The ESKRIDGE CONSPIRACY, 11 UFO Scientists MISSING, Trump Calls For INVESTIGATION
Tim Pool investigates the disappearance of 11 UFO scientists, including Amy Eskridge, debating whether this signals a government cover-up, foreign assassination, or recruitment for a new Manhattan Project. He critiques Elon Musk's Universal Basic Income proposal as a path to hyperinflation and centralized control akin to China's social credit system, while arguing that modern feminism's rejection of motherhood drives population decline, necessitating open borders. Pool further contends that fluoride calcifies pineal glands to block divine connection and asserts that left-wing governance is more oppressive than the Trump administration, concluding that open borders pose a greater threat to societal stability than gender role debates.

Trump says we're going to keep the blockade for the time being.
We're going to take all their nuclear dust from them, which is not dust, but Trump's saying that because he keeps telling us he's blown up their uranium supplies.
So we'll get into all that news and break it down.
And then, oh boy, this will be fun.
Elon Musk says it's time for a high income UBI, which makes no sense.
But let's hear what Elon has to say.
And then we're going to round it out because I feel like it.
The feminists are all mad at me.
They're yelling at me because I said that there are men's jobs and there are women's jobs.
And I'm just going to give you a little spoiler.
Hilariously, this woman responds with Tim, you sit at a table and talk into a microphone.
You don't have calluses on your hand at all.
Actually, I've been playing the guitar for 30 years.
My hands are very calloused.
And more importantly, two thirds of podcasts are run by men.
Man's job.
Thanks for proving my point.
Before we get to the news, my friends, go to castbrew.com and buy coffee.
To be major concern, Congressman says, as the 11th mystery emerges.
They said the death or disappearance of 11 top U.S. scientists and researchers is a matter of urgent national importance.
Rep. Eric Burleson said his office had already been eyeing some of the two coincidental disappearances a year before Trump told reporters Thursday he had ordered an investigation.
The lawmaker argued the fate of scientists almost certainly linked to the access some had to classified aerospace, defense, or UFO information and may involve bad actors from China, Russia, or Iran.
So check it out.
Amy Eskridge died from a self inflicted gunshot wound at her Alabama home in 2022, and she was researching anti gravity.
That's just crazy.
Some of the scientists literally just disappeared without a trace.
Okay, so wild story.
We actually have, check out this image.
Let me see if I actually can find a better version of it.
Links between the missing and dead officials.
So Frank Meywald, Carl Grillmare both worked at JPL.
Monica Jacinto Reza did as well.
She received funding from.
Air Force, was it Wright Patterson?
And oversaw the.
Okay, so this is.
Her project was overseen by William Neal McCasland, who also worked at Kirtland, which collaborated with Los Alamos, where Anthony Chavez and Melissa Cassius, and then you've got.
Oh, you've also got Michael David Hicks, dead, linked to JPL, worked on deflecting asteroids from Earth.
Theories.
Okay, I'm going to go this one.
I have seen.
Every movie where the great catastrophe is heading to Earth, so the government goes to round people up.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
The helicopter lands in the backyard, and the guy's out there with his kid.
I mean, it's a fun story and people really love it, but it wouldn't really make sense they'd kill people.
What does make more sense is that we're on the verge of World War III.
China's super pissed about what's going on in Iran.
Trump is saying the strait's going to be open, but we're still blockading Iranian ports, which means China's still going to be cut off from some of its energy access, though the fuel that it gets from the other Gulf states will be fine.
The problem is Qatar has stopped producing LNG, liquid natural gas, so China's still largely cut off and hurting economically.
If we are on the verge of a major war, Imagine the governments going to these people and saying, You need to come with us now and work on this base.
There's two theories.
One, the U.S. government rushed full speed to the missing scientists and said, You need to come with us now.
China, Russia, Iran, who knows, executed these assassinated these other scientists, taking out powerful elements of U.S. weapons development programs.
Or the military went to these people and said, You will join the new Manhattan Project.
And when these researchers said, I'm not going to be party to weapons of mass destruction, they went, Bang!
It's also possible that the Chinese took these scientists, they went rogue to other countries, and that the U.S. government found out some of these other scientists were working for the Chinese, so they killed them.
There was that one professor who was caught taking money from China and selling off our IP, our intellectual property, from research we were funding.
What if, like, special agents, like guys in suits with, you know, silenced PP7, James Bond style, that goes to this lady and they're like, you've been revealing secrets, you know, you're a traitor.
To be fair, however, with 11 dead or missing scientists, it's possible anybody breaking is getting the message.
That being said, hold on, sorry, Ian, I don't want to jump to disparaging the name of the dead or the missing because we have no information to believe these people have done anything wrong.
As far as we know, these people were working for the US government on projects of public importance and have died or gone missing in mysterious ways, indicating some kind of foul play.
So, I wonder if the US government is pulling the work for us or else.
But I don't see why they would kill him.
Honestly, if the US was willing to kill, they'd just kidnap, right?
Like the US government would go to one of these people and say, Your anti gravity research has to be done in our deep underground base from now on.
So, you know what I love about these stories is that.
I was reading this one UFO story where an Air Force pilot said he saw strange objects flying over near, like, Western Florida.
And then the news article was like, the strange UFO sighting was witnessed, was about 70 miles away from an advanced weapons research facility run by the Navy.
And I'm like, what is this?
Why would you headline it UFO spotted and then mention at the bottom of the article near advanced weapons research for the Navy?
I've also heard the argument, too, that no one is actually more directly incentivized for there to be.
Public fears over the UFOs than the United States government, specifically the military, because again, that's something they go to Congress with and say, hey, we need a budget increase like now.
So, actually, if you look at where the incentives would be, I don't know if I subscribe to the theory 100%, but in theory, the defense, the Department of War now, would be directly incentivized for there to be increased fears over UFOs.
And I think because they go to Congress and say, hey, we need our trillion dollar budget like now, or now they have it, but we need a trillion and a half dollar budget.
Like, hey, there's these potential China has these super weapons or potentially there's extraterrestrials.
Let's get some more money right now.
I mean, we see that all the time where government agencies stoke fears.
Like the postmaster comes out every year.
He's like, oh my gosh, we're going to have to increase stamps like 50%.
And, you know, I'm going to preface this with if instead of saying what I'm about to say, I instead said it's aliens, this proves it, we'd get more views.
But this may just be a bias where people die.
These people have died at different times.
Some people go missing.
People go hiking and fall off the trail, you know, onto a cliff all the time.
And so a lot of people have just speculated we're seeing patterns where there isn't one.
So I would like to be a mouthpiece to, like, make, hey, you don't need to say everything you know on TV.
Some of this stuff, like the Manhattan Project, if we hadn't done it and they probably, people didn't know the scientists were working on it while they were, we would have lost World War II.
We could very well lose the world economic order if we don't have security.
I'll be like, there's plenty of cases or there's been plenty of movies or theories where, like, the gay guy feels guilt and, like, then he Jeffrey Dahmer is his gay guy.
Anyway, my point is like, when you get a story, well, like, when I'm looking at this story and it's a gay guy holding a baby and it's like very abusive, it's very horrifying.
And then I'm like, here's his Instagram and his last name is McAnally.
I said, this is fake.
Yeah.
Like somebody faked this.
Like, this is like, this is not real.
Someone made a fake video to generate outrage, right?
My point is, it could be higher dimensional entities that view us like ants or bugs, and they're looking down, giggling, being like, This guy's trying to have a podcast.
So Q is a character in the show who is a higher dimensional being, can manipulate reality however he wants.
And the one thing I always did not like about the character, like, it's fine.
I love Star Trek.
It's just the presumption of Picard and the other characters is that Q is temperamental and erratic.
Whereas at no point did the characters actually just address, obviously, a higher intelligence with expansive knowledge is going to be beyond our perception, our conception of pettiness.
Thus, Q is acting irrationally and antagonistic for a reason.
And they just, they, they, they, they've, so in the show, the general idea is Q, like I said, he's all powerful, right?
He's some kind of weird entity.
And they presume he's just an annoying guy.
Yet that's like probably not.
The emotional spectrum we have relative to an ant is like near infinity.
What if the World Trade Center, the reason that there's a real 9 11 conspiracy, is that just some interdimensional entity was like, boom, and knocked it over?
And then they were like, ah, and the government can't tell us because they imagine the government came out and said there are interdimensional beings that view us negligibly like ants and sometimes cause catastrophes.
But if sometimes, every once in a while, you break the barrier and you can terrify the spirits, like you can control them, they're magnetically bound to your will.
If there is a multiverse, that would mean it is possible.
We don't dream, we view.
If every universe branches off from another possible universe and every probability creates a new universe, that would mean when you're having a weird dream, you're actually just peering into another reality.
So when you hear that breathing over your head, that's not just a dream, you are actually perceiving a universe where that is really occurring.
That was the first thing I thought was DMT because when I have experienced DMT, there was like a stereoscopic realm three dimensionally and things were behind me.
So when you were saying something was behind you in your space, that's a.
Cause, like, you know, like, I think, like, I'm in the shower, I'm thinking, I can hear my voice in my head talking, like, to, Thinking about things out loud.
So when people say they have an inner monologue, that also is a limited, like we talked about this when we were in Austin, that the people who can envision the apple.
Because like there's some people that can see like an apple and it's like, which you could at a base level, like call it high quality, like a 4K version of a high res.
Simultaneously in your mind, slicing it in half, smelling it, picking it up, visualizing, taking a bite, and tasting it, all of the senses around it.
Or also visualizing the apple rotating in 360, then being split into 128 individual slices that each then rotate themselves.
Then you imagine the apple itself decaying.
You see beyond this.
And then there's beyond that.
And that is while you were envisioning the apple spinning, being sliced into 128 different slices while aging, you're also hearing someone explain what is currently going on while a song is playing in the background and you're planning for the rest of your day.
So, the reason is in order to reach the highest potentiality, you have to be training for something from like zero and on to develop a.
It's not just about developing muscles to do something, it's about developing the muscular structures, the fast twitch muscles as you develop muscle memory.
But so, anyway, to the point here, the mainstream scientific view is people with no inner monologue or capabilities of visualization and audialization.
Let's go back to the point you were asking when I said the scientific view of it.
Let's do the spiritual view of it.
I actually think there's a possibility of this, that some people are more spiritually attuned, meaning whatever the Figurative third eye is that connects you to the infinity.
If you have a stronger third eye, you will conceptualize better, you will predict things better, you will be faster to think, you will hear thoughts.
Simply put, imagine if everybody has an antenna in their brain, some are weak and some are strong, and God is talking to you.
Those with very strong antennae are going to Seem smarter, but they just have a better connection to divinity.
Yeah, he was in the middle of it, he was going through it, right?
And he, when he was done, he remembered he said he envisioned, he had several entities like came to him.
One looked like Gengar, which is kind of funny.
It's a funny bit.
But the other one was like, it was like his, I think a family member that had passed away had like approached him and was like telling him to do a bunch of stuff.
And he came to the conclusion it was all demons.
Like these were evil spirits.
And he came out of it, he became a Catholic.
And now he's like a very strong practicing Catholic.
And this dude's like incredibly smart.
He didn't become like, A weirdo or anything is like one of the smarter friends I actually have, but um, I don't remember what exactly the point was with this, but like the essentially, like he tuned into this thing, or he claims he tuned into this thing, and like, yeah, he saw all these entities and they were like trying to convince him to do different things and change his life.
He came to the conclusion they were all like evil beings, actually.
He actually saw like evil stuff, he didn't have a good experience, but he became a Catholic out of it, he became like very religious out of it.
And you can, there's clearly like genetic predispositions to like certain types of religiosity too.
Like, if you look at the founding of the United States.
Where, if you look at like the Puritans, for example, they're like these hyper Calvinist types, but they have virtually they came from the same place in England, right?
They're English, ethnically English.
But then, if you looked back in England, all the Puritans left, came to America, and then all those Englishmen that were surrounding that area, right, in East Anglia and that sort of thing, had far lower levels of religiosity.
So, like, clearly, among certain tracts of people, there was an increase in religiosity.
There's a lot of like, this is like one of my pet issues, or not pet issues, like pet interests is like the different genetic predispositions to religiosity.
Because if you look at like Northern Europe, they were the last ones in on Christianity.
Like if you think about like the Nordic countries.
Last ones in on Christianity.
And they were the first ones out.
So the Reformation hits, it changes everything.
And then they were the first ones to just become widespread atheism.
So there's that kind of two things.
Is that just a purely cultural thing?
Or is it possible that that's just a genetic predetermination?
Because even a lot of the Nordic people who came to North America that settled in Canada, Minnesota, et cetera, they also have really high rates of atheism.
And so there is potentially just genetic predetermination.
No, atheists are, yeah, atheists are, I think, kind of silly because to claim that it doesn't exist, just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it's not really.
My issue with atheism is that, you know, when I was a teenager, I claimed to be an atheist.
And the reason why is it's not about not believing in God, it's about rejecting narrative God.
And when you try to explain, so I think it's an issue of order of thinking, which goes back to we're talking about the apples in essence.
So, and then we'll talk about Zorhan Mamdani a second because the order of thinking thing is a huge issue in politics.
But when I was younger, I grew up Catholic and they talked about God, and it was presented to me like a cartoon character.
They would make us watch videos where God was a cartoon figure with like a big beard or whatever.
They showed me a video where Adam was riding a brontosaurus from Adam and Eve and like Adam's on a brontosaurus.
And so I said, this is insane.
This is not real.
So then I said, I'm an atheist because I don't believe in.
The specific cartoon character they showed me in school.
Then I read some books, learned about quantum physics and theology, and I said, Oh, God is real.
But God isn't the cartoon character that they're trying to portray him to be.
He is something beyond.
I think Michael Knoll says it well when he says, God is the logos of the universe.
So, what I find typically when I talk to atheists is that their perception of what God is is a guy in a robe who lives in the clouds.
When you try to explain the concept of infinity itself, you run into an issue with orders of thinking where some people genuinely can't conceive of what infinity actually means.
People think infinity is a number, it is not a number.
It's substantially more than that.
And if you go to someone and you ask them what infinity means, they'll be like a number that never ends.
That's low ordered thinking.
It doesn't mean they're stupid.
You'd say, yes, but the true concept of infinity beyond that.
And they might say, I don't know.
Maybe they just need to be educated so they can learn and expand their minds, or maybe they're limited and they can never really understand.
I think there's a reason why you see, I would put it this way low IQ people who believe in God just do so because they can't see, they can't.
Understand cause and effect.
They just, there's a God.
It must be.
Midwit individuals start looking around for evidence and then say, if I see evidence of X, then I demand evidence of Y.
And if there is no evidence of God that I can perceive in this reality, God must not exist.
That's low ordered thinking.
At the highest levels, you look at it like a Sudoku puzzle and you say, you know, everything kind of adds up to there is a God.
But if God offends your modern sensibilities, just say infinity.
Yeah, I had started to have this vision in 2012 where I would visualize infinity.
I'd get fast, I'd be backing away from this flat plane, and it was like just a flat surface.
And I'd back away, and it would be getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
But as it was getting smaller and further away, it's getting bigger.
So I'm getting further away as it's getting bigger.
So it's not changing shape in my perception, but I know I'm getting further away and it's getting bigger.
At the same moment, and it like opens up something in my lower back brain just visualizing that, especially laying down and like kind of bending it up.
So I'll put it this way The presumption we can make is that our conscious entities are within the confines of existence in the universe, like any other chemical reaction or reality based phenomenon.
We know that things in the universe don't exist outside the universe, which means if you were to zoom out of the universe and view it in its totality like you would the Earth, consciousness is a percentage of existence.
We also can presume we are not the highest form of consciousness.
That would be arrogant and silly, considering on Earth we see scales of consciousness.
It was once believed that animals were either sentient or they weren't.
And in Star Trek, a great example is that data says my cat is not sentient.
We don't, science doesn't view it that way anymore.
They now see it as degrees.
You view it as a gradient.
Some animals have more acute perception and understanding of reality than others, and we have the highest that we know of on this planet.
To presume that we are the end of that would be silly, considering we can map all these brains and see these functions.
So, stands to reason, consciousness is a component of reality.
If we look at fire as something simple and the sun as something greater, but similar in many ways, and they're kind of different, you can then scale things up and see that.
Consciousness as a concept could scale to the size of the universe.
Likely is true.
I think that scale and that pattern and these things point to the existence of the logos of the universe.
Honestly, if your body was compressed and heated enough in a deoxygenated chamber, you would turn into plasma and it would still be you, but you'd be in a hyper liquid fluid state of plasmatic gas and sentience.
See, again, like to go to atheists, they imagine when you say God, there's like a dude holding a book who's like in the clouds, being like, I'm going to watch you.
And then when you try to explain to them quantum physics, E8 Lie groups, when you try to explain like M theory and these things we think we know and are probably wrong, they go, I don't know.
Because, like, if we're in a simulation and your mind is in massive control, like, that's meditation is the ultimate power because you can shut it down at will.
You have one nation praying for food, the other nation praying for food, and the fish aren't going to.
There's only so much food.
So, then what happens is the powerful elites who know.
This is true.
Say, how do we restore the ability to pray and receive?
We have to eliminate the ability for people to connect with the divine.
So they lie to us, they trick us, they deceive us, or they poison us, they damage our bodies.
The conspiracy theory is that they put fluoride in the water so it calcifies your pineal gland, which you need to perceive divinity, and then your prayers don't work anymore.
People start becoming atheists and they give up on religion, but the powerful elites still can just say, I would like to have a billion dollars and.
Well, we talked about like the kid with the ants and the dude with the food.
Think about it like there's some pigeons, you know, and they're walking around.
And, or actually, Sue Crow is a better example, right?
There's the guy who built that crow vending machine.
What he did was he built a machine and he put a bunch of nuts on the tray and coins.
Crows would land on the tray and eat the nuts.
Instinctively, what crows do when they finish all the food is they sweep the ground looking for more.
What this did was the crows would knock the coins into the hole, which would make nuts fall down.
The crows quickly learned if I put coins in the hole, nuts come down.
He then scattered coins around the base of the machine.
The crows would hop down, grab a coin, jump up, drop it in the hole, nuts would come down.
Once all the coins were in the machine, the crows would fly around the neighborhood looking for coins, bringing them to the vending machine.
This guy got crows to start making money for him, selling them nuts.
The crows don't understand what they're doing or why.
So imagine the powerful elites as the crow.
They start acting in ways that demons like.
And so the demons give them benefits.
These things could be slaughtering children.
Other people start catering to the angels and to the divine, doing things that God and the angels like.
And they get rewards too.
What if we just perceive it as they're worshiping Malak and sacrificing babies to demons, but it could be as simple as they're providing some benefit to a demon for which he's rewarding them as if they were just some lowly animal?
To be fair, I do think that, while I don't know that I believe like manifesting is a thing where you like sit there and ask and it happens, I will certainly say in my life, I've gotten what I've asked for.
To make these things happen, you've got to put yourself in a situation for them to happen.
You're never going to win the lottery if you don't play a lottery.
Oh, yeah, you've got to be ready.
You know, you're never going to find a partner if you're not out there, like, you know, If you haven't won the lottery, you're just going to keep going and going and going and going.
Well, I think if you're the provider, like if, and I love YouTube, but like if you're the YouTube, like you want people, the numbers there to perceive that people are using the platform as well.
Yeah, that's why people bought views is because it creates the idea of consensus, right?
Like if there's consensus, or at least if the masses are sort of endorsing it by saying, yeah, I sat and watched it, that indicates that there must be something of value here.
When's the last time you watched a video that has like 30 views?
You have, what's his name from Twitter is like cracking down on this where they want people to be, to disclose that they're being paid because you have a lot of these political influencers that are doing like, they're promoting policy positions or politicians and they're not disclosing like, oh, I'm being paid to say this.
Like, for example, if you were to pray for all the oceans turned into drinkable water so that we always have drinkable water, well, then you ruin the ecosystem.
Well, and you also have the thing at 11 11, when everyone's making a wish, that there's one guy out there saying, I pray that no one's wish comes true.
I think we unintentionally built a spoiler with electricity because it's so useful for getting food and these basic human monkey things, but it's messing up the third eye, like the frequency.
Well, I mean, if the entity, for example, and I'm just, this is, we're just playing around with here, but like if the entity, like in order for that to get that information, the exchange is, we want you to kill a child, we could argue that that is a bad deal.
From what I think Michael Malice told me that, from people that have told me over the years, the ones that ask you and propose things to you are the demons.
If a demon came to me, imagine this purple little goat legged creature going, I'm going to give you the lottery numbers in exchange for a Hershey's chocolate bar.
If a guy came by and knocked on the door and said, I have a million dollars for you and I'm going to buy it in exchange for that mallet you have on your desk, I'd be like, deal.
Like, if an angel came to you, like literally a divine entity, a gigantic wheel with full eyes and feathers or whatever, and it spoke from within your chest, telling you, stop doing drugs, start exercising, eat healthy.
There is technology that can put a helmet on your head and they can blast you with so much magnetism, you feel the presence of God.
Isn't that crazy?
They did this experiment.
They put a helmet on people with like super high magnetism, just blasted their brains, and they all said they felt the presence of some powerful entity.
They had like a quantum administration that was overseeing all these conventional AIs that built this super mind that's like a God talking to them and they can answer anything.
A podcast bro said there were men's jobs and women's jobs, and this woman's A double plus takedown beat all comers.
It all began with a think piece about the myth of the independent girl boss, which need not overly bother us here.
But it prompted this response.
Quote, cheap immigrant labor to do their cooking, cleaning, and childcare is a funny way of saying it's not men's job to cook, clean, and do childcare.
Funny how men can go to work and no one yells at them for hiring a landscaper, which in was.
That's what it says.
Which inn was picked up by someone called Timcast.
Someone called Timcast with 2.6 million followers.
Come on, stop being obtuse.
Who is not only the host of Timcast.
IRL and CF Timcast, but also presents the Culture War podcast.
The girl boss lifestyle would not exist if we're not massively subsidized.
Then she said, cheap immigrant labor, blah, blah.
I said, Helen is correct.
There are men's jobs and women's jobs.
Men work in sewers, manual labor, et cetera.
Women work in schools, hospitals, and service jobs.
My response is in no way disparaging to women at all.
Literally, just pointing out a thing that is true.
Across all cultures, especially in Scandinavia, when they created more laws to try and create gender equality, women still chose, at a higher degree, women's jobs.
That is, jobs that are more likely to be social.
And so then they're like, oh, she got him.
This person said, in what sewer do you work, Tim?
Podcasting, which I think we all agree is a sewer.
I claim they're, I think a better term would be masculine and feminine because some outlying women will do the heart, almost the hardest masculine jobs.
I'm saying that there are statistical facts that there are certain jobs that men do and there are certain jobs that women do.
And people who can't understand, it's not talking about them or any individual, are dumb.
When you then say, but they don't understand, and we go, that's literally the whole point of what we're saying, but you're arguing against us having already confirmed what we're saying.
Have you seen the per capita nukes where people just can't understand what per capita means?
Where, like, if you were to say, like, this happens all the time on Twitter, someone will say, like, you know, black people on average commit more violent crime.
And then someone says, Well, if you look at the amount of murders, white people commit more murders.
And it's like, Yeah, because it's a difference in percentage of the population.
Uh, let me, let me, let me pull up a tweet here that gets into all this.
I was talking about this earlier.
Let me find my friend, uh, Jess Margera.
We love you, Jess.
We love you.
He says this in response to a tweet.
Let me zoom in on it.
Cooper says, MAGA losing their minds over a New York City tax on personal residencies valued over five million aren't actively lived in is one of the most bizarre developments in this whole saga.
Jess responds, I've never seen a group of people enthusiastically support everything that either makes their lives even shittier or has basically zero importance in their lives before.
Then, when their lives get even shittier, they are confused and can't understand why this is happening.
I responded, lower ordered thinkers are confused while higher order thinkers are upset.
And he says, This is my new response ever.
Ha ha ha.
So I tried to explain it to him.
I'm going to overly simplify everything.
Pinotier tax, they're trying to pass it through.
They haven't actually got it through.
Kathy Ochles proposed it.
It's got to go through legislation.
It's going to put a tax on any property worth $5 million that's a secondary residence.
So there are contractors who probably have the year mapped out with building luxury properties.
They're now looking at this going, oh crap, we're about to see a major downturn.
Investors are not going to want to build because we are going to have to pay an annual fee.
It's going to reduce our ability to sell these properties.
Let's not do it.
That.
$70,000, $80,000 a year low level young guy contractor is now being told by his boss, I don't think we're going to be able to keep you on because our contracts are getting pulled.
He's mad.
He's mad you taxed the people that were funding investment into buildings.
He is not confused as to why he's mad.
Or how about the doorman who works at a building?
How about the restaurant?
A guy says, It's my dream to open a sports bar.
There's a development happening across the street for luxury properties.
We are going to have tons of business.
Then they announce this.
The investment firm puts a postponement on the development because they're not sure they want to invest $300 million in a building that people aren't going to want to buy.
So, this guy who's been working on his dream sports bar says the location is bad.
And the bank goes, We're not sure this location is going to work anymore because the investment property across the street isn't actually going to be opening.
And he goes, But I've been working on this for six months.
And they go, Listen, they're putting this tax through.
No one's going to want to buy these properties.
And you're going to have a restaurant in front of a dead piece of real estate.
We don't want to provide you the capital to do this.
Now he's mad.
And he was a firefighter who saved up because he really wanted to just do it.
These people are the epitome of arrogance, ignorance, lower ordered thinking, and an inability to think beyond step one.
He was like a moderate leaning Democrat in New Jersey.
He said, these people want to raise the minimum wage.
What they don't understand is these businesses can't absorb any of the costs.
So what happens is he's like, look, there's a small restaurant.
The owner probably makes $30,000 or $40,000 a year as the owner.
They've got maybe seven or eight employees, not a very big spot, small little restaurant.
You just told them they're legally required to increase all of the salaries by about 12%, or maybe like 8%.
They don't have a big savings and they have to immediately pay out more than they take in.
20% went out of business overnight.
They immediately responded with salary, wages, labor is the biggest cost we have.
And within the span of one month, we just jumped about 10% in that cost.
The owner goes, I'm only making 30 or 40,000 a year as it is.
Now I'm going to make 25,000 a year.
I quit.
They sell off the business, they sell off the property.
It gets absorbed by bigger business or shut down entirely.
And he was like, We lost a lot of money.
Now, the accounting firm just lost 20% of their income because the business went under.
And this was because they were raising the minimum wage.
I think it was by $1.50 in an increment of 75 cents and 75 cents.
They could not absorb the costs.
So they're gone.
He said, Some of the businesses sold out to larger conglomerates.
For example, not in this instance, but Starbucks might buy a small coffee shop and convert it.
And what ends up happening with these minimum wage increases, big businesses can absorb billions of dollars, small businesses can even absorb a few thousand.
This is what Democrats do.
Now, I think that the Democrats at the highest level are smart and they know what they're doing.
They are intentionally destroying small business.
And then I think their voters are really dumb and go, but we're going to get paid more.
You're going to get paid nothing when the business is gone.
People like Jess Margera, he's a low order thinker.
This is why he keeps ducking.
I invite him on the show over and over and over again, and he keeps making excuses why he can't come on the show.
Because he knows if he sits down, we can teach him and explain all of this to him.
But these people don't actually want to come in these spaces because they know they're wrong.
No, it's just like in New Jersey, for example, where they have like mandated pump attendance.
And there was a Clemson study when Oregon repealed that law because Oregon is the second to last state to have it, that it decreased prices by like four cents per gallon across the state.
New Jersey is the same thing where they actually have a lower density of gas stations, they have less gas stations because of the pump attendant law.
So, yeah, this happens all the time with like, well, we're creating like three new jobs for a gas station.
That's why we need to keep this in place because it's creating jobs, but they have less gas stations now.
And then you have to think about all the additional jobs that would come with a gas station, not just the attendants that work inside it, but then in addition to that, more deliveries that increases like, you know, the local economy for delivery.
So it's like you have examples of this all the time, but people just get fixated on one talking point.
The point is when a guy with $100 million says, let's build a, let's create a 30 story construct with, you know, two units per floor or whatever, no one is harmed by that.
People get jobs.
The local businesses get new customers.
People who choose to invest and live in that property because they can will.
If you don't build it, who's going to invest the $100 million for five units per floor, 30 floors for lower income people?
Well, if you extrapolate to different levels, higher ordered thinking about potential harms that could come from like, An AI corporation building everyone's housing to control them with smart houses.
Ordered thinking does not mean if I move my pawn forward, the knight could take it.
Ordered thinking means what is a pawn?
What is a knight?
If you can't conceive of things beyond your impulses, the lowest order of thinking is impulse.
Animals act on impulse.
Most humans, I think, operate, the academic view is around between three and five.
And I think there's like 12 orders of thinking.
The final order of thinking is being able to visualize and conceptualize infinity, understanding multiversal probabilities, outcomes, quantum states, things like that.
Most people only exist between the What's my plan for the day?
Elon Musk tweets Universal high income via checks issued by the federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI and robotics will produce goods and services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
I think Elon needs to have a debate about this one because while on the surface, it's possible that he has found a circuitous method by which he could succeed in this, I should say, when you go to the granular, on the surface, what he's describing is impossible.
I don't know because we talked about this last night.
I do.
My first thought was if we have a net input of energy, then we could feed the system and then that would be enough left over to produce a basic income.
Wouldn't, wouldn't like, and maybe I'm wrong here, but like if the government were going to say, look, we're going to get a good chunk of the People in America a flat thousand dollars.
If I'm a landlord and I own a bunch of property, wouldn't I just be like, I'm gonna raise rent?
So the landlord who does work maintaining the property, who now has to work for his money, says, I would like to make more money than baseline, so I'm gonna charge more for the work that I do.
Simply put, another simple way to put it why Elon is wrong, why UBI is wrong.
I need someone to vacuum my floors, right?
Someone's got to do it.
I don't have time.
I'm doing production, not hard to do.
So I go to some random guy and say, Hey, buddy, would you like money to vacuum my floors?
And he goes, How much?
And I said, I'll give you 50 bucks.
And he goes, Nah.
I'm like, You don't want it?
He's like, I get 800 bucks for free for every month anyway.
Well, now we got to raise prices on everything because the baseline of labor has just skyrocketed.
No one needs to do the work for the essentials.
It's only now vanity.
So, to get a guy off the couch who's watching, you know, reruns of ridiculousness, remembering the glory days, he says, listen, I don't need to do it, so I'm not going to.
You got to make it worth my while.
The point is leverage.
Now, it is, it does suck when the economy is bad and leverage for businesses is high.
The average worker says, I have no choice but to work.
Really, really hard.
And we want to find that happy medium.
But if you remove all leverage from businesses, the only result is absolute collapse.
It's just going to collapse because here's what happens I go, okay, fine.
I'll give you 200 bucks to vacuum the carpets because someone has to do it.
I then raise the prices in my store to accommodate the $200 vacuuming.
Next month, the guy who makes $10,000 walks into the grocery store and finds that the apple now costs $5.
And he goes, Ooh, what's going on, man?
I can't afford anything now.
This money's not enough.
So then the communists all go, rabble, rabble, rabble.
And the government goes, OK, we're doubling your monthly stipends.
Then the guy comes to me and says, Listen, apples are $5 now.
$200 don't cut it for me to vacuum your floors.
I need $400.
I go, $400.
Hyperinflation.
Elon is not correct about this when he says AN robotics will produce goods and services far in excess.
The only way that's possible is if you own nothing and one big corporation does all the production.
And then the question is maintaining the robots, there is going to be human labor required.
We are not going to replicate our futures.
So long as human labor is required, this inflation will exist and the government will not be able to produce enough grease for the economic wheels so that individuals who don't produce anything get access to resources.
Again, if he says there won't be inflation, I'm telling you that the average person does not need or want flat goods and services.
There will be people who want more.
So businesses will still exist.
Elon's argument is that everyone stops doing business, stops doing work, and robots do 100%, and we sit around and just watch movies all day.
But the moment someone says, No, I always wanted to own my own store, that person's going to need a service done by someone who's not a robot.
While robots can do most of it, they can't do all of it.
That service is going to be an insane amount of money.
Let's say that robots are vacuuming, stocking, Doing all the farm work.
The unfortunate reality to nature is that some people have to do hard work more than others.
So when you get into a UBI system, here's what happens right now with UBI people need to do farm work.
We need food.
If they give, if the government prints money and gives a bunch of hippie dippy hipsters in Brooklyn 10 grand per year, and they say, I'm going to do nothing and sit around and just live off it.
The farmer goes, Why do I have to work?
How is it fair?
This is what every communist system has always done.
Some people graduate to the political class where they don't got to do anything.
And then the other people are complaining, why are we working?
You're stealing from us.
And Animal Farm made a great example of this.
The chickens had their eggs taken and sold off.
And when the chickens complained, they were executed.
You go to the average person and say, if you don't work, you will get $10,000 per year.
You can do whatever you want all day, every day.
You can live wherever you want.
You can live in the wilderness.
You can live on the beach, whatever.
Or you can get a job and work 40 hours per week and make an extra $15,000 per year.
Do you know what 80% of people choose?
I'd rather just take the minimum but not have to work because my time is more valuable.
Every lesson we have ever been taught is that time is worth more than money.
If you go to the average person who would work at a Taco Bell, which I love, they're going to say, listen, The choice between working 40 hours and not having to work but still having money, I take time every choice I'm offered.
And then you think, because I was visualizing the future you're describing, and that people would become like purposeless and destitute, and then they would just analyze each other.
There is going to be a period of riot and violence between the point of total automation and industrialization where we are now.
We are in the industrialized era.
We have machines that do a lot of the labor, but jumping to the total automation is a quantum leap compared to what the industrialization leap was.
If you have all work done by machines, there is still the problem of environmental equilibrium.
The robots will only be able.
Let me do it this way.
Do it this way.
You have a jar, it has one bacteria in it.
The bacteria doubles.
Now there's two.
Then it doubles.
Now there's four.
Four little bacteria in this big jar.
Then it doubles.
There's eight.
Then 16.
Then 32.
Then 64.
Then 120.
Then 256.
So on and so forth.
5, 12.
10, 28.
So then, 10, 24.
Sorry.
Geez, look at me.
So with every minute, it doubles.
For the first few minutes, it's fine.
Eventually, the jar is full.
In the next minute, it is going to double again and require another full jar.
We do not have that's equilibrium.
What Elon Musk is describing is a society where people will rapidly consume, have children, get fat, and they will overpopulate so rapidly, we will run out of resources and reach equilibrium where it's automated, but you're starving.
In which case, the argument would be AI and robotics would have to self advance so rapidly, we would get FTL travel to be able to colonize other planets.
Because.
We would have to be able to send 8 billion people every 20 years off of Earth to a new colony.
Okay, 4 billion, actually, 4 billion.
The presumption is if everybody reproduces at two, we go from 8 billion to 16 billion, you got to get those people off the planet.
But we're not, we're around one.
So you need to maintain population.
We would need to be able to space lift a billion plus people every five, 10 years, sending them to new colonies, and it would only be getting faster and faster and faster.
We got to grab your comments from the Discord, so guys, get your questions in right now as we carry on the conversation, but ask away and we will get those questions in.
So, the first, the US military began developing AI in the 70s.
This is when they first started building artificial intelligence.
So, imagine where they're at now.
Let's see.
I think, I don't know if there's a question, but let's read it anyway from Avide.
Let's say universal basic income could become a system where financial survival is controlled by centralized authorities rather than earned independently.
If income is guaranteed and distributed by a central system, What's stopping that system from eventually conditioning access to money based on behavior, compliance, and ideology?
Because you're going to get one spoiler who's going to get in government, supposed to be administrating it, is going to say, I don't like white people, so we're going to take that away from them.
And I'm not counter signaling this, but I'd heard stories, and I don't know if this is true, where people's global entry access was revoked because they were protesting.
If you're seen talking against the government, you lose a, like a score.
There's like a score system.
And there's some people that are so bad they can't access, Like, for example, I think they use, like, what, WeChat in order to pay, to look at menus, to participate in different things.
And all of a sudden, you can't make a WeChat account.
You can't pay for things.
If you can't pay for things, you're living on the street.
Yeah, I mean, we saw on the micro level, like at J6, you were hearing from people that were like literally on the lawn and they were getting trouble through going through TSA, getting pulled for a lot of checks.
And it's like the little stuff that they started to convenience you, it snowballs.
I don't know if you guys like do a lot of solo videos.
Like, I always found it gets aggravating after a while when you're just alone in a room talking about your ideas and to have people around you like challenging you.
Well, the issue we have is again, with all due respect to Kyla, the key moment of contention was when I pulled up a news story where Kathy Hochul says we need to get back the wealthy from Palm Beach.
And she said that didn't happen.
And then I was confused.
The story is right here.
And she goes, That's a New York Post.
It's not a trustworthy source.
And I said, Okay.
Pulled up a bunch of sources showing the wealthy were leaving New York.
She pulled up a general study through, I think, ChatGPT that said on average only about 2% of wealthy people leave.
The conversation wasn't occurring.
She was saying it's fake news and Kathy Oakley is wrong.
And I'm saying the city's own statistics show it happened.
Well, I was going to say it's ironic because, like, you know, the left wing demands orthodoxy.
There's no heterodoxy permitted.
And that actually ironically leads to stronger governance in the sense of they are able to be more all encompassing, more smothering because they're all aligned.
We look at the Trump administration and they're having to operate without the, you know, without the approval of, Large swaths of sort of this broader right wing because like orthodoxy is not at all demanded.
If anything, people go, I love that there's diversity.
All right, we got this from Serge X. Question for everyone If there are reportedly 10 scientists who've gone missing or died under suspicious circumstances after allegedly working on UFO UAP reverse engineering programs, why is Bob Lazar still alive, healthy, and freely talking about it 35 years later?
Doesn't that strongly suggest he might be lying or at the very least that the they kill anyone who talks narrative doesn't hold up?
So feminism results in lesser availability for women.
So here's what happens.
Let me first start by saying equal rights under the law for men and women, totally fine.
First wave feminism, you know, not a big deal.
But it does precipitate the next degrees.
When women in the 70s started entering the workplace, women's focus before this tended to be social.
So in the 50s, women were giggling with each other about who they were going to marry, how their kids were doing, and the family was a central focus in social status for women.
When women entered the workplace, being the boss was social status, which resulted in a population decrease.
This then Results in Democrats opening the borders to supplement our falling population.
So I would argue that women always had jobs, but they did jobs that were easier for women and didn't interfere with social order.
Women now striving to try and own and run companies to a degree I'm totally fine with, but as a society, encouraging all women to do that no matter what results in women not prioritizing family, and women have always prioritized family more.
Did you know that the reason why babies say dada before mama? Is because babies spend more time with mama.
What does that mean?
Mama isn't staring at the baby going, I'm mama nonstop.
The tooth one is the after the fact joke because you don't want to go to a dentist who's got decaying bad teeth because it means he's not taking care of his teeth.
It means he doesn't know how to take care of his own teeth.
