how I like it anyway. I believe you. I believe you, sir.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I believe you, sir. I believe that you are not shook to your core. There are other clips of him talking about. is he starting talking. Is he starting talking? Oh my gosh. D, D, D, D, D, D, D. Breaking news, he's starting talking. Oh, the chat's back for me.
Starting point is 00:07:46 This is great. Yeah, it is. There was our guy. Oh, he's up there. Yeah. J.D., pick your notes. The flow of deadly fentanyl. Okay. That's a place to start. Our nation is back. Bigger, better,
Starting point is 00:07:58 richer, stronger than ever before. Okay. Uh-huh. Great. Yeah. No argument there, right? Oh, Vance and. Mike Johnson are totally going to be competing
Starting point is 00:08:10 with how quickly they can stand up and applaud. How quickly they can stand and how quickly they, I'm sure they have faces ready when he says like a thing or like if somebody yells just like looking for it. I'm sure Johnson is also really prepared to have his excuses if he says something in this speech that he has to pretend tomorrow
Starting point is 00:08:28 that he didn't hear. He'll be like, well the speech was great. It was one of the most fans. I was strolling at the time. Me and Vance were doing like competing tweets. Yeah, we're checking. We're checking the progress. I don't know anything about that. I don't, I don't know anything about that. Really? That was a good advance. Or Mike Johnson. They both do it. It was a good, both of those guys. It doesn't matter. I'll take the, I'll take the phrase.
Starting point is 00:08:51 It was supposed to be Johnson, but. He's the guy who doesn't know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so he's not popular. There's a bunch of, you know, some things that should be scandals, really, presidential scandals bearing down on him. NPR reported the Justice Department withheld and removed. Some Epstein files related to Trump, I mentioned this already very subtly, but files where minors accused him of sexual abuse. Unclear if these are the same, the Jane Doe allegations from before or others, 50 pages of FBI interviews, one would think the public would want to see those. One would think it would be a major scandal that the president's own Department of Justice was violating the law by not releasing these and then being like, let's just move on everybody. Yeah, we're done with that.
Starting point is 00:09:48 We're done with that. This is, is it the case that she got, like, took a settlement with Epstein? Is this the one? There's a couple in here mentioned. One, I guess, did have a settlement. another one is maybe it's the same person the story of having her head shoved down
Starting point is 00:10:08 and she bit him and then he hit her normal regular stuff I think that what's different about this though is if I correct me if I'm wrong but I believe some of this had been referenced as like a tip in the past but actually what happened
Starting point is 00:10:25 was there were several interviews with this person and it was a credible claim that was followed up and investigated. I believe this specific claim comes from the 80s. So we're definitely outside of the statute of limitations, I guess. I don't know. We don't know what anything is or means, but what this is specifically showing us is that there are lots of documents pertaining this being credible, meaning that this person was interviewed and they specifically removed it, obviously. And Democrats on the House Oversight Committee say they have seen them. And they're like, you know, the people deserve to see this.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Representative Robert Garcia of California says they've illegally withheld FBI interviews with the survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes. So I don't know. You talk to your your normie friends to do people that don't normally pay attention to the news. I think a lot of us that are pretty dialed in over having conversations about Epstein with all sorts of. people and a refrain I keep hearing is why won't they do anything? Why doesn't anybody care? Why doesn't it matter? And it does matter to all of us. And I do not see that going away. I do not see it calming down. This is going to haunt him the rest of his presidency is what I think. You know, it's not getting buried. We're not going to stop bringing this up every week. Yeah, no, they're going to keep trying. And he's going to keep saying, I thought we're over that. We did it. But they're also, they like and aside from the those questions and like they should be doing something about this there are like a lot of accusations in there and they're protecting alleged co-conspirators and all this sort of stuff but also just like generally breaking the law like just standing back like yeah they're breaking the law they need to not redact these these names and they need to release these files and all all the stuff they're doing is very very not in line with the law that they passed in addition to these are horrific accusations and something should be done.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah, but I have a feeling that he's not going to talk about Epstein tonight. He's mentioned the guy like twice. Or surprise guest. Galane. Epstein. Oh. The big reveal. That would be a showstopper for sure.
Starting point is 00:12:46 That would be a twist. Is M. Knight Shyamalan in the house? Is he a guest of any members of Congress? My goodness. Maybe. No, the, the guests this evening are Erica Kirk. I believe. And, yeah, Alison.
Starting point is 00:13:03 And for reasons, I'm sure they're normal on the up and up. And Nick Shirley is also attending. Nick Shirley. And so I'm sorry. We got clips. We can watch this guy. Yep, we got some clips. It's Nick Shirley and another guy.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Oh, you know that guy? We've talked about him on the podcast a couple times. it's Matt, the guy who used to be a nuclear physicist, and every day he's like, I left the Democratic Party, and it's crazy over here. The Republicans aren't, like, that guy, Matt Van Swal, I believe is his name. Matt Van Swal. Yeah, he is also there.
Starting point is 00:13:37 So all the grifters are out, all the ex-poster's are out in droves tonight, Nick Shirley being one of the big ones, I think, that are. And contrast with the, I believe, a number of Epstein victims were the guests of Democratic members of Congress who did show up, a number have not. So they'll all sit there. Maybe they get in the same gallery. You know, they'll have a lot to chat about.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Nick Shirley, like now, just America's favorite sweetheart twerp. And Erica Kirk, who zero people have ever expressed an interest in any way. I mean, I don't just. We've got some updates, folks. We got some updates, folks. We got a clip we can, our beloved Will Gore, director, extraordinaire is monitoring socials for us. Coming in hot with clips.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Well, we got a clip we can react to, but we also have Al Green being thrown out of the speech. All right, let's watch this. Live react. See if he did it again. I mean, they censured him last year or two years ago, right? And we will never go back to where we were just a very short time ago. We're not going back. I bet we do.
Starting point is 00:14:55 You already did once. You lost, remember? Oh, come on. Here you're your keys. Look at them. Boberts back on the board? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Oh, yeah, no, short-lived, obviously, yeah. Hang up for victims until, we're done with that. We're done. We're done. We're done acknowledging what the president is like. obviously. I mean, I get, you know, it's like, okay, this is our side. We're going to do the thing.
Starting point is 00:15:29 And then I'm going to try to find what Al Green's sign. It said black people are not apes, I believe. Oh. Referring to the video. Oh, the video, the Lion King. The one that was clearly just a play on the Lion King, as we all know. Oh, yeah. It was just Lion King stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And which is why he didn't share the whole version. And he specifically shared the monkey part. Okay, well. I think we were either off or that happened right after we posted and even more news on a Friday. And then by the time Monday came around, it was like, all right. That sounds like how this goes. Yep. Impossible.
Starting point is 00:16:06 Yeah. It's impossible. There's a black hole. There's the like thing people have been saying of like, would an X get fired? Would a target manager get fired? Would a high school principal get fired? And it's hard to think of a job posting that that wouldn't get fired. Yeah. But I mean until, you know, here we are. We got new standards for all jobs, mostly for the president, but generally. But you can't make fun of a person when they tragically get shut because then you lose your job. Are we looking at Nick Shirley now?
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah, I do think like it'll be more satisfying for us in this moment as we're all here together to make fun. of guys like Nick Shirley who are so easily clowned upon than Trump who while easily clowned upon is completely immune to the impact that our words have on his life but I do feel
Starting point is 00:17:07 like Nick Shirley could still be like shaped and gotten to he's young he could I doubt this will happen but he could escape. I don't know he's already been gotten to but yeah but the people need to know and obviously he's being you'll even be able to tell in this video we're about to watch
Starting point is 00:17:23 he is clearly being handled by adults who like know more about stuff and are like directing him to like, oh, go here and talk about this, explain this. And he's got his little notes at one point in this video. He like looks off to the side. You can tell he's like, did I do it good? He doesn't know what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I might, I agree with, I don't disagree with you. But what he keeps doing is so embarrassing. It's hard to believe that he is being handled by adults. I think he's being encouraged by people but it's there's nobody saying hey dude just think for one second oh they don't want them to think though that's what I mean like they're being handled by like this racist guy something hoke I believe is his name
Starting point is 00:18:06 there's a guy in this video you'll see clearly there's an operation who are like oh prank guy with the popular YouTube you've got to go and you got to do propaganda for us I've taken to referring to him as Rogan Paul because he kind of is a synthesis between those two worlds and doing a great job at it. We can watch the clip now though. Please notice that he is wearing a polymarket hoodie
Starting point is 00:18:31 during this clip. I wonder why. Maybe we'll talk about that a little more. Anyway, here's our segments. Surely, you jester, I guess is what we're going. Here in California at this UPS store in San Diego, over 30 people are registered to vote as this is their primary residence.
Starting point is 00:18:51 It's all right to have this is a location we receive a ballot, but you can't have it as your primary residence. And all these people do right here. For instance, this lady right here, Gloria, she's 100 years old, and she voted in the 2024 election. In fact, the large majority of these people voted in the 2024 election. And some of these people even have the exact same PO boxes. I don't think too many people can live inside of a PO box.
Starting point is 00:19:16 And what's concerning about this is right now in Polly Market, Gavin Newsom is also setting the stage to become the next Democrat nominee for the 20th. 28 election meanwhile Polymarket blood you actually need an ID to vote here inside of California California and like I said over 30 people are registered there he's looking at the guy
Starting point is 00:19:34 UPS store alone okay well I think we got to check out polymarket real quick sorry we gotta check out the UPS store is above it is the apartment building right there are apartments above it's a suite I think it's I believe it's suite 103 is where this UPS store is and their apartments above it.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Many people have pointed out and found the roles. He's not showing any information, which is good because you don't want to show people's information. He could show the PO box and black out their names and prove that what he's saying is true, but it's clearly that they get their mail delivered
Starting point is 00:20:10 to that building where their apartments. And there's even a part of that video. I ended up watching a lot of the video that's from because I just hate myself or whatever. But they go inside. First of all, they go inside and on screen text says, like,
Starting point is 00:20:29 immediately kicked out. Well, because you have cameras and you're going into like this store and be like, hey, can we talk to you? We want to do like a video for YouTube for you. They don't want you there in their place. There are laws. We all came up in L.A. We understand that there are roles around filming in public and you're supposed to do
Starting point is 00:20:45 XYZ. Yeah. Again, he's a pranktuber. He used to do things where he's like, I broke into Logan Paul's house and here's the video. Like his job is bothering people so they didn't want people to be bothered. But he goes in and then there's his conversation he has with somebody works there and talking about these addresses and how like, so do you see ballots being delivered to these PO boxes? And the guy says it causes, because he clearly knows what is going on and he's like, well, yeah, and it cuts out.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Because I think what he was about to say is, well, yeah, they can get their ballot delivered to the PO box. It's not their primary residence. which is the claim, which he's not showing evidence for. So clearly he's just like getting these clips and then cutting it up and doing his little propaganda. He's so stupid. They're allowing a community note on this one. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Wasn't taking one. It was taken down though, I thought. Is it back up? I still see it on here. The UPS store as part of the Kensington Commons, mixed use development. They put the address there, which is too bad because even people who see this community note but believe Nick Shirley may still go and harass. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:50 workers at the UPS store. They went in, and here's the other thing. This video, he goes into the store and he gets kicked out and then outside he just like starts saying like, hey, do you know Gloria? She's 100 years old. Do you know Gloria? Did she vote? And it's just like, they don't know what the
Starting point is 00:22:06 fuck you're talking about, man. They're just like walking down the street and you're getting these like weird clips for your stupid propaganda. It's really obnoxious. Putting just regular people in the hot seat, you know, making them the target of all of this international,
Starting point is 00:22:23 I mean, not international, maybe international. People care. But like, now you're trending on fucking Twitter. It's just, it's appalling. What he's doing?
Starting point is 00:22:34 It's just really frustrating to watch. And then people be like, oh my God, they got him. And then the community note goes up. And then it goes down for a while because I assume the bots and the, the brigade did their thing to vote it down.
Starting point is 00:22:47 But a little glimmer of hope. It was wrong enough that it wasn't down for long and it is back up and people can see the actual truth of what's going on. We could watch the next one. I don't know. I know, I don't think you've seen the next video of it. I have not seen this one. We can watch it. It's just, there's some funny bits in it.
Starting point is 00:23:11 It's more of the same. You'll notice that it's a building that looks boarded up, but he doesn't really show the rest of the building. All right. This is a quick one. It would surprise you if inside of this building alone, there's 15 people registered to vote. Yeah, all the windows are boarded up. Oh, one of the business was Duckets, and I never saw anybody go in or out of there. 15 people are registered to vote, and a lot of them voted in the 2024 election.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Doesn't surprise me. This is Kami-Fornia for a reason. Do you think voter fraud takes place here in California? 100%. That's my favorite part. That guy. I love it. That guy said so. Commy-foria for your reason.
Starting point is 00:23:47 It's so funny. There's another part. other video where he like tries to do that with a woman and he's like hey he's Gloria can Gloria vote do you think you should vote for P.O. Box and she's just at one point she's like I don't yeah yeah yeah propaganda you're doing literally she's like I don't whatever I don't know thank you she walks away but they got the guy to say Kami Foria incredible work Nick uh perfect perfect perfect moment uh also that building as other people noted has apartments above it where the
Starting point is 00:24:21 Duckets was I guess whatever that I think it's like a it's like a dollar store it's like a regional dollar store oh yeah I think you're right I'm not that familiar with San Diego but I think it's a dollar store I live there and I can't confirm it for sure
Starting point is 00:24:34 I think it closed down last year there are apartments above that still so clearly okay so they voted in 2024 when the Duckets was still there and they still live there The whole argument, you've continued watching this, so maybe he makes more arguments, but like the whole argument seems to be that this is a business, not a residence in this one address of the building, and that guy hasn't seen anyone go in or out of there because he stands
Starting point is 00:25:04 on the corner. I love it. It's so funny. I haven't seen anybody go in and out there. Okay. Did you try to go in there? Like, is this like a story? Like, I have never seen anybody go inside or outside.
Starting point is 00:25:15 So one day I went in and it was empty. And there's like, no, you just like are a guy who's around that part of the neighborhood sometimes on some days in your life. And you're like, yeah, it's fake. That's a fake building. Nobody ever goes in there. And because I live here in California, which I hate, I guess. But that, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:25:35 That seems like a very San Diego kind of guy. Like, I feel like you probably like it there. Yes. It does seem like a very San Diego. Beautiful weather. You seem like. the kind of guy, I mean, not to stereotype what people from San Diego are like, I'm from a couple counties up. You can. Jerks. I have been told after
Starting point is 00:25:56 playing that video, that's the most San Diego guy I've ever seen. 100%. I went to school in San Diego. I went to UC San Diego. Okay. So you would know. And I left and didn't look back. I had a terrible time in college. I was so sad, surrounded by people that didn't get me. Well, that's not true. But now it's not. I made some great friends that have led me to all of you during my time in San Diego. Like Michael Swame, Daniel Gord. Wow.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Abe Epperson. But in general, there were a lot of that guy. I got accepted but did not go. We could have known each other in college. We could have known each other. Do you know what school you got accepted to within UCSD? No, I don't remember. It was a long time again.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Cool one. New York C for anybody out there that cares. Eleanor Roosevelt College. But that guy talking to Nick Shirley, he's like, all right, man, I got to go to get some bomb-ass burritos. But no. $18 burritos. I know.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Thanks, Trump. So, should we take a peek into the state of the union? I got it right here. I think so. You got it. I've got a running list of notes from our producer too. Oh, okay. Yeah, let's take a peek.
Starting point is 00:27:04 We can pull up a specific clip, but let's just see what he's saying now. But we held strong and with the great, big, beautiful bill, we gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on social security for our great seat. Turns out that's just from very specific situations. No tax on tips. It's not no tax on L tips. Also Schumer is leaning oddly. You see?
Starting point is 00:27:33 That was an oddly. It was an oddly. We have an odd lien. But only if the car is made in America. Has to be made in America so important. What about Bibles and guitars? Is that okay if they're not? Bill,
Starting point is 00:27:50 made in America. Recently in Pennsylvania, I met Megan Hemhouser. Okay. I'm sure you did. I'm sure you did. Yeah, I bet. Children, beautiful, two children. During the day while waiting tables at night
Starting point is 00:28:06 as her husband works overtime operating very heavy equipment. Megan is here this evening and she's happy to tell you that she is so so much richer because with no tax on overtime. And her expanded child tax. Let's get her up
Starting point is 00:28:26 on stage everybody. Megan. Have her say that. She's expanded child tax. That she's so much richer. But he's like really trying to play that. He said a little bit earlier one of our, Will sent us a quote. Yeah, he said low interest rates
Starting point is 00:28:42 will solve the Biden created housing problem while at the same time protecting the values of those people who already own a house that really feel rich for the first time in their lives. We want to keep those values up. We're going, we're going to do both. And I get why he's saying that because he's like, well, I, everyone I know owns their home.
Starting point is 00:29:01 What do you want me to tell them that their home value is going down? I'm not going to do that. But you can't do both. You can't. We, they, they, the prices, I mean, I'm trying to think. There's got to be narrow ways. But even if the mortgage rates go down, if the housing costs go up, that's kind of going going to balance out the six person down to four percent if you know every house on your block
Starting point is 00:29:24 is nine hundred thousand dollars minimum but you're going to feel richer than you've ever felt in your life hmm i think is what my takeaway that's what you said taxes what he said yeah she said she is richer um so good for her i guess it does feel like trump uh and we've talked about this before but it feels like Trump did on his own get to that conclusion of like, huh, it seems like we kind of pit people against each other in this country. Either you're a renter and you want the prices to go down or you're an owner and you want the prices to go up. And if you're a renter, as soon as you buy your own home, your incentives change.
Starting point is 00:30:02 Huh. Interesting. Well, we'll just do both. I think we can do both about it. Yep. No problem. Yeah, he's run into that a lot of cases. Obviously, I mean, this isn't insightful.
Starting point is 00:30:14 It's a bad situation. It's a really bad situation. And if you're going to bring housing prices, as you've already articulated, if you're going to bring housing prices down so that things are more affordable for people, then some people are going to be unhappy. And there is no solution to it. I mean, there might be some, but he hasn't got it. He's got maybe concepts of plans, his favorite phrase.
Starting point is 00:30:42 But like, he's just going to say something. We're going to just, it's all he's ever had to do is just say it. Just say the words, let people clap along. I don't know. He said no tax on tips. Again, I don't know if people heard me say that. The reality of that is far different, the no tax on tips. It's just in like certain areas.
Starting point is 00:30:59 But if you get tipped in some ancillary, just some random job, service job, it's still taxed. Can I take a moment to shout out some super chats while we're. Yes, we've received a bunch. Thank you so much. And I'm going to mispronounce all of your. things here. X. Demonox, Red T.J. Idaho B. 33 F. Got a Mew. JSA,
Starting point is 00:31:22 43, 31. Thank you so much. Ultima, Weapons. 072-883, biofoot 7874. A bunch. Unibal 5667. We really appreciate you guys. Thank you so much. We'll get to more as we keep going. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:31:38 You guys are amazing. How did you have that list prepared? I know. Honestly, Jonathan, there's so many tabs. something I can click or tap man bit a bit of a we bubba ba da bo how do people do this?
Starting point is 00:31:53 How do people pay attention? We're going to do this once a month for 10 years and then we'll still be like how do people do this all the time? I'm trying to like the tabs in this I'm trying to play Boulder's Gate while this is going on to
Starting point is 00:32:06 and like that makes it even harder. Maybe you could wait for later. I could. Yeah. It's a lot to balance. It is fun. Some people I saw as it flew by talking about Lord of the Rings. We are going to do that. We are going to do that. We are going to play video games. We're going to not just do State of the Union. Yeah, no, we're going to have some fun. I mean, we could do State of the Union next month, too. We can actually watch it and then react to this nonsense. Yeah, we'll watch it. Yeah, well, we're going to do games. Obviously, we're going to make Katie watch. Yeah. The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Minecraft. We might play Boulder's game as well. for Katie.
Starting point is 00:32:45 In one year we have lifted 2.4 million Americans, a record off of food stamps. Lifted off of food stamps. Wow. Yeah, no. Cutting food stamps isn't the same thing as getting people on food stamps. What a piece of gold. Okay. Yeah, let's talk a little Sam Altman.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Okay, let's talk about Sam Altman. Well, let's Gemini Sam Altman. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have to say. I'm not going to go cold into this Sam Altman talking about, the thing he talks about how AI is great and everything else is bad. All right, here we go. One of the things that is always unfair in this comparison is people talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model relative to how much it costs a human to do one inference query. But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.
Starting point is 00:33:42 And not only that, it took like the very widespread evolution of the 100 billion people that have ever lived and learned not to get eaten by predators and learn how to figure out science and whatever to produce you. And then you took whatever you took. So the fair comparison is if you ask Chatsyptia question, how much energy does it take once its model is trained to answer that question versus a human? And probably AI has already caught up on an energy efficiency basis measure. I. You humans. You little worthless eaters and you're useless. A lot to be said about this, but this framing.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Yeah. Pretty gross, right? We're here on planet Earth. Resources are for, we're alive. We're human beings. The resources on this planet are for life, for human life. And this tool you've created to make life easier or just totally disrupt. the world and remove people's jobs and employment, et cetera, whatever.
Starting point is 00:34:46 This tool to make life easier is not more important than human beings. So it doesn't matter how much a person consumes or how much energy a person needs. We're alive. Also, but just, it's just fucking irrelevant. But also, we're talking about using natural resources and the stress on an energy grid versus me consuming. things that get converted into energy in my body. You know, this is, it's not, you can't even compare these things. I, I, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:21 But it's like, he's arguing that he was like, it took energy to bring people, to evolve people for hundreds of, for millions of years to where we are now. That took energy. Why can't, why can't this take energy? And then you need to compare each query, right? take you a lot longer to do the query than it took chat GPT. And yeah, but if I was asked, hey, how do I make a lemon shit popsicle? I would just, I would spend zero energy because I wouldn't answer the question. And chat GPT would answer the question and take energy to do it
Starting point is 00:36:01 and waste everyone's time. Okay, but what if Iron Man did Banzinga? Oh yeah. Well, Iron Man, all I've wanted is I've always wanted Iron Man and Thor to jump into Dunder Mifflin and engage with Bizarro Dwight. Oh yeah, if Jim had Dwight's voice and Michael Scott's voice
Starting point is 00:36:25 and looked a little not like Jim at all. But Ironin was there. We can watch it if no one knows what we're talking about. Yeah, I don't know. Do people mind if we hear some AI slop? It's like really, I don't, it makes me. We can watch it. I don't know that I I don't have to see the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:36:43 I want, like, apart from the fact that it looks like garbage slop, I do also want you to notice that it, there's no jokes here. You know, way there were jokes on the NBC show The Office. Oh. Like, think about what the bits are here that would be intended to make you laugh. Let's see. A billionaire. Finally, someone gets me.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I'm just here for office culture. Why is it doing that? It's a hostile machine. Relax. It's calibrating. That's kind of awesome. Our copy jams on paper. His suit jams on reality.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Do not touch the helmet. I wasn't a... Welcome to Dundermillan Asgard. I bring my hammer. How heavy is you're a hammer? Only the worthy can lift it. I keep saying hammer like it's not a hammer. I hate this.
Starting point is 00:37:30 This is so bad. It doesn't even look good. It doesn't even look like... Burn it. Burn it. Set it to hell. Anyway, the point is that, the energy that went into that
Starting point is 00:37:39 is the same as a huge. human being living their life and the millions of years of evolution that have led us to make that fucking pile of shit so thanks sam for that's the behold the future god what's the president's talking about now yeah no we'll go back to the president i i don't know what to say about office a i slob about slapping iron man into stuff i just don't care i don't see like i i guess I guess it got to a point where it looks realer than I thought it would. It's getting a little closer. I mean, those aren't the people, right?
Starting point is 00:38:18 That's not John Krasinski. Better. But that seems like a specifically really bad one, actually. If that's what Krasinski looks like, I guess we get the last laugh. Did their face melt slightly? Yeah. All right, let me pull up. This is our little homunculi dressed up in office.
Starting point is 00:38:34 I'd like to watch this tariff cliff that will flat for us. Oh, tariffs? Yeah, let's look at this. I got it. I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will like in the past substantially replace
Starting point is 00:38:54 the modern day system of income tax taking a great financial burden off the people that I love. What are you fucking talking about? I don't know about that, sir. They're just going to clap. They're just going to clap. Wait, so the Supreme Court's there.
Starting point is 00:39:10 I was going to say, like, they just... John Roberts, I guess, is not clapping for what it's worth. Was he not? Bird! Good for him. I mean, he really breezed through that, paid for by foreign countries. Will, like in the past substantially replaced the modern day system of income tax. Will, I know you've been watching, do you know if he referenced the Supreme Court saying,
Starting point is 00:39:36 you don't do them, you can't do them? Or is he just acting as if he just acting as if? if the new ones are the same as the old ones and it doesn't matter. Good question. Are you hoping that Will responds with his voice or with typing to me and then I will relay Will's knowledge? We'll let you guys know what Will says. I'm reminded of that guy.
Starting point is 00:39:55 There's like some streamer from a couple months ago who was like, yes, supported President Trump and MAGA. I tried to, because I wanted to make money. I'm like a selfish and greedy. I want more money. I want more money. But then I tried to buy this thing for like, thousand dollars and then i got a call and like yeah it's three thousand dollars extra for tariffs and it's
Starting point is 00:40:14 like i don't know what the fuck a tariff is i know you don't will will has responded uh to my question did he mention the supreme court thing with tariffs and will says yes he talked shit on them so that's good cool yeah i got oh and you losers in there you i gave you your job no good you're the worthless and you get you get this like people i don't know all day i've just seen all these tweets from like the Riley Gaineses of the world being like I just can't believe that people are like going to like boycott this just because they don't like a guy or like don't like what he says it's like first of all the Republicans did this too Trump RX customer sorry it's fine I don't know what's going on they just it's just like yeah Republicans did this like three years ago one of whom is the secretary of state right now and he didn't go to this state of the union right famously Republicans like shouted. There are like so many pictures of like Margie Taylor Green and people shouting during states of the state of the unions, states of the union, attorneys unions. And there's just so many examples and everyone's like, they're so immature doing this. Like, no, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:41:23 President Trump is taking this opportunity to shit on the Supreme Court and you're like, well, they'd insult Trump too. I just don't know. Nothing matters. It's so stupid. How many insults to just the left in general will, how many, how many, you know, radical left, you know, You don't have to give me an exact number. You're not keeping a tally. But I'm positive. No, you do. You've been keeping a tally.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Yes, Will? You know, the civility police are out in full effect. Yes. How dare the Democrats not show up, but this man is going to. It's just like, yeah, do you want to show up and see? Yeah, I can't believe they're not there to watch the president shit on the Supreme Court. Well, I don't know. Chat.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Chat, how many radical lefts have there been? How many? I don't know if you saw the White House shared a bingo. card for the state of the union. But it's not, but it's not stuff that Trump was going to say it's like stuff the Democrats were going to do. Oh, yeah, it's just like, uh,
Starting point is 00:42:18 lib-owning stuff. Clean beautiful coal mentioned is one of them. Clean beautiful coal. I'm sure he had said that. Also, it's funny like the White House being like, here's your bingo card and some of them are like quotes that they could
Starting point is 00:42:34 very well know he's going to say, you're the White House. Half the crowd chance USA USA sure that happened. Economy is so hot right, that's what he says. Well, they planted the U.S. hockey team in there to plant chance. I mean, they literally, right? The U.S.
Starting point is 00:42:50 hockey team started, but the women's hockey team did not show up if I'm not mistaken. No, they didn't go. Democrats get mugged by POTUS. Is that like mogmassing or whatever? I don't. Yes, it is. It's just, it's
Starting point is 00:43:06 just these Nazi zoomers. posting on the White House account is what's going on. Camera pants to member with RBIF. Boo. Okay, Moana says that they the women's hobby team were invited, but they said they had scheduling conflict. Yeah, scheduling. We did too. That's why we're not watching it. Don't schedule your big speech during our live stream, which was planned
Starting point is 00:43:28 for the last Tuesday of this very month, February. There's only 28 days. Figure it out. Yeah. D.J.T. Should we check in with the chat again? Oh, go ahead, Jonathan. probably have a better suggestion. No, there's no better suggestion. I'm checking in the chat again.
Starting point is 00:43:43 How dare you? Well, it's almost seven here. Let's check out of the Baldur's Gay Questions in the chat. Mr. Anti-Paganda, thank you. Math Demigod, 8162. Thank you. Red T.J. again. Everyone's being so nice. Jay say 431, solipsist 44-49.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Dual-wielding bucklers. I'm going to, I'm just, I have to really process the names before I say them. Flixie Plot. Deep purple tunic. Hannah Michaels 1170 thank you Ringo Yote Yeah Benny Beeman 4399
Starting point is 00:44:13 Thank you all so much This is also nice Estro Jennifer, wind 5039 I'm not going to get to them all But we appreciate all of you so much Yeah it's really really really really awesome We really do And we're gonna get us working
Starting point is 00:44:25 It's so much better The tabs and like handling of the tabs Oh my gosh You will not believe how many tabs We're going to have open in March March tab magnets I do want to bring up the Iran stuff a little bit. I don't think he's making any major announcements there.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Thank goodness. Thank you, the Jellicle choice. But yes, it seems like we're going to do it soon. And I know we've been saying this for weeks now, but they're keeping... They've been implying it and alluding to it for weeks as well. So there's a reason. So right. So today the congressional gang of eight got a briefing from Marco Rueh.
Starting point is 00:45:04 We don't really know details, but after coming out of it, Chuck Schumer said, this is serious and the administration has to make its case to the American people, end quote. Thanks, Chuck. Nothing about getting congressional authority, nothing about what the case for what exactly, case for a strike, case for next 20 years. What are we talking here? That's really pathetic, actually. It really is.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I agree with pointing, like, that's, I saw the clip in passing. It's like, all right, at least is saying something. But, like, yeah, no, congressional approval is like the thing that they should be pointing out that he needs. But they might want this to happen. So maybe they're kind of skirting that and laying ground like, oh, we can't do anything. So he made the case and it worked or whatever. Yeah, I think Schumer probably thinks it's a win-win for him. They're going to do the thing that he's wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:45:57 And if it's politically unpopular, well, then it's his fault. And if it goes well, then I will secretly be happy and be like, we got to talk about it. staying in the economy and stuff while we're murdering people. I'm going to do the thing that he's always done, which is be milk toast and weak and not say strong words. And yeah, the hope is that this blows up in their face, I guess. But make the case for the American people. But also that's such a strange, frightening thing to say, just without specifics, to walk out of that. Regardless, just to say, like, this is serious folks.
Starting point is 00:46:33 and I don't know what to say except they've got to make the case to you. I don't know. No, you're our fucking leaders. You're supposed to say any war authorization has to go through Congress. That is our job.
Starting point is 00:46:46 And yeah. Yeah, Pete likes to make the case to the American people. It's just like not true, actually. Well, I mean, I guess he wants it to be more like the Iraq War where they made a case, bad case. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:46:59 But, you know, he wants more of that kind of thing. Nick, if you could put this back a thing that we just had this reporting that top Democrats are trying to stop a vote on the resolution from Roecona and Thomas Massey that would get everyone on the record about whether they approve this kind of thing,
Starting point is 00:47:16 a war powers resolution. They don't want that. They want Trump to do it on his own so they can be mad about it and still do it. Exactly what we just said, but... Yeah, I mean, yeah, there we go. But the reporting agrees with us. Yes, but it's not just us.
Starting point is 00:47:31 it's not just us blowing smoke here. Yeah, it's not like we're not just pessimistic or cynical or anything like that. It's like this is just how it is. This is what they do. And this is what they love.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Before we wrap things up today, well before the president does. Yeah, so you're still going? What are they talking about? We're going to be done before him. My goodness. Before him. tax credits?
Starting point is 00:47:54 The Trump accounts. Sorry, Katie. Oh, yeah, we can play the Trump accounts cliff if you want. I don't care what that guy says. Well, not anything.
Starting point is 00:48:05 But, you know, he is talking. It is the thing. So we should... Fine. I will make you lost. Let's do the thing. It is the state
Starting point is 00:48:15 that the union's in a state and... He doesn't look to be doing great up there. Ah. Parents like Megan can also activate their children's brand new Trump accounts. And I didn't name it.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Yeah, you did. I did not name that. Shut up. Nobody believes me, but I did not name it. It was named by a very tall. No, nobody believes you, bud. Scott Bessent, Scott Bessent, the very tall man. I love how he shifts and really feels like he's holding himself up.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Like, I didn't. What is he doing? He's feeling himself there. Now we're the relaxed part where I'm just like shooting the shit. Hey, buddy. All right, yeah. It looks like he's got to pee. Like I do.
Starting point is 00:49:02 I was going to say it. Why do you think he looks like that, Katie? I know this. Because I know what I start doing this. He should do that. He's got the power. He should be like, and I got to just, I'll be quick. 45 seconds.
Starting point is 00:49:17 I got to take a pee break. I'll be right back. Which way is it? This way. Winermission. Oh, good. He's talking about Somali community. I don't even want to subject anyone to that.
Starting point is 00:49:27 I don't. We're not going to watch it. But apparently he's being very racist about Somali Americans in Minnesota. telling a story about a girl being hit by an illegal, which they love to say that it's murder. They love that. There's something, an incident like that. I'm sure they would never apply that to any other incident like that
Starting point is 00:49:43 with maybe an American or maybe a white American. Now talk about how many white Americans hit people with their cars. Now do that statistic. No. Yeah, largest attack in American history, Trump accounts. We didn't talk about them. Yes, you did name them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Yeah, got them all. Shit in the Supreme Court. I mean, with a few minutes left, we can just check in with him if you want, but I don't want to force that at all. I don't want to watch him do that. We know what it sounds like. We know what it is about. We know why he's doing it.
Starting point is 00:50:21 And we know that everyone's going to clap like. And we want this stream to live up to the billing of mostly ignoring it, which I think we've done. mostly. Mostly. I think we've mostly done that. What else do I have my list? Should we have the response?
Starting point is 00:50:40 I think we need to go do the prepared response. We have a prepared response that we can do. This is not the official Democratic Party response, right? This is from some sort of separate political organization. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an outside organization. This is an exclusive, though. No one else has that except right here on the stream.
Starting point is 00:51:00 You are not going to be able to get this. on at Democrats or at the Forward Party right this is a specifically Yeah this is streaming more news Exclusive
Starting point is 00:51:11 The first ever A bipartisan sort of nonpartisan It is a bi, It's a nonpartisan Everyone's by But it is nonpartisan Listen that's what we're here to talk about
Starting point is 00:51:24 Everyone's by Like oh are we ready Okay Let's go to Oh There's our guy. Hello, my fellows. I thank you for tuning in after whatever it is that happened right before this.
Starting point is 00:51:41 To be honest, I did not watch the speech. I find this stuff to be quite boring and even more confusing. One day, I will look up what the word policy means, but it is not this day. If you must know my opinion on the speech, I will simply say, boo. Or if you prefer, yay. I am not going to pander. I am simply going to tell you what you want to hear. I'm not here to respond to some speech,
Starting point is 00:52:09 which again I did not listen to as I was busy with my small business, a laundromat that takes your dirty clothes, Wombo smells them deeply and passionately, and returns them unwashed. But this is not about my small business, although yes, Wombo is indeed the backbone of America. And the backbone is strong. Because today, my friends, I'm not going to look up the word policy.
Starting point is 00:52:35 No, today I'm here to tell you that the state of our union is strong. When first our union began, nobody knew about it. Many, perhaps most, still do not. But I tell you, the state of our union is strong. When first the deal was made, it was but with one young old man. who agreed to the spiritual, psychological, and physical union of every person on the planet with me, Warburne. All for a small price of one jacket and tie, which I procured, thanks to some things left behind, by one of the customers of my very legitimate small business, which I provided, of course, unwashed.
Starting point is 00:53:20 And ever since that smelly jacket and tie was accepted, our union was real. From day one it was strong. One day, of course, we will all be one, and that one will be Wombo. But for now, all you need to do is relax and to know that Wormbo is here. Every day, our union strengthens. Warmbo strengthens. Every day, Wombo grows more, Bo. Every day, Wombo gets more comfortable sharing his opinions.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Every day, Wombo gets better. at doing his own research. And although Wombo may be bored, so, so, so bored, he is not complacent. He will not go quietly into the night. You may, but Wombo will not. You may give up without a fight.
Starting point is 00:54:10 You may not live on. You may not survive. But today, we celebrate me, Wombo. Which reminds you, Wombo would like to take a moment to talk about the wonderful thing is going on over at Polly Market. Did you know,
Starting point is 00:54:24 You have Polymark to be out there's no way of money. I mean, money is fake after all. So why not use it to bet on whether or not the people in your life will die? And, better yet, how they will die. It's all happening on Polly Market, proud sponsor of the planet's union with Wombo. Use promo code. Shouldn't this be illegal for nothing? There is no deal.
Starting point is 00:54:47 No, scratch that. There is a deal. And it is the deal Wombo made with one person regarding the fates of every single other person on the planet. Many of you may have noticed more frequent headaches when visiting Cuba. Many of you may notice something I'm told people are calling brain fog. Many people are outsourcing simple, doable cognitive tasks to spreadsheets that hallucinate. This is all of course, thanks to Wampo and this beautiful union, which I will remind you, is strong. But there are forces, Dark forces other than Wombo, who are trying to tear our union apart.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Brother against brother, cousin, cousin against one little old me. But we will not let these forces divide us. They are petty. They are small. Yes, they're really cute, and it's really sad to see a cute little monkey be abandoned by his little monkey family, and then take a stuffed animal and pretend that it is his mom and friend, because all his friends are his mom rejected him. And obviously monkeys are weird cute, but you're all forgetting that one day everything will all be mean.
Starting point is 00:55:54 So maybe instead of giving so much attention to the cute little viral monkey, you should be talking about how cute Wombo is, and giving him stuffed animals and talking exclusively about Wombo being precious, darling, and unknowable. Which I can be for now. And so, my delo feligates, my sweet potato cheeses, my apple cheese, my apple cheese, my apple pies, my meatloafs. I extend my total and unconditional gratitude, which you can appreciate now, but not forever,
Starting point is 00:56:28 because like I said, eventually you'll be assimilated and won't really recognize what it means to receive gratitude. But for now, it's good. So accept it. Please. Thank you for your support, regardless of whether or not it was offered by you, the other billions of people on the planet, that piece of shit, little monkey,
Starting point is 00:56:46 or that person who just wanted a stinky, stinky, stinky, tackled tide. You sustain me. You pleasure me. You are the reason our union is strong. Also blood and puke magic. That's what did it. But mostly you and your great attitude or spirit or whatever. And so, to conclude my historic speech, the state of the coming union between Wombo and all living things past and future for the purposes of delighting and sustaining Wombo, Here is just a little list of things Wombo likes. Birth control. Hoshi Min. Richard Nixonag again.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Moonshot. Woodstock? Watergate. Punk rock. Reagan. Reagan. Palestine? Error on the airline.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Aetolos in Iran? Russians in Afghanistan. Candyman tempting the thoughts of a sweet tooth. Torchered by weight loss. Programmed cutting corners. Loose end. Loose end. Cut.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Cut on the fence not to offend. Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, and entourage. Thank you, God bless, the inevitable oncoming, all-consuming darkness. Me, Wombo! Well. That was a scathing indictment of Donald Trump right there. God, Cody, he's been here the whole time. I was taking a nap.
Starting point is 00:58:07 What's up? Was it good? It was great. It was fantastic. I don't know how Trump comes back from this, to be honest. I don't either. What all those little ants are marching. Or us, honestly.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Our lives true views plummeted. Well, listen, they weren't ready. They weren't ready for the truth. They didn't get it. So let's see. Ilhan Omar is yelling, you have killed Americans at Trump, as is Rashida Taleb, I believe. Also, thank you, Michael G485, Miller and 7215, Luke Degner. Thank you so much.
