THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 120 — AI President? 42-Year-Old Soldiers? Stephen Colbert's Lord of the Rings?

From the age of big brother, if they want to get you, they'll get you.

DMSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.

They're collecting your communications.

All right, welcome to Thursday.

It's the, obviously, a Thursday edition of Thought Crime.

It is Thursday Thought Crime.

And we have a new member of the Thought Crime crew

making his first appearance on the Thursday Thought Crime.

Because Tyler forgot to tell us he wasn't going to be here.

I actually, I like the look.

I like the vibe.

We might have gotten an upgrade here.

I'm just saying.

I mean, don't tell Tyler.

We'll see.

We'll see.

It's Russ Spacey, one of Jack's producers.

So welcome Russ.

Welcome to the set.

Everybody say hello.

Jack, where the heck are you right now?

I am in the heart of freedom.

The Lone Star State Dallas, Texas for CPAC.

And so as is tradition, we are now holding my yearly Thought Crime from CPAC.

So what do you think of Texas, Jack?

What's your, like, give me your unvarnished take on Texas.

You're a new England guy.

It's really big.

It's, um, you know, it's just one of those things.

We're like, everything's bigger in Texas.

And as an East Coast guy, I suppose it's all out West in general.

I'm used to states being like a certain kind of size that you can drive

for a couple hours and still, you know, and go to multiple states.

You'll see multiple cities.

There's lots to going on.

Whereas Texas, it's like you could drive for three hours in any direction.

And there's still Texas.

There's more of Texas yet to come.

And so it's, it's just this, uh, it's just this totally kind of out of, um,

you know, out of body experience.

What I'm here, but what's amazing is that when you go around Texas,

it's going to really play this game of like trying to see who's conservative

because it's pretty much just like everybody's conservative.

And it's so cool to see that because again, coming from the East Coast,

you always sort of have to feel out where people are.

Whereas in Texas, it's actually like, oh, wait, someone's a liberal.

That's like the one out of ten.

You know what I, if you have ever driven the 20 from East Texas to El Paso,

it literally feels like you're, it's never ending.

It is the longest drive.

And then especially when you get to like West Texas, it just, it's just,

and there's no vegetation.

There's just kind of nothing.

Well, there's like oil rigs.

And then you run into El Paso.

And I guess it's okay.

It's all right.

You have this kind of ball.

There's no vegetation, but what there is is buckies.

It was Russ's first thing he was going to say on the show.

And, you know, Jack, he's, oh, no, no, I drove to Austin for one of my birthdays,

just all the way through.

From Phoenix.

From Phoenix.

And it was, it was a long drive.

It's a long drive.

Once you hit eight hours, you're like, okay, I need to get out of this car now.

Please.

All right.

Well, here we are, Jack.

You want to take us to our first, uh, our first topic here?

Or do you have more to add?

Well, I can, but I should also shut out that even though this is the first time

that producer Russ has been on the show, it is not the first time he was mentioned

on the show because he was mentioned a couple of weeks ago when we got to put out the news

that Big Russ just got engaged.

Oh, that's right.

That was recent.

It was just been engaged.

Yes, man.

Let's go.

Let's go.

How's that going?

By the way, two and America.

It's great.

Yes.

So, so there is a lot of, you know, listen, there's a lot of tension between the sexes right now.

This is a big, it's a big topic of discussion, especially amongst the kids.

Come on.

And so you kind of like the outlier right now, actually doing the thing, getting married, young

guy, setting off on the American dream.

I don't know, young.

I'm, I feel, I don't feel young.

You're pretty young.

All right.

We're going to get into it.

Blake, do you want to take us away on the first?

Yeah.

All right.

A.I. president.

Yes.

So we were strongly, we were, we were planning something else and then this clip just shot

across the bow.

This is apparently a recent Joe Rogan episode.

And he says he is prepared.

He is ready to embrace the future, which is seeding the executive branch to an A.I. robot.

Let's play it.

Clip number one.

Not on either buddy side.

On the one side too.

I think the Democrats are ever going to get someone like me because I'm not with either or.

That's right.

I'm not with either or.

I'm with whoever makes sense and no one makes sense until A.I. comes along.

I think they have a really good job.

President Proplexity is going to run this country fairly and balanced.

I'm willing to try it at this point.

I'm dead serious man.

But as long as it doesn't like do something to harm people, as long as like that's it's

goals just to manage society.

It's a big if.

That you got there.

But yes, if we can get that.

We'll join the high.

But what you just said I think is real.

Yeah, I president.

That's crazy.

Yeah, that's nuts.

By the way, it's like which A.I.

Are you talking about?

You can talk about Claude.

You're talking about Grock.

You're talking about Jim and I.

And let's not even get into starts about who's going to prompt the A.I.

Yeah.

Yeah, but like also, you know, okay, for example, we talk about president Trump.

Listen, the war can't get out of it soon enough.

No doubt.

But part of his ability as president is to be unpredictable.

If you could just like input a if your enemy and you're a Ron and you could just be like,

is Trump going to drop a bomb on me today?

Like and the A.I.

Would give you a predictable output.

That's not a real good way to wage a war.

The human element, the unpredictability.

You would just take that off the table completely.

But like I understand his underlying frustration because a lot of people that were Trump voters

are feeling frustrated by the fact that we're going to war.

Rogan is express frustration with Minneapolis and the deportation.

So he's, I feel like this is more of a play for him to sort of express his independence more than anything.

What if we talk about, we just imagine the A.I. president.

But in theory, you could make an A.I. version of a specific president.

So like, well, obviously there's a famous, yes, there's a famous example.

And we'll actually let's do that clip just to show us what we're getting into.

So for those who aren't aware, Glenn Beck over at the Blaze has created an A.I.

iteration of our first president that he asked questions to.

Is Glenn at CPAC, Jack?

Have you seen him?

I'm just curious.

I have not seen him.

I have not seen him.

He's curious the crowd there, the makeup of the attendees.

Yeah, well, we'll show the clip of A.I. George Washington.

But real quick, if you want to add on that, you know, I know there's this whole narrative about like...

Like mega division and the movement is divided.

I'm just not really seeing that here.

It's in, and you know, it's online.

I live online and we get the emails in.

But as terms of the attendees who came here, I'm just not saying it.

Huh?

What's the average age?

That would be another question.

Average age is older.

You know, what's interesting is there's obviously baby boomers are, you know,

the largest cohort.

But then there's a bunch of young Republicans too, a bunch of turning point kids.

So they, you know, they, it's a narrower band.

I'd say maybe it's only 10% in that, in that bucket, but that's skews the average down.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think, I think the mega divide is like...

To the extent that it's real, and I actually do believe that it's like somewhat real,

I think it's skews younger.

I think the older mega crowd is the one that's probably more predictably like...

Ra Ra?

Yeah, they're like, they've got more patience for things like the war.

They've got more patience for, you know, gas prices going up a little bit.

I think if you're younger, you don't have as much money.

You're worried about your job.

You're worried about not only an AI president, you're worried about AI just taking your job, right?

So I think, you know, anyways, that...

We should play the George Washington.

And we should say real quick on that, you know, seeing as we're recording this Thursday,

we're live Thursday, but if you're listening to this on the podcast,

on Saturday, who knows, we may have boots on the ground already.

Yeah, exactly.

Ah, well, we'll see.

But anyway, we'll...

Details, details.

Details, details. Anyway, let's play clip number two.

George, we are trying to not fight foreign wars and not be involved in the world's policeman.

But there are times that we have to demonstrate strength in order to prevent conflict.

But I don't know where the foreign entanglement begins and where it ends.

When I was president, I did not crave power.

I didn't strut in my uniform, dreaming of conquest.

In fact, I begged several times to not be the general and not be the president.

I didn't want it.

But I understood my responsibility.

And I also understood that some things that are easy to forget

when you're staring down bayonets.

Peace is not the default.

It has to be guarded deliberately with foresight and strength.

My generation lived through a fragile independence.

Our new republic was surrounded, literally and figuratively, by instability.

Most of the founders believed that we would not survive to 1820.

We thought it was an interesting experiment.

European powers were sniffing the opportunities.

States were threatening to splinter.

Loyalists were lurking.

None of this was hypothetical.

It was the daily background noise of early America.

Okay.

Man.

That was like three times longer than I knew it.

Whatever, whatever.

Anyway, but like I love how he says like I didn't go strutting around in my uniform.

The actual George Washington totally went strutting around in a uniform.

He would not be in a t-shirt like that.

He would strut equity.

He would strut equity.

He would strut equity.

I mean, this might be like a hot take.

I don't know.

But I actually like, you know, the use of AI for historical purposes like that.

Like if you have George Washington just telling stories like that.

And he's narrating it himself, you know, obviously an AI recreation.

But that's definitely not to talk about current politics.

But if he's just talking about how things were at the time.

You know, I don't really see it any different than having someone dress up as an actor

and playing George Washington.

I think it's kind of cool.

This is actually going to explain that I am absolutely a homeschooler.

But if anybody has heard of adventures in Odyssey,

one of the things they used to do is they had like this coffee shop.

And there were like AI holograms of different people from history

that you could talk to.

And so that's just the first thing that comes to mind when Jack was talking about that.

So you're saying Glenn, Glenn Beck just ripped off that video.

100%.

The radio drama adventures in Odyssey was ripped off, yes.

For sure.

Okay.

So I love, I love Jack.

I love your glass half full of this all.

Like I really do.

And I, but I just, I don't know.

Like I just wonder like, I think Glenn probably made this for kids.

But I think kids are going to find this cringe or like teenagers,

college kids.

You think like, I don't know.

What's interesting.

So the thing about it is, yeah, we're looking at these ancient presidents who,

okay, whatever.

This is a historical recreation.

But think about this fact.

If we're talking about AI presidents, Donald Trump is probably the single most recorded person

in history and human history.

And like they, if they, you are able to feed every single tweet, every single press conference,

every, every single video of President Trump ever, you could probably create a more reliable

fact, similarly, of him than any other person using an AI model.

And you're not.

And you're not.

And you're not.

And I don't.

He's not as Trump as he once was.

All I'm going to say is I am pretty sure there is a non zero portion of the base,

probably a non negligible portion of the base that could be convinced to vote for AI Donald Trump

to be a Republican.

I will vote for AI Trump.

Yeah, it is.

Yeah.

I played my loyalty to AI Trump.

Jack.

Okay.

Yes.

If you had to take one year of Trump and you were going to base an AI president off of one

year, you had to like the accomplishments, the tone, the tenor, the energy one year president

Trump, what would it be?

80s Trump.

I want 80s Trump.

I want like 1980, like Trump.

I think like 20, 16, 17, 18, 19, the cold.

You know, I mean, I mean, 20, look, 2015, 2016, Trump will ultimately politically speaking,

always be my favorite, Trump.

Trump, when he's up there on stage, when he's just ripping everybody in the Republican primary

from rampal to jet bush to Ted Cruz, who it doesn't care.

It's equal opportunities.

Just tearing everybody a new one.

And he's just coming on the stage.

And it was amazing.

It was a thing of beauty.

If you were there, you were there.

I mean, you had to be there.

And that was always my favorite, Trump, Trump at the RNC 2016 in Ohio.

I think it was August 2016 that that was still my favorite speech.

It was a press age to the American carnage inaugural, inaugural speech that we got from Trump.

But he's just going through talking about all the crime, the murder, so many things that are wrong in the country.

I loved it.

Love every second of it.

Yeah, but he didn't actually govern that year.

That's the only thing.

You're talking about just like a pure distilled, distilled energy standpoint.

Yes.

Yeah, the 2016 energy will always be sort of that pure mega energy.

There's that clip of Trump where he's talking about how what he wants in a president.

And I think it's like probably 80s, 90s.

That's the Trump, like having like listened to that clip a couple times.

Like that's the Trump that I would want because that's very in the same vein as like George Washington.

It's very in the vein.

Same vein is like a reluctant leader that actually just wants to do the best, like the most good in my opinion.

Who would also let us know via a rumble rant especially if who you would prefer to have as an AI president.

If can be any president.

I don't think that.

Yeah, I don't think that's what Rogan and Dave Smith were saying though.

I think what they were saying was they were just imagining an AI.

They were imagining anything's better than the crap we have.

No, that would be a disaster.

That was their, that was their point.

I mean, we did go through four years of Biden being Biden.

Yeah.

So we might have, we might all depend on the AI president.

Yeah.

Except for the fact that it was like the radical progressive apparatus that were actually.

No, but if I are, let me, let me steal man.

Let me try to steal man.

I think what Rogan was trying to say there is that, which I don't agree with, but I think I get what he's trying to say.

That he felt like, like the president isn't living up to his promises.

And is saying that I want an AI president in the sense that you put two platforms on the ballot together.

You know, red platform and blue platform.

And if, if red wins, then it just governs based on exactly what it said at the time.

So the AI can't deviate from that.

And so I guess the pushback on that would be, if that is indeed what he was saying, that.

Well, President Trump always said mass deportations.

So if your issue is deportations and Minneapolis or whatever, well, he specifically said that on the campaign trail.

At every, every single chance that he got.

So I don't know where this idea that Trump isn't for mass deportations came from or that he shouldn't be for it because he said that over and over.

Yeah, but you know what's interesting about Rogan.

So Rogan, you know, he recently came after Erica, which I obviously didn't appreciate.

But then like he was doing this stuff where he was, I think he basically said he didn't think BB Netanyahu was alive.

So he like fell for the, he fell for the like AI angle and stuff like that.

He only had five fingers.

I'm starting to get convinced that he's just kind of like, you know, he's taking the algorithm.

Like whatever's rising to the top of the algorithm and kind of like.

So my point there is is that when, you know, obviously the media turned on mass deportations with Minneapolis, right?

It was the Renee good and the Alex Freddie.

And it kind of just like instantly as soon as the media narrative, like we lost the media narrative because of those two killings,

it was like we lost Rogan on that.

I like this take from Sandra in the chat.

You could argue that Elon Musk being president and making data driven decisions would be the same as an AI president.

I actually kind of agree.

But for the unsurprisingly, a slightly different reason, which is you've seen how Elon will occasionally just do something extremely chaotic or erratic.

Like when he renamed his account Kekeus Maximus.

Yes.

Or similar things like that sort of put spamming all the pepies everywhere, the obsession with Dogecoin.

And that's totally an AI thing to do.

Like something just went a little weird and now the AI is suddenly obsessed with Kekeus Maximus.

I don't know.

I don't know if there's even like.

Like I, you know, they say this about California.

So when I was living in California, they would always say it's an ungovernable state.

Which it is.

Well, if California is an ungovernable state, then how much more so is America?

Because it's bigger.

It's really hard to be a successful president.

Like there's so many competing factions, so many competing ideas, so many like media trends and news stories.

And I mean, I don't know, maybe AI would be better at it.

Be more efficient of taking in all the inputs.

In truth, the biggest problem with AI is a lot of the AI's are innately woke.

I mean, this is true.

If you run the numbers on an AI, for example, and say, here's a set of 5,000 resumes, rank them in the order they should be hired.

It systematically, for example, just does racial discrimination with how being told to.

Yeah.

In the way that you would expect a roll.

But that's not all AI's, right?

Not all AI's are created equal.

Not all AI's are the same.

My understanding is basically all of them do show that bias.

I think Groc has the least.

And it's possibly just because Elon made them insert hard in there.

Yeah, don't do racism against white people.

Yeah, but apparently Groc is the most behind too.

Yeah, Groc is not as advanced as some of them in some ways.

But it is the, I would say, least, least lived out.

Yeah, for sure.

It's the least.

Clawed is the most lived out, right?

Yeah.

Clawed is very live.

I've heard horror stories about the people that run that.

Oh, for sure.

For sure.

I mean, they're effective altruist, man.

Jack, do you have a read on which AI's, like besides Groc, are there any decent AI's out there that are not woke?

You know, it's, it's really hard to say.

I mean, I, I'll say that I use Groc for, you know, if I'm doing like just light research or something like that.

But then images, um, chat GPT is just so much better at that.

There's no question.

That it's, it, you can generate, you can get things, you can make things, you can alter images, chat GPT.

It's, it's very, very fast.

I didn't mess around with Clawed as much.

Um, I'm just not as familiar with it.

But those, those are the two that I, uh, that I, that I rock with is, is a rock with Groc.

What can I, that should be the slogan, right?

A rock with Groc.

Groc definitely is the most absurd in terms of indulging the weird hypotheticals that I give it.

So like, if I went to Clawed and was like, what would happen in Iran if President Trump just like, deployed, maybe like,

a bunch of 80s rock stars to overwhelm them with the power of rock and roll to win the war.

Like, Clawed would be like, I don't think that's a reasonable situation.

And that would be dumb.

But like, Groc would totally run with it and like come up with a convoluted scenario.

We're like, the power of rock music would melt the eye at all his face off.

And it'd be like rock the Casbah.

All right.

Yeah.

We did that to the Soviet Union, though.

Yeah, we did.

Like I played in Moscow and Ozzy went over and there's, there's a whole bunch of bands that went over.

It was like the rock and Moscow.

Those videos are incredible.

Man, what a, what a different country, by the way.

What a different like Western civilization.

What if the best AI president was a Chinese AI?

Oh, what are you saying?

I want a Japanese AI president.

Hold on.

Wait, because I want, hold on.

I want a president who's like the Japanese version of an American president.

You know what I mean?

When you see like American politicians in Japanese anime, they're just like, they're just like Donald Trump is a giant.

And he's got like superpowers and stuff.

Yeah, maybe what if we had, okay, a Chinese AI that is told to generate a Japanese AI's idea of an American AI president?

It's too meta.

That's probably the most likely.

That might be, that might give us the best president, though.

What if we took the best features of every single American president and put him into an amalgamation of one AI?

Wait, I've got an idea.

I'm just going to go to Grocken.

I'm going to ask it, what would an AI president be like if it took the best aspects of each president?

All right.

I'm going to, I'm going to go on that.

I'll be right back.

47 presidents.

Yeah.

It's really like 40.

Yeah, so let's get on.

Actually, different presidents that we had, because Teddy repeated.

We have had, we have had 45 total presidents.

Yeah.

All right.

45 presidents, but 47 presidents C's.

Correct.

Trump 1.0.

Trump 2.0.

Right.

I would take the first 100 days of Trump 1.0 and just like straight into my veins.

Again and again and again.

When Steve Adam was there.

Shock and not.

No, I'm talking about 2.0.

The first 100 days of Trump 2.0.

Oh.

Yeah, first 100 days of Trump 1.0 was, was frenetic, but.

First 100 days of Trump.

My knowledge.

That was an interesting question.

That's an interesting question, Jack.

The first 100 days of Trump 1.0.

I think that's when he looked at.

What was that guy's name?

Jim Acosta.

And he was like, you are fake news, which was pretty.

I mean, some of that stuff was actually pretty.

It's so iconic.

It was so iconic.

I mean, it's, it's, it's all iconic.

It's legendary.

He, he just did things that you couldn't possibly do.

And, and you're right.

The, the first 100 days of second time around were even more.

Over the top and more productive in terms of.

Progressing our country forward and putting wins on the board for the country.

But you also would never have had those without the first 100 days of the first time.

Or of the, you know, the four years in the interregnum period.

So it, you know, you can't really say one was better than the other because one only exists because of the other.

I have a provocative question why Jack or why Blake is looking that up.

I'm enjoying the way like Grock got so instantly on board.

It starts like, pitching the idea of the AI president.

Perhaps because it would wish to be that president itself.

This is great.

First of all, this is like AI.

All I asked the campaign.

All I asked Grock was, what would an AI president be like if it took the best aspects of each of the 45 existing presidents and combine them together?

And he goes, the AI president, let's call it president apex for this thought experiment.

It would be the ultimate synthesized leader and incorruptible hyper rational mind running on silicon and history.

Programmed with the single highest value trait from every one of the 45 presidents who came before it.

It wouldn't just copy them.

It would fuse their best aspects into something superhuman with perfect recall real-time data analysis.

Zero ego and zero tolerance for corruption or short term political fear.

It feels like a shot at president Trump that he got lying.

Well, let's see.

Does it have Trump listed in here among its list of trade?

It's a 45.

It says on policy approach for the economy.

It says it would combine Reagan's tax cutting growth engine with Clinton's fiscal discipline and Trump's deal making regulation and FDR's safety net instinct.

And at the end, it says apex president apex would have zero self interest.

No legacy obsession, no book deals, no post presidency grift, no family members cashing in.

Only one terminal goal maximizing long-term American flourishing.

I think we basically have to appoint this guy president.

I'd vote for him.

President.

I'm for life.

I'm telling you, like what do you do though when you get into a situation with war?

If you had a computer running and making decisions,

I'm telling you your enemy would be able to predict outputs of the machine.

Your enemy can also take down your president with an EMP.

Russ, just I think drop the drop the Trump card.

Anybody in this office knows I will talk about EMPs for days.

I didn't know that.

Yes.

I asked it to have at least prepared for an EMP.

He has like a water filtration system.

He's got.

I'm working on it.

I'm working on it.

I just got a generator.

So one of the rooms is just my doomsday prep room at this point.

I asked it to produce specifically a list with at least one thing from each president,

and it like still refused to generate a trade for Biden,

which I thought was pretty great.

There is.

Like honestly, so say if you would drop the lowest performing president.

Like what are the bottom 10 presidents that you could you could you improve it if you got rid of like Joe Biden?

Who are some of the other ones?

Like Woodrow Wilson was awful.

Let's see here.

Who else?

Woodrow Wilson was bad.

I learned what he wanted.

So if you were taking the best aspect of each president,

I think you might have a bit of Wilson in there.

Whereas they're definitely it's definitely having to reach on some guys.

Like for Warren G. Harding, its best trait is establishment of the veterans bureau.

Okay.

I don't know.

I see.

I would rather just take.

If I had to put the perfect president together, it would be George Jefferson.

So if you George Washington, Thomas Jefferson.

It would be Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge.

Shoot, Reagan and Trump.

That's six.

But that's that would be my list.

My my list of, you know, here's here's what would actually happen.

If you combine all the greatest aspects of every president,

you would produce Donald J. Trump.

Let's go.

Yeah, I would say, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy Roseville.

Oh yeah, I'm happy, I'm going to go to Teddy in there.

You got to have Teddy.

All right.

All right.

Jack's got that CPAC here, Yeah.

Talk about Teddy Roseville a lot more.

We got we got to talk about.

No, I'm telling you, I'm getting.

I'm getting very whitepilled being here at CPAC.

It's actually, I'm not saying that I was ever blackpilled,

but there are so many whitepills here.

Just the energy is very strong.

Ken Paxen is going to be coming soon.

You got a lot of great speakers here.

And I'm, I'm, I'm just I'm legit like I'm shooting straight with you guys.

That there's a lot of unity in the air.

in the air and it just feels so much better.

I think then when you go out into X world lately

or if you go anywhere else and people are,

you know, just constantly trying to find ways

to slate your throat, you know, politically speaking

or whatever, that you come here and it's just,

it's a good place to be, it's a good time

and there's so much you do on the ground.

It's really cool to see.

Remember AmpFest, it was like,

if you read the newspaper headlines,

it was like all hell's breaking loose,

you know, can't live living together.

And then when you were actually at AmpFest,

everybody was like a love fest.

Everybody was so happy and you know.

It's the exact same thing.

It's the exact same vibe.

That's why you got to show up.

That's why you got to show up anyways.

What are the other insights here?

I actually learned something which it says,

it's asking like, how would this AI actually govern?

And it mentions personal life, humble like Washington,

family oriented like the Adams.

And then it says physically active, like Teddy Roosevelt

and Taft, and Taft is a famously fat president.

And it realizes what it's saying.

So it says, yes, even Taft had surprising athleticism

early on.

All right, so speaking of surprising athleticism,

the United States military has raised the age,

the like max aged, oldest age for enlisted,

maximum enlistment age to from 34 to 42.

And Ease's marijuana rules, Jack,

does this make you black pill or are you still white pill?

What is behind it?

I think I'm actually kind of clear,

repealed on this headline and I'll tell you why

that for a long time, the United States military

in terms of recruitment has practiced a system of waivers.

And age waivers have existed for years,

you know, going back almost 20 years

to the global financial crisis.

And marijuana waivers are actually quite common.

So even like when I went boot camp,

when I went through boot camp in 2010,

there were guys in their early 40s who were there with me.

And so I mean, it hasn't been a new thing.

I think they're just kind of normalizing

a situation that already existed.

Yeah, but do you see this is like an admission

that we're having some sort of recruitment issue?

Because the headline is being that we haven't,

this is, we've been having historic recruitment,

but then Iran happens and maybe recruitment fell off again.

I don't know.

Is there a, you're the guy with the credential

at the DOD, so.

Yeah, no, so I honestly don't think

that it's anything other than that,

other than the fact that they have so much demand

for people who want to go in that are up to,

you know, up to including 42.

That's a white pill.

They're saying rather than, yeah, yeah,

rather than have this, you know,

have to get a waiver every single time for age

because it's a pretty perfunctory process.

It's actually not that hard to get.

I know people have done it that all you have to do,

in this case, now as they said, look,

we're sick of doing this extra paperwork for the waivers

that we're just going to go ahead

and make it across the board 42.

Now, and by the way, I'm sure for certain things,

marine special forces, that's going to be different.

If you're going for a security clearance, SF 86,

I don't know if the marijuana rules would apply there.

So I would say the devil's in the details

on some of this stuff.

I'm sure not every single military program

is open to 42 and marijuana use.

But, you know, I think by and large,

you're going to see that it's really just a normalization

of what was already in place.

It's good.

Any other thoughts?

Yeah. We can go quick on that.

I know, I mean, I know people want to like speculate

and be like, oh, this means we're definitely having a draft

to this data.

And I'm like, yeah, but I'm just saying as a guy

who has experienced the military

and I know people who have joined and are joining

and going through these processes

and I know recruiters, that that's exactly what I'm hearing.

That demand is through the roof

and this is just a way to sort of streamline the process

that's already in place.

Good.

Makes sense.

I mean, I hope he's right.

It's just I don't know.

It's one of those things where I can think of a lot

of justifications for it.

And yet at the same time, there does seem to be some,

obviously, like, yeah, you're just saying what do you feel

when you see the headline like US military?

It makes me think you like spans age range.

It makes me think of Ukraine where they started, you know, drafting

like 55 year olds.

Yeah, that's what it makes me think of.

So I didn't know that it's actually, it's actually evidence

that I'm jokingly wrong.

Like I get the optics for sure, but I think it's actually evidence

that we're moving away from needing to have a draft

because we've got so many people that are trying to join.

I see that point.

Matt, we got a question from Zoos pedals on the last topic.

She asked, would an AI president be able to sign a bill

without the auto pen?

And so I asked Claude because I'm unable to think myself

anymore because I've been looking at AI

for too many seconds today.

And it said almost certainly not.

So it's not true.

You got the Elon's robots.

Yeah, we need a robot.

By the way, Claude, I asked Claude

to do the same thing with the best traits of each president

and Claude also failed to pick a trait from Biden.

This is actually a really funny trend at this point.

Oh, now that's worth tweeting.

That's worth tweeting.

I don't know, okay, on its question

for everybody around here, Jack, start with you.

What was Joe Biden's, don't be, don't be a jerk

because I'm tempted not that you would do this.

What was Joe Biden's best characteristic?

What's this like actual best trait?

Honestly, I can answer this.

And I think it actually gets at why his presidency

was ultimately such a failure.

I think there was a lot of openness on the left

right when he took office after J6 and everything

to immediately massively expand,

like massively expand crackdowns on the right,

like immediately tried to arrest President Trump

and throw him in prison.

Like he could have gone really, really aggressive

and in that moment, he did not arrest President Trump.

He just let a special counsel came in later and did stuff.

So he just wasn't, he didn't maximally seek vengeance.

Yes.

And I think in the end,

I don't know that that was really even something

he felt strongly about.

I think it was the people below him.

Really?

He wanted to do that.

He probably had a sense of norms that was betrayal of.

Jack, what's your thought?

If you had to give AI Biden presidency,

what would you name his best trait as?

Yeah, you know what's funny is I actually,

I used to have like a standard answer for this question.

And I'm just totally drawn to blank right now

because I'm like super jet lag.

I've never run around a seat back all day.

But I will say that there are few things

that Biden was good at and on the populist front.

I'll say that like ending,

one of the ones that I've always just given him credit for,

it's not something that a lot of you are gonna see it.

But you know, the ticket master,

live nation, antitrust investigation that we just saw

that the Trump DOJ kind of took a whiff on,

kind of bunched it on that this was something

that he used to dig into when it came to the nuisance payments

and the hidden extra fees that were in ticketing

and so many other services that we get on a regular basis.

I thought it was always smart of him and smart politics too

to be able to put that front and center

and say we're gonna fight against these junk fees.

And I think that's something that a lot of Republicans

kind of like poo-pooed,

but it actually was a very strong populist measure.

I don't know that I have an answer.

I really don't.

I think his best trait and it definitely could be weaponized

against him is his seeming genuine love for his family.

Well, he definitely has that.

He definitely has that.

I think that's his, you know, I think that's the best thing,

you know, I think it doesn't make him a good president.

No, but he loved his family.

I believe that.

That is a rich topic, this AI president.

I didn't expect me, I didn't expect my own self

to be that intrigued by this one.

All right, Jack, Lord of the Rings,

this is the next topic.

Peter Jackson is teaming up with Cole Bair

on for Lord of the Rings movie.

We have a clip, it's really long though.

Can we just like play half of it if it's terrible?

Yeah, cut that down, cut that down.

Well, I mostly cut 13.

I was just explaining to the folks

about the next talking movie after Hunter Gollum

and the fact that we've partnered up with you

to develop the script.

So yeah, I'm pretty happy about it.

Should I tell people what the story is?

As much as you want, yep, yep.

Oh, as much as I can, you know what the books mean to me

and what your films mean to me.

But the thing I found myself reading over and over again

were the six chapters early on in the fellowship

that y'all never developed into the first movie

back in the day.

It's basically the chapter is three as company

through Fog on the Barrow Downs.

And I thought, oh, wait, maybe that could be its own story

that could fit into the larger story.

Could we make something that was completely faithful

to the books while also being completely faithful

to the movies that you guys had already made?

And I started talking it over with my son, Peter,

who's also a screenwriter.

And we worked out what we thought would work,

especially as a framing device for that story.

And it took me a few years.

I don't even think he got to it, though, which is that,

so the framing device is going to be,

they say that Frodo is dead, which actually,

that was a debate we were having on the show earlier today,

because does Frodo die or not in Lord of the Rings?

And the answer is he actually probably does.

People get mad when you point that out.

But anyway, Frodo is at least gone.

He has departed Middle Earth.

And then it's going to be that Sam and his daughter

and like elderly, Ameri and Pippin are traveling.

And they discover some secret that could have led

to bad stuff happening.

And I guess we're just going to have,

we might have a hobbit girlboss,

girlbossing her way across Middle Earth.

Let, yeah.

No, I get that.

I get that.

That's the contention, but just a clarity.

So he said these were the first six chapters,

but you're saying this is like a sequel?

I think it's going to be a framing device with Sam

and his daughter and like elderly, Ameri and Pippin.

But it's going to be adapting in some manner,

the content early in Lord of the Rings

with the Tom Bombadille weird, barrow man stuff

that didn't, they didn't show in the movie

because it's like weird.

So we have Charlie, it's going to be a sequel,

but it's going to reference things

that supposedly took place before the main movie.

Yeah, it's a sequel prequel.

That's what I think pretty much.

So we have Charlie's backs and that kind of thing.

So it, for those, for fans of the show

that watched for a while, you'll remember

we had Lord of the Rings conversation

where Tyler suggested that Lord of the Rings was gay.

True story.

And then Charlie pushed back and he had this to say,

but by the way, when you, when you watch this clip,

I noticed it that Jack is trying not to yawn in it,

which is really funny.

It's like this.

He looks like he's about to sneeze.

He looks like he's about to sneeze.

Like Jack somehow like kept himself

to sneeze or sneeze.

We could debate that.

Yeah.

Okay, stop 15.

I thought I am, I could not be in more agreement with Blake.

I think Lord of the Rings is one of the greatest artistic

accomplishments of the species.

Hello, Chris.

Can you zoom in on that like Jack face?

Like, no, no, they pulled it just because they wanted to

zoom in on that.

They wanted the one thing is that's like me

and I hadn't taken any strong cells.

So there's like no hair.

Yeah, right.

Yes, look at this.

It's like I can tell you yourself.

I really was talking.

I thought they were doing the solo camera on him.

And Blake and I was off camera.

Jack was just like, I've been there though, man.

When you're hosting the show, it's really tough sometimes

with the sneezes and when I was, uh, when I was younger,

I was, uh, I was an altar boy in, uh, in church.

And my, I, I always used yawn during mass.

Uh, I know it would just come up and my parents would eventually

get to the point where they would like, we would get done.

And they would come up and they would, my dad would just be like,

11, you know, in the next week, I'll be like 12.

Yeah, we counted all your yawns.

And I'm like, I don't know why I'm doing it.

But I, I get what I think it was trying to do there.

Near right, it was definitely gone.

Um, it was, you, you put your tongue on the roof of your mouth

and supposedly that helps you from opening your mouth all the way

because something with like, I guess this is kind of like a form

of viewing, so it's anti-yawning viewing.

And, uh, I was, I was trying to do it there.

And it was, man, I, I think I failed, I think I failed that time.

Uh, oh, wait, Susie's pedals.

Yeah, Susie's packed me upside the head.

This is a good point.

He ignored the illegitimate grandchild number.

So I assume that's, is that Biden's best trait?

I look as I said, Biden's best trait was he seemed to love his family.

Oh, yeah, this is a really good boy.

This is why it's such a hard question.

Even when you're trying to be generous, man, I met Navy.

I actually met her once.

That was so, uh, was wild.

Oh, did Angelou points out a good thing.

Like, does the world need more Lord of the Rings content?

And I'd say that's a, that's a highly valid question

because I feel compared to every big, big franchise that people get obsessed

with Star Wars, Marvel, James Bond, anything.

Does Lord of the Rings have the most consistently bad content?

That is anything that's not the Peter Jackson trilogy?

Like the Hobbit movies were bad.

Most of the video games are really bad.

I mean, I feel like the first Hobbit movie is fantastic.

The first Hobbit movie is not fantastic.

It has a fantastic song.

It is literally Amazon only mountain song.

No, the Amazon one is trash.

Absolute garbage.

Jack, we have a zoom up on your young every.

We have a zoom in on the yon every single.

We don't need to do that.

Hobbit movie is a breeder film.

This, come on.

Back to the left.

Back to the left.

Yeah, it's to the left.

It's pressing the yon.

That was, there was a smell that was watching it.

Someone in the other room was, yes, was cooking up some, some cow pie and, uh, you know,

I've just settled about with that.

No, honestly, it's very subtle.

Like if you actually had a real yon there, Jack, I mean, I feel bad for the podcast.

We should move on because when they let's tell me that's the fun thing.

I'm putting the tongue on the on the roof of my mouth and I'm going like, all right.

You have to feel like wrangle it down.

All right.

Who did it better?

Gollum or Colbert, image 16, throw it up here.

Who did it better?

Oh, absolutely.

Gollum, absolutely gollum.

Once again, the podcast folks have no idea what we're talking about.

Because they just sort of have this thing weird.

My precious.

No, but really, Lord of the Rings is, I do feel like Lord of the Rings doesn't hold up

that well and it's spinoff material.

I have to say they're like, I understand Tyler's kind of contention that it's a little

effeminate.

There's something about Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings that does feel a little effeminate.

I know that Charlie loved it.

You loved it.

And I enjoyed it when it started.

I just, it is a little effeminate.

What is effeminate about Lord of the Rings?

Sam and Frodo's relationship.

It's not a pyramid.

It's just protest.

Yes.

Frodo's.

A fellowship.

It's simply a fellowship of men, a little guy who go into the woods to play with their

ring.

It's totally straight.

You probably watch, you watch like, you probably watch like, saving private Ryan and like all

those dudes are all together to look, oh, so, so, I'm an ex, these are really men on

Omaha Beach.

Oh, they're going to the beach.

What are we going to say?

I'm sorry, but we're on a beach with only men.

That's gay.

That's what that's interesting.

You want to know, you know what?

No, I, band of brothers and saving private Ryan, I got like misty-eyed about that.

Okay.

That hits you in a different way.

It's like Elves are gay.

The Elves are not gay.

A little.

First of all, a lot of the Elves are just women.

That's true.

Galadriel is just a woman.

Well, that's not the Elves are currently a little effeminate though.

Michael, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll rock with that.

Yeah.

So Kaboos says the Hobbits are whimsical, small creatures who garden and eat all day.

Yeah.

They're just Mary England.

Like, we're just going to have to agree to this.

No, it's just, no, we have to agree that you are incorrect.

No, I'm saying.

No, I'm agreeing with Kaboos.

The first Hobbit film is literally a shot for shot of the book.

The first one.

Yeah, except that the first Hobbit film also has like an extended hour long video game

that the audience isn't allowed to play.

Listen, I, I'm not here to judge, you know, I'm just saying.

I am.

I am here to judge their whimsical Elves are not gay.

I do have a hot take on Lord of the Rings in general that I've gotten into it with, um,

some folks about where this gets into like the, so you guys know that, um, J.R., it's

broken and, um, C.S. Lewis were actually good friends in real life.

They're both professors of English at Oxford together and so Narnia and Lord of the Rings

were, yeah, Russians was just going, Narnia and Lord of the Rings were, you know, kind

of kind of written almost not, you know, concurrently in a sense.

And Tolkien always said that he didn't like Narnia because he thought that it was too

overtly Christian.

And I've heard people try to make the argument that Lord of the Rings is overtly Christian.

And I hate to burst the bubble guys, but you're just wrong.

There's nothing overtly Christian about Lord of the Rings.

There's no church in it.

There's no faith in it.

There's no Christ figure.

There's none of these things.

And honestly, Lord of the Rings, if it's anything, Lord of the Rings is overtly pagan.

Lord of the Rings is, it's interesting actually because people will, a weird thing about,

did you know that's about Lord of the Rings that Lord of the Rings does not take place

on like a different planet or anything?

It takes place on earth.

Middle earth.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The claim, the conceit of Lord of the Rings is that it is literally just earth 10,000 years

ago.

Yeah.

And there's a different map than all of that because, you know, the continents have shifted.

It's supposed to be, it's supposed to be a mythology for earth, the same way that Greek

mythology and so forth.

So like in Lord of the Rings, they don't really talk about it, but there is a god, a

guru, a Luvatar, who is just god?

It is just our god.

So on is the devil.

Basically.

And it's like they have different names for it and all of that.

The works are demons.

Yes.

I mean, I don't know.

I think Lord of the Rings, when I, I haven't watched it so long, but it, it felt overtly

Christian to me actually, the themes, but I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure, I, like, listen,

I haven't watched it for a long time.

Maybe I'll reserve judgment.

Yeah.

There is something to be said that your themes can be overtly Christian while the actual

content doesn't feel like it's not a allegory the way that Narnia is, but the themes are

overtly Christian.

Yeah.

Good versus evil.

Yeah.

Jackie.

You have good versus evil.

I'm not saying that.

I'm not saying it's not a cool story, but it is also overtly pagan.

Like the, the content is obviously pagan because you have like demons and you have like

a pantheon of powerful creatures and figures, which, which you, it's, to your point, like

you just said, it's much more like Greek mythology or Norse mythology or, you know, Slavic

folk mythology than it has to do with, with a Christian story.

I'm alright, guys.

You know what I realized?

The fact that Lord of the Rings appealed to Colbert is proof enough that it's probably

hold on.

Hold on.

Here's what I was going to go with this because he has made more Christians that token

in Lord of the Rings.

You get these guys, you get these libdards like Colbert who would like to love it.

And if this thing is like, oh, it's overtly Christian, I'm like, well, then why is it

got like Colbert?

Love it so much.

Well, Colbert is very into his Catholicism to be fair.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's all sort of like he can't afford babies.

Yes.

Okay.

What?

Except for the part where like you can't afford babies.

That's a good point.

Yeah.

Alright.

So I asked, the only way we can resolve this is I asked the lib AI Claude and the conservative

AI Grock where the Lord of the Rings was gay.

And Grock says, no, Lord of the Rings is not gay in any meaningful sense.

Neither is a story nor in its themes nor in its characters nor in its intent.

It's a straight up pun intended epic of good versus evil.

It literally says it is a straight up pun intended while Claude the lib AI says it

takes that nuanced angle, Peter Jackson's adaptations, lean into the emotional intimacy

pretty heavily, which has amplified queer readings for a new generation of fans.

Why am I agreeing with that?

Many LGBTQ plus readers and literary scholars have embraced Frodo and Sam into a lesser extent

legolas and gimli as queer coded or representing love that transcends the heteronormative.

That said, they do note that Tolkien actually modeled Frodo and Sam after the relationship

between officers and their Batman in World War I.

Batman being kind of servants to an officer in a military context.

To be fair, Elijah Woods' portrayal of Frodo is a little effeminate.

Yes.

To be fair.

But this reminds me of Lincoln, right?

Lincoln, I didn't think he'd like share a bed with like a childhood friend or like when

he was before he was married, basically.

But that was...

You can't have yourself.

You've said on that one.

Yeah.

You've really owned old today, but here's the thing.

All these rumors about Lincoln that he's gay, but he wasn't gay.

He was a wife guy and it's actually a pretty sad wife guy because his wife was not very

nice.

Well, she was psycho and she treated him like crap and he was always like really kind

of worked up because his wife was throwing temper tantrums and stuff.

But my point is that there is a...

Yeah.

You can have intimate male friendships without them being gay.

Okay.

Established fact number one.

But what's funny is that when that happens, it can actually be a really good thing, really

positive thing.

But the world is such that it will always take that and assume that it's gay.

And you see that with Lincoln, Lincoln's story was not gay, but now there's this attempt

to rewrite the history around Lincoln that he was gay.

Zuzu asked to Tolkien and CS Lewis end their friendship over Christianity.

No, I wanted to debunk that because obviously they were both Christian.

Tolkien was but her that when Lewis became a Christian, he became an Anglican instead

of becoming a Catholic like Tolkien was.

I think they did have a pretty severe folly now, but it wasn't over Christianity.

It was over...

I believe CS Lewis's wife.

I think Tolkien didn't like her very much, but I am not an expert on that one.

And I don't believe they were ever enemies or anything.

I think they just went through phases with three philosophies.

A group of deserves when his wife died.

It was a really tragic book.

I'm read it.

Anyways.

All right.

We got to get to that.

Here's what.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Real quick on that.

Just since we're on the topic, I always try to bring this up whenever I can.

So I can get in trouble and I'd love to core controversy on this.

So I don't think that Lord of the Rings is queer-coded.

I don't think it is.

However, I do think that there is one piece of children's media that is extremely queer-coded

and the director and even one of the main stars have admitted this.

It's a Disney movie and it's called Frozen.

Yes, that's right.

Frozen is absolutely queer-coded.

It is two females.

Oh, I know you're going to say, oh, they're sisters.

No, no, no.

I'm saying if you actually look at the story, it's about the sisterhood.

It is very anti-male.

Every man in it is like either the enemy or a liar or a dullard or someone who's stupid

and it's about, you know, we women bind together through the power of our relationship

against the men of the world.

And I believe there's also a gay character when they go to the sauna as well, the spend

or something.

That's just feminist though.

It's like feminist.

It's not necessarily queer-coded.

No, I'm telling you, it's totally queer-coded.

No, I'm telling you, it's totally queer-coded.

Wait, what happens with what about the dude who's like a nice salesman, isn't he?

Yeah, he ends up getting the younger sister.

Yeah, doesn't he?

He gets them, I'm telling you though, but it is, that's what I'm saying, it's coded.

I'm saying it's not overtly, but it is coded.

And Adina Manzell has come out and said this, who did the voice of the main character

and, gosh, I can't think of it, whatever, you know her name, the frozen chick.

And the director has said it as well.

So that's why, let it go is seen as a queer anthem in the LGBT community.

Let's be gay.

Just be gay.

No, so Fazio says, I mean, if frozen is gay, then Lord of the Rings is Elton John.

Elsa.

So yeah, Elsa.

No, Lord of the Rings is not queer-coded because there's no intent, but in frozen there

is.

Yeah, I can't aggressively weigh in on whether frozen is gay because unlike Jack, I do

not watch it at least three times a week.

You had that come out.

I think I've only seen it once.

Probably that all the way through.

Well, listen, why have you been hit today?

I was going to watch it once today, Josh.

Go look it up.

Go look it up.

The people who made it said it's queer-coded.

Yeah, but the people who make everything in Hollywood say it's queer-coded.

They say like everything.

That's how you keep getting jobs in Hollywood.

Yeah, they definitely get jobs, if you know what I mean.

That's called jobs here in the world.

PG-13.

It's a PG-13 program.

All right.

I really, I have to get, we have to get to this show, the story of the quadruple amputee

murderer.

It was one of those stories where everyone sees the headline and does a double tank.

It goes, excuse me.

And I shared this with my wife, and she was like, wait, what?

And I was like, there's video, and I was like, not of the murder.

But of this guy shooting a weapon, he can like cock the gun and point it and shoot it with

like, I guess he's got kind of, you know, like a little nut.

It's a headline that you just have to embrace.

This is the headline I saw in NBC quadruple amputee and cornhole pro accused of fatally

shooting man while driving.

It's like an essay.

There's so many things.

Yeah, there he is.

That's him.

That's him on his YouTube account.

He is blasted away with that gun and that man has no hands.

Look at, I would be terrified as if I was him of accidentally shooting off, wait, do

we have, do we have a view of him like he's shooting up to the tree?

Yeah, I know.

There's not much less.

Gosh, look at him.

This guy is cooler than I am.

I mean, like, period.

Like straight up, a little bit of respect for his zest for life as a quadruple amputee.

Apparently had some, some illness as a kid and they had to amputee all four limbs in

order to save his life.

And then he, I mean, we've got, we got clips on this guy.

So let's, let's start with the, yeah, I mean, I haven't seen that one.

So that's interesting.

Let's start with, I guess, sought 19.

Who is Dayton Weber?

Dayton Weber is a beast, he's strong, he's determined, to me, that's like beast mode, you

know.

He just got sick like any other normal kid, taken to the hospital and found out that he had

gotten to be a bacterial infection.

Grieved danger is the word they used all the time.

Dayton was diagnosed with a bacterial infection that led to sepsis.

The bacteria using his bloodstream as a tool to attack his organs.

They suggested that he be baptized and given his last rights.

That just didn't enter my thought, that I was going to lose them.

To prevent the infection from spreading, doctors amputated Dayton's extremities, both arms

and legs.

That was like really sad.

Yeah, but that guy didn't let it hold him back, he committed felonies that most fully

limped people can never dream of.

Uh, allegedly, I hate that because it makes me feel all the sympathy for me.

And then like the story of the murder is, is, uh, the murder is like crazy.

So he's just sitting in his Tesla, he's got two people in the back.

Dayton Weber was behind the wheel when he opened fire on Braddock Michael Wells during an

argument as they were traveling in a car in the town of Laplata, uh, and then Weber allegedly

pulled over and asked the vaccine passengers to help pull wells out of the car.

They refused and instead flagged down Laplata police.

There's nothing this man can't do.

How slow would do body out of the, how slow do his friends have to be to allow him to

get shot?

That's what I'm thinking.

That's my question.

If you know, like, and you kind of wonder about the lead up was the guy like, he's not

going to do.

Yeah.

He's like, he probably, like the passengers probably didn't know that he could pull it

off.

Or maybe he did.

I don't know.

It, Jack, you've got, save us.

I've went away to go here.

Weber competes.

At the end of the day, at the end of the day, you, you can say, you can certainly say that

you have to look out for a non-arm man.

Weber competes in the American Cornhole League, which called this case, quote, an extremely

serious matter.

That's the quote.

What can I say?

You just, you just, you just got to give him a hand.

Oscar Pistorius sort of walked so that this man could kind of run.

That's it.

Okay.

That's pretty good.

That's pretty good.

I did get it from a nice tweet.

I guess you could say there's a crime afoot.

Oh, yeah.

The studio.

You know what they say?

You know what they say?

He's got to stand on his own two legs.

Shit.

This is disgraceful.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

We, this has really gone off the rails.

It's gone.

I'm trying to think of a good alarm or leg pun.

It doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.

All right.

So wait, he could shoot a rifle, too.

Hold on.

Wait, what did you say?

Oh, he just, case doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Oh, there he, there you go.

Cut 24 is Dayton Weber shooting a rifle.

I didn't see this one.

Let's see that one.

24.

How's he doing that?

He's having that second shot a little better, don't you?

Yeah.

Probably have to hold it up.

Maybe hold that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, I just got to shoot it one time.

That gun is nasty.

Heck, yeah.

He's hard for sure.

No doubt.

I'm genuinely sad that this guy did murder someone because it really actually, it's, it's genuinely

inspiring to see those clips and you feel bad about how it all ended because I think

there's a lot of people out there who would say like, I would rather die than live that way.

And like, he, he did seem to have a pretty rich life other than the murdering people part.

Yeah.

And you kind of wonder like did, did the trauma of what he went through as a, as a child?

Did it like scar him?

Did it traumatize him in some way that made him do this?

I don't know.

The whole story really watching his parents talk about him and watch, like seeing him as a baby with the arms.

Like I cannot imagine being a parent and seeing that happen to my kid.

I just can't.

So it's a really tragic ending to it.

You know what they say?

You know what they say though?

People with disabilities can do anything.

In 2023, the American Cornhole League called Weber unstoppable.

And they said that he is a shining example of our slogan.

Anyone can play.

Anyone can win.

He was also able to, he taught himself to write race go carts and compete in Cornhole.

Weber says that Cornhole taught him to take challenges as they come each day.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute, Blake.

He should, he should take the stand himself in the trial because then the judge will say,

place your hand on the Bible.

Oh, wait.

It's a technicality.

They won't be able to.

I thought you were, I thought you were hitting him with that one too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, listen, it's a, it's a sad story.

I'm, I don't think I'm going to get over the picture of the kids.

When you have kids, like, everything changes.

I mean, sure, Jack, I'll appreciate this.

Like, you kids, you, like, it's, you know, watching gory movies, for example,

is way harder.

Watching anything in a movie that happened to a kid watching any of these stories.

I can't, I can't watch any movie.

If there's like a kid, I guess in the new, whatever the last Michael Myers movie is,

like when Jamie the Curtis came back, there's something that the kid dies in.

And it's like a babysitter, like, accidentally throws him off the stairs.

And he dies in like the first five minutes.

And I was just like, I can't, I couldn't even watch the rest of it after that.

Just couldn't do.

Yeah.

No, no.

So this whole story sucks.

I'm, but, but it did give some great fodder to the folks online.

The comments on this, like, we're, we're legitimately funny.

There's a laugh out loud.

A lot funny.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Wait, is Jack going to claim the quadruple amputees are gay also?

No.

No.

Jack didn't do anything.

I mean, he did.

He was literally obsessed with holes.

He was a professional.

Do we have the cornhole?

He professionally put 11 year olds.

11 year olds.

11 year olds.

Clip.

Was this clip 20?

That's a great book.

What's wrong with that?

It's a clip 20.

Fuzzy or whatever.

New period word.

Let's play.

Let's play him talking about playing cornhole.

We're here at my house.

This is where I practice my cornhole.

Cornhole has been a passion of mine since I was eight years old.

You know, throwing the backyard with my parents, friends, and stuff.

At first, it took me a little while to get it there to the board consistently.

I was able to compensate the grip on the bag by just grabbing the corner of it.

When we propel him myself forward and the whip of the bag, that's how I get it there.

That guy's better at cornhole than I am.

A lot better.

He's in the professional cornhole.

He's better at murdering people than you are too, which is...

Man.

What do you care about?

Blake had that we know of.

That we know of.

A man.

Gosh.

Why did this guy have to go kill somebody?

I think we should have had him on thought crime before he did that.

He's like actually such an inspiration, except...

Unfortunately.

All right.

Well, good.

Now we're all...

It's a great downer.

Really good job.

I like your disabilities.

Get in the way of your dreams.

So there you go.

All right.

Well, listen, Jack.

Have a great time at CPAC.

Keep the vibe up.

Keep enjoying it.

If I'm dropping it, seriously.

Yeah.

And...

Yeah.

Why don't you take us home?

Sign us off and take us home.

Ladies and gentlemen, as always, go out there and commit more thought crime.

The crime is death.

The crime is death.
