||
| Show, welcome to the table. | ||
| Yo, Gray Area 44. | ||
| What's going, guys? | ||
| How are we doing? | ||
| How are we doing? | ||
| Pull up these comments. | ||
| Pull up the chat. | ||
| How are we all doing tonight? | ||
| Are we having a good time? | ||
| Shout out, Honey Badger. | ||
| Shout out, Naom. | ||
| Shout out, Samantha. | ||
| Shout out Thomas Blackfire. | ||
| How are you all doing tonight? | ||
| Good to see you guys. | ||
| Ah, there's the chat. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| Everyday new technology and improvement. | ||
| Hey, so guys, guys, look at this. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So, like I said, we're upgrading. | ||
| We're trying to do things bigger. | ||
| We're trying to do things better. | ||
| Now you guys can see your chats. | ||
| Cross-platform. | ||
| Cross-platform. | ||
| So you can kind of see what's happening on X and YouTube. | ||
| Sorry for you, Rumble folks. | ||
| People do not like technology. | ||
| So people don't like Rumble. | ||
| It's harder to integrate. | ||
| I don't know what it is. | ||
| It's not an option. | ||
| A lot of these platforms don't have it. | ||
| So you have to type in the esoteric codes to even get it to cross-stream. | ||
| Right, right, right. | ||
| And then now, oh, and now we also have super chats. | ||
| With the super chats, I have it set to where you can actually, because you know, sometimes, Rex, we're in the flow. | ||
| We're just talking, we're just yapping, and we don't really see the comment section. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| But if you super chat, we'll read it immediately. | ||
| Now, if you super chat, it actually, I forget what the threshold is. | ||
| You can see it when you go to it. | ||
| You basically get the ability to have it read on air. | ||
| So that way we'll discuss it. | ||
| That way, it actually cues us to read it. | ||
| It becomes a mini topic. | ||
| It becomes a mini topic, right? | ||
| So, super chats are now live as well. | ||
| You can find those linked. | ||
| We're going to figure out a better way to link it. | ||
| Yeah, we're trying out the new technology. | ||
| We're about like two-thirds of the way there. | ||
| You've got the new software running. | ||
| We've got Andrew being a badass and doing switching for us. | ||
| The only thing left really is the computer switch, which I personally cannot wait for. | ||
| But we're chugging along here and we do have a lot of interesting topics for y'all today. | ||
| We have really a Davos roundup of Carney and Trump that we wanted to cover. | ||
| And this is a chill stream. | ||
| Me and Tim are both extremely tired. | ||
| We're trying to figure out a lot of things behind the scenes. | ||
| But, you know, I heard Owen on the show like two or three days ago. | ||
| I was listening to Owen Schroeder, Tim. | ||
| And he was like, you know, a lesser host would miss a day or whatnot, but I'm a greater host. | ||
| So I would do every day on time. | ||
| And I'm like, well, I've been trying to do every day. | ||
| I can't even do every day. | ||
| And I certainly can't do it on time. | ||
| So we all have a lot to learn. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| He also has a lot of people managing his stuff. | ||
| Yeah, no. | ||
| I mean, he's got, he's got one guy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Really? | |
| Only Dominic? | ||
| Yeah, he's a soldier, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Damn. | |
| Yeah, he's a soldier, bro. | ||
| But like both of us, Tim, you're trying to bring like the next level of presentation. | ||
| I'm trying to bring consistency like every single day. | ||
| We both have a lot to, you know, achieve still, but we're chugging along. | ||
| I think the audience recognizes that. | ||
| Yes, 100%. | ||
| You're still working on it? | ||
| Yeah, for the YouTube people. | ||
| I'm about to post it in here. | ||
| Well, you know, I thought it was interesting. | ||
| I covered it a little bit. | ||
| I covered the WF Davos. | ||
| And I'm not sure if you're familiar with Rebel Media or Ezra Levant. | ||
| And I had a real strong disagreement with Ezra Levant on his whole like Palestine Gaza position. | ||
| That being said, the journalism I saw, and anyone who watched that show will know what I'm referencing. | ||
| We're not necessarily going to play it here. | ||
| He's on the streets in Davos. | ||
| And I mean, he walked up to Larry Fink of BlackRock. | ||
| Yeah, that's insane. | ||
| And is like interviewing him for like 15 minutes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Be like, why did you betray the world? | ||
| Why did you betray everybody? | ||
| It's like, dude, don't you want to live? | ||
| You're going to die. | ||
| You're going to die quick. | ||
| But Davos is interesting. | ||
| I think you said it, or maybe my roommate said it. | ||
| It's like, you know, it's this thing that's existed for a while, but it's become such a talking point, especially on the right wing. | ||
| People are like, World Economic Forum, you'll own nothing and be happy. | ||
| It's kind of ridiculous now to go to it. | ||
| And I think what we're going to play with the contrast of Carney and Trump, I mean, Mark Carney, the PM of Canada, literally saying like, the American world order is over. | ||
| Like, it's China's time now. | ||
| And then Trump comes out. | ||
| He's like, the wind news, they're fake. | ||
| They don't even use the wind news. | ||
| What's your thought on this? | ||
| You watched the whole thing. | ||
| I think I watched all of Trump's segments. | ||
| Right. | ||
| That's what I'm talking about. | ||
| It was an hour speech. | ||
| No exaggeration. | ||
| It was like an hour and like some change. | ||
| I struggled to get through it, but I did it just so that I could understand what he was trying to say. | ||
| And normally they're not even supposed to speak for that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| That's the problem. | ||
| Like the guy made it a bit. | ||
| And it was, instead of calling it the World Economic Forum, we should have called it the American Economic Forum because everybody, including their moms, was talking about only America. | ||
| And I'm like, does the rest of the world exist? | ||
| Well, you know, it's a very Confucianist thing that China is doing, letting us slit our wrists in the bathtub. | ||
| That's what it all is. | ||
| Like, why do they care? | ||
| Like, they're being successful. | ||
| They're winning ultimately. | ||
| Russia's having a much harder time, but they're still kind of on the same trajectory. | ||
| And then we're over here like, we want to kill all our relationships forever because we're the best. | ||
| But it just kind of begs the difference. | ||
| Like, what even is the point of the World Economic Forum? | ||
| Like, I'm sure you could go back to like maybe Biden. | ||
| Was probably more, you know, economic forum-like. | ||
| This one was just straight up just yap. | ||
| Well, I mean, it's a place where all of the global elites go, especially ones that are like big into the technology or very high into the governmental systems. | ||
| And it's basically like for the past at least five years, it's been like, how are we going to automate things? | ||
| How are we going to implement like these radical changes in technology? | ||
| Really, how are we going to assert control over like people or workers' lives? | ||
| I remember this one thing I saw, and I swear, like, you're going to think that this is BS when I say it to you, but they had a lady up. | ||
| I think this is in like 2023, and she's like, Yes, and we have the new headphones that measure the person's brainwave. | ||
| So, if they're on the computer and they're doing YouTube instead of tax work, we know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So, like, that's the type of place the WEF is. | |
| So, like, what do you think of that, Tim? | ||
| That's pretty good, right? | ||
| No, that is some black mirror type shit. | ||
| Seriously, there's some black mirror type stuff, you know? | ||
| Yeah, like at the end of the day, there's new technology, and I always tout like the light pill stuff. | ||
| Yeah, there's technology. | ||
| But there is stuff out there, of course, that like people will weaponize for their own good. | ||
| I don't agree with the fact that they have to do that. | ||
| Like, why do you need to monitor? | ||
| They're also getting really smart where there's like, I don't know, I'm sure, I'm sure they'll adopt this in the Asian cultures, where like if you take your eyes off the screen for a certain amount of time, like the AI can read your face and tell when you're doing that. | ||
| I know some of these like Chinese companies are doing stuff like that. | ||
| So, absolutely. | ||
| So, our main topic tonight, first thing is World Economic Forum. | ||
| Actually, the whole thing is World Economic Forum. | ||
| Yeah, that's all we got tonight. | ||
| That's all we got tonight. | ||
| But, you know, I tried to react to the lesser clips because I wanted to react to the more important stuff, which is the Carney-Trump exchange with you, because I wanted someone else's feedback on it. | ||
| Because it really is so insane. | ||
| And I watched the whole speech. | ||
| And, you know, like we have issues with Trump just being kind of low energy nowadays and maybe having some cognitive issues or whatever you're going to say. | ||
| I think this is one of his more funny speeches. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| And like, well, I mean, it's crazy, but you can tell he's just, he's tired. | ||
|
Powerless Yet Honest
00:03:07
|
||
| He's very, very tired. | ||
| It's very like labored and drawn out. | ||
| But he's like, yeah, you know, I'm kind of upset, but they don't even use the Windows. | ||
| They're very smart. | ||
| They're very smart. | ||
| Other people, not so much. | ||
| So very classic Trump. | ||
| We'll go ahead and watch that. | ||
| Are you ready for that? | ||
| Or do you want to watch Mark Carney, the Canadian PM? | ||
| I'm good with either, honestly. | ||
| Let's pull up the Canadian prime minister. | ||
| Let's pull up the Mark Carney clip about leaving the U.S. order. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To no limits, no constraints. | |
| On the other hand, I would like to tell you that the other countries, especially intermediate powers like Canada, are not powerless. | ||
| They have the capacity to build a new order that encompasses our values, such as respect for human rights, sustainable development, solidarity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the various states. | ||
| The power of the less power starts with honesty. | ||
| It seems that every day we're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry, that the rules-based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must. | ||
| And this aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable, as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself. | ||
| And faced with this logic, there is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along, to accommodate, to avoid trouble, to hope that compliance will buy safety. | ||
| Well, it won't. | ||
| So what are our options? | ||
| In 1978, the Czech dissident Vaslav Havel, later president, wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. | ||
| And in it, he asked a simple question, how did the communist system sustain itself? | ||
| And his answer began with a green grocery. | ||
| Every morning, the shopkeeper places a sign in his window, workers of the world unite. | ||
| He doesn't believe it. | ||
| No one does. | ||
| But he places the sign anyway to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. | ||
| And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists. | ||
| Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false. | ||
| Havel called this living within a lie. | ||
|
Invoking Global Change
00:13:54
|
||
| Positive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The system's power comes not from its okay. | |
| So he's talking about the dissolution of the rules-based order and what we have done to degrade that. | ||
| And I like I agree, of course, right? | ||
| Like we have degraded the quote-unquote rules-based order by bombing everyone during peace agreements and stealing people's presidents, whatever we want, giving 300 billion to nations to fight other wars. | ||
| But it all kind of falls apart when like someone like this guy, this guy is incredibly pro-Ukraine war, number one. | ||
| Like the Canadians are absolutely rabid about that. | ||
| And then number two, like he's just, he's just shipping himself with the new lover with China. | ||
| That's what this is. | ||
| And we'll get into that a little bit later in the clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What do you think? | ||
| Like, imagine, imagine being like French or being like Canadian, like the agency that you don't have. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wouldn't that make New Grow Hyper donated $5. | |
| Politics have devolved into soap operas and utter slop. | ||
| We agree. | ||
| That's why we're covering serious stuff today. | ||
| Totally agree. | ||
| Did everybody see that? | ||
| I hope everybody heard that. | ||
| Everyone had to have seen it. | ||
| I heard it. | ||
| I saw it. | ||
| It was loud. | ||
| It was very loud. | ||
| Yeah, we're trying out this new super chat feature because we don't always catch the chats specifically. | ||
| And there's some people that have something important to say. | ||
| So some people just want to make a point. | ||
| Some people want to just make a point. | ||
| So I'm going to pull this up for you guys to see. | ||
| If you guys go to streamlabs.com slash greater talks, you can just do what New Greper just did, where you can have your chat read over stream for everybody to hear. | ||
| And we're going to find a better way to do that. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I'm literally experimenting with this today. | ||
| This is the first time that we have implemented this, but I figure people want to support the channel, but they also want to have an ability to feel like they're part of the show. | ||
| And if you look on the right side, you can now see the chats coming in. | ||
| So we're doing new and bigger things. | ||
| But going back to the original, what were we saying? | ||
| We were talking about the clip. | ||
| I asked you a question about, you know, if you're from one of these countries, it doesn't have any agency, ultimately, like it's time to get a new pimp, right? | ||
| Don't you think that's true? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Like we're a bad pimp. | ||
| So, you know what's interesting? | ||
| And we'll get back to the clip very shortly. | ||
| So we have a guest coming on named Simon Dixon, and he'll be on February 5th. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he's like super knowledgeable about the world. | ||
| He made the following argument where he said that the United States at a certain point, obviously we all know the dollar won't be the reserve currency. | ||
| But what he thinks is that after they fall off, right? | ||
| There's not going to be like one big hedge honto anymore. | ||
| It's going to be everyone dominates their region and has a multipolar world. | ||
| Multipolar. | ||
| And that's what he said. | ||
| And that's what all the geopolitical experts that I watch say, like, especially Pepe Escobar, who I believe is a Brazilian journalist originally, but he goes all around the world. | ||
| And that's what everyone's talking about, ultimately. | ||
| And that's what Bricks is, is because Bricks recognizes at its core, like, we're not necessarily trying to do like world reserve currency. | ||
| China's like, look at what it did to the U.S. Like it hurts you almost more than it helps you in the long term because you have to take on the debt. | ||
| Yeah, and there's no mutual cooperation for that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So I think it's smart ultimately. | ||
| I think it's bad for America. | ||
| So I'm against Canada, you know, finding a new pimp. | ||
| We should be their pimp. | ||
| At some point, people are like, well, China, you got to watch out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The Congress are coming. | |
| The Chinese. | ||
| They're going to take the currency and they're going to control everything. | ||
| First of all, people don't trust China. | ||
| No. | ||
| Like, not even the Russians trust China enough to actually have the Chinese run everything. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They'll just be part of the world order. | ||
| I honestly think that India might be number one. | ||
| Well, that's what I was going to say. | ||
| Is like, we have been so bad in our trade relationships that Russia and India, countries that traditionally had massive beefs with China, have now been like, oh, well, I guess we're going to be friends now because they want to kill us, you know? | ||
| So economically speaking. | ||
| No, and I and I totally agree with that. | ||
| And the thing is, is like if India becomes number one, which they're on track to climbing, they might not beat us anytime soon, but they're a group of, they're a country that doesn't have beef with anyone except for maybe Pakistan. | ||
| But in general, they're not going out and starting wars. | ||
| So like, and they got a ton of people too. | ||
| This is the biggest thing is like, ultimately, how do you compete against an economy like China or India where they ultimately have just billions of people? | ||
| And then ultimately, we don't have billions of people. | ||
| And people are like, America is the center of the world. | ||
| It's like, yeah, because of the financial system. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And like, that's the one last pillar besides the military that hasn't really fallen yet. | ||
| Yes, I agree with you. | ||
| And he also said that that was a way in which America makes money as we create forever wars in which the military-industrial complex makes money to keep America afloat, essentially, and it keeps pumping. | ||
| So you have all these new strategies, proxy wars that are included in that too. | ||
| Let's go ahead and pull back up the video. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Watch more of Mark Carney. | |
| Truth, but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true. | ||
| And its fragility comes from the same source. | ||
| When even one person stops performing, when the green grocer removes his sign, the illusion begins to crack. | ||
| Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down. | ||
| Four decades. | ||
| Did I hear that right? | ||
| He said it's time for companies and countries to take their signs down. | ||
| What does he mean? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It's some like, you know, the whole point of English that makes it complicated for people to learn, at least a lot of the time, is like idioms and stuff. | ||
| I don't know what that idiom means about the green grocer taking his sign down. | ||
| Maybe just like saying close for business with the U.S. Maybe that's what maybe he's talking about no borders, global world order type of thing. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's watch it. | |
| For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we call the rules-based international order. | ||
| We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. | ||
| And because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection. | ||
| We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false. | ||
| That the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient. | ||
| That trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. | ||
| And we knew that international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity of the accused or the victim. | ||
| This fiction was useful. | ||
| And American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes. | ||
| So we placed the sign in the window. | ||
| We participated in the rituals and we largely avoided calling damn appreciate that. | ||
| Very kind. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| There's a lot more coming. | ||
| Like we're live all the time. | ||
| Tim, me do a huge show every Thursday and Sunday, as I'm sure you know. | ||
| Thanks for being a listener. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Yeah, we really appreciate that. | ||
| I hear feedback. | ||
| That's me. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But I mean, badass man. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. | ||
| But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons. | ||
| Tariffs as leverage. | ||
| Financial infrastructure is coercion. | ||
| Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. | ||
| You cannot live within the lie of mutual. | ||
| Okay, so now he's starting to talk about all the things that we've broken. | ||
| Let's rewind that like 30 seconds and listen to that again. | ||
| I want your take on that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. | ||
| Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy, and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. | ||
| But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons. | ||
| Tariffs as leverage. | ||
| Financial infrastructure is coercion. | ||
| Supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. | ||
| You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ooh, pause it. | |
| Oh, what do you think about that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, the hoes stepping out on us. | |
| Oh, that deserves a second one. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| They're tired of getting slapped in the face by the U.S., by Uncle Sam. | ||
| It's very true. | ||
| My, That was a very strong statement. | ||
| He, he practiced in the mirror for that one. | ||
| He's like, Trump, I got something to say to you. | ||
| He's watching hype edits. | ||
| No, but he's right, though. | ||
| Like, think about it. | ||
| We, we, I mean, there was a time period where we were actually doing the integrations. | ||
| We were trying to lead by example. | ||
| I mean, there was a genuine enthusiasm that we had right after World War II, where we genuinely wanted to help the rest of the world integrate into the dollar and do the things. | ||
| But he's, but now it's like, well, now that you need the dollar, right? | ||
| Well, fuck you, pay me if you're not going to do what I say. | ||
| Well, that's the interesting thing. | ||
| You know, I was watching Dew Dissidents and they made this point, and I didn't even know this. | ||
| And this is like, this is why it's key to learn basic information and to go through like the actual timeline of things like we do a lot of the time for people on the gray area. | ||
| They were like, look, the only time Article 5 has ever been invoked was us. | ||
| It was invoked because of Iraq. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So then the British and the Canadian, I think it was like, I think it was like Denmark or something. | ||
| They had like the highest casualty per capita rate. | ||
| Really? | ||
| Yeah, dude. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And like, we were the ones that invoked it. | ||
| So you think about the things. | ||
| Even Russia helped us. | ||
| You think about the things over the past 30 years. | ||
| It's, it's crazy. | ||
| But like we, we, like, we've actually, we've whined and asked for the most help. | ||
| So we're the abusive boyfriend. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| We're always trying to take her on day shit. | ||
| Go on. | ||
| So you like this. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| I mean, that's how that's how we treat them. | ||
| That's how we treat these industries. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Take some of these. | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| We want your oil too. | ||
| Take some of those, huh? | ||
| Seriously. | ||
| I mean, whack, But it sounds like they're tired of it. | ||
| The things that he's saying is like, look, when cooperation used to make sense for us, we used to do it. | ||
| And you can go, that's a left-wing lie. | ||
| He's a communist. | ||
| He just wants to work with China. | ||
| Well, I mean, I bet it's not a fun thing to wake up to 50% terrorists. | ||
| And the whole thing of like, it's to make manufacturing come back here and it's to bring money back to people. | ||
| 95% of the tariffs are paid by us. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| They're paid by us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| It's a tax. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Story time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
| Go ahead. | ||
| I went into Walmart just yesterday. | ||
| I have like a pretty good memory of like prices in general. | ||
| So I don't normally like I'm very much so. | ||
| I haven't been in Walmart for, you know, like a month. | ||
| Like I don't shop very often, but when I do, I still have the memory of what it used to cost. | ||
| I went in, four items, $80. | ||
| And those, those, I'm going to tell you what those four items were. | ||
| It was like a freaking cat litter box. | ||
| And what else was in that, was in that basket of goods? | ||
| Couple of food items. | ||
| And it was like, I was like, these prices are out of control. | ||
| No, it was a shower. | ||
| I had a little shower because I'm moving. | ||
| So I needed a new shower. | ||
| No, it was like a little or something. | ||
| The shower curtain pack. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| That thing used to be $10. | ||
| It was $20 now. | ||
| I was like, no effing way. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| No way. | ||
| And at the grocery store, because I was at the grocery store, there's a bit of a winter storm craze going on here. | ||
| Tim laughs at it because he's from somewhere that's actually cold. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| But I'm at the grocery store. | ||
| I'm looking at the ground beef. | ||
| It's like, $10.50 a pound? | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| Are you serious? | ||
| Bison used to be $650 when I was a teenager. | ||
| And everyone goes, well, Trump doesn't trade. | ||
| That is what it is. | ||
| Well, why haven't you broken up the big meatpacking industry? | ||
| Why are we shipping in beef from Argentina and deprioritizing our own farmers? | ||
| Why are we doing this? | ||
| Because the price per pound of beef that a cattle ranch will get paid is around like $4 or $4.50. | ||
| And the best part is, is I was watching a video, JBS, which is like the biggest meatpacking industry and it's in Brazil. | ||
| They spent $5 million prior to the Trump tariff situation. | ||
| And then they got a nice little, what is it called? | ||
| An exemption for their specific category in their specific region because they paid the $5 million. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And T. Blett says it's an excellent comment. | ||
| So I'll read it. | ||
| Corporate greed is not a leftist talking point. | ||
| It's a real thing. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Like these things are not like left-right dichotomy. | ||
| Like you're allowed to be mad at corporations for gouging you. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so now, and so now it's not even just the corporations. | ||
| You've got the countries. | ||
| You got the country of America involved with the corporations and the rest of these countries around the world are watching all this play out. | ||

Taking Greenland

|
Dear Greenland, you didn't give me the Nobel Peace Prize. | |
| Oh, bro. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As a result, I'm going to have to take your country. | |
| Sorry. | ||
| Oh, dude. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It has to happen. | |
| I needed that. | ||
| I needed it. | ||
| I know you've seen it. | ||
| I'm sure a lot of our audience members have as well. | ||
| If you've watched the Trump speech, he goes, Greenland, a big piece of land. | ||
| Can't really call it land. | ||
| It's a big piece of ice. | ||
| You can't write this stuff. | ||
| You couldn't come up with it with Like a thousand monkeys writing for a thousand years, you just couldn't do it. | ||
| You know, they say you do that, you get come up with Shakespeare eventually. | ||
| You could not come up with this. | ||
| There's no way. | ||
| There's no way. | ||
| What else is the he's? | ||
| I'm sure PM says a lot more. | ||
| Let's go ahead and go back to the audio, Andrew. | ||
| The multilateral institutions on which the middle powers have relied-the WTO, the UN, the COP, the architecture, the very architecture of collective problem solving are under threat. | ||
| And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions that they must develop greater strategic autonomy in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance, and supply chains. | ||
| And this impulse is understandable. | ||
| A country that can't feed itself, fuel itself, or defend itself has few options. | ||
| When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself. | ||
| But let's be clear-eyed about where this leads. | ||
| A world of fortresses will be poorer, more fragile, and less sustainable. | ||
| And there's another truth. | ||
| If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate. | ||
| Hegemons cannot continually monetize their relationships. | ||
| Allies will diversify to hedge against uncertainty. | ||
| They'll buy insurance, increase options in order to rebuild sovereignty. | ||
| Sovereignty that was once grounded in rules, but will increasingly be anchored in the ability to withstand pressure. | ||
| I want to pause it. | ||
| Yeah, so this is just coming to my mind. | ||
| This is a quick point because we want to get through the thing and we want to get to Trump because it's really funny. | ||
| So they're making a lot of points about their own security, their own energy, their own ability to take care of themselves, really. | ||
| The big thing that doesn't make sense to me about all of this, because like we've seen signaling from Europeans, also like this, we're like, hey, like, we're going to dump your bonds if you keep acting like this. | ||
| Like, we're going to trigger your financial crisis because that's the one card we have to play. | ||
| Right. | ||
| However, they've put themselves in a position, and I include Canada with that because they're kind of really aligned with the EU of like they can't work with Russia because Russia is the great Satan. | ||
| And back like three or four years ago, when we blew up Nordstream with Ukrainians, whatever, they were happy to pay three times the price for our gas. | ||
| They were happy to do it. | ||
| But things have gotten so bad that even the people engaged in kind of like a like Napoleonic war, like, hey, like, this is not, maybe our big brother in this is actually out to kill us. | ||
| So I'll tell you where they're going. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Now that Europe has now seen what the United States is doing, to Rex's point, they can't go with Russia. | ||
| Not our friend. | ||
| Can't go with China. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can't go with China. | |
| Right. | ||
| They're going to India. | ||
| And you're seeing in the last month, in even the last few weeks, Germany has now signed a deal, I think, with India. | ||
| You've got the rest of the European Union that is also going to be signing deals in which they're going to have the mutual cooperation because India is like a Switzerland in which their country is stable. | ||
| They have a lot of economic output and they're pretty peaceful people in which they're not about the enemies, right? | ||
| Because they got the Pakistan issue, but globally, like they're not involved in a proxy war with Russia or China or with us or anything. | ||
| And I'll shed light. | ||
| The Pakistan issue comes down to like all the okay. | ||
| So at some point, remember they drew the map. | ||
| Yeah, they drew the map, right? | ||
| Pakistan and India used to be one big conglomerate. | ||
| And then the British came in and said, all right, we're going to carve it up this way. | ||
| And then a lot of the Muslims shifted to, well, there's a lot of Muslims in India too, but like there is a big population that stayed in that region. | ||
| Well, India is mostly Hindi and then Pakistan's mostly Muslim. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And so then they've had previous beefs before, but then also Pakistan has been responsible for a lot of the terrorist attacks if you saw in the. | ||
| Oh, and who is our best friend? | ||
| Where do we have all the CIA bases? | ||
| Where are we partnering with? | ||
| We're partnering with Pakistan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Who gave them the nukes? | |
| And the only reason why we're like friendly with Pakistan is because we get to park our vehicles, park our planes, and we were able to attack Afghanistan and Iraq out of Pakistan. | ||
| We have bases there, essentially. | ||
| And then we got Kurt who says Europe will get cheap Mideast gas, not Russian gas. | ||
| You know, that's an interesting situation because as long as Israel, like our state in the region, really are attack dog, as long as they continue to amass power, I mean, we're going to be in control of that, right? | ||
| We're going to, we're going to basically decide, or they will in a cooperation with us. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So like America, we, the country, we criticize the country a lot. | ||
| We talk about like the decline. | ||
| We still have a lot of cards to play and there's still a lot of power. | ||
| And that's what could also scary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And a lot of these countries know that Donald Trump, this is his last like hurrah. | ||
| I mean, it's going to be a long three years, guys. | ||
| Like don't, don't be, don't be surprised if more things come out and we might end up by World War III by the end of his presidency. | ||
| So I know my carriage turns into a pumpkin at midnight. | ||
| I am aware of this. | ||
| I have to leave soon. | ||
| So I'm going to flap my feet three times. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And go back to Kansas, but we'll play out the clip. | ||
| So last, last point on that is they know that he's going to transition. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So all they're doing is just waiting for those three years. | ||
| I'm just worried that the damage is already done and will be even more done because they don't trust America enough. | ||
| Now, I guarantee you, this is my prediction. | ||
| I believe a Democrat is actually going to win the next election. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Oh, that's like, well, Timmy, you're five years old now. | ||
| It's about time to go to kindergarten. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's a no-brainer. | ||
| It's a no-brainer. | ||
| It's true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So that Democratic government, I mean, president is going to roll back every single thing that Trump has done. | ||
| And these countries know that. | ||
| It's just whether that sticks long term, whether they even want to make the deals after being burnt so bad because it's like they had the veil lifted from their eyes because they were drinking the Kool-Aid. | ||
| And that's what makes the threat of global escalation and conflict so real is because the only way that you're able to regain control when you're losing is by getting into a war. | ||
| I mean, look at Bush. | ||
| Bush was very unpopular in 9-11 happened. | ||
| Everyone loved him for a period of time. | ||
| We got a super chat from Plasma Stream on Rumble. | ||
| All right. | ||
| We don't want, I'm not going to read that. | ||
| In Europe, EU are not. | ||
| EU are not Europe. | ||
| EU are like 1,000 Jews enacting the Calergi plan. | ||
| This is just a part of it. | ||
| Let's not use slurs. | ||
| Let's not be rude to people. | ||
| We don't do that. | ||
| It's been the same routine since the voting process began. | ||
| DJT retirement plan in Israeli landlord. | ||
| Well, he'll be an Israeli landlord. | ||
| He'll own part of Gaza, the Trump Gaza city. | ||
| And for anybody who's just joining in, we have a new feature in. | ||
| You can see the chats flowing on the right side there. | ||
| Now we also have a couple people that have tested this out to where your super chat can actually be read. | ||
| If we're not paying attention to live, it'll be read out loud. | ||
| And we like to read comments. | ||
| We like to read comments. | ||
| You got a banger. | ||
| We'll read it. | ||
| 100%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| But this one makes sure that you can actually get your chat read. | ||
| It also supports the channel. | ||
| It's basically a way to hold a gun up to us and say, read it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You're 100% right. | ||
| That is exactly what it is. | ||
| So you can go ahead. | ||
| You can go to streamlass.com slash gray area talks. | ||
| You can find it there. | ||
| And one other caveat is it's not going to read the chat while we're playing a video, just so you guys know. | ||
| I said it to that because I don't want to interrupt people while there's something important that we're covering. | ||
| Sometimes I'm doing a deep dive and then like some guy just says, booga, booga, booga, boga, booga. | ||
| And it's like, you get the video interrupted. | ||
| So it's only when we're on this screen. | ||
| I want to add the Mr. Krabs money to it. | ||
| Yeah, I will do that. | ||
| I'll get that. | ||
| We'll play off the clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, go ahead and pull up the clip, Andrew. | |
| This room knows this is classic risk management. | ||
| Risk management comes at a price. | ||
| But that cost of strategic autonomy, of sovereignty, can also be shared. | ||
| Collective investments and resilience are cheaper than everyone building their own fortresses. | ||
| Shared standards reduce fragmentations. | ||
| Complementarities are positive sum. | ||
| And the question for middle powers like Canada is not whether to adapt to the new reality, we must. | ||
| The question is whether we adapt by simply building higher walls or whether we can do something more ambitious. | ||
| Now, Canada was amongst the first to hear the wake-up call, leading us to fundamentally shift our strategic posture. | ||
| Canadians know that our old comfortable assumptions that our geography and alliance memberships automatically conferred prosperity and security, but that assumption is no longer valid. | ||
| And our new approach rests on what Alexander Stubb, the president of Finland, has termed value-based realism. | ||
| Or to put another way, we aim to be both principled and pragmatic. | ||
| Principled in our commitment to fundamental values, sovereignty, territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, and respect for human rights. | ||
| And pragmatic in recognizing the progress is often incremental, that interests diverge, that not every partner will share all of our values. | ||
| So we're engaging broadly, strategically, with open eyes. | ||
| We actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be. | ||
| We are calibrating our relationships so their depth reflects our values. | ||
| And we're prioritizing broad engagement to maximize our influence, and given the fluidity of the world at the moment, the risks that this poses, and the stakes for what comes next. | ||
| And we are no longer just relying on the strength of our values, but also the value of our strength. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Well, very strong statements. | ||
| We covered it. | ||
| I mean, he's now saying, hey, like, we're leaving this American world order behind. | ||
| We're going to try to forge a new one based on values, whatever. | ||

| And, you know, the DJT didn't like that. | ||
| He's kind of, you know, did he go on before? | ||
| He went on after, I think. | ||
| I think we're going to watch him talk about Carney in the speech. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| That's why I'm excited to play it. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's kind of crazy because there's a lot of people in that audience, and all of these people are world leaders, by the way, listening to him say that that are going to side with Carney on this one. | ||
| Even it pains me, right? | ||
| Like I'm American. | ||
| I'm pro-nationalist. | ||
| Like, well, I mean, maybe not to the extreme level, but I am for my country. | ||
| I mean, you know, you see, you see how I'm censoring myself? | ||
| It almost well, we were talking about it, man. | ||
| We were talking about, you know, when we went to school, we pledged allegiance to the flag. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Right. | ||
| And they don't, they don't really do that anymore. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And Andrew was telling us off stream here. | ||
| He was like, he went in to do like this video recording. | ||
| He does a lot of freelance stuff. | ||
| And the teacher was in the classroom teaching the kids nationalism is bad. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Are you? | ||
| What? | ||
| Nationalism is bad? | ||
| That's what these kids are being taught now? | ||
| New world order, baby. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| I mean, in history class for me, it was nationalism was the thing that brought a country together. | ||
| It's why people have pride within one's nation. | ||
| How did that turn into such a bad thing? | ||
| Right. | ||
| It's the people. | ||
| Yeah, there's people that take it to an extreme who are just like, let's just burn the town down because we're American. | ||
| It's two sides of it, right? | ||
| Well, one side is like, America's a colonialist project. | ||
| It can never be redeemed. | ||
| It's evil. | ||
| We have to tear down the entire system and rebuild it. | ||
| It's like, it's like I went to the 21st Street Co-op when I was 20 years old and I went up there. | ||
| It's in UT and I'm talking to this girl. | ||
| It's like fat white lady. | ||
| And she's like, I'm an indigenous socialist. | ||
| And I'm like, well, what does that mean? | ||
| She goes, well, the white man has destroyed the planet, specifically the white man in America. | ||
| So the only solution to it is we go to the Central and South American tribes and use their ancient wisdom to heal the planet. | ||
| And like, and this is a person working on a master's degree. | ||
| So there's that side of it. | ||
| And then there's the Adolf Hitler 1488 Grouper like murder. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And we don't, we don't like, we don't subscribe to either. | ||
| We don't subscribe to either of those. | ||
| And like not just in the Groypers, I would call myself a Groyper, but like there are definitely sides of things that like we don't support. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And also, not that we were like trying, like somebody threw up a super chat. | ||
| Like in general, like the idea of the show is just to bring value to people in a way that actually is easy to digest. | ||
| There's a lot of shows that will go out there, try to be controversial, say something, throw out slurs, throw out like, you know, the Zionist and the shock and all. | ||
| Like this isn't like, this isn't the show for that. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This is a show where we have real discussions based on policy, based on ideas, based on the things that people care about outside of the right and left wing, like fake duopoly. | ||
| We reject that on the gray area. | ||
| That's why the show is called the graveyard. | ||
| And when we have guests on, we're bringing guests on that we may not 100% agree with. | ||
| I think I've disagreed with Dominic last stream on a couple of things. | ||
| Suleiman came on and he said some things that was like pro-Islam and things like that. | ||
| Now, we didn't go and attack him for his belief system. | ||
| It's about hearing people out and hearing what they actually believe because ultimately, if all you do is scream at each other, there is no solution because there is no dialogue. | ||
| So the show is about dialogue. | ||
| And that's why we're so happy to have such a vibrant chat of people that actually care because we want to talk about the things that y'all are interested in. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So it's not that we like want to, like, sometimes we genuinely miss the messages so much that pop up and we love the engagement. | ||
| We're really other times it's like there's certain things that we don't have to put out there because that is the that we're trying to curate the brand. | ||
| We're not going to be calling people the N-word. | ||
| We're not going to be throwing slurs at people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
People have thrown that one. | |
| Let's focus on the things that we can actually fix and things that we can actually change. | ||
| And if you're mad about something, approach it with a reasonable and rational argument that doesn't involve, you know, slandering someone. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Cause that's the only way that you can actually get your argument across. | ||
| And also, guys, keep this in mind. | ||
| The people that are in power don't really see the race of religion. | ||
| Oh, and they love that we do. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Because it keeps us divided. | ||
| We keep arguing. | ||
| We keep talking about things that don't matter. | ||
| And they get to just go on and keep on moving and actually controlling. | ||
| It's like, and me and Tim have decided that we want a better future for our kids where we don't have to deal with this stupid shit anymore. | ||
| So that's like, that's what the whole show is about. | ||
| That is the whole show. | ||
| That's whole point. | ||
| So we appreciate every single one of you guys that is in the chats, comments. | ||
| We're not singling anyone out. | ||
| We're just trying to make you guys clear of like what gray area is truly about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And if you like the show, you like the show. | ||
| If you don't, you don't. | ||
| Ultimately, you know, show is not for everybody. | ||
| It's for people that want to talk about things for real. | ||
| And I will say, a majority of the comments, everybody, you guys are fantastic. | ||
| I enjoy like we laugh off. | ||
| We like sometimes we're watching a video and somebody will throw something. | ||
| Something like the American platform is like 14-year-olds in cocaine. | ||
| I think I was tea black. | ||
| That is so funny, man. | ||
| Yeah, because it's true. | ||
| It's very true. | ||
| You want to get to Trump? | ||
| Let's get to Trump. | ||
| Let's pull up that next clip, Andrew. | ||
| Yeah, it's the first one. | ||
| It's not the QA. | ||
| It's not the QA. | ||
| It's like a 10-minute sizzle reel of all the good people. | ||
| New Grouper says this is the only show I'm going to be watching for a while. | ||
| Why is that new groper? | ||
| Are you tired of some of the stuff going on? | ||
| We love New Groper. | ||
| Let us know in the chats. | ||
| Why are you tired? | ||
| Why is this the only show? | ||
| We actually love the fact that you're tuning in with us. | ||
| Seriously, man. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I mean, it's the best show. | ||
| It's the best show anyone's ever seen. | ||
| People are saying you can't get any better. | ||
| And it's true. | ||
| And they say, my cabinet, they say, Trump, why do you watch Grey Area all the time? | ||

||
| I say, you know, I like those guys. | ||
| I like what they're talking about. | ||
| You know, that Tim's a real sharp guy. | ||
| You know, that Rex, you know, sometimes he's a little tough. | ||
| He's a little tough, but not so much. | ||
| Not so much. | ||
| Not too much. | ||
| Not so much. | ||
| All right, go ahead, Andrew. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. | ||
| But I won't do that. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Now everyone's saying, oh, good. | ||
| That's probably the biggest statement I made because people thought I would use force. | ||
| I don't have to use force. | ||
| I don't want to use force. | ||
| I won't use force. | ||
| Pause it. | ||
| All the United States is asking for. | ||
| I don't want to use force. | ||
| I won't use force, I promise. | ||
| And it's like actively bombing. | ||
| It's so crazy. | ||
| I mean, we're pausing straight into it. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| We should let it play. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| You're good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're good. | |
| There's a place called Greenland where we already had it. | ||
| We could have kept that piece of land and we didn't. | ||
| So they have a choice. | ||
| You can say yes, and we will be very appreciative. | ||
| Or you can say no and we will remember. | ||
| And the fact is, no nation or group of nations is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the United States. | ||
| Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped territory sitting undefended in a key strategic location between the United States, Russia, and China. | ||
| It's exactly where it is, right? | ||
| Smack in the middle. | ||
| It wasn't important nearly when we gave it back. | ||
| You know, when we gave it back, it wasn't the same as it is now. | ||
| It's not important for any other reason, you know. | ||
| Yeah, that's not the audio, our problem. | ||
| It's the video itself. | ||
| It's Trump. | ||
| Trump sounds robotic. | ||
| And it's his mic. | ||
| It's something. | ||
| I mean, this is beyond period. | ||
| Just keep playing it. | ||
| Just keep playing it. | ||
| It's good. | ||
| Everyone talks about the manuals. | ||
| There's so many places. | ||
| There's no rare earth. | ||
| No such thing as rare earth. | ||
| There's rare processing. | ||
| There's so much rare earth. | ||
| And this to get to this rare earth, you got to go through hundreds of feet of ice. | ||
| That's not the reason we need it. | ||
| We need it for strategic national security and international security. | ||
| This enormous, unsecured island is actually part of North America on the northern frontier of the world. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I can't. | ||
| There's no such thing as rare. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How many times can you repeat the same word in the sentence? | |
| That's kind of his how he talks. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's excessive in this speech. | |
| And you know, I don't need to rare earth in the rare earth. | ||
| Some call it the rarest earth, the rarest earth they've ever seen. | ||
| It's not called rare earth. | ||
| It's uh, it's called uh rare processing. | ||
| You go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can't make this stuff up, folks. | |
| Western hemisphere, that's our territory. | ||
| It's the United States alone that can protect this giant mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it, and improve it, and make it so that it's good for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us. | ||
| And that's the reason I'm seeking immediate negotiations to once again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States. | ||
| Just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history, as many of the European nations have acquired, there's nothing wrong with it. | ||
| But this would not be a threat to NATO. | ||
| This would greatly enhance the security of the entire alliance, the NATO alliance. | ||
| The United States is treated very unfairly. | ||
| So we had 31 bases in Greenland during the Cold War. | ||
| Right now, we only currently have one. | ||
| We had 31 bases, and we had provisions in there that I'm sure, like if we activated them again, they would let us do the same exact thing. | ||
| Yeah, I'm about to, I'm about to send you Andrew. | ||
| Andrew, for that? | ||
| There's a tweet that he made of what I think this was two days ago about Greenland. | ||
| My boy told me today that he said something about he might be dropping the issue of Greenland. | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| Yeah, I'm not sure. | ||
| And that's even scarier. | ||
| If he says he's not going to do it, he's probably going to bomb them immediately. | ||
| You know, he always does that little pump fake. | ||
| He's like, not going to do it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Not going to do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm going to do it. | |
| Right. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Pull up that tweet that I just sent you on X. | ||
| I think, yeah, he had a meeting with the Secretary General of NATO. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Mark Rutte. | ||
| And I'll actually pull it up here too, so that we can read it. | ||
| And this is the guy that called Trump Daddy. | ||
| Oh, I forgot. | ||
| Okay, before we show, really quick, really quick. | ||
| I don't have it prepared for the show, but Due Dissidence covered it. | ||
| Jesse Waters, we talked about him on the show. | ||
| He loved the Fox host. | ||
| He goes, Daddy's home and he has needs. | ||
| That's what he said about him going to the WEF. | ||
| I'm not kidding. | ||
| No, I swear. | ||
| And, you know, the worst part is Trump said daddy at the WEF. | ||
| I swear to God. | ||
| They call me Daddy. | ||
| They call me Daddy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's exactly what he said. | |
| I'm not even kidding you. | ||
| That was the point at which I'm like, this isn't real life. | ||
| This is a simulation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Let's pull up this and we'll read the caption from MAGA Voice. | ||
| If we got it on screen. | ||
| Yeah, go ahead, pull that up. | ||
| And this is the caption, and we'll read the actual tweet. | ||
| It's just the propaganda is so crazy. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| Breaking. | ||
| President Trump stuns the world by announcing a solution to Greenland. | ||
| We're just going to take it. | ||
| That's my solution. | ||
| Paris are canceled and Trump is happy. | ||
| Trump is truly the best negotiator. | ||
| We'll read the tweet. | ||
| Based upon a very productive meeting I've had with Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutter. | ||
| He wants to suck me. | ||
| He's a very good man. | ||
| We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic region. | ||
| This solution, if consummated, I mean, come on, bro. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| Consummated in my bed. | ||
| If I get to screw them properly, it will be a great one for the United States of America and all NATO nations. | ||
| Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. | ||
| Additional discussions are being held concerning the Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. | ||
| Further information will be made available as discussions progress. | ||
| Vice President JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, and various others as needed will be responsible for the negotiations. | ||
| They report directly to me. | ||
| It's always me. | ||
| I'm in charge. | ||
| Thank you for your attention to this matter, DJT. | ||
| What do you think of that, Tim? | ||
| President of the United States of America. | ||
| You know, I'm at a loss for words. | ||
| Like, I don't know. | ||
| I mean, this is how King operates. | ||
| And that's my view on the whole situation. | ||
| I swear, tariff is like the only thing that he has as a weapon. | ||
| Right. | ||
| He's like, he's got the carrot and then he's got like the big tariff stick that he's just coming to bash you with. | ||
| That's the only thing. | ||
| And you know, it's like anything, right? | ||
| Like you go through a hard period of time and it forces you to improve and get better. | ||
| So ultimately, like when we throw a tariff on a country like Russia, for example, after the Ukrainian war starts, it makes them suffer. | ||
| It hurts their economy initially. | ||
| But because of being spurred to survive or die, they ultimately come out stronger from it. | ||
| You are literally in my mind right now. | ||
| Right. | ||
| To talk about it, I was just about to say that what these things do is America has these, like unironically Trump cards, right? | ||
| In which they know there are certain things that we can do to pull levers of power, right? | ||
| Swift financial banking systems, one of those things. | ||
| Now we got sips with bricks, right? | ||
| So that was one thing that, like, okay, you don't press this button unless it's absolutely necessary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's just like, yeah, how many times can I get it? | |
| How many times? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| That's that's the nuclear option. | ||
| So now that that's happened, the rest of the world sees that. | ||
| And now they're making long-term planning in order to counteract that. | ||
| Second thing now is like, okay, we didn't know how powerful tariffs were in the United States and how much of a lever that was to bringing people under our control. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| Now other countries are now trading with other countries to supplement what America would have been doing in terms of consumption. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Because we are a consumption economy. | ||
| That is why they want to do the tariffs because we just buy 100%. | ||
| And social media is powerful. | ||
| And when you see the president of the United States of America say something, you're like, oh, wow, this is crazy. | ||
| And I imagine that's how it is across the world, especially for these countries that we're adversarial to. | ||
| But at the end of the day, like social media doesn't control the planet, right? | ||
| Natural gas and oil control the planet. | ||
| Nuclear energy controls the planet. | ||
| Resources, labor, food control the planet. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So even if you have one guy that technically has the most power on the planet and can do whatever he wants as U.S. president while we're still a hegemon somewhat, like it's, it's not, it's not a good thing. | ||
| Just because it's like, like, it's like, based, cool. | ||
| Like, it happens. | ||
| It's like, yeah, he's doing it and exercising power and then spending that power that we can't get back. | ||
| And that's what I don't like. | ||
| Well, the thing I don't like specifically more than that is a lot of people don't do their homework and they don't think on a macro level to understand the implications. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They just like, hoorah, Trump did something fantastic. | |
| And it's like, you know, you can tell I hate too. | ||
| And the same people I hate too at the same time. | ||
| Like, you don't go into the situation without having all the variables necessary to understand what's actually good and what the butterfly effects for. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| That's that's the whole equation, right? | ||
| And it's very hard for me to get behind anyone's side because the Democrats do it the same exact way. | ||
| When Biden was doing all these things for like the this is what caused me to vote for Trump. | ||
| It's the one-two punch, man. | ||
| It's Biden weaponizing Swift and making them come up with SIPS. | ||
| And then it's Trump weaponizing the tariffs and making them trade with each other instead of us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And then imagine, remember that last week's deep dive right on Sunday where we talked about the Russia situation and what actually prompted them? | ||
| That was so eye-opening for me. | ||
| You have no idea. | ||
| And for you guys, and if you guys didn't catch last Sunday, basically all you need to know about that deep dive is that NATO and the United States is directly responsible after the Cold War for why Russia and the United States are in conflict with each other. | ||
| We expanded NATO when we promised not to. | ||
| We said not one more inch. | ||
| Not one more. | ||
| And we added like 14 more countries to it. | ||
| We added, yes, we added a bunch of countries to them, moved up to their doorstep. | ||
| And then the worst part was we sent them into an economic depression, essentially, making their inflation go insane. | ||
| People couldn't afford food because we had this thing called shock therapy, in which isn't that nice? | ||
| Shock therapy. | ||
| It doesn't even sound good. | ||
| That's the name that they chose. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That sounds like a torture program. | ||
| You know, you know, maybe the wife's being too loud, so you need to zap her in the brain. | ||
| You know, that's how these people think at the end of the day. | ||
| Or you just zap the dog. | ||
| Imagine how sick you have to be to be one of these like financiers that we talked about, these oligarchs that America, like the our financial experts, that we sent into Russia to carve the country up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And those oligarchs, there was like seven oligarchs that controlled 50% of Russia's economy because they sold everything for dirt cheap, essentially, to think that that's the quickest way you get to capitalism. | ||
| We can't let communism come back, guys. | ||
| This is our only chance after the Soviet Union falls apart. | ||
| So you just got to do communism or the corporations on everything. | ||
| They didn't want to do a genuine, like a gradual progression to where you have systems in place and you allow people to get used to not being in a communist society. | ||
| Because look, the Russians weren't happy under a communist society. | ||
| There's the whole reason why all those Soviet countries broke apart from each other. | ||
| It just wasn't working. | ||
| They were starving. | ||
| But then America goes in and they're like, let's just pour gasoline on the fire. | ||
| We're going to grape you now. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| So, you know, this is this is how these things go. | ||
| So let's go back to the business. | ||
| Let's go back to the dear leader, Trump, and watch that. | ||
| Bye, NATO. | ||
| I want to tell you that. | ||
| And when you think about it, nobody can dispute it. | ||
| We give so much and we get so little in return. | ||
| And I've been a critic of NATO for many years. | ||
| And yet I've done more to help NATO than any other president by far or than any other person. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You wouldn't have NATO if I didn't get involved in my first term. | |
| The United States was paying for virtually 100% of NATO. | ||
| And I got that stopped. | ||
| I said, that's not fair. | ||
| But then, more importantly, I got NATO to pay 5%. | ||
| And now they were paying. | ||
| And now they are paying. | ||
| So something nobody said was. | ||
| No, he's right about this. | ||
| I have to give Trump credit. | ||
| Like NATO and the European countries were not paying their fair share. | ||
| I can pull up a graph some other time. | ||
| It's a part of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
| Go ahead. | ||
| No, but like I'm just saying, like, you know, baked in between there, I can't just be like, aha, everything Trump did was awful. | ||
| Like this is a win, right? | ||
| Because we were paying a majority of the budget towards NATO. | ||
| And it's basically like having like, you know, a security guard that you're not paying for sitting in your backyard defending your territory. | ||
| Meanwhile, the security guard lives all the way across town. | ||
| So, yeah, I mean, that's, that's a win, I would say, but the rest of it, nah. | ||
| It's a win from the financial perspective of the U.S. military because it means they have to spend less money. | ||
| However, for these countries that have these really large social welfare programs and systems, you're essentially like, it's like you're just going to take away heroin from someone. | ||
| And they'd be like, yeah, you have to figure this all out on your own. | ||
| And ultimately, it's what like Mark Carney ultimately, I mean, Canada's right next to us. | ||
| It's right next to America, but things are so like they don't trust us to a degree. | ||
| Now they're willing to work with China over us. | ||
| And you look at the EU and they would never do it. | ||
| They're our friends. | ||
| They need us. | ||
| And who knows in three years what happens, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| China working with Canada is something I did not think was on the bingo card. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| Oh, yeah, big time. | ||
| Let's watch it, dear leader. | ||
| That we will never go up higher than 2%. | ||
| But they went to 5% and now they're paying the 5%. | ||
| They didn't pay the 2%, and now they're paying the 5%. | ||
| And they're stronger for it. | ||
| And they have an excellent, by the way, Secretary General who's possibly in the room. | ||
| Mark, are you here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, he's here. | |
| Hello, Mark. | ||
| But Israel has been an amazing place for so many years, but then they went bad with their policies. | ||
| Look, here's the thing, Mark. | ||
| We're going to take care of you. | ||
| You don't want your country to burn down, do you? | ||
| It'd be a very bad thing. | ||
| You know, we're your partner, Mark. | ||
| We're in this together. | ||
| I want your country to do good. | ||
| I want NATO to do too good. | ||
| You just got to, look, you got to pay me the Vig in an envelope every month, okay? | ||
| You got to show up to the, you got to show up to the Satch Realities. | ||
| You got to, you got to pay me. | ||
| It's Tony Soprano. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Marco, Marco, where are you? | ||
| Marco, hello. | ||
| There you are. | ||
| I found you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I found you. | |
| Exactly. | ||
| More dear leader, please. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Keep going. | |
| 20 years ago was a great country, and now it's got problems, but we're helping them. | ||
| And those 50 million barrels, we're going to be splitting up with them, and they'll be making more money than they've made in a long time. | ||
| Venezuela is going to do fantastically well. | ||
|
Venezuela's Oil Boom
00:15:56
|
||
| We appreciate all of the cooperation we've been giving. | ||
| We've been giving great cooperation. | ||
| Once the attack ended, the attack ended, and they said, let's make a deal. | ||
| More people should do that. | ||
| But Venezuela is going to make more money in the next six months than they've made in the last 20 years. | ||
| Every major oil company is coming in with us. | ||
| It's amazing. | ||
| It's a beautiful thing to see. | ||
| The leadership of the country has been very good. | ||
| They've been very, very smart. | ||
| Because of my landslide election victory, the United States avoided the catastrophic energy collapse, which befell every European nation as it pursued. | ||
| Okay, so he's talking about a catastrophic energy collapse. | ||
| Oh, what happened to Europe? | ||
| It was that pipeline that blew up. | ||
| And he's like, you know, what pipeline? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I didn't see a pipeline. | |
| I prevented that happening to us, too. | ||
| It's like, well, I guess, yeah, we didn't blow our own stuff up. | ||
| We blew their stuff up. | ||
| And somehow that made it's like, oh, you know, they had this energy crisis. | ||
| Where'd that come from? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, that was the Ukrainians, not us. | |
| And it's like, why would the Ukrainians hurt Europe, which is their biggest friend and partner in all of it? | ||
| It makes zero sense until you start approaching it from the mafia dawn. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| No, maybe we blow up the pipeline. | ||
| Maybe we don't. | ||
| And by the way, if you find any of this ridiculous or funny, this whole clip goes on, he goes on for an hour and like 10 minutes. | ||
| I kid you not. | ||
| When I saw it, I thought like, oh, it's an hour video. | ||
| I was like, ah, surely it's just going to be him talking for like 10, 15 minutes, maybe 20. | ||
| You know, he's the president. | ||
| And then there's some other speakers in between. | ||
| So I'm thinking I'm going to sit down and listen to like multiple people. | ||
| No, it is Trump speaking in full form. | ||
| I got to give him props, man. | ||
| He's doing it like a live stream where like, we're already an hour in, and this guy's just yapping to himself in a big room, just going on off. | ||
| There's no transcript here. | ||
| He doesn't have a teleprompter. | ||
| He's just going on for an hour and 10 minutes. | ||
| And it must be fun. | ||
| You know, it must be fun for him to do it at a certain level. | ||
| You know, that's part of why you want the job. | ||
| It's like he gets to lecture everyone. | ||
| Right. | ||
| You know, that's exactly what he did. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| You can go back. | ||
| More, more, dear leader. | ||
| The Green News scam. | ||
| Perhaps the greatest hoax in history. | ||
| The Green News scam, windmills all over the place. | ||
| Destroy your land. | ||
| Destroy your land. | ||
| Every time that goes around, you lose $1,000. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're supposed to make money with energy, not lose money. | |
| There are windmills all over Europe. | ||
| There are windmills all over the place. | ||
| And they are losers. | ||
| One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses and the worst that country is doing. | ||
| The United Kingdom produces just one-third of the total energy from all sources that it did in 1999. | ||
| Think of that, one-third. | ||
| And they're sitting on top of the North Sea, one of the greatest reserves anywhere in the world, but they don't use it. | ||
| And that's one reason why their energy has reached catastrophically low levels with equally high prices, high prices, very low levels. | ||
| Think of that. | ||
| One-third. | ||
| And you're sitting on top of the North Sea. | ||
| And they like to say, well, you know, that's depleted. | ||
| It's not depleted. | ||
| It's got 500 years. | ||
| They haven't even found the oil. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The North Sea is incredible. | |
| So he says somewhere, and I think they skipped it when he was talking about the windmills and the wind farms and stuff like that. | ||
| He was basically saying this is a total waste. | ||
| And then he goes on to say specifically that China produces all the windmills, but they don't build any themselves to have in their backyard. | ||
| They make a fortune selling these windmills to very stupid people. | ||
| He insulted an animal object. | ||
| He's like, the windmill is like, what did he say? | ||
| It was dumb or something. | ||
| Yeah, he said it was stupid. | ||
| He said it was stupid. | ||
| And he said, China's profiting off a building. | ||
| Now, like, sometimes I'm like, you know what? | ||
| There's no, like, do these things have merit? | ||
| And often, like, you just have to go do a quick, like, fact check. | ||
| Andrew, can you just quickly pull up that graphic I sent you of the energy consumption? | ||
| And it's just like, it doesn't take very long to do, you know, a simple citizen fact check just to see like, is China really doesn't have any windmills? | ||
| I even said this to myself. | ||
| I'm like, China has to have like massive amounts of windmills. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| Right. | ||
| And the thing is, for me, is like, I'm not necessarily a quote unquote clean energy guy. | ||
| I like nuclear. | ||
| If you consider that to be clean, I do think that that is the future because it's sustainable over thousands of years. | ||
| Ultimately, other things are not. | ||
| But just like they don't even use the windmills, they just sell them to other people. | ||
| He just lies. | ||
| He just lies. | ||
| So look at this graphic, guys. | ||
| U.S. versus China and electricity generation. | ||
| And then you look at wind. | ||
| Look at the United States versus China. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| Right. | ||
| They're producing way more of pretty much everything. | ||
| And they're actually going down in coal because they're trying to do things that are increasing the leading cause of death is lung cancer. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Serious problem, air pollution over there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| They're wiping us off the map with solar. | ||
| That's insane. | ||
| That is pretty nuts. | ||
| Elon talked about that at his dog speech. | ||
| Maybe we'll save that for Sunday, do a quick react to it because that was also pretty interesting. | ||
| But the point is that he just lies. | ||
| It's not true. | ||
| He just goes on, says it with conviction, and then it just becomes true. | ||
| Remember, we collected $18 trillion from the tariffs. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I'm like, 18? | ||
| I want some of that. | ||
| Where is that? | ||
| Yeah, where is it at? | ||
| It's like, oh, we have to give it to Ukraine now. | ||
| But it's like, it's like actually like 300 billion. | ||
| And that's like the maximum you would typically get per year unless you like jacked it all the way up. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And he won't even hit $1 trillion by the end of his presidency at this rate. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Well, it's all, it's all, oh, the deal is made 10 years. | ||
| They'll give us X amount of money. | ||
| It's so incredible. | ||
| They gave me a plane, blah, blah, blah. | ||
| And it's just like, well, if this is all true, like when do our lives improve? | ||
| Maybe the lives of the people that own the data centers improve. | ||
| You know, maybe things get better for them, but for the average American, the average American has to pay for that data center. | ||
| They buy groceries. | ||
| You know, we all buy groceries here. | ||
| These people don't buy groceries. | ||
| They don't even have a list. | ||
| They just like send the butler, go pick up the groceries. | ||
| Send the butler's butler. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But yeah, go back to that video. | ||
| But it's just really sad just seeing all these things play out. | ||
| And I was floored when I went into Walmart, man. | ||
| Like that used to be like the mecca of just being cheap. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| And I'm still like conscious about like what I spend. | ||
| I like to budget in general. | ||
| And for me, walking out with four items and it's $80, I was like outrageous. | ||
| I was like, I couldn't even imagine if I wasn't single and I didn't have like, you know, things going for me. | ||
| And I was just like, I had a wife. | ||
| I had kids. | ||
| I had to like. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| How do you pay for a child? | ||
| I got friends that are dads. | ||
| You know, I got a couple of friends that are dads. | ||
| Insane. | ||
| You got to have some crazy streams of income coming in to supplement or you better be working two jobs, which actually the number of job people who have multiple jobs is like massive and on the rise. | ||
| So I feel bad for anybody who's dealing with that. | ||
| I used to do that at one point, but we weren't in inflation. | ||
| So, all right, go back to that video. | ||
| They don't let anybody drill environmentally. | ||
| They don't let them drill. | ||
| China makes almost all of the windmills. | ||
| And yet I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China. | ||
| Did you ever think of that? | ||
| That's a good way of looking at it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Smart. | |
| China's very smart. | ||
| They make them, they sell them for a fortune. | ||
| They sell them to the stupid people that buy them, but they don't use them themselves. | ||
| They put up a couple of big wind farms, but they don't use them. | ||
| They just put them up to show people what they could look like. | ||
| They don't spin. | ||
| They don't do anything. | ||
| They use the thing called coal mostly. | ||
| But China goes with the coal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They go with oil and gas. | |
| Sorry, can we pull up that chart real quick? | ||
| This is not true. | ||
| Can we just pull up that chart real quick? | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| Fact-checking in real time here. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| We use more coal than them, and they have more wind than us. | ||
| Where are we getting these facts and figures? | ||
| Who's the guy, the yes man in the room that's just like either telling him these things or you think he's just coming? | ||
| I think he comes up with it. | ||
| Yeah, I think I think he just comes. | ||
| Yeah, we're better than them, right? | ||
| We do a better job at everything. | ||
| Yes, sir, Mr. President. | ||
| We do a better job at everything. | ||
| And we get, we get, they don't even have windows. | ||
| They don't even know what MM is. | ||
| What is MNML? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's like, yeah, you're 100% right. | ||
| Maybe he just goes on there and says whatever he wants. | ||
| I'm imagining Trump like visiting China and like standing next to or just looking up at a windmill and saying like, answer me. | ||
| Why do you exist? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why are you real? | |
| I thought you weren't real. | ||
| I thought you didn't exist. | ||
| Oh, it's so good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, go back to the video. | |
| They're starting to look at nuclear a little bit. | ||
| And they're doing just fine. | ||
| The United States cares greatly about the people of Europe. | ||
| We really do. | ||
| I mean, look, I am derived from Europe, Scotland and Germany. | ||
| 100% Scotland, my mother. | ||
| 100% German, my father. | ||
| And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilization. | ||
| I want to see it do great. | ||
| That's why issues like energy, trade, immigration, and economic growth must be central concerns to anyone who wants to see a strong and united West for national and international security and to keep our very energetic and dangerous potential enemies at bay. | ||
| Is this land on which we're going to build the greatest golden dome ever built? | ||
| We're building a golden dome that's going to just by its very nature going to be defending Canada. | ||
| And they said, I gave Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. | ||
| They should be grateful also, but they're not. | ||
| I watched your prime minister yesterday. | ||
| He wasn't so grateful. | ||
| Emmanuel Macron, I watched him yesterday with his beautiful sunglasses. | ||
| What the hell happened? | ||
| I said, Emmanuel, you're going to be doubling or tripling. | ||
| Okay, so he's referencing Macron, who we often talk about on the show, the French prime minister. | ||
| He's got like a bloodshot eye or something. | ||
| So he wore like aviator glasses. | ||
| He's like, what the hell happened to this guy? | ||
| Yeah, he's just roasting everybody. | ||
| This is like one of those royal roast sessions. | ||
| Yeah, but go ahead. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| I bet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm looking up how much the golden dome cost. | |
| Gazillion dollars, maybe? | ||
| Oh, it's billion. | ||
| Quadrillion. | ||
| Guys, this is coming directly from your tax money. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| But we need it to protect ourselves from all the people we provoked. | ||
| Don't you understand? | ||
| It's very important. | ||
| You're so right. | ||
| You're so right. | ||
| Because here, who's the thing? | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| Who wants to directly attack the United States, though, in general? | ||
| I don't think anybody wants to do it. | ||
| We're trying to make people want to do it. | ||
| Like, we're trying really hard. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| Because it's like, you know, I've been watching the Fallout series, man. | ||
| I've really been enjoying it. | ||
| And ultimately, Voltec is like, yeah, we got to drop the bomb ourselves to ensure our profit model. | ||
| And that's literally how the defense industry works, you know, on a micro level. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| So Mr. Wick says 200 billion. | ||
| So the actual amount cost estimates, the official estimate is about 175 billion over billion over three years. | ||
| To the B. Congressional budget office estimate could be 500 plus billion over 20 years for a serious system. | ||
| Why don't we spend more? | ||
| That doesn't sound like think tank estimates go as high as 800 billion to 3.6 trillion, depending on the scope and how much space is based off of the interceptors that you would need. | ||
| And by the way, we're bigger than Israel, not even by a little. | ||
| New Jersey is the size of Israel. | ||
| We got 50 states and most of them are bigger than NJ. | ||
| I mean, it reaches a point as to where like, okay, we can't have healthcare. | ||
| We can't close the bases down. | ||
| Apparently, that's too expensive, but we can build the greatest missile defense thing ever seen before. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Because we need it to protect ourselves against all the people we've provoked. | ||
| And like, that's my point. | ||
| But isn't that true? | ||
| No, you're right. | ||
| Because the only person I can think of that we would have to defend against that would even have a chance would be China or Russia. | ||
| Right. | ||
| No, 100%. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Keep going. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| He said, here's the story, Emmanuel. | ||
| The answer is you're going to do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're going to do it fast. | |
| And if you don't, I'm putting a 25% tariff on everything that you sell into the United States on a 100% tariff. | ||
| We'll rewind a little bit and play it again. | ||
| But I mean, you don't do it. | ||
| You don't do it fast. | ||
| I'm going to hit you. | ||
| I'm going to hit you. | ||
| You're on that street for me. | ||
| You're on that street for me. | ||
| You work that corner. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Good grief. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Keep going. | |
| Yeah, rewind it just a little bit. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Emmanuel, you're going to be doubling or tripling. | ||
| What the hell happened? | ||
| I said, Emmanuel, you're going to be doubling or tripling. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no, no. | |
| I said, here's the story, Emmanuel. | ||
| The answer is you're going to do it. | ||
| You're going to do it fast. | ||
| And if you don't, I'm putting a 25% tariff on everything that you sell into the United States and a 100% tariff on your wines and champagne. | ||
| And that's about 10 times more than what I'm requesting. | ||
| And you're going to do it. | ||
| I don't want to go public with it, but you may make me do that. | ||
| No, no, Donald, I will do it. | ||
| But homes are built for. | ||
| I don't want to go public with it on the roadstage. | ||
| Oh, okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You made me. | |
| You made me do it. | ||
| You made daddy mad. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, my God, dude. | |
| I love these streams, man. | ||
| And it's like crazy because, you know, we're not even trying to make fun of the president. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're just like, it's just there. | |
| It's like parody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If Biden was up there and he was just like, what am I doing here? | |
| We would be roasting him the same way. | ||
| Like it's, there's no, there's no difference between the two of them. | ||
| But this is so funny. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, we'll keep it rolling, Andrew. | |
| People, not for corporations and America will not become a nation of renters. | ||
| We're not going to do that. | ||
| That's why I have signed an executive order banning large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. | ||
| It's just not fair to the public. | ||
| They're not able to buy a house. | ||
| We're very much into the world of nuclear energy. | ||
| And we can have it now at good prices and very, very safe. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we're leading the world in AI by a lot. | |
| We're leading China by a lot. | ||
| I think President Xi respects what we're doing. | ||
| I just, another fact, Chuck, because I want you guys to understand. | ||
| Oh, it sounds like we're the greatest ever. | ||
| So what are you talking about? | ||
| Well, specifically on his point about BlackRock and Vanguard and all these private institutions that are actually buying up homes. | ||
| Guys, I'm going to reiterate this again, and you guys need to pay close attention. | ||
| Only one to two percent of homes in America are being bought up by private institutions. | ||
|
Ukraine Deal Discussion
00:10:52
|
||
| I believed it at one point that that was the reason why all the price increases and stuff. | ||
| That is just a narrative that was somebody deep dive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Some talked about this. | ||
| I actually haven't even done a deep dive on this. | ||
| We referenced that. | ||
| I've referenced it, but I didn't actually dive deeper. | ||
| I should. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| I really actually should do this. | ||
| Maybe I'll even do it on Sunday's deep dive. | ||
| But understand that is not the reason why housing prices have gone up. | ||
| The number one reason why housing prices have gone up is because it is expensive to build a house now. | ||
| It comes from the building side and it comes from the contractor side, right? | ||
| It is cheaper for them to go and build one of these luxury apartments that you can go and sell and have rooms rented out for four grand a month than a single family house that requires we can have 20 condos. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| Because it's more profitable to do that. | ||
| It's almost not even profitable to build single family homes anymore because of the cost of lumber, all the different things. | ||
| And tariffs play a role in that too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| But it's also the rising inflation. | ||
| It's the degradation of the American economy in general. | ||
| And like 1% to 2% should be zero. | ||
| I agree. | ||
| I agree they shouldn't be buying single-family homes in general. | ||
| Like we oppose that. | ||
| But in reality, it comes down to costs. | ||
| And there's always a boogeyman. | ||
| They go like, this is the reason why you were graped. | ||
| This is the problem. | ||
| This is the issue. | ||
| And they're like literally stealing all your money. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
While they do it. | |
| And they point to that. | ||
| But then also another big reason is the red tape. | ||
| If you go to California just to pull permits, it could cost you $100,000 just to do like a simple renovation on a house because they ask for so many different things. | ||
| And then if you do it wrong or they find something wrong, you got to go all the way back over and do it again. | ||
| And it costs money to have another person come out. | ||
| So the permitting and the red tape that they thought was like, we're being environmentally friendly and we're protecting things. | ||
| It's cheaper to build a house here in Texas than it is in California just because of those permits as well. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| So that is where I'm just fact checking when everybody just it rubs my soul the wrong way when we say it's BlackRock. | ||
| Dare you criticize President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| The whole point of this show is to air out what the reality is so that you guys can be informed when you go out there and have conversations with your families and friends. | ||
| Because I'm sure I've been guilty of saying it, haven't you? | ||
| Yeah, we've all said it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So let's go back to the video. | |
| In part because I've allowed these big companies building these massive buildings to build their own electric capacity. | ||
| They're building their own power plants, which when added up is more than any country anywhere in the world is doing. | ||
| With Ukraine, Russia, there's tremendous hatred between President Zelensky and President Putin. | ||
| That's not good. | ||
| That's not good for settlements. | ||
| We know from dealing. | ||
| This abnormal hatred. | ||
| With that being said, I think Russia wants to make a deal. | ||
| I think Ukraine wants to make a deal. | ||
| And we're going to try getting a deal done. | ||
| We're getting, I think, Steve, I think I can say that we're reasonably close. | ||
| Now, what happens is oftentimes we'll have a deal with Russia. | ||
| Russia's set, and President Zelensky will not do it. | ||
| You saw that when he was in the Oval Office. | ||
| I was not happy. | ||
| And then we'll have President Zelensky wants to make a deal if Putin doesn't want to make the deal. | ||
| It's a very difficult balance. | ||
| I believe they're at a point now where they can come together and get a deal done. | ||
| And if they don't, they're stupid. | ||
| All right. | ||
| So this is one of my biggest reasons for being very angry at our president right now because Trump was the person that said and really ran on. | ||
| It was his platform. | ||
| I can end the Ukraine war before I even get into office. | ||
| On day one as president-elect, all I have to do is make a couple of calls and then bing, bang, boom, it's over. | ||
| I've solved it. | ||
| Just one day. | ||
| We've continued to give them more money. | ||
| We've continued to give them more intelligence and logistical support. | ||
| I mean, they flew a drone swarm at Putin's house like a month ago. | ||
| So the thing as of like, oh, trying to make deals, Putin does want to make a deal, Zelensky does, and then Zelensky wants to make a deal and Putin doesn't. | ||
| We are in control of Ukraine. | ||
| We were in complete control of Ukraine. | ||
| We could pull Starlink from them and it would basically be over. | ||
| So to like, to make it seem like you're a peaceful mediator, when in fact, we're still backing them. | ||
| We're still backing their side. | ||
| It'd be like, you know, I'm helping these guys out. | ||
| I'm giving them bullets to shoot you, but I really want them to stop. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I gave them javelins. | |
| Yeah, I gave them blankets. | ||
| And I gave you javelins. | ||
| Yeah, exactly. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So, I mean, like, it is hard to listen to this stuff. | ||
| You're right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's difficult. | |
| It's very difficult. | ||
| Wait till we get to the Q ⁇ A. | ||
| Oh, well, I think that's why he's sitting down. | ||
| Is this in the video? | ||
| This is in the video. | ||
| It's almost over. | ||
| We're going to. | ||
| No, no, no. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| Let's go ahead and watch this. | ||
| That goes for both of them. | ||
| And I know they're not stupid, but if they don't get this done, they are stupid. | ||
| So I don't want to insult anyone, but you got to get this deal done. | ||
| Too many people are dying. | ||
| It's not worth it. | ||
| How many times are you going to say that? | ||
| How many times are you going to be like, too many people are dying? | ||
| And it's like, well, like, we're responsible for the death and it keeps happening. | ||
| I don't want to insult anybody, but you're stupid. | ||
| I don't want to insult your intelligence, but you're a retard. | ||
| I'm trying to say something nice, you know? | ||
| I'm trying to be kind. | ||
| I'm trying not to use a worse word. | ||
| Yeah, let's read some of these comments real quick. | ||
| Bring some love into the chat. | ||
| Oh, by the way, guys, if you guys have seen, you see on the right side of the screen, now we've got these new features coming up where you're actually seeing chats across platforms. | ||
| Sorry for anybody who is messaging in Rumble. | ||
| Those will not appear in the live stream just because we can still see them. | ||
| We can still see them on our side, but they won't be on the live just because Rumble doesn't have an integration for it. | ||
| It's stupid. | ||
| So I really wanted all the chats to be on there, but right now it's just YouTube and X. Excellent chat just came through. | ||
| You know, I like you, but you're brain. | ||
| I'm not a big fan of it. | ||
| You're not stupid. | ||
| You're not stupid. | ||
| I'm not saying that. | ||
| I mean, that's how he talks. | ||
| That's literally the type of thing that he says. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So one of the things that we're doing as well is we've trying this new like super chat feature as well. | ||
| So that way people can actually talk out loud on stream because we're not always reading the chats. | ||
| And sometimes it's very difficult for us to actually pay attention to what we're trying to say as well as read the chats. | ||
| But if you want to force your chat to be spoken while we're in the middle and hold a gun to our head for $5 or read anything you say we will read anything you say and it bleeps something, but you know, it'll read out on live. | ||
| Everybody will be able to hear it. | ||
| I will pull this up for you guys. | ||
| You guys have seen it pop up a little bit, but I will show it again. | ||
| If you go to streamlabs.com slash gray area talks, even if you don't want to have your message be read out loud, if you want to support the show, whatever you guys want to do, this is a way to do that. | ||
| It helps us. | ||
| Calls aren't free. | ||
| Software isn't free. | ||
| Equipment isn't free. | ||
| Time isn't free. | ||
| Ultimately, we're here doing this for you. | ||
| I'm here every day. | ||
| Tim comes here and puts out these bangers on Thursday and Sunday and more frequency to come soon. | ||
| We do need your support. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We do. | |
| So just asking for help. | ||
| But at the same time, it's really fun to hear people say stuff. | ||
| New Gripra did something. | ||
| I forget the last person, but we do a shout out. | ||
| We'll actually recognize you guys when you guys go ahead and do it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And like you were saying about earlier about the shorts and checking out the shorts on the YouTube channel and maybe liking and commenting on them. | ||
| That's a really important thing to do because I'm paying for a full-time editor, guys. | ||
| So we're chopping stuff up. | ||
| We're putting stuff out. | ||
| I mean, I can't take credit for the software advancements. | ||
| I mean, that's all Tim and Andrew. | ||
| Tim has been in here or really not been here behind the scenes working on all this stuff to make sure that we're able to get it right for the marquee shows. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So if you've been watching, like, you realize the trajectory here. | ||
| We've gotten a lot better. | ||
| Dude, it's crazy because if you look at when we first started the stream, we had like the bin Laden cave. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| Like, if you guys go, if you guys go like on YouTube or Rumble, you can go see like our first stream and it's like just this tan scream just trying to make it work. | ||
| Trying to make it work, right? | ||
| No lights, no theme. | ||
| It was helping us switch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| So like the show has progressed so much already. | ||
| And it's because we care, man. | ||
| Like, I don't, I don't think you guys understand. | ||
| Like, I eat, sleep, and breathe this show behind scenes. | ||
| Tim really has been putting in a crazy amount of work. | ||
| And it's also like, it's also just the amazing community we have, man. | ||
| Like, it's been so cool that we have so many people. | ||
| You know, some people crash out, and it's okay. | ||
| It's humans, it's life. | ||
| But ultimately, the people that we have from a variety of different opinions and thoughts and perspectives, we really enjoy it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And then we've got now Andrew who's on board. | ||
| We've got another guy who's a loyal fan who's been watching us from the start. | ||
| He's joining to help out. | ||
| Like, I just look, I can't thank you guys enough for all the support that you guys give. | ||
| If you guys have anything that you guys want to do for us, just give us a follow-up. | ||
| It's as simple as that. | ||
| Link in the bio. | ||
| Those are also helping us because we actually need to get big guests, which we have Alex Stein coming on us. | ||
| We got Stein on Sunday. | ||
| And, you know, unless there's a rolling blackout or something, that's going to be one of the most badass out there. | ||
| I know. | ||
| Knock on that hole on us. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I know. | ||
| I just did it. | ||
| But we're going to be here this weekend on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Central. | ||
| And if you want to see the pimp on the blimp, the Alex Stein, it's going to be really fun. | ||
| He's a fun guy, man. | ||
| And he's a friend of Suleiman as well. | ||
| Yes, he is. | ||
| And it's interesting because they just went on Tim Pool last week or something like that. | ||
| Did you ever catch that video? | ||
| I saw a clip of it. | ||
| I saw some highlights of that. | ||
| They were on there debating about Islam and Israel. | ||
| Question for the producer: Do the chats from both the Gray Area talk stream on X and the one show up? | ||
| No, that's clarification. | ||
| Only the chats in Rex's one actually show up on this little chat box on the right side. | ||
| I think we'll be able to improve it too over time. | ||
| Yeah, it's just only letting me connect one at a time. | ||
| If it lets me do multiple, I'll look and see if I can. | ||
| Dude, I'm so glad you're here and Andrew's here to mess with this stuff on the technical level. | ||
| I'm not, look, I'm completely incompetent when it comes to computers. | ||
| I'm trying to learn. | ||
| I want to take like digital literacy at ACC. | ||
| Like literally, I'm bad at the computer interface. | ||
| So it's just my autism. | ||
| It's the talking autism. | ||
| It's not the computer autism. | ||
| I just don't have it. | ||
| No, 100%. | ||
| Do we have any more clips or is that? | ||
| Oh, yeah, we got the QA. | ||
| Let's go ahead and roll the QA. | ||
| Let's go ahead and roll the QA. | ||

Eight Windows, One Favorite Place
00:03:04
|
||
| I'm having fun. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's a good one. | |
| Can I come here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just really come here for you too, I don't know. | |
| This was supposed to be a nice fire chat, Mr. President. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, good. | |
| Hell no. | ||
| Honey Badger asked, my house is built in when his house was built in the late 1800s, I believe. | ||
| Does he think his house will still be around? | ||
| Well, he's saying, like, comparing that house is still around that he lives in, new modern builds, you know. | ||
| Oh, no, no, no. | ||
| Here's the thing about it. | ||
| Low quality. | ||
| Okay, so just my engineering hat coming on. | ||
| The reason why they're like there's no beautiful homes like people are saying anymore is because it's more expensive to have each house have its own set of character. | ||
| And because things have gotten so expensive, they have to cut costs somewhere in order to save. | ||
| So now that's why you see everything being like cookie cutter because it's easier when you have an assembly line that can build the same features out on every single house. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Instead of like the Victorian style houses where every single house was like beautiful. | ||
| Those days are kind of behind us, unfortunately, guys. | ||
| This is the era that we are in. | ||
| Europe still kind of keeps that. | ||
| I was in Germany. | ||
| They do a really good job of keeping some of that old historical district. | ||
| I mean, yeah, like one of my favorite places I've ever been, I've been all across the United States, really, not the Midwest, but pretty much everywhere else. | ||
| And one of my favorite places I've ever been to is Savannah, Georgia. | ||
| It's so beautiful. | ||
| And they have the largest historical district in America. | ||
| And that's because during Sherman's March, when he was burning down the South, basically, he stopped in Savannah because they're like, look, we'll give you our cotton, our textiles, everything. | ||
| Just do not burn the city down. | ||
| So you can actually go see like pre antebellum stuff in Savannah. | ||
| It's so cool. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| But they have this building there. | ||
| It's the Freemason building. | ||
| And one side of it, it's like a piece of cake. | ||
| One side of it's red brick. | ||
| You don't even, it just looks like a regular building. | ||
| And the other side, it's like triangled in. | ||
| It's like gold and lapis lazuli. | ||
| And it's crazy. | ||
| And that was like the first one they ever, it's, it's, it's a crazy city. | ||
| Like all the windows are based off like numerology. | ||
| Like there's eight windows, then three windows, then eight windows. | ||
| It's, it's, if you ever get a chance, go visit. | ||
| And we don't get that because our country was really only built like 300 years ago, right? | ||
| 200 years ago. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And a lot of the stuff has been destroyed. | ||
| I mean, prior to that, it was wigwams and this is true and like small little huts. | ||
| So yes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Let's let's go back to the video. | ||
| You, you, I got set up. | ||
| I did though. | ||
| You made the job for the moderator really easy. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. President, for your speech. | ||
|
Unexpected Pandemics
00:14:21
|
||
| I do have a few follow-up questions, if it's okay. | ||
| I don't think I should start with Greenland, maybe. | ||
| I'll start with the economy. | ||
| The U.S. economy is doing really, really well. | ||
| But how to sustain this growth moving forward? | ||
| Because there's always a recession looming around the corner. | ||
| Well, you know, the one thing about economies and recessions is sometimes you get hit unexpectedly and there's nothing you can do about it. | ||
| All brilliant people, but there's nothing. | ||
| One example was COVID. | ||
| We had an economy going at levels like nobody had ever seen my first two and a half, three years. | ||
| And then I heard the word pandemic, not COVID. | ||
| They came up with that name over a period of time. | ||
| We won't get into that. | ||
| But I heard the word pandemic. | ||
| And I had a poll come out that was so strong just prior to that. | ||
| And I was with the two best polls, McLaughlin and Fabrizio. | ||
| And they said, sir, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, if they came back and ran as president and vice president, they couldn't beat you. | ||
| And then what happened is the following day, I was told to stay tuned because there's something really bad happening in China. | ||
| There are bodies laying all over Wuhan, right around that certain building that we talk about. | ||
| I always said it came from Wuhan. | ||
| It did come from Wuhan. | ||
| And they were body bags. | ||
| We saw it. | ||
| Okay, based. | ||
| I gotta say, China virus is China virus. | ||
| It comes from the only, okay, the only issue that came from that is like, rather than it just being like the Chinese virus and it just being like, okay, it came from China. | ||
| There were like people that took it into their own hands and they just started like wailing on like Chinese people, American Chinese that were just walking by. | ||
| Like we saw those wild videos. | ||
| People just like punch him in the face. | ||
| It's like, what is that guy? | ||
| And that was the stop Asian hate thing too. | ||
| That was around the same time. | ||
| I remember, you know, I remember them being like, it came from a bat. | ||
| It came from a penguin. | ||
| If you say it didn't, you're racist. | ||
| And it's like, well, you know, they do have the Wuhan virology lab and bioweapons tech. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And they were experimenting on a similar strain and then it appears in the city. | ||
| Oh, like it's pretty much come out. | ||
| If you read RFK's book, and people may not like RFK or whatever, if you're like kind of on the more left side, The Real Anthony Fauci is like a 36-hour audio book. | ||
| If you listen to it, it's like a giant nearly thousand-page book. | ||
| If you read it, that's one of the best treatises on the entire COVID period that you can find. | ||
| Have you heard anyone like show-wise cover the reality of COVID? | ||
| Like a deep dive on that? | ||
| No, we should do that. | ||
| Cause, you know, we're just worried I won't even find the information. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Everything gets like, I think, I think they probably changed some of the details that would have been privy to figuring out what really caused all of this stuff. | ||
| So he called it the kung flu. | ||
| He did. | ||
| He called it Kung Flu and the Chinese virus. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Crazy. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I remember there's a remix of it. | ||
| Kung Flu, the Chinese virus. | ||
| Chinese virus. | ||
| But go ahead. | ||
| Okay, go ahead, Andrew. | ||
| By satellite. | ||
| And they said there are strange things happening in China. | ||
| And so it began. | ||
| And we ended up with the COVID, and the whole world suffered. | ||
| We did a phenomenal job. | ||
| I don't think we got the credit we deserve. | ||
| We did something that Operation Warp Speed, which some people say was one of the greatest military feats ever. | ||
| We did a great job. | ||
| Use our military. | ||
| A lot of people. | ||
| Okay, so now he's bragging about the vaccine. | ||
| And like, I'm super anti-COVID vaccine. | ||
| I consider it to be a bioweapon at the time. | ||
| I'm juiced up, baby. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| At the very, at the very least, it was something that they compelled people like you. | ||
| They compelled you to take it on threat of losing your whole narrative on it. | ||
| And this is why I like Jimmy Dorse so much, is he did excellent work during the pandemic. | ||
| Excellent work. | ||
| The whole point of it was to say, oh, if you take the vaccine, there's no transmission. | ||
| You're not going to kill grandma, right? | ||
| And you're not going to get sick. | ||
| And they're like, well, you're still going to get sick and you don't spread it as much. | ||
| And like, well, it kind of really doesn't do anything. | ||
| But if you get it, maybe it becomes a little less bad. | ||
| And like everyone I know that's gotten it has gotten it again. | ||
| I haven't been, I haven't had COVID, I don't think, since 2020 or something, you know? | ||
| Well, I think we've all had it at one point or another. | ||
| Your body has just, it's just become another like flu or just cold in general. | ||
| I think that's what's happened at this point. | ||
| It's just been integrated. | ||
| I did get sick like a month ago. | ||
| I'm boosted up, baby. | ||
| I'm not just, I ain't got this. | ||
| That's COVID. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm boosted. | |
| That's crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm extra base. | |
| And how do they, how do they get you to do that? | ||
| Dude, it was school. | ||
| It was like they said, all right, look, you either decide that you want to stay at home and not take this vaccine where you can't interact with your friends. | ||
| Oh, mind you, mechanical engineer. | ||
| So there's certain courses I have to be in physical, like at the school in order to do it. | ||
| I do a bunch of machines and equipment and stuff. | ||
| I can't do that behind a laptop. | ||
| So I had no choice. | ||
| So they said, you can either take the vaccine or you're not coming to school. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And they're like, well, you know, we don't have to release the studies we did for 98 years. | ||
| That's normal, right? | ||
| There's a blank insert. | ||
| That's normal. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And ultimately, and I criticize Trump a lot. | ||
| I go after Trump. | ||
| Biden used OSHA to mandate 80 million federal employees to take the shot. | ||
| And that was struck down, you know, a month into the process. | ||
| But think about how many people, how many tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people were compelled to take a medical thing without informed consent. | ||
| Like, this is what it all comes down to: it's a Hippocratic oath. | ||
| It's do no harm. | ||
| Ultimately, if something has risks and a person still wants to take it, they can take it, but they have to know about the risk. | ||
| And the whole thing was there is no risk. | ||
| It's the most, it's the most perfect. | ||
| It's the most best test. | ||
| Yeah, just trust me. | ||
| It's like someone in the chat said he's the father of the vaccine. | ||
| Nimrod Potter. | ||
| I went to a school called Rochester Institute of Technology. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nice. | |
| Upstate New York. | ||
| I loved it. | ||
| Loved every bit of it. | ||
| I wasn't forced to take the shot. | ||
| You were forced to stand up for yourself. | ||
| I mean, you're living in the belly of the beast. | ||
| He's living in New York. | ||
| I was living in New York, dude. | ||
| I really didn't have a choice. | ||
| I also believed in the vaccine. | ||
| And you're watching Death Clock. | ||
| Death Clock. | ||
| But then I also look, I had a lot of friends that were like in that were physician assistants that are like in medical studying for those things. | ||
| They're looking at media as well as what their teachers are telling them about these things. | ||
| Like all I trusted medical kids in school that were telling us about the vaccine. | ||
| That's how deep I was. | ||
| And ultimately, your rights were violated. | ||
| You were oppressed by the false information and the peer pressure and the bullying based on what the government was doing. | ||
| And like people like, it's like you didn't, you didn't sniff it ass. | ||
| You're not smart. | ||
| Ultimately, it's like, like, like, we're all victims here, whether we like it or not, of some factor of the control grid, right? | ||
| Like something the government has done. | ||
| And it's like, well, like, holier than thou, I'm more noble. | ||
| It's like, like, we got to leave that behind. | ||
| That's not the shit. | ||
| If you don't think that even now, and I'll include that you are not being influenced in some form or capacity, then you are severely wrong. | ||
| Like, no matter who you consume, no matter what you watch, no matter what channels you actually like focus on, you are propagandized at every single it's how the algorithm works, literally. | ||
| That's how it's designed. | ||
| It is on your media. | ||
| It is on, yeah, you're right. | ||
| The X algorithm and the X algorithm is changing, of course, but the X algorithm, dude, X is an echo chamber in itself. | ||
| Let's be honest, just like TikTok is. | ||
| So you are swimming within the fishbowl. | ||
| Now, that's what Rex and I are here for is why we do the deep dives, why we try to go outside of the bubbles to find you the real information, why you know what the real cause of Russia was, why the real cause of a lot of things were. | ||
| And on Sunday, I'm going to give you another banger that has nothing to do with the matrix that you have been consuming media inside of. | ||
| Isn't it funny? | ||
| And then we go over the deep dive. | ||
| People are like, oh, there's basic information. | ||
| I know. | ||
| It's like, no, you don't. | ||
| And it's like, I don't know either. | ||
| Ultimately, we say we know all these things, make all these grand claims about how smart we are. | ||
| And then ultimately, what happens is someone, myself included, will read a headline or something or just a tidbit of information. | ||
| And they go, this is my entire political identity now. | ||
| Like, this is what I believe. | ||
| And we don't do that on the show. | ||
| We're constantly re-examining things. | ||
| We're constantly having additional discussions on top of discussions. | ||
| And really, what it all comes down to, and I don't want to sound like a milquetoast fence sitter, but ultimately, like, centrism is the real being based. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| That's that's the real being just being like, let's take care of everybody. | ||
| Let's not divide ourselves on ideological lines like humans. | ||
| This is the next wave, guys. | ||
| It's not being drawn to just one side. | ||
| And even if you say sometimes, like people are like, well, I'm center, but then like they'll go on X and they're the same people that are just like, oh, fuck the cheats, all these other things, and throwing out slurs and stuff like that. | ||
| That's not what being centered is. | ||
| It's like, why does that have to be involved in your politics? | ||
| If you want real change, make a statement on how you want real change. | ||
| And even if someone vehemently disagrees with it, ultimately, like it's, it's, it's, oh, triggered the liberal, ah, the magat got mad. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| It's disgusting, right? | ||
| It's sick. | ||
| It's degenerate and it's sick. | ||
| And it must stop. | ||
| And that's, that's why we're doing this. | ||
| It's like, it's like children. | ||
| It's, it's a children's game. | ||
| Well, what showed you was the Myron Gaines situation and then the Kanye song and the high, you know, H, you know, all that going around. | ||
| And, you know, I laughed a little when Myron went on and did, did you see his like, like he had his hat on? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's like, do, do, And he's like doing all this stuff. | |
| And, you know, you get a good laugh, but like, that's slop. | ||
| You know, that's the stuff. | ||
| And there's people like, Myron, you're doing something good for the world. | ||
| You're speaking out against the man. | ||
| Like, there's layers to this. | ||
| Well, I hear that, and I can, I can appreciate some of those points. | ||
| I have a bit of a different view based on just like you say we can't say these things, so we're going to say them. | ||
| I do understand that perspective, but you are right. | ||
| It's slop. | ||
| Ultimately, it's all slop. | ||
| It's all designed to elicit emotion instead of eliciting results. | ||
| What about results on the show? | ||
| Well, I say it exists in every scenario, not just the one where you're talking about Israel. | ||
| Like, you can't go into this Christian nation, decide to do some bat shit crazy stuff. | ||
| Remember, I talked about the little Nasdaqs putting the blood inside of the shoe and making a mockery of Christianity. | ||
| Do you know the amount of backlash he received? | ||
| Somebody would be like, How dare you suppress that man? | ||
| And this is what he stands for. | ||
| And the Christian white Anglo-Saxon who's controlling the world is the one that's deciding whether that's wrong. | ||
| You don't even go in the Middle East and do some crazy stuff. | ||
| Like, you know, homosexuals aren't allowed to just broadcast whatever they want. | ||
| That's how you get your hand chopped off. | ||
| Go take a building walk, walk the plank. | ||
| That makes you walk the plank. | ||
| That is how society is, guys. | ||
| Like, there's no way around that. | ||
| And then ultimately, we're like, well, you know, we're doing so good. | ||
| We have to change everyone else's culture. | ||
| Everyone else must live like us. | ||
| We got homeless in the street, women twerking on each other. | ||
| And it's like, everywhere must be like this. | ||
| Everywhere must have this reality. | ||
| Let's get back to the job. | ||
| Let's get back to the job. | ||
| Yeah, we got pretty far. | ||
| But sometimes you get hit with things, nothing you can do. | ||
| You get hit with things like that unexpectedly. | ||
| And we got through it. | ||
| And when I left, the stock market was higher than it was previous to the COVID coming up. | ||
| And that was, I called it a great achievement. | ||
| But things happen. | ||
| Bad things happen. | ||
| The things that we can stop are wars if we're smart. | ||
| That we can stop. | ||
| Those are a matter of being intelligent and having intelligent people on the other side because wars are the worst of all. | ||
| Wars are worse than anything. | ||
| But we can stop wars because that's sort of up to us. | ||
| But things like dust flying in the air, wherever COVID comes from, or whatever comes, sometimes you have to be a little bit lucky. | ||
| But we are poised to have an economy like no other, not only in this country, but anywhere. | ||
| And you, you know, when you hear the kind of numbers that I can tell you that Scott Besant was with me the other day and he's looking at numbers, he said, I can't. | ||
| And that's all he's done his whole life, pretty much your whole life. | ||
| Scott, you weren't going to be a football player, I don't think. | ||
| Scott was not that great at football, but he was always good at numbers, right? | ||
| And he was looking at numbers. | ||
| He said, I've never seen anything like this. | ||
| We're poised to do things that no other country has ever done. | ||
| And, you know, luck, I hate to say it, but we need a little luck. | ||
| We don't want to get hit by something that nobody could have thought. | ||
| Whoever thought we were going to hit by a pandemic? | ||
| You know, when I heard the word pandemic, I said, oh, that's an ancient problem. | ||
| World War I, they lost 100 million people. | ||
| It actually ended World War I. | ||
| A lot of people don't know. | ||
| The Spanish flu in World War I ended the war because all the soldiers were sick. | ||
| The soldiers were so sick on both sides. | ||
| And that war was raised. | ||
| I don't even got a fact check. | ||
| And I know that's definitely not the full cause. | ||
| It's part of it. | ||
| It's part of it, but it's not the full thing. | ||
| It's like, look, this was even worse than that because they say so. | ||
| But okay, we'll just play more of it. | ||
| Aging, and they were all dying from the Spanish flu. | ||
| They were sick as dogs. | ||
| They couldn't fight. | ||
| So, you know, you don't know how that would have turned out. | ||
| But so we do, I mean, subject to that, and I always have to put a caveat in for it, but we're poised to have the greatest growth of any large country. | ||
| I think any country that there's been, when you look at what's happening in the United States, it's really amazing. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| One thing that maybe keeps you up at night, I know you don't sleep that much anyway, Mr. President, is the debt. | ||
| The U.S. debt is high, is not the biggest expenditure on your budget. | ||
|
Using Tariffs Judiciously
00:03:11
|
||
| How to get out of that impulse? | ||
| Well, the big thing is growth. | ||
| I mean, growth is the way. | ||
| If we grow like this, we go from having a $37, $36, $37 trillion. | ||
| We go from having high debt to low debt. | ||
| But we also are cutting expenses, you know, the old-fashioned way. | ||
| We have extraordinary growth. | ||
| I think we're going to be growing our way out. | ||
| I think we're going to be paying off debt. | ||
| We're taking in tremendous money from tariffs fairly. | ||
| And again, I'm using them judiciously. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, speak to Lindsay case study. | |
| He's using it judiciously. | ||
| 500% tariff, 100% tariff, 50% tariff, just whenever he decides. | ||
|
unidentified
|
See, that is fair. | |
| But it's all strategy and it's all smart. | ||
| It's just like we don't like, we've been following this. | ||
| It's literally as he decides. | ||
| And with the deal with China, whatever the percentage was, and I think it was like close to 100% or 50% or something nuts. | ||
| Literally, after six months, that he's like, we're going back to the original deal because the original deal is better. | ||
| It's actually a deal for the American people. | ||
| And it's like, well, it's got more expensive. | ||
| I tried to order a capsule machine. | ||
| I couldn't do it. | ||
| It's like, oh, it's your problem. | ||
| You know, maybe you should buy America. | ||
| And it's like, well, the American companies, they don't make the machine bank. | ||
| They either don't make it or they don't make it as well because there's certain companies 10 times the price. | ||
| Yeah, there's other countries that have specialized equipment and labor for particular things. | ||
| America's really good at certain things. | ||
| And unfortunately, China is really good at certain things and that they own certain industries, just like we have technology. | ||
| Like there's nobody that can build software better than us in most cases because we take all the people, but that's another thing. | ||
| You know, it's just very interesting. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| The numbers thing. | ||
| I'm like, how do we come on like 25%? | ||
| How do 50%? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is it just because they look like round numbers? | |
| It's a very beautiful number. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I like 10%. | |
| 10%. | ||
| And I say 100%. | ||
| Because I keep it 100. | ||
| That's what Barron said. | ||
| He said, Dad, you keep it 100. | ||
| So I said 100% tariff. | ||
| I said, that's good. | ||
| Right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And you know what? | ||
| I just had an epiphany. | ||
| He's not, there's like no one else, I think, deciding these numbers for him. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
| No, no, no. | ||
| I'm looking at the number. | ||
| He's like, that feels right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
15%, 39% for Greenland because I like the word nine. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| Nine. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| He's like, the kids, you know, Baron told me they say 6-7. | ||
| So I say 67%. | ||
| It's just completely arbitrary. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go ahead. | |
| Go ahead. | ||
| But it's the most planned thing ever. | ||
| It's the most sophisticated. | ||
| It's the most perfect. | ||
| Everything's most beautiful. | ||
| I could have gotten much more. | ||
| I could have asked for much more. | ||
| But we're using them judiciously. | ||
| But I think growth, most importantly, and then cutting costs. | ||
| Now, if you take a look at Minnesota, $19 billion in fraud and other things. | ||
| People going to airports, they came into the country, they don't have 10 cents, and they're leaving with hundreds of thousands of cash in their bags. | ||
|
Iranian Protests: Fake vs. Real
00:02:27
|
||
| When we get to that, and our DOJ, Pam, and Todd, and all the people that work over there, and all of the people that work in here, I can tell you, Scott Besant is working on that. | ||
| It's a priority, right? | ||
| You have your whole team. | ||
| We're in there looking for where this money is coming from, how much it is. | ||
| It could be more than $19 billion. | ||
| Can you believe that? | ||
| That's just one state. | ||
| If we were able to cut out 50% of the fraud, 50%, that we should be able to do better than that, we would have a balanced budget without having to talk about even growth. | ||
| So we have a lot of options, but we're working very hard on that. | ||
| That's a big deal. | ||
| It's not just the protests, the fake protests done by agitators and professional insurrectionists. | ||
| Oh, so we have fake protests, but the Iranian protests are real, and we got to go in there because of the protests. | ||
| I mean, people are protesting you, Donald. | ||
| Solomon said this. | ||
| He could be right. | ||
| He could be wrong, but he's like, it's not just like there's legitimate reasons for Iran's protests, but then it's been like exacerbated by the fact that you've got Mossad and like CIA in there. | ||
| There's a tweet literally, I think, I think it's from Brennan, who's an ex-like FBI guy, a swamp creature. | ||
| He's like, shout out to like the Mossad agents beside you, like to like to the Iranian protesters. | ||
| So like, of course, this is happening. | ||
| Like, of course, it's on the record. | ||
| And then, of course, you come home and I'm sure there are left-wing groups that are paid to agitate against Trump. | ||
| In fact, definitely definitely are. | ||
| But it's all a part of the sick system. | ||
| And I think these people control these things at the end of the day. | ||
| Like, it's like you need an enemy, right? | ||
| You got the NGO that's supplied by something tied to the government in terms of a plan. | ||
| That organization feeds like a group of people that have these organizations. | ||
| And within those organizations, they have people that are in charge that are like, hey, we're going to this place and we're going to go riot. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's as simple as that equation. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And then you've actually got real people who are upset in these countries. | ||
| You can take Nepal, you can take the Philippines, wherever it is. | ||
|
Cost of Computing Power
00:08:33
|
||
| And you can just look at the equation and just be like, they're just latching on to the person's emotions. | ||
| And then all you got to do is like, Rex, if you're already upset about this and you're just like one firecracker away, all I got to do is just light you up a little bit. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And just blow up. | ||
| And then it'd blow up. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So. | ||
| No, that's an excellent point. | ||
| And then we got, we had one person. | ||
| I don't have a mouse, so I can't scroll up. | ||
| We had one person say, every accusation is a confession. | ||
| That's how I feel about Trump. | ||
| You know, it's like whenever he says something, it's like, it's what we're doing at the end of the day. | ||
| But let's go back to it. | ||
| Professional troublemakers, but we are looking very strong at the money too in Minnesota and other places. | ||
| I think, Mr. President, also the 500 billion US dollars invested in artificial intelligence and the frontier technologies last year also were driving growth exponentially in the U.S. AI has been a big factor. | ||
| AI is massive. | ||
| I mean, Mark Zuckerberg showed me a plant where he put it over a map of Manhattan and it was basically the size of Manhattan. | ||
| This is not, he said, you got to be kidding. | ||
| It's a plant that was miles long, miles wide, very high. | ||
| I don't think it was high like the Empire State Building, but it was high. | ||
| And it literally covered most of the island of Manhattan. | ||
| That's called a big plant. | ||
| And you know, yeah, those plants. | ||
| Yeah, go ahead and say what you were going to say. | ||
| Oh, me? | ||
| I was just bringing it up to you because obviously you're an engineer and you're more aware of things like this than I am. | ||
| But I mean, just the scope of a 2 million square foot plant. | ||
| Like, can you even imagine that? | ||
| Like, what is that in your mind? | ||
| The biggest plant I've ever worked out of, probably the current one I'm working on is probably like 300,000. | ||
| So like 2 million. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Probably 300 or 400. | ||
| Our old warehouse, which was like an aircraft hangar, you could have fit like three massive jets in there. | ||
| It was like, it was like 20,000 square feet. | ||
| Like when you think these numbers they throw out, it's just like the money. | ||
| Like, it's just like, it's as big as Manhattan. | ||
| Like, that's not even real. | ||
| So like, so, you know, it's weird because these 2 million, like the 2 million square, what does he say? | ||
| Square miles? | ||
| Square feet. | ||
| Square feet. | ||
| Like, it's a real number. | ||
| Like, there's buildings that are probably that size somewhere. | ||
| But the operation for that, the amount of money and metal. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The energy. | ||
| There's also a lot of you, we don't see, but like there's a lot of people that live near those areas that are affected just from all of like the pollution that they do to the land and the water, the water, the water is a really big thing. | ||
| When Texas, uh, when Elon Musk moved to South Austin, he brought Bass Drop and he brought a lot of things with him. | ||
| He's causing issues to the water supply for some of those people and a lot of things that are going on there too. | ||
| Like people don't understand the amount of impact that it has. | ||
| And we're just like, well, we need the, we, we need it. | ||
| Now, I'm not going to sit here and say that like, look, I use AI every single day. | ||
| I'm sure you do. | ||
| I'm sure there's a lot of other people that do as well. | ||
| We just haven't found a better way to efficiently run AI without taking up a bunch of space and data. | ||
| The Chinese did a good job with DeepSeek. | ||
| And that's the whole purpose of DeepSeek is they found a more, it may not be as powerful, but it's a more efficient way to process the packets. | ||
| Yeah, because we just decide to go one way. | ||
| I think this, the solution to this isn't just like, okay, we're just going to build more and take up more energy. | ||
| I think the next stage to this is like, how do we get more efficient at doing the AI instead of, because computing power does take up a lot of servers, takes up a lot of space, takes up a lot of data in order to do these things. | ||
| And then you've got to build, you've got to build these facilities to not just house all the equipment. | ||
| You're talking about people that run it. | ||
| You've got places where people need to eat. | ||
| There's people that need to, there's bathrooms. | ||
| Like there's everything you can think of has to go into this one massive facility. | ||
| But well, ultimately the thing is, is that it's hypocritical, right? | ||
| Because like we, we Americans, we're, we're poor, we're stupid, we don't deserve food or healthcare or housing. | ||
| But, you know, AI data centers using two times the power of the human race in a decade. | ||
| Like, I know you're very white-pilled and bullish on technology, you know, aspects. | ||
| I am as well. | ||
| Like, I think that there are things that are going to make the world better, not just make the world worse. | ||
| And I'm not totally black-pilled in that regard, but it's just, it's so insane that they're like, you don't deserve anything, but here's what we're going to do. | ||
| We're going to take your money. | ||
| We're going to spend it on wars and we're going to spend it on building AI. | ||
| And if you don't like that, well, like, boo-hoo, there's no one you can vote for. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| And one of the issues right now that's going through legislation because the local legislations are fighting back to a certain extent because people have lobbied is a lot of people should go look at their electricity bill. | ||
| And I definitely encourage you to do this. | ||
| Paying the tax. | ||
| When they build these data centers, and we're not, we're going to, we're susceptible. | ||
| They're building a bunch here in Austin. | ||
| There's a certain deal that these companies make with the electricity companies of like, okay, well, we'll pay this much and then you subsidize the rest from the surrounding people because how electricity works is a collective thing, right? | ||
| Where we all share the grid, we all put into it and we make a payment on that essentially to keep the electricity running. | ||
| And it's normally in the extra cost. | ||
| And normally what they do is if you've seen your number go up where it's like, what's the exact term? | ||
| I'm blanking out on the term. | ||
| It's like the cost that's associated for like running the electricity. | ||
| It's like extra cost or something like that. | ||
| Just go look at your electricity bill. | ||
| You're going to see that that might be changing. | ||
| And the reason why is because part of your electricity bill is going towards paying for the data center that's being propped up in your particular region. | ||
| You can go to Virginia. | ||
| You can see it's happening firsthand to these people. | ||
| So their electricity bills are skyrocketing because Meta and some of these big companies are not paying for the entire plant itself. | ||
| They're expecting the power plant to pay for it. | ||
| I'm sorry, the electricity company pay for it. | ||
| And then they bill you and collect it across the millions of people that live around that area. | ||
| So I would suggest that, look, this isn't a conspiracy. | ||
| Check your energy bill and you might see something like that. | ||
| Yeah, you just reminded me. | ||
| Auto bill got turned off. | ||
| I got to make a payment before midnight. | ||
| I can't lose. | ||
| And not for here for my warehouse, but we're out here. | ||
| You just reminded me. | ||
| I was like, I was like, fuck. | ||
| Yeah, I encourage you guys to go check that out. | ||
| And it's not something that is going under the radar. | ||
| There are certain areas where people are coming to light and they're starting to put legislation out to try to get the data companies to actually pay for their own buildings because why wouldn't they? | ||
| But yeah, let's go back to the video. | ||
| I heard they're going to spend 50 billion building. | ||
| And I said, if you spend 50 million, you can build a nice little shopping center. | ||
| If you spend 500 million, you can build a good shopping center. | ||
| But how do you spend 50 billion? | ||
| When I looked at this thing, I said, you think you'll be able to do it for that? | ||
| It's amazing when some of the plants that I see, and I see them all. | ||
| And again, so big is we're letting them build their own electric generation. | ||
| This way we have no problem. | ||
| And otherwise, they'd be complaining. | ||
| There'd be nobody able to, but you know, we have an old grid system. | ||
| And not only that, they're going to sell at a very cheap price the excess electricity that they create back into our grid. | ||
| So that'll solve some problems for certain states that don't have enough electricity. | ||
| We also know that on the AI, there is fierce competition between the U.S. as the largest economy in the world, 27% of the global GDP and 5% of the global population not doing that badly, and China. | ||
| And we know that that competition is very tough on AI. | ||
| I know you're heading to a state visit to China in April. | ||
| How do you see the U.S.-China relationship moving forward? | ||
|

|
||
| Are you able to combine this tough competition with also collaboration? | ||
| So I've always had a very good relationship with President Xi and with President Putin. | ||
| Talk about, you know, the larger powers. | ||
| But I've always had a very good relationship with President Xi of China. | ||
| He's an incredible man. | ||
| What he's done is amazing. | ||
| He's highly respected by everybody. | ||
| And I do now. | ||
| I mean, now I have good. | ||
| It was very severely interrupted by COVID. | ||
| I used to call it the China virus, but he said, do you think you could use a different name? | ||
| And I decided to do that because why should we have a problem over that? | ||
| But I would do that. | ||
| And they were. | ||
| You're a true diplomat, huh? | ||
| I became a diplomat for the first time. | ||
| Well, you know who taught me that? | ||
| Marco Rubio. | ||
| Marco Rubio. | ||
| He said, Let me teach you about diplomacy. | ||
| Hey, any guy that gets approved by 100% of the votes, think of it, he got liberal Democrats and radical right Republicans to approve him. | ||
| He's the only one, the next one. | ||
| And that's your 2028 Republican candidate. | ||
| It's not going to be JD. | ||
| JD will lose to Rubio. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It'll be. | |
| You think so? | ||
| Yeah, I think it's going to be the boomers' last hurrah. | ||
| I heard Owen make this point. | ||
| I couldn't agree with it more. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If they're able to push him through, I think Rubio, because you can kind of do Latino Obama. | ||
| That's a little, that is a little insulting. | ||
| Normally, if a VP is good enough, they try to go for the VP first because he's been in the limelight long enough that he's been exposed even more than the second. | ||
| Well, Marco Rubio is in a difficult position because essentially Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner have replaced him in Europe and Russia. | ||
| They're the ones that go over there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's essentially, it's like you're Latino, right? | |
| You worry about the South and Central America. | ||
| I wonder how Kushner got his job. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| That's a good point. | ||
| We'll play more. | ||
| It was like lost 45 votes, right? | ||
| But he got all 100 votes voting for him. | ||
| And at first I wasn't happy about it. | ||
| I said, wait a minute, I don't like that. | ||
| And now it turns out that the Democrats probably wish they didn't do that. | ||
| And Marco has been fantastic. | ||
| Marco, stand up, please. | ||
| You have done a great job as Secretary of State. | ||
| He's going to go down as the best Secretary of State. | ||
| And Scott, and we have Susie, who's the first female chief of staff, and she's the best chief of staff, too. | ||
| And I see Howard Luttnick, who I know spoke. | ||
| And Howard's fantastic. | ||
| Some of the deals we're doing are great. | ||
| And I want to pay particular attention because we have Chris. | ||
| And Chris, you got up and spoke, I think. | ||
| He's a number one oil man in the world because I was going to put Doug Bergham, who's fantastic. | ||
|

|
||
| I don't know if Doug's here. | ||
| Is Doug here? | ||
| Doug Bergham is fantastic. | ||
| He said, sir, there's one man better than me. | ||
| And he introduced me to Chris, and he turns out to be. | ||
| So we're drilling more oil and gas now than we ever have by almost double. | ||
| Is that right, Chris? | ||
| And on top of it, we've got a lot coming out of Venezuela. | ||
| So anyway, so we're doing great. | ||
| The country is just doing great. | ||
| We have great people. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And I see other people. | ||
| We have Steve Witkoff. | ||
| We have Jared. | ||
| I got so many people. | ||
| I'm in trouble because when I go back, they're going to be people with long faces, sir. | ||
| You didn't introduce, but I got so many people. | ||
| And we have a lot of the greatest people anywhere in the world. | ||
| I know them all. | ||
| So I won't continue because we'd be here all day. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. President. | ||
| We also know that you're a deal maker. | ||
| And then maybe coming back to Greenland and Ukraine. | ||
| What kind of deal in the end do you see between the U.S. and Denmark? | ||
| Because, you know, I guess you see it now as a negotiation going on. | ||
| Well, it's costing Denmark hundreds of millions a year to run it. | ||
| And Denmark's a small country and wonderful people. | ||
| But, you know, it's very expensive. | ||
| It's a very big piece of ice. | ||
| And it's very important. | ||
| I mean, I don't want to repeat the speech, but it's very important. | ||
| And, you know, everyone knows I like ice. | ||
| You know, I'm a big fan of ICE, and they get ICE people. | ||
| They got ice, they got an ice country. | ||
|

|
I'm just going to start saying on the rocks. | |
| That's what I'm going to say. | ||
| Just call them on the rocks. | ||
| Everyone knows Vanilla Ice was the greatest rapper ever. | ||
| He had the song. | ||
| He's called Ice, Ice, Baby. | ||
| And when the first time I heard that, I was like, I'm going to buy Greenland. | ||
| I'm going to take it. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| That was good. | ||
| That we use that for national and international security. | ||
| That can create a power that will make it impossible for the bad guys to do anything against the perceived good ones. | ||
| And it's a great block for Europe. | ||
| Just like, you know, Denmark was supposed to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. | ||
| They didn't spend the money. | ||
| They didn't spend anything almost. | ||
| And we'll see what happens. | ||
| I just say this. | ||
| NATO has treated the United States of America very unfairly. | ||
| We never asked for anything. | ||
| We never got anything. | ||
| We actually took care of the needs of NATO for years and years, which I felt was always unfair. | ||
| So I got NATO to pay because they're rich countries. | ||
| But I think it's time that NATO step up. | ||
| We're helping them with Ukraine. | ||
| Without us, I think Putin would have gone all the way. | ||
| I think we have it. | ||
| I think Putin, I think that could have been a World War III, if you want to know the truth. | ||
| If Kamala was elected or Joe, any one of those, you know, those thinkers, I think you could have ended up in World War III. | ||
| And I will say Steve Witkoff has been dealing incredibly with, but we're not going to have World War III. | ||
| We want to get it stopped, but we're not going to have World War III. | ||
| I think if I wasn't elected, I think that could have evolved into World War III. | ||
| It was a very, very bad situation. | ||
| And it still is, but it's not that kind of bad. | ||
| It's bad because so many young people have been killed. | ||
| How close do you think there is on an agreement on Ukraine? | ||
| I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve and Jared Kushner yesterday. | ||
| I know they're working hard on that. | ||
| I know that they're also traveling now. | ||
| Do you see this very close or still? | ||
| Well, I hate to say it. | ||
| I thought that was going to be, so I settled eight wars plus. | ||
| And I thought that was going to be one of my easier ones. | ||
| What is I keep having this number eight being thrown in my face every single time? | ||
| 12. | ||
| I need to look up what the eight wars that he's referring to. | ||
| He's referring to like, I don't even know. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| I guess we took over Syria and we installed the puppet there, right? | ||
| And then the Azerbaijan Armenia thing. | ||
| What does Yemen count too? | ||
| Is he counting that? | ||
| I guess we ran away. | ||
| So that counts. | ||
| The boat fell off the ship. | ||
| He's counting the Democratic Republic of the Congo. | ||
| They have an internal civil war going on there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, hold on. | |
| Pakistan, which they both, both sides say not involved. | ||
| So we're up to five. | ||
| By the way, DCR, that wasn't something that he like, that's not a fixed conflict. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If you guys caught our discussion, yeah. | |
| Thank you for saving us. | ||
| Saving you. | ||
| We're under new management. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| If you guys go check out a previous deep dive, that situation is like really messed up where you've got like hundreds of like these militia groups that have their own little carved out piece of this eastern part of the DCR area. | ||
| And then the like actual DCR government is like fighting these like rebel groups and everybody. | ||
| It's like the wild west. | ||
| And if you're if you're extracting whatever it is, the gold or the rare earth or whatever, you have to like go through and pay each group. | ||
| And then you're going, is it Rwanda they're going to? | ||
| Yeah, they're going through Rwanda and they're going through Uganda. | ||
| I mean, but it's fixed. | ||
| So don't worry about it. | ||
| And then that gold, well, so that gold gets mined in DCR, then goes to Rwanda, then goes to, I think, one other place to get processed, and then it goes to Dubai and it's sold to the rest of the world. | ||
| Maybe the wars we've stopped or the threats we haven't engaged, we haven't actually acted on. | ||
| It's like, I threatened you, I didn't do it. | ||
| That's a stepped war. | ||
| Well, like his thing is he's calling it a war, but there's a bunch of fractions that are fighting. | ||
| They're not going to stop even if he says that, right? | ||
| He's just going to go in. | ||
| He's like, the Americans are going to guard the gold. | ||
| That's what they're going to do. | ||
| Actually, they're going to literally escort the gold being dug out because that's a benefit to us because we get all of these rare, rare minerals, earth, silver, gold, that type of stuff. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So places we don't belong in. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| We're stealing from these people. | ||
| Leave them alone. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| The only reason why we're going in there is because, you know, we can't let the rebels have the gold. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Of course, it has to come to us. | |
| So, you know, we'll take a share. | ||
| We'll protect you. | ||
| I'm tired of American blood watering foreign soil. | ||
| It doesn't need to happen. | ||
| It's outrageous when it happens. | ||
| There's almost no excuse for it. | ||
| Almost no excuse for it. | ||
| Well, what they're going to do for this, I guarantee you, they're going to hire like mercenaries. | ||
| That's what they typically do for these types of things. | ||
| And mercenaries, guys, they have enough troops that they're almost like a mini army where they can do these things and go underneath. | ||
| I've actually, I grew up and I've known quite a few people that are Blackwater or ex-Special Forces or ex-SEALs or whatever you name it. | ||
| And like these people are, yeah, you know, like it's a job for me. | ||
| To be honest, to be honest, I just had an epiphany. | ||
| Most of the stuff that doesn't involve the American troops on the ground, there's tons of mercenaries just going around. | ||
| That's the whole thing. | ||
| The silent military is what I would call that. | ||
| And you've seen Eric Prince. | ||
| You've seen the ex-CEO of BlackRock or whatever. | ||
| He's prominent now. | ||
| He's tapped in with the administration. | ||
| So there's ways they're running things. | ||
| We don't even know about it. | ||
| Because ultimately, there's a large population of, like you say, mercenaries that are willing to do whatever. | ||
| Yes, because it's like the Wild West. | ||
| They don't answer to anyone specifically. | ||
| And then it's not a war, it's a business deal. | ||
| And you see how that sickness in the work. | ||
| Ooh, ooh, man, this is a chain of thought. | ||
| Remember, Blackwater got in trouble in, I think, 04 because they went into Iraq and started doing things that they shouldn't have been doing. | ||
| It became like this massive scandal and they basically were killing people they shouldn't have killed. | ||
| And it came out, it was a big deal. | ||
| And they're like, all right, Black Rock, we got to put you guys aside. | ||
| The military is going to have to take over this one. | ||
| And it's just a new company, you know, probably. | ||
| We don't, we don't even know. | ||
| We should do a deep dive on that. | ||
| The mercenaries figure out who those are. | ||
| I need to start taking these notes here. | ||
| Mercenaries is a big one. | ||
| COVID, I know that's another one. | ||
| And the housing thing. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Well, you know, let's read some comments. | ||
| Let's read some comments. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Blackwater changed their name. | ||
| Wagner Group, anyone? | ||
| I mean, Putin took them out. | ||
| That was pretty crazy, dude. | ||
| But I was impressed. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I went all the way up to like Moscow with his tanks and was like, and then he basically got blown out of the sky in his private jet. | ||
| You're in power 25 years. | ||
| You know, you're in power for a reason. | ||
| So you're right, dude. | ||
| And they were like, oh, we're better because we're a democracy. | ||
| And every four, eight years, a person from a control party gets in charge and they enact the same agenda. | ||
| Like, come on. | ||
| Yeah, we'll read some of the chats. | ||
| Also, thank you to anyone tonight who has this is the first time we've ever really done this super chat thing. | ||
| It's not something that like we're, I mean, we're, we really appreciate it. | ||
| We really appreciate it. | ||
| And I thank you guys for just anything you guys do to contribute to the show. | ||
| It goes back into the show. | ||
| So we're trying this new thing out where like if somebody gives a super chat, it like reads the name and it reads the amount and you can hear people talk. | ||
| And sometimes you miss the comments. | ||
| So that's why we do it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And here's here's here's the thing. | ||
| Ultimately, like Eric Prince was helping rescue kids for Alex Jones. | ||
| If you're referring to the Afghanistan evacuation, a lot of groups were involved in that. | ||
| I would agree that that's a good thing. | ||
| That was a horrible, horrible situation, absolutely terrible situation. | ||
| But, you know, like those groups do provide some legitimate services at the end of the day. | ||
| But ultimately, why are we over there? | ||
| Why are we over there? | ||
| Why are we doing these things? | ||
| Resources. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It comes down to that. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| Venezuela cleared. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I think Venezuela cleared that up for me. | ||
| Once I realized why any regime change, why anything happens, even why we go to war with certain places. | ||
| There's something there that we actually like. | ||
| Any warlords are financed by the CIA. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Trump just says the same stuff over and over. | ||
| Why play his comments at normal speed? | ||
| Time's like, yeah, we're going to speed them up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| You stay safe as well, T. Blood. | ||

| I'm just here back and forth doing chores. | ||
| Shout out to you. | ||
| Thank you for like, honestly, like you honor us by choosing to listen to us while you're chilling. | ||
| Man, there's a lot of people tonight. | ||
| Is everybody hunkered down because of the snow? | ||
| Is that what's going on? | ||
| Yeah, everyone's available. | ||
| I think everybody's home right now. | ||
| Is that can some people clarify in the chat? | ||
| Are you guys all home right now? | ||
| Because like there's like giant winter storm. | ||
| I heard Connecticut is getting like 10 to 18 inches. | ||
| I've heard Boston's getting like up to like 24. | ||
| Austin is just going to have like a little like layer of ice that everybody's freaking out. | ||

| Guess who's next? | ||
| Younger Americans will soon be paying $2 trillion in interest payments on the national debt to people who loaned us the money at costs that cost them nothing to earn. | ||
| This is true. | ||
| This could be true. | ||
| It's all imagining. | ||
| San Antonio HEB looked like an apocalypse. | ||
| Yeah, it does look like an apocalypse. | ||

Honey Badger donated $5. | |
| I believe the rebrand or name change of Blackwater is now Triple Canopy. | ||
| It's called Triple Canopy. | ||
| There's a double feedback issue. | ||
| I don't know what that is. | ||
| It's fine, but it doesn't go on stream. | ||
| Yeah, Blackwater. | ||
| Let's call it like White Earth or something. | ||
| There's infinite antonyms and sentiments you can use or do whatever. | ||
| Snowing here in Colorado. | ||
| Storm. | ||
| Thank you, Honey Badger. | ||
| Storm again, Adam says. | ||
| Yeah. | ||

| I think it's overblown. | ||
| Well, Colorado, I expect the snow. | ||
| Come on now. | ||
| For sure. | ||
| More people here. | ||
| It's our channel, bro. | ||
| This is the Grayer. | ||

| Because Fallujah is one of the worst things in Iraq. | ||
| What? | ||
| The Fallujah incident? | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| I got to recap. | ||
| Like, I know off the top of my head, but I don't want to speak on it. | ||
| I've just seen, I've seen an interview with, who's that? | ||
| Who's that guy? | ||
| Sean Ryan. | ||
| I saw him interview a Maureen who was there. | ||
| He was going over it. | ||
| It sounded apocalyptic. | ||
| It's like the worst place ever. | ||
| But I don't know. | ||
| I'm too young. | ||
| But thank you. | ||
| And please like the stream. | ||
| Repost the stream if you're on X. Comment on the stream if you're on YouTube or Rumble. | ||
| Go to the comment section. | ||
| That really, really, really helps the show. | ||
| It really does. | ||
| And by the way, you guys are, I got to say, I'm feeling something. | ||
| Like the amount of engagement that we have. | ||
| It's a lot of love. | ||
| It's a lot of love, dude. | ||
| And the amount of engagement that we have beats a lot of people that I see. | ||
| You guys are like loyal. | ||
| You guys are active. | ||
| And that makes a big impact to us because I see this and I'm like, all right, double down. | ||
| Like we just got to bring more value, more value. | ||
| You got to work out more value. | ||
| So if you guys have noticed this, this little chat in the right side, that's new. | ||
| Whole TV, everything. | ||
| We got Andrew the badass switching for us. | ||
| I mean, it's all come together at a point. | ||
| It's still coming together. | ||
| We have a lot to do. | ||
| But people don't realize it because we were doing the show Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday. | ||
| And then recently I started doing daily and then you switched to Thursday, Sunday. | ||
| You're doing that because we're upscaling. | ||
| We're going. | ||
| We're going to a crazy dimension. | ||
| I'm trying to bring on everything that has to do with like professional show. | ||
| Yeah, structure. | ||
| That's like my biggest thing right now for the show is structure because we, if you like, if you guys were there for the StreamYard time period, like just messing with that all the time and can't hear the audio over the keyboard. | ||
| Andrew has been phenomenal. | ||
| This thing is just not glitched at all. | ||
| Everything's working as should. | ||
| And then at the same time, I think the next stage to this stuff is like, what is the next stage? | ||
| I got so much. | ||
| Getting calls to work with. | ||
| Getting calls to work is the next thing. | ||
| And that's why we've had people ask us, like, call in, call in. | ||
| We're still working it out with the new software. | ||
| The new software is so incredible. | ||
| The only thing is there's a couple audio input things that haven't been sorted out yet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| So you guys, yeah, you guys won't be able to call in for some time. | ||
| Also, like, you know, sometimes we have like 5K people on and no one calls. | ||
| It's just sad. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| I am still using the baby software. | ||
| I'm still using StreamYard. | ||
| So on the daily show, we're just kind of like shooting the shit or like me sitting in here. | ||
| Feel free to call in. | ||
| I'll give the number. | ||
| And just guys, I will be back. | ||
| I'll be doing more streams. | ||
| I came in tonight because we didn't do yesterday. | ||
| I'm moving. | ||
| Currently, I'm moving apartments. | ||
| And you guys are working as well. | ||
| Working, dude. | ||
| I'm doing a lot. | ||
| But I'm doing it for the love of the motivated guy. | ||
| He's a good guy right here. | ||
| And at the end of the day, like, I wanted to be here tonight, enjoy the company of you guys. | ||
| And I will be guarantee every Tuesday. | ||
| I mean, every Thursday and Sunday, I will be here religiously. | ||
| Sunday, 100%. | ||
| I will be here religiously, giving you guys the deep dives, giving you guys the marquee show, pious interviews. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| The one that you guys always need to be tuning in for all the time. | ||
| And what it comes down to for me, and this is the thing just about like doing a show online or whatever. | ||
| People call themselves podcasters or influencers. | ||
| And we even sometimes use the C-word content because it's just what people say nowadays. | ||
| I guess it is what it is. | ||
| Ultimately, I wanted to do a professional show. | ||
| I wanted to do something with production value. | ||
| I wanted to do something with intelligence. | ||
| I wanted to do something rational that ultimately wasn't boring. | ||
| And what we're doing now with the chat, with the super chats, we're doing now with Andrew switching for us. | ||
| We are now finally able, and the costumes as well. | ||
| Look at that. | ||
| How many shows are doing this, guys? | ||

And I put on, dude, that would be so legendary. | |
| I put on the gray wig earlier on one of the weekday streams. | ||
| I was like, I kind of like this. | ||
| I kind of like getting into character. | ||
| And I understand why you like doing it too. | ||
| So it's very fun. | ||
| I remember back at back at the Infowar Studio, back in the Yay old days, before it was Owens' room and then Chase's room and now Harrison's room, they used to have a giant costume room. | ||
| And it was just full of all kinds of crazy stuff, right? | ||
| And it'd be like an elephant head and a donkey head, Democrat, Republican, or each other, all kinds of fun stuff. | ||
| We're bringing back vintage feels, vintage vibes. | ||
| And like, ultimately, it's a fun show. | ||
| These are not fun. | ||
| Oh, we got another chat. | ||
