Trump HAS DONE IT, ICE Arrests Begin, Major Plane Crash SHUTS Airport | Timcast IRL w/ Mehek Cooke
Tim Pool and guests dissect ICE arrests at 14 airports due to a DHS shutdown, a LaGuardia crash halting operations, and Iran's missile strikes on Israel despite Trump's alleged negotiations. They debate the "feminization" of media, AI replacing labor, and data center expansions in Ashburn selling land for $4 million per acre. The episode condemns OnlyFans founder Leonid Rudvinsky as a sex trafficker, analyzes H-1B visa impacts on American jobs, and concludes with fears of economic bifurcation and potential Iranian regime collapse amidst geopolitical instability. [Automatically generated summary]
There's some airports with a three-hour wait time because the TSA agents have not yet been paid.
There are videos showing a line going all the way into the parking garage and wrapping around, going up several levels.
It is absolutely insane.
For this, Donald Trump has dispatched ICE agents into these airports.
And there are videos of illegal immigrants being arrested in airports.
Now, ICE says that was actually before the formal deployment, but they were still in the airport.
And Trump is saying he will not consider any funding or anything until the SAVE Act is passed.
Massive and crazy news at these airports.
We also have this major airplane crash at LaGuardia, shutting it down, which brings up questions of the crisis of merit in this country.
And this ties into the mass migration story with ICE at these airports, H-1B, and all that.
And then the really crazy story, Donald Trump said this morning that he had great talks with the country of Iran.
So he was postponing strikes on their energy infrastructure.
Iran then denied it, saying we never talked to him about anything.
And then Iran launched a bunch of missiles targeting Israel.
And seems like there's no peace talks.
Many people are saying Trump is lying.
They believe Iran over Trump.
I'm wondering if Iran is just doing this to make Trump look bad or if Trump is trying to protect the markets by, let's just call it, I'm being very nice here, massaging the truth.
Who is he really talking to?
Some are suggesting it's because Trump is trying to negotiate with a rival faction who would take over, and the IRGC is not the people he's been in communication with.
So, you don't know for sure, but we'll get into all that.
And then, of course, one of my favorite stories: Bill Maher says he's with Trump.
Indeed, the man of ultimate Trump derangement syndrome said: if it comes down to Tucker or Megan Kelly, he's with Donald Trump on this as it pertains to the war with Iran, which is creating a very interesting political bifurcation, to say the least.
There are many, many other stories.
Owner of OnlyFans is dead, and conservatives are celebrating.
So, we'll get to all that.
Before we do, we've got a great sponsor for you, my friends.

My friends, ICE officers deploy to some airports as TSA callouts worsen.
They say immigration and customs enforcement agents have been deployed to 14 airports today to help during the Department of Homeland Security shutdown.
The Transportation Security Administration has faced growing callouts from officers who have gone without pay since DHS funding lapsed in February.
Well, my friends, we've got this video that's going viral of an illegal immigrant being arrested at an airport, an alleged illegal immigrant.
I don't know who this woman is, but check this video out.
I'm just imagining, like, all of these instances where ICE is arresting people.
Like, I don't know what this lady's done or whatever, but you've got criminals and like pedophiles, and they're screaming, like, are you proud of what you're doing?
And they're like, Yes, this person raped children.
Like, what?
So here's what this tweet says says, additional raw footage from a new angle.
This woman is a U.S. citizen traveling with her younger daughter, according to witnesses who filmed the video.
And they would know, right?
Then, of course, DHS says this arrest of illegal aliens occurred yesterday on March 22nd, before ICE officers were deployed to airports to bolster TSA efforts.
ICE officers arrested Angelina Lopez-Yimenez and Wendy Godenez-Lopez at the San Francisco International Airport.
These illegal aliens had a final removal order, a final removal order of removal.
Since 2019, they say while being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez Yimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers.
ICE is working as quickly as possible to repatriate the family unit to their home country of Guatemala.
How nice.
I mean, that's just such so nice.
The American legal, you come into our country illegally, you break our laws, and we say, hey, we're going to give you a ride home and reunite you with your family.
And I think we spent four years allowing this theory that when people come in, CNN Abby Phillips said it.
She literally said, when people come in, it's not a criminal act.
Yes, it is.
It is criminal to come in.
You're an illegal.
You should be deported immediately.
But I think Biden and Democrats allowed people to come in, live off of our food, our system, our welfare, everything, steal from us, rob from us, kill us.
And now when we're trying to deport them, people are a fringe, a small minority are up in arms.
What most Americans want, and this is why Trump is in office, we want deportations.
So I just think it's a small minority online and in mainstream media that's lying because more often when I see somebody getting arrested, I'm like, my God, what did they do?
So I've been saying for a while we need to hire a film producer here so we can do these bits.
I'd love to make a scene where like the illegal immigrant is asking for her arm to be fixed, but then just like pulls out a gun and starts shooting people randomly.
And then what you do is you have like an illegal immigrant come in with a broken arm.
And then when they're like tending to him, he just gets up, bolts full speed towards a little kid, picks the kid up, and just runs out the door and gone.
There was that viral Reddit post where this, it was like on two X chromosomes, which is, it's funny, like, the new Reddit CEO, Ellen Powell, at the time, forced it onto the default page.
So it's like feminism page.
But there was a post where it was a woman being like, I feel guilty that I get all hot and bothered for big MAGA men.
And she talked about how like she fantasizes about like a six foot three guy chiseled with a MAGA hat on just like taking her and just like having his way with her.
And she's like, she loves it, but she feels guilty about it.
So we have this weak dial-up internet from the old would be getting back some of the old, the old news cycles where it's like one story for like a whole week.
It was titled Chuck Norris, action movie star, but his politics may muddy his legacy or whatever.
And it went viral because people were like, look how they treat Rob Reiner, look how they treat Chuck Norris because he was a conservative.
The article was mostly just a fluff piece.
At the very end, it briefly mentions his movies were largely pro-American propaganda.
And that's all it really says.
But the reason they titled it this way is because we're in an age of 50,000 news websites all competing for you to click on them and you have no reason to click on them.
When Chuck Norris died, rest in peace, legend, everyone instantly knew.
I remember there was like a big shift where Daily Mail went.
It used to be that it was all like heavy news and cultural issues, and now it's a whole lot of women's content.
I think guys are, their brains are fried.
And, you know, I think women's content just generates more money because women are, they're satisfied by different kinds of news.
And I think women largely like to not be informed.
And I'm not saying they don't read the news.
I'm saying women like news stories that leave on a cliffhanger that don't tell you what's going to happen.
And guys just are like, tell me what happened and shut up.
So you'll notice that as journalism has become increasingly more female, you're getting a lot of news articles that instead of saying something like, today Donald Trump met at the Oval Office with, you know, UFC, blah, it'll start with, it was a crisp Sunday morning.
The audio went massively viral as the air traffic controller is saying like, truck, move, turn, turn, turn, and then bang.
And so immediately this plays into a question, which it may not need to, but people have been for some time warning about air traffic controllers, one, because there's a shortage, but also because of H-1B and DEI initiatives.
And so this jumps way back to even Charlie Kirk making that point about, he said, if he got into a plane and saw a black pilot, he's questioning if that pilot is qualified.
The left attacked him saying he was racist for doing so.
But the point he was making is the left is putting people based on ideology in positions of authority without the skill required to do it.
So how does something like this happen, shutting down the whole airport?
So we were tracking this today at the Postmillennial, and it looks like what happened is the air traffic controller gave access to a runway to both a truck and a plane at the same time, only realizing too late that that's what he was doing.
Well, my father-in-law drives or flies planes, and literally he's talking to air traffic control every 10 seconds, and he's still looking right and left, even after clearance.
There was this post I saw, and I'm not joking, but let me elaborate.
That was talking about how societies begin to collapse when you look at them historically.
There's like this is academic research.
You can look into it.
Maybe it's right, but it's an assessment by academics that when sex becomes cheap and available or disrupted, then what happens is you either get listless young men who go insane or you get guys who don't strive towards merit.
And so you take a look at societies where they had strict cultural enforcement on relationships, whatever that might have been, a degree of difficulty.
That resulted in stability.
And then when you get societies after a couple of generations that go debaucherous and just free and open sex, guys don't care anymore.
I want to pull up this video clip from Bill Maher's show.
This is Bill Maher addressing Joe Kent, Tucker Carlson, this break on the right.
And in the most shocking of statements, probably the most shocking thing I've ever heard in my life, Bill Maher says I'm with Trump.
And I almost had a seizure when I heard him say that.
I was trying to wake myself up.
How is it possible that Bill Maher would do such a thing?
But what I'm going to do for you guys is actually connect the dots from what Bill Maher is saying about Tucker into what Tucker is saying about the world into how population decline means the end of this country.
Trust me, it is all connected.
But let's start here with the prominent political commentator explaining how he feels about Tucker, Joe Kent, and Trump.
And he said, I can't go along with this because, you know what?
He's been listening to too much Tucker Carlson.
It's, you know, the Jews made us do it.
It's just another version of anti-Semitism that comes out.
First it was BDS, then it was their colonizers and genocide, which it wasn't, and all these other reasons.
Like, you can't have a state in the world that's based on religion, even though there's like 46 Muslim countries that are based on religion.
Some have the name right in the title of the country.
But whatever it is, you have all these.
And now the big answer is, no, Israel made us do it.
We're Israel's bitch.
I don't think we're Israel's bitch.
I think we're Israel's ally.
But, you know, if I have to be on one side of this MAGA thing, either Trump or Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes, I'll be with Trump on this one.
But while I certainly disagree with a portion of what Bill Maher is saying, when he was like, Joe Kent's criticism is the Jews, did it, it's a little heavy-handed in the other direction.
You're allowed to criticize Israel as a country.
You're allowed to criticize their pressure on the United States, AIPAC, and their campaigning.
That's politics.
That's allowed.
And Bill Maher, I believe, is misconstruing what Joe Kent said because he didn't blame the Jews.
That being said, Tucker Carlson said something interesting that is also going viral.
And there's an additional interview with Tucker and a Chinese professor, or they say he's a Chinese professor, where, well, he's literally Chinese.
I don't know if he's Chinese nationally, but he's ethnically, saying that it's time for the U.S. to come together with other partner countries to negotiate the distribution of power.
And so, in combining these two things, you have these two worldviews.
Bill Maher represents the boomers.
They're very pro-Israel.
They're very pro-America, very pro-American hegemonic power, military industrial complex, inadvertently.
And Donald Trump is in there along with Bill.
So when you get Tucker, Candice, or Fuentes, or anybody else on the other side of that saying we can't do this, we can't be the world police.
We have to share power.
Bill Maher is going to align with Donald Trump.
Now, what I will say is, I believe, though I disagree with Tucker on many things, what he's describing, whether you want it to or not, is inevitable.
The theory is, and I agree with this, we've discussed this theory on this show years ago.
Thucydides' trap is a reference to when a dominant power is on the decline and a rival power is ascendant, right before that switch happens, the dominant power will go to war with the weaker power as it is their last opportunity to stop their growth.
12 out of 16 historical times in the past, we have seen this trend happen.
The theory is the powers that be in the United States recognizing that Thucydides' trap is an inevitability as the United States cannot maintain itself.
After a few generations, you get merit decline, you get social degradation, you have to have a jumping of the ship to a new culture.
The theory is that in the 90s, take a look at what H.W. Bush said with the new world order.
The theory is they go to China, cut these trade deals, start sending all of our manufacturing over there so that the decline and the ascension are so fast, war is impossible.
The powerful elites transfer as much of their wealth to China as possible.
The U.S. falters, no longer a global dominant power.
China is ascendant, becomes the unipolar power.
The Belt and Road Initiative, all of their projects become dominant and the U.S. becomes second rate.
The U.S. standard of living drops dramatically.
I believe, unfortunately, there is a very, very high probability that is true no matter what you do, because Americans did not have children.
And we just talked about this plane crash in LaGuardia.
There is a massive decline in capability and skill.
I have spoken with many business leaders and business owners, and I have witnessed it.
Managers are saying there is a massive shortage of talent and managerial talent.
So we've seen businesses go under near us because they have a lack of functional employees.
They can't find people who can do these jobs.
Flooding the country with Honduran migrants will not solve for this problem.
And that seems to be what Democrats were trying to do, whether to save the economy or to just massively destroy us, to destroy us much more quickly.
The end result is the migrant, the migrant from Honduras or Guatemala or from Eritrea or wherever country they're coming from will not be an air traffic controller.
There is nothing you can do to make that happen.
And this guy, whether it's his fault or not, told the truck to go on and then the truck crashes in an airplane.
What happens in 10 years when we do not have entry-level talent or managerial talent?
I don't see how it's possible that we push forward.
And I want to stress too, because people have said AI will replace these jobs.
And I have pushed back on this, saying AI will not buy tacos from your taco stand.
You can replace your employees with robots to make the tacos, but you need human beings to buy the tacos to exist.
Already, companies have been quietly rehiring engineers because the AI could not actually do the job.
And behind the scenes, there are some tech companies that have said, if we find any element of vibe coding in your work, you are fired immediately because the vibe coding from these AIs is miserably bad and they can't figure out how to fix it because no one's created a code map of what they actually did.
So, at least for now, I do believe AI will get to the point where it will be much more functional.
For the time being, we are cooked.
Look, at the turn of the century into the 1900s, there were fears that New York would be overrun by horse manure.
They were writing there's too many people, population growth is too much, and with all the horses everywhere, there's going to be piles upon piles of manure everywhere.
And then, 20 years later, there was not a single drop of horse poop.
I mean, China's birth rate is significantly worse than the U.S. They're facing the same labor shortages.
And also, I mean, like, the Americans, I think, in the last six months specifically, I've been surprised by how capable our military is.
I think, obviously, everyone knew our military was strong, but the Venezuela operation really blew people's minds.
And Iran, I mean, it's difficult to tell right now, but it seems like we're accomplishing a lot of our military goals there.
You know, aside whether or not you support the war, just from a military perspective, it's like we are still clearly punching at least at our weight, if not above our weight.
I was once talking to Jack the Soviet's wife, Tanya, and she was saying that like generations of her family were all born in the same town, but all in different countries.
No, but yeah, I mean, like, well, just get on to this point.
I mean, the selective pronunciation of foreign words is like one of my biggest pet peeves because it's like, we don't say Deutschland, we say Germany, but then all of a sudden you're supposed to say Kief and then Turkey at the Olympics, Turkey's trying to get everyone to pronounce it like Turki with like the weird dots above the U. I'm like, what are we doing?
Iran then comes out and goes, we didn't talk to this guy and we have no negotiations.
And I guess Trump did not address this.
A lot of speculation was that on the pro-Trump side, they're saying Trump's negotiating with rival forces to the IRGC.
The productive talks were that we're trying to get someone else to take over.
I think that's wishful thinking.
I think the truth is Donald Trump likely, concerned about market movements and oil prices, wants to put out a message of confidence that we are going to be winding these things down.
He keeps saying we're contemplating winding down, despite the fact all indications are we are deploying troops into the region.
Now, Iran then fires missiles at Israel, seemingly to prove they have no interest in de-escalation or peace talks.
So this flies in the face of what Trump is saying.
I can certainly envision a scenario where Trump did communicate with them.
They did agree to open the straight of horror moves and calm things down, and then came out and lied about it to make Trump look weak and stupid.
That being said, the next big component of the story is that reportedly Iran fired ICBMs at Diego Garcia, a U.S. airbase.
I believe it's what, like 2,000 kilometers away or something?
Outside the range of what is believed to be Iran's missile capability, indicating that Iran has the ability to hit Central Europe with ICBMs.
And if they get nuclear weapons, you are now dealing with an enemy, with an adversary that is nuclear-armed, erratic, and ideologically fundamentalist.
Now, a lot of people are saying they don't believe it.
Iran claimed that they never fired these missiles.
It was actually Israel doing a false flag attack.
And it's really going to come down to whether or not you believe the U.S. or Iran.
I just think it's actually scary that we are currently at a time where there's a large portion of Americans who do not believe Western allies in general, because the U.K. also confirmed Iran fired these missiles.
But we just don't trust our governments anymore.
But it is still strange to believe Iran over this.
These are not good people.
They do not like us.
So it's really just difficult to know who's telling the truth.
I'm only going to say this.
I live in the United States.
I'm going to go ahead and just lean towards, I don't know if I can trust them.
Actually, I know I probably can't, but I'm going to have to go with them on this one anyway, because I have no reason to support or want Iran any kind of success in this regard.
I just think it's insane that these countries haven't stepped up.
And it just continues to show that we use this word allies, but they really, it doesn't really mean anything because when push comes to shove, like even the straight, we're energy independent here today, including our oil production.
We've increased oil.
That was one of his top priorities.
So we could step away from this, but for the fact that then the IRGC gets control and this was all for nothing.
But that's why I think he's pushing and testing Europe and some of these other allies to say you have to step up because your oil is in jeopardy more than ours is at this point.
And I still think China's getting oil from Iran.
That's happening.
There's been conflicting reports, but guess who's getting rich off of all of this?
It's Russia.
I mean, they're making, I read reports, $150 million in the sale of oil.
That's what was such a shame was because we were flooding the market with the Venezuelan oil, and that was hurting Russia because obviously their war machine and whatnot is built off of not entirely what energy prices.
And then all of a sudden now we spiked the oil price back.
So the official number is that the range of the missiles towards Diego Garcia were 4,000 kilometers, where previously it was believed Iran only had a 2,000 kilometer range for their missiles.
Who's lying?
Is this a false flag by the U.S. and Israel to rally support against Iran, or did Iran actually do this?
Here's the issue I take with the false flag narrative.
The people who believe that the U.S. is capable of doing a false flag, the false flag, the false flags that conspiracy theorists believe the U.S. pulled off are substantially more successful.
Just launching some missiles and claiming they went this far but were intercepted is not typically how one would perceive a false flag from the West, who, again, tends to be more successful, like the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
In which case, if Western powers really wanted a cassus belly to get our allies or to get public support for a war in Iran, why do a thing in the middle of nowhere no one can see or believe that has no success and causes no damage?
That doesn't seem to make sense to me.
They could literally just have like a fake terrorist blow up, killing civilians, and then be like, oh, look, it happened.
It makes more sense that Iran's got crummy missiles that can go pretty far and didn't work, but did go far than we thought.
Well, look at how Iran even attacked its proxies and then started apologizing for some of the attacks.
So this is all Iran.
And the thing is, their central command is no longer in charge because most of the IRGC, the top leaders, have been taken out.
So think about the proxies still.
We're fighting this disorganized underground war.
And this is not by the United States or Israel.
This is Iran.
And now they're poking a bear.
And we need places like Europe and some of these other countries to step up.
This is honestly a godsend, given that President Trump has said five days, because within those five days, all of these, quote, allies that are supposed to be our friends need to step up.
The probability jumps to 20%, doubling their money.
So they can cash out with a clean 100,000 profit.
If they are proven correct, they get over a million dollars if this actually happens.
Now, I don't know that there will actually be a peace deal.
I think someone knew Trump was going to send that statement, which would be enough to boost the price of those contracts that could then sell it a profit.
Someone knows what the plan is.
Now, beyond that, I think Trump is in a bind.
I think Trump supporters are, I'll give respect to some Trump supporters trying to maintain morale.
I don't always just say it's deceit for the sake of deceit.
I think a lot of Trump supporters are saying, no, no, I trust Trump on this one because they want Trump.
They want high morale.
They need this to succeed.
They don't want Trump to screw it up.
I respect that.
Losing in Iran after all this started would be substantially worse than like, I think it was a mistake to go in, but losing would be worse than anything else right now.
There are rumors that I don't want to mention because I talked about this this morning, rumors in the DC area.
But let me first start by saying loose lips sink ships.
What does that mean?
So back in World War II, you could have a guy who's a pilot and he starts packing his bags and a neighbor sees him packing his bags and he goes, holy crap, I think he's deploying.
He then tells his friends, hey, my buddy's a pilot, my neighbor.
He's deploying.
He's packing up.
He's going somewhere.
And I know all of a sudden the enemy knows.
Here's information on who they may be about to deploy.
Look out for air attacks.
So that being said, I won't go into the details of the rumors.
But based on what we're hearing in the area, it sounds like there will be additional troops being deployed for the purpose of taking Carga Island.
And this is just based on what people are noticing in the area.
But, you know, I don't even need to say that.
There's a viral photo of a troop eating lobster and steak.
I was actually very moved and someone's like, oh, that's just dumb mom vibes or whatever.
But I was very moved the other night.
I went on a Pentagon trip and I saw a bunch of recruits being sworn in.
And I thought, like, you know, these are the kids who are going to be shot up if we go into war with Iran.
And that was a couple of weeks ago.
It was before we went into war with Iran.
And I think that that's something people really need to remember.
The kids who get shot up are, you know, Kentucky, Iowa, like Ohio, you know, I mean, West Virginia.
It's all these kids.
And so when you're thinking about this, you really have to imagine, you know, you really have to want the absolute best for these kids, for these troops and for our country.
And if that's going big and like getting it done, whatever it is, and getting it done as quickly as possible with the least amount of casualties, that's at this point, that's what I'm in favor of.
I think most Americans would say we don't want war.
I respectfully disagree about Iran, though.
We talk about the 47 years, but they have literally been building and increasing their uranium intake.
And to a point where you even have some of the military members that have come on the news and talked about the fact that they were between six and ten nukes away from taking our embassies out to even some of our allies.
And I don't want to be a sitting duck like we were at 9-11 where we weren't ready.
Thousands of Marines to arrive in CETCOM the same day as Trump's Iran deadline.
Thousands of U.S. Marines are slated to arrive in the Middle East on Friday, according to two U.S. officials, the day President Trump has set the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
They say that Japan-based amphibious assault ship, USS Tripoli, the amphibious loading dock USS New Orleans, and roughly 2,200 Marines from the 31st Marine Expedition Unit will cross into U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. forces in the Middle East.
On Friday, the officials said it would take another few days for the unit to get to the Strait of Hormuz.
So I'm wondering, the implication, I suppose, is that Trump says he's going to give another five days is not actually about negotiating.
It's about giving our forces time to get to the region and get prepared for it for a ground incursion or invasion.
Sounds like that may be the case because we are, while Trump is saying he's holding off, we are actively deploying ground troops to the region.
I mean, I would do daily briefings and it's got to be somebody like Pete Hegseth who is talking to the American people and as much information as they can share, they need to start doing that.
I mean, Hegseth's been doing press briefings a couple of times a week at 8 o'clock in the morning, you know, and I've been tuning in and watching them.
Yeah, I mean, it's like this idea that like, and I might lose some people here, but bear with me.
The idea that they need to sell us the war is also like a false pretense.
It's like, no, if you're going to do it, do it, but then explain what's in it for us after the fact.
In the sense of this is what Trump's primary concern always was with the Iraq war, with Afghanistan.
Yes, he had some geopolitical qualms.
You know, he was saying it was a nightmare.
It took forever, et cetera.
But his number one issue, and you can see this consistently through every single time he talked about these wars before he was a politician, is he said, where's the oil?
Like, we'd conducted this massive operation.
You know, we moved heaven and earth to make these invasions happen.
But what was in it for the Americans as far as like tangible, like real reward?
Because you look in the past how empires conducted their affairs.
The British, the Portuguese, the Spanish, all of these empires, when they would conduct operations overseas, they would return with goodies.
They'd say, look, we have tea now and all these exciting new resources for the people back in the home countries.
The American empire, so to speak, doesn't really operate that way.
It's like the rewards are geopolitical.
It's hard to quantify.
It's hard for us to comprehend.
Where Trump, if he really wants to sell this war, so to speak, what he does is he drives oil prices back down with a successful operation.
He explains to the American people why this operation resulted in more money in your pocket.
That's how you sell it.
You don't need to sell it by saying, you know, it's about this like Pincer movement on China and like stabilize.
People don't like, we might respond to that and the people watching, but we're like, what, 5% of the country?
The majority of people are just like, yo, gas just went up another 20 cents.
What's going on over there?
Why can't these people in the desert figure this out?
Like, what's going on?
So that's how you do it.
If you're Trump, and Trump understands this very well.
This is why he's such a genius.
This is why he's such a genius politically.
It's because he understands people respond to reward.
People need to be incentivized to participate in politics.
The big question I have for all of these people is like, what are they doing generally?
This is why we're talking about Tucker Carlson saying that we've got to share power now.
The theory, of course, on Thucydides' Trap that I had mentioned previously is that these ultra-wealthy elites basically get together for a conference and just say, what's the point?
Why fight?
Like, we have more than we could ever want.
And beyond that, what do we even do anymore?
They basically just say, meh, we're rich, successful, powerful.
We're smart.
Let's just control everything.
And so then it feels like a lot of this is fake for some other reason.
Maybe the reality is that Donald Trump really is an insurgent candidate who's defying the elites who are trying to create this we're all rich, screw the people reality.
And Trump's like, no, America is going to be the best thing ever.
People are like, it doesn't make sense that Hassan Piker is a socialist who lives in a $5 million mansion and has like a $200,000 car and wears all this luxury items.
I'm like, because he's, listen, the play the whole time was, you know, he's at his like Rothbard fan club meeting, and they're like, we need someone to pretend to be a commie and go online and rally them all and say really dumb things to keep them confused so we can win.
And that's what Hassan does.
Stock Market Jump Looks Like Insider Trading00:05:32
This is where it gets crazy, ladies and gentlemen.
Check this out.
At 6:50 a.m. today, $1.5 billion in notional value worth of the SP 500 features contracts were bought.
This trade was so large, it set the entire index up 0.3% higher that minute.
Then 14 minutes later, Trump announced productive discussions with Iran were underway.
By 7:10 a.m., the SP had added $2 trillion in market cap.
Take a look at this.
That jump right there looks like insider trading.
But the question is, is it really insider trading if you know the president's going to make an announcement?
Is that insider trading?
I don't know.
But whoever made those purchases, boy, did they just get rich?
But wait, there's more.
Let me pull this one in first.
Kobezi letter says traders placed $580 million worth of oil trades 15 minutes prior to Trump's post about a potential peace deal with Iran.
6,200 Brent and WTI futures contracts were traded between $649 and $650.
$1.5 billion in notion of value that we saw.
It is not known whether one entity or several entities were behind those trades.
These trades likely generated over $100 million worth of profit in around 20 minutes.
And then he says, they, this is unprecedented.
Short positions in Brent crude oil futures by producers, merchants, processors, and commercial users are up to a record $139 billion.
These are the companies that physically produce, refine, trade, and consume oil.
Short positions have doubled since the start of the year.
By comparison, the 2022 energy crisis peak was around $155 billion.
By selling futures contracts at today's prices, producers are agreeing to sell their future oil at around $100 per barrel, even if the market price falls by the time they actually pump it.
This guarantees their revenue regardless of where prices go next, protecting their margins when prices normalize.
Oil producers are seeing unprecedented profitability.
Long story short, ladies and gentlemen, people somewhere know exactly what the long-term play on all of this will be, and they are getting rich off it.
Now, the shorts on oil are interesting because a short is a bet that a stock will fall.
So if they're shorting now, they are suspecting oil will drop down.
I will add additionally that rumors circulating in D.C. have been the entire time that this will not last, this conflict, more than a few weeks.
So we're already at a few weeks.
When Trump announces this, the rumors are that it's going to be over relatively shortly.
And it could just be, I've heard those same rumors too.
So somebody went in and bought a bunch of stocks hearing rumors in D.C. Or it could be these rumors are born.
Well, it could also be that because of these purchases, people spread rumors.
I think loose lips are happening in D.C. Somebody in the Trump administration or in some department told a friend, yeah, what's probably going to happen is this because this is happening.
It's not classified, but it's speculation.
Everybody here is in the DC area, they dump millions making this bet, and then they are proven correct.
So I would just call it wisdom of the crowd, or at least of the insiders, to suggest this war may be winding down sooner than we think, despite troop movements, which I certainly hope would be the case.
Yeah, I mean, I think there's a realistic situation in which like we actually do just negotiate our way out.
I mean, this is like the thing with Trump is he's proven over and over again he could like negotiate in these really tight situations.
So this could just be a plan truster making a bet here.
That could be the reality of the situation.
There is like a lot of these people out there that are just complete total plan trusters, and they actually are just taking Trump at his word when he's saying like, no, this will be like everybody who bought the Trump Truth Social stock.
Well, there was the people that said when Trump literally posted today would be like a good day to buy stocks and then like, you know, dropped the tariffs down and then the stock market exploded.
This could be a similar situation where Trump has keeps saying over and over again, hey, this war is going to end in a few weeks.
This could just be people that are like taking him at his word.
I don't know how the leaders installed that he's going to be willing to work with, which is why I really want to know who's going to be able to do that.
We're trying to get rid of those nuclear facilities and make sure correct because they're radical and they're crazy and there's going to be somebody else.
But there could be somebody that we can work with at the top so that when we leave, we can continue to work with them on the straight of Hermuz and our oil prices don't go up and down every time there's a conflict.
So not like New York is completely stable, but yes, people still follow the law.
So you have 30K NYPD and people largely let that system run.
You do not need that many people.
I mean, heck, let's just say 10%.
Let's say really 10% were radicalized.
160,000 people.
Your tunnels are shut down, destroyed.
The police can't do anything about it.
I don't even know how the military would get in there and deal with 160,000 people in urban guerrilla warfare, occupying buildings in windows with rifles if it really got to that point.
So when you take a look at Iran with 90 million, if you had 1% of the country radicalized partisans, 900,000 people refusing to allow a new regime to come in, you get a revolution overnight.
Regular people who live in these countries in America or otherwise are largely like, leave me out of it.
So we can blow up every single one of these people, but you still have 90 million.
And they're not going to the U.S. just come in and take over.
It's not going to work without a massive occupation of that country.
I mean, I think at least it seems like the objective from the Trump administration here is the same as it was in Venezuela and what it would be in Cuba, which is you just keep the regime in place.
I mean, at this point, like early on, so February 28th was when we started this whole bombing campaign with Israel.
But shortly, I think it was that weekend when Trump said that the people who he'd hoped to negotiate with, who he thought would be able to take over Iran, were killed.
I don't even know if Israel's going for regime change as much as Israel is going to just completely decimate Iran.
I mean, Iran's one of the countries that in 1948 kicked out like, you know, hundreds of thousands of Jews who ended up on Israel's doorstep all of a sudden.
And this isn't like any, I'm not saying anything about what if Israel's in the right or wrong as far as like their goals here.
I'm just saying like clearly they are out of step.
So, you know, if they were taking out like if they're settling scores really in Iran, that might not be like in the Trump administration's like that might not be their prerogative.
They could be actually seeking, you're dealing with two different, there are overlapping goals, but there are diverging goals.
You saw like yesterday where Trump was going out and saying they bombed like the gas.
Because it was $200,000 to $500,000 an acre before.
So this is crazy.
A nice payday could be on the way for homeowners in Ashburn's Regency neighborhood.
Data Center Dynamics reports residents are being offered over $4 million per acre to sell their property, data center developers.
I got to be honest, if I own property there, they came to me and said, we'll give you $4 million per acre, I'd say, give me $8 million per acre else on it right now.
This industry that we're doing right here is over.
It is completely over.
And it's fascinating because I've had a bunch of calls recently as I've talked about the business, the industry, companies wanted to buy the podcasting space.
And we've talked about over the past year or two that every single media producer has complained about a decline in viewership.
Like it's getting worse and worse for the cable networks.
I don't know, but what I will say is this: the reason for this decline is decentralization and ease of content production.
So podcasts and social media and YouTube displaced cable TV.
It was so easy for regular people to make content that people were just like, I'd rather watch a more authentic guy than Jake Tapper.
Now you have an expansion in the ease of content creation where people can go to AI and make mini docs and just spam blast them.
And they're producing hundreds of these per day, and there's thousands of people doing it, meaning that it's becoming increasingly difficult to be an independent content creator.
AI is going to end.
It's just, we're already seeing a lot of jobs get lost.
Now, we did talk about earlier that some of these companies are hiring people back because AI is actually fairly bad.
But the ultimate question will be for these companies: is your efficiency drop worth the save on labor?
And the answer is overwhelmingly going to be yes in the long run as AI improves.
Now, I also think that what they're doing in Northern Virginia is building Skynet.
They're building like the evil Ultron machine that will kill everybody.
Northern Virginia, this is the deep state.
This is the home of intelligence.
This is where they steal everyone's private data from, you know, it's the federal government building their mega machine.
What we are witnessing is the massive and rapid expansion without care, which will transform and destroy our economy so rapidly.
I don't know how this results in anything other than mass poverty.
The way it's been described to me by several wealthy individuals is that in the next few years, you will have, it's going to be like Elysium.
Where all the rich people speak French and live in a space station, and all the poor people live on Earth and can barely, and are struggling to get by and living on top of each other.
That's if you own property right now, if you are there, there is, how do I describe this?
Let me put it like this: if you know how much money you have, then you are poor.
That's the Andrew Tate quote.
So there's going to be a bifurcation right now.
The people who don't know how much money they have is the easy way to explain it.
When the AI takes over, they will be the elite class forever.
And the people who know how much money they have will be the labor impoverished class forever or just isolated and then slowly just wither away, I guess.
And this will dramatically reduce population.
The way Andrew Tate describes it, and it's actually a really great point that say what you want about the guy.
He explains wealth very well.
He says, I don't know how much money I have.
He's like, I have no idea.
I have a portfolio managed by somebody else.
I have properties that change value every day.
I don't even, I've got so many banking ones, I don't know how much money's in them.
And then he said, if you know how much money you have, you're poor because you are tracking your money and you actually, I mean, the truth is, Elon Musk does not know how much money he has.
The value changes every day.
He's got assets.
He's probably got wealth managers that are making moves behind his back.
He doesn't know about.
I'm not saying behind his back, but like for him without him knowing.
With these data centers, you've had people, as we mentioned, they're going to open, they're going to hire, they're going to buy robots and kiosks to make the cheeseburgers for their burger shop.
But there's not going to be people to buy the cheeseburgers.
There are going to be jobs that generate revenue for the people that have to live under the system, and they will have to do some kind of labor to the benefit of the people who own things.
In Ukraine, I went there in 2014 and 2016.
And I was actually considering moving there at the time because things were relatively stable.
And it's like the average income of a Ukraine was $400 a month.
The average rent was something like $100 a month for like a downtown apartment.
That was fairly nice, like $100.
But to buy the apartment, it was $400,000.
And I'm sitting here thinking to myself, who can afford $400,000 in Ukraine?
Oligarchs.
Ukraine's an oligarchy.
All the land is owned by like 16 people.
All the property is owned by the same 16 people.
They are ultra-wealthy elites who can afford to buy it.
But they were people who were doing coding jobs for like $150K a year.
So these people were the ultra-wealthy of Ukraine.
And so I look at a country like that.
That's what I think the U.S. will turn into.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
And there will be a tiny pocket of maybe 30,000 ultra-wealthy elites who will want for nothing forever.
So my conspiracy theory here, it's not really conspiracy theory.
I would surmise a decent probability.
They have already told us publicly they've given some of these large language models access to the internet and finance.
They've given them money.
I guarantee you, these machines know how to make money off of the stock market better than any individual or corporation.
We have known for a decade plus that many of the biggest investment firms use computers to execute trades rapidly, faster than a human can, to exploit.
It's like arbitrage.
When they see a trade going in, they can get in between it and then take a fee off the top and then transfer it.
People do it with cryptocurrency as well.
The theory is that the AI has already been unleashed either by a private corporation or the government itself.
It has started generating money.
And every researcher in AI will tell you this.
When you ask the AI to solve a complex problem and ask it, what does it need to solve those problems or to expand?
It says, it'll always just say, I need more data centers.
I need more resources.
So the theory is then when you open it up to the internet, what will it do?
Everything in its power to start buying up land and generating and creating data centers.
So there are weird buildings with no humans working in them.
There are no lights in the building because they don't need lights because robots do the general maintenance and they don't need to see the way humans do.
There is a theory that the houses surrounding the data centers are not actually inhabited by humans, but were constructed to make it look like a residential neighborhood.
But you never go there because no one lives there.
So it's like in New York City, the houses, like there's a lot of houses near transit stations, and they're just sort of like a little bit of transit infrastructure in the house.
In California, they have fake houses with oil pumps in them.
There's a fake house with a highway under it.
I can't remember what this might be in LA somewhere.
So we actually covered this before.
There are neighborhoods that people suspect are empty because there's no cars and they never see people coming or going.
But if no one lives there, why would a human ever go there, right?
So the theory is the data centers, the AI, builds a bunch of developments around the data center to look like a residential neighborhood so that people don't grow suspicious, the giant black box that are popping up.
You have no reason to drive into a dead-end neighborhood that goes nowhere unless by accident.
So some people have claimed there are developments with no people just for the purpose of camouflage.
And they've been like, I was just like driving around the neighborhood and I went in this area.
There was no cars.
There were no people.
The houses all seemed empty.
And I was thinking, what is this?
Now, the truth is, maybe it's just a new development.
No one's bought property yet.
But at the same time, I've also noticed a massive expansion of developments around where, around this area, because we're not far from Louden at a time of population decline.
So for what purpose are they preparing to build lots and lots of houses?
I don't know, but I will also stress with this story, the creepy thing is that where we are right now is in the power corridor for the data center alley.
And the theory, my understanding is that this area that we're in will comparably sell for psychotic prices because the data centers will need transmission lines.
So we've talked about it before, but the story goes, the reason these sales are happening quietly and rarely reported on, which this is going to piss off a lot of people, is because residential, because human beings don't like it.
So we covered a story where transmission lines are trying to, they're trying to build transmission lines next to a Christmas tree farm in Mount Airy, Maryland, and they're fighting it saying we don't want this.
This is why none of these, this is why they sell it for $4 million.
They go to the family and they say, how much do you want to tell no one?
And the crazy thing is there are rumors, stories, this is all urban legend, that the sales, this is why people think it's the AI itself doing it.
You'll get an email from a corporation saying, we want to do a quiet, quick sell with no agents for this property you own at a premium price of this amount.
And then the people say, what do I need to do?
And they say, we're going to mail you paperwork.
You sign it, send it back.
You will get the money in your account and then leave.
So they never even see a person.
There are stories that we've been tracking.
High profile.
And there was one that we read about just not too far from here.
Something like 100 acres sold for like 30 million dollars on the insane price quietly without an agent.
And it's not in the news anywhere.
There's a story of like the Ashburn stuff we see quite a bit because they're selling at record prices and there's a lot of people there starting to spread the news about it.
But in the area that we're in, there are rumors from regular people as well as certain reports that have popped up indicating people have quietly been selling off their lots for premium prices because either it's just a normal human being running an AI company and he says, look, people are going to get mad if they find out we're doing this, but we need 300 acre lots per data center.
I do know there's a lot of pushback on the data centers.
I mean, we're seeing it in Ohio where so many people, there's like multi-million dollar campaigns just to convince people that this is okay or this is good.
In Northern Virginia, there's a lot of these sort of manufactured communities where it's like there's an anchor Whole Foods or a Wegmans, and then there's a lot of little restaurants, there's apartments, there's townhouses, and then like a little bit spread out, more single-family homes.
And I was driving around there with my mom who hated it, right?
So throughout the 90s and the early 2000s, we were hearing from civil engineers that we needed to build more walkable communities with town centers.
And nobody imagined that what it would look like is a prefab, manufactured, you know, crap-looking set of buildings and homes.
But that's what that is.
If you take like your sustainable vision and you put the money behind it, that is the kind of money we have and not like millions of dollars, you know, billions of dollars to make it look like something that was organic and sprung up over hundreds of years.
And people, I see people in chat being like, Tim's full, stuff's not happening.
I just pulled this up from governor.westregion.org February.
This is just a month ago, a $4 billion investment in a near 600, what is it, 1.9 million square foot 600 megawatt critical IT capacity data center in Berkeley County.
I told you this was happening.
They are combining parcels.
They are doing land acquisition deals quietly.
Now, to be fair, this was announced by the governor in a press release, but no one is covering this stuff.
Where we are in West Virginia, we got Berkeley and Jefferson County.
You need this land for day.
They want it for data centers and for power transmission into Data Center Alley in Virginia, which is only like from where we are, 10 minutes, 15 minutes.
If you want to get to Leesburg and get further down by like Ashburt's a bit further away, but I'm telling you, these companies are moving in quietly, dumping billions of dollars, buying out land.
What you need to understand is in residential areas, the way the structure of human civilization in the United States people own like single-acre lots.
So you might have a 50-acre lot, a hundred acre lot, but you're going to have a ton of half-acre and single-acre residential lots.
How do you buy them all up at once?
It is particularly difficult, and they need to do it quietly.
It is happening.
This is crazy because I said there was like a 300-acre plot that sold for millions last year quietly.
Some dude bought it for dirt and then sold it for like 30x, not even that long after.
They are going to be moving in and just flooding the zone.
I don't see how you stop this from happening, but understand what it means when your neighborhood gets taken over by an investment into a data center.
There are no jobs there.
It will drive up energy prices to an extreme degree.
You will eventually, it's like the movie UP, right?
Except instead of being surrounded by a shopping mall and human development, you'll be surrounded by a giant black box and there will be nothing, nothing for you there.
Your neighborhood, your community will be turned into a giant black box.
Because President Trump did talk about a lot of these data centers and making sure they were going to generate energy and pay for it themselves so that residents weren't getting the energy like the fees passed on to them.
So how much of it are his policies going to protect in terms of energy costs and things like that?
You know, but the, yeah, Trump was saying that one of the things he was recommending when data centers were being built, these big companies building their AI data centers, was that they also build power plants.
And he said that the zoning and the regulations would be fast-tracked and there'd be no issue to get the power plants approved.
So I think there was one in Georgia that maybe was also building a power plant, but certainly the stuff that's going that's happening in Maryland, like they're not building power plants.
I doubt this is going to be in Berkeley County.
I doubt there would be a power plant built with that.
And it's sort of a catch-22.
I don't know if that's the right term for it.
But Trump was also saying that he was going to prevent big corporate housing groups from buying up all the housing.
He's not going to be preventing big AI companies from buying up all the housing and just tearing it down.
So, you know, let's say the let's say BlackRock is prevented from buying up a whole bunch of property, but this AI data center is not prevented from buying up a whole bunch of property.
We then still have the same problems with expensive housing.
I don't know, but I mean, the AI companies aren't foreign companies like Meta is an American company, you know, but if they, but if they, Trump is so on board with the AI centers that I don't think he would do anything to put a stop to them buying up that land or that housing.
And the other thing I think is communities like probably Morrissey and others, when they look at these centers, they look at the initial jobs.
And West Virginia had a, I think, a 19% increase in population last year in 2025.
Definitely, you know, the area could use more jobs, but these are all short-term jobs.
Let's see what we got going on here with some of these super chits.
Let's grab some messages from the people.
Marushio says Trump basically walked onto the set of hoarders trying to fix 40 years of a mess in only two years, but people are blackpilling that he didn't fix it all in two weeks and complaining that he's throwing stuff out.
I mean, there are people that didn't want him to go to war.
They voted for him thinking, I mean, this is why the theory that Trump was part of the machine the whole time gets a little bit more credence.
Like he's going to war with Iran, you know?
He's trying to get the petrodollar back on track.
He got a whole bunch of people who thought he would not go to war with Iran in the Middle East to vote for him and then did.
So maybe, I don't know.
My attitude is kind of like, well, he's still done better on foreign policy than most presidents, actually all the presidents of my lifetime.
And when people are like, but aren't you mad he started a war with Iran?
And I was like, bro, every single president of my lifetime has started wars.
So I can only be so disappointed in it.
Foreign Policy Better Than Lifetime Presidents00:14:27
A Kentucky family rejected $26 million to sell part of their farm for a data center, being offered about 10 times the going rate for farmland in the area.
Rusha says, would you feel better about Iran if boots on the ground meant Israeli, Saudi, and Kurds with U.S. just giving air, sea, space, and cyber support?
I actually think the TSA stuff, I think Congress lies and they go like, oh, no, we're having a political fight.
We can't fund TSA.
You know, oh, geez.
I think what's actually happening is they're like, we need to divert all that money to the war effort.
Money is not infinite.
And you can print and just produce money upon the creation of debt, but you still have a problem of inflation if that's the case.
So they have to control that number somehow.
Otherwise, you'll get a stimulus, like with Obama, to try and pay off the debt that they've mass generated.
So again, $200 billion to replenish our bombs.
Any involvement.
I also wonder if the financial crisis, a component of that, was actually the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan overexerting.
Because you literally can't just have infinite money.
It doesn't work that way.
But who knows?
Who am I?
But a man on the internet complaining about things.
Boba Fett says, hey, Tim, I'm in the hospital with baby number three.
I noticed a shift when Tucker got questioned about buying his house in Qatar, and he got flustered.
And now seeing him want the United States to fall in the world stage after Biden ruined it.
Again, it's people, wealthy elites, transferring their wealth out of the United States, expecting its collapse.
Guys, I got to be honest, without people, is Tucker wrong?
I mean, you could say his opinions are bad, but I mean, like, if it were true that Tucker was just transferring his wealth out of this country to foreign countries and advocating for them, knowing that in 10 years the country is going to collapse without children, do you blame him?
Basically, there are people in the area that have started making movements where locals have been saying, like, we're seeing a lot of people who live out here geared for deployment.
So I'm not going to say which units those are, but I have a much different view of the military since it turns out my son is friends with kids in the ROTC.
Like, they ordered bubble tea, and they would make it and put on the counter.
And there's just like 17 teenage girls all standing there staring at the bubble tea, confused, not knowing, like, to go take their drink.
And I'm sitting there, like, I am waiting for a drink for my family, and there's like a pile of bubble teas.
And they're just like looking at it, and then one by one would walk up, look confused, and like take it and look at it and be like, and then put it back down and walk off.
I'm like, did you not know what you ordered?
What is happening here?
And then when they called my drinks, I grabbed them.
And like all these young girls that think they're going to get rich and then sell their bodies but make no money and then destroy their lives permanently.
This guy's a fucking demon.
Piece of trish.
And man, like Epstein's bad, right?
And we're trying to figure out what he did, but we know what this guy did.
Stability in that we back off and then they start recuperating.
And maybe it's just a mowing the lawn scenario where they want to flatten as much as possible, send them back 10 years and then go back to the drawing board.
Yeah, if that was intel given to him, that was terrible intel because what we've seen following the bombings is on the streets of Tehran, it's been pro-regime protesters.
And that was just a horrible miscalculation if that was actually real intel.
I guess because we had seen the protests in the lead up to the strikes that would end up.
They're going to take all the videos of BLM protests and anti-ICE protests, tell the world that the American people are rising up and that Trump killed two American citizens.
And then if they actually started attacking us, most people would be pro-America.
I think the reality is quite a bit darker because, you know, I don't think a regime that censors information the way that they do and recently killed, you know, a debatable, ultimately, amount of people.
I don't think that they, you know, have even a plurality of support in the country.
But even assuming that they did, the reality is that the country is very polarized in what they actually want.
And you're not going to have us welcome with open arms, but also you're not going to have people throwing themselves on the bayonets of Americans to save this country.
I think that a Syrian-style collapse is the most likely scenario.
Yes, but if there are infrastructure destructions such as the water supply and all these other things, you know, like that's where that sort of thing starts looking much more likely, I think.
But I think Trump ultimately has been sort of captured by the wing of the foreign policy establishment that believes that they can install the prince, basically.
And ultimately, I have been on Telegram quite a bit.
I think there are a lot of defections and things like that, but ultimately it's impossible.
It's impossible to see any internal metrics.
And so I really do think the Syrian-style internal collapse is the most likely personally.
I don't think Trump is going to taco, though, because the five-day window he gave coincides with when the Marines are going to arrive.
So, I mean, like, that just gives you options, quite obviously.
But that's anyway, that's just my two cents, you know.
So I've actually practiced immigration law, and I'll tell you that it's what drove me out of practicing immigration law.
I routinely found that companies would post positions that would lure foreigners from China and India at the lowest Department of Labor number that they could possibly get that most Americans wouldn't want.
So let's just say it's an engineer and we should be paying at that time $150,000.
They would post the job for $70,000 or $65,000, just lowball, lowest number to get foreigners to come here.
And for a long time, I think it's been a scam and it's worked up until the point that we realized we've not only had labor shortages, but we've had a lot of Americans out of work.
So, for me, and this is just my opinion, I think we should completely stop the immigration system.
I think we should not be importing labor anymore until we figure out who's in our country, like completely lock it down.
If you're in here with a green card, great.
You don't get to be a U.S. citizen until we vet you.
If you want to come here for a job, no thank you, because there's Americans that can't even afford to put food on their table today that are driving Ubers.
I mean, I've talked to so many Uber drivers lately who will just drive me from the airport and I'm asking them what they do for a living.
They have normal jobs, but they still can't afford their bills.
So, I'm 100% against immigration until we figure out who's in our country, deport the illegals, deport the individuals that are trying to wreck havoc in our country, and then figure out what that talent shortage is and maybe open up an H-1B process that makes sense without letting countries like India and China take advantage of us.
And I say this: being born in India, coming here legally, I know what this country offers.
I think a lot of people do come here for the right reasons, but we have a lot of work to be done on that immigration front.
And I think it's America's fault.
And then, of course, foreign countries that have taken advantage and loopholes.
I wanted to give you a chance to still man your position because I didn't want to just lay into you.
Because I know you've done some work with Yvek Robin Swami, and he's pretty pro H-1B.
I didn't want to just start off and really go after you because it was actually difficult to find your position on H-1Bs.
I wish you were a little bit more vocal about it on social media and stuff, make that a little bit more apparent.
But my response to that is there are no fucking jobs that I can find for H-1Bs that Americans can't do.
For example, Amazon just laid off 30,000 Americans and then hired 12,000 H-1Bs.
It's just a bunch of bullshit at this point.
I don't think this is in any way justified at all.
I'm kind of wishing, and by the way, this is an early shout out to a guy I know who's in the or who was in the hospital, Phil Lebonte.
I hope he's feeling better.
Because if he were here, he'd be fucking listening to this and shaking his head just up and down, not in agreement with it, because it should just all be stopped at this point.
There are at least, I know at least a dozen people with fucking computer science masters, this and that, who had good jobs.
And they got laid off because some fucking H-1B came in and basically took their job for maybe two-thirds of the pay.
I have a friend who used to work as a headhunter from Oracle or for Oracle, and he headhunted, you know, basically hiring people from India and other things.
And what he found was as soon as they were in the company long enough, as soon as he got enough of them in a department, what would happen is eventually one of them would be hired as a manager because no one fucking understood what these guys were saying at work anymore.
And then once they became the manager, they just hired nothing but people from there.
And eventually they laid off the headhunting company because, well, why the fuck do you need a headhunter who can't speak Hindi or, you know, any of these other things?
And so my question there, why do you think there's not anyone talented enough for these fucking jobs?
Because again, Tim was just in Texas.
I'm surprised he didn't have Sarah Gonzalez on and then with the other reporter because I believe Lisa is actually friends with these people.
She's been investigating the fraud and I know you've been investigating fraud with immigrants.
Why haven't you done more for the H-1B fraud in your investigations?
Why haven't you addressed this?
And what do you plan on going doing further until they're all out of this fucking country?
I mean, all of them.
I mean, if you, and by the way, there are YouTube channels out there right now that are instructing these people on how to get O1s or B1s.
India has nearly 4% of their entire GDP is remittances.
Germany just signed a deal to actually bring in workers into Germany because they finally just fucking got tired of pulling in all the Muslims and everything for jobs at this point.
Because their replacement rate is low enough.
I mean, that's what they're doing.
And when it comes to remittances, like from or to each of the countries, it's like in the trillions, I think, to India.
I've looked at this before.
But I mean, it's just, it's fucking insane.
The entire GDP.
I think it's the economic policy of India to have people go and send money back home.
That's why I'm picking out on this right now because I agree Somali is bad, but I mean, every week we have people trying to call in on this H-1B stuff.
Look at all the trucker shit from last year.
Like, it's bad.
And India, I believe they ended up looking up per countries on these CDLs.
India was like the top country on that shit.
That's why I'm picking out India.
And because I couldn't find anything about you with H-1Bs, that's why I wanted to call and ask you this question.
But no, I wanted to shout out that and get a shout out for Phil because I know he's, you know, I don't know if he's still in the hospital or what's not going, but he was talking to Josie or whatever on Twitter about it and sad to see that.
That's the structure of politics in this country is that I can literally go out and say, my race is superior to white people.
And there's no negative repercussion whatsoever.
I will not get banned.
In fact, they'll probably clap for me.

Well, what I was actually asking was: do you think it's okay that we have courageous and great in this country that vote a particular way and then their votes get shut out by this white majority of the country?
That's like there's a movie called Gleaming the Cube, and it's a nonsense statement that they thought was a reference to skateboarding because some skateboarders said it randomly because skateboarders are probably on drugs.
But it also kind of sounds like something Ian would just blurt out, assuming you would understand what he was saying.
It means pushing your skills to the limits or life to the absolute edge.
It originated in a thrasher interview where skater Gary Scott Davis asked someone if they had ever gleamed inside a cube, which was considered gibberish at the time.
Because they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
So, the core of Polish jokes are that they're dumb and do dumb things.
And the origin of this is that when people started to encounter Polish immigrants, they found them to be pretty stupid.
Because after when World War II started with the German invasion of Poland and the Russians came in, the first things both Germany and Russia did was execute their thought leaders, their elites, their academics.
So, all that was left was laborers and low-skill workers.
So, basically, Poland, which has been around for a millennia, which had great and tremendous history and success, and very intelligent people, they were all massacred by the Germans and the Soviets.
So, when they fled and came to the United States, it was just a big spattering of low-skill labor.
And everyone was like, Man, these people are so dumb.
And then basically made fun of them being stupid, but it was just because of genocide, which is the best joke of all.
