  Normal Newsweekly, the weekly news show that aims to keep you

• 0:10
  2026 and we'll be going through some of the biggest stories from

  Indonesia and the rest of the world.
• 0:16
  As always, we implore you to read these stories in detail
• 0:19
  from the news publications listed in the description below.
• 0:23
  Any commentary provided in this episode will be our own personal
• 0:27
  opinion and should be taken with a a grain of salt because we are
• 0:32
  not always right. We are regular folks, not
• 0:35
  experts, apparently. Sometimes we're wrong.
• 0:38
  Sometimes we're wrong. Imagine that.
• 0:40
  Wow. I am Satya, your host for this
• 0:42
  episode. My Co host, as always, are Arya
• 0:44
  and Daniel. Hello.
• 0:47
  We'll be jumping straight into the international news.
• 0:49
  I see you're wearing glasses now.
• 0:51
  Yeah, fantastic. It's a I'm, I'm going for that
• 0:54
  smart, professional look. And so I'm being like, hey, you
• 0:57
  can trust me with your information.
• 0:59
  I look forward to seeing you in a blazer.
• 1:00
  It looks smart and professional. Indeed, indeed, indeed.
• 1:03
  I've never seen you in a tie before.
• 1:07
  Next episode. Jumping straight into our
• 1:11
  international news today, the non war war in Iran continues as
• 1:16
  the country trades jabs with the US, Israel and the Gulf
• 1:19
  countries. Now this week CNN reported that
• 1:22
  Iran has begun to mine the Strait of Hormuz.
• 1:25
  Apparently, they've placed around 12 of them so far, but
• 1:28
  there are worries that even more mines will be laid, given 80 to
• 1:32
  90% of its mine layers are apparently still operational
• 1:36
  now. In response, the US President
• 1:38
  Donald Trump on Truth Social very kindly requested the mines
• 1:42
  be removed immediately, gently reminding the Iranian regime to
• 1:46
  beware of technology and missile capabilities deployed against
• 1:50
  drug traffickers. Wow indeed, very kindly.
• 1:55
  Meanwhile, the US has said that they've destroyed several
• 1:58
  Iranian ships, including mine layers, over the past few days.
• 2:02
  In fact, the US still sees Iranian attacks towards oil
• 2:06
  tankers as the greatest threats in the Strait of Hormuz, and by
• 2:10
  that I mean direct attacks towards oil tankers.
• 2:14
  You've seen some videos of oil tankers in the Strait on fire
• 2:18
  recently, haven't we boys? That's what I have Twitter for.
• 2:21
  That's indeed that's not good for the air man.
• 2:24
  Not. Good for the air, not good for
• 2:25
  the economy. Not good for the economy.
• 2:27
  For all of us who seek, who need gas.
• 2:29
  Least of all the people who live there, ah.
• 2:31
  Least of all Jesus, especially the Iranians and everyone else
• 2:35
  in the Gulf states. Now it appears the US has
• 2:39
  changed their objectives of this war to destroying their missiles
• 2:44
  from liberating the Iranian people.
• 2:46
  Because I can imagine using missiles to kill school children
• 2:50
  was not a good indicator it seems like.
• 2:54
  Yeah, it seems like people's definition of war keeps
• 2:56
  shifting. I saw this tweet that says like.
• 2:59
  I think calling this a conflict is like the Gen.
• 3:03
  Z version of calling a relation a failed relationship, a
• 3:06
  situationship. Yeah, yeah.
• 3:08
  'Cause this is the type of thing that like we saw when the
• 3:11
  Russians said that they were going to be in Ukraine for three
• 3:13
  days. Yeah, and there's going to be a
• 3:14
  special military operation. Wasn't it?
• 3:17
  Oh, yeah, exactly. So I think what we're seeing
• 3:18
  right now is being like, all right, guys, guys, look away.
• 3:21
  We're moving the goal posts we're going to have.
• 3:23
  It wasn't any. Years of special military
• 3:25
  operation. Oh no.
• 3:27
  Wait, I'm starting to think that Trump didn't care about the
• 3:31
  Iranian people to begin with. No, I'm starting to think
• 3:33
  that's. No, no, you don't say.
• 3:35
  You got to be honest, man. Orange dictator man doesn't care
• 3:38
  about brown people. Brown.
• 3:40
  Country. What a revelation.
• 3:41
  What a revelation. I'm heartbroken, man.
• 3:43
  Yeah, I don't believe he lied to me.
• 3:45
  It's so sad. He lied to us, bro.
• 3:46
  Yeah, we're all hurt. We're all hurt.
• 3:49
  My God, I got to do better next time, yeah.
• 3:51
  Now markets reacted as expected to news of mines in the Strait.
• 3:56
  Because I need. The price of crude oil has once
• 3:58
  again climbed to $93 per barrel after a relatively stable period
• 4:04
  lasting 2 days. There was a two whole days.
• 4:08
  Two whole days, man, two whole days.
• 4:09
  There was a point on Monday during which crude oil touched
• 4:12
  $115 per barrel. But tensions eased after the
• 4:17
  American president called the war in Iran.
• 4:20
  And I quote complete shortly before as Defense Secretary
• 4:24
  announced they had struck new targets in Iran and the straight
• 4:27
  and despite having said previously that the attacks
• 4:29
  wouldn't stop until, quote, unconditional surrender.
• 4:33
  Yeah, good luck with that. Yeah.
• 4:36
  In the meantime, however, the Iranian government has
• 4:38
  repeatedly refused any form of surrender because why would you
• 4:41
  when you're being invaded by a foreign nation?
• 4:43
  And in fact, if Singapore invaded us today.
• 4:46
  Well, I would. I'm going to say bad stuff
• 4:49
  without No, no, we're against all sorts of foreign invasion.
• 4:54
  No, we really are. Yes, the Iranian government, of
• 4:56
  course, is now being led by Mujtaba Khamenei.
• 4:59
  I do apologize if I screwed up that pronunciation.
• 5:04
  The son of the previous supreme leader.
• 5:07
  Despite this, the new supreme leader has not yet been seen in
• 5:10
  public after apparently being injured in the same strike that
• 5:14
  killed his father. Reports have said the young
• 5:17
  Khamenei is even more hardline than the elder, which, if you
• 5:20
  believe in human rights, is probably not that great.
• 5:24
  Oh, there is AI want to interject for a bit?
• 5:27
  There's like a, there's a like a very hilarious meme that I saw
• 5:31
  where it's like it's a, it's SpongeBob smashing up a clock
• 5:35
  and it's supposed to be like that.
• 5:36
  That's Ayatollah. And Scooter reveals the wardrobe
• 5:39
  just full of clocks. They have many more Ayatollah's
• 5:42
  fellows. It's not one guy.
• 5:43
  Yeah. Now that being said.
• 5:48
  No, sorry. Just like I didn't expect a a a
• 5:51
  foreign policy take. SpongeBob was the last thing I
• 5:54
  expected. But hey, I guess this is what
• 5:56
  news is for. You can you can put up the the
• 5:58
  the meme if I can find it right here.
• 6:00
  Yeah, now with that being said, with evidence strongly pointing
• 6:03
  towards the US as the perpetrator behind the strike
• 6:07
  that killed more than 165 people, many of them children,
• 6:10
  alongside Israeli famously ethical methods of genocide in
• 6:13
  Gaza. Famously.
• 6:14
  Famously, they're not exactly heroes either.
• 6:18
  In fact, it's all a bit of a shit show in the Middle East.
• 6:22
  Not in the Middle East, in West Asia, at the.
• 6:23
  Moment West Asia, you know, we're calling it West Asia from.
• 6:25
  Now on because that is. Not colonial term.
• 6:28
  That is the right term to describe the Levant, Jordan, you
• 6:34
  know, I mean, technically, technically, technically, Iran
• 6:36
  is in Persia. It's not West Asia.
• 6:39
  It's West of Asia. It's West of Asia.
• 6:42
  No, but they're still a part of Asia.
• 6:43
  Asia Minor. Asia Minor because.
• 6:45
  When you think about. It we haven't called it Asia
• 6:48
  Minor. Oh my God.
• 6:49
  We're rejecting the old British Empire of the Middle East.
• 6:53
  We really are. Middle East from where, bro?
• 6:56
  Yeah, from London, man. Everyone here saw that one video
• 7:02
  of that one lecture in like SOAS.
• 7:04
  Being like you do not call it, you cannot call.
• 7:07
  It Middle East. Call it West Asia, it is based.
• 7:10
  So here's my question to you fellas.
• 7:12
  How long do you think the war will last?
• 7:15
  Now, speculations abound, but one thing that we can be sure of
• 7:20
  that the war is going to last longer than Trump says it is.
• 7:24
  Well. Whatever.
• 7:25
  Trump says it's definitely going to last longer than he think
• 7:27
  it'll last. Whatever Trump says, it's going
• 7:29
  to last. It's going to last longer than
• 7:31
  what he's saying is because he, he, he wants it to or he wants
• 7:36
  to project an idea that the war's going to end fast because
• 7:39
  the longer it drags out, the worse it is for him, obviously.
• 7:42
  You have to keep in mind as well that before this they had some
• 7:46
  kind of they were in the midst of talks for some kind of
• 7:49
  nuclear deal. Yeah, of course.
• 7:52
  You know, famously the nuclear deal in Iran, that it's just
• 7:55
  just, we're only years away from getting it done.
• 7:58
  Yeah, exactly. Almost there, despite having had
• 8:00
  a previous nuclear deal between Iran and the United States and
• 8:04
  several other nuclear nations as well.
• 8:06
  This is the deal that Trump torpedoed.
• 8:07
  Exactly the same one. Yeah, we're so close.
• 8:10
  That shit. We're so close.
• 8:11
  No, I, I, I don't remember how long exactly.
• 8:14
  I mean, technically the, the if you, if you go to Wikipedia,
• 8:17
  yeah, the for, for the genocide in Gaza.
• 8:20
  Yeah, it does say that is that it is still occurring to this
• 8:23
  day. It is still occurring to this.
• 8:24
  Day, but at the same time, there's also been purportedly,
• 8:28
  yeah, some ceasefires between Hamas and Israel, which has been
• 8:33
  violated multiple times. Yeah, I feel like, I feel like
• 8:37
  you can't call the conflict over if every single time we call,
• 8:40
  every single time there's a time out, everyone just keeps playing
• 8:42
  in the field. Exactly.
• 8:43
  Yeah, that's not fair either. And to bring the to bring the
• 8:46
  discussion back to like, what's happening in Iran, I feel like,
• 8:49
  like I like to use the things that I use.
• 8:52
  I like to use kayfabe to describe, you know, the things
• 8:54
  that Trump does. Like, I think Trump is learning
• 8:57
  for the first time that this is not ATV show.
• 8:59
  Yeah. That the cameras can't just cut.
• 9:01
  No. And then?
• 9:02
  Go away. Right.
• 9:03
  Yeah. And like, oh, you started a
• 9:05
  thing. You, you you bit off more than
• 9:07
  you can chew. Well done.
• 9:09
  You've now committed the United States and Israel and probably
• 9:14
  other foreign powers. I know.
• 9:15
  I know the UK is, you know, launching missions out of the
• 9:20
  UAE out of like Saudi Arabia to, to assist with this.
• 9:24
  And I feel like Trump is realizing like I can't exactly
• 9:28
  call 'cause he has a media background, right?
• 9:30
  He has, he has the show and everything.
• 9:31
  And a lot of things that he does is kind of like AI don't like it
• 9:34
  like very reality TV show energy to.
• 9:37
  It What's KFIB? Kayfabe.
• 9:39
  You bring this up in the last one also, but I was too afraid
• 9:41
  to ask. What kayfabe?
• 9:43
  Is you have to explain to us what kayfabe.
• 9:45
  Is I want to be like, Oh yes, of course we're not.
• 9:48
  We're not all fans of the WWE. I'm not a big fan of WWE either,
• 9:52
  but in like, in like the wrestling world, kayfabe is the
• 9:57
  the term for the performance, right, Right.
• 9:59
  That's like, you know, like like in like Smackdown, WWE, it's not
• 10:03
  real wrestling, right, Right. Sure.
• 10:04
  It's performance art. Yeah, It's, it's it's it's
• 10:07
  fighting as performance art. So Kfabe is like when different
• 10:13
  wrestlers have beef with each other.
• 10:15
  Sure. And they get hit with a chair
• 10:16
  and they're like. And then they.
• 10:18
  Play it up for. The right.
• 10:19
  But they're actually secretly buddies in the back.
• 10:20
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, the. Back.
• 10:22
  Yeah, except. Except in this one, they're not
• 10:26
  playing along. They're not exactly like what
• 10:29
  the fuck is wrong with you attacked us. 1st and no exactly.
• 10:32
  Trump's like all right guys, that was good.
• 10:34
  Now we shake hands. What the what?
• 10:36
  Yeah, you can't just do that when you've committed into like
• 10:38
  2 nations to war with each. Other No, yeah.
• 10:40
  Right. I feel like that's the that's
• 10:42
  the thing that he does whenever he like, you know, does like
• 10:44
  domestic politics, right? Yeah, right.
• 10:46
  When like, oh, he it's like the Democrats and the Republicans
• 10:49
  like each other. It's all a show.
• 10:50
  Weird, loud, like news cycle and then it goes away and he can't,
• 10:53
  he can't do that, right? Now, no, not exactly.
• 10:55
  Iran is committed to to like putting up a fight.
• 10:58
  Yeah, the genie is out of the bottle at this point, isn't it?
• 11:01
  Yeah. Yeah, this, this reminds me of
• 11:02
  like what happened with like Saddam Hussein and like the 80s
• 11:05
  when he was like, OK, we're gonna commit like a, a bit of
• 11:09
  like a performance case war with Iran.
• 11:11
  And then Iran locked the fuck in and Saddam Hussein started
• 11:15
  losing and he was like, oh, shit, now what do we do?
• 11:18
  I feel like this is this moment. For Donald Trump, there's going
• 11:20
  to be another thing as well. Because even if the the the the
• 11:24
  Americans succeed, you remember what happened after Saddam
• 11:27
  Hussein was toppled from Iraq. Yeah, power vacuum.
• 11:31
  Yeah, yeah. And instability.
• 11:33
  And the people weren't exactly keen, or at least perhaps you
• 11:36
  know, as as it is with as as it is with with with all countries,
• 11:40
  there's always people who there are always people who would who
• 11:44
  would be opposing one another politically.
• 11:46
  You know what I mean? And you can't get them all agree
• 11:48
  on the same thing. And so even if like exactly what
• 11:53
  happened with Iran about 60-70 years ago at this point, Yeah.
• 11:57
  When when when the American sponsored A coup d'etat against
• 12:02
  the Mossadegh. Almost a day.
• 12:04
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. When they installed the Shah.
• 12:05
  When they installed the Shah, what happened was the Shah
• 12:08
  didn't end up being as popular as they thought he would be.
• 12:13
  And he was pretty corrupt and he was pretty, you know, he was, he
• 12:17
  was pretty oppressive against the Iranians.
• 12:20
  And so you know. That's a funny thing that they
• 12:22
  think that this guy's gonna be the popular one, even though
• 12:24
  they just had a popular vote. Exactly.
• 12:27
  They were like, no, no, that's the wrong one, guy.
• 12:30
  Exactly. Yeah, this is absolutely
• 12:31
  moronic. This is the right choice you
• 12:33
  guys. And and, and, and, and if they
• 12:35
  think because that was apparently originally supposedly
• 12:38
  one of their original goal, yeah, to to topple the Khomeini
• 12:44
  regime and therefore the Iranian government's overall, yeah, who
• 12:49
  the fuck could they choose the other, the other Polyvi kid guy?
• 12:53
  I mean, come on. I I think here, here's the
• 12:56
  thing, I think we're wasting our time trying to think of a plan.
• 12:59
  No, Yeah, we really. Are for the United States and
• 13:01
  the United States went into this without a plan we're.
• 13:03
  Probably thinking. More about the plan than they
• 13:05
  are thinking. About yeah, 100%.
• 13:07
  They're just like, we want to shoot people and we want to feel
• 13:09
  good. Yeah, somewhere, somewhere in
• 13:12
  like the basement of the Pentagon.
• 13:13
  What theft Hecseth. What is the?
• 13:15
  Name of that Pete Hegseth Pete. Hegseth, that's alright Pete,
• 13:17
  that is a crazy. Name.
• 13:19
  It's like opening ChatGPT. How to win war in Iran.
• 13:24
  The alcoholic tough bro, Yeah. Man, I think horrible, horrible
• 13:29
  camo time. Probably slurring the his his
• 13:31
  his words as he types it too. Because he's drunk.
• 13:34
  He's drunk off his marble. Iran.
• 13:38
  Khamenei. Khamenei All right, I think we
• 13:45
  have news from Indonesia, Sir, are ya?
• 13:47
  We keep having news from Indonesia.
• 13:49
  Dude, I, I'm so I, I I love all this news from Indonesia.
• 13:52
  Stop. You gotta stop.
• 13:53
  Give. Me 5 things keep happening.
• 13:56
  But anyway, actually this is a this is a relatively good news.
• 13:59
  Whoa. Good news from Indonesia.
• 14:00
  What? It's amazing.
• 14:03
  Hey, it depends on who you ask, actually, but all right, Christ.
• 14:07
  In a rare win for democracy in Indonesia, 4 activists were
• 14:10
  charged with incitement during the last August's Augustus.
• 14:14
  Augustus Last. August nationwide anti
• 14:17
  government protests have been acquitted of all charges in the
• 14:21
  Central Jakarta District Court. Now the activists, if you
• 14:24
  weren't aware, my were made-up of university students and human
• 14:27
  rights activists, including most notably, the executive director
• 14:31
  for the Locataru Foundation, Del Pedro Marjahan del Pedro, which
• 14:34
  by the way, is a thick ass name. I know, right?
• 14:36
  If you have if you have a name like that, you're not gonna work
• 14:39
  in an office. Yeah.
• 14:40
  You're gonna be like Pedro Marjahan.
• 14:42
  Hey, do you know Del Pedro? Yeah.
• 14:44
  Fuck yeah bro. It's like you're not gonna see a
• 14:45
  LeBron James working at the grocery.
• 14:47
  Store. Nah, man, you're going.
• 14:49
  To the NBA man, Nah. Other than him, there's also the
• 14:52
  staff member for Lokotaro as well, Muzaffar Salem activist
• 14:56
  Shadan Hussein and university student Tariq Anhar.
• 14:59
  Yep. Now the crimes which they were
• 15:01
  charged with, if you ask anyone who's not a cop, is a whole lot
• 15:05
  of junk. As they were told they were in,
• 15:08
  as they were told that they were inciting hatred and hostility
• 15:11
  towards the government which led to protests escalating into the
• 15:15
  riots that we saw last year. Because any Indonesian would
• 15:18
  know it takes a lot to hate our government Now.
• 15:23
  Just just briefly fellas, we gotta ask, with this ruling in
• 15:26
  place, is democracy back? Is this a big W for civil rights
• 15:31
  right? Now, yeah, bro, it's not like
• 15:32
  it's not like all the other. It's like 1000 of protesters
• 15:37
  have been are in jail yet are in jail still.
• 15:41
  We'll get back. We'll get back on.
• 15:42
  That and don't you worry about that four people getting
• 15:45
  released in a country where famously we don't use previous,
• 15:51
  we don't use previous court rulings as a form of thingy for
• 15:55
  the next court ruling, President as president for future court
• 15:59
  ruling. But that's what the people can
• 16:00
  still be arrested. Hey man, that's what I told me
• 16:02
  in law school. The president works, man.
• 16:05
  The president. The legal president is used as
• 16:08
  the source of law are. You switching we should?
• 16:10
  Are you saying we should switch from common law to civil law?
• 16:14
  Is that is that a big? Debate.
• 16:16
  Honestly, I'm just surprised we have good news for once, coming
• 16:18
  from this goddamn country. Yeah.
• 16:22
  And honestly, I think, yeah, I feel like hopefully for like the
• 16:26
  friends and family of those 4 activists, they yeah, they can
• 16:30
  like breathe a sigh of relief. And yeah, and not to also
• 16:35
  mention like I feel like this should hopefully be
• 16:38
  encouragement for people still advocating for like the number,
• 16:42
  the large number of people still in jail since September of.
• 16:44
  Last year. To being like, hey guys,
• 16:46
  pressure works, keep it up, right?
• 16:48
  Yes, definitely. Well, there's a lot of pressure
• 16:52
  going into the court rulings for these four, especially since Del
• 16:56
  Pedro is of course, like a pretty notable figure in the,
• 16:59
  you know, NGO and. Activism space.
• 17:02
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but like, like you said,
• 17:04
  obviously just for your guys's information, these four are only
• 17:08
  a small fraction of the people that were arrested during last
• 17:11
  August's unrest. There were 6000 arrests.
• 17:14
  And I mean, like, funny enough, that's like 2000 less than the
• 17:19
  amount of troops that we pledged to the Board of Peace.
• 17:22
  So, you know, hey, small recruitment effort over here.
• 17:25
  Hey, 2000 more to go. And we got enough.
• 17:27
  So we still got a long way to go, fellas.
• 17:29
  Because as of February, 703 remain under illegal
• 17:33
  proceedings, with 348 charged under Article 170 of the
• 17:36
  Criminal Code for collective assault in public and 13
• 17:41
  activists are accused of acting as agent provocateurs.
• 17:46
  Rob A Couture. I had no idea that was a thing.
• 17:48
  I didn't know they were like. Yeah, that's crazy and there's a
• 17:51
  lot of people, there's a lot of people, a lot of arrests and so
• 17:53
  like small victories, but hopefully this leads to more.
• 17:58
  If you think that the people that are arrested, that's a lot
• 18:01
  because it is, it's a lot of people.
• 18:03
  A recently released independent investigation.
• 18:06
  By contrast, Yale Bihar EN the Jakarta Legal Aid Institute
• 18:09
  included that the state response to the August protests were both
• 18:14
  the largest suppression since the reform movement.
• 18:17
  Which is which is weird because I thought that the Reformation
• 18:21
  98 was supposed to solve this shit, guys.
• 18:23
  So it feels like it feels like we're back to square one right
• 18:25
  now. You want to know the reason why?
• 18:27
  It's because we didn't punish people the right way.
• 18:29
  When we when, when, when, when that whole reformacy happened, A
• 18:32
  lot of people who were a lot of people who were complicit or
• 18:36
  were enacting these, let's call them human rights violations and
• 18:42
  crimes, if you will. If, if, if you will.
• 18:45
  Yeah. Who were in power at the time,
• 18:47
  continue to be in power to this very day or continue to be.
• 18:52
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 18:53
  It was a very short holiday for them.
• 18:56
  And. And.
• 18:56
  And they never really were given.
• 18:59
  They were handed out punishment for these sorts of things.
• 19:01
  And so of course, old habits die hard, especially for people who
• 19:05
  are known for being extremely stubborn in their approach to
• 19:11
  governance and so. It's almost like, yeah, if your
• 19:15
  actions have no consequences, you have no incentive to change
• 19:19
  your actions. Exactly.
• 19:21
  Wow. Human behavior.
• 19:23
  That's insane, really. These people need to take psych
• 19:26
  one O 1 before I lose my God damn mind.
• 19:28
  Yeah, yeah, anyways. I doubt that'll help.
• 19:32
  There's, there's a whole thing as well about how like, because
• 19:35
  they all had guns, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna name any
• 19:37
  names here, but because they all had guns like Parliament.
• 19:40
  And like the group of people. And like and like the new
• 19:43
  president like did not have the weren't were were were were were
• 19:47
  somewhat afraid of prosecuting these people for their crimes
• 19:53
  pre reformacy. Right, like the Second Amendment
• 19:56
  that the states had now makes it clearer as we've begun to
• 20:01
  experience more and more fascism.
• 20:04
  They might have. They might be.
• 20:05
  They might be cooking with that one.
• 20:06
  Yeah. Yeah, they might have.
• 20:07
  Cooking with that one. We might need a second event by
• 20:09
  ourselves. Actually, I don't know if I
• 20:10
  don't know if are we allowed to say that.
• 20:12
  It's an opinion, you know, it is an opinion.
• 20:14
  It is an opinion. We're not.
• 20:15
  Inciting violence? We shouldn't say.
• 20:17
  We're not saying. Maybe the undang undang that
• 20:20
  says that I cannot have an opinion.
• 20:21
  That's true. I don't think there is.
• 20:24
  I think we're good. Yeah, we're good.
• 20:26
  We're good. We're we're completely in the
• 20:27
  clear. We, we, I, I want to own guns
• 20:30
  for the sake of owning guns anyway.
• 20:32
  Like I'm a Southern boy. He just wanna have guns.
• 20:34
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just have them on hand.
• 20:36
  Wanna have a big gun rack in your?
• 20:38
  Room oh bro. Gun safe.
• 20:40
  A gun safe, a gun safe. That's that's the that's the
• 20:42
  right way to store guns. Exactly.
• 20:44
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 20:44
  You have to do this right. You have to do this.
• 20:45
  Right, exactly. I want, I want them 55 sixes.
• 20:48
  I want the 76 twos. I want the 50 cows bro, you
• 20:53
  know? Are you?
• 20:54
  Are you are you a 11 inch barrel man or a 14 inch barrel man?
• 20:57
  Oh man, I love them small. I want I love 11 inch.
• 21:00
  Low and small just. Because just because they're
• 21:03
  easier to handle. You know, yeah.
• 21:05
  They're 14 inches. It's good on the grip.
• 21:07
  It's. Good on.
• 21:08
  It's good on the grip. Yeah, easier to grip.
• 21:09
  Easier to grip. Yeah, much easier to grip.
• 21:12
  But the 14 inches, man, they're too big.
• 21:13
  They're too long. Too big, man.
• 21:15
  Yeah, and and a bit too swingingy.
• 21:17
  Yeah, yeah. Got it, Got it.
• 21:18
  You. Want to have a?
• 21:19
  You want to have a bit of a. We we also have flexibility.
• 21:22
  Exactly. You really Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 21:24
  Although although with, you know, with the longer the barrel
• 21:26
  you go, you know 16 barrel you're talking about like way
• 21:29
  higher penetration power. That's true.
• 21:30
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Way higher penetration power and
• 21:33
  longer range as well. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:36
  Longer range you you really want to like reach out there and like
• 21:38
  just hit your targets. Yeah, a real measuring contest
• 21:43
  going really is to my right here folks.
• 21:47
  Anyway, we're going back to the good news.
• 21:49
  This is this is this is good news, right?
• 21:51
  And I did say that this was the District Court.
• 21:54
  So technically there there is, there still exists A pathway to
• 22:00
  appeal this decision. But with that said, the
• 22:04
  coordinating law, human rights, immigration and the correctional
• 22:06
  services minister Yusrill is Mahindra has urged prosecutors
• 22:11
  to just take the L man, just just take it and just don't try
• 22:16
  to appeal this to a higher court.
• 22:17
  Don't don't try to find more reasons to like keep this case
• 22:21
  going because it feels like everyone's kind of like
• 22:23
  admitting now it's like, all right, we messed up, you guys
• 22:27
  can go which, yeah, man, they. Were in jail for a month.
• 22:31
  Let these fellows go. But yeah, like you said, keep in
• 22:33
  mind these guys, they're free now.
• 22:35
  They spent the last six months in a jail cell, basically.
• 22:39
  Yeah. Imagine all the things they
• 22:40
  could do in that time and they could have start a podcast.
• 22:43
  Yeah. And got 3000 followers on
• 22:44
  Instagram like hey. Actually, hang on, you know, you
• 22:47
  know the crazy thing, They're all men.
• 22:48
  We're men too, for some reason. All men.
• 22:50
  When they, when they, when they, when they come together, they're
• 22:53
  pretty sure come up. I'm pretty.
• 22:54
  Sure. When they're sitting in that
• 22:55
  jail cell together, the four of them, one of them at some point
• 22:58
  must have thought we got to we got to start a podcast.
• 23:01
  I swear if they do, I do I. Would go crazy.
• 23:03
  If they do, I look forward to to to watching it.
• 23:05
  Del Pedro, if you start a podcast based on your
• 23:07
  experiences in jail, please, you're welcome to come on our
• 23:11
  show or or we can come on your. Show.
• 23:13
  Yeah, that'd be good as ever, Yeah.
• 23:14
  Anyway, the hope is that this ruling becomes a legal
• 23:17
  president, which will be used for not all the the other August
• 23:21
  activists who are currently undergoing their own
• 23:23
  proceedings, but also for a future possible unrest which if
• 23:27
  the country is still heading towards the direction that is
• 23:29
  currently going, that is to say the gutter, we might see a lot
• 23:33
  more of. I just want to clarify, we're
• 23:34
  not, we're not, we're not, we're not.
• 23:36
  We're not civil law. We're common law.
• 23:38
  Yeah, yeah. Which means that president.
• 23:41
  Which means that president doesn't matter.
• 23:43
  I feel like they taught me this in college but I completely
• 23:45
  forgot I have to go. Check again.
• 23:46
  Let's. Just double check that.
• 23:48
  That is in the. Putting that good Atmajaya
• 23:50
  education to use. Yeah, you're doing.
• 23:53
  Yeah, you're doing Shout. Out if specifically for Aria.
• 23:57
  If you were, if you were, if this was, if you were like in
• 24:00
  school in 98 or during, you know, the any, any sort of
• 24:04
  tumultuous time, you probably would have been like in the
• 24:06
  front lines, like freaking, you know, rioting, not rioting, but
• 24:10
  bro. Forget 90, I feel like 2019 Atma
• 24:13
  Jaya was sort of they were they were on there the for the
• 24:15
  forward. Were you there?
• 24:16
  Yeah. Were you there?
• 24:17
  Were you in the protest? I was in the office.
• 24:19
  Oh what? Well, you were working already.
• 24:21
  Across the street from your university.
• 24:23
  I was, I was at the, I literally remember 2019 during the during
• 24:26
  the riots, I was at the office working.
• 24:30
  Oh, so apparently Indonesia does take into account legal
• 24:32
  precedent. It does, yes.
• 24:33
  When you're in the same binding manner.
• 24:34
  I'm just reading Google right now.
• 24:35
  As common law systems, as a civil law country.
• 24:38
  Here we go. You're gonna learn something new
• 24:40
  here, folks. Indonesia's legal system
• 24:43
  primarily relies on written statutes.
• 24:45
  Yeah, there you go. I do recall this.
• 24:49
  I think like. It's persuasive, legal, not
• 24:51
  binding. Persuasive.
• 24:52
  It's not binding, but they often consider the Supreme Court
• 24:55
  decisions jurisprudency, as you know, that's more binding, I
• 24:59
  guess. Don't quote me on that.
• 25:02
  I mean. Speaking of precedents, isn't
• 25:04
  there also a president that for example with like this is not
• 25:07
  completely the same, but with the Lou Hood and Faris Azar
• 25:11
  case, which also finally also sprung out of a podcast?
• 25:16
  Like once they were acquitted of their crimes, the court, the
• 25:22
  prosecutor on behalf of Lou Hood re sorry, appeal to the court to
• 25:27
  have them prosecuted once more. And that dragged the case on for
• 25:29
  like an additional like 8 or 9 months, right?
• 25:33
  Honestly, what a baby. Yeah.
• 25:36
  So like I feel like there is also the risk of like after the
• 25:42
  acquittal, after they've been let go there.
• 25:43
  It's possible that the prosecutor want, if the
• 25:45
  prosecutor wishes to the appeal the case, it's possible this
• 25:49
  case might drag on. Yeah, yeah, that's what that's
• 25:53
  what the minister was saying. He was addressing directly the
• 25:58
  prosecutors. They're like guys.
• 25:59
  Stop it, stop you're just gonna it's not worse they would have
• 26:03
  just embarrassed themselves when they've.
• 26:04
  He because ultimately in the hood Paris Azar case, they also
• 26:08
  the appeal also did not pass. Right, there you go.
• 26:10
  Yeah, it was a waste of everyone's time.
• 26:13
  Yesterday, wasting our time in our fucking tax paid dollars.
• 26:17
  Dollars taxpayed rupees. Yeah, all the taxpayer rupee
• 26:20
  that could have gone to MBG man. Yeah, bro, could have actually.
• 26:24
  Ended properly, could have cooked all those catfish, but
• 26:26
  you know you decided to forget. Give it a raw catfish.
• 26:29
  Delicious, all that. You just need to cook it at
• 26:31
  home. Man, Yeah, bro.
• 26:32
  No, no, no. You cook it at home.
• 26:34
  Don't forget. You don't even need to.
• 26:36
  You don't even need to cut off. It's it's, it's, it's twiskers.
• 26:39
  You can just yeah, yeah, lick it, lick it a lot of.
• 26:42
  Crispy Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum What's?
• 26:44
  Fucked up is that they put the raw catfish in with all the rest
• 26:46
  of the I know and it's spoiled the raw.
• 26:49
  Oh my God, of course it did, was why would it not?
• 26:51
  We're kind of getting off track, boys.
• 26:53
  Let's move on to Internet news, Daniel, I believe.
• 26:55
  Let's go to the Internet. Let's go Internet news and.
• 26:58
  Hopefully better than last week's Internet news, which took
• 27:01
  us down a very, very dark corner.
• 27:03
  Slightly lighter corner of the Internet today.
• 27:06
  Let's go online today. Today, or rather this week's
• 27:08
  Internet news, is that the government has planned to
• 27:10
  restrict kids from kids under 16 from using or having social
• 27:16
  media accounts starting the 2018 March.
• 27:20
  Fuck them kids. Oh no, unfortunately, or rather,
• 27:24
  I don't know. Fortunately, at this point, the
• 27:26
  government hasn't really come up with the technical details or
• 27:29
  the policy plan for implementing this.
• 27:30
  We'll get there. We'll get there.
• 27:32
  It's just. One in a long list of countries
• 27:34
  to emerge with social media age restriction plans, right?
• 27:37
  In addition to the real policy problem of having to apply this
• 27:40
  ban to like 10s of millions of users, watchdog organizations
• 27:44
  are also pointing out how this ban will actually make it more
• 27:47
  difficult for the young people of this country to access and
• 27:50
  distribute information. And that's got me wondering,
• 27:54
  boys, I wonder why would the government want to limit the
• 27:57
  flow of information these days? Hey man, I got no idea.
• 28:01
  Listen, I got I got a better We should we shouldn't be talking
• 28:04
  about this. You know, we should be talking
• 28:05
  about this. We should be talking about open
• 28:06
  a kitchen for ambiguity. You do, you know they they.
• 28:11
  Money you can get out. They make so much.
• 28:13
  Money you can get. Out and it's a shame.
• 28:15
  It would be a shame if the kids stopped talking about that.
• 28:17
  It'd be great because that way we they, they don't have to go
• 28:20
  online to. Look for information about
• 28:22
  Mahanan Burghizi Grates not. Only that they don't have to.
• 28:24
  They they can no longer share their information or, or
• 28:27
  whatever experience they've had about Mahan Burghizi grates.
• 28:29
  Yeah. If I'm being parilled, though,
• 28:31
  like what a kid 16 years and under what, what are they
• 28:36
  looking up for? What are what are they looking
• 28:38
  at looking up down there in the in the in the Internet?
• 28:41
  Well, I don't know. That's a good point.
• 28:43
  Well. According to the research that
• 28:44
  I've done, it's mostly to just use social media to like talk to
• 28:47
  other people, but also roughly 30%, twenty, 7% I believe was
• 28:53
  the number are using them for educational purposes, while the
• 28:55
  60% are using it for social media and, you know, just
• 28:59
  spending time on like all these platforms.
• 29:01
  This this has been a recurring thing that the Indonesian
• 29:04
  government has tried to do for a long time, OK just curbing, you
• 29:08
  know, freedom of access, like wide Open Access to the
• 29:12
  Internet. They've done this when when,
• 29:14
  when we were teenagers, when they blocked Reddit and like,
• 29:17
  and they had the Internet say hot.
• 29:21
  They're positive. Yeah.
• 29:21
  And they're positive. This is this has been a thing
• 29:24
  that's been happening ad continuum like continuously, ad
• 29:29
  nauseam. They kept, they keep trying to
• 29:31
  do this and they keep failing. Yeah.
• 29:33
  Yeah. Because this is the one time I
• 29:35
  feel like the incompetency of the Indonesia's government comes
• 29:39
  to our favor. Yeah, because I can.
• 29:42
  I can be. I can.
• 29:44
  I can rest easy in knowing that whatever measures they put in
• 29:46
  place, we can very easily bypass.
• 29:48
  Mm, hmm. Yeah, VPN's, yeah, I got to pick
• 29:51
  up. The PNS is in there, man.
• 29:52
  There you go. There you go.
• 29:53
  Yeah, I mean, like elementary middle Education Minister
• 29:56
  Abdulmuti has raised concerns about excessive gadget use,
• 29:59
  saying that this is a barrier to deep thinking, problem solving
• 30:03
  skills. And he also pointed out and
• 30:06
  called out scroll culture which results in superficial youths,
• 30:11
  which is funny because how can the government officials say
• 30:14
  that social media is causing youths damage to their education
• 30:18
  when most of the times like 90% of the times in fact, like most
• 30:22
  of the fake news I get are from like Om and Tanta Tanta on like
• 30:25
  my WhatsApp groups re sharing stories that are.
• 30:28
  It's so fucking true and very clearly made by artificial
• 30:31
  intelligence. Yeah, there you go.
• 30:32
  It's gotten so much worse now with.
• 30:34
  Really I. Feel so sorry for my
• 30:37
  grandparents man. And they think the kids are the
• 30:40
  ones who should be wary. Every.
• 30:43
  Single. Time something goes wrong on the
• 30:45
  Internet. Yeah, every single time
• 30:47
  something goes wrong with the Internet, it's just like we
• 30:49
  shift back to like, let's blame kids these days all over.
• 30:53
  There you go. Sometimes we do that too.
• 30:54
  No, we do that as well apparently.
• 30:56
  It is tempting. Right.
• 30:58
  It is tempting. It is something, yeah.
• 30:59
  Well, the thing about it is like what is the government actually
• 31:02
  doing about like the deeply intrusive way tech platforms
• 31:05
  farmers for data that they can like resell to other countries
• 31:08
  or to add or big corporations, right?
• 31:10
  What is the government actually doing to like, beef up our
• 31:13
  school curriculums to actually help kids develop critical
• 31:17
  thinking and haven't good educational base so that they
• 31:19
  don't fall for this thing? Why is it once again our fault?
• 31:24
  Well, let me tell you once, let me let me tell you on that very
• 31:26
  first point, we actually just very recently signed a trade
• 31:28
  agreement with the United States.
• 31:30
  Oh God, that would allow sell our data exactly sell, sell our
• 31:35
  data to governments in the United States.
• 31:38
  By the way, there's one thing that people really gloss over
• 31:41
  with that with that with that trade agreement and this this
• 31:43
  doesn't have to do with social media as well.
• 31:45
  What was that in that, in that a specific trade agreement, There
• 31:49
  is a clause, I don't remember exactly which article it is, but
• 31:51
  there is a clause which states that Indonesian media
• 31:54
  organizations and Indonesian news companies cannot, cannot
• 32:01
  request for profit sharing schemes or create profit sharing
• 32:06
  schemes or even, you know, how do you say or even demand profit
• 32:15
  sharing schemes from social media companies?
• 32:19
  Profit sharing schemes like like ads, like, like ad revenue.
• 32:23
  Yeah, that's us. Yeah, that's us.
• 32:25
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're kneecapping us, man.
• 32:27
  They really are. Yeah, so where's the money
• 32:29
  going? Exactly.
• 32:31
  You're telling me? Yeah.
• 32:32
  I wonder where all the money is going.
• 32:34
  Look at all the That's a massive slap in the face.
• 32:36
  You're using basically kind of the people, media companies or
• 32:40
  even smaller creators like us who are in like YouTube.
• 32:45
  No, technically the the the the the the the the the actual like
• 32:48
  the actual wording for it yeah is that the Indonesian
• 32:51
  government cannot create a legal cannot create a legal framework
• 32:56
  that wood Forest American social media companies to to to to take
• 33:01
  part in profit. Share.
• 33:02
  Basically it's up to them. Like you, like Google can just
• 33:05
  say like, no, I'm not giving you any of the ad money.
• 33:07
  Yeah, exactly. It's up to.
• 33:09
  Just like all hands off, it's up to them, yeah.
• 33:11
  Jesus, I know we're doing great as a nation.
• 33:13
  Google, please. Hey government, well done.
• 33:16
  Great job in negotiating that pay agreement.
• 33:18
  Well done. So proud of you.
• 33:20
  Hey, it's not, I know it's not like we, we totally normal folks
• 33:24
  rely that much. That's a really neat point that
• 33:26
  we really are. So this doesn't affect us.
• 33:28
  This will impact our income from zero to zero.
• 33:32
  Damn. Maybe even negative.
• 33:34
  We're dipping into negatives. Yeah, yeah.
• 33:35
  But you know what the with the thing with the Indonesian
• 33:38
  government and also like their approach to tech, I feel like, I
• 33:44
  feel like they at at times they can kind of like come at it.
• 33:49
  They have, they have a good idea for it or like they come at it
• 33:53
  with good intentions. I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, I'm
• 33:55
  going best case scenario here. Good intentions, you know, like,
• 33:57
  sure, you want to like get kids to stop bed rotting and like,
• 34:03
  like filling their, their, their heads with like mind numbing
• 34:07
  content, sure. But like, they always approach
• 34:09
  it in the most boneheaded way. Yeah.
• 34:11
  No, yeah. Like this doesn't address the
• 34:13
  issue and in fact it makes things worse on multiple
• 34:16
  different facets. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 34:19
  And like, yeah. And, and that's my problem with
• 34:21
  it, right? Like obviously children's safety
• 34:23
  is at the front for the battle of free and accessible Internet
• 34:25
  for everybody. But this just feels how this
• 34:28
  just feels super performative given that like most of the
• 34:32
  world's governments let a paedophile run around the entire
• 34:35
  world flying kids around for like 2 decades and basically
• 34:38
  nothing, right? Like how is the government even
• 34:41
  like considering like solving this problem, right?
• 34:45
  Because one of the articles I read said that like the
• 34:47
  government's first like idea or like their, one of their biggest
• 34:50
  problems they're trying to solve right now is how do we
• 34:53
  incentivize regional governments to like actually follow the
• 34:56
  regulations. They're thinking of setting up
• 34:59
  reward systems for local governments so that they can
• 35:01
  compete with other regions to like.
• 35:04
  That's really strange though, isn't it?
• 35:05
  It's going. To be really, That's going to be
• 35:06
  really bad, yeah. They're going like, hey, how do
• 35:10
  we reward you? Give you an extra reward for
• 35:13
  doing your first job in the fucking place.
• 35:15
  I know. That's like the that's like how
• 35:17
  they incentivize ICE agents to make arrests.
• 35:19
  I know you're just gonna make make them like try and figure
• 35:22
  out a ways to just get more arrest bro like. $40,000 a year.
• 35:26
  Getting them addicted to the cash, Yeah, insane.
• 35:29
  Not a good way, not not a good policy.
• 35:31
  Wow, gonna be implemented horrifically.
• 35:34
  At this point, I have so little faith in this administration and
• 35:38
  I have very, very little faith that any of this sort of policy
• 35:41
  is going to be implemented. Well, right, Cuz we got what we
• 35:43
  got VPNs, we got, we got the are you above 18?
• 35:49
  Just click yes. Because what are they gonna do?
• 35:52
  What are they gonna do? Ask you to put in your Kate PE.
• 35:54
  Kids don't have Kate PE. So there's no way to like what
• 35:56
  are you gonna put in your Kaka information?
• 35:59
  I'm sure all that information is gonna be stored in a safe place,
• 36:01
  right? Like.
• 36:02
  About that, actually, yeah. I just want to say that if you
• 36:05
  were a kid and you're under 16 and you, you're met with that
• 36:09
  warning message, if you were anything like me, you'd be kind
• 36:12
  of, oh, shit, no way they're gonna figure me out, you know,
• 36:16
  No. So I would actually, they would
• 36:17
  actually kind of deter me. If you were a dumb kid under 16,
• 36:21
  that would probably might be effective, but obviously that's
• 36:24
  not gonna fit. Like it's not gonna fit all the
• 36:26
  kids out there who are somewhat smarter.
• 36:29
  And not to also mention that, like, kids these days are just
• 36:31
  normalized. Like, how is the government
• 36:33
  gonna know? And like, yeah, I mean, like,
• 36:34
  you know, it's like, it used to be like, like 2 years ago,
• 36:38
  people not even like, yeah, maybe like five years ago.
• 36:40
  People are really paranoid about having webcams on your laptop
• 36:42
  now. Kids these days, just like they
• 36:44
  have cameras on their phones and they go to bed with that.
• 36:47
  Super chill. I mean, who hasn't gone to bed
• 36:49
  with a real straight up looking in their?
• 36:52
  Face. We've kind of moved past the era
• 36:54
  of like NSA, Edward Snowden, everyone's looking at you all
• 36:58
  the time because we kind of just accepted, yeah, everyone is
• 37:01
  looking. At me all the time, yeah.
• 37:03
  None of us have tape over our webcams.
• 37:05
  No. Did you used to have tape?
• 37:06
  I used to have. Tape over my webcams.
• 37:08
  Yeah, for sure. Because I was like, damn.
• 37:10
  Fucking I don't want them. Looking at me when I'm dragging
• 37:13
  off. Yeah, I feel like we finally,
• 37:16
  like, our generation has finally reached the level of apathy of
• 37:19
  like, yeah, what the fuck? Am I going to just accept it?
• 37:21
  Right. Because like, like, yeah, like,
• 37:23
  hear me out, folks. I feel like I've like heard this
• 37:25
  story before. Like there's a big societal
• 37:27
  problem that the government needs to tackle.
• 37:30
  And it's mainly driven by a large billion dollar corporation
• 37:34
  somewhere in Silicon Valley. And so the government's best
• 37:37
  solution to that is to make it once again our problems.
• 37:41
  That's fantastic. It's classic.
• 37:43
  Yeah, it's classic, isn't? It I feel like we've just grown
• 37:46
  apathetic because like, you know, I feel like somewhere
• 37:49
  along the line there's like, hey, guys, you know, like get
• 37:51
  off of social media, touch some grass and I'm like, guys, guys,
• 37:55
  what the fuck are we supposed to do when there's no grass left to
• 37:57
  touch? Oh yeah, I guess we just keep
• 38:00
  ourselves busy. Where'd all the grass go?
• 38:02
  Bro mindlessly scrolling on Instagram and TikTok until we
• 38:05
  feel some level of the level of a spark in our bed.
• 38:09
  Sure, I can probably just go outside.
• 38:11
  It's not like it's going to incur additional costs.
• 38:12
  It's not like I have to like pay for transportation and food and
• 38:18
  like I can just go to the easily accessible, just the right
• 38:23
  around the corner library that I have.
• 38:24
  Oh, wait a second. We do not have any Also, I just
• 38:28
  want to point something out about about about the whole like
• 38:32
  social media panic. We need to save our kids ordeal,
• 38:35
  you know, because we've had already studies two major
• 38:40
  studies featuring not featuring but.
• 38:43
  Dissecting. No, I was going to say featuring
• 38:46
  or or or testing 125,000 kids that have shown that kids who
• 38:52
  use social media moderately have the best outcomes, whereas kids
• 38:56
  who are I who are either never on social media or always on
• 39:00
  social media tend to have symptoms of mental health.
• 39:06
  What do we call it? Decline.
• 39:10
  Yeah, issues with issues with mental health, basically.
• 39:12
  That's why we're all so mentally healthy.
• 39:13
  Right, but what I'm saying is. Because we're on that shit 24/7.
• 39:16
  What I'm saying is this, it's a, it's a, it's a relationship,
• 39:19
  right? It's a, it's AU shaped
• 39:21
  relationship. But it doesn't mean that one is
• 39:23
  caused by the other. It doesn't mean that it doesn't
• 39:26
  mean that social media causes mental health issues.
• 39:28
  In fact, On the contrary. Another major study done by the
• 39:32
  University of Manchester titled how do social media use, gaming
• 39:36
  frequency and internalizing symptoms predict each other over
• 39:40
  time in early to middle adolescence, with internalizing
• 39:43
  symptoms meaning symptoms of mental health issues.
• 39:48
  The results found that there was no evidence that time spent on
• 39:53
  social media or gaming frequency predicted later symptoms in
• 39:58
  mental health issues or symptoms in, you know, mental health
• 40:01
  issues amongst. Either boys or girls.
• 40:04
  That makes sense. Yeah.
• 40:06
  Because. Yeah.
• 40:06
  Because that was me. Yeah.
• 40:09
  That was me in middle school. I.
• 40:10
  Have evidence? That the study is successful.
• 40:13
  I'd wake up at like 3:00 AM before school and play hours on.
• 40:16
  Video games video and. Look at me.
• 40:19
  The picture of health. Yeah, the picture of mental
• 40:23
  health. And I just wanna, I just wanna
• 40:24
  hammer this down. The findings of this study do
• 40:27
  not support the widely held view that adolescent technology use
• 40:32
  is a major causal factor in their mental health
• 40:35
  difficulties. You know what is a war?
• 40:39
  Really bad governance. Yeah.
• 40:41
  Rising prices. You know, you know what is it's
• 40:44
  it's a big. Cooked fish.
• 40:47
  Yeah, I think if you, if I think if you eat ate raw Lily, that
• 40:50
  would be very that was that would be a very big, big impact.
• 40:54
  How about how about an AI that allows that allows people to
• 40:58
  make up weird inappropriate images of me online?
• 41:01
  There you. Go.
• 41:03
  I can't imagine. Yeah, damn.
• 41:08
  What? Anyways, insane.
