Starting point is 00:00:51 BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with iGaming Ontario. We got a crazy report coming out of Florida. Apparently a media consultant and a Democrat have been raided by the FBI in connection with leaked videos from Tucker Carlson. Apparently, it went to Vice News and Media Matters. So we'll break this story down and see what we got going on here. But I just think it's surprising that the FBI went after a Democrat. I just couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:01:18 So maybe this was more embarrassing to them or something. I don't know. But we do got a bunch of other news. Okay, Bud Light has teamed up with Harley Davidson. I know it's bad news. I'm sorry. Bud Weiser did. And then Bud Light is sponsoring a pride event. So they're just doubling down. And yeah, it's Friday night, man. We're chilling. We got some leaked audio from a DeSantis fundraiser. I think it's worth it. Was it a fundraiser or something like that? I don't know. We'll talk about that. It's really interesting. They basically say that once they get into the middle of campaign season,
Starting point is 00:01:46 DeSantis is going to go full moderate and safe, legal, and rare on abortion, which I found very, very interesting.

Starting point is 00:03:18 A lot of stories that people don't know about. There's a few that everyone knows and countless ones in so many different sports that you wouldn't even expect but um i'm trying to raise awareness about that and use my voice so we can bring back fairness and equal opportunity and safety go right on hello everyone i am uh phil labonte from the heavy metal band all that remains i am an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary and we are are here with... It's Kellen. Back this Friday. Fridays are the best days.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Good to see you again, Alex. Yeah, let's get rolling. All right, we got this story from the Western Journal. Democrat lawmakers' house raided by FBI in connection to Tucker Carlson leaks. It's crazy. The FBI searched a Florida Democrat elected official's home. It's connected to leaked materials from Fox News. They say the federal agency conducted a raid in search of a Tampa home this month.
Starting point is 00:04:08 The Tampa Bay Times reported the home is that of Tampa City Council member Lynn Hertock and her husband, media consultant Tim Burke. Carlson has been targeted in a series of selective leaks following his firing from Fox News last month with leftist organization Media Matters publishing off-air content in which he made off-color remarks. We have this from Daily Mail elaborating to say FBI probes hack of Fox News computers, which saw un-aired footage from Tucker Carlson's interview with Kanye West leaked to Vice. Florida media consultant's home is searched as part of the investigation. So they say in a may 25th letter obtained by daily mail a federal prosecutor in tampa florida alerted fox news to the criminal probe into stolen material including unaired video of tucker carlson who was fired in april
Starting point is 00:04:54 actually i don't think tucker was fired yet i don't know he wasn't fired right they just turned his show off yeah he's still actually an employee yeah and that's how they're keeping him kind of you know from doing other official shows exactly him on contract so here's the crazy thing about this story the fbi rated a democrat why would they do that i mean i i don't i question the motives of the democrat leaking this because all of these leaks made him look better and more relatable well no not these leaks uh a lot of people so so right so there's two things to say the leaks where tucker's saying things you know while they were prepping the show or whatever some of them we laugh at and like that's silly and makes no doesn't mean anything some of them it will just be negative press the democrats are going to rally
Starting point is 00:05:41 around but the kanye west leaks showed that they did edit out certain comments that perhaps they thought would be offensive so either way i don't know the media matters ones were all hilarious yeah and i think one of them was fake i think the one where you said f you media matters looks like a deep fake huh unfortunately but i don't know i mean nowadays you never know like the deep fakes are getting too good we're not gonna know anything we're just going we're just going blind into the future and yeah i mean in the next year the upcoming year is going to be very strenuous on people i think because people aren't going to know what to believe it's going to obviously you know when you hear joe biden and donald trump you know smack talking each other over video games you know that's
Starting point is 00:06:30 yeah you know made up but if it's a legitimate you know speech that is you know similar to something that any of the candidates would say i can't imagine this time next year that the technology won't beat every single human being there might be ai that can pick them out but i feel like i'm out there most human beings are going to be like i couldn't tell the difference that's only a year and that's in a year because think about what ai was like a year ago was there even excuse me i don't even think that that we had like a lot of ai stuff that was getting out when it comes to like the images and and chat problem is it's training itself so the more the more it progresses the more real it's going to get and the issue is
Starting point is 00:07:16 going to be the audio leaks obviously like the video ones are kind of easy to tell but like say if there's leaked audio and they claim it's leaked audio from like a fundraising event like you know the desantis thing uh someone could claim that it was leaked audio and then you know a year from now you might not know if it's actually real yeah so uh this was last year i used i think it was um i don't even remember the name of the ai i made ai generated images of trump biden and pelosi and they were grotesque looking and very fake and uh posted them to twitter so they're on my twitter somewhere today when you go to mid journey and and type in trump you get the it's it's real it's it's there's no way to tell it's not it's crazy i mean they've tried they're probably uh as you're mentioning some some software probably could track it down but i want want to read this, though, in the story.
Starting point is 00:08:05 This is interesting. They mentioned that this guy, Burke, who was being raided, that he's worked for Deadspin and the Daily Beast. And then there's something interesting I see in this story. They say, in a legal letter published to Media Matters earlier this month, Fox asked the group not to publish, to stop publishing this footage. The letter doesn't address how they got it, but it says the network did not consent to its distribution or publication according to a copy of letter obtained by daily mail uh this is copyright infringement that's the that's the weirdest thing about this they're publishing these leaked videos of tucker carlson but i'm just like uh if we record something in the studio it's our copyrighted material for us to distribute and sell if someone steals that and then starts
Starting point is 00:08:44 distributing it they are stealing that's piracy how is how is fox i got after him and said hey they stole this from this is this is our stuff and you know what i oh we were going to put out the best of tucker carlson bloopers it's a blooper and they stole it from us i mean come on that's got to be a that's a that's that's multi-million dollar lawsuit stuff well the fbi can't deny that that's a crime well i mean they're rating this guy yeah they're probably left with no option i don't i mean actually yeah they they went after people during the napster days and people got uh they criminally charge anybody over that uh i don't recall to be honest with you i know that people got sued very heavily but i'm wondering how does
Starting point is 00:09:22 this not reach that level all level i mean look the fbi has raided them so it sounds like somebody was hacking something either a hacking or maybe somebody who is inside the company was distributing it that's what i was gonna say is if it was a hack where they gave them access type of thing yeah i don't see anything about napster criminal no criminal charges now but there were criminal charges around a lot of piracy stuff, wasn't there? Like a few stories? I don't know. I think there was some.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I mean, there was Kim.com. Yeah. That was more than just a guy shared a file. This is a guy running a website for file storage. And then they were like, yeah, we'll just go after him and raid his house. Yeah, the FBI just decided they didn't like him. I mean, it was the FBI. It was the RIAA or something, MPAA, those Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Oh, okay. Yeah, and then New Zealand Special Forces storm his house. It's the funniest thing because whenever this stuff happens, like with Roger Stone, it's like, dude, you can knock on the door. What do you think is going on with these guys? Yeah, you can definitely knock on the door. But that depends. That's the discretion of the particular law enforcement agency on the ground. Usually they'll decide if the person is, if they consider the person dangerous or not.
Starting point is 00:10:32 And then that decision is probably going to be colored. Well, actually not probably that decision is definitely going to be colored by politics nowadays. Yeah. I think it was Tim, was it kim.com? Yeah. Yeah. They, he actually like sued them and won money back from the government because they they had like helicopters and everything and it was
Starting point is 00:10:50 just way overkill yeah and it's just like you can just there's nowhere to go he's got this compound in new zealand you just drive up and there's like one road yeah and then you just walk in yeah that's the craziest thing i'm surprised they're actually going after a democrat on this one though i i i don't even think the story is that big. Like, of all the things they could go after, they go after this? I mean, this could be... I'm such a conspiracy theorist now that I'm just like, well, it could be a cover for something else. They're like, well, pick him up for something, you know, just get him off the street.
Starting point is 00:11:17 They could be mad at him about something. I have so little faith in the validity of anything the government says nowadays. Yeah. Which is annoying, but. Yeah, I don't know. Like, I'm reading these and it's just like, obviously the, you know, the Kanye ones are bad. But, you know, again, I question why they would, you know, leak the funny ones. Then what's the motivation for the fbi to bother with something like this well there's always they could have got a tip and
Starting point is 00:11:50 they had to follow up on it they arrested that's not true they don't follow up on tips that's uh come on yeah yeah alina if you're like a pro lifer and you wave to sign it was high level though like if it was for fox news and know, they could publish a story about it. You know, I've had, what have we been, swatted 15 times last year. Yeah. Yeah. They don't, they don't, they don't rightly care at all about any of this. And the feds are supposed to be involved with like swatting stuff, right?
Starting point is 00:12:21 Well, it was, it was cross state lines. Yeah. Yeah. So, yep. Yeah. We had multiple departments. we had like four law enforcement agencies i think the postal the postal investigative service or whatever was involved because people were mailing stuff oh my gosh yeah they don't know anything so there's more yeah yep it's been a while since the last one, though. Like, knock on wood. Since the last one?
Starting point is 00:12:46 Oh, gosh. I wonder why it stopped. I feel like that is a tempting fate, Tim. I know. I'm like, I wouldn't say that. Like, we have security, and we work with local law enforcement, so it's just... Yeah. At this point, they've got to know what to expect when they come here since it's happened so many times.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Well, they don't come here anymore. Like they don't they don't come here like it's a raid. You know, it's usually liaising with security and then sweeps and things like that. But like the first time they came, they were like, we're coming in the house and you can't stop us, even though we told them not to do it. And that was really annoying and then they they made up some lie about exigent circumstances or something like that which is just not true yeah the the only thing that i can see the only you know the only thing i see in this tucker carlson story or the uh the raid story is is they're just trying to get more information i
Starting point is 00:13:43 guess trying to pick up stuff i I don't think they even, they didn't arrest him, right? And they just raided his house for information. I mean, we don't rightly know exactly. I don't know. I guess that's it. That's the story. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:54 That's so bizarre. That's it. Right. Well, let's talk about Budweiser from the Daily Mail. Budweiser teams up with Harley Davidson for very manly new advert as owner of Anheuser-Busch tries to recover from Bud Light backlash over marketing campaign with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Let's show you how manly you are. Let's play the video. You guys ready? Yeah. The greatest legacies are built with grit and resilience one detail at a time limited edition budweiser harley davidson cans for those who give everything to their craft because what's for you why why though why i don't know about you guys but i'm feeling manlier already limited edition i'm sold it's almost like parody like the way they're doing it like
Starting point is 00:14:52 yeah voice and everything i'm like oh my gosh who's who's honestly gonna buy this in an effort to please everyone they've made everyone hate them but do you want to buy the can and then put the can on the wall or something? It's so bizarre. And it's funny, too, because it's like I wasn't really one for boycotts. And I was kind of like a like a Budweiser guy when I drank beer. And this is like the first boycott I've like kind of taken part of. And like it's been successful. And it really makes sense why it's successful is because, you know, those types of people that are you know drinking beer or whatever and you know when you see these other
Starting point is 00:15:29 companies like Nike or whatever they can afford to lose you know people who pay attention to politics half the country you know doesn't really care and they're going to say I like you know LeBron James or whatever I'm going to buy his shoes but but like bud light or budweiser it's gotten like a lot of people's attention i saw like clay travis had like the cooler challenge type thing where he had a mixture of beer and then uh at the end of the night he opens it and it's like full of bud light because it was like those are the only beers that people didn't take so it's just become so he bought bud light he yeah right i i guess i don't know the whole story of where the sourcing came from though yeah he could have gotten it for free
Starting point is 00:16:10 was he doing it like as a social experiment to see if i don't know if it started off that way but he posted on twitter just like the cooler uh i don't know if it was like a cookout or whatever he was at but but yeah it was like the cooler before and then after and it was like only bud light left this is this is a desperate attempt because memorial day is here yeah and so it's also been like a very slow day also people can probably tell because everybody's getting ready to just take off and go on their memorial day three-day holiday or whatever weekend but uh i i kind of could sense something like this was going to come because memorial day was is the danger zone for Bud Light. People are going to be grilling.
Starting point is 00:16:47 People are going to be hanging out. They're going to go to the lake. And this is when they're like, we need to move product. Yeah. And this was the best they could do. So I got bad news for you guys, though. This doesn't make Budweiser manlier. It makes Harley Davidson gayer.
Starting point is 00:17:09 And that's fine like look man like if you are a man who likes to have adult relations with other men and ride motorcycles no i mean the series like i got no beef like that's that's totally fine by me i live your life you know be happy but but budweiser's brand i can't believe harley davidson was like let's get in on that. Because people are making meme videos. There's a video I saw where a dude goes to the store and he's like buying beer. And then this other guy grabs a thing of Bud Light and he goes, you're buying Bud Light? And the guy goes, well, look, man, I don't care about the politics. I've always drank Bud Light. He's like, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Then he grabs a case, looks over, and the guy bends down to tie his shoe. And then his pants reveals he's wearing a thong. And the guy's like, okay. And he puts the Bud Light back and then grabs something else so it's like but but my point with mentioning that is that people are are bud light is a meme now it is it is like you cannot save the brand all you can do is taint anything else yeah i think i think you're totally right and i also think that there's there is the the sense from the average person that if they buy bud light they're engaging in politics you know i mean it's like they had most people that want to you know just go to the bar
Starting point is 00:18:20 and have a beer with their friends or go shoot pool or go to the game whatever they're actually trying to avoid politics and if they buy bud light they're going to feel like they're engaging in it and that's something that is is not easy to get rid of and it's definitely something that bud light doesn't or that you know bud doesn't want and this the har the Harley Davidson thing, it's not going to move the needle because people are still going to feel like if I buy Bud and support, I'm engaging in politics. If I don't buy it, I'm not engaging because there's a bunch of other beers. But if I buy Bud, then I'm saying I support this. There's nothing they can do to salvage the brand. Like, there's no ad campaign where we're going to be like oh now
Starting point is 00:19:05 it's okay it's literally just them coming out and apologizing but they definitely will not do that they're going to do something like this and harley davidson i mean i i gotta i gotta ask is is is is it big is harley big are they are they i don't i don't understand what the point of this is with bikers yeah still i think so i mean I think so. If you're into motorcycles, especially the cruiser style, I think that Harley's probably still the name that people are kind of into. Here's what you do. When you see a dude in a Harley, you go, Woo, pride, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And then you walk up to the guys on the bikes and just be like, I'm so happy that you guys can be together. Do you think this is going to taint? South Park's already between, between this and South Park. South Park did that episode. Everybody, you know, everyone remembers that South Park episode.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Why would he, is the new Simpsons close to it, but that's, I mean, both pretty old and between the two of them. Well, yeah, but I just meant like prediction prediction wise.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Oh yeah. And then South Park even had that episode. Simps did it but i talk about that i'm just i'm just i did the people at marketing people at harley davidson are they unaware at all like target stock is is is free falling and you know i wonder if they did this deal in advance well the target to print the cans i was gonna going to say it takes time to print. But it's been it's been two months. Like the Dylan thing was April 1st. That could have been decided a year ago that we're going to do it this holiday weekend. Could you imagine like Harley Davidson executives calling up Budweiser and be like, no, no, no, no, no, we're done. We don't want to do this.
Starting point is 00:20:37 And they're like, no, you can't get it. No, you're here now. We got we got you. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. here now we got we got you oh my gosh yeah has there been an update on the the vp or the marketing exec that was uh they're both still on leave there's two that they put on leave there's no updates though no i don't know just bud lights budweiser is down a bit not as bad as bud light but a bunch of the brands are down the the reason i think that the um the reason
Starting point is 00:21:06 this this boycott worked is and this is great because this is the watershed moment this is like this is the ignition point is that it's it's perishable so that means it has to move from shelves quickly otherwise it gets trashed that if you get three days of people not buying something then immediately they're going to be like, sales report, it's down. People are throwing away cans. Then it's going to hit the news cycle again, and it's going to stay in the news cycle. With Target, it's more difficult. With Disney, it's more difficult because people could boycott it for three days and then come right back.
Starting point is 00:21:38 You might not even notice. Or they could totally boycott it, and you're not going to get any news for three months until the next quarter when they do it reports and stuff like uh sales sales reports or subscriber reports target might not feel it right away well target's got perishable goods too they sell groceries yeah but if if 80 of people keep shopping at target they're going to move that product what happened is bud lights perishable and people noticed right away nobody was buying it stores started to panic and then it hits the news again. Wow, these stores aren't selling Bud Light. Once it gets back in the news, more people start asking why.
Starting point is 00:22:14 That causes the news to ripple and the meme to ripple. Then the stock tanks. Now we've created the Bud Light effect, which is probably the most powerful tool. When Target faces a boycott, it doesn't matter if it's sales what matters is shareholders get scared that they're going to go the same route as bud light and if bud light tanked after everyone said no bud light's great anheuser-busch is going to do great if it's still tanked then you're sitting on target stock you're going to be like i better i better not i better not have this i'm not giving you any advice.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just saying. I'm sure a lot of people were like, whether you know or not that target stock will go down, why wait? Like there's no positive news, right? Yeah. So if I'm looking at my stock portfolio and I've got, let's just say, let's do a hypothetical, $100. I'm like, the negative news is not going to make the stock go up is it it may make the stock go down i'll sell and hold on the hundred dollars yeah sell the stock hold the cash wait to see what happens then that triggers a sell-off the
Starting point is 00:23:16 sell-off creates a self-fulfilling prophecy and then so anyway back to uh harley davidson i'm wondering if they're gonna get because someone someone told me this uh the other day we were talking about it and we didn't you know i don't i don't know is harley davidson i'm wondering if they're going to get because someone someone told me this uh the other day we were talking about it and we didn't you know i don't know is harley davidson publicly traded i do not know i don't know let's see they are and they're currently up 0.52 percent they're up uh 1.26 percent in the past five days i gotta be honest man i would not be surprised to see harley davidson stock take a hit when this news breaks that being said the news is breaking on a friday yeah and a holiday weekend memorial day weekend everybody's already gone yeah like i don't even know why we're here to be completely honest we're not gonna be here on monday but i was like i guess we have to do something we can hang out you There's, you know, you were talking about the Target stock and stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:06 There's, I saw Clint tweeted this earlier from Liberty Lockpot. More than 60 civil society groups are now demanding that all businesses cease Twitter ad buys because Musk had the audacity to let Ron DeSantis announce his presidential run on Twitter. And it's because of the ESG DEI stuff. If you've got what are ostensibly capitalist organizations pressuring other organizations to stop buying ads because of politics uh i imagine that the esg and dei stuff that incentivize target to do the things like having the pride you know the pride stuff every year i feel like that is gonna be i feel like people are going to start taking notice of that taking notice of the esg stuff because it's it's already something that you hear kind of rumbling i saw something on cnbc they were doing a basically a hit on it and and discussing the benefits um and i think that
Starting point is 00:25:12 that could be something really really good for the the right basically because it's better than boycotting one company yeah it gets people to focus on what is basically social engineering of the capitalist system, you know, and that has been such an effective way to get compliance from corporations and stuff like that. And that's honestly, I think the most important thing to focus on if you're looking at boycotts or whatever, you want to hit companies in the pocketbook, look for companies that are making ESG and DEI commitments. So I've got an announcement for everybody. The message Bud Light has for you is that if you drink their beer, you are gay. And I'm not being tongue-in-cheek. Bud Light sponsors Cincinnati Pride Parade after Dylan Mulvaney controversy. The reason why I say it that way is, after the controversy already put Bud Light in this position where they were viewed as a beer for the LGBT community,
Starting point is 00:26:16 Bud Light decided, you know what, whatever, double down, sponsor a Pride event. And that's fine, they're allowed to do whatever they want, you know, whatever. Just like, I think they've decided, you know what? Embrace it. Just go right with it. They are officially the beer for the LGBT community. I don't know why you're laughing.
Starting point is 00:26:37 That's the route they're going. I respect it. You know why? When they sponsored Dylan Mulvaney and tried to hem and haw and play this stupid game of, no, no, oh wait, no, we didn't mean it, but not actually apologizing, not actually saying anything. I'm just like, dude, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't make a Clydesdale commercial with 9-11 stuff in it and then do this at the same time. So then they lie low for a little bit. Then they sponsor pride. They're basically coming out and being like, this is the route we've decided to go. We want to be a niche beer for a small community.
Starting point is 00:27:09 And I can respect it. I think they're looking at their brand, and they're being like, Bud Light's done. Let's pass it on to this community who likes it and make money with a core base that's substantially smaller than the general market, and then focus on something else. I do think it's funny that Budweiser sponsored or was sponsored by or partnered with harley davidson because they're
Starting point is 00:27:29 like okay here's the plan budweiser is manly and bud light is gay i see what they're doing there it's not a joke i don't know why you're laughing it it's just literally what they're doing look man load the bases right put get get everybody out there load the bases oh yeah this is a picture and then all you got to do is hit a single and you're making money you know they talk about how they're doing the the the uh camo cans or whatever i saw that for veterans yeah but then they go and do this and it's like i don't i don't think they look dude they don't care about you they don't care about you they don't care about your values they're just like i don't know man we want to make money so this is it this this news um this is what because it's coming out today right i think so yeah this news is breaking yeah on a friday so we're after hours i gotta i gotta
Starting point is 00:28:16 i gotta look man i think their stock is gonna drop bad oh yeah if their stock already took a major hit from this and they double down i I can't imagine how their stock recovers. You're talking about Bud Light, right? Anheuser. Anheuser, yeah. Anheuser in general. But again, it's not even so much as to whether or not this will impact sales. It's that you have a major scandal, major scandal, people stop buying, stock drops.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Then as the stock is going bad, you engage in the same practice that resulted in the boycott in the first place i have to imagine anybody holding anhyzer stock at this point going oh man i tried to hold out and just sells i wouldn't be surprised if their stock drops by like like 15 points in the next few days and the memorial day rebate too it's even worse when they're basically giving away free beer because it's more expensive to you know send it back and throw it away the rebates hilarious yeah it is the most comical thing ever because people were joking about it they're like we can't give it away for free at this point and then two weeks later it was an actual campaign so it's beyond comical it's pretty funny i think it does make more sense to just pick a route and take it though
Starting point is 00:29:26 than to try to please everyone because then there's always going to be the group who's like well i don't like that they're doing the pride stuff and then there's going to be the ads that are like manly men that are going to clash and it's never going to please the whole customer base there's there's been for for for the longest time for this a significant portion at least of my life there has been an incentive for companies to avoid politics yeah because then you're you know michael jordan said it best republicans buy sneakers too yeah that's the way it was from the 80s 90s pardon me but yeah urban legend it really shouldn't matter either it's crazy to see how many big companies are deciding to make that like a
Starting point is 00:30:11 forefront of their advertisements well i mean the i i think it's because of the esg stuff because the the point is if you have if you're a stakeholder that they call it stakeholder capitalism if you have a stake in these companies if you're stakeholder, even if you lose money on this particular investment, there are opportunities that will be made for companies that have a high enough ESG score. So you may lose money here, but down the road, there will be opportunities. And essentially, what it seems like it's going to turn into is a way to lock people out that don't have a high enough ESG score. It's a social credit credit system, but for companies. So if you don't have a high enough ESG score, you don't get the opportunities. You don't get the, you don't get the chance to bid on this contract, or you don't get
Starting point is 00:30:59 the chance to do this job. You don't get the chance to do this. So whereas there might be companies that lose money in the beginning when they you know do something that's unpopular over time it's fine because companies that don't play along will be shut out so it's social credit course credit course starting with companies and it'll eventually move down to the population because there are people that have been unbanked you know kicked out of the banking system and stuff that is a real thing it is straight up maoism coming to america yeah they already lost like points on their their corporate equality index thing
Starting point is 00:31:34 it says and heiser did uh yeah they had a perfect hundred score and uh they it doesn't say what it's decreasing to but they got a letter from the human rights campaign saying that they're going to decrease their score. Wait, the human rights campaign keeps score? Well, I keep score from now on, too. It's the America score. And I give Anheuser-Busch a minus 50. The worst score you could get because minus 50 is where we stop for some reason. Well, what are they losing points for?
Starting point is 00:32:03 Putting the VP on leave? Because, yeah, I think because they kind of distance themselves, the non-apology type thing. But it was offensive enough to that crowd. That's what Target is doing, too. Yeah. They're like, well, just put this stuff in the back of the store. He straight up said, hide this from our customers, but then tell everyone else that we're still on their side. It was like amazingly offensive to everyone i was really impressed by that that's what i was saying they try to please everyone they piss everyone off he wasn't trying to please everybody
Starting point is 00:32:35 it like in no in no sensible reality would you be like hey i'm on your side alx we're gonna put that benny johnson book on the floor so nobody can see it. That's an insult. That's not defending. You're like, okay. It's like acting like it's how you insult someone tongue in cheek. So are they being boycotted by leftists now, too, because of that? You know what I think happened is they said that they had incidents in the south or whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Yeah. because of that you know what i think happened is they said that they had incidents in the south or whatever yeah yo i bet they went into some like very conservative areas and their targets and they put a bunch of pride stuff and i bet people walked in and you know we hear these stories about confrontations and threats and stuff and people on the right are like no that didn't happen like conservatives dude i don't think it was conservatives i told this to wesley hunt the other day i think regular people snapped i think some dude walked in with his kid down in alabama or something his little four-year-old daughter to get to get a pack of beer and he walks in and he sees it he's like what the you doing i got my kid here man and then probably yelled and they i think there's stuff we just didn't see yeah benny did a video yesterday he was literally at a target in tampa yesterday and it's still right in the front
Starting point is 00:33:43 oh yeah yeah like so there was It probably depends on the city. Yeah, they said in the south. Go figure. At the one in Martinsburg. Uh-huh. It's right out front. I haven't been there. I've been boycotting.
Starting point is 00:33:58 It was like five days ago or something like that. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it stayed. I definitely, I think it was a video like on Twitter. I can't remember who posted it, but it was some guy like tearing down the pride sign, which like that's not cool. That's vandalism. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:34:13 But it was captioned terrorism. Yeah. And I was like, I don't know about terrorism. Well, that's what Sobik posted, the old Summer of Love videos. It's because- It wasn't that. It was a different one.
Starting point is 00:34:26 It was in response to that. Yeah. Because... When I saw those, I almost fell for it that that was real. But I was like, this looks too familiar. Adrienne Curry said, my friend works at Target in Joliet, Illinois, and people freaked out in the store. Wow.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I can see that being from Chicago. And we used to hang out in Joliet periodically. I mean, if you were in, Adrian, come back anytime. We've had so many killer shows in Joliet, Illinois. No kidding around. Seriously. Like I haven't been there in a very long time. It's probably been 15 years.
Starting point is 00:34:58 But my view of the people down there are like they're I don't know. How do you describe it? It's hard to describe without being insulting. I say this as a term of endearment. White trashy. Yeah. You know, because, like, I'm a Southside, like, we were Southside white trash-ish. I mean, we're like a mixed family or whatever.
Starting point is 00:35:16 But, like, we lived in this area where everybody was kind of just poor, working class white people. And I can imagine people in Joliet being like get this out of here man like we have kids but i don't know times change i don't know what joliet's like these days the forge in joliet's the place that we play it's awesome they got a prison down there too yep oh yeah that's the uh that's where ink in the clink is that's where the um i think no i mean i could be wrong no no old state prison apparently it's really bad yeah but anyway the ceo of target is like we want to let you all know that we're here and we're on your side and we still do support you we're just putting you in the back so that nobody can see you but when uh what you said you said the one out here was still in the front
Starting point is 00:35:57 uh yes well the one in martinsburg and this was a couple days ago so i'm not sure if the in you know the intensity had gotten to the point where they're like oh we got to get out of here um i don't remember exactly what day i went in there is the other day but it was when i when i went in yeah they still had plenty of pride stuff out you know west virginia second most trump supporting country um trump supporting state in the country it's not a country itself uh and i gotta tell you there's a lot of woke stuff in west virginia it's weird it's i really think it's because the companies have you know have i mean it's it's there's a lot of pressure from groups like black rock and and
Starting point is 00:36:36 like the human rights campaign and and all these non-governmental organizations and and stuff that are that are trying to get companies to behave in a certain you know a certain way it's it's like it's as if the marxist realized that if you go into a society via capitalism that'll work because that's what happened in china yeah you know china was incredibly poor until they start until deng chao ping opened up markets and that made china you know capable of flourishing if you don't have some type of markets you know it's extremely controlled and china decides who can and cannot be successful like that there was a billionaire that just went missing last year or whatever um just disappeared but oh yeah
Starting point is 00:37:26 jack uh jack ma yeah yeah but they decide who can and cannot do business but they're still allowed to do business and so the ccp decides who's going to be successful and who's not and if you play by the rules then you're in and that's what's coming to america through esg there will be essentially you know non-government organizations possibly even it might get to the point where it's actually in the government but i think a lot of these companies just think this stuff sells they see it on tv they see it because it's basically a cast it's a cascade effect it's a it's a it's dominoes falling over. One company does it, then other companies are like, this is what's popular. Then it gets in commercials and they're
Starting point is 00:38:09 like, okay, everyone's for this. Then the Bud Light thing happens and now people are starting to go, whoa, slam the brakes. This is actually bad for us. But somebody, David, in the regular chat said, we were in the panhandle. Look, man, we went all across the northern part of West Virginia. I drove all the way close to ohio and there's a lot of woke stuff and the issue is the average person does not pay attention and doesn't believe you because they don't pay attention and it's really terrifying when you know i'll be talking to someone and i'll say oh did you hear about insert left-wing policy and say that's not true and i'm like dude please google it on your phone right now like the best example of this is when dennis prager was on bill maher and said that the
Starting point is 00:38:49 normative statement of the lgbt community and the left is that men can menstruate and they all laughed yep and bill was like i thought you were used to be reasonable and it's like to have it reminds me of that uh kierkegaard the clown comes out on the stage and says there's a fire back stage they all laugh and then he fire backstage. They all laugh. And then he says, no, no, seriously, they laugh harder. And that's what Prager was doing on Bill Maher saying like, they're doing this. And then all of the people go, ah, you're so silly. It's so ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:39:16 In West Virginia, they had an all ages drag show. I don't care where you are in West Virginia. How does that happen? Right. And so that actually had me almost considering not setting up business here. Because I was like, okay, I know that Florida is fighting this.
Starting point is 00:39:32 I don't want to live in Florida. I've lived there before. Florida's got great politics right now, but it is not my... I like snowboarding. I grew up in Chicago. I like the cold. I like four seasons. And Texas, I don't know if i could do that either west virginia it hits all the good
Starting point is 00:39:49 points it's maga country you got mountains you got rivers you got lakes you got snow and i'm like all right and then are they really fighting esg stuff are they really fighting the wokeness to a certain degree yes i'll give a shout out to riley moore who i believe this was the first state that banned esg at the state level state contracting and then a bunch of other states are following suit and he's he's the treasurer so they are however republicans and conservatives make the mistake of thinking you can win a culture war in a courthouse in in a state house and what's happening is in these schools in west virginia these this is a cult right and i'm talking to family and they're like well you say it's a cult and you really should and i'm like dude
Starting point is 00:40:29 they come to schools it's cold they come to schools and they say they're christians they say they're conservatives and then they start introducing woke books into the school then they get called out and they say oh yeah i'm here for all of that they get called out and they say, oh yeah, I'm here for all of that. They get elected lying and claiming that they're regular old people from good old West Virginia. And it turns out they moved here recently from cities and they're trying to indoctrinate kids. And then all of a sudden, I'm hearing from parents out in West Virginia. They're like, how come my kids are talking about this stuff? Because you missed when they moved into your schools. They are a cult. They are psychotic. and i'm not
Starting point is 00:41:06 talking about every single liberal that's ridiculous i'm talking about literally the extremist small faction that are for violence and want to bring all this weird sexual stuff around kids they are in your schools and i don't care where you live if you're not paying attention to your schools they're probably there and you're like no i'm in a place it's 80 look west virginia's 86 trump supporting state and i'm in a place where everyone's got trump signs and the children are being brought these books so much so that there was an effort to start homeschoolings and pods to get their kids out because they're like what do we do these people like they got voted in they lied we thought they were conservative we thought they were regular families suburban nope people don't realize it.
Starting point is 00:41:45 It's in the curriculum. Like these are all free. It's all free area in curriculum. It's all Palo Free area. It's all, it's all in the schools of education. So first it goes into the colleges that teach the teachers. And then you start pumping out teachers that are true believers that really believe that this is the proper way to educate kids.
Starting point is 00:42:04 And this is blah, blah, blah. You know, this is what, this is the proper way to educate kids and this is blah, blah, blah. This is what kids need to learn and the future. It's not so important if they are good at math because your cell phone is going to be with you all the time. It's not so important if you know stuff because you can look it up. So what they're doing is teaching kids SEL, social emotional learning. They're teaching kids how to exist in the society of the future how they intend to shape society but the part that's that's you know in there
Starting point is 00:42:32 that people miss is these people have a goal they have a a design of society in mind and they're looking to create people a society that will fit into the society that they want to create you know and most parents don't know so you get kids part of the reason why the the test scores are so terrible because it doesn't matter if your kids can read well everything can will be will be you know audio to them like it'll be read to them it doesn't matter if your kids can do math because you can just do it on a calculator so the few though and to be they they also have a there's also a lot of people that think that like everything's gonna be automated so you don't you're not gonna have to do any any work so you have to have other skills
Starting point is 00:43:17 for the future the that's i mean truckers right now are the largest uh job for for college for for high school educated men if if elon musk is successful with making cars that really can drive themselves it's going to be way more efficient in 10 20 years to have cars that drive you know trucks that drive themselves so you're going to put how many people out of out of work i mean tucker carlson's already said that if he were in you know in power or in a position of authority he just shut that down but they're trying to make the new society by doing it through your kids let's and they want you completely incapable let me i saw this clip i want to play this clip for you i saw this from isabel brown on instagram so we're're doing a picture in a picture video.
Starting point is 00:44:08 We're reacting to a reaction, but I don't know the original video, but I'm going to play this for you. They don't know how to address an envelope. They don't know how to read cursive. Talking about Gen Z. They don't know how to read a paper map. They can't get anywhere unless there's a gps map on their phone all i'm saying is if gen z takes over the world it's gonna be pretty easy to get it back we're just gonna write our battle
Starting point is 00:44:33 plans in cursive on a piece of paper that that actually is a true story we talked about before her face where uh well so there's that story where they did the war game and the younger guys lost to the older guys and it's because like the older guys wrote and wrote their plans on a note and put it in a guy's pocket and wrote it by motorcycle and they were trying to like intercept messages people talk about it they tell us the specifics but uh isabel then goes on to mention that uh you were supposed to teach us yeah and that's the most brutal thing about it. That woman, she's telling a joke. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:45:07 It's a joke. But the crazy thing is that she would joke about her own failures, a generational failure, and they all laugh. And I'm like, I get you're joking. But every joke has its truth. And you don't genuinely think you will take the world back from Gen Z. You do believe you're handing it off. But if you really believe that Gen Z is incompetent,
Starting point is 00:45:30 incapable, and you're laughing about it, this is us being flushed down the drain. When did we go? Serious question for you guys. When did we go from a nation where we were like, we need to prepare our children for the future to you're on your own. I can't believe they can't do these things. When we trusted public schools to
Starting point is 00:45:47 teach our kids and didn't pay enough attention to see the changes happening i think that's completely it let's go all the way back to the start schools either like i witnessed this happen at a summer camp that i was working at like a skateboarding camp where a few people who are really into this started like asking kids their pronouns and doing these types of rituals. Like when we would do our, and it's all games and stuff. Yeah. It's,
Starting point is 00:46:09 it's like very, very leftist activists. And I was sitting there thinking like, why are we talking to 12 year olds like this? We're supposed to be a skateboarding and playing fun, like get to know you games. Like their parents didn't agree to this and i don't want to be a part of this and i ended up leaving but it's hard to stay in a position like that when the people in
Starting point is 00:46:30 control are pushing that i think i think this started with public schooling i think about why it is that so many why does gen z not want to work there was a story i saw the other day and said gen z doesn't want to work poll shows but and i I saw the other day and it said, Gen Z doesn't want to work, poll shows. But, and I'm like, okay, what does work mean? Seriously, what does work refer to? I wake up every day. I work like 16 hours. Every single thing I do is work and it's fun. I'm having fun. Everything I'm doing is in the, is in the pursuit of some kind of work. We go skateboarding. It's like, yeah, we're filming videos. We're launching a show. We're going to be setting up a park. We're going to be making things for people to enjoy and to consume and to be inspired by these younger people and it's not just younger people but it's in case it's it's it's increasing
Starting point is 00:47:13 with the generations don't want to do anything they're nihilistic not all of them i'm not saying everybody but there's a lot of more nihilistic they want to lay around they don't even want to read books they don't want to watch TV. They don't want to watch movies. They might just put on The Office on Netflix and just sit there. What happened where people, I'll tell you what I think. Here's how it used to be. Dad wakes up and he goes, all right, son, off to work. Come on. And he'd bring his kid with him to his, you know, wood shop or whatever. And this is hundreds of years ago. And he would show his son what he did. And his son would be there and he'd be like, go grab the tools from the shed.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And then the kid would watch him do it. As the kid got older, the kid would get more responsibility from his dad. And then when the dad was old and was like, I can't do this job anymore, the kid would be like, don't worry, dad. I'll keep the shop running. And then you get this like seven generation woodworking thing and it becomes a big company, inherited.
Starting point is 00:48:03 All the kids learning the whole way. And then at some point we said, I got an idea. Let's take the kids away from their parents. So they don't learn, put them in an institutionalized learning facility for general education, separating them from their parents. And then they don't work when they're in school. They learn general stuff. They play, they take tests. Well, if you take a kid and their development is tests tests guess what they're going to be good at when they're older reading books and taking tests yeah and then they turn into career students too because it's like you're almost expected to go to college uh out of high school without even knowing what you're going to college for and then once you're in college and
Starting point is 00:48:38 you're halfway through you're like i don't know what i'm going to do still and then it's like okay i'm going to get another degree and another degree. And they become career students. And they're actually learning nothing of value. And just obtaining a ton of debt. Yeah, exactly. That they'll never be able to crawl out of. I'll tell you what I did when I was a little kid. Since I was alive, my family had computers.
Starting point is 00:48:58 I guess I had like my uncle was into it. My mom got a computer. We had like two A floppy disks. We had CompuServe dos shell or dos and dos shell eventually we had dos games so i'm always using computers we had the internet my whole life i'm on aol i'm on compu serve and aol i'm a little kid parental restrictions and stuff but i'm i'm you know browsing the internet eventually i'm downloading programs i start reading news articles i used to go to fark.com all the time. Do you guys remember Fark? Yeah. Yeah, that was good fun.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Man, I was probably like 13 or whatever. I'm reading these news stories. All of a sudden, there I am skating with my friends, but having read the news all day. And then we would be talking about this stuff. And I'd be like, oh yeah, I read this story. I was like, well, here I am as an adult, quite literally doing very much the exact same thing
Starting point is 00:49:40 I've always done. And I look at what's happening now with the younger generation and what they're being taught. The moment we separated kids from their parents that was when the roots were cut and you you created this domino effect of parents who don't teach their kids who have kids who don't teach their kids who have kids who don't teach their kids and then after a few generations it all just crumbles and now you've got comedians laughing being like gen z is so incompetent i'm like you're the ones who were supposed to have passed on the knowledge
Starting point is 00:50:09 and capabilities to gen z they didn't do it they've all just said it's someone else's responsibility and what we're seeing now is the worst of it where these teachers are trying to indoctrinate kids with this weird groomer stuff yeah for sure and then the thing too about like what you mentioned about not enough states fighting about fighting back against you know the education system doing that uh you saw the backlash in florida there was a national campaign almost to smear the don't say gay bill when in actuality it was you know parental rights and education exactly and they kept saying the so-called don't say gay bill to to skirt responsibility but you had people like saying, oh, Ron DeSantis called it this. It's like, well, no, it wasn't actually his legislation.
Starting point is 00:50:49 And then also the reality of it, it's like you can't like teach toddlers like sexual education. And, you know, without their parents consent, it's like that was the actual, you know, bill. And there was a national conversation against it. And that was just like at a state level so you know imagine if another state that isn't as red as florida did that you know the national spotlight kind of makes states not want to take it on because it is an uphill battle when you know the actual national media get involved in the conversation when i think about this stuff it makes me very very optimistic because i kind of
Starting point is 00:51:25 feel like we're actually coming out of the crisis period the stuff that we're seeing and people waking up and people saying homeschool your kids homeschooling your kids is literally what you were supposed to be doing what humans have always done the kids were learning from their parents and then we got to a point where we had school i know that we've had school houses for a very very long time hundreds of years but we got to the point where we had school. I know that we've had schoolhouses for a very, very long time, hundreds of years. But we got to the point where everything became heavily institutionalized. And then parents started not caring about what their kids were learning. The culture started to fragment.
Starting point is 00:51:55 And then you had kids learning weird things. And now we're at the worst point of it, where you got these books like genderqueer. And this book is gay, which is like kink education for children, which should not be in these schools. But now people are starting to reverse course. And it's almost like the pendulum swung back, and it's starting to go back the other direction. Like people are starting to say, yeah, we shouldn't have this for our kids. And if we start implementing pod learning across the board, then the future looks pretty bright. It's also been the economy because you had in the 1950s, one parent that could stay at the house with the children. Well,
Starting point is 00:52:26 and you know, it was one salary could pay for a nice house and a nice safe neighborhood. Now you have many single parent households. And if there are two parent households, usually both parents are working. So these children have, you know, they don't have that parent around all the time.
Starting point is 00:52:41 They're, they're sent to public school because it's daycare, you know? And so that's, that's what it's become's become the day the fact that the fact that public school has become daycare as opposed to an actual place for kids to go and learn stuff is is is probably the biggest problem the united states is facing the fact that parents aren't involved in their kids lives i think that that's not just about the whole woke thing, but there's a lot of crime problems that come from that,
Starting point is 00:53:10 kids that don't have families that, whether they be, whatever you consider a family, I don't have a big, strong, has to be a dad, has to be a mom. I think that it's okay if you have two moms or two dads. Personally, I think it's fine. But you have to have a masculine and a feminine kind of
Starting point is 00:53:32 parent. Or those roles have to be filled somehow. Kids aren't getting that. You certainly don't get it from a single mom. I understand there's a lot of single moms out there busting their hump. But it's not easy. The media has lied to single mothers, telling them that they can be a single mother and a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. And you just can't.
Starting point is 00:53:54 There's no way you're going to have time for both. Your kids deserve way more time than what you could give if you're working full time. So I think the problem, the biggest problems that we have are the fact that there aren't people, you know, there are that, that parents aren't raising their kids. Probably they're sending them off to school and not taking them to work with them and, and to teach them to do stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:18 So that's my, my opinion about the biggest problem is, is just schools. Yeah. But I think we're taking it back. I think the COVID thing triggered something accidentally that's my my opinion about the biggest problem is just schools yeah but i think we're taking it back i think the covid thing triggered something accidentally that's freaking out the left and that parents got to actually hear what their kids were being told for the first time yeah basically ever when i hear about these stories out of west virginia parents say like my kid came home and started saying weird stuff you know talking about pan pansexual and gender stuff and then they're like what's what's going on they're finally now realizing it but it's too late these
Starting point is 00:54:49 p these teachers that got hired the people got brought to the school boards they infiltrated but people are waking up to it and it's causing a shift finally people are going to be are saying it's where it used to be well look you know go to school and you know ignore that stuff now the parents are like whoa this is just too much too much too fast i think we're going to see a very very positive shift at the very least we may lose our status as this global empire whatever the the reserve dollar may no longer be a thing the cost of living may go way way up but uh the values will i think improve people will start working hard and then it'll be tough for us.
Starting point is 00:55:26 But I think our kids will start to have it slightly better. And then it'll get better from there. Someone mentioned in the chat that houses used to cost like $13,000. So you'd have a $13,000 house and you'd make something like $5,000 a year. You could buy a house. You could pay it off. Now people are making $30,000, $40,000. I think, what, $40,000 is the median or $50,000 or something? Something like that, $45,000. you could buy a house you could pay it off now people are making 30 40 i think what 40 000 is
Starting point is 00:55:46 the median or 50 000 or something like that 45 and and the average house is what like 300 or something like that so it's it's it's it's multiples harder for people i think i i i think back to you know the 70s and stuff i think reagan screwed us over heavily i don't think it was just him i think feminism was you know you can never predict this stuff feminism was a huge uh net positive and a huge net negative in a lot of different ways we got to the point where we were wealthy and secure and so we were like totally women can do whatever they want like we've got tons of people we got too many people got so many people why not and then what ends up happening is now we have no families and we have no homes we have houses
Starting point is 00:56:25 homelessness and we don't have families at all so i have to wonder with the malthusians of the world if they're not celebrating something like this you know women are working and being taxed too well this is this is what ends up happening now that you have both men and women working the moment women enter the workplace like it's around i think like the early 1970s instantly you're an employer you need mailroom attendant not a high-skilled job anyone can do it all of a sudden you have twice as many applications and so you're like we can pay you know two bucks an hour or something or i don't know what the wage would have been back then but i imagine something around there and then uh instead of having men competing you had just inundated here's the other thing too if women are less likely to
Starting point is 00:57:17 negotiate a man is at a disadvantage with women in the marketplace because if if if there are nothing but men and i'm not this is not advocacy saying women should not be working i'm saying this is a product of what what has happened and it's something people should consider if there's a job opening and the only applicants are men and they compete with each other they or and they they say to the guy running the company like i want more money and then the other guy's like you're gonna give him more money than i want more money they're all competing the wages are high the profits are lower yeah you bring in women and they say i'll take whatever you can give oh that sounds good because they're more agreeable then all of a sudden negotiating power of the guy is is diminished a guy go a guy goes in against a you
Starting point is 00:57:57 know a man and a woman go to go to a job interview and they say the job pays 50 000 a year and the guy goes i need 60 the woman says okay that's it woman gets the job so 50,000 a year and the guy goes, I need 60. The woman says, okay, that's it. Woman gets the job. So now you've got lower wages through market forces, twice the workforce, and now you've got no one focusing on family and the home. Whatever the solution is that I'm not saying I know, and I'm not saying that I am not advocating against women working.
Starting point is 00:58:23 I think that's a good thing. I'm just saying, consider that, and then we have to recognize where we're going from here. Jordan Peterson got a lot of flack when he said, it's been a disaster, men and women working together. And Vice asked him, what does he mean? He's like, sexual harassment lawsuits are crazy. Look at all the stuff that's going on.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Women are getting abused. It's like, okay, well, that's interesting. I don't know what the solution is though. I wonder if the uh the only result that is possible is that we become a much more traditional country that if if you cannot maintain this level of luxury and security unless you have strong moral values and family then it will fall and then when it invariably invariably becomes less prosperous more dangerous then you'll start to see those who succeed in these environments are
Starting point is 00:59:11 going to be more traditional yeah i agreed that's a good direction to head in i think if women want to work they should be able to but it definitely is positive for families for someone to be home raising children and obviously that's not something everyone can do right now like i'm here but i would like to go in that direction once i have kids yeah you're on your way you're getting married so yeah i got engaged guys you're getting there well there you go that's in the meantime. In the meantime, I don't know. I think we're going to have our dark days. It kind of had to get worse before it got better, though.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Like, it was easy to overlook until there was, like, pornographic material in schools. You can't ignore that. I'm not so confident that, like, easy days are, like, around the corner. Tim might be right. Like closer than ever. I mean, I guess technically closer than yesterday. Okay, fine. But like still like, you know, I think that there's a lot of ways this can go really, really wrong.
Starting point is 01:00:17 They just did human trials for or just the FDA just approved human trials for Neuralink. Yeah. Oh, it's coming. Just yesterday. It scares me talking about that. What happens if Neuralink. Yeah. Oh, it's coming. Just yesterday. Scares me talking about that. What happens if Neuralink ends up being, and again, these problems that we're talking about,
Starting point is 01:00:32 people forget that these, this type of problem, like the nuclear war, or the possibility of a nuclear war, that's a forever problem. Once the genie's out of the bottle, that's it. That's a problem that the human race has to deal with forever. The idea of getting rid of nuclear weapons ain't happening.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Countries are going to have them. That's going to be the same thing with Neuralink. Once they get it to the point where it works well, if you can actually simulate a normal... If Neuralink can simulate reality in your brain, right? So they plug into your brain and then this all goes away. And next thing you know, you're like in Tron world or whatever. That doesn't, they don't put that, you know, power back or that, that technology back in the box.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Yeah. that technology back in the box. So that means that everybody that has a Neuralink for all of time that people have Neuralinks is at least vulnerable to hacking. Human beings. The possibilities that this kind of technology opens up is most people don't understand how important it is and how impactful it's going to be on the human race there are people that that are talking about ai on on twitter and stuff that are literally just begging sam altman to stop like constantly there's this there's this guy uh i forget what
Starting point is 01:01:57 his twitter name is but he's got a fairly decent size count 150 000 or whatever and he's like every time i see him tweet he's like don't you people realize how terrifying this is sam just stop before it goes wrong and he's like all the time and these are people that are like in the know you know i'm just a dumb guy that yells at a stick right these people know what they're talking about so i mean if they're concerned i think that it's that it's something that we should all be concerned with and again these are not problems that go away so we have to come up with solutions that are sustaining solutions yesterday neural link tweeted we're excited to share that we have received the fda's approval to launch our first inhuman clinical study this is the result of incredible work blah
Starting point is 01:02:39 blah blah we got it we got it recruitment is not yet open for our clinical trial we'll announce more information on this soon that's right we are getting very close to the point where they're going to ask humans to submit to neural link implants now for the time being it is read only and that's still okay basically what they can do uh what i was reading is that there's very thin uh like copper wires or whatever that they can lay on, like, the nerves and then start to absorb information and then decode. And I think they were able to track, like, vital signs of pigs or something. I don't know that they've done any kind of real neural link remote control of a person. However, organic remote control already exists.
Starting point is 01:03:21 They've done this in cockroaches i believe in rats what they do with mammals is they can put in an implant which interferes with equilibrium and so they make the animal feel like it's falling over and then it has to run in that direction so if you start leaning forward your body reacts and you try to write yourself up it's called balance they can manipulate that so you'll feel like you're falling backwards and try and start walking forward to try and counteract it because it's almost painful.
Starting point is 01:03:52 So like try and resist. You're like, it's almost like torture. Like vertigo. So they can do this. They can do that now. With Neuralink, the scary thing is going to be once they get to the point
Starting point is 01:04:02 where they can write to your brain. I don't know how far off that is. It may be very, very far away. So like putting thoughts in your brain. Yes. Who is signing up for these studies? It doesn't have to be thoughts. All it has to be is just a little bit of serotonin, a little bit of dopamine.
Starting point is 01:04:22 They can do that now. You don't need Neuralink. Yeah, with phones and stuff. No, no, no no i mean like they can put an implant in your brain you don't need neural link to connect and read data from your brain just we've done it with rats a long time ago they did that experiment where the rat could press a button and get a dopamine hit and such as matching the button when i was talking to the guy from white coat uh waste project earlier man the stuff they do with animals is scary. I don't know if you guys might not want to watch that Culture War episode because it's like talking about the horrible things they do to animals.
Starting point is 01:04:51 But if you don't like Fauci, you probably should watch it because it'll make you not like him more. They talk about how they, yeah, puppies. I don't even want to say it, man, because people are going to get mad. But let me just tell you the psychotic things they do for no reason. It's just like there's evil people just to see it's like mad scientists i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna say it because we've covered it before and i'm pissed off they take beagles and this is funding under fauci and they would put a net around a part of the beagle and then put starved sand flies in it so the flies would eat the dog alive and it's like why, why? I want to see what happened.
Starting point is 01:05:30 That was one of the stories that we talked about was they put hamsters on steroids and then made them fight. And I'm like, I hear that. I start laughing. And I'm like, you're kidding. Like they spent a million dollars to put hamsters on steroids and make them fight. I'm busting out laughing. And then I watched the video and I got really angry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Because like you're imagining hamsters and they're like buffing them up. And then you watch the video and i got really angry yeah because like you're imagining hamsters and they're like buffing them up and then you watch the video and it's it's it's really what is their explanation for why they think that is necessary or what they're saying some of it does make sense some of it is like we are testing a new methodology for treating wounds and something and we're like okay we get it but the problem is so much of this stuff is literally just like please don't fire me i need a grant and so and and the government is funding this stuff i don't want to go off on that tangent when it comes to the issue of neural link my point is simply that we've done the studies on animals where we can control their brains i brought it up because he told me that they did this thing where they hooked up ivs to i think monkeys that fed them nicotine and then they could press a button to get a nicotine hit.
Starting point is 01:06:27 And it's just like, man, the stuff they can do to people, the stuff they've learned. When it comes to Neuralink, the moment they can write things into your brain, they can then say to you, Taylor, why are you so hellbent on being an activist? You know, wouldn't you rather just go into your own universe where you are x games gold medalist here just just plug in check this out try it one time you plug in and then all of a sudden you're in this universe where they can simulate feelings and people and it's ai generated and they and right when they plug you in they walk up to you and say you just won gold at the x Games Street, Taylor.
Starting point is 01:07:05 What do you have to say to all of your fans? And you're there, and you can feel it like you're really there. So many people are going to say, I give up. Give me that. See, I feel like I'd turn that down. I like the realness of this.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Okay. Okay, I'll one-up you. But it would feel real. You are on vacation, or let's just say one day, you're sleeping, and you wake up, everything's seemingly normal, and then you check your phone, and you get an email, and it's like, hey, we're inviting you to the X Games to compete. And you're like, whoa, really? And then they're like, yeah, can you fly out?
Starting point is 01:07:42 And you're like, yes. And so you go about your life like normal, and you fly out, and then you win. And then what you like, yeah, can you fly out? And you're like, yes. And so you go about your life like normal and you fly out and then you win. And then what you don't realize is- Tim's making me sound like a way better skateboarder than I am right now. What you don't realize is that- Or maybe an AI I am. Because you were disruptive to the ESG machine while you were sleeping, they plugged you in. And you never knew.
Starting point is 01:08:02 I wish this was just a horror movie plot and not a potential reality well the vr and then here's the best part when people are like whatever happened to taylor they'll be like oh she she went to metaverse yeah she totally bought she's gone no they're like no she's right here like you want it you want to see what she's up to like she didn't go anywhere she's like chilling in a pod yep and they're gonna be like here she signed off on on joining neuralink and she's living out her dreams of being the best gator in the world guys people are gonna be like wow I can't believe anyone ever says I went into metaverse it's a lie I did not consent so this is changing the subject a little bit but uh I think James Lindsay is listening tonight because he's reading
Starting point is 01:08:38 he just tweeted something about the uh Wisconsin LGBT chamber of commerce this is from 2016 harley davidson is the newest platinum founding member of the lgbt chamber so i mean it's you know like i said it's a little old but you know we're talking about esg and um and harley davidson well there's your answer yeah so if you are if you ride harley davidson's you are like if you're a if you're a man who enjoys engaging in adult relations other men harley davidson's the brand for you it's it's not supposed to be funny i'm you know you don't gotta laugh i mean seriously i'm like that's the that's the brand message they're creating and i'm like that's cool like i don't know i got a i got an electric motorcycle it's fun it's cool's fun. It's too dangerous, though.
Starting point is 01:09:25 And that's why I've never used it. It's fast. Yeah, it's insanely fast and it makes no sound. And so it's just like, yeah, I don't know about all that. Yeah, you're going to get hit. I'm still laughing about what you said before the show. What? I don't want to steal it, but about how this is going to be great for, like, the Judas
Starting point is 01:09:43 Priest lovers. Oh, my gosh. The Judas Priest fan base. Not really. I like Judas Priest. I'm not hating. Look, I'm one of the biggest Judas Priest fans there is, so I'm not judging at all.
Starting point is 01:09:56 But, you know, Rob's got that look. Yeah. He's also got that lifestyle. Yeah. It's a cool band. They're one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time you're into like gay motorcycle stuff well you don't have to be gay to like judas priest of course not that like that was before everything was all political and pick
Starting point is 01:10:16 a side and all or nothing everything you know you know but the problem is i think like what didn't maynard he was in drag is that what? Maynard did that in Florida, yeah. They're doing this because they're like, ha-ha, these bigots don't like dragons. Like, dude, we don't care. We don't want the kids there. Yeah. Like, bro, if you want to do drag, I don't care what you do. Like, have fun, man.
Starting point is 01:10:34 I don't think anyone would have cared if Target would have put out some, like, gay flag t-shirts. It was when they started making the baby onesies and the tuxedos. No, I think the pride stuff would have sparked a negative reaction anyway. Yeah, but I don't think it would have been as extreme. I do. Really? Yeah, I don't think, I don't,
Starting point is 01:10:52 it's the tucking onesies, swimsuits. Well, yeah, that's a bit extreme. But the issue is that a guy has got, a man and woman, you know, in their early 30s, have a couple of kids, they're young kids. They walk in to go grocery shopping. They see this stuff and they immediately, whoa, turn the kids around. And they're like, I'm not ready to explain to my six-year-old kid what this stuff means.
Starting point is 01:11:13 When my son says, what does gay mean? He's like, let me, I got to talk about the birds and the bees now. Like, they're not old enough for this stuff. We're not putting stuff where it's like there may be things this is what they argue like there's all this straight propaganda and straight it's like dude a man and a woman together in an ad is not overtly sexual saying this is a heterosexual couple above it flashing lights with a flag now the kids are going to ask what does that mean the parents might be like hey i don't want to have to explain, like, this is not appropriate for kids. I think no matter how
Starting point is 01:11:49 they would have done it, it would have sparked, now, if it was just a rainbow flag or something, I don't think the kid would have said anything. Nobody would have cared. If they put gay pride and stuff like that and LGBT, then I think families would have been like, this is not what I want my kids to be around. They're not ready for this. These parents may not even be against it. They may just be like, my kid's too young. I'm not going to shop around. They're not ready for this. These parents may not even be against it. They may just be like, my kid's too young. Yeah. I'm not going to shop there. I think parents should be able to explain that stuff on their own timing.
Starting point is 01:12:13 And kids should be able to have their innocence maintained. They don't need to know everything all at once. That is totally. I don't completely agree with it. It's totally against the law. What do you mean? So there's that video people talk about where those kids are interviewed during like world war two or something.
Starting point is 01:12:28 And these like 10 year old kids sound like they're 40 year old adults. Yeah. Because kids didn't use to get sheltered so heavily from, from reality. I do think it's fair to be like, my child is not old enough to learn about sex ed and the birds and the bees when it comes to innocence and all that stuff i'm like dude i'm not saying the kids should be in the mines they do yearn for
Starting point is 01:12:50 them minecraft is proof but kids should have jobs children should be working and i will say that with absolute vigor and passion because the left will be like liberals they're like they want kids working yes i do yeah i want seven-year-olds in in mom and pop's candy shop picking up the groceries filling out paperwork and learning from their parents what it is to to have a job and to earn and to engage in commerce so when people talk about innocence i'm like dude children should be around when when parents are talking about some politics i guess i mean that the sexual right that i get that's what i said i somewhat disagree like yeah when it comes to the birds and the bees if you're talking about lgbt stuff and you're like no my kids are not old
Starting point is 01:13:39 enough for this totally get it but if we're talking about biden democrats war faith all that stuff children should be hearing what the parents think about the current state of affairs. And kids should be working. Yes, absolutely. The children do yearn for the mines. Absolutely true. And there's nothing wrong with like what you're talking about so objectionable to keep kids with their families working and it's preferable to send them to other people to raise your children. That is antithetical to essentially how people have raised families and societies have grown for basically the whole of humanity until the past, 150 200 years since the industrial revolution um so that i think that alone is is a is a silly starting point but you were talking
Starting point is 01:14:34 about uh kids asking questions and stuff that's the intent the lgb the politically queer right the the people that have that are activists and stuff they want to have kids exposed to lgbt stuff for the specific reason of to make kids ask questions it's planting the seed it's called generative issues they're or they're called generative generative issues it generates the convert the political conversations that the left wants now parents having control over what their kids do and do not see means that parents decide when these topics will come up if these topics will come up at all that is something that the left does not want at all they want to be able to introduce ideas to the to kids to make kids think of these political
Starting point is 01:15:27 topics and it's it's bad for kids there are certain times where these things can be discussed in the proper context but just shoving this stuff these types of generative issues in front of kids whether it be lgbt issues or sometimes more what's the word i'm looking for uh shocking or more negative uh type of topics like like poverty and wealth and wealth inequality and kids don't understand you know the comp the complexity of why there are some people in poverty and why there are not you know why some people are not and it's not as simple as just oh well you know the rich people are bad and the poor people are good which is kind of the way that the left tends to frame it so these these ideas that that you should that the government or that that
Starting point is 01:16:15 the schools should be dictating when kids are exposed to these ideas and also telling the children the answers right like if you if you have them asking the questions and and and you put gender of issues in front of kids that means that the school has a answer that they prefer that may may conflict with the parents which clearly if you're conservative and you're religious and they're being exposed to lgbt issues you would have an issue with the way the public school is going to get is going to deliver the uh you know the answers to the gender of question so it's all bad parent it's great that parents are starting to be aware of it um but that that's the intent is to corrupt the children is essentially what it
Starting point is 01:17:03 boils down to i'd love to do like, maybe something we can do. Short films would be really fun. Exploring the aftermath of so many of these issues. Because I'm thinking about Neuralink and I'm thinking prisons will no longer exist. You will no longer have jail. You commit a crime, you get sentenced to Neuralink supervision. They say, we're not going to lock you up you're not losing your job you're not being taken from your family you're going to get a neural link
Starting point is 01:17:29 implant and a suppressor and the suppressor will stop you from committing crimes and then after three years we remove the suppressor if it's a felony you keep the suppressor for life and it's like that's due process it's like you're sentenced to life of suppression and like what does that really mean it means if you start to get angry or aggressive or try and target someone you'll just stop yeah and then you'll see a guy out in the street and he'll see someone i'll run for the person just go and slow down and then and then freeze and then it'll pause him for like 30 seconds and then the woman will be like oh geez and then he'll slowly start to go backwards and then be like uh no more prisons well not, not just that. I was thinking they can either
Starting point is 01:18:05 erase memories or write false memories. So if you commit a crime, they can make you a total commie or something like that, or just completely change who you are as a person. That's even further down the road. The first thing is, they'll say,
Starting point is 01:18:21 we've decided we can save billions of dollars and end prisons and crowding and overcrowding and reform law enforcement and save money by implementing neural link sentencing. You will get people who will agree to it. They'll say no one will be forced to do it. Someone will get convicted and say you have an option of seven years in prison or you will be free to leave after undergoing a neural link implant to prevent the commission of
Starting point is 01:18:43 crimes in the future. And then they're all going to start agreeing to it. Then you're going to see private prisons going under because they have no inmates. Then you're going to see the prison government be like, we don't need to fund this prison anymore because everyone's choosing Neuralink. Then it will become standard. There will be small sort of prisons. Sometimes most people won't take them. Then eventually it will be absolute Neuralink.
Starting point is 01:19:02 Then you're going to have so many people Neuralinked not just for that reason. You're going to apply for a job and they're going to say your qualifications are excellent. When can you start? And you'll say tomorrow, first thing, like awesome. What's your Neuralink ID, user ID? Well, I don't have a Neuralink. You don't have a Neuralink?
Starting point is 01:19:21 I mean, our meetings are in Neuralink. How are we going to get in touch with you? Like, well, if you get one, but this job requires you have neural link. It's gonna be the new cell phone. Then once it's ubiquitous is when you start getting a Twitter like hive mind program. And then a hundred years later, we're all the board.
Starting point is 01:19:38 Just marching around in unison, buzzing and doing, just being in the machine. There's a big part of me that thinks that the reason elon musk wants to have like colonies and stuff like that is so that way the whole of the human race doesn't get assimilated if there's colonies that are all spread throughout the the uh solar system then eventually throughout maybe the the local region or whatever then that might possibly protect the human race even like with the like anti-world government thing at the government summit too even for you know on earth not just you know multi-planetary but yeah he said he said like if something goes wrong in one part of civilization like
Starting point is 01:20:16 it won't be an entire collapse it would be you know one yeah but i don't i don't think we're about to start surviving on Mars without assistance from Earth. Yeah, that's absolutely true. The ecosystem is this... Planet Earth is sustained by not just what's on it, but the position of it around the sun. The amount of energy we absorb from the sun and things like that. I have to imagine that plant life won't grow nearly as well on Mars. You'd have to imagine that plant life won't grow nearly as well on mars you would have to you'd have to create artificial light but the amount of energy you'd have to generate to then convert it's
Starting point is 01:20:52 it's almost better just synthesizing the sugars manually i'd imagine unless the process plants have the what is it called um well photosynthesis is the simple version i suppose but there's the cycle i i forget my fifth grade science. But I just imagine it's, I can't see us making it on Mars, not without the support from Earth. Could you imagine agreeing to go to Mars? It's the fifth generation Mars colony. There's 200 people who live there. A little town and they're like, you go there.
Starting point is 01:21:22 It is possible to come back, but it's like a two-year wait list because it's so difficult. And then you go there and you're like, I'm on Mars for a two-year stint in the colony it's been here for 50 years and then you you're watching on tv which the signal takes 20 minutes 20 minute delay or whatever and it's like earth civilization has collapsed mars colony you're on your own oh boy oh my gosh yeah yeah it would collapse there's a show called the uh i forget it's a space show on amazon but they have uh colonies on mars and and the asteroid belt it's very much you mean um the expanse yep yep and they do a good job of uh yeah it's cool in the the asteroid belt i don't know too much about it people are really tall and thin because there's very little gravity so they're just like really tall lanky people
Starting point is 01:22:05 yeah dude but i wonder how time dilation would affect people on mars too yeah that's another that's another question too because it's like even with like the space station and stuff people come back with different effects um so they have to like i think limit the amount of time they're up there and mars has what two-thirds of the earth's gravity or something like that it's like two-thirds of science but it's the uh the speed at which the planet is moving and its gravity affecting how you go through time. And I think Mars, it's faster. I could be wrong. I am really weirded out by the idea of people going to Mars.
Starting point is 01:22:36 Because I feel like God perfectly designed things here. We have water to drink. Food grows out of the ground. We have air that we can breathe. Why would we leave? Well, God made Mars god made mars too i was gonna say that yeah but there's there aren't people there no but it's not as sustainable for yet but there's an argument to be made that he gave us the knowledge to produce things that could get us i don't that place i don't that that's an interesting thought i don't i don't think God created the universe and its possibilities to then be like, but you shouldn't. There's this other stuff to explore too.
Starting point is 01:23:10 I was going to say he also created free will. I can understand don't do immoral things. But it kind of feels like it's there. There's nothing amoral or wrong with going there and spreading life. And, you know's it's like a challenge before humans i guess i i just mean i feel like all the things designed here that work to sustain life maybe that's for a reason there's too much out there for down here to be the only place that god wanted people to be if they're like think about how much like how big the the galaxy is right just the galaxy
Starting point is 01:23:46 never mind the universe and if you believe that god created the universe there is so much of out there out there i can't imagine why he would be like no you can only stay on that one little dot the crazy thing about star trek is that it all takes place in in the milky way galaxy and the universe is substantially larger than just our galaxy i mean we've got photos of all these other galaxies all over the place it's crazy how much exists the scary thing is that if we can't actually travel fast in the speed of light or warp or anything like that we ain't never gonna see these places yeah they may as well not exist yeah the scariest thing is there will come a time i don't i don't the sun may explode before this but it is it is hypothetically possible that the universe expands to a point where you will not be able to see anything yeah from the earth you look up to the sky you'll see black because the things will have
Starting point is 01:24:41 moved so far away the light is I believe the expansion of the universe is happening so quickly that the light actually can't make it in any reasonable amount of time. It's possible that life could have emerged on Earth with us looking up and seeing nothing and then thinking there was nothing. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:24:58 Yeah. I mean, there's, if you're, if you are a, I mean, if you believe in a Big Bang, then you would believe that there is going to be an end to the universe as well. Not true. And a Big Bang? So the Big Crunch is an old hypothesis. So like oscillating?
Starting point is 01:25:15 Yeah, it is now considered to be not correct. So when the Big Bang, so before Big Bang was solid state, I believe it was called, Solid State Theory, the universe is and always has been. Then they said Big Bang. Then someone said, if Big Bang, Big Crunch, because gravity will then start to pull things back upon itself. And then they've actually found since that theory that the universe actually has sped up its expansion, and they don't think that Big Crunch is a reality. Big Rip or Heat Death.
Starting point is 01:25:44 Heat Death is where they currently think things are going i guess but i just like to point out that humans are basically specks on the ass of a mosquito in the universe and so what we think we know is just so minimal so the science is not settled on that yeah i saw a philosophical take i saw a uh just a you know an illustration of how long you know the the the luminous part of the the universe life is going to be and it's like if you look at it look at like until all of the stars burn out right until the the all of the stars go black the the amount of time from when the first star is born until the end compared to i don't know how they they gauge it but it's like it's an instant if you think about
Starting point is 01:26:32 how much like eternity is right so like because all the stars have a lifespan and it's like to think of the the magnitude of infinity is is something else i'm excited for the mars expansion pack to get set up in the simulation so that you know it's like one day we wake up and they're like the technology to colonize mars now exists and you're like well that was fast we're gonna go to mars in our head that's that's the true trip to mars yeah so um one thing i've mentioned several times with uh fermi's paradox is that um intelligent life may be limited by its quest towards self-stimulation humans right now are working not towards for the most part colonizing other planets but we're actually all of our technology is moving towards video games porn sugar we are
Starting point is 01:27:19 just giving ourselves what we crave elon musk is trying to get us to mars noble endeavor and then the rest of humanity is like i'd like to plug myself into the virtual reality machine to live as a playboy in south america drug lord or something and have all the women and the money and that's what people are are opting for i think i think when neural link gets to that point i think everyone chooses it like it's like the dude in the matrix they're gonna come to you and they're like look man you can go in the pod and enter this metaverse where you will live you'll experience time half the speed so you'll live twice as long and you will be your own god and everyone's gonna be like i want to do that it's interesting how
Starting point is 01:28:01 eon is on both ends though with Neuralink and then SpaceX. Yep. Pretty interesting there. Well, I mean, I think that the Neuralink stuff, I really do think that the point that he's looking for is to overcome disability and stuff like that. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And that's the great thing about it right now is that I think there's already been a lot of strides made in nerve connection uh repairing damaged nerves that people can start walking
Starting point is 01:28:30 again you still have to relearn because you have to figure out how to move you guys ever do an eeg ever wear an eeg an electroencephalogram it's a headband you can put on and then uh so i did this like 10 years ago we bought this headband and then it's got like a thick like two things that go over your head like on different points and it's it reads brain waves there's a program that's got a red line and a blue line that are moving up and down randomly you can learn to control the blue and red lines i could not figure it out well and i'm like thinking hard and i'm like how do you move this thing like i know how to move my hands i've lived my whole life moving my hands but being presented with the screen and being like it is now connected
Starting point is 01:29:16 to your brain waves and your thoughts and you can learn how to control this and i would think like move up move up you really need to figure it out the crazy thing is my friend's sister she put it on and she was like what do you want me to do and like move the balloon line to go okay and the balloon line would go up and we were like whoa that's nuts i want to try that now yeah and this is like 10 years ago so like we ordered one of these things it never came i don't know what happened to it that's kind of kind of i should probably order one they've got they've had uh like monkeys control the ping pong thing i've seen that but but this means that you have to learn how to control it so when they reconnect your nerves
Starting point is 01:29:50 it's the same thing you're like trying to figure out how to make it move and then all of a sudden it happens and you're like brain that was it keep doing more of that yeah otherwise you know you just don't have that connection but yeah with these eegs theoretically you could fly a drone with your brain you could put on the headband and then connect it to the controller and then fly the drone with your thoughts well you couldn't but your friend's sister probably could no i could i just take me a lot of practice like the fact that my friend's sister was able to just do it we were just like whoa like that's crazy we should test it live but we we uh because this this program had two outputs a red and a blue line that could differentiate we were like we could make the drone constantly be going down and then you could think
Starting point is 01:30:32 up and then the other could rotate so you wouldn't be able to zoom it around and move it around but with this limited eeg technology we are like you could learn to fly it up spin it and fly it down now i'm pretty sure we're advanced the point where the EEG has like multiple nodes that can read like 16 different patterns or whatever. In which case you can, you only need like I think three to control. You need up, down, left, right, and spin. So what is that? Altitude, yaw, whatever. I don't know the terminology.
Starting point is 01:31:02 Those are the words. Pitch, roll. That's what, pitch, roll, and yaw, I think. Interesting. Yeah. I'm not sure which one's which, though. I don't know. I think yaw is kind of like the left and right.
Starting point is 01:31:12 And then roll is this, and then pitch is forward. Yeah. There you go. Interesting. You can fly drones with your brain. See? Feature's not so bad. Feature's not so bad.
Starting point is 01:31:22 The war is going to be crazy when like 10 000 micro drones with bombs on them swarm a city and just take out a whole building that's going to be nuts i am i'm i'm loathe to admit it but i am actually like interested to see who the first person that's going to get killed by like a drone with like the just a small like little bullet where they just fly the thing and because I saw this I saw it was a sci-fi thing but they were making these little drones we talked about where a
Starting point is 01:31:53 drone would just fly in and it's got a 22 you know bullet and yeah that's it could be this big you know it's small alright everybody let's go to super chats if you haven't already would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this channel share the show with your friends it's the greatest show everyone agrees and become a member at timcast.com we're going to read your super chats sage tim says who is more likely to lose trump versus biden or desantis versus biden
Starting point is 01:32:18 if you pick trump are you willing to risk four more years with Biden to have Trump be the GOP nominee? Trump lost to Biden before. I think that doesn't work, that argument, for me, because there was a pandemic. We will see what happens in the next year. I also think that I've had conversations with friends and family, and I really do feel like people are waking up to what's going on. And I think the groomer stuff is really snapping people to attention attention people don't like it when people are messing with their kids and it's just it's it's it's shocking it's it's it's it's an instant whoa wait what so before when you say something like did you know when it comes to abortion the democrats like i don't know about what you're talking about you show them a picture of the drag queen story hour and they go hey wait
Starting point is 01:33:01 a minute right away but we'll see man we'll see we are still a ways away we got a year to go before we even get into the into the heart of primary season so yep raymond g stanley jr says tim from meat eating flies to fight club style hamster that's some sick stuff i want to decided to identify as a monkey papa needs some crack yeah the the culture war podcast today youtube.com slash timcast. Crazy stuff. Talking about how the government is wasting your money on nonsense studies to torture animals because these people don't want to lose jobs.

They spent millions giving monkeys crack. Oh, wow. For real. And I'm just like, they they spent millions giving monkeys crack. Oh, wow. For real. And I'm just like, dude, for what reason?
Starting point is 01:33:49 Yeah. What are you trying to learn? Like, well, we don't know what to learn. And I'm like, it's a bunch of this. Rand Paul always like details in his waste report. Right, right, right, right. Yep. Have a good laugh at those, but also crying at the same time.
Starting point is 01:34:00 It's our money. And it's sad. Animals are being abused. Yeah. I'm not your buddy guy says in trump voice don't be a deceptive folks it's not very popular from what i hear many say not me but many say it's terrible being a deceptive digital dna says fbi rating a democrat is stage play are you even reading a real story yeah a blah adam says tim i'm not a bud uh tim not a bud light insight on the new joe rogan experience protect our parks episode usually empty bud light cans are scattered about on the table protect our parks episode jre is that what you're talking about joe rogan
Starting point is 01:34:45 i don't know someone should write a script to search through um instagram photos that go up over more of the weekend to look for bud light cans oh yeah see how many are actually there beckerwood says someone should create a watermark watermark llc any politician should use a watermark if duplicated the media publisher should be held responsible interesting yeah me wait we we may be entering me way we may be entering a period where only official photos with an encryption shared on them or something like that with a verification maybe blockchain i was just gonna say i am matt what if like it's like nfts because that's essentially what an nft is yeah that's interesting only the key holder can verify authenticity
Starting point is 01:35:37 actually yeah interesting where are we at people that don't know nfts are non-fungible tokens so it's like imagine bitcoins but instead of having all the bitcoins be the same it's all the bitcoins but just have like pictures or they're all individually marked so they're not fungible anyways nate says i drive a truck for a living and i saw this ad 12 times today on LED billboards referencing the Harley Davidson Bud Light thing. Man, they're just digging their hole. Remember, South Park said it best. Donald DeVole says the new Budweiser ad with Harley Davidson is gay.
Starting point is 01:36:27 P.S. I shorted Budweiser stock and so far i made enough money to cover a year of timcast wow nice yeah so i would assume a lot of people will short the stock of these companies that are getting woke what does jim kramer have to say about it i want to know well he's undefeated leaf hagan says epic times reported that russia state media is trying to convince u.s and canadian conservatives to immigrate to russia where they'll be safe from wokeism reminds me of isis recruiting americans yeah nah yeah nice try russia you're not gonna people say stuff like russia is fighting wokeness and stuff i'm like sure and they're also just like it's the government is bad you know i mean like like i was saying this before i don't like joe biden at all but if joe biden and vladimir putin were standing in front of me and they both told me a thing i'm gonna have to go
Starting point is 01:37:13 joe biden just because we share at least some common interests he was probably lying i don't know but i don't think he wants his house in delaware to blow up so at the very least i can count on that yeah whereas i don't know i don't live in Russia. I don't trust Vladimir Putin when it comes to this stuff. Not that I think the U S is innocent or anything, but you're, you should not be believing that your adversaries, even if the U S does wrong, have your best interests because Vladimir Putin would absolutely love for the
Starting point is 01:37:37 United States to be completely destroyed. You know, you're not, you're not, you're not coming out of this one just because the deep state is bad. Lighting fire says Bud Light is now cheaper to buy than a paper Target and Walmart. It's free. What do you, what do you mean?
Starting point is 01:37:55 Martin Edgar says a guy was checking out with Coors Light at the store in a small town in northern Michigan. When I asked no Bud Light, he said no, no tyranny for me. That's right. He said no tyranny for me. That's right. He said no tyranny. All right. We're at Pinochet's helicopter tour, says Budweiser, proudly known as, well, we're not going to read that one. We'll keep it light here. We'll keep it light here, guys.

So we could see some fireworks come Tuesday morning. Sparky says, The local mom and pop store felt sorry for the distributor
Starting point is 01:38:36 and got a pallet of bush. I commented, Don't clog up your shelves with InBev crap. Distributor was pissed. He wanted to fight. I ignored him. Yeah, the most annoying thing about this are the people who run this the bud light distributors and they'll be like guys

Starting point is 01:39:36 stevie bb says biggest question where does the expired bud light get dumped they're making the frogs gay there's a video where they steamroll over cans of beer. People thought that was them destroying Bud Light. It's not. It's how they dispose of old beer. Gotta get rid of it. How long does it take before it goes bad? I don't know. I thought beer lasts forever.
Starting point is 01:39:59 Remember, Bud has the Born On date. Or they had that as their marketing thing. So I don't know how long it lasts. But they're putting the date that it was uh bottled on so david larue says hey tim and friends i'm a nightly listener love what y'all have been doing and appreciate everyone uh everyone you guys do everyone we do we don't do everyone i watched the sean ryan show recently with the Ryan Montgomery interview. I think you guys should take a deep dive into, what is this?
Starting point is 01:40:30 Into one day chickens for all. What is that? I don't know. One day chickens for all. We've got a bunch of baby chickens about to be born. Yeah. Roberto Jr. is going to be a dad. He might already be a dad.
Starting point is 01:40:43 The ones downstairs? Yeah, they should be hatching like right now. Yeah there's like 30 i think 32 and then we have another 32 they're gonna hatch in another couple days we're gonna have like 70 based probably 60 chicken babies it's really cute the um the coach and marshmallow had two. And when we came in to give the leftover sushi, just the fresh sashimi, she came out of the... She's in a mini coop, which has its own internal thing. And she came out and the babies came out with her and they were walking around doing chicken stuff. Yeah. Very cute to watch the mama chicken take care of her babies.
Starting point is 01:41:20 Only one Silky's made it though, unfortunately. They're not very good at you know making more of themselves but they're trying spudly 25 says bud light has always been considered the gay little brother of budweiser in my state this just proves it to everyone else which day is that villainous v says tim make june the noble rooster month buck buck yes rooster pride month yeah we're really excited we're working with uh shamus on a limited edition coffee run so it'll be like a collector's bag the thing about these bags is that they fold up flat and so you will have the shamus freedom tune style art we're still working on it exactly but we have a general idea it's uh um irish themed
Starting point is 01:42:03 i don't want to say too much just yet until we get it until we get it going but uh yes irish coffee if you get my drift so uh that'll be fun and then we're probably gonna do a lot more of that you know eventually just have cool we want to do different pictures of roberto jr on the bags so it can be like this bag has print number one number two number three and then that's it once they're gone they're gone collect them all that is pretty cool and then in 20 years people will be like you have a roberto jr number one yeah and it's signed by phil no wow someone's gonna show up to an all that remains concert be like phil phil and they're gonna hold the bag and i'll sign the cd i'll sign it bring it on it's funny that people still sell CDs. Have you noticed that?
Starting point is 01:42:46 Like in a city. And someone will be like, buy a CD. I'm like, I'm not a CD player, dude. I can't imagine who has a CD player. I know there are people that are buying tapes now. Like there are bands that are making actual cassette tapes to go along with vinyl. I got a record player. I like the vinyl. Vinyls. Vinyls are probably more popular than CDs.
Starting point is 01:43:02 You know why I like vinyl? Not because of my weird quality or anything like that i like it because it plays through cds do i get it but i don't know they're just not i like the vinyls there's a straight playthrough just the thing just goes and you can pick it up and just move it it's the analog of you know the analog fact you know the fact that it's analog as opposed to digital you know i like being able to just take the thing and put the song back you know and and watching it just do its thing oh and also at the at the new cafe we got one of those um vinyl recorder machines
Starting point is 01:43:34 it's there so excited for this it's not set up yet because we're not we're actually still just doing basic construction and stuff and it's taking forever but it's this thing where um called like a voiceograph you go inside you put in money and then it starts recording and you talk and it cuts a vinyl record oh wow and then drops it out and you take it and boom so very expensive but very cool so we're we want to have it so that you can come in you pay for you you pay like 20 bucks or whatever and you can cut your own vinyl it's big enough to have a guitar i was just gonna ask that could you do like an acoustic set in there yep we we specifically requested they make it big enough so that you can have a guitar in there oh it was like custom made
Starting point is 01:44:12 yeah it's the only way to get it wow yeah it's a dude who does it that's awesome yeah i've never even heard of that jack white's got one at his place in uh i think in uh where where is that in nashville yeah so we got one for ours and we're very excited for this it'll be really cool we can like have seamus go in there and do like a couple gags with voices and then have a unique single one-time recording never heard anywhere else very fun stuff what do we got realty web designer says phil labonte is that his name just looked him up he's legit first song i heard what if i was nothing wow kudos brother you're good realtor is looking
Starting point is 01:44:52 me up if you want a website thank you very much look him up if you want a website yeah it's usually people saying two weeks was that your big one that's our biggest one yeah that uh that one's our platinum one what if i was nothing is uh i mean it's pretty big that's the that was the the first like power ballad that we did like love song and stuff so that one i think the new one you got coming out i can't wait yeah that's a good one i can't wait we got we got some fire coming guys fire timcast privilege getting to hear the early all that remains though hyped jason dixon says hey tim i had 500 plus shares with harley davidson inc put in a sell order at 31 i think
Starting point is 01:45:32 it just sold going to buy more bitcoin join the discord join the discord he says become a member at timcast.com join the discord hang out with like-minded individuals and then after six months you can submit questions call in the show or sign up at 25 bucks and you can call in the show we do that just because we're trying to keep out bad people we have to have some kind of gating process it's imperfect i wish it was easier that one gamer says i'm turning 21 later this year and i was torn between buying a harley sportster and an indian scout 60 looks like my mind is made up indian makes better bikes anyways. Well, there you go. Easy enough. Ian Kenny says, have you ever asked chat GPT when human life begins?
Starting point is 01:46:09 It'll give you the scientific answer and an ideological answer simultaneously. Yeah, and I was using chat GPT and I also tried perplexity.ai, which is also very good. It's like, it's very similar to chat GPT. But I mentioned this the other day,
Starting point is 01:46:23 chat GPT is very racist. It's very, to chat gpt but uh i mentioned this the other day chat gpt is very racist it's very very racist you know it will it will do it will mock white cultural jokes irish or italian or whatever it'll do voices like in text it'll say yeah mama me or whatever but it won't do asian and i'm like but why not like why are you excluding me from your fun it's like we're all gonna have jokes and have high five each other but you you go over there you can't play with us very racist very racist chpd depending on who you ask it's racist towards everyone or racist towards asians it's racist towards everyone who's not white oh okay i thought you meant it would make stereotypical jokes.
Starting point is 01:47:05 If you're Polish, if you're Irish, if you're Italian, if you're any white European, it will make jokes about those groups. Okay, so it's like picky about. But it won't say City Walk. It's not picky. City Walk? Can I take your order? It's not picky. It literally will make jokes about white people and nobody else.
Starting point is 01:47:24 How many South Park references are you going to make today? All right, let's grab some more. Savvy Rose says, it's not just popular, Tim. These companies have entire departments dedicated to equality, diversity, etc. I understand that. And that is ESG stuff. I'm saying for a lot of it, it's just like, can we sell this product? We have a sticker.
Starting point is 01:47:43 It's on their website, right? So here's what I think. They would not have DEI departments if it caused a Bud Light effect. So the more this persists, the more they lose and the more we don't buy from them, then they'll start pulling this stuff away. Neglectful sausages. So what? Your heteronormative non-communist country is already gone
Starting point is 01:48:06 10 is a tipping point they're well beyond that your kids are being ideologically captured just like mao and h boy did wow cultural revolution what say you phil labonte i think that it is a cultural revolution going on in the united states right now. Most people are still like, they're like, you're wrong, blah, blah, blah, blah. But all of the things that, that you see, like the, the retraining and stuff, that's just, that's brainwashing. That's, that's, you know, um, I forget what they called it, uh, in, uh, in China, but the DEI stuff, all that, all of that stuff is just being, it's trying to get companies to, to comply with the,
Starting point is 01:48:49 the program that they, they have, you know, it's the weirdest thing. Uh, hydro PX says, can we see all of you guys writing cursive? Let's see how many people in the room know how to,
Starting point is 01:49:00 I don't understand. Don't we all, I think we're all old enough to know how. Yeah, I can. And like, I don't really write that often, but yeah,'re all old enough to know how yeah I can and like I don't really write that often
Starting point is 01:49:06 but yeah it's writing in cursive it was mandatory when I was a child for half my life I had to write everything in cursive and still do
Starting point is 01:49:13 I write I have to write like really short things I don't write like big papers or anything like that wait who's the youngest one here
Starting point is 01:49:19 Kellen yeah me you can write in cursive I can't I feel like I forgot like how to do some of the letters some of the more weird ones but my natural handwriting is can write in cursive, right? I feel like I forgot how to do some of the letters, some of the more weird ones, but my natural
Starting point is 01:49:25 handwriting is like 30% cursive and regular writing. It's weird. But my L's are definitely cursive and stuff. Do you guys know what year that was cut out of the program? I have no idea. That blows my mind. I didn't realize that they actually stopped teaching kids. Yeah, they stopped teaching
Starting point is 01:49:41 cursive. Really? That was a while ago. You didn't know this? Wow. That's what he's talking about. So what are signatures these days? I don't know. That's interesting, yeah. How do they read the Constitution? Isn't that written in cursive? They didn't. They're creating a generation of incompetent people
Starting point is 01:49:58 who will be helpless. And the only thing they're going to be good for is complaining and throwing bricks. I wonder how that'll play out for them because capable people are going to survive. Like, it's math. Yeah. You know, they can be communist all they want. If they can't read cursive, then they're going to be like, it's some kind of code.
Starting point is 01:50:17 No, it's cursive. I, the elder Gen Zer, will read it for you. I want to Google this to make sure it wasn't a rumor but i swear they stopped teaching cursive yeah i would probably say when you know ipad kids became the thing and then you know just i mean people use computers and technology now so even handwriting i think in the next 20 years is going to be oh yeah like i mean my handwriting has been awful my whole life now i don't know if this is for sure accurate, but it says here that in 2010,
Starting point is 01:50:48 the U.S. government officially removed cursive from the required Common Core standards for K-12 education. It was when Common Core came out. Oh, interesting. Like, when I'm signing stuff, I'm writing my name in cursive. Yeah, it's just natural.
Starting point is 01:51:04 Yeah. And then I have to write checks. Yeah. When I'm like, name in cursive yeah it's just natural and then I have to write checks when I'm like I don't print don't they require it in cursive? I don't know I wouldn't say I write all that often but like a couple times per week
Starting point is 01:51:18 I'm writing something out like a name of a company or something that's weird or if you want to write a nice card make it look good yeah don't you sign stuff and people ask me to like sign stuff and i'll write like hey thanks you know whatever i don't know uh but shout out to hydro i think you're like our second biggest super chatter so thank you for all the contributions we really do appreciate i think he does like 50 bucks a day or more it's very very kind of you sir we really do appreciate it you're keep you're you're solely uh singularly keeping this this whole show going if it wasn't for you all right the yeti says
Starting point is 01:51:50 i'm military and my comrades complain about the newer generation i'm reminded one today i reminded one today i reminded one today the older generations are fully responsible for this every generation has bad apples but ours were tougher yeah every generation going back has been responsible for the generations after it so you can't just look at gen x and the boomers and be like haha it's their fault they didn't they didn't raise us right well they then their parents didn't raise them right and their parents didn't raise them right it is just a generational decay kinky walrus says gen z doesn't believe they can achieve anything anymore, so they just give up. They don't want to be a wage slave on a treadmill
Starting point is 01:52:28 living paycheck to paycheck till they die. Unless the economy is fixed, it will stay this way. And that's, they're wrong. You don't have to live that way. You know, that's just reality. But I do feel like the ladder's being pulled up behind every generation more and more and more. So I'm not surprised a lot of them feel that way, to be honest. feel like the ladder's being pulled up behind every generation more and more and more so i'm
Starting point is 01:52:45 not surprised a lot of them feel that way to be to be honest lava sauce as i work in an escape room i've had to teach kids 9 to 15 years old the difference between nickels and dimes just last week i had another group of 16 year olds who lost the room because they did not know their left and rights oh my god dude i don't like escape rooms i just did i ever tell you guys my escape room story i solved it in like 10 seconds like 10 minutes like like 30 seconds i guess and they they they basically disqualified me i don't know what an escape room is they lock you in a room and there's puzzles you got to solve to find the key to get out of the room i've never been in one they're fun i think they're fun so here's what happens i go in the escape room and they have all these
Starting point is 01:53:24 puzzles everywhere and it's like you've got to go through the room and try and find the first puzzle that leads you to the next puzzle i walk and i see a dictionary i grab the dictionary the first thing i do is i look at the pages flat and i can see a black line in the middle and i say that's the one that everyone opens i open it up and boom there's a word and the guy runs up grabs the book slams it and says no you're not supposed to know that and i was like i could see the crease in the book i knew where people were opening it to it's like but you're supposed to find the clue to tell you the page and i'm like i figured out the page by looking at the book yeah yeah but you gotta go through the puzzles and i was like so then i see like there's like a panel on a wall and i walk over and i move it and there's a there's
Starting point is 01:54:02 a key behind it and the guy runs over he's no, you're not supposed to know that's there. And I'm like, dude, what is going on? And then there's a statue locked to the top of a cabinet. And I look under it. There's a small gap and I can see the tip of a key. And so I'm like,
Starting point is 01:54:16 I need something flat, something flat and metal. And so then someone hands me this little like butternut kind of thing. And I underneath it, it's still locked. I hit it. The key falls out. I push it out and I go, I think it's the key to the door oh my god it's within like a minute i walk right to the door and the guy stops me and he's like you can't do that and then they
Starting point is 01:54:33 called me a cheater afterwards they were like the award for the cheater is tim oh my if there was a corner to be cut he cut it and i was like this is ridiculous all they told me was we're gonna put you in a room and you gotta figure out how to get out figure it out and i figured it out right away and they were like yeah but you weren't supposed to actually like work around the lock and i'm like i thought the point of the game was to get out of the room as fast as possible not exactly solve puzzles i feel like the the kids who couldn't tell the difference between the dimes and the nickels probably didn't have that easy of a time escaping. Yeah. This is interesting.
Starting point is 01:55:09 Tony says, Tim, try to tell you on discord. It's rolling thunder weekend in DC, huge Harley and other bike riders and veterans have a parade to the Vietnam war Memorial. It's pretty cool. Rolling thunder is huge.
Starting point is 01:55:20 I forgot about that. I feel like this is probably a good time to abstain from making fun of the bikers seeing as they're going you know for the ride for vets and stuff i'm not making fun of bikers yeah it's not their fault they didn't i know budweiser is trying to have an ad yeah so they should denounce budweiser if they don't want to be associated with it earlier i was making fun of bikers peckerwood saysgging leaked audio exposed to santa's campaign strategy on abortion move to the middle on the abortion issue after primary yeah we were going to talk about that we didn't get to it they say that they want to go safe legal and rare as their position and
Starting point is 01:55:56 i'm like oh wow the republican party nominee or candidate wants to take the democrat approach to abortion from 15 20 years ago it's it's amazing that's where we are roe roe roe is overturned and at the same time a prominent republican wants to have the old democrat approach as times are crazy i don't know brendan babin says tim random question but what solar company did you go with i don't remember but it's not tesla we tried to go with tesla and it was just impossible i have tesla in my house i like solar yeah i like uh i scheduled with them and it was like months going by nothing happening and then we forgot about it like a year went by then they came they showed up and we're like what and then they were like yeah we can't
Starting point is 01:56:39 do the original plan we're gonna do this plan instead and i was like nah i'm not interested and then the panels just had on the ground and took them away and left so i uh i have had a hard time getting service uh for my tesla stuff but unfortunately because i really want it to work and i want to get house batteries but depending on the but to find someone solar stuff yeah i mean it works the power of the house but i want i'm trying to get batteries installed and stuff and i can't find anyone in new England that does that in New Hampshire. Yeah. Connor Stacey says, why do you think the presidential candidates don't campaign on lowering costs of housing?
Starting point is 01:57:13 Because that would destroy the equity of those who bought houses. So you can't. When someone buys a house, and let's say they get a loan out for 200 grand and they put in 10 grand if you then say we're going to lower the price of houses those people are like i'm going to lose my retirement if you do that like i need my house to go up in value yeah so same reason they'll never make machine guns legal again too many people have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on machine guns all right what do we got here Too many people have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on machine guns.
Starting point is 01:57:46 All right. What do we got here? Corto Maltese says, Tim, what are you going to do? Put the limited edition can on the wall? Also, Tim, we've got limited edition coffee bags coming. Coffee bags are flat. Like, I don't get it. They're flat.
Starting point is 01:58:04 You can literally just go, boom, stick it on the wall or put it on a shelf, you know? But like, why do you, do people really collect limited edition beer cans because they're like i never have i mean i'm sure people do i guess people collect everything man yeah that's true pet rocks that was smart and val 90s as neural link users are going to need timcast beanies that block radio frequencies and wi-fi just to maintain privacy you can get beanies that have like a and wi-fi just to maintain privacy you can get beanies that have like a tinfoil lining on the inside the problem with tinfoil hats is that they amplify the signals oh they're it's like it's like putting a dish yeah on your head you wouldn't need to wear a faraday suit yeah when you wear a tinfoil hat the radio waves go up through your
Starting point is 01:58:42 your face into the hat and bounce around the metal and then stay inside so you ever wonder why a satellite dish is designed the way it is you know to catch more waves and signal eric miller says budweiser is now associated with leather chaps they've been kevin's there's no such thing as assless chaps all chaps are assless the chaps just don't have an ass kevin svenson says darpa's n3 project is less than 50 months away from having non-surgical brain control tech fully developed and deployed neuro weapons china and russia have it too humans will be a programmable commodity no permission needed and then ai will decide to just take over someone will say okay ai it's you now and then they'll go you got it and
Starting point is 01:59:32 then everyone's gonna get hit they're gonna go my brain what's happening i love the machine and you're not gonna be able to resist all your problems will wash away depression gone there's an interesting question about that if the first thing neural link can do is introduce signals to your brain to release dopamine or serotonin or melatonin whatever you might need could it possibly be that neural link actually stops transgender phenomenon in the united states because people suffering from dysphoria they'll say we'll give you a neural link that will actually alleviate those symptoms. And then all of a sudden people are like,
Starting point is 02:00:09 oh, I don't feel dysphoria anymore. Interesting. I think it's going to make the whole rat utopia phenomenon worse because people are going to get instant information about everything. There's going to be no struggle to learn more. You're just going to know something.
Starting point is 02:00:21 Well, that's a future. I'm saying the initial thing that neural link will be able to do is like release dopamine. You know what what i mean so if you're depressed they can give you a neural link it can't control you it can't simulate reality it just stops depression yeah so if someone's body dysmorphic or gender dysphoric it could stop that and then people would just be like oh i feel normal you know i feel like those things kind of have to be addressed at more of the root of the problem though would it be the same as like you know if the person
Starting point is 02:00:53 diving into that yeah that's the solution they were looking for i don't know i wonder if uh the neural link can make you fit in would people choose to accept it or they want to not? I think a lot of people would. Yeah, I do.
