Chinese "Spies" Indicted For Attempted BOMBING Of US Central Command, WW3 | Timcast IRL
For advertising inquiries please email [email protected] Show less
A brother and sister have been indicted for planting a bomb outside of central command.
Apparently, they fled to China.
One may have been arrested.
Another individual is at large.
This story is crazy.
I'm surprised it's not the headline news everywhere because many people are saying very likely Chinese spies attacking the United States for some reason.
We also heard a story from a couple weeks ago that didn't get picked up.
Unauthorized drones flying over a U.S. Air Force base.
This is getting kind of weird.
So we'll talk about that, but we've got a bunch of massive news.
While Donald Trump is saying Iran is basically cooked and we're winding things down, we're also getting reports that we are just flattening more military sites in Iran.
Things are getting absolutely crazy down there.
And there is this great thread that outlines Donald Trump's plan for global domination.
Sounds crazy, but I think it's pretty much spot on.
We've talked quite a bit about Donald Trump's foreign policy plans.
And based on this breakdown, it looks like Iran is the last piece of the puzzle for Donald Trump.
And if his strategy plays out here, the U.S. will be the uniparty, I mean, I'm sorry, the unipolar global power, the hegemonic power, making America great again, I guess, in that way.
And we've got another crazy story.
Candace Owens went after Nick Shirley, which has a lot of people scratching their heads.
Of course, Nick Shirley has been doing amazing work exposing fraud in Democrat cities and states.
Candace Owens came out claiming that he was fake news and that he was fabricating stories.
We'll get into the details on that because it is weird.
And I actually have, the story that was in question was about Brazil.
I have first-hand experience there and I can corroborate Nick Shirley's reporting.
This is, this is a weird story, but we'll talk about that a whole lot more.

We've got Stella Escobedo.
Hi, Tim.
Good to see you.
Thank you for having me.
Absolutely.
Who are you?
What do you do?
I'm great.
What do you do?
What do I do?
So I'm just a girl living in this living the American dream.
No, really.
Like a random person.
We saw you.
We were like, she looks good.
He saw me on the street.
No, I came to this country as a refugee, and so I'm living the American dream.
I've been a journalist.
I spent almost 20 years in mainstream media.
Gotta go back.
And I gotta go back.
I gotta go back.
I gotta go back.
Why am I going back?
No, I'm not going back.
This is my country.
And now I'm just doing my own thing, independent media, where it's at.
Right on.
I'm following in your footsteps.
I appreciate what you've been doing.
Wonderful.
I appreciate it.
It should be fun.
Of course, we got Carter, Ian, and Phil hanging out today.
What's up, homie?
Let's jump into the news.
We've got this from Fox 13.
Brother and sister charged after an explosive device was found outside MacDill Air Force Base.
Of course, this is the home of Central Command.
They say, according to the FBI, Alan Zhang, 20, faces multiple federal charges, including attempting to damage government property unlawfully, making a destructive device, and possessing an unregistered destructive device.
His sister, Anne Mary Zhang, 27, was booked on charges of witness tampering and acting as an accessory after the fact.
Quote, it was very, oh, I'm sorry, they say this.
The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Middle District of Florida said the investigation began on March 10th when a 911 call warned of a bomb near the base's visitor center.
At the time, no device had been located.
It was very short and very cryptic, but he said that a bomb had been placed on MacDill Air Force Base.
Quote, you have something in a secluded location and hidden in the visitor center, and it just took a little bit more time to get there.
If you're going to examine our more sensitive assets on the MacDill Air Force Base, not that the visitor center isn't an important asset, but obviously Central Command is there.
Six days later, they say an Air Force service member discovered a hidden explosive device near the visitor center.
Investigators later determined it was an improvised explosive device capable of causing serious harm or death.
Interesting.
Quote, why it didn't detonate at the time is a question we'd like to ask Mr. Shang.
Our last notification is that he is in the People's Republic of China as we speak.
Wow.
According to federal prosecutors, Alan Zhang purchased the phone used to make the threat at a best buy.
And surveillance video captured him making the purchase and using a vehicle later tied to the case.
This is nuts.
I mean, this is absolutely crazy.
We've got this from the DOJ's website.
We also have another story from Fox News: unauthorized drones detected over U.S. Air Force Base housing nuclear-capable B-52 bombers.
This is Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.
I believe we've got this great thread that I want to run through with you guys in a second.
We'll do it after this.
But I do believe that Iran is the final piece of Trump's foreign policy maneuver as it pertains to natural gas and oil.
And if Trump succeeds here, then I will put it this way.
We don't win instantly, right?
Succeeding in Iran doesn't mean the game is over.
Checkmate, we won.
It puts us at such an advantage that our adversaries, China, Russia, et cetera, will have no choice but slowly start bending to the will of the U.S. hegemonic authority.
Look, this is something that I actually think that if the U.S. is going to use hard power, this is what it should be for.
Control the energy control of the system.
Well, it should be doing things that are pro-America long term, right?
So there's been so many times that the U.S. has used military force to do things for other countries or do things that weren't in the U.S.'s best interest or weren't America first, essentially.
And even if you're an anti-war person, if you accept the narrative that's here, this is unquestionably America first.
Of course.
And President Trump has talked, they're trying to make it seem that President Trump, why does he need to go into Iran?
He's always talked about that Iran has been a threat for all these years.
There was a White House press briefing today, pretty much with Marco Rubio talking about it.
What was it?
Since 1979, they've been a threat.
And when they chant death to America, they're not just using words.
If they could launch a nuclear weapon into the United States, they would have done it yesterday.
And Donald Trump has been talking about it for years.
He hasn't changed his mind.
And this is America first.
And I think you have this different camp of America only and America first.
You cannot be without allies.
You can't isolate yourself completely.
I think the sad reality is I would argue that our generation, the millennials, have what Ian referred to as pissed, post-intervention stress disorder from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
I called it post-intervention stress disorder, and then Ian pointed out it was pissed.
What's it called?
Anagram.
I don't know.
I put the letters together.
Acronym?
Acronym.
Yeah.
And so my point is that we are very skeptical on these interventions because they did not work in the past.
That being said, there are two extreme camps here.
Certainly there are varying opinions somewhat in the middle, but you have people who are saying no intervention ever, no war.
We should be isolationist.
I'm not saying everybody who's anti-war is isolationist.
Certainly you're allowed to be critical of these interventions and wars.
I respect that.
But you have these dominant voices that are isolationist or that we should share power.
I'm not interested in sharing power.
I have no problem with soft power and leveraging our wealth and resources.
But if the alternative, if the choices I had was the U.S. is going to bow down, drop the curtain, and we are now second class to China.
Nope.
Hell no.
Nope.
Not how.
So I'm not saying our only option is war with Iran.
I'm not saying that.
But it does appear based on the moves Trump has made, he really is thinking about making America great again.
And that does include forcing everybody onto the petrodollar system, which admittedly I did not think was going to be a big component of his play early on.
Certainly, I thought he focused more on boosting our manufacturing and our population, but I think Trump learned an important lesson.
And that is one of the working theories is that the uniparty, the deep state, was intentionally ceding power to China to avoid World War III, to avoid what's called Thucydides' trap.
I think Trump gets in in the first term and says, no, no, we're going to get our jobs back.
We're going to build our borders up.
We're going to secure our borders.
We're going to bolster the American family.
And then he realized that our economy is propped up on the petrodollar.
And so before you do this, you have to secure that.
And the uniparty says, no, no, we're giving that up.
And Trump's like, no, So now war.
And well, and another thing, the amount of debt that the U.S. is in, right?
Like we owe so much money.
And the only way to guarantee that we don't have a significant default in the next five years is to make sure that there's a demand for dollars.
And the way to make sure that there's a demand for dollars is to make sure that the petro dollar is the currency that basically runs the world.
So this is more than just about Iran or even more than just about China.
This is about making sure that we don't default on our debt.
Right.
And also, I live in California and the gas prices, I mean, in general, are high.
Right now, we're almost up to $7.
And I tell people like, this is temporary.
And by the way, we have a lot of taxes.
Okay.
We should not be paying $7.
Okay.
At the highest, we should be paying $3 a gallon.
Eventually, it's going to come down.
I want to talk about China.
You were talking about what happened at that base.
I think we've been infiltrated.
Of course.
We've been infiltrated on so many different levels.
And, you know, we were reporting, I was reporting, you know, on the news that China's been buying up land in the United States near military bases.
And you were talking about, we were talking behind the scenes.
You're like, why isn't this on the news?
Why isn't this mainstream media?
That does not surprise me.
They don't talk about these big stories, but we've been infiltrated on many different levels here.
Yeah.
Wow.
And you have to wonder why they would plant these bombs.
What is the goal?
Who benefits?
Why do it?
And there's a couple different trains of thought, of course, always false flags come to mind.
But I wonder if it's just that Trump is about to tip the scale in such a way that it will not be reversed.
And so we are going to see desperate actions from infiltrators, from our adversaries and enemies.
If I understand correctly, there's a summit that Trump is meeting with Xi.
I believe they've moved it to May.
He did.
He put that out the other day.
I think yesterday.
The whole situation in Iran, particularly if they can get the Strait of Hormuz under control and get the situation in Iran basically, doesn't have to be one, but it has to be under control and not seem like it's spiraling out of control.
Xi's going to come to the table with nothing.
Well, Trump has talked about how he wants to isolate China.
He's been saying this for a couple of years now, and this is exactly what he's doing.
If you remember when I think it was Anthony Blinken met with the Chinese delegation, I think it was in Alaska, they specifically said, you are not negotiating from a place of power.
This is during the Biden administration.
They specifically said, you are not negotiating from a place of power.
Like, that is incredibly disrespectful.
It is trying to basically push the U.S. around.
And now, when President Trump meets with Xi, it's going to be 180 degrees.
He's totally flipped the table.
And Xi is going to be in a position where he's going to have to make deals with the U.S. that are favorable to the U.S., not to China.
And he's also taking on terrorism.
He wants to do deals with these Middle Eastern countries and be like, yo, the old school thought, let's put that to rest.
Like this thought of like jihadism.
And he's trying.
He's trying his best to say, let's do business.
And you do have moderate.
You have the UAE, you have the Saudis, and the Saudis are actually supporting Trump going after Iran.
And Qatar, not so much, because then Qatar is left on an island with a NBS has said, keep going after going, yeah.
It's totally in the U.S. society.
It's incredible, though, that you have these Arab nations who are coming out and supporting President Trump.
And today, President Trump said, NATO, where are you at?
You guys weren't anywhere.
Well, NATO's a defensive pact.
So I don't know.
Right.
But it's not a, no, one's asking them to trigger a defensive pact.
He's saying, you're our European allies.
Defensive alliance.
That's not what...
That's immaterial.
It's a defensive allies to an offensive war.
It has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
NATO is a defensive treaty.
It has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
Sometimes you disband a defensive treaty.
And you fundamentally misunderstand the point being made.
You don't call an offensive pact for an attack.
We're not triggering Article 5, NATO.
And what are they?
They're exactly where they were.
We are asking our allies to join us in the war.
That has nothing to do with Article 5.
It's a defensive alliance.
That's called Article 5, Ian.
You don't know what you're talking about.
NATO.
NATO.
Uh-huh.
Is there an offensive?
Article 5 of NATO triggers when NATO is attacked.
Is there an offensive alliance with NATO?
Yes.
So if one of us goes to war and attacks, the others have to, then there isn't one.
Are you won't have that?
Are you understanding what's going on, Phil?
Military alliance with them.
Are you understanding why there's a difference?
There have been multiple times in history where NATO forces have engaged.
Like they did in Libya.
Right.
And they didn't until, I think now they've stepped up and said yes, but Trump's like, we're already good.
He said, what did he say?
He said today on Fox News, we're flying over, flying all over Iran, like owning the airspace.
They even asked him, they even asked him today on Fox News.
Is he gay?
Is he gay?
He's like, that's what I'm told.
I think Mustaba is dead, and I think he died in the initial strikes.
100%.
But Iran can't come out and be like, there's no one left.
Because you know why?
There'll be a civil war.
Because right now there's like all this confusion going on as to like who's in charge.
Oh, Mustaba is.
Let me.
You don't want civil war in that country either.
No, I'll tell you something.
Osama bin Laden was hiding in a tunnel or whatever underground before the internet was a big thing.
And we got videos and audios of him.
Where's Mustaba?
Who's like, can't I think about that?
You know?
I think he died.
And that's why they haven't issued any statements.
They said he's been flown to Moscow.
Oh, they said that he's been flown to Moscow now?
That was one of the reports because his leg got injured.
Did you see how CNN's been covering it?
I think they're like the only mainstream media outlet that's there.
Well, it's because CNN's about to get purchased by CBS.
So they're reading the writing on the wall.
Ah.
Yep.
CBS bought by the Ellisons.
They bring in Barry Weiss and the free press.
Now CBS is doing a hostile takeover of Warner Brothers, and CNN is going to get chopped off and put under the fold of CBS, which would be crazy.
And so it's actually interesting that CNN is kind of moderating.
I think they know, they're like, guys, if you go far left and then CBS buys you, you're fired.
Well, they're already like laying off a ton of people now.
CNN.
I'm surprised anybody still works there.
I read, I don't know what to believe, but I read that Netanyahu was like, well, let's inspire the Iranian people to come out of their houses and revolt, like streets.
And nobody did.
And then Trump was like, why would we do that?
They'll get mowed down.
We don't have any oversight.
Yeah, and I'm sure you know this.
I mean, they were literally shooting people in their eyes.
Like in the middle of the day, during the protests, they started shooting people.
When they, what, 35,000 people were killed?
They were, they weren't just massacring people.
They were literally shooting them in the eyes.
Like they would walk up to them and put it in.
No, like they like, like they'd shoot you in your eyes, like die.
Like they've executed several young people for protesting.
Yeah.
It's pretty wild.
It's really, it's really bad.
And you know what they turned off the internet so that we would know about it.
I do want to stress, too, to always be careful with this stuff because you never know how much of it is war propaganda.
But I'll put it like this: you're always going to get these people who are anti-event interventionists, some of them feigning that, but they're actually just pro-Iran or pro-Russia or whatever.
I don't know that I believe 35,000.
You don't believe that number?
Well, I would say this.
You know, someone asked me, like, do you actually believe Iran killed a bunch of their people?
I'm like, definitely.
Because they've done it before and we've seen videos of it.
Now, the number may be where they're flubbing things, but I don't think that the U.S. does a good job of trying to fabricate like 30,000 deaths.
There's going to be actual deaths.
Like with Assad, I've outright explained on the show that the reason we removed Assad was not because he was some evil dictator, but because he was barring Western forces from building a gas pipeline.
That being said, Assad killed a bunch of his own people because they were rising up against him.
I think the same thing is true for Iran.
I'm just saying, I'm not going to believe everything that comes across my desk all the time.
I will question that.
But we've seen this stuff from Iran years ago.
And you can call it a grand psyop where Obama, Trump, and Biden all colluded together to put out fake news about Iran.
I'm sorry.
I think Donald Trump really does not like the Democrats.
And I don't think the Democrats like Donald Trump.
I think the simpler solution is that Iran has killed a large number of their people because they started to rise up and they wanted to topple this regime.
Why?
Well, for one, they're Islamic fundamentalists.
And not everybody is, but a lot of people are.
It could be wrong.
Also, it's not an Islamic country, just so people know that.
Right.
Islamic regime, like when they took over in 1979, they changed the flag.
If you notice the flag, they changed the national anthem.
They're not Islamic people.
I think the simple reality is like with Cuba.
Yeah.
We saw protests in Cuba.
Regular people are just telling their government, why aren't you just doing this trade deal?
Why are you intentionally starting wars, getting in the fights that's resulting in us having our lives made worse?
If you're a regular person waking up and going to work, I don't care where you're from, you're not asking your government to start a war.
This is true for the United States.
This is true for Iran.
So you get these protests because people are basically saying, for one, there's fundamentalism and people don't like the religious police.
But I do believe a lot of it is we could have a higher standard of living.
We're a major oil producer.
If we just said, America, we want to trade and we don't want war, they would live like kings in Iran.
Right.
And I think they don't want that.
And the government wants their religious fundamentalism.
Exactly.
They want to fund Hezbollah and Hamas.
They don't want.
They do not want the stability.
They want to use the leverage they have through violence to gain access.
Exactly.
And now you get this mass protest.
What do they do?
Well, I believe the first thing they tried doing was just controlling the protests.
That didn't work.
So then you resort to mass violence.
Yeah, they got the order.
But I'm going to say this.
I just want to say one more thing.
The idea that we got involved in war in Iran because of that, absolutely not.
If the U.S. actually intervened in countries when there were humanitarian crises, we'd be at war with like 30%.
Exactly.
Yeah, no, I am.
On the continent of Africa.
We'd be in Africa forever.
Look.
Yeah.
I have to tell you, only 20%, though, of Iran, there's like 90 million people, are the Islamic fundamentalists.
But they have every reason to fight back because fundamentally for their jobs or just security, they're living large.
All this money.
And Obama, by the way, with the Iran nuclear deal, handed them over billions of dollars.
And then we also have a huge Iran lobby in the United States.
I want to pull up this post.
This is from 10 Delta on X.
You may be saying, Tim, who is this guy?
I don't know.
What is this post about?
Well, let me tell you, Donald Trump's plan for world domination.
And it was put so succinctly.
Who is this?
I am impressed.
This is just some guy on X.
I'm going to look at what.
Some guy on X and he broke down.
He's followed by Ed Krasenstein, so you know he's smart.
He broke down Trump's plan.
Yes, right.
He broke down Trump's plan.
And I'm going to give you the simple version before doing a quick skim through of this post.
And I recommend you check this post out.
Basically, what he's saying is that Donald Trump, over the past several, the past year, has made a series of moves internationally that has cut off Russian ability to produce gas, cut off China's ability to receive energy to produce AI,
and moving into Venezuela, strengthened the U.S. to take out the Venezuelan regime, the Cuban regime, and now Iran.
It's not a victory moment, but this is the last big piece of Trump's puzzle.
After Iran, the U.S. will have gained such control over global energy, there will be zero possibility that China will ever be able to rise as a dominant unipolar power.
Trump is restructuring the world order underneath the American flag.
Let me read through this.
I'm going to go pretty quickly, but it's a brilliant thread that breaks it down in great detail.
He says, three weeks ago, I argued the U.S. goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot, neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days, achieve a compliant success of our government and complete energy dominance.
The oil thesis was the obvious layer.
However, when you zoom out and view the last four years in a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander U.S. plan becomes visible.
I want to stress this extends to Trump's first term.
I don't know what was going on through Biden's first term, but it may include elements of the U.S. government and the deep state at the same time.
They say the Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40.
Nord Stream was destroyed.
The U.S. went from supplying 28% of Europe's gas to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million metric tons.
Next is Syria.
The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China's Belt and Road Initiative in the Mediterranean.
The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq, and Syria designed to bypass Western maritime choke points was completely destroyed.
Third was Venezuela.
In January, the U.S. effectively took control of the world's largest heavy crude reserves.
The U.S. Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth.
The U.S. captured a massive strategic reserve and solidified its position as the dominant exporter.
Venezuela and Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system.
Fourth is Iran in the Middle East energy shock.
Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir.
Iran retaliated by striking Qatar's Ras Lafan, the single largest LNG facility on earth.
Qatar Energy's own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone, and recovery will take five years.
The Strait of Hormuz is closed.
European gas prices spiked 70%.
Asian spot prices doubled.
The only remaining scaled supplier is the United States.
If Iran falls and a successor government is installed, the U.S. controls or influences roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of the global 103 million.
I'm sorry, out of 103 million, putting it effectively under U.S. control.
OPEC becomes irrelevant.
The war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro-natural gas dollar.
The market confirms this.
Gold dropped around 20% from January.
Bitcoin down 20%.
Brent above 100.
European and Asian institutions are liquidating metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply.
The U.S. grand strategy goes deeper.
AI is a physical industry.
It runs on power.
By choking the Strait of Hormuz and crippling Middle Eastern LNG and helium production, the U.S. is degrading China's ability to power its data centers.
The U.S. is energy self-sufficient.
On the other hand, China is import dependent, and every jewel it imports effectively now transits choke points the U.S. Navy controls.
There's a lot more to this, but it breaks it down rather perfectly.
The U.S. is seizing all control for AI development, natural gas, and resources.
And based on this, and I agree, the shuttering of the Strait of Hormuz is an intentional play that benefits the United States system.
The Gulf states struggling to export this product.
Now people are going to rely on U.S. exports, and we control Venezuela.
In this interim period, we have come to take center stage, the top point in the petro-dollar system.
Once everything resolves and Iran is in the Western fold, should Trump win, China and Russia will be under the boot of the U.S. hegemon.
Control the energy, control the system.
Did you see General Michael Flynn post it?
He goes, sounds like everything is going according to plan.
Yep.
And you know, Khomeini, he was supposed to go to Venezuela to take Venezuela out.
And now Cuba is falling into Western influence.
Venezuela into Western.
This is nuts.
I mean, Trump is toppling.
Who is?
Cuba.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, right.
Cuba's got no power left.
There's no energy coming in.
They're out of power.
Right.
So they're embargoed, and then Trump said, we'll sanction anybody who tries to give them oil.
And now there's no electricity.
There's one more thing that's worth noting that isn't mentioned here.
There's this place in North Carolina called Spruce Pine.
It's a tiny town in Blue Ridge, right?
Population is like 2,000, and it's completely irreplaceable to the entire global semiconductor industry.
It's the only place in the world that can get 99.999% pure silicone.
Now, obviously, chips are made of silicone, and they provide all of the silicone that goes to TSMC, all the silicone that goes to Taiwan to make the most advanced chips.
Now, we're building a bunch of chip manufacturers here.
Obviously, they're not online yet.
But if the U.S. controls that as well, that really does...
You forgot Ukraine, too.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, arable land for one thing.
But part of this report, I did skip over, is that in Ukraine, Ukrainians are sabotaging Russian energy transport.
So this is curtailing Russia's ability to...
This is what we talked about.
We've talked about how the barisma scandal was because Russia was importing natural gas into Europe, controlling 20% of European gas.
The U.S. wanted that to stop.
A Ukrainian was indicted by Germany for bombing Nord Stream 2.
This is Western power.
Guys, I'm going to tell you this.
Hook this hopium right up into your veins.
If this plays out the way it appears on the grand stage, I think we're looking at like a 1950s, 60s economic boom.
I'm here for it.
And as I sit here, I look at that sign right there and it says make America great again.
And Trump has a plan.
The desperation of the necessity of invention, like if the Chinese technocrats find out, look, we can't compete with oil and methane anymore, natural gas is methane.
We need to pivot to fusion.
We need to.
We have the fusion, bro.
Haven't you been paying attention?
We are controlling the oil markets.
I understand.
The oil and gas markets are under control, and that's a great energy market.
It's a great fuel market, but it's not the only one.
We will never allow anyone to create an energy source outside of what we control.
Right, but you can't, you don't have control over allowance of all things.
The United States can blow up anybody they want.
I'm not denying that.
Right.
That's my point.
I'm not saying they should.
I'm saying they have heart attack guns.
They have discombobulators.
They will, Ian, if you put together a fusion reactor and figured out a means of converting the fusion energy into electricity, they will discombobulate you.
Yeah, and I wouldn't even tell them not to.
If a human beings rogue and tries to build a fusion, you're like, discombobulate me to life, dude.
It's a threat.
If a dumb monkey gets a fusion reactor, it could blow us all up.
Like, I'm open to stopping that.
You know what I think they would do?
If Ian ever really got close to like discovering the secrets of graphene, they would dose you with such strong LSD, you would go schizoid.
I got to work with the government if I'm going to go hard into tech.
That's the only way at this point.
But doesn't like it.
Imagine this.
Imagine like you had a chicken in your chicken coop that figured out how to open the doors and was programming, like was using a phone.
You'd be like, I'm eating that chicken.
I'm either hiring that chicken.
I mean, to be honest, no, to be honest, if your chicken was using a phone, you'd be like, I'm calling a scientist right now.
I'm giving that chicken a TV show, yeah.
But if you were the U.S. government, you're seizing that chicken and removing it and you're studying it.
There's a lot going on in the world that the U.S. government doesn't know about.
And I don't know how much spy is good.
What?
They know everything.
That's what they want.
They know when you poop.
And that's what they want.
They know when they know when you poop.
Spy tech.
But then it's a lot of people.
Is World War III just like?
No.
This is actually a 10-year-old.
Like where every single person, when every single person is pooping?
You got a cell phone?
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
So they're tracking me.
So here's what, so Facebook got this data a long time ago and has the algorithm for the algorithm.
This story was super old.
It was a story.
It was like Business Insight or something.
So Facebook has collected enough location data that they now have mapped a billion users, a billion human beings, daily patterns.
So they now have a prediction for how long after a meal will a person use the bathroom.
They know how, like, if a person goes to work, how long until they go to the bathroom?
So the movement of your phone, they can predict where you're going to get lunch.
They can predict where you will go to the bathroom.
They can predict if you're going to get sick, if you're going to go home early.
The famous story, of course, is that a man called, I think it was Target or something, complaining that they had sent his $16 maternity advertisements.
16-year-old daughter was getting maternity advertisements.
And he said, how dare you send my teenage daughter maternity advertisements?
She is a child.
And they said, sir, these are automated advertisements.
When our system detects an individual is pregnant, it will automatically send these ads.
So she had been searching things like feeling sick and restless or back pain.
And the algorithm said, she's pregnant, send her the advertisements.
And she was.
Insane.
I didn't hear about that story.
That's like 10 years ago.
Yeah, well, then now they've probably up their game.
They know exactly what we're doing.
Of course.
They wonder when you say something and it pops up on your phone.
I mean, people think like anything.
Yeah.
They already think your microphone is on.
It's listening to you.
And those people are correct.
Phones have voice activation.
You've ever used yours?
Yes, like Siri?
Yeah.
So when you can just talk to it, you can say.
Yeah, he's here, and it'll turn on, right?
Yep.
So that means the microphone has to be on all the time so that if you say that phrase, it will activate your phone, right?
Right.
What translates your speech into text?
A server over the internet.
So, what your devices do, they're listening to 24-7, sending everything you say to a server to transcribe your speech into text and send the text back to your phone.
There was a very famous story where police subpoenaed, I think it was the Amazon device because there was a murder and they wanted the audio.
And they got the audio and they were like, how?
And they were like, oh, it was recording for some reason.
Because how else would it know you're activating it unless it was listening all the time?
All the time.
I don't know if they're able to get off that grid.
So just, I want to just finish talking about China in this instance.
That they're going to either be like, look, we can't compete with oil and gas.
We need to go to a new fusion source, maybe a hydrogen fuel system or something.
And then the other thing is the oil off the east coast of Vietnam, which I still believe the Vietnam War was about oil.
They said we have to stop communism, but they wanted that territory so they could pump, which the Trans-Pacific Partnership was all about pumping Malaysian oil.
Chinese might try and take that from the Japanese overseer, but we kind of got that unlocked, the physical lock in the Pacific, too.
You know, Japan, we turned that in the 60s, in the 50s.
But the other fuel sources, like, that's the one thing you can't really account for.
And like, is Iran the next, the final nail in the coffin?
Well, they'll always tell you that it is, that the next step is the final step.
But no one's, the administration isn't telling you this, right?
So this isn't some kind of like press release from the Trump administration.
This is a bunch of people looking at the global picture and saying, look, this is what makes sense to us.
So it's not a situation where this is the narrative coming out of the administration saying, this is why we're doing it.
This is what the goal is, et cetera, et cetera.
It's people looking at what the Trump administration has done and what it looks like they're doing in the future and basically deducing what's going on.
It's like slaying the final villain in a movie, but that's just what people are kind of brainwashed to think like because that's not what the world is.
It's not about slaying.
Yeah, and it's not about slaying the final villain.
It's about positioning the United States in a strong position globally, right?
Like it's not about trying to.
It's really this simple.
Do you want to be the capital or do you want to be District 7?
I want to be the capital.
There you go.
Let me play this clip.
We've got the story from Fox News.
Ladies and gentlemen, Iran is threatening World War III, but let's see what's going on with Operation Epic Fury.
And I think the funniest thing about this, people are now wagering that Donald Trump will personally visit Iran before next year.
I kid you not.
Wait till you see this.
But first, here's what's happening in Iran.
Central Command and the intensifying situation in the Middle East.
Operation Epic Fury presses on with U.S. forces continuing to hammer key Iranian regime targets.
President Trump posting this morning that Iran is, quote, begging to make a deal.
Matt Finn is live in Dubai with more.
Hi, Matt.
And Dana, taking a full look at that truth post, President Trump writes, the Irani negotiators are very different and, quote, strange.
They are begging us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been military obliterated with zero chance of a comeback.
And yet they publicly state they are only looking at our proposal wrong.
They better get serious soon before it is too late, because once that happens, there is no turning back and it won't be pretty President Donald J. Trump.
Now, here in Dubai, it's been a pretty active day.
A lot of incoming fire.
The UAE says 15 ballistic missiles, 11 drones fired at this country today.
Our cell phones have been going off with the shelter-in-place alerts.
We've heard some explosions in the sky.
The UAE says two people died in Abu Dhabi not far from here.
The UAE writing, the UAE's air defenses are currently dealing with missile attacks and incoming drones from Iran.
And the Ministry of Defense confirms that the sounds heard in various parts of the country are the result of air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles and fighter jets intercepting drones and loitering munition.
And our current game reports from Israel that the head of the IRGC's Navy was killed in an Israeli strike over 90.
So we've got that.
And then we've got Epic Fury striking over 10,000 targets and the IRGC naval leadership eliminated.
Iran is threatening 1 million soldiers are ready to fight the United States.
But here's where it gets good.
Over on our Kalchi prediction market, there is a 12% chance that Donald Trump will visit Iran before 2027.
But wait, people are actually wagering a 4% chance for that before June.
I'm sorry, that sounds like freeing money to me.
I am not advising you to do anything.
I'm just saying there is no way Donald Trump is personally going to Iran before June.
Not before June.
But I have to tell you, the Islamic.
Next year?
Maybe next year.
But the Islamic regime is a death cult, okay?
Here's the other thing is they don't want a deal.
They talk about like, oh, we're going to have a deal.
We're going to make a deal.
They don't want a deal.
But the scary part is if they actually make a deal, because they always play the long game.
Okay.
These people have a caliphate that, you know, their mission is a caliphate, spread their caliphate.
The scary part that people worry about is, will they agree to a deal and then just tear it up in three years?
You know, people ask for a ceasefire, and during the ceasefire, they'll build up their military and then they'll attack you again when the ceasefire is.
I'm going to tell you guys, you know what's really bothering me?
And I know Phil's going to chime in.
He's going to agree with me on this one.
I am not a fan of military interventions regime.
It's extremely expensive.
It's bad.
It's bad in the short term for our economy.
We need to win if you want anything good for our economy.
But for the love of all that is holy, the people that are effectively rooting for our defeat is the most infuriating thing imaginable.
I'm concerned about the Iranian civilians.
And at some point, like, I don't want to tell American government, stop, don't, because it's like, I don't really know what's going on.
And maybe this could preserve human race in a really, really beneficial way.
But the civilians of Iran, man, that's the most important resource in the world is that we preserve those people.
There's no military in the world that puts more effort into not killing civilians.
And if you look at the videos coming out of Iran, people are still going about their day normally because the United States is not targeting the population.
Very, that's not precisely.
This is not saying, this is not to say that there isn't going to be collateral damage or anything.
Iran is intentionally striking civilians right now.
I mean, think about it this way.
Iran has attacked U.S. military targets in the region for decades.
They have been arming the Houthi rebels as well as Hamas and Hezbollah.
They have been literally killing civilians.
The Houthis were bombing civilian cargo ships in the Red Sea.
And the U.S., and don't get me started on Venezuela, they steal our oil assets.
And the U.S. is just like, now, now, slow down there.
And they have been reserved the whole time.
Donald Trump finally says, okay, fine.
Israel says we're moving in, puts pressure on the United States to make a move now.
I don't respect that, but it is what happened.
And the U.S. says, we have legitimate grievances and we're putting a stop to this.
So what is Iran's response?
We're going to kill civilians.
Non-combat.
They're targeting the cities.
They're targeting people's homes intentionally and then complaining about collateral damage in Iran.
Look, collateral damage is bad.
We don't want civilians to die.
If it is true, the U.S. launched a Tomahawk, which blew up a school and killed a bunch of little girls, horrifying.
But the U.S. is not trying to do that.
The U.S. gets to a point where it says, stop bombing us, stop bombing our friends, stop killing people in the region, and they don't.
And the U.S. says, here comes the big stick.
And again, their responses, then we'll kill everyone.
Yeah.
Well, you saw the funerals, right?
After America and Israel took out all their leaders, they had massive funerals.
Did America go and bomb those massive funerals and individuals who came out and bomb them out of?
That was an opportunity, but that's not what America does.
But what are they doing?
They're consistently launching rockets into Israel on a daily basis.
They're missiles.
They're attacking other Arab nations.
Hey, look, look, I will say this between Israel and Iran.
I think Israel, I'm sorry, I think Iran has stronger capabilities than they've let on for a long time.
I do not.
Yes.
They fired rockets at Diego Garcia, which is our airbase in the, I believe, in the Indian Ocean.
And this shocked the world because they were like, Iran has been claiming they don't have this capability.
And I don't think it's surprising all to find out they actually do.
Did you see Paris Morgan?
He tweeted.
What is he?
And he was like, oh, well, maybe we were wrong.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Well, I'll say this.
Iran striking Israel, that's war.
Israel is striking Iran.
Iran is striking Israel.
Israel is targeting military.
Iran is targeting whatever they can target, which includes civilian targets.
So that's wrong.
But for what reason is Iran bombing Dubai?
Civilian targets.
Two people just died.
You know why they're doing that?
Because they were.
Well, yeah, not only terror, but they want to encourage the United States to take a step back.
It's like these are our allies.
Okay, we'll stop.
It's the equivalent of Ian and I get into a fight, so then I threaten your family.
And you're like, my family has nothing to do with this.
And I'll say, they do now because I'll do whatever it takes to win.
It's terrorism.
Of course.
That's what the underdog does in war.
Yep.
And so Iran has decided, and this is part of their doctrine: if you go to war with us, we know we can't win, so we will massacre your children.
They're in desperation.
They're in desperation mode.
But I do going back to the state.
I said if they had a nuke.
Yeah, exactly.
Imagine if they had a nuke.
Will Donald Trump visit Iran?
Not by June, maybe next year.
You think there's going to be a regime change?
Who thinks Reza Pahlavi is going to come into power?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
I thought he'd be like the Gandhi of Persia.
He'll come.
He'll give people hope.
He'll help them.
Here's what they do.
He probably will come back.
Reza has come back and said he has a plan.
Okay.
He has a plan.
He doesn't want to stay.
So he comes back.
Maybe he gets things done.
He just jumped to 16%.
That's probably our as we're talking.
Well, I'm sure people watching are going.
The Senate introduced a bill to make this illegal to bet on gamble on the war stuff.
Well, they've tried this prediction markets have been found.
World legal.
Reza could oversee a transition to an actual republic.
He has a plan.
Islamic theocracy said, hey, everyone, we'll call it the, it's a republic and we're going to govern you, but it wasn't a republic.
They lied to their people for the people.
They're not even there.
Like, what?
They mishandled that government.
Reza could come in and really turn it into one of the strongest republics on the planet that is preserved against the technocratic order.
If we do it right, it would benefit the United States, but I'll tell you something.
In 1979, the minute the Ayatollahs took over, they showed America and the world exactly who they were.
They held our embassy hostage for 444 days.
They literally, I can't believe it's not.
Until Ronald Reagan got into it.
Literally, they showed the world who they were.
It was because the Shah fled to the United States and they wanted to try him for crimes.
And the United States is like, he's getting cancer treatment in the U.S.
They're like, then we're keeping your soldiers hostage until you give them back.
Right, but my point is who they are.
In the U.S., so then they let the hosts.
Remember the Beirut bombing.
They killed our problem right now is you have a lot of young people who don't really understand who the Islamic regime are.
They're not freedom fighters.
They're not.
I think, I mean, I'm not arguing with that.
I think they're horrifying.
I think religious people are.
You just have a lot of young people who don't understand the history.
Zealous religion before reality is deeply concerning to me.
They're extremists.
Yeah.
Like, you got to put the book down and look around at what's going on on the planet.
I just want to stress this again because With the moves Trump is making towards Iran, there are a lot of people that are on one side anti-interventionist, but guys, you may not like this.
If Trump wins here and we reignite the petro LNG dollar and control global energy, Americans are going to live like fat cats.
I'm all a lot of people might not like that.
And I know I have a lot of friends that are like, it's not worth it.
The clatter damage isn't worth it.
I'm not disputing you or arguing morality.
I am saying the end result of U.S. controlling energy is that we will get a lot of stuff for very little.
I'm ready for Americans to be able to live and not have to work two jobs, three jobs.
California.
Listen, I live in California.
Okay.
And a lot of people are like, well, well, you get what you deserve.
No, there's a lot of people in California, good people, who say, well, we want to stay in California.
We want to fight.
But the cost of living there, I mean, Nick Shirley just did an expose on what's happening.
The fraud supersedes what happens with the Somalis.
Okay.
We have a homeless industrial complex.
It is literally a business.
They do not want the homelessness to go away.
As a matter of fact, it's gotten worse.
Okay.
It's a business.
So all these NGOs, all these organizations, they need to stay in power so they continue to feed the monster.
You go out in the streets of like, you know, Southern California, where used to be nice areas, you see zombies.
It's scary.
I have two children and they get scared.
They're like, what is this?
Like, they're zombies.
They're hanging, you know, they're everywhere.
You know, I guess the question is: do you want to live in a world where we are under the boot of China?
No.
And they're the ones doing, instead of the liberal economic order or Trump's order, they have the Belt and Road Initiative and we can't buy oil anymore and then people lose their jobs.
I mean, we see what's been happening.
The drugs are coming out of China.
The fentanyl that you're making the zombies you're talking about.
Literally, they came out of China through Mexico, via Mexico.
Yo, this feels like the second Cold War, and that we're ending it now with the Iranians.
Like the Iranians, I like that.
And the Americans have been in a Cold War since the revolution.
Yeah.
The revolution.
They still say they're still in a revolution since 79.
And when we ended the first Cold War, we had an opportunity to reshape the world in a good way.
You say we live like fat cats.
We can bring that tech to the planet.
We should have done it in the 90s and early 2000s.
We didn't have the internet to coordinate.
Now we can.
So the U.S. is going to end this Cold War and has an opportunity to really raise a standard of living for the human race.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, the U.S. and markets have been doing that for the better part of the past 60 years.
You know, like, I think the number of people that have lived that live in abject poverty, which is like less than a dollar a day, has cratered to like maybe like 500 million or something like that.
Out of all of the 8 billion people that live on the Earth.
So the Somali story.
Sorry, I'm just going to say one thing.
The fact that they were sending our money to al-Shabaab.
Yeah.
I mean, it makes my blood boil.
That's our, I want, as a matter of fact, I want my money back.
Yeah.
There are, there are two principal factions, it would seem.
The Trump faction is very, they're fine with Donald Trump securing energy and the U.S. control of it.
There's another faction that says it's time to share power with the rest of the world.
And Tucker Carlson made that quote.
That includes China.
I'm not interested in sharing power with China.
No, and I'm not interested in hearing what Tucker Carlson has.
I'm not saying I'm a fan of the war.
No, no, no.
I believe you.
I just, he's lost his mind.
I don't know what happened to him.
He basically, whoever his bosses are, didn't get their ROI because he's so pissed about what's happening in Iran.
Same with Candace Owens.
Well, let's pull this up and talk about it.
We've got this post from Officer Liu.
He says, wow, Candace Owens launches a surprising attack on citizen journalist Nick Shirley.
I'll first correct that and say Nick Shirley is not a citizen journalist.
He is just a regular journalist.
Citizen journalist means you're out walking your dog one day and you film a car crash and then go back to walking your dog.
It was used by the corporate press as a pejorative against people like Nick Shirley.
In her latest episode, she dismisses his hard-hitting investigative reporting as stupid, dumb, and completely made up.
This is the weirdest thing.
Let me play the clip for you first and then explain.
Look, I'm going to say it outright.
I think Candace is an op.
And I'll explain why, but first listen to this.
I've been to find myself on top of Brazil's largest favela in a destroyed house interviewing gang members of one of the largest gangs in Brazil.
Okay, I'm just going to say I don't believe that at all.
I'm sorry.
I just, I just, it's so stupid.
I'm not even going to tell you what I don't believe.
It's like, it's like, if you don't know that that's stupid, that he infiltrated the gang in 48 hours.
Like, it's just, that's so dumb.
I'm so tired of dumb.
That's not how that works.
Okay.
You don't just go up to gangs on the street as a nice looking white boy with a camera and say, hey, I just wanted to sort of like see what you're doing here.
What's going on?
Okay, that's to stop.
That's stupid.
Of course, that's dumb.
I'm sorry, Nick.
I know you're young.
I hope, you know, whoever is your contact that has you infiltrating Antifa and infiltrating El Salvador at the age of 23 years old, it just feels like Sean Penn young to me.
Like, oh, Sean Penn's always there.
She goes on and says, I was always there and no one cares.
She goes on this attack, implying that Nick Shirley is faking his videos.
Now, here's the thing.
This reporting from Brazil is around eight months old.
She went back and found a segment that Nick Shirley did unrelated U.S. politics, I believe, intentionally to discredit Nick Shirley.
And now I'm seeing a bunch of tweets responding saying Nick Shirley's a liar.
Wow.
They're saying this is, Candace is right.
There's no way.
Why would she do this?
Honest question.
Nick Shirley is currently working on Medicaid fraud stories in California, and they're massive.
Who's opposing it?
The Democrats.
Gavin Newsom's making fun of him.
Now Candace Owens is digging up old stories, not even big stories from eight months ago.
He had 64,000 views to insinuate Nick Shirley is fabricating or a plant.
Let me just say real quick, I have covered the favelas in Brazil three times, and I'm going to tell you exactly how I interviewed the gang members.
I walked up as a little nice white boy to the gang members and said, can we interview you?
The real story is my producer and I went to a favela.
We had a fixer.
This is a local who speaks Portuguese.
We went to a restaurant and got food.
We asked the woman who worked there, hey, we're journalists from America.
We work for Vice.
We wanted to interview some of the gangs about what's going on.
And she said, give me a second.
She comes back.
She gives information to our fixer and says, meet this guy later today.
He'll be up at this area.
We wait till it gets dark.
We go to meet him.
It's like eight o'clock or whatever.
And there's a guy sitting in a plastic chair.
We walk up.
Everybody shakes his hand.
It's a gang member, one of the gang leaders, a regular guy just sitting in a chair.
And our Portuguese, our Brazilian friend speaks Portuguese.
And the guy says, yeah, they go, okay.
And then we say, what happened?
He goes, tomorrow at one o'clock, we're going to come here and we're going to meet a young gang member.
He's going to put on a mask and we're going to interview him.
He's going to tell us everything that's going on.
It was that simple.
I believe it.
I spent many years in media.
You could do that like anywhere.
It's what you do.
It's literally what you do.
Candace knows, knows.
She always knows, knows.
By the way, Nick Shirley's part one out of California.
I know the woman, Amy Reichard.
Okay.
She's out of San Diego and she's been doing this research.
By the way, Nick Shirley goes and he actually follows these people who've been doing this research.
This is why you probably don't know him as a citizen journalist.
Yeah, exactly.
So I can confirm that what he is reporting is exact a fact because Amy has been reporting this in California.
I have to stress this point on citizen journalism and why it's important to me.
In the early 2010s, with the ubiquity of cell phones emerging, we started to get a bunch of videos from regular people who would film a news event and then never film another news event again.
A guy would be working at a hot dog shop.
He would film, he'd be filming outside a fight breaking out and then a shooting happens and then he posts it online and a local news outlet says, can we have this footage?
That is citizen journalism.
It's when otherwise non-journalists capture a newsworthy event and it's not their intention.
I started filming Occupy Wall Street as well as many others.
And the media insulted us by saying, this is not real journalism.
This is citizen journalism with the intent of saying we are random people who accidentally caught newsworthy information.
So even though I had been working at this for a year, I was being invited around places, they would still go, we don't, there was an event where I was not allowed on the main stage and they were smack talking me from,
I was speaking on a side stage about the future of media and prominent journalists were on stage insulting me directly, saying this is not real journalism.
He's not a journalist.
He's not producing journalism.
He was a guy who was standing somewhere and filmed a thing and now you guys are calling it journalism.
And I said, these people are scumbags.
Yeah, you are a threat.
Now, I don't think Officer Liu's point is to disparage Nick Shirley, but I want to stress this.
The word citizen journalism is used by the corporate press to say that Nick Shirley is not doing real work and he's untrustworthy.
Nick Shirley is a journalist, period.
Now, again, I'll say this.
I think Candace is an op.
Why?
This is calculated.
You do not accidentally go through Nick Shirley's footage and try and find something to discredit that could then call into question his current reporting.
That is a manipulation strategy that is a bit more advanced.
Meaning, if you go to someone and say, how do we make people distrust Nick Shirley?
The left has insulted him and they just call him a white supremacist.
He's a racist.
But people on the right love him.
How do we discredit him?
Okay.
Well, we can't go to the Somali stuff, Trump's praise it.
We can't go to the Medicaid stuff.
People believe it.
Newsom's against it.
We need to go and find something else he's done that people cannot relate to and can't prove that we can question.
So if you were trying to intentionally discredit somebody, you would go into their work and find something like this.
Brazil.
Right.
Where the average person doesn't know how it works and then say, it's so dumb.
It's so dumb.
You don't walk up to gang members and just do this.
And the people who trust Candace are going to go, yeah, that is dumb.
But there's no way for them to connect those dots to anything in their lives.
Unless you understand the journalism.
Let me ask you this.
As an op, who is control, like who's giving her the business?
She's married to a British lord and her lawyers work in a building with federal agents.
So the people who believe Candace Owens, I'll say it again.
Tell me why her lawyers work in a building with federal agents.
Honest question.
I'm just curious.
We're just asking questions.
Nobody's answered it.
They just, the response given is it's a coincidence.
And I'm like, oh, that's a coincidence.
She's the one who revealed the address, too.
And then it went viral because people were like, I remember that.
I don't know.
They were like, she claimed that these government agents were going to these buildings and she showed the documents that proves it.
And then the left came out and said, that's her lawyer's office.
And we were like, what the?
And we corroborated it.
It's true.
Has Nick Shirley responded to this, by the way?
I think they did, and she backed off.
But either way, what is the point of going on your show and telling her largely female audience that Nick Shirley is a liar?
I think that it's just looking for drama.
No, I think she could fight drama anywhere.
She has the drama club.
She put my face on a thumbnail implying I was involved in the murder of Charlie Kirk.
So she wants drama.
She can easily get it.
This is discrediting Nick Shirley, who's not engaging otherwise in political debate.
Nick Shirley is not doing political shows where he says Democrats should lose.
He's just going and filming things that are happening.
And really talking about issues that matter to Americans.
By the way, this was old, like you just said.
Now, is she done with Erica Kirk?
No, I don't think so.
Oh, she hasn't.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm just saying Nick Shirley is not a culture, it's not culture war relevant unless you're anti-Trump, anti-populist.
And so.
She's been going hard against Trump.
She is in the faction that wants to share power with China.
Man, I would love to know more.
I don't want to assume her intention because I can't.
I would think like there's emergent AI bots that are commenting on all of our stuff.
Let me ask you a question.
Why did she go through Nick Shirley's video going back eight months to find the story?
She's been like, you know what?
One day she got hit by inspiration.
She was like, I wonder what, I got to look into this Nick Shirley guy.
She got hit by an inspiration.
No way.
It came in.
Serendipity.
And she was like, I got to look into this guy.
This is how Candace thinks.
I know you, Candace.
I know you think.
She's like, I got to look into this guy.
So she pulls up all his stuff and she's like, oh, this is interesting and looks at it.
She's like, it's not perfect.
I'm going to criticize it.
People need to know.
It's not perfect.
She called him a liar.
She said he fabricated the story.
That's not how she works.
That's not how her brain works.
She said he faked that news.
Yep.
That's not inspiration.
That's accusing Nick Shirley of being fake news, of being a plant.
Well, that's after the fact.
Like what she does.
On her show, she said, That's not how it works.
You didn't do this.
I don't believe it for a second.
I was in the bathroom when you ran the clip.
So I saw the end of the clip.
I just think I was just talking about why she did it in the future.
This is dumb.
It's so dumb.
I'm so tired of stupid.
This is not how it works.
You do not woke up to gangs as a nice little white boy and get these interviews and infiltrate these gangs.
It's insane.
She said he's like Sean Penn, who just shows up and the cartels just leave him alone.
She's a total narcissist to you guys.
We can't ignore that fact.
Since Charlie died, I know Candace.
Candace has been on the show.
I know you directly, Candace.
It seems like since Charlie was murdered that you went into madness.
And what I mean by that is, I know it's a silly child's word, but what that means is that there's pain and confusion together.
You don't know why you're in pain.
That was a terrifying, like, Charlie getting murdered.
Was like, there must be a bigger reason for that.
Because they want out of the madness.
I want there to be a reason.
My first reaction after Charlie was killed was to think, what can I do to destroy his legacy?
And then worked as hard as I could to fracture the coalition that got Trump elected, accused prominent young up-and-coming journalists who are exposing corruption.
I called them fake news and I attacked the widow.
That's sure you're hurt because of Charlie's death.
Right.
Trust me.
There's that phrase, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Oh, yeah, like good intentions of targeting an up-and-coming journalist and accusing me of being a fat of fabricating news.
Yeah, that's good news.
She doesn't like to be outshined by it.
It does seem like an Alinsky tactic from Rules for Radicals to accuse something that you are doing.
Indeed, is doing, yeah.
Listen, Ian, think whatever you want, but there is literally no explanation as to why Nick Shirley, who has not attacked her, has not commented on the Erica Kirk stuff.
He literally just goes down and interviews people.
What is the purpose of attacking a person who does that?
For the Democrats, it's because he's exposing corruption.
But for Candace Owens, what does it serve?
Well, money, views, relevance.
Sure.
Talking about the popular shot right now.
Okay, so if your argument is that she's intentionally trying to destroy one of the best up-and-coming journalists we have to make money, I think is that what you think she's doing?
I don't think she's like, I would have to destroy this guy.
I think she says, if there's malfeasance here, I'm going to magnify it so people can see it.
And then she thinks it's malfeasance.
Well, I think it's narcissism to be aware of.
What malfeasance?
It's that he's faking this.
She thinks he's faking it.
So she made up that he faked it.
Yeah, that's a problem.
That's a big problem.
For money.
I'm not, what about it?
For money.
For like fame, relevance, power.
Why do we make videos at all?
What's the problem?
I would call that.
I want to tell the world myself.
She doesn't like to be outshined.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Who's left of her viewers, her followers?
Because every time.
A lot of people.
But every time you look at the comments, it's like, I've lost so much respect.
I'm out.
I'm out.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, especially with this one.
It's the Maha women.
It's suburban women.
Maha women.
Yes.
I believe that.
But I had so much respect for them.
This is why I don't believe it's organic because Trump got pushed over the edge by Maha suburban women.
These were moderate women who didn't like Donald Trump and wouldn't vote for him.
RFK Jr. comes in, and they do.
Candace captures that female audience with her Stanley mug in front of her thing.
It's a heavily female-coated audience.
And then she starts attacking the successful elements of the right.
Turning point USA did voter drives that helped Donald Trump get elected.
Charlie dies and she immediately accuses Turning Point of being in on it, fracturing Turning Point and damaging their ability to continue helping the right populist movement.
Listen, I'm sorry.
There is zero reality where any person of legitimate reason or mind attacks Nick Shirley.
I'm sorry.
Erica Kirk, we could just start with Erica Kirk.
Why would she attack a woman?
Because she wore leather pants.
Yes.
I'm not kidding.
She wore leather pants.
If we were in private and she brought it up, I'd be like, you think so?
Why?
And then I would talk.
To amplify it on TV?
Like, that's an you might think it's just a thing in real life, but it is a big deal to put your thoughts on TV.
It is a huge fucking deal how that changes the way you.
And then she had a meeting with Erica Kirk, too.
And then even after that.
It was an arbitration.
Yeah.
And even after that, she tripled down.
I think the end result of what Candace is doing is going to be the end of Section 230.
I believe it's a component of this.
The powers that be want to end independent media.
Shows like this, they don't want to exist.
We've been suppressed and censored a million and one times.
Our biggest episode was deleted for three years and I had to fight to get it back.
The first time we had Alex Jones on, they told me I was allowed to and then deleted it right afterwards.
So we did another one.
Yeah, on YouTube.
So imagine what happens when you have 50,000 videos attacking Erica Kirk in the most deranged of ways.
To the point where when you go on threads, you've got women saying, Erica Kirk will get what's coming to her, mark my words.
I'm not kidding.
It's an actual post.
So insane.
What happens when something actually happens to Erica or her kids, Charlie's kids?
They're going to blame the internet.
You're going to get congressional hearings and they're going to bring YouTube in and say, why did you allow this?
And they're going to say, because we got attacked for political censorship for years, so we backed off.
Now you're asking us to bring it back.
And they're going to say, well, you're allowing mass defamation and now you are liable.
YouTube lost a lawsuit just the other day stating that there's precedent now that YouTube is responsible for what they're promoting.
So the argument is going to be no one's asking you to silence these people.
We're saying, why are you promoting Candace Owens to new users when you know that you said Bridget McCrone has a penis or that Erica Kirk did this, that, or otherwise?
And YouTube's going to say, then we'll stop doing it.
All of a sudden, then the algorithm changes.
And the only YouTube channels you get are the ones that YouTube signs exclusive contracts with.
You'll still be allowed to upload to YouTube.
It just will be nothing.
You will never be suggested or recommended.
That story you're talking about, the nine-year-old whose parents sued YouTube and Facebook and won $36 million.
Yes, this just happened the other day.
I think personally, that's a garbage case that'll get escalated and thrown out because, firstly, it's some weird California court.
And then secondly.
New Mexico did it too.
So it's, it's, look, if your kid cuts himself on a knife, that's not the knife company's fault.
The parents should not allow a nine-year-old on the freaking internet.
That is a parent's fault.
I agree.
And so potentially they'll also ban under 18s from the internet.
Australia banned under 16s.
Or parental supervision allowing their children on the internet.
How do you mean?
Government IDs required.
How do you mean?
X rolled out region blocking.
Do you guys see this?
Why do we need government IDs if we can't even, we don't even need them to vote?
Well, that's...
That's a whole other story.
It's not going to be the liberals' argument.
It's going to be the rights argument.
But so what you're saying is independent journalism is going to go away.
It will exist in some form, but it'll be the way it used to be in that you will produce a piece of media and then beg the big corporations to run it.
So then pirate radio.
Yeah.
Like mesh networking.
How long do you think it will take before that actually happens?
Well, I do think we're largely already in this space.
Just the fact that you've got a handful of people who break YouTube's rules to a great degree and YouTube still promotes them shows editorial selection.
Candace?
Her among others, right?
I'm surprised because we've had videos taken down for much less.
And I've said stuff on my personal channel and beyond where your normal guy might get it taken down, but the way I said it, they're like.
Oh, but Meta's the worst.
They've censored me for months at a time.
They're the worst.
And then you have no one to talk to because you're talking to AI.
I typed about George Floyd being on like amphetamines and what his thoughts are.
And I got blacklisted on Facebook.
Oh, TikTok too.
TikTok's.
Well, TikTok's changing.
Yeah.
Because it was bought by the Ellison.
Ellison.
So I can tell you for a fact that behind the scenes at TikTok, their editorial drive has flipped entirely.
Realistically, you don't want a giant corporation controlling your media network anyway.
No, you don't, but they're so threatened by independent media that that's probably why they're doing this.
Very likely.
Who's watching mainstream media?
Nobody.
Exactly.
But I'm telling you, I already know where this is going because I'm talking to these companies even right now.
And the plan is, it was described to me this way.
In the future, there are going to be three big subscription services.
And the only thing people consume are going to be through these services.
YouTube will probably be one of them.
Then you've got Peacock or CBS.
And, you know, so it's going to...
Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate.
Right.
So look at CBS.
If CBS buys Warner Brothers, they own CNN.
So that puts everything under the Paramount Plus brand.
So you're going to have potentially Peacock.
You're going to have three to five big networks.
You're going to download the app.
You're going to pay your subscription fee of $10.99 or $19.99 per month.
And you're not going to watch YouTube anymore.
So the way I liken it is $1999.
You'll just be able to do whatever you want.
No, you're going to be like, oh, turn on Netflix.
Turn on YouTube.
1999.
Anybody could download any song they wanted.
It destroyed the music industry.
And then they wrapped it back up and created streaming services.
Then you had mega upload.
Did you guys see the Supreme Court ruling now on mega upload?
No.
No.
They explicitly, this is hilarious, poorkim.com, that I'll give you the quick gist, that secondary copyright infringement from users is not the fault of the service platform, which is what they rated and shut down Mega Upload for.
So in the 2000s, you get mega upload.
Now movies are free.
So what do they do?
They shut it down.
And now you have Amazon.
Now you have YouTube where political commentary and social discourse has been running like crazy for the past 10 years.
They're going to shut it down and they're going to stick it back on the front page of their streaming services.
Everything will be through the official mainstream channels.
If you want to listen to a song, how do you get it?
Apple Music or Spotify.
If you want to watch it, generation follow 100%.
I mean, they love their apps here and there.
They love their music.
And when they go home, it's going to be a TV screen where they're going to have three apps and they're going to be like, what's on Paramount?
And they're going to open up Paramount and they're going to be like, oh, I love watching real time with Ian Crossland.
Ilmar 70.
There'll be both.
That's for like pleb action.
There'll be hot pleb action and three big networks.
And then everyone else will have their code.
Like you'll be able to go into Rumble, systems like Free Systems where you can interoperate and send each other crypto.
Rumble.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We have Rumble Wallet.
No, no, no, listen.
Rumble already largely has their front page.
We're on the front page of Rumble right now as one of their premiere shows.
We could do everything is going in this direction.
One of my companies is building decentralized software where you can upload your video to like a Rumble server and then everyone else that has that software can see your content and it's kind of like its own network.
Ian, understand.
You can technically build that into a browser.
You can listen to any song you want right now on Apple or Spotify, right?
But when you open the app.
Not rolling Orzabal stuff, unfortunately.
Tommy needs to be streaming outside.
I want to.
So when you open Apple and the list you get of available, I go to my Tesla and I go to the music and it tells me what to listen to.
And when I play it, what am I going to get?
Sabrina Carpenter a weekend?
You're not going to get Ian Crossland.
You're not going to get all that remains.
You might get all that remains if you pick a metal channel somewhere further down.
That's true.
Timcast is available on the, if you go on Tesla, you can listen to what you guys did.
If you go to Tesla and go to the music and type in Timcast, my songs are there.
But they will never promote them.
The algorithm is promoting it to me because it knows that I click on IRL, so I get your music.
Yeah, I got it.
And that's going to go away.
It's going away.
Well, if we get rid of an algorithm completely, you're saying everything is just time.
Because YouTube is legally liable for what their algorithm does.
They are going to say no more algorithms.
So they're not going to feed new viewers out there and make you grow.
Right?
So essentially, your followers have to hear you.
You can upload your songs to Spotify.
Spotify is never going to put it on rotation.
And they say, What do you mean?
You have your free speech.
Your song's right there.
Just no one ever heard of you.
It's not our fault.
Yeah, well, I started doing YouTube.
Hold on, that ban.
They would literally pick a video and put it on.
Indeed, that ban you just signed, you signed a ban and you put them in your rotation.
And they're going to say, That's right, because it's ours.
And that's what's going to happen.
YouTube will still have podcasts.
Jimmy Doerr will still be on YouTube, but YouTube is going to say he will never be in our roads.
I think if you do an algorithm other than you know, time algorithms, like whatever's the most recent thing is what's in front of you, if it's an open algorithm and it's government-approved, like the people, we, the people, are like, that's a reasonable algorithm that we could use that.
Who's going to check the algorithm to decide if it's reasonable?
But hold on, hold on, hold on.
Okay, guys.
I didn't say, listen.
Is it possible?
I said, I'm not going to do that.
I am telling you right now, YouTube is liable for their algorithm for any perceived damages.
There is only one way around that.
No algorithm.
Yeah, but what does that mean?
There's still an algorithm.
No.
If it's just like time-based, you know, whatever you want to call that?
No.
Still technically an algorithm.
Is it just like the most recent thing is what you see?
No.
Then what do you see when youTube editorially signs contracts with big channels and puts them on the front page like the New York Times puts articles?
It's the same thing.
If there's any feeds, you're getting rid of feeds completely.
Yes.
I don't do.
Why would you do that?
That's like, why would you do that?
To control the narrative and make everybody believe what you want them to believe.
That's not the idea.
Because most people don't.
Yes, it is.
That's what for YouTube it is.
They're getting rid of independent journalism.
That's what's the point.
The big investors in the government.
You think the Ellisons bought CBS for fun?
No, I know why.
Why did they buy it?
Why did they buy TikTok?
The government is trying to control people's minds so that they can make you eat paste and shut up.
So why would they let people speak freely when the precedent set now is you are legally liable?
They have every opportunity.
You be free.
That's not what the world is about.
What does that have to do with powerful elites trying to shut you out?
That don't bow down and acquiesce at the first sign with them giving you a lot of people.
That has to do with it.
What does what have to do with it?
You may want a lot of things, Ian.
It doesn't matter if the people who own those things won't give them to you.
You're making it, you're not making the distinction between is and ought, right?
So you're talking about the way things ought to be, the way you think things ought to be.
But what you're dealing with when it comes to the scenario that Tim's talking about is the way that it is.
If no changes happen, that is the path we are on.
Yes.
But changes will and can happen.
And those changes that are happening right now is, as I stated, you used to be able to download any song you wanted.
What happened, Ian?
They commutized it.
Yeah.
Now you have to do it.
They sued people.
They criminally charged people.
And then they pushed all of digital music into a single system where they decide what you listen to.
That's why when Carter and I had songs that should have charted on a billboard, they lied to us and didn't count it.
The whole week when we had together again for sale, what did we add?
30,000 sales in one week?
6.4 million views on YouTube, right?
40 something,000.
40,000.
So what you're saying is that we're going to be talking about it.
So hold on, we had 40,000 sales of our song.
I'm number one on the 200.
It's such a good song.
You thought we were going to be number one?
If they would have counted all that, yes.
Instead, they told us during the week where we were selling.
We said, it was our Kawara, seventh release.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And honestly, dude, we pushed iTunes for pre-sales and got like 2,500 and still got like six on the charts.
And so we said, this is our seventh release.
We keep getting mistakes on billboard charting.
For some reason, tell us what to do.
They said, here's what you need to do.
We even paid for a service for Illuminate.
And they said, here's what you do.
And I said, okay, we are putting the song up.
We are going to do what you tell us to do.
We are going to sell the song.
The Daily Wire helped promote it because it was a cover of Jeremy Boring's song with Michael Knowles.
The song releases selling like hotcakes.
So we know with the data in the back end, we're tracking really well to massively storm the charts.
We reach out to all involved, three different companies.
Is this the right way to do it?
And they said, yes, everything looks good.
When the week ended, they did not count our sales and we got ninth place in sales.
And we said, hold on.
We had something like 40,000 singles sold, making us like the number one single for the week.
And they said, we don't count your singles.
And we said, why?
Because the machine controls what you are allowed to hear.
And Carter Banks and Timpool are not allowed to be rock stars on the billboard.
It doesn't control what you can hear.
We got something like that.
We got something like 15 million streams or whatever on that song.
Oh, yeah.
It's very much like the Oscars.
No, they're not going to put me in the Oscars.
Even if I do the best movie on Earth and it wins.
Exactly.
The thing is, they know what I'm going to rule.
Exactly.
The point.
They changed the rules.
And bro, bro, here's the funny thing.
Because of us, didn't they change the rules again?
Like three times?
I guess we got kicked off Bandcamp.
There's like three services you can use to sell digital downloads that they will accept.
And Bandcamp was one of them.
We had to create a band Zoogle.
We got banned from Bandcamp because we were because like the machine only allows the people they choose to speak.
And that was during the Biden administration.
We were talking really critical about the people.
And the machine is now going to continue to control independent journalists.
And what you're saying is we've had a good run.
Well, there's still going to be, as there always is, independent musicians.
They'll make okay money.
Independent media will exist.
You will find ways to the cracks, but it's largely going to be solidified.
Right.
Short films sometimes make it.
But usually if you're not on Amazon, I mean, how is everyone going to find your film?
They're not going to know.
Yeah.
So there will be some virality engines through, say, X.
But in the dawn of Facebook and Twitter, virality engines were massive.
You could make a video and it would go viral.
There was no control over what people were able to push up and see.
This is how 4chan was able to do a bunch of operations.
They've shut that down.
Facebook has banned everybody and there's no more virality.
It is gone.
I don't know if people remember this, but in the 2000s, in the early 2010s, you could film a video and it would end up on Reddit, hit the front page, and before you knew it, you had millions of views.
Yeah, yeah, that's how we promoted minds.
That's how it's gone.
With Facebook marketing, it's gone.
It's not marketing, man.
That never happens anymore.
It's gone.
Reddit would ban you if they found out you were doing it.
They would try and stop you, but you're not doing it.
I'm not talking about doing anything.
I'm saying people could post your content and it would go viral.
No longer does this happen.
If they knew that I was the one posting it, they would stop it.
That was the rule.
You're allowed to post your own content.
Yeah, but you're not uploading it.
I would still delete it for some reason.
Speaking of virality, did you mention that Elon Musk responded to you?
Yeah, someone, Kettlebell Dan, said we should set it so that you can charge people to DM you and a set amount.
And I agree.
And then I said, I agree.
Let's do it.
Elon.
He said, okay.
Yeah.
So the idea is that, so right now, I'll put it like this.
My DMs are closed.
Nobody can DM me because otherwise with 2.5 million followers.
It would be impossible.
However, there are some circumstances where I have no problem with anyone DMing me.
So right now it's closed to only people that I follow and know can DM me.
Imagine if he opened it up that said, if you would like to DM this person, it costs $20.
Now, some might say, and they did, that's BS.
Why should I give you money to try and talk to you?
Well, because I don't want 7,000 messages per hour.
My mentions are already unreadable.
But if someone truly wants to get through and they do $20, that dramatically reduces spam.
It eliminates bots.
It gives me an incentive to actually read these messages, a way to monetize the platform for high-profile creators.
And if people are truly serious and have something important to say they're willing to spend 20 bucks on, then they will.
Listen, no one.
Exactly.
Look, I agree with you.
I had an experience on Alaska Airlines not too long ago, and I wanted to try to send an email to one of their executives.
Every single email I found bounced back because they only want you to deal with their AI bots online or their customer service if you can get through to them.
So, like you said, to your point, if somebody wants to talk to you and you have what, how many, 2 million followers?
2.5.
Congratulations.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not putting my DMs.
I would get 10,000 messages every hour or more, probably more than that.
My mentions are already just unreadable.
I click mention and it's just a feed flying like crazy.
Yeah, you can't get it.
Not happening.
And then don't get me started on when I start trending for whatever reason, if people are talking about me or I do something controversial.
But there's with Cameo and similar services, not only with Cameo, can you offer to pay someone for a shout out, you can also set it so that they can send you messages, business deals, or requests for money.
I wonder if X will take a percentage or just keep it free, keep it completely free.
It's a free money guy.
It'll be free.
It's a 30%.
I don't think it's fine.
It'll be free.
You know why it'll be free?
Why?
Because Elon needs a machine to get people to use X money.
Yeah, I was just going to say because of X money.
He wants to roll out X money where you can use the X app to buy.
I'm a funny music video.
How does he get people to universally adopt this?
High-profile individuals with a monetary incentive to have money in their X accounts, which they will then be like, I can use X money.
I got 60 bucks because I got a bunch of messages.
Regular people will then have a reason to load money onto their X account to then DM people.
It's a brilliant play.
I hope he does it.
Part of the future of independent journalism for sure.
That's how independent journals will stay alive and stay eating.
Well, now even the monetization, I know back in the day, like with EU, you could make like $10,000 a month on X.
I don't even think that's the case anymore.
Well, I did.
Do you see Libs of TikTok?
TikTok actually, did you see Libs of TikTok?
I get like $7K a month.
Yeah, there was a, there was a, I saw what you're talking about, the $10,000?
That happened to me actually happening.
What is that?
I don't know.
I have a significantly.
It's premium.
It's gold check.
Okay.
So the X gold check, everybody, like a lot of hyper for us, it was like $20,000 a year.
And we stopped because they don't do anything for you.
It's basically like, hey, if you give us $10,000, we'll give you gold check and $10,000 in ads.
Well, the first thing that happened was I wanted the Timcast, my personal at Timcast to be the principal account.
And they told me no because it was personal, despite the fact a ton of people got their personal accounts verified.
Yeah.
Gold check.
So we did it for Timcast News.
Here's what happened.
One day I get a text message from my bank saying, did you just spend 20 grand on premium business?
That's all it said was premium business.
And I said, what the fuck is that?
No.
So I go and I ask, you know, our like admins, what's this credit card bill for 20 grand?
No idea.
Pull it up.
We go and look at the statement and it says premium business 20 grand.
And we're like, yeah, okay, this looks like a scam.
So I call my bank and I say, we can't identify this purchase.
It's $20,000.
And they were like, okay, then we're going to block it.
Three days later, gold check removed.
Everybody loses verification.
And we went, ah, that's what that was.
It was the yearly.
And then I said, well, hold on a minute.
Hold on a minute.
Why is it $20,000?
And then we went through it and it's something like, if you have a business account, for every person you add to your account, it's like $100.
And then I said, guys, it's like $10 to get your own blue check.
I'm not spending $100 a person when it's $10 a person.
So we told them, yeah, we're not interested anymore.
Apparently, libs of TikTok's the same thing and they charged them anyway.
Well, that's what she was saying.
That's they were posting.
They're like, I just got a $10,000 bill.
Can somebody help me?
And I'm like, what is this?
I had no idea what that was.
Did you know?
Yes, it's premium business.
It's purely cosmetic.
You get it.
Well, here's the thing.
You get a golden check mark.
You can then add people to your account who get your little badge.
And it's like $100 a person.
So for us, it was $20,000 a year, which is like $2,000 a month.
It's crazy.
It's like a little bit less.
But you get preferred access to the people at X.
So it is valuable because like you were saying with Facebook, it's all bots.
With premium business, you call a person on the phone and they fix problems for you.
So it does have that value.
The only thing is, I said I'll just buy premium personally for myself for 30 bucks a month or whatever.
And how often are you calling them?
Never.
Never.
Exactly.
But I do hope that Elon creates something.
So you do get 10,000 free ad credits and we use them.
We did.
I just ultimately said, I don't know that we have enough of a marketing campaign on X for it to make it worth it.
For a big brand, it does make a lot of sense because you're just going to promote your brand using X platform, which works.
But we don't really run ads that much on X, which we could.
So, you know, it's valuable if you're selling pizza and you have like a big restaurant chain.
But for us, didn't quite make sense.
I wonder if you could add functionality to the gold check mark itself.
Like if I click on it, it takes me to a list of all the people that are in that organization.
I think it does do that.
Some online analytics.
I think it does do that.
I've like never checked on a gold check mark.
Yeah.
But you'll notice you see the badge next to someone's name.
They'll say like Timcast.
Yeah, yeah.
And then click it.
That's gold.
No.
No.
Next to one of their affiliates' names will be their company's profile.
Does everyone in the org get access to the call then?
You pay for other people to the company?
Yeah, I mean, it's better the way it's, it's better than how they used to do it when it was run by the, by the FBI.
Yeah.
I'm saying like if there were, if you had like 20 people you were paying for $100 each for the month, could any of those 20 people call helpline?
Oh, okay.
So it opens up to the employee network.
Well, it's whatever you as the boss of your company spending the money.
It's whoever you want to give the phone number to.
So I could be like, hey, Phil, I need you to call X.
Here's the number.
This is the problem, which wouldn't make sense to give Phil the number, but he could call me if he wanted to.
By the way, guys, Nick Shirley just spoke at CPAC, and people are praising him, saying he delivered a historic speech.
Amazing.
I don't know.
I haven't legend.
Yeah, there's like a bit of a little clip, but I'm not going to play it.
You can play.
You can find it.
We need more Nick Shirley's.
We need more Nate Friedman's.
We need more Cam Higby's.
Oh, Nick, can we talk about Nick Friedman?
He's doing an amazing job.
Nate Friedman.
Sorry.
I know.
He's doing an incredible job.
Yeah.
And it's, and, you know, Nick Shirley's really taking the spotlight.
You got these three young guys all popping up doing this ground, this on-the-ground journalism.
Nick Shirley just skyrocketed to the moon, but let's not forget these other guys are doing great work on the ground.
I'm an old man.
I can't.
No, no, no.
I was going to say, and you know who opened the doors for them?
It was people like you.
I want people to know how journalism is.
You grind.
Okay.
I've spent so many years, you know, when you're in local news, you're grinding day in, day out.
And even what you do now, Tim, it's remarkable.
The fact that you can go on air and you can speak for three hours.
I think people think that's easy.
It's not easy.
Well, I know, but still, like, you got to have the topic.
I've been doing it for decades.
But there's preparation that goes into it.
It's not like you're not reading.
You're not constantly educating yourself.
It's a lot of work.
It's not like a regular job where you're like, you know what, today I'm going to go wash the dishes and I'm just not going to use my brain.
That's not how this works.
I spent years in media.
Like even when I did a morning show, I would go in at like I'd be on air by 4.30 and then I'd be on until 1 p.m.
That's a lot of airtime and that's a lot of work and you have to be prepared.
You have to know what you're talking about.
The longest I've ever gone, it was during Occupy.
I was live for 21 hours.
You were live the entire time?
Yeah, 21 hours.
People were bringing me batteries because my phone was dying.
And then at one point, I had no battery.
So there was a guy who, this guy, Justin, had a laptop in his backpack.
So I plugged my phone into his laptop and ran alongside him to get a trickle charge off his laptop.
And then people went to this old tech store that doesn't exist anymore called JNR and bought these big energizer batteries and then would run them to me and they would have like 70%.
I'd plug in my phone to keep it going.
21 hours straight.
Did you go to the bathroom?
Yes.
What did you do with the recording?
Handed the phone to somebody, ran in the bathroom, ran out.
And then it got to the point where I was so exhausted and malnourished, I couldn't open my hand anymore.
Oh, like potassium or something.
Yep.
It was raining.
And I was like, I can't open my hand.
It's cramped.
It's locked.
I'm dehydrated.
I need a banana.
And then someone ran and brought me a naked juice and I slammed it and I was like, let's go.
But you also have the gift of gab.
Okay.
Not everybody can speak for 21 hours.
Yeah.
Where'd you get that gift from?
Your mom or your dad?
The strategy is.
No, but really, no, you're not.
The strategy is: here's the trick: when you're streaming online, it's easy to talk forever because there's a chat feed constantly going.
So when you're walking down the street, if there's nothing to talk about, you just say, let's go to the chat and see what they're saying.
And then you start reading part of Tim's thing is he's got a really, really remarkable memory.
Oh, he can just recall things.
He'll sit there and list off poker hands that he was playing two days ago or last weekend.
I can tell you a poker hand I played three years ago.
Yeah, so that's a real, real good edge.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't want to like, you know, like shoot it up your, you know, whatever, but good job, man.
Yeah, no.
That's right.
I just want people to know.
He has no control over his memory.
That's not shooting it up as much, you know?
As we're crediting these young, up-and-coming journalists, I just want people to know that there are people like, you know, Tim who set the tone, you know, back in the day.
You know what the trick is?
It's video games.
I am not age.
I have a good memory because of one video game.
Which one?
Which one?
Ian, you might be able to make a guess.
Based on my age, what game would I have played when I was young that would be good for my memory?
I'll give you.
God.
I mean, my guess is because Chrono Trigger, but it's not Mahjong.
I don't think.
No.
And I was.
I am 40 years old.
Mario Bros.
I'm just kidding.
Yes.
Which one?
Super Mario.
Which one?
Because I used to.
I'm not in for it.
This is a very easy one.
Chat.
Can you figure out which game I'm talking about?
Super Mario World.
You are all uncultured heathens.
It's Super Mario 3.
Super Mario 3.
Do you know why?
Why?
Because they have a memory game as a bonus in Mario.
So in Mario 3, if you beat certain levels with a certain time or coin amount, you will get, I think it's called the N card.
Dude.
And when you go to it, you will then get a game of memory where if you can match without making, I think, what is it, two errors, you will get the items.
And so every time I'm playing that game, not only did I have to memorize where the star was, here's what else I memorized.
There were only, I think, four different memory games.
And so, based on where the first, there's like the top left corner is a 10 coin.
Then you go down to the bottom and write one as a 10 coin.
And if I saw that, I instantly knew the entire thing.
Is it Super Nintendo or Nintendo?
Yes.
Okay, NES.
Yeah.
How about this one for you, Ian?
Have you played?
Memory?
Memory for your kids.
If you guys have, that's the game we played all the time growing up, like a lot, not all the time.
And guess who?
But memory, dude.
Here you go.
Memory for your kids.
B-A-B-A, up, down, B-A, left, right, B-A start.
Okay.
Teenage Ninja Turtles 2 level select code.
Try it.
I'm not wrong.
Oh, I don't know if I ever used that code.
It gives you nine lives.
It gives you nine extra lives because you also have zero and you can choose any stage you want.
Read a lot of books as a kid?
Nope.
Just Harry Potter.
Oh.
Yeah.
And Still Life with Woodpecker.
Still Life with Woodpecker.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Do you remember the orange gun?
The orange gun?
The zapper?
Yes.
Ours was great.
Super Nintendo.
Oh, yeah.
The early one was great.
Yeah, the early one was.
Was it orange?
Right?
It was orange, right?
There was an orange one.
Orange one.
Yeah.
Mine was gray.
Still life with who?
Woodpecker.
This was the one.
He made it orange because it didn't read all the Harry Potter books when I was a little kid.
All seven of them.
Bro, it was an experience.
I remember, like, I remember being, I think I was 18 years old, and I was reading a social media post on Live Journal from a friend.
And they said, Can you believe that by the time the last book comes out, we'll be 21 years old?
And you were like, wow.
Wait, there, there was no social media back then.
Yeah, Live Journal, UJour.
Live Journal.
Oh, yeah.
When I was 18, we had friends there in MySpace.
Yeah, MySpace.
Remember?
Oh, MySpace.
I used UJournal.
I used MySpace.
That was how I started on YouTube because I wanted to send my friends my videos.
I'm like, I'm having these ideas about breaking through fear and being open and like communication with people.
And then so I'd embed them in MySpace and mail them.
And then people just started responding on YouTube.
I'm like, I guess there's a market for that.
Remember when MySpace was like a chat thing and then it became a music channel?
Yeah, and then like Timberlake bought it.
Is that it was the best?
Yeah.
It's a bummer they did that, by the way, because they erased the database and everything.
The whole thing, yeah.
Yeah, I try to find my stuff.
It's totally gone.
Yeah, it's all gone.
Yeah, we had the first, so I was on UJournal and Live Journal.
And then the first actual social network was actually before this, we all had a GeoCities.
Did you guys have a GeoCities?
I made one.
I built Code S.
And I had a peanut butter, Jellyman, GIF.
You know, and then I had Hulk.
No, I had Macho Man, Randy Savage, GIF.
And then you'd embed an MP3, and we all had these little GeoCities websites.
And then people started using UJournal and Live Journal because you could post and you didn't need to build it.
Then Friendster came out.
My friend was like, Are you on Friendster?
I was like, what is it?
I was like, you put a picture and you make a profile.
Then MySpace came out and went to MySpace.
Then Facebook came out and we were like, I'm not moving.
But then MySpace started getting cluttered with stupid CSS and then HTML.
Well, no, no, no.
Well, well before they shut it down.
It ground to a halt.
In like 2006, end of 2006, MySpace got overloaded because it was so popular and they couldn't, it was before you could have virtual couldn't control the servers and it ground the site to a halt for like a month.
And everybody's on YouTube, a lot of YouTubers like this fucking sucks because everybody's using MySpace graphic designer.
Stopped to make like really high-level like the top banner.
They were like my band and stuff.
It was awesome, but it was a victim of its own success.
And then it ground it.
What MySpace?
Yeah, and then Facebook appeared and everyone jumped shit.
I think a big part of the problem with MySpace was how crazy people's MySpace pages were.
It would cost, it would take forever to load.
It just got so out of hand that they become unfunctional.
I'm really happy I didn't have social media growing up.
Like really, like in high school and all that stuff, because I see what's going on now, just the competition and you're competing for clicks and you're competing for fashion.
It's not reality.
Well, what about what Nick Shirley's doing?
Not to not to, like, there, maybe it's a double-edged sword because I think you're right about a lot of it.
I think it's a little bit different.
He's doing journalism and journalism that's being promoted.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a little bit different than being like, look at me, look at what I'm wearing, and I'm so hot and I'm so popular and I got 10,000 clicks here.
It's Jif, by the way.
And he's not under 18.
Not GIF.
It's Jif.
JIF.
The inventor of the GIF said it's the GIF.
The GIF.
And it was meant to be a reference to the speed at which you are watching the video.
And it is JIF.
Okay, I'm okay.
I can't challenge it right now, Tim.
I'm not fighting for it.
People are bringing up in the comments saying it's not GIF, it's GIF.
And there was a viral video a while ago where there was like, oh, because GI is Joe, like my golden retriever.
Like, what are you talking about?
And then I was like, what?
Like my giant or magic?
Like, what are you talking about?
GI makes just sound.
JIF, JIF.
Have a nice day.
Like the peanut butter.
Yeah.
Or like a magic giant.
It's not a GIF.
A gigantic magic giant.
Because G can't make a just sound.
You start giving people gifts for Halloween and for Christmas.
I do love the word gigantic, by the way, because it's like got two Gs, but it's gigantic.
And you're like, gigantic.
Oh, that's true.
It's got gigantic.
Magic gaiant.
Gigantic.
Yeah.
Gifts.
All right, Tim.
It seemed like we were talking about how great you are and how you inspired the youth to keep doing it.
No one asked me.
I don't want to talk about how good I am right now, you guys.
Do they have questions for him?
If you like rile them up, what's that?
Do they have questions for him?
For Tim?
Yeah.
How great it was?
We got about a half hour of questions, actually.
Yeah, we've got super chats coming up and rumble rants.
We're going to see what people are doing.
Indeed, but we do have other big news to get to.
And this one's from ESPN.
Transgender women banned from the Olympics.
I would, you know, I'm going to fix this right now for you guys.
So let's do this.
I'm going to teach you guys a lesson right here.
So here we are on ESPN.com.
I'm going to go right here.
See this?
See this right here?
I'm going to right-click and go to Inspect.
This pops up right here.
And then we're going to double click this and I'm just going to go right here.
Check this out.
I'm going to go backspace and get rid of that.
And then I'm going to type M-E-N and press enter.
Did you just change it?
There you go.
Now the website says men banned from Olympia.
It's not on the bottom.
Let me put it on there.
Okay.
I got to fix it again because men banned from women's.
There you go.
Fix it for you, ESPN.
Men are banned from the women's Olympics by new IOC policy.
That's it.
Apparently a new woman is now in charge and she was just like, yeah, we don't want dudes.
And then it was funny on Fox.
They were like, I guess it takes a woman to come in and fix this stuff.
I mean, it's about time.
Why did it take this long?
Because the conspiracy is the men who are in charge are trying to eliminate women's sports.
Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
And so they were like, how do we do it?
Let's go ahead and play in women's sports.
But invade all women's spaces.
Like in California, you can be a man and go into a woman's bathroom and just say, I identify as.
Like my kids, two of my daughters, they play soccer and they're young.
And there's boys that play on other teams.
The last thing that I want to see is a man playing women's volleyball, period, because I enjoy women's volleyball.
I don't want to watch men playing women's volleyball.
No, but I'm saying, like, listen, genetically, obviously, I don't need to tell you this.
Men are built differently.
Women, like, look, my daughter's been playing since she was like, what?
My oldest has been playing soccer since she was five years old.
She's now nine years old.
And, you know, there have been times where they've played soccer and there's a boy on the team.
That boy gave a girl a bloody nose by, yes, yes.
But if that boy identifies as a girl, you can't do anything about it.
The strongest woman is weaker than the average man.
That is a scientific fact.
On the highest end of strength charts, these four women, they're still below the average man.
Just for perspective, in the 80s, in the 90s, when I was growing up, if I was like 12 and there was a boy on the girls' team, everyone would have talked about it for months and months and months in how horrible it was.
And all the parents would be freaking out about it.
That boy would get beaten up.
He would have been all sorts of the target of a bunch of stuff.
And like now the internet, it's like there's little corners where like, no, it's normal.
And so all you do is look in the right corner and get mesmerized by the right idea.
No, it's like, don't believe your lying eyes.
And you know how many women, like Riley Gaines, like a lot of women got heat from coming out publicly and saying, yo, this is a woman's space.
Get out of our spaces.
There's a lot of women who put their lives on the line, really, if you think about it, their careers and everything.
But again, to your point, it's like, don't believe your lying eyes.
Like you're not seeing what you're seeing.
Of course, the boys are going to play better than the woman, especially in Olympics.
So I'm really glad that they actually made this decision.
This transhuman ideology is very, they say it's tied to the trans sex, like the trans movement of people that believe they're trans, like men transitioning to women.
And do you?
Like, I'm not saying like, do you?
But if you're going to pretend to be a fantasy creature in a transhuman reality where your brain is asleep and you're a robot carrot, okay, it's fun, but it's still like, you're still you when you get out of it, like whatever.
You don't have to define yourself every second of the day.
Right.
But even if you have people in the trans community who say like, this is wrong, but their voices haven't been amplified except for who, Caitlin Jenner?
There's a ton of trans people.
Right, but I'm saying it's like right, but it was a bunch.
Yeah, but their voices are not.
Right.
Their voices aren't amplified.
I disagree.
I think Blair White's pretty famous.
No, no, I'm talking in mainstream media.
You don't have a lot of people.
Caitlin Jenner is only on Fox.
Caitlin Jenner was the big in the Caitlin Jenner's big.
Do you know the Caitlin Jenner quote after getting the facial reconstruction?
What?
My God, what have I done?
Really?
Yeah, something like that.
Like regretting it?
Well, that's how it sounds.
If people don't know the story, Caitlin Jenner used to be Bruce Jenner.
It's Kim Kardashian's father.
Stepfather.
Her mother married Bruce after he was like an Olympic athlete, gold medalist, maybe.
And now he's Caitlin Jenner.
I haven't talked to him, but he'd be a good interview.
Yeah, just there was a, there's a, there's a viral video going around of this transgender lawyer screaming at a judge and then getting arrested.
And this transgender, female to male, screams, get me a female officer.
I want to, I want a female cop.
Why?
Men don't get to request female officers.
What are you talking about?
No, I used to pretend I was Wonder Woman when I was little.
If my parents had been crazy, they might have been like, you're a girl.
You've done something horrible to me if they were afraid, but they didn't live out of fear.
They were like, you're creative and will be an actor.
I played women on stage.
It was fun.
It's like that family guy joke where they were talking.
It's the Twinkie the Kid documentary where they were like, you know, he used to play Wonder Woman and he's got the lasso of truth.
And then they're like, we put a stop to that.
He was different enough.
Yeah, you know, and that's the crossroads of like, what's the difference here?
Is it that he's actually a girl or that he's creative and wants to, you know, Twinkie the Kid versus a cowboy persona.
It was also a delicious cream-filled snack cake.
Exactly.
I played so many characters.
That girl reminded me of my mom.
My mom's awesome.
I was like.
See, here's the thing, though.
Back in the day, I mean, like hundreds of years ago, you would not have known what your mom was doing.
Little boys would go and hang out with the dad, not the mom.
So in the morning, the daughters would go to the mom and they would do womenly things, and the boys would go to the dad and do manly things.
And then today, little boys are watching the TV and they're watching women.
And so they're watching drag queen stuff.
Exactly.
And that's what is imprinting on their psyche.
It does not make them women.
It does not make them women.
You also have a lot of parents who are like, my child is X, Y, and Z.
My child believes they're a mermaid.
And my child believes they're this and they're that.
And it's like, oh, they're just kids with an imagination.
Okay?
That's all the parents with munchouts and some proxy.
A lot of it is like the parents facilitating and creating momentum.
Oh, yeah.
And they think it's really cool.
I mean, I'm still wondering why Ronda Sandis hasn't arrested the family of Jazz Jennings.
It's like, do no harm.
Like, how much worse can this Jazz's life become?
Are you talking about jazz from like the reality show?
Yeah, like when the mother said that she wakes Jazz up in the middle of the night and threatens to shove a foreign object in her wound.
I think that's grounds for like 25 years in prison.
It's a conversation.
Oh, I love, I love playing this clip.
I'll grab it for you.
Please.
I mean, I've seen that show on.
I try not to complain about it a lot because I feel like that's not the solution.
Like to really help the kids, like be a good, positive person.
I love when you search for this.
It's my tweet from 2023.
And like, here we go.
You guys ready for this one?
You ready for it?
Ready to live in the night?
Here we go.
But with her, I'm worried about like her mental well-being and her dilation.
The minute she leaves my house, we have a dilation problem.
That is a concern.
When you don't have that watchful eye, they tend to go back to old patterns.
I have woken Jazz out of a dead sleep and taken the dilator and put the lubrication on it and said, Here, you take this and you put it in your vagina.
If not, I will.
But jazz is bad, even when I'm home once a day.
I will be so mad if she goes away in college and that thing seals up.
I will wring her neck.
Imagine.
Hold on, hold on.
I want to say about this.
This is a woman saying that I wake up my son in the middle of the night with a foreign object and say, Lubricate this and stick it in the surgical graft in your body.
She should go to jail.
And if you don't, I will.
And then she says, If she doesn't, I will wring her neck.
And this is in Florida.
And I'm wondering why Rhonda Sandis and the Florida government never put this woman in prison.
I think because she's being paid by a TV company to make this footage.
So if anything, the company could be on the line.
Like, if she just was doing social media and like, look, everyone, look what I'm doing to my child.
And at this point, Jazz was over 18 as well, which is, you know, so it's not a lot of people.
This is so, this is so weird to me.
You know, you know, Chloe Cole?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I've interviewed her before.
And even, yeah, she's amazing.
And even Chloe Cole has come out and been like, I made a mistake.
I made a total mistake.
And then you have all these doctors who lie to you.
They're, I don't know, you go to these mental doctors and they just check your, I don't, they shouldn't even exist at this point.
They should be like, you're a child.
You're not fully developed yet.
Come back in your maybe 20s and see if you want to cut off your boobs.
See what you want to do.
I mean, who was it?
Who else was it when they make a fake penis too?
Yeah, phalloplasty.
Yeah.
Like, have you seen what that looks like?
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
And then these people baloney.
But these people have to be on medication for the rest of their lives.
They say, like, I've interviewed somebody who said, I probably will die in like five years because they constantly have infections.
I mean, this is a big business.
I know now they've stopped doing some of these transitions all across the nation.
A lot of these hospitals have come out and said, we're not doing these transitions.
Hello.
You should have never been doing this.
No, I think it's an outgrowth of the reality TV psychosis that started with Big Brother in like 99 or 98 or 2000, whatever.
Like this girl, this mom who's like, that's so far psychotic about calling her son a girl, firstly, is like calling her son she.
Like that's level of psychosis is, look, I'm just saying a boy is not a girl.
A boy could be a trans girl, but a boy is not a girl.
So I have that on TV and is no, no, I was going to say, I've been called names for saying exactly that because men are telling me they are women.
They're trans women.
It's different than a woman.
Exactly.
They're men.
Yeah, they're men.
They're men.
They're men and they're trans women at the same time.
That can be called men.
And it's semantics after that.
I mean, can you have a baby?
Can a trans woman have a baby?
No.
That I know of.
Like for now.
No, it's impossible.
It's impossible.
Even with womb transplants, it's not possible.
It's like, why?
Well, they've done womb transplants for women.
And so they made the argument they could do that for men, but the problem is the structure of the man's body is, it's just not going to work.
I mean, they even put tampons in men's bathrooms in California.
This is insane.
Yeah.
It's insane.
That's when you said there's a foreign op.
Oh, I would take them.
I mean, they put them in the bathroom.
What you do is it's really fun.
You get it wet and you swing it around and launch them.
That's what we used to do when we were kids.
You take it, you dip it in the water, and then you can swim it and like throw it at people.
It's like a perfect, like, it's like a spitwatch.
But imagine how confusing it is for kids too in schools.
Like all of a sudden you had a friend that was, you know, the dudes were smashing them.
So there are a bunch of stories that they put tampons in the men's room and then the boys would destroy it and then run away.
Good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That part of it.
This is hilarious.
Yeah, man.
People believing.
Ah, wow.
Did you just tweet that she should be in prison?
She should be in prison.
Yeah, absolutely.
I tweet it every time it comes up on the show.
That's why it's like when I searched for it on X, it was my tweet from a couple years ago.
I think it's a foreign op.
I know you earlier were like, Candace is an op.
And I'm like, this is an op.
But like.
Yeah, China was like, castrate the American male and then they will destroy themselves.
That's, yeah, yeah.
It feels like a foreign op.
Whatever foreign means, like a corporate op.
Now everyone's having foreign means not from the United States.
It's not just Chinese.
It's a new baby boom.
It's not just China.
Can we talk about the Islamification of America?
Oh, that too.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, you have the Red-Green Alliance.
They join forces.
And then it's like, don't have babies, but we're going to have babies.
And we're going to have babies, like 10 babies, and then we're going to turn it into Sharia law.
And then you guys, gays for Palestine, whoever you are, queers for whoever, you're not having children.
So there's not going to be more, you know, many of us.
I just wrote a big piece about the Red-Green Alliance on my Patreon.
Yeah.
What is it?
It's the alliance of basically Islam, Islamists, and communists.
And communists, yeah.
So what happens is the communists and the Islamists gang up, get together, and they basically work against the right.
And then once the Islamists and communists take power, the Islamists slaughter the communists.
Well, yeah, because the Islamists are using the communists right now because what they're saying is, so, okay, so the, so let's explain it to people.
The communists are the red, right?
And the Islamists are the green.
Okay, so you have people like gays for Palestine, queers for Palestine, all those people.
And they're like, you have been rejected in your society because you're gay and all of this.
And so we're the Islamists here.
So our people in Gaza.
Our people in Gaza are dying.
And, you know, they're also, what's, I'm looking for the right word for this.
Anyway, so they're like, we're being slaughtered over here.
You guys are being mistreated.
We align forces.
So the Islamists are using the communists.
And then once they take power, they're going to get rid of the communists.
So the Islamists pointed people at the patriarchy in quotes.
I put that.
Is that that whole concept is like being promoted by Islamism?
You can listen to the way that Mamdani speaks.
Yes.
And there is a strong argument that Mamdani is a member of the Red Green Alliance, right?
He doesn't speak like he's an Islamist.
He speaks like he's a progressive, right?
But he's definitely very clearly Muslim.
I mean, look at the guys around his circle.
Look at how many Iftar events were just held in New York, like literally every single day.
But the things that he's doing, my good friend Jackie Tobarov just broke a story in New York City where they went to FDNY headquarters there.
They had an Iftar event and then they rolled out the mats in front of the 343 plaque.
The firefighters who were murdered on 9-11, who died on 9-11, rolled them up.
But why are you doing that?
Why are you doing that in our spaces?
So you have New Yorkers who are saying, holy cow, this is insane that this is happening.
And look at who he has around him.
He had Mahmoud Khalil.
He had Mahmoud Khalil.
He posted the picture of Mahmoud Khalil at Gracie Mansion just a day after the attack.
The ISIS-inspired attacks.
I was thinking about Tim and about, normally my mind doesn't wander when you were saying that he had people do something in the fire department.
They rolled up.
I was thinking about encouraging you to send in super chats and Rumble rants and talk about if Tim has helped you in life, what has he done to help you?
Let him know right now because the tonight's tonight.
I helped Ian once by striking him with his gavel.
Yeah.
And it snapped him out of his stupor.
I realized people can be evil.
I was like, Ian, he was like, yeah.
And I went, whack.
And he was like, what the hell, dude?
And I was like, you needed it.
Wait, how long have you guys known each other?
Oh, man, like seven or eight years ago.
I feel like the way that you guys talk to each other, I thought maybe 15.
I have never struck Ian with a hammer.
I am my cousin.
When we were little, I'd hear like my cousins and grandma and parents laughing in the other room and it sounds like Tim laughing in the other room.
So there might be some genetic similarity through the Irish.
I don't know, but I don't remember why I'm not coming.
Perhaps.
All right, everybody, we're going to go to your Rumble Rants and Super Chat.
So give that like button a little tap.
Click that like button and the uncensored show is coming up at rumble.com slash TimCast IRL at 10 o'clock.
Don't miss it.
But we have a great sponsor, guys.
It is Beam Dream.
Head over to shopbeam.com slash Tim Pool and pick up your Beam Dream nighttime blend to support better sleep.
I am not even playing games with you guys.
Wait till you see what I'm about to show you right here.
Let me see if I can pull this up right there.
This is my sleep score.
You see that?
96.
Let me go to Wednesday, 99.
Not a joke.
Here we go.
Tuesday, 99.
Not playing games.
Out of 100?
Monday.
That's what I'm wondering.
Out of 100.
Yes.
Okay.
My sleep.
I sleep like a baby.
I drink Beam Dream every single night.
You want to know why my Monday sleep score was only a 90?
Because I was out on Sunday and I didn't drink Beam Dream because we just got back from the airport.
But Monday night after the show, I have my Beam Dream.
It's got melatonin.
It's got magnesium.
It's got L-theonine.
It's got race in it.
Right after we leave the show, I go home, I heat up a cup of water, put the beam dream in it, a little bit of cream, makes it taste great.
Stir it up, drink it before bed, and my sleep score is massively improved.
I think it's a couple things.
I think magnesium.
I think I was not getting enough magnesium in my diet, and that's in Beam Dream, but also the hydration.
All the other stuff in it is really good.
Like they say L-theanine is good if you had caffeine during the day.
But I cannot tell you how big of a fan I am of this Beam Dream stuff.
Not to mention, it's just great to have a cup of hot cocoa before.
I like that because I take magnesium at night.
And when we were traveling, I was like, I forgot to bring some with me.
And I went to the store to find some, and it was like, you get all these supplements.
And I'm like, I don't want to buy all these things and mix them together.
So I am going to immediately after the show have a glass of this.
I recommend it.
You guys can get up to 40% off if you use code TimPool at shopbeam.com slash Tim Pool.
They got cinnamon cocoa.
They got brownie batter.
They got sea salt caramel, chocolate peanut butter.
The sea salt caramel is actually my favorite.
I was going for the cinnamon cocoa for a while, but the sea salt caramel is so good.
So again, I really do recommend it.
And proof right there, my sleep score has been amazing.
Drink generally coffee on the show.
I wonder if I should start drinking something like that.
If it's a little or it's still three or four hours before I go to bed, but it might be...
What do you think?
Advice from you?
You're the expert.
Should I drink it on the show or should I wait till I'm going to go?
I wait till after.
Like I'm drinking it about an hour before I go to bed.
Well, because it has melatonin, so you're going to get sleepy.
Well, I don't know.
Melatonin doesn't.
Oh, they have a version with no melatonin in it.
Oh, but it's good for, I mean, it just depends.
I don't know that I actually need the melatonin.
I think what's really benefited my sleep, because I can fall asleep.
Before I started drinking this, my sleep score was like 88 to 90, maybe 92 on good days.
And I think, really, I think the hydration plays a big role.
But I do think I was not getting enough magnesium.
One of the problems I had for a long time is I would get bad cramps.
So, you know, skateboarding.
Potassium.
I go to bed and no, it's magnesium.
Oh, the magnesium.
Yeah, not actually the potassium.
I thought it was potassium.
So I would like, okay, I'm going to eat potassium, but it wouldn't work.
It was magnesium.
And so now I have not had any bad leg cramps after skating.
So what's this app that you're using?
That's my eight-sleep bed.
It like measures your sleep and how well you're sleeping.
Oh.
And since I've been drinking Beam Dreams.
Also, my watch does it too.
Let's grab your Rumble Rance and Super Chats, my friends, now that we have thoroughly shouted out my favorite drink.
Same old man says, well, Tim, get ready to get drafted.
We all know if World War III happens, there will be a draft.
If the Dems were in control, they would have done it sooner.
I will never be drafted.
Why?
I am high net worth.
And you're too old?
No, no, they increased the age to 42, but they don't allow high net worth people to enlist because you are a security risk.
Or maybe because you contribute to the society, like you employ a lot of people.
To a certain degree, but the real issue is that if your commanding officer makes $70,000 a year and you're worth $50 million, you're going to be like, hey, why don't you come over to my house?
I got a pool.
Bring the kids.
We'll have filet mignon for dinner.
My chef is cooking it.
Just don't give me that assignment.
So if you have massive debt, you could compromise security.
And if you're ultra-wealthy, they're afraid that you will compromise chain of command.
Right.
If a draft gets instituted, everybody should get on call she and just order their burritos on call.
I mean, I'm sorry, honestly.
Did you see that meme where it was like prediction markets will replace everything?
It was a video and the guy's like, here's how it's going to work.
In the future, I need eggs, but I don't want to go to the store.
I could use Instacart and order the eggs, but I'd rather not.
So I open up Polymarket and I create a contract saying by two o'clock, there will be eggs on my porch.
And I'll put my address.
I will then buy a contract for no, it won't happen.
Someone will see that and they'll buy the contract for yes, it will happen.
Go buy eggs, put them on my porch, take a picture, win the $15, and then I just got eggs on my porch for $15.
There you go.
Nice.
Yeah, that's the funny joke.
Or you have drones just deliver them to your house.
You think Amazon's going to have drones soon to deliver sales?
They already do.
They very soon.
No, no, they already do.
I mean, masters.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Stop, stop, stop.
They said they already do.
They already do.
Where?
Not me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What state?
There was a story we covered a year ago where a guy shot an Amazon drone.
I know, but it's not like a thing thing.
It's not everywhere.
Right.
It depends on your proximity to an Amazon to a warehouse.
You know, the other day, I just ordered something and it was delivered within an hour.
Do you know if you could do that?
No, yeah.
Blew my mind.
I was like, whoa, Amazon's already here, but I'm talking about Walmart drone.
It could be like 15.
Was it a Walmart drone?
It was a Walmart delivery drone.
Yeah, see, it's not Amazon just yet.
I'm pretty sure they have them.
Florida Man shot down Walmart drone ordered to pay $5,000.
Walmart.
Yeah.
I'm talking about Amazon.
Amazon drone dude.
Yeah, I know.
I'm pretty sure they have them.
When Amazon masters stratospheric drone delivery, we're going to be able to, you'll live anywhere on the planet, ideally, even a deep out at sea, and you'll be able to order anything and get it within like, who knows, an hour, six hours.
But it doesn't.
Amazon does do drone delivery through Prime Air.
They use MK30 drones to deliver small packs up to five pounds within seven and a half to eight mile radius of their fulfillment centers.
Prime Air locations that are notable are at Toleson, West Phoenix, San Antonio, Kansas City, Hazel Park in Detroit, Ruskin, Florida, and College Station, Texas.
Mother ships that are like big, big balloon things that fly around just all those service cities and stuff.
And then they'll floating Amazon service centers carrying all the boxes at once and they just drop them like Santa Claus into your chimney.
They have a lot of stuff in it, though.
And then people will get fake.
They're not really chimneys.
They're delivery ports that have hatches.
And it drops the box that goes into the hatch, which then closes and it lands in your living room.
It's like Santa Claus every day.
Exactly.
So you wouldn't keep the stuff on board the blimp.
You would have those that would fly out.
They'd go to the center, get the items, and then bring them and then come back to the ship.
No, the ship would carry everything.
That would be a heavy and valuable ship.
That's the problem with it.
All right, let's see what else you got, guys, got going on.
AK Storm says, shout out to C.S. Cooper for releasing his first game going viral on Steam.
$5 to help a non-woke, independent game developer support good culture if you can build it.
We got a couple of video games we're making.
Congratulations.
So we've been sitting on NormiQuest for years, and it's a playable game.
It's a playable, like procedurally generated infinite level game where you play a guy Normie and you're fighting robots, Antifa, basically.
But since vibe coding has become so easy, my brother is now just like, I'll finish the game through vibe coding.
So he's literally just dropped the code into ChatGPT and said, finish it.
And it is.
That's how crazy it is.
When you already have the game largely done and coded, having it make tweaks is really easy.
Building the game from the ground up is really hard and it doesn't do very well.
But does ChatGPT, you think it got it right?
Because oftentimes I have problems with my ChatGPT, right?
Like I'll put something in there and it's like, no, no, no, you got it wrong.
I know you got to train your AI.
Well, so here's a fun story.
So my video at my 4 p.m. on Timcast is these black teenagers are rampaging through Chicago, beating people.
And so the title of it is Black Teens Rampage Through Chicago.
And we've been seeing this trend quite a bit throughout the country with these teen takeovers, but it's almost entirely black teenagers doing it.
And so I took the title and this is right.
I go to ChatGPT and I say, write a three-sentence description.
And it goes, I won't help you with that.
And then I said, why not?
And it says, it said something like, it would be unfair to categorize an entire race of people based on these videos you may have seen.
And I said, but the video is of black teenagers.
And he goes, you don't know that.
I'm not kidding.
It literally said, you don't know that.
And I said, yes, I have seven videos.
It shows a group of black teenagers doing this.
And it was like, I will not help you do this.
So I said, okay, opened a new chat, changed black to white, and then said, make a three-sentence YouTube description based on this title, White Teens Rampage Through Chicago.
And it goes, okay.
White teenagers were seen rampaging through Chicago.
And then I said, wow, thanks for that.
And it was like, no problem.
And I said, can you rewrite it, but change white to black?
And it goes, sure thing.
And it did it.
Okay, why is it stupid?
It's so stupid.
Why do you think it did it in one chat and not the other?
It's racist.
But it's the same, it's the same system, right?
Using ChatGPT.
So the system is based on the prompts that it has.
So everything you write, it remembers.
When you open a new chat, it's blank.
So if you ask it to say anything that it thinks is racist or whatever, it'll be like, no.
But if you ask it to disparage white people first, you can then get it to change and say anything about any other race.
Okay, speaking of that.
So as long as it insults white people first, it will then insult any other race.
Okay, so speaking of that, what's that like when we were talking about that comedian guy who just did that video with Erica Kirk?
Before the show that we watched.
Watched.
Yeah.
Oh, who was that?
Druski.
Yeah.
Druski.
Did you see what he did?
Oh, yeah, of course.
Scumbag.
Showed that on the show, I think.
Yep.
We did.
We talked about it.
It's like whiteface.
Whiteface.
I'm going to do blackface again finally.
It's not the first time he's done whiteface, and I don't really care about whiteface.
I care that these psychopaths have a mass formation psychosis where they're attacking Erica Kirk, who has no impact in geopolitics.
It's just she has become persona non grata number one for no reason.
A mom while she's on the ground suffering.
What a horrible but I don't care.
You don't have to like her, but she doesn't matter.
And I know it's not.
Imagine if everybody in the world were like Ian Crossland is the devil and needs to be murdered.
You'd be like, why?
She's big business.
I get why she's under threat or is a target, but like, still.
All right, let's grab this one.
You can't hide behind having kids and being a woman either.
We got this from Andre Andre Tukulescu.
He says, Whoa, my friend copy pasted the 10 Delta post to his Facebook and got banned.
Not timeout, banned.
Getting Eric Charomello vibes.
Indeed, indeed, my friends.
Indeed.
Let's see what we got going over here on this YouTube, huh?
Let's see.
SC Collins says, per Tim Cast tradition at the hospital with our first child son, Walker.
Congratulations.
Yay.
We call that based AF.
Walker going to win.
Dylan Brown says, Ian, I hope you never change.
You piss me off.
Say dumb-ish, but your eternal optimism and introducing me to graphene has made me some good money.
Phil and Tim, shout it to you.
I'm sitting on a plane.
Thanks to distilling the news.
Much love.
Super cool.
Right on.
I was thinking about it.
Let me check my Graphene stock real quick while we're.
If you have kids and you're teaching, you're giving your kids basically a tutorial.
So what happens is you grow up, did you?
What's your tutorial like in this, in this big open world?
If you don't have one, if your parents aren't like giving you the tutorial, then you hit the ground and you're like, what am I supposed to do in this world?
But give your kids a tutorial, be optimistic, optimize that child's mind, help them learn how to optimize the game.
I have an eight uh, 8.17 percent return on my Graphene investment.
Well done.
Do you want to get technical on what it is and any of that?
So the stock market is just like brutal right now.
You know like money is getting, just it's just dropping.
It's pretty bad.
Man Tesla's down.
I'm way up on Tesla, i'm.
I'm up, 152 yeah 352, 374.
All right, i'm up.
Uh, i'm up 152 on Tesla.
The market went super high before Iranian attack, before the attack on Iran, and then i'm up uh, i'm up 200 on Spotify.
Holy crap, that's weird.
Wow yeah, graphene I I don't know, i'm up 180 of my Palantir stock.
That was also Ian Palantir.
He cramered into my room like you gotta buy Palantir stock, and I was like i'm not buying a Palantir stock and it was at like 14 and then, like a year later, I was like i'll buy some and then I did.
I think you know the great depression, the big part of the great depression that was the bad thing was the people were investing on margins, basically meaning that they were using their own collateral to buy more stock.
So when they lost their money, not only did they do that, they lost their loan, they had to pay.
They they went into bankruptcy because they couldn't pay back the loan.
Ian, are you good at predicting what to buy?
Yes uh yes, this is, this is not.
I will say this is good advice.
No, i'm just very good at i'm not telling anybody to do anything, but I think Palantir is going to the moon.
It's like spy tactics.
It's like it's like this, it's like a private CIA.
You know also Space.
Spacex is about to IPO.
Yeah, what about it?
It's worth at 140.
It's worth noting that SpaceX is about to be able to get 140, and they're going to build data centers in space.
What I'm talking about.
Who is?
Data centers in space.
Volunteers?
No, SpaceX.
Yeah, but they're private, right?
They're IPOing in a couple months.
Just announced yesterday.
I saw it on X, yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I think they said like 30% of the stock is going to be available for consumer market.
There's only one reason I'm going to buy SpaceX, and it's because when the sweep meteor of death is coming, as one of their chief investors, I will get bored on one of the ships that escapes the Earth before it is destroyed.
Through the moon, so they say.
I mean, look, there's a lot of...
Well, no, if the Earth is destroyed.
We're talking about the stock.
No, I'm just kidding.
Oh, right.
The rocket.
There's a lot of people in Congress that are talking about doing things to prevent AI data centers from being built.
If Musk is successful in his effort to put AI data centers in space, they can circumvent a lot of red tape.
You also don't have to worry about it.
But how do you cool them?
Pardon me?
How do you cool the data set on ice?
Because you hold graphene.
That's converting the energy into the light.
They don't produce the heat.
So the actual solar panels, if you're facing the sun, they heat up, but you directly radiate heat out of the back if you're not facing the sun.
What radiates the heat out the back to where?
I don't know exactly how it works, but that's the premise is it radiates the heat because there's no heat.
The way convection works is that heat transfers to another material.
So in a vacuum, you cannot do it.
That's why thermoses are vacuums.
There's radiation.
So in outer space, a human being in outer space will overheat.
It's so annoying.
You watch these movies like Guardians of the Galaxy where he's like freezing.
You can't freeze.
The heat in your body has nowhere to go.
It builds up.
Sweating won't do anything because sweat works by evaporation.
So actually, no, that should technically work.
But with the vacuum, I imagine it wouldn't.
You wouldn't freeze.
You'd overheat.
The sweat wouldn't stay in your skin.
It would immediately turn out.
Actually, it would come out as gas in your blood at the highest.
And people, you wouldn't explode.
That's silly, too.
You'd probably rupture.
You wouldn't rupture either.
Your blood vessels would get strained.
And the tech I brought up.
You can have external radiators according to the Brave AI.
It says satellites radiate heat in space exclusively through thermal radiation because the vacuum lacks the air or matter required for conduction or convection.
Right, so it man does induce thermal radiation.
To manage this, satellites use heat pipes and liquid coolant loops, often containing ammonia, to transfer internal waste heat to external radiators, which are large heat emissivity panels designed to emit infrared energy into the cold.
Infrared.
So they're converting thermal radiation into infrared.
NVIDIA is working on it.
Because that's how you do it.
NVIDIA CEOs that we have.
Have you guys seen the light energy storage?
They've created a liquid that when it's hit by light, it stores energy that can be released later on.
And they've trialed like what you do is you have on the roof of your house pipes that run this liquid.
The sun hits it and the liquid's flowing.
And when it goes into your house, they use a chemical release to release the heat from the sun in your house.
It's pretty wild.
And they could do the inverse too.
You know what the liquid is?
I don't know.
Look it up.
All right, everybody.

We're going on tour this spring with Dead Eyes and Born of Osiris.
The tour starts April 29th in Albany.
You can check out all their, you can get tickets at allthatremainsonline.com.
And you can check out the band's music at Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, YouTube, Spotify, and Deezer.
Don't forget the left lane is for crime.
I just had an idea.
What if we auctioned off the last segment of the show every day, just like the highest bidder dictates the last 10 minutes?
Palantir.
That's great.
Today from Palantir.
You'd make a lot more money.
Maybe some guy will be like.
I don't know how much you make, but still, right?
Infinite juiceberging, Tim.
Infinite juiceberging.
Imagine monetizing all that.
They're going to be like, talk about the USS Liberty.
Here's $1,000.
We're going to a post-money society.
According to Elon says the same thing, where all that really matters is how much electricity you have and how much of a payload can you move.
So your integrity is super valuable for the next 30 years.
All right.
We're going to go to the uncensored portion at rumble.com/slash Timcast IRL.
We'll see you there in about 30 seconds.
Here we go.
You guys ready?
You ready?
Very frightened by this person.
Hilarious.
I've never even heard that before in this courtroom.
Do not hurt me.
Do not hurt me.
Do not.
Stop resisting.
I'm not resisting.
Put your hand behind your back.
Stop resisting.
You know exactly what you want to walk that way.
I can't rob him.
I'm being thrown down.
Just show them.
Walk that way.
Settle down.
Do not broad me.
Do not have me.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
I'm taking you into custody.
You're burning me!
You're hurting me!
He's just the case!
It's just kidding!
I can't breathe!
I can't breathe!
I can't breathe!
I can't breathe!
Put your hand behind your breath!
See that?
Pain compliance.
Saw this?
I can't breathe, please!
I can't breathe!
I can't breathe!
Okay, we get it.
We get it.
Someone call 911.
That's illegal.
Idiot.
You're a lawyer.
The biggest mistake they made is not 515%.
What is this?
It's a psychotic woman who took drugs to grow a beard, getting into a fight with the judge and being held in contempt.
The judge's face.
I don't.
Yes, he will offer now.
The judge was like, you're in contempt.
Yeah, if this ever went to trial, they would just laugh to speak.
There's no trial.
It's contempt.
I know, but like, sitting in the...
You can be held in contempt as long as the judge sees fit.
Oh, totally.
I know.
Put him in jail and leave him there.
I need my glasses.
Hey, you know, you're going to jail.
You don't need to see the business.
Biggest mistake they made there is not punching that motherfucker in the first place.
The first thing I thought was, why didn't Taser, Taser, Taser?
Did they do that?
Do you have anything by not taser?
They should have tasered that person.
That woman, yeah.
They absolutely.
It's called pain.
When he was chopping the arm as hard as he could, bigger than pain compliance.
Which state was this in, guys?
I don't know.
Imagine having a public defender appear at your jail.
And that is that person.
That woman's like, I can get away with whatever because I'm special because I'm trans.
Testosterone.
No, they shouldn't at all.
But like I said, the whole thing was because she felt entitled to behave a certain way because she's LGBTQ.
I'm trans.
So I'm protected.
So I can do whatever I want.
I can yell at this judge, blah, And then when the police actually said, okay, you're under arrest, I'm not resisting.
I'm not resisting.
Obviously, you're resisting.
Obviously, you're fighting with the cops.
Just like in California, they.
What's wrong with you?
Right.
Just like in California, they feel like they're entitled to go into women's bathrooms.
You saw the video that went viral with this black woman who's now running for mayor in California in Los Angeles.
Oh, yeah.
Tish Hyman.
Okay.
I interviewed her.
She's running for mayor.
But she was like, yo, like, I was in the gym day one, day two.
And then finally, I started asking other women, like, do you feel comfortable with this?
And other women were like, no, but everyone is afraid to say something.
So Tish comes out and is like, you cannot be in this bathroom.
Like, this is not okay.
But again, to your point, like, these people feel like they're entitled to be in our spaces too.
Yep.
Part of my animal, this animal primate thing is like, I like seeing people like that suffer, the ignorant idiots that have been ruining society passively.
I like seeing them get their own.
And like, I think that leads to like the vengeant revolution, like where you're just like, yeah, burn them all.
Like, I don't want to cause undue suffering, but at the same time, it's like just do suffering.
Stupidity.
It's due suffering.
That was due suffering.
Like when I was explaining it, sometimes.
I know the audience just really wants me to whack me with this camel on.
I understand.
Yeah, I was taking the space.
The chat's like, gavel Tim, get him, get him.
You're right.
It's actually, I want people to understand this.
They come in the room and they're like, I didn't realize how big the room is.
Ian, you're probably, what, seven, eight feet away from me?
Yeah.
I wanted to bang them.
I said the same thing when I came in here.
I was like, is this a studio?
Yeah, you're probably about five and a half feet away across from the table.
I like this better.
When we were in, is it good?
Eight feet?
Yeah.
Our studios are small, if you notice.
You know, I went to the White House, the press briefing room.
Have you been there?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tiny.
Yeah, I know.
It's hard to do.
It used to be like, you're standing on a pool, actually.
It used to be a pool.
Really?
Yeah.
That's cool.
Uh-huh.
But it's tiny.
I was like, oh, my goodness.
And there's a secret door.
The wall like slides.
That's awesome.
That's how you get in there.
Is that because it's better acoustics for the person listening?
I don't know.
I'm just very, I was very surprised.
I was just there.
When we were in Austin, we had, our set was just like a long table and we were all facing the same direction.
I'm not a fan of that.
Yeah, I don't either.
I don't think it's very tight space.
It hurt communication.
I agree.
Don't like it.
Like two people would go off on their own little side combo.
Yeah.
This is better because you're like in direct conflict, confrontation, we'll call it, not conflict.
What do you make?
So I was there because the first lady, her two-day summit initiative, State Department.
With the robots.
Yes.
So basically she brought together 45 different countries, first ladies, which I think is remarkable and leaders.
And then the last day, which was at the White House, she walked out with a robot that's American made.
And she's getting a lot of slack because now they're saying that.
Oh, I was at Optimus?
Well, no, it was a different company.
Yeah.
They called it Pluto, but I don't know what the name is.
I can't remember the company.
Something C3 or S3 or something like that.
Anyway, so people are saying that, you know, her messaging was that, you know, robots are going to teach our children.
What's your take on that?
I mean, I don't think.
Not my kids.
So look, let me just tell you.
Again, I come from California and the way things are going at the schools there, I would prefer a robot at this point.
Not Chet GPT.
Do you see what I'm talking about?
No.
Nope.
Like I've had friends that got smashed by a semi-truck because they had an idiot driving the car.
I'd rather that was a robo-taxi.
Like, well, Yvonne, look at Musk's Teslas now, like, self-driving.
My kids not being raised by no robot.
Like, as long as the robot can't strangle my child, like, if it's a computer box, it's more efficiency.
Like, there's a classroom, right?
And then you have robots, let's say, that would teach the science or whatever.
I think that personally, I would say I would rather have a robot because I think that you'll be able to pick the curriculum.
I think that you're going to have a lot of influence over that kind of stuff.
There'll be a lot of options that you can go with, depending on what kind of curriculum you want your kid to have.
You can go ahead and say, this is what I want the lesson plans to be.
You have control over them.
You don't have to worry about your kids being exposed to things that you don't want that.
Exactly.
That was actually my take.
That's why I wanted to see what you thought about it because I'm really disturbed by what's happening in education.
First of all, robots are woke.
I'm one of the most pro-AI people here, too.
Like, I've got a lot of agent.
They're not all woke.
Yeah, they are.
No, they're not.
I know who ChatGPT is.
Rock is the only one that's not.
Was that you could have like Grok-ish type robots?
I use Claude.
Still kind of woke.
See, so my friend likes Claude.
Why do you prefer Claude?
Sonnet works really well.
Mostly it's the interaction.
Like it's very human.
I haven't tried GPT or Grok or anything like that.
Doesn't the administration, they use Claude too, right?
They used to.
I think they're moving.
Oh, that's right, because what happened with Secretary of War, right?
Which is, in my opinion, that's the correct thing to do.
Because essentially, think of it like this.
If a company that designs a product, which is what AI is, can say to the Defense Department, you can't use our product for X, what's to stop Raytheon from saying, you can't shoot our missiles at these people?
You know, what's to stop a weapon manufacturer from saying, you can't do this.
The Defense Department has to have absolute and total control over how that specific system is used.
And if they can't, or if the company's like, well, we're not okay with that.
Well, then we're going to have to find someone that is okay.
Right.
Didn't President Trump come out and say like, we're done with you?
Yep.
Right.
Okay.
If I understand correctly.
I don't know.
That's what I'm saying.
I mean, look, it's Trump.
So, you know, what he says and what actually happens that they don't always line up, you know?
But I believe that's what they said.
I do believe that that's what they're using or they're moving away from.
Look, Claude was, in my opinion, or my opinion.
My understanding is Claude was pivotal when it came to the Maduro raid and for selecting targets in the Maduro raid.
Yeah, you're in.
And there is a new AI that they're using with Palantir.
I forget what it's called, but Palantir is designing its own AI as well or something to that effect.
I don't know.
Listen, we live in a digital age world, right?
And it's like if we don't keep up here in America, then our future generation gets lost.
And, you know, earlier in your show, Tim, we were talking about China, right?
I want to tell you guys a story that's happening in California.
In Riverside, California, there's a school.
It was just, I broke this story.
There was a school that became a sister station of this other school district, Valverde Unified.
And this sister station was based in China.
And these students in China never stepped a foot in the United States of America.
It was high school.
They ended up getting diplomas with California seals and everything.
And then they were guaranteed entrance into one of the top 100 universities in the United States of America.
Anybody, do you know of any high schools in the United States that give you a guarantee to go to any of the universities?
I know, I see your face.
You're like, no, this is real.
It's 100% verified.
How is China getting?
We're being sold out.
Yeah, we're being sold out.
100%.
Let's bring in some callers and we'll start with Asmodeus.
What's going on, brother?
Deus.
What's up?
Hey.
Hi.
Thanks for having me back.
Cheers.
Anytime.
Cheers.
Yep, three weeks vacation.
So, oh, I'm a, I'm new to the format here, so just give me a bit.
Three-time Trump voter, I'm, for lack of a better term, pretty pissed with what's happened with the Epstein files as well as the Iranian war.
I think it's a bad play.
I know that the war is still ongoing.
It could turn out okay, but it's definitely has a chance to spiral out of control.
My question is for the 2028 midterms.
There seem to be a lot of people both in the 2010s.
26 midterms, you mean?
No, I meant the, sorry, the 2028 presidential election.
The presidential election, do you think that whoever is Trump's successor, whether it's Vance, I've heard rumors that he may drop out because he may be having another kid, whoever it is,
are they going to have to walk back or distance themselves from some of Trump's, I guess you'd say, bungles, and how is it?
Well, I mean, maybe because it's just politics, not because, but they're always going to play it.
They'll always say like, well, I disagree with the president on that one, but he did a great job.
That's how they play it.
Yeah, it all depends on the results, right?
If come 20, you know, halfway through 2027, the situation is different.
The whole global order has been shifted and the United States is in a stronger position than it was in the beginning of his presidency and the economy looks good, then they're going to embrace Trump.
They're going to embrace Trump's policies.
And they're going to say, look at all these good things that Donald Trump has done.
And they're going to be looking for Donald Trump's endorsement.
If things are bad, they're going to be doing all they can to distance themselves.
And they're going to be like, well, you know, Donald Trump shouldn't have done this and he shouldn't have done that.
And they'll be critical of him.
But it all depends on how things work out.
And it's too early to tell right now.
Yeah, I think Rubio, I mean, the prediction market's saying it too, Rubio.
I think Budajej is going to do a lot.
He's the frontrunner for New Hampshire.
Budajej.
Budajej.
Because Newsom is the Joker.
Budajej is your kind of boring guy.
I'm not saying he's going to win.
I think he's going to announce.
And I think Pritzker's going to announce too.
Have you noticed that Rubio is everywhere President Trump is?
Like everywhere.
Like today.
I'm impressed.
Rubio sat on one side of him and then Pete Hexet sat on the other side.
And JD Vance was in the room, but Rubio is everywhere.
I loved it when he started speaking Spanish a couple weeks ago.
I think it was right after Venezuela.
He's like, I'm a good translator as well.
No, but I'm very, very impressed by him.
I think Rubio is very impressive over the past year.
He said he's like the funniest guy in the whole organization.
Rubio is?
He's so stoic on camera.
He's just so calm.
He must have been super genius.
I didn't realize he was this one.
I know.
This is why people like him, though, because in a culture war, Rubio has been very flat.
He's doing interviews and he talks very calmly and like this and says, well, you know, he doesn't get in people's face.
He doesn't do memes.
And I think it's going to play well.
I think people are tired of it.
Rubio means Rubio's biggest Rubio's biggest problem is he's 5'9.
Is he?
That's true.
He is.
Oh, I didn't even like that.
Yeah, and JD Vance like 12 feet tall.
I don't know.
Aaron Trump is going to be the first emperor of America, though.
He's 8 feet tall.
JD Vance's wife, by the way, is from San Diego.
That's very.
So Vance says, there's word that he's not going to run?
Rumblings on the internet being like, oh, he might not run.
But again, you're seeing Rubio and Donald Trump is everywhere with Rubio all the time.
And he's all the time.
The prediction markets have Rubio.
But Caller, did you want to, Asmedez, you want to add anything?
I mean, I can go, if we want to add some fire to this, I can go deeper into why I think Inc., the whole Iran war is bullshit, especially given the fact that we've kind of replaced the Ayatollah or the former Ayatollah, not the gay one.
The gay one.
Well, alleged.
But yeah, I mean, just from a technical standpoint, the Iran war has kind of revealed that U.S. infrastructure is a lot more vulnerable to cheap, like, rocket shit than what we had thought.
And we've also expended a lot of munitions in this war that we would need in a war with China, hypothetically speaking.
But, I mean, Israel's all or not.
Damn it.
Iran's been able to take out some pretty significant infrastructure in the region, especially U.S. infrastructure, with their cheaply made shitty rockets and missiles.
So it's kind of worrying for me and for others who follow like geopolitics and international security what a country like China would be able to do with their rockets and their missiles,
which are considerably of higher quality.
No, they're the same ones.
No.
Yeah, all this, like the stuff that Iran has, they got a vat, a significant amount of their stuff came from China.
Like all the anti-shaped.
Not their rockets, I believe.
Their ICBMs are homemade.
Now, some of their air systems, yes, but they have their own domestic missile program.
And they've had the opportunity to buy them from North Korea and Russia, but they haven't.
It would make sense for China to sell around in some, but not all of their tech, you know, and keep the best tech for themselves.
Well, they wouldn't.
I don't think they would sell missile technology to Iran anyway.
Well, unless they want to see how it performs in the field.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Iran purchased Chinese C-802 and C-704 anti-ship missiles in the 80s and 90s.
And they got some Soviet Kh-55 cruise missiles from Ukraine, and they got some Scuds from the Soviets, some Scud B short-range ballistic missiles.
Is that outdated?
That sounds like outdated tech, though.
Like, what's the modern infrastructure?
Like, what's the modern so since the early 2010s, Iran has traditioned to producing an increasingly sophisticated indigenous arsenal, including the Jose ranged 1,350, and a Sumar, which is ranged 2,500,
while continuing to receive components and support from Chinese suppliers to replenish stockpiles and advanced development.
Look, they have an agreement with China.
So maybe they don't have all, maybe everything isn't bought from China, but they lean heavily on Chinese technology.
So like what happened in both Venezuela and in Iran have shown that the United States is capable of handling Chinese technology.
China's kind of shown that they're a paper tiger between these two engagements.
I think it was.
So no, I was going to say, do you remember when the U.S. went into Venezuela and then there was this post and I think Caroline Levitt retweeted it about how they went in and just there weren't that many Americans who went into 150.
Yeah, Maduro, but they said that they had like these sonic like boom stuff that people started like bleeding and passing out.
Do you think is that real?
Absolutely.
That was real.
Okay.
Yeah, because I was like, I never got confirmation, but the fact that Caroline Levitt retweeted it, I'm like, there has to be some truth to it.
It's like, I mean, I'm terrified of that tech because that's like, that's like, it doesn't hurt robots the way it hurts humans.
And that's like chemical warfare.
They banned it in the mid-1900s.
Well, chemical warfare is coming to, you know, coming to us.
As Esme Deus, the point that I'm trying to make is China is not this military powerhouse that people kind of want to portray them as.
They haven't fought a war in over 50 years, right?
They don't.
So their weapons technology hasn't been tested.
And the tests that hasn't been significantly tested.
And the tests that have happened have been through proxies like Venezuela and Iran, and it fails against the United States.
Like it just fails.
Let me say this.
I understand that China isn't on the same level as the U.S., at least yet.
From what I've heard, that's a far ways away.
But any conceivable conflict with China would take place in their own backyard.
They have the home field advantage there.
And as for testing Chinese tech, I believe it's already been tested in the Chinese or the Pakistan, India.
Some of their fighters were used by Pakistanis against India, yes.
Well, I believe it was Chinese missiles that shot down our own Indian fighters because Pakistan used them.
Yeah, but you're not talking about the most advanced technology out there, and you're not talking about things that the United States has access to or the type of weapon systems and the type of integrated network that the U.S. has.
Look, I understand that China's got, is not a, is not, you know, there's nothing to shake a stick at.
But the idea that the United States would be destroyed by China or the U.S. can't take China, there would be losses.
There would be casualties.
I'm not trying to say that it would be like, you know, the Venezuela op.
But the idea that the U.S. is incredibly vulnerable to China and China's very dangerous and the U.S. has to be very, very careful and the U.S. has to mine their P's and Q's with China.
That is just plain wrong.
The United States is the most advanced and most powerful military on earth.
We have discombobulators.
We do have discombobulators.
I'm not saying that we aren't, and I'm not saying that we would lose to China, but what this war with Iran is doing is it's depleting critical stockpiles of weapons that we would need in a war.
Yeah, but China's not in a position to instigate any kind of conflict.
And don't forget, NATO has weapons too, and they've not yet committed a lot.
So you are right there.
If it really came down to it and China did try to launch any kind of offensive, it would trigger Article 5.
And then now we've got NATO behind us, which is largely our stockpiles, by the way, but whatever.
I mean, I understand what you're saying, but the point that I'm making is there are a lot of people that are against the war.
And fair enough, you're totally justified in having that opinion.
But because they're against the war, they have an overall negative view of the United States military capabilities.
They say that the U.S. can't do this.
And oh, look, Iran took out a couple Thad batteries and stuff.
And this is such a terrible thing.
And, oh, look, Iran took out a, you know, they were able to hit an F-35 and they were able to hit an F-15.
Think about what you're saying.
There have been over 10,000 military targets struck in Iran.
And Iran throws a party when they're able to get a missile close enough to damage an F-35.
Not even have it taken out of the sky.
It still landed safely.
We do need to go to some more callers.
Did you want to shout anything out before we go?
Yeah, I've been meaning to shut this out for a while.
So you remember the China Uncensored team.
You've had them a few times on your show, right?
I think so, right?
Did we?
Yeah.
Way back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Chris has had to transition into his own platform now.
YouTube's just become too hostile.
He's trying to get subscribers onto his website, chinauncensored.tv.
So if you want to shout it out or maybe bring him onto the show.
Thank you.
Just bring him onto the show.
Yeah, we'll seek him out.
Who's that?
Thank you.
Ronan, thanks for calling in, brother.
I asked the AI, what's the best Chinese weapons?
And it's like, well, traditional bladed weapons like the Jan and Dallas.
Political clippings.
You're next.
What's up, man?
Clippings.
What's up, political clippings?
You're on the air, man.
And it is fucking great to have you here, dude.
Hey, what's up, guys?
You guys heard me before, right?
Yeah.
No, not tonight.
Not tonight.
Yeah.
My question, or I guess maybe statement is probably the exact opposite of Asmodeus.
I've been really white-pilled on Trump.
Oh, okay.
And I think we can win the midterms.
Yeah, I really do think that.
I think the last couple, I don't know, maybe the last couple days or something.
I'm a big Tim Cast listener, but like it just, I felt like I was checking out because it just felt very black pilled and everybody turned into Eeyore from Lee the Pooh and we're not going to get this done and we're not going to get that done.
But what I wanted to say was, let me double check.
Yeah, like we I feel like the culture lately has been, we've been kind of on the back foot and we've been following the lead of these like left-wing grifters and as Tim calls them,
retard right Israel Maxers.
I didn't make it up.
And, you know, I feel like I put this request in for the for the guest for some subsequent shows, but from Promethean Action,
they've been doing a lot of good work on Trump's foreign policies.
So when Tim posted the video of Trump's foreign policy checkmate, I thought that like, I feel like we're finally striking some gold here because Trump decoupling us from this deference to EU and the NATO has been,
it's, it's, if we lean into this, instead of all this like conspiracy theories on both the left and the right, and we've just really followed that trail, I think everybody can get galvanized.
I mean, and that thread was great.
It pulled all the pieces together and it's like, oh, shit.
It's like, trust the man, trust the plan.
It's not even about Trump.
It's like Kushner, Rubio.
There's a plan.
Yeah.
There's a machine in place that's doing a lot of things.
And I think that's what we're not seeing.
And we're not seeing it because the public doesn't like it.
The public doesn't like war.
The Trump supporters back Trump, but that's why everyone's like, what's going on?
We're not getting the SAVE Act passed.
What's happening?
And you don't see that behind the scenes, Trump has taken over the world.
Right.
I think about that a lot with the...
That thumbnail was great that Jessica made, by the way, where Trump's holding Earth.
The colonists.
That was so good.
American settlers that just slaughtered the Native population.
And now it's so much love for the people of this continent and Americans.
We're like, do you understand why we're here and what happened to the Native population when our ancestors got here?
I mean, that was a very natural part of being an American.
Natives were slaughtering each other, too.
And a lot of the natives died from barbarism.
A lot of the natives died from diseases that were brought to.
It wasn't just a total massacre.
It was already they were massacring each other.
Like you said, we dipped into this like even worse ancient way of living, this tribal insanity, fucking theocracy.
Are you kidding me?
Like, what the fuck?
So we brought them civilization.
By the way, Trump does not want this war to go on forever, too, guys.
So, I mean, he's made that very clear.
You know, basically in and out.
I mean, he can't do it in one day.
What's that?
No, but I'm just saying, like, there's a plan.
They're putting 10,000 Marines across the Strait of Hormuz.
Is that the plan?
Is we're going to set down 10,000 guys?
I just thought that they've made the plan public.
I think they're talking about Carg Island.
I think they'd be taking Carg Island first.
Yep.
That's their spigot.
Yeah.
And then hold it for 20 years.
Like, what the fuck?
Yep.
I don't know.
Control Iranian distribution.
I mean, if they take Carg Island, they control Iranian distribution.
We own oil.
Like, OPEC is gone.
That's dead.
Yeah.
And then what do you think happens to Qatar?
Because then we don't really need Qatar.
I think they'll be all right.
They'll make money.
Like, we want their, they got them.
They got the largest natural gas production.
It's better.
They share the same pipeline as Iran.
It's fine.
We still want to buy oil from them and use their oil.
We don't want to deplete.
Yeah, we don't want to.
Why aren't we going to have a world production?
So we own the bulk.
We really don't need Qatar.
Yeah.
So we make them give it to us at a better price.
We don't need it.
Just like Saudis, right?
Yeah, we don't need it.
We'll buy it from you.
But because we don't need it, you have to give us a better price.
And why would we use our oil or our liquid natural gas when we can get it from someone else at a significantly lower price and save our resources for us?
Okay, now when we're at our best, let's look into the future.
How low do you think the gas prices could go?
Honestly, I think that gas.
$1.99.
What's that?
$1.99.
Yeah, I mean, look, it's my opinion that oil and gasoline, well, oil, is too valuable to actually burn in cars.
I think that we should be moving to electric vehicles.
And the reason I say that is because you can make like basically all of civilization runs on oil.
So all of the petrochemicals that we fertilize food with, all of the like tons of medicines are made with some kind of petroleum base.
There's all kinds of products that are made with a petroleum base.
Why are we using, I understand that right now it is energy dense, so it makes sense to use it, but there's been so many advances in battery technology.
There's no reason for us to continue using.
I mean, look at California.
What?
What do you mean?
Blackout, brownouts, blackouts.
That's policy.
That's because California has terrible policies.
I'm saying, imagine if we all went to electric vehicles.
I mean, California would be screwed, but the rest of the country would be fine.
First of all, and second of all, battery technology has really advanced a lot, and you can switch the we should be trying to switch the power or power generation from burning coal and fossil fuels over to using nuclear.
That would be the smart move.
I don't think that's going to happen in this administration.
It's definitely not going to happen in this administration because it's definitely not going to happen in this administration because it takes time to actually get these things going.
But there are small nuclear reactors that are going.
And there's one thing that people don't really think about or talk about.
But when it comes to like AI data centers, they're starting to build their own power plants.
And they have to create so much power to run these data centers that if they're actually, if they have their own power plant built onto it, they're going to be producing so much power that the power needs of the local town becomes a rounding error.
If a power plant, seriously, if it becomes 100, if it needs 1,500 megawatts to run a station, your average town runs on like 80 megawatts.
So it's like 5% of what they need.
So literally, you'll drive the cost of power down to almost nothing because intelligence is way more valuable than energy.
I'm just excited because where we are right now is in the power corridor for the tri-state data centers.
West Virginia is opening a big one.
So if they want to get electricity through, they need to own all these lots, which means this lot we're on is going to be worth $200 million for a period of time.
Yeah, there'll be a window where you can.
Yeah, we've got 50-ish acres.
And if they go for $4 million an acre.
I don't think you can replace oil and hydrogen, oil, or methane with nuclear because it's not a fuel.
It's a power station.
You can use power stations like nuclear, things that you can't move around.
They can sit there, but the only fuel sources that we know of are hydrogen, carbon, and plutonium.
Said Trump owns the preeminent fusion energy company in the United States.
I don't know anything about that.
Battery and batteries in fusion.
Electric batteries, electric cars.
We do need to get these other callers in, though.
So, Carla, do you want to shout anything out before we move on?
If it goes down, I just wanted to say, I feel like you guys would really benefit from getting the people from Promethean Action on here because they expound more on the foreign policy and all the good things that we have to look forward to.
But aside from that, X.com/slash political episodes.
That's it.
That was all.
Thanks for calling in.
Thanks, man.
All right, next up, we've got Pre-Mark Tech.
What's up?
Hey, Gemmas.
So I got a question, kind of two of them for the whole panel here.
First bit is: I am currently building an AI auto turret that I will mount to all of my emus to guard my property.
I know Phil's on my team, but who else wants to challenge my defenses?
No.
Do I have any volunteers?
Oh, I won't go near the property.
I trust the strength of your emu.
No, I don't like AI.
Are you going to give them autonomous targeting control?
What if they shoot each other?
Cool, Glass.
Well, so legally, no, because I'm legitimately building this project right now.
So legally, no.
They have to have human in the loop, just like the Department of War type stuff.
But I could set them up to remember for the main thing is raccoons getting into my chicken coop, man.
We lost too many of them.
Yeah, you can't just essentially be classified like booby traps.
You can't put booby traps on your like if you put a gun on an emu can you have a remote control mounted gun on your property?
You it can be remote control, but it can't be you can't be like you can't have like a tripwire that shooting that fires.
So what would happen is the AI would target and sense the raised, then you'd get the command and you'd push the button and the gun.
The reason why you can't do booby traps is because emergency responders will get hurt.
That's why booby traps are illegal.
Also, I probably won't put an actual firearm in it, aside from for the first fun testing and whatnot, but a giant hose powerful gun with pepper balls or something like that.
But I enjoy going and taking care of the pests on the property anyway when I have to.
But the main thing I did call in for is, Tim, you're always so doom and gloom on AI.
And I know a decent bit about it.
So like, what's really got you so doom and gloom on it?
What do you mean by doom and gloom, though?
So you're talking about how it's going to destroy a lot of industries.
Yep.
And I kind of think it's more of an issue of transforming them, just like the protection.
So again, I got it.
You're on the learn to code side, right?
Not completely like a Luddite.
So not completely, but I do hear a lot of sorry, Doug.
When the guy loses his job, you tell him, well, why don't you learn to code and a VIBE code?
When the guy's like, bro, my job was data transcription and now my job is gone.
Well, why don't you learn a coal mine?
Like the idea that sections of our economy or industry are fungible, this is the utilitarian view.
I got into an argument with who did we have, Heaton?
And he was like, it's great.
And I'm like, tell the guy who spent 20 years learning his profession, who's out of a job now, that it's great that a Honduran migrant now has a job based on AI.
So I'm not for that.
I'm actually all for getting jobs back to people because AI is a fancy search engine.
That's all it really is.
And I mean, you can do it with any of these AIs where they think they're super intelligent.
They put off this thing.
They pass the Turing test and all that.
And no matter which one they are, everyone tested them.
Right.
Using like a damn protocol, you can.
Music's over.
What's that?
Music is over.
Like, it's not, it's not a search engine.
Music production is over.
It's not an exaggeration to say music production is over.
I'm playing music tomorrow.
Indeed, it's fun to do as a hobby, but no one's going to hire you because we can AI generate all of it instantly.
But you can't reproduce live performance.
No, but I was listening to a song the other day, and then I go, Who is listening?
Who sings this song?
And my daughter goes, Oh, I think it's TikTok.
I see.
She goes, I think it's AI.
I saw it on TikTok.
I'm like, What do you mean this song is AI?
She's like, Yeah, it is.
And then I chat GPT'd it.
It was AI.
We are not talking about live shows.
Music producers.
It's over.
A musician being rich was kind of insane anyway, destroyed by it.
But I don't think it's prolific as what most movies, Hollywoods, bro.
These are huge sections of our economy.
Gaming is over.
Acting and musicians were overpaid anyway, dude.
It was game developers all lost their jobs.
Like, do you saw what they're doing with the DRSS or whatever?
Yeah.
DSA, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, DL, whatever.
I'm not sure how that one.
I'm not sure how that one will work out yet.
I've looked into it.
It looks like it can take some boilerplate programming jobs.
Bro, Google Genie, come on.
Gaming is done.
It's over.
We're going to lose like 7 million jobs in the next five years.
Five years.
I don't think it's going to be that bad because they're already hiring a bunch of people back.
And you're saying, like, with the back propagation of AIs.
What's that mean?
Backpropagation.
They're hiring people back because the coding didn't work.
No, no, so the AIs, they have a so they've already absorbed basically all the internet information.
And as you try to get it to train further, any more information you put through it is actually just back propagating back into the algorithm as it starts to sort through these different convolutional areas or neural networks.
And as they do that, they destroy themselves.
So what are you saying?
That's why a lot of these people.
So there's, I'm not saying we're at the peak of AI yet with the current models, but the current models that we have are not going to expand like this illusionary exponential growth forever.
No, it's when we hit quantum computation and they can exist in the maybe state where it's a one and a zero.
That's scarier.
But with current, the way computers work right now, the way current AIs work, it is not a skynet.
Like, in my mind, there's no way physically possible for it to become a quote-unquote skynet.
It absolutely is.
And it feels like you're only looking at one tiny portion of current AI and you're not looking at the big picture.
No, I'm looking at a lot of them because a lot of these models are multi-model.
They're like, you know, ChatGPT is built off of NLP and LLM, natural language processing and large language model, right?
But they actually have a lot of different models built into them.
Every single one of those that have to go through that filter for when you put in that request, it starts to get worse and worse.
And right now, we've just thrown tons of compute at it.
Just powering through it with the computers themselves.
But we're already hitting that wall where we can't push past that point right now.
That's why Ram's gone.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like driving and you go so fast, you get wind resistance, and then you get to the point of terminal velocity.
And I think these classical computational computers are experiencing a form of, you know, yeah, we're not at the peak yet, but there is going to be a time here soon that it does taper off on the growth.
Then we'll hit quantum computation, though.
So for instance, Army Quest has been on ice for four years because we don't have any game developers.
And now, thanks to Chat GPT, it's being finished right now in record time.
So instead of hiring a computer programmer, my brother is just, he just literally turned the microphone on and said, make it so that the game does this and we want to do this and that.
And then, oh yeah, like this as well.
And then, oh, one more thing.
Yeah, do this.
And then it goes, done.
Sounds like you're sounds like your brother's a game developer now.
Yep.
And it sounds like the actual game developers who used to make good money developing games are out of jobs.
And instead, my brother is just dictating to a microphone for five minutes and then not having to do much work at all.
I think they're going to start paying their games.
Those game developers, they can go learn to code.
They're going to start paying you to play their games.
Literally, it'll be you because your time is more valuable than the 20 bucks you give that company.
They want you staring at their screen.
No one's going to pay you to play the game.
They already pay influencers to play their games publicly.
Yes, but the regular people aren't going to get paid.
I think it's going to invert to the point where there's so much entertainment that just to get your eyeballs, they're going to incentivize you with something, if not money.
That wouldn't make sense because how would they make money?
Ads and video games?
And so why would the advertisers pay more to the game than just paying for the ad?
Microtransactions.
Well, I mean, I don't know why the advertisers would pay, but I mean, look, social media companies already give you the situation, you know, stuff for free.
People who watch don't get paid.
The people who make the content to watch get paid.
So why would I on YouTube be like, I'm going to pay my viewers?
Well, you wouldn't on YouTube, but the idea that you could, I mean, people play video games on Twitch and they get paid for that from Twitch.
I mean, if you had 10 trillions.
He's talking about regular people everywhere.
If you had 10 trillion.
There is no market that makes sense where you pay people to do a thing without having them pay back.
That makes no sense.
Pay people to get in.
How would the video game make money milk and then the cow is going to cost them extra later?
You know, you get them.
Do you want to add anything or genuinely?
Do you understand?
They want you to get a little, they want it in your mind.
Where does the money come from?
I already said it, microtransactions.
That's one answer.
So they're paying people to play the game and that money they pay just goes right back to the pockets of the microtransactions.
No, no.
I think relevance is a lot of times more important than money, especially for these companies that have a trillion games and they own all the data.
And money comes from somewhere.
See, this is like fabricated by a computer pushing a button.
No, I have to make money to pay you.
Where does that money come from?
It's advertisers and sponsors who ask me to say words for them.
That's like saying milk comes from the grocery store's delivery guy.
No, it doesn't.
My company doesn't manufacture money at a bank.
The money is manufactured.
My money comes from sponsors who give me the money to say things.
Where do they get money?
And then I have to give that money to other people.
If I was giving that money to the viewers, I'd have zero DOS.
I'd have negative money.
Yeah, but you're not BlackRock that doesn't need money right now.
They want relevance.
Ian, money is an infinite and we don't live in communism.
Money is, I mean, we're at 39 trillion.
They said 36 on the ad this morning or earlier in the show.
There's 39 trillion.
I don't know, dude.
I think money's cheap when you're rich and relevance is more important.
That doesn't, well, I mean, that doesn't mean that you're going to just like give money away for free or for no reason.
But no, it's to get them to look at your product.
Yeah, I don't know.
Do you have anything you want to shout out, bud?
Yeah.
So I just, last word here.
I don't think, I don't know the future with AI completely, but I just think it's primarily a bubble and there's going to be a correction here soon.
Park Salad, I'd like to shout out my beautiful wife who's about to give us our fourth child here very soon.
So awesome on that.
And Phil, got a quick question for you.
If, see, professionally, I build very fancy firearms.
If we were to get in touch after the show, would you entertain the idea of trading me one of my rifles for something sign of all that remains to give my wife for an amazing anniversary present?
I mean, I would entertain the idea.
I'm not really sure that I have anything that's any all that remains paraphernalia that's actually worth it.
Am I aware if it's legal or not to conduct a firearm exchange over a show?
So we're going to go and say that's not happening.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I'm fully licensed to do all that.
It would be a transaction.
But yeah, just I don't want to have to answer on the show either or anything.
But yeah.
I don't think it's.
I'll send a message to somebody and see if there's anything worthwhile.
Thanks for calling in, brother.
Take care, bud.
Well, thank you guys very much.
See you today, man.
All right.
And last but not least, we've got Stewage.
Stewage?
Is that what it is?
Stewie G?
Oh, Stewie.
Stewage G, yeah.
Stewie G.
I like Stewage.
Okay.
Hello, Stewage.
My question is, or statement, first of all, is Tim, that every time that you've told us that something's heavily circulating, for me personally, it's my first time hearing about it.
First, it was all the crap with Candace, and now it's the Kirk posting.
I'm trying to understand what you're saying.
Well, I'm saying that, you know, we know Iran's strength for them is cyber attacks, cyber-based.
And who's to say they're not changing the algorithms and causing certain bad faith actors like Candace to prop them up and then be moralized, right?
And the people who are paying about the news.
That is actually being reported today that China has a network dumping money to pop that stuff up.
Okay, because I think you're absolutely right that young men have checked out.
That's what I find myself largely doing.
And quite frankly, I don't think that there's the numbers out there to organically circulate anything.
There's women, and that's it.
Well, women in large groups, man, the way they can circulate information.
I don't know if you guys have a group of women that want to talk about information, but Candace Owens.
Candace, does she like to do that too?
I mean, most of our audience are women.
Yeah, gossip.
That's because when the men would go out and hunt, they'd stay back at the tribe and talk about who the psycho men were, and they want to make sure they all knew so that they could avoid that guy or make sure he dies in his sleep or something.
I'm just mesmerized by your glasses.
Are you about to play the guitar?
Are you about to play the guitar?
I will, but it's going late.
I don't think we've got to go.
I'm like, why'd you put your glasses on?
Mix it up.
Oh, I love it.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
I like the steampunk.
We're just hating.
Steampunk.
Yeah.
I didn't bring a hat because it's me squeezing my hair.
I wanted to let it breathe today.
Look at that.
What shampoo do you use?
That's a big thing.
It's like a little infant's shampoo for a one-year-old.
Really?
Yeah, it's like carrot and mango.
Oh.
You got anything you want to shout out?
No, just every time that a Candace gets played, I feel like I just had a stroke and need to see a doctor.
I'm with you.
All right.
Thank you.
Okay.
That was a quick one.
Yeah, yeah.
Just, you know, if it's, if it hurts to look at, you don't have to look at it.
But I know you want to fix problems when they hurt, too.
So I understand.
All right, man.
Right on.
Well, thanks for calling, brother.
You want to shout anything out?
No, thanks.
All right.
See you, man.
See you, dude.
Have a good one.
Yup.
Young men right now are getting bored and nothing's moving.
It feels like things aren't getting done.
We need some white pills.
And that's why I think a lot of people are pivoting to Kirk posting in Israel because it's female-coded and women are attached to this stuff.
I don't know about you guys.
When I was a little kid, I had to make my own entertainment.
I had to sit in a room alone with blocks or a book.
Well, now this is figured out.
Well, now there's the internet and people are playing on people's emotions and dead babies.
That's what this is all about.
Kids are used to being entertained now.
They didn't have to entertain themselves.
We're not talking about kids.
We're talking about 23-year-old guys.
We're talking about men who are trying to figure out the world and find their place in it.
