On this episode of Conspiracy Theories, my friends, we take a look at the theory that President Donald Trump is a time-traveler. Is he a member of the Trump family, or is it someone from Trump's family who has access to time travel technology? Or is it just another conspiracy theory?

00:00:00.000 In the suburbs of D.C., a woman fails to show up for work and is found brutally murdered.
00:00:06.020 I wonder what's an emergency.
00:00:07.360 We just walked in the door and there's blood in the foyer.
00:00:10.620 For the next two decades, the case remained unsolved
00:00:13.860 until new technology allowed investigators to do what had once been impossible.
00:00:19.500 A new series from ABC Audio in 2020.
00:00:23.440 Blood and Water.
00:00:25.260 Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00:27.700 I can't unsee it now. I didn't want to believe it at first, but I do now. I believe time travel is
00:00:35.480 real and I believe President Trump is a time traveler. Uncle John Tesla. The image published
00:00:42.420 October 20th, 2021. The Butler assassination attempt occurred July 13th, 2024. Notice the
00:00:48.280 bullet. In this tweet from MJ Truth Ultra, he is arguing that based on the third assassination
00:00:55.280 attempt and the strange occurrences that have popped up since then, only a day or so ago.
00:01:01.360 This proves Donald Trump is a time traveler. Now, here's the funny thing. I don't think that
00:01:07.520 Donald Trump is a time traveler, my friends, but there are a whole bunch of very weird stories.
00:01:14.860 And I got to be honest, as much as I'm going to say he's not a time traveler,
00:01:20.100 These stories are not real.
00:01:22.380 I completely understand why people think Trump is a time traveler.
00:01:27.860 OK, so here's basically the story.
00:01:29.880 Following the shooting that took place at the White House Correspondence Center, someone
00:01:33.700 unearthed an X account that only posted one thing one time in 2023, and that is the name
00:01:39.920 Cole Allen, the name of the shooter.
00:01:42.600 The image in the banner shows some kind of weird digitized pixel art.
00:01:47.620 that art originated in 2022. And you can overlay the Butler assassination photo right into it.
00:01:56.020 And it looks like someone took the photo and then used some kind of AI generator to just transform
00:02:01.680 it based on that framework. Now, that can be coincidence. Some people are saying it's just
00:02:07.380 you want to see the pattern, so you do. But here's the funny thing. The conspiracy theory
00:02:12.580 about Donald Trump being a time traveler is not new. A series of books went viral years ago from
00:02:17.100 author called Ingersoll Lockwood, where he wrote a book called The Last President. And it's about
00:02:22.500 Baron Trump, not an exaggeration, on Fifth Avenue as communists and anarchists storm up to his Fifth
00:02:29.260 Avenue tower. How is that possible? Now, last month, several sketches emerged over 100 years old
00:02:38.920 showing strange UFOs and airships named Trump with a golden haired man piloting these devices.
00:02:46.080 Some say these are sketches from 100 years ago showing Donald Trump traveling back in time in his time travel device.
00:02:54.800 A witness saw it, sketched it, and now we have it today.
00:02:59.180 Could it be that Ingersoll Lockwood is somebody from Trump's family who traveled back in time and left behind a manuscript explaining exactly what would happen?
00:03:09.620 Or could it just be that if you really look for patterns, you'll find one?
00:03:13.620 And if you want to make the pieces fit, all you need is a good hammer and any jigsaw puzzle piece
00:03:18.620 will fit wherever you want it. Now, I will say this. It's very strange because when you take a
00:03:25.420 look at anyone else, you don't see these weird instances that one could use to interpret Trump
00:03:32.340 as a time traveler or at least someone in Trump's circle. You see, apparently back in the day,
00:03:37.580 Tesla had his crazy invention and he died. And apparently it was Trump's uncle that got access
00:03:42.860 to it. Could it be that Trump's family has had access to time travel technology for a long time?
00:03:49.040 Could the Mandela effect, as we know it, be temporal artifacts created by Donald Trump's
00:03:55.120 time travel? He accidentally smudged a manuscript for Berenstain Bears and it became Berenstain.
00:04:00.920 Okay, I think all of it is probably, it's all silly. In the realm of possibility, yeah, I don't
00:04:06.400 know, probably not. I would argue, I guess, based on what we think we know about science,
00:04:11.380 Reverse time travel is probably not possible.
00:04:14.180 But you got to wonder.
00:04:15.740 You got to wonder when you see all of these weird stories.
00:04:18.760 So let me, my friends, take you on a journey as we explore the latest conspiracy theory around the third assassination attempt.
00:04:25.960 And this story is from a month ago.
00:04:28.740 More people claiming that Donald Trump is a time traveler.

00:05:16.860 Check it out, my friends.
00:05:19.060 I have this story for the New York Post.
00:05:20.860 Is Trump a time traveler?
00:05:23.100 Century-old sketches spark new conspiracy theories.
00:05:25.640 But let's do this first.
00:05:27.320 Let's start here with MJ Truth Ultra.
00:05:29.000 He says, do you believe in coincidences?
00:05:33.200 Pepe tux, Trump tux, wine glass, Cole Allen time machine.
00:05:36.640 Do you believe in time travel?
00:05:38.520 And here's the viral story right now.
00:05:42.700 Henry Martinez, a seemingly random account with no posts except for one.
00:05:48.340 December 21st, 2023, the name Cole Allen.
00:05:51.860 This account has a profile picture of Pepe the Frog wearing a tuxedo with a black bow tie and a wine glass.
00:06:00.460 Sure enough, an image emerged going viral as the shooting at the White House Correspondence Center took place.
00:06:07.260 People were filming this clip of Donald Trump sitting there looking at the camera similarly to the Pepe with a black tie on and a wine glass right next to him.
00:06:17.140 now what are the chances this account's profile picture resembles Trump in this moment and that
00:06:24.780 the only thing it tweeted was Cole Allen but wait there's more I give you this image
00:06:31.020 timemachine.eu 5th of May 2022 3d digitization you can see this interesting looking pixel art
00:06:41.480 of some sort. You don't really know what it is. Can't really tell. And one could make up a bunch
00:06:47.620 of things they want it to be. I mean, maybe here is a wizard holding a staff. This might be a spider
00:06:53.440 of some sort. I have no idea. There seems to be. I would I would argue that this is Obito from
00:06:59.320 Naruto because he's got the mask on with the one eye hole and it's swirling. I'm kidding. But if
00:07:04.600 you know what Naruto is, you understand the reference. You don't really know. What is it?
00:07:07.960 what is it even, right? Well, some people think it's indicative of time travel. Take a look at
00:07:14.360 this video. Someone superimposed the butler photo right over it. And watch this. So as you can see,
00:07:22.780 as you fade the opacity on the butler-aligned photo, you can see that Trump's fist
00:07:30.420 fits perfectly in this space right here.
00:07:35.560 Looks like there's some kind of fist.
00:07:37.840 There's the head.
00:07:39.000 There's the other agent's head.
00:07:40.940 Many people are saying this proves it.
00:07:44.540 To be fair, I think it proves nothing.
00:07:47.160 I think it's just coincidence.
00:07:50.520 The interesting thing, however,
00:07:52.600 is that the art is from Time Machine,
00:07:55.480 and it does appear on Henry Martinez's profile.
00:08:00.420 So even if it's just coincidence, this person said the name of Cole Allen with an avatar that
00:08:06.640 was dressed the same way Trump is dressed, with an image from the website Time Machine,
00:08:11.700 and now people are losing it. MJ Truth Ultra says, the events last night just got even weirder.
00:08:18.160 That Pepe account that posted the shooter's name a few years ago, his header background,
00:08:21.860 I found the source of that image. Besides being later linked to a Time Machine website,
00:08:26.120 the image looks like a superimposed image of Trump at the Butler assassination.
00:08:29.120 This is the wild part. That original image predates the Butler assassination attempt.
00:08:34.400 To add in even more spice to the Butler connection, watch the video. Is this the same woman?
00:08:39.900 Now, I'm going to just stress, if you're asking whether or not at the White House Correspondents
00:08:46.740 Dinner, where you have Secret Service agents, a Secret Service agent was there, that is not at
00:08:52.360 all surprising to me that probably is the same woman because she's a Secret Service agent. 0.87
00:08:59.120 so she would be in these places. She has a job, you know what I mean? So again, I look at this
00:09:05.800 image from Time Machine, and I don't think it's a picture of Trump. I think there seems to be
00:09:13.820 some kind of circle here, a hand here. For all we know, they took an image of a guy being held
00:09:18.880 up with his fists in the air, and people are just putting Trump there to make it make sense.
00:09:22.980 One could argue there's a fist here, there's a head here. Some are saying there's a bullet hole
00:09:27.240 there. I think a lot of people are just seeing what they want to see, though it is strange.
00:09:31.840 The account posted only Cole Allen. There is an argument for this. Someone saying it's just
00:09:36.200 a random account, one of hundreds of millions of people. And listen, guys, you put a million
00:09:41.720 monkeys in a room. Eventually, one of them types out Shakespeare. Actually, I think the argument
00:09:46.840 is we put infinite monkeys in. They'll all produce the works of Shakespeare. The truth is, yes,
00:09:50.680 we know that mathematically it is probabilistic that at some point all of the oxygen in a room
00:09:56.400 moves to one side of the room. It's just the odds of that occurring are like more than there are
00:10:03.180 particles in the universe. It's just probabilistically not going to happen. Well, then we
00:10:08.860 have this. From March 13th, is Trump a time traveler? Century-old sketches spark new
00:10:15.620 conspiracy theories. Before I get into all of that, we don't need to listen to whatever that
00:10:21.240 website is. Why is it playing music in Spanish? I want to highlight. Yeah, we don't we don't need
00:10:27.160 your commuted website or whatever. Here we go. Donald Trump, Trump's uncle, reviewed Nikola
00:10:32.900 Tesla's confiscated documents after his death. At the passing of Nikola Tesla, it was John G. Trump,
00:10:38.920 uncle of the right former because it's an old article, who reviewed the scientific documents
00:10:43.680 of the famed inventor, sparking curiosity about the historical connection. Many people argue
00:10:48.120 that Trump's uncle discovered secret technology from Tesla that would grant him the ability to
00:10:52.700 travel time. I don't think it's true. Tesla certainly was out of his time, but his technology
00:10:57.440 is like super old. Could you imagine? It's like the early 1900s and people believe that Tesla
00:11:04.420 technology beyond our own technology today. But what if? What if the advancements we have seen,
00:11:12.120 which seem to be exponential, you take a look at all of human history and we were slowly
00:11:18.060 developing tech. Did you know that it took from the invention of gunpowder and muskets
00:11:23.500 hundreds of years to get the cartridge? It's pretty crazy. It wasn't until the mid-1800s,
00:11:29.660 they were like, why don't we just preload these things instead of stuffing them in a musket?
00:11:33.860 Can't believe how long it took. What if through the final advancement of technologies,
00:11:40.980 Nikola Tesla's uncle, I'm sorry, Nikola Tesla discovered time travel technology.
00:11:47.540 Trump's uncle found it and has been using it to travel through time or alternate realities,
00:11:51.900 alternate futures, and bringing the technology back.
00:11:54.540 And that's the real reason Trump is a billionaire.
00:11:57.380 Probably not, but people like to argue it anyway. 0.99
00:12:01.280 So I want to find this, where's this stupid Ingersoll Lockwood thing that I've got? 0.89
00:12:05.240 Okay, is it right here? 0.98
00:12:06.640 First, before we read into the weird drawings of Trump and time machines,
00:12:11.360 you got to learn about this story that went viral a while ago.
00:12:14.440 This 1800s book series called
00:12:16.300 Barron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey
00:12:18.160 is leaving social media shook
00:12:20.000 with its presidential predictions.
00:12:22.000 No joke, they're real books from the late 1800s.
00:12:25.440 A 19th century time-traveling book series
00:12:27.520 by an oddball American author
00:12:28.800 that centers around a protagonist named Barron Trump
00:12:31.220 has taken TikTok by storm.
00:12:33.200 Anyone who owns copies of Ingersoll Lockwood's
00:12:35.540 Barron Trump novels is dusting off
00:12:37.480 their legacy forgotten collection
00:12:38.760 to scour for any missed clues
00:12:40.560 that could indicate where America could be going next.
00:12:42.140 look at this the last president 1900 one novel in the series the last president has fueled
00:12:49.260 conspiracy theories that donald trump may have been foreseen as a pivotal political figure in
00:12:53.860 history in the book a heated election causes unrest in new york city and sparks protests
00:12:59.240 on fifth avenue the fictional president brian decides to appoint a cabinet member named pence
00:13:05.280 similar to trump's vice president and the protagonist baron trump who bears the same name
00:13:10.340 though spelled differently, is described as being curious, arrogant, and destined for greatness.
00:13:16.340 The seemingly Simpsons-level predictions have left TikTok users in a frenzy.
00:13:20.100 The theories on social media platform delve into every accessible crevasse. Some link the novels
00:13:26.060 to Trump's late uncle, John G. Trump, who analyzed Tesla's papers regarding energy and time. This
00:13:31.960 connection has led some to wildly speculate that the Trump family gained knowledge of time travel
00:13:35.660 through studies tied to Tesla and his supposed secret time travel experiments.
00:13:40.340 skepticism is still at the forefront of the whirlwind theories though many argue the books
00:13:44.900 are coincidental works of fiction reflecting on the era that were published they were published
00:13:48.800 during others find that the theorizers are grasping at inconceivable straws born out of an
00:13:53.520 obsession with the trump family well yeah probably but what i would say is it just is really weird
00:14:00.680 that there are all of these things i wonder so i ask unto you my friends is it possible that you
00:14:08.600 could take any human being and collaborate or bring together these things. So what I mean is
00:14:16.040 what if you grabbed, I don't know, John Travolta? Could you look for things in the past and present
00:14:23.860 if people focused enough on the guy to make the same argument? What I would say is we don't
00:14:29.740 typically see, among many other public personalities and well-known figures, the incessant
00:14:37.100 time travel preponderances that we do with Trump. It could just be this. People know Trump's name.
00:14:44.700 And so they're looking these things up and finding them. Well, let's take a look at these images.
00:14:50.220 Apparently, there are 100 year old sketches by a Prussian born artist named Charles Delshaw
00:14:56.020 showing a golden haired man piloting a strange sky vehicle. And it says Trump. Interesting.
00:15:03.180 They go on to then mention the marvelous, Baron Trump's marvelous underground journey,
00:15:08.760 which is interesting.
00:15:09.460 But there are more images of these airships.
00:15:12.360 Can we zoom in?
00:15:12.820 I just want to take a look at this.
00:15:14.040 A strange vehicle.
00:15:15.920 Why was this person drawing whatever this weird thing is with a golden haired man piloting
00:15:20.620 it once again?
00:15:21.840 And it says Trump on it.
00:15:23.940 Then there's this strange thing.
00:15:26.100 Arrow up Trump.
00:15:27.960 Why?
00:15:29.540 These strange vehicles.
00:15:30.660 Could it be that Donald Trump personally traveled to the past where he was witnessed as his Aero
00:15:38.260 Trump? Imagine you're a Prussian man sitting on your porch when all of a sudden in a field,
00:15:44.140 a vehicle flies to the sky. Donald Trump steps out and he's got big golden Trump letters on
00:15:49.660 the vehicle. Why? Because Trump does that. It's like, why would the Prussian guy write Trump on
00:15:54.880 it? Did Trump introduce himself? No, it's because Trump writes his name on everything.
00:15:58.240 Puts them on buildings.
00:15:59.620 So this Prussian guy's sitting there. 1.00
00:16:00.680 He sees his vehicle.
00:16:01.240 He's like, heavens me, what is that?
00:16:03.920 Trump then goes, I think we got the wrong time.
00:16:07.720 We're supposed to go back to 1890, not, you know, 1820s.
00:16:12.900 And so then, although this is 100 years old, so he then leaves.
00:16:17.840 The guy then immediately starts drawing these pictures of a strange vehicle that said Trump on it.
00:16:22.860 I don't know.
00:16:23.540 Do they explain it?
00:16:24.320 is that the mystery grows even stronger
00:16:26.180 when conspiracy fans examine Lockwood's time travel book.
00:16:29.220 So let's get the history on this.
00:16:30.500 They say, what is it, 200 years?
00:16:32.160 Wow.
00:16:33.400 A wild theory, sketches of futuristic aircraft
00:16:36.120 drawn by Charles Delshaw, Prussian immigrant in 1850
00:16:39.680 and died in 1923,
00:16:42.040 contained the word Aero Trump
00:16:43.620 and even featured the number 47,
00:16:45.800 the number of presidents.
00:16:47.440 Before his death, he created depictions
00:16:48.980 of fantastical flying machines called arrows,
00:16:51.580 which often resembled a mix of early airships,
00:16:53.920 balloons, and primitive airplanes. However, conspiracy theories have seized upon the
00:16:57.220 repeated appearance of Trump's name and the 45th and 47th commander-in-chief. The extraordinary
00:17:01.480 theory has become connected to old novels by Ingersoll Lockwood. We know that already.
00:17:06.940 But here we see in this one, it says 4599. What does that mean? This one says 4595. Oh,
00:17:14.680 it says 95? No, that looks like it says 4599. This one says 4595. Interesting. I mean,
00:17:23.280 Trump was 45. I have a better theory, I guess, than time travel. It may just be that, well,
00:17:30.100 for one, coincidence is the easiest thing to explain it all the way, right? Pure coincidence.
00:17:36.640 But could it also be people can see the future? I know that's all also fantastical, right? But my
00:17:43.200 point is, would it not just make more sense that sometimes people have visions of the future
00:17:47.640 than it is that Donald Trump is a time traveler or someone in his family is? Now, I understand both
00:17:52.320 are kind of out there. Still, I think visions of the future are infinitely more probable than Trump
00:17:58.040 as a time traveler. Although I think seeing the future is probably incorrect. You can see the
00:18:03.140 future in a certain sense, right? Like if I see a guy running full speed, holding a rock,
00:18:08.080 then in my mind, I'm imagining him throwing that rock, you know, and then maybe he does.
00:18:13.300 So I had a vision. He was going to throw the rock, right? But you know, he was running towards you
00:18:17.080 with the rock screaming. So we just presumed, you know what I mean? That's not really a vision of
00:18:20.880 the future, that's just deduction. To deduce to such a degree that Donald Trump would be the
00:18:27.660 president is just not happening. But that being said, we have stories throughout history of
00:18:32.520 prophecy, of people seeing things that are going to happen or, you know, making these guesses that
00:18:38.120 sometimes come true, sometimes don't. So I would actually argue that if you came to me and said
00:18:42.580 there was some kind of unknown phenomena here, psychic visions makes way more sense than Trump
00:18:47.960 traveling to the past. Ingersoll Lockwood taking DMT or the equivalent and having crazy visions
00:18:54.140 and writing this book makes a lot more sense than Donald Trump building or having a time
00:18:58.840 machine from his uncle. Sorry. You know, believe whatever you want to believe. A lot of people
00:19:03.600 want to believe it. So over on Reddit, somebody wrote, why is Ingersoll Lockwood's The Last
00:19:08.880 President so eerily coincidental? The magic of the internet came across several, this is from
00:19:12.300 five years ago, by the way. Anyhow, it was written a century ago and has been bugging me lately for
00:19:16.960 how coincidental is it? It is like, understand that's unlikely anything but a coincidence. But
00:19:20.680 my God, why is it basically an almanac? I feel like it needs more recognition based on the
00:19:25.220 characters and plots and just how weirdly specific the author was about people. The top comment says
00:19:30.160 just connect them all. Just connect them all. It is mind boggling. Nikolai Tesla's work was
00:19:35.040 confiscated by Trump's uncle. And now Trump befriends a guy who works at whose company is
00:19:39.300 named Tesla, focusing on electric stuff. These are all connected guys. A lot of mysterious things
00:19:44.280 in this world we can never explain. And I think Trump is losing. And I think Trump losing in 2020
00:19:48.240 was actually part of the plan to avoid a disastrous event. This time, 2024, Trump will win.
00:19:54.160 This is crazy. This was written two years ago. This is before the election.
00:19:58.660 I think I do believe in time travel. The time travel we knew and we portray in the movies is
00:20:02.780 not actual time travel. I think a real time traveler are those with capability to see in
00:20:07.560 the past and future events is more spiritual or supernatural. This person two years ago said,
00:20:12.420 based on this, Trump will win in 2024. And he did. And he did. The response is, yes,
00:20:18.840 thank you for being the one to say it. Time travel does occur in physical reality, but
00:20:21.540 not in physical reality, but spiritual reality. Though I don't believe this case is a matter of
00:20:25.740 time travel. It's a matter of planning and executing said plans generations in advance
00:20:29.540 by the Freemasons, but really the cabal cabalists, cabalists. Interesting. This says, I agree.
00:20:37.140 Someone responded, the only coincidental thing is the name Barron Trump. It's not Donald.
00:20:40.680 All the populist stuff is pretty generic.
00:20:42.600 It comes up in fiction all the time.
00:20:44.000 Like, actually, all the time.
00:20:45.340 Stephen King, The Simpsons writers, Octavia Butler,
00:20:47.740 Neal Stephenson, all wrote Donald Trump-esque
00:20:49.540 president characters to the T.
00:20:51.840 Someone said, this book was written 100 years ago
00:20:54.220 and has a character named Baron Trump.
00:20:56.260 Who is taught by the Don?
00:20:59.120 Who is taught by the Don?
00:21:01.720 Let's do this.
00:21:02.960 I'm going to ask Rock to summarize the characters
00:21:08.180 and plot of The Last President by Ingersoll Lockwood. All right, Grok, lay it on me.
00:21:17.740 We'll pull that in when we do. And this person says, so the thing for me is, there is coincidence,
00:21:23.860 there are coincidences, what I've learned in my years, that most often, if I have to do a double
00:21:27.560 take more than once on something, it's not a coincidence. I guess I'm at the point where I
00:21:30.680 don't really believe in coincidence much. That being said, sometimes the how needs to sit on
00:21:35.040 the back burner, because eventually that all comes out. At this point, it's more so figuring
00:21:39.880 out the why. Hasn't anyone noticed the resemblance of Barron? I mean, it's not spot on, but it's
00:21:44.020 close enough. Also, remember the late 1800s, we're not like as we would have imagined it,
00:21:49.460 or we were taught. It seemed to me they had many advancements in science that had been erased and
00:21:53.540 hidden for the most part. So then to me, the why would seem important. And to what is the intended
00:21:59.140 outcome for people today inevitably seeing the similarities in this book? Yada, yada, yada,
00:22:04.020 it. We get it. All right. Let's see what Grok has to say about all this. The Last President,
00:22:10.100 an 1896 political satire dystopian novella by Ingersoll Lockwood, imagines the chaotic aftermath
00:22:15.920 of the populist victory in the 1896 U.S. presidential election, written as a warning
00:22:20.140 against socialism, populism, and class warfare. Wealthy residents in Manhattan along Fifth Avenue
00:22:25.120 barricade their homes as mobs from the east side led by anarchists and socialists organize and
00:22:29.440 threaten violence with cries like death to the rich. Down with our oppressors. That sounds like
00:22:34.200 today. Authorities call out police and military regiments to suppress riots. Chaos spreads to
00:22:41.100 other cities like Chicago. The new admin pushes radical policies, such as repealing the gold
00:22:46.280 standard for a silver-based currency, causing financial panic on Wall Street, bank failures,
00:22:50.180 and economic turmoil. Tensions escalate nationally. Congress enters continuous session
00:22:55.240 amid partisan gridlock, rumors of secession or splitting the union circulate and institutions
00:23:00.220 strain under their pressure. All that sounds like today. The narrative builds to a climactic
00:23:04.400 breakdown around the turn of the century with violence at the Capitol symbolizing the collapse
00:23:09.000 of the Republic. The book ends in a note that the order is no more implying civil strife or
00:23:14.780 systemic failure. So the president is Brian, a bold, outspoken New Yorker living on Fifth Avenue
00:23:21.400 who shocks the nation with his victory.
00:23:23.560 His win represents the reign of the common people.
00:23:25.900 He selects a cabinet that includes Leif Pence.
00:23:29.400 Okay.
00:23:30.280 A detailed, often noted in modern discussions.
00:23:32.860 Governor Morton, the mob, anarchists, police forces.
00:23:38.140 Who is Barron Trump in this?
00:23:40.940 Is Barron Trump even in it?
00:23:43.220 Barron Trump, conspiracy theories.
00:23:45.700 See, I didn't ask any about that.
00:23:46.800 I just tell me what's going on with this book.
00:23:48.600 Barron Trump does not appear at all in the last president.
00:23:51.280 that's important. He's the main character from Ingersoll Lockwood's two earlier children's
00:23:55.880 fantasy novels, Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and his wonderful dog, Bulger,
00:24:00.540 Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey. His full name is Wilhelm Heinrich Sebastian
00:24:04.580 von Trump, commonly called Baron Trump. Baron is his title. He's a precocious, arrogant,
00:24:10.100 highly intelligent boy. He boasts a massive brain. That sounds like Trump, bro. 0.99
00:24:16.640 uh let's see who is the don in the book is there a the don in the book
00:24:26.460 don full name don fum is a character in the baron trump novels second baron trump fantasy he does
00:24:32.820 not appear in the last president he has alerted spaniard whose ancient manuscript guides the young
00:24:37.700 baron trump on his adventures his name is don constantino bartolomeo stefalo fidget i'm not
00:24:44.200 reading that. Don Fum. Don is simply the Spanish for Mr. or Sir. So he is taught by the Don,
00:24:51.560 as it were. Tell me, my friends, do you believe that Donald Trump is a time traveler?
00:24:56.700 I don't think so. The assassination attempt is actually pretty freaky. And the actual thing,
00:25:01.180 and we're all joking everything, but, you know, Melania Trump has come out and attacked 0.90
00:25:05.140 Jimmy Kimmel. He made a joke just before this. Let's talk about time travel, right?
00:25:09.800 Jimmy Kimmel cracked a joke saying that Melania Trump looked, she was glowing like an expectant 1.00
00:25:15.300 widow. That's an insane joke to make. I mean, this guy is vile, saying she was glowing because
00:25:21.300 she thought her husband was going to be killed or he would die. And that's insane. So she's 0.84
00:25:26.200 slamming him for this. Now, would we indicate, would this indicate that Jimmy Kimmel is a time
00:25:30.080 traveler? No, no, no, no. The Barron Trump novels don't really have all that much in common. The
00:25:35.420 last president isn't about
00:25:37.300 Barron Trump. He's not in the book. It's just about
00:25:39.480 the politics in New York at the
00:25:41.340 time. And the reality is, we're
00:25:43.400 not so different of people 100 years
00:25:45.440 on. I don't think Trump's a time
00:25:47.400 traveler. I don't think that
00:25:49.300 his uncle got access to time travel technology.
00:25:52.120 Although it is interesting.
00:25:54.100 In the 1800s,
00:25:55.000 we still lived like farmers.
00:25:57.480 Yet, turn
00:25:59.160 of the century, everything changed. The Industrial Revolution.
00:26:01.760 Technology was advancing
00:26:02.940 rapidly.
00:26:03.840 Now, why is that? Some just say population boon, thanks to the discovery of oil's uses.
00:26:11.880 We started saying like, hey, we could burn this oil stuff and output a ton of energy.
00:26:16.940 With that, farming became easier. Food became abundant. People had lots and lots of babies,
00:26:23.020 so many babies. And with this ease and access to energy through oil production,
00:26:26.900 we had a lot of free time on our hands. This resulted in a lot of people doing nothing but
00:26:32.120 goof off and do scientific research. The birth of the scientific method. And thus, technology
00:26:38.680 rapidly progressed. However, if you wanted to, you could believe that Donald Trump's family went back
00:26:43.280 in time and started seeding all of this technology. Nikola Tesla's from the future. He went back in
00:26:48.940 time, started planting all this tech, and then Trump's family found the tech, and then they
00:26:53.680 carried on, whatever you want to believe. Well, it certainly is fun to think about. I love these
00:26:59.980 stories, but I ask unto you, what do you think? Right now, we are talking about alien disclosures,
00:27:06.440 UFOs, and all of this crazy stuff. People are looking at these stories, asking what the hell
00:27:11.380 is really going on? And this is where things get interesting. With all the talk about alien
00:27:16.320 hybrids, UFOs, and these things, questions have emerged whether or not they're actually aliens
00:27:21.300 or if they're people. So first, you have this viral video. It was Palmer Luckey of Anduril
00:27:27.140 saying that he believes UFOs are probably from the past. The past? How does that make sense?
00:27:32.860 Well, he says, there's a lot more time before us than what we can see after us. And traveling to
00:27:38.320 the future, we know we can do, but traveling to the past is very difficult. Time dilation,
00:27:43.420 for instance, if a vehicle sped up fast enough, theoretically, time would speed up around them.
00:27:48.620 So let's say you got a vehicle and you travel the speed of light forward and backward, blink, blink.
00:27:54.200 you would then be in the future so if we built a craft that accelerated near the speed of light
00:27:59.340 or just maybe half the speed of light and then turned around right away and then reversed
00:28:03.440 the closer we go to the speed of light everything else starts speeding up relative to the person in
00:28:08.420 that vehicle so it's not that they're traveling through time is that people on earth would just
00:28:12.640 for a thousand years see the vehicle just not moving in space to them it would look like it's
00:28:17.580 going really slow to the person inside they would feel like seconds are passing when they come back
00:28:23.240 earth would be way in the future. So his argument is that these vehicles we're seeing came from a
00:28:28.660 long time ago, an ancient advanced civilization that collapsed. We are the new civilization and
00:28:33.480 they're from thousands of years before, maybe 30, 40, 50,000, who knows. But others have made
00:28:39.180 the argument that we are under the secret dictatorship of future people. That's one of
00:28:44.860 the great conspiracy theories that a civilization much, much more advanced has traveled back in time
00:28:49.480 to control the flow of time
00:28:51.280 to ensure a future that they want.
00:28:54.420 It's like the plot of every sci-fi movie
00:28:55.980 dealing with time travel.
00:28:57.360 People from the future come back
00:28:58.500 to try and create their future,
00:29:01.300 their utopia.
00:29:03.200 There's a bunch of crime thrillers.
00:29:04.820 There's that movie, The Tomorrow War,
00:29:06.600 where they're fighting a war,
00:29:08.200 so they recruit.
00:29:08.780 What do they do?
00:29:09.480 They recruit people from the past or something.
00:29:11.240 Is that what it was?
00:29:12.140 They go back in time and say,
00:29:13.520 you can't have had kids,
00:29:15.820 so we're going to pull you to the future
00:29:17.240 to fight in this war or something.
00:29:19.280 I don't know. Whatever. Guys, I hate to break it to you. It's it's just conspirator stuff, guys.
00:29:26.600 Everybody wants to believe every single conspiracy. And you know why? Because the government lied to
00:29:31.640 us so many times over the past 10 years that you have teenagers, you had kids who are 10 years old.
00:29:36.720 They are 20 years old now, 10 years on since Trump came down that escalator. The media has lied and
00:29:43.020 lied and the government has lied and lied and lied. So no one believes anything they have to say.
00:29:48.840 And thus, certainly Trump must be a time traveler.
00:29:53.960 I don't blame people for calling this stuff out.
00:29:58.280 You know, I don't blame people for choosing to believe whatever they want.
00:30:02.380 The scary thing, however, is that these conspiracy theories, these are fun. 0.96
00:30:05.960 These are silly.
00:30:06.780 But the crazier ones can lead us into destroying our own political infrastructure. 0.95
00:30:12.180 This is the danger of a loss in confidence of government.
00:30:15.200 And it's why I have warned about civil war.
00:30:17.820 Now, many people are probably already commenting, saying, how did you squeeze civil war?
00:30:21.320 Well, it's because of a loss of confidence in government.
00:30:23.860 When you have multiple factions that don't believe there is a functioning government,
00:30:28.680 they're not going to adhere to the laws of that government.
00:30:31.660 If people genuinely believe that Donald Trump is an alien, a time traveler, otherwise,
00:30:35.160 what they're really saying is the government's narrative, the books, everything we're being
00:30:38.800 told is unbelievable.
00:30:39.800 I don't believe it.
00:30:40.300 I won't live that way.
00:30:41.860 And when that confidence breaks in the system, what do you think people are going to do?
00:30:47.160 they're going to go their own ways. What if they believe the government of the United States is
00:30:52.000 controlled by a foreign entity? What if they believe it's controlled by an alien entity?
00:30:56.720 You might think, well, that's crazy. Doesn't matter. If that's the life they live,
00:31:01.760 then what do you think happens? If someone thinks aliens control our government, you think they're
00:31:04.740 going to listen to an FBI agent when they show up at their house? Now, what if everybody doubted
00:31:08.800 this? Indeed, those people would then be saying, I'm not going to listen to you. The analogy that
00:31:15.160 to give is this. Imagine someone knocks on your door, and you look, and there's a clown standing 0.79
00:31:20.240 there. Can I help you? And he goes, I am here from clown enforcement with a clown warrant. Open your 0.68
00:31:26.300 door. You'd be like, no. What? I'm not letting some clown in my house. Now, of course, you can
00:31:33.940 understand what I'm saying. Some random guy with a clown warrant, and it's got rainbows coming out 0.59
00:31:38.660 of it. You're going to be like, this is not real. You have no authority here. You fear no clowns.
00:31:44.360 That's the point.
00:31:45.660 Now imagine an FBI agent
00:31:47.020 shoves up someone's house
00:31:48.520 and that person views the feds 0.65
00:31:50.440 identically to how you would view a clown.
00:31:52.900 A guy wearing a button-up shirt
00:31:54.340 thinks he can come home house
00:31:55.080 because a piece of paper told him so.
00:31:56.080 Not happening.
00:31:57.340 When people don't have confidence
00:31:59.260 that these law enforcement systems
00:32:00.980 or our government is real,
00:32:02.620 it all starts breaking down.
00:32:04.640 Then they go to serve a warrant
00:32:05.680 and say, I'm not letting you in.
00:32:06.400 I don't care.
00:32:06.700 Your warrant means nothing.
00:32:07.920 The question is,
00:32:08.900 can they back up the threat
00:32:10.260 of that warrant with violence?
00:32:12.660 What if they can't? 0.92
00:32:13.840 More importantly, what if the crazy conspiracy theorists are like, you're an alien and I know 0.98
00:32:17.820 it. I'm not letting you in. And this results in shootouts and violence. And indeed, I don't think 0.99
00:32:22.920 that's what we're going to get from stories like this. I'm just saying that as people stop believing
00:32:27.380 the media, the government and our shared history, the higher the likelihood of destabilization.
00:32:34.720 Sorry to blackpill your funny, fun conspiracy show. Who knows, though? Maybe I'm wrong and
00:32:39.680 Trump is a time traveler. Have fun. Smash the like button, share the show and all that good
00:32:43.220 stuff. We're back tonight for Timcast IRL, talking about all of this and more. Thanks again,
00:32:48.580 and we'll see you all at 8 p.m.
