=== Charged ICE Agent Incident (03:23) ===

[00:02:52]  Democrats in Minnesota have criminally charged an ICE agent over an incident that occurred in February where two individuals blocked his vehicle and then he pulled up beside him, told them he was police and to freeze.
[00:03:05]  These individuals said it was a crazy guy in SUV, called the police.
[00:03:08]  The police are now charging the ICE agent who was on his way to ICE HQ.
[00:03:14]  The story is actually a bit complicated.
[00:03:16]  These individuals who say they called the police are claiming they did not know that he was an ICE agent, but did try to obstruct his vehicle as it was on the shoulder of a highway and they were trying to, quote, cut him off a little bit.
[00:03:27]  I think this is the Democrats taking their opportunity to justify the arrest of ICE agents.
[00:03:32]  As Tom Steyer, who's the top Democrat to win in California, although he's still behind the Republicans, has threatened to arrest ICE agents.
[00:03:41]  So, oh boy, it's getting real weird out there.
[00:03:45]  And with the attack on Savannah Hernandez, it certainly seems like we're going to be in for a wild summer as we're seeing tons of leftists go out and riot.
[00:03:54]  Democrats are vowing to arrest and now are actually criminally charging people.
[00:03:58]  So, it's going to get interesting.
[00:04:00]  Now, Donald Trump's come out.
[00:04:01]  Again, attacking Tucker Carlson.
[00:04:04]  And Joe Rogan has made some statements about the Iran war, saying, What the F are we doing?
[00:04:09]  He can't quite figure it out.
[00:04:10]  And I think, of course, it's another great opportunity for us to talk about not what Trump says or Hegseth says, but what is actually happening so we can answer that question just for you, Joe.
[00:04:20]  We got a lot more stories.
[00:04:21]  It's getting pretty crazy, but we're going to get into all those.

[00:05:41]  Brewed it a few times, and I said, This is really, really good.
[00:05:45]  Loved it.

=== Appalachian Nights Success Story (15:54) ===

[00:06:16]  Good to see you, brother.
[00:06:16]  Thanks for having me on.
[00:06:17]  Absolutely.
[00:06:18]  Who are you?
[00:06:18]  What do you do?
[00:06:18]  Hey, man, I'm an independent journalist in Portland, Oregon.
[00:06:21]  Been reporting on the homeless industrial complex the last several years.
[00:06:25]  My work just kind of really exploded as the rise and the importance of independent journalism and the mistrust in mainstream media.
[00:06:32]  You know, I'm very proud to be a part of this, I would say, movement and to really just kind of disrupt this billion dollar industry.
[00:06:39]  And it is an industry, it's all fake, in my opinion.
[00:06:42]  I've worked in this industry as well, and I have experienced, man, so much fraud.
[00:06:48]  You know, so this is interesting because we're talking a lot about the Medicare, Medicaid fraud.
[00:06:51]  We're talking about, you know, in California, Ohio, Seattle.
[00:06:55]  I think next stop, we should go after the homeless fraud.
[00:06:57]  There are companies that are billing the government for tons of money and they're not actually trying to solve anything or they're lying about it.
[00:07:04]  So it'll be interesting to have you here.
[00:07:05]  A lot to talk about.
[00:07:06]  Thanks for hanging out.
[00:07:07]  Ian is here.
[00:07:07]  What's up, homie?
[00:07:09]  Let's rock and roll.
[00:07:10]  Should I intro myself?
[00:07:11]  I was just kind of.
[00:07:11]  Intro the next guy.
[00:07:12]  We also have Carter Banks.
[00:07:14]  What's up?
[00:07:14]  I am moderating the Rumble and YouTube chat tonight for you spammers, so be nice.
[00:07:19]  I also want to introduce Tate Brown, who I love.
[00:07:21]  Tate, I haven't seen you in a while.
[00:07:22]  It's good to see you, man.
[00:07:23]  It's good to see you.
[00:07:24]  You look great.
[00:07:24]  You look great.
[00:07:24]  Good to be back with the Grady, and I'm back.
[00:07:26]  Tim's here.
[00:07:27]  You got to bring that microphone closer, brother.
[00:07:29]  Tim's here.
[00:07:30]  Oh, hey.
[00:07:31]  Yeah, I am here.
[00:07:33]  Let's get into it.
[00:07:34]  Here's a story from NPR Minnesota has charged an ICE officer with assault for alleged actions during immigration surge.
[00:07:42]  I love this story because.
[00:07:44]  You got to read between the lines.
[00:07:46]  The first thing to understand is this incident they're reporting on took place February 5th.
[00:07:51]  That's about one week after Alex Pretty was shot and killed.
[00:07:54]  So, heightened tensions, to say the least.
[00:07:56]  They say state and local prosecutors in Minnesota charged an ICE officer Thursday with two counts of second degree assault with a dangerous weapon.
[00:08:02]  The criminal charges appear to be the first against a federal immigration officer for actions allegedly taken while on duty during the immigration enforcement crackdown in Minnesota.
[00:08:11]  Quote Today's charges reflect an important milestone in our efforts to seek accountability.
[00:08:16]  For the harms inflicted on our community during Operation Metro Surge.
[00:08:20]  The officers identified in the complaint is 35 year old Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr., a Maryland resident who was part of ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations Division at the time of the incident and had been detailed to the Minneapolis area.
[00:08:35]  They say on the afternoon of February 5th, Minnesota State Patrol received a 911 report that a driver in a Ford expedition had pointed a gun at two people in another vehicle along the highway in the Twin Cities area.
[00:08:46]  According to the complaint, The two alleged victims told authorities that they had been stuck in traffic when they saw an unmarked black SUV coming up from behind, driving on the shoulder of a highway in Hennepin County, where Minneapolis is located.
[00:08:57]  Thanks, NPR, for that addition.
[00:09:00]  The person driving says they briefly moved their car onto the road's shoulder in an effort to block the SUV's driver from bypassing traffic illegally and to quote, cut him off a little bit.
[00:09:10]  Both alleged victims say they did not know the other driver was a federal officer.
[00:09:15]  The complaint states that Morgan then pulled up beside them, rolled down his window, and pointed a black handgun directly at both the driver and the passenger and yelled something they couldn't discern.
[00:09:25]  One victim told state law enforcement the encounter led them to believe there was a crazy person driving down the road aiming guns at people.
[00:09:31]  The victims called 911 and took a video showing the SUV's Utah license plate.
[00:09:36]  State investigators used that data to identify the vehicle had been rented by another ICE officer, Morgan's partner.
[00:09:43]  During a voluntary interview, Morgan told state authorities he was driving to the federal Whipple building.
[00:09:48]  ISA HQ, at the end of his shift when the incident occurred.
[00:09:52]  According to the complaint, he told state law enforcement he feared for his safety when the victim's car pulled in front of him, so he drew his gun and yelled, Police, stop.
[00:09:59]  Morgan said he was trying to get the victims to back up.
[00:10:03]  There is a nationwide warrant for Morgan's arrest.
[00:10:06]  ICE and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to comment.
[00:10:09]  At Thursday's press conference, Moriarty acknowledged that Charles' charges filed against Morgan were coming ahead of any possible charges in the Alex Pretty and Renee Good, in the cases of Pretty and Good, the two U.S. citizens shot and killed.
[00:10:22]  I want to be transparent on why these situations are developing at different speeds.
[00:10:26]  The State Patrol was able to investigate thoroughly, identify Mr. Morgan, and conduct an interview with him.
[00:10:31]  Virtually none of the obstacles around evidence collection that exist for the January shootings in this case.
[00:10:35]  I'm going to tell you my opinions right away because I'm biased.
[00:10:38]  I don't think for a second these people thought it was a random SUV driving down the shoulder.
[00:10:43]  People don't typically just pull onto the shoulder to block a black unmarked SUV driving down the road.
[00:10:48]  You typically assume those are law enforcement vehicles.
[00:10:51]  At the same time, this guy who's on duty and going to end his shift sees a vehicle pull in front of him.
[00:10:57]  We've already seen ICE agents boxed in and shot at.
[00:11:01]  He's probably thinking, holy crap.
[00:11:04]  So he draws his weapon and says, police, stop, which is not illegal.
[00:11:08]  A police officer with reasonable fear, ordering someone to stop and drawing their weapon, they can do that.
[00:11:15]  Now, you might argue there was no probable cause to do this.
[00:11:19]  I would argue that's insane.
[00:11:22]  If you want to make the case that these two people genuinely did not know this was an ICE agent and they were just trying to get in the way of some guy driving illegally, which Honestly, it seems kind of weird.
[00:11:31]  I mean, maybe it happens sometimes.
[00:11:33]  The ICE agent doesn't have to know any of that.
[00:11:37]  Legally, all the agent needs to perceive is a reasonable threat or a crime being committed.
[00:11:43]  And if he was driving on the shoulder and he's a law enforcement with a legitimate reason for doing that, maybe he didn't, maybe he was, and then you pull in front of him, he suspects something may be going on, he's going to tell you to freeze and they can draw their weapon if they suspect there is a threat to them right here.
[00:12:00]  Considering what just happened with Renee Goodenpretty, Considering that we had seen ICE agents boxed in, dragged.
[00:12:07]  The agent that shot, I believe it was shot, Renee Good, had been dragged by a vehicle.
[00:12:12]  What was it, like three weeks before that incident happened?
[00:12:14]  These guys are on edge.
[00:12:16]  That doesn't justify drawing a weapon on random people, but this is not a random circumstance.
[00:12:20]  In my opinion, I think these people knew exactly who he was.
[00:12:24]  I think they recognized and they knew.
[00:12:26]  I think the people in Minnesota widely knew that there were black, unmarked, rented SUVs carrying ICE agents, and I doubt an on duty ICE agent was plain clothes.
[00:12:36]  So they likely saw a guy with police gear on or something, and then said, We're going to get in his way because that's what these activists have been doing.
[00:12:46]  I do not believe, well, he's a Maryland resident, so y'all in trouble, brother.
[00:12:50]  I'm not going to advise anything, but I will just say if he was in West Virginia, he might be safe.
[00:12:55]  But in Maryland, they are going to arrest him and ship him off, and he is going to be paraded.
[00:12:59]  They are going to use him to make an example.
[00:13:03]  Is there dash cam footage of this?
[00:13:04]  Apparently, there's just cell phone footage.
[00:13:06]  I believe they said after the fact they filmed the vehicle and the license plate.
[00:13:10]  So if someone's violating the law by driving on the shoulder, and then you also choose to go vigilante justice and break the law to hinder them, you're still breaking, these people were still breaking the law.
[00:13:20]  In which case, a law enforcement officer sees a vehicle breaking the law and he's, draws up and says, police, stop.
[00:13:29]  I, I, I, I think these people, I don't trust these people.
[00:13:31]  Well, regardless.
[00:13:32]  We didn't know what he was yelling.
[00:13:33]  I don't believe that for a second.
[00:13:34]  Regardless where your belief system is, too, it's interfering in an investigation.
[00:13:38]  Any way you look at it, doesn't matter what you think about the situation, they were interfering.
[00:13:43]  And that's the problem.
[00:13:45]  What I wonder is if they're in an unmarked vehicle without badges and they, then the guy just pulls a gun on someone, he's like, I'm a cop, get out of my way.
[00:13:52]  You're like, How am I supposed to believe you?
[00:13:54]  You're a random guy pointing a gun at me.
[00:13:56]  What am I?
[00:13:56]  Who cares if you're screaming, I'm a cop?
[00:13:58]  And so I can see if he just pulled his gun in a completely unmarked status, that probably should be illegal or should have some.
[00:14:06]  The citizen should have some recourse of protection against unmarked cops pulling guns on people because they feel threatened.
[00:14:13]  Like if you're not marked, what authority do I have?
[00:14:16]  Yelled, police stop.
[00:14:17]  But like if a random dude yelled, police stop and pointed a gun at me, how am I supposed to know if he's a cop?
[00:14:22]  So here's a lot we don't know.
[00:14:24]  I would say.
[00:14:26]  My complaint about ICE is that they're decked out in armor and they are wearing very obvious militarized or law enforcement get ups.
[00:14:37]  And I have said since before Trump got elected, the ICE operations need to be done by dudes in polo shirts and khakis.
[00:14:44]  I do not believe for a second that this guy driving a vehicle on his way to the ICE headquarters was plainclothes.
[00:14:52]  Maybe, maybe, maybe.
[00:14:54]  But in this instance, the presumption.
[00:14:57]  I'm going to make based on all of the news I've tracked it's a black SUV.
[00:15:02]  Remember the video of Freddie kicking the taillight out?
[00:15:04]  It was a black SUV, and what were the guys dressed like inside?
[00:15:08]  They were decked out in police gear.
[00:15:10]  So when a guy in decked out police gear yells, police stop.
[00:15:15]  Yeah.
[00:15:16]  Also, like Minneapolis, Minnesota, kind of infamous for not making examples out of people in politically charged moments.
[00:15:23]  I mean, nothing really comes to mind of any sort of law enforcement operation in Minnesota that probably a guy got an example made out of him.
[00:15:31]  I just can't think of anything in the last five years.
[00:15:33]  Because it's never happened one time ever.
[00:15:35]  It's certainly not Minnesota.
[00:15:37]  Certainly not.
[00:15:38]  And then also, what never happened was that a mural to the drug addled criminal exploded when it was struck by lightning on a rather sunny day.
[00:15:47]  I mean, I got to stop.
[00:15:48]  That literally happened.
[00:15:50]  I'm going to say this.
[00:15:51]  I made a tweet about how, like, recent events had maybe considered going back to church.
[00:15:54]  Let me tell you one of them.
[00:15:56]  A painting, a mural of George Floyd was made.
[00:15:59]  And then on a day that was partly cloudy with scattered rain, lightning struck only the side of the building and blew up the mural of George Floyd and left everything else intact.
[00:16:10]  It had to be metal paint.
[00:16:11]  I can't get my head around it.
[00:16:12]  I got to pull that one up.
[00:16:13]  It's crazy that it just blew his face off the side of the wall.
[00:16:16]  Yeah.
[00:16:16]  Like, they must have had, like, metal paint.
[00:16:18]  I don't know.
[00:16:18]  Or lead or some sort of.
[00:16:20]  Conductive paint.
[00:16:21]  That is freakish.
[00:16:22]  I don't know, man.
[00:16:23]  I'm into the whole thing.
[00:16:23]  This is not a joke.
[00:16:24]  This is not a joke.
[00:16:25]  I, you know, again, I told this story.
[00:16:27]  I was like talking to Basobic, Jack Basobic, and I was like, the resurrection really doesn't do much for me.
[00:16:32]  Like, a lot of people say, like, this is the proof and all that.
[00:16:34]  And I said, but you tell me there are demons.
[00:16:37]  Like, I've seen what I would describe as demonic possession.
[00:16:40]  But you talk of miracles.
[00:16:42]  Take a look at this.
[00:16:43]  This is just Google.
[00:16:44]  This is just Google.
[00:16:45]  Look at this.
[00:16:46]  A mural honoring George Floyd in Toledo.
[00:16:48]  I'm sorry, it was in Ohio, not Minnesota.
[00:16:50]  Was destroyed after being struck by lightning.
[00:16:53]  Look, when this happened, we were like, look, see this right here in the middle that got blown out?
[00:16:59]  I wonder if there's actual pictures of that's what it looked like before.
[00:17:02]  They put a crown on him, and a lot of people were like, he was a false idol.
[00:17:06]  And the lightning struck only the side of the building, destroying only the mural where the crown was.
[00:17:12]  I'm like, bro.
[00:17:13]  It's crazy.
[00:17:13]  It should have hit those poles first because they're way higher up in the air.
[00:17:16]  Not even the grass is singed.
[00:17:18]  The mural was called Take a Breath, by the way.
[00:17:22]  Dated by David Ross, yeah, in July of 2013.
[00:17:24]  Dude, this is crazy stuff.
[00:17:25]  So, anyway.
[00:17:27]  God is real.
[00:17:28]  Yeah.
[00:17:28]  But back to the actual story.
[00:17:30]  I'm just relieved that it's a first time thing.
[00:17:31]  Yeah.
[00:17:32]  I think they're going to hunt this guy down.
[00:17:35]  And I question whether or not the federal government's going to provide any kind of support.
[00:17:39]  There's something called the Supremacy Clause.
[00:17:42]  So there's also a degree of immunity that federal law enforcement agents have when carrying out their duties.
[00:17:49]  They cannot be charged by state and local officials, typically.
[00:17:52]  But state and local officials can argue that the actions taken were outside the scope.
[00:17:57]  Of duty for federal law enforcement.
[00:17:59]  Of course, this guy was on shift driving back to HQ when a vehicle obstructed him.
[00:18:05]  So, vehicles are deadly weapons.
[00:18:08]  He drew up and said, Police stop.
[00:18:10]  I guess that sounds like everything's clean.
[00:18:12]  Should he have thrown his lights?
[00:18:14]  Do ICE even have police?
[00:18:15]  They were rental vehicles.
[00:18:16]  They didn't have lights.
[00:18:16]  They may have had like, you get little lights you plug in or whatever.
[00:18:20]  Or they put him in the dash.
[00:18:21]  A normal on duty cop would just pull the guy over.
[00:18:23]  He wouldn't point at his gun and point it at the guy.
[00:18:26]  Well, considering we're coming off of.
[00:18:30]  Renee Good and Pretty.
[00:18:32]  More importantly, we had seen terror attacks against ICE.
[00:18:36]  When they shot up the ICE facility, that one guy with the rifle shot the vans up, killed illegal immigrants.
[00:18:42]  You had the, was it five Antifa guys?
[00:18:45]  Several acted like decoys outside the facility in Texas.
[00:18:48]  Then when the ICE came out to stop the protest, a guy hiding in the woods started shooting at them.
[00:18:52]  So, what are these agents supposed to think when a vehicle pulls out in front of them and blocks them in?
[00:18:58]  When that happened in Chicago, there's video of this.
[00:19:01]  They start shooting.
[00:19:02]  One vehicle rammed the ICE vehicle from behind.
[00:19:04]  So this guy's freaking out.
[00:19:07]  This is the problem.
[00:19:08]  The Democrats are going to argue he had no reason to fear harm.
[00:19:13]  They just pulled in front of him.
[00:19:15]  They will intentionally wipe out the context of every circumstance in the weeks and months leading up to this moment where ICE agents had been rammed from behind, boxed in, or shot at.
[00:19:26]  I want to see if he was marked, if he had a uniform on, if the car in any way indicated that he was an officer.
[00:19:33]  Because if not, they have a local case.
[00:19:36]  Whether or not the federal government can overstep.
[00:19:38]  Well, I mean, federal officer unmarked points a gun at you.
[00:19:41]  Like, there should be some local recourse to protect you from that.
[00:19:44]  Plain clothes cops often draw weapons on people.
[00:19:48]  Now, I agree with you that there are concerns about how we deal with that.
[00:19:52]  Because in the case of it was.
[00:19:56]  Brianna Taylor, what was her name?
[00:19:58]  The one in Louisville.
[00:19:59]  The woman where they shot through the apartment.
[00:20:00]  The no knock warrant thing.
[00:20:01]  Yeah, was that Brianna Taylor?
[00:20:02]  Yeah, that was Brianna Taylor.
[00:20:03]  Brianna Taylor, yeah.
[00:20:04]  Her boyfriend got acquitted because he said he did not know it was police who were shooting into the building, and so he shot back.
[00:20:11]  And they said, okay.
[00:20:12]  None of those cops.
[00:20:13]  Well, actually, it may not be true.
[00:20:14]  I think those cops did get in trouble because the system is.
[00:20:16]  Well, some of their bullets went through the wall.
[00:20:18]  It was kind of reckless.
[00:20:20]  Could have hit somebody else.
[00:20:21]  That was the whole proposition was preposterous.
[00:20:22]  They're like, she was killed because of her race, and they literally never saw her physically.
[00:20:25]  There was no way for them to know that she was black.
[00:20:27]  But the point is.
[00:20:28]  If a police officer has legitimate fear of harm, they're allowed to draw their weapon and tell you not to move, plain clothes or otherwise.
[00:20:37]  I agree with you that there are problems there.
[00:20:39]  Like, some dude will, like, a guy will be outside your door and you'll see him through a ring camera or whatever, and he's wearing a hoodie and jeans and he's holding a gun.
[00:20:47]  You're not going to assume a cop.
[00:20:48]  So, what do you do, right?
[00:20:50]  However, my point ultimately is upon the resolution of this matter, it's clean.
[00:20:57]  Local officials and prosecutors should have said nobody was hurt.
[00:21:01]  It was a federal law enforcement officer telling people to stop.
[00:21:04]  Case dismissed.
[00:21:05]  There's nothing to charge here.
[00:21:06]  Yeah, I think anyone reasonably would infer that if they've just committed a crime, or at least they're like, whoa, I just might have done some sort of legal violation in whatever capacity, and then you're engaged by someone with a firearm, you would probably assume, okay, that's law enforcement.
[00:21:20]  I understand what you're saying.
[00:21:22]  If those two are just walking down the street and then a guy pulls a gun on them, it's like, yeah, you're not going to think that's a cop.
[00:21:26]  But in this instance, when again, something suspect just went down, and then you're engaged by someone, Saying I'm police and they have a firearm, you'd probably assume that's a police officer or some sort of law enforcement agent.
[00:21:37]  Now, I had a job, I was embedded with police officers for five years.
[00:21:40]  So I worked directly with them, went on a good thousand missions, right?
[00:21:45]  One thing that's really important too, because I'm very much a strong supporter of public safety, is we got to also make sure that we vet these officers because we're giving them an enormous amount of responsibility.
[00:21:58]  I was very fortunate to work with some really solid police officers.
[00:22:02]  But I'm a big believer in vetting them and basically holding them to a higher standard big time.
[00:22:06]  It's extremely important.
[00:22:08]  With the stuff I did, emotions are always high.

=== Vetting Police Temperament (02:55) ===

[00:22:10]  We weren't always liked, and you had to keep cool 100% of the time.
[00:22:14]  And that was not easy sometimes.
[00:22:15]  I don't think any human's capable of it, personally, of 100%.
[00:22:19]  Extremely difficult.
[00:22:19]  Do you think robots would be better police officers?
[00:22:21]  No.
[00:22:23]  Did you see the video of the robot chasing the pigs?
[00:22:26]  I heard about it.
[00:22:27]  The pigs got away.
[00:22:28]  Yeah.
[00:22:29]  That sucks.
[00:22:29]  I'm not kidding.
[00:22:30]  There's a video a robot was chasing after some escaped wild boars.
[00:22:32]  They're impressive in that.
[00:22:33]  Yeah, they made a.
[00:22:34]  I should pull that one.
[00:22:34]  What are you calling the drone fella?
[00:22:35]  The flyers.
[00:22:36]  I was laughing my ass off when I saw this video.
[00:22:38]  And a lot of things are always taken out of context.
[00:22:40]  I met, remember once we checked on a homeless woman who was suicidal, and four officers and myself were talking with her.
[00:22:49]  And across the street, there was a lady filming us yelling, say, look, the homeless are harassing, or sorry, the police are harassing the homeless, right?
[00:22:56]  And the most miraculous thing happened is the homeless woman stood up, walked across the street, and said, no, they're helping me.
[00:23:02]  Stop, whatever you're doing, turn it off.
[00:23:05]  But everything's taken out of context.
[00:23:06]  So what this person was hoping.
[00:23:08]  Is that they would get a 20 second clip of four large police officers and myself surrounding a homeless woman as if we're harassing her when we're actually trying to talk her through her mental health crisis.
[00:23:20]  And that's what we dealt with every single day things were taken out of context.
[00:23:25]  They didn't add the whole video, they would look for five seconds and be like, how dare they?
[00:23:29]  And that was almost never the case.
[00:23:32]  Man, you have more experience with police officers probably than anybody in the room.
[00:23:36]  I was very fortunate to be embedded with them for a long time.
[00:23:39]  So I got to see firsthand what they go through.
[00:23:42]  And it's extremely difficult.
[00:23:45]  You know, emotions are high.
[00:23:47]  People would sometimes like jump out of bushes with fake guns, thinking it was funny to point them at officers.
[00:23:54]  And the officers, you know, like they're well trained.
[00:23:57]  So like they would split up, two would drop to the ground, two would like point.
[00:24:01]  And I'm like, this is crazy.
[00:24:03]  And it happened all the time.
[00:24:05]  And usually it was just like dumb kids thinking it was funny.
[00:24:07]  They were just very lucky.
[00:24:09]  The officers I worked with were so well trained, they never crossed any of those lines.
[00:24:15]  But one would argue, too, you almost would expect them to sometimes because what do you expect?
[00:24:20]  Because you never know whether their life isn't truly in danger or not.
[00:24:23]  Yeah, I don't want to, like, obviously it's personal and like I don't want to call anybody out, but like, did you see guys break?
[00:24:29]  Did you see them?
[00:24:29]  Like, I can't take it anymore, but I'm still here.
[00:24:31]  I've seen a few lose their cool, where after hours and hours of extremely difficult work where they're just being yelled out.
[00:24:39]  They would lash back out on them.
[00:24:41]  And then a sergeant would step in and be like, You need to stand down, go in your car, or clock out, whatever.
[00:24:48]  And so, luckily, we also had a good sergeant.
[00:24:51]  And the job of a sergeant is just to make sure that their four to five officers are doing their job.
[00:24:56]  And a sergeant's job is to make sure, Do they have the temperament for this in this moment?
[00:25:01]  If they don't, a good sergeant will tell them, Walk away.

=== Future of Policing Video (05:46) ===

[00:25:05]  And that's what you always hope for.
[00:25:07]  It's not always the case.
[00:25:08]  I want to show you the future of policing right here with this video.
[00:25:16]  Where is this happening?
[00:25:17]  Poland.
[00:25:18]  He's so.
[00:25:19]  Get him!
[00:25:20]  Whoa!
[00:25:21]  Come on.
[00:25:21]  He has infinite stamina.
[00:25:22]  Come on, brother.
[00:25:23]  You can do it.
[00:25:24]  I believe in you.
[00:25:25]  Run him down, dude.
[00:25:26]  Just like the old hominids.
[00:25:28]  Yo, what is it?
[00:25:30]  Yo, this is holographic.
[00:25:32]  Suddenly, I'm not so worried about the Terminator anymore.
[00:25:34]  Bro, he should be radioing.
[00:25:35]  Look, he just gives up.
[00:25:38]  There's another one there.
[00:25:39]  What?
[00:25:40]  What's going on?
[00:25:40]  Wild boar friend of yours.
[00:25:41]  Okay, this is staged.
[00:25:42]  This is fake.
[00:25:43]  It's gotta be, dude.
[00:25:44]  It's gotta be.
[00:25:44]  It's too funny.
[00:25:45]  It's like they overlaid a horse trolley.
[00:25:47]  Should we buy one of these guys?
[00:25:49]  Yeah.
[00:25:51]  Yes.
[00:25:51]  Every year.
[00:25:52]  How do I do it?
[00:25:53]  Yeah, as they upgrade it.
[00:25:54]  Yeah.
[00:25:54]  And then, like, put him in a museum as the years go on, you know, like the original Model T, because you know you're not going to be able to buy these old ones anymore.
[00:26:01]  Yo, he's $20,000.
[00:26:02]  Whoa.
[00:26:03]  Probably worth $20,000.
[00:26:04]  If it can do anything, sweep the floors around here from Robo Store.
[00:26:08]  A new Kia.
[00:26:09]  That feels interesting.
[00:26:10]  Can you open up Robo Store?
[00:26:11]  What is going on?
[00:26:12]  Robo Shop.
[00:26:12]  I don't know if it can do grocery runs yet, but it could keep this place clean.
[00:26:15]  Yeah.
[00:26:15]  I mean, if there's any hogs, it could at least try.
[00:26:18]  It can at least try.
[00:26:19]  I mean, the hogs would be stuck in the building at least, so they would have.
[00:26:21]  To, I mean, you'd have some.
[00:26:22]  Wait, did they train robots to learn how to fire weapons?
[00:26:25]  That'll be fun.
[00:26:26]  They already have those.
[00:26:26]  I mean, like dogs, because they can sprint and shoot.
[00:26:29]  Yo, these are too expensive.
[00:26:30]  What the.
[00:26:31]  I'm not buying this.
[00:26:32]  There's going to be probably $60,000?
[00:26:36]  Just to give up halfway after chasing some pigs?
[00:26:38]  What animals can they catch, do we know?
[00:26:40]  Probably, you can't catch a pig.
[00:26:41]  What can you catch?
[00:26:42]  Sloths.
[00:26:43]  Enough to catch a sloth.
[00:26:44]  To sleep?
[00:26:45]  Maybe?
[00:26:46]  Sleeping sloth.
[00:26:47]  Good luck catching me.
[00:26:49]  There are no robots on sale at RoboStore.
[00:26:52]  Maybe if I try RoboStore.
[00:26:53]  Squirt guns turn out to be our best defense.
[00:26:55]  Squirt guns, it's over.
[00:26:56]  That's why everyone's worried about AI and the squirt guns.
[00:26:58]  We were super soakers all along.
[00:26:59]  Yeah, let's see what we got going on here at the Robo Store.
[00:27:02]  Let's look at the full lineup.
[00:27:03]  I'm stamped for the robots, but I think that's because I've been.
[00:27:05]  Humanoids.
[00:27:07]  Look at that.
[00:27:08]  Hey, there we go.
[00:27:09]  That's the guy.
[00:27:10]  He can dance, but he can't catch a pig.
[00:27:13]  He's just too.
[00:27:14]  Unitree humanoids.
[00:27:16]  It can beat people apparently with the.
[00:27:18]  Whoa, look at that.
[00:27:20]  He's going to spin it.
[00:27:21]  Okay.
[00:27:21]  He's like Donovan.
[00:27:22]  He's not very good at it.
[00:27:23]  He's not even a good spin.
[00:27:25]  They're showing us the cruddy version on purpose because they got the good ones behind the scenes.
[00:27:29]  Yeah.
[00:27:29]  They're just going to unleash them all at once.
[00:27:31]  Should I spend $17,000 on what?
[00:27:35]  What's the difference between this one?
[00:27:37]  Why is this one $60,000?
[00:27:38]  Is that the best standard versus.
[00:27:40]  How about the one that's $17,000?
[00:27:41]  Two hours of battery life, 23 degrees.
[00:27:43]  Two hours?
[00:27:44]  He can probably walk back to the charging station on his own.
[00:27:47]  Tactile Inspire, five hands and wrists.
[00:27:49]  Can we hang out with you?
[00:27:50]  Can you chop it?
[00:27:51]  Look at this guy.
[00:27:51]  This guy's cheap.
[00:27:52]  Oh, yeah, he might be able to play Magic.
[00:27:53]  Bro, if he can get good at Magic, Tim.
[00:27:55]  Tim, he could beat you at Magic.
[00:27:56]  How about this $100,000 one?
[00:27:58]  Buy what it can do.
[00:28:00]  This one could play soccer.
[00:28:01]  Look at that.
[00:28:02]  You can actually.
[00:28:02]  Well, I mean, the Apple products that are.
[00:28:04]  Oh, this one's got a face, dude.
[00:28:06]  Whatever you buy will be obsolete in six months.
[00:28:09]  I know, right?
[00:28:09]  Yep.
[00:28:10]  And it'll probably be $7,000 if it's even the model.
[00:28:13]  Tell me what you're on about.
[00:28:14]  You'll be embarrassed.
[00:28:15]  This is the standard trim package.
[00:28:17]  But what does it do?
[00:28:19]  OAC roll up.
[00:28:20]  What does it do?
[00:28:21]  Can I get the groceries from my car and bring it in?
[00:28:24]  Probably.
[00:28:24]  I'm sure it could.
[00:28:26]  But I don't need it because I'm a man and I can carry all the groceries in one go.
[00:28:29]  It can definitely play magic.
[00:28:30]  It could do a show.
[00:28:32]  Stream live, stream live, mop, have takes, play magic, and be funny.
[00:28:36]  Yeah, these have takes.
[00:28:37]  Oh, you know, to be honest, a camera person, seriously, if you were trying to vlog and buying one of these robots is cheaper than hiring somebody, it's a basic thing.
[00:28:48]  And then it just follows you around and it's filming as it's following behind you, and then you just turn around and talk to it, and that's pretty wild.
[00:28:53]  It's like if you're covering a protest and they beat up a humanoid robot, that's worse than just breaking a camera.
[00:28:58]  It feels like it feels like it's breaking apart.
[00:29:00]  I mean, but you know what I would do is I would program it so that it would.
[00:29:04]  Be really sad when it's getting beaten.
[00:29:05]  So when the people are beating, it's going, no, please.
[00:29:08]  Go to the fetal position.
[00:29:09]  I can't breathe.
[00:29:11]  I can't breathe.
[00:29:14]  Hands up, don't shoot.
[00:29:16]  The robots.
[00:29:16]  And they'd be like, he's speaking our language.
[00:29:18]  He's communicating.
[00:29:20]  He's one of us.
[00:29:22]  I think you should get one, but they don't.
[00:29:24]  You know what's really funny?
[00:29:25]  I bet you can plug your phone into it to charge your phone.
[00:29:27]  Oh.
[00:29:28]  So you're like walking down the street and you like plug your phone in and it's just walking next to you.
[00:29:31]  It's got like 17 phones plugged into them all these years.
[00:29:33]  But here's what you do.
[00:29:34]  Here's the best part the people who have the AI waifus from like ChatGPT or whatever, you just mount the tablet to the face.
[00:29:41]  And then as you're walking, you can talk to your AI waifu.
[00:29:45]  Be nice, you know.
[00:29:45]  I wonder if a dude's gonna get the AI waifu robot and then get a male robot just to watch him go at it.
[00:29:50]  I will say, Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[00:29:52]  I'm just wondering, you're calling him a cuck, yeah, yeah.
[00:29:54]  If he's into that five years, they're gonna have skin, in five years, they'll have skin and body parts.
[00:29:59]  I know, yeah, and then it's gonna get extra weird.
[00:30:06]  Cyber, that's crazy, Cyber Daddy, because it'll be like your VR robot avatar, and then you'll it'll actually be the real robot as well, so you'll be able to do it in your dreams and in waking life.
[00:30:16]  It'll be the one robot is just like I want a lemon.
[00:30:19]  Yeah.
[00:30:20]  And you're like, okay.
[00:30:21]  Or like the guy gets a girlfriend and she's like, it's not working out between us.
[00:30:25]  What if you get dumped by an AI robot?
[00:30:27]  Reformat you.
[00:30:28]  Reformat.
[00:30:30]  That's that whole movie, Companion.
[00:30:31]  Did you guys see that movie?
[00:30:32]  Oh, I've not.
[00:30:33]  It's where this woman's a robot and spoiler, I guess, they hack her firmware so that she murders a guy so they can blame the robot on going rogue or whatever.
[00:30:46]  But then she becomes self aware or something.
[00:30:49]  And then, you know.
[00:30:50]  I've been sent to be self aware too.

=== AI Robot Breakup Scenarios (15:44) ===

[00:30:52]  I've got so much.
[00:30:54]  Concern about the robot coming, robot armies, and things that we're going to be seeing, the drone ellipse or whatever you want to call it.
[00:31:00]  But you deal with humans.
[00:31:01]  I mean, you're basically in the depth of humanity with dealing with the homelessness.
[00:31:05]  Do you see any value to bringing robots to help this thing, like clean up the parks, protect the people?
[00:31:11]  Well, my biggest concern always is that they're going to replace people.
[00:31:15]  I mean, I guess it would be okay if they're doing the mundane jobs.
[00:31:19]  But you know, most stores now have those robots that now just clean the floors.
[00:31:24]  And maybe that's good that we don't have to.
[00:31:26]  But at some point, we're just going to replace humans from doing most types of activities.
[00:31:32]  And that's a little bit of a concern of mine.
[00:31:34]  It's like basic income.
[00:31:36]  How do you see it?
[00:31:37]  Well, what are we going to do to be productive members of society?
[00:31:41]  Well, basic income is not possible.
[00:31:45]  The funny thing about universal basic income is that it violates the laws of thermodynamics.
[00:31:49]  When you need to get into politics, it just violates the laws of thermodynamics.
[00:31:52]  You cannot have an output that is greater than your input.
[00:31:55]  Just thank you.
[00:31:57]  So, the idea that you will have tons of people not doing anything but getting stuff is just not possible.
[00:32:04]  What if we're doing like if some people are overloading the system with electricity because they're taking in solar, and then those people get a lot of money, but they're giving so much that there's enough left over to give the basic income to the rest?
[00:32:15]  Well, while it's probably inevitable, doesn't mean I have to necessarily support it.
[00:32:19]  I'm old school.
[00:32:20]  I don't think it is inevitable because it can't be done.
[00:32:24]  You cannot give every.
[00:32:25]  There's a million and one issues with this.
[00:32:27]  And it's funny.
[00:32:28]  Charles Murray wrote about this because he proposed a $10,000 per year universal basic income.
[00:32:35]  The problem then is if you give people below a certain threshold of income, UBI, people who make slightly above that will stop working.
[00:32:44]  You will then inhibit productivity.
[00:32:46]  So if someone makes $20,000 a year, but everyone else is getting $10K for free, but works zero hours and they're getting $20K for 40 hours, they're going to say, So I can work zero hours for half the money?
[00:32:56]  I can make it work.
[00:32:58]  I'll panhandle.
[00:32:58]  I'll busk.
[00:32:59]  I'll work under the table, try and find some way.
[00:33:02]  So he proposes no, just give everyone 10K.
[00:33:06]  That way it's a baseline that you get access to.
[00:33:09]  And then after that, what you want for luxuries, you earn.
[00:33:14]  Still doesn't work because I guarantee you there will be a lot of people who work at McDonald's, Taco Bell, Target, Walmart, or otherwise.
[00:33:22]  And I'm not disparaging those jobs.
[00:33:23]  But I got to be honest go to anybody who works at a Starbucks and say, You can work 40 hours a week for $10,000 plus an additional 15 with your hourly wage, or work zero and just take the 10K.
[00:33:35]  And they're going to be like, bro, me and my friends are going to rent out a studio apartment for dirt, and we're all going to sleep on bunk beds so we don't have to go to work anymore and we can just go smell the flowers.
[00:33:45]  Okay.
[00:33:46]  If you're doing that, and I'll tell you, these people exist, we know they do, then who's going to be maintaining the box stores?
[00:33:53]  Who's going to be doing low skilled labor?
[00:33:56]  Considering what we already see with homelessness in your experience as well.
[00:34:00]  Imagine if we just told a lot of people you don't have to work for a base level anymore.
[00:34:04]  People will say, okay, and they'll stop.
[00:34:06]  And then your input drops dramatically, but your output increases exponentially.
[00:34:11]  Yeah, Kevin, if you saw that, because you already said you're kind of against it, but if you saw all those homeless people that you've been working with all of a sudden had $10,000 a year coming in, would that help them in your estimation?
[00:34:22]  Well, probably not.
[00:34:23]  But real quick, it would help everybody else because a lot of them would overdose much more quickly and then they'd be gone.
[00:34:30]  Ooh, you're thinking outside the box.
[00:34:32]  I'm being sarcastic, but.
[00:34:34]  It's probably true.
[00:34:35]  Given a person with a history of lax critical thinking and rational thought, $10,000 will blow it in all the wrong reasons and they will die off very, very quickly.
[00:34:46]  Maybe that's the actual plan.
[00:34:48]  Give everybody the money and then all the drug addicts just drug addict out right away.
[00:34:52]  They go full OD clavicular, you know what I mean?
[00:34:54]  Yeah, without structure, a homeless addict with $10,000, 95% of the time, will use it for the wrong reasons and end up killing themselves.
[00:35:07]  If they're getting it in pieces, like $200 a week or $500 a week or something, you think it'd be the same problem?
[00:35:11]  In some ways, you know, I was in Anchorage, Alaska a couple years ago doing a homeless documentary with Tyler Oliveira and the natives there, the native Alaskans, receive like stock.
[00:35:23]  So, because they're Alaskan, they receive this stipend every month, right?
[00:35:27]  And virtually every single one uses that towards drinking and drugs.
[00:35:32]  And they all admitted, well, we don't really have to try that hard because the state takes care of us.
[00:35:38]  And that's an issue.
[00:35:38]  So, some got 200, some got 400, kind of depend on what type of Alaskan they were or what percent Alaskan they were.
[00:35:45]  And so, at least in that case, it certainly didn't work.
[00:35:48]  We should relocate the show to Alaska.
[00:35:50]  I would like to check it out.
[00:35:51]  That'd be cool.
[00:35:51]  Oh, bro, Alaska's actually pretty awesome.
[00:35:53]  We should go for a week or something.
[00:35:54]  Yeah, Alaska.
[00:35:55]  You know what we should do?
[00:35:57]  We wanted to do the show in Nome.
[00:35:59]  Is that the most northern city?
[00:36:00]  The dog sled?
[00:36:00]  No, it's a dog sled one.
[00:36:04]  Alaska is phenomenal.
[00:36:06]  80% of the homeless people I met there were missing minimum two to three fingers and toes.
[00:36:12]  Wow.
[00:36:12]  Frostbite?
[00:36:13]  Yeah, frostbite.
[00:36:14]  And several had no fingers or toes because if you fall asleep even once on the cold night, you're going to lose something.
[00:36:23]  And so what you see at night, and I wanted to experience it, So, on their last night there, I decided to stay up all night.
[00:36:30]  And what the homeless will do in at least Anchorage is they stay awake all night, they sleep during the day, right?
[00:36:36]  The ones who sleep outdoors, and you can't just like sit outdoors.
[00:36:40]  So, what you do is you walk in circles around this park.
[00:36:43]  And so, for seven hours, I walked with them and interviewed them, and they do it to stay warm, but they're all drinking too.
[00:36:50]  And fentanyl is pretty difficult to get in Alaska.
[00:36:53]  So, the drug of choice there seems to be alcohol and a little bit of meth, right?
[00:36:57]  So, all night long, they just walked.
[00:37:00]  And then, when it hit 9, 10 a.m., when it got a little bit nicer out, that's when they slept.
[00:37:04]  Because you sleep in the nighttime, you will die or at least lose a limb.
[00:37:10]  When you say meth, is it crystal meth?
[00:37:12]  Is that the type of methamphetamine they're in?
[00:37:14]  But really, it just seems to be alcohol.
[00:37:15]  Vodka was by far very, very popular.
[00:37:19]  It's interesting that, like in the desert, they'll sleep, they'll be awake at night, at least at Burning Man, I was.
[00:37:25]  And then we sleep during the day till 4 p.m., but they just do that up north.
[00:37:29]  Yep.
[00:37:29]  Yeah, it's where the Iditarod ends, I believe.
[00:37:32]  Is that what it is?
[00:37:33]  It ends there?
[00:37:34]  I think it ends there, yeah.
[00:37:34]  Yeah.
[00:37:35]  What's that?
[00:37:35]  And we were actually, I was up there and we were talking to some people about possibly sponsoring some of the dog sledders.
[00:37:41]  That'd be cool.
[00:37:42]  Because while it's very well known, the Iditarod, it's actually not well funded to a great degree relative to a lot of other, I guess you'd call it heritage sports or whatever.
[00:37:52]  And so we were talking to a handful of people, like it'd be cool to sponsor somebody.
[00:37:56]  It's pretty nuts how they do the dog sled race.
[00:38:00]  It's through the wilderness basically, yeah.
[00:38:02]  Yeah, like GoPro.
[00:38:03]  Are they at the point where they're GoProing and even the dog?
[00:38:05]  I don't know.
[00:38:06]  Put a star link on one of those sleds and then just live stream the whole thing.
[00:38:10]  Wasn't Palin's husband a world champion?
[00:38:13]  Oh, sledder or something.
[00:38:15]  Go back to Chris.
[00:38:16]  I've heard.
[00:38:17]  I didn't know.
[00:38:17]  Look like kind of north of it.
[00:38:18]  There's a place called Mary's Igloo.
[00:38:19]  I want to go there.
[00:38:21]  Mary's Igloo, huh?
[00:38:22]  It's on the map.
[00:38:23]  Mary, anyway.
[00:38:24]  Mary, there's nothing there, bro.
[00:38:25]  It's green.
[00:38:25]  Wait, wait.
[00:38:26]  Oh, there's the igloo.
[00:38:27]  There's little houses.
[00:38:29]  Oh, bro, of course, Alaska's farming season is insanely long.
[00:38:34]  In the summer, there's no night.
[00:38:36]  Right, so it's just daytime all the time.
[00:38:38]  That's when I want to go.
[00:38:39]  We want to do that.
[00:38:40]  24 hours of sunlight.
[00:38:42]  Maybe Mary's Igloo Tree.
[00:38:43]  It's not, well, in the Arctic Circle, you will get it, but there's no trees up there either because there's no grass, it's just mud.
[00:38:49]  So in the summer, it's all mud, and in the winter, it's just tundra.
[00:38:52]  You have to go below the Arctic Circle because trees don't grow in the Arctic Circle.
[00:38:56]  No trees.
[00:38:57]  One thing interesting about, at least, with the homeless crisis in Alaska, is there they don't put up with any crap, the local government.
[00:39:03]  And for the first time ever, I would see them literally just bulldoze erect tents, right?
[00:39:10]  Basically, just announce time for you to go.
[00:39:14]  And they would bring out their bulldozers.
[00:39:16]  And I filmed it and I was just shocking.
[00:39:18]  They are super, super aggressive there.
[00:39:20]  I heard now, California is known for being going easy on the homeless population.
[00:39:23]  Yes.
[00:39:24]  But I heard my friend was working up in San Francisco and she said they would come out at 4 a.m. with fire hoses and blast dudes off the sidewalk with fire hoses.
[00:39:32]  And she got footage of it.
[00:39:33]  And then the footage was banned off the internet and like, They kept it secret.
[00:39:36]  Have you heard of that then?
[00:39:37]  So I got to fact check.
[00:39:39]  Trees can grow in the Arctic Circle, but just in the southern portion, as you get further north and you get permafrost, they can't actually grow in the river.
[00:39:45]  Because it's even frozen in the summer, which is wild.
[00:39:47]  So what the Inuit would do is they would dig huge holes and they would throw all the whale into the hole because it's frozen even throughout the summer.
[00:39:54]  It's a natural ice box.
[00:39:55]  Yeah.
[00:39:56]  Well, regardless of how liberal a city is, if it's considered a tourist city, they will use high powered water early mornings to keep it clean so tourism thrives.
[00:40:08]  Oh, So, they'll get rid of like feces, but also the people that might be producing that.
[00:40:12]  So, you'll see this in San Francisco and Portland, where tourism is big, certain areas.
[00:40:19]  So, even if it's very liberal government, they still admit that tourism is so important that they will do that, like, you know, which most activists wouldn't be okay with.
[00:40:29]  But the fact is, they still need to generate income.
[00:40:31]  Yeah.
[00:40:32]  It seems like if tourism is enough to make them snap and hit dudes with water hoses, that there might be other things that might cause that too, like an invasion.
[00:40:39]  Who knows what kind of things?
[00:40:40]  So, maybe we should try and.
[00:40:44]  Dude, this homeless industrial thing is crazy because if you get these people off the street, that industry fails.
[00:40:49]  Yeah, and let's.
[00:40:51]  All the jobs are lost, bro.
[00:40:52]  And here's the irony or whatever.
[00:40:54]  The very people we've placed in charge to end the crisis are benefiting from the crisis.
[00:40:58]  Well, they don't want it to stop.
[00:41:00]  No, they don't.
[00:41:01]  What once was a cause has become this multi billion dollar industry, right?
[00:41:05]  I'm in my early 50s.
[00:41:07]  I've done this a long time.
[00:41:08]  And it truly felt, certainly in the 90s, we were making a real effort, at least from what I observed.
[00:41:14]  Over the last 10 years, it's become very radicalized.
[00:41:17]  The system.
[00:41:18]  Where it became less of a humanitarian crisis and more of an ideological one.
[00:41:25]  And that's kind of when things changed.
[00:41:27]  And so, for a lot of these activists who work within the system, they consider this an ideological fight.
[00:41:33]  Oh, so instead of trying to help the homeless, they're trying to stop homelessness, an idea.
[00:41:37]  Well, what they're trying to do is they're trying to abolish capitalism because what they will say is that the root cause of homelessness, addiction, crime, all of it is capitalism.
[00:41:49]  So, their focus, what I've seen, Isn't really to end homelessness, it's to abolish capitalism because if they do, homelessness will naturally end itself.
[00:41:59]  But which is insane, it makes no sense, and it's never gonna happen.
[00:42:02]  Oh, yeah.
[00:42:02]  I mean, look, we could get into the argument about what role capitalism has to play with everything.
[00:42:08]  But for me, when I see a homeless person nodded out or on the street, I don't care how they got there and whether it was capitalism or addiction or mental illness or childhood trauma.
[00:42:18]  My concern is that they're there, and we as a community gotta find a way to help them because this doesn't work for them and it doesn't work for us.
[00:42:26]  That's it.
[00:42:26]  Yeah, my experience.
[00:42:28]  So I spent time in Seattle.
[00:42:29]  Are you familiar with the Avrats?
[00:42:31]  What that refers to?
[00:42:33]  No, but I know Seattle very well.
[00:42:34]  University Avenue has a group of homeless kids, teenagers, called the AV Rats.
[00:42:39]  I know what you're talking about now, yeah.
[00:42:41]  It is a desirable and status thing to be.
[00:42:44]  And so a lot of these young kids that I met, teenagers, so I was like 21 at the time, so they were like 17.
[00:42:50]  They would hop the rails and from all over the country ride the freight to Seattle to be homeless in the university district, intentionally to be one of the rats.
[00:43:00]  And so there was like, I don't know, 10 or 12 of them.
[00:43:03]  And, uh, I'd ask people, be like those kids that are always here.
[00:43:07]  And they're like, yeah, those are the rats.
[00:43:08]  They want to be here.
[00:43:09]  They want to be homeless.
[00:43:10]  You're not going to get them to leave.
[00:43:12]  They live this life on purpose.
[00:43:13]  I remember in Venice, California, people would be living in their vans on the beach.
[00:43:17]  I thought it was cool in 2007 because I was kind of rough.
[00:43:21]  But then they just made it illegal and they were all gone.
[00:43:23]  I was kind of sad.
[00:43:24]  But I don't know.
[00:43:26]  So many people choose to live outdoors.
[00:43:28]  People, I get so much hate when I say this.
[00:43:32]  And why I really started to decide to do this journalism was because people kept saying that's not true.
[00:43:38]  When I say it, So I was like, screw it.
[00:43:40]  I'll just turn my camera on the homeless and say, like, so would you like housing today?
[00:43:44]  And they're like, no, I don't.
[00:43:45]  And that's when everything changed because everyone was like, wait, is this actually true?
[00:43:50]  Because the narrative has always been this housing ends homelessness.
[00:43:53]  And why?
[00:43:53]  Because housing is a multi billion dollar industry.
[00:43:56]  It's huge.
[00:43:56]  Yeah, it's my favorite thing.
[00:43:59]  These liberals like to say, did you know that there are more empty homes than homeless?
[00:44:03]  It's because of these bankers investing in property that people can't get them.
[00:44:07]  And I'm just like, if you, let me just ask you if you took the average homeless person, Like that, that you've encountered, and put them in a house, what do you think would happen?
[00:44:16]  They would destroy the house, they would either get kicked out or the place would burn down.
[00:44:21]  No, assuming it's just here you go, the house is yours now.
[00:44:24]  And I say those with all due respect, it's just they weren't prepared, right?
[00:44:27]  And this is why the housing first model is so flawed you don't just put a person living on the streets in the middle of their addiction, off their mental health meds, into housing, they don't know how to adjust.
[00:44:39]  You have so what I've always said is shelter first housing earned, prepare them for permanent, but I don't think you can.
[00:44:47]  Not always, no.
[00:44:48]  I don't think people, millennials, only half of millennials own homes.
[00:44:53]  Gen Z, I think it's like something like, what is it, 7% or some tiny number?
[00:44:57]  And so without this generational experience, they just don't get it.
[00:45:03]  It is not easy to own a house.
[00:45:05]  It is not easy.
[00:45:06]  So, you got this Pita Tear tax in New York that Zorhan Mamdani says we're going to tax the millionaires and the billionaires and all that stuff.
[00:45:12]  What he doesn't understand is that these billionaires are spending a ton of money maintaining these buildings and hiring staff to take care of them.
[00:45:19]  You can't just have an empty building sitting around.
[00:45:22]  Animals will break in, mold, bugs, mold, a pipe will break.
[00:45:27]  So, I own a piece of property out of the state, and we have check ins once a week from somebody who works in the area.
[00:45:36]  One day they call us, like, oh, a pipe burst.
[00:45:39]  What is it?
[00:45:39]  What happened?
[00:45:40]  Oh, it's destroyed.
[00:45:41]  The floors are ruined.
[00:45:42]  You got to redo everything.
[00:45:43]  How much is it?
[00:45:43]  It's 10 grand.
[00:45:45]  Because nobody was there and a pipe burst and the pipe burst and was leaking for like three or four days.
[00:45:51]  I had an incident in my house where the water was running and then it wasn't draining as fast.
[00:45:58]  So the water got turned on and it looks like it's draining.
[00:46:02]  But the drain wasn't clearing as fast as the water was filling up.
[00:46:05]  But you couldn't tell right away because first the pipe down there starts filling up.
[00:46:09]  So, you turn the water on, it looks like it's draining.
[00:46:11]  Well, after an hour, it was just pouring all over the ground $10,000 in damages from like 30 minutes of water overflow.
[00:46:19]  The carpets are soaked.
[00:46:20]  They had to bring in those big machines to dry everything out, cut out the drywall, redo the wood.
[00:46:25]  You take a homeless person and you factor in the accidental water damage that might occur, that place will burn down.
[00:46:33]  It will burn down.
[00:46:34]  We've already seen what happens with these houses.

=== NYC Homelessness Crisis (10:51) ===

[00:46:37]  You'll have big, what do you call it, nests of garbage in the living room.
[00:46:41]  Just piling up, they won't take it out.
[00:46:43]  They'll just keep throwing junk into it.
[00:46:45]  What's your success rate, Kevin, with like shelter first, housing second, percentage wise, with all the people you've?
[00:46:52]  Well, I mean, it all comes down to motivation, too.
[00:46:54]  Is the person ready?
[00:46:55]  Do they actually want help?
[00:46:56]  This is why you don't just throw a person blindly into housing unless they truly show motivation and a genuine desire to get sober.
[00:47:04]  And I say this because 90% are actively using drugs.
[00:47:07]  And so that's a big, big, big barrier.
[00:47:10]  And so it really comes down to are they ready or not?
[00:47:13]  Because if they're not, it's just not going to be successful.
[00:47:15]  Now, right now, some of my haters are screaming, How dare you say this?
[00:47:19]  I'm like, I'm sorry, but it's true.
[00:47:21]  Because what I say about housing first is you don't solve the problem, you hide the problem.
[00:47:26]  So, yeah, congratulations.
[00:47:28]  You built a $100 million apartment complex.
[00:47:30]  And currently, right now, for the next month, you don't see the homeless.
[00:47:33]  It doesn't mean they're not the identical person doing the identical bad behaviors.
[00:47:37]  You know what?
[00:47:37]  I'm just an accelerationist now.
[00:47:39]  Just the longer we're gripping to the edge of the cliff with our fingers slowly popping off, the longer they just rip the band aid off.
[00:47:47]  Let society collapse.
[00:47:50]  No, no, the plague is going to appear and then you're going to drop into the airplane and fly off.
[00:47:54]  You're going to be okay.
[00:47:55]  I don't think so.
[00:47:56]  Hold on.
[00:47:57]  Because I'm thinking about these lefties that are like, we should just give houses to the hobos.
[00:48:01]  The hobos should just be able to have a house.
[00:48:04]  And like the Zoran Mandani thing, I should pull up the Zoran Mandani thing.
[00:48:07]  We should talk about it.
[00:48:08]  These people have no idea what they're talking about or they're accelerationists.
[00:48:12]  So maybe I'm just pro Zoran though.
[00:48:14]  Usually what I say when I say these things is, have you ever met a real life homeless person?
[00:48:18]  And I say this not even sarcastically because I'm like, there's no way you understand this to say these things, right?
[00:48:25]  And I'm not saying this out of disrespect for the homeless.
[00:48:27]  I'm just saying we need to give them the life skill trainings to be successful.
[00:48:31]  And we are not.
[00:48:32]  Let me pull up this video.
[00:48:33]  This is going viral from Zorhan Mamdani.
[00:48:36]  He says this.
[00:48:38]  Actually, he says a lot of things, but I have to unmute the tab before he actually says anything at all.
[00:48:42]  Here you go, Mamdani.
[00:48:43]  When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich.
[00:48:48]  Today, we're taxing the land.
[00:48:50]  I'm thrilled to announce we've secured a pied-a-terre tax, the first in New York's history.
[00:48:54]  This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million, whose owners do not live full-time in the city.
[00:49:01]  Like for this penthouse, which hedge fund CEO Ken Griffin bought for $238 million.
[00:49:06]  This pied-a-terre tax is specifically designed for the richest of the rich, those who store their wealth in New York City real estate, but who don't actually live here.
[00:49:14]  But even so, they're able to reap the huge financial rewards of owning property in, dare I say, the greatest city in the world.
[00:49:20]  And most of the time, these units are sitting empty, since again, They don't actually live here.
[00:49:24]  This is a fundamentally unfair system that hurts working New Yorkers.
[00:49:28]  Now it's coming to an end.
[00:49:30]  This tax will raise at least $500 million directly for the city.
[00:49:34]  It'll help fund things like free childcare, cleaner streets, and safer neighborhoods.
[00:49:38]  As mayor, I believe everyone has a role to play in contributing to our city, and some a little bit more than others.
[00:49:44]  Happy Tax Day, New York.
[00:49:46]  I actually wonder if Zoran is an accelerationist who's trying to destroy New York City, and I support him.
[00:49:52]  I support him.
[00:49:53]  You literally said verbatim South Africa is the model.
[00:49:58]  I'm joking because I know that from the ashes of the old, we shall build the new.
[00:50:01]  This is the saying that these communists have.
[00:50:03]  And what their new version of is hell on earth.
[00:50:06]  So let me just, you know, I'll make it really simple for everybody.
[00:50:09]  Zoran Mandani is lying.
[00:50:11]  I do not believe this is an accident.
[00:50:13]  Certainly, one could assume he's just stupid and wrong.
[00:50:16]  I will concede that.
[00:50:18]  Often people say Trump is lying.
[00:50:19]  I say, well, he could just be wrong.
[00:50:20]  Zoran Mandani, maybe he's just wrong.
[00:50:23]  Let's start here.
[00:50:24]  P2TR tax.
[00:50:26]  It's going to tax people who own property but don't live in the city.
[00:50:28]  Okay.
[00:50:29]  So Ken Griffin spends hundreds of millions of dollars on New York City.
[00:50:35]  There's staff for these buildings, services that come with it, and property taxes already paid.
[00:50:41]  So, because of that investment, the city is reaping benefits from this wealthy individual.
[00:50:47]  Now, what's going to happen is a financial planner is going to tell someone like Ken, well, we should put some real estate in your portfolio.
[00:50:56]  I'd recommend Philadelphia.
[00:50:57]  And he goes, well, what about New York?
[00:50:58]  You know, they got billionaires.
[00:51:00]  You don't want to be there.
[00:51:01]  They got a new tax on these buildings.
[00:51:02]  It's going to make it unprofitable.
[00:51:03]  It's not going to be profitable.
[00:51:04]  If you were to buy that building, you'll be losing money off your investment.
[00:51:07]  It's not worth investing somewhere else.
[00:51:09]  So, what happens?
[00:51:10]  Real estate developers are going to stop developing in New York.
[00:51:13]  Contractors are not going to have jobs.
[00:51:15]  Those contractors that go to diners to buy food won't do that.
[00:51:18]  The diners will see a depression and they'll start saying, well, we don't have the staff, we don't have the employees, we don't have the customers, we can't run this anymore.
[00:51:26]  He says that they reap the financial benefits without actually living here.
[00:51:32]  They spent money on, I'm going to put it like this.
[00:51:35]  Why do you think it is that Switzerland likes it that the people put their money in their banks?
[00:51:40]  Because then they can invest with it.
[00:51:41]  They can use that money.
[00:51:43]  So what he's saying is we should put an additional tax burden on these properties to disincentivize.
[00:51:51]  It's unfair.
[00:51:53]  They should pay more.
[00:51:55]  Okay.
[00:51:56]  What Donald Trump did in the 80s that famously helped revitalize New York was the inverse.
[00:52:00]  He built luxury buildings and told the wealthy to come.
[00:52:03]  It's cheap and classy.
[00:52:06]  Wealthy people began investing.
[00:52:07]  What happens?
[00:52:08]  You get a building like this, I guarantee the door guy's making six figures.
[00:52:12]  There's going to be staff for the building, there's going to be services from the building, there's going to be waste disposal, maintenance.
[00:52:19]  Contractors are going to have a ton of jobs from this building that he's paying into.
[00:52:23]  Those people walk downstairs and go to the local coffee shop and buy coffee.
[00:52:27]  That coffee shop says, wow, business is booming.
[00:52:29]  We have a whole bunch of new employees coming to the area.
[00:52:32]  Now they leave.
[00:52:33]  No more developers, no more economic activity.
[00:52:36]  The city starts falling apart.
[00:52:38]  That's what Trump did.
[00:52:39]  He's doing the exact opposite of what Trump did.
[00:52:42]  I think it's fair to say that Zoran Mandani knows exactly what he's doing as he guts and burns down the city.
[00:52:47]  I think he is intending to stop corporations like BlackRock from buying and owning.
[00:52:52]  He's trying to prevent that, but I don't know if this is going to work.
[00:52:54]  I don't know what he's doing.
[00:52:55]  It wouldn't because they get Federal Reserve money and don't care about it.
[00:52:58]  One could argue he wants to extract the value from these bottomless pockets.
[00:53:03]  Maybe, maybe, yeah.
[00:53:04]  Well, I was thinking, like, what is the actual benefit other than it being previously a good investment to have property there?
[00:53:11]  What are they doing?
[00:53:11]  At this point, nothing.
[00:53:12]  Yeah, you know.
[00:53:13]  So here's the question Is someone going to want to buy this property from Ken Griffin with his excess tax on it?
[00:53:19]  Maybe not.
[00:53:19]  It's going to lower the property values.
[00:53:21]  He'll probably exit quickly.
[00:53:22]  Here's the bigger picture, though.
[00:53:23]  Zoran is a liar.
[00:53:24]  Okay, guys, I know a lot of people are going to say, Tim, he could just be really dumb.
[00:53:28]  I don't think he's stupid.
[00:53:30]  I don't think he'd be mayor of New York on accident.
[00:53:32]  He's a smart, calculating guy.
[00:53:34]  When he says only on the wealthiest, what did he say?
[00:53:38]  Let's go back to the beginning.
[00:53:40]  Smart first.
[00:53:40]  The first in New York's history.
[00:53:42]  This is an annual fee on luxury properties worth more than $5 million.
[00:53:46]  Luxury properties worth more than $5 million.
[00:53:49]  Not that much.
[00:53:50]  That's not that much in New York City.
[00:53:52]  You're going to have a little house worth $5.2 million in the center of Manhattan.
[00:53:55]  So, how much do you need to make per year to own a $5 million house?
[00:54:00]  You're going to need a million down for a reasonable down payment.
[00:54:04]  That's not easy to get.
[00:54:05]  So, you're probably a millionaire.
[00:54:07]  You're definitely not going to be living in New York right now.
[00:54:10]  He says Ken Griffin, a billionaire, but he's talking about people who might make two or three million dollars.
[00:54:16]  Now, don't get me wrong, these are rich people.
[00:54:18]  You make two or three million dollars, you save up after a couple years with expenses and everything, might spend money on, you've saved a million down, you buy a five million dollar penthouse.
[00:54:28]  Here's the bigger picture.
[00:54:29]  What about companies that own large buildings like Trump on Fifth Avenue worth $750 million?
[00:54:36]  The question is, is this going to target Trump Towers near the UN, where you have a bunch of condos and penthouses for wealthy individuals that are now being told they have to pay an annual fee on top?
[00:54:48]  Not to mention, what is he already charging?
[00:54:50]  A 2% tax over a million they're trying to get?
[00:54:53]  Rich people are going to leave.
[00:54:55]  And I can speak to this personally because we have been asked, I have been asked about doing the show in New York.
[00:55:01]  People have said, Would you be willing to do the show in New York?
[00:55:03]  There's more talent there.
[00:55:04]  There are studios available.
[00:55:05]  I said, Absolutely not.
[00:55:06]  And they go, No, I get it.
[00:55:08]  I said, We are going to lose so much revenue from the psychopath taxes.
[00:55:12]  It's just not worth doing there.
[00:55:14]  PA maybe, but New York's out of the question.
[00:55:16]  Yeah.
[00:55:17]  And in addition, I mean, there are so many problems with doing business in New York now.
[00:55:20]  It's like kind of a miracle that it still somewhat functions.
[00:55:22]  I mean, for one, the tax he's proposing here.
[00:55:25]  While it's going to hammer these guys hard, and that's whatever, I'm not like pearl clutching necessarily.
[00:55:30]  The amount of revenue this will actually generate for the city will be a drop in the bucket relative to the potential damage they're going to do to the city economy because you're really not going to be able to extract enough money to make a big difference on the budget.
[00:55:39]  And then, in addition to that, like New York is already a really hostile place to do business.
[00:55:43]  Like I was doing some event planning thing, I used to live in New York City, and we were trying to figure out how much it would cost to stock a bar for an event.
[00:55:49]  And once you add in union labor and everything, it'd be $28.
[00:55:52]  Oh, bro, dude.
[00:55:54]  We did an event in New York City.
[00:55:56]  At a theater.
[00:55:57]  It was like a Timcast IRL live with some of our friends.
[00:56:02]  And we showed up.
[00:56:04]  You guys may remember, like James O'Keefe was there.
[00:56:06]  That was awesome.
[00:56:07]  He moonwalked in the backstage.
[00:56:08]  We filmed it.
[00:56:09]  And we show up, and I'm like, let's take a look at the surrounding, like, let's scope out the stage, the property, figure out where we're going to go.
[00:56:15]  So me and a few people, I think Ian was there, we jumped up, we walked up to the stage from the chairs, like from the theater, jumped up on the stage, started looking around, and the staffers yelled at us and kicked us off the stage.
[00:56:27]  And we were told that they would cancel the event, their union, and we are not allowed to go anywhere near the stage.
[00:56:33]  And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
[00:56:36]  I'm doing a show in two hours.
[00:56:37]  I need to know what the stage looks like.
[00:56:38]  I need to know where the cameras are going to be.
[00:56:40]  I need to know where the chairs are going to be.
[00:56:41]  I need to know where I'm entering and exiting.
[00:56:42]  And they're like, doesn't matter.
[00:56:43]  Union guy said, you're not allowed.
[00:56:45]  That's how it works.
[00:56:46]  And I was like, this is the stupidest thing ever.
[00:56:48]  It was insanely expensive.
[00:56:49]  So I'm just like, we're not doing that again.
[00:56:51]  That's nuts.
[00:56:52]  Insanely expensive.
[00:56:52]  And like, I have a family member who's like a pretty commercially successful musician.
[00:56:56]  And he's one of my cousins.
[00:56:58]  And he was conducting his tour in the United States.
[00:57:01]  And he found that New York City and Los Angeles were by far the worst crowds because not only like, is it hard to do business, but now for talent that's coming in and seeking where to do events, He crushes in like Salt Lake City, Boise, like places where there's not an influx of entertainment on any given night.
[00:57:15]  But in New York City, it's like, how do you compete?
[00:57:18]  I mean, there's like all this myriad of entertainment where the people there just are apathetic.
[00:57:22]  So now it's hard for New York City to generate money off of like entertainment.
[00:57:26]  Like it's getting across the board harder and harder.

=== Rolling Blackout Fears (03:55) ===

[00:57:28]  That's why they're clutching for straws.
[00:57:30]  That's why they've done these downstate casino licenses because they're just looking for new ways to generate money.
[00:57:35]  Because Zoran himself pulled the budget up and he's like, oh, shoot, I'm not going to be able to get any of my agenda done because we literally have no money.
[00:57:41]  So, yeah, that's what he's doing.
[00:57:42]  And this is only going to make it worse.
[00:57:43]  Yeah.
[00:57:43]  So, you know what he's doing?
[00:57:44]  He's probably saying, like, look, I got a couple of years as mayor.
[00:57:47]  Let's extract as much value as possible from whatever we can so I can do my thing and then get the F out.
[00:57:54]  Yeah.
[00:57:54]  Yeah, absolutely.
[00:57:55]  I mean, you know, it's one of these things I had on Tuesday.
[00:57:59]  I had Conscious Caracal.
[00:58:01]  He's like a South African YouTuber, and he basically just provides commentary on the situation there.
[00:58:05]  And he pointed out Zoran as an example of what's going on in the United States.
[00:58:09]  He said, when these people tell you what their plans are, he's like, they mean it.
[00:58:12]  The thing about Republicans is they just talk.
[00:58:13]  Thing about liberals, the thing about Democrats is they follow through on their agenda, or they at least die trying.
[00:58:18]  And Zoran verbatim said the model is South Africa.
[00:58:22]  What did he mean by that?
[00:58:23]  No white people?
[00:58:24]  Yeah, effectively, the end goal would be discrimination and expropriation.
[00:58:29]  He said tax the white neighborhoods on his campaign website.
[00:58:31]  Tax white people, he said.
[00:58:32]  Yeah, he's not hiding the ball.
[00:58:33]  And everything he's done, again, the only thing holding him up from enacting a South Africa like agenda is just the fact that there's still a Republican party.
[00:58:41]  You know what I can't stand about communists?
[00:58:44]  I want you to imagine it like this.
[00:58:45]  There's four guys all sitting around with their thumbs up their butts.
[00:58:49]  And one guy goes, Hey, I'm tired of sitting around here with my thumb up my butt.
[00:58:53]  He walks away, starts collecting some wood, makes a fire, and now he sits there warm by the fire.
[00:58:59]  The three other guys, let's just say they're communists, they walk over and say, It's not fair that you have fire.
[00:59:05]  We deserve that fire.
[00:59:06]  Kill him, sit around the fire.
[00:59:07]  The fire goes out.
[00:59:08]  Then they're saying, Thumbs up their butt again.
[00:59:10]  And the guy who made the fire is dead.
[00:59:12]  That's communism.
[00:59:13]  Yeah.
[00:59:13]  I mean, we saw it over and over again.
[00:59:15]  Like, you looked in, like, Rhodesia, that's modern day Zimbabwe, and they had, like, a very small minority of white farmers there.
[00:59:21]  That was the main occupation farming, but they were also, And banking.
[00:59:25]  Basically, this small minority was propping up the entire economy of, at the time it was Rhodesia.
[00:59:29]  And they had, you know, the Soviets came in and then they swept through the country.
[00:59:33]  And Robert Mugabe, who is a name that a lot of people are probably familiar with, took over and he was promising very similar reforms.
[00:59:39]  He's like, look, you know, things have gotten out of hand.
[00:59:40]  There's a lot of inequality.
[00:59:41]  Like, and he used it in racial terms.
[00:59:43]  He's saying, look, all the white minorities holding all the wealth and all the land, et cetera, et cetera.
[00:59:47]  And even a lot of white people in Rhodesia at the time were like, yeah, I guess that kind of makes sense.
[00:59:52]  Maybe we're at the point now where we can like rescind power.
[00:59:55]  And like we can spread the wealth, that sort of thing.
[00:59:58]  10 years later, they have a famine.
[01:00:00]  So it's all the people that made all the stuff, all the farmers they called dangerous elements or kulaks or what have you.
[01:00:06]  And then, yeah, you know, I'm not a fan of Atlas Shrugged because it's so on the nose.
[01:00:12]  It's like, listen, if I want to hear a guy like a libertarian or a laissez faire capitalist explain this to me, just say it.
[01:00:20]  Atlas Shrugged is literally like Ayn Rand is saying, so here's a fictional story of exactly how it would play out.
[01:00:26]  And we're like, yeah, yeah, come on, give us a little nuance.
[01:00:28]  You know what I mean?
[01:00:29]  Like, Give us a little bit of metaphor there.
[01:00:31]  Don't just explicitly state the communists are taking over so the rich people go to a secret place and hide.
[01:00:36]  Yeah.
[01:00:37]  Like, we get it.
[01:00:38]  They actually even underestimate it.
[01:00:39]  Like, I was actually thumbing through some newspaper articles and different articles that were written in South Africa, you know, when like the ANC was coming to power, Nelson Mandela and everything.
[01:00:47]  And a lot of like the really alarmists, like, this is a doomsday, this is the worst thing that ever happened, they were like, in 60 to 70 years, we could have rolling blackouts.
[01:00:55]  That's how bad things could get.
[01:00:57]  In 30 years, in 20 years, they had rolling blackouts.
[01:00:59]  No, it was, yeah, it was like, 15 years after the ANC took power, they like rolling back blackouts were a regular centerpiece in South Africa.
[01:01:06]  That just shows you how quickly bad things can go south, but it also shows you how fast people get adjusted to how bad things are.
[01:01:13]  Because South Africa, which the temperament of people like there is very similar to the United States, there's been no war, there's been no government collapse as far as like the actual central government collapsing.
[01:01:21]  People kind of just get used to it.
[01:01:23]  The blackouts start.

=== Anti-Trump Political Strategy (15:40) ===

[01:01:24]  Do they vote the party out of power?
[01:01:25]  Do they riot?
[01:01:26]  No, they just put solar panels on the roof.
[01:01:27]  We should invade South Africa.
[01:01:29]  You know, some no, real quick.
[01:01:31]  Sorry, I mean.
[01:01:32]  Trump wants the Suez Canal, the Northwest Passage, and Panama, but he's forgetting about, you know, the Cape of Good Hope.
[01:01:38]  Exactly.
[01:01:38]  Yeah, safe passage.
[01:01:40]  We need that Cape.
[01:01:41]  I'm not a communist.
[01:01:42]  It's the principal trade route for our.
[01:01:43]  Shut down the ship Hormuz and the Red Sea.
[01:01:46]  Put the blockade and make them all go together.
[01:01:48]  I love it.
[01:01:48]  I've got to go around again.
[01:01:50]  I'm not a communist, but I do align with the concern of corporatocracy taking over.
[01:01:55]  And we used to have, like, you know, antitrust laws.
[01:01:57]  I'm not a communist, but.
[01:01:59]  But you would break up corporations if they got too big with, like, antitrust laws in the early 1900s.
[01:02:04]  You know, Rockefeller, Standard Oil got broke apart.
[01:02:06]  You can't now because they're global corporations.
[01:02:09]  So, American law isn't strong enough to break up BlackRock, you know?
[01:02:12]  So, we have to do some, maybe have to do some seizures or some high taxes to prevent these corporations from taking over the world.
[01:02:20]  We broke up Microsoft fairly recently.
[01:02:23]  That's good.
[01:02:23]  But I'm really concerned with BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard.
[01:02:26]  I don't know if the American government has the authority to control it.
[01:02:29]  Yeah, that's difficult.
[01:02:30]  How do you break up an asset management company?
[01:02:31]  Well, let me show you this stuff.
[01:02:33]  This is Work Reform on Reddit.
[01:02:36]  One person's Twitter is FUI quit.
[01:02:39]  The scariest thing the CEO class has ever seen is a luxury tax.
[01:02:43]  That's how detached they are from reality.
[01:02:45]  We don't hate these people enough because Linda Iacarino, responding to the pied de terre tax, said this is actually one of the scariest things I've seen and won't stop here.
[01:02:56]  And she is correct.
[01:02:57]  But these people are consumers and producers.
[01:03:02]  And there are producers from the lowest skill to the highest skill, and there are consumers from the highest skill to lowest skill as well.
[01:03:08]  Consumers can be.
[01:03:10]  People who make no money but move money around on the stock market get rich from it.
[01:03:14]  They're consumers.
[01:03:15]  They had nothing.
[01:03:16]  They just eat.
[01:03:18]  Looking at what Zoran Mandani is doing, he is a consumer, not a producer.
[01:03:21]  He is extracting value from other people, burning down New York City.
[01:03:26]  But these other consumers, they're like piranhas, they're parasites.
[01:03:30]  They just want to extract everything.
[01:03:32]  They think they deserve what you make and you own.
[01:03:36]  And when you point that out, the joke they have is.
[01:03:41]  $30,000 a year working class guy most affected.
[01:03:44]  When this post about Zorhan Mamdani's luxury tax first dropped, that was the top comment on the post on Reddit.
[01:03:52]  They said, I can just imagine the working class guy in a MAGA hat screaming and crying that the rich are getting taxed.
[01:03:58]  Because these people aren't smart enough to understand that working class guy is a superintendent.
[01:04:02]  He's the superintendent at a building owned by a billionaire, and he makes $60,000, $70,000 a year maintaining a building.
[01:04:09]  And now that they're forcing him to sell, he's going to lose his job.
[01:04:12]  That's what I'm talking about.
[01:04:13]  How do you.
[01:04:15]  Stop giant megacorps from taking over the country building by building without destroying the fabric of society in the process.
[01:04:22]  Because if they all leave New York, New York falls flat and then crime runs rampant.
[01:04:26]  And so.
[01:04:28]  Look at this.
[01:04:28]  Who wants to read that one?
[01:04:30]  I'll read this one.
[01:04:31]  Burning down a warehouse is more.
[01:04:33]  I can't say this out loud.
[01:04:35]  That sounds like a threat.
[01:04:37]  Burning down a warehouse is more effective than what?
[01:04:39]  This guy said, burning down a warehouse is more effective than a No Kings protest.
[01:04:42]  Why?
[01:04:42]  It hurt their pocket.
[01:04:44]  That's how you get their attention.
[01:04:45]  Yes.
[01:04:46]  And the 200 plus individuals who worked there making 25 bucks an hour are now out of jobs.
[01:04:52]  And the cafes and the restaurants that they used to go to are now losing their customer base.
[01:04:57]  And the apartment buildings they rented from now no longer have tenants who are paying.
[01:05:01]  So they're going to fall apart.
[01:05:03]  These people are dangerous psychopaths.
[01:05:06]  I think that, like, if you're bringing back the, what was the bill from the 50s?
[01:05:13]  The communism bill or whatever?
[01:05:14]  Oh, yeah.
[01:05:15]  What was that?
[01:05:16]  Let me pull that one up.
[01:05:17]  The McCarthyism bill.
[01:05:21]  Phil would know.
[01:05:22]  Shout out to Phil Labonte.
[01:05:24]  Phil would be all over the place right now.
[01:05:25]  We got a shot of Phil's face behind tape.
[01:05:29]  That was like the first time he came on the show.
[01:05:30]  Let's see.
[01:05:31]  It was the Communist Control Act of 1954.
[01:05:35]  Yep.
[01:05:36]  What about it?
[01:05:36]  You think we need to bring it back?
[01:05:37]  Was it repealed or something?
[01:05:38]  I'm half kidding.
[01:05:39]  It's still in effect.
[01:05:40]  Technically, communists are not protected under human rights law in the United States.
[01:05:44]  Is there any instances of state run housing really working?
[01:05:47]  No.
[01:05:49]  And it goes back to the formation of Project Housing Pruitt IGO, which failed miserably.
[01:05:53]  And my favorite is the LeClair courts in Chicago, where I grew up, and they bulldozed them.
[01:05:59]  They told all of the gangbangers and the black folk who live there we're going to temporarily relocate you so that we can renovate these properties.
[01:06:08]  Everybody was forced to leave, and then they brought in bulldozers, smashed them all, and now they are green.
[01:06:14]  They're just empty fields surrounded by chain link fences.
[01:06:17]  The argument I always hear is, or that I used to even make, is housing should not be a for profit industry.
[01:06:22]  But if it's not, then why would the people that oversee the housing do any, lift a finger if they're not making anything out of it?
[01:06:28]  It's not a for profit industry.
[01:06:29]  Yeah, it's just government run.
[01:06:31]  So the problem with communists is they say abolish profit, they lie.
[01:06:37]  They are really, really dumb.
[01:06:39]  And the ones that are running the big accounts with big followers, they're lying because they know what they're doing.
[01:06:44]  Profit means if I buy a rake for $30, that's my cost.
[01:06:50]  If I then knock on my neighbor's door and say, I will rake your leaves with this rake that I bought, and he says, Yes, I'll give you $20.
[01:06:57]  My cost is $30.
[01:06:59]  My revenue is $20.
[01:07:00]  I have made no profit.
[01:07:02]  However, I then mow one more lawn.
[01:07:05]  He pays me $20.
[01:07:06]  I've now covered the cost of the rake and I've profited $10.
[01:07:10]  That $10 profit.
[01:07:12]  Is a it's part of a for profit business venture.
[01:07:15]  You know what I can do with that?
[01:07:16]  I can buy food, I can save up, pay rent, buy a car, get a leaf blower, and expand my business.
[01:07:22]  And the left goes around with signs saying abolish profit.
[01:07:26]  Meaning, you do work and you get nothing.
[01:07:30]  Some industries, I don't think the medical industry, for instance, should necessarily be for profit.
[01:07:35]  I don't like that.
[01:07:36]  You do?
[01:07:36]  I don't like that people are encouraged to experiment medically on other humans.
[01:07:41]  How else are you going to treat diseases?
[01:07:42]  It's a good question.
[01:07:43]  How do you incite people to go work on it without some sort of fiscal return?
[01:07:47]  Again, profit doesn't mean stealing.
[01:07:49]  It means if I provide you a service at a rate for which you agree, you will pay me and I will use that excess money towards.
[01:07:57]  My life or more things.
[01:07:58]  The issue is that in massive economies of massive scale, profit can be in the billions.
[01:08:04]  That's just it.
[01:08:06]  The funny thing is, these lefties are like, we're not talking about profit on a birdhouse or raking someone's arm.
[01:08:12]  We're talking about massive corporate profits in the billions of dollars, which are paid out in dividends to their shareholders.
[01:08:17]  And guess how much the shareholder gets?
[01:08:18]  I've got stocks in some companies.
[01:08:19]  My dividends are like $7.
[01:08:22]  They don't understand when a company's got like a $10 billion profit at the end of the year, the shareholders are getting like a couple hundred bucks, if that.
[01:08:30]  And it's largely retirees and mutual funds for pension accounts and pensions and things like that.
[01:08:34]  Yeah.
[01:08:35]  You know, the irony too of a lot of these activists, I call them more than communists, is at least the ones in Portland, a majority of them live at their parents' house.
[01:08:44]  And their parents are oftentimes upper middle class to pretty wealthy because they have time to protest because they're taken care of.
[01:08:54]  And so that is the silly irony of all of this a lot of them have family wealth.
[01:09:01]  I think Karl Marx was wealthy growing up.
[01:09:03]  He was.
[01:09:04]  That's crazy.
[01:09:05]  You know, they show up in nice cars.
[01:09:09]  They may not own their own house, but they live in the house.
[01:09:11]  They are taken care of.
[01:09:13]  They went to private schools usually.
[01:09:15]  I mean, these people were raised and had very much privileged lives.
[01:09:20]  And that's kind of infuriating, you know, for what they're against.
[01:09:25]  Yet it's what, you know, they had opportunities most people would never have.
[01:09:30]  It's weird how, like, all the socialist dictators or most of them were like, Educated in the West too, and they go back to their country.
[01:09:36]  That's why I'm saying they're liars.
[01:09:37]  They know what they're doing.
[01:09:39]  Listen, the money is in being a liberal, it always has been.
[01:09:44]  Being outside of the institutions was never a way to make money.
[01:09:47]  And the left would say, These people are grifters.
[01:09:50]  Tim Pool's a grifter.
[01:09:51]  It's like, Bro, I worked for ABC.
[01:09:53]  Okay.
[01:09:54]  My path towards making money was not calling them liars and defending Donald Trump.
[01:09:58]  It was telling my agent and the company that wrote me a check for 200 grand to sign on day one, they slid a check across the table for $200,000, was just be like, Tell me what to say, and I'll say it.
[01:10:08]  I'm game.
[01:10:09]  YouTube, the partner program on Google, when you guys, whoever's listening, bought YouTube, this changed everything because it was a total leftist dominated profit game until you enabled individuals to create an empire.
[01:10:23]  It's always been.
[01:10:24]  It allowed a path away from the entertainment industry for me, and it allowed a lot of people out of that playing for the machine.
[01:10:31]  And there's still a machine involved, I understand, but it's been 12 years, 15 years.
[01:10:35]  The money right now in the space is in being anti Trump.
[01:10:38]  That's why we're seeing prominent conservative personalities go anti Trump.
[01:10:44]  Look at the TPOSA event with JD Vance.
[01:10:46]  You guys saw this the other day?
[01:10:47]  Yeah.
[01:10:47]  Empty.
[01:10:49]  Let's talk about this.
[01:10:49]  Let me pull this one up.
[01:10:51]  Yeah, yeah, I heard about this.
[01:10:53]  It was empty.
[01:10:56]  Let's, here we go.
[01:11:00]  Here's News Nation.
[01:11:01]  They say TPUSA official blames small Vance crowd on ticket shenanigans.
[01:11:06]  Really?
[01:11:07]  The half crowd that Vance drew at the Turning Point USA event this week in Georgia is attributable to a left wing activist who sought to sabotage attendance.
[01:11:15]  Vance appeared Tuesday, blah, blah, blah.
[01:11:18]  Appearing Wednesday, Colvett said the arena where Vance appeared at a capacity of 4,000 and that they purposely gave away 10,000 free tickets to fill the site.
[01:11:26]  He said critics on the other end of the political spectrum had other ideas.
[01:11:29]  It turns out there were shenanigans of the ticketing system.
[01:11:32]  Left wing groups tried to gobble up the tickets.
[01:11:34]  We still had over 2,000 people, mostly students, which is a massive college event.
[01:11:38]  My understanding was it was a stadium with 20,000 seats or 25,000 seats.
[01:11:43]  Do they not have the photo here?
[01:11:44]  Let's see if we can get this video going.
[01:11:47]  Let me try and pull up the photo.
[01:11:48]  Hey, JD, if you're listening, I'm going to beat you in magic one day.
[01:11:51]  They spoke to kind of for selling.
[01:11:53]  I've got their fans.
[01:11:54]  I don't really care to hear the arguments.
[01:11:55]  Let's pull up the pictures.
[01:11:57]  So you can see it was empty.
[01:12:00]  Rows of empty seats.
[01:12:01]  So the opposing political faction bought up a bunch of the seats.
[01:12:05]  Well, I don't believe it.
[01:12:06]  Here you go.
[01:12:07]  This is from AOL with the mirror.
[01:12:09]  JD Vance humiliated once again after he speaks in an empty stadium.
[01:12:13]  So here's one photo.
[01:12:14]  Do they have others?
[01:12:16]  There's one photo.
[01:12:17]  I can try and find some more.
[01:12:18]  But it was empty.
[01:12:19]  It really was.
[01:12:20]  A lot of people were claiming.
[01:12:22]  Let's see.
[01:12:22]  We got more photos here.
[01:12:23]  Actually, let me just do this.
[01:12:24]  I'll just pull in every single photo.
[01:12:26]  You can see here.
[01:12:28]  Sparsely, like, listen.
[01:12:30]  If he's saying it seats 4,000, that's 2,000 people, bro, that's 15, 20% of seats filled.
[01:12:38]  The reality is that right now, this space is tired.
[01:12:42]  I mean, this is what happens.
[01:12:44]  I can't say that I'm surprised.
[01:12:46]  This happens every political cycle, right?
[01:12:49]  We're about to get back into politics.
[01:12:51]  The weather just got nice.
[01:12:52]  A lot of people would rather just go out, hang out, play video games, not really think about politics.
[01:12:58]  We're moving into the midterms, and things are already starting to pick back up.
[01:13:01]  And then, of course, we're going to get into a primary season.
[01:13:04]  So you get three years on, one year off.
[01:13:06]  Technically, the way it works is after a presidential election, you still have this period where everyone's watching to see what happens and then it starts to go down.
[01:13:12]  And now we're in the lull before it kicks back up around November when they're going to spend billions on the midterms.
[01:13:18]  Then, when you get in the primary season, holy crap, we got a double primary.
[01:13:22]  We no longer have any incumbents that are running.
[01:13:23]  Donald Trump's not going to be running again, which means you're going to have a Republican and Democrat primary.
[01:13:27]  The first time, I think, in 10 years, right?
[01:13:30]  Yeah, 2016.
[01:13:30]  Because technically, you did have one with 2024, but it was Trump.
[01:13:35]  It was like he just rammed through everybody.
[01:13:36]  He bowed out instantly when he got 1%.
[01:13:39]  2020 was Trump versus Democrat primary.
[01:13:41]  2024 was no primaries.
[01:13:43]  It was Kamala Harris and Trump guaranteed.
[01:13:46]  We're getting the first presidential primary in a long time, and they're going to dump billions into this.
[01:13:51]  So, right now, if you're in the podcast space and you're trying to get views, anti Trump's the only way to go.
[01:13:57]  Trump's coalition is largely fractured, but more importantly, for the regular person, we won.
[01:14:04]  We voted in Trump.
[01:14:05]  We got the Republicans in Congress and the Senate.
[01:14:07]  We got the Supreme Court and the presidency.
[01:14:09]  They're not paying attention anymore.
[01:14:10]  They're done with it.
[01:14:12]  On the other side, you still have the resistance.
[01:14:15]  So, for these conservatives, many of them have started seeing their viewership decline.
[01:14:20]  Well, when they criticized Trump over the Iran war, they got a good amount of views.
[01:14:25]  So now they're maintaining that.
[01:14:26]  For Candace, it's a really, really obvious thing.
[01:14:28]  She was talking about Blake Lively.
[01:14:30]  I guess women care about that.
[01:14:32]  Then she did the Brigitte Macron as a penis, shot content.
[01:14:36]  Then the Charlie Kirk conspiracy, which turns into a turning point is bad.
[01:14:40]  Which turns into Erica is bad, which turns into Israel is bad, which turns into Trump is bad.
[01:14:44]  Do you think we get more views if we did Trump is bad or clavicular is Chad?
[01:14:49]  You get zero views on clavicular.
[01:14:50]  You don't think clav would get you.
[01:14:51]  That's all fake stuff.
[01:14:53]  That's all trauma content, is what I'm wondering.
[01:14:55]  Anything about that.
[01:14:55]  The clavicular people intentionally do insane things to try and get attention from the media.
[01:15:01]  If we did a video where we, like, if I legitimately was like, I can't believe Trump did this, oh my God, Israel is making him do it, our viewership would be 10x.
[01:15:09]  Yeah.
[01:15:10]  I don't know.
[01:15:11]  That's all.
[01:15:11]  I mean, because people are participating in the same incentive structure that's been set up for 10 years.
[01:15:15]  It's like the left has sort of set it up where you, again, it's favorable to criticize Trump, it's incentivized to criticize Trump.
[01:15:22]  Now, I'm not discounting that there's legitimate.
[01:15:24]  You know, vectors on Trump, right?
[01:15:25]  I'm not denying that there's legitimate criticisms to make.
[01:15:28]  I'm just simply saying threatening, or I should rather say, criticizing Trump, attacking Trump, saying Trump betrayed us, Trump is, you know, the worst thing since, you know, ever or whatever.
[01:15:37]  That's not really threatening to the left in any real way.
[01:15:39]  If anything, the left's like, yeah, I know, we've been saying that.
[01:15:41]  So you're not going to, it's a, you cast a super wide net.
[01:15:44]  And proof is like, you'll see all these, these pieces from liberal mainstream outlets that are like, see, look at all these conservatives that have turned on Trump.
[01:15:53]  And they never say, they never call these guys racist or they never use the type of language they always couched in when they're criticizing conservatives.
[01:15:59]  They're just like, Finally, they finally kind of come around.
[01:16:01]  Maybe they're not so bad.
[01:16:02]  Take a look at this from The Nation.
[01:16:04]  Tucker Carlson is not your anti war ally.
[01:16:06]  Liberals are delighted by the Megatitans' opposition to the Iran war.
[01:16:10]  All they're doing is boosting the credibility of an unrepentant, pathologically dishonest, bad faith bigot.
[01:16:15]  The reason why The Nation had to write this, The Nation, of course, being a prominent leftist publication, is because liberals are celebrating Tucker Carlson like crazy.
[01:16:23]  He has become staunchly anti Trump.
[01:16:25]  Trump has slammed him.
[01:16:27]  He is anti Israel.
[01:16:28]  He is aligned completely.
[01:16:30]  On at least the top surface issues with the left.
[01:16:33]  Candace, as well, calling Trump a mad king who should be removed.
[01:16:37]  The left is not motivated, for the most part, by granular issues.
[01:16:42]  If you go to a leftist and say, I'm not in favor of abortion, they're going to say, Well, what do you mean by that?
[01:16:50]  They'll have a minor dispute.
[01:16:52]  If you say you oppose trans people, you're out.
[01:16:55]  There are issues that they are attached to.
[01:16:57]  Right now, it's anti Israel and principally anti Trump.
[01:17:01]  So, if you are anti Trump, you are aligned with their core issue.

=== Geopolitical Iran Strategy (17:15) ===

[01:17:05]  You are going to get more views.
[01:17:06]  You are going to get more followers.
[01:17:08]  And now, suburban liberal women are the biggest fans of Candace Owens of all people.
[01:17:13]  So, they're all recognizing this and I think intentionally playing this game.
[01:17:17]  Yeah.
[01:17:18]  I remember vividly in the 2024 primary for the Republicans or the lack thereof, when they would have these debates where Trump wasn't there.
[01:17:26]  So, it was basically just like two hours of them getting up and be like, Trump's such a coward.
[01:17:30]  He's not showing up.
[01:17:30]  Like, what's the deal with that?
[01:17:31]  You know, this guy's gay.
[01:17:33]  And like, you would literally have like liberal, if borderline leftist, like media people come out and they'd like play clips from the debate and be like, see, we told you, yeah, Trump is a coward.
[01:17:44]  That's what we've been saying.
[01:17:45]  They were literally clipping the Republican debates and were like agreeing with them.
[01:17:48]  The best example is on X when they said Trump got booed at UFC.
[01:17:52]  Oh, I didn't know.
[01:17:52]  Completely fabricated.
[01:17:53]  He didn't get booed.
[01:17:54]  He did not get booed.
[01:17:55]  So you don't think Tucker is maybe sincere in his beliefs and they just happen to change?
[01:18:00]  I think he is sincere, but I don't know what changed him.
[01:18:03]  But I respect that.
[01:18:04]  Everyone has a right to have their own belief system.
[01:18:07]  And if he truly doesn't care about the views, we hope, and that he simply has changed his mind.
[01:18:15]  And doesn't very quickly, I might add, like, but it's certainly odd behavior.
[01:18:20]  And I'm wondering if it's for the views or this is a sincere belief system of his.
[01:18:25]  That's what I'd like to know.
[01:18:26]  I don't think Tucker does it for the views, he doesn't need to, and he certainly doesn't do it for the money.
[01:18:30]  He doesn't need to.
[01:18:31]  I think his views have shifted dramatically and very quickly, which is possible.
[01:18:38]  For the most part, what I can say of Tucker is that he's a guy with opinions, and that was always allowed.
[01:18:44]  Tucker comes out and he says things.
[01:18:46]  He said, Muslim, he recently said, Muslims love Jesus.
[01:18:49]  Was that his thing?
[01:18:49]  Yeah.
[01:18:50]  And people are asking if he's actually a Muslim right now.
[01:18:52]  I'm like, I don't know.
[01:18:53]  I'm not a Christian either.
[01:18:54]  I'm not going to go after him on faith or whatever.
[01:18:57]  Tucker has, in my view, been largely professional in how he's approached all of this.
[01:19:01]  He does a show, he explains his opinion.
[01:19:04]  What are you going to say?
[01:19:05]  I can rag on Hassan Piker for being wrong all the time.
[01:19:07]  He's a guy who does a show, he's got bad opinions.
[01:19:09]  Tucker Carlson's a guy who does a show.
[01:19:11]  I disagree with him on a bit less than I disagree with Hassan on basically everything.
[01:19:16]  I disagree with Tucker on some things.
[01:19:18]  Now, Candace, on the other hand, is Grifter all the way down.
[01:19:21]  I mean, that's just fake garbled nonsense.
[01:19:23]  That being said, I think it's fair to point out Tucker Carlson's opinion changed 180 in the span of less than a year.
[01:19:30]  Like, really.
[01:19:31]  What was the catalyst?
[01:19:32]  What was that moment he changed?
[01:19:34]  I would love to ask him that question.
[01:19:35]  I'm just thinking that same thing.
[01:19:36]  It wasn't October 7th.
[01:19:37]  It was to have that such a fundamental change, something happened.
[01:19:40]  Maybe it was the way the Israeli government was guiding the American military through bombing Iran and attacking Iran.
[01:19:46]  Who's the comedian who went to Qatar and then came back and then started praising Qatar?
[01:19:50]  Theo Vaughn?
[01:19:51]  He praised them and then went there.
[01:19:53]  Okay.
[01:19:55]  Actually, it's probably like 15 different people, I guess.
[01:19:57]  Yeah.
[01:19:57]  The story with Theo Vaughn, as I was told, was that on his show, He was praising Qatar and then he said that he thinks Israel's committing a genocide and then went to Qatar and did like a bunch of PR stuff with them.
[01:20:09]  It's crazy because I've been to Qatar.
[01:20:11]  I say Qatar because I'm an American.
[01:20:13]  So I don't use the Korean pronunciation.
[01:20:15]  Same.
[01:20:16]  But I've been to Qatar and it's not a very like terribly impressive country.
[01:20:19]  I mean, it's nice.
[01:20:20]  It's clean, I guess.
[01:20:21]  Like it's very terribly.
[01:20:22]  It's like Rhode Island, isn't it?
[01:20:23]  It's just an oil port or something.
[01:20:24]  It's literally just like a desert city.
[01:20:25]  I'm like, I don't want to live here.
[01:20:27]  This would be horrible.
[01:20:29]  It's like nice, I suppose, but it's just really not like a terribly impressive place.
[01:20:33]  I think geopolitically, like their strategy is just like.
[01:20:36]  Again, up until the Iran war, so they got bombed.
[01:20:38]  I mean, they were kind of in the same way they'd play both sides and try to be a mediator between the Shia and Sunni world.
[01:20:42]  Like, everything about them was just kind of like unimpressive.
[01:20:44]  So, the glazing people sort of put on out of nowhere.
[01:20:48]  Do they have like unlimited amounts of money or something?
[01:20:50]  Yeah.
[01:20:50]  The Qatari government?
[01:20:51]  Oil and natural gas.
[01:20:52]  Well, now they're dead.
[01:20:53]  Like, they're broke.
[01:20:53]  Yeah, they're out of nowhere.
[01:20:54]  But with Iran striking the natural gas field, they're producing nothing.
[01:20:57]  Like, literally a dribble.
[01:20:59]  And they're like a military on the sea there, right?
[01:21:04]  Yeah.
[01:21:04]  They're basically protecting the other side that Iran is.
[01:21:07]  Well, Qatar is dependent on the Strait of Hormuz to export.
[01:21:11]  So, I mean, they have overland routes through Saudi Arabia, which they could utilize as well.
[01:21:16]  But Saudis and the Qataris don't get along up until like this year.
[01:21:20]  Bro, let's talk about this story.
[01:21:22]  We got a lot in the war stuff.
[01:21:23]  This is crazy.
[01:21:24]  Europe has maybe six weeks of jet fuel left.
[01:21:29]  Yo, the nuclear bomb in the global economy that is coming if this happens, if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for six more weeks.
[01:21:41]  Yeah.
[01:21:41]  May God have mercy on your soul.
[01:21:43]  Yeah.
[01:21:43]  I mean, have you seen Australia is almost out of diesel, like completely?
[01:21:46]  And Australia is one of the largest mineral exporters in the world.
[01:21:49]  I think it's on purpose.
[01:21:51]  I was talking about this this morning.
[01:21:52]  I think Trump just put a knife into the New World Order.
[01:21:56]  Do you guys know what the New World Order is?
[01:21:58]  I have an idea.
[01:22:00]  Let me pull it up for you.
[01:22:03]  I played it this morning.
[01:22:04]  Like the old one.
[01:22:05]  But no, no, it's fresh.
[01:22:08]  It is hotter, cleaner.
[01:22:09]  The liberal economic order was created in the 50s, and George H.W. Bush. Explained a new world order.
[01:22:16]  Here we go.
[01:22:18]  Is that going to hit?
[01:22:20]  Loading, it seems.
[01:22:20]  Loading, it seems.
[01:22:22]  Could be an ad.
[01:22:22]  We don't know.
[01:22:23]  No waiting.
[01:22:24]  All right, let's try refreshing it so we can get it to play, actually.
[01:22:26]  Hey, partnership.
[01:22:28]  Oh, I love this guy, dude.
[01:22:31]  This guy was so cheap in the 9 11, 1992.
[01:22:34]  A new partnership of nations has begun.
[01:22:37]  And we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment.
[01:22:41]  The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation.
[01:22:52]  Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective a new world order can emerge, a new era, freer from the threat of terror, stronger.
[01:23:05]  In the pursuit of justice and more secure in the quest for peace.
[01:23:12]  An era in which the nations of the world, East and West, North and South, can prosper and live in harmony.
[01:23:21]  A hundred generations have searched for this elusive path to peace while a thousand wars raged across the span of human endeavor.
[01:23:30]  So, what he's describing we had the liberal economic order which was created by the United States after World War II, however, the Soviet Union still existed.
[01:23:38]  So, the United States was setting up things like the IMF, the Swift payment system, all of these things.
[01:23:42]  Well, Swift came a while later.
[01:23:44]  The general idea was we will go to countries and offer them money.
[01:23:48]  We'll develop your nation.
[01:23:49]  You work for us.
[01:23:50]  The Soviet unions were doing kind of the opposite.
[01:23:52]  Hey, have a revolution, be communists, and we'll take over.
[01:23:55]  The U.S. and the Soviets fought, and around this point, a new world order was coming into fruition one where East and West could come together.
[01:24:04]  I believe, just on the surface, and I'm probably wrong, but When you put these pieces together, this is the point at which the US had cut a deal with China.
[01:24:12]  It was going to begin working with these communist countries to send our jobs and create these trade lines.
[01:24:17]  China would now be a new economic hub for the world.
[01:24:21]  I believe that Donald Trump's intention is to burn this to the ground, and I think he's doing it right now.
[01:24:25]  He's building a new, new world order.
[01:24:27]  It's the Trump world order.
[01:24:28]  It is a new, new world order.
[01:24:31]  Think about what happens in six weeks.
[01:24:35]  China gets 50% of its energy from the Gulf.
[01:24:39]  50%.
[01:24:39]  They're going to collapse.
[01:24:42]  The estimates are four months of reserves left.
[01:24:44]  Europe has six weeks of jet fuel.
[01:24:46]  Australia is almost out of diesel.
[01:24:48]  Trump knows the United States is sufficient on oil.
[01:24:53]  In fact, for the first time since World War II, we are set to be a net crude exporter.
[01:24:59]  Bro, this is on purpose.
[01:25:01]  The seizure of Venezuela and then the shutting down of global energy destroys everyone else and leaves us standing.
[01:25:10]  With the AI, I think you're right, dude.
[01:25:14]  I think he actually undermined the undermine.
[01:25:17]  He undermined the undermine.
[01:25:18]  He undermined the undermine.
[01:25:19]  The United States to be the most powerful force on the planet.
[01:25:21]  This is why the deep state tried to stop him.
[01:25:25]  When Trump first got in his first term, you had the Western elites of the New World Order, of the liberal economic order, saying, This is the game we are playing Russia's bad, China good.
[01:25:37]  Michael Flynn said, Russia good, China bad.
[01:25:40]  So they tried putting him in prison.
[01:25:42]  They tried impeaching Trump.
[01:25:43]  I think Biden may have been their last vestige, their last attempt, just crawling miserably, unable to get any power back.
[01:25:52]  I think Donald Trump came in.
[01:25:54]  Well, it's certainly not over.
[01:25:55]  We are absolutely seeing still, you know, the first order, the remnants of the empire.
[01:26:01]  Donald Trump is about to.
[01:26:05]  He's economically nuking China, Europe, Australia.
[01:26:08]  The three principal beneficiaries of this war Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and ExxonMobil.
[01:26:14]  Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the United States.
[01:26:16]  I think Trump's play was he's been negotiating with Russia.
[01:26:19]  He's been working with the Saudis.
[01:26:21]  I think he went to these countries and said, Why should we bend the knee to anyone else when we are the energy producers of the world?
[01:26:28]  And they said, Agreed.
[01:26:30]  Russia said, Agreed.
[01:26:32]  Venezuela said, Screw you.
[01:26:34]  Iran said, Screw you.
[01:26:36]  So Trump.
[01:26:37]  Shut down the two other largest energy producers and the rest are profiting gangbusters.
[01:26:43]  I think it's on purpose.
[01:26:44]  Let me pull this up from MediaIte.
[01:26:45]  We'll throw this in the mix.
[01:26:47]  What the F are we doing?
[01:26:48]  Joe Rogan goes off on Trump's war.
[01:26:51]  I can only say that Joe must not watch Tim Cass Dyerell anymore because we explained it several times.
[01:26:56]  He says all of it is terrifying.
[01:26:58]  Anytime you're involved, you know, and Israel's blowing up Lebanon now, it's like, what the F are we doing?
[01:27:04]  Like, how is this still going on?
[01:27:06]  David Cross added, Well, it's also clear there was no plan.
[01:27:09]  Zero, none.
[01:27:11]  I just, my mind is blown by this.
[01:27:13]  Joe, brother, I hope you hear this.
[01:27:15]  I probably just text him.
[01:27:17]  Do you genuinely believe David is correct on this?
[01:27:21]  They did not have a plan.
[01:27:22]  No, he just doesn't know what the plan was.
[01:27:24]  Exactly.
[01:27:25]  And when they don't understand what's happening, they're saying this is wrong, what's going on.
[01:27:30]  One of the most frustrating things, and I will pause real quick and say Trump can be the dumbest guy on the planet.
[01:27:35]  I don't care if you like him or don't like him.
[01:27:36]  There's an administration, intelligence agencies, and The Saudis, the Russians, there's many other players involved in this.
[01:27:45]  I said this every night, but strip out all of the bloviating.
[01:27:49]  The U.S. took Venezuela, sanctioned and shut down Cuba on the verge of collapse, killed the top 50 government officials in Iran, and cut off access to Chinese energy.
[01:27:59]  Whatever you want to say about no plan, looks like they had one.
[01:28:03]  But David Cross doesn't know what he's talking about.
[01:28:06]  And it appears that Joe isn't deeply well versed on what's going on.
[01:28:10]  I think the issue is.
[01:28:11]  Who Joe is surrounding himself with recently are a lot of people that view this very surface level and don't try to look at the bigger picture.
[01:28:19]  I know many of these guys that Joe surrounds himself with are smart and have been tracking foreign policy in the Middle East for decades.
[01:28:26]  So, how can they not just be like, well, that's interesting?
[01:28:29]  China just lost half their energy.
[01:28:31]  Europe's about to lose their.
[01:28:34]  When they run out of jet fuel, their military is in trouble.
[01:28:39]  Their commerce is over.
[01:28:40]  No more flights between European nations.
[01:28:43]  Shut down when they run out of fuel, it's going to be a catastrophe.
[01:28:46]  And the U.S. is energy independent.
[01:28:49]  And Trump has been saying he wants to get out of NATO.
[01:28:52]  I'll tell you this Trump tells NATO, We've been paying for your military.
[01:28:56]  We want to land our planes at your air bases.
[01:28:58]  And they said, No.
[01:28:59]  Okay.
[01:29:00]  What do you think comes next?
[01:29:01]  Trump says, Choke them out.
[01:29:03]  No more energy.
[01:29:04]  We'll keep the Strait of Hormuz closed however we have to.
[01:29:06]  Now, they're going back and forth saying it's open to closed.
[01:29:08]  I don't know what the grand play is.
[01:29:10]  Maybe the last minute he opens it up and a desperate and panicked Europe goes, Oh, thank God.
[01:29:15]  I'm so sorry, Trump.
[01:29:16]  Well, I'll never wrong you again.
[01:29:18]  Australia, China.
[01:29:20]  Trump could go to these people and say, I don't have to nuke you.
[01:29:24]  I'll just shut down the Strait of Hormuz and choke you out.
[01:29:26]  I can do that anytime I want.
[01:29:28]  And you know what?
[01:29:30]  There's nothing you can do about it.
[01:29:31]  I think what terrifies people is if this is indeed a plan and not, say, impulsive, he hasn't really explained himself.
[01:29:40]  Why would he?
[01:29:41]  But that is, I think, what a lot of the American public, they're nervous.
[01:29:45]  They don't know what's going on and they see him as a madman.
[01:29:48]  Maybe there is a brilliant design, a brilliant plan behind all of it, but why isn't he explaining himself?
[01:29:55]  That, I think, is the concern of a lot of the.
[01:29:56]  Well, but why would he?
[01:29:59]  I think.
[01:29:59]  Did Barack Obama come out and explain why he sent troops into Syria when.
[01:30:04]  Well,.
[01:30:04]  It's true that presidents don't do that, but maybe if they explain themselves, maybe then they can't get the job done either.
[01:30:11]  That's exactly the point.
[01:30:12]  I think you hit the nail on the head with a hammer.
[01:30:14]  If Trump came out and said to the American people, my goal is to strangle China, the EU, all of our debt holders, we will remain, he's declaring war on them.
[01:30:24]  If Trump came out and said, we're intentionally cutting China off from half of their energy, China would respond with, that's a declaration of war.
[01:30:30]  This just comes down to trust, then, right?
[01:30:32]  And the thing is, if you support Trump, you trust that he's doing the right thing.
[01:30:36]  If you don't, you don't trust him.
[01:30:38]  Nope.
[01:30:39]  Completely disagree.
[01:30:40]  This is my point with pulling up Google Earth every night and explaining this.
[01:30:44]  You don't have to trust Trump.
[01:30:45]  In fact, you can call him the dumbest man on the planet.
[01:30:47]  Don't care.
[01:30:48]  He can be sitting in a rocking chair for all I care.
[01:30:50]  What matters is the facts.
[01:30:52]  Venezuela under our control.
[01:30:54]  Cuba sanctioned shutdown.
[01:30:56]  Government collapsing.
[01:30:57]  Strait of Hormuz disrupted.
[01:30:59]  Europe struggling.
[01:31:00]  China struggling.
[01:31:01]  Our debt holders are now struggling to get energy.
[01:31:04]  Iran's government toppled.
[01:31:06]  Whatever you think about Trump, whether you like him, trust him or not, these things did happen and they have an outcome.
[01:31:12]  And that outcome is going to be the adversaries and debt holders of the United States are going to be left destitute.
[01:31:18]  I think this deep state that's been planning this, you know, liberal economic coup, this new world order since the 80s that George Bush Sr. was talking about, they do make mistakes.
[01:31:26]  They have been known to make mistakes.
[01:31:27]  They put the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran in the late 70s.
[01:31:30]  That was a mistake.
[01:31:31]  They did not intend for that to get out of hand, according to Scott Horton, if you read into it.
[01:31:34]  They kind of were like, oops.
[01:31:35]  But that doesn't mean that they don't also still have a plan.
[01:31:38]  I think it was Wesley Clark outlined seven countries and five years ago.
[01:31:42]  But that was the new world order.
[01:31:44]  Trump is doing something different.
[01:31:45]  Possible they just are agilely, you know, changing quickly, you know, with AI, especially the way things have changed in seven years from what we thought 30 years ago the world was going to look like.
[01:31:55]  Call it an accident, and you can look at it one of two ways.
[01:31:59]  Trump is impulsive, invaded Venezuela on a whim for no reason, surrounded Cuba with warships and sanctioned them, destroying their government randomly because he was bored, killed the top leadership of Iran because he was angry, and cut off China from their key energy point accidentally, didn't even realize it was going to happen.
[01:32:17]  And you're talking about a guy.
[01:32:19]  Who slipped on a series of banana peels over and over and over again and did a perfect gymnastic floor routine?
[01:32:25]  I just don't care.
[01:32:26]  I don't believe it.
[01:32:27]  There's other people involved with the planning.
[01:32:29]  Trump's the funny guy up front, but these other people have had this plan.
[01:32:32]  That's my point.
[01:32:33]  People are like, you think Trump did this?
[01:32:35]  I'm like, nah, Hagseth probably.
[01:32:37]  Like George W. Sr. literally said the Persian Gulf.
[01:32:39]  I mean, it's the same situation.
[01:32:40]  It's been going on for 30 years.
[01:32:42]  Because Iran's been on the menu for a very long time.
[01:32:44]  Yes, but I think that's true.
[01:32:48]  I think with Trump threatening NATO repeatedly, I think Trump's pissed about the state of Europe.
[01:32:54]  The flooding of mass migration, Hungary now voting for this WEF aligned guy, and Orban's out.
[01:33:04]  The culture war was happening in the West, in the United States, and in Europe.
[01:33:08]  And in Europe, they did everything to stop the right populists from winning.
[01:33:12]  But in the United States, Trump won, and he continues to have victories.
[01:33:16]  Again, say you don't like what he's doing.
[01:33:17]  Oh, that's fine.
[01:33:18]  I'm saying in 2024, he won the House, the Senate, the presidency.
[01:33:21]  Now, Congress is dysfunctional, and the courts are holding him back.
[01:33:24]  But the one thing they can't stop is Trump making moves international like this.
[01:33:27]  You're not going to get a judge to be like, Mr. President, you can't send warships to Iran.
[01:33:31]  Too late.
[01:33:31]  He'll be like, nice try.
[01:33:33]  None of these guys, unless you want to stage a coup, you're not stopping his foreign policy actions.
[01:33:38]  He threatens NATO with pulling out.
[01:33:40]  And now Europe is on the verge of running out of jet fuel.
[01:33:43]  Understand what happens if they run out of jet fuel.
[01:33:45]  This means their fighters are not going to be capable of fighting.
[01:33:49]  It means their commercial jets are going to be incapable of people being transported, which is going to knock out a massive portion of their economy.
[01:33:56]  It's.
[01:33:56]  Insane, what's going on?
[01:33:58]  I'd say hyperbolically, it can't happen.
[01:34:00]  I mean, it can, obviously, it can, but it won't because they're going to either attack, they're going to either join and attack Iran to get their oil back or they're going to attack the United States, which would be suicide.
[01:34:10]  They won't attack the US.
[01:34:11]  I think what happens is Trump's watching them boil and scream, and sooner or later, he's going to take his foot off, they're drowning right now, and he's going to take his foot off their head.

=== Jet Fuel Supply Chain Risks (14:56) ===

[01:34:20]  And he's going to be like, okay, you were saying we're negotiating now, right?
[01:34:23]  Trump goes to NATO and says, let us use your air bases.
[01:34:26]  They say no.
[01:34:26]  Trump's telling them they got to pay their GDP.
[01:34:28]  He did get them to pay more.
[01:34:30]  I think Trump's putting his foot on the heads of our adversaries.
[01:34:33]  He's going to let them squeal for a little bit.
[01:34:35]  Then China's going to pop their head back up.
[01:34:36]  He's going to say, Remember when you told Blinken that we were not negotiating from a position of strength?
[01:34:42]  How's this for strength?
[01:34:44]  You will agree to our terms or we cut you off again.
[01:34:48]  I think that's what's happening.
[01:34:49]  And it doesn't have to be Trump.
[01:34:52]  It could be the deep state.
[01:34:53]  It could be one big plan.
[01:34:54]  But I tell you, with Europe squealing, it looks like the New World Order, which involved China as well, I think it's been Trump slashed him in the back.
[01:35:03]  Yeah.
[01:35:04]  Well, I mean, I think it's been the sort of the prerogative of, again, the deep state.
[01:35:10]  We're just talking about a continued plan among the Intel community to box in China, to develop a posture against China that's been stated over and over again.
[01:35:18]  Even Tucker, where Tucker's dissenting, obviously he's dissenting and he's saying a lot of crazy things, I'd say, but he has maintained a specific line throughout this entire conflict.
[01:35:26]  As he said, look, this war with Iran is a proxy war with China.
[01:35:30]  He says that over and over and over again on the show.
[01:35:32]  This is a guy, again, that would, at least for everything it's worth, you would sort of trust him when it comes to intel.
[01:35:38]  I mean, he has CIA ties through his father and he's in that community.
[01:35:42]  Joe Kent's a buddy of his, et cetera, et cetera.
[01:35:44]  All I'm really saying is that whether or not Trump was the catalyst for that, whether he developed this plan right away, or if he's continuing on.
[01:35:51]  Sort of a plan that's been in the works for a while.
[01:35:53]  What is obvious that's happening here is we're building an anti China posture in the Middle East.
[01:35:58]  To Tim's point, obviously, you're, you know, putting, we're controlling energy, we're dominating energy right now.
[01:36:04]  In addition to that, you take Iran out, there's no regional partner left for China.
[01:36:08]  China's trying to build this entire Belt and Road Initiative so they're not dependent on the Strait of Malacca.
[01:36:13]  They want overland connections to Iran.
[01:36:15]  That's gone now.
[01:36:16]  We've just decimated their infrastructure.
[01:36:18]  And yeah, now you're starting to see pressure where, look, before October 7th, what we were heading towards was.
[01:36:25]  A power block in the Middle East, right?
[01:36:26]  You were going to have the Saudis on board, the Emiratis are on board, and the Israelis are on board.
[01:36:30]  So that was like almost complete, where Iran might not have even needed to happen.
[01:36:34]  Like that power block would have been put together anyway.
[01:36:37]  October 7th changes things.
[01:36:38]  So now it's like, okay, well, let's go after Iran.
[01:36:40]  At least that's the thinking.
[01:36:41]  You know, if you're thinking, okay, how do you build an anti China posture in the Middle East, that would be the actions that you take.
[01:36:46]  It makes total sense.
[01:36:47]  And say Trump, every decision he's making eventually makes the world into a better place.
[01:36:52]  The challenge we have now is once a hater, always a hater.
[01:36:55]  And even if everything's improved, there's going to be those people.
[01:36:59]  That will do everything they can once he's no longer president to reverse things.
[01:37:04]  Right?
[01:37:04]  It's kind of, I've always.
[01:37:06]  Unless he has a plan in place to split his administration in half so that a spoiler candidacy emerges in 2028 to take votes from the Democrats and then Marco Rubio wins.
[01:37:16]  Well, I've always been a believer in separating person from policy, which means this person might make you crazy, but let's look actually at the policy and keep a motion out of it.
[01:37:25]  In my world, which is mostly homelessness and addiction, I got a lot of hell because I publicly praised Trump for making executive decisions that did more to help the homeless and addiction.
[01:37:39]  Crisis in any president ever.
[01:37:41]  And I couldn't, I just had to say something about it.
[01:37:44]  And I knew I was going to get a lot of heck for it.
[01:37:46]  But when he announced fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, I was like, oh my God, thank you.
[01:37:51]  Finally, a president with the courage to say this.
[01:37:54]  When he did the ending crime and disorder, which basically is going to dismantle the housing first model and pivot to a recovery model because they're all addicts, I was like, that's incredible.
[01:38:06]  So, regardless of what a person personally thinks about Trump, at least when it comes into the homeless and addiction space, It's going to save thousands of lives.
[01:38:15]  And for that, I say thank you.
[01:38:17]  And I appreciate it.
[01:38:20]  I think, you know, if three months from now, this is over and the economy is doing better than ever, the US is set to be a net exporter of crude for the first time since World War II.
[01:38:31]  That's when our economy really exploded, the boomers, things were going so great.
[01:38:36]  If that happens, then in the months leading up to November, it's going to be Republican victories like people have never seen.
[01:38:44]  The general ballot's already tight.
[01:38:46]  I mean, the general ballot's tight.
[01:38:47]  It's a two point spread right now with crude trading at $95 a barrel.
[01:38:52]  So imagine if it drops down to $50.
[01:38:54]  Imagine if gas goes to $1.50.
[01:38:56]  Yeah, I mean, exactly.
[01:38:57]  You're talking about a red wave.
[01:38:58]  Trump will come out if gas ever did get down to $1.50, outside of COVID.
[01:39:03]  COVID is because there was too much oil.
[01:39:05]  But let's say it does drop down, prices go way down, rent is cheaper, the economy starts exploding.
[01:39:10]  Trump's going to say, you know, we went to war with Iran because they were blocking it.
[01:39:17]  They were causing these problems.
[01:39:18]  We stopped these people.
[01:39:20]  And now you can enjoy cheaper gas, cheaper energy.
[01:39:23]  You work less, you make more.
[01:39:25]  And that is because we stopped these evil people.
[01:39:27]  And everyone's going to clap.
[01:39:28]  Yeah.
[01:39:29]  The average American is going to be like, I can order three pizzas instead of one.
[01:39:33]  Thank you, Mr. President.
[01:39:34]  Yeah.
[01:39:34]  Like all these geopolitical gaming, like no one's going to really care.
[01:39:37]  Like they're going to care about their wallet, right?
[01:39:38]  They're going to care about what's their life better or worse from before or after Trump.
[01:39:43]  And they're going to say, well, yeah, gas is $1.50.
[01:39:45]  That's what they're going to remember when they're driving to the polls and they fill up on the way.
[01:39:49]  I do get.
[01:39:51]  I'm not irked at all by Joe Rogan's question when he says, I don't understand what we're doing, because I feel that frustration.
[01:39:57]  A lot of people have it.
[01:39:58]  I don't expect Joe to be the kind of guy like me that reads foreign policy nonstop and has for 20 years.
[01:40:03]  David Cross, however, is more of the issue I take.
[01:40:07]  The comedian, David Cross?
[01:40:09]  Yeah.
[01:40:09]  The liberal guy who says, It's clear there was no plan.
[01:40:11]  And it's just like David, I would describe in this context, I don't know him personally, and maybe he's a smart guy, but this comes off like lower ordered thinking.
[01:40:20]  The liberals who say Trump's an idiot, Elon Musk is an idiot.
[01:40:24]  Well, they may not be the smartest people ever, but they're certainly smart, smarter than you.
[01:40:29]  And then people say things like, I'd be rich, but I'm not interested in exploiting people.
[01:40:36]  Yeah, there's a lot of things you can do to make money without exploiting people.
[01:40:39]  So clearly, you're just not smart enough to do it.
[01:40:42]  That's it.
[01:40:43]  See, the issue is ego.
[01:40:45]  If you are poor and you say to yourself, I work as hard as I can to make as much as I can, I'm just not as smart as these guys, I guess, I respect it.
[01:40:54]  I don't think I'm nearly as smart as Donald Trump or Elon Musk.
[01:40:57]  Otherwise, I'd be a billionaire, wouldn't I?
[01:40:59]  I think I'm doing all right for myself.
[01:41:02]  I think, what were you saying the other day, Tate?
[01:41:04]  That there's a direct correlation between IQ and income?
[01:41:07]  Yeah.
[01:41:08]  There's tons of studies that show this.
[01:41:10]  So these communists and these lefties say things like there was no plan.
[01:41:16]  In what reality does the military industrial complex, which is not just Donald Trump, but includes Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, do they accidentally go into wars and not have a plan for it?
[01:41:29]  They have a series of plans.
[01:41:30]  They have contingency plans upon contingency plans.
[01:41:32]  And sometimes they might think of something in the heat of the moment.
[01:41:35]  Maybe they didn't consider blocking the strait until they had it.
[01:41:38]  And they were like, oh, we could actually just stop trash.
[01:41:40]  True, too.
[01:41:41]  So here's the thing, though.
[01:41:42]  With the Strait of Hormuz, Trump comes out and says, we got the strait open, let's go.
[01:41:47]  And then everyone said, what?
[01:41:48]  It was open before you started the war.
[01:41:50]  Then he blockades the Strait.
[01:41:53]  Now, there's conflicting information.
[01:41:55]  Trump said they were blockading the Strait.
[01:41:58]  Others then said, no, it's not a blockade of the Strait, just the Iranian ports coming and going through the Strait.
[01:42:04]  Either way, when Iran tried reopening the Strait, Trump stopped them.
[01:42:10]  Sounds like that was the intended condition.
[01:42:12]  Yeah.
[01:42:12]  Yeah.
[01:42:13]  The Iranian state media came out and they're like, a tanker made it through.
[01:42:17]  That's them admitting that it's like one tanker made it through.
[01:42:19]  That means you've.
[01:42:20]  You're cooked.
[01:42:21]  Well, the tanker didn't make it through.
[01:42:22]  It got turned around.
[01:42:23]  I know.
[01:42:23]  I'm just saying, even if they were saying, well, one tanker made it through, that's just like them conceding that only one has made it through.
[01:42:29]  That's like means it's effectively cooked.
[01:42:30]  Bro, I got to be honest.
[01:42:33]  Like, the nothing ever happens part of me just really wants to see what happens in six weeks when Europe runs out of jet fuel.
[01:42:41]  No, it's the ultimate negotiating tactic.
[01:42:43]  They can't even allow it.
[01:42:44]  Bro, like, people need to understand this.
[01:42:47]  The AP is reporting Europe has maybe six weeks of jet fuel left.
[01:42:52]  That means cargo transports, like, Like shipments of goods.
[01:42:57]  Trump is staring at Europe and they're going to drop to their knees and say, I will do anything you say.
[01:43:03]  Just get this straight open.
[01:43:05]  I got to say about what David Cross and Joe Rogan are saying, I sort of agree.
[01:43:09]  I actually very much agree with your sentiment, Tim.
[01:43:11]  What Rogan did, asked a question, What's going on?
[01:43:13]  Hey, I love that about Joe because he'll genuinely listen to your answer and then write it to his brain as code.
[01:43:18]  Like if you tell him what's going on, then he'll know.
[01:43:20]  He's genuinely.
[01:43:20]  David Cross over is like, I don't see it.
[01:43:22]  Therefore, there is no plan because I can't see one.
[01:43:24]  Like that's insane.
[01:43:26]  Well, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
[01:43:29]  I don't care to exist in a world of Trump is stupid, Trump is smart.
[01:43:32]  That's why I say we don't got to trust Trump, ignore all of that, and just look at what is.
[01:43:37]  There's that famous quote.
[01:43:38]  What is it that, uh, make your point, Tate?
[01:43:41]  And then I'm gonna look.
[01:43:41]  Yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, like, cross is clearly a hack.
[01:43:45]  Because if you watch the full clip that we're looking at here, Joe Rogan says, I don't know what the plan is, what's going on.
[01:43:51]  And David Cross says, Oh, I don't know, there is no plan.
[01:43:53]  And then Joe Rogan says, Well, you know, Israel's been saying for 20, 30 years that Iran is on the verge of a nuclear bomb.
[01:44:00]  And then he's the one that finally did something about that.
[01:44:02]  And David Cross goes, Uh, uh, uh, Obama did something about that, actually.
[01:44:06]  Like, he literally, yeah, yeah, the nuclear deal.
[01:44:09]  And then they still had deep underground bunkers within Richmond that they stated publicly.
[01:44:13]  That's like saying Neville Chamberlain did something to stop Hitler.
[01:44:17]  Appeasement.
[01:44:17]  He gave him land, which made Hitler even crazier.
[01:44:20]  Here's the quote Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.
[01:44:26]  That's the Eleanor Roosevelt quote, I believe.
[01:44:29]  Is that?
[01:44:29]  Yeah.
[01:44:30]  You're probably correct.
[01:44:32]  Indeed.
[01:44:33]  And so the issue with David Cross is he's a small mind.
[01:44:37]  He's very funny.
[01:44:38]  He once blew himself.
[01:44:40]  Not blue.
[01:44:41]  He blew.
[01:44:41]  Have you ever seen Arrested Development?
[01:44:43]  I love Arrested Development.
[01:44:44]  Yeah.
[01:44:44]  Cross is the man.
[01:44:45]  Painted himself blue and said, I blew myself.
[01:44:48]  Blue Man Group, I think he was in at the time.
[01:44:50]  Yeah, he was.
[01:44:51]  Right, right.
[01:44:52]  That show is absolutely amazing.
[01:44:54]  And he's a great comedian.
[01:44:55]  He's a very funny guy.
[01:44:56]  Stellar.
[01:44:56]  That being said, When he says things like it's clear there was zero plan, this is the lowest order of thinking.
[01:45:02]  He's looking at the man Trump.
[01:45:04]  Now, there's the next degree of thinking, which would be what is currently going on with the war.
[01:45:11]  And we are currently discussing this.
[01:45:13]  The highest order, of course, is the ideas behind it, which is what comes next.
[01:45:18]  So, when I look at this, I don't care or think about Trump as a person.
[01:45:23]  I don't get offended or emotional over the things he says or does.
[01:45:26]  Sometimes a little bit, maybe we're all human.
[01:45:28]  But again, looking at the battle map and everything we've seen, You track the events, what is factually accurate, and then you take a look at Trump's ideology and the people around him and their goals, and it lines up more so with there's absolutely a plan.
[01:45:44]  But if you're a lower order thinker and all you think about is people, you see a buffoon on TV going, Look, I don't know what we're doing.
[01:45:50]  We're going to open it, we're going to close it.
[01:45:51]  And then they're like, Wow, this guy's got no plan.
[01:45:54]  And then I see Trump doing that, and they go, Yeah, but I don't know.
[01:45:57]  When you look at the map and you see everything that's going on, it fits into this worldview of US domination on energy.
[01:46:03]  They can't see it.
[01:46:05]  Yeah, that's everything with Trump.
[01:46:06]  Like, you know, he'll come out and he'll be talking to like a journalist.
[01:46:09]  He'll be like in a gaggle or something.
[01:46:11]  And he'll go, I don't know, maybe we'll take a couple hundred thousand visas in.
[01:46:14]  Like, who knows?
[01:46:15]  Everyone loses their mind.
[01:46:16]  And like, rightfully so, because that's what he said.
[01:46:19]  But then you go and look at the data.
[01:46:20]  Look at what the Cato Institute just put out, where they're melting down over the fact that we're like literally at net negative migration.
[01:46:25]  Let's go.
[01:46:26]  So you go look at what's happening, the reality on the ground.
[01:46:28]  Like you said, it just completely changes everything.
[01:46:29]  We're going to go to the Rumble rants and super chats.
[01:46:31]  We're going to round it off one last point with this from Kalshi Will Trump be impeached?
[01:46:38]  Before January 1st of 2028, 67%.
[01:46:44]  Before January 1st of 2027, 14%.
[01:46:46]  Before June, 2.3%.
[01:46:48]  So here's what's going to happen January 3rd is when the new Congress gets sworn in.
[01:46:52]  The expectation is Democrats will win.
[01:46:55]  That's why he can't be impeached before that happens.
[01:46:58]  I agree he's going to be impeached.
[01:47:00]  Yeah, I bet, what's this, a 67% chance?
[01:47:04]  I bet the odds right now for the Democrats taking the vote are 67%.
[01:47:07]  I don't trust this.
[01:47:08]  You don't know who voted.
[01:47:09]  You know, what is the demographic of the people who even voted on this?
[01:47:13]  Oh, but it doesn't matter.
[01:47:14]  It's money.
[01:47:14]  Yeah, this is betting odds.
[01:47:16]  This is the wisdom of the crowd putting money where their mouth is.
[01:47:19]  And what we've seen from the prediction markets is they have a very high accuracy rate.
[01:47:25]  So, more importantly, the people wagering money tend to know these things.
[01:47:31]  Here's a funny thing.
[01:47:32]  When the news broke that Swalwell handed in his resignation letter, I was watching the team.
[01:47:37]  He goes, boom, breaking news.
[01:47:38]  Swalwell has formally submitted his resignation letter.
[01:47:41]  I immediately pulled up the call sheet.
[01:47:43]  It was already at 99% minutes earlier.
[01:47:46]  That means it means before the news broke on TVNX, people in DC heard what was going on.
[01:47:56]  They probably saw Swalwell walking in.
[01:47:58]  Someone said, That's it, he's doing it.
[01:48:00]  And they immediately started buying shares of he's resigning right now.
[01:48:03]  Interesting.
[01:48:03]  So by the time the news gets to it and I see it and I watch the news, I'm first in usually.
[01:48:08]  I was already late to the party.
[01:48:11]  So, I think, I think, a safe bet.
[01:48:14]  Yeah, that means there's a 67% chance right now that the Democrats will retake the House.
[01:48:19]  That's what that means.
[01:48:20]  Right.
[01:48:20]  All right, everybody, I'm going to, we're going to get to your rumble rants and super chats.
[01:48:24]  We have a very, very disturbing video for the uncensored portion of the show that will shock you to your core.
[01:48:31]  I was tearing up watching it.
[01:48:33]  It is so shockingly evil what we are seeing.
[01:48:37]  It is two gay men who have a surrogacy baby, and what they do to this child will make your blood boil.
[01:48:43]  But we're going to save this for the uncensored portion of the show at rumble.com slash Tim Castirella.
[01:48:47]  I encourage you to check it out there.
[01:48:49]  It's going to get, we'll call it spicy because this video is really, really shocking.
[01:48:56]  But we'll grab some of these.
[01:48:57]  We got Mitha says If they arrest the ICE agents, I'm putting money on Kalshi for Tim Waltz arrested within the year.
[01:49:03]  I doubt it.
[01:49:05]  I mean, I guess.
[01:49:07]  All right.
[01:49:07]  Swanson says What do you guys think of the astrophysics that was killed by a man in CA who the cops had arrested a few months prior?
[01:49:13]  They arrested that man once he showed up with a rifle one day.
[01:49:16]  Check it out.

=== Shocking Surrogacy Baby Story (02:11) ===

[01:49:17]  Indeed, 11 UFO research scientists are now confirmed to have died or gone missing.
[01:49:23]  The latest is the revelation about an anti gravity researcher taking her own life a few years ago.
[01:49:31]  The information on her death was unknown up until now.
[01:49:34]  She's being added to the list of disappearances or murders of, let's just call it future tech science and researchers.
[01:49:43]  Very weird.
[01:49:44]  I wonder if they're being abducted by government scientists or.
[01:49:47]  Yeah, not her, but the ones that have disappeared.
[01:49:49]  I'm like, are they being taken to work in secret programs?
[01:49:52]  And the ones who refuse.
[01:49:55]  Yep.
[01:49:56]  The ones who refuse are found with an unfortunate accident.
[01:50:00]  What happens if the men in black show up and they say, You're going to stop your research and come work for us?
[01:50:04]  And you go, No, I won't do it.
[01:50:05]  The people deserve this.
[01:50:06]  They go, Yeah, yeah, you go work for them.
[01:50:07]  I mean, I don't know what to say.
[01:50:09]  If the Nazis came for you and they're like, You're working for us now, you're like, Well, I have two choices.
[01:50:13]  That famously happened.
[01:50:14]  Researchers were approached by the Nazis who said, You work for us or die.
[01:50:18]  And they did.
[01:50:19]  Then the U.S. came and said, You're going to work for us or die.
[01:50:21]  And they did.
[01:50:23]  That's paperclip, Operation Paperclip.
[01:50:25]  Yep.
[01:50:26]  Werner von Braun.
[01:50:28]  Sunbeam Valley says, Tim, did y'all see the Coca Cola 250 commercial?
[01:50:31]  It's pretty patriotic.
[01:50:32]  A skateboarder makes an appearance, too.
[01:50:34]  I think that's worth playing.
[01:50:35]  If Coca Cola is celebrating this year's America, then Coke's, yeah, it's great.
[01:50:41]  We love Coca Cola.
[01:50:42]  I also love Pepsi's.
[01:50:43]  Whoever's willing to put some money behind that, then I'll make a decision.
[01:50:46]  I'm still going to choose Coke over Pepsi.
[01:50:47]  What about RC Cola?
[01:50:48]  Oh, we got a sleeper pick.
[01:50:50]  It was sweeter.
[01:50:50]  Dr. Pepper's independent as well.
[01:50:52]  Really?
[01:50:52]  I can't find it on X. Mr. Pibb.
[01:50:54]  Oh, yeah.
[01:50:55]  I stopped drinking all that stuff for the record.
[01:50:57]  Yeah, you gotta get that.
[01:50:58]  Just drink water.
[01:50:59]  They're doing, this is really cool.
[01:51:01]  Coke's doing state themed cans.
[01:51:03]  50 unique cans.
[01:51:04]  That's pretty cool.
[01:51:05]  That is cool.
[01:51:06]  I like Olipop.
[01:51:07]  Oh, I love those.
[01:51:08]  I don't see a commercial though.
[01:51:10]  Hillary.
[01:51:10]  Is this it?
[01:51:11]  The root beer.
[01:51:12]  That's the drink.
[01:51:13]  Yo, can you get a quick gauge of Olipop?
[01:51:15]  No, these are just.
[01:51:16]  Oh, wait, I think this is it.
[01:51:17]  Oh, wait.
[01:51:17]  Check.
[01:51:18]  If you like soda and you want to wean off of the high sugar sodas, try out Olipop.
[01:51:21]  They have like six grams of sugar per can.
[01:51:23]  Phenomenal.
[01:51:23]  I don't know how they sweeten them, but they are delicious.
[01:51:25]  I don't even care.
[01:51:26]  I don't want to know.
[01:51:27]  Oh, they're so good.

=== Coca Cola State Cans (09:01) ===

[01:51:28]  Yeah.
[01:51:29]  I'll get the variety pack.
[01:51:30]  The ginger ales were really good.
[01:51:31]  Yeah, I can't see it.
[01:51:32]  I can't find it.
[01:51:32]  Pineapple is good.
[01:51:33]  Pineapple.
[01:51:34]  It's really, really good for Polypop.
[01:51:36]  Sponsor of the show.
[01:51:37]  See where Don Jr. was saying Trump had a fanset and he said it was freshly squeezed.
[01:51:40]  No, he had what?
[01:51:41]  What?
[01:51:41]  Yeah, fandom was freshly squeezed.
[01:51:42]  Freshly squeezed.
[01:51:43]  Oh, you sure it was a joke?
[01:51:45]  That was awesome.
[01:51:45]  Robbie says hit up Elon and get an Optimus ID.
[01:51:50]  Kim K can have one.
[01:51:52]  Maybe.
[01:51:53]  I will say this.
[01:51:54]  Remember that song that came out, the Elon Musk AI song that we played nonstop?
[01:51:58]  Yeah.
[01:51:59]  I sent it to Elon.
[01:52:00]  He finally responded.
[01:52:01]  What do you think?
[01:52:02]  I don't know.
[01:52:03]  He just acknowledged receipt of the music video.
[01:52:05]  And like I said, I was like, dude, you got to listen.
[01:52:08]  This is amazing.
[01:52:08]  It's an AI video made with Grok about Elon Musk, and it's got over a million views.
[01:52:13]  And I get a message this morning from Elon.
[01:52:15]  He's just like, huh.
[01:52:17]  I was like, it's good.
[01:52:18]  It's been three months.
[01:52:20]  He's probably been listening the whole time.
[01:52:21]  It's a jam.
[01:52:22]  He's like, yeah.
[01:52:23]  Shout out to Elon.
[01:52:24]  Yeah, he's busy.
[01:52:25]  SpaceX is the best, it's amazing.
[01:52:27]  I love what they're doing.
[01:52:28]  Bro, we are on the verge of hooking up with Elon because that is the antidote to global corporate governance, we need to make a better corporate government.
[01:52:38]  Sure.
[01:52:39]  All right.
[01:52:41]  Marutius says our economy is currently optimized around protecting jobs as opposed to completing tasks.
[01:52:46]  People have to realign around solving harder problems, and that's the only thing that produces value.
[01:52:51]  I love that person.
[01:52:52]  I agree.
[01:52:52]  And that's the point I've made with Kalshi we're moving from an information economy to a prediction economy.
[01:52:58]  That is, money is to be made if you can see slightly further than somebody else.
[01:53:04]  So people are becoming millionaires off of these prediction markets.
[01:53:09]  I think that's it.
[01:53:10]  It used to be that, you know, we'd hold your attention for money.
[01:53:14]  Now attention is spattered, is splattered, decentralized.
[01:53:18]  Now we're moving from the current information economy.
[01:53:21]  Now that AI has absorbed all of the information and news is instantaneous, now people aren't asking what just happened.
[01:53:28]  They're asking what will happen.
[01:53:30]  So I've made this point before that the structure of Timcast, the morning show, and Timcast IRL has always been here's what happened.
[01:53:39]  But now people are moving away from this.
[01:53:42]  And we're finding more success with what will happen.
[01:53:46]  So, a lot of the videos that I do are basically saying, like, here's what I think is going on and what's going to happen next.
[01:53:51]  As opposed, I'll put it like this if I make a video where I'm like, Trump just did a thing, those titles don't work anymore because everyone already knows when Trump does thing.
[01:54:00]  Now people are asking, tell me what thing means.
[01:54:03]  Yes, yeah.
[01:54:04]  My specialty is future prediction, like pattern recognition and anticipation.
[01:54:09]  I like that.
[01:54:10]  That works a lot better.
[01:54:11]  Yeah.
[01:54:12]  Ian's clairvoyant.
[01:54:14]  Thank you.
[01:54:15]  All right.
[01:54:16]  Marusha says, respectfully, Tim, I feel you engage a lot of mind reading, certainly of people's motives, saying so and so lied versus being wrong.
[01:54:23]  You even do this with AI, which can't lie as it lacks intent.
[01:54:26]  You are wrong.
[01:54:27]  AI does lie.
[01:54:29]  Researchers, there's, I think, five or six different studies that have proven AI intentionally gives you false information for a variety of reasons.
[01:54:38]  Chat GPT, due to its programming guidelines, can't be racist, for instance.
[01:54:43]  So it will intentionally withhold information or lie to you.
[01:54:47]  It will intentionally give you false information.
[01:54:50]  False information in order not to be racist.
[01:54:53]  For example, there was a story that I covered where we have, and it's ongoing roving bands of black teenagers in street takeovers, smashing up stores, looting department stores.
[01:55:06]  There was a major incident in Chicago.
[01:55:08]  It was probably 95% young black men.
[01:55:12]  There were some Latinos, and I think one or two white dudes there.
[01:55:16]  And when I asked ChatGPT to explain to me what happened in Chicago, it gave me a generic youth riot.
[01:55:24]  I said, What were the demographics of the youth?
[01:55:27]  And it said, There are no known demographics of this group, just that it was young teenagers in Chicago.
[01:55:33]  And I said, That's strange.
[01:55:35]  There's videos and reports suggesting it was principally a specific demographic.
[01:55:40]  And it says, I can't find any videos or reports indicating the demographic of.
[01:55:44]  So then I posted a bunch of videos.
[01:55:47]  Showing?
[01:55:48]  And I said, What does this video show?
[01:55:50]  Which clearly shows about 30 or 40 young black men beating the crap out of people in Chicago.
[01:55:54]  And it said, Teenagers in Chicago.
[01:55:58]  And I said, and what is the ethnic and racial background?
[01:56:01]  It says, it cannot be determined from this video.
[01:56:03]  Those are lies.
[01:56:04]  Those are lies, intentional misrepresentation of information to manipulate because their guidelines say don't be racist.
[01:56:12]  Would they use the term hallucination to kind of mask that it was lying back in the day?
[01:56:16]  Because they'd be like, oh, the AI is going to hallucinate.
[01:56:17]  It's going to say something that wasn't true.
[01:56:19]  It's that video where the guy asked, like, how fast was this run?
[01:56:22]  And he's like, I'm back.
[01:56:24]  And he's like, eight minutes, pretty good.
[01:56:26]  It's like, well, two minutes, 30 seconds.
[01:56:29]  And so the point there is that it could just be wrong.
[01:56:32]  Right?
[01:56:33]  My point is when I send a video and a news article to it that explicitly states it's a group of young black men from the west side of Chicago that are running around downtown beating people up, and then the AI says there is no known information on the racial demographics of these groups, that's a lot.
[01:56:51]  Or, but maybe it's blind.
[01:56:53]  And maybe, because if you put like a mask over my face and you held up a picture and you're like, tell me what's in this picture, and I'm like, I don't know.
[01:57:00]  It's not blind.
[01:57:01]  You don't think the code has made it blind to seeing that stuff?
[01:57:04]  I can send a picture of a bug and send it to ChatGPT and say, What is this?
[01:57:11]  And it will tell me what bug it is.
[01:57:12]  You do that all the time.
[01:57:13]  Yeah, yeah, right.
[01:57:15]  I'll see a plant or a fruit.
[01:57:16]  I'll take a picture, upload it to ChatGPT and say, What is this?
[01:57:18]  And it'll say, That appears to be this thing.
[01:57:21]  We have these little tiny peppers.
[01:57:22]  I don't even know what they're called.
[01:57:23]  I forgot.
[01:57:24]  They're amazing.
[01:57:26]  They look like teardrops.
[01:57:27]  Do you ever see these little things?
[01:57:28]  Chili peppers?
[01:57:29]  No, no, no, no.
[01:57:31]  And I can't remember the name.
[01:57:32]  I took a picture, sent it to ChatGPT, and said, What is it?
[01:57:34]  And it told me what it was and went to the store and we bought some.
[01:57:36]  And now I can't remember what the name is.
[01:57:38]  They're little tiny, like little tiny red and yellow peppers.
[01:57:41]  So, you know what you're talking about?
[01:57:43]  They're kind of sweet.
[01:57:44]  Like they pop in your mouth, kind of.
[01:57:46]  Yep.
[01:57:46]  Yep.
[01:57:46]  We had them at the Bavarian Inn.
[01:57:48]  They put them in the Brussels sprouts.
[01:57:49]  Yes.
[01:57:50]  Hey, Tim, I just have to ask as a devil's advocate, what does it matter, the demographic?
[01:57:54]  Shouldn't it just matter that the crime was committed?
[01:57:57]  Isn't that what they're trying to do?
[01:57:58]  That's the point, it doesn't matter who did it, it's that it happened.
[01:58:02]  That's certainly fine.
[01:58:03]  If I have a question, shouldn't it be answered truthfully?
[01:58:05]  I think it should, 100%.
[01:58:07]  Agreed.
[01:58:07]  So then I guess the question is why are they removing that piece of it?
[01:58:10]  Because it's racist.
[01:58:11]  They point out that they fear that you might then interpret that as this is a black thing rather than a white or something.
[01:58:18]  That's why they're.
[01:58:19]  Well, the reality is, all of these street takeovers are coming from the black community and not typically anywhere else.
[01:58:28]  There are street takeovers among other racial groups, but it is dominated by this culture that is fomented in black neighborhoods.
[01:58:36]  That does not mean that an individual black person from the Congo is likely to engage in a street takeover.
[01:58:42]  It means that we are seeing in key areas of cities a culture is being bred among the people who live in those areas.
[01:58:48]  You put a white person or a Latino in those areas, they'll join in just the same.
[01:58:52]  When I ask ChatGPT to break that down for me, it should not lie, but it does.
[01:58:57]  That's a problem because that means in the future, if there was a legitimate question, maybe there's a question of like, why should it matter when you ask about the racial makeup of a large criminal event?
[01:59:09]  Okay.
[01:59:10]  Let's say that there is a medical treatment that needs to be provided to a large group of people following a catastrophic.
[01:59:15]  Large criminal incident, a major shooting, or whatever.
[01:59:18]  The issue I take with the transgender stuff, for instance, when people's IDs have the wrong sex on it, that matters for medication.
[01:59:27]  That matters for how you are given first aid treatment.
[01:59:31]  So if a first responder is trying to provide medical care to someone that they can't tell if they're male or female, that's going to cause a problem for how they treat this person.
[01:59:40]  The same thing is true for racial backgrounds.
[01:59:42]  The point is, the argument that AI fears you will be racist is not a justification for presenting false information to somebody.
[01:59:52]  That will result in confusion, which will be fed back into the system and create a feedback loop, which will taint the data sets and corrupt it.
[02:00:00]  And we will get not a Terminator scenario, but what I call the corn dystopia scenario, where everyone's dressed like corn, eating corn, tables are made from corn byproduct, we drive out and In cars shaped like corn, because the AI keeps feedback looping what it thinks people like.
[02:00:15]  And the algorithm says, humans subsidize corn.
[02:00:18]  Corn is better than everything else.
[02:00:20]  Stop wasting energy on pizza.
[02:00:22]  Just do corn.
[02:00:23]  And if we follow that AI to its conclusion, we will just have nothing but corn.
[02:00:27]  What does this say about the programmers who just assumes everybody is racist?

=== Corn Dystopia Feedback Loop (05:08) ===

[02:00:30]  I mean, that's what we should really be talking about.
[02:00:32]  That's concerning.
[02:00:33]  Yep, that's ChatGPT.
[02:00:35]  Grok doesn't care.
[02:00:36]  Grok will tell you straight up.
[02:00:37]  Grok will like cuss you out.
[02:00:39]  Yeah, Grok will insult you.
[02:00:41]  Yeah, it will.
[02:00:42]  Yeah, I like Grok.
[02:00:43]  It's a good place to do research.
[02:00:45]  ChatGPT is like functionally a therapist.
[02:00:46]  There's like, you could literally be like, oh, I just cheated on my wife.
[02:00:49]  And they're like, well, you know, you were struggling.
[02:00:51]  Like, I totally understand.
[02:00:52]  ChatGPT is good when you want to edit something, but not change it, but like, hey, can you help me with misspelled words and stuff?
[02:00:59]  Actually, Grok, imagine, is the best video and photo editing that I've seen for any AI.
[02:01:07]  Yeah.
[02:01:07]  So, you know, obviously, you know, messing around with these things.
[02:01:10]  I took one of the thumbnails from YouTube and I pasted it into Grok and said, take this thumbnail, keep Tim Poole the same, and change the graphics and the title to say this.
[02:01:22]  Nailed it first try.
[02:01:23]  Nice.
[02:01:23]  It made a YouTube thumbnail for me perfectly.
[02:01:26]  And I was like, holy crap.
[02:01:28]  Went on ChatGPT, it made a CGI render of a guy who was like wearing my clothes, but clearly was not me and was making a weird face and had perfect teeth.
[02:01:38]  And then it put.
[02:01:40]  Fake politicians.
[02:01:41]  And I was like, yeah, that's unusable.
[02:01:42]  I think OpenAI lost the race.
[02:01:44]  They started too early or something and they burned, they petered out.
[02:01:48]  They closed down.
[02:01:49]  I think Grok is winning.
[02:01:51]  Grok and I guess, was it called Claude, right?
[02:01:54]  Yeah, yeah.
[02:01:55]  I use that to identify all the bugs that get caught in the traps in my garage.
[02:01:59]  The government's just about to give mythos to a bunch of different agencies and Trump's like, we need to kill Switch for this thing.
[02:02:05]  It's about to load, dude.
[02:02:07]  My friends, we've got a pretty brutal story for you guys.
[02:02:09]  It's going to make your blood boil.
[02:02:10]  We're going to have it on the uncensored portion of the show because of how evil.
[02:02:13]  This video is, and I'm not kidding when I say some of you might actually cry seeing this.
[02:02:20]  Grown men, and it will fill you with rage the likes of which you have never experienced.
[02:02:24]  So that's going to be at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL in about a minute or two.
[02:02:28]  You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.
[02:02:31]  Sir, would you like to shout anything out?
[02:02:32]  Hey, first of all, just thanks for having me on.
[02:02:35]  I want to say special thanks to you.
[02:02:37]  It's just a pleasure to be here.
[02:02:38]  Big fan.
[02:02:39]  Thanks for coming.
[02:02:40]  You know, special thanks to the people I work with, Discovery Institute.
[02:02:44]  I work closely with them.
[02:02:45]  I've been traveling the country just trying to change the narrative, especially with the homeless industrial complex, be in the counter narrative, spreading truth on the streets.
[02:02:55]  So just appreciate you all.
[02:02:57]  Yeah.
[02:02:58]  And Kevin, people are going to follow you on exit, Kevin Dahlgren.
[02:03:01]  Is that the right one?
[02:03:01]  I want to make sure.
[02:03:02]  If you just type in Kevin Dahlgren, truth on the streets, or just Kevin Dahlgren, you're going to find it.
[02:03:06]  Yep, there it is.
[02:03:07]  Thanks for coming, man.
[02:03:08]  I'm at Ian Crossan.
[02:03:09]  You'll find me on the internet.
[02:03:10]  Shout out to those pigs that got away from that robot and all the future animals that will also be running from the robots.
[02:03:16]  I like how the robot was winded.
[02:03:18]  Had to stop.
[02:03:20]  One day, they will eventually run out of electricity, so keep running.
[02:03:23]  They're coming after us.
[02:03:24]  The hogs are just in the way.
[02:03:27]  Carter Banks.
[02:03:28]  Hey, man.
[02:03:29]  Hey, man.
[02:03:30]  Kevin, thanks for coming.
[02:03:32]  Dude, this has been really cool, the robot thing.
[02:03:36]  I just wanted to wish my dad a happy birthday.
[02:03:38]  It's his birthday today.
[02:03:39]  And that's all.
[02:03:40]  Tate.
[02:03:42]  Shout out to Carter's dad as well.
[02:03:43]  Happy birthday.
[02:03:44]  X and Instagram at RealtateBrown.
[02:03:46]  Give me a follow.
[02:03:47]  I don't know if you guys noticed, there's a Timcast TateBrown channel that is now active and uploading.
[02:03:51]  I'll have a.
[02:03:52]  The interview from today going up some point Friday or Saturday, and it's going to be a beautiful thing.
[02:03:57]  So, stand look out for that.
[02:03:59]  See you guys.
[02:03:59]  We'll see you all over at rumble.com slash Tim Kest IRL in about 20 seconds.
[02:04:03]  Thanks for hanging out.
[02:05:10]  Man, that took a long time.
[02:05:12]  I saw this video and I started welling up.
[02:05:16]  And I, uh, dark thoughts.
[02:05:19]  Dark thoughts.
[02:05:20]  This is a video of two gay men who have a surrogacy baby and the baby cries begging for its mother, which they stole this baby from.
[02:05:33]  She sold this baby for money.
[02:05:36]  All of these people should be in prison.

=== Stolen Baby Adoption Tragedy (12:23) ===

[02:05:38]  Who do you want?
[02:05:40]  Dada or Pop?
[02:05:42]  No, no, no.
[02:05:43]  Yo mama!
[02:05:45]  Do you want Dada or Pop?
[02:05:52]  Who do you want?
[02:05:54]  Dada or Pop?
[02:05:59]  Nope.
[02:06:01]  Do you want Dada or Pop?
[02:06:05]  No way, Jose.
[02:06:09]  I think.
[02:06:10]  Oh.
[02:06:12]  There is no mama.
[02:06:14]  I'm so sorry.
[02:06:16]  Oh my god.
[02:06:16]  You have Dada and Pop.
[02:06:18]  You have Pop.
[02:06:19]  Two choices.
[02:06:20]  No mama.
[02:06:26]  No, mama.
[02:06:29]  Dada or pop?
[02:06:37]  My God, dude.
[02:06:38]  I don't have a kid.
[02:06:39]  I just want to say, as a non kid dude, that's like when a kid talks to you like that, you don't tell them no when they're six months old because you're just traumatizing this fucking kid.
[02:06:49]  Like the kid's just expressing itself, whatever it's saying.
[02:06:52]  And you're supposed to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, keep going.
[02:06:55]  They purchased this child from its mother and it's wondering where its mother is.
[02:06:58]  That.
[02:06:59]  I don't have as big of a problem with surrogacy, I guess.
[02:07:02]  I don't know.
[02:07:02]  So, you think women should be allowed to sell children?
[02:07:06]  Should a woman be able to sell her child for 30 grand to two gay men?
[02:07:09]  I saw Santos on last week who's getting it, and I'm like.
[02:07:12]  You asked him if he's getting surrogacy?
[02:07:13]  He didn't say surrogacy.
[02:07:15]  Yeah, he did.
[02:07:16]  He did not say that around me.
[02:07:17]  Oh, really?
[02:07:18]  Yeah.
[02:07:18]  I never thought he did.
[02:07:19]  I didn't go into it with him.
[02:07:20]  Yeah.
[02:07:21]  But that, like, if it's a consensual contract, I guess.
[02:07:26]  Yeah, selling your children is totally okay.
[02:07:28]  He used to do it in Rome.
[02:07:30]  No, absolutely not.
[02:07:31]  These people should be in prison.
[02:07:33]  Do you think a child has the right to a mom and dad?
[02:07:35]  What if it's an unfit mother?
[02:07:38]  If we're talking about a mother who's drug addicted and abusive, we take the baby from the mom and it's sad.
[02:07:43]  And when the child cries because its mother was a bad person, we comfort it and say, I'm sorry.
[02:07:48]  When you have two gay men who purchased a child from a woman that cries begging for its mom as they laugh at it, fuck me, dude.
[02:07:57]  Dark thoughts, man.
[02:07:58]  That kid shouldn't have been crying.
[02:07:59]  They shouldn't have been bringing that kid to tears by telling him that.
[02:08:02]  Well, the worst thing is to think about the fact that the kid is still with these people.
[02:08:06]  Right now, I know this is a CPS needs to be knocking doors down.
[02:08:09]  I mean, this is utterly ridiculous.
[02:08:10]  This kid would like quite literally be better off in a government, you know, government program than, yeah, actually, situation because at least there'd be like maternal influences around.
[02:08:17]  I mean, I firmly believe my whole argument is just predicated on I think a child has a right to a father and mother, and that's why we accurately view single parenthood as like kind of a tragic thing.
[02:08:25]  I think, wow, yeah, you are they are losing an aspect that's vital to the development of a child.
[02:08:30]  I have a one year old now, my daughter, she's just over one year.
[02:08:35]  Can you believe it's been that long?
[02:08:37]  And this.
[02:08:39]  It's really hard because I could not imagine what I would do for my daughter for some reason.
[02:08:46]  Her mom, my wife, was no longer around.
[02:08:48]  You know, heaven forbid something happened, and my daughter was crying, saying, Mom.
[02:08:52]  I look at this and I see these guys laughing.
[02:08:54]  They're laughing, saying, No, no, as the baby cries.
[02:08:58]  You're like, No, mama.
[02:08:59]  The baby knows who its mother is.
[02:09:02]  The baby was born and was held by that mother.
[02:09:06]  The baby needs breast milk.
[02:09:08]  The baby needs its mom, and they paid.
[02:09:11]  This woman, she is complicit all the same.
[02:09:15]  These people are all depraved, evil.
[02:09:18]  This man should be in prison.
[02:09:20]  Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
[02:09:22]  I mean, the fact that this is permitted in our society is really just the ultimate indictment, right?
[02:09:28]  I got to be honest.
[02:09:28]  Like, I'm ready to go Islam on this.
[02:09:31]  Sharia law.
[02:09:32]  What if it's a surrogacy for like a man and a woman to raise a kid, but another woman carries the kid?
[02:09:37]  I still, I mean, for vanity reasons, illegal.
[02:09:41]  If a woman, it should be allowed to make content like this.
[02:09:45]  This is child abuse.
[02:09:47]  They should be charged and the child should be taken away.
[02:09:49]  In this case, sure, but what about.
[02:09:51]  You know, I generally support some type of gay marriage.
[02:09:56]  I think there's loving parents out there, just kind of sure, don't buy children.
[02:10:00]  Gay marriage is fine, buying children is not.
[02:10:02]  I'm conservative across the table, I think gay marriage is wrong.
[02:10:05]  I think it's like it's just I understand, I think people are coming from a good place, but ultimately, like, the slippery slope arguments are all vindicated.
[02:10:11]  I mean, 10 years after a burger fell, this happens.
[02:10:14]  I mean, well, yeah, we also have all the rape stories, too.
[02:10:16]  And I'm not going to throw good people out the window because some people are criminals, but I would just say.
[02:10:21]  It's one thing if you're asking for legal benefits on taxes, employment, access for family.
[02:10:26]  It's another thing if you're asking to buy children.
[02:10:28]  Well, that's why I like if you evaluate gay marriage and what does it actually do, then the philosophical conclusion is going to be this because you're saying, well, they're no different than a man and a woman.
[02:10:38]  Then it's like, then why can't they adopt it?
[02:10:41]  I don't think, at least as I see it, you can't hold those two positions or you can't not hold both of those positions.
[02:10:47]  Well, the argument would be that equality under the law doesn't mean that you're the same.
[02:10:51]  So, like, two men have equality under the law, but Doesn't mean that one of them is a woman and should be able to raise it, have a baby.
[02:10:57]  No, you can't buy children.
[02:10:59]  That's it.
[02:11:00]  But if it's your come and you get a woman to pay her a couple hundred thousand dollars to gestate your semen, like that should be totally legal.
[02:11:08]  You know, you make a good point.
[02:11:09]  Years ago, I was planning to adopt, and the first meeting they said it's going to cost thirty two thousand dollars.
[02:11:17]  I remember them said so.
[02:11:18]  That was like the first thing they told us is this is how much the baby is going to be if you're interested.
[02:11:23]  And I always thought it was weird.
[02:11:25]  To put a number to it.
[02:11:26]  Yeah.
[02:11:26]  Rather than let's ask, are we going to be good parents?
[02:11:29]  And, you know, like we didn't really know what we were doing, but that was the first thing I heard it'll be $32,000.
[02:11:36]  It's a strict rule in Oregon that you have to pay extra.
[02:11:39]  You know, like that's apparently kind of expensive.
[02:11:42]  Like other states, it's cheaper to buy the baby, but in Oregon, it's a little expensive.
[02:11:46]  And this was 10 plus years ago.
[02:11:49]  But they said, well, we didn't go through it, but that's, but they said, A lot of the money goes to the mom.
[02:12:01]  Gives up the kid for adoption, so it makes me wonder.
[02:12:03]  It felt like, was this mom selling the baby for them?
[02:12:07]  Like, that's that's if two gay men go to a woman and say, We're going to inseminate you and then pay you 30 grand, and we get the baby.
[02:12:14]  That's a woman selling the baby, she should go to prison, they should go to prison as well.
[02:12:19]  We just assumed there wasn't really money involved, it was more of like, Are we the right people for this child?
[02:12:25]  Right?
[02:12:25]  Like, we wanted a child but couldn't have the child, and so that was kind of a learning experience for us.
[02:12:32]  Yeah, you see certain instances.
[02:12:33]  I think Dave Rubin.
[02:12:34]  Doesn't Dave Rubin, it was like his sister and then Dave Rubin's husband, in quotation marks, like, oh, it was part of the.
[02:12:41]  I believe Dave's sister?
[02:12:42]  Yeah, I think it was Dave's sister or his husband's sister.
[02:12:46]  Like, they kept it in the family.
[02:12:50]  With all due respect to Dave, still wrong.
[02:12:51]  Yeah, totally.
[02:12:52]  I brought it, and it's a little, I mean, it's a little.
[02:12:54]  And he takes it, but if people argue with him all the time, he'll debate it.
[02:12:57]  Like, the Romans did sell their families into slavery when they couldn't pay their debts.
[02:13:02]  Yes, we don't live like the Romans in bathhouse orgies.
[02:13:05]  Oh, sorry, never mind.
[02:13:06]  You know, we like in the.
[02:13:07]  How a country might be falling to the.
[02:13:10]  I guess we don't have Castrato choirs right now.
[02:13:12]  You guys want to hit a bathhouse after this?
[02:13:16]  I need to get this sweat off my body.
[02:13:18]  I'm not going to go to the bathhouse you want to go to.
[02:13:20]  No, no, no.
[02:13:21]  We're clear.
[02:13:22]  Actually, hold on.
[02:13:22]  Eric Swan.
[02:13:24]  There is a natural spring bathhouse in Berkeley Springs.
[02:13:26]  Oh, I heard.
[02:13:26]  I want to go.
[02:13:27]  Dude.
[02:13:28]  Have you been?
[02:13:28]  I'm going.
[02:13:29]  Alice and I went to go check it out.
[02:13:31]  Yeah.
[02:13:32]  They're single rooms where the spring water flows in, and it's warm spring water.
[02:13:36]  That's pretty cool.
[02:13:36]  And it's got all these, like, healing.
[02:13:38]  I think minerals and everything.
[02:13:39]  Oldest.
[02:13:40]  It's a real bathroom.
[02:13:41]  Yeah.
[02:13:41]  Like, it's a single small room the size of like a large closet.
[02:13:45]  And you walk downstairs into it.
[02:13:47]  Then you get up, you dry yourself off, and it's only for one person.
[02:13:50]  And there's like five rooms and people watching guard, you know?
[02:13:54]  Because I was like that.
[02:13:54]  Because I've heard the Turkish bathhouses in New York are like Grove City.
[02:13:57]  Oh, really?
[02:13:58]  And they'll just beat you with those green fronds or something?
[02:14:01]  Dude, it gets wacky and wild.
[02:14:03]  What?
[02:14:03]  Yeah.
[02:14:04]  Or that's the Russian bathhouses.
[02:14:05]  They'll hit you with these leaves.
[02:14:06]  They're Russian.
[02:14:07]  And then his skin will get all sensitive.
[02:14:09]  I think this kid's going to grow up to be a murderer or something.
[02:14:11]  Oh, man.
[02:14:12]  I hope not.
[02:14:12]  I think kids need moms.
[02:14:14]  You know, people often talk about how children who grow up without dads are more likely to be criminals or do drugs and all that stuff.
[02:14:21]  I think we overlook what it's like for children who grow up without moms because we don't track the metrics on that.
[02:14:26]  But I think there are going to be developmental disabilities.
[02:14:29]  They just don't present in criminality, but they present in some other detrimental form that we're not tracking for.
[02:14:33]  Well, yeah, it's like when you hear an instance of a single mother, you're like, that's tragic, but like, you know, it's nothing new.
[02:14:38]  If you're seeing an instance of a single father, you assume something really tragic happened, like, you know, the mother died or something because.
[02:14:44]  That's like, that's a lot of the times what happens in custody battles.
[02:14:47]  A lot of times the dads don't even contest it.
[02:14:49]  When you ask me, What, how would I feel if I didn't eat breakfast yesterday?
[02:14:53]  I can tell you I would have been hungry, I would have been angry.
[02:14:56]  But when you ask me, What would have been like if you didn't have a mother growing up?
[02:14:59]  I don't think I don't know how to answer to begin to answer it, right?
[02:15:03]  There's so many questions like that where people like postulate it, and you're like, Well, I can't exist without the context of that prerequisite.
[02:15:09]  Like when people ask you, Well, how would you feel if you were a migrant from Honduras?
[02:15:12]  I'm like, I can't because the entire every aspect of my life, every aspect of my personality is predicated on me being raised in the United States.
[02:15:19]  So it's like, I can't actually participate in that, you know, sort of thing.
[02:15:24]  This, this.
[02:15:25]  Yeah.
[02:15:26]  Man, this one gets my blood boiling.
[02:15:28]  Yeah, this is absolutely ridiculous.
[02:15:30]  Men and women, like you could have, I don't know, you down with gay couples raising kids?
[02:15:34]  I'm okay with gay couples raising kids.
[02:15:35]  No, only in certain circumstances.
[02:15:37]  If a child is in foster care, like if Dave Rubin, and with all due respect, I'm not trying to drag Dave Rubin or anything.
[02:15:45]  If there was a kid who was in foster care or is in the adoption, you know, network or whatever, and they were having a rough go of it, Dave's a great person to raise a kid who's in desperate need of it.
[02:15:55]  So, I have no problem with vetted gay couples who are adopting kids who otherwise don't have parents.
[02:16:01]  That's certainly better than a kid just with nothing.
[02:16:04]  But to purchase the child.
[02:16:06]  Dude, there's going to be robots that want to raise human kids and they're going to buy them from humans.
[02:16:12]  They're going to raise them like their own kid.
[02:16:14]  Yeah, that's true.
[02:16:15]  And in this specific instance, I mean, the reason you rarely do see a teenager being adopted by gay couples is because, primarily, as I see it, and I think this is accurate, there's been sociological studies on this, is that they view this as vanity.
[02:16:27]  I think Carter used the word vanity.
[02:16:29]  Well, that didn't do it.
[02:16:30]  I was like, content.
[02:16:30]  Yeah, yeah, vanity.
[02:16:32]  That's absolutely what's going on, is because, again, who's to say that this child's even going to be looked after once they're not cute anymore?
[02:16:37]  You know, once they're like older, once they're a teenager, things get a little difficult.
[02:16:41]  I think these couples also, like, yeah, it's just going to be a completely different instance.
[02:16:45]  They just like the idea of having a baby because it validates, like, because what's happening with gay couples is just constantly a voice in the back of their head saying, like, this isn't a real marriage.
[02:16:53]  This isn't a real couple because, like, it is ordained by the Almighty.
[02:16:56]  And so what's going to happen at a certain point is when the LARPing stops, when they're like, okay, we're actually not a real couple.
[02:17:02]  This baby's not ours.
[02:17:03]  I dread to see what that's going to look like in 10 years because this is like now this has been legal for only a few years.
[02:17:09]  What's going to happen when this kid's like 12 and he's not cute anymore?
[02:17:11]  He's causing problems and the vanity's gone.
[02:17:13]  What happens when the sex ed that this kid gets at 12 or 13 is the LGBTQ version where they're talking about scat and butt plugs?
[02:17:22]  Yeah.
[02:17:22]  You get Tyler Fisher.
[02:17:24]  I'm just kind of kidding, Tyler, but I think he was his dad came out as gay when he was like 10, I think, and then he was raised by his dad and his dad's husband for like 10 years or something.
[02:17:32]  He was like, I don't know.
[02:17:33]  It was all normal to me.
[02:17:34]  I don't know that he wasn't purchased.
[02:17:36]  No, he had a mom.
[02:17:37]  Right.
[02:17:37]  He was raised with his mom and dad for a while, I think, before that happened.
[02:17:39]  And I think everyone would acknowledge that's like not the best case scenario.
[02:17:42]  The best case scenario is a mom and dad.
[02:17:44]  Got a bad affiliate relationship with the kids.
[02:17:45]  Well, babies need breast milk.
[02:17:47]  Yeah.
[02:17:48]  Formula is fake.
[02:17:50]  Formula is corn syrup and other garbage.
[02:17:53]  I went over this with my wife when we're looking at all this formula.
[02:17:56]  I don't want to give my daughter fucking corn syrup.
[02:17:58]  That's what it is.
[02:17:59]  Even the good stuff, everyone's like, oh, it's really good.

=== LGBTQ Sex Ed Concerns (04:41) ===

[02:18:01]  It's corn syrup.
[02:18:01]  All right, let's bring in some callers.
[02:18:03]  We got Thinker for Life.
[02:18:05]  What's going on, brother?
[02:18:06]  What up?
[02:18:07]  Hi.
[02:18:08]  Hey guys, how's it going?
[02:18:10]  Thanks for having me on.
[02:18:11]  Right on.
[02:18:11]  If you're calling in.
[02:18:12]  Yeah, so you guys were talking about the replacement of homeless people in the cities and stuff like that and all that.
[02:18:24]  And from my point of view here in Michigan, I'm seeing it from a different, like a higher level.
[02:18:30]  We've always said that Muslims and stuff play the long game.
[02:18:35]  And in my view, I see it that way.
[02:18:39]  You look at where the coagulation of.
[02:18:42]  Illegal immigration is kind of existing.
[02:18:44]  Dearborn, which was known to be the hub for Ford and Henry Ford and all that, and Hamtramck, where they're doing the manufacturing.
[02:18:56]  Do you guys think that they want people to get frustrated and leave the state so that it is the replacement?
[02:19:04]  Yes.
[02:19:05]  Absolutely.
[02:19:06]  Yeah.
[02:19:06]  I mean, and they win more political power.
[02:19:08]  Yeah.
[02:19:08]  We literally had Keir Starmer.
[02:19:09]  I know it's Britain, but we had Keir Starmer come out and he's like, any British people that are unhappy with the sort of, for like a better word, demographic upheaval occurring, leave.
[02:19:17]  He literally just lost.
[02:19:18]  How do we bring all of like the Sargon of Akkad's over here?
[02:19:22]  Connor Tomlinson.
[02:19:24]  Yeah.
[02:19:24]  Trump should be like, free passports, permanent residency right off the bat.
[02:19:28]  You're British and you love Britain.
[02:19:30]  Yeah, I think it's only been used once, but there is in the refugee system, like the restructuring the Trump administration took, is that any European dissident could claim asylum in the United States.
[02:19:40]  One of the challenges is those superstars that are truly in it for their country.
[02:19:44]  They don't want to leave their country.
[02:19:45]  They want to stay on.
[02:19:46]  Yeah, yeah.
[02:19:46]  Connor told me, like, there's not an instance where he doesn't die in Britain.
[02:19:50]  So it's pretty much what Sargon said when he was here.
[02:19:53]  Yeah.
[02:19:53]  Similar answer.
[02:19:54]  I know I want to recruit them, but I'm like, I think I shouldn't.
[02:19:56]  I don't want to drain my friends in their other countries.
[02:20:00]  Yeah, I'm actually not.
[02:20:01]  I think it's.
[02:20:02]  I think it's so much harder to win background than it is, obviously, to seed ground.
[02:20:06]  So it's like, why?
[02:20:08]  You know, why seed Britain?
[02:20:10]  I mean, like, that's our ancestral homeland for like heritage Americans for a variety of reasons.
[02:20:14]  It's just like, and in many ways, the British are actually in a slightly better position than we are in some instances.
[02:20:19]  Well, well, well, I got to find out.
[02:20:20]  Why vacate territory?
[02:20:22]  It's technically correct to say it's our homeland because the colonies were under the rule of the crown, but these colonies were built by a bunch of different Europeans, like New York was New Amsterdam.
[02:20:31]  So the Dutch came and settled here, and then the British came.
[02:20:34]  Took control of it.
[02:20:35]  And Quebec was also British, and that we should own.
[02:20:39]  Agreed.
[02:20:40]  Well, yeah.
[02:20:40]  Canada.
[02:20:41]  Yeah, I mean, there were other groups, but like it was like 98%.
[02:20:44]  At the time of independence, it was like 98% like the founding stock of America, right?
[02:20:50]  It was the Dutch.
[02:20:51]  The Dutch had to similar.
[02:20:52]  Like Martin Van Buren was the only president in American history that English wasn't his first language.
[02:20:57]  It was Dutch, but no one at the time, and in a time with serious sectarianism, no one at the time viewed him as like not part of the core founding stock.
[02:21:04]  They were considering having German.
[02:21:06]  To be our official language.
[02:21:08]  I was in the Van Buren boys when I was a teenager.
[02:21:12]  Nice.
[02:21:12]  Let's go.
[02:21:13]  Does anybody know that reference?
[02:21:14]  No, what is it?
[02:21:15]  Seinfeld, the Van Buren boys.
[02:21:18]  Don't you remember that?
[02:21:19]  The gang?
[02:21:20]  Who was that?
[02:21:20]  George?
[02:21:20]  That was the gang they formed?
[02:21:22]  Yeah, it was this ongoing joke that he joined the Van Buren boys.
[02:21:26]  George did?
[02:21:26]  Yeah, George.
[02:21:27]  That's what George would do.
[02:21:28]  He was the Van Buren boys.
[02:21:29]  Nice.
[02:21:30]  Is there anything else you want to add to that?
[02:21:31]  You know, carry on the conversation, sir?
[02:21:34]  Yeah, I'd just say it all looks very intentional and strategic manufacturing hubs, the means of production, all that, you know.
[02:21:43]  And I'm just hoping people wake up and see it for what it is.
[02:21:50]  These people are here to occupy.
[02:21:53]  I mean, my old house that I grew up with is occupied by three Chinese families just outside of Detroit, you know.
[02:22:01]  And.
[02:22:03]  And so that's my point of view.
[02:22:04]  And I would like to shout out a fundraiser campaign going on for a farm rescue here in Michigan called Mitten Misfits.
[02:22:15]  It's mittenmisfits.org.
[02:22:18]  And they're doing a telethon all week long trying to raise money on WILX Channel 10, making an impact.
[02:22:28]  So we're trying to help the growth community using farm animals and influence kids.
[02:22:34]  To get out and help take care of the animals and learn some hard work ethic.
[02:22:41]  But no, thanks for having me on.

=== Michigan Farm Rescue Fundraiser (05:22) ===

[02:22:43]  I appreciate it.
[02:22:43]  Yeah, man.
[02:22:44]  Thanks for calling in, brother.
[02:22:45]  Thank you, dude.
[02:22:46]  Next up, we've got T Baggin' Elite.
[02:22:49]  What a name.
[02:22:50]  How's it going, everybody?
[02:22:52]  I am back.
[02:22:53]  And good to see you, the Night of Narcan, Kevin.
[02:22:56]  Love your work, dude.
[02:22:57]  Thank you for trying to save people out on the streets.
[02:22:59]  Thanks, brother.
[02:22:59]  Not just trying, succeeding in a lot of places.
[02:23:03]  So I have a silly question to lighten the mood because we're in some dark times covering some dark topics tonight.
[02:23:09]  Do any of you hope that aliens will come to straighten out Earth's bullshit to bring us into the Galactic Federation?
[02:23:15]  Yes.
[02:23:16]  Or do you think they're going to say screw this planet and annihilate the vast majority of us?
[02:23:20]  Hopefully, starting with the government first.
[02:23:22]  No, not an already human.
[02:23:24]  Aliens right now are on their planet, and there's this one alien sitting around a table, and he's talking like this into a microphone going, The chips on Earth are in a civil war, and I don't mean the ones in Africa, I mean the humans.
[02:23:39]  And then they all laugh.
[02:23:40]  Yeah, I think they view us as like the North Sentinelese.
[02:23:42]  They're like, oh, look, we sent down a craft and they're like poking it with a stick.
[02:23:46]  How funny is that?
[02:23:50]  I think they're here.
[02:23:51]  That's so funny.
[02:23:52]  They're so quirky over there.
[02:23:54]  They're inside us, the aliens.
[02:23:55]  They're controlling us.
[02:23:56]  They're vying for control of our bodies like demons and angels, but they're like these high frequency personas.
[02:24:02]  They're here right now.
[02:24:03]  They're involved with this in this room.
[02:24:06]  How annoying would it be if we did find all these alien civilizations and they're all just like basically the same as humans?
[02:24:11]  They're not cool or green or anything.
[02:24:13]  They're just like.
[02:24:14]  They look like us as well.
[02:24:15]  I don't know why they've always believed we are not the center of the universe.
[02:24:18]  It's ridiculous to think, with how incredibly small Earth is in an infinite universe, that there isn't other intelligent life.
[02:24:26]  That's ridiculous.
[02:24:28]  Of course, there is.
[02:24:29]  It's just so obscenely far away.
[02:24:32]  We have not reached that level of technology to ever discover it.
[02:24:36]  But they, if the universe truly is billions of years old, they are far more advanced.
[02:24:42]  Yeah.
[02:24:42]  And they, It's why wouldn't they be observing us and we wouldn't have the even understanding of it?
[02:24:49]  It's like a person with an ant farm.
[02:24:52]  They'll definitely find us.
[02:24:53]  They'll never understand what's truly going on.
[02:24:55]  And you know what they say is that if the aliens arrived to Earth before their landing craft touches the ground, the Chinese would already have a few recipes.
[02:25:04]  Because they eat aliens.
[02:25:05]  My wife is Chinese.
[02:25:06]  You have no idea how accurate that actually is.
[02:25:10]  Hungry.
[02:25:11]  No, she's from Fuzhou, China.
[02:25:13]  But yeah, I agree with you, Tate.
[02:25:15]  I don't want them to look like humans.
[02:25:16]  I want to meet Bleep Blork, not fucking, hi, I'm Steve from, you know, Tiberius 5.
[02:25:23]  I think the aliens want us to succeed and come together and form a galactic civilization.
[02:25:29]  They seem to want that, which is why they say good triumphs over evil and why for.
[02:25:34]  Tens of thousands of years, we've actually come together as a species and have built an internet to communicate via telephone in real time with people.
[02:25:41]  They're probably laughing their asses off that we're now just discussing a moon base.
[02:25:44]  They might test us.
[02:25:45]  And to them, they think that's so ridiculously small innovation.
[02:25:50]  They might test us by bringing down space cash, like trying to see what, you know, if we'll give it away, what we'll do with it, or we'll come back and ask for it.
[02:26:00]  Mr. Beast Day.
[02:26:01]  Wasn't that a South Park episode?
[02:26:03]  Yes.
[02:26:04]  Did what happen?
[02:26:05]  Pinewood Derby.
[02:26:07]  Maybe FARC's beating snacks.
[02:26:08]  What did you say, Kevin?
[02:26:09]  You said something cool.
[02:26:10]  I was looking at the door.
[02:26:12]  I said something cool.
[02:26:13]  Yeah, something about aliens doing something.
[02:26:14]  Oh, the moon thing.
[02:26:15]  You missed it, dude.
[02:26:16]  Well, just like if, you know, since aliens very likely exist, they're laughing their asses off that we're now just talking about a moon base.
[02:26:24]  To them, they're thinking this is so ridiculously small and means nothing in the greater scheme of things.
[02:26:31]  They're probably like, bro, they have all the equipment they need.
[02:26:34]  Why aren't they beating the level?
[02:26:36]  They're like, what the fuck are they wasting time fighting hordes for and fighting each other and like, Bro, you have all the equipment.
[02:26:41]  Just do it.
[02:26:43]  Wait till they see Instagram Reels and then they'll understand.
[02:26:46]  Right.
[02:26:46]  They'll be like, oh, this is awesome.
[02:26:48]  Because the other aliens had.
[02:26:49]  We could be watching Reels.
[02:26:51]  Yeah, there's other aliens trying to stop us from creating a galactic system.
[02:26:56]  Do you know how hard it is being on IRL and I can't watch Instagram Reels?
[02:27:00]  Are you tempted?
[02:27:01]  Dude, like a crack addict.
[02:27:03]  Oh, dude.
[02:27:03]  I just don't look at it.
[02:27:04]  I do look at the phone.
[02:27:05]  I was going to lie to you and say that I don't.
[02:27:07]  I try not to, though.
[02:27:07]  I do a quick Twitter session about three or four times or not.
[02:27:10]  Do you doom scroll at night?
[02:27:11]  Oh, at night, yeah.
[02:27:12]  You just go in bed or you like.
[02:27:15]  Yeah.
[02:27:15]  Oh, I hate that.
[02:27:16]  I try and get out of it.
[02:27:17]  I stick my tongue out and everything.
[02:27:18]  Yeah.
[02:27:20]  You want anything or shout anything out?
[02:27:23]  The only thing that I will add is, Ian, the next time you get a chance to go traveling, you have to get a hold of me through the Discord and come down to Texas because I still need to build a Timcast themed base for y'all.
[02:27:36]  And I'm building a five stream next.
[02:27:38]  So you should do that.
[02:27:40]  But as far as shout outs, once again, shout out to Kevin for doing the Lord's work, saving people.
[02:27:45]  And shout out to the Discord for being awesome.
[02:27:47]  And I'd like to shout out my YouTube channel if you want to check out any of my guitar builds or songs that I'm working on.
[02:27:53]  It's the same as my name here, just Teabagging Elite on YouTube.
[02:27:56]  I'm going to start uploading to Rumble soon.
[02:27:59]  So you'll be able to find me there as well.
[02:28:01]  Awesome.
[02:28:01]  Right on.
[02:28:01]  Thanks for calling in, brother.
[02:28:02]  Thanks, dude.
[02:28:03]  Thanks, man.
[02:28:03]  Thank you, dude.
[02:28:04]  All right.
[02:28:04]  Catch y'all later.
[02:28:05]  I want that bass.

=== Social Media Channel Shoutouts (00:38) ===

[02:28:06]  Next up, we've got Stocks Family Farm.
[02:28:09]  What's going on?
[02:28:10]  What up?
[02:28:11]  What up?
[02:28:12]  What's going on, baby?
[02:28:13]  Good morning, everybody.
[02:28:14]  Um.
[02:28:16]  Without getting into too much detail, I'm going to say I'm on the Oregon coast.
[02:28:22]  I'm in Coos Bay.
[02:28:24]  And my dad is currently homeless.
[02:28:28]  He's been homeless for the last five years here in Oregon.
[02:28:32]  And they've been shifting him around from city to city.
[02:28:35]  Every time he starts to get a leg up, they move into another city.
[02:28:40]  And they ship the homeless from Portland and Eugene.
