AI Proves Social Media Is Destroying Us | Karel Cast 25-112
AI just confirmed what we already feared: social media is toxic by design. Platforms aren’t about connection — they’re echo chambers of rage, built to make us hate-scroll, click ads, and consume endless misinformation.
Even more shocking? Scientists tested a social media network made entirely of bots. They tried fixes like chronological feeds, flagging, and more. The results were horrifying — rage, division, and chaos spread no matter what. Add to that Russia’s ongoing disinformation war (with MAGA as their prime audience), and the dangers of these platforms become crystal clear.
Meanwhile, many liberals feel trapped in a USA they don’t recognize, but remain docile instead of revolting. Why? Have people given up hope for change?
Plus, it’s Pet Peeve Day — let’s talk about the little things that drive us crazy.
🔥 Join me on today’s episode of The Karel Cast as we dig into the AI experiments, the broken promise of social media, and why America feels so stuck.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here, No time to fear. Corilla is so near because
(00:04):
show time is here.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
So on with the show.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Let's give it a go. Corilla is the one that
you need to know now is shown.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
All right in just sixty seconds. The most fabulous I mean,
he's really something. The best, most fabulous host will be here.
He just tells the truth all the time, bigly. And
he's funny, this guy. Have you heard him? Yeah, he's
funny and smart, smart and funny, not like those nasty
(00:40):
people on lamestream media. So don't go anywhere. He's almost here.
I know he doesn't speak well of me, and that's
okay because I mean, he's really quite fabulous show.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What if we could prove everything we all think about
about social media that it is a cesspool of division
and an echo chamber. Well, scientists did just that. I'm
going to tell you about that. Also, I could save
your life with something on my desk right now. What
is it?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged. It's a cell cast. Listen daily
on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It is the crowd cast. I am COREL. Welcome on
this Wednesday. Do you find yourself at home a lot
by yourself? Do you live alone. Perhaps if you do,
I want to save your life. My friend Steve thought
I was ridiculous for buying this, by the way, but
I found out that fourteen people a day die at home,
(01:54):
usually at home, from choking, and a lot of them
are seniors or their children are seniors, and they're usually
you know alone. Now, outside November, I spend a lot
of time alone, so I got this. It is not
a sex toy. Okay, can you see it all? Can
(02:14):
you see it there? It is? Oh, it's got green
on it, so it's gonna fade into the background. But
this is an at home choking device. And what you
do if you're choking and you're alone, or if someone
in your house is choking, you get it. You put
it over the face securely like that. You push in
(02:36):
so all the air comes out this vent right here,
and then you pull back and when you do, the
suction pulls whatever it is out of the throat. You
have under two minutes when you're choking and you can't speak.
You can't call nine one one because you can't talk.
So they sell these on Amazon. They're about twenty five dollar.
(03:00):
They're called a home choking device, and I really want
everyone to go get one of these. Okay. I make
no money if you do. It's funny about the green screen,
by the way. I make no money if you do.
I have not gotten an endorsement for these or anything
like that. I just bought one for myself. It comes
(03:22):
to a package of two, and I want you all
to go get one, okay. And it comes to various
sized mouthpieces for you. I think there's even one that
would fit ever in case she's choking. So there you go,
start the show with a life saving device that could
save your life if you live alone. So I just
wanna because I love y'all and I want it. Yeah,
(03:44):
I want that to be put out there. Okay, Wow,
what's going on here in the chatroom at YouTube dot
com forward slash Really Carrell, just looking to see what's
going on. So I have a whole show for you
today about the scientists that designed an entire social media
platform that they then populated with bots. And they did
(04:08):
that so they could have the bots go in different directions,
you know, like for instance. Well, we'll get to it,
but what it says about social media, Well, I today
I deleted TikTok and Instagram, I deleted them. I will
post on them, I will read the comments on my post.
(04:31):
But that's it. No more scrolling, no more spending time
in the afternoon an hour looking through Instagram or TikTok.
No more getting angry that everyone else is having a
better life than me. David Hernandez is going to be
on local Las Vegas television and he's going to be
at the Fountain Blue and I know him, and you know,
why can't I get those dates and whatever? No more
(04:54):
of that. Got rid of TikTok, got rid of Instagram,
didn't get rid of my accounts. If if you follow
me and you post on my videos, I will see
your post and I will answer. I'm just not seeing
other people's It's not healthy for me. And that plays
into what I want to take this first segment to
talk about. I am going to be changing. I know
(05:17):
I have threatened to do this, but I am going
to be changing the show over the next month, and
I need every Patreon supporter to support me in the change.
I can no longer how do I say this. I
can't read the news when it relates to Donald Trump anymore.
(05:38):
I am dizzy right now. I've been bit dizzy for
two days. I don't know why, blood pressure or whatever.
I'm kind of afraid to go to the doctor. The
room is not spinning, so I'm not like that dizzy.
I just have a light headed feeling my night. My
nose is completely plugged. It could just be that simple.
But anyway, I find that I feel worse. I feel
(06:01):
worse about myself. I feel worse about the country. I
feel worse about the people around me when I read
the news, because all it is is the same news
over and over, war, war, war, and then Donald Trump
shaping America into an oligarchy, and his followers maga being
(06:26):
okay with that, defending it. Go read the comments that
I get on my videos. They're hateful, They're homophobic. People
are saying, yeah, Trump twenty twenty eight, that's against the constitution.
Anyone that posts that Donald Trump should run in twenty
twenty eight is not an American. In fact, they are
(06:48):
somebody we need. Okay. See, I'm starting to get there
is a coup going on, a real, live coup going
on in America. Trump has just installed lawyers and judges,
going around Congress, going around the courts. He's installing loyalists
(07:13):
in key judicial situations to back him up when people
try to stop him through the courts. Texas is going
to redistrict. So the Democrats leaving did nothing. They're going
to add five more Republican seats to the House because
(07:35):
he wants to cheat in the midterms so he keeps
the majority. This is a coup. There's no other word
for it. It's a coup. And why people like Gavin
Newsom and others are not actually raising military forces and
alliances to overthrow Donald Trump and his regime, I don't know.
(08:00):
He didn't win fair and square. We now have proof
that Russia supports him. We have proof that Russia right
this minute is putting out anti American propaganda on American
social media. We have proof of this. We have proof
that Elon Musk fumbled with the voting machines. We have
(08:20):
proof that Donald Trump is a Russian asset. Vladimir Putin
told him to get rid of voting machines and mail
in voting, and he's signing an executive order to do it.
He is a Russian asset, he is an oligarch, and
this is a coup. No one is responding appropriately, Nobody,
(08:43):
not one person in government is raising the specter that
we should remove him and if his people fight back,
we should beat them down with military force. No one
has talked about raising arms against mag that they are
letting Donald Trump raise arms through the National Guard against
(09:06):
anybody he doesn't like, including Gavin Newsom. But no one
is talking about using the National Guard to beat down
MAGA and to overtake Trump. There is a coup going
on in this country, and I know it, and a
lot of you know it, and we can't stop it.
(09:28):
You and I cannot stop it. And so, as my
friend David said to me the other day, which really hurt,
he said, well, you're trapped. You want to leave, but
you can't because of finances Vegas. It's nearly impossible to
sell my condo now. And I feel trapped here. And
(09:52):
so while I feel trapped in America, I can't keep
reading the news about Trump because no one is stopping him.
And I will never understand that. I don't mean someone
should assassinate him. I mean that the governors of the states,
at least the Blue States, should get together and get
(10:14):
their National Guard and go to DC and take him out,
remove him from office, remove every MAGA from office, but
they won't because they're not treating it like an actual coup.
And it is an actual coup. Want to support the

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Sorry I got so into the topic, I just went
right through the break. But there's an actual coup, and
this coup is fueled by social media. Now, social media
is nothing but a hatred echo chamber. Now, that's all
it is. It's divisive, homophobic, it's racist, it's bad. It
is bad for you as a human, and it's bad
(11:35):
for our culture. Scientists created a social media platform, okay,
and then they populated it with thousands of AI bots
that they could then program to do different things, and
within four days, every single time they ran a different simulation,
(11:57):
within four days, it devolved into exactly what it is
right now, a hate filled echo chamber of division of hatred, homophobia, misinformation,
and They tried everything. They tried. They tried a chronological
(12:17):
timeline where the things you see are happening in real
time and chronologically. You know what happened in that simulation,
fake news, fake media moved to the top. They tried
everything they tried, skewing it to where you couldn't post
anything hateful, and you know what happened. They got around
(12:40):
it every simulation they ran on social media, a social
media platform that they had created so they could have
a controlled environment. No matter how they programmed the bots
to interact on social media, it always ended the same way. Disinformation, hatred, bigotry, division,
(13:07):
and one big echo chamber for key talking points that
were often wrong. Now we know for a fact that
Russia has a huge misinformation campaign going on in the
United States. I'm gonna sneeze, sorry, And we know that
(13:33):
MAGA is most susceptible with their derangement syndrome, their Trump
They have Trump derangement syndrome. They are deranged. They believe
in this person that is someone no one should believe
in except a court to throw it to jail. And
they believe the misinformation. They believe Hillary Clinton is some
(13:57):
queen of all evil. They believe. They believe that Joe
Biden is some deep state plotter who did all of it.
They believe this stuff. They believed a pizza parlor was
running some child ring out of the bit. They believe it,
and that's the danger of it. The only way to
(14:19):
save America is to shut social media down, and we won't.
We will not save our country. Democrats will not step
forward and say, yes, get rid of TikTok. You've then
been dicking around about that for months now. They said
by January first, if it wasn't sold, it's gone. And
(14:42):
then Trump extended it ninety days, and then he extended
it another ninety days. Mark Zuckerberg has been hauled up
in front of Congress countless times. He hasn't changed a thing.
And yet we know that Instagram and Facebook are detrimental
to our youth and detrimental to our psychic well being.
We know this. We know that social media fuels inadequacy,
(15:09):
that you feel inadequate because you see these twenty five
year old saying I'm buying a Lamborghinian, I'm doing this,
and I'm doing that, and you're struggling. We know that
it is bad, and now we have proven it by
making a separate social media platform, programming bots to post
(15:31):
on it, changing how those bots post, and still getting
the exact same outcome. Now, look, I know they say,
if you're a podcast, you're an entertainer, you have to
have social media. So I can't cancel my accounts, and
(15:51):
encouraging you to not go on social media would be
getting rid of followers, which if I want to get
booked at clubs, if I want my song to be
a success, I have to have followers. And yet, as
far as I'm concerned, social media is so bad for
you and America. I wish I didn't have to have
(16:13):
any of you use it at all. I wish there
was another way. And so again we are trapped. If
you're me, you're trapped. You have to have social media,
you have to to promote your stuff. You have to,
And yet it is the thing that is destroying us.
(16:35):
It is one of the biggest things dividing us. Just
look at the comments. I don't even know why I
post on social media. Every single comp Almost every comment
is homophobic or they attack my look, my neck, my teeth,
my lisp. It's hateful, it hurts, and yet I'm told
(16:59):
I have to do it. And now we know that
it's hurting us. But we know that cars are hurting
us and hurt the environment, we do nothing about it.
We know that Donald Trump is destroying our nation, the economy,
so many things. Nothing's done about it. There is so
(17:21):
much wrong that nobody is doing a thing about because
billionaires don't want us to, and so we all feel powerless.
In the chat room, people are saying they feel powerless.
We all feel powerless. That is a terrible way to live.
Angry and powerless every day. That's a terrible way to live.
(17:45):
And until democrats or independence or somebody with a spine
steps up and says this is a coup, we have
to remove them forcibly, if necessary. If someone stands up
to the billionaires and say you are responsible financially for
(18:06):
what is posted on your platforms. If you post disinformation,
you will be held financially responsible. Do you know I
had a post taken off TikTok three days ago and
do you know what they said. They said it violated
their terms of service for spreading misinformation. You know what
(18:26):
the post was. It was a one minute clip saying
that planet Earth is alive, that planet Earth is actually alive,
that it's a being, an entity, that it lives. They
took that post down on TikTok. They leave post up
by homophobes that say gays should be abolished, should be killed.
(18:48):
They leave those up. But a post that says planet
Earth is alive and that we must care for it
like a living being, backed by science, and they pulled down.
What does that tell you about the algorithm? When a
post about scientific evidence that our planet is alive and
(19:11):
therefore we must treat it with care gets pulled down
for violating their terms of service for misinformation. Yet a
preacher can put up a post that says women should
not have the right to vote, that men should vote
for their wives, that gays are evil. That can stay up.
(19:31):
But a post about planet Earth being alive, which I
appealed and they still upheld, goes against their terms of service.
What does that tell you about social media? I think
it sums it up. The algorithm is run by the
Chinese and Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trumps. Even chat GPT
(19:57):
now refuses to do some things for me that it
just two weeks ago. Social media must go. And still
we'll step forward and say it. Nobody nobody. Hey Carrel here,

(21:02):
forward slash, Really Correl. Thanks for almost thirty years of
support for the loudest, craziest, most unhinged gay guy and
his little dog. And let's keep the party going as
long as we can. So I mentioned at the beginning
(21:27):
about changing Drew barrymore has a much better time doing
her show than I than I do. Jennifer Hudson has
a much better time doing her show than I do.
Ellen had a much better time doing her show than
I do. You know, Graham Norton has an incredible time
doing his show. That's what I want to be doing that.
(21:49):
I want to be the American Graham Norton. You know,
if you don't know who he is, you should, you know,
I want to. I'm just I can't continue to cover
things where there's no hope of progress. We are not
going to get rid of social media in the next
five or ten years. We're not. We need to, We're
(22:10):
not going to. We are not going to treat Donald
Trump like it's a real coup, because it is a
real coup, and we're not going to treat it where
military will actually get involved and go in and remove
him and Maga as they should. I don't want to
hear about how well they were legally elected. I don't
(22:31):
believe that they were manipulated. Even if he did get
the votes, they the voters were manipulated through a disinformation
campaign from Russia. We have the proof Elon Musk contributed
so much money and spread so much disinformation with that money.
(22:51):
We have the proof. It's a coup and it's working,
and he is dismayed America, and no one will treat
it that way, and the people that do are looked
at as nuts crazy. If a Democrat came forward and
said this is a coup and we need to remove
(23:13):
Donald Trump from office, they wouldn't They'd get zero airtime,
no one would book them, no one would take them seriously.
He is stacking the midterms. If California turns down the
vote and doesn't allow California to redistrict, they will take
the midterms. And they're doing that, so no one challenges him.
(23:36):
It's a coup and he's getting governors to go along
with it. I secession should be on the table, if
you ask me, but no one's going to It's as
if we're content to watch our own demise, and I'm not.
(23:58):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
It's like live in Vegas. I have to go, I
have to go. I loved it at first, I don't
love it anymore. The summers are too brutal. There is
no sense of community here. There is no sense of
gay community here. I have not made a ton of
friends to fill up my house during the day. I
have gone from being one of the most social people
(24:20):
on the planet to barely seeing anybody. It's not healthy
for me. I have to move. I don't know how.
I don't have fifteen thousand dollars upfront to go rent
something in a new city and then put this up
for sale. And that's how that has to work. I
can't be here when I list this, there's too much stuff.
(24:41):
I have to take my stuff out to list it.
So I need to raise fifteen grand to pay three
months rent in some other city while I sell this.
I don't know what city. I don't even know if
that city should be in America. And I'm terrified at
that thought that I haven't acted. And that's what's wrong
(25:03):
with America, the same thing that's wrong with me. I
know I need to leave Las Vegas. I know I'm
not liking where America is headed, and I know that
I'll just have to make do with what I've got.
But the terror of that of going someplace where I
don't know anybody, of going someplace where I don't know,
(25:26):
the systems, don't know, the doctors, don't know, the veterinarians.
It's so overwhelming at my age, at sixty two years
of age, that I don't do it. I just stay
here and suffer. It was horrible walking this morning, ninety
three degrees at seven am in humid horrible. It's gonna
(25:46):
be one hundred and nine today. I can't. I just
can't do it anymore, and yet I stay. I am
the epitome of what's wrong with this country. I am
unhappy where I'm at, but my surroundings are beautiful, So
my little cage is gorgeous. So I don't mind being
(26:07):
in the little cage because it's beautiful. But I'm not
flourishing in this little cage. America is not flourishing under
Donald Trump. It is going backwards. But you're secure in
your little cage. You've got your income, You've got like
(26:28):
minded people around you, and so you don't do anything.
What can we do, carell. I don't know what did
they do in the American Revolution to start it? What
did they do in the Civil War to start it?
I don't know what is to be done, how to
start it, but somebody needs to start it, and I
don't mean violence. There has to be a political way
(26:50):
to quash the coup. There has to be. The founders
gave us a pretty great document, but they also told
us in the Declaration of Independence, whenever a government fails
to represent its people, whenever a government becomes out of control,
it is the duty of the government to change that government.
(27:12):
That's in the Declaration of Independence. We're not following the orders,
we're not following the instructions of the country. So what
do we do? What do we do? You know, you
can drink the water in Port of Arta, you can.
But Port of Arta in Mexico has screwworm outbreak. And
(27:33):
now I'm hesitant to go there with Steve and check
it out because of Ember. You have to have them
check for screwworm and it's a terrible disease and I
don't want her to get it. And while Port of
Arta has no cases, other parts of Mexico do. Plus,
I'm more of a European guy Ireland, Lisbon, Spain, France,
(27:55):
that Amsterdam. That's who I am. And so would I
moved to Amsterdam tomorrow if I could? Yes? But can
I I don't know. I guess if I raise fifteen
grand and rent a place in Amsterdam for three months
at like two grand a month, and so yeah, I
guess it could be done. Maybe I am just scared,
(28:16):
and maybe Democrats. Maybe Democrats know the gravity of what
needs to be done, so they're afraid to do it.
Maybe they know that there's a coup and that the
only way to stop it is to physically and forcibly
remove Donald Trump since Congress won't act, and Congress has
(28:37):
part of the coup. You know, other countries have removed
their congresses Japan. I can think of many countries that
have removed their congresses forcibly, sent soldiers in, took them out.
I don't even killed them, I mean, you know, escorted
them out of the building. Many a country has dissolved
(28:57):
their parliament or taken over their car. We won't because
Democrats are weak, and their weakness is costing us our nation.
You know, it is the weakness we don't have the
strength of our founding fathers. All right, well, I agree
(29:21):
that some gifts needs to get louder. Yes, yes, I agree,
all right, I'm reading in the Yes, Vegas and Arizona
are hell, they are, they are. I'm living in hell.
I am the driest state in the nation. Nevada the
largest warming city in the United States, Las Vegas. Yes,
(29:42):
I'm living in a dry healthcape and I want out.
I want out? But will I act? We're living in
a terrible nation. We all want out, but will we ACTU?
That's the ultimate question. Is I am Corel? You who
(30:04):
want to be something? Hurt? Anyboddy? We'll be back tomorrow.
Will I act? Will I change the show to be
more entertaining? Will I move? Will you well Democrat solve
the problem? Yes? Stay two, we'll see together.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
All right in just sixty seconds. The most fabulous I mean,
he's really something. The best, most fabulous host will be here.
He just tells the truth all the time, bigly. And
he's funny, this guy. Have you heard him? Yeah, he's
funny and smart, smart and funny, not like those nasty
(00:40):
people on lamestream media. So don't go anywhere. He's almost here.
I know he doesn't speak well of me, and that's
okay because I mean, he's really quite fabulous show.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What if we could prove everything we all think about
about social media that it is a cesspool of division
and an echo chamber. Well, scientists did just that. I'm
going to tell you about that. Also, I could save
your life with something on my desk right now. What
is it?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged. It's a cell cast. Listen daily
on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It is the crowd cast. I am COREL. Welcome on
this Wednesday. Do you find yourself at home a lot
by yourself? Do you live alone. Perhaps if you do,
I want to save your life. My friend Steve thought
I was ridiculous for buying this, by the way, but
I found out that fourteen people a day die at home,
(01:54):
usually at home, from choking, and a lot of them
are seniors or their children are seniors, and they're usually
you know alone. Now, outside November, I spend a lot
of time alone, so I got this. It is not
a sex toy. Okay, can you see it all? Can
(02:14):
you see it there? It is? Oh, it's got green
on it, so it's gonna fade into the background. But
this is an at home choking device. And what you
do if you're choking and you're alone, or if someone
in your house is choking, you get it. You put
it over the face securely like that. You push in
(02:36):
so all the air comes out this vent right here,
and then you pull back and when you do, the
suction pulls whatever it is out of the throat. You
have under two minutes when you're choking and you can't speak.
You can't call nine one one because you can't talk.
So they sell these on Amazon. They're about twenty five dollar.
(03:00):
They're called a home choking device, and I really want
everyone to go get one of these. Okay. I make
no money if you do. It's funny about the green screen,
by the way. I make no money if you do.
I have not gotten an endorsement for these or anything
like that. I just bought one for myself. It comes
(03:22):
to a package of two, and I want you all
to go get one, okay. And it comes to various
sized mouthpieces for you. I think there's even one that
would fit ever in case she's choking. So there you go,
start the show with a life saving device that could
save your life if you live alone. So I just
wanna because I love y'all and I want it. Yeah,
(03:44):
I want that to be put out there. Okay, Wow,
what's going on here in the chatroom at YouTube dot
com forward slash Really Carrell, just looking to see what's
going on. So I have a whole show for you
today about the scientists that designed an entire social media
platform that they then populated with bots. And they did
(04:08):
that so they could have the bots go in different directions,
you know, like for instance. Well, we'll get to it,
but what it says about social media, Well, I today
I deleted TikTok and Instagram, I deleted them. I will
post on them, I will read the comments on my post.
(04:31):
But that's it. No more scrolling, no more spending time
in the afternoon an hour looking through Instagram or TikTok.
No more getting angry that everyone else is having a
better life than me. David Hernandez is going to be
on local Las Vegas television and he's going to be
at the Fountain Blue and I know him, and you know,
why can't I get those dates and whatever? No more
(04:54):
of that. Got rid of TikTok, got rid of Instagram,
didn't get rid of my accounts. If if you follow
me and you post on my videos, I will see
your post and I will answer. I'm just not seeing
other people's It's not healthy for me. And that plays
into what I want to take this first segment to
talk about. I am going to be changing. I know
(05:17):
I have threatened to do this, but I am going
to be changing the show over the next month, and
I need every Patreon supporter to support me in the change.
I can no longer how do I say this. I
can't read the news when it relates to Donald Trump anymore.
(05:38):
I am dizzy right now. I've been bit dizzy for
two days. I don't know why, blood pressure or whatever.
I'm kind of afraid to go to the doctor. The
room is not spinning, so I'm not like that dizzy.
I just have a light headed feeling my night. My
nose is completely plugged. It could just be that simple.
But anyway, I find that I feel worse. I feel
(06:01):
worse about myself. I feel worse about the country. I
feel worse about the people around me when I read
the news, because all it is is the same news
over and over, war, war, war, and then Donald Trump
shaping America into an oligarchy, and his followers maga being
(06:26):
okay with that, defending it. Go read the comments that
I get on my videos. They're hateful, They're homophobic. People
are saying, yeah, Trump twenty twenty eight, that's against the constitution.
Anyone that posts that Donald Trump should run in twenty
twenty eight is not an American. In fact, they are
(06:48):
somebody we need. Okay. See, I'm starting to get there
is a coup going on, a real, live coup going
on in America. Trump has just installed lawyers and judges,
going around Congress, going around the courts. He's installing loyalists
(07:13):
in key judicial situations to back him up when people
try to stop him through the courts. Texas is going
to redistrict. So the Democrats leaving did nothing. They're going
to add five more Republican seats to the House because
(07:35):
he wants to cheat in the midterms so he keeps
the majority. This is a coup. There's no other word
for it. It's a coup. And why people like Gavin
Newsom and others are not actually raising military forces and
alliances to overthrow Donald Trump and his regime, I don't know.
(08:00):
He didn't win fair and square. We now have proof
that Russia supports him. We have proof that Russia right
this minute is putting out anti American propaganda on American
social media. We have proof of this. We have proof
that Elon Musk fumbled with the voting machines. We have
(08:20):
proof that Donald Trump is a Russian asset. Vladimir Putin
told him to get rid of voting machines and mail
in voting, and he's signing an executive order to do it.
He is a Russian asset, he is an oligarch, and
this is a coup. No one is responding appropriately, Nobody,
(08:43):
not one person in government is raising the specter that
we should remove him and if his people fight back,
we should beat them down with military force. No one
has talked about raising arms against mag that they are
letting Donald Trump raise arms through the National Guard against
(09:06):
anybody he doesn't like, including Gavin Newsom. But no one
is talking about using the National Guard to beat down
MAGA and to overtake Trump. There is a coup going
on in this country, and I know it, and a
lot of you know it, and we can't stop it.
(09:28):
You and I cannot stop it. And so, as my
friend David said to me the other day, which really hurt,
he said, well, you're trapped. You want to leave, but
you can't because of finances Vegas. It's nearly impossible to
sell my condo now. And I feel trapped here. And
(09:52):
so while I feel trapped in America, I can't keep
reading the news about Trump because no one is stopping him.
And I will never understand that. I don't mean someone
should assassinate him. I mean that the governors of the states,
at least the Blue States, should get together and get
(10:14):
their National Guard and go to DC and take him out,
remove him from office, remove every MAGA from office, but
they won't because they're not treating it like an actual coup.
And it is an actual coup. Want to support the

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Sorry I got so into the topic, I just went
right through the break. But there's an actual coup, and
this coup is fueled by social media. Now, social media
is nothing but a hatred echo chamber. Now, that's all
it is. It's divisive, homophobic, it's racist, it's bad. It
is bad for you as a human, and it's bad
(11:35):
for our culture. Scientists created a social media platform, okay,
and then they populated it with thousands of AI bots
that they could then program to do different things, and
within four days, every single time they ran a different simulation,
(11:57):
within four days, it devolved into exactly what it is
right now, a hate filled echo chamber of division of hatred, homophobia, misinformation,
and They tried everything. They tried. They tried a chronological
(12:17):
timeline where the things you see are happening in real
time and chronologically. You know what happened in that simulation,
fake news, fake media moved to the top. They tried
everything they tried, skewing it to where you couldn't post
anything hateful, and you know what happened. They got around
(12:40):
it every simulation they ran on social media, a social
media platform that they had created so they could have
a controlled environment. No matter how they programmed the bots
to interact on social media, it always ended the same way. Disinformation, hatred, bigotry, division,
(13:07):
and one big echo chamber for key talking points that
were often wrong. Now we know for a fact that
Russia has a huge misinformation campaign going on in the
United States. I'm gonna sneeze, sorry, And we know that
(13:33):
MAGA is most susceptible with their derangement syndrome, their Trump
They have Trump derangement syndrome. They are deranged. They believe
in this person that is someone no one should believe
in except a court to throw it to jail. And
they believe the misinformation. They believe Hillary Clinton is some
(13:57):
queen of all evil. They believe. They believe that Joe
Biden is some deep state plotter who did all of it.
They believe this stuff. They believed a pizza parlor was
running some child ring out of the bit. They believe it,
and that's the danger of it. The only way to
(14:19):
save America is to shut social media down, and we won't.
We will not save our country. Democrats will not step
forward and say, yes, get rid of TikTok. You've then
been dicking around about that for months now. They said
by January first, if it wasn't sold, it's gone. And
(14:42):
then Trump extended it ninety days, and then he extended
it another ninety days. Mark Zuckerberg has been hauled up
in front of Congress countless times. He hasn't changed a thing.
And yet we know that Instagram and Facebook are detrimental
to our youth and detrimental to our psychic well being.
We know this. We know that social media fuels inadequacy,
(15:09):
that you feel inadequate because you see these twenty five
year old saying I'm buying a Lamborghinian, I'm doing this,
and I'm doing that, and you're struggling. We know that
it is bad, and now we have proven it by
making a separate social media platform, programming bots to post
(15:31):
on it, changing how those bots post, and still getting
the exact same outcome. Now, look, I know they say,
if you're a podcast, you're an entertainer, you have to
have social media. So I can't cancel my accounts, and
(15:51):
encouraging you to not go on social media would be
getting rid of followers, which if I want to get
booked at clubs, if I want my song to be
a success, I have to have followers. And yet, as
far as I'm concerned, social media is so bad for
you and America. I wish I didn't have to have
(16:13):
any of you use it at all. I wish there
was another way. And so again we are trapped. If
you're me, you're trapped. You have to have social media,
you have to to promote your stuff. You have to,
And yet it is the thing that is destroying us.
(16:35):
It is one of the biggest things dividing us. Just
look at the comments. I don't even know why I
post on social media. Every single comp Almost every comment
is homophobic or they attack my look, my neck, my teeth,
my lisp. It's hateful, it hurts, and yet I'm told
(16:59):
I have to do it. And now we know that
it's hurting us. But we know that cars are hurting
us and hurt the environment, we do nothing about it.
We know that Donald Trump is destroying our nation, the economy,
so many things. Nothing's done about it. There is so
(17:21):
much wrong that nobody is doing a thing about because
billionaires don't want us to, and so we all feel powerless.
In the chat room, people are saying they feel powerless.
We all feel powerless. That is a terrible way to live.
Angry and powerless every day. That's a terrible way to live.
(17:45):
And until democrats or independence or somebody with a spine
steps up and says this is a coup, we have
to remove them forcibly, if necessary. If someone stands up
to the billionaires and say you are responsible financially for
(18:06):
what is posted on your platforms. If you post disinformation,
you will be held financially responsible. Do you know I
had a post taken off TikTok three days ago and
do you know what they said. They said it violated
their terms of service for spreading misinformation. You know what
(18:26):
the post was. It was a one minute clip saying
that planet Earth is alive, that planet Earth is actually alive,
that it's a being, an entity, that it lives. They
took that post down on TikTok. They leave post up
by homophobes that say gays should be abolished, should be killed.
(18:48):
They leave those up. But a post that says planet
Earth is alive and that we must care for it
like a living being, backed by science, and they pulled down.
What does that tell you about the algorithm? When a
post about scientific evidence that our planet is alive and
(19:11):
therefore we must treat it with care gets pulled down
for violating their terms of service for misinformation. Yet a
preacher can put up a post that says women should
not have the right to vote, that men should vote
for their wives, that gays are evil. That can stay up.
(19:31):
But a post about planet Earth being alive, which I
appealed and they still upheld, goes against their terms of service.
What does that tell you about social media? I think
it sums it up. The algorithm is run by the
Chinese and Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trumps. Even chat GPT
(19:57):
now refuses to do some things for me that it
just two weeks ago. Social media must go. And still
we'll step forward and say it. Nobody nobody. Hey Carrel here,

(21:02):
forward slash, Really Correl. Thanks for almost thirty years of
support for the loudest, craziest, most unhinged gay guy and
his little dog. And let's keep the party going as
long as we can. So I mentioned at the beginning
(21:27):
about changing Drew barrymore has a much better time doing
her show than I than I do. Jennifer Hudson has
a much better time doing her show than I do.
Ellen had a much better time doing her show than
I do. You know, Graham Norton has an incredible time
doing his show. That's what I want to be doing that.
(21:49):
I want to be the American Graham Norton. You know,
if you don't know who he is, you should, you know,
I want to. I'm just I can't continue to cover
things where there's no hope of progress. We are not
going to get rid of social media in the next
five or ten years. We're not. We need to, We're
(22:10):
not going to. We are not going to treat Donald
Trump like it's a real coup, because it is a
real coup, and we're not going to treat it where
military will actually get involved and go in and remove
him and Maga as they should. I don't want to
hear about how well they were legally elected. I don't
(22:31):
believe that they were manipulated. Even if he did get
the votes, they the voters were manipulated through a disinformation
campaign from Russia. We have the proof Elon Musk contributed
so much money and spread so much disinformation with that money.
(22:51):
We have the proof. It's a coup and it's working,
and he is dismayed America, and no one will treat
it that way, and the people that do are looked
at as nuts crazy. If a Democrat came forward and
said this is a coup and we need to remove
(23:13):
Donald Trump from office, they wouldn't They'd get zero airtime,
no one would book them, no one would take them seriously.
He is stacking the midterms. If California turns down the
vote and doesn't allow California to redistrict, they will take
the midterms. And they're doing that, so no one challenges him.
(23:36):
It's a coup and he's getting governors to go along
with it. I secession should be on the table, if
you ask me, but no one's going to It's as
if we're content to watch our own demise, and I'm not.
(23:58):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
It's like live in Vegas. I have to go, I
have to go. I loved it at first, I don't
love it anymore. The summers are too brutal. There is
no sense of community here. There is no sense of
gay community here. I have not made a ton of
friends to fill up my house during the day. I
have gone from being one of the most social people
(24:20):
on the planet to barely seeing anybody. It's not healthy
for me. I have to move. I don't know how.
I don't have fifteen thousand dollars upfront to go rent
something in a new city and then put this up
for sale. And that's how that has to work. I
can't be here when I list this, there's too much stuff.
(24:41):
I have to take my stuff out to list it.
So I need to raise fifteen grand to pay three
months rent in some other city while I sell this.
I don't know what city. I don't even know if
that city should be in America. And I'm terrified at
that thought that I haven't acted. And that's what's wrong
(25:03):
with America, the same thing that's wrong with me. I
know I need to leave Las Vegas. I know I'm
not liking where America is headed, and I know that
I'll just have to make do with what I've got.
But the terror of that of going someplace where I
don't know anybody, of going someplace where I don't know,
(25:26):
the systems, don't know, the doctors, don't know, the veterinarians.
It's so overwhelming at my age, at sixty two years
of age, that I don't do it. I just stay
here and suffer. It was horrible walking this morning, ninety
three degrees at seven am in humid horrible. It's gonna
(25:46):
be one hundred and nine today. I can't. I just
can't do it anymore, and yet I stay. I am
the epitome of what's wrong with this country. I am
unhappy where I'm at, but my surroundings are beautiful, So
my little cage is gorgeous. So I don't mind being
(26:07):
in the little cage because it's beautiful. But I'm not
flourishing in this little cage. America is not flourishing under
Donald Trump. It is going backwards. But you're secure in
your little cage. You've got your income, You've got like
(26:28):
minded people around you, and so you don't do anything.
What can we do, carell. I don't know what did
they do in the American Revolution to start it? What
did they do in the Civil War to start it?
I don't know what is to be done, how to
start it, but somebody needs to start it, and I
don't mean violence. There has to be a political way
(26:50):
to quash the coup. There has to be. The founders
gave us a pretty great document, but they also told
us in the Declaration of Independence, whenever a government fails
to represent its people, whenever a government becomes out of control,
it is the duty of the government to change that government.
(27:12):
That's in the Declaration of Independence. We're not following the orders,
we're not following the instructions of the country. So what
do we do? What do we do? You know, you
can drink the water in Port of Arta, you can.
But Port of Arta in Mexico has screwworm outbreak. And
(27:33):
now I'm hesitant to go there with Steve and check
it out because of Ember. You have to have them
check for screwworm and it's a terrible disease and I
don't want her to get it. And while Port of
Arta has no cases, other parts of Mexico do. Plus,
I'm more of a European guy Ireland, Lisbon, Spain, France,
(27:55):
that Amsterdam. That's who I am. And so would I
moved to Amsterdam tomorrow if I could? Yes? But can
I I don't know. I guess if I raise fifteen
grand and rent a place in Amsterdam for three months
at like two grand a month, and so yeah, I
guess it could be done. Maybe I am just scared,
(28:16):
and maybe Democrats. Maybe Democrats know the gravity of what
needs to be done, so they're afraid to do it.
Maybe they know that there's a coup and that the
only way to stop it is to physically and forcibly
remove Donald Trump since Congress won't act, and Congress has
(28:37):
part of the coup. You know, other countries have removed
their congresses Japan. I can think of many countries that
have removed their congresses forcibly, sent soldiers in, took them out.
I don't even killed them, I mean, you know, escorted
them out of the building. Many a country has dissolved
(28:57):
their parliament or taken over their car. We won't because
Democrats are weak, and their weakness is costing us our nation.
You know, it is the weakness we don't have the
strength of our founding fathers. All right, well, I agree
(29:21):
that some gifts needs to get louder. Yes, yes, I agree,
all right, I'm reading in the Yes, Vegas and Arizona
are hell, they are, they are. I'm living in hell.
I am the driest state in the nation. Nevada the
largest warming city in the United States, Las Vegas. Yes,
(29:42):
I'm living in a dry healthcape and I want out.
I want out? But will I act? We're living in
a terrible nation. We all want out, but will we ACTU?
That's the ultimate question. Is I am Corel? You who
(30:04):
want to be something? Hurt? Anyboddy? We'll be back tomorrow.
Will I act? Will I change the show to be
more entertaining? Will I move? Will you well Democrat solve
the problem? Yes? Stay two, we'll see together.
