On today's show, we discuss the latest news involving a New Mexico judge and his relationship with a terrorist. Also, Bill Maher is losing his mind over a Bill Maher op-ed that likens Donald Trump to Hitler, and the Canadian election results are in!
00:02:18.000The 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.
00:02:48.000And, well, the question then becomes, why are Democrats so hell-bent on defending cartel members, narco gangs, and illegal immigrants in general?
00:02:57.000And 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.
00:03:08.000And 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.
00:03:14.000That murder politicians who defy their interests.
00:04:29.000And a lot of people are bummed on that.
00:04:31.000But this is something we call the wisdom of the crowds.
00:04:34.000That is, when enough people come together...
00:04:37.000And then make a prediction, you actually see a tendency towards it being correct.
00:04:41.000Not always, but maybe it could be 60%, 70%.
00:04:43.000In this instance, Kalshi's been pretty spot on in these prediction markets.
00:04:48.000You 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.
00:04:56.000So if someone's got an inside baseball in this, they're going to be betting on it, trying to win money.
00:06:04.000Oh, so former Trump and Ben Carson advisor got caught up in that entire crazy Russia hoax that, you know, we're still dealing with as a country and the world today.
00:06:15.000I have a show out on YouTube now, Global View.
00:06:18.000I 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.
00:08:13.000If 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.
00:08:24.000I think in some instances they may be in on the take.
00:08:27.000I don't think like Senator Van Hollen is getting paid off or whatever.
00:08:30.000But I think at the granular level, the reason why we're seeing a New Mexico judge who they reported is a Democratic judge.
00:08:38.000He's being detained and his wife being arrested.
00:08:41.000And they're harboring this guy in their home.
00:08:44.000I 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.
00:08:53.000These are, MS-13 comes into this country, they have kids, those kids grow up, and they're friends and family members with other people.
00:09:03.000These older people may then, through either a path of citizenship or otherwise, get positions of power in local government.
00:09:10.000And when we're dealing with a 20 or 30 year problem, I don't think anyone should be surprised to find that there are...
00:09:18.000TDA, MS-13, and other narco gang-affiliated individuals working in the judiciary or in police.
00:09:39.000I don't have a sense whether they're in on the take, but it does make sense that...
00:09:44.000People in gangs would do what they can to make contacts with people in the judiciary, people in law enforcement.
00:09:52.000I 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.
00:10:06.000I'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?
00:10:21.000The judge's daughter, who allowed him to hold and sometimes shoot various firearms, the agency said, which I would guess...
00:11:21.000So if they were engaging in criminal activity as accomplices to the gang member, They would be just arrested by their local police.
00:11:30.000If she was picked up by ICE, it would lead you to believe that there is something to do with immigration.
00:11:38.000It's being reported that this is a tenant of theirs.
00:11:41.000And 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.
00:11:55.000They 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.
00:12:16.000The parents knew that he was allegedly?
00:12:19.000No. 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.
00:12:30.000It 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.
00:12:40.000They met Ortega Lopez when his wife hired him to do housework, according to a criminal complaint.
00:12:45.000According to court documents obtained by KTSM, the Supreme Court and Third Judicial District Court received his resignation letter March 31st.
00:13:01.000I 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...
00:15:45.000And then when they had children, those kids were presented with a proposition to strip public funds from illegal immigrants.
00:15:52.000They wouldn't be able to receive public benefits.
00:15:55.000This was the last time, I forget what year it was, but this was the last time that California voted Republican.
00:15:59.000Because all of these children of illegal immigrants said, okay, then we vote Democrat because we want public funding for illegal immigrants.
00:16:06.000And then California's been blue ever since.
00:16:08.000It's kind of the same thing with the Dreamers, too.
00:16:09.000I 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.
00:17:19.000And I just don't understand why it needs to get to that point where someone is committing monstrous crimes.
00:17:26.000Other 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?
00:17:40.000I feel like our expectations are being set so low for what they're capable of doing.
00:17:45.000And we were promised and we mandated mass deportations.
00:17:51.000Not deportations of just gang criminals.
00:17:54.000Well, 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.
00:18:03.000There's these commercials with Kristi Noem where she's like, leave now or else.
00:18:08.000And, you know, the real thing is they say is you can leave now and then reapply to come back legally, and you can.
00:18:15.000But if you get caught here, then you're banned for life.
00:18:42.000To 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.
00:18:52.000You should retire now before we come after you.
00:18:57.000It'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.
00:19:20.000I 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.
00:19:30.000I think that's kind of what that was about.
00:19:44.000Well, 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.
00:19:53.000Indeed. Even though they're all criminals, but the violent criminals.
00:19:56.000And they also did say, and are saying today, self-deportation will be the most effective means of removal.
00:21:47.000But the Democrats are perfectly comfortable conflating those two things so that way the American public is confused.
00:21:53.000Technically correct, but that's under Biden when he changed the rules.
00:21:57.000The actual rules, if you go to the immigration website, and as they've always been, is if you enter the country illegally...
00:22:03.000Outside of a port of entry, then you are subject to expedited removal.
00:22:08.000What Joe Biden changed was he said, no, no, not if they say asylum.
00:22:11.000They 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.
00:22:20.000And 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.
00:22:28.000Then as soon as you left, they'd throw it in the garbage and say, never come back.
00:22:31.000So they were creating de facto permanent residence for these people.
00:22:50.000Trump says, can't have a trial for all migrants he wants to deport.
00:22:54.000Such a thing is not possible to do, he posted on social media.
00:22:58.000They 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.
00:23:06.000You know, they don't actually get that.
00:23:29.000In some cases, a non-citizen is subject to expedited removal without being able to attend a hearing in immigration court.
00:23:35.000Expedited 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.
00:25:17.000And the goal is to deceive the American people, which is not something new.
00:25:21.000It'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...
00:25:36.000The very fine people hoax, the Maryland man, whatever it is.
00:25:43.000There's been multiple attempts by the Democrats to totally deceive the American people.
00:25:54.000It has worked well, yeah, because most people aren't very politically engaged.
00:25:59.000But if you're even marginally politically engaged, I think that...
00:26:04.000Unless 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...
00:26:17.000They see that the Democrats are full of crap.
00:26:21.000Very teeny tiny fraction of the population actually looks past.
00:26:25.000It is a teeny tiny fraction of the population of people that actually are into politics.
00:26:29.000People just believe whatever is most emotionally resonant to them.
00:26:34.000But 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.
00:26:47.000I know they're given court dates for asylum claims, but how about no?
00:31:22.000Goodbye. Because that means it's a one-way valve, and they're not going to stop coming in.
00:31:26.000And I think people have misunderstood that.
00:31:29.000Terrorist 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.
00:31:42.000Yeah, and I think it's important to stress this.
00:31:44.000Trump is not arbitrarily declaring these narco gangs and prison gangs terrorists for no reason.
00:31:51.000He's not calling them terrorists just so he can try and deport them.
00:31:54.000These organizations, these gangs, are known for killing politicians.
00:31:58.000The definition of terrorist is when you use violence for political ends.
00:32:01.000When you get these Mexican mayors and governors, and people are two Muslim cartels, yo, read up on what MS-13 does down there.
00:32:08.000If 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.
00:32:15.000So if these people want to operate here, and they want to act in these ways, then they're terrorists.
00:32:53.000I 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
00:33:08.000and 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...
00:33:23.000We have a tweet from Kenico the Great who is confused and says, hold on a minute.
00:33:28.000Kilmer 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.
00:33:44.000Therefore, the respondent's application for withholding under the act is granted.
00:33:49.000Anybody knows what's wrong with that quote, with that paragraph, with that sentence?
00:34:01.000And I'm pausing not for dramatic suspense, but to point out that this document has been public since the Kilmar Abrego-Garcia story started.
00:34:41.000I 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.
00:34:57.000My 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.
00:35:08.000Now people are starting to realize, hey, wait a minute.
00:35:12.000The 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.
00:35:18.000He could have been deported back there in the first place.
00:35:20.000Now, 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.
00:36:29.000I'm talking to you conservatives and the right.
00:36:33.000I made the mistake, it's my fault I apologize for this, in assuming that...
00:36:37.000The conversations around this understood that Guatemala was the threat.
00:36:41.000I can't remember who the guest was, but they mentioned it was a rival gang that was threatening him.
00:36:47.000That's why they couldn't go back to El Salvador.
00:36:49.000The 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.
00:37:01.000However... Nayib Bukele has cleaned up El Salvador.
00:37:04.000It is now safe, and the threat of those gangs is minimal because they don't want to go there.
00:37:23.000Okay, 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.
00:38:12.000Like, 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.
00:38:32.000So 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.
00:38:46.000We need to send all of these people home.
00:38:48.000We 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.
00:39:01.000Was mandatory E-Verify even mentioned in the 2024 Trump campaign?
00:40:10.000So my question for you guys is, are you okay with the mass collection of biometrics?
00:40:15.000No? No, I mean, that just feels like it has ulterior motives, or maybe they'll discover ulterior motives on the line.
00:40:22.000So 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.
00:40:31.000These are basically, it's data they can use in mass surveillance, and they already do.
00:40:45.000I don't really have a problem with that.
00:40:47.000Like, 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.
00:40:53.000I don't think that it should be done at the airport every time you get on an airplane.
00:41:18.000So I don't know that there is the ability now to monitor...
00:41:25.000Through 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?
00:42:24.000I can articulate, you know, my thoughts on real ID and mass surveillance and biometrics.
00:42:28.000But 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?
00:42:38.000Do you think the government will do something to you by being able to know who you are?
00:42:44.000Well, it kind of just sounds like the retort of...
00:42:46.000Like, if you have nothing to hide, you don't need to worry about these encroachments on your freedom, you know?
00:43:20.000Absolutely. We know that, what was that experiment they did in San Fran where they sprayed the whole city with bacteria?
00:43:26.000So 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.
00:43:40.000The best argument I've ever heard against mass surveillance is that marijuana has become legal.
00:43:45.000Right? Are you a fan of marijuana being legal, Mary?
00:44:16.000The camera we put in all of your homes has proven you've broken the law.
00:44:19.000What 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.
00:44:32.000So there's a lot of things that—marijuana is probably an extreme example because a lot of people want it to be illegal.
00:44:37.000Like, if we had mass surveillance, women would still be wearing, you know, fully flocked outfits with 17 layers.
00:44:44.000Because the moment a woman dressed down and tried going outside, the camera catches you, and then the cops come and find you.
00:44:48.000So think about mass surveillance in, like, Iran.
00:44:51.000If 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.
00:44:57.000So typically, mass surveillance is because you need flexibility.
00:45:00.000There are some things that people will do that is against the law, but they tolerate.
00:45:04.000And then with that tolerance, our society can adapt and change.
00:45:16.000If we have mass surveillance and biometrics, we can get rid of all the illegal immigrants.
00:45:20.000But 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.
00:45:26.000You're going to go to a grocery store.
00:45:27.000It's going to scan your eye and then say you're banned, whereas you could just pay cash and buy whatever you want.
00:46:18.000The 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.
00:46:29.000However, I don't have a big problem with people I know and trust wielding power.
00:46:36.000If 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.
00:46:44.000The concern is when corrupt people come into office.
00:46:47.000And 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.
00:47:09.000And this is the opportunity for the government to expand because...
00:47:13.000You know, people in our position are going to say, I want the DHS to go after these illegal immigrants, so you know what?
00:47:18.000If it gets rid of 20 million illegal immigrants, I'm okay with the biometrics and all this stuff.
00:47:22.000The 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.
00:47:58.000Just 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,
00:48:16.000No, I just, the reason I ask is I'm wondering if you guys have really thought about it.
00:48:21.000I'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.
00:48:25.000And it's a good thing because we want the popular viewpoint to be like we shouldn't tolerate these things.
00:48:30.000I can think of a bunch of really bad things.
00:48:32.000Namely, 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.
00:49:10.000And now we can excise you from society.
00:49:13.000That's one of the most common arguments against a central bank digital currency is they can literally just turn your money off.
00:49:22.000That'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.
00:49:37.000But you can still survive if you have cash.
00:49:41.000It's not common, but it's common enough where most businesses still have a cash register that has money for change in it.
00:49:48.000But 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.
00:50:01.000I don't think there's anything stopping it.
00:50:09.000I 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.
00:50:23.000The 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.
00:50:37.000And we become ants to it, single-celled organisms relative to it.
00:50:42.000It's going to be able to predict the future, map the past perfectly.
00:50:51.000That museum was a rock store, but they had fossils and stuff.
00:50:54.000And there was a rock, a cube, that was cut specifically showing the layers of sediment.
00:51:00.000A sufficient AI will be able to tell you exactly where that rock was cut from, where it came from.
00:51:06.000And 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.
00:51:15.000The 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.
00:52:33.000A 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.
00:53:51.000Human 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.
00:55:38.000From 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.
00:56:03.000First of all, there's going to be – there's already individuals that are making AI content that people don't know is AI content.
00:56:10.000It'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.
00:57:53.000This studio, which this place costs millions of dollars to operate with all the staff and the electricity, the contractors, the camera equipment, the internet.
00:58:00.000The internet's super expensive, like uploading to millions of people.
00:58:04.000When 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?
00:58:17.000Impossible. Well, at the very least, that means they would still be a premium on live flesh and blood entertainment.
00:58:35.000But 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.
00:59:07.000And 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.
00:59:34.000So 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.
01:00:29.000A year from now, short videos will be indistinguishable.
01:00:33.000And a year from then, long form videos will be indistinguishable.
01:00:36.000And then a year probably from then, full movies, even AI rendering video games themselves.
01:00:43.000We'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.
01:00:50.000And it wrote the code out for Snake and then someone was like, here's the code and they executed and they played Snake.
01:00:56.000That'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.
01:01:04.000And it will just, it'll make the game for you.
01:01:07.000It's easy to say, no, people want that live performance.
01:01:11.000And that's exactly what Homeboy said in the 90s.
01:01:19.000Well, 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.
01:02:19.000Yep. 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?
01:02:32.000So the idea was, people were saying, why make a phone like this?
01:02:37.000He says, if I make it, they'll buy it.
01:02:39.000How can they know that they want it if they can't even see it?
01:02:41.000And then they made the iPhone, and the rest is history.
01:02:45.000Ford 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.
01:03:02.000It's already largely algorithmically driven, and people just don't seem to realize this, that when you go to like a pop producer...
01:03:09.000They're not sitting there and just thinking like, I got an idea for a melody.
01:03:12.000They're going like, what's the tried and true interval and method like Phil was describing with the four chords song?
01:03:17.000All these songs use similar time signatures, stamps, and chord progressions with various vocal melodies.
01:03:23.000And there was a really great video that talked about the Oh Wee Oh.
01:03:27.000I don't know if you saw this one, Phil.
01:03:29.000And 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.
01:07:23.000I mean, like, Falling in Reverse, Sleep Token.
01:07:28.000I can't think of any other bands off the top of my head that are playing...
01:07:31.000Even Taylor Swift struggles to reach the level of Metallica.
01:07:35.000Like, Taylor Swift's biggest shows were Metallica's average shows.
01:07:39.000And then Metallica had several shows with hundreds of thousands to a million people, whatever, that famous, what was it, in Germany or whatever?
01:07:46.000Metallica's million, that was in Russia.
01:07:48.000That stuff just doesn't happen anymore.
01:07:50.000So, 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.
01:09:00.000Politico wrote, So what do you think happens if you're Zelensky?
01:09:26.000And 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.
01:09:56.000The 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.
01:10:07.000It 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.
01:10:45.000Well, 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.
01:10:53.000And this has been an intractable war now going on three years.
01:10:57.000I think President Trump is looking at like a different perspective of how to end this thing.
01:11:01.000And Zelensky wants to not come to the peace.
01:11:04.000Yeah, Zelensky keeps talking about things like taking back Crimea, which is not even on the table.
01:11:10.000It's a ridiculous idea to think that that's going to happen.
01:11:15.000Russia's totally entrenched in Crimea.
01:11:19.000Basically, they've got all Russian-speaking people in that area now.
01:11:24.000So 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.
01:11:34.000But unless they all actually get to the table, what are you going to do?
01:11:39.000So what do you think, considering the instability and turmoil in the United States politically?
01:11:44.000Russia's got no incentive to negotiate because the deep state will block Trump?
01:11:47.000I 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.
01:11:54.000There's the argument that Ukraine is holding their own.
01:13:45.000They have massive economic agreements with them, military agreements.
01:13:48.000So 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.
01:14:01.000As much as people will talk about Ukraine as being some kind of vital country for the U.S., and if we don't stop...
01:14:17.000I think that, you know, Russia and Ukraine have a long history.
01:14:21.000It'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...
01:14:38.000The signaling from the Obama administration that they would allow it.
01:14:41.000There 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.
01:14:51.000And 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.
01:15:32.000Any 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...
01:15:46.000At one point it was science fiction, but nowadays it's not science fiction anymore?
01:16:10.000It 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.
01:16:23.000It's like Universal Soldier with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
01:16:45.000But regular airborne, they jump out and they're static lines.
01:16:48.000So they jump out and it automatically opens.
01:16:50.000They don't have a whole lot of control over it and they can't slow down when they land.
01:16:54.000So after five years or ten years, everybody that's airborne that jumps a lot has bad knees.
01:17:01.000Well, 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.
01:18:34.000There's a lot of Chinese, and a lot of them are brilliant.
01:18:38.000And they have no problem with sending students over to steal intellectual property.
01:18:44.000You'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.
01:19:52.000And 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.
01:20:00.000I want to jump to this story following the Russia stuff.
01:20:04.000It looks like, I don't know, people are saying World War III again.
01:20:06.000I mean, I've heard the phrase World War III probably enough at this point, but India and Pakistan are fighting now.
01:20:12.000India says they'll pursue the Kashmir attackers to the ends of the earth.
01:20:16.000And a bunch of measures have just been enacted.
01:20:19.000They say police in the Indian-administered Kashmir claim to have identified three suspects, two of whom are Pakistani, in the Pahlgram attack.
01:20:31.000India's PM Modi vowed to hunt the Pahlgram gunmen to the ends of the earth.
01:20:36.000They'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.
01:20:47.000And it is being suggested that war may break out at any moment between India and Pakistan, which is already bad.
01:20:53.000But then you add all of the other war fronts, and sooner or later, China's going to say, break the dam and take Taiwan.
01:21:02.000Just 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.
01:21:15.000There's religious disputes there, and they're essentially the same, you know, they come from the same background except for the religion.
01:21:23.000But yeah, they've both got nuclear weapons.
01:22:17.000It's definitely a tinderbox that could leak over.
01:22:21.000I 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.
01:22:33.000I 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.
01:22:50.000So 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
01:23:20.000Pakistan are supported by countries like China.
01:23:24.000Turkey, which has a lot to lose by this alternative corridor, are supporting this kind of stuff.
01:23:28.000So 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.
01:23:37.000There's nothing ever random at this level.
01:23:39.000Wouldn't you say that that kind of incentivizes China to help Pakistan further, or that's more incentive for China to help Pakistan?
01:23:46.000Yeah, so what's going on is China has this thing called the One Belt, One Road.
01:23:49.000And Turkey is supposed to be the transit route into Europe from the goods going from China.
01:23:56.000So 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.
01:24:12.000Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's a whole lot of bad news.
01:24:17.000But do you think it's going to, like, Do you think we're at risk of all these different regions destabilizing?
01:24:22.000Yeah, look, I think the world is being split off in the spheres of influence right now, and I think President Trump understands it.
01:24:28.000I think Vladimir Putin understands it.
01:24:29.000I think the president of China understands it, too.
01:24:31.000That's what I think that mineral deal with Ukraine was all about.
01:24:34.000It was about basically de facto dividing east-west Ukraine.
01:24:38.000The United States and Europe take over the west.
01:24:41.000Russia has some sort of influence in the east.
01:24:44.000Then you have this issue going on now that I just explained with Pakistan and India.
01:25:55.000But 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.
01:26:05.000And I asked him about letters of market reprisal, and it's...
01:26:09.000This is the modern version that you get, I suppose.
01:26:11.000I 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?
01:26:25.000Do 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?
01:26:33.000Yeah, I think these surgical strikes are like...
01:26:37.000They'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.
01:26:46.000If these people, the hoodies, keep shooting down or attacking vessels, global commerce is going to stop.
01:26:52.000Most of trade is done via sea, not by rail.
01:26:55.000So it's very important to prevent that from happening.
01:26:58.000But also, alternatively, we can't conduct regime change operations anymore.
01:27:01.000We 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.
01:27:13.000And that creates a boomerang that we feel to this day.
01:27:16.000So I think, you know, President Trump's absolutely right on this.
01:27:18.000And that's probably why Hegseth, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, is facing some pressure
01:27:30.000Yes. 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.
01:27:40.000Then eight years later, I'm sorry, that was international.
01:27:44.000That was, you know, foreign powers like France getting involved in the British War.
01:27:49.000Then you have World War I and II, which is external.
01:27:52.000And now there's a question of whether or not the fourth turning for us will be internal or external.
01:27:56.000But I got to be honest, it kind of sounds like it's going to be both.
01:27:59.000With 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?
01:28:15.000I 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,
01:28:31.000the war against the police, defunding the police movement.
01:28:34.000All of these bizarre agendas that were propagated and pushed down the American people's throats, I think, created that division.
01:28:40.000And then you have that in tandem with the open border.
01:28:43.000And this ticking time bomb with millions of potential liabilities that are now in the country legally, that's a recipe for disaster.
01:28:50.000But I fear that the corruption may be too entrenched in the United States.
01:28:53.000You know, we started off the show talking about this judge.
01:29:50.000To 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.
01:29:57.000So when I look at what's going on with immigration, we've got to such a degree of the children of recent immigrants.
01:30:06.000I got no problem with immigration over a long period of time.
01:30:08.000The 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.
01:30:19.000And I feel like that's where we're heading.
01:30:23.000I mean, I can be white-billed and say that young men are more conservative and more likely to be Christian.
01:30:31.000Maybe 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.
01:30:41.000Is 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?
01:30:53.000Do you think that it would drive people apart?
01:31:23.000Okay. That's a weird thing to be in favor of.
01:31:25.000I think that's what you were saying, though, about American identity vis-a-vis new immigrants and people holding on to the old country.
01:31:32.000And 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.
01:31:45.000And that's why so many of the Democrats are so invested in all these conflicts and they're always on the wrong side.
01:31:49.000They're always supporting Hamas, for example.
01:31:52.000They're always supporting anti-American policies, anti-Native American policies.
01:31:58.000I think that's something that Trump is completely against.
01:32:06.000Well, I think AI is going to wipe out the planet, and I think China is going to win.
01:32:17.000Okay, 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.
01:32:25.000If 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,
01:32:45.000know, high-tech advanced chips here, we're going to lose.
01:32:52.000when 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.
01:33:05.000In the West, we're constrained by IP law, and IP law is a good thing.
01:33:10.000But China is, the Chinese Communist Party is evil, and they're not constrained by any of this.
01:33:15.000If 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.
01:33:30.000If you're not cheating, you're not serious about winning.
01:33:33.000And China is very serious about winning.
01:33:35.000And they will steal as much as they can.
01:33:38.000They have every intention of beating the United States.
01:33:41.000And as long as the United States has the policies and the posture towards China that we do, they're going to win.
01:33:50.000Because the U.S. is playing by the rules and China's breaking them.
01:33:52.000Absolutely. 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.
01:34:02.000Absolutely. So that's something that I think we need to rewrite.
01:34:05.000And also, to your point, the United States has been...
01:34:12.000The 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.
01:34:29.000All right, everybody, we're going to go to your chats and hear what you guys have to say.
01:34:33.000But before we do, we've got a great sponsor.

01:36:29.000So again, leertim.com or call 1-800-489-6450.
01:39:47.000He arbitrarily brought up that Christians are dumb for believing the Bible, basically.
01:39:52.000I'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.
01:40:00.000A 2,000-year-old book that they're claiming without evidence.
01:40:03.000And 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.
01:40:12.000We are choosing what to believe based on our perceptions and what we believe is likely correct.
01:40:17.000So, you know, I asked Ian, how do you know that graphene is real?
01:40:39.000Like, if I were to take this mallet and whip it as hard as I could at the window, the window would break.
01:40:43.000To be fair, I don't know if it's rubber, but I assume it would break.
01:40:46.000There's things we know that are simple.
01:40:47.000But for the most part, when someone tells me, like, you know, electrons are real, I just believe you, I guess.
01:40:54.000Yeah. Most people just don't know how much they operate on faith on a day-to-day basis.
01:41:00.000And then use that as a way to intellectually grandstand over people who have faith.
01:41:06.000And to be sure, like, there is a component of the leap of faith in religion.
01:41:11.000But that's not to say there's no evidence.
01:41:14.000There's plenty of evidence and he has not read it.
01:41:17.000And I don't know if he's even willing to.
01:41:18.000It's really about, like, do you have the willingness to engage with that material?
01:41:23.000Like, do you have the willingness to read Aquinas' five proofs?
01:41:27.000Do you have the willingness to read about historical evidence for the resurrection?
01:41:32.000Well, I would just say this for, you know, and Ian will have his chance, so I do feel it's unfair.
01:41:40.000He's not here to defend himself, but...
01:41:41.000For 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.
01:41:50.000Like, 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.
01:42:05.000Does he deify graphene in his worldview?
01:42:12.000It'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.
01:42:19.000Not saying that that is Ian, but that is the case for a lot of people.
01:42:24.000They 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.
01:42:31.000I'm going to say this to Ian as a challenge.
01:42:35.000People 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.
01:42:45.000He's done a lot of research into graphene.
01:42:48.000He's never actually gone to a lab and spoken with the experts and tested it.
01:42:56.000He said he's never even looked through an electron microscope.
01:42:59.000So when you have people who have traveled the world and met with...
01:43:03.000Great religious thinkers and preachers.
01:43:17.000Most people that say that they, like, say they've read something or they've studied it, most people haven't actually done a lot.
01:43:27.000Or in-depth, especially nowadays, I do wonder exactly how much he's actually read about, like, graphene.
01:43:35.000Because 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.
01:45:01.000After 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.
01:45:09.000Then we're going to have like a year break, then World War IV.
01:45:12.000Then once most of the world is destroyed, seven foot tall, 300 pounds of pure muscle barren.
01:45:18.000Grizzled and scarred with a beard is going to run for president of the unified territories of what was once called America.
01:45:27.000Kind of like a John Connor kind of situation.
01:46:52.000Yeah. Daniel Schultz says, listening to David Hogg speak is like drinking a tumbler of hot garbage water while trying to gargle broken glass.
01:47:06.000You know, the Democrats' strongest man is David Hogg.
01:47:11.000Or the strongest man the Democrats have is David Hogg.
01:47:14.000Is that an insult to David Hogg or am I, I'm sorry, an insult to the Democrats or praise for David Hogg?
01:48:31.000I'm just more interested in the question of how we ought to live if that is inevitably the future.
01:48:40.000Not whether it will happen or what's going to look like.
01:48:43.000I'm just more interested in what we ought to do as a response.
01:48:45.000So 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.
01:51:53.000So, 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.
01:52:17.000Neuralink is connecting the nerves and reading and writing to the body or to a computer.
01:52:21.000So, 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.
01:52:40.000Okay, I'm talking about an either-or situation.
01:52:45.000That the implication is this will not be a technology primarily used for addressing physical medical impairments.
01:52:55.000It will be used to enhance the so-called enhance the human body.
01:53:01.000If it's an either-or choice, if I press a button where we have a world where we can't...
01:53:11.000Fix these medical impairments, but also we're not going to have bionic enhancements, or we're going to have both.
01:53:53.000It'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.
01:54:01.000They go online and argue with strangers and look at pictures of cats, and then do untoward things in their bathrooms.
01:54:28.000Not to mention, in terms of Neuralink and losing control of your legs, who would clean you and bathe you?
01:54:35.000It'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.
01:56:29.000There is no reality in which you could convince me you would not take the cure.
01:56:34.000Well, 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.
01:56:43.000If I'm just lying, like, okay, you can just believe that...
01:58:04.000I 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.
01:58:14.000And I think that human suffering can...
01:58:19.000Bring about other goods that aren't as obvious as being able-bodied.
01:58:24.000But my point is, someone else has to keep you alive.
02:00:02.000Let'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.
02:00:11.000And 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.
02:01:28.000Now, 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.
02:01:40.000I think that's more for their domestic consumption.
02:01:52.000How do you imagine we'll handle designer babies from the wealthy?
02:01:55.000Built to inherit abilities to super athletes or business leaders.
02:01:58.000It'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.
02:02:13.000We can do this light tweak in utero that will eliminate that genetic anomaly and your child will not have cancer.
02:03:27.000Yeah, if you want to check out my book, Deep State Target, how I got caught in the crosshairs of the plot to bring down President Trump, kind of understand what Trump was talking about, them spying on his campaign.
02:03:36.000It kind of covers all that, and it's just been a real pleasure.
