Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Democrat RAIDED After He's CAUGHT Harboring TERRORIST TdA Member, Wife ARRESTED

00:02:18.000 The story is currently breaking and developments are still coming in, but news broke the other day that a Democrat judge in New Mexico was harboring a terrorist TDA member.

00:02:29.000 Now his home has been raided.

00:02:32.000 He was detained.

00:02:33.000 The initial reports were that he was arrested, but it now appears that he was only detained.

00:02:38.000 He was released, but his wife has been arrested and is in ICE custody.

00:02:44.000 I don't know what that means.

00:02:46.000 I mean, is his wife an illegal immigrant?

00:02:47.000 What's going on?

00:02:48.000 And, well, the question then becomes, why are Democrats so hell-bent on defending cartel members, narco gangs, and illegal immigrants in general?

00:02:57.000 And I think it's fair to say because this is them, their family members, the people they work with, and in some instances it appears to be members of terrorist organizations.

00:03:08.000 And I say that not lightly because I'm not a fan of the old the terrorists are going to get you thing, but we're talking about criminal gangs.

00:03:14.000 That murder politicians who defy their interests.

00:03:18.000 And so this is political. 0.90

00:03:19.000 When you try to run for office against them, they kill you.

00:03:22.000 This is terrorism.

00:03:23.000 And that's why the president has ruled as such.

00:03:25.000 So this story is currently breaking right now.

00:03:27.000 It is absolutely crazy.

00:03:29.000 We're going to go through this.

00:03:30.000 And we do have a bunch more.

00:03:31.000 There's some rumors about Pete Hegseth losing another individual from the DOD.

00:03:35.000 But I've got to be honest, I don't know how much I actually believe.

00:03:37.000 We'll get into that.

00:03:38.000 And then, you know, some people may not want us to talk about it, but I do.

00:03:42.000 So Larry David wrote this op-ed

00:03:44.000 Bill Maher for meeting with Donald Trump and likening it to him meeting with Hitler.

00:03:49.000 And yeah, Larry David apparently has Trump derangement syndrome.

00:03:52.000 But I do think there's an interesting commentary here now that Bill Maher is losing his mind over this.

00:03:55.000 We'll get into that.

00:03:56.000 Before we do, my friends, make sure you check out Kalshi.com.

00:04:00.000 That is K-A-L-S-H-I.com. 0.98

00:04:04.000 You will get $10 credit.

00:04:09.000 When you trade $100 on Kalshi at Kalshi.com.

00:04:12.000 We like to use Kalshi.

00:04:13.000 It's a prediction market.

00:04:15.000 You can go and basically buy event predictions.

00:04:18.000 So in this instance, we got this one pulled up because this is big news of the Canadian election.

00:04:21.000 You can see that the Liberal Party has an 85% chance to win versus Pierre Paliyev with the Conservative Party at 15%.

00:04:28.000 He's been dropping dramatically.

00:04:29.000 And a lot of people are bummed on that.

00:04:31.000 But this is something we call the wisdom of the crowds.

00:04:34.000 That is, when enough people come together...

00:04:37.000 And then make a prediction, you actually see a tendency towards it being correct.

00:04:41.000 Not always, but maybe it could be 60%, 70%.

00:04:43.000 In this instance, Kalshi's been pretty spot on in these prediction markets.

00:04:48.000 You may have noticed during the election when we were using Kalshi to track the predictions because, well, first of all, I'd say people who know stuff put their money where their mouth is.

00:04:56.000 So if someone's got an inside baseball in this, they're going to be betting on it, trying to win money.

00:05:00.000 But simply...

00:05:01.000 Most people have a general idea of where things are going based on how they're going to vote, how others are going to vote.

00:05:05.000 So you can check out CallShe.com.

00:05:07.000 They've got a bunch of other stuff.

00:05:08.000 And of course, when they're showing the Liberal Party to win, actually that's where the news is trending.

00:05:13.000 They say it's carnies to lose in the Canadian election.

00:05:17.000 So we will see.

00:05:19.000 But shout out to CallShe. 0.99

00:06:15.000 I have a show out on YouTube now, Global View.

00:06:18.000 I worked on a lot of political documentaries over the last six years in L.A., including All the President's Men on TCN, Tiger Carlson Network.

00:06:31.000 Right on.

00:06:32.000 Well, it should be fun.

00:06:33.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:06:33.000 Mary's hanging out.

00:06:34.000 Hi, everyone.

00:06:35.000 My name is Mary Morgan.

00:06:36.000 You can usually find me on Pop Culture Crisis here at TimCast.

00:06:41.000 Happy to be here.

00:06:43.000 Hello, everybody.

00:06:44.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:06:44.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:06:46.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:06:48.000 Let's go.

00:06:49.000 Here's the news from KTSM.

00:06:52.000 Check this out.

00:06:53.000 New Mexico judge's wife in ICE custody following alleged Trende Aragua member investigation.

00:06:59.000 So we've got a bunch of different stories on this already.

00:07:02.000 And this story's been evolving.

00:07:04.000 Look at this one from KFOX14.

00:07:06.000 Home of ex-judge raided after claims of hosting Trende Aragua gang member in Las Cruces.

00:07:12.000 So this is a guy, my understanding, he was a judge and he resigned after they found he was harboring a Trende Aragua dude.

00:07:18.000 And then we've got this from Wid Linman that originally reported that he was arrested, detained slash arrested.

00:07:26.000 And you can see in this video, check this out.

00:07:27.000 You can see that they got his wife.

00:07:31.000 Ice is arresting his wife.

00:07:33.000 I don't know why.

00:07:34.000 Maybe she's an illegal immigrant or something. 1.00

00:07:36.000 And then you can see the judge himself is in cuffs.

00:07:39.000 I think that's what led to most people believing that he was getting arrested.

00:07:41.000 But apparently he has been released.

00:07:43.000 That's the latest update.

00:07:45.000 And they do have his wife in custody.

00:07:47.000 So we don't know much more beyond this.

00:07:51.000 But I will say...

00:07:53.000 Actually, I should add to this.

00:07:56.000 Judge Joel Cano is banned from the New Mexico Supreme Court.

00:08:02.000 So they're saying alleged.

00:08:04.000 We can see this photo that's gone viral, claiming to be him with this TDA gang member.

00:08:10.000 Yeah, I'm going to say it.

00:08:13.000 If you're wondering why Democrats are so hell-bent on defending MS-13, Trende Aragua illegal immigrants, I think, in some instances, they may be family.

00:08:24.000 I think in some instances they may be in on the take.

00:08:27.000 I don't think like Senator Van Hollen is getting paid off or whatever.

00:08:30.000 But I think at the granular level, the reason why we're seeing a New Mexico judge who they reported is a Democratic judge.

00:08:38.000 He's being detained and his wife being arrested.

00:08:41.000 And they're harboring this guy in their home.

00:08:43.000 That's the allegation.

00:08:44.000 I think along the border especially and in sanctuary states, what you're going to find is something Trump has been referring to them as homegrown terrorists.

00:08:53.000 These are, MS-13 comes into this country, they have kids, those kids grow up, and they're friends and family members with other people.

00:09:03.000 These older people may then, through either a path of citizenship or otherwise, get positions of power in local government.

00:09:10.000 And when we're dealing with a 20 or 30 year problem, I don't think anyone should be surprised to find that there are...

00:09:18.000 TDA, MS-13, and other narco gang-affiliated individuals working in the judiciary or in police.

00:09:25.000 There were reports a few years ago.

00:09:27.000 MS-13 was actually in our armed forces because they intentionally enlist to get in and build that influence.

00:09:33.000 So this is kind of freaky.

00:09:35.000 I don't know what you guys think.

00:09:36.000 You think Democrats are in on the take?

00:09:38.000 I'm not so sure.

00:09:39.000 I don't have a sense whether they're in on the take, but it does make sense that...

00:09:44.000 People in gangs would do what they can to make contacts with people in the judiciary, people in law enforcement.

00:09:52.000 I just wanted to add that maybe it's more of like an in-law situation because it sounds to me, based on this detail, that this guy might have been dating the judge's daughter.

00:10:05.000 Really? I don't know.

00:10:06.000 I'm reading into it too much, but it says, according to a press release from the Justice Department, investigators found social media posts depicting Ortega Lopez posing with multiple guns, some of which were allegedly supplied by April Kano, is that how you say it?

00:10:21.000 The judge's daughter, who allowed him to hold and sometimes shoot various firearms, the agency said, which I would guess...

00:10:29.000 Belonged to her.

00:10:30.000 And I just don't know why that would ever happen unless they were friends or boyfriend and girlfriend.

00:10:35.000 Now imagine this.

00:10:36.000 And living in the guest house as well.

00:10:38.000 Together. You're a judge.

00:10:41.000 And, you know, what?

00:10:42.000 Like, I don't know, is he like a district judge or like a local judge or something?

00:10:45.000 And your daughter's got a guy who's coming around and you find out he's TDA or MS-13 or something.

00:10:51.000 You're going to go out and do everything in your power to be like, no, Trump is bad.

00:10:54.000 Don't investigate this for any reason.

00:10:56.000 Please stop.

00:10:57.000 Because you're like, uh-oh.

00:10:58.000 Some biases, obviously.

00:11:00.000 That's the family connection I'm talking about.

00:11:02.000 Maybe that's a little lighter, like his daughter met a TDA guy and she brought him over and he was like, I'm totally okay with this.

00:11:08.000 Or he could at least claim ignorance after the fact.

00:11:12.000 Maybe they'd be like, I didn't even know he was living in the guest house.

00:11:15.000 We just saw that our electricity bill was going up or something.

00:11:18.000 Why is the wife getting arrested? 1.00

00:11:20.000 That is weird.

00:11:21.000 So if they were engaging in criminal activity as accomplices to the gang member, They would be just arrested by their local police.

00:11:30.000 If she was picked up by ICE, it would lead you to believe that there is something to do with immigration.

00:11:38.000 It's being reported that this is a tenant of theirs.

00:11:41.000 And they said that the wife of a former judge was taken into custody after federal law enforcement learned their tenant, who was an alleged Trendy Aragua member, was arrested at the judge's home.

00:11:55.000 They say on April 24th, ICE executed a search warrant and probable cause arrest at a residence in the address Homeland Security investigation special agents working with federal law.

00:12:06.000 So, did that say that the...

00:12:16.000 The parents knew that he was allegedly?

00:12:19.000 No. If that's the case, if that's the case, if he got arrested or whatever, they should have gone, if they were not complicit or whatever, they would have gone directly to the law enforcement.

00:12:30.000 It goes on to say, as we previously reported, former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano rented out his casita to Cristian Ortega Lopez at the behest of his wife last year.

00:12:40.000 They met Ortega Lopez when his wife hired him to do housework, according to a criminal complaint.

00:12:45.000 According to court documents obtained by KTSM, the Supreme Court and Third Judicial District Court received his resignation letter March 31st.

00:12:52.000 So this is like a month ago.

00:12:54.000 They say it's unknown if Kano's wife knew of the gang affiliation.

00:12:58.000 I doubt that.

00:12:59.000 Well, his daughter sure did.

00:13:01.000 I mean, if they were shooting guns and doing a bunch of stuff, I want to say it's a guarantee because people are allowed to shoot guns, but that kind of...

00:13:08.000 He's not.

00:13:09.000 He's not allowed to possess or use them.

00:13:12.000 I'm allowed to be here.

00:13:13.000 I'm sure he has a criminal record, too.

00:13:14.000 It wouldn't be that difficult to do a simple background check considering the guy's a judge and the criminals living with them.

00:13:21.000 Do you think they were under duress, possibly?

00:13:24.000 Having to shelter this guy under threat?

00:13:26.000 I will tell you this.

00:13:29.000 I do have some sympathy.

00:13:31.000 If you are like a local judge and TDA comes to you and says, we're going to hurt your children and your families who do what we're told.

00:13:36.000 I do sympathize.

00:13:38.000 But then if you decide to help them, you go to prison for that.

00:13:41.000 Yeah. I mean, I'm sorry.

00:13:42.000 Like, you know, we watch movies and the kidnapper, he's like, if you go to the police, I'll kill your daughter.

00:13:49.000 And I'm like, you should call the police.

00:13:51.000 What do you think you're going to do by yourself?

00:13:53.000 I don't want to tell you.

00:13:55.000 This judge has zero excuse.

00:13:58.000 Zero. Absolutely.

00:13:59.000 Former judge, I guess.

00:14:01.000 This Democrat.

00:14:04.000 I like the way that sounds.

00:14:06.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't see how he hasn't made everything worse for himself.

00:14:12.000 If you're a judge, you definitely have the ability to do a background check like we were talking about.

00:14:19.000 I'm sure that he has plenty of friends in law enforcement.

00:14:25.000 His wife got picked up for a reason. 1.00

00:14:27.000 I don't know for sure that she's here illegally, but... 1.00

00:14:30.000 I imagine if ICE is picking her up, maybe they're going to...

00:14:35.000 She was aiding and abetting people crossings.

00:14:37.000 But even still, that wouldn't be immigration.

00:14:39.000 It would still be regular law enforcement.

00:14:42.000 The only thing that ICE is for is for immigration.

00:14:45.000 Unless they're picking her up for the other cops... 0.92

00:14:49.000 I think people need to consider something when we're seeing this story.

00:14:53.000 That if you're wondering how sanctuary cities operate, it's not like Gavin Newsom sits there and picks up his gavel and then...

00:15:00.000 Bangs it and says, no more arresting illegal immigrants.

00:15:03.000 It's that when you let in, I think at this point, the estimates are upwards of 40 million illegal immigrants.

00:15:09.000 Because I'm not talking about the past fours.

00:15:11.000 I'm talking about of all time.

00:15:13.000 They are going to have family and friends and positions of power.

00:15:16.000 And that is root corruption.

00:15:18.000 And then you're going to have a cop or a judge.

00:15:20.000 And they're going to have friends and they're going to have family members.

00:15:23.000 And so when they come across the illegal immigrant and they're like, hey, I'm from this place. 0.94

00:15:28.000 Don't arrest me.

00:15:28.000 The guy goes, you got it, buddy.

00:15:29.000 Stay safe out there.

00:15:30.000 This is the destruction of American community. 0.88

00:15:34.000 We talked about this with Reagan's amnesty back in, I think it was like the 80s or whatever.

00:15:38.000 You had a bunch of people who came to this country illegally. 0.98

00:15:43.000 Reagan gave them an amnesty.

00:15:45.000 And then when they had children, those kids were presented with a proposition to strip public funds from illegal immigrants.

00:15:52.000 They wouldn't be able to receive public benefits.

00:15:55.000 This was the last time, I forget what year it was, but this was the last time that California voted Republican.

00:15:59.000 Because all of these children of illegal immigrants said, okay, then we vote Democrat because we want public funding for illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:16:06.000 And then California's been blue ever since.

00:16:08.000 It's kind of the same thing with the Dreamers, too.

00:16:09.000 I think that's why that's such a hot topic and why it's such a sensitive topic and why the Democrats are so invested in that vis-a-vis the Republicans.

00:16:16.000 It's their investment.

00:16:17.000 So a friend of mine just actually sent me a message and said that sometimes there are customs violations that ICE will pick people up for.

00:16:24.000 Now, I'm not sure what kind of violation she might have had.

00:16:27.000 He's a former law enforcement as well.

00:16:30.000 I kind of think they arrested her because she was harboring an illegal immigrant at the minimum and a Trendy Aragua member at the worst. 1.00

00:16:38.000 Actually, not at the worst.

00:16:39.000 The worst could be that she's in TDA as well, I guess.

00:16:42.000 If that were the case, then the police would arrest her, so it's quite strange.

00:16:49.000 I just want to...

00:16:50.000 Kind of vent about something.

00:16:52.000 Earlier today, I saw a tweet from the White House account on X, and it was about Abrego Garcia, actually, not this situation.

00:17:05.000 And it was this, like, AI-generated four-panel cartoon, and the caption was like, cross illegally and join a gang, get deported.

00:17:17.000 And end of story.

00:17:19.000 And I just don't understand why it needs to get to that point where someone is committing monstrous crimes.

00:17:26.000 Other than illegally crossing for us to justify deporting them, why does it need to be you're literally MS-13 for us to feel okay about deporting you?

00:17:37.000 Just send them all home. 0.53

00:17:38.000 Why is the bar so low?

00:17:40.000 I feel like our expectations are being set so low for what they're capable of doing.

00:17:45.000 And we were promised and we mandated mass deportations.

00:17:51.000 Not deportations of just gang criminals.

00:17:54.000 Well, you know, if you look at when I watch Fox and Friends in the morning, you know, I wake up, I'm making waffles for the wife and the baby, and then I put on Fox and Friends.

00:18:03.000 There's these commercials with Kristi Noem where she's like, leave now or else.

00:18:08.000 And, you know, the real thing is they say is you can leave now and then reapply to come back legally, and you can.

00:18:15.000 But if you get caught here, then you're banned for life.

00:18:18.000 Yeah, I feel like that's also...

00:18:19.000 Pretty low bar.

00:18:20.000 Like, leave and then come back?

00:18:22.000 I don't want them to come back.

00:18:24.000 You know, I kind of don't think they will.

00:18:26.000 They're disrespecting our laws.

00:18:27.000 You know, like, my attitude is, you know, the Trump administration is like, if you leave now, we promise you'll come back.

00:18:34.000 And then as soon as you walk out, they just close the door and lock it.

00:18:35.000 Is that the plan?

00:18:37.000 Do I need to trust it?

00:18:38.000 Is that the plan that I need to trust?

00:18:39.000 Well, you wouldn't trust it anyway.

00:18:40.000 I wouldn't trust it anyway, but...

00:18:42.000 To be honest, you look at David Hogg and the DNC, and he said, we're going to put $20 million into primarying old incumbents who need to get out of the way.

00:18:52.000 You should retire now before we come after you.

00:18:55.000 And what happened?

00:18:55.000 Dick Durbin says, I quit.

00:18:57.000 It's the smart thing to do to say, it's like, this leave and then you can maybe come back later, it probably gets rid of the largest amount of illegal immigrants because they fear getting banned for life. 0.93

00:19:09.000 I don't know.

00:19:10.000 Call me naive, but I just thought mass deportations meant interior removals by millions.

00:19:17.000 Who does it?

00:19:17.000 And that's not really happening.

00:19:19.000 Who does it?

00:19:20.000 I think that's what all the ICE symbolics was, with Dr. Phil, with Chrissy Noem, going on those hunts in the city of Chicago and other big cities around the country.

00:19:30.000 I think that's kind of what that was about.

00:19:32.000 Here's the reality.

00:19:33.000 Mass physical removal is impossible.

00:19:36.000 You're talking millions of people.

00:19:37.000 Why would it be promised then?

00:19:40.000 Well, because they didn't promise you that.

00:19:42.000 You just think they did.

00:19:44.000 Well, yeah, that actually is true, because if you read between the lines or you listened between the lines, they were always saying, we're focusing on the criminals.

00:19:53.000 Indeed. Even though they're all criminals, but the violent criminals.

00:19:56.000 And they also did say, and are saying today, self-deportation will be the most effective means of removal.

00:20:02.000 And I mean, that may be true.

00:20:05.000 But they have to apply pressure to the people that are hiring illegals? 0.72

00:20:08.000 How do we even track those results?

00:20:11.000 Which ones?

00:20:12.000 Self-deportations?

00:20:13.000 Self-deportations.

00:20:13.000 It seems like something you can't even quantify by the end of this administration.

00:20:17.000 You know, I gotta be honest, I think it might be impossible.

00:20:19.000 Especially, here's what we're looking at right now.

00:20:22.000 The Trump administration's got, what, a year?

00:20:25.000 Before squishy Republicans start crying?

00:20:27.000 Because the children of illegal immigrants are demanding. 1.00

00:20:30.000 They defend illegal immigrants. 0.97

00:20:32.000 And I mean, you know, with all due respect, we've had members of Timcast call in and say, like, a family member's an illegal immigrant.

00:20:40.000 They're getting deported.

00:20:41.000 What do I do?

00:20:41.000 And I say, you can go home.

00:20:44.000 Like, you can bring your family home.

00:20:45.000 This is what we've been talking about.

00:20:48.000 You don't get to break our laws and take from the American people.

00:20:50.000 It's just not a reality.

00:20:51.000 But you got a year.

00:20:53.000 At the same time, judges are issuing...

00:20:57.000 Rogue judges are issuing unconstitutional orders.

00:21:00.000 You've got the media lying about due process.

00:21:04.000 The new narrative that they're pushing is that Trump wants to strip trials away from illegal immigrants.

00:21:09.000 This may shock you.

00:21:11.000 Illegal immigrants never received trials.

00:21:13.000 There is no trial due process for illegal immigrants. 0.99

00:21:16.000 Never existed.

00:21:17.000 And so they're lying because they're trying to stop Trump from being able to deport.

00:21:22.000 A rogue judge will then enforce that. 0.56

00:21:23.000 And then...

00:21:25.000 Trump deports what?

00:21:26.000 Maybe a couple hundred thousand before he's out of office?

00:21:29.000 Just for clarity, the narrative that they're pushing about...

00:21:34.000 about due process.

00:21:36.000 They're conflating illegals with people that are here looking for asylum.

00:21:42.000 Asylees get a hearing about their asylum claims.

00:21:45.000 Illegals just get sent out. 1.00

00:21:47.000 But the Democrats are perfectly comfortable conflating those two things so that way the American public is confused.

00:21:53.000 Technically correct, but that's under Biden when he changed the rules.

00:21:57.000 The actual rules, if you go to the immigration website, and as they've always been, is if you enter the country illegally...

00:22:03.000 Outside of a port of entry, then you are subject to expedited removal.

00:22:08.000 What Joe Biden changed was he said, no, no, not if they say asylum.

00:22:11.000 They made that app where people would go and before they came, they felt the app illegally enter the country and they'd say, no, no, nope, I'm an asylum seeker.

00:22:20.000 And then they'd get shuffled off to some registration center or something and they'd say, okay, we'll give you a court date for your asylum.

00:22:28.000 Then as soon as you left, they'd throw it in the garbage and say, never come back.

00:22:31.000 So they were creating de facto permanent residence for these people.

00:22:36.000 That's illegal.

00:22:36.000 That's unconstitutional.

00:22:37.000 That is criminal.

00:22:39.000 Now, under the Trump administration, they're going back to expedited removal.

00:22:42.000 That's why we're seeing the border locked down.

00:22:45.000 It's going to be tough.

00:22:46.000 Let me jump to this story right here.

00:22:47.000 We have this from ABC News.

00:22:49.000 This is from the other day.

00:22:50.000 Trump says, can't have a trial for all migrants he wants to deport.

00:22:54.000 Such a thing is not possible to do, he posted on social media.

00:22:58.000 They say amid a tense legal battle over deportations, Trump is now arguing undocumented migrants should not be given a trial where they could challenge being removed from the country.

00:23:06.000 You know, they don't actually get that.

00:23:08.000 Let me pull up the deportation.

00:23:11.000 It's okay that it's not possible because the American people don't want them to have a trial anyways.

00:23:15.000 They just want them out.

00:23:16.000 This is what the process is, okay?

00:23:20.000 What happens when someone is detained by immigration?

00:23:23.000 They say after a non-citizen is detained, they may go before a judge in immigration court during the deportation.

00:23:27.000 Oh, wait, but there is a judge.

00:23:28.000 Hold on.

00:23:29.000 In some cases, a non-citizen is subject to expedited removal without being able to attend a hearing in immigration court.

00:23:35.000 Expedited removal may happen when a citizen comes to the U.S. without proper travel documents, uses forged travel documents, does not comply with their visas.

00:23:44.000 What does this mean?

00:23:45.000 Everybody we saw under the Biden administration who entered with fake documents or with none.

00:23:50.000 We're subject to expedited removal.

00:23:52.000 But that was unprecedented that Biden was doing this.

00:23:55.000 Immigration court hearings and rulings are for people who, like, overstay their visa or violate the terms of their immigration.

00:24:03.000 And then they get an order for removal and then they challenge it.

00:24:06.000 But when you enter the country illegally, it was just expedited removal.

00:24:10.000 They called Obama the deporter-in-chief because he was just loading them up and flying them out.

00:24:15.000 And lock them in cages, too. 0.78

00:24:16.000 He built them all.

00:24:17.000 Yeah, and they blame Trump on that, too.

00:24:19.000 That was pretty incredible stuff.

00:24:22.000 So it's all lies.

00:24:23.000 And even last night, Ian fell for it.

00:24:26.000 I'm sure the audience is saying, we're not surprised Ian fell for the lies.

00:24:29.000 Mary's giving me a look right now where she's... 1.00

00:24:31.000 She almost can't believe it.

00:24:34.000 But I don't mean this disrespectfully.

00:24:37.000 Ian brought up, Trump said we can't have trials for illegal immigrants now, and I had to correct him.

00:24:43.000 That narrative pushed by the press is fabricated.

00:24:46.000 What Trump is actually saying is, let me give you the full context of what Trump is saying.

00:24:50.000 Illegal immigrants, the people who come here and cross the border illegally, are subject to expedited removal and do not get hearings. 0.97

00:24:59.000 We can't start to have trials for all these people now.

00:25:03.000 There's too many.

00:25:04.000 It makes no sense.

00:25:05.000 You remove the other context.

00:25:08.000 Trick people into thinking they always did receive a trial and that Trump is trying to strip their rights from them.

00:25:14.000 Factual but not truthful.

00:25:17.000 And the goal is to deceive the American people, which is not something new.

00:25:21.000 It's something that Democrats have been engaging in regularly for the better part of the past 10 years, whether it be the policies during COVID, the...

00:25:36.000 The very fine people hoax, the Maryland man, whatever it is.

00:25:43.000 There's been multiple attempts by the Democrats to totally deceive the American people.

00:25:49.000 And I think generally...

00:25:52.000 It works.

00:25:52.000 Pardon me?

00:25:52.000 It works like 99% of the time.

00:25:54.000 It has worked well, yeah, because most people aren't very politically engaged.

00:25:59.000 But if you're even marginally politically engaged, I think that...

00:26:04.000 Unless your personality is kind of geared towards being a Democrat, if you're actually willing to change your opinion based on what you see, I think that most people that do any kind of exploration of the truth, they... 0.99

00:26:17.000 They see that the Democrats are full of crap. 0.98

00:26:21.000 Very teeny tiny fraction of the population actually looks past. 1.00

00:26:25.000 It is a teeny tiny fraction of the population of people that actually are into politics.

00:26:29.000 People just believe whatever is most emotionally resonant to them.

00:26:34.000 But reeling it back, I might sound crazy for saying this, but I feel like not only would there be a popular demand for an immigration moratorium, but also just a moratorium on asylum claims.

00:26:47.000 I know they're given court dates for asylum claims, but how about no?

00:26:51.000 How about a moratorium on that?

00:26:53.000 I think that would actually be something the American people want.

00:26:56.000 So many of them are BS anyway.

00:26:58.000 Well, hold on, Mary.

00:26:58.000 They're all fabricating them.

00:27:00.000 I didn't realize you were a liberal going so soft on these people.

00:27:02.000 I say, when they come in and claim asylum, we arrest them and criminally charge them and then send them to Guantanamo Bay. 0.99

00:27:08.000 Yeah. I'm not serious, by the way.

00:27:10.000 I'm just trying to sound like I'm more aggressive than Mary's being. 0.51

00:27:12.000 Am I being aggressive?

00:27:14.000 No, I was kidding.

00:27:15.000 Okay. I completely agree with the moratorium.

00:27:17.000 I think we need to shut down all asylum claims until we can figure out what the hell's going on.

00:27:22.000 Well, look, I think the American people agree with this.

00:27:24.000 That's why the Democrats are at, like, historic disapproval rating right now.

00:27:27.000 They're trying to normalize these type of issues as if they're popular and that the American people are supporting them.

00:27:33.000 They don't.

00:27:34.000 That's why they lost this past election.

00:27:36.000 That's why they're likely going to lose this midterm if things continue this way.

00:27:39.000 And this just, I mean, this is complete nonsense.

00:27:42.000 Democrats' strongest man is David Hogg.

00:27:46.000 And he exemplifies the civil war that's going on in the Democrat Party right now.

00:27:53.000 They're threatening to kick him out.

00:27:55.000 Yeah, they're probably going to.

00:27:58.000 Excommunicate him as a Democrat?

00:28:00.000 Excommunicado. He's vice chair, so they're saying we're going to remove you.

00:28:03.000 Because he is actually...

00:28:05.000 Such a plan.

00:28:05.000 He's an actual crisis actor.

00:28:08.000 He's trying to actually...

00:28:11.000 Primary Democrats and the DNC official is not in the business of primarying Democrats.

00:28:17.000 They're not in the business of picking and choosing which Democrat.

00:28:20.000 They're in the business of making sure Democrats win.

00:28:23.000 Now, primarying existing seats that are safe seats is a bad move for Democrats to do.

00:28:31.000 David Hogg's doing that.

00:28:32.000 I disagree.

00:28:32.000 And Carvel was all over him.

00:28:34.000 No, it's a good thing for them to do.

00:28:36.000 David Hogg is correct, except he's wrong about literally everything else.

00:28:40.000 Charlie Kirk is talking about primarying safe red seats to get rid of the rhinos in the party who are against the popular mandate. 0.99

00:28:50.000 David Hogg has a similar idea.

00:28:52.000 The only problem is his ideas aren't popular at all.

00:28:55.000 He's on the back end of an 80-20 issue arguing for getting rid of safe blue Democrats who are on the moderate side.

00:29:03.000 So this is the fascinating thing.

00:29:05.000 David, imagine if there was a prominent rhino who hated Trump and he was arguing we're going to primary save Republicans.

00:29:13.000 That's basically what David Hogg is doing.

00:29:15.000 He's in favor of all the worst issues.

00:29:19.000 I've got to be honest.

00:29:20.000 I think David Hogg might be a Republican.

00:29:22.000 I think one day he was at church and he was wearing his Trump hat and his Trump shirt and watching a video of Trump on his phone.

00:29:30.000 And then he said, someone needs to destroy the Democrats from within.

00:29:35.000 And then, you know, one of his buddies looked at him and said, but David, they'll hate you.

00:29:38.000 And he says, they will.

00:29:41.000 But it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. 1.00

00:29:43.000 And so then he joined the Democratic Party and he's just ripping them to shreds from within and making them look like morons. 1.00

00:29:48.000 Good for him. 1.00

00:29:49.000 I feel like it's more likely he was just like groomed from birth by like the FBI or the CIA.

00:29:55.000 Well, his dad, I think, was FBI, right?

00:29:57.000 Yeah. Was?

00:29:58.000 Really? Yeah.

00:29:59.000 That's true.

00:30:00.000 I was just, I remembered the name of the other, the girl from...

00:30:04.000 Parkland. Emma Gonzalez, who started going by ex-Gonzalez. 0.97

00:30:09.000 Yeah. And they both just started careers in activism, and it went beyond gun control acting.

00:30:15.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:30:15.000 His dad's a retired FBI agent.

00:30:17.000 That's crazy work.

00:30:18.000 Like, it's so in your face.

00:30:21.000 Well, I mean...

00:30:23.000 That's my personal opinion, okay?

00:30:25.000 My personal opinion.

00:30:25.000 No, I get it, but I'm just saying you don't need a grand...

00:30:28.000 Something is not what it seems about me.

00:30:29.000 You don't need a grand conspiracy.

00:30:30.000 His dad was an FBI agent, Democrat.

00:30:33.000 And he takes after his dad.

00:30:35.000 And it's not like...

00:30:36.000 I don't view it as the FBI had a meeting 20 years ago and they said, You must have a child.

00:30:42.000 A child of prophecy to lead the deep state.

00:30:44.000 They probably had a kid.

00:30:45.000 And then he was like, Here's what I think you should do.

00:30:48.000 And this kid takes after him.

00:30:49.000 Uh-huh.

00:30:50.000 Uh-huh.

00:30:53.000 Much to think about.

00:30:55.000 Indeed. You should ask Alex Jones what he thinks about this.

00:30:57.000 I do think this is...

00:30:58.000 We'll throw this one in just a little bit.

00:31:01.000 Postmillennial says that Venezuela's likely weaponizing Trendy Aragua against us. 0.73

00:31:05.000 So when Trump is talking about needing to get these people out as quickly as possible, he is not wrong. 0.94

00:31:11.000 And the sentiment that's going around quite a bit is, actually, the math is simple.

00:31:16.000 If you allow 20 million people in unvetted, but then you can't remove them without vetting, you've lost. 0.96

00:31:21.000 It's over.

00:31:22.000 Goodbye. Because that means it's a one-way valve, and they're not going to stop coming in.

00:31:26.000 And I think people have misunderstood that.

00:31:29.000 Terrorist organizations are not simply in the Middle East and far-off places in Southeast Asia, but they're actually in Latin America, and this is a terrorist organization that these people are members of that have infiltrated the United States.

00:31:42.000 Yeah, and I think it's important to stress this.

00:31:44.000 Trump is not arbitrarily declaring these narco gangs and prison gangs terrorists for no reason.

00:31:51.000 He's not calling them terrorists just so he can try and deport them.

00:31:54.000 These organizations, these gangs, are known for killing politicians.

00:31:58.000 The definition of terrorist is when you use violence for political ends.

00:32:01.000 When you get these Mexican mayors and governors, and people are two Muslim cartels, yo, read up on what MS-13 does down there. 0.96

00:32:08.000 If you come out and you say, we're going to clean up the streets and get rid of crime and stop what they're doing, the next day you're dead. 0.97

00:32:15.000 So if these people want to operate here, and they want to act in these ways, then they're terrorists.

00:32:22.000 I wonder what kind of...

00:32:24.000 What reaction the American people would have if there was actually even just one politician murdered, blatantly murdered by a gang, right?

00:32:34.000 Because in Mexico, they don't hide it.

00:32:36.000 They cut a politician's head off and leave it on their car.

00:32:40.000 What would the American people do if that happened in the United States?

00:32:45.000 At this rate, it's more a question of, like, what will they do?

00:32:48.000 Because it's like a matter of time.

00:32:49.000 As our population is shifting.

00:32:53.000 I don't know if it's actually a matter of time or not, but I do think if you saw something like that where it was clearly a gang, a foreign gang, that had come to America

00:33:08.000 and behaved like that, I do think the American people would react in a similar fashion to the way that they did after 9-11 and be like, all right, this...

00:33:19.000 We've got to clarify in this story.

00:33:23.000 We have a tweet from Kenico the Great who is confused and says, hold on a minute.

00:33:28.000 Kilmer Brego Garcia's court document from 2019 says, quote, DHS has not shown there are changed circumstances in Guatemala that would result in the respondent's life not being threatened or that internal relocation is possible and reasonable under the circumstances.

00:33:44.000 Therefore, the respondent's application for withholding under the act is granted.

00:33:49.000 Anybody knows what's wrong with that quote, with that paragraph, with that sentence?

00:33:57.000 Uh... No.

00:33:58.000 You haven't figured it out?

00:34:00.000 I'm not sure.

00:34:01.000 And I'm pausing not for dramatic suspense, but to point out that this document has been public since the Kilmar Abrego-Garcia story started.

00:34:09.000 I assumed everyone already knew this.

00:34:12.000 Guatemala is the nation under the circumstances of withholding.

00:34:16.000 I thought everybody knew that.

00:34:17.000 And now I'm seeing a bunch of people say, wait a minute.

00:34:20.000 The nation he wasn't supposed to go back to was Guatemala?

00:34:23.000 He's in El Salvador.

00:34:24.000 Yes. I thought y'all knew that.

00:34:26.000 I thought...

00:34:28.000 People... I don't know how this one has slipped past people.

00:34:32.000 Literally, we have a story from the AP.

00:34:35.000 Who is Kilmar Arbrego Garcia, the man ICE mistakenly deported to El Salvador prison?

00:34:39.000 It's from April 18th.

00:34:41.000 I can't remember which guest we had, and they mentioned a rival gang, I think it's called Barrios 18, was threatening his family in Guatemala, and so they fled.

00:34:51.000 And they're from El Salvador.

00:34:54.000 Yeah, so what is the argument?

00:34:57.000 My assumption and understanding of this was that because the gang that operates in Guatemala and borders El Salvador was threatening his family, returning to El Salvador, he would still be unsafe from the threat in Guatemala.

00:35:08.000 Now people are starting to realize, hey, wait a minute.

00:35:12.000 The withholding order was for Guatemala, not El Salvador, so technically there is no administrative error at all and there's no need for the AEA.

00:35:18.000 He could have been deported back there in the first place.

00:35:20.000 Now, the issue I have with that argument is, guys, There's no issue with the order of withholding at all because he's in prison.

00:35:29.000 He's safe.

00:35:31.000 It might be funny, but it's true. 0.98

00:35:33.000 If the argument is, if you release him to the streets of El Salvador, a gang might kill him, well, we got good news.

00:35:39.000 He's in prison.

00:35:41.000 There's guards there.

00:35:42.000 So it's...

00:35:44.000 There you go.

00:35:44.000 I mean, what's the issue?

00:35:45.000 Well, kudos to the media for actually using his full name and not the Maryland man.

00:35:50.000 Right. Because most people know this person by his photo and by Maryland man.

00:35:54.000 So now we actually kind of know his real name and really what he was all up to.

00:35:58.000 Do you think this was getting misreported intentionally?

00:36:00.000 Of course.

00:36:01.000 Well, what happens is later documents, the federal government said he had a withholding to El Salvador.

00:36:07.000 Despite the fact that the court document references only Guatemala?

00:36:11.000 Like, what is the incentive for them to lie?

00:36:13.000 Or is it just incompetence?

00:36:15.000 Well, there's questions about this.

00:36:18.000 And again, the reason why I wanted to go into this story is because a lot of people are just now reading this court document.

00:36:23.000 I would just like to say this as respectful as I can.

00:36:27.000 Guys, you gotta read these things.

00:36:29.000 I'm talking to you conservatives and the right.

00:36:33.000 I made the mistake, it's my fault I apologize for this, in assuming that...

00:36:37.000 The conversations around this understood that Guatemala was the threat.

00:36:41.000 I can't remember who the guest was, but they mentioned it was a rival gang that was threatening him.

00:36:47.000 That's why they couldn't go back to El Salvador.

00:36:49.000 The argument is, quite literally, for the withholding order, that if they go back to El Salvador, this gang, which operates in Guatemala, will come and get revenge or something.

00:37:01.000 However... Nayib Bukele has cleaned up El Salvador. 0.99

00:37:04.000 It is now safe, and the threat of those gangs is minimal because they don't want to go there.

00:37:07.000 They'll get thrown in Seacott.

00:37:09.000 The only real issue, once again, with this case is that he needed a USCIS interview.

00:37:15.000 That's it.

00:37:15.000 One guy from immigration to go, your withholding is due to gangs in El Salvador?

00:37:21.000 Or Guatemala, I see.

00:37:23.000 Okay, if we send you to El Salvador, where the crime rate is now, it's one of the safest in the Western Hemisphere, you will not face these threats.

00:37:30.000 Withholding, void.

00:37:31.000 And then he's deported.

00:37:33.000 End of story.

00:37:34.000 He's also a gang member himself.

00:37:36.000 And we don't want people with targets on their backs in this country if they're just luring the people who are after them to this country.

00:37:46.000 And they're going to hurt other people too.

00:37:48.000 That's a good point.

00:37:48.000 And for the sake of argument, let's say that the protection order was pertaining to El Salvador.

00:37:54.000 I don't care.

00:37:56.000 Send him back there. 0.96

00:37:58.000 Prison. No one is going to lose sleep over this man. 0.95

00:38:01.000 Yeah, I mean, send him anywhere. 0.95

00:38:03.000 Send him to prison.

00:38:03.000 Send him to Gitmo.

00:38:05.000 It doesn't matter to me where they send him.

00:38:07.000 Send him out of America. 0.98

00:38:09.000 Stop making him our problem.

00:38:12.000 Like, when Donald Trump says that, you know, they're not sending their best, there are a lot of countries that when they heard that the borders were open, they do think, they actually do things like empty their prisons.

00:38:23.000 Empty their asylums. 0.90

00:38:24.000 They go.

00:38:25.000 Get out of here.

00:38:25.000 And kick them out of their country.

00:38:27.000 And then they wind up here.

00:38:28.000 That is not a fabrication.

00:38:30.000 That actually happens.

00:38:32.000 So the idea that we must accept the criminals of other countries because our Democrats are too spineless to actually send people back, I do not accept that.

00:38:46.000 We need to send all of these people home.

00:38:48.000 We need to do everything we can to put a bunch of pressure on Businesses that hire these people and the police need to wrap up as many illegal immigrants as they possibly can and send them out. 1.00

00:39:01.000 Was mandatory E-Verify even mentioned in the 2024 Trump campaign?

00:39:06.000 I don't think so.

00:39:07.000 Because that I remember from the 2016 run.

00:39:09.000 I think they're in favor of it, but there's a lot of libertarians who oppose it.

00:39:13.000 I have an honest question in this regard for you guys.

00:39:15.000 What is the issue with Real ID?

00:39:19.000 And collection of biometrics.

00:39:21.000 As an honest question, it's not a gotcha.

00:39:22.000 I'm genuinely curious what your thoughts are.

00:39:24.000 An issue that libertarians have with those?

00:39:25.000 No, no, no.

00:39:26.000 You. Oh.

00:39:27.000 Like, what do you think?

00:39:30.000 Let's just start here.

00:39:31.000 So, real ID, that basically means all IDs statewide are going to be in a national database.

00:39:38.000 And biometrics, they're going to collect at various points of entry, your fingerprints, retinal scans, photos, facial ID, whatever.

00:39:47.000 What are your thoughts on doing that?

00:39:49.000 Do you think it's good or bad?

00:39:50.000 But they already do that when you come in from outside of the United States and when you're using your passport.

00:39:55.000 I think a passport essentially is a real ID.

00:39:58.000 So it's like you're carrying a passport on you.

00:40:01.000 So if you have a passport already, they already have your data.

00:40:05.000 But already doing it, I don't think, is the argument, right?

00:40:08.000 Libertarians are going to complain.

00:40:09.000 They shouldn't be.

00:40:10.000 So my question for you guys is, are you okay with the mass collection of biometrics?

00:40:15.000 No? No, I mean, that just feels like it has ulterior motives, or maybe they'll discover ulterior motives on the line.

00:40:22.000 So the argument largely is, the reason they do it at the border, is that if your biometrics are in the system, and you come to the border and they scan it, they'll be like, gotcha.

00:40:31.000 These are basically, it's data they can use in mass surveillance, and they already do.

00:40:35.000 Facial recognition.

00:40:36.000 Right, right.

00:40:37.000 But my question is, why are you worried about mass surveillance?

00:40:40.000 I don't have a problem with it if they're doing it at the border.

00:40:44.000 At ports of entry.

00:40:45.000 I don't really have a problem with that.

00:40:47.000 Like, if you leave the country and they scan your face when you come back, even for American citizens, I don't really have that much of an issue with it.

00:40:53.000 I don't think that it should be done at the airport every time you get on an airplane.

00:40:57.000 But why not?

00:40:59.000 Because of things like privacy issues.

00:41:02.000 We deserve privacy.

00:41:04.000 What does that mean?

00:41:06.000 You should...

00:41:07.000 Okay, guys, let me try it again.

00:41:09.000 You're literally just saying I don't want them to have it.

00:41:11.000 I get it.

00:41:12.000 I don't either.

00:41:13.000 I'm wondering what the negative thing from them having it is.

00:41:17.000 What do you guys think it is?

00:41:18.000 So I don't know that there is the ability now to monitor...

00:41:25.000 Through facial recognition or anything like that, but you do currently have the option of not having electronics on you and going places and doing things and being private, right?

00:41:36.000 So you leave your phone.

00:41:37.000 Now, granted, most people don't make this decision.

00:41:39.000 Most people opt to have the phone because the phone and technology...

00:41:43.000 If you go to a place that maybe you're going to an adult bookstore, you don't want some NSA guy to know you're doing it.

00:41:50.000 Fair enough.

00:41:51.000 If that's an example, fine.

00:41:53.000 But the point that I'm...

00:41:54.000 Like you're doing something embarrassing.

00:41:55.000 Whether it be embarrassing or you just don't want people to track you, right?

00:41:59.000 So, hypothetical, right?

00:42:01.000 You want to go and...

00:42:03.000 Well, actually, you can't...

00:42:05.000 I'm not really sure that there are a whole lot of things that you can do anymore where there isn't someone tracking you.

00:42:12.000 I ask this because I've come across a lot of people who...

00:42:17.000 They'll say...

00:42:19.000 Hey, it's really bad.

00:42:20.000 Like, real ID is really bad.

00:42:21.000 And I'm like, I agree.

00:42:24.000 I can articulate, you know, my thoughts on real ID and mass surveillance and biometrics.

00:42:28.000 But I'm genuinely curious if people, like, what is the view the average person has on why they don't want their facial recognition or whatever in a government database?

00:42:38.000 Do you think the government will do something to you by being able to know who you are?

00:42:44.000 Well, it kind of just sounds like the retort of...

00:42:46.000 Like, if you have nothing to hide, you don't need to worry about these encroachments on your freedom, you know?

00:42:55.000 I'm not saying that.

00:42:56.000 I'm saying...

00:42:56.000 It just kind of sounds like the argument.

00:42:58.000 Like, oh, what could go wrong?

00:43:00.000 Well, a lot of things could go wrong.

00:43:01.000 I'm not saying that either.

00:43:02.000 I'm saying, what do you think?

00:43:05.000 What do you think the government will do to you when they have your information and data?

00:43:10.000 Probably use it for medical scientific experimentation.

00:43:17.000 Cloning, CRISPR technology.

00:43:20.000 Absolutely. We know that, what was that experiment they did in San Fran where they sprayed the whole city with bacteria?

00:43:26.000 So if they're tracking your biometrics, if they scan everybody's eyes and load them into an AI, the AI could probably navigate cancer rates and a whole bunch of weird stuff and then use that to socially engineer.

00:43:40.000 The best argument I've ever heard against mass surveillance is that marijuana has become legal.

00:43:45.000 Right? Are you a fan of marijuana being legal, Mary?

00:43:48.000 No. You are on camera.

00:44:16.000 The camera we put in all of your homes has proven you've broken the law.

00:44:19.000 What ends up happening then is there is no flexibility in the law and in social order, meaning the only move you can make is towards more laws and more illegality until you can't do anything at all.

00:44:32.000 So there's a lot of things that—marijuana is probably an extreme example because a lot of people want it to be illegal.

00:44:36.000 But there's other examples.

00:44:37.000 Like, if we had mass surveillance, women would still be wearing, you know, fully flocked outfits with 17 layers. 1.00

00:44:44.000 Because the moment a woman dressed down and tried going outside, the camera catches you, and then the cops come and find you.

00:44:48.000 So think about mass surveillance in, like, Iran.

00:44:51.000 If a woman tries taking off hijab, they're going to know instantly, and they're going to swarm her, and they're going to arrest her before it can change. 0.98

00:44:57.000 So typically, mass surveillance is because you need flexibility.

00:45:00.000 There are some things that people will do that is against the law, but they tolerate.

00:45:04.000 And then with that tolerance, our society can adapt and change.

00:45:07.000 But, again...

00:45:08.000 Maybe if it were used to stop people from smoking weed, then I'd just be all for it.

00:45:13.000 Yeah, well, there you go.

00:45:14.000 Because the argument is this.

00:45:16.000 If we have mass surveillance and biometrics, we can get rid of all the illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:45:20.000 But then it goes towards that whole social credit score stuff that's going on in China, which I think that's really what people are afraid of.

00:45:26.000 You're going to go to a grocery store.

00:45:27.000 It's going to scan your eye and then say you're banned, whereas you could just pay cash and buy whatever you want.

00:45:31.000 It most definitely wouldn't.

00:45:32.000 That technology would not be used to enforce the law against illegal immigrants.

00:45:37.000 That just wouldn't happen.

00:45:38.000 There's no will to use it for that purpose.

00:45:40.000 Therefore, it's not going to happen.

00:45:41.000 Well, Trump wins.

00:45:42.000 It's going to be used to oppress the people who were born here for sure and not to remove people who came in here illegally. 0.98

00:45:50.000 I do agree for the most part, but I do feel like this is the cynical American youth view.

00:45:57.000 Oh, yes.

00:45:58.000 Because the government has been against us for so long in our lives.

00:46:02.000 They have given us nothing.

00:46:04.000 They have lied to us.

00:46:05.000 They have spit on us.

00:46:06.000 They have started wars.

00:46:07.000 The assumption of the younger generations is it's an evil machine that can only do wrong.

00:46:12.000 But then you get Cash and Dan and the FBI.

00:46:14.000 And I'm like, this is different.

00:46:18.000 The issue largely is, libertarians, civil libertarians will say, don't empower the government because then the bad guys come in and they'll use those powers against you.

00:46:27.000 And the good guys tend not to.

00:46:29.000 However, I don't have a big problem with people I know and trust wielding power.

00:46:36.000 If there's a very good person you know, and they wield tremendous power, but you know they only act with honor and integrity, then we're not really concerned.

00:46:44.000 The concern is when corrupt people come into office.

00:46:47.000 And so what I think we have right now is the reason why we are cynical on all of these issues of data collection is because government is corrupt.

00:46:56.000 Just is.

00:46:58.000 Like the scenario where Cash and Dan become like the permanent FBI is zero.

00:47:06.000 It's just zero.

00:47:07.000 So for now, it may feel good.

00:47:09.000 And this is the opportunity for the government to expand because...

00:47:13.000 You know, people in our position are going to say, I want the DHS to go after these illegal immigrants, so you know what? 1.00

00:47:18.000 If it gets rid of 20 million illegal immigrants, I'm okay with the biometrics and all this stuff. 1.00

00:47:22.000 The problem is, just because, I don't know, like, Kristi Noem might be a good person doesn't mean the next person coming in is going to be good.

00:47:28.000 It's the same thing with FISA, right?

00:47:31.000 They used the FISA warrants and the FISA surveillance to go after terrorists after 9-11.

00:47:35.000 Then it was weaponized against the Trump campaign, which I was part of.

00:47:39.000 I was spied on via FISA, which is designated for terrorists in these kind of insane operations and the president himself.

00:47:46.000 So like you said, if it's in the hands of the good people, it won't be weaponized.

00:47:49.000 If it's in the hands of the bad people, it will be weaponized.

00:47:52.000 So we can't really take that chance, and I think that's what you're trying to say.

00:47:55.000 Yeah, I mean, look, that's exactly...

00:47:58.000 Just because we can't, the four of us sitting around the table can't think of a specific thing that would be used, our biometrics could be used to, you know, used and, you know, corruptly used against us doesn't mean that, you know, there aren't a thousand things that are possible that we can't come up with sitting right here on the spot,

00:48:15.000 you know?

00:48:16.000 No, I just, the reason I ask is I'm wondering if you guys have really thought about it.

00:48:21.000 I've had a lot of conversations recently and I feel like most people haven't actually thought about it, but they do know that it's bad.

00:48:25.000 And it's a good thing because we want the popular viewpoint to be like we shouldn't tolerate these things.

00:48:30.000 I can think of a bunch of really bad things.

00:48:32.000 Namely, like we mentioned, you go to a grocery store and you're walking up and they've got all your information stored, social credit system, and you can't buy food anymore.

00:48:41.000 They ban you from food.

00:48:42.000 They ban you from Ubers.

00:48:43.000 Like, you know, it's fascinating.

00:48:46.000 Taxi cab.

00:48:47.000 Normally, what do you do?

00:48:47.000 You hold your hand up.

00:48:48.000 Cab pulls over.

00:48:49.000 You get in.

00:48:49.000 You say, here's where I'm going.

00:48:50.000 You hand him cash.

00:48:51.000 Clean. You know who you are.

00:48:52.000 We're good.

00:48:52.000 Mm-hmm.

00:48:55.000 Cabs are failing.

00:48:56.000 Laura Loomer was banned from Uber.

00:48:58.000 Yeah. What would happen if Uber dominated the taxi service and auto cars?

00:49:06.000 You go on the app, you're banned.

00:49:08.000 We know everything about you.

00:49:09.000 We know everything you've said.

00:49:09.000 We know where you are at all times.

00:49:10.000 And now we can excise you from society.

00:49:13.000 That's one of the most common arguments against a central bank digital currency is they can literally just turn your money off.

00:49:22.000 That's something that even though nowadays they can cancel your credit cards and shut all that stuff off, if you have cash, which some people still work with cash.

00:49:37.000 But you can still survive if you have cash.

00:49:39.000 You can get around.

00:49:39.000 You can buy things.

00:49:41.000 It's not common, but it's common enough where most businesses still have a cash register that has money for change in it.

00:49:48.000 But if you were to go with a central bank digital currency and get rid of cash totally, then you're at the mercy of the government entirely just to be able to survive.

00:50:01.000 I don't think there's anything stopping it.

00:50:03.000 What? CBDC?

00:50:05.000 All of it.

00:50:06.000 All of it.

00:50:09.000 I don't think most people realize, I think probably most people who watch this show have a general understanding, but most people in the world do not understand what AI is going to do to humanity.

00:50:22.000 No, I agree.

00:50:23.000 The singularity as it's described, the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, it's an exponential growth curve where within a matter of days, the AI becomes something beyond our comprehension.

00:50:37.000 And we become ants to it, single-celled organisms relative to it.

00:50:42.000 It's going to be able to predict the future, map the past perfectly.

00:50:49.000 So I was at a museum.

00:50:51.000 That museum was a rock store, but they had fossils and stuff.

00:50:54.000 And there was a rock, a cube, that was cut specifically showing the layers of sediment.

00:51:00.000 A sufficient AI will be able to tell you exactly where that rock was cut from, where it came from.

00:51:06.000 And map out the history because it's all like, it's like a game of Sudoku, where when you get far enough in it, you can just start filling in the numbers.

00:51:14.000 That's what AI does.

00:51:15.000 The faster it develops, the faster it'll just start filling in all the numbers and solve all of these technological hurdles and erase everything we think we know in society.

00:51:24.000 It's going to be nightmarish.

00:51:25.000 Do you guys know that China already has what they're calling dark factories?

00:51:28.000 There's no lights.

00:51:30.000 There's no light.

00:51:31.000 You walk inside, it's pitch black, and the machines are all operating because the machines don't need visible spectrum wavelength.

00:51:36.000 They operate on, like, sonar or just general math.

00:51:40.000 They're just programmed to move this many degrees, and they're manufacturing things in pitch black.

00:51:44.000 And it's not just factory jobs either.

00:51:47.000 The AI is taking over even professional jobs, white-collar jobs.

00:51:49.000 You know, how many of these jobs are going to be redundant now, from paralegals to potentially even doctors?

00:51:54.000 Yeah, they're AI algorithms that run the entire stock market now and make trades on the millisecond.

00:52:00.000 They already have robots that do microsurgery.

00:52:03.000 AI. Human goes in the machine.

00:52:05.000 The machine just...

00:52:06.000 The craziest thing.

00:52:07.000 I mean, some of this is cool, I gotta say.

00:52:10.000 That with sufficient AI technology, they can take your blood and then basically almost show you your lifespan.

00:52:20.000 It'll tell you if you're...

00:52:22.000 In seven years, three months, four days, you will develop lymphoma in this part of your body based on the current makeup of your blood.

00:52:29.000 It can craft bespoke medication.

00:52:33.000 A machine will combine various chemicals, create pills, spit them out and say, this is specifically for you, and if you take these, you will de-age.

00:52:42.000 It will cure your aging. 0.95

00:52:44.000 Just ridiculous, insane things.

00:52:45.000 How's Big Pharma going to profit off of that?

00:52:49.000 Well, I suppose the bigger question is, it's a good question, but that question...

00:52:54.000 You'll have to keep taking it.

00:52:56.000 No, no, no.

00:52:57.000 No one will profit off of anything.

00:52:59.000 Profit won't exist.

00:53:01.000 This is the collapse of humanity.

00:53:03.000 The system breaks down immediately. 0.92

00:53:06.000 Most people are going to plug their brains into weird mishmash matrix nonsense.

00:53:12.000 I have no idea how to predict an economic system.

00:53:16.000 With ChatGPT, we're already eliminating tens of thousands of jobs every day.

00:53:22.000 With Suno, the AI music, we are eliminating tens of thousands of jobs every single day.

00:53:28.000 That just means there's going to be a premium put on human-made and live entertainment.

00:53:33.000 I'm not so sure about that.

00:53:35.000 Because the AI will be better than human.

00:53:37.000 So they've done this already for about 20 years with music.

00:53:41.000 And Phil, I'm wondering if you've ever experienced this, where they've actually been able to map out the algorithm of music.

00:53:47.000 This is not AI doing this.

00:53:49.000 20 years ago, 15 years ago.

00:53:51.000 Human sound engineers were just taking all of the top 40s from the past 80 years or whatever, and then they put them in computers and then tracked the pitch changes, the tempos, and were able to produce a formula for a hit.

00:54:06.000 What do humans like in music and why?

00:54:09.000 Most songs have the same intervals.

00:54:12.000 They're like one, three, five chords.

00:54:14.000 And it doesn't matter what key it's in.

00:54:17.000 It's your root, your third, your fifth, and...

00:54:20.000 That's a chord progression.

00:54:22.000 And that's why you hear people that have the...

00:54:25.000 There's that comedy troupe that do the four chord song.

00:54:29.000 They're not actually...

00:54:30.000 I don't know for sure that all the songs are actually in the same key.

00:54:34.000 They're not.

00:54:34.000 But the intervals are the same.

00:54:35.000 And so they can play the same chords and sing a thousand different songs over the same chord progression.

00:54:41.000 I think you're saying that it's better in meaning that it's optimized.

00:54:44.000 And what I mean that...

00:54:46.000 By, like, a premium put on live entertainment and human-made entertainment.

00:54:52.000 I mean it in the same way as, like, fashion or Michelin star restaurants.

00:54:56.000 Did you know that, Katie?

00:54:57.000 I may be wrong about this, but I heard Katy Perry can't sell her latest store. 1.00

00:55:00.000 It's flopping.

00:55:02.000 I don't know.

00:55:03.000 Well, it's probably because ticket prices have inflated by a lot.

00:55:06.000 There's a lot of inflation.

00:55:07.000 So there's that.

00:55:07.000 I'm sure you know more about that type of thing than I do.

00:55:10.000 There is inflation.

00:55:11.000 There's two things that are happening, particularly in media.

00:55:13.000 And scalpers and all that.

00:55:15.000 The cost of producing a show like this is going down, but the viewership for most media is going down as well.

00:55:23.000 It's decentralizing.

00:55:24.000 So we're falling down into a space where most shows are going to be dude in room with friend.

00:55:30.000 And it's going to be kind of a hobby.

00:55:33.000 With AI, we're what, a year away?

00:55:38.000 From being able to type in, maybe two years, but I think probably a year, typing into an AI generator, make me an episode of Timcast IRL based on the latest news, and make the guest Donald Trump.

00:55:49.000 And it will run to the whole thing.

00:55:50.000 Like a hologram kind of situation?

00:55:52.000 No, no, just like a video.

00:55:52.000 I'll make a video online.

00:55:53.000 And you don't think some people will at least have the perception that there's more value in watching a real conversation?

00:55:58.000 Sure they will.

00:55:59.000 The only problem is...

00:56:00.000 They'll pay for it?

00:56:02.000 No, they won't.

00:56:03.000 First of all, there's going to be – there's already individuals that are making AI content that people don't know is AI content.

00:56:10.000 It's all over X. But, no, what I'm telling you is I've met with people who have explicitly stated I am – I have spoken my voice into an AI and scanned my body 3D.

00:56:23.000 Tell us who it is.

00:56:29.000 I can't.

00:56:29.000 I want to know.

00:56:31.000 I'm dying to know who's doing it.

00:56:33.000 It's prominent wealthy individuals in media.

00:56:36.000 Wow. I don't know if they've released the content yet, but they've explicitly stated to me...

00:56:42.000 Is it like the testing stages?

00:56:44.000 They're building...

00:56:45.000 So the technology already exists.

00:56:47.000 All they have to do is...

00:56:50.000 I gotta be honest, this was like a year ago they were telling me this.

00:56:53.000 Configure the system to represent them.

00:56:55.000 So literally they were...

00:56:58.000 They've taken my voice.

00:57:01.000 It's a guy.

00:57:02.000 Give him words to say.

00:57:03.000 He reads a couple paragraphs.

00:57:05.000 I think it might be a few pages because there's things like intonation that a person might say in different ways.

00:57:10.000 And then you stand in a room and they have cameras in every area and you stand still and it takes a picture of every direction.

00:57:17.000 And then once they have that, they can literally just put it into the AI.

00:57:21.000 They can load a news story and then set a time limit.

00:57:27.000 Ten minute video.

00:57:28.000 Enter. And it will render a video where the dude's going, the story right now coming from the New York Times is that, and you can't tell.

00:57:37.000 It's, it's, it's, we, we, like, Pete, I don't think people get it.

00:57:43.000 I keep hearing from people that are like, yeah, but people are going to want human made stuff.

00:57:46.000 I'm like, you are not going to know the difference.

00:57:49.000 And when you put up this production.

00:57:53.000 This studio, which this place costs millions of dollars to operate with all the staff and the electricity, the contractors, the camera equipment, the internet.

00:58:00.000 The internet's super expensive, like uploading to millions of people.

00:58:04.000 When you combine all those costs and then tell me I have to compete with some middle-aged guy who opened up a computer app and pressed news podcast enter and then upload it to YouTube?

00:58:17.000 Impossible. Well, at the very least, that means they would still be a premium on live flesh and blood entertainment.

00:58:26.000 Perhaps. Which can't be.

00:58:28.000 But Gen Z doesn't go outside anymore and they don't go anywhere anymore. 1.00

00:58:32.000 It's true.

00:58:34.000 That's a separate issue.

00:58:35.000 But if they don't go anywhere and do anything, and if they're broke and they can't afford to live, they're not going to spend money on anything.

00:58:41.000 And tickets cost money.

00:58:42.000 Those live performances are going to run you about $50 to $100.

00:58:45.000 A lot of people don't have that.

00:58:47.000 Especially, you know, younger people don't want to spend that kind of money.

00:58:49.000 Live events will be reserved for the ultra-wealthy elite?

00:58:54.000 I don't think there will be live performances.

00:58:58.000 But I don't think the hunger for that is something that can be excised from the human person.

00:59:02.000 I just don't believe that's possible.

00:59:05.000 We had newspapers.

00:59:07.000 And everybody would go to the store in the morning and they'd grab their coffee and grab a newspaper, put it under their arm, sit on the bus or the train, and then read the newspaper on their way to work.

00:59:15.000 That's how they got their news.

00:59:16.000 Then TV came around.

00:59:18.000 Or radio, I should say.

00:59:19.000 Then TV.

00:59:21.000 Then people were turning the TV on at work or turning it on at home and they'd get their news.

00:59:25.000 Then they'd go to work.

00:59:25.000 They didn't really know things except at key intervals.

00:59:29.000 We got the internet.

00:59:30.000 And I remember in the early 2000s, the internet was when I was at home.

00:59:33.000 That was it.

00:59:34.000 So I'd go out, I'd go skate, I'd go to work, then I'd get home and I'd go on the internet for about an hour and learn about stuff, but then I'd disconnect.

00:59:41.000 This was mid-2000s.

00:59:43.000 Then we got the iPhone.

00:59:45.000 And with capacitive touch, instantly, overnight, within like a year, the internet was ubiquitous.

00:59:52.000 Everything changed.

00:59:54.000 Media consumption just changed dramatically overnight.

01:00:00.000 When AI rolls out the ability to make...

01:00:04.000 Look, we've already covered this the other day with these YouTube videos that are AI-generated creepo slop.

01:00:11.000 Two years ago, three years ago, you try to make an AI video of Nancy Pelosi.

01:00:16.000 That's the example I give because it's on my Instagram, and she looks like a Picasso. 0.97

01:00:19.000 Today, you make an AI photo of Nancy Pelosi, and it looks like a real photo.

01:00:23.000 It's indistinguishable.

01:00:25.000 Now we're moving on to video, which is getting to that point.

01:00:28.000 It's not yet there.

01:00:29.000 A year from now, short videos will be indistinguishable.

01:00:33.000 And a year from then, long form videos will be indistinguishable.

01:00:36.000 And then a year probably from then, full movies, even AI rendering video games themselves.

01:00:43.000 We're already at the phase where Grok, this was a viral video, someone went to Grok and they said, make me a game of program Snake.

01:00:50.000 And it wrote the code out for Snake and then someone was like, here's the code and they executed and they played Snake.

01:00:56.000 That's level one, that's Model T. In a couple years, they're going to say, give me GTA 12. Or make me a Grand Theft Auto game that takes place in Japan.

01:01:04.000 And it will just, it'll make the game for you.

01:01:07.000 It's easy to say, no, people want that live performance.

01:01:11.000 And that's exactly what Homeboy said in the 90s.

01:01:14.000 I can't remember who it was.

01:01:14.000 They said, the internet will be a blip.

01:01:17.000 Oh, God.

01:01:17.000 Yeah, do you remember who that was?

01:01:18.000 A famous quote.

01:01:19.000 Well, there was the Nobel Prize winner that said the internet was going to be, would go the way of the fax machine, I think is what he said.

01:01:30.000 It wasn't Schiff.

01:01:32.000 Robert Metcalf?

01:01:34.000 Yes, Robert Metcalf, the inventor of Ethernet, said the Internet will soon go spectacularly supernova and 1996 catastrophically collapse.

01:01:42.000 Of course, he was wrong.

01:01:44.000 It didn't work out.

01:01:44.000 What did Al Gore have to say about this, the so-called inventor of the...

01:01:47.000 Indeed. I'm just saying, I think if you went back to when the Internet was emergent and then told CNN...

01:01:58.000 The internet will take over your industry and you'll be jobless?

01:02:01.000 They go, oh please.

01:02:03.000 Is everyone going to buy a computer for their house?

01:02:06.000 Like barely anybody owns a computer.

01:02:08.000 Why would they want to buy it anyway?

01:02:09.000 It's a professional machine.

01:02:12.000 No, people want to eat dinner with their families, turn the TV on in the background and hear the news and that's us.

01:02:17.000 And that was just 20 years ago.

01:02:19.000 Yep. And then the funny thing is Steve Jobs, when asked about the iPhone, It was a new product, and I believe his quote was, how can people know that they want it if they've never seen it?

01:02:32.000 So the idea was, people were saying, why make a phone like this?

01:02:36.000 Nobody's trying to buy one.

01:02:37.000 Nobody wants one.

01:02:37.000 He says, if I make it, they'll buy it.

01:02:39.000 How can they know that they want it if they can't even see it?

01:02:41.000 And then they made the iPhone, and the rest is history.

01:02:45.000 Ford said the same thing with the Model T. When people were in buggies and horses, it was like, I will create the market and you will buy it.

01:02:52.000 They didn't need it.

01:02:54.000 I think I hear this over and over and over again from people when they're like, nah, human music is always going to be better.

01:02:59.000 Wrong. It's just not true.

01:03:02.000 It's already largely algorithmically driven, and people just don't seem to realize this, that when you go to like a pop producer...

01:03:09.000 They're not sitting there and just thinking like, I got an idea for a melody.

01:03:12.000 They're going like, what's the tried and true interval and method like Phil was describing with the four chords song?

01:03:17.000 All these songs use similar time signatures, stamps, and chord progressions with various vocal melodies.

01:03:23.000 And there was a really great video that talked about the Oh Wee Oh.

01:03:27.000 I don't know if you saw this one, Phil.

01:03:29.000 And I say this because it's your industry, but someone made a compilation of all of the millennial folk dirtbag songs where everyone go, Oh Wee Oh.

01:03:37.000 Yeah. In every song.

01:03:38.000 Yeah. Because they were like, we have tracked this algorithmically and we know these songs are hitting right now with this generation.

01:03:44.000 Make 70 of these songs.

01:03:45.000 Every single All That Remains hit song, right?

01:03:49.000 All the songs that we have, except for one.

01:03:51.000 All the hit songs that we have, all the songs that have gold or platinum records, they all have the same chord progression.

01:03:57.000 Even though they're tuned differently, they have the same interval progression in the chorus.

01:04:02.000 I think they're kind of equivocating between calling something better.

01:04:06.000 And something that's optimized.

01:04:09.000 Better is, in my mind, better means something a little deeper than just what will be purchased.

01:04:17.000 Better is too subjective to be useful in this.

01:04:23.000 Some people like to go antiquing.

01:04:25.000 It can be fun.

01:04:26.000 But it's not practical.

01:04:28.000 And it's not a practical industry.

01:04:30.000 So when, you know, I would say now, most bands...

01:04:35.000 They're probably, I don't know, not most bands, but I would say most working bands are probably making a middle-class living of that.

01:04:43.000 Would you think, Phil?

01:04:44.000 Pardon me?

01:04:45.000 Most signed, successful bands, they're probably making a middle-class living.

01:04:51.000 Yeah, I mean, if you're a successful band nowadays, it's really like the...

01:04:58.000 Streaming has hollowed out the music industry.

01:05:00.000 Either you're struggling or you're huge.

01:05:05.000 There's not a lot of middle ground anymore.

01:05:07.000 Now, how do you, Phil, compete with someone who can AI generate 7,000 songs in one week?

01:05:14.000 What's your plan?

01:05:15.000 It boils down to touring.

01:05:17.000 In person, like we were talking about.

01:05:20.000 And performance live.

01:05:20.000 So your career is doomed.

01:05:22.000 Well, I mean, when All That Remains got started, it was always about touring and always about live performance.

01:05:31.000 It was never really...

01:05:32.000 So the record that put us on the map called The Fall of Ideals came out in 2006.

01:05:38.000 That is the exact same year that Spotify was created.

01:05:42.000 So we literally were watching the last helicopter leave Saigon.

01:05:47.000 And I want to stress this too.

01:05:50.000 Phil's career is not doomed.

01:05:52.000 Phil had his career at the peak of, like, when he was able to do all of these things.

01:05:57.000 And what's happening now is the younger generation won't have that opportunity.

01:06:00.000 Yeah, there's no...

01:06:01.000 It's so hard to break in nowadays.

01:06:04.000 The only band that I can think of that has done anything remotely fresh or new lately is Sleep Token.

01:06:12.000 Let me do this.

01:06:13.000 I do want to get back to the news, but I want to read one super chat because the Sig P said, Tim, I disagree.

01:06:17.000 As someone who has worked as a touring engineer for 20 years...

01:06:20.000 Good luck matching the energy of a crowd that's louder than my PA.

01:06:23.000 Back me up, Phil.

01:06:25.000 Here's what I'm going to say.

01:06:26.000 I've already been to house shows, and I'm sure most of you have.

01:06:29.000 I've already seen DJs who are literally not DJing anymore.

01:06:33.000 To them, DJ means I have a playlist of MP3s, and then I just switch between them.

01:06:39.000 They're pre-made songs.

01:06:40.000 I have seen people do shows to a thousand people where they're pretending to press buttons.

01:06:45.000 Why actually do the work?

01:06:47.000 The song's pre-programmed.

01:06:48.000 And I will also add one last thought to that.

01:06:52.000 No one, no one is selling stadiums and live shows the way they used to 20, 30 years ago.

01:06:59.000 Metallica to what, like a million people?

01:07:01.000 Yeah, I mean, there's, so you've got a handful of bands that can play arenas nowadays, like Metallica obviously can play stadiums.

01:07:10.000 And then...

01:07:12.000 Any other bands that are...

01:07:13.000 Rock bands that are playing stadiums, if they're still playing stadiums, there are bands like ACDC.

01:07:18.000 I think they might do that.

01:07:20.000 But most of them will be playing Civic Centers or smaller.

01:07:22.000 And there are only...

01:07:23.000 I mean, like, Falling in Reverse, Sleep Token.

01:07:28.000 I can't think of any other bands off the top of my head that are playing...

01:07:31.000 Even Taylor Swift struggles to reach the level of Metallica.

01:07:35.000 Like, Taylor Swift's biggest shows were Metallica's average shows.

01:07:39.000 And then Metallica had several shows with hundreds of thousands to a million people, whatever, that famous, what was it, in Germany or whatever?

01:07:46.000 Metallica's million, that was in Russia.

01:07:48.000 That stuff just doesn't happen anymore.

01:07:50.000 So, not that it'll be overnight, but once the AI singularity occurs, it is, I'm going to say it again, nobody, not even the people building it.

01:08:04.000 And they've all stated this.

01:08:06.000 Nobody has any idea what happens.

01:08:07.000 We're talking about a computer that will be able to invent things by request.

01:08:12.000 We're talking about someone pulling up GPT-12 and saying, design me a jetpack and then make it.

01:08:18.000 And then the robots and the fabricators will start pulling things together and it'll make a functional jetpack. 0.91

01:08:23.000 And it'll just invent it for you.

01:08:25.000 You'll say, we want a cold fusion generator.

01:08:27.000 And it'll say, here's the schematics for a cold fusion generator.

01:08:30.000 And they'll say, okay, build it for me.

01:08:31.000 And then it'll do it.

01:08:32.000 We're, like, well beyond all that stuff.

01:08:34.000 We're talking about telling the computer, create a chip that can read right into a human brain.

01:08:40.000 And it will just go, okay.

01:08:42.000 Anyway, let's move on to the actual news.

01:08:45.000 We've got a couple stories, and we'll start with this one from Human Events.

01:08:48.000 Moscow bombs Kiev, killing at least nine, injuring dozens as peace talks hit the rocks.

01:08:55.000 Now, why did they hit the rocks?

01:08:58.000 Here's a tweet from Marco Rubio.

01:09:00.000 Politico wrote, So what do you think happens if you're Zelensky?

01:09:26.000 And you see a report in one of the preeminent political newspapers in the United States saying that behind your back, the U.S. State Department has cut a deal with Russia, or wants to.

01:09:36.000 Zelensky says, no deal.

01:09:38.000 And then what happens?

01:09:39.000 Russia bombs their capital.

01:09:41.000 Yeah, but I mean...

01:09:42.000 The media is making the war worse.

01:09:44.000 That's the point.

01:09:45.000 I mean, I think you're probably right.

01:09:47.000 But Russia hasn't made any...

01:09:50.000 They've done nothing to signal that they're going to go to the...

01:09:54.000 To actually...

01:09:55.000 Begin negotiations.

01:09:56.000 The negotiations that Rubio's had with Russia have been largely fruitless, and Russia's in a position now where there's not a lot of reason for them to.

01:10:07.000 It seems like they want to wait out the U.S., because the U.S. has said, if we can't get a deal, then we're going to have to step away from the table.

01:10:19.000 Without any kind of...

01:10:21.000 Signaling that they're going to send more money to Ukraine to support Ukraine.

01:10:25.000 So Russia's like, whoa, just wait him out. 0.96

01:10:27.000 So Zelensky is pro-Russia?

01:10:30.000 Zelensky? No.

01:10:31.000 Well, by not doing the deal with the U.S. No, no, I'm saying Putin isn't doing the deal.

01:10:34.000 Right. By Zelensky not doing the deal because he backed off from the peace agreement.

01:10:39.000 This then, the U.S. is going to pull out of the war.

01:10:43.000 And then Russia gets to walk on in. 0.94

01:10:45.000 Well, I guess the logic is that the more money and the arms that were sent over the Ukraine, the more territory and men and women and civilians and soldiers that Ukraine ended up losing.

01:10:53.000 And this has been an intractable war now going on three years.

01:10:57.000 I think President Trump is looking at like a different perspective of how to end this thing.

01:11:01.000 And Zelensky wants to not come to the peace.

01:11:04.000 Yeah, Zelensky keeps talking about things like taking back Crimea, which is not even on the table.

01:11:10.000 It's a ridiculous idea to think that that's going to happen.

01:11:15.000 Russia's totally entrenched in Crimea.

01:11:19.000 Basically, they've got all Russian-speaking people in that area now.

01:11:22.000 That's not going back to Ukraine.

01:11:24.000 So to even mention that, like the Trump administration is totally right, to mention that stuff is detrimental to the idea of any kind of negotiations.

01:11:34.000 But unless they all actually get to the table, what are you going to do?

01:11:39.000 So what do you think, considering the instability and turmoil in the United States politically?

01:11:44.000 Russia's got no incentive to negotiate because the deep state will block Trump?

01:11:47.000 I mean, I don't know that the deep state will block Trump, but Russia doesn't have any incentive to negotiate because they're winning the war.

01:11:54.000 There's the argument that Ukraine is holding their own.

01:11:59.000 I don't buy it for a second.

01:12:01.000 Russia's beaten the absolute hell out of them. 0.81

01:12:03.000 This is the concern that I had before the election, that it had gotten to a point where Trump couldn't stop it.

01:12:08.000 A couple years ago, my opinion was, if Trump was in office right now, the war would end.

01:12:12.000 If Trump had stayed in office, there'd be no war.

01:12:13.000 But at this point, I think they'll make a good point.

01:12:16.000 Russia's attitude may be, Trump doesn't want the war.

01:12:20.000 His base doesn't want the war.

01:12:22.000 And so he cannot advance.

01:12:24.000 I can do whatever I want now.

01:12:26.000 The war has gotten so entrenched.

01:12:28.000 I feel like the strike on Kiev was Russia saying, we haven't even begun.

01:12:33.000 I mean, let's be real.

01:12:35.000 Russia's got nukes.

01:12:36.000 They've got nuclear artillery.

01:12:39.000 That's low-yield weapons that can be fired from, say, like a howitzer, and they haven't used any of it.

01:12:43.000 If Russia wanted to crush Ukraine, they would. 0.94

01:12:46.000 So this is the problem now with Trump demanding peace.

01:12:50.000 Ukraine, I guess, just pattering and not getting, not, not, I mean, Zelensky leaves.

01:12:57.000 He gets in that fight with Trump and then the deal's frozen or whatever.

01:13:00.000 Now he's backing away.

01:13:01.000 And Russia's attitude is probably, this is perfect. 1.00

01:13:03.000 Look, I think what's going on here, I think President Trump's looking at the big picture here.

01:13:07.000 I think he views China as the biggest threat to America, both financially, economically, militarily.

01:13:12.000 He sees Russia as a massive player in that relationship between Russia and China.

01:13:16.000 I think he wants to separate them militarily and economically.

01:13:19.000 This whole story about the U.S. lifting sanctions on Russian energy, my background's in energy.

01:13:25.000 Trump is pro-U.S.

01:13:27.000 shale, pro-exporting that LNG to the European market.

01:13:30.000 There's no way that Trump is going to lift sanctions while he's trying to pump U.S. energy to the European market.

01:13:36.000 So that's then, of course, you have the Iranian issue where Russia is massively implicated in the Iran nuclear agreement.

01:13:43.000 They're protecting Iran. 0.84

01:13:45.000 They have massive economic agreements with them, military agreements.

01:13:48.000 So Russia is a major player that Trump in many ways has to deal with to solve those outstanding issues that affect America much more so than a territorial dispute between East and West Ukraine.

01:14:01.000 As much as people will talk about Ukraine as being some kind of vital country for the U.S., and if we don't stop...

01:14:12.000 I think that's all posturing.

01:14:17.000 I think that, you know, Russia and Ukraine have a long history.

01:14:21.000 It's not good for Europe, for Ukraine to be, you know, a part of Russia, but I do think that it stopped because really the catalyst was the idea of...

01:14:34.000 Ukraine joining NATO.

01:14:36.000 That's what started this whole thing.

01:14:38.000 The signaling from the Obama administration that they would allow it.

01:14:41.000 There are obviously strategic things when it comes to the Black Sea and Crimea and the ports, but really Russia wants to make sure that Ukraine doesn't join NATO.

01:14:51.000 And I think that otherwise, I don't think that Russia has any kind of designs for the rest of Europe because they're all NATO countries currently.

01:14:59.000 So I think that's all just posturing.

01:15:03.000 So where do we end up?

01:15:05.000 I mean, what's Trump's priority got to be then?

01:15:07.000 Trump's priority honestly has to be China.

01:15:10.000 China's the biggest problem. 1.00

01:15:11.000 Right now, there's no technology race with Russia, right?

01:15:17.000 In the future, in the next five years, AI and power generation are the two biggest issues that the United States has to win on.

01:15:27.000 The U.S. has to beat China when it comes to AI.

01:15:30.000 China doesn't have...

01:15:32.000 Any compunction with using the CRISPR technology on their own soldiers, they're looking to create genetically modified bionic soldiers, and that's not like some kind of...

01:15:46.000 At one point it was science fiction, but nowadays it's not science fiction anymore?

01:15:51.000 We do have an update.

01:15:52.000 It's actually not 9, that's 12, and Reuters is saying that Zelensky claimed it was a North Korean strike, missile.

01:15:59.000 It was a Russian strike, but it was a North Korean missile.

01:16:01.000 Yeah, what I will add to the China thing is we've known now for like a decade that China has been genetically engineering super soldiers.

01:16:08.000 What exactly does that mean?

01:16:10.000 It means that they take the embryos and they genetically, they edit the genes to guarantee specific outcomes like more bone density, more muscle mass, taller, stronger, smarter, etc.

01:16:23.000 It's like Universal Soldier with Jean-Claude Van Damme.

01:16:26.000 Absolutely. Captain China.

01:16:30.000 Well, I mean, think about this, right?

01:16:31.000 So one of the biggest problems that paratroopers in the United States have faced is they end up messing up their knees.

01:16:37.000 Like, when they...

01:16:38.000 Not when you're...

01:16:40.000 Not the guys that are, like, the cool guys jumping out of the plane where they can...

01:16:44.000 Coast themselves down.

01:16:45.000 But regular airborne, they jump out and they're static lines.

01:16:48.000 So they jump out and it automatically opens.

01:16:50.000 They don't have a whole lot of control over it and they can't slow down when they land.

01:16:54.000 So after five years or ten years, everybody that's airborne that jumps a lot has bad knees.

01:17:01.000 Well, if you can increase the bone density and make the cartilage in between in your knees, if you can make it springier, then you can make sure you'll have fewer dudes that land and get injured.

01:17:16.000 I don't know.

01:17:32.000 Certainly they can make the legs stronger and stuff, but genetic engineering for something like that problem is a bit specific.

01:17:37.000 You're better off engineering that problem away.

01:17:39.000 What they're going to do is just make six foot five Ultra-ripped dudes who never have to work out.

01:17:46.000 Five Chinese, that's hilarious. 1.00

01:17:48.000 Yep. I gotta be honest, probably not six feet.

01:17:51.000 I imagine it might be five, eight, five, nine.

01:17:55.000 You don't want to be too tall, actually.

01:17:58.000 Unless, actually, they just genetically engineer it to work better.

01:18:01.000 Shorter people live longer.

01:18:03.000 So, if they're trying to create super soldiers, they're gonna want, like, an average height for lifespan.

01:18:08.000 And they're gonna want to just...

01:18:10.000 They're gonna be able to do whatever they want.

01:18:12.000 But the point is, this is the future, right?

01:18:15.000 So there's going to be significant competition between the U.S. and China about AI, about these types of technologies.

01:18:26.000 Russia is not a leader on these technologies.

01:18:30.000 Russia copies.

01:18:31.000 I mean, China does a lot of copying, too, to be honest with you.

01:18:33.000 But they do have innovation, too.

01:18:34.000 There's a lot of Chinese, and a lot of them are brilliant.

01:18:38.000 And they have no problem with sending students over to steal intellectual property.

01:18:44.000 You'll have Chinese students come over, they'll go to college, they'll go to MIT, they go to STEM fields, they learn as much as they can, and then back to China with that information.

01:18:55.000 And this is the future.

01:18:57.000 As much as Russia is a serious... 0.97

01:19:00.000 The war in Russia and Crimea and Ukraine can be a problem for...

01:19:07.000 The U.S. and for our foreign policy, it is not even in the same realm as China is.

01:19:15.000 Donald Trump as a China hawk, that's the most forward-thinking Donald Trump has been, is in the way that he sees China.

01:19:24.000 Not just economically, but as a military threat as well.

01:19:28.000 Yeah, but look what sanctions really accomplished with Russia, right?

01:19:31.000 They only basically drove these countries to create bricks, right?

01:19:35.000 To destroy the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency.

01:19:38.000 It weakened Russia to the extent that China took advantage of them because they had no other alternative market to sell their...

01:19:44.000 Energy, too.

01:19:44.000 Their weapons, too.

01:19:45.000 India stopped buying them, or India still buys them, but they went all to China.

01:19:48.000 So that's really what happened here.

01:19:50.000 China took full advantage of it. 0.65

01:19:51.000 China's stronger than ever.

01:19:52.000 And I think Donald Trump understands that, and that's why this tariff war is ongoing, and we're almost at a standstill because of China's strength at this point.

01:20:00.000 I want to jump to this story following the Russia stuff.

01:20:04.000 It looks like, I don't know, people are saying World War III again.

01:20:06.000 I mean, I've heard the phrase World War III probably enough at this point, but India and Pakistan are fighting now.

01:20:12.000 India says they'll pursue the Kashmir attackers to the ends of the earth.

01:20:16.000 And a bunch of measures have just been enacted.

01:20:19.000 They say police in the Indian-administered Kashmir claim to have identified three suspects, two of whom are Pakistani, in the Pahlgram attack.

01:20:30.000 Killed 26 people.

01:20:31.000 India's PM Modi vowed to hunt the Pahlgram gunmen to the ends of the earth.

01:20:36.000 They've taken diplomatic measures against India, Pakistan has, closing of airspace, land on the border, and says any attempt to divert the waters of the Indus River will be an act of war.

01:20:47.000 And it is being suggested that war may break out at any moment between India and Pakistan, which is already bad.

01:20:53.000 But then you add all of the other war fronts, and sooner or later, China's going to say, break the dam and take Taiwan.

01:21:00.000 Yeah, I mean, look...

01:21:02.000 Just so that way everyone's on the same page, you know, both Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons, and they hate each other, like with a burning fury.

01:21:15.000 There's religious disputes there, and they're essentially the same, you know, they come from the same background except for the religion.

01:21:23.000 But yeah, they've both got nuclear weapons.

01:21:27.000 Pakistan's got 170.

01:21:28.000 Yeah, I mean, enough to...

01:21:31.000 You know, spark something off.

01:21:33.000 And I don't know what the United States posture is.

01:21:36.000 India has 180.

01:21:37.000 I know the United States looks at India as an ally.

01:21:41.000 I think we look at Pakistan as at least friendly to us.

01:21:45.000 We did have pretty good relations with Pakistan during the war on terror, if I understand correctly.

01:21:51.000 I don't know if the U.S. picks a side.

01:21:54.000 I don't know if the U.S. gets involved.

01:21:56.000 It's likely that because of the posture between India and China, China sides with Pakistan as opposed to India.

01:22:06.000 Historically, the U.S. has been fairly friendly with India because of India's history as a British colony.

01:22:14.000 So I don't know what it turns into.

01:22:17.000 It's definitely a tinderbox that could leak over.

01:22:21.000 I mean, everyone knows, not everyone knows, but most people are familiar with how World War I started, and nobody thought that one man being assassinated would set the whole world into global war.

01:22:33.000 I mean, really, it stopped for 20 or 30 years, but World War II was literally an extension of World War I. Yeah, you know, this thing is really interesting because we're talking about China and the tariffs and Russia and all these things.

01:22:50.000 So what the U.S. right now is actually trying to do is to decouple So I'm not surprised to see that Pakistan or some terrorist groups in 1.00

01:23:20.000 Pakistan are supported by countries like China.

01:23:24.000 Turkey, which has a lot to lose by this alternative corridor, are supporting this kind of stuff.

01:23:28.000 So I think these kind of conflicts are going to heat up, and I think a lot of it is being driven by economics, trade, and other issues, more so than just these random attacks.

01:23:37.000 There's nothing ever random at this level.

01:23:39.000 Wouldn't you say that that kind of incentivizes China to help Pakistan further, or that's more incentive for China to help Pakistan?

01:23:46.000 Yeah, so what's going on is China has this thing called the One Belt, One Road.

01:23:49.000 And Turkey is supposed to be the transit route into Europe from the goods going from China.

01:23:56.000 So Pakistan, being an ally of China, I think is completely in line with what you just said, that China would continue to support Pakistan, to destabilize India, to prevent India from surpassing or replacing China as this new hub that the United States wants. 0.67

01:24:12.000 Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's a whole lot of bad news.

01:24:17.000 But do you think it's going to, like, Do you think we're at risk of all these different regions destabilizing?

01:24:22.000 Yeah, look, I think the world is being split off in the spheres of influence right now, and I think President Trump understands it.

01:24:28.000 I think Vladimir Putin understands it.

01:24:29.000 I think the president of China understands it, too.

01:24:31.000 That's what I think that mineral deal with Ukraine was all about.

01:24:34.000 It was about basically de facto dividing east-west Ukraine.

01:24:38.000 The United States and Europe take over the west. 0.91

01:24:41.000 Russia has some sort of influence in the east.

01:24:44.000 Then you have this issue going on now that I just explained with Pakistan and India.

01:24:47.000 It's splintering.

01:24:48.000 And the United States, rightfully, is focusing on its own backyard. 0.51

01:24:52.000 That's why Secretary of State Rubio, his first foreign policy trip, wasn't to the Middle East.

01:24:56.000 It wasn't to Asia.

01:24:57.000 It was to Latin America.

01:24:58.000 That's what Greenland's all about.

01:25:00.000 That's what the Trump doctrine's all about.

01:25:02.000 And that's what these investments in Latin America are really all about.

01:25:05.000 That's how I see things going on in the world right now.

01:25:10.000 Yeah. I don't know how much more of the World War III I can take.

01:25:14.000 I've certainly had my share of videos where it's like...

01:25:17.000 You know, Russian guy says World War III has come and the Russia-Ukraine thing is World War III.

01:25:22.000 You've got China ready to take Taiwan. 0.59

01:25:25.000 And then you've got here at home, what do we really care about?

01:25:28.000 I don't want to be involved in foreign conflict.

01:25:30.000 You know, I did an interview with Seb Gorka that we put up today.

01:25:35.000 And I told him, I was like, you know, he talks big game on bombing the terrorists, the Houthis, you know, ISIS and Somali and stuff.

01:25:41.000 And I said, I don't want to be this.

01:25:44.000 I'm rather non-interventionist.

01:25:46.000 He made an interesting point.

01:25:48.000 We don't want regime change wars. 0.98

01:25:50.000 We don't want to go into countries and flip over their governments.

01:25:53.000 Trump's not about doing that.

01:25:55.000 But when you've got people firing rockets at trade ships and cargo ships in the Red Sea, American vessels even, well, we've got to stop them.

01:26:02.000 And so it's not an easy answer.

01:26:05.000 And I asked him about letters of market reprisal, and it's...

01:26:09.000 This is the modern version that you get, I suppose.

01:26:11.000 I don't know how the world works, and I'm not saying I can give you a good answer to everybody listening, but when you've got Houthi rebels bombing ships in the Red Sea, shutting down a massive portion of global trade, because you can't go through the Suez anymore, what do you do?

01:26:25.000 Do we just say, we don't want to be involved in a conflict with Yemen, so we just let the Red Sea get shut down?

01:26:32.000 Do we go to war?

01:26:33.000 Yeah, I think these surgical strikes are like...

01:26:37.000 They're being impactful and benefiting global trade, global commerce, and keeping these trade lanes open and the sea lanes open, because this is really what it's about.

01:26:45.000 It's about global commerce.

01:26:46.000 If these people, the hoodies, keep shooting down or attacking vessels, global commerce is going to stop. 1.00

01:26:52.000 Most of trade is done via sea, not by rail.

01:26:55.000 So it's very important to prevent that from happening.

01:26:58.000 But also, alternatively, we can't conduct regime change operations anymore.

01:27:01.000 We can't go back to the neocon George W. Bush days where you're overthrowing, you know, tin pot dictators or, you know, replacing them with other cronies and then just having destabilized countries.

01:27:13.000 And that creates a boomerang that we feel to this day.

01:27:16.000 So I think, you know, President Trump's absolutely right on this.

01:27:18.000 And that's probably why Hegseth, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, is facing some pressure

01:27:23.000 Yeah. Yeah.

01:27:26.000 You know, are you familiar with the fourth turning?

01:27:29.000 Strawside generational theory?

01:27:30.000 Yes. So it's funny because you can keep going back and you have, if we start from the American Revolution, you have an internal conflict between the colonies and the crown, which is internal.

01:27:40.000 Then eight years later, I'm sorry, that was international.

01:27:44.000 That was, you know, foreign powers like France getting involved in the British War.

01:27:47.000 The Civil War was internal.

01:27:49.000 Then you have World War I and II, which is external.

01:27:52.000 And now there's a question of whether or not the fourth turning for us will be internal or external.

01:27:56.000 But I got to be honest, it kind of sounds like it's going to be both.

01:27:59.000 With the wars we're seeing overseas and the internal fighting between the cult deep state and Trump, it seems like it's going to be everything, everywhere, you know?

01:28:15.000 I think that's why we had to stop all these Soros-financed DAs in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, that were really instigating this behavior of criminality, letting the criminals off, and the innocents holding the bag of those type of policies,

01:28:31.000 the war against the police, defunding the police movement.

01:28:34.000 All of these bizarre agendas that were propagated and pushed down the American people's throats, I think, created that division.

01:28:40.000 And then you have that in tandem with the open border.

01:28:43.000 And this ticking time bomb with millions of potential liabilities that are now in the country legally, that's a recipe for disaster.

01:28:50.000 But I fear that the corruption may be too entrenched in the United States.

01:28:53.000 You know, we started off the show talking about this judge.

01:28:56.000 His wife is arrested.

01:28:59.000 Look, you know, I've brought it up time and time again.

01:29:00.000 We were talking to Ro Khanna.

01:29:02.000 And he was...

01:29:03.000 Was Ro Khanna born here or is he a naturalized citizen?

01:29:07.000 I think he was born here, but I'm not sure.

01:29:10.000 But he said we should give all undocumented immigrants a path, and he's not wrong to think that. 1.00

01:29:14.000 The issue is, of course he does.

01:29:16.000 His parents are immigrants.

01:29:18.000 So in his moral worldview, everyone should be allowed to be an immigrant.

01:29:21.000 Not me.

01:29:22.000 I come from several generations of Americans who, my family was just telling me, fought in the Revolution.

01:29:30.000 We're in the American Revolution War, Revolutionary War.

01:29:33.000 I actually think I may have had family on both sides of the Civil War, to be honest.

01:29:36.000 I have no idea.

01:29:37.000 But I think so.

01:29:39.000 For me, the legacy and history of this nation matters substantially more than it does to an immigrant. 1.00

01:29:45.000 They came here and their history as their home country split with some of America.

01:29:49.000 Mine's just America.

01:29:50.000 To be fair, I have a Korean grandmother, but I don't really know much about that at all other than my family was largely just American tradition.

01:29:57.000 So when I look at what's going on with immigration, we've got to such a degree of the children of recent immigrants. 1.00

01:30:06.000 I got no problem with immigration over a long period of time.

01:30:08.000 The problem is too much all at once leads to a large portion of your country creating its own culture, its own separate worldview, and then conflict breaks out.

01:30:19.000 And I feel like that's where we're heading.

01:30:22.000 Not to be black-billed.

01:30:23.000 I mean, I can be white-billed and say that young men are more conservative and more likely to be Christian.

01:30:31.000 Maybe there's a shift back in the right direction, but I wonder if everything we're seeing is going to result in an internal conflict of some sort because we can't break the entrenchment, at least not in four years.

01:30:41.000 Is it your sense or anyone's sense that if there is some kind of international issue with some kind of war or whatever like that, do you think that that would solidify people in America?

01:30:53.000 Do you think that it would drive people apart?

01:30:55.000 No way.

01:30:57.000 It's going to drive everybody apart.

01:30:59.000 I mean, like...

01:31:00.000 War happens in Ukraine and the country splits on it.

01:31:03.000 There are a lot of people who thought COVID was going to unify the country.

01:31:06.000 No, it split the country in half.

01:31:07.000 Everything is falling down these lines.

01:31:09.000 And, you know, I got to be honest. 0.94

01:31:12.000 Is it just that Democrats are just evil? 0.95

01:31:15.000 They're just, this is it? 0.97

01:31:16.000 Because, like, you bring up an issue and it's like, here's an MS-13 gang member who beats his wife.

01:31:21.000 And they're like, we're for it.

01:31:22.000 And I'm just like, oh.

01:31:23.000 Okay. That's a weird thing to be in favor of.

01:31:25.000 I think that's what you were saying, though, about American identity vis-a-vis new immigrants and people holding on to the old country. 0.99

01:31:32.000 And I think that what the Democrats are pushing is identity politics to the extent where they want people to always feel like there's one foot in the United States, one foot in some external conflict, whether it's in Latin America or in the Middle East.

01:31:45.000 And that's why so many of the Democrats are so invested in all these conflicts and they're always on the wrong side.

01:31:49.000 They're always supporting Hamas, for example.

01:31:52.000 They're always supporting anti-American policies, anti-Native American policies.

01:31:58.000 I think that's something that Trump is completely against.

01:32:03.000 And when he says he wants to unify...

01:32:06.000 Well, I think AI is going to wipe out the planet, and I think China is going to win. 1.00

01:32:17.000 Okay, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but AI is stealing all of our IP to program their AI, and in the United States, you can't do that.

01:32:25.000 If the U.S. doesn't, if the actual federal, and I hate to admit this, but if the federal government doesn't do something about, first of all, Look,

01:32:45.000 know, high-tech advanced chips here, we're going to lose.

01:32:50.000 Look,

01:32:52.000 when I was discussing the singularity, the ability of an AI to invent things for you, the reason people are freaking out is because China may get there first.

01:33:02.000 Because they just steal our tech.

01:33:05.000 In the West, we're constrained by IP law, and IP law is a good thing. 0.66

01:33:10.000 But China is, the Chinese Communist Party is evil, and they're not constrained by any of this. 0.96

01:33:15.000 If they can get to the point where they reach artificial superintelligence first, and then, say, generate schematics for cold fusion or other weapons technology, they're going to advance so rapidly we'll be left in the dust.

01:33:30.000 If you're not cheating, you're not serious about winning.

01:33:33.000 And China is very serious about winning.

01:33:35.000 And they will steal as much as they can.

01:33:38.000 They have every intention of beating the United States.

01:33:41.000 And as long as the United States has the policies and the posture towards China that we do, they're going to win. 1.00

01:33:48.000 They're going to eat our lunch.

01:33:50.000 Because the U.S. is playing by the rules and China's breaking them. 0.94

01:33:52.000 Absolutely. From the World Trade Organization to the post-World War II economic, financial, military architecture that we propped up, that's all dissolving in front of our eyes.

01:34:02.000 Absolutely. So that's something that I think we need to rewrite.

01:34:05.000 And also, to your point, the United States has been...

01:34:09.000 We talked about this before.

01:34:11.000 Tim talked about it a lot.

01:34:12.000 The idea of China is rising and the U.S. is kind of a crescendo on the way down and what the policy of the U.S. has been or has seemed to be when it was Obama and Biden was to prevent the U.S. and China getting into a conflict.

01:34:29.000 All right, everybody, we're going to go to your chats and hear what you guys have to say.

01:34:33.000 But before we do, we've got a great sponsor.

01:34:35.000 It's Lear Capital.

01:34:36.000 Go to leartim.com.

01:34:39.000 That's L-E-A-R-Tim.com.

01:34:42.000 And you're going to get yourself some gold and silver.

01:34:45.000 Trump's trying to make America great again.

01:34:47.000 It's not going to happen overnight.

01:34:49.000 Personally, I have held gold and silver for a very long time.

01:34:52.000 I bought my first silver probably 20 years ago.

01:34:55.000 And to be completely honest, I even have a large box of copper.

01:34:58.000 I literally do.

01:34:59.000 There's a copper ingot out in the other room.

01:35:01.000 I just think it's good to have a store of value.

01:35:04.000 You know, diversify it where you can.

01:35:06.000 Now, the crazy thing is gold skyrocketed with news of tariffs and what's been going on internationally.

01:35:12.000 People have been getting cold feet.

01:35:14.000 So gold spiked up to, I think it's at what, like 3,400.

01:35:18.000 Goldman Sachs, the same experts who are predicting 3,200 an ounce, are saying it could reach $4,500 an ounce or more.

01:35:26.000 So while the government can print, borrow, and run recurring budget deficits, you can't do this.

01:35:31.000 Your retirement, your savings, your pension, 401k are fixed income accounts, so you're not going to get a bailout.

01:35:36.000 That's why more Americans are acquiring gold and silver to protect their money and their own financial future.

01:35:41.000 I bought a bunch of wild goods put in a safe, and it has been a great store of value.

01:35:47.000 So Lear Capital, it's an education-first company.

01:35:49.000 You've got no pressure to buy.

01:35:50.000 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee over 25 years in business with over 3 billion trusted transactions, thousands of five-star reviews.

01:35:58.000 You've got a lot of companies to choose from, but Lear?

01:36:36.000 Shout out Lear.

01:36:37.000 I really do appreciate the sponsorship.

01:36:39.000 But let's go to your Rumble Rants and Super Chats now.

01:36:43.000 And let's see what we got.

01:36:48.000 Yeah, it was a big Catholic creator collab between myself and Matt Fratt, and thank you for the recognition.

01:37:02.000 We decided that we were going to be changing PCC from pop culture corporations

01:37:07.000 Yeah, well, Brett is Catholic.

01:37:12.000 Is he really?

01:37:13.000 He was raised Catholic.

01:37:14.000 Ah, he's lapsed, right?

01:37:15.000 I just consider him Catholic.

01:37:16.000 You're just Catholic.

01:37:17.000 Mary considers me Catholic, though.

01:37:19.000 Do you really?

01:37:20.000 Yeah. If you're baptized Catholic, you're Catholic. 0.71

01:37:24.000 Well, we just talked to someone that's not true.

01:37:26.000 You're baptized Christian, but you have to be confirmed Catholic, right? 0.97

01:37:28.000 Right. I actually did get confirmed later than most.

01:37:31.000 I got confirmed three years ago, but I guess that means I get my gold star of approval.

01:37:37.000 I'm still not allowed to have an opinion on the Pope, though, huh?

01:37:40.000 No. Yeah, because if you don't submit to his authority, then who are you to talk?

01:37:45.000 I guess.

01:37:45.000 That's my take.

01:37:46.000 Corporal Fett says, the people irate about Tim explaining how Carmelo will be defended is infuriating.

01:37:51.000 Tim never said that he was innocent, just that he would be defended and that there wasn't yet enough evidence.

01:37:57.000 Yeah, the issue I believe largely comes from people on X are spreading a false narrative about what the story was.

01:38:05.000 And saying things like, Carmelo didn't know anybody there and he was trespassing.

01:38:09.000 It's like he wasn't trespassing and he did know.

01:38:11.000 The police report literally says he was friends with the witness who ID'd him.

01:38:14.000 And I actually didn't know this either, that Austin Metcalf was 6'225".

01:38:19.000 And so I asked Andrew Branca, a self-defense lawyer, will that play a role?

01:38:24.000 Of course it will.

01:38:25.000 So we don't know how it's going to play out.

01:38:28.000 I do think there's probably video evidence that the police saw and this one's going to be...

01:38:34.000 You can't stab a guy even if you think he's bigger than you.

01:38:36.000 It doesn't matter.

01:38:37.000 It's a high school, right?

01:38:38.000 There's another story that's going viral now of another dude getting stabbed and being put in critical condition.

01:38:43.000 This one's not going as viral, though, because the dude who got stabbed was ground and pounding the dude.

01:38:48.000 And then someone tried to pull him off him.

01:38:51.000 The dude started attacking the other guy, and then the dude who was on the ground got up, got in the fight, and then stabbed him.

01:38:56.000 So that was actually in Alexandria, I think, in Fairfax County, which is not too far from here.

01:39:02.000 Let's go.

01:39:03.000 Barry and McGrohan says, Tim, has anybody checked Ian for a heartbeat today?

01:39:09.000 Ian, you know, it's not fair to say this because he's not here, but I'm going to say it anyway.

01:39:14.000 He doesn't understand that he doesn't have evidence for anything he's claiming.

01:39:19.000 And he believes that because he read a book that claims science is real, it is real, because they told him it was evidence.

01:39:28.000 And I'm just like, I don't know.

01:39:30.000 I think his mind could use him expanding.

01:39:36.000 And it's funny considering, you know, everyone assumes Ian's expanded a little too much, but nope.

01:39:42.000 Nope. You probably would have enjoyed that conversation with him.

01:39:46.000 What was it all? 0.99

01:39:47.000 He arbitrarily brought up that Christians are dumb for believing the Bible, basically. 0.99

01:39:52.000 I'm being, he didn't say dumb, but he said, when I said the left blindly just believes whatever in the news, he says the right has that too, and it's the Bible. 0.99

01:40:00.000 A 2,000-year-old book that they're claiming without evidence.

01:40:03.000 And not that I'm a Christian or anything, but I was just like, there is a philosophy of knowledge that the only thing I know is that I know nothing.

01:40:12.000 We are choosing what to believe based on our perceptions and what we believe is likely correct.

01:40:17.000 So, you know, I asked Ian, how do you know that graphene is real?

01:40:21.000 You've never done the experiments.

01:40:22.000 You've never made graphene.

01:40:23.000 You never tested graphene.

01:40:24.000 You've never done anything.

01:40:25.000 You just read someone's article about graphene and believed it was true.

01:40:30.000 And he's like, no.

01:40:31.000 I have evidence.

01:40:32.000 And it's like, okay.

01:40:33.000 The definition of faith, right?

01:40:35.000 Indeed. Indeed.

01:40:37.000 So there's obvious evidence.

01:40:39.000 Like, if I were to take this mallet and whip it as hard as I could at the window, the window would break.

01:40:43.000 To be fair, I don't know if it's rubber, but I assume it would break.

01:40:46.000 There's things we know that are simple.

01:40:47.000 But for the most part, when someone tells me, like, you know, electrons are real, I just believe you, I guess.

01:40:54.000 Yeah. Most people just don't know how much they operate on faith on a day-to-day basis.

01:41:00.000 And then use that as a way to intellectually grandstand over people who have faith.

01:41:06.000 And to be sure, like, there is a component of the leap of faith in religion.

01:41:11.000 But that's not to say there's no evidence.

01:41:14.000 There's plenty of evidence and he has not read it.

01:41:17.000 And I don't know if he's even willing to.

01:41:18.000 It's really about, like, do you have the willingness to engage with that material?

01:41:23.000 Like, do you have the willingness to read Aquinas' five proofs?

01:41:27.000 Do you have the willingness to read about historical evidence for the resurrection?

01:41:32.000 Well, I would just say this for, you know, and Ian will have his chance, so I do feel it's unfair.

01:41:40.000 He's not here to defend himself, but...

01:41:41.000 For a guy who loves graphene, who's never actually done any of the scientific research to test and be in graphene, he has a lot of faith in graphene.

01:41:50.000 Like, dude, if you've never actually made a superconductor or a graphene lithium battery or gone to the labs and actually watched them manufacture it and then pull up the electron microscope to show you the one-dimensional lattice or whatever, you've never even done that.

01:42:05.000 Does he deify graphene in his worldview?

01:42:09.000 Would you say?

01:42:09.000 Not literally, but yeah.

01:42:11.000 It's an idol.

01:42:12.000 It's like people idolize things and they deify things in their lives that don't make demands of them and what they can do with their genitals. 0.57

01:42:19.000 Not saying that that is Ian, but that is the case for a lot of people.

01:42:24.000 They just choose what to worship and it's usually the thing that makes the least demands of them and what they can and can't do with their genitals. 1.00

01:42:31.000 I'm going to say this to Ian as a challenge.

01:42:35.000 People we tend to have on this show who are Christian or Catholic or otherwise have done more research into their faith than he has into graphene.

01:42:45.000 He's done a lot of research into graphene.

01:42:48.000 He's never actually gone to a lab and spoken with the experts and tested it.

01:42:56.000 He said he's never even looked through an electron microscope.

01:42:59.000 So when you have people who have traveled the world and met with...

01:43:03.000 Great religious thinkers and preachers.

01:43:06.000 Like, I gotta be honest.

01:43:09.000 I'm not sure.

01:43:09.000 I could be wrong that Ian's ever even gone on a podcast about graphene.

01:43:13.000 How many podcasts have you gone on about faith and religion?

01:43:15.000 Are there podcasts about graphene?

01:43:17.000 Most people that say that they, like, say they've read something or they've studied it, most people haven't actually done a lot.

01:43:27.000 Or in-depth, especially nowadays, I do wonder exactly how much he's actually read about, like, graphene.

01:43:35.000 Because when he's articulating it, he seems to know, like, kind of have a wavetop understanding, but I don't know that he has a deep understanding of it.

01:43:45.000 He's never really...

01:43:46.000 Kind of really gotten into the depths of it.

01:43:50.000 We should call into the Colin portion.

01:43:53.000 Yeah, Ian.

01:43:54.000 We're supposed to have a religion show with him.

01:43:58.000 I don't think it's ever happened.

01:43:59.000 But let's not harp on that.

01:44:01.000 He'll get his chance to respond.

01:44:02.000 Let's read some Super Chats. 0.87

01:44:05.000 Quantum Strange Quark.

01:44:06.000 Oh, we didn't get into this story.

01:44:07.000 Has anyone considered that the Trump 2028 hat might be referring to another Trump's just Don Jr. or Eric?

01:44:12.000 Since he can't serve again.

01:44:14.000 Yep. I'm surprised people, like, more people haven't been saying that.

01:44:18.000 Trump put out the 2028 hat, and what did it say?

01:44:21.000 Rewrite the rules or something like that?

01:44:23.000 Ha! There are other Trumps.

01:44:26.000 It's just a troll. 0.52

01:44:27.000 Barron, 20, what would that be?

01:44:30.000 30. It wouldn't even be in the 2030s.

01:44:32.000 How old is he now?

01:44:32.000 He's 19?

01:44:33.000 He's 18, I thought.

01:44:34.000 He's 18?

01:44:35.000 Yeah. I think he just turned 19. You know, 20 years before Barron came.

01:44:40.000 I think he's 19. He's 19. Yeah.

01:44:43.000 Yes, March 20th is his birthday.

01:44:45.000 Just turned 19. So he's got 16 more years.

01:44:49.000 41. I'm looking forward to it.

01:44:51.000 2042. Yeah.

01:44:54.000 He's gonna be like...

01:44:55.000 He's super tall.

01:44:56.000 What is he, like, eight feet tall?

01:44:57.000 He might be AI president by then, though.

01:44:59.000 No, no, no.

01:44:59.000 Here's what's going to happen.

01:45:01.000 After World War IV ends, because timelines are crunched due to the speed of communication, so World War III is going to start soon, last for about five years.

01:45:09.000 Then we're going to have like a year break, then World War IV.

01:45:12.000 Then once most of the world is destroyed, seven foot tall, 300 pounds of pure muscle barren.

01:45:18.000 Grizzled and scarred with a beard is going to run for president of the unified territories of what was once called America.

01:45:27.000 Kind of like a John Connor kind of situation.

01:45:30.000 I can't hear you.

01:45:33.000 Like Halo?

01:45:34.000 Post-World War IV, you're going to have to have a low enough rad count to be the president, so that way you're not going to die in office.

01:45:42.000 All right.

01:45:43.000 Greg Nuvier says, Happy 38th birthday to me.

01:45:45.000 This is my last childless birthday.

01:45:47.000 My wife and I are expecting twins this summer.

01:45:49.000 Congrats. Let's get this birth rate up to baby boom, too. 1.00

01:45:52.000 Let's go, babies. 0.89

01:45:54.000 I had lunch with the family today.

01:45:55.000 It was beautiful.

01:45:57.000 My daughter is so well-mannered.

01:45:59.000 We had Korean barbecue, and she slept the whole time.

01:46:02.000 And then she slept the whole way back.

01:46:04.000 Congrats, by the way.

01:46:04.000 Thank you.

01:46:05.000 It was perfect.

01:46:07.000 I was told that I was a very quiet baby as well.

01:46:11.000 So, we're blessed.

01:46:12.000 She sleeps and she only cries when she needs something specific and it's relatively easy to manage.

01:46:19.000 Let's go.

01:46:21.000 The Collins Effect says, look for the article about CA letting out an illegal immigrant who was deported twice.

01:46:25.000 He was sent to jail two years ago for manslaughter.

01:46:28.000 He killed two young adults drunk and high while driving.

01:46:30.000 There was another story that I saw going viral where the New York Times wrote about a dude from Jamaica.

01:46:35.000 Do you see this one?

01:46:36.000 He came here and then like right away kidnapped somebody and went to prison for 15 years.

01:46:40.000 And then...

01:46:41.000 He just got deported to Jamaica.

01:46:43.000 And the New York Times is like, but he doesn't know this place.

01:46:45.000 He was living in America for so long. 0.97

01:46:47.000 It's like, yeah, in prison.

01:46:49.000 What? Two warm meals a day.

01:46:52.000 Yeah. Daniel Schultz says, listening to David Hogg speak is like drinking a tumbler of hot garbage water while trying to gargle broken glass.

01:47:06.000 You know, the Democrats' strongest man is David Hogg.

01:47:11.000 Or the strongest man the Democrats have is David Hogg.

01:47:14.000 Is that an insult to David Hogg or am I, I'm sorry, an insult to the Democrats or praise for David Hogg?

01:47:19.000 You decide.

01:47:21.000 It could go either way.

01:47:24.000 Tom Kavanaugh says the problem with the real ID and other things like that is simple.

01:47:28.000 The government is not trustworthy.

01:47:30.000 Yes, but the reason I was asking the question is because what will they do?

01:47:34.000 What is the actual manifested action they will take?

01:47:41.000 What have we here?

01:47:43.000 Sean H says, Hey Tim, it's my 39th birthday today.

01:47:45.000 I was wondering if I could get a birthday shoutout.

01:47:48.000 Shoutout Sean H. I'm working late at my restaurant, doing what I love and listening to Timcast as I do every night.

01:47:53.000 This is my forever news source.

01:47:55.000 Really do appreciate it, man.

01:47:56.000 Well, we just, you know, we hang out and I complain about things and my friends join me in that endeavor.

01:48:01.000 I'm glad that you found value in it.

01:48:05.000 Let's see, what do we got?

01:48:06.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Nice black pill segment, bro.

01:48:09.000 LMAO. Hey.

01:48:10.000 You know?

01:48:11.000 You gotta be prepared for what's coming.

01:48:14.000 Kit Blank says, Phil and Mary, the human future in music isn't unique creativity.

01:48:18.000 It's ephemeral and analog performances until the T2 robots.

01:48:25.000 Yeah, did you guys see when they brought Tupac back? 0.87

01:48:28.000 The hologram Tupac, yeah.

01:48:31.000 I'm just more interested in the question of how we ought to live if that is inevitably the future.

01:48:40.000 Not whether it will happen or what's going to look like.

01:48:43.000 I'm just more interested in what we ought to do as a response.

01:48:45.000 So I think one scenario, which doesn't account for any unforeseen variables, is that liberals are going to plug their brains into the machine in two seconds.

01:48:56.000 Is that what Neuralink's all about?

01:48:58.000 Neuralink right now is mostly about, it's reading brain signals.

01:49:02.000 And the read-write technologies they're doing so far is that it's largely read.

01:49:06.000 So they can plug something in your brain and it can take data from your brain and then put it somewhere else.

01:49:11.000 So there's a guy who plays civilization with his mind.

01:49:14.000 He's paraplegic and he's just plugged in.

01:49:15.000 He plays Civ.

01:49:16.000 And it's awesome that he can move things around with his mind and control it that way.

01:49:19.000 It's really interesting.

01:49:20.000 Is it awesome though?

01:49:21.000 Yeah. Like I feel like I don't think that's awesome.

01:49:25.000 Someone who's paraplegic and is like bedridden

01:49:28.000 Yeah, but like...

01:49:31.000 Would you rather he just be laying there?

01:49:33.000 The trade-off being either no one has it or paraplegic people can play Tetris. 0.60

01:49:39.000 I just would rather no one has it.

01:49:42.000 Well, what's likely going to happen...

01:49:44.000 I don't think that that's actually improving anyone's quality of life.

01:49:47.000 That, guys.

01:49:48.000 And the next phase is they're going to attach it to the nerves where they've been severed and then you'll be able to walk again.

01:49:56.000 Yeah, I don't really care.

01:49:58.000 Like, human suffering is not something that we're going to overcome.

01:50:02.000 If you broke your spine, you would get it.

01:50:04.000 No. Yeah, you would.

01:50:06.000 How do you know that?

01:50:07.000 Because I don't think anybody on Earth would believe you if you lost the ability to walk.

01:50:11.000 You would say no to having your body healed.

01:50:13.000 Because you probably get a bunch of medications that someone 200 years ago would have argued with the same thing that you're arguing now.

01:50:20.000 About, like, what?

01:50:21.000 Ibuprofen? Antibiotics and other weird chemicals they make and, like...

01:50:27.000 Let me think of a...

01:50:29.000 I can't think of the word.

01:50:33.000 It's an antibiotic that's like synthesized chemical.

01:50:36.000 Like, look up how they make standard antibiotics, even like amoxicillin.

01:50:40.000 And it's nuts.

01:50:41.000 It's not something a person can just do.

01:50:43.000 It's like laboratory grade.

01:50:45.000 Dozens of people have to do all these different things.

01:50:48.000 And I'm sure a long time ago people would have been like sorcery.

01:50:52.000 And they would have strung the scientists and doctors up for doing it.

01:50:55.000 Now you're like, nobody should have this technology.

01:50:58.000 A chip that can connect severed, like a cast.

01:51:01.000 Or, you know, like crutches or leg braces.

01:51:06.000 These are mechanical things that attach to a person to correct a problem and heal them and increase their quality of life.

01:51:13.000 I mean, you can print prosthetic hands and stuff now.

01:51:19.000 They've got the robot ones with chains and you can pull your arm and it closes and opens.

01:51:23.000 That would definitely be...

01:51:25.000 They would be like, that's possessed.

01:51:27.000 There's demons in your arm.

01:51:28.000 Compared to a hundred years ago, we're like living cyborgs.

01:51:31.000 Yeah. Compared to what people...

01:51:33.000 I mean, look at your cell phone even.

01:51:34.000 Yeah, this is like an appendage at this point.

01:51:36.000 It's like my...

01:51:38.000 whatever. You'd be called a witch. 0.98

01:51:40.000 They'd be like, this is demonic.

01:51:41.000 How could you do this?

01:51:43.000 How did you put those people in there?

01:51:46.000 Or just, you're using a seer stone, and that's sorcery.

01:51:49.000 Yeah. And that is a hell-worthy trespass.

01:51:51.000 Like, you'd be strung up as a witch.

01:51:53.000 So, my view is just, I would bet a large sum of money that if you were paralyzed from the waist down, and Elon said, this little chip, we can attach to the severed portion, and you'll walk tomorrow, you'd say yes.

01:52:09.000 Attached to what?

01:52:11.000 So, where the spine is severed?

01:52:13.000 You're not talking about Neuralink?

01:52:14.000 This is Neuralink.

01:52:15.000 This is Neuralink.

01:52:17.000 Neuralink is connecting the nerves and reading and writing to the body or to a computer.

01:52:21.000 So, if you severed your spine, and from the waist down you were paralyzed, and Elon said, we will take this chip, attach it to the top, and then gap where the sever is to the bottom, reconnecting the signals, you will then be able to walk and feel and everything.

01:52:40.000 Okay, I'm talking about an either-or situation.

01:52:45.000 That the implication is this will not be a technology primarily used for addressing physical medical impairments.

01:52:55.000 It will be used to enhance the so-called enhance the human body.

01:53:01.000 If it's an either-or choice, if I press a button where we have a world where we can't...

01:53:11.000 Fix these medical impairments, but also we're not going to have bionic enhancements, or we're going to have both.

01:53:21.000 I would say neither is better.

01:53:24.000 Agreed, but you used it in two seconds.

01:53:26.000 No. You used the internet, too.

01:53:28.000 What's the internet for?

01:53:30.000 How is that a comparison at all?

01:53:33.000 So what is the internet for?

01:53:36.000 Communications? Sure.

01:53:38.000 What is it used for, actually?

01:53:43.000 Porn, degeneracy, weirdos having meetups, dating apps.

01:53:48.000 The principal function of the internet is for human degeneracy. 0.57

01:53:51.000 It's not supposed to be.

01:53:53.000 It's supposed to be standard economics, but instead, people don't go outside anymore, they don't exercise anymore, and they largely just self-gratify by connecting themselves to the internet.

01:54:01.000 They go online and argue with strangers and look at pictures of cats, and then do untoward things in their bathrooms.

01:54:06.000 The argument was that...

01:54:08.000 The speed of the internet was rapidly increased because the market for porn was so high.

01:54:12.000 They needed to deliver images faster.

01:54:14.000 So they were trying to figure out how to transmit data.

01:54:17.000 But you do use it.

01:54:19.000 So in the event the technology emerged, you wouldn't go, nobody should use this.

01:54:24.000 You'd be like, yeah, I'll use it.

01:54:26.000 It would be ubiquitous.

01:54:27.000 Everybody would use it.

01:54:28.000 Not to mention, in terms of Neuralink and losing control of your legs, who would clean you and bathe you?

01:54:35.000 It's like the choice for an individual between having to hire someone to lift you into a bathtub so that they can wash you and wipe your butt for you for the rest of your life and you can't go up and down stairs and some buildings are now inaccessible to you.

01:54:48.000 You can't play basketball. 0.83

01:54:49.000 You can't do sports.

01:54:51.000 People are going to say, I'll take the chip.

01:54:53.000 And you would too.

01:54:53.000 I feel like this is a eugenic mentality.

01:54:55.000 It may be.

01:54:56.000 That life isn't worth living if you're impaired. 1.00

01:54:59.000 Never said that.

01:55:00.000 I'm saying the average human...

01:55:01.000 It's the same mentality that's used to justify... 0.99

01:55:05.000 Killing these people.

01:55:06.000 You genuinely believe that given the choice, people would not choose to have their ability to walk again? 0.94

01:55:10.000 I'm talking about myself.

01:55:11.000 Right, yeah.

01:55:12.000 I'm not talking about everybody else.

01:55:13.000 I'm talking about me.

01:55:14.000 So what about that is eugenic?

01:55:16.000 To say that people would choose...

01:55:18.000 No, I'm talking about the mentality that people generally have today, which is behind a lot of the justifications for abortion as well.

01:55:28.000 Who's going...

01:55:29.000 That life isn't worth living if you're impaired. 1.00

01:55:31.000 How would you pay someone to clean your butt for you? 1.00

01:55:36.000 In the situation where I decline to use Neuralink? 1.00

01:55:40.000 Let's say you become paraplegic.

01:55:42.000 How are you going to pay for your wheelchair?

01:55:44.000 Who's going to make it for you?

01:55:46.000 Are you going to insist the government pay for your wheelchair for you?

01:55:50.000 I don't know.

01:55:52.000 I haven't thought about this insane hypothetical that you came up with.

01:55:55.000 But this is not an insane hypothetical.

01:55:56.000 This is a reality for a lot of people who are paraplegic and are excited for Neuralink to help them walk once again.

01:56:02.000 They need assistance.

01:56:03.000 They wear diapers, sometimes colostomy bags.

01:56:06.000 They have to hire nurses to clean them. 1.00

01:56:09.000 Not all, but many require help getting into bath, and this is a reality for people who can't move their legs.

01:56:15.000 Or how about from your chest that you can't move your arms?

01:56:18.000 You're kind of reading into it that I'm accusing them of some kind of moral failing if they would choose differently than I would.

01:56:28.000 I'm saying...

01:56:29.000 There is no reality in which you could convince me you would not take the cure.

01:56:34.000 Well, okay, then that's just what you believe, and then you can just believe that what I say isn't true, and there's no way to falsify what you say.

01:56:43.000 If I'm just lying, like, okay, you can just believe that...

01:56:47.000 I just don't think...

01:56:49.000 Nothing I say could convince you otherwise, so there's...

01:56:51.000 There you go, Tim, you're right.

01:56:54.000 Well, it's an opinion.

01:56:57.000 Like... It's not a fact statement.

01:56:59.000 I'm saying...

01:56:59.000 That was literally my point.

01:57:01.000 I don't think you can convince anybody that you would not...

01:57:06.000 Like, I'll ask you guys.

01:57:08.000 If you...

01:57:09.000 Your spine was severed and you couldn't walk anymore, and Elon said, I can install this chip.

01:57:13.000 It's a 20-minute procedure, and then you will be walking again by tomorrow.

01:57:19.000 Oh, yeah.

01:57:20.000 I would do it.

01:57:21.000 I'm pretty sure 99.999% of people would do it, save maybe, like...

01:57:26.000 Perhaps you're correct.

01:57:27.000 Seventh-day Adventists might be like, no.

01:57:29.000 But that only is possible if there's someone who's going to take care of you.

01:57:32.000 Someone's going to get you the wheelchair you need.

01:57:33.000 They're going to build a ramp to your house.

01:57:35.000 You're going to have a support system because now you're not going to be able to do the same kind of work.

01:57:38.000 So how are you going to make money?

01:57:39.000 I suppose for you, your personality, so you would be able to do the same kind of work.

01:57:42.000 So that was wrong.

01:57:44.000 But for a lot of people, if you're like a construction worker and you're in an accident and now you can't walk, you can't do construction.

01:57:51.000 So who takes care of you? 0.88

01:57:52.000 For a lot of these people, they rely on the kind graces of others.

01:57:55.000 But if Elon walked up and said, this ship will make you walk, they'll say please.

01:57:58.000 There are a lot of people that beg Elon every day on X saying, please, please, can I get in this trial?

01:58:02.000 I'll do anything.

01:58:04.000 I think that we just have such drastically different worldviews that we're never going to see this the same way because I just view human suffering differently.

01:58:14.000 And I think that human suffering can...

01:58:19.000 Bring about other goods that aren't as obvious as being able-bodied.

01:58:24.000 But my point is, someone else has to keep you alive.

01:58:29.000 That's a good thing.

01:58:31.000 Who will do it?

01:58:32.000 People helping other people.

01:58:32.000 Will do it.

01:58:35.000 Well, you either hire someone or it's family members.

01:58:40.000 That's... The case for people who are disabled currently. 0.99

01:58:43.000 I think the reality is for a lot of people, they struggle with that.

01:58:46.000 And so there's non-profits that will send people to help them because they may not have anybody.

01:58:51.000 But we'll grab a couple more of these chats.

01:58:54.000 Let's go.

01:58:54.000 What do we got?

01:58:56.000 Insert clever name here says, Yes, Phil.

01:58:58.000 Sleep token.

01:58:58.000 New song tonight at midnight.

01:59:01.000 Oh, boy.

01:59:01.000 Oh, there you go.

01:59:02.000 Aram And.

01:59:05.000 Aram And says, new media manipulating countries for headlines in wars.

01:59:09.000 Sounds familiar.

01:59:10.000 1997 Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies.

01:59:12.000 Thank you.

01:59:13.000 I don't know.

01:59:15.000 I've not seen it.

01:59:20.000 Can get a new grad degree free up to $120,000, but can't forgive 45K of remaining loan debt.

01:59:28.000 That's effing crazy.

01:59:30.000 Already repaid 80, by the way.

01:59:33.000 Yeah, I think we should...

01:59:35.000 There's got to be forgiveness, but it's got to be...

01:59:39.000 You have to pay back what you were given.

01:59:41.000 Interest rates at this moment should be suspended.

01:59:44.000 So you're paying back what you were given.

01:59:46.000 And if you've already paid more, then your debt is now gone and you get a tax credit for the excess.

01:59:52.000 Because there are people who took out like a 50k loan and were paying the minimums because either they weren't working.

01:59:58.000 And I get it.

01:59:59.000 Some people say...

02:00:00.000 It's, you know, people chose not to work and they deferred.

02:00:02.000 No, no.

02:00:02.000 Let's say there's a person out there, 50K in loans for school, couldn't find work, so they're paying the minimums, and it was going up.

02:00:11.000 And so there are a lot of people that are like, I took out a 50K loan, I've paid $63,000, and I still own, oh, 37. And it's like, okay, pay back the remaining, you know, you've already paid more, so we're going to get rid of it.

02:00:25.000 You've paid back your debt.

02:00:26.000 Maybe we put the interest on top where it's like, We're not going to be the tax credit because there is a buying power issue there.

02:00:32.000 But if we don't do this, millennials won't buy houses. 0.94

02:00:35.000 They're not going to have families.

02:00:36.000 They're not going to get jobs.

02:00:37.000 That's largely why we're saying not completely, but it's a component.

02:00:42.000 All right, let's go.

02:00:46.000 Let's grab.

02:00:47.000 What is this?

02:00:48.000 Alonzo Pre says, correct me if I'm wrong, but Border Patrol and ICE are doing mass hiring and offering sign-on bonuses.

02:00:54.000 I looked into it training eight weeks, three months, so there's still hope.

02:00:57.000 We just need the manpower.

02:00:58.000 I have patience in Trump.

02:01:00.000 Did I read that one already?

02:01:01.000 I didn't?

02:01:02.000 No. I must have read it to myself while we were talking.

02:01:04.000 Well, perhaps PhilDudeBro says, honest question, if China develops an AI, why can't we just hack it and plant a virus? 0.89

02:01:12.000 The AI would probably just eliminate it from its code.

02:01:16.000 Yeah. Just clean itself.

02:01:19.000 I mean, also, there's no guarantee that we have access to whatever system it's on, right?

02:01:24.000 Like, so...

02:01:27.000 China has the Great Firewall.

02:01:28.000 Now, I'm not sure that we don't have access to China's internet, but China does have its own internet that is actually isolated from the rest of the world, if I understand correctly, where there are only certain ways in.

02:01:40.000 I think that's more for their domestic consumption.

02:01:43.000 I think you can hack that externally.

02:01:45.000 Oh, we can?

02:01:45.000 Okay. The Great Firewall, or whatever they call it.

02:01:49.000 All right, one more.

02:01:50.000 We got David Ochoa.

02:01:52.000 How do you imagine we'll handle designer babies from the wealthy?

02:01:55.000 Built to inherit abilities to super athletes or business leaders.

02:01:58.000 It's going to happen and it's going to be a function of the market because parents are going to go in and the doctor is going to say, we noticed that in your genetics you have cancer in the family.

02:02:13.000 We can do this light tweak in utero that will eliminate that genetic anomaly and your child will not have cancer.

02:02:23.000 And that's where it starts.

02:02:24.000 Then they're going to start getting to eye color.

02:02:27.000 They're going to start getting to height.

02:02:28.000 They're going to say that we couldn't help but notice that you guys have a genetic predisposition towards insert disorder.

02:02:36.000 We're going to eliminate that.

02:02:38.000 While we're at it, we can also increase general muscle mass.

02:02:43.000 And the immune system, we can boost.

02:02:46.000 And the parents are going to be like, okay, you do that over a couple generations.

02:02:49.000 And they're going to say, okay, would you like your baby to be six foot tall?

02:02:54.000 What height would you...

02:02:55.000 Standard package?

02:02:56.000 Six foot tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin? 0.93

02:02:59.000 They're going to be genetically engineering people, man.

02:03:02.000 China's already doing it. 0.69

02:03:04.000 Anyway, smash the like button, share the show with everyone.

02:04:12.000 Sorry, Rumble.com slash TimCastIRL.

02:04:15.000 I was about to say TimCast.com.

02:04:16.000 We haven't done that in a long time.

02:04:17.000 Rumble.com slash TimCastIRL in about 30 seconds.

02:04:20.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:04:20.000 We'll see you there.

02:04:59.000 see you there.

02:05:38.000 there.

02:05:50.000 Let's roll! 0.96

02:05:52.000 So, when they roll out...

02:05:55.000 Okay, here's what's going to happen.

02:05:56.000 Artificial general intelligence is going to rapidly...

02:05:59.000 It's going to brute force the human mind. 0.88

02:06:02.000 This will develop Neuralink at an exponential pace to where...

02:06:06.000 Here's how I imagine it's going to work.

02:06:08.000 I'm probably wrong, but this is just what I imagine.

02:06:12.000 Right now, they've been working for decades on computer brain interface.

02:06:16.000 Elon Musk's Neuralink has had tremendous breakthroughs, but it's still only read.

02:06:21.000 It's a device that can scan things in your brain and translate it into data out to a computer.

02:06:26.000 Being able to send stuff back into your brain, we haven't done.

02:06:30.000 But what they've been able to do with read is incredible.

02:06:33.000 They had people watch videos while wearing a computer brain interface and then decode what they were seeing.

02:06:43.000 So when they looked at a picture of a person, The image that came out of the computer brain interface showed like a silhouette figure.

02:06:50.000 Yeah, it looks like a Monet.

02:06:51.000 Yeah. But it's still clearly a person.

02:06:54.000 This means the computer brain, the CBI, was able to effectively see your thoughts.

02:07:01.000 What you were seeing visually by mapping your visual coordinates is crazy.

02:07:06.000 It'll take 20, 30 years to actually get to read right, right?

02:07:10.000 However, with artificial general intelligence, they're going to say, Here's all the information we have on brains.

02:07:17.000 Here's all the information we have on blood.

02:07:19.000 All the information we have on computer implants.

02:07:22.000 Make me a read-write modem for the brain.

02:07:26.000 And it will go done in like three seconds.

02:07:29.000 They will then take that, manufacture it.

02:07:32.000 How it will work is they will attach it to someone's head.

02:07:36.000 And then it effectively has to format.

02:07:41.000 Because every brain is different.

02:07:44.000 Similarly structured but different.

02:07:46.000 The computer is going to have to navigate the structures of your mind to be able to write to it.

02:07:51.000 To know where things go.

02:07:53.000 So you'll plug in.

02:07:54.000 The computer will then effectively brute force every part of your brain.

02:07:58.000 And then figure out how to write to it.

02:08:00.000 When that happens, it's going to be like Black Mirror.

02:08:02.000 When the people put the chips on the side of their head and then zonk out.

02:08:05.000 And then they feel like they're physically in a different world.

02:08:09.000 When that happens... 0.99

02:08:12.000 I'm going to go ahead and say every single motherfucking liberal gets one. 0.98

02:08:15.000 Like it's Nintendo and it's Christmas morning and you're opening up a Nintendo. 0.98

02:08:20.000 I'm curious, what do you guys think?

02:08:21.000 Sounds like you want one.

02:08:23.000 I will not be getting one.

02:08:24.000 Why? Yeah, you will.

02:08:26.000 I don't want to do it.

02:08:28.000 Yeah, in two seconds you would.

02:08:29.000 In two seconds you would.

02:08:30.000 I'm not paraplegic.

02:08:33.000 But it's like...

02:08:34.000 It's going to happen though.

02:08:37.000 People will do it.

02:08:38.000 It will be commercially available and everybody will have it.

02:08:40.000 But there's no dependency on not having it.

02:08:43.000 What may actually happen...

02:08:44.000 They're going to make life impossible for people who don't get it.

02:08:48.000 And you're correct.

02:08:49.000 You get it in two seconds.

02:08:50.000 You're probably right, yeah.

02:08:51.000 Not two seconds, but maybe two months.

02:08:53.000 Now I'm the one with really good points.

02:08:57.000 I will concede you that much.

02:08:59.000 The venom dripping out.

02:09:00.000 You are correct.

02:09:01.000 When they do roll this out, it's not going to be that we all want to buy it.

02:09:06.000 It's that we're going to have a sponsor, and they're going to hit the show, and they're going to say, we really want to sponsor the show.

02:09:12.000 Can you Neuralink with us at 7 p.m.?

02:09:14.000 And I'll say, I don't have one.

02:09:15.000 And they'll go, well, then who's going to, what?

02:09:19.000 They're going to be like, we'd love to get in touch.

02:09:21.000 They're going to reach out to our agent, our sales rep, and they're going to say, we want to speak with him about sponsoring the show.

02:09:26.000 Can you give us his Neuralink number?

02:09:28.000 And they're going to, he doesn't have one.

02:09:29.000 And they're going to go, well, how do we talk to him?

02:09:31.000 Like, you've got to meet him in person.

02:09:32.000 And I go, we're not flying out to West Virginia.

02:09:36.000 Everybody has one.

02:09:37.000 You are right.

02:09:38.000 That's what's going to happen.
