Donald Trump has announced a ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran to take effect in a matter of hours. | ||
Now, initially, when he posted this on truth, there was some conflicting information, but it does seem as the dust settles, numerous outlets are now reporting that Iranian officials have confirmed they have a ceasefire between the U.S. and Israel. | ||
This coming just after Iran launched missiles at a U.S. base, nobody was injured. | ||
But should this prove to hold, if Donald Trump was able to pull this off, I will just say the man has a tremendous victory right now. | ||
So let us all just hope and pray the ceasefire sticks, the shooting stops, and this is the effective end of the war, to which Trump is calling the 12-day war. | ||
If, however, one of these factions escalates conflict and begins shooting, it will be a disaster. | ||
But I am not here to earn points. | ||
I am not here to try and be proven right. | ||
I am simply here to say, let us hope Trump is victorious in this. | ||
I personally not a fan of the strikes in Iran. | ||
But if the ceasefire is now and this does not escalate, we are in a good spot. | ||
Let's all hope for that. | ||
I know there are a lot of bad people out there hoping that Trump fails, but for the sake of the world, let's put that aside right now and say, let's hope this sticks. | ||
So we're going to talk about that. | ||
We've got a bunch of other news. | ||
Trump just won a massive Supreme Court ruling, allowing him to pick back up on deportations. | ||
And ladies and gentlemen, I predicted this. | ||
MSNBC is now defending Donald Trump because war sells, baby. | ||
And when you're a president and you engage in warfare, all the pundit class are going to clap and cheer. | ||
You know why? | ||
Well, partly because they're deep state cronies, but also because their ratings go up. | ||
And they love to see their cost per view or their CPM skyrocketing. | ||
So Trump's always doing a good job when you're blowing stuff up. | ||
It looks like this may be working out pretty well. | ||
And Trump is going to be receiving a lot of praise if this proves to be the end of the war, meaning he was able to take out Iran's nuclear program or at least seriously hinder it without a dramatic escalation. | ||
So we're going to get into all that, my friends. | ||
Before we do, we got a great sponsor. | ||
We got AMAC. | ||
My friends, check out AMAC. | ||
Let's be real. | ||
Things are changing fast. | ||
And whether you lean right, libertarian, or you're just sick of the corporate media lying to you, you probably noticed something. | ||
Trump's first five months back in office are delivering results. | ||
This is an understatement if this sticks. | ||
The border being enforced, deportations happening, woke policy is getting dismantled. | ||
The military finally being rebuilt in the right way. | ||
It's a huge shift, but it's also a battle, and Trump can't fight alone. | ||
This is where you come in. | ||

All people have been calling in. | ||
It's popping off. | ||

A lot of fun. | ||
So thank you, everyone, watching and calling in. | ||
YouTube's got that raid function. | ||
They kind of have it under the radar, but they just send people over to your show. | ||
It's awesome. | ||
And it's so incredible. | ||
And they talk about Sasquatch. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Phil's hanging out. | ||
Everybody wants to talk about Sasquatch. | ||
Hello, everybody. | ||
My name is Phil Abante. | ||
I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. | ||
I'm an anti-communist and a counterrevolutionary. | ||
Let's get into it. | ||
Here's the story from Politico. | ||
Trump announces Israel-Iran ceasefire. | ||
The announcement comes after the U.S. waited into the 12-day conflict over the weekend. | ||
They say Trump in a post on Truth Social said the ceasefire will take effect just after midnight on the east coast of the United States, with the war slated to officially end 12 hours later. | ||
Quote, this is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will. | ||
Neither Israel nor Iran immediately confirmed Trump's announcement that they had agreed to a ceasefire. | ||
Both countries have been indirectly fighting since the October 7th attacks against Israel by Tehran-backed militant groups. | ||
I'm sorry, Tehran-backed Palestinian militant groups in Hamas. | ||
And they have traded direct fire intermittently since 2024. | ||
But after Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities earlier this month, the two longtime Middle East adversaries have launched volleys of drones and missiles against each other. | ||
Now, it is being confirmed by Reuters that a senior official said that they have agreed to a ceasefire. | ||
We have this from Trey Yingst, a Fox News diplomat briefed on the ceasefire, talks to Fox News, saying President Trump spoke with Qatar's emir and informed him the U.S. got Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Iran. | ||
The president asked Qatar to help persuade Iran to do the same. | ||
Following that, Vice President Vance coordinated with Qatar's prime minister on the details. | ||
This effort proved successful. | ||
And following discussions with the Qatari PM, the Iranians agreed. | ||
The deal was coordinated at the highest level by the president and vice president and the Qatari Emir and Prime Minister directly. | ||
Despite having been attacked just hours earlier, the Qatari set aside their grievances and prioritized regional security to get the deal done. | ||
So just before this announcement, actually a couple hours before, videos emerged of Iran launching ballistic missiles at Qatar targeting the U.S. base. | ||
Should this prove to hold, I just got to say Trump, he's hit a grand slam with this one. | ||
If the war officially ends, he can say that it's a war powers resolution. | ||
He's allowed to take military action. | ||
No further military action is needed. | ||
We have a ceasefire. | ||
If within the next 12 hours the fighting has stopped, Trump's got a tremendous historic victory. | ||
Libertarians are going to be most affected, I think. | ||
They're going to be very, very upset that this happened and that the sky didn't fall. | ||
It didn't expand into a wider war. | ||
It was just a strike. | ||
And Iran was like, well, we're not really in a position to do anything about this, are we? | ||
And took the actual self-preservation route. | ||
Why are they mad? | ||
Because they wanted to see this disintegrate? | ||
Well, because they were all predicting that there was going to be a massive upheaval in the Middle East. | ||
It'll turn into a broader war. | ||
It'll turn into World War III, blah, blah, blah. | ||
But you look around and it speaks to actually the realistic conditions of the international rivals the U.S. has. | ||
Russia doesn't have the ability to take on the U.S. They can't take on the Ukraine, right? | ||
Like they can't handle Ukraine. | ||
They're not going to be able to take on the U.S. So they're not going to really step in to help Iran. | ||
Same thing with China. | ||
China has a significant incentive to keep the status quo, particularly in the straight ohms, because they get like, you know, half their oil or whatever. | ||
They had to do tons of business there. | ||
So China was just like, no, you're not shutting down the straight oh removes. | ||
They had no friends at all and no one was there to support them. | ||
So I think that that speaks to this. | ||
Trump's joked for peace. | ||
Yeah. | ||
There's peace. | ||
I do leave it to Trump to start already branding a war. | ||
Like he's already named it. | ||
He loves war. | ||
There's a lot in this guy. | ||
It wasn't a war. | ||
And a ceasefire doesn't mean a peace agreement. | ||
Sometimes when you're in a war, you'll call a ceasefire for a short period and then you'll go back to fighting. | ||
So it doesn't mean, but there never was a war to call a peace agreement for anyway. | ||
They fired, what, like 13 or 14 missiles into Qatar, and all but one of them were shot down. | ||
One of the missiles was errant, so they just let it go. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Where's that going on? | ||
I personally don't trust anything coming out of this administration at the moment. | ||
They just sneak attacked Iran. | ||
I imagine they're going to do it again. | ||
But, you know, like you said, their face is on the ground. | ||
They're being stomped on. | ||
Their bones are breaking. | ||
They have no choice but to. | ||
How many people live in Iran, Ian? | ||
What's that? | ||
How many people live in Iran? | ||
I think there's 92 million, but I haven't done the research. | ||
I haven't done the research. | ||
I respect what you are saying, Ian. | ||
The Trump administration, this is where I'm cautious. | ||
They have made a lot of comments about negotiating peace, negotiating good faith, while they were actually orchestrating a sneak attack on Iran. | ||
Now, if it weren't for the subsequent reporting from numerous individuals involved that there was a ceasefire, initially I was skeptical. | ||
It's like, I don't believe it. | ||
Trump announces they got a ceasefire, and then if Iran keeps attacking, it's Iran that becomes the aggressor. | ||
However, it does look like Trump is trying to avoid escalation in the region and just wanted to take out as much of their nuclear enrichment as possible. | ||
I don't know that they did, like if you want to argue efficacy, there's a lot of people saying 900 pounds of uranium is missing. | ||
What did they actually do? | ||
It's like, well, you know, they did what they could in terms of that agenda item. | ||
The argument here is that Trump has, under the War Powers Act, it's an old bill. | ||
If there's an imminent threat, he can order a military strike. | ||
Within 60 days, he must stop and ask Congress for approval to continue. | ||
If this does end, I mean, Trump, he did it. | ||
I will say this to everybody because they were like, Tim, you were saying it was going to escalate. | ||
I have no problem being wrong. | ||
I'm not going to sit here and be like, here's why Trump is actually going to screw up. | ||
No, no, I'm stoked. | ||
Holy crap, I'd love to be wrong. | ||
I was worried AF that this was going to escalate. | ||
If Trump really did just pull it off, I apologize for doubting the man. | ||
I know that parents, mothers in particular, are thrilled that Iran will not have nuclear weapons. | ||
So, you know, moms for the most part, I would say, probably don't understand Middle East policy and what's going on over there, but they have concerns as parents. | ||
And one of those things is a nuclear Iran. | ||
I mean, that's a very big possibility. | ||
And so I didn't hear a lot of pushback from the mom community when we went in and took out those nuclear facilities. | ||
What concerns me, though, is this idea here here, Lend-Lease, the Lend-Lease program. | ||
the Americans were given the British weapons before World War II, but they couldn't sell them because they would have been violating, you know, some, some shit. | ||
The Lend-Lease was a program between the Americans and the British where the Americans were giving the, they were giving it to a lot of people, but the British, particularly, they're giving them weapons. | ||
And then they were like, you just pay us back later. | ||
So someone could give the Iranians a nuclear weapon and be like, just pay us later. | ||
Like, they don't have to make it. | ||
They can get one. | ||
They can receive one also. | ||
So we need to strengthen our diplomatic ties with the Chinese, the Russians, and the Indians right now, particularly, because they don't want a nuclear Iran. | ||
Nobody wants it, I don't think, except for these Moolahs. | ||
If nobody wants a nuclear Iran, who's going to give them the nuclear bomb? | ||
I know. | ||
Maybe because Putin won't always be in power. | ||
And if some crazy guy gets it after Putin. | ||
The president of Russia, I think, said he was going to help them and that happened. | ||
Or that other countries were rushing in. | ||
North Korea, of course, but he's also on good terms with Trump. | ||
So I think that I look, I want, I was going to say regime change. | ||
How can I say this so that I find theocracy even more dangerous than monarchy? | ||
I want regime change. | ||
I do. | ||
In Iran. | ||
I just don't want to be involved in whatever that means. | ||
And I want it to be peaceful. | ||
I would love for it to be problematic. | ||
They set it down. | ||
Another organization picks it up if possible. | ||
It looks like that's what they're about to do. | ||
And they're just like install some sort of like go targeted assassinations on Iran. | ||
That would mean the war is not over. | ||
Where has there ever been a peaceful regime change except in a democratically elected in a somewhat democratic country, but in a place like Iran? | ||
In Iran, in 79, it was relatively peaceful. | ||
It only lasted about six months, the revolution, maybe four months on six months. | ||
Didn't a tyrant take over? | ||
I mean, isn't that what got us into this situation? | ||
But it wasn't really bloody. | ||
The king at the time didn't fight back, and everyone was like, why aren't you stopping the rebellion? | ||
And he was just like sitting in his castle, not fighting it. | ||
And so they deposed him. | ||
And it was relatively peaceful as revolutions for his country that size. | ||
And it could happen again. | ||
And what I think you're saying is that, I mean, they can change, but I don't want to be involved in it. | ||
Like all the coups we've done around, whether it's Guatemala or Iran again, you know, I don't want that to happen. | ||
They can do whatever they want. | ||
The thing is, the Shah's son, who's in America right now, is the most likely candidate to be installed as the king of Iran. | ||
And we would definitely, because he's in America, we would somehow be involved with putting him up in the position. | ||
The issue with regime change nowadays compared to even 20 or 30 years ago is the internet and the speed of communications. | ||
So a couple hundred years ago, you wanted regime change? | ||
You literally need only stand in a building. | ||
You'd be standing in the building, sitting on the throne, being like, we're in charge now. | ||
And if the king was in exile, then people didn't listen. | ||
So you take a look at even 100 years ago, how these revolutions took place, and it was just like we've stormed the building and a thousand people surrounded it. | ||
And now the entire country of millions of people has a new form of government. | ||
These days, there's digital communications. | ||
And you saw that in France in World War II, because the French, Paris was taken over. | ||
500 years ago, entire country of France would have served the Germans, but half of France split off because Charles de Gaulle went into exile in England and was able to kind of lead this resistance via telephone. | ||
And now we've got the internet. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So if, say, a group of people were to like storm the Capitol, like during the counting of the electoral vote, and they stood in that building, literally nothing would happen. | ||
The president doesn't change. | ||
Nobody loses or gains control. | ||
Occupying the building and controlling the force there changes nothing. | ||
That's why I always wondered about the term insurrection. | ||
It never really made sense to me on what happened that day. | ||
High stakes, king of the hill. | ||
That's all it was. | ||
That's why insurrection is the wrong term for what happened on January 6th. | ||
I would say insurrection in Portland, as it is applied legally, in that local laws are not being followed, that is a legal insurrection for which the president can invoke the Insurrection Act and call on the National Guard to go shut down those riots. | ||
Yeah, the police led the J-Sixers in. | ||
I saw that video of them actually giving them a nice tour, unlike in Portland and other places where they took over streets and set up camp ceilings and some entrances had a different dynamic, right? | ||
Those people were Antifa and red hats. | ||
I want to say for the record, since there's 100 million people listening or whatever it is, I do want regime change in Iran in a peaceful manner in some sort. | ||
And I'm very happy with this announcement of a ceasefire. | ||
Although I said I don't believe anything coming out of their mouths, I'm very happy to hear it, regardless. | ||
I think it's a very good diplomatic move. | ||
I know that Putin at first was like, I think we're going to help Iran. | ||
We might help them get a nuke. | ||
At least this is what I was reading these reports. | ||
And then later he's like, actually, we're just diplomatic. | ||
It wasn't Medvedev. | ||
Oh, yeah, it was. | ||
Medvedev. | ||
And then they kind of walked it back and they're like, we're going to help diplomatically. | ||
They just wanted to solve the problem. | ||
They don't want to blow stuff up. | ||
And bringing it back to moms real quick, I don't really care all that much about the nukes, honestly. | ||
I care more about sending our children to war. | ||
The possibility of this when it was possibly escalating, and it still could, and sending kids to war. | ||
Yeah, look, I have two sons, 24 and 17, so they're both ideal candidates. | ||
Yeah, if there was some kind of draft, but I still, personally, I can't speak for my, you know, all 130,000 Moms for Liberty members at the moment, but personally, I still support what happened. | ||
I, you know, that photo, it's not up right now, but the photo of President Trump walking out with Marco Rubio behind him, and you know what I'm talking about was really, well, that's part of it, but you see Pete Hugseth even behind that. | ||
You see all four or five of them standing there. | ||
I just, I kept going back to that photo and just looking at these men that I feel like we've gotten to know over the last few years. | ||
These are good men that I know of. | ||
You know, I've met their spouses. | ||
I feel like I have some familiarity with them. | ||
And to see the looks on their faces, they knew what decisions they were making. | ||
They knew there was some risk, even if there was calculated and risk and they felt like it was in the right direction. | ||
And I just am, you know, I'm thankful for them. | ||
I'm thankful that they are making the hard choices and leading the way. | ||
Well, it is the suburban mom that won Trump the election. | ||
we can always point to a different demographic and say they're the ones. | ||
But what we know is that Trump was trailing among suburban moms in 2020, and then they shifted rightwards in 2024. | ||
I think the gender issue played a large role in that. | ||
If you're going to give me a second to talk about it, I'd be glad to talk about what we did. | ||
And we did it for swing states, Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. | ||
We focused in on about 200,000, 250,000 women that hadn't really voted in four years in those states, and we went and targeted them for six to seven months. | ||
Hyper-local issues. | ||
Mr. Jones, in your local school down the streets wearing a dress in the fifth grade class, did you know? | ||
Make sure you vote up and down the ballot against people that are supporting this. | ||
Make sure you know that the Biden administration rewrote Title IX to allow this in that school. | ||
We sent them texts. | ||
We handwrote postcards, thousands and thousands of handwritten postcards, knocking doors, all those things. | ||
Long story short, in those four states, we turned out an average of 93% of those women, about 200,025,000 in each state. | ||
That's over 800,000 women that wouldn't have traditionally voted in an election turned out to vote. | ||
I think angry moms definitely helped win. | ||
I mean, you saw everything that happened during lockdowns with kids. | ||
Oh, they were married. | ||
Foreclosures and all that stuff. | ||
Where were you in the past few years? | ||
Were you always a Trump supporter? | ||
I have voted for Trump traditionally, but I'll admit in 2016, I walked into that voting booth not going to vote for him. | ||
You have to leave the show now. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
I'm sorry. | ||
I didn't even vote that year. | ||
Oh, then what do you got to say about me? | ||
I stood there and I was going to go third party. | ||
And this is a little bit of a crazy story. | ||
The only other time I voted third party was the Bush Gore election. | ||
And I sat up all night like, I'm the reason. | ||
I'm the reason this is happening because I didn't vote for Bush. | ||
It's my fault. | ||
I personally felt like, oh, you know, we went through the hanging Chads because of me. | ||
And so I told myself that night I would never do third party. | ||
I kept thinking about that and I wasn't going to vote for Hillary Clinton. | ||
And so I ended up voting for him. | ||
But it's been an interesting road. | ||
I wasn't always the loyalist that I am now. | ||
Do you find that, I don't know, moms view him as icky? | ||
Less and less. | ||
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
Yeah. | ||
Because he's chilled out. | ||
Why do you think that is? | ||
Look, he campaigned on several things that had to do with Moms for Liberty issues, the overreach of government, what they, you know, they saw what the Biden administration did to parents that were just standing up trying to protect their children. | ||
He stood on that issue. | ||
He stood on the issue of keeping boys out of women's sports. | ||
He understands what's going on in education, and he has listened to us on those. | ||
And he came right out the gate as soon as he took office and executive order after executive order after executive. | ||
I mean, going in. | ||
Look, we are just women. | ||
We're strong, independent women. | ||
But to see someone stand up for the issues that has the power to do something about it and to see him stand there and do that on our behalf to protect our children, he's got our support hands down. | ||
Women are coming over left and right because of that. | ||
Do you think Melania is a huge influence on that? | ||
Because I'm just starting to think maybe she's like really morally pushing, like helping him. | ||
Of course. | ||
Of course, behind every man, there is a good woman. | ||
I wish she was more vocal in the world. | ||
I've thought that since the beginning. | ||
I mean, she's doing what she can. | ||
I think she's a little self-conscious because English is her second language or not her first language. | ||
At least I think she might have said stuff like that in her early days. | ||
Her fourth language. | ||
Yeah, she speaks like five languages. | ||
Genius. | ||
A genius woman. | ||
I'm sure she's self-conscious that she speaks five languages fluently. | ||
Oh, my gosh. | ||
She's amazing is what I'm trying to say. | ||
And I agree. | ||
Tim, you were about to ask a question, too. | ||
No, no. | ||
Oh, yeah, yeah. | ||
Melania is kind of an unsung hero over the last decade in a lot of ways. | ||
She's very grounded. | ||
What happened to Democrats? | ||
Did you lost their freaking mind? | ||
No, I've never been a Democrat, but I will say a good portion of our organization are former Democrats. | ||
We even have some Democrats, which, you know, the left and the newspaper would never, or the news, mainstream media would never tell you that. | ||
I think I was telling you the other day that we were in a, I was in a meeting in Ohio with my chapter leaders from the state. | ||
Half of the room had voted for Obama. | ||
And so they're coming over because they don't like what's happening to their team. | ||
What do they tell you? | ||
What do they tell you when they come in and they're like, oh, you know, I didn't, because you know they're apprehensive. | ||
You know there's a lot of stigma that goes along with it. | ||
What do they tell you when they come in? | ||
Well, the first one said it. | ||
I can't remember how the conversation started, but the first one said it when we were in a group setting and the other started poking fun at her. | ||
And then one said to the other, like, you can't laugh at me. | ||
You voted for Obama and then you voted for Obama. | ||
And before you knew it, I was like, okay, raise your hands if you voted for Obama. | ||
And it was half the room. | ||
And, you know, a lot of them just said he seemed hopeful. | ||
You know, they didn't follow politics. | ||
They didn't vote in local elections, no idea who their local elected leaders are. | ||
But they looked at Obama as someone who was offering hope and change, just like he said. | ||
And so it was an easy cast for them. | ||
And again, this is more of an anecdotal question or a question than just getting your personal opinion. | ||
Do you think women are voting? | ||
Because like you said, they felt hope when they saw Obama. | ||
Do you think that the women are voting less with their emotions and more with their brain, their thinking? | ||
Or is it that Trump is appealing more to their emotions? | ||
Trump is appealing to their emotions. | ||
He's standing up for their children. | ||
They're seeing what's happening in education in America. | ||
They know, and I will say on a good part of Moms for Liberty pushing the information out there that only a third of kids in America can read on grade level. | ||
I think that's starting to become public knowledge. | ||
A third. | ||
That's terrible for national security. | ||
That's terrible for the future of these children. | ||
They're screwed. | ||
Economically, it is terrible. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Not just that, but there's these viral posts where teachers are saying like their kids can't read. | ||
Their kids can't type. | ||
The kids are completely disinterested in whatever they're doing. | ||
All they want to do is get on TikTok and just keep swiping. | ||
Like attention span has gone to zero and they'll see two seconds of something and they're bored, bored, bored. | ||
And so when it comes to writing, they just use Chat GPT, submit it, and then say inshrug. | ||
I wonder if that takes into account the homeschooling spike. | ||
Oh, of course. | ||
Church recently, we celebrate all the kids who graduated high school. | ||
30 kids, all of them homeschooled. | ||
No one went to public school. | ||
And these kids talk like better than me. | ||
They're smarter than me. | ||
And they had a great schooling. | ||
So I wonder if we're watching the public schools totally fail, but the homeschooling is really taking off. | ||
Especially since COVID, when the schools shut down and teachers union thought, I'm not going to open a school until you defund the police and all of their nonsense. | ||
I mean, parents had no choice but to start homeschooling or their kids were going to fall behind dramatically. | ||
Of course, you see those numbers growing. | ||
And like, you think that I think the public school system is still working off the antiquated 20th century model, pretending like AI doesn't exist. | ||
And then the kids go home and they use AI to finish their homework. | ||
And the teachers are like, that's frying their brains. | ||
But the moms of the kids are sitting there with them, like, what, did you use ChatGPT again? | ||
Let me just tell you the scary thing about this is that we got the Switch 2, you know, the Nintendo Switch 2. And you can get Nintendo and GameCube and SSAS. | ||
So I went online and I downloaded the app so you can play their library of Nintendo games. | ||
They don't have that many, but there's a lot. | ||
And I was playing the game Crystalis. | ||
Love that game, dude. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Love that game. | ||
So good. | ||
Now, let me tell you why this matters. | ||
Because I used ChatGPT because I'm like stock in the beginning. | ||
What do I do? | ||
So I typed in ChatGPT. | ||
How do I, you know, do this thing? | ||
Total example. | ||
What do I do with the charistal plant? | ||
It fabricated this huge walkthrough for the game that included characters that didn't exist in the game. | ||
And I knew, I've played the game 800 times when I was a kid and I was playing it again, but I can't remember what to do with this thing. | ||
And I'm like, this is completely fabricated and made up. | ||
Completely. | ||
And it's only because I knew certain, it was like, go south of this one town. | ||
I'm like, there's no south of that town. | ||
So these kids are going to be in school and they're going to be like, write me, you know, an essay on Christopher Columbus discovering America and it's going to put fake names in. | ||
Or there was that, as a total aside, that lawyer, I think this happened more than once, who had ChatGPT draft his whole legal argument and it created fake case citation precedent. | ||
So a few things there. | ||
One, the Christopher Columbus thing you just touched on as a passing story, but worse, it could even say what's actually in the textbooks right now, which say Christopher Columbus is a war criminal and worse. | ||
And so I bet you ChatGPT is going to pull up all the anti-American rhetoric and feed it in, just as the textbooks are now. | ||
And number two, it's not just the kids with this AI. | ||
So my 17-year-old, they have a policy in my school district, the kids can't use AI for papers. | ||
And at least my son says he doesn't use AI because he thinks the teachers put it in the AI checker and he'll get caught. | ||
Not saying he doesn't ever do it, but he says he doesn't. | ||
But he got really upset last year because his paper was graded with AI. | ||
And he came home so mad and he said, I can't use AI to write it. | ||
Why does she get to use AI to grade it? | ||
And I was like, well, how do you really know? | ||
He said, Mom, look at this. | ||
There's no feedback on my writing. | ||
It's literally these captioned things from AI. | ||
I can tell. | ||
And then I threw it in the AI checker and it told me it was AI. | ||
And then what if the AI is wrong? | ||
Yeah, it's teaching him wrong. | ||
And the teacher has no idea if he's writing or if he's not, what he needs to help with or anything. | ||
It's so messed up. | ||
And you know where it gets worse? | ||
When these kids use AI to write an essay and then post the essay somewhere online in some way the AI can use it, the AI writing gets re-ingested into its own training model. | ||
It's like those pictures, they're like, reprint this picture a thousand times. | ||
You ever see them and they slowly morph into this demon? | ||
Same thing with you. | ||
I was going to ask, oh, what's the AI checker that you mentioned? | ||
I have no idea. | ||
I can ask my 17-year-old and let you know. | ||
Sounds like a good piece of technology for the coming days. | ||
I think we're totally screwed. | ||
I don't think I can trust the AI checker. | ||
Protect itself. | ||
I was talking to this guy, pro skateboarder. | ||
You'd think he wouldn't be a prize to a lot of stuff, but he asked me if I'd ever read about the fourth turning. | ||
And I was like, oh boy, how much time do you got? | ||
And so we talked a bit about it. | ||
And this is just a guy who skates. | ||
He's not a big political guy or anything like that. | ||
People are starting to learn. | ||
Are you familiar with the fourth turning? | ||
I am not. | ||
Strawshow generational theory is that every four generations you have some kind of crisis period and there's a there's a bunch of ways you can break it down i'll over overly simplify it so 80 years ago we had the world wars 80 years before that the civil war 80 years before that the revolution there was conflict 80 years before that it keeps going the general idea is that after the world war the people who fought and survived are just brutalized and so they're carved out of stone they're not bothered they don't care for things like wokeness and they're just like sit down shut up and do the work you know being having | ||
a job is not the worst thing you've ever done with so they raise kids we're 80 years after world war ii aren't right so they raise kids off the lessons of world war ii and those kids uh you know they start working and they have a general idea then they have kids and those kids yeah they heard stories from their grandparents but they don't really know and then finally the fourth generation is a bunch of lazy entitled wackaloons that are soft as cookie dough causing instability in politics which results in some kind of chaotic moment | ||
well you know one of the things that has kept me sane is listening to my father talk about the horrors of vietnam growing up he would constantly he served in the navy during vietnam on a peacekeeping tour you know in germany but just to to and to watch just to see the horror to know because when you get generations detached from it it's very easy to treat like a video game and that's where we are now where kids need safe i mean we're talking about in the past 10 years colleges universities creating safe spaces for | ||
lectures where if someone was triggered by something a professor was saying they could go into a fluffy room with stuffed animals and pastel colors playing nursery rhymes i'm not exaggerating this guy alex homel you guys know this guy he he bare climbs with his bare fingers honold alex honold he's done joe rogan show he he climbs mountains with his bare fingers like hangs free climbing yeah yeah and he's like the best skyscrapers no no he's like the best free climber on earth not that i know of and he said everyone should when was the last time you've been really afraid like really afraid | ||
really afraid for your life because people should feel like that otherwise they're going to start to be afraid of stupid shit yeah that's what kind of aligns with what you're saying that's where we're currently at and it's not so much about being afraid of dumb things it's about entitlement that you know what a lot of these these young people were experiencing is the worst thing actually i'll put it this way my baby was crying today and we're trying to console her and she had a burp it's literally the worst thing she has ever experienced in her life she's four months yeah and so | ||
her her distress is legitimate but needs to be tempered i mean if you've never felt pain before you're like what's happening so what happens to these these millennials largely is they've had zero hardship snow plow parents they've never the it's you get a trophy no matter what, even if you don't win. | ||
No one's a bully. | ||
No one, everyone's got to hold hands and sing. | ||
And then you enter the real world and you walk down the street and someone screams at you, dumbass, and you go, and it's like literally the emotional pain of being insulted is the worst thing you've ever experienced. | ||
It makes me think that we should treat these people like you're four-month-old going through a burp. | ||
Like it is that painful. | ||
At the very least, we shouldn't. | ||
We're nice to them. | ||
We shouldn't bend the knee to every demand they make. | ||
And I don't mean treat them like a baby. | ||
I mean, have the compassion for the human as if it really is genuine pain, even though to us or to you, it might seem like ridiculous. | ||
No. | ||
The point is to understand. | ||
The baby was screaming like the apocalypse was happening, and then she went, and that was it. | ||
And then she smiled. | ||
And it's like that's so I understand for the baby who can't burp, there's this is not just a trivial problem. | ||
But for a 40-year-old, for a millennial working in government who is crying over burping, we've got a problem. | ||
The bigger problem is, I mean, that's an absolute problem, and I agree with you. | ||
But what's happening in schools right now in the youngest grades all the way through high school is they're infusing social-emotional learning. | ||
I'm not sure how familiar you are with it. | ||
You're basically having security and safety circles where you sit around and talk about your feelings at the youngest age and make sure everybody's comfortable. | ||
And you spend more time on that than learning how to read. | ||
And so we're actually developing children to be this way, even as adults. | ||
We will come back to this, but I do want to get back to the war because we do have some news here. | ||
This is from, I believe this is from the Telegraph. | ||
Fears over Iran's missing 400 kilograms of uranium. | ||
And that's if we just believe the reports. | ||
But we have this satellite image from Fordo showing what appears to be, I think, 16 trucks. | ||
I could be wrong. | ||
There may be another one I missed. | ||
Now the reports are that two days before the strikes, they were able to get all of the fissile material out of these facilities and then spread them out to who knows where. | ||
J.D. Vance is asked about this and he says, we are not so concerned about their 60% enriched uranium. | ||
We were concerned if they were going to continue enriching upwards of 90%, and we have taken away their ability to do that. | ||
That being said, there are many people who are deeply concerned. | ||
This is not over. | ||
Iran may agree to a ceasefire, but what happens if they start dispatching even 60% uranium to various rep, like the Houthis or other terrorist insurgent groups in the region, and then we see some random armed insurgent group making threats and making demands, but armed now with a dirty bomb? | ||
Well, I mean, I imagine this is something that the administration has on their radar. | ||
And I feel like it's the same result. | ||
Like if you give, if Iran were to give nuclear material to someone like the Houthis or whatever, like the U.S. is going to find, is going to know where it came from. | ||
There's not a whole lot of places where this could come from. | ||
You don't think so? | ||
Why not? | ||
17, let's say 16 trucks. | ||
We don't know which one was loaded with what. | ||
Those 16 trucks drive off in different directions and go into a big facility where 16 more trucks drive out. | ||
Those 16 trucks then drive across various borders into various countries through Pakistan, through India, through into Russia, into China. | ||
And now whatever was there is mixed around with whatever was in the other regions before. | ||
It just adds to the mix. | ||
And we're not going to know where it came from, whose it was. | ||
I mean, I'm sure that they'll, you know, I'm sure they'll claim this has all the signatures of Iranians. | ||
Using that kind of stuff still is such high risk. | ||
Like, what's the benefit? | ||
Because you're not going to just, you're only, you're going to terrorize people, right? | ||
But like, that's what policy are they trying to get the U.S. to change? | ||
Why did the Houthis start bombing tanker vessels in the Red Sea? | ||
Because of the war in Gaza, right? | ||
Uh-huh. | ||
And so if an ideologically driven group is screaming a genocide is occurring and they go from having short-range missiles and RPGs to dirty bombs and enriched uranium, then it's not going to be a short-range missile strike on a tanker. | ||
I can't imagine them actually using dirty bombs in Israel just because the goal is like they want the Red Sea. | ||
In the Red Sea. | ||
So just out of tankers and stuff? | ||
I mean, if they dropped only a couple dirty bombs, like we're talking small, low amounts of uranium, but enough to irradiate the passage, you can shut down a chunk of global trade. | ||
And what happens if they come out and say, we are here by, we have strategically placed dirty bombs around the area, and we are demanding that Israel surrender and leave immediately. | ||
Otherwise, we will detonate them and shut down the Red Sea. | ||
Then what do you do? | ||
Sure, you can start striking where you believe they are, but we're talking like weird mission impossible-esque missions to locate and shut down dirty bombs. | ||
Are you guys, do you know what the types, like what are dirty bomb status right now? | ||
I haven't researched it. | ||
Dirty bomb is a general term for a, or they can call them suitcase nukes. | ||
Basically, it's a hodgepodge of nuclear fissile material in a bomb of varying yield. | ||
They're small, but when they go off, they can irradiate small, small portions, like areas of cities or city blocks. | ||
It's like a conventional bomb that spreads out the nuclear waste, basically. | ||
It could be. | ||
It could be. | ||
It could be a low-yield nuclear bomb, but likely with enriched uranium, conventional bomb that's going to irradiate. | ||
And then what happens if that blows up in an urban area? | ||
You could be dealing with decontamination efforts for years. | ||
That's the fear of... | ||
It's like, no, they won't. | ||
They're going to use it as leverage. | ||
And they're going to say, we can play ball. | ||
The bigger fear is when they start passing it off to Hamas. | ||
And then Hamas detonates a dirty bomb at the Rafah crossing or something. | ||
I see where their fear is of the bomb because it's like North Korea. | ||
Hey, man, whatever you think, they got a big bomb. | ||
They got multiple bombs. | ||
I don't know how they got them either from the Soviets, maybe? | ||
But that country, you can't really tangle with that country militarily because they'll just launch, I would imagine. | ||
They're just like, North Korea? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah, but they have nukes, but they're just like real dumb. | ||
The nukes themselves? | ||
Like, their weaponry is particularly ineffective. | ||
It's there. | ||
It exists. | ||
There's concerns. | ||
The bigger problem with North Korea is the proximity of Seoul, South Korea, to North Korea. | ||
They can wipe out Seoul with artillery. | ||
Like, you don't need nuclear weapons. | ||
Like, they just have enough just conventional artillery to kill 30% of the people that live in Seoul. | ||
As an aside, I do need to point out, I think it was Tate who said this. | ||
North Korea, with all of its problems, has a fertility rate of three, and South Korea is 0.6. | ||
So they split the country in half, gave one struggle and torture, and they've, you know, the population is small, but they're growing. | ||
They're trying. | ||
And South Korea was given liberalism, and they're destroying themselves. | ||
I bet they're lying about that number, though. | ||
The North Koreans, I bet they're lying about that number. | ||
I'd be shocked. | ||
You're saying they have three kids per family is what they're. | ||
Are they allowed to use birth control in North Korea? | ||
unidentified
|
Nope. | |
Pretty sure they're not. | ||
Or they don't have access to it. | ||
Because I mean, Young Mee Park, was that her name? | ||
She's been on the show before. | ||
She was a North Korean defector and came on and was like, people starve on the side of the road. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh, yeah. | |
You'll see them laying in. | ||
They're smaller, starving, but there's more of them. | ||
To then say that they're having three kids per family when they're small and starving makes it. | ||
You think they would lie to us about that? | ||
Just because they're. | ||
They said they had a unicorn in a cave. | ||
They're having three kids. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, but I believe they're becoming adults and making kids themselves. | |
You know what I mean? | ||
Like, people die a lot in North Korea. | ||
So, like, they hate. | ||
I didn't want to derail the conversation. | ||
I was just, I thought it was funny what Tate said. | ||
But tell me I'm wrong. | ||
I'd love to be wrong with the spreading of this near 900 pounds of enriched uranium now disappearing. | ||
There's concerns that Iran is just saying, oh, yeah, ceasefire. | ||
The war is over. | ||
You've got a boss loaded up. | ||
Oh, for sure. | ||
That's what I would do. | ||
If I was in charge, I'd be like, I don't trust anything coming out of these guys. | ||
They just sneak attacked our facilities. | ||
Let's prepare. | ||
They overthrew our country in 53. I'd be crazy. | ||
I don't like it at all. | ||
I'd be crazy. | ||
I don't know about you guys. | ||
Why? | ||
How? | ||
Would you guys be crazy? | ||
In what way? | ||
Dude, if someone claimed they had it. | ||
So I understand with law and war, that's totally different things. | ||
But let's just say I'm on a frontier, minding my own business on my property. | ||
I got walls. | ||
And a dude rides up with his posse, and they all got guns, and they said, we are going to come here with artillery, and we are going to level your building because we don't like that you're growing that crop or whatever. | ||
And I'm like, bro, get out of here. | ||
Who are you? | ||
That sounds like the South. | ||
If they then came and started bombing my property, I would be like, the only thing you will get is blood and dirt from coming to my land. | ||
So I'm saying my fear in this is that Iran is going to be, I wouldn't call it irrational. | ||
I would call it ideological. | ||
The idea of being a rational actor is if we bomb Iran and they think they'll die, will they back off? | ||
Sure, but you can rationally say we will send, like you will. | ||
Hey, Donald Trump, you can't play chicken with. | ||
Iran, do you want to play chicken with Donald Trump? | ||
You will lose. | ||
Trump's going to be like, I'll press the button. | ||
And if it was, don't press it. | ||
If it was like just the Ayatollah, he might sacrifice himself and they'd come and take it. | ||
But he's got 90 million people he's taken care of. | ||
So I don't think he would, I don't think he would throw 90 million people away in some grand sacrifice. | ||
I mean, dude, it's a theocracy. | ||
To get all of Islam to attack the rest of the world. | ||
Yes, 72 virgins await you in heaven to war. | ||
He's like 80 or something to say. | ||
That's a belief system, but why wouldn't he do that? | ||
They think it's good to die for the cause. | ||
And they may be saying like the great evil is taking over and they are destroying us. | ||
We will not lay down. | ||
I mean, they previously said Iran will never surrender. | ||
Now they're saying there's a ceasefire. | ||
So my fear in all this is that that uranium ain't going anywhere and they're going to continue working. | ||
I worry about sleeper cells or people pretending to be sleeper cells. | ||
People were talking about like if we do something in Iran, then they will activate sleeper cells without acknowledging the fact that having sleeper cells in the United States at all is unacceptable. | ||
Just the fact that Iran would send sleeper cells is in and of itself an act of war. | ||
I mean, a lot of them have done it before. | ||
There's been sleeper cells here for decades. | ||
Yeah, I mean, from like Russia and other places. | ||
I mean, I imagine that's true, but it's the idea that you don't want to do anything to Iran because they've sent sleeper cells. | ||
Well, that's already calling for retaliation. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You know, like. | ||
Why are we allowing them to stay? | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like, you know, it's the same thing. | ||
If we know where they are. | ||
I mean, you know, our leaders were on the news saying they're in all 50 states now. | ||
Okay. | ||
Well, you know, then you must know where they are. | ||
Why are they still here? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
So that's why we need to deport everybody. | |
Everybody. | ||
All of them. | ||
All 20 million. | ||
It's like a transfusion. | ||
If you take too much too quick, it kills the body. | ||
So you got to go. | ||
I like this idea of taking the violent criminals first, but then they're going up on Joe Rogan. | ||
It's like, this is getting crazy, dude. | ||
They're driving up at Home Depots and tackling dudes. | ||
No, they all got to go, Ian. | ||
You honestly can't care about optics anymore right now with the way the country's been invaded. | ||
Oh, I don't agree because I think that the Russian and the Chinese, if we don't have them on our side, if they think that we're truly ballistic and we're going to just start sneak attacking, wait, wait, wait, we're talking about immigration. | ||
What are you talking about with the Russian and Chinese? | ||
If they see us go authoritarian crackdown hard and sneak attack with bunker busters, other countries, they might be like, all right, it's too far gone now. | ||
We can't, at least now we can be negotiated with because it's the United States of America. | ||
We stand for liberty. | ||
How does that fit into the mass deportations? | ||
If you start just grabbing segments of your population, maybe they're a citizen, maybe they're not. | ||
We'll find out later. | ||
Putin might like that. | ||
I give you like respect. | ||
I just saw a video of a dude, a Russian dude that had a flag with Putin on it. | ||
He pulled it down, crumpled it up, threw it away. | ||
And then the next day, he just got picked up. | ||
They grabbed him and blackbagged him just because he threw a picture of Putin away. | ||
Like, we are far from that, my dude. | ||
We are far from that. | ||
People that are getting picked up now are actually criminal, illegal aliens. | ||
And, you know, maybe some of them haven't committed a violent crime and they're getting picked up just for being illegal, but they're still here illegally. | ||
Those borders are so wide open. | ||
Ian, you got a lot of ones. | ||
Yeah, I know. | ||
That was an extreme thing of me to say to kind of like try to pull back on the deportation thing on this show. | ||
I know. | ||
A lot of people are very, very pro-deportation here. | ||
Deportation, no break, all gas. | ||
Well, we can, I got, we'll deport Ian. | ||
Ian? | ||
To where? | ||
Take it a show. | ||
Trump, Trump. | ||
unidentified
|
Paris. | |
I want to go to Paris. | ||
That sounds like too much fun. | ||
So we actually have this story. | ||
From the Washington Post, Supreme Court now allows Trump to deport migrants to third countries. | ||
The case is done on President Trump's attempt to deport migrants to countries where they are not citizens, including conflict-ridden South Sudan. | ||
Some dude comes here from Guatemala and it's like, off you go to South Sudan. | ||
I mean, that's a deterrent. | ||
I'll say that. | ||
Of course, that's the headline from the Washington Post. | ||
The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport immigrants to countries where they're not citizens, temporarily blocking a decision by a lower court judge that migrants must have a meaningful opportunity to contest their removal. | ||
The court's order, which drew a sharp dissent from three liberal justices, was in response to an emergency request by the admin and will remain in place while legal challenges to such removals make their way through the lower courts. | ||
As part of Trump's mass deportation efforts, the admin has attempted to send groups of migrants, some convicted of crimes in the U.S., to countries other than their own, including to conflict-ridden South Sudan. | ||
I can't believe that. | ||
That's ridiculous. | ||
Four individuals initially filed a lawsuit in Boston on behalf of all migrants potentially subject to third country removals, saying they are entitled to notice and an opportunity to raise fear-based claims before deportation. | ||
To be honest, if you're from like, I don't know, Colombia or Honduras, and Trump's like, we're going to send you to Sudan, I think you have grounds to be like, I have fear of death if you send me there. | ||
How does Sudan? | ||
How does Sudan feel about this? | ||
Have they been consulted? | ||
The reason they're going to places like Sudan is, or ostensibly, it's because their nation of origin won't take them back, right? | ||
Yes. | ||
But Sudan seems like a weird choice. | ||
Like, El Salvador, I get. | ||
Trump's just like, that sounds good. | ||
To be fair, like, these people going to South Sudan, where are they from, though? | ||
They may be from some neighboring country or something. | ||
Or maybe there's no rhyme or reason at all. | ||
It's just get them out of here. | ||
We don't have to go. | ||
It's a lottery. | ||
Yeah. | ||
It just doesn't even matter. | ||
They just need to go. | ||
One of the potential deportees is being held in a makeshift detention at the U.S. Naval Base in Djibouti. | ||
Is that how you pronounce it? | ||
Djibouti. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it is. | |
Djibouti. | ||
Under health hazards and threat of rocket attacks after the judge said a planned deportation flight to South Sudan violated his order. | ||
I got to admit, it's kind of funny. | ||
It's hilarious. | ||
It is funny. | ||
I have concerns about it, but at the same time, don't illegally violate our laws and break into our country. | ||
And, you know, if you come here illegally, I'm not sure what degree of sympathies I'm supposed to have if we just tell you to go away. | ||
I like that we went from sending them to Martha's Vineyard to sending them to South Sudan. | ||
Look, DeSantis is the pilot. | ||
Is that what that is? | ||
Sending him to Martha's Vineyard was the pilot program. | ||
Yeah, they did. | ||
They did. | ||
unidentified
|
you know you want to lead with your best foot did you guys see what the group in Colorado did with the Yeah. | |
Oh, yeah. | ||
So Colorado has lost its mind, and I could go into a million things about education that they're doing that are insane and attacking the worst cases of parental rights at their state legislature right now, dividing families. | ||
But this just takes the cake. | ||
They've got this group there that actually notified the child rapist, illegal immigrant, that ICE was on its way and let him get away. | ||
It is. | ||
That's like they're high from oxygen deprivation. | ||
It's infuriating. | ||
It's crazy because they're super terrible. | ||
It's disgraceful. | ||
Well, I pulled up South Sudan and their biggest city of Juba, which is pretty big. | ||
It's pretty big. | ||
There's a lot going on here. | ||
Looks like the roads are largely made of dirt. | ||
Largely dirt. | ||
Make it our Australia. | ||
Houses are all, they appear to be shanty houses. | ||
I don't think they have... | ||
Regular old houses. | ||
I'm just curious about the standard of living in Juba. | ||
They got a university. | ||
So maybe there's opportunity for some of these people here. | ||
Yeah, you're selling it. | ||
Is it better than prison in the U.S. or worse? | ||
That's the question. | ||
Depends on the prison. | ||
Yeah, I prefer exile anyway, so I think they're better off. | ||
They got an international airport. | ||
Just out. | ||
Just out. | ||
Yeah, you were saying, Tim, I think you said that I think it's okay that we just grab the illegals and get them out of here. | ||
I think you just said that you're pretty sure that it is. | ||
I think it depends on the validity of the law they're breaking. | ||
And this law about immigration seems like a pretty legit law. | ||
unidentified
|
So in that instance, if you're being here illegally, it's breaking the law. | |
A legit law, too. | ||
It's not like some crazy law where black people can't come to this country. | ||
It's stupid shit. | ||
Let me just say, I don't know which individuals were actually sent to South Sudan. | ||
It may actually be that the people who were sent there are from the neighboring country or something, and that he's doing it because he's like, well, go back to where you're from. | ||
However, under the assumption that potentially it could be someone from Guatemala that gets sent to South Sudan, I'd just like to point out that the per capita GDP of Guatemala is $6,682. | ||
108th in the world. | ||
Yikes. | ||
What do y'all think is the per capita GDP of South Sudan? | ||
Any guesses? | ||
God. | ||
Let's go. | ||
Come on. | ||
Three grand? | ||
What do you say? | ||
$1,200. | ||
$1,200. | ||
What say you? | ||
$956. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Is it real? | ||
Bob Barker? | ||
I'm going to say $1. | ||
$1. | ||
Closest without going over is Shane. | ||
There you go. | ||
$326. | ||
Of adults. | ||
It's all 18 and over. | ||
GDP per capita is $326. | ||
That's per year. | ||
I think that's like the bottom. | ||
194th. | ||
Is that the lowest in the world? | ||
unidentified
|
It is. | |
Aren't we paying? | ||
I think people will leave too, so aren't they? | ||
They could become kings. | ||
Yo, for real, it's the lowest? | ||
How unfair, though? | ||
I'm going to be maybe the bleeding. | ||
Mom. | ||
It's fair to their country to send them the worst of the worst that have come into our country. | ||
We're going to ship them off to a place that can't even probably afford law enforcement. | ||
No, I don't know. | ||
No, no, no, no, listen. | ||
Listen, if you're from Guatemala and you're a farm worker or someone and you're making $6,000, $7,000 a year, you are going to South Sudan as like a major expert. | ||
Like they might be actually able to help South Sudan. | ||
They'll be white collar. | ||
Yeah, they're going to go there with degrees of expertise in their hands on that. | ||
They're just trying to make me feel better about it. | ||
Yo, this is wild. | ||
South Sudan is the lowest per capita GDP under Afghanistan, Yemen, Burundi. | ||
And who do you think number one is? | ||
Haiti. | ||
The number one GDP? | ||
Monaco. | ||
Monaco. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Number one GDP is Monaco? | ||
Lowest. | ||
Yeah, Haiti is a lowest guest. | ||
Actually, it looks like they don't have numbers for Monaco and Liechtenstein, but Luxembourg. | ||
That's the number one GDP. | ||
There's this one Western African country that has a massive GDP. | ||
Ireland is number two? | ||
Ghana? | ||
unidentified
|
Really? | |
Yeah. | ||
It was like a trade country. | ||
U.S. is sad. | ||
That's the US. | ||
Where's China? | ||
unidentified
|
Cheda. | |
That's fine. | ||
Cheda. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
It's down there. | ||
Really? | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Oh, they got a lot of people. | ||
Can I pass it? | ||
There's Taiwan right there. | ||
There's what? | ||
Taiwan. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
We have 1.4 billion because they tell us they've got over a billion people, which could be. | ||
Oh, wow. | ||
China's 70. Wow. | ||
That's surprising. | ||
Very surprising. | ||
Yeah, it is because I think they're lying about their population numbers. | ||
What if they really got 600,000 people? | ||
Now you're going to see their GDP at like number seven or six, you know? | ||
Macau tied at number seven. | ||
unidentified
|
I don't know why they're doing that, though. | |
Like it says seven, United States and Macau, but they clearly have different numbers. | ||
I don't know why they do that. | ||
No idea. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Number one, it says Monaco, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg. | ||
Monaco. | ||
That's like the highest GDP per capita. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
A lot of money. | ||
Loudoun County is the highest median income in the country, which is just across the street. | ||
Radical liberals. | ||
Actually, they're not. | ||
Those mobs helped win that governor election. | ||
The field I'm in, they're terrible. | ||
But this is why Loudoun was like the majority. | ||
Yeah, yeah, because it's actually pretty middle of the road. | ||
So you've got moderate liberal types, disaffected former liberals and some conservatives, and then you find out what's going on in your schools, people freak out. | ||
Craziness. | ||
If it was far left, nobody would care. | ||
Like, look at L.A. We don't have protests in L.A. over this stuff. | ||
They celebrate it. | ||
So the fact that Loudoun was fairly moderate and they had this far-left stuff, it caused the uproar. | ||
So then people, you know, they push back. | ||
But I think we need to answer this question. | ||
Do you guys, how concerned are you with Trump sending illegal immigrants to any random country? | ||
I don't care where they go. | ||
You don't care. | ||
Yeah, just get them out. | ||
Get them out. | ||
He cares. | ||
I don't care. | ||
Sending them halfway across the world when they can never get back to where they're, I guess the countries won't take them. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
They shouldn't have come here then. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I mean, I'm talking about the country that they're sending them to. | ||
I feel bad for that country. | ||
I feel bad for our country. | ||
You know, it's like when, was it, Britain sent all the criminals to Australia and the U.S., but Australia, I guess we did okay. | ||
Yeah, we got crocodile Dundee out of it. | ||
Get them out of here. | ||
Get them out of here. | ||
I think I'm only concerned with contingencies of what could possibly happen. | ||
Man, because if you sent a lot of people to a country that had a hostile attitude towards the U.S., they might use those people to do something to us. | ||
They all hate us. | ||
They all hate everybody. | ||
Hey, check it out. | ||
I was looking at South Sudan here. | ||
Pull this up. | ||
And I was trying to find, like, I like to look at cities and try to figure out where's their wealthy area. | ||
And, you know, I noticed trees. | ||
There are only some areas that have nice trees. | ||
So I zoomed in on this nice little cluster of areas with trees. | ||
And guess what I found? | ||
Yeah. | ||
USAID. | ||
Oh, wow. | ||
Oh, nice. | ||
Good. | ||
So obviously, when you see all the trees and there's grass and it's well maintained, there's relative to everybody else, you got some wealth there. | ||
And it turns out USAID operating right there. | ||
Why not no more? | ||
Can we pull up Zillow? | ||
Yeah, Zillow for South Sudan. | ||
I mean, there's grass. | ||
There's the most fun I've had in days. | ||
There's grass, you know? | ||
I'm like, someone's got money. | ||
The nicest building in all of Sudan is the best. | ||
It's got that USAID building. | ||
Well, it's because it's like, who's got access to the trees? | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
You live in a nice area where there's grass, paved roads, and trees. | ||
And I'm like, that's the wealthy. | ||
You can afford irrigation. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
They have sprinklers. | ||
That's wild, dude. | ||
It cost an arm and a leg over there. | ||
That's wild. | ||
That curbs would be like the indicator of affluent lifestyle in urban areas. | ||
If you got curbs, you know, you've got things like, you know, indoor plumbing and you're doing okay. | ||
Wow. | ||
Did you say Trump is floating the idea to do this? | ||
Apparently, people are scheduled to go to South Sudan. | ||
Now, the question is, are they going to the capital or might he send them to like Nagero? | ||
Yeah, rural. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Go to rural South Sudan. | ||
How far does this go? | ||
I mean, he sends them on a plane. | ||
They land at the major airport. | ||
They take a parachute. | ||
And then they have to jump out of the plane. | ||
No, I mean, I'm assuming they go to the airport and then what? | ||
They just open the plane. | ||
And, I mean, do they put them on a bus? | ||
Are we finding them in the New York? | ||
They're no longer our problem. | ||
unidentified
|
Once you get them to the airport and off the plane, didn't Giuliani do that? | |
He put all the homeless people on buses. | ||
To me, in my neck of the woods. | ||
Yeah, Newburgh, New York. | ||
Put them all on buses. | ||
Newburgh became one of the worst cities in the country. | ||
You know, that's like horrible, but kind of funny at the same time. | ||
Yeah, it was a fun place to be as a teenager. | ||
The current governor's not doing, I mean, she's a raging liberal Democrat. | ||
Local? | ||
Yeah, she's, I mean, she's kind of doing the same thing. | ||
I have an aunt that lives outside of Utica and was in like a retirement community. | ||
And they actually took three of their five buildings for homeless people from the city that they brought up there and paid for them. | ||
And she just said it became drug infested. | ||
They took away hotels that I have family members that were working at, like in bars and restaurants, and gave those to illegals with the debit card money, you know? | ||
Entire hotels just given. | ||
You know, you brought up the British sending all those illegal, all those criminals to Australia. | ||
That happened. | ||
That's real. | ||
And like, we're kind of in a situation right now where we're about, are we going to do that now? | ||
But they didn't have social media. | ||
They're criminals. | ||
They're just criminals. | ||
Yeah, they're just criminals. | ||
They're not even our citizen criminals. | ||
They're just kind of funny. | ||
Like, I have to imagine South Sudan saying yes. | ||
I mean, I'll put it this way. | ||
You're South Sudan, right? | ||
Your average per capita GDP is 300 bucks. | ||
You're the lowest in the world. | ||
And Trump says, I can send you some guys from a country where they're on average making seven grand. | ||
That are potentially child rapists. | ||
That are potentially murderers. | ||
Many of them. | ||
That are drug dealers. | ||
That may be a step up for South Sudan. | ||
No. | ||
No. | ||
They may go right to jail in South Sudan if they're one of those people. | ||
I'm going to get a letter from the South Sudanese government being like, that was inappropriate. | ||
They're going to war with Timpool. | ||
South Sudan versus Timpool. | ||
I actually do feel bad about that. | ||
The people of South Sudan are not bad people. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I don't need to rag on an entire nation of people who are just living their lives because they're poor. | ||
It's not to make a judgment call without having them here on the show. | ||
We should invite a South Sudanese person on the show. | ||
They've never been in our country to start with. | ||
And so now it's our problem. | ||
I imagine our government's going to coordinate with South Sudan. | ||
Yeah, that's what I'm doing. | ||
I'm looking that up right now. | ||
And if there's people who are evil, like you're mentioning, they go away, you know, like the El Salvador prison. | ||
Is Sudan like a go away? | ||
What do you mean they go away? | ||
This is a kid-friendly show. | ||
I don't want to say what I truly want to say. | ||
They're 60% Christian. | ||
I don't know if it matters. | ||
30%. | ||
60% Christian is a little bit more than the United States these days. | ||
Are they like a puppet state of the U.S.? | ||
No. | ||
Sudan? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
That's Haiti. | ||
It's 60% Christ. | ||
Not that it matters. | ||
Okay, where are we now, Tim? | ||
Is this GTA or something? | ||
I think it's Malakal. | ||
This is South Sudan, apparently. | ||
I got no street view. | ||
I'm trying to find... | ||
It looked like an establishment. | ||
I'm trying to find street viewpoints, but it's kind of... | ||
I think the airport might have some. | ||
Here we go. | ||
unidentified
|
Juba. | |
We'll click that button. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's go to South Sudan. | |
Okay. | ||
Well, there you go. | ||
Oh, look, they have fire extinguishers. | ||
All right. | ||
I don't think this is South Sudan. | ||
It's just like a Glory Regency Hotel. | ||
I don't know. | ||
Maybe it is. | ||
They were at a subject. | ||
You can go in the room. | ||
I wonder why that was. | ||
I don't think there's a Glory Regency Hotel right there. | ||
I think that's just a misplaced street view. | ||
Okay, let's click that one. | ||
There's nothing. | ||
Hey, here you go. | ||
People are under 18 years old in this country. | ||
Oh, man. | ||
This looks like South Sudan. | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
Dirt roads. | ||
Everything's a dirt road. | ||
That's wild. | ||
Like I said, man, curbs tell the story. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
That's crazy. | ||
Your town has curbs. | ||
And look at this. | ||
Nessico. | ||
They got stuff going on down there. | ||
Are they getting paid? | ||
I bet they got great parties. | ||
Do they get paid per immigrant? | ||
What do you want to call? | ||
How do you want to call these people? | ||
Are they getting paid? | ||
Are we like bribing them? | ||
Actually, in all seriousness, what if Trump is saying, we're going to, the reason South Sudan's an option is he says, you hold these guys and we'll pay you a thousand bucks a year. | ||
And they're like, ooh. | ||
I mean, I don't know how the deal is structured or whatever, but if they're not here, it's worth the money. | ||
I don't. | ||
I think that's actually a great idea. | ||
And then if they disappear, they just get the money. | ||
And if they don't disappear, they sit in a jail cell and it costs them $300 a year to cover them and the country makes a profit. | ||
That's what they're doing in El Salvador, basically. | ||
It's a lot cheaper to put them in prison in Sudan than it would be in the United States. | ||
So I, you know, okay. | ||
I'm coming around. | ||
I'm coming around. | ||
Send them back. | ||
unidentified
|
Bombs for Liberty is the end of a Sudan chapter. | |
The biggest reason to send them back isn't just about sending them back and getting these people out. | ||
It's trying to disincentivize other people that are here from staying here. | ||
Personally, I want to see pressure on anyone that would hire illegals. | ||
If you knowingly hire illegal immigrants, you should lose your property. | ||
You should lose your business. | ||
It should be really extreme because this is a massive problem for the United States, specifically when it comes to the way that the census is going to go and congressional districts and voting. | ||
So anything that we can do to get people to leave is good, in my opinion. | ||
Gotta go. | ||
Gotta go. | ||
It's Sudan. | ||
When you're embedded in the communities with those people as your friends, it is so, that'd be so hard for, I'm just thinking about some of the people I worked with. | ||
I mean, I wouldn't be so hard, but I've worked at restaurants in Los Angeles and like dudes from Honduras and wherever. | ||
You got to divorce yourself from that compassion of yours to save the country. | ||
You get rid of anyone who broke the law to get here. | ||
You just walk in one day and they're just all gone. | ||
It'll feel like the Soviet Union, but you know it's not. | ||
It's a rapture. | ||
If they sign up right now, I think I heard on the news this morning, if they register with the government right now and go back, there's a path for them to enter legally. | ||
Oh, 100%. | ||
So your friends, your fellow friends at your restaurant, I mean, they need to go home and do it right. | ||
And I think there's nothing wrong with that. | ||
Nope. | ||
And most of America agrees. | ||
Like, I mean, Trump is still, even after having the news covering fights over immigration and stuff, the American people didn't change their opinion about deportations. | ||
Like, there are a few places where it got heated and there were some protests because, well, you know, it's protest season and they ain't got nothing else to do. | ||
But for the most part, the American people are still on board. | ||
It's still two-thirds of Americans want to see actual deportations. | ||
It's not just want to fix the border. | ||
It's fix the border and deport. | ||
Why is it so different from 2017 and 2018 when, I mean, the media was just, you know, there was no support for any deportations or the wall, if you recall. | ||
All of the news was about cages, kids in cages, separating families, and it was dominating in the mainstream media and everywhere. | ||
And some of it was, I mean, they were down there filming, crying, all the things. | ||
We're not seeing, you know what's happening, but we're not seeing it in the mainstream news. | ||
Because the world was a totally different place before 2020. | ||
2020 and COVID and the Summer of Love changed America in ways that I don't think we are ready. | ||
We can even see yet. | ||
And they also changed their tune in the media on deportations because they chose to not report on it, really, for Obama, who was the deporter-in-chief. | ||
And then when Trump came down, he was like the bad guy who didn't even build the cages. | ||
Those are the last guy's cages, right? | ||
So they just chose not to make it a thing. | ||
But they really hung it around him. | ||
And I remember most of America did not support all that. | ||
Now they are. | ||
They had to attach him to being racist because of the whole Mexican thing and all that stuff. | ||
So it was like their way of conflating those and turning him to an evil guy. | ||
The Venezuelan gangs that took over that town and didn't help. | ||
That was like a flashpoint that woke so many people up because it was huge world global news. | ||
And then people in the news kind of pretend like it wasn't happening. | ||
And other people are like, yo, I live here. | ||
Not only that, but stuff like when J.D. Vance was talking about it, and it was the I Don't Really Care Margaret interview, I believe. | ||
But when he said, look, the proper number of apartment buildings to be taken over by Trende Aragua is zero. | ||
That's the acceptable number. | ||
Any other number is unacceptable. | ||
Let's jump to this story. | ||
We've got some of the Daily Mail. | ||
Joe Scarborough defends Donald Trump. | ||
Biesel. | ||
Biesel. | ||
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
They say MSNBC host and notorious Trump basher Joe Scarborough stunningly defended the president's bombing of Iran over the weekend, saying Hillary Clinton and several previous presidents have all done the same. | ||
He's not wrong about that. | ||
Morning Joe hosts surprising tape came as discourse swirled about Trump's strike on fortified uranium enrichment facilities and blah, blah, blah. | ||
We get it. | ||
Look, I have no problem saying I called it, but so did everyone else. | ||
When Trump launched Tom Hawk missile strikes in Syria, the media called him presidential. | ||
We knew if Trump launched a strike on Iran, the media is going to scream and clap and cheer. | ||
And here they are, or at least here's Joe. | ||
And you know what? | ||
One of the big reasons is, one, they're all deep state warmongers, but their views go up. | ||
They can see when there's war, they look at their metrics and they're like, war is good because war scares people. | ||
And then people watch the news. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
It's a doom economy. | ||
Oh, I've been to the news. | ||
I've been attached for 48 hours since the bombs dropped. | ||
I've been just news Ian's ever listened to. | ||
Taking news and reading news. | ||
Ian doesn't even, when we're talking about news, he plugs his ears. | ||
I did a two-hour call with these Israelis. | ||
It was like, they call, it was like Zionist freedom fighters kind of tongue-in-cheek, but I was like, let's just see. | ||
Let's go hang out. | ||
And they invited me up to talk. | ||
And it's like, I've just been in the machine for 48 hours, man. | ||
And they wrote you a check to support them? | ||
It's in the mail. | ||
They actually invited me to Israel. | ||
It's in the mail. | ||
I was invited to Israel. | ||
I have a question, though, because his viewers don't like Trump, probably, on MSNBC. | ||
So why wouldn't he just take the opposite and just bash Trump and pretend exposure on things that are made up? | ||
Like they always do. | ||
Why side with him? | ||
It's still news for him to fight it and come out and bash Trump about it. | ||
Because this is the one time for MSNBC their ratings are probably greater than just the people who hate Trump. | ||
And so you've got people tuning in now just looking for news. | ||
He wants to capture a new audience. | ||
They want to get away from we are the evil Trump is, you know, we only hate Trump. | ||
We offer no real news. | ||
But more importantly, they want to encourage Trump to do more. | ||
Trump is a sucker for people kissing his ass. | ||
So when Trump turns on Scarborough and sees everybody cheering for him, he's going to be like, yeah. | ||
And they're hoping he does more. | ||
Because I tell you this, the MSNBC producers are sitting there. | ||
I was very crass on X when I posted about it, so I won't do that here. | ||
But let's just say they're excited, in a matter of speaking, when they see those numbers, when Trump announces a strike, they immediately are just flush red. | ||
They're high fiving. | ||
They're whipping out the blow. | ||
They're having a good time. | ||
And they tell Joe, this is a good thing. | ||
Tell him to do more. | ||
Why? | ||
Because our ratings are 2X. | ||
I think it's partly because he wants to impress Mika Brzezinski, whose father was Big Nev Brzezinski from the Council on Foreign Relations. | ||
So he's just showing off his warmonger cred for Mika to get her warmed up. | ||
Who did he fund? | ||
Who did he fund? | ||
Pol Pot for Carter. | ||
Oh, did he really? | ||
They funded Pol Pot. | ||
These people love blood. | ||
The whole Morning Joe lineup is all like CFR. | ||
Yeah, dude. | ||
Like all the international bureaucrats that you don't like. | ||
Bad people. | ||
Pol Pot. | ||
Pol Pot. | ||
Can you explain? | ||
It was a genocidal maniac who shot a lot of people. | ||
The Khmer Rouge was. | ||
He killed 20% of the population of Cambodia. | ||
And they marched people and had them die on the trail and stuff. | ||
All kinds of millions. | ||
I don't know if there's any particular trail of tears or anything, but there was 8 million people in the country and he killed 2 million of them. | ||
You say Mika's father funded this guy? | ||
He was like a Carter guy. | ||
I forget what his title was, but they helped fund it to inflate it for some narrative they were spinning. | ||
I forget exactly what that was. | ||
It's been a while since I read about it, but yeah, he was the guy, her dad. | ||
He did a lot of crazy things, but that's the one I remember. | ||
Of course, you're not your father, but definitely a person if you grow up with them. | ||
She's in that class, though. | ||
If you're talking about the elite class that is tied into global politics and can't be removed, Mika Brzezinski's in that because it's people like Spignev Brzezinski from the Council on Foreign Relations, and it's people like Kissinger and stuff like that that had significant, and the Clintons and stuff have significant influence on global affairs. | ||
Did you have something to say? | ||
A random question. | ||
I'm trying to understand your role in this group. | ||
Are you regular here? | ||
That's a hilarious question. | ||
Yeah, it is because there's like this dynamic and then He's the wild card. | ||
My role is the healer. | ||
I'm the healer. | ||
You ever play role-playing games? | ||
unidentified
|
You always have a different take than everyone else at the table. | |
Just a random, but we're still trying to figure it out. | ||
unidentified
|
I was always singing as a child. | |
He's very smart, but he hums all the time. | ||
Well, his point is he wouldn't stop, so I kept hitting him, trying to get him to kill him. | ||
He did get bullied as a kid. | ||
I'm just trying to make up for it now without doing something I regret. | ||
I think my role here is to heal the world with internet video, to provide an opportunity for people to speak and be heard. | ||
And to think very highly of themselves. | ||
And to subvert the narrative, because I'll say really extreme stuff in a real casual, quick way, and then we just laugh and move on. | ||
But I seed it into the consciousness. | ||
Like, I want to overthrow. | ||
I would love to see the Iranian totalitarian theocracy. | ||
He's somehow like a soft hippie, but also possibly a tyrant. | ||
He's talked about how the U.S. should spread democracy to foreign countries. | ||
He wanted Gaza to be the 51st state. | ||
He wanted Gaza to be the 51st state. | ||
I'm playing the global play in the middle. | ||
Like the art of war. | ||
I really take the art of war seriously. | ||
I think that we need to subvert the narrative using mass media. | ||
Okay. | ||
And so, you know, act weak when you're strong. | ||
That's why I act like a silly goof on this show so much. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
Yeah. | ||
People give you a lot of problems online. | ||
You know, and like they'll, they'll see me and be like, well, what's up with Ian? | ||
I'm like, Ian's the man. | ||
And he also pushes everyone to defend their point by saying something that might sound outlandish to someone, to people watching. | ||
I like it, but that's very good. | ||
It's just going to be no consistency. | ||
Like he just pokes a hole, pokes a hole, pokes a hole. | ||
unidentified
|
And I'm like, in holes and ideas is no consistency. | |
I love doing that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Even my own ideas. | ||
He made just me nuts. | ||
No consistency crossland. | ||
That's what we call them around here. | ||
They're getting a piggyback. | ||
Sorry to derail the whole conversation. | ||
I just, I think so much, so much. | ||
And I'll be thinking about ideas. | ||
And then I'll poke holes in my own ideas. | ||
And I'll picture Tim telling me like, no, and I'm like, what would my friends say? | ||
And I picture having conversations with my fan. | ||
And I'm like, okay, criticize myself. | ||
So I do that to him and you when we're talking, I poke holes in you. | ||
So the joke is, are you familiar with Dungeons and Dragons? | ||
A little bit. | ||
So simple version. | ||
When you're in the game, you will roll a 20-sided dice to determine whether you succeed or fail at certain tasks. | ||
If you roll a 20, it's called a critical success, and whatever you're doing just works. | ||
And if you roll a one, it's called a critical failure, and whatever you're doing just fails, no matter what your stats are. | ||
The joke is that Ian can only either roll a one or a 20. You kept saying one. | ||
That's a one. | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
Got it. | ||
That's why the audience will post, like, there's no middle ground. | ||
Ian never says anything that's kind of like, oh, yeah, I guess. | ||
It's either that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard or, wow, that's a really great point. | ||
It's, you know. | ||
And it's hyperbolic. | ||
I can be very middle of the road, but it's boring. | ||
I like to make big deals out of stuff. | ||
I mean, fuck it, dude. | ||
We're on one of the hottest shows on earth right now. | ||
Make fun of it. | ||
Like, enjoy life. | ||
Do good, you know? | ||
I just think it's crazy. | ||
I'm the fool character. | ||
That archetype. | ||
Sure. | ||
Like Benjamin Franklin style, like friend of the king. | ||
He's no threat. | ||
He's just a goof. | ||
What do you think, though? | ||
And the fool will tell him the truth. | ||
Yeah, I don't know. | ||
advocated for intervention and nation-building well Depends on. | ||
These hippie Dick Cheney. | ||
These nations don't build themselves. | ||
I used to be just, no more war. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, look in here. | |
Look at South Sudan. | ||
Right? | ||
They're in need of some regime change. | ||
That's right. | ||
I used to scream, no more war. | ||
I used to just plainly say, we got to end all the wars and stop, stop. | ||
And now I realize the nuance of the global power structure. | ||
And sometimes you need to attack. | ||
Yeah, the liberal world order needs to maintain its hegemony. | ||
It makes me very nervous because there's going to be a new world order, but it's going to be mostly liberal. | ||
She pinpointed this dynamic. | ||
I'm saying she pinpointed a very important part of this entire dynamic. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
It felt good, but then I got like really overstimulated. | ||
Sorry for D-Rell. | ||
Too much sugar. | ||
You know, it's funny because the chat is always ragging on him, but in real life, everyone I meet loves him. | ||
Who gets the loudest applause? | ||
Oh, yeah. | ||
It's Ian. | ||
So we were at Turning Point USA, and Ian walks out. | ||
Everyone starts screaming as loud as they can. | ||
And then as we're leaving the show, Ian turns around and falls off the stage five feet and smatters on the ground. | ||
I was totally fine. | ||
Is that on accident? | ||
No, I didn't see the hole. | ||
It was on accident. | ||
He just bounced right there. | ||
Oh, because the way the stage was, it was like a straight path and then split. | ||
So Ian was walking backwards and turned to wave. | ||
It just went straight off. | ||
It was divine. | ||
It was loud. | ||
I was like in the moment. | ||
I started making YouTube videos in 06 and I was like, what would Jesus do with this technology? | ||
So I was able to clear my mind by being honest on the internet because once you're honest, you don't get distracted by your secrets and you don't have secrets anymore to get distracted by. | ||
And then you're very aware of your surroundings. | ||
So when I fell off the stage, I was like, it was in slow motion and I could move and land on my feet. | ||
And you were okay. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Did people, everybody see you fall or just the backstage? | ||
No, no, everybody see the fall. | ||
The whole place, everyone's live streaming, everyone, like millions of people. | ||
But when Ian comes out, the crowd goes nuts. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
And I think it's because people largely view him as like a wild card. | ||
That his, whether intentionally or not, whatever it is he's claiming, like he's saying he's doing it on purpose, I don't know that he is, but it's okay because it's a curveball all the time. | ||
And that's kind of the point. | ||
Okay, well, I'm just going to make it, I'm going to make it loud and clear that I think you're fantastic. | ||
If you have that big of a following, I do not want to cross you. | ||
My last name's Crossland. | ||
I like to listen. | ||
Listening is such a powerful tool. | ||
Let's talk about parents. | ||
We got this from the postmillennial. | ||
Parents' Rights Group files Title IX complaint against Smith College for allowing trans-identified males into women's only school. | ||
Quote, ironically, in what appears to be yet another exercise in sex discrimination, Smith admits natal men who identify as women, but do not admit natal women who identify as men. | ||
Wow, wait, really? | ||
That's hilarious. | ||
So there's a restaurant that I think is absolutely fantastic. | ||
It's called Founding Farmers. | ||
There's a bunch of them. | ||
You guys ever been there? | ||
It is, holy crap, there's one in Reston in Loudoun County. | ||
So you know it's going to be putting on the writs, right? | ||
When you're walking into this shopping district, they have like these gigantic LED screens of an aquarium. | ||
It's nuts. | ||
And then you walk into this place and there's Saturday, Sunday brunch. | ||
It is amazing. | ||
And they sell this bourbon barrel aged maple syrup. | ||
I love this place. | ||
And I went there this weekend and one of the servers walked up and said, I'm a huge fan, man. | ||
And I was like, wow, thank you very much. | ||
And then when I went to the bathroom, the bathroom door says M and W in mind, body, and spirit. | ||
And I was like, okay, that's kind of weird and creepy. | ||
And I wonder if they have to do it because of the district, because it's Virginia. | ||
So they just put it up. | ||
But these are shared bathrooms. | ||
So I just think like, I shouldn't derail off of this story and what's going on. | ||
I'm just saying, I just find that I took a picture of it. | ||
It is very strange. | ||
And as a dude, I don't really care if a woman walks into the bathroom when I'm like dropping a deuce. | ||
It's like the problem's hers, not mine. | ||
But if you're a woman, I can understand if like some dude walks in, you're going to be upset. | ||
I'm not using that bathroom. | ||
Like I will hold it for days before I'll walk into that bathroom unless I have somebody to guard it and make sure nobody else walks in while then some dude's going to walk and be like, excuse me, Bab. | ||
And she's going to be like, someone's in there and be like, I'm going to, you know, they're going to push them out of the way and go in there. | ||
It's going to cause a scene. | ||
Okay, then I guess I just hold it for days. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
Look, man, all the options are on the table. | ||
Is this your organization, Tia? | ||
No, this is Defending Ed, good friends of ours, Nikki Neely, their president over there. | ||
And she works very closely with Moms for Liberty, but the Smith College or university up there, Smith College is one of the largest women's universities in the country. | ||
And this lawsuit is justified because the people at this school, the faculty at this school, have lost their minds, truly. | ||
They're violating their admissions policy. | ||
They're violating their equal opportunity employment policies by trying to walk this line of sex and gender ideology, conflating them, basically. | ||
I mean, you can't follow Title IX and your admissions policy to say that you're not going to discriminate against sex and then say you're going to follow gender identity. | ||
And so they just got a mess on their hands. | ||
And this lawsuit goes after all of those prongs. | ||
You know, I do see some benefit to all of this in that it shows how the Civil Rights Act is, it makes no sense on paper. | ||
The issue with most laws that we interpret it as to what makes sense. | ||
So for example, with the Civil Rights Act, they were like, okay, no more racial discrimination and segregation. | ||
It makes no sense, right? | ||
Why have a white bathroom and a black bathroom? | ||
Right? | ||
Okay, let's get rid of that. | ||
Now it's just, you got a bathroom, okay? | ||
Men's room and women's room. | ||
Everyone agreed. | ||
Now the gender activists are going, whoa. | ||
The same law that got rid of racial segregation should get rid of sexual discrimination as well. | ||
Meaning, no more men's and women's room. | ||
You just have bathrooms. | ||
You can't discriminate on the basis of sex. | ||
So courts have ruled that you can discriminate so long as you offer up an alternative to that group. | ||
That way, it's not real discrimination because everyone has access to the same thing, which this is what we saw in the UC system in California. | ||
Makes no sense because that literally means you can have a white bathroom and a black bathroom because both groups are getting a bathroom. | ||
So now that the gender activists are arguing that the Civil Rights Act is hypocritical because it should completely get rid of sex segregated spaces. | ||
They need to specify then it's not just about things you can't change about yourself. | ||
Sexuality and race are completely different things. | ||
Immutable differences. | ||
You can't change your skin color, but you can change if you're a man or a woman in your brain. | ||
It's not equal at all. | ||
Well, the argument that they've made is the prerequisite for a protected civil right or protected group is immutability, except in the instance of religion, I suppose. | ||
However, the argument falls down to how do you determine race then? | ||
Because there's going to be some dude who looks as white as they come, and he's going to be one eighth or a quarter black or something. | ||
And then people are going to say, you don't qualify, but he's going to on paper. | ||
And then who gets to decide whether someone looks enough like the race? | ||
So I think ultimately what's exposed by this is it's actually not the law. | ||
It's the spirit and the intent of what the law was supposed to be. | ||
And the Civil Rights Act was specifically about ending racial segregation. | ||
So they did. | ||
But now, you know, I'll use an example. | ||
I'll use a different example. | ||
When New York City banned public drinking, there was a quote from a councilman who said something like, let it be said, this law will never be construed to stop a man from having a beer while he's on lunch, you know, at work. | ||
They were concerned about public drunkenness. | ||
Where are we now? | ||
Okay, if you're sitting on your porch in New York and you drink a beer, they will give you a ticket. | ||
That was never what was intended to happen. | ||
What happens is a generation or two goes by. | ||
They read what the law says and they say, the law says what it says. | ||
We're going to do it. | ||
And now gender activists have been arguing that under the same law, you can't segregate based on sex because it violates the law the same way racial segregation was violated. | ||
I would say that that's all been done on purpose and intentional. | ||
And I don't want to take you through a long history lesson here that you probably already know, but you can go back to the dear colleague letter from the Obama administration and where they started changing Title IX then. | ||
And they purposely used statewide organizations, especially with school districts and such, to make sure that gender identity was placed in state civil rights codes, in school district policies. | ||
And I was part of that debate when I was running for school board in 2015 because our school district was adding gender identity to our non-discrimination policy. | ||
It was happening all across the country during these same couple of years. | ||
And I remember the school board because I went back just a couple years ago and went and re-watched it and replayed it because we had a specific school board member who said, I'm voting for this tonight because I just want to make sure our LGBTQ community is safe. | ||
This is not about bathrooms because we had hundreds of pastors and speakers that were saying, this is going to lead to boys and girls' bathrooms and locker rooms. | ||
This is horrible. | ||
And they laughed at them and made fun of them. | ||
And the school board member said, just like the drinking story you just said, this has nothing to do with locker rooms or bathrooms. | ||
I would never vote for this if I thought a boy would be in a girls' bathroom. | ||
And here we are, just a few years later, and it's all about boys and girls' bathrooms. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
Yep. | ||
The idea that you can limit the government once you empower the government, that you can limit where they're going to apply whatever power they have. | ||
That just doesn't work. | ||
You have to think through it. | ||
You have to see it through the end, and people don't do that. | ||
It's unfortunate. | ||
Are you seeing schools getting crazier now after Trump second term? | ||
Or are they trying to get better? | ||
Are you watching the news? | ||
They are pushing back. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Yeah. | ||
He writes an executive order that says no more boys and girls sports. | ||
And there's whole states pushing Maine. | ||
I mean, the whole states are pushing back and saying, you know, given the middle finger and fighting it. | ||
Why aren't women refusing to compete? | ||
Mostly, in our case, it's K-12 girls. | ||
And some are. | ||
You've seen over the last few weeks. | ||
They're stepping off the podium. | ||
Where are the parents? | ||
You watch your daughter get up at 5 a.m. | ||
every morning and work her tail off year after year after year. | ||
And she wants to compete. | ||
As a mom, I'm not going to tell my daughter she can't compete. | ||
I would. | ||
I mean, with all due respect, my child is new. | ||
Four month old. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
Four month old. | ||
So I don't have that same experience. | ||
But I genuinely believe that part of the problem is that women support it. | ||
They may not literally support it in their minds, but they will speak out in support of it and they will push deep. | ||
They will push down. | ||
So I'll put it this way. | ||
They may be thinking in their mind, this is so dumb. | ||
Why is it so loud? | ||
And then they'll come on and say, this is so beautiful and amazing. | ||
And that perpetuates it. | ||
If, like with most issues, if every parent just said, my daughter will not compete, it would be over in 10 minutes. | ||
But every parent won't because there are parents that don't want to be shamed, don't want to be bullied, don't want to be attacked, and their children are following in their footsteps. | ||
But I think courage is bringing on more courage. | ||
We're seeing more and more girls step up or step off the podium for the award ceremony. | ||
And I think that's going to continue. | ||
And Moms for Liberty is going to be in this fight the entire way. | ||
We have filed numerous lawsuits. | ||
We've started collecting. | ||
So, one of the executive orders was that the, or the Department of Education put a portal on their website so some of these complaints could be filed there. | ||
And then there was a federal injunction that they had to take it down. | ||
And so, what we've started doing is collecting them on our own so that we can submit them as a whole without the portal that's got the injunction against it. | ||
And we've collected over 150 claims so far to answer your question. | ||
Is it still going on? | ||
Yeah, and that's only been pushed out to our chapter leaders. | ||
We haven't even opened it up nationwide yet. | ||
I'm imagining we'll have thousands the minute we do. | ||
Like, I imagine it's going to get worse because they're trying to rebel against Trump, right? | ||
Like, I taught at a college for many, many years, and every semester they would get more deranged. | ||
How much do you think to Sheen's point? | ||
How much is it true belief in what they're talking about? | ||
And how much of it is just, you know, I'm mad at Trump because Trump's my dad and I'm mad at dad. | ||
Like, because there's got to be a significant portion of people that will just push back because it's the right, because it's Trump, without putting any thought into the actual issues at hand. | ||
Do you well, we know from polling, all kinds of polling from all different organizations. | ||
This is polling about 80%. | ||
So 80% of America does not want boys and girls sports. | ||
And yet you've got whole states that are pushing back against that, entire universities, entire school districts. | ||
And so that would tell me that those in power are playing a political game. | ||
Yeah, it's not like all the students at the college are deciding it. | ||
It's the administration and who's running the administration making that decision. | ||
Yeah, colleges, you know, I'm not as familiar with because we don't really dive into that a ton, but I see what I see on the news just like you guys too. | ||
There's an awful lot of radical liberals on our campuses right now. | ||
The reason I feel so hopeful, and I am in an echo chamber in a bubble, but is Riley Gaines. | ||
It's people like Riley Gaines that are like, this girl is like a movie star, like a, like she appeared like a hero in a movie and just is like fitting this position inevitably. | ||
Simone Biles deleted her X account. | ||
She had like 2 million followers. | ||
Isn't that fabulous? | ||
I mean, not that she deleted her X account, who cares? | ||
But that. | ||
She backed down and ran away. | ||
Yeah, truth spoken to her and once called out on it. | ||
What's an 80-20 issue? | ||
When you look at the Pew research on every metric, support for transits has declined. | ||
And I would call it like opposition to these movement has been increasing, even among Democrats, every demographic. | ||
And then it was very strange for Simone Biles to come out insulting wrongly Riley Gaines, accusing her of being 5'10, which was really weird. | ||
Like, this is the problem with the cults, okay? | ||
Dave Portnoy met up with, was it Steve Doocy, I think, on Fox and Friends? | ||
And you know what they did? | ||
He stood side by side with Doocy, and he was like, this is what they do. | ||
They call me short. | ||
Watch this. | ||
Stand there. | ||
How tall are you, Ducey? | ||
He's like 5'10, 5'1. | ||
Watch, they stand next to each other in the same height. | ||
And he's like, they're all trying to claim that I'm short because that's what they do. | ||
And he's right. | ||
It's what they do. | ||
Activists go online and they say Ben Shapiro is short. | ||
Ben Shapiro is not short. | ||
I think he's like 5'8. | ||
So technically slightly below average or whatever. | ||
But 5'9 is average. | ||
So Ben being 5'8 is only technically short. | ||
You'd meet him and you go, oh, he's actually like not short. | ||
They claim that I'm short. | ||
And then people are like, oh, I thought you were short. | ||
I'm like, I'm like 5'10, 5'11-ish. | ||
When they watch this video of me skating, they're like, Tim actually looks very big. | ||
And they also claim in the inverse, Riley Gaines is massive and manly and masculine, and she should have won. | ||
They do this because they want to create in the minds of cultists, in the case of Riley Gaines, she's just as big as Leah Thomas. | ||
That's why they tied. | ||
And then in reality, you're like, Riley Gaines is what, 5'5? | ||
I'm like that, 5'5. | ||
But that's why Simone genuinely believed that Riley was massive because they intentionally lied to confuse the issue. | ||
And Simone is so little, like, Riley does seem gigantic to her because Simone Biles is like 4'10 or something like that. | ||
4'11. | ||
unidentified
|
She's really small. | |
Not really? | ||
Simone Biles is very small. | ||
Did she delete her account because she was ashamed that she'd been spouting the misinformation? | ||
4'8. | ||
I doubt it. | ||
Whoa. | ||
4'8? | ||
That little? | ||
4'8. | ||
So, you know, like, Riley's almost a foot taller than her. | ||
5'8, 5'10, 6'. | ||
It's all the same when you're 10. 4'8, right? | ||
Seriously, man. | ||
It'd be a cool culture where to get those two on. | ||
Wow. | ||
I haven't really been following the drama with them. | ||
What exactly happened? | ||
I didn't see it at all. | ||
Twitter beef. | ||
She told Riley to pick on someone her own size, which ironically would be a man. | ||
Oh, okay. | ||
And that's the point. | ||
Riley Gaines is 5'5 ⁇ . | ||
She's the average woman height. | ||
But Simone is probably told by all these activists, she's this massive woman who's mad that she tied to a man who was the same size as her. | ||
But then she doubled down and was supporting men and women's sports. | ||
And so everybody started piling on and said, as a female athlete, how can you do this? | ||
And so I don't know why she ultimately shut her account down. | ||
Because it's an 80-20 issue and she was probably her Q rating was shattering. | ||
Trump won the popular vote. | ||
And the most effective thing, according to, I think like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, they ran this. | ||
Trump's gender advertising, when they said Kamala is for they, them, Trump is for you, was one of the most effective ad campaigns that Trump supporters ran. | ||
Simone Biles comes out on the other side of an 80-20 issue. | ||
Her phone was probably lit up with people saying, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. | ||
And then the worst thing was she had an AI-generated apology. | ||
At least I think it's reasonable to conclude it was AI. | ||
It used the, what is it called? | ||
The brackets? | ||
Not the brackets, the dashes, M dashes. | ||
Yeah, okay. | ||
No one writing something online uses M dashes. | ||
unidentified
|
I do. | |
What's M dashes? | ||
It's when you look at a long dash for me. | ||
You never see it. | ||
You never see it. | ||
It's a dash. | ||
A longer dash. | ||
Instead of using a colon or a semicolon, you break up the subject or whatever with a long dash. | ||
Nobody does that. | ||
AI does that. | ||
So when she published this, people were like, a PR firm used ChatGPT to generate an apology and posted it. | ||
And then everyone attacked her like crazy. | ||
Made things worse. | ||
And you know what probably happened? | ||
She probably then went to an actual PR firm and they said, stop pouring gas on the fire. | ||
Delete your account. | ||
I feel like that's more gas. | ||
She could turn it back on. | ||
no, no, instead of walking away and not doing anything. | ||
Technically, you're right, but I think she probably got rid of it because her phone was just constantly going blowing up. | ||
You got to deactivate. | ||
You can't use it anymore. | ||
With the sports thing with the men and women sports, I think there's two things that are happening at once. | ||
There's the fairness of it, like having a six-foot dude that is taking chemicals and wearing a wig and just beating on a girl or blowing past her in the pool, obviously is bizarre in some ways to a lot of people. | ||
That's happening. | ||
But then there's the whole trans thing that happened over the last 10 years, like Chloe Cole. | ||
When she was, I think, 14, she transitioned to a boy, had her breasts removed, and then she woke up and realized, what the fuck is going? | ||
What have these people told me? | ||
What have these doctors done to me? | ||
And now she travels the world explaining what she's gone through. | ||
And all these kids are waking up and realizing they're okay. | ||
You are. | ||
You are you. | ||
As I was explaining earlier about my daughter who a burp was the worst experience she's ever had because she's a baby. | ||
A 14 year old is also limited in their experiences and don't understand. | ||
That's why we protect children. | ||
I took it for granted, man. | ||
I had Mr. Rogers and he who told me stuff that my parents had told me, you're okay just who you are. | ||
That's okay. | ||
And I just don't, I just took it for granted that everyone, I thought everyone was told that. | ||
Yeah, but now, you know, I'm really, really freaked out and disgusted by Coco Melon and Miss Rachel and stuff like this. | ||
It is nightmare dystopia level stuff. | ||
I mean, I feel like if you went back 20 years and not maybe go to the 90s, go to the early 90s and make a film where in the future, when a baby cries, the parent takes a stone crying stone and puts it in front of the baby and presses play. | ||
And a woman just stares at her and goes, oh, they'd be like, this is a nightmare. | ||
What is going on? | ||
And it's like, in the year 2025, parents no longer look at their kids. | ||
The machine teaches your children. | ||
And then it's not just Coco Melon and Miss Rachel. | ||
A lot of this kids programming is deranged. | ||
Like, now we can talk about El Segate and all the really weird stuff, but even the general kids stuff where it's like counting and it's some like fat, disgusting guy who's like barking and making strange sounds and then like hitting things with hammers. | ||
I'm like, parents are putting this in front of their kids. | ||
Their brains will be turned to jello. | ||
It's crazy to me that there's popular channels for kids to watch other kids open up toys and play with them. | ||
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
That is so crazy. | ||
And they're like millions and millions of views. | ||
That's huge. | ||
It's because parents don't want to watch their kids. | ||
Yeah, they've outsourced it to everything, public schools to YouTube. | ||
Well, this happened today as well. | ||
My daughter started crying because she wanted to watch The Five. | ||
She wanted to watch. | ||
Jean Shapiro's not on anymore, right? | ||
Jean Shapiro? | ||
She's not on anymore. | ||
And your daughter's not going to be able to do it. | ||
No, she loves Gutfeld. | ||
Oh, Gutfeld, okay. | ||
And so she's crying. | ||
And then, you know, my wife is like, you know, what's wrong? | ||
And she burps her. | ||
And then when she holds her down, she looks straight up at the TV and then stops crying. | ||
And my wife's like, absolutely not. | ||
Yeah, that happened to me when I was four with the Atari. | ||
I remember my cats died and I was crying. | ||
And I came in, I sat down and played Atari and immediately stopped crying. | ||
I was like, I'm not sad. | ||
And I remember as a four-year-old thinking, if I'm ever sad, I can play video games and it'll go away. | ||
This is a true story, by the way. | ||
When Jesse Waters is on the screen, my daughter cries. | ||
It's not just Jesse, it's everybody. | ||
When Greg is on, she stops and she just stares. | ||
I was going to just interface. | ||
I think we're hearing who you like and don't like through your daughter. | ||
I think Jesse Waters is fantastic. | ||
And I think the Cast of the Five is all fantastic, except for Tarlov. | ||
She is the absolute worst. | ||
She goes on the five and she's like, did you see, and her mouth shakes side. | ||
Like, what is up, Jessica? | ||
What is up with the, I hope you're listening. | ||
Have you noticed liberals, when they talk, their mouth goes like this? | ||
Destiny like that. | ||
Talking like this. | ||
And their mouth swings left and right when they're talking. | ||
I'm like, why is their jaw doing that? | ||
Adderall. | ||
It's called meth mouth. | ||
It's Adderall. | ||
I don't know if she does that. | ||
But anyway, I digress. | ||
I'm not trying to rag on her for the way her mouth moves. | ||
She says, Donald Trump's polling is now minus 16. It's so awful. | ||
And I'm like, every single day, the first thing we do is I pull up the aggregate of polling ratings for Trump on all of the issues as well as Congress. | ||
And I check those every day. | ||
Trump's actually been doing fairly well, slightly down. | ||
When you track across all polls, he's gone down a little bit across all the metrics, but he's chilling slightly below the margin of error, maybe around like minus four in aggregate. | ||
It's hard to know. | ||
She goes on TV and just says this, and I'm like, where's Jesse or anyone else to tell her she's wrong? | ||
To be like, that is incorrect. | ||
You've cherry-picked a random poll, which we call static. | ||
These people, these liberals, will wait until one poll gives a swing result and then go, oh, look how bad Trump is doing. | ||
And then if you actually track all the polls, you're like, Trump's down 0.3. | ||
It's not even that big of a big deal. | ||
An AI that is like an overlay on news that is constantly criticizing the newscaster and saying, this is right, this is wrong. | ||
You can't trust the AI. | ||
It's like asking fact checkers. | ||
That's true too, but like an open source product that you could apply to your Roku or something. | ||
You could definitely use it as a tool. | ||
You get that by watching streamers like Twitch. | ||
And as we just mentioned earlier, current versions of ChatGPT and Grok does this way worse. | ||
They make things up. | ||
100%. | ||
The crazy thing is Grok makes fake URLs. | ||
I haven't seen that. | ||
Yeah. | ||
I asked it for a news story and it said, here's a story about this thing. | ||
It gave me a link and I clicked it and it said, cannot find this story. | ||
So it looks like it's been deleted. | ||
But Grok was telling me a story happened that never happened using a fake link to a real website. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
Did Elon say some mean things to Grok this weekend or something? | ||
Grok said that the right is more violent than the left. | ||
And he responded, that's objectively false. | ||
We're going to fix it. | ||
It is objectively false. | ||
That's good. | ||
So what happens is the right is not organized. | ||
The right doesn't understand why protests are important. | ||
Protests are important for one reason. | ||
When a liberal opens their app and they see 500 people protesting and they're told the whole world has risen up, their brain sees a massive crowd and goes, wow, it's everyone. | ||
And then it's this tiny little group. | ||
They think they are the majority because they see a group of people on the screen. | ||
So when the right doesn't protest and doesn't organize, people on the left don't see this and they just think, but nobody supports the right. | ||
It's always the left. | ||
I think you can take that further and elected officials will vote one way or another depending on the amount of people they see rise up or on social media. | ||
How many postcards they get? | ||
Yeah, well, I mean, I saw that. | ||
I served on school board 2016 to 2020 after Parkland. | ||
And we were just two districts north of that. | ||
And we were voting on arming staff to protect schools. | ||
And for weeks, Mom's Demand Action came in and Red for Ed came in in their red shirts, thousands of them. | ||
All the things laying on the ground, tombstones, ketchup on them, or killing them because we wanted armed security in our schools. | ||
But we stood as an entire board and superintendent, who he was a Democrat. | ||
We had a, I think, a Democrat on the board, an independent, something like that. | ||
A mix of people, mostly conservative, but others too. | ||
And we stood in a press conference publicly and said we were going to support arming staff. | ||
Period, end of story. | ||
We're going to vote on this. | ||
We're bringing it for debate in one meeting and we're going to vote on the next meeting. | ||
After about six weeks of mom's demand action and Red Fred showing up in their red shirts, last man standing was me, the only one that voted for it on the night because of all the theatrics, because of all the protests. | ||
I live in a 60% red community that absolutely supported it, but they didn't come out to speak or to show up. | ||
Oh, because they were intimidated? | ||
I don't think they were intimidated. | ||
I think they were emotionally swayed. | ||
I watched it happen one by one. | ||
It just cave. | ||
What's worse, actually? | ||
I didn't know I never want to give anybody credit for starting Moms for Liberty, but I experienced that and I saw that. | ||
And so when I wanted to create a group to represent conservative values, to be impactful in school and policies that affect children and families and parental rights, what am I going to do? | ||
Well, we're going to have blue shirts. | ||
We're not going to have red shirts. | ||
We're going to do the same type of thing because there's no counter pushback. | ||
There's nobody else protesting from our side because we don't. | ||

Sailor Motico says Dave Smith's career only casualty in the U.S. career only casualty in U.S.-Iran war. | ||
Dave Smith's career is the only casualty in the war? | ||
Oh, I see. | ||
Dave Smith's career. | ||
Dave Smith is a North Star. | ||
I can't speak for him, but he's been principled and direct and honest and just essentially saying the same things for at least five years since I've ever known him. | ||
I've never seen him oscillate. | ||
He's probably learns new information and integrates it, but the guy's like, I mean, about as legit of a speaker as you can have. | ||
So I'm not sure, I don't quite understand that. | ||
All right. | ||

Sheergal says, can you add a sneak attack counter for the entertainment to the chat? | ||
unidentified
|
attack. | |
Trump did launch. | ||
I disagree in a sense. | ||
I guess it's fair to say negotiations ended, and Trump said he may or may not do it. | ||
So that's technically not a sneak attack. | ||
If he had said, we're not going to strike, let's get back to the negotiating table, and then did it. | ||
So it's half? | ||
Oh, well, I think it was a full-on sneak attack. | ||
They sent bombers out west to get them off the trail. | ||
That's not a sneak, though. | ||
That's a decoy. | ||
Oh, not necessarily. | ||
So sneak attack, it's a deceptive attack. | ||
However you want to call it. | ||
I mean, it's. | ||
Sneak attack implying it was done in secret to deceive them. | ||
You told them. | ||
They don't see them. | ||
He said, I may or may not do it. | ||
I will make a decision within two weeks. | ||
And then he did it. | ||
He also gave them 60 days and started attacking after this on the 61st day. | ||
And he'd also been saying that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon since like 2011. | ||
So it's not really a shock. | ||
There's warning. | ||
There were signs. | ||

Pinochet says, Tim, you asked what determines what sends someone to South Sudan. | ||
You need to understand what someone did to have to be sent to South Sudan and then shown the door. | ||

No. | ||
They're worried about one in New England. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Really? | ||
I heard there's a serial killer in Austin who kills gay dudes. | ||
Yeah, they find him in the river there, yeah. | ||
They think someone's drugging. | ||
There was a story where a guy said he went to a bar and he had someone get, he was not a gay guy. | ||
He got drugged off his drink and someone tried pushing him over and then he was able to get away or someone stopped it. | ||

I was talking to Thomas Massey earlier and I said, you know, because he was like, he doesn't want to vote for the Big Beautiful Bill. | ||
And I was like, yeah, but they got the Short Act and the Hearing Protection Act. | ||
And then he was like, he jokingly said, you know, maybe if they repeal the NFA, I'd vote for it or something. | ||
And I'm like, do it. | ||
Massey, when Trump calls and says, I want you to vote on the bill, say, repeal the NFA and I'll do it. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Like the good outweighs the bad. | ||
Come on, let's go. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
That was a good interview you guys did today. | ||
30 minutes on your channel? | ||
Yeah, I just talked about it. | ||
Massey. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Very familiar. | ||
You think he would? | ||
You think he'd compromise on it if he could get the NFA repeat? | ||
If repealing the NFA is so big, man. | ||
I don't know if he actually would, but. | ||
Do you know what the NFA is? | ||
National Firearms Act. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Vaguely familiar. | ||
Yeah, it should be repealed. | ||
Makes no sense. | ||
There was a photo of an ICE officer with a rifle and had a suppressor on it. | ||
And all these liberals are like, why does an ICE agent need a silencer? | ||
There's only one reason. | ||
Because they literally don't know anything about guns. | ||
It's like, guys, it's not going to go pew, pew, pew. | ||
It's going to go bang, bang, bang, but it will be safer for everybody. | ||
They don't get it. | ||
They don't get it. | ||

Things that are happening that are moving us closer to the war, you would move them in place. | ||

|
Oh, right. | |
Yeah, Tom Billie said when a nation's, what is it, debt to GDP ratio gets 130? | ||
And we're at like 122 and it's rapidly. | ||
128, is it? | ||
I don't know. | ||
He says that's when they collapse or what? | ||
That's when Civil War usually breaks out in a country. | ||
122. | ||
He's talking about something that Ray Dalyu probably said. | ||
We desperately need to resolve this economic system, but I think it's. | ||
Well, there's the other concern that the Pentagon warned of an Iranian cyber attack. | ||
Yeah. | ||
So, of course, some people are genuinely like, I think Iran's going to hit our grid. | ||
Then there are people saying the U.S. is going to intentionally sabotage the grid as a justification for going to war. | ||
Oh, didn't they take out a bunch of Iranian Bitcoin? | ||
Crypto in general. | ||
So do you have your Bitcoin and cold storage off the web yet? | ||
Because it might be a good idea. | ||
Might be a good idea. | ||
That's the crazy thing about crypto. | ||
Get your keys. | ||
Like someone robs a bank and steals all the gold, your money's gone. | ||
I got something called a ledger where I can plug it in my computer and get my keys local so they're not on like Binance. | ||
I hold a lot of my crypto local smart. | ||
Technically, it's still online. | ||
I just have the keys local. | ||

Ready to Rumble says, Tim is delusional thinking around can push a button that will cost the U.S. billions. | ||
Why haven't they, Tim? | ||
You are fake news. | ||
You are fake news. | ||
No, you're fake news. | ||
You know, who are you, huh? | ||
Just coming in here. | ||
Call each other names. | ||
Why haven't they? | ||
Because for the same reason, people who have hostages tend not to shoot them. | ||
Because once you get rid of your hostage, you have no leverage. | ||
The U.S. actually has real concerns that Iran has infiltrated industrial control systems in the U.S. and we don't know where. | ||
The likelihood that every adversarial nation has infiltrated every other nation's industrial control systems, I'd say is 100%. | ||
Much of the industrial control systems that we have in the United States are operating off software from 1970. | ||
And so it's a few lines of code that can be easily broken into. | ||
They've been over the past 15 or so years updating, but we're talking about something like 70,000 facilities across the United States. | ||
And so they can shut down water. | ||
They can shut down electricity. | ||
They can do all those things. | ||
Why haven't they yet? | ||
It's like asking, what, you really think the U.S. can press a button and fire 12 nuclear warheads? | ||
Why haven't they? | ||
Why hasn't the U.S. nuked Israel? | ||
I mean, sorry, nuked Iran. | ||
But so the argument then is that the U.S. doesn't have the capability to use nukes because the U.S. has never done it? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
It's because if Iran needs to, they could. | ||
Russia could too. | ||
And I'll reiterate the whole wiping your Bitcoin to zero tactic is not going after a government's money. | ||
It's the American people's money. | ||
So protect your assets, too. | ||
Alex Delbus is Alex Jones, Luke Berdkowski, The Hodgkins, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentez, Elijah Schaefer, MTG, Dave Smith, Tucker, Bannon, and others owe Trump a huge apology. | ||
Agreed. | ||
I as well. | ||
I have no issue with being wrong. | ||
In fact, I beg, I hope, and I pray that I was completely wrong about everything because we all have trauma from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. | ||
So when we see the escalation of conflict with Iran and we see the statements of people like Bolton and other neocons who have been calling for regime change and then Trump truths out, regime change? | ||
Maybe? | ||
We're all kind of like, holy crap, is it happening? | ||
If this ceasefire sticks and the war ends, then Trump will have hit a grand slam and I have no problem saying I was wrong and thank God I was. | ||
Yeah, just the ability, just because people are predicting, hey, this is what I think is going to happen, doesn't mean that that's what you want to happen. | ||
And a lot of people behave as if it is. | ||
It's like, oh, you said this. | ||
It's like, well, I was wrong and everybody's better for it. | ||
Templar Brethren says, Teddy Roosevelt, speak softly, but carry a big stick. | ||
You will go far. | ||
Seems close to what Trump has been doing recently. | ||
Indeed. | ||
I think Trump's intention with the we're going to think about it and then bombing them very much is a Trump has no problem pressing the button. | ||
If it were Biden as president, Iran would have been like, screw yourself. | ||
They have no fear. | ||
Not only do they think he wouldn't do it, but he'd be incapable of organizing and leading if that was the case. | ||
Not Trump. | ||
Trump probably called him up afterward and says, you want to play chicken? | ||
We'll play chicken and I'll press the button every time. | ||
Who the president is actually matters. | ||
And that's something that the left doesn't seem to believe. | ||
They think that they can, just so long as they, or they can put anyone in that seat and the results will be the same. | ||
But that's just patently false. | ||
That is not true at all. | ||
Also, the Secretary of Defense, like Lloyd Austin, he's like 80 or something. | ||
He went on vacation and didn't tell anybody went AWA. | ||
Went on medical leave and didn't tell anyone. | ||
That's an A wall. | ||
He went AWOL. | ||
And this old guy went A wall. | ||
That was our defense commander. | ||
So now we got a real warrior training with the troops in the morning, leading the department. | ||
So that's another. | ||
And it goes along with their entire ideology. | ||
If you think about it, everyone is the same. | ||
Everyone is equal. | ||
There is no real strong leader. | ||
There's no one smarter than anyone else. | ||
So why does it matter who's president or the secretary of defense if we're all the same? | ||
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump got on the phone with Iran right after the bombing and said, the next one's a nuke, and then just hung up. | ||
And then they're probably like, ugh. | ||
Because Trump famously said he called Putin and Xi and said, to Putin, if you invade Ukraine, I'll nuke Moscow. | ||
And he's like, I don't know if he believed me, maybe 5%, but it's enough. | ||
Same thing with Xi and Beijing. | ||
You move into Taiwan, I will nuke Beijing. | ||
They talk about back-channel communication, which I imagine means there's a whole other level of comms happening right now between nations that is not appearing on the news. | ||
Well, yeah, there's like a lot of times you'll talk to like, so one country won't talk to another, like the U.S. and Iran. | ||
Maybe they don't have a specific direct connection, but they'll both talk to Qatar. | ||
So the U.S. can tell people. | ||
That's what happened. | ||
Yeah, exactly. | ||
So like the U.S. talked to Qatar and Iran talked to Qatar and there's like, okay, the U.S. And then Iran fired missiles at Qatar. | ||
Yeah. | ||
They warned that they were about to do it. | ||
They fired as a kind of. | ||
Did they actually warn they were about to do it or was Trump just being cheeky? | ||
Oh, maybe they're pretty sure. | ||
Trump said because of the advanced notice, he might have just been saying, your missiles are shite. | ||
You know what I mean? | ||
I was under the impression that they actually did notify the Qataris, but. | ||
Well, then they're a bunch of losers because Iran's like, oh, no, U.S. attacked us. | ||
We're going to fire six missiles that will be easily intercepted. | ||
And then we're done. | ||
War's over. | ||
The Iranians don't know that. | ||
The people inside of Iran. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
They think they retaliated. | ||
Exactly. | ||
So to them, they'll just be like, well, this is what happened. | ||
And then they're going to come out of the news and say, we successfully dealt this amount of damage. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Those damn Jews, and we fought off the Americans. | ||
And yeah, you know, there were some casualties, but nothing that the Iranian regime. | ||
The great Satan and the little Satan. | ||
Don't worry. | ||
The righteous Iranian regime will persevere. | ||
Jordan Sturtevan says all the pundits attacking MAGA who disagreed with the Iran strikes are actively damaging the movement. | ||
Many view this as a violation of America First and attacking them for its a losing strategy. | ||
I agree. | ||
Really? | ||
Well, Trump went after Massey hard. | ||
And Massey was saying he's doing that for the other reps, not necessarily for him, because he's tried priming him before. | ||
But Massey's massively powerful. | ||
He wants to make an example out of Thomas Massey that if anyone else steps out of line, that they're going to get the Massey treatment. | ||
I think, though, him, I just still, I still haven't seen evidence that there was an imminent threat from Iran for him to launch a strike without going to Congress first. | ||
And that's Massey's. | ||
Didn't you see Trump yelled, they're coming right for us? | ||
Oh, he said that? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Okay, then I guess we're going to. | ||
And then he pressed the button, and the ships went. | ||
They're coming right for us. | ||
I love South Park. | ||
Yeah, that's a good one. | ||
We're not legally allowed to kill animals anymore unless they're an imminent threat. | ||
unidentified
|
So now we have to yell, it's coming right for us before we shoot it. | |
It worked. | ||
Yeah. | ||
America 76 says, I'd bet money that this wall, this was all agreed to prior to the nuclear strikes. | ||
Site strikes for regimes staying in power. | ||
It's why Iran appeared to be frozen out by Russia, Pakistan, etc. | ||
Possibly. | ||
The idea being that Trump went to Iran and said, we're going to bomb your sites, but we're not going to invade. | ||
And then Iran caved and said, okay. | ||
And then we blew them up, we left, and that was it. | ||
It does kind of seem a little pre-planned. | ||
I mean, I have, you know, I'm not an expert in this area, but the 12 Days War, as it's called now, which never was a war, actually. | ||
It's just fascinating to watch it all unfold. | ||
Maybe the reason that the U.S. did the strikes is because Iran in the negotiations said our people will never tolerate us dismantling our weapons. | ||
And then Trump said, we'll blow them up. | ||
So we'll target these sites. | ||
We'll bomb them. | ||
I don't know if I believe it considering they killed so many IRGC. | ||
Yeah, and also like the Iranian people don't really back the Iranian regime. | ||
So it's not like the Iranian people. | ||
I don't know that I believe that. | ||
No, no, no, no. | ||
Why? | ||
I mean, what's the source? | ||
American propaganda? | ||
The people of this country hate their government? | ||
Yeah, well, you can show videos of leftists protesting and tell people in North Korea Americans hate their government too. | ||
Fair enough. | ||
Like when we had that debate on Friday and the woman who was debating said that people in Iran largely support Israel. | ||
And I was like, no, they don't. | ||
She was like, they do. | ||
And I'm like, no one anywhere would support a foreign country bombing their nation. | ||
Even if you don't like your government, you don't want your soldiers to be blown up. | ||
That's ridiculous. | ||
Only if you want to be liberated like the French in World War II and the Americans came in, but they were being gentle with the infrastructures. | ||
And the Americans weren't attacking the French. | ||
No, after D-Day, when they landed in France and started rolling through and they were blowing up bridges and towns were getting blown up, but the French were still glad to see them. | ||
Because they were under occupation by a foreign government. | ||
They were being freed from them. | ||
So it's possible that these people in Iran feel like they're under occupation from this deocracy. | ||
Well, some may. | ||
I don't think they were blowing up villages either. | ||
They weren't aiming for civilians, but they would definitely take out buildings if the Nazis were in. | ||
If the Nazis in there shooting at them, yeah. | ||
They would blow up people's hometowns and stuff. | ||
Mountain Hope says, come on, man, I just bought Raytheon stocks. | ||
Sadface. | ||
Yeah, actually, the aftermarkets are not so good on some of these. | ||
Oil prices went down today. | ||
Right. | ||
Like 7%. | ||
Because speculation. | ||
So when Iran was threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, people started speculating. | ||
So they were like, we're going to buy it up now before the price spikes. | ||
Then when Trump announces a ceasefire, everyone's like, sell. | ||
Ceasefire. | ||
If it holds. | ||
unidentified
|
All right. | |
Shaquille Oatmeal says, Tim, huge thanks to you and your crew. | ||
My wife and I have been listening almost daily since 2020, shouting out our newborn son, Luca Riker Grande. | ||
Is that how you pronounce it? | ||
And my amazing wife, congratulations. | ||
Congrats, man. | ||
I think his name is pronounced Shaquille Oatmeal. | ||
Shaquille Oatmeal. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Oh, you said Shaquille Oatmeal, but I think it's oatmeal. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
You know, like Oatmeal. | ||
unidentified
|
Uh-huh. | |
Anyways. | ||
Sorry to ruin the joke, guys. | ||
unidentified
|
Oh. | |
I just hear the same thing. | ||
Oh, really? | ||
Oatmeal and oatmeal? | ||
The accent on the first syllable or the second syllable. | ||
The wrong and fastest on the syllable. | ||
Oatmeal is like Shaquille. | ||
Syllable. | ||
You put the wrong emphasis on the wrong syllable. | ||
Poking holes again. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Some people say pajamas. | ||
Some people say pajama. | ||
I say pajama. | ||
That's right. | ||
Pajama. | ||
Oh, my God. | ||
I'd never heard pajama enough. | ||
That was new to me. | ||
That was actually when I was like 12. I was hungry with my friends, and they were arguing over pajama versus pajama. | ||
And they were like half arguing, and they were like, which one is it, Tim? | ||
And I didn't want to get in the middle of the argument. | ||
So I may just went, Pajama. | ||
And then everyone said, that was what I was saying. | ||
I think you've made that up right now. | ||
You really have to use a 40-year-old joke. | ||
You've been in your pocket for decades. | ||
Decades. | ||
I'm sitting on that one. | ||
Yep. | ||
Pajama. | ||
Pajama. | ||
Pilgrim says, Trump fractured his base bigly. | ||
Many have noticed the underlying problem. | ||
Our government is all bought and paid for. | ||
Midterm's gone. | ||
2028 gone. | ||
MAGA gone sad. | ||
I don't disagree. | ||
I don't know for sure, but I agree somewhat in that I think the probability that I'll put it this way. | ||
I think there's a decent probability Trump just lost three or four points. | ||
Libertarian vote's gone. | ||
He's going to lose about a point and a half, two points from that. | ||
Two days ago, I was like, impeach him. | ||
Let's see what happens. | ||
Do it. | ||
If the impeachment's not good, then it won't go down. | ||
Massey said no. | ||
And Massey said, don't do it today. | ||
And I was like, well, okay. | ||
If he brings Massey back into the fold, will that help his libertarian numbers again? | ||
Well, it's more so about what he does that gets Massey in the fold. | ||
If Trump just came out and said, you know what, I'm sorry to Thomas Massey, he's a good dude, no. | ||
But if he came out and said, okay, we're going to negotiate with Massey Massey, what do you? | ||
And he says, repeal the NFA, and Trump said, we'll work on it, then the libertarians are going to start spanking themselves. | ||
I'm still of the opinion that, especially considering the way this seems to be working out, the only thing that's going to derail Trump is going to be a bad economy. | ||
Especially like, because a couple of days ago, we were talking about this, and I was hypothetically saying, if this were to go like this, right? | ||
Like there's just the strikes, we don't invade, there's nothing else, Iran just does, you know, some kind of, some kind of like wave the white flag or whatever, and it doesn't turn into a big war, then the only thing that's going to be able to take Trump out would be something unforeseen, like a black swan event between now and the midterms or the economy. | ||
That's it. | ||
And I'm shocked at how well he's navigated this, to be honest with you. | ||
I'm a little surprised that Iran has actually done what everyone kind of hoped they would do. | ||
I kind of thought they were a little more crazy. | ||
But I don't see this being a problem for MAGA because it doesn't get us into a long, drawn-out war. | ||
If the conditions on the ground change, yes. | ||
But if it doesn't get us into a war and this is done and over, this is not going to be any different to Soleimani. | ||
If this ceasefire holds, Trump is going to be having a victory proof. | ||
I'd be figuratively, but like, wow. | ||
Yeah. | ||
To pull off a surgical strike like this, and then that basically shuts the escalation down and then we don't get a furtherance of the war. | ||
Wow. | ||
So it'll be massive, my friends. | ||
We're going to go to that uncensored portion of the show. | ||

|
Whoa, what the hell? | |
I think it deleted my tweet. | ||
No. | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
Did it go to your tracks? | |
No, no, I posted. | ||
It's on my phone. | ||
I can see it. | ||
Yo, it's not here. | ||
unidentified
|
Look. | |
If I go to my replies, look, it's not coming up. | ||
Yo, I think they censored it. | ||
Oh, no. | ||
So check this out. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, we got a huge announcement for you guys. | ||
Don't be gay. | ||
Don't do it. | ||
Don't be gay. | ||
Go to boonieshq.com and don't be gay. | ||
Or be gay. | ||
I hear you could also be gay. | ||
All right, here's what you do. | ||
You go to boonieshq.com announcing our Pride Month collection. | ||
We've got this skateboard, which is just a white skateboard with big black letters that says, don't be gay. | ||
That's all it is for Pride Month. | ||
No colors, no rainbows, nothing. | ||
Just a scolding. | ||
Now, here's the best part. | ||
Scolding. | ||
Somebody tweeted at me. | ||
Why are you obsessed with gays? | ||
Are you gay? | ||
To which I responded, we got one for you too. | ||
That's right. | ||
Maybe you want to be gay. | ||
I want to be gay. | ||
Finally, equal rights for all, man. | ||
That's right. | ||
And somebody commented, what did they say? | ||
So glad you saved this one for the comments. | ||
Roasted him. | ||
Indeed, that was the plan. | ||
The idea was we knew we were going to get a ton of shit for Don't Be Gay, which is just meant to be a joke, making fun of all the bullshit. | ||
And I was like, as soon as someone says something like, what's your problem, man? | ||
I'm going to be like, oh, here's yours. | ||
Be gay. | ||
You know, just for you. | ||
And the other issue is that, like, it's not an X. Or at least I think I could pull it up on my phone, but look at this. | ||
There was a post here a second ago. | ||
Where'd it go? | ||
Let me see if I can pull it up on like a different browser or something. | ||
You can see it? | ||
Yeah, on our browser, it's gone. | ||
It's just not there. | ||
And it's my pinned... | ||
It's not there. | ||
That's weird. | ||
Is that on your... | ||
I can see it in my. | ||
Okay, what browser? | ||
There it is. | ||
There it is. | ||
It's gone. | ||
You see that? | ||
Yo, what's up with that? | ||
Maybe an X-bog. | ||
Yeah, it disappeared again. | ||
Anyway, I just posted our Pride Month board, and the concern was, don't be gay. | ||
They'd be like, that's hink. | ||
So we were like, no, no, no, no. | ||
We're equal opportunity here. | ||
We have be gay and don't be gay. | ||
Be gay, don't be gay. | ||
Be gay, don't be gay. | ||
And there's not that many. | ||
They're going to sell out instantly. | ||
I already got mine. | ||
I already did. | ||
As soon as you told me. | ||
Yeah, there really are. | ||
There's only a couple hundred, aren't there? | ||
Not even right now. | ||
There will be a total of 250 in the first run. | ||
And right now, ready to go out the door, I think we might only have like 50 of each. | ||
Okay. | ||
So they're probably going to sell out in 20 minutes. | ||
49. Yeah. | ||
I think Serge might have got one. | ||
I think Serge got one. | ||
Some people tell me they were going to get as many as they can. | ||
They're going to get like five. | ||
unidentified
|
And he got both. | |
Andy got two of them. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
And so, but there will be a total of 250. | ||
And then if they sell out, we'll probably, usually what we do is they sell out one run, and then we launch another one. | ||
The reason why they're done in small batches like that is skateboards, they're 55 bucks. | ||
They're not like, you know, a pad of paper. | ||
And so if we, if after everybody's like, nah, nah, we bought the don't be good, we don't want anymore, we don't want to sit on, you know, 250 boards we can't sell. | ||
I think mine was $77 with shipping. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Is it American All-American made? | ||
All-American made. | ||
And so all-American, everything including labor. | ||
So we've got to, we're trying to figure out why the shipping costs are so high, but they are. | ||
Because it's like a small shop that does all of the labor. | ||
And that's why. | ||
So you want to buy as much as you can at once. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Because there's like a flat rate for shipping, which is pretty heavy. | ||
So go buy both of them. | ||
Includes handling or something. | ||
We have another one coming out that's not available due to an error, but I'll just announce that one now. | ||
The skateboard behind me with the former independent logo and now the Timcast skate company logo. | ||
We have a board coming out that says uncancelable and it has that symbol on it. | ||
We claimed That years ago, after the story is independent skateboard company, one of the most iconic skateboard companies in the world, they make trucks. | ||
They make the metal hanger part of the board. | ||
They used that symbol for decades, 50 some odd years, and then were called racist because it looks like an iron cross. | ||
So they abandoned it, removed it from all their products and their website. | ||
The moment they did, I said, that's my logo. | ||
It's an abandoned trademark. | ||
And we took it and we sold these boards and we've had them for years. | ||
And it sits behind me on hundreds of episodes of the show. | ||
So it is officially ours now. | ||
Year 19 or 2015 to 2020. | ||
Those years were all a mistake. | ||
I remember those years, those mistakes. | ||
Hey, I want to ask you guys about a kind of a spiritual question. | ||
Don't be gay. | ||
I know we're talking about it. | ||
I can't be gay anymore. | ||
I've already gay. | ||
I've been gay. | ||
I used to dance around and throw my hands in the air. | ||
It was the gayest of times. | ||
Like you did not care? | ||
I was in the theater. | ||
So, okay, hear me out, guys. | ||
I want to talk about this weird spiritual thing that happened to me. | ||
I was walking out in my back porch and I kept a couple weeks ago, I started thinking, like, I live in the Garden of Eden. | ||
I live in this like isolated little pocket of, um, in the forest, this like little clearing. | ||
It's up a hill down from a road and between a river and a, and, um, like a freeway. | ||
So there's no predators. | ||
So it's all these prey animals and it's like deer grazing in the yard and rabbits walk. | ||
Literally, I walk out and there'll be like three deer, deer laying down. | ||
They just look at me and chill. | ||
And I'm like, I live in the Garden of Eden. | ||
And then a couple of days ago, I told Tim that like last week, last Friday. | ||
And then all of a sudden on Saturday, a big black snake appeared. | ||
Literally, this like five and a half foot long. | ||
It's a black rat snake. | ||
And I'm wondering, like, is this a simulation? | ||
Am I man? | ||
Did I manifest that snake? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
So is it inevitable? | ||
Are we leaving? | ||
Tempted the fates. | ||
When you go outside, they're a snake sometimes. | ||
It just sits there on top of my sauna, right above my shower. | ||
Really? | ||
A foot away from my face when I'm showering, and he looks at me. | ||
Oh, and we look at each other. | ||
Are you showering outside? | ||
There's that shower next to the sauna. | ||
Yeah, it's cold water. | ||
Yeah, yeah. | ||
I'll just go in the sauna, get hot, come out, hit myself with cold, go back in, fill up the button. | ||
It's so nice. | ||
Ian lives in a literal castle. | ||
It is literally kind of, yeah. | ||
A mansion. | ||
It's a huge, 10-bedroom, one of the most amazing old studio. | ||
Sometimes I'll be alone and I'll be like, I'm alone, but I'm living a life of luxury alone. | ||
And it's like, what a fucking. | ||
Were you going to say something? | ||
I am just enjoying the conversation. | ||
Do you think there is a God? | ||
And you don't have to answer that question directly, but what do you think about the universe and what's happening with reality? | ||
Okay, maybe I can ask a more direct question unless you want to take it from there. | ||
A more direct question would be. | ||
Do you think that we're in a simulation? | ||
What do you think about God? | ||
Do you think we're in like a simulation, a god-like simulation of creation that we're kind of co-creating? | ||
Or do you think it's like hard matter that you break it, it's like your body dies and it's gone? | ||
No, no, no, not at all. | ||
So I have a very deep faith. | ||
I believe God created man and woman, all of the biblical theology for sure. | ||
But in a very spiritual sense, I do believe we're co-creators, especially as women. | ||
I mean, we grow human beings in our body, but we don't create their spirits. | ||
Their spirits are placed in. | ||
So I'm happy to answer any religious or spiritual questions that you want to discuss or talk about. | ||
I think the spirit of the snake heard me, heard me calling out this. | ||
I wasn't thinking about snakes. | ||
It didn't, but then a big black snake. | ||
And then that night that I met the snake, I ate a big red pepper. | ||
I didn't think about it. | ||
I didn't have an apple, but it looked like an apple. | ||
I don't know if that matters, but I was just refreshing after the sauna. | ||
Are we having a serious conversation right now or not? | ||
Is he pranking me? | ||
Is that what's going on? | ||
I like Ian. | ||
Is he pranking me? | ||
No. | ||
He's a good friend. | ||
These guys are awesome. | ||
Serge is the man, by the way. | ||
No, no, I'm not. | ||
I feel like you guys brought me in here to prank me right now. | ||
Just a weird thing to ask. | ||
You are not on like. | ||
Gotcha or something? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
So the pepper, I mean, I think you did that on purpose. | ||
I don't know at this point. | ||
I do think that there's a level of spirituality, and I do think that, you know, spirits can communicate in some kind of way if you really want to, you know, get into some thoughts there. | ||
But I don't know about the red pepper. | ||
Now you're just throwing me for a little bit. | ||
My final question. | ||
Should I communicate with the snake? | ||
I know. | ||
You should probably remove the snake from where you are and take the shower in peace so that you're not being harassed by a snake. | ||
It's yelling wars code. | ||
Snake's chilling. | ||
What's the problem? | ||
If I move towards the snake, the snake will move towards me. | ||
See, here's the thing. | ||
You joke with him, and I'm trying to answer him seriously, and I don't even know if it's a joke. | ||
It's just because he's nuts. | ||
No, it's all real. | ||
I just, I talked to the snake. | ||
I just haven't really commanded the snake to talk to me in that way. | ||
What's wrong with Chicken City? | ||
Is anybody still left? | ||
No, it's empty. | ||
It's like, it's beautiful. | ||
It's a huge garden where all the deer eat. | ||
And yeah. | ||
The fencing was removed? | ||
Is this fencing still there? | ||
Wait, wait, wait, hold on. | ||
There's a lot of chickens there. | ||
They're going inside now. | ||
Yeah, one of them will, maybe they jump over the fence. | ||
So you see like one in the garden? | ||
The fence is six feet tall. | ||
But they're deer. | ||
I don't know, but I saw one. | ||
I saw one inside that over the last month. | ||
I've only seen one inside. | ||
The gate must be open. | ||
Maybe. | ||
But it's all regrown and all lush now. | ||
Yeah, it's beautiful. | ||
Because the chickens aren't walking around and pooping all the way. | ||
And the grass is well maintained because someone will come by and mow the yard. | ||
It's our old snow. | ||
It's great. | ||
So it's a big property with a massive building. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Okay. | ||
It's one of Tim's houses. | ||
Well, it's got a story, but it's a bunch of offices and like the old IRL studios there. | ||
And then Ian's got a room there now. | ||
And there's chickens. | ||
There were. | ||
They're all here. | ||
Chickens were streamed in Times Square, someone told me this morning. | ||
Roberto Jr. had a 95-foot tall billboard. | ||
Two of them actually in Times Square. | ||
Yeah, Roberto. | ||
Yeah, the chickens were legit. | ||
Roberto Jr. had a heart attack and died suddenly. | ||
It's like 100 feet out of my window. | ||
My condolences. | ||
You ever live with me? | ||
RB3 is the new king. | ||
Roberto Beaks III. | ||
unidentified
|
This all sounds so fake, dude. | |
It's all real, though. | ||
That's the craziest part. | ||
Can you have some sympathy for me over here? | ||
Because I have no idea how to hold my own. | ||
That's exactly why he said it all sounds so fake. | ||
Ian is crazy, but we do have a chicken coop that we live stream at chickencitylive.com. | ||
And to promote it, I bought two Times Square billboards that are 95 feet tall and we put the rooster on it. | ||
Okay. | ||
unidentified
|
And I'll respond. | |
that sounds very normal. | ||
Okay. | ||
Yeah. | ||
That's the best part. | ||
Why is it? | ||
Honest question. | ||
I go to Times Square and it's all the exact same dumb bullshit. | ||
And I'm like, where the fuck is anyone doing anything weird? | ||
How come no one's putting up a giant billboard of a fucking chicken? | ||
I guess I have to do it. | ||
So I did. | ||
I'll respond to Tim's heinous criticism of me being crazy. | ||
I don't think I'm crazy. | ||
But when you see two people speaking a language you don't understand, you might accidentally be like, they're not making any sense. | ||
Well, I think that I broke my brain in like 2006 and started to see God. | ||
It was the drug. | ||
Something changed me. | ||
It was a lot of weed and a lot of internet video looking at my face, listening to myself, talking about the truth. | ||
And all of a sudden, I mean, my reality shifted. | ||
I stopped blinking. | ||
Literally, I will go 20 minutes without blinking sometimes. | ||
And I had to learn how to re-blink again because what the fuck is wrong with you? | ||
Joe stares at the sun. | ||
I gaze at the sun. | ||
And he thinks he can change the weather, too. | ||
Well, yeah, you got a magnetic field, your body, and so does the earth, and the clouds are magnetic. | ||
So there must be common sense or logic would dictate that there's an interference between your magnetic field and the clouds and magnetic field. | ||
Common sense would indicate because you have a magnetic field in your body that you can change the weather. | ||
Mons we don't understand. | ||
Monster Mangler. | ||
Monster Mangler in the chat says, I too think you broke your brain. | ||
Yeah, I broke it, but I fixed it again. | ||
I almost killed myself in like 2010. | ||
Legit. | ||
I'd given up. | ||
I thought the liberal economic order was going to, everything was fucked. | ||
I didn't know I was going to be an actor. | ||
And then I changed and I had to rebuild who I am. | ||
And for a long time, I just hid in the, because I'm so weird. | ||
So I would hide it away. | ||
But now I'm aggressive with it because I feel like, what fuck, what do we have to lose at this point? | ||
Well, and it sounds like you're loved for it. | ||
So it's great. | ||
And hated. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Let's go to callers. | ||
We're going to bring in Angry Fat White Guy. | ||
Oh, boy. | ||
Angry Fat White Guy. | ||
What's up, man? | ||
unidentified
|
Hey, everyone. | |
How you doing? | ||
Doing well. | ||
unidentified
|
I'll just start out and say, Ian, I love you, man. | |
Don't ever change. | ||
Oh, thanks. | ||
We already got one of the boards sold out. | ||
Oh, it did? | ||
Eight fives are sold out. | ||
Don't be gay just sold out. | ||
We were just talking about. | ||
No, no, no, no, no. | ||
One of the sides of Don't Be Gay is now sold out. | ||
There's still three sizes available. | ||
Get it while you can. | ||
Hey, thank you for saying that, man. | ||
Firstly, what is your name? | ||
But secondly, I keep changing. | ||
Everything is in constant flux. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I mean, stay you. | |
And the other guys bagging on them. | ||
I just want to say, someday you're going to find out that you would write about everything. | ||
And it's going to rock your world. | ||
Moving on to my question. | ||
So now that the whole Iran thing seems to be settling down, it looks like we might have, you know, quote, peace in the area. | ||
The issue remains with the Palestinians. | ||
And for decades, that's been the singular issue that all of the Arab states have pointed to and justified this as well. | ||
We don't like Israel. | ||
This is why we hate Israel. | ||
They're the occupiers. | ||
So we're not going to have peace. | ||
There's not going to be a lasting peace unless we have a viable Palestinian state. | ||
And it's got to be contiguous. | ||
It's going to have to have access to the net. | ||
And it's going to require, you know, some of those regional nations like Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. | ||
They're going to have to cede territory. | ||
And, you know, the idea of just creating an artificial state, it isn't new in the region. | ||
I mean, that's basically how it was all carved up before. | ||
But without that, how do we get peace? | ||
Like, what is the solution? | ||
Let's solve this. | ||
This is completely non-controversial and easy. | ||
And I'll pick your answer. | ||
There's different ways to get peace. | ||
One way is you can level everything to the ground and then it's nice and quiet and peaceful. | ||
That's not the way we want to accomplish it. | ||
So it's really about how are we going to get there? | ||
Dear God, it looks like the Israeli government wants to colonize, displace the entire population. | ||
I can't tell. | ||
I mean, maybe that's hyperbolic, but I don't know. | ||
I don't know. | ||
What do you? | ||
Well, there's 2 million Arabs that are Israeli citizens. | ||
So they're not trying to get rid of everybody. | ||
I was just thinking about in Gaza. | ||
Is it more general? | ||
Just about the people living together in Israel is what we're talking about? | ||
Not just the Gaza, Israel and Gaza that are Israeli citizens. | ||

I'm asking about a two-state solution. | |
And I don't think Gaza can stick in the hand of the Palestinians. | ||
It has to be a contiguous state. | ||
I think we're a long, long, very long way away from a two-state solution. | ||
From any solution, to be honest with you. | ||
I think October 7th changed that calculation pretty significantly. | ||
If you talk to Israel, they're going to say, hey, we've been out of the Gaza Strip since, whatever, 2005 or whatever it was in the aughts. | ||
And what did we get for it? | ||
We got October 7th for 20 years of not being in Gaza with no Jews in there at all. | ||
We pulled people out of their homes that lived in the Gaza Strip. | ||
And now 20 years later, we get October 7th and a war with Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis and Iran. | ||
So what kind of situation arises or manifests in Gaza as they possibly try to rebuild it? | ||
I don't know what they're going to do with it. | ||
I don't know. | ||
But it's not going to be like, okay, we're going to have a two-state solution in the next six months or a year. | ||
And the people of Gaza, the Palestinians in Gaza, are going to be able to link up with the Palestinian Authority and the West Bank. | ||
And everyone's going to be able to go ahead and create a Palestinian state. | ||
And there'll be two-state solution. | ||
And blah, blah, blah. | ||
That ain't happening for a long, long time. | ||
The Israelis are going to actually occupy, the IDF is going to be in Gaza for a long time. | ||
It's not going to be give it back to the Palestinians and let them do what they want there. | ||
There's going to be an occupation. | ||
I've heard from, I don't know, it's Dave Smith, somebody was telling me that Netanyahu was involved in setting up Hamas in 2003 or something in order to make sure they will never have a two-state solution because they needed a villain to attack. | ||
I don't know if that's true, but this is what I've heard. | ||
But then I spent, like I said over the weekend on the main show, like a two and a half hour conversation with Gal G on Twitter. | ||
She graciously invited me up to talk. | ||
And there's a lot of Israelis in the conversation. | ||
I was like, well, what if, I just brought up, like, I don't trust the news. | ||
What if October 7th was allowed? | ||
Like they waited because it took them hours to respond. | ||
And they acknowledged that. | ||
But the people, like some of the Israelis that were talking to me, they said it's impossible that our government would have allowed it. | ||
They used the word impossible. | ||
And I remember the cognitive dissonance when I started thinking about 9-11 and the potential that maybe our government was involved in that breaking that cognitive dissonance, the pain of considering maybe the people you love are actually villains. | ||
And I think a lot of people in Israel are still in that place. | ||
So it would make it challenging to find peace if that's what they think. | ||
You can gently educate people. | ||
Often people have to want to learn in order to learn. | ||
So you can subvert them with music and get them comfortable enough to listen to you, and then you can educate them. | ||
Or comedy, movies, things like that. | ||
I think that's the path towards diplomatic resolution is using the arts and entertainment to disarm the fear so that then you can educate. | ||
That answer your question. | ||

I'm glad you brought up October 7th because just prior to October 7th, Saudi Arabia was literally imminently going to officially normalize relations with Israel. | |
And I think October 7th was facilitated in part by Iran. | ||
Because over there, you got the GCC, the Gulf Cooperation Council, which is six of the major Gulf states. | ||
And they're basically set up against Iran. | ||
They're their own NATO organization that is set up in opposition to Iran, just like NATO was against the Soviet Union. | ||
And I think Saudi would have been the straw that broke the Tamil's back, so to speak, in terms of Iran's ability to tolerate it. | ||
Because Iran is terrified of Israel, and Iran is terrified of a united GCC, you know, Saudi and the Emirates. | ||
And if they had normalized relationships with Israel, that's just a bigger problem for them to have to deal with. | ||
And then there's the other issue, the relationships between the governments, like the government of Saudi Arabia or the Emirates or Qatar, they might be warming towards Israel, but the populations of those countries are not. | ||
And what October 7th did, you know, immediately the whole world was sympathetic towards Israel. | ||
And then they went into Gaza, and it has really driven a wedge. | ||
And the antipathy that was already there in those countries was just ramped up to 11. So they've got to deal with the Palestinian issue sooner or later. |
