8.8 magnitude earthquake strikes in the Pacific Ocean, causing a tsunami that could reach as far south as South America. Tsunami warnings have been lifted in most of the United States and Canada, but some areas are still having tsunami warnings in effect. A volcano in Russia erupts, and some speculate it could be linked to an asteroid impact on the moon in 2032.

00:00:00.260 We've got this story breaking from The Independent.
00:00:04.400 Yesterday, we saw an 8.8 magnitude earthquake causing a tsunami across the entire Pacific.
00:00:12.080 The Pacific Islands, the Aleutians, Japan, Russia, the West Coast of the United States,
00:00:18.220 all receiving a warning.
00:00:19.760 A tsunami was coming.
00:00:20.780 In fact, a prediction that even in the shores of South America, they would see parts remnants
00:00:28.240 of this tsunami reaching as far down, again, as South America.
00:00:33.340 Following this, initially reported as an 8, it was upgraded to an 8.7 and an 8.8, making
00:00:38.420 it the sixth largest earthquake on record.
00:00:43.860 Now, that's just on record.
00:00:44.820 We've been tracking it for 100 years.
00:00:46.100 This has, of course, been crazier earthquakes.
00:00:48.560 But so long as we've been recording this, this is one of the biggest.
00:00:52.180 Next, following this news, a volcano in Russia, the Klyuchevsky volcano erupted.
00:01:01.280 And not just that, the tsunami warnings remain in effect and have been in effect all day.
00:01:09.480 So this is important news for everybody that is currently tracking this.
00:01:13.960 There is still advisories.
00:01:16.920 And I believe the warnings have largely been lifted.
00:01:19.960 You can see that the threat is there.
00:01:21.760 I believe the threat is international.
00:01:25.300 And then of the U.S. and Canada, the warnings are—so we can actually see this.
00:01:30.760 So in Papua New Guinea, between 0.3 and 1 meter, we've seen videos now of the tsunami
00:01:37.840 making landfall.
00:01:39.620 And it doesn't appear, based on what we've seen so far, to be the worst tsunami ever.
00:01:44.860 With advanced warning, many people were able to get to safety.
00:01:47.920 There's one video of what appears to be a six-foot surge.
00:01:52.020 And it seems most people were okay.
00:01:54.300 Now, there was breaking news coming out of Hawaii that early on, police were blocking a private road
00:02:01.280 owned by Oprah Winfrey.
00:02:02.420 However, the road was eventually opened.
00:02:05.880 And I believe Oprah issued a statement on this.
00:02:07.860 But where things are getting interesting, we've got a handful of stories for you guys.
00:02:11.380 The tsunami has hit California, Oregon, and Washington.
00:02:15.300 We've got video and updates.
00:02:16.380 We'll play for you in a second. 0.77
00:02:17.080 You want to know where it gets interesting?
00:02:20.060 Again, the volcanic eruption is massive.
00:02:23.160 Check this out.
00:02:24.780 Two accounts going viral right now for having predicted.
00:02:29.920 Now, okay, I'll be light with you guys.
00:02:32.380 They were light predictions.
00:02:34.040 They didn't say, on this date, this will happen.
00:02:36.100 But they said, I believe this may happen soon.
00:02:39.460 And you know what?
00:02:40.740 You get a million people, a million monkeys on typewriters.
00:02:43.980 Eventually, some of them will get something right.
00:02:45.560 So, who knows what this means?
00:02:48.240 But it could be serious.
00:02:50.120 Then in North Dakota, they had to issue a warning that there was no threat of a tsunami
00:02:54.280 in their landlocked state, which was weird.
00:02:57.240 Sure.
00:02:58.520 And my favorite story on this.
00:03:00.400 Potential asteroid impact on moon in 2032.
00:03:04.160 Well, what I can tell you, my friends,
00:03:06.320 some are saying the stories about alien objects heading to the U.S.
00:03:12.160 I'm sorry, to the Earth.
00:03:13.220 One of which could be a hostile alien spacecraft.
00:03:16.900 Some have said it's just a distraction from the Epstein stuff.
00:03:19.580 Every time a big story's happened, they're like, oh, look, aliens.
00:03:21.980 We get it.
00:03:23.460 Earthquake?
00:03:24.780 Not so much.
00:03:26.260 The first thing we should do, let's take a look at these videos of the tsunami hitting.
00:03:30.180 We have this clip from Newsweek.
00:03:32.340 Check it out.
00:03:34.260 This is, I think we're muted here.
00:03:36.200 I don't know.
00:03:36.660 We're not.
00:03:37.460 There's no sound anyway.
00:03:38.660 Oh, there it is.
00:03:39.380 There we go.
00:03:40.740 So this is, I believe this is Russia.
00:03:43.900 And you can see the massive waves pouring in.
00:03:48.560 Take a look at this.
00:03:49.540 Wow.
00:03:50.360 Honolulu.
00:03:50.680 Everybody's trying to evacuate.
00:04:00.580 Some people are still out there in the water.
00:04:02.380 There was a crazy video showing the water receding back 100 plus feet.
00:04:07.480 When that happens, you run.
00:04:10.360 Because it means a tsunami's coming.
00:04:13.420 Take a look at this from the Independent.
00:04:15.460 Volcano in Russia's Far East starts erupting.
00:04:18.420 So I don't know if this is actual video of it.
00:04:21.300 This might be.
00:04:23.840 Okay, that's just annoying music.
00:04:27.240 What is this?
00:04:27.820 Camacho Branch, it says.
00:04:29.340 Moment the volcano erupts.
00:04:31.040 Check that out. 1.00
00:04:31.600 We don't need that stupid music. 1.00
00:04:32.760 So for those that are watching right now, you can just see this grainy video footage. 1.00
00:04:36.760 It's black and white.
00:04:38.500 And you can see the volcanic eruption.
00:04:41.080 Very, very obviously tied to this earthquake.
00:04:43.600 They say scientists described the descent of burning hot lava down the slopes of one of the world's highest active volcanoes.
00:04:51.480 Hours after a huge 8.8 earthquake rocked the region.
00:04:54.780 Kliuchevskoy, which has erupted several times over recent years, is located approximately 280 miles north of the Petropavlovsk-Komachki, the regional capital.
00:05:09.140 The Russian Academy of Sciences, United Geophysical Service, confirmed the eruption, stating on Telegram,
00:05:13.680 a descent of burning hot lava is observed on the western slope.
00:05:17.040 Powerful glow from the volcano.
00:05:20.100 This is where it gets interesting.
00:05:21.940 The conspiracy theories.
00:05:23.240 Take a look at this post.
00:05:25.780 This is a tweet from Priyanka, astrotherapist1. 0.62
00:05:31.440 Maybe she's a crazy lady who got something right. 1.00
00:05:34.040 Like I mentioned, a million monkeys and typewriters, and eventually they'll make a prediction.
00:05:37.760 This post is from June 13th.
00:05:41.800 It is now July 30th.
00:05:43.580 Of course, the earthquake was the 29th.
00:05:46.420 Upcoming huge earthquake and or tsunami warning.
00:05:50.020 She writes, you can copy, paste, call it fear-mundering or business-seeking or whatever.
00:05:56.080 I don't care anymore.
00:05:57.160 I will do what I meant to do.
00:05:59.340 One important event I want to talk about today.
00:06:02.360 There is no need to get panicked.
00:06:03.820 Just prepare yourself in case.
00:06:05.800 I've been comparing the three dates when major tsunamis hit the U.S., December 26th, 2004, March 11th, 2011, and September 28th, 2018.
00:06:15.740 I've been studying the charts of these dates as well as studying charts of the upcoming dates.
00:06:21.180 I have seen a lot of similarities, a few of which is below.
00:06:25.460 The chart of the coming dates contains multiple recurring themes from the previous tsunami dates.
00:06:30.200 Fiery Mars-Ketu conjunction in Leo.
00:06:34.060 What?
00:06:34.660 There's more.
00:06:38.380 Strong water replacements with retro Saturn in Pisces.
00:06:42.840 Huh?
00:06:44.720 Moon in a critical nakshatra.
00:06:47.720 Hold on there a minute, lady. 1.00
00:06:49.580 Are you telling me that you're looking at planetary alignment and star charts and stuff like that to predict an earthquake?
00:06:56.360 Well, she gave a broad window and was right.
00:06:59.740 And here's the thing.
00:07:00.520 This is the sixth biggest earthquake on record.
00:07:04.800 It'd be one thing if she was like, look, a 3.1 somewhere. 0.98
00:07:08.240 It's earthquakes all the time.
00:07:11.500 A Jupiter in Ardra, a nakshatra of chaos.
00:07:17.400 So if I see an overall structure, I feel from June 25th, July 31st, there are high chances of a huge earthquake and tsunami coming.
00:07:27.260 She got it right.
00:07:28.900 Come on, man.
00:07:31.500 The dates can be a couple of days ahead or later.
00:07:34.160 If you have plans, travel to eastern countries, to India or the western coast of America.
00:07:38.740 Please be careful.
00:07:40.580 What?
00:07:41.560 She nailed it.
00:07:43.760 Okay.
00:07:45.180 If she had come out and said explicitly on July 29th, there's going to be a Pacific earthquake and tsunami.
00:07:51.340 Then I'd be substantially more impressed.
00:07:53.360 Still, it is really interesting that she said, in these two regions, in this month period, I'm predicting a major earthquake and tsunami.
00:08:04.200 And it happened.
00:08:06.760 Now, let me be a little bit skeptical, my friends.
00:08:11.160 How many other people made predictions and we didn't pull up their tweets?
00:08:14.480 That was the point about the monkeys.
00:08:16.000 I bet you there's a thousand other people who was in an earthquake, a thunderstorm, a meteor strike, and none of it ever happens.
00:08:22.960 And the only reason this one's gone viral is because it happens to be the one that she got right.
00:08:27.580 But I'm going to refresh on this and see if there's been any updates.
00:08:30.960 Because, again, this post is from June 13th.
00:08:33.660 It's got 343,000.
00:08:35.700 And there are a lot of people just like, eh, don't believe it.
00:08:39.880 She says, I deal with people daily.
00:08:42.320 And now here's a funny one.
00:08:44.200 This post was deleted by the author.
00:08:46.480 So now will you take your words back?
00:08:49.200 Yes, I am deleting the post.
00:08:51.460 Unlike most things of this nature, this post actually aged well on X.
00:08:59.560 A lot of people are saying, whoa, she was completely correct.
00:09:04.600 Interesting.
00:09:05.340 Every seven years.
00:09:07.800 Could it be a scientific explanation for this?
00:09:11.320 Some people think so.
00:09:13.180 There are people who believe that the position of the sun, the apogee or perigee of the moon, and other planets,
00:09:19.080 these gravitational waves, do hit the Earth.
00:09:23.340 And it's possible.
00:09:25.660 Gravitational waves or whatever you want to call them, I don't know.
00:09:27.700 I'm not an astrophysicist.
00:09:29.620 But the general idea is, if the moon can cause the tides,
00:09:33.180 the gravitational pull of other celestial bodies does affect the Earth.
00:09:37.780 And perhaps when there's an alignment, there is energy emitted,
00:09:42.620 and it's going to pull on a tectonic plate or whatever and trigger that earthquake.
00:09:47.160 Over seven years, it gets jammed together.
00:09:51.060 The energy is building up.
00:09:52.860 And then when this alignment happens, it releases the energy and you get a massive earthquake.
00:09:59.140 Maybe.
00:09:59.840 I mean, who am I?
00:10:00.340 I don't know.
00:10:00.700 I have no idea.
00:10:02.240 It is interesting, though.
00:10:03.680 But wait, there's more.
00:10:06.220 The Canadian earthquake researcher, this guy, MX Don DeVivo,
00:10:11.040 he says, plates now fully locked globally, incoming magnitude 10, global mega quake in Japan.
00:10:19.360 In Ja Almighty, we trust Hakuna Matata.
00:10:21.480 Namaste.
00:10:23.000 He tweeted this.
00:10:24.760 This post is from July 24th.
00:10:28.940 It's crazy.
00:10:30.560 Now, he didn't exactly predict this.
00:10:33.020 He was predicting you would see a foreshock followed by certain things.
00:10:37.820 But five days before an 8.8, he said, he said, when this event, they call it the Calabra,
00:10:47.220 the Calabra event, a massive quake, you will see this earthquake.
00:10:51.720 He says, important news.
00:10:55.980 I am now 95% certain to know when the mega quake is just days away.
00:11:01.320 Even if these don't all go exactly as expected, but most likely do,
00:11:05.620 the mega quake is unlikely to happen by surprise.
00:11:09.240 Aside from a foreshock of M8.7 to 9.0, markets are likely to react.
00:11:16.160 Now, okay, the markets aren't reacting to this quake, so he's not exactly correct.
00:11:21.860 This one's just very interesting that five days before an 8.8, he said,
00:11:29.140 when the mega quake comes, there will be this massive earthquake.
00:11:34.140 Now, to be fair, he's talking about the Calabra event.
00:11:37.620 Let me pull this one up if you guys aren't familiar with it.
00:11:41.100 There's a lot of scientific data on this one, actually.
00:11:43.100 It's not just all conspiracy hubbub nonsense.
00:11:47.320 Conspiracy is the wrong word, you know.
00:11:50.580 We've got this from Penn.edu.
00:11:53.820 Evidence for possible precursor events of megathrust earthquakes.
00:11:58.480 And then we have, here's another one from Science Direct.
00:12:02.080 A megathrust earthquake as a source of pre-Columbian tsunami and lesser Antilles.
00:12:07.760 Sediment deposit modeling.
00:12:09.060 Mega quakes are real things.
00:12:10.080 And there have been numerous reports about the potential or evidence that we could face one coming soon.
00:12:16.700 So the Calabra event, for those that don't know, we'll just pull it up right here.
00:12:21.220 I got the Google search for you guys.
00:12:23.460 They say, it's a theory not widely accepted.
00:12:26.740 That proposed a potential magnitude 10 megathrust earthquake in Japan, potentially causing a massive tsunami and disrupting global trade.
00:12:36.880 This theory is based on work of earthquake researcher Brent, how do you say, Dimitrik, who believes that the locking of tectonic plates in the region is building up to a catastrophic release of energy.
00:12:47.680 A magnitude 10 earthquake is exceptionally rare and would be significantly more powerful than even very large earthquakes.
00:12:57.140 Megathrust earthquakes occur at subduction zones where one tectonic plate slides beneath another and can cause massive displacement of the ocean floor, leading to tsunamis.
00:13:07.580 Dimitrik suggests that specific precursors such as large foreshocks, magnitude 8.7 and 9.0, usually market liquidity drains and a sharp rise in the T10Y3M yield curve could indicate an imminent event.
00:13:25.160 The theory proposes that such an event could cause a massive tsunami, disrupt global trade and have far reaching consequences.
00:13:31.260 It's gained traction online.
00:13:33.920 It is not, however, widely accepted by mainstream seismologists.
00:13:37.900 The name Calebra is not explained in the search results.
00:13:40.600 It appears to be a term coined by Dimitrik.
00:13:43.020 They say it's crucial to remember that the Calebra event is not a scientific consensus, blah, blah, blah.
00:13:47.940 Okay, so I actually have to make the argument.
00:13:50.200 This guy's probably wrong.
00:13:52.320 Probably wrong.
00:13:54.620 And I'm assuming they're referring to this guy.
00:13:57.920 I don't know, Don DeVivo.
00:13:59.020 Is this the Dimitrik guy?
00:14:01.980 If we start to see the markets drain and mass sell-offs following, okay, I'll put it this way.
00:14:09.280 Here's why I thought it would be funny to highlight this.
00:14:12.080 If the markets start reacting negatively to this earthquake, you know, again, it's only Wednesday.
00:14:19.500 Then I'm going to start getting nervous.
00:14:21.360 But as of right now, as far as I can tell, we good.
00:14:25.280 I'm not seeing anything in the markets.
00:14:26.460 I'm not seeing any news about this.
00:14:27.760 Let me just check the old, yeah, trading today is fine.
00:14:34.940 A lot of ups.
00:14:36.420 Seems good.
00:14:37.900 Hate to say it.
00:14:38.900 Actually, love to say it.
00:14:40.240 Guy's probably just wrong making these predictions.
00:14:43.740 So I don't think we're going to see anything.
00:14:45.760 I don't think it's the apocalypse.
00:14:48.940 I think the reality is just for these predictions.
00:14:52.840 A million monkeys on typewriters will make a prediction, right?
00:14:56.580 Shout out to Superman, which was just awful when they had the monkeys typing on typewriters.
00:15:02.080 And then this, you know, we'll highlight this briefly before we get to the next article about, you know, a giant meteor coming and slamming into the moon.
00:15:10.720 Weather Service assures North Dakotans there is no threat of tsunami in landlocked state.
00:15:16.020 Huh?
00:15:18.120 Sure.
00:15:18.860 They said National Weather Service, Grand Forks.
00:15:23.100 There is no threat for tsunami impacts in North Dakota.
00:15:27.080 If you're in a coastal area under threat, however, check tsunami.gov for up to date information and with local officials for any evacuation orders.
00:15:35.720 The fact that this is needed to be said is wild.
00:15:37.800 Reactive Fox News national correspondent Bill Malugan.
00:15:41.060 While meteorologist Chris Martz questioned North Dakota is between 750 and 3,506 feet above sea level.
00:15:48.020 And its westernmost point is about 950 miles from the Pacific Ocean. 0.97
00:15:51.920 Are people there seriously that dumb that they think a tsunami could impact them?
00:15:58.360 The Honolulu Department of Emergency Management advised Hawaiians to get to buildings at least 10 stories tall on Tuesday after warning that a tsunami was expected to hit around 717 local time. 0.96
00:16:09.460 Tsunami advisories were also issued along the West Coast from Port Angeles in Washington state to San Diego, along with the U.S. Pacific territories of Guam and American Samoa.
00:16:19.680 Crazy.
00:16:20.280 The question that I have for everybody else, as we advance to the back half of this segment.
00:16:26.340 What is that?
00:16:27.100 What's going on?
00:16:28.800 Potential asteroid impact on moon in 2032 could trigger massive meteor shower on Earth.
00:16:34.160 Uh-huh.
00:16:35.280 Okay.
00:16:36.040 Can I pull up the hostile alien attack one?
00:16:39.080 Hostile.
00:16:40.200 Possible.
00:16:41.280 Hostile.
00:16:42.000 Alien.
00:16:42.580 Attack.
00:16:43.320 Are you kidding me?
00:16:44.340 Rare interstellar object the size of Manhattan could be an alien probe.
00:16:50.560 Oh, they changed their headline, did they?
00:16:53.460 Uh, come on.
00:16:54.520 Show me the hostile alien attack.
00:16:56.500 What, did you get rid of it?
00:16:58.360 The, uh, let's see.
00:16:59.660 The hypothesis is that it's, this object is a technological artifact and furthermore is active intelligence.
00:17:06.080 Is this the image?
00:17:07.300 Take a look at this thing.
00:17:08.800 Uh, many people were citing Umwamwa, who was the name of the other one.
00:17:13.040 The paper presented several anomalous characteristics, which could indicate that it is not a comment at all, but instead a directed craft.
00:17:19.580 Yeah.
00:17:19.840 Did they get rid of the, uh, hostile portion of this?
00:17:23.920 They, they, they, aw, come on.
00:17:25.660 That's sad, New York Post.
00:17:26.880 Don't do that.
00:17:27.980 Don't do that.
00:17:28.600 We all remember.
00:17:30.040 Let me, uh, let me pull this up and see if we can find the archive.
00:17:33.020 We don't, we don't play that game, New York Post.
00:17:34.880 You can't take back what you said.
00:17:37.400 Here we go.
00:17:39.260 Uh, let's see.
00:17:41.220 Here's the original headline.
00:17:44.180 Possibly hostile alien threat detected an unknown interstellar object.
00:17:48.360 Here's another one.
00:17:48.940 I think it's the same one.
00:17:51.360 Hostile alien threat. 0.74
00:17:54.200 A hostile alien.
00:17:56.700 Okay, guys.
00:17:58.240 Sure.
00:17:59.980 Um, maybe.
00:18:01.320 Um, I, I don't know that I'd believe that it would be hostile.
00:18:05.820 You know, if aliens do exist and they do come here, I'd imagine they're substantially more advanced than us.
00:18:13.940 And there's no reason, really.
00:18:16.560 Well, you know, one could put it this way.
00:18:20.740 Humans are pretty good at doing specialized labor.
00:18:22.800 If, uh, we found a planet of a bunch of humanoid creatures that could learn and do tasks, would we not enslave them? 1.00
00:18:32.300 Enslave?
00:18:32.700 We'd have them work for each other and perform tasks and live their lives.
00:18:36.180 But they would produce things we wanted, like a chicken coop. 0.99
00:18:39.840 It's an interesting thought, right?
00:18:41.560 It's the answer to Fermi's paradox I call the chicken coop hypothesis.
00:18:45.360 To be fair, they call it the great zoo, but I don't care for that very much.
00:18:49.180 The great zoo hypothesis is that, for those that are familiar with Fermi's paradox, if the universe is so big and life is possible, why have we not encountered it?
00:18:58.280 Sooner or later, something would be producing signs of life, right?
00:19:01.000 And there's many theories.
00:19:02.500 One is the great filter.
00:19:04.100 Every intelligent civilization destroys themselves before getting to the point of interstellar exploration or signals.
00:19:09.300 Then there's many, many more.
00:19:12.840 And then there's also the great zoo hypothesis, the galactic zoo hypothesis, that Earth is basically just cordoned off by alien species, and they just look at us like a zoo.
00:19:23.200 And they watch us do things, and it's funny to them, like we do with other animals.
00:19:26.760 Maybe.
00:19:27.620 I like the galactic chicken coop theory, that humans are good at producing stuff.
00:19:32.260 Chickens produce eggs, we take them.
00:19:33.960 Again, if aliens found Earth and found a bunch of humans milling about doing dumb stuff, they could be like, hey, if we breed these things, they'll get stuff for us.
00:19:42.660 And we need cobalt.
00:19:44.120 We need magnesium.
00:19:45.940 We need finer elements.
00:19:47.560 So, let's go.
00:19:49.480 Then when we start building nukes, aliens are like, nah, knock it off.
00:19:52.480 Like when the chickens start fighting, we go in there and say, hey, knock it off.
00:19:55.120 We stop them.
00:19:56.420 I don't think that's actually reality, but, you know, who knows, right?
00:20:00.140 Now we got this story from Fox Weather.
00:20:01.880 Here, potential asteroid impact on the moon in 2032 could trigger massive meteor shower on Earth.
00:20:08.600 They say, what happens if an asteroid the size of a 15-story building crashes into the moon in 2032?
00:20:14.660 While the chances of the newly discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the moon in seven years are slim, there is currently a 96% chance it won't happen.
00:20:25.040 An impact of this size would not come without consequences for the moon, astronauts in space orbiting the Earth.
00:20:31.880 A new study submitted for review by scientists with the University of Western Ontario and Athabasca University in Canada took observations from the James Webb Space Telescope of asteroid 2024 YR4
00:20:43.800 and used simulations to show how much lunar debris would be ejected out into space, sending pieces of the moon toward Earth.
00:20:53.020 After its initial discovery late last year, the asteroid appeared to have a small chance of impacting Earth, warranting international attention.
00:20:59.760 And jumping to the highest asteroid threat ever given on the Torino impact hazard scale.
00:21:06.140 By February, more ground-based observations of the asteroid helped clear the threat to Earth, but the moon still faces a possible impact.
00:21:13.180 So the moon is going to shield us? Is that what happens?
00:21:15.500 Earlier this year, NASA James Webb Space Telescope helped scientists determine that the asteroid is between 175 and 220 feet in diameter.
00:21:24.040 If it crashes into the moon, it would create a crater more than half a mile in diameter, becoming the largest impact in about 5,000 years, according to the study.
00:21:32.700 Current calculations show if it happens, an impact would occur on the southern hemisphere.
00:21:36.960 The researchers said the impact would threaten satellites in low Earth orbit for days or up to a few months and send a fraction of the ejecta towards Earth.
00:21:48.900 Any lunar debris that makes it within Earth's atmosphere could create a meteor shower over the planet.
00:21:53.940 The resulting meteor shower could last a few days and be spectacular.
00:21:57.520 The number of visible meteor is somewhat muted by the low entry speed of the ejecta.
00:22:01.300 With more than 10,000 active satellites in low Earth orbit and more than 25,000 pieces of space junk, researchers believe an asteroid strike to the moon could spell trouble for satellite operators.
00:22:12.780 You guys want to know something crazy?
00:22:15.320 Did you know that there are satellites in orbit that are defunct?
00:22:21.480 They're still operating, but the companies that put them up there don't exist.
00:22:25.460 So hackers have been breaking into the satellites and commandeering them because they're still in orbit.
00:22:31.300 Doing whatever with no claim from the Earth.
00:22:35.040 It's pretty wild, huh?
00:22:37.140 And there's probably 10,000 or more floating around solar powered and doing nothing.
00:22:45.080 Hackers are just like, OK, let's find them.
00:22:48.000 Nobody claims them.
00:22:48.920 We take them.
00:22:50.500 And then you can use them for whatever.
00:22:54.460 They say given the very large total exposed area for satellites in 2032,
00:22:57.680 it becomes possible that hundreds of thousands of impacts for the millimeter-sized debris ejected by a lunar impact in 2024 will be experienced across the entire satellite fleet.
00:23:07.300 Such impacts may damage satellites but are small enough to generally not end active missions or cause breakups.
00:23:13.420 The researchers say material from the moon could be a serious hazard to moon-orbiting spacecraft such as NASA's Lunar Gateway,
00:23:19.600 a planned orbiting station for astronauts, and even greater danger to any lunar surface operations.
00:23:27.460 It has so far moved behind the sun, limiting any new observations until 2028.
00:23:32.540 Scientists say those new observations in a few years will help improve lunar impact predictions.
00:23:37.820 You know what I'm curious about for sci-fi movies?
00:23:43.200 We've made the movie, like, we have the movie Deep Impact.
00:23:46.580 There's going to be a comet.
00:23:47.860 It's going to crash into the earth and kill everybody.
00:23:49.800 So they go to the comet and they try to put bombs in it to make it go a different direction, whatever.
00:23:55.500 In all of these movies, spaceships are shooting lasers at each other.
00:23:59.300 So, but considering the difficulty in moving these objects and launching in space,
00:24:06.060 could there not be a sci-fi where one alien race wanting to conquer another planet
00:24:12.440 gets a 10-mile-wide asteroid, applies over a very long period of time a low amount of energy
00:24:20.360 shifting its trajectory straight to the planet?
00:24:23.180 Now, I know that in Starship Troopers, the bugs basically did this.
00:24:27.920 So it's clever.
00:24:29.760 They launched a giant rock, flung it at Earth, and destroyed Buenos Aires.
00:24:34.220 I think there's an interesting sci-fi concept we don't often hear about that.
00:24:37.960 The reason I bring it up is they talk about hostile alien intentions on Earth.
00:24:41.400 So Earth has got a bunch of resources.
00:24:44.320 You want it.
00:24:45.780 So you can't just take an asteroid the size of Manhattan and throw it in an instant.
00:24:51.860 But if you apply a small amount of energy over a long period of time,
00:24:56.040 you can start to change its trajectory and line it up so that it will head right to Earth.
00:25:02.420 And a simple computer can probably calculate that.
00:25:06.360 Just wondering, if aliens attack Earth, is it going to be a spaceship coming down
00:25:10.800 and blowing us up with lasers?
00:25:13.820 Or would they do other things?
00:25:15.740 Bombing the moon.
00:25:16.440 Now, here's a story that I find interesting as we just, I grabbed a bunch of these stories.
00:25:22.820 This is from the 19th, and it says,
00:25:25.400 Humanity has dammed so much water, it's shifted Earth's magnetic poles.
00:25:29.120 And here's this from the pulse.
00:25:32.860 Scientists are warned.
00:25:34.780 Earth's magnetic pole is changing because of something at the core.
00:25:38.820 Maybe, my friends.
00:25:42.020 Now, I got to tell you, I got to tell you, the Adam and Eve theory, mud flood theory, 0.98
00:25:47.420 are you familiar with these?
00:25:49.280 They're not so much conspiracies, because conspiracy implies that people are colluding to do something.
00:25:54.900 They're just kind of just weird ideas.
00:25:58.140 The theory, the Adam and Eve theory is that every 6,000 or so years,
00:26:01.920 Earth's poles shift and it causes the planet, 1.00
00:26:05.100 or whatever causes the pole shift coincides with the planet axis tilting, 90 or so degrees.
00:26:11.820 When that happens rapidly, the water gets thrown around the whole planet, causing a great flood.
00:26:18.060 Waves of hundreds of feet.
00:26:21.020 So, the planet twists and the water moves and then just keeps going.
00:26:27.740 The great flood slams around the planet, lasting for about a month or so.
00:26:31.440 And then, civilization is wiped out in a great flood.
00:26:37.380 But have you ever seen the videos of a flood, my friends?
00:26:40.240 And what happens when the water recedes?
00:26:42.480 A thick coat of mud is all over the ground.
00:26:46.040 Because the water is containing dust, sediment, dirt, whatever.
00:26:50.460 And when the water starts to recede, that sediment stays and forms a coat, a layer of mud over everything.
00:26:57.480 Not always, but typically.
00:26:58.460 Mud flood theory states that there was a great civilization of the Earth, thousands of years ago.
00:27:04.900 And that a great flood happened.
00:27:07.260 A massive flood.
00:27:08.860 Hundreds of feet.
00:27:10.000 And it carried this big wave of mud.
00:27:12.920 Covered up all the buildings.
00:27:15.500 The great empire of Tartaria, they call it.
00:27:18.840 The theory states that we are not building these structures in big cities, but we reclaimed them.
00:27:24.640 To certain degrees.
00:27:26.980 You know what it is?
00:27:27.420 Fascinating.
00:27:28.460 Some of the evidence they cite is that there are old buildings that appear to be hundreds of years old.
00:27:33.700 And they have doors buried.
00:27:37.280 It's true.
00:27:38.060 They exist.
00:27:39.220 And it's kind of weird.
00:27:41.120 I don't know.
00:27:41.900 Maybe there's an explanation for it.
00:27:43.220 But I've seen buildings in person.
00:27:45.520 Where there's a door frame cut out.
00:27:47.320 And only the top two feet of the door is exposed in the sidewalk next to it.
00:27:51.860 And you're like, it is weird they built a building like that.
00:27:56.540 Chicago, of course, has been elevated.
00:27:58.280 Three stories.
00:27:59.500 You got lower, lower, whacker, whatever they call it.
00:28:01.700 It's kind of crazy to see when you're driving in Chicago and you can see the door to a building is actually like 40 feet in the air.
00:28:08.240 The theory states that coincide that after this great flood, most of humanity is killed every 6,000 years and the survivors then carry on to start rebuilding.
00:28:20.000 Maybe.
00:28:21.900 Maybe.
00:28:23.360 What do I know?
00:28:24.920 All this weather stuff is fun, though.
00:28:27.520 I hope everyone's taking it very seriously that we have this earthquake and the tsunami and the volcanic eruption.
00:28:35.840 You know, they are predicting the big one.
00:28:38.260 You've got Yellowstone, Caldera.
00:28:40.700 You've got the potential for the big one, San Andreas Fault.
00:28:45.000 The Pacific Rim could give off a massive earthquake as well.
00:28:47.940 So, these disasters are predicted.
00:28:49.960 Solar flare, they do happen.
00:28:52.640 And they have happened before.
00:28:54.060 The question is, will they happen in our lifetimes?
00:28:57.200 I don't know.
00:28:58.740 But I'm going to wrap it there, my friends.
00:28:59.940 Smash the like button.
00:29:00.880 Share the show with everyone you know.
00:29:02.840 Thanks for tuning in.

00:29:10.380 We're going to be rating our good friend Russell Brand in just a moment.
00:29:13.240 But I think, you know, we've got a bit of super chats for you.
00:29:18.660 I'm sorry, Rumble Rants. 0.94
00:29:20.180 Pardon me.
00:29:22.080 We'll read for you at the last minute or so.
00:29:25.040 Pinochet says, the only way out of this is a civil war.
00:29:27.940 Starts in Massachusetts where the corrupt, guilty, rich Democrats are all disarmed.
00:29:32.120 Interesting.
00:29:33.660 Free Speech for Life says, kinetic revolution.
00:29:37.060 Very interesting.
00:29:37.800 Amtru says, this one volcano puts out more CO2 in one day than all the countries on Earth
00:29:43.780 produce in a year.
00:29:45.240 Not to mention water vapor.
00:29:48.280 Here's another.
00:29:48.980 This is interesting.
00:29:49.440 I saw this story.
00:29:50.860 A rogue patriot says, hey, Tim, something off topic.
00:29:53.140 MasterCard and Visa are going after distributors like Steam, threatening them.
00:29:56.660 They will remove services due to a group like Collective Shout because of not safe for
00:30:00.600 work materials.
00:30:01.820 Yeah, they're banning adult content.
00:30:04.000 I saw this.
00:30:04.600 It's pretty crazy.
00:30:05.220 Visa and MasterCard basically telling these companies, we'll pull your processing unless
00:30:10.420 you ban content we don't like.
00:30:12.820 Guys, we've been warning about this.
00:30:16.060 That's why TimCast.com uses parallel economy.
00:30:19.020 Because these payment processors will shut you down. 0.53
00:30:22.120 Take a look at Michael Knowles on Stripe.
00:30:23.940 They said a legally binding action causing to shut down his Stripe account.
00:30:27.900 Very, very strange stuff, my friends.
00:30:29.760 Very strange.
00:30:30.980 But let's get that raid on Russell Brand up.
00:30:35.220 I believe he's about to go live.
00:30:37.020 So let's, I always pull up his channel here.
00:30:40.120 Upcoming.
00:30:41.080 We're going to get ready to go with this.
00:30:44.860 And we'll send y'all on your way to hang out with Russell Brand.
00:30:48.960 My friends, smash that like button once again.
00:30:51.200 We're back tonight at 8 p.m. for TimCast IRL.
00:30:54.040 Let's see what we got in the lineup.
00:30:55.000 I believe we have Terrence Pop will be joining us on TimCast IRL.
00:31:00.100 So you don't want to miss it.
00:31:00.700 It's going to be fun.
00:31:02.300 You can find me on Instagram at TimCast.
00:31:04.400 Pick up Cast Brew Coffee.
00:31:06.000 We want to see you this Saturday in D.C.
00:31:08.300 It was massive.
00:31:09.740 We had, I think we had like 120 or some odd people.
00:31:13.020 It was, and it was packed.
00:31:15.920 So it was, you know, tables were huge.
00:31:18.840 One of the employees there autographed a mustard.
00:31:21.400 Mustard, so basically they had a big bin full of mustards and ketchup.
00:31:25.440 And Andy's walking and he goes, hey, yo, let me get a mustard.
00:31:27.840 And the guy laughed and threw a mustard.
00:31:29.200 He was like, I'm just kidding, man.
00:31:30.680 And then I was signing boards like, hey, sign the mustard.
00:31:33.640 And then I said, wait, wait, how about we sign the mustard, put it randomly on the table
00:31:37.480 and whoever gets it wins a free signed skateboard.
00:31:40.620 And that's what we did.
00:31:41.920 So we're going to have fun.
00:31:43.320 The great police debate this Saturday in D.C. at the Comedy Loft.
00:31:46.840 Check it out.
00:31:47.520 We'll see you there.
00:31:48.280 Thanks for hanging out.
00:31:48.940 And other than that, we'll see you at 8 p.m.
00:31:51.400 We'll see you there.
