Everyone's favorite journalist, Taylor Lorenz, is furious because over on Threads, she's being censored.
That's right.
For a while now, we knew that Mark Zuckerberg's Threads app, which is supposed to rival Twitter
slash X, was censorious.
I mean, it's run by Facebook.
Facebook is one of the worst.
TikTok's a bit worse.
But this matters because we're now getting reports that Walmart is joining the advertiser
boycott.
And while we were initially thinking of launching the story with a comment from Dick Durbin,
Senator out of Illinois, Democrat, saying that we should be enlisting illegal immigrants, noncitizens into the army because of the shortfall.
I thought, you know, look, we can't have these conversations if the platforms that allow free speech are destroyed.
But this is while bad, I think there is some good in this.
Many of these people on the left, these woke reporters cannot deny now that Mark Zuckerberg is worse for you than Twitter would have been. And if you want
to be able to criticize even Elon Musk, you're going to have to use X because Zuckerberg ain't
going to let you talk. So we'll talk about all of that. We got a lot more stories, of course.
It's a bit of a wild news day. It's relatively slow, but there are a lot of stories, just nothing particularly massive.
So we'll talk about a lot of it.
But head over to castbrew.com and buy the best cup of coffee you'll ever have.
We've got Re-Rise with Roberto Jr., our limited edition blend.
Appalachian Nights, of course, is everybody's favorite.

we want to be able to get as many of these around the country,
so that requires forming new companies.

That is correct. Thanks for having me, Tim. As you said, I'm Kingsley Wilson. I am a Trump

I'm also a national committee woman for the D.C. Young Republicans. So thanks for having me.
And so Wilson's new.
It is new. Yes. I recently got married about a month ago. So, you know, I've been joking no longer, Cortez.
I guess I'm white now. So I know that privilege you all enjoy.
There you go. Now people are going to go ahead. Yeah. lose your uh your your race card i got her sunscreen as a wedding present
i'm hannah claire brimel i was really grateful to be with the dcyrs at their christmas party
last weekend it was a fun time i am of course a writer for scnr.com uh it's the best also known
as scanner news tim's laughing at me what's's a Y-R? A Young Republican. Ah, yes.
See, some other people use letters too,
not just here at Scanner,
at cnr.com.
I can't have a good intro because I'm now distracted,
but Ian's here.
My intro's going to be even better.
Yeah, it always is.
Hi, it's Ian Crossland.
Good to be here.
Hi, everyone.
Good to see you, Kaisley.
Good to see you.
What's happening, Serge?
Not much.
Hey, Kingsley, good to see you again too.
Let's just get into the show, Tim,
whenever you're ready. Here we go.
We got a culture war start for all of you.
ALX on Twitter says, Taylor Lorenz says she's being shadow banned on threads.
And then a laughing, crying emoji.
Now, for those of you that aren't familiar, Taylor Lorenz is a very prominent mainstream media reporter.
She's worked for a bunch of very large publications, very critical of elon musk very left-leaning now she like many other woke reporters left twitter complaining that elon musk
was going to make it riddled with hate speech or whatever but now she has these threads up on
threads of all places complaining that she is being censored let me just tell you we're going
over uh you know our content product you know production
and everything and what we want to do and we want to do sketches and jokes we're working on the
skateboarding show and i'm like you know we can put whatever we want on x we can go on x we can
make any joke we want no matter how vulgar or whatever and rumble too but facebook will get
banned tiktok will get banned instagram will get banned that's obvious to anyone with a brain. So all of these
woke journalists that thought they were going to rush over to threads and are now complaining about
it. Surprise, surprise. She posted, I posted the cover of yesterday's New York post to threads
talking about how hypothetical, I'm sorry, how hypocritical the New York post is in their
criticism of meta when they published the same for Thinspo images, their bashing metaphor. I don't
know what she's referring to. What did
Threads do? Locked me out of my Instagram account
until I deleted the thread and sent this
message to my Threads account saying they're going
to shadow ban me. Absolutely
insane levels of censorship where we can't
even discuss the media's coverage of
Meta on Meta's own apps. Well, on Twitter
you can talk about whatever you want. How are we
supposed to critique media or cover the media when
Meta essentially bans all discussions of certain stories and topics it's terrible for
free expression and i wish more people in the media held meta to account for their dangerously
blunt moderation tactics what i absolutely love about this is that this is this tweet could have
been from six years ago on twitter from someone on the right and now it's coming from a woke reporter
who is on mark z Zuckerberg's threads.
And she did not have to leave Twitter.
Like, things have gotten so much better.
So let me just say, this is,
I mean, I guess it's schadenfreude.
That's kind of funny.
That's why Alex is posting the laughing emoji
to see Taylor Lorenz be like,
oh no, I'm being censored.
It's like, well, that kind of proves our point, right?
Others are probably just gloating in her being censored.
But I think it's a good sign.
And I think it shows you how important it was that Elon Musk took the actions that he did.
It proves him right.
It kind of reminds me of the reverse of when people who are liberal and live in big cities
move to small towns and then want to change it.
Like she was somewhere that had free speech, left it.
And now it's like, but why is there no free speech?
This is crazy.
I mean, I don't think Zuckerberg promised anyone anything other than to sell all your data to china and that's my personal
opinion i think i i think uh well i'll just go as conspiratorial as possible i think threads is
probably uh intelligent u.s intelligence agencies it's just feds i totally forgot it existed but to
your point this always like cracks me up i guess
like alx because i love when like this sort of thing happens to leftists right because it's the
monster that they created coming for them they were totally fine with the revolution until they
became the target taylor renz i think the twitter files showed reported more accounts than practically
any other user on the platform she was a champion for the censorship cause.
And now it's coming for her.
And I think it's hilarious to watch.
It's also this phenomenon where people will go from system to system to system, and they'll
see the same problem in every system.
But they'll go like, this system's broken.
Who's in charge of this system?
Fix it.
They go to the next one.
This system's broken.
Who's in charge of this?
Fix it.
But what they don't see is the pattern.
Yeah.
It would have been interesting if she had been like as an experiment i posted this thing
to see how matter would respond to it and they have censored me and therefore meta doesn't like
whatever but instead it's like i am the victim this system is not helping me the way i think
it should it's not obeying my desires even though it never agreed to give me these things in the
first place it's only worse instagram's way worse. And the funny thing is when conservatives
and libertarians came out and said,
yeah, threads is way worse.
We all tried it.
The leftist media organizations came out
and accused all of us of being conspiracy theorists
and lying and making these stories up.
And now they're reaping what they've sown.
They all jumped onto this.
I mean, look, X, Twitter, whatever,
is this massive shit and there's
concerns about whether or not there's going to be enough fuel for it because all these advertisers
are pulling out fine but mark zuckerberg pulls up on this dinghy and he's like everybody up all
everybody hop on board and they're all like yeah and they all jump onto this little dinghy
that mark zuckerberg's driving around in and it doesn't work and now and this is what we get so i don't know i
guess people can revel in schadenfreude or whatever but uh going back to what i was saying i think
it's deep state i think uh we can say a few things that are absolutely fair one it is not a conspiracy
it's actually a fact it is historical record u.s intelligence agencies were in direct communication
with all the big tech companies running social media to manipulate and
control speech there this was directly related to the hunter biden laptop interfering with elections
that's how extreme it was i was personally targeted by the government and uh leftist
tactics with the um what is it was it the eic was it or is it eip election it was eip right
election integrity partnership or something where they tried getting people banned and taking things down and they did successfully do this
government colluding with um researchers they call them researchers this is how they can launder
government censorship we know for a fact they're doing it okay then elon musk says he's going to
buy x and he's and he's going to you know there's talk of restoring all these accounts bringing
people back and uh-oh deep state's going to get you know, there's talk of restoring all these accounts, bringing people back. And, uh-oh, Deep State's going to get exposed.
Intelligence agencies did get exposed.
At the exact same time this is going down, Mark Zuckerberg announces threads.
Simple solution is that Zuckerberg said,
hey, I got a great opportunity to make a competitor right now to Twitter.
And all these people who are mad Elon's buying it, we can give them space.
He created a Canada equivalent.
Yeah, and that's a simple explanation.
And now I'll give you the simple conspiratorial explanation,
which I believe is extremely likely to be true.
Upon announcing this, the CIA, the FBI,
Biden administration contacted Mark Zuckerberg
because they were already in direct communication
and said, we definitely want to be able to access threads in the same way as everything else. And Zuck probably said,
don't worry, it'll function the same as other platforms. You will have access. We'll be right back. deposits instantly to jump in on the fun and make same-day withdrawals if you win. Download the BetMGM Ontario app today. You don't want to miss out. Visit BetMGM.com for terms and

And that's where we are now.
There's the bolder, more less likely conspiracy in that the deep state directly went to Zuckerberg
and said, you got to do something about this.
You need to make some kind of competitor.
Can you do it?
I would not be surprised, to be be honest to find out that someone in government
went to zuckerberg and suggested it not that they demanded it or mandated it but i wouldn't be
surprised if some emails got released through a foyer request something where it shows someone in
the biden white house said hey mark are you able to make something because you know this twitter
stuff is bad and then zuckerberg said yes i think it's arrogance on zuckerberg's part though to
think that his uh technology and what he would build would be able to compete with Twitter slash X or whatever it
was called at the time. I mean, people are really devoted to Twitter as a platform. It was
revolutionary in what it was creating. And I think that original medium we've seen other people. I
mean, there's Truth Social. There are a couple other competitors out there that just haven't
been able to achieve it and so to think
oh well because it's already connected to your instagram account therefore somehow that will
convert people i think just shows how out of touch or how under how much he underestimated uh x and
elon's ability to retain loyal supporters like google plus remember that for like a second but
i forgot what it was and they had hangouts was that a thing yeah hangouts hangouts were actually
pretty big for a while. They were?
Yeah, Google Plus wasn't.
But Hangouts were because it was the easiest way to do a web-based live chat with multiple people.
Now it's all Zoom or whatever.
But if Google made Hangouts and kept pushing that,
people wouldn't be doing Zoom meetings.
They'd be doing Hangouts.
Yeah.
Because that's what a lot of people were doing.
They just had to get that pandemic earlier only only you know the thing about google
is they just don't understand how to be cool so what happens is everyone's pissed at facebook
so google plus announces you know we're making a social platform and everybody wanted it but
they said no no no no limited users only send out a bunch of invites tons of people signed up
i actually had what did i have i had like
500 000 followers on google plus yeah weird weird they totally miss mismanaged youtube they should
have made youtube the social network calling it google plus and google hangout and google this
and that and they tried doing that you had youtube they tried doing that and it was killing youtube
so anyway what they should have done at this point with google plus was as soon as the demand was at
maximum capacity and everybody wanted an invite they should have said i'm sorry everyone it's an
exclusive platform only and then two hours later said you know what we're opening it up baby and
then they would have they would have won instantly they did the same thing with google glass they
launched something everybody wants it and then they nah, you can't have it.
And then eventually some woke journalist goes,
well, I didn't want it anyway.
You're a glass hole.
And then all of a sudden,
nobody wants to buy Google Glass anymore.
It went from the coolest thing everybody wanted to just total garbage.
Yeah, I had some faith when Google bought YouTube
that it would be, I mean,
they were able to start funding it
with the partner program, which is pretty but like larry and sergey are like
uber nerds you know that's so the company's kind of like uber nerdy it's just the way it was built
i like them but they were nerdy there was a period i think it was um let's see what year
would it have been maybe like 2013 or 14 i'm not sure no it was probably way earlier than that
google was trying to integrate youtube
and google plus they wanted they wanted google youtube to turn into google plus and when they
started integrating it people started fleeing and complaining like crazy and so then they backed
it was like they had three stops you could either go to google plus you could go to your google
hangout which was connected to your google phone number or was it to your other google account
i had three of them you know three different emails attached to three different accounts and I couldn't get them to
consolidate. It was such a mess. I can understand why these platforms want to grow and become more
things. They have to compete. I mean, the same ways that Instagram added reels, the short form
video to directly compete with TikTok, that makes sense to me. They're more similar, but I don't
understand. And maybe it's because, and I don't know if anyone in this room can answer it.
I don't understand the point of threads.
I've never opened it. And I'm not sure how it differentiates from the YouTube, like community tab.
Threads.
Isn't that what?
Threads is like Twitter.
Yeah.
Threads is like Twitter, but then YouTube has the community tab, right?
Like, isn't that where people can message if they're like really into a creator or whatever?
Like, no, that's, that's, that's kind of like a twitter feed for your youtube but it's basically linked to your youtube so it's used to uh for the most part hey guys
heads up announcements yeah see i i feel like it would make more sense to me to have an integrated
competitor to x on youtube because people are already alive and well in the comment sections
there to make a competitor on instagram seems weird to me i just opened threads and the first thing i see i've got um let's see mckayla peterson and then uh charlie kirk and there's two replies
to charlie kirk's post it's three likes i don't know charlie charlie why are you using threads
you should make a threads right now kingsley i bet you could be the most dominant person by the
end of the episode there you go oh okay i think mckela michaela peterson's responding to a bunch of people criticizing her
dad it's exhilarating because all the lefties went there though it's just like a cesspool of like
it's an echo chamber in many ways and i feel like the fun parts about twitter about youtube are like
fighting in the comments like seeing people dunk on other people like that's why i love twitter
i think that's why a lot of people love twitter so when you take that away you just lose the user experience unless they
start infighting which could be interesting maybe yeah who checked threads during the outbreak of
the hamas israel conflict because maybe it was like alive and well then oh i forgot to check
my threads that's why because that's when i think a lot of the left was up in arms not that it wasn't
true on the right but it was a particularly challenging times for like the most progressive
angle of the party versus the more moderate side uh they were
fighting a lot i wonder if threads allowed any kind of discontent i don't trust you know
proprietary software in general but i really don't trust public companies when they do social
networks like x is private still at this i'm pretty sure x is still private and uh mines is
private you have rumble well rumble just went, but that's like road to co-op.
I want to I want to I got something interesting here.
I'm going to pull up this story real quick.
This is from Mashable.
Walmart joins the X Twitter ad boycott.
This one will sting.
The big box store joins Apple, Disney and others in ditching X over Elon Musk's comments.
This is by Matt Bender.
And he's wrong.
I think he's lying.
I mean, it's hard to say.
They like to say Donald Trump lied.
And I always ask, well, is he wrong or is he lying?
It's a difference, right?
I think Matt's lying because I'm willing to bet in this,
here it is, here it is.
Just in time for the holiday shopping season,
Walmart decided to stop advertising on Elon Musk's X,
joining a slew of other major companies that have fled the social media platform in recent weeks.
Second paragraph, quote, we aren't advertising on X as we found other platforms to better reach our customers.
A Walmart spokesperson told Reuters, which first reported on the retail chain's decision to suspend ad campaigns on the website.
Walmart's decision to stop advertising comes after a month said go after yourself, etc., etc.
But the issue is the greater quote from Walmart was something.
Let me pull up Reuters because I got Mashable here on purpose.
Walmart says it's not advertising on social platform X.
Right.
But the actual quote they say is there's nothing to do with any of this.
I'm pretty sure they said we stopped advertising in October.
This is kind of crazy to see.
A lot of news outlets are reporting this i think there is a
potential that walmart is trying to not be involved and and and you know lower their amount of ad
spending but the the the original story reporting this walmart said they slowed down their ad spends
back in october it has nothing to do with what elon said now it's being reported by these
organizations that it's that it's you know walmart Walmart joining the ad boycott. Now, either way, a lot of money is being lost by X. And one of the
interesting things, actually, I just pulled up threads for the previous segment. And one of the
first things that is suggested to me, I don't follow Hank Green, but it's Hank Green. He's
at numbers for the curious in the last 30, 30 days,ok views 37 million tiktok rev share 3 600 dollars
rpm is 10 cents youtube shorts views 41 million dollars youtube shorts rev 4 400 41 million views
41 million views you see dollars oh no no yeah sorry sorry 41 million views, $4,400. Reels views doesn't report minimum is 13 million.
His share was $988 for a 7 cent RPM.
That's interesting in how you make literally no money,
no money on these platforms for all of these views.
That's kind of crazy that on TikTok,
you get 37 million views you get wow you're getting
3600 you have to be one of the most famous people to make a living hank green is one of like the
biggest social media influencers and he's only making 3600 a month off tiktok okay combine them
all and he's gonna be making what like 150 150K a year being one of the most famous personalities.
There's almost no point in doing any of those posts.
It's all just being whittled down.
The crazy thing is when you look at X and the ad boycott, I'm wondering how this will impact how much money people are already getting because the rates there are super low too.
I get like 200 million impressions on my on my profile i get
about 5500 per month from the from the ad share deal now it's probably going to go to nothing
because of what's going on yeah as more people become influencers too like every human pretty
much as a camera and can as their side job make a video about what they do with their main job at
the very least that the ad revenue i don't think ad revenue models are the way to go.
I think it's super chats and direct subscriptions.
Plus then the advertiser can't pull the rug on your entire business model.
Do you think that this data will become public enough to deter Gen Z?
This is what Gen Z wants to do with their lives.
Most of them want to be an influencer or they talk about wanting to be a social media personality.
This is regularly something they report. Is this sort of like when everyone wants to be an actor and
then at a certain point i mean i'm sure you experience this too people are like but are
you actually going to support yourself doing that only a couple people make it big like
at what point do people realize this idea that social media is the only way like this influencer
pathway is it going to become less romantic for the youngest generation hopefully soon because like if you make internet videos but you do nothing with your life
they're not going to be very interesting videos but if you're a mechanic and you make
internet videos and you rope in the mechanics into that it becomes very interesting so they're
synergistic you don't want to like everyone in my opinion should have the opportunity to become an
internet video star and you should
highlight the cool things you do in your life you could you could make a youtube channel where
you personally put things in boxes wrap those boxes and then call it unboxing presence channel
and you literally just film yourself slowly unwrapping a box i'm not i'm not i'm not even
joking alternate
career ladies and gentlemen no people love this stuff so you've got viral videos of people opening
like pokemon cards it doesn't matter people just want to see what's inside it's the weirdest thing
so you don't need to be interesting at all you just need to make content and then hypnotize
people you know what i really love really love? I love the hydraulic press
channel. Yeah, me too. I watch a lot of that.
Now there's like 12 of them. Then there's
the red hot nickel
ball. Yeah, get a lot of those.
Now there's like 12 of them.
I have a really good idea that
I wanted to do, but it's very dangerous.
I want to electrocute things.
I'm like, how many volts and amps or whatever
until a teddy bear bursts into flames? But you know there's someone else who'd be like, you know, how many volts and amps or whatever until a teddy bear bursts in a flame.
That's cool.
But you know, there's someone else would be like,
yeah, I do want to click on that video.
I want to know how many volts it takes.
I know.
And you know, my idea was what you do it live.
And then every viewer like increases the voltage
by a certain number.
Especially when water's involved,
like watching electricity go through water is fascinating.
See, there you go.
But that's the question.
And then you get like 20,000 people watching and then like the energy levels you know going up that'd be fun right yeah
i think there's a lot of things it's not that i'm against people making stuff obviously and putting
it on the internet i'm for it i just want that to be clear it's just at a certain point does it pay
out the way people think it's going to and is this a long-term sustainable career because i think
that's why you need the influencer ecosystem between all of the platforms. Not one platform really generates enough revenue
for a medium-sized person to sustain themselves is what it sounds like to me. And I don't know.
Yeah, definitely not to sustain. But like Ian was saying earlier, it could be a side hustle.
I feel like a lot of people have multiple jobs these days anyway by an economy.
So just filming your job day to day i
think people can put that kind of content out there and it's pretty easy how many people how
many people have tried doing that i'm going to drive an uber and film it and put the videos of
conversations on the internet i've heard that idea 8 000 times and i'm like yeah yeah get in line
yeah it's like let you do that they do record some cars do record whatever's happening right
i'm pretty sure they do
you just got to tell people it's like hey like when they get in your car and be like hey do you
mind if i film and then put the thing on my youtube channel and some if someone says no but
okay and then you don't but uber is a bad job anyway i feel bad for uber drivers you cannot
make a living doing that it destroys your car no it costs more to drive yeah when i get a ride from
the airport to here and it's 100 hundred bucks, I'm like, what is
that?
Like 60, 40 of it goes to the driver.
What is crazy?
And that's all that's, that's going to cover gas and the wear on the car.
Yeah.
And they just spent two and a half hours driving me like, what in the hell?
Yeah.
I was reading like in New York that Uber doesn't pay enough to cover the cost of the wear and
tear on the car and gas, but people don't realize wear and tear.
So they're like, all right, yeah, it made 60 bucks. And it's like, by the end of the month, that money the car and gas but people don't realize wear and tear so they're like all right yeah it made 60 bucks and it's like by the end of the month that money you're gonna be
negative because your car's gonna break and then you have no job i wish we still had taxis i miss
taxis those are great they still exist you know but good luck yeah they've been protesting quite
a bit because they got screwed over by new york anyway, man, social media is a wild thing.
And I'm kind of feeling like if we do move into this AI automated future where all work is just being taken.
My nightmare.
Yeah, just cars drive themselves.
I'm seeing more videos pop up on Instagram of just, you know, like we've automated this job and that job.
And you've got all the self-driving cars now the only job you're going to have is competing with each other to get eyeballs and then humans are going to become more insane than they
already are because already if we're looking at you need 37 million views to make three grand

They're going to, I don't know, develop very serious personality disorders.
But that's got to be bad.
It's got to be bad.
It literally is bad. Do they develop them
or do the people
who are prone
to those personality disorders
do they want to be online
doing these things?
Is it sort of like a natural,
it's a Moscow flame?
Probably both.
I think this is what
wokeness comes from.
People are online
and they're trying
to find ways
to hit the algorithm
and the algorithms
are leading lemmings
off a cliff.
But what that makes me think is
like the market tends to adjust
and adopt for what is good and what makes sense for society.
I think in general, maybe not,
maybe it just leads towards whatever's most addictive.
But if the thing is bringing no value,
but adding psychosis to the system,
I would imagine that the market would weed it out.
Why?
What if we can't tell it's psychosis because we're so used to it
because we consume so much of this content
that we can't tell the difference between what's normal and what's not anymore.
That's a good point.
We're there.
We're absolutely there.
So if everybody believes something because everyone's sharing it, I mean, we can see the beginnings of this with the Covington Catholic kids.
Everybody sees the video.
They assume it's true.
They just said this kid got in that guy's face.
And then, uh-oh yeah a two-hour
live stream was uncovered showing actually it was the other way around well i was just looking up
the uh what you said like that walmart had pulled the ads in october and i found it but i had to dig
deep into google because even though that was how they initially reported x uh the joe baronage i
can't say his name head of operations at x said that walmart started pulling its advertising it hasn't advertised since october so right the narrative that is being spun to the top
of google is actually different from the way it was originally reported they decided what was
coming out so shifting reality and i think that's been the best part of x honestly like as a user
we can fact check these people in real time now journalists have just been able to push their
narratives for decades and we haven't been able to you you know, dig and actually find it for ourselves.
A lot of people don't have the time
or the willingness to do that.
So X slapping a community note on something like this,
I think is super beneficial.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a couple of ways to look at it.
It could be that Walmart was the first to boycott
and no one reported it.
So if they're reporting-
There's such trendsetters in Walmart.
Yeah, I mean, if they're saying Walmart has just joined,
no, no, no, no, because they stopped advertising a long time ago or it's completely unrelated but i'll
tell you what what what proves that it's all fake i'm gonna prove to you right now you live in a
fake world likely just being perpetuated by the deep state because money is fake fiat currencies
here's a story from india who is it indian express there you go the indian express the
bastion of journalism says x slash twitter has higher organic traffic but lower ad revenue than
facebook and instagram elon musk he posted this and you can see twitter's s uh se traffic 650.9
million paid traffic is 1.1 thousand, almost none.
Paid traffic price, 14.3k.
You can look at Instagram.
They have 100,000 in paid traffic.
And Facebook has 708,000 in paid traffic with even less views.
So not only does Twitter have way more traffic, way less of it is paid traffic.
So this means with advertisers pulling off effects or to give credit to the
leftists who are saying walmart's jumping ship walmart's saying we're doing better on other
platforms i don't buy it i don't believe they are i've also done advertising on these other
platforms and i believe that most of it is fake a bot will watch your ad and then they'll say well
we assume it's real because how are they supposed to know i knew these dudes who were starting a
company that's that's their whole job,
the whole company premise was
they would operate in between the company
and the social media platform.
So company would say, we want to do an ad.
Then social media company would say, okay.
They would go in the middle
and track all of the link clicks
to see how many were fake and how many were not.
And I think they were
telling me like around half or more is fake half so that means when you spend 10 bucks you think
you're getting a certain amount of views you're getting half that it's all fake so now we know
that twitter is the best why aren't they why isn't anybody spending money there why spend money on
facebook when we all know facebook isn't giving you the same return. Because Elon Musk bad, Tim.
We can't be anywhere near him, him and that orange guy.
Yep.
I think the targeted ads are enticing with Facebook.
They track people so well.
You can be like, I'm looking for 27-year-old males that wear red hats that live near Philadelphia
that are awake between the hours of 4 and 9 p.m.
And I don't know if Twitter can offer that kind of targeted ad revenue.
I mean, even if half of them are bots, that's still really, really good targeting.
But it actually means that the price is twice as high because you're getting half as many views.
It's more than twice.
Oh, you mean to advertise to targeted audiences is like $8 for 1,000 views, whereas untargeted is like $1.50 for 1,000 views.
But is that what your question was?
No, what I'm saying is like, if I were to spend whatever amount of money, because I
think that's going to get me 1,000 views, but actually it's getting me 500, the price
per view is much higher than their advertising.
But they're reporting to you it's 1,000 views.
Exactly.
And they're just not telling you that the other half are fake.
Let's jump to this story.
We got this tweet from AI Not kill everyone ism memes okay and they they are playing a video
from sam altman who says he fears the impact that ai is going to have on the election
it's not deepfakes he makes a really great point he says the main worry i have is not one that gets
airtime on the issue of deepfakes he says we all you know talking about deep fakes
is fighting the last war we we all have some degree of immunity to this we know that when
there's a video or photo or audio we we should check and make sure it could be fake and then
he's asked well then what do you mean and he says the thing i'm really worried about is customized
one-on-one persuasion ability a foreign adversary that has trained their own ai system that none of us even
know about like systems on the internet powered by ai that are just like subtly influencing you
the interviewer says i fear manipulation by ai ease my concerns i i just want to you know i bring
this up because guys we're 2024 is around the corner we are uh we're going to be off for the
last week of this month so there's only a couple weeks left we're going to be off for the last week of this month, so there's only a couple weeks left. We're going to be doing shows and talking about this stuff,
but 2024 is just about here,
and this is already happening.
100% already,
starting in probably 2015,
and getting crazier.
Actually, I think it's fair to say,
with the advent of social media,
this degree of manipulation has existed,
and it's been getting crazier and crazier,
and as of right now, I'm willing to bet you are already being manipulated by AI.
Now, of course, I know the immediate reaction from everybody is that's not what AI means, Tim.
You're talking about algorithms.
And it's like, OK, dude, no, we're speaking generally that computers are automated to the point where they're manipulating information in a variety of ways to sell products or to get people to win elections.
And I say AI because it's probably already outside the control of human beings.
So when you go on Twitter, when you go on Facebook, Instagram or whatever, you don't
realize this.
But yeah, they are probably you are probably being influenced by this machine that has
no end goal, no real intention. Here's the scary thing.
A human being has a goal. I want this person to be president for this reason.
An AI has, I want this person to stare at the screen for 10 seconds longer.
And it will throw whatever in front of your face to make that happen. Now, of course,
people are gonna say that's an algorithm. Sure, fine. If you're talking about artificial general intelligence, then the real fear is the AGI
will make you serve it as a demigod master and you won't even realize that you live for
the machine.
But, you know, in the general sense, we are all already being manipulated for the 2024
election that's happening now.
Yeah, I think you're right.
I've stopped, not completely, but I've kind of stopped taking negative comments seriously even remotely if i don't know
who they're from i even tell myself sometimes it's probably an ai and i know it's not probably an ai
but it's possibly an ai and i'm just not gonna taint my mind with that crap you're breaking out
of the matrix yeah but the positive comments i still take seriously. But what if those are AI? But they might be.
I mean, that's a thing you could never know.
Dead internet theory, dude.
You know dead internet theory?
I know that, what, 80% of the people on the internet are fake.
Are fake.
And you go, and you're talking to a computer.
Dude, you're standing in front of, I got 1.8 million followers, almost 1.9 million followers.
And so when I tweet, what people think is that there is a million two
million people all standing there like with their phones up recording when in reality maybe it's
100 000 who knows they do they have these apps where you can like check how many files are
organic and whenever i do it's like oh they're all real or whatever i don't buy it i think the
whole thing is fake i tweet something out i get a bunch of generic random anime squirrels or whatever and
i'm just like i wonder fake ai that sam altman's talking about is like all it's trying to do is
confuse you so whatever you make a video you make a video about i walked in the sky was beautiful
today you get a comment of no it was really nasty out or you say i really like this candidate for
president well that candidate's really nasty don't you see and then i assume the ai wants you to continue to interact with it. That's what its ultimate goal is because it needs your
input to have data to continue to make decisions about what to do next. I mean, I have a very
rudimentary understanding of AI, but that's what it seems like it needs. It needs human interaction
to continue to basically use us to figure out what you like to do and to potentially behavioral
model or whatever. And so what I find interesting is that we have been letting ourselves be susceptible
to wanting to interact with the AI for a long time.
I mean, this is what we talk about with young teenagers who are essentially addicted to
social media because they see all their value in the number of likes, the number of engagements,
how long their snap streak is, all of these metrics to say, open your phone right now. You have a notification. You have a click. You want to
respond. You don't want to be the one who doesn't respond to the Snapchat story. You have to have
something up. Actually, if your Instagram page, you know, if you interact with it enough, it gives
you more, it's more likely to show yourself. Like, it's always driving you back to using it all the
time, which is also what the AI wants you to do. The AI wants to continue to learn what you're
doing, so it needs you to constantly come back to it. Right. And he mentioned specifically, you know, foreign
adversaries. I think it's important for us to realize that this isn't just China, like it's
our own government. To what extent are, you know, agencies like the FBI and the NSA using AI to
influence American citizens when they go to vote at the polls in 2024? I mean, I think that needs
to be a real concern because you look at an agency like the FBI, who has a long history of entrapping
Americans and pushing them and incentivizing them to do certain things. I think, you know,
we can't put it past these guys to be using this to reach their own ends.
And private companies, for sure. Like reading about the business plot, the Smedley Butler plot,
1933, these bankers tried to get Smedley Butler to overthrow the U.S. government and install a fascist dictatorship.
Smedley Butler was like the top general in the United States.
They really wanted to overthrow March 500,000 dudes on Washington.
This is like a real plot.
Why did they want to do it?
Because the federal FDR took us off the gold standard, and they were like, he's going to destroy the economy.
We have to take him out of office and put a general in and become fascist like mussolini is so crazy that they're like and they're just totally willing like the
federal reserve information formation on the the jekyll island these guys have like the this the
private sector when we talk about foreign agents that the private sector are foreign agents
corporations are foreign agents to our government they're not part of our government they might
exist on in the united states but they are foreign agents so they might also very well be the ones
trying to manipulate us well i'm not sure well i mean we know for a fact it is the government
manipulating us along with the massive corporations so you know welcome welcome to the nightmare
welcome to hell baby it's going to be look we talked about this last week i posted a deep
fake of nancy pelosi a
year and a half ago and it looked hilariously bad and disgusting you post a deep fake of nancy
pelosi now and it's hilarious and realistic where are we going to be with ai voice deep faking it's
going to be perfect so we're going to 2024 deep fakes are bad. But the real issue is that there's probably already right now with GPT being public, there
are probably millions of AI chatbot accounts on social media that are programmed just to
respond in certain ways, but slightly unique.
It used to be that if you searched for a certain phrase, you'd see like 10,000 accounts all tweeting
the same exact quote and you knew it was a bot farm or something.
But now they're going to use these large language models to generate semi-unique but similar
responses.
They're going to program into it.
Whenever you see anything with the subject matter, respond with a quote that has these
parameters.
And now someone's going to get bombarded by a bunch of cartoon squirrels communist squirrels on twitter and they're going to believe it's real life
and then they're going to be like i i need to i need i need to behave like this because it could
be like if music is played in video put fire emoji in chat if user of video says positive things about
concept we want them to talk about positively if they say negative things in
chat if negative words are used give thumbs down emoji when music plays like crazy it's crazy
that's so rudimentary you're gonna get three you're gonna get someone they're gonna you're
gonna tweet something like i think that we need to be back on the gold standard ron paul was right
and the ai will generate a response that is five five tweets long number and it's gonna be like
ian you're wrong about this.
Here's why.
And you're going to see a picture of a guy and you're going to be like, well, that's probably a real person.
And in reality, it's just one of the faceless husks of the narrative machine being programmed to convince you that you're wrong.
And they interact with each other.
You'll see conversations in the comments.
And those could all be AI trying to.
Could all be fake.
Could all be not real.
It's possible that we're not even in this room right now,
that everyone watching at home is all CGI.
That's where I'm starting to be like,
just have kids and like spend time with your children
because that's not going to get deep faked out of you.
Like, and maybe people will be tricked
into thinking their family is not their family
or vice versa.
I want to start asking regular people that I meet,
do they have accounts on X or Instagram
or TikTok or whatever?
So many people I know are not on X.
Like it's hard to be in the media space
without being on it.
And so I think that we have a warped perspective.
I think most people I know are not on,
like my just friends that I have made throughout my life
are not on it at all.
And so there's stuff that blows up online
that we know about.
We think, oh, this happened and that will influence selection but actually like there's a
lot of people who don't know about this this thing that trended for a week it's like a separate
universe well one of the stories that we'll get into later is bill maher saying when rosanne says
you're mk ultra he goes who's that he was played so ignorant in that interview with rosanne she
brought up klaus schwab and he was like, who's Klaus Schwab?
Right.
Really?
But no, no, no.
This is a guy who lives on CNN.
That's Bill Maher's thing.
It's like he grew up watching MSNBC and that is what his worldview is.
That's it.
It's so funny, though, because leftists and progressives look to him as an intellectual.
Like how ironic is that?
No, not anymore.
Really?
I feel like you do.
The left hates Bill Maher.
The coastal elites, though, I feel like some of them. Yeah, but those feel like you do. The left hates Bill Maher. The coastal elites though,
I feel like some of them.
Yeah, but those are liberals.
Yeah.
Leftists think Bill Maher's-
Okay, so classical liberals
look to him as an intellectual.
Well, classical liberals are right wing.
Not all the time.
Classical liberal means-
It's like a crazy riddle.
Well, so classical liberal refers to right wing,
like right libertarians.
Right.
Traditional liberal would refer to like Democrats
from 15 years ago. And so that's Bill Maher. Leftists think he's right wing, like right libertarians, traditional liberal would refer to like Democrats from 15 years ago.
And so that's Bill Maher.
Leftists think he's right wing
and they call him a fascist
and they call him alt-right
and they've called them alt-right for like eight years.
It's weird how much the left
just dragged themselves over and said,
no, the moderates are actually far right.
They're crazy.
Don't listen to them.
Like they have just completely moved the map.
I think like if you ever see one of those videos
of someone moving a house across a field, and we all were just like okay sounds good
and now the skew of what's right and what's far right and what's left is so off i feel like we
need to just recalibrate it to where most of america actually is i'm wondering someone super
chatted as a joke this super chat isn't real but serious serious question have you guys in the chat
asked yourselves
how many of the people posting are probably not even real and how many of the super chats aren't
even real i'm not even undercutting the value of our show you'll see every once in a while you'll
see a comment in the live chat and then immediately the same comment from a different account same
like same capitalization everything it'll just be two sentences identical and the other thing too is
if there is an influence
operation you might be a regular person in the regular chat and you're posting your opinions
and you can't compete with a foreign entity or corporation that is paying for the super chats
to make sure their views are more prominently displayed above yours and speaking of not being
able to compete with ai man in in day trading you know you try and do day trading you can't
compete with the ai
you might make a little bit along with it but that stuff is driving the market crazy stuff is
like the crypto arbitrage where like people make millions of dollars a year doing literally nothing
just by like making a cent on a trade yeah i don't i don't know exactly how it how it works
but that's where they'll get it on one market and then immediately sell it on another market
where it's slightly different price.
When a transfer is executed,
the computer can move in
and make a deal faster than a human can.
So when a human's making a deal,
it's going through the system
and the computer just instantly jumps in between
and then gets a fraction of a penny from that trade.
And then you do that millions upon millions of times
and you are just shaving off fractions of a cent
into your account.
So there are people out there doing this.
I don't know.
I was told it's illegal.
I don't know anything about it.
But there are people who make millions of dollars
and they do nothing.
Literally, they click go.
That's wild.
Yeah, I think that happens with stocks and stuff.
Arbitrage exists for like currency.
So like one currency will have the worth in one place,
and it's worth way less in the other place,
and you'll just take the money, or worth way more.
So you take the money there, and you go sell it over there,
and you just get the exchange rate.
It's legal.
Well, I mean, in the real world,
it makes sense to buy water in one place and bring it to another.
We talked about this with a lot of disasters,
when they make price gouging illegal.
And I think price gouging is mostly fine.
I mean, that's it.
Like there's, imagine there's a disaster
and there's no water.
So somebody buys a bunch of water
and drives it into the disaster zone
and sells it for like five bucks a bottle.
And people are buying it.
Well, I'm pretty sure those people don't want to die
and they're willing to spend the five bucks a bottle.
And that person who loaded up all that stuff
did a lot of work, bought bought fuel drove into a disaster zone and
brought relief water why can't they sell it for what they want if people don't want to buy it
they don't have to buy it it becomes questionable if there's limited resources and they got in early
when everyone was going there to get the water for free to bring to the disaster site but some
one guy got in like just before and bought it all up that was selling it at a 400 markup what do you mean
how do you buy water for are you saying like if they took free relief water and then tried
reselling it that's a different story well if there was like water to store and then there
was a disaster and then one guy went to the store bought all the water and then like four hours
later a bunch of the disaster relief guys get to the store to get the water for that they're
going to bring for free but it's already bought up it's never going to be for free or cheap they're going to deliver it at no cost
they'd buy it and then deliver it yeah but instead it had been bought up by one guy and he's going to
mark it up 500 that's i think you could argue that should be illegal why should that be illegal
um because it's a disaster and it should be treated like national emergency security national
defense so for a dude to try and profit off that i think is unethical at the very least and you could argue they should be
illegal the question then becomes where uh what other areas are you not allowed to buy a product
when you expect high demand maybe non-disaster relief i mean if they're not disaster relief
situations that's a different story so martin scurrily got smacked with for it for his medicine yeah he raised like
a diet what was it a it was uh oh man i want to say it was it has nothing to do with uh what's
the word diabetes i think it was insulin shots i'm not really diabetes not totally sure he he
like marked it up 700 i don't want to miss yeah it's like 700 i don't know where it was exactly
i feel like the other challenge would be you know what if the federal government decides that your
issue is not a disaster and so price gouging is like allowed there it becomes like
sort of unclear when and if we allow some protections and not like i'd rather have a
blanket rule either you're allowed to do it or you're not allowed you know what i mean
yeah it's it's an interesting point we made that someone goes to a store and buys all the water
right before a disaster and then after the disaster sells it because the question is how do you know how did he know the disaster was coming it's like
congressman trading like how many times do they buy defense stocks and then there's an attack
yeah that's what i've been following this guy that trades exclusively off of like what congress
trades on yeah doing pretty well i'm not gonna give you financial advice by the way not financial
advice but yeah i think i think what was it people were saying like the pelosi tracker was like 20
percent or something it's crazy it probably came from back in the day when a disaster would hit,
and then one guy would run to the store and get all the water,
and then he'd come back and be like,
hey, everyone, I brought all the water,
but it's going to be five times more.
The crowd would be like, we're not going to put up with that.
That was back before when common sense kind of ruled the roost.
He's like, I have a contract.
There's still a problem here.
The problem is, in this scenario,
how is it that he
got to the store and bought the water with with no one else realizing they needed water or he just
had the fastest car or okay so potentially this guy just saw there is a disaster coming there
is starting to be water whatever i'm gonna do this rather than prepare my own house this is
the thing i think is worth spending my time to do and he ultimately made an investment he decided
that this was the thing he should do buy buy the water, instead of maybe like leave
the city or like lock down his house or whatever disaster he's in.
I'm really not sure.
The problem with the argument there is that let's say somebody has a well on their property
and they make water.
And then all of a sudden demand for water is skyrocketing.
Everybody wants the water from his property.
So he's like, okay, to maintain this and deliver as much water i'm going to charge more money and this is my opportunity this is
why i invested in this and you say no it's a disaster people need water you can't do that
okay listen now now we'll go to food well now you got a guy who grows lots of food and then
demand spikes as food shortages hit and they say no you can't you can't sell your food for for a
higher price because we're in a shortage so we just we're going to buy your food at a government locked rate.
And then if you say that's acceptable,
you get into all the other areas.
Well, people need clothes, people need shoes,
people need fuel.
And then you start price locking everything.
I understand what you're saying about
someone going to a gas station or whatever and buying it.
But the problem is still, if a disaster hits,
no one has any advanced
foreknowledge of the disaster perhaps it's the problem of the gas station of the store deciding
to sell all of their stock to one guy and you know and and they say we don't care you can buy
it all yeah you can also redefine what a disaster is and that can be used against people be like
hey it's a disaster you have to give your i mean food rationing things like that yeah the government then says uh well you know the economic downturn qualifies as a disaster so we're taking
your water we're taking all these products from your store we're going to give them out for free
that's what worries me because when the government decides a disaster these things these rules would
suddenly apply but again it's not consistent there are sometimes communities that need help
and the federal government will be like no you're not serious enough and other times they're like no
we have to intervene here.
I mean, wasn't this something we talked about with East Palestine?
Like the fact that the chemical spill was a big deal and the federal government kind of ignored it.
I'm not saying we should have gone to price gouging, but it is interesting that we would ultimately be deciding this is something the federal government.

Should elect to tell us, and I don't like that.
There was some story where a guy filled up his pickup truck with a bunch of bottles of water,
drove into a disaster area and sold them for like five bucks each, and he got in trouble.
They were like, how dare you? and my attitude is kind of like would you rather have five dollar
water or no water it was obvious five dollar water otherwise you'll just die you know but
they were like yeah but he's exploiting a crisis okay then just tell him not to bring the water
next day say okay i won't bring you any water and then you all dive dehydration in new york you'll
see like umbrella salesmen and there'll be a buck and no one will ever buy them.
And then when it rains, they're like $9 each.
That's right.
Boom.
How did they know it was going to rain?
That's exploitation, but this is true.
Guys will be standing outside their little carts or whatever
and the umbrellas will be, well, yeah,
they'll be like five bucks and they'll be in a little bin.
As soon as the rain comes,
you see a different sign flopped down as 15 bucks
and they sell them like hotcakes.
Since they're non-essential, I understand. that actually i really like yeah but it's and then
let's let you know what fine i'm sick of i'm sick of walmart jacking up the price of winter coats
as soon as it gets cold out have you noticed this if you buy if you're buying winter clothing in
summer it's cheap but now it's cold and people are freezing to death and they're trying to
exploit us no it's fine this is the point of supply and demand you charge more when the opportunity
arises yeah price gouging and price limiting are both kind of federally well you don't want the
government to to limit the prices a company can set because then the company goes out of out of
business and that destroys the economy but then how do you stop companies from price gouging what's the rules and the laws on that i think you caveat mtor it's
caveat mtor it's buyer beware if you aren't the one who's willing to like look into what you're
buying and everything that and it's on your it's your responsibility ultimately you know within
reason i think fraud we can say okay this person lied tricking yeah but if someone knows they're
buying a bottle of water and it's's clean, fresh, pure water,
and the guy says, my water.
If you want it, I want 100 bucks.
Yeah.
And you say, but that's so unfair.
I'm dying of dehydration.
Well, it's my water.
I want it.
I'll give you 100 bucks.
No, you're how dare you.
Well, let's jump to this story here.
This is the bigger news that we were going to get into initially,
but we pushed it back.
Here we go.
From DC Drano.
He says, and there it is.
Senator Dick Durbin is finally
revealing their grand plan. Flood the
country with illegal aliens, enlist them in the military
and make them citizens. The part
he isn't disclosing is who the Marxists
will use the alien, who the Marxists
will use the alien soldiers against.
Ah, yes, interesting. The funny thing is that we've
talked about this and I've speculated
this would be the case.
We have massive shortfalls in our
military and we have a massive illegal immigration population coming across the border i said how
long until they send all these guys to ukraine no joke now now here's my question to all the
republicans who are upset about illegal immigration you got texas saying we're going to send them to
martha's vineyard or whatever or florida and texas. What if we send them all to Ukraine?
New rule, new law. United States,
if you enter this country illegally,
we won't deport you.
We will send you to Ukraine.
I'm not saying make them fight.
I am not saying force them to join any kind of government action. I am not saying we're involved in
any war. I am saying quite literally
the deportation process is not
a return to your home country
all non-citizens who are here illegally and facing deportation sent to ukraine of course then the
ukrainian government will take them hand them a weapon and say to the front lines with ye
but you know that's uh but i'm fine if they're in the ukrainian military i don't want them to
in our military right like if you're in the middle of committing the crime of illegally entering my country, I don't think you have my country's best interest at heart. I don't
necessarily want you to be in my military and then be, you know, have access to the GI Bill
or whatever else. That doesn't make sense to me. Let me play this clip. You can hear it for
yourselves. What troubles me about the debate now about the southern border is it is one half of
the immigration equation. Yes, we need order at the border. Yes, we need to have changes in the laws
that reflect the reality of the overwhelming numbers
from all over the world
who are coming to our shores and our border.
But there's also an incredible demand
for legal immigration into this country even now.
The presiding officer, my colleague
from the state of Illinois,
has legislation which
addresses one aspect of that. Her bill, and I hope I describe it accurately, says that if you're an
undocumented person in this country, you're an illegal immigrant, and you can pass the physical
and the required test, background test, the like. You can serve in our military.
And if you do it honorably, we will make you citizens of the United States. Do we need that?
No. Do you know what the recruiting numbers are at the Army and the Navy and the Air Force?
They can't reach their quotas each month. They can't find enough people to join
our military forces. And there are those who are undocumented
who want the chance to serve and raise their lives for this country sedition should we give
them a chance no i think we should this is sedition you're incorrect dick they have created
policies that are destroyed that's destroying the u.s armed forces and now they are advocating to
have non-citizens serve in our armed forces. The armed forces will be replaced from citizens to non-citizens.
And then when the order is given to fire an American citizen, they're going to say, I don't care.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
And he's saying we're having trouble recruiting people.
So instead of trying to address that issue, we're just going to bring in people who are here illegally and give them a path to citizenship.
Right.
This doesn't make sense.
Let's fix like why we're having trouble. Why did you fire all the unvaccinated? Why are you pushing
woke crap and DEI down these troops throats? They hate it. They don't want it. They're not
willing to die for a country that, you know, hates them and hates their founding. And I think
what they're doing is, you know, they are trying to bring people here who have no allegiance to
America's founding, because when the time comes, they'll be willing to turn the guns on all of us right because they have no allegiance to us no
respect for our laws as you said they're coming here illegally already it's crazy yeah and it
seems like it like I don't understand how any humanitarian would be like great idea Dick Durbin
I love this because now you're holding citizenship over someone's head being saying go fight in a war
but potentially die to get citizenship the thing about being an American citizen enlisting the military is that you already have that right so you're of
service to your own country it seems like a crazy prospect on both sides to say that anyone would
benefit from this at all it seems like blackmail on one hand i know you're here illegally you have
now registered with the government to be fair the biden administration doesn't deport anyone they're
useless but theoretically i know you're here illegally.
So continue to fight until I say you can stay here.
Or we could just maybe enforce border laws and then go back to our native population
and say, why don't you want to enlist in the military?
What changed in our culture that drove military recruitment down?
What's going on in the military?
Like you've alluded to all sorts of like woke ads, the vaccination regulations, as well
as just generally like what are the physical fitness standards?
What are the benefits? What what are we doing that's not working rather than bring in a class of illegal people?
Why don't we just go to people who are here, our citizens, and ask them what would make you want to be in the military?
Well, then these people who come here illegally are still a burden on the taxpayer. Right.
We're still being paying for them to be here, paying for all of the benefits that they get as members of the military and will get when they
leave the military. So you're not in any way taking this problem away from the American taxpayer. You
might even be making it worse, one could argue. It doesn't make any sense to me.
We could give less benefits to foreigners that join the military, but give them citizenship as
their benefit. But isn't that like a form of discrimination? You're saying you're doing the same job,
but you get fewer benefits? That doesn't make any sense. Also,
it would be a form of discrimination.
Shouldn't you want to fight for your own country? I mean, shouldn't you be a citizen to enlist in
the military? How do we know where your loyalties are if you're not a citizen of the country you're
serving? Absolutely. I think these people in particular, recent people that are crossing
over the southern border have shown they have no interest in assimilating right they're waving their foreign flags they're not
adhering to our values people used to come to the u.s and literally change their last name so they
could pass as american that's how badly they wanted to assume our identity and adhere to our culture
and these people aren't doing that at all they're shoving it in our faces so to think that they would
want to fight under the banner of the American flag,
you know, honestly and believe in it, I think that's just stupid.
I think about the Hessians, having foreign nationals fight for your country. It's not super uncommon. The British hired the German Hessians to fight during the American Revolution
and against the colonists. But you see like the Roman Empire started to hire and bring in
foreigners to fight a late stage empire when they didn't want to fight anymore. and against the colonists. And also like, but you see like the Roman Empire started to hire and bring in foreigners
to fight a late stage empire
when they didn't want to fight anymore.
Like I said, if Ukraine wants to hire
America's illegal immigrants
to go fight for their war, that's fine.
But I don't think that as the country,
the US should say as a path to citizenship,
we should encourage illegal immigration.
It's the same reason that you make
with ending birthright citizenship, right?
If you say, if you have a child in this country,
you get to stay,
then people are like,
what can I do to have a child in that country?
And if I were to say, if you enlist in our military, you get to stay.
I'm undermining the actual problem, which is that people should not be illegally entering into our country and then being expected to find a way to assimilate and benefit, especially because they didn't respect the country in the first place to get there.
Yeah, and I'm just really tired of politicians trying to fix, you know, symptoms of
the problem and not actually get to the root of it. We have the capacity to totally stop the
illegal immigration on our southern border. We just don't have politicians who are willing to
do that. All right. Well, how about this one from Florida's voice? This is not normal. DeSantis
warns of invasion as group of Chinese nationals crosses the border. So how many of the people
that they're going to put in our
military or non-citizens are going to be i don't know iranian or you mean fighting age men from
other countries that don't have our best interests at heart and particularly those from china or they
get officer status then they have access to sensitive data you know people you want to talk
about this is a funny thing when i talk about uh civil war and they're like it'll never happen i love this one when i would ask people i would ask people this 20 years
ago if uh a u.s military man was ordered to fire on an american citizen would they do it and the
immediate reaction from everyone is no they would not and i'm like that's the stupidest thing ever
of course they would for the same reason why police shoot guys in their pickup trucks when they're on a high-speed chase.
The assumption with the question is that there's just like a random guy walking down the street.
There's always some kind of reason.
And if it comes down to like there's a mass protest and someone is ordered like by any means necessary, stop this guy.
He's a fugitive.
He's dangerous.
Do you think like, and I'm not trying to single out a military personnel.
I'm saying anyone in law enforcement.
They're not going to operate under the assumption that the person they're going after is a sane, rational individual.
They're being told by the superiors.
These are the actions you take.
This person is considered armed and dangerous.
Okay.
So you've got a National Guard out and they and they brief them and say, well's going to be riots, and there's going to be live ammo and fully automatic rifles.
Do not, you know, blah, blah, blah.
And then if something was happening and someone was firebombing something, and they said, that guy, stop him now, open fire.
Like, there's not a situation where they're going to be like, well, hold on there, commanding officer.
I understand there's something happening in front of me, i'm gonna go ahead and not do that there there are certain circumstances where imagine it's a regular
guy walking on the street carrying a newspaper someone might be like i don't know what's going
on but even then you have you have the issue of uh to the example i like to use is the boss first
bridge coup attempt in turkey these guys are being told something right you're going out you're you're
operating you're working in security.
They don't think, like the commanding officers aren't saying, I'm a villain and I want to kill
a random person. I order you to do it because then they're going to say no. There's typically
some kind of reason. But even outside of that, look where we are now. People have, I've talked
about civil war and they say, oh, the military is not going to fight the American people, blah,
blah, blah. This military will. A bunch of Chinese and Honduran nationals who are
in the U.S. Army and the National Guard
who are deployed to quell a riot from
a bunch of American-born
people in Staten Island. You got the people
in Staten Island protesting that they're
busing in non-citizens and giving
them their, and giving the tax money from the citizens
to the non-citizens. The citizens
protest. These guys show up
in the National Guard,
they're or to open fire, they're not going to think twice. Yeah, because they have no respect for our founding ideology. Like when you hear, you know, CIA or FBI or DOJ whistleblowers talk,
what they always say is, you know, I felt that this went against our founding belief system.
It was against the Constitution. I felt I couldn't, you know, do this raid on my fellow man
who did no wrong. These people don't have that kind of ideology or approach to anything at all.
They're already coming here.
They're breaking laws.
They're going to shoot the Staten Island protester, no doubt.
The assumption is an American citizen, you know, American as apple pie is told to open
fire on an American citizen who is also as American as apple pie.
And as I, whoa, whoa, I can't do that.
That's my neighbor and my brother.
And he's flying the American flag.
Dude, you will get some proud boy type dude
with an American flag or Trump supporter
waving a flag and screaming in protest.
And there will be a guy from Honduras
or from Ecuador or even from Africa
because we've had illegal immigrants.
They fly from Africa into Brazil
and then travel all over the southern border.
They're going to be given positions in not just the military.
Take a look at this one from WTTW.
New Illinois law that allows certain non-citizens to join law enforcement.
It becomes a flashpoint.
That's right.
There's going to be a cop who shows up and he's going to say, I don't know you.
I don't care about you.
My life was bad.
I have been given an opportunity.
Anything they tell me to do, I will do.
And you had that story where there was a Somali migrant who killed that woman in her car for no reason.
You remember that one?
It was Minnesota or whatever.
For no reason, he just kills this woman.
It was like a speeding ticket or something.
I can't remember the story.
This woman did nothing.
Her head lights out.
And he's like, okay.
And he shoots her and kills her.
What do you think is going to happen when you have non-citizen in your military it's the inmates running the asylum
yeah i go back to this i think it's more like the legion of doom to this business plot i mean this
is this is just insane business plot you got to just educate yourself on the business plot smedley
butler american retired general world war one general they wanted him to be to lead a fascist
overthrow and he said no If he had said yes,
we'd be living under a tyrant right now.
We probably would have joined the Nazis.
I just got to stop you.
I don't believe any of that.
We're under tyranny.
We are dealing with them
putting non-citizens in law enforcement.
They're giving non-citizens the right to vote.
The Biden administration
actually had Border Patrol
cut the barrier and vote the biden administration actually had border patrol cut the barrier and
shut the barriers down so this idea that there was some coup 100 years ago is meaningless when
right now we are living under tyrants yeah that was the attempt at legitimizing their coup was
that business plot but if smedley butler didn't have american ideals is the point i'm bringing
it up if he had been a foreign national that arose to the rank of general because of service and then
they'd ask him to go become the dictator if he's from somalia i'm not
saying somalia is a bad place but somewhere where dictatorships were norm you could see maybe that
and for all you know this guy the actual plot was we want you to go to congress and claim there's a
plot to legitimize the removal of the gold standard and the and strength in the federal
reserve and he smirked and said,
yes,
these ideas that we just believe these narratives and trust all of it is,
is,
is meaningless to me.
Smedley Butler was like the most decorated general on earth at the time.
So what?
It's a hundred years ago.
And it's irrelevant to the point that right now,
regardless of what happened,
we're looking at Dick Durbin out of Illinois saying non-citizens in the
military.
Yes.
And then we're looking at Illinois,
same place where they're saying non-citizens in the military. Yes. And we're looking at Illinois, same place.
So they're saying non-citizen law enforcement. If Smedley Butler had been a non-citizen in that situation and they go to a non-citizen,
they're like, hey, overthrow.
A non-citizen is way more likely.
I think the thing is America isn't just, oh, we live here and so therefore we are American.
American is a cultural and philosophical belief.
There is more behind it than just, oh, I happen to have residents or happen to have
stumbled into this area and live there. right? And that's why it works,
why there is common value. It's why you could have multiple states that also share commonality.
We don't work like separate countries entirely. What I find to be challenging is that Dick Durbin
is saying, well, we have these people here, and so we should just let them be citizens if they
trade in some way. It's undermining what really we need to address which is our cultural issues which is why people don't
want to enlist in the military i think that just saying we should replace the populations that he
that's here because they aren't doing the job that we want is not the answer it just will
ultimately create some long-term problems and i will clarify too for the super chatter dante
scarlet scarlet saying it's illegal immigrants we're concerned about. It's not as much non-citizens, but it is still,
in my opinion, partly non-citizens. It is true that there are people who are not citizens who
join the military. And we have had programs where you're not a citizen, join the military,
you can become a citizen. The difference between illegal immigrant and that is very clear. However, regardless, I would not be very happy with
a mass mobilization of non-citizens in any capacity, be it illegal immigrant or permanent
resident. And the thing is, Dick Durbin says we need more legal immigration too, which I just
fundamentally disagree with because it's the same argument, right? People here aren't doing the
thing we want, so let's bring in someone else rather than go to our native population and say how can we get you into these roles that we need fills what can we
do to rally as a country and solve our own problems i think this is what's what's upsetting
about the immigration debate which is that there are a lot i mean most both of my parents are
immigrants they came to america they chose to be here that was good right i was raised as an
american i have cultural ties elsewhere but this is not the same thing
when you come illegally.
When you come illegally
because you see some social benefit,
but you don't actually want to be
a part of the country,
it's very different.
The first thing you could do
would be to show respect to the country
and abide by their laws,
including their immigration laws,
which are frustrating.
And I understand that,
but illegal immigrants
are not going through the same process
that legal immigrants are going through.
I want to jump to this story
from scnr.com.
Who's that?
Bill Maher reveals to Roseanne Barr he's never heard of MKUltra or the World Economic Forum.
This is such an amazing example.
An amazing example of the ignorance that persists among liberals.
And let me play for you this video.
Roseanne educating Bill maher in a
hilarious way no wonder i don't remember this no shit you blocked it out mk ultra
who's that that's the mind control program you're under bill mk ultra yeah so who's but who's klaus schwab the head of the wef what's that google it
yo this is why i'm gonna be completely honest bill maher won't come on this show and i i i
think there's a there's a reason why liberals and leftists avoid this show because look, Roseanne, I mean, she knows what MKUltra is.
She knows what the World Economic Forum is. In this video, she didn't even say much about it,
but Bill Maher has no idea. These people, they live on the tip of the iceberg, up top,
above the surface level, and we're all scuba diving. So we see all the dirt, the grime,
and the horrors of the deep state.
And people like Bill Maher standing up top looking around like,
it's just water.
Y'all are crazy.
It's nothing but water.
And we're like, you know, down there, there's skulls
and other really awful, disgusting things.
Roseanne gets to hang out with Bill Maher.
But this is a good example of where liberals are at.
They have no idea what's going on.
They don't pay attention.
They don't care.
Yeah, I think that's true.
I think what I like
right now is like, Roseanne Barr is one of these
celebrities that's sort of toying the line
between several things. It was like, Theo Vaughn
had Tucker Carlson on his show, and I love it
because he's just a comedian. He's making an observation.
He has mass appeal. On the other hand, Tucker
is completely political and everything is, and they have this
interesting conversation.
Roseanne Barr confronting Bill over here, who's like the words mk ultra and glitching he has no idea
what's going on is extremely funny for i don't know an endless number of reasons but also because
it's sort of showing that more moderate people are aware of these things and i think that is not what
liberal entertainment expected i'm having a hard time believing he didn't know what MKUltra was.
Like, is he is Bill a master troll?
Like, does he pretend is he great at feigning ignorance?
No.
The famous clip, of course, is when Dennis Prager was on and mentioned tampons in the men's room.
And Bill was like, no, that's for their girlfriends.
Come on.
And Dennis was desperately, desperately trying to inform these liberals of actual things
that were happening and they all just laughed like a bunch of cackling morons bill adopted
cynicism because his show got shut down after 9 11 because he spoke out so harshly against it
against like the response to war i don't know exactly what he said he said something about
so you're saying he's not hating the terrorists like thinking everybody's you know yeah and now he's like oh if i speak out of line again they're
going to cancel me again so i've got to always be like oh really i didn't know that's the first
i've heard of this show this is podcast do you think afterwards he fell down like the craziest
google rabbit hole of like looking all of this stuff up he's not hasn't left his office for
three days he's totally like calling about roseanne barbie like thank you for telling me about this or do you think he just like ignored it he ignored
it i don't think they want to know they just write us off as conspiracy theorists and they never look
into it it's interesting but i also wouldn't wouldn't you wonder like this is what i i find
interesting if you're if you're curious about things you you would look it up but is it actually
just trying to put your head in the sand and pretend none of this is happening
well uh just as an aside for whatever reason a few minutes ago a house exploded in arlington
and there's video of it so i don't think how specifically no it's a house exploded in arlington
so it's like big breaking news uh the police were using a search warrant and this house exploded
but uh you know we people are people are chatting it but we don't we don't
have any uh details on on why so don't know what else to tell you about that but anyway back to the
point happened from like gas leaks right no this was a search warrant being served to a house that
was barricaded the house then exploded yeah so anyway so bill maher bill maher is, she called him MKUltra.
Basically, Bill Maher is the propaganda grift machine for the above-surface-level narrative machine.
He is the mockingbird.
Yeah.
But then he laughed and then was like, what is that?
It's so weird.
Is he even participating in this conversation?
Yeah, they talk about the Bank for International Settlements, and he's like, what's that?
And she's like, it's the Swiss bank.
It's the mother bank of all central banks,
the central bank of central banks.
And he's like, yeah, but they're not running the show.
I think it's funny.
I think it's funny that Ian's bringing up Smedley Butler
in the business plot, and I'm like,
I don't think that is relevant to what we're actually,
like, if it was Bill Maher, he'd be like, huh? Imagine wanting to what we're actually just like if it was bill maher he'd be
like huh imagine wanting to start a podcast and being like i've done no research i know nothing
of politics but i'm here to debate you okay if people listen to that how many subscribers does
he have on his on his show what is it called what's his show called um that one okay like the bill marr show
no i was like uh i don't even know the name critically uncorrect no i don't know what the
hell he calls it after dark i don't know that's dr drew's show club random there it is club random
all right well let's take let's take a look here at uh we'll got club random uh podcast and uh we'll pull up that he's got half
a million subscribers and 840 videos there it is and let's take a look at his videos he's got
he's got one with jordan peterson 4.1 million that's more for jordan peterson rfk i mean that's
the reality of this it's it's his videos are mostly about the guests him sitting down with
kid rock probably interesting
because what's happening is you know actually i take it back it's an excellent show it's an
excellent show it is dumb guy who doesn't read is educated by everyone else basically kind of like
rogan it does kind of work no but no but rogan rogan has a good idea a lot about what he's
talking about he calls himself dumb just so but he calls people curious like rogan asks a lot of really interesting questions because his mind is going whereas bill
maher is sort of like haha i think i'm supposed to laugh here i haven't watched the show really
so it shouldn't be that critical uh but it is if there's sort of a difference i think if you were
to sit down with someone say i know absolutely nothing about this please tell me as much as you
can in the next hour that could be an interesting format i think because he's sort of a built
personality it comes across differently you sort of a built personality,
it comes across differently.
You sort of expect him to know more.
I guess that's actually, you know,
I'm probably biased.
I mean, I don't think I know everything.
There's a lot I don't.
And we bring people on
and culture war especially is that.
But Bill Maher is remarkably ignorant.
I mean, if you're going to invite someone
to your show to discuss the merits of some political cause
and then, like in Dennis Prager's case,
laugh at him, it's like, no, no, no.
Listen, listen. Dennis Prager comes on your
show and says they're putting tampons
in the men's room. The response,
I think, which would be reasonable, is
really? They're really doing that?
I haven't seen that. Let me look that up.
Yeah, ignorance. Omar's like,
no, you're crazy, and now we're all going to laugh at you.
Ignorance is acceptable.
And if you have a smart mind and you can learn, it's actually invigorating to watch someone
that's ignorant, learn the information and no longer be ignorant.
But ignorance muddled with cynicism is just disgusting.
We've invited Bill on this show, and I can recognize why he can't do it.
He does his own show, and he lives on the other side of the country.
He came out to D.C. for stand-up.
So we again invited him on the show.
And the response was, he's not sticking around in D.C., but, you know, have a nice day.
I said, okay, no problem.
I get it.
So then we said, what if we go to L.A. or wherever, you know, we go to California,
and we will set up for the week and have Bill on either in the morning or at night, his choice.
And they said, we're not interested at this time.

Bill Maher, I think,
would end up just sitting there being like, what's that?
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
I don't know what that means.
Then Bill would make some argument and I'd say, actually, here, let me Google it for
you.
Show him an article and go, oh, I didn't know that.
The whole show would be him saying, I didn't know that.
Imagine going to Bill Maher and talking about all the things the Bidens have done.
He'd be like, really?
No, they didn't.
I mean, if Bill Maher actually listened to anyone in this room or you
know what you know be really great anyone in the audience right now any i could take a random person
and sit them down with bill maher and they probably know more than bill maher does kingsley you have
to call bill maher and help him out he needs your support well i have to tell you his viewership is
even worse so i went to be in the audience of his show when when Steve Bannon was on and was just chit-chatting
with some of the folks who are huge Bill Maher fans.
I mean, these are the most dysgenic, uninformed people you will ever see in your entire life.
So what do they do?
Where are these people?
Are they working in offices?
How do they support themselves?
How are they not aware of some of this stuff?
You're not going to know everything about everything.
But to be that level of uninformed
seems seems almost impossible to me all right i i nominate marshall mushy in chat to debate
bill maher because i'm confident that uh additionally um hype beast deluse would also
be able to run circles around bill maher i think bill's his just like he's a comedian and
his fans are like comedy fans they're not like politically initiated no it's a very small
percentage of the world that understands anything about politics you're you're half right like one
percent bill maher is a political comment commentator his show he has the new new rules
section where he literally talks of culture and politics he brings on journalists and writers and this is and and they talk about politics and culture and you know this is this is why we had um
bannon came on once and told me that i needed to go on his show and he was like let me let me reach
out to them i was like i don't want to go on that guy's show i just i just you know i'll i'll i'll
go on someone else's show and i'll be respectful to them, but especially with the panel,
they're all going to be talking garbage and just word diarrhea coming out on the desk.
And it's going to be like,
I saw what happened to Dennis Prager.
He was the smartest guy in the room.
He ran circles around him
and they all laughed at him.
Bro, if I wanted to go into a room
and say things to make people laugh,
I can easily just go do like a,
you know, balloon animal routine at a fairground and get a bunch of people to clap and
cheer for balloon animals.
If that's what you're looking for,
if you want to have a serious conversation,
it ain't going to be with people like Bill Maher.
Yeah.
I wonder going into a venue where people don't understand what you're talking
about and telling the truth and then looking like an idiot,
like it's exhausting.
It can be very exhausting.
So I understand not wanting to go into that
that room of of that raucous crowd and try and and he's he has home field advantage when you're
in your own oh yeah right i mean everyone who does the show is gonna say thank you and i for
the most part i assume and his producers are like you did a great job good good question and then
if the host does like a side eye then the whole audience is going to do a side eye because they're
all cult worshipers and then it's like oh god i got to deal with the cult now i do want to get a couple of these
cultural segments in because we have big news ladies and gentlemen the new grand theft auto
six trailer has dropped and fans are concerned it will be woke so uh for context we will oh
actually i don't even know if i can i play this official uh
like i'm not concerned about the copyright stuff i'm concerned about there's like graphic stuff in
here but we'll play just a little bit for you guys of the uh gta 6 trailer and then we'll talk about
the game getting woke all right here we go let's see
lucia do you know why you're here bad luck i guess
all right i'm just gonna i'm just gonna say it right away the game literally starts off
with two women of color in prison do you know why you're here bad luck i guess that's basically it
and then it just shows you
a bunch of shots
but there's concerns
about the game
being woke
we have this from
Sportskeeda
that asks the question
GTA 6 reveal
is just around the corner
it came out just today
scheduled for
December 5th
well the trailer
came out today as one of the most anticipatedth. Well, the trailer came out today.
As one of the most anticipated games
in history,
Paris was to release its first trailer.
Fans have many questions
about how it will turn out.
A major question is whether or not
the upcoming game will be woke,
which refers to a heavy focus
on political correctness
and social justice commentary.
I'm going to go ahead and pause
and say, yes, it will be.
Yeah, the fact that we're even
raising that question,
I feel like anything they
anytime they remake something they just are like and you know what this needs some gender queery
and just some more lgbt like is this what anyone who plays this game wants people have already
commented when they found out that the main character is going to be a single mom they were
like oh boy well they even needed more representation in video games. They've just been crying out for it for years. What I don't understand is why these companies
do this because they know that's not their target audience. That's not what their viewership or
usership wants. And they're going to face boycotts, but they continue to do it over and over again
anyway. What's the incentive? I've never quite understood. Just purely from a financial point
of view, you would think, huh, my users hate when I
do this and they don't buy my game. I'm going to stop doing this. Maybe they think the game is so
good, the franchise is so good, it's going to sell no matter what, and they want to indoctrinate
and give another perspective on life. Have you ever thought, hey, 15-year-old boy,
have you ever thought what it was like to be a ex-convict single mother?
Well, you should.
Maybe that's good.
I don't know if that's the angle.
I think it's more like two things happen.
Rockstar hires a 24-year-old 10 years ago,
and they're working in the mailroom or something.
Ten years later, they're in marketing, and they're in their mid-30s.
And they say, okay, so we're going to finally be put. It's been how long? Like longer than 10 years later they're in marketing and they're in their mid-30s and they say okay so we're going to finally be put it's been how long like 10 something 10 or longer than 10 years right
since gta 5 came out and they're like we're going to be launching grand theft auto 6 finally the
game is done hot or i'm sorry actually we should go back in time a few years they said we're
conceptualizing this game what should we do and said, well, if you want to get people our age, you've got to make it,
you know, social justice.
And the character should be a woman.
It should be a woman of color.
It should be all centered around marginalized peoples.
And they were like, really?
Marketing guy comes in and says, look, GTA 5 sold 70% of games to men.
We got teenagers, we got gifts for kids, but it's almost entirely young males. How do we double our market? I'll tell you this. Take a look at makeup. The
smartest thing the makeup industry did was pay tons of money to dudes who put on makeup because
they're like, listen, women wear makeup. It's a guarantee. But that means sales are 90% to women.
We could double our market overnight if we convince dudes to wear makeup.
So the big makeup companies specifically are like, find me prominent personality men who wear makeup and we're going to give them a lot of money.
All of a sudden now you have people making makeup channels and they're dudes.
And they backed drag becoming trendy because not only do our drag queens men who put on makeup, but they wear a lot of makeup.
So you're buying a ton of products then.
Yep.
That's it.
I feel like the women are oftentimes more left-leaning, obviously, but also more permissive of inclusivity.
So I think, you know, you saw with Bud Light such backlash because it was a male dominated market. So I just I'm curious to see, you know, in these male dominated industries, if they continue to kind of push back against
this stuff more so than women did. I feel like and it's not my area of expertise,
but with video games and comic books and things that I think of as more traditionally masculine
spaces, even when there's a little bit of backlash, it's not enough to change the company's
mind. The company just does it anyways.
It's like it doesn't respect the people that are at its core.
It knows ultimately they'll play the game because they want to see it.
What's a female space?
Like if male spaces are, you know, like football and video games
and sports and stuff like that, what's a female space?
Like movies, you could say can go either way.
It just depends on the movie.
Salon, spa type? Yeah, I was going to say gonna say salon like beauty industry women are much more socially based and so
you know i would think like traditionally for a long time it was like volunteer organizations
were predominantly led by women that's a little bit that's not as true now because we don't really
partake in cultural community events um i think in some ways like online it would be like the lifestyle vlogger the mommy vlogger
the fashion content it would be things that are more about that you're seeing a crossover of like
women like i see a lot of uh push for like women's diy projects women using power tools because it's
them fixing up their house but that's ultimately them being in a domestic traditionally female
space i don't know if that helps you with your question but that's where i
see women i don't know if you see women out and about people are saying the saints row reboot
was bad cyberpunk was bad i don't know you know maybe i mean i i there's an element of politics
in in in all a lot of these games but i wonder why they just don't make it so you can you know
i don't know design your own character like with balder's gate we talked about that balder's gate 3 comes out and you can literally make your character some kind of
freakish abomination you can make it like a orcish woman with a beard and just just go wild with it
yeah i mean make some kind of monster that's effectively true in the sims 2 games i know
there's like 100 of them now which i think of as being very popular among women but they're not as fantasy oriented they're not sort of sci-fi also they don't tend to go on quests
they just sort of live at home and have relationships and then you decorate their
house it's essentially a virtual dollhouse i think that i think what they're thinking with gta
is that so the the big issue people are pointing out is the main character is female it's never
been done before and i'm not you know i agree with some of the some of the counter critique it's just because they make a
character that's female that you play does not inherently make the game woke or whatever they
might be thinking like well yeah we've done nothing but dudes i mean maybe we make a female character
but i'm just i you know if you guys have played gta right yep you've never played gta you guys
look at this see we're not the target audience no we're
not why would i want to pick up a game where i'm going to run around opening fire onto random cars
mercilessly beat people in the street steal things and there's a whole lot of other really
awful things you can do in the game but do it as a woman it's like okay in in every game you're a guy and you can run around and just
beat random people and shoot them and just do all this crazy shenanigans but now it's like you're a
woman doing it okay so here's the game you're a woman you run around miami you run up to a random
guy and swing at him and then he punches you one time and you're dead and you wake up in the
hospital so okay with wasting are you like trying to accomplish something?
So there's a storyline and then there's missions and then GTA 5 is heavily online.
Yeah, I feel like the way you're describing it, you would want the strongest character, right?
And it's like this push that we're seeing, you know, with women in combat roles or as police officers.
So there's videos that go viral.
I think there was one this week of, you know, four or so police officers unable to subdue one male so i would think that you would want the man to be
unless their storyline is like she's gonna go beat up her ex-boyfriend who's the reason she's
in prison no no look look look i i have played every gta since the very the first one on pc
which was a top-down view and like you can barely see your little guy and you're running around it's
funny then gta 3 comes out and it's 3, and you're running around, it's funny.
Then GTA 3 comes out, and it's 3D,
and we're all excited.
I have never played the missions.
Never.
The moment I get GTA, I turn it on,
and I immediately just walk around,
steal a car, crash into buildings,
launch in the air, explore the map,
and just go totally hog wild.
So I propose someone mod the game,
assuming it comes out for PC, I think it is, make it they can call it realistic edition and you can play the same woman and
when you run up to a guy and swing at him it doesn't hurt him and then he hits you once you
go down and you're and when you go down it goes wasted and then when you wake up you're walking
out of the hospital and if you get arrested you're walking out of the police station same thing the woman swings at a guy hits him nothing happens he punches one time and then you go down well that'll be the
game it'd be more interesting it would be much more realistic yeah because then you'd have to
figure out how to live in this weird brutal society that you're in as a woman and you're
as you're if you're a male player don't commit crimes but this thing like if you're a male
player you're maybe used to having these strong guys who beat people up you don't go to hospitals
often and if you had to play as a female character like maybe it makes it more challenging because
you're not as good at fighting or whatever it would change the purpose of the game like maybe
you would spend more time scaling buildings and doing something else and then that's one of the
reasons that i think video games that are targeted towards men and women are slightly different. They are drawn towards different activities.
Their brains are rewarded by different behaviors.
So it doesn't sound interesting to me to walk around and beat up, you know,
ladies of the night in GTA.
Oh, it's crazier than that.
I mean, it's nuts.
But, sir, do you remember San Andreas?
Yes, I do.
That was the one where your guy could get fat, right?
Yeah.
I hope they do that.
At the fast food place.
Yeah, that's right.
In GTA San Andreas, you could go to the gym and start working out,
and your guy would get ripped.
Or you'd go to the fast food place and just keep eating burgers,
and he would get fatter and fatter.
This is a good life lesson.
These are great video games.
Okay, but I got to tell you, if they do that in GTA 6,
it will be the best game ever.
Because I will take that lady and I will slam
burgers until she is massive
and then have her just bounce
around Miami. Then she could
roll people over. Maybe she would have more ways
to defend herself. I don't know if the game would allow
anything like that. But just playing as
having this morbidly obese woman
trying to get into cars and just like
Yeah, it'd be... Just a tank, just so heavy.
Just a haymaker to everybody.
She encounters,
man,
I can see that.
That'd be fine.
She gets tired really quickly.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
That,
that agility definitely.
It's not there.
Yeah.
Jilly perks for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's,
uh,
I think I kind of want to,
I want to grab one more story we got here.
This is a ladies and gentlemen,
the Marvels sets a new record for lowest grossing mcu mcu movie ever the marvels managed to do worse
than the incredible hulk a 2008 movie that grossed just 260 million after its run in the movie
theaters so uh wow you know i i know a lot of people probably don't care but i just want to
point out this is like the end of an era for disney disney is spiraling into the gutter the marvels with their well let me show
you the characters look we got um look at this you know what this looks like this looks like
your your late 90s like a fast food restaurant ad where you've got and i mean it look you've got a
white woman a black woman and an ethnically ambiguous woman and i don't mean that to be a
dick but when they they would always show these like cartoon characters in these commercials like
mcdonald's or whatever and you're like that's a white woman that's a black woman and that woman
could be asian middle eastern she could be arabic she could be latino like we don't know for sure
and that was the point they're trying to show this you know like look at all of these people
of different backgrounds and they did and and get. They say after being released about a month ago, the film, which notably features Brie Larson, managed to gross only 80 million dollars in North America and 197 million globally.
The Hulk is widely considered to be one of the worst films they've ever done.
And now they've made a movie that did even worse this is good news and i bring you this story today
to uh tell you to keep your head up because the culture war is um well we're winning it
and disney stated to their investors that they screwed up royally and this is such a tremendous
nuclear bomb of a failure for a movie that, you know,
I think we're going to win this one.
Did you see it?
No.
Why would I go see it?
I have no interest.
Is that sad for Marvel fans?
Like if you love the Marvel series,
is it hard to see it
kind of go up in flames like this?
Infinity War was the end.
Yeah.
Yeah.
By the time they made Iron Man 3,
I was like, why? What are they made iron man 3 i was like why what are they doing man i was a huge marvel fan in the 90s and in the early early discover the magic of bad mgm casino

2000, but really the mid-90s.
No, I like Iron Man 3.
Iron Man 3.
It was just like they were just,
I could just feel like they were capitalizing on it
at that point.
I mean, obviously they were when Disney bought Marvel.
But Iron Man 3 was like, what was it, 2013 or something?
Yeah, thereabouts.
That was when I was fully like, it's gone.
It was like its sixth movie or something like that.
That's when I realized that they were just in it for the money.
They didn't care about Marvel and the heroes themselves and the journeys of the characters.
No, no, no.
They just wanted to make a bunch of money off it.
Dude, Thor 4, right?
There's a fourth Thor already, right?
Why did there need to be four of them ever, though?
And they're making more.
And more Spider-Mans.
Look, you do a like look you do it
you do a trilogy comic books i guess they make movies they did iron man captain america and
thor and i'm like makes sense then they did sequels and they made them to trilogies then
they did doctor strange and i'm like all this fine guardians the galaxy was interesting to me
because i was like really they think that franchise is going to do really well and it
didn't it was awesome and the way they did the music and everything was absolutely incredible.
And then we end up with Avengers Infinity War.
And that was like, wow, that was a big set up.
It was a masterfully done movie.
It was three movies spiraled around each other with the villain as the protagonist.
It was incredible.
And then Infinity War, I'm sorry, Endgame was kind of wonky nostalgia.
Welcome to the
end have a nice day and after that it's just been a bunch of garbled disney nonsense yeah they like
the infinity gauntlet was i think marvel's one of their best i have it here i have all six issues
of it on my desk i carry it i carry it around with me it inspired me as a kid but like they
changed that they made it about the spectacle that they do just too much about the spectacle
too much about colors and big explosions
and flying around and less about the storylines and the characters themselves which is what made
marvel so great was like the interpersonal relationships between the characters and the
x-men for instance that wolverine was in love with cyclops's wife and they had like a special
relationship the two of them um and then the movies come out and it's just i don't know
oh look at this motion and weird effects and crap.
Bob Iger, who is complained by Elon.
Hi, Bob.
Says, the Marvels was shot during COVID.
There wasn't as much supervision on the set, so to speak,
where we have executives that are really looking over
what's being done day after day after day.
He argued that prior records,
that prior records the studio set in the billions of dollars
have put
expectations out of whack we got to the point where if a film didn't do a billion dollars in
global box office we were a disappointment that's an unbelievably high standard and i think we have
to get more realistic yeah um guardians of the galaxy 3 fared well over the summer grossing 845
million dollars in the box office and i definitely went to go see that it was certainly not as good
as guardians one is is
is awesome and it's mostly the soundtrack and then they did with two they tried you know aging some
of the music i think i don't think the soundtrack was as good in the third one but i'll go see those
movies the marvel is garbage it's woke garbage it's girl power diversity nonsense that i'm not
interested in watching the first marvel captain marvel was so bad it's it's just they
tried making a female a feminist hero's journey where it's like it's the men that are holding you
down the power was inside of you the whole time but the men were holding you back that's that's
the premise of the film and i'm just like that is the worst thing i've ever seen yeah and then
they tried to make another one i'm not going to go see it. People are tired of it.
I feel like there's just,
since we've gone from, you know,
a merit-based system,
there has been a decline across all industries.
We're no longer hiring, you know,
the best writer that can produce the best script.
We're hiring someone because they subscribe
to this woke dogma, this belief system,
or because they check an affirmative action box.
And I think you're going to continue
to see just massive flops like this
in every industry if you do that, and especially art and entertainment.
Yeah, see, look, Robert Downey Jr. is a legend,
and they made him Iron Man, and he nailed it.
And Brie Larson was a diversity cast,
and she does not have the talent, nor the capabilities,
nor the right build to play Captain Marvel in the first place.
It's a guy. captain marvel was a guy
well originally it's supposed to be a man well that they cast a woman as but yeah no no no okay
okay look look look look you're getting into you're getting into the deep no but the real
issue is that they there is a female captain marvel they changed it in the comics the story
progressed and they wanted to make the female version okay getting a dainty
five how old is how tall is brie five six and she weighs 100 pounds soaking wet i'm like that right
there is bad casting but what they wanted to do was they were like the time of men is over they
wanted to make a marvel lead that i think i think brie larson is was the knife in the chest of the
marvel cinematic universe because they want they were like, Robert Downey jr is he's,
he's going to be out.
It's been 10 years.
We're going to need someone to come in and take the lead role in this
franchise.
And they chose Brie Larson,
who I think has talent,
but certainly not for this role.
They said,
just get us a woman.
They chose Brie.
It was the,
it was the worst casting decision ever made.
She's a hundred pounds soaking wet and 5'6 or whatever.
Maybe she's 5'7.
She's 5'7.
5'7.
There you go.
I was off by an inch.
Are you kidding me?
I said this.
Robin Wright would have been way better for Captain Marvel.
Way better.
She's an older, more mature, and she's already shown that she can play these roles.
This was a huge screw up.
But if you look at the marvels
itself i mean come on they're only doubling down on the diversity narrative it seems weird and on
top of that it's not relatable like if you want to have a female captain marvel okay i'll grant
you that maybe you want to shake it up the car the comics change but the storyline should also
appeal to women and i don't think feminism actually appeals to women so if you write a
feminist story not only is maybe this actress
who is talented in other contexts,
but poorly cast here,
that's already a challenge to overcome.
And then you have this narrative of like,
and then men are your enemies,
which I don't think that's how a lot of women feel.
And so it's just making nothing relatable.
Women don't see themselves in the lead actress.
They don't see how she's carrying out this role
and they don't like the storyline.
Well, she did well in Scott Pilgrim
when she played a snooty bitch. Like I said, she's carrying out this role and they don't like the storyline well she was uh she did well in scott pilgrim when she played a snooty bitch like i said she's talented in some
places she could be well cast other elsewhere but instead like was she just like trendy at the time
they were like we got to get brie larson never mind what this is actually supposed to be doing
what they thought with a lot of these uh uh the castings were like we'll get someone who's up and
coming and make them big because our movies are so
popular we don't got to pay a premium for them like i think about robert denny jr i'm pretty
sure it was with iron man they were like they didn't want to cast him because they were like
your your history and drug abuse we're not interested and then it was like something
happened where it was really hard but he they agreed to give him the role and then he nailed it
and then it relaunched him in a lot of ways, right? Right. And then what they did with a lot of the casting decisions for Marvel movies was no names.
Like small, smaller actors who looked like they were on the up and coming.
And Brie Larson was the failure.
And they needed someone to carry the torch for Robert Downey Jr.
And they chose the worst person.
And the franchise is fizzled and just crumbled.
And they've destroyed everything from underneath them.
So Get, Woke, Go, Broke.
They've admitted Get, Woke, Go, Broke. We have been warning them of get woke go broke and it feels really really good to watch them get woke and go broke when i look at these movies
and i don't i honestly i don't go watch them i'll see like ads and stuff i see mark ruffalo
and uh what's his name from clueless who i love he's great paul rudd paul rudd and like um scarlett johansson and they
all look like paul rudd a little bit not so much but they all look like they have this fake like
intensity it's like we're super rich and we're on a hollywood movie set right now look at how
intense we are i just that's the vibe i get none of that is like i'm never afraid for the characters
i'm never worried that they're not going to just dominate their surroundings even if they get hit
i know they're superheroes and they're going to get back up even if they bleed they're going to be fine
and that's just it totally lacking the whole you know superman losing his powers is one of
the greatest things about superman that he has a vulnerability and i don't get wasn't wasn't i
think that came about because the voice actor for the cartoon or something was going on vacation
for which one what cartoon i could be wrong about this i read somewhere that superman originally did not have a weakness but the voice actor wanted to go on
vacation so they were like superman was made ill by kryptonite so he's out that's funny yeah it
was something like that was like a radio show is that what it was the real life you know everybody's
got a weakness i don't know if it was a radio show or tv show or something i don't know i just read
something on the internet that means it's true so. So that's how it works. That is how the internet works. It wasn't NewsGuard certified,
so I could be completely wrong about this one.
And AIBot wrote it.
ESPN posted it.
Oh, man.
We are so close to AI reality, man.
People are just going to be like,
plug me in.
I'm done.
What was it?
Elon Musk saying artificial general intelligence
is three years away.
That's the point at which
you can just put on a VR headset and say, i want to play a video game where i fight dragons and then the world just
forms all around you and you're fighting dragons we got to get the movement done we've got the
treadmill downstairs but it's still a little tight have you tried it no that was the feedback that
i've heard so far is it's a little hard to because you're in a harness and you're like
not really walking yeah and you can't
get those long gates for long running yet yeah but it's not either look you're gonna hook your
brain up to it and you're gonna go full-on think you're running yeah you're gonna go full-on brain
in a vet that's the future of ai once we get artificial general intelligence the ai will just
literally create the schematics for human computer brain interfaces it will literally just be like
boom here you go it's gonna be weird because you're gonna have a section of people who just flee
the woods there are people who like are interested in technology and will want to engage with it
and then there will be other people who are like i am out we're going off the grid pack up the
water let's get out of here no i don't think the i mean i have a whole mountain community that the
ai can't they're not gonna flee to the woods the ai is not gonna kill you it's gonna give you
everything you've ever wanted there's's going to be people who just
don't. And there's, like,
I think people in cities are going
to be completely removed
from the question. You're going to,
you know, one by one,
your neighbors will stop answering their phones.
Your friends will stop answering their phones.
Slowly, over time,
you'll have drinks on Friday night
after work, and then someone doesn't
show up and you hit them i'll be like nah i'm gonna stay in tonight one by one your friends
stop showing up to the bar until it's just you sitting there and being like yo where is everybody
and they're all plugged into their own micro universes where they get to be god they're all
having drinks at the bar in the metaverse you'll be the last one to realize no they're not playing
with you they're not gonna be playing games with each other dude they're like you're some dude you know is gonna be like sorry i'm
you know i'm busy and he's gonna be in skyrim fighting dragons another guy is gonna be in
like a special forces unit you know it's call of duty-esque then the women are gonna be playing
50 shades of gray in fact probably they're all just in porn they're all just doing some weird
crazy combination of everything where they're fighting
dragons and porn at the same time.
It's just, it's going to be garbled nonsense.
It makes no sense.
Yeah, I think that's true.
I think, I think that what's addictive about the internet is it can give you anything you
want, but at the same time, it's going to lie to you and it ultimately wants something
from you.
Like I said before, I think AI is all about just making you addicted and making you engage
with it because it needs you in some ways to survive because it wants your data. It wants to from you like i said before i think ai is all about just making you addicted and making you engage with it because it needs you in some ways to survive because it wants your
data it wants to study you i i think the issue is reduced consumption so to all the for all the
malthusians out there who think there's too many people the solution is really simple and i think
it was um what you've all know harari that's his name right yeah yeah Yeah. Yeah, he said, give the, you know, I'll translate what he said.
Give the plebs video games to keep them occupied and reduce consumption.
It was a general idea.
Somebody who's normally going out and drinking at a bar, they're consuming.
This mass consumption over large populations creates lots of pollution.
I tell you what.
Lock them in a room of their own choice.
Plug them into the computer that gives them everything they wanted.
And they will slowly fade away and cease to exist.
They'll eat less. That's right.
The useless eaters. Alright, we gotta go to Super Chats.
We're late. If you haven't already, would you kindly smash
that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends,
head over to TimCast.com,
click join us. The members
only uncensored show will be coming up in about
20 minutes and that should be fun. We got some stories for you
that are probably
gonna make you angry, but we'll read them all right kilted carnivore with the first super chat we
started the super chat that we scheduled the stream a little later than normal so that means
our normal first super chatters missed he says great show friday album has been on repeat shout
out to the defiant their album i believe reached number 14 last time i checked that's crazy
everybody was buying it.
They were like 34.
They just kept climbing.
That's because of the TimCast fans.
I think that... I don't know where.
I think it was iTunes, right?
I saw 24, so you said it was up to 14.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it hit up to 14.
Pete Parato was tracking it on X for a little while.
Yeah, so if you guys want to support defiant individuals
who said no to mandates and no to lockdowns and for this were punished, then you want to buy the Defiance new album wherever you can.
I believe all the songs are basically about this, Is Over where they have the line where it's like we can't stay here
you made it clear and it's time to say
I think it's time to say goodbye
or goodnight but it's funny because
it's very obvious what the song's about
these guys were like
I don't understand why you're telling me I have to get vaccinated
like you know especially Pete Parada whose doctor
says don't and they said
get the F out we don't care
so it's time to leave that's
it that's a great song and it was cool they were first like tim cash trash house live music night
like they're they're cool people and they have cool music to back that up well i will i will
also add the studio that we have designed is for like two people to play an acoustic guitar
and to do like acoustic sessions but they bring in the whole band yeah they wanted to play a whole
band and i was like all right i mean it's really hard for us to pull off but uh i was happy with it you know
so congratulations to their to them and their their album sales but uh we're working out we've
got a song coming out in 11 days and uh what did i say about it already did i mention i'm just
gonna say it now anyway we've got we've got uh guest appearances by uh smoky mike and the god king i think i may have just given away too much they'll be in the video yeah yeah yeah i think
maybe but uh so this is gonna be awesome i mean i probably should hype it up a little bit but
i'll give up more and more information to be closer to launch day which i believe is the 15th
but uh yeah smoky mike and the god that, that's Michael Knowles and Jeremy Boring
are going to be in the video.
And yeah, that's coming out in a week and a half.
Very fun.
Are you guys going to perform live that Friday?
It's a week and a half,
that's two weeks, isn't it?
It's 11 days.
It's a week after next?
Yeah, it's 11 days.
Yeah.
So not this Friday, but the Friday after?
Yep.
Are you guys going to be a live band that night?
Nope.
What?
No, I'm not doing that. I i guess i could i could play music but it would just i would just play some songs or
whatever we could for fun um we probably should we should probably also just book some you know
musicians have them come jam and play music so i've seen that house exploding did you see that
video yeah that's crazy right i wonder why well maybe maybe we'll look into it we'll talk about it on the um members only a little bit but yes we
should play live music that night that sounds great yeah just had a great feeling friday night
live music i think the audience loves it too yeah i just don't want it to be just us jamming all the
time right it's got to be good we want to book we want to book bands and for the defiant it was you
know we were having uh dickie barrett and p Pete Parada on to discuss these issues that were around what happened.
But I think we might actually just in the future have a guest and a musical guest, just like a separate musical guest.
If they don't want to, you know, hang out for the conversation or maybe we just, you know, we just do shows like normal.
Kingsley, do you have a band? Do you want to be live?
I don't, but I'd love to come. Sounds fun.
You know, I was thinking we got to do we got to do a super group because Ben Shapiro plays violin,
Jack Posobiec plays bass, James O'Keefe DJs.
And so I was like, we have the makings of just being able to do a super group song.
Maybe that's what we need to do.
If we got every single, if we got everybody on the one track,
like we start, here's the idea.
We can produce it.
Carter Banks can start the production.
And then we'll send out samples and request all of these different personalities to contribute
then we can force we can have if everybody promotes the song we'll hit billboard
we'll hit the hot 100 be super cool everybody gets a platinum record it's got to be good they
did that we are the world thing and they just got like bob dylan saying and he looks so it looks so
annoyed no i'm talking more like you know traveling wilburys or something yeah if it's good but the weird thing
about musicians is you might you have like five phenomenal musicians but if they have no chemistry
with each other then the music they make together has no chemistry or very little chemistry so
interesting phenomenon like being good doesn't mean same with football you get the best superstars
you put them all on one team all those egos end up destroying their camaraderie and they can't win a game.
All right, let's read some more.
We got Fix Bayonet saying, howdy.
Is everyone ready to defend ExxonMobil by invading Venezuela?
Is that the plan?
I have no idea.
All right, Jacob Parody says, Leo was a great movie.
It was wholesome and funny.
Y'all should see it.
It teaches Hollywood how movies should be made with no political messaging you know this is what i've heard
about lady ballers i've heard a range of opinions on it and i've heard some people say it's like the
funniest thing i've ever seen they're like oh it was so good and i'm like i bet that person's very
very conservative like staunch christian conservative because the thing i've heard from
more of the disaffected liberal types like oh it was it was pretty funny but they put those
political messages in there they were pretty heavy and i'm like ah okay so you're not a conservative
also you know what it's like for us when we watch your movies that's no but i'm not talking about
woke people like the woke people are protesting it i love that was hilarious when tyler fisher
was saying that uh he mentioned this on the culture war podcast that they they brought in a bunch of extras to this to the arena where they're playing
basketball and none of the actors knew what the movie was but once they found out someone started
protesting in in the x like an extra was protesting i'm like that is one of the funniest things i've
ever heard but uh i guess everybody says it was pretty funny it's just uh the only critique i've heard is
the people who are like disaffected liberals who are sick of wokeness are like ah yeah it was
preachy and then the conservatives are like it was the best and i'm like because you like hearing
that message you know what i mean right i feel like traditional media succeeds in like pushing
the message it wants to push if it's subtle right like even Ben Shapiro talked about this in his early days.
You talk about, you know, friends and how you fell in love with the characters and then, you know,
you didn't really care that Rachel and Ross had a kid out of wedlock because you loved Rachel and
Ross so much and it was fine, you know, that they were doing all these things. So I feel like that
subtle messaging is actually how you change people's minds and opinions and worldviews,
not the in-your-face, know conservative gag line necessarily yeah let's uh let's grab some more we got cyrus says i just added my business galaxy
paintball to public square i create the most unique and high quality headbands in the world
made in kansas thank you tim for providing the people with the goings on thank you for the super
chat and chat it to public square it is amazing to see their tremendous success super awesome to hear it this is a good time of year to go to public square too because
it's like i'm sure everyone is christmas shopping oh dude buy all your christmas presents off public
square go to public square download the app and that's where you want to buy all your presents
because then what happens is you got some like liberal aunt or whatever maybe maybe you're doing
secret santa with all your family members and you got the liberal aunt or cousin or something. And then you get chosen to buy them a present and
you get them a really good present. Maybe it's like a basket of soaps from, you know, from
Lauren Chen or something like that. And they're gonna be like, wow, this is really good. And they
like it. And then they buy it again later. They look it up and they're like, I want to keep buying
from this. And then you'll get these people to start supporting businesses that, you know,
they don't care, but you do. So help out the businesses that share your values you know i think that
looks good too because they're they have a lot of small businesses or like up-and-coming businesses
so it's a it's a good way to get in contact with businesses that are small and that believe in the
things that you believe in i feel like it's just better quality products too because they're not
mass-produced oh yeah definitely lillian says would you kindly go to
land of biltong and get all your biltong needs free shipping with code sticks mild to spicy all
types of meat too no we got it we got a signature biltong coming right serge that is correct uh i
spoke to him yesterday we'll get that all sorted out this week how much are we buying it's like
one whole cow or something um i don't know if he might do that.
If we have some jewelry, I'm sure he would do it.
Oh, I assumed it was like one cow, please.
I'll ask him.
So for those that don't know,
Biltong is South African style dried meat.
And one day Serge had this bag of it and he was eating it.
And then now we have a bunch of it all over the place.
We're trying to find good brands.
Actually, we have this Righteous Felon.
It's pretty good.
But the stuff that Serge had was the was way better yeah nothing that i've ordered off off the internet has come
close to what that but it's like it's like your friend yeah just like your friend made it yeah
it's just it's homemade you can if you can find somebody that's african that'll make it for you
that's probably the best bet yeah it's better than than jerky because uh jerky is really dry and hard
and biltong is it's it's just moisture i guess and you can yeah it's good and then what's the other stuff that uh other stuff is through
anyone that's african probably knows what i'm talking about it means dry sausage literally
insanely fatty yeah it is it is yeah it's good it's good stuff what do we got kevin brady says
tim you mean life log is functioning as intended i'm shocked yeah that's, what was that? CIA's program before Facebook?
They wanted to create a database of everyone's life or something like that?
Yep.
That doesn't sound terrifying at all.
Barely a Millennial says Walmart headlines
are misleading. They haven't advertised an X since October
and nothing to do with Elon.
I bet Target would love a Walmart
boycott. Yeah, that's basically what we were
saying. All these publications are just trying to make it seem like Walmart is boycotting Elon Musk.
However, I do believe October is when the initial controversies were starting with Elon.
Yeah.
That's why I'm like, I wouldn't be surprised, man.
Come on.
Walmart gets no special love from me.
I mean, but Walmart also benefited from the Target boycott, right?
When people turned against
target they shifted the way they present their stores they said ah yes we see what's happening
and we're going to try to capture you guys so even if the boycott ends you'll still end up
liking shopping here more colin steven says tim please remind chat that there are three days left
on the atf public comment period for them to regulate private sales go read the comments
bots bots is that what you're saying i don't know oh are you saying there's bots in the comments
i wouldn't be surprised man but i don't think it matters we are winning the 2a battle so beautifully
more than half the country is a permitless carry in some fashion mostly constitutional
carry but i think florida is uh
permitless concealed carry only it's it's fine i guess i mean i i've talked to a lot of people
about it's interesting some say concealed is better some say uh open carry is better
because i've had people say they want to make sure everybody knows they're armed so that there's just
never a fight because if you're carrying concealed a criminal might think you're not carrying and then actually draw on you and then you get into a fight whereas if you're carrying concealed, a criminal might think you're not carrying
and then actually draw on you,
and then you get into a fight,
whereas if you're open carrying,
they're just going to walk away from you
and not get into a fight at all.
Or, I mean, there's pros and cons.
Or you're somewhere and they say you're the first target.
You never know.
I think the entire, it's up to you.
James Gold says,
I see comments on movie ads that are all, quote,
what a great movie, and that has to be bots
or copy pasta is strong yes i mean copy pasta oh none of that's real dude come on who comments
who comments on a movie review and says great movie i've always wondered that some people maybe
but nah come on it's just it's just gotta be script it's gotta be bots yeah someone's like
i worked really hard on that comment.
Josh Burks says, I wanted to start a channel
where I'd put things in the microwave to see what would happen.
Then I realized the cost to get
new microwaves would be crazy.
It was clearly a good business model because that's one of
MrBeast's first videos.
Yeah, we built a microwave gun.
It was actually,
well, I'll put it this way. It could have been
a real microwave gun, but we actually kept one part of it so it never functioned. And it was actually well i'll put it this way it could have been a real microwave gun
but we we actually kept one part of it so it never functioned and it was just a gag but uh yeah they
have videos on youtube where people make microwave guns and what it basically does is just like a
magnetron on a on a two by four and it directs microwaves at things you can light up fluorescent
lights or whatever but uh definitely don't try that at home unless you are a professional or
have assistance of professionals because that stuff can be dangerous metra crowe says the super chat isn't real
well okay get a pair with sully says ian fdr didn't leave the gold standard he used the feds
to raid homes and steal gold from americans he openly advocated for fascist socialist economics
fascism is nationalist syndicalism not corporate mercantilism that's interesting what if the corporate mercantilists are in cahoots with the government
what if the business plot was actually guys being like yo this dude's going nuts and
raiding people's homes and stealing their gold smedley help us and smedley smiled and went
no yes smedley hated did not like fdr he was outspoken against him but he also was like i
want to i want to maintain my ability to vote.
That's what Smedley said.
So I'm not going to become a fascist dictator.
Perhaps.
But yeah,
I do think,
I see like what you're saying that those bankers maybe weren't totally wrong
in what they wanted,
like not the overthrow part,
but the,
you never,
you never know what,
what part of history is propaganda,
right?
That's why I want to do that.
I want to,
I want to make those short films.
We got, we got, okay, we got, we got got a few job announcements i guess we want to do the short
films where it's a it's a for the movies from the perspective of the other side as if it was
propaganda like star wars is you know a bunch of religious fanatics from a desert planet take a
cargo ship and go blow up a military base darth vader is a disabled war veteran and ranking
official in the military untold millions civilian Untold millions of civilians are killed in a Death Star explosion.
All that stuff.
And make short films like that.
We are also looking for showrunner and producer and comedian.
And so it's just we need like production manager level.
We need like project management, high level stuff.
So I think the first thing we're looking for is probably resumes from people with experience working in show production.
And I mean like legit full on shows. and then from there we have to sort of whittle down to figure out who can actually work on the
projects we're trying to do to get like short films and skits and other stuff up so we gotta
figure that one out i don't know do we have an email for that do we have like jobs at timcast.com
or something i think so should probably figure that out possibly we do maybe you guys can try
it out and let us know right and then probably what we're going to do is then we're going to
ask for like um samples and demos and then the ones we like we'll ask to come in contract and produce
some short films and some some skits and some bits and then if it works out then full-time
hiring or something that's the plan be cool so we're looking for people who can manage teams
run a show have creative vision are funny and uh yeah that's what we're looking for
we got a great uh uh film team though like our our uh our crew wesley and aaron they're really
really good and uh and kent as well so the music video that we're putting out in uh 11 days is so
far looking absolutely hilarious and incredible i'm really excited for this i hope everyone's
ready i i have to say this i have to say this uh this song that we're putting out it's probably the absolutely hilarious and incredible. I'm really excited for this. I hope everyone's ready.
I have to say this.
I have to say this.
This song that we're putting out,
it's probably the greatest song ever written.
And I just have to say that.
And I believe once the song comes out,
everyone will understand what I mean.
But I believe the song that we are putting out,
it's a cover.
It's a cover.
It's a modern cover. And it is the greatest song ever written and uh uh that's not in dispute they're gonna figure it out
good good let them figure it out let them figure it out it'd be funny and they still have to watch
the video because they can't figure that out yeah but uh it is the it is the greatest song the greatest all right where are we
at raymond g stanley jr says did you notice he didn't say marines we recruit oh interesting
yeah marines consistently make their recruitment goals and i've and so does spacex spacex regularly
make they're not spacex that's space force um but i think that's again because there is more to it
than just your rank and file and you're
putting on a uniform the marines have a culture and especially you know space forces people who
are interested in space there's something else there we should ask questions about the motivation
and culture we shouldn't just make it be like oh well we don't have a body so we'll just take a
body that's here illegally and put them in I bet nobody's figuring it out I bet we'll also have to
lower the vetting standards right because we have no idea who these people are.
They're not being vetted when they come across the border.
I'm sure a lot of these people are from terror hotspots
that would raise a red flag
going through a normal military vetting process.
I'm sure they're just going to have to lower the standards
if they want to actually let these people in.
Everybody keeps saying tribute by Tenacious D.
That is incorrect.
We are not putting up...
That's actually a tribute to the greatest song in the world.
We are not putting... Yeah,'s actually a tribute to the greatest song in the world. We are not putting, yeah, exactly.
And I think the reality is,
tribute was probably about the song that we're putting out.
That's right.
Yeah, I mean, you talked about it on Friday.
So if you guys are watching on Friday, you know.
All right.
We have Lars Joey says,
Watch Bill Maher's comedy before his talk shows.
His commentary was absolutely on point.
Makes his fall into ignorance even more stunning.
Sad reality.
But there you go.
That's just the way it is, man.
Dude, how does he not know who Klaus Schwab is?
That is so crazy.
Because he doesn't read?
Still.
Look, look, look.
We're like a W.E.F.
Ian, Ian.
What the heck?
Ian.
If you had $30 million in cash, would you really care anymore?
Yes.
Bill Maher is, what, 60-something years old?
How old is the guy?
Yeah, something like that, probably.
He's probably just like, I'm tired, man.
And then HBO's like, Bill, look, we're going to pay you another $10 million this year.
And he's like, whatever.
And then he probably barely
pays attention he's just a goofball just a goofball he's just checked out he's checked out
and i don't blame him i mean he's probably smoking cigars and drinking whiskey he's single he's got
no kids yeah most comedians don't even exist yeah what does he do he's just like super wealthy and
not curious about anything and has no children. What is he doing?
What is he doing?
He's curious because he interviews really high-powered politicians even.
He interviewed RFK and Vivate.
He's curious though.
He could have a booker who's like, you should talk to this guy.
He's like, what do they do?
Who's MKUltra?
He is curious.
I'll give him that.
If you listen to him.
I don't want this now, so I get it.
I'm being kind of hard on him.
He definitely likes to dive in on ideas.
