Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Democrat Boss ATTACKS STAFF, DNC Puts Up HQ For DESPERATE Loan | Timcast IRL

00:02:29.000 The DNC boss, Ken Martin, threw a phone at an aide's desk, triggering an HR complaint.

00:02:36.000 Actually, it sounds like he was in rage attacking this staff.

00:02:41.000 I don't know, not like maybe trying to hurt the person, but whipping a phone at their desk could seriously hurt them.

00:02:48.000 Well, here's the thing the DNC has put up their headquarters as collateral for a loan because they are desperate and broke.

00:02:57.000 At a time when the Republicans have Hundreds of millions of dollars as the Republicans, not to mention their super PACs and political organizations in the periphery, put them at near $1 billion cash.

00:03:09.000 It's a pretty wild day.

00:03:10.000 We're going to talk about that.

00:03:12.000 And then Zorhan Mamdani has just, man, wow.

00:03:15.000 The dude's really cranking up the dial to 11.

00:03:17.000 He published a list, he doxed all of the property owners and entities that own property that he says will be subject to his Piedatier tax.

00:03:28.000 However, Some people have come out saying, yo, that's a private residence.

00:03:32.000 That's not a secondary home.

00:03:33.000 Dude lives there.

00:03:35.000 In other words, Mandani is being accused of putting out a target list of wealthy individuals who live in the city.

00:03:42.000 At the same time, he's announced they will be opening five grocery stores where they will put a 30% discount on all prices for all goods for the entire month.

00:03:56.000 Okay, we're going to get into that in great detail, but I'm just going to tell you what that does.

00:04:00.000 Destroys neighboring grocery stores because they can't compete with 30% lower prices.

00:04:05.000 Results in shortages at the existing government grocery stores because now there's no other grocery stores that exist.

00:04:11.000 And then eventually, with no groceries in the government grocery stores, you get food deserts.

00:04:17.000 Mayor Mamdani is intentionally destroying the city.

00:04:20.000 There's no other argument.

00:04:21.000 I mean, we have seen in recent history with Venezuela, some 15 years ago, they did the exact same thing.

00:04:28.000 We saw all of this happen. 0.91

00:04:30.000 So, seems like it's on purpose.

00:04:32.000 And then, my friends, the secret Biden tapes are out.

00:04:35.000 70 plus hours, they're saying, of recordings of Joe Biden giving.

00:04:40.000 He's talking to his ghostwriter.

00:04:42.000 Apparently, these are the records that they were trying to delete or hide or something like that.

00:04:46.000 We'll break it down.

00:04:47.000 But this story just broke, and we've not had a chance to actually go through any of the recordings.

00:04:51.000 So we'll be talking about that and a whole lot more.

00:06:33.000 The best part was several people came up to me and said the Discord has been so helpful in their lives.

00:06:38.000 It helped bring community to their lives.

00:06:41.000 Some of them were saying, you know, they didn't really hang out with anybody, they didn't have any neighbors.

00:06:44.000 And now they hang out in this Discord server with tens of thousands of people.

00:06:47.000 They made friends, they play games online, they've had meetups.

00:06:51.000 It's really fantastic to hear.

00:06:52.000 But most importantly, aside from building community, you as members make what we do possible.

00:07:13.000 Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more, we got Will Fry.

00:07:15.000 Thanks for having me, Tim.

00:07:17.000 Who are you?

00:07:17.000 Yeah, so I run a company called American Operator.

00:07:17.000 What do you do?

00:07:20.000 We're tackling the succession crisis in this country.

00:07:22.000 So, we have millions of small businesses owned by folks nearing retirement.

00:07:26.000 Their kids don't want to take over the business.

00:07:27.000 We come in, buy the business, partner with a local operator, and ultimately turn them into the majority owner.

00:07:33.000 And so, we want a world where the American dream is still achievable and all these businesses aren't owned by private equity.

00:07:37.000 That would be fantastic.

00:07:38.000 All right, it should be interesting because we got a lot to talk about, especially with the population crisis.

00:07:42.000 So, we talk about it quite a bit, but it'll be interesting with you here.

00:07:44.000 Thanks for coming.

00:07:45.000 We also got the boys hanging out.

00:07:47.000 What's going on, guys?

00:07:48.000 It's been, well, it hasn't been that long.

00:07:49.000 I think we were here on Thursday last week.

00:07:51.000 It's Brett, normally doing PCC Monday through Friday at 3 p.m. Eastern, but there's a lot to get into today.

00:07:51.000 What's going on?

00:07:57.000 Happy to be here.

00:07:57.000 What's up, everybody?

00:07:59.000 I sing for All That Remains and I hang out here a lot.

00:07:59.000 I'm Phil.

00:08:02.000 What's up, Carter?

00:08:03.000 I do not sing for All That Remains, but I'm pumped to get into this right now.

00:08:06.000 Welcome back, Brett.

00:08:08.000 Let's get into the news.

00:08:08.000 It's good to have you.

00:08:09.000 Here's a story from the New York Post.

00:08:11.000 Raging DNC boss Ken Martin threw phone at aide's desk as committee forced to put up headquarters as loan collateral.

00:08:21.000 This is a double whammy of a story today.

00:08:23.000 Dude apparently lost his mind and threw his phone at the desk of an aide in a fit of rage.

00:08:28.000 It resulted in an HR complaint.

00:08:30.000 Now, I would say that is an, like, would you guys agree?

00:08:35.000 I know the media tries to put their headlines lightly, but I would call it attacking a staffer.

00:08:40.000 I mean, if he hit him, that could be considered assault.

00:08:43.000 I don't think you need to, like, you could attack somebody.

00:08:46.000 Like, if someone shot at you, would you say they're attacking you?

00:08:49.000 Well, yes.

00:08:50.000 But they don't hit you.

00:08:51.000 Like, I'm saying if this dude threw his phone at the aide and it hit their desk, was he trying to hit?

00:08:57.000 Well, is that, like, the question of intentionality?

00:08:59.000 Was he just throwing it wild and just happened to hit near the aide?

00:09:02.000 Or would the aide say something that annoyed him?

00:09:04.000 He said, you know what?

00:09:05.000 F you specifically and threw it.

00:09:06.000 It would be really funny if the actual story was that it was an underhanded toss to another staffer.

00:09:11.000 He's like, hey, you need my phone.

00:09:12.000 He's like, hey, I need your phone.

00:09:13.000 He's like, oh, here, catch.

00:09:14.000 And he, He does an underhanded toss and it bounces on the desk.

00:09:16.000 But because we know Democrats are so dainty and terrified of everything, the person sitting on the desk would start screaming.

00:09:22.000 He's throwing his food at me.

00:09:24.000 If the person that his aide wasn't his aide, they might think to file an assault charge.

00:09:30.000 But considering that they're two peas in a pot, I don't think that.

00:09:35.000 But it's still dark, though.

00:09:37.000 Someone had to tell.

00:09:39.000 Well, no, because I think what actually happened is dude went ballistic and whipped his phone.

00:09:43.000 Yeah.

00:09:44.000 I don't think for a second it was just like a playful thing.

00:09:45.000 I think he was freaking out and whipped it.

00:09:47.000 Yo.

00:09:49.000 The second part of this story is all just dropping today.

00:09:52.000 Is that they had apparently, and this was not known, but I believe it was last year or several months ago, listed their building, the equity in their building, as collateral for a loan of $15 million because they're broke.

00:10:02.000 The Democratic Party's broke.

00:10:03.000 You know, my favorite thing about this is, dude responds apparently and says, This is not at all out of the ordinary.

00:10:12.000 We've taken out loans in 2019, 2018, and 2014 as well.

00:10:15.000 And it's like, wow, the Democratic Party's been in that bad of shape for this long?

00:10:19.000 I mean, I imagine the loan is because they believe they can make the money back through fundraising, but they need to pay the payroll and stuff.

00:10:28.000 I don't believe that for a second because they've been bleeding money and donors.

00:10:33.000 The party is currently fighting itself and they're $3 million in debt.

00:10:38.000 They don't have donors right now.

00:10:39.000 They don't think they can make the money back.

00:10:40.000 The reason I say that is I'm thinking about the way that businesses take loans to make payroll and stuff like that.

00:10:47.000 They know that they're waiting on money coming in or whatever.

00:10:49.000 Look, I don't know the inside workings of the DNC.

00:10:52.000 I'm just thinking of what.

00:10:53.000 No, I understand that point.

00:10:55.000 And I would say, I don't believe for a second that anyone at the DNC thinks they're going to make this money back.

00:11:01.000 You just saw that they were calling vendors and asking to delay payment until after the reelection.

00:11:01.000 You don't think.

00:11:07.000 But I think the irony when you're rattling off the headlines, this is the same party that's also advocating for 30% discounts on groceries.

00:11:14.000 And it's like you can't even manage your own party.

00:11:16.000 Well, but here's the thing the party's fighting itself.

00:11:18.000 Half the people in the Democrats don't like Mom Dhani and the DSA.

00:11:22.000 So, I think the real issue is they ain't going to pay this money back.

00:11:25.000 Who's going to donate to the Democrats when half the Democrats hate the other half?

00:11:28.000 I mean, you don't think that there's going to be donations that come in once 2028 comes into clear review.

00:11:33.000 We figure out who's going to be taking on who once primaries start going on, then fundraising starts going back on?

00:11:39.000 Let's just say yes, but this means right now we're 100 days from the midterms.

00:11:47.000 They have no money to run campaigns right now.

00:11:50.000 They have negative.

00:11:51.000 So, they've got like 12 million cash on hand and then like 16 or 17 million in debt.

00:11:56.000 So they're floating, right?

00:11:59.000 It's like, you know, a lot of Americans experience this, and unfortunately, many of them are voting for Democrats, but that's how they live.

00:12:05.000 You got 20 grand in credit card debt or student loans.

00:12:08.000 So you're living paycheck to paycheck, barely paying off your loans.

00:12:11.000 After the midterms, how are they going to pay back money when they're in debt?

00:12:17.000 They're going to be floating the debt amongst other vendors.

00:12:19.000 They're going to have to liquidate something, give up.

00:12:21.000 I also think right now is when they're most flush, ramping up to a reelection.

00:12:26.000 Oh, I mean, no, no, no.

00:12:27.000 It's a midterm where they're the opposition.

00:12:29.000 They should have a billion dollars.

00:12:30.000 But here's the crazy thing historically, their polling should be double digits.

00:12:30.000 Yeah.

00:12:35.000 It's four, four points.

00:12:36.000 They're polling four points in the positive, above water.

00:12:41.000 It needs to be around 10 to 15 if they want to take the margins they need to win.

00:12:46.000 So now you got CNN's living meme, Harry Enton.

00:12:48.000 And I always clarify this it's not an insult.

00:12:50.000 It's because he's so shocked all the time about the polling data of how bad Democrats are that it's just every day there's a new video of him going, oh, my.

00:12:59.000 How are Democrats doing so bad?

00:13:00.000 And it's like every day he's just, I'm shocked.

00:13:04.000 And somehow, somehow, the prediction markets think Democrats are going to take Congress.

00:13:09.000 Well, I mean, it's historic trends.

00:13:10.000 I think the, yeah, that's the reason, is because of the trend, right?

00:13:13.000 Historically, this is generally what happens.

00:13:16.000 And the Republicans aren't popular.

00:13:18.000 There's, as much as there is a war going on in the DNC or in the Democrat Party, there's definitely a lot of people in the Republican Party that are unhappy with Trump.

00:13:26.000 They're unhappy with the war in Iran.

00:13:27.000 They're unhappy.

00:13:28.000 They passed the Save Act.

00:13:29.000 Not being able to pass the SAVE Act.

00:13:30.000 They're unhappy with the fact that they don't feel like the wages have risen to offset inflation.

00:13:38.000 So, look, there's a lot of tumult in both the Republican and Democrat Party.

00:13:43.000 I don't know that that turns into a victory for the Republicans.

00:13:48.000 I mean, I wish because, and I've said it here a boatload of times, like if your option is a Democrat or a Republican, the Republican is clearly better.

00:13:59.000 But at the same time, it's like, Look, man, there's a lot of chaos going on in both the parties because you've got a lot of different people with different agendas.

00:14:07.000 Whether either one will be able to coalesce around their respective representatives that are up, who knows?

00:14:14.000 It's an indictment on just how unpopular Democrats are right now because they should be handily winning right now with the amount of discord going on in the Republican Party and the amount of people.

00:14:25.000 You know, what did we talk about last Thursday? 0.83

00:14:26.000 We talked about the maha moms and we talked about the libertarian types who have since abandoned it. 0.97

00:14:32.000 What it felt like everybody was a one issue voter. 0.94

00:14:34.000 And when their one issue didn't get solved or didn't get taken care of, they moved on to other things.

00:14:39.000 So it really is an indictment. 1.00

00:14:40.000 I don't remember who it is recently, but basically, literally all the Democrats have to do right now is just not be stupid. 0.99

00:14:46.000 Well, bro, if the Democrats. 0.99

00:14:48.000 Just came out and said, like, we will no longer support gay communism. 0.98

00:14:53.000 Their polling would jump 20 points. 0.99

00:14:55.000 But the problem is they can't because they love gay communism. 0.94

00:14:57.000 Especially if you look at the DSA's platform, the DSA's platform is incredibly radical. 0.90

00:15:04.000 And the people that are running as DSA or that are running as Democrats from the DSA, they've been instructed by the DSA to misdirect people as to what they actually do.

00:15:14.000 I had a guy that was on X that was hooting and hollering at me because he's like, oh, it's the Nordic model.

00:15:20.000 DSA wants the Nordic model.

00:15:21.000 I'm like, bro.

00:15:22.000 They do not want the Nordic. 0.97

00:15:23.000 Actually, I didn't even say that. 0.98

00:15:24.000 They have private health insurance.

00:15:26.000 Yeah, I just told Grok.

00:15:28.000 He also has an opinion department.

00:15:29.000 They want to defund the Department of War.

00:15:31.000 Well, I mean, the DSA, there was a.

00:15:32.000 They want to get rid of prisons.

00:15:32.000 They have prisons.

00:15:33.000 Yeah, there was a woman on Fox News recently that was explaining the DSA, or she was going down a list of the DSA policies.

00:15:41.000 They want to expropriate major corporations, like all major corporations. 0.99

00:15:46.000 They want to close prisons.

00:15:47.000 They want to abolish the presidency.

00:15:48.000 They want to abolish the presidency.

00:15:50.000 And you can't abolish the Senate.

00:15:53.000 Like, that is the one clause.

00:15:53.000 Okay?

00:15:55.000 There is a clause in Article 5 that says you cannot get rid of the Senate.

00:16:00.000 It's the only thing that an amendment can't do.

00:16:02.000 You can get rid of the Senate.

00:16:03.000 Well, you have to get rid of the whole Constitution.

00:16:04.000 Yes.

00:16:05.000 And they want to do that as well.

00:16:05.000 And I understand that.

00:16:07.000 They say that explicitly.

00:16:07.000 Yes.

00:16:09.000 So here's my conspiracy theory is like at this point, these guys got to be like secret Republicans.

00:16:14.000 They can't even get into office.

00:16:15.000 It's like this lady who's on TV on Fox News, and I think it was like Martha McCallum was asking her questions about her, like just literally reading the DSA website.

00:16:23.000 She's like, you want to abolish the president and the Senate?

00:16:25.000 And she's like, yes, it's a long term plan.

00:16:27.000 It's like, you want to get rid of prisons?

00:16:28.000 Yes.

00:16:29.000 You want to get rid of the Department of Defense?

00:16:31.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:16:32.000 Or the Department of, what do you say, the Pentagon?

00:16:35.000 And then it's, I can only assume, I mean, come on, this is a caricature of what the left is, right? 0.58

00:16:41.000 Like, if this woman is, it doesn't matter if this woman is actually Republican or is actually serious, it's the same thing. 0.55

00:16:48.000 If you go on TV as a representative of Democrats and say something psychotic, the Democrats lose points.

00:16:54.000 You can't take an oath.

00:16:57.000 To support and defend the Constitution, and then after telling everybody that you're going to literally rip up the Constitution, these people cannot be in office.

00:17:05.000 So, sure.

00:17:06.000 And the Republicans are, what's the right way to describe the Republicans?

00:17:10.000 Flacid.

00:17:11.000 Because you have this other story we're going to get to with Dr. Fauci's diary, where in January of 2020, he says outright, We know it did not come from the wet market.

00:17:21.000 And then for what?

00:17:22.000 Two years, they were like, No, no, the wet market.

00:17:25.000 When they knew that was not true.

00:17:28.000 If you can't put these people in prison, you have no country.

00:17:31.000 And I'm going to tell you this right now.

00:17:33.000 The Republicans are going to go, but Biden issued a blanket 11 year pardon.

00:17:38.000 I guess we can't do anything.

00:17:39.000 And I'm like, if you can't do anything about that, because the president issued an 11 year pardon, you're not going to have a country.

00:17:45.000 Sorry, I don't care what you think about the Constitution and plenary pardoning powers.

00:17:49.000 If your country can't stop evil, then you have succumbed to it.

00:17:53.000 First of all, yes, that should happen.

00:17:55.000 Like the president should just ignore it.

00:17:57.000 But even if they didn't, The president should be on the phone with Bukele and arrange extradition for Fauci to El Salvador because COVID hit El Salvador.

00:18:07.000 COVID hit every country in the world.

00:18:09.000 So there you go.

00:18:10.000 There's got to be plenty of countries that could do it.

00:18:12.000 Yes, they're not going to do it.

00:18:14.000 So when we see the DSA coming out and saying things like, we will destroy the Constitution, and then they win office and they have to swear an oath to it, the Republicans are like, we're not going to do anything about that.

00:18:26.000 When the Republicans could very simply in Congress be like, if you have ever stated anything against the US Constitution, you won't be sworn in.

00:18:33.000 Goodbye.

00:18:34.000 They won't do it.

00:18:34.000 Should be.

00:18:35.000 They won't do it.

00:18:36.000 I'd do it.

00:18:36.000 They fundraise off people like that anyway.

00:18:38.000 Someone, you know, on January 3rd, when they're doing the new Congress, Nominate me for Speaker of the House, and I will just rampage through that place.

00:18:48.000 Because you don't have to be in Congress to be elected to be Speaker.

00:18:51.000 I will go nuts.

00:18:53.000 I will not swear in half of these Democrats. 0.67

00:18:55.000 I'll be like, I'm going to have people go through their social media.

00:18:59.000 And if at any point they're like, the Constitution is bad, I'll be like, well, you can't be sworn in.

00:19:02.000 Can't swear on something you think is bad.

00:19:03.000 So goodbye.

00:19:04.000 Yeah.

00:19:05.000 Tell your district to send somebody else.

00:19:08.000 It should be that simple.

00:19:09.000 Like, look, you can't swear to support and defend the Constitution.

00:19:13.000 You want to make all these changes to the Constitution that cannot be made.

00:19:17.000 To be fair, if somehow, by some insane stretch of the imagination, I was nominated Speaker of the House and actually got voted in, I'd imagine I'd eat polonium before they actually let me anywhere near that building.

00:19:30.000 Well, ask if you could run it from here.

00:19:32.000 He had a glass box.

00:19:34.000 My joke was like, if you ever actually got a real politician, someone who was like, I'm going to do some real things and clean this up, you'd have to put them in a five foot thick, bulletproof, earthquake proof suspended with like, It totally clear permanent Pope Mobile, permanent Pope Mobile.

00:19:50.000 Like, you have to live in a biodome, Pauli Shore style, because they will kill you.

00:19:56.000 Well, like, no, what was he in for Vendetta?

00:19:58.000 He's like, he always gives the speech on the screen, but he's never actually in the room that he was in.

00:20:02.000 Oh, right, exactly.

00:20:03.000 Chancellor, to be fair, I mean, what would really happen is if like if any real person got elected, they just accuse him of drugs or rape or something, you know, and then if he charges of some kind of felonious, yeah, your felony, you know, you happen in college.

00:20:19.000 Just like Kavanaugh happened in college.

00:20:21.000 I don't remember when.

00:20:22.000 I don't remember if I was there.

00:20:23.000 Nobody else remembers either, but it happened in college.

00:20:25.000 Or even Trump's tax stuff. 0.67

00:20:27.000 I mean, it's the same tactics Russia does. 0.56

00:20:29.000 Yeah. 0.95

00:20:30.000 I wonder who they learn from. 0.93

00:20:30.000 Crazy. 0.93

00:20:31.000 I do wonder, though, like you said, they're fantastic for Republicans.

00:20:35.000 Are the DSA candidates secret Republicans?

00:20:38.000 Maybe that sounds true now, but the newer generations are becoming more and more warm to the idea of democratic socialism, as it's phrased, and they're not thinking of it in the same way.

00:20:49.000 They're going to be okay with these ideas as things get worse.

00:20:52.000 Part of the reason why they're okay with socialism is because they do think, most people think when they hear socialism, they think of quote unquote the Nordic model, but that's not what the DSA wants.

00:20:52.000 For them.

00:21:03.000 I'm going to blow some minds right now.

00:21:05.000 We're going to blow some minds.

00:21:06.000 You guys ready?

00:21:07.000 We talked about this last week, but I'm going to say it again.

00:21:07.000 Yes.

00:21:07.000 Do you know what?

00:21:09.000 You guys know what the average median and mean salaries of an American millionaire is?

00:21:15.000 I think you guys might know, so I'm going to ask Will.

00:21:16.000 Do you know?

00:21:18.000 How much money per year salary wise do you think the average American millionaire makes?

00:21:23.000 100,000.

00:21:24.000 It's about right.

00:21:26.000 So, the average is like 184, but of course, that accounts for people.

00:21:31.000 A millionaire counts their retirement account.

00:21:33.000 So, if someone's got like $900 million, yeah, well, they're going to skew it.

00:21:37.000 So, when you go median, it's about 165K.

00:21:40.000 Go tell some Gen Z BuzzFeed employee who's getting 150K a year that he has a salary comparable to the average millionaire.

00:21:40.000 Sure.

00:21:47.000 He'll be like, what?

00:21:49.000 In their minds, they think a millionaire is making a million bucks a year.

00:21:52.000 That's not true.

00:21:53.000 The issue is they're communists.

00:21:55.000 Who don't know how to save and financially plan, so they blame everybody else. 0.99

00:21:59.000 And when these people say tax the rich, but they're making 90 to 100K a year and their salaries are close or comparable to that of millionaires, what they're really saying is, I want to take from the people who are being responsible because I'm stupid. 0.92

00:22:13.000 Bob Iger's base salary was only a million dollars for running. 0.94

00:22:16.000 Right, right, but let's not play games.

00:22:17.000 I'm saying base salary is way higher.

00:22:20.000 Jeff Bezos paid himself a million bucks a year. 0.95

00:22:23.000 That's ridiculous.

00:22:24.000 The reality is, the average, there's about 23 million millionaires in the United States. 0.69

00:22:29.000 The average salary, like the normal median salary, is about $165,000.

00:22:33.000 And it's because in their late 20s, they're getting like mid to high five figures and they start saving.

00:22:40.000 Then they're in their mid 30s and they buy their first property.

00:22:42.000 By the time they're in their early 40s, they've got a property, they've got some stocks, and they have passive income on the side.

00:22:47.000 So one of the interesting things I read is that actually a large portion of millionaires make about $80,000 to $90,000 a year, but they've been working for 20 years, saving up their disposable income and building assets, which have grown in value.

00:22:59.000 Giving them a net worth around a million to three million dollars.

00:23:02.000 Now, go tell one of these New Yorker people who's making 120 to 150 a year that with proper financial planning, they too will be a millionaire and they're not going to believe you and they're going to demand that someone go and steal the money from everybody else.

00:23:14.000 I think part of the issue also is we're just seeing the results of what happened at colleges and it's just playing out now where like the skew of the amount of teachers who are liberal versus conservative went from like 2.3 in the 80s to five nowadays.

00:23:27.000 And so they're just the Overton window of what they're getting educated about in college has shifted so much.

00:23:33.000 I think check it.

00:23:34.000 There must be something in the water.

00:23:35.000 Let's pull up this story.

00:23:37.000 Zoran Mandani has announced they will be opening five city run, tax funded grocery stores with 30% below retail.

00:23:45.000 I'm going to tell you why that's a problem because the margins for these grocery stores are about 2% to 3% as it is.

00:23:51.000 So you drop prices by 30%, you will put every grocery store around this out of business.

00:23:57.000 Let me play this clip and then talk to you about why I think Zoran Mandani is intentionally trying to burn down New York City.

00:24:03.000 Here's how it will work.

00:24:05.000 Once a month, our five city run grocery stores will set prices for this core set of goods at 30% below typical retail prices.

00:24:13.000 No exceptions, no gimmicks.

00:24:15.000 The savings will last for the entire month.

00:24:18.000 That means no weekly fluctuations, nor sticker shock at the checkout line.

00:24:22.000 This already was tried in numerous countries, namely Venezuela, and we saw exactly what everyone's been warning will happen happen.

00:24:29.000 And it is because we watched it happen over and over and over again, we know what will happen.

00:24:33.000 Local bodegas, small grocery stores, and small grocery stores, Will not be able to compete with core goods that are below, they're 30% below retail.

00:24:45.000 When given the choice, somebody might say, you know what, I'm gonna go to a grocery store and I'm gonna grab some milk, bread, and eggs.

00:24:49.000 Hey, you know what?

00:24:50.000 I might as well grab a roast beef and cheddar while I'm at the bodega and pick up some candy bars.

00:24:56.000 Excess selling disposable income.

00:24:58.000 Now they're gonna say, well, look, I gotta get milk, bread, and eggs, but it's a dollar here, it's 70 cents there.

00:25:03.000 I'm gonna go to the cheapo place.

00:25:04.000 Now they're buying less.

00:25:06.000 Economic activity depressed.

00:25:07.000 The bodegas can't compete.

00:25:09.000 And even if they lose, 5% of their business, they go out of business.

00:25:13.000 What's going to happen is in the surrounding areas, people are going to choose to go to the government location instead.

00:25:18.000 It's going to cause the bodegas each to lose a small percentage, but enough for them to go under.

00:25:23.000 The government run grocery store will then run out of goods and not be able to restock fast enough.

00:25:28.000 You will then get massive lines out the door with shortages in the only grocery store within five miles.

00:25:35.000 And it's going to happen in five different areas, creating food deserts, which again, I'm not making up.

00:25:40.000 It's been tracked historically, and economists have warned about it over and over again.

00:25:43.000 Now, Zoran Mandani knows this.

00:25:45.000 There is no reality in the entirety of the multiverse where Zoran Mandani doesn't know this because anyone with Google thinking, hey, what would happen if I opened a grocery store and did this?

00:25:57.000 Enter.

00:25:57.000 It goes warning, warning, warning, warning like crazy.

00:26:00.000 So it has to be on purpose.

00:26:02.000 And you know what?

00:26:03.000 He also published the addresses of wealthy individuals, which we'll get to in a second.

00:26:08.000 He's basically saying, All money get out.

00:26:11.000 We're going to flatten the city.

00:26:13.000 And I'm going to tell you what I think Zoramandani's real plan is.

00:26:15.000 I think he's like the bad guys in Robocop.

00:26:18.000 You're going to destroy the city, skyscrapers, large buildings all become worthless.

00:26:25.000 You buy them up for pennies on the dollar.

00:26:27.000 10 years later, there's a recovery.

00:26:29.000 Now you're a billionaire.

00:26:30.000 That's what I think he's actually doing.

00:26:32.000 Because when you look at everything he's doing with targeting the wealthy properties, he's destroying luxury properties, destroying impoverished neighborhoods, driving out the wealth and the industry and the business owners.

00:26:43.000 All these big companies announcing they're leaving, all the wealthy individuals fleeing to Palm Beach.

00:26:48.000 And what happens?

00:26:50.000 Property valves will implode, and then the city can go.

00:26:52.000 Because this is what de Blasio said they were going to do during COVID buy up skyscrapers for pennies and the dollars, convert it into corporate or, I'm sorry, into government housing.

00:27:00.000 Look, they're making a Robocop TV series over at Hannah.

00:27:03.000 Amazon.

00:27:03.000 So they could get Zoran Mundani to be the bad guy in that one.

00:27:06.000 That's perfect.

00:27:07.000 But the funny thing is, you know what I love?

00:27:09.000 I was watching with this Fauci news that has come out, they're replaying all this crazy stuff from the COVID era and the pharmaceutical companies.

00:27:16.000 And it's just funny, I'm watching Donald Trump do this rally in Michigan, and he's like, the Democrats are owned by the insurance companies.

00:27:22.000 That's why they do it.

00:27:23.000 They won't let you buy your products.

00:27:25.000 And it's really funny because it's true.

00:27:26.000 It's a good impression.

00:27:27.000 That's a jokey impression.

00:27:28.000 But like, Democrats are basically like, I don't want to be able to price my own healthcare and negotiate with my doctor on pricing.

00:27:36.000 I want insurance companies to do it.

00:27:38.000 And you're like, but I thought you didn't like the pharmaceuticals and the insurance companies.

00:27:42.000 No, the Democrats keep voting in favor of this.

00:27:44.000 It's the weirdest thing that Democrats vote in favor of insurance company pricing, but also while complaining that insurance companies are ruining healthcare.

00:27:51.000 Wait, what?

00:27:52.000 Like, is that different than their proposed single payer model?

00:27:55.000 Like, what are you talking about?

00:27:56.000 Like, I don't remember this discussion at all.

00:27:58.000 When the Republicans come out on the stage and say healthcare should be private, meaning you should be able to negotiate with your doctor pricing, you should be able to list prices out.

00:28:09.000 They go, oh, you're far right.

00:28:12.000 This is insane.

00:28:13.000 This is far right.

00:28:14.000 We've got to make it so the government controls and regulates.

00:28:14.000 No, no, no.

00:28:17.000 And then you end up with this insurance companies giggling and laughing because they lobby the Democrats and keep the system in place.

00:28:23.000 Now, don't get me wrong.

00:28:24.000 Sure, Democrats complain about it.

00:28:25.000 And they're like, the government should just control all of it.

00:28:28.000 That's not much different.

00:28:30.000 They're arguing for a command economy and they're getting it while complaining about it.

00:28:34.000 And they're destroying the American dream.

00:28:35.000 I mean, first they attack the business owners who are actively trying to build it for themselves.

00:28:39.000 And then they go after the folks who have achieved it and have these homes.

00:28:42.000 Yeah, I mean, look to people that are on the far left, people like Zorhan Mamdani, the American dream is either a lie or it's aligned with white supremacy, aligned with oppressor versus oppressed narrative.

00:28:57.000 They don't believe that you can be successful without hurting someone else.

00:29:02.000 So it's just, it's literally the most caustic and motivated by envy ideology that you can come up with.

00:29:12.000 Literally.

00:29:13.000 That's why you see all these attempts.

00:29:16.000 To try to take from people that have done things.

00:29:18.000 I mean, the guy's putting people's actual home addresses online.

00:29:23.000 Like, he doesn't know what's going to happen, you know?

00:29:27.000 It's just straight up, you know, envy and hatred for people who do things. 0.98

00:29:31.000 I think maybe at the lower levels, but Mamdani's not a stupid guy. 0.99

00:29:36.000 It's coordinated, it's calculated. 0.98

00:29:37.000 He's playing chess.

00:29:39.000 I think that Mamdani might be one of the people that believes that every narrative that's positive about the US and things like that believes it's all a CIA.

00:29:49.000 Maybe.

00:29:49.000 But what I'm saying is, there's no way he's going, wow, a government run grocery store will help people.

00:29:55.000 No, he's sitting there back with his advisors being like, okay, so what kind of depression are we looking at?

00:30:00.000 And they're like, oh, I mean, we might see like 20% of the city flee.

00:30:04.000 This is going to result in property value collapse.

00:30:06.000 And then he's going, okay, and then do we have the backers, the underwriters, so that we can buy up these properties?

00:30:11.000 And they're like, we're lining them now as we speak.

00:30:12.000 He knows exactly what he's doing.

00:30:14.000 It is really, really, let me tell you guys something really funny.

00:30:18.000 You guys ever, you go on Instagram, you ever just scroll mindlessly on Instagram sometimes?

00:30:22.000 Have you seen these videos where people are like, you can only choose two?

00:30:26.000 And then it's like, it's them standing there, their arms crossed, or they're pointing up.

00:30:30.000 And it's a list of things.

00:30:31.000 And it'll be like $10 million right now.

00:30:34.000 Number two, you never have to sleep again.

00:30:35.000 Have you guys ever seen these things?

00:30:37.000 Yeah.

00:30:38.000 There's a whole bunch of them where it's like, you can have $10 million right now.

00:30:41.000 You can have $1,000 an hour for the rest of your life.

00:30:44.000 You never have to go to work again, which is like, what does that even mean?

00:30:47.000 And then I saw one where it's like 100 rental properties right now.

00:30:51.000 And I busted out laughing when I saw that.

00:30:53.000 I saw like four or five times.

00:30:55.000 From like these Gen Z influencer accounts being like, you can only choose three as if they're all good.

00:31:00.000 And it's like, if I could have $1,000 per day, $24,000 per day, I'll take that one.

00:31:05.000 If you woke up and you had responsibility on 100 rental properties, you would lose your mind.

00:31:13.000 You would panic.

00:31:15.000 This 100 rental properties means you're going to have, I'd estimate, 75 employees around there.

00:31:21.000 You're going to be dealing with law, and listen, as the owner, The governments can come after you on every violation.

00:31:28.000 Like owning a corporation that manages 100 rental properties is no small feat.

00:31:32.000 You can just wake up and have.

00:31:33.000 But these socialist types, these people, they don't understand that.

00:31:37.000 Like, it's like when you saw that clip the other day from Bobby Lee.

00:31:41.000 I did a segment about it on Friday where he's like, What do you need a trillion dollars for?

00:31:46.000 If I had a trillion dollars, I'd burn.

00:31:47.000 I'd do something really good and then get rid of it and keep a billion.

00:31:50.000 And the other guy was like, I'd build a bunch of desalinization plants.

00:31:53.000 It's desalination, I know, but he calls it desalinization.

00:31:56.000 And then I'm like, Desalination plants destroy the ocean life on the bottom floor, causing this domino effect that kills off and creates dead zones.

00:32:05.000 That's one of the reasons we don't build them.

00:32:07.000 And Elon Musk literally doesn't have a trillion dollars. 1.00

00:32:10.000 But these people are all as dumb as a box of rocks. 1.00

00:32:12.000 They don't get this. 1.00

00:32:14.000 My point, Mom Dhani is not at that level.

00:32:17.000 Mom Dhani knows full well he's dealt with a large campaign to run for mayor.

00:32:22.000 He's dealt with these finances, these numbers.

00:32:24.000 He knows exactly what's going on.

00:32:26.000 When you say, hey, if we put a 30% reduced grocery store in this area, what's going to happen?

00:32:31.000 It's a black hole.

00:32:32.000 He knows this.

00:32:35.000 Yeah, I mean, I'm not, I don't know.

00:32:38.000 There's part of me that thinks he's a true believer in the power of socialism.

00:32:42.000 How is it possible that he was able to rally campaign financing, deal with banking and tax law in the FEC?

00:32:48.000 He was a failed rapper before he was a lawyer.

00:32:51.000 How is it possible that he's able to deal with FEC law, legal divisions, and then not know these things?

00:32:56.000 That's not possible.

00:32:57.000 I'm sorry.

00:32:57.000 It's just not possible.

00:32:58.000 At the very least, he has advisors who have told him the fallout of what would happen, even if he doesn't necessarily say that.

00:33:04.000 He's a communist.

00:33:05.000 He literally doesn't do anything.

00:33:06.000 At all, and just sits there, and Soros is behind him, running all the paperwork.

00:33:11.000 But again, the reason I bring up the rental properties thing is because the moment you actually try dealing with the banks and lenders to set up a rental property, and then you sign up for Airbnb and do all this, you go, How the would I do 100 of these?

00:33:27.000 That's not possible.

00:33:29.000 Cleaning, turnover, bro.

00:33:31.000 Reverse.

00:33:32.000 And then you have people show up and trash the place.

00:33:32.000 Oh, man.

00:33:35.000 Now multiply it by 100, and you're like, I'm going to need a corporation for this.

00:33:38.000 Before I.

00:33:39.000 I can't be the only person running this company.

00:33:42.000 You are not going to have a single member entity at that level.

00:33:46.000 Mamdani could not get to this level without understanding these mechanisms.

00:33:50.000 Before I worked here, I worked for an apartment maintenance company, like a company that worked for an apartment.

00:33:55.000 We ran an apartment, like four apartments in one area, right?

00:33:59.000 And I did the general maintenance there.

00:34:00.000 And this was during COVID.

00:34:02.000 So people weren't paying their rent.

00:34:03.000 Stuff was getting absolutely trash in businesses.

00:34:07.000 And the company was losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on turnovers that were even worse than normal because people were in their apartments more than normal.

00:34:15.000 And they were spending all their money on TVs and not actually paying their rent.

00:34:19.000 I had a rental property once.

00:34:19.000 It was awful.

00:34:22.000 I have a rental management company handling it.

00:34:24.000 My phone rings and I answer it.

00:34:26.000 It's a tenant calling me directly.

00:34:27.000 They found my phone number.

00:34:29.000 Fridge is broken.

00:34:30.000 And I said, You got to talk to the rental management company because I mean, I'm just like, I own the property.

00:34:34.000 And they were like, Okay, well, we're withholding rent until the fridge is fixed.

00:34:37.000 I mean, like, I don't want to leave you hanging.

00:34:37.000 Okay, I guess.

00:34:39.000 Rental management company says they broke the fridge.

00:34:42.000 And I said, Well, how does this work?

00:34:44.000 I'm like, You got to pay it.

00:34:46.000 And then I said, Okay, so pay it.

00:34:48.000 And they're like, Okay, so your remittance for this month will be negative $300.

00:34:51.000 And then, like, don't worry.

00:34:53.000 What'll happen is once.

00:34:55.000 The rent comes upwards.

00:34:57.000 We'll apply future rent towards the negative balance.

00:35:00.000 We were negative balance like three, four months.

00:35:02.000 Like, stove broke.

00:35:03.000 It's like, what's happening?

00:35:04.000 And they're like, oh, the tenants broke the stove.

00:35:06.000 Okay, what does that mean?

00:35:07.000 Means you got to fix it.

00:35:08.000 And I'm like, but they broke it.

00:35:09.000 It's like, doesn't matter.

00:35:10.000 That's not the way rental works.

00:35:12.000 AC broke.

00:35:12.000 And I'm like, what happened?

00:35:13.000 They broke the AC.

00:35:14.000 Also, something they broke the face and now it's got to get replaced and they can't turn the AC on.

00:35:18.000 You got to fix it.

00:35:18.000 Also, something that they never take into account when they talk about how they're never going to own a home and never realize that all the things they benefit from.

00:35:25.000 From by renting rather than owning because they wouldn't actually want to, you know, to fix the stove.

00:35:29.000 They don't actually want to fix the water heater.

00:35:31.000 They don't actually want to fix the AC.

00:35:33.000 They want somebody else to do it while complaining about the cost of the rent.

00:35:36.000 Yeah, now you have these videos.

00:35:37.000 You see this video where these, it's like young black men, they're probably like 18, 19. 0.98

00:35:43.000 They Airbnb a house, destroy it, and then when the Asian man shows up because the people were like neighbors were complaining, they punch him in the face. 1.00

00:35:53.000 Awesome. 0.97

00:35:53.000 So again, let's jump to the story and talk about what Momdani does and does not know. 0.97

00:35:58.000 From the New York Post.

00:35:59.000 Mom Dhani publishes names and addresses of all NYC property owners who could be hit with a new P2T tax.

00:36:08.000 He doxed everybody who owns valuable property.

00:36:12.000 This is not who could be hit with the tax.

00:36:15.000 He just published a list, two lists actually, of all of the properties that are at a certain value.

00:36:22.000 I think this might be the tweet here.

00:36:22.000 So we've got this.

00:36:25.000 Hayden Adams tweeted this.

00:36:27.000 He's invented the Uniswap protocol.

00:36:30.000 Wow, that's actually pretty crazy.

00:36:32.000 This is the worst mass doxing I've ever seen.

00:36:35.000 Just personally searched several high end apartment buildings that include people I personally know as primary residents, not a P to tear.

00:36:43.000 Not only were their units listed, but nearly every unit in the entire building was listed.

00:36:48.000 They clearly took an incredibly expansive view of could be, could be, excuse me, and just doxed a huge percentage of all expensive apartments in New York City.

00:36:58.000 F, absolutely everyone involved in this.

00:37:00.000 This is incredibly dangerous.

00:37:03.000 The original post was the city published a list of all properties and the names of the owners that could be subject to a new P2TR tax in a very easy to search Excel sheet.

00:37:12.000 Indeed, they did.

00:37:14.000 What is the steel man argument for publishing this list?

00:37:18.000 There isn't one.

00:37:20.000 There isn't one.

00:37:21.000 There isn't one that they can give an explanation to a Democrat, like to a blue dog Democrat who just wants to know why you publish this list and doesn't want communism or the destruction. 0.55

00:37:30.000 There's no argument for doing so.

00:37:33.000 If you're going to tax these people, You have their contact information, and they're already sending them mailers letting them know they're getting it.

00:37:39.000 So there's no reason to do this.

00:37:39.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:37:41.000 There's one reason to get them killed, to get the properties targeted.

00:37:46.000 You ever hear that joke where it's like, it's actually in a bunch of movies too.

00:37:51.000 A guy rents, or a woman will rent an apartment, and then she hears a gunshot and she freaks out.

00:37:55.000 And then she looks at the windows and she's like an old black guy in the backyard pointing a gun at the ground.

00:38:00.000 And she freaks out and she looks and she's like, What's going on?

00:38:03.000 And he's like, No, no, don't be worried, man.

00:38:05.000 I just once a week fire it into the ground to keep the property values down, keep the property taxes down.

00:38:10.000 This is basically what they're doing, I guess.

00:38:12.000 So I guess the idea is to destroy the value of the property.

00:38:14.000 That's why I said he's like a Robocop villain.

00:38:16.000 Doing this will create, will do one thing.

00:38:19.000 Wealthy people are going to be like, okay, he's just published a list of my home address, accusing me of stealing from the people.

00:38:28.000 Got to get out while you still can.

00:38:30.000 And then the property values collapse.

00:38:31.000 And then I guarantee you his buddies are going to buy them up. 0.63

00:38:34.000 I like the one that shows like groups of white people jogging and says when you know your property value is about to skyrocket. 0.66

00:38:40.000 Or like a church's chicken is getting built and you're like, well, there goes the neighborhood.

00:38:45.000 I mean, look, just like you guys are saying, there's no legitimate reason to post.

00:38:45.000 Yeah.

00:38:50.000 People's home addresses.

00:38:52.000 This is, I think, the second time he's done this, too.

00:38:54.000 There was another issue where he posted someone's address that he considered too wealthy or what have you.

00:39:04.000 But this is going to have the effect of actually making people say, I can't live here anymore.

00:39:10.000 Yes, intimidation.

00:39:12.000 Can we just go back in time to when Donald Trump helped revitalize New York?

00:39:15.000 And the way he did it was he built luxury properties and convinced wealthy people that it was worth coming back.

00:39:21.000 Then they came back, and simultaneously, Giuliani was implementing broken windows policing.

00:39:26.000 So then you start going heavy after criminals.

00:39:29.000 Trump then comes in and builds luxury properties and tells people this is upper class, this is high society.

00:39:35.000 Wealthy people start moving in, paying big taxes.

00:39:38.000 The city uses big taxes for new programs, puts a stop on the crime, crushes it.

00:39:44.000 New York is back, baby. 0.86

00:39:46.000 Mamdani's doing the inverse. 0.95

00:39:48.000 They want to abolish police and prisons, they want to end stop and frisk.

00:39:52.000 They're letting criminals go.

00:39:54.000 He wants to close down Rikers, and they've been working on releasing criminals from there, and they're trying to destroy the wealthy properties.

00:40:01.000 They are literally trying to burn the city to the ground.

00:40:03.000 And I'll tell you why.

00:40:05.000 Not just the one theory, the Robocop villains, because they want to destroy the United States, and New York City is the financial center.

00:40:13.000 So what they end up doing is crushing the financial center of the West.

00:40:17.000 I think it's all intentional.

00:40:19.000 They know it's not going to help anybody, it's going to hurt everybody.

00:40:23.000 Yeah, I mean, like I said, there's no legitimate reason.

00:40:27.000 It's all about intimidation.

00:40:28.000 They have absolutely no desire to support the Constitution.

00:40:35.000 They don't believe in property rights.

00:40:36.000 They think that everybody that has any sort of asset or whatever, they gain that by taking advantage of it. 0.88

00:40:42.000 If Trump had balls, he'd have done something. 0.89

00:40:46.000 If the Republicans had balls, they'd do something. 0.97

00:40:49.000 But it feels like we're watching the bus. 0.96

00:40:53.000 Driving full speed towards the cliff, and everybody's like, Well, I don't look at me.

00:40:57.000 I'm not a bus driver.

00:40:59.000 Trump's sitting there being like, Look, my hands are tied.

00:41:01.000 I can't take control of the bus.

00:41:02.000 I'm forbidden from doing it.

00:41:04.000 You're like, Okay, look, I get it.

00:41:06.000 I'm not trying to rag on the president.

00:41:07.000 I'm just saying, at a certain point, like this Fauci story, we can't put Fauci in jail despite knowing that he committed atrocities.

00:41:14.000 I mean, these are atrocities, what he did.

00:41:17.000 The amount of people who died because of Fauci, it's now basically confirmed.

00:41:21.000 He was lying endlessly about all this, gloating in this diary that he was writing, bragging about what he was doing.

00:41:28.000 And they can't do anything about it.

00:41:29.000 Okay. 0.63

00:41:31.000 I mean, if you live in that world where an evil guy literally can do evil and say, but I've used your laws to make sure you can't stop me, and you're like, oh, Drat, he won.

00:41:40.000 It's like, okay, all right, I guess.

00:41:41.000 I mean, a guy keeping a diary in general is already pretty suspect.

00:41:45.000 We just call it a journal.

00:41:46.000 Yeah.

00:41:47.000 It's different.

00:41:47.000 He calls it a diary.

00:41:49.000 And everything from here on out is probably.

00:41:51.000 Can we just remember that time Cuomo pretended he was in quarantine when he wasn't?

00:41:55.000 And these people.

00:41:56.000 Oh, and they caught him outside jogging or something?

00:41:59.000 He was riding him.

00:41:59.000 No, he was not.

00:42:01.000 He was at a new construct, a property that he owned in Long Island.

00:42:07.000 And a guy who was riding a fat tire bike rode by and saw him and said, weren't you supposed to be in quarantine?

00:42:13.000 And then Cuomo started yelling at him, like, Who the F are you?

00:42:15.000 What are you doing?

00:42:16.000 Then Cuomo went on his radio show and complained about it.

00:42:19.000 And then everyone was like, How were you outside?

00:42:21.000 And then he was like, Oops.

00:42:23.000 And then he still went on CNN and said, Look at me coming out of quarantine.

00:42:26.000 And there are people who live in that reality.

00:42:28.000 Yeah.

00:42:29.000 And they vote.

00:42:29.000 Well, it doesn't matter that none of it makes any sense.

00:42:32.000 It doesn't matter that he's lying because he's not trying to convince the people that already know he lied.

00:42:36.000 He's trying to convince the people that don't know that he got caught at another building.

00:42:41.000 And you know what it is?

00:42:42.000 He came out and did his apology tour, and the right forgave him.

00:42:45.000 I'm not suggesting they all love him.

00:42:47.000 I'm saying he's, it's just people forgot.

00:42:51.000 I just want to stress when we played that video on Friday with Jason Ellis showing the forklift lifting up the razor wire so that Biden could commit a seditious conspiracy against this country and allow people to break our laws.

00:43:03.000 I just want to stress this.

00:43:06.000 I hear this quite a bit where people are like, you really think a civil war was possible?

00:43:10.000 And I just want to stress in 2021, Joe Biden, his administration, used a forklift to break the barriers of the United States.

00:43:18.000 So that people could commit crimes in the United States.

00:43:21.000 This is definitive.

00:43:22.000 It's a fact.

00:43:23.000 Okay.

00:43:24.000 Entering the country is a crime.

00:43:26.000 And Biden aided and abetted millions.

00:43:29.000 It's on video.

00:43:31.000 He even challenged the Supreme Court.

00:43:33.000 Texas sent out their armed state guard to defy the federal government.

00:43:38.000 And there were standoffs between the federal government law enforcement and Texas state guard.

00:43:43.000 Ultimately, Texas state guard backed down.

00:43:46.000 And even CBP agents.

00:43:49.000 Facilitated this crime against the United States and nothing was done about it.

00:43:54.000 And people, you know, I saw Sean, I think it was Sean Strickland, said voting for Trump was one of the biggest regrets of my life.

00:44:00.000 And I'm like, oh, yeah, because when Joe Biden broke the barrier, Arizona put up double layered shipping containers to block the barrier because of the influx of illegal immigration.

00:44:10.000 And the Biden admin had it removed.

00:44:12.000 They were betraying the American people, they were breaking the law, engaging in conspiracies to do so, and everyone forgot.

00:44:21.000 And now, because Trump has some bad things, don't get me wrong, they're like, I can't believe I voted for Trump.

00:44:26.000 Are you kidding me? 0.82

00:44:27.000 You're going to vote for Kamala so that she could literally commit crimes and atrocities against the American people?

00:44:34.000 Fauci's admitting in these documents that he knew the whole time this was not from the wet market.

00:44:40.000 And people are like, I regret voting for Trump.

00:44:42.000 No, you don't.

00:44:43.000 No, the whole I regret voting for Trump is they're just mad that they're not getting whatever their pet project was.

00:44:48.000 It's a combination of recency bias and that.

00:44:51.000 When we were talking about on Thursday, I was like, I thought maybe we'd get some tax cuts.

00:44:55.000 And maybe we get some border security.

00:44:57.000 And that's about as much as I expect from any politician.

00:44:59.000 Don't understand the border security is like with Biden, it could not have been worse.

00:45:05.000 With Trump, it could not be better.

00:45:06.000 Yeah.

00:45:07.000 I mean, it's existential, right?

00:45:09.000 Like, if you continue to allow unlimited people to come into the country and then off, you know, whether it be for the census or whether they be getting onto some kind of social program, all of that stuff will destroy the United States. 0.84

00:45:24.000 And granted, Like, I'm one of the people that thinks that there haven't been enough deportations, although I do think that the administration's numbers are probably right around the truth when you figure in actual self deportations and stuff. 0.82

00:45:37.000 I probably think it's probably around 3 million or so.

00:45:39.000 There's 330 Haitians that just today are now ineligible for the TP, temporary protected status, or whatever. 1.00

00:45:46.000 So hopefully they'll be going back to Haiti and stuff. 0.98

00:45:50.000 But it just doesn't, like, you can't have the policies that the Biden administration had and remain a country.

00:45:56.000 A nation is its people.

00:45:57.000 Let's just show people every single day this video.

00:46:02.000 It's a video of a forklift raising up concertina wire to allow people to illegally enter the country.

00:46:10.000 America is not made of magic dirt.

00:46:13.000 It doesn't change the people that are coming here. 0.97

00:46:16.000 And if you bring enough people from a society that is dysfunctional into your society, your society becomes dysfunctional. 0.85

00:46:23.000 And it doesn't take a majority.

00:46:25.000 Like, if you bring in 20, like, so say that the U.S. is 330 million or so. 0.98

00:46:32.000 If you bring in 70, 60 million people from a society that is incompatible with our society, that's enough to totally ruin your society. 0.99

00:46:42.000 Because people talk about high trust societies. 0.99

00:46:45.000 But a high trust society is a high trust society because you can trust most people.

00:46:49.000 If you get to the point where everybody gets screwed somehow by someone that's come from a different society that doesn't look at society the same way, then you're going to have everybody stop trusting you.

00:47:02.000 I really liked Rubio.

00:47:03.000 He gave a talk where he's like, I'm not anti rain, I'm anti flood.

00:47:08.000 Where you can have a healthy amount of immigration, but this rapid flash increase, the country just can't handle it. 0.57

00:47:14.000 That's exactly why I think we should end all immigration for like, well, all, but like, Like 01 visas or whatever, like for like a decade. 0.85

00:47:21.000 Let's jump to this next story we got on the post millennial.

00:47:23.000 Fauci claimed he had nothing to do with school closures.

00:47:25.000 Diary shows he was proud to get California and New York to send kids home.

00:47:30.000 Trump wants to open schools at all costs.

00:47:32.000 Clearly, he does not care about the safety of children.

00:47:34.000 But I actually think it's much, much worse than just this story.

00:47:38.000 Senator Rand Paul posted this January 26, 2020.

00:47:42.000 Fauci writes in his diary, Now we know the market was not the source, it was the amplifier.

00:47:48.000 That is January of 2020.

00:47:50.000 The wet market was already off the table in his own private notes.

00:47:53.000 And that's been great.

00:47:55.000 In January of 2020, I made the first video for my channel on COVID talking about this mysterious illness in China and people were collapsing in the street.

00:48:06.000 YouTube demonetized the video and emailed me explicitly saying, You may not make videos about this.

00:48:13.000 If you do, we will turn off your monetization.

00:48:15.000 That was in January.

00:48:18.000 This was before the lockdowns, which were in March.

00:48:20.000 Before the general public knew anything about COVID, Fauci already knew the wet market was not the source.

00:48:28.000 And he lied about all of it.

00:48:31.000 Why?

00:48:33.000 Likely because COVID was the product of Fauci's work.

00:48:37.000 Because he had been providing funding for gain of function research that ultimately ended up at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where they created COVID and it massacred people.

00:48:50.000 And Fauci knows this.

00:48:52.000 Joe Biden.

00:48:53.000 The reason what was it?

00:48:54.000 His 11 year pardon?

00:48:56.000 I think it was like 11 years, Fauci's pardon.

00:48:59.000 I thought that it was indefinite, but anyways.

00:49:01.000 It was going back like 11 years, I think.

00:49:03.000 Something like that.

00:49:05.000 Anything he may have done, he cannot be charged for.

00:49:08.000 Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and just say if the Trump administration does not even try, then you have no country.

00:49:15.000 I think you should challenge the idea that you can pre pardon someone for a decade of crimes.

00:49:21.000 Then the public needs to be more.

00:49:23.000 On board with this because, like we were talking about the other week, it's like there is a recency bias, and it feels like a lot of people have forgot or just decided that they wanted to move on with their lives.

00:49:31.000 So, when we were talking about this on Thursday of last week, we were talking about Rand Paul still being all up in this business.

00:49:36.000 And it just feels like for the general public, there isn't a lot of interest in going back to this right now, even though what I see just the other day, from what Destiny said, this was the wet market that caused this. 0.99

00:49:47.000 It's a retard. 1.00

00:49:48.000 Well, there you have it. 0.99

00:49:49.000 But the point is, there's no pressure point here because the general public doesn't seem to care.

00:49:53.000 Well, not only that, the general public is still so sequestered into their team idea, right?

00:50:02.000 There are people on the left that will never accept it.

00:50:05.000 What did Jason Ellis say when we showed him the video of the concertina wire?

00:50:08.000 He couldn't believe it.

00:50:09.000 I don't believe you.

00:50:10.000 Yeah, I don't believe you.

00:50:11.000 I showed the video and he was like, F off.

00:50:13.000 And I was like, yes.

00:50:15.000 And he's like, you're saying the president had that forklift?

00:50:17.000 I don't believe it.

00:50:18.000 So we had to pull up the articles proving it and he could not believe it.

00:50:22.000 Now, I'm not saying this to be disrespectful.

00:50:24.000 Jason Ellis is a regular dude.

00:50:25.000 He skateboards, he does comedy, he doesn't live in the political world.

00:50:29.000 I had a conversation with a buddy of mine in New York back in like 2019 where he was like, He was a liberal comedian guy with millions of followers, and he was like, So you're like pro life or something?

00:50:38.000 And I was like, No, no, I'm pro choice.

00:50:40.000 And he was like, But people are saying like you're pro life because the Democrats are trying to pass abortion protection.

00:50:45.000 And I said, No, the Democrats are trying to pass a bill that would allow abortion to the point of birth, citing mental health issues.

00:50:49.000 And he goes, That's not true.

00:50:51.000 And I said, Okay.

00:50:52.000 And I pulled up the actual bill and I said, Read passage 13.

00:50:56.000 And he reads and he goes, What?

00:50:57.000 This is fake.

00:50:58.000 And I was like, Look at the URL.

00:51:00.000 It's house.gov.

00:51:01.000 It's senate.gov, bro.

00:51:02.000 And he goes, I can't believe this.

00:51:03.000 I don't believe it.

00:51:04.000 And I'm like, Dude.

00:51:06.000 Why do you think I'm making this up?

00:51:08.000 But they live in Wally world.

00:51:10.000 They live in CNN land.

00:51:11.000 Everything is fake and they're just never going to get out of it.

00:51:15.000 And it's also that they're so entrenched.

00:51:17.000 Like I made a remark about Fauci.

00:51:20.000 I mean, on X, I made a remark about Fauci should be tried.

00:51:22.000 Trump should ignore the pardon and snatch him up.

00:51:26.000 And some guy goes, well, yeah, and Trump too.

00:51:28.000 Like immediately, right to Trump too, as if the crimes that Fauci has been accused of that seem to be very, very, like there seems to be a lot of evidence.

00:51:40.000 The millions of people that died because of COVID, like the that died because of COVID, and then the other stuff surrounding COVID, like that's equal to like Donald Trump.

00:51:52.000 Like, like, like, so even if you look at the most terrible way to cast Donald Trump, save for like the crazy people that are like, oh, you know, he was doing stuff with Epstein, blah, blah, blah.

00:52:07.000 Like all the corruption stuff, the money that he's made, the meme coin schemes, those kind of things that are.

00:52:12.000 That are generally universally looked down on.

00:52:17.000 Even if you look at all that stuff, the Jeannie Carroll stuff, all of it, doesn't even come close to the kind of global effect that Fauci had.

00:52:28.000 And some guys just like, oh, but what about Trump?

00:52:30.000 Are you serious?

00:52:32.000 That's like.

00:52:33.000 Was that guy Brian Shapiro?

00:52:34.000 No, actually, I blocked Brian Shapiro because he caught me.

00:52:38.000 So we're back to not being friends.

00:52:40.000 No, but it.

00:52:41.000 We're back to not being friends.

00:52:43.000 That's like.

00:52:44.000 That's like being like, oh, that guy, you know, that guy robbed a bank. 0.78

00:52:46.000 Well, or that, you know, we have a problem with Hitler. 0.66

00:52:49.000 And it's like, well, what about the guy that robbed a bank? 0.81

00:52:51.000 Like, are you serious?

00:52:53.000 This is, this is, it's, it doesn't, it doesn't even come close to the same kind of magnitude.

00:52:58.000 But you got to talk about the other team because people are so entrenched.

00:53:04.000 So it was 11 years.

00:53:05.000 I looked it up.

00:53:06.000 Yeah.

00:53:07.000 11 year pardons.

00:53:08.000 And Hunter, too, right?

00:53:10.000 I don't know about his, but let me look.

00:53:12.000 Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure.

00:53:12.000 But even, you know, it's, it's just, it's frustrating because not only.

00:53:17.000 Are we kind of in agreement around here that Trump's not going to do anything about Fauci?

00:53:20.000 No matter what comes out, he's probably not going to serve a day in jail.

00:53:24.000 And even though they can't do anything about that, people would still say that Trump was the worst president ever if he did say, you know what, we can't let this stand.

00:53:36.000 This guy had such a massive effect on the whole planet.

00:53:41.000 The whole, every person on earth was touched by that pandemic.

00:53:45.000 You know?

00:53:46.000 I don't know.

00:53:47.000 I'm very, very tired of the left right paradigm for everything.

00:53:50.000 And maybe part of that's just because of where we work and stuff like that.

00:53:53.000 But I'm sick of the world being filtered through.

00:53:56.000 The lens of left wing versus right wing policy.

00:53:58.000 But left wing and right wing doesn't mean anything.

00:54:01.000 I'm using the generic idea.

00:54:03.000 You're saying, like, we're complaining about people who don't pay attention to the news.

00:54:07.000 What do you mean?

00:54:09.000 The left just means you live in fantasy land, and the right just means you don't.

00:54:14.000 Depend, yeah.

00:54:15.000 I mean, but in general.

00:54:16.000 Like Jimmy Dore is called right wing, even though he's a socialist.

00:54:18.000 Why?

00:54:19.000 Because, well, he believes a lot of it, he's dancing in the conspiracy slop right now, but he's outside the mainstream narrative.

00:54:27.000 So if you are in CNN land, you're left wing.

00:54:30.000 Even if you're a conservative, if you're Lincoln Project, you're not conservative anymore.

00:54:35.000 So, again, when we're talking about the left right paradigm these days, we're basically just saying, are you in the cult or are you not in the cult?

00:54:43.000 Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating too, because again, it does seem like nothing is actually going to be done about this.

00:54:50.000 And you've got just a cornucopia of evidence that this is something that Fauci knew about, something that Fauci had a hand in.

00:55:00.000 And the Biden administration.

00:55:02.000 You know, we were talking about Joe Biden literally can't remember anything, right?

00:55:08.000 Like the first story about how he was talking to his biographer and was basically incriminating himself and all sorts of things because the Biden administration gave him a pardon for 11 years back.

00:55:20.000 Because they're just as culpable.

00:55:22.000 They knew too.

00:55:23.000 At this point, I just believe all conspiracies, every single one.

00:55:27.000 Every single one.

00:55:28.000 You know, the earth is flat and it's hollow.

00:55:30.000 It's a donut.

00:55:30.000 It's kind of where I'm at.

00:55:32.000 Yep. 0.51

00:55:32.000 And it's Israel who's keeping that knowledge away from us because. 0.51

00:55:36.000 You know, and birds aren't real. 0.64

00:55:38.000 Oh, no, no, of course not.

00:55:40.000 There's no such thing as a bird.

00:55:41.000 Yeah, never existed.

00:55:42.000 Neither are cars.

00:55:42.000 Government drone, you mean?

00:55:44.000 Yeah.

00:55:44.000 Yeah, nope.

00:55:45.000 When I say left right paradigm, I guess coming from my side of what we talk about over on PCC, it's just a little bit different.

00:55:51.000 Like, there were people who were telling me for weeks that the Odyssey was going to bomb.

00:55:56.000 And this is filtered through the left right paradigm because it was conservatives versus liberals versus normies talking about it.

00:56:03.000 I said, it's a Christopher Nolan movie.

00:56:06.000 It's not going to bomb.

00:56:07.000 I don't know if it's going to make a billion dollars.

00:56:08.000 Now I know that it's going to make.

00:56:10.000 Well, over that. 0.95

00:56:10.000 But in general, I'm like, I can look at the objective facts of this, but it was being filtered through the lens of this movie is going to be a degradation of Western society and it's destroying our stories and it's going to create a race war. 0.95

00:56:23.000 And all of this stuff, now, this isn't being filtered through the commentators or anything like that, but people on X. Like, that is the paradigm that everybody looks at it through. 0.69

00:56:30.000 It's not looked at through a news paradigm, it's looking through an ideological paradigm where their view of the world is very, very different from the person who's on the other side of the aisle who's somebody who's just either, if they're not left wing, they're just like a regular person and That's the people who went and saw the movie.

00:56:46.000 I said, it's not an indictment of the left's ability to make movies.

00:56:51.000 It's the indictment on Nolan's ability to get normies to come out to the theater.

00:56:54.000 And those are the people that I miss interacting with, the people that aren't thinking about the parrot.

00:56:59.000 I think, like, The Odyssey does attack the story, but it's a Christopher Nolan normie film.

00:57:07.000 It's going to attract regular normie people.

00:57:10.000 I think the problem the right had is my reaction to, like, the weird.

00:57:16.000 Race and like gender swap stuff, or like Sinan as a character being added despite not being in the Odyssey.

00:57:21.000 I'm just like, I just, you know, I'm glad you made your movie.

00:57:24.000 Have fun.

00:57:25.000 Go see it.

00:57:26.000 I'm not going to go see it.

00:57:26.000 I don't care.

00:57:27.000 I'm not going to complain about it.

00:57:28.000 It's just not a movie for me.

00:57:29.000 That was, I mean, mine was the opposite, but I am going to go see it because it's part of my job.

00:57:33.000 I'm going to go see Spider Man.

00:57:34.000 I'm going to go see Spider Man as well.

00:57:35.000 I'm very excited to go see Spider Man.

00:57:37.000 Did you see that Ryan Reynolds was wearing gray jeans?

00:57:40.000 I saw he was wearing a gray Deadpool outfit.

00:57:42.000 It was made of denim.

00:57:43.000 Oh, was it?

00:57:44.000 So they're calling him a Canadian tuxedo.

00:57:46.000 Now they're all mad at, now they're all pretending like nobody likes Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool anymore.

00:57:50.000 What?

00:57:51.000 Yeah, as Oliver X the other day, like pretending like, Yeah, I don't know.

00:57:51.000 Who said that?

00:57:54.000 Well, okay, so the weird thing is everybody's mad that Sean Levy is going to be directing the Ghost Rider movie with Ryan Gosling.

00:58:02.000 I was like, do we have to pretend like, do we need some art house dork to direct this movie?

00:58:07.000 No, you want the guy who made Deadpool and Wolverine and he did Free Guy.

00:58:10.000 We liked Free Guy when we went and saw it back in the day.

00:58:13.000 He also did the masterpiece Big Fat Liar with Frankie Munez and Amanda Bynes back in the day.

00:58:18.000 I was like, who do you need?

00:58:20.000 You don't need some dorky A24 director to make a Ghost Rider movie.

00:58:25.000 You want the big budget guy to make it.

00:58:27.000 The problem with Ghost Riders is that the original story is he makes a deal with the devil, but then the Marvel Universe is like, but how do you have a devil?

00:58:27.000 The Ghost Rider.

00:58:34.000 So it's actually Mephisto, and then he becomes like, what is it, cosmic Ghost Rider?

00:58:39.000 I'm surprised they didn't do the Robbie Reyes version that they did in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

00:58:43.000 I thought they were going to do it, but I guess Ryan Gosling came to them and said, I want to make this movie.

00:58:48.000 Finally wants to, you know, he's going to make a ton of money.

00:58:52.000 Yeah, the problem with Ghost Riders is the Penance stare.

00:58:56.000 Like Ghost Rider's power is to look in your eyes, and then because of the sins you've committed, your soul burns from the inside out.

00:59:03.000 But now they're just like, they're doing the warp.

00:59:05.000 You know what the warp effect is? 0.99

00:59:07.000 So in Star Trek The Next Generation, to prove that a bad guy was powerful, they would always have Worf, who's this big, tall Klingon, walk up and then get tossed aside like a ragdoll. 0.99

00:59:07.000 No. 0.99

00:59:17.000 So the warp effect is a reference to movies being like, we need to establish the villain's powerful, so have the strong guy instantly lose.

00:59:23.000 So, like when Thor in the trailer for Doomsday swings the Stormbreaker at Doom and he blocks with two fingers, that's the warp effect.

00:59:30.000 It's the opposite of what they did in the Infinity War trailer, where Thanos tries to hit Steve Rogers with the gauntlet, and Steve Rogers has to use literally all his power to keep the gauntlet from basically going through his face.

00:59:43.000 By the way, not a Star Trek fan, as everybody knows, but I did start Andromeda, which is basically an unofficial Star Trek show, and I'm happy to say that maybe it's because of the lack of baggage that comes from watching something that just isn't Star Trek.

00:59:55.000 I actually found the first couple of episodes quite enjoyable.

00:59:57.000 You're saying you haven't watched The Next Generation because people peer pressure you?

01:00:02.000 I won't watch it because people peer pressure me.

01:00:04.000 Ah.

01:00:05.000 The second you tell me I have to watch it, I'm just like, no, now I'm just going to not watch it even harder.

01:00:08.000 You didn't realize you were so weak willed, you know?

01:00:10.000 No.

01:00:11.000 Decide for yourself.

01:00:11.000 I am strong willed in my pushback of everybody telling me I have to watch something.

01:00:16.000 You know, what's interesting too is Star Trek is a really good example because when we're talking about the left, the left does like to use Star Trek to recruit people.

01:00:27.000 Not a joke.

01:00:29.000 Dark Hack by Wall Street, they would be like, you ever see Star Trek The Next Generation?

01:00:31.000 And people would be like, oh, yeah, of course, that's what we're trying to build.

01:00:34.000 That's communism.

01:00:35.000 And then anyone who's an actual fan goes, no, it isn't.

01:00:38.000 They owned private property.

01:00:39.000 Picard owned a vineyard. 0.94

01:00:41.000 You liar.

01:00:42.000 But now with these grocery stores, you've also got Elon Musk saying by 2036, money will be irrelevant because AI and automation will be producing so much, you won't actually need any money.

01:00:55.000 But that's not true because private property will still exist.

01:00:58.000 Someone will still want to live in a skyscraper on the river or on the shore, and there needs to be a way to exchange value.

01:01:05.000 Unless, of course, what Elon is saying is, There will be the haves and the have nots, and the haves will want for nothing, and the have nots will get free food, but nothing else.

01:01:13.000 I mean, the scary thing is like with UBI, who decides how much you get?

01:01:17.000 The government.

01:01:18.000 Based on what?

01:01:18.000 Yeah.

01:01:19.000 On what?

01:01:20.000 You know what I think is going to happen?

01:01:22.000 We're going to go through, like, I should say this.

01:01:25.000 One of the possible outcomes is there's going to be an extinction event, but it's not going to be caused by a meteor strike or warfare or disease.

01:01:32.000 It's going to be caused by abundance.

01:01:35.000 If we get to the point where optimist bots can build more of themselves and then mass produce food, and when they break down, fix themselves and they just build everything, they handle all the mining, all the manufacturing, and humans don't, there's going to be disciplined humans who stay fit and work out.

01:01:52.000 And then there's going to be humans who gorge themselves and do nothing and then just die.

01:01:56.000 And there will be an extinction level event where tens of millions of humans die off over a couple generations, don't have kids, and then just have heart attacks.

01:02:03.000 There are already people doing that for TikTok clout.

01:02:06.000 Well, I mean, this is my point.

01:02:07.000 What I'm describing actually is already happening.

01:02:10.000 So I'm saying, jump us ahead 10 years and you've got food being almost entirely free, which I got to be honest, it's very close to being free as it is.

01:02:18.000 You want free food, go live in Seattle.

01:02:19.000 They got a food bank every day, and there are food banks that just have big shelves of free food.

01:02:24.000 You don't got to spend a dime. 1.00

01:02:28.000 They just came out with Ozempic, though.

01:02:30.000 So maybe that's.

01:02:31.000 So people will gorge themselves.

01:02:33.000 Yeah, they're still going to die.

01:02:34.000 I mean, let's just be honest.

01:02:36.000 You know, you've seen those mesothelioma commercials.

01:02:38.000 We're going to have those for Ozempic, I would imagine.

01:02:41.000 Maybe not Ozempic specifically, it's a brand, but GLP1.

01:02:43.000 It's going to be like, were you prescribed GLP1 between the years of 2025 and 2028?

01:02:50.000 If so, you may be eligible for a large compensation.

01:02:53.000 I mean, we're still going to find out one day that these things are actually nuking our brain.

01:02:57.000 You know what I'm hoping happens?

01:02:59.000 I'm hoping that what really happens is that all the people who got GLP 1, because it's a bunch of different brands, mind you, eventually just have parasitic worms burst from their bodies on live TV.

01:03:10.000 Have you guys seen that?

01:03:11.000 It was like a black mirror or something.

01:03:12.000 No.

01:03:13.000 There's a worm you can get that bites, latches onto you, and sucks out your fat, and you instantly lose all your weight. 0.94

01:03:18.000 So there's like a fat guy.

01:03:20.000 I think it was a black mirror. 0.94

01:03:21.000 There's like a fat guy.

01:03:22.000 The chat can tell me what it is.

01:03:23.000 A fat guy's like, no, I don't want to get it.

01:03:25.000 I don't want to get it.

01:03:26.000 Then finally they convince him to get it, and they're going to do it on TV.

01:03:29.000 But then right.

01:03:30.000 At this moment, there's like an eclipse which causes all of the eggs that were laid in people's bodies they didn't know about to hatch.

01:03:36.000 And then, like, everyone just starts, like, the worms are bursting from their bodies.

01:03:39.000 Gross. 0.58

01:03:40.000 Yeah. 0.96

01:03:42.000 I mean.

01:03:42.000 What show was that?

01:03:44.000 Come on, chat.

01:03:45.000 I really hope that's not true.

01:03:46.000 And I'm not so blackpilled.

01:03:48.000 Creep show.

01:03:49.000 Creep show?

01:03:50.000 Tales from the Dark Side.

01:03:51.000 I'll just look it up.

01:03:52.000 People are just guessing. 0.85

01:03:54.000 I'm not so blackpilled that I expect that to happen.

01:03:58.000 I do think that there's a lot of really, really.

01:04:02.000 Cool things that are going to happen in the next 10 years or so when it comes to medical care.

01:04:08.000 It was creepshows and crawlers.

01:04:09.000 Do you believe that what Elon Musk says when he says that you're not going to need money by 2036?

01:04:15.000 Do you think that's a very, very optimistic?

01:04:17.000 So, what he's saying is money is going to be irrelevant. 1.00

01:04:20.000 People will have money, but the lower class people are going to live in pods. 0.91

01:04:24.000 They're going to walk to the grocery store and there's going to be a base level of food that's just free. 1.00

01:04:29.000 And you're going to walk up and there's going to be an optimist bot and you're going to be like, give me a cheeseburger.

01:04:32.000 And then it's going to go and it's going to make it headed to because it's going to cost pennies.

01:04:38.000 Yeah.

01:04:38.000 I mean, I think it'll still exist in some form, but it'll be more of like discretionary.

01:04:38.000 Yeah.

01:04:42.000 Yeah.

01:04:43.000 I think that there will still be people that want to do things and want to excel, but I think that the basic needs will be probably met.

01:04:52.000 I mean, right now, we make plenty of food to feed, honestly, to feed the world.

01:04:56.000 It's really a matter of distribution than it is actually not being able to, you know, produce enough food.

01:05:03.000 Something like 30% of the food that the United States produces goes to waste, anyways.

01:05:07.000 That's got to do with legalities, right?

01:05:10.000 They can't give away expired food, even if it would technically still be.

01:05:13.000 No, no, transportation costs.

01:05:14.000 Yeah, it's really about being able to get the food where it's produced to where the people that need the food are.

01:05:22.000 But there is one thing that I do want to say to Elon.

01:05:24.000 Let me pull up this video real quick.

01:05:27.000 Let me scroll down and find this here video.

01:05:30.000 Then we can talk about what it means to get free food in the world that y'all are going to live in.

01:05:34.000 Here we go.

01:05:36.000 I'm going to play this video for y'all.

01:05:38.000 You can watch it and tell me if you want to live in the world with the free food.

01:05:46.000 For those that are just listening.

01:05:48.000 It's a bunch of school lunches.

01:05:52.000 The carrot is magnetic.

01:05:53.000 I just want to show you what's being served at school today.

01:05:58.000 This person flips over their meal tray.

01:06:01.000 The food is just stuck.

01:06:03.000 What is that, dude?

01:06:05.000 Oh, man.

01:06:06.000 Pizza, undercooked pizza.

01:06:06.000 It's just fat.

01:06:08.000 I got to be honest, though.

01:06:09.000 I'm going to pause real quick.

01:06:11.000 Actually, the undercooked pizza, it's bad that it's undercooked, but that's not bad.

01:06:15.000 If they're actually got real dough and cheese and stuff, that's just undercooked.

01:06:18.000 I'm not a crinkle cut fry fan specifically, but the cheese fries I'd be okay with.

01:06:24.000 Check this out.

01:06:26.000 What?

01:06:27.000 Mac and cheese. 1.00

01:06:28.000 Until they fix this shit. 1.00

01:06:30.000 Look at this nachos and cheese, and there's a. 1.00

01:06:34.000 Oh, man.

01:06:35.000 There's a film on the cheese, and he's pushing into it, and then he picks his finger up, and there's nothing on his finger.

01:06:40.000 I was reliably told that Michelle Obama is going to fix this.

01:06:42.000 This is crazy.

01:06:44.000 It's like snot.

01:06:44.000 Look at the syrup.

01:06:46.000 You don't eat that.

01:06:48.000 Raw chicken.

01:06:49.000 I mean, look, you should.

01:06:50.000 Is the food coming from like big corporations that are just giving like their lower tier slaves? 0.99

01:06:57.000 What the?

01:06:58.000 Dude, it's not.

01:06:58.000 It's milk, dude.

01:07:00.000 And kids are drinking that?

01:07:00.000 What is that?

01:07:03.000 It's not.

01:07:04.000 Dude, this is weird stuff, man.

01:07:11.000 Homeschool your kids.

01:07:14.000 The icing peels off like dough. 0.96

01:07:16.000 Look at that.

01:07:18.000 Dude, this is wild.

01:07:19.000 They're telling.

01:07:20.000 This is not milk.

01:07:22.000 A lot of the milk that they're showing is just frozen.

01:07:24.000 Yeah, I understand the frozen stuff, but yo, like, hold on.

01:07:28.000 Where's that one?

01:07:29.000 This right here.

01:07:30.000 Yeah, that ain't.

01:07:31.000 What is that?

01:07:32.000 That's not milk.

01:07:33.000 What is it?

01:07:34.000 It's strawberry milk.

01:07:35.000 It's not.

01:07:36.000 No, it's not milk.

01:07:37.000 It's clearly not milk.

01:07:38.000 I understand it's spoiled, but milk doesn't spoil that way.

01:07:42.000 And then there's this one right here.

01:07:43.000 Look at this. 1.00

01:07:45.000 It says true moo, but that's not. 1.00

01:07:45.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:07:48.000 There's no way that's milk.

01:07:51.000 It says.

01:07:52.000 Fat free milk.

01:07:54.000 That is not milk.

01:07:55.000 Milk doesn't spoil like that.

01:07:58.000 Look at that stuff, dude.

01:08:00.000 Yeah, but it's snotty.

01:08:03.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:08:03.000 It was like mucus.

01:08:04.000 It's not edible.

01:08:06.000 I mean, I wonder how much of this is fake, too.

01:08:08.000 Like someone mixes gelatin into a milk to make it snotty or something.

01:08:11.000 But even then, it looks somewhat translucent, like it was not cream.

01:08:15.000 I think getting back to the AI thing and money, I think one of the issues is like the crisis of meaning, though.

01:08:20.000 Like if folks don't have to work at all.

01:08:22.000 Well, the point is if you don't work, this is the food you get.

01:08:25.000 That's the point. 0.69

01:08:26.000 When the robots are doing everything, they're like, oh, yeah, you can have your weird, spoiled schlop.

01:08:30.000 It's free.

01:08:31.000 That's what you get when you want free food.

01:08:32.000 You want government living? 0.92

01:08:34.000 Man, live under Mamdani. 0.51

01:08:35.000 This is the kind of food they're going to be giving you at your grocery stores. 0.97

01:08:38.000 Yeah, I mean, people are going to say, oh, you know, the government's going to provide everything for you and stuff.

01:08:45.000 Or you have fake jobs, like in New Jersey where you can't pump your own gas.

01:08:48.000 And so they create this job that doesn't necessarily need to exist.

01:08:52.000 Dude, this video, this clip from the beginning where the kids picking up the strawberry milk is like mucus.

01:08:57.000 There's a bunch of videos of them picking up mucus that, like, that's not milk.

01:09:04.000 You can't pick up milk like that.

01:09:06.000 Yeah, I don't know what has to happen to milk for it to get that.

01:09:09.000 That's GAC.

01:09:10.000 Remember GAC?

01:09:11.000 Oh, yeah.

01:09:12.000 That's like someone said, I don't know.

01:09:15.000 You can't do that on television.

01:09:18.000 Just the stuff, just Nickelodeon Gack Splat.

01:09:22.000 Here you go.

01:09:24.000 For those that aren't familiar, wait, I got to close this first.

01:09:27.000 Gack was a toy in the 90s from Nickelodeon.

01:09:30.000 You know that probably was just made of the worst chemicals ever, too.

01:09:33.000 We're going to die because we had that stuff.

01:09:36.000 Nickelodeon Gack Splat.

01:09:38.000 I mean, cornstarch goes into anything and makes that kind of stuff.

01:09:41.000 There you go.

01:09:41.000 Yep.

01:09:42.000 Gack.

01:09:43.000 It just took me back in time.

01:09:45.000 I mean, that was just an evolution of the green slime that they made.

01:09:50.000 Pretty slimed.

01:09:50.000 Yeah.

01:09:52.000 Yeah, and you can't do that on television.

01:09:53.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:09:54.000 You said, I don't know.

01:09:55.000 So, this is the world that the left wants for you.

01:09:57.000 You'll live in the pod and you'll eat the bugs.

01:09:59.000 Yeah.

01:10:00.000 And now, look, there are plenty of people out there that'll be like, I'd be fine.

01:10:05.000 I would choose that over having to go to work for some terrible boss.

01:10:10.000 You're going to go to the pod facility.

01:10:12.000 And you're going to like, they're going to open up the pod and you're going to lay down.

01:10:15.000 It's going to be the most comfortable thing you've ever let.

01:10:17.000 You're going to like, wow, this is really nice.

01:10:18.000 And they're going to be like, here's what we do the tube goes down your throat, the Neuralink band goes on your head, and then you enter any reality that you want and you never have to leave.

01:10:29.000 And they're all going to say yes.

01:10:31.000 And they're going to pump that gunk into your belly to keep you alive.

01:10:34.000 Perfect.

01:10:35.000 Yep.

01:10:36.000 But it won't matter to you because you won't experience it.

01:10:38.000 You'll be fighting dragons or whatever.

01:10:40.000 You'll be Harry Potter.

01:10:41.000 You'll never be hungry again.

01:10:43.000 You'll be fighting Voldemort on loop.

01:10:45.000 Stomach will be full of that stuff. 1.00

01:10:47.000 Of GAC.

01:10:48.000 I genuinely wonder, though, what will happen to the human brain if they are given a paradise. 0.71

01:10:52.000 Like in The Matrix, they said the first Matrix was a paradise, but the human mind rejected it because it needed conflict.

01:10:58.000 There's a Dostoevsky quote that pretty much says, like, you can have that, but you'll still need purpose.

01:11:05.000 Like, I can't remember the quote exactly.

01:11:07.000 I mean, like, what would life be like if you won at everything you were trying to do?

01:11:10.000 Would you be happy?

01:11:11.000 No.

01:11:12.000 But it's the same argument that people have whenever, like, whenever a celebrity.

01:11:15.000 Dies or something bad happens and they complain.

01:11:18.000 They're like, What are they complaining about?

01:11:19.000 They've got money.

01:11:20.000 Right.

01:11:20.000 They say, She's so lucky.

01:11:21.000 She's a star.

01:11:22.000 They've got money.

01:11:23.000 It's like, Well, yeah, but why do you think so many rich people end up with drug problems, right?

01:11:23.000 They've got fame.

01:11:27.000 Because they find a way to need more conflict in their lives.

01:11:30.000 You take care of one need and another problem arises.

01:11:33.000 And you need constraints.

01:11:34.000 Like, that's what makes life so fun is it's limited and finite.

01:11:37.000 And if you're just able to keep on respawning in your brain, I mean, that's why I can't stand communists because they think the grass is greener everywhere and then they're confused when, like, Some dude wins the lottery and then just hates his life.

01:11:49.000 Yeah.

01:11:50.000 I mean, look, communists think that the state of, they've said all the time, the state of nature, you're just chilling and you can go out and get, you know, berries or what have, whatever.

01:12:00.000 And it's super, it's just, you know, before capitalism, life was so blah, blah, blah.

01:12:04.000 And it's like life, existence itself is struggle.

01:12:10.000 Like you are struggling against nature, which wants to kill you, all the animals, like any kind of predators want to kill you.

01:12:17.000 And all the physics are trying to strip the Particles from your body all the time, spread them across the universe.

01:12:22.000 You sound like he's like, Get a tent, like, use the last of your man made possessions, sell them, buy a tent.

01:12:29.000 Yeah, now go out into the woods and survive on your own.

01:12:31.000 I'm just you can watch these YouTube videos of people that are like, Oh, I'm gonna sell everything and I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna build a homestead.

01:12:39.000 Look how easy that is, it is non stop work.

01:12:43.000 They work from when they get up until they go to bed, and then they hope that a bear doesn't come and steal their food and stuff.

01:12:49.000 It's it's just They're incredibly, incredibly naive.

01:12:53.000 There's also not, it's not just the have nots in what in society.

01:12:57.000 It's also like there is, like, I've seen a resurgence on my ex timeline of people who work in corporate America.

01:13:03.000 So you might think they're working the right, maybe they work like a 12 hour a day shift at some high finance company or something like that.

01:13:10.000 Or maybe they're just an eight hour a day, something they go, they punch in at nine, they leave at five, and they're like, I have to spend Sunday taxing myself and getting ready to go in on Monday because it's not me.

01:13:20.000 It's like they literally are creating more conflict there because you will adapt to the situation you're in and find a way to make it worse.

01:13:28.000 Yeah.

01:13:29.000 Like I saw, I forget where it was.

01:13:29.000 Yeah.

01:13:31.000 I saw this great quote about the way that socialists view the world.

01:13:37.000 And like I said, it's this, it's like they say that our society is so terrible and capitalism is so oppressive.

01:13:44.000 But they're literally comparing it to like heaven or like an imaginary society that doesn't and has never existed.

01:13:54.000 I should get to make the most of this quote.

01:13:56.000 It's a shower upon him every earthly blessing, give him economic prosperity such that he should have nothing else to do but sleep, eat cakes, and busy himself with the continuation of his species.

01:14:08.000 And even then, out of sheer ingratitude, sheer spite, man would play some nasty trick.

01:14:14.000 So it's kind of like, even if you have everything.

01:14:16.000 You still need to like.

01:14:17.000 Yeah.

01:14:17.000 I mean, look, there are people that even if their lives were perfect, they would do something destructive to throw some kind of chaos into their lives.

01:14:27.000 And they would just as likely do those same things to other people around them, you know, throw chaos into their lives somehow.

01:14:34.000 They're also imagining a world where they get to do whatever they want every day.

01:14:38.000 And they imagine that whatever that is is like their hobbies. 0.77

01:14:41.000 But it's like how many old people retire and they immediately go get a job because they need something?

01:14:45.000 They need structure.

01:14:46.000 They need something they have to accomplish every day.

01:14:48.000 And their relationships too.

01:14:50.000 I mean, the amount of small business owners reach out with, they're retiring and they're like, part of the reason I've been married for 40 years, I work 40 hours a week.

01:14:56.000 Like, if you're just staring at each other all day long, you're going to go insane.

01:14:56.000 Yeah.

01:15:00.000 You're like, oh, God, I have to look at you again.

01:15:03.000 I don't think so.

01:15:04.000 I think if I wasn't working full time, me and my wife would be going like skiing and then rock climbing.

01:15:09.000 But for how many years in a row?

01:15:10.000 You don't think you did it forever.

01:15:11.000 Yeah.

01:15:12.000 Yeah.

01:15:12.000 You do it.

01:15:13.000 Yeah.

01:15:14.000 Easy.

01:15:15.000 Some people are lucky, I guess.

01:15:17.000 So basically, can you give people the description of your business again?

01:15:17.000 Can I ask you a question?

01:15:22.000 Yeah, so we focus when owners want to retire and their kids don't want to take over the business.

01:15:27.000 Small business owners.

01:15:28.000 Like, literally, this is one of those stories that used to be quintessential to like television and movies, which is like the kid who doesn't want to continue in the family business.

01:15:28.000 It's so fun.

01:15:37.000 And I was like, nobody does that anymore because I feel like, like, if my dad had owned a business that would have like chose my path for me in a way.

01:15:45.000 Like, this is what we've been talking about with like in Japan.

01:15:50.000 We've talked quite a bit about Miigata, for instance, where all the young people are moving to Tokyo because they want to be around each other.

01:15:56.000 And then what's happening is in all of these surrounding rural and suburban and smaller town areas, the population is hollowing out.

01:16:03.000 So the community is very small.

01:16:04.000 So they're all moving to dense urban centers, hyper centralizing.

01:16:08.000 That means all the businesses and all the family properties and everything they own is being abandoned.

01:16:12.000 So we're seeing that in the United States.

01:16:13.000 And for us, it's like it's a national security issue because all of the manufacturing, I mean, a lot of the times the owners are actually pushing their kids away.

01:16:21.000 Growing up, they would say flee for the fences because NAFTA and whatnot had just stripped any profit out of running those businesses.

01:16:28.000 And so, the risk to the country is like, hey, we need this manufacturing supply chain to continue on.

01:16:33.000 And then, from a job creation point of view, I think over the last 25 years, small businesses created two out of every three jobs.

01:16:38.000 It's actually not the metas and the Amazons of the world, it's all these small electrical contractors and manufacturing plants throughout the country.

01:16:46.000 So, it's pretty important to make sure that they continue on.

01:16:49.000 You don't want to do it in a way where it's all just rolled up by Wall Street because then it's not creating local wealth or keeping the jobs in the community.

01:16:56.000 Feels like that's what, like, we were explaining this in the show a couple of weeks ago.

01:16:59.000 I said, like, it doesn't feel like The American dream anymore is to like start a business and pass it on to your kids.

01:17:04.000 Now it feels like it's start a business and hope for a private equity firm to come up and buy it and make it worse.

01:17:09.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:17:10.000 I mean, that may be true for like younger folks.

01:17:12.000 A lot of the owners that we partner with, I mean, we're not, we can't pay private equity prices.

01:17:16.000 So they take a discount to partner with us because they want their number two to take it over or they want the business to still be the sponsor of the Little League or the Veterans Day Parade.

01:17:24.000 So I think there's like a lot of kind of American economic life that's still very like good and positive.

01:17:30.000 It's just not the stuff that's necessarily like talked about on the news.

01:17:32.000 What type of businesses go through this process with you?

01:17:35.000 We focus on manufacturing and then the trades.

01:17:39.000 So what we call like critical economy businesses.

01:17:41.000 So actually, tomorrow I'm going up to the middle of, uh, Pennsylvania, and we're partnering with this owner who's retiring.

01:17:47.000 We're backing his number two, and it's a peanut processor.

01:17:50.000 The employee, it's like the number one employer in town.

01:17:53.000 Um, so we're buying that from him and then partnering with Chris, who's the operator.

01:17:56.000 Well, one of the things that the socialists don't realize is when they rail against the wealthy, they're railing against the guy that owns the peanut farm.

01:18:04.000 Really, you know, that's the guy who gets penalized by this grocery store nonsense, yeah, yeah.

01:18:08.000 The be to your point, the you know, the fact that at some point in recent history, you know, small business.

01:18:16.000 Employed two out of three people.

01:18:18.000 Like, I imagine those numbers are similar still.

01:18:20.000 I mean, I mean, yeah, obviously Walmart and Amazon, and there are some big companies that do have a lot of employees, but still, you've got most people working for companies or businesses that are in their small town.

01:18:33.000 And the socialists, they love to go ahead and say, you know, it's a class war, right?

01:18:39.000 The people that are, we're after the million, they say billionaires now, but they really mean anyone that has more than them.

01:18:45.000 And they would go after the guy that owns, you know, the car dealership in your town.

01:18:49.000 He's worth, Over a million dollars, probably well over a million dollars, because he's got a loan out on every single car on his lot and he owns the building or whatever.

01:18:58.000 But it's like that guy employs 40 or 50 people.

01:19:02.000 And if you put him out, you put all those people out of work.

01:19:05.000 And those people are the working class that these socialists swear up and down that they're there for.

01:19:12.000 If you go after the grocery store owner, or you're going to put 50, 70 people out of work because they're the ones that are stocking the shelves, they're ringing people out, they're bagging the groceries, they're doing all the things that are necessary.

01:19:24.000 You put all these people out of work because you wanted to go ahead and stick it to the man and go after the millionaires and because they had unfairly stolen the profit that the workers actually earned.

01:19:40.000 It's like this kind of one dimensional thinking, this kind of misunderstanding of how society works, it destroys not just whole countries, but if you have bad people in your local government, it destroys cities.

01:19:54.000 Totally.

01:19:55.000 And it's like the number, the coolest stat is it's the number one.

01:19:57.000 Trusted institution in the U.S. Like every single year Gallup has done their poll, small business is number one.

01:20:03.000 And so, if you start to destroy those, you just destroy social cohesion, whatever we have left of it.

01:20:08.000 All these people that are swearing up and down that they want to help the working class, honestly, the best way they could help the working class is to get rid of a lot of the regulations and red tape that small businesses in their municipalities have to jump through to expand their business, start their business, blah, Oh, yeah.

01:20:25.000 A buddy of mine was trying to open a foundry in South Carolina, and he was actually before Lindsey Graham.

01:20:31.000 Pass was working with him on trying to identify all the red tape.

01:20:34.000 And in order to open it, they had to do a two year study on some like spotted toad and the impact of the foundry.

01:20:41.000 Like it's insane. 0.88

01:20:42.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98

01:20:43.000 And that's at the federal level too, right? 0.94

01:20:45.000 Yeah, because the EPA stuff.

01:20:46.000 The best thing that could happen to America is the abolition of the EPA. 1.00

01:20:50.000 Just get rid of it.

01:20:52.000 It is such a hindrance on any kind of progress.

01:20:56.000 I know people that are going to make us think about that because God forbid we get rid of some kind of something that protects, but it doesn't end up.

01:21:02.000 Protecting things and it protects the big companies.

01:21:05.000 Sure, yeah.

01:21:06.000 It's expensive to small ones.

01:21:07.000 In those businesses that you're talking about, it's kind of like what we were talking about last week about the idea of like the American spirit.

01:21:07.000 Yeah.

01:21:14.000 And the American spirit is tied to, you know, it's creating something for yourself, it's building a company, finding something that society needs and offering it to other people and taking risks to do it.

01:21:25.000 And those companies are the ones that kind of build the back.

01:21:25.000 Yeah.

01:21:27.000 You know, when people think of America, I guess you do think of a lot of like cultural exports with big companies like an Amazon or a Google or all of these companies that have been founded here in the U.S., but that's not what keeps America America.

01:21:39.000 You know, to that point, To that point, right?

01:21:40.000 So I saw something that said that Elon Musk is now has lost like 30% of his wealth because the Tesla stock has gone down and stuff.

01:21:47.000 All these people that were swearing up and down that it was an abomination and it was abhorrent that we had a trillionaire, blah, And they would have taxed Elon Musk, you know, half of his property or whatever because of, you know, the money they believe that he has in his bank account because he's a trillionaire and they're so offended.

01:22:04.000 None of them would want to share in that kind of loss.

01:22:08.000 No.

01:22:08.000 Losing that much money.

01:22:09.000 They came to get it.

01:22:10.000 Yeah. 0.88

01:22:11.000 You know, so it's just so incredibly ignorant and so, again, motivated by envy, motivated by just, you know, you have too much and I don't have enough. 0.59

01:22:24.000 And by I don't have enough, what they mean is I don't have the ability to eat every single meal from DoorDash. 0.89

01:22:30.000 The funny thing is, is like, okay, 25 to 30 years of skating, which means I go out and you go do street skating tricks on various properties.

01:22:38.000 And one thing that I've always pointed out to people over the years is, you know, where you go on the weekends where there's people in the office.

01:22:43.000 Office all the time.

01:22:44.000 It's not at the big corporations where there's a security guard in this massive high rise there to kick you out.

01:22:49.000 It's the people that run plumbing businesses.

01:22:53.000 It's the people that run all of these small trades.

01:22:56.000 They're there on the weekends.

01:22:58.000 They're always working, or maybe they take Sunday off and hang out with their family, but they're there on Saturday.

01:23:06.000 And that type of grind, that type of work ethic is something that should be celebrated.

01:23:11.000 Totally.

01:23:11.000 And I think two thirds of the founding fathers.

01:23:14.000 Came over to create small businesses and they own small businesses.

01:23:17.000 Either they themselves create it or like John Adams, it gets passed on.

01:23:20.000 So it's in the country's DNA. 0.99

01:23:22.000 And I think attacking them and not even deliberately attacking them, but doing stuff that ultimately hurts them is really foolish.

01:23:30.000 You mentioned in the country's DNA, and that's a big part of the reason why I'm so against all this mass immigration because the people make the country, right? 0.56

01:23:38.000 The population that you have, they make your country what it is.

01:23:43.000 And if you have people that are industrious and looking to and have a Can do attitude, and this is something we talked about a little bit lately.

01:23:49.000 The people that come to America historically up until about 1965 or so, they were people that believed that they were happening to the world, right?

01:23:57.000 They were going to go and do something and they were going to make their lives.

01:24:01.000 Then the people that have come since the 60s and stuff, it's been fewer and fewer and fewer of those people and more people that are looking for the United States to do something for them.

01:24:12.000 And if you come to the United States thinking, United States, I want you to help me.

01:24:16.000 I want you to give me a handout, you know, to provide for me.

01:24:20.000 You're going to end up changing the population and you're going to make the United States a less functional society and less prosperous society.

01:24:28.000 Let's jump to the story from the Wall Street Journal.

01:24:30.000 It's World War III, boys.

01:24:33.000 The Ukrainians hit Iranian supply lines to Russia and the Caspian.

01:24:37.000 And now speculation is emerging that the two wars are about to become one because Tehran is threatening retaliation on Ukraine for their strikes on their supply lines. 0.77

01:24:46.000 And of course, we're at war with Iran and supplying Ukraine. 0.52

01:24:50.000 So, this is where I guess we get World War III. 0.92

01:24:52.000 I mean, World War III.

01:24:54.000 Look, historically, how world wars have started, you know, it's been an expansion of existing wars.

01:25:03.000 So, look, I mean, it's possible.

01:25:05.000 You get China in the mix and we're there. 0.97

01:25:06.000 I mean, they're definitely behind Iran.

01:25:09.000 Well, the Iran war cutting off the Strait of Hormuz has isolated them from their oil imports.

01:25:14.000 So they're down 44% since the start of the war. 0.86

01:25:16.000 And I saw they're behind a lot of the targeting to the CIA bases and some of our other people.

01:25:16.000 So they're pissed off.

01:25:20.000 And likely flying weapon components into Iran. 0.91

01:25:22.000 So, you know, World War III. 0.56

01:25:25.000 Great.

01:25:25.000 Yeah.

01:25:26.000 Great news.

01:25:27.000 I mean, how old are you?

01:25:29.000 I'm 31.

01:25:31.000 None of us are in line for draft.

01:25:32.000 So why do I care? 0.89

01:25:33.000 You know, it's Gen Z. Out the door, boys. 0.99

01:25:36.000 Pack it up, peck it in.

01:25:36.000 I got it.

01:25:38.000 If it, only if it happens, only if it's over fairly quickly, I got a boy that I don't want being drafted.

01:25:45.000 But it's funny because a bunch of people are asking why Laura Loomer has all of a sudden flipped on Ukraine and why she's so supportive of Zelensky, who, by the way, Zelensky is in D.C. right now.

01:25:55.000 So he's just on the street.

01:25:56.000 And, but people are like, what happened that Laura Loomer was calling Zelensky a Nazi?

01:26:01.000 And then all of a sudden she's just like, I was wrong and I'm behind Ukraine at this point.

01:26:05.000 I think the issue is as these wars merge, Trump is going to be between a rock and a hard place.

01:26:11.000 He's going to be forced to support Ukraine because Ukraine is now fighting Iran, who is supplying Russia, who is fighting Ukraine.

01:26:18.000 And the U.S. is going to be involved in a major conflict.

01:26:20.000 And if you're behind Trump, you are going to have to get behind everything involved in this war.

01:26:24.000 Ugh.

01:26:24.000 Wait, so does that mean I have to put a Ukraine flag in my bio?

01:26:27.000 Well, you know, it's really funny because in 2024, I posted.

01:26:31.000 Let me pull up this tweet actually from 2024.

01:26:34.000 I posted my unwavering support for Ukraine in 2024.

01:26:37.000 Nobody cared.

01:26:38.000 I didn't get any.

01:26:39.000 Let me see where this.

01:26:40.000 What did I post?

01:26:41.000 It's here somewhere.

01:26:43.000 I said, Upon reflection, I now understand that Ukraine is our greatest ally. 0.70

01:26:48.000 As the breadbasket of Europe and a peace loving people, we cannot allow the fascist Russians to continue their crimes against humanity.

01:26:53.000 We must redouble our efforts and provide an additional $200 billion at once. 0.95

01:26:57.000 The point was, they're about to vote on this $200 billion pay package.

01:27:00.000 And so I posted that, and they're all like, F you, Tim Pool.

01:27:03.000 So then this weekend, I posted Ukraine has been fighting for their very existence against an evil dictator.

01:27:08.000 I see now the importance of the Ukrainian victory against Russia.

01:27:10.000 I hope Trump and the people of the United States will lend their support.

01:27:13.000 And all of a sudden, a wave of the corporate press was like, Tim Pool flips now supports Ukraine.

01:27:20.000 And I was like, well, technically I flipped in 2024.

01:27:22.000 You didn't flip.

01:27:24.000 So I'm just, I'm on both sides of the issue.

01:27:26.000 But I will just say at this point, with like the Ukraine conflict has not been a big component of American politics in a couple of years, I'm fairly ambivalent.

01:27:37.000 I know that if we get involved in, if this does bubble up, the only thing you can really do is hope that, is advocate for resolution, but stand with the United States despite.

01:27:47.000 Not liking how it's playing out.

01:27:48.000 But it is funny how what I really think is the media latched onto this narrative, not because they genuinely believe these journalists genuinely, they don't think that I actually flip flop.

01:27:57.000 They know that I troll post all the time, but they want it to be true.

01:28:01.000 They want to be able to go and say, see, even MAGA now is supporting Ukraine because it looks like the war is about to get crazy.

01:28:07.000 I get many messages from people who don't know that you post as such.

01:28:13.000 Like, does Tim really support Ukraine now?

01:28:16.000 I mean, I can't remember the most recent one, but yeah, something as similar.

01:28:16.000 Yeah.

01:28:20.000 And usually I don't even see the post.

01:28:22.000 So I'm like, he's probably joking.

01:28:24.000 And then I don't really look any further.

01:28:26.000 I posted also like a day later because I saw the reaction.

01:28:29.000 I'm like, I'm getting notifications being like ABC News wrote it up and like Axios.

01:28:33.000 So I then tweeted Ukraine and Israel have done nothing wrong and we must lend our complete and total support.

01:28:38.000 I'm like, look, the point is this, guys journalists don't actually do any work.

01:28:44.000 I mean, some do.

01:28:45.000 But these people writing this either are intentionally lying or they don't actually do any research.

01:28:50.000 Not a single one of them called me and asked me for comment.

01:28:52.000 They just write what they want the narrative to be.

01:28:55.000 And if what I write fits their narrative, they'll roll with it.

01:28:58.000 So, again, in 2024, when I said, I see now I was wrong, they ignore it because they don't want that narrative.

01:29:05.000 It's an election year.

01:29:06.000 They want to say Tim Poole is Russian.

01:29:09.000 Then, when it's not a presidential election year and the war is ramping up, and I tweet basically the same thing, they go, See, even Tim Poole now supports Russia.

01:29:20.000 I'm sorry, Ukraine.

01:29:21.000 It also doesn't matter because they could just post the same headline and then in the article in the last paragraph say, It's likely that he was being sarcastic as he often does this on the internet, but then nobody reads that far in the article, anyways.

01:29:34.000 No, it's headlines, just headlines.

01:29:36.000 But if this goes World War III and it's looking like the wars are going to, I mean, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that they've converged, right? 0.69

01:29:43.000 That Ukraine is hitting the Iranians.

01:29:45.000 So what?

01:29:46.000 Trump's going to have no choice.

01:29:47.000 Congress is going to double down.

01:29:49.000 They're going to say, oh, well, we have to support Ukraine.

01:29:51.000 Now Trump's going to say, well, you know, look, the Iranians, they're backing Russia. 0.61

01:29:54.000 And here we go, baby.

01:29:57.000 I hope not. 1.00

01:29:59.000 Ukraine hit them? 0.77

01:29:59.000 Really? 0.77

01:30:00.000 Caspian, the Caspian Sea.

01:30:02.000 Oh, well. 0.51

01:30:03.000 Yeah, Iran was supplying the drones that Russia's been using to kamikaze into Ukraine.

01:30:07.000 But now Iran, of course, is in trouble.

01:30:09.000 And I wonder if that's a component of this war, like the reason why one of the reasons Trump goes after Iran could be because they're supplying weapons to Russia and China.

01:30:17.000 He just really, really likes Ukraine and had to find a roundabout way to support them.

01:30:21.000 Yeah.

01:30:22.000 I don't think he had to find a roundabout way.

01:30:24.000 He's literally supporting them.

01:30:25.000 Yeah.

01:30:25.000 No, I'm saying that, like, it just, he couldn't do it beforehand earlier in the term, right?

01:30:30.000 Because it wasn't relevant in 2025.

01:30:32.000 He also ran into it. 0.91

01:30:33.000 Their long range strikes against Russia are pretty impressive. 0.96

01:30:35.000 What they've been able to turn around. 0.97

01:30:36.000 Yeah.

01:30:37.000 I mean, look at this.

01:30:39.000 I mean, the Caspian is not close to Ukraine. 0.94

01:30:42.000 It's wild. 1.00

01:30:42.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:30:45.000 Basically, my. 0.55

01:30:45.000 Did they cross over Russia to then hit them in the Caspian? 0.55

01:30:49.000 When we say Ukraine, we mean America. 0.64

01:30:49.000 Let's just be real. 0.64

01:30:51.000 It's the United States. 0.97

01:30:53.000 You get a guy with a Ukrainian accent to push the button, it's still the Americans that are doing it. 1.00

01:30:57.000 It's like a Scooby Doo thing. 1.00

01:30:57.000 You know? 1.00

01:30:59.000 Let's just see who you really are, mister.

01:31:03.000 I mean, look, to be honest with you, like, it's not really a surprise that, you know, Ukraine's going to do things to try to prevent. 0.75

01:31:13.000 Weapons from getting there.

01:31:14.000 And this is exactly how, you know, his past wars have escalated.

01:31:19.000 You know, the World War I, I believe it was the Germans started attacking US vessels that were going to the UK, you know, and in World War II, like the justification for the attack on Pearl Harbor was the embargo.

01:31:36.000 And these things tend to spiral out of control.

01:31:39.000 Even like Franz Ferdinand, it's just like kind of a random guy.

01:31:42.000 Nobody knew who Franz Ferdinand was.

01:31:44.000 No one cared.

01:31:45.000 But, you know, as soon as he got killed, everybody starts picking sides.

01:31:50.000 I mean, it's going to be, it will obviously be that the Europeans will side with Ukraine.

01:31:58.000 So if there is some kind of, you know, expansion of the war, it's going to turn into Europe and the United States versus Russia and China and Iran.

01:32:11.000 I'm not sure who's going to align with, who else would align with Iran and China, but.

01:32:16.000 You know, you're going to have all of NATO going ham.

01:32:20.000 And it's just bad news, man.

01:32:24.000 Just bad news.

01:32:26.000 These kind of things, like I said, they spiral out of control.

01:32:31.000 So, what I don't know how you actually get out of it, though.

01:32:37.000 I mean, I just figure I don't see this wrapping up anytime soon with Trump saying, like, oh, we've got a new peace deal and all this stuff.

01:32:48.000 It's a yo yo.

01:32:50.000 And now, with strikes in the Caspian, I don't see a path towards de escalation.

01:32:57.000 I mean, this is as bad as it could get. 0.69

01:33:00.000 The only thing that I see is likely at this point is that China gets involved.

01:33:03.000 China's cut off from about half of their oil.

01:33:05.000 They're not going to sit back and do nothing.

01:33:07.000 And as this conflict grows, this just means China can now count how many eggs they got left.

01:33:14.000 Guys, the hormones is not reopening after this.

01:33:17.000 You're not getting your oil back.

01:33:18.000 So, what is China going to do?

01:33:19.000 I don't think China's going to overtly go kinetic.

01:33:23.000 And they cease to exist.

01:33:24.000 Do you think they go after Taiwan?

01:33:26.000 No.

01:33:27.000 If China does not get their oil back, they cease to exist.

01:33:30.000 Russia's constrained.

01:33:32.000 They're at war.

01:33:33.000 Their supply lines are getting hit.

01:33:35.000 They're already shifting into a wartime economy.

01:33:37.000 They've already shifted into a wartime economy.

01:33:39.000 So China needs to get oil from Russia, but now they're struggling there.

01:33:43.000 I mean, I got to be honest.

01:33:44.000 It looks like pulling Russia, the conflict with Russia is beneficial to the U.S. in that it forces Russia to divert its energy.

01:33:53.000 So China gets cut off.

01:33:55.000 And then the closing of the Strait of Hormuz has cut off China from its oil.

01:33:59.000 China's been isolated.

01:34:00.000 They have no choice. 0.67

01:34:01.000 They can cease to exist or they can go to war.

01:34:04.000 I don't mean literally cease to exist.

01:34:06.000 I'm going to say their economy is going to go down, it's going to get bad, their standard of living is going to decline.

01:34:10.000 Or they can fight.

01:34:11.000 Well, China has the ability because they've got such a significant control in their population, they can absorb that kind of stuff in a way that the United States can't.

01:34:22.000 They can just say, if this is the way it is, sorry.

01:34:25.000 People don't have the ability to.

01:34:28.000 They might demonstrate they might actually start rising up and stuff, but you're going to see China will put the kibosh on that stuff real quick.

01:34:35.000 They're not going to allow people to be out in the streets. 0.81

01:34:37.000 They have shown that they have no compunction with welding people into their homes.

01:34:43.000 And so. 0.55

01:34:44.000 Even if China does start to seek some kind of civil unrest, if they have to turn, you know, ration power, whatever, that's an option for them.

01:34:52.000 That's not an option in Western countries the way they did.

01:34:54.000 They have to ration power?

01:34:56.000 Energy.

01:34:56.000 Yeah, because they.

01:34:57.000 Energy.

01:34:57.000 Yeah.

01:34:58.000 But what about the LEDs in all the buildings?

01:35:00.000 That's.

01:35:00.000 I mean, everybody tells me that's why China's the greatest place.

01:35:03.000 All the buildings have big purple LEDs.

01:35:05.000 LEDs don't use a lot of electricity.

01:35:07.000 They can keep those lights on, they're very low impact.

01:35:11.000 And also, the longer this goes on with the street, they're building pipelines right now to bypass it.

01:35:16.000 Which then ultimately just shoots Iran in the foot because they no longer have a negotiating path.

01:35:20.000 Yeah, I mean, Iran is not in a good position.

01:35:23.000 Like, no matter, people are saying, oh, you know, there are people out there that are critical of the United States saying, oh, Iran won.

01:35:28.000 And it's like, look, man, Iran is not doing better today than they were six months ago.

01:35:34.000 Like, that is just flat out they are not. 0.78

01:35:37.000 And they've just started getting the ball rolling to them ultimately not having relevance if people don't actually have to go through the straight.

01:35:43.000 Yeah, the argument they're making when they say Iran won, it's not so much that Iran is in a better position.

01:35:48.000 I imagine it's like what it's done to Trump's oppression.

01:35:50.000 Approval rating and how people reacted to the conflict is probably what they mean by maybe, maybe some of them, but there are a lot of people that are just like, Oh, all Iran has to do is survive and they win.

01:35:59.000 And so they're essentially making the argument that because Iran, the Iranian regime, the Iranian regime, they're still in a position of authority, ostensibly, some of them at least are in a position of power in Iran.

01:36:13.000 They're saying that, you know, the U.S. is or the U.S. lost, but it's not over, first of all.

01:36:19.000 The U.S. just, I guess, they stopped strikes today or what have you.

01:36:22.000 Friday, right?

01:36:23.000 I mean, I don't, I don't know.

01:36:24.000 Stop them and start all the time, right?

01:36:26.000 Yeah, every time I'm on the show, they've just stopped.

01:36:28.000 Yeah, it's legitimately hard to keep track as to whether or not bombs are being dropped on Iran or not as of you know, whatever time it is.

01:36:38.000 I just noticed the gas prices that's how I know when something's happening when the gas prices spike back up again.

01:36:43.000 Yeah, well, gas prices are probably going to spike again because they already were.

01:36:47.000 Well, Trump is Trump had dug into the uh reserves, the strategic reserves to keep to try to keep prices down.

01:36:53.000 But out of everybody that's actually involved in the conflict in Iran, the U.S. is still.

01:36:59.000 The bet in the best position.

01:37:01.000 We've still got oil coming in from Venezuela because we, you know, shifted the relationship with Venezuela.

01:37:08.000 Shifted.

01:37:09.000 Yeah, it's a shifted.

01:37:11.000 I like that.

01:37:12.000 But, you know, because we changed the politics in the Western Hemisphere. 0.97

01:37:19.000 So the U.S. is in a much better position than Iran.

01:37:22.000 Is Iran, their currency lost something like, you know, half of its value or more since the war started?

01:37:30.000 Yeah.

01:37:32.000 They're continuously losing people in high positions in their government. 0.59

01:37:38.000 Just because they can harass ships that go through the Strait of Hormuz doesn't mean that Iran's in some great position and able to project power at all.

01:37:49.000 Clearly, the Ukrainians aren't allowing it.

01:37:52.000 They're not able to supply their partners in the region, if you consider Russia in the region.

01:38:00.000 China can't buy their oil in the same quantities that they were.

01:38:03.000 So.

01:38:04.000 It's not like Iran is doing well.

01:38:06.000 Whether or not this actually does expand into something more, we'll see.

01:38:12.000 I don't know.

01:38:13.000 But again, history being any kind of teacher, this is how things spiral out of control.

01:38:21.000 I guess what they told the Delta Force operators when they sent them from Maduro, they're just going to shift things a little bit.

01:38:27.000 Let's go shift stuff.

01:38:28.000 They just said, Do you guys want to go?

01:38:30.000 And they're like, Hell yeah, we want to go.

01:38:32.000 All that support, and we get to run in there and kick in the door.

01:38:35.000 You know, we want to go.

01:38:36.000 I mean, All those dudes are like, I want to be on a history making mission.

01:38:40.000 And that is one of the more baller things that the US military has done fly into a country, turn the capital off, and just snatch the president and say, You're coming with us.

01:38:55.000 I think all this has to do with China. 0.90

01:38:57.000 And if it was really about Iran, we would have just taken out their infrastructure and be done. 0.95

01:39:02.000 I mean, this is like a month. 0.99

01:39:05.000 You go in, you target critical infrastructure, the country is just gone.

01:39:09.000 But I think Trump's been yo yoing back and forth because it just keeps the Gulf nations from exporting oil.

01:39:15.000 And it puts a block on this while Trump is acting like he's not the aggressor against the Gulf states.

01:39:21.000 So if the war with Iran resolves, China gets their oil back.

01:39:25.000 Trump needs to hobble this and make sure we're constantly at war with Iran so that the Gulf remains closed.

01:39:31.000 Like how long can that go on for?

01:39:31.000 So to what end?

01:39:33.000 Forever.

01:39:34.000 We're ramping up oil production in the Gulf of America and we're selling more oil that way so the U.S. has become a net oil exporter.

01:39:41.000 Then you cut off China. 0.98

01:39:42.000 Choke them out.

01:39:43.000 Now Ukraine's targeting Iranian shipments to Russia and the Caspian. 0.88

01:39:47.000 Sounds like the U.S. told them to do it.

01:39:51.000 I don't think Ukraine does anything on their own.

01:39:53.000 So here we go, boys.

01:39:55.000 If China does not strike back, then we just win. 0.91

01:39:58.000 I mean, sure, great.

01:39:59.000 Well, I don't know that Ukraine doesn't do anything on their own, but they definitely would have been helped by the U.S. trying to target those ships.

01:40:09.000 I'm not sure that Ukraine has the capability to do those kind of strikes from Ukraine.

01:40:15.000 What's this?

01:40:16.000 Singapore?

01:40:17.000 I'm just looking at the South Pacific.

01:40:21.000 South China Sea.

01:40:23.000 Yeah.

01:40:23.000 Immaterial to the conversation.

01:40:25.000 Well, one of the things about the South China Sea is China's been building up, you know, essentially islands for their own use, you know, in violation of international law, international law, which is the most fake thing you can imagine. 0.81

01:40:41.000 So, but China's still not in a position where they're able to. 0.87

01:40:48.000 As much as they're a threat to the United States, if we were to go to China to fight them, they're not in a position where they can just take on the United States because we buy everything from them.

01:41:00.000 China is the manufacturing hub basically of the world.

01:41:03.000 They sell a ton of stuff to Europe and a ton of stuff to the United States.

01:41:08.000 If there were to be some kind of conflict that was Russia, China, and Iran, look, it's going to be NATO.

01:41:15.000 And then that means that Europe stops buying Chinese stuff and the U.S. stops buying Chinese stuff on as much as they possibly can.

01:41:23.000 I know that there's oftentimes backroom deals and stuff.

01:41:27.000 But like the U.S. has been moving to be able to.

01:41:32.000 You know, re industrialize and do some of the manufacturing that we've been relying on China to do.

01:41:37.000 Obviously, we're years away from being, you know, having everything up and running. 0.98

01:41:40.000 But the Chinese, they rely on the rest of the world to purchase their goods.

01:41:47.000 So there is a lot of downside for China to get into some kind of conflict.

01:41:53.000 If it makes more sense for China to probably try and keep the peace and work with the Western countries, Europe and the US, and try to keep things as close to the status quo as they can.

01:42:06.000 Because, you know, to Tim's point, they need that kind of revenue.

01:42:11.000 They need that economic activity to keep people from, you know, starting to protest and having to put the boot down.

01:42:17.000 Because whether or not they can put the boot down, I'm sure that they don't want to have to do that kind of thing.

01:42:23.000 It causes a massive headache for them.

01:42:25.000 And, you know, Xi Jinping, I think he just got rid of like half the military.

01:42:30.000 Yeah, there was a purge earlier this year.

01:42:32.000 So there's plenty of things in China that are going on that are not good for the party and that they don't want.

01:42:38.000 Things to get out of control, which I think is part of the reason why, in the first place, when the strike started, China didn't come out and say, you know, they didn't say, oh, we're going to help our allies and blah, blah, blah.

01:42:50.000 It's like they were just like, you know, this is probably bad.

01:42:53.000 You know, and that was the extent of it.

01:42:54.000 They didn't make any kind of super strong statements.

01:42:57.000 They didn't say that they were going to send support.

01:43:00.000 They didn't do anything like that.

01:43:01.000 They were just like, yeah, you probably shouldn't attack Iran. 0.94

01:43:05.000 You know, it's bad.

01:43:06.000 And that was about the whole thing, you know.

01:43:09.000 So.

01:43:11.000 I just don't see China really stepping up. 0.99

01:43:15.000 That's fine.

01:43:15.000 They'll cease to exist then.

01:43:18.000 They don't have the means of getting the energy they need to sustain their population.

01:43:21.000 You know, it's really funny.

01:43:22.000 There's another way you can look at this fat people have to eat food to maintain the existing fat on their body.

01:43:30.000 Yeah.

01:43:31.000 So, if you are fat and you want to lose weight, you actually don't got to do anything.

01:43:35.000 You literally just eat a normal amount of food, and your body can't sustain the amount of fat on your body.

01:43:39.000 So, it reduces itself.

01:43:42.000 That's kind of the point.

01:43:43.000 China has grown to a certain degree because of their energy imports.

01:43:47.000 Now that they're cut off from them, they will not be able to maintain their population size.

01:43:52.000 It will just start to grow.

01:43:52.000 Slim and trim over there.

01:43:55.000 So they could fight.

01:43:57.000 And if they don't, then their population just starts collapsing faster than it already is.

01:44:01.000 And then they're gone.

01:44:03.000 Even if they fight, they're going to lose.

01:44:05.000 If it actually becomes a hot war, there's going to be significant loss of life that way, too.

01:44:09.000 That's not an argument against fighting.

01:44:11.000 I'm just saying that every fight could result in you fighting someone else could result in your death, but people still choose to do it.

01:44:16.000 The question is Do you just bend the knee and say, my liege, or do you say, I'd rather go down swinging?

01:44:23.000 And if your opinion is that China's going to just give up, I don't think that they're going to give up.

01:44:27.000 I think that they.

01:44:28.000 And how do they get their energy imports back?

01:44:30.000 I don't know.

01:44:30.000 But just because I don't know doesn't mean that they don't have a plan.

01:44:34.000 I mean, like, you know, I mean, they.

01:44:37.000 Right now, China's on an all in type of.

01:44:41.000 How do you get your oil back from the Gulf when the Gulf is closed?

01:44:44.000 So the point that I make.

01:44:45.000 Can you ask politely?

01:44:46.000 The point that I'm making is they're in an all in energy infrastructure buildup.

01:44:51.000 They're building that new dam.

01:44:52.000 They've got the Three Gorges Dam.

01:44:53.000 They've been building, I think, 10 nuclear reactors a year.

01:44:56.000 They've got solar everywhere.

01:44:58.000 So, yes, they do need.

01:45:00.000 You can't transform an oil based economy in even 10 or 20 years.

01:45:04.000 It's not possible.

01:45:06.000 We're talking generational changes. 0.55

01:45:09.000 So, if China wants their energy imports back, they have to force the strait open in some capacity. 0.86

01:45:16.000 They're getting cut off from Russia because Russia's.

01:45:19.000 They've been going around sanctions for forever.

01:45:23.000 We're not talking about sanctions.

01:45:24.000 We're talking about the fact that 44% of their energy is gone because the strait's disrupted.

01:45:29.000 So, whether they're bypassing sanctions is immaterial. 0.68

01:45:31.000 Russia's fighting a war.

01:45:32.000 The war is expanding.

01:45:33.000 So, Russia's sales to China has diminished.

01:45:36.000 And now they just lost half of their energy.

01:45:38.000 They can build whatever dams they want, but they need the calories.

01:45:43.000 The amount of energy you get from oil is insane.

01:45:46.000 Nuclear energy is a lot better, but you still need an initial energy source to manufacture those plants. 0.56

01:45:51.000 So, again, China's choices are to fight, to survive, or they're going to just have a massive depression.

01:45:58.000 They're not going to be able to maintain an oil based economy.

01:46:00.000 They're already struggling.

01:46:01.000 They're tapping into their strategic reserves.

01:46:03.000 Which they had built up just before this war, which is now largely depleted.

01:46:07.000 And now they're deploying electric taxis because they can't, because they don't have the oil for the gas for cars.

01:46:15.000 China's reserves in December were 1.4 billion barrels.

01:46:20.000 And then the war started, and they got cut off from half their energy, and they've been tapping into it, and they've been shifting off of gas vehicles for public works because they're hurting.

01:46:30.000 And so, whatever the amount that they're burning down now is, they're burning down, and they've lost half their oil.

01:46:36.000 So, if China does not find a way to get this energy back, their growth stops, which I think is Trump's intention.

01:46:43.000 Or they fight and try and get it back somehow.

01:46:47.000 But I'm not suggesting China could win.

01:46:50.000 I'm saying that I don't see a likelihood that China just says, I guess we die.

01:46:55.000 Because I don't think any country has ever done that.

01:46:58.000 That movie is way boring.

01:46:59.000 That movie just doesn't have a satisfying conclusion.

01:47:02.000 Yeah.

01:47:03.000 I mean, I suppose there are probably countries in existence that have just been like, I give up.

01:47:06.000 I guess I'll just die then. 0.62

01:47:08.000 But, like, considering, like, even the Irish were just like, no, and there's always some kind of resistance.

01:47:08.000 Yeah.

01:47:12.000 I have to imagine the Chinese government's going to try and do something.

01:47:16.000 I mean, the reality is they are trying to do things now.

01:47:19.000 The question is, will they escalate what they're trying to do, and how can they do it?

01:47:23.000 I think, obviously, what they'll do is they'll attack the U.S. political infrastructure because they need to stop Trump.

01:47:28.000 So I wouldn't be surprised.

01:47:29.000 We already heard from Trump that China was trying to fund these journalists that were anti Trump so they could hurt him.

01:47:34.000 But Trump wins, Trump's going to be president.

01:47:37.000 We'll see what happens in the midterms, but the internal politics is probably the most important thing on China's docket list, whether or not they can stop Donald Trump and the Republicans.

01:47:47.000 Because if Democrats get in, China's got carte blanche. 0.68

01:47:50.000 I think the other piece is they've done such a huge ground game in Africa, China has. 0.83

01:47:55.000 And so I think there's a question of how much can they juice from there? 0.59

01:47:58.000 They've been responsible for a majority of the infrastructure built out there, which is pretty crazy, both for oil and rare earths.

01:48:06.000 Indeed.

01:48:07.000 And now Trump is like, we're going to start producing our own rare earths, we're going to start producing our own chips, we're going to start producing our own chips.

01:48:12.000 Mass producing oil.

01:48:13.000 But we are going to go to your Rumble rants and super chats.

01:48:16.000 So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you've ever met in your life.

01:48:20.000 We got the uncensored portion coming up at 10 p.m.

01:48:22.000 You don't want to miss it on Rumble.

01:48:23.000 But for now, let's read what you guys got to say.

01:48:24.000 Phalanx says If Trump were 10% of the fascists the left hearts think he is, he would check those loan details to see if they valued the building above what the IRS says the building is worth.

01:48:34.000 That's a good idea, and he should do that.

01:48:36.000 Filthy Peas?

01:48:38.000 Is that what it says?

01:48:39.000 Love your work, Tim.

01:48:40.000 Thank you.

01:48:40.000 I do think the last time you made a mistake.

01:48:42.000 The study about increased housing costs said that 30% of growth was due to illegal migration rather than 30% overall.

01:48:51.000 Agree to disagree?

01:48:52.000 It was talking about the growth of prices.

01:48:54.000 Like that's that, unless you mean like it's not a direct correlation to pricing, just a strain.

01:49:04.000 Is that the point?

01:49:04.000 I don't know.

01:49:05.000 I don't know.

01:49:07.000 It was talking about price increases, and I don't know what you mean by the growth or overall.

01:49:12.000 You're saying like there are more houses being produced, or you're saying the overall cost has gone up because the costs have gone up, and the general reporting we saw outside of just the actual article, which used like, you know, acronyms.

01:49:24.000 Generally reported was that the price increases was the result of mass migration.

01:49:29.000 Costa says, joining the club in the delivery room, waiting for my wife to give birth to our first.

01:49:35.000 Congratulations.

01:49:36.000 Congratulations.

01:49:38.000 Meetho says, we also don't build desalination plants because of the energy requirements.

01:49:42.000 The energy it takes to make that much steam is insane.

01:49:45.000 The way the desalination plant in Carlsbad works is that they have a big warehouse building with PVC pipes, and in them is a very fine filter, it's like one micron or something.

01:49:58.000 At high pressure, they blast water through it, which allows water to go through, but not other minerals and bacteria and whatever else.

01:50:06.000 Then they can't just have crystallized salt jamming up the filters.

01:50:13.000 So, what they do is it's not that they're extracting all the salt from the water, it's that they're splitting the water from small amounts of fresh water and large amounts of brine.

01:50:25.000 They then pump that warm brine back into the ocean.

01:50:29.000 Which does not immediately mix with the water.

01:50:31.000 It sticks to the bottom because it's heavier, sinks down, and blankets the seabed.

01:50:37.000 That kills all of the lowest forms of life.

01:50:40.000 And then that creates a ripple effect where up the chain, the fish that feed on the plankton, that feed on the bottom feeders, whatever, they all die.

01:50:48.000 And then everything above dies, and you get dead zones.

01:50:52.000 So they don't build these in mass because they're destructive, expensive, inefficient.

01:50:57.000 But you know what?

01:50:59.000 No one ever accused these people, these comedians, of being smart.

01:51:04.000 All right, what do we got here?

01:51:06.000 El Jefe Lopez says, Pure Bloods, check in.

01:51:10.000 Guido says, Tim, you do know some people are on GLP 1s for diabetes, right?

01:51:14.000 And it works great for type 2?

01:51:15.000 Indeed.

01:51:15.000 That was the initial intention of Ozempic.

01:51:18.000 It was about diabetes.

01:51:19.000 And then they found that people got sick and didn't want to eat food and were like, what happens?

01:51:24.000 Like you vomit?

01:51:25.000 Is that what it is?

01:51:26.000 All sorts of side effects.

01:51:27.000 And yeah, it started.

01:51:28.000 It's blindness is one.

01:51:30.000 Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

01:51:32.000 I think that might be true.

01:51:33.000 I've heard that.

01:51:34.000 Well, yeah, they were like, hey, wait a minute.

01:51:36.000 This makes me feel sick and I don't want to eat.

01:51:38.000 And they were like, you could lose weight by doing this.

01:51:40.000 Then the people who needed it, the people with diabetes that need it, weren't able to find it for a while because they weren't producing enough because they were prescribing so much for it off label.

01:51:48.000 I just, I absolutely love that all these fat celebrities that were pretending to enjoy being fat got on Ozempic in two seconds.

01:51:55.000 And they were like, no, I'm not sad anymore. 0.74

01:51:57.000 Just lies.

01:51:58.000 And it's such a ridiculous thing, too, because all the work that it takes to actually change how you look is tied to your ability to not just not be like, An overeater, but also get exercise, which kind of plays a role in how you feel about yourself because you're actually taking an active role in changing yourself. 0.89

01:52:17.000 So you're just short circuiting your brain and going straight to the easy part.

01:52:21.000 And so none of it sticks when you go off of it.

01:52:25.000 Hank Fett says, It sounds like Democrats are banking on taking the House and the Senate so they can reopen USAID and go back to funneling money to themselves.

01:52:32.000 Yeah.

01:52:32.000 Yes.

01:52:33.000 That sounds like a possibility.

01:52:37.000 Let's see.

01:52:38.000 Mike here says, You can get a charge for hitting someone with a cell phone.

01:52:40.000 Ask sticks.

01:52:42.000 Why would it happen?

01:52:43.000 Anybody know?

01:52:43.000 I don't know.

01:52:45.000 He hits him with a cell phone, huh?

01:52:46.000 Maybe.

01:52:48.000 Britt Griffith, Mower Racing, says they are getting the loan to float past the midterms because they think they're going to win and they can restart USAID.

01:52:53.000 There you go.

01:52:54.000 Well, they got money coming from somewhere because that's the only way to explain the Odyssey.

01:53:00.000 Why was that?

01:53:02.000 You didn't hear all the conspiracy theories?

01:53:03.000 Is USAID's last?

01:53:05.000 People were posting all over on Reddit that they were going to the theaters to see the Odyssey, but the theaters were half empty despite the fact that they were full and their seats were unavailable.

01:53:14.000 So people would post, like, oh, I decided to pick up some tickets for me and my kid.

01:53:18.000 But the theater was full, so I got really bad seats.

01:53:21.000 But when I showed up, nobody was there, so ended up just sitting in good seats.

01:53:25.000 The conspiracy theory is that Nolan or backers put $100 million into buying up tickets to guarantee big press, big sales, which funnels the money to the theaters and back to them anyway.

01:53:37.000 And then after the press hits, people are like, oh, wow, it must be a big movie.

01:53:40.000 I'll go see it. 0.98

01:53:42.000 Now, some people responded by saying, you're insane. 0.99

01:53:45.000 That's crazy. 1.00

01:53:45.000 They would never do this, which is also the stupidest thing in the world because, well, I'm not convinced. 1.00

01:53:50.000 That they put $100 million into buying fake tickets. 0.98

01:53:54.000 They do it for literally every single industry.

01:53:56.000 Well, they do it for books.

01:53:57.000 They do it for everything.

01:53:58.000 They put it on the bestsellers list.

01:54:01.000 There is a mechanism by which every creative industry fabricates their views and numbers and streams or whatever it may be to make it look big.

01:54:08.000 And I will say this I don't believe, like, listen, go to Times Square, walk up to a random person, and you can say, All right, would you rather go see.

01:54:22.000 A horror movie, Backrooms.

01:54:25.000 Or would you like to watch a movie, Homer's The Odyssey?

01:54:29.000 They're going to go, I just watched the horror movie.

01:54:31.000 Like, what's.

01:54:32.000 Would you rather watch.

01:54:33.000 But you're advertising it wrong.

01:54:34.000 You say Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

01:54:36.000 Yeah, there you go.

01:54:37.000 That's not a fair comparison.

01:54:38.000 His name is what sold this movie.

01:54:40.000 I don't believe it.

01:54:43.000 I don't believe it.

01:54:44.000 You don't believe that that many people went and saw it?

01:54:46.000 Well, I don't know about that.

01:54:48.000 I'm just saying that his movies have a consistent growth, box office to box office, with every new release.

01:54:54.000 And he did.

01:54:55.000 So, for Oppenheimer to make $943 million off of the bet, well, outside of seeing an email from Universal Studios saying, like, we need to buy this block of tickets, scalpers buy tickets and then eat the cost when they're not able to sell them later.

01:55:08.000 Yeah, I just think that the idea that the studios buy their own tickets to flub the numbers is probably true.

01:55:14.000 To what degree, I don't know.

01:55:16.000 But they do it for books and they do it for music.

01:55:17.000 Why wouldn't they do it for movies?

01:55:19.000 That's not a conspiracy theory.

01:55:20.000 That's just what the studios do.

01:55:21.000 So, no, they do buy a block of tickets mostly for giveaways and promotional things that they hold, right?

01:55:27.000 And then what happens is the media goes nuts, pumping out a story to everybody saying they just did a $100 million opening weekend.

01:55:34.000 And they go, oh, maybe I should go see it.

01:55:36.000 And that's how you create buzz.

01:55:37.000 So, okay, so you do that for opening weekend, right?

01:55:39.000 Say we do that, you do it just for opening weekend.

01:55:42.000 It had less than a 30% drop into week two, which is almost unheard of.

01:55:46.000 Which kind of proves the point.

01:55:49.000 That means it made almost as much money in its second weekend as it did in its first weekend.

01:55:53.000 Which is, that kind of proves the point.

01:55:56.000 That you buy up tickets as a marketing play, make it sound like a top movie.

01:56:00.000 And then the rest of the movie.

01:56:01.000 And then next weekend, people show up.

01:56:03.000 I mean, maybe.

01:56:04.000 I don't know.

01:56:04.000 I just don't think you're going to people and being like, you want to go see the Odyssey in the world?

01:56:08.000 That's not easy.

01:56:09.000 They're going to see a Christopher Nolan movie because his name sells it.

01:56:12.000 And they sold all the tickets on presale a year ago.

01:56:15.000 They sold the IMAX tickets only a year ago because people want to go see stuff in IMAX.

01:56:19.000 It's another thing that contributes to this.

01:56:21.000 One of the big things going on right now is that there are less tickets of this movie being sold than prior films because tickets just cost more than they did in prior years because inflation causes ticket prices to go up.

01:56:31.000 I'm just saying, you go to a regular person, you say Spider Man or the Odyssey, and they'll go.

01:56:35.000 What's the Odyssey?

01:56:38.000 Like, again, like I said, you're not advertising.

01:56:40.000 The movie itself is irrelevant.

01:56:41.000 Christopher Nolan's name is what sells this movie.

01:56:43.000 I'd be willing to bet that if I went to Times Square and said, Do you want to go see Spider Man or Christopher Nolan's latest film?

01:56:50.000 The response is going to be, Who's Christopher Nolan?

01:56:53.000 Well, they're not going to say that, but Spider Man will sell.

01:56:57.000 I guarantee you the name recognition for Christopher Nolan versus Spider Man is like 100 to 1.

01:57:01.000 The guy who made the Dark Knight trilogy, which is one of the most famous trilogies in all of Europe.

01:57:06.000 And people don't know the name Christopher Nolan.

01:57:06.000 Sure is.

01:57:09.000 Yes, they do.

01:57:11.000 Certainly disproportionate amounts of people do.

01:57:13.000 But again, I'm saying if you go to Times Square, And go around asking people who Christopher Nolan is, one in 10 might be like, oh, I know who that is.

01:57:18.000 There's a real.

01:57:19.000 Like, come on.

01:57:19.000 Like, movie directors?

01:57:20.000 How many movie directors can an average person name?

01:57:23.000 Michael Bay, James Cameron.

01:57:25.000 Right now, movie directors are a more bankable thing for the directors that sell.

01:57:31.000 Well, Feige's not a director, he's just a producer.

01:57:33.000 But right now, they bank more on a director's name selling a movie than they do an actor's name.

01:57:38.000 Yeah, and I just think it's all fake.

01:57:42.000 Like I said, if some of you are.

01:57:43.000 All right, we're going to make a bet.

01:57:45.000 If out of 100 people asked in Times Square at random, how many of them, what percentage do you think will know the name Christopher Nolan?

01:57:53.000 60 to 75%.

01:57:55.000 And actually be able to name one, like a couple, let's be fair, like two of his movies?

01:58:01.000 Is that fair?

01:58:02.000 Yeah, because three fair?

01:58:03.000 Is three too much?

01:58:03.000 You could name all three Batman movies and be done with it.

01:58:07.000 I don't know that people are going to know, you are dramatically overestimating the average person.

01:58:07.000 So three.

01:58:14.000 I think people who are into movies will probably know this.

01:58:16.000 But I'd be willing to bet even if you did it, you know, you ever see those, if you did a trivia show, I'd be willing to bet if you did a trivia show and said, who was the director of The Dark Knight Rises, they're going to say, I still don't think this undersells, like his movie making the money, this isn't like the biggest box office of all time.

01:58:36.000 I don't think the numbers that this movie accomplished lend itself to the idea that they had to create a conspiracy around it to sell it.

01:58:42.000 It's not a conspiracy.

01:58:43.000 They're saying, okay, if they had to use underhanded tactics around it.

01:58:46.000 Is it underhanded?

01:58:47.000 Every industry does it.

01:58:49.000 Every single industry.

01:58:49.000 It's a semantic argument.

01:58:50.000 The point is it's not semantics.

01:58:52.000 It's a semantic argument because the conversation here is about whether this movie organically made the money that it.

01:58:58.000 So is it marketing or is it people organically showing up to see Homer's The Odyssey by Christopher Nolan?

01:59:04.000 Okay, rephrase the question.

01:59:07.000 Is it a marketing mimic?

01:59:08.000 It's marketing.

01:59:09.000 But it's not marketing by way of buying tickets, marketing by way of spending a year.

01:59:13.000 First of all, you do all the pre sale tickets to start, you start advertising the movies.

01:59:17.000 You have to see this movie on 70mm IMAX, which is the most expensive ticket that you can buy.

01:59:22.000 You buy up all the IMAX screens for the next four months.

01:59:26.000 Spider Man's not coming out on IMAX.

01:59:28.000 Spider Man's is coming out on PLF screens, but all the IMAX screenings are going through until like Novette.

01:59:34.000 The movie industry is not immune to what literally every other industry does.

01:59:40.000 So, what's the argument?

01:59:42.000 That this is the one industry that doesn't do it?

01:59:43.000 That's not what I'm saying.

01:59:44.000 My argument is that the amount of tickets that would need to be bought to influence the $124 million opening ticket is sick.

01:59:51.000 No way.

01:59:53.000 Yeah, probably.

01:59:54.000 First of all, X would be posting limitless screen readings.

01:59:57.000 What's the marketing budget for this movie?

01:59:59.000 $125 million.

02:00:01.000 So they're going to spend $125 million in marketing?

02:00:03.000 Yeah, they flew every cast member out to like nine different countries.

02:00:06.000 Yeah.

02:00:07.000 Right.

02:00:07.000 So have there ever been marketing budgets greater than $125 million?

02:00:11.000 Yes.

02:00:11.000 Indeed, many, many times.

02:00:12.000 So what if in this instance, despite the fact that it's a Christopher Nolan film, the marketing budget is less than some Marvel movies, they went, let's put half the marketing budget towards pre sale tickets so that we can say it's the number one movie, which will boost sales in the following week, which did happen.

02:00:26.000 Would there be, okay, so would there not have been a bunch more photos on X of people being like, eh, this doesn't make any sense.

02:00:32.000 Why am I in this?

02:00:33.000 There were.

02:00:34.000 That's the point.

02:00:34.000 Not all over social media, people were posting, they were going to theaters, and the theaters were half empty despite the theater being sold out.

02:00:41.000 Now, I'm not saying that proves anything.

02:00:43.000 Some people argue, well, people probably bought pre sale tickets and they just ended up not showing up.

02:00:47.000 Or scalpers.

02:00:48.000 Yes, scalpers.

02:00:50.000 When you buy pre sale tickets, you can have it refunded up until the last minute and start your money.

02:00:56.000 My point is if you go to Times Square and ask somebody about The Odyssey, they're going to be like, if you go, Christopher Nolan's got a Batman movie coming out, they're going to be like, oh, I love Batman.

02:01:05.000 They're not going to go, I love Christopher Nolan.

02:01:09.000 Oppenheimer did $924 million.

02:01:12.000 It's literally a biopic that's like almost all governmental hearings.

02:01:17.000 Yeah, I know.

02:01:17.000 And I don't believe it.

02:01:19.000 Okay.

02:01:20.000 Maybe half that.

02:01:22.000 Maybe 700, the initial 200 is marketing.

02:01:24.000 A company that's going to put $300 million in marketing, why would they not be like, hey, look, if we do $100 million, that money, half of it cycles back to us in the first place.

02:01:33.000 We can then put up in every media apparatus, we're the biggest movie in the world, which works.

02:01:39.000 Like word of mouth.

02:01:41.000 And so, for instance, my favorite example of this is Pirates of the Caribbean 2. 0.97

02:01:45.000 Which sucked ass, but they were running commercials endlessly saying it was the number one movie in the world. 0.85

02:01:52.000 Well, they can do that if it's number one on the first Friday of the month. 0.99

02:01:55.000 Pirates One was a really great movie.

02:01:59.000 And people went to see Pirates Two because Pirate One was good.

02:02:03.000 Pirates Two sucked miserably, but Pirates One was awesome.

02:02:07.000 So when they say Pirates Two is the biggest movie in the world, what they're actually saying is Pirates One is the biggest movie in the world and people are hungry for more.

02:02:13.000 So again, that's the point.

02:02:15.000 When you are able to put in media, it's It's hit 100 million.

02:02:18.000 It's a massive weekend.

02:02:19.000 It's a billion dollar movie.

02:02:20.000 It's the biggest movie.

02:02:21.000 You got to go see it.

02:02:23.000 People hear this.

02:02:24.000 The media starts playing the story over and over and over again.

02:02:27.000 It's worth more in marketing to buy 100 million tickets than it is to buy 100 million in TV commercials.

02:02:33.000 That is a lot of seats.

02:02:35.000 And there was not like, yes, there was a lot of pictures.

02:02:37.000 How many pictures did you see on X of empty screenings?

02:02:40.000 Was it $100 million worth of 15 pictures?

02:02:44.000 So, and there were like 30 posts on Reddit being like, Yo, I went to a theater and it was half empty.

02:02:49.000 There were a couple of posts where they're like, I work at a theater.

02:02:51.000 We thought it was going to be busy, but it wasn't, even though we were sold out.

02:02:54.000 If every single one of those was real, okay, that does not equal out to $100 million worth of purchase tickets.

02:03:02.000 There would be way more examples of.

02:03:04.000 Right, because again, let's just say $50 million is self bought, like they would with a book or a song, but movies are bigger, so they'll spend $50 million towards their marketing budget in buying up seats using various companies so that they can claim they've got a bigger weekend than they do.

02:03:20.000 Which results in positive press, which word of mouth then travels and results in further sales for the next weekend, which did happen.

02:03:26.000 Here's the other thing.

02:03:27.000 You could see them doing that within the first weekend, where if they're like number two or number three to another movie, they just dump more money so they're at number one, which probably helps them get more money.

02:03:35.000 Look at what Endgame did because they lost to Avatar.

02:03:38.000 They added unfinished, like unrendered CGI and did a bonus re release just so that they could sell enough tickets to claim they beat Avatar in the box office.

02:03:49.000 Oh, wow.

02:03:49.000 It's all fake.

02:03:50.000 There was no reason to do that because there was no other movies opening this weekend that mattered.

02:03:54.000 Like, if there had been, if it was like, for instance, Doomsday comes out the same day as Dune.

02:03:59.000 Okay.

02:03:59.000 That's crazy.

02:04:00.000 There might be reasons for some chicanery right there. 1.00

02:04:03.000 They're going to move that. 1.00

02:04:04.000 There's no way they pull that off.

02:04:05.000 Yeah.

02:04:06.000 Who do you think is going to move?

02:04:08.000 I don't see why Doomsday would keep that date.

02:04:09.000 Why don't they just move it forward a week?

02:04:11.000 I mean, if I'm Dune, like, I'm the one that's moving.

02:04:15.000 Dune opened to, like, under 100 million and then, like, did 715 million worldwide first for Dune Part 2.

02:04:15.000 Like, I want to be Dune.

02:04:23.000 Like, if I'm one of them, Dune's the one that's blinking.

02:05:27.000 Just want to say thank you to everyone who came out to the Discord event on Friday.

02:05:31.000 Met a lot of you, and it was a great time.

02:05:34.000 Follow Trash House Records at Trash House Records on YouTube.

02:05:37.000 And let's get into the after show.

02:05:39.000 We'll see you all over at rumble.com slash TimCast IRL right now.

02:05:43.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:06:37.000 So as I was saying, not a single person went to see The Odyssey, not even Brett.

02:06:40.000 He's just pretending.

02:06:41.000 So, you spend $100 million in buying tickets so that you can make $90 million for no one at all.

02:06:49.000 Yes.

02:06:50.000 But I didn't say they spent $100 million on week one and they'd do $50 or whatever.

02:06:54.000 I'm saying they're filling seats because the music industry does it to their songs.

02:06:59.000 They'll buy fake views, they'll prop up the artists, they'll buy fake subscribers, they do this with the books.

02:07:04.000 They'll buy 200,000 books, they'll spend $5 million just so that they can claim it's the biggest book in the country.

02:07:12.000 Part of my job is to look at the box office for these movies, look at what's going on online, where the discussion is going, and make that analysis.

02:07:20.000 If I see an email from Universal executive in the promotions department to main Universal boss and says, I want you to buy up this block of seats, then we can have that discussion.

02:07:31.000 But until then, I do think that there's a bubble that people find themselves in.

02:07:34.000 And this is what I think happens I think they didn't realize that normies go to see movies that Christopher Nolan makes.

02:07:40.000 You can make the argument that you don't think they do.

02:07:42.000 I think they do.

02:07:43.000 The success of his past movies, whether it's everything past the Batman trilogy.

02:07:47.000 Right, we get it.

02:07:47.000 I think people go to see Nolan movies.

02:07:49.000 I just don't think they go to see The Odyssey.

02:07:51.000 So that means Nolan's going to sell tickets on his name, but not on The Odyssey's name, which means it probably shouldn't perform anywhere near what it's performing at.

02:07:58.000 First of all, it's not even making the majority of its money domestically, it's making the majority of its money overseas, where the movie is going to make even more money because Homer's The Odyssey is probably more recognizable.

02:08:09.000 Plus, isn't The Odyssey a story that's like quintessential to the American public school system?

02:08:14.000 Like, people know that story.

02:08:16.000 I was forced to read it.

02:08:17.000 Yeah.

02:08:17.000 Like, people gave me crap in the review because I was like, look, I didn't read it.

02:08:21.000 So it's like, and then people were, I was like, oh, are you school shaming me now? 0.93

02:08:25.000 Because they were.

02:08:26.000 Because I didn't read it.

02:08:27.000 What are you watching my review for?

02:08:29.000 Rid it.

02:08:30.000 Rid it.

02:08:31.000 The point being that his movies are an event now.

02:08:34.000 So the idea that he sold, this wasn't like a $250 million opening.

02:08:40.000 Spider Man is looking to open to like $250 million domestic.

02:08:44.000 Some are saying as high as $330. 0.68

02:08:46.000 I think that's a bit ridiculous.

02:08:47.000 I think $250 is a safe bet.

02:08:49.000 Like an $800 million opening worldwide.

02:08:52.000 It opened at $250 million.

02:08:54.000 That's like a lot of money, but it's not so vast that it looks like there's some type of.

02:08:59.000 Spider Man is going to be sold out, and we'll take a look at those numbers.

02:09:04.000 I had a harder time finding tickets for Spider Man than I did for The Odyssey, but I didn't see an IMAX.

02:09:08.000 I bought Spider Man tickets the day they went on presale to make sure we got good seats.

02:09:12.000 And I guarantee you, like, well, actually, this is true.

02:09:15.000 Like every single theater right now, it's sold out for Spider Man.

02:09:18.000 Mm hmm.

02:09:19.000 So, we'll see.

02:09:19.000 Yep.

02:09:20.000 What do you think the opening weekends for Spider Man is going to be?

02:09:22.000 So, the projections right now are anywhere from 180 domestic to the highest one I saw was 330.

02:09:29.000 I don't think it's going to make 330.

02:09:30.000 I think $250 million is a safe bet.

02:09:33.000 And then, what did Odyssey do?

02:09:35.000 It did 124 domestic, 250 worldwide.

02:09:38.000 So, Spider Man is looking to make as much money in its opening weekend domestically as the Odyssey made worldwide.

02:09:45.000 So, Spider Man's going to do what, like 600 million?

02:09:47.000 Some are saying as much as eight in just the opening weekend.

02:09:50.000 I don't know if it's going to be.

02:09:50.000 How much did Tom Holland get?

02:09:52.000 It's, I don't know what his deal is on the film.

02:09:54.000 I don't know how much money he got substantially less than Tobey Maguire got.

02:09:57.000 Isn't that crazy?

02:09:58.000 Tobey Maguire got paid insane amounts for the first Spider Man.

02:10:01.000 You didn't want, oh, the first, the first, the first one, it was 2001 or whatever.

02:10:06.000 2001?

02:10:06.000 Really?

02:10:06.000 2002?

02:10:07.000 2002?

02:10:08.000 Right.

02:10:08.000 And then, like, they paid him, it's like, what was Tobey Maguire in that he warranted such a massive salary for that movie?

02:10:14.000 Was he like a TV actor before that?

02:10:16.000 I don't remember.

02:10:16.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:10:17.000 I only know him from Spider Man.

02:10:19.000 I mean, that was also, that's another one that was sold as a Sam Raimi movie as much as it was Spider Man, because Sam Raimi is such a big deal.

02:10:27.000 Yeah, but not like, you know, Nolan or.

02:10:31.000 And Spider Man is the most bankable superhero in the world.

02:10:34.000 Like, the best way you can talk about it is like, to this day, like, if you were a kid, you might have had Spider Man pajamas.

02:10:41.000 Your kids could still want to have Spider Man pajamas in current year, which proves the staying power of the character.

02:10:47.000 And Marvel offered, I think they offered Sony all of their backlog, all characters.

02:10:51.000 And Sony was like, no, no one likes any of these things.

02:10:54.000 They want Spider Man, so that's all we'll buy.

02:10:56.000 And then they got a cheaper deal for Spider Man.

02:10:58.000 And then Marvel went with Iron Man, and Iron Man was way better.

02:11:00.000 Marvel is getting more of the box office for this one than they have for the previous deal.

02:11:05.000 They renegotiated their contract with Sony.

02:11:07.000 Well, Sony's going to give it up, I heard.

02:11:09.000 I don't know if that's going to.

02:11:10.000 I mean, maybe that ends up happening, especially with Sony being in, like, their stock price keeps taking a huge hit because they're.

02:11:17.000 Dude, they tried.

02:11:19.000 I would like to get Sony executives and, like, James Gunn into a room to yell at them.

02:11:26.000 Because I don't understand how they fuck this up so much.

02:11:30.000 James Gunn, DC stuff?

02:11:31.000 Yeah, yeah, James Gunn, especially.

02:11:32.000 Oh, so you're talking about DC and Sony as separate.

02:11:35.000 Well, to be fair, well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:11:37.000 I'm saying, like, guys.

02:11:39.000 This is not difficult. 0.99

02:11:41.000 Literally, just go watch Iron Man 1 and then watch Captain America and then watch Thor and make a fucking movie. 0.97

02:11:48.000 You're asking James Gunn to make something quasi serious, and that's. 0.99

02:11:51.000 I'm not asking him to make something serious.

02:11:53.000 I said quasi serious.

02:11:54.000 I'm not saying quasi serious.

02:11:56.000 I'm saying Iron Man was a singular storyline about a guy. 0.99

02:12:01.000 Make a fucking movie about a guy. 0.98

02:12:02.000 They're not allowed to do that either. 0.99

02:12:03.000 They're like, no, everything's got to be Justice League and the Avengers. 1.00

02:12:07.000 No, you idiots. 1.00

02:12:09.000 I love the things now. 1.00

02:12:11.000 They say, like, Superman will make a cameo in Superman Man of Tomorrow.

02:12:15.000 God.

02:12:15.000 Yeah.

02:12:16.000 Because it feels like all of it is.

02:12:17.000 Lanterns doesn't look good to me.

02:12:19.000 I am looking forward to Clayface being a. 0.98

02:12:21.000 Yeah, but they're going to fuck it up. 1.00

02:12:23.000 I mean, it feels Morbius. 0.96

02:12:25.000 Exactly.

02:12:26.000 It's going to be Morbius.

02:12:27.000 Do you used to be an Alamo Drafthouse fan?

02:12:29.000 No. 0.98

02:12:30.000 Because that's another thing Sony fucked up. 0.87

02:12:32.000 These, like, really cool boutique.

02:12:32.000 Yeah.

02:12:33.000 Oh, we do go to a.

02:12:36.000 It's not an Alamo Drafthouse, but it's basically an Alamo Drafthouse.

02:12:39.000 It's hilarious because it used to be, like, for film buffs.

02:12:41.000 Warehouse.

02:12:42.000 Warehouse is awesome.

02:12:42.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:12:43.000 Yeah.

02:12:43.000 I don't go to, like, I make the joke every time on the show.

02:12:46.000 I'm like, whether I get my drunken fries will decide whether I like this movie or not beforehand.

02:12:51.000 Like, if I don't, if they give me the wrong cheese, there's every possibility this review gets a negative connotation.

02:12:56.000 But just your attitude going.

02:12:58.000 No, it is.

02:12:58.000 That's, I actually, I made this point once.

02:12:58.000 Yeah.

02:13:01.000 I said, we went and saw Wonka, which for all intents and purposes should be something I would have really, really liked because I, like, I, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, like, fine.

02:13:10.000 Willy Wonka, not a huge part of my childhood.

02:13:13.000 And I got out of it and I didn't have my drunken fries. 1.00

02:13:15.000 I'm like, fuck this movie. 0.99

02:13:16.000 But, anyways, they used to, you couldn't have your phones out when you were watching the movie. 0.99

02:13:22.000 And then Sony bought them.

02:13:24.000 And now you order all of your food on your phone.

02:13:26.000 So it went from no phones in the theater to everyone has their phone out at all.

02:13:30.000 They almost realized that.

02:13:31.000 When we do our reviews, I just sit in the way back because I take notes on my phone because I do reviews for them.

02:13:38.000 So I was like, I don't want to be in a place where I'm annoying anybody.

02:13:41.000 So I have to sit in the back corner by the wall.

02:13:43.000 Yeah.

02:13:44.000 Pushed up like this with my phone brightness on zero.

02:13:46.000 Not allowed to enjoy it because you're working.

02:13:49.000 That's true.

02:13:50.000 The movies I've enjoyed the most were the ones I wasn't intending to review.

02:13:53.000 Go watch The Sheep Detectives on Amazon Prime.

02:13:55.000 Best movie this year.

02:13:57.000 They cut out the Cyclops joke.

02:13:58.000 That was the most important thing from The Odyssey.

02:14:01.000 No.

02:14:01.000 You know the joke?

02:14:03.000 He's attacking.

02:14:04.000 The Cyclops ask him his name.

02:14:05.000 He says, Nobody.

02:14:06.000 And then when he attacks the Cyclops, and then he's like blinded, and the other Cyclopses are like, Who's attacking you?

02:14:11.000 He says, Nobody.

02:14:11.000 And they're like, Oh, okay.

02:14:12.000 Oh, yeah.

02:14:13.000 That's not in the movie.

02:14:14.000 If you want to hear more stories like that, I did a video last week going in depth.

02:14:18.000 About how the Odyssey holds up as an adaptation with YouTuber Kino Corner.

02:14:22.000 It's really, really good.

02:14:23.000 You should go check it out on the PCC YouTube.

02:14:26.000 There you go.

02:14:27.000 All right, let's get some koalas.

02:14:30.000 We got a frozen Discord app.

02:14:33.000 Attorney, mean general Shane H. Wilder.

02:14:33.000 All right, here we go.

02:14:36.000 Hey, Shane H. Wilder.

02:14:37.000 I'm waiting for this one to catch up with my button clicks.

02:14:39.000 Hey, hey guys, how's it going?

02:14:42.000 Oh man, I hear from you.

02:14:42.000 It's going.

02:14:45.000 All right, well, I'm going to get right into it.

02:14:47.000 This one is for Will, but anyone who wants to wax poetic on it can.

02:14:55.000 Will, as you are a Texan who is on board with AI for small business, I was curious how you felt about the regulations Governor Greg Abbott is trying to get passed.

02:15:07.000 That would prevent data centers from setting up in rural Texas and have the Public Utilities Commission and ERCOT require that data centers fully fund their own electric infrastructure, not drain water supplies, and add to Texas electric capacity instead of increasing demand?

02:15:33.000 That's a good question.

02:15:34.000 I think on the surface, you don't want it to completely nuke the power grid, and we already have an unregulated and pretty brittle one.

02:15:41.000 At the same time, I think we do want to be very much pro data center, at least my personal view, to the degree that we're competing against China on this.

02:15:50.000 I think the second thing that we've seen, at least, is that the data center build outs are pretty good for the local economies.

02:15:56.000 You know, 80% of the data center build out costs go to local electrical contractors, plumbing contractors, so on and so forth.

02:16:02.000 So it's kind of a delicate balance that you need to strike.

02:16:05.000 But yeah, I guess that's kind of first gut reaction.

02:16:12.000 Any other data center hot takes?

02:16:16.000 No.

02:16:17.000 Anyone else?

02:16:19.000 Bill had some earlier.

02:16:20.000 I mean, look, I'm, you know.

02:16:21.000 We just need more.

02:16:22.000 We need as many as we can.

02:16:23.000 I think everybody should be forced to convert at least half their private homes into a data center.

02:16:27.000 I think you should have to live in one, actually.

02:16:29.000 Yeah.

02:16:30.000 The hums.

02:16:30.000 And therapeutic, you know?

02:16:31.000 Yeah, the hums should be mandatory.

02:16:33.000 What we should do now is mandate a device in everyone's bedroom that hums at night before bed so they get used to it and then they need it.

02:16:40.000 I said, like, what, like a year ago, I said, Matan Evan needs to take his, like, we love landlords bid into we love.

02:16:46.000 Data centers because it's the next front line of things that piss people off.

02:16:50.000 I mean, look, I understand that there's a lot of people that are very critical of these things, but I do think that, you know, AI is going to be something that everybody's going to use.

02:16:59.000 And as much as like people talk about, you know, building data centers and stuff, the actual frontier models that need that massive amount of compute, they're going to be using, like, they're going to be doing like really, really cutting edge stuff.

02:17:15.000 Your average person, Your whatever your fable model is now, that's probably more than enough, yeah, like intelligence for the average person.

02:17:25.000 What people want is their phone to do what Jarvis does, but most people's lives are pretty mundane, so they want to be able to see, like, you know, hey, iPhone, go ahead and help me find this plumber or get me a good plumber or plan out this trip or book me tickets, get me the best price on a flight, etc., those kind of things, and once.

02:17:48.000 Once you're basically, once your grandmother can use AI on a phone, that's going to be like the killer app for AI.

02:17:58.000 And then, like I said, the big things like physics and medicine and stuff, data centers will be needed for that.

02:18:06.000 I'm not sure exactly how much compute is necessary for the real big cutting edge stuff.

02:18:17.000 My gut says that we don't need to have data centers everywhere.

02:18:22.000 Sure.

02:18:23.000 Particularly because I think, if I understand correctly, like they're compressing the AI and they're, I mean, my agent runs on a Mac, you know, like a Mac mini, which is pretty simple, basic kind of computer.

02:18:38.000 And I think that if I understand correctly, Apple, this next release is going to have, they're going to have a new chip in it and it's going to be running locally and keep all of your data on it.

02:18:48.000 So I don't personally, I don't think that data centers are like, The big boogeyman that some people do.

02:18:56.000 The water supply stuff, I think, is more valid because it's finite and you don't want a data center coming.

02:19:02.000 Where's the water going?

02:19:04.000 It just goes into cooling all of the.

02:19:05.000 I know, but where does the water go after it cools?

02:19:07.000 It runs off, right?

02:19:09.000 No.

02:19:09.000 No?

02:19:10.000 Where does it go?

02:19:10.000 Self contained.

02:19:12.000 I mean, so if you run water through the system to cool it off, the water just gets pretty straight back out as water.

02:19:17.000 That's why I never understand people are like, it consumes so much water.

02:19:20.000 I'm like, it doesn't eat the water.

02:19:22.000 And if the water evaporated, I guess the concern is when will the water return to the cycle?

02:19:26.000 But for the most part, Water through a computer cooling system just runs off as it's just warm water.

02:19:32.000 The energy stuff makes less sense because, like, if I think about what a data center is uniquely suited to do, it's the data center, not produce energy.

02:19:39.000 And so, there I just rely on the free markets to bring more energy onto the grid.

02:19:43.000 Yeah.

02:19:45.000 From what I understand, the hype about data centers running up people's electric prices, like, that's kind of overblown.

02:19:55.000 And as these data centers are built, Like, it's incumbent on the data centers to endear themselves to the local populations.

02:20:02.000 They're not going to go in and just like.

02:20:04.000 They're doing a bad job of that, right?

02:20:05.000 They're doing a bad job now.

02:20:06.000 It's similar to Doge.

02:20:07.000 Like, Doge had the worst PR of all time.

02:20:10.000 Yeah.

02:20:11.000 But the people that own these data centers and stuff, they're learning slowly, but they're learning.

02:20:15.000 And they're smart people that are running these places that own these things.

02:20:19.000 So they're going to figure out.

02:20:20.000 We have to figure out some way to make sure that we don't have people picketing constantly and going to their zoning boards to try and get things changed and preventing us from opening them.

02:20:31.000 I think that eventually data centers are going to end up with like small nuclear power plants built next to them.

02:20:36.000 Yeah.

02:20:36.000 You know, like the portal ones that they've been researching and stuff.

02:20:41.000 And if that happens, I wouldn't be surprised.

02:20:43.000 Data centers, you know, the amount of energy they use is like a hundred times what the local town uses.

02:20:49.000 So I wouldn't be surprised if they're just like, you know, we'll go ahead and either subsidize your power costs or they did that today.

02:20:57.000 In fact, they donated so that the county didn't have to charge property taxes for two years or something like that.

02:21:02.000 They're going to do that kind of stuff because they're, you know, When your power usage for the town is a rounding error compared to the power usage for the data center, they're just going to be like, well, give them power free.

02:21:13.000 They'll, you know, they can use our runoff to help stabilize the grid in the local area.

02:21:17.000 When you do, the water cooling system for the data center goes into underground piping into homes supplying free hot water.

02:21:26.000 Boom. 0.97

02:21:26.000 That's what they do in the old Soviet countries. 0.97

02:21:29.000 The power plant produces a lot of hot water from the runoff and it runs in pipes to all the houses.

02:21:35.000 So hot water is actually public infrastructure, it runs underground.

02:21:38.000 It's kind of like in Korea where they run the water pipes underneath the house to heat it up.

02:21:43.000 Oh, wow.

02:21:44.000 Pretty nifty.

02:21:45.000 Yeah.

02:21:46.000 Got anything you want to add, Shane?

02:21:49.000 No, I'll go and get my shout out out of the way.

02:21:53.000 I'm Shane H. Wilder in all the places.

02:21:56.000 I make memes and shorts.

02:21:58.000 My latest one was for PCC episode 1100.

02:22:01.000 I also do a weekly Sunday article where I pontificate on Catholic topics.

02:22:06.000 And next Monday at 8 30. P.M., 7 30 p.m. Central.

02:22:13.000 I will be the guest live on the Crash Cannon podcast, which has had such guests as Dr. Kalen Marshall, who I know has been on IRL, and Joe Heschmeyer.

02:22:25.000 I know it's the same time as IRL, but be bass and watch one of them on TV and the other on your phone.

02:22:31.000 With that, I'm going to give you a good night.

02:22:35.000 Thanks, bud.

02:22:35.000 Thanks for calling in, brother.

02:22:36.000 Thanks, dude.

02:22:37.000 All right.

02:22:38.000 Next up, we've got Panda Ish.

02:22:40.000 Hey, what up?

02:22:41.000 Panda Ish, what's up, man?

02:22:42.000 What up, dude?

02:22:44.000 Hey, how's it going, everybody?

02:22:46.000 Doing well.

02:22:47.000 You hear me?

02:22:48.000 Yes, I can hear you.

02:22:49.000 Oh, okay.

02:22:50.000 Brett, I got to say, you're looking mighty swell.

02:22:53.000 I haven't seen you in like a year.

02:22:55.000 I haven't been able to get on PCC, just listen to you on Spotify.

02:22:59.000 Thank you for listening.

02:23:01.000 And I must concede.

02:23:02.000 Oh, yeah, no problem.

02:23:05.000 I must concede that, yes, Michelle Obama is not a trans man, but I will not concede that she does not go by Big Mike.

02:23:14.000 Fair enough. 0.87

02:23:17.000 So, serious question.

02:23:19.000 When Trump was talking about the illegal voting, he also mentioned that people, staffers were hiding information about China interfering, not only through his administration, but also through Biden's.

02:23:35.000 Do you think his DOJ is actually trying to bring these people up on treason charges?

02:23:40.000 And if so, should they be charged with the death penalty?

02:23:44.000 Well, the treason has a corresponding.

02:23:50.000 Sentence that generally people get.

02:23:52.000 Now, whether Trump will do anything like that, I doubt it.

02:23:55.000 Honestly, if you get Fauci, I don't know if anybody's getting brought up on treason charges.

02:23:59.000 Whether people deserve it is a different question as to whether or not anything will be done about it.

02:24:04.000 And the answer is always nothing will be done about it, it seems, which is frustrating, but it's also likely the case.

02:24:12.000 I think nothing getting done about anything is just worse now in the age of instant news and access.

02:24:17.000 Like before, you watched the news at 5 p.m., maybe when you were done with work, so the world felt like it moved slower.

02:24:24.000 Now it's like you're looking at the news all the time.

02:24:27.000 So the injustice of nothing getting done is kind of omnipresent in your day.

02:24:32.000 And then if something does get done, it's so long after the fact that you're just like, you stopped being angry about it.

02:24:39.000 Like you're enraged for a day or two.

02:24:41.000 And then there's a new thing to be enraged about.

02:24:42.000 So when there's some kind of resolution where someone actually would be charged, you know, would get some kind of penalty, you're just like, oh, all right, that happened.

02:24:52.000 And the other question is like, how much is the rapid news?

02:24:55.000 Preventing things from getting done because the people who are supposed to do stuff are just spending all their day firefighting news into a terrible cycle.

02:25:05.000 Yeah, I wish that I had a better outlook on it, but I mean, based on what we've seen historically, it doesn't look like anything's going to get done.

02:25:14.000 I think that's the distillation when we make the joke about nothing, not nothing ever happens, but nothing ever changes, is that it's all kind of, it feels, even if it's not, even though, even if it's not necessarily true.

02:25:27.000 It feels a lot of times like nothing really changes.

02:25:30.000 You got to manifest the civil war.

02:25:31.000 You're not trying hard enough.

02:25:32.000 Is that what it is?

02:25:33.000 Yeah, you got to manifest it.

02:25:35.000 I don't manifest.

02:25:36.000 Sorry.

02:25:37.000 Well, you know.

02:25:40.000 Yeah.

02:25:41.000 Got anything you want to add?

02:25:44.000 Yeah.

02:25:46.000 For Tim, two culture wars I would suggest people that you should talk to is Dustin from Smarter Every Day and have Ian on the show because he actually built a manufacturing.

02:26:00.000 In America, of American stuff for a grill.

02:26:04.000 And then, you know, he could talk about capitalism, about that too, and everything that you've been discussing about manufacturing in America.

02:26:12.000 Like I said, his podcast is smarter every day.

02:26:14.000 He's got like three subscribers. 0.84

02:26:18.000 And then another one I would suggest if you could do a culture war with Nuxinor, Kirsha, Leaflet, and Powder, just so that, you know, you could just do a FaceTime one so that they all could just be their VTuber selves.

02:26:32.000 But I mean, they were all semi leftist, you know, moderate libs before they're just like, wow, the world is really, you know, is.

02:26:41.000 Screwed up, but those will be like two great culture warriors.

02:26:45.000 I'm pretty sure you get a lot of viewers on.

02:26:46.000 Culture War is our debate show, and then the Tim Pool show is not going to be the sit down interviews, which we just put up our first on Sunday with Lily Tang Williams.

02:26:56.000 We've got all sides coming up, Jason Ellis coming up.

02:26:59.000 I think we're gonna get Garrett Adelstein too.

02:27:01.000 So these are all like not politics at all.

02:27:03.000 Yeah, Destin.

02:27:04.000 A funny story about him when he was making that grill brush, he couldn't find he was trying to make it all with made in America parts, he couldn't find a steel, a quarter inch steel nut.

02:27:12.000 Oh, so he made his own new company.

02:27:15.000 And his name's Dustin, called these nuts.

02:27:18.000 And they're made in America, steel nuts.

02:27:20.000 We're having trouble with our skateboards because all our factories keep shutting down.

02:27:24.000 We are one of the highest selling skateboard companies in the country, and the American manufacturer is all going out of business.

02:27:30.000 So it's like we lost one, switched to another.

02:27:32.000 I think we've lost three so far.

02:27:34.000 Where do the majority of the boards get made? 1.00

02:27:37.000 China.

02:27:38.000 So we are like, now we're going to be America only, but now our American manufacturers, two of them are shut down.

02:27:43.000 Yeah.

02:27:44.000 And so they're like, go to China.

02:27:45.000 And we're like, Sounds like we literally have no choice.

02:27:48.000 We don't sell enough skateboards domestically to open a skateboard manufacturer.

02:27:52.000 Like, we can't open a warehouse to do skateboard construction.

02:27:56.000 Yeah.

02:27:56.000 And the ones, I guess, nobody has the volume to stay in business except for China.

02:28:00.000 It's the same thing for in the blading industry.

02:28:03.000 It's like it all has to come from China.

02:28:05.000 Like, there's some that are done in Italy, but for the most part, it's all China. 0.89

02:28:09.000 Yep. 1.00

02:28:10.000 Right on, man.

02:28:10.000 You want to shout anything out?

02:28:11.000 Or was that it?

02:28:13.000 Just the Discord, you know, hang out after the show.

02:28:18.000 Thanks, guys.

02:28:18.000 Right on.

02:28:19.000 Thanks for calling in.

02:28:20.000 Cheers, man.

02:28:20.000 Thanks for calling.

02:28:22.000 Last but not least, we've got Mellow Maverick.

02:28:22.000 All right.

02:28:27.000 What's up?

02:28:28.000 Evening, everyone.

02:28:28.000 How are all of you?

02:28:29.000 What's going on, man?

02:28:30.000 All going well.

02:28:32.000 All right.

02:28:34.000 Tim, for the past several months, you've alluded to a rather dystopian future we're heading towards.

02:28:41.000 And it coincides rather well with the storytelling of the Judge Dredd comics, everyone living in apartments.

02:28:50.000 Getting plugged into machines, being in a lottery to get a job to alleviate boredom, but no one's really working.

02:28:58.000 At what point do you think we're going to be having judges and lawgivers on the streets?

02:29:02.000 When Carl Urban does that.

02:29:03.000 They're not going to be people.

02:29:04.000 They're going to be robots.

02:29:05.000 And like these dystopian movies where Elysium did this, where the robots, like probation extended.

02:29:13.000 And he's like, wait, this is a mistake.

02:29:14.000 And it's like, goodbye.

02:29:15.000 I think we're very close to that.

02:29:16.000 Very, very close.

02:29:17.000 Because we're already seeing with the flock cameras.

02:29:19.000 Cop shows up to your house and goes, look, I don't know.

02:29:20.000 The flock cameras said you committed a crime.

02:29:21.000 You're under arrest.

02:29:22.000 And they're like, but I have proof I didn't.

02:29:24.000 The guy goes, I don't know.

02:29:25.000 It's not my job.

02:29:26.000 My job is just to do what the robot says to do.

02:29:28.000 And then the conservative says, like, just fight it in court.

02:29:31.000 Because if you fight back now, you're going to.

02:29:33.000 And then you're going to go to court.

02:29:34.000 It's going to be a robot.

02:29:34.000 Yeah.

02:29:36.000 It's going to be an AI camera being like, the camera has concluded it was you.

02:29:39.000 To be fair, it is smarter to fight it in court than to fight the cops.

02:29:39.000 You're guilty.

02:29:42.000 Oh, absolutely.

02:29:42.000 Yes.

02:29:43.000 Yes, but not when the courts are all automated.

02:29:45.000 Well, then I guess I'll just die.

02:29:49.000 Guess I'll just die then. 1.00

02:29:49.000 Yep. 1.00

02:29:50.000 Because fighting robots.

02:29:52.000 People are going to wear the fake face pieces that trick AI all the time.

02:29:56.000 Oh, yeah.

02:29:57.000 I'm going to start doing it now, man.

02:29:58.000 I like the thing where they said it gives you the ring that has a sixth finger on it, says go commit a crime.

02:30:05.000 And then when they try to pin it in the ring, they'll think it's AI.

02:30:08.000 That wouldn't even work anymore because the AI is so good, it gets the hands right mostly.

02:30:12.000 Yeah, but people believe that.

02:30:14.000 So, if you did commit a crime and you wore like a fake eye and like a weird nose thing and then added like a fake finger right here, you could be like, that's not even a real photograph.

02:30:23.000 And the jury's going to be like, You're going to say to the jury, your defense is going to say, Is the argument literally that my client intending to rob this bank attached a fake finger and eye to his hand and face for the purpose of when he gets caught?

02:30:38.000 Wouldn't the presumption be he's not going to get caught?

02:30:41.000 That was literally a plot.

02:30:42.000 I forget the show where they, I guess this writer got a story from like an old school cop who said, like, the play back in the 70s would be like the cop would come in with like a clown mask on and beat you with a phone book. 0.96

02:30:54.000 That way, if you told on him, be like, he walked in with a clown mask and beat the shit out of me with a phone book. 0.96

02:30:59.000 Like, that's insane. 0.99

02:31:00.000 This is what I can't stand about monster movies.

02:31:03.000 The people being chased by the vampire call the police and go, I don't know what it says, but it was a vampire.

02:31:08.000 And they're like, nah, haha.

02:31:09.000 And I'm like, I just can't stand it.

02:31:10.000 Give me one movie.

02:31:12.000 Where they get attacked by a vampire and they go, like a large animal.

02:31:15.000 Can you send animal control and some police?

02:31:15.000 I think it was a bear.

02:31:17.000 They'll go right away.

02:31:19.000 And then when they're being attacked by the vampire, the cops show up and they're like, Where's it?

02:31:21.000 I guess outside somewhere.

02:31:22.000 Can I get in your car and leave with you?

02:31:23.000 And then they do.

02:31:24.000 And the movie's over.

02:31:25.000 In fact, let's make that short film.

02:31:26.000 Yeah, it'd be very short.

02:31:28.000 Be like, What?

02:31:28.000 It's like a werewolf is attacking.

02:31:30.000 And then one person calls the cops, I'm being attacked by a werewolf. 1.00

02:31:33.000 And they go, Shut the fuck up. 1.00

02:31:34.000 Then they get mauled to death. 1.00

02:31:35.000 Then, like a day later, there's a werewolf attacking.

02:31:37.000 Luddy goes, There's a bear in my backyard.

02:31:39.000 I need police.

02:31:40.000 And they go, We'll be right there.

02:31:41.000 There's probably at least a couple episodes of Grimm that did something similar to that.

02:31:48.000 Or just a wolf, yeah.

02:31:49.000 There's a wolf in my yard.

02:31:50.000 It's very large.

02:31:51.000 It's not a where kind.

02:31:53.000 I don't know why there's a wolf in my yard, but it's here.

02:31:56.000 Indeed.

02:31:57.000 You could make that in a couple days.

02:32:02.000 It'd be simple.

02:32:02.000 Yeah.

02:32:04.000 We need to get a filmer.

02:32:05.000 Oh.

02:32:07.000 Does that answer your question?

02:32:08.000 Or is there anything you wanted to add?

02:32:12.000 Vein of monsters and flock cameras.

02:32:15.000 Glenn Jacobs, the former Kane of WWE, has said he doesn't want flock cameras in his township.

02:32:21.000 And then in New York, Mayor Oferode, her city council, to keep them in place.

02:32:27.000 Yep.

02:32:27.000 Yeah.

02:32:29.000 I mean, there's a lot of people that don't like them at all, and I don't blame them.

02:32:34.000 The problem isn't so much the cameras because there's cameras everywhere, it's the software behind it, it's the AI stuff, the fact that they, you know, match your face.

02:32:43.000 Wherever you're going and stuff.

02:32:45.000 I think that the idea of getting facial recognition defeating masks is probably going to become something that's more popular in the future.

02:32:54.000 But yeah, I mean, municipalities, some will say they don't want it.

02:32:58.000 But if the state itself says, hey, we want these everywhere, then you're going to have to deal with state legislators.

02:33:08.000 I don't think the federal government is going to do that.

02:33:10.000 But then again, the federal government might say, well, we can put them on the highway system and et cetera.

02:33:15.000 And, you know.

02:33:17.000 So, got anything you want to shout out?

02:33:23.000 No, thank you very much, gentlemen.

02:33:24.000 Have a good evening.

02:33:26.000 Thanks for calling in.

02:33:26.000 Well, this was a pretty quick day.

02:33:30.000 Sure, one tonight.

02:33:31.000 We're back tomorrow.

02:33:33.000 We got John Root joining us.

02:33:36.000 We got an interesting one throughout the week.

02:33:38.000 It was John Root.

02:33:39.000 Will, it's been great to have you.

02:33:40.000 Thanks for having me, Tim.

02:33:41.000 Absolutely.

02:33:42.000 For everybody else, we're back tomorrow.

02:33:44.000 Thank you all so much for hanging out.

02:33:45.000 We'll see you in the morning.
