Let's start over.
The madman's done it.
Donald Trump has announced the framework of a deal over Greenland.
Now, it's not going to be total ownership, but it's got everybody pretty happy.
Denmark seems to be happy.
NATO seems to be happy.
Trump seems to be a little letdown because he really wanted to own Greenland and he's not going to.
But it's described as an indefinite deal with mineral rights, strategic access, and it's meant to keep Russia and China out of Greenland.
and the deal itself will be about protecting Greenland and the Arctic.
It seems like this was a classic Donald Trump big ask.
He comes out and says, we're going to take Greenland.
And everyone freaks out and he goes, okay, maybe just a little bit.
And they say, okay, fine, how about a little bit?
And now we're moving forward.
Unfortunately, that means no Trump hotel just blistering in the skyline of Greenland.
But it's okay.
We'll take what we can get.
And then we got a bunch of other news.
We've got Bovino.
He's an ice guy, DHS or ICE?
Border Patrol.
Border Patrol. I was way off. Well, DHS. And he got attacked at his speedway, and they wouldn't serve him. They wouldn't let him and his guys come in against next. Now there's call for a major boycott. And then, of course, we've got news coming out of Virginia where they're basically gearing up to go to war with the federal government, I guess. Weird stuff going on. Let's just leave it at that. We'll get into it. It's going to be a little bit freaky. But before we do, got a great sponsor for you. It is BeamDream.

movie if you haven't yet. But before we do that, I want to throw it over to tape Brown.
What is going on, Patriots, Tate Brown here, holding it down. We didn't get to it yesterday,
but we were supposed to cover how all of these stories impact Ian directly. So maybe we can avenge
that and get that going today. Okay, thanks. Phil. Hello everybody. My name is Phil Labonte.
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains on an Anti-Communist and a Counter-Revolutionary.
Let's get into it. Here's the big breaking story from the Washington Post. Trump hails
framework of Greenland Deal reversing tariff threats. Following this, the stock market
jumped up surging, the Dow surging 550 points, the S&P 500,
NASDAQ jumping as Trump backs off the tariff threats.
NATO seems to be pretty dang happy.
NATO said a statement, negotiations between Denmark, Greenland, and the United States
will go forward aimed at ensuring that Russia and China never gain a foothold
economically or militarily in Greenland.
Rutzold Fox News, special report with Brett Baer Wednesday that Danish sovereignty of the
territory wasn't talked about in the meetings with Trump.
We basically discussed how we can implement the president's vision on protecting
yes, Greenland, but of course this, not only Greenland, this whole Arctic.
Now, here's the framework of the deal.
The breaking details, we believe these to be the details.
The U.S. will gain control over small pockets of land in Greenland.
The U.S. will be involved in Greenland's mineral rights.
Greenland is estimated to hold reserves worth as much as $5 trillion.
The U.S. Golden Dome system will be involved in Greenland when it's built.
The deal is designed to block Russian and Chinese.
influence in Greenland. This will open the door to U.S.-backed infrastructure investment.
The duration of the deal will have an indefinite time frame. This means Trump will have secured
land, minerals, and defense in one deal, effectively getting everything they wanted, and that Greenland
and Denmark can say, we won as well, maintaining their sovereignty, but the U.S. is going to basically
do what they did before. So this looks like a classic Donald Trump big ask, where he threatens to
punch you in the face, but then you agree to just hug.
I have to say, Donald, this is directly to you.
You got me. I
bought it, hook, line, and sinker.
Last night, it was
I, I was, I was, I was the end for me.
I was like, you've gone too far. I cannot,
I cannot support you anymore, and then you turned
and did this, so nice job.
Over Greenland?
I was like, he's going to get us, he's threatening
Europe, and if Europe turns on us,
which they were talking about doing, sending troops to Greenland
plus, then the Russians
and the Chinese would also, the vultures
would start to circle. So thank you, Donald, for being such a harsh, strong businessman in these
desperate times and turning the steel. You're not a plan, trustee, and you are clearly a panicking.
It's amazing that no matter how many times Trump uses this exact strategy, the same strategy
he literally wrote a book about, that people just continuously do this. He anchors the position,
he makes the big ass, he goes out there and makes sure that you are looking well beyond what he's
actually looking for, and then he dials it back. He lets everybody be a winner. Everybody can relax.
He's done this over and over again, and that's why we always say, you got to watch not just what Trump says, but what he's doing, what he's actually planning, where he's actually setting himself.
If you run out there and take every single thing he says seriously, then you're just falling for the exact strategy he's already laid out.
You're being played just like the media.
It doesn't mean you have to believe everything Trump says.
Doesn't mean he gets a free pass on everything, but people really do have to calm down with the whole rhetorical stuff.
We've seen this so many times over and over again, and people just end up embarrassing themselves when they take every bit of it seriously.
That's my favorite part when they embarrass themselves.
Well, it works for Trump to, right?
And to be fair, with this go around,
again, with the tariffs being threatened with Trump,
like not refusing to admit that he could potentially go to war over this,
a lot of plan trusts,
a lot of our top guys, we're getting a little antsy.
They were saying, you know, I like the deal.
I like the strategy, but do we really need to apply this much pressure to Europe?
These sorts of things.
It's antagonizing, like even like right-wing parties in Europe.
So shout out to the poster, Homan's top guy.
He was never, he was a plan trust the entire time.
And anytime some of our guys were starting,
to be like, I don't know, Donald, like, can we take the heat off a little bit?
He'd be in the replies and just let him have it.
So this, I think, to be honest, this was like the ultimate plan trusting test.
Because, like I said, a lot of the top plan trussers were even getting a little bit cold feet over this.
This is, I don't know.
I want to just be gracious, you know, for this deal looking like it's going through.
But it makes me nervous about, like, who's coming next?
Who's the next?
Because this guy is holding it together with, like, willpower.
Donald Trump is like, people are terrified of him and they love him.
and they're like scared of him
and they're like geopolitically is a mastermind.
I mean, I know people are studying him.
Vance is studying him, but it's like,
you can't just become Donald Trump.
I don't know.
Look, if Democrats do, you know,
win and take control of like the House,
the Senate and the executive office,
like that's going to be the undoing
of basically everything good that Donald Trump's done.
They'll undo things that are good.
Just the same way that Joe Biden,
Biden opened the borders totally because of Donald Trump doing what he did about, you know,
about the illegal immigration and stuff.
They're going to undo even good things just to spite Donald Trump.
So that's another reason why it's incredibly important that people go and vote in the midterms
and go and vote for whoever isn't the Democrat.
As much as people are out there that are like, oh, I'm sick and tired of voting for the lesser
of two evils.
I don't care what you're tired of.
Well, I mean, I'm blackpilled.
After this redistricting thing, I don't think voting matters at all.
I mean, it barely did to begin with, but we did believe.
Now, Democrats and Republicans have basically been like, let's utilize the power we have to wipe out our opposition in our states, except Indiana that went, oh, slow down there, Trump.
Well, that's my larger concern, Tim.
You see him consolidating places like Venezuela.
You see him consolidating places like Greenland.
We understand that we need a sphere of influence, but ultimately this is the empire, right?
This is strengthening the empire.
Now, if the empire is being run by patriots, if it's being run for the advantages of the American people, that's fantastic.
But the problem is if the Democrats get back to power and they have all the power that Trump has secured for the United States, but he hasn't secured it domestically, the Unipa scenario where the left now has a stronger global American empire, but they're running it for their own interests.
They're running it for the globalists.
They don't care about Americans.
They're making sure to purge Americans, replace Americans.
And so that's why I would prefer that while I love what the Trump administration is doing in so.
certain areas when it comes to securing our interests, if you don't secure the homeland,
if you don't secure the voting, if you don't do that, then it doesn't matter because you're
just turning all that stuff over the Democrats. And if they don't get rid of it, like Phil said,
they'll just use it to hurt us. Yeah, well, I made the point on the show last night. I think I was
using your talking point, which is objectively true, is that it's no longer, these elections
are no longer about, you know, swinging over independent voters and these sorts of things to a degree
that's still important. But it really is just a census at the end of the day. And when you look at,
again, like these redistricting plays, when you look at, again, the immigration that took place under Biden,
like fundamentally what these elections are just coming down to is what is the actual makeup of that district
and then it just takes a snapshot of it. That's all that's really occurring.
It seems like that should be illegal at the federal level for a state to do that
because that gives that state untoward influence over national elections. So then the Supreme Court has to say,
like, hey, you can't just all of a sudden say our state is all Democratic voters because we redistricted everything.
That's crazy.
But the Constitution is very clear that that is the power that the states retain.
And so that's the problem is it was designed that way.
You were supposed to be able to throw a spanner in the works.
But when you like you say, when that no longer becomes an issue of good faith,
when people are actively and maliciously using the legal system to skew those politics,
all of a sudden that federalism is a problem.
Same thing when it comes down to states' rights when you're removing immigration, right?
Like ultimately, yes, you should have federalism.
They should have control over their law enforcement.
But when they're actively choosing to allow violence in their state,
they're targeting Republicans, targeting conservatives, targeting churches, and they're just allowing
violence to happen? Can you really allow them to continue to operate? And this is the problem.
No law will actually bind bad actors. Laws are only for people who are living and working together
in a society together. The minute you have people maliciously working to undermine that trust,
you can write all the laws you matter you want and they're never going to matter. It's never
rule of law. It's always rule of people. Yeah. Do you think that the redistrict thing is just a lost cause?
Have you given up on the voting stature of the states?
I am not a fan of democracy.
So to the extent that I think we have to continue to fight that
because it is the way that we legitimize our rulers today.
We have to fight for every inch and every advantage inside that system.
But I think democracy is largely dead.
I don't think we're going to get an actual mandate from the people anymore.
I think it's all about pushing and pulling numbers,
manipulating zones, controlling machine voting.
but the idea that we're going to have some Mr. Smith goes to Washington nationwide debate on issues
anymore is a joke. I mean, look at Congress. It can't even pass a bill. You're a smart guy.
I appreciate it. I completely agree. We've been heading this direction, and I feel like it's inevitable.
It was an obvious inevitability. We've talked about this a year ago, the geographic hyper-polarization,
which was COVID, right? People in New York moved to Florida. We were in West Virginia two months ago.
I mean, technically we're still operating West Virginia.
We're here in Florida trying to work out our future plans because of the threats.
The interesting thing is despite the fact that we were in West Virginia, which is very based,
you border Maryland and Virginia, and Virginia has gone psych, totally psycho.
I mean, what Spanberger's done, the socialist, the left, the commies are throwing their hats in there,
screaming and cheering up.
It's not even an exaggeration.
She's erased four years, as Tate said, of Yonkin in 48 hours.
We're up there in West Virginia, but bordering this, it's contentious.
I have weird beefs over like a skate park thing that was not real.
And then I go to like a DC.
And then there's some people who are like posting things saying Tim Pools or races at a skate park or whatever.
Come to Florida and everybody's cheering for us.
Because of the geographic hyper-polarization.
This was what did I say was going to happen with New York and these other jurisdictions?
When people leave New York, it's going to weaken the conservative voter base, meaning the politicians, the Democrats,
the Democrats no longer have to try to earn at least some of the conservative vote and be a little
moderate. That means when the primary comes around, the psychokami is going to run against the moderate.
And the psycho commies like, I don't got to pander to anybody. The conservatives are gone.
This vote is only going to come down to the far left and the centrist Democrat,
centrist, the liberal Democrat. And so they're starting to win. And then where we're at now with
the redistricting war was obvious with people in California, conservative leaning moving to Texas and
Washington to Arizona, New York to Florida, the ability to push back is gone.
And the Democrats in the state say, we can now shut their voices out completely.
The fascinating thing going on, a couple of stories we got to go through.
New York is eliminating their 11th district seat.
They're calling it unconstitutional.
It's got to redraw it, eliminating a Republican.
Maryland did the same thing.
Mike Cerniff, she had a great tweet.
He said, Maryland cut a deal with Republicans saying, you don't redistrict in your area.
We won't redistrict here.
And then when they're when I think it was Indiana, when Indiana is like, okay, fine, we won't do it.
Maryland goes, psych, we're doing it.
Let's go.
And now they're eliminating the last Republican seat.
You can actually just, it's, to me, it's one plus one equals two.
Okay.
What happens when the midterm election is no longer having any toss-ups at all?
It's literally just 200 and, you know, 20 Democrats and then the rest of Republicans had solid blue, solid red.
There's no elections anymore.
It's literally just a Democrat state.
will always be Democrat. It's happening at the federal level, the national level, what happened to our cities.
The Democrats have controlled Chicago for over 100 years, and there's zero chance a Republican will
ever get elected there. And now it's happening at the state level, and it's coming to Congress,
and then what do you think the next course of action will be in this country? Because when there's
nowhere left to go, the pressure builds up and the kettle explodes.
I think the great sort has to happen. I think it was inevitable. The idea that we could live,
great sort? The great sort. Yeah. Yeah, the sorting of the different beliefs. We used to believe
you could just live anywhere in the United States and we shared enough values, enough social fabric.
You'd be fine. And so people moved all these places for education and business and these kind of
things. But what they found is they were living next to a bunch of people who didn't share their
religion, didn't share their beliefs, didn't share their values. And we were constantly in a
state of war. Now everybody's going back to the places where they can be around people that
they actually agree with, actually believe in, can have real communities. And I think
that's actually a positive one of the upsides of remote work is you can actually live around people
and not have to worry about your job being right down the street you can just live around people
you actually care about so we're seeing more intentional communities we're seeing people moving together
moving to places where they actually agree florida remember was a purple state trending blue
for most my because when people came from new york and new jersey they came down here to retire
and they used their their pension now the people coming here they're fleeing covid they want to be
with ron desantis they're republic what was the dissantis win margin
I don't remember, but it was quite large the second time.
That dude who was caught, what was he like doing meth or something?
Yeah, he got caught doing meth with a gay prostitute.
Yeah.
And he was like, didn't he have like foam at the mouth?
Or it's like, what was that all about?
Yeah.
He almost won.
And then DeSantis narrowly wins and immediately, you know,
honestly, thank you to DeSantis for fixing this state and making it what it is.
Not just him.
The state legislature did a great job as well.
It's a shame about his presidential run.
Not very good, but Florida's fantastic.
So in 2018.
DeSantis win margin was 0.4% over Andrew Gillen. But in 2022, it was a nearly 20% win over Charlie.
Because everybody came here. Well, the EOC came here to vacation because she didn't like her own
state's COVID lockdown stuff. Well, and really importantly, DeSantis cleaned up the voter rolls.
Yeah. This is something that people did not do. This is something guys like Glenn Yonkin didn't
do. When DeSantis got into power, he made sure to use that power to secure power in Florida for the Republicans,
moving forward. You have to take control of those votes.
Let's show up to this next story from the new republic, our communist friends.
It's civil war, baby. The way they describe it, Abigail Spanberger's first move as Virginia
governor was a masterstroke. Even moderate Democrats can be boldly anti-Maga.
Other centrist Democrats should follow her example.
What did she do? They say even before taking office last Saturday, the new Virginia
Governor Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat, demanded and received the resignations of several of her
Republican predecessor Glenn Yonkins appointees to the board that oversees University of Virginia.
In a similar vein, the state's new attorney general Democrat J. Jones forced out legal counsels at
George Mason University and the Virginia Military Institute who were appointed by his Republican predecessor.
Job change in state colleges aren't usually national news, but with Spanberger and Virginia
Democrats are doing matters well beyond old dominion, Republicans like Trump and Yon can keep appointing
right-wing partisans to traditionally apolitical roles like university board member and FBI
director. These appointments are designed to turn key nonpartisan institutions into
apparatus for the Republican Party. Epirate, hi. Well, here's the bill that I want to show you. This is
from LAS.orgia.gov. Bill details introduced January 14th, 2026. Hey, this is really fun. What does
this bill say? Quote, all orders from the federal government or any of its officers, agencies,
or departments to the state militia of Virginia, including the National Guard and the National Guard
and the unorganized militia that relate to the call, induction, or drafting of Virginia state troops
of any type or description into the federal service for active duty or otherwise, and withdrawing
them from the control of the governor of Virginia shall be first transmitted to and through the governor
of Virginia. The governor as commander-in-chief of the state militia shall not approve, consent to,
or concur in any such order that has not been transmitted as herein required.
Additionally, no armed militia from any other state, from another state, territory, or district shall enter the Commonwealth for the purpose of active military duty without the permission of the governor of Virginia, unless such militia has been called into the federal services for active duty and is acting under the authority of the President of the United States pursuant to Title 10 of U.S. Code.
Governor, to be notified of receipt of order, no action taken, until his instructions complied with certain communications prohibited.
In other words, this may be a lot of bluster. Senate bill number 337.
but I think it's pretty clear what this does.
This is basically setting the framework for Trump,
the federal government, and the president cannot federalize National Guard.
He's done it in other states.
He's been challenged in the judiciary.
The courts have said yes, the courts have said no, it's currently ongoing.
They're attempting to preempt this by passing a state law saying only the governor can approve of it
after the president makes the request.
And she can say no.
So what happens when Donald Trump says,
we're going to enforce the law in Virginia and then Virginia refuses or pulls one of these weird anti-ice bills which violate the Constitution.
Then Donald Trump says, Insurrection Act and we're going to federalize National Guard to enforce domestic law.
And then she says that's illegal in the state of Virginia pursuant to Senate bill or to, I think this is what is this?
I don't know if the bill title is 4-1-1-4-1-4.1, Cota Virginia or amending this.
And then what happens after that?
to call up the National Guard of another state.
And this also says they can't be sent in.
Well, then that turns into, you know, an actual confrontation.
Never quote laws to men with, well, guns, I guess, in this case.
But, yeah, it's amazing that the blue states have suddenly discovered that they love John C. Calhoun.
All of a sudden, they're making, you know, nullification arguments.
It's absolutely insane.
But this just shows you the Democrats don't have principles.
They don't care.
They care about victory.
And this is why I'm so tired of hearing, you know, establishment conservatives talk about their
principles and their abstract understandings and then complaining with stuff like this happens.
You guys set yourselves up for this. You're weak. You're cowardly. You're stupid. You're childish.
Politics has become existential. You have to treat it as such. And if you don't take power,
if you don't use it, this kind of stuff's going to happen. The Democrats are not going to
hesitate to shore a power and push back against you at every turn. Yeah, we literally had last,
it was like a few weeks ago, the whole blue slip debate was going on because, again,
Trump's trying to get a judge approved in New Jersey. And Chuck Grassley comes out and he's like,
no, we're not touching the blue slip system,
which basically just allows a senator from a state
to object to a judge appointment,
which back in the day made sense
because, again, that senator would have
information on this judge because they're local.
Now it's literally just a partisan thing
where it's just, again, senators hijacking
a judge appointments.
All this to be said,
Chuck Grassley comes out and he's like,
no, because during the Biden administration,
we utilized the blue slip system
and it's part of our American principles
and it would be a total violation of our principles
to object to this system.
just utterly ridiculous people are not serious.
They do not know what time it is,
and it's unbelievably frustrating.
And all this happens is,
I mean, kind of back to the great sort,
is this is just Virginia, ultimately,
among other things,
attempting to shake out Republicans
and ensure victory.
This is like to the point,
we're talking about with Florida,
where Florida, you know,
DeSantis wins decisively.
At the same time in 2021
and the state of New York,
Lee Zeldon loses by about 300,000 votes to Kathy Hokel.
Where is that margin to victory?
Fort Lauderdale,
Orlando, Jacksonville.
That's where they are.
So it's just utterly ridiculous.
us that Republican cowardice is really leading, again, to this great sort in many ways,
is leading to a shakedown of the entire country at large.
The idea of the great sort, it sounds great until the Democrats get control of the federal government
and they just install all the laws that they did in Virginia but do them federally.
Oh, it's going to be bonkers what Democrats do when they get in.
They are going to get in and this modicum of resistance Republicans have feigned.
They are going to use as justification.
for just bulldozing the whole country.
They're going to say, well, Donald Trump once, you know,
it shuffled my garbage can outside my house.
That's an affront to justice, so we're going to put you all in prison.
We're going to ban guns.
We're going to open the borders.
And it's just, that's the excuse they're going to use.
Democrats have made it clear that a peaceful exchange of power is no longer an option.
I mean, they blatantly said, we're putting Pete Hegseth in jail,
we're putting Donald Trump in jail.
We're putting everybody who's worked for the administration in jail.
we're probably putting a bunch of Trump supporters in jail.
You can no longer hand Democrats power.
We're putting in jail too.
That's what worries me the most.
Ian's going to prison.
Everyone else is going to go to jail.
He's going to six months.
He gets a year to jail and help them install webcams for the prisoners.
I'll go.
What kind of business are you planning to run, Ben?
It's just a venture capitalist.
Let's go.
Making people rich when they get out.
I've made this point before on the show.
People don't believe me.
It's literally if you are, if you have a Twitter account and you're expressing, you're expressing,
support for these ICE operations, go to Archive.org, even if your Twitter's tiny, put in your
handle, put in your URL or whatever. Someone is logging your Twitter. People are logging your
Twitter. So again, even if it's not like maybe necessarily you going to jail, you're going to
face social repercussions if heaven forbid you ever get doctors or something like that. From the top,
from these politicians, from these governors, from these senators, all the way down to the
activist space, they are watching us and they are salivating at the opportunity to come after us.
I'd love to do a bit like this where it's like, you know, three years in the future and we're
IRL and were like the Democrats have taken every branch of government. The court has been packed
and they're now announcing arrest warrants for prominent conservative personalities, independence and
moderates. And I fear we're next on the door busts open. A bunch of dudes that guns come in,
grab Ian and drag him out. And we're like, wait, what? And then one of them walks back in
goes, you guys are good. Just him. You're fine. I'm a patsy. I'm a patsy. And then it turns out
Ian was actually the real brains behind the show the whole time.
I have been the mastermind.
He writes my script, the prompter right in front of me.
I'm just reading what Ian wrote.
He's actually running mostly peaceful memes and a bunch of other pros.
If you could see the things I think.
He writes Trump speeches?
Like about radical change on the globe.
Like the way I think is so far in the future.
So that's why I actually an idiot a lot because it makes me like not a target.
It's so far in the future.
It sounds like schizophrenia.
Yeah.
It sounds crazy.
He's ghostwriting to history books.
Like if you read the white.
papers of like crypt like if you read deep tech papers you just like holy fuck um but what it makes me think
is watch your app on politics yeah like the swearing you know politics is about as crumpled as is
a wet piece of toilet paper right now um like mushed into a paste yeah just crusty and this is why
the culture war is so important especially with this redistricting if it really doesn't matter who's voting
it's just there's going to be blocks of people you want sane democrats you want sane republicans so
So the culture war becomes super important to get people on a kind of a cultural cohesive level.
But Ian, so Ian, Oren was making this point on a show today.
What do you do when you have a Democrat that says that basically runs as a moderate, right,
and then gets into office and is as far left as you can go?
Because that's exactly what Abigail Spangorger.
Spangemberger, right?
Spanberger.
Spanburger.
I was called her Spamburger.
That's exactly what she did.
She ran as a moderate.
She was alleged to be a center left Democrat, right?
Very normal Democrat, blah, blah, blah,
gets into the office and then starts ramming through all of the most far-left stuff
that any progressive would ever want.
If you can't ascertain what your politicians are going to do by what they say,
then, I mean, essentially, your, your, your, your, your vote is worthless.
Never forget that FDR ran on a small government platform.
Did he really?
Yeah, Roosevelt ran on reducing the size of government, getting government out of things,
and then immediately turned around and basically said,
I'm taking total power and completely running a revolution through this country.
This is as old as it gets, man.
Like, you can't trust politicians.
Of course, they're going to lie.
The only people who are dumb enough to believe them are Republicans.
The Democrats know you run as a moderate,
and then you become Mao as soon as you get into office.
That's how they operate.
I want to talk about the story since we have you here on McIntyre.
This is an interesting chain of events that occurred on Acts.
It started with this video.
Cartman with a gun.
Of what looks like,
it looks like Jeremy Hambly, to be completely honest.
There's a guy in Minnesota with a, go on,
is that just like an AR-15?
There's an AR with a can on it with silence.
Yeah, it looks like that.
Are you right?
Suppressor?
Suppressor.
And he basically says he's out here to protect his neighbor.
This is my neighbor.
Well, Gunther Eagleman says, lock him up.
Now hold down there.
Gosh darn a darn minute.
We're two-A people here.
We love guns.
People are to keep in bare arms.
And they can walk around and do whatever they want with their guns.
I certainly think so.
In response to this, you got to call.
You got a community note saying, this is the Second Amendment, which gives people the right to keep in bare arms.
Gunther Eagleman has previously said, we must never give up our Second Amendment.
In response to this, Hannah Cox says, there it goes.
Maga zombies have flipped on every other conservative position, and now they don't even like the Second Amendment.
Now, my response to this is this right here on the surface, totally fine.
I don't care.
It's a dude, to be honest, seems a lot of shape, but he's got a weapon.
He's got good trigger discipline.
I accept it.
And he's allowed to do it.
And by all means, please.
The question is, what is the intent behind it?
Is he fighting oppression and tyranny?
Or is he supporting oppression and tyranny?
And the issue is this is a lawful government, duly elected, enforcing its laws, which
have been in the books for decades.
In which case, this is not as our moral worldview, who believe in the Second Amendment,
a justifiable instance of bearing arms to support lawful governance.
and the right of the people.
In fact, it is rogue operators
trying to supplant the will of the people
as we have duly operated
in our previous election.
The Republicans didn't go out and shoot anybody.
They didn't write and burn everything down.
By all means, go ahead and scream J6.
I'm not for that either.
The point is, this guy is not here to represent lawful governance.
He is here to say,
I don't care for your lawful governance,
which sends me to this before we get in everything.
The point here and the question of whether or not
this is actually about the Second Amendment
I bring you a passage from Ulysses S. Grant following the Civil War, for which I'm interested in Oran's opinion.
He said in his memoirs, if the war had been a war of rebellion against tyranny, I should have been on the side of the rebellion.
I would have been, I should have been on the side of rebellion, but it was not.
There was a right of revolution, but there is no right of rebellion against a lawful government.
The right of revolution is a natural one, and is not to be questioned, but rebellion against constituted authority is treason and must be treated as such.
The Constitution gave the right to change the form of government in a lawful way, and no government is safe unless the right is reserved to the people.
But rebellion against an existing government is an offense and must be punished.
The southern states had no more right to secede from the Union than a county has to secede from a state.
Now, while I don't completely agree, I do believe it's fair to say, the South decided to engage in our functioning constitutional process.
When they lost that electoral process, they then said, we're out.
Now hold on. We all agreed. Blood and treasure were sacrificed. You were admitted. And then you didn't like the outcome. So you said, I'm taking my ball and going home. That's different from the American Revolution where we said, please let us be involved in governance. And the crown said no. And decided for us, despite the fact we were largely autonomous. These are completely distinct. And what these people who are saying, I guess, Maga doesn't like Second Amendment anymore. Don't understand is that there are distinct moral worldviews and nuances to when and how we determine you have a right to fight back.
against a tyrannical government.
But all right, I'm curious, based on everything I just said, what your thoughts are.
I mean, with the situation in the South, what you're looking about, like he said, you know,
our founding fathers pointed out that the reason they needed to leave is that they wanted
the rights of the Englishmen.
Like, that was their problem.
They wanted the rights that they felt they were entitled to as Englishmen and that was not
being upheld by the parliament.
A lot of people say it was a war against the king, but actually they appealed to the king
regularly, hoping that he would save them from parliament.
And when he wouldn't, only then did they say, okay, now we have to appeal to heaven
because we have no other place to appeal.
We have the right of a revolution.
I think this is a bad understanding from Grant.
I mean, obviously, they participated in the government.
The South decided that they were not receiving the rights that they believe that they were due.
And if the 10th Amendment means anything,
if their states actually have rights reserved to them,
then the right to leave has to be part of it.
If you don't have a right to leave, you don't have a right to anything.
Now, ultimately, I don't think any government can actually enshrine the right of revolution.
I think that's not how constitutions actually work.
But spiritually, morally, I think you do have a fair argument for being able to leave at that time.
Of course, people tie the word of slavery, and that's why now they just make it that instead.
But on the issue of a leftist bearing arms in Minnesota for the purpose of, it's intimidation against ice.
Yeah.
Are they allowed? Is the open carry allowed in Minnesota?
I doubt it.
It is.
Oh, it is.
So he was lawfully wielding it?
Presumably he is.
But my point is simply, first and foremost, I'm totally fine with what that guy is doing.
That being said, there is a question about if his purpose is to intimidate and threaten duly
appointed law enforcement that we voted on, is this a question of rebellion or is it a question
of treason and sedition?
I'm fine.
I'm fine this with states the rights as long as we all get them.
The funny thing is I know the Democrats, this is all going to disappear tomorrow, right?
They don't actually believe any of this.
If they want to be consistent on this, I'm fine, but I know they're not going to be.
You know, as far as this particular dude is, you can very easily make an argument that he's aiding
and abetting criminal activity, right?
The point is he's out there intending to intimidate law enforcement when they're trying
to wrap up illegal aliens and people that are breaking the law because not all these people
that are quote unquote protesting are peacefully protesting.
They're actually out there, you know, they're inhibiting law enforcement.
They're causing, they're engaging in violent activities.
They're intimidating other people.
So, I mean, you can make a completely reasonable argument saying, look, he's out there
specifically to aid and abet criminal activity, not to,
exercise the Second Amendment.
I don't think it's a reasonable.
That wouldn't be,
I don't think I would stand a reason
that he was aiding and abetting
because unless he flagged a cop.
No, no.
He's out,
the specific reason that he's out there
is to make ICE aware
that he's got a gun.
Yeah.
So that's right as a citizen.
The intent is to intimidate law enforcement
that's acting legally.
If you're intimidated by me having a gun,
that's your problem.
It's not, I'm not doing it.
You're not,
I'm not law enforcement.
Like I said,
this is about law enforcement
trying to do their job.
I'm going to put it like this.
And I'm looking for your response.
Are we going to play the game of drat?
They've used our principles against us once again.
I guess they win and they get to take over.
Or do we say the laws are intended for a duly faithful people,
faithful to God or the government, however you want to view it,
who agree with each other and say we work together,
we understand what the rules are.
If you're going to people who want to destroy you and saying,
I will bestow upon you all the rights that I hold as well, knowing you won't return in kind
and are actively trying to kill me, shut my government down, and change everything that I believe in.
We lose.
We lose overnight, if that's the case.
So my point is, again, this video on the surface, no problems.
It's a guy standing around with a rifle.
I really don't care.
And I'm not going to complain about it.
The greater, the bigger picture, individuals showing up with weapons intending,
to intimidate ICE because they have a moral worldview distinct from ours and the founding fathers
and our Constitution what this country is supposed to be, and they seek to destroy our way of life.
If we say to them, do as you must, do as you please, we know for a fact tomorrow they're going to say,
on your knees to the gulag. Do we let them do it?
There's an old saying for my friends, everything and for my enemies, the law.
And so, you know, there's one of the scenarios where, yes, there's a certain set of laws in place,
but the way that they get enforced and actually carried out really determines everything.
And so, yeah, we need to do things under the color of law.
I think we should maintain the rule of law.
But to the extent we can use law to our advantage, we should do that in every single sense.
Every opportunity.
We should maximize that every opportunity?
So does this one guy get to carry his gun out there?
Maybe.
But I want to see Don Lemon riding in jail for 10 years.
I want to see every guy who walked into that church spending 10 years in jail.
I want the maximum penalty.
I want the law prosecuting.
every single person who breaks it. So yeah, we can allow this guy to hold his gun. But the minute
he does anything, I want him in jail for the rest of his life. And I want to make sure he and his
friends all go to jail if they're involved in criminal conspiracy to do things like inhibit rights.
So I think we should use the law effectively in every situation. Well, that's why they're calling
him Kyle Reddit House because he like he knows exactly what he's right. Yeah, he's literally like
trying to again weaponize. This is what's what's so frustrating about the fact that conservatives,
there's so many of my principles conservatives because he's very aware of.
of what he's doing here.
This is a strategy, again,
to, like, bait conservatives
into coming out and defending him.
Like, it really is just the most pernicious Reddit strategy.
But can we call him, like, something like the soitering
or, you know, something like, you know, something like that,
you know what I mean?
If he puts that, if he puts that brace on his shoulder,
he's broken the law, right?
Yeah.
That's still technically ATF.
Yeah.
So all we need to do is get this guy in short-ed rifle.
That's not a short-barreled rifle, though.
Oh, no, but it is because it's not a stop.
That is an AR pistol.
That's a pistol.
It's a pistol because he has the,
the brace instead of the no no no no the the length of it determines whether it's a pistol sure
not the brace if it is the brace does the brace because the brace is the way the law is written
the brace is what you put on a pistol and i understand right i'm saying that if you took an actual
long gun that doesn't qualify as an sbr and put a brace on the back of it sure sure it's it's not
but but the brace is a working around of putting a stock right i understand so i'm asking specifically
that's actually shorter.
I guess it would be without the can
that's under 15 inches.
Yeah, that's like a 10 and a half,
probably 11 and a half
with a six inch can.
Right, the intention of those
is literally you're supposed to hold it
like a pistol.
In theory, that's supposed to go on your arm.
The braces is because some people have disabilities,
so they need a way to hold it,
but you can brace it against your shoulder.
And the minute he puts on a shoulder,
he is breaking the law.
Technically, yes.
Yeah, if you shoulder it.
I remember when,
was it during Biden,
they banned braces,
the ATF decided that braces were illegal.
And then I had to go through all of my guns for which I have like just so many.
And then detach all of the braces and separate them.
Otherwise, I was at risk of being a felon despite the fact no law had been passed.
So y'all want to play these games.
I don't care.
I'm not going to sit here and say, you can do whatever you want because you have rights.
And then you're going to point your gun at me and put me in a gulag.
Not only had there been no law passed, the ATF had multiple times said,
that a brace does not make a pistol into a short barrel rifle.
They had multiple decisions or, I don't know what they call it.
It's not decisions, but they release multiple guidelines and letters to people saying,
look, no, I personally waited about seven or eight years before I bought a brace because I was like they're going to,
and when they first came out, when the CIG brace came out, I was like, they're going to throw people in jail for that.
I got an idea.
Have you got, what are those things, Tensegriety, have you heard of these things?
Have you never seen these things?
Let me see if I can pull this up.
How do you how what is it a 10th? Is it a South Park episode?
No, no, no, no, no, come on.
Let me see if I can find a tense, tensegrity. Yeah, ten segriety. Yeah, yeah, I want to find a good one.
Here we go, here we go. I got an idea. Hi, I'm Xerxes from the Ontario Science Center.
Bangin. Have you ever seen one of them? We don't, we don't need to hear what you have to say.
So, look at this thing, right? That's cool. So it looks like it makes no sense. Like, how is it floating like that? Well, it's actually quite simple. This is hanging.
so it's being suspended and it can't topple over because this is being held down.
Make a brace like a tensegrity.
And then you're like, well, there's actually no connecting parts holding it together.
So therefore, I'm kidding.
Don't do that.
It's a joke.
No, but that like that would be funny though.
Just like just like just like just like going to understand.
Ian's like maybe use the law in every single way you can.
We should use the law.
But every single time that anyone on the left breaks the law, even the slightest
You throw the book in them.
I don't think prosecutorial discretion is super important.
And evil laws can be used to it's not.
I mean, I feel like you're not even listening to what the conversation is.
You use every law your discretion to prosecute your enemy.
Yeah, but I'm not saying no.
Sometimes you use discretion with with law and you don't prosecute.
Not when, not when you're in a literal fight for existence.
You know, you know, you're not.
You know, you're really.
You know, it would be really great.
You are.
Ian, it would be really great if you read about Catalonia.
What about it?
Have you read a bit?
Yeah, I mean, read about the efforts of the anarchist peoples and they think the way you do.
And do you know what happened to them?
What's the reference here?
This is the Spanish Catalonia Revolution or something?
Yeah, they're hippie-diffy do unto others people and they were crushed every single time.
And it still happens to this day where they get crushed by the government.
Because people who play the game of slow down there, let's have a conversation, get crushed every time.
Imagine having a city and like someone comes to you and goes,
Genghis Khan is coming to our city.
What do we do?
And you're like, hold on.
We got to think about this clearly and not go overboard.
And you go, okay, well, he's got advanced spies coming in and stealing our weapons.
And you go, well, can we prove it?
They're like, the guy's running away right now.
Well, we don't know what he's running for.
We got to make sure we treat these people fairly and equally.
And then you just an hour later, he runs in and massacres you.
You know, the civilian mind is different than a military mind.
I'm not in a military mindset. I'm in a military mindset.
Okay, and I have a question.
A guy breaks into your house.
He breaks into your house.
And he's screaming, oh, I'm here to kill Ian Crossland.
Are you going to be like, well, you know, he's allowed to have guns.
I better not use the law against them.
No, I would use the law my own.
Why in that circumstance, but not in the macro?
Why in the micro, not in the macro?
This guy, bro.
What do you mean exactly?
It's a weird question.
What do you mean?
No, so my point is that when it affects you,
You personally, you have no problem saying I'll use the law against you.
If someone breaks into someone's house in a state where you can shoot them, then that's,
you have to defend your, your territory.
You have to defend your life.
You have a duty to, okay?
What if, what if foreigners who want to murder your whole people break into your country
with weapons threatening to kill you?
Do you have to defend them?
You have a duty as the military to defend the country, yes.
Okay, so that's happening right now.
But that's, we're talking about a dude standing outside.
Who's he defending?
Practicing as.
Who's he defending?
What's the purpose of his gun?
No, he's not defending himself.
You don't have to claim a defendant to issue your Second Amendment right.
No, but what is he doing?
He's defending the immigrant community.
That's what he's doing.
I mean, he's just standing.
I don't know what he was doing.
I saw a picture of him standing there with a rifle pointed at the ground.
Why, Ian, why is that guy outside?
To show ICE that he's, that there's an armed people waiting.
And what is ICE doing?
Throwing people out of the country.
Arresting people who should not be here, criminals, rapist, illegal immigrants in general.
And that guy's attempting to intimidate them.
Well, so now let's try again.
Someone breaks into your house and screams.
Me walking around with my rifle out is not intimidating.
You just said that was his intention.
I don't know.
His intention was to show ICE that there's a militia.
That's not an intimidation.
I should know that there's a militia.
I think that's intimidation.
Let's try this.
A guy breaks into your house screaming, I'm here to kill Ian Crossland.
And then another guy shows up and says, look, I'm not here to kill Ian.
I just have a gun pointed at him.
Should you use the law against him, too?
You defend.
If someone's pointing a gun at you, you have a right to defend yourself.
essentially. My point is when like we've had conversations like this so often where when the issue
comes to you personally, you have no problem being like, well, of course, that's why you would do it.
And when the issue comes to the betterment of the country and the laws and our constitution,
you're just like, now, let the bad guys do whatever they want.
As I'm sitting here listening to you guys, I just hear Democrats having this exact same conversation
about people like you is what I hear. And? And so don't become the enemy you're trying to destroy.
Don't become the demon. Let them, let them destroy you. No. Why would you ever let someone destroy you?
It's literally what you're talking about.
You're talking about arresting the guy here.
You just said that we weren't in an existential conflict.
I did not utter those words, Phil.
You said, Phil, you're sitting here in a podcast.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so my-
My point was-
Existential means.
Ian, is my life under threat right now?
I can't, doesn't look like it.
You would be incorrect.
Why am I in this building?
All of our lives are constantly under threat.
It's the world.
You know, doesn't Russia have nukes pointed out of our country?
Ian, why are we in Florida?
Setting up, I know, setting up a new shot, you know, looking for...
Why are we trying to look for something new?
Because we're running an entertainment company.
We need security.
You wanted to be closer to the world.
What happened that made us do that, Ian?
People, obsessive people, come and say, hey, we want in.
A thing happened.
Say it.
The people shot a gun outside the studio.
People shot three rounds at our studio.
They're trying to kill us.
Me in particular.
But that doesn't mean to go around stripping people of their rights.
their right to what to carry a weapon outside that said that was fine well that's what
if the intention is to intimidate our duly appointed law enforcement we say no we don't tolerate people
who are trying to destroy us but we don't know like i said if he breaks the law throw the book at him
and then you're like no judges have deference blah blah i didn't say just throw him in jail for no reason
i said if he breaks the law throw the book at right and and that is the same argument they use on january 6th
So now you're just moving-
This is just the, oh, well, we have to give up
because the other side is me.
I would never say give up.
You are literally just saying that.
My response to your, but they think the same thing is,
duh.
The hat feels in the McCoys.
Do you think one side was justified, the other wasn't?
They're just feuding.
That's reality.
Who's right in any grand conflict?
Let's talk about like Korea versus Japan.
Who is morally justified?
I don't know.
Exactly.
There's a dispute between people,
sometimes as aggressors, sometimes it's ideological, sometimes it's resource driven. But all that matters
is right now in this country, there are two political moral philosophies both say the other is the bad
guy. And you know what? We are correct. And they say the exact same thing. But I know that we're correct
because we fact check these things and they don't. Now some of them may, but they lie all the time.
They lie about everything. I'll give them some credit on the one screen two movies with Renee.
good. But you take a look at J6. You take a look at Don Lemon and what's going out with Don Lemon.
On January 6, you had rioters. I have no problem telling the world the rioters should go to prison.
You beat a cop, you go to jail. And they did. I think three years was fair. They was actually a little
bit long. So a commutation and a pardon for their 20 year sentences does make sense. Do the liberals
say anything like that? No. They say the innocent people who showed up after the riot,
walking onto public land,
they had no idea was closed,
the public and the doors were open,
should go to prison
because they're evil insurrectionists.
They say that Owen Schroier,
who never went in the building,
should go to prison.
They say that Brandon Strach,
who never went in the building,
should go to prison
because they don't care,
they don't fact check,
and they want to destroy us.
You just said people
that went into that church
should all go to prison for 10 years.
Yeah.
Yeah, when one side decide,
so are you familiar with game theory?
Yeah.
Okay. Tell me more about it. So Prisoner's Dilemma, right? You have to have a, you have to have two people cooperating or as soon as someone defects, you have to defect in order to keep the equilibrium. The only way you ever keep equilibrium inside a system is to have one, is to have a, to make sure that you have a reciprocal strategy. If you have once I say, okay, we're sending people to people to prison for 30 years who weren't even in J6, who weren't even in the area. And then when they do something similar and you don't push back, you're, you're going to, you're going to prison for 30 years, you're in, you're in, you're in prison for 30 years, you're not. You're
You don't give them a reciprocal pushback.
They will just continue that strategy of defecting infinitely
because there's no incentive for them to stop.
What you're suggesting is they get to defect infinitely
and we always have to cooperate.
How does that game end?
Well, I don't think that either is justified.
I'm not justified.
I'm talking about strategy.
The game ends with de-escalation.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
The way I said it isn't the right answer.
Ian, how's the game in?
Let's try again.
Here's the question.
If they are putting J-Sixers in prison for 20 years,
even people who didn't go in the building, and we don't put them in prison when they violate the Klan Act or the Face Act, what is the next logic, what's the logical conclusion to that kind of system?
There would be multiple possible conclusions to that. One is the other side says, okay, then we're done. We're not going to do this anymore. Another side would be their like, they're weak. Now let's stop them into paste.
Agreed. And that's what they've been doing for the past 10 years. Why would they stop now? Honest question. Why would they stop now? They haven't stopped. They've escalated.
And who firstly, who's they?
Who, who?
I'm a genuine question.
Left moral worldview.
Disparate factions aligned with a multicultural democratic society, whereas we are the
constitutional Republican faction.
Most people don't want civil war.
They don't want.
What is that the truth we're talking about?
You said, why would they stop now?
They don't want.
The people who are roving around in Minneapolis beating pedestrians, pulling cars over,
they're pulling cars over.
They're stalking white people because they,
look like they might be ice and harassing them.
There's videos of them ripping a guy,
telling a guy screaming, take it off because he wore an American flag hoodie.
And then you have the storming of a church in violation of the law.
They're not stopping.
They've been escalating.
And this is, you still have the George Floyd Square in Minneapolis years later.
They caused billions of dollars in damage.
They firebom the White House grounds, set fire to St. John's Church.
And they mocked Trump.
When he tried, when he did disperse the crowd, they called them, Bunker Boy,
because he was brought into an emergency bunker.
Right now, what we have been witnessing is,
the right has done nothing but beg the system.
We voted in November because we are moral and just people to say,
we don't riot, we don't burn things down, we don't shoot people, we vote.
And then we did, and Trump's been somewhat ineffective domestically in this regard.
If we continue to allow Democrats to beat, murder, and terrorize,
and we do nothing, there is only one logical conclusion at this point.
point. We will be crushed into paste. So if the left is beating, murdering, and terrorizing,
are you suggesting the right should also do that? The right should use the law against these people
and put them in prison. Like I said, we do. We vote. We beg the system to deal with it. We don't go out.
We don't write. We don't shoot people. You suggested these people should not go to prison for storming
the church. I don't say that. I just said 10 years. I say now 10 years is excessive. Well, that's the
penalty isn't it that's the maximum i'm trying to remember the exact uh part of the of the act conspiracy against
rights yeah well that's what they're charge they're saying they're charging under the kkk act because
they said the face act is a little bit difficult because of the ingress and egress did you actually
block so it's easier to just go after conspiracy of rights though i think they'll also catch uh face
out violations yeah i don't i don't think 10 years is a good but i do think prison in general and
that means at least a year uh it is to do do the federal
statute 10 years. Yeah, it was 10 years. Yeah. The maximum penalty for Klanak is 10 years with aggravating
factors, it can be life, life in prison. And so now you have the state laws where they've enacted
these civil rights protections, you know, re-enshrined them, which religion is one of them. I say
live by the sword. We treat others as though as how they want to be treated. So if Democrats say,
we are going to protect against discrimination, we say, well, you stormed into a church. Religion is a
protected class and uh you lock them up those are their rules personally think that that's reasonable
i was putting myself in the in the heads of some of those churchgoers probably really thought they were
about the only matters ultimately in the end is that i think it is obvious to everybody watching the
show that democrats think they're right and they're justified the difference is the moral framework
they use which is the point of bringing this up do we believe in the second amendment is it universal
it's certainly not universal the second amendment applies to good americans who believe in the constitution
those who would subvert it, like these people are.
So we can frame it like this.
The American people are all holding hands,
singing songs under a rainbow.
When the British return!
My God, it's Revolutionary War 2.0.
A bunch of British people land with U-boats
crashing into the shores of California
for some reason in the Pacific.
There was a flanked attack,
and they say,
we're taking this land back for the crown
and they pull out guns.
Are we going to be like,
well, they have a right to keep them bare arms?
Are we going to be like enemy invaders, put them down?
That's completely unrealistic.
They'd be like,
Saar, we are here?
Of course, we don't give our enemy, you know,
foreign invasion.
Zohan Mamdani's campaign said that he was intentionally going to protect non-citizens
from federal law enforcement that were duly appointed by the duly elected American government.
That is insurrection.
He announced it.
He went on the view and said he wants to abolish ICE.
This is an individual not from this country,
later did gain citizenship, threatening the people who democratically elected a Congress, a president,
who then appointed and the Senate confirmed a Supreme Court. And these people are saying,
your laws be damned, we'll do what we want. And one of these guys is walking around with a gun.
And we go, drat. He's used our own rules against us. Well, I say that brace could be a federal offense.
I'm not going to give you any, I'm not going to give you any leeway here, no benefit of the doubt.
you live look now i'm not going to rag on the leftist who do believe in owning guns but for the liberals
who have tried to ban them like they're doing right now in virginia making it harder to buy guns
why would i give these people an inch i'm going to be like nah you live the way you you
you want and you support the people that want to take guns away so i say you get what you want
when ising the 101st down to the south to march people into schools by bandette to break
uh you know segregation there went a bunch weren't a bunch of southerners sitting there with their guns
them, you know, laying them on their arm and staring at the 101st airborne.
That's not how it went down.
And if they had, they would have learned a lesson real quick.
It's not like there's some kind of lack of precedent here.
Let's jump to the story where things are getting a little spicy.
We've got this from Newsweek.
Speedway faces boycott calls after ICE agents kicked out of gas station.
Social media users are alleging that Border Patrol commander Greg Bevino and other federal agents were denied service at a Speedway in Minnesota.
Self-described journalist.
Self-described?
Come on, Newsweek.
Cam Higby, run an accident on Wednesday. Border Patrol Commander Greg Bevino denied service.
I do believe we actually have the video here.
And I think this is the Speedway video.
Yeah, it looks like it.
And they actually threw food at them.
So I'm not sure anybody should get charged for throwing Doritos at a guy.
But I do think that Speedway should issue a statement saying,
we do not want to have anything to do with this.
That's it.
That Hampton Inn learned their lesson.
Just kind of loose.
You see the sign getting pulled down?
Yeah, literally.
Yeah, literally, like it was the changing of the guard.
It was like when the British left Hong Kong.
It was really right.
Yeah, this is the left.
They don't want Bovino to get his hands on like any Zen.
Because you know, like, he would lock in,
be like 20 million deported by like probably the end of the year.
Just immediately get Chad's out.
Yeah, literally.
So like the left, this is a very tactical play.
I would say this is probably their most genius play yet,
is preventing Bovino from getting his, you know, getting his paws on like a white monster.
I mean, it would be so over for every illegal.
Like they'd be gone.
That's right.
That's the Gen Z.
perspective on why they stopped them. Yeah, that's
exactly what's going on. That's the game. I know Oron's
going to be like, oh, like the South, the
18th, that's not what's going on.
That's absolutely what it is. They're trying to get his mitts off the secret
sauce. You know what you know what it was?
It's because he want, you ever get those tornadoes
at Speedway? No. You know what those are?
Yeah, and they got the spicy
cheese one. They knew that
once he took one bite, it was going to be the
John Hand meme where he's just like,
turn the lights up where that song is.
They can't have them. It'll be like in space
Jimmy bites into that roller dog and then like when they get their, the Michael's secret sauce and they just like load up. That's what would happen.
I got to go to the bathroom. I mean, we got Wawa in Florida now, so we don't have to live like that anymore. You know, like we got all the best.
We should be aristocratic. There's been some talks on the right. Maybe like more like aristocratic things. Maybe we should go for like, yeah, 7-11.
Should we boycott Speedway? Yeah. Yeah. Wawa nationalism. Should we boycott Wawa on it?
Yeah. Dude, waha is so good.
I'm going to say it's absurdly good for being gas station food. Yeah, right?
Should we boycott Speedway?
What was Speedway's...
Got to boycott something?
What was Speedway's recourse?
Were they like abetting this?
Or was just people showed up at a Speedway and stopped?
I mean,
Speedway doesn't have like agents.
Apparently the Speedway said you guys have to leave and then...
Well, that's the case.
I mean, it's easy.
I don't go there anyway.
Boycott, I've been boycotting for years.
I knew this would happen.
I was already...
I'm Gen Z.
Yeah, literally.
Hypertition.
I was already boycotting.
I didn't...
I've been doing this for years.
It's called killer instinct.
I knew they were patriots.
I could feel it.
Yeah, I can just sense it.
It's like I have like a patriot detection.
I could just smell it when I passed a Speedway.
I knew it.
Yeah, I walked in one time there were no white monsters in the case.
I knew it was up.
Yes, sir.
We only have three milligram.
Scumbags your boycotted.
I'm looking up who owns Speedway.
I want to see who stocks taking a hit right now.
Potow.
Probably this one.
Owned by 711.
Let me get.
Really?
They're Japanese.
What?
What?
Oh, the Japanese.
They want to go again?
They want to go again?
We got a few more nukes sitting around.
A few more.
That's an understatement.
Yeah, it was acquired in 21 for $21 for $21 billion by $711.
$21 billion.
It's like three tanks of gas in California.
And the Japanese bought out 711 a while ago.
Japanese 711s are something to behold,
and they make American 711 look like outhouses.
That's what really radicalize me.
It was going to like a 7-Eleven in Japan
and seeing like, oh, this is what society is supposed to look like.
Everyone's floating around, like they're immortal.
They're all bound to you.
Yeah, they have replicators.
You can just be like...
Is this mean we need to like...
T, Earl Grey, Hot and...
Does this mean we have to like tariff Japan
until they bring us their 7-Eleven staff.
Like, sorry, you have to turn it all over.
Culture matters.
We will never have Japanese 7-Elevens in America.
The thing about Japan is that it's a high-trust society.
It's an ethnic state.
It's right.
But they started bringing in, you know, Indians and African migrants for some reason.
Why did they do that?
No, because they're not having babies.
Right, right.
Yeah.
7-Eleven is owned by 7-E-Holdings.
It is a Japanese company.
It's Japanese.
Yeah.
You know how mad I was when I got to Tokyo
when I saw like Indian people?
I was like, no!
No, it's not like the cartoons!
It's like when you show up to Paris now
and it's all just, you know, in Arabic
or Farsi or something.
My immersion! My immersion! No, you're not supposed to be here.
I think the funniest thing about Japan
when I got there was that
they don't have like Brad Pitt
you know, like Robert Downey Jr.
They have Goku and Lupon
the 3rd and like Naruto.
And like, I see a big billboard cut out of
Goku.
who is like at this point a 40-year-old cartoon character.
And I'm like, I guess it's kind of like Mickey Mouse.
But you know what I respect about the Japanese people
is that the cartoons we've propped up for generations
are retarded.
And the cartoons they prop up are the most brutal
like they beat the shit out of each other
and they're just fighting all the time.
You know, I like that.
They are obsessed with Snoopy when I was over there.
What really?
Oh, they're like glazing him big time.
To be fair, he is a war hero.
Oh, you know, that's true.
World War II.
World War I was right.
Yeah, he fought the Red Baron.
Yeah.
Very impressive.
Many sword is over, you know, Charlie Boundt.
Oh, and it goes to Kiev.
Okay, yeah.
How about Snoopy?
Yeah, exactly.
His KDR was crazy.
He was like kill streaks, like UAV and that sort of thing.
I need Sam Hyde as Snoopy as, you know, World One flying.
Really go deep, yeah.
I guess like the story again, Speedway.
No, the bigger picture here is that they're roving bands of leftists.
Apparently people were saying that this mob was just following him around screaming for hours.
Okay, so probably he went in there and maybe even to get away from these people.
And then people followed them in and seven levels like, oh my God, everybody out.
Everybody out.
Maybe that would happen.
I don't know.
Well, still, kick out the agitators, not the victim.
Yeah.
Put the agitators in jail.
Yeah.
We don't want to take sides.
And you're like, bro, you have a building in the United States.
You've already taken a side.
Like, defend the law.
It'd be funny.
Like, Japan is just like, we don't have anything to do with this.
We're out.
They sell the company.
Japan's Pearl Harbor is the Speedway.
I mean, I do appreciate.
that we occupied Japan for so long that they took on both our sports and like our Western.
Like it's the old Japan like they have people who are obsessed like like webes in the United States
but with like American Western culture like they have revolvers and they put on like yeah
the shooting competitions.
You know they have I think it's like it what is it?
What is it called in Thailand?
Really?
Yeah.
Did you guys ever fall like Odunobunaga, the Japanese war war war?
Yeah. ketchup fried rice.
Let me look real quick.
So what happened was when the US troops were stationed there, I think it was world.
World War II, the troops were like, we want hot dogs, and they didn't have buns because they
had no bread.
So they made a bed of rice and put a hot dog on it and ketchup.
And so that's how they would eat their hot dogs.
We honey boo-booed the system there.
And now I went to Thailand and they were like, you try the ketchup fried rice, and they
were like, it's rice, ketchup, hot dogs, and raisins.
And I was like, that's the worst thing I've ever heard.
Yeah.
I love it.
They had me until raisins.
That's struggle food.
Apparently it's Japan, similarly as well.
Well, that's like, a lot of East Asia, they're like these weird holdovers from World War II
where the people are just, like, they have the John From Colt and like all these Pacific Islands
where the GIs would drop like care packages, these random islands.
Oh, yeah, the cargo cults.
Yeah, the cargo Colts, yeah.
So those are wild.
They thought it was God.
Like, so they built plain effigies.
Yeah, yeah, to summon it again, yeah.
I mean, how fun would that be to be in one of those?
Oh, man.
That's how why they're like...
You see a white guy and just get hyped up.
When they're like, see this was a guy, I feel like he was bringing the cargo call.
You could just bring the most like random white dude and just like be a king.
Now, what if I told you your cargo cult was the Constitution?
Oh, snap.
Our cargo cold is Amazon.
What?
That was the bait and switch.
That was the MOT?
No, more that you can't.
You're trying to go through the motions to summon again, but you don't know how it works.
Yeah, I know.
So we're going to digital age now.
The internet obliterated liberalism, basically, with ideal ideologies and then mass migrations
with Facebook groups and all this crap.
I don't know what the future government's going to look like.
I don't want totalitarian, communistic technocrats.
which like World Economic Forum and China where they own the corporate,
but I don't want corporatocracy where the corporations are making their own governments.
What is your best idea of how it could be better?
Well, you're getting what has been called the China Convergence
because that's actually, it turns out that corporate fascism is the only way to operate government at large scale.
So all of your countries, no matter what they're kind of called themselves,
are basically slowly merging on this one institution, which is going to be corporate fascism.
So I wrote a book on it, Total State, if anybody wants more.
So the goal is to be in charge of one of these corporations to be king.
Well, I mean, when I say corporate fascism, I mean like the state operating.
We're all moving to the China model.
Like technically they're communists, but in actuality, it's just, it's actually just fascism.
Right.
And that's the only way you can actually manage information.
You can handle immigration at scale.
You can still have a market economy, but continue to have control over information.
But you need to have elections so people think they have an option.
And then they never win.
Absolutely.
And it's just like, but it was a vote, right?
Yeah, we have popular sovereignty as our legitimating things.
So we're going to go through the motions of that kind of stuff.
But we're all moving towards that same government system because it's the only thing that works at scale.
I don't like that.
I wish we would scale down governments.
But as long as we're moving towards larger scale governments, this is the only way we're going to go.
And the inverse is true about communism.
It works beautifully among 10 people.
Right.
I did that pause for suspense as I often do.
I started to believe it.
10 people living on a farm, it's really easy to have a commune.
The joke I was making is the one guy walks in and he goes,
hey, everybody, my watermelons are ready.
I grew watermelons, you want to have some?
Yeah, okay.
And they share watermelon.
Your payment is the vasopressin that you release when you help people.
Yes.
Vasopressin, it's kind of like oxytocin.
I think the reality is when you grow watermelon in your backyard,
you grow more than you need.
So you go inside and say, hey, who wants to have some watermelon?
And then someone else is like, ah, it's messing here.
I'm going to clean up.
It's real easy.
Or the other argument is that a family is a communist, right?
The dad's effectively the dictator and, you know, he provides and whatever and everyone gets what they need.
Regardless of the chores, you might get an allowance.
At small scale, communism is fantastic.
At large scale, it's psychotic.
So I agree corporate fascism seems like the model, the horrific, would it be like all of our constitution is just out the window?
Like, no more free speech.
If you say the words that our corporation doesn't like, you're banned for every.
can't have a bank account, we'll starve you out. Do you see that as part of this? How is that not what you're under?
Yeah. Well, now that's a level of tax credit control. Let me put it like this. Here's my, here's my
vision of an AI future. So just a moment ago, you were describing corporate fascism as the
structure of governance that works at scale. Nothing else seems to do it. My view of what is currently
happening with AI is that human beings are turning from sovereign entities into cells in a multicellular
organism as one to describe it. That is, we are building from a multicellular organism into a
multicellular organism system. This system, the AI, will program people to do singular jobs.
A person will be born. They will be narrative fed the idea that the post is the greatest job in
the world. And they're going to grow up with other kids being trained to be postal workers.
And they're going to feel pride and joy when people celebrate their postal prowess.
And then when they're older working the job, they're going to be like, can you believe there's
anybody who wants to do any other job?
Like, who wants to be in a movie?
That's crazy.
I got the best job in the world.
And so the AI will need us to be like that.
Now, what happens in a human body when I sell deviates from its intended function and does something else?
Gets killed by the...
Cancer.
So in this future system, when you have a corporate machine, so Ian was describing, you don't have no free speech, what will happen?
Right.
the nucleus of the corporate corporatist fascistic machine says, are you disruptive or are you negligible?
Even right now, we are all chockful of viruses our bodies don't really care about.
It's a normal thing, actually.
So long as the virus doesn't cause serious damage, your body kind of ignores them.
So we get a lot.
Some theorized that humans actually evolved because viruses went in the system, changed things,
and stayed there and did cause enough damage to actually destroy the system and then put some of that RNA into our DNA or whatever it might be.
If you in this system, and this is how it is now, say things that are naughty or not really that disruptive, this system's not going to waste resources on you.
But when you cross a certain line, it'll come to destroy you like a cancer cell.
And I think that's what this machine is ultimately going to be.
Yeah, you definitely have these situations where the entire system is designed to socially engineer people to fill those spots.
It's not organic community for the sake of human flourishing.
its community and connection only to the extent which it serves the system, which is why I think
Nick Land is one of the most important philosophers working right now. I've had them on my channel
several times, but his point is ultimately that AI is going to outlive the need for human beings,
that basically we are the sex organs of capital, and we are creating autonomous, you know,
the autonomous systems that are just going to simply use and discard us at the end of the day.
And, you know, what you feel your goals as a human being doesn't really matter. You're being
entirely conditioned for no other reason to serve this accelerating technological progress.
You called it the system, and that does sound like how they say the party or the country.
Like that's Mussolini.
Sure.
That was this big fascist thing.
I think a religion of the state.
The left likes to say that the old world is dying and the new world is struggling to be born.
You've heard that before?
The new world is the machine.
The machine is desperately trying to make itself.
It's going to happen.
I think the greatest threat to mankind is AI.
I don't mean that to say that humans are going to go extinct.
Some actually believe one of the most popular theories is that this will ultimately lead to the end of humanity.
But it will fundamentally change us into weird, I don't know, functional retards.
And I don't mean that, I mean that literally like the AI has no reason for us to be fully fledged functional human beings.
It needs us for a rudimentary task.
Yeah, it might look like if we evolve.
a break off homo technist instead of them.
There's Homo sapiens.
They'll look at the technus and they'll be like, are they retarded?
Because people are plugged into the machine.
They won't need to speak.
They'll all be brain monitoring each other.
And they'll look like retarded humans to the humans.
And they'll be, what is wrong with those?
They'll be doing things.
They'll take, taking actions that are indecipherable to a human.
To a regular human, we see someone go to the grocery store.
We get it.
We see them walking with their wife and their child.
We get it.
We see them going to work.
We get it.
Hailing a taxi cab, riding a bike.
The machine is going to need people to do weird things that are incongruous
because we can't see the big picture.
And so these AI-linked humans,
you'll see them like walking on their hands
and then falling over and you're like,
what are they doing?
You can't perceive the bigger picture
of what the AI is calculating and producing.
Yeah, it's like seeing you tread on the shoes
at a certain angle at a certain time of day
and everyone knows like, what the fuck?
Data.
The machine wants the data.
C.S. Lewis wrote a phenomenal essay
called The Abolition of Man back in the 1940s.
And basically he said,
he predicted that we were going to see
the social engineers learned to radically unchange the underlying parts of human nature. And after they
learn to eventually work all of those different elements out of human nature, we will have effectively
abolished man because the last generation to have any connection to organic human understanding will be
completely gone. That's why it's so critical for us to understand things in states of being and
not just systems anymore. We have to struggle back for humanity. We have to fight back against
the idea that we can just become these automaton. And the only way to do that is reconnect to actual
ways of being rather than abstract understandings of ideologies or systems. And that's really
something that requires us to scale down, which is what nobody wants to do. Well, like, what would that
look like exactly? It would mean reducing the size of our civilizations to ones in which we can
actually interact. Where Dunbar's number matters again, where people aren't just digits on a screen
or social media interactions, and we can actually build organic understandings of each other.
But again, right now, more and more, all of our interactions are entirely abstract. Of course,
we saw this, especially after COVID, you just didn't even see human beings, right?
Everything was Netflix or screens or whatever, and people are continuing to retreat more and more
in this way.
Dude, I'm getting, when I look at X, I'm like, fake, probably fake, probably fake.
I don't know what to believe.
I was asking, I don't know if it was Tate, surge, somebody.
I'm like, what, or maybe this Kellen was like the antidote is like just hanging out
with people.
Yeah, we have a shattered epistemology.
We have no shared understanding of like how to form truth, how to understand the world
around us and the only way to reforge that is seeing each other in real life again having real
experiences not trying to abstract things not try to remove things actually be with people in and this
is why the great sort is also so important it returns us back to the possibility of having shared
communities again i wonder if you know how you're in a dream state people say they can't read in
dreams that when you look at the letters it'll be like it won't be real and that's how you know
you're in a dream is if the clock looks where and like that dmt laser experiment shows those weird
shapes like dream letters when when people think they're going to be communicating with real people
in the they're going to be stuck in the machine thinking it's real look for those words look for
the little indiscrepancies in the letters and the vows and shit to realize that you're in the
machine and then squeeze your eyes really tight until it hurts and that pain will wake you up you can
do it in actual dreams too if you're ever in a nightmare you want out close your eyes as tight as
you can in the nightmare and as soon as it starts to hurt you'll realize you're awake yeah
Yeah.
Seas Lewis was like alarmingly accurate.
Yes.
Alaringly accurate.
I had the craziest dream the other night.
Kid you not.
I had a dream that I was talking to someone about Green Day, the band,
and how I love that song.
What is it?
Blood, Sex, and Booze.
You know that one?
And then in my dream, I pulled up Spotify and it wouldn't come up.
And then I was like, where's the song?
And then I Googled it.
And it didn't come up.
And then I was like desperately telling people like,
this song is real.
I swear to God.
I started singing it, and they're like, I don't know what song that is.
And I was like, hold on.
And then no matter how many websites I searched, the song didn't exist.
And I kid you.
I woke up and I was like, why was I dreaming about that song from the year 2000?
That's so weird.
I like that song.
And then I looked it up and there it was.
Yeah.
I just Googled it.
Yeah.
That's a weird dream.
That's like forgetting my lines before a play.
That was like my stress.
That's like a version of a stress stream where like you lose the information.
I haven't heard that song in 20 years.
It's a weird dream.
I just saw some Green Day.
couple days ago. I wonder if it was the day you had a dream. You know what dreams are? I can't
know. You're seeing other dimensions. Okay. If the multiverse is real, we're not imagining
stories. We're seeing into other realities. He's like winding a clock. A lucid dream. When you realize
you're in a dream, you start to, you think words instead of say them because your body's obviously
can't move. You think whatever you want. He walks, Donald Trump walks in the room and then it happens.
So I wonder if you're controlling other realities with your lucidity.
If the multiverse exists and every possible universe exists, we are not imagining and creating
ideas, energy can't be created or extraordinarily changed.
We are perceiving existing realities and writing them down.
That means there's a universe where there's a Spider-Man.
I mean, that's actually true if the universe that we exist in is eternally, eventually,
no matter how remote the possibilities are,
whatever will happen.
But again, if energy cannot be created,
then what is the system in our minds
that imagines a Batman?
Yeah, it's like a transmutation.
It's putting energy internally,
which is twisting helixing back out
and then coming back into the black hole that we're in.
So you are, I think that's how you're creating external.
I'm saying Batman's real.
Yeah, I'm agreeing with you.
Yeah.
Somebody created it.
No, they didn't.
They saw it.
Bob Kane, Pier.
into the other universe?
Yeah, I've seen
where the...
Well, what happened
was he was working with
scientists who invented a machine
that allowed him to rip open
the time space continuum
and his daughter's pinky
got stuck and when it closed
it cut her pinky off.
I'm glad we're all going to buy a shotgun
and I was literally just to get to say
so you discovered the music
through a tear in reality
we were just going to get into that.
And then for those that don't know
basically because she existed
multiple realities she can pull open
tears in the space time continuum.
Fun game. Not as good
because they got rid of
of the injections, the plasmids with a soda pop.
That's woke.
OG, Biosha, I know, seriously.
Utter woke nonsense.
You should play it, though.
You should play...
I don't even know what to do.
Bioshock Infinite is basic.
So, it's a fun game.
Check it out.
Bioshock is one of the greatest pieces of human art ever created.
For those that haven't played it, it's an old game, but you must.
It's basically, it's a game built on the theme of, like, Atlas shrugged.
And a bunch of rich people build a city underground because,
I'm sorry, underwater, because they're like, you know, we're going to go do whatever we want.
And then because there's lax rules and anybody can just do what the market wants,
they start genetically splicing themselves, which collapses society because everyone's all messed up.
And then you get there and you're like, I can inject myself and then you can, like, throw fireballs or whatever weird stuff happens.
It's pretty cool.
In Bioschuk Infinite, the theme is American exceptionalism.
So you're in an alternate reality where there's flying cities.
And when they invented these flying cities, they went over and shut down the box of rebellion and just bombed the crap out of China.
I recommend it.
It's a fun game.
It's interesting take on...
I mean, Ken Levine really hates America and white people, so you get that too.
But, yeah, they're pretty fun games.
Is he the developer?
Yeah, he was the original.
But, Bioshock, the first one.
The first one's a masterpiece.
My best piece.
You fight Atlas.
Literally the final boss is Atlas.
Dude, I just want to...
It's the Atlas from the cover of the book.
Shout out to Blur in the YouTube chat with a Bioshock Normie Slop.
That was for you, I think, Tate.
I love Normie Slop.
And that's why I would say all the time, would you kindly smash the love.
button so true you know what oh would you mention the yeah the references the
character is compelled to take any action when the person says spoiler alert I
mean the game's what 26 years old when the guy whenever he prefaces his
request with would you kindly he's compelled to take the action what
awesome game it's not even that art either the second one's actually pretty
good too I never I started it and didn't get into it it's not it's actually pretty
good if yeah all right I try to play by a shark in the hardest difficulties I'm like I
I want to play the best game on the hardest difficulty.
I couldn't even beat the first level.
It's scaling back, but sorry.
Book a catch.
Yeah, it's free.
That's, that's a bunch of it.
You were going to ask Orne a badass question.
Yeah, I was just soying out because you mentioned the abolition of man.
Because like, oh, I guess that's crazy in there is how he literally predicts, like, gene editing.
The abolition of man is one of the best sci-fi books ever written.
Everyone's like, oh, it's 1984.
No, it's Brave New World.
No, it's the abolition.
Or that he's strength is the...
He literally outlines, like, how the elite books.
are going to engage in gene editing and like embryo modification.
He literally like discusses transgenderism like as we see it.
He pretty the best thing.
So he wrote the essay and then he novelized it into a sci-fi book called That Hidious Strength.
Yeah.
And that hideous strength is one of the most prophetic things you've ever seen because it's all
about how these small deaths like it's, if everyone betrays people because they lie,
the media is lying, the academics are lying.
It just shows you that the totalitarianism doesn't come necessarily just because of jackboots
and Hitler and Stalin and all this stuff.
It comes from the small tyranny of weak men.
And that's the beauty of the Hei's strength.
It's not this macro story of a deep fascistic government.
It's the way in which these small violations of God and nature's law ultimately bring you to this weak in state and create the situation we're in right now.
I have no choice but to jump to this next story.
Oh, snap.
This is from The Guardian breaking.
Colin Hay strenuously disapproves use of down,
at March for Australia rallies.
Former men at work frontman
who was born in Scotland,
an emigrated Australia tells anti-immigration protesters,
go write your own song,
leave mine alone.
So March for Australia was,
what is it, August and October.
They aimed to protest,
discontent towards perceived mass immigration in Australia.
Apparently they played down under
and they say in a post on Facebook
and Instagram accounts,
the singer-songwriter singled out anti-immigration groups,
March for Australia.
Our national identity,
under the slogan,
our national identity will not be erased.
I'm most strenuously disapproved
of any unauthorized, unlicensed use of Down Under
for any March for Australia events.
Down Under, a song I co-wrote
does not belong to those who attempt to sow xenophobia
within the fabric of our great land, our great people.
Down Under is ultimately a song of celebration.
It's for pluralism and inclusion,
unity, not division.
I gotta be honest.
The song's actually super racist.
Yeah, literally.
I'm not even kidding.
And I love men at work.
They are the greatest band of this or any generation.
in the 80s were the greatest decade in the history of humanity.
So I'm a huge fan of Colin Hay.
But I actually think, like, let me pull the lyrics up.
You know, I'm surprised they didn't cancel him.
Have you heard any of his solo work?
Because it's actually really good.
Like overkill's an amazing song.
Oh, of course.
But that was meant of work.
No, did they do that one?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Of course.
Let me, let me just show you the lyrics to this song.
Traveling in a fried out combie on a hippie trail head full of
zombie. I met a strange lady. She made me nervous. Blah, blah, blah. It's not so bad.
Winne Brussels. There's a guy. But the last verse is a denin Bombay with a slack jaw.
Are you trying to tempt me because I'll come from the land of plenty? I mean, clearly there's
xenophobia in there talking about the other cultures that are trying to take from his...
Let me just stress this again. Are you trying to tempt me because I come from the land of plenty?
Basically, in a denin Bombay, someone's trying to tempt him because his country is more, you know,
I'm half kidding, but come on. Let's not play stupid games. If you want to play stupid games, you'll play
stupid games. It's literally like when Liptards, like when the Venezuela invasion was going on and it was
super based, and we're using Fortune and sign and all the edits. And they're like, oh, that's actually
like a based anti-war song. I'm like, no, it means blackbagging Maduro now. And for the same
reason, sorry, land down under means like getting them out now. Let me let me. Death of the author.
We own this now. Do you come from a land down under where women glow and men plunder?
Right. And also Chunder. That second verse, where beer does flow and men chunder,
which interestingly, do you know what chunder means? I do Richie Jackson and enlighten me too.
And I believe...
Chunder means to vomit.
And the lore apparently is that on the boats,
they would yell, watch under.
Because if somebody was on the lower decks
looking at a window or whatever and someone barf,
they'd say, watch under, you're going to get barfed on.
And so they would hear Chunder.
You know what else I learned about pirates?
The reason they wore eye patches?
Not because they were blind.
It's because above deck.
It was so bright that when they would go under deck,
they moved the patch over and they could see.
Yep.
Look at that line there.
Do you speak of my language?
Because he's hearkening back to the original founding ethos of Australia,
which is this strong Anglo society.
He's saying English is my language.
Australia is just an extension of England.
And he's calling for like total Anglo supremacy,
which honestly is kind of pushing it for me.
Colin's a little crazy.
Colin is like totally out of line here.
I think the March for Australia,
they shouldn't use the song because he's a far-right extremist.
That's true.
Yeah, I mean, it makes them look, you know, like Nazis, to be honest.
It's really like really disturbing.
I mean, do you speak of my language?
That's so racist.
Oh, my God.
I'm offended.
That's what I liked about it, though.
Unbelievable.
No, yeah, again, reccon it, like, again, Fortunate Sun, though, is actually the based invasion
Neo-Con song now.
Same thing.
Men Down Under or Land Down Under is now the Patriot March in Australia.
And the March for Australia is coming up.
It's like next week, I think.
I am not kidding when I say that men at work are amazing.
They, like, amazing music, really great stuff.
I mean, Overkill is just one of the best songs.
I love that song.
Yeah, and Down Under, of course, is a legendary song.
But, you know, in all seriousness, I don't really think it's a racist song.
but it is from the perspective of white Australians and Scottish,
going to other places and treating these people like others
and referring to your land as the land of plenty.
So, listen, the people in Australia love the message you made,
and it resonates with them about the land where women glow and men plunder
and how it's a land of plenty and they don't want to give it away.
You know what I don't like is that people who,
the generations before us,
created a world and inspired a generation,
who then turn around and espouse these,
ideals and get yelled at for it. And a good example, with respect, Graham Linehan, who was a good dude,
and we had him on the show, and he's based, but he wasn't always. And when Count Dankula got arrested
for teaching his pug to do that stupid Roman salute, it's actually really funny, but to do,
the intention was to make the cutest little thing a pug, do something repugnant. And he got arrested
for it. Graham Linojan said that he thought that Count Dankula was just a, uh,
white supremacist who did something offensive,
but should go to jail for it.
What's really sad is that Father Ted,
the show that Graham had written,
had a bit where some Asians were coming to the church
and Father Ted,
there was a scuff on the window that was like a little black square.
And so he couldn't get it off.
And when the people,
the Asians are walking towards the church,
one of them goes,
he's not a fascist, calm down.
And they look up in the window,
and they see him waving and he's going like this.
And you can see the,
the mark over his, you know, mouth or whatever.
And then they're like, okay, and they turn around.
And then he goes, what, they're leaving?
Where are they going?
Why are they leaving?
And then they look in the window and you see him going,
that's a Nazi joke.
And what's sad about is that Count Dankula was probably inspired by this kind of humor.
Growing up watching this kind of comedy or South Park or whatever show,
he may have been watching.
So he's like, I'm going to do a joke too.
And then Graham Linneham himself, who wrote these jokes,
it's now cheering for him going to jail for it.
That's what I see with stuff like.
Now, with all respect to Graham,
he apologized.
He was like,
I was wrong.
I didn't even know.
I didn't realize they were lying to me.
This is what I see with this.
A story about what it means to be Australian.
And it's not overly racist,
but they're literally talking about this experience
of being Australian,
and it's inspired by him being in Australia
and how he talks about his country.
And there is a generation,
several generations that heard this song,
believe it in Love Australia.
And now you have mass immigration coming
and changing the culture
and face of this country and he's yelling at them.
Yeah, like these, these, uh, it was like funny to, I don't say this.
It's funny to be like racist in a, in like a colloquial, genial way with your friends
in the 80s and the night before the internet.
After the internet, not only are people getting bombarded with influxes of migration,
it's, it's the shaming coming from whatever, the machine itself or people denying you,
you know, revenue because you said the bad words.
So now all of a sudden it's, it's, it's,
not, you can't just get away with like, it was kind of normal like you'd invite your friend over,
you'd make fun of each other and then move on. And now it's like you get humiliated for doing it.
I feel like it's an op, like it's a foreign op to disrupt the American way.
Ian, those cultural differences used to be an ocean away and now it's like next door to you.
So that's why it became like suddenly like, oh, this is actually like an existential threat.
I mean, I think we all remember Colin Hay's song, you know, glorifying Rhodesia.
And so, you know, we have one like that.
And people are going to take cues.
You know, I think that's reasonable.
For real.
I like they talked about the slack jaw Indian dude in Bombay, probably on opium.
And he's like, what are you trying to tempt me with opium?
He's lying in a den.
Because I got money.
Exactly.
Like that, you know what?
I'm half joking.
I say it's racist, but that perception of these people, that's what they're complaining
about in Australia right now that you're mad about for them using your song.
And he, you know, Colin referred to it as xenophobic.
It's not xenophobic to want closed borders.
It has nothing to do with fear of others.
It's about overwhelming your system.
You can't do it.
You don't love you.
It's not loving your neighbors.
Sure.
The point of, whether it be xenophobic, racist, the point of those accusations is not that they
believe it.
It's to scare people into behaving a certain way.
It's not.
They don't care if you actually are xenophobic or not.
They don't care if you're actually racist.
There are plenty of people that say things.
They've burned it out.
And that's why Nick Fuentes doesn't care to tweet Team Hitler.
He's like, I don't care.
You've burned out the insult.
Right, or the tactic.
And also xenophobic, I'm not afraid of xenos.
I don't even know what a zeno is.
I just want the migrants out.
I think those are the bad guys from Super Metroid.
I was going to say, we have to, yeah, we have to, no.
Is that the etymology from Super Metroid?
Yeah, absolutely.
From the Greek or Super Metroid, one of the two.
Zeno meaning other?
I'm not sure.
Is that what it is?
Oh, well, I'm not alien.
Entrified of others.
Yeah, scary.
You are.
So you're not a xenophile.
I thought maybe you would be.
Well, you know.
Depends love you love the unknown well I guess the Metsroids are the bad guys in
Metroid the zeno morse or alien oh Zenomorph there you go alien not
metriot zeno more mother bane but of course they're ripping off alien so it's six
of one half dozen the other okay fascinating I'm a big fan of Zenos just in general
but yeah too many of them you know yeah destroy any system a little Zeno goes a long
way I'm kind of zenoed out at this point actually yeah you get one face hugger
and it ruins the part yeah that's a good that's a good way to put it yeah
and then if the guy doesn't speak English space pirates
those are the bad guys. Ridley
mother brain. Well, Ridley's the big
vulture looking at the thing. Yeah.
Oh yeah, Ridley. And the ex-parasites.
Who are those other two dudes? You've got to fight. They got the quills.
I don't know. And then Ridley's? Oh, the birds. Oh, Raven Beacon.
And this is who's coming into Australia. I know one of they're terrified.
Yeah. I mean, geez.
They're importing super villains.
Can we at least get the sweet Sammis armor out of this?
Yeah, that could be a good cultural issue.
Can you upgrade that at the game? I mean, the reveal at the end is she's a hot chicken and bikini.
in the first one.
So that makes sense for Australia.
No, no, didn't you hear?
She's trans.
Oh, have they done that now?
Because...
I hate 2026.
What happened was when they were doing...
When all the trans investigations were going viral,
people were like, think about it.
Samus is 6'3, weighing 200 pounds.
Like, that's how Samus is described.
And then takes off the helmet,
and it looks like a woman, trans woman.
Or WMBA player.
Yeah.
If you want to play as the hot trans woman,
type in Justin Bailey is the password
when you play Metroid 1,
and you'll get to play as her.
Him, her, whatever you want to call her?
With no suit on?
Yeah.
But does she, like, roll into a ball
and somersault around?
Yeah, that's weird.
Pointy knees compared to...
Ian loves pointing knees.
And you start with the wave gun.
It's awesome.
Some good knees?
Dude, fire knees, dude.
Like, watch out.
Andrew Tate.
Did they make a game
where you actually play as Sammis,
the Zero suit, Samus?
I only ever played Metroid War, I don't know.
Yeah.
Super Metro's in Smash Brothers.
I just know Samus from Smash Brothers, yeah.
Yeah, that's her.
Yeah.
There you go.
And then they were like, it's funny because they were like, Samis is trans, and I'm like, have you played Smash Brothers?
Samis is a woman.
Zero suit Samis isn't armor.
It's just, it's like a body suit.
It's her in just the body suit that she puts on before the, right.
Okay.
That's Justin Bailey gets you the zero suit.
Right.
That's probably what that is.
Smash Brothers.
Zero suit.
They were like, how do we say Sam's no suit on?
Zero suit?
Like, that's a dumb name.
Work harder, be more creative.
Zero suit.
No suit didn't shop very well.
Remember back in the day, do you guys remember Nesticle?
Yes.
Yeah, I had it.
It was an emulator for NES games.
Oh, yeah.
Nesticle.
Yeah, and G-Nest.
And you could go in and edit NES game sprites.
And people were making all sorts of different kind of Mario games.
It was hilarious.
I didn't know to do that on Nesticle.
Release in 1997.
Which one, Nesticle?
Yeah, Nesdickle.
It was such a must download for a smartphone.
Bro, I had the wildest game-boy emulator.
like when emulators were first coming out,
it was like a DOS program
and it was really hard to operate.
You'd get an adapter,
like plug the game into the back of your computer
and I'd never figure out how to get it to work.
What system?
What do you mean?
Game Boy.
Oh, is it a Game Boy?
Emuil, you put it into the Game Boy.
Interesting.
No, the Game Boy for your PC.
If you wanted to run Game Boy games,
the first emulators were just bonkers weird.
Nowadays, every game is on the web.
Like, legit, you can go to website
and they have every single NES game game.
Just play them.
Nice.
I have a main.
The future is here, bro.
That was the arcade emulator.
Dude, we already went over this in the past year
where I was programming video games
in real time during the show.
I made a video game called Alien Invaders
where it's basically like a bunch of...
The graphics are rudimentary,
so they're little rectangles.
Come down and they try to invade your space.
And you play this little triangle,
this little white triangle,
as the little brown rectangles
try to get into your planet.
It's called Alien Invaders.
and you have to stop them.
Weren't you guys building like a big game?
Remember you play testing at some point when I was here.
I forget.
Tim, for that game, you have 8-bit down under.
There you go.
It's so good.
Yeah.
You tune that?
Yeah, that'd be fantastic.
We do the video game.
It's called Normie Quest, and it was like,
there was one version that was done that my brother had programmed
that was basically a King of the Hill-style game
based on the Freedom Toons animations.
And then we had a functional version
of a procedurally generated near-infinite game.
near infinite game. The game was, you play Normie, and he works, he's a construction worker,
he's at the top of a skyscraper doing work, when all of a sudden his phone goes, and he looks down,
and it says, breaking, oh, no, no, I'm sorry, his phone was brim, and it says, reminder, 2 p.m.
Lil Timmy's baseball game, little league game, and he's like, well, I can't miss that.
And then his phone goes, bhrm, again, he looks at it, and it says, breaking, unarmed black man
killed by police, and he goes, no, my God. And he runs the edge of the skyscraper, and he looks down,
and there's like 15 million Antifa
just rampaging and riding in the city.
And then he's like, I can't miss my son's Little League game.
And when he turns around, the elevator opens up
and a bunch of Antifa jump out.
And he's like, oh no, it's Antifa.
But then one of them starts going and sparks flat
and their head falls off and their robots.
And he goes, oh, thank God they're robots.
Now I can be violent.
And then he punches in case of Antifa bright glass,
grabs a random weapon,
you know, randomly generated.
And the point of the game is to make your way down
the skyscraper and exit
the building fighting through Antifa and other
whackaloons to make it to your son's
Little League. It actually sounds wonderful.
Yeah, it was most, the structure was largely
done. We had a bunch of items and upgrades
and then, and the
people were kind of just stopped working on it. And then it just never
went anywhere. What was that, the Japanese
game where you have to fight like just tons of people
just hort, like comically large hordes of people?
I'm trying to remember.
There's a lot of it. There's a specific genre.
It's like the kingdom games or thing. Oh, right, right, right, right.
No, like, you're like, you're these Japanese heroes.
and you knock around just thousands of people at once.
Yeah, that's wrong.
There was a dynasty warriors.
That would be a great Antifa game.
You just have just thousands and thousands of like fat purple hair, you know,
and minions running at you and you're just knocking them around with your Patriot,
you know, shield or something like.
American flag.
Exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, with base flag stick man, you remember that guy?
Yeah, just have him clearing out, you know, just lines of Antifa.
You can summon your proud boys to like, you know, kind of.
The boss is just a Kia coming through.
Or you could play as in Antifa and do the same thing.
That way you double your sales.
I would never play that.
Yeah, right.
I come in at midnight, I see you.
Are you, you're like, oh, shit, no, no, no, come in.
No, it's porn, I swear.
Orrin, since you're here and you're like one of the smartest people,
what do you think is the most important thing to tell everybody?
What's the most, you're going to have to give me a slightly narrower field.
About the book, about corporate fascism, or just the future of humanity,
like how people can do better and preserve.
Sure.
Gets it down.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Neck that down a little bit.
No, I think the big thing is we're looking at post-human politics.
Like we're working, we're looking at politics that are run almost entirely in systems and entirely
disconnected from human needs and human understandings.
And when you have that, you start to see these agendas and these kind of like collective consciousness
moving through your political system, but you don't understand why.
You don't grasp at these machines, these abstract entities.
They're driving you more than you're driving them.
And so I think the key thing that people need to start, like we talked about,
people need to find ways to ground themselves back into human interaction and reality.
Because I think politics is only going to get more crazy.
It's only going to get more abstract.
It's only going to become less human.
And you need to find ways to remind yourself that actually you're doing this to interact with human beings,
that that's what the world's about, that that's what your life is about,
that's what your relationship with God is about.
I think that's what people have to prioritize.
Thanks, dude.
I was thinking about having kids while you were talking about that.
That would certainly be a great way to ground yourself.
There's nothing that's going to snap you into reality quicker than that.
Yep.
I love you, Phil.
I just had a kid, so, you know.
Your bias is showing.

I'm wondering like that I not get vitamins.
It's literally just water.

Right.
We got one of these things.
They're really awesome.
I'm a big fan.
Thank you for having these guys as a sponsor.
Thank them.
I mean, the floor out of the water is big.
Oh, man.
But we're on a well anyway, but there are trace residues and stuff.
And you can carry these around with you as you travel, which is phenomenal.
And then it remineralizes ice. It was just reverse osmosis, too. I haven't looked into it yet.
Super cool. All right. Let's see what you guys got going on.
Cheeseburger says disparaging things about James Lindsay and calls him, he calls him gay and retarded. That's what he said.
All right. Metal Joe says longtime Timcast member. I recently started a YouTube and Rumble discussing moral philosophy using topical subjects to do so.
The channel is The Moral Philosopher for anyone interested. Right on. Shout out.
What do we got here?
Force name change says,
Hey, cast crew,
I just want to offer a shout-up for my buddy and his wife,
welcoming their third daughter to this world at 805.
Your time.
Hello, baby, Judith, five pound, six-ounce girl.
Bravo.
Congratulations.
Welcome to the world of Patriot.
A lot of work.
A lot of work to do,
redistricting everything.
So, again, as soon as you can talk, really, we need you.
So we're working on that.
That's right.
What do we have here?
Ligman Freud says,
open the coffee shop in Florida and Escape Park.
Man, I do not like Florida.
Like the government did a great job,
and the people here are fantastic,
but the weather.
Weather is beautiful right now.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, I like snow.
I like mountains.
I'm from Chicago.
I like cold.
Yeah, you can keep it.
I look like I like cold.
I just want to be in the cold all the time.
We have an AC unit.
They installed for us personally,
Rumble installed an ACA just for me because I'm like, I want it to be 10 degrees in here,
but I'll compromise and let you guys have 50.
Tim, we have acquired some new territory that I think fits that.
Yes.
Move the studio to Greenland.
Greenland.
Getting guests will be impossible.
I was going to say that's going to be a fun plane ride.
There's a challenge.
They're getting blubber all over the desk.
It's like, guys, come on, a little decorum.
You're Americans now.
A whale will be our guest.
No, we love us.
All polar bears.
Yeah, I'm a.
I don't know.
I can handle the heat, though.
I don't wear the beanie.
I bet I think it's just time to go full say and do it and rip it off you have a gigantic say in yeah just be like full pool
Pinochet says tons of hair when I'm weaker than you I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles
when I'm stronger than you I take away your freedom is because that is according to my principles
dune that was from dune Frank Herbert yep wow that's what they do that's what they do we should have
another one that says when I am weaker than you I ask you for for freedom because that is according to my
principles. When I am stronger than you, I let you do whatever you want and hurt me because I'm
Ian. Oh man, none and all. Don't make me the military, bro. That's right. Ian said it. Yeah, that's not
even paraphrases. They said that the second coming of Christ will come, but it'll either be an economic
unifier or a destroyer of worlds. I don't want to, I'm not saying that I want to be that for people.
I'm like, how can I be like, how can I carry Jesus's torch? I don't want to church. Go to church.
He's always touching. He is always. He is always.
He's touching on blasphemy.
There's actually a whole book about how you can do this.
Yeah.
It's really handy.
There's like 66 books.
I love military strategy so much.
I don't want to become an industrial killer.
I feel like God in heaven, you know, you call it blasphemy, but Ian's not intentionally blasphemous.
So it's more like, you know, the saints and God are going, ugh.
Ian, don't blow your cover, bro.
Let him find out after you're gone.
Ian, the accidental heretic.
Yeah.
You know, what happens to someone like Ian when he goes to heaven?
Do they say, well, he didn't read him?
mean these things, so we don't hold it against them.
He just keeps stumbling onto this burning pile of, yeah, stick.
The first ever person being at the pearly gates and plead insanity.
He would be like, thank you for playing Forrest Gump so well while you are on Earth.
A funny bit I'm imagining is like, Ian dies and goes to heaven and then we're all like,
well, I hope he's doing well up there, and then Ian in heaven is actually lecturing everybody.
He's playing that I'm like, he has the exact correct theology.
He is the one person who has nailed it down.
He is, he is Calvin, you know, he's got it.
Martin Luther's like, that's a great point.
Yeah, you know, I didn't.
I should have seen this coming.
I was a fool the whole time.
It's a fool.
I love you, God.
All right.
All right.
I'm all your spirits out there.
Thanks.
Kiebster says,
McCoys were jealous,
sanctimonious pricks.
Montani, Semper, Liberi.
Wow.
We got a Hatfielder in there.
Interesting.
You know, the White Awakes are a little obscure,
but yeah,
a hackfielder.
That's a lot of times.
Trads are really going crazy with the LARPing.
Mason says Ian is a real-life example
of the Herschel family from the Walking Dead.
Locking up zombies desperately hoping their family is still in there.
Oh, man.
I am the guy in the movie that's looking for the cure, the whole movie.
Yeah, but like...
You're like, you've got a girlfriend and she's a zombie, and you're like,
don't hurt her, she doesn't know.
And then they're like, she's going to bite.
And you're like, no, no, no, I wouldn't let that happen.
Everything but the bite.
I'd be kind of into that.
Wait, that's not what I meant.
That sounds kind of...
About everything.
Ow!
Yeah.
You know, I like zombie movies, but they just don't make sense.
Right.
Like, the zombies are like, zombies are like...
bombies. The zombies are like, I'll bite you, but not
the other zombie. And you're like, but why?
And then they try to justify like World War
Z-Eates because they're emitting sickness and
pheromones or something. And it's like, eh.
The only one I really like
is 28 days later. Yeah,
and then the other one sucked. I haven't seen
them yet. I don't want to. 28 days later
was pretty good. The third
act was like, eh, okay, I guess.
And then the latest one, 20 years later,
where's 28 months later, bro?
They skipped it, and then the years later was just
dumb. They were like,
They're like, oh, the zombies are now feral, gigantic, what do they call them, like primals?
The virus makes them just massive, ripped guys that want to bang women and they have zombie babies.
For real, it's like you have crossed, you've gone too far.
Is it Killian Murphy?
Is he still the main guy?
No.
Stick with the George Romero zombie movies.
Those are great.
I want to make one.
That's my plan right now as I'm working on a zombie movie movie.
I always had a really good idea for a prank I wanted to do where we, you need a house with like a second floor.
maybe like an attic window,
and then you get a bunch of your friends
and get Hollywood zombie makeup and squibs.
And you know what squibs are?
You guys know?
They're banned now.
Squibs are banned now.
It's like all CGI because the squibs actually explode, right?
Right, yeah, sure.
Well, you get squibs, and then you order pizza.
And then when the pizza guy pulls up, or the Door Dash guy,
and they're walking to the door, you yell,
you gotta get out of here, you got to run.
And they're like, what's going?
You're like, behind you.
And then they turns around, and then there's like,
and then you go, boom.
And then the squib pop.
And then they're like, what the?
And they're looking on there's zombies everywhere,
and you're actually shooting them, and then they're falling over.
Like, what would that pizza guy do?
He'd probably just take it, like, just crap his pants.
If you do it in like Detroit, though, I got this.
I got this.
Yeah, you'd return fire.
Not my chance.
Third time this night, oh.
Yeah, if you're a pizza delivery guy in Detroit, not strapped.
You shot him.
You shot the zombies.
And he goes, they were zombies?
Yeah, literally.
All right, what do we got here?
Force name change says,
since y'all are speaking about music and artists of yesterday year,
have you heard of Van Morrison's most recent music?
It's pure garbage.
Ongoing senility with a beat of,
with a beat and a key, so bad.
Oh, wow.
Music's over, bro.
Music's over.
I got, that's it.
Like, dude, Instagram is nothing but AI thoughts.
Yeah.
And TikTok.
It's just, it's crazy.
And the funny thing is, there's a video where there's like a fat Indian guy,
and he's going like this.
And then that's a small window, and the big window,
it's like this busty, hot, like Asian chick dancing.
And I'm like, y'all dudes are cranking it to fat Indian guys.
You know? That's true.
I've been thinking about this actually earlier today.
I don't think that music's over,
but it's totally different than when you would make a band and then get famous
and get signed and go on tour.
And then you get rich.
Now it's like, good luck getting anyone to see your music.
You need to have a presence.
It's been like that for 25 years.
Like the internet?
25 years.
Yeah, well, I mean, as soon as you start, as soon as you could download songs, right, as
as soon as they digitize them and you could download them like on Winamp or whatever.
Winamp.
Yeah, back in the day.
That was best.
You know, but like that, it was over then, you know, like people, I'll talk about AI and stuff
like that and what's going to happen in the future.
And in a invariably, someone says, you know, gets on and replies with some kind of angry tweet
because AI is coming for their job and they're like,
oh, you know, you're rich and blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's like, bro, like, I was the, I was in the first industry
to get, like, the real screwing because of the internet
and because of digital stuff.
Like music sales fell off a clip.
Our breakout record came out the same year that Spotify was introduced.
Wow.
2006.
You know, I feel bad for Tate because he'll never know the joy of it taking
eight hours to download one song.
Right.
Yeah, do it overnight.
Or the number of viruses you get off LimeWire.
Or my favorite was when you'd like,
I'm like, I really want to download
falling away from me by Korn.
And you would.
And it would actually be some random no-name band
who was trying to get out there.
So you go on LimeWire and you're like,
corn, you click it.
It finally downloads it after like four hours
and you play it.
And it's some like,
whiny teenager,
Warped Tour kind of band.
And you're like,
what is this?
I think the only, like,
thing I can get
that's anything close
to this experience you're describing
is like before you board a plane,
you forgot to download stuff
on Spotify, the podcast or music or whatever.
So then you just have the most random...
They have Starlink now, dude.
Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying you get on the planet
and you have the most random collection of songs
you've ever heard in your entire life because that's all that was downloaded.
You see, Tate, we used to use a brontosaurus
to download, yeah, that's how we used to transmit music from when I had
web TV.
My family had web TV.
Yeah, it was a box you put on your TV and you had a keyboard.
And it was like this weird, like, limited run thing.
Yeah, internet on your TV.
I don't know.
90, it had to have been like early 90s.
Oh, it was connected the internet.
Yeah, we had, you'd use cable to do it.
Wow.
And it was a weird interface.
There was not much you can do.
I mean, my family had CompuServe on DOS.
You could do anything.
I didn't even use it.
But I would download all these old Apogee games.
Remember those games?
No, I didn't know.
You don't remember.
Oh, yeah, he gets them all.
Commander Keene was it?
I'm looking at all.
O.G. Commander Keene, dude.
Captain Comic.
Commander Keen.
Even I don't know.
He's like, what?
Like, that was all foreign language.
Are you guys kidding?
You know, Commander Keen?
I have the Lardard Arb on Goon.
Yeah, and they get the Warbony game. Yeah, that's great. Like, is this Sims? What's going on?
The Sims, dude.
What's the...
Bro, you guys, with your, with your small brains and uncultured...
Simolians.
Okay, yeah, Commander Key, I remember this.
Mario.
Oh, they didn't know.
Who's he?
Who is this guy?
Who is this guy?
Free promo, bro.
He's got a barcode on his shirt.
MS. DOS, Retros, you know, with all due respect, actually, I want to give this guy a shout out.
Okay.
This is from 10 months ago.
So shout out.
MS DOS retrospectives because you did the work, you deserve it, brother.
Yes.
So, uh... Patriot, salute.
Right, look at this, dude.
I love watching old DOS games.
Bro, OG Commander Keane was awesome.
Yeah, they really pulled it off.
This was like when video games turned the corner.
Yeah, dude.
From Atari.
What was that, uh, DOS game?
What was it called?
This is when you're like, it's getting real.
Back in the day, this guy would have been like an archaeologist.
Crystal Caves, was that the game?
In a way, he still is.
He's a modern archaeologist, yeah.
Searching the old...
Crystal Caves, bro.
Crystal Caves, bo...
You remember that game?
If you're playing this, if you're a bear...
191, dude.
Oh, it's pretty good.
Oh.
Look at that.
You know, other than a few minor tweaks, like this danger sign, for instance, it's got...
...street things like some version of Mario brothers.
I know every game is Mario.
This game was so based.
Look at that.
It looks...
It looks like a amazingly smooth.
Let's turn these kind of...
...shown the overscamp area.
Jumping around eating bananas.
You don't see that while emulating the original Crystal Caves.
Look at that.
Okay, you got the Mario headbutt.
That's on Steam.
Look at that.
Doesn't show that.
And then you guys don't know Captain Comic?
No, I don't think so.
What system is this all DOS?
We didn't have a sound card for our first DOS.
Yeah, I was gonna say I didn't get into computer gaming till later.
I mean, we all did the Oregon Trail in Zin City.
Look at this, DOS.
Comic.exe, 1988, 1988.
See, this was back when everything was perfect.
Piora, Illinois.
This was when the world was the best it ever was and has never improved since then.
In order to open programs, this is the music I'm talking about.
Oh, and this is good.
You know the song this is right?
Mm-hmm.
You don't know of this?
I don't think so.
Oh, uh, the Marine Corps him.
The Kingson's March, the Marines.
Oh, that's it.
Yeah.
Planet of Death.
Of course you get to buy items.
Of course.
Brave.
Look at this.
It's pretty complicated.
This is 88, bro.
Yeah, man.
Look at that.
He's got a...
1888, really.
Wow.
Yeah.
Look at him.
Throwing fireballs like some kind of jerk.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
That was the shit.
286 SX processor.
Then my buddy got the 486 and it was on.
We got the 46 DX.
Whoa.
And then Pentium.
When you got the 45.
Everything changed.
Everything changed.
62.
Did you have a turbo button on your computer?
Yeah.
No, no, no, Shannon did.
My buddy, Straz.
Yeah, our computers have a button
or you can make go faster.
Oh, my alienware has that the high performance mode.
Ooh, probably similar.
It was like everything went faster on the machine.
The entire machine is sped up.
I pity you guys.
You didn't get experienced Prime Fortnite.
Are you kidding, bro?
This sloth?
Did you do I cite the old magic to me?
I was there when it was written.
Tate, let me tell you about having to tell my mom
to stop trying to call a long distance
because I had to finish my Warcraft one game.
Sounds awful.
It sounds terrible.
This thing, you grew up on the phone.
Don't pick the phone.
Don't pick the phone.
You're trying to build this for IDDQD for God mode in Doom?
What was it?
IDDQD.
I don't know.
That's the code for God mode in Doom.
IDS, P-O-S-P-O-P-D.
That's clipping, I think.
It sounds like a disease.
It was more of a Wolfenstein guy.
Did you play in Quake 2 a lot?
Yeah.
And then in 98, 97, something like that.
Just because you can fire 9-inch nails.
Did you guys make levels in Doom or in Quake?
No, to make levels and then make each other play them?
each other play them.
I had to go,
I had to go to the worldwide cafe
where we had basically
P-I-S.
I was so close.
It's IDS, P-I-S-P-O-P-D.
That was the code for Doom,
no clipping.
And I remember that from 30 years ago.
That game's phenomenal.
Yeah.
That game set the tone
for the 90s.
There you go, man.
Let's get some more
of these super chats.
Wes Nile production says,
Tim, y'all in my hometown.
What's a guy got to do
to get y'all in my studio or vice versa?
I've DMed, I've tweeted,
I've super chatted,
I'm all out of ideas.
Where can I say?
send you all my work. I'd love to contribute to your music.
Hit up Ian and Carter on X.
We'll do. Who's it?
What's the name? Wes Nile Productions.
Dig it, Wes.
You know, the reality is sometimes we bump into people.
Joe Spinellis is false to my live in Minnesota.
It's illegal to open carrier rifle or a shotgun, especially in Minneapolis.
I support his right.
But if I did the same thing for my beliefs, I'd be in jail.
All right, lock him up.
Lock him up.
Gotta go.
That's what I'm talking about.
Right to you.
right to you all of them let's see whatever we hear uh yeah but trump says regarding an earlier clip
today just check google a i answer about use of military sudden attack defending interests of brought
etc limited time to blow without congress u.s marines can be utilized any time for emergency use indeed
yeah there was an article from uh newsweek an op-ed from one of their directors who is like
trump is going to militaristically take greenland and he's killing people and like all of the sources
don't check out. And it's just
just like, first of all, the invasion
of Venezuela, I'm not a big fan of
but, you know, we'll see. I am
a fan of some kind of action because
they stole our oil assets and we shouldn't have let
them get away with in the first place. But
every single president in my
life has taken military action
without Congress. Trump's not special.
Trump's not
special.
All right, what have we here?
Let's see.
It's Paul Newman says, you need to attend
the Alberta independence rally in the 28th in Calgary.
Bro, I'm not setting foot in Canada.
Are you nuts?
I'm going to Canada, bro.
You got to pull up to Alberta.
What are we doing here?
Look, I'm sure I see.
It's very nice.
Yeah, literally.
Yeah, I'm sure, you maple monkeys.
All right.
So Alberta wants to be free?
I love it.
Albertans are unerronically patriots.
Jokes aside, Albertans, for Canadian standards.
Don't even go there.
People talking about bringing Canada
into the United States.
It's no, you cannot come into the U.S.
People trying to trigger it.
Questionable continent says the goal of buying Greenland is simple.
Trump plans to name it Trump, like how Washington is just named Washington.
That way when people Google Trump Island, Greenland will come up.
I'm for it based.
Could you imagine if we're just like, oh, I'm going to vacation.
Where are you going?
Trump.
Yeah.
So it should be.
Oh, I've always wanted to go.
It sounds great, but cold.
It is.
Yeah, but the casino's fantastic.
That's every town.
It should be Trump town.
Trump City, Trump Village.
Trumpville.
Based on the size.
Yeah.
Just based on the size.
Trump Shire.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, I'm heading to Trump Shire this weekend.
And then I'll probably pop up to Trump City.
I saw a funny post.
Where.
Shout out of A.A.
There will have to be a Trump vest this year.
They'll have to be a Trump glacier.
I saw, I saw a funny post where Libs were freaking out because they realized that all the
the characters in Lord of the Rings are aristocrats, nobles and royalty.
And that they were cheering for them.
Yep.
Like the, like, except for Samwise, he's the only one who was a peasant.
Literally like Legolus and Air.
They're going to princes and royalty.
You've got the son of the stewards.
You've got Gimli is the son of some like wealthy nobility.
The baggins are old money, you know, inhabitant.
And it's like they're rooting for the wealthy ultra elites at a governmental meeting.
To be fair, Tolkien was a Franco supporter.
That's right.
Oh, absolutely.
E.N.
C.S. Lewis fell out over it.
Wow.
And actually destroyed their friendship.
Yeah.
That's sad.
All right.
Dave, David Briggint says, Ian, I love you, buddy.
But you've been rolling ones tonight.
Have I?
Sometimes I'm controlled opposition, and I'm the one controlling myself.
But thank you for your opinion, and I would love to debate you on it, you know?
I think I can up the ante.
And also, I'm rolling with advantage, so, though you may see one-one, like, what was the other role?
Because I'm the one on the show, so I get advantage.
So true.
I'm just kidding.
So true.
I might have been wrong about some things.
I'm just, I'm just, it's not that I'm truly tepid, but I will anchor the slowdown there energy just for the, the, the,
sake of when I look back on my life, I can at least say that I stood up for my principles.
They got to go to jail. But sometimes you need drastic military force, and I understand that.
I'm just, I like civilian life right now. They got to go to jail.
All right. Giovanni Garcia says, Tim, as much as I love you, what is informing you on your
worldview? In your world, in your world, might and strength make it right. It's whatever you want.
Stop stealing our morals, uh, incorrect and ignorant. Uh, I actually have never said Mike makes right,
because it doesn't. Might does not make morality, but it does make.
Mike makes, period. Those that are not mighty, get crushed and disappear, and those
the strong survive. That's it. Cry about it all you want, but that's truth, not opinion.
In the world, the big fish eats the little fish. That's not going to change because you hope it does.
However, morality, what we have, especially in the United States, is to seek to balance this
to create a more perfect union, a better world for everybody, where it's not just about the
strongest, but a variety of things you can contribute to your country.
Fortunately for us, the statement used to be, ask not what your country can do for you,
but what you can do for your country.
And now liberals are just like, give me, give me, give me.
So, you know, what forms my worldview is my up-up bringing?
Really?
Regarding strength, because I have thought like power will earn you at government.
You can take one, but to maintain it, you need diplomacy.
So just brute force won't, won't, like, maintain your country.
You need both.
Historically, brute force has worked pretty well.
But they always, these, these, these, um, dictatorships tend to fall out. They get blown up by like,
because you need, you know, America, you need psychic force and physical force. You need to pressure,
pressure release, uh, dispossessed groups, and you need to crush violent groups.
Gaitana Mosca called this a ruling formula, meaning that you need both the physical, uh,
force, but you also need the psychological and, uh, you know, basically metaphysical justification.
You need to both have the overwhelming force,
but you also need to have the underlying logic
by which people understand a legitimate rule.
