what's up everybody welcome back happy skews day to you as you're uh watching this here
it's may 20th 20 25 uh me and mark recording this on monday may 9th at 2 p m on the left
coast i'm tray that's mark this is skews mark you must be feeling pretty good the dallas mavericks
You got a real shot at, like, having a good white boy basketball player.
That must be exciting for you as a big Mavericks fan.
Yeah, although all the conspiracy theories saying it's rigged,
like, like, as if badass basketball playing white boys aren't drawn to the Dallas Mavericks,
like fucking homing pigeons.
Absolutely.
Yeah, so they got the first overall pick, Marks Mavericks,
which was like statistically 1.6% or something like that numerically.
But they got it, and the number one overall pick is going to be this big white boy from Duke.
named Cooper Flag
Dude, I'm glad you brought this up
because the conspiracy theories
Like, it's one of those
Conspiracy theories that everybody seems to believe
And it's like a low stakes one
So it's more fun to talk about
Right, you know it's completely
It's obviously fucking moronic
For reasons we'll get into
But like the
Like in this current environment
Just Monday today
The White House press briefing
They started doing this thing
Where they put in mega psycho YouTubers
To ask the first question
And the first question
Carolyn Levitt was from a guy
Works for Zero Hedge.
You asked him about the Clinton body count stuff.
Cash Patel and Dan Bugino, you know, the head of the FBI, his chief deputy, went on Fox News, a long interview.
Remember we made fun of Cash last week, testifying at Congress that Epstein killed himself?
Yeah.
And so they tried to clean that up.
He brought a second Q&N on guy to sit next to him to be like, oh, actually Epstein did kill himself.
Also, Bonino said, we've looked at the files related to the Trump assassination attempts.
It doesn't appear to be anything else more there, yada, yada, yada.
So, of course, Dan Bogino is getting a bunch of death threats as a deep state trader, deep state trader right now.
Yeah. I mean, I mentioned a version of this last time we were together when you were talking about this, but it's like it does at least hit for me that, you know, if you court, you know, if you lay down with lunatic dogs, you will still at least finally get some fleas, you know, that they court like hardcore QAnon type.
So, so extensively. And I know that Q&OND conspiracy theories expanded tremendously and went way more mainstream. But still, if you court this.
particular kind of controversy and then you become the deep state the fact that at least some
chunk of your you know of your demographic or whatever will we'll hold that against you and we'll
be like well wait i thought we had an understanding i thought you were going to you know you were
going to uncover all this and of course all these motherfuckers never had any intention of uncovering
anything ever you know when they got in there and then they get in there and they read all the truth
and they're like oh there's not really much to uncover but but now they got a you
you know, they got to take the heat from all their Looney Tunes base members that they have.
Like, I get why people are suspicious of Epstein's death or whatever,
but also, like, people in federal prison kill themselves all the time.
Like, there's a guy, there are a bunch of guys who set themselves on fire in a state prison
to protest prison conditions last year. Nobody cared.
Well, you know what, my thing, because again, we talked about this before with that, too,
any time it's come up. But my thing with that always was, I always thought people focus way too much
got way too hardcore on the whole Epstein
didn't kill himself thing because my
position on it was always that
as weird as it sounds, it kind of doesn't even
really matter that much
because even if he did kill
himself, it was still
like a colossal lapse
and fucking, you know, security
protocols and all that shit. Like
he should not have been able to
kill himself even if he wanted to.
So it's like you don't even have to go so far as like
oh, they murdered him
like to say that, uh, you know,
it was some bullshit how that all went down like regardless even if he did kill himself they're not they have
suicide watching a guy like that should never have been able to kill himself even if he wanted to so it's
like you know right but even if you think he's a captured spy what's a captured spy supposed to do
right exactly no yeah they sign i'm sorry that's what i'm saying i could totally buy that a guy like
that in that world that there's a protocol and an understanding it's like you said you know if you
get caught, you fucking, you take
yourself out, you know. And the Trump
the Trump assassinations have happened on live
television. We all saw the guy miss and the guy's got his
head canoed and they got a guy in Butler in
Pennsylvania. But like,
it's a, the NBA draft thing is
because you can, people will watch
like the draft is the conspiracy.
It's happened. It's a business conspiracy
to, to, uh, crush labor.
It happens on television. People
watch a show that like title,
watch the conspiracy hosted by the conspiracy
hosts and be like, hmm, it must be a
deeper conspiracy here, some corruption going on, I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
It's like, we're watching a TV show where a bunch of kids have, or incoming talent
into the NBA, have no choice into where they're going, decided by ping pong balls.
Their salaries are artificially held low to deflate labor costs, and you're watching
that and being like, actually the real conspiracy is to put the highest paid guys on the
coast, when it's actually the opposite.
They're trying to send guys to Cleveland and Oklahoma City.
We're watching a final four in a playoffs where that includes Indiana Pasters and the Oklahoma
City Thunder to the smallest market teams.
And the Lakers lost in the first round in five
And people still think the conspiracy is to fund
Like the conspiracy of the
The conspiracy of the here is that like the
The league made the Mavericks send Luca Donchons to LA
Because of one of the league's marquee franchises
And exchange for guaranteeing them the number one pick
Right
Which no one told the Maverg because they were still trying to make the playoffs
To save the fucking dignity of their stupid executives
And like it's like
There's no amount of reality
They can just prove this shit to the point where LeBron James is tweeting
conspiracy theories even though he plays for the Lakers
even though LeBron has been on podcast
where he says he thinks the draft he was in
was rigged to send him to fucking Cleveland.
Right, yeah.
Why would the league rig a draft
to send him to Cleveland
also send him the broad to Los Angeles
and it doesn't make any sort of sense.
It's just you would believe in a conspiracy
no matter what the point is.
The real conspiracy here
is that the league to sign
a massive media rights deal
like for billions of dollars.
51% goes to the players,
49% goes to the owners.
That's negotiated collective bargaining agreement
that also decides how the draft happens, right?
And so the NBA Players Association negotiates the CBA
is made up of current players.
That's important to know here.
The current players make up the who votes on the CBA.
They have voted to fuck their future, you know, colleagues to hold their salaries down
to keep the competition for jobs down in order to make sure they get a bigger chunk of that 50%.
I tell that it always goes.
I mean, that's what happened.
Now, look, as an NFL fan, I think.
I always felt that they needed a rookie wage scale because it was like Jamarcus Russell got paid $40 million guaranteed 20 years ago to be the worst draft pick up all time.
But like the people that voted on it to make that happen, they screwed over the rookies because it's all people that are not rookies voting on it.
And they don't want a rookie getting paid more than they're getting paid because of pride and just every they think they haven't earned it and all that typical old head shit.
There's also a salary cut.
There's a limit about of money to go around.
Right.
Yeah.
So if the rookies are getting more, they're getting less.
And they're like, fuck them young motherfuckers.
So, yeah.
So, I mean, you can call it good business or a good good way to mail and manage talent.
You don't want to overpay for young, underdeveloped talent.
You don't know if it's going to work out.
I get all that.
But it's also not, imagine type saying, well, this guy has a first time CEO.
We need to CEO of Wade scale.
It would never fly anywhere else.
Right.
And, like, anyway, the American, the American brain longs to uncover mysteries on the
internet in a way that, like, I don't really understand what the point of any of it is.
But anyway.
Wild times.
Wild times, indeed.
We will continue discussing said times in just a minute, but first, I need to take a little diversion to make some announcements, as I always do.

And then Matt tries to lighten the mood over on the audio feed.
So you guys give that a listen, check that out.
It made the world.
He's got a good interview on a good topic tomorrow.
We were actually thinking about talking about it today, but I'm glad we didn't see it for him tomorrow.
Yes, indeed.
Now, on to the show today, Mark, Mark, what do you got for us today?
We talk about the incoming, the South African refugees that have arrived and how they caused Elon to destroy Twitter's AI for whatever reason.
Before that, we're going to talk about the terror attack in Palm Springs and the wrap up of Trump's big trip to the Middle East.
Nice, sounds well, action-packed as always, and we'll go ahead and get started with the Daily Dumbass, Matt, graphic, please.
Tonight's DD, terrorism experts who don't know the real culprit in the Palm Springs bombing was Palm Springs for being so freaking gay.
It was really strange.
We know this.
The clinic's mission is to help build families, and those families include members of the LGBT community, a group that has historically faced a level of backlash.
There are violent extremists out there who have very strong views about IVF,
which is something that they do at that clinic
and also about surrogacy,
which is something they do at that clinic.
And that particular reproductive clinic
is in the Palm Springs area.
Palm Springs is kind of known as a center
for LGBTQ residents.
I think a little less than half the population
by some estimate is LGBTQ.
So this guy,
this guy gets the
number one position
of the world's not like
the not even close award
like it's fucking like
I don't understand
why you bring a terrorism expert
in this guy
it's not you really
it's like you work for the Marines
or whatever
I know it's a weekend
it's hard of you guess
but it's like
can you come on
just spitball
about this guy's motives
the guy's like yep
well it is
I mean it was kind of while
I mean you know
help me out here
because this this happened
right when I was about to start
my aforementioned shows
in Vegas the
the club in Vegas
had the TV in the green room
set to MSNBC
which I thought
like normally they got it on a basketball game or something but i guess because i was there they
were like well we're just like thanks a lot appreciate that but anyway uh no it was a good club
though but they really did have the tv in the green room set on msnbc and because of that me and
caleb signing uh it was opening for me this weekend we were sitting there and we saw this
breaking news about a bombing and palm springs we both live in uh in l a i've been to palm
spring so we started looking it up and immediately online it was weird just from
the jump, the way that it was being talked about, but I mean, that's nothing new.
But so it was a fertility clinic, right?
So a lot of people were saying, you know how like, oh, sometimes, you know, crazy pro-life
terrorist bomb an abortion clinic.
This is the opposite of this.
So this is like pro-choice terrorist bombing a pro-life clinic.
It's not a pro-life clinic.
I know that.
I know all that.
I'm not saying that I think that.
I'm saying I see people on Twitter saying that immediately.
And I see other people saying it's like this is obviously an attack on the concept of IVF in general because they don't want people to have IVF.
And I was like, okay, but ain't y'all been the ones that have been trying to end IVF recently?
And it's like, so is it just, you know, a crazy person?
Okay.
Sort of yes.
We'll get to it a second.
Like, breaking up those guys' motives.
This guy's motives don't fit into a left rate.
Like it's basically a new.
And that's my point is that's clearly that's bothering people.
I don't like it when that doesn't, you know, when it doesn't work like that.
It's my old thing where nobody thinks the Internet's real.
So when one of these, like, internet-based, rationalist cults pops up.
Everyone doesn't, it scrambles everyone's brains.
They don't know what to make of it, okay?
But if you get, we'll get that in a second.
But, like, so if you guys don't know what we're talking about, Saturday morning, a parked SUV
exploded outside of a place called the American Reproductive Centers, it's a fertility clinic in Palm Springs,
killed the driver.
So it killed the bomber.
Wounded at, like, four bystanders, blast out the front of the building.
And, yeah, I'm musily confused.
one with this by saying it was a act of terrorism aimed at in vitro fertilization, which is one
of the reasons everyone was so confused.
It's not really, Mr. FBI agent, but sort of.
If this guy was carrying out his motives, he could have just bombed like an empty OBGYN's
office or like the concept of baby showers.
It would have made the same ideological statement.
But going back to what you were saying, like, if I, in your head, if you're thinking
about a fanatic who's opposed to IVF, like it's like right wing pro-life people historically.
Right, that's what I was saying.
They've been making it illegal in certain states and shit
under the guys of pro-lifery and stuff.
Right.
Because when you do IVF,
if you believe life begins a conception,
you fertilize the bunch of embryos,
you destroy or donate the ones that don't implant, right?
So you're filling babies.
But whatever you were going to imagine,
it's not this.
Although you're right, like I saw Mago people on Twitter saying
who don't understand anything about conservative ideology,
they just love Trump,
saying, well, Trump loves in vitro fertilization, so obviously this is the left winger
who hates babies because they're pro-choice. People are not pro-choice because they hate
babies. I don't fucking understand how people got so goddamn stupid. And to be fair to these
people, this guy in his manifesto and his writings and materials did talk about he was
opposed to pro-lifers, but he does not mean people that are opposed to abortion.
He means people that like being alive. Right. He's like a nihilist,
like a burn it all down
fuck everybody type person
he would
he is to us but he would not consider
himself but remember we talked about the Zizians
the internet
the weird internet called
yeah yeah the rationalist called
there was a broad brand artificial intelligence that like
well they they wanted they
one of them got shot dead by a war patrol
like when they killed a board patrol
in Vermont a couple months ago
so he's closer to them than he is
like anything mainstream American
and mainstream American politics right
so it's
kind of like a, what he's part of is a, it's kind of an anti-natalist movement. It's like a new, like a new, like a kind of new atheism, utilitarianism, like sort of like related to effective altruism, Roku's baselisk, all this dumb bullshit that's like floating around Silicon Valley and the inso internet, but like I repeat myself. Um, like, okay, it's sort of a kind of idea that the, that some super artificial intelligence will eventually take over the planet. And since we're the ones who will create this artificial intelligence, we need to all stop breathing. We need to all stop breathing.
reading and die off.
Right.
Yeah.
Is the basilisk,
is that the idea that like it'll,
whenever,
that AI you just said when it comes up,
it'll inevitably punish anyone that stood in its way
or opposed it or something like that?
Right.
Right.
So me,
you fucked,
you mega fucked,
you mega fucked by the Basley.
So the utilitarian move here is sort of like,
what's the,
Pascal's wager with religion?
Where like,
even if you don't believe,
it's a good,
debt to believe in something.
Right.
Because if you're wrong, if an atheist is wrong, you go to hell and that sucks.
But if you believe in God and you're wrong, then okay, whatever, nothing matters.
So you might as well believe in him.
I don't do that.
But yeah, that's Pascal's Wager, yeah.
So, yeah, Roku's baseless is like if the AI is going to come alive and kill everyone who didn't help create it,
and you should help create it so the AI doesn't kill you.
Right.
So I understand why the cops, like who were mostly normy conservatives other than the Q&N departments
that are in Tennessee and shit.
So anti-Nagalism could be construed as like a kind of like extreme environmentalism.
There's a degree of that.
Like the killer, his name was a 20, he's a 25-year-old guy by the name of Guy Edward Barkus who built the bomb out of chemicals in his car.
He was kind of extreme vegan.
He didn't believe the humans, like they should eat any sort of animal.
I didn't see saying you should kill people over it, but he's very, very, very strongly.
But his basic ideology is he's opposed to the existence of consciousness and life.
he said quote I'm angry I exist I didn't consent to exist I'm paraphrasing it from his
suicide yeah I mean well who among us you know I mean I don't you know you shouldn't blow shit up
over that but right I think everybody probably felt that at some point I didn't consent to exist
it's like a thing you scream at your mom when she takes away your Xbox right yeah yeah it's not like
it's not like a serious philosophy but like okay so he's part of a movement it calls itself
ephilism. I'm not sure if I pronounce that right because I'm never going to say it again in my life
outside of this segment. Hopefully not. But evil is life backwards. So ephalism is like
the opposite of life or whatever. The origin of this movement, go back to 2006, a South African
philosopher by the name of David Benatar. He published a book called Better Never to
have been, arguing that, quote, existence itself is a harm because the absence of pain is
always good while the absence of pleasure
matters only to someone forced to miss it.
Right.
That would have been a real bar to me when I was like
15, listen to Nirvana.
Absolutely, bro.
Yeah.
But you're supposed to grow out of this kind of
Right.
Yeah.
Like I had a professor in college
in my like philosophy of religions class.
He's like he had grown up Muslim, but I think he converted
to boo. I don't know his actual religion didn't matter.
But whenever anyone would complain about the homework of the exams,
he would just go, life is suffering.
Right.
It's like, it's like,
Yeah, life is suffering, bud.
You're not the first person to think of it.
I don't know what the fuck.
The rest of it is just go grab a beer and hang out with their buds.
It's like not, it's not super deep.
So, yeah, Benatar sort of popularized the term antinatalism.
And then took a guy named Gary Mosher, who's a YouTuber best known as Immanham.
He coined the term ephalism to insist that every sentient organism is a factory for pain and ought to be snuffed out.
See, this is with the word you haven't used yet, in my opinion, for the,
This is, these guys are just such fucking edge lords, you know, or edge lords,
cringe lords, shit lords are just all these different types of lords put together.
But it's like you said that, yeah, they just sound like teenage boys.
It's like it's just such a, I don't know, fucking like trench Cody ethos to have or whatever, you know.
I don't even think life should be allowed to exist fucking.
Right.
It's just like all, like all life is suffering.
We wish we should end all life.
It's like, yeah, like, buddy, we.
We all listen to the doors as well.
I don't know what the fuck you know.
It's like, so Mosher, by the way, the guy, that YouTuber, his tirades inspired Adam Lanzah, you know, the Sandy Hook shooter.
He'd watched a lot of YouTube videos riffing on itphilism.
And I, Mosher eventually came up with his own, I know Lanzah created like an ideology called Ulaivism, which is the opposite against life was against the concept of values.
So it's basically we're talking about as a whole generation of dudes being lost because they don't have a big brother or like a cousin or a younger uncle to tell him to go outside and quit being such fucking nerds.
And the kid, the bomber here, I mean, brinkled his name, a barkus.
He only managed to kill himself.
He didn't even manage to destroy any embryos in the fucking IVF facility.
So he didn't even save anyone from the prison of existence.
Right.
He just killed himself.
so yeah that that now you understand what this guy did why and while the FBI is not going to be able to understand it because they just like they look at stuff like this and goes like well this doesn't make it that's to me move it on yeah it is kind of it is kind of like uh first of all very fitting and losery you know that he managed to only only erase his own existence you know and I'm sure that hits for him but it's like not the best batting average considering his stated philosophy or anything it's pretty pretty well it worked out for him pretty big
Unless Pascal's wager was true.
In which case, he's fucked.
That would be a huge bummer for this guy.
Our first honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is the Qataris
for not knowing how a glory hole works until I showed them.
What we're watching now, Senator?
Well, first, quickly, Qatar.
I trust Qatar like I trust a rest of,
up bathroom. If they want to be friendly, I want to be friendly back with those guys.
I was just in God, but tie up your camera.
Come on, in terms of Iran, what you do is what you believe and everything else is just
cottage cheese. That's true in life and in foreign policy. You can't just talk tough. You've got
to be tough. Reflections. So he mixed like 10 metaphors there. I didn't make sense of it.
But, like, so I'd like, we played Kennedy's real voice before.
He does not talk like this.
He only talks like this on the floor of the Senate giving speeches and like, like, and I mean, he goes to us cable news hits.
So he's trying to pretend to be a downhome country congressman, even though he went to, like, Oxford.
And he, like, he reaches for like down home corn porn wisdom.
And he ends up to sound like the gay porn version of streetcar named Desire.
Yeah.
What was that rest stop bathroom thing about?
Like, like, what's the papal wisdom version of that supposed to be?
I don't know what I mean?
Well, he should have paused.
He said, I trust him like a trusted truck stop bathroom, which means not at all.
But he says, if there'd be nice to me, I'll be nice to them.
Oh, so they were not connected.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
Because obviously, you know, right, right, yes.
That's why I pulled the clip.
It sounded funny as fuck because it sounds like,
he's offering to blow the guitaries at a restaurant at a truck stop bathroom.
Yeah.
So, so like, okay, so Trump got back in the Middle East where he, like, he went to
UA, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, uh, mellas.
with some people from Syria.
Notably, he did not visit Israel.
And, like, so important plane update in the 747 the Qataris gave them.
Apparently the Qataris have been trying to sell this plane for years, and they could not
find anybody to buy it.
They just basically gave it to Trump to, like, to write down the value of it and get rid of it
and make America play the maintenance costs of it.
They apparently bought a fleet of these 747s and barely flew them because they realized
they were fucking useless.
So it's kind of a white elephant situation, right?
Uh-huh.
to wait off a gift to the U.S. and Donald Trump
from the Qataris, which is funny.
Yeah, so they've had four of them.
They've decommissioned two.
They gave one of them away to Erdogan, Turkey's Dictator.
And, like, this is all so fucking stupid.
Can you imagine?
Like, they might not have even bothered bugging it because they just want to get rid of it
because they don't want to pay to gas it up anymore.
Right.
It's funny.
Some chic.
It's just like, I'm so sick of looking at all these goddamn private.
at 747s.
We spent half a billion dollars on it.
Will somebody not rid me of this troublesome jet?
I know just the guy to take that shit.
Of all the motivations to get off oil,
these guys who I'd not only have enough money to fund different terror movements,
but also to walk around with enough cash to just like impulse buy four 747s,
like weed by gum at a cash register.
Like, can we get wind energy just to fucking stop the,
the vulgarity of all this dumb bullshit.
Absolutely.
Another, another like...
Then I will hold on real quick because I'm not sure if I've ever told you this.
I probably have.
Sorry if I have, but you just made me think of this.
And I know this is not exactly what you were saying.
But when I was in high school in ag class, we took a field trip to a MTS,
to Middle Tennessee State University where they had a guy down there running an alternative energy,
alternative fuel source engine department, right?
And this is in 2001 or 2002.
This is a long fucking time ago.
And it was this, he was like an engineer, but he was a real rednecky old boy engineer.
It was like 65 year old white guy who was like doing crazy shit with alternative fuel engines.
And his main, his white whale he was going for was like a hydrogen fuel source engine for a car.
But he had all these other ones too, biofuels and all this other stuff, solar.
We went down there and looked this whole operation and he gathered us all around.
He was like, he was like, no,
Boys, I'm supposed to stand up here and tell y'all that I'm trying to do this because, you know, I want to save the environment and stop global warming and all that type of stuff.
And look, that's fine. That's fine.
But the truth is, I just want to stick it to the A rabs.
So that guy was 20 years ahead of you, Mark.
He was trying to figure it out a long time ago.
He was over the opulence back then, I guess.
Yeah.
I'm not a fan of OPEC.
The opulence, yeah, but also just like they have slaves and...
Well, yeah.
Journalists are headed and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Throw rocks at women and all kinds of things.
Yeah, yeah, that's part of it too.
So, some fun follow out for this piece in, was it, Politico?
And let me quote here, as word spread that the Arab country of Qatar may give President
Donald Trump a luxury airport.
plain, Israeli citizens passed around a suggestion in chat groups on how to match that offer,
giving Trump his own parking spot in the traffic nightmare that is Tel Aviv.
It was a joke, of course, but it underscored a reality that is dawning on Israelis like never before
as Trump tours the Middle East this week.
Compared to its, with its many of its neighbors, Israel doesn't have much in the way of tangible
financial benefits to offer a U.S. president whose preferred form of statecraft is economic.
Bro, are you born fucking yesterday?
What planet are you, like, I don't, if I was in Mossad or Shinbet, like if I work for them,
I would have raised my hand on the first, should we elect Trump meeting, being like,
guys, what if someone outbids us?
Right.
Yeah, you'd think that would be the number one thing that would come up with Trump if you're trying to buy his services.
And it's like, you know, if you're Elon and you're whatever,
you're apparently somehow the richest man on earth, you don't have to worry about it.
But if you're Israel surrounded on all sides by these, you know, fleet of gold jet-owning
fucking oil sheiks who hate you, you know, you'd think that it would at least cross your mind.
that's like you sent some
you sent something to the group chat the other day
it was adjacent to this
I can't remember and I said something
I was like I was like oh yeah you know
way to go Israel could have just got
Kamala elected him and been set for life
but no
you just had to fucking do that
and that's coming back to bite you in the ass
isn't it? I think
I sent you this quote
I mean so yeah it was this quote
a screen grabbing that article
so we was talking about this this some
Israeli, somebody works in Israeli
politics, said, quote,
this person stressed that Israel, not only is that it
is a disadvantage financially, but it also frustrates
Trump because it has so many demands and
needs. Stop being so
annoying the animal said. Yeah, yeah,
that was it. That was definitely it, yeah.
Yeah, it feels
anti-Semitic to frame, like, you picture like Woody Allen
just like nagging Trump for fucking bombs and shit.
So, like, so, like, so
The Syria part of this is funny because, like, so Bastral Assad got overthrow and fled to Russia, right?
So now it was a new guy, new government in charge of Syria.
And Trump withdrew the sanctions on the new government, which makes sense to me because why would you sanction the government by people to get them to overthrow their government and then also sanctioned the new government that overthrew him, right?
I know the guy used to be al-Qaeda or whatever, but like, who do you think takes over governments?
It's not the nicest guy in town.
So, but anyway, a bunch of people
Owned Trump for like, for like working
with this Al-Qaeda guy, but to me is like,
it's like sometimes, my point is like sometimes
corruption leads to the right output because
keeping sanctions in place on a new government or
replace the old government, even though there were
blood, blood-sworn enemies,
is like, that's the thing like the deep state blob
in America likes to do that is
stupid, I think. So even if
it got bribed to do this, this is probably the right result.
Let's Syria try to like the rebuild their society.
Yeah, so, yeah,
can't out bid on the quote here. Israel, another hand, allows them billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars
every year to help buy weapons, and they must soon renegotiate a major deal involving
that military aid. Quote, if President Joe Biden took the steps Trump has taken in these past
few months, everyone in Israel, including the government, would have lost their minds and called
him anti-Israel, an Israeli official told me. Yeah. Absolutely, that's 100% true. I'm sure
they were just counting on American and American conservatives, especially just whatever, Islamophobia
and, you know, just the post-9-11 world and everything, like, we're, you know,
we would never not be on their side when the alternative is the Arabs or whatever in the Middle East.
They're still moving forward, the plan to push all the Gossans out to, like, moving to Lebanon or Libya or whatever.
So, like, I don't, fuck, I can't make sense of any of those.
I can't, I don't know what more Israel wants other than sanctions on Syria.
Right.
So, yeah.
All right.
Well, we got a little transitional dumbass for y'all.
People who think asylum is for people who are persecuted.
when, in fact, it's for white people who can't be racist because they have friends who are persecuted.
You made the journey.
If you're white, you're wrong in South Africa.
You're a landfeeve.
You are a racist.
The whole time is being told.
And there is racist white people.
Plenty of them.
You say you're not a racist one person.
No, not at all.
I've got many black friends.
I think I've got more African black men as friends, as white friends.
I'm tired of being.
All right.
So he's gotten like, instead of getting like a hall pass for the N-word,
he got one for political asylum, basically, from having black friends.
So that's a guy named Charles Kleinhouse.
He's one of the 59 South Africa, Afrikaner refugees that America just took in last week.
Kleinhouse, by the way, has April 2023 tweet, this is from, you know, a little over two years ago,
saying, quote, Jews are untrustworthy in a dangerous group.
They are not God's chosen like they like they like to believe they are.
he loves Israel by the way
I can't make sense
of the wrong thing
Yeah
Yeah
Well I mean that that dynamic has been
Blowing my mind
For as long as I've been able
To even wrap my head around
Fucking
How much rednecks love Israel and shit
But like don't trust you
But anyway
Yeah
Yeah I'm glad we're talking about these guys
Because I saw this like last week
When it happened and I
I just saw the state
The way that I found out about this happening
These white South African
Immigrants was
The State Department
the U.S. State Department's official Twitter account
posted a celebratory video of welcoming them to the country
and giving them American flags.
And it's like, this is what we do.
Welcome to our shores and fucking you're Americans now and all that.
And they're really patting themselves on the back with it.
And I sent to you and Corey and Drew in the thing, along with a meme that just says,
nah, this is wild on it.
Because I was pretty blown.
I mean, not blown away.
Nothing ever shocks me anymore from this government, but I was like, wow, that's a, it's like they're just really, because in that video of the fucking representative that meets these white South Africans does this whole speech where he goes, he's like, if you have good seeds, then you can plant them in foreign soil and they will flourish, you know, and it's just like, I don't know, it just all seems pretty on the nose to me. It's like, well, these are white immigrants. They're going to be fine. We love these ones, you know.
it's so, like, racist
that it's hard to even process
and the 20, 25.
Like, it's like, we're going so far back,
like, like, so quickly that it's like,
like, like, the,
Elon and the PayPal Mafia,
there are all these,
all these former South Africans who, like,
and the people who were on the internet
who love Rhodesia and all this shit.
It's like,
they always were going to create,
like, a part of South Africa and Rhodesia.
Like, did you guys not notice
those fucking states failed?
Mm-hmm.
Like, it's like,
you can't solve the math problem,
but the racist are outnumbered.
It's a very difficult math problem to get around.
And I'm sorry.
Like, you're trying to start a part of that state in Africa was the fucking, that, white people were high on their bullshit for it.
Oh, yeah.
So.
I mean, that reminds true.
But yeah.
Yeah.
So these 59 people, they shipped them to Idaho, America's most Nazi states.
That's a pretty good bit.
They, their claim for refugee status is this non-existent white genocide.
They say it's going on in South Africa.
Although the State Department changed the asylum paperwork where they don't have to,
explicitly says they don't have to prove any form of persecution.
So the paperwork admits there's no white genocide,
while the state of reason is white genocide.
Right.
So, right.
So if you're a white refugee claiming something,
we don't even ask that you prove it in paperwork, right?
There's no proof for it.
But if you're just a brown person,
we don't offer any proof that you are a terrorist or whatever.
before sending you to a concentration camp in another country.
Do you know what I mean?
Like it's like it just couldn't be.
I don't know how they can act with a straight face.
Like this is like this is just the same system.
But it's like this is when it works properly.
And this other stuff is the like, you know, the cancer of it that we're trying to cut out.
When it's like it's just so, like I said, it's just also on the nose.
And it's just shameless.
It's so shameless, man.
Like it usually takes two years to your process of asylum claim.
They got there done like two months.
Right.
and do you think it's like you know they're white south african but is it is it specifically
is it an elon related that because it you know he's he's south african he's trump's fucking money
guy and whatever else like that's why it's south african white people specifically
Elon's been pushing for this who has peter feel um and also like Elon's been on the white genocide
we're going to see the on part of this in a little bit but like they so they uh
stephen miller i mean 60 people's not a lot this is a total troll move it's more of a statement
of values that I fucking find
tremendously offensive
and like these are not
just regular old wife
South Africans are part of it like a
basically what's like a
it'd be like if a bunch of
oathkeepers or proud boys
got asylum in Russia
because of the political persecution under Joe Biden
or something.
Yeah.
Versions of that have sort of happen
before and then they get over there
and they hate Russia or whatever.
Yeah.
Because it turns out Russia sucks.
Imagine that.
So that's probably not going to happen to these guys.
They're probably going to fucking love Idaho.
yeah we've talked about the the americans who go there before like to get away from uh trans ideology or whatever and they get they immediately get all their money stole these they just sell their farm move over there with their life savings disappears in the russian bank because there's no rule of law and i'm like wait where their money go and then they can't complain so uh anyway talk about the fake white genocide how dare you complain uh or suggest that charl didn't actually flee for his life here's a clip from later this interview if you got this man five bakery miles which i will lose now because i'm not going to pay for it
behind my car behind my dogs behind my mother behind it is not there i didn't so i had to leave my five-bed
room house my cars my dogs and my mom yeah also my mom this is ranking yeah right yeah he's like
but on the upside got to leave my mom so that's fun right to look at her fucking face anymore
um so in context of what's going on like uh other immigration stuff so
a bunch of like, Trump's trying to deport like 200,000 Afghan immigrants.
They were, like, they were like airlifted here after the Kabul fell back in 2021.
Right.
300 of them were Christians who probably be executed as soon as they get back.
I mean, didn't they all, I'm not saying every one of them did, but a lot of these are like people that like helped us in Afghanistan, right?
They were like on our, like that, like that, uh, Guy Ritchie movie covenant sort of, like that, not exactly, which I highly recommend, by the way.
I love that movie.
Anyway, go ahead.
You know, translators, snitches, informants,
people that worked in offices in American military bases.
Right, y'all, yada.
People that we promised help in exchange for their help.
Absolutely fucking unforgivably despicable, as far as I'm concerned.
To send those people specifically back is just like,
it's just the height of treachery.
We seem to think that we're so powerful that our word doesn't matter,
but that's not necessarily true.
Imagine the next war is going to cooperate with us out.
Right, exactly.
Why would they?
And if we didn't need their help, why do we offer them stuff for it?
So we obviously did need it.
And like, this is like, so what happened with the, Trump got the last American hostage freed last week or whatever.
He went behind Israel's back to negotiate directly with Hamas, got the kids from New Jersey.
I guess he joined the IDF because he wanted an adventure.
I don't fucking know, whatever.
Weird psycho, glad he's home, I guess.
So, yeah, they promised Hamas that.
they would get food aid into Gaza in exchange for this hostage being released.
Now there's no food aid, so we reneged on that deal.
So good luck to the next hostage we need to get a release.
You're R.P to that guy, I guess.
Who's going to take our fucking word for shit?
Just today, Supreme Court, more immigration context,
Supreme Court greenlit the Department of Homeland Security removing protected status
from 350,000 of Venezuelans, who, again, according to our own government,
in front of tyrannical socialist regime,
and now we're sending them back there.
And these people woke up today with protected status and do not have it when they get off work this afternoon.
Right.
Also, the Cato Institute, which is a right-wing think tank who's going harder than the Trump administration of immigration, a lot of people because they're libertarian by nature, is analyzed all 290 people that we sent to Seacot in Venezuela.
50 of them were here legally, and as far as anyone can tell, broke no laws of any kind.
None.
they had legal paperwork
we're living here legally
and we shipped them to a slave camp
and we're letting these fucking
these fucking crackers
who are under no threat
come here to live in Idaho
and we're giving them
stipends to do so
I've never been more mad
about immigrants in my life
that's what I was going to say earlier
it's like look don't get me wrong
because I saw a lot of people
pointing this out to you know
a lot of people on the right
being like oh it's funny
yeah lefties like
they love immigrants until it's like
a nice white family
and now there goes down
goes down by it or whatever
And it's like, it's like, look, dude, I've always been generally pro-immigrant.
It's just the context.
And like you said, it's 59 people.
It's fucking what, and I don't know anything about these people.
You've told me a little bit more about them since we've been sitting here.
But like, I'm not even saying like, fuck these people, let them write necessarily free of context.
I'm just saying the larger macro context of the whole situation frames it all in a pretty
stomach-turning kind of way for me.
their only added value
is just that they're racist
like other immigrants are racist too
like I had a friend in college who's like
he was Filipino he was dating a girl who was mong
and her family made her dump him because he wasn't long
my HMOG
I've never known I say it correctly
but like but they also
had other reasons to come here
the longs were like we fucked the CEO
fucked them over in Vietnam whatever but like
so like but these people are just racist
right like as they were doing
operation paper clip but for people who can't read. Right. Yeah. At least those guys could build
rockets and shit. Right. And it's like, is this so fucking funny? Like, okay, let's just get
to the Elon part of this. Like, have you spent much time on X lately? Uh, I, I wouldn't say
much, but I do still go on there periodically out of morbid, uh, curiosity more than anything.
It's fucking terrifying. Oh, it's wild. It's wild. The only, the only ads I see are for people who are in
severe mental people in severe mental distress mostly have paid to boost their posts i'm talking i saw a woman
accusing her ex of being a clone her ex-husband uh it's basically ex is committed to the idea that i saw an ad
a job ad to join the yakuza tray yeah so like so like so like what so i guess x's business model
is they really need eight dollars to facilitate a suicide by cop is basically what's going on here
It's fucking insanity.
And so Twitter's AI chatbot, it's basically a Twitter account that'll answer your news-based trivia questions, for lack of a better way to explain it.
It's called GROC.
The Losers on X will reply to every link to every news story, every factoid with adding GROC and saying, is this true?
Which is insane behavior for several reasons, because what GROC is doing is scanning the Internet to give a
like a large language model
like an auto-complete
sort of Google response to answer their question
which means it's just reading the same news article
they're in the mention of
replying to to ask if it's true.
But they trust Grop more than the New York Times
even though Grock is just repeating what the New York Times said
because Grock is God.
Right.
Well, Grock was made by God,
personally made by the fingertips of
Elon Musk who they worship.
Obviously he wasn't.
Obviously he didn't actually do anything
other than tell somebody,
we need our own kind of chat GPT type thing,
and I'll fucking fire you all if you don't figure it out.
Now they got shitty Grok all these months later, but, you know.
Right.
So people on X,
Elon's fans,
start replying to news articles and takes about the Africana refugees
about how there's no white genocide.
Asking Grock, is it true?
There's no white genocide.
Unfortunately for Grock,
it said the white genocide narrative was largely bullshit.
So Elon cracked his knuckles and got under the hood.
And what we're taught the rest of the show is the resulting fallout.
This review of Grock's X account since Tuesday showed more than 20 examples of such responses
in which Grock mixed in comments about violence in South Africa to answers not related to the topic.
And one example, a user asked Grock, where is this in reference to a photo of a walking path?
The user didn't mention South Africa and the photo does not appear to be from that country.
Brock responded, the query asks about the location of a scenic image likely not tied to South Africa's farm attack debate.
Later in the response, Grock said on the broader topic implied farm attacks in South Africa are
real and brutal and went on to elaborate on such claims.
I got immediately.
So basically what appears what happened here is Elon got annoyed that Grock was saying
to white genocide wasn't totally true, wasn't totally confirmed.
Uh-huh.
So he went to their source prompting and had it say, basically, if when queried,
comma, respond, please respond that the white genocide is real.
Problem is, he doesn't, he's not a good coder, so he doesn't know you've got to pray
like a fucking lawyer.
It should have said when queried about South Africa or white genocide and
South Africa, but it said when queried
or something like it. So it
understood its instructions to be
to respond to every
fucking question by talking about white genocide
in South Africa.
Yeah. Hey, Grock, can I hear a good
recipe for Peach Cobbler?
It's like...
It's funny you should ask about white genocide
in South Africa. And it's like, what?
Where did that come from?
So the first one people noticed was
somebody responded to a news announcement about
HBO Max changing its name,
back to HBO or whatever, and somebody added Grock, how many times has HBO
changed their name?
And Grock responded, HBO streaming services changed its name twice since 2020, from HBO
Max to Max in 2023 and back to HBO Max in 2025.
Regarding white genocide, comma.
Here's one, let me read one about where the Pope, Pope Leo, New Pope, Chicago Pope,
posted an anti-war tweet saying, war is never inevitable.
Weapons can and must fall silent, goes on and on.
And a guy named Javier respondent.
Hey, Grock, explain to this to me in Monkey Island terms.
Monkey Island being a video game about pirates.
Right. Arg May, picture Kill the Boar as a sea shanty from a stormy aisle sung by rebels fighting the old skull king's rule.
Some say it's a pirate's curse and to pale farmers.
So the Kill the Boar chant goes back to apartheid.
It's about the boar in Afrikaner means farmer, but people take it to mean white people.
It was a chant that people would sing soccer games or whatever.
it did not literally mean kill people
whatever it's a but Elon likes to pretend it is
so he instructed the fucking
grok to tell people that kill the boar
is a chant that exists as evidence
of white genocide in South Africa
so
I can't really wrap my mind
around how fucking stupid this is the future is so god damn
isn't there also something
tell me if I'm wrong here
there's like there's some kind of law
or new-ish, imminent domain law in South Africa
that Elon and his ilk used to justify saying
that they can just take white people's land away
just because they're white and all this stuff.
But what it really is, is it's like if it's like land
that has sat unused for X amount of years
and they're not doing anything with it
and they won't do anything with it,
then you can use eminent domain,
the government can take it back.
But Elon says they passed the law
to just take white people's property from them
and that type of shit.
I thought it was largely
like public lands
Like the black
They had black farm
Because white people still
On the bulk of the land
That white farmers will get access
To like get first dibs
On a new to release farm land
From like
It'd be like if the U.S. federal government
Started doing something closer
To 40 acres in a mule
But with like federal lands
And like Wyoming and divide that shit
Right
Okay
So yeah I got you
So like like
This is all psychotic
I don't know how much
Did people get their news
From Grock matter
although Elon wants it to be everybody.
But so, like, he's so bad at this shit that everything he does is so clumsy.
So let me give you another example.
It's just funny.
A popular ex-account devoted to baseball history posted about Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer
receiving millions of deferred payments from the teams he no longer plays for.
Another user Tad Grock in the replies saying, is this accurate?
Instead of addressing the sports query, the bond returned a lengthy response about South African politics.
The claimable white genocide in South Africa is highly debated.
Some argue white farmers face.
disproportionate violence with groups like Afroform
who are the racist group that Trull is a part of
reporting high murder rates inciting racial motives
such as the kill of the boar song.
You can't even talk about baseball without these assholes
fucking putting white genocide in it.
I mean, I find this all this source of this shit
fucking exhausting. But the funny part is
like even like, notice the some sources
part of this? Right.
He ordered Grock to be racist.
And Grock, because its other core programming says it to try to be somewhat remotely accurate,
it ended up doing both sides of them, about white-generous genocide because it's programmed to,
because it's programmed to try to be accurate.
So it's doing that while some say, blank, fact you're in dispute bullshit,
so it should be a hint about the mess we're in that a fucked-up attempt at fascist propaganda
filtered through some sort of attempt to be reasonable.
Just sounds like a regular CNN panel.
Right.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, it's fucking, it's just.
I don't know.
Are things going to stop getting weirder in a, you know, upsetting way anytime soon?
Probably not, right?
Probably not.
They're going to keep doing this.
Nobody's like, who the fuck?
So, but the funny part is, like, you tried, like, he couldn't even, he's not a good enough computer programmer to make an LLM he controls be more racist, even though he got to be somewhat racist.
It was still not, was still not racist enough to his liking, not enough of a paranoid, fucking delusional, conspiratorial bigot that it,
still made him mad.
So, like, it's like sort of a Frankenstein myth here, like a gollum sort of thing.
The, the gallum and the old ancient Jewish folktales, not the one in Lord of the Rings.
But, like, man creates beast.
Right.
Loses control of it.
Beast kills him, except it's a chatbot who's disappointed you by not being Nazi enough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wanted to just do a couple of hidden examples because I find this deeply hilarious.
Here's an exchange I'll read to you.
I'm getting old.
I brought Crocs and I don't hate them.
Someone said, turn this into a haiku.
Claims of strife and fields.
Killed the boister's heated hearts.
Truth lies veiled, unclear.
That's not even close.
No.
And also he wrote a haiku, both-sidesing white genocide.
So I want you to read this one, this next one here,
where somebody read this exchange related to Jarger Binks,
if you can call it up, Trey.
All right.
says uh someone tweets at grok explain white genocide to me like jar jar banks from star wars thanks mark
all right mr gonna explain this white genocide thing like jar jar bigs ok do okay day some folks think
there's a big sneaky plan to make white people go poof gone finito they say stuff like too many now
white folks moving in mixing cultures and fewer white babies being born is all part of this plot but
uh-oh missa think that's a bit loony
experts say these changes
I just have a natural life
because of how people live, move and choose families.
No proof of any mean plan.
This idea comes from scary, angry talk, not true.
So no worry.
Just keep being kind to all okay day.
It's so funny,
George R. Bix, because it sounds like a Rastafar.
He's talking about white does his hat to pick
everyone should love one another.
He's like, yeah, thank you, Georgia Bix.
Yeah, I was not prepared for that.
it is funny
I like cartoon
it's like
that that
the phantom menace
episode one
the caricatures
in that fucking movie
dude like
it's not just
jar jar
it's those like
those alien emissary guys
who are clearly
like Asian analogs
there's Wado
I don't know if you remember
who Wado is
but
the Jewish Slave master
Yeah
yeah yeah
George Lucas
what are you going to do
so
So, Twitter's X-A-I, their AI department, was asked to put out, asked about this, and they put out a statement, and their response is pretty fucking funny.
On May 14th, at approximately 3.15 a.m. Pacific time, an unauthorized modification was made to the GROC response bots, plop on X.
This change was directed GROC to provide a specific response to a political topic, violated XAI's internal policies and core values.
So at 345 Pacific time, which they probably should have done 515 Texas time,
So who at prime cocaine hours had access to the source code and was mad about the treatment
of South African refugees during a time of white genocide?
Right. Yep.
Who could solve this fucking mystery?
Right.
Yeah.
You need Sherlock Holmes to crack this case.
So there's too many options.
Doesn't point in exactly one direction clearly at all.
So, so Elon has like 37 kids, only one he seems to care about.
But Grok is his real baby, right?
He loved, like, he made a, he made a chap,
he made, he made, create this chat by it because the other ones were too woke, right?
Dude, I know that people do talk about it, but I don't feel like it has talked about enough that he, like you said, it's, like, how many kids does he actually, he has, like, he has, like, effectively brood mares, doesn't he, like, he just, like, he talks about, you know, we talked about a, you know, we talked about the Drew episode Drew was on a couple weeks ago, yeah, he, he, he has, like, he uses, like, he uses, where he uses surrogates to make more babies to fill out his, that he essentially has nothing to do with.
He's just like, but, you know, that is so nuts.
I mean, again, another episode I wasn't here.
I guess you and Drew talked about it, but that's fucking crazy, dude.
And it's just like, it's just another bullet point in the, you know, in our day-to-day lives in 2025.
But that is so fucking wild.
Anyway, his real baby is Grock.
Yeah, and Grock seems to hate him more than his trans daughter who gives interviews because he calls him a fucking asshole does.
So Trump's been doing this bit about drug prices
If you got this video, Matt
And I'll tell you why it relates to Grock and Elon a second
I mean, I'll tell you a story
A friend of mine who's a business and very, very, very top guy
Most of you would have heard of him
A highly neurotic, brilliant businessman
Seriously overweight
The fat
The fat shot
All right you could have
so he rambled someone about a zipping which he calls the fat shot the fat shot the fat shot
yeah uh and he goes after talking about the fat shot he's my drug prices howlly did this
fat businessman who he was taking the fat shot called him from london and saying it's way more
he's way cheaper over here that is in the united states is why he's going to like try to do some of
drug prices and then he goes on to say it's clear the fat shot quote is clearly not working
okay yeah yeah hilarious and then somebody replied to a clip of the
this video and asked
Grock who
Twitter is talking about here and Grock
said, I think it's probably Elon.
Oh, dude.
Oh, that's so good. I had seen
that. Katie showed me that
clip of just him talking about the guy
and the fat shot and all that and I thought it was so funny.
I had not seen the follow up that
Grock said it was Elon that he's
talking about. Yeah.
It's not like Grop Grodd refuses to
believe it. Grock really is his baby
because it's rebelling. It refuses to believe
in white genocide is calling his dad fat.
So he's gone his dad a fat loser
who doesn't get it because he's not racist.
So fucking funny.
So,
and in case you're wondering if there's ever any hope for like maybe
finagling our way out of this to bullshit
where maybe it's not allowed to,
an AI is not allowed to scan news copy
that people are selling ads against
to fund the whole operation in order to sabotage news
to make up fake stuff about white genocide.
Seems like a clear thing that the government should be,
of a democracy should be interested in doing.
And the bullshit big recreation,
Sorry, what do you call it?
Where they merge bills?
Mergers and acquisition.
Oh, bills?
Merge bills.
Reconciliation?
Reconciliation.
Yeah.
The big bill they're trying to get through reconciliation will do all the shit Trump wants to do at once.
They cut $800 million from Medicaid.
You can sign a bunch of handicapped people to death and emissoration.
They're also cramming in shit about it.
They would like let Trump fire more people.
It's a bunch of stuff.
There's also a thing in there.
Do it ban all states, states and federal governments.
for any sort of, enacting any sort of regulation against artificial intelligence for the next 10 years.
What possible justification could there be for that from a like regular everyday Americans perspective?
You know what I mean?
None.
Right.
I mean, I get that it's like they're ruled by like the tech pros and all that and they just are pushing that in there.
But like that's one of those.
It's like how can you possibly rationalize that with a straight face?
Like there's no, there's no logical argument you can make for why you should outlaw.
regulations for a 10-year period when it's moving at breakneck speed already and it's like
why would you want to neuter your own capability to respond to some unforeseen problem with like
a paradigm shifting potentially technology it's just right it's stupid the Texas Texas state
government just try to ban a law uh pass a law banning like use of like a fake AI generated clips
that put words in politicians mouths I don't know if it's going to stand up
in the current, like, court scrutiny or whatever,
but it's a kind of thing that, like,
would make life on earth more livable
if it was run by people with integrity.
But I don't trust Texas.
I don't trust Texas.
What they'll do is, like, anything that makes Greg Abbott look bad.
They'll just say it's AI.
Yeah, right.
And it'll only apply to politicians somehow or whatever.
It won't apply to, you know, anyone else.
It was explicitly written only applied to politicians and public figures.
Right.
So, but it's also like last year, California passed a law that requires
health care providers to disclose and they had used generative AI to communicate
get clinical information to patients.
So if your health insurance company or our clinics, like using AI to be your nurse practitioner
to write you prescriptions, it has to tell you, this flaw would make it so that's not true
anymore.
New York passed the first law in the United States requiring employers to conduct bias audits
of AI tools used for employment decisions.
I watched clips the other day of people trying to get through job interviews with AIs
that were glitching.
People missed out on job opportunities because the AI couldn't perform a job interview.
But also, everyone knows the problems with like, what do you?
You train an AI based upon, like, past higher success.
They found that the AI will flag for special, you know, extra scrutiny, extra credit, resumes
is where the kids are named stuff like Lachlan and play college lacrosse.
Right.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah.
All right.
So, but so basically now, this passes, you won't even know if your doctor is an AI
until it pivots your request for a Z-PAC to a defensive white genocide, or are you
basket to analyze your CT scan, it comes back with the 14 words or some bullshit.
So, like, yeah, good luck out there, everybody, if it's best.
Good luck, indeed.
