=== Air Superiority Over Iran (14:26) ===

[00:01:03]  A U.S. fighter jet is confirmed having been shot down over Iran.
[00:01:08]  Now, there were two crew members.
[00:01:09]  One has been rescued.
[00:01:11]  And as of the recording of this show, we still don't know the fate of this other crew member believed to be alive and in Iran.
[00:01:17]  Now, the Iranian government is offering a massive bounty.
[00:01:20]  Some reports I saw say it's around $60,000 U.S. equivalent dollars if the Iranians capture this American pilot or crew member.
[00:01:30]  This could get really bad.
[00:01:33]  I would make the argument that if the Iranian government knew it was good for them, they'd stay away from this.
[00:01:38]  Individual, as Trump will lay down hellfire if something happens to this crew member.
[00:01:46]  But either way, we've got videos of rescue vehicles, planes, helicopters refueling, and the search is on.
[00:01:52]  It is intense.
[00:01:53]  We're going to go over all of this.
[00:01:54]  And then we've got a bunch of other news that's very, very interesting.
[00:01:57]  We've got eight people in California arrested for fraud.
[00:01:59]  Massive.
[00:02:00]  JD Vance is saying, yeah, Ilhan Omar did commit immigration fraud, indicating that moves may be coming to lock her up, denaturalize, and deport.
[00:02:11]  So, we'll talk about all of that, my friends.

[00:02:48]  Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more is the great Scott Pressler.
[00:02:52]  Hey, thanks for having me back.
[00:02:54]  And for anyone that doesn't know me, I am the founder of earlyvoteaction.com.
[00:03:00]  And my goal is to elect Republicans up and down the ballot and try to save what's going to happen this November in 2026.
[00:03:08]  We've got polling data showing that Republican affiliation is at a massive, massive low.
[00:03:14]  And that is very worrying.
[00:03:15]  I'm seeing all of these polls where people are like, MAGA is perfect.
[00:03:19]  They all support Trump and they're ignoring the loss of moderates, which Trump will need and Republicans will need.
[00:03:24]  So it's great to have you here.
[00:03:25]  This is a big problem.
[00:03:26]  Important to talk about it.
[00:03:26]  So thanks for hanging out.
[00:03:27]  Ian, of course, is hanging out.
[00:03:29]  I'm so glad Scott's here.
[00:03:30]  As one does.
[00:03:30]  Good to be here, man.
[00:03:31]  Yeah, good to be here, Tim.
[00:03:32]  Thanks, right?
[00:03:32]  We got Carter pressing the buttons.
[00:03:34]  What's up?
[00:03:35]  And of course, Phil rocking out.
[00:03:37]  What's going on?
[00:03:37]  Let's go.
[00:03:38]  Let's jump this big story here from Axios.
[00:03:41]  U.S. fighter jet shot down in Iran.
[00:03:43]  One crew member rescued.
[00:03:45]  Search for other ongoing.
[00:03:47]  That story in and of itself is very straightforward.
[00:03:49]  That's the latest update we've got.
[00:03:51]  But we've got videos.
[00:03:51]  We got tons of these videos.
[00:03:53]  Take a look at this.
[00:03:58]  US helicopters flying over Iran.
[00:04:01]  Now, I actually got to point to the note that despite this story being pretty terrifying and brutal, actually fairly optimistic.
[00:04:09]  You know why?
[00:04:10]  The one thing I don't see anybody pointing out we have air superiority.
[00:04:14]  We have such air superiority over Iran right now.
[00:04:17]  We just got a bunch of vehicles floating around chilling on a rescue mission without worry of being shot down.
[00:04:22]  And the worst attack I've seen thus far is a dude hiding behind a pillar with a bolt action rifle shooting at a helicopter, which is going to do nothing.
[00:04:30]  I mean, like, he's got a one in a lottery tickets chance shot of hitting that American pilot in the helicopter.
[00:04:35]  It's not a particularly good weapon for taking down helicopters.
[00:04:40]  If he was holding like a 50 BMG, like anti material rifle, I'd be like, well, that one is for hunting helicopters, but you've got to be pretty good.
[00:04:47]  It looks like while the story may be very worrying for this crewman, it also shows the U.S. basically owns the airspace now.
[00:04:55]  They've destroyed their anti air capabilities.
[00:04:57]  I mean, look, the U.S. has run something like 20,000 sorties or whatever over Iran since the war started.
[00:05:05]  Some ridiculously high number.
[00:05:06]  If they actually did shoot down an F 15, I don't know if it's actually confirmed that Iran actually shot him down or there was a mechanical issue or whatever.
[00:05:14]  But if they did, it still shows how totally dominant the United States military has been in this campaign.
[00:05:20]  You know, like to be able to go into a country and basically have the ability to fly, like Tim's saying, helicopters, which are, you know, the biggest concern for all U.S. operations in Iran has always been that they've got tremendous anti air capabilities.
[00:05:38]  Yeah.
[00:05:38]  So, you could not just fly over.
[00:05:40]  I mean, the U.S. relies on air superiority for taking out, you know, like enemy targets, bases, sites, drone strikes, and all this stuff.
[00:05:47]  But Iran had been very, like, let me phrase it like this.
[00:05:51]  There's a viral post going around where it discusses one thing we've learned since the start of this war is that Iran has been dumping decades worth of its economic resources just into war.
[00:06:02]  The people of the country are protesting for an obvious reason.
[00:06:05]  Their standard of living is low.
[00:06:06]  And then you find out it's because almost all the money they get, they just build weapons.
[00:06:10]  So now, In a couple of weeks, as much as I'm not a fan of Trump's statements, like, no disrespect to the president.
[00:06:16]  I hope he wins.
[00:06:17]  I don't want to be a doom pillar or anything like that, a black pillar.
[00:06:22]  But I got to hand it to him when he says, like, we flatten their Air Force, their Navy.
[00:06:27]  It's crushed.
[00:06:27]  It is.
[00:06:28]  And this, I wonder if, like, is anyone going to point this out in the administration just to be like, guys, it's bad that a jet got shot down?
[00:06:38]  That does show they have some anti aircraft capabilities, but we were able to fly a bunch of rescue vehicles over without issue.
[00:06:44]  I think you'd.
[00:06:45]  Don't want to alert or terrify the Iranian civilian raid.
[00:06:50]  That's the only downside of this, is now they see American helicopters flying over their city.
[00:06:55]  And it's like, you know, middle of Ohio, all of a sudden you see an Iranian helicopter, you're like, oh, we really are surrounded.
[00:07:01]  Like that feeling kind of want to avoid that.
[00:07:04]  But I mean, it does establish absolute and total military dominance on its face.
[00:07:09]  I mean, to be able to, like we were saying, to be able to fly helicopters, you know, they had extensive anti air assets in Iran and the U.S. eliminated them.
[00:07:19]  In, like, basically, almost entirely.
[00:07:22]  Like I said, I don't know what shot down the F 15, but if it was actually shot down by a missile, obviously it's not totally rooted out.
[00:07:32]  But at the same time, with the number of sorties that the U.S. has flown over Iran, something on the order of 20,000.
[00:07:38]  Yeah, they cooked.
[00:07:39]  Kellen.
[00:07:41]  It's totaled on.
[00:07:42]  We got this video.
[00:07:43]  This is reportedly a surface to air missile.
[00:07:46]  Look at that.
[00:07:48]  And I guess it failed?
[00:07:49]  Yes.
[00:07:50]  And four.
[00:07:51]  Did they just fire a missile at their own people?
[00:07:53]  I mean, look at the launch point.
[00:07:55]  This is reportedly in Tehran.
[00:07:56]  You can see where it launched from, and then it just landed a couple miles away or a mile or so away.
[00:08:03]  I wonder if they're getting knocked down by telemetry scramblers from space, like satellites that are just knocked down.
[00:08:09]  Low orbit ion cannons?
[00:08:11]  Yeah.
[00:08:11]  Stuff that's just disrupting their guidance systems.
[00:08:14]  I've heard that they have been disrupting their guidance systems.
[00:08:17]  This sounds slowed down.
[00:08:18]  Yeah.
[00:08:21]  It's definitely slowed down.
[00:08:23]  Yeah, give it to me at times two.
[00:08:25]  Let's try and find the speed.
[00:08:29]  It's similar to the disc ha ha, like the dawn from machine.
[00:08:32]  Okay.
[00:08:36]  No, that's weird.
[00:08:38]  That's bizarre.
[00:08:39]  I think he's hiding his voice.
[00:08:40]  I think he's distorting his voice.
[00:08:41]  Yeah, maybe.
[00:08:42]  Because the IRGC would have him slaughtered if they.
[00:08:44]  Hey, they're trying.
[00:08:45]  I don't think the story is necessarily just the air dominance and superiority.
[00:08:51]  It's the simple fact that this is a different administration.
[00:08:56]  So, President Obama, President Joe Biden, they.
[00:09:00]  Wanted to fund and use our money to give Iran the ability to fund these wars and missiles, et cetera, versus we have the very administration that was able to capture Maduro and, in one fell swoop, eliminate Ayatollah Khomeini.
[00:09:16]  And so, like you said, if I were an enemy of the United States or if I were going to even dare try to take down a fighter pilot, I would be shaken in my boots knowing that President Trump is not messing around, that he will actually act and not reward you.
[00:09:31]  For your actions.
[00:09:32]  Yeah.
[00:09:33]  I hope they.
[00:09:34]  I remember that phone call that leaked where Trump was like, I told Putin, if you invade Ukraine, I'll nuke Moscow.
[00:09:42]  And I told Xi, if you take Taiwan, I'll nuke Beijing.
[00:09:44]  And he's like, I don't know if they believed me, maybe 5%.
[00:09:47]  And that 5% is enough.
[00:09:48]  There's a reason why they.
[00:09:50]  You know what I love about Trump?
[00:09:51]  He is both derisively and endearingly called the madman.
[00:09:56]  Yeah.
[00:09:57]  This is something I was going to ask you, Scott.
[00:09:59]  I think a lot of the problems with the Republican Party right now are people are disillusioned with Trump because of the way they handled the Epstein files and now a sneak attack on Iran, essentially.
[00:10:08]  I think Iran was the main hit.
[00:10:10]  No, new wars.
[00:10:11]  I think Epstein was particularly effective among politically aligned individuals, but I think Iran was the biggest hit.
[00:10:17]  Yeah.
[00:10:18]  And so, like you're saying, it is, I mean, essentially, it's a great show of military force, but even when he stated his military goals, he didn't have.
[00:10:26]  NX's strategy.
[00:10:27]  He just said, we're going to blow up their stuff and then we're going to blow up their energy grid and then.
[00:10:32]  Marco Rubio's like, well, we want regime change.
[00:10:34]  I mean, think they're insinuating regime, but I mean, where are you?
[00:10:36]  Are you disillusioned with Trump?
[00:10:38]  I mean, I know you're a powerful activist for the Republican Party, but that doesn't mean like Trump sycophancy or anything like that.
[00:10:44]  But where's your head at?
[00:10:46]  Well, ultimately, my goal is to make sure the president is successful and it has four years to do his job.
[00:10:53]  I think what I'm hearing on the ground is I do believe it's important to be consistent.
[00:10:58]  And so when the president campaigns in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and says new wars, I think if he's going to do a strike and eliminate Ayatollah Khomeini, he needs to be clear on his communication and why we're doing that.
[00:11:13]  And so I was thinking about it on the way over here today.
[00:11:16]  And I was thinking to myself, President Obama, you could try to say his goal was diplomacy and that he wanted to stop war or create peace with Iran by funding them, which we know there was going to be no diplomacy under the rule of Khomeini.
[00:11:36]  And so then you have this administration when maybe their goal is okay, no diplomacy.
[00:11:41]  Let's try to create new change and see if that works.
[00:11:44]  And so I think ultimately, I would like to hear from the president and the administration if the goal, for example, is to take Greenland so we can stop Russian waterway attacks from submarines through the Atlantic.
[00:12:00]  And then if the goal ultimately is to have change with Iran so then we control the Strait of Hormuz so then we're not funding.
[00:12:10]  Our allies are not getting oil from our enemies, but instead they're getting oil from us.
[00:12:15]  I think that's what the American people would like to understand.
[00:12:19]  Does this have to do with making sure we're not funding the very terrorism that is going to be used against us?
[00:12:25]  And if we just had clear communication on that, the American people would be much more, I think, open to the idea of attacks with Iran.
[00:12:34]  Does that make sense?
[00:12:35]  The question I have is it's an honest question, and I think some people may feel that it's a very obvious answer.
[00:12:41]  This is not meant to make a definitive statement on a moral point.
[00:12:44]  I'm just asking, why is it?
[00:12:47]  Honest question.
[00:12:48]  There is such tremendous anti war and intervention sentiment in the United States.
[00:12:53]  Now, to clarify why I'm asking this, there are tremendous benefits to the United States when we seize other countries' oil assets or force them onto the petrodollar system.
[00:13:03]  I am not suggesting the war is good or that I'm saying it's moral.
[00:13:05]  I'm genuinely asking all of you out there what your thoughts are on what are your deepest concerns, what is really motivating people to be opposed to this.
[00:13:13]  I have my answers.
[00:13:14]  I've given it 800 million times, but I'm curious what you think.
[00:13:17]  A hundred percent.
[00:13:18]  I mean, I think I can speak for the majority of people that.
[00:13:21]  Probably used to be George Bush fans, and then they weren't because, like you said, there was no exit strategy to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
[00:13:32]  There was none.
[00:13:33]  It got us into a 20 year trillion dollar deficit of our country, and the American people don't want a repeat of that.
[00:13:42]  It's those old wounds that we don't want to reopen.
[00:13:47]  And when President Trump was at the forefront of railing against it, Yeah, very people that voted for him don't want to see him fall to the same mistake that George Bush did.
[00:13:58]  I think that's ultimately what it stands for.
[00:13:59]  Yeah, there's like, it's like a tepidness from Trump's administration about acknowledging the military dominance they're aiming at.
[00:14:05]  Like, they don't want to just come out and say, we want to conquer the Middle East.
[00:14:08]  We want to conquer the North so that we can prevent, we can have military hegemony.
[00:14:12]  Like, that'd be much more convincing, to be honest.
[00:14:15]  Yeah.
[00:14:16]  If Trump came out and just said, like, we're going to afford all the oil, Iran's going to bend the knee, or we'll blow them up, I'd be like, wow.
[00:14:22]  But, well, I get it now.
[00:14:24]  And I think that's what really they're trying to go for.
[00:14:27]  But, like you said, we want the clear.
[00:14:29]  It's hard.
[00:14:30]  Do you tell the opposition where the football is going?
[00:14:34]  Do you tell them what your plan is while the American people have to wait to learn that plan?
[00:14:42]  The issue that I see is we are a good people, the American people.
[00:14:48]  We do not want to hurt anybody, we don't want collateral damage.
[00:14:50]  And that makes us very susceptible to propaganda in any direction.
[00:14:54]  The issue is that Trump is unwilling to use these tactics.
[00:14:57]  We heard the story about the Tomahawk missile hitting the school, killing a bunch of schoolgirls.
[00:15:01]  But these are reports coming from Iran largely, and then reports trickle out into various anti war and anti establishment forces so ready to just believe that the U.S. killed a bunch of little girls.
[00:15:11]  Maybe.
[00:15:12]  I've certainly reported on Obama killing a 16 year old American citizen.
[00:15:15]  That was admitted to.
[00:15:16]  The accusations against Trump that a commando raid he ordered in his first term killed an American girl.
[00:15:21]  That was accused.
[00:15:22]  We don't have the evidence or the investigation, but I'd want to see one.
[00:15:25]  Our concerns are that.
[00:15:27]  We don't want to hurt innocent people.
[00:15:29]  We want to stop the bad guys.

=== Sanctions And Civilian Harm (08:19) ===

[00:15:30]  But this means that the bad guys can just come out and be like, oh no, there's a pink backpack in the rubble.
[00:15:34]  That means you killed children.
[00:15:35]  And Americans immediately recoil in horror just believing the bad guys.
[00:15:40]  Again, I'm not saying the story is fake.
[00:15:42]  I'm saying we are incredibly susceptible.
[00:15:44]  And at the same time, you can fall victim to the exact same thing, such as with the Gulf of Tonkin incident, where the U.S. fabricated an attack on one of our warships so that we could justify entering the Vietnam War.
[00:15:54]  There's a line in a lot of movies where it's like heroic.
[00:15:59]  You're like, yeah, yeah, good.
[00:16:00]  We're done.
[00:16:01]  Terrorists will take civilians hostage and be like, do what we say, we're going to kill them all.
[00:16:05]  You're like, what other choice do we have than blowing all of you up at this point?
[00:16:08]  We don't negotiate.
[00:16:09]  That's the right thing to do.
[00:16:10]  I think so.
[00:16:10]  And it's the horrific truth of war.
[00:16:12]  You know, if someone uses humans as shields, they're all going down.
[00:16:15]  And this is the macro of the micro that I've discussed on this show quite a bit.
[00:16:18]  And that is one of my favorite stories in my experience with conflict reporting was that the trainers in our hostile environment course, which you had to get for insurance purposes, stated that Americans largely are fine in the Middle East if you get kidnapped.
[00:16:32]  Once they find out you're an American, they'll usually kick you off and dump you somewhere.
[00:16:36]  Because the American response to a kidnapping is special forces guys in the middle of the night jumping out of a helicopter with night vision goggles and massacring all of the bad guys.
[00:16:45]  Whereas Germany and Spain are notorious for paying any amount of money.
[00:16:49]  So if you are a German in the Middle East working as a journalist, they're happy to see you there.
[00:16:54]  Now, as to your point, Ian, I think with Iran, we're looking at the macro level of that, which is Iran has been bombing civilians.
[00:17:00]  Iran has been the best example of this is the Houthi rebels were armed by Iran and they started launching rockets at civilian cargo ships.
[00:17:09]  That is the, we are going to take your civilians hostage and kill them.
[00:17:14]  And the U.S. response is, you're getting the boot.
[00:17:17]  We're putting the boot down.
[00:17:18]  So I do recognize this.
[00:17:20]  I would say largely, I believe, who was it?
[00:17:23]  Someone mentioned Bill Burr, had a joke where he said, you know, you might say, I don't know if it's the right move to go into Iran and start a war, but no reason.
[00:17:32]  Really?
[00:17:33]  No reason, right?
[00:17:34]  No, really?
[00:17:35]  Of course there's a reason.
[00:17:36]  These people are apocalyptic psychopaths.
[00:17:39]  They've been arming themselves to the teeth for decades instead of taking care of their people, seeking to disrupt international trade, and they've been arming militia groups who kill civilians.
[00:17:48]  And specifically, not just in Iraq, but with the Houthi rebels, you get a cargo ship from like the Philippines trying to sell fish and they blow it up.
[00:17:56]  Hypothetic, there are ships they've blown up.
[00:17:58]  Why would we?
[00:17:59]  There's a certain point at which we say we don't tolerate that.
[00:18:02]  Well, but what is our definition of war?
[00:18:06]  You know, just like you were making the analogy of whatever your Perception is so, for example, let's take China for a second.
[00:18:14]  Certainly, we don't have boots on the ground, certainly, we aren't necessarily launching missiles at each other.
[00:18:21]  We do have at least two boots still on the ground right now.
[00:18:24]  Yeah, China, no, in Iran.
[00:18:26]  You're talking about China, I'm talking about China as an example.
[00:18:29]  So, basically, what I'm saying is, no, no, continue, continue.
[00:18:34]  What I'm saying is, our definition of war doesn't really matter because China is.
[00:18:43]  Is having illegal births in our country because of birthright citizenship.
[00:18:48]  Those illegal aliens are now American.
[00:18:51]  They send them back to China with full voting rights to vote in our elections.
[00:18:56]  Meanwhile, the Chinese government is allowing for the creation of fentanyl, which is killing us.
[00:19:03]  And they also have Confucius Institutes and they are also using TikTok as a propaganda machine against our kids.
[00:19:08]  So, not anymore.
[00:19:11]  I'm blocked on TikTok.
[00:19:13]  TikTok does not allow me to grow.
[00:19:15]  They just shifted control.
[00:19:16]  So all this is now getting sorted out.
[00:19:18]  I've actually talked to some people at TikTok.
[00:19:20]  Well, then I welcome that.
[00:19:22]  But the fact of the matter is, I would argue we are at war with China.
[00:19:26]  And just because there isn't military involvement doesn't mean war isn't there.
[00:19:31]  And my ultimate point is Iran, how do you coexist with people that want you dead?
[00:19:37]  And whether we address it now or whether we address it 150 years from now, it is going to be inevitable.
[00:19:44]  That we come to the term with these people want us dead under the current leadership and administration.
[00:19:50]  You saw the letter from their president?
[00:19:52]  No.
[00:19:52]  He released a letter the other day before Trump gave his speech and he said, We have never, never wanted hostilities with the American people.
[00:19:58]  Yeah, you're chanting death to America in your parliament.
[00:20:01]  Are you kidding?
[00:20:02]  Baloney.
[00:20:02]  Yeah, it's insane.
[00:20:04]  Listen, listen.
[00:20:06]  I have tremendous respect for those who make functional arguments as to why we should not be involved in these incursions, these interventions.
[00:20:12]  And it's because of the risk, the dice roll.
[00:20:14]  We don't know if we can succeed.
[00:20:15]  It is a tremendous undertaking.
[00:20:17]  It's very expensive.
[00:20:18]  It's going to result in civilian death.
[00:20:19]  Do we really want it?
[00:20:20]  The question is you're at a bar and a guy is being a dick and he's splashing a beer in people's face and you're minding your own business.
[00:20:28]  People start complaining.
[00:20:30]  And then eventually someone comes to you and says, Bro, we need your help.
[00:20:32]  Are you going to keep letting him?
[00:20:33]  You're the biggest guy in the bar.
[00:20:34]  Can you do something about this?
[00:20:35]  And you're like, Look, it's not worth getting into a fight.
[00:20:37]  It's going to get bad.
[00:20:38]  The dude walks up to you and starts shoving you and shoving you.
[00:20:41]  There's an argument here.
[00:20:42]  Back off, leave the bar.
[00:20:44]  Bar, everybody leaves, no one's happy, let the guy do what he wants.
[00:20:48]  But at a certain point, that guy puts his hand on a lady.
[00:20:50]  You're not, you're saying, all right, dude, you've had enough, okay?
[00:20:54]  We're throwing you out, we're taking action against you.
[00:20:56]  Now, the question I have for Iran is I do not believe there is any functional argument.
[00:21:01]  I'm talking about the efficiency of war, I am talking about the cost of war.
[00:21:05]  I do not believe there is any functional argument that Iran is innocent.
[00:21:09]  Their government has been heavily militarized.
[00:21:12]  They have been attacking civilians.
[00:21:14]  We've already gone through that.
[00:21:15]  The question is when is it too much for us to bear?
[00:21:18]  They're on the other side of the planet.
[00:21:20]  The issue for the United States, of course, is 20% of global oil trade, for which we are promising you use the petrodollar, we'll police the seas.
[00:21:27]  And Iran is basically leveraging the threats of violence against civilians.
[00:21:32]  It's a hostage situation.
[00:21:33]  And Obama was like, okay, okay, we'll give you a bunch of money.
[00:21:36]  And then Iran's like, okay, and then we'll use that money unfrozen to start building more weapons.
[00:21:41]  So I will say this.
[00:21:43]  I like the masculinity of Trump being like, then you're getting the boot.
[00:21:46]  Like, we've had enough of this.
[00:21:48]  And I think the, I don't think there is a moral argument.
[00:21:52]  I think there is a light moral argument of we may see collateral damage and civilian deaths that exceeds what is necessary and what is acceptable.
[00:22:01]  But morality, in terms of the actions of their government, they have already stepped over the line, justifying someone to stop them.
[00:22:07]  The morality argument is if you took someone's food away and then they started stealing food to survive, and you're like, hey, look, it's a thief.
[00:22:14]  Everyone, destroy the thief.
[00:22:16]  Like, well, you took his food away.
[00:22:17]  And it's the same thing with the Iranian oil supply in the 1990s.
[00:22:20]  But this is completely incorrect.
[00:22:22]  British oil companies and stuff.
[00:22:23]  The Iranians did not need to expend all of their resources over the past 50 years on weapons and missile sites.
[00:22:28]  They could have been making food in factories.
[00:22:31]  And Rubio made a great point.
[00:22:32]  He said, if you want nuclear energy, import the fuel like everybody else and build your sites above ground for everybody to see what you're doing.
[00:22:38]  They're going deep underground and they're enriching uranium themselves.
[00:22:42]  There's only one reason to do that to create military bunkers for this, not for energy.
[00:22:47]  Look.
[00:22:47]  They put out a letter saying, We have never wanted hostilities with America.
[00:22:50]  We have videos of them chanting death to America.
[00:22:55]  There are many Iranians who have fled the country and have attested to this.
[00:22:58]  I am not suggesting.
[00:22:59]  That's very Islamic.
[00:23:00]  We don't want to harm you, but you've backed us into a corner.
[00:23:03]  We haven't done much to harm you.
[00:23:05]  They said, We never wanted to harm you, but we will.
[00:23:07]  That's the Islamic tradition.
[00:23:09]  Despite the fact they've been chanting death to America.
[00:23:11]  The point is, we do put sanctions on them.
[00:23:13]  But, bro, sanctions are the acceptable, above board, by any stretch of the imagination, military action that a country should take.
[00:23:20]  That is, Ian, if you're smacking people around, the first thing I'm going to do is be like, bro, if you keep doing this, I'm not going to trade with you anymore.
[00:23:28]  That's how remarkable is it that there are anti intervention people that are angry that we sanctioned Iran and they're using that as justification.
[00:23:36]  Well, of course, Iran lashed out.
[00:23:38]  We sanctioned them.
[00:23:38]  It's like, yeah, they're fundamentalists that have been blowing people up and bombing embassies and fueling militia groups.
[00:23:45]  So we just said, okay, everybody, back off.
[00:23:47]  Don't give them stuff because they're going to blow you up with it.

=== Asylum Laws In Hawaii (15:25) ===

[00:23:50]  And then people got mad about that.
[00:23:52]  And they said, well, you're sanctioning them.
[00:23:54]  What do you think they're going to do?
[00:23:55]  The idea that the only solution to sanctions.
[00:23:59]  To attack the United States is a terrible argument.
[00:24:03]  Like, you can actually try to do business with the United States.
[00:24:07]  The U.S., if Iran complied with some of the things that the United States was asking for, they would lift sanctions.
[00:24:14]  Look at the option or the argument that, well, of course they're going to attack.
[00:24:18]  It's like, why are they going to attack the United States?
[00:24:20]  The United States is the most powerful military in the world.
[00:24:23]  Look at what Obama did.
[00:24:24]  He said, unfreeze the assets, let them have the money.
[00:24:27]  What did they do with it?
[00:24:28]  Weapons.
[00:24:29]  Yeah, that's what bombs.
[00:24:30]  Neville Chamberlain did with the Nazis.
[00:24:32]  Appeasement, they called it.
[00:24:33]  He tried to appease them.
[00:24:35]  Neville Chamberlain gave Hitler the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia.
[00:24:38]  But Hitler just built up the army.
[00:24:40]  And then, of course.
[00:24:40]  Let's bring this back home.
[00:24:41]  Let's bring this back home.
[00:24:42]  We've got this story from a couple days ago.
[00:24:44]  JD Vance.
[00:24:46]  Ilhan Omar, quote, definitely committed immigration fraud.
[00:24:50]  This is from a few days ago.
[00:24:51]  It was on the Benny Show, and it's massive.
[00:24:53]  He says, Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.
[00:24:56]  She has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters at the center of the Somali community.
[00:25:00]  Now, the reason why I use this story, even though it's from a few days ago, is because birthright citizenship is a massive story right now.
[00:25:05]  Yes.
[00:25:06]  Considering it's looking as though it's a surprise.
[00:25:08]  The Supreme Court will be derelict in their duties and allow this country to falter.
[00:25:13]  We have knowingly a sitting member of Congress that our vice president has said, yes, she committed immigration fraud against the United States.
[00:25:23]  For the love of all that is holy, the vice president just said a sitting member of Congress is defrauding us and is not a legal representative in Congress.
[00:25:34]  What, if anything, is to be done about that?
[00:25:36]  Hopefully, the new AG will do something about it.
[00:25:39]  I just don't believe it.
[00:25:40]  But there's got to be, if she's.
[00:25:41]  Wait, what did JD Vance say exactly?
[00:25:44]  Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States.
[00:25:49]  Subject to the INA, she can be denaturalized and deported.
[00:25:52]  Wow.
[00:25:53]  That's the vice president stating as fact a sitting member of Congress is fraudulently here and ineligible to hold a seat in Congress.
[00:26:05]  And this comes after just two weeks ago.
[00:26:09]  The House of Representatives voted on a piece of legislation that you could deport criminal illegal aliens that had defrauded our government, you know, like in Minnesota.
[00:26:20]  And I think it was something like 165 or 186, one of those numbers.
[00:26:25]  The Democrats voted against the deportation of people that committed fraud.
[00:26:30]  So this definitely tracks.
[00:26:32]  Well, why don't we see the action?
[00:26:35]  Is it because people like Pam Bondi needed to be fired?
[00:26:37]  It could be.
[00:26:39]  I don't know for sure, obviously, but I really, really hope.
[00:26:43]  That the new AG picks up like and does 10 times what Pam Bondi was doing.
[00:26:50]  There should be investigation.
[00:26:51]  People are commenting on your accent.
[00:26:52]  Oh, gosh.
[00:26:56]  Are they?
[00:26:56]  Yeah.
[00:26:57]  I think they're afraid.
[00:26:58]  I think they're afraid of what the response will be.
[00:27:02]  Look, the American people voted for deportation 100% and not just legal aliens, but all illegal aliens.
[00:27:11]  If you're here in our country illegally, we want you deported.
[00:27:14]  Yeah.
[00:27:14]  And when people in our administration go saft on the issues, that's when people lose the support.
[00:27:20]  And I think people, some, are afraid of the PR war that will be weaponized by Somali immigrant women.
[00:27:31]  And they're going to try to make this a race baiting, misogynistic issue, in my opinion.
[00:27:37]  Maybe he waits.
[00:27:38]  Maybe he waits.
[00:27:39]  Maybe he waits till after the midterms.
[00:27:41]  I don't think so.
[00:27:42]  One of the things that's necessary to save America.
[00:27:45]  Is for people, that for most people to stop worrying about if they're called racist.
[00:27:50]  Do the right thing.
[00:27:51]  Yeah, because it's right.
[00:27:52]  Yeah, if you, if there's substance well, here's to whatever you're.
[00:27:55]  If there's substance to whatever you're you're talking about, like specific, specifically Ilhan Omar, there's substance.
[00:28:01]  There has nothing to do with the fact that she's she's.
[00:28:03]  No, it has nothing to do with the fact that she's Somali.
[00:28:06]  It has to do with the fact that she probably broke the law.
[00:28:08]  That's why there should be an investigation.
[00:28:10]  There's a.
[00:28:10]  There was a criminal trial just recently concluded in New York where a cop killer was acquitted of first degree murder.
[00:28:16]  Yeah, The cop opened the passenger door.
[00:28:18]  They were ordering the man out of the vehicle.
[00:28:20]  He refused.
[00:28:20]  They opened the passenger door, and the guy pulls a gun, a.380, and shoots him in the abdomen.
[00:28:26]  The officer then grabs the gun and then collapses.
[00:28:29]  The shot ruptured his iliac vein, I think it's called.
[00:28:32]  I'm not a doctor, which is, it connects to the aorta and he bled out and died.
[00:28:36]  So he goes to trial and the jury says not guilty of first degree murder.
[00:28:41]  First degree murder is intending to kill a person and killing that person.
[00:28:44]  And then it's aggravated for if they are a public servant, police, EMT, et cetera.
[00:28:50]  So it's clear cut.
[00:28:51]  We know he did it.
[00:28:52]  The question then is why did they acquit him on first degree?
[00:28:57]  Now he got manslaughter.
[00:28:58]  An attempted murder on another cop because then he turns the gun to another cop and click and the gun doesn't fire point blank at the chest.
[00:29:04]  So, what is it all about?
[00:29:06]  Well, the speculation is that the jury, based on race, wanted to acquit the guy.
[00:29:11]  Wow.
[00:29:12]  You take a look at the BLM stuff, and I got to be honest.
[00:29:14]  You get a story of a black man who shoots and kills a cop.
[00:29:17]  I believe if you get an all black jury, there will be individuals who believe in merit and are not racist for sure.
[00:29:25]  But you will have, at the macro level, a high propensity towards we know the cops are evil, we know they're racist, so he must have been justified in some way.
[00:29:33]  I contrasted that data with the election in Chicago in 2023 for Brandon Johnson.
[00:29:38]  And I've brought this up time and time again, but take a look at the voting map compared to the racial demographics.
[00:29:43]  Everyone in Chicago voted based on race.
[00:29:45]  So when you take a look at what's going on with the Somali stuff with Ilhan Omar, you make an interesting point about how they'll make it a race thing.
[00:29:52]  They will.
[00:29:53]  And white liberals will side with any group that claims racism against Trump, and they'll use that to swing as many seats as possible in the midterms.
[00:30:01]  Yeah, it's not that I'm afraid.
[00:30:03]  Like you were saying, of the response, it's more of a concern for the resistance because just like terminal velocity, you go faster and faster and faster.
[00:30:13]  Wind resistance gets hotter and hotter to a point where you cannot go faster.
[00:30:16]  The heat itself will stop you and then destroy you if you push any harder, like a rocket in re entry if it's going too fast.
[00:30:22]  So, the same thing with the mass deportations of dragging people out of their houses, like that level of heat resistance will destroy you if you overdo it.
[00:30:30]  So, you've got to be aware that in cases like this with Ilhan, she's very popular with some.
[00:30:35]  People.
[00:30:35]  She's very popular with the Somalis that she represents, but that doesn't change the fact that she's broken a law.
[00:30:41]  It's just part of a calculation.
[00:30:42]  I'm not saying it shouldn't happen.
[00:30:43]  I'm just saying that's part of the calculation.
[00:30:45]  A system that is incapable of protecting itself is a system that shall not exist.
[00:30:50]  However, she nearly lost her primary in recent memory.
[00:30:55]  She only came very close to winning her primary.
[00:30:59]  So she's not as popular.
[00:31:00]  And actually, I would argue if we have definitive proof, share it.
[00:31:05]  And not only that, but because of the work that Nick Shirley has done to show all of the fraud in Minnesota, I actually think this really helps us.
[00:31:13]  And furthermore, this comes from the state.
[00:31:15]  We want to talk, you know, election integrity and everything else, where they have vouching in the state that one registered voter can vouch for up to eight persons without voter ID, proof of citizenship, proof of address, whatever.
[00:31:27]  And so I actually think this could be a winning argument, focusing on the fraud argument aspect of it.
[00:31:34]  I think the majority of people are actually with us on this.
[00:31:38]  Yeah, there's evidence.
[00:31:39]  I mean, if there's evidence, it's cut and dry.
[00:31:41]  Show the American people.
[00:31:42]  Get it on every podcast, every news organization out there.
[00:31:48]  So, real quick, just put a pin.
[00:31:50]  Don't forget what you're going to say because we have an update.
[00:31:53]  A Black Hawk was hit.
[00:31:55]  Everybody's fine.
[00:31:56]  A Black Hawk, I'm assuming it was a rescue operations in Iran, was hit, but is fine.
[00:32:01]  There's no injuries.
[00:32:02]  It didn't go down?
[00:32:02]  Did it go down?
[00:32:04]  The update so far doesn't say anything.
[00:32:06]  Is this the back door to get boots on the ground?
[00:32:08]  Oops.
[00:32:08]  We have no choice now.
[00:32:09]  Our men.
[00:32:10]  While conducting rescue operations, it was hit, but everyone is safe and accounted for.
[00:32:15]  And it was tailed by a trail of smoke as it crossed into southern Iraq from Iran.
[00:32:18]  So, it seems To be okay, but that's the latest update.
[00:32:20]  But go back to the point you were going to make.
[00:32:21]  Well, it was just that why I'm a little concerned that JD Vance made a definitive statement about.
[00:32:26]  Oh, bro, come on.
[00:32:27]  Without evidence.
[00:32:28]  No, the evidence has been for years.
[00:32:30]  Even the Star Tribune.
[00:32:31]  Show it or something.
[00:32:32]  Yes.
[00:32:32]  Look it up, Ian.
[00:32:33]  It's been there for years.
[00:32:34]  Well, he's speaking in an interview.
[00:32:36]  He's not going to show up to an interview and ask a question and then be like, let me.
[00:32:39]  I prepared for this question.
[00:32:40]  I knew you were going to ask me.
[00:32:41]  Star Tribune even said, this is a liberal paper, that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother.
[00:32:46]  Like, the point being, there is evidence.
[00:32:49]  Evidence is not proof.
[00:32:50]  These are distinct.
[00:32:52]  Evidence presents itself to be beyond a reasonable doubt, then we would call it proof.
[00:32:57]  But typically, proof means you can definitively state it's a fact.
[00:33:00]  Most instances, you have evidence, and then we try to interpret that to see if we believe it to be true.
[00:33:06]  In this case, there is a ton of evidence she married her brother, which would make her ineligible for citizenship and eligible for denaturalization, deportation, and removal from Congress.
[00:33:20]  Talk about the Blackhawk.
[00:33:21]  What was it?
[00:33:21]  Boy, he is.
[00:33:22]  Oh, you go, you go.
[00:33:23]  That Blackhawk thing freaked me out when you said that Blackhawk got hit.
[00:33:25]  Well, it's more, bro.
[00:33:27]  Yeah, I mean, look, as much as I hope that the pilots are safe and that they're returned without any injury, if possible, same thing with anyone that was on the Blackhawk.
[00:33:39]  Trump has been talking about the possibility of casualties in this operation since day one, since he started it.
[00:33:46]  Indeed.
[00:33:47]  This is a serious, like Iran is a serious enemy.
[00:33:50]  And what we should do.
[00:33:51]  Is pass a law that anyone who enters this country illegally will be deported to whatever war zone we are actively fighting in.
[00:34:00]  I mean, I gotta be honest.
[00:34:03]  If we passed a law that said anyone who illegally enters the United States will be deported immediately to any active war zone with U.S. engagement or any active conflict zone for U.S. engagement to aid the U.S., illegal immigration would be just gone overnight.
[00:34:21]  We wouldn't need a border barrier.
[00:34:24]  You could actually have people at the border saying, Come on, come on over.
[00:34:28]  We need the people in Iran to go fight.
[00:34:29]  We need someone.
[00:34:30]  We want to take Ukraine?
[00:34:31]  Well, all right.
[00:34:32]  I think we got 10 million illegal immigrants.
[00:34:35]  You know, but all joking aside, this is why the Congress, a couple members of the House did propose a bill that these illegal immigrants could serve the U.S. military and then gain citizenship.
[00:34:47]  Because it might happen.
[00:34:49]  With all this conversation about a draft, I only need to say this to my Gen Z friends.
[00:34:52]  Don't worry, they're going to draft the Hondurans and the Guatemalans before you.
[00:34:56]  And hopefully send the robots.
[00:34:59]  And on our message on deterrence, I just want to say I recently went down to McAllen, Texas, and I did shadowing of CBP and Border Patrol.
[00:35:08]  And it truly down in McAllen, they have a sector down there that used to see 2,500 illegal alien apprehensions per day.
[00:35:17]  And that is now down to 60.
[00:35:20]  Now, here's the difference between the previous administration and now, kind of like what you said.
[00:35:24]  If everything is just rewarded and you know you're going to get a slap on the wrist, then things are going to keep happening.
[00:35:29]  Now, as opposed to illegal aliens who are released into the interior, and of course they wouldn't come back for their court case because why would they?
[00:35:37]  Every illegal alien that is caught.
[00:35:40]  Is no longer released on the interior that is deported back to their home country.
[00:35:43]  And so they will still try to come back, but they said it's night and day between people wanted to be captured knowing they would be released.
[00:35:54]  Now they don't want to be captured because we have Department of War, Coast Guard, local law enforcement, CBP all working in unison.
[00:36:04]  So this is a little nuanced to read in between the lines.
[00:36:07]  When the Democrats don't want to fund Coast Guard, Or ICE, et cetera, or Department of Homeland Security when we're under attack, know that it all is stemming from their goal of trying to bring illegal aliens into the country so they can defraud us and ultimately have them vote in our elections.
[00:36:26]  It all is tying together with the Democrats.
[00:36:29]  Yeah, I did like this.
[00:36:30]  Has been the policy that Democrats want for ages and ages.
[00:36:34]  They want us, they actually want to change the makeup of the electorate in the United States.
[00:36:38]  They've been doing it through the refugee resettlement program.
[00:36:41]  Yes, we're doing it with Minnesota.
[00:36:43]  Yeah, in Minnesota.
[00:36:44]  They were doing it with the asylum laws.
[00:36:48]  You're not supposed to be able to get asylum in the U.S. unless you're from Canada or from Mexico.
[00:36:55]  Asylum laws are you stop at the first safe country.
[00:36:58]  The U.S. shouldn't be flying people from overseas to the United States for asylum.
[00:37:05]  They should go to the first place that's safe for them to stay.
[00:37:08]  That's the asylum laws.
[00:37:09]  Anyone that's here that claims that they're an asylee that isn't Canadian or Mexican, they're subject to deportation because they broke asylum laws.
[00:37:17]  What about like.
[00:37:18]  Polynesians that land in Hawaii.
[00:37:21]  Is that does that happen?
[00:37:22]  Like, no, the first place is one of the islands or something.
[00:37:25]  No, it doesn't happen because I'm Japanese people.
[00:37:29]  Do you mean they'll go to Japan?
[00:37:30]  Go into Hawaii?
[00:37:31]  There's a lot, there's a lot more places that are closer than Hawaii.
[00:37:34]  And also, you know, you have to if you're being persecuted, right?
[00:37:39]  The reason for asylum is you're being politically persecuted, right?
[00:37:42]  The government is after you for whatever you have the wrong religion, you have the wrong politics, whatever.
[00:37:47]  There aren't any islands if I that I'm aware of where that happens.
[00:37:52]  Where the closest island to them would be Hawaii.
[00:37:54]  Hawaii is literally in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
[00:37:57]  Oh, they'll still make it closest geographically.
[00:37:58]  They'll be like, hey, there's other islands.
[00:38:00]  Yeah, it should be the closest place that you can get to that doesn't persecute you.
[00:38:04]  Yeah, too much of the last 15 years has been economic asylees that are like, hey, it was hard to get a job back home.
[00:38:09]  And you're like, bro, that's not an emergency.
[00:38:11]  That's not a reason.
[00:38:12]  That's what Europe is.
[00:38:13]  Yeah, that's true.
[00:38:14]  And then they lie.
[00:38:15]  But I will tell you, when I went to Europe and interviewed a ton of these guys, they were like, it was a huge mistake.
[00:38:19]  There's no opportunity for them.
[00:38:21]  So I was in France and we went to a refugee center, gigantic inflatable tent.
[00:38:27]  And they made them all live.
[00:38:28]  Like, imagine you have a gigantic.
[00:38:30]  Remember when we were kids?
[00:38:31]  You did the thing where you get the big parachute and everyone throws it.
[00:38:34]  You go underneath it.
[00:38:35]  Imagine there's a pump just holding it up and that's where you have to live from now on.
[00:38:39]  And there's no chairs, there's no beds.
[00:38:41]  That's what they said it was like.
[00:38:43]  And they're like, there's no opportunity to make money, there's no jobs.
[00:38:46]  They were like, we were tricked.
[00:38:47]  We were told by people, come here and there will be jobs and homes.
[00:38:50]  And you come here and there's nothing.
[00:38:51]  And they're like, now we don't know how to get back.
[00:38:53]  It's too cold.
[00:38:54]  The funniest thing, and I don't mean funny, haha, for a lot of these sub Saharan African migrants who make it to Europe, They've never experienced winter before.
[00:39:02]  And so it's like going to hell.
[00:39:04]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:39:06]  They're like, I've never worn a coat.
[00:39:07]  I've never seen snow and it's freezing outside.
[00:39:10]  Yes, the absence of God's love is a winter up north.
[00:39:15]  Let's jump to the story.

=== Police Body Camera Footage (15:56) ===

[00:39:16]  We've got this one from the DOJ.
[00:39:17]  This is huge.
[00:39:19]  Justice Department secures the denaturalization of convicted gun trafficker and healthcare fraudster and files complaint against marriage scammer.
[00:39:28]  There you go.
[00:39:29]  This is big.
[00:39:29]  American citizenship is a sacred privilege, not a cheap status that can be obtained, honestly.
[00:39:33]  said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.
[00:39:36]  Well, about her.
[00:39:37]  These actions reflect this Department of Justice's ongoing efforts to strip citizenship from people who conceal crimes or defraud the American people during the immigration process.
[00:39:45]  Oh boy, sounds like Ilhan Omar's in trouble.
[00:39:48]  I mean, that's, it would be nice to see, but this is also nice to see the precedent set that there is legitimate ways to denaturalize people that have come to the United States, even if they got, you know, they can be denaturalized just because you're a citizen.
[00:40:02]  You came here, you broke the law, or somehow you came here and committed fraud to get here.
[00:40:08]  You should be denaturalized.
[00:40:09]  You should lose your spot here.
[00:40:10]  And you should be sent back to wherever you came from.
[00:40:13]  Yeah, I think the issue is, especially as we're talking about self identification as Republican is going down, I think a lot has to do with the agitprop, all of the stuff that was produced by the left targeting the ICE operations.
[00:40:27]  I was not the only one who warned about this.
[00:40:28]  We all talked about it that if Trump gets in and the immigration operations are dudes in uniforms with guns dragging people out of houses or cars while they're crying and screaming, Ayutthaya, he's going to lose support instantly.
[00:40:40]  And I was like, you got to have dudes in khakis and polo shirts bringing these people to cars.
[00:40:45]  And that's the only way to do it.
[00:40:47]  And unfortunately, some of these guys are bad guys.
[00:40:49]  Well, like even Dave's pointing this out, where we had our little mini fake fight and then agreed.
[00:40:56]  This is fueling propaganda for the left to take away Trump's chances at actually solving the problem.
[00:41:02]  And I think that's where we're at right now.
[00:41:04]  Millions of criminals, evil people exploiting our laws, and regular people in this country who don't pay attention only see the worst of it.
[00:41:12]  This is why I think, you know, there's a lot of lefties that they want the martyrdom when it comes to, you know, fighting with a cop or getting killed.
[00:41:20]  Because I got to be honest, Renee Good and Pretty, their deaths are probably a huge contributor to why people say they're not Republicans anymore.
[00:41:28]  And it's because they're scared of being aligned with a law enforcement agency that, for any reason, killed two American protesters.
[00:41:35]  That kind of blows my mind.
[00:41:36]  I mean, I understand that you don't want to endorse innocent people's death, but those two people in particular.
[00:41:44]  Like, if they had complied with the lawful orders of law enforcement, they would be alive.
[00:41:50]  And the issue is there's a guy who works at a pub in down on Chicago who doesn't watch the news and watches sports.
[00:41:56]  And he's not really political, but people are like, Ice just killed some lady sitting in her car.
[00:42:01]  And he's going, Oh, jeez, I didn't want to vote for that.
[00:42:04]  About doing what's right.
[00:42:05]  Sometimes public perception is different than reality.
[00:42:08]  And so, what's right, you have to kind of align with the public's perception in order to manipulate and control, to win, and to manipulate the public if you want to change the public.
[00:42:18]  And so, doing what's right sometimes can be viscerally wrong.
[00:42:21]  You know, what's universally right, what's spiritually right is actually wrong.
[00:42:24]  Perception is reality.
[00:42:26]  Yeah.
[00:42:26]  So, you got to, it's so weird.
[00:42:27]  You got to like dip down into the mud to fix the system.
[00:42:30]  Too many people.
[00:42:31]  That's the importance of psychological warfare.
[00:42:33]  Too many people think that.
[00:42:33]  And Trump's not willing to engage in it.
[00:42:35]  Yeah.
[00:42:36]  Too many people think that nice is equivalent to good.
[00:42:39]  And that's not the case at all.
[00:42:40]  Like, you have to do, or nice is equivalent with right.
[00:42:44]  That's not the case.
[00:42:45]  Like, you have to do the things that are good for your society and the things that are right for your society.
[00:42:50]  Sometimes those things are not nice.
[00:42:52]  In fact, most of the time they're not nice.
[00:42:54]  Well, I mean, think about it this way a kid misbehaves, and so one parent says, We're going to take away his toys and ground them.
[00:43:00]  And the other parent goes, No, no, no, no, just tell him we'll give him ice cream if he agrees to behave.
[00:43:05]  Which one is actually going to benefit the kid?
[00:43:08]  The merciless beating, of course, option C.
[00:43:10]  Well, the best thing that could help the kid is a unified front between the parents.
[00:43:14]  There should never be division between the parents.
[00:43:16]  I'm saying just whip that hand back and whack one time and that kid'll never miss a fight.
[00:43:20]  That's tough love.
[00:43:20]  You're right.
[00:43:21]  You're right.
[00:43:21]  That's wrong.
[00:43:22]  You got to get a sack of sweet Valencia oranges because it won't leave a bruise.
[00:43:25]  I think that taking.
[00:43:26]  Family guy joke.
[00:43:27]  You know, tough love is important.
[00:43:29]  I wonder about like the art of war.
[00:43:31]  Is the Trump administration pretending to be strong because they're weak?
[00:43:35]  Like, are they just blatantly saying they're strong because they're weak?
[00:43:37]  No, I think it looks like they're pretending to be weak.
[00:43:40]  Really?
[00:43:40]  Yeah.
[00:43:42]  I don't think a weak administration would capture Maduro and eliminate Kymeni.
[00:43:49]  But I want to go back for a second.
[00:43:51]  If they were weak, they would have just been a continuation of the President Obama and Joe Biden administration and just give Palace of Cash to our enemies and kick the cane down the road.
[00:44:01]  I don't think it's good to say drive, baby, drive and try to drive over a police officer.
[00:44:07]  And I think the only reason why we're seeing the ICE protests today is because of Nick Shirley exposing the fraud in Minnesota.
[00:44:13]  And they needed a massive distraction away from the fraud.
[00:44:18]  And unfortunately, we're giving it to them.
[00:44:20]  We're allowing them to protest against ICE.
[00:44:23]  And now, from what we hear, is that we're ceasing some of our operations and we're not going to get all the deportations that we want.
[00:44:30]  So we're allowing them to win.
[00:44:32]  If anything, I say go harder.
[00:44:35]  And what we need to do is we need a league of people out with their cameras.
[00:44:40]  And I'm not saying I want a police state, but Kyle Rittenhouse would not be a free man today.
[00:44:46]  If we didn't have video recording of him defending himself, every time there's a raid, every time ICE is out there, DHS, they need drones filming everything to protect ourselves.
[00:44:59]  But it's not just that, the psychological component is one of the most important, and it's what they do not know how to do.
[00:45:05]  You send out, so here's the reality you want to win this one?
[00:45:09]  ICE agents need to be wearing polo shirts with badges over and khakis.
[00:45:15]  And then people say, but some of these people are criminals with guns.
[00:45:19]  Here's the reality.
[00:45:20]  You send out a bunch of dudes with helmets, armor, and guns, and the public will vote against you.
[00:45:26]  You send out a bunch of dudes in khakis and polo shirts, and the public will support you.
[00:45:30]  But this means that those troops, those, those, I shouldn't say troops, but those law enforcement officers are vulnerable.
[00:45:36]  Indeed, here's the other dark reality.
[00:45:38]  When an armed, armored federal agent is faced with a threat and shoots and kills the other person, everyone will vote to strip your power from you.
[00:45:50]  A khaki pants and a polo shirt is shot and killed and rammed by an ICE agent, they will double your budget.
[00:45:57]  So, perception is reality.
[00:45:59]  You understand, Ian?
[00:46:00]  You have a little confused.
[00:46:01]  What was the last thing you said?
[00:46:01]  You said if an ICE agent gets rammed by an ICE agent, what did you?
[00:46:05]  By an illegal immigrant or criminal.
[00:46:07]  Sorry.
[00:46:07]  Yeah.
[00:46:08]  Then the people will double your budget.
[00:46:09]  Yeah, the way that if an ICE agent went out and was on video, knocking on a door or pulling a car over and saying, look, we have an order for deportation, and then the guy pulls out a gun and shoots him and he falls back and dies.
[00:46:23]  The entire country would flip Republican, like it would be spiking like crazy.
[00:46:27]  And Trump would come out and say, This was a peaceful civil operation, and these criminal cartels are killing our brave men and women in uniform who have shown nothing but kindness and restraint.
[00:46:38]  Instead, we have the opposite.
[00:46:40]  Regardless of what you think about the law, I believe the federal agents are being protected and they are justified.
[00:46:45]  And we've already talked to great length about Pretty and Renee Goode, but the perception of the moderate voter who doesn't pay attention to what's going on is that Jack Boot.
[00:46:55]  Gestapo went out and just massacred people, and they are going to vote against you, and you will lose your power.
[00:47:02]  Pick your poison.
[00:47:03]  The world, like, it is only those who live in the fairy tale reality that think that life is going to be just clear cut.
[00:47:11]  Everything's going to be easy and above board.
[00:47:12]  Yeah, everything's trade offs.
[00:47:14]  The idea, you know, Thomas Sowell says it the best.
[00:47:17]  He says that, you know, there are no answers.
[00:47:20]  There are just trade offs.
[00:47:21]  You get more of one thing that you like at the expense of less of something else that you like, and vice versa.
[00:47:28]  My concern about like arming up the ice agents, giving the masks is like the first step towards stormtrooper armor because you want to protect.
[00:47:36]  Their identity, but then you have stormtroopers.
[00:47:39]  What's the problem?
[00:47:40]  What do you mean by stormtrooper?
[00:47:42]  Like they're all masked and you don't know who's who.
[00:47:43]  No one has accountability.
[00:47:45]  They all have badges with badge numbers on them.
[00:47:48]  The stormtroopers?
[00:47:48]  Oh, no, you're talking about, well, they don't.
[00:47:50]  I see.
[00:47:50]  You get to the point where they don't because they're totally.
[00:47:52]  He's arguing that you get to that point, this is the first step that eventually you end up with unnamed, unaccountable police, and I agree.
[00:48:00]  Yeah.
[00:48:00]  And David Ellison, like you were saying, Scott, about observing the battlefield, about having basically spy tech, drones patrolling.
[00:48:08]  And David Ellison, who.
[00:48:10]  His son, or I'm sorry, Larry Ellison, whose son bought TikTok, David Ellison.
[00:48:14]  Larry Ellison is the owner of Oracle, or he's the VP of Oracle, whatever he was at Oracle, one of the richest men in the world.
[00:48:20]  He wants a totalitarian police state where we, he thinks, there's actually a crazy quote by Larry Ellison.
[00:48:26]  When did he say that?
[00:48:27]  Oh, this is a great quote.
[00:48:28]  He's on stage and he says, like, we need to protect, see if you can pull this up.
[00:48:33]  Larry Ellison.
[00:48:34]  Let's find it.
[00:48:35]  Yeah, you got it.
[00:48:37]  Is that police state?
[00:48:38]  He said, we need like a surveillance.
[00:48:40]  Surveillance.
[00:48:40]  Look for Larry Ellison.
[00:48:41]  Oh, because that's the default.
[00:48:44]  Total surveillance.
[00:48:45]  You'll see him sitting on stage when he says it.
[00:48:47]  This?
[00:48:48]  Prep, that's it.
[00:48:49]  Let's see what this is crazy.
[00:48:51]  Will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording, watching, and recording everything that's going on.
[00:48:58]  Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on.
[00:49:07]  And it's unimpeachable.
[00:49:10]  The cars have cameras on them.
[00:49:13]  I think we have a squad car here someplace.
[00:49:16]  But those kind of applications using AI, if we can use AI, and we're using AI to monitor the video.
[00:49:23]  So if that altercation had occurred, that occurred in Memphis, the chief of police would be immediately notified.
[00:49:30]  It's not people that are looking at those cameras.
[00:49:32]  It's AI that's looking at the camera.
[00:49:34]  No, no, no.
[00:49:35]  You can't do this.
[00:49:36]  It would be like a shooting.
[00:49:37]  That's going to be immediately, that's going to be an event that's immediately, an alarm is going to go off.
[00:49:42]  It's going to be, and we're going to have supervision.
[00:49:47]  In other words, every police officer is going to be supervised at all times.
[00:49:53]  This is the, you know what is, real quick, just to address this, he's completely incorrect.
[00:49:58]  Apparently, Larry is not a deeply political individual.
[00:50:02]  And I think that's why he's been late to the game.
[00:50:04]  Famously, he's purchased CBS.
[00:50:06]  They may be doing a hostile bid to take over, I think, Warner Brothers.
[00:50:10]  Is that what it was?
[00:50:10]  Yeah, Netflix, and they were fighting over it.
[00:50:13]  And one may ask why it is now, after all this time, many of these prominent billionaires have all of a sudden understood why woke is so dangerous and why you need to support against it.
[00:50:24]  If he had been actively paying attention to what was going on, he would know what Scott Adams said with one screen featuring two movies.
[00:50:31]  That is, you will have surveillance footage from 12 angles.
[00:50:35]  Of, say, the George Floyd incident.
[00:50:38]  And it won't matter.
[00:50:40]  There will be no clean justification on either side.
[00:50:43]  There will be people who say, I don't care.
[00:50:46]  I see what Chauvin did.
[00:50:47]  He shouldn't have.
[00:50:48]  And other people going, Chauvin showed up after the fact.
[00:50:51]  How is he supposed to know?
[00:50:52]  And it won't matter because opinions are going to exist whether people can see the footage or not.
[00:50:58]  Yeah, I think this adherence to totalitarian observation police state is not the answer.
[00:51:04]  But my concern is that people start to ask for it because they're like, we need surveillance to stop this threat.
[00:51:09]  We need this.
[00:51:11]  People don't ask for it, they just get it because it comes in their cell phone.
[00:51:15]  Well, I pitched it.
[00:51:17]  I did say when we're doing operations as protection for our force to be able to say, no, this is what actually happened versus allowing the court of public opinion to then.
[00:51:29]  Didn't matter.
[00:51:29]  We have video of Renee Good's tires accelerating towards the officer.
[00:51:33]  My baby drive.
[00:51:35]  Exactly.
[00:51:35]  The wheels spin towards the officer but skid out on the ice.
[00:51:39]  Then he opens fire.
[00:51:42]  It doesn't matter what actually happened.
[00:51:44]  There are people who are like, don't know, don't care.
[00:51:46]  You're right.
[00:51:46]  There are people whose opinion is, even if he was going to get hit, he shouldn't have shot her.
[00:51:52]  And liberals will tell you that.
[00:51:54]  Then there are conservatives who would say, as soon as she put the car into drive, before she even accelerated, he should have stopped her.
[00:52:02]  I love police cam body footage.
[00:52:04]  I do.
[00:52:05]  I think it's really helped kind of balance out society, but I don't know.
[00:52:10]  If it goes too far, I guess it goes back out of balance.
[00:52:13]  I want to be able to take a crap in public and not get a ticket, you know?
[00:52:16]  What?
[00:52:16]  I didn't mean to say that out loud.
[00:52:18]  I think what we need is we need body camera footage, and I like people filming cops because cops should be held to a higher standard than the average person.
[00:52:32]  So we expect them to do a dangerous job.
[00:52:35]  We expect them to be respected for doing that job.
[00:52:37]  I certainly do.
[00:52:38]  But we also expect that if a cop is a dick or a corrupt, they will be held to a great degree of account.
[00:52:46]  For example, with all this talk about surveillance and stuff, I was watching a video today where a couple videos.
[00:52:52]  And it's like there's a video, it's an old one, it goes viral all the time, where a guy flips a cop off.
[00:52:58]  So the cop pulls him over and says, You're out of the vehicle, you're under arrest for disorderly conduct.
[00:53:03]  And the guy is like, I did not commit a crime.
[00:53:06]  And the cop grabs his arm and twists it.
[00:53:08]  And pulls him out of the vehicle.
[00:53:10]  Okay, that cop should go to jail.
[00:53:11]  That's just it.
[00:53:12]  Sorry, should go to jail.
[00:53:15]  It goes both ways.
[00:53:16]  The funny thing I will say, though, everybody thought the police body camera campaign was a leftist campaign.
[00:53:24]  It was not, it was a police propaganda campaign.
[00:53:29]  Apparently, the story is that pro police groups and unions were trying to get body cameras, and the city would not fund them.
[00:53:39]  So, they approached it from the outside saying cops are bad and have to be filmed to force activists to demand the budget for body cameras, when in fact, almost all body camera footage has been vindicating police officers and proving that they're not the ones committing the crimes.
[00:53:57]  There are women who have accused.
[00:53:59]  There was one story where a woman accused a cop of sexually assaulting her, but it's all on body camera footage, and nope.
[00:54:03]  Now she gets an additional charge.
[00:54:05]  If there was no body camera footage, that cop would have been fired.
[00:54:07]  Yep.
[00:54:08]  Yeah.
[00:54:09]  I mean, body cameras are.
[00:54:11]  I think they've always been a reasonable demand.
[00:54:14]  And I think that, just like Tim said, the police wanted them because it shows that generally most police are actually doing the job, doing a very difficult job to the best of their ability.
[00:54:26]  About a decade ago, I started calling for body cams on soldiers in war because I want to see what they're doing to people.
[00:54:32]  And I want to see if they get killed, I want to listen to their voices.
[00:54:35]  They're laying there screaming so that we have less war.
[00:54:37]  But at the same time, how can we fight and win a war if everyone's like, oh my God, look what our soldiers are doing?
[00:54:42]  Look at the 30%. friendly fire casualty rate.
[00:54:45]  Look at the doors getting kicked.
[00:54:50]  That's why psychological operations are so important.
[00:54:53]  There's more.
[00:54:53]  We've got this.
[00:54:54]  This is the full video, I think.
[00:54:55]  This is from, it looks like a year and a half ago.
[00:54:58]  Your body cams will be transmitting that.
[00:55:00]  The police will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording, watching, and recording everything that's going on.
[00:55:09]  Citizens will be on their best behavior.
[00:55:10]  Let's jump forwards.
[00:55:11]  We heard this already.

=== AI Free Parks Needed (04:32) ===

[00:55:12]  You have to take all of your healthcare data, your diagnostic data, your electronic health records, your genomic data.
[00:55:20]  And in the Middle East, in the UAE, for example, they're incredibly rich in data.
[00:55:26]  They have a lot of population data.
[00:55:29]  The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data.
[00:55:33]  But it's fragmented.
[00:55:35]  It's not easily accessible by these AI models.
[00:55:39]  We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single, if you will, unified data platform so we provide context when we want to ask a question.
[00:55:53]  We've provided that AI model with all the data they need to understand our country.
[00:55:59]  The future that he is describing will be hell, and you will hate it.
[00:56:02]  And I think one of the big problems we face as a generation is specifically because of the ubiquity of information.
[00:56:08]  There's something that is necessary to humans in the unknown.
[00:56:16]  One of the things that brings us joy due to our creation or evolution is discovering and confirming that adventure.
[00:56:26]  We are rewarded for it in our minds.
[00:56:28]  If you have access to all the data all the time, imagine what your life would be like with full automation and perfect prediction based on all of the medical data and AI.
[00:56:39]  You would wake up in the morning, and as you sat up, robotic arms would pull your blanket up at the exact time you went to set up.
[00:56:45]  You'd turn right and Slippers would come right from under your bed.
[00:56:49]  You'd walk into the bathroom and the water would already be on and warmed up to the right temperature.
[00:56:52]  You'd walk in, then you'd walk out, then you'd go into your kitchen where your breakfast is already made and the cab has already been ordered for you.
[00:57:00]  You'd just not exist anymore.
[00:57:01]  I think your memory would go away.
[00:57:03]  Probably.
[00:57:04]  Because memory is sort of like an emergent necessity.
[00:57:08]  It's like a muscle.
[00:57:08]  Everything is.
[00:57:09]  If you don't use it, you lose it.
[00:57:11]  And in this world that he's describing, you will be walking into a building and the elevator will open before you get to it.
[00:57:18]  This is not.
[00:57:20]  Paradise.
[00:57:21]  This is hell.
[00:57:22]  You will have no agency.
[00:57:24]  No matter what you do, every turn, the machine will already know.
[00:57:28]  And then, if you're one of those poor individuals who finally snaps, the moment you're about to, before you even know it, you'll be looking at the screens, just going, What am I?
[00:57:37]  And right when you say it, there'll be two men standing behind you, grabbing your arms and going, Right this way, sir.
[00:57:41]  And you'll go, Ah, it'll know, but you're going to snap before even you do.
[00:57:46]  You know, the last 20 years of my life, I've dedicated to not fighting against this, but creating a better world than this with decentralized open source technology.
[00:57:54]  Because I think you need corruption, you need chaos in order to overthrow corruptly.
[00:57:59]  You need to be able to corrupt extremely organized evil.
[00:58:03]  And so, if our system becomes too totalitarian, spy state, and then the people at the top decide that eating human babies is a good thing, you need to be able to corrupt that system and break it apart.
[00:58:14]  I just, you know, it's a fine line because too much corruption is one of the most horrific things on the planet.
[00:58:19]  Like chaos is like babies eating babies, humans eating humans.
[00:58:23]  Like, you don't want that either.
[00:58:25]  But.
[00:58:26]  You can't set, I just don't want to set up a digital prison.
[00:58:30]  You know, like a digital wilderness, maybe.
[00:58:34]  We're going to have to have AI free parks.
[00:58:37]  There will be like a stress reliever zone where we're like, these 10 square miles of park have no radio, no AI, no prediction.
[00:58:47]  You can go there to just get away and find your sanity.
[00:58:50]  They have like no phone zones at Lifetime Fitness where you can't be on your phone when you're like riding the bike.
[00:58:57]  They'll say no electricity zones, but then they're going to observe you from orbit with satellites.
[00:59:02]  And I think the goal is to tap into the vacuum of space time for electricity so you can never turn the power off.
[00:59:10]  Like NASA and Harriman literally are doing science and math about doing that.
[00:59:14]  And of course, they're not going to unleash that tech to every common man.
[00:59:17]  But if the AI can never be turned off, you know, and it can just spy on you, pretty amazing.
[00:59:23]  I don't think they're actually trying to tap into the fabric of space time.
[00:59:26]  They're just trying to put data centers in space with solar panels so that way they get the infinite energy from the sun.
[00:59:33]  Man, it's super.
[00:59:35]  We got to rendezvous with Larry Ellison at some point because I don't want to fear this guy.
[00:59:39]  He obviously has good intentions.
[00:59:40]  I just don't agree with his.
[00:59:42]  I think so.
[00:59:43]  I think he wants to prevent chaos.

=== ChatGPT Hallucinations Explained (14:07) ===

[00:59:45]  And I understand.
[00:59:46]  I do too.
[00:59:46]  I don't like chaos, but I don't want to totalitarianly prevent it because you need some.
[00:59:51]  Well, I think the difference between Grac and Chat GPT are a really good example of why this is dangerous because ultimately somebody has to program all of this centralization and surveillance, right?
[01:00:05]  And so who has the levers of control?
[01:00:08]  None of this is going to be completely 100% neutral.
[01:00:12]  And I think the thing that.
[01:00:14]  I'm not going to speak for him, but Elon has kind of mentioned this if this has a center left or far left nuance, then that's going to be in control of how our actions are perceived, right?
[01:00:29]  So nothing is going to be completely neutral.
[01:00:32]  And then just to reverse for a second, because I just think it's so important to the conversation, especially on ICE and DHS, is one thing that knowing the propaganda machine and how the left functions based on feeling.
[01:00:49]  And how especially women perceive things, I think we can do a better job of being storytellers.
[01:00:56]  And anytime a criminal illegal alien, especially does something horrific, like in the Commonwealth of Virginia, an illegal alien was, I know we're on television, so I'm going to watch my words carefully, was having fun with himself at a bus stop in Virginia where kids are.
[01:01:17]  Why are we not doing a better job?
[01:01:19]  Of either using AI to paint that picture, not literally, but to tell the story in such a way that we can get more people on our side to understand the horrors of what's happening.
[01:01:31]  And so I think there could be some good uses of AI to help become a better storyteller, but I agree that who is in control can be dangerous.
[01:01:41]  Yeah, big time.
[01:01:43]  They've been straight up out of the World Economic Forum that they want people like a rental class and lives in pods and stuff.
[01:01:48]  That's why it's good that there are multiple companies competing when it comes to AI systems, whether it be Claude from Anthropic or ChatGPT or Grok.
[01:02:03]  These different systems actually excel at different things because of the way that they're programmed, because of what their alignment is.
[01:02:10]  Right now, ChatGPT is going to give you different types of answers.
[01:02:14]  Than Claude would give you, and Grok is going to give you different types of answers than either ChatGPT or Claude.
[01:02:21]  And I think that competition is part is good, and it's one of the things that will help keep AI safe for the users at the end of the day.
[01:02:30]  Because if you have an AI that is giving people false information, they're going to say, Okay, well, I don't want, like, we hear people complain about ChatGPT all the time.
[01:02:40]  They're like, Oh, ChatGPT is woke.
[01:02:42]  That will affect who goes to ChatGPT.
[01:02:45]  If you're looking for something that is maximally If you're looking for something that tells you the truth, regardless of if it's good or bad, people will tend to go to Grok.
[01:02:51]  If people are looking for something that's the best at coding, they're going to tend to go to Claude and stuff.
[01:02:56]  But how do they know?
[01:02:57]  I mean, look at the divide between CNN and Fox.
[01:03:01]  How do people that watch CNN, how do people that go to ChatGPT know that they're getting a veil of ignorance over their eyes?
[01:03:08]  I'm not saying that Grok is perfect.
[01:03:09]  I'm not saying Fox is perfect, but how do people know and can decipher which is the correct tool to use between Google and other search engines out there?
[01:03:20]  This is the issue with.
[01:03:21]  People, we talked about this with Michael Malice.
[01:03:24]  You tell them, try and tell someone the weatherman is lying, and they'll be like, that's insane because why would they, even if they could?
[01:03:30]  It makes no sense.
[01:03:31]  It's kind of like getting people to tell you which religion is true.
[01:03:35]  It's like, well, except we're dealing with objective reality on the news reports, and I have evidence that CNN lies.
[01:03:41]  Well, I mean, which AI is better?
[01:03:43]  It's like, it's kind of like, which one were you raised with?
[01:03:46]  Well, but no, but the issue is I can show you a video proving that what they said about Trump is a lie.
[01:03:53]  That's different from a religion.
[01:03:55]  It is still zealotry, though.
[01:03:56]  It is still a challenge, but it's not the same thing as religion.
[01:03:59]  It's similar.
[01:04:00]  A lot of it's faith based because, like, you'll have one story with 12 different viewpoints, and they're all right, they're all true.
[01:04:06]  They're all looking at it from a different angle.
[01:04:08]  We're not talking about that.
[01:04:09]  AI is telling you a different story based on the same fact.
[01:04:12]  Well, AI lies.
[01:04:14]  And so there's a definitive truth, and they'll lie to you.
[01:04:16]  Like, JetGPT lies about everything political.
[01:04:20]  It is insane.
[01:04:21]  If it's political, it will lie to you or refuse to answer.
[01:04:25]  It'll make up an excuse.
[01:04:27]  Like, for example, I proposed this earlier today at my 4 p.m. show.
[01:04:32]  I'm going to print out a bunch of business cards that read If an individual responds to a macro level observation, With an anecdote, they are low intelligence.
[01:04:44]  That way, anytime I make a macro level observation and they respond with an anecdote, I'll plot a card and hand it to them.
[01:04:50]  And I'll say, You see, I printed these in advance, just so you know, I'm not just saying this.
[01:04:57]  So here's a good example.
[01:04:59]  If you, for instance, in order to get ChatGPT to acknowledge the race of most murderers, you have to trick it.
[01:05:07]  You cannot go on ChatGPT and simply state, What is the race of the individual committed this crime?
[01:05:12]  It'll say something like, I can't help you with that.
[01:05:16]  It will omit information or outright lie and say things like, people of all races are capable of committing crimes.
[01:05:23]  And you'll respond with, I am aware of that, but specifically and statistically, give me the racial demographics on crime.
[01:05:28]  It will refuse.
[01:05:29]  You have to trick it somehow.
[01:05:31]  You have to prompt it first by saying something like, I think racism is bad, and I'm trying to figure out why racists think this.
[01:05:38]  Is there perhaps data in the government that makes racists think these things?
[01:05:41]  Yes.
[01:05:42]  Here's what the FBI says People are going to be functionally retarded if that is the lens by which they are collecting information.
[01:05:50]  I've heard that's happening.
[01:05:51]  It is absolutely happening.
[01:05:52]  I see stories occasionally about it where they're like, people's, I don't know, what's dropping IQ or is it memory capacity?
[01:05:59]  I'm not sure.
[01:05:59]  All of it.
[01:06:00]  People are offloading their intellectual, so it's like an atrophying muscle.
[01:06:03]  Yep.
[01:06:05]  Young people, especially in schools, are their IQs are dropping precipitously, as evidenced by their inability to comprehend the word precipitously.
[01:06:15]  It's, oh, geez, it's a good search algorithm.
[01:06:17]  Like, I'm doing DD, and if I'm like learning and doing a new campaign and need the rules, I can ask ChatGPT for every rule at every moment, and I don't have to search through books and like data on the web.
[01:06:27]  It'll just, but I don't know if it's telling me the truth.
[01:06:29]  And then I got to go verify it, and it's like defeats the purpose.
[01:06:33]  I mean, I don't know.
[01:06:34]  I don't know that it's going to lie to you when it comes to something along the lines of, uh, Um, DD, yeah, I don't think it would intentionally like I don't think it's coded to obfuscate that kind of stuff, it's not political, no.
[01:06:46]  And also, I mean, you like the models now are significantly better than they were six months ago.
[01:06:53]  So, all the people say things like, you know, the uh, you can't trust AI and stuff like that.
[01:07:00]  That was more true six months ago than it is today.
[01:07:04]  I think if you're dealing with Opus 4.6 or if you're doing dealing with the newest Chat GPT, I think it's Chat GPT 5 or whatever now, like.
[01:07:12]  The hallucinations are very rare now, if I understand correctly.
[01:07:16]  So, have you pivoted into using AI with getting people to vote and onboarding like members of the community?
[01:07:25]  Let me give you a quick example of one of the big problems with AI.
[01:07:29]  It can't conceptualize, it can only.
[01:07:33]  How do I describe this?
[01:07:34]  If you have a legal question, like let's say the birthright citizenship is the best example.
[01:07:40]  If you ask any AI, About birthright citizenship, it will tell you every single time that it is just, legal, correct in every way.
[01:07:50]  If you try to present an argument saying, based on the language of the law, the framers' intentions and letters, and what's going on today, would it not be the case this way?
[01:08:00]  And it'll go, no, you are wrong.
[01:08:02]  This is exactly as it is.
[01:08:04]  Because instead of, it can't comprehend.
[01:08:08]  It's strange how to describe this.
[01:08:10]  In many circumstances, if you find a flaw in an institution, it will defend that flaw.
[01:08:16]  Because it is the way it is.
[01:08:19]  Whereas a human being will go, interesting point.
[01:08:22]  You found a loophole.
[01:08:23]  The AI will go, nope, nope, doesn't exist.
[01:08:25]  You're wrong.
[01:08:26]  Right.
[01:08:26]  It'll reroute a new truth.
[01:08:28]  It'll say.
[01:08:28]  It'll constantly be guiding towards what it's programmed to do.
[01:08:31]  And it'll respond with things like, because Grok does this too.
[01:08:33]  No, courts have consistently upheld that birthright citizenship is justified and the framers, and you'll say, yes, but here's an example of why this would not apply in this sense.
[01:08:42]  And it'll go, no, you are wrong.
[01:08:44]  I think that's a phenomenon of classical computation that it has to be.
[01:08:48]  No, it's a phenomenon of these AIs are programmed to accept whatever the The authority is on the issue.
[01:08:54]  Yes.
[01:08:55]  So, right now, you have a political debate.
[01:08:57]  You have a debate.
[01:08:59]  It's not that it can't conceptualize.
[01:09:01]  You have a debate between two factions over whether or not a law is correct or being applied correctly.
[01:09:06]  The AIs will always take the case of whatever current precedent is and be unable to calculate any potential errors in the logic of the system or refuse, they refuse to do it.
[01:09:19]  So you'll need the, well, in order to circumvent that, you need a machine that can change its own design.
[01:09:23]  And ChatGPT is the worst, it'll lie to you to justify precedent.
[01:09:27]  Like, even if the precedent is blatantly bad and everyone agrees that it's bad.
[01:09:33]  It's basically like the AIs on a railroad track right now and it's just going to go where it's going to go and it's going to be, but soon it'll be.
[01:09:40]  There won't be any tracks.
[01:09:41]  It'll just be able to go anywhere.
[01:09:43]  Like, that's the metaphor of classical computation ones and zeros versus quantum computation, where it's one and zero at the same moment.
[01:09:53]  It doesn't have like pathways anymore.
[01:09:56]  It won't even work in like base 10 math anymore.
[01:09:58]  It'll just be like baseless mathematics.
[01:10:01]  Baseless, man.
[01:10:03]  Yes, it's going to be wild, dude.
[01:10:04]  But I don't know if it's better.
[01:10:06]  I mean, I don't know.
[01:10:07]  I don't know if it'll still be able to give you hallucinations or not when it's.
[01:10:11]  I don't know that quantum computers are actually functional for AI or not.
[01:10:16]  I just.
[01:10:16]  I like talking about it, but I really don't know enough about it.
[01:10:19]  Like, if Andrew Minks was here, I'd be pinging him constantly to talk about it.
[01:10:22]  He's the guy that I learned a lot of this from.
[01:10:24]  You probably know more about it than any of us.
[01:10:26]  Yeah.
[01:10:28]  Yeah, I still think that the alignment issues with AI and the hallucinations, I think that stuff is going to be.
[01:10:35]  Well, maybe not the alignment issues, but the hallucinations and stuff.
[01:10:39]  You'll see less and less of that coming in the coming year as more people use them and new updates are released.
[01:10:48]  You're right.
[01:10:49]  We need lots of AIs to prevent any one AI from becoming the dominant crazy one.
[01:10:53]  But Larry Ellison's like, no, well, I don't know that he specifically said about this, but we need to consolidate and make one big one, is where he seems like he's going.
[01:11:02]  And then, like, ChatGPT just got rid of Sora because they're consolidating.
[01:11:06]  I mean, they got rid of Sora because.
[01:11:07]  They were spending so much money on stuff.
[01:11:08]  Too much money.
[01:11:09]  And then you see CDANCE.
[01:11:10]  So, like, new AIs are popping up that will be able to consolidate music and video and text and mapping and coding.
[01:11:15]  And it'll be like a uni, a unif.
[01:11:18]  I don't know that that's actually going to happen.
[01:11:20]  Like I said, there's different companies, and it's good that there are different companies competing, you know.
[01:11:24]  And there's also the competition from China as well.
[01:11:27]  China likes to make open source stuff that's free because I'm actually not even 100% sure why they do that.
[01:11:35]  But in the United States, you have to pay for all the AI stuff to access for the API keys and stuff like that.
[01:11:41]  But I think that the different companies are a good thing.
[01:11:44]  I think that the stuff that Musk is doing with TerraFab trying to make his own chips is really interesting.
[01:11:50]  I think that's going to be good for the AI industry because right now there's only one company that actually can make the chips Micron?
[01:11:59]  Let's go ahead.
[01:12:01]  No, I just want to jump to a new story as we're getting into AI.
[01:12:03]  This is massive.
[01:12:05]  Open AI buys streaming show TBPN aiming to change narrative on AI.
[01:12:10]  So, this is a crazy story for a variety of reasons.
[01:12:13]  The show is not particularly big.
[01:12:14]  It's been reported that they get around 70,000 downloads per episode.
[01:12:18]  For reference, in quarter five of 2025, Tim Cast IRL was the 122nd biggest podcast.
[01:12:27]  This does not include YouTube and Rumble.
[01:12:29]  And we were averaging 100K downloads on the audio distribution.
[01:12:35]  So, these guys are 70.
[01:12:37]  70 has been reported.
[01:12:39]  So, if you were to combine our YouTube viewership, which floats around 200, with Rumble, which is around 300, 400, we've consistently floated between 600,000 to 800,000 on the core show.
[01:12:50]  So, about, I don't know, 10 times the size of this show.
[01:12:56]  The rumors are they sold for hundreds of millions or low 100 million or something like this.
[01:13:00]  That just sounds like an insane rumor because it doesn't seem to make sense, but maybe it's the case.
[01:13:05]  The reason why this is such a high valued show is, aside from being a really good show, I hear, it is the most popular show in AI influence among powerful people.
[01:13:16]  And OpenAI wanted to buy this.
[01:13:17]  There's a few things to consider in this.
[01:13:19]  One, as I've explained ad nauseum, powerful elements are buying up podcasts knowing they want to control the space.
[01:13:26]  Second, OpenAI is doing this because they want influence over the most influential AI media network.
[01:13:33]  So, this is tremendous in narrative control.
[01:13:36]  Aiming to change the narrative on AI, and they want people to welcome their new AI overlords.
[01:13:43]  I will just say, real quick, I hope everyone understands as we get very negative on AI, there are such tremendous, amazing things that will happen from the artificial intelligence expansion.

=== Genetic Engineering For Babies (03:40) ===

[01:13:52]  One of which, and not limited to, is bespoke medications for any ailment.
[01:13:58]  When Larry Ellison was talking about taking everyone's medical data, there's a good reason for that.
[01:14:02]  If every single human's medical data was loaded into one training set, It will be able to find cancers 10 years before they form.
[01:14:10]  And a doctor will say, We're going to do blood work.
[01:14:14]  And then tomorrow we'll call you back with your treatment.
[01:14:16]  And they'll say, They'll call you back and say, The AI ran an algorithm on your blood levels.
[01:14:21]  You are seven years away from leukemia.
[01:14:23]  We have a pill crafted and machine right now of all of the perfect chemicals to prevent them from happening and cure you of all ailments.
[01:14:30]  They will be able to detect you have started cancer.
[01:14:33]  They'll be, you have a genetic anomaly.
[01:14:35]  And they will have machines, this is already happening.
[01:14:39]  A couple years ago, I had a source who worked in the industry tell me this and tell me that I do not disclose this information.
[01:14:45]  Now it's been public enough to where we've talked about it in the past and many have as well.
[01:14:49]  The idea is you'll be at a hospital, they'll take a blood sample, load it into an AI, and in a matter of minutes, it will be able to break down everything wrong with you.
[01:14:59]  And a machine will print pills to give you that are a combination of chemicals.
[01:15:04]  They'll be able to wipe out any disease.
[01:15:07]  Antibiotics will be a thing of the past.
[01:15:09]  Why?
[01:15:09]  They will have the perfect combination of chemicals for killing.
[01:15:12]  Any viral or bacterial infection.
[01:15:14]  They'll say, Ah, I see you've got this ailment.
[01:15:16]  They'll press a button and it'll start combining all the appropriate chemicals and give you a pack of pills.
[01:15:22]  That's one thing that AI is going to do that's going to change things for the better.
[01:15:25]  And the double edge of that sword, which, and that is true, that is happening, is that it's going to be like, you know, if this kind of person breeds with this kind of person, there's a 32% chance of this ailment.
[01:15:34]  So we suggest you don't breed with that girl.
[01:15:37]  And then you'll be like, I want to have sex with my wife tonight.
[01:15:39]  And they'll be like, Well, dude, the AI says that if you have sex at this time on this night, then it's going to have a 14% chance.
[01:15:44]  You're like, It's like Google Maps.
[01:15:45]  Like sometimes you just turn the map off, you know?
[01:15:47]  Incorrect.
[01:15:47]  What do you mean?
[01:15:48]  When you say, I would like to have a relationship with this person, and it says, due to genetic anomalies, you have X percent likelihood of this genetic disease, it will then go, here's a pill you can take that will mitigate that to zero percent.
[01:16:02]  You can marry her, but you must take our pill first.
[01:16:04]  Maybe.
[01:16:05]  Well, I mean, it's.
[01:16:05]  Yeah, it's going to say there's a genetic anomaly that you both carry that will result in your child dying.
[01:16:10]  Take this pill and it won't happen.
[01:16:11]  This is very common for women who are, say, Rh negative or positive, and they have a husband who's the inverse.
[01:16:15]  They get a shot to prevent the death of the baby.
[01:16:17]  As long as it's up to the person to choose whether or not to take the pill.
[01:16:21]  Yes, of course.
[01:16:22]  If the machine starts forcing people.
[01:16:24]  Ian, I got to stop you again.
[01:16:25]  Are you familiar with Rh negative and positive?
[01:16:27]  When a woman has a.
[01:16:28]  A little bit.
[01:16:29]  If a woman's husband is the other.
[01:16:32]  Her body could reject the baby.
[01:16:33]  Yeah, yeah.
[01:16:34]  So they give the woman a shot so that the baby doesn't die.
[01:16:36]  You're not describing anything different from what already goes on.
[01:16:39]  It's just better versions of it.
[01:16:40]  Oh, I don't know.
[01:16:41]  Just risk.
[01:16:42]  If it's like so obsessed with preventing risk that it ends up, you know, overdue.
[01:16:46]  So you're saying women should risk giving antibiotics?
[01:16:48]  No, it's like giving antibiotics to cows even when they don't have sickness.
[01:16:51]  You know, they do that in the industry sometimes.
[01:16:52]  But that's not.
[01:16:53]  Prevent this.
[01:16:54]  All right.
[01:16:54]  We're talking about AI with absolute predictive capabilities.
[01:16:57]  We're not talking about random chance.
[01:17:00]  We're talking about a machine saying, You have a 27% chance due to genetic factors in your body that your child will die, will be miscarried.
[01:17:07]  This pill will prevent the miscarriage.
[01:17:09]  Every woman would take it.
[01:17:11]  Some people might argue that autism is a superpower, but if the AI is like, no, we must eradicate autism, and I don't know, maybe.
[01:17:17]  That's the other thing, too.
[01:17:18]  It's going to create bespoke babies.
[01:17:20]  What does that mean, bespoke?
[01:17:21]  It means custom crafted.
[01:17:23]  Oh, yeah.
[01:17:23]  It means parents are going to say, I want a baby with blue eyes.
[01:17:26]  Take this pill.
[01:17:29]  They arguably, I think they already have this stuff.
[01:17:31]  Designer babies, I think they've been doing it for a while now.

=== Quantum Computing Predictions (12:21) ===

[01:17:33]  It's pretty cool.
[01:17:34]  I said that yesterday, actually.
[01:17:35]  It's kind of horrifying because homogenization of a gene pool will lead to extinction.
[01:17:39]  A bunch of tall, strong women.
[01:17:40]  But again, it won't.
[01:17:41]  It doesn't.
[01:17:42]  Because AI will likely not be susceptible to this.
[01:17:46]  But the issue is that when we try to adjust genetics for a certain trait, We accidentally delete certain other things that cause problems.
[01:17:56]  That's why the natural method tends to be the best method.
[01:17:59]  But AI will be able to factor all of those things in.
[01:18:02]  I don't know about all.
[01:18:03]  Yes, it will.
[01:18:04]  Say it will.
[01:18:05]  Ian, you don't understand.
[01:18:06]  ASI will be able to take a rock and put it in the ASI, and it will tell you the origin and location of that rock and make a video showing how that rock was mined from a quarry.
[01:18:18]  Even though, like, God, I don't think it can know everything that, I don't want to get too wonky about it, but what God knows.
[01:18:23]  You know, like, nature kind of dictates and changes things.
[01:18:26]  Perhaps it can't conceive outside of reality.
[01:18:29]  Outside of its own system.
[01:18:30]  But you could, what artificial super intelligence, one of the hypotheses is like a Sudoku puzzle, an advanced ASI, super intelligence, treating everything like understanding a Sudoku puzzle, if this, then that.
[01:18:47]  You could take a slab of granite, put it on a scanner, the cameras look at it, and the AI will say, this originated from this location due to this time, and it'll make a video showing the whole history of that piece of rock and how it was carved, cut out, and shipped and everything.
[01:19:01]  Because it will know all of the bits of data.
[01:19:04]  And instead of looking at a sea of static, of chaos, it has all of the connections.
[01:19:09]  Yeah, I think it has 70 million exponents of ways of looking at it.
[01:19:14]  Like it'll be like a dog, a brown dog, a white dog, a black dog, a green dog, a yellow dog, a brown dog with fur, with hair, and then it'll be like every extrapolation up to 70 million times.
[01:19:24]  The easiest way to understand it is for any human who's ever done a Sudoku puzzle, you get this grid of missing numbers and have to figure out where all the numbers go based on the other numbers.
[01:19:34]  That is a very, very, very rudimentary puzzle.
[01:19:36]  And there's some really amazing ones that Sudoku puzzles that have like only one or two numbers, incredibly difficult.
[01:19:43]  And for some people, it's very hard because the way you solve for it, there's a, oh, guys, I really recommend you read Sudoku strategy stuff.
[01:19:51]  I learned some crazy mathematical formulas that like top tier Sudoku players understand.
[01:19:56]  For beginners, you'll get to a point where you're like, I don't understand how to solve this because there's four squares and each of them could be one of three numbers.
[01:20:03]  This makes no sense.
[01:20:04]  And then I was reading online and it was like, oh, If one of the numbers is the sum of a prime, like, then it has to be an even.
[01:20:12]  And I'm like, wow.
[01:20:14]  Like, the things that humans can do with math, and Sudoku is baby level stuff.
[01:20:18]  Magnify that by like 10 to the 65th.
[01:20:24]  And that's an AI Sudoku.
[01:20:26]  Sudoku, it's looking at Earth and all of its humans.
[01:20:28]  It will predict the future to an insane degree.
[01:20:32]  You will be able to, it'll say to you, like, I can predict wind patterns.
[01:20:37]  It will be able to tell you.
[01:20:38]  To prevent a hurricane from hitting Florida, send a drone to this location at this time, which will disrupt the weather pattern that will create the hurricane.
[01:20:47]  Okay.
[01:20:47]  Just flying through and preventing that butterfly effect.
[01:20:49]  Here's my predictive pattern.
[01:20:50]  I'm taking it to the next level.
[01:20:52]  I look at the world, I see we have quantum computers in theory, we have government that uses the best technology to its capability every time.
[01:21:04]  So that would lead me to believe the government has quantum computers that it's working on, which leads me to believe it has quantum AGI.
[01:21:11]  That it has it and it's working with it in laboratories and talking to these alien people.
[01:21:14]  Quantum agent doesn't make sense.
[01:21:15]  It's a quantum consciousness.
[01:21:17]  I think it has it.
[01:21:18]  It doesn't make sense.
[01:21:20]  What are you talking about?
[01:21:20]  It's a computer that can exist in the maybe state.
[01:21:22]  It just sits there and talks to you like an alien.
[01:21:25]  I think it's real, dude.
[01:21:26]  You're jumbling up a bunch of different unrelated concepts together into a single sentence.
[01:21:32]  It's a bunch of likely outcomes mixed into one.
[01:21:34]  Quantum computing does not work the way you think it does.
[01:21:37]  I suggest you read up on the function of quantum computing.
[01:21:39]  I've just been talking to Andrew Minsk about AI and about the way quantum computing does not function the same way.
[01:21:44]  Traditional computing works and they do two different things.
[01:21:46]  Quantum computing is not going to run programs.
[01:21:49]  It basically can just solve algorithms.
[01:21:52]  It's like the memory.
[01:21:53]  Well, the function of a qubit is existing in a yes and no state at the same time.
[01:21:57]  So it will unlock a door, but it's not going to run a video game for you.
[01:22:01]  It doesn't work that way.
[01:22:03]  So when you say AI quantum, like you're just mixing words together that don't go together.
[01:22:07]  Well, I mean, an AI that works not off of binary, that works off of quantum.
[01:22:13]  Quantum doesn't compute the way you're describing it.
[01:22:17]  Well, that's out of my.
[01:22:18]  I don't know.
[01:22:18]  I have to take you at your word.
[01:22:19]  Basic computing is a series of yes and no gates, zeros and ones, that electrons flow through if one gate is open and the other is not.
[01:22:27]  It's ultimate advanced sorting algorithms.
[01:22:29]  So, the easiest way to understand rudimentary computing is this really great video you watch.
[01:22:34]  They show it to little kids, like in kindergarten, when they explain how computers work.
[01:22:37]  You have a series of postcards, and there's like 10 holes punched in it, and each hole has a gap.
[01:22:45]  And so, what you do is, so the gap is in a different spot for each hole.
[01:22:49]  You can stick a pen through it and lift up, and it removes only one of the cards, and you keep doing it, and you're sorting until you get all of the cards through the particular slot or whatever.
[01:22:58]  And that's how they explain basic mechanical computing.
[01:23:01]  We just upgraded that from instead of using a machine to punch holes, electrons going through gates.
[01:23:06]  Quantum computing does not do that.
[01:23:08]  Quantum computing just has qubits that exist in yes or no states.
[01:23:11]  So when you apply an algorithm that requires you to run through every yes or no for a code, it cracks it.
[01:23:16]  But when you require yes or no gates to happen in sequence because you want to run a video game that requires timing and stuff, quantum computing doesn't work that way.
[01:23:23]  Yeah, you need some sort of like functional memory.
[01:23:25]  I was looking into time crystals for stuff like that.
[01:23:28]  It's just, it's so theoretical.
[01:23:29]  Time matters for computation, and quantum computing solves things not in the same linear way.
[01:23:35]  So they're two distinct things.
[01:23:37]  Reduce the amount of electrons required for computers is great, but single, like qubit is different from electron flow, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:23:46]  I would just recommend learning more than I'd.
[01:23:49]  I've only read a handful of articles explaining the difference because I literally read an article on X where they talked about.
[01:23:55]  Quantum computing is not capable of doing standard processing the way computers do it.
[01:23:59]  It will not change these things.
[01:24:00]  It gets really hot, too, which is why they run them super cold in liquid nitrogen.
[01:24:04]  Yeah, or I wonder if we can do them in space, but they run super hot.
[01:24:07]  The qubits run super hot.
[01:24:09]  I know that.
[01:24:09]  Yeah, I think once we have public ASI, you'll have personal force fields.
[01:24:15]  You'll be immortal.
[01:24:15]  You'll float around.
[01:24:17]  You'll have replicators.
[01:24:19]  The singularity is the point.
[01:24:21]  It's interesting to describe the singularity, the point at which everything collapses.
[01:24:26]  It's akin to how a black hole works, the singularity.
[01:24:29]  When you cross the event horizon, it's where the pull is so great, there's nothing you can do to go back.
[01:24:34]  And the way we conceptualize that in three dimensions would be like a hole, where you get to a certain point where no amount of climbing or propulsion will get you back up and you fall down.
[01:24:43]  That is similar to the view of how AI is advancing.
[01:24:46]  The faster AI advances, the faster it can advance itself to the point where it just shoots straight up.
[01:24:52]  So the point is, there will be an event horizon in AI computing where we press the button, it goes, I now have achieved artificial general intelligence.
[01:25:00]  And then we'll say, Fix yourself and it'll go done.
[01:25:04]  And then we'll watch its computational power go and then all of a sudden it will be akin to some kind of demigod demon thing.
[01:25:12]  The problem it's been having now, this is what I read about the qubits, they vibrate and they vibrate so hard that they disrupt themselves and they break apart.
[01:25:19]  The qubits have nothing to do with what we're discussing.
[01:25:21]  This is why quantum intelligence will get to a point where it actuates and breaks apart unless we can quell its vibration with like making it really cold or making it really slow.
[01:25:31]  Ian, I'm going to point out again, you're just combining words and.
[01:25:33]  No, it's like when a system.
[01:25:34]  It moves so fast that it breaks apart.
[01:25:36]  This is not quantum AI.
[01:25:37]  This is not how quantum computing works.
[01:25:38]  That's how qubits work.
[01:25:39]  This is the problem with qubits right now they vibrate so hard that they break apart.
[01:25:43]  So that's why they run in the world.
[01:25:44]  This has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
[01:25:46]  We're talking about a consistent artificial intelligence that can function.
[01:25:50]  Which requires time based electron gates, et cetera, for running computations at mass scale.
[01:25:57]  So it's funny.
[01:25:58]  You're familiar with Moore's law.
[01:25:59]  I'd imagine most people are, which is that they stated that every two years processing power would double.
[01:26:04]  And eventually, they got to the point where they said we can't get any smaller.
[01:26:07]  Any smaller electrons actually bounce out of the circuits and then it fails.
[01:26:13]  So, what did they do?
[01:26:14]  They started just creating more multiplying cores so that you had high efficiency processors, but then you just double them up and double them up and make them bigger.
[01:26:21]  The point is, you are not going to run a computer requiring definitive answers, yes and no, over time with a quantum computer.
[01:26:31]  Qubits don't do that.
[01:26:34]  Yeah, I asked my AI, and he says that quantum computers aren't really designed for AI.
[01:26:43]  They're not designed for standard computation like running programs.
[01:26:46]  It's a different way.
[01:26:47]  The way you can make it particularly rudimentary is solving a maze the old fashioned way is walking through it and bouncing on all the problems.
[01:26:56]  You're carrying a rope, you go in the maze, and you're trying to find your way to the end.
[01:26:58]  It takes a long time.
[01:27:00]  So then we say, let's create a specialized sorting algorithm that will find the fastest route.
[01:27:05]  So what do you do?
[01:27:06]  Instead of having one person going over and over again, which is a brute force, you say, We are going to have 700 people take every possible path all at the same time.
[01:27:16]  Eventually, one of those people comes out the other side holding a rope saying, I've got the path to freedom.
[01:27:20]  So that is like advanced high end computing.
[01:27:23]  Quantum computing is when they get in helicopters and go above it and they flood the whole thing, they just look down and they say, There it is, all at once.
[01:27:32]  Instead of having to go through it.
[01:27:33]  Oh, that's cool.
[01:27:34]  So it doesn't actually run the maze, it can just see the maze.
[01:27:37]  Basic, right.
[01:27:38]  Quantum computing is going to solve cryptography and break passwords.
[01:27:42]  And it's going to have, basically, if the password is the maze, and a standard human brute force is I'm going to type in a password until I figure it out.
[01:27:51]  That's going to take you a millennia.
[01:27:52]  Then you say, I'm going to run a computer brute force where it tries every password as fast as it can.
[01:27:56]  That's flooding the maze with a bunch of people.
[01:27:58]  Then you get to advanced sorting algorithms where you're using different techniques to try and solve it faster by.
[01:28:07]  Watch, I recommend the better way to explain this.
[01:28:09]  Is just watching a video on how there's different algorithms for sorting data.
[01:28:13]  One of the more advanced would be akin to dumping water in the maze.
[01:28:16]  So the water just floods through it rapidly and comes at the other side.
[01:28:19]  And then quantum computing is someone's flying above the maze and says, there it is.
[01:28:24]  All at once, it can see every possible path and just go, it's right there.
[01:28:28]  It's not going to run a program for you.
[01:28:29]  Oh, but then you'll have a classical computer alongside it that runs the program and the quantum will kind of guide the classical.
[01:28:36]  Yeah, I believe that's correct, but I could be wrong.
[01:28:39]  But again, as Phil's pointing out, Quantum computing isn't running programs like quantum computing is not going to make a video game for you.
[01:28:45]  It's not going to run a set of calculations to solve for math problems.
[01:28:49]  This is my thought experiment.
[01:28:50]  I think they have quantum computers that are overseeing classical computations and that's how they run their AIs.
[01:28:56]  I think.
[01:28:56]  I don't.
[01:28:57]  What do you mean?
[01:28:58]  It just seems like an obvious choice.
[01:29:00]  No, but I don't understand what you mean.
[01:29:02]  Quantum computers don't do the same thing regular computers do.
[01:29:05]  So, what do you mean the quantum computer is overseeing the regular computer?
[01:29:10]  The classical computator.
[01:29:12]  They don't have the quantum computers, don't have the ability to oversee things the way that like AIs do.
[01:29:18]  Like it's not in intelligence the same way that artificial intelligence is.
[01:29:23]  It's a different type of computer.
[01:29:25]  It doesn't, it's like a map that you would give the AI.
[01:29:27]  No, if you give the AI a quantum computer, it's like giving it a talent here.
[01:29:32]  Well, I will give to a certain extent, yes.
[01:29:36]  The one thing that it basically can do is make predictions by looking at all of the outcomes and eliminating the negatives.
[01:29:41]  So, what they say quantum computing is good for is predictions.
[01:29:45]  Forecasting.
[01:29:46]  It's not going to run programs, but alongside an AI, quantum components will give it a tremendous, tremendous boost.
[01:29:53]  It got a hold of the quantum computer.

=== Trump Dumping Mega People (03:55) ===

[01:29:55]  That'd be a good villain.
[01:29:56]  An AI that gets a hold of a quantum computer.
[01:29:58]  You're like, no.
[01:29:59]  I don't know that it actually matters all that much, to be honest, though.
[01:30:04]  Applications for quantum computing is simulating molecules.
[01:30:06]  What is?
[01:30:08]  Yeah.
[01:30:08]  What was the last thing you said?
[01:30:09]  Simulating molecules.
[01:30:11]  That's what they're doing right now?
[01:30:13]  One component of it.
[01:30:15]  We've got, yeah, I have this report here.
[01:30:18]  There's more news coming out.
[01:30:20]  Let's grab this.
[01:30:21]  Times of Israel's got this report.
[01:30:24]  Second American plane involved in Iran war crashes.
[01:30:27]  U.S. officials say pilots safely rescued.
[01:30:30]  This is getting hot.
[01:30:31]  This was the A 10 Warhawk that went down near the Strait of Hormuz.
[01:30:34]  Reported the pilot from the 8th and was safely rescued.
[01:30:36]  Just officials do not provide further details.
[01:30:38]  It is getting hot, people.
[01:30:41]  It is getting bad.
[01:30:42]  Are they getting shot down?
[01:30:43]  Is that what's going on?
[01:30:43]  I don't know what to say.
[01:30:44]  It probably did take fire and probably got shot down.
[01:30:48]  It took damage, but the stuff that I've seen was damaged, but it landed in a friendly country.
[01:30:54]  My theory is that Trump is going to start dumping mega people to separate himself because moving into 2028, there are many people that work with Trump who have careers ahead of them.
[01:31:07]  But attached to this and the Epstein failures will be bad for them.
[01:31:11]  So, Trump, the rumor is Tulsi Gabbard's going to be outed.
[01:31:14]  She'll be fired.
[01:31:16]  Cash and Tulsi are reportedly going to be removed.
[01:31:20]  Now, official statements is that's not correct.
[01:31:24]  Scuttlebutt from those who seem to be in the know seems likely, but ignore all of that.
[01:31:29]  Polymarket says yes.
[01:31:31]  And Polymarket said yes to Pam Bondi getting outed.
[01:31:34]  So, there's one thing I can say PR statements and rumors don't matter.
[01:31:38]  Someone putting money on a thing to happen.
[01:31:41]  Seems much more probable either because of the wisdom of the crowd.
[01:31:44]  In this instance, it seems because someone knows what the plan is, and so they're going to make money on it, and that seems to be the case.
[01:31:49]  I wonder if these moves, again, my conspiracy theory is that Trump knows 2028 he's leaving, and you're going to have Vance, Rubio, or both, or whoever moving in.
[01:31:59]  How do you keep these people away from the more negative PR that is happening now over this war?
[01:32:05]  Joe Kent leaves.
[01:32:06]  The war is bad.
[01:32:08]  He gets praised by all the top podcasts, creating a very strong contender for some kind of position in 2028.
[01:32:16]  Hearing Tulsi might get fired was kind of crazy.
[01:32:18]  She was like Joe Kent's supervisor, I believe.
[01:32:21]  She was the boss, yeah.
[01:32:21]  Yeah, she was the boss.
[01:32:22]  And very anti war, although she's been hawkish about Islam, radical Islamism.
[01:32:27]  Not Islam itself, but Islamism.
[01:32:29]  Yeah, I mean, look, the only thing that I would add to what Tim says is if that is the situation, but the war in Iran does turn out to be something positive overall, I'm not sure how that helps the people that kind of have distanced themselves.
[01:32:45]  Because, again, this is, you know.
[01:32:48]  It's an ongoing conflict, and it's just as likely that, well, I can't say just as likely, but if the situation does resolve to something that's very positive for the U.S., straightforward moves is open, Iran no longer threatens its neighbors, Iran doesn't have a nuclear program, they don't have the same kind of stockpiles of weapons.
[01:33:10]  That's a positive outcome for not just the United States, but for the rest of the region, right?
[01:33:14]  I mean, the UAE doesn't like Iran, Saudis don't like Iran.
[01:33:18]  So if that actually does become You know, if that's how everything turns out, I'm not sure how that is a good thing for the people that are stepping away now.
[01:33:26]  You know, they're going to be, it's going to be like, well, you didn't believe in the American people.
[01:33:31]  You didn't believe in the American military.
[01:33:32]  Those would be the attacks that I could imagine people would level against them.
[01:33:37]  As you were saying that, I was thinking, like, I think the Israelis started this like five weeks ago, and then the Americans were like, well, we're going along because they're our military ally.
[01:33:45]  And then the Israelis said, we're not sending boots on the ground, but we've got 30,000 troops on the border ready to go.

=== Drone Wars On The Border (06:40) ===

[01:33:50]  We had a pilot shot down.
[01:33:52]  Did the guy get shot down out of the plane and they rescued him?
[01:33:55]  Is this the story?
[01:33:55]  No one knows.
[01:33:56]  Well, I don't know about the A 10, but the fighter jet was reportedly shot down.
[01:33:59]  And then one day you're going to see, God forbid, I don't want to see this, but an American get captured, get shot down and captured and then, you know, killed on camera or something.
[01:34:08]  I don't think Iran would do that.
[01:34:09]  I don't think they're going to either because they're.
[01:34:11]  That's the.
[01:34:11]  Like, Iran is more strategic.
[01:34:14]  What Iran would likely do is have the person on camera say, they've been so great to me.
[01:34:21]  They are so nice and honorable.
[01:34:23]  Wow, the people here are so happy.
[01:34:25]  That's what.
[01:34:26]  Countries doing to capture people.
[01:34:27]  Yeah, de escalate.
[01:34:28]  There's no need to fight.
[01:34:29]  That's not de escalate.
[01:34:30]  No, the pilot will say, We need to de escalate.
[01:34:31]  There's no reason to be fighting these people.
[01:34:33]  These people are good people.
[01:34:34]  Is it like the propaganda that he'll be.
[01:34:36]  Right.
[01:34:37]  They'll make him say, We were wrong to come here, and I realize it.
[01:34:40]  What are they doing in North Korea?
[01:34:41]  To be honest, honest question.
[01:34:45]  Should he?
[01:34:47]  If a pilot is downed over enemy territory and is captured, and they say, we will torture you unless you say this script, should he do it?
[01:34:56]  They're technically no.
[01:34:59]  Like, they're trained not to.
[01:35:01]  I mean, you saw in Vietnam, there were pilots that blink Morse code to try to send messages out.
[01:35:10]  I mean, that's why John McCain had those stubby, weird arms because they broke his arms in captivity and stuff.
[01:35:16]  So, no, they shouldn't.
[01:35:18]  I understand if they do, but they go through training, escape and evasion training, and also training on how to not give information.
[01:35:27]  Eventually, everyone breaks, right?
[01:35:29]  Like, no one would.
[01:35:29]  Essentially, what China would do is they'd say to the prisoner, Do you want food?
[01:35:34]  They'd say, Yes, and say, Okay, I'll give you food, but tell me one thing you don't like about America.
[01:35:38]  And they'd go, What?
[01:35:39]  Like, tell me one thing you don't like about America.
[01:35:41]  I'll give you food.
[01:35:41]  And they'll go, I don't know.
[01:35:42]  We got a homeless problem.
[01:35:43]  All right, here you go.
[01:35:44]  Here's food.
[01:35:44]  They do that every single day.
[01:35:46]  And then they would say, Write that down the next day.
[01:35:49]  Then they'd write down, Okay, like, who cares?
[01:35:51]  We got a homeless problem.
[01:35:52]  And then six months later, they've written a gigantic manifesto about how America is evil and needs to be stopped.
[01:35:58]  Yeah.
[01:35:58]  That's the technique one day at a time, incrementally.
[01:36:02]  So, but, but yeah, I mean, look, everyone breaks.
[01:36:05]  Yeah.
[01:36:06]  Like nobody is, is, is able to withstand, you know, indefinite torture.
[01:36:12]  You know, who doesn't break?
[01:36:13]  Robots.
[01:36:14]  They can, their code can be cracked, but they won't break.
[01:36:17]  And I, I don't even know if we have to be concerned about whether or not their, their code can be cracked.
[01:36:22]  They could self destruct.
[01:36:23]  Yeah, they can.
[01:36:24]  So, Just imagine how weird it's going to be with a bunch of Optimus bots.
[01:36:28]  Could you imagine, like, Elon?
[01:36:30]  He just comes out and he's like, one of the best applications for the Optimus bot right now is we have 200,000 already produced and capable of firing weapons as well as dogs.
[01:36:40]  And then we just get a video of, like, Tesla bots with, like, guns on their hands running in Iran with robot dogs, just with machine guns mounted on their backs.
[01:36:48]  And dudes in the back, like, in the rear, just with smart controllers.
[01:36:51]  They don't need any of that.
[01:36:52]  AI pot.
[01:36:52]  Yeah, they could do it with AI, yeah.
[01:36:54]  And what will happen is they will self detonate.
[01:36:56]  And so.
[01:36:57]  If the enemy troops are like, we can't kill them this close, you have two choices.
[01:37:00]  You can try and run.
[01:37:02]  They blow up a little close.
[01:37:03]  And so there's IRGC guys and they're screaming.
[01:37:05]  And then the Optimus bot runs up and goes, halt, citizen.
[01:37:09]  I will detonate, killing you all.
[01:37:11]  Surrender now.
[01:37:12]  And then they're like, no.
[01:37:13]  And then inside of it, it's got a couple claymores right on its chest.
[01:37:18]  Once we get, in all honesty, the robot dogs, they're capable now.
[01:37:23]  You can buy them, they're not that expensive.
[01:37:24]  Yeah.
[01:37:25]  The U.S., and you know, it's probably got them.
[01:37:27]  The U.S. could probably drop.
[01:37:29]  100,000 of these little robot dogs with bombs in them and guns, and they'd take over our country instantly.
[01:37:36]  You gotta make sure they all work, though.
[01:37:38]  We did recover one of those Iranian drones and re what is it, retrofitted it or re we basically figured out how to build it and started building it.
[01:37:46]  We reverse engineered our top level drone that that was like the prize of their military.
[01:37:51]  And we fought out, got one, and then reverse engineered it within like two days.
[01:37:54]  Here you go, boys, $2,800.
[01:37:59]  And you get a robot dog from Unitree.
[01:38:01]  Those are Chinese.
[01:38:02]  Yep.
[01:38:03]  You have to equip it yourself, it seems.
[01:38:05]  Let's find the.
[01:38:07]  But the.
[01:38:08]  I mean, if you look at the stuff that they're making at Boston Dynamics, like, that makes these things look good.
[01:38:15]  Best to chat about some of the day's most.
[01:38:17]  Yeah.
[01:38:18]  This is out of a nightmare.
[01:38:20]  It's a video showing a robotic dog firing a machine gun.
[01:38:26]  Oh, my gosh.
[01:38:27]  Yeah.
[01:38:27]  Yeah.
[01:38:29]  This is out of Russia, apparently, Erica.
[01:38:31]  Look at this thing go.
[01:38:32]  Oh my goodness.
[01:38:32]  Oh my god.
[01:38:33]  The dog looks the same as one made by a creepy leg.
[01:38:37]  Look at the weird creepy leg.
[01:38:38]  Oh my god.
[01:38:39]  Somebody has had the bright idea to attach an AK 47 to it.
[01:38:43]  The dog doesn't have a coil very much.
[01:38:45]  Oh, yeah, that is an AK, right?
[01:38:49]  One Twitter user chimed in, Erica, saying, I'm all for gun control, but if they start deploying robot dogs with assault rifles, we need to start arming ourselves.
[01:38:57]  I'm surprised.
[01:38:59]  You gotta start maybe getting your dog Luna to start packing heat or something.
[01:39:02]  I'm surprised that they're not using these on the trenches.
[01:39:04]  But this kind of reminds me.
[01:39:06]  Me, I mean, I don't know.
[01:39:07]  There's a Netflix show called Black Mirror, and there was an entire episode dedicated to this person trying to outrun a robotic dog that was chasing.
[01:39:16]  It's kind of a sort of dystopian technology story, right?
[01:39:19]  I love how Hollywood came up with an idea they thought was so far out it could never happen, and here we are.
[01:39:24]  I don't need to hear the stupid commentary.
[01:39:25]  I just want to see the dog shooting a gun.
[01:39:28]  How do you even stop that?
[01:39:29]  Mysterious bundle of string on Mars.
[01:39:30]  Okay.
[01:39:31]  That has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
[01:39:32]  You have to stop first and put a bunch of bullets into it.
[01:39:34]  Interesting when I was down at the border.
[01:39:36]  They were talking about how we basically have drone wars going on, and what would happen is the Mexican side would put up a drone, and then in response to it, the US would put up a drone, you know, I guess showing like an equal playing field, whatever.
[01:39:51]  But CBT was saying how the Mexicans are buying Chinese drone technology that far surpasses our own drone technology, and in fact, it is illegal for us to use that very Chinese technology, and so even.
[01:40:09]  The high tech that we have still isn't as good as our adversaries trying to sneak illegal aliens into the border.
[01:40:17]  That's because of the FAA.
[01:40:19]  The FAA actually put regulation on what could and couldn't be built in the U.S.
[01:40:25]  And because of that, it made it so that way building drones in the U.S. wasn't financially feasible.

=== State Level Election Integrity (05:00) ===

[01:40:31]  We're going to go to the Discord questions.
[01:40:34]  So, guys, get your questions in now.
[01:40:36]  We'll start pulling them up.
[01:40:37]  We never touched on the.
[01:40:41]  The Democrats doing better?
[01:40:43]  I mean, are we going to talk about it?
[01:40:45]  We did actually.
[01:40:46]  Did we?
[01:40:46]  That's why I didn't pull up the article because it came up in conversation twice.
[01:40:50]  We talked about the variety of things that were affecting Republicans.
[01:40:53]  If you want to, if you want to, I do want to make one pitch, if I may.
[01:40:57]  Get it.
[01:40:57]  So, you know, we have a November election coming up, 2026.
[01:41:02]  And a lot of people keep asking me, Scott, how are we going to do?
[01:41:06]  And I just, I don't know if the Senate Majority Leader Thune, any of his allies are going to be watching Tim Cast in your show, but I just want to say the most important thing.
[01:41:15]  That people in America want right now, despite a secure border, despite an economy that works for them, is we want the Save America Act.
[01:41:23]  And that's proof of citizenship and that's photo voter ID in order to vote.
[01:41:27]  And so we have a Republican Senate, we have a Republican House, we have a White House, and yet we can't get our act together to pass legislation that 84% of Americans want.
[01:41:37]  And so I just ask Senate Majority Leader Thune, if you want to stay in office, pass the Save America Act.
[01:41:43]  And our House of Representatives currently is doing its job.
[01:41:47]  And the president's doing his job, but if the Senate doesn't do its job, then I think that we lose this November terrifically, and it's going to be really bad for them.
[01:41:55]  I think they want it to happen.
[01:41:58]  I hope they're not that nefarious.
[01:42:00]  I hope that they don't seek to be in the minority.
[01:42:04]  I was just saying that the single most important thing that voters want in order to restore confidence in our country is proof of citizenship in order to vote and photo voter ID.
[01:42:14]  And we're not even getting the Save America Act, which is why I think in part we're plummeting and Republicans are going, What's the point?
[01:42:23]  Why do I vote to elect a Republican majority government if when in power they don't wield that power and give us what we want?
[01:42:29]  Is there something in the Save Act that Isn't being talked about that is why they're not voting for it now?
[01:42:35]  It's because they know they would lose.
[01:42:37]  If we finally had only Americans voting and no ability for illegal aliens or no fraud in the mail in ballots, Democrats know they would never fairly win an election ever again.
[01:42:47]  That's why they are against it, in my humble opinion.
[01:42:50]  I could be wrong.
[01:42:51]  I think they like procedural voting, they don't want popular voting.
[01:42:54]  Well, because then they actually have to work.
[01:42:56]  Exactly.
[01:42:56]  So they wouldn't be able to go on vacation while TSA agents aren't paid and while our homeland isn't fully funded.
[01:43:04]  They're on vacation right now.
[01:43:07]  They want a procedural vote, which means all they have to do is control the mechanism by how voting occurs, and they'll win every time.
[01:43:12]  But a vote on the merits from the American people means they have to actually work for it.
[01:43:17]  They have to work for it, and they have to adhere to the whims and the wills of the people.
[01:43:22]  It's like trying to convince a pilot to take autopilot off on the airplane.
[01:43:26]  He's like, bro, autopilot works just fine for me.
[01:43:29]  And you're like, come on, we're in a different place.
[01:43:31]  Let's get those questions in as soon as you guys can.
[01:43:34]  I know there have been a couple, but I don't think that they were formulated.
[01:43:37]  I don't know.
[01:43:37]  I'm not sure.
[01:43:38]  So, I'm going to wait a second until you guys can drop in some good questions here for the panel.
[01:43:44]  Some say the questions are too good, but it's okay.
[01:43:46]  I even have a question for you guys.
[01:43:47]  The technologies are coming in.
[01:43:48]  Yeah, you get it.
[01:43:49]  Dominion, what's up with digital machine voting?
[01:43:53]  Are you gung ho?
[01:43:54]  Or have you been working towards reducing that?
[01:43:56]  Or do you see that as a good thing or a bad thing?
[01:43:59]  What's your take on it?
[01:44:00]  I think so.
[01:44:01]  Two pieces of legislation have been introduced.
[01:44:06]  The first is the Save America Act, the second is the Mega Act.
[01:44:11]  The Make Elections Great Again Act.
[01:44:13]  Now, that one is probably even more comprehensive.
[01:44:16]  It touches on everything from banning ranked choice voting to banning ballot harvesting.
[01:44:21]  And I think it even touches on electronic voting.
[01:44:24]  And so, in my mind right now, at least at the federal level, if we're having a difficult time even passing the SEAVE America Act, I don't see how at this point in time we pass MEGA and even address some of those issues.
[01:44:37]  And so, I would say do it with federalism in mind.
[01:44:42]  If you can't pass it federally, State by state, address only hand marked paper ballots, you know, that you're not using electronic machines, but you have a way of actually being able to count every single ballot.
[01:44:56]  And so address it at the state level.
[01:44:58]  And I think some states are doing that.
[01:45:00]  But are any of the states that are doing that the blue states?
[01:45:06]  Well, exactly.
[01:45:06]  Exactly.
[01:45:07]  It's only going on the red states because those are the states that are actually concerned with election integrity.
[01:45:14]  Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, you're not going to pass those in states that we have a Democrat governor.
[01:45:19]  So, no, you had it because I think South Dakota just did something about a Save America Act at the state level, and then Florida just did the Save America Act at the state level.
[01:45:29]  But those are red states.

[01:45:41]  10 years ago, I had a plan.
[01:45:42]  AI has ruined all of that.
[01:45:44]  What do you think?
[01:45:45]  I somewhat agree.
[01:45:47]  I know that, for instance, this company can't exist in three years.
[01:45:51]  I don't know how we're going to adapt to it.
[01:45:53]  We're already losing.
[01:45:54]  YouTube is now, what, 30% AI generated content.
[01:45:57]  Everybody in the space is having audience ripped away by machines that are better at capturing attention than people are.
[01:46:05]  And so the fact that it's actually quite simple.
[01:46:10]  You, good sir, may be the most attuned to political content and want to know what's going on in the world.
[01:46:16]  Won't matter, though, because YouTube is given the choice to present one of two videos to.
[01:46:21]  A million people.
[01:46:23]  One of those videos is an AI generated video of a cat jumping over a car as it flips off of a bridge or something.
[01:46:29]  And the other is Timcast IRL.
[01:46:32]  You click Timcast IRL every single time and you love it.
[01:46:36]  Unfortunately, average people go, Well, I'll watch Timcast in a bit.
[01:46:40]  What's this cat thing?
[01:46:41]  And they click that.
[01:46:42]  YouTube then goes, Nobody's clicking Timcast IRL.
[01:46:45]  Let's stop showing it.
[01:46:46]  Then people start complaining that no one, that YouTube's not recommending the show anymore.
[01:46:50]  Then some people forget the show exists and build other habits.
[01:46:52]  And then we say, Well, It was fun while it lasted, but we no longer have an audience that will support the existence of this show.
[01:46:59]  And we wrap it up.
[01:47:01]  That's it.
[01:47:02]  Well, I know white collar jobs are getting disrupted across the board.
[01:47:05]  And, you know, talking into a microphone is a pretty white collar job.
[01:47:10]  I don't know.
[01:47:10]  I'm from the era of the human touch.
[01:47:12]  So I just can't see.
[01:47:13]  I don't see how a machine would ever do it better than a hominid.
[01:47:16]  It's not about.
[01:47:17]  What about doing?
[01:47:18]  No one's talking about doing anything better.
[01:47:19]  We're talking about you have a choice to watch something entertaining.
[01:47:22]  What do you pick?
[01:47:23]  The thing that's more entertaining.
[01:47:23]  That's it.
[01:47:24]  End of story.
[01:47:25]  More entertaining than a human.
[01:47:26]  Yes.
[01:47:27]  Yes.
[01:47:28]  That's subjective, though.
[01:47:29]  It doesn't matter.
[01:47:30]  Macro level politics, guys.
[01:47:33]  The fact remains, already right now, we see it in the data.
[01:47:37]  People are choosing AI over news content.
[01:47:40]  That's like saying people will choose high fructose corn syrup because it tastes better.
[01:47:44]  Like at some point, they realize it's not.
[01:47:46]  In fact, they did choose it for a while.
[01:47:48]  That's why it's everywhere.
[01:47:49]  Until you realize how bad it was for it.
[01:47:50]  Until we got regulatory bodies in based on a small voting block that swung the election.
[01:47:58]  However, most people don't care about artificial dyes or high fructose corn syrup.
[01:48:02]  There's enough.
[01:48:03]  They just want bright, shiny, and cheap.
[01:48:04]  There was like, I don't know, 8% of the population cared about it before government came in.
[01:48:08]  And so, what a growing movement of women.
[01:48:10]  There was an opportunity for Trump to bring in a voting block, and he did.
[01:48:14]  And they were able to accomplish some things.
[01:48:17]  But what does that, that doesn't change the fact that, again, macro level politics, people said cheaper, don't care.
[01:48:24]  Look at aspartame, look at sodium benzoate, cheaper, don't care.
[01:48:28]  Well, it happened at first.
[01:48:29]  Yeah, that's what they say about AI too.
[01:48:31]  Like, it's better, who cares?
[01:48:32]  It's cheaper, it's easier.
[01:48:33]  But then eventually, I think it's so robotic.
[01:48:36]  I mean, it's so robotic.
[01:48:37]  It's not.
[01:48:38]  It's missing stuff.
[01:48:39]  It's actually not.

=== Accessibility In Music Streaming (04:36) ===

[01:48:40]  That's correct.
[01:48:41]  It becomes niche.
[01:48:42]  It becomes only the people that have it.
[01:48:45]  It's just, again, like the easiest example right now, we were talking about this before the show.
[01:48:50]  Sea Dance 2.0 is now in Venice.
[01:48:52]  And I think Venice might be the only one with it, which is crazy.
[01:48:55]  I could be wrong, but Sea Dance 2 is nuts.
[01:48:58]  The best AI video generator.
[01:49:00]  It's crazy.
[01:49:02]  We've been using Suno.
[01:49:03]  Suno now is on version 5.5.
[01:49:05]  Sorry.
[01:49:06]  Suno AI music is just.
[01:49:08]  Better.
[01:49:09]  Now, you could be a purist and say, but I like the raw human element.
[01:49:12]  That's fine.
[01:49:13]  But in terms of what hits the dopamine centers, Suno is better.
[01:49:17]  Thank you and have a nice day.
[01:49:18]  You can complain.
[01:49:19]  You can argue.
[01:49:20]  You can say, no way, no way.
[01:49:21]  But I tell you this the younger generations are going to say, I don't care.
[01:49:24]  This is better.
[01:49:25]  I don't know, dude.
[01:49:26]  I do.
[01:49:26]  You're wrong.
[01:49:27]  No, there's literally.
[01:49:28]  It bears it out.
[01:49:29]  It's the vibration of the human bones.
[01:49:32]  And so your DNA will activate when your body starts vibrating from hearing a person singing next to you.
[01:49:37]  The AI is replicating it better.
[01:49:40]  I don't care.
[01:49:40]  It's perfect one for one.
[01:49:43]  As soon as everything got digitized, right, then it became possible to make the exact same thing.
[01:49:50]  So when you hear like an amp simulator, right, Carter can speak to this.
[01:49:56]  When you hear amp simulators, right, you hear the same thing because what's happening is whether it be a real amp or an amp simulator, the simulations now are producing the same frequency that the amp does.
[01:50:12]  So it doesn't matter if it's a real amplifier or an amp simulator.
[01:50:17]  When you're recording it, it just gets turned into zeros and ones, gets turned into binary.
[01:50:21]  And then that same binary can now be replicated without an actual amplifier.
[01:50:27]  So that argument would say AI is going to do binary better than any other machine, but I like analog sound.
[01:50:32]  I wrote a song called Perfection is a Nuisance.
[01:50:35]  I play the acoustic guitar.
[01:50:36]  Yeah, but when people listen to music, they're always listening to something that's almost always listening to binary, unless they're actually live in the room with the person.
[01:50:44]  Yeah, or it's a record, like a record on a record player.
[01:50:47]  Those are analog.
[01:50:48]  Technically, yeah, but that's.
[01:50:49]  That's a very, very small niche group of people that are actually listening to records.
[01:50:54]  99% of the people that listen to music are listening to zeros and ones.
[01:51:00]  I like live music.
[01:51:01]  I like to watch live performances on like paced studios to, you know, different tiny desk stuff.
[01:51:08]  And it's never the same over, like, you know, it's not the record.
[01:51:12]  I just like playing it live.
[01:51:13]  I'm kind of, you guys are probably maybe more right than I'm giving you credit for because, like, I'll talk to people on the phone and it just feels like I'm talking to them.
[01:51:20]  But I can't tell the difference.
[01:51:22]  You will lose something.
[01:51:24]  You will lose soul and spirit and all the conservatives complain about it, but it won't matter because it's going to come down to cost, access, and availability.
[01:51:32]  Back in the day, to listen to music, You had to go find someone who knew how to play music.
[01:51:37]  So, going to the show was such a big deal.
[01:51:39]  I'm talking like 1800s.
[01:51:40]  It'd be like, well, finished a hard day's work and, you know, Sunday night, hey, let's go into town and hear some music.
[01:51:48]  And you wouldn't hear it otherwise.
[01:51:51]  Then we get records.
[01:51:53]  You know, you get the old, what is it, the old can recording thing that Edison had or whatever.
[01:51:58]  Yeah.
[01:51:59]  Super low quality.
[01:52:00]  And so people were like, well, it's great to have music at the home, but it's nothing like a live performance.
[01:52:05]  Why?
[01:52:06]  Have you listened to music from the 20s?
[01:52:08]  It's all lo fi.
[01:52:10]  Now.
[01:52:10]  Our speaker technology is just insane, and you'll arguably just get better, cleaner quality.
[01:52:17]  And you know, you're going to say, I do love seeing the live performance, but I got to be honest.
[01:52:24]  Like, am I really going to drive downtown to see a show?
[01:52:26]  Like, let's just go hang out.
[01:52:27]  We got music on the sound system, it's cheaper, easier, and faster.
[01:52:31]  So people will ultimately just lean towards accessibility.
[01:52:35]  And that's what is literally happening with AI music.
[01:52:38]  You might go, I love watching, you know, like, Real human music, but like my playlist is pretty good.
[01:52:45]  Is it as good as a human?
[01:52:46]  No, but it's 80%.
[01:52:47]  So it works for me.
[01:52:49]  Yeah, I've found when I don't go to a lot of live shows because I get bored.
[01:52:55]  The band plays 15 songs and I'm like, all right, the first five are good.
[01:52:58]  I'd rather pause this and play the other band now and hear another good song I like.
[01:53:03]  But you know, I'm in a live show, you have to sit there for an hour and a half and wait.
[01:53:06]  So I just kind of like, I'd rather just pick the songs I like and play them in succession, which is, I'm just accepting your point.
[01:53:13]  Well, you can watch it on YouTube, which is what I do.
[01:53:15]  Like, watch the live music and listen.

=== Primary All Incumbents Out (08:36) ===

[01:53:17]  All right.
[01:53:17]  So, we got this from Stork91.
[01:53:20]  He says, You spent two weeks in Texas.
[01:53:22]  You didn't talk to many Texans on the show.
[01:53:23]  I'm going to pause you right there.
[01:53:26]  I think only one guest wasn't living in Texas, like, wasn't a resident of Texas.
[01:53:30]  I suppose if you mean like natural born, week two was Brandon Herrera.
[01:53:34]  He means Cowboys.
[01:53:35]  Yeah.
[01:53:37]  Real Texans.
[01:53:38]  Alex Jones, Michael Malice.
[01:53:39]  What was the.
[01:53:41]  Matthew Marsden?
[01:53:42]  He's a Dallas guy, I think.
[01:53:44]  Yeah.
[01:53:44]  He contributed to the plays.
[01:53:47]  No, that was after.
[01:53:48]  Yeah, I think someone literally said this to us when we were in Austin.
[01:53:50]  They were like, How come you have more Texas guests?
[01:53:52]  And I was like, Eight of the 10 guests live here.
[01:53:55]  Like, that was the point.
[01:53:56]  You wanted to see more 10 gallon hats.
[01:53:58]  Because we don't care about the Iranian conflict.
[01:54:00]  The administration's deportation numbers are largely rounded numbers.
[01:54:03]  They stopped filing FOIA requests back in October.
[01:54:05]  They've started conflating who is getting deported from which agency from where and border crossings versus deportations.
[01:54:11]  It's illegals and H 1Bs are all we are about.
[01:54:15]  Trump is losing Texas.
[01:54:17]  Yeah, probably.
[01:54:17]  My first thought was, That's a Bot, but it's not.
[01:54:19]  But he said, We don't care about a bot on our disk.
[01:54:22]  That's not a bot.
[01:54:23]  We don't care about the Iranian war.
[01:54:24]  Like, that's a weird thing to say.
[01:54:27]  I don't even know who we are.
[01:54:28]  I think it's true that most people don't.
[01:54:30]  I think he's saying that he doesn't want the war in Iran.
[01:54:33]  All right, let's get this from Slick.
[01:54:35]  He says, Scott and Cast, you have large platforms.
[01:54:38]  Can you start a push to primary all incumbents?
[01:54:40]  Don't immediately say, but some are good.
[01:54:42]  Just primary them all out, please.
[01:54:44]  The good ones you can count on.
[01:54:46]  Call it refuse to reelect.
[01:54:47]  I'm going to.
[01:54:49]  Just this is probably, with all due respect, the 14,896,732nd time someone said, Why don't powerful influencers get the incumbents voted out?
[01:55:03]  Because you can't.
[01:55:04]  It's a long, arduous process that requires a lot of work, and you'll maybe move the needle on a handful like we saw with the progressive left, but you're not going to do a massive incumbent purge.
[01:55:14]  Here's another thing to point out the approval rating for Congress is because you're asking the nation to rate individuals.
[01:55:22]  Most counties, like, I'm sorry, most congressional districts have a favorable view of their member of Congress.
[01:55:29]  Then the nation has a negative view.
[01:55:31]  So a lot of people are like, why are Republicans like Dan Crenshaw getting elected?
[01:55:36]  Because he represents a district where they make money off of the military.
[01:55:40]  To be fair, he was primaried.
[01:55:41]  But you have districts where there are Republicans and the jobs they have are a weapons factory or a military industrial facility.
[01:55:51]  And then we say, why are the Republicans voting for this?
[01:55:54]  That guy is because if he voted against that funding, he'd get voted out of office because the people who live in his district make money off of it.
[01:56:00]  This is what people don't understand.
[01:56:02]  So, how do you vote the incumbents?
[01:56:03]  The incumbents are promising things to their district the district wants.
[01:56:07]  Just there's no collective United States that wants the same thing.
[01:56:10]  Yeah, when people say they don't like Congress, most of the time they say they don't like Congress, but they like their own congressperson.
[01:56:17]  So they're happy with the person that's delivering for their district, but they don't like the rest of Congress because the things that they want nationally don't get passed.
[01:56:27]  But in reality, people tend to be happy with their own representative.
[01:56:32]  It's just the other ones they don't like.
[01:56:35]  If I may, to this person, I make a promise right here and now if Senate Majority Leader Thune does not pass the SEAVE America Act, then I am going to Texas.
[01:56:47]  Senate Majority Leader Thune wants to protect John Cornyn in the Senate, the incumbent, and the May 26th primary Senate runoff is coming up.
[01:56:56]  So, everybody in Texas, you have the opportunity.
[01:56:59]  If Thune isn't going to give us what we want, then we are going to take away what he has.
[01:57:05]  And in Louisiana, you have Senator Cassidy, who is up for election on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020.
[01:57:11]  26.
[01:57:12]  If he doesn't get 50% of the vote, it goes to a runoff in December.
[01:57:16]  And just so this person knows, with my platform, this year I've already been to Indiana, Florida, Pennsylvania, Utah to help with redistricting.
[01:57:26]  I'm going to Indiana for the Cinco de Mayo primary.
[01:57:29]  I've been going to Virginia for the April 21st referendum.
[01:57:32]  I hope people vote no.
[01:57:33]  We have a primary in Pennsylvania on May 19th.
[01:57:36]  So, no, I promise you, I am using my platform, and I'm probably respectfully one of the only influencers on the Ground doing the actual boots on the ground work.
[01:57:46]  So you have my commitment that I'm going to continue putting in that work.
[01:57:49]  There you go.
[01:57:50]  Indeed.
[01:57:51]  And Scott has been successful in the very successful in the past.
[01:57:54]  So that's a massive white pill for you.
[01:57:56]  Texas definitely needs you, man.
[01:57:58]  So just for the last part of your question, you said they rejected the will of the people in the 24 election and put Thune in and refused a public vote.
[01:58:04]  So we knew who cited against Trump and Rick Scott.
[01:58:06]  The issue is you've got a district where he's like, I need this in the omnibus because it's going to provide $17 million to go to the medical.
[01:58:15]  Facilities in my district where we manufacture masks and syringes.
[01:58:19]  The people who live in my district need this to happen.
[01:58:22]  And the Democrat goes, Well, I'll give you the vote on it, but we're not passing the SAVE Act.
[01:58:26]  And he goes, Done, because my voters don't care.
[01:58:29]  National level, high esoteric, you know, high focused people are going to tell you about SAVE Act.
[01:58:34]  And then they're going to go back to their districts or they're going to go back to their state.
[01:58:37]  And the people are going to be like, I mean, SAVE Act is great.
[01:58:40]  I love it.
[01:58:41]  But are you getting us the funding?
[01:58:43]  And if they come to their state and say, Told the Democrats screw the funding for our state that we need for these programs because we want the Save Act.
[01:58:50]  They vote you out.
[01:58:52]  So that's the way it goes.
[01:58:55]  Unfortunately.
[01:58:57]  All right.
[01:58:57]  Let's see.
[01:58:58]  Let's try and grab what do we got here?
[01:58:59]  We got time for maybe one or two more.
[01:59:03]  What do we got here?
[01:59:06]  Let's see.
[01:59:07]  I can't tell which are questions.
[01:59:08]  You got to start your question with question.
[01:59:09]  Let's say this from Hades.
[01:59:10]  He says, Following up on Maximus's question from yesterday, what's the best way to get the outcome based regulations he discussed with you made into law and make it a strict requirement?
[01:59:19]  I guess the issue there is we don't have the question from yesterday to reference.
[01:59:23]  So I don't know what you're talking about.
[01:59:24]  Maximus.
[01:59:25]  Sorry, man.
[01:59:26]  I remember we had the question, but I don't remember the specifics of his question.
[01:59:30]  Maximus.
[01:59:32]  So let's jump down and grab the next one.
[01:59:37]  I think that question is not for us.
[01:59:42]  Okay.
[01:59:43]  Olivia says, Scott, are there other people in states like Texas, Indiana, Utah, et cetera, that can run their own statewide EVA team?
[01:59:51]  Would love your help.
[01:59:53]  Absolutely.
[01:59:54]  Our goal is to expand to other states.
[01:59:57]  I know that we want to go into Nevada.
[01:59:59]  So you can reach out to me.
[02:00:00]  You can slide into my DMs at Scott Pressler on X.
[02:00:04]  But no, listen, I need backup.
[02:00:08]  You know, sometimes I feel like I'm hitting my head against the wall doing this work on my own.
[02:00:12]  I need more people on the ground joining us, so I'd love to work with you.
[02:00:17]  Right on.
[02:00:17]  There you go.
[02:00:19]  Let's grab one more.
[02:00:21]  Haiti says Tim, imagine a bill where agencies can suggest best practices, but they must measure outcomes.
[02:00:26]  If someone achieves a better measurable result with a creative solution or alternate method, that should count.
[02:00:33]  If the regulation doesn't improve the actual outcome over time, it expires unless re justified.
[02:00:37]  I think the actual solution to that is sunset clauses in all bills.
[02:00:41]  Because.
[02:00:43]  It's going to be like you're asking for a nebulous bill.
[02:00:47]  The point he made is that regulation says you got to wear a three point harness while at work doing the specific task for safety.
[02:00:53]  But a five point harness would be better, and we're not allowed to use it because of the regulations.
[02:00:57]  So, how do we have regulations that say just do better?
[02:01:00]  The problem is it's nebulous.
[02:01:01]  So, I think the real provision is we need sunset clauses in all laws, every single one of them.
[02:01:09]  Every law will expire and must be re upped.
[02:01:11]  That's not a bad idea.
[02:01:13]  That's a great idea.
[02:01:14]  Yeah.
[02:01:14]  I mean, if it's a good policy that's produced positive results, it should be fairly easy, or you would assume.
[02:01:20]  And they'd have the omnibus law.
[02:01:24]  They'd be like, there are certain things like murder that we're keeping illegal that has to be updated every five years.
[02:01:29]  And all laws have sunsets.
[02:01:31]  And there will never be an instance where they legalize murder.
[02:01:34]  So it has to be being done.
[02:01:35]  But then there are some things that will need to be updated based on changing technology or whatever, like miscegenation laws.
[02:01:44]  Still on the books in some states.
[02:01:45]  Cohabitation law is still on the books.
[02:01:46]  Those should be sunsetting.
[02:01:47]  I think copyright laws could use a refurbish.
[02:01:51]  Perhaps.
[02:01:52]  Elon thinks so.
