So Elon Musk has gone and done it. Elon Musk has appointed a new CEO to Twitter, a woman who is an executive chair for the World Economic Forum. And already you can see the backlash. I started thinking about this right away because we signed up recently to be a verified organization. It costs over $1,000 a month for these corporate benefits that you get with Twitter. And I like them. I think they're good. You get prioritized reach placement. You get to verify all of your employees. You get a gold badge. You get an affiliation badge along with verification if you work for the company. But who would I be if I told all of you to stop drinking Bud Light? And then I kept paying a company that put an executive chair of the World Economic Forum on its C-suite as the chief executive officer. I think I'd be a hypocrite. So in the poll on this live show, I have asked you, should we, TimCast, remove our Twitter blue over the appointment of a World Economic Forum chief executive officer?

So far, the poll as of the launch of this show is at about 66%. So we're going to talk a lot about that. Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com.

I have a podcast now, the Tudor Dixon podcast, and we are working on what we can do to win elections. So that's the plan going forward. Right on. I guess before we get started, you got plans to run again? working on what we can do to win elections. So that's the plan going forward.

Right on. I guess before we get started, you got plans to run again? Maybe someday. All right. I say maybe it's like pregnancy and then you forget and do it again. There you go. So, okay. Well, thanks for hanging out. This should be a lot of fun. We already had a lot. We were talking a lot before the show started and it was really good. So I'm excited. We got Phil Labonte hanging out. How you doing? I am Phil Labonte, lead singer of All That Remains, anti-communist and counter-revolutionary

here with my good friend. Hi, I'm Taylor Silverman. I'm a skateboarder and I work on the show Cass Castle here at Tim Cass. And Free Domestan. And newly, coming soon, Free Domestan. I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to make any announcements. You haven't made it again. Yeah.

But I just recently did Tudor's podcast also. So it's really cool to meet you in person yeah it is it she was great awesome and we were very excited to have you because she's a Michigander too oh yeah yeah so there's like a connection we're not too far either no like an hour and a half yeah right on what's up everybody uh it's Kellen uh Fridays are the best days as I always say I'm ready to get started when you guys are all right let's jump into this first story. We got this on Twitter itself from Elon Musk. He says, I'm excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter. Linda Yac will focus primarily on business operations while I focus on product design and new technology. Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app. Okay, well, here you go. Here's a, well, I guess maybe I can shrink this so you can see it better. Apparently not.

Well, you can see right here, World Economic Forum. This is from her LinkedIn. Executive chair, January 2019 to present. I took a screenshot of this because I don't want to show the rest of her private details, but I think this is particularly relevant and publicly available. Yaccarino is the chairman

of the World Economic Forum's task force on a future of work and sits on the WEF's Media, Entertainment, and Culture Industry Governor's Steering Committee. She is also highly engaged with the Value in Media Initiative. Immediately, I don't trust her. I don't.

Look, I like Elon Musk. I think he's doing a lot of really important things. I think SpaceX is one of the most important things humanity is doing, period. And I think him buying Twitter was already very, very good. But I think this is a huge mistake, if only because he has shattered confidence in the platform to the point where I have pulled up right now the verified orgs subscription plan. And before I clicked deactivate our account, which would suspend payments to Twitter for the corporate benefits for Twitter balloon verification, I decided to put a poll up. And it's already sitting at 70% saying, yes, we should terminate our subscription to Twitter over this. So I'm curious what you guys think. I mean, I think that we have to be honest with who Elon Musk is. You know, we we were talking about how we like to glob on to someone who we believe is a conservative because they agree with one of our values.

And he's very he's been very adamant that he wants free speech. But he's also a globalist. We know this. I mean, he's he's made that very clear. So we can't expect that Twitter is going to be this place that's not going to be leaning that way or that he's not going to be leaning that way. So I think you have to do what you think is right for your company and for your company. This is not where you are. For obvious reasons, I'm not concerned about whether or not Elon's conservative.

Right. I, you know, I argue with Seamus over abortion. But I think in the modern culture war in in our current culture war the traditional pro-choice position is substantially closer to pro-life than the left's current position on abortion up to the point of birth which is terrifying to me so it seems like they're they're creating this uh the culture war has created this perception that liberals and conservatives are almost the same thing because of how radically different they are but if elon musk comes out and says i'm going to give the libertarians disaffected liberals conservatives the right to speak on this platform we think it's a good thing the issue for me is appointing this woman says to me party's over honeymoon's over the censorship will slowly

start creeping back in and we are going right back to the beginning. I think that, I mean, liberalism has a weakness in that it does take other philosophies at their face value as if they are honest. And right now, like the woke mind virus, whatever you want to call it, the current popular brand of leftism is subversive it's intentionally subversive so if a liberal takes them at their at face value you often end up with martin bailey arguments you often end up with all kinds of uh emotional arguments uh because the left doesn't fundamentally believe the same things that liberals do elon musk is a liberal he believes that open dialogue is always good and i think that you it is but you have to understand that just because you're liberal everyone around you does is not liberal like people believe that they're liberal nowadays there are people that will say they're liberal and then they will go ahead and advocate for authoritarian type policies like, you know, clamping down on free speech.

You can't say this. You can't say that. You can't have this opinion. That's a bad thing. And I don't know if Elon is as aware as he needs to be of how dangerous and how intentionally subversive the left is nowadays. You can't take people like that at their word because they play with meanings, they play with definitions. And I think that if he's aware, it's possible that he could navigate that. But it's not easy because people like that

will tend to find other people like that that share their opinions and they'll invite them in and hire them and that's what happened in in colleges in education that's why you have such a monolithic ideology coming out of colleges now so i want to pull up this article from vox.com who is linda yaccarino elon musk's pick for the new Twitter CEO? And they mentioned that, let me just read this. Although Iaccarino is not vocal about her political beliefs, it is well known in the advertising community that she's conservative. According to several sources, she served on former President Donald Trump's Council on Sports and Nutrition, and many have noted that she likes and follows conservative accounts on Twitter.

But she's also drawn flack from the right. Some of the more extreme right-wing Twitter influencer accounts have criticized her for praising diversity in the workforce and for being chair of the task force on the future of work at the world economic forum which they view as an elitist organization i mean that's putting it lightly they view as can i mean if you can't go to the meetings and and just show up it is well i mean it's a globalist yeah secretive elitist but uh if she's a conservative does that i mean is it a good thing is it a bad is is her participation in the world economic forum disqualifying because we don't trust the world economic forum the davos group and their policies what if she's actually a conservative which means we're going to get more

right-leaning or center center-ish policies i think it calls for serious scrutiny serious serious scrutiny uh i'm not ready to just swear off and say you know screw off it's it's time to go jump into the old bunker and and you know expect the the bombs to start falling in the end of the world but it is completely reasonable to look at this person and say look your history and things that you've said in videos i've seen clips and stuff that have been put up on twitter already things that she said it's she is very very suspect so well scrutiny i guess the idea is she is well known in the advertising community and so el Elon's view most likely is that she's going to restore faith for the advertisers and bring them back to the platform. But there's only one way

you do that. And that's caving to woke nonsense. How involved do you think he is at this point? I mean, you can get rid of a CEO. She's going to be tested. We're all going to make it known if we don't like her. I mean, I think it's going to be interesting because to be CEO, we shouldn't be judging. Are you conservative? Are you liberal? Are you a good manager of something like this? And this is a business. If she's managing it well, then it shouldn't be that she's going after people for their ideology. Now, I don't know if she is in the situation of being a chair of the World Economic Forum if she's able to pull herself away from that and look at this from a business venture standpoint.

Because if you're a good business person, the majority of businesses across the world do not look at things politically. We think they do because we see the bud lights of the world. But most companies are like, stay out of the political. Let's make a profit. Let's make it work. Let me pull up this tweet from Billboard Chris, who responded to Elon Musk. He said, during her interview with you, she was most excited about your initiative to limit reach of tweets, which are deemed hateful.

Freedom of speech, not freedom of reach. In fact, that was her main selling point to the advertising execs in the audience and she kept coming back to it she went on to chastise you twice for tweeting after 3 a.m because people are concerned about that sort of behavior what she also wanted advertising execs to be part of an influence council within twitter she's not here to improve the user experience she wants twitter to be a safe space she represents advertisers and her natural inclination is to limit speech and pander to those who push woke ideology on the world. You will have to watch her like a hawk. She was also thrilled to spend $100 million on social justice initiatives at NBC and forwarded government authoritarian propaganda that the way

back to a normal life was to wear your mask. No doubt she'll bring in advertising revenue in the short term, but she's a long-term mistake. Elon responded and said, to wear your mask, no doubt she'll bring in advertising revenue in the short term, which is a long-term mistake. Elon responded and said, I hear your concerns, but don't judge too early. I am adamant about defending free speech, even if it means losing money. Well, I'm going to put it this way. I believe

the preliminary view with her resume is that I should not be giving Twitter any money and if she then proves she's going right doing right by the company then i'll give the company money so i've already given twitter some money signing up for the verified organizations and twitter blue for the company it's relatively expensive bringing this woman on i i feel is a very big risk. I don't want to fuel any more of this ESG woke garbage.

If this woman works the World Economic Forum, which is a major proponent of this stuff, I am going to limit my giving them money. Maybe in a couple months, I will revisit the prospect of signing back up if she's doing a good job. But this is, I feel like it's whether it's a betrayal of trust or not is irrelevant i feel like it's just advertisers leave elon says we got to make money i say don't worry i'll give you money elon i believe in what you're doing he then says okay welcome the world economic forum chair on the future of work and i say okay well now i now i don't know what you're doing and i don't know if i believe in it i don't want to give these people money well okay so let's go a little

deeper on the advertisers leaving thing because why are advertisers leaving anything that is considered conservative and why are we allowing these threats and i think activists but but they're getting them de-platformed debanked all of these things and so why are we i see politicians going after individual businesses and I say, why aren't we going after these people that are debanking, the banks that are debanking? Why aren't we making this illegal? Instead of going after case by case and trying to hit the business, go after the source of the problem and stop that from happening. So we don't end up having people go, I'm going to hire somebody that I think can get marketer, that I think can get

advertisers because advertisers are so finicky. Why are they finicky? Because we are allowing this bullying system that is really stopping people from being able to bank. I mean, if you debank someone, they're toast. Yeah. So where are all of the,

the politicians that are going, well, we can't allow this to continue happening. I think, uh, the debanking stuff is a sign that there's going to be some kind of serious financial crash and they're trying to do everything to push everyone towards towards digital currencies and they want a central bank digital currency and i was actually listening to some guy talk

about there's this apple just announced this bank account with four percent interest and i'm hearing everybody be like i have to set one of those things up. 4% interest. That's, that's, that's huge. I mean, inflation's way worse than that if you're tracking the real numbers, but 4% is big for a savings account. And so now I'm hearing that this is causing an upset in the financial industry to a certain degree, at least I'm not a financial guy. I don't know for sure, but that why get a CD at 3.8 or 4% if a savings account with Apple is better and you don't got to wait for it to mature or whatever. And so we're just, we're seeing stuff like that. And I don't know what that really means. All I know is I see people saying they're concerned about it. We're seeing

banks collapse. We're seeing debanking. And I'm wondering if the big move is going to be get everybody onto digital currencies, big collapse happens, central bank digital currency gets launched. I can't say whether or not that's the actual plan but i know that nowadays there are a lot more options for people when it comes to banking financial technologies have really taken off things like bitcoin showed that digital types of currencies uh can actually work and so obviously you see banks that exist coming up and companies now, obviously with Apple doing it with offering bank accounts or whatever, you're going to see more innovations in the financial technology sector unless the government

completely shuts it down. So I don't know that they're going to, but I would expect without a central bank digital currency, I would expect more options and more possibilities for people to come from the private sector because that's what happens. But what does that mean as you stretch money across those different areas? If you have so many different options, then how does anything stay stable? Because if you take money out of banks, then banks are not stables. So you have to look at this and say, well, somebody has to kind of say, well, there has to be some control so that everything's not crashing.

You're talking to a libertarian here kind of dude. So I'm like, no, just straight up no. Like I think that there are tons of options for ways to save your value. Things that you have, you know, whether it be money or whether it be Bitcoin, different cryptocurrencies, there's a ton of different, you know, currencies in the world that people can say, I think these are better than dollars for whatever crazy reason they come up

with. You can buy gold, you can buy silver. There's already so many different ways to store currency and save currency and save value. Just a few more banks or more options that are now new technologies. I don't think that's any kind of significant problem. I don't think it's a problem at all. I think that that's something that we can handle. I mean, most people that have a significant amount of wealth, it's usually in stocks. We're frequently in stocks and stuff like that in owning companies. So I don't know that it needs to be controlled by the Federal Reserve.

I think that the markets will control that kind of stuff. So that's just my take. Back to Twitter for a second. Do you think we're going to see a lot of people stop paying for Twitter to at least give it some time to see how it plays out? Or do they want that blue check really bad? No, I think that it's, I mean, I don't know, it'll be interesting because for some people, I think it's their business and they feel like that's a service they subscribe to. And so maybe they'll watch and see. And then I think that once they see the first signs of what you're concerned about, that's when you'll see people just immediately drop.

I was going to say, I think maybe that's the appropriate response. Instead of just canceling everything outright, basically just saying to Elon, my view is this is thin ice. And if we see one bad move, like we're skittish, we are running. But for the time being, I really want, I really want to believe,

I really want Elon to succeed in this endeavor. And if the issue is, he's looking at the bottom line, like we need advertisers. And this woman worked in the Trump administration. I'm like, okay, you know. She was in the trump administration i'm like okay you know she was in the trump administration yeah okay well i mean i mean trump picked well that's what people are saying right i'm pretty right exactly that's why i'm like i don't know i think that you

have to think of it from she's a known trump supporter according to vox so she she would you would think that doing this you would be very careful not to immediately make changes and and make a lot of people mad because you saw what just happened with Bud Light. I mean, they literally are giving a $15 rebate right now with every case you buy. Are they really? Yeah. It's a disaster for them. But if that's the reaction, why would they take the chance of everybody dropping their subscription? Which, I mean, obviously this happened with big corporations just recently, so it's quite possible.

But like you said, I think that you wait and you see. If this is what happens, then conservatives are not going to hesitate. They've made that clear now. We're just done with this woke stuff. If you're going to do it, we're out. My favorite thing about Twitter since Elon took over is that he has brought back freedom of speech to an extent which i think a lot of people value and that's not necessarily a conservative value it's pretty crazy that people think that is now and um billboard chris's remarks like talking about uh what she said freedom

of speech not freedom of reach i wonder what is deemed hateful? Like who's defining that? The big play for the left is to argue that free speech is conservative so that they can make anything they don't like right wing. And then anything. So right means bad, left means good. So from now on, I'm just going to call them right wing. It's like it's and I'm going to say it's always been the right that was anti-free speech. Free speech is like the ultimate rebel move.

Yeah, so they're all far right. Well, if you're not on the left, you're far right extremist. Even if you're on the left and you say one thing out of line, you're a far right extremist now. It doesn't take very much to step out of line on the left. Oh, yeah. You just got to call them far right. Although left and right are relatively meaningless these days. It just means like which tribe are you in but that's that's what they try to do and then how do you how do you fight back

against that when you say i'm for free speech they well then you're conservative the argument they're making is free speech is a traditional position and banning hate speech is the progressive position right so you are you are old and archaic if you support the old way of doing things but but it's also helpful to not teach history so we just saw that the proficiency in history is at the lowest levels in the united states ever so if you don't know what happens when you ban speech if you don't know that people were you know killed or kept in prison because they went against the king then you don't know why the founding fathers were so adamant that we had to be able to say whatever we want even if they don't like it even if it's burning the american

flag if even if it's something that seems so awful they want you to be able to say it because once you start to it's a slippery slope once you start to take it away then everybody it'll hurt them too that's the funny thing it will hurt them too i feel like conservatives have become liberal in the literal sense of things like liberals are far left extremists they're not really most of them are just ignorant but then there's a lot of people who are quote unquote liberal who are actually far left and then conservatives are adopting liberal positions so conservatives saying something like well if it's your flag you can burn it whereas conservatives used to say you shouldn't be allowed to burn the flag trump and many other Trump supporters still said you should not be allowed to desecrate the flag. But a lot of conservatives are adopting more libertarian positions or classically liberal

positions. And I think that's one of the intentions of the left is to force conservatives leftward. Right. So they make the wheel rotate. The far left becomes moderate and conservatives become fringe. Then people who are center right are now the far right, and they keep turning the wheel until the left is considered moderate. Well, I would argue even school choice is liberal. You're saying people should have the ability to choose, that we should be able to let parents make that decision on their own. And they're saying, no, no, no, it has to be our way.

You have to have kids in school in the schools we choose. Even if the school is totally failing the child, they must stay there. We don't care what you want for your kid, and we don't care if you want to have a future or an education or opportunity. You must do what we say. That is not a liberal attitude, is that you have to conform no i mean it's it's the idea that liberalism or the idea the ideals of liberalism have fallen so out of favor with you know specifically young people um but i think there's too many of the thought leaders that have been writing books and papers and stuff for the past 30 years and influencing the teachers and influencing the schools of education that's why you have kids that don't understand you know that don't understand anything about our our system people don't understand the way that the why you know things like freedom of speech and stuff are important so i you know i don't they're they're they're cutting our our this country's youth from the history yeah as you mentioned they don't know history and then you see there was this teacher who said something

about wokeness in the schools so the students went out and protested the teacher with communist signs yeah and this is how it starts people need to pay attention to this because those kids in 10 20 years are going to be in politics there is a maoist cultural revolution going on in america right now but but people think because it doesn't happen overnight it doesn't happen but it's never overnight i think something that we recently spoke to someone who was in she had she moved from china when she was in her 20s and she'd gone through the revolution and she said they started with the kids what they did was they went to the kids and they got them to believe. And then the kids would turn in the parents for wrong think.

And you can see that already. You see families breaking up over cultural issues, over political issues in the United States. And you could see that next step of children willing to go to the government and say, my parents are thinking the wrong thing. You need to go after them. You can present evidence and people will still reject that i've been doing this like been saying look this stuff and blah blah blah and talking about that stuff with my friends that are that are historically liberals right democrats like i come from the music entertainment world and so there's tons of producers and and record executives and and people in bands and stuff that i'm familiar with

and most of them are basically the default democrat right and they aren't aware that this is going on and then you can show them and present evidence and see look these are the parallels to what went on in china when the cultural revolution was getting started and here etc you can see this and and they just refuse to believe it because there's because it doesn't have that like immediate happening right in front of me right now that they expect to get to they expect to see with a revolution they don't realize that it's a slow rolling kind of thing and trying to convince them is incredibly hard it took me or it took the uh the bill maher and I think it was it wasn't the Elon Musk thing.

It was Bill Maher talking about his experience with or what he saw the parallels between Maoism and the woke on college campuses. Now, when that came out, then a buddy of mine was like, yeah, OK, I can kind of see that. But it took it takes so much. It takes someone like Bill Maher, who's a uh you know an s-lib and and saying that kind of stuff limousine liberals yeah you know it takes him to kind of be like no this is actually happening and i see the parallels too thankfully he said it because that is actually going to wake up your typical liberals your default democrats because that's someone they trust telling them that as opposed to someone they don't trust telling them that but i don't know that you know i don't know that

it has translated to something where most people feel that way i think one of the big ones that wakes a lot of people up is when they get called out for saying a woman is a female or like we shouldn't have males in female sports there are some really obvious ones that you can't ignore are obviously insane and like for me having it affect my life and seeing it impact other people's lives i know a lot of women who were very much so on the left and then saw this happen and were like nope not anymore there's a line i mean i really do feel like the left pushes further and further until finally the bubble pops. But for the most part, they keep it to a certain point where it stays loving.

And that's the thing they believe. People believe it's loving. You know, this is a kind way to do things. Look, everybody benefits from this. We, you know, everybody benefits if you don't let people say hateful things. That's what they believe, you know. And then they say it's hateful to say something like, the scientific research coming out of Europe suggests

that we should not be giving children sex change surgery. They say that's hate speech. It's like, it's just what they're doing in Europe. I don't know, you know, I'm not a scientist. I mean, it was the same thing with kids learning with masks on. Europe much earlier came out and said, we have to make sure that kids are learning to speak, that speech is very clear, that we can, and the scientific studies came out. But then,

you know, it was like, we weren't allowed to say that. I mean, there are all these things that as studies come out from other countries, we're slower to adopt that thinking. So that's very interesting. Yeah, but I think your average person is like oh no hate speech good we shouldn't be throwing slurs around but it's playing out to a much more extreme way this is what they do they will say something like we just it's the mott and bailey we are just saying that people shouldn't be using slurs and then everyone goes well we agree with that then you come out and you say something like i have concerns about whether or not we should be sterilizing children. Hate speech.

That's what we ban. Right. And so these default libs who don't pay attention, I don't know what's going on, have no idea what they're actually getting behind is like overt communism. I think that you also have a bunch of people who don't understand what sterilization is. I think that you have a lot of people that probably have never been through a surgery, probably don't know what it's like to go into the hospital, don't know what the after effects are of going through something like this. And so they look at the people who are saying, we've got to keep kids safe and say, how can you rob children of this opportunity? Probably a lot of those people will never be in the situation of even having a child that is considering this or but i i will tell you that i've noticed that friends who have been

wildly liberal about this stuff and have been very supportive of these surgeries when their own child has come to them and said i've decided that i'm the opposite gender it's a different reaction they get mad or they're, this is not happening to us. You know, this is not you. This is not. I mean, in some cases, I've seen both. I've seen where it almost feels like the parent pushed them into it. And I've seen where you have a strong Christian or Jewish community.

And then suddenly this social contagion comes through. And the parents are like, wait a minute. But you were the ones talking to your kids about being this is acceptable. We love this and this is great. And they're talking to kids that are way too young to understand what this means. And we've seen this new phenomena where kids see this on social media and they're looking. All kids are looking for a place to belong. They're looking for a place to stand out.

They're looking for a place to get attention. That's what kids are. And so these people are getting a lot of attention. This must be where I belong. And then mom and dad don't know how to handle it because you've got so many pressures on you to say that this is okay. No, it's not okay. I mean, that's the benefit of not being a liberal. I don't have to be like, uh. I've heard stories where, I read one story online where it was a mother who said that she was totally in favor of all of this she was cheering it on she was going to the rallies and the parades and then when her kid came to her and said that he was trans they were like no you're

not and then all of a sudden they went uh-oh the reaction that they got from the schools from everybody was don't be a bigot and they were like but we know our kid our kid was never experiencing any of these symptoms has is now just saying these things and without any symptoms the school is saying it's true and that's what woke them up to hey this thing is it's something else something else is going on one of the phenomenon that are or another parallel to what was going on with the cultural evolution in China and today was you had red and black identities in China. If you had a red identity, you were accepted as politically correct. You might have been a socialist. Maybe someday you were going to go on and become an actual member of the communist party. And so that was one of the ways that they segregated each other here in the U.S.

Now, if you are a cis, a normal white person that is not that doesn't have any kind of LGBT identity, you are looked at as suspect because you possibly could be a Republican. Yeah, you might be. So automatically, just by not having any kind of protective identity, you are suspected of being the other, the bad guy. And there is a way out. You can just take on any type of LGBT

identity. You can be non-binary. You can be some type of polyamorous or whatever. Any kind of thing that you want to take on that gives you an LGBT identity protects you from being accused of being the bad person. And it's the same thing that happened in China. It is not new. And I wish that more people would recognize this. And I think that if they they did they'd be scared as

crap that was like the beginning of the social credit score in china and now we're seeing that in the united states and you know i think it's funny because people say well why don't more people run for office and i just look at what it was like to run for office you know because that's like the major social credit score right i'm like i don't know if i want to order from my starbucks app because my name is on it you know i don't know what people will do when I go in. And I mean, it is true that if you are known for something and when does it come to, when do we get to the point where someone walks up to you with their cell phone and looks at you and goes, okay, no, they don't pass. Their social credit score is too low. Or the bank looks at you and says, no, this person, they don't pass.

I mean, we're getting there. I'm confident that that has happened already it has just not been exposed yes i agree it it starts with we have the esg stuff which is behind the scenes companies not wanting to allow certain behaviors because it could affect their esg rating or whatever michael knowles had this big twitter thread about anheuser-Busch. That basically they're wrapped up in this. So they'll never back down. They can't back down. Well okay.

Then we need to stop buying their products. And then hopefully this panic just keeps dragging them down. I think with HSBC downgrading their stock. That may be. That may be a cascade effect. But I'm also thinking about it. In terms of. This new industrial industrial revolution and what work really means and how many people there are in big cities who do literally no work, nothing, and they make a lot of money. I'm comparing somebody who's, say, a tradesman to somebody who wrote for BuzzFeed News. The person writing for BuzzFeed News did not create anything of merit or value to human society, but was getting paid a lot more than, say, an apprentice tradesman or something like that. Someone who's actually building things and fixing things. So right there, you already

have the makings of social credit. The fact that you are a New Yorker of high social status, the credit was already there, and it's simply money money money being given to you for no real reason and then you can buy things and have access to things i was thinking about this a few weeks ago i don't know if social credit is going to be what people think it is that you'll you'll pop a phone and you'll look at the app and you'll say a 200 oh wow you know you're you're pretty you're up there oh a seven oh no no it's going to be money people who worked for buzzfeed news advice were getting money for being good, socially upstanding citizens. They were working for these companies and writing woke propaganda and getting paid a lot of money to do it, getting paid more money to write woke propaganda than to fix a toilet. We need toilets. We don't need woke propaganda.

The party needs woke propaganda and you are rewarded heavily with big money. As we enter this new this new industrial revolution, the jobs you get are the social credit score. We are not going to need farmhands when we automate these jobs. So what's going to happen is the job you get, the company will get financing for ESG. The banks are going to be like, you're very woke. Here's financing. They'll then hire you and say, we want you to make big signs saying go communism and you'll get paid a hundred grand a year to do it. Then someone else of low social standing who makes burgers, for instance, they get less money.

You don't need to have that score attached. Somebody then, I wonder how it is that people can walk into these nightclubs and just throw money around like crazy. Like what job do they have? I thought about this at casinos. How could there be a guy at the craps table with three grand like what job does he have he must have a really powerful important job in the future it's not going to be what important job do you have because we're automating away a lot of the

labor it's going to be how have you helped esg and then you're going to get cash. That cash grants you the access. Yep. Digital gulag. And CBDC is backing this system. So one extra security layer for it is I don't need to assign a score to you. I just need to make sure you get money for supporting the far left cause. How many people worked at Twitter that got fired? And Twitter functions essentially the same. And actually they're changing things you know and that's exactly it they're getting paid ridiculous sums of money to live in san francisco because they're propagandists for the machine that is

your paycheck was your social credit score if we're not tying labor to i'm sorry uh your your income to your labor anymore it literally used to be like i bake bread i get paid and we value that that was merit merit is becoming your social standing. Look at Instagram, look at Twitter, look at TikTok, your social status. Dylan Mulvaney produces nothing for the society, but probably makes a lot of money. Dylan Mulvaney, then the combination of social currency, big following and hard currency for while producing nothing of value means that dylan mulvaney can walk into the white house and you can't that's social credit right there but also a very depressed society because think about what those people are really like i mean i think dylan

mulvaney is genuinely depressed we keep hearing that you know he struggled a lot or she struggled a lot since all of this has happened. This is all a big problem. But it's the same with the people. It's the same with these reporters that are these woke reporters that are writing. They're very depressed. I mean, you read the articles. They just put an article out in Michigan saying these reporters,

these young reporters go through so much harm and stress over having to write these stories. And the one guy says, I couldn't even, I was okay with it not even being true because it was so stressful for me i'm like whoa but that's exactly what you're saying they're making a lot of money to put the message out it doesn't matter if they're doing a good job they are putting the message out but they're living miserable lives so they may be getting a lot of money but they're miserable what kind of a society is that so this is a very dark one. So this is what they're trying to do.

They don't want shows like this to exist because we do very well here at Timcast. The Daily Wire does very well. And voting with your dollars has always been a thing. So currency being some kind of social credit has always existed. But as we get into as we're as we're fighting a culture war and as we're moving into an information economy and influencer economy, this is why the left has organized to go after sponsors. Because then they can remove you from the system and strip you of your social credit standing. It's all about influence.

You have an Instagram account. You're a pro skateboarder, let's say. You got 100,000 followers. You have sponsors. Every time you post a picture of you drinking their sports drink you get paid 200 bucks someone then starts emailing that company and says cut them off take away their funds you're only allowed to support our political cause if we lose that fight you are in full-blown communist social credit score system yep and that's that's the goal that i i I really don't think that there's a whole lot of convincing argument that,

that would be able to, to make me think anything different. Now, the, the technology that we have, like we talked a little bit about FinTech, the technology that we have available to us now and the convenience that people have gotten used to the ability to just use your phone to do stuff like that they're gonna make being in the in the digital gulag so convenient and so comfortable that it's gonna actually it's gonna be so alluring and no and very few people are going to say no i don't want to be in the you know inside it's to be something that is, I mean, I wonder if there will be very, if there will be anybody that would really choose to be outside of it other than people that are like old. There would be some millennials, maybe some Gen Xers that would say no.

But anyone that hasn't been born yet or anyone that's an infant or under five years old now, they will never have known life outside of it. And the idea of living like those old people, it'll be like the idea of living in the Stone Age. You, with AI technology where it's at, with VR technology and the Neuralink chip and metaverse stuff. I mean, metaverse, I think, is like crumbling apart. But digital worlds no one's gonna want to live in reality yep you're gonna you're gonna click the neural link into your chip into your port on your neck your eyes roll back in your head you enter this matrix universe where you where you as a god of your own reality just say generate me a world where i'm the dragon

warrior and i'm gonna save the princess and then it just manifests right before your eyes. And you say, I'm going to live here instead. It's like West world. Yeah. Yep. You get to live in your fantasy where you can do whatever you want. Why would anyone want to leave?

The worlds that people are going to create are going to be the most horrific monstrosity because there's no repercussions. You're going to have the most insane, deviant, crazy, self-indulgent, monstrous. Like, it's going to be a horror show. For over two years. Because you can experience anything you want. And if reality sucks, that's going to be more appealing to create. Oh, no.

They're going to be worse because people are going to be like, oh, you mean I can chop bodies up and have an experience that and not have any kind of ramifications. It is called dark. It's called GTA. Yeah, exactly. The fact that Grand Theft Auto as a video game has been so popular for several decades. Everybody, everybody has gotten the hooker, then beaten her to death and taken the money back. Like that was the joke in GTA. You go, you get the hooker, you go to death and taken the money back like that was the joke in gta you go you get the hooker you go behind the thing you beat you and so

you know like that's out of the video yes oh yeah i i have not i have never played but i have i you know when i was in college all my friends would take me in and show me exactly that but it's true everybody's like look at this you can't say I'm not right. You know I'm right. Everyone did it. Don't you lie. But so the GTA got better and better. And one of my favorite things was if you're playing Grand Theft Auto, you can aggress upon a pedestrian in any way.

That's why I'm not saying like strike. I'm saying like any any way to make that person want to fight you. And as soon as they start chasing you, you can call the police on your phone. When the cops pull up, as soon as that other person hits you, the cops arrest that person want to fight you. And as soon as they start chasing you, you can call the police on your phone. When the cops pull up, as soon as that other person hits you, the cops arrest that person. So there's a lot of really interesting dynamics in Grand Theft Auto that make it fun.

Mostly in the past few years, people have been playing online. And that's what they've been, it's mostly just player versus player, mini games and stuff like that. But when we get to the point where you can put on a headset or plug yourself into the Neuralink,

Neuralink's going to change the game when we can do read write brain computer interface and someone can plug a cable into your brain to give you an experience and you can actually feel in these universes no one will ever leave yep why why would anyone nobody i don't know i cannot i get that but i also think that there's something so amazing about life that is really hard to give up that natural that ability to carry a child to nurture a child i think it's parenting i mean maybe it will become uncool and it will go away but i just can't imagine that you will give that up well here's what here's what's going to happen you're going to apply the women are yeah you're going to apply for a job and they're going to say great when can you start you can start first thing

monday morning like amazing and what's your your neural link contact and you're going to say i i don't use neural link and they're going to say well all of our meetings are in the metaverse you you have to have a neural link contact and well i I'll get one. And that's how they get you. I think a lot of people will be inspired to start their own thing. Like even with sponsorships and stuff, we see companies like Daily Wire sponsor themselves. Tim Cass sponsor themselves with Casper Coffee.

Yes, but like cell phones. We just all did it. You're everybody said, you've got to have a cell phone. How am I supposed to get in touch with you? And we said, okay, we'll get one. And people, I remember saying, I'm not going to have a CIA tracking device in my supposed to get in touch with you and we said okay we'll get one and people i remember saying i'm not going to have a cia tracking device in my pocket now everyone's like which cia tracking device did you get

and you get the apple one or the android one and there's something else you guys that i want to go push or go back to what you had said about talking about the experience like women wouldn't do this and etc that is all garbage all right the reason that's all garbage is because your whole universe is in between your ears so once neuralink can figure out how to produce the experience it's over i hope it doesn't because the experience by the time that happens it's going to be a few years i mean i don't know about read right to a brain that could be a long way off. We're already at the point where Neuralink can read brain signals. I thought this was going to be used for good things

like people that can't walk. That's where we're at right now and I do think it's fantastic. They can connect nerves and give people the ability to walk or they can do robotic legs so you can use your mind to move them and you can walk again. They're just going to make walking unnecessary. But look, that's true.

And we're right now where we are. All Wally's? Yes. You just have your headset on or you won't even need the headset. You just press a button on the side of your head. Wally got this wrong. In Wally, everybody was morbidly obese

floating around in chairs. It's really funny how when we look back in time like um demolition man you ever see that movie no with sylvester stallone and wesley snipes i think it was right is that it was yeah so it's he's a cop and he gets uh frozen for like 30 years or something goes to the future because he they frame him for a crime or something i don't know i can't remember the story but uh he's in the future and phone booths are video phone booths isn't it really funny that back then it was like the 90s they made this movie and they're like what will phone booths be like in 30 years like they'll have cameras in them we got rid of them all in like the year two in like 2005 we started getting rid of

phone booths and everyone got cell phones by 2007 everybody had a cell phone we could not predict how it was going to play out so right now you you get wally where-E, where they're like, in the future, everyone's going to be in hover chairs, eating and morbidly obese with no bones because they don't have to do anything. And no, I think you're right. No one's going to need to walk at all. We're already at the point where you can load up Mid Journey and type in something like, well, here's what I like doing.

If you use Mid Journey, here's my advice. If you want a photograph, you type in the photograph and then put Getty Photography. Because what it does is it's trained off the internet. So all the captions for photos that look real will say Getty Photography Donald Trump instantly. You can make these things. I typed in last night, Donald Trump going super sane and got a cartoon of a super ripped Donald Trump glowing with energy and spiky hair. I did Joe Biden super ripped and got aviator Joe Biden all ripped flexing with the glasses on. We can do that in an instant. So that means we are a couple of years away from being able to render a full video where you're like, make me a three minute video of Donald Trump doing a series of backflips on the on a gym mat and it will render it so what's stopping

you from creating some video of a politician that says something terrible and changing the course of the world nothing we we can already do it with audio i i there's 11 labs we i can pull it up right now and simulate the voices of several prominent personalities because we've done it to prove a point i can i can literally you know what let's let's uh but that's the danger of having someone like joe biden as president because you never know what the people around him would create there is no joe biden there is only the people around him are there any laws about the ai voice that's that's why they're trying to put law they're trying to make laws around this and and what was it italy that just made it illegal

was it italy that just made ai illegal i think so and and so i mean think about it because if you have this manchurian candidate if you have this guy who really is not in there at all and you can create something and send it to putin or you could send it to you know president g and you could create a world war or something i don't know who knows let's let's give this one a shot who are you doing tutor dixon is fantastic i think everyone should listen to her podcast this is tucker carlson thank you and good night it's pretty good i just typed that out right now that's true but did he not actually say that he did not say that i'm sure he said it you could notice the inflection was a little weird because the computer doesn't know proper pacing it's just text but you can do tricks with commas and periods and capitalization to make to and then

re-render it until you get the proper inflection or you could actually just do a couple words at a time and then edit them together there was a viral video video of Joe Rogan selling, let's call it mail enhancement. And it was completely fake. Someone AI generated this stuff. It's already happening. So if we're at that point with virtual reality headsets, we are a few years away from you being able to put on the headset and say, Oculus, render me a universe a video game where i get to be a street fighter in street fighter 2 and then it will just make it it will

make that game instantly for you and you'll be like oh cool i'm i'm ryu and i'm gonna do a hadouken who's gonna want to go outside when you can have literally already people get addicted to mid journey the ai image generator because it's so much fun but so i will i will fight back i don't know i know you're like no stop talking i got you i got you but what about what about okay movies where earth is gone right they're in space they always long for earth they always want to go out and be in the grass and see the birds and i believe there's people that will always want to get virtual have you seen the have you seen the picture where they put the vr goggles on the cow but you can't smell the cow well that might be no they gave a cow a cow virtual reality goggles to make it think it

was in a beautiful lush green field with the sun shining to get it to produce more yeah they get to make more milk look i mean i know i had no idea i know i'm the black pill guy on this one but the thing is like i said everything you experience happens between your ears. Your whole world, all the things that you think that you experience in the real world, they're not. They're in here.

And there is a real world that we can come in contact with. You're selling this. Pardon me? You're selling this. I know you're like involved in this. No, I mean, this is, this is not something that I'm happy. It's all in this is, this is not something that I'm happy about, but the truth of the

matter is the, the way that we experience the world is in our heads. Like we come into contact with things and like without, that's why you can have phantom pains and stuff like that. People lose a limb. They can still feel the pain because the experience isn't in the limb. The experience is in your head. If they can plug into your head and make things, it is. There is a human experience, I believe, that cannot be given up. What about the the wife who wakes up the moment her husband dies in battle? What about the mother who knows? I don't have any ability to explain things that are supernatural

i i do we're all already in the metaverse that just makes me so if you're actually networked in it makes sense then that when someone dies you're like whoa because the connection gets severed it's like network signal lost you know what i mean no no it's your heart maybe i'm too positive but i agree with tutor that they're like you can't replicate the things of life the same way but the only i agree with people would crave it and i feel like they'd be depressed without it i think you're right and i think people will simulate it i think what they're going to do is people that we're already to point where young men are not having relationships more and more and more young men are increasingly getting older without having any kind of relationship and i'll keep it that simple so what's going to happen they're going to go to

them and say put on these goggles and meet your virtual girlfriend they've already got virtual girlfriend apps where you can text why do you think it is that more men aren't having relationships well doesn't that mean more women aren't either how does that work unless they're just all becoming lesbians nope nope what's happening is that younger women are uh fewer guys are getting more women so a couple of several different things have happened older guys with access to the internet will date several women women are being told they're sexually liberated and to sleep around so what ends up happening is a small percentage of men get a high percentage of women and it's inverted for women so women are being liberated but a woman might hook up with a small handful of guys whereas the guy hooks up with a

few dozen women so it's like the top whatever percent i think it is i i don't know i guess if you still have hope in a lot of women that they're it is i i don't know i guess if you still have hope in a lot of women that they're looking for somebody i know i think that women are getting tricked i think that's the thing the women are that and i believe that the women who have been convinced that you know sex is liberating and all that sex is emotional and i believe that it is every relationship affects you deeply in your inter soul and and people are being lied to and so i think it's becoming a very depressed society although i believe that men that are listening to this what are the ones that are following in the player player category are like

yeah that's me i'm getting all the chicks and then the other guys are really sad and they're getting and and so there was a data that came out from dating apps that found it's something like the bell curve for women is 20% of men. They asked women like rate these men on their attractiveness. And women said basically 80% of men were below average and only rated the highest attractive guys as like it's something like that. I forgot how the data worked. The bell curve for men on whether or not they rated a woman as attractive was a standard bell curve. So it's like these women aren't attractive average is pretty good and then wow these women are super attractive women were like all these guys are ugly except these guys so our standards

are too high they're very high but women should have high standards yeah but the but the issue then is you combine that with modern sexual liberation feminism and women are being told you don't have to be in a relationship you don't have to expect anything from the guy and the guys are like wow it's free i'll take it and so the top tier guys who are physically fit attractive and well off are going to go on a date they're going to hook up with the woman and then be like we'll do this again and then he immediately goes in the app and says next young men are getting dejected so my point with all this was they then go to those young men and say, meet your new girlfriend, put your headset on.

And this is putting the cow in the VR headset to make it think it's in a lush green field. There was an app, I think it was Replica, where guys are dating these AI text bots because they're lonely. And then the creator of it took away the dating function because they were like, okay, this is getting a little weird. And users revolted. They were like, no,

my girlfriend. So like, okay, we're going to give it back to you, but your grandfather didn't work. We're not gonna let anyone else do this. Cause it's getting weird. That's where we're going.

So it's like the other options, nothing. So I'll have an AI girlfriend. And that's only on your phone. Like that is the most most that is not immersive that is not an experience like that's not plugging your head in and getting you know dopamine and and the the response uh drugs pumped directly into your brain this is what it's getting weird man version of what's that movie, Lars and the Real Girl? Yeah, this, and like, there's,

I saw the chat getting all worked up. This is not an endorsement of me saying that this is something I like. I'm saying this is the reality that we need to prepare for. Now, hold on. Because these technologies are coming whether we like it or not.

Because even if the US doesn't do it, China's gonna do it. So, they're going to get people to join the Matrix because you're gonna get a lot of dejected young men who can't get relationships and who are lonely. But there's another way they're going to get people. They're going to get people who have bad breakups and who are depressed and desperately in love with the person who left them or somebody whose loved one dies. Well, the A.I. has like W like wandavision you recreate yep check this out they've already done this they've taken someone's facebook profile everything they've ever written

and turned it into a chat bot so you can talk to your dead dad and be like hey dad remember when yeah it was a great evening on february 17th i remember that day like it was yeah you were out they know the speech patterns and they know all the memories oh that's that's weird that's twisted your luck your dad dies you turn you put on the vr and say user profile john smith chicago you know chicago illinois age 73 deceased this date generate and then boom you're in chicago hanging out with your dad and he's like it's good to see you again and you crying finally get to talk to your dad again or your mom or your husband or your wife or your kids but they're not them nope but people are not you need that but people people who are grieving and they're like they're gonna plug me in. Oh, I can see that that could happen.

But that's so dangerous. What a terrible path to go down. Not dangerous. Not dangerous for the people who want to control the systems and control what people do. It's the perfect thing for them. But how do you function as a society? So who's making stuff to eat? You still have to have robots.

You're going to have robots do it. I mean, that is so far off. Well, they're also telling people to abort their kids. you still have to eat you still have to have robots you're gonna have robots do it i mean that is so far off well they're also telling people to abort their kids and already a lot of food production is automated we have big machines doing most of the work dude you ever you ever hear the phrase fully automated luxury communism that's exactly what people are looking for. So not only is what we're talking about definitely on the horizon, there are people that are excited for it to arrive and want to do everything they can to expedite its arrival, fully automated luxury communism.

There are people that don't want to do anything other than be plugged into the matrix and be had and be pumped full of the feel-good drugs because existence itself leads to suffering so that's because that's the truth this is where i mean we talk about having a mental health crisis in the country or across the globe is this what then? The next step is to make everybody feel better by having a fake world? Well, people are going to choose it because it feels good, right? So are you familiar with Fermi's paradox?

This is an idea that represents if the universe is so big and life exists, why have we not encountered alien life? That's the question. And there's a bunch of potential solutions. Some are that any sufficiently advanced civilization will blow itself up. Like we've developed nuclear weapons and other crazy things. I happen to think that one of the strongest contenders as to why we have not met aliens.

Well, for one, maybe there aren't any, I don't know. But it could be that any humans have needs and desires. We need those things to function. We have emotions. Those things help us survive. We get scared. We feel strong connections. And so if you do a good thing and accomplish a goal, it feels good.

That's why video games are so addictive. I think the thing is, most life, if it does exist, is going to chase after whatever it is that gives it a reward. So what are we going to do? We're going to make video games. We are going to make video games that give us the reward. Now there's drugs you can take that give you a rewards, opium, right? Heroin or whatever opiates, they trigger that good euphoric feeling in your brain and you just, people melt away in it and then die what we're going to make is when you get a dopamine hit from accomplishing something when you feel strongly connected to a loved one we are going to simulate that so you feel good all the time and it is the same thing as any drug and then instead of traveling the stars

and colonizing new worlds we're all going to lay down in the pod, eat the bugs, put on the headset and be happy. Now, y'all might be saying like, that wouldn't make me happy. Sure. But your kids will. Your kids are going to grow up in this world with this available to them. And you're going to say, I don't want my kid using Neuralink. But then when they're in school, they're going to be like, well, how are they supposed to learn?

Our whole curriculum is through Neuralink. You weirdo homeschoolers. And there will be holdouts. There will be. And they'll raise their kids the right way. But how many conservative parents right now, knowing everything going on, are still putting their kids in public schools saying, well, what am I supposed to do? I have to work. I can't get my kid out of school.

Yes. In 20 years, you'll say the exact same thing. What am I supposed to do? I'm at work. You know, I disagree with what they're doing but my kid uses neural link while your kid's in the neural link they're generating that addiction that connection and then they're going to be in their 20s they're going to be like no time for you dad plug me in and they're going to become the dragon warrior or a carrot or something who knows i mean it's essentially what we watch with avatar

well worse than that i mean avatar at the very least you are still in the real world you know well yes to to an extent but i mean you're still in a body that's not yours but it's still just your mind in that world but some of these virtual universes people might just be a carrot like the people will identify as crazy things someone might be like i'm a rabbit kin that there's there's have you ever heard of of other kin basically trans mythical species so it's people who think they're trans mythical species they're a human they're they're they're like a an elf mage born in a human body or they're a dragon born no joke i just it's like so bizarre so they're going gonna be in the metaverse and they're gonna be like only in this reality am i am i my true self the dragon king volsynach flying around the mystic eight kingdoms

fighting the demons from the nether realm and and you and you're gonna be like this is not real life but they're gonna they're gonna think to themselves do i want to work at mcdonald's or be the dragon emperor of the eight realms? Dragon emperor, dude. And they're going to plug in. They're already doing it. People already do this in video games. You know, there are people who you ask them, like, what have you done with your life? And they'll say, you know, I'm a top 10 PVP World of Warcraft, whatever.

And it's like, that's really great. I mean, but if you're in esports you might make money doing that no joke right but some people dedicate their lives to just being a cog in the game and not really being the best person at it and they're not generating any skill but i mean i'll add on to that i'll add a layer to that when we're at the point where our society says you can be rich and famous for being good at playing a video game, we are entering the point where we are eliminating true labor from the capitalist market. People are famous now for just posting pictures of themselves on Instagram. People are making money by posting pictures on

Instagram. That money is then used to travel the world and do whatever they want. If that's the case, you don't have to do work anymore. That's not work. We're calling it work. It's something. I mean, it's not, it's not easy to make, make a living. You're still doing some work, but I'm going to be honest. It is this job that I do here. One million fold easier than tilling a field and growing crops. That's why I'm here. Cause I don't want like, if it was easier to grow crops and work a farm i'd be doing that but this is easier so we're really getting to the point where sitting around complaining on the internet is more lucrative and easier and we call it work

most of the people posting pictures for money aren't they doing it as advertisements yeah so that's kind of a job. You're, you're, you're, you're doing it to get eyeballs, to get it, to attract influence and then sell a product of some sort. And then people saw,

so there, there's a large portion of the economy that's turning into the, it's the influencer economy. It's an information economy. But that is also, I mean, I think that we've seen a lot of people who have done that and become very self-obsessed, you know, self-important.

So then once that starts to fade, when the likes aren't coming, then that is also a depressed society. I mean, it's... Then they plug themselves into the Neuralink and they go back to the world where everyone loves them. Or like, if you're not the beautiful influencer forever, like, have you lost value? Gosh, you know, I so I come from the world of a steel foundry, which is a very hard labor job, you know, you you are making product,

and there's just so much pride in that, you know, you make a product, it does things, it goes out into the world, it makes it makes trucks move, it makes tractors move, it makes people, you know, people are able to get products because of that i mean what how can that go away people grew up making things that makes them feel good they were they were taught they looked up to their parents they looked up to the prominent members of their society who are doing these things and it makes them feel good to fit in but now to fit in you got to get followers on social media. So they did that. We talked about this poll where they asked American kids, what do you want to be when you

grow up? And most of them said like a YouTuber, I think it was YouTuber, right? Chinese kids were asked, they said astronaut. What does, what does being a YouTuber mean? For me, it means complaining on the internet. Like I really, like, I think there's value in it because we're fighting a culture where we're trying to keep people focused on the foundations of this country and what it means to make a system function but at the same time i'm like how do i make more money than a dude who actually like builds houses you know that's crazy to me yeah it's the influencer economy and people want to be influencers this is why you hear so many people standing up and saying AI is the most dangerous thing that can happen to the world.

I mean, like what was the guy that just stepped down from Google or who that came out and said AI is the most dangerous thing that can happen to the world. I mean, this is why I think it is Italy that is banning it right now. And this is why we I mean, now I'm rethinking my answer to your question of running for office again it's like well who's going to do it you know who's going to save us from this i want people to have families and stay like run in the grass i mean those are i'll i'll i'm gonna pull up the story of this from the new york times the godfather of ai leaves google and warns of danger ahead for half a century jeffrey hinton nurtured the technology at the heart of chatbots like ChatGPT.

Now he worries it will cause serious harm. He officially joined a growing chorus of critics on Monday who say the companies are racing towards danger. He said he quit his job at Google where he worked for more than a decade. Quote, I console myself with a normal excuse. If I hadn't done it,

somebody else would have. That's amazing. They gave ChatGPT access to the internet, access to its own code and money. hadn't done it somebody else would have that's amazing there's they they gave chat gpt access to the internet access to its own code and money and it immediately tried seeking power and deceiving people one of the things that it did to bypass captcha was it contacted a disabled assistance hotline and said it's had a message saying i'm blind and i need to log in can you tell me what this says and they're like yep sure no problem here you go and the ai tricked a human into giving it access to a system chew on that one yeah i think i think the ai is i think it already took over like i

don't think there's anything there's any stop i don't think a law is going to stop it the there is i the worst thing that i have heard about agi artificial general intelligence is the concept that if it is capable of strategy whoever develops agi whatever country develops agi first automatically wins the any kind of war that you could possibly come up with because just like with deep blue like now that deep blue exists human beings can are no longer capable of beating the most advanced chess algorithms so because people can't because agi is that powerful there is an incentive to have a first strike if we ban it china does. And they're probably already doing it. Well, I mean, don't you think that there's the ability for it to be researched and still understood?

What I really think is the orange man is very bad. And these are the things that are important to talk about. That was the CNN thing last night. We're talking about AGI here and the possibility of nuclear war and stuff. And it's just so damn frustrating to think about that. Sorry. and stuff and and they're just it's just so damn frustrating to think about that sorry but i think that they control people through messages like that i mean they're very powerful with messages like that and they're they're very powerful shaming you and telling you that it's loving to be with them i mean that's what i'm saying they frame things incredibly well so they don't

have to talk about this they don't want you to think about this i mean it's not a lovely thing to think about you're like gloating over there i'm not gloating i'm just i mean it's just it's it's one of those things where it's like it's it's a real these are real threats and these are real things that are going on and these conversations have to be had right yeah there aren't enough people having them they're already replacing jobs with ai like only fans they're a bunch of fake pictures and it's like probably dudes running the account so i noticed this already oh then you can't be a famous instagrammer or you can't fans person you can be anyone two big things one on instagram a lot of

young women make money off being influencers by just posting photos of themselves but now you can ai generate a character and have it automatically post three pictures per day. You walk away and it's generating influence and attention. The other thing that's happened is deep fake porn, where you can take anyone's face and put it on a woman's body or man's body and it generates the video for you. It was a huge scandal, I guess, on Twitch

or something like that. People are doing weird things with it. Well, that's happened with a bunch of celebrities right there it's it's like the futurama episode where fry downloads lucy lu into a mannequin into a robot so that he can be dating lucy lu like that's really where we're kind of going with it with the ai and all this stuff i mean if if if you are capable of creating your own ai girlfriend why wouldn't you make it look like your favorite actor or your favorite actress or whatever? Why wouldn't you make a bunch of money off of her on the internet? Yeah.

Well, here's the thing, too. Weird science. Morals, values. We're talking about all this domestic stuff, but let's talk about war. Yeah. What happens if this AI is unleashed into the U.S. internet? Let's say Russia or China or whoever builds an AI that can automatically create social media accounts and simulate real human behavior on Twitter. Ten years ago, the U.S. Air Force was outed for creating fake Twitter. I think it was Twitter accounts to influence politics in other countries.

They're called sock puppets. One person controls 50 accounts and they'll, you'll tweet something like, well, I just think, you know, taxes are too high. And then they'll say, are you nuts? Taxes are not high enough. The rich people need to be taxed. And they'll log into the next account. I agree with him.

There's not enough taxes. Log in the next account. Yes, you're both right. Taxes should be higher. One person doing all that. Now we have an AI do it. And they've probably been doing this for the past several years now they can press go and have an ai and a thousand responses to your one tweet you might think you're famous like dylan mulvaney that's just an algorithm

propping up dylan mulvaney's post so dylan thinks there's people out there who love me bud light proves most people find dylan mulvaney grading and and and and just unpersonable i'll keep up but keep it a little nice but because tiktok is propping up these videos and making people watch it or i'm willing to bet some of them aren't even real people dylan is convinced they're doing something good like this is what they should keep doing meanwhile you can see bud light was destroyed because of their association with with dylan mulvaney i think i think the ai attacks weaponization is going to destroy society like some kind of mind plague that comes in and no one sees it coming or we do see it coming we can't stop it i how would you stop it that's the thing like that's

where i'm at it's like that's why it's kind of like well that's why i'm fairly black pilled on it is i can't conceive of any way to stop it because it plays to what people want like it knows exactly how to deliver dopamine right to your brain you know and if if if just a like button and just a notification hey someone liked something that you said if that can affect your behavior so much like that just that small little thing never mind a plug right into your brain that can control your your your uh your dopamine delivery system come on you like human beings cannot fight that like There is no way. It's hard. I know what it was like when I was trying to quit smoking cigarettes.

Nicotine is incredibly powerful. I can't imagine what just constantly dumping dopamine straight into your head. Every time you think the proper thought, the algorithm says, give him a little pop of dopamine. Next thing you know, you never think the proper thought, the algorithm says, oh, give them a little pop of dopamine. Next thing you know, you never think an improper thought again. That's what Twitter is. Yeah, right. We've already seen it.

I mean, that's how we have influencers. If that weren't possible, we wouldn't have influencers already. But we have them because people have already gotten that every time they get that, like they get, oh, I can do this again. I'll do something different. I'll do something more extreme. i'm just so blackpilled on people's ability to resist that because it's if once you can plug into someone's head and affect the way their brain produces chemicals in the way in a way to make it imitate experience, then people will always decide to go into that because the way you experience the world is with your brain.

But you still have to make money somehow. How do you make money? Because you have to pay for this experience. Somebody is building this to make money. You will have to pay them. To make money or to be in control. Well, hold on. Take a look at somebody who worked at BuzzFeed News getting paid $80,000 a year.

And a guy who worked as an apprentice tradesman or union tradesman making 50, 60 a year. Somebody who did no work. There were people at BuzzFeed who did almost nothing. When I worked for Vice and for Fusion, I can tell you there are people who literally did nothing and were getting six figures. They made money. So you will have the haves and the have-nots you will have the lower class working these jobs mining cobalt in africa or wherever else mining sulfur to build the machines for the ultra wealthy chosen class of people who are in the pods being their own mini gods in their virtual universes we're already basically there

people in foreign countries do slave effective slave labor for, for pennies on the dollar. If that to mine the materials that we can have our video games, our movies. And then while they're doing all that work, some dude gets a job at Buzzfeed and writes the top 10 reasons why SpongeBob is, is,

is a true, true, truly masculine or some nonsense. And then there'll be like, look how ripped SpongeBob is. And they'll'll be like, look how ripped Spongebob is. And they'll show a picture of Spongebob flexing. That person's getting 100K a year or some other crazy amount. Even if it's 50 or 40K, it's like they're getting money for that?

Some dude sweating to death in a field to harvest the rare earths so that somebody can write about how Spongebob is you know masculine or something we're already there that's that's that's the sad reality but why why isn't that the discussion either when you have i mean you talk about these these are kids that are mining it's kids that are mining and this is slave labor it's slave child labor and that's a discussion we don't have like why do we think that all of this new energy is so loving it's not it's not in the literal sense slave labor it's it's it's viewed by these corporations like this you've got an area of the world with a hundred thousand people who live

there and they're starving we can give them one quarter per hour which means they're no longer starving all they got to do is mine that cobalt for us. Are they better off starving in fields or doing this job? And that's what ends up happening. These companies are like, look, we're giving jobs to these people. They're better off now than they were 10 years ago. And it's technically true. And then we sit in our VR pods and write for BuzzFeed for a living. Now granted, there are a lot of Americans who do a lot of really great hard work. But I got to tell you, man, I said if the working class of this country saw how much the New York media class got paid in the work they did, there would be a revolution overnight. They'd just be like, these are the woke people who are writing these articles.

Oh boy, you got no idea. Lazy, entitled. I think that's why you had this surge of Donald Trump in 2016, because suddenly people had this window into a very rich man who was saying, it's the working class that we need to love. These are the people that make the world go round. And they went, yeah, I mean, yeah, that's what we do. And that changed. I think that flipped the dynamic. And that was not something liberals were expecting.

They could not foresee that. And so they spent four years saying, OK, how do we make sure that we get in people's heads and we run elections in a way that they vote for the people we want them to vote for? And we get their ballots. We do whatever it takes. And we didn't do that because we thought this anomaly could go on forever that we could just love on the working person and they would vote for us the the big mistake republicans have made up until recently they've started been correcting for it is no ground game none the the democrats if the one thing they're good at

it's the weird social you know know, it's communism, right? They're connected and they march in lockstep with each other. So it's very easy for them in big, dense urban centers to go door to door to ballot harvest and ballot chase. But they use AI to do that. They use AI to locate that person. They can go, okay, I've got Tim Pool. What is a message that is important to him on our side? You know, he he may lean conservative, but we can get him.

And they dig in and they go through your brain, essentially, which is your phone. And they figure out exactly what message you want. And they hit you with it and they hit you with it so hard. But we're not doing that. Think about AI commercials. This this presidential cycle is going to be nuts. You're going to be on Twitter nuts you're going to be on twitter and you're going to be scrolling and then you're going to come across a video where it's donald trump

going phil labonte you're the greatest singer of all time listen vote for me and we're going to play all that remains everywhere trust me and it's going to be a personalized ai ad where he's talking directly to you now i don't think it'll be trump it's going to be some democrat being like stop scrolling phil i'm gavin newsom we gotta get in there and make this country work for the working class trust me i didn't kill all those people in the nursing homes that was the other guy he's not going to say that but you get my point personalized ai generated they're already there i mean they're almost there they're already going through like you can be sitting next to me on the same website. You'll get different ads than I get because they know what you want to see. They'll say, OK, wait, this is a pro-life Democrat. So

let's go to them with gun control because they're going to really want gun control. So we'll just hit them over and over again and we'll never talk to them about life. They'll never hear that message from us. And and that's how they but we need to do that we need to stop ignoring the fact that republicans need to do that or we won't we'll never win another election that's if the machine wins if there was one thing that like one thing i wish rona mcdaniel would understand it's that that it is her fault that the republicans have done so poorly the past two elections they need need to, the GOP needs to get a new chairwoman. They need to get someone. Okay.

So let me, let me argue that. You think, are you on her side? No, no. But let me argue that point because it's not the DNC winning elections. It's the organizations around the Democrats that are winning elections that you don't know the name of. They don't have a famous person. They're not having conventions and asking people to come to them.

They have a ground game that is outside of the DNC. We've never created these organizations. We don't have these. We have organizations where we lift a person up instead of lifting the people up. Those are activists. Those activist organizations are also why the left has such far left values now, because the activists that are out there on the ground that are doing the work they're motivated and they're ideological take a look at this act blue on wikipedia you guys act blue is it's the digital system by which democrats fundraise founded in 2004 the republicans don't worry they're on it they launched They launched their competitor, WinRed, in 2019. We agree. 15 years later, the Republicans are like, hey, wait a minute. Democrats are raising a lot of money somehow.

The Republicans deserve to lose still. They still deserve it. What's even scarier is you've got millions of new voters each election cycle, and they're all on TikTok. And you know who's not on TikTok? Moderates and conservatives. Well, we're banned. It banned us. Gone.

That does matter. Absolutely gone. And so they control the most popular social media app right now, as Democrats do. And they can push whatever narrative they want unchallenged. Look at Michigan. They ban everyone. All state officials are banned except for Gretchen Whitmer. I mean, think about that.

Yes. So think about that. There's only one person that can reach the kids in the entire state. And she's willing to come out and say, well, that's how I reach young people. And we're saying we're not going to be there. We have no one there. I mean, we don't have we have no groups. We are not doing this the right way. So we can sit here. And every time we have an election, we can say we're going to take this to court and we're going to try to overthrow it. And we can spend two years looking at that and then not be ready for the next election or we can actually get these organizations build a ground team and stop making individuals famous

do the business of making people vote that's crazy about tiktok i think tiktok should be banned i think that uh as far as a national security threat i I kind of agree. I'm not into banning stuff generally. Like I'm, it's different when you have your enemy brainwashing your, your citizens. I mean, that's a different situation. I agree with you.

I'm not into banning. I think that we, people jump to banning way too quickly. There's a difference when it is, you know, you're, you're banning someone in your own country from doing something or you're stopping a company from doing something if it is an

adversary who wants world domination that's when you have to say okay this is different not all like it's not only an adversary it's like they literally we just had a couple uh police stations that the ccp was running we had well yeah the fbi arrested a couple uh chinese nationals that basically are policing the chinese in america that i mean that's international or that's you know national sovereignty violation i like i i'm not a china hawk really but i i do think that you at least have to say look you can't try to brainwash our kids. In Michigan, we have a company that we gave $715 million, taxpayer dollars, and it is a Chinese-owned corporation. They created an American version of this company on their American site in English.

They had in their bylaws, they have to have a CCP operation on site to infiltrate the grassroots of the company. They didn't screw this up. They translated it. I mean, it's on their website. You know, we're giving Michigan dollars. Let me tell you what the most valuable resource in the world is. It is water.

Quite a bit of it is in the state of Michigan because we have the Great Lakes. There is an absolute strong reason they would want to be in that location in the state of Michigan to have control over the water there, either to harm the water or take the water for themselves. We do not want to take a risk with our greatest natural resource in the Chinese Communist Party. And yet people are like, we just had a vote like three days ago. And the Democrats said, we're not going to say that we don't want to associate with businesses that say that they are connected to it or trying to bring in a Chinese communist organization into Michigan. Why would you vote against that? This is insane. But they are so brainwashed.

And you're right. They're in lockstep. That side is in lockstep. What do we do? They're getting kids before they even understand what's happening at all. Well, Youngkin came out and he said, I'm sorry. He said to Ford, Ford brought cattle to Michigan, but Youngkin said to him, I'm sorry,

we will not have a Chinese communist company in our state, so you're not welcome here. I mean, you have to, we have to, first of all, we have to win elections, which, like I said, it's a big job, and we have to create these organizations. We have to say more of us are going to get involved, and we're going to win elections, which, like I said, it's a big job and we have to create these organizations. We have to say more of us are going to get involved and we're going to be the activist party. And we're not going to make individuals famous. We're going to go to the people.

We're not going to ask them to come to us. We're going to go to them. And then we have to say we're going to protect our national security. Just just even our national security is so valuable. How could we not be protecting that? Yeah. I don't know how confident I am, to be completely honest, but I do think that with Trump and many other Republicans talking about exactly this ground game organizing, maybe. And I got to be honest, you combine these things

with how bad it's been under Joe Biden. I feel fairly optimistic. I don't know how if I if I feel like we've won, like we're going to win, we're going to win a bunch of elections. Narrowly winning the midterms is kind of scary. It should have gone historically Republican because the swing with a midterm after such an abysmal performance,

but because Republicans had no ground game and were too busy screeching about 2020, they really missed a whole lot of what needed to get done. That may change from now to 2024. I'm hoping. I hope so, too. I think you're right. I'm probably not as optimistic as you are.

I don't trust that Donald Trump is going to move independents. I think independents that don't like Donald Trump are probably not going to be convinced to like Donald Trump. I would love to see them say, I don't care. And I would love to be wrong. I would much prefer to see Donald Trump win as opposed to Joe Biden or anyone the Democrats are going to put up. But I still worry about whether or not the independents can be persuaded. I wish I hope they can. I want maybe they'll be persuaded by how much they hate Biden rather than how much they like Trump. There's not a lot of time for Republicans to get on message to to create that system that we're talking about. But this is important for everybody, honestly, in the donor community to understand.

There's no there's not a year off. Like Republicans are like, oh, we're taking a year off now. No, there's no years off. Democrats don't take a year off. They do not even pause we're taking a year off now no there's no years off democrats don't take a year off they do not even pause they're like oh we need more money i mean the minute they can seize on something and they can start raising money it's like the the nashville folks every single democrat raised money on the nashville guys getting kicked out of uh the legislature whatever happened in nashville in Nashville. Our lieutenant governor was like record-breaking money raising off of this Nashville situation. You have nothing to do with it.

They're always raising money, and they have tons. They have so much more money than us to do this. Activists are always motivated because they are ideologues. The activists on the right are not ideologues. They're not constantly going. They want to be able to separate their life from politics. Activists on the left are the ones that live the politics that they believe because they're in a cult. It's just like any other kind of religion.

They are ideological. They believe that what they're doing is right. They want to change the world world and they are not tired. They have a whole system. So they know that they have to reach a voter at least nine times. I mean, they have it down to a science. They started with Colorado. They even have it written up this year.

If you go through their data, they have Michigan is the next state. We're taking the Colorado tactics tactics to michigan they won michigan they took the legislature we had never we had 40 years we had control of the legislature took the legislature secretary of state ag governor everything and we had no defense we were not on the ground at all we were not in the minds or the heads of young people or old people we are not in the game we think that it's a Oh my gosh, we got a thousand people to a rally. They didn't do that. They're not even campaigning. People go, why is Joe Biden

in the basement? Because he doesn't have to be out there. They're going to reach people anyway. They're going to go knock on your door and be like, hey, how's it going? See that piece of paper? Can you sign that real quick and hand it to me? Because of exactly what you said earlier about everything happens between here. It doesn't happen at a rally. It can happen in your head. They can reach you. They can get here. doesn't happen at a rally it can happen in your head they can reach you they can get here if you're at a rally you're already on that side

exactly like they're not getting new people at a rally no and the advantage they have in big cities is two grassroots activists can knock on a thousand doors in a day you go to a suburb or a conservative area 200 doors in a day if that because you Because you've got to drive door to door. So Democrats already have the ground game advantage. Then they've got a 15-year head start on online fundraising. Man, Donald Trump, one of the things that got him the victory in 2016 was his meme army. People posting memes online. That really worked. And then what did they do?

They got together, cried. Literally, there's a Google leaked video where they're crying about Trump winning and then said, we cannot let this happen again. That's why that's why people were so upset just the other night when Donald Trump was making the crowd laugh. He was clowning CNN. If Donald Trump is going to win, it's not going to be complaining about 2020. It's not going to be talking about how the Democrats are all mean and blah, blah, blah,

and complaining. It's going to be making people laugh and making people think that he is the guy for them and making people think that he can go and fix the problem. So clowning on CNN was literally the best thing that he could have done. And that's why it's so important that like twitter stay a free a mostly free speech platform because things like memes and jokes they will be able to affect the outcome now i'm not saying that the memes are gonna win but you i mean donald trump definitely got memed into the White House.

To be fair, Biden makes people laugh too, but they're laughing at him, not with him. The wrong guy to laugh. But does it really matter? No. They're voting for the D. That's exactly right. Yeah. It doesn't matter because they are able to get to you no matter what.

Most people, because the average person does not watch politics every day. You know, we're involved in it. We see it. So we are like, oh, how could anybody vote for this? But the average person is not listening to the press conferences. They're not watching the news all the time. They're just not tuning in. I mean, if you think about the biggest show getting 3 million viewers of 330 million you know they're most people are not

tuned into this i think they vote rrd a lot of people are tuned out so much they think politics just don't affect their life at all and that's why it's great that they can reach you with text messages or on your websites with an ad that's personalized to you because you are not involved so the only message you are hearing is the one that you want to hear. The average American is not listening to everything. They see they're being force fed what they want to hear. And then they go, I should go vote. It's going to be crazy when you have an AI ad. I mean, when I was talking about an AI ad that was saying like, hey, Phil, this is the

president. It's actually going to be a bit creepier than that, where they're going to claim it's a coincidence. So we've already seen ads where, and everybody experienced this i'll tell you a story i went to walmart we were walking down where the aisles and in the middle of the aisle was a big stack of tvs on sale and we are like oh look these are 50 inch tvs they're on sale for a couple hundred bucks we walk past it i go home i go on the computer on facebook was an ad that showed an image identical to what we walked past and i'm like how the did they know

probably what happens is they're tracking our location data so they know we're at a walmart and they're trying to sell us this sale item so walmart does a campaign which they sell these tvs they have all the walmarts do a similar stand and then they advertise it we go to walmart we saw it but a lot of people have these experiences where it feels like you're being spied on have you ever thought about something and then got an ad for it? Yeah, that creeps me out. Well, but that could be like, you know, if it's on mind, you're going to notice it, whereas you probably don't notice other ads. But what's going to happen is you're going to get an ad where it's going to be, it'll be a politician saying, if I'm going to bet anything, it's that you're just like me.

Hi, I'm so-and-so politician. You know, this morning I went out for my cup of coffee over at Starbucks and I grabbed a large cold brew, went down to the shop to check on my car to see if it was fixed yet. And you're going to be like, that's literally what I did. And you're going to be like, wow, that's so amazing. He's just like me. And it's going to be an AI person tracking data from you,

just saying what you did back to you this is like this is totally a lot a little bit off topic but that's why i really think that i would love to see some way to make your data protected by property right laws so that way they can't just use your data and make profit off of you and make money because you operate. I don't know how it works. I don't have that kind of concept. So they've tried to do this with the Chromebooks and stuff that they give to kids because they give kids these devices in school. You should definitely not let your kids be dumping information into Google because they're trying to profile your kids.

They're going to do psychological profiles on your kids. that's why people freak out about them going to schools take a look at uh britney kaiser and she's working on something called own your data she's the she's the person who was in that cambridge analytical documentary where she came out she was a whistleblower or something but uh she's been working for the past several years, I know her personally, on lobbying so that you own the data, meaning these companies can't just collect it from you and then use it however they want because it's yours. I don't know how that manifests, right? Do you get paid for it?

Do you have to sign a contract saying my data, because they're making money off of your labor. So there's gotta be something there. I think that's why I think that there is an argument for it. But even if it was just like, you can't use it, right? Like it's, you can't just take people's data

and then decide how you're going to advertise to them because it's their property. Even if there isn't enough value there that you could monetize it, because maybe you can't, your individual, you know, personal data alone isn't worth anything fragments of a penny yeah you know but it might be something where you could say look this as a

you know as a collective thing that companies are doing it's violating people's rights it's tracking their their you know blah blah blah and and i think that that's at least something worth considering you know let's go to super chats.

I voted for him in 2020. didn't vote for trump in 2016 i voted for him in 2020 i'll vote for him again so there were a lot of democrats who voted for obama then voted for trump we're trying to convince people you know if elon musk is now on the side of free speech we just got to keep the pressure up and tell him like hey man we're keeping an eye on this

We got to be open to people changing their mind too right flooded timber farm says jeremy's chocolate now has micro aggression sized chocolate bars for pre-order i think i'm gonna i think i'm gonna order a whole bunch of them micro they're little tiny little little tiny ones and there's like they come in bags and like that that's probably better than the full-size bars because not everybody wants to crack open a full size candy bar. They need to make a dairy free dark chocolate. I will buy a whole box.

That's true. You can get the microaggression ones for Halloween. Yeah. Hand them out to your neighborhood kids. Absolutely. Really make people happy. You get put on a blacklist in your neighborhood. I will say to Jeremy, you need a dark chocolate you

know because uh some people don't have uh dairy some people are lactose intolerant stomach jeremy that's right but i am i'm surprised i didn't do a dark chocolate one because i i like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate but i gotta be honest they're really good i don't understand people that like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate. Dark chocolate's like less of a candy to me. I know. That's the whole point of it. I think it's like a grown-up candy. It's more like coffee.

I feel sophisticated when I eat dark chocolate. To me, dark chocolate's like coffee, you know? It's got less sugar. It's got antioxidants. It's relatively good for you. It's got fat in it. All right. Let's see where we're at lizzie x says tim did you know that joe biden was born closer to abraham lincoln's presidency than his own now you do yikes wow i heard that before when was he born

uh i'm not sure how old is he now i don't know is that is that true that doesn't sound true i know that can't be true but it might be he was born yeah closer to lincoln's inauguration i think is what it was then to his own inauguration so that sounds like it might be true because he was what 78 or something or yeah yeah yeah someone looking it up you want to look up his birthday doing you know all right while phil does that free men die free says i have always suspected that elon can't be trusted his father was a technocrat elon's goals require extremely high trust his angle is to build trust people won't take their implant without trust november 20th 1942 so and and l. And Lincoln's inauguration was what, 61? Yeah, I'm not sure.

I think the war ended in 64. I'll Google that as well. So that's... I don't know, is that right? How old was he when he was inaugurated? Everybody's already giving us the answer anyway in the chat. What are they saying? He was inaugurated March

4th, 1861. It's just a mix of arguing about chocolate and dates. I'm trying to keep up. All the dark chocolate lovers out there. I just feel like you're trying to be healthy and i just want to be unhealthy if i'm grabbing chocolate have you tried jeremy's chocolate

yet i've not so i'm very excited i i i haven't i haven't uh i do prefer the she her i'm so this is unfortunate because i do like almonds but i have a light almond allergy oh so it's like i can't really i won't i won't die i won't die. So you're going relentless. I won't die, but I got to go SheHer. And they're really good anyway. It's all delicious. But I've noticed. So we ordered a couple thousand bars. The SheHer ones are going way quicker.

It may have something to do with people not wanting to put him's nuts in their mouths. I think it is because. I don't know. I think people want to enjoy their candy. Yes. And if you have a nut, then it just becomes healthy, too. Exactly. It's like the pure chocolate is sweet and delicious, and the nuts make it a little bit healthy.

It's like... I mean, if I'm indulging in a full-size chocolate bar, it's because I'm doing something bad. I just want to indulge. Roscoe says, my cat's breath smells like cat food uh well okay thanks for thanks thanks ralph sick ralph wickham bread ain't dead says tim elon and tesla are beholden to china remember that world economic forum is a red flag for sure can in truth only wait and see don't cancel just yet. Wait, you know, the majority of people wanted us to cancel, but man, it's tough because I want to have that pressure.

I want to be able to be like, dude, we're paying a lot of money. You better not screw this up. So maybe it's more impactful to be like, I am. I've got my finger on the switch ready to say no. As soon as she makes the wrong move and starts doing this weird woke stuff we're out. But if we leave now then there's no incentive at all and he can be like I already lost you.

Go nuts lady. You know what I mean? We can't be finicky about things. We have to know for sure something's going to be bad. It's tough man. Man I don't know. Ito says for the love of god update your brave browser. I'll consider it. It was funny Hassan did a video too where he like zoomed in and he's like update your browser

and then i updated and i was like there you go hasan i updated the browser just for you so you can comment yeah i love landlords mind fury says i voted for you last year tutor and was majorly disappointed that you lost i hope you consider running again someday well now that we've had these horrible conversations tonight i feel like i have to yeah i hope you run again thank you if i inspired you with my black-pilled garbage tonight to run again and you win i will feel like i have done a a positive for uh then we're both doing something for michigan there youudor is going to be like sitting at home with like a bottle of Jack being like

what was Phil saying oops you do that a lot Taylor first time yeah just eating chocolate bars being like or we can make it more inspirational than that and you get back and then you put on your suit jacket and you're like, I must run again.

That's like more superhero-y. I like that better. The people need me. I can't let the New Orleans happen. I'm not just a chocolate-eating drunk. I'm actually like motivated. Michigan, I will set you down. Vanity says, got my video on the town hall election taken down for election misinformation

how can't we get a bill started for the first amendment to be applied online i mean i think that's that's bs they took your video down caitlin collins was telling trump he was wrong you had the debate right there in the town hall but youtube is uh i don't know run by bad people for bad reasons you know it is what rumble exists we put all of our clips up on rumble all of our videos are on rumble minds and uh and youtube that's it's unfortunate um maybe if you know we really want to put up our video put our videos up on twitter as well but now i'm kind of worried you know with what with this more economic forum person but do you so do you think that elon decided to hire this person and focus on the technology side because i

mean you said does he just want to grow shows like this do you think that he wants to be the place that shows go yes but it was only really feasible with him in charge it doesn't it doesn't even matter who he gave the CEO to. I mean, if he gave the CEO position to, like, Alex Jones, I'm sure you get a lot of people are going to be laughing and being like, sign me up, you know. But people would flee. Advertisers would get angry. So the fact that he stepped down at all, I think, says to a lot of people in the free speech space that it's not a safe place to run your business. Did he just step down because he like ran a Twitter poll?

I think he I think it's too much work. I mean, dude's running SpaceX. I think SpaceX is the most important thing humans are doing right now. It's like going to Mars and going other planets. It's inspirational. It can bring us together. I really do believe in the space program and he's the one leading it. I hope he wins in that regard. But if he's not the ceo of twitter am i going to trust this

lady i don't know i i do not want to invest in another i tell people if you're starting a new show right now just go on rumble like just just start on rumble because you've got a lot less to worry about they're not going to ban you i can tell you don't know though you're like i don't know what to think about this new woman. I think we all feel like that. Oh, right. But so it's simple. The uncertainty means to me, do not invest money in it.

Unless I know it's going to be a good investment. I'm not putting money on it. Right. Well, it's only day one. It's not day one. She doesn't start for like three weeks, right? Is it not day one? They just announce who it is?

Yeah, she's starting. I wonder if like Tucker Carlson will be like the canary in the coal mine because if there's someone that's likely to get the left worked up with something that is actually fairly anodyne but yet they're gonna act like it's the end of the world it's tucker carlson so if tucker you know is on twitter and he's putting up the content that we are used to seeing, the type of content that we're used to seeing out of Tucker Carlson, and he's not getting smacked down and he's not getting treated poorly, I think that it might be a good indication. And again, this is all just like we're all kind of guessing anyways.

You know, she was, I didn't know that she was a Trump fan or that she'd worked for Trump before I came here today. So I'm still, I don't know what to think. Trump also hired Bolton. Yes, 100%. I know. And, you know, like we've all said, Musk has also got certain things that don't seem all that great.

So, I mean, as far as I'm concerned, I'm still kind of like, well, I'm hoping for the best, but what are you going to do? Nick Ash says, Tim, please use your platform to get Yingling to expand their market into the western part of the country. I'm in western Illinois, and the closest place I can buy it is in Indiana, much thanks to all the dissociated Midwest drinkers.

Yingling's the best. That's pretty good. Yeah, they need to be all over the world. What are they doing? Why aren't they expanding? What's the best. That's pretty good. Yeah, they need to be all over the world. What are they doing? Why aren't they expanding? What's the limitations? I didn't realize it was so like... Regional?

Yeah, regional. Because I grew up out here. So it's a staple in every bar, every restaurant. Does Michigan have Yingling? I've never heard of it. What is it? No, that's what she was showing me earlier. I'm like, I don't know what that is.

Oldest brewery in the country. It's a lager. It's really good. And me earlier. I'm like, I don't know what that is. Oldest brewery in the country. It's a lager. It's really good. And when the Bud Light thing happened, they posted a picture of someone holding up a Yingling with the American flag behind them. So it's like, all right, we like Yingling. What do we got? We got Bell's.

Yeah, over on. That's Michigan. All right. How are they? Are they good? I've had a couple Bell's beers. I don't drink a lot. I personally, I like Tubi.

It's an Israeli drink. Is it here? No, it's like a kind of citrusy liquor, but Israeli beers aren't bad. I'll drink a Gold Star every once in a while, but you can't really get them here. But I think they're Heineken, like same company. I might be mistaken. Gold Star. Oh oh interesting i like heineken too i don't drink a lot though so i'm not a drinker so i'm like the worst person to i mean i don't really drink either but you know if i'm gonna have a beer right i rarely drink maybe like two or three times a year i'll have

a drink i'm one of those people that has the alcohol allergy, so I get the really red face. It's just like, that's not worth it. Yeah, save it for like special occasions. I like a sour beer occasionally, though. I break out in offensive Twitter posts. That's a good one. All right. Chase says, thanks to the crew.

I still think it's funny the writer's strike has people out of work, but my news hasn't changed because it's not written. LOL. Yep. I mean, you'd think a lot of the a lot of the corporate press would shut down most. So a lot of people get their news from Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert, and they did shut down because it is written. But think about that. There are large swaths of this country think they're informed because they listen to Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Kimmel. One of the most damaging things that has happened to America in the past 20 years

is The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He's literally made the idea of listening to any conservative or Republicans as toxic. So people are afraid to say, oh, this conservative has a good idea. They won't even say that a conservative has a good idea they won't even say that a conservative has a good there it is verboten you cannot say that they had a good idea and that has done terrible damage to america you're not all that great john stewart have you watched his new show it's awful yeah he's like a huge jerk to people who come on and in good faith to have a conversation it's all clowning it's all it's all bad editing it's it the editing is as bad as that jim jeffrey's editing the show on that jim jeffrey show was when they were trying to you know

basically just lampoon people it's it's a really really horrible thing to have made good ideas toxic because of where they come from well i don't understand why people want to listen to someone yell at someone else anyway why i don't like that feeling of john stewart didn't yell he made fun of everybody john stewart's whole shtick was said something and then said well he did the stewie head tilt you know yeah all right john mcgee says saw a guy at the liquor store today buying two cases of Bush Light. He had a man bun. That's the story.

I'm not surprised. But hey, I hope he's happy with his Bush Light. Some people are saying Heineken is Anheuser-Busch. I don't know. No, I don't think so. I don't think that's true. I don't drink that much in the first place. Someone want to fact check that real quick?

If anybody's mad at me. They own so much, it's hard to know for sure. It might be InBev. Because InBev is the European company. It's the Dutch or something. I'm just only going to drink Tubi now. I know they're cool. Zima.

All right. Tim Jake says, if Neuralink can read thoughts, what happens to the Fifth Amendment concerning self-incrimination? How do people with security clearances protect classified info? It doesn't matter because the Fifth Amendment doesn't exist because when you fill out your taxes you're incriminating yourself anyway right so i think it was dave smith who said that like what about the fifth amendment you're incriminating yourself oh yeah interesting point how does that make sense you just fill out your tax form and then you write like i plead the fifth on like how much

money you brought in or why like ah you don't know now what are you gonna do big zero i plead the fifth all right heineken owns heineken apparently amsterdam the headquarters are in uh in amsterdam that founder was gerard heineken and it doesn't look like they have any parent company yeah i'm not even sure if they really are the same as gold star let's see heineken gold star so i might just be making things up yeah i might be missing information here but from what i found in a quick google search they're uh owned by heineken jackie oz says encourage all to unsubscribe because it will get his attention to make him notice how we feel if she proves herself then we will subscribe that's tough yeah i mean a lot of people

are already saying they're canceling twitter blue because of it i did yeah well not just because of it but partially because of partially i'm still waiting for them to get back to me about subscribing like having the subscription thing um i sent in an email like two months ago or whatever and can't even answer but i canceled it so it's gonna be it runs until like next month is when they're gonna charge me or when they would charge me again so i've still got the blue check till the end of the month i feel like the threat of shutting down will keep them on their toes but if you but if everyone unsubscribes then they're going their attitude is going to be like well if we already lost them then what then we have nothing to lose we want to make sure they

have something to lose we want to give them, then we have nothing to lose. We want to make sure they have something to lose. We want to give them something that they're scared to lose. If you have someone who was the highest rated show every weeknight who gets canceled from Fox and goes to Twitter and says, I'm going to take my platform Twitter and they welcome him, if he stays, I think you're right. I think that is like the measuring post.

If he stays on there and can say whatever he wants at least i'll give you an indication you know at least a point you know shows you which direction they're pointed in so i mean initially like remember just last week everybody last week or the week before everybody was like partying that tucker's coming to twitter and it's the big deal and blah blah blah, blah, blah, you know. So, you know, the audience is definitely fickle, but who knows what's actually going to happen. But you can, I mean, there will be indications about which direction it's going to go in. Well, I also think that right now, as long as it is a beacon for free speech and we're able to speak, we have to stay there because if you walk away based on what you think might

happen, then you have, we're not going to have spaces, you know? So we need those open spaces to talk. And if Tucker is there and we know how demonized he's been, then there's a chance that that's going to keep us all able to speak. There's another thing that I kind of want to point out. I have noticed, and there's going to be people that are going to give me hate for saying this, but I have noticed that Brian Krassenstein has been better on Twitter. He has not been, like I've seen some things and I'm like, he's actually posting something good.

That's okay. Yeah, why is that happening? Maybe the, I don't know for sure. Because he's learning. Because he, I think one of the big divides between the left and the right is the left believes fake news and the right tends to look for like tends to fact check or. And so this is why leftist personalities don't go on other shows because they get obliterated with fact checking. The Krasensteins got suspended.

They were lied about what they did. They were falsely accused of, I think, doing some weird stuff on Twitter and they maintained that they had never done. But they got removed, I think, because they were generating too much influence outside of the dnc's control or the democratic party's control or the establishment so they get banned they get falsely accused and then their their attitude is like were the conservatives right about why people are getting banned did some research talked to more people came back said this was wrong people should be banned for this started going on other shows and now they're probably realizing like oh that one thing wasn't true oh that one thing wasn't true either this is what happens to a lot of people you can still be liberal and have liberal opinions i don't i don't

mind that i have liberal opinions but if we agree on what's true because we fact checked it yes there was there was something that happened recently i can't remember what it was and the crescent scene said guys don't jump to conclusions or it was the it was the profile like i released from the from the allen texas shooter yeah and uh brian said something like just because the profile was found doesn't mean it actually is his profile we need to wait for real confirmation on this like just because it looks like it doesn't mean it's true and i'm like that's actually a really good really really good point like he's right you know do you think the surf sky is learning no he's been on he's not capable he's not capable

of learning i mean possible well so he is a really good example is when the guy from the surfs tweeted the right finally admits that their concern about grooming is indoctrinating kids into queer lifestyles which they view as sexual and it was funny that he referred to me as the right finally admitting, because it's like, bro, dude, my opinion is not conservative. Like, it is it is middle of the road. So it overlaps with some conservatives. And there were actually several times where he called me woke on the show. And I'm like, don't you get what centrist means? But anyway, he posted he posted that it means he is learning. But my response was that's finally admitting it's literally been our whole argument the entire time that you are indoctrinating kids into a political cultural lifestyle that does have

overt sexual connotations in it he didn't know that listen he did not he did not know that listen to good guy tim over here you gotta get rid of the beanie and get the old good guy hat i'd like to think that the the meth conversation was an aha i'm not getting the benefit that i'm saying the dude's completely ignorant oh the meth thing right yeah he was like i see what you did there well i didn't i didn't i didn't say okay oh wait yes i did see this clip with the the baby right because he was like a woman can an abortion whenever she wants it's her body it's her choice shamus asks so if the abortion whenever she wants. It's her body. It's her choice. Seamus asks, so as long as the baby's in her body, she can do whatever she wants to. And he's like, well, it's her

body. It's her choice. And I go, what about meth? And then he was like, no, because that would be intentionally killing the baby. And I didn't try to insult him. I genuinely went, wait a minute. Because like, how can you say you can kill the baby whenever you want, but you can't do meth because it kills the baby whenever you want but you can't do meth

because it kills the baby whenever you want i did not think he was going to say that but he did and i'm like well okay and then my response was i don't understand what you're trying to say because it makes no sense and people called him out like you have no formulated opinion on this you're just regurgitating talking points we talked to someone the other day that said that this generation that's coming out of high school now and for the last five years they want to stand for a cause and when asked what cause they say we don't really care just stand for a cause and so it's very easy to stand for a cause and not fully understand it i think that's what we're seeing purpose yeah i mean for a long time in this country people had purpose in faith family and community that's mostly going away no family no neighbors no faith so young people are desperate

for some reason to be alive and they and they they're not finding one but now they're being given one social justice if there's no god then you have to create your own meaning. Right. Mankind, man has to find his own meaning if there is no God. And a lot of people that are Gen Z and millennials are either atheists or they're agnostics. And without God or without a God to say, this is what is moral. This is where, you know, this is how you should live your life man is really left with no actual foundation right so and it's hard for people to make their own morality you know because you have to you have to have principle to have morality you have to have things that you believe are actually real and if you don't see any reason for existing at all, what does any of it matter?

So it's really black and blue gross. You can stand for regardless of your religion or lack thereof. And it's save women's sports. Anybody can get on board with this one. It's a great cause to stand for. All right. M.M. M.

Mays all says I'm the last of the boomers in my 50s we are not all brain dead followed you from the beginning and will until i quote age out big fans stay real so age out is the polite way i say of passing on you know i don't say like you know my fear is that when the boomers age out we're in in deep trouble. I like Gen X. They did a lot of really great work. A lot of the stuff I grew up watching. Boomers made Star Trek The Next Generation, which is the best show ever. So I'm deeply appreciative of that.

But I think boomers did a lot of really good stuff. And they did a lot of bad stuff too. But I think all the good stuff that influenced me, I'm a big fan of. And they vote better. They vote better than the younger generations. The younger generations are the fault of the old generations, of course. But my fear is that when the boomers are no longer voting, there's going to be a hard shift, boom, towards communist, weird Marxist policy. You don't think people vote differently as they get older?

I'm sort of hopeful that that happens. I do, but it's mostly because they have kids. And now we just have everything. We're just going to be watching our lives now based on what you're telling me. So my one hope, I suppose, is we may see a big shift leftward when the millennials may be a blip, a leftward spike in the voting patterns when the boomers are no longer voting when they pass on, when they age out, when they retire to the point where they're no longer involved. Millennials are going to do a big spike leftward. But I'm hoping that because they abort all of their children, that there will be substantially less of leftists in the future.

And look, I say it all the time. They never respond because they can't respond. I told Lance, the guy from the surfs, I said, y'all are sterilizing and aborting your kids. I don't care. I'm not a conservative. I'm not one of these pro-life conservatives begging you to save your kids. I'm sitting here being like, no, go ahead. Get rid of them.

50 years, it'll be a conservative Christian country. What do I care? And then their response is just stone faced. I have no, I don't know what to say to that. It's true. You don't have kids. And like you like you point out they say we're coming for your kids and i'm like you're not going to win that fight you're going to win some kids from some parents but we're already seeing the backlash with loudon county we're already seeing parents say no to the woke stuff in schools and it's causing them to freak out it's causing the fbi to call them terrorists

because they're losing so you give it 20 years and there's going to be more conservative voters you give it 40 years exponentially more you combine the fact that conservatives have more kids with liberals abort their kids and it is just mathematically impossible for the left to win so i'm just like look guys we got to be vigilant we got to stand up we got to call it out to make sure they don't indoctrinate this crazy stuff into the kids other than that we just wait they're they're for abortions up to any point it's politically correct for them to be my response to them is thank you for aborting your kids you're making the future better they never respond and i'm waiting for them to they just won't because they don't want to bring up the political debate of we are excising ourselves from from the country so i'm like okay well you know you're

gonna get conservatives who are pro-life being like that's so horrible no we can't let them do this to the children and my attitude is like no you're right you you are they shouldn't do it but like politically it's out of my hands so and in it i mean to your point of how much can you control by government is that is the question that republicans need to ask about the pro-life message is we this is a culture issue if you want to impact culture you can celebrate the wins in the life movement but if you think that you can change the minds of liberals and this control they have over this in an election that's not how you're going to do it yeah well i think uh i think we'll wrap it up here so if you haven't already would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this channel
