Armed Man CHARGES Capitol With SHOTGUN, CIVIL WAR FEVER | Timcast IRL #1451 w/ Rep Riley Moore
Rep. Riley Moore joins Tim Pool to dissect rising threats against Republicans, from Carter Camacho’s Capitol shotgun charge to Antifa harassment targeting his family, contrasting West Virginia’s self-defense laws with restrictive states like Maryland. He warns of Democratic overreach—Virginia’s redistricting eliminating four GOP seats, AOC’s foreign policy blunders at Munich (e.g., stumbling on Taiwan), and communist tactics like raiding NYC’s retirement funds while hiking property taxes. Moore speculates on purging the Supreme Court to align with conservative views, mocking leftist economic ignorance and questioning whether justices prioritize precedent or political backlash. The episode ends by framing institutional decay as a ticking time bomb, with AI advancements and hyperpolarized politics accelerating potential chaos—unless self-defense and ideological clarity prevail. [Automatically generated summary]
A man in a tactical vest, armed with a loaded shotgun and additional rounds, got out of vehicle and stormed towards the Capitol before he was apprehended, charged and arrested we don't know his motive just yet, and things like this do happen, so maybe it's nothing, but I got to be honest, considering just the other day, there was a transgender unhinged individual who went up and shot up his family at this hockey ring.
There are t-shirts being sold celebrating political violence, the ICE attacks, threats, violence escalation, all of that at the ground level.
And then at the political level, you have the redistricting where Virginia recently got approval from their Supreme Court to wipe out four Republican seats.
So the conversation's basically coming to an end.
I look at a story like this in D.C. and I say, ah, that freaks me out.
Because the issue is, it's always a grain of sand that eventually makes the heap, right?
That's the saying that I often use.
At what point is this not just some one-off crazy person, but the beginnings of a pattern or some kind of trend?
And maybe, just maybe, we all beg, we hope, and we pray that this was just some lone nut crazy guy who believes crazy things who tried attacking the Capitol by himself for some dumb reason.
The scarier thing is that, of course, he's by himself, but what if he's motivated by mainstream ideology of any faction?
I don't know.
Presumably, we're going to see this on the left because of the violence coming from the left.
But if it is this fervor generated by the online resentment or just general political disarray, that's where things are getting scary.
And so I look at this story, and there's a bunch of others where you can see that there's no conversation happening between the left and the right, only escalation.
And the question that we've asked on this show is: where is the off-ramp?
So let's analyze this story and see if there's actually anything going on there.
And then we've got some fun stories for you.
Fun is in nightmarish and terrifying.
Like Zorhan Mamdani announced that he's raiding the retirement funds, their rainy day funds for the city, cranking up property taxes.
And I kid you not, holy crap, literally crap all over the streets of New York City.
These videos are insane.
And the question is, what happened as soon as he got in?
What did he drop that just caused this chaos in New York?
But surprise, surprise, all of these people thought Zorhan Mamdani was going to come for the rich.
Instead, he's going after literally everybody, looting their retirements and their rainy day fund because that's what communists do.
And then, of course, AOC at the Munich Security Conference sounding like an idiot.
Of course, the question is: why was she there?
The presumption is she wants to run for president.
Well, fortunately for us, she sounded so stupid.
I think a lot of people are like, this lady should not be president.
But when has policy or facts ever gotten in the way of someone who has charisma, right?
He can, well, he can maneuver his way through any conversation.
Unfortunate for people like Gary Johnson, who actually just tries to be honest and says, What is Aleppo?

And more importantly, I think there's probably a lot of stuff you can contribute.
I know, you know, one of the most powerful things about a show like this is the decentralization and the information exchange of the audience.
We got this from CNN man in tactical vest with loaded shotgun arrested after charging U.S. Capitol.
Police say an 18-year-old in a tactical vest.
We get it.
Police identified the man as Carter Camacho of Smyrna, Georgia, and said he acted alone.
They are working to determine a motive.
Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan said Camacho, armed with a loaded shotgun, carrying additional rounds, drove a white Mercedes SUV near the Capitol before exiting and running toward the building.
He was intercepted by Capitol Police, who drew their firearms and told him to drop his gun and get on the ground.
Camacho complied and laid down before being arrested and taken into custody.
Who knows what could have happened if we didn't have officers?
The individual had a tactical vest on, the chief said, as well as tactical gloves.
Police have charged Camacho with carrying a rifle without a license, having an unregistered fireman and ammunition, as well as unlawful activities.
He was not previously known to Capitol Police.
Now, I will say we hear stories about this from time to time of some whack-aloon doing something crazy at the Capitol.
And I would argue one of two things.
If this guy was serious, why would he dress in the most obvious way imaginable with a large weapon and run for it?
If he got out of the vehicle and just walked, most people probably would not have noticed that much.
Someone might have stopped and said, excuse me, what are you doing?
But the clothes that he's wearing might just look military to the average person.
And if he's calmly walking, they might not think that much about it.
I would also then counter my own argument with stupid people are stupid and they do stupid things because they're stupid.
I made this point on the noon live, and I've said it previously, is the very scary thing that's happening in the United States is we're getting a higher and higher proportion of the population that literally has nothing to lose.
And this is another example of that.
This is just a guy that for a myriad of reasons literally has nothing to lose.
So he's a crazy person, yes.
But a crazy person with nothing to lose is a serious problem.
We saw it last night in Rhode Island.
Now we're seeing it today, literally in our nation's capital.
It's a really terrifying time that we're in because, okay, yes, this guy, whatever, he was bum rushing with tactical gear on.
What happens when those people actually get serious?
What happens when these people that have nothing to lose get serious?
But about this moron who showed up to the Capitol with a tactical shotgun, what I can say, this is the most I can say: there are increased security questions, threats, and problems at the U.S. Capitol over last year.
And so, are these are like, I don't know if classified is the right word, but they don't want people going on and talking about the security issues that they're experiencing.
And look, I'm one person, but this is happening increasingly to members of Congress, but specifically Republican members of Congress.
Of course, there's security issues for people like Elon Omar and AOC, and given their stature and all that, and things that they talk about.
But there are increasing threats to all Republican members of Congress.
If you go look at the last appropriations bill, what's called the Ledge Branch Bill, you will see in there that there is a pot of money that was put in to increase security for members of Congress.
I'm actually the vice chair of that subcommittee, so I can't talk about the other stuff too much.
But that money is there for a reason.
It is there for a reason where members of Congress can now contract armed security.
I mean, I want just universal carry in the Capitol.
I think we should be able to capital carry and all that stuff.
You can get the concealed weapons permit to carry within the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., as a member of Congress, but you got to go through this very lengthy process of getting the concealed permit, which basically nobody gets in Washington.
But yeah, I and Paulina Luna, she's got a bill on this, which we are going to take up in the House.
We are going to take up in the House.
We're going to take up the Stock Trading Act that's coming up for sure.
We have gone through that piece of legislation.
We're going to vote on it.
It's going to be a question of what the Senate does on that bill.
I know a lot of people listening are probably really upset that Pelosi's retiring because now you're going to be able to pick your stocks based on what she's picking.
For those that don't know, Jim Kramer, the famous stock TV guy, if you only were to have bought the opposite of what he said to buy, you would have better returns than Nancy Pelosi, who is accused of insider trading to enrich herself.
I'll say, let's jump to this and keep the conversation going on what we saw at the Capitol.
We've got this from New York Fashion Design Network.
That's right.
It's the anti-fascist okay flag shirt.
It's modeled off of the Gazen flag, essentially.
It's a guy saying, okay.
And as you can see, it is what would one, it is an individual one would describe as a chungus cocking his fist back.
And it's based off of punching a young man at a school in Illinois in the face for saying, I support ICE.
And you know what I love about this story, right?
We've got it here from Daily Dot.
Pro-ICE troll gets punched at school.
The kid who did it is now a meme legend.
Indeed.
To the left, if you violently assault peaceful individuals with different opinions, you're a legend.
And the guy said, you're going to get in trouble for that.
He says, okay, and then punches him.
But you know what I really love about this story?
These two young men in Lake Zurich, Illinois.
Hey, that's out of Chicago.
These two young men exemplify the culture.
We're so perfectly the zealous, psychotic, and morbidly obese leftist punching the frail, low-T right-winger.
Sorry, Wright.
I'm not cutting you any slack.
With all due respect to this young man who was the victim of this, conservatives at the macro level have consistently just been like, well, slow down, Democrats.
And the Democrats have been like, I'm going to go shoot up a Tesla station.
And so we've gotten all this terror.
We've gotten these mass shooters.
We've gotten ICE shootings.
And even after leftists went to ICE facilities and CPP facilities and shot cops and shot at people, killing innocent bystanders, they're still like, for what reason would ICE be scared when we show up screaming in their faces with guns?
And so you get a story like this.
And this is the micro.
Some morbidly obese lefty punches a guy who's peacefully protesting.
And the guy who gets punched says, you can't do that.
So I wanted to ask you, because back earlier, you're talking about with Antifa, and obviously they're ramping up their threats and they're acting them out, which is the most terrifying part.
But following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, obviously getting Antifa labeled as an FTO was like massive.
That was a huge deal.
And honestly, a lot of people miss that.
That is a big deal.
Have you seen anything like on the congressional side?
Any sort of seeing that in action, I guess, so to speak?
I mean, it's because it's such a massive deal, but I feel like we don't hear about it very often.
Like literally, someone could grab your stereo and in Texas, you can shoot them.
That's the law.
West Virginia is very, very, very good on these laws in terms of protecting your land.
West Virginia, and correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding, because we went through this with security, you're allowed to defend yourself if someone trespasses on open land.
Meaning, if you've got like five-acre property, you're taking the garbage out and someone is coming onto your property, threatening you, you don't have to wait.
You don't have to flee.
You have to run.
And it makes sense in places like New Jersey, and New Jersey is, we shouldn't even mention it's so insane.
But Maryland is a good example because you even have Western Maryland just north of the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.
You have to flee into your home.
Then once you're in your home, if they try to breach the you know the entrance to your home, you're allowed to use lethal force.
Yeah, he's a lefty and he's celebrating the violence with 17.1 million views.
So here's my pitch.
And we need some, maybe this one's for the Discord community, guys.
This one's for you, the Discord community.
I want to make a coffee table book that is just every page will be for threats or celebrations of violence from leftists.
And then, yes, I am not even kidding.
Because like I see this, and these lefties are like, yay, violence against conservatives who are being peaceful.
And then when you go to these liberals and say the left is more violent, they go, no, we're not.
And it's like, here's the coffee table book.
Shut up.
There's no arguing anymore.
Now, when you're at Thanksgiving, you buy it for Christmas for your liberal aunt uncle and you say, look, it's a book of all the times the left threatened to murder people and then did, or punched people and celebrated it.
Like, what do we do to aggregate all these threats?
And we were like, it could be tough.
We could theoretically go to like a, like, an AI and say, start pulling tweets.
We could find historic ones.
But if we want to get all the good stuff from blue sky, like the funny thing is, even Will Stansel, who's another liberal guy, has this viral post where he's like, I need to get off blue sky because you people have gone insane.
When the leftists who are insane call the other leftists even more insane, we got a problem.
But genuinely, if you're a member of the Discord community, maybe we will put together a project where we start compiling as many of these posts celebrating, encouraging, or engaging in violence.
And then we make that coffee table book.
And then, you know, people can buy it for a decent price, put it under coffee table, and then they can show their liberal friends who don't believe them.
The point you bring up about Will Stansel is actually, I mean, it's crazy because this is an argument that Peterson was making 12, 13 years ago.
You know, I forget who it was that kind of stabbed him in the back, but he had a public Twitter exchange with him.
And he was like, look, they're going to do it to you.
They always do it to you.
They always eat their own.
And Will Stansel has been, you know, a very, very far left kind of dude for a long time.
And now, because I'm not even sure that he's did anything actually significantly bad, they just in Minneapolis decided that he wasn't pure enough and they started going after him.
And then once blood is in the water, then it's over.
I mean, you remember in the last administration, the greatest threats to America were like practicing Catholics and white nationalists that are roaming the streets.
The most dangerous people are out there are actually the white liberal women, white wine resistor moms that are out there just because the white wine makes you more bubbly, right?
We have this post from Graham Linehan, who is highlighting a post from this far lefty named Will Stancil, who has realized the left is insane.
So let me just give you the quick gist.
A leftist has realized that Blue Sky is full of crazier leftists than him, and he doesn't want to play this game anymore.
Graham says, so funny, a bunch of people who knew they'd soon be answering tough questions on child experimentation, trans violence, et cetera, all left X for another site, which they promptly turned into such a woke nightmare that even Will Stancil can't take it.
He said on Blue Sky, man, every day I wonder if I shouldn't just delete my account on here, maybe.
Opening Blue Sky makes me want to actually walk in front of a truck.
I don't think people on here understand how crazy they've gotten.
It's this endless feedback loop of self-radicalization built around some of the most toxic personalities I've ever encountered.
It would be nice to talk about politics without being in a blizzard of seething hatred and abuse all the time.
That's what I've been saying.
And then he says they're largely blocked, but it doesn't matter because we share a social space and many of them have tens of thousands of followers and their absolute derangement is making the social space intolerable.
I love that this leftist who does exactly what he's describing to the rest of us is now experiencing exactly what he does to him.
I wish we could, and someday it'll all kind of be out there, but the amount of threats that Republican congressmen get, death threats, death threats on a daily basis is staggering the number.
I mean, it is unbelievable.
And of course, you got to look at all of these because you don't know if somebody's saying something on the internet and then it becomes a reality, right?
And many times that's, they'll post something and then something happens, right?
And we've had not just me, many people, many, many members, Republicans, people showing up at their house, this, that, threatening their families, showing up to schools, all of this stuff.
I mean, there is no line.
There is no line for the Democrats.
They are going to find you wherever you are, and they're going to threaten you and perhaps even inflict violence on you because you do not agree with them.
Well, they were green lit at every step of the way.
Like, I mean, you saw like 2016 at the campuses when the Ben Shapiro, Milo would turn up and they would literally be flooded, firebombed, et cetera, total impunity.
I mean, even saw during COVID, like everyone always forgets this.
Tucker Carlson's house got like sieged by like a ton of leftist protests.
Also, the punch and that's the crazy because then they would post pictures of like the guys storming Normandy and they were like, this is what an anti-fascist looked like.
And then if you regurgitate the average political beliefs of a World War II infantryman, and they call you a Nazi.
Well, that was the Freedom Tunes, one of Seamus' biggest cartoons, where the woke bring World War II soldiers to the future to help them fight the Nazis.
And then the World War II soldiers are like, wait a minute, you're doing what?
unidentified
When they realize that the left is actually trying to do it, the bear of New York City's name is what?
And one of the reasons is a lot of the things that you kind of assumed were true as a libertarian, they seem to not be, right?
Like, I mean, I understand if you're a bear long enough, bad things are going to happen.
But like, if you, if, if you look at the, the, the tariffs, like, they, it has not panned out the way all the libertarians and the Cato Institute and all these people said.
And I'm, I, I'll be the first person to admit I was wrong.
I was, I was like, I've said, you know, on the show, I was like, I don't think tariffs are probably a good idea.
You know, I'm not an economist, but like, obviously, because I was wrong about it, you know, but then again, there were so many people that are libertarians that are like swearing up and down.
You know, the tariffs are going to do this, the tariffs are going to do that.
Well, if you say the tariffs are going to do, if you say bad thing is going to happen long enough, the bad thing will happen.
And then you can be like, oh, look, see, I was right.
But no, I mean, to your credit, I mean, that's now me, obviously, being a West Virginian, we are very pro-tariff.
Like, this is something that we have watched globalization destroy us over the last several decades from NAFTA and so on and so forth.
I mean, it has happened where steel mills just shutting down, our job shipped overseas.
So for me, I was, you know, two feet in.
First, one of the first bills I introduced was a reciprocal tariff bill.
That's something that I feel really strongly about.
But at the end of the day, yes, balanced trade is a good thing.
It is a good thing to have balanced trade.
And we have the ability to balance it and to reinvigorate manufacturing in the United States.
It actually evens the playing field for our manufacturers because that cheap, cheap product from China now has to compete at the same price point as our manufacturers.
And the consumer, which they have said, oh, this is going to get passed down to the consumer.
It's a tax on them.
They're willing to eat it to be able to participate in the greatest consumer market on the face of the planet.
But there was this video that I did a comment on for the Tim Pool show this morning, which is a guy claiming he's explaining why MAGA is a cult.
And NID basically says that they're not driven by facts or policy.
They're driven by revenge.
And it's clearly wrong because anybody who tracks the polling data knows that Trump only won through a coalition, which included libertarians and moderates who two to one lean right, or at least did a year ago.
And now things are kind of changing.
You can see this in the comedic podcast space.
They're kind of getting salty.
But I digress.
The point that I bring up, the reason why I bring this up is that there's reasons why I supported Donald Trump and I voted for him.
And tariffs are one of the biggest issues.
And all these libs come out as academic experts on the issue of tariffs now, having never cared about this in the past.
But I can tell you exactly why it mattered to me and skateboarding.
So here's the way a skateboard's made.
They get some lumber from either the Pacific Northwest or Canada.
It's a North American rock maple, either Canadian or American.
Send it to China, where a Chinese laborer will make these boards for pennies in the dollar, and then send it back to the U.S. That's actually a waste of energy.
But because a Chinese peasant is willing to work for a cheaper rate than an American, we don't make skateboards here anymore.
And over the last 15 years, the skateboard industry has collapsed because there's no more skate industry.
We don't make skateboards.
If you don't make skateboards, there's no skateboarding jobs.
So how are you going to sponsor a professional skateboarder if there's no company making skateboards that needs to advertise that they make skateboards because they're all made in China?
So right now in Southeast Asia, skateboarding is bigger than ever.
They're opening skate parks in theme parks.
That's how popular it is.
And there's too many people.
It's miserable, actually.
I wouldn't want to go.
I'd show up and there's kids sitting everywhere playing.
That's how popular it is in the United States.
It is gone.
So when Trump says we are going to tariff China and China says we're going to tariff back, I'm laughing.
You know why?
Because what happens then is we tear down a tree in the United States, send it to China who says tariff on that lumber to their factories.
So now that lumber is going up by 100%.
Then they make a skateboard, send it to the U.S., and the U.S. says tariff on that skateboard.
It turns a Chinese-made skateboard from $35 upwards of $100 a board.
The American-made boards that we sell at Boone's HQ are $35 boards.
And then we sell them for $55 because a portion goes to the rider, a portion goes to cover general administrative costs.
And then we have our profit margin, which is relatively low.
But if you start tariffing China, we stop having to compete with peasants in third world countries and we can bring our culture industries back.
And so, and of course, there's a national security component to this that I've been really hot on: is that if we don't have internalized supply chains and we're not able to make things here in the United States, that will be a problem down the road.
You look at World War II, where we turned, you know, Singer-Sewing Company and that started making gun parts and IBM and everybody else into the war effort, right?
There is a point, there's a deterrent factor to having an industrial base, not talking about defense industrial, an industrial base that can deter adversaries because their capacity to outbuild them.
And the whole tariff conversation was just like people were arguing past each other.
I was arguing with this libertarian guy, and I was talking, I was talking about, yeah, I know, and I was talking about the tariffs, and I was like, no, we need tariffs, we need to protect our industry against like getting undercut by like, I use Bengalis as Banglash as a specific example.
And he's like, okay, well, if you introduce tariffs to keep the manufacturing sector in America stimulated, you need to bring in more migrants.
Now, I do want to defend libertarians a little bit and give them a shout out because as much as I can disagree on where the policy goes, I respect that we always agree on the facts.
That I know that the libertarians can come on the show and we'll agree, like, here's base reality.
Now let's argue how it should go after this.
And we disagree, so I'll make fun of them, but it's okay because we're friends.
But let's do this.
Let's jump to this next story from WHRO, Supreme Court of Virginia Greenlights redistricting referendum.
To put it simply, they're eradicating four Republican seats, I believe four, right?
From the state of Virginia.
All in all, this is going to, oh, you know what?
Let me just stop and say this.
The conversation is over.
With the redistricting effort that we are seeing across the country, there are no longer going to be swing districts.
It's going to be Democrat districts and Republican districts, and winning as the opposition party, not going to happen.
Now, the scary thing is, this means the conversation has ended because there's no more political debate.
The Democrat in the district can say to the Republicans, Nana, you can't win no matter what you do.
I don't have to pander to you anymore.
This means in these districts where they might try and be moderate and say, no, no, we're not going to be in favor of insert far-left policy or insert far-right policy.
Now they're going to be like, far-left it is, because I'm in a primary and I got to beat this other Democrat, not a Republican.
So that means at the federal level, what are we going to see?
You combine this with geographic hyperpolarization.
That is, people are leaving.
Conservative-leaning individuals have left California and New York, which means those districts, so California, New York, are going to lose congressional seats.
Good thing.
However, it means the remaining districts with less moderate and conservative voices, the primaries are going to be socialist.
So typically the primary is around the range in the party from the moderate Democrat to the far left.
And you've got to kind of pander in between because there's going to be New York moderate Democrats who are going to be like, I don't know about that child sex change stuff.
Well, those moderates have left because of the insanity of New York.
And now this is shifting the overton window of the Democratic Party.
So now you're going to have, okay, sex changes for minors after 12, but, you know, not before, and then sex changes for minors at any age.
That's going to be the new argument.
So at the federal level, you are going to have extremely far left.
And I said, there's not going to be any far right.
It's going to be like moderate, slow down their Democrat types because conservatives are still, even in deep red places, not functioning all that well.
Well, and also like a big problem is on the right are activist base mixed podcasts where on the left, the activist base lives kills people.
They either kill people or they get involved in like their like their like state or even county uh Democrat Party.
Like, for example, in California, if you look at Berkeley and you go, like New York Times always puts out like the precinct by precinct voting map, there's precincts in Berkeley, California, probably other places, but I saw in Berkeley where the Green Party outperformed the Democrat Party.
So it's like the activist base in the Democrat Party is very involved in the way things go.
And if they don't get their way, they'll literally just go and vote for the Green Party in like these deepest red places.
Where in the Republican Party, people just get like demoralized and just step away from the table entirely.
So the one thing that, and this will shift it even more, right, left Voting Rights Act.
So when the Voting Rights Act gets, and I believe it'll be struck down, those blue seats that are there just by the nature of we have to carve out a minority district in southern states due to the voting rights act.
Once that gets struck down, all those seats, I mean, look, you got Democrat, Democrats hold seats in Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina.
I mean, all these types of places because you have to carve out these districts.
The South will just be solidly red.
There will not be one Democrat seat left.
Now, for us, that's good news.
But then we have states like Indiana who they're letting us all down.
I mean, it's just a total failure.
They're not stepping up to this.
And for some reason, I guess they think this is a game, but the Democrats, they are not playing.
They're not playing on this.
In California, there are 53 seats in California.
We will be lucky if we have four or five left after these elections.
So the projection is Democrats are going to win not by an election, but by just cutting out Republican districts.
It's not exaggerating.
The projection for the 2026 midterm election is that Democrats will be up by, I think it's like five seats by sheer brute force, not by the actual election results.
So again, I'll stress, after redistricting is over, you will see solid blue with some, with some strong blue, solid red with some strong red, meaning there's no swing districts and Democrats outnumber Republicans.
And so it's like, you know, you see California, New York, it's like, that's what they can do with a razor-thin majority with the entire country if they are to get back in power.
And then we have more room to build more arc to Trumps, too.
Like, there's a there's a yeah, there you go.
I've seen every time I go to a roundabout now and I see a green space, I just see an arc every single time with Trump's face just right in the middle looking at you.
Yeah, you know, because the proposals came out, and one is like really gaudy with like gold all over it.
I'm like, I want that one, I want that one actually.
I've been saying this for the past couple of weeks.
Trump is not Lincoln.
Trump is Buchanan.
And someone else tweeted this.
Who was it?
Was it Barris or Russ Musson?
I can't remember who tweeted it.
They tweeted, What would Abraham Lincoln do about voter fraud?
What would Buchanan have done about voter fraud?
And that's kind of the point I think a lot of people are seeing.
Right now, we are in a state of crisis in this country, undeniably.
This redistricting effort is the end of the congressional conversation.
It's supposed to be, I mean, it's not even supposed to be this two-party system, but that was bad enough.
Now we're getting uniparty.
And when you have a federal Congress where the left is unified and the right is a permanent minority, you are going to have effective no representation.
Well, this means people are eventually going to say, I'm not going to let you open the border to 30 million more people.
And so if you can't speak, then what do people do?
Bad things.
Now, the question is: while all this really bad stuff is happening, what do you think Abraham Lincoln would have done?
We don't need to question because we watched what he did before he got into office.
Abraham Lincoln got elected, and the initial inauguration was in March back in the day.
And in this interim period, seven states seceded from the union.
The moment Homeboy gets in, he's like, rally the troops.
We're shutting this down.
Buchanan tried appeasement, negotiations, compromise, and slow rolls, and it didn't work.
And it led to the crisis.
So I don't see Donald Trump as a Lincoln figure.
I see him as a Buchanan figure.
He is trying to play politics.
He is taking a soft touch.
He is pulling out of Minnesota.
And I don't necessarily disagree with that, but he is making the much lighter and weaker moves that are not actually dealing with the issues.
And I think what we've seen already is that you can just do things.
The Democrats certainly have for a long time, and they don't care what's true.
So again, I made reference to this video earlier in the day that I commented on where a guy says MAGA's occult.
And he said, it's because federal agents killed two people and they make excuses for it.
It's like, well, I can give you all the reasons in the world why people on the right and moderates have argued whether or not there was a justification for the shooting of Alex Predi or of Renee Good.
Not that the entirety of the right is celebrating it, but the issue is that Democrats arrested Trump's lawyers.
I want to make sure everyone understands this because I know you do, but the liberals don't know the facts.
They don't understand what's going on in the world.
Democrats had Trump's legal counsel arrested for simply being his legal counsel under the argument that providing legal counsel to Trump was a criminal conspiracy, despite the fact it is constitutionally protected.
Any criminal can hire a lawyer to give him advice on what he can or can't do.
And the left argued to me on the Culture War show, or a leftist did, a liberal, that, well, she was advising on crimes.
When you are running a business and you don't know if you're allowed to do certain things, like let's take a call she, for instance, is it insider trading, right?
If I call my lawyer and say, is it insider trading if I make a trade on something that I know the results to because I know someone in Congress, let's say they go, well, if you're not involved in the trade and the information from this member of Congress is in any way public, not necessarily widespread, you're good.
Then I go, okay, so make the trade, right?
Then the next administration says, you're under arrest.
They arrest my lawyer for giving me advice on what they deemed later was criminal because the lawyer, that's the level of psychotic behavior we are getting from the left.
So I stress this: Donald Trump is staring down the barrel of Democrats that don't care what's true and a voter base that doesn't know what's going on.
You try to placate that, you lose.
I'm not going to pretend to have good advice for Trump or for the right for the most part.
I can certainly give some advice.
I don't know, and I'm going to pretend to know what's going on behind the scenes.
But oh boy, let's just get ready for 2028, or I should say for 2020, at the end of 2026 to 2028, Democrats are going to have Congress and they're going to fire off subpoenas at full auto and they're going to start locking up Trump supporters through bogus lying to Congress and contempt of Congress charges like they already did before.
Peter Navarro went to prison, worked in the White House.
I mean, they will lock our folks up.
And, you know, look, I'm stay a little more optimistic, obviously, that in hopes that we can retain and keep the House.
I think maybe in the second quarter of this year, moving into the third quarter, we'll have some economic numbers and people can actually feel it that things are moving in the right direction.
Hopefully, it could help us, but it does not look good right now.
But particularly with the redistricting going on and all this, it doesn't look good.
But the reason why, despite being an East Coast state, it's not very densely populated is because of the mountains.
It's very difficult to, in the early days, to get materials through the mountains, through the hills.
And so only the toughest, I don't mean this to kind of blow smoke up West Virginia's ass, but it's true.
Only the most hardened individuals who could survive these conditions and carry supplies actually ended up settling in this area.
So even to this day, it's not very densely populated because of how difficult it was.
At the same time, it's also the safest place in terms of natural disasters and war, or I should say at least one of in the United States.
There's a variety of questions about what kind of war you'd face.
But in the event of like ground invasion, mountainous, difficult to navigate, highly defensible for the people who live there.
In terms of flooding and natural disasters, I'll throw it to our storm weather friend Ben Davidson, who shows the when if the great flood happens, West Virginia is the only place in the United States like not swept up.
So even when you get to the more like out there theories of like mass floods, West Virginia is okay.
I don't know if it's just like people tweeting just a tweet, but I see these like proposals of all these bordering counties in Virginia and potentially Maryland of like joining in West Virginia.
Well, I mean, look, we'll take the whole thing because we would love to get another congressional district back because it gets us another electoral vote, which helps everybody in the presidential election.
Now, I must stress, I actually am much more excited to talk about Zorhan Mamdani gutting the New York Rainy Day Fund and retirement funds because communism doesn't work, but we'll get there.
In the meantime, communist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to be president.
So she went to the Munich Security Conference, of which I'm baffled why she went.
I got to be honest.
AOC, as a member of Congress, and her, is she even on any committee related to security and national defense or anything?
And should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to, you know, I think that this is such a, you know, I think that this is a very long-standing policy of the United States.
And I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point.
This is the issue is that I don't think she knows.
I'm going to be completely honest.
Okay, I was making fun of her, but I'm going to say this in all seriousness.
I don't think AOC knows where Taiwan is.
I don't think she knows what the conflict is.
I think she has a general surface level of there is a policy to protect Taiwan, but she doesn't know enough about it to opine even to like beyond a surface level.
And you know what the problem is?
Okay, there's a couple of reasons why I'm going to say she's not qualified to be president.
There's actually a plethora, a litany, but I will just say this first and foremost.
You need to have an actual answer on this issue pertaining to U.S. intervention in foreign conflict in the Pacific theater.
All that's fine.
However, I would still, to a certain degree, give a passing grade to a response that was very deferential and non-committal.
Like if she had said, with this question, she went, wow, that is a very difficult question.
If her response was, that is an incredibly difficult question that I don't feel qualified right now to answer, given the debate is ongoing and I don't have access to national security information pertaining to what that would mean.
So it would be ignorant of me to make a claim on the world stage at the Munich Security Conference that I would commit to something without having access to national security information.
You can tell she was like trying to reach in the recesses of her mind to like this canned answer that they had given her, like standing pops like gears with like spider webs on it, like just turning.
Well, you know, I know a lot of people have been talking about Johnson Rod, but it's not something that I'm focused on in the immediate because jobs matter so much more.
And, you know, you get into these conversations about Johnson Rotten and the American people say, what the hell are you even talking about?
The New York Times wrote about it, but it was a defense of AOC where she called the New York Times and said, here's what I want you to publish about my statement.
There's no major outlet writing that AOC stuttered on the world stage and gave a non-answer.
Hey, guys, this is a point that I really need to reaffirm.
Like, I catch a lot of hell because I say that AOC is the most dangerous Democrat going right now.
She is extremely politically talented.
Just like you said, this will not matter in a general election.
The American people will not care.
She's incredibly charismatic.
She knows she's incredibly politically talented.
And all the people that are going to be like, oh, look, she's too dumb to be president, blah, blah, blah.
Even like, I agree that she doesn't have nearly the political chops when it comes to foreign policy or knowing about the economy or knowing about things that are actually important.
None of that stuff matters.
Everyone that gets elected gets elected on charisma.
You know, and like, so if she were to get into the Senate, because generally it's really, really hard for Congresspeople to win the presidency, but a senator has the gravitas or whatever after spending a little time in the Senate.
So YouTube just now, when I refreshed it, because we're checking because the page has been down, had a CAPTCHA block on google.com, which it looks like YouTube is under a cyber attack.
And the point of doing that is to block out bot traffic.
What I will say about AOC is Riley, remember when she fabricated that story about January 6th and she claimed that the cop came to her office and she thought she was going to die because of J6 was founder, despite the fact that what she was describing happened an hour before anyone breached the building, which makes you wonder how it is she knew the building was going to be breached.
Well, because the G like Republicans, conservatives broadly have this problem where like the candidates that we think the Democrats should pick are never actually in line with what the base actually wants in the Democrat Party.
Where like Republicans are always like fixated like on this boogeyman that Michelle Obama is going to like change your mind and like run for president or like Gavin Newsom's this obvious shoe-in for the Democrats.
Like the Democrat base wants to go as radical as possible right now.
AOC fits that bill perfectly.
Like on what planet would they not pull that lever?
Would rather do is ensure that they remain as they are so that the city can be on firm financial footing.
However, in order to get to this point of closing the gap on both this fiscal year and the next fiscal year, we are forced to raid the Rainy Day Fund, the Retiree Health Benefits Trust Reserve, and to increase property taxes across these other years.
So we have this, and this Geger Capital guy said, sell morons on taxing the billionaires.
Immediately raise property tax on every middle-class family in New York.
To which this guy responds: 67% of New York City, New York City residents don't own any property in the city.
The notion that this is a tax hike primarily on normal working New Yorkers is an absolute joke.
And I want to give a shout out to our good friend Hassan Piker for making me apprised of this because he retweeted it.
Because leftists don't understand economics in the slightest.
So let me try and explain it to you.
89% of residential rentals in New York City are run by businesses, not individual millionaires and billionaires.
They're actually companies that maintain and staff these buildings because having a place to live requires fixing plumbing, fixing the heaters, making sure the front door works, cleaning the hallways.
This is why they're superintendents.
Now, when you raise property taxes on everybody, including some of these businesses, only have like 10 units.
They're small businesses that maintain it so that you don't have to pay property taxes, other fees, or often your water bill.
Now that they're going to raise the property taxes, one of two things is going to happen.
They're simply going to pass that expense off to you and your rents will increase.
Knowing Commie New York, however, they're probably going to try and rent control, which means the business owners have already done this.
We're going to see rent versus cost price inversion.
This means that it becomes more expensive to rent the property out than to just do nothing with it and sit on it as an empty asset.
So if you own the property, they increase the property taxes.
The business that runs it says it's no longer a viable business.
They will sell off the property or abandon it.
And then what happens?
You are going to get empty buildings, bankrupt businesses, loss of jobs, and the best part, slumlords.
These people don't understand a lick of economics.
I saw a great video where this old guy is arguing with a lefty in the street.
And he's like, you think that I should pay 70% of my income after $2 million?
And the guy goes, yes, and 75% for every dollar after that.
And he goes, okay, once I reach $2 million in income, I'm going to furlough all of my employees and I'm going to go play golf and go on my yacht for the remainder of the year.
And now nobody works because they don't understand how economics works.
So congratulations to all the commies in New York for watching your retiree health savings get looted and your property taxes spike.
Yeah, also like it's, it's, it's tough for people that don't live or haven't been to New York City or understand like how the outer boroughs work.
But like the majority of properties in New York City are still single-family homes.
Like Queens, Brooklyn, and then pretty much the entirety of Staten Island are single-family homes.
So the only people that are really going to feel the pinch here is not these, again, these large corporations that own a lot of rental properties or even these like, again, these wealthy, these sort of wealthy property owners that presumably he thinks he's like really putting some weight on here.
It's just like normal middle class people that still own homes like in Queens, Staten Island.
They're the ones that are going to feel the pinch because like what, a 10% increase?
If you, again, have millions of dollars in the bank, that doesn't really impact you as much.
But if you're like literally just trying to survive on your mortgage payments in Queens, you're cooked.
It's over for you.
So they're going to have to sell their homes.
Again, no one's going to want to buy these single-family homes.
Again, like families, this is going to go to businesses.
Businesses are going to buy up the majority of these single and then they're going to turn them into rental properties.
So all this is ensuring is that you're eliminating home ownership in New York City because there's still a ton of single-family homes in New York City.
Because what happens is, so what happens right now is property taxes go up.
The small business rentals, 89% of the rentals are owned by businesses, some large, some small.
They say, okay, it is now too expensive to run this and they legally won't let me increase rent.
So I give up.
The city then goes, well, how about this?
We will buy the property off you at a good rate.
And we had when we had, when de Blasio was in during COVID, he said their strategy was to buy up these buildings for pennies and the dollars to make community housing.
This is the game they're playing.
We've already seen this happen where landowners, building owners, businesses have begun to leave properties vacant because the price limits, the rent limits that are in place by law make it so that it's more expensive to rent it than to not rent it.
So what they're doing is they're leaving these, there's one video where the guy basically says, it's going to cost us $20,000 to fix this apartment up after the previous tenant damaged it.
We have to pay that cost.
However, we can only charge X amount of rent.
We would not make our money back ever because the wear and tear of the existing tenant is going to require costs.
So we just leave it empty.
And now there's people sitting like, why can't I afford rent anywhere?
Because communists are very stupid.
They are deeply insane and stupid people.
And when you vote for things like communism, you are voting for stupidity.
And the end of the day, it comes down to one simple word that I think we all have understood that this agenda is about, and that's control.
So once you're living in one of these government-run and provided homes, all the little psycho-idiosyncrasies that the left is about, how many times you can flush your toilet, how much water you can run, can you have a gas stove?
All those little things to control every aspect of your life and how you live your life will be determined by the government because you are dependent on them for your very existence in the shelter that you live in, the home that you live in, the roof over your head.
And then the people in office were corrupt and started gutting the machine for their own benefit.
And now we're in a death spiral.
Can the tailspin be recovered from and pulled out of?
I'm not entirely sure.
But historically, we do tend to see a few things from situations like this.
You could possibly get a Caesar-esque Roman Empire.
The Republic falls and then a strongman says, I'm not going to let that happen and takes over.
An Abraham Lincoln-esque suspension of habeas corpus and constitutional rights to keep the union stabilized.
You also could get a Bolshevik revolution.
Far leftists go to the centers of power, take out the command structure, then they assume control, and everybody's just too scared to do anything about it.
You could also get a Franco-esque type scenario where a military leader says, I'm not letting these commies win and then just decides to start fighting.
Right.
It's going to be one of something like this.
We don't know exactly what it looks like.
History has our repeated rhymes.
So I wish you all the best of luck and I hope you are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best.
But even New York City, like the people that live in New York City, the standards drop because they're replacing New Yorkers.
Like you can go and look at the demographic makeup of New York City.
The foreign-born proportion of the population is increasing year over year.
It's not stopping.
And so part of the problem is a lot of these people, they don't actually have like the expectation because we're saying, how can Americans tolerate this?
How can Americans stand for this?
It's like, well, there's not very many Americans left in New York City.
Certainly not very many Americans that have like a long lineage in the country.
And so that's part of how you can consolidate power in places like New York City and places like Los Angeles is you just shake out Americans.
If we're able to defeat our opponents in the House and then coerce our enemies, which is the Senate, then yes, we could do these things.
But yeah, you could certainly pass a law to do it.
But, you know, the Senate is kind of the go-along, get-along club over there, and they're living in six-year terms and, you know, whatever, no problem.
You know, just kind of managing the decline of the country.
You know, I will admit, I think based on what we've seen largely in the political landscape, I am, I don't know what the right word is for it, but I think liberalism has reached its conclusion for this country.
And that is the fault of those who purported to be classical liberals but did not defend what they believed in.
So I would describe it like this.
I view myself as a classical liberal.
For those that are not familiar with what that term means, it doesn't refer to American politics at all.
It's a reference to political ideology of, you know, largely what this country was founded on.
But understand this country was also founded on blasphemy laws, strong social codes, and people being hung in the streets when they committed crimes against other people.
I was not saying I'm for those things now.
But the thing is, we believed in semi-decentralized government.
We believed in guaranteed rights and protections to be written down.
And to a certain degree, freedom of people to practice their religion as they saw fit.
Over a long enough period of time, this worldview, which I largely agree with, not like the minutiae of how they were doing bad things, everyone understands.
We do better over time, right?
Slavery was bad.
However, they allowed in other ideologies and cultures which opposed this.
At this point, we are looking at the corruption.
And I don't mean the political sense.
I mean general decay of our institutions.
That is, the 17th Amendment, for those that are not familiar, states that effectively we're having a popular vote for a senator.
It used to be that your state legislature, your state representatives, would decide who they would appoint to represent the state.
That is the better way to do it because that requires individuals then pay attention to who their local senators and reps actually are and what's going on in their state.
With the creation or the ratification of the 17th Amendment, now nobody even knows who's running their own local jurisdictions or districts or towns or whatever.
And you get these members of Congress that are like, vote for me and I'll clean up our town.
Why would a federal member of Congress be cleaning up your local town in your district?
Your representative is going to go to Congress and represent your interest to the federal government on issues of national taxation, borders, and foreign policy.
But these people now don't understand that we are a republic.
So I say this.
We need a hard reset, unfortunately.
And I don't know how it comes about, but I know that whether we do it or not, it's going to happen.
Because if it doesn't happen by the brute force of the right, the left will smash everything and burn it down.
And then if either the right gives up and you get a Bolshevik-style revolution, or the right fights back and gets their reset.
So if you repealed the 17th Amendment right now, you go and look at the number of legislatures controlled by Republicans or split legislatures.
So say it goes 1-1, we'd have close to 60 senators.
The Republicans would right now.
We would have close to 60 senators right now, if not 60.
And guess what it would do?
It would reinstitute this beautiful word you just mentioned, republic.
We're a republic.
And so it would put focus back on the state legislatures, which are largely ignored, except when we're going through this redistricting process right now in states like Virginia.
So people should be paying attention to what your elected officials doing in your state legislature.
They have a lot more impact on your day-to-day than a U.S. senator does.
Because they, like, not to get super granular here, but they don't even endorse the monarchy.
Like, Justin Trudeau is an avid supporter of the monarchy, but it's not because he's like, we have this like, you know, classical Anglo tradition in Canada.
Like, that would be based if that's why he liked the monarchy, but he likes the monarchy purely because America doesn't have one.
And Canada's entire self-conceptualization as a nation is rooted in like insecurity that they're basically just an America JV team.
We need to purge the Supreme Court, except for Thomas and Alito, and then bring out a bunch of actual based pro-Americans so that they actually rule on things that matter.
The Supreme Court is again, like Alito and Thomas are based.
In fact, you know, I've long argued just Thomas's extended family.
They all get appointed to the Supreme Court, everybody else out.
And we'll pack the court.
We'll get four more seats.
Just Thomas, your kids, your cousins, whatever, they're all good.
He's the best.
But we have, it's funny how he says so little.
He's just very stoked and he sits there and then he gives the right answers.
The problem is that I'm reading this thing about the Second Amendment.
Virginia is trying to ban guns, basically.
And the Supreme Court is just too scared.
They're too political.
And I don't mean political in the sense that they have political opinions.
I mean they're concerned that the responses they give will create a political or cultural response instead of just doing what needs to be done.
We need a Supreme Court who's going to be like, don't know, don't care.
Yeah, I would like Clarence Thomas if he was like appointed like SCOTUS Caesar and then he could like choose who the successors would be personally completely subvert the entire system.
Famously, in like the previous rulings, she made arguments that I forgot exactly what it was.
It was, I should pull this one up.
Where she made an argument.
What was this one?
Do you guys remember what happened?
It was a big story where she made some like inverted recursive arguments about why they have to do something because they can't do it or something like that.
And then, and then this Clarence Thomas, like, I think the first thing he ever spoke into the record was he was making fun of the lawyer because he went to Yale.
Amy Coney Barrett said, quote, we will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries' worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.
We observe only this.
Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.
Her opinion is specifically whatever the left believes right now.
You can guarantee what her opinion is going to be, what she's going to say, where she's going to come down in every single vote.
You know, one of the frustrations that people on the right have with people like Amy Corny Barrett and Kavanaugh and stuff is sometimes you're not really sure.
Like there's actually a possibility that they will see things differently and they'll come down and vote in a way that the conservatives don't like.
Yeah, it happens all the time.
But that's because they're actually judges.
They're actually like they may come down on, they may come down on things in the way that the right doesn't like, but they come down in a way where they've actually thought about it and they make at least a decent argument.
Hold on a second.
The point that I'm making is, you know, like Sodomayor and definitely Katanji Brown Jackson, you know.
There's no question.
There's no thought process.
There's no thought process.
They're not listening to any of the any of the arguments in front of them being made and thinking about this.
They're just like, okay, this is what the question before the court.
I know before any arguments are made.
I know exactly what I'm going to say long before the arguments start.
You know, I want to give this one to my anime friends out there, all the weebs.
So I'm sure you guys are familiar with Naruto because of the Naruto running people were doing where they had their arms out, like they were developmentally disabled.
So after Naruto, the full series ended, they created a new spin-off, which is still effectively the same show, but it follows his kid, Boruto.
And so I'm a big Naruto fan.
I read every manga when it was coming out up until its completion.
And I've never really cared for Boruto.
And I always just thought, like, Naruto sounds like a Japanese thing.
Like, you go to a Japanese restaurant, they have like Naruto roll in boxes or something.
We're going to go to your Rumble rants and super chats.
Before we do, make sure you go to castbrew.com and pick up some delicious cast brew coffee.
Now, everybody's favorite is Appalachian Knights.
Somehow, I just accidentally stumbled upon a Grand Slam coffee.
Basically, what happened was we got a bunch of samples of different blends.
I like an earthy, dark, robust, chocolatey kind of coffee.
And so I took these flavor profiles, mixed them together, and I said, this is what I like.
And then we formulated it.
And it wasn't intended to actually be any kind of big product for us.
We actually thought that Roberto Jr. was going to be our flagship because it's got a rooster on the back and Roberto Jr. was our mascot.
Every day, people kept saying they liked Appalachian Knights way better.
And they bought more and more until you can see here the reason why it goes Appalachian Knights, Graphene Dream, Rise of Burto Jr., that's a sell order.
Basically, whichever one sells the most is on the furthest left.
So Ian's Graphene Dream actually is our number two bestseller.
You guys are putting Ian through college and you know he needs it.
It's a low acidity coffee.
Ian was like, my stomach hurts when I drink coffee.
And we were like, let's make a low acidity.
He was like, I want a low acidity one.
And we're like, okay, let's figure it out.
So we blended a low acidity coffee.
It tastes really, really good.
And it sells crazy for function.
The funny thing is, everybody else, this is so Ian.
Everybody else is like, let's do a flavor of some sort.
And like, let's try, you know, for Seamus, we were like, should we do a whiskey, you know, or something like that?
And then Ian was like, make mine functional, and it sells like crazy.
So I don't actually know how else to make a functional coffee, but, you know, high acid, burn your stomach to shred.
But you know, I'm really excited for AI because now it means I can watch, you know, my goal is to have a movie with Jason Statham and Tom Cruise, and they just go around beating people up.
Because you make a movie with Jason Satham, which just goes around beating people up.
And my plot, my treatment is that, you know, Dom is working on his new car and he's, and then, you know, Ludacris is like, yo, I got this experimental engine that uses a plasma drive.
And then they're all working on it.
But then it blows up and they all get blasted by experimental quantum singularity to whatever.
You'll be able to actually type in, make me a short film where Walter White gets trapped in the Matrix, and it will make it.
It will render the full thing for you relatively quickly.
Yep.
And so, you know, I talked about this, and then I thought it was actually a great bit of, so I've talked about how Disney Plus is going to have like the Disney corner where you can tell it, you'll press the microphone button and say, I want to watch Spider-Man fight the Hulk, and it will render a movie for you.
And then Zachary Levi, the actor, came on and said basically the same thing.
And that's been his concern the whole time.
It's one of the reasons he, you know, when he came out and endorsed RFK Jr. and then got behind Trump for RK Jr.'s sake, his attitude was, I believe he said this several times publicly, Hollywood's over.
AI is about to destroy everything and people have no idea how crazy it's already getting.
So he was like, I'm resigned myself.
You know, the idea that he's going to refrain from talking about what he cares about because he's scared of losing his job.
I mean, imagine it's, there's going to be an online universe where you make your own custom games and be like, I'm going to play the game Philmade.
And let me show you how crazy this is.
can do um let's do um uh in the sky over japan uh let's do uh who's someone we could try that's like not famous enough to get restricted but famous enough that we're like wow look who it is Colin Kaepernick.
We're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show over at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL.
So check that out.
Don't miss it.
You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.
I want to read one more super chat I just saw.
Walter Walter Subcheck says, What would Tim have done if he was in the Lake Zurich kid situation?
I mean, after Tim had deadlifted 600 pounds because Tim has such massive T, he is an 18-year-old kid just trying to document what the left was doing.
So I embarrassingly almost got into a fight in Boston.
So an antifoot guy started swinging at my face, and I stood my ground.
Tuck Carlson had me on the show following that incident because when the antifoot guy threatened to hit me, I held, I stood exactly, I just stood my ground and said, okay.
And, you know, F around to find out.
He didn't hit me.
He tried to make me flinch.
Then some right-wing dude pulled my hat off, for which there's a video of this, and I've got seven or eight cops surrounding me.
And I turn around and I screamed.
I really wanted to knock his teeth out, but I'm surrounded by cops.
And so I just screamed at him.
You're lucky I don't effing knock your teeth out right now.
And then the cops like broke it up.
So, yeah, I would just say this.
Like, if I was in a situation in high school and some dude came up to me and threatened to punch me, I would be in a fight.
I don't think that's an absurd thing to say or a strong claim to make.
Bro, I'm going to say this.
If your attitude as a man is that you would be surprised, like you, you don't believe another guy would get into a fight with someone who hit him, I think you probably have low T.
And low T is probably a stupid way to describe it, but it is a normal thing for a guy who gets hit to fight.
That's like, if any guy came up to me and said, if someone took a swing, I get into a fight with him, I'd be like, yep.
So when you're like, yeah, Tim, would you?
I'm like, yeah, most guys probably would.
Like a guy swinging at you, you're going to try to avoid the fight for sure, but you might just stop him from punching you.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, Riley, do you want to shout anything out before we go?
There was one of the AI companies, they had an AI that actually helped with new physics.
There's a particle that transmits the strong nuclear force.
And I don't remember the specifics of it, but it found that the particle did something that basically all physicists had decided that it didn't do.
Yeah.
So actually, hold on a second.
Let's see.
GPT 5.2 announced that it discovered a new formula for gluon interactions.
Gluons are the particles that hold quarks together inside protons and neutrons.
Solves a decade-old problem that physicists thought was impossible.
Discovered that certain single-minus gluon interactions can happen under specific conditions.
Physicists assumed they couldn't exist at tree level.
So human physicists calculated small examples by hand, got super messy, complex formulas.
GPT 5.2 Pro simplified those expressions and spotted a pattern.
AI conjectured a general formula that works for any number of particles, then spent 12 hours reasoning through a formula, formal mathematical proof.
Humans verified it was correct using standard physics consistency checks.
So they actually, like, there was an argument as to, well, there was an argument as to whether or not AI would be able to find discover things because it was LLMs or only the sum of what human knowledge is.
Well, more than likely, what will happen is human beings will, the way they train AI is they usually have like a human being do it, but it's going to have, it's going to have the robot will like, they'll have the, they'll just like upload video of doing that was a suggestion from the from the discord.
But yeah, I mean, look, man, you know, if in 10 years, I think that it's likely that I would be like, nope, let the robot do it.
Because, I mean, if it's doing, if robots are doing this procedure that I have to have done for five years and it does it on 600,000 people because it's, you know, fairly, say something fairly common or whatever.
I mean, I'm not going to want to go with the human being.
I had, I got, I got LASIK in 2012 and it was, you know, it was a robot that did it, you know, because I don't want, I wouldn't want a doctor cutting on my eye.
