=== Whistleblower Protections Needed (02:06) ===

[00:00:04]  This is the first time we're gonna send humans to the moon and we're gonna have humans in low Earth orbit.
[00:00:07]  That is awesome.
[00:00:08]  I was talking to someone very close to Elon Musk.
[00:00:13]  And this is in the first Trump administration.
[00:00:16]  And they said, no, they're really gonna launch the Mars mission from the dark side of the moon.
[00:00:21]  So it can't be looked at by a lot of our enemies, but also it's a better launch point.
[00:00:25]  And also it's protecting the craft facilities from solar radiation.
[00:00:31]  And they've already got 3D printers up there, they've already got a base up there for the secret space program.
[00:00:37]  And that when Trump wins re election, they're going to announce it and do it.
[00:00:42]  You notice Musk suddenly said, now we're not launching from the earth, we're launching from the dark side of the moon a month ago.
[00:00:48]  Exactly.
[00:00:48]  And well, that's six, seven years ahead.
[00:00:50]  That's the kind of intel.
[00:00:52]  This is part of the problem, which is we're getting the intel much, much later.
[00:00:55]  And there's this gap in times.
[00:00:57]  And we talk about things like the release of the UFO file.
[00:01:00]  This is scheduled.
[00:01:01]  Eight brilliant minds, each one inching closer to unlocking zero point energy, plasma fusion that could render fossil fuels.
[00:01:09]  Fuels obsolete or the anti gravity secrets allegedly reverse engineered from crashed non human craft have met mysterious ends or vanished without a trace.
[00:01:21]  Their deaths and disappearances clustering in recent months amid rising whispers of massive revelations.
[00:01:29]  I've been 100% serious, I've been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is.
[00:01:35]  And I'll just tell you this if they would release the things that I've seen.
[00:01:41]  You would stay up, you'd be up at night worrying about or thinking about this stuff.
[00:01:47]  This country would have come unglued, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard.
[00:01:52]  They would demand answers.
[00:01:54]  And we need to.
[00:01:56]  But, you know, it's never going to get.
[00:01:58]  And fortunately, it just keeps getting covered up and covered up.
[00:02:01]  And the people that know are dying or disappearing, as the case may be.
[00:02:05]  Wow.
[00:02:06]  And for the record, I'm not suicidal and I don't take risks.

=== The Rubik's Cube of Secrets (02:25) ===

[00:02:10]  This is why Congress is working hard for whistleblower protections because.
[00:02:15]  We want people to feel safe to come out and have a conversation.
[00:02:18]  And right now, they don't feel overly safe.
[00:02:21]  They've seen some of the tactics and techniques that were applied to try to keep people quiet in the past.
[00:02:28]  Let me say this in general terms.
[00:02:29]  People say, oh, well, the government would never kill anybody to protect a secret.
[00:02:34]  Try going to Area 51 and look at the signs on that chain link fence where it says lethal force authorized.
[00:02:41]  You cross that fence, and they can kill you dead.
[00:02:44]  Okay?
[00:02:44]  So the government can, under certain extreme cases, under certain extreme circumstances, situations and conditions, they can do whatever they need to do to protect national security, and they will.
[00:02:54]  But I was standing behind an alien in a spacecraft, just a small one.
[00:03:00]  Okay, I asked you a question, and he said, okay.
[00:03:05]  And I said, how do you get from here to Alpha Centauri?
[00:03:11]  We can't do that.
[00:03:13]  The only thing that we think about is I have to go really fast for a really long time.
[00:03:20]  Can you use what information I have in my head and try to explain it to me?
[00:03:26]  And he said, well, do you know what a Rubik's Cube is?
[00:03:29]  And I said, oh yeah, my son can do them in two minutes.
[00:03:33]  He says, okay, so imagine a Rubik's Cube, but not necessarily just the six sides.
[00:03:39]  Just imagine the concept of a Rubik's Cube.
[00:03:41]  And I said, okay.
[00:03:43]  Now imagine on each one of the tiles on the Rubik's Cube has a chart of the elements.
[00:03:52]  And he says, so what you do to get up to Alpha Centauri is you just twist the cube.
[00:04:00]  And I said, what do you mean?
[00:04:05]  He said, well, I told you he wouldn't understand.
[00:04:07]  And he said, when the periodic table occurs in a different place, you're at that place.
[00:04:16]  And that's just a very crude explanation.
[00:04:20]  But you have to stop thinking about go that way for a long time very fast.
[00:04:27]  Describe the very first time you were teleported.
[00:04:30]  It was scary in a way.
[00:04:32]  I mean, you know, you don't really know, okay, is this evil?

=== Iran Aggressors Double Down (14:47) ===

[00:04:35]  Is this good?
[00:04:36]  What is this?
[00:04:37]  Is, you know, what do I do with this?
[00:04:39]  How do I deal with it?
[00:04:40]  I was on the phone.
[00:04:42]  Oh my God, what's happening?
[00:04:44]  And I was landed and landed about 40 miles away in a ditch outside of a Baptist church in a little tiny town just where you cross over the border.
[00:04:56]  And, um, We've got a deep dive.
[00:05:11]  We've got news and current events.
[00:05:13]  And we've got Gary Cardone joining us here in the third hour.
[00:05:17]  How do you feel about that?
[00:05:18]  I feel amazing.
[00:05:19]  Gary is one of those guys that I have been in spaces on with Suleiman.
[00:05:22]  I'm grateful for Suleiman to help me get in touch with him.
[00:05:25]  He is the brother of Grant Cardone, which I'm sure a lot of people know about who that is as well.
[00:05:31]  But Gary has his own history.
[00:05:33]  He has his own investments.
[00:05:35]  He's a very well established entrepreneur on his own.
[00:05:40]  Space.
[00:05:40]  And this is the thing about being back online.
[00:05:42]  Like, I wasn't on Twitter for forever.
[00:05:43]  And then I got back on X, I guess it's called, but I still refer to it as Twitter, whatever.
[00:05:48]  And you start getting in these spaces, you start hearing these people talk, right or wrong, like they're in there all the time, they're making predictions, they're actively involved.
[00:05:55]  Everyone seems to be monitoring the situation.
[00:05:57]  Now, every single day, we got something new.
[00:06:00]  Right.
[00:06:01]  Every day feels breaking, man.
[00:06:04]  I really feel like every day is a new day when it comes to these situations.
[00:06:08]  And it's crazy because, you know, you told me probably like four months ago.
[00:06:14]  You know, everything was kind of like calm and there wasn't a lot happening.
[00:06:17]  But you're like, as soon as something happens, you're going to see an explosion of activity online.
[00:06:22]  Sure.
[00:06:22]  And that's normal in media and world events in general.
[00:06:26]  Like things will ebb and flow.
[00:06:27]  Right.
[00:06:27]  And you'll get to a point like right now where it seems like, and it doesn't just seem like there is, we're about to get into it.
[00:06:33]  There's breaking news every five seconds.
[00:06:35]  But we get kind of used to in the kind of like the lull, slow down period where we were actually on our show breaking down causality going decades back.
[00:06:42]  And I was saying, just wait for it to happen.
[00:06:44]  Just wait for it to happen.
[00:06:45]  Now you were actually more correct.
[00:06:47]  Because you predicted it would be happening in the new year.
[00:06:49]  We were talking about this last year.
[00:06:51]  I thought this was all coming together.
[00:06:52]  Well, there were two things we were trying to make predictions on it was Venezuela and then the Iran conflict.
[00:06:58]  I remember for the Venezuela conflict, we were debating whether it was going to be by the end of the year, new year.
[00:07:02]  I was like, I think the Venezuela thing is going to happen right at the beginning of the year.
[00:07:06]  And then the Iran conflict, I think we both had a consensus that it was going to happen within the next couple of months.
[00:07:12]  I like the people that say nothing ever happens because, spoiler alert, things have been happening.
[00:07:16]  I want to go ahead and read this before we get into the other Trump.
[00:07:19]  Tweet selections from the past couple of days because it's unrelated to foreign policy.
[00:07:23]  Well, I mean, the anchor baby thing is foreign policy, but it's not related to the war.
[00:07:27]  Let's go to the new Trump tweet.
[00:07:29]  It's too bad that the Supreme Court can't watch and study the Mark Levin show.
[00:07:35]  I mean, you got to be kidding me tonight on the birthright citizenship scam.
[00:07:39]  If they saw it, they would never allow that money making hoax to continue.
[00:07:43]  They should have used their powers of common sense for the good of our country.
[00:07:47]  They feel miserably on the tariffs, needlessly costing the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars in potential rebates for benefit haters.
[00:07:53]  Ooh, it's always about the haters and the scammers.
[00:07:56]  Okay.
[00:07:57]  Why?
[00:07:57]  Don't do it again.
[00:07:58]  The country can only withstand so many bad decisions from a court that just doesn't seem to care.
[00:08:03]  Okay, so I think he's saying this because he knows it's going to get turned down.
[00:08:08]  Sure.
[00:08:09]  I mean, it's pretty clear.
[00:08:10]  I mean, this has been something that has existed for generation after generation.
[00:08:16]  And I know where he was intending was to be one of the reasons why he was running a campaign to stop the immigration.
[00:08:23]  Right.
[00:08:23]  And specifically, he's targeting like South America and Mexico.
[00:08:28]  I just think it's interesting that he wants all this goodwill to get all these political things done.
[00:08:32]  He wants people to be receptive towards him and his ideas, and he just goes around the world and kills people.
[00:08:37]  That's what's interesting to me.
[00:08:38]  And you got to keep in mind the concept of political capital, Tim.
[00:08:41]  Like, you think about the political capital that Trump had for people like us in 2024.
[00:08:45]  We were like, hell yeah, please, anything, everything.
[00:08:48]  Let's do what you say.
[00:08:49]  Help us.
[00:08:50]  We love you.
[00:08:51]  And then you get in there and you either spend that on the policies you want to get passed domestically or you can spend it on a giant war.
[00:08:57]  So, what?
[00:08:58]  Well, and he's trying to get a win here, right?
[00:09:00]  True.
[00:09:00]  I think he sees the writing on the wall.
[00:09:02]  Everybody knows the midterms are coming up.
[00:09:04]  Right.
[00:09:05]  And Trump is like, we got to win somewhere here.
[00:09:07]  We overestimated the Iran conflict.
[00:09:10]  We need to be able to do something that people feel like, oh, I actually did something that I ran on to begin with.
[00:09:16]  Sure.
[00:09:16]  So that's really how I see this.
[00:09:18]  You could say I ran into a problem.
[00:09:21]  You could say something like that.
[00:09:22]  There's a ton of puns that you could do.
[00:09:23]  I want to go to this ultimatum from Trump.
[00:09:25]  This is the White House tweet.
[00:09:28]  Remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal, open up the Hormuz Strait.
[00:09:32]  Time is running out.
[00:09:33]  48 hours before all hell will rain down on them.
[00:09:36]  Glory be to God.
[00:09:38]  And that's not even the crazy one.
[00:09:39]  Ladies and gentlemen.
[00:09:40]  So did this come after?
[00:09:41]  This is April 4th.
[00:09:43]  Okay, this is an April 4th tweet, and I believe the 48 hour timeline expires today.
[00:09:49]  So, like, we've entered that time now where it's real wonky.
[00:09:53]  And, like, these ultimatums, Levin will come out, Lindsey Graham will come out and say, This is what we need.
[00:09:58]  So, that's coming from that faction.
[00:10:00]  And then you, well, okay, so here's the thing it always feels like the treadmill keeps going, and it's like the marathon's almost there.
[00:10:08]  The Iran conflict's going to end, and he gives a new date, like, Oh, you've got 48 hours.
[00:10:13]  You've got 24 hours.
[00:10:15]  You've got 72 hours.
[00:10:16]  Because now, after this one, you've got the tweet that talks about him saying Tuesday is the big day.
[00:10:21]  Yes.
[00:10:21]  All right.
[00:10:22]  Well, let's get into it.
[00:10:24]  Let's go ahead and get into it now.
[00:10:25]  I want to show the New York Post article.
[00:10:27]  I think that does the best job.
[00:10:28]  We can also throw the tweet up as well.
[00:10:29]  I'm going to throw this over here if y'all want an overhead shot.
[00:10:32]  Iran vows devastating and widespread retaliations if Trump follows through with fresh strikes.
[00:10:38]  Here is the original Trump threat Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day.
[00:10:44]  All wrapped up in one in Iran, Trump posted on True Social.
[00:10:48]  There will be nothing like it.
[00:10:50]  Open the effing straight.
[00:10:52]  And this is the thing it's like, we're not in middle school.
[00:10:54]  Like, you don't.
[00:10:55]  It's like, ooh, the F word.
[00:10:57]  Like, a lot of the base does like that sort of thing.
[00:11:00]  Open the effing straight, you crazy B word, or you'll be living in hell.
[00:11:05]  Just watch Praise be to Allah.
[00:11:08]  That's my president.
[00:11:09]  That's my Trump.
[00:11:10]  That's my Trump.
[00:11:12]  You get them.
[00:11:13]  Praising Allah on Easter.
[00:11:15]  I know.
[00:11:15]  Very interesting for the Christian president to be doing that.
[00:11:19]  And even stranger to be mocking the worldwide and American Muslim population.
[00:11:23]  That's what we were talking about earlier.
[00:11:24]  I'm like, look, it's fine if you want to play hardball.
[00:11:28]  But when you mock Allah, there's one thing Muslims don't play around with, and it's their religion.
[00:11:33]  So this is just going to make them double down.
[00:11:35]  He wants them to attack, he wants them to do something that gives him the excuse to do ground troops.
[00:11:39]  The threats from both sides were lobbed just as Iran and the U.S. Received a draft proposal late Sunday calling for a 45 day ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:11:49]  Now, here's the thing.
[00:11:50]  When you hear about stuff like this, I see it promoted on Twitter all the time.
[00:11:53]  They're like, the Iranians, they want to make a deal.
[00:11:56]  They're all being murdered.
[00:11:57]  And it's like, no, all the other nations like the UAE, like Turkey, like Pakistan, they desperately want both peace so that their markets can be good and they want the credit for ending this.
[00:12:07]  Yes.
[00:12:07]  So they're putting forward all these different proposals.
[00:12:09]  Your thoughts?
[00:12:10]  And you know what's even wild is you look at just what's happening here domestically.
[00:12:14]  Like your dad covered this yesterday.
[00:12:16]  Right.
[00:12:16]  He's putting out a lot of tweets.
[00:12:18]  He's putting out a lot of good reports.
[00:12:19]  Man, the internet is just a bunch of like hounds.
[00:12:23]  They're like, your father's a traitor.
[00:12:26]  How dare he?
[00:12:27]  And I do a comment.
[00:12:28]  I'm like, guys, you're not even listening to what Alex is trying to say here.
[00:12:33]  He's trying to get you to see the bigger picture.
[00:12:35]  Your father has always been anti war.
[00:12:38]  And there are people who want him to be a neocon and support the war.
[00:12:42]  And your dad sees the bigger picture like the rest of us.
[00:12:44]  Well, isn't it so terrifying?
[00:12:46]  Though, Tim, that you see, like, maybe you think people are on the left or whatever, people crazy blue hair, like 29 genders, maybe that's a little kooky.
[00:12:54]  Then you look over here now on quote unquote our own side, and you have people that literally call for countries to be glass, countries to be destroyed, ultimately civilians to be killed.
[00:13:04]  And you're like, well, I know that a lot of Americans, hopefully the majority of Americans, are peace loving and sane and want a good future for everybody.
[00:13:10]  But there is this large minority of the population, and it's both left and right, that are just nutballs and they don't see the consequences of the actions of their policies.
[00:13:20]  And that's what it is.
[00:13:21]  They go, Well, you're attacking my favorite sports team.
[00:13:24]  You're attacking my favorite movie star.
[00:13:25]  You know, Trump's the guy I like.
[00:13:26]  It's like that guy that called in, My buddy Trump is in a fight.
[00:13:30]  And it's like, Okay, well, like, when has he ever been your friend?
[00:13:33]  When has he been a friend to us?
[00:13:34]  He promised to be our friend.
[00:13:36]  But just because someone says they're going to do something nice for you doesn't actually mean they've done the thing.
[00:13:40]  We actually demand results.
[00:13:41]  I mean, he had plenty of times to help in terms of the things that your family has been dealing with.
[00:13:46]  Absolutely.
[00:13:47]  But here's the thing beyond any of that, we're all just human beings.
[00:13:50]  Just stop the killing, Trump.
[00:13:51]  Yeah.
[00:13:52]  Just bring our boys home.
[00:13:53]  Just declare victory and move on.
[00:13:55]  And you know what?
[00:13:56]  Maybe we can, at some level, crimes have to be accounted for at some level.
[00:14:00]  Maybe we can move past this.
[00:14:02]  But there's no way to do that once you do ground invasion.
[00:14:05]  So, with the bridge, the bridge thing came after he made this tweet, right?
[00:14:09]  Yes.
[00:14:09]  Okay.
[00:14:09]  Can we roll the.
[00:14:12]  Where are we at with that?
[00:14:13]  All right.
[00:14:15]  I'm going to go ahead and read this.
[00:14:16]  And let's go to the Alex Jones tweet.
[00:14:18]  Imagine if Iran bombed and destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge in California.
[00:14:23]  What would you call the act?
[00:14:24]  The USA, Israel, the aggressors, which they are, bombed and destroyed Iran's tallest bridge, the B1 bridge.
[00:14:30]  This will only unify the Iranian people against Israel and the United States.
[00:14:34]  This is not what Trump ran on, and this is not what we voted for.
[00:14:37]  You see the huge response here.
[00:14:38]  This gets like 4.5 million views, and it just has oodles and oodles of comments.
[00:14:43]  And there are just so many people in here saying, like the quartering.
[00:14:46]  He said, My dad's simping for Iran.
[00:14:49]  It's like, well, this is civilian infrastructure, bud.
[00:14:51]  You know, this is a war crime, right?
[00:14:52]  We're not simping for anybody.
[00:14:54]  We don't want to be the aggressors because we want to have the moral high ground.
[00:14:57]  We love this country.
[00:14:57]  You're the ones that don't.
[00:14:58]  No, but like, I look at it and I'm like, the people who are encouraging this, they know they have no immediate impact to them.
[00:15:07]  Right.
[00:15:07]  So they're like, oh, I can take this position because I live here in the comfort of America.
[00:15:12]  Yes.
[00:15:13]  And my nice, cozy home.
[00:15:15]  I get to go to sleep with my little snuggies and my pillows.
[00:15:19]  No, no, no.
[00:15:20]  You wake up.
[00:15:21]  In the onesie, you put on your little twinkle toe slippers, and then you get in like the giant loaded F 250 and you go to Chick fil A and you get like 10 sandwiches.
[00:15:28]  You pass out drunk, and at the red light, he's sitting there, We need to bomb the Iranians.
[00:15:32]  Yes, on on on X on uh on TikTok, spurging out saying they love the president at any cost.
[00:15:39]  Oh, look at that!
[00:15:39]  Love you, dad.
[00:15:40]  You're a real one.
[00:15:41]  Love you too, champ.
[00:15:42]  And so, yeah, you see, some people are like, Alex has always been anti war.
[00:15:45]  That is a good statement, and then other people, okay, so this is where the quartering steps.
[00:15:49]  All right, all right, all right, let's pause it there.
[00:15:52]  I struck by some of the most insane shit I ever said.
[00:15:55]  Sorry, sorry.
[00:15:56]  Quite honestly, a lot of it ended up true, lol, with this whole simping for Iran thing.
[00:16:01]  So, pause it right here, but we'll just talk about it just for a second.
[00:16:04]  This whole simping for Iran thing, I'm going to read out my dad's tweet for you again.
[00:16:08]  Imagine if Iran bombed and destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge in California.
[00:16:12]  What would you call the act?
[00:16:13]  The USA, Israel, the aggressors bombed and destroyed Iran's tallest bridge, the B1 Bridge.
[00:16:17]  This will only unify the Iranian people against Israel and the United States.
[00:16:20]  This is not what Trump ran on, not what we voted for.
[00:16:22]  That's all objectively true.
[00:16:24]  So, where in here is there simping for Iran?
[00:16:27]  Can you show me where he's trying to lick the Ayatollah?
[00:16:31]  Well, I mean, look, simping for Iran means you have to be for the war.
[00:16:37]  You have to be for bombing civilians.
[00:16:39]  You have to be for escalation of this conflict.
[00:16:42]  And the thing that I was talking about yesterday, and I made a comment, I'm like, guys, the bigger picture here is if we don't deescalate soon, the larger implications are going to be felt at home.
[00:16:56]  You're not even thinking about the people who are already struggling from all the mess that the Biden administration did just four to five years ago.
[00:17:05]  Those prices haven't come down.
[00:17:07]  The only thing you saw come down were the gas prices that's on the gas station sticker tag.
[00:17:13]  But everything that happened with food, everything that happened with the inflation of the housing market, none of that has actually come down to a level.
[00:17:21]  So we're only going to keep going up and just keep piling and compounding the mess that we're already in.
[00:17:27]  And you know, what we like to do here is we like to break it down for you guys.
[00:17:30]  And I was sitting in there getting prepped for the show, and Tim walks in.
[00:17:33]  And Tim, you just showed me some incredibly phenomenal information.
[00:17:37]  Okay, yeah.
[00:17:38]  I want to get into that maybe next segment so we have full time for it.
[00:17:41]  I just want to give people a little hint here.
[00:17:42]  We're talking about the oil tankers and the speed they move.
[00:17:45]  I didn't even know it's basically a bicycle.
[00:17:47]  Yeah.
[00:17:48]  Right.
[00:17:48]  So they're all.
[00:17:48]  I think it's like 15 knots or 12 knots.
[00:17:50]  So they're all super slow.
[00:17:52]  There are all these global catastrophes that are happening in slow motion.
[00:17:55]  We haven't even really felt the full effects of it.
[00:17:57]  And these people in the comment section think that they have a magic wand to just control the earth and just make everything work out.
[00:18:05]  When you even disturb or make one of these systems tremble, it's bordering on global crisis.
[00:18:10]  And we're already far past that.
[00:18:11]  That's what we're upset about.
[00:18:13]  And you look at someone like I see Mario Newfall getting hate from people.
[00:18:16]  And all I see is a guy being positive, trying to stop.
[00:18:18]  The war.
[00:18:19]  I mean, Mario has always tried to put out as much news and good news as possible.
[00:18:24]  And that's what I've seen from his channels.
[00:18:27]  I know that we've been a little bit black pill, but I want to keep in mind we're always praying for hope.
[00:18:32]  We want this to stop.
[00:18:33]  Okay.
[00:18:33]  And I feel like a lot of the time, like we hate empire, of course, and we don't like illegal wars, but a lot of the time people are just like, we're going into the black pit of hell.
[00:18:42]  Let's avoid that.
[00:18:43]  Let's just get them to pull out.
[00:18:44]  Trump always chickens out.
[00:18:46]  Why can't he do it again?
[00:18:47]  Right.
[00:18:47]  Like he hasn't gone in already.
[00:18:49]  Like, Lord have mercy and God forbidden everything.
[00:18:52]  Hopefully, He doesn't today.
[00:18:53]  But I see this honestly as a good sign.
[00:18:54]  I thought they would have already done it.
[00:18:56]  And so, I think why your dad has been commenting on the state of Trump's physical health is because there's no logical conclusion to how somebody could just continue to double down and triple down and just continue to bring us closer and closer.
[00:19:13]  And say different things.
[00:19:14]  And it's like, Borderline schizo in certain aspects, not calling him schizophrenic.
[00:19:19]  Well, again, what does the word schizophrenic mean, Tim?
[00:19:22]  Do you know?

=== How to Make a Terrorist (07:47) ===

[00:19:23]  No, go ahead.
[00:19:23]  It means split head.
[00:19:24]  So he literally is schizophrenic.
[00:19:26]  He says one thing, he does another thing.
[00:19:29]  That's literally textbook definition of what schizophrenia is to the audience.
[00:19:33]  It's what the Latin means, it means split head.
[00:19:35]  And we look at all of this, we see Trump, and we see a guy that's 79 years old that's having these problems.
[00:19:40]  And we go, okay, so we're the people that report the news.
[00:19:44]  We watched Biden for four years basically be dead, and now we can't talk about something that we're seeing that's an issue.
[00:19:50]  You know, so we have to be real here.
[00:19:52]  We can't play favorites with the people that we like.
[00:19:54]  We got to cover the topics as they come.
[00:19:57]  So let's say this for the people who are defending Trump, they're defending all the actions that are coming here.
[00:20:02]  Let's just play a hypothetical situation, okay?
[00:20:05]  Let's say it's no longer Donald Trump doing this and we just slide Biden or Kamala into this situation.
[00:20:13]  Right.
[00:20:14]  Do you think all of those people who are defending the actions would still be defending the actions if it was somebody who's on the left?
[00:20:21]  And you can see the evidence of that.
[00:20:22]  You can see the evidence of everyone, all the cat turd, Eric Doherty saying, oh, if Kamala's here, she's going to take us to war.
[00:20:26]  We don't want war.
[00:20:28]  So, did you not want war or did you just not want Kamala?
[00:20:31]  And that's what we got to decipher here.
[00:20:33]  That is what we have to decipher.
[00:20:35]  And the whole point here on InfoWars, and Rex and I, we always talk about this.
[00:20:40]  It's being ideologically consistent.
[00:20:42]  Right.
[00:20:43]  Because if you just move your feelings or your opinions based on the flow of the news.
[00:20:49]  If you just bizarre your feelings?
[00:20:50]  Yeah.
[00:20:50]  I mean, it makes you not have a backbone and you can't be considered legitimate because then you don't actually stand on anything.
[00:20:58]  Right.
[00:20:58]  You don't stand on business, as they say.
[00:21:00]  Right.
[00:21:00]  Because there's no business to stand on, and your positions are your emotions.
[00:21:04]  Right.
[00:21:05]  I feel like that would be a great way to surmise it.
[00:21:07]  We see a lot of that.
[00:21:08]  I mean, and we know who said that earlier when he came on and debated you.
[00:21:11]  He basically said, Well, I just, you know, it's how I feel.
[00:21:15]  And it's like, okay, so you have no real opinion that stands the test of time?
[00:21:20]  Well, I also like the assumption, and this comes from a lot of people that are older.
[00:21:24]  I love people that are older, but it's the concept of young men, you don't know how the world really works.
[00:21:30]  It's all bad.
[00:21:30]  All our leaders are just, you can't accept.
[00:21:32]  Good things out of them.
[00:21:34]  Where does that come from?
[00:21:36]  Where does that come from exactly?
[00:21:37]  Thinking that things can never get better and they can only perpetually get worse.
[00:21:40]  We have to be happy when it slows down.
[00:21:43]  I mean, it's what social media wants you to feel now.
[00:21:46]  Yes.
[00:21:47]  Every single moment that you stay on this algorithm and they keep you in the loop of this like doom and gloom.
[00:21:53]  Yes, yes.
[00:21:54]  Somebody's making money off of advertisement.
[00:21:57]  Somebody's making money off of just the fear mongering and getting you to like feel anxiety and go and panic buy.
[00:22:03]  So when people are speaking out and trying to get you to like wake up, smell the roses, realize this isn't a good thing, it goes against what the dark side of the internet wants you to do.
[00:22:15]  Yes.
[00:22:15]  And what this whole broadcast.
[00:22:16]  Really is about taking control over your own life and giving yourself the power of having the information so you don't actually have to rely on one of these tainted mainstream media news sources.
[00:22:25]  And that empowers you in every aspect of life, physically, mentally, everything.
[00:22:29]  Because you're a free human being out there in the world living your life, doing what you got to do, not what some government tells you to do or not what some company tells you to do.
[00:22:36]  And the last thing I'll say on this you look at like CNN, they're like, Trump is a dictator and he's the worst man alive.
[00:22:45]  And they just try to like swallow up.
[00:22:47]  Every ounce of like negativity they can put, and then you go on Fox and they're like, Glorious Trump, the dear leader, he's doing the best thing ever.
[00:22:56]  And it's like, No, no, no, no, guys, you, you both have it wrong.
[00:23:00]  Okay, sure, there's nuances to this.
[00:23:02]  There, there's not, let's not take this to extremes.
[00:23:05]  The reality is that he's not even that important.
[00:23:08]  That's what the real reality is.
[00:23:09]  And we've had people like Simon Dixon on, and we've discussed this at length.
[00:23:12]  Ultimately, he's middle management at best, and what he represents is the continuation or end of the empire, right?
[00:23:18]  So, when we, when we Point things out about him, we critique him.
[00:23:22]  It really is like, you know, Uncle Sam, right?
[00:23:24]  Like he is a representation of the physical representation, a big, powerful, but old, bloated, weakened, like rich white guy.
[00:23:32]  Like that's literally the archetype of what America has become.
[00:23:36]  And then, you know, if we just think about Iran in this conflict, they are their own individual mentality, okay?
[00:23:43]  And we're seeing that Iran is vowing.
[00:23:45]  Well, we're seeing, let's read this article because Iran vows retaliation.
[00:23:49]  Yeah.
[00:23:49]  And this is a retaliation to the bridge, right?
[00:23:52]  Yeah, well, they're saying if there are further attacks.
[00:23:55]  So, this is the thing, they're already putting up with a lot.
[00:23:58]  But I think this is following the ultimatum.
[00:24:01]  Maybe we can show some images from here because I've already read this one.
[00:24:03]  We can look at what they've done already.
[00:24:04]  If we can look at that tanker system there that's been destroyed, as well as smoke billowing from a vessel following explosion from the port of Bandar.
[00:24:12]  The president has so far been cautious about hitting power plants in Iran amid fears it could inhabit or inhibit the country's ability to recover after the conflict ends.
[00:24:21]  But they come out and say, We didn't even have the tweet for today.
[00:24:24]  They come out and say, We want to send it to the Stone Age.
[00:24:26]  Well, how is that legitimate?
[00:24:29]  How does that make other people around the world want to make deals with us, think that we're friendly and safe?
[00:24:33]  If I'm an American and I want to go vacation somewhere, if I go vacation over there, the people are going to hate me because they know they're probably going to bomb their country.
[00:24:40]  In the same way, when the Israelis go around, like a lot of the times they're getting shun from places because they're like, You know, like, hey, there's your oil embargo.
[00:24:46]  Like, come on.
[00:24:47]  Well, and the bigger problem here is the governments are not always representative of the people who live in the country itself.
[00:24:54]  Oh, no, absolutely.
[00:24:56]  The same struggles we have here when we went through the Biden administration, now the people are feeling buyer's remorse for Trump and everything.
[00:25:04]  The same thing is happening for these other countries, too.
[00:25:07]  Every Iranian does not agree with what the Ayatollah does.
[00:25:11]  And so when you see a guy call in here and be like, those muzzies, and I'll kill 50.
[00:25:18]  Of them broke coders.
[00:25:20]  Yeah, and he's calling them pigs.
[00:25:21]  And it's like, dude, that's not the same as the people.
[00:25:24]  They're not the ones going out there and doing the terrorist stuff.
[00:25:29]  Well, let's just do a little bomb experiment, or not bomb experiment.
[00:25:32]  Let's do a little thought experiment.
[00:25:33]  Let's just say I want to bomb the entire continent of Africa because I don't like them.
[00:25:38]  Is that a joke?
[00:25:39]  Is that a funny haha time?
[00:25:41]  You see what I'm saying?
[00:25:42]  Is that, oh, la, la, la?
[00:25:44]  Now imagine if we were actually doing that.
[00:25:45]  Oh, wait, we are.
[00:25:46]  We're bombing Nigeria.
[00:25:48]  So it's just, it's so insane.
[00:25:49]  It's so hypocritical.
[00:25:51]  All these people are complete fruit balls, power mad fruit balls, as my dad would say.
[00:25:55]  But we're going to cover that and a lot more.
[00:25:57]  I want to read you a little bit about the bridge itself and let you know it is civilian infrastructure.
[00:26:02]  This is one other thing we were seeing people say, oh, no, it's not.
[00:26:05]  Oh, no, it's not.
[00:26:06]  I'm still confused because I'm seeing people say it is.
[00:26:09]  I'm seeing some people say it's not.
[00:26:11]  I know that the bridge has not been fully built yet, right?
[00:26:16]  Yeah, it's the unfinished B1 bridge in Karaj, Iran.
[00:26:19]  It was attacked by the U.S. with two missiles, causing it to partially collapse.
[00:26:23]  Eight people were killed, and at least 95 were wounded.
[00:26:25]  That's a light day for us.
[00:26:26]  According to the Iranian news agency, it was a double tap attack, and the double tap attack occurred once first responders had arrived to assist victims of the first strike.
[00:26:36]  This is not a military landing zone.
[00:26:38]  They're not bringing missiles across there.
[00:26:39]  This is an unfinished bridge, and it's the tallest bridge in Iran.
[00:26:42]  It's a civil engineering masterpiece.
[00:26:44]  That's the purpose of it.
[00:26:46]  Like, they targeted their tallest bridge for a reason.
[00:26:49]  And that's why your dad is making the equivalency to the Golden Gate Bridge because, I mean, one, it looks like the Golden Gate Bridge, but it's also a status for these guys.
[00:26:58]  And what's the quickest way to make a terrorist, Tim?
[00:27:00]  Bomb somebody's house.
[00:27:01]  Bomb somebody's house, yeah.
[00:27:02]  Yeah, it's bomb somebody's house.
[00:27:03]  The quickest way to make a terrorist is almost like we want them to hate us.
[00:27:06]  It's almost like that's our calculation.
[00:27:08]  Look at those photos.
[00:27:09]  Truly incredible.

=== Tesla Arrest and Luxury Spending (15:12) ===

[00:27:10]  But we're going to be coming back with this and more after the break.
[00:27:13]  Tim's got a phenomenal little deep dive, and then we got the major deep dive.
[00:27:16]  For you, being joined by Gary Cardone in the third hour, you aren't going to want to miss this.
[00:27:21]  I want to tell you right now if you're not taking methylene blue, we got the best the alexjonesstore.com.
[00:27:26]  Methylene blue, methylene red, T3 trifecta iodine, the phenomenal power plant and methyl drive products that I created.
[00:27:33]  You're going to want to go there right now and check out the deals.
[00:27:46]  Ringing in the morning with you.
[00:27:47]  We hope you're enjoying it as well.
[00:27:49]  Rex Jones, Tim Tompkins here on the gray area.
[00:27:52]  We've got a lot of great news to get back to you with.
[00:27:54]  We've also got Gary Cardone coming on in the third hour.
[00:27:57]  Tim, take it away.
[00:27:59]  Yeah, so we're talking a lot about Trump.
[00:28:01]  We're talking a lot about the Iran side of things and the retaliation, but I want to bring this conversation to what the impact is across the world because it's getting really serious and it's getting real.
[00:28:15]  Okay, sure.
[00:28:16]  And when I look at it, We got to look at the bigger picture of the oil and the shock because the shock.
[00:28:24]  Yeah, because right now, what we saw is we saw the spark or the flash of the nuke, but we didn't actually see or feel the aftershock.
[00:28:33]  The aftershock.
[00:28:33]  The aftershock wave hasn't even hit us yet.
[00:28:35]  It hasn't even hit us yet.
[00:28:36]  So I want to play number one, which kind of shows how slow the tankers travel that actually deliver the oil because I had no clue about this.
[00:28:46]  Sure.
[00:28:46]  Let's do that.
[00:28:47]  So let's play that because this is going to put this into perspective for you guys.
[00:28:51]  This is a map of global oil flows put together by JP Morgan.
[00:28:54]  Don't worry about all this text, we'll explain it in a minute.
[00:28:57]  These red lines show the oil coming out of the Middle East, going out to the rest of the world.
[00:29:02]  This is the stuff that's been cut off.
[00:29:03]  Here it is back in December before the war.
[00:29:06]  There it goes, the oil is flowing.
[00:29:07]  But remember, it moves at the speed of a bunch of bicycles.
[00:29:13]  So now it's January, and the oil is just finally breaching parts of Asia and Europe.
[00:29:18]  And we're into February before it hits the US, and then it hits refineries in South Korea that then sends it on down these pink lines to Australia and New Zealand.
[00:29:28]  So when the war starts and the oil stops flowing, there's actually still a ton out there taking its long, lazy little bike ride around the globe.
[00:29:36]  That's a big part of why things seem weirdly normal.
[00:29:39]  For most countries, the oil shutdown has not reached us yet.
[00:29:42]  We're still getting shipments that were sent out before the war started.
[00:29:45]  So, when do those shipments stop?
[00:29:47]  If you look at that map again, it says most deliveries to the US will stop around April 15th.
[00:29:52]  In Europe, they stop around April 10th.
[00:29:55]  Asia, April 1st, so it's just getting started.
[00:29:58]  But here in parts of Africa, there's March 20th.
[00:30:01]  We're already well into it.
[00:30:02]  And to be clear, these places aren't out of oil.
[00:30:04]  Every country has emergency stockpiles.
[00:30:06]  So, let's see what that looks like.
[00:30:08]  Gas lines are the first thing to show up, not enough fuel at the pump.
[00:30:11]  And these are already everywhere South Africa, Pakistan, Vietnam, a bunch of places.
[00:30:18]  In Laos, they ordered schools closed for one day a week so there'd be fewer people on the roads.
[00:30:22]  The Philippines and Ethiopia did the same thing for government offices.
[00:30:26]  And Sri Lanka is making everybody take every Wednesday off of work now.
[00:30:30]  There are also restaurant curfews, mass flight cancellations, air conditioning shutoffs.
[00:30:35]  It's not that these countries are running out of oil.
[00:30:37]  I mean, they are, but that's not the real issue exactly.
[00:30:41]  What do you think about this?
[00:30:42]  Sounds a lot like COVID to me.
[00:30:44]  You know how we're leaving all that behind, then we hear, oh, two weeks to stop the spread.
[00:30:48]  It sounds like two weeks for us to fix the oil market, you know, and it's been a lot longer than two weeks.
[00:30:53]  And that's the thing, I'm just thinking about this.
[00:30:54]  We got to do a full deep dive on it because it really is a crazy topic.
[00:30:58]  How many ships are there in a full like rotation, you know, like making the trip, going back, doing whatever?
[00:31:03]  I have doubts.
[00:31:04]  And what's the time it takes for each one of those ships to complete a rotation?
[00:31:07]  We should, I wrote that down.
[00:31:08]  We got to do it.
[00:31:09]  Yeah, we'll definitely cover that.
[00:31:10]  But if you catch what he said at the beginning, these oil tankers are not like speed boats, they're moving at the speed of a bicycle, like no more than like 15, 20, super tankers.
[00:31:21]  So, I mean, you're talking about months.
[00:31:24]  And so he's right.
[00:31:25]  Like, we just haven't felt the impact, and people aren't hitting panic because there's still oil that's still traveling.
[00:31:32]  Sure.
[00:31:32]  So, when I look at this whole thing, Rex, I'm thinking, okay, we need to get out of our ignorance in the bubble and realize that, you know, just because we're a little comfortable here at home, yes, does not mean that the rest of the world is not suffering.
[00:31:49]  And here's the thing everyone got behind the US dollar as the reserve currency and let us be at top because it was safe, right?
[00:31:56]  But they didn't expect.
[00:31:58]  For everything in their country to be dictated by an outside circumstance.
[00:32:02]  So, just let's take a hypothetical.
[00:32:04]  Imagine if the roles were reversed, right?
[00:32:07]  And suddenly people said, Oh, you're going to have extremely long gas lines here in America.
[00:32:13]  You're going to have schools shutting down.
[00:32:16]  You're not going to be able to fly to see your family this week because jets don't have enough fuel.
[00:32:20]  What do you think happens to the average person and what they're going to say?
[00:32:24]  Oh, it's just absolutely going to obliterate people.
[00:32:26]  And it's already obliterating people.
[00:32:28]  Let me tell you, I got a flat tire on my Toyota Tacoma.
[00:32:30]  And I'm like, okay.
[00:32:31]  I'm going to get it fixed today.
[00:32:33]  I'm going to get it towed, do whatever.
[00:32:34]  And I'm driving my granddad's F 150 around.
[00:32:37]  I can't afford to drive the F 150.
[00:32:39]  I can't afford to go to the gas station and fill it up.
[00:32:41]  Are you crazy?
[00:32:42]  It's like $130 to fill it up.
[00:32:44]  Okay.
[00:32:45]  And filling up my Tacoma now is like 60 to 70 bucks.
[00:32:47]  Yes.
[00:32:49]  That's the thing that matters to the people at home.
[00:32:51]  It doesn't matter to the people at home that we're on some sort of religious crusade.
[00:32:54]  It matters that they need to be able to afford to live.
[00:32:57]  Yes.
[00:32:58]  And here's the thing the things that you're seeing here.
[00:33:02]  Are only like 10% of the feelings that a lot of these other countries who were already struggling prior to this conflict have to deal with.
[00:33:10]  Right.
[00:33:11]  So now they already had struggling economies.
[00:33:13]  Like Europe is already, they have negative GDPs.
[00:33:18]  I mean, Greece, how many times did the IMF have to bail out Greece?
[00:33:23]  That's a good statistic.
[00:33:24]  I don't know.
[00:33:24]  Probably multiple.
[00:33:26]  It was multiple times, right?
[00:33:27]  Let's think about India for a second, because India is really getting slacked by this.
[00:33:32]  They were kind of getting.
[00:33:32]  Over on the Russians.
[00:33:33]  They're buying the cheap oil to get around sanctions.
[00:33:35]  They're paying like, I think, like $54 a barrel.
[00:33:38]  And then the other oil they're getting from the Straighter Hormuz, that goes away and they have to start buying it at a premium from Russia at over $100 a barrel.
[00:33:46]  Well, and here's the thing Russia, why wouldn't they do that?
[00:33:49]  I mean, they've been sanctioned for a very long time and they're like, we want our money back.
[00:33:54]  And it's also kind of revenge.
[00:33:55]  It is revenge.
[00:33:56]  The Indians had made a good deal beforehand.
[00:33:58]  It is revenge.
[00:33:59]  But even though we have the Iranian oil and we have the Russian oil and you have Oil reserves that are being released to the rest of the world, that only delays it.
[00:34:10]  Those aren't permanent fixes.
[00:34:12]  And so this shockwave is going to happen.
[00:34:14]  And this next one.
[00:34:16]  I know you got no idea.
[00:34:17]  Tim is such a liberal and he's racist as well because he doesn't know we have the strategic oil reserve.
[00:34:22]  All we got to do is let go of all our strategic reserves, then we'll be okay.
[00:34:26]  That's what Trump says.
[00:34:27]  Even if you let your reserves go, doesn't mean that you can actually keep it.
[00:34:32]  It's not a magic fix.
[00:34:33]  It is literally putting a bandaid over a bullet wound.
[00:34:36]  Absolutely.
[00:34:37]  Okay.
[00:34:37]  So now we look at clip two and we're going to start seeing these real impacts.
[00:34:41]  Let's go ahead and roll clip two because it's going to show you all of the things that you need to be concerned about.
[00:34:47]  The economic shocks caused by this war will be with us for months.
[00:34:51]  How we emerge from this crisis will define us for a generation.
[00:34:56]  Let me give you a few specifics that are already starting to manifest.
[00:35:00]  Airlines say they cannot afford to operate and are shutting down many of their flights, so it'll be harder to explore the world.
[00:35:06]  European governments are telling their citizens not to travel for vacation this summer.
[00:35:10]  There's just not enough fuel for it.
[00:35:11]  A number of factories are already closing worldwide, especially in Asia.
[00:35:14]  Semiconductor factories in particular are closing.
[00:35:17]  Both for lack of power and because semiconductors use helium, which is a byproduct of natural gas production, so is also going away.
[00:35:25]  Importers expect it to become prohibitively expensive to ship some things abroad, so we'll have fewer foreign goods, less off season produce, and we'll export less too, so fewer jobs.
[00:35:36]  Construction supplies like lumber are getting too expensive to harvest or import, which means fewer homes getting built, which means existing homes getting more expensive and harder to afford.
[00:35:46]  Many of the essential components to fertilizer.
[00:35:49]  Also, come through the Persian Gulf.
[00:35:50]  Things like phosphorus.
[00:35:51]  There are already fertilizer shortages in Asia.
[00:35:54]  So, yeah, there will also be less food in the world.
[00:35:56]  All of these things also contribute to inflation.
[00:35:59]  Prices go up, harder to afford things, our standard of living goes down.
[00:36:04]  And the thing is, even if the war ends today, this process, this demand destruction, is actually going to continue.
[00:36:09]  That's because American, Israeli, and Iranian missiles have left much of the region's energy infrastructure in ruins.
[00:36:16]  Things like refineries, gas terminals that will take years to rebuild.
[00:36:20]  Which means years before that oil and gas comes back online.
[00:36:23]  This winter is probably going to bring the first big wave of hardship.
[00:36:27]  Right now, spring and summer is a time of year when countries are usually stockpiling oil and gas so that they can get their people through the cold months.
[00:36:34]  But instead, those countries are burning their stockpiles down to zero.
[00:36:37]  That means December and January are likely to bring a whole new oil shock when a billion people across Europe, Asia, and North America go to turn on their winter stoves or heaters and find that there is not enough gas to go around.
[00:36:50]  That's right.
[00:36:51]  Do you see?
[00:36:52]  Do you see?
[00:36:53]  Like, we're doing these tactical decisions, knee jerk reactions.
[00:36:59]  And again, look at the months, the weeks, the years that pass by in which you have no clue.
[00:37:08]  We have no clue what the implications are going to be like.
[00:37:11]  And, well, we do have a clue as to what the implications are going to be like.
[00:37:14]  You know what happens during cold weather?
[00:37:16]  Cold weather tends to kill 10 times as many people as hot weather does, right?
[00:37:21]  So, the real danger, of course, is the winter and the energy supply.
[00:37:24]  Especially for these European countries, places like Germany, places like the UK, where you can barely afford, if at all, to heat your home when it's like sub zero temperature.
[00:37:33]  No, excellent point.
[00:37:34]  And, you know, I look at it and I'm like, this is insane.
[00:37:38]  You know, we look at how in the United States, oh, we've got enough oil here, Rex.
[00:37:45]  Right, so it doesn't matter.
[00:37:46]  It doesn't matter.
[00:37:47]  It doesn't matter, right?
[00:37:49]  But if you just look at the average person now, we destroy, I mean, just destroying the infrastructure alone.
[00:37:56]  Right.
[00:37:57]  Makes this a different equation than all the other shocks that we've ever had throughout history.
[00:38:02]  It makes it an energy war.
[00:38:03]  Yes.
[00:38:04]  And it means that they have a win condition.
[00:38:06]  This is what I often talk about.
[00:38:07]  It's not something where, like in Afghanistan, it's much people hiding in a cave that have a rocket launcher.
[00:38:12]  You try to kill them all or whatever.
[00:38:13]  That's not the situation we have at hand.
[00:38:15]  We're fighting a real military that is hell bent on achieving their one objective, which is to keep the straight close, period.
[00:38:21]  And it doesn't really matter how many of them you kill ultimately because there's a million of them and they all got the same goal.
[00:38:27]  Right.
[00:38:28]  I also want to give people a scenario because some people think, oh, it's just 20%.
[00:38:32]  It doesn't matter.
[00:38:33]  Right.
[00:38:34]  I'm going to give you a scenario.
[00:38:36]  We're going to look at five buckets here one, two, three, four, and five.
[00:38:40]  Okay.
[00:38:41]  One bucket is gone.
[00:38:42]  Now we only have four buckets.
[00:38:45]  Typically, with energy and with oil consumption, people are bidding.
[00:38:50]  So, if an entire bucket is gone, that means there are more people bidding on less supply.
[00:38:56]  The price of everything goes up.
[00:38:57]  Absolutely.
[00:38:58]  It's the price of everything going up, but then you also have speculative futures spending in which they proactively price in oil and what the supply will be at specific points.
[00:39:09]  So, the entire equation is all messed up right now.
[00:39:11]  So, you're telling me, Tim, that this is like a musical chairs.
[00:39:14]  Type of market, right?
[00:39:15]  This is a musical chairs type market.
[00:39:16]  We're like, oh, we're going to pull this chair away.
[00:39:18]  You can bet on which one we're going to do, though.
[00:39:20]  That sounds like that's.
[00:39:21]  And somebody is making a lot of money.
[00:39:23]  And do you trust these corporations, the ones that are actually controlling the oil prices as well as supply, to do the right thing?
[00:39:29]  Don't speak to your friends.
[00:39:30]  Do you think they're going to do the right thing?
[00:39:31]  Well, of course.
[00:39:32]  I mean, they care about people, right?
[00:39:33]  Corporations are people, too.
[00:39:34]  I think that would be their argument.
[00:39:36]  That would be the argument they'd use.
[00:39:38]  And there's zero chance, zero chance that they take the fall for any costs that come from this war.
[00:39:45]  They're going to say, we're going to subsidize this somehow, and it's going to come straight out of your pocket.
[00:39:51]  100%.
[00:39:52]  I want to go ahead and get into this story.
[00:39:54]  Ice arrest niece, grandniece of slain, notorious Iranian General Soleimani in Los Angeles.
[00:40:00]  Avshar, 47, entered the U.S. in 2015 on a tourist visa, was granted asylum in 2019, and secured a green card in 2021 from the Biden administration.
[00:40:09]  She's made at least four trips back to Iran since receiving her green card.
[00:40:13]  The Department of Homeland Security said, I think she can stay.
[00:40:16]  What do you think about it?
[00:40:17]  What do you think?
[00:40:17]  I think she can stay here.
[00:40:18]  I think she's good.
[00:40:19]  She's going to be in my house.
[00:40:21]  It'll all be okay.
[00:40:22]  Where is she being deported from?
[00:40:24]  She's being deported from California.
[00:40:25]  Oh, wow.
[00:40:27]  Her online persona was at odds with the Shia Islam, and then there she is on the bed and whatever.
[00:40:33]  But it's going to be okay.
[00:40:34]  We're just going to come over to Rex's house.
[00:40:37]  We're going to weather the storm together.
[00:40:38]  We're going to be all right.
[00:40:40]  Just want to let you know, but this is the type of thing that they're trying to do as a gotcha.
[00:40:43]  Like Rubio came out and made a statement about this, actually.
[00:40:46]  I don't think we have that queued up.
[00:40:48]  Busted in the land of Satan, I snabs Iran's big kin living in LA.
[00:40:53]  And I think the Iranians are saying that she's not the niece.
[00:40:56]  I'm pretty sure she is the niece.
[00:40:57]  So this is just a very interesting story.
[00:40:59]  You know, that propaganda goes back and forth.
[00:41:01]  She probably is.
[00:41:02]  She probably is.
[00:41:03]  You think she's happy to go back home?
[00:41:06]  Probably not.
[00:41:07]  Probably not.
[00:41:07]  She's not dressing like that.
[00:41:09]  No.
[00:41:09]  No shot.
[00:41:10]  She's dressing like that.
[00:41:11]  Let me see what the DHS said.
[00:41:13]  It is a privilege to be granted a green card to live in the United States of America.
[00:41:17]  If we have reason to believe a green card holder, Poses a threat to the U.S., the green card will be revoked, said Lauren, a DHS spokesperson.
[00:41:25]  The 47 year old was spotted by the Post Saturday outside her two bedroom, Tujunga area abode, hastily stuffing designer handbags from Louis Vuitton and Hermes into her.
[00:41:35]  Model three Tesla sedan, hours after her arrest was publicly announced.
[00:41:39]  And I guess there she is at the gun range.
[00:41:42]  She was in the car.
[00:41:44]  Do you know what these pictures make me think of?
[00:41:47]  I mean, an Hermes bag is like $20,000, $30,000, $40,000.
[00:41:52]  So she's living in the United States.
[00:41:54]  Where do you think she's getting the money for all this?
[00:41:55]  She's not working a nine to five.
[00:41:56]  That's a good question.
[00:41:58]  That's a good question.
[00:41:58]  So she is part of the family.
[00:42:00]  That means her family's funneling money, and the average Iranian is struggling.
[00:42:05]  I guess definitely to last.
[00:42:07]  Part.
[00:42:07]  Absolutely.
[00:42:08]  Yes.
[00:42:08]  Rubio says revokes green cards of foreign nationals with ties to Iranian terror regime.
[00:42:13]  Last night, the niece went away, but we get the point.
[00:42:16]  Rubio has announced that this is something they're going to do.
[00:42:18]  They're going to get her out of the country.
[00:42:20]  I want to go to this as well.

=== Roach Motel Drug Raids (03:53) ===

[00:42:22]  Inmate deaths linked to paper laced with toxic drug in Cook County jail.
[00:42:27]  When guards at Cook County Correctional Facility found 57 year old inmate Thomas Dixkin dead, slumped out over his cell's toilet in January 2023, investigators were left scratching their heads.
[00:42:38]  They couldn't figure it out.
[00:42:39]  There is no evidence of foul play or a fall that could have killed the prisoner.
[00:42:42]  The only thing out of the norm, tiny strips of singed paper littering around his cell.
[00:42:46]  I said, we need to test this and find out what's going on with it.
[00:42:49]  Cook County Sheriff's Office Chief of Staff Brad Curry recalled about that moment.
[00:42:52]  Eventually, a Virginia lab would confirm that the strips were soaked in a synthetic cannabinoid called Panaca, which proved lethal when Diskin smoked the paper before authorities could stop it.
[00:43:02]  Other inmates were dropping dead under eerily similar circumstances.
[00:43:05]  So this is not a new thing.
[00:43:07]  The use of the designer drugs on the paper.
[00:43:09]  But I want to play this clip that I have.
[00:43:11]  I'm not sure where it is on the rundown here.
[00:43:13]  It's a little error on my part.
[00:43:14]  I want to play clip number five Grady Judd drug paper because this is not a new problem.
[00:43:19]  They've been smoking Raid and Roach Motel in the prisons.
[00:43:22]  Wow.
[00:43:22]  Let's watch it.
[00:43:23]  Wow.
[00:43:25]  Interestingly enough, they spray it with a variety of things.
[00:43:30]  And some of the things that is most popular, and they really like this better than the K2.
[00:43:40]  Is Raid and Roach Motel.
[00:43:44]  Did you hear me?
[00:43:46]  They're spraying this stuff on paper and then either smoking it or eating it in the county jail.
[00:43:57]  Let me say that again, okay?
[00:43:59]  Because normal people can't understand this.
[00:44:03]  For example, the Roach Motel.
[00:44:05]  This is such a wonderful thing.
[00:44:08]  They'll put the Roach Motel in a plastic bag.
[00:44:12]  With paper, seal it up, shake it up, get the chemicals to acting, put it out in the heat so the chemicals react, and shake it.
[00:44:24]  And when the chemicals, who would think to do this?
[00:44:27]  When the chemicals were infused on the paper, then they eat it or smoke it.
[00:44:33]  Are you kidding me?
[00:44:36]  I mean, you know, why don't you, you know, like try, you know, cottage cheese or something on your paper?
[00:44:47]  Or they spray RAID, $4 a can.
[00:44:52]  Don't do advertisement.
[00:44:54]  On the paper.
[00:44:56]  We've received information from sources in the gel that said K2's cool, synthetic amphetamine's cool, but what we really like is the RAID.
[00:45:12]  It'll kill you.
[00:45:16]  It kills the roaches and criminals not too far away.
[00:45:21]  Okay, we're good.
[00:45:23]  Okay, it kills the roaches and the criminals aren't too far away.
[00:45:26]  The reason why we cover this is here's the thing your life could be a lot worse, right?
[00:45:30]  Our lives could be a lot worse.
[00:45:31]  It would be getting bombed somewhere, or it could be smoking Roach Motel.
[00:45:35]  Hey, that K2, I don't want none of that.
[00:45:37]  Hell no.
[00:45:37]  None of that.
[00:45:38]  Hell no.
[00:45:39]  Give me some of that raid.
[00:45:40]  That's right.
[00:45:40]  We want Roach Motel.
[00:45:42]  We want raid.
[00:45:42]  We'll accept nothing else.
[00:45:43]  That's kind of, you know, maybe Trump is smoking some Roach Motel.
[00:45:47]  You have to be very bored.
[00:45:48]  Or who even figures out that you could get high off of raid?
[00:45:52]  Well, what they are is like they're neurotoxins, and the death of neurons, the excitotoxicity, is actually what dopamine does as well.
[00:45:59]  So it makes you feel good to like destroy your brain.
[00:46:02]  Basically, at a higher level, that's what the explanation is there.
[00:46:05]  And they probably do they know they're going to die from taking this?
[00:46:08]  I don't think they care, you know?
[00:46:10]  Wow.
[00:46:10]  Raid is raid.
[00:46:11]  Raid is raid.
[00:46:12]  We cover that, and I want to go to one more thing before we close out this segment.

=== Trump Smoking Roach Motel (05:01) ===

[00:46:16]  Pope Leo, in his first Easter message, Pope Leo warns the world is becoming indifferent to violence.
[00:46:22]  Pope Leo warned Sunday that the world is becoming accustomed to violence in his Easter message from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, delivering a rallying cry against war and hatred to the tens of thousands as conflict rages in the Middle East.
[00:46:34]  In his first Ubi et Orbi to the City and the World address or message, the traditional apostolic blessing and message to the world, the American born Pope called upon humanity to abandon every desire for conflict, domination, and power, and said the world risks becoming indifferent to the deaths of thousands of people, and that hatred and division that conflict so.
[00:46:54]  Let those who have weapons lay them down, he said.
[00:46:56]  Let those who have power to unleash wars choose peace, not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue.
[00:47:02]  We cannot continue to be indifferent, he continued, and we cannot resign ourselves to evil.
[00:47:06]  I'm not a Roman Catholic, but I totally agree with this.
[00:47:08]  This is what we need to see.
[00:47:10]  This is a win.
[00:47:10]  This is a W.
[00:47:11]  I think everybody can support what the message he's saying, and he's saying this from a Christian back faith.
[00:47:17]  Sure.
[00:47:18]  Well, it's time for the people that call themselves religious leaders to really unite and condemn all this.
[00:47:22]  And this is why we're so disgusted to see.
[00:47:25]  Kind of the mega church behavior.
[00:47:27]  I see, I see a thousand dollar seed.
[00:47:29]  A thousand dollar seed.
[00:47:31]  You could get a blessing that lasts an entire year.
[00:47:34]  That's right.
[00:47:34]  Just for a small loan of a thousand dollars to the church, that's not even a loan because you owe the church the money.
[00:47:39]  Don't you see people in these Rolls Royces, these pastors?
[00:47:42]  Right.
[00:47:43]  Let's get that clip up.
[00:47:44]  Let's get the pastor in the Rolls Royce because this is what American Christianity has kind of turned into.
[00:47:49]  We got to go back to being traditional.
[00:47:53]  Find it in the rundown.
[00:47:54]  My bad.
[00:47:55]  That is going to be after that's that's going to be Pastor Rolls Royce.
[00:47:59]  Funny, it doesn't have a number, it's an hour two, segment three.
[00:48:02]  But we talk about this like we're joking, but it's real.
[00:48:05]  Like that Paula White lady, she's walking around doing like Kamehameha.
[00:48:09]  Oh, look at this.
[00:48:11]  Hey, that is calling it.
[00:48:14]  Do we got audio for this one?
[00:48:16]  Cullinans are expensive.
[00:48:18]  That's like a $300,000 to $400,000.
[00:48:20]  Well, you know, you got to pull up to the congregation.
[00:48:22]  You got to show the congregation what you got going on with what the seeds have germinated and grown into.
[00:48:26]  And they've grown into a Rolls Royce.
[00:48:28]  Rex, you know, the Lord told me about the stars.
[00:48:33]  But he wasn't talking about the stars in the sky.
[00:48:35]  He was talking about the stars in the roof.
[00:48:38]  I'm talking about the stars in the roof.
[00:48:41]  That is what Jesus told me.
[00:48:42]  And so you just see these people and he has the balls to show people.
[00:48:47]  A Rolls Royce, that's where your 10% went to.
[00:48:50]  Right.
[00:48:50]  And it's like you were talking about beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.
[00:48:53]  That's what these people are.
[00:48:54]  They come to you and they're acting like they're there to espouse some sort of positive spirituality, some connection to Jesus.
[00:49:00]  But what it really is, is the connection to their bank account.
[00:49:02]  Yes.
[00:49:02]  It's the connection to their bank account.
[00:49:04]  That video gives me Vietnam flashbacks.
[00:49:07]  Okay.
[00:49:07]  Because I grew up in a Baptist church.
[00:49:10]  Okay.
[00:49:10]  Talk about it.
[00:49:11]  We had a couple of pastors, and not to throw shade at them, but they did this exact same charade.
[00:49:18]  Right.
[00:49:18]  Our pastors.
[00:49:21]  I guess they got a brand new Cadillac.
[00:49:23]  It was like a $60,000 Cadillac at the time, which is super expensive.
[00:49:27]  They just pull it up to the church and everybody gets out and they're like, oh my God.
[00:49:32]  And even myself, I'm like, wow, that's amazing.
[00:49:35]  The Lord is doing real work there.
[00:49:37]  And then as I grow up, I'm like, wait, hold on.
[00:49:42]  Why did he need a brand new Cadillac?
[00:49:46]  Did it bring me any value?
[00:49:48]  That could have been a program to feed homeless people.
[00:49:50]  And not just that, the pastor was living literally.
[00:49:53]  A mansion on top of the hills.
[00:49:55]  Like their house was overlooking all of the city.
[00:50:00]  And I'm like, wait, hold on.
[00:50:03]  I was in that propaganda.
[00:50:05]  I have the house on the hill because it was promised to me.
[00:50:08]  It's just, it's wild that we live in the country where people like that, it's not just like some segment of society or whatever, they're in the White House.
[00:50:16]  Well, Jesus told me, I need to have the suede leather seats.
[00:50:21]  Yep.
[00:50:22]  Jesus told me, you don't need no floor pack.
[00:50:25]  You need top of the line, heated seats, cooled seats, moving chairs, electric windows, all of it.
[00:50:29]  Praise the Lord.
[00:50:31]  And we're not trying to make light of anything.
[00:50:33]  It's not, we're not degrading the real people.
[00:50:37]  We're not talking about the people that use God's information.
[00:50:40]  There are people who are scamming.
[00:50:42]  It is happening, and it's happening a lot of these communities.
[00:50:45]  I was in a community where this was happening in real time.
[00:50:49]  And Jesus doesn't care about Cadillac.
[00:50:50]  Jesus doesn't care.
[00:50:51]  He got a zero edge, zero gravity pool.
[00:50:53]  Jesus doesn't care about your McMansion.
[00:50:55]  Jesus cares about the little kids and the children you're supposed to have as a human, and also the children we're all supposed to keep alive are on the planet.
[00:51:02]  We're not supposed to bomb them and kill them.
[00:51:04]  But if these people, here's the thing if this guy's running around getting the $1,000 seed, but he's also against the war, go ahead.
[00:51:11]  Did you see this video?
[00:51:12]  And maybe we'll play it later.
[00:51:13]  We're coming up on the break.
[00:51:14]  But this lady had her last $1,200.

=== Pharmaceutical Shock Compounds Crisis (05:01) ===

[00:51:18]  Oh, no.
[00:51:19]  And she walks up, gives him the check of $1,200.
[00:51:22]  And he looks at this.
[00:51:22]  He's like, this ain't enough.
[00:51:24]  The Lord told me.
[00:51:27]  $2,000.
[00:51:27]  And she's like, Oh, I'm so sorry.
[00:51:29]  I'm so sorry.
[00:51:30]  No, have that to me by next week.
[00:51:32]  I don't want to hear anything about reparations.
[00:51:34]  Sounds like they're happening already with this guy.
[00:51:36]  We'll play the clip coming into the next segment.
[00:51:38]  Really appreciate y'all staying with us.
[00:51:40]  We're going to do a deep dive in the next hour.
[00:51:42]  And then we're having Gary Cardone on.
[00:51:44]  You don't want to miss it.
[00:51:45]  You want to stay with us.
[00:51:46]  Let me tell you right now thealexjonesstore.com.
[00:51:48]  If you're not taking Methylene Blue, if you're not taking Shilogy, if you're not taking CMOS, it's the place to get it right now.
[00:51:54]  Huge discounts, huge sales, huge offers.
[00:51:56]  Remember, subscribe and save.
[00:51:58]  Okay, you're going to take it again.
[00:51:59]  Methylene Blue has like an 80% reorder rate.
[00:52:02]  Try it, subscribe, and get it again.
[00:52:04]  Thank you so much.
[00:52:05]  Tim Tompkins, Rex Jones, about the fact of the powerful detox.
[00:52:08]  The fertilizer pharma shock is a compounding crisis
[00:52:39]  that ties energy choke points directly to crop yields and medicine supplies in a chain reaction Washington refuses to acknowledge.
[00:52:49]  And just think about this they have no navy, they have no military, they have no nothing.
[00:52:55]  They're losing.
[00:52:56]  They admit they're losing.
[00:52:57]  They're begging to make a deal.
[00:52:59]  Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz has halted roughly one third of global seaborne fertilizer trade and nearly half the world's urea.
[00:53:09]  The critical nitrogen source for crop growth.
[00:53:12]  The U.S. is a net exporter of fertilizer, but we have big fertilizer problems in the United States because remember, even if you're exporting it and the price has gone up.
[00:53:26]  So if you're from Iowa, where I'm from, you're paying a lot more for fertilizer this planting season, assuming you didn't buy it ahead of time, which, by the way, most of the farmers didn't.
[00:53:38]  They've been in a little bit of a tight squeeze.
[00:53:41]  Often they buy.
[00:53:42]  Inputs, seed and fertilizer, prior to a year in advance of planting.
[00:53:50]  Well, this year they didn't.
[00:53:53]  So they're buying it basically not forward, but buying it on the spot market.
[00:53:58]  Urea prices from the Middle East have surged from under $500 per metric ton to around $700 or higher, with overall fertilizer costs up more than 50% year over year.
[00:54:12]  Spring wheat planting could hit the lowest levels since 1970.
[00:54:16]  Setting the table on farmers is they were in bad shape prior to the war financially.
[00:54:23]  They were getting squeezed.
[00:54:25]  So, as a result, they didn't do what they often do, and that's buy their inputs forward, buy them a year in advance.
[00:54:34]  Wow.
[00:54:34]  So, they did that.
[00:54:36]  They did that even before the crisis we're facing right now.
[00:54:40]  Yes.
[00:54:40]  Russia has suspended ammonium nitrate exports.
[00:54:44]  China has restricted key blends to protect domestic prices.
[00:54:48]  And India faces gas shortages threatening its urea output.
[00:54:52]  With 318 million people already in acute hunger, analysts warn another 45 million could slide into crisis if disruptions last beyond June.
[00:55:04]  Layer on the pharmaceutical strike, Iranian missiles hit Israel's Niyat Hovav industrial zone.
[00:55:11]  Home to Tiva Pharmaceutical, the world's largest generic drug maker, and Adama Chemical Facilities.
[00:55:19]  Tiva supplies affordable generics for cancer, heart, respiratory, and neurological treatments, relied on by hospitals worldwide, especially in third world nations.
[00:55:30]  Pre existing shortages were already severe.
[00:55:33]  Prices will rise, access will tighten, and chronic patients could face rationing or expensive switches in the months ahead.
[00:55:41]  Iran's closure stranded Qatar's Northfield output, 33% of global helium.
[00:55:46]  That also left 200 cryogenic helium containers at risk of total boil off within weeks.
[00:55:53]  No helium means no chips for AI GPUs or data centers, while India's 70,000 MRI machines and semiconductor memory supplies face immediate pressure.
[00:56:05]  Jet fuel has at least doubled in the U.S., with airlines warning of dry inventories, cancellations, and rerouting, while diesel tightness grips Australia and South Korea, prompting Wartime economic measures.

=== Helium Shortage Halts AI Chips (14:57) ===

[00:56:19]  Changju, what is the South Korean government doing to address all of these problems?
[00:56:23]  They've launched a full scale emergency economic response involving the offices of the president, the prime minister, and more.
[00:56:33]  They're also looking to pass a war supplementary budget, and they're urging the public to conserve energy.
[00:56:40]  The just in time global system that was built on cheap energy, fragile choke points, and the illusion of endless efficiency.
[00:56:48]  Has had its table flipped over.
[00:56:50]  Stock what you reasonably can, demand real domestic resilience over globalist fantasies, and build tolerance for uncomfortable truths that are imminent.
[00:57:00]  John Bound reporting for InfoWars.
[00:57:26]  We got the Duncan Burger, the thousand year mortgage, and now we got Jesus taking the wheel.
[00:57:31]  I need him to take the wheel of that $300,000 colon, and yes, I do.
[00:57:35]  The AI is scary because that's the first time I've actually seen it look like me.
[00:57:40]  Maybe me like 10 or 20 years older, but that one actually looks like me.
[00:57:44]  So that's crazy.
[00:57:45]  Let's get into the deep dive because we were talking about this a little bit earlier on last week.
[00:57:49]  Actually, I was on the solo show.
[00:57:51]  These data centers.
[00:57:52]  What's going on?
[00:57:53]  So today's deep dive, I wanted to look into.
[00:57:56]  These data centers because it is something that doesn't get enough coverage.
[00:58:01]  Right.
[00:58:01]  And I wanted to talk about all the things that you don't see behind the scenes.
[00:58:05]  We're going to look at what it looks like inside of one.
[00:58:08]  We're going to look at what it costs to actually run these.
[00:58:11]  We're going to look at the actual impact to you at home.
[00:58:15]  And that is the main thing here because information is everything.
[00:58:19]  And there's a real possibility that this gets out of hand and that the grid cannot handle all these changes all at once.
[00:58:26]  So, All right, we're gonna start off at the top here and uh let's let's pull up that picture of the house near the data center.
[00:58:32]  This look, look at this photo here.
[00:58:34]  You want to live there, guys?
[00:58:35]  I don't want this.
[00:58:36]  Is a real photo.
[00:58:37]  I thought it was AI at first, but most people experience AI through a screen, uh, you know, a chat bot, maybe a search bar, maybe a writing tool, maybe like a feature inside of an app they already use, but they don't see the physical system behind that.
[00:58:52]  And this is part of that physical system, right?
[00:58:54]  Okay, a large industrial building right next to the normal neighborhood, like you're seeing here.
[00:59:00]  And so, you know, using AI feels digital, but the building is a very physical and big project.
[00:59:07]  And it takes land, it takes power, it takes cooling, it takes backup systems and a lot of infrastructure.
[00:59:15]  And the impact doesn't stay inside of the tech world for very long.
[00:59:18]  It starts trickling out into the rest of society.
[00:59:22]  And so, if we pull up number two here, let's pull up the picture of this like heat map of where all the data centers are because it is shocking.
[00:59:31]  So, if you take a look, At the top right corner, you're going to see this giant bubble of data centers that exist in Virginia and kind of West Virginia in that area.
[00:59:44]  There is a reason why that's happening.
[00:59:46]  And so a lot of this build out is happening in Northern Virginia for practical reasons.
[00:59:50]  So this region had a lot of strong fiber connections, reliable power, major customers nearby, open land, and they also had tax advantages that allowed them to get like bids.
[01:00:02]  And then you also look at the fact that once it happened, The region became even more attractive because the next builders, the people who wanted to be close to the existing networks and existing infrastructure and existing customers, that's why they started flocking there.
[01:00:16]  So, this county, Loudoun County alone, already has 200 data centers built or approved around it.
[01:00:25]  Can you believe that?
[01:00:26]  I can, but I mean, I don't want to live there.
[01:00:29]  I can't imagine what that's like.
[01:00:30]  Why can't we just put all of them in the panhandle?
[01:00:33]  That is the question here.
[01:00:34]  And we're going to talk about it because it's about the resources and locality, but also they're building them everywhere.
[01:00:40]  If you don't think that this is something that's secluded, if we can pull that mat back up, you think it's not going to hit you.
[01:00:47]  But unless you're like in the middle of nowhere.
[01:00:49]  New England is huge.
[01:00:50]  New England is crazy.
[01:00:51]  New England is crazy.
[01:00:52]  I'm sorry if you're in the East Coast right now.
[01:00:54]  Florida is starting to build out.
[01:00:55]  Here in Texas, we're starting to see them in Austin.
[01:00:58]  Dallas has a big cluster of them.
[01:01:00]  Yeah, look up north.
[01:01:01]  Yep.
[01:01:02]  It's pretty crazy.
[01:01:03]  Pretty crazy and that's uh, the the northeast is where you have the largest concentration of population or density of population with no data center.
[01:01:10]  I don't, I don't think there is no.
[01:01:12]  You've got like Wyoming and Idaho and and Dakota they've got a little bit uh, but like even north Dakota and south Dakota have them.
[01:01:21]  So there's, there's nowhere you can hide in the machine.
[01:01:24]  It's nowhere you can hide.
[01:01:26]  So what happened here is now we have the spreading into the other communities in the state and before getting the bill uh, into the bill of like what it looks like when it hits your pocket, we've got to look at what these buildings actually do.
[01:01:38]  So let's look at this video that shows us what the inside of a data center looks like.
[01:01:42]  It was very hard for these people to get this video because most of the companies, like AI, Meta, they're secret.
[01:01:49]  They were like, we can't allow you in this building.
[01:01:52]  So they went into this smaller one that I think was in Wyoming that allowed them to see it.
[01:01:57]  And this is only like 10% of the size of some of these bigger ones.
[01:02:01]  So let's go ahead and roll the clip.
[01:02:04]  Hey, Gordon.
[01:02:05]  Welcome to Wanabe.
[01:02:06]  Come on in, I'll show you a tour.
[01:02:08]  This 35,000 square foot data center is tiny.
[01:02:11]  Compared to the largest ones in the US, those can stretch to well over a million square feet.
[01:02:17]  Lunavi offers cloud services to customers like betting apps, mapping companies, insurance, and healthcare businesses.
[01:02:25]  Zoom out, and you can see that the location is no accident.
[01:02:29]  Cheyenne, the capital of Wyoming, sits on an east west internet superhighway.
[01:02:33]  The city is also well connected to renewable energy generated by these wind farms.
[01:02:38]  Wyoming is only a small player compared to Virginia.
[01:02:41]  And to attract more, the state is offering generous tax breaks to encourage the big tech giants, like Microsoft.
[01:02:48]  This large data center began emerging from the map south of Cheyenne in 2021, and this is a site belonging to Meta, just over the road.
[01:02:58]  You're currently within the critical infrastructure space of Data Center 2, designed to have 800 cabinets roughly at full capacity on that side.
[01:03:08]  So, we take the air from the above ceiling grid, we feed it down through the computers, they heat the air up, comes back out the back and up through the chimney above ceiling, and then just continually circulates the air on that perspective.
[01:03:21]  Lunavi has the space to scale up to the more energy hungry GPU processors used to train AI algorithms.
[01:03:30]  So, this big white space is future computing.
[01:03:33]  The cabinets in this facility now have a capacity of something like 5 to 10 kW.
[01:03:40]  If they want to build The ones that are going to do AI with graphic processing units, GPUs, that'll go up to something like 70 to 100 kW.
[01:03:48]  GPUs do need more power, but they can complete more tasks than a regular processing chip and in less time.
[01:03:55]  The lower ambient temperatures in the high plains of Wyoming mean data centers use less energy and water to cool themselves.
[01:04:02]  Lunavi say they use around 500,000 gallons of water a month when at full capacity.
[01:04:08]  That's roughly the amount of water used by 200 people.
[01:04:11]  Okay, so, I mean, look.
[01:04:13]  It sounds small, but again, this is a small data center.
[01:04:18]  You got a town and they build other towns around it made out of computers.
[01:04:22]  That's what it looks like to me because we got that map of the city there.
[01:04:24]  You got Meta and then you got, I think it was Microsoft, was it not?
[01:04:28]  And it's just if you combine those two places, they built this as big as the town.
[01:04:32]  Well, and you're asking why these data centers need to be around the civilian population and why they can't just be in the middle of nowhere.
[01:04:38]  It's because they rely on the same resources that we use as the common.
[01:04:42]  Would that be the fiber optic cable?
[01:04:44]  It's fiber optic, but then it's also water.
[01:04:48]  The source of water, and often we build towns and cities around bigger volumes of water.
[01:04:55]  Sure.
[01:04:55]  And then also the electricity grid itself.
[01:04:57]  Sure.
[01:04:58]  So the power grid.
[01:04:59]  It looked like that one specific place in Wyoming was just a textbook for what you want for the data center.
[01:05:04]  Yeah.
[01:05:05]  And so then you got to look at it.
[01:05:07]  We've always had data centers, and your email, your cloud storage, your photos, and your streaming have already depended on that physical building, but the AI takes it to another level.
[01:05:17]  Okay.
[01:05:18]  So he talked about like that 10 to 50 kilowatts.
[01:05:21]  And then he said, well, with AI, you would need 70 to 105 or 100 kilowatts.
[01:05:27]  And that makes a very big difference in the amount of power demand.
[01:05:30]  And so you're the engineer.
[01:05:32]  I'm not.
[01:05:32]  So get into it.
[01:05:33]  No, I mean, I'm not going to bore people with the specifics of that.
[01:05:39]  It's just, again, more power.
[01:05:41]  You have to get that power from somewhere.
[01:05:43]  So you have to take it from the existing power grid in order to run that.
[01:05:47]  And that's just a small center.
[01:05:49]  He's just talking about this small little plant that's like, I mean, I think he said 50,000 square feet, which is a lot.
[01:05:55]  But you're talking about a million.
[01:05:56]  But you're talking about, yeah, compared to a million, there are people that are building massive ones that you couldn't even fathom how big they are.
[01:06:02]  You know what I was thinking about as I'm watching that video?
[01:06:04]  I'm thinking about how well paid the HVAC technicians are that have to maintain the air conditioning system.
[01:06:10]  Those are the real jobs of the future.
[01:06:11]  That is.
[01:06:12]  No, that is good.
[01:06:13]  You're right.
[01:06:14]  There's a lot of things that go into there that are secondary that we don't think about that they're also making money from this.
[01:06:19]  Right.
[01:06:19]  And it's out of necessity.
[01:06:21]  It's not like the HVAC company was like, ooh, I want data centers all over.
[01:06:25]  They get to benefit as a byproduct.
[01:06:27]  One person can send an email firing people for HR.
[01:06:30]  Another person can maintain the board computer system that's running the world.
[01:06:33]  Look what's going to get phased out.
[01:06:34]  Look what's coming and getting phased out.
[01:06:36]  Well, and what the difference between the normal internet and AI is your internet already uses computing power, but the AI uses something that's more demanding.
[01:06:45]  And so they're training these large models on higher volumes of data.
[01:06:48]  And those data models run constantly for millions of users because millions of users are querying every single second of the day.
[01:06:56]  And OpenAI has like a billion or two users daily.
[01:07:00]  That's not even counting the rest of the industry.
[01:07:02]  Well, I can go ask a question about season five of SpongeBob and burn five liters of water, you know, and everyone else can as well.
[01:07:08]  And we talk about it a lot, just the contributory effect of just the global marketplace of everyone using these things.
[01:07:13]  Yes, yes.
[01:07:14]  And so, you know, the other thing is between 2021 and 2024, the number of data centers have already doubled.
[01:07:22]  So in 2025, the industry expected to spend about 475,000.
[01:07:27]  Billion dollars more on data centers.
[01:07:29]  And you remember, Trump gave them $500 billion in Project Stargate.
[01:07:33]  Pretty much one of the first things he did in office, he basically said, I'm going to be the AI president.
[01:07:38]  So he's ushering all this in.
[01:07:39]  And so, what this means is you're going to see data centers popping up left and right, left and right, left and right, and they're going to hit a city near you.
[01:07:48]  I mean, we're not that far.
[01:07:49]  We're in a very dense, populated area.
[01:07:51]  You're going to start seeing data centers trickled throughout.
[01:07:55]  You know how you see big spot plots of empty land?
[01:07:57]  He's building one in Bastrop right now.
[01:07:59]  Elon Musk, he's building the data center up in Bassett.
[01:08:01]  For Grok, right?
[01:08:02]  Yep, I believe so.
[01:08:04]  So now, once much of the demand has hit the grid, the cost doesn't just stay inside of the company and just whatever is causing it.
[01:08:14]  It actually starts showing up in most places that people don't think about.
[01:08:18]  And so the main place is here on the electric bill.
[01:08:21]  Wow.
[01:08:21]  Okay.
[01:08:22]  What you need to pay attention to, and I encourage every single person to go pull up, is something that you just get an electronic bill sent to you and not everybody's looking at it.
[01:08:32]  Well, you should start taking a look at it because the first sign that people are looking at is this delivery charge.
[01:08:39]  Okay.
[01:08:40]  So the delivery charge is the cost of the electricity itself and the cost of moving it to you and maintaining the systems around it.
[01:08:49]  So there was a utility model that we built here in the United States where it's over like 100 years old.
[01:08:55]  It was basically we were going to socialize the cost and spread the cost across an entire area for the utilities and the infrastructure it took to supply the power to people's houses because we couldn't get around it.
[01:09:07]  So, you know, this works better when the growth is kind of like shared and it's kind of slow, but there is a small number of these giant corporations who need an extreme amount of data in order to run it.
[01:09:22]  And they're not paying their fair share, even though they're causing most of the demand.
[01:09:26]  Most of the demand is actually flatlined for people.
[01:09:29]  We're not consuming significantly more energy.
[01:09:31]  And this is what they say.
[01:09:32]  They say they want to have it run on a meter, right?
[01:09:35]  Just like electricity, just like water.
[01:09:37]  They want to run intelligence on a meter, but they want all of us to publicly subsidize their ability to use millions of times the computing power versus what we would use already just in average everyday life.
[01:09:47]  Yes.
[01:09:48]  So remember, if you didn't notice, you're like, whoa, why is my.
[01:09:54]  My electricity bill going up, take a look at your delivery cost.
[01:09:58]  Those are where the hidden fees are getting put into.
[01:10:01]  Okay.
[01:10:01]  That is important.
[01:10:02]  It costs us more to deliver the energy.
[01:10:04]  It costs us more to deliver the energy, but it's a broad statement.
[01:10:07]  It is a broad statement.
[01:10:08]  Okay.
[01:10:08]  It's the cost to deliver the electricity and maintain the delivery infrastructure.
[01:10:13]  And if you need more delivery infrastructure, you got to pay for it.
[01:10:17]  You got to pay for it.
[01:10:18]  Wow.
[01:10:18]  You see the equation here?
[01:10:19]  Ain't that a raw deal for the American people?
[01:10:22]  They're literally just saying, screw you.
[01:10:24]  Like that's pretty much what it is right there in your electric bill.
[01:10:26]  And so, a perfect example of this, we have a company called PJM, which covers 13 states and about 65 million people.
[01:10:34]  And so, the last major capacity auction saw prices jump 800%.
[01:10:40]  And the capacity auction is like how much you're paying for the capacity of the grid.
[01:10:45]  And according to the material, the data centers drove 63% of that increase in that 800%.
[01:10:52]  It wasn't even the people, it was the company that's meeting that demand.
[01:10:57]  This brings us to the point of, you know, these other companies are structuring deals like Meta, Google, Amazon.
[01:11:05]  They're structuring the deals to where they're only paying for a percentage of the infrastructure that they need.
[01:11:11]  Right.
[01:11:12]  They're structuring deals behind the American people's back.
[01:11:15]  And this video is going to show it perfectly.

=== Data Centers Behind Public Back (15:37) ===

[01:11:17]  Let's play number five of what Meta has been doing behind Americans' backs.
[01:11:24]  One recent example is happening right now in Louisiana with a data center being developed by Meta.
[01:11:30]  Last year, a utility company in Louisiana proposed to spend $3 billion on a new power plant to meet electricity demand from a Meta data center.
[01:11:39]  The full terms of its deal with Meta are secret, but redacted regulatory filings have revealed that the public is on the hook for Meta's power plant.
[01:11:48]  Meta has signed a 15 year deal, and it only obligates them to pay for about half of that $3 to $4 billion of infrastructure, which means that there's a big risk that Everyone else in Louisiana will get stuck with the rest of that bill.
[01:12:02]  I believe deeply in building personal superintelligence for everyone.
[01:12:05]  Pause it.
[01:12:06]  Meta, we have the reason.
[01:12:08]  Ain't that a face you can trust?
[01:12:09]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:12:10]  Go back to the photo of him.
[01:12:11]  Yes, yes.
[01:12:12]  Does this look like a face that you can trust, like Rex?
[01:12:15]  Would you trust him to babysit your data for you?
[01:12:17]  You think he's going to keep it all safe?
[01:12:19]  Oh, no, Rex.
[01:12:20]  He cares about people.
[01:12:21]  You see Elon get pushed out.
[01:12:23]  You see Zuck get brought in.
[01:12:25]  Ain't that something?
[01:12:26]  This is the new face.
[01:12:27]  This is the new face of capitalism here.
[01:12:29]  The lizard man.
[01:12:30]  Go ahead and play the rest of it.
[01:12:32]  Sources to build the massive infrastructure required and the ability to deliver new technology to billions of people.
[01:12:38]  Meta saw an opportunity negotiate a massive data center deal without the public having any input.
[01:12:46]  And to this day, there is still massive amounts of detail about that Meta AI complex that the people of Louisiana have no information about.
[01:12:57]  In Virginia, the utility company Dominion Energy has proposed to build six new power plants to meet data center demand.
[01:13:05]  The first at a cost of $4.5 billion.
[01:13:08]  According to one estimate, only 30% of that will be paid for by the customer class that includes data centers.
[01:13:14]  At Dominion Energy, we know power is personal.
[01:13:17]  Residential customers will pay about half the cost, despite the fact that residential demand for electricity has flatlined.
[01:13:25]  Dominion projects that average residential electric bills will more than double to $315 a month in the next 15 years, primarily due to data centers.
[01:13:35]  Oh, and here's the thing that's like an underestimation.
[01:13:38]  Right.
[01:13:39]  Because you're not taking into all the other things that are happening, not just with the power plants, but also the inflation.
[01:13:46]  Sure.
[01:13:47]  All of those things stack up.
[01:13:48]  So you're.
[01:13:49]  Well, the American people are being nickeled and dimed to death.
[01:13:52]  You're absolutely being, you know, just penny pinched into destitution.
[01:13:55]  And this is not.
[01:13:56]  Fair for anybody.
[01:13:57]  And it's like we just said, they want to run these things on a meter.
[01:13:59]  They want to make you pay so they can use thousands, if not millions of times the intelligence that you're able to.
[01:14:05]  Well, and the biggest problem here is, you know, they're making these deals behind closed doors.
[01:14:11]  It's not like they're doing it at the town hall where people get to speak on it and understand what's happening.
[01:14:16]  You don't get to say.
[01:14:17]  It's a private negotiation in which if you try to get information or access to the documentation, it's all redacted like the Epstein files.
[01:14:25]  Oh, well, it's Epstein's friends anyway.
[01:14:28]  It's all a big club, right?
[01:14:29]  Yeah.
[01:14:30]  And so, what they want to do is they want to hide the true cost.
[01:14:32]  They want to hide the true impact that happens to you at home.
[01:14:36]  And you're just supposed to silently take it.
[01:14:39]  Right.
[01:14:39]  And that's what happens a lot in our system here in America.
[01:14:43]  The big corporation has all the money in the world to do the lobbying, to do the negotiations, to make the best deal happen.
[01:14:50]  And they don't take the average person that lives in that area in mind.
[01:14:54]  They don't care.
[01:14:55]  They just care that you're using their resource, which you're already paying for it, by the way.
[01:15:00]  Sure.
[01:15:00]  You're paying for the things that Meta has created.
[01:15:03]  Just from the subscriptions and the things that you buy off of Instagram and TikTok and all that stuff.
[01:15:08]  And then you get an extra tax on your internet bill.
[01:15:12]  Yeah.
[01:15:13]  It's just the most beautiful thing I've seen.
[01:15:16]  Their argument to it is jobs, jobs, jobs.
[01:15:18]  We're creating jobs.
[01:15:19]  People have to build it.
[01:15:20]  People have to work there.
[01:15:21]  We're stimulating the economy.
[01:15:23]  Well, you're building jobs for foreign people, building jobs for people that are coming from out of state.
[01:15:27]  You're building jobs that are temporary, ultimately, and the cost is forever.
[01:15:30]  Yes.
[01:15:31]  The cost does not go away.
[01:15:32]  It's like inflation.
[01:15:33]  You hit the nail on the head.
[01:15:35]  Temporary because when you build something, you're not building it forever.
[01:15:39]  Once the building is done, it's done, and those guys are moving on to a new project.
[01:15:44]  Second thing is, you have AI coming into the equation where it's able to maintain a lot of the things and the jobs that you would expect there to be.
[01:15:52]  So people are already getting replaced in the job market, and you only need a handful of people, or not a handful, but like let's say a few hundred or so, to maintain some of these data centers with all the new technology and the systems that they have in place.
[01:16:08]  But the thing that is the biggest slap in the face is these AI companies and tech companies have been sitting on a boatload of cash.
[01:16:18]  I'm talking billions of dollars when they sold their shares back in 2023 when the stock market was at all time highs and the S&P 500, they were silently taking cash off the table from their stocks when they were artificially pulling them up.
[01:16:32]  So let's take a look at this.
[01:16:33]  You've got Microsoft, which is about, they've got $95 billion approximately.
[01:16:39]  Apple, is that 48 billion?
[01:16:41]  Is that what that says?
[01:16:42]  Yeah, I believe so.
[01:16:44]  And then you've got Meta, who's got about $70 billion of cash.
[01:16:48]  Google at $125 billion and BH at $340 billion.
[01:16:53]  Amazon is at $95 billion as well.
[01:16:56]  Wow.
[01:16:56]  So you look at these numbers and they said, oh, it should cost like around $4.5 billion to build something, right?
[01:17:05]  And they're only paying 50% when you're sitting on all this cash.
[01:17:09]  Does it make sense?
[01:17:11]  Whereas you, as the average American, is already struggling to put food on your table and they want you to put up the other 50%.
[01:17:18]  Oh, don't mind us.
[01:17:20]  We're just going to slip this extra $100 a month on your bill without you realizing it.
[01:17:24]  They'll call you a liberal socialist if you want any sort of governmental or congressional or just citizen oversight over any or all of this entire process.
[01:17:33]  They'll say that you're a socialist, that you don't support capitalism.
[01:17:36]  We're a free market.
[01:17:37]  This is not a free market.
[01:17:38]  No one else can compete in this market.
[01:17:40]  This is a market.
[01:17:41]  No kids at this table.
[01:17:42]  Yes.
[01:17:42]  That's what they say.
[01:17:43]  And then if you just want to understand a case study, K shaped economy, look no further than these situations.
[01:17:50]  Okay.
[01:17:50]  It really is the have nots and the have yachts.
[01:17:53]  Yeah.
[01:17:53]  You often say that, and it's often very, very true.
[01:17:56]  I mean, these people, they live on a different planet, live on a different world.
[01:17:59]  I'm just reminded of Theo Vaughn going on Joe Rogan and having this existential moment of like everything's so bad, run by evil people.
[01:18:04]  What are we going to do about this?
[01:18:06]  And Rogan, who's a billionaire, is like, you just need to come hang out with me and my friends.
[01:18:10]  Okay.
[01:18:10]  Well, I'm sure it's great for you.
[01:18:12]  I'm sure it's great for people that make millions of dollars doing comedy, people that make millions of dollars doing business, whatever.
[01:18:18]  The average American that's not able to benefit from.
[01:18:20]  From these various Ponzi schemes is dying in the street.
[01:18:23]  They are dying in the street.
[01:18:24]  And I mean, Meta, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are planning on spending $220 billion alone in 2025.
[01:18:33]  And they can't even pay their fair share.
[01:18:35]  Right.
[01:18:35]  And they get also tax incentives and tax breaks for building these data centers.
[01:18:40]  Yeah, you don't get a tax center for building the house.
[01:18:42]  Oh, no, we forget about that.
[01:18:44]  Nope.
[01:18:44]  Not at all.
[01:18:45]  For data center, absolutely.
[01:18:47]  Come on in.
[01:18:48]  That's right.
[01:18:48]  And here's the thing the people who are in positions of power, They are trying to say, well, we've got your best interest in mind, but they're also bringing more money into the city budget.
[01:18:59]  But then it's like, well, what are you spending that money on, too?
[01:19:02]  It almost comes to the idea that the country isn't the GDP.
[01:19:06]  The country isn't the gross domestic product.
[01:19:08]  The country is the people and how the people are doing.
[01:19:10]  And the people are not doing great.
[01:19:11]  And the Dow at 50,000, Pam Bondi.
[01:19:14]  The SP 500.
[01:19:14]  Oh, yes.
[01:19:15]  Oh, yes.
[01:19:16]  We hear about all this, but when do we hear about benefits coming to us at home?
[01:19:19]  We get more pesticides.
[01:19:20]  We get more data centers.
[01:19:22]  We get more scams.
[01:19:22]  And we get fake dividends.
[01:19:24]  That's right.
[01:19:25]  I'm waiting for my 2K.
[01:19:27]  I'm also waiting for my Doge dividend.
[01:19:29]  What happened to that?
[01:19:29]  Waiting for the Doge dividend, waiting for COVID payments.
[01:19:32]  Now we're waiting for the new $2,000 tariff dividend.
[01:19:34]  It's all going to work out magically because leadership says so.
[01:19:37]  We don't think so.
[01:19:38]  We're here to cover the real news.
[01:19:39]  We're going to be back with a deep dive here in a few seconds.
[01:19:42]  Go to thealexjonesstore.com for all your favorite vitamins, minerals, supplements, shirts, apparel, and various products.
[01:19:48]  Thealexjonesstore.com is the place to be.
[01:19:50]  It's where you want to be.
[01:19:52]  We're going to be right back after this break.
[01:20:03]  Jones, Tim Tompkins, we're powering through our day as we hope you're powering through yours, whether you're getting a cup of coffee, walking the dog, going to the gym, or going to work.
[01:20:11]  We're honored that you choose to spend this time here with us.
[01:20:14]  We're going to continue the deep dive now.
[01:20:15]  Your thoughts?
[01:20:16]  Yeah, so a lot of the things that I was talking about earlier on the segment had to do with the physical infrastructure, the costs that are coming in terms of a monetary standpoint, but then we got to look at the physical aspects and what it's having impact on people's physical health.
[01:20:33]  Right, right.
[01:20:33]  There are marriages.
[01:20:34]  That are already living, you may be one of these people that are living near a data center.
[01:20:38]  I'd actually be curious to DM me on X and tell me if you live near a data center.
[01:20:43]  Take calls.
[01:20:44]  Honestly, that is a good idea.
[01:20:46]  If you live near a data center at the bottom of the last hour, we would like to hear from you.
[01:20:52]  Okay.
[01:20:53]  If you are a caller, if you're listening, we would love to hear from somebody who lives near a data center and tell us about what's going on.
[01:21:00]  We definitely have people that are in more rural areas that are around maybe those sneaky ones being built.
[01:21:06]  So if you're in an area like Louisiana, if you're in an area like the south and they're building one, not a lot of people are talking about it.
[01:21:11]  We do want to hear from you.
[01:21:12]  Go ahead, excellent point there.
[01:21:14]  Okay, so we're going to look at this one lady who talks about the data center noises.
[01:21:18]  And for people living near these facilities, the issue is much more direct.
[01:21:23]  And so, yeah, it's like a whoa, whoa, whoa.
[01:21:27]  Sometimes, depending on like the time of year, sometimes the frequency changes.
[01:21:31]  And these people can, they're like a few hundred yards away and they can hear all the sound that's coming out of this.
[01:21:37]  So let's go ahead and roll this video of somebody.
[01:21:39]  Who has been dealing with these data centers popping up in her neighborhood?
[01:21:45]  Donna Gallant has lived on this street in Prince William County, Northern Virginia, for the last 30 years.
[01:21:52]  All very peaceful until 2021, when things started to change.
[01:21:57]  These are Google data centers.
[01:21:59]  And ever since they started rising from the ground, Donna has been looking for answers.
[01:22:04]  There's no transparency.
[01:22:05]  And when.
[01:22:06]  Data centers into companies or with local authorities?
[01:22:08]  Both.
[01:22:09]  So anytime you ask a question, it's, oh, we signed an NDA, we can't talk about it.
[01:22:14]  Oh, we're under NDA, we can't talk about it.
[01:22:16]  So there's no transparency at all.
[01:22:19]  The site isn't complete yet, but she says the noise is already taking its toll.
[01:22:26]  When I go to my room at night, the tonal noise immediately triggered my anxiety to the point where I couldn't sleep.
[01:22:33]  I ended up having to go down on my first floor and put noise-canceling headphones on just so I could sleep.
[01:22:43]  What do you think about that, Rex?
[01:22:44]  It sounds like a complainer to me.
[01:22:45]  Sounds like that woman's complaining.
[01:22:47]  You are ungrateful.
[01:22:47]  You got to be grateful for the data center, all right?
[01:22:49]  Don't you know the new golden age is being ushered in right now?
[01:22:52]  Why your baby can't sleep?
[01:22:53]  Why does that matter?
[01:22:54]  Yeah, why does that matter, Rex?
[01:22:56]  Well, it matters because if you just look at it, when you go to buy your house and you try to get the American dream, they didn't say in the fine print that you would have a data center that doesn't allow you to enjoy that American dream.
[01:23:08]  Life, liberty, happiness, and the pursuit of a data center.
[01:23:12]  That's the new rewriting.
[01:23:14]  That's the new writing of the Constitution.
[01:23:16]  That's a very good point there.
[01:23:17]  And so, I mean, look, you know, it's not just like a tiny sound, it's a constant sound.
[01:23:24]  And it's people are getting the lofts of sleep, and the neighborhood starts changing around you.
[01:23:29]  And I mean, a lot of people have seen development, but like the normal development, like this.
[01:23:33]  Yeah, not like this.
[01:23:34]  You would expect, oh, there's new houses around, and it's causing.
[01:23:37]  This is a very big issue for these people.
[01:23:40]  Sure.
[01:23:41]  Well, think about it.
[01:23:41]  So they're going to build 2,000 square foot houses, they're going to build 100 of them.
[01:23:45]  Let's call that like.
[01:23:47]  Housing development or whatnot.
[01:23:48]  That's 200,000 square feet.
[01:23:50]  We look at the data centers over more than a million square feet.
[01:23:53]  So just look at that project as an example.
[01:23:55]  And that ain't residential homes being built.
[01:23:57]  And what you're seeing is okay, so you know how sometimes you might have like your house in a cul de sac and there'll be some surrounding neighborhoods?
[01:24:04]  Sure.
[01:24:04]  And then often behind your backyard, there's like a ton of just like forest and land.
[01:24:09]  Yeah.
[01:24:09]  No more of that.
[01:24:10]  Well, often what happens is that land is zoned and it's zoned for more residential building.
[01:24:16]  So that they can build more people, people want to live on earth, yeah.
[01:24:20]  So they can build more houses, right?
[01:24:21]  And so you'll see these giant plots of land that used to be residential, and they're converting those into uh commercial plots of land for people to build data centers now, and that's being done at the city level.
[01:24:34]  Wow, and that's easy when you have the lobbying and you have the money and you can incentivize the city and say this will be good for you.
[01:24:41]  You know, you know what I'm thinking about here?
[01:24:43]  This is all kind of like a retreat to the suburbs, really, Tim, because you look at the collapse of.
[01:24:47]  Commercial real estate inside of these cities, right?
[01:24:50]  We have these empty office buildings that no one wants to be in, and these people are over leveraged.
[01:24:54]  A lot of foreign people own these buildings.
[01:24:56]  They go into bankruptcy, whatnot.
[01:24:57]  But you look at someone like Elon and how he's really treated Austin, sure, he's already got the Tesla factory way out there, but now away from the city, over in that area that's still close enough to be connected to the infrastructure, the power lines, and all of it, that's where they're choosing to strategically build these things, much like that Wyoming town that we saw.
[01:25:14]  Excellent point.
[01:25:15]  And then Northern Virginia is getting the worst of this.
[01:25:18]  Like we said, they have the highest density on that map.
[01:25:21]  And so you just see Prince William County already has more than 70 data centers.
[01:25:26]  And in some places, land that has been planned for that housing is being rezoned.
[01:25:31]  And then it's just more projects keep getting proposed and more buildings keep getting pushed closer to homes.
[01:25:37]  And so that cloud infrastructure is not what people want to hear.
[01:25:40]  The cloud.
[01:25:41]  There is no cloud.
[01:25:42]  It's just somebody else's computer.
[01:25:43]  The cloud.
[01:25:44]  Hate to spoil it for you.
[01:25:45]  It's this mystical, magical thing.
[01:25:47]  But then you also get hit with all of the economic things that happen.
[01:25:51]  So.
[01:25:52]  It's not just that that people are, that it's not just showing up.
[01:25:55]  There are water and environmental things that these AI data centers are doing besides the sound.
[01:26:00]  And so it's showing up in the physical water, not just the water bill.
[01:26:04]  That's right.
[01:26:04]  So let's go ahead and play this clip of the impact of the water supply.
[01:26:07]  This lady has to deal with this.
[01:26:09]  Go ahead and roll that clip.
[01:26:12]  This is my cold water pressure in the kitchen.
[01:26:19]  This is where I fill up water for storage.
[01:26:22]  Those are the things we have to fill up to flush the toilets.
[01:26:25]  So you can see the sediment from the data center.
[01:26:29]  Wow, and that's just from the water coming out of your faucet.
[01:26:32]  Yeah.
[01:26:33]  And this is what's in all the pipes.
[01:26:36]  Just the well itself is probably 20,000, and that's not counting any of the other things.
[01:26:41]  All the replacement of the fixtures and faucets and toilets and the lines that come underneath the house.
[01:26:47]  Wow.
[01:26:47]  It's overwhelming because you really feel like you are up against.

=== Water Pressure from Data Hubs (08:22) ===

[01:26:54]  This huge wall that you can't penetrate.
[01:26:59]  There's nothing that you can do, and they don't care.
[01:27:06]  That hit me.
[01:27:07]  I mean, too.
[01:27:08]  Doesn't sound like we have much of a voice.
[01:27:09]  You know, it doesn't seem like they have much of a decision.
[01:27:11]  You don't have any water pressure.
[01:27:13]  You got sediment in your water.
[01:27:14]  Just suck it up and deal with it.
[01:27:16]  You know, Tim, have you ever lived in a place where you can't drink the water?
[01:27:19]  Never.
[01:27:20]  All right.
[01:27:20]  So I spent a little over a year out in East Texas living in a house with non potable water.
[01:27:25]  And let me tell you, when you're living off of using like, uh, Water bottle or like a gallon jug to like shower or brush your teeth or do any of these things.
[01:27:33]  It's not a fun way to live, okay?
[01:27:35]  And it's a lifestyle, unfortunately, that a lot of these people are having to adopt.
[01:27:38]  You look at the infrastructure, instead of putting in water resources for these people that live out in the boonies or whatever, like I have, not dissing anybody, instead, they're going to funnel all the resources to these massive companies and then you get screwed even worse.
[01:27:51]  Well, and not just that, they're not providing any like subsidies for you to buy all that bottled water.
[01:27:57]  Right.
[01:27:57]  First of all, it's going to be cheaper.
[01:27:59]  For you to run a faucet or drink out of tap than it ever will be to buy these giant gallons of jugs just to wash yourself with.
[01:28:08]  That's the equation that's not adding up here.
[01:28:11]  They want to punish you, not give you potable water, have these data centers.
[01:28:15]  You're going to start having Flint, Michigan's all over the United States, is what it sounds like.
[01:28:19]  It's just going to be the US.
[01:28:20]  That's the new standard, and don't complain about it.
[01:28:22]  Yeah, don't complain about it.
[01:28:23]  But then again, no one's providing you like a monthly stipend to be able to drink water.
[01:28:30]  Or be able to bathe yourself in, which are just bare minimum essentials that we demand here in America, that it's not too much to ask for.
[01:28:38]  But then, no, no, no, Rex, we're going to ask for $200 billion.
[01:28:41]  That's right.
[01:28:42]  We're going to ask for $200 billion and we're going to go overseas, throw Tomahawk missiles, close the strait, make all your gas prices go up, and we can't even get people the water and the help that they need back at home.
[01:28:55]  That pisses me off.
[01:28:57]  It pisses me off too.
[01:28:58]  It's completely outrageous.
[01:28:59]  I'm right there with you in your energy.
[01:29:00]  I mean, just listen to this.
[01:29:01]  More than 43% of the largest track data centers are in areas of high or extreme water stress.
[01:29:07]  You can't make this stuff up.
[01:29:09]  It's as bad as it could be designed to be that way to hurt you.
[01:29:14]  Like, it's not a mistake.
[01:29:15]  It's not a mistake.
[01:29:16]  It's too much to not be a mistake.
[01:29:18]  They want to lower the standard of living here, make the people into slaves, make the people accept there's no quality of life.
[01:29:23]  There's no liberty in the U.S. You're just an economic unit.
[01:29:27]  All that matters, the Dow goes up, GDP goes up.
[01:29:29]  Who cares?
[01:29:30]  Not my president, Trump.
[01:29:31]  That's right.
[01:29:32]  Not my Trump.
[01:29:32]  Not my Trump.
[01:29:34]  I'll drink this water.
[01:29:36]  I'll drink this water till I die.
[01:29:37]  I don't care if my diesel goes up $500 a gallon.
[01:29:41]  Yep.
[01:29:41]  So, it's just complete brainwash.
[01:29:44]  But here's the situation now.
[01:29:46]  You know, the broader vision, the.
[01:29:48]  The broader version is playing out in these dry parts of the country where data centers are competing with huge amounts of water.
[01:29:56]  Then you've got one Microsoft cluster in Arizona that's planned for about 1.83 billion gallons of water a year.
[01:30:06]  Do you know how much that's enough for the amount of people?
[01:30:10]  61,000.
[01:30:10]  61,000 people is the equivalency of what they want to do every single year just to run this Microsoft.
[01:30:16]  And so then you've got more than 43% of the largest track. data centers are in areas with high or extreme stress like you were talking about.
[01:30:24]  Wow.
[01:30:24]  And so this is not only a question of how much electricity these facilities use, but it's also a question of what resources they draw on, where they're being built and what happens.
[01:30:34]  Now, I'm not sitting here.
[01:30:35]  There's people who are going to make the counter argument here, Rex, right?
[01:30:38]  They're going to be like, well, you use AI every single day.
[01:30:41]  You use all of these systems that we have in place.
[01:30:44]  Why are you complaining?
[01:30:45]  It's not about the infrastructure.
[01:30:47]  It's about location of where it's being built and the fact that we are not coming up with creative ways.
[01:30:53]  These should be like parked super far away from any residential areas.
[01:30:58]  That's the difference.
[01:30:59]  Everything is with the God of money in mind and not for the American people.
[01:31:03]  Here's the thing we talk about it with every sector of the economy that we criticize.
[01:31:08]  We got to live in a world where these huge companies actually have to pay their fair share and it's not passed on to you, the American citizen, because it would be one thing if all these things were being implemented, not even in a benevolent way, just a benign way, right?
[01:31:20]  In a way designed not to hurt people.
[01:31:22]  Yeah.
[01:31:22]  And you would think with Meta sitting on that much cash and they only have to pay 50% of the cost to build that infrastructure.
[01:31:28]  Well, at least pay more money to have at least the lines go further away from the people so that there's like, if you've got it like, okay, one of the arguments they're probably like, oh, well, we need to be close so that way we can connect into these main lines and all these things.
[01:31:42]  No, I want you to build the infrastructure that it takes to have that 100 miles away, maybe 50 miles away where you're not going to feel that impact.
[01:31:51]  Right.
[01:31:51]  And so there's all different solutions.
[01:31:53]  We can come, we have the brightest minds in the entire world here in America.
[01:31:57]  And you're telling me we can build alien space technology that doesn't allow you to show up on a radar, but we can't figure out how to get water to these AI data plants without making Americans suffer?
[01:32:09]  Right.
[01:32:10]  Well, let's examine this a little bit further.
[01:32:12]  Because keep in mind, Tim, they never actually have to pay even to build these things.
[01:32:15]  They either get a loan off their capital or they get a loan from the government, right?
[01:32:19]  So it's just, oh, we're a oodles, oodles, billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollar company.
[01:32:24]  We can do whatever we want.
[01:32:26]  Money isn't real to us.
[01:32:27]  And if the money isn't real to you, why wouldn't you just go out of your way to make things better for the people and make them like what you're doing?
[01:32:33]  They don't care and it's beyond not caring.
[01:32:35]  They want to hurt you and your family.
[01:32:37]  And so, I mean, what communities are giving up?
[01:32:40]  I mean, these projects are usually sold as economic development and jobs and investment and growth and tax base.
[01:32:47]  And, you know, some of that is real, but the full trade off is rarely presented clearly.
[01:32:51]  And the communities can give up that land.
[01:32:54]  I mean, the communities.
[01:32:55]  Can give up that land, but they might have that could have gone for other uses.
[01:32:59]  So you can take the noise, uh, they can take on the visual change and the strain on utilities, but then they're also giving up tax revenue through tax incentive in the packages that are going to look generous and give those to the AI companies.
[01:33:12]  When are they going to give you a tax dividend to have a kid?
[01:33:15]  Yeah, you know, when are they actually going to help you out?
[01:33:17]  Oh, oh, oh, we'll give that to you, but only if your family's destroyed, if you're a low income single mother.
[01:33:22]  You see how all these programs that we get that are designed to benefit us actually hurt us, and in the programs that these companies get, they benefit them to the moon.
[01:33:28]  Well, here's the best.
[01:33:29]  Part, I mean, out of the 37 states that offer incentive programs for data centers, Virginia alone gave projects nearly a billion dollars in tax savings in one fiscal year.
[01:33:42]  A billion dollars.
[01:33:45]  Wow.
[01:33:46]  And not a single drop.
[01:33:47]  We're not getting tax incentives as just the regular person, right?
[01:33:51]  So, where is this all headed?
[01:33:53]  That's the real question here.
[01:33:55]  And so, you know, if the current incentives stay in place, it doesn't level off quietly.
[01:33:59]  It's just going to get bigger.
[01:34:01]  Sure.
[01:34:01]  And so, you're going to see more electricity demand.
[01:34:03]  You're going to see more pressure for utilities around the building of that demand.
[01:34:07]  And then there's also fights over who pays for the transmissions and the substations and the new generations for that power.
[01:34:15]  And then more neighborhoods get plugged.
[01:34:17]  Push closer to these industrial facilities.
[01:34:19]  You get more strain on water and dry regions.
[01:34:22]  You get more pressure on local officials to approve these projects in the name of AI growth competition and all of these different things.
[01:34:31]  And so, data centers currently use about 4% of the US's electricity, and this could rise sharply over the next few years.
[01:34:42]  One estimate says that household electricity rates could rise as far as 70% if the system does not change.
[01:34:49]  Wow.
[01:34:50]  That's a very big increase.
[01:34:52]  And I am sorry at home if you are somebody who is already struggling to pay your electricity bill, if you are already struggling with the things that we've talked about, about the housing and the water and all the strains that you are putting on on a day to day basis.
[01:35:06]  There is a single mom, there is a household that is struggling that is actively going through this.
[01:35:12]  Now, I am at the end of my deep dive, but I do want to hear from you guys back at home.

=== Electricity Rates Skyrocket 70% (11:29) ===

[01:35:17]  If you are somebody who lives near a data center, if you are someone who experiences this in life, I want you to call that number after the segment, after we have Gary on.
[01:35:27]  It's going to be 1 877 789 2539.
[01:35:32]  I want to hear from you guys.
[01:35:34]  Nice.
[01:35:34]  We're going to hear from you.
[01:35:35]  We're going to do that.
[01:35:36]  We're going to do that.
[01:35:36]  We really want to hear from people.
[01:35:37]  If you're in a rural area and they're trying to be sneaky and force one of these things on you, we want you to call in, tell us about it, tell us about the construction, how long it's taking, if it's affecting you and your water, your power, all of it.
[01:35:47]  Because here's the thing they're trying to make us pay a new grid tax.
[01:35:51]  They're trying to say to use the same grid these AI data centers use.
[01:35:54]  You got to, you got to, you got to.
[01:35:55]  Pay for the transfer of that energy, you got to pay for the increased infrastructure, they should be the ones paying for it.
[01:36:01]  It's black and white.
[01:36:02]  That cost shouldn't be passed on to you, that cost should be passed on to them, but they're cost adverse, you see.
[01:36:07]  And I actually know the people in the government.
[01:36:09]  I want to go to this Gunther Eagleman meme tweet now that we're done with the deep dive.
[01:36:14]  And I want to make things clear for you, Tim, because maybe you don't understand.
[01:36:17]  Maybe you don't understand what's going on.
[01:36:19]  I want to go to Gunther Eagleman meme tweet.
[01:36:21]  And we're really going to find out what's going on.
[01:36:23]  That's Dear Iran, I'm not Obama.
[01:36:26]  Okay, and we can do overhead shot as well.
[01:36:29]  Dear Iran, I'm not Obama.
[01:36:31]  Dear leader, President Trump.
[01:36:33]  I mean, this is what AI has come to.
[01:36:36]  You know, you get the AI memes, but then you get the AI to also power your kids.
[01:36:42]  Well, look at that.
[01:36:43]  You know, that burns the water.
[01:36:45]  You got to pay for the electricity to make that as well.
[01:36:48]  And it's your dear leader giving you a message Dear Ron, I'm not Obama.
[01:36:52]  And then, like, a boomer sees that.
[01:36:54]  Is that his caption?
[01:36:56]  They chose to learn the hard way.
[01:36:57]  No, it's not.
[01:36:58]  That's Gunther's caption.
[01:36:59]  Yeah.
[01:37:00]  Oh, Lord.
[01:37:00]  I mean, let's just go to Gunther Eagleman right now.
[01:37:03]  Let's just take a look at.
[01:37:04]  The selection of a few of the tweets.
[01:37:06]  Oh, well, I mean, I just see the American flag.
[01:37:08]  I see the hat.
[01:37:09]  He's MAGA through and through, right?
[01:37:11]  Yeah.
[01:37:11]  Oh, I'm sorry.
[01:37:12]  I read his description.
[01:37:12]  He's MIGA.
[01:37:13]  Okay.
[01:37:13]  He's M I G A. He's Make Israel Great Again.
[01:37:15]  F O F A. F A F O.
[01:37:18]  Yes, it's all violence videos.
[01:37:21]  It's all disturbing.
[01:37:22]  It's all outrage and shock porn.
[01:37:24]  Like that's what these people traffic in.
[01:37:27]  Breaking.
[01:37:27]  Even CNN's Harry Inton admits Republicans now lead Democrats by five points in net favorability this midterm cycle.
[01:37:35]  In 2018, Democrats were up 12.
[01:37:36]  In 2006, they were up 18.
[01:37:38]  TDS plague Democrats are badly behind where they need to be to flip the Senate.
[01:37:43]  Trump's winning.
[01:37:43]  Oh, you remember what the conversation was about keeping the House?
[01:37:46]  See how that's gone out the window completely?
[01:37:48]  And oftentimes, I think it was someone great.
[01:37:52]  They had this phenomenal quote, and it's like, why do you have so many mainstream media subscriptions?
[01:37:56]  He goes, well, I want to see what slips through the cracks.
[01:37:59]  So we see over time the propaganda and the messaging getting weaker and weaker because it has to by necessity.
[01:38:04]  Well, also, I just want to think about something as well.
[01:38:07]  I was talking about this with a friend the other day.
[01:38:09]  I said, Do you know how perfect Trump could have had it at the beginning?
[01:38:13]  He had everybody on his side, including the people in the middle, were on his side.
[01:38:19]  He won all those swing states, right?
[01:38:22]  So not only does he have the House, not only does he have the Senate, but he survived an assassination attempt.
[01:38:30]  Yes.
[01:38:30]  Okay.
[01:38:30]  You put all of those together, perfect trifecta.
[01:38:34]  That man could have passed any bill to change society, and it would have had the same level of just like going through the House.
[01:38:42]  Passing as we did in 9 11 when we went to war.
[01:38:45]  This is what we're talking about, Tim, about the concept of political capital, and you have to be very judicious with how you're going to spend that political capital.
[01:38:52]  Trump has spent his political capital on the war.
[01:38:55]  And the reason why you still see people supporting all this is because of the narrative that you just laid out.
[01:38:59]  It really is a hero's journey, Odysseus, returning home to Ithaca level thing, where you have this mythical champion of the American people who wins all these battles, and it turns out that he's mythical.
[01:39:11]  From Gunther Eagleman, what are the odds Trump drops another epic F?
[01:39:14]  F bomb post in the next 24 hours responding to Cat Turd saying, I want meaner Iran tweets today with Trump with more F bombs.
[01:39:23]  This is our economy.
[01:39:24]  That's what the Dow runs off of.
[01:39:26]  These guys are doing tricks on it.
[01:39:28]  It's really crazy.
[01:39:28]  They're doing tricks on it.
[01:39:29]  They're doing backflips, somersaults, the ninth degree black belt level backshots.
[01:39:34]  Okay, okay.
[01:39:36]  All right, we're having fun.
[01:39:37]  Let's go ahead and get into clip number four because I want to pay some homage to the real OG, the guy who kind of really, besides Pat Buchanan, started it all.
[01:39:45]  Ron Paul, I want to play clip number four.
[01:39:47]  Ron Paul booed 12 years ago for wanting no war with Iran.
[01:39:52]  Rivals here make a passionate case.
[01:39:54]  All three of them make a passionate case that this is a vital U.S. national security interest.
[01:39:59]  But you disagree.
[01:40:01]  I disagree because we don't know if they have a weapon.
[01:40:05]  Matter of fact, there's no evidence that they have it.
[01:40:08]  There is no evidence.
[01:40:10]  Israel claims they do not have it, and our government doesn't.
[01:40:13]  I don't want them to get a weapon.
[01:40:14]  But I think what we're doing is encouraging them to have a weapon because they feel threatened.
[01:40:20]  If you look at a map of Iran, we have 45 bases around their country, plus our submarines.
[01:40:25]  The Iranians can't possibly attack anybody.
[01:40:29]  And we're worrying about the possibility of one nuclear weapon.
[01:40:33]  Now, just think about the Cold War.
[01:40:36]  The Soviets had 30,000 of them.
[01:40:38]  And we talked to them.
[01:40:40]  The Soviets killed 100 million people and the Chinese.
[01:40:44]  And we worked our way out of it.
[01:40:46]  And if you want to worry about nuclear weapons, worry about the nuclear weapons that were left over from the Soviet Union.
[01:40:52]  They're still floating around.
[01:40:53]  They don't have them all.
[01:40:54]  Positive, if you would.
[01:40:55]  And look at these orangutans.
[01:40:57]  Go ahead and pull it back up.
[01:40:58]  Look at these orangutans, like these literal bonobo monkeys that they have surrounding him.
[01:41:02]  Is that Romney?
[01:41:04]  Is that Rick Perry or Romney?
[01:41:05]  It looks like Romney.
[01:41:06]  Okay, that is Romney.
[01:41:07]  That's Romney on the right, and God knows who the guy in the middle is.
[01:41:10]  But you see how back then it's the same narrative as it is now, where they're laughing at you.
[01:41:16]  If you say, hey, actually, we talked to the Soviets when they had 30,000 nuclear warheads, why can't we do negotiation with them?
[01:41:22]  Right.
[01:41:23]  So this is it's CNN.
[01:41:24]  CNNN is still left wing.
[01:41:26]  That's Nick Santorum in the middle.
[01:41:27]  Nick Santorum in the middle.
[01:41:29]  Okay, so these people who are booing in the crowd would probably be on the left.
[01:41:33]  True?
[01:41:33]  No, no.
[01:41:34]  Well, it's a CNN town hall, but it's a Republican debate.
[01:41:37]  Ah, I see.
[01:41:38]  I see.
[01:41:38]  So this is the neocon spirit.
[01:41:41]  Not my president.
[01:41:42]  That's right.
[01:41:43]  That's right.
[01:41:43]  And you look at Romney, and maybe we can go back to that giving him the side eye glance, giving him the stare like this guy has three eyes.
[01:41:49]  No, Mitt Romney, you're on the moon.
[01:41:53]  You're so far away from Earth that you're completely on the moon.
[01:41:57]  And everything he said is true.
[01:41:59]  But you see the brainwashing?
[01:42:00]  They're like, Doing this genjitsu, and they're like, You're in a trance, you're in a trance.
[01:42:04]  And then you look at it, right?
[01:42:06]  And they're making it seem like what he's saying is absolutely insane.
[01:42:11]  Like, how dare you say these logical, sensical points and positions that you have?
[01:42:16]  Let's get that photo back up.
[01:42:17]  Let's look at that exchange of the two people.
[01:42:19]  We don't have to play it.
[01:42:20]  You look at Romney giving him the side eye there.
[01:42:23]  One of these figures, Ron Paul, a legendary libertarian, conservative American figure, legendary political candidate.
[01:42:29]  His thoughts and ideologies will have ripple effects for centuries to come, and he'll always be hailed as a great hero.
[01:42:35]  And then you have Mitt Romney.
[01:42:37]  Mitt Romney, a multiple time failed presidential candidate, just a random guy from Utah, just completely corporate, completely bought out.
[01:42:44]  He has no soul to speak of.
[01:42:46]  And Ron Paul does have a soul.
[01:42:48]  So when we look at these events 20, 30, 40 years into the future, it's all going to be very, very clear who the villain was and who the hero was.
[01:42:55]  And the hero was always the person calling for peace.
[01:42:58]  Yeah.
[01:42:58]  Period.
[01:42:59]  And this was a long time ago, too.
[01:43:01]  And we forget about this.
[01:43:02]  It's again, it's like going back in loops and we just forget about the history.
[01:43:07]  We forget about the history.
[01:43:08]  And we've been talking about. this for decades now.
[01:43:11]  Right.
[01:43:11]  You know, if you think about it.
[01:43:13]  So at this point, now we just got into the inflection point where we didn't hear the warning signs before.
[01:43:17]  Yes.
[01:43:18]  So are we going to listen now?
[01:43:21]  Are we ready to wake up?
[01:43:23]  Is Congress and all these neocons ready to wake up?
[01:43:25]  Are we going to get into a worse situation here, Rex?
[01:43:27]  Well, you know, Owen Schroeder often says that if logic can't be applied equally, then it should be considered to be propaganda.
[01:43:34]  And, you know, if we're going to apply the facts equally, well, you know, they didn't develop a nuclear weapon back then.
[01:43:38]  So are they going to develop one now?
[01:43:40]  Well, maybe, but probability leans towards no.
[01:43:42]  Even no matter how hard you say they're going to have one, they want to kill us all, they want to kill us all, they're going to have one.
[01:43:47]  It's been talked about for 35 years.
[01:43:49]  And ultimately, there wasn't an immediate justification to enter the war.
[01:43:52]  We played the clip of Rubio many times.
[01:43:54]  Israel does initial attack.
[01:43:56]  We have to join Israel in the initial attack because we're afraid they're going to kill American soldiers.
[01:44:00]  Of course, the goal of the initial attack was to knock out leadership and have regime change.
[01:44:04]  Spoiler alert, that didn't work.
[01:44:06]  Now we got Trump up there at the Easter bunny, kind of just like Joe Biden.
[01:44:09]  We're going to be right back with Gary Cardone.
[01:44:11]  It's going to be a phenomenal interview.
[01:44:13]  Thank you so much for being here with us.
[01:44:15]  A powerful broadcast.
[01:44:17]  Follow Gray Area Talks on X. Go ahead and do it.
[01:44:29]  This is the first time we're gonna send humans to the moon and we're gonna have humans in low Earth orbit.
[01:44:32]  That is awesome.
[01:44:33]  I was talking to someone very close to Elon Musk.
[01:44:38]  And this is in the first Trump administration.
[01:44:41]  And they said, no, they're really gonna launch the Mars mission from the dark side of the moon.
[01:44:46]  So it can't be looked at by a lot of our enemies, but also it's a better launch point.
[01:44:50]  And also it's protecting the crafted facilities from solar radiation.
[01:44:56]  And they've already got 3D printers up there, they've already got a base up there for the secret space program.
[01:45:01]  And that when Trump wins re election, they're going to announce it and do it.
[01:45:07]  You notice Musk suddenly said, now we're not launching from the earth, we're launching from the dark side of the moon a month ago.
[01:45:13]  Exactly.
[01:45:13]  And well, that's six, seven years ahead.
[01:45:15]  That's the kind of intel.
[01:45:17]  This is part of the problem, which is we're getting the intel much, much later.
[01:45:20]  And there's this gap in times.
[01:45:22]  And we talk about things like the release of the UFO file.
[01:45:25]  This is scheduled.
[01:45:26]  Eight brilliant minds, each one inching closer to unlocking zero point energy, plasma fusion that could render fossil fuels.
[01:45:34]  Fuels obsolete or the anti gravity secrets allegedly reverse engineered from crashed non human craft have met mysterious ends or vanished without a trace.
[01:45:46]  Their deaths and disappearances clustering in recent months amid rising whispers of massive revelations.
[01:45:54]  I've been 100% serious, I've been briefed by just about every alphabet agency there is.
[01:46:00]  And I'll just tell you this if they would release the things that I've seen.
[01:46:06]  You would stay up, you'd be up at night worrying about or thinking about this stuff.
[01:46:11]  This country would have come unglued, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard.
[01:46:17]  They would demand answers.
[01:46:19]  And they knew we need to.
[01:46:20]  But, you know, it's never going to get.
[01:46:23]  And fortunately, it just keeps getting covered up and covered up.
[01:46:26]  And the people that know are dying or disappearing, as the case may be.
[01:46:30]  Wow.
[01:46:31]  And for the record, I'm not suicidal and I don't take risks.
[01:46:35]  This is why Congress is working hard for whistleblower protections because.
[01:46:40]  We want people to feel safe to come out and have a conversation.
[01:46:43]  And right now, they don't feel overly safe.

=== Covering Up Classified Secrets (02:36) ===

[01:46:46]  They've seen some of the tactics and techniques that were applied to try to keep people quiet in the past.
[01:46:52]  Let me say this in general terms.
[01:46:54]  People say, oh, well, the government would never kill anybody to protect a secret.
[01:46:58]  Try going to Area 51 and look at the signs on that chain link fence where it says lethal force authorized.
[01:47:05]  You cross that fence, and they can kill you dead.
[01:47:08]  Okay?
[01:47:09]  So the government can, under certain extreme cases, under certain extreme circumstances, situations and conditions, they can do whatever they need to do to protect national security, and they will.
[01:47:19]  But I was standing behind an alien in a spacecraft, just a small one.
[01:47:25]  Okay, I asked you a question, and he said, okay.
[01:47:30]  And I said, how do you get from here to Alpha Centauri?
[01:47:36]  We can't do that.
[01:47:37]  The only thing that we think about is I have to go really fast for a really long time.
[01:47:45]  Can you use what information I have in my head and try to explain it to me?
[01:47:51]  And he said, well, do you know what a Rubik's Cube is?
[01:47:54]  And I said, oh yeah, my son can do them in two minutes.
[01:47:57]  He says, okay, so imagine a Rubik's Cube, but not necessarily just the six sides.
[01:48:04]  Just imagine the concept of a Rubik's Cube.
[01:48:06]  And I said, okay.
[01:48:07]  Now imagine on each one of the tiles on the Rubik's Cube has a chart of the elements.
[01:48:17]  And he says, so what you do to get up to Alpha Centauri is you just twist the cube.
[01:48:25]  And I said, What do you mean?
[01:48:29]  He said, Well, I told you you wouldn't understand.
[01:48:32]  And he said, When the periodic table occurs in a different place, you're at that place.
[01:48:41]  And that's just a very crude explanation.
[01:48:45]  But you have to stop thinking about go that way for a long time very fast.
[01:48:52]  Describe the very first time you were teleported.
[01:48:55]  It's scary in a way.
[01:48:57]  I mean, you know, you don't really know, okay, is this evil?
[01:49:00]  Is this good?
[01:49:01]  What is this?
[01:49:02]  You know, what do I do with this?
[01:49:04]  How do I deal with it?
[01:49:05]  I was on the phone.
[01:49:06]  Oh, my God, what's happening?
[01:49:08]  And I was landed and landed about 40 miles away in a ditch outside of a Baptist church in a little tiny town just where you cross it.

=== Teleportation Scary and Unknown (15:00) ===

[01:49:23]  Welcome back to the show.
[01:49:24]  We're going to conclude things this morning with a phenomenal interview.
[01:49:27]  Joining us now is Gary Cardone, an entrepreneur and investor with a background in energy, fintech, payments, and crypto.
[01:49:34]  He's built tons of businesses across several industries and is known for various work in digital assets and blockchain.
[01:49:40]  Welcome to the show.
[01:49:41]  How are you doing today?
[01:49:43]  Hey, good morning, guys.
[01:49:44]  Good to be here.
[01:49:44]  Happy Easter.
[01:49:46]  Glad you made it onto the show.
[01:49:47]  This is something that we really wanted to make happen.
[01:49:50]  So, pleasure for you to take time out of your day.
[01:49:53]  Before we get started, I kind of want to just go through your background, some of the things, who you are.
[01:49:59]  A lot of people probably know you for your brother, as well as the only things that you've done.
[01:50:04]  I don't want to make this about Grant.
[01:50:06]  I want to make this about you.
[01:50:07]  And so we know you're related to Grant Cardone and everything like that, but you've got your own story to tell.
[01:50:13]  And let's focus on that.
[01:50:15]  So just tell us about like your childhood, maybe some of just the background of like how you got to where you are today, because you are wildly successful.
[01:50:22]  What makes you you?
[01:50:23]  We want to know that.
[01:50:25]  Well, look, I grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana in an energy refining town.
[01:50:30]  I have an economics and marketing background.
[01:50:33]  My brother, my twin, he's Grant's my twin brother.
[01:50:36]  So we're identical twins.
[01:50:38]  We both took very, very different paths in life.
[01:50:41]  I went corporate, went to work in the oil and gas industry when I was 21.
[01:50:46]  And under that, in that age, there was the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, FERC, was bringing in a new order.
[01:50:57]  I think it was called FERC Order 474, 473.
[01:51:02]  And that would revolutionize the way energy was transported and accessed across the United States.
[01:51:11]  So it basically, It was called open access, where I, as an individual or a small company, could buy energy in the same way at the same price that Exxon or DuPont, they were all trading together.
[01:51:25]  So it really opened the market for a very competitive market.
[01:51:29]  And it has worked exceptionally well.
[01:51:31]  There's probably 200 men and women that changed the way energy traded natural gas, electricity, and crude oil in the United States.
[01:51:39]  That market today, we have a sub $3 natural gas price in the United States.
[01:51:45]  When I started, In the industry, the natural gas prices just show you how cool competition is if you leave the markets undone and don't intervene with them.
[01:51:54]  The price of natural gas when I was first buying it in the 80s was $7.63.
[01:51:59]  And now it's $3.35 plus years later.
[01:52:03]  So competition really works, it creates innovation.
[01:52:07]  Very true.
[01:52:08]  So that's kind of how I got here.
[01:52:09]  Now, how did you go from kind of you talked about being in corporate and then now you've been in the industry, you've got your own business, you've got your own companies and everything.
[01:52:19]  How have you gotten to that transition?
[01:52:23]  What was that transition like for you, in which you just decided I'm going to double down and do what I got to do?
[01:52:29]  I was working for a large oil company that people would know their name in Houston, Texas.
[01:52:34]  And I was 26 years old.
[01:52:38]  And I looked at the management team and I looked at the disruption that was occurring through this new FERC order.
[01:52:44]  And I was like, I don't think these guys, although they own all the oil and gas and they've got big teams and they've got a big building, I could not imagine spending my whole life doing that.
[01:52:54]  So I went to work for a startup.
[01:52:56]  I think I was the 12th commercial employee.
[01:52:58]  It was called Natural Gas Clearinghouse.
[01:53:00]  I took a huge risk.
[01:53:02]  I left a Big company with a big brand, a little bit like maybe what you guys have been going through.
[01:53:06]  Hey, what am I going to do when I grow up?
[01:53:09]  And I took a big risk.
[01:53:10]  I went to work for a place where the platform or the ball field, if you think about it as an athletic team, they allowed me to exercise the muscles that I had.
[01:53:21]  And I wasn't required to wear a white shirt and a gray suit.
[01:53:25]  I mean, I weren't constantly controlling my creation.
[01:53:28]  And that would be once I went to work for that startup, I would never work for a company again.
[01:53:33]  Right.
[01:53:33]  And then people.
[01:53:34]  I've just been building companies since then.
[01:53:36]  People are hungry for that freedom, and I think you exemplify that in what you do.
[01:53:39]  And that's why me, you, Tim, we're all part of these conversations now, particularly on X. We're hearing a variety of opinions from people.
[01:53:45]  We're always trying to stay on topic, trying to track everything as it happens, as it evolves.
[01:53:49]  I wanted to ask you what's your expert view on the energy market disruption?
[01:53:53]  Because you're an oil guy, you have this huge energy background, you know the industry from day one.
[01:53:58]  What's your view on what's going on right now and the potential ramifications and consequences of it?
[01:54:03]  Hmm, do we have a whole day?
[01:54:05]  Yes.
[01:54:06]  Look, this is a most spectacular event in world history.
[01:54:14]  And I have a really, probably a different view than most people.
[01:54:18]  I understand quite a bit of energy has been disrupted.
[01:54:24]  And had we not gone through COVID, I would probably be a bit more concerned.
[01:54:29]  And by that, I mean, COVID was an instant, immediate, Demand shutdown, which it was also supply shutdown.
[01:54:42]  The experts are going to say it was all demand driven, but the truth is, it was also supply.
[01:54:46]  You couldn't get to work.
[01:54:48]  So we spent what four years figuring out how to get logistics all re engineered, changed.
[01:54:56]  I mean, from toys to energy to gasoline to automobiles, manufacturing processes.
[01:55:03]  I think that made us really strong.
[01:55:05]  It's a bit, it's an anti fragile.
[01:55:08]  Exercise, right?
[01:55:09]  Where you go through a huge shock and the whole system figures out how to fix it may not be the most elegant fix, but that was six years ago.
[01:55:19]  And we have gone through that process.
[01:55:22]  I suspect I have two viewpoints.
[01:55:24]  One, I suspect that we will get logistics back online quicker than we think we can, assuming we don't go any further, which is a big wish, in my opinion.
[01:55:37]  Secondly, I think that we will find that there is a good 35% of all energy that is used.
[01:55:45]  No one wants to talk about this, but it is a big subject.
[01:55:49]  35% of all energy used, and 35% of the energy that has not been terminated yet, 35% of all the energy I use is convenience energy.
[01:55:59]  Like I don't have to use it.
[01:56:01]  I don't have to have my AC at 69.
[01:56:04]  I don't have to travel in a car every mile.
[01:56:07]  I can start being discerning in the way I'm spending money.
[01:56:10]  I think that's actually really good for Americans.
[01:56:13]  It's being forced on you, but we will learn to really value energy in what it does and we will waste less of it.
[01:56:20]  So, Gary, waste a lot of energy.
[01:56:22]  My question on this would be okay, so you really do have a different perspective because it's very easy to get black pilled on this issue.
[01:56:30]  Sure.
[01:56:31]  Especially with the oil crisis.
[01:56:34]  So, are you trying to say that it may not be as bad as it seems or that it looks because, like, I'm hearing competing ideologies?
[01:56:42]  It's tough.
[01:56:42]  And it's very hard to discern what's the truth versus what's the smoke and mirrors.
[01:56:46]  Because again, you are somebody who's in higher levels of rooms that the average person doesn't have access to.
[01:56:53]  And the experience too.
[01:56:53]  And the experience too.
[01:56:55]  So, like those two combined together, what's the real story here?
[01:56:58]  Are we about to have a major crisis?
[01:57:01]  Because it seems like you're saying, well, COVID has already taught us, but then there's also real stakes here.
[01:57:05]  Can you talk about some of that?
[01:57:07]  Well, look, I think there is severe damage being done to the economy right now.
[01:57:12]  There's no doubt.
[01:57:12]  There is severe damage being done to the economy, to geographies.
[01:57:17]  And to relationships across the world.
[01:57:20]  Like Americans taking a big, big, big hit today.
[01:57:23]  If this, if America was a stock, we would probably be closed today.
[01:57:29]  Wow.
[01:57:29]  Okay.
[01:57:29]  I mean, seriously.
[01:57:35]  Look, I mean, 40% of the world still cooks on wood.
[01:57:40]  Wow.
[01:57:40]  I want to say that for the audience, okay?
[01:57:43]  40% of the world still cooks on food, still cooks on wood.
[01:57:48]  So they go to the river, they get water, they start a fire, and they clean the water.
[01:57:53]  We have a really different perspective here.
[01:57:55]  Yes.
[01:57:56]  When I say that there's 35% of the energy that I use is unnecessary, I can turn my AC off.
[01:58:04]  I don't have to have a hot bath every day.
[01:58:06]  I don't.
[01:58:07]  Not one of you guys turned your laptop computer off last night.
[01:58:11]  That means energy is too cheap.
[01:58:13]  Okay.
[01:58:14]  If you're just burning it away and not turning it off, it's too cheap.
[01:58:17]  So we're going to enter a new world where we value what we're doing.
[01:58:22]  This is moving into a world of efficiency, I think.
[01:58:25]  This will be the first step to utilizing tools as we pay for things as we use them instead of paying subscriptions.
[01:58:34]  And you get to pay for my overuse.
[01:58:38]  Yeah.
[01:58:39]  Here's a good example.
[01:58:40]  My garbage extraction from my home is bigger than most people's.
[01:58:44]  I should be charged more.
[01:58:46]  Right.
[01:58:47]  For sure, I should be charged more.
[01:58:48]  Like I should be charged on my demand, not on everything that I transact on.
[01:58:54]  I should be, in my opinion, if you started pushing the consequences on energy use instead of everybody pays a flat rate, the world would be a much, much more efficient place.
[01:59:08]  For instance, a car, an automobile is used 4% of the time.
[01:59:12]  That is a massive waste of energy.
[01:59:15]  And you have to build a house to put the car in.
[01:59:19]  And then you got to clean the car.
[01:59:21]  So there's just a lot of things as we move into what I call the digitization of planet Earth, the digitization of planet Earth that we are moving into a fully digital world.
[01:59:33]  We're going to find that a very efficient way to live.
[01:59:37]  Let me interject here because it sounds like a lot of what you're talking about is the great reset.
[01:59:41]  And we've talked about this a lot on this show and other shows on the network about the 50. 15 minute cities, about kind of everything being on a meter, including intelligence, all of that.
[01:59:50]  You're in a lot of these elite rooms.
[01:59:51]  You're having a lot of these elite conversations with people.
[01:59:53]  I wanted to ask you the question what do you hear people talking about?
[01:59:57]  Is it really going to be this globalization where everything is run off of ultimate efficiency?
[02:00:02]  Is it the death of kind of consumer culture where we can use as much as we want?
[02:00:06]  We can go to the store as much as we want.
[02:00:08]  We can eat as much food as we want.
[02:00:10]  What do you see here?
[02:00:12]  Yeah, I have a lot of financial friends and I think all these metrics are broken, quite frankly.
[02:00:18]  But the first one comes up is GDP, right?
[02:00:21]  And look, GDP is a funny number because I don't know how many more T shirts Americans need, but that drives GDP, man.
[02:00:30]  I mean, I have a lot of T shirts.
[02:00:31]  I'm wearing my favorite T shirt today for world peace.
[02:00:35]  But I just think it's a little bit like the 35% convenience factor on energy.
[02:00:43]  We eat too much too.
[02:00:45]  By the way, like, you know, all Americans, if we ate one half the meals that we're eating today, if we were driven into a depression and only had to eat half the meal, no one's going to die of underfood, right?
[02:01:01]  Not in America.
[02:01:03]  So, like, you really start thinking, I think this is going to be, I don't like how we got here, but I think this is going to really drive people to start thinking about.
[02:01:16]  Where they're living, what they're paying for energy, and how they're using the resources around them.
[02:01:21]  Because I know a lot of people, they're terrified right now.
[02:01:25]  I mean, flat out terrified.
[02:01:28]  They own private businesses.
[02:01:30]  They don't know where their income is going to come from.
[02:01:33]  They see major disruptions.
[02:01:35]  Their employees now are freaking out because they're paying $4.50 for gasoline in Florida instead of $3.00.
[02:01:43]  That just changed in 10 days.
[02:01:44]  I mean, I operate a business center.
[02:01:46]  Like, I'm paying more already.
[02:01:48]  And, you know, we're just told these are increases we have to take.
[02:01:51]  I think the average American, especially people in the private business sector, people that employ people, are asking, you know, where's the room for us to breathe?
[02:01:59]  Where's the room in this entire situation?
[02:02:00]  Yeah, I mean, there's not a lot of room to breathe.
[02:02:02]  But then, you know, I look at what you're saying here, Gary, and I do agree in certain aspects.
[02:02:06]  Like, yeah, I mean, we do need to look at, you know, how much people are overusing or overconsuming and, you know, the waste that's happening with not just energy, but food.
[02:02:17]  Like, I used to work as a server for, A very long time.
[02:02:20]  I mean, after the day, you would see just trash and piles and piles of trash from food that people weren't eating.
[02:02:26]  And people would have like one thing on the plate and eat it and then throw out the rest of it.
[02:02:31]  And it doesn't go anywhere but the trash.
[02:02:33]  And then, but I also look at another argument here.
[02:02:37]  And it's about how we have created the systems to where we don't have public transportation to allow people to offload the aspects of like vehicle trash.
[02:02:48]  Where's our high speed rail?
[02:02:49]  Well, yeah.
[02:02:49]  And this is what I'm saying.
[02:02:51]  So, like, if you live in California, Most likely, you might be working at a job that's closer to downtown because that's where the infrastructure is, but you may not be able to afford to live any closer than like maybe an hour away.
[02:03:03]  And that requires you to have a vehicle in order to travel that far out of necessity.
[02:03:08]  And you could look at it and be like, well, that person should be charged more because they're using more.
[02:03:11]  But it's not like a simple binary equation there because we're not giving people alternatives like a high speed rail to where they could drive to their local train station and get the same transportation into the You know where they work, and that would work if we had those incentives in place.
[02:03:30]  That's such a key point to make because keep in mind the national highway system.
[02:03:34]  What is that?
[02:03:34]  That's a military invention.
[02:03:35]  We wanted the entire country to be connected, and we see things come out of these global conflicts.
[02:03:39]  I think it is like you're saying, we're going to see a new world order come out of all this, right, Tim?
[02:03:43]  Yes.
[02:03:44]  So, Gary, that's what I'm so like for the nuances because it's very easy to paint the black and white picture here.
[02:03:50]  Where is room for nuances when I talk about these scenarios for people who would need to use hire because they have no choice?
[02:03:59]  Well, look, my brother and I, he's a real estate guy.
[02:04:04]  And four years ago, we were already, I said, look, no one's going back to the commercial building.
[02:04:09]  And he's like, no, no, no, they're all going back.
[02:04:11]  I'm like, no, bro, there's no one's going back to the commercial buildings.
[02:04:15]  The people that will go back to the commercial buildings will be the bottom 80% of the staff.

=== Nuances in Global Markets (15:04) ===

[02:04:23]  And I mean, you start thinking about the problems this creates.
[02:04:27]  I'd say a Morgan Stanley, who, by the way, Jamie Dimon, Was on TV this morning or last night saying, Hey, New York's done.
[02:04:34]  Wow.
[02:04:35]  Now, when you talk about New York being done in what, less than a year, he's like, Hey, look, we cannot hire people here.
[02:04:44]  They cannot afford to live anywhere near New York City.
[02:04:48]  Most of his competitors are moving to Florida.
[02:04:52]  So I think you're seeing New York fail because of bad policy all over the place.
[02:04:57]  And people were, you know, the Scaramucci's and the Trumps of the world said, New York can never fall.
[02:05:05]  Well, New York is falling just as California is falling.
[02:05:09]  It's too expensive to live there.
[02:05:12]  If you can't survive, like I stopped hiring anyone under $10,000 a month.
[02:05:18]  Wow.
[02:05:19]  And the reason is if you don't make $10,000 a month, at least you become a problem to me.
[02:05:24]  Wow.
[02:05:25]  And I don't need problems.
[02:05:27]  I need solutions.
[02:05:28]  I don't need criminals.
[02:05:29]  I don't need people that are going to, you know, getting speeding tickets or their car, whatever.
[02:05:35]  I need people that are.
[02:05:36]  Like their minds are together.
[02:05:38]  And I think this is doing more than inflating the cost of things.
[02:05:43]  This is really creating a lot of terror and fear.
[02:05:47]  And investments are not made when there's terror and fear.
[02:05:51]  Yes.
[02:05:51]  And there's instability.
[02:05:53]  So, most certainly, there is a whole set of dice being thrown on this geopolitical chessboard, and the entire board is shifting.
[02:06:04]  We need to, as Americans, we are really ignorant people on a world stage.
[02:06:08]  It would behoove every American to start studying true history, not what you're listening to on any media sources, including this one.
[02:06:17]  You should do your own due diligence.
[02:06:19]  We always say that.
[02:06:20]  That's the ethos of the show.
[02:06:22]  That's the ethos.
[02:06:23]  Very powerful, man.
[02:06:23]  Yeah.
[02:06:23]  Very powerful.
[02:06:24]  That's the reason why I do the deep dives on the show, because the history and the context is important to the entire equation.
[02:06:30]  And more often than not, people just look at the headline, they look at the surface level information, and then they argue on that instead of understanding there's a whole.
[02:06:39]  A bunch of complex systems.
[02:06:40]  So, like, one thing I want to talk about is you know, you and I often go into like a space like Suleiman.
[02:06:47]  And so we hear a lot of people in those spaces just arguing, and they represent the average person around the world.
[02:06:53]  What do you, I know sometimes you're probably just listening, you're probably chuckling to yourself because the narratives that go on in that eco space versus the rooms that you're in are probably two very different things.
[02:07:05]  Am I correct on that?
[02:07:07]  Well, I'm a very, like, I'm not a good cartel member.
[02:07:13]  Like, if you want me in a cartel, I'm probably not the guy to be.
[02:07:17]  I'm not going to be loyal to you.
[02:07:19]  I grew up Catholic.
[02:07:20]  The moment I saw the too many priests doing too many bad things and the Catholic leaders not saying, hey, that's wrong.
[02:07:28]  They were protecting their people, I walked away.
[02:07:31]  I'm not going to be a part of a bad organization.
[02:07:34]  So, look, I think the world would do well to listen to.
[02:07:38]  Everyone actually listen to other people.
[02:07:42]  I go into a lot of different spaces to understand.
[02:07:45]  To me, X and what Elon's doing is a great opportunity for tremendous education.
[02:07:51]  Sure.
[02:07:52]  Tremendous free education, education we've never received before.
[02:07:56]  And that's why I go there and I have learned a lot.
[02:07:59]  I don't really laugh at people when they're pitching their deal, they're just pitching their deal.
[02:08:04]  Right.
[02:08:05]  And I think it's really hard.
[02:08:10]  Uh, for most people, look, it's cost me a lot of money to go in some of these spaces and take a view and have an opinion.
[02:08:17]  Can you talk about that?
[02:08:18]  People, well, I mean, I've had friends that are very, very wealthy call me up and go, Bro, could you remove that post?
[02:08:26]  Wow.
[02:08:26]  Um, could you, hey, you really want to do this, man?
[02:08:30]  You really need to push that envelope?
[02:08:32]  Like, you got a lot of issues, you don't need to.
[02:08:34]  And I'm like, You know, the right thing to do, yes.
[02:08:39]  Isn't always the most convenient thing to do.
[02:08:42]  And I'm really sorry that it's got to be convenient for some people, but this one is a big deal.
[02:08:48]  We have millions of people being disrupted, trafficked, I mean, drugged.
[02:08:55]  But like, if COVID hadn't happened, you might want to call me an extremist.
[02:09:02]  We've seen it all before.
[02:09:03]  I'm pretty sure that the same people that are running this fucking show ran the 2020 COVID thing.
[02:09:10]  Okay, it's not cool.
[02:09:11]  That was a mass.
[02:09:13]  Aggressive act against humanity.
[02:09:15]  It's not cool.
[02:09:16]  And I'm not going to stop saying it was not cool until the perpetrators are brought in front of a judge and they're put in prison for the military tribunal.
[02:09:27]  And this is the thing global disruptions, global famines.
[02:09:29]  And the point I wanted to make when you and Tim were going into the discussion of being sure to analyze everything you see and getting alternative sources the thing the politician will do is the same exact thing the bank man will do or the businessman will do.
[02:09:41]  They'll have a line graph that's going like this, that's going straight down.
[02:09:44]  And they'll find one point where it jumps up again.
[02:09:46]  And they zoom in on the point and they're like, we're doing great.
[02:09:50]  Do you see a lot of that?
[02:09:52]  Yeah.
[02:09:53]  And but listen, you see a lot of that in finance too.
[02:09:55]  Like, you know, they'll show you a chart and that chart was up for 13 minutes and they compare it to another chart and go, look, it's outperforming.
[02:10:03]  So I'll tell you, I've been investing since I was 21 years old and it's very, very difficult for me to understand where to make an investment today.
[02:10:12]  Like, how do you make an investment in OpenAI when the CFO comes out this weekend and says, We're not ready to go.
[02:10:21]  We have some financial issues.
[02:10:22]  I'm concerned about the way my CEO spends money.
[02:10:26]  Okay.
[02:10:27]  Like that's crazy, man.
[02:10:29]  This is serious money these people are raising now.
[02:10:31]  Right.
[02:10:32]  And where's the power going to come from to power all these data centers now that global energy markets are pretty much destroyed?
[02:10:37]  Now, that's another factor into all this.
[02:10:39]  Let's say it all gets put together again.
[02:10:41]  The price is never going to, like, the price is always going to have this premium.
[02:10:45]  Not always, but it's going to have a premium here for, If everything were to settle down today, you've already shocked the F out of this system.
[02:10:55]  Okay, this system is so messed up now.
[02:11:00]  I think now, I think it will come back, but I would prefer oil to actually just go to $200 really, really fast.
[02:11:09]  And then you see the demand destruction.
[02:11:12]  You're going to see demand destruction at 115.
[02:11:15]  It's going to blow your mind.
[02:11:17]  Oh, it's there.
[02:11:18]  I actually.
[02:11:19]  Tick tock, tick tock, like the crocodile.
[02:11:21]  There's going to be logistic issues.
[02:11:23]  Okay, there'll be issues with certain centers, but I think you're going to have a lot of production come back online.
[02:11:29]  You're going to see the oil price snap right back down.
[02:11:33]  But you can't keep doing this to demand.
[02:11:36]  It's not good.
[02:11:37]  It's not good for the world economy, for certain.
[02:11:40]  Absolutely.
[02:11:41]  We're coming up on a network break.
[02:11:42]  You're going to join us next segment.
[02:11:44]  Really looking forward to hearing more from you.
[02:11:45]  Thank you so much.
[02:11:46]  Gary Cardone joins us in the next segment.
[02:11:49]  Stick around, thealexjonesstore.com.
[02:11:51]  I want to remind you the place for Methylene Blue, the place for Shilly G gummies, all your favorite supplements, thealexjonesstore.com.
[02:11:57]  Tim Tompkins, Rex Jones.
[02:11:59]  See you soon.
[02:12:11]  Remind folks listening out there in cyberspace, in the car, walking the dog, at the gym, or on the way to work, the toll free number to call is 1 877 789 2539.
[02:12:21]  Keep in mind, we want to hear from you if you live near a data center, if things are developing, if you've got on the ground knowledge of that.
[02:12:27]  The toll free number to call is 1 877 789 2539.
[02:12:32]  1 877 789 2539.
[02:12:35]  Let's join Gary Cardone back again.
[02:12:38]  Yeah, so Gary, this has been a great conversation.
[02:12:42]  And there was something that you were touching upon earlier, and you were saying, I've lost a lot of business deals.
[02:12:47]  I've lost a lot of things just from holding positions or making these tough statements.
[02:12:54]  And what I wanted to ask you on that is what I'm seeing is there's probably a lot of other people that are in high positions of power, let's even say government, in which they have to take a position.
[02:13:07]  And there are people that they're willing to sacrifice themselves or not willing to sacrifice themselves, let me clarify, to.
[02:13:16]  Actually, say the right things.
[02:13:18]  And so I want to ask you about that is that what you're seeing?
[02:13:21]  There are people, there's just a lot of yes men, aren't there?
[02:13:23]  And I think, especially in the government, is that correct?
[02:13:29]  I think it's just the government.
[02:13:32]  And I wouldn't expect middle management and government to resist, right?
[02:13:39]  But it's the business people that, the leaders, the billionaires, you know, 3,000 billionaires on this planet today.
[02:13:49]  3,000 billionaires.
[02:13:50]  And I wonder, hey, where are your voices?
[02:13:55]  Like, I've been fortunate to make a decent amount of money and have a really good life.
[02:14:01]  I would hope that the people behind me have the same opportunity and that you don't have to belong to a group to succeed.
[02:14:12]  Like, that's not America.
[02:14:14]  Hey, really, really quick.
[02:14:16]  I'm sorry to interrupt.
[02:14:17]  You're having a bit of an audio quality issue.
[02:14:19]  I think you switched your with the setting.
[02:14:21]  It must have gotten switched.
[02:14:23]  Yeah.
[02:14:25]  Well, you're making this key point.
[02:14:27]  I'll talk for a little bit, give you a little bit of buffer time.
[02:14:29]  The thing that Gary's talking about here is the people that have a lot of voice, that have a lot of impact.
[02:14:33]  In the private sector, we're not seeing a lot of them, are we, Tim?
[02:14:36]  We're seeing kind of radio silence on all these issues.
[02:14:38]  Yeah, we're seeing a lot of radio silence, and it's that investment behind the scenes the guy who has the real power, the guy who holds whoever has the money holds the power.
[02:14:48]  Yes.
[02:14:48]  Money is what moves the world.
[02:14:50]  That is the social currency.
[02:14:51]  That is the real currency that makes decisions.
[02:14:53]  And so if somebody's not happy with a narrative that is being pushed, they have the ability to say, hey, well, you need to change that or you need to go along with that.
[02:15:03]  And finance and industry and business, all these.
[02:15:05]  Things are really global markets.
[02:15:06]  So if you're an American, but you're involved in these global markets and the global markets are getting impacted, if you're an American, you're hiding behind that, it's time for you to come out and speak up.
[02:15:15]  Maybe you're going to find a way around it, whatever, but the average people, the ordinary people on the ground aren't.
[02:15:20]  And Gary talked about this a little bit earlier.
[02:15:22]  He's wearing the t shirt for peace, right?
[02:15:24]  And I just think being anti war, being pro humanity in all respects, being anti death, that's such a core human message.
[02:15:29]  And if someone like Zuckerberg, the lizard man, if he wants to not look like a lizard, the idea is not to go do jiu jitsu and become tough.
[02:15:36]  The idea is to say, hey, We want to end the wars.
[02:15:38]  We want to help people.
[02:15:39]  Why aren't people like that, you know, getting the free, infinitely free political capital off of, you know, just having human positions?
[02:15:45]  Well, yeah.
[02:15:45]  And then also, well, here's the thing you have the richest man in the world, Elon, tried to help humanity, not just by saving X, but also all the things he was trying to do with Doge.
[02:15:55]  One thing that was profound to me was if the richest man in the world doesn't have the ability to drain the swamp and change the systems, even though he has the ultimate amount of power.
[02:16:08]  When it comes to monetary, then who can switch it, right?
[02:16:11]  Does it require a conglomerate of like the richest people in the world getting together to battle the George Soros's that just want pure chaos?
[02:16:20]  That's an excellent question to ask him.
[02:16:22]  Let's see how his audio quality is.
[02:16:24]  Gary, are you with us right now?
[02:16:28]  Know what the problem is here.
[02:16:29]  Okay, now we can hear you pretty good.
[02:16:31]  Now we can hear you pretty good.
[02:16:32]  It was a little chock.
[02:16:33]  Yeah, it should be good enough, guys.
[02:16:36]  Is his audio good enough?
[02:16:40]  Oh, okay.
[02:16:40]  Awesome.
[02:16:41]  Continue on your point.
[02:16:42]  Sorry, continue on your point.
[02:16:43]  We just want to give you some time to figure things out.
[02:16:45]  Yeah, look, I just think, I mean, I'm just questioning where they are and that I'm getting phone calls and texts and, hey, you know, do you really need this heat?
[02:16:56]  Look, I see us at war.
[02:17:00]  And we are at war.
[02:17:01]  I think we're, this is not a regional war.
[02:17:05]  This is, and if it's not a regional war, what do you call 20 countries being involved in a conflict?
[02:17:11]  Right.
[02:17:11]  I call that world war.
[02:17:13]  Yes.
[02:17:13]  I don't call it a regional little spit, spat, or divorce.
[02:17:18]  This is the global chessboard being moved around.
[02:17:23]  And this has happened for centuries.
[02:17:27]  And for us to not understand it's happening again on our watch.
[02:17:31]  So, you see, the part about it's happening on our watch is the important piece because I now have, I did not expect this to be happening at my age and in this century on this event on this planet today, but I'm here, I'm alive.
[02:17:45]  So, I have to play a role here.
[02:17:47]  Or I get to go hide in my little bank account and pretend like it's not happening, but I'm one of the leaders on this planet.
[02:17:54]  I can't pretend like I don't have, you know, you're either a leader or a follower.
[02:17:59]  If you're a leader to me, you have to step up here.
[02:18:02]  And I tried to step up and do some political stuff.
[02:18:04]  It's not.
[02:18:05]  Conducive to productive, creative solving of problems.
[02:18:11]  It's just so messed up.
[02:18:12]  I spent some time with this administration.
[02:18:15]  I've never been political and I will never, ever be political again because I think the system is so suppressed and so the motivations for being in politics today are the incentives are asked backwards completely.
[02:18:34]  They're designed for fraud, actually.
[02:18:37]  And yes, they're designed for the wrong thing.
[02:18:41]  No, you're a thousand percent right.
[02:18:43]  And the last question I wanted to ask you was you know, it's very easy to get doomer and gloomer on these things.
[02:18:50]  Do you see any light at the end of the tunnel, any kind of like white pill perspective in which there might be some hope for the average person?
[02:18:59]  Are things going to change?
[02:19:00]  Are there people working in the background to change these things around?
[02:19:04]  Or are we just consumed by the monster at this point?
[02:19:10]  Today, we have more freedom today than we have had in centuries.
[02:19:15]  And I think if we look back, this never works by the bully.
[02:19:19]  Okay.
[02:19:20]  The bully and the draconian group, they may stay in play here and eke out an existence.

=== Hope for the Average Person (16:27) ===

[02:19:28]  But with all this technology, okay, this is why I go into these spaces.
[02:19:32]  People go, hey, why do you spend time on these?
[02:19:34]  This is a massive education opportunity for global planet, however many people there are on this planet.
[02:19:40]  We're going to discover more artists, more creative people, more solutions than we have ever found in history.
[02:19:49]  And not to connect all these pieces and have some of the best brains and minds in the world talking about how we prosper in the future instead of fighting with each other.
[02:20:00]  I think we have plenty of resources on this planet.
[02:20:03]  Right.
[02:20:03]  Like I have been in energy longer than most people, and I do not see a shortage of energy, not anywhere.
[02:20:10]  Okay.
[02:20:11]  Now, the funding to build the capital.
[02:20:14]  To all those places, and some of this energy may not be in the most perfect position, but maybe the population of those people aren't in the best position.
[02:20:23]  There's been migration for centuries where people follow the resources.
[02:20:28]  And I, for the first time in my life, am seriously looking at hey, what do I need to do to go to another location that provides me and my family more security and an easier way of life?
[02:20:40]  So, for the first time, I'm now thinking about moving out of America.
[02:20:43]  I've lived outside the country before.
[02:20:45]  Wow.
[02:20:46]  Because it's becoming a very expensive business now.
[02:20:48]  I love America.
[02:20:49]  Don't get me wrong.
[02:20:51]  But I'm beginning to look for some secondary options.
[02:20:54]  I think that's going to be a huge business for people just working.
[02:20:58]  Like, wow, there's going to be a lot of people re looking at their position in Dubai now.
[02:21:04]  People looking for growth.
[02:21:05]  People looking for places that are expanding markets.
[02:21:07]  And I think that's a key thing for yourself as an entrepreneur, for us as entrepreneurs, for both small business owners as well.
[02:21:13]  We look at the situation, costs just climb like crazy every five seconds.
[02:21:17]  And These other places actually want you to do business.
[02:21:20]  I want to touch on one more thing before we wrap here.
[02:21:22]  This is a network show.
[02:21:23]  Really appreciate you coming on.
[02:21:23]  We're going to have you on the gray area.
[02:21:25]  I want to ask you about this because you mentioned it briefly earlier.
[02:21:28]  Of course, you're wearing the peace shirt, right?
[02:21:29]  You're wearing the anti war, pro peace shirt.
[02:21:31]  And people can say, oh, well, that's a simple message.
[02:21:33]  You're anti war.
[02:21:34]  It's a simple message and it's a very, very powerful one.
[02:21:37]  And it's essential for humanity.
[02:21:42]  Let's make it positive, though.
[02:21:43]  Let's be pro peace.
[02:21:44]  It doesn't have to be the negative.
[02:21:46]  I am pro peace, dude.
[02:21:48]  I have no conflicts with any religion whatsoever.
[02:21:51]  Yes.
[02:21:52]  Do not attempt to suppress me.
[02:21:55]  Yes.
[02:21:55]  If I do not believe in you and your religion, move on.
[02:21:59]  Okay.
[02:22:00]  I'm not going to bad mouth you.
[02:22:01]  You can believe in anything you want, but don't fuck with me.
[02:22:05]  Okay.
[02:22:06]  And that's why I love Bitcoin.
[02:22:07]  I mean, I, you know, we have a market that's just crazy right now.
[02:22:12]  Every price has changed, and Bitcoin is sitting there, a very tiny little market, $1.2 trillion, and it is just holding firm there.
[02:22:23]  And I'm going to just make a prediction on your show that in the next 12 to 18 months, you're going to see Bitcoin.
[02:22:29]  This is not the prediction you think I'm going to say.
[02:22:31]  You're going to see Bitcoin either perform or not perform exceptionally well.
[02:22:36]  If it does not perform exceptionally well in the next 12 to 18 months, it was built for this exact event.
[02:22:45]  Right.
[02:22:45]  Exactly.
[02:22:46]  This is why I invested in this in 2020 in a big, big way.
[02:22:52]  I feel extremely comfortable going to bed every night, contrary to, I think, a lot of my buddies with the world and the conflicts going on with my portfolio of Bitcoin.
[02:23:02]  It is the only asset I have that I feel comfortable with.
[02:23:06]  Yes.
[02:23:06]  Yes.
[02:23:08]  We're all super bullish on Bitcoin.
[02:23:10]  We really appreciate you taking the time, spending this time with us here today.
[02:23:12]  Sorry for the shortness.
[02:23:14]  We know you had 90 minutes budgeted out.
[02:23:15]  For us, we hope to have you on the gray area soon.
[02:23:17]  You're incredible.
[02:23:18]  Thank you so much, Gary Cardone.
[02:23:19]  Ladies, where can they find you?
[02:23:21]  Where are you doing out there?
[02:23:23]  I think X is your main platform, right?
[02:23:25]  Yeah, X is the only platform I'm allowed on anymore, pretty much.
[02:23:29]  So, beautiful.
[02:23:31]  Awesome.
[02:23:31]  Yeah, thank you guys.
[02:23:32]  Appreciate you very much.
[02:23:34]  We'll definitely connect with you after the show and try to get you on the gray area.
[02:23:37]  Give him a follow.
[02:23:38]  Yeah, give him a follow.
[02:23:39]  We also want to have a longer conversation with you outside of the show.
[02:23:42]  So, that would be great.
[02:23:43]  Appreciate you, Gary.
[02:23:44]  Thank you so much.
[02:23:45]  Thanks, you guys.
[02:23:46]  Yeah, we love having the opportunity to be on the network and show people like this to a wider audience and have these conversations and make things go around because it's what people want to see in the morning, fast, hard hitting news.
[02:23:57]  But we do a show Thursday and Sunday called The Gray Area.
[02:24:00]  That's a two to three hour show.
[02:24:02]  And on Sunday, it's always a three plus hour show where we have a guest, we have a deep dive, and sometimes we take calls.
[02:24:07]  Yeah.
[02:24:08]  And it's one of those things that if you guys want to continue to hear us outside of the show, if you like the information that we're giving, this is kind of like our bread and butter.
[02:24:17]  The place to go.
[02:24:18]  Yeah, it's the place to go.
[02:24:19]  Also, give me a Follow on Truism Tim.
[02:24:22]  Truism Tim.
[02:24:23]  I'm right there.
[02:24:23]  I'm linked in the bio.
[02:24:25]  But, you know, we also want to hear from you guys.
[02:24:27]  Yes, we do.
[02:24:28]  We got some callers here and we asked specifically for people who are existing near these data centers.
[02:24:35]  Let's see.
[02:24:36]  Who do we got?
[02:24:39]  Let's talk to Alex in Michigan, University of Michigan building AI data center.
[02:24:44]  Alex, you're on the air.
[02:24:46]  Hey, how's it going, you guys?
[02:24:48]  Good to talk to you again.
[02:24:49]  Yep.
[02:24:50]  So, what's going on?
[02:24:52]  The University of Michigan, they're asking taxpayers for billions and billions of dollars to build this AI supercomputer data center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
[02:25:02]  Wow.
[02:25:03]  And actually, Ypsilanti, which is right next to Ann Arbor.
[02:25:06]  But yeah, so if you look at the history of the University of Michigan, it was actually set up by the Vatican and these Catholics.
[02:25:15]  The Jesuits.
[02:25:16]  So it's another Jesuit institution trying to destroy our once great Protestant Republic.
[02:25:21]  Okay.
[02:25:21]  All right.
[02:25:22]  We appreciate it.
[02:25:23]  Thank you for the comment.
[02:25:23]  Let's go to Tommy in North Carolina, has a new data center being built next to his house.
[02:25:28]  Talk about that.
[02:25:29]  What's that like for you to have your coffee, to get out in the morning, and to see the data center?
[02:25:34]  Well, it's about two miles from my house, but it was a farm.
[02:25:38]  It was a family farm.
[02:25:39]  I don't know how many generations deep it was, but when the grandkids got it, kind of like the Oliver Northstone went, they got the land and they sold it immediately.
[02:25:49]  Yep.
[02:25:51]  And they did not give people in the community really a chance to speak.
[02:25:56]  I went and spoke on it.
[02:25:57]  But as soon as their representative stood up, the first word out of her mouth was, Our investors have seven or nine billion dollars.
[02:26:04]  You know, the dollar signs came up.
[02:26:07]  And so we were just pretty much just buried in a bunch of crap from that way.
[02:26:12]  Yeah, yeah.
[02:26:13]  And, you know, I brought up the aspect of where's the security at for all this?
[02:26:20]  Like they gave us this old, there's 300 acres they're taking over.
[02:26:25]  And they gave us all this great thing about subsidies and all this, but they never once talked about security.
[02:26:35]  And in the same time, they were talking about how this was about national security.
[02:26:39]  You know, we got to be top of the game for all the new technology coming out, so we need these data centers.
[02:26:45]  And I was like, well, who's going to secure this stuff?
[02:26:49]  You know, we got people all over this country.
[02:26:51]  We don't know who they are.
[02:26:53]  We know there's terrorists here.
[02:26:54]  They're building these data centers up with thousands of gallons of diesel fuel and all this.
[02:26:59]  Newsboy, watch this stuff.
[02:27:00]  They are primed for an attack.
[02:27:02]  I think that's an excellent point to make.
[02:27:04]  Tim, your thoughts.
[02:27:04]  Yeah, I was just saying, like, I mean, they hold these town halls.
[02:27:07]  I presume that's what you were talking about, where they were like, hey, this new data center is getting propped up here.
[02:27:12]  You have an opportunity to speak.
[02:27:13]  But what it sounds like is you spoke, they didn't really care.
[02:27:17]  All they saw was dollar signs.
[02:27:19]  And I think this is the bigger issue here the money speaks more than what they care about the impact to the people that live in that region.
[02:27:26]  I really hope, Tommy, that you don't have to go through any type of misery from the data center issues because it is affecting America's day to day.
[02:27:35]  Is it affecting your water, your power, anything like that?
[02:27:38]  You see any bills go up or quality go down?
[02:27:39]  No, they haven't.
[02:27:41]  They haven't started building it just yet.
[02:27:43]  They've got everything, they're doing all the rigmarole to get everything passed through.
[02:27:49]  They are starting to clear the land, though.
[02:27:50]  I have noticed that.
[02:27:51]  They are starting to cut all the trees down.
[02:27:54]  How big of a facility are we talking about?
[02:27:56]  I did notice one thing I did notice because I went and Spoke at a lot of the town stuff when they were trying to remove the statues.
[02:28:04]  And a lot of the people from the town, from the area that came out and spoke against it and was all for the Black Lives Matter and for this, that, and the third, those people were the same people that came to these town halls for the data centers and spoke for the data centers.
[02:28:21]  Wow.
[02:28:22]  That's a key observation.
[02:28:24]  I did notice that.
[02:28:25]  Yeah.
[02:28:26]  Because I sat back and watched, and I don't have much of a filter.
[02:28:29]  I told them they were all retarded, they weren't thinking this through.
[02:28:32]  I had people giving me high fives, claps on the way out, you know, the normal thing from the normal people, you know.
[02:28:39]  But the people that are bought into the system, they probably look at you like you have three eyes, and that's because they're co opted by evil.
[02:28:45]  Yeah.
[02:28:46]  Thank you so much for the call, Tommy.
[02:28:47]  Really appreciate that.
[02:28:48]  Got to get through calls here.
[02:28:49]  Let's go to number three.
[02:28:50]  Let's go to Will in Indiana.
[02:28:51]  He's got a council meeting today trying to stop a data center.
[02:28:54]  Will, your thoughts.
[02:28:56]  Yesterday in central Indiana, the town of Shoveville, they're trying to annex 429 acres into the city from the county.
[02:29:07]  They've already got 112 acres to put up what they started out saying was going to be a 400 to 500 megawatt facility.
[02:29:16]  Now it's going up to 900.
[02:29:18]  Wow.
[02:29:19]  And there's been a lot of resistance here.
[02:29:23]  We've got several thousand in person signatures against it.
[02:29:27]  We've got 7,000 plus.
[02:29:29]  Online signatures against it on a community that's about 20,000 people.
[02:29:34]  And they just keep, they postponed it a few times, just trying to probably cool the air before they come out here.
[02:29:44]  But, you know, a lot of people believe it's a done deal.
[02:29:48]  Hopefully it's not.
[02:29:50]  Are there a lot of people pissed off right now in your town?
[02:29:53]  Are the local people talking about it?
[02:29:55]  Has it been the talk of the town?
[02:29:57]  Yes, it has been the talk of the town.
[02:30:01]  They try to say there's not as much resistance to.
[02:30:04]  Than there is.
[02:30:05]  And of course, it's all been peaceful.
[02:30:06]  We're very, you know, everyone wants everything to go as peacefully as possible.
[02:30:12]  Nobody needs to get upset, you know, at this point.
[02:30:15]  Yeah, but it's like they try to build these giant tombstones around these towns to bury them under the electrical costs, under the grid costs of all of it, under the infrastructure costs.
[02:30:25]  And, you know, we're all rightfully upset.
[02:30:26]  You say in the town of 20,000 people, like 7,000 of them, nearly half have kind of risen up against this and have signed petitions to ban it or get it postponed or whatever.
[02:30:35]  Isn't it crazy to you, Tim, and also to the caller as well?
[02:30:38]  Isn't it crazy that the entire popular will of the people can be against something and it's still just going to get railroaded through?
[02:30:44]  Yeah, I think there has to be some incentives or with the lobbying that's happening here.
[02:30:49]  That's the only equation because how can you, with a good conscience, say that you represent your town or your people and then continue to pass these?
[02:30:57]  Absolutely.
[02:30:58]  Like the previous caller just talked about.
[02:30:59]  Absolutely.
[02:31:00]  Thank you so much, Will in Indiana.
[02:31:01]  Let's go to number five.
[02:31:03]  Another Will.
[02:31:03]  This is going to be Will in Northern Louisiana.
[02:31:06]  Troubling new Amazon data center in Caddo Parish.
[02:31:10]  Tell us about this troubling new data center.
[02:31:13]  Yeah, what's going on, Tim?
[02:31:15]  Rex, my Orthodox brother.
[02:31:17]  Yeah, no, I live here in Caddo Parish, and the amount of poverty here already is crazy.
[02:31:26]  And that's why it's so shocking that there's a data center here.
[02:31:31]  I'm from Texas originally and grew up in Arkansas.
[02:31:36]  And I didn't realize how good I had it in Arkansas because when I moved here two years ago, most of my bills doubled.
[02:31:43]  Anyway, so energy is already really expensive here.
[02:31:47]  The pay is really low here.
[02:31:50]  And it's frightening that there.
[02:31:53]  I actually just found out about this like about a month ago.
[02:31:57]  And I've talked to a lot of my friends in the area.
[02:31:59]  None of them have even heard about this.
[02:32:02]  It was great news when they built an Amazon warehouse here.
[02:32:06]  A couple of years ago, because of the need for good jobs in this area.
[02:32:12]  But I could see people just being ignorant to the effect the data center is going to have on the local economy and just think that it's a good thing.
[02:32:25]  Yeah, I mean, that makes perfect sense.
[02:32:27]  It's like, you know, you hear the word data or you hear the word Amazon or you hear the word meta and you think that it's a good thing inherent.
[02:32:35]  Jobs.
[02:32:36]  Because it's jobs.
[02:32:37]  Also, he's talking about the warehouse and the facilities.
[02:32:39]  But then the data center is like a whole nother thing.
[02:32:41]  And that's the whole reason why we did the deep dive so that people know what's going on.
[02:32:45]  So we appreciate the call.
[02:32:47]  We've only got a little bit of more time and we've got to go to the next caller.
[02:32:50]  Let's go to number seven.
[02:32:53]  Kevin in Indiana, you're on the line here.
[02:32:57]  Data centers are really interesting to watch go up.
[02:33:01]  And I've got a big one here in Lebanon, Indiana.
[02:33:04]  And we're all waiting to see.
[02:33:08]  We appreciate your coverage of all this.
[02:33:10]  Thank you.
[02:33:11]  But we don't know really what to think about all this quick movement.
[02:33:18]  What's it look like going up?
[02:33:20]  How fast are they building it?
[02:33:22]  How big is this place if you had to estimate in your mind square footage wise?
[02:33:26]  15,000.
[02:33:28]  I'm sorry.
[02:33:28]  I think it's a 1,500 acre site.
[02:33:31]  It's called the Indiana LEED Project.
[02:33:35]  And at the Meta Center, Metadata, and it's big.
[02:33:39]  They, from my house, I'm about four miles away.
[02:33:43]  And at night, they're working 24 7.
[02:33:46]  And the sky is a big glow, like there was a Super Bowl game.
[02:33:53]  And they're just constantly going at it.
[02:33:55]  There's about 1,000 pieces of earth moving equipment.
[02:33:58]  It's big.
[02:33:59]  It's going to be none of the colossus.
[02:34:03]  Oh, you know what?
[02:34:04]  This is the same data center that we were talking about on the deep dive where Meta was only going to be paying 50% of the cost.
[02:34:11]  This was the thing that we were getting pissed off about.
[02:34:14]  And for you, Kevin, you and the surrounding people, because you're only four miles away, you might be subsidizing some of those costs without realizing it.
[02:34:24]  Have you thought about that?
[02:34:25]  Have people been talking about that?
[02:34:27]  Has anyone in your town let you guys know or made you guys aware?
[02:34:33]  Yeah, it's beginning to get like in Grapevine, Texas or Granberry, Texas, where the people are getting, you know, saying, I'm getting sick.
[02:34:41]  You know, they're doing this all the time.
[02:34:43]  And, you know, just the activity is making them nervous.
[02:34:47]  But when this thing comes online, what's it going to be?
[02:34:49]  Is it going to be like a Frankenstein laying out there in the dirt?
[02:34:52]  Is it going to be controlling who knows what?
[02:34:56]  It's scary.
[02:34:58]  Yeah.
[02:34:58]  Well, it's the new priority.
[02:35:00]  That's the problem.
[02:35:01]  It used to be the priority was the town or the city and the people that lived in it and the businesses relating to it, even the Amazon Fulfillment Center.
[02:35:07]  Like you say, that's not a temporary thing where the jobs are going to go away.
[02:35:10]  You need people to help with the robots and the boxes and whatnot.
[02:35:13]  But with this, it's literally a tombstone.
