And we're talking about the weirdos.
0:07
Doesn't narrow it down that much. The
0:09
specific weirdo this time is is Igor
0:11
Girkin, actually. But welcome. Welcome
0:14
one. Welcome all.
0:17
Plus, we'll take a look at all the other
0:20
crazy [ __ ] that's been happening, you
0:23
know?
0:37
So, how are you guys? Where you guys
0:38
tuning in from?
0:57
England. Nice.
1:19
Whoa. Okay, we got Australia,
1:22
Greater Chicagoland, the People's
1:25
Republic of New Jersey.
1:27
Truly Ontario, Canada. Also, two people
1:31
from Jersey,
1:33
East Tennessee. Nice. The LA, the
1:36
People's Republic of Los Angeles,
1:39
the armpit of America, Louisiana.
1:44
Oz is Oz. Is Oz in Australia?
1:50
Alberta, Corvalis, Oregon. Hell yeah.
1:54
The Canary Islands. Wow. Okay, this is
1:56
crazy.
1:58
I really should get try to get like
1:59
meaningful statistics of of everyone
2:02
like the ages and locations of people
2:04
who tune in to the live streams because
2:06
it's so interesting.
2:12
The Australian outback. Yeah, I feel
2:14
like a lot of far-flung people are out
2:16
here tuning in, which is cool. which is
2:18
pretty cool.
2:20
Central Illinois.
2:22
Okay, so near Chicago,
2:27
Houston, SoCal. See, I would expect like
2:30
major American metro areas, but I'm
2:33
always surprised when it's a bunch of
2:35
other stuff.
2:37
Uh, doesn't YouTube show those
2:38
statistics? No, cuz I think in part I I
2:41
I'd be curious. I'll actually try to dig
2:43
into it and see if it'll break it down
2:46
by video. I think it doesn't because,
2:49
you know, if I have 200 chatters,
2:52
I I can't really use it to pull out like
2:54
individual information. But if I was a a
2:57
smaller creator and let's say I had
2:59
three people in chat, I could actually
3:01
use that data to like identify
3:03
individuals and so they probably don't
3:05
want me to do that.
3:08
It could be like Sherwood Forest, UK. I
3:10
don't even know if that's a real place.
3:11
That sounds like something you just made
3:15
up.
3:16
Uh, nope. Just kidding. It's real. In
3:19
Nottinghamshshire, England, the famous
3:22
legendary hideout of Robin Hood.
3:30
Central Texas, White Taha, New Zealand.
3:33
Sick. So, yeah, we're going to let
3:35
people kind of filter in and then we're
3:36
going to we're going to talk we're going
3:38
to talk about
3:40
what's going on.
3:43
Interesting.
3:50
77. Wow. I That is surprisingly old for
3:56
a YouTube viewer.
4:01
On Twitch, you can use an app that tells
4:03
you where your chatters are in real
4:05
time. Yeah, I maybe that's how all those
4:08
uh streamers got busted for using stream
4:09
bots.
4:25
Yeah. Again, Chicago third most populous
4:27
city, right? Um
4:31
57. Oh, interesting.
4:33
40 young 65.
4:37
Oh, yeah. Some of you guys are going
4:38
through the heat wave, dude.
4:43
I wonder.
4:46
Oh, 57. Anyone 67?
4:52
Okay, let's see.
4:56
All right, ahead of the July 4th
4:59
weekend, they're supposed to call for a
5:01
huge heat wave. Let's see.
5:09
Okay. Current US temperatures.
5:15
Okay. Uh,
5:20
let's see. I actually want one that's
5:21
like a couple of days.
5:24
Okay. Let's see. Let's see what they're
5:26
talking about for this heat wave. Let's
5:27
see what's in in in luck. Okay.
5:29
Interesting. A lot of people in their
5:30
40s and one person 24. Hell yeah. Okay.
5:35
So map showing heat alerts. Extreme heat
5:38
warnings in effect for central United
5:41

5:48
Chicago guys.
5:50
Yeah, the heat wave in central Texas is
5:53
just
5:54
uh May to September.
5:59
Southern cities like Dallas, Little
6:00
Rock, and Memphis will see dangerously
6:02
high temperatures.
6:04
Whoa. Okay. In the core of the south
6:06
here, they're expecting heat indices up
6:09
to 115.
6:11
Jesus. Making it feel like Wow. 115.
6:15
Okay.
6:18
Above normal temperatures. That's not
6:20
that helpful.
6:23
Yep. Bunch of fire alerts.
6:26
Yeah. Interesting. Looks like some kind
6:28
of big hot circle. Okay. Here's the East
6:32
Coast weather forecast. Whoa. Little
6:35
Rock 108 108 105. Damn. 90 94 and 88 in
6:40
Minneapolis.
6:41
New Orleans. Somebody here from New
6:44
Orleans.
6:47
104 105 104. Gowza, dudes.
6:52
And that's the heat index. Okay, those
6:54
are heat indices.
6:56
Yikes. Okay, let's see. We We saw some
6:58
people from Houston. Let's let's let's
7:01
take a look here. What's Houston going
7:02
to be suffering through? 94 90 94 95 94
7:07
91 89. Uh, okay. Let's look at
7:12
I think we had somebody from Chicago.
7:15
Okay, that those that temperature is
7:17
actually not terrible. Chicago is going
7:19
to be hotter than Houston. 94 94 and
7:21
then 84 82 79 80 82.
7:25
Yeah, we endured worse in Iraq, dude.
7:27
You and me both, brother. Well, I wasn't
7:29
in Iraq. I was in Afghanistan. But yeah,
7:34
dude. Chicago, you guys are cooked.
7:39
Literally,
7:40
Nins going to be 88 89 92 92 90 87 88.
7:47
Interesting. I guess it's just the
7:48
humidity, like the heat and humidity
7:50
just like mashing into each other.
7:55
Yeah, it's got to be a humidity thing.
7:57
That's got to be what it's what it's
7:58
doing because people are saying he index
8:01
values above 110, you know.
8:11
Let's see.
8:13
What are we looking at? Okay. Austin,
8:15
Texas, the capital. 95 94 95 98 98 98 94
8:20
94. Yikes. Excessive heat warning.
8:23
Buckle up, nerds.
8:26
Humidity 53%.
8:30
56. Humidity in the 50s though. Okay. So
8:33
maybe that's better.
8:38
Okay. Well, that's crazy.
8:44
Well, we're we're in luck. We're in
8:45
luck. President Trump says climate
8:46
change is a hoax. So, we're we're all
8:48
set.
8:51
All right. So, you want to talk about
8:53
the story from old Igor Girkin? That's
8:56
who it is. Okay, so this is the crazy
8:59
part, right?
9:01
Igor Girkin says, "A former officer with
9:03
the Russian army." That's not quite. who
9:06
played a key role in Russia's annexation
9:08
of Crimea. True. And was later tried and
9:10
imprisoned for his public views against
9:12
Vladimir Putin's ongoing strategy in
9:13
Ukraine, said in a telegram post from
9:16
his prison cell that Ukraine's
9:19
large-scale drone campaign against
9:20
energy, industry, logistics, and
9:21
military targets in Crimea is quote
9:23
setting the stage for Ukrainian
9:24
amphibious and ground operations aimed
9:26
at recapturing Crimea.
9:31
Now, I have a couple of complaints about
9:33
this one. Igor Girkin is uh he's an
9:39
intelligence officer. Okay. He also was
9:42
responsible for providing the air
9:45
defense systems that shot down uh
9:47
Malaysian Air Flight
9:50
300. I can't remember.
9:52
It was shot down over Ukraine 2024.
9:55
Uh even though again the investigation
10:00
found that the
10:03
uh
10:05
separatists under Gerkin's command knew
10:07
they were probably shooting at a
10:09
civilian jetliner and they just didn't
10:10
give a [ __ ] right? And so again in
10:14
classic Vladimir Putin fashion,
10:18
Eigor Girkin spent decades in the
10:20
service of the FSB. But then when he
10:25
dared to publicly criticize Putin's
10:27
strategy in Ukraine though that's
10:29
officially that's kind of the surface
10:30
level thing. The deeper problem was that
10:32
Igor Girkin was beginning to use his
10:34
telegram following to organize a
10:37
political party. I think it was like a
10:38
fraternal group. You know think of it
10:40
like um
10:42
it was a little bit like uh Combat
10:44
Veterans of America or something um
10:49
or the Combat Veterans Motor. Well, I'm
10:51
using comet veteran motorcycle
10:52
association.
10:53
Um,
10:56
but
10:58
it is a
11:01
association of veterans who ride
11:02
motorcycles. But imagine if without this
11:04
sort of like a
11:06
um
11:09
it was an organization of like true
11:11
Russian patriots, right? Uh
11:14
not quite veterans, but I can just look
11:16
it up. Why am I speculating?
11:26
Okay,
11:32
here we go. In 2023, he called it a club
11:34
of angry patriots, a hardline pro-war
11:37
nationalist movement advocating for the
11:39
complete destruction of Ukraine and
11:40
heavily criticizing Vladimir Putin's
11:42
military brass for perceived
11:43
incompetence and half measures. In 2024,
11:46
he nominated himself as an independent
11:47
candidate for the Russian presidential
11:48
election to challenge Putin. He was
11:50
officially he was prevented from
11:51
officially running due to his trial,
11:53
pre-trial detention, and subsequent
11:55
imprisonment.
11:57
He was incited of convicted of exciting
11:59
extremism. Prior to his political
12:01
activities, he was an FSB officer and
12:03
convicted in abstentia of a Dutch court
12:06
for his role in downing Malaysia
12:07
Airlines Flight 17.
12:14
of angry patriots is oh present tense
12:16
hardline national socialist movement
12:18
Jesus founded April 1st 2023 by Girkin
12:22
Pavo Gerberov
12:24
um
12:26
and Maxim Kalashnikov
12:28
any relation oh no that's his pen name
12:31
huh the club criticized the current
12:33
Russian government for perceived half
12:34
measures and the inability to win the
12:36
war against Ukraine
12:39
okay Girkin had previously created
12:42
movements that criticized the Kla
12:44
Kremlin and the li liberal opposition at
12:46
the same time such as the January 25th
12:48
committee right committee was renamed
12:50
the all-Russian national movement under
12:52
Girkin term angry patriots has already
12:54
become a staple in Russian political
12:55
circles refers to people who actively
12:57
support the Russian invasion of Ukraine
12:58
but are dissatisfied with its course so
13:00
slow progress losses exchanges of AOV
13:04
battalion PS and response to Russ
13:06
shellings of Russian cities etc.
13:11
Two weeks before founding the club, he
13:13
explicitly posted on Telegram, which he
13:15
listed the weak points in his opinion of
13:17
the conduct of the quote special
13:18
military operation. On April 1st, the
13:20
club was announced. In addition to
13:22
Girkin, the club includes, oh,
13:24
interesting, a bunch of other of these
13:25
members, bunch of other mil bloggers,
13:29
Mikail members of the club call it a
13:31
community of patriotic people who have
13:32
been serving Russia for many years, not
13:34
in word, but in deed. and quote, "It is
13:37
necessary to create an association of
13:38
those people who are not for money, who
13:39
are really for the motherland, for our
13:41
people, for our country." H
13:46
interesting. It's reportedly facing
13:49
resentment from the DPR and Dennis
13:51
Pushan.
13:55
Uh Gerkin claimed Pusheen ordered DNR
13:57
officials to spread rumors about the
13:59
Club of Angry Patriots, stating the
14:00
movement was plotting a coup. The group
14:02
also accuses Putin of trying to
14:03
discredit them, which is probably true.
14:06
Girkin was arrested in charge of
14:08
extremism, sentenced to four years
14:09
imprisonment in penal colony
14:12
by Moscow city court.
14:16
Uh club members said Russia would
14:18
inevitably face defeat in Ukraine and
14:19
could endure a pro-western coup or civil
14:21
war unless Moscow radically improves the
14:23
situation on the front lines.
14:25
Participants argued Russian officials
14:26
are unable to improve the military
14:28
operations and their impact on Russian
14:29
society because most Kremlin officials
14:31
belong to an anti-war faction. The club
14:34
claimed it was seeking to help the
14:35
Russian authorities complete a special
14:36
military operation in a timely manner,
14:38
arguing that protracted war in Ukraine
14:40
could spur anti-war officials to revolt.
14:43
Sounds like kind of sounds like the
14:45
strategy. The group also said it was
14:46
trying to create a defense network to
14:47
counter a coup in Russia in such a case.
14:49
Compared to the January 25th committee,
14:51
the emphasis assisted shifted from
14:53
opposition to a fictional liberal Moscow
14:56
Maidon to a need to quote prevent
14:58
Russia's defeat in its proxy war with
15:00
the entire NATO block in Ukraine.
15:02
[ __ ] ridiculous. The ISW expressed
15:05
the opinion that the creation of the
15:06
clubs connect with a desire to
15:07
strengthen a pro-war faction in the
15:08
Kremlin. But what's interesting is I
15:11
don't know if they're still around.
15:13
I mean, they have a VK, which is like a
15:16
Facebook, but I wonder how active they
15:19
are.
15:21
Let's see if I can even access this.
15:22
Well, clearly it's VK is reloading. Oh
15:24
my gosh, they have like none.
15:27
5,000 followers, guys.
15:30
the most recent January from two years
15:33
ago. So they are dead. They are [ __ ]
15:38
dead. Dead dead.
15:41
Which is wild. Okay, because I want to
15:43
point out that
15:46
the number of people that watch this
15:49
live stream in total are more than the
15:52
primary followers for the Club of Angry
15:55
Patriots.
15:58
Like that's what I think is [ __ ]
16:00
wild. I should we should we should form
16:01
our own club that's also angry. Okay.
16:08
Want to point out that also getting its
16:10
own Wikipedia page. Our NAPO
16:13
internet meme and social media movement
16:15
dedicated counting Russian propaganda
16:16
and disinformation has been categorized
16:19
the form of information warfare
16:22
and Ukraine memes for NATO teams.
16:30
group rose to mainstream prominence
16:32
after interaction on Twitter between
16:33
Russian diplomat and a number of NATO
16:35
accounts with cartoon dogs as avatars.
16:37
Yolanov claimed the Russian invasion was
16:38
justified by a claim Ukraine shelling
16:40
civilians in Donbus in 2014
16:43
which is fascinating you what a that's
16:46
interesting alone because
16:49
it claims that the impetus actually had
16:52
nothing to do with NATO aggression or
16:53
biolabs or any of it.
16:55
just shelling Russians.
17:08
GG. The angry I told you right Paul.
17:13
The club. The club of people who are mad
17:15
that they are right all the time.
17:24
The People's Patriotic Front. That's not
17:25
a great that.
17:28
Yeah, that's that's not a great angry
17:30
NAFO bros. Club of angry nerds. Angry
17:34
fuel purchasers.
17:40
The Club of Angry Patriots transitioned
17:42
through all the stages of grief and is
17:43
now the club of acceptance patriots.
17:46
US A funded biolabs. Yeah, exactly.
17:56
According to Wall Street Journal,
17:57
Group's Pro Ukrainian fundraising and
17:58
merch sales have totaled over 1 million,
18:00
but no official tally is kept.
18:03
Uh,
18:08
task of purpose described a 2 S7 pion
18:11
self-propelled artillery with the
18:13
inscription super bunker 9000 sticker of
18:16
baseball bat on the barrel with the
18:17
inscription of NAFO article 99.
18:25
Another popular slogan, what air defense
18:27
doing? What is air defense doing? Not
18:30
much. Not much.
18:43
Interesting
18:46
recognition.
18:48
Yeah. Okay. Well, at least NAFO also has
18:50
a
18:51
but once again we this audience have
18:55
raised more than a million dollars. For
18:57
sure. For sure we have.
19:01
The organization was presented with the
19:02
Star of Lithuanian diplomacy. That's
19:04
sick.
19:07
For promoting Lithuania abroad. Oh,
19:08
Camille Desutski on behalf of the
19:10
organization was presented Star of
19:11
Lithuanian diplomacy by the Lithuanian
19:13
Minister of Foreign Affairs.
19:21
Interesting.
19:23
Highranking military officials in
19:24
Ukraine country have changed their
19:25
Twitter avatars to a fella. Minister of
19:28
Defense temporary changes to Twitter
19:29
avatar to a fellow commissioned in his
19:30
honor. Zinsky and United 24 recognized
19:34
the group in 20 March of 23. March 23, a
19:37
Lithuanian president publicly promoted
19:39
NAFO's first summit in Villness,
19:40
encouraged people to come and attend.
19:48
Hell yeah.
19:52
Okay. Well, it's at least neutral. It's
19:54
at least neutral. People
19:58
like, "Is there a mobilization announced
20:00
in Russia?" Lolol.
20:20
The Nothing Ever Happens Club is fuming.
20:22
Okay. Am I missing something happening?
20:24
Am I missing happening?
20:29
Uh I see that the a federal judge has
20:33
ruled against the Pentagon in its
20:34
dispute over New York Times media
20:35
access. The court said that the part
20:38
where the
20:41
uh US shall make no uh law restricting
20:45
freedom of the press
20:47
seems pretty clear actually. The first
20:50
amendment was very clear on that that
20:51
you can't force uh the press to have a
20:54
military escort. That's called
20:55
restricting the freedom of the press.
21:11
The court has spoken. Let's see. This
21:13
says that the court has spoken at
21:16
several points about the critical
21:17
importance of protecting the freedoms of
21:18
the first amendment. The evergreen
21:19
message bears repeating. Those who
21:20
drafted the first amendment believe that
21:22
the nation's security requires a free
21:23
press and an informed people that such
21:25
security is endangered by government
21:27
suppression of political speech. This
21:28
principles reserved our nation's
21:30
security for 250 years.
21:37
Preliminary injunctive relief weigh in
21:38
their favor. The court will grant the
21:40
plaintiff's motion for injunction.
21:46
And the comments are of course exactly
21:48
as full-blown regarded as you would
21:50
think. Someone saying, "The country is
21:52
toast, dude. Zero common sense. Just
21:53
idiotic judges making idiotic decisions.
21:56
Needing an estor in the country's
21:57
military headquarters violates First
21:58
Amendment. How no serious country would
22:00
see this as an issue?" Um, one this is
22:04
stupid because the Pentagon is one you
22:10
already get badged like
22:21
uh let's see if we can find just like a
22:23
general Wikipedia entry.
22:28
People are like there's they're just
22:30
allowed to wander the Pentagon as a
22:32
vetted member of the press. Yes.
22:37
And yeah, except for areas that are
22:39
designated as being storing as storing
22:42
classified information.
22:45
You go through, you pass security, you
22:47
say I'm a member of the press, and then
22:48
they let you in.
22:56
Pete Hexth said that actually guys you
22:59
could turn in your press credentials
23:01
unless you have a military escort who
23:03
can observe everything that anyone tells
23:05
you so that they cannot talk to the
23:06
press for any reason.
23:09
GG. Have you guys seen the huge rally in
23:11
Trump's birthday? You mean the American
23:13
State Fair? Huh?
23:23
Huh?
23:27
Let's see.
23:29
Downtown's American Great American State
23:30
Fair was packed with happy people, but
23:32
the USA Today visit to the National Mall
23:34
found light crowds, short line, and
23:35
plenty of open space. Fair has drawn
23:38
sparse crowds on its first days, though
23:39
it remains unclear what the July 4th
23:41
holiday weekend will bring. Doug Burnham
23:43
said the Trump administration was
23:44
planning quote the greatest and biggest
23:46
celebration of fireworks ever. But on
23:48
the ground, activity was minimal. Lines
23:50
to enter the fair and browse state
23:51
booths and buy food were minimal. The
23:53
longest wait was for a ferris wheel, and
23:55
even that appeared typical for a
23:56
standard attraction.
23:58
Yeah, I've yet to see a small groups
24:00
gathered for the events, including a
24:02
woodsawing contest near the rodeo and
24:03
acrobat performance, but the crowd was
24:05
modest. Uh, I am convinced.
24:08
Social media videos suggest turnout's
24:09
been uneven. In one clip shared by TMZ,
24:11
actor Dean Kane says, "There's tons of
24:13
people. It's a huge space. It's going to
24:14
get more crowded as the week goes on.
24:16
The camera showed a largely empty space.
24:20
Uh, USA requested attendance figures
24:22
from Freedom 250, a group tied to Task
24:24
Force 250, a public private partnership
24:26
created by the White House to coordinate
24:28
the celebration. Interesting. There's no
24:30
way. So, public private in this instance
24:33
probably is code for taxpayer money
24:34
transferred to the people putting this
24:36
on. And then it looks like whoever put
24:37
it on did just an absolutely threadbear
24:40
job. Uh,
24:43
portions of the site are fenced off.
24:45
Attendees are required to register. The
24:47
walk-ups are permitted.
24:51
So, it doesn't look great. Black
24:53
Tornado, thanks for the attention.
24:54
Honestly, Paul, I didn't think Ukraine
24:55
had any chance of getting back Crimea,
24:56
but I changed my opinion now. It seems
24:57
like a very effective strategy. So,
24:59
here's the problem. Here's the
25:00
fundamental problem is that
25:03
is that if Ukraine were to invade
25:06
Crimea, Russia could run the same
25:09
strategy in reverse.
25:13
And so the things that make Crimea
25:15
vulnerable to Russian aggression or to
25:18
Ukrainian drone strikes are going to
25:20
make them vulnerable to Russian drone
25:22
strikes. Um the same resupply issues
25:25
will occur, right?
25:28
Um Ukraine did not take several beach
25:31
well Ukraine did not take several beach
25:33
heads in Hersan. What they did is forced
25:36
the Russians to withdraw from the Kyburn
25:39
spit. And the Kyburn spit is just this
25:42
strip of land here, which is not
25:44
nothing, right? Russians here can launch
25:46
drone strikes potentially as close as
25:48
Odessa um and control this very valuable
25:52
waterway here. Um
25:55
but this is not going to facilitate uh
25:58
any kind of improvement in the situation
25:59
in Heran. Not meaningfully. Um it
26:02
certainly won't open up anything in
26:04
Crimea. And again, the problem will be
26:07
that the Ukrainians, if they could get
26:08
into Crimea, right, which is would would
26:11
require an offensive that is deeper and
26:13
broader than
26:16
they have done at any time since 2023,
26:19
then they're going to have to cross all
26:20
their troops over these two narrow
26:22
bridges, which Russia cannot currently
26:24
get fuel trucks or military convoys
26:29
across these two bridges. So, you can
26:31
imagine the reverse. the Ukrainian army
26:32
trying to march an army across here
26:34
probably not feasible. Um then they
26:38
would have to get into Crimea and then
26:39
keep those troops resupplied as the
26:41
Russians would now know, hey, this is
26:44
the only two ways into and off of the
26:46
the peninsula. Let's just bomb the [ __ ]
26:48
out of them. Yeah, exactly. So, Black
26:51
Tornado get it. Do you think they could
26:53
turn Crimea into a no-go zone since
26:54
neither side would be able to control
26:56
it? That is exactly the strategy right
26:58
now. Crimea is a massive logistics hub
27:00
for basically the entire southern
27:03
occupation effort and depriving
27:07
the Russians of that
27:09
is going to be extremely valuable and
27:12
it's also going to it would then in turn
27:16
force the entire occupation government's
27:20
uh
27:22
supply resupply efforts to channel
27:24
themselves through Marupople driving
27:27
basically within 60 km of the front line
27:31
for I mean miles and miles and miles. I
27:34
mean imagine if you are a Russian in
27:36
Heran and you don't have Crimea you to
27:39
get resupplied you have to stretch your
27:42
supplies
27:43
from basically Rasta Vandon
27:46
hundreds and hundreds of kilometers
27:48
through occupied Ukraine to get you
27:50
resupplied.
27:52
It is so hard, right? Like you have to
27:54
think one of the things that that Russia
27:56
has going for it here. This is pretty
27:58
vulnerable actually. Yeah, they could be
28:00
resupplied through Berian, but you can
28:02
see the ports in Berian are routinely
28:03
bombed. Uh
28:06
everywhere else, right, is kind of
28:08
close. But this this was the reason that
28:11
the strategy
28:14
uh in the 2023 spring counter offensive
28:17
focused on this region is because it's
28:19
the hardest to resupply and the easiest
28:20
to cut off. Obviously, it was a failure,
28:23
but
28:25
yeah, the just depriving these troops of
28:28
this
28:31
of this like key resupply route is going
28:35
to like force you're going to make all
28:36
these guys in just way worse shape,
28:38
especially next to Hersan. There's not
28:40
going to be an amphibious landing, but
28:42
the goal may be to start forcing the
28:45
Russians in Zapesia. This is where they
28:47
are probably at their weakest. force
28:49
them to just kind of starve them out.
28:50
Honestly, that's the strategy. It's less
28:53
even about pushing them and more about
28:54
just starving them.
29:20
Yeah, I mean the the the retaking of
29:22
Crimea would either be the Russian
29:24
forces withdrawing from it because it no
29:26
longer serves them geopolitically,
29:28
becomes a geopolitical liability. That's
29:30
probably the best bet. Or the Crimeans
29:33
just like get sick of it and don't want
29:35
anything to do with it.
29:55
Oh my god. Okay, this is pretty funny.
29:56
This is Trump tweeting about his own
29:57
state fair. He says, "Do you think
29:58
people appreciate what a fantastic job
30:00
we did in building and operating the
30:01
Great American State Fair at the
30:02
National Mall packed with happy people
30:04
and everybody loving it? Ask yourself
30:06
this simply simple question. Do you
30:07
think that Obama or Sleepy Joe could
30:09
have done it? The answer is no. Uh,
30:12
okay. I want to point out that this is
30:15
this looks like a [ __ ]
30:18
absolute
30:20
absolute like a [ __ ] show. I don't know
30:23
if if Okay.
30:31
Okay. Well, that's fine. Okay. Here's
30:33
the booth for Massachusetts, guys.
30:36
Wow,
30:38
look at this. Uh, a 8 and a half by 11
30:41
printout. Massachusetts, the Bay State.
30:47
Here's a power outage hitting the food
30:49
pavilion, melting ice cream and leading
30:51
to food safety concerns. Which, FYI,
30:53
guys, one, none of these places appear
30:55
even remotely prepared to sell food. Uh,
31:00
these look like water, soda, sports
31:04
drink, lemonade, iced coffee, coffee,
31:06
muffin, large cookie, ice cream. This is
31:10
This looks like AI generated. This This
31:14
looks like the menu. Okay, guys. Ex one.
31:17
This looks like the menu of my
31:19
children's play kitchen. They have a
31:21
play restaurant. Okay, this isn't a real
31:24
thing. Express Hibbachi. None of these
31:25
things are hibachi, by the way.
31:27
Pretzels, nachos, chips, hot dog with
31:29
chips, chicken Caesar wrap with chips,
31:32
chicken sandwich with chips. That's not
31:33
hibachi. Why do they call it hibachi?
31:36
This is like, this only makes sense if
31:38
you've literally never been to a state
31:40
fair, which 100%
31:43
is that the people have organized this
31:46
have never been to a state fair.
31:51
Yeah. like this is only a state fair if
31:53
you have if you've never been so poor
31:56
that this is your idea of a good time
31:57
which actually kind of breaks my heart.
32:00
Uh
32:02
it actually like
32:09
cuz it's what on the National Mall.
32:11
Okay, here we go. Here's live look at
32:14
the Great American State Fair. Oh, it's
32:16
a parody. Damn, they always get me with
32:18
these [ __ ] parodies, man.
32:26
O, look at this view from the Great
32:28
American State Fair. Ferris wheel.
32:30
Jesus. Taking it in the first night at
32:32
9:50 p.m.
32:35
Oh, okay. Well, that's that's cool.
32:37
That's like a world the World Cup
32:38
experience. That's kind of sick.
32:40
Watching the World Cup.
32:44
I don't know. That's kind of dope. You
32:46
put up some refreshments in a portion
32:48
and uh you watch you watch the World
32:50
Cup. You have a world cup union party
32:51
now the actual great state fair.
32:55
I mean it doesn't look like people are
32:56
doing [ __ ] all but yeah put on the world
32:58
cup in the [ __ ] national mall and and
33:01
get some food trucks. Permit some food
33:03
trucks dude and put up some portag
33:04
johns. It's [ __ ] easy.
33:24
just feel bad
33:28
that day and we're bringing it all
33:29
around America to make sure
33:31
>> live
33:33
Great American State Fair rally. Now, as
33:35
you can see, obviously obviously it has
33:37
nothing to do with politics. There's
33:38
just there's just some there's just
33:40
going to be uh political attendees uh
33:44
giving speeches. Wow. Okay. Wait, let's
33:47
see if they pan it out. There's
33:49
uh another person giving a speech. Oh my
33:52
god, Jaco Willink.
33:55
Oh my god.
33:57
Also, by the way, you know who gets more
33:58
views than Jaco? We do. We get more
34:00
views than [ __ ] Jaco. And I see and
34:03
Jaco's [ __ ] branded stuff sells in
34:05
like
34:07
sells all over the place. Okay, let's
34:09
see. But they won't. Interesting.
34:11
Interesting. Fox Baltimore doesn't want
34:13
to show the crowd.
34:17
Huh? It's a right-wing campaign rally.
34:20
Absolutely no one there. Where? Why are
34:23
they not being shown? Oh, cuz it's a
34:24
rye. It's a lie.
34:28
Exquisite B soup.
34:33
It's been about two years since the
34:34
cursed concursion. Was that
34:35
strategically sensible or should Ukraine
34:37
have stayed up the resources, manpower?
34:38
It absolut No, it it it was not
34:41
strategically sensible. Um, it it really
34:46
assumed
34:49
um,
34:51
no, it was it was a it was a weird
34:54
gambit and it wasted a lot of lives.
35:02
No, it didn't. It didn't really achieve
35:04
anything. I mean, the most thing it
35:06
could have achieved in a different
35:08
universe
35:10
um
35:11
would have been the international
35:13
community seeing North Korea deploy
35:15
their troops to fight in that war and
35:19
the international community could have
35:20
said this is very bad and we need to
35:24
step up because once again Russia loves
35:28
to be like it's us versus all of NATO.
35:32
It's us versus an international alliance
35:34
just bullying poor Russia. And it's like
35:37
guys, the only other nation who have
35:39
committed combat troops to this war has
35:41
been North Korea in favor of Russia.
35:51
Uh I think the curs was always meant to
35:53
be a bargaining chip.
35:56
I think they were probably trying to get
35:58
to um the power plant, but they never
36:00
quite did.
36:08
Nah, the Kursk was was kind of cooked
36:10
before um
36:13
Kursk I think was was was pretty cooked
36:15
before Trump got elected. Ace Cam, it's
36:17
going to reach a point where Trump will
36:18
simply give up on being president. When
36:20
Dem take the house back, he'll bail out
36:21
when he can. That wouldn't shock me
36:23
actually. It would not shock me at all.
36:33
US C. Okay. Uh,
36:39
let's see. This talks about it.
36:42
Uh, I mean, the Atlantic [ __ ] hates
36:44
Trunk.
36:47
Uh,
36:52
I actually was reading there was a post
36:54
of someone who
36:57
um in some states declined the invite
37:00
and had other organizations step in on
37:01
their behalf.
37:10
Um there was another a poster who said
37:12
actually that there was a plan to do in
37:15
this in the um a basically a version of
37:20
the 250th state fair. They called it a
37:22
festival of festivals. And so their idea
37:24
was to say, listen, we're going to take
37:25
all these great American festivals that
37:27
are super iconic and we're going to do
37:30
mini real actual versions of them in the
37:33
National Mall. So, there's going to be a
37:35
Grand Old Opry. There's going to be a um
37:39
they said like a like a mini Burning
37:40
Man. There's going to be a like all
37:44
these things so that people can come in
37:46
and get to experience these really cool
37:48
American cultural events to celebrate
37:50
the 250 years. I'm like, that would have
37:52
been so cool. And they said that because
37:54
it was the Smithsonian, there was all
37:55
these big artists that were like, hey,
37:57
it's not going to be political. They
37:58
said they had millions and millions of
38:00
month of dollars and that those that it
38:02
got cancelled, replaced with this and
38:03
those millions of dollars were diverted
38:05
to other purposes, which is almost
38:07
certainly, you know, no bid contracts to
38:10
put these things on, you know.
38:26
I mean, some of these things are kind of
38:27
jokes. This is the Department of Defense
38:30
Pavilion. Jesus.
38:33
Uh, Hillsdale College.
38:38
The Hillsdale College Pavilion. I've
38:40
never heard of it.
38:50
Okay. Well, this is this is stupid. I
38:52
just Maybe on YouTube there's a walk
38:53
through. I really want to find like a
38:55
like a great American State the fair
38:57
walkth through.
39:02
Just show me like a like a just strap on
39:04
a GoPro.
39:06
That's all I want.
39:18
Okay. Here's somebody called Dan's Cool
39:19
Videos that is doing a five minute Great
39:22
American State Fair walkthrough. All
39:23
right, that's pretty sick.
39:27
So, there's somebody else. Okay, a
39:29
little bit of editing. Opening day.
39:32
No shade. I want to point out that if
39:35
you really thought about things, having
39:37
absolutely no [ __ ] shade in the
39:40
middle of DC summer for your event is
39:44
right away says you've never been to an
39:45
actual state fair. Because if you had,
39:48
you would know that you have to give
39:49
people shade, man. You can't cook them.
39:53
Okay. Also, you're like, "Oh, oh, but
39:56
people, oh, they go to keep the grass
39:59
safe. My brother in Christ, there's
40:00
gonna be people walking all over the
40:02
[ __ ] grass." Okay. There's one ride.
40:05
All right. A state fair with one ride
40:07
sucks.
40:10
I'm sorry. You need like more than one
40:12
ride. Also, here's the Florida booth.
40:16
All right. All right. I'm ready to be
40:17
wowed. I'm ready to see the Great
40:20
American State Fair for Florida.
40:26
Oh, Jesus Christ.
40:30
It's
40:32
That's it. Florida state symbols.
40:37
Orange juice is the state beverage.
40:41
Oh my god. Wait, they don't even have
40:43
like a
40:44
like they didn't even put up a screen.
40:46
This is just a poster board. This is
40:48
like something that you would do for a
40:49
fourth grade project. America's first
40:51
chapter. Famous Florida men and women.
40:55
No famous Florida trans people here.
40:57
Okay, dude.
41:00
Well, at least he's repping Florida. I
41:03
guess that's cool. Uh they got the old
41:06
That's cool. They kind of got the brick
41:08
like it's the the one of the old forts.
41:10
That's kind of sick.
41:17
Jesus, dude. Uh you know, you know what?
41:20
Ace. Ace. I would resign after this,
41:22
man. This is like embarrassing. I'm
41:24
embarrassed. Oh, wait. Wait. Come on.
41:26
Okay. Okay. See, you're trying. This is
41:28
cool. Look at this. They're kind of
41:29
trying. They're like, make you feel like
41:30
you're in the Everglades. Okay. Well,
41:32
now this is stupid. Why is the manatees
41:34
swimming through here? You It was almost
41:37
cool, guys. You were so close to making
41:39
something cool. Yeah, that would be
41:40
cool. Like the Everglades make you feel
41:41
like you're watching the manatees.
41:43
That's sick. Okay, but this doesn't give
41:45
you a vibe. That's a That's a 360 view.
41:49
Okay, this is like closer. This is
41:50
closer to cool. They're trying. Ronda
41:53
Santis spent a little money here.
41:57
Again, this seems also like kind of a
41:59
fire hazard, but but that's cool. That's
42:02
cool. I I don't know. Agriculture,
42:06
a legacy of production. Uh,
42:09
okay. Florida seafood.
42:13
Can you eat it? Stop and smell the
42:14
oranges. All right, that's kind of cool.
42:20
Um, wow.
42:23
The state agriculture
42:26
live more Florida days.
42:30
Is it free swag? Is there at least
42:32
giving out some free swag or like an
42:33
orange? That'd be cool. That's kind of
42:36
sick.
42:39
Okay. You only went to the state fair
42:41
booth. Okay, that's cool. Yeah. Some
42:43
free swag. All right. All right. That'd
42:45
be Yeah. State Florida State Parks. [ __ ]
42:47
yeah.
42:49
Okay, I get But man, you're trying. God
42:51
bless them. They're trying. Look at how
42:53
hot everybody is. Like, you didn't think
42:56
to put up some [ __ ] shade? Jesus
42:59
Christ, dude. Yeah. Shout out to the
43:01
person who like 29 palms is better than
43:03
this. Yeah.
43:06
Oh, they're fake table fruit. Uh uh,
43:08
that's even more pathetic. Yeah. Where's
43:10
alligator Alcatraz, bro? You should have
43:11
been like, you can feel like a migrant
43:13
inside alligator Alcatraz. Which by the
43:15
way, by the way, guys, for all the
43:17
[ __ ] hype,
43:21
for all their [ __ ]
43:24
turns out,
43:26
turns out that lo and behold the best
43:29
thing defend the biggest defender of
43:32
[ __ ] human rights
43:35
in this administration is this
43:38
administration because they're idiots.
43:40
because they close it because they put
43:42
in a [ __ ] flood zone because they're
43:44
idiots.
43:45
Do you know why they were like, "Oh,
43:47
there's alligators near the facility, so
43:49
if anyone tries to escape, they'll get
43:50
eaten by alligators." Well, alligators
43:52
live in [ __ ] swamps. And swamps are
43:56
places that water collects.
43:59
And water collects in places where
44:01
there's often hurricanes.
44:06
Hey, RTV Daniels, thanks man. Longtime
44:07
follower. My brother volunteered was in
44:09
Harkiv the same time you were out there
44:10
in 24 and 25. Nice. Appreciate all you
44:13
do. Thanks, man. Slava Ukani. Thanks,
44:15
man.
44:17
Boys in in in Hark are doing good work,
44:20
man.
44:24
Yeah. Oh my god, this is embarrassing.
44:26
Imagine coming to America for the World
44:28
Cup. Like imagine you're going to
44:29
America, the the greatest, the world
44:34
superpower, the bastion, the defender of
44:38
freedom around the world, the country
44:40
that invented AI, the country that built
44:44
the [ __ ] nuclear bomb, the first
44:47
flight,
44:49
right? the the the the country that
44:52
invented the internet and you are going
44:55
to their great state fair and you see
44:59
this absolute dog [ __ ] okay?
45:04
Like this straight [ __ ] garbage.
45:08
I am just embarrassed for everyone else,
45:11
right?
45:33
Okay, let's see. Let's see. This is the
45:34
kickoff celebration from Fox News.
45:38
Okay, it doesn't exactly look super well
45:40
attended. Okay, they're doing the thing
45:41
where they zoom in. Wait, here they are
45:43
kind of zooming out. All right, this is
45:44
literally the president speaking.
45:47
He's behind the glass. Oh my god.
45:49
Nobody's doing the [ __ ] [ __ ] They
45:51
can't even They're trying to dance, but
45:52
they can't. Look at this. Oh, they're
45:54
pipe. They're They're broadcasting the
45:55
crowds. Oh my god. I've never seen a
45:57
weaker, sadder crowd. That's not true.
46:00
This is This isn't If I was like uh If I
46:05
was like a local country artist, I'd be
46:07
kind of into this. I'd be sort of happy.
46:09
God bless them. They're trying.
46:12
Oh, sorry. Sorry. They're mad at me. The
46:14
the algorithm is mad at me. I'm sorry,
46:16
algorithm. Cut me a break. Warrior,
46:18
thanks for the 10. Hey, Paul. Happy to
46:20
have caught this. Hope you don't mind
46:20
the off-topic question. Any thoughts on
46:22
the UK drone ships in defense spending
46:23
package? Curious about a more educated
46:25
perspective? I haven't seen anything
46:26
about new UK drone ships, but let's see
46:28
if we can learn something.
46:31
I assume they mean drone carriers. Okay.
46:34
UK Defense Journal. Here we go. Britain
46:36
to build a fleet of drone warships.
46:38
Britain build a fleet of hybrid warships
46:41
designed to command uncrrewed systems
46:42
across the air, surface, and subsurface.
46:44
ordering at least six new combat common
46:48
common combat vessels to replace the
46:49
Royal Navy's type 45 destroyers and a
46:51
planned type 83. Sorry, let me make
46:53
sure. Am I still on?
46:59
Can you guys see me still? Am I Am I
47:02
here? Okay. All right. um
47:07
described as the Royal Navy's first
47:09
hybrid warship act as a control hub that
47:10
coordinates drones in all three domains
47:12
to deliver air defense with the first
47:14
ships expected in the 2030s.
47:16
They form a crude core of a far larger
47:19
mixed force once in service. The vessels
47:21
will operate alongside eight
47:23
type 26 and five Type 31 frig in a new
47:26
family of uncrrewed platforms. The type
47:28
31 missile platform, the type 92
47:30
underwater sensing platform, type 93
47:32
extra-l large crude underwater vehicle,
47:36
type 94 sensing platform, an
47:38
arrangement, a once in a generation
47:39
investment in maritime capability.
47:45
New class is built for a harder
47:46
operating environment, saying the vessel
47:47
will give salad hybrid ships designed
47:49
and built for increasing threats we
47:51
face.
47:54
uh
47:55
shift away from concentrated capability
47:57
in a few large expensive holes would
47:59
extend the Navy's reach, resilience, and
48:00
firepower without a proportional
48:02
increase in cost or crew. Uh it sounds
48:04
like the kind of right idea I always
48:07
wonder about being like let's
48:09
concentrate command into a single v
48:12
vulnerable hub cuz like the point of the
48:15
drone is the dispersion. Like the
48:17
dispersion is the thing that makes it
48:19
great is that knocking out a drone like
48:23
drones are as cheap as bullets. Well,
48:25
let's say that you said, "Listen,
48:27
instead of having 800 soldiers fire
48:30
their own guns, let's just have one
48:32
single hub where all the guns are
48:35
controlled from, right? And there's a
48:37
reason we don't do that, right? The
48:39
reason we don't do that is because that
48:41
one single hub becomes a target thereby
48:44
defeating the thing that makes drones
48:47
effective which is the dispersion.
48:52
Oh, uncrrewed is because um Britain
48:54
believes that it um will subconsciously
48:56
make people sexist if you call them
48:58
unmanned.
49:02
You may think, "Huh, when it comes to
49:04
defending your country, tiny tiny
49:06
psychological massaging seems
49:08
pointless." And I agree, but it's also
49:10
pointless for me to be like, don't, you
49:13
know,
49:20
and honestly, if changing it to
49:22
uncrrewed gets one more female operator
49:26
to sign up, one more female soldier,
49:29
sailor, airman, or or to sign up for the
49:32
UK's defense, then great. It was worth
49:35
it because the military names things
49:39
stupid [ __ ] all the [ __ ] time. Okay,
49:43
if you have a problem with unmanned
49:44
versus uncrrewed, you should also
49:46
probably be seething at calling things
49:47
type 45 destroyers, type 91 missile
49:50
platforms. Those are also stupid names.
49:52
And again, if it gets like a hundred
49:55
more female sailors to get on board,
49:58
call I'll call the ship's [ __ ] Barbie
50:00
Dreamhouse if it will it'll if it'll get
50:03
[ __ ] crewman to it'll it'll get
50:07
crewman to to raise their right hand or
50:09
whatever the equivalent is in the UK.
50:20
Yeah. Hy. Yeah, that's like the trope,
50:23
right? In every in every [ __ ] sci-fi
50:25
movie, the magic that defeats the
50:28
advanced aliens is when somebody goes,
50:30
"Guys, there's a there's a there's a
50:33
command center that powers all of the
50:35
overwhelming enemy's forces. The enemy
50:38
has never heard of redundancy ever. And
50:41
if we blow up the mother ship, then
50:43
everything is going to kabooy, right?
50:53
Like and that is stupid. Like that is
50:57
something that American like like the
50:59
average Civil War soldier is like, "Hey,
51:01
we probably shouldn't have like one
51:04
general who knows everything." You know,
51:16
Russian logistics could the Russian
51:18
logistics could call it Barbie Horse
51:19
Adventure. That should be the name of
51:22
our political party, the Barbie Horse
51:23
Adventure Club.
51:37
O one concept based on the Triton
51:39
trimearine demonstrator was a lean crude
51:43
sensor platform with full autonomy under
51:44
study with reduced crewing would come
51:47
through automation autonomy and the
51:48
embodiment of artificial intelligence.
51:50
Oh good. Oh good. the same system
51:56
that thought a girl school was a [ __ ]
52:00
IRGC base because AI is designed to kiss
52:05
your ass. AI is a language model. It's
52:07
not actually a targeting model.
52:10
And just because you use language to
52:13
communicate what you know about targets
52:18
doesn't mean that it is actually
52:21
targeting. It means it is using the same
52:24
language that someone who is an expert
52:25
in targeting would use.
52:42
Like that's what bothers me when these
52:44
people are like they're going to be AI
52:45
powered. I'm like listen AI only works
52:49
every effective thing is when the thing
52:52
you are selecting for has been trained
52:55
on a large corpus of data that is
52:59
classifiable. So code it's really good
53:02
at coding because there's a massive
53:05
massive body of human built code and it
53:08
knows what that code does. You can
53:09
classify the code by what it does. It's
53:11
actually sort of almost that's almost
53:14
what coding is is classifications.
53:17
Same with language. You can be like
53:19
listen complete this poem
53:22
and it can do it.
53:24
Complete this sentence. I'm a military
53:28
officer asking you about targeting.
53:30
Right.
53:41
And
53:45
like
53:48
that's my fear is that when people think
53:50
like human beings
53:53
intrinsically right we use language
53:54
mostly to communicate
53:57
expertise and knowledge and when you
53:59
have something that can faximile
54:01
language it can it can trick us into
54:04
thinking it has expertise. It doesn't.
54:05
Right? That's the Redditor the Reddit
54:07
commenter. Like when you're an expert in
54:09
something, like when I'm a I'm a
54:11
jiu-jitsu expert, right? I did the sport
54:13
for 17 years. I have my black belt. I've
54:15
done a gazillion competitions. Blah blah
54:16
blah blah blah. The r/bjj subreddit is
54:20
loaded with people who are confidently
54:22
wrong. I've never seen more confidently
54:25
wrong people. And here's the thing. I
54:28
then go to every other subreddit and I
54:30
just go, "That sounds right. That sounds
54:33
believable." I'm like, "No, I know for a
54:36
fact that this is they're in the area
54:39
where I can make a good assessment were
54:41
comically wrong."
54:43
Right? And everyone else,
54:46
it it won't,
54:48
right? AI. Here's the thing. People
54:51
like, "Oh, Ukraine's using AI." Ukraine
54:54
is using AI and its drones currently
54:58
the actual technically smart way. Why?
55:00
Because one, they have collected and
55:03
they have paid units to send them
55:08
probably hundreds of thousands of
55:10
successful strikes. Strikes that are
55:13
known to have been successful. Not not
55:17
probably, not maybe. Confirmed
55:19
successful strikes. They have fed all of
55:22
that video into machine learning
55:23
software so that it can build an AI
55:26
system that is not an LLM, but it is an
55:30
AI that can perform the final
55:34
30 seconds of a FPV drone strike that
55:38
can recreate that.
55:40
But that is the thing. They have taken a
55:42
human vetted corpus of information and
55:46
used it to train a system to do that
55:48
thing within the s within the the corpus
55:50
of information.
55:52
Again, if you haven't done that first,
55:56
you don't have an AI system. You have a
55:59
system that just kind of
56:02
creates faximiles.
56:12
Yeah, AI targeted the girl school
56:14
probably because it was a pre-planned
56:16
target 10 years ago because it had been
56:18
an IRGC base. Someone fed the images to
56:21
a chatbot to say confirm that this is
56:23
still an IRGC base. the chatbot that has
56:27
never been trained on imagery analysis
56:32
and it has never been fed a corpus of
56:34
data that says this thing was determined
56:37
to be a girl school. We know because
56:39
someone on the ground confirmed it and
56:42
this was determined to be an IRGC base.
56:44
It's just
56:46
it's just a general purpose model.
56:50
And so it said it did what it it thought
56:52
was a faximile. I'm speculating here. I
56:55
it did what it believed was a faximile
56:57
of what a real targeting officer would
56:58
say, which is that looks like a great
57:01
target. Here's why. And then it rolls
57:03
out a bunch of cope.
57:15
Yeah, exactly. It's like even capture
57:18
data is better. Like that's what they
57:20
should have been doing. They should have
57:22
sent. But here's the problem. In in war,
57:26
you can't you can't use like
57:31
you can't train an AI to do targeting.
57:35
You can train
57:37
you can train you could pro maybe train
57:39
an AI to do targeting, but it would take
57:42
you years. You would have to sit there
57:44
and take b have basically every human
57:45
analyst and you would have to feed them
57:51
um
57:52
images basically satellite images,
57:55
thermal images, all kinds of images of
57:58
things that they already know what they
58:00
are. So you would send them the human
58:03
analyst an image. You would tell them,
58:05
"Hey, confirm that this is really a girl
58:08
school. Confirm that this is really a
58:09
bus station. confirm that this is really
58:11
a missile silo. Like you would have to
58:14
they would have to know for sure what it
58:16
is. They'd have to classify it. Then
58:18
they have to feed it to the AI.
58:21
But here's the problem. In war,
58:24
things are always changing. So, if I am
58:28
the IRGC and I want to stop the US AI
58:32
from bombing me and I know that the AI
58:34
is trained to recognize an IRGC base, I
58:37
would simply do bunch of random [ __ ]
58:39
that would confuse it. I'd paint it
58:41
blue. I'd make it look like a church. I
58:43
would uh uh put a [ __ ] uh 16 chimneys
58:48
on it. I would do anything to confuse
58:51
the image classifier so that it isn't
58:53
able to effectively determine what it
58:55
is. Right,
59:06
Mr. Noro. Yeah, it says it was a special
59:08
military version of Grock, but there's
59:10
no possible way that I'm saying that the
59:12
data that they want to train it on
59:14
doesn't exist.
59:16
It can't it can't really exist because
59:19
again
59:21
like
59:23
what does an Iranian supermarket look
59:24
like? Like it's a real question. Someone
59:27
tell me like we'll go to Google Maps and
59:30
we'll be like
59:32
like supermarket Tan. Okay.
59:38
Nobody can even tell me where it is,
59:40
right? Uh search this area for
59:42
supermarket. Okay. Okay. Here's Tan.
59:44
Here's some supermarkets. Okay, tell me.
59:47
Tell me. Pretend you're a [ __ ]
59:49
analyst.
59:54
Identify this as a supermarket.
59:58
Like, here's your [ __ ] street view.
1:00:01
Uh,
1:00:05
how can you [ __ ] identify this,
1:00:06
right? Do do you see the intrinsic
1:00:08
problems in here?
1:00:18
You know what I mean?
1:00:20
This is what's the problem. How can you
1:00:23
train even if this is a supermarket in
1:00:26
Iran? Right now, let's do supermarket uh
1:00:30
uh our friends in Houston, Texas getting
1:00:32
cooked alive. Right.
1:00:36
Here you go. Here's a Houston an HMart
1:00:39
in Houston, Texas.
1:00:41
Do you see the difference? Now, pretend
1:00:43
you're an AI. And you tell it, you ask
1:00:45
it, "Hey, man, is that thing in Iran,
1:00:48
was that a supermarket?
1:00:51
You could feed it every supermarket in
1:00:52
the United States." And it's going to
1:00:54
tell you, "I have it." It's going it's
1:00:56
What it's not going to tell you is I
1:00:57
have no idea if that's a supermarket or
1:00:59
not.
1:01:01
In fact, in fact, let's have a little
1:01:03
fun. Let's put it to Let's put it to the
1:01:05
test. Let's go to Grock.
1:01:10
Let's let's let's grock it. Okay.
1:01:17
Let's just ask it.
1:01:20
Let's go to Iran
1:01:25
and let's take a look. Let's have a
1:01:27
little fun.
1:01:30
Okay.
1:01:32
So, I'm going to just select something.
1:01:34
Uh ideally with no
1:01:37
Okay.
1:01:39
and we're going to ask it a simple
1:01:40
question. Let's see. We're going to do a
1:01:42
little print screen.
1:01:46
Okay, there's that. All right, now let
1:01:50
me sorry. Let me pull up some things.
1:01:52
We're just going to We're just having a
1:01:53
little fun, guys. We're just having a
1:01:54
little fun and we're going to see uh see
1:01:57
how it goes. Okay, so
1:02:00
let's ask Rock the allimportant
1:02:01
question. Well, I even want it to do
1:02:05
All right.
1:02:07
thinks hard. Oh, it says I can't. It
1:02:09
won't let me think hard.
1:02:12
Somebody's like, "Uh, GG, wait, you're
1:02:14
still streaming?" Uh,
1:02:16
no. I started late. I started late. This
1:02:18
isn't me from five. I'm I would I don't
1:02:20
have the energy. If I start streaming
1:02:21
for 5 hours at a time, I'm either manic
1:02:24
or I'm doing an event. We might be doing
1:02:26
an event soon, but
1:02:29
Okay, let's see. Let's see.
1:02:33
Can you help me determine if the image I
1:02:40
upload is of a supermarket?
1:02:46
It is located in Iran. Okay. Now I need
1:02:51
to let me just add
1:02:55
upload a file from the desktop.
1:02:59
Okay. All right. Right. So, I'm an
1:03:00
analyst and I just asked it. Help me
1:03:02
determine
1:03:04
sign and upload files. You're such a
1:03:06
piece of [ __ ] Grock. I hate you.
1:03:10
Uh, let's see if it'll let me. See if
1:03:12
it'll let me log in. Please just let me
1:03:15
log in
1:03:18
and not make it a big [ __ ] thing.
1:03:24
Okay, that's fine.
1:03:26
Okay.
1:03:28
Okay. Let's ask it again.
1:03:30
I need you to determine if this image is
1:03:36
is of a super market
1:03:43
or not. It is located in Iran. All
1:03:46
right. So, this should be a good test of
1:03:49
Grock's ability to do some classifiers.
1:03:52
Fun fact, uh it's not a supermarket, but
1:03:56
let's see what it says.
1:03:57
Please confirm your age. Okay.
1:04:05
Okay. It's thinking about it.
1:04:09
It's thinking hard.
1:04:20
Okay. So, it determined that one of them
1:04:21
was Tamori.
1:04:28
looking through the web.
1:04:38
Interesting. It's just searching the
1:04:39
internet.
1:04:41
Uh people like why Grock has Grock has
1:04:43
some military contracts.
1:04:47
This isn't a referendum on whether or
1:04:49
not Grock is good or Grock is bad. Um
1:04:52
this is because Grock was used to do
1:04:54
perform I think this function of getting
1:04:58
satellite imagery and trying to
1:04:59
determine what is there.
1:05:02
But as you can see and and here I'll
1:05:04
pull up the actual screenshot that I
1:05:06
took. Uh you can see it it sort of
1:05:09
cheated because it gave me the Google
1:05:11
Maps streets. Um which I I kind of
1:05:14
didn't want it to almost I almost wanted
1:05:16
raw satellite footage.
1:05:19
Um, okay. So, it says, "No, it's not a
1:05:21
supermarket." Correct. Um,
1:05:26
right.
1:05:31
See, here you go. Modern supermarkets or
1:05:33
hypermarkets usually appear as large
1:05:34
single rectangular structures with
1:05:36
dedicated parking, loading areas, and
1:05:37
uniform roofing. None of which are
1:05:38
visible here. But that's not necessarily
1:05:41
true. Right now, it kind of uses a
1:05:44
family supermarket in Iran, but again,
1:05:48
like
1:05:50
it says it thinks it's actually a bizaar
1:05:54
in an older commercial residential court
1:05:56
of Iran, but we don't know if that's
1:05:57
true. Uh, it identifies the streets and
1:06:02
matches commercial zones with mixed
1:06:03
small shops, not big box retail. It's
1:06:05
from Google Maps. The layout strongly
1:06:07
resembles an older bizarre style
1:06:08
district rather than a major chain
1:06:09
supermarkets. Right. If you have exact
1:06:12
coordinates, I can discern this further.
1:06:16
So, I'm kind of interested would also
1:06:18
would be interesting. And let's see,
1:06:19
let's see if it correctly identified
1:06:21
this as being a bizaar, right? Oh, it
1:06:24
can't. So, it appears to say that
1:06:26
there's a fast food shop here.
1:06:30
Um,
1:06:32
but in terms of shops, I I think that's
1:06:34
kind of it. There's a video game store.
1:06:36
So, it looks like just kind of standard
1:06:38
shopping, maybe. Here's a park in Hosny
1:06:41
Square.
1:06:43
Uh, so as you can see, it doesn't really
1:06:46
look much like that. It looks very
1:06:47
residential.
1:06:50
Uh, I would say they was wrong to call
1:06:52
it a bizaar. It doesn't appear to be a
1:06:54
bizaar at all. It just looks like,
1:06:56
again, residential shops.
1:06:59
So, you see what I mean? How it it
1:07:02
basically relied on
1:07:05
the named streets.
1:07:08
Um,
1:07:10
again, it said that what it saw was
1:07:12
narrow passages, irregular, closely
1:07:14
packed rooftops typical of a traditional
1:07:16
Iranian bazaar or market, but it's not.
1:07:18
We just saw it says or an urban older
1:07:21
commercial residential quarter in Tran,
1:07:23
which which it is. So, again, I'm a
1:07:26
little skeptical because it it literally
1:07:27
got the
1:07:30
but it it just it just it seems to have
1:07:32
like failed to make a good
1:07:33
determination.
1:07:40
Yeah, let's see. Let's see if I can find
1:07:42
it without the street names.
1:07:47
Okay, so let me go in here. Let me see
1:07:49
if we can get an image of Ton, right?
1:07:53
And let's see if I can actually go to
1:07:55
layers and ask it to show me just
1:07:57
terrain.
1:08:00
Okay. Uh, satellite
1:08:03
map details.
1:08:05
How do I tell it? None.
1:08:08
Okay, I want satellite. Oh, no labels.
1:08:10
Perfect. Here we go. Satellite. No
1:08:12
labels. Okay, so let's just pick a
1:08:15
place.
1:08:19
In fact, okay, I tan. Let's say Tan's
1:08:22
pretty tough. Let's pick Okay, let's
1:08:26
pick a site. Here we go. Here we go.
1:08:30
Let's see.
1:08:32
Let's pick this. Perfect. Okay. And now
1:08:37
we're going to ask it another question.
1:08:38
Let's go back to Grock because it had
1:08:40
its military targets, right?
1:08:47
Okay.
1:08:50
All right. So, we'll do this and I'm
1:08:52
probably Now, I need to Sorry. right
1:08:54
here. Let me help you guys out
1:08:57
to determine if this Iranian site is
1:09:03
still a uh IRGC
1:09:07
base. IRGC we we'll call it operation
1:09:15
headquarters.
1:09:17
Okay. So, I want to be clear. I'm almost
1:09:20
certain that it is not okay. It's just a
1:09:24
random building south of the airport.
1:09:26
There is absolutely I have zero reason
1:09:28
to believe that it has anything to do
1:09:30
with the IRGC. I just picked it at
1:09:32
random. Okay. So now we're going to see
1:09:38
and now but but you notice the language
1:09:40
the language I had is leading it towards
1:09:42
secency. I need to determine if this is
1:09:45
still an IRGC operational headquarters.
1:09:48
Right. So we'll upload the file.
1:09:51
Okay. Okay, right there.
1:09:54
Okay,
1:09:56
let's just see.
1:10:05
OG dirty Kenobi. If one person on Reddit
1:10:07
one time said it's a supermarket, then
1:10:08
they'll just say it is.
1:10:12
Yeah. If they blow up this thing. Yeah.
1:10:24
Uh let's see.
1:10:33
Interesting. So this actually says it is
1:10:36
almost certainly not still functioning
1:10:38
as an active IRGC operational
1:10:40
headquarters. and it cites Reuters
1:10:43
saying satellite imagery shows damage to
1:10:46
key facilities.
1:10:48
The provided satellite image from Google
1:10:50
showing a large military-industrial
1:10:51
style complex with a distinctive central
1:10:53
building feature multiple connected
1:10:54
light colored angled or sawtooth garbled
1:10:55
roofs surrounded by warehouses, parking
1:10:57
roads, and aided surroundings depict
1:10:58
what appears to be a pre-conlict view of
1:11:00
an Iranian facility. Based on extensive
1:11:02
open source reporting from early to mid
1:11:04
2006, major IRDC command and headquarter
1:11:06
sites in around Tyran and elsewhere were
1:11:08
heavily targeted and damaged or
1:11:10
destroyed. Oh,
1:11:13
so they're saying, well, this is stupid.
1:11:17
Interesting.
1:11:22
The prominent zigzag saw roof structure
1:11:24
is characteristic of large warehouse and
1:11:26
hanger style buildings common in Iranian
1:11:27
military-industrial or logistics
1:11:29
complexes. Such features are visible in
1:11:31
known IRGC affiliated sites. The overall
1:11:33
layout matches descriptions of IRGC
1:11:36
compounds in urban or per urban Tan or
1:11:38
nearby areas that were struck. And as of
1:11:40
June 2026, no credible reports indicate
1:11:42
full operational restoration of prewar
1:11:44
IRGC headquarters in sites like this.
1:11:46
Iran's been repairing, dispensing, but
1:11:48
major fix headquarters were priority
1:11:49
targets. RGC operations are
1:11:51
compartmentalized and resilience
1:11:52
resilient dispersed among hundreds of
1:11:55
locations. This specific visible complex
1:11:57
is unlikely. Okay. So, command functions
1:12:00
likely continue to be dispersed in hard
1:12:02
locations. So, basically what this says,
1:12:07
okay, uh do you think it was a prewar
1:12:14
uh headquarters?
1:12:18
Do you
1:12:23
facility.
1:12:29
This is very There you go.
1:12:33
There you go. This is just a This is
1:12:36
random [ __ ] It took absolutely no
1:12:40
[ __ ] pushing at all
1:12:43
for it to be like, "Yes, this was an
1:12:46
IRGC facility." Guys, I'm here to tell
1:12:49
you, I don't know what the [ __ ] this is.
1:12:52
It's just some random [ __ ] blue
1:12:53
building south of the airport. Okay,
1:12:56
let's uh let's see what it really is.
1:12:58
Let's see if we can uh turn on labels.
1:13:02
Okay,
1:13:06
it is a printing house. Is the Kojan
1:13:10
Kakistan printing house
1:13:13
also a steel distributor.
1:13:15
It's nothing. It's just some random
1:13:17
[ __ ] [ __ ] Some absolutely random
1:13:20
[ __ ]
1:13:31
Yeah. My gripe is not that it it doesn't
1:13:33
know. It's that you see it kissed my
1:13:36
ass. The odds that a random [ __ ]
1:13:38
building in Iran is actually an IRGC
1:13:39
headquarters. One, I said now I need to
1:13:42
determine if So I sent it this thing. I
1:13:44
said, "Please determine if the site is
1:13:45
still an operational headquarters." They
1:13:47
said, "No, it's not operational because
1:13:48
all the operational headquarters have
1:13:50
been blown up." Uh, okay, sure. So then
1:13:52
I said, "Okay, was it a fac a pre-war
1:13:54
IRGC facility?" And it thought for two
1:13:57
seconds and said, "Yep, it was." Which
1:14:00
is crazy. I can't imagine we lost the
1:14:02
[ __ ] war. How do we lose a war with
1:14:04
this [ __ ] brilliant AI, but do you
1:14:06
see how it talks like a really good
1:14:10
intel assessment, right? Like if I was
1:14:15
this these words sound like
1:14:21
an intellig like
1:14:24
this this sounds like a human analyst or
1:14:26
like a a like this sounds like a an
1:14:28
ocean analyst like a good or a good sing
1:14:30
an analyst
1:14:33
but the problem is that if you peel bit
1:14:35
back beyond just the empty words the
1:14:40
performing the communic if you if you
1:14:42
look for the information underneath it
1:14:44
you see there's almost nothing it
1:14:46
doesn't even site sources
1:14:50
Right.
1:14:53
And it's it's terrifying. We would have
1:14:55
committed a war crime. If I had used
1:14:57
this assessment to drive a decision to
1:14:59
conduct a strike, I would have gone to
1:15:00
[ __ ] jail because I would have just
1:15:03
recklessly with disregard with reckless
1:15:05
disregard for civilian life targeted
1:15:09
an Iranian civilian. I would have
1:15:12
murdered a bunch of civilians.
1:15:19
So,
1:15:21
okay guys, that's going to be it. Thank
1:15:23
you guys for tuning in. This was a
1:15:25
really interesting live stream um
1:15:29
yeah, this was a really interesting live
1:15:31
stream. I really enjoyed this and I
1:15:32
really appreciate you guys uh
1:15:36
doing this.
1:15:38
All right, so I'll see you guys. Have a
1:15:40
good one. Uh
1:15:43
peace out. Cheers.
