R.R. Majewski joins us on the show to talk about the latest on the Kennedy vs. Biden race, the Israeli conflict with the Palestinians, and the possibility of U.S. troops being deployed to the Gaza Strip.
00:00:42.000So, hey, maybe it all just goes belly up and this becomes another big mess where the United States ends up losing another war.
00:00:51.000Because, uh, you know, we backed Ukraine and they lost, and Afghanistan and Iraq are disasters, and oh boy, we can go back in time, but here we are.

00:02:40.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and a lot more is J.R.
00:05:54.000I'm thinking about Vietnam, because I saw that word peacekeeper, and I remember they started off the Vietnam surge of troops by calling them advisors.
00:06:02.000So there wasn't really a war, wasn't even really considered a military expedition in the 50s.
00:06:06.000I think it was the late 50s when they started sending their advisors over there.
00:06:10.000And, you know, it just scaled from there.
00:06:15.000Oh, and I also think that if there's one, if they get all the hostages out, but then there's one left, they'll use that as a reason to send 10,000 guys in, because they just want to conquer the place.
00:06:26.000They'll just say, oh, there's still 10 Americans whose identities are being remained secret, private, because of the risk to their family, and gotta send in the troops!
00:06:39.000I hope None of this happens, but it seems like they're doing these things so that they slowly introduce you into the idea that there will be troops in Gaza.
00:06:49.000Because, uh, does anybody remember the exact date when the U.S.
00:06:52.000announced that they were declaring war on Syria and sending troops into Syria?
00:07:03.000At first, it was like, there are no troops in Syria.
00:07:05.000And then like, oh, we actually have bases there now.
00:07:07.000Yeah, they started as we're just sending them to help with something.
00:07:10.000It's sort of almost a humanitarian effort that we sent our military to take care of.
00:07:14.000And then it just escalates to being like, well, we need to always have a presence there because without without us, what would they do?
00:07:19.000I mean, this is the thing that bothers me the most about the way the American government leans on its military, which is to say we can send troops to all kinds of places across the world, but we do not send them to the border, which protects our own citizens.
00:07:40.000And you know, that's why I'm saying I see all these like, there's like Gen Z videos on TikTok where they're like, we should have free education and free health care and we're spending money.
00:07:48.000Or the funny thing is you get this young woman and she's a communist and she's like, Society, like, the current generation is suffering, the economy is terrible, we're living paycheck to paycheck, when we could be having free healthcare and free college, and I'm like, here we go, and then she goes, but instead we're spending it all on the military-industrial complex, and I'm like, deal.
00:08:07.000If we stop funding blowing up kids in foreign countries, and then we apply whatever money is left from that into, like, giving medical care to people, like, deal left!
00:08:17.000You can have that if we all agree to stop doing this.
00:08:21.000The establishment is like, let's stress the American people by blowing up kids, as many kids as possible around the world, till they beg us.
00:08:29.000We will give you authoritarian control if you stop blowing it.
00:08:32.000That is actually a technocratic tactic.
00:08:33.000They want to give us war weariness until we'll say please give us anything but war, including putting people into pods and medicating them.
00:09:14.000Yeah, and so, I mean, right, over a long enough period of time, if, like, let's say Hannah-Claire and Ian are throwing snowballs at each other, and then I'm making snowballs and handing them to Ian, Hannah-Claire's gonna be like, dude, you're both fighting me.
00:09:33.000And meanwhile, like, last night, there was a viral clip of a veteran that was crying, sitting in his car, talking about the fact that, you know, the VA was... VA health benefits, right?
00:09:43.000I mean, we have veterans here that, you know, there's an increasing rise on veteran suicides and their mental health and the care that they receive from the VA.
00:10:25.000There are mid-level manager type families that live in these wealthy areas, and their families are all getting in government, and they hate you.
00:10:32.000They use your children as cannon fodder, and then, what do you get?
00:10:36.000Your sons and daughters coming back to this country, and they're told to go F themselves, left to cry in their cars because they can't get any medical care.
00:10:45.000And then, they take more of your money and your labor, and they go blow up kids with it.
00:10:50.000I mean, I've never seen a president campaign on, I will fix the VA.
00:10:54.000The VA historically has all kinds of administrative problems, but it's just sort of like, oh, I love the troops, see you guys when I see ya, even though we offer this healthcare system that is always fundamentally broken, right?
00:11:05.000I've never heard of a veteran who doesn't eventually have an issue along the way.
00:11:09.000saying that there aren't VA doctors, VA systems that are trying their best, it's just incredibly
00:11:13.000difficult. I don't understand why we don't hear more about fixing our own domestic support systems
00:11:18.000rather than constantly saying, well, we've got to have this presence on the geopolitical stage.
00:11:23.000Like, why? I'd rather be present in our own nation. I get when Ben Shapiro comes out and he says,
00:11:29.000here is my argument for war, like not for war, but like why war is happening.
00:12:02.000I don't know which one is more likely to happen, but the U.S.
00:12:05.000sending troops into Gaza sounds like you're going to get, I don't know, Houthi rebels in Yemen and Iranian-backed militias directly attacking Israeli-like territory.
00:14:12.000Because they started seeing these memes and then they kept seeing them over and over and over again as they're supposed to be policing and banning these stories.
00:14:18.000They end up seeing a whole bunch of stories and then eventually they're like, Trump's right.
00:14:21.000And so I'm just hoping that, you know, like Hezbollah and Hamas, they send in these, and Iran, they send these sleeper cells into the United States 20 years ago.
00:14:29.000And then they're like, they show up and cross the border and they're like, when our time comes, the infidels will pay.
00:14:34.000And now it's like 20 years later and they're morbidly obese and on TikTok and they're going to pride parades and stuff.
00:14:47.000I wouldn't be surprised that it does happen sometimes.
00:14:49.000And to segue on that, you know, I remember seeing that story.
00:14:53.000And one of the things that I took away was that the Facebook people that were monitoring these nasty memes or whatever, they were seeing all this traumatizing footage.
00:15:02.000They're getting better medical care and mental health care than our troops, right?
00:15:13.000I've never sought VA benefits after the service.
00:15:17.000I probably could for certain things, but I just never did.
00:15:19.000I just always felt like there's guys and women that were worse off than me.
00:15:24.000But I do have some friends that work for the Veterans Administration, and I can tell you that You know, they communicated to me and from veteran friends.
00:15:30.000There was a pretty distinct difference when Trump was in office because he broke the bureaucracy.
00:15:35.000He actually created a mechanism in which the VA doctors could be held accountable.
00:15:40.000And before it was kind of like the Fauci thing, you know, he can do whatever he wants, he's not an elected official, so on and so forth.
00:15:46.000And, you know, Trump came in and changed that paradigm and a lot of veterans were getting better service.
00:15:51.000But, you know, with Biden now, I mean, I'm And he reverted everything within days of being in office.
00:15:57.000Do we need a private company to rival the VA and do it better?
00:16:22.000I don't think that's necessarily bad, right, to have alternative ways to intervene.
00:16:28.000I just think the issue is when, you know, you're being told, we don't know when we can see you, we have crazy delays or programs where if you come, you know, you have to be shipped to a different VA to have some sort of treatment and then you don't have the support in that area.
00:16:41.000It's not that any medical system in the U.S.
00:16:44.000is so great, but in this case, one of the things that especially young men in America are told is if you sign up and serve, you will have this resource for a long time.
00:16:55.000And we know the VA is okay with offering veterans children's hormones, but they can't always get counselors in place for veterans who need it for PTSD treatment.
00:17:03.000I mean, the priorities of the VA seem very strange to me.
00:17:07.000And again, I want to believe in good faith that there are people who are really trying to do as much as they can, and that the bureaucracy is holding them back.
00:17:48.000And then he explains that like humans evolve eating like he's playing the paleo diet, basically.
00:17:52.000But to shift that to your point, Ian, humans did not develop over thousands of years seeing like dozens of people get limbs blown off all in an instant.
00:18:28.000I still feel it in my gut when I think about it.
00:18:31.000I had a buddy that, to your point too, when you come out of the military, you're used to a community of structure and camaraderie.
00:18:40.000And a lot of these veterans just want support.
00:18:42.000They just want to have an outlet that isn't their family.
00:18:46.000So they're not placing this emotional burden on them.
00:18:49.000And, you know, to some of these, you know, holistic treatment types, I have a friend, Nick, Nick Matson, who's a double Purple Heart recipient, burnt over like 90% of his body.
00:19:01.000I just posted a thing about him on Twitter today.
00:19:04.000And this guy, you know, struggled with the VA for years, was terrified to come out of his home.
00:19:09.000He had so much trauma from a PTSD standpoint, but the guy found his way.
00:19:13.000And, you know, he's doing great today, but, you know, just seeing the things that he had to go through, it's just, it's horrific.
00:19:21.000If the American public understood some of the things these veterans are going through and in exchange for what they're asking for, I mean, this is an easy decision.
00:19:30.000I wonder if we should have, maybe like, what's a good age?
00:19:52.000The idea that we got to shelter our kids from the harsh realities of war means they grow up completely oblivious to it and then vote for it because they have no idea.
00:20:01.000But imagine if there was a young kid Who actually witnessed something, you know, like the challenge is you don't want to break, you want to make.
00:20:10.000And you never know if you're going to make or break someone with something, but there's too many people who don't understand what they're voting for when they vote for war, when they celebrate war.
00:20:19.000And they're volunteering you all to go and do it, not them.
00:20:42.000Yeah, they're pulling people off trains.
00:20:45.000Apparently, there'll be like a 50-something year old guy in a train, and they'll walk in and grab him, and be like, nope, front line.
00:20:48.000And they just send him right to the front line, hand him a gun, and say, good luck.
00:20:51.000So I'm with you on exposing people to the horror ahead of time, but then I also still want people to volunteer for the military because we need domestic defense.
00:20:58.000And I think, I'm not sure what you think, maybe the balance is.
00:21:13.000They say, work on campaigns to save the forests or whatever.
00:21:16.000And then what happens is when you come in for the interview, they say, oh, you know, you'll be filling out forms and talking to people about what you believe.
00:21:23.000And they go, okay, then you bring in for another meeting.
00:21:25.000And then they finally land on You're gonna be asking people for money?
00:21:30.000And they're like, the reason we do this is because if we tell people what the job is, they won't show up.
00:21:35.000And I'm like, so you think it makes more sense for me to interview 50 people of which 49 leave instead of just waiting for the one guy to show up who wants to do the job?
00:21:47.000And so, that's my view with, you know, with the military in this regard.
00:21:51.000Obviously, you don't want to shock young people in horrifying ways, but they do need to be aware of what it really means to be, you know, to be in the armed forces, to be combat infantry, and what it means to vote for it, and then perhaps the people who volunteer, the people who truly understand what they're signing up for.
00:22:09.000Yeah, I mean, I feel this would be the most helpful in high schools in blue areas, right?
00:22:14.000I mean, in my personal experience, you know, I grew up in Connecticut, Blue State.
00:22:18.000My brother enlisted in high school to be in the Marine Corps, and his high school fought him tooth and nail the entire way.
00:22:23.000He was 18 all of his senior year, so he could be enlisted, but they were like, no, don't you want to go to college?
00:22:31.000No military family members themselves, maybe their grandfathers, but there's no actual connection to it.
00:22:36.000And so there is a idea that that's for someone else to do.
00:22:40.000That's not for me, that's not my experience.
00:22:42.000And again, this is an issue I feel very strongly about, but in addition to the combat, in addition to the physical labor that goes into the military, in addition to the impact it has on the family if you choose to get married and get shipped around the U.S., I mean, it's a really serious sacrifice.
00:22:57.000The other part is that we don't transition people out of the military very effectively.
00:23:00.000So we don't offer career counseling in a way that people can really say, this is what I did in the military.
00:23:03.000This is what it looks like in the civilian world.
00:23:05.000It's a system that we both depend on and are willing to send other people to go fight.
00:23:10.000But when people are here domestically, we don't think about them.
00:23:13.000I wonder if a lot of the problems of wokeness and communism and, you know, far left ideology could just be solved by exposing young people to the realities of life.
00:23:24.000You know, when I see these videos and they're like, we should have free education and free healthcare, I'm like, this person's never had a job.
00:23:30.000When they're like, you know there's more empty houses than homeless people, we could house and feed every homeless person, I'm like, this person's never worked with the homeless and they've never owned a house.
00:23:39.000So, let's expose young people to the realities of life and then have them be like, oh, I was wrong.
00:23:47.000And I think there are young people who grew up and, you know, the reality is it's typically children, teenagers that are growing up in more impoverished, more blue collar areas who have to see what their parents are going through.
00:23:58.000They're living in a circumstance where they are exposed earlier.
00:24:01.000It's the and this is not to be mean to them, but it's it's the upper middle class to wealthy teenagers in America who are in super progressive schools, especially super progressive private schools, Who then go on to say, I know better than everyone else on the face of the earth because I know who's oppressed and I know what the word colonizer means that I support that group.
00:25:07.000It's about The failures of the economy and they roast the they roast communists.
00:25:13.000So so well Anyway, it's the color revolution man, but you know back to what I was saying with with being blue-collar, right?
00:25:21.000You're not having a choice when I got out of the you know out of high school What path was I going to take you know?
00:25:26.000I had a very strict Really strict father and military just became clear as my only choice and absolutely love the country I've always been patriotic and you know, it seemed like this was my path at least four years I could start off somewhere and you know Growing up watching my dad work 12 16 hour shifts every day coming home couldn't coach the baseball team You know things like that, you know, it it really had an impact on me So, you know after the military, you know, my dad and I couldn't sit in the same room and not agree that these walls are gray
00:25:58.000You know, but after the service, coming home, had a proud dad, you know, became really good friends and, you know, the military, you know, changed my life.
00:26:05.000But to your point, Tim, if I would have known about certain things at an earlier age, I would have made different life decisions.
00:26:10.000But yeah, I think college has become a lot more of a scam since the Internet, because before it was a good place to go congregate with geniuses and learn about data.
00:26:28.000You know, the argument I often would hear from people back in the day about college is, it's where you go to congregate with other like-minded individuals and work on ideas.
00:26:36.000And I'm like, but I've been doing that my whole life.
00:26:38.000And then you look at, without naming any of these individuals, there are certain people would call them prodigies.
00:26:44.000You know, young people who were in certain fields succeeding at early ages, but the reality was, these people would go out, they were online when they were like 12 or 13, and they were in physics forums, talking with physicists, and then people were like, wait a minute, this kid's 15?
00:26:58.000The person who was helping us theorize these things is a kid?
00:27:04.000In this space and exposed to it and contributed the guy who built and developed Minds.com the company that I co-founded with Bill Ottman seems Mark Harding He's the CEO and he was 17 when he started building it, but he just learned it all online You just look copy paste read the data.
00:27:20.000This is means that this means that and he just I think universities made sense when they were about getting people in places to discuss ideas and advance academic knowledge.
00:27:36.000It's the American university system where you're having assignments to turn in every week or stuff like that.
00:27:41.000That was not how these institutions were founded.
00:27:43.000You're supposed to come up with a thesis that you work on for four years and that's all you do.
00:27:46.000And now we have general education classes and this, that, and the other, and it's ultimately all to make money.
00:27:52.000with especially government-backed student loans that they still issue even though we know it's setting up millions of students every year for complete financial ruin.
00:28:01.000And so ultimately it's marketing this idea that you will get a better job, you'll have something else because of the degree, but the degree doesn't actually make you a better thinker.
00:28:10.000It just tells you that you can comply with the rules set out for you, which I don't personally think is a value that I want to instill.
00:28:17.000So the South Park Pandiverse episode that everyone's been talking about, it's marketed as the characters are replaced by diverse women.
00:28:23.000you should be expanding your intellectual curiosity and pursuing your interests.
00:28:27.000And that's not what happens in the universities anymore.
00:28:29.000So the South Park Pandiverse episode that everyone's been talking about,
00:28:33.000it's marketed as the characters are replaced by diverse women.
00:28:37.000So Cartman is a black woman now, but there's an A story and a B story.
00:28:41.000And the B story is that no one knows how to do anything.
00:28:44.000And so Randy Marsh, Stan's dad, the stove breaks.
00:28:47.000And he's like, I'm gonna show you kids how to fix the stove, the stove door.
00:28:50.000So he calls the handyman and then the handyman's like, well, I'm going to have to come back later.
00:28:54.000You're, you know, the, the, the screws are stripped.
00:28:56.000And he's like, wait, I'll pay you more money to stay and fix it now.
00:28:58.000And he goes, ah, someone already paid me more money to go fix theirs now.
00:29:01.000So what happens is all the, all the handyman ended up becoming billionaires.
00:29:05.000And then when none of the regular people can get their light bulbs fixed or their power outlets fixed or anything fixed, they start blaming the billionaires because the handymen are all billionaires.
00:29:16.000And then they start holding up, we are the 99% signs.
00:30:00.000Maybe books if you have access to them, if you're lucky, and maybe you had one, and there's still a library standing.
00:30:04.000Well, so that was a funny part of the show, is that they basically, spoiler alerts I guess, they're just like, the real problem was college.
00:30:11.000Randy's like, if I didn't spend eight years getting a PhD in geology, I'd know how to actually fix things and do work!
00:30:18.000And so they go and start protesting the colleges, it's good, it's really good.
00:30:21.000Well, I'm like, what do you want out of life, right?
00:30:23.000If you want to make a certain amount of money so you can have a career you like and then also pursue your interests and, you know, start new businesses or travel or whatever else, going to college doesn't actually make sense.
00:30:33.000You're going to massive amount of debts.
00:30:35.000You don't have the guarantee of a job.
00:32:07.000And this is what I would say to a lot of people I knew in their mid-twenties or whatever.
00:32:10.000They're like, I went to college and I'm doing all right.
00:32:12.000And I'm like, look, man, I'm not trying to be a dick to you, but you're a shift supervisor at a Starbucks making $15 an hour and you're 25.
00:32:32.000You know, it's like you don't want to be a dick to someone who's like, I think I'm doing all right, because you want to cheer them on.
00:32:36.000But it's like, look, man, we can't keep encouraging people to stunt their lives by going to college instead of learning how to actually work in ways that can benefit their fellow man.
00:32:48.000And that's the thing that I think American high schools get wrong, which is that they they use the statistics of how many people matriculate to college to say that we are a really good high school.
00:32:56.000But that's a bad that's a bad statistic.
00:32:58.000You might as well say our graduating class is entering multi-million dollars worth of debt.
00:33:02.000Do you think we are a good high school?
00:33:04.000That would be a more accurate way of representing what they think students can accomplish.
00:33:07.000It's making me think of a question for you, JR, about knowing how valuable trades are and the ability to build.
00:33:13.000You were project management for energy companies, or at least one in particular.
00:33:17.000For First Energy, you developed, you know, you're saying a campus at one point, or you've designed.
00:33:22.000What made you decide to pivot away from that into politics?
00:33:24.000Well, it kind of goes back to where I started.
00:33:27.000So I started in the union at the power plants, and the barrier to management for me was a degree.
00:33:32.000It was a prerequisite in the power industry.
00:33:35.000So I ended up finishing my master's degree.
00:33:37.000I was a really hard worker, and I caught the attention of the site vice president when Davis-Bessey Nuclear Power Plant in Ohio had the reactor head incident.
00:33:45.000And, you know, I just was a hardware and a lot of it comes from what Tim saying, right?
00:33:50.000You apply your hard work ethic, but then you supplement that with the knowledge that you gain from college.
00:33:59.000So, you know, The pivot for me, though, to politics was COVID.
00:34:04.000I was traveling the country 200 some days a year.
00:34:07.000I was working at different nuclear reactors across the country, and COVID had me working out of a home office, and I became politically active because of Donald Trump.
00:34:15.000My dad was a lifelong Democrat, and he was a huge Donald Trump fan, and he talked me into paying more attention to Trump, and I did.
00:34:25.000The long story short is in 2020, a veterans group and I that I support, I painted the Trump 2020 logo on my big, big yard on Lake Erie and it went viral.
00:34:36.000I was on Fox and Friends and then I got a call from President Trump.
00:34:43.000And I ended up developing a decent Twitter following for a guy from Northwest Ohio.
00:34:49.000And when I watched what happened during the 2020 election, and I watched what was going on in my district, you know, 40-year Democratic incumbent doing nothing for us, I decided that I was going to use the political capital that I gained and just shake some trees.
00:35:17.000I beat two elected officials, state elected officials, absolutely demolished them.
00:35:21.000And I was on my way to running the general election.
00:35:23.000So the pivot for me was just becoming aware of what was going on in American politics and knowing that I grew up in poverty, I grew up in a struggle, and what I was seeing happening by these oligarchs and these wealthy folks, it just didn't make sense.
00:37:55.000I'm talking about moderate, independent types.
00:37:58.000I don't see them being like, oh, vote for Kennedy instead of Trump.
00:38:01.000Some maybe, but it's mostly going to be Democrats who think Biden can't win and that Biden is horrible, he's corrupt, he's a warmonger, and they're going to vote for Kennedy.
00:38:12.000I think Biden's doing all the work for these other candidates right now.
00:38:17.000In my district in Ohio, it's highly independent, and I see a huge swing for voters driving towards Trump just because of what he's standing for and the fact that he's getting attacked so terribly.
00:38:29.000They're seeing the reality of politics right now.
00:38:32.000I heard a Biden speech from, I guess, four years ago.
00:38:35.000And man, he sounded clear, like a normal guy.
00:38:38.000And now when you listen to him, it is freakish.
00:39:11.000I've seen THC consume amyloid plaque, which is the cause of Alzheimer's, in a microscope.
00:39:16.000I'd have to continue to look for more data to back that up, but I believe I've seen that.
00:39:20.000Also, I hear psilocybin helps people in older age.
00:39:22.000There might be in the future, but right now, we have very little, if any way at all, to slow or stop these progressive degenerative diseases.
00:39:33.000Yeah, I mean, maybe there's something, and maybe if we're testing them, you know, experimental treatments, you know, giving us an option in the VA, maybe, you know, Biden can have a chance to try this out, but realistically, in the next year, he is not going to suddenly improve, considering we've seen a consistent decline in the last three years.
00:39:48.000So, if he walked into a chamber, and it would close, Yeah, what's the story now?
00:40:30.000Because it's like, yo, if we're really gonna about to spark a war in the Middle East or like jump into the fire over there, we better have closed borders.
00:40:37.000I mean, at this point... That would make sense, yes!
00:40:40.000If you were in a dangerous neighborhood, I've said this a hundred times on the show, but if you were in a dangerous neighborhood, you would lock your own front door and instead we're like, no, it's fine.
00:40:51.000If you're going to throw a flaming bag of feces at your neighbor's house, You're going to also lock your doors because your neighbor is going to get mad at you.
00:41:01.000Now I'm not... I guess I can technically say the US is basically doing this because we shouldn't be involved in this stuff anyway.
00:41:06.000But the US getting involved in all of these conflicts and leaving the back door open...
00:41:50.000Didn't we have the Chinese military was caught practicing some drill or performing military drills in Canada last year, if I'm not mistaken?
00:42:35.000The reality is they are competing with us in a lot of ways that we should be the best at.
00:42:43.000And I don't literally mean putting hot dogs in pizza.
00:42:45.000It's just that we're giving up our manufacturing.
00:42:47.000Only now in the past several years seem to have realized that we've given up the industry and manufacturing we need to maintain an economy.
00:42:54.000And now you're seeing China's, they're cranking away.
00:43:34.000Well I think you can use, you can put this stuff in with like carbonized steel if you're gonna make it and make it stronger and lighter and also with coal, like you were saying we burn coal, you can upscale coal into graphene and burn it cleaner.
00:43:48.000So there are some, I'm very excited it's gonna be Friday afternoon so keep in touch on my Twitter and you can watch it there.
00:44:13.000Like what country is actually most likely to be ahead in terms of manufacturing these things?
00:44:18.000And I would assume it's the country where we put all of the manufacturing.
00:44:21.000And so in some ways, we've hamstringed our own ability to embrace innovation by shipping all of these things overseas.
00:44:28.000I mean, even if someone in a lab at a university in America comes up with something, ultimately the technology is getting shipped out of the country to develop, in my cynical opinion.
00:44:36.000I would counter that those would become obsolete factories over there now.
00:44:40.000We'll start building new ones that focus on flash jewel creation.
00:44:43.000If we build them here, I'm okay with it.
00:44:46.000Well that's what we're trying to do in Arizona and places like that where we could actually have these factories.
00:44:49.000So if that actually happens then a lot of like the reasons for taking Taiwan or protecting Taiwan become secondary to us actually having the factories back in the United States.
00:45:00.000China can still out-manufacture us with raw products, but when it comes to technical manufacturing,
00:45:05.000yeah, that's going to be huge in the next 20 years.
00:45:07.000The biggest place we're handicapped in comparison with China is in regulatory framework. I mean,
00:45:12.000if you look at how our government hyper-regulates not only the industrial side of manufacturing,
00:45:19.000but then the energy side, right? And that's kind of my wheelhouse, right? And that's why we have
00:45:26.000the stifling of small modular reactors and you know.
00:45:29.000We have American innovators that are having to take their technology to Canada and go through the regulatory board there, hoping that the NRC here, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission here, will finally open up the gates and allow them to build SMRs here.
00:46:15.000The way it's designed, I'm no physicist or nuclear engineer, but You know, the way I understand it is the recirculation system, the cooling system, they're all, you know, they're all passive and reliant on condensation and the systems working in cohesion with one another.
00:46:37.000I think thorium salt's another awesome opportunity for us that we're just, I mean, there's reactors out there that I mean, there's ways to convert our retired coal plants into thorium salt reactors.
00:47:22.000The problem is, I mean, there is a specific paradigm around nuclear power.
00:47:28.000People drive by cooling towers and they think that's the reactor.
00:47:30.000And a lot of it has to do with the nuclear power plants not having the market over the years.
00:47:34.000They've been in regulated environments where they know they're going to charge a certain amount per megawatt.
00:47:41.000You know, and they're going to get paid because people have to turn their lights on.
00:47:44.000But then when you have different forms of energy that are subsidized by the federal government that undercut the market, then nuclear becomes... Well, I blame the Simpsons.
00:48:34.000What's the biggest misconception about radiation damage?
00:48:36.000Like, I think what happened is when Chernobyl melted down, it just, what, all the spent nuclear corium or whatever was just there, so it was constantly irradiating the environment.
00:48:47.000It bursted into the air, and then you had the meltdown, which created the elephant's foot.
00:48:51.000And then had they been able to extract the corium, then would it have no longer been irradiating and it'd go back to normal?
00:48:56.000I mean, if you remove the source, yeah, then you would have no radiation.
00:49:00.000But the problem with Chernobyl was that when it exploded, it sprayed radioactive particulates everywhere, which blanketed down over the region.
00:49:08.000And when the West was like, hey, Russia, what's going on?
00:49:18.000I was thinking about corium meltdowns.
00:49:20.000Corium's like the stuff in the middle that when it gets really hot goes and it goes through cement and it'll just keep melting down.
00:49:25.000If you pour gold into it that it will create act as a superconductor and allow the corium to cool itself off and release the heat.
00:49:31.000So it'll it'll then it'll harden and then you could extract it.
00:49:34.000I'm not sure that gamma rays wouldn't pass through that.
00:49:37.000I mean, if it could be x-rayed, then you can still have, you know, a fission product, I would assume.
00:49:43.000I mean, the only real shielding mechanism that you're going to have from radiation of that source is going to be water or lead or high-density concrete.
00:49:52.000It wouldn't be to shield it, it would just be more to extract it so it gets out of its liquid form.
00:49:56.000Even then, you have to worry about the dose exposure that you're going to get as a human.
00:49:59.000You can only get so much before your internal organs are going to be liquid.
00:50:32.000Yeah, so you wear these cloth suits, and then when you're leaving, you take them off very carefully, they bunch them up and throw them in the garbage.
00:50:41.000Can you really quickly, generally explain what that is, a thorium salt reactor?
00:50:45.000Oh, that's kind of out of my wheelhouse, but I know that, you know, the thorium salt is essentially heated up probably through the super steam process, and then that kind of creates like a resonating heat source, which then continues to create the super steam, which turns the turbine, right?
00:51:18.000So my other question on nuclear is, what about fusion?
00:51:21.000And I know these get conflated because they're not even remotely the same process, but they're both called nuclear power, which is kind of weird.
00:51:32.000You know, in my opinion, the future, again, it goes back to the standard way of nuclear fission, right?
00:51:38.000Just having smaller, more manageable, less scary to the public reactors, things that, you know, take out the human element, because that's really where you've seen these meltdowns or where you've seen these close calls.
00:51:49.000The general public hasn't been communicated to is like there was always a safety actuation system that stopped the general public from being harmed.
00:51:56.000There's, you know, what they call defense in depth, there's always like three to four different layers of defense, you know, with these nuclear power plants, at least in the United States, right?
00:52:05.000Europe has totally different standards.
00:52:06.000But here in the US, You had Davis-Bessey, you had Three Mile Island.
00:52:09.000I mean, we were pretty far away from actually having a meltdown, but, you know, when it's communicated to the public, it's all about, you know, scaring them.
00:52:18.000Have you heard of those nuclear diamond batteries?
00:52:19.000Where they have, like, spent nuclear fuel, and they put it inside of, like, a diamond, and it just gives you a low pulse of energy?
00:52:42.000That's what we're missing out on is this recycling of spent nuclear fuel.
00:52:46.000When this nuclear fuel comes out of the reactor, it's only using 5 to 7% of its energy potential.
00:52:51.000And we have like 86,000 kilograms or whatever of metric tons of spent nuclear fuel sitting in the United States that we're not using.
00:53:01.000And you have countries like Europe that are Reprocessing and they're reusing their spent nuclear fuel.
00:53:06.000We're throwing it in canisters and leaving it at the nuclear reactors across the country and that's a multi-billion dollar industry that we could be opening and creating high-paying jobs, high-paying technical jobs for a bunch of people and we're not doing it.
00:53:17.000And people don't do it because there's a fear of nuclear.
00:53:37.000We've got a couple of political bits to jump on.
00:53:39.000We have the Postmonial Trump Blasts Attempt to Illegally Remove His Name from Ballot in Colorado on Phony Insurrection Claims.
00:53:47.000And ladies and gentlemen, we have received a spot in the books of history.
00:53:53.000At the trial for Donald Trump over whether or not he should be allowed on the ballot, they played this clip, which I will play for you now, of a show you've probably seen with Kash Patel.
00:54:03.000I have to wonder, Cash, if everything I said before about people being too stupid, it's in fact that the leadership is as stupid, right?
00:55:31.000Altogether, Trump is up by four points.
00:55:34.000So why are they trying to remove Trump from the ballot in Colorado?
00:55:38.000I think Colorado isn't one of these states, but they want to make sure that the popular vote count is as low as possible for Donald Trump, and they want to cripple him.
00:55:46.000They want to exhaust his resources and force him into legal battles.
00:55:51.000The problem, however, is this is basically giving Trump a 24-7 rally.
00:56:00.000They're trying to stop him by any means necessary, but it's like a Chinese finger trap problem.
00:56:04.000They keep saying, we're going to put him in court.
00:56:05.000Okay, now the media has got a camera in Trump's face again, letting him say whatever he wants.
00:56:09.000And it makes me think the people in Colorado whose tax dollars are being spent on this trial, right?
00:56:13.000Do they look at this and say, yes, this is our biggest priority?
00:56:17.000If you had told me they were doing something similar in, like, maybe 2016, right?
00:56:20.000When people were really... 2020, when people were really orange man bad, really freaking out about Trump, maybe I would have said, oh yeah, the average Coloradan feels like this is the most important news.
00:56:29.000But I don't feel that way, especially post-COVID, and especially since, you know, Denver in particular has been really hard hit by illegal immigration.
00:56:37.000There are a lot of issues that I'm sure people in Colorado would rather see their government focusing on.
00:56:43.000And instead, this is what they're being told their government's number one, the legal apparatus of their government's number one priority is right now.
00:56:49.000That would seem dissatisfactory for me.
00:56:52.000And I think what the American people are seeing is just a spending spree by the Biden administration.
00:56:57.000To your point, you know, the average everyday American now is paying a lot more attention to what's going on politically.
00:57:03.000And I think Trump once again resonates with the common American and you know the two-tiered justice system the guy's been on trial since 2016 and you can only run it so many times without people paying some attention and the more they You know the more they see it the more drawn in they are and I just think Trump has put on a master class on how to deal with the media he's put on a master class on how to deal with these court systems and he's very transparent and he speaks his mind and I think people appreciate I know I do
00:57:33.000He's definitely weathered this, I would say.
00:57:36.000There's great words to describe it, but very impressively, I would say.
00:58:12.000But there were a lot of people who were looking at Donald Trump as this raging bull and they were laughing like, I hope this guy gets to do it, everyone.
00:58:19.000I'm at the point where I'm just like, I am so fed up with these trials, with these lies, the manipulation.
00:58:24.000I'm just like, can we get two or three Trumps?
00:59:22.000Y'all got away with ripping us off for generations, stealing.
00:59:26.000These ridiculous stock trading deals, they know what's going on, they're passing the laws, they're introducing them, they are lying, cheating, and stealing, and all we ask is that some dude gets in for eight little old years and gets some border security and brings the manufacturing back, and you said F you to all of us And I'm just like, at this point, I just hope it's Trump 2024, 28, 32, 36, etc.
00:59:56.000Where it's like, me voting for Trump in 2016 is just Mel Gibson smiling, and then me voting for, no, in 2020, and then me voting for Trump in 24, and it's got, you know, Mel Gibson with the Braveheart.
01:00:09.000That's how the American people feel, man.
01:00:49.000He said he wouldn't, but he's probably the best person right now, realistically, in terms of positioning.
01:00:56.000I would, you know, it is tough to figure out, like, who really would be the best VP, but Vivek, outside of him saying he doesn't want it, probably is best positioned for it.
01:01:05.000I know his team is, that's their focus, right?
01:02:08.000You, I, Patrick, but David is much more brutal than I am.
01:02:12.000Like, I give people leeway, and some people argue I should not.
01:02:16.000You know, a lot of people were saying that when Cenk Uygur came on the show, I should have just gone at him way heavier, and they were like, why didn't it pop off?
01:02:22.000And I was like, I was trying to prevent it from getting into that heated debate.
01:02:26.000And there were a few points where we talked about George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, where Cenk got really heated, and I pulled away from it, trying to keep things down.
01:02:34.000Patrick Bet-David, the way he went after Anthony Weiner, I mean, Ron had to know that PBD is not going to let him walk away from the high heel scandal in this way.
01:04:23.000I know I've said it several times in the past couple weeks, but I think the donors went to Ron and convinced him to run to make sure he would not be VP.
01:04:33.000A Trump-DeSantis ticket is unbeatable.
01:04:35.000And that's what everyone had been saying the year before.
01:04:39.000I've talked about, I'm talking to a guy, I'm hanging out at MGM National Harbor, and there's a guy, he's like, I hate Trump, but I can't vote for Biden.
01:04:47.000He's like, oh yeah, I'd vote for DeSantis for sure.
01:04:49.000And then I say, what if it's Trump-DeSantis?
01:04:52.000Trump president tends VP, and he goes, Yeah, I'd vote for it.
01:04:55.000He's like, with DeSantis there, I think I could do it.
01:04:57.000And I think the establishment saw the writing on the wall that Ron is willing to play ball with whatever's gonna get him the victory.
01:05:04.000So in Florida, he's going along with core right culture war talking points and he's putting his policies forward and they're like, uh-oh.
01:05:11.000That means that if he teams up with Trump, he's going to just say yes sir to Trump and he's going to go along with this to try and be successful and build a career up.
01:05:18.000So they go to Ron and they say, no, no, you should be president.
01:05:21.000And they're laughing at him behind the scenes.
01:06:47.000On my Twitter, I posted a picture of me standing next to Ron DeSantis and a picture of me standing next to Trump and then Trump standing next to DeSantis.
01:06:54.000And in all three pictures, Ron DeSantis' height has fluctuated.
01:06:59.000And not just that, when you watch videos of him walking, he's very obviously, one, the way he's walking, high heels, and two, when the foot bends, you can tell that he's wearing high heels.
01:07:11.000Someone went to him and said, put the high heels on, you'll look tall, and they're laughing at him, like, I can't believe this idiot's doing it!
01:07:17.000And he won't fire these people because they are sabotaging him on purpose.
01:07:22.000And this, now, again, the Trump-DeSantis ticket a year and a half ago was unbeatable.
01:07:28.000If Trump announced DeSantis would be the VP, he'd be polling at 52% or something.
01:07:32.000Honestly, if DeSantis just bowed down and had humility right now, they'd still be unbeatable.
01:07:38.000If you saw him acknowledge the, I don't want to swear on camera, but the last year of his campaign, if he acknowledged how poorly run it was, people would light up.
01:07:47.000I think that there's too much animosity right now for a Trump-DeSantis ticket, and I think part of that has to do with the infrastructures they're both surrounded by, because you would need to merge their teams, or DeSantis would have to abandon everyone he's been working with.
01:08:01.000I don't know that that's realistically going to happen.
01:08:04.000So I don't want to force anyone into drama, but why is it that there have been three people who have come on this show who have asked me, why am I being attacked by DeSantis' campaign?
01:08:16.000And so, there are individuals who are not hyper-partisan electoral personalities.
01:08:24.000Individuals whose careers do not put them in the line of, I'm for Trump, or I'm for... We've had people on the show who are not saying either of those things, and they're like, DeSantis' campaign started attacking me.
01:08:34.000And I'm like, yeah, they're trying to destroy his campaign.
01:09:58.000Why did they ban their people from coming on the show?
01:10:01.000When Ron loses, there's a recovery period where Trump can say, enough fighting, you know, Ron's a great governor and we're going to welcome him back.
01:10:42.000DeSantis' people are geniuses, and what they're doing is intentionally destroying DeSantis, or they are the stupidest people in the world, and they don't understand they're destroying DeSantis.
01:10:51.000Additionally, no matter how you cut it, Ron DeSantis is the dumbest politician in the country right now for hiring.
01:11:27.000Okay, what I was gonna say is, I think Ron strikes me as high intelligence, low wisdom, because he doesn't know how to get his intellect across.
01:11:35.000It's poorly managed and poorly integrated, and like, you gotta have humility, dude.
01:11:39.000And this obsession with pride of like, oh, they said something mean, get them!
01:11:42.000Like, no, you gotta like, roll with it.
01:11:44.000Yeah, you said something mean, because I'm a goofball sometimes.
01:11:52.000I think he's done the best job of any governor in Florida, and that's why so many people moved there.
01:11:57.000That's why a lot of people are defensive of him.
01:11:58.000But that is no excuse for hiring the worst people imaginable, who are setting fires to everything around you, and you being like, this is fine.
01:12:08.000At that point, I'm like, this guy has a very serious leadership problem.
01:12:13.000And you know what I'm gonna start doing?
01:12:14.000Sorry, I can only assume now the accomplishments of Florida are due the legislature, and he's just going, sure, I guess.
01:12:20.000And he's bumbling around like Mr. Magoo.
01:12:22.000Because where he has direct executive authority, his campaign, he's failed miserably.
01:12:28.000When it comes to the politics of Florida, he's stamping what the Florida legislature passes.
01:12:32.000And so we give him a lot of credit for it, and for standing up and making statements.
01:12:36.000Now I'm just thinking, You know, they're probably just handing him a script and he just says whatever.
01:12:40.000And in Florida they want to win, they do, but here they're trying to tank him knowing he can't beat Trump and they don't want him teaming up with Trump so they're sabotaging him.
01:12:46.000Or they want him to stay governor of Florida and they don't want him to be president so they're trying to destroy his chances.
01:12:52.000It's not a great, uh, any of these options are pretty bad to have on your staff, right?
01:12:55.000I mean, this is not what you would want to be surrounded by while running a campaign.
01:12:59.000Yeah, I mean, but the establishment to Tim's point is evil and they'll, you know, they'll go to the farthest lengths to destroy something that they don't like.
01:13:07.000Well, people were pointing out, like, Ken Griffin donating to DeSantis, and the immediate assumption is the establishment is teaming up with DeSantis to go against Trump, and I'm kind of like, or they just are sabotaging DeSantis.
01:13:19.000They do not want an ascendant Trump personality.
01:13:22.000They don't want an heir to the Trump throne.
01:14:19.000That's what I do not want him to play this game, but I keep hearing everywhere, no, it's definitely gonna be a woman, it's definitely gonna be a woman, and I do not want that.
01:14:28.000Yeah, as soon as he calls me, I'll be like, if you pick a woman VP, you've lost everyone's confidence.
01:14:33.000You know, people kept asking us when we're having him on the show, And we know so many people in Trump's circle, they've all said, like, we can figure something out.
01:15:08.000Yeah, I think that should let me let me ask you.
01:15:11.000I think, you know, what I've learned in politics is things kind of are placated right on purpose.
01:15:17.000I think maybe that was something that leaked on the back end to just test the waters for the general public would think and what Twitter would think.
01:15:23.000And I think pretty quickly it got, you know, smoshed that, you know, he needed to have a female vice president.
01:15:31.000And I think he's I think he's turned the page on that.
01:15:33.000I don't think Vivek is the perfect candidate.
01:16:57.000Vivek tends to get in the details and, you know, they're polar opposites in so many regards.
01:17:03.000But personality wise, they do have some similarities.
01:17:06.000Yeah, they're both executors, but Trump is the executor, and Ramaswamy is the mastermind.
01:17:13.000They're both masterminds, but Ramaswamy is a pure mastermind.
01:17:16.000Yeah I mean that's what he said when he was here he was saying you know some personalities just can't mesh well together and I am a personality I've been an executive for so long like I have to be at the front and I think it might be a challenge to be VP under someone else it's not that he's not talented and could do amazing things it's just it's just hard for me to imagine a Trump-Ramaswamy ticket where they're both happy.
01:17:37.000I think it's he has a duty to the country I think we all do and if he's called to the position He has to take it.
01:17:51.000But if it's not obvious that those two could work in cohesion, I mean, just someone who understands leadership theory at a basic minimum can tell that these two guys can work together because they balance one another.
01:18:04.000I'm just kind of thinking, like, who else could it be?
01:18:08.000Well, that's why I like Byron, though.
01:18:09.000No, I don't think it would be Kennedy.
01:18:11.000Now, Kennedy, to your point, that's where I think there would be a personality clash, because I don't think Kennedy's going to take the back seat.
01:18:17.000And you have a guy like Byron, who's also technically intelligent, right, with his finance background.
01:18:22.000I mean, there's another balance to Trump.
01:18:24.000So, I mean, you have to kind of look for that personality.
01:18:29.000Subtle differences, but differences that complement.
01:18:31.000I think Byron, maybe in a couple cycles, would... It's tough.
01:19:44.000And then they're like, we'll get, you know, they increase, keep getting the animals bigger and bigger until they're finally like, we'll have gorillas go and kill the animal.
01:19:50.000And they're like, but then they have a gorilla problem.
01:19:53.000And Skinner's, I think it was Skinner, he's like, no, that's the best part.
01:19:55.000When winter comes, they simply freeze to death.
01:19:58.000So it's just like, we'll get all the Trumps in there.
01:20:04.000And then, you know, we'll figure it out later.
01:20:05.000I thought you made a good point that Ramaswamy's not the perfect candidate, because I think a lot of people might right now be looking for perfection, and if they don't see it, they're gonna turn away and vote for what they think is safe.
01:20:15.000But you're never gonna find perfection.
01:20:20.000And to counter that, though, if you look at some of the folks that are anti-Vivek, that are in like MAGA, you know, in the MAGA mindset, right?
01:20:29.000They're attacking Vivek because they believe he's too perfect.
01:20:38.000And if you look at what Vivek has done for his personal life, for his family, you know, for the state he lives in, his community.
01:20:44.000I mean, you don't have any Vivek Ramaswamy employees jumping out saying this guy's a terrible leader.
01:20:48.000Vivek effectively said he wants to cut funding to Israel.
01:20:52.000Now, not as blunt, he says he wants to get them sustainable to the point, through U.S.
01:20:56.000support, to where we don't need to be supporting them anymore.
01:20:59.000Which is the intelligent way of saying, like, hey, we should not be... That's bold, because, you know, Nikki Haley is like, ahhh, and she loses her mind.
01:21:06.000My objection to Ronald Swamney, to be honest, is, you know, again, I'm very lucky to be in a position to ask him this, but he has a more flexible view on H-1B visas than I do.
01:21:15.000I feel like I would prefer someone to take a stronger stance on border and border security and reducing even legal immigration into the country as well as illegal immigration, but that is not to say that he couldn't do amazing things.
01:21:32.000I don't think he would like being VP to Trump, but He has incredible potential, and I think it's better to have a deep bench of people who can do good things for the country.
01:21:43.000Like, we always talk about it like it's just the presidency and the VP, but it's really not.
01:21:47.000There are tons of cabinet positions, there are lots of things that we could have talented, intellectual, and accomplished people.
01:21:53.000Step into and really benefit the American public.
01:22:01.000I've even said it on the show, Vivek the snake.
01:22:03.000I called him a couple times and it's like I feel that like he's an orator.
01:22:06.000He's willing to bend with the wind like a reed even to the point maybe where he'll snap like Obama did and then the big business takes over.
01:22:13.000But that's why I like seeing him in a VP position because he'll watch it happen all around him and he won't have to be the one getting co-opted and he'll see how Don like kind of I mean, that's what he communicated to us.
01:22:23.000He didn't want to be someone watching.
01:22:26.000He wants to be at the head of the organization.
01:22:28.000And so, again, like, maybe if, you know, he doesn't progress with the presidential race, maybe he should run for governor of Ohio.
01:22:34.000Maybe he should step into a leadership role on a smaller scale.
01:23:00.000Vivek, like, stepped onto the stage and hit it out of the ballpark and skyrocketed in terms of just like notoriety, notability.
01:23:08.000You know, the things he was saying, the conversations he was having, the way he was having them, inspired a lot of people very, very quickly and resulted in this viral, like, notability.
01:23:52.000I can't identify with Democrats at all because if I were like, this guy wants to be the president, so he went to China and that's how I know he wants to be the president.
01:25:25.000But obviously that message hasn't trickled down to the rest of the rank and file.
01:25:30.000If we have someone out of Minnesota saying, well, I might throw my hat in the ring after we've already have an independent candidate challenging essentially Biden.
01:25:38.000I know they pretend like it's both Trump and Biden.
01:26:51.000I was going to say, I will only join this movement, the transgressive movement, if we're going back and to the right.
01:26:57.000I'm into the transgressive movement then, but back and to the left sounds equally as bad because ultimately it'll be like, why are we going back?
01:27:05.000And it'll just horseshoe back to where it was going.
01:27:07.000We do have the 20s in the chat for what Ian had said, because it is correct.
01:27:11.000The left seems to be progressive for the sake of progress, but progress for the sake of progress is blind.
01:27:16.000They're just saying, just keep doing it, keep doing it, why not, why not, and you're like, eventually, you're like, hey, there's a naked man dancing in front of children, and they're like, progress!
01:27:24.000And you're like, okay, but this is not what we thought we were progressing to.
01:27:44.000No, I think progress in the relative sense, like what would Americans view as progress, it would be Space travel, colonizing other planets.
01:27:57.000When you ask someone, what do you think the future looks like?
01:28:01.000They envision, oh, people aren't hungry anymore, people aren't starving, food replicators, spaceships.
01:28:07.000That's what they think of when they think of us advancing and progressing.
01:28:10.000What's happened is the left has hijacked progress, and now they've got naked dudes dancing in front of children.
01:28:16.000And I'm like, okay, that's veering off the course.
01:28:20.000So we're driving, here's a better way to put it, we're driving on this road, and you've got a rocky cliffside to your right, and a sheer cliffside straight drop to your left, and they've turned the car to the left, and we're like, guys, if we keep this angle up, we're going off the edge, we gotta correct it and go back to the dreams of what we used to focus on.
01:28:41.000For a moment, let us Congress, meaning move together, And turn around, and then we'll go to space.
01:28:50.000Very clearly, paint the picture, Chank, and everyone that wants to be progressive or consider themselves, paint the picture of where you want to end up.
01:29:02.000But also, after you explain where we're going, and you outline it in such a vivid way that people can picture it, then explain how we're going to get there piece by piece.
01:29:11.000And you'll have a lot of people following you.
01:29:14.000Yeah, see, the left is mostly just, we should just do what we do for whatever reason.
01:29:18.000Which is the military war machine from 1913, Federal Reserve, banking.
01:29:22.000Yeah, it's the never enough party, right?
01:29:24.000They say, you know, we've accomplished this progressive goal, but now we have to push it.
01:30:17.000Yeah, it's like, it has to do with, like, breaking social boundaries, or moral boundaries.
01:30:20.000Yeah, so transgressive would be to, like, end, like, revolting against moral and social boundaries, which is literally what the progressive movement today is saying that they're doing, so.
01:30:36.000So that's what I was saying, like, they literally are transgressive, because they always tell me that what they're trying to do is, like, you know, subvert the thing.
01:31:21.000Alright, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends, head over to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, because that members-only uncensored show is coming up in about half an hour, and you don't want to miss it, because you as a member, you can call into the show and actually talk to us.
01:31:39.000Blave Kai just says, always remember Biden's last action in Afghanistan was to drone strike a father and his seven kids while he was delivering water to his neighborhood.
01:31:58.000Alpha Turkey says, Hey Tim, it's unfair for you to call Gen Z lazy for not wanting to get out of bed to work when your generation didn't have to deal with the possibility of a Disney executive under your bed.
01:32:10.000Kathleen Kennedy was not under my bed.
01:32:12.000That's a reference to South Park, by the way.
01:32:14.000Carmen's like, Mom, can you check to see if Kathleen Kennedy's under my bed?
01:32:18.000And then, uh, I don't want to spoil the rest for you.
01:32:21.000No, but I think, um, I think Millennials are lazier than Gen Z. I think it's important to say, you know, I, I, I want to make sure I have this, I say this quite a bit.
01:32:30.000Gen Z actually is, I think, in many ways based, and Millennials suck.
01:32:35.000I think a lot of it is that they aren't incentivized, and so the momentum's not there.
01:32:40.000They wake up to this, like, what's the point kind of thing that I didn't get in the 90s and the 80s.
01:32:45.000I was like, I'm going to be a rock star, I'm going to be an actor, I'm going to be famous, make a bunch of money and save the world.
01:32:49.000I think a lot of millennials were trained to just wait for instructions, you know?
01:32:53.000They're just waiting for someone to tell them what they're supposed to be doing and they're frustrated because they're not satisfied with that way of living.
01:33:00.000And what happens with Gen Z is they catch the beginning of the influencer age in which you have to build your own platform.
01:33:08.000So millennials were like, tell me what to do, mom and dad.
01:33:15.000Then they get out of college and they're like, government, please govern me harder, daddy.
01:33:19.000Whereas Gen Z are in this period where tons of people are self-made, young people are self-made millionaires.
01:33:24.000And they're like, I gotta hustle and I gotta make a page and I gotta do these influencer stuff.
01:33:29.000Now, not all that is good, but I think that creates a little bit more of an entrepreneurial and independent spirit among Gen Z. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of communists in Gen Z. I wonder if that's natural generational, that you breed generations of workers and then generations of leaders that then build businesses for the workers.
01:33:47.000It reminds me of... Nature versus nurture is what it is.
01:33:50.000See, it reminds me of like year of the, I don't remember what it's called in China, I guess the zodiacs, but like the year of the, is it the dragon is the year that everyone wants to have a kid.
01:34:00.000There's one year where a lot of people are like, this is, this is the best thing ever.
01:34:03.000And I was listening to some report from NPR where it's like, the children who are born in this desirable year actually do perform better on tests.
01:34:09.000They do tend to have higher education, you know, things like that, these metrics.
01:36:48.000Like, I didn't start doing this so that clips of me would end up at January 6 hearings or in Trump's ballot hearing trial, but it is going to be hilarious in like a hundred years and they're like, kids, open up the archive and let's watch a clip from Timcast IRL, a political show, and we'll learn about the politics of the era.
01:37:06.000And that's like, I don't know, me and Ian saying stupid nonsense things and making jokes about fat pigs and like, It'll be like insulting Liz Chang.
01:37:13.000When President Poole was a child, he started building computers at the age of 12.
01:37:17.000It'll be funny because it's like there's so much advertisement, I wonder anyone else like who was in the courtroom that day or whatever, if they're gonna be like, I never heard of this show, it's kind of interesting.
01:37:25.000Tim Katz, like how many listeners do we have tonight?
01:37:31.000In the future, they're not going to mention President Poole.
01:37:33.000They're going to be talking in class about, you know, former presidents appearing on the show, and then one student's going to be like, how come we don't hear about Tim Poole in any other history books?
01:37:41.000I'm like, oh, that's because shortly after this, he got into a van and went to live down by the river.
01:37:45.000That's how it'll, that's how it'll turn out.
01:37:53.000Yeah, where I envision myself ending up is like an old 65-year-old man on the top of a mountain with a bunch of chickens and, you know, a nice little RV or something to live in.
01:38:03.000Self-sustainable and, you know, a pointy stick.
01:38:06.000And when someone shows up being like, we'd like to talk to you.
01:38:54.000That's so, well, I guess I can never use an excuse to call it work.
01:38:57.000I believe it is fair to say that if you went to jury duty, if you got summoned and you showed up and they asked you, be like, I am a political personality and pundit and writer for a big publication.
01:40:14.000They've recovered the evidence, he's admitted to having it, he's made a silly excuse of like, not guilty, and then one by one, the only argument I have is, it shouldn't be illegal.
01:40:23.000And then I'll be like, so I'll just keep saying it over and over again until y'all say not guilty.
01:40:26.000That's why I'd like to be on jury duty.
01:40:53.000There's been activists outside of courts advocating for jury nullification and they arrest you for it because they're like, you can't do this!
01:40:59.000But the jurors themselves can do it and they won't get messed with?
01:41:02.000So it's interesting because yes, you as the jury have ultimate power in deciding whether or not someone is guilty, but what they do is they'll say, you are not allowed.
01:41:12.000They'll be like, you must disregard your personal feelings.
01:41:14.000The only question that matters is, so I'll give you an example, Illinois.
01:43:05.000I was spending time with a girl that has been studying, Lauren Day Laguna, what's up, for getting her, she passed the bar and has studied law, and the impartiality is fascinating of being a judge.
01:43:14.000You're just like, I know the law, that is a violation of it, continue.
01:44:14.000And so this, the metaphor of doing both the weapons training and the knowledge training of knowing about this horror is like, I don't have to think about it now that I know I can just react to the system.
01:44:25.000But I highly recommend tactical training and having some weapons training if you have an opportunity.
01:44:29.000All right, Paul Tascolo says, new theory. When a 2024 Trump victory is apparent,
01:44:35.000Democrats will admit they did steal the election from Trump in 2020,
01:44:38.000and therefore he can't be elected in 2024 because it would mean he'd be elected for a third term.
01:44:41.000Well, what they would say is you can't get elected a third time.
01:45:02.000The election is the dark horse election.
01:45:05.000It would be really funny if just like two months before the election some random person no one's ever heard of just appears and just gets all the support.
01:45:12.000I was picturing like they give him like a trophy at the end of the at the end of the track and they're like okay you guys gotta run whoever gets that's gonna be president and they're like literally just comes down to you gotta run for president.
01:45:23.000Well we know who would trip and fall over their own feet.
01:45:26.000Dude, we need a strong commander, man.
01:48:00.000Well, technically, if our representatives listen to their constituents and the president actually followed the rules, then we would have that mechanism.
01:49:47.000I just say I wanted to date a car guy because then I never had to deal with my car again, you know?
01:49:53.000Like having someone in your life who is practical and can actually fix things is great.
01:49:59.000Boggarts IT says 60 of 66 credits 30k in debt no degree because I failed college algebra three times now running my own phone repair business and could use that 30k Yep, I just want to mention something as a total aside because this person's name was Bogart Do you guys know what a boggart is from Harry Potter?
01:50:22.000It's not a witch like a troll in the in the in the woods in the woods a bar Yeah, those are the things that take the shape of your worst fear and Everyone's right now saying what he's talking about.
01:50:39.000But this is important because in the movie, in the book, it's like the teacher, he looks at it and turns into the moon because he's a werewolf and he's scared of that or whatever.
01:50:48.000And then I was just thinking about it and I'm like, the concept created by JK Rowling is really stupid because it's impossible.
01:51:33.000And also when they do it in the book, you have to remember they're like, you know, I don't even know, middle school age, high school age children.
01:51:40.000I think Ron's fear was getting yelled at by essentially his mom or something like that.
01:51:43.000Fear is an interesting word because there's probably different kinds of fear.
01:51:46.000I was up really high, like 28 stories and out on a balcony and I was like, whoa.
01:51:50.000Oh, push couldn't, like that weird feeling of like getting, that fear of the heights is different than the fear of losing a loved one, like that terror.
01:51:57.000But it's similar, but it's like it's hitting different areas of my body.
01:52:09.000Like the fear I feel when I see like a wasp flying towards me is a totally different feeling from the fear of like when war is about to start.
01:52:17.000Like, the feeling that I got when they announced the personnel deployments of Be Careful With Troops and the two carrier groups going to the Mediterranean, it's like a sinking feeling of dread.
01:52:28.000But then when I see a wasp, it's like a shock where I'm just like, ah!
01:52:31.000Like an adrenaline rush, but I'm not...
01:52:33.000Really scared, it's more of like a bleh!
01:53:21.000That's just a guy in a costume, why are you scared of that?
01:53:23.000When I'm up high and I get that fear of the falling off the edge, I wonder if that's primal, because like some ancient ancestor fell from great heights and it's in my DNA or something?
01:55:16.000And that's why I always get bothered in movies when they have like a remote control underwater drone or something, because I've done this drone work.
01:57:02.000Yeah, they draw the vacuum, backfill it with helium, and then the stainless steel shell can heat, but it's within... Does the helium help normalize the pressure while insulating?
01:57:32.000He was like, fission is... Which one is fission and fusion?
01:57:35.000And we were talking about fusion reactors and fusion engines.
01:57:38.000And it was an interesting conversation.
01:57:40.000I'm going to connect you guys to a buddy of mine that actually has a startup company and he's right now going through the licensing process and through the grant process with the DOE that he's probably the strongest advocate right now in the country to recycle spent nuclear fuel.
01:59:36.000I saw this really funny video, you may have seen it, where it's a car and they've got a generator strapped to the back right wheel.
01:59:45.000So when the wheel spins, it spins the generator and is charging, and they're like, wow, that's so smart!
01:59:51.000And these people are so dumb, they don't understand the conservation of energy, they don't understand the basic laws of thermodynamics, that all he's doing is robbing his vehicle of energy by doing that.
02:00:03.000Yeah, but you know, I will say, shout out to Mythbusters, they created an internal, what was it?
02:00:09.000It was an internal kinetic motor, and so the idea was that you could not create an engine that was inside a boat to cause motion, because equal and opposite reaction, but it actually disproved it, and they were able to create forward motion with an internal engine.
02:00:25.000Basically the way it worked was, It fires, it sits in the middle of the boat, doesn't touch the water, and it fires a piston.
02:00:31.000And then when the piston hits the end, it pulls everything forward.
02:00:35.000And the idea is, the pressure of moving the piston forward creates an opposite reaction in the other direction, which should prevent the boat from moving forward.
02:00:42.000But I'm pretty sure that it was MythBuzzer who did this.
02:00:44.000They actually were able to drive the boat forward using internal... I think it's because the earth is round and you're kind of always falling forward when you're in the water.
02:01:03.000The issue, I think it was actually really simple math, was that the initial reaction which fired the piston does create a reaction in both directions.
02:01:12.000And then the catching of the piston creates a minor shock in one direction is what caused it.
02:01:18.000And then they've also got really interesting, I was watching something about Using, uh, what was it, like firing electrons or photons inside a device and then at, uh, so this would work in outer space.
02:01:31.000The amount of force created from electrons hitting a plate internally would have no effect on Earth because of friction and weight and gravity, but in outer space it would build up enough to where over time it would create speed.
02:01:43.000Yeah, when you heat up one, it's kind of how spores travel through space.
02:01:47.000The brighter side of the spore is on top, and then the dark side's underneath, so the brighter side orients towards a star and then begins to spin, which creates gyration and momentum.
02:02:01.000Regarding, we'll just do this real quick, regarding catching energy out of a system like out of your car, you can get what's called extropy, which is a little bit of lost energy can be reused.
02:02:08.000It doesn't give you enough to propel the system like a computer.
02:02:11.000All that heat coming out of your computer can be used to like heat water and can heat the pipes in your house.
02:02:15.000Alright, we're going to go to the members show, so head over to TimCast.com, click join us.
02:02:20.000The members only show is starting in a couple minutes, you don't want to miss it.
02:02:22.000We're going to have callers talk to us and our guests.
02:03:09.000But I think it's because I have Chicago sensibilities, and so it's like, Midwesterners are, you know, we kind of see these things, and we're not the coasts, it makes sense, but anyway.
02:03:20.000Well, I'm all for the pro-Pittsburgh talking points, even though I've never been there.
02:03:25.000I am really glad that we were here tonight.
