00:05:20.000I don't know if it was directed energy weapons that lit that fire in Maui, but there's a lot of blue roofs that were from the fire with an Oprah said the fire.
00:05:46.000The 44-year-old Canadian was on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list in connection with the indictments that allege he's responsible for tracking multi-ton quantities of cocaine from Colombia to Canada and connected with several murders for hire in Canada and Mexico.
00:06:01.000At my direction, Department of Justice agents and FBI have apprehended yet another member of the FBI's top 10 most wanted list, Ryan Wedding.
00:06:59.000But then as a justice maker, you can't just go off of emotions and appease people and give them the bloodthirst, you know.
00:07:06.000So then you end up looking like the bad guy and your mistakes get blown out of proportion and your successes go under the radar sometimes when you're doing the right thing.
00:07:14.000You know, it's a curse of being a good person in life a lot of times.
00:07:49.000They've been really good about being like robotic about stuff.
00:07:52.000What you're saying is they're not trying to appease their base by being emotional and just going after the people that those people want to arrest.
00:07:59.000Yeah, I mean, look, the people that the people, most of the people, not everybody, but most of the people that seem to be most wanted by the internet, it is really based off of emotion.
00:08:10.000They want to see their political enemies or people they deem as the bad guy.
00:08:15.000They want to see them wrapped up regardless of whether or not there's enough evidence.
00:08:19.000And look, if you're going to make the argument, well, they went after Donald Trump and there was little evidence or they created a situation where Donald Trump was guilty of things or they could say that Donald Trump was guilty of things.
00:08:33.000I totally think that most of the stuff that they went after Donald Trump, actually probably all of the stuff that they went after Donald Trump for was fabricated or somehow engineered to make it look like it was worse than it was.
00:08:46.000Like the 34 felonies, like all that stuff was BS.
00:08:49.000They changed the laws so that way Donald Trump could be indicted on the Gene Carroll stuff.
00:09:05.000I think that there's enough evidence of actual wrongdoing where they can legitimately say, look, the people that we're arresting, they're either guilty or we have enough evidence to believe they're guilty of crimes.
00:09:18.000There are enough legit criminals out there.
00:09:20.000We don't need to fabricate stuff right now.
00:09:22.000There's a lot of like illegal immigration and organizations, NGOs that are tied to those people that they can pull strings on and find out, well, who paid who, paid who, paid who.
00:09:31.000And they can go to the top of the top and then they can give it to the executive branch and be like, maybe they were Mexican cartels.
00:09:41.000Like, so there's a lot of people that want to see, you know, Antifa wrapped up.
00:09:45.000They want to see arrests of Antifa members and stuff.
00:09:49.000And because what I'm hearing is that they're looking at RICO cases, those kind of cases take a long time to tie together.
00:09:57.000You can't just say, oh, we think all these people are connected because they all wore black block, or they were in black block or all they wore black to a protest.
00:10:07.000You actually have substantial ties to make a RICO case stick.
00:10:11.000And the last thing the DOJ wants to do is arrest people and not have things stick because that's not going to make anybody happy either, right?
00:10:18.000Like if they were to go and arrest a bunch of people and say, well, you guys are all Antifa, right?
00:10:24.000The DOJ doesn't follow through or they're not able to put people in jail.
00:10:29.000The people that are up in arms right now, it'll only inflame those people.
00:10:33.000They're only going to say, well, we can't trust the government.
00:10:37.000So now you'll end up having people starting, even you'll have more people saying that we need to go to extreme measures and we need to take things into our own hands.
00:10:46.000And that's not something we want at all.
00:10:48.000Yeah, I find this interesting that this is like the real life Ozark.
00:10:53.000This is a regular looking dude who seemingly was, you know, I guess a celebrity within this space, and he is a drug lord.
00:11:02.000Now, what I also find interesting is that from the outside, looking at it, I would think that anyone who's an Olympian and crushing it is not going to need to move cocaine and drugs across state lines.
00:11:12.000And so I'm curious how much of this is, hey, you get all this celebrity notoriety clout and your lifestyle increases and now you got to maintain this status so then you get into shady stuff.
00:11:22.000Or if this dude was always into shady stuff and it just all amplified as he became more high-profile.
00:11:27.000I mean, I imagine the kind of person that would want to put the effort into becoming an Olympian level snowboarder, right?
00:11:36.000Like that guy's kind of got to be an adrenaline junkie.
00:11:39.000Is that tied to his being in the drug world, being trafficking drugs?
00:11:46.000Because if you, I mean, obviously, most of your drug lords or whatever, they're motivated by money.
00:11:55.000But this guy ostensibly had a lot of fame and money before that.
00:11:59.000Do you think he was really rich prior to this?
00:12:02.000I was going to say I'd fact check that because as an Olympian, I don't think they typically don't make a lot of money.
00:12:06.000No, but I mean, I imagine he had sponsorships, he had a lot of notoriety and stuff.
00:12:11.000So I'm just thinking that, like, again, this is just, you know, I'm just imagining this, but like he's after the adrenaline.
00:12:22.000And a lot of people that end up in, you know, doing any kind of criminal activity, a lot of times they're, they're after the high of getting away with it, you know, and the money is nice, obviously, if you're, you're moving that much cocaine, you know, you're making a boatload of money.
00:12:35.000But like, I'm wondering, is it, was the motivating factor of the money or was the motivating factor like, I'm beating the law, you know, they can't catch me.
00:12:43.000I think the adrenaline's part of it, but also, and you saw with the NBA story, it's the same thing.
00:12:47.000It's like these people have connections.
00:12:50.000You know, the higher you get, the more famous you become.
00:12:52.000You are connected to people with money and influence and stuff.
00:12:55.000And, you know, you start doing a little bit here and there.
00:12:58.000You have people, you know, the people that have the connections.
00:13:01.000And, you know, so to your point, Phil, I do think there's a little bit of the adrenaline, but also it's, he's in the right place at the right time and he knows the right.
00:13:08.000Do they drug test when he was in the Olympics and how long ago did he win this gold medal?
00:13:12.000Because I'm curious if he was using Coke before.
00:13:29.000CNN says the Attorney General Pam Bondi previously said weddings operation was responsible for more than one billion a year in illegal drug proceeds.
00:13:37.000Officials have believed wedding to be somewhere in Mexico under the protection of the Sinaloa cartel.
00:13:41.000Look, a billion dollars, that's a lot of money.
00:13:45.000That'll make people do a lot of crazy things.
00:14:43.000You can see the homeless population and you can see the absolute havoc that those drugs have wreaked on the homeless population.
00:14:53.000There's a lot of people that if they didn't have access to drugs, if they didn't have the ability to shoot up wherever they wanted, or not wherever they, well, basically wherever they want, on the street, if they didn't have the ability to do that, they would be more inclined to do the things necessary to have a house.
00:15:11.000If you can stay in Southern California, live on the streets where it's basically always nice, you don't have to worry about getting shelter from snowstorms.
00:15:21.000Yeah, you're not going to worry about it.
00:15:23.000Like if you're in San Diego, you get a nice jacket and even the chilly mornings, you're fine.
00:15:28.000And you can shoot up drugs without the police coming and telling you you got to move along, without having to worry about the government trying to enforce drug laws on you.
00:15:41.000There's a lot of people that are like, I will choose to do drugs.
00:15:44.000Whereas if you constantly are getting told, you got to go, you can't do that here.
00:15:47.000You get arrested and thrown in jail and you have to deal with all that stuff, that will make, that does, not just will, but that does make people decide that they don't want to live that lifestyle anymore.
00:16:13.000And one of the things that oceanography class talked about in the class was talking about because the climate is so neutral where we live, that there has been documentation.
00:16:19.000I don't know how much of this is prevalent now, but definitely in the 90s and early 2000s where other cities would ship us their homeless people.
00:16:54.000And like what I've kind of seen, like since weed is like one of them where it's been legalized, I've seen people who would normally seek it out are seeking it out less because they can kind of get it anytime.
00:17:08.000It's like when you tell people they can't have something, it gives it that oomph of like, oh, now I'm really going to go get it because you're telling me I can't have it.
00:17:15.000But when you tell them they can have it, it's like kind of like alcohol.
00:17:43.000But there aren't a lot of recreational heroin users, right?
00:17:46.000If you're taking fentanyl, it was a professor that tried, that did a whole experiment out in D.C. that tried to prove that you can use heroin.
00:18:03.000Yeah, I am going to show that addiction is more correlated to class and environment.
00:18:09.000And so I'm going to prove to you that because I have a stable life as a professor and I have a stable income, I'm going to be a functional heroin.
00:18:15.000I would love to follow up on this guy.
00:18:16.000I don't want to remember what happened.
00:18:18.000Dr. Michael, what was that guy's name?
00:18:34.000I think as a I used to hold more of a libertarian view on this.
00:18:37.000So I, so I, so I understand what you're saying.
00:18:39.000I think as I became a father, I'm a father of three now.
00:18:43.000I absolutely want more friction for vices and then less friction for vices.
00:18:49.000And I think that to me just makes more sense.
00:18:51.000No, I'm going to challenge you, Rusal.
00:18:53.000Like when you tell your kids they can't do something, what do they want to do?
00:18:57.000My kids love Jesus and are really good kids.
00:19:00.000So they usually listen to their father.
00:19:02.000I think if the kids trust the parents, because the parents create a really comfortable and warm and loving environment, they'll listen to them.
00:19:07.000Because I was told, don't smoke pot or drink alcohol.
00:19:13.000I knew it was poisonous and I thought it was problem is when you start to learn about what drug, like drug, it comes from the word meaning dried herb, basically.
00:19:20.000It's such a vague term for thousands and tens of thousands of chemicals.
00:19:24.000And it's the hyper addictive ones that you don't want to make legal because you just get a little taste and then it's like you're thinking about it and craving like that is crazy dangerous, especially for like people other than the Carl Hart, the doctor that you were talking about earlier, Carl Hart, who wants to be able to do that.
00:19:40.000No, I would say, like, alcohol is like one of those things, especially, you know, coming from the Midwest, alcohol is like a big thing out there.
00:19:45.000And we have a rule of law that says you can't drink it unless you're 21, right?
00:19:49.000And what happens to a lot of kids when they get into college?
00:19:52.000Oh, they end up drinking a ton because they, you know, their parents have told them they can't have it.
00:20:28.000Yeah, most of the most of the people that are that are using drugs that are living on the streets, like there's usually a correlation between drug use, mental illness, if you're living on the streets, right?
00:20:40.000The two things tend to be the Venn diagram is almost a circle.
00:20:45.000I assume there are people that can recreationally use just about any drug.
00:20:50.000I don't think that it's something that we want to say, oh, hey, it's actually okay to use heroin.
00:22:09.000But if there's no reason to stop, I'm like, well, if I can keep going and keep using this thing and keep succeeding, then I don't need to stop it.
00:22:16.000But if there's like shit hits the fan, pardon my, like immediately, all that stuff's out the window, folks.
00:22:57.000That's the biggest part because I have a coca leaf where they like in South America, they'll put a little tobacco in like a leaf and they'll stick it up in their lip and they'll just kind of suck on it and you get the buzz, but you also get the tobacco.
00:23:15.000Because they're adding like gasoline and all kinds of weird stuff to cocaine.
00:23:18.000I remember I went down this rabbit hole with cocaine specifically.
00:23:21.000I think the deeper issue is that there's a meaning crisis and a purpose crisis.
00:23:25.000So when people lack purpose and meaning, they resort to vices.
00:23:29.000And then, yes, it's probably a degree of genetics where you're more predisposed to being an addict.
00:23:33.000And so if you're already predisposed to be an addict, but you don't have anything to redirect that to something constructive, productive, music, art, building a business, then you can slide into seasons of addiction.
00:23:44.000See, I think that's probably the best argument for keeping it illegal.
00:23:49.000Because there's a lot of people, especially nowadays as we have this crisis of meaning, like people really, without, there's, you know, religion is on the rise here in the United States, but I don't think that there's ever been a time in human history where there have been more people that are agnostic or atheist.
00:24:07.000And without that kind of, without family, without the kind of things that religion offers, without the things the community offers, you end up with a lot of people that kind of don't have a lot of meaning.
00:24:18.000And I think that if you were to introduce, if you legalize drugs, specifically drugs that are very dangerous for you, I think you end up with more bad results than you do good.
00:24:30.000Nowadays, you see kids, a lot of young guys that are just kind of retreating from society.
00:24:34.000They're going into playing video games, smoking pot all the time, watching too much porn.
00:24:39.000And I think you'll only see those kind of behaviors compound if you were to have something like heroin being illegal.
00:24:45.000Well, I think in California, weed is basically legalized.
00:24:48.000And we've definitely seen spikes of petty crime, spikes of these sorts of things when you decriminalize something.
00:24:58.000At the same time, though, when you destigmatize something, then you're totally right.
00:25:02.000Then the young person who doesn't quite understand that success and starting a family and building a business and having a stable income and having a purpose takes decades and not weeks.
00:25:13.000They're going to wake up, smoke weed, play video games, hang out, and waste away their most crucial years of their life, which is 18 to 25.
00:25:22.000When you should be building the foundation, you're getting stoned and playing video games all day.
00:25:25.000I'm using very broad generality, but there is something to that.
00:25:29.000And so in California, the weed now, because of the dispensary, is more potent.
00:25:34.000And you start seeing the correlation between weed use with people who might have schizophrenia tendencies in their line.
00:25:41.000And I personally know multiple people that cannabis use triggered schizophrenia because they were predisposed to it genetically.
00:25:48.000Yeah, they started changing weed over the last couple of 20 years or something where it's like 29% THC and they strip all the CBD out of the leaf or whatever.
00:25:57.000And it's like, bro, the CBD, the cannabinol, is like the healing aspect of the plant.
00:26:03.000If you remove that and you just give them the hyperstimulant, the psychoactive stimulant, of course they're going to have like heart palpitations and psychotic breaks and shit.
00:26:40.000Well, what it did was it put weed and heroin and cocaine all together.
00:26:44.000So when you find out weed is like a kind of a gentle psychoactive plant, and then you're like, whoa, are they lying to me about all these other ones?
00:26:52.000But if you can educate people about marijuana, the plant, and it's a completely different thing than cocaine and heroin, like opium and all these crazy fentanyl, it's like, dude, this.
00:27:03.000Yeah, but the DARE project, I think, fundamentally failed because it was literally the nerdiest thing that kids saw.
00:27:34.000I mean, I can't speak for anyone else.
00:27:36.000I can't speak for, you know, what anyone else's life is like.
00:27:40.000But, you know, just because you're around it doesn't mean that you're going to do it.
00:27:44.000And again, I think particularly to your point, if you feel like you have a fulfilled life or you have a goal in your life, something that you're after, you're far less likely to do that kind of stuff.
00:28:05.000And I would also say that in my own life, I experienced SA as a kid, and that did a number on me in terms of pornography and all that sort of stuff.
00:28:15.000The way addiction, the most linear way to fight addiction is twofold.
00:28:19.000One, you remove it by creating friction, and two, you replace it with something better.
00:28:24.000And so I understand, I understand what you're saying.
00:28:26.000And I used to believe it, but I think when you remove as a society, we're embracing this thing and we're making it cool and we're making it more potent.
00:28:34.000The more friction you can create for general people, I actually think the better.
00:28:39.000But you have to give them something better.
00:28:40.000You have to give them something to replace that meaning, purpose, God, career, something to replace that.
00:28:48.000And so for me, if I'm looking at my own struggles and having experienced that, I have to have friction on my phone so I don't access stuff that I shouldn't be looking at.
00:28:59.000And I'm constantly trying to create friction for the bad things.
00:29:38.000We're going to jump to this story here from the post-millennial.
00:29:40.000Breaking anti-ICE agitators bring U-Haul van with shields and gear to Minneapolis federal building, attempt to impede feds, ICE ERO head.
00:29:50.000A top ICE official revealed in a Friday press conference that the agitators have descended upon Minneapolis Whipple Federal Building in an effort to impede immigration enforcement activities.
00:30:00.000Marcos Charles, the acting executive associate director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, has said, moments ago, a group of agitators, a U-Haul van filled with shields and gear decided to come over here to the Whipple building and block traffic.
00:30:14.000They are currently trying to impede us from getting out of the building and going to do our mission.
00:30:19.000Look, this is not new behavior from basically Antifa, right?
00:30:24.000Like we saw this during the George Floyd riots.
00:30:28.000You would see a whole U-Haul full of gear and stuff.
00:30:33.000This stuff is coming from somewhere, right?
00:30:35.000There is someone funding this kind of stuff.
00:30:37.000Now, whether it be activists or NGOs or what have you, I think this speaks to our conversation earlier about the federal government trying to build RICO cases.
00:30:48.000Whoever's supplying this stuff, that's who the federal government should be going after, as well as the people on the ground that are fighting with the feds.
00:30:56.000I think this is a really bad game of chicken.
00:30:59.000I think both sides in this, I would love to see some degree of de-escalation.
00:31:04.000I had Pastor Jack Hibbs on, who's friends with the Trump administration, and I asked him specifically about the ICE raids and riots.
00:31:11.000And I'm going to take a very nuanced position.
00:32:11.000And then you have, to your point, this weird Antifa, possibly George Soros, whoever's funding this sort of stuff, that's now making it more and more intense and impeding on these actual investigation where I'm seeing people pull up and they're saying, hey, we're here to take out this PDF file.
00:33:13.000Well, I think it's an interesting take, and I'm sure the chat's going nuts right now because I do think the sentiment against immigration has changed.
00:33:22.000You know, when you say, oh, we want to go after the criminals, obviously everyone agrees with that.
00:33:26.000But the whole get the Abuelas out, that actually is where a lot of people are right now because the Abuelas and the people that are here illegally are taking away opportunities from the younger generation.
00:33:59.000And, you know, so I was kind of talking to some of the local people about this and I was kind of surprised about it.
00:34:03.000But like, unfortunately, what, you know, them being in those positions, A, it's like there's a whole domino effect with like how the economy works and like how the people that employ illegals and low-labor immigrants can literally price out the competition.
00:34:18.000But even beyond that, the positions that they're in are they're they're taking those away from like the young kids, the 20-year-olds, the, you know, the 18-year-olds, the 20-year-olds, the people like these are the jobs where you cut your teeth, you meet the people, you get the networking, you learn the skills.
00:34:33.000Like everyone, when they're younger, they have to be in these shit jobs.
00:34:37.000And with the immigrants being in these jobs, those kids don't have that accessibility.
00:34:43.000So I think, you know, I could be wrong, but I think the position on immigration has changed because the younger generation is seeing that these people are taking away the opportunities from themselves.
00:34:53.000Yeah, I just don't know if I buy that the Abuelas and the folks that have been here for generations and generations are taking opportunities from young men.
00:35:03.000And furthermore, didn't Trump have to flip his policy on hospitality specifically in Florida because he started getting calls saying, hey, you can't just get all these people.
00:35:16.000To your point, Trump changing his stance on, say, migrant workers or what have you.
00:35:26.000That's not representative of the base.
00:35:28.000That's Trump playing to the people that are employing people.
00:35:51.000They are a growing minority and they're the ones that are going to be they're the ones that are going to be, you know, looking to be activists or involved in the the the administration.
00:36:03.000I do think that the average person will say, yeah, I think we should probably send illegals out.
00:36:10.000Now, I understand you bring up grandparents and stuff like that.
00:36:13.000And fair enough, they're not high on the list of people to get.
00:36:18.000And if the Trump administration is cutting people loose, if they don't have violent criminal records, that's something that the media is not going to cover because the media wants to see the sensationalism.
00:36:29.000They want to see the confrontations because it gets clicks.
00:36:33.000And of course, to Ian's point, there are international entities, NGOs, and stuff like that that have a stake in this as well.
00:36:40.000But I do think that the the average Trump voter would say, yeah, we should we should send illegals back.
00:36:48.000I would just say optically, like optically and pragmatically, you're not persuading anyone by having ICE pull up on kids, on grandmas, on police officers, but to say, show me your papers.
00:37:03.000So to that point, if they're confronting actual police officers and stuff like that, ICE needs to adjust their tactics.
00:37:11.000But I don't think that the optics of ICE actually doing this really are going to affect whether or not people want to see deportations.
00:37:20.000Donald Trump, deporting people was like top of Trump's agenda.
00:37:25.000And when he got elected, approval of deportations was something like 75%.
00:38:04.000Again, I would just say, I think if we're talking about who's deciding the elections, if we're talking about that group in the middle, not the far right, not the far left, that whatever amount that Trump had to flip, right?
00:39:09.000I would agree with you that the 20 million that came over illegally bad policy, catch and release in America versus catch and release in Mexico, terrible, terrible.
00:39:47.000And they have good benefits and they're not available because people that shouldn't be here are in those positions and we're able to pay them less to do the job.
00:39:55.000Yeah, I guess I would say I don't know how many young people are lining up to do landscaping and construction and are having these opportunities taken from.
00:40:41.000So TaskRabbit is an app where you can go on, you can sign up, and you can provide skills like assembling IKEA furniture, painting houses, you name it.
00:41:06.000He's a comedian in that scene, making well over six figures on TaskRabbit, owning his labor, going direct to consumer and building out an amazing network of people that he keeps going back to, whether it's painting, whether it's handyman stuff, whatever.
00:41:21.000And TaskRabbit takes a small percentage like Uber or Lyft or whatever.
00:41:24.000So I know people are going to like, but I want the construction job that you had 20 years ago.
00:41:29.000And I go, or you can get your butt on TaskRabbit and go build that out and actually make more money, make 10, 15 grand a month by doing this sort of thing.
00:42:31.000You know, you're going to have to, you're going to need to make sure that you're going to have a job next week and the week after and blah, blah, blah.
00:42:37.000There are people that not, that don't want to live in the pod.
00:42:40.000My grandfather, you know, he was a member of the greatest generation.
00:42:43.000You know, like he wasn't a guy that was like, oh, you know, I wanted, want to have this easy life or whatever.
00:43:17.000Are sitting around their house and they're waiting to get a job offer from somebody that a job that they think doesn't exist because grandma is 80 years old and listen to me for a second.
00:43:47.000Like, unfortunately, the economy that we're in right now, like, you're filling out hundreds and hundreds of applications and you're doing dozens and dozens of interviews before you're even given a job.
00:43:57.000The argument here is that because we have illegals in these positions, those opportunities are not even available.
00:44:03.000But those people are complaining about grandma of winners.
00:45:18.000But it's not even just that, what Phil's saying.
00:45:20.000It's also, too, you have young families.
00:45:22.000Like being entrepreneurial, taking on a new business, this requires a lot of time, a lot of energy, and a lot of seed money a lot of times.
00:45:29.000I don't think it requires seed money to get on TaskRabbit risk.
00:45:32.000In order to get the things that you need, like all the things, like the car to get there.
00:45:36.000To assemble IKEA furniture to build it up and make 50 bucks an hour so far.
00:45:39.000You got to go to different houses, right?
00:46:10.000Found a program at an LA community college that was a program to become one of the guys that climbs the line in the electrical and electrical thing.
00:46:40.000And so what I'm saying is, though, sitting back and complaining about the Jays, about the immigrants, taking your opportunities is not going to get you directly to what you actually want.
00:47:05.000But when you're young and you have kids, so you have a young family, going to school, like now you're spending $50,000, $60,000 even at trade school.
00:47:34.000Entrepreneurial people that can use the internet, that can invest in themselves.
00:47:38.000No, you cannot pick up a newspaper and call a place and get a job the same day anymore.
00:47:42.000But you can start a corporation in 30 minutes.
00:47:45.000Yeah, you can, that's, again, you're talking about whether or not there is opportunity versus what basically boils down to people's feelings about immigration.
00:47:56.000And the argument that some immigration does take jobs, that's just true, right?
00:48:02.000Whether or not you think that that's justification for deporting people.
00:48:07.000But the people that, when it comes to actual deportations, it's more than just, oh, an economic factor or job factor.
00:48:14.000There are people that are like, look, I want to live around people like me.
00:48:17.000And whether you agree with that or whether you think that's moral or think it's okay to have that opinion, there are a lot of people that are like, look, the people that we're bringing in, the people that have immigrated here, they're actually changing what America is.
00:48:29.000And so it's a multifaceted topic when it comes to immigration.
00:49:14.000It's because they're going after stop because it's not true.
00:49:17.000Bro, they have been hiding the fact that he's letting people out.
00:49:20.000Okay, Ian, it's not true because if that were the case, then the U-Hauls of Weapons wouldn't have been showing up at the George Floyd riots.
00:49:27.000I mean, they did pallets of bricks at the George Floyd riots.
00:49:29.000The point that I'm making is the U-Hauls of Weapons were at the George Floyd riots because those are leftist agitators looking to destabilize the country.
00:50:25.000But the idea that these kind of things are causing the left to do things, that's not the case at all.
00:50:32.000The left is doing things because the left is taking advantage of the situation.
00:50:37.000So even if ICE was completely benign and they were very gentle about it, and say part of the reason actually is because the Minneapolis Police Department doesn't turn people over to ICE.
00:51:10.000But to Phil's point, to Phil's point, what he's saying is Trump can come out and say the water is blue and the left's going to use that to try and tear on the company or the country.
00:52:27.000I'm saying the folks that are doing this sort of work generally seem to be Hispanic and laborers and I understand because they know they can price out the competition.
00:52:44.000As someone that shares your values, right?
00:52:46.000I've never even had the opportunity for someone to come door to door and say, hey, I'll do this thing for $1,500 that this guy is going to undercut me for $1,000.
00:53:46.000Well, you've got to seek the employer out in this economy.
00:53:48.000Don't wait around to get asked to do a job.
00:53:50.000We're going to jump to the related story here from the post-millennial.
00:53:52.000Tim Walz begs for donations to his legal defense fund after DOJ subpoena over obstructing ICE.
00:53:59.000Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has started raising money for a legal defense fund after the Department of Justice subpoenaed Walls, Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Fry, and others for allegedly conspiring to impede law enforcement.
00:54:10.000This also comes as there has been a massive fallout from a fraud scandal that has plagued Minnesota.
00:54:14.000In a message sent out to supporters, Walls said, Tim Walz here, last week, the federal government opened an investigation into me.
00:54:20.000This comes just weeks after a federal ICE agent fatally shot Renee Goode in Minneapolis.
00:54:33.000Rather than taking accountability and working to turn down the temperature, Donald Trump and his administration are fanning the flames by targeting me for demanding transparency and answers.
00:54:52.000This whole thing is intended to inflame.
00:54:55.000If Tim Walz and Jacob Frye really wanted to turn the temperature down, they would have the Minneapolis Police Department actually arrest or turn over illegal aliens when they're arrested and turn them over to ICE.
00:55:09.000But they don't because they're a sanctuary city.
00:55:12.000They want to have those people there and they want to use this as a means to essentially blame Donald Trump and the administration for being the Gestapo.
00:55:21.000And now he's trying to raise money off the death of Renee Good, which wouldn't have happened if they were turning the illegals over to ICE.
00:55:30.000None of this would happen if it wasn't for the fact that Minneapolis is a sanctuary state, or I'm sorry, a sanctuary city, and Tim Walz was not.
00:55:38.000I mean, I don't know that he's benefiting from the Somali daycare schemes, but he's definitely running interference for it.
00:55:46.000Yeah, and it's kind of ironic, too, because all he has to do is go on Calci and put a ton of money on when he's going to resign and just resign.
00:55:54.000And then he'd have millions of dollars.
00:56:00.000We love Calci, but no, there is smooth.
00:56:02.000I don't know if you can bring that up, Serge, but yeah, there's this whole Calci market up to like $2.5 million or whatever on when he's going to resign.
00:56:10.000If he would just put money down and resign, he doesn't have to beg for money.
00:56:14.000He knows better than anyone else when he's going to resign.
00:56:17.000It's an interesting philosophy feel that Tim Walz is involved in inflaming the situation than complaining that the inflammation is the problem.
00:56:24.000Yeah, I mean, look, he's as the governor and he's made it clear that Minnesota is a sanctuary state, you know, and so that means, and what a sanctuary state means is we don't cooperate with the federal government when it comes to deporting people.
00:56:37.000I got to ask you, Rusalan, how do we, I mean, you seem like you see both sides pretty clearly or different directions you can pivot and see around in 360.
00:56:46.000Like some people seem to think just being here makes you a criminal.
00:56:50.000Like you were saying earlier, we have to get the criminals out.
00:56:52.000You were indicating violent criminals, like rapists, murders, things like that.
00:56:55.000But some people do believe if you're here illegally, you must be out.
00:57:06.000I think every person who comes over illegally takes a risk and they know they take a risk.
00:57:10.000And that's not just folks from South America.
00:57:14.000I've gotten rides from folks that are here illegally that are here fleeing the war in Russia that are like Russians and I connect with them.
00:57:30.000Doing it in an orderly way that doesn't cause more chaos.
00:57:33.000I think that is the deeper conversation that you're pointing to.
00:57:36.000And I think when you're impeding federal investigations, man, especially when there are criminals, when you do have criminals in custody, like, so these guys that get picked up by the Minneapolis PD, I'm assuming they didn't just get picked up for being, they did something to get arrested and then to then not hand him over to ICE seems like, again, another game of chicken.
00:57:57.000Now we're just going to make this thing worse and throw more fire, more gasoline on the fire.
00:58:06.000It's like, I can embrace someone's dignity as a human and the person that came over here illegally to flee the war in Russia and yet they have kids and a wife back home and they're trying to figure out how to get a lawyer.
00:58:18.000I could have the humanity and compassion for that person in the moment while also holding the tension of, you shouldn't have done that.
00:58:38.000I'm not going to go to another country illegally, knowing that I'm there illegal, lie to the authorities, take advantage of their citizens, take an opportunity from someone else.
00:58:47.000Like you, unfortunately, you have to take care of your own.
00:58:50.000And, you know, when you're looking at Minnesota, it's funny.
00:58:54.000The Somali fraud that's going on there is indicative of these people that are coming over here and they're just treating it like their country and they're defrauding us.
01:00:50.000United States invading Mexico, for instance, trying to take Canadian and Canadian territory.
01:00:56.000I mean, look, when it comes to the United States, it's a really tough hypothetical to even entertain just because the United States, the military power that the United States is, it would be a totally different thing than what is going on in the Ukraine and Russia, right?
01:01:09.000With Russia, like they are largely seen to be a paper tiger.
01:01:15.000People were saying that it was going to take a few days or a couple of months before they would take Ukraine.
01:01:19.000And because of funding from the U.S. and other European countries, Ukraine's really been able to stand up.
01:01:25.000And it's turned into disgustingly hard trench warfare.
01:01:34.000I understand why Ukrainians are like, no, I'm going to go fight because it's their country.
01:01:39.000To make that same allegory to the United States is really, really difficult.
01:01:43.000I'll make this, I'll try and bind the gap.
01:01:45.000So if another candidate became president and they were like, yeah, we're escalating in the Ukraine and we're issuing a draft, we're going to send you to Ukraine tomorrow.
01:02:06.000Again, I don't think you can't abandon your own home and you can't break into someone else's house.
01:02:10.000And it's interesting with the Ruslan because you are an immigrant and typically the people that come here and do everything right and illegally and stuff, they're actually the most upset about illegal immigrants because they have completely cut the line.
01:02:22.000They've taken advantage of the whole process.
01:02:24.000I mean, how long was your process that you have to go through?
01:03:11.000Yeah, often, and I don't want to speak with too much certainty on this, but often, at least the Russians that I know that are coming over, come over, get an attorney, and try to go through some sort of legal process.
01:03:21.000And again, I don't know the particulars, but I know it's they're not, there's a plan in place because they're like, hey, I want to bring my wife and kid over.
01:03:27.000Like, I have a whole play here at some point.
01:03:31.000And a lot of the illegal immigrants that really rub people the wrong way, rub Americans the wrong way, they have this concept in their head of they're working here and they're sending money back, right?
01:03:42.000So, as opposed to I'm here and I'm trying to build a better life for me and I'm going to bring my family, actually, I'm just here to work and I'm going to send money back home, which is wealth extraction.
01:03:52.000And these Americans have a problem with it.
01:03:54.000And I agree, and I think that's whack.
01:03:56.000And I think, I mean, there's a connection to Somalia, Somalian money being sent over that went on to fund terrorist organizations.
01:04:04.000I think perhaps the broader question, the deeper question is the type of immigrant that's coming over, are they coming to assimilate to Western values, to Western culture, to learn the language?
01:04:15.000We came over and we all learned a language.
01:04:18.000And you guys are like, you can't even tell an accent on me.
01:04:56.000Whether or not there are some people on the far right that are like, no, we don't want to have any immigration or whatever.
01:05:02.000And even though I have a pretty hardline stance on immigration and on future immigration, the whole point is to get the people that are here, or at least from my perspective, the whole point is to get people to assimilate, become Americans.
01:05:16.000If you become an American and stop thinking of yourself as a member of the culture you came from or the home that you came from, and you actually internalized our values and you really do believe in the things that make America the country that it is and have put us in the position globally that we're in, then I'm fine with it.
01:05:37.000So when I worked at an after-school program years and years ago, and I've met multiple people like that that have been here since they were babies, that are America.
01:05:45.000You would meet them and you would not know that they were undocumented or whatever.
01:05:48.000They've been here since they were babies.
01:05:51.000They're American through and through, right?
01:05:53.000Some of those people, when the DACA thing was trying to get overturned, were getting swept up in this.
01:05:58.000So when I'm talking about folks that have been here 20, 30 years, again, I'm not talking about the 12 to 20 million that came over here illegally from who knows where, with what, who knows what agenda.
01:06:05.000I'm specifically talking about folks that have been here for a while.
01:06:07.000So when I'm saying obuelas, I'm saying she's been here 20, 30, 40 years.
01:06:11.000That's why just because you killed somebody 20 years ago doesn't mean that you shouldn't go to jail.
01:06:17.000And also, to your point, I think the fact that you are calling them obuelas as opposed to grandmas, that colors the imagination of people.
01:06:28.000If they're here and they've been here a long time, and they're still speaking Spanish, there are Americans that are like, well, have they really left the old country behind?
01:06:36.000No, I mean, these folks speak English for the record.
01:06:38.000You said if you killed somebody 20 years ago, obviously it's murder.
01:06:41.000But if you robbed the liquor store 40 years ago, I think there's probably a statute of limitations.
01:08:30.000So when you see politicians that are siding with the people that are waving foreign flags, you see, again, politicians that'll change the state flag to represent a community in there.
01:08:43.000So you understand my position is more pragmatic, though.
01:08:45.000I'm talking about the folks that voted for Biden, that flipped and voted for Trump, those folks in the middle that you need to win an election, whether we want to acknowledge them or not, right?
01:08:55.000MAGA people are always going to be the MAGA people.
01:08:57.000I think the optics matter to those people.
01:09:00.000Well, yeah, and the point that I'm making is, you know, Ian was alluding to this being an escalation or you know, I would agree.
01:09:07.000And so it isn't just that, you know, one side is, you know, the bad guys in it.
01:09:14.000Neither side wants to give up any ground.
01:09:20.000And if you've got people in the country that are waving foreign flags, you're never going to have even the people that are a little squishy on it that are that go back and forth.
01:09:29.000If they consider themselves Americans, they're not going to say, yeah, those people are the good Americans.
01:09:34.000And granted, the people that are that are DACA recipients or people that have been here for 20, 30 years, they're not the ones out there protesting, waving foreign flags, but that they're representing the people that, whether they like it or not, they're representing the people that are here illegally that are just trying to keep their head down and go to work or what have you.
01:09:53.000So this, the escalation on both sides, it's a bad thing for the DHS to be heavy-handed, but largely, to your point earlier, they're letting the guys that are non-violent go.
01:10:10.000If that's the case, then the problem actually isn't that DHS is too heavy-handed.
01:10:15.000It's that the way it's being cast in the media, and I would say the left-leaning media, but they're the ones that are trying to disagree.
01:10:23.000They're the ones that are inflaming things.
01:10:26.000I think in the Waltz case, can we all just agree that he definitely was getting funds from that fraud and he should be arrested?
01:10:32.000I mean, I think at least he was complicit.
01:11:15.000So, back, seeing as we're talking about Waltz, Waltz went on in his statement, he said, My job is to defend Minnesotans and the rule of law, and I'm sure as hell not backing down.
01:11:24.000But the road ahead is long, difficult, and expensive.
01:11:26.000If you're with me, please rush a donation to our legal defense fund and help ensure we can keep fighting for accountability, transparency, and justice, he added, then offering a donation link.
01:11:35.000So, I mean, look, this whole thing, right?
01:11:37.000This is all about Waltz trying to raise money to defend himself against legitimate charges, which I don't, I mean, they haven't come yet, but I think Waltz and Jacob Frey are going to face charges.
01:11:50.000I think just the fact that Minnesota is a sanctuary state is enough, in my opinion.
01:11:55.000I think that personally, I mean, I'm a little hardline on this as well.
01:11:58.000If you're a sanctuary state, I think the federal government should shut off all funding until you come in full compliance with federal law about immigration.
01:12:04.000Yeah, and I also think he's raising because he knows other charges are coming that are related to that Somalia.
01:12:10.000Yeah, I mean, look, if that, if, if he is in any way, you know, complicit or, you know, if he's been taking any money from that or making any money off it, I mean, toss the book at him, you know.
01:12:22.000And I think that everyone's probably in agreement here.
01:12:46.000You know, I mean, look, if she's been involved in it, then I'm completely fine with throwing the book at all of them.
01:12:53.000And to be honest with you, any American that hears this, that if they're found to have been fraudulent and taking money, especially in the quantities that you're talking about, I can't imagine how any American could actually say, yeah, they shouldn't be put in jail.
01:13:11.000Like, that's the most ridiculous position to take.
01:13:14.000These people are defrauding the taxpayer.
01:13:16.000They're inhibiting the federal government from executing laws that were voted on in a bipartisan fashion.
01:14:12.000But I want to clear it here, though, because during a debate with Donald Trump, he said he's like, no, I would say people need to surge the border.
01:14:32.000No, well, not only that, part of the reason why the numbers were high is because people that would come to the border, when they turned them away, they would count those as deportations.
01:15:30.000And that's because that's less money than it takes for ICE to go and round them up.
01:15:34.000So not only are they, you know, is the government deporting people and trying to get people to the people that are criminals that are illegals, they're also trying to incentivize people that are here illegally to leave.
01:15:46.000And they say, look, just leave and then you can file the paperwork and you can come back.
01:15:50.000If you get picked up and found to be here illegally, then you can never come back.
01:15:54.000You know, it is, to be completely honest, the effort that the federal government is putting in to deporting people and doing it in a humane way really is above and beyond any other country on earth.
01:16:10.000The federal government is trying so hard to be gentle with the average, to your point, the people that are here illegally, but that are not criminals.
01:16:20.000They're really putting a lot of effort in.
01:16:21.000And again, I point to the fact that the left is doing everything they can to demonize the administration, demonize the rule of law, and say, look, they're trying to hurt people.
01:17:26.000That's what I think about foreign because no president ever was okay with illegal immigration until Biden because he wasn't really the I mean, technically on paper he was, but he was just signing stuff that they were telling him to say.
01:17:36.000He was saying stuff they were telling him to say.
01:17:38.000I mean, the guy was like rolling, barely able to walk by the end of his term.
01:17:42.000And then, and they use like, Trump was like, let's build a wall, which was actually, in retrospect, a pretty cool idea if you're trying to, but then some external force seems to have been like, we need to, we need to make it seem okay.
01:18:44.000The U.S. used a powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees, bleeding through the nose and vomiting blood during the daring raid to capture dictator Nicholas Maduro, according to a witness account posted Saturday on X by the White House press secretary.
01:18:58.000In a jaw-dropping interview, the guard described how American forces wiped out hundreds of fighters without losing a single soldier, using technology unlike anything he has ever seen or heard.
01:19:08.000We were on guard, but suddenly all of our radar systems shut down without any explanation, the guard said.
01:19:13.000The next thing we saw were drones, lots of drones flying over our positions.
01:19:18.000Moments later, a handful of helicopters appeared, barely eight by his count, deploying what he estimated were just 20 U.S. troops in the area.
01:19:25.000But those few men, he said, came armed with something far more powerful than guns.
01:19:29.000They were technologically very advanced, the guard recalled.
01:19:32.000They didn't look like anything we fought against before.
01:19:34.000Look, the guys that are in First Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta, those guys have the most state-of-the-art stuff.
01:19:54.000So not only can they see in the dark, anything with a heat signature is put in there, they have connectivity between the whole group with these radios that are that are basically networked.
01:20:27.000But apparently the technology has advanced to the point where they can shoot them with these weapons and it'll make people vomit and make people's nose bleed and make you effectually totally incapacitated.
01:20:44.000They'll have like the, like the manliest men from the army or whatever standing out in the field and, all of a sudden, like they'll walk into the field and they can't walk any you know any further because they have like a space, you know, weapon that's, that's shooting down, beaming down on them and yeah, it sounds like they're getting better.
01:21:00.000I guess the question to you Ian, is where this technology come from where yeah, probably in some lab in China no, I don't know, some underground base in Colorado or something.
01:21:12.000Okay, it came from Massachusetts man, it came from MIT, DARPA.
01:21:16.000Like those dudes are up there like tinkering away with lasers.
01:21:20.000Are you have you guys before with Palmer Lucky at all, he runs andural.
01:21:30.000They're private and they want to be able to create weapons that the government will purchase, as opposed to the government saying we want to develop this weapon and then dumping a boatload of money into it, because he says that it's a much more efficient way to to to produce weapons.
01:21:45.000If you, if you listen to some of the interviews that he does, he's like, look the way that we worked in World War Ii was we were able to change all of our manufacturing over to making tanks.
01:21:56.000Well, you know, the Ford plant went from making Fords to making tanks and all of these different companies, this industrial base that we had, made it possible for us to just build weapons super fast.
01:22:06.000Nowadays, if the United States were to get into a conflict, in the example that he used, if the United States were to get into a conflict with China, we're out of missiles in six days.
01:22:16.000He's like, there is no way that we can do this.
01:22:18.000So what Andrell's goal is, he's like, we don't want to be the weapons manufacturer for the government.
01:22:24.000We want America to be the gun store for the world.
01:22:27.000And they're looking to build weapons and advanced weapon systems, but he uses existing technology.
01:22:33.000So instead of saying, oh, you have to have a special circuit board that needs all these things and it has to be built in a special plant, I want something you can go to Radio Shack and buy.
01:22:41.000And obviously, Radio Shack doesn't really exist, but the point that he was making is I want to make these weapons out of things that currently exist.
01:22:48.000So that way, if we get into a conflict, we can say, look, we can build these things right now and we can build 10,000 of them in the next month.
01:23:15.000I mean, fair enough, I suppose that that could be an issue.
01:23:19.000But when it comes to the mission statement of Andrew, his point is, I want to supply the U.S. government with the ability to defend the American government.
01:23:28.000So I brought him up because along with other cool tech you're talking about, he said, I think he says that now the troops are networked with their head visor.
01:23:33.000So if you see an enemy through over there, now all of a sudden he shows up on my screen and I can see him.
01:23:38.000That's eagle eye, and it's not, it hasn't been deployed.
01:23:41.000The guys that, the stuff that I'm talking about is it's night vision stuff that's been around for a little while and thermal stuff that's been around for a little while.
01:23:48.000It's just that the ability to integrate the two is kind of the if it is deployed, they'll tell us it hasn't been deployed until it's really they find.
01:23:55.000Well, if it was, if it, if it, if Palmer Lucky actually had has had sold that to the government, I don't think he would have been on Joe Rogan talking about it.
01:24:04.000My argument is that we wouldn't be out of missiles in six days because we have a lot of fat men and little boys that we still have.
01:24:10.000Uh Ruzine, what's your position on nuclear war?
01:24:14.000That's a totally different topic, by the way, I will say, peace through strength seems like a logical pathway in this sort of stuff.
01:24:21.000So if we all know mutually assured destruction, we just all wipe each other out.
01:24:25.000So I personally am for building up strong governments, building government militaries, all these sorts of things.
01:24:32.000Uh, increasing the spending on this that might be controversial.
01:24:35.000Uh, because I think the more weapons we have, the the more, the more your enemy is strapped and has ars, the less likely you are to try and break into his house or pick a fight with us, especially the more modern weapons you have.
01:24:47.000You know the Russians in 35 or 38 had the most garbage tanks on the planet, which is why the Germans plowed through.
01:24:56.000But like what i'm interested, like to your point, Sean is lasers.
01:24:59.000Now we may run out of missiles in six weeks days, but if we have laser weapons, which apparently we do, I was so scared that drones were going to destroy the world.
01:25:08.000That drone warfare, swarm warfare would obliterate humanity, AI onboard drone war.
01:25:13.000Now we have area denial lasers, so you won't even see it, but it'll knock every piece of machinery out of the sky.
01:25:20.000Are you familiar with what the evolution of drone warfare in the Ukraine war?
01:25:24.000So when the war started, right, they were using drones that were remote control, right?
01:25:33.000If you look now, there's so many drones that are actually run by fiber octave cable.
01:25:38.000You basically get a spool that's like five, ten kilometers of fiber octave cable, and they they send the drones out connected because connected to a cable in the sky?
01:25:49.000No, I swear to God, bring up a picture of these crazy.
01:25:54.000It reminds me of the race cars when you were a kid.
01:25:55.000You'd have the wireless cars, then you'd have one with a little string to it.
01:25:58.000Well, what's happened is now there are videos that Serge is going to pull it up, but of just a whole landscape covered in what looks like cobwebs because they have all these drones that had the fiber optic filament.
01:26:13.000And that's directly because you have jamming devices.
01:26:17.000So now the idea of drone swarms coming from a ship to mainland U.S. See, that's kind of like what it looks like.
01:27:00.000Well, the idea that military technology reaches a stopping point, drones are here, so that means that nothing's going to be able to be done.
01:27:13.000People thought the same thing with nuclear weapons.
01:27:16.000There's never going to be another war again because it's too dangerous.
01:27:19.000Well, we just actually aren't using them, and there's still conventional war that goes on.
01:27:23.000Are these drones that are attached to wires, they're more resistant to area denial?
01:27:28.000Yeah, so the fiber optic cable is actually where the controls come from.
01:27:32.000So you can't jam them because what was happening is you could see pictures and videos of dudes with these big old backpacks with a bunch of antennas on them.
01:27:40.000They're out at the front, and those are jammers, so that way the drones couldn't receive signals from the base.
01:27:47.000The laser weaponry they're talking about actually fries the machinery.
01:28:13.000The tethers would have to be able to go through each other.
01:28:15.000It'd have to be a material that could pass through it.
01:28:16.000Well, I mean, that kind of idea, I don't think that that's practical personally, just because of the fact that if you have a mothership, that's a vulnerability.
01:28:34.000Again, I mean, it's possible, I assume, but at this point, getting that kind of weaponry into the air is difficult.
01:28:41.000And look, man, an F-15 shot a missile and took out a, this is in the 80s, shot a missile into space and took out a satellite.
01:28:53.000So even being in low Earth orbit, high enough to be in orbit, but low enough where you could actually get something from orbit to the ground without burning up.
01:31:12.000So then we just spend years and years and years spending millions and trillions and billions of dollars on war and killing people over time.
01:31:20.000Like, how is that about seizing the capital without a sort of if the goal is to help the Iranian people, the Persians and the Iranian people, to dethrone their government, a nuclear bomb kills way too many people?
01:32:15.000There's no reason to believe that the United States, if there were to be military action in Iran, there's no reason to believe that we're going to do some kind of nation building, particularly when there's the former Shah of Iran or his kid that's in the United States that set up a website that the Iranians can access talking about, you know, he wants to come back.
01:32:34.000If the U.S. were to be able to take out the Mullahs or whoever's in charge of Iran, the goal would be to put the Shah back in charge or allow the Shah to get back in control of the country.
01:32:47.000You don't need to wipe out everybody in the country to do that.
01:32:51.000I'm just saying it's a bad idea to drop a nuclear ship.
01:32:55.000I am against nuclear weapons for the record.
01:32:57.000But again, your hypothetical is it's dragging on and on and on and the U.S. is involved.
01:33:03.000That is a different subject than taking boots on the ground.
01:33:07.000That is a different subject or a different goal than what I'm talking about, which is if the U.S. is trying to help free the people of Iran from the existing theocracy and they have a leader that they want, which would be the former Shah or his kid or whatever, if that's the goal, then there's not American boots on the ground forever.
01:34:10.000If the Iranians were attacking, I would take your argument.
01:34:15.000Seriously, if the Iranians were attempting to invade the country, if they were arming against us, for sure, nuclear weapons are not off the table, but it's not the way to win the hearts of the Iranian people.
01:34:24.000I'm just saying the Iranian people are saying that they're peaceful people.
01:36:11.000Just because I'm not a Warhawk doesn't mean that I don't understand the politics that are going on and understand what the goals would be.
01:36:18.000I'm just saying anybody that advocates to use billions of our dollars constantly over decades and destroy our future generations has to explain to me why we can't just take care of it in one day.
01:36:28.000All of this context that you're adding doesn't actually apply to this particular topic.
01:38:32.000By the time you hear this, he'll be home resting.
01:38:34.000From S.F. Campbell, he says, Trump created the International Board of Peace and appointed himself chairman for life, which is hilarious and the most Trumpian thing I've seen.
01:38:45.000And the chairman chooses his successor.
01:38:47.000About 35 nations have already committed to participate.
01:38:50.000The left will obviously never tolerate DJT having enduring global influence after his presidency.
01:38:56.000So what would be their most likely retaliation if, when they accomplish federal power again?
01:39:03.000I mean, they would do whatever they can to disassemble it.
01:39:07.000And I think that goes for just about anything that Trump's done, right?
01:39:10.000Like, so the Department of War, should a Democrat win, the Department of War will be the Department of Defense 15 minutes after he's inaugurated as the president, whoever the next guy is.
01:39:24.000As for, I mean, I don't know that there's going to be retaliation beyond just taking apart everything that Trump did.
01:39:31.000Look, even Trump's positive, even the good things that Donald Trump did, like the remain in Mexico policy, right?
01:39:38.000They took that away right away and Biden was like, no, we got to bring all the immigrants in.
01:39:43.000And now we've got, you know, all of the problems that came along with totally unfettered illegal immigration.
01:39:50.000People were just running into the country.
01:39:51.000All you had to do was get to a port of entry and say, oh, look, I want to be, you know, I'm here for asylum, regardless of the actual laws and rules surrounding seeking asylum.
01:39:59.000So I don't know that there's going to be retaliation, but they will definitely do their best to take it apart.
01:40:05.000The first thing I thought was they would make a German Shepherd the chairman of the World Peace Correlation.
01:40:12.000But I guess if Trump is the only one that gets to decide who the next head of his global alliance and what that kind of it's for life.
01:40:18.000So just because just because he's no longer the president doesn't mean that he's out of the chair position.
01:42:34.000That's why I hope they run her because women hate women so much.
01:42:39.000Like having her go, it's going to be, they lose.
01:42:42.000I mean, it depends on the conditions, right?
01:42:45.000Like, if the left gets in and they expand the court and do all the things that they want to do and make at-home voting a thing, and maybe they make an app where you can vote from your app, which is a horrible idea.
01:43:02.000If it's a fair election where people have to go to the polls and it's a one-day thing, if the Republicans can actually pass the Save Act and make these changes to make sure that the elections are actually secure and it's a one-day thing, then I think that I would agree with you.
01:43:21.000If it's a situation where the Democrats can say, look, we've created this app and you just download it and you can vote from there.
01:43:27.000And, you know, we're going to go and mail ballots out and we're going to do ballot harvesting.
01:43:31.000And if the Democrats are in control of the election the way that they were in 2020, I don't believe for one second that a woman cannot win.
01:43:39.000I think that it's all about who controls.
01:43:41.000Look, it's all about who's counting the votes.
01:44:49.000Look, if men don't get along, men might get into a fistfight.
01:44:52.000There's always an underlying possibility of violence.
01:44:55.000And then after the fight, they can settle the score and just be like, all right.
01:44:58.000Because what the fight does is it figures out who's actually on top, right?
01:45:02.000The physical fight, it's like the guy that loses the fight kind of is like, all right, well, that guy's kind of, you know, in charge.
01:45:07.000And this goes back to before we were even humans.
01:45:10.000Women have to do things like they need to de-escalate.
01:45:14.000They need, because they're not physically powerful, they use control, they use manipulation, they use, and this isn't trying to say that women are bad.
01:48:25.000At some point, there would be a fight between the religious immigrants and the left.
01:48:33.000But I think that that's further down the road because you don't see that confrontation happening en masse yet in the UK, although it's coming.
01:48:43.000Sorry with like Tommy and, you know, you saw some of that.
01:48:46.000What I'm talking about is you don't see the left.
01:48:48.000Because they see each other as fighting a common enemy.
01:48:59.000Oh, that's the scary part as a theocracy coming out of all this, the rubble.
01:49:03.000It's like somebody's like, it's my belief structure that's the most important thing.
01:49:07.000Well, both of them have a belief structure, but the left, because of the way that the left operates, they're going to say, well, we can't attack these minorities, even if they become a majority.
01:49:20.000And that's what has to happen to your point, or to push back on your point.
01:49:26.000They have to be close to a majority before they actually confront the left.
01:49:46.000Yeah, but I think that so at least in the hypothetical that was presented, just because the left wins the next election doesn't mean that that's the point where the left starts fighting with the religious.
01:50:12.000And then these two conservative movements, like everyone started pointing their guns at each other and attacking each other on the conservative side because why?
01:50:23.000And when you win, people are terrible winners.
01:50:25.000They start attacking each other instead of keeping their eye on the price.
01:50:28.000I think that's part of the problem with partisanry, is it's so much about you and your group that, even if you have other groups with you that have a common enemy, split away like big TENT.
01:50:37.000Are you ready to amalgamate or are you still partisan?
01:50:41.000So Doc T-bone says Phil and everyone other than Ian Rosie O'Donnell, self-deported because Trump won.
01:51:05.000Actually, I think you need to make it painful for them, and part of that is taking away their underclass, their slave class, forcing them to have to pay more for the services and the things that they you know.
01:51:16.000That's the only way to get rid of these people.
01:51:19.000This is just my opinion, but I don't think that the slave underclass is going to be a thing far into the future, because I really do think that the point that i'm making is I think that robots are actually going to become so, so they're going to be ubiquitous.
01:51:38.000I mean, people don't realize how many robots.
01:51:40.000They they interact with and see nowadays and like we were talking last night about, you know the you get Amazon deliveries by a robot.
01:51:47.000Now you get, you can get food deliveries by robots and I think that there will be some you know some amount of of human beings doing menial labor in for the next few years.
01:51:59.000But honestly, I do think that once they perfect Optimus and and the human humanoid robots, and once they start getting Into society, And again, these things are not going to be expensive.
01:52:12.000And when I say not going to be expensive, I mean they're not going to be prohibitively expensive.
01:53:20.000I mean, like, you know, you have those like robot washers or whatever.
01:53:23.000Like, they don't have opposable thumbs.
01:53:25.000They can't do a lot of the stuff like cleaning a house, doing the plumbing, doing like the electricity.
01:53:31.000Right now, I don't share your guys' optimal.
01:53:34.000I think it's like two generations down the road, honestly.
01:53:36.000Like to where it literally becomes a part of like, you know, with people can't even get cars to drive themselves, even though we have the time.
01:54:04.000So there are times where driving is inhibited by weather, but that doesn't mean that a robot, like a humanoid robot inside the house is inhibited in the same way.
01:54:13.000I mean, listen, I hope you guys are right.
01:54:16.000I just, I fear like we've been made all these promises on this stuff.
01:54:20.000Elon's pretty good at following through so far.
01:54:51.000But again, this is the the if you look at the stuff that Boston Dynamics is doing and the robots that they have, the Atlas, I think is the name of it.
01:55:01.000But those, like, it's not very far off where AI will be able to do, because they have the ability, they have the mobility, they have the articulation necessary, but it's a matter of getting the AI to be able to do that.
01:55:14.000And AI is, I mean, look at, I bring this up a lot.
01:55:19.000The Will Smith eating spaghetti two years ago.
01:55:47.000Remember, an order of magnitude is at zero.
01:55:50.000I just, I hope you guys are right, but I, you know, after being in kind of like manufacturing and the corporate world, like the nuances in any process are so like, like, there's so many little things, like even in the smallest process of like watering the plant or whatever, like from office to office, like there's all these nuances.
01:56:27.000But when you get into the nuance of like Ian likes to have his bed made a certain way, like instead of, you know, like the fold here needs to be here.
01:56:34.000You know, like there's just like just me being like a process guy, like I know like how much nuance is.
01:56:41.000I keep picturing these robots with like tool belts that have all these different, like an egg beater and a knife and a spoon, and then they can go zing and they roll their hand off and they put the egg beater on.
01:56:53.000Why would you do that when all of these tools exist and you're making robots with hands?
01:56:59.000If the grips are good enough, because like Sean's saying, process, I don't know if the hands are going to be, robot hands are going to be good enough for Google for the real specifics.
01:57:26.000Mr. Sambra Joe says, for the panel, I understand Abuela looks bad, optics.
01:57:32.000But if we don't deport illegals, what will the message be for everyone looking to come here to the USA?
01:57:36.000I also believe we need to start going for landlords, companies, and corporations using illegals for cheap labor or get some economic advantage over the U.S. American citizens trying to do everything by the book.
02:00:19.000What do you guys believe Vance would do if Trump is impeached or arrested?
02:00:23.000Go scorched Earth and declare sedition or sit back and wait his turn.
02:00:26.000I mean, I think that he would, I mean, he will, first of all, he would take the office of the presidency and then he would, you know, probably direct the DOJ to look into it.
02:00:36.000I mean, I'm not sure how you would get Trump arrested without the DOJ, but if he was impeached and removed from office by this, you know, impeached by the House and removed from office by the Senate, which is a long shot because the Republicans control the Senate and likely will control the Senate after 2028 as well.
02:00:54.000I think that he would probably direct the DOJ to look into it and see.
02:02:26.000And we went to Rice University and uncovered a bunch of new upcoming super tech that's being built, nanotechnology and wild, awesome interviews.
02:03:15.000We're talking about scammers and how you can protect yourself and what's going on with scammers on the internet and how they're using AI and it's all a scary, scary thing.
