Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hello, Welcome to a brand new episode of Look Forward.
I'm your host, Jay. I'm here with my co host Brad.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
You know, at least Democrats get to have fun hearing
still with these idiot cabinet members. That's been kind of
the highlight this week is Christy Nome being unable to
say whether or not a pictures photoshop because if she does,
obviously that would upset dear leader who's off gallivanting in
the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
UH, teaching to say that it's photoshoped, refusing to look
at the image child like having to hold their head
and look, drag it off.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I can't see you. But good news. Trump is introducing
his new vernacular to UH to the head of the
UAE today, he's teaching them all about groceries. That that
old fashioned term.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
He well, he he said, recently he invented the word equalized,
which I thought was okay, hey, add.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
To the file.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Look, a lot of people don't know he's the guy
who came up with the show equalizer, Like it was him.
He was like, what if there was a guy who
equalized it? Like what does that word mean? He was like,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I just he also said this was very funny to
be as well. He was somehow he was talking about
like the upgrades that they're looking at making to like
the F thirty five, and he's saying that he's going
to recommend that they make it a non single engine
plane because he doesn't like single engines. Because of course,
he is the foremost expert on you know, fighter jets
and aviation and things like that, about anything.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, thanks for the consult.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Jay.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
No one has studied fighter planes more than our current president. Well,
I mean that's obviously true.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Do you know do you know how many engines his
new Katari plane?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
As I assume I was gonna say, it's more than one,
because he was like, I'll take the free gift. How
many engines does it have before?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Better? More than one?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Like I'm not like, yes, sir, it's not a prop plane,
you idiot. Yeah, Like it's a it's a hell of
a week, Like it's a it's a weird mixed bag
of I refuse to look at this image and uh,
we're doing we're picking up two hundred people in ice
raids in DC, right, Like it's it's that kind of week.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I will I will say in this kind of echoes
what I said last week as well, Like I I
do feel like as far as like new, new, horrendous
things happening, that they've that they've run out of steam
a little bit. Now I'm knocking on wood as I
say that, because I don't because watch tomorrow, we're gonna
introduce some absolute ridiculous thing that just kind of pops
in out of nowhere's and they'll do it at five
(03:00):
o'clock in the afternoon. But you know, like like they
don't have a lot of the same energy that they
had for the first hundred days to break as much
as possible in as fast to fashion as they possibly could.
Seems like they settle down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, now now you're in the now, you're in the duldrums.
I guess you could make the argument of like I mean, yes,
these are draconian laws, but like.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
My my analogy, my analogy is the first hundred days
were then like breaking all of the display cases in
the shop, and now they're trying to get the jewelry
before the police come and so that they can get
out before the cops come.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
To Yeah, because that those midterms are coming quick right,
quicker than you think, and once those races really kind
of start to pick up, all the Republicans have to
run on this ship and that, and that becomes really
hard because then you start to lose traction. And this
is something like in politics in general. You start to
lose traction because you can't get Republicans to vote for
(04:01):
terrible shit anymore because then they got to be like, well,
if I vote for it, that makes the news tomorrow,
and my opponent just beats me over the head on
the campaign trip like that's not good.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So they well, I got I I have. I have
good news for them, Jay, I don't. I have it
on good authority, and don't ask me how I know this,
But come around like August September next year, I have
it on good word that there's gonna be migrant caravans
moving up through Central America towards the southern border.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Every time, it's amazing, every single time, and then and
then like vaporware on a Microsoft, they disappear, like it's
it is really weird that people still buy this right,
like it's the disappearing migrant caravan.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Where these people are.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I have no idea and the they're going to come
and take all of your guns. And the second that
Democrats get in off as they stream about it, well,
we'll see.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well we'll have a story where they where we white
fighter reason that they could actually take all your guns.
We'll see about it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I can't wait that. That's probably my favorite story of
the week, like trying to warn you, like I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It isn't but also at the same time, like the
unintended consequences could be hilarious.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, all right, but we'll get there. We'll get there,
all right. So first up, let's jump right into it
with this story. The Democrats are doing what they do best,
fighting the progressive wing of their party. God damn it.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, So we found out that next year the DNC
has decided that they're going to have another vote to
re elect their vice chairs, David Hogg and Malcolm Kenyattah.
They are saying that because one of the losing candidates
(05:57):
made a challenge the committee just that the election was
not conducted properly, and so they're going to force these
guys to run for reelection. Maybe coincidentally, this comes right
after several weeks after David Hoggs said that he plans
on having the DNC fund primary challenges to sitting members
(06:20):
of Congress, which ruffled a lot of Democratic feathers the
wrong way, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Yeah, look, I don't have any I don't have any
problem with David Hoag's statement. I don't care that this
idea of like we're going to primary Democrats who aren't
on board for a progressive agenda to actually fight back
against the Trump administration seems like the most obvious thing
in the world to make. If you're mad about it,
(06:49):
maybe it's because you suck at this, and maybe you
should realize that why you're under the threat of being
primary is because you're trying to stay in the middle
in the middle of a fascist take over. That's not good.
We need people in office.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Or you're focused more on preserving your small grip on
whatever power you have as opposed to actually doing, you know,
making solutions and stuff like that. And the fucked up
part is that Kenyata is actually like catching astray here
pretty much because like I mean yeah, like like they're
they're doing it to get rid of to try to
get rid of, uh David Hogg, but they're making Kenyata
(07:26):
run again as well. And nobody's really talking about that
piece of it, because you know, they need to make
it look like it's fair quote unquote.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I hope do you think that Do you think they'll
win or no, you think they're out of there?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Oh, I think that they'll I think that part of
the party, apparrageic will fight very hard to try to
get in people who are quote unquote more moderate or
more deferential to the two incumbents essentially, which is fucked up.
Like like one of the things that was very cool
about having these two specifically because not Co came out
for those who don't know, ran into Pennsylvania Senate primary
(08:01):
where John Fetterman won. He was a Pennsylvania state delegate.
I do believe for some time. He's another young progressive
black by the way, as well. And these were two
good young voices to have in party leadership to hopefully
move the Democratic Party to being a more populist but
(08:23):
like not Donald Trump stole populus, but like actually listening
to people and actually putting up a fight and not
you know, not scraping their feet together and all that jazz.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
So yeah, it is, And look, I need people in
the Democratic Party as far as the politicians here. If
you have this much fire in your belly for this fight.
Why don't you have that for the actual fight that's
going on outside of your part.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Because because this is the fight that they think they
can win, and apparently they only want to make fight
the battles that they think they can win.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Right, Like it ironically, it's the it's the same, it's
the same poor logic of the extreme far left, Like voters,
we'll just yell and scream at Democrats, like, well, why
don't you yell at the guys who are actually doing
the fascism they're right down the road. Yeah, well we can't,
they'll beat us up. We're gonna just yell at you,
(09:18):
guys who believe in freedom and all this other stuff.
We know that, but it's better to yell at you
because it's safe, like.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
And by and by the way, like just like, even
if you ask this dude, and you don't fund primary challengers,
that's not going to stop them from running. And people
are gonna see what you're doing and it's not gonna
stop them from voting for them. So like, do this
shit at your peril, man, Like, Like, people are getting
really frustrated with perceived in action. I mean, we were
(09:45):
frustrated with it for with perceived in action for fucking
four years or you know, or three years with the
previous administration in DJ and stuff like that not moving
quick enough to you know, fucking lay the hammer down
on some of these dudes, and look what it brought us.
And people are getting fucking sick of this shit. Man.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
So yep, so okay, Uh I love that. I think
that's uh. I think it's like, why are you guys
being so goddamn dumb? Like, how are you not seeing again?
I talk a lot about you and I both like
meeting the moment. Yeah, just pay attention the pull back
(10:31):
and pay attention to what is happening. The progressive wing
of the party is the part of the party that's
got it to fuck the wind that it's back, man,
Like that's who people are like, hell yeah, like look
at AOC and look at Bernie, look at the people
that the amount of people they have swarming to them
because they feel like the only people who are fighting now?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Are there other people who in the party fighting? Yes?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And because I hate when people just like it's just Burnie,
No the fuck it isn't. But the vast majority of
people that everyone is is running to and running behind
are the progressive wing of the party, right, it's your
Bernie aoc you know, uh Markie, Like you know all
of these these folks. Why are you fighting them? The
(11:13):
people are pissed at the middle ground, people who are
just like well the fucking Chuck Schumers and all stuff.
Fuck de Korum. Fight back people like Eric Swawell. Why
because he's fighting back, right, because he's actually naming shit
and pushing back. That's what they want. They want more
progressive voices in there. So give it to them. And
if you're like, well, we can't control them, well then
(11:34):
it's time for you to retire.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Or or or at least give them the opportunity. Because again,
like the worst, like the worst thing that happens is
like you you make an incumbent actually have to fight
to keep their seat a little bit, and it makes
them better, or it makes them or it forces them
to positions that they might be slightly uncomfortable with, but
that the people want them to take up, right, Like,
(11:56):
like it's it's only it's only gonna be helpful if
you're to prevent it from happening. Is because you're scared
that they'll lose.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Because lest we forget that, you know you mentioned AOC.
AOC was never supposed to be here. She knocked off,
literally at the time, the number three House Democrat in
Congress that had been there for twenty years prior to this. Yep.
The fact matter is the party leadership doesn't want another AOC.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And look, the more you fight, the more you're gonna
get people in there that are going to challenge. And look,
if you think voters are going to just accept the bullshit,
they're not. Look Republicans. You got to understand Republicans where
they are right now is their balance between la la la,
nothing bad is happening, nothing bad is happening. Whatever is
(12:50):
bad is happening is Joe Biden's fault, right Like, they're there,
and the other side of the Republican Party is, oh shit,
I think there's something bad coming. I can't quite admit that.
Maybe I'm part of this problem. Right There's a few
who will admit it, but the vast majority are stuck
between those two big parallels. The Democratic Party is stuck
(13:11):
between the there is there's nothing we can do, let's
all lay down and die together. Part of the party,
which is more of the like the blue dog, fucking
middle of the road folks. And then the young people
are like, find me people to fight with, right like,
or to use as a weapon. And that's the AOC's
(13:32):
the Bernies, those sort of folks, that's who they're hunting for.
Those people are way more energized than the people are, Like,
I guess we just lay down and die, right, there's
more people energized to fight. Give them people to fight,
give them weapons to fight with.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
There are lessons to learn from how Donald Trump got
elected twice. Like, you don't need to learn every you
don't need to mimic everything he does, obviously, like you
should just fucking straight up lie and you know, like
just be bullshit just to tell people what they want here,
But you do need to look like that you're fighting.
You need to look like that you're someone that's you know,
(14:08):
that that has the people's interest in heart. And for
whatever reason, the people that vote for Donald Trump do
believe that he has their interest in heart, even though
we all know that that's insane.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But but but he, I mean, he basically convinced them.
I mean, what's what's that line? He e would say,
like I alone can fix this, right, he convinced them
that he is their fucking golden knight standing and then
sucked it up and then fucked it up and got
booted out and somehow got let come, let to come
(14:41):
back again. Wow, Yeah, I mean that that part inexplicable
to me, right, Like I don't I just don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
But right, but I'm but I'm saying like he ran
the same fucking I mean again, like this is a
dude who fucking told you the dumb fuck things that
he was gonna do if he won again. And people
are like, oh, sounds good to me, or yeah, like
I know he's saying that, but I don't believe that
it'll actually happen. Plus, I feel like we have an
immigration problem that he that I know he'll solve, and
then all of a SUDDENY let him in and they're like, oh,
(15:08):
he's doing exactly what he said you would do, Well,
this is what I wanted. No, it is like he
said all this. I literally had someone that I know
that I at work, who I've talked about with this
stuff tell me that he's like like like when we
were talking about terrorists and stuff like that, I'm like, yeah, bro,
it's like you got like if you voted for this,
like you got exactly what you voted for. He's like, well,
I don't remember him saying anything about this on the
campaign trail. Like, dude, like, I'll bring you the videotape,
(15:32):
like I got, I got a whole library, fool. It
ain't hard to find.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Right, I mean, the idea that like Donald Trump has
betrayed us. No, he didn't betray you. He yeah, Like
I'll find I'll find tape of him saying I want
to put a thousand percent tariffs on China because he.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Said that shit right, So so if you didn't if
you didn't catch it.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's on you, bro, Like you said it, and it's
not even And and here's the thing. I don't even
believe people didn't hear it. I think people just do
what they always do. They listen to what he says,
and they cut it with all of their horseship. They
I part whatever they want, right, He's gonna teach China
fucking lesson. It's like, that's not what those words mean.
(16:12):
And then he's like, oh, I'm gonna put this one
hundred and fifty percent tax on or terif in China,
and then it's like, oh this this ended up shooting
us in the foot. Yeah, he already told you that.
You just you didn't listen to what he said. You
listen to what you wanted him to say, right, Like
the idea like when Republicans always say, oh, you know,
Barack Obama was an empty suit. People just put into
(16:35):
that suit anything they want it. Dude. Donald Trump is
the perfect example of a person that just they just
dump all of their thoughts and prayers into him, assuming
that those things are true.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's like, yeah, no, they're not.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You told you exactly what he's gonna do. If and
if you didn't listen to him, you could have read
Project twenty twenty five because it's all listed there too.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh but they said they weren't gonna do Project twenty
twenty five except it's something brought on it. Yeah, except
he appointed like the every author of Project twenty twenty
five to be in his cabinet are and important positions
in government. Weird, yeah, straight, straight, yeah, weird? All right.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Next up, this is a this is a good Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
This one is I don't feel like being talked about enough,
and it's this is like hair on fire, insanity to
me that this is fucking happening. So Republicans are trying
desperately in the House to work on the Big Beautiful Bill.
By the way, that's actually what it's called. Oh is
(17:38):
the one Yeah, no, that's what they're called, like like
because because Trump insisted, they call it that.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
So they're calling it the one Big Beautiful Bill. Yeah,
they're very dumb. So they're working on this thing.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Right. They had like a fucking marathon twenty six hour
markup session this week where of course every democratic you know,
amendment was was voted down, and you know, Republicans got
a lot of the worship in including a amendment that
would block not just the federal government but state governments
(18:12):
from enforcing any law or regulation that targets AI systems
for ten years after the law gets enacted.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Wait, I'm sorry say that again.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
The law that they the amendment that they put into
this bill, which which is there's no guarantee that this
bill would pass, by the way, because they're having helping
shouldn't right now, right, but one of the amendments in
a budget bill I would also bring up that would
propose that it would not let states basically enforce any
(18:51):
kind of regulations or laws against AI systems that are
built for ten years, I can begin to tell you
how fucking terrible of an idea this is. And if
you need to, like, if you need proof, we just
did this with social media companies, like we like see
(19:15):
where we are today with social media companies because the
government refused to regulate them and be serious about the shit.
And look at all the fucking problems we have now
with social media companies. Multiply that by a factor of ten.
For if they decide, like, hey, we're not going to
put any constraints on people developing AI right now, I
(19:36):
I like, this is literally one of the most irresponsible
things that I've ever seen Republicans do. And and I can't, like,
I can't even put into words how incredibly dangerous and
irresponsible this would be if this where allows to happen.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, so let me ask you the obvious question, Yeah,
why would you do this? And now I have a
well yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, well, like because because it's a big fucking gift
to tech companies and ship like that, because Republicans never
want to fucking lean on business in any way, shape
or form, and I'm sure that they're being lobbied to
death by these fucking companies, and like again, that's why
people are paying for the inauguration. I'm sure if you
look in like super PACs and stuff like that, how
(20:23):
many millions of dollars are coming from the Silicon Valley
elites in you know, into Republicans pocketbooks right now and
stuff like that. That is exactly what's happening here. One percent.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Okay, So I think that is a surface answer, and
I think it's a very good But I think that's
a surface answer. There's a more sinister, uh.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Sure, because because because it would theoretically give like Republicans
like hey, like if we want you to do this X,
Y or Z, like with with your AI, as we
see Elon Musk trying definitely to do so.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
So you know that for at least another potentially for years,
god forbid longer than that, on the federal level, they
will do nothing about regulating AI as far as that
potentially hurts them, right Like, they'll regulate AI when it
is convenient to stop something that is hurting them. But
then they'll be like I'll just leave it, you know,
(21:16):
if it iss Grok is doing some crazy shit, they'll
be fine with it. But if open AI is doing
some crazy shit that hurts them, then they'll be like,
all right, we gotta knock this down. How why is
AI understand like you know, American history. We gotta do.
We have to start. So the more sinister answer is,
much like much like with social media, if you allow
(21:39):
it to go unregulated. These guys know, especially because like
a lot of these guys, Musk and Peter tie On,
all these guys, they're they're pro this like technocratic feudalism
like this this this fucking insane ship. Don't even bother
looking it up. You'll get deeply depressed. Okay, I can
guarantee you get deeply depressed. They want to base destroy
(22:00):
countries and just have nation states run by giant corporations.
Like that's that's quite literally what they want. Spoiler alert.
Why they're doing the things they're doing to the American
financial markets, it's not just because they're bad at it.
It's because they literally want to crash the markets. Like
that's on purpose. Sure. The other thing is if you
have this running amok, then what you're what you're doing
(22:23):
is you give the states no recourse to try to
make sure that disinformation and misinformation run rampant during election
times and god knows whatever else. Right, if you let
that ship rock for ten years, by the way, you
don't even need ten years, five years, three years, it
could be disastrous. But if you let that ship rock
(22:44):
deep fakes and in misinformation and disinformation, they go rampant.
If that not just that, but how do you regulate
you've lost all right, not just that, but how do
you regulate copyrighted works?
Speaker 2 (22:56):
How do you make sure the exactly property is protected?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
And so on the right, So if all of those
things are unregulated for a decade, dude, think about when
chat GPT was was announced, Like you can just use
it as a regular person to now, what was that
three years ago? Right like, and it is exponentially gotten
more complex, more and more savvy in three years. What
(23:22):
does it look like in ten with things like deep
deep seek and stuff like that that are less expensive,
large language models coming up and stuff like that. What
happens to state governments when those things become completely unregulated.
Never forget, and this is a weird tie in, but
bear with me, never forget a number of years ago,
(23:43):
maybe three years ago, it got really really bad that
state governments were being hacked and being forced to pay
out massive amounts of money because all of their data
was being encrypted. Right, that was a real thing, and
then it kind of like slowed down a bit. Imagine
if that starts up or you have have AI doing
(24:03):
like helping along with that, right, deep faking you know,
announcements from governments and ship like that on a state level,
fucking up you know, uh, state government responsibilities, waterworks and
all these other things. Imagine that happens and you have
no recourse to stop it because the federal government at
that point, let's says, still run by Republicans, right, because
they're not trying to leave. The federal government will do nothing,
(24:25):
especially in blue states.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
We're not doing anything now, right.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It's like it's not like they're definitely not going to
do anything.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Right, Like it's not like they're telling states like, hey,
we don't want you to pass individual regulations because we're
going to pass federal regulations. Like no, they're just not
doing anything at all. And to be clear, like I
don't want to like doom doom profit here, Like I
think if this did somehow were to pass and sign
into law, I'm pretty sure the state, like a million
states would sue them immediately, pretty sure they would win.
Like even the Supreme Court is not gonna be like
(24:55):
fuck federalism, you know, like get get the fuck out
of here.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yeah, by the way, what happened, what happened to federalism?
What happened to what happens to st Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, So I don't I don't think that. I don't
think that you're going to see this actually like take hold.
But the fact that they're even proposing it and think
that this is a good idea is just fucking insane
to me, Like that's that's just an absolutely insane thought
process to be like, hey, like this burgeoning technology that's
growing exponentially year of a year. To Jay's point, like like,
(25:26):
look how far we've come in five years, and imagine
how far it's going to go in the next five
Let's just put no guardrails on that whatsoever. Let's just
let it fucking fly. And again, just look at how
the progression of social media over over its lifetime so
far in the last you know, fifteen years and without
(25:47):
without the guardrails, and what that does. It's not good.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And look, I gotta tell you if you are cool
with this, as like a CEO of any of these
tech companies, you're you're dumb, right because it may seem cool,
But what happens when you don't have any regulation to
stop something like deep seek from stealing your data? By
the way, you also stole the data like.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
You know open Aye, Like, I can't believe they stole
the data week well, I was already crying about that
when Deep Sea first came on scene. They're like, oh,
they're they're they're copying your homework and like, yeah, you're
copying everyone else's homework. Bro, was like, get the who cares?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Sam All, like, we're good on your complaints. Shut the
fuck up. What happens when those things? What happens when
somebody inside the US spins that up? Right? What happens then?
Oh there's no regulation maybe less fucking rock and roll.
Make sure that you pay attention more than just at
your looking at your profit margins, because yes, you may
(26:45):
not be regulated, but that regulation protects you too, right
Like again, but that's.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
But that's never how they see it, Jay, That was
just the man that on them. Yeah, not letting them develop,
not letting them do like you know, make big ideas
happen and stuff like that. No, like that's going to
slow us down. And and to be fair, there are
certainly aspects in society where government regulation slows things down.
(27:17):
Tech is not one of them.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
It isn't. And again that that idea that government is
only there to repress you and doesn't protect you, especially
as a corporation. Just understand that whatever fucked up craziness
that goes on inside the United States, one of the
things that is absolutely true is that corporations are seen
as people. And that is complete and utter bullshit. That's
(27:41):
how much the government is in the fucking bed with
corporations that we regard them as being people. To quote
Mitt Romney, corporations are businesses my friend, or businesses are
people my friend, Like they're not. They're not Like we
should have a constitution for businesses or a bill of
rights for businesses or corporations, but they should not be
the same as human beings. That's dumb, but that is
(28:04):
the way of the world in the United States. If
you don't think that you benefit as a corporation from
that existing, I feel like you're not paying attention. Like
you benefit greatly from that so to the people coming
to your house and just stealing your ship, like because
the government will protect you like you're a person, which
you're fucking not. Next up, Michael, he should have his
(28:29):
hard drive checked. Mike Lee is what I can only
what I can only say is a person who looks
like he's never like he's never seen what a clatorus
looks like in real life, like.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Which which is amazing because I have to assume that
he has more than one wife given where he's from.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I mean just because just because you just because you've
had a wife doesn't mean you know where you're what
you're doing. And I just well, yeah, it's Utah. They
just don't the people like move the bed for you.
Isn't that like a thing that they don't? Uh, they
do quite literally, It's it's fucking weird.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I apologize to any utan listener listeners that we have.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I'm just saying, do they do what's the term? What's
the term?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I think I think it's utes honestly.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
No, no, no, I'm saying that the term of like
the kids they like this is quite literally a thing
like Mormons, they they the way they copulate, so that
like it doesn't seem like they're doing it. Is somebody
shakes the bed like in college. That's that's what they all.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Right, this feels like a Polish light bulb joke.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
But I'm not not, dude, I'm looking it up. Shaking
the bed. Wouldn't call it soaking, soaking, stoking, soaking or
jump humping.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Oh no, no, so soaking. I'm I'm familiar with that term.
That that's that's where you just insert but you don't,
you don't. But people take the bed. I didn't realize
that there was gonna be I didn't realize if someone
else was like making bed the bed shake cabintel just
put the quarter in the bed like around right.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
You're definitely getting bed bugs if you go to those places.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I mean, you're not wrong about that, But I'm just saying, like, like,
I feel like the solutions already there. You don't need
to employ additional people.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
We have the ripology like we we came up with
in the sixties. Guys, Yeah, soaking and jump pumping. Jump
humping is a more specific form where a third person
actively jumps on the bed to mimic the motion of intercourse.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Oh Jesus Christ, we don't have time for this. Mike,
Mike Lee wants to ban everybody.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
This is what Mike Lee does. So yes, Mike Lee,
after getting done with jump pumping, has society that he
is going to make a bill to ban pornography across
the United States.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I'm at you know what, you know what I'm doing
right now. I'm at the point where obviously, like Americans
have proven as a as a as a body, poletic,
as a general populace, that we are incapable of just
like listening, I understand what the bad thing is gonna be,
and like we need to see, like we need to
touch the stove. So I am all for Republicans, nuke
the filibuster and pass whatever fucking insanity that you want
(31:10):
to pass and let the people get to see it firsthand.
Because that's the only way that we're going to fucking
get out of this is if people actually have the
consequences happened to them, like we're seeing now with the
economy and stuff like that, before they realize like, holy shit,
maybe this is a bad idea. Perhaps we should vote
for other people that aren't these guys.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Right, Okay, we're gonna We're going to have an in
show fight. Yes, Brett and I disagree on this idea
of the porn debate. Brad is obviously against porn because
he's an American. I am pro porn because I'm mean. No,
in all seriousness, we disagree. I said that I think
(31:51):
that this is going to be hard for Democrats to
gain the balls to fight. This is gonna be a lot,
It's gonna be a lot of that's right. I don't
think that they have the the balls to to fight
for the porn industry on this. You said that it's
twenty twenty five and this isn't this is a slam dun.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I just yeah, I don't think. I don't. I don't.
I don't think it's a big thrust to stand up
and say that, uh that you think that banning all
porn is bad? Like, like, I don't. I don't think
in this day and age that you're going to have
trouble even getting like prudish Democrats to be like, hey, like,
maybe I think some porn is kind of out there,
but I think just fucking putting a blanket ban on
(32:35):
pornography probably not a good idea. I don't think that's
a that's a that's a that's something that's a difficult
thing to, you know, to to fucking put out there.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Look, here's the thing I think it shouldn't be. I
think it's I think it's a first you know, first
Amendment issue. I think it's super easy. But I also
think that Democrats are the same party that we talked
about earlier that are fighting the progressive wing. I think
the progressive wing will be like, yeah, it's a free
speech issue. Who gives a shit as long as it's
(33:05):
not you know, as long as it's contentsual and it's
not with kids or whatever. Yeah, porn is totally fine.
You do whatever you're doing in privacy your own home.
Republicans will make it out that people who watch porn
are perverts. However, at the same time watching porn and
having a mass amount of their constituents who also watch porn.
But they will be okay with making that argument because
(33:27):
it will make them feel morally sound. Everyone knows, you've
seen the maps where you can see, like the states
by porn the most depraved shit are all in all
the red states, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Because what the fuck else is there to do out there?
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Nothing? I mean, I don't know I assume it's just
soaken and donkey porn in Utah. I have no.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Idea, but.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I don't think Democrats are going to have the strength
to fight this. And that's a problem because it should
be an easy argument. It's a First Amendment issue. Can
if but right there, that's it, like like that's all,
that's the that's as far as you have to go. Yeah,
we just got out of an election where one guy
was like, they're eating the cats and dogs. If you
(34:08):
were like, this guy seems reasonable, I don't know, but.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
That was that. That was the funk.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
That was the people that that did that, The stupid
people Jay the like like the fucking the fucking cruft
of American society.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Out here, Like yeah, like you're not listening to what
the dude says. We're talking about elected like like like
we're talking about politicians, right.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
I don't think Democrats. Okay, one, Democrats don't control of
the Senate, Democrats don't control the House.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah, but you would still need sixty votes unless they
decided to nuke to Filbuster, you'd still need sixty votes
to fucking post the porn band bill. You're not going
to tie this into a budgetary bill to get fifty votes,
Like he's.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like, my porn budgets pretty high. Was tied in like
what about Look but but I think but actually, Mike
Johnson would never let this happen because he's an investor
in that fucking master bill like monitor app. Yeah, like
you know, he's like a way also like that's my app.
I use that app with my son.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
You're weird.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Look, it should be a slam dunk. It should be
a slam dunk for voters. Voters should see this and
be like, Yo, what the fuck? This is fucking stupid?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
It apparently like like like I think that, I meant
that my personal depth of cynicism right now, and it
pleases me to see that. I still apparently have further
to go because I haven't caught up to you.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
No, dude, I look, do I think again? Do I
think this should be? This should be the canary in
the coal mine for like dudes, especially dudes like wait,
a god damn minute, you're not taking a porn But
I don't know that they're gonna fight on it. I
don't know that they are because it's gonna I guarantee
you you go to any comment section it's gonna be
a bunch of dudes, like, we'll just get a VPN, bro, Like,
(35:48):
how many times are you gonna do workarounds for your
life around these pieces of ship trying to take the base?
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Look, my my search shark is paid up for three years.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I'm good, nords all, Like, but how many times are
you going to realize that just because you do a
workaround to get to get back to your freedoms that
you are, you're letting them be eroded for everyone else,
including yourself. By the way, I just when I when
I saw that men wouldn't fight the argument of like, hey,
(36:19):
we got to make sure women have birth control, we
got to make sure that birth control is readily available.
When guys didn't fight that shit like dude, you know
it's to stop you from having a kid, and they're.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Like, yeah, but who gives a shit, bro, Like.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
When they didn't fight on that. It's kind of like
the gun control thing of like when they killed twenty
kids at Sandy Hook that were white and people were
just like that's fine.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
That was the end of the debate.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
I don't I don't know, man. Look, I hope people
I hope people get up in arms. But like to me,
the porn industry should be all over this shit. Every
time you log in the fucking X video. They will
fucking banner if it gets.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
If it gets to a point where like this is
a realistic possibility to get past, they will. They always
be one shit.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Right now, though, don't wait until it starts to get
into a debate on the news. Fuck that. When that
guy's got his dick in his hand, he's the most vulnerable.
Put that banner up, like, dude, you want to see
giant jugs sixty nine. Make sure Mike Lee knows that
you don't like that guy, like, give a fuck, because
you better. I also get yourself in trouble.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I also get the get the sense that this probably
isn't fucking going anywhere anyway in the Senate.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
So I don't know. I don't know that. And here, look,
let's be really real about this topic. It isn't really
about porn. It's about being able to label LGBTQ folks
as a danger to children. That's the end goal, is
if you look at Project twenty twenty five, that's what
they want to do, because then they want to be
able to label any any sort of like trans people
(37:56):
in public or you know, gay people, you know, holding
hands or any of that. That shit like normal shit
that's somehow offensive to kids. Thus that's pornography. Thus it
is illegal. Thus we can put these people in jail
or worse. That is what the core of it is.
Ted Cruise and Mike Lee like jerk off, Oh yeah,
that's fucking American. But that's not really the goal. The
(38:18):
goal is to label that is bad and to label
gay folks and you know, everybody else in that community
into that, and so they can do terrible shit. That's
literally it. And that's why I don't think even if
this fails, they will not give up on it, because
ultimately that is their goal, is to marginalize that group.
And that's fucked up. And it's easy for me to
say that to you because your brain works, and it
(38:39):
is easy for us to say this on this show
because the people listening are intelligent. But the average person goes, well, yeah,
they're gonna ban poorn. Oh well man, but that's just
the starting salvo. That's not really the ultimate goal. So
just pay attention to that. Again, to paraphrase doctor Cox
from Scrubs, if they take away porn. There will only
(39:01):
be one website on the Internet, and it'll be bring
back all the the only he is all right quickly.
Trump's fascist parade that he's planning for his birthday could
cost anywhere between. I believe it is twenty five and
forty five million dollars. US officials have told.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Those are low escedents. I saw up. I saw up
up to ninety ninety two million.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Yeah, I saw that a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
so yeah, twin celebrations of US president.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
The original one that he wanted to do in his
first term would have cost ninety million dollars. Apparently they're
pairing back on the birthday celebration.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Yeah, is he not firing a nuke at the time.
So they're having twin celebrations for Donald Trump's birthday and
the Army's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, which will include
as many as twenty five tanks rolling through Washington in
a celebration that will cost twenty five to forty five
million dollars. The US military service branches take pride in
(40:04):
their history and anniversary celebrations, but they don't do this.
This is not a thing.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yeah, can we please not be Can we please not
this quickly become the country who fucking does the big
military thing for the dealer a year's birthday, Like that's real,
fucking it's weird, you know, like North Korea fucking bullshit.
Yeah right there.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Now, I will say this, many people have said that
if this actually ends up happening, which it seemed to be,
that they are going to have massive protests. Go sure,
right there, make sure it miserable for that guy. You
be as loud with your booze and your fuck u's
(40:46):
as you human as humanly possible. Make it miserable. Make
it miserable for him. Man, don't get yourself arrested right
fuck these people, because they're there. You'll wind up in
a fucking goolag somewhere. But make noise, man, noise, fuck
up his birthday and do whatever you can to make
that motherfucker absolutely regret coming out there and doing that shit.
(41:09):
It is un it's unacceptable. It's just unacceptable. Like, we
don't do that, We don't bang our chests like that.
It's not cool. We that's just not America. And if
you're a citizen and you're like, we should be doing
this to celebrate the president. Go live in North Korea.
We don't do this here because we are a country
of laws, not of men. We don't celebrate the president's
birthday like that. He's not the deer leader. Get the
(41:32):
fuck out of here.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Yeah we we We literally, we literally celebrate the birthday
of two prior presidents. And that even got so tedious
that we're like, you know what, We're just combining this
into one fucking holiday because this is too much. This
is too much.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
So it's very silly. All right, what's dumber, a brick
or a Republican brad? You got both of these stories.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
I do have both these stories, so so people might
not have heard, but people also might have heard this. Apparently,
this administration is now giving like protected status to South Africans,
specifically white South Africans, because there is uh they are
allegedly suffering like racist crime and and and all sorts
(42:17):
of like strife in South Africa against the dangerous black
South Africans that are that are causing them a lot
of Pay Africans, yes, correct, but but specific people that
live in South Africa. Coincidentally, Elon Musk very close with
this current administration, also originally from South Africa also happens
(42:38):
to be a white guy. Yeah, Peter clearly enough. Yeah,
Peter teel as well. So I'm sure that Elon Musk
had nothing to do with this, uh change in policy whatsoever.
But this is a thing that's happening, but you might
be curious to learn, uh that the plight of white
South Africans is kind of bullshit, Like it's definitely fucking
(43:01):
racist garbage. I know I can't believe it either, but
but Elon Musk also happens on a social media site
and an AI platform as well. And Elon Musk is
so trying to overtune Grock's response to this this happening
U that basically for a couple for a couple of
(43:22):
days here, anyone who used Groc to even ask Groc
like a banal question about something completely unrelated, uh saw
Grock go into a screed about the plate facing white
South Africans, uh that are going on that's going on
in South Africa, except that Groc was actually throwing cold
(43:43):
water on the narrative that's being generated about this, like
basically say, hey, like people say that you know, these
white South Africans are facing like enhanced amounts of crime
against them, but if you look at the crime statistics,
it seems like they're actually like like suffering the same
regular amount of crime that everybody does in South Africa.
So there's really not much here. It's kind of bullshit.
(44:03):
And Elon Musk just continues to try to tune GROC
to be the messenger that he wants GROC to be,
and somehow I guess he's actually making a good AI
because Grock refuses to be cornered into whatever nonsense training
that they're trying to impose on it.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
I mean, here's the thing. This is the thing about
technology that is deeply important, especially about AI. It doesn't
matter who runs it, right, because yeah, you can try
to game the system, but when you don't, it is
a liberating bit of technology because you can have your
(44:43):
bullshit narrative, but if you have something that you can
go hey, man, is this real, and it goes, no,
that's not true. Here's all the data why you're like,
I'm going to search the entirety of the Internet to
find it for facts, not bullshit, and I will report
on the fact you yeah so and that And that's
the thing you have to understand that It isn't necessarily
(45:08):
that AI is bad. It is who, like any technology,
who is running it, right? And what are they using
it for their purpose?
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Right?
Speaker 1 (45:16):
Like? Is grock probably good for some things? I don't
use grow because I don't use that Nazi app, So yeah,
maybe it's it's pretty good. It's pretty good at certain things, right,
coding or something like that, or making art or whatever.
I don't fucking know, not making art, but like making
what it deems his art. Maybe it's really good at
those things, right, But it clearly is being gamed for
him about this.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Very specific topic.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
So you know what you do? You head on over
to check ept or deep seek and ask it the
same questions and then ask it be like, give me
some fucking information about like where are you getting these sources?
And then read and compare them. Most of these things
are free, right like there there's no there's no cost, right,
so you can you can find out if you're gonna
have the technology fucking use it properly right like that?
(46:02):
That is, I want the technology to tell it to
say exactly what I wanted to say. Jay, Yeah we're
not here, Yeah, we're not here to to actually have
freedom of information get the fuck out of here. Yeah,
I know, fucking so stupid.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
You haven't. You haven't read the story yet. I don't
want you to open it yet because I'm gonna get
your reaction to me telling you what it says. Essentially,
So Christy Nome, the Secretary of Homeland Security who basically
has used this new role to essentially just cosplay in
various different aspects of like American Armed Service life in
(46:38):
some way, shape or form. It's kind of like she's
like like living the dream on like a reality TV
show of some kind, uh, something that she apparently wants
to learn more about, because it was reported today, like
literally shortly before we came on the show that she
is working with Rob Warsof, who was the producer of
the Duck Dynasty show I have to oh oh to
(47:03):
make Oh You're gonna love this, to make a reality
show called The American. The concept of the show is
to have immigrants compete in a string of challenges across
the country for the honor of fast tracking their way
to US citizens.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
You're fucking kidding me? Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (47:22):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (47:22):
Jesus christ As, as I put in the docket, I'd
like this better.
Speaker 2 (47:27):
Uh when It was a story that Michael Crichton wrote
and it was called The Running Man. Yeah, what the
fuck what happens to the losers?
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Jay of the American Well, I mean it's been on
the next plane to El Salvatore and have a fucking
lifetime stay at Seacott book for them. Uh you know, okay, Like.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
So again with the the the most unseious people that
you could possibly.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Fathom, the deeply deeply unseerious.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
To say nothing of.
Speaker 1 (48:05):
Like, like so they they hold up and by day,
I mean, like the right wing they hold up like
American citizenship as this thing that you should like aspire
to and it's sacred and it's so important and like
the most important thing that you can have.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
But yet they're willing to basically like drop it, like
like diminish it to the point where it's literally a
game show prize. I mean that's that's what they actually
think of it.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
I mean, it's it's no different than the like, give
me five million dollars and I'll give you.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
But at least that, but at least that attaches a
monetary value to it, so you can at least say, well,
you know, America's citizenship is worth five million dollars, right, exactly,
we're all millionaires just walk around in our pockets.
Speaker 1 (48:50):
What obviously, what what were the what were the the
characters in Running Man?
Speaker 2 (48:57):
What were they called the like Glady, the ones, the ones?
Speaker 1 (49:02):
They?
Speaker 2 (49:02):
Oh, the stalkers, Stalkers. That's right, we're gonna meet the stalkers.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
Yeah. Like, by the way, if this show, if this
show were to happen, there is a ninety eight percent
possibility that would be hosted.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
By the Rocket.
Speaker 1 (49:18):
I feel like, oh, that doesn't feel right to me, Like,
come on, bro, I four no, it's gonna be like
a work conservative piece of shit. No no, no, no, no,
hosted by Mel Gibson. He would fucking love it. He's
a violent psychopath. I could see it, totally totally do it. Yeah,
(49:41):
oh man, yeah, we like hal Con already remember how
that's not bad Gladiators reboot.
Speaker 2 (49:47):
So he already has a game show hosting experience.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
Oh that's not bad, that's not bad. Who are the Stalkers? Like,
it's got to be like conservative, like bro dogs, right,
Like the Hodge Twins are probably their Dan Vongino, right,
Like who's our Ben Richard? Like that's like, yeah, I
don't know. Oh man, here is here is sub zero
(50:10):
now playing zero? What happened to Bush? He split? He
had to split.
Speaker 2 (50:17):
I don't know we but I mean they can at
least get Steve Steve Bannon to be dynamo. He's a
fat piece of shit, so like that that could easily.
Speaker 1 (50:23):
That's not bad. That's not bad. We work driving around
in that little car singing opera. Yeah, this is an
insane This is an insane idea. By the way I saw,
I thought this was a Christy num sory. You we're
gonna do and then we're gonna get out of here.
She's now because of Trump's like free jet shit, She's
now edging for a fifty million dollar private jet herself.
(50:43):
And the picture was her like yeah, like she's in
the cockpit like pretending to drive a jet, like a
little kid driving a car. What are we doing? Because
she's like going back and forth to els Aalbador all
the time, just like hanging out in front of the
case like this is this is what happens when the
when the grown ups have left the room basically and
they're just letting the letting the kids do whatever they want. Apparently, Yeah, again,
(51:07):
we have a Congress that could, you know, do any
sorts of things to investigate some of this shit. Look, man,
all I say, all I'm saying is if you care
to fix shit and you look, you know what, No,
that's that's the wrong argument. If you want retribution as
(51:29):
a voter, get your ass to the fucking voting booths
in this midterm. Hopefully that will work out. I'm not
asking for you to let's fix America. I want retribution
and I want these people to go to prison. That
is what you should be aiming for. I want enough
Democrats with balls to go in there and put these people,
(51:50):
get them impeached, get them removed, and get them in
fucking jail. That's what your goal should be. So fuck
all of that midterm. Let's fix America. Let's hold them account.
Retribution is what you should be thinking about when you
go into the voting booth. Do I want to see
Christin Nong go to prison just for killing that dog? Yes? Okay,
if nothing else, but do I want.
Speaker 2 (52:11):
To see that'll be one of the events in the
American here's.
Speaker 1 (52:14):
A cute dog? Will you kill it for fifty? I will?
Can I have citizenship? But that's insane, right, Like we're
two steps away, by the way from the purge, which
Donald Trump literally suggested they do on the campaign trail.
So and that's not a smart guy. Yeah so but yes,
