Gray Area LIVE #31: BREAKING: Epstein Explosion - TPUSA Civil War!

Rex Jones and Tim Tompkins dissect the 2020 Epstein file "smoking gun" revelations, critiquing DOJ redactions—including $6B+ in unsealed but later removed documents—and JD Vance’s "kabuki theater" response to Charlie Kirk’s death. They link Epstein’s crimes to systemic corruption, like California’s $24B homelessness spending, and contrast it with AI-driven retail exploitation (e.g., Instacart’s dynamic pricing). Callers allege Trump’s ties to Epstein, including a 13-year-old Doe encounter at Mar-a-Lago, though hosts question authenticity. The episode ends by promoting Primal Core supplements—zinc, boron, ashwagandha—as solutions for modern health and economic erosion, urging listeners to support the show while questioning conservative movement integrity amid shifting priorities.

rex jones
Evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Gray Area Live episode 31.
We're very happy to be here with you tonight, and we appreciate all of y'all here showing up for the show again and again and again, like every time.
It's a dream come true.
And we've got a ton of fascinating stories and news to go through.
We've got a bunch of crazy clips as usual.
And then Tim's got a great prepared segment that we're going to get into.
tim tompkins
Dynamic pricing, guys.
rex jones
Yeah, dynamic pricing, probably after like the first hour at some point.
And then we're going to go and take your calls.
So it's going to be an exciting show tonight.
We look forward to doing it with you.
And just like, what's on your mind, Tim?
Like, how much news have you been consuming?
tim tompkins
I'm most excited about the Epstein stuff, man.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
I got to say, I will not let this die.
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
We will not let this die.
We may keep talking about you may black out every single screen, but we will not let this die.
rex jones
Well, there's a lot they didn't black out.
And that's what you were showing me.
And I was like, I've never seen this.
tim tompkins
This was this, that, that, uh, this thing that I'm going to pull up actually was from 2020.
I'm like, how the hell did I never see this in my lifetime?
Even though this was the smoking gun for me.
rex jones
Well, the thing is, you know, it's kind of a shared topic with like, I want to get into some like turning point USA drama first, but it kind of marries with this topic as well from the perspective of people look at it and go, oh, you're not supposed to talk about Trump like that.
Or you're not supposed to talk about these people.
These people are holy.
And it's just like, well, like, there's a lot of like data information on like these people and like what they have done.
And it's not like a sacred cow.
Like people.
Don't you think they like worship the politicians and like the figures?
tim tompkins
They're the grown-ups in the room, apparently.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
You know, that's what that's the most childish.
And isn't that you just trust that they're grown-ups making grown decisions, you know, Bill Clinton with his hands back and who knows what's happening under the water.
rex jones
Yeah, that's crazy.
We'll go to that.
tim tompkins
Grown-up activity, man.
Grown-up activity.
rex jones
I mean, and that's the thing is like, oh, like I'm Kash Patel.
I run the FBI.
Redact, redact, redact, redact.
And then they release it and they release it like as it's some sort of victory.
And Rokana and Massey, they're mad about it and they're suing for more to be released.
unidentified
Oh, 100%.
tim tompkins
I want to be part of a lawsuit, man.
This is crazy.
rex jones
I think, you know what?
If the American people are motivated enough for like the next couple political cycles about not letting this die, you know, I think it would be well, I think it would be interesting for like someone like, you know, let's say, God forbid or whatever, a newsome wins and then just out of spite, he releases it like on everybody, right?
I think that this political powder keg is tied up in a lot of like the old power factions that were set up in this scheme.
And I think eventually, kind of like everything else, it'll age out.
And like, oh, like in like 20 years or 10 years when Trump is dead, but like we'll, we'll eventually, I have a lot more hope in knowing the truth about this than like the JFK stuff because that's like into the ether way back when they didn't really have, they didn't have cameras.
tim tompkins
But where's the justice if these guys are already dead?
You know, I well, that's that's like Bill Clinton should see his day.
rex jones
You know, that's, that's the boomer gambit, right?
It's, it's take advantage of the great situation you were given and then just run it until the fucking wheels come off, right?
And just be like, I'm going to make it to the grave before the consequences of destroying the planet and destroying the people catch up to me.
tim tompkins
That's all they're trying to do is buy themselves sometime because Bill Clinton looks old as hell.
rex jones
Yeah, they all do.
And it's, it's stress.
It's the evil.
I mean, it's all of it combined.
I mean, you look at these people and you're like, well, that's these are our elites.
Like we call them elites.
We call them leaders.
And it's not good.
They're all kind of burnt out.
But, you know, there is fire or I guess, you know, fire, you know, fire.
There's that kind of fire on the Republican side now.
And they're really turning since they're trying to use Charlie Kirk's death to ascend some sort of mega church political party.
tim tompkins
I'm so sick of it.
rex jones
Isn't it crazy?
unidentified
I'm like, dude, let the guy, let the guy rest in peace, man.
rex jones
And my thing is, if I'm looking at it, I think I have a unique perspective on this because, and I was thinking about this in the car today.
I by no means have run a massive organization like that, but I've seen day in and day out how it's done.
Not an organization that big, but you know what?
In the same kind of order of magnitude, you know, and four is maybe a 10.
They were a 10 at their maximum.
Maybe TP USA is like 150, but still I understand like high-level management.
And there is a way, like, yes, they were doing these big events.
They were doing these big events before Charlie died.
Charlie liked the events.
I even saw a thing where he said he liked the pyrotechnics, right?
So that in itself is not like, oh, like, look what they're doing to spit on the legacy or like use it or whatever.
That I can understand it, but it reaches a level to where it's should know better.
Even if, oh, Charlie liked the fireworks.
A man died three months or a little after that.
His wife run out here.
And now she owns the entire thing is running it.
And then criticize kind of like weird spiritual atmosphere around it, right?
like we're we'll go ahead and play this jd vance uh intro and what what's shocking about this guys is like it's it's bigger than wwe they have like a 50-foot door that he comes through it yeah it's just it's beyond anything so let me go ahead and try to share this here first one not the second one go ahead and share this video oops my bad all right my bad we're gonna rewind it a little bit but i mean like Tim, what's your opinion of stuff like this?
unidentified
Vice President.
tim tompkins
JD walked out.
unidentified
WWE superstar, JD Vance.
rex jones
Hot that spark.
He's gonna beat Old Hogan.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
It was like big old smile.
rex jones
Like, yeah, my husband's dead, but we're doing this.
You know what?
Maybe, you know, maybe she has to keep it up.
And I get that.
And I get keeping the organization alive.
And I think that's what Charlie would want too.
But ultimately, like, I'm not sure if I have the clip.
But I'm not sure if we have the clip, but JD Vance was officially endorsed by TP USA at this event.
Three years out in the 2020.
tim tompkins
Everybody knows who comes up next.
That was a layup.
rex jones
I guess.
You know, you say that.
And I just want to make the point.
Like, I disagree with you on that because this is a big shakeup.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
In the right wing.
tim tompkins
Who did you think would go in front of him?
rex jones
Well, here's the thing.
Miriam Adelson, when she gave Trump 100 or 200 million, whatever she did, she said, look, I want you to make Marco Rubio your vice president.
tim tompkins
All right.
rex jones
Marco Rubio is that's who they really want.
tim tompkins
I could see that, but they also have to go with who's popular.
I don't think a number of people know Marco Rubio versus the vice president.
rex jones
I don't know.
He won states in 2016.
But like, I believe he did.
He pulled very well.
He was in the top three.
He had a good run.
And he's a very serious political actor and he's married with the deep state.
Like all of it.
And JD, you could say the same thing about him, whatever.
But at the end of the day, I do view them as very distinct features for the Republican Party.
I do see both of them as being controlled, obviously.
But I think with JD Vance, you get more of the Palantir, like little tech people.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
But in general, you just look at the pattern of elections.
Typically, after a president's two terms, it's normally the vice president that they just do as a runner-up because of the shared vision policies, those types of things and exposure.
Because like Al Gore, you've got Biden that came into place.
I mean, I know it wasn't a one-for-one, but those situations typically do happen.
But I could see your point on this one.
rex jones
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I just view Rubio as someone like he's already using so much political capital.
Like he's the one waging the war in Venezuela.
He's the one pushing for all of the regime change down there because he wants it in Cuba and Colombia as well.
And I just, it's early in the game, right?
And we had that BS announcement from Trump where he came out and just said, like, I am the greatest.
I did all the cool stuff.
And we all thought we were going to war, right?
And it's going to still happen.
tim tompkins
It'll still happen.
rex jones
It's nice for the president to pump fake the entire nation, you know, just on a whim because he can.
This is why just like the politicians, like, they don't gotcha.
They don't, they just don't respect you at the end of the day.
The politicians don't respect you.
Let's go to this JD Vance clip.
And, you know, this is a very interesting clip.
In this clip, he's talking about being obsessed with the Charlie Kirk killing and like trying to figure out what happened.
And he gets into conspiracy theories.
He uses that government language, but he claims he was up all day and night trying to like rewatch the video, trying to find evidence.
And his wife came in and told him, what's what?
jd vance
I'll tell you something I haven't talked about publicly before, but in the days after Charlie's death, I struggled a great deal.
I'm sure many of you did too.
I remember watching every video of the assassination looking for clues trying to understand what happened.
I try to hide my friend and that terrible bullet hitting him, but I would try to look around.
I stayed up all night for many nights in a row researching every conspiracy theory, going down every rabbit hole.
My lovely wife told me to come to bed.
I told her I owed it to Charlie to try to uncover every stone.
rex jones
All right.
So is that all right?
unidentified
All right.
rex jones
You're the vice president and you have access to all the information.
Like literally, like you, you can call the head of the FBI and be like, what?
tim tompkins
What, what happened?
rex jones
But he's like, oh, I was, I was scrolling on Instagram and I was seeing Charlie Kirk montages and it made me sad.
And I was trying to figure out how he died that day.
And it's like, dude, you have access to the entire intelligence.
tim tompkins
You're literally at the same level as the president as far as like top secret clearances.
And you're sitting here telling me you can't just go to that.
That's exactly my thought.
rex jones
And this is why, and this is why this shit scares me even more than the Democrats, right?
Because the Democrats will come out.
It'll be like a fat white lady with purple hair.
It'll be like some sort of like a couple gay guys and they'll have kind of like a, you know, like a person of color or whatever.
You just kind of have like this group, right?
And they'll all have their own ideologies and they're all cooperating, but don't necessarily agree with each other on everything.
And it's kind of like diarrhea of the mouth, like point of personal privilege.
I would like to make a statement that like, go ahead because of my personal biases.
Like they, like, that's how they talk.
But at least for how drivable a programmed that is, at least that is actually how they operate.
This is like, this is like Hamlet or something.
tim tompkins
My pronouns.
My pronouns.
Yeah.
rex jones
Right.
But you see what I'm saying?
Like that at least is organic.
This is like a Shakespearean epic, right?
He comes out and he's like, and I had the dreams and I delved into the conspiracy theories and the research.
He's like, my wife came to me and told me she was worried.
tim tompkins
He's like, I haven't disclosed this publicly.
You probably should have kept it that way, man.
unidentified
Right.
Well, I mean, he's, he's saying it because I don't believe it.
rex jones
It's not real.
I don't believe that this happened.
I'm sorry.
Like, maybe he had questions or concerns.
I'm sure he called somebody, but this is done to signal that it's okay.
We have the person that did this.
This is over now.
The event happened.
It's so sad.
R.I.P. protect and give money to this organization forever.
And by the way, they endorsed me.
That's how I see this, right?
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
And like Charlie Kirk loved JD Vance.
Charlie Kirk was a big fan of JD Vance.
I'm not saying that it's anti-Charlie Kirk's wishes, but at least when Charlie Kirk got on a stage, he was pushing his agenda and his protocols.
They're pushing not, they're not, they're not pushing a political agenda here.
It is a, this is, how do I, how do I put this?
There's an artistic English term for this.
I'm trying to find it in my mind here.
They're trying to martyr him.
Well, well, they're, he's already martyred.
They're ascribing like moral debt to the rest of the world.
And then if you're a part of this, you're, you're good and you're holy, basically.
That's how I see it.
Right.
Because like, I'm, I'm in moral debt because my friend died and I didn't know what to do.
But then my wife came in and told me it's okay.
Like it's basically it's not my fault.
This is him saying it's not his fault.
That's that's how that's what I take away from this.
And maybe that's a little convoluted, but like at the end of the day, like, why are you obsessing over something like this?
If you're like, what could I have done to make this not happen?
Right.
tim tompkins
I mean, the best thing you can do, if you're him, you really care about how your friend died.
You use all of your ability to go and dig to the bottom of it.
That's very simple.
And if you have a true issue with whoever committed the act, now I'm not sitting here being like conspiracy theory, inside job, manipulation.
It's just like in a normal sense, say you have access to high-level authorities.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
You are the vice president.
Right.
Your best, not best friend, but your buddy dies that's really close for you.
Are you not using every resource you have possible to get to the bottom of this?
rex jones
No, of course.
And that's the thing.
It's just like, I've watched TV.
Like, I've watched a TV show.
Like, this is a TV show.
And it makes me sad that, you know, young people are able to instantly recognize something as kind of being a TV show as something being like kabuki theater.
That was the word I was looking for.
tim tompkins
Kabuki theater.
I've never heard that.
rex jones
Yeah, it's a Japanese expression, kabuki theater.
But the problem is now with Charlie Kirk dying and that being like so epic in so many young people's minds.
And like they looked up to this guy, like he was their hero.
Now he died.
They're now kind of receptive to like the like drink the Kool-Aid and we go up into the saucer type of you see what I'm saying?
tim tompkins
I agree with that.
Yeah.
rex jones
And I think that's what's being fed here because who is JD Vance?
JD Vance is a guy that changed his name three times.
JD is a one-term senator who got made vice president.
tim tompkins
He changed it three times.
rex jones
Yeah, I changed his name three times.
So like ultimately, I'm sure JD Vance is a fine person or whatever, but he's a person that is, he's not organic.
Like he's a GMO crop.
tim tompkins
I thought he was super organic on the Rogan, and then it's kind of like, I don't know.
I don't know if he's playing the, I don't know if he's playing chess for him.
rex jones
He's good at his job, man.
And that's what it takes.
It's like, this is, you have to kind of look at the president as kind of like the avatar for America.
tim tompkins
I agree.
rex jones
And like, they're trying to make it this.
And that's what this is all about right now.
And I'll play the clip out.
jd vance
So that's what I tried to do.
I remember I was consumed by this fear that Charlie's death wouldn't just deprive a family of their husband or of a good father, but that it would deny our movement of a great unifier of people and a great doer of great deeds.
It's the only time I can remember my wife ever telling me that she was really worried about me.
She told me it many times.
rex jones
It was the only time that his wife said that she was worried about him.
And then he says, How long has he been married?
tim tompkins
How long has he been married?
rex jones
He's got kids, so a long time.
tim tompkins
Long ass time.
And you're telling me that's the first conversation that you guys have ever had in which you guys have a chance to do it.
rex jones
It's literally they have a script writer and the scriptwriter is like, what's up?
tim tompkins
And they're like, oh, this is approved.
rex jones
Yeah.
tim tompkins
You can say this.
rex jones
Yeah, well, I think it's even beyond that.
I think, I think JD's like, yeah, that's good.
I like that.
They're having fun playing their parts.
And I mean, that's what a politician's job is anyway, especially in the U.S. is like you're a representative, right?
So like you're representing something.
And if that's not your people, then it's going to be something else.
You're still a representative, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Somebody asked, are we pro-Zionist?
rex jones
No, I am from Palestine.
I am way.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
Like he, he has more of a moderate opinion.
tim tompkins
I have a moderate.
rex jones
I would say.
tim tompkins
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
rex jones
But like, we, we consider the war crimes that have taken place in Gaza to be atrocious, and there have been many of those.
tim tompkins
Yeah, but I'm also, I'm not, I'm also not on the side of just being like, Israel's all bad and Jews should be like eradicated.
rex jones
They have a very high kill count.
No, that's that.
tim tompkins
All I'm saying is, is we, we, we lump the Jews around the world and conflate it with Jews in Israel.
And they're too I agree with that.
rex jones
Judaism is not Zionism.
tim tompkins
It's not the same.
rex jones
I agree, but I also, I also, like, I critique Jewish power and stuff.
And like, here's the thing.
Any group of people that has a bunch of influence is going to exert it.
tim tompkins
Right.
rex jones
Yeah.
And especially, here's the thing.
Here's the thing about Israel.
We don't need to get into this.
tim tompkins
Why do we always talk about Israel?
rex jones
We're going to do an hour on Israel.
Here's the thing about Israel.
Israel is an ethnostate.
All right.
Because being Jewish is both a religion and an ethnicity.
So if you're able to prove that you're Jewish, you get to go live in Israel.
It's called right of return.
They'll even, you'll get money to go start a settlement somewhere in the West Bank bank.
And I view that as illegal.
I view that as an old world system that we left.
And the excuse is America genocided with the Native Americans, colonial rule everywhere.
Why can't we just have one spot?
I say we don't exist in that paradigm anymore.
tim tompkins
Nah, nah, see, like that, that's where I have to push back.
Human evolution is still in play here and it is survival.
rex jones
But so just because they live in the dirt hut, it's the warfare, right?
tim tompkins
It's the warfare that has changed.
It is a little bit different now now that the world has pretty much been carved out and there's not really like it could be the most moral army in the world.
Who?
rex jones
Israel?
The IDF.
tim tompkins
Yeah, they're not, but I'm not going to sit there and die on that hill.
rex jones
And this is my thing.
And here's the thing where I'll come in because like we don't, we don't entirely disagree just on like grand scope of the world.
I like to say it like I don't believe in the Star Wars story, like of like the rebel and then like the evil oppressor.
Like everyone usually is bad in some respect and has done something to provoke some sort of conflict.
And that is how it is.
But you have to look at the disparity of force that's being used.
And like you don't get to shoot.
I believe the number when I looked at it in like August was like 12,850 people seriously injured going to the aid centers.
After they shut down the 400 UN aid centers they had, they built like four GHF ones that they controlled.
And there's essentially just kill lines.
People like CAP.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
And so like to preface what you're saying, I don't agree with, don't disagree with what you're saying there.
We did the same thing.
9-11 happens.
And then we go and do an entire like weapons of mass destruction.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
A lot of mess up in the Middle East.
Like the means of what happened during that event did not justify the outcome of the billions of dollars and the killing of a lot of innocent people.
rex jones
I'm trying to be ideologically consistent in the same way that I say I'm pro-life.
That means I want people to have housing and food.
I think that that makes sense and that's normal.
We also, it's just like, my position is I don't want any more wars.
And if the United States is the greatest country on earth, then we should be stopping wars and making peace everywhere all the time instead of creating wars and creating conflict all the time.
And I kind of see Israel as the ultimate example of us like spending money on a good thing that is like not a good thing.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
And it's like a horrible thing, quite frank.
tim tompkins
The last thing I'll say on this is a lot of people are like, Israel owns the United States.
Okay, you can have that perspective.
rex jones
You got the call.
It's okay.
It's all right.
tim tompkins
Oh, dude, I didn't show you the picture of me in front of the menorah, like a big one, and just trying to get my $7,000 for the Christmas holidays.
rex jones
I knelt with Lynn Beck when he was on the TV when I was at the place trying to get that Mormon money.
tim tompkins
He kissed the wall, man.
rex jones
A digital wall.
tim tompkins
Digital wall.
rex jones
And I didn't kiss it.
I just touched it.
tim tompkins
But what I'm trying to say is we forget that the United States also hasn't operated in the shadow realm of just like we have people dirty laundry as well.
So we coattail on the fact that Israel has these wishes.
We coattail and add our own top of that.
That pulls our own narrative.
unidentified
Yeah, if that makes sense.
rex jones
And this is the thing.
And people don't have the high-level understanding.
And we'll go to the story here in a second.
But the reason why the Middle East is the way that it is is because historically over the past century, we fought really hard to keep Russia out of there.
And that's actually why the Ukraine war, like in large part, was fought as well, was enable or in order to deplete Russia's resources to the point where they couldn't back Syria or Lebanon anymore.
So when you have a high-level understanding of it and people get pissed off and they hear that, go, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, a thousand level thinking and whatever.
And they go, just like, shut up.
Like, you can't be telling the truth.
But you do have to know kind of the geopolitical history of an area to understand it.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
And like they call Afghanistan the place we spent 3 trillion in.
They call it the graveyard of empires for a reason.
What do you think of this story?
Tucker Carlson was named anti-Semite of the Year by the Jewish civil rights group.
I think it's the ADL that does it.
What do you think of that?
tim tompkins
Anti-Semite.
I think they're exaggerating.
rex jones
Well, whoever did this.
tim tompkins
No, he's not.
The only reason why they are doing this is a smear campaign.
These are typical playbooks.
These are things that you go, you throw that out there.
There's enough people that bite on it.
They let the narrative run, right?
Like civil rights group, very ambiguous.
Who the fuck are they?
Like, who are they to establish?
It's not like they're Kelly Blue Book giving the official stamp of approval.
And who's the other?
rex jones
Of course not.
It's just funny.
And I think this like, but I think this comes from the ADL or the SPLC, one of one of the two.
It's just funny that like these are organizations that get hundreds of millions in funding to go after people and try to deplatform people.
This is the company in part that got us taken off in 2018.
Like they, they, they do this kind of work.
tim tompkins
Right.
rex jones
But then here's what you get.
The American system, as imperfect as it is, with Trump being goofy and orange and retarded and all that.
In a place like Europe, they go by the guidelines of what these like civil rights organizations say sometimes for law.
No, you're right.
They'll throw people in jail.
And Australia, they just adopted, it's like the IIRC definition of anti-Semitism, which includes criticism of Israel.
tim tompkins
Yes.
rex jones
That's criminal offense.
tim tompkins
You actually hit the nail on the head with some of these things.
It's like you put it out there in the ether.
You spin the narrative enough to where even the people that run these organizations get not brainwashed, but they get influenced by the public opinion as well.
And that is part of the playbook there.
And for him to be critical of Israel and certain things does not mean that he's like, now I hate Jews.
Cause there's people that literally are like, of course, there's the Hitlers that will be like, yeah, Jewish banker, bad.
Let's go kill them all, X, Y, and Z.
I don't think anyone at that point who's criticizing Israel right now is like that.
rex jones
Well, my thing, you know, and this is why I like it.
I like it.
I'm a liberal now.
I got to say it.
tim tompkins
I like the idea.
rex jones
I like being a liberal.
tim tompkins
I'm not there.
I'm not there.
Yeah, you're there.
rex jones
I like treating everyone fairly through meritocracy.
I like free speech, unlimited free speech.
I like the ability to be genuinely pro-human and not selectively hang on or glow onto one group.
But I also like the ability to criticize any one group that is outside power and is doing outside things.
See, that's what being a classical liberal means to me: I have no limits on what I can question or criticize.
And then I'm open to considering everything.
We'll have a discussion about everything, but I will, I refuse to be hard right, hard left, this, that, the other thing.
I'm reclaiming liberal.
You know, I'm going to reclaim liberal.
tim tompkins
There's one thing Fuentes said.
Now, he said it in a different context where he was like, I'm tired of tags.
I think he was talking to Pierce about this.
I'm pretty sick and tired of like tags.
Like, cause there's, there's such nuances to like opinions that like you're trying to throw them in buckets that capture an entire population when there's like things that you will not fundamentally completely agree with.
Like you and I conflate on certain ideas around, I don't know, some politics, some policies.
And then we have maybe varying disagreements on things like gun control and those types of things.
rex jones
That's crazy.
It's crazy.
tim tompkins
You should be very ashamed.
No, but it's not.
It's not that I'm sitting here being like, oh, we need to.
unidentified
I understand.
rex jones
I understand.
Tim lusts for magazine restrictions.
He hungers for them.
You shouldn't do that.
We'll lose followers, actually.
No, but we gotta have fun on the show.
tim tompkins
No, it's it's uh it I said nuances to it.
So that's all it is.
It's really just when you see how you have to put yourself in the bucket and be like, I'm liberal, instead of just being like, these are the opinions I have.
rex jones
I'm being serious.
tim tompkins
No, I know you are.
rex jones
No, I know you are.
I'm being 100% serious.
tim tompkins
But I have to put it out there and be like, oh, I'm center right.
What the fuck does that?
rex jones
Right.
And that's what I'm saying.
Is like the, I like liberal because it's had a ton of different definitions over the years.
And I'll just reclaim like classical liberal.
Like, that's what my dad used to say.
And like before Trump, before any of this stuff, like he was, I'm a classical liberal.
tim tompkins
But it's like using the word gay, right?
Like there's connotations to it.
The original meaning of the word was happy.
Now it's like being gayness, you know?
But like liberal, I hear liberal now.
rex jones
I'm like, there's three meanings for it.
There's the old happy one or whatever.
There's the like offensive version of it.
And then there's the version of it calling something lame or just kind of.
tim tompkins
Yeah, that's a new one.
Yeah.
rex jones
Like, eh, right?
tim tompkins
Like, yeah, that's gay.
rex jones
Yeah.
Like, that's, oh, the computer broke for no reason.
That's fucking gay.
And people, I say that.
tim tompkins
So, like, but the true liberals would get upset at you.
rex jones
Well, no, no, and I wouldn't consider those people liberal because a liberal would be pro-free speech and they wouldn't, they wouldn't get upset.
They might not, they might disagree with me saying it or something, but they wouldn't try to restrict my ability.
Something that both the hard right and hard left are both trying to do.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
Do you see what I'm saying?
unidentified
Yes.
rex jones
And it really is.
And it's hard to say.
I'm definitely not a centrist in any sense of the word because centrist to me means that there are a lot of uninformed political opinions that you have.
And if you actually made up your mind, you'd be more extreme than you think.
Like you consider yourself to be center right.
Your gun policies are left.
tim tompkins
No, when I say, when I say center, this is why I said the bucket doesn't work.
It comes down to my, it comes to my fundamental ideology of I can't really say I'm truly like I'm conservative in some of my perspectives on some things.
And then other things would lean more towards that liberal side.
So I can't say I'm dead center because what the does dead center mean?
Like no one can truly have no opinion.
I have no right.
So like the only thing I can justify at that point was 2020 happened.
All this crazy stuff happened.
I used to be a Democrat.
I can clearly say now I'm like, well, I'm not riding the gravy train of like, we need to have like kitty litter boxes in the corner of the room for the transgender kids.
rex jones
It's a very interesting political transformation for you.
And I'll break it down because you went from being very much so like blue pilled as in like you like, would you have called yourself a Democrat per se?
tim tompkins
I mean, I'm black.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
That's like that's all I could fundamentally.
rex jones
There we go.
You're just like, I'm a guy that lives up north.
I'm black.
Like I identify with the Democrat Party.
I get like justifiably riled up by COVID and you're like, what the fuck is this?
And then you listen to them and you trust them.
And then one day you realize you break with it and you go, hey, like they're scamming me.
They're playing me.
So then you move away and you break from that system and then you're exploring these new political identities.
And then you see Trump and you're kind of like, oh, like that's, that's a little interesting.
tim tompkins
Yeah, like, exactly.
So, like, all right, this is the exact breakdown.
2016, I actually could have 2016.
Yeah, I could have voted in 2016.
I just turned 18, like a month before.
rex jones
You were a senior in high school and I was a freshman.
tim tompkins
At that point, I was like, you know what?
I don't really like this Trump guy.
Now I'm getting good vibes about him.
I don't want him in the office, but like, it wasn't really that big of a deal to me.
rex jones
You just didn't vote.
tim tompkins
I just didn't vote.
Right.
2020 happens.
I'm like, damn, I didn't like the job he did.
Biden came in.
I'm like, ooh, okay.
I liked Obama.
Let's go and see this go.
Biden voted for Biden goes in.
I didn't even vote for him either.
rex jones
I'm struggling to vote for Biden.
Mentally.
tim tompkins
Mentally, mentally, mentally out.
rex jones
Alex definitely got filled out for you.
tim tompkins
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Biden, Biden makes a mess too.
Then Trump gets in.
I'm like, Trump is running.
I'm like, oh, this guy will actually prevent World War III happening and stop all of these illegals coming in World War III.
rex jones
Day one, I don't even know the announcements.
That I'm sorry, I'm not trying to stop.
unidentified
No, no, keep going.
rex jones
Like, literally, I understand.
Like, that was what enthralled me: him saying stuff like, day one, I'm president-elect Putin will respond.
tim tompkins
It was the America first aspect.
And I was like, okay, I can kind of get behind that just a little bit because there are certain things that were happening that were not in my control.
And I was tired of seeing money go over.
rex jones
Where were you when you saw the assassination attempt?
tim tompkins
Uh, I was remembering, yes, I was sitting, I was actually doing a different show of my own.
Okay, uh, it didn't end up working out with that co-host.
I was just trying to figure things out.
I was just sitting in my podcast room and I saw the video pop up.
I'm like, all right, we got to go on air.
We got to cover this.
And at that point, I was like, oh, he won.
I saw the video.
rex jones
I was like, that's exactly what I thought too.
That's 100%.
Like, that was my first thing is like, holy shit, is he dead?
But then the second thing for me was when he did this, I was like, oh, yeah, he won.
And like, I did like a three-hour broadcast that night.
The energy was there.
Like, I told people to vote for him.
And it's something that I feel really iffy about now.
But I mean, like, in that moment, the whole country was behind.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
Right?
tim tompkins
So now we get to now, right?
And I would have said, okay, at that point, you could have considered me more conservative.
He got my black vote that he said, like, yeah, young black.
rex jones
Part of that big demographic swing.
Part of that demographic swing.
tim tompkins
Part of that silent majority of people who just were like, all right, I'm tired of the madness.
Now that he got in that first three months, it was like I got shell shock.
You know, I was like, the, I just got the Mario coins beat out of me.
And I was like, the abusive husband came in and just smacked me around.
And I was like, what?
rex jones
So you, you were, you, you were that disappointed from early on.
And I was too.
Why, what, what was it for you?
tim tompkins
Dude, it was fundamentally just the chaos of making like quick decisions.
And the tariff thing was the biggest thing for me.
unidentified
I'm like, what the what's going on with this policy?
tim tompkins
And then it became like it was really the tariff was like the biggest draw for me.
I was like, fundamentally, as a business owner, I know how these things work.
And you are making a mess out of the system.
And then, really, where it came in, and like people, New Guard is going to give me shit for this is when they started attacking countries like India.
And I was like, what the?
If you look at India fundamentally, they're a pretty neutral country.
They got no beef with anybody.
Right.
rex jones
And then we would need them if we're not going to need China.
You have to have someone to make someone.
tim tompkins
Someone.
Because I was like, India's before he got in.
I was like, India is the counter to China, and that is the safe bet for us to move our manufacturing.
And then we started giving them tariffs.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
I'm like, what the?
I want to get into this because it goes back to really Biden and Trump uniquely destroyed the global financial system and America's hegemony over it in a variety of very specific and then also very blunt ways, both like fine, chisel, and hammer to the point where now it no longer stands.
Biden, the thing that he did is he weaponized Swift, the thing that banks used to communicate with each other and send money.
He said, no more for the evil Russians and anyone that works with them.
So what do they do?
Bricks built their own.
tim tompkins
Take their money too.
rex jones
Russia had this pipeline going to Germany, giving the Germans cheap, affordable gas.
What happens?
The Ukrainians blow it up.
Oops.
Now you got to buy oil from us.
And then the story continues and continues and continues.
What were we just talking about?
tim tompkins
And then with India, we at that point, we asked them, we asked them to buy the oil from Russia in order to stabilize the prices after we blew up the pipeline because they were only importing 2% of oil and they jacked it all the way up to somewhere around like 30 something percent.
rex jones
So we're looking at America.
We're just going to blow up your pipeline.
Like, we're just going to do this.
tim tompkins
Just fine.
rex jones
And then these people come out and have the temerity to tell us they're doing a great job for the American people.
Like, you think about, we'll get into this with your prepared segment.
I'm not trying to just bounce around everywhere, but you think about the amounts of money that have been spent on like the military bases, the trillions in Afghanistan, Iraq, the billions it takes for us to keep our military in that sea off of Venezuela, all of it.
And you think about stuff at home, and we have been told our entire adult lives and really just our entire lives is like, oh, the government has like this big, bad, like kaiju Godzilla monster that it has to fight.
And it needs everything.
tim tompkins
It's all again just.
rex jones
It needs everything you can give it just to fight this evil imaginary monster.
It's a Star Wars story, literally.
It's like, we have to fight the bad things.
So you have to give us all power and all control.
And if things don't get better here, you got to keep in mind, like, we're working really hard for you.
If you don't, if you don't support us, the world's going to end.
And essentially, to make that self-fulfilling prophecy true, that's why we have all these wars going on.
It's because we're literally in a situation where instead of just purely being able to worry about the domestic things that affect Americans, we are forced to be worried about the things that are going on outside of our borders.
tim tompkins
And it's a very smart, and this is what fundamentally, fundamentally, a lot of that stuff is caused.
I wouldn't say exclusively, but a big portion of that comes down to resources and power.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
Like we had said in previous episodes, if we don't do it, we think our enemies are going to do it.
And we don't want to be like the cucks.
We don't want to be the cuck.
rex jones
That's what they're going to say.
tim tompkins
Right.
So at the same time, we've got business owners that's in their best interest for us to go into these places like the DCR, broker a deal, but then say, we're going to give you protection.
rex jones
That was smooth for me.
tim tompkins
Take your minerals.
Give me your money.
rex jones
Give me your gold.
Not bad.
tim tompkins
Right.
rex jones
Not bad.
And you know, I'm, and here's the thing.
I'm not entirely look.
tim tompkins
So that's why I can't say everything is bad.
rex jones
Predatory, advantageous, whatever you can say, like that.
That is a good deal.
Right.
And like, we do need those rare earth minerals.
But if you look at it in long term, just like the Ukraine, and people shit on me for this all the time, but like, why are the Russians not our friends?
tim tompkins
Why have we not to broker a long last because all of these people are alive during the Cold War?
Well, it's mental process of thinking that they're the enemy.
rex jones
I agree with that in America, but in Europe, it's a step beyond that, right?
In Europe, they are literally Napoleon, Hitler, everybody.
They tried to go in there and they lost their empires doing it.
It's a it's like a blood fixation, but they have to do it.
And if you look at the rhetoric from the EU people, not the EU people, but the EU leadership, they want blood.
Like we're getting ready to mobilize men and women.
tim tompkins
By the way, this is all new because if you look at the early 2000s, there was a push for Russia and the Western alliances.
There was a real good chance that there was going to be a real cooperation between all of those countries.
I don't know what happened.
Maybe I need to look more into that.
rex jones
What are you describing?
tim tompkins
Fundamentally, the United States and Russia had started a mass wave of deals in the early 2000s to cooperate.
It's some of the reasons why we did mutual attacks, combined attacks over in the Middle East, too.
If you think about that, we were literally fighting on the same side.
rex jones
Yeah, and you're talking about it.
And like relations now are as bad as they ever were in the Cold War.
Exactly.
And how did we get it?
tim tompkins
So there was a point at which Putin was saying amazing things about the United States.
And we were saying great, like Bush was like praising Putin.
rex jones
Now, I don't know what you got to keep in mind.
Where was Biden doing business?
He was doing business in the Ukraine.
You got to keep in mind the timeline.
So you got these early to mid-2000s business deals you're talking about.
We should definitely do a deep dive on that for sure.
And then you got 2014 that rolls around.
The Maidan coup goes down and the neo-Nazi government of Ukraine, like the far-right people, they get put in power.
And literally, guess who's there in Kiev when this is going down, like celebrating the victory?
Victoria Newland, and I believe John Brennan, or maybe not John Brennan, but one of those type of people, they were there celebrating it.
And it's because our intelligence community, as far as whatever the government wants, if the government wants to make money, I believe that we want to make deals.
The intelligence community, our real government, they come in and they say no.
tim tompkins
What happened during, do you know what happened during that Obama period where the Ukraine-Russia stuff really started kicking off?
Like, because I fundamentally don't know what caused that first round of invasions and conflicts along the way.
rex jones
Well, so what was going on in Russia was you have Donets, Luhansk and Kirson.
That's the Donbass region, right?
They like in the late 2000s, early 2010s, they had referendums and they said, look, you're not allowing us to go to court and speak Russian.
You're not allowing us to go to school and speak Russian.
You're not allowing us to go to court or talk to a cop and speak Russian.
We can't, we can't live like this.
Like we're going to leave.
And what did the Ukrainian government do in response to that?
It started launching munitions at them.
And they did that for almost a decade.
And this is why the Russians invaded.
And that is a stone cold fact, a stone-cold truth.
Okay.
That is, and who was that egged on by us?
tim tompkins
We told people that something in our best interest.
rex jones
You got to keep in mind, the country in Europe that has had the second most NATO exercises in this century, I believe it's 36.
I could be wrong about that number, is Ukraine, which is not a NATO country.
And it gets back to the thing to me as of like the Cuba Missile Crisis.
Like we wouldn't tolerate troops and weapons in Mexico, right?
Like we absolutely would not.
And I just, this is one of the things where both left and right, you can find people with a Gaza flag in their bio that are pro-Ukraine war.
You can find people with a Trump and like a 1776 flag that supports the war in Ukraine.
It's an issue that they've been able to fool everyone into supporting.
And like it's really monstrous.
And I'm not saying the Russians are like phenomenal or the best people on earth.
tim tompkins
It's just like they have a there's a reason why he's been infiltrated by the KGB.
rex jones
Well, there's a reason why there's a reason why the conflict happened, right?
And that's not what we're told.
We're told it's the big kaiju monster out in the ocean that we have to build the robot to fight.
tim tompkins
Yeah, it's it's all the forgotten history.
And that's why people are like, why do we keep going to the past?
Why do you keep talking?
And it's like, you know, fundamentally, if you go to the root of the past, you go to the root of the history, it gives you context to know why things started.
And here's the thing: a lot of these conflicts, guys, a ton of these conflicts are what we call negative feedback loops.
And a negative feedback loop is, I hurt you, you hurt me.
So I hurt you again.
And we keep doing that over and over again to where we don't even remember who started the whole thing.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
Right.
But fundamentally, with a lot of these conflicts, you can sit there and say, well, he started it.
She started it.
It doesn't matter.
It gets to a point where like some of these conflicts have been happening for almost decades and generations.
rex jones
Yeah, longer.
Centuries.
tim tompkins
Thousands of years.
It doesn't even fucking matter.
rex jones
Look at fucking Israel.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
So it's like, why?
It doesn't matter who started it.
What you got to do is you got to go to the new baseline.
rex jones
Everyone has the best case scenario we can make out of it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Exactly.
Everyone has to give up something in order for cooperation to work.
A compromise is good when both parties are un and people are not willing to compromise on either side.
And that is fundamentally one of the issues that's going on.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
And the United States is not getting on the right side of history behind some of these conflicts on how we're negotiating it.
rex jones
And you're talking about this.
You're talking about not knowing the history.
This is one of my favorite moments From the entire Ukraine-Russia saga, this is the Canadian parliament.
This is Justin Trudeau and a bunch of other people giving a medal and a standing ovation to a Ukrainian soldier, an old guy, who fought the Russians during World War II.
Now, who fought the Russians during World War II?
Nazis, the Nazis, and 13 EU countries were allied with the Nazis fighting the Soviets and the Americans during World War II.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
Oh, we all forget about that now.
Europe is like, we're all friends.
It's happy time.
And it's like all these countries are like a lot of them, some of them, a large percentage of them actually were a part of like the Axis powers, right?
Like Ukraine is one of those examples.
So I want to play this clip for you.
This is this is a he's a member of the SS.
It's even worse.
Not just like a Ukrainian, like paramilitary.
Yeah, he's a bad guy.
unidentified
We have here in the chamber today Ukrainian-Canadian war veteran from the Second World War.
rex jones
How insane!
tim tompkins
He looks like one of a Quaker.
unidentified
Yeah, the Ukrainian independence against the Russians.
fought for the nazis against the russians and continues to support the troops today even at his age of 98.
they were some of the worst now He's a Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero, and we have a real hero service.
tim tompkins
Al Jazeera is really pulling out the stops.
rex jones
He fought for the feared Ukrainian 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS.
So he's bombing people.
tim tompkins
Hey, it's no different than Julian.
rex jones
It's not just Jews.
It's Polish people.
It's Lithuanian people.
It's people that they didn't consider human.
And the interesting thing is, Hitler in the Second World War, he was very selective and picky about it.
But he'd go, okay, these people are Germanic, like the Brits, who he respected because they were German by their nature.
And he goes, you guys are also that.
You're not Russian.
You're not subhuman.
Like that, that's, and that was the belief.
tim tompkins
Can I add something here?
rex jones
Absolutely.
tim tompkins
Okay.
Look, Nazi is the one that's on the main cover here.
Right.
But you, we, and I, you and I have covered this on previous episodes where we talk about Winston Churchill, praised man, right?
And there are people that were in the UK and he's got that that that literally had their power exerted in places like the uh South Asia and India and a lot of these eastern places.
And he's just like, and they starved millions of people and they killed them.
Now, here's the nuance here.
Uh, I'm not sitting here defending a Nazi because I'll never do that.
I think everything that came with that was awful.
But what I will say, just like the Allied and the Axis power, um, fundamentally, yeah, a lot of these people follow orders and very influential.
rex jones
And that's and that's the thing.
And that's how it would be for anyone or anyone.
If you were in this society, everyone's always like, I would be the person that had the people in the attic and I would be the hero.
No, you know, you wouldn't.
unidentified
No, you wouldn't.
tim tompkins
Most people wouldn't.
rex jones
You probably have a gun and you're probably doing bad things.
tim tompkins
You'd probably turn in your local Jew because that was what the normal thing is.
rex jones
I mean, like, that's just a fact of history and life.
And people forget.
And that's why we're in the era that we're in now or having the problems that we're having is things are so soft.
tim tompkins
So that's why.
rex jones
So like it is so.
And I'm not trying to step on your point.
tim tompkins
No God.
rex jones
We are so shortly removed from a period where it literally is like Red Dead Redemption.
And people don't forget that because society exists.
Right.
tim tompkins
Because here's the thing.
Something like that guy, you know, he's 90 something years old.
Everyone has the ability to redefine and refine themselves to a better person.
rex jones
That's so funny.
tim tompkins
No, it says that.
I know.
I'm using the worst case.
If you want to be a Nazi in your past life, you do that and become a better person afterwards.
rex jones
I killed Zodin and this was very good.
I came back to Canada and I don't know.
I have fucking children.
tim tompkins
It is like the worst scenario.
I wish we were talking about somebody else in order to actually give this example here.
But fundamentally.
You can redefine yourself, especially if you're 98 and that was something that you did when you were in your 20s.
I can get behind.
rex jones
Part of a growth process.
tim tompkins
I can get behind.
rex jones
He's on a self-improvement journey.
tim tompkins
I can get behind a little bit of you changing.
Now, parading him around is one thing.
rex jones
The thing is, here's the point.
I understand.
You're coming at it and you're like, well, you know what?
It is what it is.
And this is the situation.
I come at it and I go, look, the government, our governments are so stupid.
And this goes to the point that they don't actually run everything.
And it's actually the bureaucracy and the agencies, the intelligence people that run everything.
They're so retarded.
They don't have anyone fact-checking them.
It's just, we're the Canadian.
I don't even, I don't know how Canadians talk.
I'm not going to do a Canadian.
They say, A. A.
Yeah.
Like, we're the Canadian.
We're the Canadian government, but hey.
And like, we can do whatever we want.
And they didn't even have the due diligence to think about what happened during World War II.
tim tompkins
Yeah, that's the sensitivity around it.
They shouldn't have paraded.
rex jones
A history major should have known that it was like, hey, like, this is these, like, Allied troops fought against these people.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
You're right.
Like, it doesn't mean like you get exonerated for your sins all of a sudden and that you didn't commit those things and you didn't serve.
I don't know if he served a punishment or not.
But what I'm saying more so is also like where I can't get behind is, you know, all right.
That's like maybe 70 years in the future of his life.
Right.
You look at the president, well, air quotations, the president of Syria now, who was part of, you know, Al-Qaeda.
And that was only how long ago?
What, 10, 15 years ago?
That is a completely different situation to where that's.
At the point, I didn't get amnesia.
I was living during that time.
rex jones
You know what?
tim tompkins
My generation didn't die off.
I'm living in the generation where those things happened.
rex jones
He was responsible for now.
tim tompkins
So now the exoneration, like that's different.
He's 97.
Most of those people have died off.
Redefine yourself.
Okay.
Not defending a Nazi, but I'm just saying the timing.
unidentified
I get it.
rex jones
It's a scale that we can use to show that what's going on now is even worse.
It's crazy, but let's go ahead because we do have a bunch of clips.
You've got a prepared segment.
So Ben Shapiro and Candace, or not Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson, they both spoke.
I think they spoke like immediately after each other or before each other.
I think Shapiro went first, Tucker went second, and they had some pretty harsh words to say, you know, just about the state of the movement and each other.
ben shapiro
Third, and relatedly, we have a duty to take responsibility for what we say and do.
If we hire awful people, we're responsible for that.
I have some experience there, as you might suspect.
rex jones
Candace Owens shot.
ben shapiro
That means that if we offer a guest for your viewing, we owe it to you to ask the kinds of questions that actually get at the truth.
If we agree with the guest, that's fine, but we should own it.
So, for example, if you host a Hitler apologist, Nazi-loving, anti-American piece of refuse like Nick Fuentes.
tim tompkins
Right.
rex jones
Nick Fuentes.
ben shapiro
You know, the Nick Fuentes who said that the vice president of the United States is a, quote, fat, gay race traitor married to a Jeet.
The person who said that Charlie Kirk was a quote retarded idiot.
The person who said, and pardon my language here, it's his quote, that he, quote, took Turning Point USA and fucked it.
And that's why it's filled with gripers.
If you have that person Glaze him, you ought to own it.
rex jones
That's crazy.
unidentified
Glaze him.
rex jones
That's that.
That's just like you glite him.
No one old can come up with a comeback for that.
He turning point USO and filled it full of Groypers.
I mean, just the imagery.
I'm sorry.
Sorry to an audience.
Oh, man.
unidentified
Oh, oh, good grief.
Oh, hey, you gotta give.
tim tompkins
He's an excellent.
unidentified
Look at him.
rex jones
He's like, I'm mad.
I'm upset.
I'm angry.
unidentified
Oh, man.
rex jones
I do like that he doesn't wear a tie.
I do like that.
ben shapiro
There is a reason that Charlie Kirk despised Nick Fuentes and indeed even chided Danesh D'Souza for debating him.
He knew that Nick Fuentez is an evil troll and that building him up is an act of moral imbecility.
And that is precisely what Tucker Carlson built Nick Fuente.
And he ought to take responsibility for that, just as he ought to take responsibility for glazing pornographer and alleged sex traffickers or for mainstreaming fake historian and pseudo-Nazi apologist Daryl Cooper as America's best and most honest popular historian.
Hosts are indeed responsible for the guests they choose and the questions they ask those guests.
No one else.
Because we have a duty to truth.
We also have a duty to provide you of the claims that we make.
Emotive accusations, theories, and just asking questions.
That's lazy and stupid and misleading.
None of them are a substitute.
tim tompkins
Whoa.
rex jones
All right.
Hold on, fast-talking snake oil salesman.
Let's listen to this.
So there's something there's something here.
ben shapiro
It's a truth.
We also have a duty to provide you with evidence of the claims that we make.
rex jones
Okay.
ben shapiro
Emotive accusations, conspiracy theories, and just asking questions.
That's lazy.
rex jones
Emotive, whatever, conspiracy theories and just asking questions.
So just asking questions, see, that's lazy.
You see how he's saying, oh, like lazy people do that.
Lazy people don't trust my official story that I put out.
Lazy people aren't smart enough to understand that I'm telling you the truth.
tim tompkins
Yeah, wait, that's what he meant by just asking questions.
ben shapiro
Yeah.
rex jones
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Are we not?
Are we not supposed to be asking questions?
rex jones
That's what he just said right there.
tim tompkins
I think that's what people should be doing more of.
rex jones
Yeah, let's watch that again.
ben shapiro
Just five seconds of emotive accusations, conspiracy theories, and just asking questions.
That's lazy and stupid and misleading.
tim tompkins
Actually, what's lazy is just taking somebody by their word and not doing the homework.
rex jones
Yeah, well, let's just talk about that for a second.
So it's lazy and stupid and like disingenuous, whatever the other word he used, to just ask questions.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
Right.
When he made his career talking into a microphone, into a camera, asking questions.
Now, they may have been not genuine questions.
They may have been from an ideology that he supported, but that's what he did.
But see, you're not allowed to do it.
And this is how, like, we look at the boomers and we say, oh, the old people, the old era of those people voting and watching cable TV, that's going to die off.
I'm telling you right now, this is how they're trying to like, this is the Frankenstein out of the grave version of the past 50 years.
tim tompkins
I think there's a fundamental hypocrisy with all of this.
I'm not going to lie.
rex jones
100%.
tim tompkins
You know, the thing is, is I've followed Shapiro over the years.
rex jones
Me too.
tim tompkins
You know, I think he's been, he's been, depending on who you talk to, he's either a very amazing guy or he's very controversial.
And people have said the same thing about him, especially on the left and people who really don't like some of the things that he says.
Now, he's a little bit more political correct in some of his speeches and the things that he says than a Fuentes.
rex jones
Well, what is the left not like?
The left is the left position.
tim tompkins
The left.
No, I'm saying like even not new Shapiro.
Saying even the old Shapiro that had his certain fundamental beliefs around like things like marriage, same sex, a lot of the things that were a little bit more spicy than the average left and that kind of wanted to be Orthodox Jewish background.
Exactly, it's a conservative.
So people would fundamentally be like, He would come on shows.
He would be, he's, I think he's a phenomenal debater, right?
Now he's fallen off just a little bit, but I think the way he orates and the way that he actually is able to compound his ideas and give it to you in a way that's understandable.
Very rare skill.
rex jones
There's like a tier of entities that I put people on, like that are like S tier speakers.
And he's definitely there, right?
He's a member of that club.
tim tompkins
And he's, he, he is like, I put him, I put Kirk in that S tier.
Like, they're just fundamental people who have very strong ability to make a statement with conviction.
And people don't like that, but he's been platformed.
Now, I'm not sitting here, and you know how I feel about Fuentes, right?
Like, I don't agree with everything he says.
I think some of the things is like hilarious, like it's just locker room talk.
And then fundamentally, I think he does things that are frankly just not the way that it should be if you're trying to push it and make those statements.
But where I don't agree with Shapiro on here, if you're going to be a free speech absolutist and stuff like that and say this is like, I could probably go and research and find a video of Shapiro criticizing the left of like doing some type of censorship and calling for censorship and being like, well, god damn it, this is America.
We need to, we need to do free speech.
And then he goes up there now and is saying like, well, yes, you know what?
Why would you give this Fuentes guy exactly?
Here's the thing.
You have said this over and over again, right?
Where you say, look, I have to be ideologically consistent.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
This is not that.
rex jones
No, no, not.
I 100% agree with you.
That's a very deep take.
And when you look at someone like him who's received 100 millions of dollars, he's received all this outside funding and investment.
That's just that's the truth of his career.
He can't sue me for saying that because it's true.
And you look at someone that's been in like the beneficial top spot.
This was the only viewable like this face right here.
This was the only viewable conservative media for like five years, like leading after 2018.
Like Facebook would specifically push daily wire stuff over all other content.
True.
Like this is this is why all over.
So for him now, he's not the cool kid anymore.
He's not the popular kid.
It's not 2016.
He's not roasting people on college campuses.
He's actually butting heads with other, like, whatever you want to call them, intellectual midweights.
I guess, yeah, I like that.
Intellectual midweights and like people that people think are important, like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and whatnot.
And even if he's got a good argument, a good position, and a good ability to convey all that stuff, he just doesn't measure up in the it factor anymore.
Like people washed.
tim tompkins
Right.
rex jones
Yeah.
And that happens.
You know, that happens to people.
We'll close it out.
ben shapiro
None of them are a substitute for truth.
None of them are a substitute for evidence.
rex jones
So when Canada, well, how about we get to see the evidence?
How about we get to see the files?
How about we get to see the autopsy?
It's so weird.
Like, I go look, I go look up a homeless stabbing autopsy and see it, but I can't see Charlie Kirk autopsy.
Explain explain this to me.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
Make it, make it make sense, but do not ask questions.
It is wrong to ask questions.
ben shapiro
Someone says, I don't know, no, but I know that is retarded.
rex jones
And we are okay.
Well, leave it to Ben to let us know what's retarded.
tim tompkins
No, it's sad because I really fundamentally like I agree.
This is why I can't subscribe fully to one person or one thing because they always find a way to just like get absorbed by whatever system they're in.
Right.
Because I don't think all of his ideas are original and his own.
He's part of that TPUSA and they have an agenda and they have a base.
rex jones
These people wear suits and gowns and they go into big banquet halls and ballrooms and they drink and they laugh and they talk about society.
And then they go on their show and they don't have that same discussion with you.
And people criticize my father and whatnot and said, like, Alex has gotten the call, this, that, earth thing.
He's controlled.
Alex gets my dad gets more invites to things like that than anyone could imagine, right?
Like think tanks, people want to meet him, Rogan, et cetera.
He always turns him down because he wants to remain loyal to his work.
tim tompkins
Wait, he's turned down Rogan recently.
rex jones
Yeah.
I mean, like, he's a busy guy.
I would have not going on the show, but just hanging out.
tim tompkins
Oh, oh, oh, I was about to say, dude.
rex jones
Yeah, no.
tim tompkins
I would love to see a part two of it.
rex jones
I mean, we all, we all would, but Rogan won't have him on.
It's not profitable for Rogan to have him on.
Like, Rogan got the Rogan used my dad for credibility in the same way that honestly, like when my dad has Fuentezon, it kind of does the same thing.
But like, when my dad does it, it's, it's more rational and reasonable and honorable versus Rogan, in my view, is someone who viewed Alex as being on the fringe and his identity as being on the fringe, meaning Rogan's like UFO, like Bigfoot conspiracy theory.
tim tompkins
He's got a version of that.
rex jones
But he's moved away from that.
You can kind of see how he's moved.
tim tompkins
I think it's for the better, to be honest, because that was the part about Rogan I did not like.
You really are a hater.
I really can't get behind conspiracies without like bases.
rex jones
Well, let's watch the second half of our little clash, our little let me answer this question.
tim tompkins
We might open the phones after my segment.
We'll see, depending on how things go, how long things take.
But for sure.
rex jones
I mean, we can, I can speed it up if you want.
I'm having a good time.
tim tompkins
No, I'm having a good time.
I'm just saying, I'm saying we'll let you guys join on the phone, but probably after my segment.
rex jones
Yeah, Mr. Awake, like we're going to, we'll do a graphic that'll have the phone number and also read it out to you.
Something weird has been going on with the phone system where like I had three people on and it dropped.
And then next time we try to do it, only one caller, New Groyper, was able to get in.
So when I put the number up, call the number.
And that goes to everyone watching.
Let's get the phones full.
We'll take calls tonight at the end of the show, but you have to actually, it's like we say with the supplements, you got to actually take action and do the thing.
So take action and call the number if you actually have something to say.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
Right.
But let's get into the second half of this.
Let's see Tucker's response.
tucker carlson
I just got here and I feel like I missed the first part of the program.
Hope I didn't miss anything meaningful.
But I just want to say, I don't think I did.
rex jones
But look at him.
tim tompkins
Shapiro went on before him, right?
rex jones
Yes.
Look how, like, Ben, and I'll get off this for a second, just to like do the body language analysis.
Ben is like this.
Ben is like pensive.
He's stressed.
He's angry.
He's trying to convey a message.
I remember how I looked when I addressed David Hogg.
And then Tucker's out here mogging.
tucker carlson
No, I'm just kidding.
rex jones
Look at that.
He's like, yeah, I'm the fucking guy.
tim tompkins
Well, because Tucker was the cool guy at school.
rex jones
That's all I'm saying.
Like, that's the problem: this is Revenge of the Nerds.
You got the angry nerd Shapiro mad at the chat.
tim tompkins
I'm a little confused.
Why are all of these people all at the same event roasting each other?
Like, it's the weirdest thing if I just crack some divides.
rex jones
The MAGA movement was built for well over a decade.
tim tompkins
Because they all used to be consistent when everything was like good and great.
rex jones
This won't be around in a year.
tim tompkins
I agree with you.
rex jones
This is the death of a movement.
That's what you're watching live.
tucker carlson
I just got here and I feel like I missed the first part of the program.
Hope I didn't miss anything meaningful.
But I just want to say, I don't think I did.
No, I'm just kidding.
rex jones
I watched it.
tucker carlson
I laughed.
I laughed that kind of bitter, sardonic laugh that emerges from you when like upside down world arrives.
When your dog starts doing your taxes and you're like, wait, it's not supposed to work this way.
To hear calls for like deplatforming and denouncing people at a Charlie Kirk event.
I'm like, what?
unidentified
This is hilarious.
tucker carlson
Yeah.
This is hilarious.
Actually, one of the clips I was listening to myself thinking as I often do when I hear myself speak, which is never because I never watch myself, but at these events, they always play like the role of you.
unidentified
And I'm like, that guy is pompous.
tucker carlson
Sorry about that.
We don't see ourselves clearly.
But the prediction that, you know, at some point when Republicans took power again, which I did everything I could, you know, to help and really felt that was important.
rex jones
And see, that's the measuring stick.
And that's the little thing that's so key is like, what did you do in 2024 to get our great leader elected?
And this is in the mind, like, even people that have issues with Trump.
Like, how red are they?
Like, well, that's, that's the thing, right?
Like, even people that like are just low political consciousness in general, even if they're mad at Trump, they will, they'll still measure their conservative figures based off of that.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
So I think they need a new metric.
I agree.
I was going right.
I think they need a new metric.
rex jones
Isn't that a little bad?
We should.
tim tompkins
Because now that metric has like died out.
And it's like, we can't really be proud of whether you got him voted or not because he's not doing the job he said he did.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
But, you know, let's put that.
tucker carlson
I still think, you know, I was right.
But I really thought that the impulse to deplatform people or even to use the word platform as a verb, which it's not, it's a noun.
Don't steal my nouns.
Deplatform and denounce.
Why haven't you denounced somebody else?
The whole like red guard cultural revolution thing that we so hated and feared on the left that we did everything we could to usher in a new time where you could have an actual debate.
I mean, this kind of was the whole point of Charlie Kirk's.
tim tompkins
So based.
So based.
This is literally what I was just talking about like a minute ago.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
He is exactly hitting the nail on the head.
I never watched this video until just now, but this is exactly, he's correct.
And this is why I'm like, well, maybe I am center right, you know, right?
Because it's like I have ideologically consistent views with him, but then I hear Ben Shapiro saying that shit.
And it's like, what is the bucket of being conservative?
rex jones
Here's the thing, just like on a psychic level.
And like everyone's sketchy to some degree.
No one is purely clean in this industry.
tim tompkins
Yeah, he's even got his own things.
rex jones
But don't you see the aura from it compared to what Shapiro is kind of laying down?
tim tompkins
100%.
Shapiro just looks like the old granny who's just mad caring.
rex jones
Yeah, like this is in much the same way in 2016 when Trump captured that energy and got like the super Saiyan power up of the movement.
Like that, that, that, that like energy is going to other people now that people consider legitimate.
The desire for that change hasn't gone away.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
And fundamentally, you're sitting in this room and you're probably looking around.
Do you think more people at this point in time agree more with Tucker or Shapiro?
rex jones
I think more people agree with Tucker.
And it's not just Republicans and it's not just independents.
It's also Democrats.
And that's the crazy thing is because a lot of Democrats voted for Donald Trump in 2016.
We forget this.
And those people didn't vote for him again in 2020 and 2024.
But a lot of those voters voted for Trump because they truly believed in him and they were Obama voters, right?
They voted for Obama in 2012 and 2008, but they were willing to take a chance on someone that was at least like mimicking or letting off that false aura of like being like that Americana stuff, right?
And like that's that is what I get from Tucker.
tucker carlson
Public life.
And I think that I think that he died for it.
I really believe that.
rex jones
He looks like a leader.
tucker carlson
And I know a lot about it because the last several months of Charlie's life were devoted in part to arguing about this event.
In fact, this speech, in fact, my speech here, which he asked me to do earlier this year, this summer, and was immediately put under just immense pressure from people who give money to turning point.
I would assume.
rex jones
So baller.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
And you can tell, and you can tell he's not sitting here like rehearsed.
It didn't seem like there's a teleport.
rex jones
There's no prep for this.
tim tompkins
One before Shapiro looks like he's reading off of a script.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
And that's the thing is like the truth is like a lion.
It fights for itself.
tim tompkins
Yep.
tucker carlson
Good people, but who wanted him to take me off the roster?
And this has all become public.
And the whole thing is so sad that I never talk about it, except to say Charlie stood firm in his often stated and deeply held belief that people should be able to debate and have something valid to say.
If you're telling the truth, you ought to be able to explain it calmly and in detail to people who don't agree with you.
And you shouldn't shut up racist.
tim tompkins
So true.
tucker carlson
You shouldn't immediately go to motive.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
And like, and that's true.
That's literally just like, I'm not even going to say it's conservative or liberal or whatever, just as young people, like, that's the world we want to exist in, man.
And like, and the great robbery that our generation has gone through in the millennials too is like that was taken away from us because the country went down the tubes and they had to find a way to keep us all fighting so that they could run away with the profit.
tucker carlson
Yeah.
tim tompkins
The only thing that I am in agreeance for some sort of, I don't want to say censorship around, is just people who are just straight up lying with bad intentions to just create chaos.
rex jones
Well, what do you mean?
tim tompkins
You mean people, and I'm talking about like, yeah, the Chinese bot that goes out there, makes a whole claim.
There are people genuinely who just want to see chaos in the world.
Now it's very hard to tell.
rex jones
I hear you.
tim tompkins
It's hard to tell.
rex jones
I hear you, but any kind of imposing of these things requires a digital ID to be online.
That's the problem.
That's what internet censorship is.
tim tompkins
No, it's about fact checking.
I think that's what it comes down to.
We don't see community notes anymore.
I agree with you.
We don't see anything relevant towards just a third-party independent.
This is what they do.
I know there's millions of things online every day.
rex jones
It's also just like it's about raising the collective consciousness to the point of being like, hey, we have to educate ourselves.
We have to do our own research.
I think that's a huge part of that, man.
And it's just like this is, they make low propensity voters by design.
It's by design that less than a third of Americans vote.
Like that they want the system that way.
And the only way we get out of that system is more education, which is like what I hope that y'all realize that that's what we talk about on the gray area is education.
Right.
And people go, I don't want to hear about this or whatever.
But at the end of the day, these are all, it's like we have a puzzle, a puzzle set that's like a million pieces long.
And every time we sit in here, we do like 50, 60 pieces or something.
And eventually, once we get year, year into doing the show, years into doing it, we'll reach a point as to where we'll have been talking about these things for so long and have been making these predictions and talking people that we'll actually have an educated base of people that have been working with us this entire time to reach that point of where we have the ability to not only have an informed audience, but an audience that informs.
tim tompkins
Yeah, like I pray to God, man.
Like, I don't want this to ever turn into a thing where like we get thrown into this slop.
rex jones
No.
tim tompkins
You know, like it's just people are tired of this.
I know there's a people who love the drama and the ruse around being able to stay these statements with conviction.
And I'll even say, like, Fuentes is part of that just slightly.
You know, it's just, there's a, there's a, there's a conviction.
rex jones
It's called grifting.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
It's called grifting.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
So, and you had said it on the last show, I think, or two shows ago.
You're like, the difference between like Candace Owens and Fuentes, like you're, you're finding it harder and harder to tell the difference.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
But it's just, you know, two sides of the same coin.
Well, and I don't want us to get into that either.
rex jones
And that's, that's the fear.
And like, that, that's really the high-level technique is to put people in different echo chambers and then get them to fight and never come together.
And we've seen that largely like on the left, they don't do that.
Like you'll find a radical leftist person.
And you'll find a person that's like, I don't know, like a trans dragon or something.
And then they'll be out there, you know, like with the Muslim people.
And like, how does that work?
Because the Muslim people, it's their religion to kill you.
And you know that.
And then you're doing something that they consider to be like an abomination against God.
tim tompkins
No, I think there, I think there's an ignorance there too.
Well, a lot of those people don't even know.
rex jones
I know, I agree, but that just speaks to the total situation as a whole.
It's like the political ignorance in America is why these people that like, it's like I said, it's all a show.
It's why these TV show hosts are able to fool us and are able to run everything.
And that's why when like a realer person comes up, not even saying fully real, but a person with more substance like Tucker, it's such a seat change.
You're like, like, what is like, what is all of this?
tim tompkins
He's like that now.
I didn't like old Tucker, I'll be honest when he was part of the Fox system.
I felt like there was an influence there now that he has ability to like breathe just a little bit.
I like this version.
Independent.
Yeah.
The only thing I see as an issue with him sometimes and a lot of these people is they're not consistent enough in just being based and just saying things and calling out both sides for fundamentally thing and just sticking to it.
Because at this point, Shapiro, you look at the left, not even the left, you look at the right with Shapiro.
Yeah, go ahead, man.
You look at the conservative base, right?
And you got the Shapiros just making statements.
You got the claims.
And some of them are based, but there's not a consistency to the narrative.
We need to do better.
And I think this is why I'm proud of the new generation because Rex and I sit on here and we're not particularly bound to just one narrative.
And that's why I talked a little bit earlier.
I'm just sick and tired of buckets of like, okay, I have to label myself under this thing because if I say these combinations of words, it means I'm this.
If I say this combination of words, it means I'm that.
And I think the problem is, is as you create the buckets, they draw these lines where if you tow just outside of the line, you get thrown from the entire bucket.
And humans have a natural tendency to be part of a community.
And that's why we formed these buckets is the community.
All we need to fundamentally do and what we talk about on the show is form just maybe we are forming a new community.
Maybe we are fundamentally forming something that's just like, look, independent thought process.
Everybody has the ability to say what they want on the right, what they want on the left.
I don't give a shit if you're Indian.
I don't give a shit if you're Asian.
I don't give a shit if you're white, black.
Doesn't matter.
Consistency of thought process and calling things out when they're false and when they're wrong is the agenda.
Now, you can sit here and say, well, what is the truth behind what's right?
What's wrong?
There's a subjectivity to that.
And you can say that.
But there are some very clean cut ones that have been established.
Like you can't just go out and shoot a thousand people and expect to claim that as a good thing.
Right.
Like there's some things that you can just fundamentally just say, okay, this is the baseline.
Anything beyond that, where you're talking about religion, because everyone has to be born in a different region and whoever's religion is taught in that region, they're going to get behind that and they're going to say, well, I know the true God and these are the things.
Those are a little bit more nuanced.
So you can't really claim that I know the one true message about these particular things.
rex jones
It's also like, especially talk about Middle East, if you have religion involved, ultimately, who are we as Americans to go and impose any kind of culture on anyone.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
And that was where fundamentally some of our issues are coming up now.
We tried to go out there, preach the gospel of the American way on some countries where fundamentally they were taught one thing and it makes a mess.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
And then you got the pushback of this is just not ideologically consistent with what I grew up with.
And all I'm just saying is, look, whether you like Tucker, whether you like these people, I think we just need to get to a point where we are consistent with our message.
I think the generation that is growing up right now, and I'm seeing enough people wake up that I'm optimistic about the future.
I really am.
As much as it's easy to get up on X, wake up, and be like, another shooting, oh, another racist post.
rex jones
But there's seven point whatever billion people in the world need to just get the worst shit in the world curated.
tim tompkins
Exactly.
rex jones
And that itself, and just to counterbalance that, look at that.
Look at Little Mr. Rupert, man.
Look how cute that is.
That's not gore.
unidentified
It's very Mr. Buddy.

But you get bombarded from day one with just like the worst possible things you can see on social media.
And it doesn't even have to be like a war crime or anything crazy or like 4chan stuff, although a lot of that is on Twitter now.
Like it could just be like, man, I forget the guy's name.
It's like a super fat guy who would just like ride around on like a little dirt bike and like crash into things and hurt himself.
And it's just like, if you watch something like that, what is the higher purpose for humanity or for yourself that you're realizing, right?
You're not.
That's a slop chip.
But then you eat another slop chip and another slop chip, and soon all you are is full of slop.
Yeah.
Nothing of substance, nothing of actual quality or nothing that you've learned from.
Just a nation of people fed and that run off and eventually die off of using slop instead of using quality information.
And that, not just to inform themselves, but to live their lives.
tim tompkins
And that's why I encourage people to take breaks from X.
I think a lot of the stuff that's on X right now is slop chips.
You can take it however you want, but there's a reason why rage bait was the word of the year.
There is a reason why I'm a little disappointed in Elon when I see some of his posts.
I'm like, dude, you're no better than the guy who's just like posting some random Joe Schmo stuff.
Like I'll literally just sit there, go look at an Elon Musk post or some random guy who's like made a breaking news.
This happened today in the news.
And then I fact check it.
I'm like, what the?
This has nothing to do with anything.
This isn't even real.
rex jones
I wonder how many people Elon could feed with his Twitter revenue.
Like, just from posting his own stuff, just his own ads.
tim tompkins
I don't know how he has enough fucking time.
Dude, go build a colony on Mars.
rex jones
That's I get it.
I understand.
But here's, here's, here's my thing.
I'm tired of like the grotesque amounts of money.
And then those people own the politicians.
And like, I was a fan of Doge.
I was a fan of Elon coming in and actually looked like they were going to do some stuff.
And that's, that's why he got kicked out, right?
I think that's pretty clear.
And Elon, as far as all those people, if you're worth over $500 million to a billion dollars, you're like a vampire demon of some kind, meaning like you have some sort of like crazy like mental condition, like you're a psychopath or like you're a grandiose narcissist or a sociopath.
I trust Elon the most because he seems to have Asperger's.
That seems to be his problem.
So he's just kind of like, I didn't know what happened.
tim tompkins
But something has happened.
It's very weird.
Something has happened within the last year.
I don't know what it is.
rex jones
If you look at Elon Musk prior to ketamine usage, heavy ketamine usage in Austin.
tim tompkins
Look, I don't know.
rex jones
Look, if I, if I, if I wanted to go get some right now, I could go get some.
And all it would do would just like go to Sixth Street.
And like, that's what everyone in Austin, Texas does is ketamine.
And where does he live?
And what did Susie Wiles say that he does all the time?
Ketamine.
unidentified
Ketamine.
rex jones
And I believe it.
Right.
tim tompkins
And like, and he got in trouble from his own board where they're like, there were people literally calling for him to like either get fired or not make money because it was publicly stated that he's doing some type of heavy stuff that a CEO should probably not be doing, but he's like, I'm self-medicating.
rex jones
The thing is about the ketamine, you don't know how it works because you've never taken it the way I've taken it, which would be snorting it.
The thing that's interesting about ketamine is that you have the effect for like 30, 45 minutes, and it just kind of goes away.
So it's something we're like, I'm a working businessman.
I could do the ketamine.
It'll be fine.
And it doesn't work that way when you're doing it all day.
tim tompkins
Exactly.
And your body builds a tolerance and all those things that come with it.
rex jones
And what it, what it does, it inhibits, it inhibits glutamate, which is like the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, I believe, or one of them.
Right.
So like it essentially, it's, it's, it's very weird.
It's, it's like being drunk, but not drunk.
You feel weightless almost.
And then if you do a lot of it, you go into what they call a K-hole.
tim tompkins
Well, you, you, I mean, you took it a step further.
I, I mean, I agree with everything you just said.
It could, it literally could be that.
I was just thinking post-Elon politics.
Yeah, post-Elon politics and pre-Elon politics.
rex jones
And not the same.
tim tompkins
Not the same guy, man.
Either he got into the system, the thing overwhelmed him and he like made a mistake getting into all of that.
And now, you know, he's kind of like backtracked just a little bit.
But it just ideologically, he has shifted just a little bit, a little bit to where he used to be like more pro-humanity, doing things for the greater good of society, and then just building really great stuff that pushes that.
And I'm not seeing that as much.
And when he went into the intention with Joe, was that pro-humanity stuff?
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
And now when I have to wake up, I look at it and I see like some not baseless thing about population.
rex jones
The richest guy in the world is telling people to have more kids because white people are going extinct.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
I'm like, dude, all right, fine.
If that's the hill you want to die on, but like, here's a lot of people, a lot of people like that, though.
rex jones
And that's, but see, that's the thing is that's why he's doing it.
He's realized like, oh, like I'm going to be a political figure.
I'm not going away.
I have infinite money.
It only gets bigger and higher.
I will be here for these future elections.
And the base that likes me seems to want me back are people like my dad, that type of conservative.
They want Elon back.
They trust Elon a lot, a lot more than I trust Elon, by the way.
And in order to signal to those people, he's got to do stuff like that.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
So you got to understand, like, this, it's all an angle shot.
It's all, it's all a move.
It's, it's all a, it's none of these people.
And this is what I like about what I do is like my political opinions, like it's just me having fun.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
And I'm sure I'm sure it's the same for you too.
Like, obviously getting informed, but like, I just want to learn about stuff, man.
These people are like, okay, this is my arc for the next three years.
I'm going to be pushing this specific political ideology.
And then I'll flip slightly to the right and I'll get the young people to move on to me in 2032.
Like, like seriously, though.
tim tompkins
And there's a dichotomy and a contrast between the way they live their lives in front of the people on camera and then the day-to-day.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
And it's literally my dad has this great quote and we need to get it for the soundboard.
We need a soundboard to work again.
He goes, bring me 15 hookers now and get the drugs ready.
Get the planes loaded.
Like that's, that's literally what it is.
Right.
Like, it's not crazy to say these people operate this way.
I mean, why, why did Bill and Melinda Gates get a divorce leaving Melinda Gates, one of the richest women on the planet?
Well, well, Bill Gates is hanging out with Epstein.
tim tompkins
Probably do that, or he probably also doing a lot of the workaholic stuff comes in.
rex jones
But like, I mean, let's tucker clip and go to Epstein.
Then we'll go to Europe.
tim tompkins
Oh, we did have Epstein.
tucker carlson
Shut up, racist is the number one reason I voted for.
And because it's just sick of it.
First of all, if I was a racist, if I was a bigot, I would just say so.
Okay, it's America.
You're allowed to be whatever kind of person you want.
I'm not.
I'm sincerely opposed, have always been and will always be.
But the style of debate where you prevent the other side from talking or being heard because you immediately go to motive.
Well, I wonder why you're asking that question.
I wonder why.
Why are you asking that question?
I detect in the question a certain evil in your soul.
And everyone listening should know that listening to you implicates them.
rex jones
That's the technique that's used is they answer your question with a question that implies guilt.
And that's like stage one technique.
tim tompkins
Repeat that.
Answering a question with a question.
rex jones
Answering a question with a question that implies your guilt.
That's stage one of like dark technique, how to win an argument.
Right.
And I like to see him point stuff like this out because a lot of the public, they like people, I'm not denigrating people's intelligence and whatnot, but if you have a high verbal like you, you can scam people.
And people need to have that broken down to them.
What exactly he just did there?
That was phenomenal.
tucker carlson
And that they someday may be asked to denounce you.
And that friendship is not a reason to defend someone.
unidentified
Love is no defense.
tucker carlson
I kind of thought we'd reached the end of that.
And as far as I'm concerned, we have.
And I'm not going to play by those rules.
rex jones
That's right, man.
tucker carlson
I'm not going to engage in that.
If someone doesn't like what I think, fine with me, as long as I get to express it.
That's my view.
rex jones
Isn't that beautiful?
Right.
I consider that to be beautiful.
That's what America is.
America, at the end of the day, we can all just hang out and like have our American experience and not hurt each other or hate each other.
tim tompkins
I mean, look, dude, that's what I'm talking about.
Reality, boots on the ground outside of the social media context.
Most people, whether they're white or black, interact on a normal basis and there's no beef.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
I don't walk on the street and some guy comes up and calls me the N-word and just was like, we're going to go get the ropes, guys.
Go hang him.
rex jones
Yeah.
He's walking on the street.
tim tompkins
That stuff doesn't go down.
rex jones
Yeah.
So it's just, but, but they, they want us to be in that mode because that's the only way that you win is you divide the lower classes based on race.
When at the top, we talk about this all the time.
Only color that matters is green.
If you're rich, then you're okay.
And if you're a poor, then you're a poor.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
One last thing before Epstein.
This is just an interesting little sound bite because like, look, I love Freudian slips.
They're real funny.
You know what a Freudian slip is, right?
It's when like, I'm trying to think of an example.
I'm going to go to the parm.
Like instead of like, I'm going to go to the farm, I'm thinking about Parmesan.
Oh, you see what I'm saying?
It's something that you let out.
unidentified
That you let out.
tim tompkins
That's your thing.
rex jones
You didn't mean to say.
We'll go ahead and go.
We'll go ahead and go to this because I just thought this was pretty good.
unidentified
Despite the devastating loss of Charlie Kirk, my incredible husband at UVU, Caleb has persisted with the same grift.
Excuse me.
Gift.
Oh.
rex jones
I mean, come on, man.
unidentified
Come on.
tim tompkins
He's sitting up there.
unidentified
Trust me, you're not a grifter, honey.
rex jones
You're not old enough.
That's what she's about to say.
You're not old enough to be a grifter.
You got to put your reps in.
But I mean, like, look, it's on her mind.
You can't say it's not on her mind.
And literally, like, the whole mission of this is donate money to us, please.
Preserve his legacy.
Like, look, it's a grift.
All right.
And look, you're grifting.
It's fine.
It's okay.
And just admit it.
And people buy it more respectfully.
Look, we can't get money if we admit that, man.
That's just, was that a waste of time?
tim tompkins
I thought that was no, that was funny.
rex jones
I thought that was pretty good.
But go ahead.
Let's go into the Epstein and kind of lead the people into this.
tim tompkins
So with the Epstein files, everybody kind of knows.
We kind of, I already called this one out.
You know, I said when they get when the house comes out and gets this passed or whatever, it goes through the senate and all of that.
Trump is like, let them come out with that stuff because I said either two things are going to happen.
They're going to tie it up in litigation or everything is going to be redacted.
Well, we got the latter.
rex jones
What do you mean the names in there?
I told you to take it out.
tim tompkins
Yeah, we got the latter.
So go ahead and show this for everybody.
rex jones
Do you want this or you want to go first?
unidentified
No, no, no.
tim tompkins
We can read this.
rex jones
So Massey and Rokano, so Democrat, Republican, and this is the cool stuff that we see of coalition building of people actually trying to do things that the American people want.
They're upset because they don't believe the Transparency Act was properly carried out.
The bipartisan duo behind the Epstein's files, Transparency Act signed by President Trump in November 2025, says the DOJ's recent releases of thousands of pages are heavily redacted and incomplete, leaving out key details on Epstein's island visitors, foreign ties, and financial links.
Massey called the rollout a slap in the face to survivors, while the DOJ insists redactions pretend we protect the victims and the minors with more files coming after court reviews.
A brief removal of Trump file or files showing Trump photos sparked accusations of obstruction, but they were reposted unredacted.
We need to find those.
That's the one thing we don't have.
tim tompkins
I saw the photos, but I don't think.
rex jones
Because we have some very interesting transcripts that I had not seen before.
They were crazy that we're going to go through.
But, you know, and this is the stuff not to be black pill total negative supreme donkey like I usually am.
Like, this is good.
Like, this is really good.
And even if it is just two guys in the house, like, at least they're two guys from different parties and they're working together on this.
This is like top five, top three of what the American people want.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
Seriously.
And I get protecting the minors.
I get not releasing CP, but you need to do more than just show a black screen for every single.
You need to show the adults.
tim tompkins
Do you have the hot tub?
No, just the pictures of everything blacked out.
I'm sure everybody is.
rex jones
Yeah, let me go try to find that.
I think I got that.
tim tompkins
You know, here's the thing.
He's right about like the victim and identity details.
Here are the things.
Oh, is this it?
Yeah, this is.
rex jones
Oh, oh, look, look at it.
unidentified
Look at it.
rex jones
Look at this.
Oh.
Oh, I wonder what was on that page.
Maybe I'll get more information.
Oh, it's got to be down here.
We got, ooh, something, Nashville PD.
Maybe you raped someone there or something.
Oh, I can't see anything about that.
And it's 21 pages of this.
And like, there's thousands of pages and a lot more stuff that's been released, but this is what's on the judge.
tim tompkins
So if you guys want to know, okay, here's here's the breakdown of it.
We've got victims and names, identifying details.
They've redacted at least 1,200 identities to protect privacy, right?
Entirely blacked out pages like we had just shown.
Hundreds of pages, including 119-page grand jury file were totally redacted.
We've got the grand jury testimony with details removed.
We've got FBI victim interviews and detailed witness statements still withheld.
They're not released quite yet.
You've got the internal DOJ investigation memos in which they break down what their analysis was.
Those have been redacted.
Audio files, transcripts are still not released.
You've got the sensitive evidence, the media of the sexual abuse material.
Now, they wouldn't put that out there.
I don't expect that.
rex jones
No, but look, they have teams of people that review the most horrible stuff imaginable.
It's not a thing of like, oh, okay, literally, it's like the only way to banish this entity is by posting like them like raping a child.
No, no, you literally you put out the like FBI agent 281-6049 fucking saw a video of a politician like doing the thing.
And that's that's not like uh you don't have to be Albert Einstein to come up with that.
Like 100%.
Like you're, we're in our 20s, and that's just like, that's that's what you do.
tim tompkins
Yep.
rex jones
Right.
But not in this case.
Yep.
tim tompkins
So you got the photos, the sensitive content, nuded, the nude imagery.
unidentified
You got Bill Clinton.
I was taking a hot tub bath with her and she was under the water.
I told her I'd teach her how to swim and a lot.
tim tompkins
And those are another girl's feet over there in the corner there that you can see.
Look, another thing that was removed.
You've got they were removed files from the DOJ DOJ website.
At least 16 files, including one with Trump, were taken down post-release for further review.
Interesting.
We've got the FBI DOJ analysis documents, the one that you're talking about, like FBI agent X, Y, and Z found this and X, Y, and Z said this and saw these things.
Right.
And names and identities of minors and family members, which that one, I don't really care for the person's name.
I'm good.
rex jones
It's just, I don't like it.
Like, all or nothing.
And we can't do all.
So we got to do nothing.
Like, like, that's, that's, that's the comp out here.
And I just, this was posted six hours ago.
Pam Bondi retweeted it.
Let me see if I can scroll in or if it's going to be cursed.
unidentified
It's going to, it's going to be cursed.
rex jones
Yeah, actually.
Reset.
unidentified
Oh, no, Reset.
rex jones
You're all good.
We talked for a little bit.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
So, I mean, it can get any black, more black and white here.
And look, I'm not saying I'm Houdini or I'm somebody special.
I was just stating the obvious.
I think anyone could lead themselves to this conclusion.
But this fact sheet that he's about to cover here is something that Bondi posted about Carolyn Levitt, excuse me.
rex jones
Press secretary, but they're all hive mind.
tim tompkins
Okay, so this is their like justification of all the things to like make people feel better.
rex jones
And I'll read it.
I'll read it real quick.
I got good eyes, but I got it.
You can zoom in more.
Thanks.
Yeah, you're right.
Thanks to court seals being lifted as a result of President Trump enacting the Epstein Transparency Act, the Department of Justice is releasing thousands of pages of photos and other material related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Trump administration is continuing its unprecedented support for Epstein transparency.
They said he didn't exist and didn't traffic minors, by the way.
After the Biden administration declined to make any files public.
So you always blame it on Biden.
That's number one.
The first Trump administration was prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein for heinous crimes at the time of his death.
The Obama administration declined to investigate Epstein.
Yeah, because he died when Trump was in office.
Like, this is very sussy.
tim tompkins
Why?
rex jones
Why is the material being released now?
Prior to President Trump's enactment of the Epstein Transparency Act, various judges had declined the Trump Department of Justice request to unseal Epstein-related material.
The enactment of the new law gave judges the legal predicate they used and found sufficient for granting the Trump administration standing request before the courts to unseal the files.
How much more material can we expect to be released?
The Department of Justice has hundreds of thousands of pages of material to release, including material that must comply with co-orders.
So we can't show you nothing.
That's it right there.
tim tompkins
That's a good summary.
rex jones
Yeah, these court orders can slow the Department of Justice's ability to review and redact material, but will not prevent the release of this material.
This interesting thought.
This is making me think of something else, another government cover-up.
And it's long overdue.
We have to do, and I'll work on it this week.
I may even do like starting doing solo shows related to gray area soon.
I may even try to do some sample deep dives.
The Pfizer shit and the Moderna shit with the like 98 years until you can read our studies.
Did you see that when that happened?
Yeah, because everything got emergency use authorization, right?
So it's in court now.
And I think a judge ordered it to be released.
I think it may be out of it.
tim tompkins
As it should.
rex jones
Yeah, but the testing data, like they were like, no, we have a 98-year contract with the government.
tim tompkins
Wait, wait till all the generation that got a fight.
rex jones
Wait till it works, basically.
tim tompkins
Wait till I grow a third arm because of the vaccine.
rex jones
Wait till it's run its course.
But I just, I find that to be interesting.
I relate that to this here.
The Department of Justice has more than 200 lawyers working around the clock, reviewing each individual file for release.
Fucking lie.
They're not like, oh, like, we got to work on this.
It's literally like put in a room.
Like, they're done with this.
They know it's too deadly.
This is an arduous process.
Each document and photograph must be individually reviewed by DOJ in the Southern District of New York, the most corrupt area ever.
tim tompkins
What?
What is the most corrupt area?
rex jones
The Southern District of New York.
tim tompkins
Oh, well, did Trump write this or did the Department of Justice write this?
rex jones
The Department of Justice wrote this, but then see, that's the interesting thing.
The Southern District of New York, they were the ones that indicted Trump.
They were the ones that come after Trump.
But you see, when he's trying to work in the political machine, he's working with the evil enemy, right?
Like, literally, that's where Comey's daughter works.
Right.
That makes sense?
That's where all these people kind of come out of the Southern District of New York and get the top FBI bureaucratic positions.
This arduous process is each document and photograph must be individually reviewed by DOJ and SDNY.
What is being redacted?
The Department of Justice is committed to transparency and redacted only what is legally required.
The department is required by law to redact identifying information.
Can't have that about the victims, minors, or potential victims.
You know, maybe he had a gun to his head as he was raping the eight-year-old.
We don't know.
We can't judge a man based off that.
Like, seriously, though, because when you're sitting in these rooms and you have the authority and you're like, oh, are we going to release this or not?
Well, clearly, I mean, this man's a victim.
He's being forced to do it.
tim tompkins
Oh, you know, Bill had a sniper trained on him while he was in that hot tub.
rex jones
Right.
And see, that's the thing is when they're talking about victims, they're not even, they are talking about the victims in certain respects, but they're also talking about the perpetrator, right?
Because ultimately, the perpetrator is also a victim because they were part of the op.
tim tompkins
You know how simple it is?
Yeah, I don't like, look, victims, fine.
rex jones
We don't need names.
tim tompkins
I need an age.
Minus, she's under this age.
That is all that needs to matter.
And then names.
Simple as that.
Equation is very simple.
rex jones
Here's the thing.
I don't care about what your justification is.
I don't care about like I heard a lot of weird justifications.
Oh, look.
Yeah.
tim tompkins
You see this, you see the sniper dot trained right here.
rex jones
Shit.
He's exonerated.
tim tompkins
He's got the snipe.
It's very hard to see here looking on my phone.
unidentified
If I didn't keep that girl under the water, they were going to.
tim tompkins
Yep.
100%.
rex jones
Yeah.
Man, it's just, I'm trying to think of it.
It was defending this shit.
And it may have been Alan Dershowitz or someone who's like, well, she's 16.
It's illegally in France.
It's like, no, like, like, you're, you're like a fucking, you're like an elderly middle-aged.
tim tompkins
He's part of it.
Throw him in jail.
rex jones
Like, you're, you're, you're literally, you're condoning child molestation.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
And like, these, these other nations, they have these consent laws.
Like, that shit's fucking crazy.
Like 14 in some European countries, I think in France.
Like, isn't that?
tim tompkins
There's no threshold for like four, like 14 and 16 is one thing, but like.
rex jones
No, Like a 14-year-old can have consensual sex with an adult and the adult doesn't go to statutory rate.
tim tompkins
That's pretty crazy.
rex jones
Like that, and that's, that's beyond anything.
And of course, like in America, they have like Romeo Juliet, where if like you're 17, your girlfriend is 16, you're 18, your girlfriend's 17.
You can still date her.
tim tompkins
Yeah, yeah.
Like, there's age differences to where like the cognitive things are very similar.
rex jones
But no, young, no young woman wanted to be tricep.
tim tompkins
What do you mean by they're directly tied together?
Interested in what you're saying there there.
rex jones
Which guy?
tim tompkins
Uh, tri-x step said, Tim, they're directly tied together.
Look who lobbied for who.
Uh, tell me about that a little bit.
rex jones
Yeah, tell did everyone reading uh trickstep uh live chat here, did did everyone wonder why Anthony Weiner came out of nowhere?
He holds no bars on or holds no bars or no holds barred on a bunch of podcasts for no reason, acted like he didn't just go to jail for what he did.
Arrogance, man.
It's arrogance and it's about building public profile.
Andy Weiner, he ran for some governmental position in New York, Tim.
I'm not sure if you know who he is.
tim tompkins
Yeah, I know.
rex jones
And like he was sending the ding-a-ling photos to like the underage woman or whatever.
It's like that, you know, that's like Chappelle skit or whatever where he's given a press conference.
tim tompkins
Yeah, I think I saw it.
Actually, it may be and he owned it too, like on TV, right?
He was like, I don't really have an excuse for this.
rex jones
Yeah, I mean, that's the best way he could handle something like that, right?
But that's just who he is and acted like he didn't just go to jail for what he did.
Yeah, he doesn't care.
And then that's why he's a psychopath.
And that's why ultimately he's still going to be successful, right?
Same with Jeffrey Epstein.
People are still trying to hang out with Jeffrey Epstein years after he's convicted pedophile, right?
Because he had money.
tim tompkins
Because he had money and he had power.
rex jones
Yeah, that's all you want.
tim tompkins
That's really what spoke to those people.
rex jones
Indeed.
tim tompkins
Where's that thing that you had that was interesting on the files?
Because we were going directly to justice.gov for some of this.
rex jones
Yeah, this was just, this is a, this is a plaintiff, like a Jane Doe plaintiff alleging just like what Epstein and Gislane, the kind of program they ran on her.
I found this to be interesting.
And then we'll go to the shocking one that you have, which mentions Trump.
tim tompkins
Which I had not read this entire time somehow.
rex jones
And it's just so believable.
Like, if you just think about it and like, just like imagine the mental setting of like where the event takes place.
And I can just like, like, I could totally see him saying that to him.
tim tompkins
I could too.
rex jones
You know, but I could too.
We'll go ahead and look at this first one because the first one's also important.
Will you lead this off as a translator?
tim tompkins
Okay.
So introduction.
This case arises out of the years of sexual abuse and exploitation of a young girl by the notorious pedophile and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein.
It all started in 1994 when a 13-year-old Jane Doe met Epstein and a defendant, Ghislaine Maxwell, at a summer camp in Michigan.
Jane Doe was their first known victim and was subsequently abused by Epstein and Maxwell for years as a young girl suffering unimaginable physical and psychological trauma and distress.
Despite that, Jane Doe has preserved and survived to tell her story, to hold the perpetrators accountable, to seek justice for the atrocities committed against her.
Though his life, Epstein systematically perpetrated acts of molestation and exploitation, assault and rape of hundreds of young girls, Epstein's system of abuse was facilitated in a large part by his co-conspiracy conspirator and accomplice, Maxwell, who helped supply him with a steady stream of young and vulnerable girls, many of them who were fatherless, like Jane Doe, and he came from struggling families.
rex jones
And let's examine this, right?
tim tompkins
So that is how you would do it, right?
rex jones
Yeah, no, 100%.
And let's examine this.
Number one, this is someone they told us, oh, he's just a pedophile.
He's nothing, X, Y, Z, whatever.
It's known that this guy is like, he's worse than Jimmy Saville.
He's worse than all of them.
This guy's like the king daddy diddler, like out of everybody.
But people forget that it wasn't just Epstein and that it was also Gislane Maxwell, who's still very much alive and very much well.
Who knows every shit.
Met with the government, she met with the government.
The DOJ went and met with her.
I forget who it was that they sent to go meet with her.
And after that conversation, she got moved to the nicest, cushiest minimum security place ever.
And they go, look, like, you got us.
We know you got us.
We could kill you or try to kill you.
Let's just end out this game.
tim tompkins
You saw what happened to your co-partner.
rex jones
Right.
You want that to happen?
But also, I think, like, she, she, her father, Robert Maxwell, he got buried on the Mount of Olives in Israel with like highest military honors ever.
And he was like a notorious intelligence asset from her.
She's also in one of these like royal families, right?
Like, she's in one of these royal groups of people that gets the special treatment.
tim tompkins
Yep.
rex jones
And, you know, we think about Epstein.
We mention Epstein.
I mean, it's very clear from this that Ghislaine Maxwell is, she, she's, she's doing a lot of the damage here.
Like, she is also just as much of a monster, right?
This system, which took years to develop, all started with them exploiting and abusing Jane Doe, who they used as a guinea pig to refine their criminal enterprise and widen their network of additional sexual abuse victims.
Plaintiff Jane Doe is a Californian citizen at all times relevant to the suit.
There was a minor child living in Florida, New York, who was sexually abused while she was a minor by defendants in New York.
Defendant Ghislaine Maxwell, defendant Darren Ken Endike is sued in his capacity as the appointed executor of the estate of Jeffrey Epstein.
He's got a massive estate still.
It's hundreds of millions.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
And then the other Epstein estate holds.
tim tompkins
So scroll up just a little bit and you can show people at the top of this the case.
So this was a 2020 document.
And we'll also show next the uh one with Trump specifically.
rex jones
Right, we'll go to that.
tim tompkins
I don't know how this stuff has not been covered more, right?
Like I'm super confused.
Like this has been out for almost six years and we're talking about the current files of the stuff being redacted.
But you guys go look this up.
Go to justice.gov.
I'm pretty, I'm like almost positive this is like anything.gov, you can't just get this comes from our justice system.
You can't make this stuff up, right?
This has been out there for a very long time.
I just don't think enough people have been covering this, but I really want to cover this Trump one.
Let's let's go ahead and I agree.
rex jones
I want to piggyback just off of one quick comment that I saw.
Todd Blanch met with Ghislaine.
If that's true, Todd Blanch is the assistant AG.
He's also the guy that squashed any hope of us getting our case looked at.
He's a swamp creature type of op guy.
And of course, like if that's accurate, what you're saying to me in the comments, and it could not be accurate, but I believe you and I think that is true.
That's the guy that goes and meets with the worst pedophile still living on the planet.
And, you know, go play badminton now.
Like that, that's your, that's your reward.
And we can't be okay with that as a society.
We have to move to a point where these people are unelectable and in Super Max or on the death row.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
But let's go to this.
So this case, same case, same file.
This was filed first of January 17th in 2020.
Literally, we're all sitting here like going back and forth trying to figure out, well, is Trump on the Epstein list?
Is he not?
And I don't know where the hell this document came from.
rex jones
This is really sick stuff.
tim tompkins
Oh, I didn't read this.
rex jones
I'm trying to find a good starting point.
I want to take people down the saga.
tim tompkins
Okay.
rex jones
Cool with this being a longer episode.
I'm having a good, this is a good show.
tim tompkins
We're good, man.
unidentified
We're good.
ryan in mass
All right.
rex jones
So.
So, man, it's just, it's so evil.
Okay.
unidentified
All right.
rex jones
I think I found a good beginning point.
Doe was sitting alone on a bench between classes when Epstein and Maxwell approached her.
Epstein bragged to her about being a patron of the arts and giving scholarships to talented young artists like Doe.
Epstein and Maxwell probed at her at length about her background, family situation, and where she lived.
As Doe got up to leave, Epstein requested her mother's phone number back in Florida.
She was alarmed by his request, but also feared that she could not refuse the older man's request.
So she complied and provided him with the phone number.
Give him a fake number.
Come on, save yourself in Epstein.
No, come on, man.
Okay.
Several weeks later, once Doe had returned from Michigan to Florida, Epstein called Doe's home.
Epstein first spoke with Doe's mother about how he mentors young kids.
I teach the kids, man, and provide scholarships for the arts.
He requested to speak to Doe and invited her and her mother to his mansion in Palm Beach.
He sent a driver across town to pick them up.
This is like when kids sell or get sold by like their parents to like Disney or something.
It's the same model.
Over the course of the next several months, Epstein and Maxwell attempted to groom and mentor 13-year-old Jan Doe.
Epstein gave himself the name of Doe's godfather, how sick, when Maxwell acted like an older sister to her.
They took her to the movies, went shopping with her, and lounged around Epstein's estate with her.
Epstein and Maxwell then started to make sexual references when they were with her.
That's the first step.
For instance, Maxwell told Doe, this is a 13-year-old girl, that having sex with ex-boyfriends was easy because once you slept with them, they've been grandfathered and you can go back and them whenever you wanted.
That's nice for the 13-year-old.
You know, that's that's that's that's real.
tim tompkins
I almost feel like this was on the Netflix documentary and they actually explained who Jane Doe was, but I could be wrong.
rex jones
Epstein also started to slowly display his pedophilic ways when shopping with Doe and Maxwell.
Think about how creepy this is.
Like, these people are not related to you, not your parents.
Your mother is like giving you away to them, and now you're shopping for like children's underwear.
Oh, oh, dude, it's fucking gross.
Epstein also started to display the PDF file ways when shopping with Doe and Maxwell.
Instead of Doe picking out clothes she wanted to wear, Epstein insisted that she pick out and wear little children's cotton underwear.
It's so sick.
tim tompkins
So sick.
rex jones
Lord of mercy.
I'm glad he's dead.
I hope he is dead.
You know, I hope he's not like on an island somewhere.
But like, man, we lost a bad one.
I'm glad we lost this guy.
Damn.
Also, after nearly every visit with Epstein and Maxwell, Epstein sent Doe home with two or three $100 bills to give her mother since she's having a hard time and struggling as a widow.
Well, these business visits made Doe incredibly uncomfortable.
Epstein and Maxwell made her feel that she could not refuse them.
During this time, Epstein started to pay for voice lessons for Doe and insisted Doe could not advance her career in any way without him.
When Doe expressed hesitation about spending time with Epstein and Maxwell are acquiescing to their desires, Epstein and Maxwell would threaten Doe and scold her for being ungrateful.
You don't like being groomed, you're ungrateful.
It's so sick.
During one of Doe's encounters with Epstein, this gets to this.
He took her to Mar-a-Lago, where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump, introducing 14-year-old Doe now to Donald J. Trump.
Epstein elbowed Trump playfully, asking him, referring to Doe, this is a good one, right?
Like, it's like, come on, man.
And like, you can say, oh, it's not real.
It's my present.
It's not true.
Like, I believe this.
You know, just going off the interaction here, like, he's in the process of grooming and breaking and training this girl into making her whatever he wants to make her into.
And he feels safe enough and secure enough in that time to go over to someone who's also sick in the case of like not understanding how weird and monstrous that is.
Yeah.
And that, that is the problem, right?
Is because in no world should you grab a 14-year-old that you don't know just because you're rich and her mom is broke.
You start grooming her for these like malevolent intentions and whatnot.
And then you take her over to the other rich buddy to like check out the new merchandise.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
Right.
Like this is a good one, right?
Like that's what you say about like a big fish or something.
Exactly.
Like, I just, they both chuckled, or Trump smiled and nodded in agreement.
They both chuckled and Doe felt uncomfortable, but at the time was too young to understand.
tim tompkins
Smiled and nodded in agreement.
That's all I needed to know, folks.
rex jones
Yeah.
tim tompkins
You know what?
I don't, I really don't care anything else he has to say about the issue.
This was like when I read this document, I just had to read this one paragraph.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
Just conflate it.
Like, here's, here's where it gets to the point where, like, I'm like, oh, I hate conspiracy.
This is beyond trying to be a conspiracy.
This is just facts.
rex jones
It's just fact.
Like, here's the thing.
Conspiracy is totally legitimate.
They pair it with theory to make it be like, oh, you're just making stuff up, man.
Like, this is like, this is on paper conspiracy to do something.
tim tompkins
Elon has said something about it.
We're seeing photos of them together.
He was in the book of his, his, is in an address book of Trump.
Like, and now we were looking at the anecdotes from these people.
And of course, you don't want a president to get, you know, impeached for something like this.
It would be very bad for America and the whole world.
So, you know, we got to protect him at all costs.
Gots to, right?
Right.
rex jones
So, wow.
tim tompkins
This was the damning thing for me.
I don't even, I don't even need to know anything else.
rex jones
That's pretty crazy.
That's heavy stuff, guys.
I mean, whenever we talk about the Epstein stuff, I like to make a lot of things and stuff, but it does get to me because there are people that exist at a level of power, not even of money or fame or even influence that just, they have the ability to do things in the world as to where, like, you know, if someone gets arrested for something, they just walk out of there, right?
Because they're that person.
And I'm sure there's plenty of those people walking around today.
I'm sure there's more of them than we think.
And ultimately, these are the people in the halls of power.
These are the people in the halls of Congress.
These are the people that are the lobbyists and the special interests behind everything.
These are the people that own your cell phone, your data, that own the electrical grid, and they own everything.
And to them, being worth hundred millions or billions more than that, billions and billions and billions of dollars, it is to have humans.
It is just as entertaining as the show is and as fun as it is to have to battle to stay on top forever and be like the evil version of a James Bond where you're running ops and destroying lives and doing that.
I get it.
But at the end of the day, they're going to make the calculation, which they've already made.
It's much easier to just kill everybody, right?
Because if you kill everybody and there's no one left that has a remembrance of a good or positive society, then you can have your rape island with the 13-year-old.
You can do all of that that you want, right?
And I think that's the future they're pushing us towards.
And covering all this stuff is important, even though it's very disgusting because like we have to realize that evil exists, evil is real, and really evil is in charge a lot of the time.
And the hero worship of whoever's elected and whoever's in power, it's just not going to work for us anymore.
We demand results and we demand whatever the opposite of that is.
tim tompkins
Yeah, I kind of like my brain goes two ways into like just fundamentally trying to understand like these like sociopathic fucked up tendencies.
And I can only really think of two things that draw me to the conclusion why, you know, these powerful people would do something like this.
One, when you have a certain amount of wealth and you've reached a certain amount of like getting or having all the things, whether you were already born into it or whether you worked your way up, some people plateau.
rex jones
They get bored.
tim tompkins
Get bored, and then you need to figure out new higher highs to have that same adrenaline and feel like you're alive because you'll see that ends up being skinning the six-year-old.
rex jones
Seriously, though.
And when you probably have areas of the earth that only like a few hundred people know, there's that, right?
tim tompkins
And then there's other people like that's like one of the routes they go for debauchery.
And then the other one is like you got like the George Soros type of motherfuckers who just want to like destroy the planet and just push a bunch of bad things and collapse markets because that's like where they get their adrenaline rush from.
And then the other route I see is like people who rise to the top rise to the top for a reason.
It's not everybody.
There's some really good people out there that are not like speaking for on a on a big platform, but are very powerful in themselves because if they've worked on themselves, what I'm trying to say here is there is a pathway of people who have the only thing I can say is like not psychopathic tendencies, but they have a certain thing in their brain that is off that allows them to fundamentally rise.
Because if you're different, you can actually break from the pack and be at the top.
rex jones
I agree.
I think that's intelligence, right?
I think that goes a lot of different ways and there's a lot of different kinds of it.
I would just say like to you have to be willing to like, if you go to Ivy League, Ivy League school and you graduate, like, what is it like Sama Cum Ladre or like, what's the top fucking like valedictorian?
Yeah.
If you, if you, if you're the valedictorian at Harvard, you probably had to do some cutthroat shit to yeah, there's some people that that genuinely get it for pure merit and they're just like grinding, but there are there is well it takes both, right?
I don't think you get there just purely off of like, maybe you do if you're the smartest person on earth or whatever.
Most of the time, we end up with people that are very mid in these political positions because they're good.
They're good at grifting.
They're good at scamming.
tim tompkins
They're good at fraud.
They like live by the 48 laws of power and the art of seduction to reach the top because often than not, trying to go about it in a broken system that's already like where it's at to rise to the top, you might have to do some really messed up things in order to reach there.
And so they're willing to do things that other people fundamentally who have morals aren't willing to do.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
So they get all the power and then they're up there.
And that's not everybody, but there is a population that has that.
rex jones
There's a highly significant portion that does that.
And like that, that's what we've been dealing with for a very long time.
But let's let's get into the money because the money is always very important.
tim tompkins
Gotta follow the money.
rex jones
And I had a quick point that I wanted to make, and then we'll get into the variable pricing and the massive frauds going on there.
I know you have a lot that you want to talk about and present today, but let's check this out because I always rack California.
California, I think they're in a trillion dollars of debt to the U.S. crazy.
tim tompkins
They were in surplus at one point.
I don't know what the hell happened.
rex jones
They made a lot of bad decisions.
They built like six bathrooms for like 300 million or something like that one time.
But Elon Musk questions California's $24 billion homeless spending.
A 2024 state audit confirmed California agencies spent about $24 billion on homelessness programs from 2019 to 2023, but criticized poor trafficking of outcomes and effectiveness.
The homeless count rose from 151,000 in 2019 to 181,000 in 2024 amid high housing costs, mental health issues, and fentanyl overdoses.
Billy 2025 data shows declines in areas like Los Angeles County.
Musk called nonprofits funded per homeless person on a perverse incentive, or he called nonprofits funded per homeless person on a perverse incentive and a scam sparking replies, pushing for outcome-based funding and more oversight as Newsome, Newscombe, often very bad.
Highlights drops in veteran homelessness and new mess new methods.
tim tompkins
You pay organizations per homeless person, you get more homeless people.
And the NGOS what is this?
Oh sorry, I missed it.
It says, and the NGOS fight hard to maximize the homeless population.
There's some truth to it a little bit.
rex jones
Well yeah, I mean, you get paid more money.
I mean I, I just hold on, i'm gonna, i'm gonna go ahead and do something.
tim tompkins
My, my brain goes to, uh, if you solve the problem, then how do you make money anymore?
Like that's your job right, like if you're making a cushy 200 000 a year to solve the problem of homelessness and and part of it could be the problem is so big that it's very hard to solve it in certain aspects.
But I think there is a fundamental part to it where it's like, look, there is a incentive not to speed things up to solve those problems, because then the well runs dry and they're like, well, why do we need to pour 28 billion into this or 24 billion dollars into this program?
A lot of people lose their paychecks man, that that's.
That's part of the story as well, right?
rex jones
I mean, I just like, and this isn't even a good video i'm about to throw up it's just very brief video, but they spend all this money, they spend 23 billion and then they still got a place that looks like this.
tim tompkins
I've been here man, it's, it's disgusting.
rex jones
That's it Skid Row.
tim tompkins
I walked actually on skid.
Stupid of me.
I've walked on skid row just like walking around with my bike.
unidentified
Now, I did it in the daylight, I wasn't stupid enough to do it at night.
tim tompkins
But when I tell you, it is like I went into another country.
It was the strangest experience I have ever had.
Talk about that I I think this was like two, three years ago.
I I was like you know what, let's just go to Skid Row.
I was in La, I was like it.
I've never, i've never, i've never really seen like.
I see homeless people around in other cities, but like i've never seen an entire life.
rex jones
I want to see legendary pokemon.
Yeah, I choose.
tim tompkins
You crack it on the street and it's like, what's the hold on, hold on, let's have a little fun here.
rex jones
I know you want to get, I know you want to get into your because uh, you tell me yours, i'll tell you mine.
What's the craziest person you've seen on the street?
It's like appearance, behavior.
All of it comes into, comes into.
What's the craziest thing you've seen.
tim tompkins
I think the crazy thing i've seen is like the guy who gets the insane leans to the point where he looks like he did tetris and he's just like, and it's like, how are you standing?
rex jones
That's less common here.
I've seen that a few times.
I I liked the guy that used to just sit out and I, I assume, smoke cracker meth.
Uh, on the Man Chat under under the Man Check intersection in Austin Texas, right by South Lamar.
This was like right after Covet.
This is like 2021.
They weren't clearing the homeless anywhere.
They had like three-story tents, basically tents stacked higher than the tents in that video that we played.
And this guy this was like a giant, like 350, 400 pound black dude, and he would sit out in this giant like leather armchair, just like on the side of the road, and he would drink Crown Royale and he would smoke out of his crack pipe and like I was like okay, all right, this is America now.
I guess, like no one removed him for months, He just he literally just lived on that corner.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
And even on, even on Skid Row, there was stuff like that.
You saw people taking power from the power lines, drawing it.
They had like an entire guy had a couch.
I like peered inside one of them.
Guy had a couch, a TV, nice little setup.
I'm like, what the?
I was literally, I literally felt like I was in another city.
And the thing is, that is so crazy about this, guys, is it goes on for blocks and blocks and blocks.
And you could walk like seven blocks and you're going to see homeless people along every single one of those.
And they're all just living in this like weird ass system that's just completely in downtown LA, by the way, it's like, it's like a, it's like a door threshold.
You go to, you get to one street over and you're like in the normal realm of life all of a sudden.
I don't know how that happens.
I don't know what the fuck, but you're talking about like a place that's less than 30 seconds walking distance completely changes to like a normal thing.
And I don't know how these two things are conflated together.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
So right.
rex jones
And I didn't mean to get you too far off topic, but my point being like money isn't even real at this point because you'd think with 23 billion, we should do an analysis later of like how many raw supplies could you get?
How much housing could you get?
How much food could you get?
It's it's a theft game.
They get given the grant and the grifter agencies come in and they're the worst people on the earth.
There's probably some like eco-friendly like needle exchange where it goes, we want all the contracts so we can help all the people.
We're going to take four.
tim tompkins
Well, in San Francisco, that's what they were doing.
They're like, give them the whole, give them the needles.
You got to help them out.
Do it safely.
rex jones
The only thing is like they're getting paid.
They're getting paid to do it.
The solution to the problem is to the people on the street that are using.
And this is, this is a tough take.
This is a heavy take.
There are people that need rehab and there are people that need to be in a mental asylum.
All right.
And there's a lot more people that need to be in rehab for sure.
And I'm not discounting.
Like, it must be a horrific experience.
And I've come off substances and I know what it's like.
I cannot imagine sweating or freezing on the street, just dealing with detox and whatever.
And I pray for those people.
Lord, have mercy on those people.
I hope that they find the help and relief they need and that they can get off the drug.
A lot of these people are just fucking nuts.
tim tompkins
And it's a lot of money, though, to take care of people and provide staff that have to deal with it.
rex jones
But we're talking about money.
And if we got all this money to do all this shit, look, I don't like the guy bashing his head into my passenger side, not passenger side, into my like cab side mirrors.
My dog is in there and my dog is traumatized now.
And if anyone comes up to the car, my dog wants to kill him.
tim tompkins
Is there?
Wait, really?
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
Yeah.
And this is, this is the type of thing you have to deal with with like a violent population like that, which is why I think that they should be in a rubber room.
Because if you're like leering at people and you're smashing your head into everyone's like side windshield at the McDonald's, like that, that is, that is the only time I didn't point it at him or anything like that.
That's the only time I've ever used a defensive display of a firearm.
Be like, you need, you need to leave now.
You're threatening me.
You're trying to break inside my vehicle.
tim tompkins
I will fuck around, find out.
rex jones
I will kill you.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
And that's a hard calculation for people to make because people are like, people are nice, need second chance, blah, Some people want to rape, murder, kill you, rob you, or some combination of that.
tim tompkins
Yeah, I think fundamentally you're correct on the mental part.
I think a lot of it comes down to a mental.
Here's the thing.
I don't know.
There's some people that you can always say, well, no one's past the point of no return, but there is a cost, a sunk cost fallacy when it comes to some of these things to where like you felt like you've already poured this much.
You just keep pouring it.
The thing is, it's very hard to solve something where somebody has taken so many drugs where they fried the logical part.
So you could throw, you'd have to do, you'd have to treat it like a prison where you put all of them in there and you and you keep them there and they have to like somehow prove that that they're sane again to be able to function.
If you just grow them in a 30-day cycle, they're going to go back out and do it again.
rex jones
I totally agree with you.
And like, that's why I believe that like sanitariums and stuff like that, they're useful and they shouldn't be gotten rid of in the way that we did in the 60s, 70s, and 80s just because people were being abusive in there.
If we were able to run it with modern technique that was proper and patient focused and focused on recovery and getting people better, I'm sorry, you don't get to leave until you're sober.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
And the last thing I'll say about that is there are literally a ton of people that want to stay homeless because they don't have to abide.
It's the ecosystem and they don't have to abide by certain rules that these food shelters and sheltered and places where you could go get help and stuff like that.
They have rules that don't fit in the conformity of what they want to live with their lifestyle.
There are people with family members that are out there that have ability to get home and sheltered with their family, but they're just doing bad things that they can't facilitate with these normalities of normal life.
And they're not fitting within that confine.
rex jones
That's right.
tim tompkins
So there's those issues at the same time.
So the issue is much bigger than, you know, we can just boil it down.
But look, at some point, I don't, I don't know.
I just, I don't know what the, I don't know what the answer is to this one.
rex jones
I got that like socialist sickness, man.
I just, I keep thinking about a government where instead of spending a trillion on defense and God knows how much subsidizing every other evil thing in the world, what if we just bought food for our people?
tim tompkins
That, that, seriously.
rex jones
Like, I can't get back on that.
Like, like, we got people.
I, I was, I don't know her status or whatever.
Like, I, I, I assume that she was here illegally or whatnot because like it's like a Mexican lady and her child on the street, right?
And like they're, they're like the little, like the, the two-year-old is holding up a sign.
And I don't care if that person is from Mexico and needs food.
unidentified
And like people go, oh, that's Porto Mo.
rex jones
That's what I say.
I'm like, ultimately, like, are we Christian beings?
And this is like people lashed out at Rogan for his critique of the ice raids and the ice operations, right?
And he was like, I didn't vote for this.
And I would say I voted for it, but I didn't vote for nameless, faceless goons to go snatch people out of cars at the end of the day.
I didn't vote.
tim tompkins
I didn't grabbing the wrong people.
rex jones
So that's the thing.
And just kind of having the modus operandi of like, we are right, you are wrong.
We will do whatever and we'll sort it out at the end.
And it's that mentality that I think, you know, I've, I've, I'm negative on America in the short term, and on the long term, I'm pretty positive because I think the youth is going to come out of this.
There's just going to be a moment where a bunch of these boomers just like dust in the wind.
And then there will actually be a chance because these big old power brokers, they'll have croaked.
And the people that will take their places, I'm sorry.
I'm look, I'm a copy.
I'm not an original.
The copy is not as good as the original.
I was telling, I'm telling you this, like, just as a fact of life, if you got one guy, like a George Soros, that's like a pro at doing his job.
And oh, now the son's here and he's evil too or whatever.
No, no one's ever going to be as good as the guy that figured it out the first time.
tim tompkins
Hey, don't, don't discredit yourself.
rex jones
No, it's just, it's a metaphysical thing, right?
Because there's a source of originality, good or evil, that like you can't rep just because you can be tied to it in a legacy way, but it's not yours.
You don't own it.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
I mean, the thing that caused it to grow into that, the variables that went into the equation are different.
rex jones
Yeah, no, the outcome has to be different.
You're standing on a giant shoulder, but it's up to you to not fall down.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
But that's the thing.
It's just we see people, especially in the modern age, a lot of people are incompetent.
Like, I'm a gobbledyling.
I need to learn a lot more.
We all should consider ourselves like Socrates, I know that I know nothing.
But let's get into this story because this did very well on X, just the price gouging story in general.
And then just going into the specifics of it, because when you spend money, especially online, this is why I'm trying to get back to using primarily cash.
When you spend money with cards and you do all this stuff, it's the rush fees.
It's all that it's the variable pricing.
It's the stuff you see with the digital tags in the store where it literally go up in Walmart.
I've seen that.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
We're getting into a new age.
It's already here.
It's kind of here to stay.
We have to talk about these things so that you're aware because there's certain things that like they kind of get like baked in there slowly to where it like happens over a progression of years to where you didn't even know it's happening to you.
And I did a post probably about like a week or two ago on Instacart and what they're doing with their dynamic pricing, but it goes past Instacart.
It goes to fundamental of the whole system of how it's working and how AI can be used for some really great things and some really interesting things that people can use for their own benefit that may not benefit you at home.
So we're going to get into this dynamic pricing thing and we'll do a deep dive explaining how this system works, what you need to know, why it's happening in the first place, and will it affect you.
And so we'll get back with that.
We're going to do a little cut real quick and we will be back shortly as I get prepared for this.
unidentified
Okay.
rex jones
All right.
We're going to do that.
And you know what?
I think we don't want to go ahead and launch calls and have it ticking and waiting, do we?
Have it spending the money?
tim tompkins
Well, not yet.
I mean, we'll get that.
No, you don't want to do that.
All right.
We'll do it after this segment.
ryan in mass
Yeah.
tim tompkins
We'll go ahead and bottom left.
We'll be back, guys.
rex jones
All right, we're back now.
We're back.
unidentified
We got we got uh I'm the deliman, the deliman Tim.
tim tompkins
I am the deliman.
rex jones
Prices been going up.
You've been putting a little thumb on the scale.
tim tompkins
I've been out here changing your prices, boy.
rex jones
Yeah, I bet.
I bet.
tim tompkins
I'm out here in the aisles changing everything in real time.
You want meat?
You want that grass-fed?
You're gonna pay fifty dollars at my store.
For ribbon, you're gonna pay fifty dollars at my store.
Guess that's believe.
unidentified
So, guys, what the is happening here, hold on all right for you, my friend.
rex jones
Very good price, very good price.
unidentified
Plugging in the wrong thing here.
rex jones
It's all good, it's all right, we have fun on the show, look.
tim tompkins
So here i'm back, dynamic pricing.
So I did mention this before, but we kind of take some of these things for granted, um of what we have in today's age, and there are these little things called price tags.
And the price tag wasn't always a thing, guys like.
Price tag is a very powerful thing that we just it's so minute, but we we don't understand the gravity of it, because it it keeps consistency, especially when you're in a store and you see an item.
It takes a lot of work to change that one sticker across everything, so there's no guesswork and you know exactly what the price is right.
And we grew up in this new normal because and i'm pretty sure most of the people I this has been going on since the 1900s as well.
But if you backtrack to the 1800s uh, pricing was a little bit different.
So this is, uh, i've got a little game I want to play here.
Um, during that time period, there were no standard prices in the 1800s okay um, clerks actually set the prices in real time and those prices depended on certain things.
So i've got three items here for you.
Rex, you're going to play this game with me and everybody's going to sit here and watch okay okay, let's play a game okay you're you're, you're shopping at my store, all right, and you are going to ask me for the price of each one of these, because i'm the clerk, I set the price.
There's no price tag on it.
But you want these three items?
rex jones
Yeah, I want, I want this, good price okay.
tim tompkins
So you want bottled water?
rex jones
Want bottled water?
Good price.
tim tompkins
All right, this guy wants bottled water.
unidentified
Uh, line is pretty long.
tim tompkins
I'm seeing a a long line.
Um, ten dollars, ten dollars.
rex jones
Why do I have to say ten dollars?
It's a long?
tim tompkins
Well, because there's a long line there and I got a lot of people waiting in line and if I don't have anywhere else to shop, that's the price I have to pay.
Ten dollars, take it.
rex jones
Next item, all right, i'd like to buy the.
Buy this uh, magical tincture, this methylene blue, this.
unidentified
This is what he wants guys, let me see.
tim tompkins
Oh, that's, a nice watch there.
Oh, you look like you could afford this.
Oh, hundred dollars yeah, hundred dollars guys you you, you buy, you buy.
You look like you got money, you buy, good price, good price.
rex jones
Third item, sleep supplement.
I might, might want this to let myself go to sleep, do you do?
tim tompkins
You have trouble sleeping at night a little bit yeah okay well, you kind of need this, so i'll give you good deal.
One thousand dollars oh, but you have a deal.
rex jones
They target the target based off a need.
Right, and that's how they change the scene.
tim tompkins
So in the 1800s, this is how it worked, guys.
Look how the price depended on how busy your store was.
Time of day could determine it.
You had the clerk that just like, sized you up.
Looked, you go in there with the Rolex.
Um, he's like oh, he can afford more, let's charge him more.
And also was about how badly you needed the item.
Now I Know how they always determine that, but if you look at a guy who's very sick and goes in there for some medicine, like I could probably charge him more because he doesn't want to spend the time going shopping.
rex jones
But then you get to the thing of like, this is not efficient with full-blown quick capitalism because eventually the monopolies they start setting the prices for everyone, right?
tim tompkins
So then let's pull up this picture of what ended up happening.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
And like I said, it is something so minute and so small.
It's the second image there.
Um, it is so small to us, but it was super important.
Like, imagine you going into a store and having all the things that you fundamentally like need and just not knowing what it's going to cost.
And this is one of the reasons why food was so expensive back then and all these other variables.
But we took this for granted.
This is this was invented, and the sticker, I forget what the original name of it, but this guy invented like this, um, this removable, like gooey substance paper, and that wasn't something that was there before.
That made it made SKUs possible, yeah, it made SKUs possible, it made pricing possible, and this was in the best interest because a lot of people were complaining about how the pricing works and that there needed to be consistency among the market in itself.
Otherwise, you could have a lot of issues where, depending on demand and all the variables that go on, it's just not conducive even for the businesses.
So we move to this, right?
Where let's see, catching my train of thought here.
So the question is, is like, all right, well, if two different customers can pay for the same item and pay different prices, and there's no way to compare it, we've got this mechanism now in which there's one price, one item, same deal for everyone, and the price is fixed stay fixed for the entire time.
Then why are we getting to the point where this system doesn't work?
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
And it doesn't make any sense.
But price tags were really about the fairness and competition.
Now, we look at today and we're trying to figure out: okay, well, what are the ways that we price things now?
And so over time, we have gone from this ambiguity to now a little bit more of a solid system.
And now we're transitioning into another system in which you've got modern day practices.
And here is one of the most illegal ways that they were doing this.
And this surrounds something called rent.
And it's around software in which they're able to price your software of your rent in a specific way in which you pay to benefit the owner.
So let's go ahead and watch this video real quick so that people understand how this is a pretty illegal way.
unidentified
Now, back in the price tag days, collusion took a lot of effort.
The bosses had to sit around a table with their competitors and smoke a cigarette and agree to raise prices without getting caught.
rex jones
Old school price.
unidentified
But today, with pricing algorithms, collusion is just a few clicks away.
When a bunch of individual companies sign up for the same algorithm, they can effectively collude without ever talking to each other.
Just look at what happened with RealPage.
Software firm RealPage is accused of scheming with landlords to keep rents high.
Landlords subscribing to the service would input data about their apartments, including location, square footage, and amenities.
The algorithm would tell them how much to charge for rent.
But the algorithm wasn't designed to determine the market price.
It was designed to maximize landlord profits.
So it did all the things that would have been done in a backdoor deal with an ease that old-fashioned colluders could only dream of.
It advised landlords to price their apartments above the market rate.
And if demand was falling, it told landlords to leave apartments empty rather than reducing rents.
The company boasted that their algorithm raised 3% to 7%.
The scheme impacted over 3% across the country.
tim tompkins
Especially in real estate.
rex jones
That's a key number.
And like, I'll just pause right there.
That 3% number, whenever you hear that, that's statistically significant.
And that means like 3% of people is all it takes to conquer a country, for example.
These are big numbers.
unidentified
And as a result, Americans were overcharged by billions of dollars.
Now, the good news is that this model is likely illegal.
In fact, the Justice Department sued RealPage.
That's classic price fixing.
Earlier this week, RealPage settled the case, agreeing to change it.
tim tompkins
So you know what happened?
rex jones
Merritt Garland, Biden appointed corrupt, we're moving this out.
I veto it now.
Like, this is the exact type of thing they overtear, that they will overturn.
tim tompkins
Oh, 100%.
But you see, like when a company settles, they essentially say, hey, we were guilty of this thing.
We'd rather not drag this out to where you make it worse for us.
So we'll just give you a little bit of money, slap on the wrist, and we'll just adjust it.
But that doesn't mean it's gone.
Now, this is one of the illegal ways, and we can kind of get rid of this here.
There are more legal ways of adjusting prices.
And one of the normal things that we have seen that actually works in benefit of the consumer is gas stations.
So you see those digital signs on the gas station in which you've got the gas station right on this corner and the gas station right across the street.
rex jones
You can see that they compete.
tim tompkins
And it all comes down to you're going to whatever gas station typically offers you the lowest price, right?
On a normal basis.
That's typically what most people do.
And it's why it compensates.
Not just the price of oil is a thing that goes into this because that is a big driving factor as well.
But also these companies have to compete between each other and no one can just have their gas go up to $4 a gallon when somebody was doing it for $230 down the street because that's where all the business goes.
So at that point where there's not really the, there's an algorithm that calculates.
So they can lower and compete naturally, but raising prices collectively, that's the, it messes up the system for everybody, but no one does that in the gas industry.
So now there's a point where, you know, not everybody's really undercutting as much anymore because you can't go past a certain low, uh, low where it's not profitable for you, where you're just giving people gas for free.
So at that point, you're looking at like the prices stabilize at that point.
Now, the thing that I did post about and that people need to pay attention to was the Instacart situation.
This is another way in which this is, this hasn't really been caught yet.
This is the beginning of the what I could see as like being a huge issue for the American consumer.
rex jones
Do you want to play it?
tim tompkins
Yeah, we'll go ahead and play this because the thing about Instacart is they're playing with these AI algorithms that do a dynamic pricing depending on your shopping behavior.
And again, technology moves faster than regulation.
And that is the biggest issue with a lot of these things is you get enough and you get away with it doing it long enough because you've invented the technology so quickly that legislation, they take forever to agree on these certain things.
rex jones
So you've already made money.
It's the same thing whenever someone makes a research chemical and they go, boom, that's illegal now.
And someone just adds a carbon to it and it's a completely new thing.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
The way the government doesn't have like a blanket ambiguous power to be like, all these things are no good.
It has to be like this specific category of this thing in this state is not allowed and banned by this law.
That's generally how it works.
And that's how people are able to game the system.
They just invent a new way and then it takes a lot longer for that to get banned.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
Let's play the video.
unidentified
Ahead.
Same store, same items when pickup wasn't available, same delivery address.
I've never seen screenshot everything submit.
The team verified every entry, cross-checked every screenshot, built the database.
Katy crunched the data and when the data came back, I gotta be honest, I stared at it for a while because what we found, uh I I didn't give you guys background story because this is part of a larger segment in itself.
tim tompkins
These people, as well as some third parties, did a very good job of researching this price action.
They had to, they did it on a smaller scale, and then they eventually got like 400 plus volunteers to all do this mass thing where they all download the same app for Instacart.
They all order to the same place like he talks about, orders the same items, and they wanted to track over a large enough sample size to see what happens.
And then this is what happens.
rex jones
Fascinating.
unidentified
It was weird.
I'm going to show you some basketball.
Some people were charged about $114 for the 20 items.
Others, nearly 124.
This wasn't in one or two cases.
This was the lion's share of shoppers for the lion's share of items.
If you zoom in, nearly three out of four products had different prices during the experiments.
Four different prices for wheat fins.
What the?
Five different prices for eggs.
rex jones
Yeah, this should be illegal.
It should be illegal in the same way with a doctor.
And this is like one of the craziest facts that I've learned on the gray area.
And to anyone criticizing these deep dives, like you just need to listen and like learn a lot because I've learned a lot.
The doctor's like, oh, I decide how much the operation is.
There's no guideline or minimum or maximum for me to charge.
And it's the same thing.
Why is it legal?
Well, people in Congress have been lobbied to let this continue.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
Well said.
That's all there is to it.
unidentified
Wait, what?
The system sorted people into prices.
rex jones
You look at this and it's like, oh, nickel and diamond.
Yeah, that's how you conquer.
tim tompkins
By the way, these 50 cent things seem like minuscule, but you expound that over a million people.
50 cents for a million people is a lot of money for these companies.
rex jones
And by the way, a lot of money for the people too.
unidentified
I mean, think about it.
rex jones
What is just above the poverty line?
tim tompkins
Poverty line right now is about $31,000, I believe.
rex jones
Okay.
So I'm not good at math.
31 divided by 12, roughly.
tim tompkins
I need a calculator for that.
I may be the engineer, but I am not that good at math.
rex jones
Reliance on the evil machine.
tim tompkins
All right.
So I want to make sure that you're saying 31 divided by what?
12?
unidentified
Yeah.
All right.
tim tompkins
That's 2.5, about 2.5, 2.6.
rex jones
31,000.
tim tompkins
Oh, 31,000.
My bad.
Divided by 12?
rex jones
Yeah, divided by 12.
tim tompkins
All right.
You're looking at 2,500.
rex jones
So you're bringing in like $2,500 a month.
You're struggling.
You have a car payment.
You have a tiny apartment that you're sharing with three other people.
And they're taking another two wallet every month.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
And the less of an impact, but there's enough people that live below a certain level.
Cause it's not.
rex jones
That's a straw that broke the camel's back thing.
100%.
That's how I see it.
tim tompkins
And the whole thing is, if you look at it, if everything else goes up and your rent goes up, then you're going and shopping for food.
You can't really afford that $400 different.
rex jones
No, and you can't.
And they say when people, when they start spending 50% of their money on food and energy, they revolt.
It's just like, this society isn't working for me anymore.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
And this is why I've always said, like, being able to go to the 7-Eleven and chill out is a very powerful thing.
You know, just like being able to be in a society that still functions to the level of like, you can go in there, you can afford to get a drink and other people can't too.
And like, we're going to lose that.
unidentified
Each person was charged the same for every item.
For this test, there were four price groups.
Same cart, same store, same moment.
Same with this test.
For this store, seven different price groups.
This didn't seem random, but who or what was doing the sorting?
Back in August, before we even ran the test, I called Instacart.
We don't set prices.
Retailers do.
And we believe them.
But the group suggested something deeper was going on.
Why would an algorithm sort people into buckets where everyone pays the exact same prices?
Yep.
Not just on one item, but across multiple products, all higher together, all lower together.
I started researching and that's when I stumbled on targeting shoppers.
Companies tracking your behavior, your purchase history, and charging you based on that.
It's a type of companies tracking your behavior, your purchase history, and charging you based on that.
It's a type of algorithmic pricing where companies hand pricing over to an algorithm.
rex jones
When did you vote for that?
When did we vote for this?
When did we say, oh, this is what we've decided is the American people?
No, the billionaires decided it and the politicians, they all go, shit, yeah.
tim tompkins
I'm telling you, these things happen like in subtle ways.
Think about how you use Uber.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
Uber, you assume, well, I'm going a certain distance and I can't really tell what other people are going and how far they're going.
They do surge pricing for a reason.
They go based off of how much you're willing to pay as well.
And it's a dynamic pricing model.
And so people have naturally been exposed to the way Uber works to where they're accustomed to that price fluctuating.
You become more tolerant for other things.
rex jones
That's a great point.
And like that, that's how they roll all these systems in, right?
And I mean, like, that's, that's like Twitter engagement.
tim tompkins
It's been happening without us even realizing.
And I did not really clock this thing because I'm kind of one of those people where I'm lucky enough where I just kind of like go in, buy the thing that I want.
And then it's like, okay, whatever.
Because it's hard to budget.
rex jones
It's even darker because they go, look, we know people still want to buy and that they have less money.
Let's find out the exact to the cent number of what you're willing to pay.
Yeah, of what you're, of what we can get from you.
From you.
That's what it's what we can get from you.
You look at the Amazon trucks too.
I mean, it's just like, it's the evil smile.
Like that you couldn't, you couldn't make it up in a comic book, the stuff that these people do.
unidentified
It's almost impossible for people outside the companies practicing the art, the dark art of algorithm price determination, exactly what is driving those algorithms to set the prices that we observe.
Len Sherman studies this at Columbia Business School.
Was that what was happening here?
When we showed Instacart the test results, they were clear.
Retailers control all pricing.
The findings were just stores putting out random fielders to see where the pricing sweet spot is.
They aren't targeting you specifically.
So we verified with the stores we tested.
First, Albertson Safeway.
They're an Instacart partner.
Silence.
Then we contacted Target.
They responded.
And honestly, my jaw dropped.
They told us, we don't work with Instacart.
We don't set prices.
We have nothing to do with any of this.
Wait, Instacart says retailers control the prices and Target says they don't even work with Instacart?
I started digging.
Turns out in 2017, Target spent over half a billion dollars to buy shipped, Instacart's competitor.
Why would they help Instacart?
We asked Instacart about Target's response.
Instacart admitted they actually do manage Target's prices on the marketplace and that they were running tests.
rex jones
That's illegal.
tim tompkins
That should be illegal.
rex jones
Literally, you have another company coming in, probably trying to do a better job.
They go, oh, we'll just buy you because we own everything.
And this is the thing I make the point about just the money being fake.
Like 550 million?
Who cares?
Like, we got, we got that a thousand times over.
tim tompkins
They do that because those companies have an ecosystem already built out to where it's easier for them to acquire the company, take in all of their assets, like drivers, technology, than for Target to try to spin up their own thing.
And that's why acquisitions.
But what he's saying here is super important because he's saying, well, Instacart is, they're changing their narrative in this email.
I don't know who's behind the narrative and who's out here having these conversations and trying to post, but these guys are in big doo-doo because they're not doing a good job of these smoke screens because they're putting themselves into these honey traps.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
But they also know like infinite legal team, infinite money, government support.
It's reached a point where the people at the top are literally doing like the Fortnite like L dance at you and like na na boo boo because like what are you what are you gonna do?
And this is why like not even being Doomer really being White Pills like looking forward to being young and getting to experience the future where I hope we got to see a change from this because people are people are just too pissed off.
But I hope that doesn't mean we live in commi land.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
And that's the problem.
tim tompkins
Now, I mean, like, here's the thing: the thing I can agree with when you're taking an Instacart situation and you're going to go shopping for the convenience of having somebody pick up your groceries, ship them to your house, and there's a whole logistics that goes into there.
Yes, pricing should be given for those particular services that you're paying for.
You want to pay for convenience that's on your own dime and you don't want to go in the grocery store.
What I do not agree with is you creating a number on top of what the original real estate, I mean, sorry, what the retail price of what that person who made the product set.
Because at that point, that's not going to the retail person.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
That's going to the person who set that price.
And there's that difference.
rex jones
Well, it's reverse discounting.
That's what it is.
Because to discount a product, if I have a product and I sell it for $39 and we discount it and we sell it for 25% off at that 29, if we do that, we make that calculation, ultimately we're passing on savings to other people.
But then vice versa, if you have a $39.99 product and you add an extra 20 cents to it because you have a forensic analysis of the person and their shopping habits, and then you know they'll pay more, that should be illegal.
tim tompkins
Yeah, because you're literally, people are habitual in nature.
They don't know how certain things they don't have access to certain information.
And there's an ignorance that you are relying on for that person to not notice and get more money.
Very true.
So people who don't use Instacart and who don't shop online are like, well, why do I have to worry?
I've got the price tag.
I go into the store, I see a price and I know what I'm paying for when I go into the car.
And I'll notice if my thing goes up $10 all of a sudden.
But Rex, can you please pull up this image for everybody to see?
What is happening?
I'm just starting to see these.
You're starting to see them.
rex jones
I've seen these in Walmart.
unidentified
Okay.
rex jones
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Okay.
rex jones
I went to Walmart to buy a CD player.
tim tompkins
They didn't have already here, guys.
Zoom in on this guy here.
rex jones
I'm going to.
tim tompkins
This right here.
Pay attention, people.
This is a digital price tag.
This is something that is run by a software in which you can upload the price at once.
This is coming to a store near you.
If it hasn't already there, it is coming.
And the thing is, there's an do something like this.
Okay.
So here's how price right now as they stand with these paper tags, it could take you can't just change them all of a sudden, right?
It requires labor, it requires manpower, and they can only really be updated like once a week, at most once per day, because you have to literally have somebody go over there.

Well, the inventory, the way it would work, it would be, it is so insane that if you have a palette of something, you're trying to bring out like a palette of TVs or whatnot.
And if you have to put those all and set them up all for display, you've got to make sure that each individual sticker is on there and that you put it on there and that it's set and ready to go versus this.
They can just have a digital tag for everything.
Doesn't even have to be a tag for a specific product.
That's just a chip.
tim tompkins
And you're like the gas station guy who no longer go up there and put the physical signs anymore.
Have you ever noticed that?
Now it's a guy who's at the who's at the counter for the gas station and just goes setting a price and he no longer has to do that.
rex jones
And this is why, like, I'm not talking about being Amish or anything, but like certain Luddite and like Mennonite tendencies definitely run in me.
Like I like technology a lot, obviously.
But when it comes down to it, like certain shit should be illegal.
I'm sorry.
It's convenient.
It's good.
It's good.
tim tompkins
I don't think the concept of the digital, the digital like price tag is bad in itself.
rex jones
It's how the people move it at their will whenever they want.
tim tompkins
It's all about how the technology is being used.
That is where the fundamentals break down.
Because at the end of the day, I would rather not have to have an employee spend an entire day where I have to pay him to do something like this and change out every single one.
rex jones
Story of convenience and reliability and being able to do good business and whatnot.
There's also the reality of the little African child digging around in the pit for the lithium to make all the batteries.
So like it's multi-layered.
tim tompkins
Multi-layered.
rex jones
Like that's why we say on the show, like there really aren't any good or bad guys.
It's all kind of a gray area.
We got to try to find the truth in the middle.
And with what you're saying here, Tim, it's just, it's another example of how no matter how much, how skeletal and broken down the American public is just kind of as an entity, they are still finding new and innovative ways to just like grind the last bit of change out of people.
tim tompkins
Now, if you and is that not insulting?
It is insulting to our intelligence.
Now, if you guys, we're going to do something fun here.
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
We're going to look at the website, not website, sorry, technology that these companies and these grocery stores are using in order to do this price checking.
And we're just going to kind of like browse around and pretend like we are one of the companies out here.
We are the gray area of grocery.
Yeah, this is correct.
So Revionics is one of these companies that offer AI solutions for retail price optimization.
And they are the ones that help create the algorithms that can determine algorithms based off of sales velocity, inventory, time of day, local demand, competitor prices.
And it just takes out the middleman to actually do all of that.
Now, we're not going to talk to an expert here in the top right corner, but what we are going to do is just kind of scroll down and shop around.
And all we do is save retail pricing challenges.
rex jones
Our business is built on delivering meaningful value, extracting value from customers to retailers dealing with the complex challenges pricing and merchandising teams face every day.
From affinity and cannibalization to long life cycle items and inflation, things you can't sell.
Revionic solutions, science and staff led the industry by optimizing prices in a way that we help each client achieve their unique strategic objectives.
I just, I like doing the plantation owner voice for that shit.
We're just trying to make a little bit of money with the ethics of our problems.
Trying to help them.
The ethics, they are an issue.
We're treating the American public like they are financial slaves to extract wealth from, but it's all right because we're a good company.
But you got a nice website.
tim tompkins
Proven pricing solutions, more accurate decision, enhance your outcomes.
rex jones
Make more money, more accurate decisions on filtering through people and charging who they like, like deciding who gets to have pay more and who gets to pay less.
Just like not on trying to save them any money or give them a deal, but just to extract value from customers that you know want to buy, finding that range where they can't actually get to a purchase, and then proven pricing solutions.
They have a whole system around right.
Let's see, it's all scroll.
tim tompkins
Let's watch this.
rex jones
It's all friendly.
tim tompkins
Let's go ahead and watch this.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
tim tompkins
How powerful life cycle pricing.
Optimization solutions.
unidentified
Look at it.
tim tompkins
Do you see that?
unidentified
Power proprietary best in retail AI.
I feel like I'm watching my guy documentary backed by unparalleled industry expertise.
Accurately predict the impact of everyday pricing decision.
All right.
Actively, just a little bit of rewind.
rex jones
These are the points.
Accurately predict the impact of every pricing decision.
That sounds nice.
It's framed and coded from the perspective of talking about the consumer, like they're showing someone buying.
But accurately predicting the impact of every pricing decision means getting the extra cents out of people.
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
So here, like, okay, there's B2B and B2C.
B2B is business to business.
B2C is business to customer.
And a lot of the things that you go around and shop for is B2C because that business is selling to you as the customer.
rex jones
These B2B, right?
tim tompkins
They don't really think about the end customer as much.
They're mostly focused on providing solutions to issues.
Now, these men, these businesses that are using these algorithms, they have some issues, right?
It's not the fact that it doesn't take a lot of labor and manpower to go and physically change these things and that there aren't issues, which I will cover what some of the things of why a company might want something like this.
But the problem is, is that there isn't really a vetting of the ultimate impact of it.
So when you say accurately predict the impact of every pricing decision, that's not taking into account what the everyday person is feeling.
It's just the company and what they're going through.
unidentified
Right.
Keep going.
rex jones
And enable your merchandising teams to better understand, exploit your consumer.
It's all nice HR language.
tim tompkins
It is HR.
You hear the music.
It literally sounds like an HR tutorial to make an impact more powerful with accurate decisions, with greater control over the outcomes.
It's all what is this even what?
rex jones
Well, I mean, they're trying to control the people, trying to get them to shop more and shop at prices where they know they'll be willing to spend.
Because it's literally the American profit model is now not building the best product or not having the best source of like a plant or vegetable or whatnot.
The American economy is solely based off deals.
What kind of deal can I get?
And people will be willing to adopt this because, like, hell, you tell them, hey, you know, sometimes things are cheaper.
And they go, yeah, that's awesome.
That's great.
But why are sometimes things cheaper?
Well, they know your entire digital footprint and they know exactly how you shop and the amount of money that you're going to spend.
And they're going to make a Faustian deal with you that in exchange for all the information, you might get a couple of cents cheaper.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
So go to us.
We won't have to cover any more of this particular one, but I want you guys to understand something about this software.
It does work in both ways.
Now, I am portraying it like, oh, it's only going to be more expensive.
If this was used ethically, which I don't know if it is or if it's not, I'd have to do a little bit more detailed research.
If it was ethically possible, this should work in a fundamental thing where it makes sense, where selling faster than expected, price goes up, the person wins.
If it's slowing down, price goes down, and you should get a discount.
Now, it's a little different when you're talking about essentials because there isn't really like ever a slowdown of something like toilet paper.
Why would you ever need less toilet paper?
Unless there's only more of an option.
rex jones
I know, I hear you, right?
tim tompkins
So, there's really only an incentive for the price to ever go up because when are people not going to need to wipe their ass unless everybody got the bidet and had water sprinkling on your booty hole all the time, like recession-proof, you know, those things don't make sense.
rex jones
Uh, well, I just something that I notice right when I shop, and you know, I'm not in there like Bobby Flay, a big goal of me next year is I'm actually gonna want to be a really good cook, but I'm very familiar with the price of ground beef and the price of milk.
I've been buying both of those items in a grocery store for a decade, and I have seen milk go from being under $2 to now being it's $5.35 now.
And I get the nice one, I get the fair life.
The normal one, you bougie, the normal one's about $4.50.
Well, you bougie.
Well, it's just higher protein.
It's it's value, it tastes better.
You're right, but my point with that being, I remember going into HEB in like 2016 and buying pounds of bison, bricks of bison for like 550.
Now, to get normal, non-grass-fed, normal, just like ground beef, it's rated well, you're gonna pay 1050.
Like, this is not the only level.
And if you want to buy the bison, you're gonna pay 20 bucks.
So, so it's it's 20 bucks, yeah.
tim tompkins
It's literally, it's take my left nut at that point.
rex jones
It's four times more expensive to buy like animal products, Tim.
Like, I don't take my left nut.
I don't care what metrics they use, I don't care what they say.
Everyone watching this who's not a veggie knows what I'm talking about.
You go there to buy meat, any kind of meat.
I was shocked.
I went to the seafood counter.
I was like, what?
tim tompkins
Give me the slop, give me the, give me the Burger King.
rex jones
Yeah, give me the McDonald's.
Even that's expensive now, too.
I guess you have to just like buy a pallet of uh Twinkies and survive like the apocalypse, right?
But I mean, yeah, I just, I'm just making that point because it's an observation.
tim tompkins
No, good, good point.
rex jones
Like, just every time I'm in the grocery store, man, it's like every time things are more expensive, and it's and it's difficult.
tim tompkins
Now it's going to be even more difficult for you to track those prices because those could change incrementally where you'd have to sit there with like a spreadsheet to see if it went up.
rex jones
I see it with the milk because I buy the milk so often.
I literally like it, seems like every six months it's going up about 35, 40 cents.
tim tompkins
Damn, bro.
rex jones
Like, it was, it was like 440 last year.
tim tompkins
Now, now, and now it's now, I don't want to put it all on like corporate greed because there are some supply chain things that come in.
Like, look, fundamentally, you've got a supply chain, right?
We covered this on a previous breakdown in which you've got a supply chain that has a lot of steps That goes in, and if you've got economic interruptions to that, like you know, Ukraine war messes up the grain industry, and you've got like a blockade on olive oil that makes olive oil go up.
So, there's things like that from fundamental.
rex jones
I get that, I understand it.
tim tompkins
I'm just speaking of general inflation, no, no, no, 100%, but there is this going on alongside, so it's very hard to sift where the issue is.
And the thing why I covered that issue with CAL MAIN and the eggs is sometimes there are smart enough people that use the thing like a bird flu virus as a smokescreen to say it was a logistics problem when they're paying their uh people dividends and the eggs don't actually decrease in the amount of supply and they're still charging people more because the narrative is, I want to do something, I want to do an analysis and i'm going to put this together.
rex jones
This will be a deep dive.
I do uh, and hold me to this tim.
I'm going to put together the price of feeding everyone in the U.s.
That needs to be fed.
I'm going to figure out exactly what it means.
I'm not talking about ebt and food stamps.
You buy like the twinkie, the triscuit, the bottle of soda basic yeah, like good food that a human being with knowledge of chat, Gpt and the internet would be able to cook into three fine meals a day for themselves and a family.
I'm going to figure that out.
I'm going to figure that out because I guarantee I guarantee it'll be.
It'll be like like a few or a hundred billion or something, but we spent way more than that on wars.
tim tompkins
We didn't need to be in that's, that's a good point, right?
I would be very interested to see that number.
rex jones
So i'll hold you that like and the.
The thing that I see is it's there's two excuses.
Excuse number one and it's a very valid excuse in a lot of different areas in America is like I live in a food desert.
I live in a place with one shitty horrible store.
He's right, like i'll speak for the town that my family's from right Buffalo Buffalo, Texas kind of Buffalo, kind of Fairfield, kind of Oakwood, kind of in the middle of that area.
That's we're from.
That's where, like I got, like i'm like the ninth, there are like eight, eight generations that live down there before me.
And in that town, in the town of Buffalo, they have a Brookshire Brothers.
They have one decent, okay grocery store, but it's still it's mostly slop and stuff.
Yeah, they have a Dairy Queen, they have a Burger KING, I believe, and they have like an Italian food place that you have a General Dollar or Family Dollar, they have Family Dollar and they have a gas station or two and that's it.
And if you want to go get quality food and people be like Walmart's all slop, you can't get quality food at Walmart.
If you want to go to Walmart.
You got to drive an hour to get to Walmart and a lot of places are like that, right.
So I understand from the perspective of people being like you say that we're fat, we're on food stamps.
We live in this scenario.
We live in this situation where we don't have an opportunity to get better food.
tim tompkins
And I would say to everyone that says oh, Rfk does such an incredible job no, he does it because, like to me, this is the easiest problem in the world to solve, to do what you're talking about, what you would have to do fundamentally, since we're talking about the solution behind that to fix the food desert one.
There's food deserts like yours, where I know there's like in that rural area, there's probably not a ton of crime, and why?
But the main driver for that is not a big enough population to keep the store surviving.
rex jones
I hear you.
tim tompkins
So there's that aspect.
And then there's food deserts for the reasons of like poverty, reasons to where, like it's like in the middle of Compton and the Walgreens has to shut down because it's getting robbed so often or so.
There's those we gotta.
rex jones
We gotta fix, we gotta fix all those problems.
tim tompkins
Your for your, the rural area.
That would be easier to tackle.
You've got a bunch of criminals.
Um, I agree.
Your and I just want to clarify is, you would have to subsidize the companies or a grocery store to give good food.
You'd have to subsidize the income that they may lack from a smaller population in order to run the operations, because some of those regions still the electricity costs that cost the city.
rex jones
I would just say, give people more ebt but heavily restrict the ebt to things of actual nutritional substance and value and you could say you're taking away freedom or individual rights.
tim tompkins
Lobbies will come after.
I know, I know and look, Twinkie's lobby would come after.
rex jones
Maybe one day we can have this actual, real change in the country.
I believe no child deserves to go hungry.
I truly do believe this and I don't like first step out.
Anything requires zero commitment.
Hey, why doesn't RFK produce 100 cheap easy, affordable meal plans for people to live on?
Plenty of people live on meal plans.
Many, plenty of people are super healthy people.
People just need to know what to cook and how to get.
Okay, they don't have that education.
tim tompkins
It's really that and it's a logistics issue of getting it to out to the people and then making sure that like again comes down to the companies that are out there, like i'm sure they would love an h in the middle of that town.
rex jones
Well yeah no I I I, I agree, I hear you.
I'm just saying like man, we can give people big bag rice, we can give people big thing peanut butter, we can give people big thing of honestly meat, frozen meat, like we can.
tim tompkins
We could supply people with vegetables, we can get them food, but also we can uh, and I agree with that.
But there's another thing, and i'm not trying to play devil's advocate, but I have to take all things into consideration when you're in those small towns, because i've worked a lot in these small towns where, like i've, I had to drive an hour away for work and i'm like in the middle of, like Kansas, at the border of Oklahoma, where they like kill, where they shoot deer off the, off of their porch and stuff, and that was a lot of my co-workers uh, shoot deer as he has his camo shirt on um,
but with those killing outfit yeah, with those, with those um situations, what ends up happening is damn, I lost my train of thought.
I'm sorry, i'm right there, i'm right there, into the zen and trying into the zen mode.
Okay, what was I going to say?
Come back to me, go ahead.
rex jones
No, you're good, i'll just take a little break here.
Look, we're doing the show.
We love doing the show, but we want to do a lot more with the show.
We want someone switching for us, we want someone to be able to hold the camera for us as we go out and do live events and man on the street type of things and really getting focused on this into the new year.
And the thing that makes that all possible is if you go to Goprimalcore.com and you check out the phenomenal supplements and the phenomenal deals and Discounts that we have available for you.
Like these products will change your life.
I guarantee it.
These products are the highest quality formulations I've been able to come up with, especially the elemental drive male mineral.
I've worked with dozens of supplement companies.
I've worked with some of the biggest manufacturers in the nation.
And let me tell you right now, what we were able to come up with at the price for both you and us being able to grow the show, it is a true 360 win.
I know you hear my dad say that.
I know you hear my dad talk about supporting his operation.
I humbly ask that you support our grassroots ground level operation.
This is just two guys sitting in a studio that one day we hope is a lot bigger and we're able to do a lot more in it with you.
tim tompkins
Also, the fundamental to that product too is we saw an issue in the industry and just people in general.
Like, you know, I'm was guilty of this where I'm not getting what I need in terms of my body and the actual like ingredients and the minerals that are in my body that they produce naturally because a lot of the food, and we're talking about food deserts here, we eat a lot of slop, which is where I was going with some of this stuff.
rex jones
And even the vegetables, the vegetables and the vitamins and minerals and the vegetables, the soil numbers they use to establish daily value, those are all from like the 80s and 90s.
The soil is much more depleted.
It's much harder to actually get what you need, which is why, especially for a guy, or especially just for anyone, that elemental drive formula we have, it's got everything in it.
It's a catch-all for whatever you need in a variety of aspects.
It's got selenium.
It's got vitamin D3 for nootropic, for fertility, for everything you need.
Vitamin D3 is the building block of all hormones.
It's got magnesium in it, the best highly absorbed form response for over 300 enzymatic processes in the body.
If you don't supplement with anything, you should supplement magnesium.
That's just a bar none.
That's just like a free steal.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
I'm not trying to ultimately and ultimately all it is is just trying to get you to feel better on 100%.
rex jones
And the point I'm trying to make, and maybe I'm even talking myself out of some money here for the show, is literally the best thing a person could do for themselves because it's like $15 would be to go to an HEB or a grocery store and buy a big bottle of magnesium citrate.
Now, the magnesium that we have is better, but just that one change, if you implement that into your life, you're going to experience just a wealth of benefits that you didn't even know were possible before with sleep, relaxation, mood, bowel movements.
It's all there and it's all key.
But we also have boron and zinc in the formula.
Both of those ingredients are shown to increase luteinizing hormone and able to decouple testosterone from sex hormone binding globulin.
There was a guy that called in on the show and I'm going to have to get him on for us.
We're going to have to do an interview with him just talking about supplements.
He took my blend.
He took PowerPlant and Methyl Drive, which come from Infowar store, Alex Jones store, and he was 300 pounds.
12 weeks later, he's lost 60 pounds.
He's an exercise maniac.
And before he got his test done, it's at like 350.
Now it's at a thousand.
Now, that's not a direct claim about any products or what they can do.
Those aren't the products we're retailing today.
However, the products we're retailing today are actually an improvement on that power plant system that I came up with that supplement.
And people are really getting phenomenal results from that.
tim tompkins
Somebody's actually saying it here.
Trickstep said, I'm not in a position to vouch for the product, but I guess you bought it for your family and their wife.
They live.
I mean, I think they say they love the products.
unidentified
Yes.
rex jones
I mean, the products are.
tim tompkins
I'm hearing the feedback as well.
rex jones
And like this, yeah.
I mean, we all take them.
This is the thing that's so cool about nutritional supplements is this, this is something that was laughed at, you know, in the 90s and the 2000s.
But the science has come out, the studies have come out, the podcast bros have come out.
It's all real.
It's all real stuff and it's all real stuff you need.
It harkens back to an ancient age where for thousands of years, people, especially over in the east with traditional Chinese medicine, Navertic medicine in India, they figured out that a lot of these plant compounds, these plant drugs, as I like to call them, they have very safe, predictable effects, and people have been taking them for thousands and thousands of years.
tim tompkins
And that's the fundamental to the entire thing.
The reason why it's primal is because it's at your core.
It's the things that your body have traditionally needed for a very long time.
And a lot of these companies and a lot of the food fundamentally is void of the things that you need.
And at the end of the day, I'm guilty of not getting what I need.
And I realize to feel like my ancestors did, I have to go back to my roots.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
I have to.
The body was built to be built on certain things.
And we have changed so much about the system.
rex jones
Oftentimes, we get trapped in a negative feedback loop.
And that's why an ingredient like ashwagandha is so powerful.
So a lot of people don't know this from your brain downstream.
The same fuel that's used to make testosterone is also used to make cortisol.
They're both stress hormones.
Oshwagandha goes to the neurons in your brain that produce, I think it's the abbreviation is CTA or CTP.
And that sends down a signal to your adrenal glands, which then produce ACTP, which is essentially shit out cortisol 24/7.
And when you're in a high cortisol, high catabolic state, all that's happening is you're breaking down muscle and you're trying to hold on to fat.
Essentially, the nightmare scenario.
tim tompkins
And what he's just trying to say fundamentally is, is like, look, he's not making a claim here that like, oh, all of a sudden you just start taking ashwagandha, you're just going to slim down.
It's supposed to support the process of you losing weight because of the cortisol being decreased.
rex jones
It allows you, here's what happens: you're at a low point where you have low energy and you're in a very bad metabolic state due to lifestyle choices, due to environmental toxins, you name it.
You're at this position.
The power of the ashwagandha is it's able to take that negative feedback system.
It's able to break you out of it, right?
By lowering the cortisol and increasing the testosterone.
And like that testimonial from that guy, I believe his name is Josh that called it on the show.
Like it's just incredible.
And it's just knowing about a few of these compounds and ingredients that can really change your life.
Like we talked about ashwagandha and that cortisol testosterone switch, like that right there, day one, like that's really impressive.
And if you're interested in that, you should definitely try that.
But you look at other ingredients like boron, for example, not a lot of people know about boron.
Boron's incredible, not just for the testosterone stuff, but for bone health and heart health and just general like fortuity, like being able to take hits and be capable, it increases bone density, right?
But what it also does is it uncouples testosterone from sex hormone binding globulin.
So you'll go and get a testosterone number.
It'll be like six or 700 or whatever it is.
And they'll get a free testosterone number.
It'll be like 10 or something.
You go like, huh, what is that?
And the doctor may give you an explanation, may not.
Maybe they don't even know.
And a lot of them don't, to be honest.
But when you're taking things that raise your testosterone, like ashwagandha and like zinc, you have to also have something like boron to uncouple the testosterone from that binder.
So you actually get the benefit from it.
And what I'm trying to explain with this, I know you're going to make a point here, is that this is a system built for human performance and engineered for success.
And these products were not made just by going, oh, I'm just going to make supplement, which is what everyone does with their proprietary blend.
tim tompkins
Slap a white label on it.
rex jones
This is not that.
These are the highest quality, both single-ingredient and multi-ingredient formulations where you get your milligram doses.
You know what they are.
You know what the studies say about it.
And it's damn near perfect.
And go Primal Core, goprimalcore.com.
tim tompkins
That code is in the top right corner, 25% off.
rex jones
425, 25% off.
You're getting value from this and if you can afford to.
Firstly, if you can afford to, please check out the supplements.
If you can't afford to buy the supplements, we just appreciate you watching the show, but through selling the supplements we're going to be able to do a lot more.
So just go check out Primalcore.com at Goprimalcore.com.
tim tompkins
Fully agree and fundamentally uh, just us talking about that actually brought up what I was thinking about, the whole concept of like consuming the food itself.
Yeah, not to get away from what we were talking about with the dynamic pricing, but like we were talking about, like what these people are doing and the whole food desert concept.
It's like dude, it's hard to eat right, when you have been programmed at a certain point to like like the.
The stuff that tastes that is bad for you tastes good compared to the good stuff yes, and so it's like it's hyper palatable.
They have food scientists yeah, that literally put like these crazy ingredients for you to be like tantalized.
So it's literally like pulling teeth to get somebody to eat like brussels sprouts if it does not like.
rex jones
You got a little, got a little kid, you got, you got, you got a little like.
Uh, you got a little Jeremy, and Jeremy is used to consuming like literally, it's like like being in like the Candyland house yes, and then you're like you must eat healthy.
I mean like that is a shock to the system.
I mean, sugar addictions are very real thing, sugar.
tim tompkins
You got cheese, the dairy and stuff like that.
rex jones
That's all yummy and good.
tim tompkins
It's all yummy.
rex jones
How dare you criticize it, dude?
tim tompkins
Bad, bad stuff tastes good.
I love a good Mcdonald's every once in a while.
No, I love a good Chick-fil-a with all that grease yum yum, yum.
rex jones
The spicy deluxe filet will always my stomach up.
Mcdonald's doesn't my stomach up.
TACO BELL doesn't my stomach up.
tim tompkins
It's what they they um, what they fry the the uh patty in and Chipotle is real dangerous, is it Chipotle?
rex jones
It's a roll of the dice.
One out of five times you're gonna have stomach issue.
tim tompkins
I've never.
I i'm good, i've eaten that a lot too, but that's my staple.
rex jones
It's time to time you, you like kava though, which is I think i'm a high kava, higher level, big kava guy, higher level.
tim tompkins
But getting getting back to uh this, this dynamic pricing, just so you guys understand, there's two sides to every story.
It's not that like every grocery store wants to sit here and like screw over the average consumer, because it's never just that black and white.
If it were, then like it's like the people who fundamentally the small town, uh grocers would, they wouldn't have conscious.
So one of the reasons why this is popular for some of these like companies that are able to sell the algorithm is because retailers actually have pretty small margins when it comes to food, like very small.
Like a tech company can give you like 80 plus percent margins and a grocery store some of these items give you only like one to three percent.
They rely on volume.
So there are certain situations where um, the margins is kind of like an important thing in order to for the sustainability, and when you have such thin margins, there's more ability to like be affected by the changes.
And there are a lot of those industries where they where it's very low margin and they rely on that volume and like we see, we see that with, we see that with oil and and when you have People who like hit, like when the government messes up the system by pumping $5 trillion into the marketplace and inflation goes insane and people have to decide what they're going to set that shop on.
That affects everybody.
rex jones
That whole 2022 to 2023 time period was insane because the retailers had billions of dollars of inventory that they were like, fuck, we'll sell this for half off at 75% off.
Just get it off our hands.
And now they don't have it anymore.
They don't.
And the prices are going to go up.
tim tompkins
And a lot of the time, you got to understand the retailer is just the middleman.
There's the guy who made the product that typically makes more of the margins and makes most of the money, whoever creates the product on a normal case scenario.
So they're not as affected.
It's really the guy who's like, hey, I'm buying from you in bulk and then I have to sell it for a certain amount because it's already marked up to a certain point.
And people have to be able to afford this product in the first place.
So the cost is a thing.
And so with the algorithms, that being said, kind of when you're creating these price models and trying to figure out, it's literally a very complicated area where there's so many factors and there's real science to it.
So try to create a whole system around it, but it's very hard to take into consideration a lot of variables like economics that come in and Trump slaps a tariff on there.
rex jones
This price goes up.
It's on its way.
tim tompkins
So how do you arbitrarily prescribe what that price should jump up to with all of the variables?
So these algorithms are supposed to create a scenario which help them give them a better price to figure out what the rate should be.
And you're trying to compare it across the rest of stores.
You don't want to be selling the same item for like $10 more.
So the algorithm comes in to try to help that.
And then it's also to react faster to the things that are happening because humans are very dynamic.
And if you got the president that's currently in power where he's changing a lot of things all at once and very fast and other things are breaking very fast, you got to be able, they're trying to capture the market at where it's at at that particular point.
Because if it takes you a month to update your prices, that's a lot of money that they actually lose and they eat the cost of that because it's a supply chain.
It hits the person on the supply at the very beginning who grows the thing.
It takes a minute for that price to get priced in here at the point at which it goes to the wholesaler.
It takes a minute for it to go to the person who manufactures it for the person who creates a brand around it.
Like there's a trickle and there's a step process to this.
So this is trying to create a better system in which you can quickly change all these variables.
And yeah, go ahead.
rex jones
I just want to make another point.
And I make this point, you know, every few podcasts or broadcasts or live streams that we do, because I think it's an important point to make.
Where else are you getting a show like this?
Like, seriously, where else are you getting a show like this?
And I'm not saying this is the best show ever and there's never been a show like this.
I'm just saying, where else are you getting a unique show like this?
You're not.
You're getting slop from one side or another side.
And it's a group of people in a weird political clique and they're loyal to that and they're pushing a specific agenda.
We don't do that over here.
We're literally facts, baby.
And it's beyond even that.
We're just, we're two guys.
We've come to the realization that we're both Americans and we're human beings of value and that we're here to have a discussion instead of having a circle jerk or having a meaningless meaningless debate.
We're here to have a Socratic discussion about the stuff that's actually going on.
So you can go, oh, I don't want to hear about price gouging.
I don't want to hear about the new digital price tags.
I don't care about that.
Whatever.
You better care about it.
You better realize that it's important and you better have some knowledge of it.
And that's why we go over these things is because we're not even necessarily.
I know Tim's got an opinion, I've got an opinion, and we don't agree on everything on this issue, but we're both aware that it's happening, right?
And a lot of people are not aware that it's happening.
tim tompkins
And I want to give you guys like the 360 view because it's very easy to just be like they're charging more prices and they're trying to kill the average American.
When you got to understand, there's nuances to these things.
And we always like, I say the same thing about real estate.
Everybody wants to sit there and blame the landlords.
Like everything the landlord tries to do is like just he's the bad George kill the landlord, right?
But like now that I'm on the other side of it where I am a landlord, I'm understanding the nuances to like, dude, guys, being a landlord ain't for the weary.
Honestly, you got to understand not every tenant is a good tenant.
And again, there's a lot of prices that go into a lot of things.
I think in the last two months, just from like things breaking, from like the state having regulations on how they gas, I probably spent like, let's say over the last three months, probably 10, 10 grand on one property just to get everything get to make sure the tenant, you know, has ability to move in and have all the proper necessities and stuff like that.
Look, I don't get that money back.
rex jones
No.
tim tompkins
You know, so there are nuances to where like I have to compensate for the fact that all these expenses, because everything is more expensive, right?
Me as a landlord, I have no choice but to increase the rent.
rex jones
You have to pass the savings.
tim tompkins
You got no choice, you know?
rex jones
No, and that's, and that's the system that we are in.
tim tompkins
Otherwise, the math doesn't add up to like, why the hell do I even have this house in the first place?
And being a landlord is good because you are providing a cheaper thing where a person who can't go out and put 20% down on a house and go buy a house has a place to live.
So there's a fundamental necessity for the landlord.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
And I'm not, I'm not against renting.
I'm not against people renting.
My problem is when you have these giant companies come in, they buy up all the housing and they go, oh, I should shed light to that.
tim tompkins
By the way, the percentage of property.
The percentage of properties that are actually being sold to companies like BlackRock and these other companies is like somewhere around one to five percent.
It's not that high.
I'm getting super away from it because you just mentioned it.
I just have to explain and I'll do a deep dive on this.
The main thing that is driving the prices going up for these particular things is not that.
It's all the money and the cost that goes into like actually building like a house and how much it costs to actually like repair and the lumber and all the extra stuff.
They tally up.
And then there's also another factor like red tape around people having really good intentions of like, hey, we should have a permit for this.
We should have a process for that.
And we should have another process for this.
And then you could spend like in California, you could spend like $50,000 just on permits.
rex jones
Red tape.
And it makes business impossible for the average American.
And the only people that can do the business are the mid or size companies.
tim tompkins
And then there's a trickle down effect to where like it doesn't become profitable to make the single family house.
So then your only thing that you're going to make money from is if you make the bigger luxury apartment which costs like four grand a month because that's the only way that you can make your money.
So that's why it contributes to the trickle effect to where like not enough single family houses are being built.
That's what happens here, guys.
There's a bigger story to it.
And it's not just, I just had to clarify because I don't want people thinking now there was a story at that point.
I believe that I had to dive a little deeper to figure out what was driving that.
And that's why I love this show because I get to tell you guys what's going on.
rex jones
Uh, do you want to with this now?
Yeah, I want to take a couple calls, but now I won't even look up.
unidentified
Uh, no, go back, submit, yeah.
rex jones
Ugh, all right, yeah, all right.
tim tompkins
So, guys, we are gonna take some call-ins real quick.
I do want to clarify on the last point of this thing because I did get pulled away.
Dynamic pricing is something that's already in the works now, it's already widespread.
2027 is looking like when it's going to be very much so like wider adaptation.
And then by 2030, we could see like this be the fully normal thing.
So, sorry to say, just be aware, just be aware what you're paying for.
Uh, and that is the end of that segment.
We will take a couple of calls here in a second.
rex jones
Rex is pulling this up.
tim tompkins
Our internet is uh dookie-dooky right now.
unidentified
I think I think it's their site because I think our yeah, it could be.
rex jones
This is my only chill day.
Love spending some time with you guys on a Sunday night.
I mean, you ever know, man.
tim tompkins
Yes, it does.
rex jones
Happy to be here.
tim tompkins
You could be listening to anyone else right now, but you have chosen to be here with us.
rex jones
Gray area.
If the gray area actually gets phone service, that'd be cool.
tim tompkins
What is that?
Is you?
unidentified
Yeah.
tim tompkins
Okay.
new groyper in south
You are connected as the host.
unidentified
All right.
rex jones
We're connected.
Welcome, host.
unidentified
You are now in the host room and can manage your colors for the Collins Studio web interface.
Yeah.
rex jones
All right.
So we're about to put out the call out number.
We're going to do a little graphic that releases it.
But the number to call into the show, what is the number to call into the show, Tim?
The number to call into the show.
Go back over to the number to call into the show.
512-675-7144.
That's 512-675-7144.
512-675-7144.
And we're going to go ahead and throw that up now.
We really appreciate your calls.
And we've seen people in here that want to call.
So please call in.
We'll talk to you tonight.
tim tompkins
Because last time we only had one of you guys call in, and I'm like, what's going on?
You guys don't want to talk to us no more.
It's a sad world.
And it is at the beginning.
unidentified
wanted to talk
well um we're trying to figure this out we got yeah Yeah, we got someone on the line.
tim tompkins
Our software is glitched.
rex jones
Yeah, it's we're having some issues.
Come on, we want to talk to you, Collar.
I wonder if I drop it.
tim tompkins
I hear some.
rex jones
Hello, are you there?
ryan in mass
Hey, what's up, boss?
rex jones
Hey, howdy.
Who are we talking to tonight?
tim tompkins
Hey, can everybody hear him in the comments?
Can you please chat?
See if you can hear him.
ryan in mass
It's Ryan from Mass Man.
unidentified
Okay, Ryan.
tim tompkins
What's on your mind, man?
ryan in mass
No, man.
I dude, just absolutely love the show tonight.
And I wanted to chime in.
tim tompkins
We appreciate that.
What parts do you like?
Yeah, what's on your mind?
What do you like specifically about the show?
ryan in mass
I got the back end on the Epsy and stuff you guys were talking about earlier and stuff.
But going into the economic data was absolutely stunning because it's nice and smooth the way you guys do this, man.
And it's chill because you don't get too many shows that are actually chilling and relaxed to where you can actually just be a part of.
Usually everything in the mainstream is just in your face, pushed in.
But I like your guys' format, man.
tim tompkins
Yeah, they're normally screaming at you.
rex jones
It gets very fast and angry wherever else you go.
Like, we're just trying to have like a discussion and a dialogue here, right?
And, like, that's that's why to me, like, this is a great honor and compliment that you give us, like, being a viewer and a listener and actually enjoying it.
Like, we're doing this to be real.
So, thank you very much for that.
Like, what kind of our coverage are you interested in?
What have you seen from us so far?
ryan in mass
No, I've watched a few of your guys' shows, and uh, just hearing this, like I said, I'm on the road right now, but it's just hearing you guys free flow with this to make it an actual like full-fledged talk show.
I was uh, I was, I was kind of impressed, especially with the products, man.
Like I said, I earlier, we had uh, we had actually bought some of the products, and I love them.
So, if you guys could have more, if you could do more discussion on that, man, it's it's perfect.
tim tompkins
What's the uh, what do you like about the products since you've ordered them so far?
ryan in mass
Well, with the with the ladies, they love it, obviously.
Um, right, what one of the big things, one of the big things is, man, your newer one with uh, what is the uh uh the not the provincial, uh, oh my goodness, you were just mentioning about a little while ago, elemental drive, the elemental drive, yes, yes, that that is the kicker.
Yes, I didn't believe it.
My wife bought my wife bought it for me for my birthday this month.
It is awesome.
tim tompkins
What, what, what, what are you doing?
rex jones
You felt that testosterone increase, didn't you?
And it's not just it's free, it's free testosterone as well, it's what makes it so incredible.
How are you feeling being on that product?
ryan in mass
It's uh, blood drive is a lot better, I'll tell you that much.
Going back to the gym after so many years, man, and having that, I'm telling you, if you want to pump iron and then literally get out there and freaking hit it like it knocks, that that's the only words I can describe.
rex jones
100%, and like that, that's what we're about doing with the supplements and really everything I've ever designed.
Is I just like I want to be able to give people a performance boost.
And this snack that we came up with with the primal core stuff with the Ashwagandha and the core minerals, it is designed to counteract the trap that young, middle, and old, older age men find themselves in, which is just like, hey, I'm in good shape.
I take care of myself.
Why am I not able to go do these physical things that I know I want to do?
And it's simple: it's a cortisol issue, it's a testosterone issue.
And once we fix those things with Primal Core products, it's a total win.
Yeah, you know, so thank you so much.
tim tompkins
I love the fact that she's bought that.
rex jones
Thank you so much, man.
ryan in mass
I appreciate it, man.
Like I said, the four or five weeks, man, now, and like, even if you cut out the drinking for like a week or two, 100% noticeable, man, because the water intake and muscle drive, man, I'm sorry, it's it's uh, it's badass.
rex jones
So, no, I appreciate it.
Well, thank you so much.
Do you have a political take or anything else?
You're still the only guy on the line so far.
Yeah, we appreciate you, man.
ryan in mass
No, man, I love this.
Like I said, we're listening up in Massachusetts right now.
So, dude, keep it going.
I thought that you guys would grow.
tim tompkins
What part of Massachusetts?
I'm a native, not quite native.
ryan in mass
I'm near Springfield, man.
tim tompkins
Springfield.
Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool.
I used to live in Hopkinton and like the borough, Boston area.
So, I know I'm familiar with Springfield.
ryan in mass
I'm Nordenier, Nori, for Northeastern, man.
I was out there partying back in my year, so you know the game.
tim tompkins
Yes, sir, yes, sir.
How are you feeling about all the things?
How are you feeling about X these days?
unidentified
Are you a regular user of X?
ryan in mass
Yeah, man.
tim tompkins
How are you feeling about X these days?
I'm very curious.
I don't get to talk to a lot of people about this.
ryan in mass
I've noticed the algorithms over the past even month or two, man.
And it's unforgiving.
But at the same time, you can you can tell that things are shifting back to how it should be, but not not fast enough, because a lot there's been too many pushes for uh, for political stuff and not not enough content that you would normally want to see.
It's really the algorithm.
unidentified
You search something.
rex jones
Yeah, they have like.
It's like they have an issue of the week designed to like rile you up, and then the next week it's the next thing and the next thing and the next thing.
I just like look like I don't need to be shown violence 24, 7.
I don't think it's healthy for the mind either and it's a good thing in the sense of us being able to actually see some of the stuff that's going on around the world.
But at the same time, like you know, i've been thinking about it like some of that war footage that i've seen, especially like over in, like humans were not meant to Ukraine and Gaza and all that.
It's just, it's tough for people to get their heads around.
But we, we really appreciate you being a supporter of the show and being willing and brave enough to try the products, and we're phenomenally like, we're just overjoyed that you're having a good experience with them.
Man um honestly, thank you so much.
tim tompkins
Your feedback has kind of hit me because you know you, you kind of speak into the void.
We can't really see anybody out here and I read the comments, so I really appreciate every single one of you guys that are out here making commentary on like, how we're doing, because it really is motivation at the end of the day, because when Rex and I do this um, we don't really we, we don't really know.
There's not like anything to track your performance.
You're working in an ambiguous environment and you're just trying to do the thing, there's no metric of like how good or bad.
rex jones
The metric is how the viewers and listeners appreciate the show and the value they're able to get out of it.
And like that's why we sell the product too is like it's literally the best thing we could come up with to support the show.
100 and like that's my dad's term, I use it too it's free.
360, win.
ryan in mass
No, it's 100.
Man, like I said, I apologize.
I got, I got your guys supplements as a gift and I I apologize for the, the names of stuff but dude, I i'll my.
My wife's a listener too, so she, she's the one that sent me this and sent me the link and i've been listening ever since.
But yeah, I do.
I really do appreciate that.
tim tompkins
If you're gonna, if you're going to order in the future just as a tidbit, that's easy for you um, if you do like the one month, like the, the monthly, like subscription, it's gonna come out to be like somewhere around like 20 something bucks and you're gonna get, you're gonna get a big discount for that and that's what I recommend for people and that's to do a 30.
rex jones
That's a bit, that's a big thing.
Like specifically, like you can choose whether you want to take Ashwagandha long term or not and, like I, I encourage people look at the studies, the research.
There's a lot of good.
There are some indications for taking it like year around, year round.
That male mineral formula is something that I specifically designed to be taken year-round with no consequence.
The viral trend that i've seen on x for months and months and months is like i'm taking my zinc pills so I can impress my girlfriend this, that and the other thing.
People take in like 50 milligrams of zinc and all this craziness.
First off, you don't even need that much zinc.
Number two, zinc is the uh, digested and absorbed, Absorbed by your gut in the same exact way that copper is, right?
So, if you consume a ratio of zinc that's much higher than your dietary ratio of copper, you're going to end up being copper deficient and then you have side effects.
And it gets really bad.
The male mineral formula has zinc in the exact highest quality version you can find it most absorbable compared to the exact right ratio of that copper, right?
And all the other formulas, they don't include it.
unidentified
Right.
tim tompkins
Well, that's probably why you're feeling some of those effects.
unidentified
Yes.
rex jones
And it'll be sustained effects that go on to last because you're literally getting the daily value of all the best stuff that you need in there.
It really is like that is the real men's multivitamin.
That's not the like one a day thing you buy at Target or HEB that's got just like a billion vitamins in like a bunch of different forms.
And most of them aren't even the ones that you want.
Most things don't have boron.
I'll tell you that right now.
Just that alone, you can just get boron straight and take like eight, 10 milligrams of it, whatever the dose is that's shown to increase free testosterone by like 38%.
And like you're going to be a new guy, basically.
tim tompkins
So, I mean, anything else you want to do?
What I can't go ahead.
ryan in mass
What I can't figure out is why all of a sudden, like, it's been a few weeks, right?
Why all of a sudden do I want to just literally get up and just like go running?
Like, I haven't had that before.
tim tompkins
That's the vitality that we're talking about.
rex jones
Right.
tim tompkins
That's literally, if you read the site and what our brand is, it's about giving you that vitality back because that is exactly what your ancestors used to feel like when they got up in the morning and they got out of bed.
Right.
rex jones
And it's people eating the organ meat.
It's people doing the actual stuff they needed to do back in the day and consuming the wild berries and consuming the nutrients from the farm that actually still had stuff in them.
And we've entered into an age now, sadly, where our soil is very depleted.
And you're certainly not getting those high-quality multi-minerals in any other system.
So I just, I'm so happy to hear that you got that fire back.
unidentified
And anything in closing for you, man, before you go on to the next caller?
ryan in mass
No, brother.
No, no.
Guys, I really, I really, really do appreciate it, man.
And if you, if you guys have any other links or anything you guys could put out later, it'd be appreciated, man.
Like I said, I'm on the road, but I got this as a gift and absolutely awesome show, guys.
rex jones
100%.
I mean, the best thing you could do on that front is like, if you enjoy the products and you know where to get them, you can tell people about it, share it, share the information, you know, and we'll have more discount codes coming out in the future.
We want people to get their hands on these on these things and these items.
And I'm happy to hear that it's made such a phenomenal change in your life.
Thank you so much for your call, man.
I appreciate you.
ryan in mass
Appreciate it, guys.
rex jones
Thank you.
And what's your name again, sir?
Sir?
ryan in mass
Steve Mask.
rex jones
Okay.
Gotcha.
Comment under one of my posts on X, and I will, I'll follow you.
I'll reach out to you.
I want to hear more about your testimonial.
Thank you so much.
ryan in mass
Okay, guys.
tim tompkins
Thanks.
rex jones
Bye.
Phenomenal, phenomenal, phenomenal.
We got another guy in queue.
And this will probably, let's take this last one.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
Last call.
Welcome, boys.
unidentified
Who we got here?
rex jones
It's the one and only new growth.
tim tompkins
Oh, see, I told you he's got a two-something number.
rex jones
What's up?
tim tompkins
What's up, man?
What's on your mind?
rex jones
Nothing much, man.
new groyper in south
That's pain files.
tim tompkins
That's not nothing much.
rex jones
They should all be in jail, but they're never going to jail.
I like seeing Bill Clinton in the hot tub, you know, knowing that he'll never get caught.
tim tompkins
He's a smiley dude.
rex jones
Yeah, smiley.
Happy camper.
new groyper in south
Yeah, I think Trump needs to be impeached at this point.
Cam needs to get a prison thing.
tim tompkins
You sound like a liberal.
Hey, you sound like a 2020 liberal.
rex jones
I mean, we just read that.
new groyper in south
I'm going to read that.
rex jones
Go ahead.
new groyper in south
No, I said, I'm going to vote for AOC and the next election with a smile on my face.
rex jones
Yeah.
Gavin Newsome maxing.
Yeah.
No, I hear you, man.
And that's the thing is like, if Gavin Newsom, as smarmy and evil as he is, if he came out and said, look, like, fuck all these people, if I get in there.
They'll have to put a bullet in my head to stop me from releasing the files.
And I'm sure that would be a lie too and whatever.
But if that becomes, if we're able to make this into like a political cudgel of like, we will give you the favor if you just release all this information on people.
I think one of these elitist politicians in the next couple of decades, they'll bite on that.
I do think we'll get the truth.
I do believe this.
I don't, it's just there's too much.
new groyper in south
Yeah, it just makes you weight.
tim tompkins
Yeah, I was going to say, you might get the truth, but it might be like JFK where you find out about it.
unidentified
Why are y'all negative, bro?
rex jones
Just chill out, man.
tim tompkins
What happened to Grover?
new groyper in south
Have you guys read through all the read through all of the files yet?
rex jones
No, we kind of picked and shook.
tim tompkins
Well, I couldn't read.
What was I supposed to read?
new groyper in south
Well, there was a lot.
What wasn't redacted?
The highlights, they had a, in his house, they had like a black girl hanging.
unidentified
Fuck.
new groyper in south
Yeah, it was pretty wild.
And then he had like a baby massage pamphlet of how to massage babies.
rex jones
Oh, that's normal.
tim tompkins
That is crazy.
rex jones
You know, I think I got a crate of those or something.
That's so fucking weird.
Yeah.
tim tompkins
What else?
new groyper in south
He had a bunch of like female breasts, like female busts of boobs, like nude boobs.
You know, he had a bunch of those.
He had that crazy stuff.
rex jones
Yeah.
tim tompkins
And you know, it's crazy he was.
new groyper in south
He had a dog in a garbage bag.
tim tompkins
Like a real dog.
new groyper in south
It looks like a taxidermy dog.
tim tompkins
Real dog.
rex jones
Taxidermy dog.
new groyper in south
Okay.
rex jones
Like my stuffed dog.
tim tompkins
Yeah, like a stuffed out.
rex jones
I don't know.
new groyper in south
It could either be real or not.
I would assume it's not real because there aren't maggots everywhere.
rex jones
We put nothing past.
Yeah, we put nothing past it.
tim tompkins
I think you can, they like dry it out to the point where it wouldn't rot or something like that.
rex jones
Yeah, you can like mummify.
tim tompkins
It's so, oh, that's so some people do that.
rex jones
That's dark.
unidentified
I've seen it.
rex jones
You just missed it.
No, no, Fluffy gets to run around in the backyard forever, just buried in the backyard.
That's the attitude you have with the dog.
You know, I love Rupert to death, but I'd never do that to him.
You know, like when it's his time, it's his time to rest.
unidentified
What else are you saying to Gropor?
new groyper in south
No.
No, they had a bunch of sex toys that were logged as evidence.
They were pretty weird.
The interesting thing is he had the entire Talmud collection in his library.
There's a photo of him sitting in the Talmuds behind him.
tim tompkins
What is that?
new groyper in south
The 34-volume set.
The Jewish Jewish text that says like the goal of your cattle.
rex jones
It's okay to murder them.
The Talmud is a collection of arguments and conversations between rabbis after the fall of the temple leading up into the contemporary era.
The Talmud is the document that, Lord Have Mercy, forgive me, says that Jesus is in a pit of boiling excrement and hell and a bunch of other stuff like that.
That's just the truth.
That's what's in the religious text.
Just like we went through the Muslim stuff.
We saw what's in their text.
tim tompkins
The extremist of the Jews.
rex jones
That's what they study it.
new groyper in south
They study standard.
that that's their authoritative in Talmudic Judaism, which is what exists now.
That's their authoritative text.
It's kind of like saying a Muslim, if a Muslim doesn't adhere to the Quran, are they actually a Muslim?
rex jones
No.
new groyper in south
The answer is no.
And you know, it's just completely insane.
I'm trying to think there were pictures of Trump in there.
He had pictures of Trump in his desk.
He had some weird letters corresponding.
Another tidbit that I found that was interesting, there was a letter from the department or the Bureau of Prisons where a guy had had correspondence, so they were tracking it, where he basically says, I have information on Epstein's murder.
And then we looked him up, and then this guy is now dead.
unidentified
Right.
Come on, that's a classic.
You can't let him talk.
new groyper in south
Right.
unidentified
You can't let him talk.
No, dude.
tim tompkins
You know, I hear you.
new groyper in south
It's just like super weird crap.
unidentified
I hear you mentioning all these things.
tim tompkins
And like, from just a neutral perspective, it's just like a nothing burger.
It's like, okay, fine.
You know, he had these weird booby sex dolls.
People have some weird ass fetages.
I think the most thing I was like kind of weirded out by was the baby thing.
But like, I'm like, okay, where's the meat?
unidentified
Where's the meat and potatoes?
new groyper in south
Well, there was also photos of him.
There were some photos that were completely redacted.
There were some that had like, he was holding little children and they had their face blocked out and censored and then little girls.
I mean, there's one where Trump was in a plane.
I'm sure you saw that one.
unidentified
I didn't actually saw he had a little girl in his lap.
tim tompkins
Wait, wait, what?
unidentified
You said there was a photo of him and you're saying Trump had a girl on the home.
new groyper in south
Yes, sitting on his lap.
unidentified
Yes.
tim tompkins
And we're sure that's not AI, right?
new groyper in south
Yes, we're sure it's not AI.
rex jones
We're sure it's not his daughter.
unidentified
Let's go back to kind of pictures of his daughter around that age.
rex jones
Let's go back up.
I want to back up your point, New Groper, because I believe he's indicated too.
I agree with you.
And Tim was actually the person that brought this document to my attention.
This is part of the justice.gov data dump for the Epstein files or whatever they want to call it.
During one of Doe's encounters with Epstein, he took her to Mar-a-Lago where he introduced her to its owner, Donald J. Trump, introducing the 14-year-old Doe to Donald J. Trump.
Epstein elbowed Trump, playfully asking him, referring to Doe, this is a good one, right?
I totally believe that.
I can see it happening in my mind.
new groyper in south
This girl was younger than 14.
rex jones
Yeah, no, she's 13.
new groyper in south
This girl was no older than no, no, I'm talking about the girl in the picture was no older than Tim.
rex jones
I'm not referring, I'm not referring to that one.
This is like, this is an affidavit that was released between, yeah.
new groyper in south
Yeah, no, and then there, there was a bunch of pictures.
Like, he had a painting on the wall, and it was like a kid, like a boy, like, like, I'm talking about like a five or six-year-old boy turned, and he, he had his, he was pulling his pants forward and looking down in his junk.
Um, where he like clearly was, was having problems.
Then he wrote, like, he wrote, I forget what it was on, but he had, he had something.
It was like a, and then he wrote like a Lolita poem, you know, um, about like basically pedophilia he had wrote.
rex jones
I saw that.
new groyper in south
Like, dude, dude was like an actual super villain.
rex jones
Yes.
new groyper in south
Actually a supervillain.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
And there's, there's plenty more out there just like him.
And that, that, and that's the thing that we always got to remember, right?
Is like, this is not an isolated incident.
And like, we have them dead to rights on this whole issue.
And it's why this issue, the American people can never let it go.
Uh, that the government is controlled by pedophiles.
Uh, in closing, New Groyper just says, like, we're tired, we're kind of wiped out.
tim tompkins
Um, I see it, yeah, Tim's trying to see, uh, New Groyper, take a look at your phone.
I just want to see if this is the photo you're talking about here.
unidentified
Let me pull it up.
tim tompkins
I don't know if this is the one you're talking about, but I don't think it is.
unidentified
It's probably not because these ones are on stream, is it?
tim tompkins
Yeah, it's on stream.
It's gonna, there's a lag in between when we're talking to what the get out of here, bro.
new groyper in south
Oh, yeah, no, no, no, no.
This, this, no, this one was him on the Louida Express.
It was a little girl, maybe, and she was like no older than 10 and sitting on Trump's lap.
And it was not a Trump, like a younger Trump, because some people tried to say, oh, it was Ivanka.
He was holding a Havanka, and they had pictures of him and Ivanka at that age.
And he looked 20 years younger.
rex jones
Of course.
new groyper in south
Well, like this, this Trump looks like.
tim tompkins
Yeah, just find them.
unidentified
Find them?
rex jones
Find him and send them.
tim tompkins
Yeah, I was going to say, I got to pull that up next show because I can't find them right now.
But that's that's wild.
Those are real.
I'll fact check them, see if they're real for everybody, and we'll bring that up for Tuesday's show.
rex jones
All right.
Well, thank you for calling in, New Groyper.
We're kind of gassed.
We went a little bit longer than we love it.
tim tompkins
We have a four-hour show, baby.
rex jones
We love it.
We appreciate you joining us down here every time, man.
tim tompkins
It means a lot to us.
rex jones
Seriously.
Thank you, New Groper.
new groyper in south
Hey, by the way, the elemental drive, piggyback, and I'll plug in a little bit.
One last thing.
rex jones
Okay.
new groyper in south
I have noticed it's continued to have a difference.
Really?
I can notice when I don't take it and notice when I do, if that makes sense.
rex jones
Phenomenal.
unidentified
Okay.
tim tompkins
What's the feeling when you do take it versus don't?
new groyper in south
The best, like, best way I can say is it probably has raised my testosterone.
So, like, when I'm taking it, um, you know, like, if I don't take it for like one or two days tops, then I start feeling that slow, you know, that kind of bogged down feeling that you get when your testosterone is low.
tim tompkins
Were you feeling that prior to taking the substance too?
new groyper in south
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
new groyper in south
No, yeah.
It's one of the things you don't really notice it until you have a little uptick.
rex jones
That's the key.
That's the key.
And they've shown specifically like high-quality zinc dysglycinate supplementation.
And it can even raise testosterone levels by as high as 90% in people that are deficient.
And the reason why we created these products are the vast majority of people are deficient in these things that they need to perform and think and act and feel the best they can.
So like really looking forward to like you, you called in about the product, other gentlemen called in about the product.
And it really is great to put together these reviews because we're telling people, we're telling the people listening.
And I know you don't want to hear people online tell you what to buy or whatnot, but if you're going to spend money and if you want to put some self-improvement stuff going forward into the new year, there's no better place to start than with Go Primal Core.
It could choose one or both.
tim tompkins
Could you explain a little bit more just so I understand your anecdotal experience for us more?
new groyper in south
Like I said, I think that it just basically kind of gives energy.
I pair it with ultramethylene blue.
unidentified
Right.
new groyper in south
And so I've taken ultramethylene blue for a long time.
Well, for about a couple months now.
And that gives me like a mental clarity and focus kind of thing.
And then this kind of comes in and gives me just a little bit more energy.
Now, is it like I'm like, you know, on TRT?
No, it's not like that.
It's very.
rex jones
It's natural.
new groyper in south
I'd say it's reasonable.
unidentified
Yeah.
new groyper in south
Yeah.
unidentified
It's reasonable for what you could expect from a supplement, right?
new groyper in south
Like, you're gonna, you're gonna feel it, but it's not gonna be like you're not gonna be like rolling it out in the corner, right?
rex jones
And that's what you want.
unidentified
That's the only supplement I've ever had that's like that is the uh male vitality.
new groyper in south
That stuff is on a whole nother level, right?
rex jones
We're gonna bring it back one day.
We may have to do a primal core vitality or something like that.
We're going to resurrect a lot of those old brands.
And the reason why you like this formula so much is you know, this is essentially an improved version of many InfoWars life formulas and Alex Jones store formulas that I've come up with.
And just thank you, thank you so much for the glowing report.
And you don't have to haunt us yet, you see?
new groyper in south
Yeah, no, like I said, it's what I tell the audience, it's worth taking a flyer on.
It's like I said, it's not, it's not super expensive.
So if you take it, you buy, you know, you buy it once if you like it, you keep going.
If not, then you can be happy that your testosterone levels are higher.
rex jones
True.
new groyper in south
But you know, you know what I'd like to see is I'd like to see like a bundle deal kind of thing with like when you start getting some of those, especially the some of those other the Infowars stuff, like, you know, you reformulate that, like a bodies and superman vitality and elemental drive and you know, some of that other stuff.
Well, I hear you kind of bundle it together.
rex jones
That bottle right there.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
rex jones
That one.
So look, look at this.
This is knockout sleep support.
This was the number two selling product on the original Infowars store for almost a decade.
Millions of people have taken this.
This product hasn't been available in five years.
I just resurrected it and brought it back.
They let the trademark lapse.
I'm actively trying to get it now.
This is knockout sleep support.
It's improved.
It's got more magnesium than it did before, and it's got more L-theanine than it had before.
But by and large, this is the same formula.
Now, this was just done under my 50% off label.
There is no reason, no reason at all why we can't go to Primal Core and go, hey, these are old blends that people want.
We can bring them back because it's the same ancient remedy stuff.
unidentified
It is.
rex jones
At the end of the day, we're right there with you.
And like, that's why we're so honored for anyone that's getting in on the ground floor of just this exciting journey of shows and products that help improve people's lives and production and industry because like we're businessmen and like this is what we do.
And when we set out to do a show, we didn't want the show to have to be something as to where it wouldn't be like however, however big the community wants the show to be will be as big as the show gets.
And the best way that we could do that and incentivize the community to support the show is just to have the best items.
Like, and that's like my dad literally uses the analogy, goes like, I sell heroin, I have the best heroin.
Like, people want to buy heroin from me.
But like, at the end, at the end of the day, like, it's true.
If you got the best stuff, like, come shop with us.
tim tompkins
100%, man.
So, I, dude, these are the things, New Groyper.
Like I said to the last caller, like, this is what keeps us going, man.
rex jones
Yes, 100%.
tim tompkins
As long as I know my conscience is clean, that I am that we are both providing something for you guys that is of value.
That is all I want out of life.
unidentified
Amen.
tim tompkins
Amen.
This ain't a money trip.
This ain't nothing.
Literally, all this, all this is going on.
It is awesome.
rex jones
It's cool to be able to do cool shit and to create positive change, both in our lives and in other people's lives.
And that's what the 360 win is all about.
unidentified
Yeah.
rex jones
Just thank you, New Groyper.
Phenomenal call.
tim tompkins
Appreciate you, man.
rex jones
You're gas.
Oh, we are.
tim tompkins
Gas is an underscore.
rex jones
Thank you, New Groyper.
God bless you.
Yeah, no problem, guys.
unidentified
Take it easy.
tim tompkins
See you, man.
rex jones
Wow.
And you see, like, those are two phenomenal real reviews of paid actors.
Yes, exactly.
I gave them each a thousand dollars to see.
tim tompkins
He gave them the AI script, told them to read.
rex jones
It's true.
It's not even a real person.
It's AI.
But no, seriously, those are two loyal listeners that have listened to the show and decided to take a chance to order from GoPrimalCore.com.
And they got the product.
They got the elemental drive and they love it.
tim tompkins
And you only have to try it once if you don't like it, like he said.
rex jones
Exactly.
tim tompkins
There's no harm, no foul.
We aren't going to sit there and chase you down.
rex jones
It's tested.
It's safe.
It's not going to hurt you.
It's only going to help you.
It's only going to repair deficiencies that you have.
It really, it really is a no-brainer.
And I'm really glad that I've got some of that classic InfoWarrior audience because there are phenomenal things that we can do with some of these old products that have been discontinued moving forward.
tim tompkins
100%.
rex jones
But we have to get over the hump of proving that these products that we have, which are already good, they're already great.
They're already the best thing around.
I guarantee.
Go point to any other formula.
You can't measure up to ours.
Just telling you that right now.
tim tompkins
Yes, sir.
rex jones
But to get to a point where we're able to expand not only on the show, but on the product line and be able to give people the cool, raw, real shit they missed from the 20 teens.
It's going to take a leap of faith from the audience to go ahead and pull the trigger and try to buy one of the products.
tim tompkins
Yeah, because that actually we to get the inventory, make sure it's all cohesive together.
You know, it requires a little bit of like upfront stuff.
rex jones
And let's tell the people how this works.
We source the ingredients.
We have manufacturing up in Denton, Texas, all right?
Just over by Dallas, right in that area.
Things get made.
They get tested.
They get sent down here to my warehouse.
And when you place an order on GoPrimalcore.com, that screen lights up and that order gets fulfilled immediately.
tim tompkins
You will get your warehouse.
It's not no random Joe Schmo.
rex jones
Not a rando.
It's not someone else that we're paying.
It's not a grift opportunity to sell on a product.
We are all in on this because it works and it's good for people.
It's the correct, moral, and right thing to do to shop with us, go to goprimalcore.com.
I'll provide the link.
Support American companies, support American businesses.
I mean, this is what it's all about for me, ultimately.
You can buy something that was made in a vat overseas and you can get a good price on it.
And it won't be what you ordered and it won't be what you wanted, but you can buy it.
Or you can buy from an American company, an American company that actually cares about you, actually respects you, and actually thinks that you're valuable enough to offer a quality service to.
So just check out this product.
Check out Elemental Drive.
Core mineral support.
tim tompkins
That's very popular.
rex jones
Free workouts and hormone boosters long before.
There were core minerals your body naturally was built on.
Zinc, copper, vitamin D3, magnesium, boron, and selenium.
Those are the things, especially as a guy, your doctors are going to tell you to take if they're smart and knowledgeable about supplementation.
Elemental Drive, it brings all those minerals back in a form built to boost strength, sharpen focus, and upspeed recovery.
Primal Core takes it further with ultra dosing, delivering clinical amounts in highly absorbable forms for maximum performance and benefits.
How it helps your body.
This thing boosts free testosterone.
I can make that claim.
It's a study.
It's true.
Dozens of studies, meta-analyses on all of this.
Enhances middle clarity by improving dopamine balance and focus.
Zinc is a nootropic.
People do not know this, but it is very true.
Reduces fatigue and irritability while promoting deep restorative recovery.
That's that magnesium.
That's that selenium.
Supports thyroid metabolism for steady, clean energy.
That's that selenium again and that D3.
And it's not just for men.
This is phenomenal for women too.
tim tompkins
Yeah.
rex jones
But you just got to think about it from a performance context.
If you're a guy and you're really looking for that boost, I would say you choose Elemental Drive.
tim tompkins
You know what's funny?
I was literally today was just looking at the lab results again.
Maybe, you know, we post this for people so that they can see it's free of anything negative you could think of.
rex jones
Yeah, we should have the COAs on the site.
We'll think about that.
They need to be viewable.
tim tompkins
They need to be viewable.
rex jones
But we got COAs right now.
Everything's third-party tested.
Everything's approved.
And like, I mean, this is the best blend I could come up with, guys.
This is really really good.
tim tompkins
Spent some time on this.
And I remember when you were talking about elemental drive, you were like, look, we want to do this right.
Ashwagana is pretty easy and straightforward.
rex jones
I want to have another product.
tim tompkins
I want to have another product.
rex jones
And it's the synergy that they have with each other that you've got to understand.
tim tompkins
And that's why you have the core fusion.
unidentified
Right.
rex jones
And it's just that bundle together where you get the KSM66 ashwagandha, the studied, the tried, the tested form with the active with analyd compound at a specific percentage.
And it's got the black pepper.
That looks like a small number.
You're like, oh, whatever.
Just another thing they threw in.
No, it makes things up to 16,000 times more absorbable through the gut.
So any high-quality supplement is going to have black pepper in it.
tim tompkins
And look, you could literally get this on a monthly basis for literally less than a lot of other products.
A lot of 30% off makes a big difference.
rex jones
Yes.
No, I totally agree.
I totally agree.
But, you know, that's enough of a plug.
That's enough of a show.
We've done a good show.
We've done a good plug.
And again, beyond the plugging, beyond any of it, understand a lot of people don't have money and a lot of people are scrounging very hard to stay alive.
And I am too.
I'm trying to figure out how to pay my bills, you know?
But at the end of the day, like, we're just appreciative that you're a listener.
We're appreciative that we're not talking to zero people.
I would be very appreciative if I was talking to 10 people.
You know what?
Like, anyone more than zero would be a great honor.
And it would mean that just, hey, like, it's us here having a dialogue about these real ideas.
But the fact that, hey, like, tonight, we got like about 700 people in here.
Got 700 people listening, 700 people having their own thoughts, going over all these various issues.
And I just want to say thank you for choosing to spend your time with us tonight.
tim tompkins
Yeah, we love you guys.
Honestly, feedback keeps us going.
And we're going to keep doing great, phenomenal shows moving forward.
Catch us on Tuesday.
Yeah, same time, 7:30.
And we will come back to great stuff.
rex jones
You can also catch me tomorrow.
I'll be doing a show.
I'll be doing that show probably around 6.
So you can catch me at 6 p.m.
tim tompkins
He's going to be start.
He's going to start doing solo shows Monday and Friday is the goal.
rex jones
Yes.
tim tompkins
We're actually going to try to up the empty as well and start trying to come out with Wednesday.
That way you guys just never have to not see our beautiful faces.
unidentified
Yes.
rex jones
And then my thing is, I think I'll put together a deep dive and you put together a deep dive and we have time for that twice a week.
But all right, phenomenal show.
Signing off.
unidentified
Modern life has left us out of balance.
Long ago, it was once said, certain remedies could grant a man the vitality of a horse.
For over 6,000 years, these natural remedies have been harvested and tested by generations.
Why create complex formulas when nature's roots are still in our hands?
Try Primal Core.
