00:09:38.000It actually has an angel number meaning.
00:09:40.000It indicates that your guardian angels are aware of your entreaties regarding financial necessities and requirements.
00:09:47.000So he's wishing financial prosperity on the 47th president.
00:09:52.000Well, he knows that Donald Trump was richer before he became the president, and he knows that it's cost him money to be the president, so he's hoping that Donald Trump gets back the money after he's finished as a public service.
00:10:05.000Seriously, what did he think was gonna happen after posting this?
00:10:09.000Like everyone was just gonna scroll past it?
00:10:14.000I genuinely think that a lot of these people are so used to getting away with violence and threats He didn't think anybody would do anything about it.
00:10:37.000I think they should, but I was telling the good rep over here how much I love Democrats because they are ruthless and merciless.
00:10:46.000And if this were inverted, the Democrats would be—you'd have a handful of federal cops just mercilessly beating the Republican FBI director.
00:10:55.000Yeah, look at what they did, the J6ers.
00:10:58.000People that didn't even get near the building.
00:12:00.000Well, people don't know this, but Kamala Harris is actually a necromancer.
00:12:04.000And the reason she was on the ticket is because she was the only one who could actually puppet string the Biden into looking like he was running.
00:13:06.000I can't think of a good word for this, but he hired a bunch of really stupid people because he trusted really stupid people.
00:13:14.000I think a lot of the reason why he hired the people that he did is because he believed that once he got elected and got into office, they would treat him like the other presidents.
00:13:26.000And there's nothing that Trump wants more than to be liked by people and to be in the club.
00:13:31.000If you look at that as something bad, then fine.
00:13:35.000If you look at that as something good, then fine.
00:13:37.000But what Trump wants is to get the respect of the people that were in the club.
00:13:42.000If it wasn't for Barack Obama making fun of him, he likely would have never run.
00:13:48.000But it was a big F you to the establishment and to everybody that was at the White House Correspondents' Dinner that laughed at him.
00:13:54.000He got in and then he was like, okay, I will be magnanimous and I will treat you all well and I'll be nice and I will, you know, if you'll let me in the club.
00:14:03.000And the difference between Trump and every other president is once he was in, they didn't consider him.
00:14:09.000They didn't think of him as an insider.
00:14:31.000And in it, Michael Moore argues that Trump was accidentally the president.
00:14:36.000And he only announced he was running for president because NBC gave Gwen Stefani a better contract, and he got offended because he's a bigger personality.
00:14:43.000So he thought, if I announce that I'm running and then actually do this, once I leave, I'll have better name recognition and they'll give me a better deal.
00:14:51.000But then he accidentally won and was befuddled.
00:14:55.000Which makes no sense because he registered MAGA four years before he ran.
00:15:05.000He was flirting with it for a long time, but as somebody who'd never ran for anything, a lot of people who are private sector individuals don't want to jump right in like that.
00:15:19.000Not that I'm in the political realm, but I know a few people that are elected officials, and I would not want anything to do with that at all.
00:15:27.000It seems like an exercise in masochism.
00:15:31.000But he was flirting in 2000, I think, is when he was going to start that third party.
00:18:19.000No, the time that Trump spent, you know, in the wilderness was really, really good for, you know, I think it'll end up being good for the country.
00:18:29.000But it was definitely good for Donald Trump because he went and, if I understand correctly, I was watching a lot of stuff that...
00:18:36.000Sean Spicer and Mark Halpern have been talking about it, and they were saying, you know, he spent a lot of time finding people in Washington and talking with them and listening to them and saying, you know, what did I do wrong?
00:18:52.000And he really spent a lot of time thinking about that and figuring out how to make sure that it doesn't happen, which is why we got the flurry of activity that we had when he first got elected, when he first got...
00:19:06.000And that's why, you know, we'll talk about it in a little bit, but that's why we see the Supreme Court today talking about birthright citizenship.
00:19:12.000If I understand correctly, they're not actually going to be taking on the issue of birthright citizenship, but they are taking on the issue of blanket pardons.
00:19:22.000Supreme Court justices appeared divided in birthright citizenship arguments.
00:19:27.000So for those that aren't familiar today, they heard the oral arguments as to whether or not people get citizenship just because they were born here.
00:19:32.000They also heard arguments on universal injunctions.
00:19:35.000And as always, the liberals are saying the clearly liberal things and the conservatives are saying the clearly conservative things.
00:19:44.000The U.S. Supreme Court seemed at least partially divided on Thursday as the justices heard more than two hours of arguments debating how the lower courts should handle Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship.
00:19:54.000Trump has long maintained there is no such thing as birthright citizenship, but the Supreme Court ruled otherwise 127 years ago.
00:20:01.000The court said then, and since then, that the text of the 14th Amendment enacted after the Civil War says that all babies born in the U.S. are automatically U.S. citizens.
00:20:12.000Undaunted Trump on his first day issued an executive order.
00:20:14.000We know when the Court of Appeals refused to intervene with litigation preceded.
00:20:19.000The Trump admin asked the Supreme Court to block universal injunctions altogether.
00:20:22.000The admin asserted that single district judges should not have such broad authority.
00:20:27.000So on Thursday, the court heard emergency arguments in the case.
00:20:30.000So, yeah, it doesn't seem like they're going to answer just right now on birthright citizenship, but on the issue of...
00:20:49.000They said, the argument was, what's wrong with a district court judge telling the government what you're doing is illegal so you can't do it to anyone?
00:21:01.000And the Solicitor General for the U.S. said, we enacted a Trump-signed executive order about the military.
00:21:19.000The appeals court put a stay on the injunction saying, for the time being, until this is properly adjudicated, you can continue.
00:21:28.000Shortly after that, they filed in another district court and got another universal injunction.
00:21:32.000So how does it make sense that you're going to get an appeals court saying keep going, but then another district court can just put another injunction?
00:21:39.000And the Supreme Court justice said, yeah, but then wouldn't everyone who's affected have to get a lawyer and sue when these things happen?
00:21:50.000The argument from the liberal court was that people uninvolved in a court case could and should be granted relief or impacted by a court's decision.
00:22:51.000So the special interest groups like the gun owners of GOA, Gun Owners of America, or FPC, Firearms Policy Coalition, or whatever, these groups can go to the court and say, we need an injunction for our members.
00:24:54.000Schizophrenic bipolar individuals are now...
00:24:59.000It's an absurdity that you basically have in these universal injunctions rule by decree of the judiciary.
00:25:10.000They can literally just, we hereby say the government can no longer arrest people for smoking pot and just decree that marijuana is not illegal anymore.
00:25:20.000So I don't know if they're, you know, according to NPR, it looks like even the conservatives weren't convinced by No, I don't think the Constitution says that.
00:25:40.000I think it's pretty clear that the President and Congress have the authority over this topic to define it and to determine, you know, naturalization.
00:25:50.000I don't think, and nowhere in there does it say that Anybody born here has U.S. citizenship.
00:26:00.000Well, the 40th Amendment says all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.
00:26:09.000That's the letter of the law, not the spirit of the law, and it definitely wasn't intended to mean anyone who flies over the border at the last minute while crowning is about to give birth to a U.S. citizen.
00:26:21.000That is not the way it was intended at all.
00:26:24.000Indeed, the intention of the 14th Amendment was to say, hey guys, stop the Civil War stuff.
00:26:37.000Okay, now moving forward, and then some, like, what, 40 years later, somebody was like, yeah, but it says if you're born here, you're a citizen.
00:26:45.000And then they were like, no, that meant then.
00:26:53.000We have a unique problem now that they didn't have back then, and that is that we have thousands and thousands of people streaming over the border, as you said, pregnant, to have babies here, to anchor themselves and their families in the United States.
00:27:06.000And a lot of these people are not amalgamating with the culture.
00:27:11.000They have their own cultures, and they maintain, in some sense, they maintain their patriotism and allegiance to the countries that they come from.
00:27:20.000This is a unique problem that we have.
00:27:22.000This isn't a problem that goes back to the Civil War.
00:28:16.000Because it's clear, to me, the way the Second Amendment is written is that if the military is going to have this, then the citizens should have it too.
00:28:27.000In the late 1700s, when they were fighting a war, and then I think it was, what, 1789 when they drafted this, people had cannons, artillery.
00:28:39.000And even to this day, private companies make nuclear weapons for the government.
00:28:43.000They just regulate and control how it's done.
00:28:44.000So I do think we want to protect the basic right of the people to keep and bear arms, but basically everybody, I know not literally everybody, but most people would be like, we don't think...
00:28:55.000Random people should have biological weapons.
00:29:10.000You know, maybe, now that you mention that, their thoughts on bioweapons may be different than what we're talking about here.
00:29:18.000But my point in bringing that up is they didn't perceive of it that way, of like weaponizing viruses to target genetics and things like that.
00:29:49.000And then, this is, okay, whatever it is your arguments are, whatever you want to think, I'm going to tell you exactly why we have to get rid of birthright citizenship.
00:30:07.000What happens if an Iranian couple travels to the U.S. by whatever means they can, because they do, and gives birth to a child in America, and then three months later flies back to Iran through Turkey or something, right?
00:30:26.000And that child grows up as a staunch Islamist and supporter of Iran and their desires and their goals, but as an American passport.
00:30:36.000This is very similar to the reality of Hassan Piker.
00:30:39.000And then the Iranian 20-year-old, who barely speaks English, moves to the United States, an American citizen, born in America, allegiant to Iran, and then goes to university, learns a language, and then runs for president.
00:31:29.000So for every person, back in the Founding Fathers, they didn't, people, every person born was not a walking liability, financial liability.
00:31:38.000Every child born in America is, or that is a U.S. citizen, is hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs, just in education costs alone, to the U.S. taxpayers.
00:31:51.000God forbid they get sick and they go to the hospital.
00:31:53.000We're paying for their Medicaid, right?
00:33:37.000Wisconsin judge charged with helping a man who was in the country illegally evade U.S. immigration agents.
00:33:46.000Who was trying to get him from the courthouse, filed a motion to dismiss the case Wednesday, arguing there's no legal basis for it.
00:33:53.000Attorneys for Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan argue in the notion that her conduct on the day of question amounted to directing people's movement in and around her courtroom, and that she enjoys legal immunity for official acts she performs as a judge.
00:34:06.000They cite last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Trump's 2020 election interference case.
00:35:35.000But contracts can be voided by a judge.
00:35:37.000You can, you know, I can sign a label deal with Phil that's totally sound and legit, and then a judge finds it to be unfair and just voids it.
00:35:45.000It's like the contract doesn't mean anything.
00:35:47.000So people don't understand that the law is as people are willing to enforce it.
00:35:53.000So then when this judge says, hey, look, I'm allowed to direct traffic in my courtroom, so I'm immune, and he's saying judge is going to go, nice try, lady.
00:36:04.000We understand what you're trying to do.
00:36:07.000I mean, it's unfortunate, but if you can make an argument and you have someone that's politically aligned with you and they're politically motivated, almost any argument will do.
00:36:18.000She's going before, I guess, a Democrat judge appointed by Bill Clinton.
00:38:07.000If they lean into class warfare and true left-wing populism, they would clean up, but they're not willing to divorce themselves from identity politics yet?
00:38:18.000Is the humiliation not thorough enough?
00:38:48.000But that's because Trump is a white man.
00:38:51.000It's not just because Trump is a white man.
00:38:54.000I think for some of these people, you're probably correct.
00:38:57.000Or I should say, for some of these people, they genuinely hate white people and they're in the cause.
00:39:04.000But I would argue that for most liberal or Democrat voters, they would abandon the anti-white stuff the moment Trump was out of the picture.
00:39:13.000That wasn't true when Biden was in office.
00:39:50.000Yeah, I think I'm actually on Mary's side on this.
00:39:53.000I do think that they have the desire...
00:39:58.000To look at people as the other, so they look at Republicans overall as the other, and you can see it in a lot of people that post on TikTok, a lot of them, and they tend to be awful, you know, affluent, white, urban, liberal women, and they say some of the most terrible racist things, but because it's directed at white people, it's perfectly acceptable.
00:41:16.000If you can feel morally superior and be absolutely terrible to someone else and feel like you're doing it and you're right in doing it because they are bad, it's something that some people just can't pass up.
00:41:30.000In Congress, do you reach out to Democrats and try to get them on board with your projects, your bills?
00:41:35.000Yeah, just today, Jared Golden and I had a conversation in the hallway about...
00:41:40.000I'm working on a data privacy bill for the data that your car collects.
00:41:45.000I don't know if you're aware of this, but if you buy a new vehicle today, they're tracking so much information about you.
00:42:55.000So this is actually a story that's pretty old.
00:42:57.000Facebook's been able to do this for a long time.
00:42:59.000It can predict when a person will get up and go to the bathroom because it's got a billion people and it's watching everything they do.
00:43:05.000And it can discern that when your GPS shows you get up from your workspace and then walk and then sit down for 10 minutes and then walk again, they're like, that was a potty break.
00:43:14.000So now it's tracked all of the behaviors everyone's done before that.
00:43:59.000One thing if you know as the consumer, if you are prepared and you know and you've consented to that and you say, I know you're going to, like, Google.
00:44:27.000Did you ever accidentally, like, put your hand down on the passenger seat or something or on the backseat and it puts the seatbelt warning up?
00:45:27.000You'll sit down in it, and you'll just have your eyes half, you know, just glazed over and half closed, and then all of a sudden the car will turn left and go into a Starbucks.
00:45:34.000It'll pull up, automatically transmit the data, then a robot arm will reach into the car, and it'll give you a mocha frappuccino, and you'll be like, I did want one of these.
00:45:42.000You know, I wouldn't mind the car telling me if I put on, you know, a couple pounds, so I didn't have to wait until the mirror told me, because that is gradual, and it slowly happens.
00:45:54.000Then just one day you're like, Oh, no.
00:45:56.000I've gained seven or eight pounds, and I've got to go spend a whole bunch of time at the gym.
00:46:00.000If it was just two or three pounds, it's like you gained a couple pounds.
00:46:03.000All right, well, I'm going to go to the gym and take care of this before it gets bad.
00:46:05.000So back to your question about do we work with Democrats.
00:46:09.000I'll tell you, one of my favorite moments of the day is going into the member gym because it's like I'll be lifting weights side by side with Democrats, right?
00:46:18.000And at that time, it's just getting to know each other on a personal level.
00:46:23.000Wow, I didn't know that Democrats went to the gym?
00:46:24.000Yeah, but there's probably more Republicans, but there are...
00:46:28.000Yeah, but look, obviously all the Republicans are ripped, and they're doing heavy curls, and the Democrats are probably lifting five-pound weights.
00:47:14.000And I think that even on a personal level, like...
00:47:17.000AOC and I, for example, we don't align on nearly anything.
00:47:21.000Now, we do on the UAP topic and some privacy issues, but we still find...
00:47:28.000I mean, you find a way to be nice as a human being to the people that you're working with, even when you're disagreeing with them adamantly.
00:47:37.000But when the cameras turn on, because I'm on oversight committee, and when people have their five minutes...
00:47:48.000It's performative, and I can go into a whole thing about this.
00:47:52.000The camera is like a full moon, and when it turns on, they're sitting there talking to you, and they're like, hey man, you know, there's a really great clip, and the camera turns on, and they...
00:48:08.000There's a lot of people that behave that way.
00:48:11.000I think that one of the most messed up parts about D.C. is the committee process because I came from a state legislature where when you have a bill or you have a topic come through, you literally have members that are sitting there and they're asking questions, thoughtful questions, trying to understand the text of the bill, understand the perspective of the different.
00:48:30.000People that might be affected, and they come up and testify.
00:51:00.000Just one at a time, one issue at a time.
00:51:03.000Because then they have to answer for the bills.
00:51:05.000They can't cram a bunch of ancillary stuff into it.
00:51:07.000If you have single-line bills, then Congress people are then going to have to go back to their constituents and say, I voted for it because of this, or I voted against it because of this.
00:51:18.000There are people that are going to be for and against it, and it's easier if you don't have to answer for the bills.
00:51:25.000It's the same reason that Congress doesn't declare war anymore.
00:51:30.000They gave the president, they created a law to give the president the authority to go to war, which the Constitution does not give the president the authority to do that, and it doesn't give the Congress the authority to get out of voting to declare war.
00:51:48.000Gave it to the president and every president since George Bush has been riding on that same authorization.
00:51:54.000And it's because they don't want to have to vote, because it's easier to go to Congress, not actually have to put your name on anything, so that way you don't have to be responsible for anything.
00:52:05.000The reason why they wanted Joe Biden, or one of the reasons why they wanted Joe Biden, is because Joe Biden was a rubber stamp for whatever the Democrats wanted to do, and Joe Biden wasn't going to be responsible, and no one else was going to be responsible either.
00:52:17.000No one could tell you who was actually making the calls in the Biden administration, because it wasn't Joe Biden, because he was...
00:52:40.000Yes, they say finally to get to the bottom of this rep, Warren Davidson from Ohio introduced the Trump Derangement Syndrome Research Act of 2025 to study the phenomenon.
00:52:49.000TDS has divided families, the country, and led to nationwide violence, including two assassination attempts on President Trump, he told the Daily Mail in a statement.
00:52:57.000His proposal seeks to leverage the National Institute of Health's existing programs to study the purported disorder.
00:55:16.000Yeah, I'm not going to disagree with you, but I'll tell you, when she was running for, she was running for like state, Secretary of State of Missouri a couple years ago.
00:55:27.000And like after the first speech that I saw in front of a forum in front of all these Republicans, I was like, that was a very different speech.
00:55:59.000Maybe she would be like Donald Trump and she would get in.
00:56:01.000But I do think, unless it's a safe, like a very safe Republican district that she's running in, I wouldn't want to risk losing a House member because the...
00:57:05.000I think you're right, but I think that one of the things that we've been talking about this a lot is...
00:57:09.000The fact that Donald Trump has shown that presidents can do things.
00:57:13.000Like, for a long time, presidents would get elected and they'd be like, oh, you know, I couldn't do it because of this or I couldn't do it because of that.
00:57:20.000But they're just puppets of the intelligence community.
00:57:22.000And now the American people are like, no, I don't believe you anymore because Donald Trump went in and made all these executive orders.
00:57:28.000And of course, it's up to Congress to codify them.
00:57:30.000But whether it be stuff that makes the right happy or it makes the left happy, like the...
00:57:37.000Prescription drug stuff that he just did.
00:57:39.000That's something that can be done and that presidents or politicians have been promising forever and ever.
00:57:46.000And Trump has shown that, look, if you are motivated to do things, the president does have fairly expansive powers.
00:57:53.000And if Congress or if the judiciary fights you on it, you can fight them back legally in the court and stuff.
00:58:02.000Right now, Donald Trump, his administration, are trying to take any possible interpretation of the law they can to move their agenda forward, while the judiciary is creating unconstitutional universal injunctions to do whatever they can to stop the executive branch.
00:58:17.000And Congress is sitting on the bleachers eating popcorn.
00:58:37.000And the answer that we are given from leadership is that, well, that will never pass the Senate.
00:58:44.000So they make the political calculation ahead of time.
00:58:48.000And the reason is when they backtrack it, they say, well, we don't want to put our vulnerable members on a bad vote or on a vote that they might.
00:59:49.000And I think there's a lot of them are afraid that the way they're going to be viewed, the way their colleagues are going to view them, they don't want to be seen as too extreme, too MAGA.
01:00:16.000I think that what we need to do on shows like this is just actively primary anyone who stands in the way.
01:00:23.000And that is our fault because what they're scared of, the calculation that you're mentioning, is the New York Times is going to write bad things about me and then I'm going to lose my race.
01:00:31.000And it's like, okay, let's see what we here at the Timcast IRL can do to your race if you want to side with the New York Times.
01:00:39.000You're that House Ways and Means Committee?
01:00:45.000You know, I talked about doing it before, but I think the issue is the corporate press has no problem being overtly political and causing these problems for people who fall in line.
01:00:54.000And for shows like this, we're all disparate.
01:01:14.000they're not going to move unless you create some kind of, you know, penalty or, or some kind of force to move them.
01:01:20.000Whenever I first ran for the state house in Missouri, I was, you know, the people that give you advice, the advisors, the long time political consultants said, okay, don't really take a position.
01:01:32.000Like they would tell you to be very vague in your positions so that you don't box yourself in.
01:01:39.000And then they would tell you once, when you're elected, don't, Don't sponsor anything very difficult and certainly don't co-sponsor because everything you do will more likely have a negative consequence.
01:01:50.000So don't do anything controversial or big.
01:01:53.000And that's kind of been the mantra and the attitude.
01:02:25.000I don't know how we get more people into Congress like that, but I do think that the idea of primarying people for, you know, not following through or doing.
01:03:00.000And there are people that are responsible.
01:03:02.000And it usually comes down to just a few people or even one person that had the connections to be able to say, no, we're going to put this on the shelf, you know, whether it be the speaker or whether it be the chairman of a committee or something like that.
01:03:15.000And those people need to be, you know, need to be put on blast when they do things that their constituents don't like.
01:03:21.000Let's jump to this next story from, is it Live Science?
01:03:26.000The sun just spat out the strongest solar flares of 2025, and more could be headed toward Earth.
01:03:32.000The sun has released several powerful M and X-class solar flares over the past few days, resulting in radio blackouts around the world.
01:03:40.000They say on Tuesday, a sunspot on the sun's surface named AR4086 exploded, releasing an X1.2 class solar flare, part of the most powerful category of flare.
01:03:50.000Then during the early hours of Wednesday, another sunspot named AR4087 sped on an M5.3.
01:03:56.0003 flare, followed by an even more powerful X2.7 flare, and yet another M7.7 a few hours later.
01:04:03.000The radiation of these solar flares triggered radio blackouts on the sun-facing side of the planet at the time of the flares, affecting North and South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
01:05:37.000Atmospheric oscillation triggering mechanical failure or something?
01:05:42.000They said a rare atmospherical phenomenon triggered some failsafe which knocked the power out from southern France across Spain and Portugal.
01:06:20.000I do believe we are in a period of time called a syntelia, and this is a thousand-year period of time, and this goes back to the ancient Greeks, all the way back to the ancient Egyptians, the ancient Mesopotamians, in which cataclysm will befall within these thousand years.
01:07:20.000Supposedly, and maybe they've readjusted the calculation, isn't it supposed to pass closer to the Earth, like between the moon and the Earth?
01:07:27.000This says the next approach close to Earth will be 2028, which is not a concern, but there is an estimated 2.3% chance of impact in 2032?
01:07:45.000So, Pophis would pass through a gravitational keyhole estimated to be 800 meters in diameter, this is Wikipedia, which would have set up a future impact exactly seven years later on Easter Sunday, April 13th, 2036.
01:07:56.000It's going to come within 20,000 miles of the Earth's surface.
01:08:51.000Is it not related to just nuclear threat?
01:08:54.000No, I think it's some sort of impending cataclysm that somebody knows about, you know, let's call them the elites, the globalist elite understand that there's a cataclysm coming.
01:09:03.000Maybe that is why their behavior seems to be so reckless, too, because they know that cataclysm is coming.
01:10:25.000Well, no, Florida's not gone, but flooded.
01:10:28.000And I was thinking about this, and I got a question for you.
01:10:30.000If there were to be a cataclysm, what's the most important technology we should be mass producing right now to recover civilization after a cataclysm?
01:10:56.000Technology-wise, what should we be building to reestablish civilization after the cataclysm and we emerge from the bunkers?
01:11:05.000I think that we need to race to, I mean, this is going to sound really sci-fi, but I think the fact that we have discovered the Higgs boson particle, actually, I think it was discovered, what, 12 years ago?
01:11:16.000I mean, that's the particle, that's the field that gives mass to matter, right?
01:11:22.000And I think that we need to really juice the advanced theory in order to create things like...
01:11:32.000Gravity warp bubbles and things like that, right?
01:11:35.000Right, but if civilization collapses, none of that matters, right?
01:11:38.000So what technology do you guys think we would have to mass produce right now so that if civilization collapsed, we emerge from our bunkers a year later, what do we need first and foremost?
01:12:29.000Convince everybody to start mass-producing solar and wind, because without transmission lines and without transportation lines, petroleum ain't gonna save you.
01:12:37.000So the first thing we need to do is, how do we convince the entire Western population to just start producing wind and solar?
01:12:45.000Because we're gonna build these underground cities, and then after the cataclysm, power lines are gone, petroleum, we're not gonna know where it is, we're gonna have no means, perhaps satellite, But once we locate it, we don't got the trucks, we don't got the roads.
01:12:58.000The first thing we'll need is electricity.
01:13:01.000We put up some wind turbines, and we've instantly got a continual source of energy or solar panels.
01:14:38.000They've convinced everybody through legislation and cultural action to start building exactly what we would need in the event of a cataclysm.
01:14:44.000So do you think that the people who, let's say that in this thought experiment, the people who know, the people who know it's coming, do you think that they really care about the populations of Earth or just protecting themselves, their families?
01:14:57.000They care about the population of Earth, but come on, like, Noah's Ark, he couldn't save everybody.
01:15:01.000So you think that they would actually be bringing people down into these deep underground military bases at some point?
01:16:08.000The fact of the matter is, in any scenario where there's going to be a large portion of the population dying off, they're going to select for people that will be beneficial to help continue the population.
01:16:23.000The bad idea or the negative of that is when nepotism and wealth are the only factors.
01:16:33.000You know, if you can buy your way in, you buy your way in for your family and, you know, your kid's a loser or both your kids are a loser and they're addicted to drugs.
01:20:02.000For a long time, and he first worked for Bigelow Airspace, and then he went on to get work for the Pentagon, and then CIA, and basically researching what they describe as crashed material.
01:21:22.000I don't understand how people could have witnessed aliens that look just like Swedish people or Norwegians and then have decided that they were aliens.
01:21:30.000Well, if they see them on board alien craft, that would do it.
01:21:36.000If I woke up and I was in some strange hovering craft and there was just a bunch of random white dudes with black hair, I wouldn't be like, aliens are white people with black hair.
01:21:47.000I'd be like, oh, humans have built hovercraft, okay?
01:21:50.000Well, there's some distinctions for sure.
01:21:52.000I mean, all of these, and by the way, people who've studied, researched ufology for a long time, these are precisely the four that we would expect Davis to acknowledge.
01:22:01.000But could it just be he's just saying what you want to hear?
01:22:07.000He and Hel Puthoff have been in the—they've had access to projects, knowledge of projects, and been working behind the scenes with the government, various institutions, private and public, on this for a long time.
01:22:22.000And they're very serious scientists, both of these guys.
01:22:39.000A lot of people talk about reptilians, but there's actually quite a lot of, I would say, anecdotal evidence for the existence of the greys, of the Nordics, and of the insectoids, or what the late David Jacobs, or he's not dead yet, Dr. David Jacobs calls insectilins, which are these, which are, like, they're sometimes referred to as the mantis beings.
01:22:59.000And these are encounters, especially the greys and the mantis beings, are actually encountered quite often on board vessels, on board alien vessels.
01:23:06.000And the Nordics aren't just, it's not just like you're looking at Scandinavian people, they're telepathic.
01:23:13.000All communication with these things is telepathic.
01:23:16.000And I've heard that they don't exactly look like a human.
01:23:19.000No, no, there's some subtle differences, yeah.
01:23:22.000They would not just blend in to the population.
01:23:54.000I'd want to go back and see, you know, hey, I want to see what the Pharaoh really looked like.
01:23:58.000Okay, this is what confounds me, though.
01:24:01.000As someone who's not just a skeptic, but someone who just straight up doesn't believe in aliens, if that were true, would the powers that be in the intelligence agencies really just come right out and talk about it so openly?
01:24:59.000We're in a new space now, you know, post hearings, post UAP hearings.
01:25:04.000And so five years ago, I would have agreed with you, but that's just not the case anymore.
01:25:09.000I think the reason they don't say it is because, just put it this way, how would you feel if you woke up and realized you were in a rat cage your whole life?
01:25:16.000And everything you knew was just some stupid rat experiment for somebody, you know?
01:25:21.000Like, when we look at rats in a cage in a lab, like, we pity them.
01:25:26.000What if everything you've ever done in your life, everything you hoped for, your dreams, you woke up tomorrow and you knew was completely meaningless?
01:25:34.000The research you've done, the religion you held, everything was just totally nonsense.
01:25:39.000So that you're living in a simulation.
01:26:27.000I jokingly told Joe Rogan that the reason the globalists want a one-world government is because we can't join the Galactic Federation until we have a unified governing body.
01:26:36.000Because who is the Galactic Federation going to negotiate with?
01:28:12.000You can't say that this is just theoretical, that maybe...
01:28:17.000Maybe what these whistleblowers are talking about is real.
01:28:19.000No, many, many people at this point have experienced the phenomenon up close and personal, have seen Kraft.
01:28:26.000The government has admitted at the very least that some of the footage that was leaked by the New York Times back in 2017 is authentic footage and so far has not been able to debunk at least two of those videos.
01:28:40.000I think namely Gimbel and the Nimitz incident.
01:28:45.000I mean, these are legitimate mysteries, and this is technology.
01:28:57.000The thing that you're saying sounds laughable to me.
01:28:59.000You're asking the right person to answer that question.
01:29:01.000Yeah, I laugh because that's the most common question that I get personally.
01:29:05.000But they could be just called by a different name, you know?
01:29:09.000Yeah, and I would say that we have reason to believe that some of them are at the very least demonic.
01:29:14.000Well, what I mean by that is the Christian understanding of a demon, which is not a physical being and can appear to be whatever they want to, to deceive people.
01:29:23.000Well, the Christian understanding, the traditional Christian understanding of a demon doesn't involve UFOs and technology either.
01:31:23.000They are therefore technically extraterrestrial.
01:31:27.000That doesn't mean that they have a physical form, though.
01:31:30.000Just because they pre-exist us, in my opinion.
01:31:34.000They're purely intellectual, purely spiritual beings who don't have a physical form, and therefore, how would they be capable of having relations with a human female?
01:32:36.000And again, according to the Book of Enoch, they concoct this plan that they're going to descend to the earth and they're going to marry.
01:32:43.000They're going to select a wife, each one of them, and they're going to marry these women and then they're going to copulate with them and procreate through them.
01:32:51.000So all of this activity, I mean, it wouldn't make any sense if you didn't have a body.
01:32:59.000Just to quickly mention, the Book of Enoch was never included in the Old Testament or the New Testament, just to be clear, because that's something that's important to mention as well.
01:33:06.000The Book of Enoch was never canonized, no, although it was adopted into the canons of the Tawahedo Orthodox Church and also the ancient Jewish Orthodox in Ethiopia.
01:33:21.000So, I mean, there was a lot of controversy about the Book of Enoch a long time ago.
01:33:26.000Just to clarify, in the King James Bible, it mentions Nephilim?
01:34:12.000I feel like we're just putting a very reductive and human view over something that just transcends our understanding.
01:34:22.000Well, it depends on what worldview you're coming from.
01:34:26.000What is the framework of your perspective?
01:34:28.000And if you're framing this within a biblical context, then it becomes a theological question, and we can make references to certain things that angels do within the biblical narrative and make a theological case that angels do, in fact, have corporeality.
01:35:28.000So the descent of these 200 watchers is a—and by the way, this— Why was Enoch not included?
01:35:34.000That's kind of a difficult question to answer.
01:35:37.000The easy answer is because the Jews rejected the Book of Enoch in their canon, and I think that the reason why the Jews rejected it was because it testified of the man they had crucified, namely Jesus of Nazareth.
01:35:58.000And the earliest portions of the Book of Enoch were written long before the birth of Christ, at least 300 years before the birth of Christ.
01:36:06.000But there's portions of Enoch that have a later date that are after Christ.
01:36:15.000But the earliest portions of the Book of Enoch...
01:36:18.000Are fundamental, foundational to A, Hebrew cosmology in the narrative of the Watchers, which comes from the first Book of Enoch, the earliest manuscript, which is the Book of the Watchers, and then B, even to the eschatology of the writers of the New Testament.
01:36:33.000Their view of the end times, their view of the role of the Messiah in the end times, much of that comes directly from the Book of Enoch.
01:36:40.000So they were clearly influenced by the Book of Enoch.
01:36:45.000There's verses from the book of Enoch, from 1 Enoch, that are literally copied and pasted verbatim in the New Testament, in the book of Jude.
01:36:53.000So clearly the writers of the New Testament were conversant with Enoch, and at least considered some of it, whether oral tradition or the written text, as scripture.
01:38:01.000In fact, this is part of the problem that we've had, because in the beginning we were deceived by one of these beings, namely Satan, the dragon, the devil, this nefarious person that's never actually named in the Bible.
01:38:16.000So I think, again, the premise of ancient astronaut theory is true, but then I would disagree with, you know, the aliens having a hand in building the pyramids and things like that.
01:38:27.000Although, I do believe personally that the Enochian tale, the narrative of First Enoch, specifically from the Book of the Watchers, the earliest portion, is historically true.
01:39:24.000Because you've got the gins and the genies in the Middle East, eight foot tall, green and blue, and then you've got Quezacotal in Central America.
01:39:32.000And so people, I've read questions about why different cultures on the other side of the planet have similar myths of similar beings.
01:39:38.000Well, specifically, when you talk about giants, and this story in general, the narrative that I just laid out, that gods descended, cohabited with human beings, copulated with human women, and progenerated a race of giants, that is ubiquitous.
01:39:54.000That is ubiquitous across every major ancient civilization, believed something like that, that general narrative.
01:40:02.000They believed that the gods, I mean, they have in the Indian epics, the gods are engaged in an epic war.
01:40:12.000With one another using advanced technology, advanced aerospace technology, which they call Vimanas.
01:40:16.000And then, of course, we know the Hellenistic religions believe that, what was it, like Zeus came down disguised as a duck or something and a handsome lady?
01:41:29.000And so then, these stories that you're hearing, I mean, one of the arguments you hear a lot from atheists is that the Bible, or actually not even from atheists, but from Christians, actually.
01:41:39.000The interpretation, the converting of language in the Bible several times back and forth has resulted in certain words not being appropriate.
01:42:05.000I mean, you have young earth creationists who believe that the earth is literally 6,000 years old, and then you have old earth creationists who believe that the earth is probably billions of years old, and they have a different interpretation based on the text.
01:42:15.000Based on a different interpretation of the words.
01:42:17.000Imagine if you described modern technology to any, like, North Sentinelese person, right?
01:44:54.000Like the way that angels appeared to people is not, this is in the Catholic view, it's not the way they actually look because they don't have a physical form.
01:45:07.000They appear to you in a way that communicates.
01:45:09.000Communicates their nature in a way that humans can understand.
01:45:13.000This describes the angels' metamorphic powers.
01:45:18.000I think they're not all that different from us.
01:45:22.000And in fact, I write about this in my book Birthright, but I think that we are the younger sibling in the family of God and that angels are our angelic elder siblings.
01:46:49.000You get a 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee.
01:46:52.000Over 25 years in the business, almost 30 now.
01:46:55.000And they got over $3 billion in trusted transactions, thousands of five-star reviews, lots of gold companies to choose from, but Lear is who I trust.
01:47:03.000And we're working on something behind the scenes.
01:47:05.000I don't want to say too much, but I seriously think that gold and silver are fantastic.
01:47:09.000In fact, I will add to that, I have copper.
01:48:34.000Concrete Haiti says, Second Amendment is absolute, and the founders stated as much, no exclusions or excuses, it's the only right so written.
01:49:10.000I don't want to explain too much, but there was a gentleman who made an extremely powerful radioactive weapon, which I don't want to get into because it wasn't difficult for him to do.
01:50:17.000You can never, ever tell what Adam's going to wear at any one particular show.
01:50:22.000It might be a cape, it might be a tutu, it might be short shorts, but it will likely be ridiculous.
01:50:28.000Mechanical Mercenary says, call your congressman and demand a vote on Short Act and Shush Act, bills that would remove silencers, short-barreled rifles from the NFA.
01:51:11.000The SBR inclusion on the NFA was because they initially were going after pistols.
01:51:18.000And then people were like, no, no, no, we don't want pistols to be regulated like that.
01:51:23.000And so they actually, the short barrel rifles thing was a compromise, which is ridiculous because...
01:51:28.000The argument was you don't want to be able to conceal a rifle or conceal a gun, but they couldn't get handguns onto it.
01:51:36.000So initially it was about getting handguns.
01:51:37.000Then they walked it back and the compromise was rifles with a barrel length under 16 inches, which is ridiculous.
01:51:43.000It makes the laws hard to understand for average citizens, and that's what it's intended for.
01:51:50.000They like it because most people don't want to run afoul.
01:51:56.000Isn't it like if you put a foregrip on a pistol, it can turn into an SBR?
01:52:00.000If you have an AR pistol, and you can have an angled foregrip or a hand stop, but if you put an actual foregrip, then you are actually taking it from being a pistol and making it any other weapon, which needs to be registered under the NFA.
01:54:41.000I do think it was cringe enough that that's the route they went with the video game.
01:54:44.000It's the end of the world and LGBTQ rights are being upheld.
01:54:48.000As if anyone would be gay after the apocalypse, right?
01:54:52.000The Handmaid's Tale might be extreme, but yeah.
01:54:58.000I mean, like, if a cataclysm happens and humanity is on the brink of extinction, yeah, it's going to be pretty authoritarian and militaristic.
01:58:00.000Yeah, they were like, let's just totally ruin it.
01:58:02.000Because the original story was like, a guy's daughter dies, there's a zombie apocalypse, there are fungus zombies, cordyceps, and then he finds this young girl and he protects her.
01:58:10.000And so, for a lot of guys, it was like, I'm going to be a man and save this child.
01:58:14.000And then the second game comes around and they're like, kill the main character and have a gay relationship.
02:00:15.000Blazalot says, I'm a few days late, but when Tim said he had a surprise he was working on since last night, I thought it was going to get the gook song in full.
02:00:22.000I'm allowed to say that because I'm Korean, though, so...
02:00:34.000MFDamian says, For all that's holy, the magnetic poles flip every so often, weakening the magnetosphere, but the axis of the Earth doesn't flip with them.
02:00:40.000The rate of travel from the poles has been accelerating.
02:01:06.000Roman64 says, since we have Congressman Eric on, can we take a moment to talk about Republicans screwing us over in the Ways and Means Committee, not allowing the Hearing Protection Act through?
02:01:43.000Well, my friends, it's about time for that uncensored portion of the show, so smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know.
02:05:16.000I have to admit, when I first heard him and people asked me to go listen to a different podcast that he'd been on, I thought it was extremely different in his views, but I was not all on board.
02:05:32.000And look, I remain a skeptic in general in life.
02:05:36.000When people ask me about the UFO phenomenon, I still say, look, I'm from Missouri, you're going to have to show me.
02:05:41.000I will listen to you and I will investigate and I will do everything I can to get to the truth, but I'm not going to jump to conclusions.
02:05:50.000I do think that the more that I've read Tim's book, I think that he's got very sound theory here.
02:05:58.000So what is your religious affiliation?
