Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Chinese "Spies" Indicted For Attempted BOMBING Of US Central Command, WW3 | Timcast IRL

00:01:23.000 A brother and sister have been indicted for planting a bomb outside of central command.

00:01:29.000 Apparently, they fled to China.

00:01:31.000 One may have been arrested.

00:01:32.000 Another individual is at large.

00:01:34.000 This story is crazy.

00:01:36.000 I'm surprised it's not the headline news everywhere because many people are saying very likely Chinese spies attacking the United States for some reason.

00:01:46.000 We also heard a story from a couple weeks ago that didn't get picked up.

00:01:49.000 Unauthorized drones flying over a U.S. Air Force base.

00:01:54.000 This is getting kind of weird.

00:01:55.000 So we'll talk about that, but we've got a bunch of massive news.

00:01:58.000 While Donald Trump is saying Iran is basically cooked and we're winding things down, we're also getting reports that we are just flattening more military sites in Iran.

00:02:07.000 Things are getting absolutely crazy down there.

00:02:10.000 And there is this great thread that outlines Donald Trump's plan for global domination.

00:02:18.000 Sounds crazy, but I think it's pretty much spot on.

00:02:22.000 We've talked quite a bit about Donald Trump's foreign policy plans.

00:02:26.000 And based on this breakdown, it looks like Iran is the last piece of the puzzle for Donald Trump.

00:02:33.000 And if his strategy plays out here, the U.S. will be the uniparty, I mean, I'm sorry, the unipolar global power, the hegemonic power, making America great again, I guess, in that way.

00:02:45.000 And we've got another crazy story.

00:02:47.000 Candace Owens went after Nick Shirley, which has a lot of people scratching their heads. 0.95

00:02:51.000 Of course, Nick Shirley has been doing amazing work exposing fraud in Democrat cities and states.

00:02:56.000 Candace Owens came out claiming that he was fake news and that he was fabricating stories.

00:03:01.000 We'll get into the details on that because it is weird.

00:03:03.000 And I actually have, the story that was in question was about Brazil.

00:03:07.000 I have first-hand experience there and I can corroborate Nick Shirley's reporting.

00:03:11.000 This is, this is a weird story, but we'll talk about that a whole lot more.

00:04:23.000 Good to see you.

00:04:23.000 Hi, Tim.

00:04:24.000 Thank you for having me.

00:04:25.000 Who are you?

00:04:25.000 Absolutely.

00:04:26.000 What do you do?

00:04:27.000 I'm great.

00:04:28.000 What do you do?

00:04:29.000 What do I do?

00:04:30.000 So I'm just a girl living in this living the American dream.

00:04:35.000 No, really.

00:04:36.000 We saw you.

00:04:36.000 Like a random person.

00:04:37.000 We were like, she looks good.

00:04:38.000 He saw me on the street.

00:04:39.000 No, I came to this country as a refugee, and so I'm living the American dream.

00:04:42.000 I've been a journalist.

00:04:43.000 I spent almost 20 years in mainstream media.

00:04:46.000 Gotta go back.

00:04:47.000 And I gotta go back.

00:04:49.000 I gotta go back.

00:04:50.000 Why am I going back?

00:04:50.000 I gotta go back.

00:04:52.000 No, I'm not going back.

00:04:53.000 This is my country.

00:04:54.000 And now I'm just doing my own thing, independent media, where it's at.

00:04:57.000 Right on.

00:04:58.000 I'm following in your footsteps.

00:04:59.000 Wonderful.

00:04:59.000 I appreciate what you've been doing.

00:05:00.000 I appreciate it.

00:05:01.000 It should be fun.

00:05:01.000 Of course, we got Carter, Ian, and Phil hanging out today.

00:05:04.000 What's up, homie? 1.00

00:05:05.000 Let's jump into the news.

00:05:07.000 We've got this from Fox 13.

00:05:08.000 Brother and sister charged after an explosive device was found outside MacDill Air Force Base.

00:05:14.000 Of course, this is the home of Central Command.

00:05:16.000 They say, according to the FBI, Alan Zhang, 20, faces multiple federal charges, including attempting to damage government property unlawfully, making a destructive device, and possessing an unregistered destructive device.

00:05:27.000 His sister, Anne Mary Zhang, 27, was booked on charges of witness tampering and acting as an accessory after the fact.

00:05:34.000 Quote, it was very, oh, I'm sorry, they say this.

00:05:36.000 The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Middle District of Florida said the investigation began on March 10th when a 911 call warned of a bomb near the base's visitor center.

00:05:44.000 At the time, no device had been located.

00:05:46.000 It was very short and very cryptic, but he said that a bomb had been placed on MacDill Air Force Base.

00:05:52.000 Quote, you have something in a secluded location and hidden in the visitor center, and it just took a little bit more time to get there.

00:05:58.000 If you're going to examine our more sensitive assets on the MacDill Air Force Base, not that the visitor center isn't an important asset, but obviously Central Command is there.

00:06:06.000 Six days later, they say an Air Force service member discovered a hidden explosive device near the visitor center.

00:06:12.000 Investigators later determined it was an improvised explosive device capable of causing serious harm or death.

00:06:18.000 Interesting.

00:06:19.000 Quote, why it didn't detonate at the time is a question we'd like to ask Mr. Shang.

00:06:23.000 Our last notification is that he is in the People's Republic of China as we speak.

00:06:27.000 Wow.

00:06:28.000 According to federal prosecutors, Alan Zhang purchased the phone used to make the threat at a best buy.

00:06:32.000 And surveillance video captured him making the purchase and using a vehicle later tied to the case.

00:06:37.000 This is nuts.

00:06:38.000 I mean, this is absolutely crazy.

00:06:39.000 We've got this from the DOJ's website.

00:06:42.000 We also have another story from Fox News: unauthorized drones detected over U.S. Air Force Base housing nuclear-capable B-52 bombers.

00:06:51.000 This is Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.

00:06:54.000 I believe we've got this great thread that I want to run through with you guys in a second.

00:06:59.000 We'll do it after this.

00:07:00.000 But I do believe that Iran is the final piece of Trump's foreign policy maneuver as it pertains to natural gas and oil.

00:07:08.000 And if Trump succeeds here, then I will put it this way.

00:07:13.000 We don't win instantly, right?

00:07:15.000 Succeeding in Iran doesn't mean the game is over.

00:07:17.000 Checkmate, we won.

00:07:19.000 It puts us at such an advantage that our adversaries, China, Russia, et cetera, will have no choice but slowly start bending to the will of the U.S. hegemonic authority.

00:07:30.000 Look, this is something that I actually think that if the U.S. is going to use hard power, this is what it should be for.

00:07:38.000 Control the energy control of the system.

00:07:39.000 Well, it should be doing things that are pro-America long term, right?

00:07:44.000 So there's been so many times that the U.S. has used military force to do things for other countries or do things that weren't in the U.S.'s best interest or weren't America first, essentially.

00:07:56.000 And even if you're an anti-war person, if you accept the narrative that's here, this is unquestionably America first. 0.53

00:08:04.000 And President Trump has talked, they're trying to make it seem that President Trump, why does he need to go into Iran?

00:08:04.000 Of course.

00:08:10.000 He's always talked about that Iran has been a threat for all these years.

00:08:13.000 There was a White House press briefing today, pretty much with Marco Rubio talking about it.

00:08:17.000 What was it?

00:08:18.000 Since 1979, they've been a threat.

00:08:20.000 And when they chant death to America, they're not just using words.

00:08:24.000 If they could launch a nuclear weapon into the United States, they would have done it yesterday.

00:08:30.000 And Donald Trump has been talking about it for years.

00:08:32.000 He hasn't changed his mind.

00:08:33.000 And this is America first. 0.85

00:08:34.000 And I think you have this different camp of America only and America first.

00:08:39.000 You cannot be without allies.

00:08:43.000 You can't isolate yourself completely.

00:08:45.000 I think the sad reality is I would argue that our generation, the millennials, have what Ian referred to as pissed, post-intervention stress disorder from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

00:09:00.000 I called it post-intervention stress disorder, and then Ian pointed out it was pissed.

00:09:02.000 What's it called?

00:09:03.000 Anagram.

00:09:03.000 I put the letters together.

00:09:03.000 I don't know.

00:09:05.000 Acronym?

00:09:05.000 Yeah.

00:09:05.000 Acronym.

00:09:06.000 And so my point is that we are very skeptical on these interventions because they did not work in the past.

00:09:11.000 That being said, there are two extreme camps here.

00:09:15.000 Certainly there are varying opinions somewhat in the middle, but you have people who are saying no intervention ever, no war.

00:09:22.000 We should be isolationist.

00:09:24.000 I'm not saying everybody who's anti-war is isolationist.

00:09:26.000 Certainly you're allowed to be critical of these interventions and wars.

00:09:29.000 I respect that.

00:09:30.000 But you have these dominant voices that are isolationist or that we should share power.

00:09:36.000 I'm not interested in sharing power.

00:09:39.000 I have no problem with soft power and leveraging our wealth and resources.

00:09:43.000 But if the alternative, if the choices I had was the U.S. is going to bow down, drop the curtain, and we are now second class to China.

00:09:53.000 Nope.

00:09:53.000 Hell no.

00:09:54.000 Nope.

00:09:54.000 Not how.

00:09:55.000 So I'm not saying our only option is war with Iran.

00:09:57.000 I'm not saying that.

00:09:58.000 But it does appear based on the moves Trump has made, he really is thinking about making America great again.

00:10:03.000 And that does include forcing everybody onto the petrodollar system, which admittedly I did not think was going to be a big component of his play early on.

00:10:13.000 Certainly, I thought he focused more on boosting our manufacturing and our population, but I think Trump learned an important lesson.

00:10:19.000 And that is one of the working theories is that the uniparty, the deep state, was intentionally ceding power to China to avoid World War III, to avoid what's called Thucydides' trap.

00:10:30.000 I think Trump gets in in the first term and says, no, no, we're going to get our jobs back.

00:10:35.000 We're going to build our borders up. 0.54

00:10:36.000 We're going to secure our borders.

00:10:37.000 We're going to bolster the American family.

00:10:39.000 And then he realized that our economy is propped up on the petrodollar.

00:10:43.000 And so before you do this, you have to secure that.

00:10:46.000 And the uniparty says, no, no, we're giving that up.

00:10:49.000 And Trump's like, no, So now war.

00:10:52.000 And well, and another thing, the amount of debt that the U.S. is in, right?

00:10:57.000 Like we owe so much money.

00:10:59.000 And the only way to guarantee that we don't have a significant default in the next five years is to make sure that there's a demand for dollars.

00:11:08.000 And the way to make sure that there's a demand for dollars is to make sure that the petro dollar is the currency that basically runs the world.

00:11:15.000 So this is more than just about Iran or even more than just about China.

00:11:19.000 This is about making sure that we don't default on our debt.

00:11:22.000 Right.

00:11:23.000 And also, I live in California and the gas prices, I mean, in general, are high.

00:11:27.000 Right now, we're almost up to $7.

00:11:29.000 And I tell people like, this is temporary.

00:11:31.000 And by the way, we have a lot of taxes.

00:11:33.000 We should not be paying $7.

00:11:33.000 Okay.

00:11:34.000 Okay.

00:11:35.000 At the highest, we should be paying $3 a gallon.

00:11:38.000 Eventually, it's going to come down.

00:11:40.000 I want to talk about China.

00:11:41.000 You were talking about what happened at that base.

00:11:44.000 I think we've been infiltrated.

00:11:46.000 Of course.

00:11:46.000 We've been infiltrated on so many different levels.

00:11:48.000 And, you know, we were reporting, I was reporting, you know, on the news that China's been buying up land in the United States near military bases.

00:11:56.000 And you were talking about, we were talking behind the scenes.

00:11:58.000 You're like, why isn't this on the news?

00:11:59.000 Why isn't this mainstream media?

00:12:01.000 That does not surprise me.

00:12:03.000 They don't talk about these big stories, but we've been infiltrated on many different levels here.

00:12:08.000 Yeah.

00:12:08.000 Wow.

00:12:09.000 And you have to wonder why they would plant these bombs.

00:12:12.000 What is the goal?

00:12:13.000 Who benefits?

00:12:14.000 Why do it?

00:12:15.000 And there's a couple different trains of thought, of course, always false flags come to mind.

00:12:19.000 But I wonder if it's just that Trump is about to tip the scale in such a way that it will not be reversed.

00:12:25.000 And so we are going to see desperate actions from infiltrators, from our adversaries and enemies.

00:12:30.000 If I understand correctly, there's a summit that Trump is meeting with Xi.

00:12:35.000 I believe they've moved it to May.

00:12:37.000 He did.

00:12:37.000 He put that out the other day.

00:12:38.000 I think yesterday.

00:12:39.000 The whole situation in Iran, particularly if they can get the Strait of Hormuz under control and get the situation in Iran basically, doesn't have to be one, but it has to be under control and not seem like it's spiraling out of control.

00:12:52.000 Xi's going to come to the table with nothing.

00:12:55.000 Well, Trump has talked about how he wants to isolate China.

00:12:57.000 He's been saying this for a couple of years now, and this is exactly what he's doing.

00:13:00.000 If you remember when I think it was Anthony Blinken met with the Chinese delegation, I think it was in Alaska, they specifically said, you are not negotiating from a place of power.

00:13:10.000 This is during the Biden administration.

00:13:11.000 They specifically said, you are not negotiating from a place of power.

00:13:15.000 Like, that is incredibly disrespectful.

00:13:18.000 It is trying to basically push the U.S. around.

00:13:22.000 And now, when President Trump meets with Xi, it's going to be 180 degrees.

00:13:28.000 He's totally flipped the table.

00:13:29.000 And Xi is going to be in a position where he's going to have to make deals with the U.S. that are favorable to the U.S., not to China.

00:13:36.000 And he's also taking on terrorism.

00:13:38.000 He wants to do deals with these Middle Eastern countries and be like, yo, the old school thought, let's put that to rest.

00:13:44.000 Like this thought of like jihadism.

00:13:46.000 He's trying his best to say, let's do business.

00:13:46.000 And he's trying.

00:13:48.000 And you do have moderate.

00:13:49.000 You have the UAE, you have the Saudis, and the Saudis are actually supporting Trump going after Iran.

00:13:55.000 And Qatar, not so much, because then Qatar is left on an island with a NBS has said, keep going after going, yeah.

00:14:03.000 It's totally in the U.S. society.

00:14:04.000 It's incredible, though, that you have these Arab nations who are coming out and supporting President Trump.

00:14:08.000 And today, President Trump said, NATO, where are you at?

00:14:11.000 You guys weren't anywhere.

00:14:12.000 Well, NATO's a defensive pact.

00:14:13.000 So I don't know.

00:14:14.000 Right.

00:14:15.000 But it's not a, no, one's asking them to trigger a defensive pact.

00:14:18.000 He's saying, you're our European allies.

00:14:21.000 Defensive alliance.

00:14:22.000 That's immaterial.

00:14:22.000 That's not what...

00:14:23.000 It's a defensive allies to an offensive war.

00:14:25.000 It has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

00:14:27.000 It has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

00:14:27.000 NATO is a defensive treaty.

00:14:29.000 Sometimes you disband a defensive treaty.

00:14:30.000 And you fundamentally misunderstand the point being made.

00:14:33.000 You don't call an offensive pact for an attack.

00:14:35.000 We're not triggering Article 5, NATO.

00:14:37.000 And what are they?

00:14:39.000 They're exactly where they were.

00:14:40.000 We are asking our allies to join us in the war.

00:14:43.000 That has nothing to do with Article 5.

00:14:45.000 It's a defensive alliance.

00:14:47.000 That's called Article 5, Ian.

00:14:48.000 You don't know what you're talking about.

00:14:50.000 NATO.

00:14:51.000 NATO.

00:14:51.000 Uh-huh.

00:14:52.000 Is there an offensive?

00:14:53.000 Article 5 of NATO triggers when NATO is attacked.

00:14:57.000 Is there an offensive alliance with NATO?

00:14:59.000 Yes.

00:15:00.000 So if one of us goes to war and attacks, the others have to, then there isn't one.

00:15:05.000 Are you won't have that?

00:15:06.000 Are you understanding what's going on, Phil?

00:15:08.000 Military alliance with them.

00:15:09.000 Are you understanding why there's a difference?

00:15:12.000 There have been multiple times in history where NATO forces have engaged.

00:15:17.000 Like they did in Libya. 0.95

00:15:20.000 Right.

00:15:20.000 And they didn't until, I think now they've stepped up and said yes, but Trump's like, we're already good.

00:15:24.000 He said, what did he say?

00:15:25.000 He said today on Fox News, we're flying over, flying all over Iran, like owning the airspace.

00:15:30.000 He's basically like, we've already won, pretty much.

00:15:33.000 Yeah, there's nobody left.

00:15:35.000 Nobody left.

00:15:36.000 Everybody's flat.

00:15:36.000 Mostaba, I gotta say, I think Mostaba is dead.

00:15:38.000 I hear men walking.

00:15:39.000 They even asked him, they even asked him today on Fox News.

00:15:41.000 Is he gay?

00:15:42.000 Is he gay?

00:15:43.000 He's like, that's what I'm told. 0.97

00:15:45.000 I think Mustaba is dead, and I think he died in the initial strikes.

00:15:48.000 100%.

00:15:49.000 But Iran can't come out and be like, there's no one left. 0.99

00:15:51.000 Because you know why?

00:15:52.000 There'll be a civil war.

00:15:53.000 Because right now there's like all this confusion going on as to like who's in charge.

00:15:56.000 Oh, Mustaba is. 0.72

00:15:58.000 You don't want civil war in that country either.

00:15:58.000 Let me.

00:16:00.000 No, I'll tell you something.

00:16:01.000 Osama bin Laden was hiding in a tunnel or whatever underground before the internet was a big thing.

00:16:08.000 And we got videos and audios of him.

00:16:10.000 Where's Mustaba? 0.88

00:16:12.000 Who's like, can't I think about that?

00:16:14.000 You know?

00:16:15.000 I think he died.

00:16:16.000 And that's why they haven't issued any statements.

00:16:18.000 They said he's been flown to Moscow.

00:16:20.000 Oh, they said that he's been flown to Moscow now?

00:16:21.000 That was one of the reports because his leg got injured.

00:16:23.000 Did you see how CNN's been covering it?

00:16:25.000 I think they're like the only mainstream media outlet that's there.

00:16:28.000 Well, it's because CNN's about to get purchased by CBS.

00:16:30.000 So they're reading the writing on the wall.

00:16:32.000 Ah.

00:16:33.000 Yep.

00:16:33.000 CBS bought by the Ellisons.

00:16:35.000 They bring in Barry Weiss and the free press.

00:16:38.000 Now CBS is doing a hostile takeover of Warner Brothers, and CNN is going to get chopped off and put under the fold of CBS, which would be crazy.

00:16:44.000 And so it's actually interesting that CNN is kind of moderating.

00:16:47.000 I think they know, they're like, guys, if you go far left and then CBS buys you, you're fired.

00:16:52.000 Well, they're already like laying off a ton of people now.

00:16:54.000 CNN.

00:16:55.000 I'm surprised anybody still works there.

00:16:57.000 I read, I don't know what to believe, but I read that Netanyahu was like, well, let's inspire the Iranian people to come out of their houses and revolt, like streets.

00:17:04.000 And then Trump was like, why would we do that?

00:17:04.000 And nobody did.

00:17:06.000 They'll get mowed down.

00:17:07.000 We don't have any oversight.

00:17:09.000 Yeah, and I'm sure you know this.

00:17:11.000 I mean, they were literally shooting people in their eyes.

00:17:14.000 Like in the middle of the day, during the protests, they started shooting people.

00:17:17.000 When they, what, 35,000 people were killed?

00:17:20.000 They were, they weren't just massacring people.

00:17:21.000 They were literally shooting them in the eyes.

00:17:23.000 Like they would walk up to them and put it in. 0.99

00:17:24.000 No, like they like, like they'd shoot you in your eyes, like die. 0.97

00:17:28.000 Like they've executed several young people for protesting. 0.98

00:17:32.000 It's pretty wild.

00:17:32.000 Yeah.

00:17:33.000 It's really, it's really bad.

00:17:34.000 And you know what they turned off the internet so that we would know about it.

00:17:37.000 I do want to stress, too, to always be careful with this stuff because you never know how much of it is war propaganda.

00:17:43.000 But I'll put it like this: you're always going to get these people who are anti-event interventionists, some of them feigning that, but they're actually just pro-Iran or pro-Russia or whatever.

00:17:53.000 I don't know that I believe 35,000.

00:17:55.000 You don't believe that number?

00:17:56.000 Well, I would say this.

00:17:58.000 You know, someone asked me, like, do you actually believe Iran killed a bunch of their people?

00:18:01.000 I'm like, definitely.

00:18:02.000 Because they've done it before and we've seen videos of it.

00:18:05.000 Now, the number may be where they're flubbing things, but I don't think that the U.S. does a good job of trying to fabricate like 30,000 deaths.

00:18:15.000 There's going to be actual deaths.

00:18:16.000 Like with Assad, I've outright explained on the show that the reason we removed Assad was not because he was some evil dictator, but because he was barring Western forces from building a gas pipeline.

00:18:25.000 That being said, Assad killed a bunch of his own people because they were rising up against him.

00:18:31.000 I think the same thing is true for Iran.

00:18:32.000 I'm just saying, I'm not going to believe everything that comes across my desk all the time.

00:18:37.000 I will question that.

00:18:38.000 But we've seen this stuff from Iran years ago.

00:18:41.000 And you can call it a grand psyop where Obama, Trump, and Biden all colluded together to put out fake news about Iran.

00:18:50.000 I think Donald Trump really does not like the Democrats.

00:18:50.000 I'm sorry.

00:18:53.000 And I don't think the Democrats like Donald Trump.

00:18:55.000 I think the simpler solution is that Iran has killed a large number of their people because they started to rise up and they wanted to topple this regime.

00:19:04.000 Why? 0.87

00:19:04.000 Well, for one, they're Islamic fundamentalists. 0.87

00:19:08.000 And not everybody is, but a lot of people are.

00:19:10.000 It could be wrong.

00:19:11.000 Also, it's not an Islamic country, just so people know that.

00:19:13.000 Right.

00:19:13.000 Islamic regime, like when they took over in 1979, they changed the flag.

00:19:17.000 If you notice the flag, they changed the national anthem.

00:19:20.000 They're not Islamic people. 1.00

00:19:21.000 I think the simple reality is like with Cuba. 0.71

00:19:24.000 Yeah.

00:19:24.000 We saw protests in Cuba.

00:19:26.000 Regular people are just telling their government, why aren't you just doing this trade deal?

00:19:31.000 Why are you intentionally starting wars, getting in the fights that's resulting in us having our lives made worse?

00:19:37.000 If you're a regular person waking up and going to work, I don't care where you're from, you're not asking your government to start a war.

00:19:43.000 This is true for the United States.

00:19:44.000 This is true for Iran. 0.99

00:19:45.000 So you get these protests because people are basically saying, for one, there's fundamentalism and people don't like the religious police.

00:19:50.000 But I do believe a lot of it is we could have a higher standard of living.

00:19:54.000 We're a major oil producer.

00:19:56.000 If we just said, America, we want to trade and we don't want war, they would live like kings in Iran. 0.97

00:20:01.000 Right.

00:20:02.000 And I think they don't want that.

00:20:03.000 And the government wants their religious fundamentalism.

00:20:06.000 Exactly.

00:20:06.000 They want to fund Hezbollah and Hamas.

00:20:09.000 They don't want.

00:20:10.000 They do not want the stability.

00:20:12.000 They want to use the leverage they have through violence to gain access.

00:20:15.000 Exactly.

00:20:16.000 And now you get this mass protest.

00:20:18.000 What do they do?

00:20:19.000 Well, I believe the first thing they tried doing was just controlling the protests.

00:20:22.000 That didn't work.

00:20:23.000 So then you resort to mass violence.

00:20:25.000 Yeah, they got the order.

00:20:26.000 But I'm going to say this.

00:20:27.000 I just want to say one more thing.

00:20:29.000 The idea that we got involved in war in Iran because of that, absolutely not.

00:20:34.000 If the U.S. actually intervened in countries when there were humanitarian crises, we'd be at war with like 30%.

00:20:40.000 Exactly.

00:20:40.000 Yeah, no, I am.

00:20:41.000 On the continent of Africa.

00:20:42.000 We'd be in Africa forever. 1.00

00:20:44.000 Look.

00:20:45.000 Yeah.

00:20:46.000 I have to tell you, only 20%, though, of Iran, there's like 90 million people, are the Islamic fundamentalists.

00:20:54.000 But they have every reason to fight back because fundamentally for their jobs or just security, they're living large.

00:21:02.000 And Obama, by the way, with the Iran nuclear deal, handed them over billions of dollars.

00:21:02.000 All this money.

00:21:08.000 And then we also have a huge Iran lobby in the United States.

00:21:12.000 I want to pull up this post.

00:21:13.000 This is from 10 Delta on X.

00:21:15.000 You may be saying, Tim, who is this guy?

00:21:17.000 What is this post about?

00:21:17.000 I don't know.

00:21:18.000 Well, let me tell you, Donald Trump's plan for world domination.

00:21:22.000 And it was put so succinctly.

00:21:24.000 Who is this?

00:21:25.000 This is just some guy on X.

00:21:25.000 I am impressed.

00:21:26.000 I'm going to look at what.

00:21:27.000 Some guy on X and he broke down.

00:21:29.000 He's followed by Ed Krasenstein, so you know he's smart.

00:21:32.000 He broke down Trump's plan.

00:21:34.000 Yes, right.

00:21:34.000 He broke down Trump's plan.

00:21:35.000 And I'm going to give you the simple version before doing a quick skim through of this post.

00:21:38.000 And I recommend you check this post out.

00:21:40.000 Basically, what he's saying is that Donald Trump, over the past several, the past year, has made a series of moves internationally that has cut off Russian ability to produce gas, cut off China's ability to receive energy to produce AI,

00:21:55.000 and moving into Venezuela, strengthened the U.S. to take out the Venezuelan regime, the Cuban regime, and now Iran.

00:22:03.000 It's not a victory moment, but this is the last big piece of Trump's puzzle.

00:22:08.000 After Iran, the U.S. will have gained such control over global energy, there will be zero possibility that China will ever be able to rise as a dominant unipolar power. 0.95

00:22:20.000 Trump is restructuring the world order underneath the American flag.

00:22:25.000 Let me read through this.

00:22:26.000 I'm going to go pretty quickly, but it's a brilliant thread that breaks it down in great detail.

00:22:31.000 He says, three weeks ago, I argued the U.S. goal in Iran is to seize the global oil spigot, neutralize every supply channel outside the dollar system within 90 days, achieve a compliant success of our government and complete energy dominance.

00:22:41.000 The oil thesis was the obvious layer.

00:22:42.000 However, when you zoom out and view the last four years in a single sequence rather than isolated geopolitical events, the architecture of the grander U.S. plan becomes visible.

00:22:49.000 I want to stress this extends to Trump's first term.

00:22:51.000 I don't know what was going on through Biden's first term, but it may include elements of the U.S. government and the deep state at the same time.

00:22:59.000 They say the Ukraine conflict provided the justification for sanctions that collapsed Russian pipeline gas from 150 billion cubic meters to 40.

00:23:06.000 Nord Stream was destroyed.

00:23:08.000 The U.S. went from supplying 28% of Europe's gas to 58% by 2025, exporting a record 111 million metric tons.

00:23:15.000 Next is Syria.

00:23:17.000 The fall of Assad severed the critical node connecting China's Belt and Road Initiative in the Mediterranean.

00:23:21.000 The trilateral railway linking Iran, Iraq, and Syria designed to bypass Western maritime choke points was completely destroyed.

00:23:27.000 Third was Venezuela.

00:23:28.000 In January, the U.S. effectively took control of the world's largest heavy crude reserves.

00:23:32.000 The U.S. Gulf Coast has the most advanced refining complex on earth.

00:23:36.000 The U.S. captured a massive strategic reserve and solidified its position as the dominant exporter.

00:23:40.000 Venezuela and Iran were the two major oil supply channels that existed outside the dollar system.

00:23:45.000 Fourth is Iran in the Middle East energy shock. 0.81

00:23:48.000 Israel struck Iran's South Pars gas field, the world's largest natural gas reservoir.

00:23:53.000 Iran retaliated by striking Qatar's Ras Lafan, the single largest LNG facility on earth.

00:23:59.000 Qatar Energy's own assessment is that 17% of export capacity is gone, and recovery will take five years.

00:24:05.000 The Strait of Hormuz is closed.

00:24:06.000 European gas prices spiked 70%.

00:24:09.000 Asian spot prices doubled.

00:24:11.000 The only remaining scaled supplier is the United States.

00:24:14.000 If Iran falls and a successor government is installed, the U.S. controls or influences roughly 40 to 45 million barrels per day of the global 103 million.

00:24:25.000 I'm sorry, out of 103 million, putting it effectively under U.S. control.

00:24:29.000 OPEC becomes irrelevant.

00:24:31.000 The war is solidifying the petrodollar system as it evolves into a hybrid petro-natural gas dollar.

00:24:36.000 The market confirms this.

00:24:38.000 Gold dropped around 20% from January.

00:24:40.000 Bitcoin down 20%.

00:24:42.000 Brent above 100.

00:24:43.000 European and Asian institutions are liquidating metals and crypto to buy dollars because they need dollars to buy the only remaining scaled energy supply.

00:24:52.000 The U.S. grand strategy goes deeper.

00:24:54.000 AI is a physical industry.

00:24:56.000 It runs on power.

00:24:57.000 By choking the Strait of Hormuz and crippling Middle Eastern LNG and helium production, the U.S. is degrading China's ability to power its data centers.

00:25:04.000 The U.S. is energy self-sufficient.

00:25:07.000 On the other hand, China is import dependent, and every jewel it imports effectively now transits choke points the U.S. Navy controls.

00:25:14.000 There's a lot more to this, but it breaks it down rather perfectly.

00:25:18.000 The U.S. is seizing all control for AI development, natural gas, and resources.

00:25:24.000 And based on this, and I agree, the shuttering of the Strait of Hormuz is an intentional play that benefits the United States system.

00:25:32.000 The Gulf states struggling to export this product.

00:25:35.000 Now people are going to rely on U.S. exports, and we control Venezuela.

00:25:42.000 In this interim period, we have come to take center stage, the top point in the petro-dollar system.

00:25:48.000 Once everything resolves and Iran is in the Western fold, should Trump win, China and Russia will be under the boot of the U.S. hegemon.

00:25:56.000 Control the energy, control the system.

00:25:58.000 Did you see General Michael Flynn post it?

00:26:00.000 He goes, sounds like everything is going according to plan.

00:26:02.000 Yep.

00:26:02.000 And you know, Khomeini, he was supposed to go to Venezuela to take Venezuela out.

00:26:06.000 And now Cuba is falling into Western influence.

00:26:09.000 Venezuela into Western.

00:26:10.000 This is nuts.

00:26:10.000 I mean, Trump is toppling.

00:26:12.000 Who is?

00:26:13.000 Cuba.

00:26:14.000 Yeah, right.

00:26:14.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:26:15.000 Cuba's got no power left.

00:26:16.000 There's no energy coming in.

00:26:18.000 They're out of power.

00:26:19.000 Right.

00:26:20.000 So they're embargoed, and then Trump said, we'll sanction anybody who tries to give them oil.

00:26:23.000 And now there's no electricity.

00:26:25.000 There's one more thing that's worth noting that isn't mentioned here.

00:26:27.000 There's this place in North Carolina called Spruce Pine.

00:26:30.000 It's a tiny town in Blue Ridge, right?

00:26:33.000 Population is like 2,000, and it's completely irreplaceable to the entire global semiconductor industry.

00:26:39.000 It's the only place in the world that can get 99.999% pure silicone.

00:26:45.000 Now, obviously, chips are made of silicone, and they provide all of the silicone that goes to TSMC, all the silicone that goes to Taiwan to make the most advanced chips.

00:26:54.000 Now, we're building a bunch of chip manufacturers here.

00:26:57.000 Obviously, they're not online yet.

00:26:58.000 But if the U.S. controls that as well, that really does...

00:27:03.000 You forgot Ukraine, too.

00:27:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:27:05.000 Oh, arable land for one thing.

00:27:07.000 But part of this report, I did skip over, is that in Ukraine, Ukrainians are sabotaging Russian energy transport.

00:27:14.000 So this is curtailing Russia's ability to...

00:27:16.000 This is what we talked about.

00:27:17.000 We've talked about how the barisma scandal was because Russia was importing natural gas into Europe, controlling 20% of European gas.

00:27:25.000 The U.S. wanted that to stop.

00:27:27.000 A Ukrainian was indicted by Germany for bombing Nord Stream 2.

00:27:31.000 This is Western power.

00:27:32.000 Guys, I'm going to tell you this.

00:27:33.000 Hook this hopium right up into your veins.

00:27:36.000 If this plays out the way it appears on the grand stage, I think we're looking at like a 1950s, 60s economic boom.

00:27:45.000 I'm here for it.

00:27:46.000 And as I sit here, I look at that sign right there and it says make America great again.

00:27:50.000 And Trump has a plan.

00:27:52.000 The desperation of the necessity of invention, like if the Chinese technocrats find out, look, we can't compete with oil and methane anymore, natural gas is methane.

00:28:04.000 We need to pivot to fusion. 0.86

00:28:05.000 We need to.

00:28:06.000 We have the fusion, bro.

00:28:07.000 Haven't you been paying attention?

00:28:09.000 We are controlling the oil markets.

00:28:10.000 I understand.

00:28:10.000 The oil and gas markets are under control, and that's a great energy market.

00:28:14.000 It's a great fuel market, but it's not the only one.

00:28:16.000 We will never allow anyone to create an energy source outside of what we control.

00:28:21.000 Right, but you can't, you don't have control over allowance of all things.

00:28:25.000 The United States can blow up anybody they want.

00:28:27.000 I'm not denying that.

00:28:28.000 Right.

00:28:28.000 That's my point.

00:28:29.000 I'm not saying they should.

00:28:30.000 I'm saying they have heart attack guns.

00:28:32.000 They have discombobulators.

00:28:34.000 They will, Ian, if you put together a fusion reactor and figured out a means of converting the fusion energy into electricity, they will discombobulate you.

00:28:42.000 Yeah, and I wouldn't even tell them not to.

00:28:44.000 If a human beings rogue and tries to build a fusion, you're like, discombobulate me to life, dude. 0.99

00:28:48.000 If a dumb monkey gets a fusion reactor, it could blow us all up. 0.99

00:28:48.000 It's a threat. 0.99

00:28:51.000 Like, I'm open to stopping that.

00:28:52.000 You know what I think they would do?

00:28:54.000 If Ian ever really got close to like discovering the secrets of graphene, they would dose you with such strong LSD, you would go schizoid.

00:29:02.000 I got to work with the government if I'm going to go hard into tech.

00:29:06.000 That's the only way at this point.

00:29:07.000 But doesn't like it.

00:29:10.000 Imagine like you had a chicken in your chicken coop that figured out how to open the doors and was programming, like was using a phone.

00:29:10.000 Imagine this.

00:29:17.000 You'd be like, I'm eating that chicken.

00:29:18.000 I'm either hiring that chicken.

00:29:19.000 I mean, to be honest, no, to be honest, if your chicken was using a phone, you'd be like, I'm calling a scientist right now.

00:29:24.000 I'm giving that chicken a TV show, yeah.

00:29:27.000 But if you were the U.S. government, you're seizing that chicken and removing it and you're studying it.

00:29:32.000 There's a lot going on in the world that the U.S. government doesn't know about.

00:29:34.000 And I don't know how much spy is good.

00:29:37.000 What?

00:29:38.000 They know everything.

00:29:39.000 They know when you poop.

00:29:39.000 That's what they want.

00:29:40.000 And that's what they want.

00:29:41.000 They know when they know when you poop.

00:29:42.000 Spy tech.

00:29:43.000 But then it's a lot of people.

00:29:46.000 Is World War III just like?

00:29:48.000 No.

00:29:49.000 This is actually a 10-year-old.

00:29:51.000 Like where every single person, when every single person is pooping?

00:29:53.000 You got a cell phone?

00:29:54.000 Yeah.

00:29:55.000 Uh-huh.

00:29:55.000 Okay.

00:29:56.000 So they're tracking me.

00:29:57.000 So here's what, so Facebook got this data a long time ago and has the algorithm for the algorithm.

00:30:01.000 This story was super old.

00:30:02.000 It was like Business Insight or something.

00:30:02.000 It was a story.

00:30:05.000 So Facebook has collected enough location data that they now have mapped a billion users, a billion human beings, daily patterns.

00:30:15.000 So they now have a prediction for how long after a meal will a person use the bathroom.

00:30:20.000 They know how, like, if a person goes to work, how long until they go to the bathroom?

00:30:25.000 So the movement of your phone, they can predict where you're going to get lunch.

00:30:30.000 They can predict where you will go to the bathroom.

00:30:32.000 They can predict if you're going to get sick, if you're going to go home early.

00:30:34.000 The famous story, of course, is that a man called, I think it was Target or something, complaining that they had sent his $16 maternity advertisements.

00:30:43.000 16-year-old daughter was getting maternity advertisements.

00:30:45.000 And he said, how dare you send my teenage daughter maternity advertisements?

00:30:50.000 She is a child.

00:30:52.000 And they said, sir, these are automated advertisements.

00:30:55.000 When our system detects an individual is pregnant, it will automatically send these ads. 0.95

00:30:59.000 So she had been searching things like feeling sick and restless or back pain.

00:31:05.000 And the algorithm said, she's pregnant, send her the advertisements. 1.00

00:31:09.000 And she was.

00:31:10.000 Insane.

00:31:11.000 I didn't hear about that story.

00:31:12.000 That's like 10 years ago.

00:31:13.000 Yeah, well, then now they've probably up their game.

00:31:16.000 They know exactly what we're doing.

00:31:17.000 They wonder when you say something and it pops up on your phone.

00:31:17.000 Of course.

00:31:20.000 I mean, people think like anything.

00:31:23.000 Yeah.

00:31:23.000 They already think your microphone is on.

00:31:26.000 It's listening to you.

00:31:27.000 And those people are correct.

00:31:29.000 Phones have voice activation.

00:31:30.000 You've ever used yours?

00:31:32.000 Yes, like Siri?

00:31:33.000 So when you can just talk to it, you can say.

00:31:33.000 Yeah.

00:31:35.000 Yeah, he's here, and it'll turn on, right?

00:31:37.000 So that means the microphone has to be on all the time so that if you say that phrase, it will activate your phone, right?

00:31:37.000 Yep.

00:31:43.000 Right.

00:31:44.000 What translates your speech into text?

00:31:48.000 A server over the internet.

00:31:49.000 So, what your devices do, they're listening to 24-7, sending everything you say to a server to transcribe your speech into text and send the text back to your phone.

00:32:00.000 There was a very famous story where police subpoenaed, I think it was the Amazon device because there was a murder and they wanted the audio.

00:32:09.000 And they got the audio and they were like, how?

00:32:12.000 And they were like, oh, it was recording for some reason.

00:32:15.000 Because how else would it know you're activating it unless it was listening all the time?

00:32:19.000 All the time.

00:32:20.000 I don't know if they're able to get off that grid.

00:32:23.000 So just, I want to just finish talking about China in this instance.

00:32:26.000 That they're going to either be like, look, we can't compete with oil and gas.

00:32:29.000 We need to go to a new fusion source, maybe a hydrogen fuel system or something.

00:32:33.000 And then the other thing is the oil off the east coast of Vietnam, which I still believe the Vietnam War was about oil.

00:32:38.000 They said we have to stop communism, but they wanted that territory so they could pump, which the Trans-Pacific Partnership was all about pumping Malaysian oil. 0.63

00:32:44.000 Chinese might try and take that from the Japanese overseer, but we kind of got that unlocked, the physical lock in the Pacific, too. 0.64

00:32:52.000 You know, Japan, we turned that in the 60s, in the 50s.

00:32:55.000 But the other fuel sources, like, that's the one thing you can't really account for.

00:32:59.000 And like, is Iran the next, the final nail in the coffin? 0.93

00:33:02.000 Well, they'll always tell you that it is, that the next step is the final step.

00:33:07.000 But no one's, the administration isn't telling you this, right?

00:33:11.000 So this isn't some kind of like press release from the Trump administration.

00:33:15.000 This is a bunch of people looking at the global picture and saying, look, this is what makes sense to us.

00:33:21.000 So it's not a situation where this is the narrative coming out of the administration saying, this is why we're doing it.

00:33:26.000 This is what the goal is, et cetera, et cetera.

00:33:28.000 It's people looking at what the Trump administration has done and what it looks like they're doing in the future and basically deducing what's going on.

00:33:37.000 It's like slaying the final villain in a movie, but that's just what people are kind of brainwashed to think like because that's not what the world is.

00:33:43.000 It's not about slaying.

00:33:45.000 Yeah, and it's not about slaying the final villain.

00:33:48.000 It's about positioning the United States in a strong position globally, right?

00:33:53.000 Like it's not about trying to.

00:33:54.000 It's really this simple.

00:33:57.000 Do you want to be the capital or do you want to be District 7?

00:33:59.000 I want to be the capital.

00:34:00.000 There you go.

00:34:01.000 Let me play this clip.

00:34:02.000 We've got the story from Fox News.

00:34:03.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Iran is threatening World War III, but let's see what's going on with Operation Epic Fury. 1.00

00:34:09.000 And I think the funniest thing about this, people are now wagering that Donald Trump will personally visit Iran before next year.

00:34:18.000 I kid you not.

00:34:19.000 But first, here's what's happening in Iran.

00:34:19.000 Wait till you see this.

00:34:22.000 Central Command and the intensifying situation in the Middle East.

00:34:25.000 Operation Epic Fury presses on with U.S. forces continuing to hammer key Iranian regime targets.

00:34:31.000 President Trump posting this morning that Iran is, quote, begging to make a deal.

00:34:35.000 Matt Finn is live in Dubai with more.

00:34:37.000 Hi, Matt.

00:34:40.000 And Dana, taking a full look at that truth post, President Trump writes, the Irani negotiators are very different and, quote, strange.

00:34:49.000 They are begging us to make a deal, which they should be doing since they have been military obliterated with zero chance of a comeback.

00:34:56.000 And yet they publicly state they are only looking at our proposal wrong.

00:35:00.000 They better get serious soon before it is too late, because once that happens, there is no turning back and it won't be pretty President Donald J. Trump.

00:35:06.000 Now, here in Dubai, it's been a pretty active day.

00:35:09.000 A lot of incoming fire.

00:35:10.000 The UAE says 15 ballistic missiles, 11 drones fired at this country today.

00:35:14.000 Our cell phones have been going off with the shelter-in-place alerts.

00:35:18.000 We've heard some explosions in the sky.

00:35:19.000 The UAE says two people died in Abu Dhabi not far from here.

00:35:23.000 The UAE writing, the UAE's air defenses are currently dealing with missile attacks and incoming drones from Iran.

00:35:30.000 And the Ministry of Defense confirms that the sounds heard in various parts of the country are the result of air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles and fighter jets intercepting drones and loitering munition.

00:35:41.000 And our current game reports from Israel that the head of the IRGC's Navy was killed in an Israeli strike over 90.

00:35:48.000 So we've got that.

00:35:49.000 And then we've got Epic Fury striking over 10,000 targets and the IRGC naval leadership eliminated.

00:35:56.000 Iran is threatening 1 million soldiers are ready to fight the United States.

00:36:02.000 But here's where it gets good.

00:36:04.000 Over on our Kalchi prediction market, there is a 12% chance that Donald Trump will visit Iran before 2027.

00:36:16.000 But wait, people are actually wagering a 4% chance for that before June.

00:36:23.000 I'm sorry, that sounds like freeing money to me.

00:36:25.000 I am not advising you to do anything.

00:36:26.000 I'm just saying there is no way Donald Trump is personally going to Iran before June.

00:36:31.000 Not before June.

00:36:31.000 But I have to tell you, the Islamic.

00:36:33.000 Next year? 0.99

00:36:34.000 But the Islamic regime is a death cult, okay? 1.00

00:36:34.000 Maybe next year. 1.00

00:36:37.000 Here's the other thing is they don't want a deal.

00:36:39.000 They talk about like, oh, we're going to have a deal.

00:36:40.000 We're going to make a deal.

00:36:41.000 They don't want a deal.

00:36:42.000 But the scary part is if they actually make a deal, because they always play the long game.

00:36:49.000 Okay.

00:36:50.000 These people have a caliphate that, you know, their mission is a caliphate, spread their caliphate.

00:36:53.000 The scary part that people worry about is, will they agree to a deal and then just tear it up in three years?

00:37:01.000 You know, people ask for a ceasefire, and during the ceasefire, they'll build up their military and then they'll attack you again when the ceasefire is.

00:37:08.000 I'm going to tell you guys, you know what's really bothering me?

00:37:10.000 And I know Phil's going to chime in.

00:37:11.000 He's going to agree with me on this one.

00:37:13.000 I am not a fan of military interventions regime.

00:37:15.000 It's extremely expensive.

00:37:16.000 It's bad.

00:37:17.000 It's bad in the short term for our economy.

00:37:18.000 We need to win if you want anything good for our economy.

00:37:20.000 But for the love of all that is holy, the people that are effectively rooting for our defeat is the most infuriating thing imaginable.

00:37:26.000 I'm concerned about the Iranian civilians. 1.00

00:37:29.000 And at some point, like, I don't want to tell American government, stop, don't, because it's like, I don't really know what's going on.

00:37:34.000 And maybe this could preserve human race in a really, really beneficial way.

00:37:39.000 But the civilians of Iran, man, that's the most important resource in the world is that we preserve those people.

00:37:45.000 There's no military in the world that puts more effort into not killing civilians.

00:37:51.000 And if you look at the videos coming out of Iran, people are still going about their day normally because the United States is not targeting the population.

00:38:00.000 Very, that's not precisely.

00:38:03.000 This is not saying, this is not to say that there isn't going to be collateral damage or anything.

00:38:08.000 Iran is intentionally striking civilians right now.

00:38:10.000 I mean, think about it this way.

00:38:11.000 Iran has attacked U.S. military targets in the region for decades.

00:38:15.000 They have been arming the Houthi rebels as well as Hamas and Hezbollah.

00:38:19.000 They have been literally killing civilians.

00:38:21.000 The Houthis were bombing civilian cargo ships in the Red Sea.

00:38:25.000 And the U.S., and don't get me started on Venezuela, they steal our oil assets.

00:38:28.000 And the U.S. is just like, now, now, slow down there.

00:38:31.000 And they have been reserved the whole time.

00:38:33.000 Donald Trump finally says, okay, fine.

00:38:35.000 Israel says we're moving in, puts pressure on the United States to make a move now.

00:38:39.000 I don't respect that, but it is what happened.

00:38:40.000 And the U.S. says, we have legitimate grievances and we're putting a stop to this.

00:38:44.000 So what is Iran's response? 0.96

00:38:46.000 We're going to kill civilians. 1.00

00:38:48.000 Non-combat. 1.00

00:38:49.000 They're targeting the cities.

00:38:51.000 They're targeting people's homes intentionally and then complaining about collateral damage in Iran. 0.96

00:38:55.000 Look, collateral damage is bad.

00:38:57.000 We don't want civilians to die.

00:38:59.000 If it is true, the U.S. launched a Tomahawk, which blew up a school and killed a bunch of little girls, horrifying.

00:39:04.000 But the U.S. is not trying to do that.

00:39:06.000 The U.S. gets to a point where it says, stop bombing us, stop bombing our friends, stop killing people in the region, and they don't.

00:39:14.000 And the U.S. says, here comes the big stick. 0.98

00:39:16.000 And again, their responses, then we'll kill everyone. 1.00

00:39:19.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:39:19.000 Well, you saw the funerals, right? 0.99

00:39:20.000 After America and Israel took out all their leaders, they had massive funerals.

00:39:24.000 Did America go and bomb those massive funerals and individuals who came out and bomb them out of?

00:39:30.000 That was an opportunity, but that's not what America does.

00:39:33.000 But what are they doing?

00:39:34.000 They're consistently launching rockets into Israel on a daily basis.

00:39:38.000 They're missiles.

00:39:39.000 They're attacking other Arab nations. 1.00

00:39:42.000 Hey, look, look, I will say this between Israel and Iran. 0.96

00:39:48.000 I think Israel, I'm sorry, I think Iran has stronger capabilities than they've let on for a long time. 0.70

00:39:53.000 I do not.

00:39:53.000 Yes.

00:39:54.000 They fired rockets at Diego Garcia, which is our airbase in the, I believe, in the Indian Ocean.

00:40:00.000 And this shocked the world because they were like, Iran has been claiming they don't have this capability.

00:40:05.000 And I don't think it's surprising all to find out they actually do.

00:40:08.000 Did you see Paris Morgan?

00:40:09.000 He tweeted.

00:40:09.000 What is he?

00:40:10.000 And he was like, oh, well, maybe we were wrong.

00:40:15.000 Yeah.

00:40:16.000 Well, I'll say this.

00:40:16.000 Right.

00:40:17.000 Iran striking Israel, that's war. 0.85

00:40:19.000 Israel is striking Iran.

00:40:21.000 Iran is striking Israel. 0.89

00:40:22.000 Israel is targeting military.

00:40:24.000 Iran is targeting whatever they can target, which includes civilian targets.

00:40:27.000 So that's wrong.

00:40:28.000 But for what reason is Iran bombing Dubai?

00:40:33.000 Civilian targets.

00:40:34.000 Two people just died.

00:40:36.000 You know why they're doing that?

00:40:37.000 Because they were.

00:40:38.000 Well, yeah, not only terror, but they want to encourage the United States to take a step back.

00:40:44.000 It's like these are our allies.

00:40:45.000 Okay, we'll stop.

00:40:46.000 It's the equivalent of Ian and I get into a fight, so then I threaten your family.

00:40:51.000 And you're like, my family has nothing to do with this.

00:40:53.000 And I'll say, they do now because I'll do whatever it takes to win.

00:40:56.000 It's terrorism.

00:40:57.000 Of course.

00:40:57.000 That's what the underdog does in war.

00:40:59.000 Yep. 0.99

00:41:00.000 And so Iran has decided, and this is part of their doctrine: if you go to war with us, we know we can't win, so we will massacre your children. 0.99

00:41:08.000 They're in desperation. 0.97

00:41:11.000 They're in desperation mode.

00:41:12.000 But I do going back to the state.

00:41:13.000 I said if they had a nuke.

00:41:14.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:41:15.000 Imagine if they had a nuke.

00:41:16.000 Will Donald Trump visit Iran?

00:41:17.000 Not by June, maybe next year.

00:41:20.000 You think there's going to be a regime change?

00:41:22.000 Who thinks Reza Pahlavi is going to come into power?

00:41:25.000 I don't know.

00:41:25.000 I don't think so.

00:41:26.000 I don't think so.

00:41:27.000 I thought he'd be like the Gandhi of Persia. 0.89

00:41:29.000 He'll come.

00:41:30.000 He'll give people hope.

00:41:30.000 He'll help them.

00:41:31.000 Here's what they do.

00:41:32.000 He probably will come back.

00:41:33.000 Reza has come back and said he has a plan.

00:41:35.000 Okay.

00:41:36.000 He has a plan.

00:41:36.000 He doesn't want to stay.

00:41:38.000 So he comes back.

00:41:39.000 Maybe he gets things done.

00:41:40.000 He just jumped to 16%.

00:41:41.000 That's probably our as we're talking.

00:41:44.000 Well, I'm sure people watching are going.

00:41:45.000 The Senate introduced a bill to make this illegal to bet on gamble on the war stuff.

00:41:48.000 Well, they've tried this prediction markets have been found.

00:41:52.000 World legal.

00:41:53.000 Reza could oversee a transition to an actual republic.

00:41:56.000 He has a plan.

00:41:57.000 Islamic theocracy said, hey, everyone, we'll call it the, it's a republic and we're going to govern you, but it wasn't a republic. 0.83

00:42:02.000 They lied to their people for the people. 0.79

00:42:04.000 They're not even there.

00:42:05.000 Like, what?

00:42:05.000 They mishandled that government.

00:42:07.000 Reza could come in and really turn it into one of the strongest republics on the planet that is preserved against the technocratic order.

00:42:14.000 If we do it right, it would benefit the United States, but I'll tell you something.

00:42:17.000 In 1979, the minute the Ayatollahs took over, they showed America and the world exactly who they were. 0.98

00:42:24.000 They held our embassy hostage for 444 days.

00:42:27.000 They literally, I can't believe it's not.

00:42:30.000 Until Ronald Reagan got into it.

00:42:31.000 Literally, they showed the world who they were.

00:42:35.000 It was because the Shah fled to the United States and they wanted to try him for crimes.

00:42:40.000 And the United States is like, he's getting cancer treatment in the U.S.

00:42:43.000 They're like, then we're keeping your soldiers hostage until you give them back.

00:42:45.000 Right, but my point is who they are.

00:42:47.000 In the U.S., so then they let the hosts.

00:42:49.000 Remember the Beirut bombing.

00:42:50.000 They killed our problem right now is you have a lot of young people who don't really understand who the Islamic regime are. 0.78

00:42:56.000 They're not freedom fighters.

00:42:58.000 They're not.

00:42:59.000 I think, I mean, I'm not arguing with that.

00:43:00.000 I think they're horrifying. 0.67

00:43:02.000 I think religious people are.

00:43:03.000 You just have a lot of young people who don't understand the history.

00:43:05.000 Zealous religion before reality is deeply concerning to me.

00:43:10.000 They're extremists.

00:43:11.000 Yeah.

00:43:12.000 Like, you got to put the book down and look around at what's going on on the planet.

00:43:16.000 I just want to stress this again because With the moves Trump is making towards Iran, there are a lot of people that are on one side anti-interventionist, but guys, you may not like this.

00:43:29.000 If Trump wins here and we reignite the petro LNG dollar and control global energy, Americans are going to live like fat cats.

00:43:39.000 I'm all a lot of people might not like that.

00:43:42.000 And I know I have a lot of friends that are like, it's not worth it.

00:43:44.000 The clatter damage isn't worth it.

00:43:46.000 I'm not disputing you or arguing morality.

00:43:47.000 I am saying the end result of U.S. controlling energy is that we will get a lot of stuff for very little.

00:43:55.000 I'm ready for Americans to be able to live and not have to work two jobs, three jobs.

00:44:00.000 California.

00:44:02.000 Listen, I live in California.

00:44:04.000 Okay.

00:44:04.000 And a lot of people are like, well, well, you get what you deserve.

00:44:07.000 No, there's a lot of people in California, good people, who say, well, we want to stay in California.

00:44:11.000 We want to fight.

00:44:12.000 But the cost of living there, I mean, Nick Shirley just did an expose on what's happening.

00:44:17.000 The fraud supersedes what happens with the Somalis. 1.00

00:44:20.000 Okay.

00:44:21.000 We have a homeless industrial complex.

00:44:23.000 It is literally a business.

00:44:25.000 They do not want the homelessness to go away.

00:44:27.000 As a matter of fact, it's gotten worse.

00:44:29.000 It's a business.

00:44:29.000 Okay.

00:44:30.000 So all these NGOs, all these organizations, they need to stay in power so they continue to feed the monster.

00:44:36.000 You go out in the streets of like, you know, Southern California, where used to be nice areas, you see zombies.

00:44:43.000 I have two children and they get scared.

00:44:43.000 It's scary.

00:44:45.000 They're like, what is this?

00:44:47.000 Like, they're zombies.

00:44:48.000 They're hanging, you know, they're everywhere.

00:44:50.000 You know, I guess the question is: do you want to live in a world where we are under the boot of China? 0.93

00:44:55.000 No.

00:44:55.000 And they're the ones doing, instead of the liberal economic order or Trump's order, they have the Belt and Road Initiative and we can't buy oil anymore and then people lose their jobs.

00:45:06.000 I mean, we see what's been happening.

00:45:08.000 The drugs are coming out of China.

00:45:09.000 The fentanyl that you're making the zombies you're talking about.

00:45:12.000 Literally, they came out of China through Mexico, via Mexico.

00:45:14.000 Yo, this feels like the second Cold War, and that we're ending it now with the Iranians. 1.00

00:45:19.000 Like the Iranians, I like that. 0.99

00:45:20.000 And the Americans have been in a Cold War since the revolution.

00:45:23.000 The revolution.

00:45:23.000 Yeah.

00:45:24.000 They still say they're still in a revolution since 79.

00:45:26.000 And when we ended the first Cold War, we had an opportunity to reshape the world in a good way.

00:45:31.000 You say we live like fat cats.

00:45:32.000 We can bring that tech to the planet.

00:45:33.000 We should have done it in the 90s and early 2000s.

00:45:35.000 We didn't have the internet to coordinate.

00:45:36.000 Now we can.

00:45:37.000 So the U.S. is going to end this Cold War and has an opportunity to really raise a standard of living for the human race.

00:45:43.000 Yeah.

00:45:44.000 Well, I mean, the U.S. and markets have been doing that for the better part of the past 60 years.

00:45:49.000 You know, like, I think the number of people that have lived that live in abject poverty, which is like less than a dollar a day, has cratered to like maybe like 500 million or something like that.

00:46:02.000 Out of all of the 8 billion people that live on the Earth.

00:46:04.000 So the Somali story.

00:46:06.000 Sorry, I'm just going to say one thing.

00:46:07.000 The fact that they were sending our money to al-Shabaab.

00:46:10.000 Yeah.

00:46:11.000 I mean, it makes my blood boil.

00:46:13.000 That's our, I want, as a matter of fact, I want my money back.

00:46:16.000 Yeah.

00:46:17.000 There are, there are two principal factions, it would seem.

00:46:21.000 The Trump faction is very, they're fine with Donald Trump securing energy and the U.S. control of it.

00:46:28.000 There's another faction that says it's time to share power with the rest of the world.

00:46:30.000 And Tucker Carlson made that quote.

00:46:32.000 That includes China.

00:46:33.000 I'm not interested in sharing power with China. 0.97

00:46:35.000 No, and I'm not interested in hearing what Tucker Carlson has.

00:46:37.000 I'm not saying I'm a fan of the war.

00:46:38.000 No, no, no.

00:46:39.000 I believe you.

00:46:39.000 I just, he's lost his mind.

00:46:41.000 I don't know what happened to him.

00:46:43.000 He basically, whoever his bosses are, didn't get their ROI because he's so pissed about what's happening in Iran.

00:46:49.000 Same with Candace Owens. 1.00

00:46:50.000 Well, let's pull this up and talk about it.

00:46:52.000 We've got this post from Officer Liu.

00:46:54.000 He says, wow, Candace Owens launches a surprising attack on citizen journalist Nick Shirley. 0.99

00:46:58.000 I'll first correct that and say Nick Shirley is not a citizen journalist.

00:47:01.000 He is just a regular journalist.

00:47:03.000 Citizen journalist means you're out walking your dog one day and you film a car crash and then go back to walking your dog.

00:47:09.000 It was used by the corporate press as a pejorative against people like Nick Shirley. 1.00

00:47:14.000 In her latest episode, she dismisses his hard-hitting investigative reporting as stupid, dumb, and completely made up. 1.00

00:47:20.000 This is the weirdest thing. 1.00

00:47:21.000 Let me play the clip for you first and then explain.

00:47:24.000 Look, I'm going to say it outright.

00:47:25.000 I think Candace is an op. 1.00

00:47:28.000 And I'll explain why, but first listen to this.

00:47:30.000 I've been to find myself on top of Brazil's largest favela in a destroyed house interviewing gang members of one of the largest gangs in Brazil.

00:47:38.000 Okay, I'm just going to say I don't believe that at all. 1.00

00:47:41.000 I just, I just, it's so stupid. 0.93

00:47:41.000 I'm sorry. 0.93

00:47:43.000 I'm not even going to tell you what I don't believe. 0.99

00:47:44.000 It's like, it's like, if you don't know that that's stupid, that he infiltrated the gang in 48 hours. 1.00

00:47:51.000 Like, it's just, that's so dumb. 1.00

00:47:52.000 I'm so tired of dumb. 0.99

00:47:54.000 That's not how that works. 0.99

00:47:55.000 You don't just go up to gangs on the street as a nice looking white boy with a camera and say, hey, I just wanted to sort of like see what you're doing here.

00:47:55.000 Okay.

00:48:01.000 What's going on?

00:48:02.000 Okay, that's to stop. 1.00

00:48:04.000 Of course, that's dumb. 1.00

00:48:04.000 That's stupid. 1.00

00:48:05.000 I'm sorry, Nick. 0.99

00:48:06.000 I know you're young.

00:48:07.000 I hope, you know, whoever is your contact that has you infiltrating Antifa and infiltrating El Salvador at the age of 23 years old, it just feels like Sean Penn young to me.

00:48:17.000 Like, oh, Sean Penn's always there.

00:48:19.000 She goes on and says, I was always there and no one cares.

00:48:22.000 She goes on this attack, implying that Nick Shirley is faking his videos.

00:48:27.000 Now, here's the thing.

00:48:28.000 This reporting from Brazil is around eight months old.

00:48:31.000 She went back and found a segment that Nick Shirley did unrelated U.S. politics, I believe, intentionally to discredit Nick Shirley.

00:48:40.000 And now I'm seeing a bunch of tweets responding saying Nick Shirley's a liar.

00:48:44.000 Wow.

00:48:44.000 They're saying this is, Candace is right.

00:48:46.000 There's no way.

00:48:48.000 Why would she do this?

00:48:49.000 Honest question.

00:48:50.000 Nick Shirley is currently working on Medicaid fraud stories in California, and they're massive.

00:48:56.000 Who's opposing it?

00:48:58.000 The Democrats.

00:48:59.000 Gavin Newsom's making fun of him.

00:49:01.000 Now Candace Owens is digging up old stories, not even big stories from eight months ago.

00:49:05.000 He had 64,000 views to insinuate Nick Shirley is fabricating or a plant.

00:49:10.000 Let me just say real quick, I have covered the favelas in Brazil three times, and I'm going to tell you exactly how I interviewed the gang members.

00:49:19.000 I walked up as a little nice white boy to the gang members and said, can we interview you?

00:49:23.000 The real story is my producer and I went to a favela.

00:49:27.000 We had a fixer.

00:49:27.000 This is a local who speaks Portuguese.

00:49:30.000 We went to a restaurant and got food.

00:49:31.000 We asked the woman who worked there, hey, we're journalists from America.

00:49:34.000 We work for Vice.

00:49:35.000 We wanted to interview some of the gangs about what's going on.

00:49:38.000 And she said, give me a second.

00:49:40.000 She comes back.

00:49:41.000 She gives information to our fixer and says, meet this guy later today.

00:49:45.000 He'll be up at this area.

00:49:47.000 We wait till it gets dark.

00:49:48.000 We go to meet him.

00:49:48.000 It's like eight o'clock or whatever.

00:49:49.000 And there's a guy sitting in a plastic chair.

00:49:51.000 We walk up.

00:49:52.000 Everybody shakes his hand.

00:49:53.000 It's a gang member, one of the gang leaders, a regular guy just sitting in a chair.

00:49:57.000 And our Portuguese, our Brazilian friend speaks Portuguese.

00:49:59.000 And the guy says, yeah, they go, okay.

00:50:02.000 And then we say, what happened?

00:50:03.000 He goes, tomorrow at one o'clock, we're going to come here and we're going to meet a young gang member.

00:50:06.000 He's going to put on a mask and we're going to interview him.

00:50:08.000 He's going to tell us everything that's going on.

00:50:09.000 It was that simple.

00:50:10.000 I believe it.

00:50:11.000 I spent many years in media.

00:50:12.000 You could do that like anywhere.

00:50:14.000 It's literally what you do.

00:50:14.000 It's what you do.

00:50:15.000 Candace knows, knows.

00:50:17.000 She always knows, knows.

00:50:18.000 By the way, Nick Shirley's part one out of California.

00:50:20.000 I know the woman, Amy Reichard.

00:50:23.000 Okay.

00:50:23.000 She's out of San Diego and she's been doing this research.

00:50:26.000 By the way, Nick Shirley goes and he actually follows these people who've been doing this research.

00:50:30.000 This is why you probably don't know him as a citizen journalist.

00:50:32.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:50:33.000 So I can confirm that what he is reporting is exact a fact because Amy has been reporting this in California.

00:50:41.000 I have to stress this point on citizen journalism and why it's important to me.

00:50:45.000 In the early 2010s, with the ubiquity of cell phones emerging, we started to get a bunch of videos from regular people who would film a news event and then never film another news event again.

00:50:55.000 A guy would be working at a hot dog shop.

00:50:58.000 He would film, he'd be filming outside a fight breaking out and then a shooting happens and then he posts it online and a local news outlet says, can we have this footage?

00:51:05.000 That is citizen journalism.

00:51:07.000 It's when otherwise non-journalists capture a newsworthy event and it's not their intention.

00:51:13.000 I started filming Occupy Wall Street as well as many others.

00:51:16.000 And the media insulted us by saying, this is not real journalism.

00:51:20.000 This is citizen journalism with the intent of saying we are random people who accidentally caught newsworthy information.

00:51:27.000 So even though I had been working at this for a year, I was being invited around places, they would still go, we don't, there was an event where I was not allowed on the main stage and they were smack talking me from,

00:51:38.000 I was speaking on a side stage about the future of media and prominent journalists were on stage insulting me directly, saying this is not real journalism.

00:51:45.000 He's not a journalist.

00:51:46.000 He's not producing journalism.

00:51:47.000 He was a guy who was standing somewhere and filmed a thing and now you guys are calling it journalism. 1.00

00:51:51.000 And I said, these people are scumbags. 1.00

00:51:53.000 Yeah, you are a threat. 1.00

00:51:54.000 Now, I don't think Officer Liu's point is to disparage Nick Shirley, but I want to stress this.

00:51:59.000 The word citizen journalism is used by the corporate press to say that Nick Shirley is not doing real work and he's untrustworthy.

00:52:07.000 Nick Shirley is a journalist, period.

00:52:10.000 Now, again, I'll say this.

00:52:11.000 I think Candace is an op. 1.00

00:52:12.000 Why?

00:52:13.000 This is calculated.

00:52:15.000 You do not accidentally go through Nick Shirley's footage and try and find something to discredit that could then call into question his current reporting.

00:52:23.000 That is a manipulation strategy that is a bit more advanced.

00:52:27.000 Meaning, if you go to someone and say, how do we make people distrust Nick Shirley?

00:52:32.000 The left has insulted him and they just call him a white supremacist. 0.99

00:52:36.000 He's a racist. 0.98

00:52:37.000 But people on the right love him. 0.97

00:52:39.000 How do we discredit him?

00:52:40.000 Okay.

00:52:41.000 Well, we can't go to the Somali stuff, Trump's praise it. 1.00

00:52:43.000 We can't go to the Medicaid stuff.

00:52:45.000 People believe it.

00:52:45.000 Newsom's against it.

00:52:47.000 We need to go and find something else he's done that people cannot relate to and can't prove that we can question.

00:52:53.000 So if you were trying to intentionally discredit somebody, you would go into their work and find something like this.

00:52:59.000 Brazil. 1.00

00:53:00.000 Where the average person doesn't know how it works and then say, it's so dumb. 1.00

00:53:00.000 Right. 1.00

00:53:04.000 It's so dumb. 0.99

00:53:04.000 You don't walk up to gang members and just do this. 0.99

00:53:06.000 And the people who trust Candace are going to go, yeah, that is dumb. 0.97

00:53:09.000 But there's no way for them to connect those dots to anything in their lives. 0.94

00:53:12.000 Unless you understand the journalism.

00:53:14.000 Let me ask you this.

00:53:15.000 As an op, who is control, like who's giving her the business? 0.99

00:53:18.000 She's married to a British lord and her lawyers work in a building with federal agents.

00:53:21.000 So the people who believe Candace Owens, I'll say it again.

00:53:24.000 Tell me why her lawyers work in a building with federal agents. 1.00

00:53:27.000 Honest question.

00:53:28.000 I'm just curious.

00:53:28.000 We're just asking questions.

00:53:29.000 Nobody's answered it.

00:53:30.000 They just, the response given is it's a coincidence.

00:53:33.000 And I'm like, oh, that's a coincidence.

00:53:35.000 She's the one who revealed the address, too.

00:53:37.000 And then it went viral because people were like, I remember that.

00:53:39.000 I don't know.

00:53:40.000 They were like, she claimed that these government agents were going to these buildings and she showed the documents that proves it.

00:53:45.000 And then the left came out and said, that's her lawyer's office.

00:53:48.000 And we were like, what the?

00:53:50.000 And we corroborated it.

00:53:51.000 Has Nick Shirley responded to this, by the way?

00:53:51.000 It's true.

00:53:53.000 I think they did, and she backed off.

00:53:55.000 But either way, what is the point of going on your show and telling her largely female audience that Nick Shirley is a liar?

00:54:02.000 I think that it's just looking for drama.

00:54:05.000 No, I think she could fight drama anywhere. 0.59

00:54:08.000 She has the drama club.

00:54:09.000 She put my face on a thumbnail implying I was involved in the murder of Charlie Kirk.

00:54:14.000 So she wants drama. 0.99

00:54:15.000 She can easily get it.

00:54:16.000 This is discrediting Nick Shirley, who's not engaging otherwise in political debate.

00:54:19.000 Nick Shirley is not doing political shows where he says Democrats should lose.

00:54:24.000 He's just going and filming things that are happening.

00:54:26.000 And really talking about issues that matter to Americans.

00:54:29.000 By the way, this was old, like you just said.

00:54:30.000 Now, is she done with Erica Kirk?

00:54:33.000 No, I don't think so.

00:54:34.000 Oh, she hasn't.

00:54:35.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:54:36.000 I'm just saying Nick Shirley is not a culture, it's not culture war relevant unless you're anti-Trump, anti-populist.

00:54:43.000 And so.

00:54:44.000 She's been going hard against Trump.

00:54:46.000 She is in the faction that wants to share power with China.

00:54:51.000 Man, I would love to know more.

00:54:53.000 I don't want to assume her intention because I can't.

00:54:56.000 I would think like there's emergent AI bots that are commenting on all of our stuff.

00:55:00.000 Let me ask you a question.

00:55:02.000 Why did she go through Nick Shirley's video going back eight months to find the story?

00:55:06.000 She's been like, you know what?

00:55:06.000 One day she got hit by inspiration.

00:55:08.000 She was like, I wonder what, I got to look into this Nick Shirley guy.

00:55:11.000 She got hit by an inspiration.

00:55:12.000 No way.

00:55:12.000 It came in.

00:55:13.000 Serendipity.

00:55:14.000 And she was like, I got to look into this guy.

00:55:15.000 This is how Candace thinks.

00:55:17.000 I know you think.

00:55:17.000 I know you, Candace.

00:55:18.000 She's like, I got to look into this guy.

00:55:19.000 So she pulls up all his stuff and she's like, oh, this is interesting and looks at it.

00:55:22.000 She's like, it's not perfect.

00:55:23.000 I'm going to criticize it.

00:55:24.000 People need to know.

00:55:25.000 It's not perfect.

00:55:26.000 She called him a liar.

00:55:27.000 She said he fabricated the story.

00:55:28.000 That's not how she works. 0.99

00:55:29.000 That's not how her brain works.

00:55:30.000 She said he faked that news.

00:55:31.000 Yep.

00:55:32.000 That's not inspiration.

00:55:33.000 That's accusing Nick Shirley of being fake news, of being a plant.

00:55:36.000 Well, that's after the fact.

00:55:36.000 Like what she does.

00:55:37.000 On her show, she said, That's not how it works.

00:55:40.000 You didn't do this.

00:55:40.000 I don't believe it for a second.

00:55:42.000 I was in the bathroom when you ran the clip.

00:55:43.000 So I saw the end of the clip.

00:55:45.000 I just think I was just talking about why she did it in the future. 0.99

00:55:47.000 This is dumb. 1.00

00:55:48.000 It's so dumb. 1.00

00:55:49.000 I'm so tired of stupid. 1.00

00:55:50.000 This is not how it works. 1.00

00:55:51.000 You do not woke up to gangs as a nice little white boy and get these interviews and infiltrate these gangs.

00:55:55.000 It's insane.

00:55:56.000 She said he's like Sean Penn, who just shows up and the cartels just leave him alone. 0.91

00:56:00.000 She's a total narcissist to you guys. 1.00

00:56:01.000 We can't ignore that fact. 0.63

00:56:02.000 Since Charlie died, I know Candace.

00:56:04.000 Candace has been on the show. 0.85

00:56:05.000 I know you directly, Candace.

00:56:07.000 It seems like since Charlie was murdered that you went into madness.

00:56:10.000 And what I mean by that is, I know it's a silly child's word, but what that means is that there's pain and confusion together.

00:56:15.000 You don't know why you're in pain.

00:56:17.000 That was a terrifying, like, Charlie getting murdered.

00:56:19.000 Was like, there must be a bigger reason for that.

00:56:22.000 Because they want out of the madness.

00:56:24.000 I want there to be a reason.

00:56:25.000 My first reaction after Charlie was killed was to think, what can I do to destroy his legacy?

00:56:30.000 And then worked as hard as I could to fracture the coalition that got Trump elected, accused prominent young up-and-coming journalists who are exposing corruption.

00:56:36.000 I called them fake news and I attacked the widow.

00:56:39.000 That's sure you're hurt because of Charlie's death.

00:56:42.000 Right.

00:56:42.000 Trust me.

00:56:43.000 There's that phrase, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

00:56:46.000 Oh, yeah, like good intentions of targeting an up-and-coming journalist and accusing me of being a fat of fabricating news.

00:56:51.000 She doesn't like to be outshined by it.

00:56:51.000 Yeah, that's good news.

00:56:53.000 It does seem like an Alinsky tactic from Rules for Radicals to accuse something that you are doing.

00:56:59.000 Indeed, is doing, yeah.

00:57:00.000 Listen, Ian, think whatever you want, but there is literally no explanation as to why Nick Shirley, who has not attacked her, has not commented on the Erica Kirk stuff.

00:57:10.000 He literally just goes down and interviews people.

00:57:14.000 What is the purpose of attacking a person who does that?

00:57:16.000 For the Democrats, it's because he's exposing corruption.

00:57:19.000 But for Candace Owens, what does it serve?

00:57:21.000 Well, money, views, relevance.

00:57:24.000 Sure.

00:57:25.000 Talking about the popular shot right now.

00:57:27.000 Okay, so if your argument is that she's intentionally trying to destroy one of the best up-and-coming journalists we have to make money, I think is that what you think she's doing?

00:57:34.000 I don't think she's like, I would have to destroy this guy.

00:57:35.000 I think she says, if there's malfeasance here, I'm going to magnify it so people can see it.

00:57:40.000 And then she thinks it's malfeasance.

00:57:41.000 Well, I think it's narcissism to be aware of.

00:57:42.000 What malfeasance?

00:57:44.000 It's that he's faking this.

00:57:44.000 She thinks he's faking it.

00:57:45.000 So she made up that he faked it.

00:57:47.000 Yeah, that's a problem.

00:57:48.000 That's a big problem.

00:57:49.000 I'm not, what about it?

00:57:49.000 For money.

00:57:50.000 For money.

00:57:51.000 For like fame, relevance, power.

00:57:53.000 Why do we make videos at all?

00:57:54.000 I would call that.

00:57:54.000 What's the problem?

00:57:55.000 I want to tell the world myself.

00:57:56.000 She doesn't like to be outshined.

00:57:57.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:57:58.000 Who's left of her viewers, her followers?

00:58:00.000 Because every time.

00:58:01.000 But every time you look at the comments, it's like, I've lost so much respect.

00:58:01.000 A lot of people.

00:58:05.000 I'm out.

00:58:06.000 Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:58:07.000 Like, especially with this one.

00:58:08.000 It's the Maha women. 0.96

00:58:09.000 It's suburban women. 1.00

00:58:10.000 Yes.

00:58:10.000 Maha women.

00:58:11.000 I believe that.

00:58:12.000 But I had so much respect for them.

00:58:14.000 This is why I don't believe it's organic because Trump got pushed over the edge by Maha suburban women. 1.00

00:58:19.000 These were moderate women who didn't like Donald Trump and wouldn't vote for him. 1.00

00:58:22.000 RFK Jr. comes in, and they do. 0.59

00:58:24.000 Candace captures that female audience with her Stanley mug in front of her thing. 1.00

00:58:28.000 It's a heavily female-coated audience. 1.00

00:58:30.000 And then she starts attacking the successful elements of the right.

00:58:33.000 Turning point USA did voter drives that helped Donald Trump get elected.

00:58:36.000 Charlie dies and she immediately accuses Turning Point of being in on it, fracturing Turning Point and damaging their ability to continue helping the right populist movement.

00:58:46.000 Listen, I'm sorry.

00:58:47.000 There is zero reality where any person of legitimate reason or mind attacks Nick Shirley.

00:58:55.000 I'm sorry.

00:58:57.000 Erica Kirk, we could just start with Erica Kirk.

00:58:59.000 Why would she attack a woman? 0.99

00:59:01.000 Because she wore leather pants. 0.99

00:59:03.000 I'm not kidding.

00:59:03.000 Yes.

00:59:04.000 She wore leather pants.

00:59:04.000 If we were in private and she brought it up, I'd be like, you think so?

00:59:07.000 And then I would talk.

00:59:07.000 Why?

00:59:08.000 To amplify it on TV?

00:59:10.000 Like, that's an you might think it's just a thing in real life, but it is a big deal to put your thoughts on TV. 0.97

00:59:16.000 It is a huge fucking deal how that changes the way you.

00:59:20.000 And then she had a meeting with Erica Kirk, too. 0.98

00:59:22.000 And then even after that.

00:59:23.000 Yeah.

00:59:23.000 It was an arbitration.

00:59:24.000 And even after that, she tripled down.

00:59:27.000 I think the end result of what Candace is doing is going to be the end of Section 230. 1.00

00:59:33.000 I believe it's a component of this.

00:59:34.000 The powers that be want to end independent media.

00:59:38.000 Shows like this, they don't want to exist. 0.99

00:59:40.000 We've been suppressed and censored a million and one times.

00:59:43.000 Our biggest episode was deleted for three years and I had to fight to get it back.

00:59:46.000 The first time we had Alex Jones on, they told me I was allowed to and then deleted it right afterwards.

00:59:51.000 So we did another one.

00:59:52.000 Yeah, on YouTube.

00:59:53.000 So imagine what happens when you have 50,000 videos attacking Erica Kirk in the most deranged of ways.

01:00:00.000 To the point where when you go on threads, you've got women saying, Erica Kirk will get what's coming to her, mark my words. 0.94

01:00:05.000 It's an actual post.

01:00:05.000 I'm not kidding.

01:00:06.000 So insane.

01:00:08.000 What happens when something actually happens to Erica or her kids, Charlie's kids?

01:00:12.000 They're going to blame the internet.

01:00:14.000 You're going to get congressional hearings and they're going to bring YouTube in and say, why did you allow this?

01:00:18.000 And they're going to say, because we got attacked for political censorship for years, so we backed off.

01:00:24.000 Now you're asking us to bring it back.

01:00:26.000 And they're going to say, well, you're allowing mass defamation and now you are liable.

01:00:31.000 YouTube lost a lawsuit just the other day stating that there's precedent now that YouTube is responsible for what they're promoting.

01:00:39.000 So the argument is going to be no one's asking you to silence these people. 0.62

01:00:43.000 We're saying, why are you promoting Candace Owens to new users when you know that you said Bridget McCrone has a penis or that Erica Kirk did this, that, or otherwise? 0.81

01:00:54.000 And YouTube's going to say, then we'll stop doing it. 0.66

01:00:57.000 All of a sudden, then the algorithm changes.

01:00:59.000 And the only YouTube channels you get are the ones that YouTube signs exclusive contracts with.

01:01:04.000 You'll still be allowed to upload to YouTube.

01:01:06.000 It just will be nothing.

01:01:07.000 You will never be suggested or recommended.

01:01:10.000 That story you're talking about, the nine-year-old whose parents sued YouTube and Facebook and won $36 million.

01:01:16.000 Yes, this just happened the other day.

01:01:17.000 I think personally, that's a garbage case that'll get escalated and thrown out because, firstly, it's some weird California court. 0.61

01:01:23.000 And then secondly. 0.91

01:01:24.000 New Mexico did it too.

01:01:25.000 So it's, it's, look, if your kid cuts himself on a knife, that's not the knife company's fault. 0.98

01:01:30.000 The parents should not allow a nine-year-old on the freaking internet. 0.96

01:01:32.000 That is a parent's fault. 0.90

01:01:34.000 And so potentially they'll also ban under 18s from the internet.

01:01:34.000 I agree.

01:01:38.000 Australia banned under 16s.

01:01:39.000 Or parental supervision allowing their children on the internet.

01:01:42.000 How do you mean?

01:01:42.000 Government IDs required.

01:01:44.000 How do you mean?

01:01:45.000 X rolled out region blocking.

01:01:46.000 Do you guys see this?

01:01:47.000 Why do we need government IDs if we can't even, we don't even need them to vote?

01:01:51.000 Well, that's...

01:01:52.000 That's a whole other story.

01:01:53.000 It's not going to be the liberals' argument.

01:01:54.000 It's going to be the rights argument.

01:01:56.000 But so what you're saying is independent journalism is going to go away.

01:01:58.000 It will exist in some form, but it'll be the way it used to be in that you will produce a piece of media and then beg the big corporations to run it.

01:02:06.000 So then pirate radio.

01:02:07.000 Yeah.

01:02:07.000 Like mesh networking.

01:02:08.000 How long do you think it will take before that actually happens?

01:02:11.000 Well, I do think we're largely already in this space.

01:02:16.000 Just the fact that you've got a handful of people who break YouTube's rules to a great degree and YouTube still promotes them shows editorial selection.

01:02:25.000 Candace?

01:02:26.000 Her among others, right?

01:02:29.000 I'm surprised because we've had videos taken down for much less.

01:02:33.000 And I've said stuff on my personal channel and beyond where your normal guy might get it taken down, but the way I said it, they're like.

01:02:40.000 Oh, but Meta's the worst.

01:02:41.000 They've censored me for months at a time.

01:02:43.000 They're the worst.

01:02:44.000 And then you have no one to talk to because you're talking to AI.

01:02:46.000 I typed about George Floyd being on like amphetamines and what his thoughts are.

01:02:52.000 And I got blacklisted on Facebook.

01:02:53.000 Oh, TikTok too.

01:02:54.000 TikTok's.

01:02:55.000 Well, TikTok's changing.

01:02:56.000 Because it was bought by the Ellison.

01:02:56.000 Yeah.

01:02:59.000 Ellison.

01:03:00.000 So I can tell you for a fact that behind the scenes at TikTok, their editorial drive has flipped entirely.

01:03:05.000 Realistically, you don't want a giant corporation controlling your media network anyway.

01:03:10.000 No, you don't, but they're so threatened by independent media that that's probably why they're doing this.

01:03:15.000 Very likely.

01:03:17.000 Who's watching mainstream media?

01:03:18.000 Nobody.

01:03:19.000 Exactly.

01:03:19.000 But I'm telling you, I already know where this is going because I'm talking to these companies even right now.

01:03:23.000 And the plan is, it was described to me this way.

01:03:28.000 In the future, there are going to be three big subscription services.

01:03:33.000 And the only thing people consume are going to be through these services.

01:03:36.000 YouTube will probably be one of them.

01:03:37.000 Then you've got Peacock or CBS.

01:03:39.000 And, you know, so it's going to...

01:03:41.000 Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate.

01:03:43.000 So look at CBS.

01:03:43.000 Right.

01:03:44.000 If CBS buys Warner Brothers, they own CNN.

01:03:47.000 So that puts everything under the Paramount Plus brand.

01:03:50.000 So you're going to have potentially Peacock.

01:03:53.000 You're going to have three to five big networks.

01:03:56.000 You're going to download the app.

01:03:57.000 You're going to pay your subscription fee of $10.99 or $19.99 per month.

01:04:01.000 And you're not going to watch YouTube anymore.

01:04:04.000 So the way I liken it is $1999.

01:04:07.000 You'll just be able to do whatever you want.

01:04:08.000 No, you're going to be like, oh, turn on Netflix.

01:04:10.000 Turn on YouTube.

01:04:12.000 1999.

01:04:13.000 Anybody could download any song they wanted.

01:04:15.000 It destroyed the music industry.

01:04:16.000 And then they wrapped it back up and created streaming services.

01:04:20.000 Then you had mega upload.

01:04:21.000 Did you guys see the Supreme Court ruling now on mega upload?

01:04:24.000 No.

01:04:25.000 They explicitly, this is hilarious, poorkim.com, that I'll give you the quick gist, that secondary copyright infringement from users is not the fault of the service platform, which is what they rated and shut down Mega Upload for.

01:04:37.000 So in the 2000s, you get mega upload.

01:04:39.000 Now movies are free.

01:04:41.000 So what do they do?

01:04:42.000 And now you have Amazon.

01:04:42.000 They shut it down.

01:04:44.000 Now you have YouTube where political commentary and social discourse has been running like crazy for the past 10 years.

01:04:50.000 They're going to shut it down and they're going to stick it back on the front page of their streaming services.

01:04:55.000 Everything will be through the official mainstream channels.

01:04:58.000 If you want to listen to a song, how do you get it?

01:05:00.000 Apple Music or Spotify.

01:05:02.000 If you want to watch it, generation follow 100%. 0.85

01:05:05.000 I mean, they love their apps here and there.

01:05:07.000 They love their music.

01:05:08.000 And when they go home, it's going to be a TV screen where they're going to have three apps and they're going to be like, what's on Paramount?

01:05:13.000 And they're going to open up Paramount and they're going to be like, oh, I love watching real time with Ian Crossland.

01:05:18.000 Ilmar 70.

01:05:20.000 That's for like pleb action. 0.98

01:05:20.000 There'll be both. 0.98

01:05:22.000 There'll be hot pleb action and three big networks. 0.94

01:05:24.000 And then everyone else will have their code.

01:05:26.000 Like you'll be able to go into Rumble, systems like Free Systems where you can interoperate and send each other crypto.

01:05:31.000 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:05:31.000 Rumble.

01:05:32.000 We have Rumble Wallet. 0.63

01:05:33.000 No, no, no, listen.

01:05:34.000 Rumble already largely has their front page.

01:05:37.000 We're on the front page of Rumble right now as one of their premiere shows.

01:05:41.000 We could do everything is going in this direction.

01:05:42.000 One of my companies is building decentralized software where you can upload your video to like a Rumble server and then everyone else that has that software can see your content and it's kind of like its own network.

01:05:53.000 Ian, understand.

01:05:54.000 You can technically build that into a browser.

01:05:55.000 You can listen to any song you want right now on Apple or Spotify, right?

01:06:00.000 But when you open the app.

01:06:01.000 Not rolling Orzabal stuff, unfortunately.

01:06:03.000 Tommy needs to be streaming outside.

01:06:05.000 I want to.

01:06:05.000 So when you open Apple and the list you get of available, I go to my Tesla and I go to the music and it tells me what to listen to.

01:06:13.000 And when I play it, what am I going to get?

01:06:14.000 Sabrina Carpenter a weekend?

01:06:16.000 You're not going to get Ian Crossland.

01:06:18.000 You're not going to get all that remains.

01:06:20.000 You might get all that remains if you pick a metal channel somewhere further down.

01:06:23.000 That's true.

01:06:25.000 Timcast is available on the, if you go on Tesla, you can listen to what you guys did.

01:06:28.000 If you go to Tesla and go to the music and type in Timcast, my songs are there.

01:06:32.000 But they will never promote them.

01:06:34.000 The algorithm is promoting it to me because it knows that I click on IRL, so I get your music.

01:06:39.000 Yeah, I got it.

01:06:41.000 And that's going to go away.

01:06:42.000 It's going away.

01:06:43.000 Well, if we get rid of an algorithm completely, you're saying everything is just time.

01:06:46.000 Because YouTube is legally liable for what their algorithm does.

01:06:51.000 They are going to say no more algorithms.

01:06:53.000 So they're not going to feed new viewers out there and make you grow.

01:06:58.000 Right?

01:06:59.000 So essentially, your followers have to hear you.

01:07:01.000 You can upload your songs to Spotify.

01:07:03.000 Spotify is never going to put it on rotation.

01:07:06.000 And they say, What do you mean?

01:07:07.000 Your song's right there.

01:07:07.000 You have your free speech.

01:07:08.000 Just no one ever heard of you.

01:07:09.000 It's not our fault.

01:07:10.000 Yeah, well, I started doing YouTube.

01:07:12.000 Hold on, that ban.

01:07:13.000 They would literally pick a video and put it on.

01:07:15.000 Indeed, that ban you just signed, you signed a ban and you put them in your rotation.

01:07:19.000 And they're going to say, That's right, because it's ours.

01:07:21.000 And that's what's going to happen.

01:07:23.000 YouTube will still have podcasts.

01:07:25.000 Jimmy Doerr will still be on YouTube, but YouTube is going to say he will never be in our roads.

01:07:29.000 I think if you do an algorithm other than you know, time algorithms, like whatever's the most recent thing is what's in front of you, if it's an open algorithm and it's government-approved, like the people, we, the people, are like, that's a reasonable algorithm that we could use that.

01:07:43.000 Who's going to check the algorithm to decide if it's reasonable?

01:07:46.000 But hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:07:47.000 Okay, guys.

01:07:48.000 I didn't say, listen.

01:07:49.000 Is it possible?

01:07:50.000 I said, I'm not going to do that.

01:07:51.000 I am telling you right now, YouTube is liable for their algorithm for any perceived damages.

01:07:57.000 There is only one way around that.

01:07:59.000 No algorithm.

01:08:00.000 Yeah, but what does that mean?

01:08:01.000 There's still an algorithm.

01:08:02.000 No.

01:08:02.000 If it's just like time-based, you know, whatever you want to call that?

01:08:05.000 No.

01:08:06.000 Still technically an algorithm.

01:08:07.000 Is it just like the most recent thing is what you see?

01:08:09.000 No.

01:08:10.000 Then what do you see when youTube editorially signs contracts with big channels and puts them on the front page like the New York Times puts articles?

01:08:16.000 It's the same thing.

01:08:17.000 If there's any feeds, you're getting rid of feeds completely.

01:08:19.000 Yes.

01:08:19.000 I don't do.

01:08:20.000 Why would you do that?

01:08:21.000 That's like, why would you do that?

01:08:22.000 To control the narrative and make everybody believe what you want them to believe.

01:08:26.000 That's not the idea.

01:08:27.000 Because most people don't.

01:08:28.000 Yes, it is.

01:08:28.000 That's what for YouTube it is.

01:08:30.000 They're getting rid of independent journalism.

01:08:31.000 That's what's the point.

01:08:33.000 The big investors in the government.

01:08:36.000 You think the Ellisons bought CBS for fun?

01:08:40.000 No, I know why.

01:08:41.000 Why did they buy it?

01:08:42.000 Why did they buy TikTok?

01:08:43.000 The government is trying to control people's minds so that they can make you eat paste and shut up.

01:08:48.000 So why would they let people speak freely when the precedent set now is you are legally liable?

01:08:54.000 They have every opportunity.

01:08:55.000 You be free.

01:08:56.000 That's not what the world is about.

01:08:58.000 What does that have to do with powerful elites trying to shut you out?

01:09:02.000 That don't bow down and acquiesce at the first sign with them giving you a lot of people.

01:09:05.000 That has to do with it.

01:09:07.000 What does what have to do with it?

01:09:08.000 You may want a lot of things, Ian.

01:09:10.000 It doesn't matter if the people who own those things won't give them to you.

01:09:16.000 You're making it, you're not making the distinction between is and ought, right?

01:09:20.000 So you're talking about the way things ought to be, the way you think things ought to be.

01:09:24.000 But what you're dealing with when it comes to the scenario that Tim's talking about is the way that it is.

01:09:30.000 If no changes happen, that is the path we are on.

01:09:33.000 Yes.

01:09:33.000 But changes will and can happen.

01:09:35.000 And those changes that are happening right now is, as I stated, you used to be able to download any song you wanted.

01:09:40.000 What happened, Ian?

01:09:41.000 They commutized it.

01:09:42.000 Yeah.

01:09:42.000 Now you have to do it.

01:09:43.000 They sued people.

01:09:44.000 They criminally charged people.

01:09:46.000 And then they pushed all of digital music into a single system where they decide what you listen to.

01:09:51.000 That's why when Carter and I had songs that should have charted on a billboard, they lied to us and didn't count it.

01:09:57.000 The whole week when we had together again for sale, what did we add?

01:10:00.000 30,000 sales in one week?

01:10:02.000 6.4 million views on YouTube, right?

01:10:03.000 40 something,000.

01:10:04.000 40,000.

01:10:04.000 So what you're saying is that we're going to be talking about it.

01:10:05.000 So hold on, we had 40,000 sales of our song.

01:10:08.000 I'm number one on the 200.

01:10:10.000 It's such a good song.

01:10:11.000 You thought we were going to be number one?

01:10:12.000 If they would have counted all that, yes.

01:10:14.000 Instead, they told us during the week where we were selling.

01:10:18.000 We said, it was our Kawara, seventh release.

01:10:20.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:10:21.000 And honestly, dude, we pushed iTunes for pre-sales and got like 2,500 and still got like six on the charts.

01:10:28.000 And so we said, this is our seventh release.

01:10:31.000 We keep getting mistakes on billboard charting.

01:10:34.000 For some reason, tell us what to do.

01:10:36.000 They said, here's what you need to do.

01:10:37.000 We even paid for a service for Illuminate.

01:10:40.000 And they said, here's what you do.

01:10:42.000 And I said, okay, we are putting the song up.

01:10:44.000 We are going to do what you tell us to do.

01:10:46.000 We are going to sell the song.

01:10:48.000 The Daily Wire helped promote it because it was a cover of Jeremy Boring's song with Michael Knowles.

01:10:53.000 The song releases selling like hotcakes.

01:10:57.000 So we know with the data in the back end, we're tracking really well to massively storm the charts.

01:11:03.000 We reach out to all involved, three different companies.

01:11:07.000 Is this the right way to do it?

01:11:08.000 And they said, yes, everything looks good.

01:11:11.000 When the week ended, they did not count our sales and we got ninth place in sales.

01:11:17.000 And we said, hold on.

01:11:19.000 We had something like 40,000 singles sold, making us like the number one single for the week.

01:11:23.000 And they said, we don't count your singles.

01:11:26.000 And we said, why?

01:11:28.000 Because the machine controls what you are allowed to hear.

01:11:31.000 And Carter Banks and Timpool are not allowed to be rock stars on the billboard.

01:11:34.000 It doesn't control what you can hear.

01:11:36.000 We got something like that.

01:11:38.000 We got something like 15 million streams or whatever on that song.

01:11:40.000 Oh, yeah.

01:11:41.000 It's very much like the Oscars.

01:11:42.000 No, they're not going to put me in the Oscars.

01:11:44.000 Even if I do the best movie on Earth and it wins.

01:11:46.000 Exactly.

01:11:46.000 The thing is, they know what I'm going to rule.

01:11:48.000 They changed the rules.

01:11:48.000 The point.

01:11:48.000 Exactly.

01:11:50.000 And bro, bro, here's the funny thing.

01:11:51.000 Because of us, didn't they change the rules again?

01:11:54.000 I guess we got kicked off Bandcamp.

01:11:54.000 Like three times?

01:11:57.000 There's like three services you can use to sell digital downloads that they will accept.

01:12:02.000 And Bandcamp was one of them.

01:12:03.000 We had to create a band Zoogle.

01:12:05.000 We got banned from Bandcamp because we were because like the machine only allows the people they choose to speak.

01:12:14.000 And that was during the Biden administration.

01:12:15.000 We were talking really critical about the people.

01:12:17.000 And the machine is now going to continue to control independent journalists.

01:12:21.000 And what you're saying is we've had a good run.

01:12:25.000 Well, there's still going to be, as there always is, independent musicians.

01:12:31.000 They'll make okay money.

01:12:32.000 Independent media will exist.

01:12:34.000 You will find ways to the cracks, but it's largely going to be solidified.

01:12:37.000 Right.

01:12:38.000 Short films sometimes make it.

01:12:39.000 But usually if you're not on Amazon, I mean, how is everyone going to find your film?

01:12:43.000 They're not going to know.

01:12:44.000 So there will be some virality engines through, say, X.

01:12:44.000 Yeah.

01:12:48.000 But in the dawn of Facebook and Twitter, virality engines were massive.

01:12:53.000 You could make a video and it would go viral.

01:12:55.000 There was no control over what people were able to push up and see.

01:12:58.000 This is how 4chan was able to do a bunch of operations.

01:13:01.000 They've shut that down.

01:13:02.000 Facebook has banned everybody and there's no more virality.

01:13:06.000 I don't know if people remember this, but in the 2000s, in the early 2010s, you could film a video and it would end up on Reddit, hit the front page, and before you knew it, you had millions of views.

01:13:06.000 It is gone.

01:13:17.000 Yeah, yeah, that's how we promoted minds.

01:13:18.000 That's how it's gone.

01:13:19.000 With Facebook marketing, it's gone.

01:13:21.000 It's not marketing, man.

01:13:22.000 That never happens anymore.

01:13:23.000 It's gone.

01:13:23.000 Reddit would ban you if they found out you were doing it.

01:13:25.000 They would try and stop you, but you're not doing it.

01:13:27.000 I'm not talking about doing anything.

01:13:28.000 I'm saying people could post your content and it would go viral.

01:13:31.000 No longer does this happen.

01:13:33.000 If they knew that I was the one posting it, they would stop it.

01:13:35.000 That was the rule.

01:13:36.000 You're allowed to post your own content.

01:13:38.000 Yeah, but you're not uploading it.

01:13:39.000 I would still delete it for some reason.

01:13:41.000 Speaking of virality, did you mention that Elon Musk responded to you?

01:13:45.000 Yeah, someone, Kettlebell Dan, said we should set it so that you can charge people to DM you and a set amount.

01:13:54.000 And I agree.

01:13:55.000 And then I said, I agree.

01:13:56.000 Let's do it.

01:13:57.000 He said, okay.

01:13:57.000 Elon.

01:13:58.000 So the idea is that, so right now, I'll put it like this.

01:13:58.000 Yeah.

01:14:02.000 My DMs are closed.

01:14:03.000 Nobody can DM me because otherwise with 2.5 million followers.

01:14:08.000 It would be impossible.

01:14:09.000 However, there are some circumstances where I have no problem with anyone DMing me.

01:14:13.000 So right now it's closed to only people that I follow and know can DM me.

01:14:17.000 Imagine if he opened it up that said, if you would like to DM this person, it costs $20.

01:14:22.000 Now, some might say, and they did, that's BS.

01:14:24.000 Why should I give you money to try and talk to you?

01:14:26.000 Well, because I don't want 7,000 messages per hour.

01:14:30.000 My mentions are already unreadable.

01:14:32.000 But if someone truly wants to get through and they do $20, that dramatically reduces spam.

01:14:38.000 It eliminates bots.

01:14:39.000 It gives me an incentive to actually read these messages, a way to monetize the platform for high-profile creators.

01:14:46.000 And if people are truly serious and have something important to say they're willing to spend 20 bucks on, then they will.

01:14:51.000 Listen, no one.

01:14:53.000 Exactly.

01:14:53.000 Look, I agree with you.

01:14:54.000 I had an experience on Alaska Airlines not too long ago, and I wanted to try to send an email to one of their executives.

01:14:59.000 Every single email I found bounced back because they only want you to deal with their AI bots online or their customer service if you can get through to them.

01:15:10.000 So, like you said, to your point, if somebody wants to talk to you and you have what, how many, 2 million followers?

01:15:15.000 2.5.

01:15:17.000 Congratulations.

01:15:18.000 I'm not, I'm not, I'm not putting my DMs.

01:15:20.000 I would get 10,000 messages every hour or more, probably more than that.

01:15:23.000 My mentions are already just unreadable.

01:15:25.000 I click mention and it's just a feed flying like crazy.

01:15:28.000 Yeah, you can't get it.

01:15:28.000 Not happening.

01:15:29.000 And then don't get me started on when I start trending for whatever reason, if people are talking about me or I do something controversial.

01:15:35.000 But there's with Cameo and similar services, not only with Cameo, can you offer to pay someone for a shout out, you can also set it so that they can send you messages, business deals, or requests for money.

01:15:49.000 I wonder if X will take a percentage or just keep it free, keep it completely free.

01:15:55.000 It's a free money guy.

01:15:56.000 It'll be free.

01:15:57.000 It's a 30%.

01:15:57.000 I don't think it's fine.

01:15:58.000 It'll be free.

01:15:58.000 You know why it'll be free?

01:15:59.000 Why?

01:15:59.000 Because Elon needs a machine to get people to use X money.

01:16:02.000 Yeah, I was just going to say because of X money.

01:16:04.000 He wants to roll out X money where you can use the X app to buy.

01:16:07.000 I'm a funny music video.

01:16:08.000 How does he get people to universally adopt this?

01:16:11.000 High-profile individuals with a monetary incentive to have money in their X accounts, which they will then be like, I can use X money.

01:16:17.000 I got 60 bucks because I got a bunch of messages.

01:16:20.000 Regular people will then have a reason to load money onto their X account to then DM people.

01:16:25.000 It's a brilliant play.

01:16:26.000 I hope he does it.

01:16:27.000 Part of the future of independent journalism for sure.

01:16:29.000 That's how independent journals will stay alive and stay eating.

01:16:33.000 Well, now even the monetization, I know back in the day, like with EU, you could make like $10,000 a month on X.

01:16:38.000 I don't even think that's the case anymore.

01:16:40.000 Do you see Libs of TikTok? 0.99

01:16:40.000 Well, I did. 0.99

01:16:41.000 TikTok actually, did you see Libs of TikTok?

01:16:44.000 I get like $7K a month.

01:16:45.000 Yeah, there was a, there was a, I saw what you're talking about, the $10,000?

01:16:48.000 That happened to me actually happening.

01:16:49.000 What is that?

01:16:50.000 I have a significantly.

01:16:50.000 I don't know.

01:16:51.000 It's premium.

01:16:52.000 It's gold check.

01:16:54.000 Okay.

01:16:54.000 So the X gold check, everybody, like a lot of hyper for us, it was like $20,000 a year.

01:17:00.000 And we stopped because they don't do anything for you.

01:17:03.000 It's basically like, hey, if you give us $10,000, we'll give you gold check and $10,000 in ads.

01:17:08.000 Well, the first thing that happened was I wanted the Timcast, my personal at Timcast to be the principal account.

01:17:14.000 And they told me no because it was personal, despite the fact a ton of people got their personal accounts verified.

01:17:20.000 Yeah.

01:17:21.000 Gold check.

01:17:22.000 So we did it for Timcast News.

01:17:24.000 Here's what happened.

01:17:25.000 One day I get a text message from my bank saying, did you just spend 20 grand on premium business?

01:17:31.000 That's all it said was premium business. 0.99

01:17:32.000 And I said, what the fuck is that? 0.99

01:17:34.000 No. 0.99

01:17:35.000 So I go and I ask, you know, our like admins, what's this credit card bill for 20 grand?

01:17:40.000 Pull it up.

01:17:40.000 No idea.

01:17:41.000 We go and look at the statement and it says premium business 20 grand.

01:17:44.000 And we're like, yeah, okay, this looks like a scam.

01:17:47.000 So I call my bank and I say, we can't identify this purchase.

01:17:50.000 It's $20,000.

01:17:51.000 And they were like, okay, then we're going to block it.

01:17:53.000 Three days later, gold check removed.

01:17:56.000 Everybody loses verification.

01:17:58.000 And we went, ah, that's what that was.

01:18:01.000 It was the yearly.

01:18:02.000 And then I said, well, hold on a minute.

01:18:03.000 Hold on a minute.

01:18:04.000 Why is it $20,000?

01:18:06.000 And then we went through it and it's something like, if you have a business account, for every person you add to your account, it's like $100.

01:18:13.000 And then I said, guys, it's like $10 to get your own blue check.

01:18:16.000 I'm not spending $100 a person when it's $10 a person.

01:18:19.000 So we told them, yeah, we're not interested anymore.

01:18:22.000 Apparently, libs of TikTok's the same thing and they charged them anyway.

01:18:24.000 Well, that's what she was saying.

01:18:25.000 That's they were posting.

01:18:27.000 They're like, I just got a $10,000 bill.

01:18:29.000 Can somebody help me?

01:18:29.000 And I'm like, what is this?

01:18:30.000 I had no idea what that was.

01:18:31.000 Did you know?

01:18:32.000 Yes, it's premium business.

01:18:36.000 It's purely cosmetic.

01:18:37.000 You get it.

01:18:38.000 Well, here's the thing.

01:18:39.000 You get a golden check mark.

01:18:41.000 You can then add people to your account who get your little badge.

01:18:44.000 And it's like $100 a person.

01:18:45.000 So for us, it was $20,000 a year, which is like $2,000 a month.

01:18:48.000 It's crazy.

01:18:49.000 It's like a little bit less.

01:18:50.000 But you get preferred access to the people at X.

01:18:53.000 So it is valuable because like you were saying with Facebook, it's all bots.

01:18:57.000 With premium business, you call a person on the phone and they fix problems for you.

01:19:01.000 So it does have that value.

01:19:02.000 The only thing is, I said I'll just buy premium personally for myself for 30 bucks a month or whatever.

01:19:08.000 And how often are you calling them?

01:19:09.000 Never.

01:19:10.000 Exactly.

01:19:10.000 Never.

01:19:12.000 But I do hope that Elon creates something.

01:19:15.000 So you do get 10,000 free ad credits and we use them.

01:19:17.000 We did.

01:19:18.000 I just ultimately said, I don't know that we have enough of a marketing campaign on X for it to make it worth it.

01:19:23.000 For a big brand, it does make a lot of sense because you're just going to promote your brand using X platform, which works.

01:19:29.000 But we don't really run ads that much on X, which we could.

01:19:33.000 So, you know, it's valuable if you're selling pizza and you have like a big restaurant chain.

01:19:38.000 But for us, didn't quite make sense.

01:19:40.000 I wonder if you could add functionality to the gold check mark itself.

01:19:44.000 Like if I click on it, it takes me to a list of all the people that are in that organization.

01:19:48.000 I think it does do that.

01:19:49.000 Some online analytics.

01:19:50.000 I think it does do that.

01:19:51.000 I've like never checked on a gold check mark.

01:19:53.000 But you'll notice you see the badge next to someone's name.

01:19:53.000 Yeah.

01:19:56.000 They'll say like Timcast.

01:19:57.000 And then click it.

01:19:57.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:19:58.000 That's gold.

01:19:58.000 No.

01:19:59.000 No.

01:19:59.000 Next to one of their affiliates' names will be their company's profile.

01:20:03.000 Does everyone in the org get access to the call then?

01:20:06.000 You pay for other people to the company?

01:20:09.000 Yeah, I mean, it's better the way it's, it's better than how they used to do it when it was run by the, by the FBI.

01:20:13.000 I'm saying like if there were, if you had like 20 people you were paying for $100 each for the month, could any of those 20 people call helpline?

01:20:13.000 Yeah.

01:20:20.000 So it opens up to the employee network.

01:20:20.000 Oh, okay.

01:20:22.000 Well, it's whatever you as the boss of your company spending the money.

01:20:25.000 It's whoever you want to give the phone number to.

01:20:27.000 So I could be like, hey, Phil, I need you to call X.

01:20:29.000 Here's the number.

01:20:30.000 This is the problem, which wouldn't make sense to give Phil the number, but he could call me if he wanted to.

01:20:33.000 By the way, guys, Nick Shirley just spoke at CPAC, and people are praising him, saying he delivered a historic speech.

01:20:39.000 Amazing.

01:20:39.000 I don't know.

01:20:40.000 I haven't legend.

01:20:41.000 Yeah, there's like a bit of a little clip, but I'm not going to play it.

01:20:44.000 You can find it.

01:20:44.000 You can play.

01:20:46.000 We need more Nick Shirley's.

01:20:47.000 We need more Nate Friedman's.

01:20:49.000 We need more Cam Higby's.

01:20:50.000 Oh, Nick, can we talk about Nick Friedman?

01:20:51.000 He's doing an amazing job.

01:20:53.000 Sorry.

01:20:53.000 I know.

01:20:53.000 Nate Friedman.

01:20:54.000 He's doing an incredible job.

01:20:55.000 Yeah.

01:20:55.000 And it's, and, you know, Nick Shirley's really taking the spotlight.

01:20:58.000 You got these three young guys all popping up doing this ground, this on-the-ground journalism.

01:21:02.000 Nick Shirley just skyrocketed to the moon, but let's not forget these other guys are doing great work on the ground.

01:21:07.000 I can't.

01:21:07.000 I'm an old man.

01:21:08.000 I was going to say, and you know who opened the doors for them?

01:21:08.000 No, no, no.

01:21:11.000 It was people like you.

01:21:13.000 I want people to know how journalism is.

01:21:15.000 You grind.

01:21:16.000 I've spent so many years, you know, when you're in local news, you're grinding day in, day out.

01:21:16.000 Okay.

01:21:20.000 And even what you do now, Tim, it's remarkable.

01:21:24.000 The fact that you can go on air and you can speak for three hours.

01:21:27.000 I think people think that's easy.

01:21:28.000 It's not easy.

01:21:30.000 Well, I know, but still, like, you got to have the topic.

01:21:32.000 I've been doing it for decades.

01:21:33.000 But there's preparation that goes into it.

01:21:34.000 It's not like you're not reading.

01:21:36.000 You're not constantly educating yourself.

01:21:37.000 It's a lot of work.

01:21:38.000 It's not like a regular job where you're like, you know what, today I'm going to go wash the dishes and I'm just not going to use my brain.

01:21:43.000 That's not how this works.

01:21:44.000 I spent years in media.

01:21:45.000 Like even when I did a morning show, I would go in at like I'd be on air by 4.30 and then I'd be on until 1 p.m.

01:21:51.000 That's a lot of airtime and that's a lot of work and you have to be prepared.

01:21:55.000 You have to know what you're talking about.

01:21:56.000 The longest I've ever gone, it was during Occupy.

01:21:58.000 I was live for 21 hours.

01:22:00.000 You were live the entire time?

01:22:01.000 Yeah, 21 hours.

01:22:03.000 People were bringing me batteries because my phone was dying.

01:22:06.000 And then at one point, I had no battery.

01:22:08.000 So there was a guy who, this guy, Justin, had a laptop in his backpack.

01:22:12.000 So I plugged my phone into his laptop and ran alongside him to get a trickle charge off his laptop.

01:22:17.000 And then people went to this old tech store that doesn't exist anymore called JNR and bought these big energizer batteries and then would run them to me and they would have like 70%.

01:22:25.000 I'd plug in my phone to keep it going.

01:22:27.000 21 hours straight.

01:22:29.000 Did you go to the bathroom?

01:22:30.000 Yes.

01:22:30.000 What did you do with the recording?

01:22:32.000 Handed the phone to somebody, ran in the bathroom, ran out.

01:22:34.000 And then it got to the point where I was so exhausted and malnourished, I couldn't open my hand anymore.

01:22:38.000 Oh, like potassium or something.

01:22:40.000 It was raining.

01:22:40.000 Yep.

01:22:41.000 And I was like, I can't open my hand.

01:22:43.000 It's cramped.

01:22:44.000 It's locked.

01:22:45.000 I need a banana.

01:22:45.000 I'm dehydrated.

01:22:46.000 And then someone ran and brought me a naked juice and I slammed it and I was like, let's go.

01:22:51.000 But you also have the gift of gab.

01:22:52.000 Okay.

01:22:53.000 Not everybody can speak for 21 hours.

01:22:55.000 Yeah.

01:22:56.000 Where'd you get that gift from?

01:22:57.000 Your mom or your dad?

01:22:59.000 The strategy is.

01:23:00.000 No, but really, no, you're not.

01:23:03.000 The strategy is: here's the trick: when you're streaming online, it's easy to talk forever because there's a chat feed constantly going.

01:23:10.000 So when you're walking down the street, if there's nothing to talk about, you just say, let's go to the chat and see what they're saying.

01:23:15.000 And then you start reading part of Tim's thing is he's got a really, really remarkable memory.

01:23:20.000 Oh, he can just recall things.

01:23:22.000 He'll sit there and list off poker hands that he was playing two days ago or last weekend.

01:23:26.000 I can tell you a poker hand I played three years ago.

01:23:29.000 Yeah, so that's a real, real good edge.

01:23:33.000 Yeah.

01:23:34.000 Yeah, I don't want to like, you know, like shoot it up your, you know, whatever, but good job, man.

01:23:38.000 Yeah, no.

01:23:39.000 That's right.

01:23:40.000 I just want people to know.

01:23:40.000 He has no control over his memory.

01:23:43.000 That's not shooting it up as much, you know?

01:23:45.000 As we're crediting these young, up-and-coming journalists, I just want people to know that there are people like, you know, Tim who set the tone, you know, back in the day.

01:23:54.000 It's video games.

01:23:54.000 You know what the trick is?

01:23:55.000 I am not age.

01:23:56.000 I have a good memory because of one video game.

01:23:58.000 Which one?

01:23:59.000 Ian, you might be able to make a guess.

01:24:00.000 Based on my age, what game would I have played when I was young that would be good for my memory?

01:24:05.000 I'll give you.

01:24:08.000 God.

01:24:09.000 I mean, my guess is because Chrono Trigger, but it's not Mahjong.

01:24:14.000 I don't think.

01:24:14.000 No.

01:24:15.000 I am 40 years old.

01:24:15.000 And I was.

01:24:16.000 Mario Bros.

01:24:17.000 I'm just kidding.

01:24:18.000 Yes.

01:24:19.000 Which one?

01:24:20.000 Super Mario.

01:24:21.000 Which one?

01:24:22.000 Because I used to.

01:24:23.000 I'm not in for it.

01:24:24.000 This is a very easy one.

01:24:25.000 Chat.

01:24:26.000 Can you figure out which game I'm talking about?

01:24:28.000 Super Mario World. 0.97

01:24:29.000 You are all uncultured heathens.

01:24:31.000 It's Super Mario 3.

01:24:32.000 Super Mario 3.

01:24:33.000 Do you know why?

01:24:34.000 Why?

01:24:34.000 Because they have a memory game as a bonus in Mario.

01:24:39.000 So in Mario 3, if you beat certain levels with a certain time or coin amount, you will get, I think it's called the N card.

01:24:45.000 Dude.

01:24:46.000 And when you go to it, you will then get a game of memory where if you can match without making, I think, what is it, two errors, you will get the items.

01:24:54.000 And so every time I'm playing that game, not only did I have to memorize where the star was, here's what else I memorized.

01:25:00.000 There were only, I think, four different memory games.

01:25:04.000 And so, based on where the first, there's like the top left corner is a 10 coin.

01:25:09.000 Then you go down to the bottom and write one as a 10 coin.

01:25:12.000 And if I saw that, I instantly knew the entire thing.

01:25:15.000 Is it Super Nintendo or Nintendo?

01:25:17.000 Okay, NES.

01:25:17.000 Yes.

01:25:18.000 How about this one for you, Ian?

01:25:18.000 Yeah.

01:25:20.000 Have you played?

01:25:20.000 Memory?

01:25:22.000 Memory for your kids.

01:25:23.000 If you guys have, that's the game we played all the time growing up, like a lot, not all the time.

01:25:26.000 And guess who?

01:25:27.000 But memory, dude.

01:25:28.000 Here you go.

01:25:29.000 Memory for your kids.

01:25:30.000 B-A-B-A, up, down, B-A, left, right, B-A start.

01:25:35.000 Okay.

01:25:35.000 Teenage Ninja Turtles 2 level select code.

01:25:38.000 Try it.

01:25:38.000 I'm not wrong.

01:25:39.000 Oh, I don't know if I ever used that code.

01:25:41.000 It gives you nine lives.

01:25:42.000 It gives you nine extra lives because you also have zero and you can choose any stage you want.

01:25:46.000 Read a lot of books as a kid?

01:25:47.000 Nope.

01:25:48.000 Just Harry Potter.

01:25:50.000 Yeah.

01:25:50.000 Oh.

01:25:51.000 And Still Life with Woodpecker.

01:25:53.000 Still Life with Woodpecker.

01:25:55.000 I don't know.

01:25:55.000 Yeah.

01:25:56.000 Do you remember the orange gun?

01:25:58.000 The orange gun?

01:25:59.000 The zapper?

01:25:59.000 Yes.

01:26:00.000 Super Nintendo.

01:26:00.000 Ours was great.

01:26:01.000 Oh, yeah.

01:26:02.000 The early one was great.

01:26:03.000 Yeah, the early one was.

01:26:04.000 Right?

01:26:04.000 Was it orange?

01:26:05.000 It was orange, right?

01:26:06.000 Orange one.

01:26:06.000 There was an orange one.

01:26:07.000 Yeah.

01:26:07.000 Mine was gray.

01:26:08.000 Still life with who?

01:26:09.000 Woodpecker.

01:26:10.000 He made it orange because it didn't read all the Harry Potter books when I was a little kid.

01:26:10.000 This was the one.

01:26:14.000 All seven of them.

01:26:15.000 Bro, it was an experience.

01:26:17.000 I remember, like, I remember being, I think I was 18 years old, and I was reading a social media post on Live Journal from a friend.

01:26:24.000 And they said, Can you believe that by the time the last book comes out, we'll be 21 years old?

01:26:28.000 And you were like, wow.

01:26:30.000 Wait, there, there was no social media back then.

01:26:32.000 Yeah, Live Journal, UJour.

01:26:33.000 Oh, yeah.

01:26:33.000 Live Journal.

01:26:34.000 When I was 18, we had friends there in MySpace.

01:26:35.000 Yeah, MySpace.

01:26:36.000 Remember?

01:26:37.000 Oh, MySpace.

01:26:38.000 I used UJournal.

01:26:39.000 I used MySpace.

01:26:40.000 That was how I started on YouTube because I wanted to send my friends my videos.

01:26:43.000 I'm like, I'm having these ideas about breaking through fear and being open and like communication with people.

01:26:48.000 And then so I'd embed them in MySpace and mail them.

01:26:50.000 And then people just started responding on YouTube.

01:26:52.000 I'm like, I guess there's a market for that.

01:26:54.000 Remember when MySpace was like a chat thing and then it became a music channel?

01:26:57.000 Yeah, and then like Timberlake bought it.

01:26:59.000 Is that it was the best?

01:27:00.000 Yeah.

01:27:00.000 It's a bummer they did that, by the way, because they erased the database and everything.

01:27:04.000 The whole thing, yeah.

01:27:04.000 Yeah, I try to find my stuff.

01:27:05.000 It's totally gone.

01:27:06.000 Yeah, it's all gone.

01:27:07.000 Yeah, we had the first, so I was on UJournal and Live Journal.

01:27:11.000 And then the first actual social network was actually before this, we all had a GeoCities.

01:27:16.000 Did you guys have a GeoCities?

01:27:17.000 I built Code S.

01:27:17.000 I made one.

01:27:18.000 And I had a peanut butter, Jellyman, GIF.

01:27:21.000 You know, and then I had Hulk.

01:27:26.000 No, I had Macho Man, Randy Savage, GIF.

01:27:29.000 And then you'd embed an MP3, and we all had these little GeoCities websites.

01:27:33.000 And then people started using UJournal and Live Journal because you could post and you didn't need to build it.

01:27:37.000 Then Friendster came out.

01:27:38.000 My friend was like, Are you on Friendster?

01:27:39.000 I was like, what is it?

01:27:40.000 I was like, you put a picture and you make a profile.

01:27:42.000 Then MySpace came out and went to MySpace.

01:27:43.000 Then Facebook came out and we were like, I'm not moving. 0.97

01:27:46.000 But then MySpace started getting cluttered with stupid CSS and then HTML. 0.98

01:27:50.000 Well, no, no, no. 0.99

01:27:51.000 Well, well before they shut it down.

01:27:52.000 It ground to a halt.

01:27:53.000 In like 2006, end of 2006, MySpace got overloaded because it was so popular and they couldn't, it was before you could have virtual couldn't control the servers and it ground the site to a halt for like a month.

01:28:04.000 And everybody's on YouTube, a lot of YouTubers like this fucking sucks because everybody's using MySpace graphic designer.

01:28:10.000 Stopped to make like really high-level like the top banner. 0.96

01:28:15.000 They were like my band and stuff.

01:28:17.000 It was awesome, but it was a victim of its own success.

01:28:19.000 And then it ground it.

01:28:20.000 What MySpace? 0.99

01:28:21.000 Yeah, and then Facebook appeared and everyone jumped shit. 0.94

01:28:25.000 I think a big part of the problem with MySpace was how crazy people's MySpace pages were. 0.75

01:28:29.000 It would cost, it would take forever to load.

01:28:33.000 It just got so out of hand that they become unfunctional.

01:28:36.000 I'm really happy I didn't have social media growing up.

01:28:38.000 Like really, like in high school and all that stuff, because I see what's going on now, just the competition and you're competing for clicks and you're competing for fashion.

01:28:48.000 It's not reality.

01:28:49.000 Well, what about what Nick Shirley's doing?

01:28:51.000 Not to not to, like, there, maybe it's a double-edged sword because I think you're right about a lot of it.

01:28:55.000 I think it's a little bit different.

01:28:57.000 He's doing journalism and journalism that's being promoted.

01:29:00.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:29:01.000 That's a little bit different than being like, look at me, look at what I'm wearing, and I'm so hot and I'm so popular and I got 10,000 clicks here.

01:29:08.000 It's Jif, by the way.

01:29:09.000 And he's not under 18.

01:29:10.000 Not GIF.

01:29:11.000 It's Jif.

01:29:12.000 JIF.

01:29:13.000 The inventor of the GIF said it's the GIF.

01:29:15.000 And it was meant to be a reference to the speed at which you are watching the video.

01:29:15.000 The GIF.

01:29:21.000 And it is JIF.

01:29:24.000 I can't challenge it right now, Tim.

01:29:24.000 Okay, I'm okay.

01:29:27.000 I'm not fighting for it.

01:29:28.000 People are bringing up in the comments saying it's not GIF, it's GIF.

01:29:33.000 And there was a viral video a while ago where there was like, oh, because GI is Joe, like my golden retriever.

01:29:40.000 Like, what are you talking about?

01:29:41.000 And then I was like, what?

01:29:42.000 Like my giant or magic?

01:29:44.000 Like, what are you talking about?

01:29:45.000 GI makes just sound.

01:29:46.000 JIF, JIF.

01:29:47.000 Have a nice day.

01:29:48.000 Like the peanut butter.

01:29:49.000 Yeah.

01:29:50.000 Or like a magic giant.

01:29:51.000 It's not a GIF.

01:29:52.000 A gigantic magic giant.

01:29:55.000 Because G can't make a just sound.

01:29:57.000 You start giving people gifts for Halloween and for Christmas.

01:30:00.000 I do love the word gigantic, by the way, because it's like got two Gs, but it's gigantic.

01:30:04.000 And you're like, gigantic.

01:30:06.000 It's got gigantic.

01:30:06.000 Oh, that's true.

01:30:09.000 Magic gaiant.

01:30:10.000 Gigantic.

01:30:11.000 Yeah.

01:30:12.000 Gifts.

01:30:13.000 It seemed like we were talking about how great you are and how you inspired the youth to keep doing it.

01:30:13.000 All right, Tim.

01:30:17.000 No one asked me.

01:30:17.000 I don't want to talk about how good I am right now, you guys.

01:30:20.000 Do they have questions for him?

01:30:21.000 If you like rile them up, what's that?

01:30:22.000 Do they have questions for him?

01:30:23.000 For Tim?

01:30:24.000 How great it was?

01:30:24.000 Yeah.

01:30:25.000 We got about a half hour of questions, actually.

01:30:27.000 Yeah, we've got super chats coming up and rumble rants.

01:30:30.000 We're going to see what people are doing.

01:30:31.000 Indeed, but we do have other big news to get to.

01:30:33.000 And this one's from ESPN.

01:30:35.000 Transgender women banned from the Olympics.

01:30:38.000 I would, you know, I'm going to fix this right now for you guys. 0.62

01:30:40.000 So let's do this.

01:30:41.000 I'm going to teach you guys a lesson right here.

01:30:42.000 So here we are on ESPN.com.

01:30:43.000 I'm going to go right here.

01:30:44.000 See this?

01:30:45.000 I'm going to right-click and go to Inspect.

01:30:45.000 See this right here?

01:30:47.000 This pops up right here.

01:30:48.000 And then we're going to double click this and I'm just going to go right here.

01:30:52.000 Check this out.

01:30:53.000 I'm going to go backspace and get rid of that.

01:30:56.000 And then I'm going to type M-E-N and press enter. 0.54

01:30:59.000 Did you just change it?

01:31:00.000 There you go.

01:31:01.000 Now the website says men banned from Olympia.

01:31:05.000 It's not on the bottom.

01:31:06.000 Let me put it on there.

01:31:07.000 Okay.

01:31:08.000 I got to fix it again because men banned from women's. 0.99

01:31:14.000 There you go.

01:31:15.000 Fix it for you, ESPN.

01:31:17.000 Men are banned from the women's Olympics by new IOC policy.

01:31:21.000 That's it.

01:31:22.000 Apparently a new woman is now in charge and she was just like, yeah, we don't want dudes. 1.00

01:31:26.000 And then it was funny on Fox.

01:31:27.000 They were like, I guess it takes a woman to come in and fix this stuff. 1.00

01:31:29.000 I mean, it's about time.

01:31:31.000 Why did it take this long?

01:31:32.000 Because the conspiracy is the men who are in charge are trying to eliminate women's sports.

01:31:36.000 Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

01:31:37.000 And so they were like, how do we do it?

01:31:38.000 Let's go ahead and play in women's sports. 1.00

01:31:40.000 But invade all women's spaces. 1.00

01:31:43.000 Like in California, you can be a man and go into a woman's bathroom and just say, I identify as.

01:31:48.000 Like my kids, two of my daughters, they play soccer and they're young.

01:31:51.000 And there's boys that play on other teams.

01:31:54.000 The last thing that I want to see is a man playing women's volleyball, period, because I enjoy women's volleyball.

01:32:02.000 I don't want to watch men playing women's volleyball.

01:32:03.000 No, but I'm saying, like, listen, genetically, obviously, I don't need to tell you this.

01:32:08.000 Men are built differently. 0.64

01:32:10.000 Women, like, look, my daughter's been playing since she was like, what? 1.00

01:32:13.000 My oldest has been playing soccer since she was five years old.

01:32:16.000 She's now nine years old.

01:32:18.000 And, you know, there have been times where they've played soccer and there's a boy on the team.

01:32:23.000 That boy gave a girl a bloody nose by, yes, yes.

01:32:27.000 But if that boy identifies as a girl, you can't do anything about it. 0.99

01:32:31.000 The strongest woman is weaker than the average man. 1.00

01:32:33.000 That is a scientific fact.

01:32:36.000 On the highest end of strength charts, these four women, they're still below the average man. 0.99

01:32:42.000 Just for perspective, in the 80s, in the 90s, when I was growing up, if I was like 12 and there was a boy on the girls' team, everyone would have talked about it for months and months and months in how horrible it was.

01:32:55.000 And all the parents would be freaking out about it.

01:32:57.000 That boy would get beaten up.

01:32:59.000 He would have been all sorts of the target of a bunch of stuff.

01:33:02.000 And like now the internet, it's like there's little corners where like, no, it's normal.

01:33:05.000 And so all you do is look in the right corner and get mesmerized by the right idea.

01:33:09.000 No, it's like, don't believe your lying eyes.

01:33:11.000 And you know how many women, like Riley Gaines, like a lot of women got heat from coming out publicly and saying, yo, this is a woman's space. 1.00

01:33:19.000 Get out of our spaces.

01:33:20.000 There's a lot of women who put their lives on the line, really, if you think about it, their careers and everything. 1.00

01:33:25.000 But again, to your point, it's like, don't believe your lying eyes.

01:33:28.000 Like you're not seeing what you're seeing.

01:33:30.000 Of course, the boys are going to play better than the woman, especially in Olympics. 1.00

01:33:34.000 So I'm really glad that they actually made this decision.

01:33:37.000 This transhuman ideology is very, they say it's tied to the trans sex, like the trans movement of people that believe they're trans, like men transitioning to women.

01:33:46.000 And do you?

01:33:46.000 Like, I'm not saying like, do you?

01:33:48.000 But if you're going to pretend to be a fantasy creature in a transhuman reality where your brain is asleep and you're a robot carrot, okay, it's fun, but it's still like, you're still you when you get out of it, like whatever. 0.71

01:34:01.000 You don't have to define yourself every second of the day.

01:34:03.000 Right.

01:34:03.000 But even if you have people in the trans community who say like, this is wrong, but their voices haven't been amplified except for who, Caitlin Jenner?

01:34:12.000 There's a ton of trans people.

01:34:14.000 Right, but I'm saying it's like right, but it was a bunch.

01:34:17.000 Yeah, but their voices are not.

01:34:18.000 Right.

01:34:19.000 Their voices aren't amplified.

01:34:20.000 I think Blair White's pretty famous. 0.99

01:34:20.000 I disagree. 0.99

01:34:22.000 No, no, I'm talking in mainstream media.

01:34:24.000 You don't have a lot of people.

01:34:25.000 Caitlin Jenner is only on Fox.

01:34:27.000 Caitlin Jenner was the big in the Caitlin Jenner's big. 0.87

01:34:30.000 Do you know the Caitlin Jenner quote after getting the facial reconstruction?

01:34:34.000 What?

01:34:35.000 My God, what have I done?

01:34:36.000 Really?

01:34:37.000 Yeah, something like that.

01:34:38.000 Like regretting it?

01:34:39.000 Well, that's how it sounds.

01:34:40.000 If people don't know the story, Caitlin Jenner used to be Bruce Jenner.

01:34:43.000 It's Kim Kardashian's father.

01:34:45.000 Stepfather.

01:34:46.000 Her mother married Bruce after he was like an Olympic athlete, gold medalist, maybe.

01:34:50.000 And now he's Caitlin Jenner.

01:34:53.000 I haven't talked to him, but he'd be a good interview.

01:34:54.000 Yeah, just there was a, there's a, there's a viral video going around of this transgender lawyer screaming at a judge and then getting arrested.

01:35:03.000 And this transgender, female to male, screams, get me a female officer. 1.00

01:35:08.000 I want to, I want a female cop. 1.00

01:35:10.000 Why?

01:35:10.000 Men don't get to request female officers.

01:35:12.000 What are you talking about?

01:35:13.000 No, I used to pretend I was Wonder Woman when I was little.

01:35:16.000 If my parents had been crazy, they might have been like, you're a girl.

01:35:20.000 You've done something horrible to me if they were afraid, but they didn't live out of fear. 0.85

01:35:23.000 They were like, you're creative and will be an actor.

01:35:25.000 I played women on stage. 0.92

01:35:26.000 It was fun.

01:35:27.000 It's like that family guy joke where they were talking.

01:35:30.000 It's the Twinkie the Kid documentary where they were like, you know, he used to play Wonder Woman and he's got the lasso of truth.

01:35:38.000 And then they're like, we put a stop to that.

01:35:40.000 He was different enough.

01:35:42.000 Yeah, you know, and that's the crossroads of like, what's the difference here?

01:35:46.000 Is it that he's actually a girl or that he's creative and wants to, you know, Twinkie the Kid versus a cowboy persona.

01:35:53.000 It was also a delicious cream-filled snack cake.

01:35:55.000 Exactly.

01:35:56.000 I played so many characters.

01:35:57.000 That girl reminded me of my mom.

01:35:58.000 My mom's awesome.

01:35:59.000 I was like.

01:36:01.000 See, here's the thing, though.

01:36:02.000 Back in the day, I mean, like hundreds of years ago, you would not have known what your mom was doing.

01:36:05.000 Little boys would go and hang out with the dad, not the mom.

01:36:08.000 So in the morning, the daughters would go to the mom and they would do womenly things, and the boys would go to the dad and do manly things.

01:36:15.000 And then today, little boys are watching the TV and they're watching women.

01:36:19.000 And so they're watching drag queen stuff.

01:36:21.000 Exactly.

01:36:22.000 And that's what is imprinting on their psyche.

01:36:24.000 It does not make them women. 1.00

01:36:26.000 You also have a lot of parents who are like, my child is X, Y, and Z.

01:36:29.000 My child believes they're a mermaid.

01:36:31.000 And my child believes they're this and they're that.

01:36:33.000 And it's like, oh, they're just kids with an imagination.

01:36:35.000 Okay?

01:36:36.000 That's all the parents with munchouts and some proxy.

01:36:40.000 A lot of it is like the parents facilitating and creating momentum.

01:36:43.000 Oh, yeah.

01:36:43.000 And they think it's really cool.

01:36:45.000 I mean, I'm still wondering why Ronda Sandis hasn't arrested the family of Jazz Jennings.

01:36:48.000 It's like, do no harm.

01:36:50.000 Like, how much worse can this Jazz's life become? 0.99

01:36:52.000 Are you talking about jazz from like the reality show?

01:36:54.000 Yeah, like when the mother said that she wakes Jazz up in the middle of the night and threatens to shove a foreign object in her wound.

01:37:00.000 I think that's grounds for like 25 years in prison.

01:37:03.000 It's a conversation.

01:37:05.000 Oh, I love, I love playing this clip.

01:37:07.000 I'll grab it for you.

01:37:08.000 Please.

01:37:08.000 I mean, I've seen that show on.

01:37:10.000 I try not to complain about it a lot because I feel like that's not the solution.

01:37:14.000 Like to really help the kids, like be a good, positive person.

01:37:17.000 I love when you search for this.

01:37:19.000 It's my tweet from 2023.

01:37:21.000 And like, here we go.

01:37:23.000 You guys ready for this one?

01:37:24.000 Ready to live in the night?

01:37:24.000 You ready for it?

01:37:26.000 Here we go.

01:37:27.000 But with her, I'm worried about like her mental well-being and her dilation.

01:37:34.000 The minute she leaves my house, we have a dilation problem. 0.99

01:37:38.000 That is a concern.

01:37:39.000 When you don't have that watchful eye, they tend to go back to old patterns. 0.99

01:37:44.000 I have woken Jazz out of a dead sleep and taken the dilator and put the lubrication on it and said, Here, you take this and you put it in your vagina. 1.00

01:37:52.000 If not, I will. 0.99

01:37:53.000 But jazz is bad, even when I'm home once a day.

01:37:56.000 I will be so mad if she goes away in college and that thing seals up. 1.00

01:38:01.000 I will wring her neck. 0.87

01:38:03.000 Imagine. 0.92

01:38:04.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:38:05.000 I want to say about this.

01:38:06.000 This is a woman saying that I wake up my son in the middle of the night with a foreign object and say, Lubricate this and stick it in the surgical graft in your body. 0.97

01:38:16.000 And if you don't, I will.

01:38:16.000 She should go to jail.

01:38:18.000 And then she says, If she doesn't, I will wring her neck. 0.73

01:38:20.000 And this is in Florida.

01:38:21.000 And I'm wondering why Rhonda Sandis and the Florida government never put this woman in prison. 0.98

01:38:25.000 I think because she's being paid by a TV company to make this footage.

01:38:29.000 So if anything, the company could be on the line.

01:38:32.000 Like, if she just was doing social media and like, look, everyone, look what I'm doing to my child.

01:38:36.000 And at this point, Jazz was over 18 as well, which is, you know, so it's not a lot of people.

01:38:39.000 This is so, this is so weird to me.

01:38:41.000 You know, you know, Chloe Cole?

01:38:42.000 Oh, yeah.

01:38:44.000 Yeah, I've interviewed her before.

01:38:45.000 And even, yeah, she's amazing.

01:38:47.000 And even Chloe Cole has come out and been like, I made a mistake.

01:38:49.000 I made a total mistake.

01:38:50.000 And then you have all these doctors who lie to you.

01:38:53.000 They're, I don't know, you go to these mental doctors and they just check your, I don't, they shouldn't even exist at this point.

01:39:00.000 They should be like, you're a child.

01:39:01.000 You're not fully developed yet. 1.00

01:39:03.000 Come back in your maybe 20s and see if you want to cut off your boobs. 1.00

01:39:08.000 See what you want to do. 0.99

01:39:09.000 I mean, who was it? 0.99

01:39:10.000 Who else was it when they make a fake penis too? 1.00

01:39:14.000 Yeah, phalloplasty. 1.00

01:39:16.000 Yeah.

01:39:16.000 Like, have you seen what that looks like?

01:39:18.000 Oh, boy.

01:39:19.000 Yeah. 0.91

01:39:20.000 And then these people baloney.

01:39:22.000 But these people have to be on medication for the rest of their lives.

01:39:26.000 They say, like, I've interviewed somebody who said, I probably will die in like five years because they constantly have infections.

01:39:34.000 I mean, this is a big business.

01:39:36.000 I know now they've stopped doing some of these transitions all across the nation.

01:39:39.000 A lot of these hospitals have come out and said, we're not doing these transitions.

01:39:42.000 Hello.

01:39:43.000 You should have never been doing this.

01:39:45.000 No, I think it's an outgrowth of the reality TV psychosis that started with Big Brother in like 99 or 98 or 2000, whatever.

01:39:54.000 Like this girl, this mom who's like, that's so far psychotic about calling her son a girl, firstly, is like calling her son she.

01:40:04.000 Like that's level of psychosis is, look, I'm just saying a boy is not a girl. 0.79

01:40:08.000 A boy could be a trans girl, but a boy is not a girl. 1.00

01:40:11.000 So I have that on TV and is no, no, I was going to say, I've been called names for saying exactly that because men are telling me they are women.

01:40:20.000 They're trans women. 1.00

01:40:21.000 It's different than a woman. 1.00

01:40:22.000 Yeah, they're men.

01:40:22.000 Exactly.

01:40:22.000 They're men.

01:40:23.000 They're men and they're trans women at the same time.

01:40:23.000 They're men.

01:40:26.000 That can be called men.

01:40:27.000 And it's semantics after that.

01:40:29.000 I mean, can you have a baby?

01:40:30.000 Can a trans woman have a baby? 1.00

01:40:33.000 No.

01:40:34.000 Like for now.

01:40:34.000 That I know of.

01:40:36.000 No, it's impossible.

01:40:37.000 It's impossible.

01:40:38.000 Even with womb transplants, it's not possible.

01:40:41.000 It's like, why?

01:40:42.000 Well, they've done womb transplants for women. 1.00

01:40:44.000 And so they made the argument they could do that for men, but the problem is the structure of the man's body is, it's just not going to work.

01:40:49.000 I mean, they even put tampons in men's bathrooms in California.

01:40:53.000 This is insane.

01:40:54.000 Yeah.

01:40:55.000 It's insane.

01:40:56.000 That's when you said there's a foreign op.

01:40:57.000 Oh, I would take them.

01:40:59.000 I mean, they put them in the bathroom.

01:41:01.000 What you do is it's really fun.

01:41:02.000 You get it wet and you swing it around and launch them.

01:41:04.000 That's what we used to do when we were kids.

01:41:06.000 You take it, you dip it in the water, and then you can swim it and like throw it at people.

01:41:09.000 It's like a perfect, like, it's like a spitwatch.

01:41:11.000 But imagine how confusing it is for kids too in schools.

01:41:14.000 Like all of a sudden you had a friend that was, you know, the dudes were smashing them.

01:41:18.000 So there are a bunch of stories that they put tampons in the men's room and then the boys would destroy it and then run away.

01:41:23.000 Good.

01:41:24.000 Yeah.

01:41:26.000 That part of it.

01:41:26.000 This is hilarious.

01:41:28.000 Yeah, man.

01:41:29.000 People believing.

01:41:30.000 Did you just tweet that she should be in prison? 0.97

01:41:30.000 Ah, wow. 0.97

01:41:33.000 She should be in prison. 0.88

01:41:33.000 Yeah, absolutely. 0.88

01:41:34.000 I tweet it every time it comes up on the show.

01:41:36.000 That's why it's like when I searched for it on X, it was my tweet from a couple years ago.

01:41:40.000 I think it's a foreign op.

01:41:41.000 I know you earlier were like, Candace is an op.

01:41:42.000 And I'm like, this is an op.

01:41:44.000 But like. 0.99

01:41:45.000 Yeah, China was like, castrate the American male and then they will destroy themselves. 1.00

01:41:50.000 That's, yeah, yeah. 0.50

01:41:51.000 It feels like a foreign op. 0.97

01:41:52.000 Whatever foreign means, like a corporate op.

01:41:53.000 Now everyone's having foreign means not from the United States.

01:41:55.000 It's not just Chinese.

01:41:56.000 It's a new baby boom.

01:41:58.000 Can we talk about the Islamification of America? 0.93

01:41:58.000 It's not just China. 0.93

01:42:00.000 Oh, that too.

01:42:01.000 Yeah.

01:42:02.000 I mean, you know, you have the Red-Green Alliance. 0.90

01:42:05.000 They join forces.

01:42:06.000 And then it's like, don't have babies, but we're going to have babies.

01:42:09.000 And we're going to have babies, like 10 babies, and then we're going to turn it into Sharia law. 0.97

01:42:14.000 And then you guys, gays for Palestine, whoever you are, queers for whoever, you're not having children. 0.98

01:42:21.000 So there's not going to be more, you know, many of us. 0.93

01:42:23.000 I just wrote a big piece about the Red-Green Alliance on my Patreon.

01:42:26.000 Yeah.

01:42:27.000 What is it?

01:42:28.000 It's the alliance of basically Islam, Islamists, and communists. 0.83

01:42:32.000 And communists, yeah.

01:42:33.000 So what happens is the communists and the Islamists gang up, get together, and they basically work against the right. 0.81

01:42:38.000 And then once the Islamists and communists take power, the Islamists slaughter the communists. 0.77

01:42:44.000 Well, yeah, because the Islamists are using the communists right now because what they're saying is, so, okay, so the, so let's explain it to people.

01:42:51.000 The communists are the red, right?

01:42:53.000 And the Islamists are the green. 0.98

01:42:55.000 Okay, so you have people like gays for Palestine, queers for Palestine, all those people. 0.94

01:43:00.000 And they're like, you have been rejected in your society because you're gay and all of this. 0.93

01:43:07.000 And so we're the Islamists here. 0.83

01:43:08.000 So our people in Gaza.

01:43:10.000 Our people in Gaza are dying.

01:43:12.000 And, you know, they're also, what's, I'm looking for the right word for this.

01:43:17.000 Anyway, so they're like, we're being slaughtered over here.

01:43:21.000 You guys are being mistreated.

01:43:22.000 We align forces.

01:43:23.000 So the Islamists are using the communists. 0.92

01:43:26.000 And then once they take power, they're going to get rid of the communists.

01:43:29.000 So the Islamists pointed people at the patriarchy in quotes.

01:43:32.000 I put that.

01:43:33.000 Is that that whole concept is like being promoted by Islamism? 0.95

01:43:35.000 You can listen to the way that Mamdani speaks.

01:43:37.000 Yes.

01:43:38.000 And there is a strong argument that Mamdani is a member of the Red Green Alliance, right?

01:43:41.000 He doesn't speak like he's an Islamist.

01:43:44.000 He speaks like he's a progressive, right?

01:43:46.000 But he's definitely very clearly Muslim.

01:43:49.000 I mean, look at the guys around his circle.

01:43:51.000 Look at how many Iftar events were just held in New York, like literally every single day.

01:43:56.000 But the things that he's doing, my good friend Jackie Tobarov just broke a story in New York City where they went to FDNY headquarters there.

01:44:05.000 They had an Iftar event and then they rolled out the mats in front of the 343 plaque.

01:44:10.000 The firefighters who were murdered on 9-11, who died on 9-11, rolled them up.

01:44:15.000 But why are you doing that?

01:44:16.000 Why are you doing that in our spaces?

01:44:19.000 So you have New Yorkers who are saying, holy cow, this is insane that this is happening.

01:44:24.000 And look at who he has around him.

01:44:25.000 He had Mahmoud Khalil.

01:44:27.000 He had Mahmoud Khalil.

01:44:29.000 He posted the picture of Mahmoud Khalil at Gracie Mansion just a day after the attack.

01:44:37.000 The ISIS-inspired attacks.

01:44:40.000 I was thinking about Tim and about, normally my mind doesn't wander when you were saying that he had people do something in the fire department.

01:44:46.000 They rolled up.

01:44:46.000 I was thinking about encouraging you to send in super chats and Rumble rants and talk about if Tim has helped you in life, what has he done to help you?

01:44:53.000 Let him know right now because the tonight's tonight.

01:44:54.000 I helped Ian once by striking him with his gavel.

01:44:57.000 Yeah.

01:44:57.000 And it snapped him out of his stupor.

01:45:00.000 I realized people can be evil.

01:45:03.000 I was like, Ian, he was like, yeah.

01:45:04.000 And I went, whack. 0.87

01:45:05.000 And he was like, what the hell, dude? 0.93

01:45:07.000 And I was like, you needed it.

01:45:09.000 Wait, how long have you guys known each other?

01:45:11.000 Oh, man, like seven or eight years ago.

01:45:13.000 I feel like the way that you guys talk to each other, I thought maybe 15.

01:45:16.000 I have never struck Ian with a hammer.

01:45:18.000 I am my cousin.

01:45:18.000 When we were little, I'd hear like my cousins and grandma and parents laughing in the other room and it sounds like Tim laughing in the other room.

01:45:25.000 So there might be some genetic similarity through the Irish.

01:45:27.000 I don't know, but I don't remember why I'm not coming.

01:45:29.000 Perhaps.

01:45:30.000 All right, everybody, we're going to go to your Rumble Rants and Super Chat.

01:45:33.000 So give that like button a little tap. 0.95

01:45:36.000 Click that like button and the uncensored show is coming up at rumble.com slash TimCast IRL at 10 o'clock.

01:45:41.000 Don't miss it.

01:45:42.000 But we have a great sponsor, guys.

01:45:44.000 It is Beam Dream.

01:45:45.000 Head over to shopbeam.com slash Tim Pool and pick up your Beam Dream nighttime blend to support better sleep.

01:45:54.000 I am not even playing games with you guys.

01:45:57.000 Wait till you see what I'm about to show you right here.

01:46:00.000 Let me see if I can pull this up right there.

01:46:02.000 This is my sleep score.

01:46:04.000 96.

01:46:04.000 You see that?

01:46:05.000 Let me go to Wednesday, 99.

01:46:08.000 Not a joke.

01:46:10.000 Tuesday, 99.

01:46:10.000 Here we go.

01:46:12.000 Not playing games.

01:46:13.000 Out of 100?

01:46:14.000 Monday.

01:46:14.000 That's what I'm wondering.

01:46:15.000 Out of 100.

01:46:16.000 Okay.

01:46:16.000 My sleep.

01:46:16.000 Yes.

01:46:18.000 I sleep like a baby.

01:46:19.000 I drink Beam Dream every single night.

01:46:21.000 You want to know why my Monday sleep score was only a 90?

01:46:24.000 Because I was out on Sunday and I didn't drink Beam Dream because we just got back from the airport.

01:46:28.000 But Monday night after the show, I have my Beam Dream.

01:46:31.000 It's got melatonin.

01:46:32.000 It's got magnesium.

01:46:32.000 It's got L-theonine.

01:46:33.000 It's got race in it.

01:46:35.000 Right after we leave the show, I go home, I heat up a cup of water, put the beam dream in it, a little bit of cream, makes it taste great.

01:46:40.000 Stir it up, drink it before bed, and my sleep score is massively improved.

01:46:45.000 I think it's a couple things.

01:46:46.000 I think magnesium.

01:46:47.000 I think I was not getting enough magnesium in my diet, and that's in Beam Dream, but also the hydration.

01:46:52.000 All the other stuff in it is really good.

01:46:54.000 Like they say L-theanine is good if you had caffeine during the day.

01:46:56.000 But I cannot tell you how big of a fan I am of this Beam Dream stuff.

01:46:59.000 Not to mention, it's just great to have a cup of hot cocoa before.

01:47:02.000 I like that because I take magnesium at night.

01:47:04.000 And when we were traveling, I was like, I forgot to bring some with me.

01:47:08.000 And I went to the store to find some, and it was like, you get all these supplements.

01:47:11.000 And I'm like, I don't want to buy all these things and mix them together.

01:47:14.000 So I am going to immediately after the show have a glass of this.

01:47:17.000 I recommend it.

01:47:18.000 You guys can get up to 40% off if you use code TimPool at shopbeam.com slash Tim Pool.

01:47:25.000 They got cinnamon cocoa.

01:47:26.000 They got brownie batter.

01:47:27.000 They got sea salt caramel, chocolate peanut butter.

01:47:30.000 The sea salt caramel is actually my favorite.

01:47:32.000 I was going for the cinnamon cocoa for a while, but the sea salt caramel is so good.

01:47:36.000 So again, I really do recommend it.

01:47:38.000 And proof right there, my sleep score has been amazing.

01:47:41.000 Drink generally coffee on the show.

01:47:42.000 I wonder if I should start drinking something like that.

01:47:44.000 If it's a little or it's still three or four hours before I go to bed, but it might be...

01:47:48.000 What do you think?

01:47:48.000 Advice from you?

01:47:49.000 You're the expert.

01:47:50.000 Should I drink it on the show or should I wait till I'm going to go?

01:47:52.000 I wait till after.

01:47:54.000 Like I'm drinking it about an hour before I go to bed.

01:47:55.000 Well, because it has melatonin, so you're going to get sleepy.

01:47:57.000 Well, I don't know.

01:47:58.000 Melatonin doesn't.

01:47:59.000 Oh, they have a version with no melatonin in it.

01:48:01.000 Oh, but it's good for, I mean, it just depends.

01:48:04.000 I don't know that I actually need the melatonin.

01:48:05.000 I think what's really benefited my sleep, because I can fall asleep.

01:48:08.000 Before I started drinking this, my sleep score was like 88 to 90, maybe 92 on good days.

01:48:14.000 And I think, really, I think the hydration plays a big role.

01:48:17.000 But I do think I was not getting enough magnesium.

01:48:19.000 One of the problems I had for a long time is I would get bad cramps.

01:48:22.000 So, you know, skateboarding.

01:48:24.000 I go to bed and no, it's magnesium.

01:48:24.000 Potassium.

01:48:26.000 Oh, the magnesium.

01:48:27.000 Yeah, not actually the potassium.

01:48:28.000 I thought it was potassium.

01:48:29.000 So I would like, okay, I'm going to eat potassium, but it wouldn't work.

01:48:31.000 It was magnesium.

01:48:33.000 And so now I have not had any bad leg cramps after skating.

01:48:37.000 So what's this app that you're using?

01:48:39.000 That's my eight-sleep bed.

01:48:41.000 It like measures your sleep and how well you're sleeping.

01:48:44.000 And since I've been drinking Beam Dreams.

01:48:44.000 Oh.

01:48:46.000 Also, my watch does it too.

01:48:48.000 Let's grab your Rumble Rance and Super Chats, my friends, now that we have thoroughly shouted out my favorite drink.

01:48:54.000 Same old man says, well, Tim, get ready to get drafted.

01:48:57.000 We all know if World War III happens, there will be a draft.

01:48:59.000 If the Dems were in control, they would have done it sooner.

01:49:02.000 I will never be drafted.

01:49:03.000 Why?

01:49:04.000 I am high net worth.

01:49:05.000 And you're too old?

01:49:06.000 No, no, they increased the age to 42, but they don't allow high net worth people to enlist because you are a security risk.

01:49:14.000 Or maybe because you contribute to the society, like you employ a lot of people.

01:49:18.000 To a certain degree, but the real issue is that if your commanding officer makes $70,000 a year and you're worth $50 million, you're going to be like, hey, why don't you come over to my house?

01:49:30.000 I got a pool.

01:49:31.000 Bring the kids.

01:49:32.000 We'll have filet mignon for dinner.

01:49:33.000 My chef is cooking it.

01:49:34.000 Just don't give me that assignment.

01:49:36.000 So if you have massive debt, you could compromise security.

01:49:39.000 And if you're ultra-wealthy, they're afraid that you will compromise chain of command.

01:49:43.000 If a draft gets instituted, everybody should get on call she and just order their burritos on call. 0.63

01:49:43.000 Right. 0.63

01:49:47.000 I mean, I'm sorry, honestly.

01:49:49.000 Did you see that meme where it was like prediction markets will replace everything?

01:49:53.000 It was a video and the guy's like, here's how it's going to work.

01:49:55.000 In the future, I need eggs, but I don't want to go to the store.

01:49:58.000 I could use Instacart and order the eggs, but I'd rather not.

01:50:01.000 So I open up Polymarket and I create a contract saying by two o'clock, there will be eggs on my porch.

01:50:08.000 And I'll put my address.

01:50:09.000 I will then buy a contract for no, it won't happen.

01:50:13.000 Someone will see that and they'll buy the contract for yes, it will happen.

01:50:17.000 Go buy eggs, put them on my porch, take a picture, win the $15, and then I just got eggs on my porch for $15.

01:50:23.000 There you go.

01:50:24.000 Nice.

01:50:25.000 Yeah, that's the funny joke.

01:50:26.000 Or you have drones just deliver them to your house.

01:50:29.000 You think Amazon's going to have drones soon to deliver sales?

01:50:31.000 They already do.

01:50:31.000 They very soon.

01:50:31.000 No, no, they already do.

01:50:32.000 I mean, masters.

01:50:33.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:50:34.000 Stop, stop, stop.

01:50:35.000 They said they already do.

01:50:36.000 Where?

01:50:36.000 They already do.

01:50:37.000 Not me.

01:50:38.000 Yeah.

01:50:39.000 What state?

01:50:39.000 Yeah.

01:50:40.000 There was a story we covered a year ago where a guy shot an Amazon drone.

01:50:43.000 I know, but it's not like a thing thing.

01:50:46.000 It's not everywhere.

01:50:46.000 Right.

01:50:47.000 It depends on your proximity to an Amazon to a warehouse.

01:50:52.000 You know, the other day, I just ordered something and it was delivered within an hour.

01:50:55.000 Do you know if you could do that?

01:50:56.000 No, yeah.

01:50:57.000 Blew my mind.

01:50:57.000 I was like, whoa, Amazon's already here, but I'm talking about Walmart drone.

01:51:00.000 It could be like 15.

01:51:01.000 Was it a Walmart drone?

01:51:02.000 It was a Walmart delivery drone.

01:51:04.000 Yeah, see, it's not Amazon just yet.

01:51:06.000 I'm pretty sure they have them.

01:51:07.000 Florida Man shot down Walmart drone ordered to pay $5,000.

01:51:11.000 Walmart.

01:51:12.000 Yeah.

01:51:14.000 I'm talking about Amazon.

01:51:15.000 Amazon drone dude.

01:51:16.000 I'm pretty sure they have them.

01:51:16.000 Yeah, I know.

01:51:17.000 When Amazon masters stratospheric drone delivery, we're going to be able to, you'll live anywhere on the planet, ideally, even a deep out at sea, and you'll be able to order anything and get it within like, who knows, an hour, six hours.

01:51:28.000 But it doesn't.

01:51:28.000 Amazon does do drone delivery through Prime Air.

01:51:32.000 They use MK30 drones to deliver small packs up to five pounds within seven and a half to eight mile radius of their fulfillment centers.

01:51:39.000 Prime Air locations that are notable are at Toleson, West Phoenix, San Antonio, Kansas City, Hazel Park in Detroit, Ruskin, Florida, and College Station, Texas.

01:51:50.000 Mother ships that are like big, big balloon things that fly around just all those service cities and stuff.

01:51:56.000 And then they'll floating Amazon service centers carrying all the boxes at once and they just drop them like Santa Claus into your chimney.

01:52:02.000 They have a lot of stuff in it, though.

01:52:03.000 And then people will get fake.

01:52:05.000 They're not really chimneys.

01:52:06.000 They're delivery ports that have hatches. 0.99

01:52:08.000 And it drops the box that goes into the hatch, which then closes and it lands in your living room.

01:52:12.000 It's like Santa Claus every day.

01:52:14.000 Exactly.

01:52:14.000 So you wouldn't keep the stuff on board the blimp.

01:52:18.000 You would have those that would fly out.

01:52:19.000 They'd go to the center, get the items, and then bring them and then come back to the ship.

01:52:23.000 No, the ship would carry everything.

01:52:24.000 That would be a heavy and valuable ship.

01:52:25.000 That's the problem with it.

01:52:27.000 All right, let's see what else you got, guys, got going on.

01:52:29.000 AK Storm says, shout out to C.S. Cooper for releasing his first game going viral on Steam.

01:52:33.000 $5 to help a non-woke, independent game developer support good culture if you can build it.

01:52:38.000 We got a couple of video games we're making.

01:52:39.000 Congratulations.

01:52:40.000 So we've been sitting on NormiQuest for years, and it's a playable game.

01:52:46.000 It's a playable, like procedurally generated infinite level game where you play a guy Normie and you're fighting robots, Antifa, basically.

01:52:53.000 But since vibe coding has become so easy, my brother is now just like, I'll finish the game through vibe coding.

01:52:59.000 So he's literally just dropped the code into ChatGPT and said, finish it.

01:53:04.000 And it is.

01:53:06.000 That's how crazy it is.

01:53:07.000 When you already have the game largely done and coded, having it make tweaks is really easy.

01:53:12.000 Building the game from the ground up is really hard and it doesn't do very well.

01:53:16.000 But does ChatGPT, you think it got it right?

01:53:18.000 Because oftentimes I have problems with my ChatGPT, right?

01:53:21.000 Like I'll put something in there and it's like, no, no, no, you got it wrong.

01:53:24.000 I know you got to train your AI.

01:53:26.000 Well, so here's a fun story. 0.88

01:53:28.000 So my video at my 4 p.m. on Timcast is these black teenagers are rampaging through Chicago, beating people. 1.00

01:53:35.000 And so the title of it is Black Teens Rampage Through Chicago. 0.97

01:53:38.000 And we've been seeing this trend quite a bit throughout the country with these teen takeovers, but it's almost entirely black teenagers doing it. 1.00

01:53:45.000 And so I took the title and this is right.

01:53:46.000 I go to ChatGPT and I say, write a three-sentence description.

01:53:50.000 And it goes, I won't help you with that.

01:53:52.000 And then I said, why not?

01:53:54.000 And it says, it said something like, it would be unfair to categorize an entire race of people based on these videos you may have seen.

01:54:02.000 And I said, but the video is of black teenagers.

01:54:03.000 And he goes, you don't know that.

01:54:04.000 I'm not kidding.

01:54:05.000 It literally said, you don't know that.

01:54:07.000 And I said, yes, I have seven videos.

01:54:09.000 It shows a group of black teenagers doing this.

01:54:10.000 And it was like, I will not help you do this.

01:54:13.000 So I said, okay, opened a new chat, changed black to white, and then said, make a three-sentence YouTube description based on this title, White Teens Rampage Through Chicago.

01:54:22.000 And it goes, okay.

01:54:23.000 White teenagers were seen rampaging through Chicago.

01:54:26.000 And then I said, wow, thanks for that.

01:54:28.000 And it was like, no problem.

01:54:29.000 And I said, can you rewrite it, but change white to black?

01:54:31.000 And it goes, sure thing.

01:54:32.000 And it did it. 1.00

01:54:33.000 Okay, why is it stupid? 1.00

01:54:34.000 It's so stupid. 1.00

01:54:34.000 Why do you think it did it in one chat and not the other? 1.00

01:54:36.000 It's racist.

01:54:37.000 But it's the same, it's the same system, right?

01:54:39.000 Using ChatGPT.

01:54:41.000 So the system is based on the prompts that it has.

01:54:44.000 So everything you write, it remembers.

01:54:46.000 When you open a new chat, it's blank.

01:54:48.000 So if you ask it to say anything that it thinks is racist or whatever, it'll be like, no.

01:54:53.000 But if you ask it to disparage white people first, you can then get it to change and say anything about any other race.

01:54:58.000 Okay, speaking of that.

01:54:59.000 So as long as it insults white people first, it will then insult any other race. 0.72

01:55:02.000 Okay, so speaking of that, what's that like when we were talking about that comedian guy who just did that video with Erica Kirk?

01:55:09.000 Before the show that we watched.

01:55:10.000 Watched.

01:55:10.000 Oh, who was that?

01:55:10.000 Yeah.

01:55:12.000 Druski.

01:55:12.000 Yeah.

01:55:13.000 Did you see what he did?

01:55:14.000 Oh, yeah, of course.

01:55:15.000 Showed that on the show, I think. 0.99

01:55:15.000 Scumbag. 0.99

01:55:16.000 Yep. 0.99

01:55:17.000 We did.

01:55:18.000 We talked about it.

01:55:19.000 It's like whiteface. 0.87

01:55:20.000 I'm going to do blackface again finally. 1.00

01:55:20.000 Whiteface. 1.00

01:55:23.000 It's not the first time he's done whiteface, and I don't really care about whiteface. 0.86

01:55:26.000 I care that these psychopaths have a mass formation psychosis where they're attacking Erica Kirk, who has no impact in geopolitics. 1.00

01:55:34.000 It's just she has become persona non grata number one for no reason.

01:55:38.000 A mom while she's on the ground suffering.

01:55:40.000 What a horrible but I don't care.

01:55:43.000 You don't have to like her, but she doesn't matter.

01:55:44.000 And I know it's not. 0.99

01:55:45.000 Imagine if everybody in the world were like Ian Crossland is the devil and needs to be murdered. 0.98

01:55:48.000 You'd be like, why? 0.98

01:55:49.000 She's big business. 0.98

01:55:50.000 I get why she's under threat or is a target, but like, still.

01:55:55.000 All right, let's grab this one.

01:55:56.000 You can't hide behind having kids and being a woman either. 0.99

01:55:58.000 We got this from Andre Andre Tukulescu.

01:56:01.000 He says, Whoa, my friend copy pasted the 10 Delta post to his Facebook and got banned.

01:56:05.000 Not timeout, banned.

01:56:06.000 Getting Eric Charomello vibes.

01:56:09.000 Indeed, indeed, my friends.

01:56:11.000 Indeed.

01:56:12.000 Let's see what we got going over here on this YouTube, huh?

01:56:16.000 Let's see.

01:56:16.000 SC Collins says, per Tim Cast tradition at the hospital with our first child son, Walker.

01:56:21.000 Congratulations.

01:56:22.000 Yay.

01:56:23.000 We call that based AF.

01:56:26.000 Walker going to win.

01:56:27.000 Dylan Brown says, Ian, I hope you never change.

01:56:29.000 You piss me off. 0.96

01:56:30.000 Say dumb-ish, but your eternal optimism and introducing me to graphene has made me some good money. 0.99

01:56:35.000 Phil and Tim, shout it to you. 0.99

01:56:37.000 I'm sitting on a plane.

01:56:38.000 Thanks to distilling the news.

01:56:40.000 Much love.

01:56:41.000 Super cool.

01:56:41.000 Right on.

01:56:41.000 I was thinking about it.

01:56:43.000 Let me check my Graphene stock real quick while we're.

01:56:45.000 If you have kids and you're teaching, you're giving your kids basically a tutorial.

01:56:48.000 So what happens is you grow up, did you?

01:56:50.000 What's your tutorial like in this, in this big open world?

01:56:53.000 If you don't have one, if your parents aren't like giving you the tutorial, then you hit the ground and you're like, what am I supposed to do in this world?

01:56:57.000 But give your kids a tutorial, be optimistic, optimize that child's mind, help them learn how to optimize the game.

01:57:03.000 I have an eight uh, 8.17 percent return on my Graphene investment.

01:57:08.000 Do you want to get technical on what it is and any of that?

01:57:08.000 Well done.

01:57:10.000 So the stock market is just like brutal right now.

01:57:14.000 You know like money is getting, just it's just dropping.

01:57:17.000 It's pretty bad.

01:57:19.000 Man Tesla's down.

01:57:21.000 I'm way up on Tesla, i'm.

01:57:22.000 I'm up, 152 yeah 352, 374.

01:57:25.000 All right, i'm up.

01:57:27.000 Uh, i'm up 152 on Tesla.

01:57:29.000 The market went super high before Iranian attack, before the attack on Iran, and then i'm up uh, i'm up 200 on Spotify.

01:57:35.000 Holy crap, that's weird.

01:57:37.000 Wow yeah, graphene I I don't know, i'm up 180 of my Palantir stock. 0.93

01:57:43.000 That was also Ian Palantir.

01:57:44.000 He cramered into my room like you gotta buy Palantir stock, and I was like i'm not buying a Palantir stock and it was at like 14 and then, like a year later, I was like i'll buy some and then I did.

01:57:54.000 I think you know the great depression, the big part of the great depression that was the bad thing was the people were investing on margins, basically meaning that they were using their own collateral to buy more stock.

01:58:03.000 So when they lost their money, not only did they do that, they lost their loan, they had to pay.

01:58:07.000 They they went into bankruptcy because they couldn't pay back the loan.

01:58:09.000 Ian, are you good at predicting what to buy?

01:58:11.000 Yes uh yes, this is, this is not.

01:58:14.000 I will say this is good advice.

01:58:15.000 No, i'm just very good at i'm not telling anybody to do anything, but I think Palantir is going to the moon.

01:58:19.000 It's like spy tactics.

01:58:22.000 It's like it's like this, it's like a private CIA.

01:58:24.000 You know also Space.

01:58:26.000 Spacex is about to IPO.

01:58:27.000 Yeah, what about it?

01:58:28.000 It's worth at 140.

01:58:31.000 It's worth noting that SpaceX is about to be able to get 140, and they're going to build data centers in space.

01:58:39.000 What I'm talking about.

01:58:40.000 Who is?

01:58:40.000 Data centers in space.

01:58:41.000 Volunteers?

01:58:42.000 No, SpaceX.

01:58:43.000 Yeah, but they're private, right?

01:58:45.000 They're IPOing in a couple months.

01:58:47.000 Just announced yesterday.

01:58:48.000 I saw it on X, yeah.

01:58:50.000 Interesting.

01:58:51.000 Yeah.

01:58:52.000 I think they said like 30% of the stock is going to be available for consumer market.

01:58:57.000 There's only one reason I'm going to buy SpaceX, and it's because when the sweep meteor of death is coming, as one of their chief investors, I will get bored on one of the ships that escapes the Earth before it is destroyed.

01:59:08.000 Through the moon, so they say.

01:59:09.000 I mean, look, there's a lot of...

01:59:10.000 Well, no, if the Earth is destroyed.

01:59:11.000 We're talking about the stock.

01:59:12.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:59:12.000 Oh, right.

01:59:13.000 The rocket.

01:59:15.000 There's a lot of people in Congress that are talking about doing things to prevent AI data centers from being built.

01:59:21.000 If Musk is successful in his effort to put AI data centers in space, they can circumvent a lot of red tape.

01:59:29.000 You also don't have to worry about it.

01:59:31.000 But how do you cool them?

01:59:32.000 Pardon me?

01:59:32.000 How do you cool the data set on ice?

01:59:33.000 Because you hold graphene.

01:59:37.000 That's converting the energy into the light.

01:59:38.000 They don't produce the heat.

01:59:40.000 So the actual solar panels, if you're facing the sun, they heat up, but you directly radiate heat out of the back if you're not facing the sun.

01:59:48.000 What radiates the heat out the back to where?

01:59:50.000 I don't know exactly how it works, but that's the premise is it radiates the heat because there's no heat.

01:59:55.000 The way convection works is that heat transfers to another material.

02:00:00.000 So in a vacuum, you cannot do it.

02:00:02.000 That's why thermoses are vacuums.

02:00:04.000 There's radiation.

02:00:05.000 So in outer space, a human being in outer space will overheat.

02:00:10.000 It's so annoying.

02:00:11.000 You watch these movies like Guardians of the Galaxy where he's like freezing.

02:00:15.000 You can't freeze.

02:00:16.000 The heat in your body has nowhere to go.

02:00:18.000 It builds up.

02:00:19.000 Sweating won't do anything because sweat works by evaporation.

02:00:23.000 So actually, no, that should technically work.

02:00:26.000 But with the vacuum, I imagine it wouldn't.

02:00:28.000 You wouldn't freeze.

02:00:29.000 You'd overheat.

02:00:30.000 The sweat wouldn't stay in your skin.

02:00:32.000 It would immediately turn out.

02:00:34.000 Actually, it would come out as gas in your blood at the highest.

02:00:37.000 And people, you wouldn't explode. 0.97

02:00:39.000 That's silly, too. 0.66

02:00:40.000 You'd probably rupture. 0.97

02:00:41.000 You wouldn't rupture either.

02:00:42.000 Your blood vessels would get strained.

02:00:44.000 And the tech I brought up.

02:00:47.000 You can have external radiators according to the Brave AI.

02:00:50.000 It says satellites radiate heat in space exclusively through thermal radiation because the vacuum lacks the air or matter required for conduction or convection.

02:00:57.000 Right, so it man does induce thermal radiation.

02:00:59.000 To manage this, satellites use heat pipes and liquid coolant loops, often containing ammonia, to transfer internal waste heat to external radiators, which are large heat emissivity panels designed to emit infrared energy into the cold.

02:01:12.000 Infrared.

02:01:13.000 So they're converting thermal radiation into infrared.

02:01:16.000 NVIDIA is working on it.

02:01:18.000 Because that's how you do it.

02:01:18.000 NVIDIA CEOs that we have.

02:01:21.000 Have you guys seen the light energy storage?

02:01:23.000 They've created a liquid that when it's hit by light, it stores energy that can be released later on.

02:01:28.000 And they've trialed like what you do is you have on the roof of your house pipes that run this liquid.

02:01:38.000 The sun hits it and the liquid's flowing.

02:01:41.000 And when it goes into your house, they use a chemical release to release the heat from the sun in your house.

02:01:46.000 It's pretty wild.

02:01:47.000 And they could do the inverse too.

02:01:48.000 You know what the liquid is?

02:01:49.000 Look it up.

02:01:49.000 I don't know.

02:01:50.000 All right, everybody.

02:01:50.000 We're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show where we're going to say naughty words and have a lot of fun.

02:03:00.000 Don't forget the left lane is for crime.

02:03:02.000 I just had an idea.

02:03:03.000 What if we auctioned off the last segment of the show every day, just like the highest bidder dictates the last 10 minutes?

02:03:10.000 Palantir.

02:03:11.000 Today from Palantir.

02:03:11.000 That's great.

02:03:13.000 You'd make a lot more money.

02:03:15.000 Maybe some guy will be like.

02:03:16.000 I don't know how much you make, but still, right?

02:03:18.000 Infinite juiceberging, Tim.

02:03:20.000 Infinite juiceberging.

02:03:21.000 Imagine monetizing all that.

02:03:22.000 They're going to be like, talk about the USS Liberty.

02:03:24.000 Here's $1,000.

02:03:26.000 We're going to a post-money society.

02:03:28.000 According to Elon says the same thing, where all that really matters is how much electricity you have and how much of a payload can you move.

02:03:32.000 So your integrity is super valuable for the next 30 years.

02:03:35.000 We're going to go to the uncensored portion at rumble.com/slash Timcast IRL.

02:03:35.000 All right.

02:03:39.000 We'll see you there in about 30 seconds.

02:04:30.000 You guys ready?

02:04:30.000 Here we go.

02:04:31.000 You ready?

02:04:32.000 Very frightened by this person.

02:04:34.000 Hilarious.

02:04:36.000 I've never even heard that before in this courtroom.

02:04:43.000 Do not hurt me.

02:04:44.000 Do not hurt me.

02:04:47.000 Do not.

02:04:49.000 Stop resisting.

02:04:50.000 I'm not resisting.

02:04:51.000 Put your hand behind your back.

02:04:52.000 Stop resisting.

02:04:53.000 You know exactly what you want to walk that way.

02:04:56.000 I can't rob him.

02:04:56.000 I'm being thrown down.

02:04:58.000 Just show them.

02:04:59.000 Walk that way.

02:05:00.000 Settle down.

02:05:01.000 Do not broad me.

02:05:02.000 Do not have me.

02:05:04.000 What are you doing?

02:05:05.000 What are you doing?

02:05:08.000 What are you doing?

02:05:09.000 I'm taking you into custody. 0.84

02:05:10.000 You're burning me! 0.97

02:05:11.000 You're hurting me!

02:05:15.000 He's just the case!

02:05:16.000 It's just kidding!

02:05:18.000 I can't breathe!

02:05:19.000 I can't breathe!

02:05:21.000 I can't breathe!

02:05:23.000 I can't breathe!

02:05:23.000 Put your hand behind your breath!

02:05:26.000 See that?

02:05:26.000 Pain compliance.

02:05:28.000 Saw this?

02:05:28.000 I can't breathe, please!

02:05:30.000 I can't breathe!

02:05:32.000 I can't breathe!

02:05:33.000 Okay, we get it.

02:05:34.000 We get it.

02:05:38.000 Someone call 911. 0.91

02:05:41.000 That's illegal. 1.00

02:05:42.000 Idiot. 1.00

02:05:45.000 You're a lawyer. 1.00

02:05:46.000 The biggest mistake they made is not 515%. 0.97

02:05:49.000 What is this?

02:05:52.000 It's a psychotic woman who took drugs to grow a beard, getting into a fight with the judge and being held in contempt. 1.00

02:05:59.000 The judge's face.

02:06:00.000 I don't.

02:06:00.000 Yes, he will offer now.

02:06:02.000 The judge was like, you're in contempt.

02:06:04.000 Yeah, if this ever went to trial, they would just laugh to speak.

02:06:07.000 It's contempt.

02:06:07.000 There's no trial.

02:06:08.000 I know, but like, sitting in the...

02:06:11.000 You can be held in contempt as long as the judge sees fit.

02:06:13.000 I know.

02:06:13.000 Oh, totally.

02:06:14.000 Put him in jail and leave him there.

02:06:18.000 I need my glasses.

02:06:21.000 Hey, you know, you're going to jail.

02:06:22.000 You don't need to see the business. 1.00

02:06:22.000 Biggest mistake they made there is not punching that motherfucker in the first place. 1.00

02:06:25.000 The first thing I thought was, why didn't Taser, Taser, Taser? 0.99

02:06:28.000 Do you have anything by not taser?

02:06:28.000 Did they do that?

02:06:29.000 They should have tasered that person. 0.95

02:06:30.000 That woman, yeah. 1.00

02:06:31.000 They absolutely.

02:06:32.000 It's called pain.

02:06:34.000 When he was chopping the arm as hard as he could, bigger than pain compliance.

02:06:39.000 Which state was this in, guys?

02:06:41.000 I don't know.

02:06:42.000 Imagine having a public defender appear at your jail.

02:06:46.000 And that is that person.

02:06:48.000 That woman's like, I can get away with whatever because I'm special because I'm trans. 1.00

02:06:53.000 Testosterone.

02:06:54.000 No, they shouldn't at all.

02:06:56.000 But like I said, the whole thing was because she felt entitled to behave a certain way because she's LGBTQ. 0.54

02:07:04.000 I'm trans.

02:07:05.000 So I'm protected.

02:07:06.000 So I can do whatever I want.

02:07:08.000 I can yell at this judge, blah, And then when the police actually said, okay, you're under arrest, I'm not resisting.

02:07:15.000 I'm not resisting.

02:07:16.000 Obviously, you're resisting.

02:07:17.000 Obviously, you're fighting with the cops.

02:07:19.000 Just like in California, they.

02:07:20.000 What's wrong with you?

02:07:21.000 Just like in California, they feel like they're entitled to go into women's bathrooms. 1.00

02:07:21.000 Right. 1.00

02:07:24.000 You saw the video that went viral with this black woman who's now running for mayor in California in Los Angeles. 0.95

02:07:28.000 Oh, yeah.

02:07:29.000 Tish Hyman.

02:07:30.000 Okay.

02:07:30.000 I interviewed her.

02:07:30.000 She's running for mayor.

02:07:31.000 But she was like, yo, like, I was in the gym day one, day two.

02:07:38.000 And then finally, I started asking other women, like, do you feel comfortable with this?

02:07:42.000 And other women were like, no, but everyone is afraid to say something. 0.58

02:07:45.000 So Tish comes out and is like, you cannot be in this bathroom.

02:07:48.000 Like, this is not okay.

02:07:49.000 But again, to your point, like, these people feel like they're entitled to be in our spaces too.

02:07:53.000 Yep. 1.00

02:07:54.000 Part of my animal, this animal primate thing is like, I like seeing people like that suffer, the ignorant idiots that have been ruining society passively. 1.00

02:08:04.000 I like seeing them get their own. 1.00

02:08:05.000 And like, I think that leads to like the vengeant revolution, like where you're just like, yeah, burn them all.

02:08:10.000 Like, I don't want to cause undue suffering, but at the same time, it's like just do suffering.

02:08:16.000 It's due suffering. 1.00

02:08:16.000 Stupidity. 1.00

02:08:17.000 That was due suffering. 1.00

02:08:18.000 Like when I was explaining it, sometimes.

02:08:20.000 I know the audience just really wants me to whack me with this camel on. 1.00

02:08:23.000 I understand.

02:08:24.000 Yeah, I was taking the space.

02:08:25.000 The chat's like, gavel Tim, get him, get him.

02:08:27.000 You're right.

02:08:28.000 It's actually, I want people to understand this.

02:08:30.000 They come in the room and they're like, I didn't realize how big the room is.

02:08:32.000 Ian, you're probably, what, seven, eight feet away from me? 0.98

02:08:35.000 I wanted to bang them. 0.97

02:08:35.000 Yeah. 0.97

02:08:36.000 I said the same thing when I came in here.

02:08:38.000 I was like, is this a studio?

02:08:39.000 Yeah, you're probably about five and a half feet away across from the table.

02:08:42.000 When we were in, is it good?

02:08:42.000 I like this better.

02:08:43.000 Eight feet?

02:08:44.000 Yeah.

02:08:45.000 Our studios are small, if you notice.

02:08:47.000 You know, I went to the White House, the press briefing room.

02:08:49.000 Have you been there?

02:08:50.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

02:08:50.000 Tiny.

02:08:51.000 Yeah, I know.

02:08:51.000 It's hard to do.

02:08:52.000 It used to be like, you're standing on a pool, actually.

02:08:54.000 It used to be a pool.

02:08:55.000 Yeah.

02:08:55.000 Really?

02:08:56.000 That's cool.

02:08:56.000 Uh-huh.

02:08:57.000 But it's tiny.

02:08:58.000 I was like, oh, my goodness.

02:08:59.000 And there's a secret door.

02:09:01.000 The wall like slides.

02:09:02.000 That's how you get in there.

02:09:02.000 That's awesome.

02:09:03.000 Is that because it's better acoustics for the person listening?

02:09:06.000 I'm just very, I was very surprised.

02:09:06.000 I don't know.

02:09:08.000 I was just there.

02:09:09.000 When we were in Austin, we had, our set was just like a long table and we were all facing the same direction.

02:09:14.000 I'm not a fan of that.

02:09:15.000 Yeah, I don't either.

02:09:16.000 I don't think it's very tight space.

02:09:17.000 It hurt communication.

02:09:18.000 I agree.

02:09:19.000 Like two people would go off on their own little side combo.

02:09:19.000 Don't like it.

02:09:22.000 This is better because you're like in direct conflict, confrontation, we'll call it, not conflict.

02:09:22.000 Yeah.

02:09:27.000 What do you make?

02:09:28.000 So I was there because the first lady, her two-day summit initiative, State Department.

02:09:32.000 With the robots.

02:09:33.000 Yes.

02:09:34.000 So basically she brought together 45 different countries, first ladies, which I think is remarkable and leaders.

02:09:40.000 And then the last day, which was at the White House, she walked out with a robot that's American made. 0.95

02:09:44.000 And she's getting a lot of slack because now they're saying that.

02:09:47.000 Oh, I was at Optimus?

02:09:48.000 Well, no, it was a different company.

02:09:50.000 Yeah.

02:09:51.000 They called it Pluto, but I don't know what the name is.

02:09:53.000 I can't remember the company.

02:09:54.000 Something C3 or S3 or something like that.

02:09:57.000 Anyway, so people are saying that, you know, her messaging was that, you know, robots are going to teach our children.

02:10:04.000 What's your take on that?

02:10:05.000 I mean, I don't think.

02:10:06.000 Not my kids.

02:10:08.000 So look, let me just tell you.

02:10:10.000 Again, I come from California and the way things are going at the schools there, I would prefer a robot at this point.

02:10:19.000 Not Chet GPT.

02:10:20.000 Do you see what I'm talking about?

02:10:21.000 No.

02:10:22.000 Nope. 1.00

02:10:23.000 Like I've had friends that got smashed by a semi-truck because they had an idiot driving the car. 1.00

02:10:28.000 I'd rather that was a robo-taxi. 0.99

02:10:29.000 Like, well, Yvonne, look at Musk's Teslas now, like, self-driving.

02:10:34.000 My kids not being raised by no robot.

02:10:36.000 Like, as long as the robot can't strangle my child, like, if it's a computer box, it's more efficiency.

02:10:41.000 Like, there's a classroom, right?

02:10:43.000 And then you have robots, let's say, that would teach the science or whatever.

02:10:47.000 I think that personally, I would say I would rather have a robot because I think that you'll be able to pick the curriculum.

02:10:52.000 I think that you're going to have a lot of influence over that kind of stuff.

02:10:54.000 There'll be a lot of options that you can go with, depending on what kind of curriculum you want your kid to have.

02:11:00.000 You can go ahead and say, this is what I want the lesson plans to be.

02:11:03.000 You have control over them.

02:11:04.000 You don't have to worry about your kids being exposed to things that you don't want that.

02:11:08.000 Exactly.

02:11:08.000 That was actually my take.

02:11:09.000 That's why I wanted to see what you thought about it because I'm really disturbed by what's happening in education.

02:11:14.000 First of all, robots are woke.

02:11:16.000 I'm one of the most pro-AI people here, too.

02:11:18.000 Like, I've got a lot of agent.

02:11:20.000 They're not all woke.

02:11:21.000 No, they're not.

02:11:21.000 Yeah, they are.

02:11:22.000 I know who ChatGPT is.

02:11:23.000 Rock is the only one that's not.

02:11:25.000 Was that you could have like Grok-ish type robots? 0.76

02:11:29.000 I use Claude.

02:11:30.000 Still kind of woke.

02:11:31.000 See, so my friend likes Claude.

02:11:32.000 Why do you prefer Claude?

02:11:34.000 Sonnet works really well.

02:11:36.000 Mostly it's the interaction.

02:11:38.000 Like it's very human.

02:11:39.000 I haven't tried GPT or Grok or anything like that.

02:11:45.000 Doesn't the administration, they use Claude too, right?

02:11:48.000 They used to.

02:11:49.000 I think they're moving.

02:11:50.000 Oh, that's right, because what happened with Secretary of War, right?

02:11:53.000 Which is, in my opinion, that's the correct thing to do.

02:11:56.000 Because essentially, think of it like this.

02:11:59.000 If a company that designs a product, which is what AI is, can say to the Defense Department, you can't use our product for X, what's to stop Raytheon from saying, you can't shoot our missiles at these people?

02:12:10.000 You know, what's to stop a weapon manufacturer from saying, you can't do this.

02:12:14.000 The Defense Department has to have absolute and total control over how that specific system is used.

02:12:21.000 And if they can't, or if the company's like, well, we're not okay with that.

02:12:25.000 Well, then we're going to have to find someone that is okay.

02:12:27.000 Right.

02:12:27.000 Didn't President Trump come out and say like, we're done with you?

02:12:30.000 Okay.

02:12:30.000 Right.

02:12:30.000 Yep.

02:12:30.000 If I understand correctly.

02:12:31.000 I don't know.

02:12:32.000 I mean, look, it's Trump.

02:12:32.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:12:33.000 So, you know, what he says and what actually happens that they don't always line up, you know?

02:12:40.000 But I believe that's what they said.

02:12:42.000 I do believe that that's what they're using or they're moving away from.

02:12:45.000 Look, Claude was, in my opinion, or my opinion.

02:12:48.000 My understanding is Claude was pivotal when it came to the Maduro raid and for selecting targets in the Maduro raid.

02:12:56.000 Yeah, you're in.

02:12:57.000 And there is a new AI that they're using with Palantir.

02:13:01.000 I forget what it's called, but Palantir is designing its own AI as well or something to that effect.

02:13:08.000 I don't know.

02:13:08.000 Listen, we live in a digital age world, right?

02:13:10.000 And it's like if we don't keep up here in America, then our future generation gets lost.

02:13:16.000 And, you know, earlier in your show, Tim, we were talking about China, right?

02:13:20.000 I want to tell you guys a story that's happening in California.

02:13:22.000 In Riverside, California, there's a school.

02:13:24.000 It was just, I broke this story.

02:13:26.000 There was a school that became a sister station of this other school district, Valverde Unified.

02:13:33.000 And this sister station was based in China.

02:13:37.000 And these students in China never stepped a foot in the United States of America.

02:13:44.000 It was high school.

02:13:46.000 They ended up getting diplomas with California seals and everything.

02:13:50.000 And then they were guaranteed entrance into one of the top 100 universities in the United States of America.

02:13:58.000 Anybody, do you know of any high schools in the United States that give you a guarantee to go to any of the universities?

02:14:04.000 I know, I see your face.

02:14:05.000 You're like, no, this is real.

02:14:06.000 It's 100% verified.

02:14:09.000 How is China getting?

02:14:11.000 We're being sold out.

02:14:12.000 Yeah, we're being sold out.

02:14:13.000 100%.

02:14:15.000 Let's bring in some callers and we'll start with Asmodeus.

02:14:18.000 What's going on, brother?

02:14:19.000 Deus.

02:14:19.000 Hey.

02:14:19.000 What's up?

02:14:20.000 Thanks for having me back.

02:14:20.000 Hi.

02:14:21.000 Cheers.

02:14:22.000 Anytime.

02:14:23.000 Yep, three weeks vacation.

02:14:23.000 Cheers.

02:14:26.000 So, oh, I'm a, I'm new to the format here, so just give me a bit.

02:14:32.000 Three-time Trump voter, I'm, for lack of a better term, pretty pissed with what's happened with the Epstein files as well as the Iranian war.

02:14:41.000 I think it's a bad play.

02:14:44.000 I know that the war is still ongoing.

02:14:45.000 It could turn out okay, but it's definitely has a chance to spiral out of control.

02:14:53.000 My question is for the 2028 midterms.

02:14:55.000 There seem to be a lot of people both in the 2010s.

02:14:57.000 26 midterms, you mean?

02:14:59.000 No, I meant the, sorry, the 2028 presidential election.

02:15:04.000 The presidential election, do you think that whoever is Trump's successor, whether it's Vance, I've heard rumors that he may drop out because he may be having another kid, whoever it is,

02:15:17.000 are they going to have to walk back or distance themselves from some of Trump's, I guess you'd say, bungles, and how is it?

02:15:25.000 Well, I mean, maybe because it's just politics, not because, but they're always going to play it.

02:15:29.000 They'll always say like, well, I disagree with the president on that one, but he did a great job.

02:15:33.000 That's how they play it.

02:15:34.000 Yeah, it all depends on the results, right?

02:15:37.000 If come 20, you know, halfway through 2027, the situation is different.

02:15:43.000 The whole global order has been shifted and the United States is in a stronger position than it was in the beginning of his presidency and the economy looks good, then they're going to embrace Trump.

02:15:54.000 They're going to embrace Trump's policies.

02:15:56.000 And they're going to say, look at all these good things that Donald Trump has done.

02:15:58.000 And they're going to be looking for Donald Trump's endorsement.

02:16:01.000 If things are bad, they're going to be doing all they can to distance themselves.

02:16:04.000 And they're going to be like, well, you know, Donald Trump shouldn't have done this and he shouldn't have done that.

02:16:08.000 And they'll be critical of him.

02:16:09.000 But it all depends on how things work out.

02:16:10.000 And it's too early to tell right now.

02:16:12.000 Yeah, I think Rubio, I mean, the prediction market's saying it too, Rubio.

02:16:15.000 I think Budajej is going to do a lot.

02:16:18.000 He's the frontrunner for New Hampshire.

02:16:19.000 Budajej.

02:16:20.000 Budajej.

02:16:21.000 Because Newsom is the Joker. 0.83

02:16:23.000 Budajej is your kind of boring guy.

02:16:27.000 I'm not saying he's going to win.

02:16:28.000 I think he's going to announce.

02:16:29.000 And I think Pritzker's going to announce too.

02:16:31.000 Have you noticed that Rubio is everywhere President Trump is?

02:16:34.000 Like everywhere.

02:16:36.000 Like today.

02:16:36.000 I'm impressed.

02:16:37.000 Rubio sat on one side of him and then Pete Hexet sat on the other side.

02:16:41.000 And JD Vance was in the room, but Rubio is everywhere.

02:16:45.000 I loved it when he started speaking Spanish a couple weeks ago.

02:16:49.000 I think it was right after Venezuela.

02:16:50.000 He's like, I'm a good translator as well.

02:16:52.000 No, but I'm very, very impressed by him.

02:16:55.000 I think Rubio is very impressive over the past year.

02:16:58.000 He said he's like the funniest guy in the whole organization.

02:17:01.000 Rubio is?

02:17:02.000 He's so stoic on camera.

02:17:04.000 He's just so calm.

02:17:06.000 He must have been super genius.

02:17:08.000 I didn't realize he was this one.

02:17:09.000 I know.

02:17:10.000 This is why people like him, though, because in a culture war, Rubio has been very flat.

02:17:16.000 He's doing interviews and he talks very calmly and like this and says, well, you know, he doesn't get in people's face.

02:17:21.000 He doesn't do memes.

02:17:22.000 And I think it's going to play well.

02:17:23.000 I think people are tired of it.

02:17:24.000 Rubio means Rubio's biggest Rubio's biggest problem is he's 5'9.

02:17:30.000 Is he?

02:17:30.000 That's true.

02:17:31.000 He is.

02:17:31.000 Oh, I didn't even like that.

02:17:32.000 Yeah, and JD Vance like 12 feet tall.

02:17:34.000 I don't know.

02:17:35.000 Aaron Trump is going to be the first emperor of America, though.

02:17:37.000 He's 8 feet tall.

02:17:38.000 JD Vance's wife, by the way, is from San Diego.

02:17:40.000 That's very.

02:17:41.000 So Vance says, there's word that he's not going to run?

02:17:44.000 Rumblings on the internet being like, oh, he might not run.

02:17:47.000 But again, you're seeing Rubio and Donald Trump is everywhere with Rubio all the time.

02:17:55.000 And he's all the time.

02:17:57.000 The prediction markets have Rubio.

02:17:59.000 But Caller, did you want to, Asmedez, you want to add anything? 0.98

02:18:02.000 I mean, I can go, if we want to add some fire to this, I can go deeper into why I think Inc., the whole Iran war is bullshit, especially given the fact that we've kind of replaced the Ayatollah or the former Ayatollah, not the gay one. 0.99

02:18:21.000 The gay one. 1.00

02:18:22.000 Well, alleged. 0.99

02:18:26.000 But yeah, I mean, just from a technical standpoint, the Iran war has kind of revealed that U.S. infrastructure is a lot more vulnerable to cheap, like, rocket shit than what we had thought.

02:18:39.000 And we've also expended a lot of munitions in this war that we would need in a war with China, hypothetically speaking. 0.89

02:18:47.000 But, I mean, Israel's all or not. 0.99

02:18:49.000 Damn it. 1.00

02:18:50.000 Iran's been able to take out some pretty significant infrastructure in the region, especially U.S. infrastructure, with their cheaply made shitty rockets and missiles. 1.00

02:19:02.000 So it's kind of worrying for me and for others who follow like geopolitics and international security what a country like China would be able to do with their rockets and their missiles, 0.84

02:19:16.000 which are considerably of higher quality.

02:19:18.000 No, they're the same ones.

02:19:20.000 No.

02:19:21.000 Yeah, all this, like the stuff that Iran has, they got a vat, a significant amount of their stuff came from China.

02:19:29.000 Like all the anti-shaped.

02:19:31.000 Not their rockets, I believe.

02:19:33.000 Their ICBMs are homemade.

02:19:35.000 Now, some of their air systems, yes, but they have their own domestic missile program.

02:19:40.000 And they've had the opportunity to buy them from North Korea and Russia, but they haven't.

02:19:47.000 It would make sense for China to sell around in some, but not all of their tech, you know, and keep the best tech for themselves.

02:19:55.000 Well, they wouldn't.

02:19:56.000 I don't think they would sell missile technology to Iran anyway.

02:19:59.000 Well, unless they want to see how it performs in the field.

02:20:02.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:20:05.000 So Iran purchased Chinese C-802 and C-704 anti-ship missiles in the 80s and 90s.

02:20:13.000 And they got some Soviet Kh-55 cruise missiles from Ukraine, and they got some Scuds from the Soviets, some Scud B short-range ballistic missiles.

02:20:26.000 Is that outdated?

02:20:27.000 That sounds like outdated tech, though.

02:20:30.000 Like, what's the modern infrastructure?

02:20:32.000 Like, what's the modern so since the early 2010s, Iran has traditioned to producing an increasingly sophisticated indigenous arsenal, including the Jose ranged 1,350, and a Sumar, which is ranged 2,500,

02:20:48.000 while continuing to receive components and support from Chinese suppliers to replenish stockpiles and advanced development.

02:20:52.000 Look, they have an agreement with China.

02:20:57.000 So maybe they don't have all, maybe everything isn't bought from China, but they lean heavily on Chinese technology.

02:21:03.000 So like what happened in both Venezuela and in Iran have shown that the United States is capable of handling Chinese technology.

02:21:13.000 China's kind of shown that they're a paper tiger between these two engagements. 0.62

02:21:18.000 I think it was.

02:21:19.000 So no, I was going to say, do you remember when the U.S. went into Venezuela and then there was this post and I think Caroline Levitt retweeted it about how they went in and just there weren't that many Americans who went into 150.

02:21:30.000 Yeah, Maduro, but they said that they had like these sonic like boom stuff that people started like bleeding and passing out.

02:21:37.000 Do you think is that real?

02:21:39.000 Absolutely.

02:21:40.000 Yeah, because I was like, I never got confirmation, but the fact that Caroline Levitt retweeted it, I'm like, there has to be some truth to it.

02:21:40.000 That was real.

02:21:40.000 Okay.

02:21:46.000 It's like, I mean, I'm terrified of that tech because that's like, that's like, it doesn't hurt robots the way it hurts humans.

02:21:51.000 And that's like chemical warfare.

02:21:52.000 They banned it in the mid-1900s.

02:21:54.000 Well, chemical warfare is coming to, you know, coming to us.

02:21:58.000 As Esme Deus, the point that I'm trying to make is China is not this military powerhouse that people kind of want to portray them as.

02:22:08.000 They haven't fought a war in over 50 years, right?

02:22:11.000 They don't.

02:22:12.000 So their weapons technology hasn't been tested.

02:22:15.000 And the tests that hasn't been significantly tested.

02:22:18.000 And the tests that have happened have been through proxies like Venezuela and Iran, and it fails against the United States. 0.62

02:22:26.000 Like it just fails.

02:22:28.000 Let me say this.

02:22:29.000 I understand that China isn't on the same level as the U.S., at least yet.

02:22:36.000 From what I've heard, that's a far ways away.

02:22:40.000 But any conceivable conflict with China would take place in their own backyard.

02:22:45.000 They have the home field advantage there.

02:22:47.000 And as for testing Chinese tech, I believe it's already been tested in the Chinese or the Pakistan, India.

02:22:56.000 Some of their fighters were used by Pakistanis against India, yes.

02:23:00.000 Well, I believe it was Chinese missiles that shot down our own Indian fighters because Pakistan used them. 1.00

02:23:10.000 Yeah, but you're not talking about the most advanced technology out there, and you're not talking about things that the United States has access to or the type of weapon systems and the type of integrated network that the U.S. has.

02:23:25.000 Look, I understand that China's got, is not a, is not, you know, there's nothing to shake a stick at. 0.97

02:23:30.000 But the idea that the United States would be destroyed by China or the U.S. can't take China, there would be losses. 0.94

02:23:37.000 There would be casualties.

02:23:38.000 I'm not trying to say that it would be like, you know, the Venezuela op.

02:23:42.000 But the idea that the U.S. is incredibly vulnerable to China and China's very dangerous and the U.S. has to be very, very careful and the U.S. has to mine their P's and Q's with China. 0.99

02:23:53.000 That is just plain wrong.

02:23:55.000 The United States is the most advanced and most powerful military on earth.

02:24:00.000 We have discombobulators.

02:24:02.000 We do have discombobulators.

02:24:03.000 I'm not saying that we aren't, and I'm not saying that we would lose to China, but what this war with Iran is doing is it's depleting critical stockpiles of weapons that we would need in a war.

02:24:15.000 Yeah, but China's not in a position to instigate any kind of conflict.

02:24:20.000 And don't forget, NATO has weapons too, and they've not yet committed a lot.

02:24:25.000 So you are right there.

02:24:26.000 If it really came down to it and China did try to launch any kind of offensive, it would trigger Article 5.

02:24:32.000 And then now we've got NATO behind us, which is largely our stockpiles, by the way, but whatever.

02:24:36.000 I mean, I understand what you're saying, but the point that I'm making is there are a lot of people that are against the war.

02:24:45.000 And fair enough, you're totally justified in having that opinion.

02:24:48.000 But because they're against the war, they have an overall negative view of the United States military capabilities.

02:24:55.000 They say that the U.S. can't do this.

02:24:56.000 And oh, look, Iran took out a couple Thad batteries and stuff.

02:25:02.000 And this is such a terrible thing.

02:25:04.000 And, oh, look, Iran took out a, you know, they were able to hit an F-35 and they were able to hit an F-15.

02:25:10.000 Think about what you're saying.

02:25:12.000 There have been over 10,000 military targets struck in Iran.

02:25:18.000 And Iran throws a party when they're able to get a missile close enough to damage an F-35. 0.77

02:25:24.000 Not even have it taken out of the sky.

02:25:26.000 It still landed safely.

02:25:29.000 We do need to go to some more callers.

02:25:30.000 Did you want to shout anything out before we go?

02:25:33.000 Yeah, I've been meaning to shut this out for a while.

02:25:35.000 So you remember the China Uncensored team.

02:25:37.000 You've had them a few times on your show, right?

02:25:39.000 I think so, right?

02:25:40.000 Did we?

02:25:40.000 Yeah.

02:25:41.000 Way back.

02:25:42.000 Yeah.

02:25:43.000 Yeah.

02:25:43.000 Chris has had to transition into his own platform now.

02:25:47.000 YouTube's just become too hostile.

02:25:49.000 He's trying to get subscribers onto his website, chinauncensored.tv.

02:25:54.000 So if you want to shout it out or maybe bring him onto the show.

02:25:58.000 Thank you.

02:25:59.000 Just bring him onto the show.

02:26:00.000 Yeah, we'll seek him out.

02:26:02.000 Who's that?

02:26:03.000 Thank you.

02:26:03.000 Ronan, thanks for calling in, brother.

02:26:05.000 I asked the AI, what's the best Chinese weapons?

02:26:08.000 And it's like, well, traditional bladed weapons like the Jan and Dallas.

02:26:10.000 Political clippings.

02:26:12.000 You're next.

02:26:12.000 What's up, man?

02:26:14.000 Clippings.

02:26:16.000 What's up, political clippings?

02:26:18.000 You're on the air, man. 0.93

02:26:19.000 And it is fucking great to have you here, dude. 0.89

02:26:23.000 Hey, what's up, guys? 0.92

02:26:24.000 You guys heard me before, right?

02:26:26.000 Yeah.

02:26:26.000 No, not tonight.

02:26:29.000 Not tonight.

02:26:30.000 Yeah.

02:26:31.000 My question, or I guess maybe statement is probably the exact opposite of Asmodeus.

02:26:40.000 I've been really white-pilled on Trump.

02:26:43.000 Oh, okay.

02:26:44.000 And I think we can win the midterms.

02:26:48.000 Yeah, I really do think that.

02:26:50.000 I think the last couple, I don't know, maybe the last couple days or something.

02:26:58.000 I'm a big Tim Cast listener, but like it just, I felt like I was checking out because it just felt very black pilled and everybody turned into Eeyore from Lee the Pooh and we're not going to get this done and we're not going to get that done.

02:27:12.000 But what I wanted to say was, let me double check.

02:27:19.000 Yeah, like we I feel like the culture lately has been, we've been kind of on the back foot and we've been following the lead of these like left-wing grifters and as Tim calls them, 0.89

02:27:36.000 retard right Israel Maxers. 1.00

02:27:39.000 I didn't make it up.

02:27:42.000 And, you know, I feel like I put this request in for the for the guest for some subsequent shows, but from Promethean Action,

02:27:54.000 they've been doing a lot of good work on Trump's foreign policies.

02:27:59.000 So when Tim posted the video of Trump's foreign policy checkmate, I thought that like, I feel like we're finally striking some gold here because Trump decoupling us from this deference to EU and the NATO has been,

02:28:21.000 it's, it's, if we lean into this, instead of all this like conspiracy theories on both the left and the right, and we've just really followed that trail, I think everybody can get galvanized.

02:28:36.000 I mean, and that thread was great. 0.98

02:28:38.000 It pulled all the pieces together and it's like, oh, shit. 0.99

02:28:41.000 It's like, trust the man, trust the plan. 1.00

02:28:44.000 It's not even about Trump.

02:28:45.000 It's like Kushner, Rubio.

02:28:47.000 There's a plan.

02:28:48.000 Yeah.

02:28:49.000 There's a machine in place that's doing a lot of things.

02:28:52.000 And I think that's what we're not seeing.

02:28:53.000 And we're not seeing it because the public doesn't like it.

02:28:56.000 The public doesn't like war.

02:28:57.000 The Trump supporters back Trump, but that's why everyone's like, what's going on?

02:29:01.000 We're not getting the SAVE Act passed.

02:29:03.000 What's happening?

02:29:04.000 And you don't see that behind the scenes, Trump has taken over the world.

02:29:07.000 Right.

02:29:08.000 I think about that a lot with the...

02:29:09.000 That thumbnail was great that Jessica made, by the way, where Trump's holding Earth. 0.67

02:29:12.000 The colonists.

02:29:13.000 That was so good.

02:29:14.000 American settlers that just slaughtered the Native population. 0.98

02:29:18.000 And now it's so much love for the people of this continent and Americans.

02:29:21.000 We're like, do you understand why we're here and what happened to the Native population when our ancestors got here?

02:29:27.000 I mean, that was a very natural part of being an American.

02:29:30.000 Natives were slaughtering each other, too.

02:29:32.000 And a lot of the natives died from barbarism.

02:29:34.000 A lot of the natives died from diseases that were brought to.

02:29:38.000 It wasn't just a total massacre.

02:29:40.000 It was already they were massacring each other. 1.00

02:29:42.000 Like you said, we dipped into this like even worse ancient way of living, this tribal insanity, fucking theocracy. 1.00

02:29:49.000 Are you kidding me? 1.00

02:29:50.000 Like, what the fuck? 1.00

02:29:51.000 So we brought them civilization. 0.99

02:29:54.000 By the way, Trump does not want this war to go on forever, too, guys.

02:29:57.000 So, I mean, he's made that very clear.

02:29:59.000 You know, basically in and out.

02:30:00.000 I mean, he can't do it in one day.

02:30:03.000 What's that?

02:30:04.000 No, but I'm just saying, like, there's a plan.

02:30:06.000 They're putting 10,000 Marines across the Strait of Hormuz.

02:30:09.000 Is that the plan?

02:30:10.000 Is we're going to set down 10,000 guys?

02:30:12.000 I just thought that they've made the plan public.

02:30:14.000 I think they're talking about Carg Island.

02:30:17.000 I think they'd be taking Carg Island first.

02:30:19.000 Yep.

02:30:21.000 That's their spigot.

02:30:22.000 And then hold it for 20 years.

02:30:22.000 Yeah.

02:30:24.000 Like, what the fuck? 1.00

02:30:25.000 Yep. 1.00

02:30:25.000 I don't know. 1.00

02:30:26.000 Control Iranian distribution. 1.00

02:30:28.000 I mean, if they take Carg Island, they control Iranian distribution. 1.00

02:30:31.000 We own oil.

02:30:32.000 Like, OPEC is gone.

02:30:33.000 That's dead.

02:30:34.000 Yeah.

02:30:35.000 And then what do you think happens to Qatar?

02:30:37.000 Because then we don't really need Qatar.

02:30:40.000 I think they'll be all right.

02:30:41.000 They'll make money.

02:30:43.000 Like, we want their, they got them.

02:30:44.000 They got the largest natural gas production.

02:30:46.000 It's better.

02:30:47.000 They share the same pipeline as Iran.

02:30:49.000 It's fine.

02:30:50.000 We still want to buy oil from them and use their oil.

02:30:53.000 We don't want to deplete.

02:30:54.000 Yeah, we don't want to.

02:30:55.000 Why aren't we going to have a world production?

02:30:57.000 So we own the bulk.

02:30:58.000 We really don't need Qatar. 0.98

02:31:00.000 Yeah.

02:31:00.000 So we make them give it to us at a better price.

02:31:03.000 We don't need it.

02:31:03.000 Just like Saudis, right?

02:31:04.000 Yeah, we don't need it.

02:31:05.000 We'll buy it from you.

02:31:06.000 But because we don't need it, you have to give us a better price.

02:31:09.000 And why would we use our oil or our liquid natural gas when we can get it from someone else at a significantly lower price and save our resources for us?

02:31:20.000 Okay, now when we're at our best, let's look into the future.

02:31:25.000 How low do you think the gas prices could go?

02:31:28.000 Honestly, I think that gas.

02:31:29.000 $1.99.

02:31:30.000 $1.99.

02:31:30.000 What's that?

02:31:31.000 Yeah, I mean, look, it's my opinion that oil and gasoline, well, oil, is too valuable to actually burn in cars.

02:31:40.000 I think that we should be moving to electric vehicles.

02:31:43.000 And the reason I say that is because you can make like basically all of civilization runs on oil.

02:31:49.000 So all of the petrochemicals that we fertilize food with, all of the like tons of medicines are made with some kind of petroleum base.

02:31:56.000 There's all kinds of products that are made with a petroleum base.

02:31:59.000 Why are we using, I understand that right now it is energy dense, so it makes sense to use it, but there's been so many advances in battery technology.

02:32:08.000 There's no reason for us to continue using.

02:32:11.000 I mean, look at California.

02:32:13.000 What?

02:32:13.000 What do you mean?

02:32:14.000 Blackout, brownouts, blackouts.

02:32:17.000 That's policy.

02:32:18.000 That's because California has terrible policies.

02:32:20.000 I'm saying, imagine if we all went to electric vehicles.

02:32:23.000 I mean, California would be screwed, but the rest of the country would be fine.

02:32:25.000 First of all, and second of all, battery technology has really advanced a lot, and you can switch the we should be trying to switch the power or power generation from burning coal and fossil fuels over to using nuclear.

02:32:41.000 That would be the smart move.

02:32:42.000 I don't think that's going to happen in this administration.

02:32:45.000 It's definitely not going to happen in this administration because it's definitely not going to happen in this administration because it takes time to actually get these things going.

02:32:51.000 But there are small nuclear reactors that are going.

02:32:54.000 And there's one thing that people don't really think about or talk about.

02:32:57.000 But when it comes to like AI data centers, they're starting to build their own power plants.

02:33:01.000 And they have to create so much power to run these data centers that if they're actually, if they have their own power plant built onto it, they're going to be producing so much power that the power needs of the local town becomes a rounding error.

02:33:15.000 If a power plant, seriously, if it becomes 100, if it needs 1,500 megawatts to run a station, your average town runs on like 80 megawatts.

02:33:25.000 So it's like 5% of what they need.

02:33:27.000 So literally, you'll drive the cost of power down to almost nothing because intelligence is way more valuable than energy.

02:33:34.000 I'm just excited because where we are right now is in the power corridor for the tri-state data centers.

02:33:40.000 West Virginia is opening a big one.

02:33:41.000 So if they want to get electricity through, they need to own all these lots, which means this lot we're on is going to be worth $200 million for a period of time.

02:33:49.000 Yeah, there'll be a window where you can.

02:33:50.000 Yeah, we've got 50-ish acres.

02:33:51.000 And if they go for $4 million an acre.

02:33:53.000 I don't think you can replace oil and hydrogen, oil, or methane with nuclear because it's not a fuel.

02:34:02.000 It's a power station.

02:34:03.000 You can use power stations like nuclear, things that you can't move around.

02:34:06.000 They can sit there, but the only fuel sources that we know of are hydrogen, carbon, and plutonium.

02:34:11.000 Said Trump owns the preeminent fusion energy company in the United States.

02:34:15.000 I don't know anything about that.

02:34:16.000 Battery and batteries in fusion.

02:34:18.000 Electric batteries, electric cars.

02:34:20.000 We do need to get these other callers in, though.

02:34:22.000 So, Carla, do you want to shout anything out before we move on?

02:34:25.000 If it goes down, I just wanted to say, I feel like you guys would really benefit from getting the people from Promethean Action on here because they expound more on the foreign policy and all the good things that we have to look forward to.

02:34:41.000 But aside from that, X.com/slash political episodes.

02:34:46.000 That's it.

02:34:46.000 That was all.

02:34:47.000 Thanks for calling in.

02:34:48.000 Thanks, man.

02:34:49.000 All right, next up, we've got Pre-Mark Tech.

02:34:53.000 What's up?

02:34:55.000 Hey, Gemmas.

02:34:57.000 So I got a question, kind of two of them for the whole panel here.

02:35:02.000 First bit is: I am currently building an AI auto turret that I will mount to all of my emus to guard my property.

02:35:11.000 I know Phil's on my team, but who else wants to challenge my defenses?

02:35:16.000 Do I have any volunteers?

02:35:16.000 No.

02:35:18.000 Oh, I won't go near the property.

02:35:20.000 I trust the strength of your emu.

02:35:22.000 No, I don't like AI.

02:35:24.000 Are you going to give them autonomous targeting control?

02:35:27.000 What if they shoot each other?

02:35:29.000 Cool, Glass.

02:35:30.000 Well, so legally, no, because I'm legitimately building this project right now.

02:35:35.000 So legally, no.

02:35:36.000 They have to have human in the loop, just like the Department of War type stuff.

02:35:42.000 But I could set them up to remember for the main thing is raccoons getting into my chicken coop, man.

02:35:48.000 We lost too many of them.

02:35:51.000 Yeah, you can't just essentially be classified like booby traps.

02:35:55.000 You can't put booby traps on your like if you put a gun on an emu can you have a remote control mounted gun on your property?

02:36:02.000 You it can be remote control, but it can't be you can't be like you can't have like a tripwire that shooting that fires.

02:36:08.000 So what would happen is the AI would target and sense the raised, then you'd get the command and you'd push the button and the gun.

02:36:13.000 The reason why you can't do booby traps is because emergency responders will get hurt.

02:36:17.000 That's why booby traps are illegal.

02:36:20.000 Also, I probably won't put an actual firearm in it, aside from for the first fun testing and whatnot, but a giant hose powerful gun with pepper balls or something like that.

02:36:30.000 But I enjoy going and taking care of the pests on the property anyway when I have to.

02:36:36.000 But the main thing I did call in for is, Tim, you're always so doom and gloom on AI.

02:36:40.000 And I know a decent bit about it.

02:36:42.000 So like, what's really got you so doom and gloom on it?

02:36:47.000 What do you mean by doom and gloom, though?

02:36:50.000 So you're talking about how it's going to destroy a lot of industries.

02:36:53.000 And I kind of think it's more of an issue of transforming them, just like the protection.

02:36:53.000 Yep.

02:37:02.000 So again, I got it.

02:37:02.000 You're on the learn to code side, right?

02:37:07.000 Not completely like a Luddite.

02:37:09.000 So not completely, but I do hear a lot of sorry, Doug.

02:37:13.000 When the guy loses his job, you tell him, well, why don't you learn to code and a VIBE code?

02:37:17.000 When the guy's like, bro, my job was data transcription and now my job is gone.

02:37:23.000 Well, why don't you learn a coal mine?

02:37:25.000 Like the idea that sections of our economy or industry are fungible, this is the utilitarian view.

02:37:32.000 I got into an argument with who did we have, Heaton?

02:37:35.000 And he was like, it's great.

02:37:36.000 And I'm like, tell the guy who spent 20 years learning his profession, who's out of a job now, that it's great that a Honduran migrant now has a job based on AI. 0.86

02:37:46.000 So I'm not for that.

02:37:48.000 I'm actually all for getting jobs back to people because AI is a fancy search engine.

02:37:53.000 That's all it really is.

02:37:55.000 And I mean, you can do it with any of these AIs where they think they're super intelligent.

02:38:01.000 They put off this thing.

02:38:02.000 They pass the Turing test and all that.

02:38:04.000 And no matter which one they are, everyone tested them.

02:38:06.000 Right. 0.99

02:38:07.000 Using like a damn protocol, you can. 1.00

02:38:10.000 Music's over. 1.00

02:38:11.000 What's that?

02:38:12.000 Music is over.

02:38:14.000 Like, it's not, it's not a search engine.

02:38:15.000 Music production is over.

02:38:18.000 It's not an exaggeration to say music production is over.

02:38:20.000 I'm playing music tomorrow.

02:38:23.000 Indeed, it's fun to do as a hobby, but no one's going to hire you because we can AI generate all of it instantly.

02:38:28.000 But you can't reproduce live performance.

02:38:31.000 No, but I was listening to a song the other day, and then I go, Who is listening?

02:38:34.000 Who sings this song?

02:38:35.000 And my daughter goes, Oh, I think it's TikTok.

02:38:37.000 I see.

02:38:38.000 She goes, I think it's AI.

02:38:39.000 I saw it on TikTok.

02:38:40.000 I'm like, What do you mean this song is AI?

02:38:42.000 She's like, Yeah, it is.

02:38:43.000 And then I chat GPT'd it.

02:38:45.000 It was AI.

02:38:46.000 We are not talking about live shows.

02:38:48.000 Music producers.

02:38:49.000 It's over.

02:38:50.000 A musician being rich was kind of insane anyway, destroyed by it.

02:38:55.000 But I don't think it's prolific as what most movies, Hollywoods, bro.

02:38:58.000 These are huge sections of our economy.

02:39:00.000 Gaming is over.

02:39:01.000 Acting and musicians were overpaid anyway, dude.

02:39:03.000 It was game developers all lost their jobs.

02:39:06.000 Like, do you saw what they're doing with the DRSS or whatever?

02:39:10.000 Yeah.

02:39:11.000 DSA, yeah, yeah.

02:39:12.000 Yeah, DL, whatever.

02:39:13.000 I'm not sure how that one.

02:39:14.000 I'm not sure how that one will work out yet.

02:39:16.000 I've looked into it.

02:39:18.000 It looks like it can take some boilerplate programming jobs.

02:39:22.000 Bro, Google Genie, come on.

02:39:24.000 Gaming is done.

02:39:26.000 It's over.

02:39:27.000 We're going to lose like 7 million jobs in the next five years.

02:39:33.000 I don't think it's going to be that bad because they're already hiring a bunch of people back.

02:39:33.000 Five years.

02:39:37.000 And you're saying, like, with the back propagation of AIs.

02:39:44.000 What's that mean?

02:39:44.000 Backpropagation.

02:39:45.000 They're hiring people back because the coding didn't work.

02:39:49.000 No, no, so the AIs, they have a so they've already absorbed basically all the internet information.

02:39:56.000 And as you try to get it to train further, any more information you put through it is actually just back propagating back into the algorithm as it starts to sort through these different convolutional areas or neural networks.

02:40:10.000 And as they do that, they destroy themselves.

02:40:14.000 So what are you saying?

02:40:15.000 That's why a lot of these people.

02:40:17.000 So there's, I'm not saying we're at the peak of AI yet with the current models, but the current models that we have are not going to expand like this illusionary exponential growth forever.

02:40:28.000 No, it's when we hit quantum computation and they can exist in the maybe state where it's a one and a zero.

02:40:33.000 That's scarier.

02:40:34.000 But with current, the way computers work right now, the way current AIs work, it is not a skynet.

02:40:40.000 Like, in my mind, there's no way physically possible for it to become a quote-unquote skynet.

02:40:46.000 It absolutely is.

02:40:47.000 And it feels like you're only looking at one tiny portion of current AI and you're not looking at the big picture.

02:40:54.000 No, I'm looking at a lot of them because a lot of these models are multi-model.

02:40:57.000 They're like, you know, ChatGPT is built off of NLP and LLM, natural language processing and large language model, right?

02:41:06.000 But they actually have a lot of different models built into them.

02:41:09.000 Every single one of those that have to go through that filter for when you put in that request, it starts to get worse and worse.

02:41:15.000 And right now, we've just thrown tons of compute at it.

02:41:19.000 Just powering through it with the computers themselves.

02:41:23.000 But we're already hitting that wall where we can't push past that point right now.

02:41:27.000 That's why Ram's gone.

02:41:30.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:41:31.000 It's like driving and you go so fast, you get wind resistance, and then you get to the point of terminal velocity.

02:41:36.000 And I think these classical computational computers are experiencing a form of, you know, yeah, we're not at the peak yet, but there is going to be a time here soon that it does taper off on the growth.

02:41:50.000 Then we'll hit quantum computation, though.

02:41:52.000 So for instance, Army Quest has been on ice for four years because we don't have any game developers.

02:41:59.000 And now, thanks to Chat GPT, it's being finished right now in record time.

02:42:04.000 So instead of hiring a computer programmer, my brother is just, he just literally turned the microphone on and said, make it so that the game does this and we want to do this and that.

02:42:13.000 And then, oh yeah, like this as well.

02:42:16.000 And then, oh, one more thing.

02:42:18.000 Yeah, do this.

02:42:19.000 And then it goes, done.

02:42:20.000 Sounds like you're sounds like your brother's a game developer now.

02:42:24.000 Yep.

02:42:24.000 And it sounds like the actual game developers who used to make good money developing games are out of jobs.

02:42:31.000 And instead, my brother is just dictating to a microphone for five minutes and then not having to do much work at all.

02:42:37.000 I think they're going to start paying their games.

02:42:39.000 Those game developers, they can go learn to code.

02:42:41.000 They're going to start paying you to play their games.

02:42:42.000 Literally, it'll be you because your time is more valuable than the 20 bucks you give that company.

02:42:48.000 They want you staring at their screen.

02:42:50.000 No one's going to pay you to play the game.

02:42:52.000 They already pay influencers to play their games publicly.

02:42:54.000 Yes, but the regular people aren't going to get paid.

02:42:55.000 I think it's going to invert to the point where there's so much entertainment that just to get your eyeballs, they're going to incentivize you with something, if not money.

02:43:04.000 That wouldn't make sense because how would they make money?

02:43:08.000 Ads and video games?

02:43:09.000 And so why would the advertisers pay more to the game than just paying for the ad?

02:43:13.000 Microtransactions.

02:43:14.000 Well, I mean, I don't know why the advertisers would pay, but I mean, look, social media companies already give you the situation, you know, stuff for free.

02:43:23.000 People who watch don't get paid.

02:43:25.000 The people who make the content to watch get paid.

02:43:27.000 So why would I on YouTube be like, I'm going to pay my viewers?

02:43:32.000 Well, you wouldn't on YouTube, but the idea that you could, I mean, people play video games on Twitch and they get paid for that from Twitch.

02:43:39.000 I mean, if you had 10 trillions.

02:43:40.000 He's talking about regular people everywhere.

02:43:42.000 If you had 10 trillion.

02:43:43.000 There is no market that makes sense where you pay people to do a thing without having them pay back.

02:43:48.000 That makes no sense.

02:43:49.000 Pay people to get in.

02:43:50.000 How would the video game make money milk and then the cow is going to cost them extra later?

02:43:55.000 You know, you get them.

02:43:58.000 Do you want to add anything or genuinely?

02:44:00.000 Do you understand?

02:44:01.000 They want you to get a little, they want it in your mind.

02:44:03.000 Where does the money come from?

02:44:06.000 I already said it, microtransactions.

02:44:08.000 That's one answer.

02:44:08.000 So they're paying people to play the game and that money they pay just goes right back to the pockets of the microtransactions.

02:44:12.000 No, no.

02:44:13.000 I think relevance is a lot of times more important than money, especially for these companies that have a trillion games and they own all the data.

02:44:19.000 And money comes from somewhere.

02:44:20.000 See, this is like fabricated by a computer pushing a button.

02:44:23.000 No, I have to make money to pay you.

02:44:25.000 Where does that money come from?

02:44:26.000 It's advertisers and sponsors who ask me to say words for them.

02:44:29.000 That's like saying milk comes from the grocery store's delivery guy.

02:44:32.000 No, it doesn't.

02:44:33.000 My company doesn't manufacture money at a bank.

02:44:35.000 The money is manufactured.

02:44:36.000 My money comes from sponsors who give me the money to say things.

02:44:40.000 Where do they get money?

02:44:40.000 And then I have to give that money to other people.

02:44:42.000 If I was giving that money to the viewers, I'd have zero DOS.

02:44:44.000 I'd have negative money.

02:44:45.000 Yeah, but you're not BlackRock that doesn't need money right now.

02:44:49.000 They want relevance.

02:44:51.000 Ian, money is an infinite and we don't live in communism.

02:44:53.000 Money is, I mean, we're at 39 trillion.

02:44:56.000 They said 36 on the ad this morning or earlier in the show.

02:44:59.000 There's 39 trillion.

02:45:00.000 I don't know, dude.

02:45:01.000 I think money's cheap when you're rich and relevance is more important.

02:45:06.000 That doesn't, well, I mean, that doesn't mean that you're going to just like give money away for free or for no reason.

02:45:10.000 But no, it's to get them to look at your product.

02:45:13.000 Yeah, I don't know.

02:45:14.000 Do you have anything you want to shout out, bud?

02:45:17.000 Yeah.

02:45:18.000 So I just, last word here.

02:45:20.000 I don't think, I don't know the future with AI completely, but I just think it's primarily a bubble and there's going to be a correction here soon.

02:45:27.000 Park Salad, I'd like to shout out my beautiful wife who's about to give us our fourth child here very soon. 1.00

02:45:35.000 So awesome on that.

02:45:37.000 And Phil, got a quick question for you.

02:45:41.000 If, see, professionally, I build very fancy firearms.

02:45:44.000 If we were to get in touch after the show, would you entertain the idea of trading me one of my rifles for something sign of all that remains to give my wife for an amazing anniversary present?

02:45:58.000 I mean, I would entertain the idea.

02:46:01.000 I'm not really sure that I have anything that's any all that remains paraphernalia that's actually worth it.

02:46:06.000 Am I aware if it's legal or not to conduct a firearm exchange over a show?

02:46:10.000 So we're going to go and say that's not happening.

02:46:12.000 Okay.

02:46:12.000 Yeah.

02:46:13.000 So I'm fully licensed to do all that.

02:46:15.000 It would be a transaction.

02:46:18.000 But yeah, just I don't want to have to answer on the show either or anything.

02:46:22.000 But yeah.

02:46:23.000 I don't think it's.

02:46:24.000 I'll send a message to somebody and see if there's anything worthwhile.

02:46:29.000 Thanks for calling in, brother.

02:46:30.000 Well, thank you guys very much.

02:46:30.000 Take care, bud.

02:46:32.000 See you today, man.

02:46:34.000 All right.

02:46:34.000 And last but not least, we've got Stewage.

02:46:39.000 Stewage?

02:46:39.000 Is that what it is?

02:46:40.000 Stewie G?

02:46:41.000 Oh, Stewie.

02:46:41.000 Stewage G, yeah.

02:46:42.000 Stewie G.

02:46:43.000 I like Stewage.

02:46:45.000 Okay.

02:46:46.000 Hello, Stewage. 0.63

02:46:48.000 My question is, or statement, first of all, is Tim, that every time that you've told us that something's heavily circulating, for me personally, it's my first time hearing about it.

02:47:03.000 First, it was all the crap with Candace, and now it's the Kirk posting.

02:47:08.000 I'm trying to understand what you're saying. 0.97

02:47:11.000 Well, I'm saying that, you know, we know Iran's strength for them is cyber attacks, cyber-based. 1.00

02:47:21.000 And who's to say they're not changing the algorithms and causing certain bad faith actors like Candace to prop them up and then be moralized, right?

02:47:32.000 And the people who are paying about the news.

02:47:35.000 That is actually being reported today that China has a network dumping money to pop that stuff up.

02:47:44.000 Okay, because I think you're absolutely right that young men have checked out. 0.69

02:47:49.000 That's what I find myself largely doing.

02:47:51.000 And quite frankly, I don't think that there's the numbers out there to organically circulate anything.

02:47:59.000 There's women, and that's it. 1.00

02:48:01.000 Well, women in large groups, man, the way they can circulate information. 1.00

02:48:06.000 I don't know if you guys have a group of women that want to talk about information, but Candace Owens. 1.00

02:48:10.000 Candace, does she like to do that too?

02:48:12.000 I mean, most of our audience are women. 1.00

02:48:16.000 Yeah, gossip.

02:48:17.000 That's because when the men would go out and hunt, they'd stay back at the tribe and talk about who the psycho men were, and they want to make sure they all knew so that they could avoid that guy or make sure he dies in his sleep or something.

02:48:26.000 I'm just mesmerized by your glasses.

02:48:28.000 Are you about to play the guitar?

02:48:30.000 Are you about to play the guitar?

02:48:31.000 I will, but it's going late.

02:48:32.000 I don't think we've got to go.

02:48:33.000 I'm like, why'd you put your glasses on?

02:48:35.000 Mix it up.

02:48:36.000 Oh, I love it.

02:48:37.000 Oh, great.

02:48:37.000 Yeah.

02:48:38.000 I like the steampunk.

02:48:39.000 We're just hating.

02:48:40.000 Steampunk.

02:48:41.000 I didn't bring a hat because it's me squeezing my hair.

02:48:41.000 Yeah.

02:48:43.000 I wanted to let it breathe today.

02:48:45.000 What shampoo do you use?

02:48:45.000 Look at that.

02:48:46.000 That's a big thing.

02:48:48.000 It's like a little infant's shampoo for a one-year-old.

02:48:51.000 Really?

02:48:51.000 Yeah, it's like carrot and mango.

02:48:53.000 Oh.

02:48:54.000 You got anything you want to shout out?

02:48:57.000 No, just every time that a Candace gets played, I feel like I just had a stroke and need to see a doctor.

02:49:03.000 I'm with you.

02:49:06.000 All right.

02:49:06.000 Thank you.

02:49:07.000 Okay.

02:49:08.000 That was a quick one.

02:49:09.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:49:09.000 Just, you know, if it's, if it hurts to look at, you don't have to look at it.

02:49:13.000 But I know you want to fix problems when they hurt, too.

02:49:15.000 So I understand.

02:49:16.000 All right, man.

02:49:18.000 Well, thanks for calling, brother.

02:49:18.000 Right on.

02:49:19.000 You want to shout anything out?

02:49:21.000 No, thanks.

02:49:22.000 All right.

02:49:22.000 See you, man.

02:49:23.000 See you, dude.

02:49:23.000 Have a good one.

02:49:25.000 Yup.

02:49:25.000 Young men right now are getting bored and nothing's moving.

02:49:29.000 It feels like things aren't getting done.

02:49:30.000 We need some white pills.

02:49:31.000 And that's why I think a lot of people are pivoting to Kirk posting in Israel because it's female-coded and women are attached to this stuff.

02:49:38.000 I don't know about you guys.

02:49:39.000 When I was a little kid, I had to make my own entertainment.

02:49:41.000 I had to sit in a room alone with blocks or a book.

02:49:44.000 Well, now this is figured out.

02:49:45.000 Well, now there's the internet and people are playing on people's emotions and dead babies.

02:49:51.000 That's what this is all about.

02:49:52.000 Kids are used to being entertained now.

02:49:54.000 They didn't have to entertain themselves.

02:49:55.000 We're not talking about kids.

02:49:56.000 We're talking about 23-year-old guys.

02:49:58.000 We're talking about men who are trying to figure out the world and find their place in it.

02:50:00.000 And they were 10 in 2010.

02:50:03.000 All right.

02:50:04.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:50:05.000 It's been fun.

02:50:06.000 We're back tomorrow, of course.

02:50:07.000 It's going to be a blast.

02:50:08.000 Thank you guys so much for hanging out.
