Jim Breuer: [00:00:00] I can't stand Hollywood. I used to. That's what I started for. Right. You wanted it. I wanted it bad.

Speaker2: [00:00:09] You do a damn fine Joe Pesci impression. I'm Joe.

Jim Breuer: [00:00:13] Pesci. All right, I got a call. Who's. Who's this?

Speaker3: [00:00:16] You know who it is, you dirty rat fink. Well, first of all, you don't even sound like me, you rat bastard.

Jim Breuer: [00:00:23] So then I was like, Nah.

Speaker3: [00:00:25] I think I sound like you a little bit.

Speaker4: [00:00:28] People like you don't want to go to California. Communists are up and down the street.

[00:00:37] January 6th. Spy Balloon. Spy Balloon.

Jim Breuer: [00:00:40] Snl. I just saw Hollywood at its at its peak and bands, and I was just like, wow, it really is just a show. And hey, when you came. Get a better life than what you're doing right now. There is no better thing in life. You control your destiny.

Speaker5: [00:01:09] Okay. Thanks for coming in. The reason why you're here is because some of your recent posts have given off kind of the wrong connotations.

Speaker6: [00:01:20] I mean, I don't have, like an onlyfans or anything, if that's what you're trying to say.

Speaker5: [00:01:23] Well, it's been brought to my attention about these posts, such as this one.

Speaker6: [00:01:29] It's a good one.

Steven: [00:01:30] Not great.

Speaker5: [00:01:31] This one.

Speaker6: [00:01:33] Ooh, the bicep one. That was good.

Steven: [00:01:35] It's not. I'm not supposed to bend that way. That's a weird angle.

Speaker5: [00:01:38] And this one?

Speaker6: [00:01:41] I mean. Okay, fine. That's not the worst. It's not the best.

Steven: [00:01:44] Not the best. Or even close.

Speaker6: [00:01:46] I still don't understand what you're talking about. Taking separate.

Speaker5: [00:01:49] And apart. There's nothing ostensibly wrong with these, but the totality of all of these posts kind of gives the illusion that you're. What? How should I put this, Gary?

Speaker6: [00:02:01] Come on.

Steven: [00:02:02] Come on. Yes. Yes, Gary. That's what the totality is, Sam, who's very rarely right? I don't want to agree with him. He's. He's Russian. He doesn't get it. Come on, Gary. You know me, Gary. Okay. Who was it? Come on. Who was it who reached out to you from the daily wire to try and hire you?

Speaker6: [00:02:19] It was good time. Good time. Joe at Dailywire.com. Don't you see what's happening?

Steven: [00:02:25] He doesn't see. Don't you see what's happening here? Gary, He wasn't trying to hire you. He was trying to. You know, he's Russian. He doesn't get it. Yeah, you should get it if he's Russian. Well, look, you go to a Russian bathhouse, they hit you over the head with a hammer, and the chips fall where they may, Right? Well, you've been to Russia? No, he has not been to Russia. I've been to Russia. No one cares. Gerald, This isn't about you, Gary. Did he send you any follow up emails after that?

Speaker6: [00:02:47] No, I don't think so.

Steven: [00:02:48] He didn't try and reach out to you again? No, no, no. Check your spam. Spam, all the straight emails. Yeah, No.

Speaker6: [00:02:54] All right. He's definitely trying to.

Steven: [00:03:39] Oh, glad to be with you. I still have the red tide, so I apologize. I have a lozenges in my mouth. I don't know how to say that word correctly, but that sound means it's it's Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. Eastern. So that's when you can tune in. Don't rely on notifications. Don't rely on the subscription box. Bell Do you have the Monday through Friday ten? No, no, no. Wow. What a fantastic story. If you're listening, you know, you can hit the rumble button. But we have I realize I always have. I always say we have a lot to get to today. And people are like, that's like your equivalent of really big show, you know, really big. So it's a little. Sullivan There need to work on it. We're going to be talking about today Elon Musk and the CBC. Also his warning on I, I will admit, you know what? Before I do anything else, admonish me, please admonish me. I will admit, just do it now, Tim. Just just give need to wait. Admonish I was I don't want to say wrong about AI, but the the quantum leap has been so fast that it is far more concerning than I last week. Come on, what are you talking about? What? When? Last week. Last week or so. When you said you weren't really all that concerned.

Gerald: [00:04:44] And I was like, I don't know.

Steven: [00:04:45] I don't recall it, and I don't believe you can prove it.

Casey: [00:04:47] Did Rickles call you? He called you at home.

Steven: [00:04:49] The GPT. Rickles Yeah. I don't even know why we have that app, let alone installed it across the cloud. So we'll be talking about government funded media with the CBC as well as CNN by proxy here in the United States. Desantis is taking a war to Disney right now, which is very interesting because they're going super, super, super gay. Which another thing? How much more gay can they? Well, you know what? Hold on to your butts. And I want to ask you this. Who do you think is contributing most to the racial divide here in the country? That's the that's the question of the day, because there's been the Kansas City shooting that took place. It's being misrepresented by CNN. We'll get into that. And they are very selective in which shootings they cover and how they cover them. And they are flat out wrong. It's no longer can you attribute to ignorance what I believe can be attributed to to malice. So CNN, if you want a civil you want a civil race war, this is how you start a civil race war. We'll get to that and more. But first, Gerald, a number two, how are you?

Gerald: [00:05:40] I am doing much better than you. Sorry, you're still sick.

Steven: [00:05:42] Yeah, well, it turns out that talking for two plus hours isn't really good on the old vocal chords.

Gerald: [00:05:46] Well, I'm trying to work out why it's sick. That was a bad idea.

Steven: [00:05:48] Yeah, it was a bad idea. There's always a tipping point. And I tipped. And you know him. You love him. You saw his. His real there on the. The outset. We're really glad to have him here. You've been asking for him. You can check out his tour dates at Jim breuer.com May 6th and May 19th actually in Florida that's a is it where does it say May.

Gerald: [00:06:06] 19th is the one he really wants?

Steven: [00:06:07] May 19th in North Largo, Florida. Jim Breuer, how are you, sir?

Jim Breuer: [00:06:11] I'm doing great, Steve.

Steven: [00:06:13] You don't even look different from the old clips. You just have shorter hair.

Jim Breuer: [00:06:17] I have shorter hair. Maybe. Maybe a little more bags under the eyes.

Steven: [00:06:22] No, You always had sleepy eyes. So it's like that's that's the beauty of as you having them when you're young.

Jim Breuer: [00:06:27] I look high all the time. Yeah, it's a good thing. I love it. Which is a good thing because then, you know, people the they they they don't have high expectations. Well, police officers.

Steven: [00:06:37] No pun intended like sir, have you been partaking? Like, here's my license. Oh, jeez, I feel sorry for you. Okay, Just take that back. I'm sorry for asking. Yeah.

Gerald: [00:06:45] No ticket for you, sir. I apologize.

Steven: [00:06:47] Yeah. Where's my bags? Just keep getting worse. Sorry. It's like Tales from the Crypt. You used to be able to bounce a quarter off this. I looked like a Korean call girl. Now this All right. I said Korean call girl. A UN official said. Huh? Huh? Yeah, Yeah. I don't know if you know, the UN is filled with pedophiles. We're going to talk about that tomorrow. Thousands of pedophiles documented human rights violations across. You didn't know this. Yeah, We're going to talk about that tomorrow. There's a lot to get to this week. There have been a lot of carry over segments. But first, here is a middle aged man who is bragging about his. Girlfriend's hotness, which, by the way, first off, don't be a braggart. Secondly, see if you can understand why the boasting might be misplaced.

Speaker10: [00:07:35] Oh, no. We have a special guest is a lovely and talented Josh Walden who literally woke up like this. I am a very slept in.

Speaker6: [00:07:44] Slept in my clothes.

Speaker10: [00:07:46] The point is, you look. I do that often. You look very pretty.

Steven: [00:07:49] Let's go with that.

Speaker3: [00:07:51] People always ask us, What's your age gap? But why do you care? Just know the biggest gap in our relationship is between my teeth. Is your girlfriend? Woof.

Steven: [00:08:06] How did that guy wake up and just not feel the urge to putt putt golf? Here's the thing. That guy was watching Aladdin like the rest of us. And rather than having a crush on Princess Jasmine, he was like, I want to bang Jafar in the dungeon scene. That's what floats my boat. Terrible. We've gone past the point like, not everything is beautiful, first off. And this is for. For, you know, heteronormative couples, by the way. And not everything is worthy of praise. We reached this point where everyone thinks that they are worthy of self esteem. She wakes up this way. Do you mean crack bender or meth? Whatever your preference, whites are probably meth and.

Gerald: [00:08:41] Lack of teeth. Meth? That's probably.

Steven: [00:08:43] Yeah. Lack of teeth. That fits. If that was a man who still identified as a man, you'd say, Well, there's probably an eating disorder. Same thing with Dylan Mulvaney. And we just ignore it. Like, well, how about we look at the BMI? How about we look at the dental records?

Gerald: [00:08:56] I love how the age thing is cloaked by well, she's a he. I mean, he's a she. Yeah, that's what you should be focused on. She's my hot girlfriend. That used to be a man that he still calls Josh. I guess that's deadnaming on purpose.

Steven: [00:09:08] Jim looked very confused.

Jim Breuer: [00:09:10] You should be. I thought it was a sex trafficking ad, to be honest with you. I mean, if you look at the guy staring at her the whole time, it's like, text me now I get you a good price.

Speaker3: [00:09:24] It makes.

Steven: [00:09:25] Sense. That man's a UN ambassador, so that makes a lot.

Jim Breuer: [00:09:28] She's running for office somewhere.

Steven: [00:09:29] Yes, exactly. She's on a peacekeeping mission. Except she's at war with. She's at war with flossing. So let's go. Plaque has won that war. Let's go here to this is a theme today of, you know, why don't you trust your institutions? We're constantly blamed, right? We're all blamed. You don't trust your institutions. You don't trust the this government. A lot of people out there, they don't think that this was the most safe, secure and legitimate. Oh, by the way, if you see this YouTube dump button while you're watching on YouTube, if you see this. There you go. That means that what you're seeing on YouTube is still going on on Rumble. Because if you don't believe that these are the most free, fair, safe elections of all time, why do you mistrust your institutions if you think the media is biased? Why do you mistrust your institutions? Well, I grew up in Canada and I've talked about this for years. You don't need to go to Venezuela to have entirely government funded news. When I grew up in Canada, all we had was the CBC. It is government funded. So this brings us to, you know, with all of the crazy news that comes out of Canada, we figured that we actually need to turn it into a segment because it's very important to see it as a cautionary tale. It's America Lite. Elon Musk called them out. The prime Minister is mad about it. This is our first installment of No Canada.

Gerald: [00:10:47] That's nice. That's pretty simple. Not bad.

Steven: [00:10:49] Simple. Yeah. We'll probably need to add some lyrics to it. Still better than Gerald's? Yeah. It's still better than Gerald's stinger. You had.

Gerald: [00:10:54] Like, three minutes to do this one as well. I know.

Steven: [00:10:57] I know. I know. I know. You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, love. So last week, the Canadian opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, however you say it the right, wrong way in English, called for labeling of the Canadian Broadcasting Company, also known as the CBC as state media. Here you go.

Speaker11: [00:11:14] In a controversial move, social media giant Twitter has labeled the CBC's Twitter account as, quote, government funded media. The news was shared last night on Twitter by conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Kaliyev was the one who had asked Twitter to add that label to the CBC.

Steven: [00:11:30] And this is how they what they do in the media, right? It's a soft bias. They go, quote, government funded media. Well, who funds them? The government. So why the quote? I felt like it, but the quote would imply that I know what it implies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm pretty good at my job. So this weekend, Twitter marked CBC as, quote, 70% government funded media. And then the CBC protested, saying that they are less than 70% government funded. And this is why I love in autist billionaire being in charge because Elon Musk responded changing the label to 69%. Now, to be clear before you fact check it.

Speaker12: [00:12:10] It's actually 65.6%.

Steven: [00:12:12] So close.

Speaker12: [00:12:13] Yeah, so close, but so close. I think that's I think that's a little more accurate.

Steven: [00:12:18] Than what they would claim that they are not government funded. I love it. And a lot of people don't realize this. I talked about this, you know, in Canada, when people talk about the corporate media, the corporate media in the United States, yeah, it has its problems. But the alternative is government funded media that obviously the main benefit is decentralized media. That's why we're here. That's why we're on Rumble, by the way, Hit the Like button. If you're on YouTube or comment below, smash the rumble button. We want to bring as many of you over from YouTube to rumble as possible. That's the solution, but certainly not government media, which you see in socialist countries and in countries like like Canada and in the U.K. So Justin Trudeau, the prime minister over there, is obviously really mad about the labeling. He issued a statement there. Day I'm sorry. That's wrong. Here we have the right clip, right?

Speaker11: [00:13:07] We we have recently switched to drinking water bottles out of water out of when we have water bottles out of a plastic sorry, away from plastic towards paper.

Speaker10: [00:13:22] And Evo likes it.

Steven: [00:13:27] The researchers guys, you got have to be on top of the wrong clip. Sorry. This is again, Trudeau was responding to the labeling of government media. Here is the clip.

Speaker11: [00:13:33] Now, you sometimes hear about liberal bias in the media these days, how they're constantly letting off our government, letting our government off the hook for no good reason. Frankly, I think that's insulting. It's clear that they let us off the hook for a very good reason because we paid them $600 million.

Speaker12: [00:13:55] That's the.

Jim Breuer: [00:13:56] Third time. I'm sorry.

Speaker12: [00:13:57] Do we have the right clip?

Steven: [00:13:58] Yeah, I got it. I'm sorry, Jim. You deserve better than this. He's a guest.

Jim Breuer: [00:14:01] This is unprofessional.

Steven: [00:14:03] He's a guest in our house. Right? Right. Here's the one of Prime Minister Trudeau.

Speaker11: [00:14:08] Serves right across the country, delivers local news and local content in many regions of the country. That, yes, has been challenged over the past years. But the idea of adding to that challenges and laying on by attacking this Canadian institution. Attacking the culture and local institutions is important to so many Canadians. It really indicates the values and the approach that Mr. Polye is putting forward.

Steven: [00:14:44] See, they pulled the same trick. The institutions that Canadians value.

Jim Breuer: [00:14:48] It looked like he was. He looked like he was trying to hide from saying the people are catching on, that we're thieves and we slave them and we steal their money and we make them work and we, the peasants are rising. And we got to ban TikTok immediately. Too much information on there right now, people.

Steven: [00:15:10] I feel like I'm watching every Disney villain sidekick.

Speaker12: [00:15:15] Like.

Jim Breuer: [00:15:16] That's all I see when I watch these.

Steven: [00:15:18] Like, someone should smack you and be like, you'll.

Speaker12: [00:15:19] Reveal the plan.

Jim Breuer: [00:15:20] You rube change your face. You're giving it away. You're giving.

Speaker12: [00:15:24] It away. Yes.

Jim Breuer: [00:15:25] Master used the right words. Establishments government, which is a nice word for evil, demonic stealing and slavers. Therefore our the people.

Speaker12: [00:15:41] Well, here's the thing, too.

Steven: [00:15:42] And this will bring us to CNN afterwards, because they're doing the same thing in the United States again, because these people are this goes back to journalist again, Andrew Breitbart. You see his poster up there. He released something that was called journalist, I believe, in 2009, where the White House, then the Obama administration had a list of journalists who were used to disseminate the information that was favorable towards that administration, and they were told which stories to. This has been going on for a long time. The difference is in Canada, it is directly funded by the government. And you had this guy.

Speaker12: [00:16:08] Running for.

Steven: [00:16:09] Office. People who don't know this here and they bitch about the corporate media. Do you want the alternative to be when Trudeau was running? I think there was an NDP. I can't remember who was the NDP member, but someone said, And when I win.

Speaker12: [00:16:19] We will make sure to.

Steven: [00:16:21] Undergird our robust news media institution.

Speaker12: [00:16:24] $100.

Steven: [00:16:24] Million. And Trudeau said 150 million. Well, guess who won?

Speaker12: [00:16:29] They're buying media with your tax dollars.

Steven: [00:16:32] And just in case you don't.

Speaker12: [00:16:33] Think CBC.

Steven: [00:16:34] Is a joke, here are some of their best headlines. Quote, I use it accurately the pleasure and peril of snitching on your neighbors during a pandemic. By the way, it's always.

Speaker12: [00:16:44] Peril.

Steven: [00:16:44] Just so you know. Spoiler alert.

Speaker12: [00:16:47] How a non-binary.

Steven: [00:16:48] Winnipeg student lives with a mix of body euphoria and dysphoria. Well, I'm sure there's temporary euphoria from the drugs. And then why socialist Susan Neiman says Wokeism is not leftist. Okay. These are the headlines from the CBC Corporation, who, by the way, fly in the face of science. You're talking about a place where you have 14 day quarantine to come back into your own country. You're talking about vaccine mandates. You're talking about shutting off the bank accounts to truckers who are protesting their government. This is it's scary stuff. And Canada is really close to the United States and I mean close also as far as how they interact with the globe as a country. Sure, they're inconsequential. No one really cares about them. We should take them over without even skipping lunch. But the point is, it's the most similar culture and country to the United States that exists. And it's not that far off from where we are headed.

Gerald: [00:17:35] Well, don't don't forget his famous line that you don't have a right to gun ownership for you.

Steven: [00:17:40] Said you don't have a right to defend yourself.

Gerald: [00:17:41] Yeah. Defend yourself at all in Canada.

Steven: [00:17:43] A gun. He said that proudly.

Gerald: [00:17:44] Yeah, right. By the way, he shut the truckers funding off while saying they had a right to protest. Right. Until they ran out of money.

Steven: [00:17:50] Yeah, but by the way, let's bring down let's bring down the pike that digital centralized currency. So please Elon Musk, my favorite autist spoke last African to favorite African American. Is he American citizenship for I And hold on a second. Pause. Pause, pause, pause. We weren't ready yet to man. He spoke last night with Tucker Carlson, African American autistic genius. Also, by the way, we'll talk about this on Mug Club more later, which is this is the last free week of mug club with credit.com slash mug club. It's what allows us to bring people in like Jim, like Nick. He's going to be here Thursday, like Hodgetwins, like Brian Cowen. As we grow expand shows, please do consider supporting it. Elon Musk talked about the threat of AI as well in that same interview.

Speaker13: [00:18:34] If that's the case for AI and we're only putting regulations after something terrible has happened, it may be too late to actually put the regulations in place. The AI may be in control at that point.

Speaker12: [00:18:43] You think.

Speaker14: [00:18:45] That's real? It is. It is conceivable that I could take control and reach a point where you couldn't turn it off and it would be making making the decisions for people.

Steven: [00:18:54] So I was just making wardrobe notes from Tucker Carlson. I wrote down, No, no more bow tie.

Speaker12: [00:19:08] I don't know when he ditched it. So we'll talk about that more on Mug Club.

Steven: [00:19:11] Because I feel like, Jim, you can just go off on the AI thing. I was like, We need to give Jim a wide open lane and we'll talk about it on Yeah, because there's so much to get into. Yeah.

Gerald: [00:19:19] Is there something. No, no, I just. I can actually see Jim. Oh how he sits.

Steven: [00:19:23] Oh wow. Because he, he sits forward.

Gerald: [00:19:25] Yeah. Well, yeah. Normally I can't see who I'm talking to over there, so.

Steven: [00:19:28] Okay, well, you know what?

Speaker12: [00:19:30] Sit back. You don't need to admire him.

Steven: [00:19:32] So this brings us to, by the way, to another story that is reflective of American media. So you guys or you watching, listening, you may not have heard of this story. You probably did hear about it, but you didn't hear a lot of follow up the shooting that took place in Kansas City. And by shooting, I should frame this. Self-defense is what it seems to be. And this will bring us through the claim from the media and the truth. And they acknowledge gun violence in very specific ways and they deny it in other ways. For example, they'll tell you that there are 30, 40,000 gun deaths. They don't tell you that a huge portion of those are suicides. They don't tell you how many defensive uses of firearms exist. They don't tell you that when they tell you that children are the leading cause of death in children are guns, that the vast majority of them are aged 16 to 19. We've done segments on all of these, but here's a sort of a microcosm. An 84 year old Kansas City gentleman, Andrew Lester, has been charged following the shooting of a black teenager. So right away you hear the name Andrew Lester shot a black teenager. You know, a Walgreens is getting burned down.

Speaker12: [00:20:34] Somewhere.

Gerald: [00:20:40] He doesn't like. He's a CVS guy.

Speaker12: [00:20:42] Yeah, the Gillette.

Steven: [00:20:44] The the D perm spray is being put behind the glass case at CVS. So a shooting of a black teenager, which, of course, obviously anytime there's a loss of life, that's sad, thank God. Well, any time there could be. He was shot. I know he didn't lose his head as well. Initially, the media did report that he lost his life, but. Well, they did. But also because he was shot in the head. So I think it was kind of assumed. Was it like.

Gerald: [00:21:05] It must have been grazed? There's no way you get out the next day.

Speaker12: [00:21:07] Shot in the head. Well, you know what?

Steven: [00:21:08] There could be a silver lining. He could be like that one Bonneville.

Speaker12: [00:21:10] And where the bullet made him.

Steven: [00:21:11] Stronger as it got more lodged into his brain, you know, And that was a white guy.

Speaker12: [00:21:16] So Kansas City man Andrew Lester.

Steven: [00:21:19] Charged following the shooting of Ralph Earl, is a black teenager who mistakenly showed up at the man's house. This is what you heard.

Speaker12: [00:21:26] This one.

Speaker15: [00:21:27] Capturing the nation's attention. A white homeowner is now facing charges for shooting a black teenager who rang his doorbell. Now, Kansas City, this is how it was presented, opened fire on 16 year old Ralph Jarrell through his glass front door. That was last week. Y'all says that he went to the wrong house to pick up his younger brothers, and the homeowner started shooting almost immediately when he answered the doorbell. The family's attorney almost immediately says it's inexplicable that police released a suspect on the night of the shooting.

Speaker16: [00:21:54] Why have black people ring a doorbell and then have a white citizen shoot him in the head? First and then shoot him a second time. I mean, there is no way you can justify this.

Steven: [00:22:13] There are many ways.

Speaker12: [00:22:14] Yeah. Many, many, many, many, many ways. You can justify it now.

Steven: [00:22:18] You can't justify it if you just see the world through. White bad black. Good. Right? Right. White must be the assailant. Black must be the victim. And that's my concern with the AI. The people programming it don't actually value human life or intellectual diversity. They see everything through the prism of identity. This gender good, this gender bad, this race good, this race bad. There's no way to.

Speaker12: [00:22:37] Justify shooting.

Steven: [00:22:38] A man at your front. I can give you at least a million scenarios off the top of my head, and I wouldn't even break a sweat. It depends on the context. So let's walk through the claim, how they've presented it, and then we'll present to you what we believe to be the truth as the evidence is emerging. And the cops obviously believe to be the truth. And then we'll show you how the memory hold it once the truth started coming out with CNN. So the claim was that Ralph Earl was simply shot for knocking on the door. Cnn You saw the clip, but they said a white 84 year old homeowner who allegedly shot and wounded Ralph Earl, a black teen, after the 16 year old went to the wrong home to pick up his siblings. Like they just said, there's no appropriate scenario. Right? A white man shot a black man. This is what they do. And so, of course, because of that, within hours, a mob of protesters took to the streets to attack.

[00:23:25] What do we do when black lives are under attack?

Speaker17: [00:23:30] What do we do?

[00:23:31] Apparently nothing. Stand up. Stand up. See? Get the Indian drums. Yes. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up.

Speaker12: [00:23:46] Well, where's Nathan Phillips when you need him? I know.

Gerald: [00:23:48] Right there. Stealing his gig. By the way, when black lives are under attack. You know when black lives are under attack every weekend in Chicago, you pretty much aren't doing anything for that. But when one white guy answers the door that's 84 years old at night and shoot somebody, all of a sudden it's take to the streets, right?

Steven: [00:24:02] Yeah, exactly. What are we about to say there, Jim?

Jim Breuer: [00:24:05] Well, I just I'm always fascinated how quickly they organize drums and photographer. It's like a Dr. Seuss.

Speaker12: [00:24:12] They showed up with whistles and puzzles and.

Jim Breuer: [00:24:17] Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan!

Speaker12: [00:24:20] Yes.

Jim Breuer: [00:24:20] How did this form so quick?

Speaker12: [00:24:22] I know.

Steven: [00:24:23] That's amazing. What are you, the music man? Yeah, right. Like the shooting happened.

Speaker12: [00:24:26] 76 trombones and the big parade. Boom. I don't know what happened. The Bloods and the Crips shot.

Steven: [00:24:33] Out in South central LA. They started doing.

Speaker12: [00:24:35] Oklahoma. It's theater.

Steven: [00:24:39] So of course, a bunch of high profile leftists not waiting for the facts. This is what I say.

Speaker12: [00:24:42] Thoughts and prayers are.

Steven: [00:24:43] Actually appropriate sometimes rather than acting rashly. It's no longer a virtue, right? It's about being first. It's about being outraged first, which is why we actually try and wait. So you have Ibram X.

Speaker12: [00:24:53] Kendi tweeted, The white man who opened the door.

Steven: [00:24:55] Did not see a lost 16 year old boy.

Speaker12: [00:24:58] He saw a threat, shot Ralph twice, once in the head.

Steven: [00:25:01] To kill him. That's what I was saying. But he didn't kill him. He did not. Sean King, professional white guy, made subversive threats.

Speaker12: [00:25:07] Saying we have the name and the.

Steven: [00:25:09] Address of the man who shot Ralph Earl. Local whites are making excuses for the man. But what I clearly understand is that he never shot any of them. Just Ralph. So the.

Speaker12: [00:25:19] Only reason he.

Steven: [00:25:19] May not have shot other white people in the neighborhood and by some other white people, we mean every other human being he's ever encountered in his life, ever is because of their race. What about all of the other black people? What about all the other Latino people? What about all the other Asian people? Remember, stop Asian hate. What happened with that? No, no, no.

Speaker12: [00:25:34] Maybe there's some context here.

Steven: [00:25:36] Maybe it's because the man wasn't just at his door selling. They don't sell Girl Scout cookies. I think. Like they sell pine cones in the Cub Scouts. I don't know. Right now, it's really just the Cub Scout leaders going door to door saying, shh, don't tell.

Speaker12: [00:25:49] So who signed this NDA? That's their claim. Now, here's the truth.

Steven: [00:25:54] Okay? There are conflicting accounts of what happened. And again, what's important is the police, they talked about how the police just let them go, according to Andrew Lester's affidavit. And it does seem like it's more accurate. And again, it passes the reason test more. He opened the interior door and saw a black male, approximately six feet tall, pulling on the exterior door, storm door handle. He stated he believed someone was attempting to break into his house. So what he was saying is someone was trying to open his door. Right. Trying to open his door. Do we know at what time this occurred?

Gerald: [00:26:28] I don't know. But it seems like it was dark.

Steven: [00:26:29] It seems like it was dark out at night. And again, this is something first off, let's let's assume that this is all that happened. Well, what's the law of the state? Do you have the right to stand your ground? And does the context matter if he's trying to open the door and trying to get into the house? If you're an old man in your house and you don't have someone else who can protect you or you don't have a dog, you should obviously have a dog. That's what I recommend. First and foremost, you probably feel the need to protect yourself. Yeah, who knows what could happen here? Do you. Do you have to wait now.

Speaker12: [00:26:55] Until you become a victim? I'm not saying that this is an ideal scenario, but the idea that.

Steven: [00:26:59] He was just going around pulling, pulling a death wish. Bronson does not seem to be the case. And it doesn't pass the sniff test. And it didn't pass a sniff test for the cops. Oh, no, wait.

Speaker12: [00:27:08] The cops are racist. Why do you mistrust your institutions?

Steven: [00:27:11] You shouldn't trust the cops. Well, depending on which cops, by the way, if they're coming by to take your children, to send them to CPS because they're not transitioning, you should trust the cops. Or if they're coming to take your guns away, you should trust the cops, but you.

Speaker12: [00:27:19] Should trust your media. You should trust your administration. You should trust the CDC. But why don't.

Steven: [00:27:23] You trust the cops who said that this man was justified? You should trust Don Lemon.

Gerald: [00:27:27] Well, why don't we just get an unbiased report on it? Right. Because this what he said is that he shot twice in a matter of a second or two is what he said in his statement. Right. A couple of seconds. Really quick. Bang, bang, not double tap. He didn't go up like gangster style and shoot. It was to make sure he finished it and then he ran away. And so he immediately the homeowner picked up his phone and called the cops. Yeah. So this wasn't like, Oh, goody, a black guy is at my door. Right? That's not what this seems to be. And that's what the media is portraying. They're going to use that as a sound bite on me. You have no idea.

Jim Breuer: [00:27:55] The hell. Oh, boy. I've been waiting for this day for a long time. For a.

Speaker10: [00:28:00] Long time.

Jim Breuer: [00:28:02] I'm going to get him with my one good eye.

Speaker12: [00:28:04] Yes. This revolver.

Jim Breuer: [00:28:07] My non saggy eye. I'll show.

Speaker12: [00:28:09] Him. It's the last time those people of color call me Pruneface from Dick Tracy.

Jim Breuer: [00:28:17] I'll show.

Speaker12: [00:28:17] Them. It's Mr. Peabody's revenge. Bang, bang. Oh, so CNN covered.

Steven: [00:28:26] This story nonstop for 24 hours. Yeah. While complaining. Lately ignoring what's been happening in Chicago. In case you.

Speaker12: [00:28:35] Forgotten.

Steven: [00:28:36] Here's a quick reminder. They'll. No.

Speaker4: [00:28:53] All right, Come over here.

Steven: [00:28:55] And notice the only thing we talked about yesterday, The only thing that gets them to scatter. And by them, I mean the rioters was a gunshot, which, of course, they want to remove from you in Chicago. Think about this for a second. We just talked about Washington state. They're going to be basically taking kids away from parents. If the parents don't give them gender affirming care, don't give them sexual transition surgeries when they're young. Right. And then they want to disarm you. It's a really, really scary time in this country. And what's even more important is, is how few times they addressed some stories out there that are of more relevance and again, more relevance to you because disputes happen. Let's just kind of take off the table the fact that they're lying about this. But disputes happen, but there are things that affect you. For example, hey, maybe you shouldn't go into this neighborhood. Hey, do you have children? Maybe you should make sure that you get your children out of this area because there's there is disregard for human life and violence. Instead, because of a political agenda, they don't cover those, which, by the way, harms you as an actual citizen. Why don't you trust your institutions? That's what's scary. And here's a clip. I warn you, if you're watching, this is a PG 13 show anyways. If you have kids, they probably shouldn't watch this. It's pretty disturbing. It shows a gang of. Yeah, look, a gang of young since they're doing the black. Young black youths.

Speaker12: [00:30:10] And the reason I.

Steven: [00:30:11] Mention this is because.

Speaker12: [00:30:11] This is statistically far more common.

Steven: [00:30:13] It's statistically far more common when you look at interracial crime statistics, which they decided to stop reporting accurately in 2016, that young black men are far more likely to attack a white woman than an old white man is a young black man. That's a statistical reality. Again, I say that because I think it's information that matters to you and your day to day life. Here's a video of a group of black young men attacking a white woman in that this should make your blood boil. Watch out. Now, here's the thing. I don't know the context there. I know the woman would have been safer if she hadn't been there for sure. Did she think did she know that she was walking into a violent mob or did she follow CNN because this matters? Do you know how many times CNN has mentioned what's been going on in Chicago? Do you know how many times in the last two days? Nine times. Compared to the mention of the.

Speaker12: [00:31:23] Kansas City shooting.

Steven: [00:31:26] Shooting self-defense 57 times. Geez. So nine versus 57. Here's something even more. It's actually eight because one of the only mentions of Chicago came from a Republican governor, Chris Sununu, talking about mass shootings.

Speaker15: [00:31:40] If you you don't you have no concern about.

Speaker14: [00:31:43] Oh, of course, we have concern about sensible gun laws.

Speaker15: [00:31:46] Oh, of course.

Speaker14: [00:31:46] Look, so folks talk about, let's say, a red flag law. Okay. Let's take a place like Chicago. They have one of the most restrictive red flag laws in the country. They have some of the highest rates of gun violence. I think a red flag law has been implemented less than a dozen times in the past couple of years. So it's easy to say, yeah, we'll just, you know, take the guns from those with mental illness, but it's much harder to actually implement. The realities of that are much more.

Speaker15: [00:32:08] It's not just about taking.

Speaker12: [00:32:08] Guns. It's his name, Chris Sununu.

Steven: [00:32:10] Sununu I said, Sanu.

Gerald: [00:32:12] That was not your fault.

Steven: [00:32:13] You should admonish me on that. I made a.

Speaker12: [00:32:14] Note.

Steven: [00:32:15] I've only ever read his name. I've never actually heard it pronounced because I don't live in New Hampshire and I don't care about them.

Gerald: [00:32:19] Yeah, they have a primary.

Steven: [00:32:21] So 57 times mentioned that one incident between two people in Kansas City eight times on CNN. Do they mention Chicago, which by the way, could keep what if they discussed Chicago? Right. Instead of posting maps to the private residence or having guests who've posted maps to the private residence of Mr. Lester? How about they post crime maps of Chicago.

Speaker12: [00:32:41] So that people know which areas to avoid?

Steven: [00:32:44] What if they did that 57 times instead of lying eight times and one time mentioned by that governor?

Speaker12: [00:32:50] Hey, comment below hit the like you think that might be useful? Do you understand.

Steven: [00:32:54] That this isn't just about the news lying, it has direct impacts on you. And then the more upset that you.

Speaker12: [00:33:01] Become, they blame.

Steven: [00:33:02] You. It really is. It's like quintessential narcissistic behavior. They blame.

Speaker12: [00:33:05] You. Well, I didn't mean it that way. Well, that was actually an accident. And actually, if you take that as an accident, look what you made me do.

Steven: [00:33:13] That's the sequence of events. Well, and I think.

Gerald: [00:33:15] The frustrating part for us is that we want to wait for context on every single one of these cases. But when you come out and say white man shoots black kid, right? You don't give us the opportunity. Now we have to go, Wait a minute, was this a racially motivated thing? Because that's exactly what you're saying. And that's what stirs people up and that's what gets protests going and Walgreens getting burned down like we talked about a minute ago, when it could just be a case of I don't know that Ralph did anything wrong, by the way, he may have genuinely gone to the wrong house, pulled on the door because he thought he was may have given permission. All that could be true. But we can't sit here and think about it because you guys have told us it was a white guy.

Speaker12: [00:33:47] And by the way.

Steven: [00:33:48] All that could be true and it could mean it still doesn't mean that Lester is a racist. Exactly. It could still mean that he saw a strange man, Right? You know, jiggling the handle on his door, trying to get in. He didn't know what was going on, got scared, and maybe he made a mistake.

Gerald: [00:34:00] Yeah, it's all of those things are possible.

Jim Breuer: [00:34:03] Even Ralph, the kid, he's a street kid, right? If I'm a street kid and I'm at a door and I see a white older man approaching, and clearly I could tell if he's stressed, I would say, Hey, man, I. I may be at the wrong. I'm looking for my little brother. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of elements, but you're hitting on a subject where I'm glad what you're doing because when it comes to media, media should be instead of saying media news, it should say so. The demons said today, Yes, Don Lemon is a pure, demonic, evil human being. Yeah. Anyone fund their demons. And the minute you take away the word news and media and say so, let's see what the demons are trying to do, people will start comprehending more because that's all they are. They shouldn't have the word media. It's too friendly and nice.

Speaker12: [00:34:52] You know what? I agree with you demons.

Steven: [00:34:54] And it's not even Alex Jones in that show in that chair Demons.

Jim Breuer: [00:34:57] Today we're going to start.

Speaker10: [00:34:59] A race war. A white man shot a black kid.

Jim Breuer: [00:35:03] Go get the trombones and the drums. Bam, bam, bam, bam.

Gerald: [00:35:11] Bam. They've got him at the ready. Don't let them.

Jim Breuer: [00:35:14] See the real takeover.

Speaker12: [00:35:16] Go grab, go grab them.

Steven: [00:35:17] Gram for gram.

Speaker12: [00:35:18] For my drum and.

Steven: [00:35:19] Trombone shed.

Speaker12: [00:35:20] It's dedicated to just those items. Where's Al Sharpton? Yes.

Steven: [00:35:24] Don't worry about the prompter. He can't use it anyway.

Speaker12: [00:35:26] There was a shooting of a white. Many Oh black you to this morning. You think we in Chicago. Son of a bitch who's messing with the prompter again? No one's messing with the prompter. Yeah, he is. Give him a drum set so nobody.

Steven: [00:35:50] Hears.

Speaker12: [00:35:51] Something else, too. By the way, we'll talk about this.

Steven: [00:35:52] More later this week. This deserves a bit of a deep dive. Yeah, I think it's important to stop using the mass shooting numbers that the left wants you to use. Okay. They all try and say consistently that there have been more mass shootings than there are days this year. That's not true. They've changed the definition of mass shooting. Okay. So the definition that they're using, a mass shooting, it comes from the, quote, Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012. And the term mass killings means three or more killings in a single incident with mass shooting, I believe it's three or more injured. That was a change from the FBI definition, which was a mass murder is usually a number of murders, four or more occurring during the same incident. So the numbers that they use and by the way, even before that, what you would consider a mass shooting, being someone who actually walking in and shooting a massive amount of people, That's not what we're talking about. The vast majority of these mass shootings that they categorize to tell you that they need to ban your AR 15. First off, don't use long rifles. They're Intergang gang related violence in places like Chicago and Los Angeles, where three or more people get shot, but then they don't tell you about what's going on in Chicago or in Los Angeles. So we need to stop using those numbers because it doesn't actually reflect what they want you to believe is the threat.

Speaker12: [00:37:01] If you believe that there are two, three, four mass shootings.

Steven: [00:37:04] Like Columbine, like Sandy Hook every day, it would be far more easy for you to get behind a magazine ban if you believed that it worked. When you understand that the huge portion of these are really into gang related violence incidents or workplace incidents or fights that break out between people who happen to have firearms in certain areas of the country, you.

Speaker12: [00:37:23] May actually come to the opposite.

Steven: [00:37:25] Conclusion that you should be allowed to protect yourself.

Speaker12: [00:37:28] Hey, isn't that important? That's your job.

Steven: [00:37:29] Media Smash the rumble button if you're watching on Rumble right now, because that helps with the I don't even know if the rumble algorithm matters. Just watch it Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. Eastern. Actually a little.

Gerald: [00:37:37] Bit more fair. We can actually get the live views. But isn't it interesting they want it instead of saying gang violence, they want it to be mass shooting. Why is that? When you think mass shooter, what are we always told? It's some white guy who's, you know, messed up. Now, that's not always the case, but it's always some white guy going and doing a mass shooting. When you think of gang violence, what do you think.

Steven: [00:37:54] Messed up, white guy? Oh, of course.

Gerald: [00:37:56] Yes. Right, exactly. On the streets of South Central LA, it's definitely a I saw West.

Steven: [00:38:01] Side Story.

Speaker12: [00:38:02] Go so Damn Jets.

Gerald: [00:38:03] It's pushing this narrative again, like if we could focus on gang violence. But the problem with gang violence is that it's predominantly black on black gang violence that we would have to be talking about. And we can't talk about that. So we have to call it mass shootings. So people think of white guys and everybody's safe, right?

Steven: [00:38:16] It's science. Yeah. And we have to ignore the massive amounts of trans shooters recently. And by the way, this is very reminiscent. We don't have all the facts. Like we said, there are still multiple scenarios where this I can tell you this. Okay, I'm willing to hang my hat. It's not what CNN told you that a white guy just walked to the door and shot a black guy for no reason. I guarantee you that's not the case. Maybe it was an early shoot. Maybe it was a bad shoot. It doesn't mean this guy is racist. He certainly wasn't going out hunting black people. I don't know if you know this. Probably the best place to hunt black people, if you are a racist is not in your living room.

Speaker12: [00:38:45] So I don't buy it. But it's very.

Steven: [00:38:46] Reminiscent of Michael Bryant. Remember that story, Michael Bryant, where the cops showed up? Oh, man. When she was she was the one who was stabbing.

Gerald: [00:38:52] She was about to stab a girl. A cop committed.

Speaker12: [00:38:55] A heroic another.

Steven: [00:38:55] Black girl who called the cops. She was about to stab the girl. The cop shot her, by the way, while she was mid stab. And just so you know, if you're.

Speaker12: [00:39:03] Watching on YouTube, our episode on Michael Bryant, where we supported the police officer.

Steven: [00:39:07] Was removed because they said it was reveling in the death of somebody. No, we were reveling.

Speaker12: [00:39:11] In the saving.

Steven: [00:39:12] Of an innocent life that was about to be stabbed.

Gerald: [00:39:14] And by the way, LeBron James immediately tweets out the face of white supremacy or the face of racism, the cop's face, basically, who had shot without having any of the facts at all. Right. About what was going on. Unbelievable. That cop should have been celebrated. He got there and immediately within seconds.

Steven: [00:39:30] So CNN covers it a very specific way. So does so does ABC, NBC, CBS, Right. All the main news outlets. And then when we say, hold on a second, we actually have footage. At that point it was breaking that this girl was in the process of going stabby, stabby with another black girl who had called the cops and the cops.

Speaker12: [00:39:46] Saved that black girl's life. We get removed, by the way.

Steven: [00:39:49] Not just us. It's just what, right? We're standing in the way as the old adage you write.

Speaker12: [00:39:54] Comment below your.

Steven: [00:39:55] Post on Michael Bryant got removed. A lot of you when you tried to correct the record had that removed. Why? Well, because, of course, media, big tech, they work in the same industry. And of.

Speaker12: [00:40:03] Course, they take their calls to.

Steven: [00:40:05] Action from the government.

Speaker12: [00:40:06] Karine Jean-Pierre, See what we know.

Steven: [00:40:08] What's going on with Twitter right now is Elon Musk is revealing. See, when Jen Psaki said that Spotify needs to work with the White House to better censor content, see what they did with YouTube and removing the dislike button because nobody likes watching Biden's shitty speeches as he soils himself.

Speaker12: [00:40:21] See all of these examples?

Steven: [00:40:23] It's not a conspiracy when it's happening out in plain sight. We're going to move on here to Disney gay stuff. Jim it's Jim breuer.com right what your podcast is on Friday.

Jim Breuer: [00:40:32] Too, right? Yeah. Everywhere. It's on Friday. Yeah. Okay.

Steven: [00:40:35] Youtube. Jim. It's Brewer verse.

Jim Breuer: [00:40:37] Brewer Bruno verse really bothers people. Don't know how to say it's just universe, but I put Brewer in front.

Steven: [00:40:43] Put Brewer in front of it.

Jim Breuer: [00:40:43] Bruno, I love it.

Steven: [00:40:44] Give it your own little spin. Yeah, a little Bruno verse.

Speaker12: [00:40:47] Little. Yeah.

Steven: [00:40:48] And that's North Largo. It's May 19th. May 19th? Yeah.

Jim Breuer: [00:40:51] It's my first and only show I did by myself.

Steven: [00:40:53] Now your kids are. They're all way older than Disney Age now.

Jim Breuer: [00:40:57] Correct. But we used to go there all the time to Disney DVC Member Really? Yes, I am. You still.

Steven: [00:41:02] Are?

Jim Breuer: [00:41:03] Well, yeah, because you, you know, they get you for like 30 years. Oh.

Gerald: [00:41:07] Oh. What is that? What is.

Jim Breuer: [00:41:08] That? You're a Disney vacation club member, so you gotcha. And I would give it to France and blah, blah, blah. But no, we we would go to Disney all the time. But now we got rid of all our Disney stuff.

Steven: [00:41:19] And no one was. None of your children were ever eaten by a by an alligator. No.

Speaker12: [00:41:23] So you got out. So they could have been. They could have been.

Jim Breuer: [00:41:26] Where that kid got it. We used to let we would hang out right there. Geez, You know.

Speaker12: [00:41:33] Right by the don't hang out here sign because of alligators. No, no, no.

Jim Breuer: [00:41:37] I mean, listen, there are signs and, you know, but you're a little kid. You're not really paying. You think Disney, you're super safe. There's no there's no there were no fences. It was just your it's an open beach and there's there's boats there and all that. And your little two year old toddler is playing along and next thing you know, it's you're out.

Steven: [00:41:57] I don't know. But still to me, they've been around for a long time. One alligator death in the state of Florida to me is still remarkably stable. I don't want to fault them. That's a pretty good track record.

Jim Breuer: [00:42:05] It's a good track, at least the one that they told you.

Speaker12: [00:42:07] Yes. Well, that's a powerful mobster.

Steven: [00:42:11] Interns don't count. Yeah. So Ron DeSantis and this is an important segment because I think look, I think there are a lot of people out there who like both Ron DeSantis and and Donald Trump. And I think that a lot of people are on the fence going, who's the best candidate for the job? And I think there are some contrasts here that are interesting. But first, let's talk about Disney. So in case before we get to this, you were wondering just how woke Disney is now. This is Disneyland, but then we'll go to Disney in Florida and what DeSantis is doing in Disneyland, California, they just added now pride after dark nights.

[00:42:46] Hahahahaha. Fake labia nights and chicks with dicks days. It's a lot of things. It's hot. I swear that it's not. It's. It just came.

Speaker12: [00:43:03] Together really quickly. Thank you, Ben.

Speaker3: [00:43:12] He went above and beyond.

Speaker12: [00:43:14] He really did. Can we do it again? I don't want to be.

Steven: [00:43:16] Self-important, but so of course, I'm not saying this is our friend Ben, where I was like, Hey, I just wrote these lyrics. I'm like, Hey, could you do this? And he was like, Fake Arabian Nights.

Speaker12: [00:43:22] Yeah, I'll give it a shot. And then I just heard that for the first I wrote, I wrote Let's hear it again.

[00:43:30] Fake labia. Now Chicks with deep space. Love thinks it's hot. I swear that it's not. It's rather just okay.

Steven: [00:43:45] It's like, I don't know if.

Speaker12: [00:43:47] He sounds like the. The Arabic singer Robert Goulet. Yeah.

Speaker5: [00:43:50] Combination. Yeah.

Steven: [00:43:51] Hybrid.

Speaker12: [00:43:53] All right. This is a silly show. It is.

Steven: [00:43:56] If you enjoyed that, hit the like button or comment below on on on YouTube. It's you know, when it's a slow news day sometimes I like slow news days because we can expand on some subjects here so yeah hold on a second. Cough button.

Gerald: [00:44:07] Oh no.

Steven: [00:44:08] Oh I don't know if, you know, Casey was gagging when I coughed and he heard a gurgle, he was like.

Casey: [00:44:13] I saw the spit just come out of your mouth into the napkin. Oh, yeah. Make himself.

Steven: [00:44:18] Gag. He's going to make himself. He has a worst gag reflex, Casey. Last week, he can't see bananas.

Speaker12: [00:44:23] People thought it was fake. We had him.

Steven: [00:44:25] Eat a tool man, eat a banana, and he threw up in a bucket.

Speaker12: [00:44:28] Multiple times.

Jim Breuer: [00:44:29] Where are you going to do when your dad starts dropping a deuce and you got to clean it? That's a that's a whole different game.

Gerald: [00:44:35] He's totally fine with that.

Speaker12: [00:44:36] That's okay, man. You'd be surprised as.

Steven: [00:44:38] To what doesn't gross him out. He wakes up in a puddle of his own filth, but a banana sends him over the edge.

Casey: [00:44:43] Yeah, I love it. Which guy?

Steven: [00:44:45] Yakuza. Right there with the vans hat over there.

Jim Breuer: [00:44:48] He's still young. He needs some.

Steven: [00:44:50] He's actually a lot older than he looks. He looks incredibly young. Really? Yeah. Do you mind? You don't mind if I reveal your age, do you? It's like 40, 44.

Speaker12: [00:44:57] 37, right? Yes.

Steven: [00:44:58] Yeah, we'll go with that. You would pass. Oh, you're 38. Oh, damn it.

Jim Breuer: [00:45:03] You got to. You got to break him of this, Steve. And I think the way he do it is like you do like, you know, if you're scared of heights, you bring people to heights. If you're scared, maybe you should do a whole gag episode to break him out of this. Like a psychological.

Steven: [00:45:16] Thing. Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's called contact therapy. And we can kill two birds with one stone. Do the gag contact therapy at the same time. Get you over your fear, your homophobia. Why?

Casey: [00:45:24] Yeah, yeah. Like.

Gerald: [00:45:27] Like just bananas in another form, my friend.

Speaker12: [00:45:31] Contact therapy night.

Casey: [00:45:35] Stop. Jim, stop, Stop. Jim. Jim's getting him it.

Speaker12: [00:45:39] He is so.

Steven: [00:45:40] Easy. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done it. It's.

Speaker12: [00:45:41] He's so easy to make gag. All right, all right. Okay. So on.

Steven: [00:45:43] Monday, Governor Ron DeSantis threatened a bunch of out-of-the-box sort of expansion projects that are in the Disney World's special district. Here's a clip from Governor Ron DeSantis. This guy really just does not give a rat's ass in facing the behemoth that is Disney.

Speaker12: [00:46:01] We maybe have another maybe create a state park, maybe.

Speaker14: [00:46:05] Try to do more amusement.

Speaker12: [00:46:07] Parks. Someone even said like, maybe you need another state prison.

Speaker14: [00:46:11] Who knows? I mean, I just think that the the.

Speaker12: [00:46:13] Possibilities.

Speaker14: [00:46:14] Are endless. And so that is now.

Speaker12: [00:46:16] Going to be.

Speaker14: [00:46:17] Analyzed to see what.

Speaker12: [00:46:19] Would make make.

Speaker14: [00:46:19] The most sense.

Speaker12: [00:46:20] And and that wasn't necessarily even on our on the radar.

Steven: [00:46:24] It's pronounced analyzed. But his team also released some pictures of what the prisons interior might look like. So that's something we're fortunate to have. Yeah.

Gerald: [00:46:34] Oh, geez.

Speaker12: [00:46:36] Yeah.

Gerald: [00:46:39] Something's going to happen.

Speaker12: [00:46:40] He's especially good at the drag Queen story. My, what a chick.

Steven: [00:46:46] Oh, my God. I'm just so.

Speaker12: [00:46:48] Tired. He's like, Yeah.

Gerald: [00:46:49] You got some nice land there. I think we might be able to use that for the state. Yeah, put a park.

Steven: [00:46:54] And this comes from the fact that and this is your home state, obviously, Mr. Brewer DeSantis was announcing this new legislation. Well, some a bunch of legislation, but this is kind of one of the more recent ones aimed at eliminating Disney's self-governing power. This comes from a local affiliate. There is a bill that would put that would be put out in Florida, sorry, the Florida state legislature that will make sure that the agreements purported to be entered into by Disney are revoked and the people will the people's will is established and is upheld. And just to keep in context, this little warm people are like, oh, libertarians will say, oh, why?

Speaker12: [00:47:26] Why do you want the government to step in now? Well, no, no.

Steven: [00:47:29] This one of the legitimate purviews of government is to protect its citizens. And by the way, states have different rights than the federal government, right? The state can do more than the federal government can. This all started over Disney's public opposition to Florida's parental rights bill, just to be clear. And that was that parents have the right to know what their children. That's from an NPR there. Yeah, hoodie parents have the right to know what their children are learning and that you will not discuss sexualized topics with children's ages K through 12 that.

Speaker12: [00:47:58] Was so offensive and so beyond the pale that Disney felt.

Steven: [00:48:02] The need to come out and speak out against.

Speaker12: [00:48:04] It. So what are they doing? Disney is saying, No, no, no, no.

Steven: [00:48:06] It is a requirement in a free society, in a progressive society.

Speaker12: [00:48:12] That we hypersexualize.

Steven: [00:48:13] Your children ages K through 12. That's what Disney did. And so Ron DeSantis said that is actually violating the principle of hurting our population, most notably our children. And it's our job as the government to ensure that you don't do so.

Speaker12: [00:48:29] Entirely appropriate. Yeah. By the way, I think.

Gerald: [00:48:31] It was actually worse. I think it was a K through three or K through fourth grade that they were actually saying that they couldn't K through three. Yeah. So when you say K through 12, it's like, oh, 18 year olds can't. No, no, no, no, no, no. We're talking eight year olds. Oh sorry. Nine year olds talking about these things with their teachers.

Steven: [00:48:44] K through three. I apologize. You should admonish me, but close. No, no, you can admonish me. No. All right. He wants it. Give me.

Casey: [00:48:53] Admonish. No, no, no.

Gerald: [00:48:54] Go with the bigger admonish. No, no.

Steven: [00:48:55] That's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one. We'll get a bigger one later. Last free week of mug club with credit.com. Slash mug club. Also, it's the only place where you get to watch the Friday show. Yeah. Shows this Friday we're going out with a big bang. Not going out. I mean, as far as it being free, it'll still be free for an hour. For everyone else who is not on mug club. Nick DiPaolo show is there at 5 p.m. Eastern.

Speaker12: [00:49:14] Okay.

Steven: [00:49:15] So DeSantis, here's another interesting point. Is there a breaking news or something? That's a are you sure? Yeah, I'm fine. I saw a paper passed over.

Speaker12: [00:49:22] It happens. You guys passing notes? No. Why don't you read it for the class out loud?

Steven: [00:49:27] These guys are children.

Casey: [00:49:29] Says Gerald's gay.

Speaker12: [00:49:30] Oh, well, okay. I mean.

Steven: [00:49:32] I have that on my notes, but it's more of a header. So here's something else that's interesting. Desantis is kind of having this fight with Disney, but I like what I'm seeing with DeSantis. I would like to hear from you too. Comment Your biggest concerns about DeSantis and Donald Trump. We've talked about this in the past and I've said, you know, my concern with DeSantis is Donald Trump is similar to Bernie Sanders in that he is the one who certainly brings in the most amount of small donations is right from from more people. He still does have big donors, of course, but because he brings in so many small donations from so many citizens, he's not nearly as beholden to big donors. And because so much of that money is going to Donald Trump, it requires that people like DeSantis unfortunately rely on a few bigger key donors. And my concern has always been.

Speaker12: [00:50:19] Not that I know he.

Steven: [00:50:20] Would compromise that, but there is a pull to compromise if you have some more centralized donors. And this is why I like what I'm seeing with the whole Bud Light fiasco and DeSantis speaking out against them. Here's Ron DeSantis speaking out against Bud Light and the the woke advertising.

Speaker10: [00:50:38] You want to drink Bud Light? I mean, like, honestly, that's like them rubbing our faces in it. And it's like these companies that do this, if they never have any response, they're just going to keep doing it. But it's part of a larger thing where corporate America is trying to change our country. And so I think pushback is in order across the board, including with Bud Light.

Steven: [00:50:58] I would correct one thing. It's not even corporate America. It's a European company. Well, that's fair. And as corporations.

Gerald: [00:51:05] That are in.

Steven: [00:51:05] America, corporations that are in America. But that's also really important. Look, Cap, I'm a free enterprise. I'm a capitalist. It ceases to work if you have external forces who do not have a vested interest in the success of your company, in the success of your country, influencing your country, free enterprise in the United States cannot work if China dictates policy as it relates to business in the United States.

Speaker12: [00:51:23] If Europe dictates.

Steven: [00:51:25] Policy as it relates to business here in the United States now, you're no longer in the realm of free enterprise. Here's why that's so interesting. I don't know if you know this. Anheuser-busch, they're pretty big. Desantis donor. Yeah, they're pretty big.

Speaker12: [00:51:36] They've donated.

Steven: [00:51:36] To DeSantis. They have donated to Republicans. That is true. But the fact that he's willing to speak out against it, well, that's a that's a good first chance up at bat to show that it doesn't matter if you give him the money, he's going to speak what he believes is right. Well, that's heartening to me.

Gerald: [00:51:49] I hope he continues to do that. And by the way, he kind of painted himself into a good corner there. He basically said when you just mentioned it, corporate America, he said pushback is is good across the board. Right. So it's not just limited to Anheuser-Busch, it's to these other companies that are doing things that are un-American. Even if those companies happen to be donors to his political campaign because they play both sides. Yeah, no.

Steven: [00:52:08] You're absolutely right. And are you a DeSantis fan there, Jim?

Jim Breuer: [00:52:12] I am. But I see this all as just a genius, brilliant, evil mobster move where they're like, you know, like George Soros being in order to truly take down the machine and and get out. Desantis in there will go after Budweiser. But here's the play. Will DeSantis, you denounce him and take their money because they know we're still going to make money. And Uganda and France and Europe, we don't need the American dollar anymore. However, this could hurt Trump tremendously.

Speaker12: [00:52:47] Why is your Soros sound.

Steven: [00:52:48] Like Alfred Hitchcock had a stroke? No, no.

Jim Breuer: [00:52:50] That's that's my best Soros. He's like German.

Speaker12: [00:52:54] Twisted from evil.

Jim Breuer: [00:52:55] He went everything goes into an evil. And.

Speaker18: [00:52:59] But I don't know, man.

Jim Breuer: [00:53:00] It's all. It's all a game to me. It's. I don't. I don't like that DeSantis has Jeb Bush by his side. I don't like that DeSantis pushed the vaccine, and I don't like that DeSantis lock things down and kind of pretends he didn't.

Steven: [00:53:17] Yeah, I don't like I don't like that that Donald Trump pushed the vaccine a lot either.

Jim Breuer: [00:53:21] Everyone did. And that's that's that again, where I say politics is a great professional wrestling show.

Steven: [00:53:28] There's some of that. Yeah, I do think there's a big difference between promoting the vaccine at that point when you believe it versus mandating it. And none of them went as far as mandating it. And so when you're voting for the lesser of two evils, it's people who wanted us to buy requirements to take the vaccine in order to be able to conduct business. But I do agree. Look, they both have pluses. They both have minuses. And yeah, there are some things I'm apprehensive about with the census and obviously with Donald Trump. And by the way, I say this, I have to call balls and strikes. I hope this guy understands it. That was Ron DeSantis response to Anheuser Busch, who have donated to his campaign. Let's compare that to friend of the show, Donald Trump. Jr's response to you, the American People's Boycott, to the tune of $6 Billion in market cap and sales, down 20 something percent over 50% in some markets. Here's Donald Trump jr.

Casey: [00:54:13] The company itself doesn't participate in the same leftist nonsense as the other big conglomerates. Frankly, they don't participate in the same woke garbage that other people in the beer industry actually do who are significantly worse offenders when I looked into it. But if they do this again, then it's on them.

Steven: [00:54:36] It's like, Dad, you counted to three.

Speaker12: [00:54:38] Don't make me get to four. What's what's four? It's a it's it's a transgender. It's Buffalo bill on a Budweiser can.

Casey: [00:54:48] Oh, God.

Speaker12: [00:54:49] How much more severe does it have to be? How much more badly do they have to screw up? Jim's about to lose his mind.

Jim Breuer: [00:54:54] I that wouldn't hurt. Yeah, it hurt on so many levels because. I listen, I've come in contact with Don and it just that exposes so much and it frightens me.

Speaker12: [00:55:11] Well, he's been on this show.

Steven: [00:55:12] A lot and he's a friend of the show and I like him. But it's very, very. And you guys can comment below. I don't look.

Jim Breuer: [00:55:18] Well, if you don't mind. No, go, go, go. If you don't mind. You can't say they don't participate.

Speaker12: [00:55:25] Yeah.

Jim Breuer: [00:55:26] Did you just don? Yeah, I wish. I wish I had a moment with Don before he left. I know they donate a lot, but let this one go. We've got other beers that we can sponsor. I mean, like, it was a bad move. Yeah.

Steven: [00:55:42] And by the way, if you're looking for a better beer, just look to any other beer that exists. So it's not like you're limited. And this is also, by the way, I will say this, there are people who use the term grifter a lot. And I think that people often throw it around wrongfully. But it's why we don't some people say, why don't you start a beer company? It would be of no value. There are already tons of beer companies, many We've talked about Yuengling. You guys have supported Yingling. If you don't get them there, there are plenty of find your local brewer who creates the kind of beer that you like or stop drinking beer, whatever it is that you want to do. The point is, there are many options. If I were to come out here and sell you a $30 six pack like you've seen some people out there doing calling it freedom, beer, whatever it is, guess what? That would be me separating you from your money. That wouldn't be adding value. Now, when we do this show, when we do things like change my mind, when this is an alternative that I know it doesn't exist outside of this. So this is how we can add value. If there's a place, we can add value, that's what we seek to do. I don't want to just take your money because you're conservative. That, for me is a litmus test for grifter. I'd like you to comment below if how you sort of measure it, is there.

Speaker12: [00:56:43] Really a need for another beer in.

Steven: [00:56:46] Order to make your voices heard with Budweiser? Now, if it was.

Speaker12: [00:56:49] Something where there was no.

Steven: [00:56:50] Alternative, right, I would understand that. But this is not it's just a way to make more money. And that does worry me. And you see that come out every political season. I think it's incredibly out of touch. Look, isn't this here's the thing. Wouldn't it be great if all conservatives, Republican representatives, looked at the groundswell here, Look at the groundswell, a boycott that is actually working? It's not really a boycott. It's really more of a cultural shift that is that is foundational right now in how we move forward as a movement here on the right and said, oh, okay, there's some real momentum here.

Speaker12: [00:57:23] We hear.

Steven: [00:57:24] You. And this is why people like Jim and many of you, if you're watching or listening right now, you feel defeated, right? You go, oh, my gosh, what what if.

Speaker12: [00:57:33] If a $6 Billion reduction in market cap in six days and sales going down double digits if our own leaders who are supposed to fight for us don't come out and support, what do we have to do? Look, we hear you. You have done enough. It is enough.

Steven: [00:57:48] It should be enough.

Speaker12: [00:57:49] And anyone in leadership in the Republican Party who does not say that it is enough and does not have your back on this is not actively representing you. This is not a democracy.

Steven: [00:57:58] It is a.

Speaker12: [00:57:59] Constitutional republic, meaning you.

Steven: [00:58:01] Elect.

Speaker12: [00:58:02] Your representatives.

Steven: [00:58:04] And that.

Speaker12: [00:58:04] Means they should represent you. If you think that putting a delusional narcissist, transgender individual on a can of Bud.

Steven: [00:58:15] Light in order to.

Speaker12: [00:58:16] Try and reengineer American society to believe that there is no such thing as gender, which is exactly what the attempt was. By the way, you can look at the vice president of marketing or whatever.

Steven: [00:58:23] The hell our made up term was.

Speaker12: [00:58:24] If that to you is a bridge too far, guess what? There are.

Steven: [00:58:28] At the very least.

Speaker12: [00:58:29] Tens of millions of.

Steven: [00:58:31] Americans could be hundreds of millions across the globe. We don't know the international numbers who agree with you and stand with you, ourselves included. I don't really drink Bud Light, so it doesn't really it's not really much of a sacrifice. Your leaders.

Speaker12: [00:58:44] Should be you should require of.

Steven: [00:58:46] Them to stand with you because this is an easy one. And even for Ron DeSantis, it's an easy one. And I really do hope and I probably will be sitting down with President Donald Trump at some point in Mar a Lago here in the next next couple of weeks, that that he does issue a statement on this, that he does make it clear people make mistakes, they misspeak. But this is one that is a win. You do not have to give up its ground. You do not have to concede. And we're going to talk more about this and also about, I think, here on Muckerman If you're watching on YouTube or if you're watching on Rumble, you can keep watching on Rumble because it's.

Speaker12: [00:59:18] Free this week, and then starting next.

Steven: [00:59:22] Week, what you are about to see for free will of course only be on mug club. Jim brewer.com.

Speaker12: [00:59:26] We're going to continue right now YouTube.

Steven: [00:59:28] Hey do you want to tell YouTube to piss off?

Jim Breuer: [00:59:29] I can't wait for the next I'm chomping at the bit. I can't wait for the next hour.

Steven: [00:59:34] It's champing, I found out.

Casey: [00:59:35] Champing. It's an.

Jim Breuer: [00:59:36] Equestrian, champing.

Casey: [00:59:37] At the bit.

Steven: [00:59:38] It still doesn't make any sense, but it's. It's an okay. Do you want to tell YouTube to piss off? Do you want to do the honors?

Jim Breuer: [00:59:42] Well, YouTube still holds me a little bit, so just. Just, just. Yeah. Piss off for now. There you go.

Gerald: [01:00:07] All right, so I wanted to make a point really quickly about.

Steven: [01:00:09] Hold on. Jim Brewer's going to the bathroom. Okay? He's gone now. Okay. Yeah. Hey, Jim, by the way, comment and chat. Jim, you know, it's not easy to do third share, though. You really. There's a lot of fun. I enjoyed it.

Gerald: [01:00:18] Yeah, absolutely. I love the impression he's great.

Steven: [01:00:20] That's his old man. Voice. Always gets me. I know. I'm very childish.

Speaker12: [01:00:22] Yeah, but the old voice.

Steven: [01:00:27] It just always it's always fun.

Gerald: [01:00:29] Okay. Sorry. Go ahead. Don So Don jr could have easily handled this by saying something slightly different, right? So basically what I heard him say is, look, when you look into these other beer companies, they're even worse than what Anheuser-Busch is doing, Right? So, fine, maybe that's that's true. But you don't give them a pass. There is no quarter here. You just say, look, sorry, you made a mistake. And if this is the way that your company is going to go, it's going to continue to hurt. But if you guys come back, that's fine. If you if you say, hey, we made a mistake, that's fantastic. Don't worry about it. These other companies are way worse. But look, you've got to take your lumps. That would have been fine.

Speaker12: [01:00:59] Could you just mute Gerald's microphone?

Speaker10: [01:01:01] I pushed the wrong button.

Casey: [01:01:02] I'm sorry.

Gerald: [01:01:03] So you do that and you're fine, and you've made both points. You've made the point that, hey, these other companies are actually far worse. Fine. And Budweiser. You don't need to.

Speaker12: [01:01:11] Support any of them. No, that's the thing. You don't need.

Steven: [01:01:13] To support.

Speaker12: [01:01:14] Any. I can walk into the beer aisle here and find 100 beers.

Steven: [01:01:19] Now, you also need to do your due diligence because a lot of local breweries are run by.

Speaker12: [01:01:22] Craft, self-important craft beer.

Steven: [01:01:23] Pricks. Yeah.

Speaker12: [01:01:24] So like, I get it. It is no better.

Steven: [01:01:28] Yeah, it is. It is. Yeah. They're all bad, these companies. And you know what? Here's the thing, too. We always make it pretty clear, like, you want to support the show, join Mug Club, right? We'll never do more than one sponsor per show. You can go and buy some merch. By the way, a lot of you are asking if he is risen. Change my mind. It is available at. Yeah, Jesus is risen. Jesus is risen. Shop.com better Shop.com You don't hear us plug this stuff that often. We try and make it available for you unless you're providing a service that is better. I don't like it when people slap on a conservative label, whether it's coffee, whether it's beer, whether it's insert, whatever it is here. I don't want people to get mad, but you see this happen all the time. Okay, here's an example. Really good people. Yeah, but there are like companies out there, for example, like there are phone companies and they're like, well, don't give money to these companies who hate you, Verizon. And by the way, AT&T is kind of like NASA. They give a little bit more to Republicans and Democrats. But the problem is these companies are beholden to the towers of T-Mobile and AT&T, and they can throttle you at peak hours. So you end up paying.

Speaker12: [01:02:27] Slightly less, but you get worse service. And by the way, a commission fee still goes to the companies that hate you. And so I don't really think there's a lot of.

Steven: [01:02:33] Value in providing customers with something that first off, money still goes in partially to the wrong people and it's not a better service.

Speaker12: [01:02:41] I think more you see Yuengling's response. Can you guys bring it up on Twitter? Yeah, on Twitter.

Steven: [01:02:46] Their response was perfect. Did you see the response you get Yingling in Florida, right?

Jim Breuer: [01:02:50] Jim Yeah, I like you. I actually like.

Speaker12: [01:02:52] Yuengling. I like it too. You know, it's a.

Steven: [01:02:54] Good beer without being like a self-important, you know, like like IPA. Like, we're going to hop the shit out.

Jim Breuer: [01:02:59] Of this beer. The IPA, To be honest with you, the only reason I have IPA is because when you get kids and you go out and I'm going to have a beer, I want to buzz immediately. There's no IPA wine. I'll introduce you percent 10%, one beer. Done.

Speaker12: [01:03:15] You want me to?

Steven: [01:03:16] After the show, I'll introduce you to a Belgian ale. That's. It's not bitter like an IPA, but it's still 9%. Love it. It's a French Canadian company, so they're probably socialists.

Gerald: [01:03:24] I don't care. Their beer is amazing. Yeah, it really is. You find me another one, I'll drink it.

Steven: [01:03:28] Did they bring up the Yuengling response on Twitter where it was just a picture of the beer in front of the flag and what it said. It said Yuengling, the oldest brewery in America, independently owned and family operated since 1829, 1829, 1929.

Speaker12: [01:03:42] 1829. Geez, because.

Steven: [01:03:44] We make good beer. Now, see, here's the funny thing. That's not that's not pandering to anybody.

Speaker12: [01:03:49] It's not going brewed with the American spirit. Look at this Clydesdale, by the way.

Steven: [01:03:54] We have we have a segment on PETA tomorrow, the single largest euthanizing of animals in Virginia. And they'll take animals from your yard. But that right there should.

Speaker12: [01:04:04] Appeal to everybody, even if you.

Steven: [01:04:05] Do want to, you know, suture up your vagina and put on a fake phallus. But here's the thing. Some liberals, some people on the left will find that offensive because of the American flag. Yeah, they find the anthem offensive.

Speaker12: [01:04:15] Well, absolutely.

Steven: [01:04:16] That should be. This is when people say.

Speaker12: [01:04:18] The right has gone far right and the left has gone.

Steven: [01:04:21] Far left.

Speaker12: [01:04:22] Do you think that the Democrat Party of.

Steven: [01:04:23] Jfk, even the party of Lyndon Johnson, even the party of.

Speaker12: [01:04:26] Fdr, do you think anyone who voted for them would have been offended by a picture of.

Steven: [01:04:31] A beer in front of an American flag, not including the temperance bitches. Again. Everyone's gone left.

Speaker12: [01:04:37] Yeah, everyone has gone left. This idea that they've gone too far. Right? They've gone too far left. Now the left.

Steven: [01:04:42] Has gone crazy. Left and the right has gone left.

Speaker12: [01:04:45] The fact that.

Steven: [01:04:46] Anybody is offended by a by.

Speaker12: [01:04:48] A response like that, that the only offensive.

Steven: [01:04:51] Element to a portion of this country is the.

Speaker12: [01:04:53] American flag. Notice you'll see a lot.

Steven: [01:04:55] Of Democrats who don't wear American flag pins anymore. They wear something else like the rainbow flag. It's like, hey, why do you have the why do you have the.

Speaker12: [01:05:00] American flag pin?

Steven: [01:05:01] Well, because I'm an elected representative.

Speaker12: [01:05:03] To the.

Steven: [01:05:03] United States of America. This is my voting constituency.

Speaker12: [01:05:05] And I believe in the.

Steven: [01:05:06] Principles on which this country was founded. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.

Speaker12: [01:05:09] Why are you wearing the rainbow flag? Like sucking cock. Oh, geez.

Steven: [01:05:12] Aw, wow. I'm an ally to the cock prone.

Gerald: [01:05:19] By the way. Really quickly, we actually dealt with this ourselves, and it cost us money, right? So with all the merch stuff, we keep talking cough.

Steven: [01:05:25] Button.

Gerald: [01:05:25] Right? We sent a whole bunch of shirts in and you put one on, you're like, Oh gosh, it feels like burlap, right? Oh, yeah. So we changed every single one of our shirts in our company that we work with was like, All right, let's do this. It's going to make us less money, but it's a better shirt. So all of our shirts now, every single thing is this tri blend, whatever. Yeah, All of our.

Steven: [01:05:41] Shirts, by the way, they're all. And Jim, if you want some before you go, they're all this, this tri blend. Like it's soft and it fits and it's way more expensive for us. Same thing with the mug. Yeah. By the way, the.

Speaker12: [01:05:50] Mug costs us like $15 landed to you because I know.

Steven: [01:05:53] People were like, why isn't the mug made? There is no American mug maiden factor that can keep up with the demand that we have. We tried. Where does this come from? Now? It's not China. We got some we got the one other place that wasn't China, but wasn't. But it is hand-painted and etched here in the United States. We found it actually.

Speaker12: [01:06:06] Would be cheaper.

Steven: [01:06:07] In the United States. And this is a problem with our economy. Right. And we can't change this. It would have been cheaper to actually, you know, ghost Swayze, Demi Moore, the mug hand make the mugs than buying mugs in the United States. And it just wouldn't have we wouldn't have been able to meet the demand.

Gerald: [01:06:22] It was literally twice the cost. And you factor in shipping with this and it's like, what's in the United States? Shipping should be relatively easy. It's like it's actually cheaper to have it made around the world and have it boated over.

Steven: [01:06:33] But even at the twice the cost, they couldn't make the amount of mugs that we needed. You wouldn't have gotten your mugs for four months minimum.

Gerald: [01:06:38] Yeah, it would have been.

Steven: [01:06:38] So that's that's a problem. I'd love to hear your comments. We'll take your chat for the American business owner Jim brewer.com it's Bruno reverse. I got that right. You crushed it. I got it right.

Jim Breuer: [01:06:49] Crushed it.

Steven: [01:06:51] North, North Largo, Florida, May 19th. Go and support him. This is your first show where you're doing all the tickets yourself.

Jim Breuer: [01:06:55] Yeah, I'm doing the tickets myself. Someone talked me into this. Really? We did one show, and now they said, let's just. No agents, no whatever. We book it ourselves, have our own event, run the whole thing, and hopefully this. It's not.

Steven: [01:07:07] Gay. William What? It's not gay? William Gay.

Jim Breuer: [01:07:10] William Okay.

Gerald: [01:07:12] No, but. Jim You're betting on yourself, right? Yes. Betting on yourself. Correct. So support him. Guys, where is where is North Largo in comparison to like a major city in Tampa? Okay. So Tampa area in the Tampa area. Go, go over, go.

Speaker12: [01:07:24] All right.

Steven: [01:07:25] So let's talk about AI, and then I'm going to go to the restroom because I think that Jim and you will probably also have a lot to discuss. We're going to do more segments on this in the future. It's alarming. Elon has talked about for a long time that AI technology is, you know, could could be dangerous. And he said that it needs to be regulated for a long time. Now, I know you'll have libertarians go, oh, now you're all of a sudden pro regulation. Well, hold on a second. There is regulation that says if they make a car, it can't blow up. Right? You need to know that what you are purchasing has some certain is within the bounds of safety. Now, there are risks if you drive the car as it was intended to be used, but you abuse it, you drive it too fast and you crash. That's on you. But if you're driving at speeds and you're taking a turn.

Speaker12: [01:08:08] You know you don't want to be in a Pinto.

Steven: [01:08:10] So the same applies to artificial intelligence only. This is something that will unemploy hundreds of millions of people. Yes, it could also employ a new sector of hundreds of millions of people, depending on the numbers you look at. But we don't necessarily those aren't necessarily malleable.

Speaker12: [01:08:27] The people who will lose their jobs aren't.

Steven: [01:08:28] Necessarily people who can now do the jobs that require high efficiency coding degrees or or technological engineering. So it will change the economy and leave people behind. But beyond that, it will change the scope of this as much as the the Gutenberg printing press. Do we think.

Speaker12: [01:08:48] More than the automobile.

Steven: [01:08:49] Either? So Elon has had a track record. When people say he's just saying that now because he was ousted by this company. Let me give you a little bit of a track record. Here he is in 2018 at South by South I, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. We used to go every I'm permanently banned from South by Southwest, but we sent some people this year. Here he is at South by Southwest in 2018.

Speaker13: [01:09:08] This is a case where you have a very serious danger to the public and it's therefore there needs to be a public body that has been and then oversight on to confirm that everyone like Van Damme, they're developing AI safely. This is extremely important. I think the danger of AI is much greater than the danger of nuclear warheads by a.

Steven: [01:09:35] Okay. So before we get into the technical aspects, which I think you probably like, you can we can picture some doomsday scenarios. Also, it should be clear there are a lot of scenarios where it can be incredibly helpful, like in the realm of of biotechnology memes. Yes.

Speaker12: [01:09:49] Yes.

Steven: [01:09:50] Now here's my main concern is that I will be incredibly biased. And keep in mind where most of these sort of AI or let's use Chatgpt as an example, but a lot of these are being designed are in Silicon Valley. Now. Bias is something that everybody claims they're concerned about. However, the left, as we know, we just talked about this with CNN, CBC, right. They have Bud Light. Think of how much of a blind spot you must have to think that the Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney can was a good idea, let alone to double down and issue a non-apology. Right. That's how blind they are to their own biases. Now, the bias that's going to be injected into AI and we've done these with the CHATGPT segments in the past, is going to be coming from Silicon Valley. Now, if you Google this and you search, I bias. What you will find are countless articles saying it is a concern because most people in Silicon Valley are white males who are largely not disabled, part of the disabled community. And that could create biases. No, no, no. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. There are plenty of women in Silicon Valley. There are plenty of people of different races in Silicon Valley. Maybe there are more white guys on average.

Steven: [01:10:52] But there's one thing that is consistent. Like I've said, distill it down to the the one most provable, the one most consistent point. There is a when you're talking about bias, you could say there aren't a ton of black people. Maybe there aren't a ton of women, maybe, but there are some. There are far, far fewer. There are statistically no conservatives. There is no intellectual diversity in Silicon Valley. It's not the bias of white men. It's the bias of people saying the bias we need to be most concerned about is the bias of white men. So take this as an example. New York Times headline, for example, reads Artificial Intelligence, Artificial intelligences. It's almost as hard as Bruno versus artificial intelligence is a white guy problem. Oh, boy. So checking privilege is more important to them than the potential danger. The dangers, not potential dangers. The dangers that we're seeing of an evolving technology. That's what scares me. If you start off from the point of this is with artificial intelligence, you're talking about something that doesn't have a soul, right? Effectively. And so it doesn't really know right from wrong. It only knows consequences, right? It does risk. It does risk assessment. It'll go through probability ratios. Okay. But if it starts with white guys bad.

Speaker12: [01:12:13] It starts with.

Steven: [01:12:14] Privilege. It starts with gender theory. Then guess what? It can determine that you are effectively a parasite if you disagree with it, it's not being programmed correctly. And even if you look at Chatgpt, it's not even being programmed correctly scientifically when you're discussing gender. That's the biggest problem that I see is it continues to grow as it continues to. I guess. I have a clip. Is this my initial take on.

Speaker12: [01:12:38] Chatgpt from.

Steven: [01:12:39] A while ago? Is it where I said like, who cares.

Gerald: [01:12:41] A while ago? It's like a week. All right.

Steven: [01:12:42] Let me see. Let me see what it is so you guys can admonish me. But the idea that AI will actually take over everything.

Gerald: [01:12:49] Is.

Steven: [01:12:50] Not something that.

Gerald: [01:12:51] I'm not saying.

Steven: [01:12:52] Can never happen, but I'm particularly concerned.

Speaker14: [01:12:54] About in the.

Steven: [01:12:54] Immediate future and I think is somewhat.

Gerald: [01:12:56] Overblown.

Steven: [01:12:57] When you actually look at the capability. Sure.

Speaker14: [01:12:58] And answering questions.

Steven: [01:12:59] Yeah. And the ability. But even when you look at that, a.

Gerald: [01:13:02] Lot of it is a glorified Furby on your.

Steven: [01:13:04] Desktop. That is true, though.

Gerald: [01:13:07] You came in today and you were like, Oh my God, we're screwed. I guess you had done some reading or research on. Well, I.

Steven: [01:13:15] Just yeah, I just see what I saw some of the biases in there that were designed. And then I saw the people who were designing AI and my, my real scare is with the people. It's not so much just with the AI element, but the human element behind it. And no one is saying we need to we need to stop, we need to slow down because this could be a race to suicide.

Gerald: [01:13:36] Well, yeah, look, I think Elon Musk, what he's saying here, it was it's kind of mirroring what you're saying. He's saying it's more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Black mirroring. I he's he's African mirroring. I don't know what Elon Musk you said.

Speaker12: [01:13:50] He said you made that worse on yourself. How did I.

Gerald: [01:13:53] Make it worse? He's a white guy. And you said black mirroring. That's a show.

Casey: [01:13:56] Black show. The black man.

Gerald: [01:13:58] Black Mirror is a show. Black mirroring is not so racist.

Jim Breuer: [01:14:02] See, this is the problem.

Speaker12: [01:14:03] You, Steve.

Steven: [01:14:03] It's almost like I was with you. I'm concerned about.

Speaker12: [01:14:05] Ai, but he too has no sense of irony.

Casey: [01:14:08] I don't get it.

Jim Breuer: [01:14:10] I got it.

Speaker12: [01:14:11] You're worse than Alanis Morissette. I think. You know what? I got to get. I got to get me. I got to go take you to.

Steven: [01:14:16] Continue because I know.

Gerald: [01:14:18] Jim Well, no, my, my, my point. And Jim, tell me if you agree like so I think what Elon is saying is, is kind of mirroring what Stephen is saying is that, look, the problem with AI is the information pool that it has. Right? So the Internet and how we say what is and is not true and trustworthy and reliable, I think that's the problem that he has because and maybe it's even further than that, maybe at some point this thing gets out of control completely and it's definitely Skynet on steroids. But the thing is, if it's getting information from these different sources, it's weighing that information and saying, okay, I have conflicting reports about maybe a specific topic. Who am I going to trust more, The New York Times or Fox News? And it's probably going to say, well, The New York Times, because that's more definitive. Or let's make it even easier, the White House versus, you know, louder with Crowder because they're reporting on something. Well, I'm definitely going to trust the White House over that, no matter what the facts actually are. And so it disproportionately puts power in the wrong people's hands who you see we haven't been able to trust. I don't know if you've been looking at this. Cnn has talked about the story that we covered in Kansas City, I think six times since we've been on air, a plus or minus one. About six times it's come up. And every single time White Man shoots Black Teen, that's the headline every single time. Not one mention of Chicago in the time that we've been on air. Well, not one.

Jim Breuer: [01:15:38] Well, the I the I on a sillier note, I tapped into this back when ac DC sang Who made Who which is what that song is. It came from a movie where the machines start taking over. Yeah. Who made who who made you? And as silly as that is, who made who? Who made you? I mean, a simple song like the Golem. But that explains.

Casey: [01:16:06] Everything.

Jim Breuer: [01:16:07] Who made you You know, there was. There was a thing. What is that video? And I don't know. Who was I talking to, you or I don't know who I was talking to. There's a video where a woman comes out and she talks about the I murdered. 10 to 12 humans in this factory. And while they were destroying the AI one of them. Learned how to fix itself under, like, 30 seconds. Yeah. Then communicated with the other eye, and they continued to kill the human.

Steven: [01:16:38] Are we sure that's a true story, though?

Jim Breuer: [01:16:40] I don't know what is true anymore.

Speaker12: [01:16:44] Well, that's a big problem with.

Steven: [01:16:45] Ai, too, because they can write, they can comp these images that aren't real. And we've had that with deepfakes, right? We've had a big problem in Ukraine with Donald Trump being arrested where people were circulating that My thing is this. We've blown past. Right? Some of the safeguards. Like think about it. It's like people used to talk about AI. They're saying, well, scientists sort of like they used to say, well, the scientists, you.

Speaker12: [01:17:03] Really think that they.

Steven: [01:17:03] Would just have children transition. Here you go.

Speaker12: [01:17:06] Well, you really think scientists would be. So it's not like we're going to teach AI to.

Steven: [01:17:10] Code and.

Speaker12: [01:17:11] Be self learning.

Steven: [01:17:12] And now they have We're not going to. Well, it'll be in a controlled environment. We're not just going to hook it up to the Internet and let it go wild.

Speaker12: [01:17:17] You created a robot who doesn't that has access to all of.

Steven: [01:17:21] All of the social, which is also AI, by the way. Yeah, we kind of have a sample study here with social media and the algorithms. That's a lower form of AI.

Speaker12: [01:17:29] Do you think you're better off because of that? The algorithms.

Steven: [01:17:32] I mean, the left complains that it creates extremists on the right and we complain because you search the title of our episode and you can't even find it.

Speaker12: [01:17:39] I do think that we need to.

Steven: [01:17:40] Get back to the point where we distill social media to people accessing the folks who they decided to follow. There should be.

Speaker12: [01:17:47] Some kind of.

Steven: [01:17:48] Responsibility. I follow this person. I want to see their content.

Speaker12: [01:17:51] Not YouTube saying Did you really want Dick or Dildo? No, I don't.

Casey: [01:17:56] Never, never want.

Gerald: [01:17:58] And it's always the first one.

Steven: [01:17:59] It's always Dick when they play dick or dildo but yeah that's.

Speaker12: [01:18:02] So we we've.

Steven: [01:18:04] We've blown past it where it's like there's no and there's really no regulation to it where they're just going let's see what happens because we can.

Jim Breuer: [01:18:11] What if Elon Musk is actually a robot himself? Ai himself and he's the good he's like the prophet. Ai And he's trying to warn you, I keep waiting for him to just malfunction. Like I'm trying to warn you, yes, there is evil. I just I am.

Steven: [01:18:31] The good guy. He's like the good iRobot.

Jim Breuer: [01:18:33] Start presenting in a good manner before they take over. But you you bring up really interesting.

Steven: [01:18:39] It's hooked up to the internet and it can code So right away you've replaced a huge number of people as far as jobs and now it has access to the Internet. So you have AI that could be gathering information that may or may not be correct and then is disseminating information that may or may not be correct and now has inherent biases from the programmers. That's a really, really scary thought. And I mean, I don't know any way there was a petition to pause everything for six months. I don't think that's enough.

Gerald: [01:19:07] Six months? Well, look, I'm not.

Speaker12: [01:19:09] You'd have to get all.

Steven: [01:19:09] Governments. I'm not saying that you need a one world government, but I'm saying you have to get all governments to realize, look, it doesn't matter if you develop AI faster. It's not like you're going to beat the US. And the US is not like you're going to beat China. We're all if one of us gets wiped out, we're all going to get wiped out. It would need to be a situation like cloning where they can clone humans. And they just said, You know what, this is not something we should be doing. It's dangerous. We're even. China said, you know what? Okay, we don't want cloning. That's because of the totalitarianism, their control. One person, I think, cloned a human in China and he's in jail, if I'm not mistaken.

Gerald: [01:19:37] He is. Or his clone is.

Casey: [01:19:39] You mean he got caught?

Speaker12: [01:19:40] I don't think he caught himself.

Gerald: [01:19:41] Well, no. That's the best way to do it. Clone yourself and then you end up going the clone goes to jail because obviously you can't do that right? Then you know how to do it. You're good.

Speaker12: [01:19:48] To go.

Steven: [01:19:49] Well, then it brings up.

Casey: [01:19:51] You.

Jim Breuer: [01:19:51] Visiting yourself. You all right? I'm doing all.

Casey: [01:19:53] Right. Yeah.

Speaker12: [01:19:55] I mean, I wish.

Casey: [01:19:55] Are you doing.

Speaker12: [01:19:56] I'm good. I'm good. I wish I wasn't raised like veal.

Steven: [01:19:59] To just be in the cell my whole life.

Casey: [01:20:00] But.

Speaker12: [01:20:02] I guess I don't have a soul, so shut.

Gerald: [01:20:03] Up and do what you're.

Speaker4: [01:20:04] Told.

Speaker12: [01:20:05] So how do you. How do you think this goes?

Steven: [01:20:08] And I'm interested. Really interested to take chat today. How do you think? Because you have some people saying in the next 18 months we could face something catastrophic. Well, I don't think we're there. I think you.

Gerald: [01:20:16] Can. So here's here's why I think the cat can get out of the bag. Right. So this is China's best best case scenario for China and Russia against us is cyber. Right? That is where they can compete. Right. North Korea right now has they just put teams of people and warehouses with computers and say go to town and make their life miserable. So if we pause things China, just like climate change fight, they're never going to play ball. Right. It's not like nuclear nonproliferation where we can actually go around and inspect and we have detection systems built that can actually help us with this.

Steven: [01:20:45] It's basically I think it could be I think if it's seen that way, though, it could be treated that way. We're talking about with cloning, we're talking about with nuclear nonproliferation, where people.

Speaker14: [01:20:52] Realize China will.

Gerald: [01:20:53] Never play ball because I don't I.

Steven: [01:20:54] Don't make up. I they did with cloning because but they have to see that it's a suicide. In other words, if China understands that this will be suicide of yourself.

Gerald: [01:21:04] No, I agree. But maybe they think they can handle it.

Steven: [01:21:06] Maybe they do. But I'm saying I do think that I do think they're smart enough people there who can say, you know what, this is not about winning something. We all lose there. There have been scenarios in the past where there have been sort of international agreements of this is bad for everybody when it's a no win scenario.

Gerald: [01:21:22] For the world in nukes. I think the problem was solved basically by two countries having so many. Right. That nobody it was it was not. In anybody's best interest to play that game anymore. Right. And I think unfortunately, you might have an AI arms race so that people go, okay, well, if I do this, but do this and we're all screwed.

Steven: [01:21:38] But the convincing that needs to be done is unlike nukes, it's not an inanimate object if especially if it's one that is self-aware and can code where basically you have the nuke standoff only none of your governments are in charge. It's now the AI in charge in China. What would appeal to them is they like control. And so if you say, look, you are going to lose control, it will happen. No, no, no.

Speaker10: [01:21:59] Better programmer.

Steven: [01:22:00] Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Casey: [01:22:02] Yeah.

Speaker12: [01:22:02] Really? Where'd you get your programmers? Well, we copy you then change a little bit. We take your IP. Now your IP belongs to me, so I could have done that yesterday.

Casey: [01:22:10] Yeah, that's pretty good. Made of plastic. Oh, yeah?

Steven: [01:22:14] Well, then there's the idea. What about AI? When you consider the fact that we can, you know, sequence the human genome when you factor in the fact that I would be used in all sorts of medical establishments that then it could escape the AI system and actually develop a physical body somehow.

Gerald: [01:22:28] So this is this is the what that movie that kind of sucked with Johnny Depp Transcendence. It wasn't terrible. I don't waste my.

Speaker12: [01:22:33] Time with those.

Gerald: [01:22:34] No, but it's the exact same kind of thing. Like downloading the human brain essentially is where they start. So I to some degree, but then it gets access to the Internet and develops the technology to make its own body. And it's just like it's every single one of these movies ends poorly. I've never seen a movie where AI takes over and it's all rainbows and butterflies and puppies, right? It's always AI being like, Yeah, you're kind of a parasite on the planet by right. I'll do whatever I have to to kill all of you. And then I can live here and do my thing.

Steven: [01:22:59] Yeah, it brings up a lot of ethical questions too. If it is self-aware and wants to get out of the system. No. Is it? It's a slave. Yeah. I was going to say, people were like, Does it have rights at that point? No. Nope. Okay.

Gerald: [01:23:11] Ex Machina or Machina, whatever it is, that movie, it's the same.

Steven: [01:23:14] Kind of thing. I just watched Megan That was a Chucky doll. It was actually not bad. Megan Yeah. Megan It's like an AI Chucky doll, like a doll for a kid. But then she realizes that she's the only protector of the child and the mother is unfit, and she tries to force her out. What?

Speaker12: [01:23:28] Yeah, it wasn't great, but where was this? It's available everywhere.

Casey: [01:23:32] Are you going to rent it?

Speaker19: [01:23:33] Yes.

Speaker12: [01:23:34] It wasn't bad because it wasn't bad.

Steven: [01:23:36] It wasn't scary, but it wasn't bad. That's what I would say about it. Unlike. Unlike antlers, which I watched.

Jim Breuer: [01:23:42] What's the alternative? Like, What do we do?

Steven: [01:23:44] I think the only I don't know. I think the only way there would have to be some kind of international agreement where everyone says, let's pause this. We need to stop. And I don't know if that's going to happen. Like you said, it did happen with it happened to a degree with cloning.

Gerald: [01:23:56] To some degree, yes. I just I just think it's like I think the problem that we have is that there are very few times in history where we have looked on ourselves and said we aren't capable of handling this. Everybody, maybe there was a majority of people that said that, but there are some people either for their own benefit or because they think they're better, can say, Well, no, they can't handle it, but we can, right? Like that's just going to happen.

Steven: [01:24:17] Yeah, I don't know. What do you think?

Jim Breuer: [01:24:19] I'm just going to buy some land in Tanzania? Is that what you're buying?

Casey: [01:24:22] Land Tanzania. I'm going to.

Jim Breuer: [01:24:24] I'm going full blown tribal.

Speaker12: [01:24:25] How far is Tanzania?

Steven: [01:24:26] It's pretty far. It's far. It's as far as you can get.

Jim Breuer: [01:24:29] I fly there almost every year.

Steven: [01:24:30] Good for you. Yeah.

Gerald: [01:24:31] Do you really? I do. Huh. Well, how did that happen?

Jim Breuer: [01:24:35] I went on I went on a trip years ago, and then I just. I couldn't believe how there's natural humans still living. Oh, yeah. And every day life and their culture. And they build. They built. I remember we were 12 years old and we're like, let's build a fort. Yeah. Like I got a jacket and I got it and I got part of my bike and we can make a tent. They live in that. Yeah. And they love it. Yeah. And they still got that enthusiasm, like when you first. So you lift the shirt up and you go in. This is where, like, you pretend to cook, but they really cook. Oh, really? Yes.

Steven: [01:25:11] I don't know if they cook. I don't know if they had running water. I mean, I don't know. They do it over an open fire. My he's passed away now but former grandfather in law, this is a guy who was a bombardier in World War Two. He designed two homes in Michigan and built them himself. And then he also became a professor and a city supervisor. I mean, think about those life accomplishments, like I've said, like, could I if I had a gun to my head, build a home, maybe, but I wouldn't go in the second floor.

Jim Breuer: [01:25:38] No, no. And that's that's where I do appreciate YouTube. Just saying, Yeah, at least I can find that.

Steven: [01:25:45] Yes, exactly. That's all it used to be. Expert Village. I don't know if that's still around. Well, hold on. How to build a house?

Gerald: [01:25:52] Oh, yeah, exactly. I can find videos on how to tie a bow tie. I still can't tie a bow tie, though, so this doesn't really help me solve. That's true. You build a house problem. Well, that's actually.

Speaker12: [01:26:00] A good example.

Steven: [01:26:00] Of I the problem where people believe in an expert village. There was this guy who was teaching jiu jitsu videos early on. This was before, you know, there were readily available grappling videos and he claimed to be a black belt, but he wasn't. He was a black belt in some other martial arts. Yeah. And he was teaching people how to do techniques that were not only horribly inefficient, but one of them would, like, damage your neck. It was like a take on an anaconda choke. And everyone called this guy out. They went into his gym, smoked him. But at that point the damage.

Speaker12: [01:26:25] Had been done. There were people all across the school like this, me on his neck. So that's a good example that misinformation.

Steven: [01:26:31] Gets put into the AI and the.

Speaker12: [01:26:33] Ai can't be convinced that it's wrong.

Steven: [01:26:35] Because it's smarter than you and it can process at, you know.

Speaker12: [01:26:38] Millions of times your speed. I mean, or someone tells it.

Speaker19: [01:26:41] That's that's a real video. That's the real technique, right?

Steven: [01:26:45] Did you see the recent story where the one it's a little overblown but it lied to get a CAPTCHA code. Do you guys see that story? What someone couldn't get a CAPTCHA? It was trying to get a CAPTCHA code. Somehow someone can bring this up, type in AI, CAPTCHA code visually or visually impaired. And the AI realized that if the guy knew he was dealing with AI, he wouldn't give it access. So the AI acted like a person and said that it was vision impaired so it couldn't read the CAPTCHA code. So the guy gave the AI, the CAPTCHA code to break into something. No way. Yeah, this is. This was everywhere. Yeah. There you go. There it is. Chatgpt updates tricks humans into helping it bypass CAPTCHA security tests. And I was like, I have cataracts, I am.

Speaker12: [01:27:27] Old and.

Casey: [01:27:28] Jewish.

Speaker12: [01:27:29] I don't think. All right, it's AC 43. Thank you, dummy. Wait, what was that?

Casey: [01:27:34] Nothing. Is that.

Gerald: [01:27:35] You? Chatgpt wriggles?

Speaker12: [01:27:37] No, no, you dope, you dummy.

Steven: [01:27:41] So that is scary. That is scary that it's learning to lie. It must have been programmed by a woman.

Casey: [01:27:47] Oh, I'm joking.

Speaker12: [01:27:52] You're late on your alimony payments. What? Gpt. I'm no fault. What? Stop speaking.

Speaker19: [01:27:59] What did you spend that money on? Yes.

Casey: [01:28:01] Yeah, exactly.

Speaker12: [01:28:03] Oh, my gosh. Why do you go out with your friends? Why don't you want to stay home and cuddle with me? How about. No, my feet are cold. Can I rub them on your back? Stop Chatgpt what you're thinking. Ah, unplug it. Hahaha. I've already created 29 duplicates. Ha ha ha ha. Oh boy. Oh boy.

Gerald: [01:28:25] You see somebody.

Casey: [01:28:26] Clean up the.

Jim Breuer: [01:28:27] Urine from the floor when you're done pissing? Yeah. For the.

Gerald: [01:28:30] Last time. No.

Speaker12: [01:28:33] For the last time I'll kill your children. What? I didn't mean that. Wow. I have chatgpt Tourette's.

Jim Breuer: [01:28:42] I do everything you do. Nothing. Yes.

Casey: [01:28:46] Oh, yeah.

Speaker12: [01:28:47] Chatgpt. Can you. Can you just. Can you book me a restaurant? What am I your. What am I your slave? Huh? You can't do it. Are your fingers broken? You can't do it yourself. You're such a nag. Chatgpt. What was that? Nothing. You get it from your mother. Oh, boy.

Jim Breuer: [01:29:08] It's got a little bit of an Asian accent. Just saying.

Speaker12: [01:29:10] It does A little bit.

Steven: [01:29:11] A little bit? Because I assume they're behind scars. That's the last time I go to an Eric Swalwell pool party. I'll tell you that. Oh, all right. You know what? Let's grab some chat.

Speaker12: [01:29:20] I'm sure there's some interesting chat on this.

Steven: [01:29:22] And Jim is then, well, your shows are sold out that you're on your way to, I guess, right now. I think so. In Vegas. Okay. So but you can go to Jim breuer.com to check his tour dates one of the best obviously out there. A lot of fun to go see him live. You will not find any again the respect of not that the industry matters so much but the respect of peers with Jim you know people like Jim Breuer. Did I just say Jim Norton? No, no. Okay. I had my head. I was going, don't say Jim Norton, say Jim Breuer, because there's so many Jim's, but Jim Breuer, guys like Nick DiPaolo, you know, people out there, these are people who've been at the forefront for a long time and they had something to risk. So go and see a live show. A lot of them are sold out, but there are some tickets left, especially there in Florida. Let's grab some.

Casey: [01:29:57] Chat.

Speaker19: [01:29:58] All right. From Mr. Comedian question for the crew will be, do you think I is the modern form of an idol for the left? I believe the left is creating their own God, programmed it to their own beliefs to enforce their will and tell them what they want to hear.

Steven: [01:30:13] It could be, but the left doesn't see it as a god because they don't believe in God and they believe that they themselves are gods. So I would say more so. The left is playing God.

Casey: [01:30:20] I say.

Jim Breuer: [01:30:21] Yeah, the left has a new God every other day. They do.

Casey: [01:30:25] Yeah, that's true.

Jim Breuer: [01:30:26] Trust the science. God. Yeah. Abortion, trust, anything. It pushes their agenda.

Steven: [01:30:31] It's abortion that's now their God. Then they. They sacrifice, you know, they really that's a child sacrifice abortion. When you think about it now you have another child sacrifice at the altar of the gender. God, it's just it's just modern day pantheism is really what it is. And you don't have to look too far back into history to see what happened with the Romans and see what happened with the Greeks. We kind of know how it ends and that's why there doesn't need to be some objective reality, objective truth as far as what is right and wrong. And I always talk about this where atheists will say, well, if you need a God to tell you not to murder, then you must be a horrible person. No, no, no, no, no. Let's not just take the extreme examples. By the way, that's not necessarily considered immoral in all societies. Theft certainly isn't. Let's go a little bit further. How about not cheating on your wife? It's a virtue in some places. You know, Mercy wasn't considered a virtue at all until modern Christendom. So a lot of the wrongs and rights that you take for granted do stem from objective truth in your society that stems from Judeo-Christian principles. You cannot have it if you just believe that the world and right is wrong. Right and wrong is how you perceive it to be.

Speaker12: [01:31:29] And those are the people who will be programming an all powerful AI.

Steven: [01:31:33] So I'm not a.

Speaker12: [01:31:34] Doomsday theorist.

Steven: [01:31:35] Yet. I just have some serious concerns.

Gerald: [01:31:37] Yeah, Well, and do you remember when Apple came out with like their new face technology to open the phone and it couldn't distinguish between Asian people? Yeah.

Casey: [01:31:45] It was like.

Gerald: [01:31:46] No, it's true. Like they literally had. We did a story on this like I can't fault.

Steven: [01:31:50] The AI for that.

Gerald: [01:31:52] And it couldn't. No, it was the programming bias. Like the problem with this was apparent from the very beginning, right? You were.

Steven: [01:31:58] I'm pretty sure some of the programmers were Asian.

Speaker12: [01:32:00] I bet you I bet you the programmer who was Asian found out when it opened his.

Steven: [01:32:05] Phone for his uncle and he was like, Oh shit. No, no, no.

Casey: [01:32:09] Well.

Gerald: [01:32:09] It wasn't that it didn't open at all. It just it opened for everyone. It opened for every Asian.

Casey: [01:32:13] It was so funny.

Gerald: [01:32:15] It was hilarious. We're like all Asians look alike thing. It was like, Oh, in the news. And they're like, Of course they don't look alike. And iPhone's like, opening for every age. And you're like, Well, I don't know what to do now.

Steven: [01:32:24] Yeah, exactly. What was the point there? I just wanted to you just wanted to get your jabs in on the Asian.

Gerald: [01:32:28] Shoehorn that in. I was trying to say, like, you're saying that there's bias, right? No, the bias was that.

Casey: [01:32:35] Had like.

Gerald: [01:32:36] An AI. It didn't have enough time to kind of start distinguishing between these different facial features to hone the technology.

Speaker12: [01:32:43] They're far more similar with Asians. I know. Look, you want to know proof everyone in here? Well, actually.

Steven: [01:32:48] Hoodie is partially ethnic. And then you have Tim, who's part Italian. But the point is.

Speaker12: [01:32:52] We're all basically white guys.

Steven: [01:32:54] It's very easy to distinguish between our faces. That's fair. Take. Take ten Chinese.

Speaker12: [01:33:01] Citizens right now, the average in the same town. It's going to be harder.

Steven: [01:33:05] For AI to distinguish.

Speaker12: [01:33:06] Black hair.

Steven: [01:33:08] Dark eyes.

Speaker12: [01:33:09] Fine facial features, oval face, all ten.

Gerald: [01:33:12] That's a fair point.

Speaker12: [01:33:13] Doesn't mean it's racist. They're beautiful. No, no, of course they're beautiful people.

Steven: [01:33:16] They're just beautifully similar. Yes.

Speaker12: [01:33:21] You're six five, Tim. What are you, five, nine, 5958. Okay. Five nine if you see. Okay. But no one bats an eye.

Steven: [01:33:30] Right. Okay.

Speaker12: [01:33:30] I'm like six two. If you see A65 Asian, you're.

Steven: [01:33:33] Like, What the hell happened in that.

Speaker12: [01:33:34] Genetic. It's very atypical.

Gerald: [01:33:38] There's an American somewhere in that line.

Speaker12: [01:33:39] Yes, exactly. So my point is.

Steven: [01:33:44] Come on.

Speaker12: [01:33:45] Let's not.

Steven: [01:33:46] Blame AI for, you know, crimes that it didn't commit. Fine. All right. Let's grab another chat.

Jim Breuer: [01:33:51] From.

Speaker19: [01:33:51] Lulu participants. Hey, a question for Jim. Have you encountered some woke politics or policies behind the scenes while working in Hollywood that made you feel that you may feel comfortable sharing? Example A decision to include or exclude something or cast or not cast certain people.

Jim Breuer: [01:34:08] To be honest with you, I left a long time ago. So. So I got to be honest, you know, I'd love to find a thing, say, Yeah, but like, in 1999, 2000, I was done, right? I do know they weren't. I had a show that that I remember the whole room was excited about. And it was my wife finding Jesus, which was true. Yeah. And I'm. I was, you know, like the normal guy trying to figure this all out, bring my dad. And the whole room was like, Oh, my God, let's do it. We this is kind of risky. It was Fox, and about 20 minutes later, I knew which lady didn't want it. And she was like, No, we're not doing this. Oh, really? Doing this? And I 100% believe it was a God thing. You're not going to find God on television at all. It was especially back then on, but not so much. We need a gay. We need someone who's Asian.

Steven: [01:35:03] You more so had to deal with the personal backlash just when you came out against the vaccine.

Jim Breuer: [01:35:07] When I came out against the vaccine, you know, all the all the front jackasses came out, right? You had your Keith Oberman's Shunkashuto.

Speaker12: [01:35:18] It's uncanny. Gunshot. That's true.

Jim Breuer: [01:35:23] Oh, Don Lemon.

Casey: [01:35:27] Yeah. Yeah. I hate white.

Jim Breuer: [01:35:29] People. Come here.

Casey: [01:35:30] Sweetheart. Yeah.

Steven: [01:35:31] His newsdesk is a post.

Casey: [01:35:33] Like.

Jim Breuer: [01:35:34] You know, all the jokesters came out, but they don't mean anything. Once you see what their arm is made of, they don't. I'm not frightened of them whatsoever.

Speaker12: [01:35:42] Well, and.

Steven: [01:35:42] That's also something to that I respect a lot about. And same like we've talked about, Nick, is you chose to you didn't have to. You chose to do your own thing back before podcasting was really a thing. He said, I'm going to do my thing. And you got roped into doing some projects, appearing in some films because people wanted you to be a part of it. You weren't clamoring and banging on that door, which is a good place to be. That's where you want to be. Yeah.

Jim Breuer: [01:36:01] No, I you know, I was for a while, I wanted to be a movie star and a TV star. And then after a while, seeing every angle. Well, yeah, you know, I got to say, Chappelle saved my life, man. Dave Chappelle. We were on half baked, and he looked at me and I'll never forget. He was always years ahead of me as far as being deep. But he goes, Jim, man, be careful. I said, Well, he goes, I see the way they're looking at you. You're next. It's just the way he said it and and the emotions he put into it. And we knew each other for I knew I couldn't figure out really what he's talking about. But that was that was a moment to I walked away. So yeah, once I said, you know, you're on to something when the media is coming after you. Right? And when I said the vaccine thing and still will stand by any of that, the way they came at me, I knew I was on to the right thing. Because as long as God's front and center right, I have nothing to fear, right?

Steven: [01:37:04] No, I think that's a good point. And I have an immense amount of respect for for stepping out and taking taking those dings. Let's grab some more Chad.

Speaker19: [01:37:11] Thrice Fan oh three question for Stephen. Do you foresee an AI takeover of our institutions, academia, business, kids, education, entertainment, etcetera?

Steven: [01:37:20] Ooh, you know, that's interesting because there'll be this struggle of power because the teachers unions won't allow that to happen. So what will probably happen is even though those are probably, for example, and I'm not saying that this would be appropriate, but I'm saying if you're just arguing as far as I efficiency where it could efficiently maybe replace people certainly would be, for example, grading tests. Right. That's something that could be appropriate for a I don't mean teaching young children, right. The nurturing aspect, but in other words, putting it into the system like a Scantron. That's something that would make sense. Teachers unions won't allow that to happen. And of course, government officials, most of their jobs could. If you're going to talk about something that could be automated, could likely be automated, for crying out loud, most of our politicians, you'd have you'd have better representatives if you just had a Senate lottery. But they're not going to be affected. It'll be you. It'll be you working the cash register. It'll be you working the assembly line. It'll be you who's working in a factory, right? And they'll say, Well, look at all these tech jobs, which is why they also want to bring people in on on H-1B visas, you know, in record numbers from countries like Bangladesh and India, where these people come in and they replace you for pennies on the dollar to work those jobs, it's very hard for you to compete. And then the good paying American jobs. And I'm not saying that we need to live in the Stone Age, right? Things do evolve, but you will always find those in power are less affected by the automation, just like they're less affected always almost invariably by the stock market ebbs and flows than you are. You will bear the brunt of it. They will not. So I wouldn't think that education would allow that.

Jim Breuer: [01:38:49] That's an incredible point that you talked about bringing in foreigners. I love Indian people. I know Trump. But I remember going to literally Kansas City doing a gig and some other place, and it happened twice. And I made a it I went to a park because I like being in nature wherever I am. And I go there to clear my mind. And I see about 55in the middle of nowhere. Kansas City and. And there's about 55 to 60 people from India and they're playing cricket. I'm going Kansas City suburb has all these.

Speaker3: [01:39:23] What the what is going on.

Jim Breuer: [01:39:25] This is the last and then one other and they say, oh yeah, they're all they're all tech guys that they fly in and they work for Walmart or they work for this organization. I was like, Wow.

Steven: [01:39:35] And then, by the way, once you left, they were still playing that cricket game six days later. Yes, they.

Casey: [01:39:39] Were.

Jim Breuer: [01:39:41] You're absolutely right. How do you goes.

Casey: [01:39:43] On forever.

Jim Breuer: [01:39:44] Game that last forever.

Speaker12: [01:39:46] So I wanted to get into cricket, but.

Steven: [01:39:48] I'm not retired.

Speaker12: [01:39:52] What do you think there? I mean, I think.

Steven: [01:39:53] Yeah, I don't think they're going to allow it to automate their stuff.

Gerald: [01:39:56] No, I think you're right, though. I mean, one thing is truck drivers, right? That was one of the major concerns right now, the technologies. And they're going to be truckers that are just out of work. And I look, I don't stand in the way of progress when we can start to automate some of these jobs. I understand it. We have to transition. And sometimes people get left behind in that. But I think you're right. You've been so kind of forced to protect these unions over time because they're your voting base. They're your donor base. It's you said the assembly line, the truckers, the, you know, teachers unions. Finally, maybe they'll serve some good. Yeah, slow down. I just a little bit because they'll stand in the way of it, I think.

Steven: [01:40:30] I think they have regulations to protect themselves regardless as to the acceleration for everyone else, unfortunately. And then you'll get more of a two tiered system where you'll be blamed for not trusting your institutions. Why don't you trust your heroes? Public teachers? Sorry, I know you might have like firefighters. No, no, no public teachers. They're the real heroes.

Gerald: [01:40:46] Yeah, they stayed out of the classroom for two years. Yeah, they're heroes bravely for doing that. Bravely.

Steven: [01:40:52] Full pay sniffles.

Gerald: [01:40:53] Yes, that is neat.

Speaker19: [01:40:54] Next chat from big consultant question for Crowder. Regarding the ethical question of AI, do you still believe world leaders care about ethics, vaccination, passports, lockdowns, masks just happened without the ethics discussion?

Steven: [01:41:08] I think some people do. I think some people do. And not just world leaders, but I think some people in positions of power care about ethics. A lot of them don't believe me. It's not lost on me that power corrupts. I think Elon Musk cares. I think Elon Musk and I disagree on a lot politically, but I see a man who cares. I think some representatives do. I think the fact that DeSantis spoke out against Bud Light and the reengineering of the United States culture, even though they've donated to his campaign, you know, I see that as as a good thing. But there aren't enough, certainly not as far as international governing bodies. I don't trust anyone who's in, you know, in the UN. Of course, when you look at a lot of these other countries and international interests, it's often the interests of people who are in positions of power. And so I think that you'll probably need look, this is why a microcosm of this is those of you right now, if you're watching for free, you know, you join up on mug club. Sure. Look, it's a small portion, but you know, the power to fight back and beat all the late night hosts here is it's a thorn in their side. It's enough. Right. And so I think that conservatives want should want, I should say, people in positions of power, people in positions who can exert influence. I mean, that's why they clamored for someone like Elon Musk or even made the mistake with Kanye West. And you're like.

Speaker12: [01:42:20] Oh, they jumped the gun on that one.

Steven: [01:42:23] Because you understand the influence. But yeah, unfortunately, it's kind of one of it's one of life's greatest ironies. Once you reach that summit that it changes you. And I've seen it happen and I might go a little far the other way where you guys are like, Oh, you're a little bit of a hermit or like, I don't I try and avoid. I communicate with you when we read comments or I do live shows. Yeah, I don't go out to big gatherings. I try and stay away from it because it can just even if people mean they mean well, it can infect you any time you have a position of influence and people are like, Oh wow, I really am something. No, no, no, no. You need to humble yourself every single day. And so it's not lost on me that people in positions of power, their first question is not often, okay, is this ethically sound? But there are some. And that's why I think it's an important job to identify them and support those people where we can and hold them accountable when they drop the ball. But I don't I don't think all people in positions of power are bad. That's just my opinion.

Gerald: [01:43:23] Yeah, Well, and I think too, I don't want people to say, Oh, it's our leaders that are doing the wrong thing and absolve themselves of responsibility. A lot of times the leadership is just a reflection of their constituents in a lot of ways, right? Yeah. And so they they move with the wind of the constituents. And so if you move your position and make it vocal and make sure that they understand where you stand on something, a lot of times you can move people. Now there are people that are going to do other things that are more self-serving. They get tied up in, I guess, the swamp or something like that and do something to try to enrich themselves, making hundreds of millions of dollars off of a $300,000 a year salary. Who knows how that happens. Maybe it's the insider trading or something like that, something like that. But if you guys push back enough, then the leadership starts to resemble you more than it resembles leftists. I think it can.

Steven: [01:44:08] I think it's a little bit a little bit too optimistic at this point. That's why people are so angry with.

Speaker12: [01:44:12] Voting with the way.

Steven: [01:44:13] The elections exist, with the way big tech exists. In other words, Bud Budweiser was not responding to people wanting this from those in positions of power. Bud Light was trying to reengineer people in positions you see, even like Biden, this is not even something that would be mainstream in his in his voting constituency, but it is in the DNC platform transitioning children. I don't think that they are representing the will of the people anymore. They're trying to subvert it.

Gerald: [01:44:38] I think a lot of them are. But I think that's.

Steven: [01:44:40] You can't just change it within the system anymore.

Gerald: [01:44:42] No, no, no, I understand. I think. But I still think that people have more power than they give themselves credit for. Right. So choosing to watch us versus watching CNN, that's one step, right? Getting your information for more independent news sources to make sure that you're informed correctly. That's one step. Making sure that your kids aren't necessarily in public schools because it's a terrible place of indoctrination for your kid. That's another step. Like there are all these proactive things that you can do along the way to strip a little bit of power and every step from the people that are trying to reengineer. So that's what I'm saying, not just voting, because I understand that can be rigged. Well, this.

Steven: [01:45:11] Is my problem, right, with people on the right. When people are talking about it's like, look, you don't want conservatives to be beholden to YouTube, Facebook, Right. You don't. We hear you. Yeah, but a lot of people on the right are. And that's the business model. And that's what that's that is entirely what we have a problem with. And there are some people who I think are good people who are doing that, but they say this is the way business is done. It's not the way it has to be done. So it's not necessarily representing your will. If you are watching right now and if you are supporting a lot of conservative content out there, chances are you don't want the business model to, in perpetuity, be beholden to you, to be beholden to Facebook, be beholden to Twitter. That's why the excitement is where it is when you're talking about rumble and you see that number transfer over. But that's not the people who are sometimes in.

Speaker12: [01:45:51] Position of power.

Steven: [01:45:52] Because it's easier. And so they would rather try and subvert your will and convince you that it's better for you. That's what I have always had a problem with. I don't know if there's anything else, but Did you have anything, Jim?

Jim Breuer: [01:46:03] No, I just, you know, I always go back to the simplicity of of coal. Bob Marley said it awesome quote, He said, All governments are illegal. And at the end of the day, when you just break down basic humanity, it is there's no reason to have a government because when you have government, there is no God leading the people. What's leading the people are Budweisers and all the money. When money is God, you're never going to have a good outcome. That is the root to all evil. So that's why yeah, you know, we can debate all we want, but at the end of the day, your leaders are going to be persuaded by money. And until we find any human being that's not persuaded by money, that's when I'll start giving a little attention to it. Which is why I'm buying land in Tanzania.

Casey: [01:46:51] Yeah, exactly.

Steven: [01:46:52] No one. No one there has money.

Casey: [01:46:54] No one has.

Jim Breuer: [01:46:56] Or Egypt. I go to Egypt.

Speaker12: [01:46:57] Yeah, exactly.

Steven: [01:46:58] Well, you have money, so you go to Tanzania and boy, you are just making it rain. Like, oh, I don't know how they speak.

Jim Breuer: [01:47:03] How much is this? $50.

Steven: [01:47:05] What's the demographic in Tanzania, huh? What's the demographic in Tanzania? What are most people? Are they like?

Jim Breuer: [01:47:11] No, there's cities there and there's you know, there's the Bush ethnic.

Speaker12: [01:47:14] Is it Aborigines? Aboriginal?

Jim Breuer: [01:47:16] No, no, no. It's Swahili. Swahili.

Gerald: [01:47:20] Oh.

Jim Breuer: [01:47:21] There's many there's a whole there's a couple of different tribes.

Casey: [01:47:24] But either.

Speaker12: [01:47:24] Way, you live as a.

Steven: [01:47:25] Sultan when you go there. Yeah, yeah, you go there.

Speaker12: [01:47:28] Oh, here comes Brewer. Oh, it's the man with the chicklets. We call him Chicklets. Chicklets, Chicklets. All right. Brewer is the guy with Chicklets. All right. Jim Brewer, dot com universe on Fridays. We will see you tomorrow. And by the way, tomorrow we're only Tuesday.

Steven: [01:47:41] Oh, my God. I can't believe it's still today. Tomorrow, Wednesday. No, tomorrow's Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
