00:02:38.000Speculation over why the CIA director met with the Russians in Moscow is still running rampant.
00:02:44.000And we have our official reporting that it was just to have a conversation, normal, you know, spy chief versus spy chief to discuss what's currently going on and to give Russia a warning not to escalate things.
00:02:59.000However, Bloomberg is reporting that Russian officials fear that Putin is being backed into a corner and is considering using tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield.
00:03:08.000In which case, the question I have over why the CIA director is going to be meeting with the Russians.
00:03:15.000I mean, if it's just to have a hey, don't escalate things, that's a phone call or a press conference.
00:03:20.000If he wants to go on TV and say, if you escalate, we retaliate.
00:03:23.000Again, we see the kind of stuff all the time.
00:03:26.000What issue could be so grave that a US C 17 flies into Moscow?
00:03:32.000The US requests a three day ceasefire so this meeting could happen.
00:03:40.000That this was the U.S. asking for Russia to assist in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which doesn't really make sense to me, but who knows?
00:03:49.000When I see the story from Bloomberg and they say that Russian officials fear Putin is preparing to use nukes, that makes a lot of sense.
00:03:57.000You would definitely set over a high ranking government official to go talk to a nation that was preparing to go nuclear.
00:04:14.000In December, the automatic draft system goes into effect.
00:04:18.000This means that anybody between the ages of 18 and 26 automatically in the draft system, which is probably why they wanted real ID.
00:04:25.000They want to federalize the driver's license system so that they can also have a federalized database of every able bodied male aged 18 to 26.
00:04:35.000Well, now they've decided to implement a war game, a simulation of how the draft would actually go down.
00:05:58.000It's peer to peer and free on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux.

00:07:28.000Well, actually, it's really great to launch off with anarchy considering we're facing nuclear annihilation and world war.
00:07:34.000Here's the story from Bloomberg Putin moves to escalate war in Ukraine as talks at dead end.
00:07:41.000Russia is preparing to escalate its attacks on Ukraine after concluding that negotiations for a peace deal have reached a dead end, according to three people close to the Kremlin.
00:07:50.000For now, Russia is weighing an intensification of powerful conventional ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv, including the center of the capital and infrastructure targets in other Ukrainian cities, the people have said, asking not to be identified because the matter is sensitive.
00:08:06.000Now, I will stress perhaps this is the legitimate reason CIA Director Ratcliffe went to meet with the Russians.
00:08:12.000Because they're going to start bombing the capital.
00:08:15.000This may spark an incursion into NATO territory.
00:08:18.000We've already seen Russian missiles accidentally hit Poland.
00:08:21.000He shows up and says, listen, if these missiles land in NATO territory, you're going to trigger Article 5, and it is full scale war.
00:08:28.000But I got to be honest, I still think that's a phone call.
00:08:32.000I don't, unless there's a very serious threat of retaliation.
00:08:37.000Like if the U.S. said, imagine if Racklin went to Putin and said, if one missile lands anywhere near a NATO civilian, We will nuke you to Kingdom Come.
00:08:46.000That's something that you don't want on the phone, perhaps.
00:08:50.000Trump famously bragged on the phone how he told Putin and Xi Jinping that he said to Xi, if you invade Taiwan, I'll nuke Beijing.
00:08:57.000And he said to Putin, if you invade Ukraine, I'll nuke Moscow.
00:09:00.000And he goes, maybe they didn't believe me, but maybe 5%.
00:09:03.000So that still seems like phone call territory.
00:09:06.000This is where things start getting interesting.
00:09:09.000When you jump down lower in the story, they say, The escalating spiral of strikes is leading a growing number of Russian officials to the conclusion that Putin could eventually opt to use tactical nuclear weapons as a last resort in Ukraine, according to the people close to the Kremlin.
00:09:28.000The risk that Putin would break a global taboo on the wartime use of nuclear weapons that has stood since the U.S. dropped two bombs on Japan has long been a major concern of Western officials.
00:09:38.000The volume of chatter in Moscow from hawks advocating such a step has increased recently.
00:09:43.000An extreme response is viewed as possible.
00:09:46.000Because the only outcome worse than continuing the war for Putin would be losing it.
00:09:50.000And what people need to understand right now is that Ukraine is using powerful drones, small but powerful, to strike targets in Moscow.
00:10:00.000If you are Putin and you are not winning after all these years, and now Moscow is getting bombed, Iranian ships are getting bombed, I think it is possible we see the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
00:10:13.000Now, what people need to understand about tactical nukes.
00:10:17.000We are not talking about intercontinental ballistic missiles or multiple independently targeted re entry vehicles.
00:10:24.000We are talking about artillery with low blast yields still utilizing nuclear warheads.
00:11:00.000I want to show you this one's from the sun.
00:11:02.000Chilling signs Putin is poised to fire a nuke powered flying Chernobyl super weapon as aircraft mass in Arctic just from today.
00:11:11.000When you search this on Google, you get a ton of sources.
00:11:16.000We've got a Turkish source, we've got many Ukrainian sources arguing that Putin is considering using nuclear weapons or that it's a possibility.
00:11:25.000The foreign policy is arguing it is not correct.
00:11:28.000I throw this back to the story that we got over the past few days the CIA director's secret visit to Moscow.
00:11:50.000If it is true, if our CIA has information that Vladimir Putin is preparing to launch a nuke, let's say Putin actually armed some tactical nuclear weapons, and we knew.
00:12:02.000Ratcliffe flies in and says, we know you've armed these weapons, and we're only going to tell you once no.
00:12:08.000I've heard rumors, I don't know how true this is, that Ratcliffe got to talk with Putin for 15 minutes and that was it, and then he was out the door.
00:12:15.000We don't know for sure, but all of this is pretty dang nuts.
00:12:19.000Now, we'll jump to this next story in a bit.
00:12:21.000But with the selective service system now preparing to war game out a draft and the new draft system coming to place in December, well, needless to say, a lot of people are pretty dang concerned.
00:12:32.000And I'm not surprised young people do not like the war.
00:12:36.000I wonder, obviously, if there's any kind of attack on NATO.
00:12:41.000Then you're going to see the US is going to be obligated to get involved.
00:12:45.000But I do wonder how much the United States, what kind of response the United States would do if Putin were to use a tactical nuke in Ukraine.
00:12:55.000Technically, you know, we don't have any obligation to defend Ukraine or to get involved in World War III because of Ukraine, particularly if it's going to be something where it's like, all right, well, you know, Russia attacks, so the United States has to attack Russia or like that.
00:14:07.000Do you think that the US would actually respond or get involved in some kind of kinetic conflict with Russia?
00:14:16.000Because, I mean, if Russia were to use nukes, I mean, we kind of all.
00:14:20.000See where the winds are blowing if the U.S. actually responds.
00:14:24.000Well, we live in a bloodthirsty, war hungry state that will take any opportunity that it can to maximize bloodshed for people that live here and abroad.
00:14:43.000They're just going to chomp on it, of course.
00:14:44.000If the U.S. were actually looking to maximize bloodshed, wouldn't the U.S. then just say, well, we're going to escalate the bombing on Iran as opposed to trying to?
00:14:59.000Well, no, because the state is crazy as it is, it's not stupid at the same time.
00:15:04.000So I'm just talking about the pure data of our history overseas and the way that we conducted ourselves in the 20th century and even beyond.
00:15:14.000So I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if we jump at the opportunity for more escalation and more war.
00:15:19.000I think the phrase maximize is kind of what got radical.
00:15:43.000If the United States were looking to cause as much bloodshed as it wanted, and I've said this before on the show, there has never been a military power in all of human history with as much capability as the United States, right?
00:16:00.000Ever, and no military in history has been as reserved as the United States when it comes to having that much, that disproportionate amount of power.
00:16:13.000I think a good example of that would be World War II, for example.
00:16:15.000Like right after World War II, we obviously spent a lot of time and effort in rebuilding Europe and restructuring Germany and restructuring even Germany to an extent.
00:16:23.000And when it came to the Korean War, right after the Korean War, for example, we helped establish them as a republic, as a democracy that is more aligned with America.
00:16:33.000We went from having Imperial Japan invading basically almost every country in Southeast Asia, including China itself.
00:16:40.000And we made it into a democracy in which the emperor basically became obsequious to the U.S. government, and Douglas MacArthur essentially restructured even their constitution from being offensive to defensive.
00:16:52.000And that's at the point where no one really had nukes, and the Soviets only really had one, I think maybe in 1955, 1956, up until that point.
00:17:01.000So I don't buy the idea that America has been trying to just maximize bloodshed.
00:17:05.000I think we've been very reserved, like you said.
00:17:07.000Yeah, I mean, so like the U.S. doesn't balk at getting involved in conflict.
00:17:13.000So, I mean, that's definitely true, right?
00:17:16.000The U.S. has been in some kind of military conflict basically every year since the end of World War II, definitely.
00:17:26.000And probably for, you know, maybe the argument could be made since the end of the Civil War, too.
00:17:33.000But yeah, and so maybe it's just that I have a problem with the term maximize because, look, I am a pro America shill.
00:17:46.000But I do think that had another country or had another society had the same disproportionate military capability that the US has compared to the rest of the world, I think that the body count would be much higher.
00:18:04.000You look at the, like, you give the Huns that kind of, I mean, look at what the Huns did just with horses and bow and arrow.
00:18:10.000They had, like, you know, they had, that was a significant.
00:18:14.000Capability that most of the people that they conquered and stuff didn't have.
00:18:18.000And they conquered all of a or most of Asia and you know killed millions like Attila the Hun, like 30% of the population of Earth now has is somehow descended from Attila the Hun.
00:18:33.000Just to speak back on the story, I mean, like, I think there must be a precedent set here either by NATO and the European Union and the European conglomerate or America, but like someone has to step up.
00:18:45.000I think Europe has to step up more than America because they're actually there, they're more in danger, they're closer.
00:18:51.000Like, as much as we can talk about Russia and Ukraine, like, Russia would never actually nuke America out of the whim, right?
00:19:00.000They're more of a threat to Europe and obviously Ukraine.
00:19:03.000And so Europe would certainly need to set a precedent because if Putin can use tactical nuclear weapons on Ukraine and no one really does anything apart from, hey, we're going to send you more weapons.
00:19:11.000Hey, we're going to send you more money.
00:19:13.000Hey, we're going to give you more humanitarian aid or monetary aid, that's like, well, then Putin can go further and further and he can start gaining his own sort of momentum under that, you know.
00:19:51.000In fact, the New York Times isn't the only major publication to have written this.
00:19:56.000Now, don't get me wrong, there's a bunch of European outlets that have been saying this for months now, potentially years.
00:20:01.000But we've got Express, we've got the New York Times, as well as many smaller publications now joining in asking the question Are we in World War III?
00:20:10.000And the argument made by Brett Stevens is that World War II was not simply Germany's invasion of Poland kicking it off.
00:20:17.000There had been an accumulation of regional wars and crises beginning with Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931.
00:20:23.000And for that matter, as I was explaining in my earlier morning segment, World War I did not begin simply because Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot.
00:20:31.000There were already these tensions, the industrialization of weapons, everything was being geared up towards war, and they were just waiting for the straw on the camel's back.
00:20:42.000So, of course, we'll look back historically and say this was that key moment.
00:20:46.000However, we don't know if it may have already happened or it'll be in the future.
00:20:52.000For instance, the American War for Independence, the shot heard around the world, We had already been in a conflict fighting with the regulars for some time.
00:21:02.000This is when it kicked off when they tried to seize weapons.
00:21:04.000Because you had, you know, obviously the Boston Massacre, the Intolerable Acts, and then you had, of course, with the Civil War, the Battle of Fort Sumter, where we say the war began.
00:21:15.000But the American people at that time did not think a Civil War was actually going on.
00:21:50.000And the question is with all of these wars happening now around the world and escalating, is it World War III?
00:21:57.000Yeah, I like the way that you sort of phrase that.
00:22:00.000There's no actual threshold, like how many countries need to be fighting, how hostile does the world stage have to be in order for it to actually be classified as World War III.
00:22:09.000And so what happens is historians look at history, look at sort of like turmoil and what is actually happening on the global stage, and they decide, hey, this is when we think the Revolutionary War started.
00:22:20.000This is when we think World War III started.
00:22:23.000But there's always tension, like you mentioned, Tim, before that.
00:22:27.000You know, there's always sort of that tension before that.
00:22:29.000So it's very possible that we are in the beginning stages of World War III.
00:22:32.000And by the way, it's like, I know, like, when I envision World War III, I think when a lot of people envision World War III, we think of, like, okay, nukes are going off everywhere and everything is crazy.
00:22:41.000It doesn't always have to be like that.
00:22:43.000You know, like, during World War II and World War I, for example, like, the majority of, like, Sub Saharan Africa and a decent part of Asia was, like, okay.
00:22:50.000Like, it doesn't have to be, like, okay.
00:22:58.000And whatever World War III does look like, it's going to look very different from the previous world wars.
00:23:02.000It's just, I'm trying to formulate what a flashpoint.
00:23:06.000Would be that's so enormous that would actually kind of signal to everyone, including all these states that are already in conflict, that this is official.
00:23:14.000Well, I mean, there's what Latvia, Lithuania, and one other country in Slovenia that used to be Soviet states, right?
00:23:24.000They were part of the Soviet Union, I think.
00:23:26.000I mean, if Putin decides, and they're currently NATO member nations now, if Putin decides that he's like, well, you know, the US is busy and Europe is weak because they don't have the militaries that they used to have.
00:23:41.000You know, maybe now's the time to do it.
00:23:43.000I mean, if you're Putin making the calculation that we should bring back the Soviet Union, I mean, like Tim said earlier, you know, this might be the time that he says, okay, look, the U.S. is preoccupied.
00:23:57.000They've spent a lot of, you know, effort and military, you know, weaponry to fight Iran or whatever.
00:24:05.000And so, and look, I don't think that the U.S. is as, the U.S. military stockpile is as depleted as the news reports.
00:24:15.000But I don't know what Putin knows either.
00:24:18.000Yeah, I mean, I doubt that Putin would ever invade Estonia or Latvia anytime soon or any NATO ally.
00:24:27.000I do think that Putin wants to restore a part of the USSR, like, for example, Belarus under Lukashenko, if I'm not mistaken.
00:24:35.000Yeah, they are basically a Russian puppet state.
00:24:38.000When the war started, the most recent war with Ukraine, starting February 24th, I believe, of 2022, he used Belarus to invade from the north, and the Battle of Kyiv sort of.
00:24:51.000So I don't, I think that he wants puppet states and states that are going to be more, you know, subservient to the U.S., not to the U.S., but to Russia's government.
00:25:02.000But I'm not, I'm not, I don't buy the idea that he wants to invade Poland and then he wants to invade Latvia, Estonia.
00:25:15.000I tend, I tend to agree, particularly because, I mean, look, if he had the military might that, It was required to take multiple countries and take on NATO, then he probably wouldn't have such a problem in Ukraine.
00:25:31.000Like, big Russia can't beat little Russia.
00:25:33.000So, how are they going to take on NATO?
00:25:35.000And when the war started, I thought, like, I mean, first, I mean, I'm 19 currently, but when the war started, I thought, like, okay, like, this is crazy.
00:25:42.000Russia's going to, like, swallow them up in, like, 12 days.
00:25:45.000And I never experienced anything like that.
00:25:47.000I've always heard about wars in the Middle East happening from very far away and, you know, Arab people getting bombed and stuff.
00:25:53.000And I've heard about World War II and World War I.
00:25:55.000But I never saw anything like, okay, Russia is invading Ukraine, and you see all of these modern videos and modern warfare happening.
00:26:04.000But to be fair, Russia has underperformed, and that's to say the least.
00:26:08.000And, like, again, Russia getting hit with a bunch of drones from Ukraine, the fact that their refinery sites have been getting damaged, the fact that we see all of these videos in Russia where people are waiting in these super long lines to get gas.
00:26:20.000It's like people internally feel alienated.
00:26:25.000And I'm sure they don't feel great about the current conditions.
00:26:37.000Who'd have thought that we'd see a war that had, you know, trench warfare a la World War I and drones flying around with bombs and robot, you know, literally robotic machine guns?
00:26:55.000The first ever fully robotic assault because they had like motorized machine guns and stuff recently.
00:27:02.000So, yeah, it is crazy to think that you've got a stalemate that is trench warfare where neither side can really move forward and take any significant amount of territory.
00:27:17.000And at the same time, you've got drones and robots fighting on the front.
00:27:33.000And the drone warfare, like, I've seen so much, like, just so much, so many crazy videos online of, like, these drone drop grenades exploding and, like, drones chasing soldiers and the trench warfare that you see.
00:27:45.000It's like, it's so surreal because we're typically used to seeing that sort of stuff in black and white.
00:27:50.000But now we have access to so much surveillance and so much reconnaissance and just videos that we're just able to see how it's really like.
00:28:20.000Oh, you know, I'm going to get my gun, go in the woods.
00:28:22.000And, you know, it, it, it does really make you rethink what, what that actually entails.
00:28:28.000You know, you see, See all the, I mean, you go to the internet and there's a lot of very gory, uh, you know, gory videos that you can, yeah, I mean, you can just see them on X, never mind going to specific telegram channels that are, you know, uncensored or whatever.
00:28:51.000You know, dudes just reminds everyone how mortal they are.
00:28:54.000Like, it's all you're just living in mud.
00:28:57.000I guarantee that even today there are dudes in Ukraine right now with trench foot.
00:29:03.000And if they're not right now, there will be in December because those trenches are going to fill up with water and it's going to be freezing and it's going to suck.
00:29:22.000And the reason why we will probably never see anything like that coming from another country, like domestically, something could arise, of course.
00:29:31.000But I think that's the only thing that could internally cripple America.
00:29:49.000You know, like Canada and Mexico are big trading partners.
00:29:52.000They're never going to do anything to us.
00:29:53.000So the only way something could domestically arise here is, I mean, or like the only way we could have military issues here in America would be something happens internally or a civil war.
00:30:03.000Well, there's an internal conflict in which China then allies with Western states.
00:30:08.000And then that's how they're able to do it.
00:30:09.000Something like that could pop off, right?
00:30:48.000I'm not saying that I don't have a hard time conceiving of these numbers, but like, look, 30,000, 40,000 people when you're dealing with.
00:30:56.00010, 15 million, that's a very, very small amount of 10 to 15 million people that came in.
00:31:02.000It's completely within the realm of possibility to say, oh, look, you know, they got a couple brigades worth of people put into the U.S. and they could wreak havoc, you know, a couple competent cyber attacks and activate some sleeper cells and just everything goes to hell in the U.S., which is one of the issues I think.
00:31:22.000I mean, we're going to get into this also soon, which is one of the issues with illegal immigration and just immigration as a whole.
00:31:28.000When you look at it, you have to have a good vetting system so that you avoid things like that.
00:31:33.000I know a lot of people are talking about how Trump banned immigration basically from Iran.
00:31:38.000And it's like we're actively at war with Iran.
00:31:40.000Allowing people from Iran to come here now would be like the worst possible thing we could do right now when it comes to that.
00:32:05.000If you're here illegally, you got to go.
00:32:08.000The administration, I mean, they're doing more than basically any administration in my lifetime.
00:32:13.000I would like to see them doing more because it's just, it's literally a matter of national security.
00:32:20.000There's plenty of reasons, economic reasons.
00:32:23.000You know, I've heard estimates of housing costs are up 20 to 30 percent because of illegal immigrants.
00:32:30.000There's plenty of jobs that the American people would do or that Americans could get.
00:32:35.000If it wasn't for illegals here, you know, there's a lot of businesses that are taking advantage of people that are here illegally.
00:32:44.000Never mind the H 1B visa thing, it's a totally different story.
00:32:46.000But like just the illegals, like they should be, the government should be doing everything within its power to get them out of the United States.
00:32:56.000And like I said, it's a national security issue as well as the economic issues.
00:33:00.000So anything they can do to make the United States safer, and I believe that getting rid of people that are illegal to leave.
00:33:09.000Anything they can do is a good idea, particularly considering how volatile the world has become in the past, particularly five years or so.
00:33:48.000I just want to touch on that for a second.
00:33:50.000A lot of people talk about how, well, Trump has been doing better, obviously, than Biden was doing when it came to immigration.
00:33:57.000U.S. illegal immigration has been the lowest it's been in 55 years.
00:34:00.000ICE arrests, I believe, in July was like 55,000, if I'm not mistaken.
00:34:04.000And we're going to get more into that.
00:34:06.000But no matter what Trump does in his administration, the reason why he's able to do so much with immigration is because it's under the executive branch.
00:34:13.000But if someone can come in in four years because people are maybe dissatisfied with inflation or whatever, and they can revoke And undo all of that essentially.
00:34:22.000That causes a sort of problem where, yeah, you're voting, but how long are these policies that you're voting for really going to stay in effect?
00:34:32.000Before like an AOC or like a DSA candidate comes in and like messes it completely up.
00:34:38.000So, your point of the democratic system having issues, I agree.
00:34:42.000Because if we did live in an America under Bukele, we would have uniformity of culture, uniformity of ideas, and we wouldn't have to deal with some lunatic coming in in four years and just undoing.
00:35:10.000But yeah, I mean, when you scale it up to the amount of people that we have, including all of these undocumented illegal aliens, that's a more significant problem than one man can probably contend with.
00:35:19.000So, yeah, I mean, I would like to see.
00:35:27.000I'm not a fan of the idea of someone with that much power, but at the same time, I have been on record saying we need another Lincoln to deal with the communists in the United States.
00:35:41.000So maybe some kind of short term thing.
00:35:44.000It might be like a Cincinnati or whatever to rectify the problems that we have right now.
00:35:52.000As much, and I'm a guy that thinks that Donald Trump is the most viable political vehicle.
00:36:01.000Most of the Republicans now are the most viable political vehicle to achieve the results that I'm looking for.
00:36:10.000I'm under no illusions that, you know, like you said, someone else can come in and undo the vast majority of it.
00:36:16.000And particularly considering, you know, the situation, the mess that we're in now, it's not, you can't blame just Joe Biden or blame just, you know, Barack Obama or just George Bush or what have you and be like, well, everything would be better if it wasn't.
00:36:31.000I mean, You can go all the way back to Reagan and say, well, you know, if the amnesty hadn't happened, people might have a different opinion about it and stuff.
00:36:38.000So it's a rat's nest that's been created over decades and multiple administrations.
00:36:47.000So people that look at Donald Trump and they're like, oh, he's not getting it done.
00:36:51.000It's like, well, you think that one guy's going to get it done?
00:36:55.000And one president under the system that we have now, you think one guy's going to get it done?
00:37:08.000I'm glad that they revoked the protection status that the Haitians had because they've been here for over, like, I don't know, 10 years and the hurricane's been, I don't know, going on for so long.
00:37:39.000Selective Service System wants to war game the draft.
00:37:42.000The Readiness Simulation Project comes to the U.S. government about to change its draft registration system.
00:37:47.000Since the 40s, men within 18 to 26 would have to sign up.
00:37:51.000But with the new rule, starting December 19th, 2026, the Selective Service System will work off data contained in other federal databases, notably RealID.
00:38:07.000Questions remain about how prepared the Selective Service System is to handle the change.
00:38:11.000It currently relies on manual analysis, legacy modeling approaches, outdated assumptions, and historical data sets that do not fully reflect modern demographics.
00:38:19.000I believe they are running the simulation because there's a very real possibility of a draft.
00:38:25.000And I think the issue is you are not going to be able to.
00:38:29.000Could you imagine the U.S. government trying to draft gripers over what's going on in Iran right now?
00:38:35.000The ideological split in this country, the various factions, it's not the same as it used to be.
00:39:36.000They would be doing, they would all be, they would all have like EFS and stuff, like polyphytorial syndrome, and they'd be like, no, my knees hurt.
00:40:16.000If they're instituting a draft, it's not actually a bad idea to join and select what you want to do if you're not the kind of person that's like, all right, I want to be in the infantry.
00:41:51.000But yeah, look, I mean, I don't think that there's, I don't think that, that this, I think this particular, you know, war game of the draft is going to produce, Pretty poor results.
00:42:04.000I think there's a lot of people in the United States that are going to be like, hell no.
00:42:07.000And even Poon hasn't gone into a full on draft yet.
00:42:11.000Like, he's been basically, from what I know so far, maybe I can get corrected, but from what I've seen so far, like, one, they're paying the soldiers exceptionally well for Russia in terms of the rupees.
00:42:22.000Like, they're paying them exceptionally well, although a lot of them are like cannon fodder.
00:42:27.000They are like human meat, basically, just being sent there to the meat grinder.
00:42:31.000And, you know, they get some sort of like, you know, federal and local benefits from the government, but they, they, Do get paid a considerable amount for Russian standards to do it.
00:42:40.000So they haven't really gone into a full on draft yet, from what I've seen.
00:43:55.000So I think you have to, otherwise, you're not being an election.
00:43:57.000China storms the beaches of California, aided by communists, insurgent forces.
00:44:01.000Let's just say that with 30% of the Democratic Party being DSA, you get a series of government officials that not on their own could they cause a coup, but they start effectively pulling the linchpin from the system because they have enough control.
00:44:53.000I'm saying, if you're saying you want to end the cycle of violence, my question is let's say China sweeps through the country, they win, the entire planet is under the CCP, all countries, all nations, and there's no more war.
00:45:06.000Well, I mean, you've talked about the human propensity toward war is undeniable.
00:45:12.000Even if China takes over, there's still going to be a warring faction within the Communist Party of the China that's allegedly taken over the world.
00:45:18.000So there is no stopping the cycle of violence.
00:45:20.000It's just, it takes, it's part of the.
00:45:21.000One person, one person can play their role.
00:45:24.000And choosing to opt out of participating in the endless cycle of violence.
00:45:28.000And if one person does that, then I really believe that it could ripple out and impact people in a very meaningful way.
00:46:05.000I believe that is correct because you can also argue that you live out in the woods by yourself and you grew a watermelon for your friend and then a cougar shows up and mauls you to death because the cycle of violence exists outside of humanity as well.
00:46:17.000Well, I'm confining what I'm discussing to the human propensity toward violence and how humans can actually choose to opt out of that if they want to.
00:46:40.000I mean, you can go through every human species if you believe in evolution.
00:46:44.000They're just like, again, talking about the Homo sapiens here for a second.
00:46:46.000We have never had a time period in which one person was able to get even the majority or half or even a third of the world to just chill out on war.
00:47:45.000Would you disagree if people stop fighting, Satan wins?
00:47:49.000Well, I mean, okay, so you're talking about people that basically adhere to this deranged idea of peace, this radical peace that I'm talking about.
00:47:57.000If it's not animated by the spirit of Christ, then you are just basically sacrificing yourself for nothing.
00:48:02.000But it's my belief that true belief in Christ and adherence to his teachings. Can actually change hearts and minds in a more radical way than war can.
00:48:10.000Would so, so let's say again, I mean, everybody agrees with you and they all say, Oh, okay, wow, this is this is the way to do it.
00:48:20.000Will there be at least one individual who doesn't agree, who or who is possessed, or who is demonically inspired, or obsessed, or possessed, or would Satan himself just be like, They won't fight anymore.
00:48:31.000I've won, and he comes and takes over.
00:48:33.000Well, in all likelihood, it's not just going to be one, it's going to be the majority.
00:48:35.000I mean, the Christians are going to be outnumbered ultimately.
00:48:38.000But just because Jesus was outnumbered and his apostles were outnumbered didn't mean that they weren't able to transform the world.
00:49:00.000So even if the good people believe a demon can possess a person to do evil, if people are unwilling to fight back, it takes but a single individual who is obsessed, possessed, obsessed or possessed.
00:49:12.000To then wage violence against those who will not defend themselves and Satan wins.
00:49:17.000But that's happened historically, century after century, and Christians have not gone anywhere.
00:49:57.000Syria and Lebanon and even modern day Israel was once mostly Christian.
00:50:02.000What happened was there was the Muslim conquest in the seventh century and the Muslims were able to, and you know, you can even enter the Crusades for this.
00:50:09.000They were able to essentially defeat the Christians and now they have dominion over the Christians.
00:50:14.000And now we have a bunch of Islamic terrorist organizations that are killing Christians in Nigeria, about like 50,000 over the last like decade.
00:50:20.000And we have the subjugation and discrimination against Christians in Egypt, the Coptic Christians.
00:50:25.000And So, I mean, our most prosperous, largest city is now being led by a foreign born Muslim man.
00:50:35.000That says, a nation founded, a land conquered, a nation founded by Christians now has a growing leadership, and not just in New York, it's actually other places.
00:50:46.000You can look at Dearborn, Michigan, of Islam coming in.
00:51:15.000And not to mention, there was almost an incursion really into more of Western Europe entering France until, I believe, Al Ghafiqi was defeated by Charles Martel, who was a French politician and military officer, who really stopped the sort of Islamic invasion into Spain.
00:51:30.000And that's why the Muslims didn't go further.
00:51:33.000I think Christians and anyone who does not want to be Islamified definitely need to fight.
00:51:39.000And I think this is why America is the home of the brave Americans are willing to fight for their freedom.
00:51:43.000Americans have been willing to fight for their freedom ever since Thomas Paine told them that we have to fight against the British monarchy and we have to obtain freedom and liberty.
00:52:16.000I mean, we live in the 21st century, and there are a lot fewer communist or especially orthodox communist states than there used to be, only because people figured out this ideology sucks.
00:52:27.000I mean, it does lose and lose and lose, and it's been shown to be so unsuccessful and so unproductive that.
00:52:38.000It's had to, you know, basically morph into something different.
00:52:42.000It used to be the vulgar Marxism where it was the proletariat versus the bourgeoisie.
00:52:47.000And now it's changed into a lot of race based stuff because of people like Herbert Marcuse, Adorno, and Frankfurt School.
00:52:54.000Yeah, the Frankfurt School is cool, guys.
00:52:55.000I want to jump to this story from the post millennial.
00:52:58.000Extremist group AI Collective builds digital infrastructure support, Portland Antifa cell, Jane's Revenge.
00:53:04.000We have a, this is a very, very serious story, my friends.
00:53:07.000The State Department has designated Austi, what is this, Autisticy.
00:53:12.000Autisticci, inventati as a specially designated global terrorist.
00:53:19.000Today, the Department of State, in partnership with the Department of Treasury, is announcing the designation of AI as a specially designated global terrorist.
00:53:25.000It's an Italy based extremist group that builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent anti facels and other far left militants across the world.
00:53:32.000AI's cadre of radical hackers and tech developers provide a full spectrum of services, including encrypted chats and emails, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools to Marxist, anarchist, and other left wing extremist groups in the United States.
00:53:55.000And if they have now designated this organization in Italy as a foreign terrorist, and this organization is working with U.S. activists, those activists are now directly aiding and abetting terrorists.
00:54:06.000And this is a very strange thing to say, but I believe that Brian Krasenstein needs to be criminally charged immediately.
00:54:15.000I am not suggesting he spend 50 years in prison, but the United States government needs to send a message if you advocate the funding.
00:54:24.000Of foreign terror groups, there is a penalty.
00:54:28.000Following the announcement from Secretary Marco Rubio 10 hours ago about this group, Brian Krasenstein wrote, Please donate to the Ostatici, is that how you say it?
00:54:39.000Autistic Inventati, independent volunteer run internet service collective.
00:54:45.000They stand for anti racism, anti fascism, anti sexism, anti militarism, and opposition to authoritarianism and hierarchies.
00:54:56.000That is leveling attacks against the United States, whether or not they were designated terrorists.
00:55:02.000And he has posted their donation link with a note beneath it that they are a specially designated global terrorist by the U.S. State Department as of the day he posted this.
00:56:54.000If there is no confidence the government will do anything, then people will do whatever they want.
00:57:00.000To put it simply, we know about blue laws.
00:57:03.000We know there are laws in the books in basically every jurisdiction that no one would dare uphold.
00:57:07.000The example I'd like to give in West Virginia is that cohabitation out of marriage is a crime in West Virginia, and no cop would ever try to enforce it.
00:57:55.000So that means he posted this after the designation was already made.
00:58:00.000Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it, especially when it's this severe.
00:58:04.000I mean, like, he thought that he was going to dunk on Marco Rubio and all, oh, look at blah, blah, blah.
00:58:10.000Well, you know, I mean, you specifically.
00:58:13.000Replied to Margot Rubio's announcing the designation and said, Oh, you people should go and donate.
00:58:20.000And then he himself posted that he donated.
00:58:23.000Well, to your point earlier about it, like how Marxist thought transforms and appears under a different cloak anti racism, anti fascism, anti sexism, anti Muslim.
00:58:34.000I mean, like he totally is captivated by that ideology in its new form.
00:58:39.000I mean, I'm not so sure that he himself believes.
00:58:45.000Or he himself considers himself a Marxist.
00:58:47.000He probably is more like, you know, the shit lib kind of dude who's just like, you know, yeah, he's like, it's like, well, you know, all these things are bad and Trump is bad.
00:58:58.000So we should do whatever we can to push back against Trump.
00:59:01.000And it's like, really, should you support organizations that, you know, shoot at ICE agents?
00:59:07.000You know, when they have, you know, because Antifa were a bunch, like nine Antifa members were just found guilty.
00:59:16.000Of basically assaulting an ICE facility and shooting at police officers or law enforcement.
01:00:53.000I think what Tim said makes total sense.
01:00:55.000You have to set a precedent for stuff like this.
01:00:57.000Like when people are able to go on X, a social media platform, and post a donation link for a specially designated terrorist organization, that is when the DOJ needs to step up.
01:01:31.000I think a lot of people sort of forget sometimes that America is a real country and we need to treat America like it's a real functioning country with a government.
01:01:39.000Because when people, like in no other country, do you hear of something like this, right?
01:01:43.000Where people are, you know, insulting the Secretary of State and saying, yeah, I'm going to post this link to a specially designated terrorist organization that you just designated a terrorist organization.
01:01:53.000And, you know, na na na boo boo, this is what we do.
01:02:08.000Look, you can have whatever opinion you want legally, but if you're going to aid and abet terrorist organizations, if you're going to donate money to them, you are committing a criminal act and the government.
01:02:28.000And especially, particularly because he's doing it in response to.
01:02:34.000To the federal government designating them a terrorist organization.
01:02:39.000Look, if you donated yesterday and they had not been designated, then okay, you slipped one by the goalie, right?
01:02:48.000And the government shouldn't do anything.
01:02:51.000Every single person that saw that tweet and was like, oh, look at it, I'm an Antifa too.
01:02:56.000I'm going to give those guys some money.
01:02:59.000Every single donation, the government should look at it.
01:03:02.000And by the way, I'm sure there are people that are probably still donating as we speak because some people really just don't care.
01:03:06.000Some people are just that radical and.
01:03:09.000Just so against law and order that they don't care.
01:03:12.000They don't care what the federal government has to say, and they don't think anything will ever happen because things do happen, but people get used to nothing ever really happening, or at least accountability never really being enforced.
01:03:25.000To be honest with you, we're talking about that attack in Texas.
01:03:30.000I think that the Trump administration actually, I don't know that they're going to wrap up Brian, but I do think that the Trump administration is going to go after people that donate because.
01:03:39.000Look, they didn't designate them a terrorist organization for nothing.
01:03:44.000And this is a group specifically doing hacker based stuff, emails, communications, which means they're trying.
01:03:51.000This is, in the United States, it's a very, very common activist thing.
01:03:54.000It's not providing these services, it's rudimentary.
01:04:20.000It's something that, you know, like for a long time, I introduced myself on this show when we're doing intros.
01:04:26.000I introduced myself as an anti communist and a counter revolutionary.
01:04:30.000Anything we can do to throw sand in the gears of the left and their attempts to literally destroy the governing structure of the United States because they've clearly said they want to get rid of the Constitution.
01:04:46.000When you hear them say that I want to get rid of the Senate, you have to take them serious.
01:04:51.000Not only take them serious, but you have to get rid of the Constitution into power.
01:04:54.000We don't need to bring up the Senate because they literally said they want to get rid of the Constitution itself.
01:04:58.000The guy, the DSA guy on TV said, we want to eliminate the Constitution and the U.S. rule of government for a parliamentary system.
01:05:41.000James Fishpack just got crushed by Byron Donald in Florida.
01:05:45.000Casey Push ran against Vivek Ramaswamy for the Republican primary, for example, in Ohio.
01:05:50.000He got absolutely crushed and didn't win a single district.
01:05:52.000There has been no far right Tucker endorsed or Nick Fuentes endorsed candidate that has won any.
01:06:01.000Any election in this country and that has become a member of the Republican Party.
01:06:05.000But the DSA are winning and they boast about winning.
01:06:09.000You have Mom Dhani, for example, who, again, Ugandan born, Muslim, with Indian ancestry, who is against America, who, by the way, speaking of supporting foreign terrorist organizations, there were five Palestinian American men in 2007 that were convicted of aiding Hamas, materially speaking.
01:06:31.000And they spent like $12 million doing so.
01:06:34.000I believe they were called the Holy Land Five, and they set up like a fake charity organization and stuff like that.
01:06:38.000Mom Dhani said he supported the Holy Land Five.
01:06:40.000Like, he's openly has said this before.
01:06:42.000Yeah, he took a picture with a guy named Wahaj, I believe.
01:06:46.000I forget his exact name, but there was a, he's a Muslim imam in New York City who was an unindicted, not indicted, an unindicted co conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
01:06:58.000And what makes it even more insane is the fact that that same guy that Mom Dhani took a picture with, and by the way, he never retracted any of this, was the same guy who stood as a defense witness to the guy who was actually convicted.
01:07:08.000For masterminding, for being the mastermind behind the attack.
01:07:11.000And so the DSA is, although people say, well, they're not as powerful as people are claiming they are.
01:07:21.000Mamdani is the mayor of New York City, and he is the mayor of the largest city in the country and the most, one of the most important, if not the most important city in the country, is a product of the DSA.
01:07:32.000It's not like you're dealing with Groypers who just, I don't know, are overweight, they're living in their mom's basement, and they're just like posting memes on X.
01:07:39.000No, these people, Are building institutions.
01:07:41.000The Council of American Islamic Relations was the largest institutional funder for Momdani's mayoral race in his campaign.
01:07:52.000So that's who we need to worry about the far left, because they do things, they act, they're actors.
01:07:57.000The narrative has been that we have to worry about the far right and the Republicans are actually fascists and what have you.
01:08:04.000Whereas in reality, the Republicans have been kicking Nick Fuentes out of.
01:08:11.000Basically, every single function that they had for the better part of a decade.
01:08:17.000Anytime the Republicans have kicked out Congress people that have said things that were a little bit, you know, beyond the pale or that were, you know, would lead someone to think maybe they might be a racist or something, the Republicans police their ranks very, very well.
01:08:37.000And they have done it for a long time.
01:09:05.000So because of that, they have basically cover to infiltrate.
01:09:11.000But it doesn't change the fact that at the end of the day, they're revolutionaries and they're not looking, they're not the Fabians.
01:09:19.000While they would take that course if they can, there are plenty of people that.
01:09:25.000Once they get enough political power, they'll be like, all right, we don't have to worry about whether or not we get the votes anymore because we got some guns, right?
01:10:51.000But the fact that Trump has like very strong endorsement power and the fact that the Republican Party sort of unifies around him is a very good thing because it's not like the Democratic Party.
01:11:03.000Party where, like, Gavin Newsom is like pulling at like 20% or something.
01:11:06.000We don't know who may even, who would be the nominee in 2028.
01:11:11.000We don't have any of this information because, again, it's so decentralized.
01:11:16.000The DSA, like, they're scared to call out Hassan Piker.
01:11:18.000They have to, like, you know, have these secret meetings and do whatever to try to see if they want to call him out because they have people like Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, Ramam Dhani, Rashida Tlaib, ALC.
01:11:28.000They have so many of these different people and they have actually some power.
01:11:33.000There's no authority when it comes to the Democratic Party.
01:11:36.000And having A party like that is a lot worse than people saying, well, MAG is a cult because people actually have a leader that they can follow and rally upon.
01:11:45.000Although there may be dissidents in the Republican Party, we've seen them.
01:11:48.000Thomas Massey, for example, is a great example of that.
01:11:53.000People that want to be on the more radical end of the Republican Party get thrown out if they show that this is who they are.
01:11:59.000With the Democratic Party, it's decentralized, and you can be a Marxist, you can be a communist, you can be a socialist or a democratic socialist.
01:12:27.000I do think that there will be a coalescing in the future of the Democrat party and it's going to be a far more left leaning party than it has been historically.
01:12:40.000Just because that's the way the winds are blowing.
01:12:42.000You know, people that want to remain in power, like they're going to say, okay.
01:12:47.000So, I guess we're the pro Palestinian movement party.
01:13:54.000What would actually, you know, when the rubber meets the road, I don't know what they would actually do, whether they would be like, all right, we got to go ahead and expropriate our billionaires as well.
01:14:04.000But the idea that, oh, you know, we can't allow people to become billionaires and we need to, you know, we need to take their property until they're not a billionaire anymore.
01:14:14.000I mean, I don't know how you do that and still expect to have a functioning society.
01:14:19.000Because, look, how dare you be successful and wealthy and disproportionately contribute to American society?
01:15:32.000Maybe because maybe I have a Like a property or two, and your property and your assets, for example, appreciate over time, and you can become a millionaire that way.
01:15:38.000It doesn't mean you have a million dollars in the bank.
01:15:39.000But why should someone be able to have $10 million?
01:15:42.000Like, because the response to someone saying, well, billionaires probably should exist is that, well, what does someone need a billion dollars for?
01:15:49.000And I mean, typically they actually think that billionaires are like Scrooge McDuck.
01:15:53.000They have like a bunch of money hidden somewhere and they can just float in their money.
01:16:15.000And one point I'd like to bring up because I think more people should know it is do you know what the average salary of a millionaire is in the United States?
01:17:19.000So people getting to that level of asset control.
01:17:23.000What is happening is with hyperinflation, and we see this with these socialist policies, they're going to say, who needs to be a billionaire?
01:17:29.000Sure, in 100 years, when a billion dollars a year is the average salary, no one will be allowed to be a billionaire.
01:18:31.000But I mean, remember Donald Trump, Tulsi Yabbard, RFK, you know, there are so many people that came, that used to be Democrats that have come to the, you know, whatever the, what is considered today to be the right, even though they're not particularly far right.
01:18:49.000They're Classified as far right by the left, but that's only because of the left's perspective.
01:18:54.000You know, maybe there are going to be a lot more people that are going to be like, well, I guess if I want to be a centrist, I have to be a Republican or at least not a Democrat.
01:19:01.000Let's jump into this story from the International Business Times.
01:19:04.000Completely unfounded Texas Roadhouse response to viral allegations of a racist Facebook group and food tampering story.
01:19:11.000So here's the story Somebody posted a screenshot of a woman saying that 400,000 white people are spitting on your food if you're black at Texas Roadhouse in Logan.
01:19:21.000Logan's Roadhouse, completely fake, no evidence.
01:22:12.000We need to be able to look at screenshots, look at people saying things and say, okay, what's your evidence for this claim?
01:22:17.000Because if you have an egregious claim that can smear a company or a restaurant business.
01:22:24.000That can defame, that can lose the money and revenue and profit, that can really attack them and hurt them, at the very least, have evidence for what would yield such an attack.
01:22:38.000So, and I have to give praise to all of the black people that started going to Texas Roadhouse and filming themselves, just having a great time.
01:22:57.000They'd be like, You're a coon, you're a coon, you know, how dare you go there and eat there when they don't want us there and stuff like that.
01:23:04.000And it's like, Come on, you know, I'm actually going to go to Texas Roadhouse as soon as possible, maybe on Friday or something, just because this whole scandal is going on now.
01:23:14.000Like, have a random Facebook screenshot really got a bunch of people going on Texas Roadhouse?
01:25:15.000So even if you do sue him, One, you're not going to really make any money from it.
01:25:19.000And two, the damage has already sort of been done.
01:25:23.000This disinformation has permeated and has disseminated all across social media.
01:25:29.000And you obviously have the white saviors coming out, and they're going to make their videos.
01:25:33.000They're going to be a soy boy about it.
01:25:35.000And they're going to say, oh my God, I can't believe Texas Roadhouse has been used as a weapon of white supremacy or whatever buzzword they're going to come up with now.
01:25:45.000It's a very unfortunate thing to see because the truth is that.
01:25:48.000I'm not going to say the average person.
01:25:50.000A lot of people, I don't know how to quantify this, but a lot of people are really just not that smart.
01:25:54.000I mean, I could never, ever just hear a random rumor that was posted by a random Facebook account with a screenshot that someone starts like just permeating online and just use that as my basis to judge a restaurant, especially when there's no evidence.
01:26:39.000So we're in multiple restaurants and particularly the people that are doing the spitting, apparently.
01:26:48.000But yeah, it's just, we were talking before the show a little bit, and really what happens on social media, like people obviously don't check.
01:28:46.000So when I see an image, and I tweeted this, and it says, This is insane because they're like, Dick Sporting Goods is now taking down Good Good merchandise.
01:28:54.000For all I know, some random person walked in, took those hats off, took a picture, said it's happening.
01:29:13.000And just to add to your point, listen.
01:29:17.000When you're neutral towards somebody, like even if you don't really know anybody and someone makes a crazy claim about them, you typically ask, like, okay, what's your evidence?
01:29:24.000Like, what's the proof that this person did this thing or whatever?
01:29:28.000If you know somebody and you're connected to them and you're a friend of them, then typically what you get is like you trust them more, you're typically on their side more, and you really have to see the evidence before you go on with it.
01:29:41.000The fact that so many people, before seeing any credible evidence or really looking at any sources or anything, have Already taken to defame, to attack, to smear, to boycott Texas Roadhouse.
01:29:57.000That tells you that it is what you said.
01:30:07.000It's not about the fact that this is real for them.
01:30:11.000They want information like this or disinformation like this to be out there just so they can have that opportunity to smear and attack white people.
01:30:20.000And Texas Roadhouse, and just to be a victim because there's like in leftist politics, there's always this sort of affinity, this sort of strive towards victim mentality.
01:31:16.000Like the reason why I am not on the left and the reason why I'm a conservative above everything else, above being a Republican or above, you know, Trump, above everything.
01:31:25.000Is because I want to be principled and disciplined, and I also want to have sovereignty and autonomy.
01:31:30.000I don't want leftists telling me I can't get an ID because I'm black.
01:31:33.000I don't want leftists telling me that cops are out to get me.
01:31:37.000I don't want to live in a perpetual victimhood mentality where it seems like white people are always oppressing me.
01:31:43.000I don't want to live in that type of mindset.
01:32:13.000And you teach basically, it got to the schools of education.
01:32:17.000So the schools that teach teachers in the early 90s or the late 80s, early 90s.
01:32:22.000And then it started to become, you know, The standard way of looking at the world for basically all the teachers, most teachers in America, you teach kids to see the world from an oppressor and oppressed narrative everywhere, by the way.
01:32:39.000Whether it be racially or whether it be economically or what have you, there's always some way that you can characterize a dynamic as there is someone that has more power and someone that has less power.
01:32:56.000The far left, this is why the horseshoe theory works so well.
01:32:59.000The far right and the far left sort of believe in the same thing in that sense, in which the far left view everything from the oppressor, oppressed sort of standpoint, in which, you know, Palestine over Israel because Palestine is brown and they're supposedly the indigenous people.
01:34:00.000It's like, well, it's the Jews and the whites.
01:34:02.000And to be fair, they don't make a distinction between the Jews and the whites.
01:34:04.000So they're on the same sort of point there.
01:34:07.000Which is why when Lindsey Graham died, and I know people may have disagreeing opinions on Lindsey Graham, but.
01:34:16.000Again, you had Shank Weger, Anna Kasparian, Nick Fuentes all tweet basically, Hannah Sowens all tweet basically the same thing.
01:34:24.000You know, it's not even just about, hey, you don't have to issue, you know, you don't have to tell everyone that you're mourning him or that you're upset that he died, but it's the fact that, you know, you're going around saying good riddance.
01:34:34.000Anna Kasparian posted it the day that he died, and Nick Fuentes also posted it the day that he died.
01:34:58.000And to be honest with you, the policies that they endorse, like, they're very similar.
01:35:02.000About the only difference between, like, the Groypers and the far left is, like, the Groypers are like, well, it's just for white people or just for Americans that are from America.
01:35:11.000Whereas the left is like, no, we can let everybody in and give them all the same stuff, right?
01:35:16.000And actually, we need to actually defend.
01:35:28.000People on the right have, again, like I said earlier, the people on the right have been very diligent about saying these ideas are not allowed in the big tent.
01:35:41.000So the MAGA people are generally pretty big tent.
01:35:45.000They were reaching out to a lot of different people with different political perspectives and stuff.
01:35:50.000But the far right, They've been like, no, we don't accept this kind of, you know, race based, you know, political identity politics stuff.
01:37:34.000But even if you were to give the devil his due, like Jordan Peterson likes to say, and take the arguments that the left makes at face value, they break down so quickly.
01:37:47.000The idea that only one group of people can be racist, only white people.
01:38:06.000It's like, which one, which racist are you using?
01:38:08.000Are you talking about power and privilege, or are you talking about bigotry or whatever?
01:38:13.000And that kind of, you know, has had for a long time kept people that were arguing against them on the back foot because they didn't understand the sleight of hand or weren't prepared for the sleight of hand.
01:38:25.000Because people that have a, and when I say this, I mean like liberal in the classical liberal sense, if you're not, you know, Terribly offended.
01:38:36.000Yeah, because liberal doesn't really mean anything anymore.
01:38:37.000Because, like, a lot of people that are really communists identify as liberal.
01:38:40.000A lot of leftist, like, liberal progressives is now a thing now.
01:38:43.000Yeah, I call them, you know, either shit libs or progressives, you know.
01:38:48.000And whereas I don't consider, you know, I don't consider conservatives to be actually liberals in the American sense.
01:38:58.000The idea of, like, hey, we can actually agree on terminology and have a discussion, that's something that you're only going to get.
01:39:08.000In the center and to the right nowadays.
01:39:11.000You're not going to get that from the left.
01:39:13.000You're going to get, again, the sleight of hand, the kind of dancing around meanings and changing meanings so that way they can essentially, basically, just to win the argument.
01:39:28.000People in the center, most people that would engage in political conversations nowadays are aware that the terms, the meaning of the terms change.
01:39:40.000Depending on what is functional for that particular interaction, we share a dictionary.
01:39:47.000We have the same lexicon, but we don't have the same dictionary.
01:39:51.000We'll use the same words, but the meanings aren't the same from the left, particularly the far left and the center and right nowadays.
01:40:04.000So it's like, and what they don't realize because the left is not really made up of intelligent people, like, their composition is not made up of the brightest.
01:40:12.000Because they always seem to like have a five year old understanding of everything.
01:40:15.000It's like billionaires shouldn't exist.
01:40:16.000It's like, or like Medicare for all billionaires shouldn't exist.
01:40:20.000It's like, that's the answer that you get from a five year old when you ask them what they would do when they would be, if they were president.
01:41:20.000The cones for, I think, red and green begin to overlap.
01:41:24.000So in your eye, those colors basically are molded together.
01:41:28.000There are these glasses you can buy, they're really cool, and they cut out a piece of the spectrum.
01:41:32.000So instead of overlapping, now it splits out the middle and it actually creates a distinction so colorblind people can see.
01:41:39.000For women, they have two X chromosomes.
01:41:41.000If they have a mutation on only one of those chromosomes, they have a fourth rod and cone, or it might just be a cone, I'm not sure, which allows them to see hundreds of times more colors than anyone else.
01:42:15.000I think of the movie Mask, where the guy that had the disfigured face took a girl into the room and he put a rock in her hand or a boiling potato.
01:42:25.000It took a potato out of the boiling water and put it in her hand.
01:48:04.000And then one day I was like, Wow, I can almost see something in my mind when I learn and I understand this.
01:48:11.000And they tell me, No, no, you're wrong.
01:48:13.000And I told, I was talking to Brian Shapiro, and I said, Brian, Just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not real.
01:48:21.000And just because you can't comprehend it doesn't mean it's not real either.
01:48:23.000Because, like, there's a lot of things that cats can't comprehend and dogs can't comprehend, and any sort of like mammal, anything that would fall under like a mammalian species or anything that would even be like a reptile, they can't comprehend certain things.
01:49:20.000We're not the most intelligent thing that could possibly probably exist.
01:49:23.000And so we're also limited in comprehension.
01:49:26.000But the point that I was going to make was that.
01:49:28.000Well, leftists love mischaracterizing things and they don't understand how it actually harms them.
01:49:32.000Like, if you call everyone a fascist, if Matt Nuclear is a fascist and Trump is a fascist and Tim Poole's a fascist and Candace, like everyone's a fascist, well, then that term loses that sort of scary meaning, which is what you're using it for.
01:49:44.000They use fascists not because they understand it, but because of the scary or, you know, the scary fear mongering connotation associated with it.
01:49:55.000Just my final point on perception I think there are religious folk who can sense the presence of God.
01:50:03.000And you just have this feeling, you know, it's just like in my mind, I can almost see something.
01:50:07.000And then I think there are people who can't, but are faithful and they just trust and they read and they learn and they say there must be.
01:50:15.000And then there are atheists who don't have attachment to the knowledge that humanity has passed down for thousands of years.
01:50:22.000And so they just say, if I can't see it, you can't either.
01:50:26.000And that's what I was saying to Brian.
01:50:28.000I was like, if you're colorblind and you can't see colors, no one could describe it to you.
01:50:32.000And if you know that there are people who can't perceive reality the same way you can, You have to recognize some people probably can perceive God and you can't.
01:51:51.000Clear as the sky is blue, there is a God.
01:51:57.000And that's when we go to these liberals and you can't explain economics and you can't explain anything about Trump, it gets so rudimentary that you could say something like Trump's not a fascist, but they don't know what the word means.
01:52:15.000They're not capable, and that's not their goal because their goal is to use the term that everyone knows to have a negative or a fear mongering connotation to it or something that's associated with it in order to defame and smear and attack people.
01:52:28.000And it's actually not really been going too well for them because now that everyone is a fascist, the term has lost its scary meaning.
01:52:37.000You know, if there's this very scary term that no one wants to use because it's really insulting towards a person, it really defames their character, really attacks their reputation.
01:52:46.000And it gets used occasionally and very selectively, then everyone is like, whoa, you call that person a fascist or whatever word I could make up.
01:52:54.000But if you take that word and everyone has it, well, then that word has lost its value.
01:52:59.000It's the same way that everyone wants what they can't get.
01:53:03.000And if everyone has, like, I don't know, like let's say an iPhone 35 comes out, okay?
01:53:07.000If everyone has an iPhone 35, well, then you're not the cool kid for having it.
01:53:30.000Our Timcast Discord members get to call in and talk to us and our guest.
01:53:35.000General T45K says if Russia were to launch a single nuke, America should, I would, use that event as our excuse to finally do what needs to be done.
01:55:58.000If they came to his house and arrested him, arraigned him, and then he had a court date a month later, and they said, you got to pay $250 and you're going to get six months of supervision.
01:56:06.000If you don't commit any crimes for six months, it'll drop off your record.
01:57:31.000And this is not one that I stopped to actually go through, but I saw a paragraph and it was like, it said Christian group believes there's only 750,000 and sold people.
01:57:39.000And then I was like, oh, that's interesting.
01:57:41.000And, you know, do you know how many famous people there are in the world?
01:59:36.000In the United States, there was a letter written, it might have been Adams, I'm not sure, said 30% wants revolution, 30% does not, and 30% does not care.
01:59:47.000The actual estimates are unknown, but it's believed that around 40% wanted independence, about 20 some odd percent, I believe, actually, I could be wrong.
01:59:59.000No, I think it was, I think I'm getting it wrong.
02:00:51.000The DSA, and it's always done by the intellectuals that sort of gear on all the slave class that ends up doing the revolution sort of for them.
02:03:10.000And I have a lot to talk about in this regard as to what I think is going to happen.
02:03:16.000It was like almost a two hour conversation where we talk about the potentials of AI, and this guy's very much an expert, and he breaks down what they're doing.
02:09:14.000Well, humans are built through molecular construction.
02:09:17.000There is a process by which humans grow as the molecules come together and then RNA and DNA do their thing, connecting and building cells and creating us.
02:09:27.000He said the AI will eventually be able.
02:09:30.000To replicate a more efficient form of molecular construction, at which point humans are immortal.
02:09:37.000Not only would humans be immortal, you could become anything you wanted.
02:09:43.000The AI, when properly tuned, will just be able to do these things.
02:09:47.000Yeah, I mean, right now, you were talking about it actually on this podcast.
02:09:52.000I forget what the name of the machine is the whatever lithograph machine that makes computer chips.
02:11:28.000So, the reason I bring that up is that my prediction on the AI filmmaking stuff, I was like, man, in like two or three years, and it's literally right now.
02:15:38.000Look at that video compared to the stuff that we have now.
02:15:43.000And we saw what Sora AI was doing, and there were.
02:15:46.000Ton of great memes that came out of that as well.
02:15:48.000But like modern day AI images, especially with things like Gemini, are just the images, not even the videos, but the videos are really good also.
02:15:58.000But the images are practically indistinguishable from real life.
02:16:02.000It's like they look better and more realistic than real life.
02:16:06.000That's how you know kind of that it's AI.
02:17:15.000Every 80 year old is going to look like they're 30 because they're going to go in and they're going to be like, They're like, oh, yeah, you're having, your skin is getting more easily tearing and bruising.
02:17:24.000We're going to give you this treatment for bruising and tearing.
02:18:03.000Your heart, we're going to reset your heart so your heart's working properly.
02:18:06.000It's not that they're going to go and be like, We're going to deage you.
02:18:08.000It's just you will look like you're 35 because you're getting treated for all of these things.
02:18:14.000When your skin starts sagging and you're like, Yeah, they're going to be like, We're going to give you a collagen treatment, it's going to fix this.
02:18:20.000The one thing that'll be interesting is that our nose and ears, our ears and noses keep growing.
02:18:25.000So they're going to have to do something about that because we'll be like 200 with Dumbo ears or something.
02:18:31.000And that's how you'll know if someone's old.
02:18:33.000He'll be 27, but he'll have massive ears.
02:19:43.000I do know that the CDU is the conservative party there, the Christian Democratic Union, if that's what they stand for.
02:19:49.000I know there are the Social Democrats, and I know that there's obviously the AFD.
02:19:53.000I would say that from what I know about the AFD, if the AFD wins, obviously that would mean that Germany would be a lot more pro Russia because the AFD seems to be very sympathetic or more sympathetic towards Russia than, for example, the CDU or any more leftist party.
02:20:09.000So I would give that my commentary on that.
02:20:55.000So they are going to be more pro Russia generally, as far as I can see it as well.
02:21:01.000I think they might cause a stir, a big stir, because in Germany they have this firewall thing where parties cannot align with far right parties there.
02:21:11.000So, I mean, they classify them as far right.
02:21:14.000I don't know what that means in Europe anymore.
02:22:03.000So given the fact that, I mean, I would say that the AFD is probably more like isolationist, we also have like sort of like an America first movement in America, which sees itself more isolationist.
02:22:13.000And the reason why like countries like Russia and other countries like China are in favor of those movements is because that makes.
02:22:20.000America, or in this example, it would make Germany a country that would not be necessarily a geopolitical actor to a great extent.
02:22:27.000And so that would be very beneficial towards Russia because Germany has been a significant funder, not like the majority of the funding has come from Germany, but a significant amount of the money that Ukraine has received and arms and intelligence and stuff like that has come from Germany.
02:22:39.000And so if that gets cut off, well, they have less access to weapons and money, obviously, than they would have, and presumably probably just a more cooperative government.
02:22:49.000And I don't think that would necessarily lead to Russia taking over.
02:22:52.000Ukraine entirely because Russia would probably still have military and monetary backing from both America, Great Britain, France, and just other countries in Europe like Denmark and Norway, and well, not Norway, probably very much, but you get what I mean.
02:23:05.000But I think it would be very beneficial for Russia, and Russia would see that as a great step towards their geopolitical goals.
02:23:44.000But, well, that's the only news you can get from Russia.
02:23:48.000But the thing is, basically, as far as I heard, it's a problem with Armenia that Russia's having right now.
02:23:56.000That's kind of one thing that Armenia is trying to join the EU.
02:23:59.000So that's an interesting thing to keep in mind here.
02:24:03.000And I would like to add a few things related to Russia and what's happening in the minds of Russians, as far as I can see it as well.
02:24:11.000One thing that people, I think, missed that's kind of important in 2019, Petro Poroshenko has basically appealed to the ecumenical patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople for the Thomas of Autocephaly.
02:24:28.000And thereby they formed a new Orthodox Church in Ukraine.
02:25:45.000And a big part of the reason is because Russia would have, should there be some kind of conflict, they would make a great kind of barrier for Russia to have to get through if they didn't control the island.
02:25:55.000So there's a bunch of political back and forth.
02:25:58.000Russia took them, I believe, after World War II, but I'm not sure.
02:26:04.000I read about them a couple days ago, but you can actually go on to Google Earth and people are fighting in the comments as to who owns them.
02:26:46.000In any case, that's basically it from what I wanted to ask.
02:26:51.000I just want to point out one thing to Tim.
02:26:53.000Tim, I remember you mentioned a journalism professor that told you that you are way ahead of the curve on stuff, generally speaking.
02:27:01.000I urge you to keep that in mind these days.
02:27:04.000When you're talking about these wars, I very often hear your mind spinning off in different directions, and very often you can miss small details.
02:27:53.000So, about the draft, instead of drafting U.S. citizens for World War III, should we instead draft illegals, H 1B visa holders, arrested anti feminine members, including people who donate to them, and refugees?
02:28:07.000See, I think that would be a great idea if they would actually fight against the enemy, but I feel like they would revolt or they would probably be an asset of the enemy.
02:28:41.000I've seen one with like Korea, but I don't think I've seen that one.
02:28:43.000Yeah, the Iraqis couldn't get jumping jacks.
02:28:46.000So I don't want to try and get illegals into the military unless they're actually volunteering and going to be able to, you know, be able to pass the ASFAB.
02:28:57.000The ASFAB is a really, really important test.
02:29:01.000And if you score below an 85, on actually, I'm not sure what the number is, but it's essentially it boils down to an IQ test.
02:29:10.000And if you have below an 85 IQ, you can't get into the military.
02:29:14.000Because they can't teach you to do anything useful.
02:29:16.000So I think that we should continue to have a volunteer military for as long as is sustainable and use the ASVAB for its intended purpose.
02:29:28.000The fact that the ASVAB is still in use is a testament to the fact that it tells us something.
02:33:29.000Uh, about the things that you're mentioning, I did hear that Trump has made a decision to stop or to return to using steam catapults, and I'm not sure why.
02:33:40.000I don't know what the problem is with the um mag uh, whatever they call it the uh, um, electronic one they use that uses magnets.
02:33:49.000Um, but yeah, like I mean, we we have a significant problem with our our shipbuilding capacity, and I really think that the you know, the Congress should.
02:34:03.000Kind of get on that and pass some legislation that you know actually really beefs up our shipbuilding capacity right now.
02:34:11.000The military ships that the U.S. has compared to China, the U.S. has more military ships, but the basically every ship in China or that's built in China, um, is capable of being repurposed for military use to carry you know amphibious equipment.
02:34:28.000I believe they have to have be able to have a certain tonnage of displacement, and so even though China's You know, the military navy is smaller than the U.S.
02:34:39.000They can repurpose the vast majority of their privately owned ships into military ships.
02:34:47.000The U.S., I don't know why the Congress has allowed the Navy to degrade to the point that it has, particularly because the Navy is the most utilized branch of the military.
02:35:04.000The Navy is what we send a carrier when we want to project power and intimidate another country.
02:35:13.000So, I don't understand what the thinking is at the Department of War and the Congress when it comes to the capabilities of the Navy.
02:35:22.000They need to really rethink how much money they're appropriating for the Navy, in my opinion.
02:35:52.000So, I mean, look, I'm not in CIA or at the Department of War on the intelligence side.
02:36:00.000I don't know what China's capabilities are in reality.
02:36:04.000I only, you know, know the things that I read in the news and stuff.
02:36:08.000But I would like to feel like the military is capable of, you know, confronting China should that, you know, God forbid, actually be necessary.
02:36:21.000Um, And right now, at least from the stuff that I know, which again, I'll reiterate, I don't claim to know, you know, have any kind of inside information.
02:36:30.000But I would like to feel comfortable saying, yeah, the U.S. military is prepared for some kind of conflict with China, should it, you know, God forbid ever happen.
02:36:41.000And right now, I don't have that feeling.
02:36:43.000So simulations with the current capacity, we'll be able to stop majority of the time in the simulations.
02:36:58.000We have no ability to replace those ships anywhere along the lines of China.
02:37:02.000That means we're going to have to blockade, and most likely it's going to go to nuclear war because if we get in that fight, that's the only way to win.
02:37:33.000I mean, I get what you're, I get the impulse, but I still think that you're asking, you know, you're asking dudes that are qualified to pick strawberries to become welders.
02:37:43.000And, and I mean, I look, if you're, we take the line right from El Salvador.
02:38:00.000I've made this not to say that, you know, this isn't to disparage anybody that's an illegal immigrant, but if you are not capable of doing something, you cannot be made to be capable of doing something, right?
02:38:11.000Like if there is a skill, if there is something like welding ships and stuff, I don't think that just anybody can do it.
02:38:19.000Now, I'm not saying that there aren't plenty of people that are here illegally that couldn't learn.
02:38:23.000I'm saying that, you know, they probably could, but they have to be motivated and throwing them in prison and then expecting them to work on military ships.
02:38:31.000You know, I'm not sure that's a great reason why they would do it is if you gave them a major, but we need to do something to get a better line of ships.
02:38:40.000Yes, I mean, I'm at the point now when I look at it, I'm really thinking we need to have like trials on to whoever's doing the actual plans in the what is it, Pentagon.
