00:01:30.000Could it be that something else is going on as this war expands?
00:01:33.000Honestly, we don't know for sure, but it is a crazy story because, of course, yesterday we talked about these Chinese individuals that were indicted for planting a bomb at Central Command.
00:01:43.000We're also learning the U.S. has deployed drone war boats into the Strait of Hormuz, and we've got a crazy video that apparently shows, they claim it shows, anti-regime forces in Iran opening fire on the IRGC.
00:02:22.000Well, I think this reflects upon social media psychosis and how the younger generations are so desperate for attention because they don't know what else to do, they resort to doing meth, sterilizing themselves, shooting animals, and otherwise getting arrested.
00:04:54.000I am sometimes referred to as America's number two election denier.
00:04:58.000That's a recent one left for the book that I just had published.
00:05:01.000But I've been in the election integrity space now for over five years since the 2020 election was actually still ongoing.
00:05:07.000Prior to that, I was an Army military intelligence officer.
00:05:10.000I left the service after six years at the rank of captain.
00:05:13.000I tend to see the world from a strategic view, so I think it's kind of interesting that we are talking about drones being sighted over U.S. Air Force bases.
00:05:21.000I like to apply a strategic view to what's going on in the world.
00:05:24.000I have a long-term outlook on things, so I'm a little less susceptible to being downed by black pills online.
00:05:54.000These are missiles being launched by China being intercepted, or, as Kellen said, they are probes being deployed by three Atlas from the aliens seeking to come down and monitor us and our military is intercepting them.
00:06:07.000Or it could just be that people are paying attention because social media tells them to, and they're actually not seeing anything too crazy.
00:06:17.000And the reason why I actually think it's important to talk about this is that many people do believe something else is going on.
00:06:22.000With reports of the UFO disclosures, with aliens.gov being registered, people are pointing out that we are seeing way more fireballs than normal.
00:06:30.000Space.com says it's happening beyond the U.S. van, beyond the U.S.
00:06:35.000Vancouver saw a fireball on March 3rd.
00:06:37.000France, Germany reporting sightings March 8th and 11th.
00:06:39.000Many fireballs lasted a long time and were seen across wide areas.
00:06:44.000They say there's definitely been a clustering of fireball sightings.
00:06:47.000Quote, this is the question everybody wants answered.
00:06:50.000I think we are looking at slightly elevated meteor activity, though still well within statistical expectations, and increased awareness and reporting, which happens whenever big events occur.
00:07:00.000So it sounds like what they're saying is nothing to see here, guys.
00:07:03.000It's just someone on social media said it was happening.
00:07:06.000Everybody started looking up and seeing it happen.
00:07:08.000However, Owen Schroer recently put out a video saying he saw vehicles in the sky over Austin.
00:07:15.000One of them fell and burst into flames and the other two immediately dispersed.
00:07:20.000People then immediately started to claim, no, no, he was just looking at contrails from planes in the twilight of dusk, which makes no sense because that doesn't describe what he's actually claiming he saw.
00:07:30.000With this, many people are questioning whether or not what we're actually looking at is sophisticated drone warfare, which we all know has been escalating over the past several years.
00:07:38.000And with reports of these drone incursions at Air Force bases, could the question be, we are intercepting drones.
00:07:44.000Or our drones are getting intercepted and they don't want to admit it.
00:07:46.000Why would our drones be getting intercepted over our airspace?
00:07:49.000Maybe there's an attack over our airspace and they don't want to tell people.
00:07:52.000So you're saying that our drones are flying like U.S. military drones and somehow they're shooting them down?
00:07:57.000Like a Chinese drone or Iranian drone is in our airspace, maybe.
00:08:02.000And it's shooting our drone at the same time, but there's a cloak.
00:09:59.000Well, you know, the cultural impact of this, this is going to definitely spawn some conspiracy theories because we have a lot of those that are like there's been a movie and now there's an event.
00:10:12.000But, you know, the cultural impact of aliens, I think, is that Americans need to know the best illegal alien we ever had was E.T., who learned English and then went home.
00:12:29.000He said, everybody got out of their cars and were just like, not everybody, but a bunch of people got out of their cars and were just staring up at a saucer floating above the airport.
00:14:13.000Are you sure you're not talking about the man in the high castle?
00:14:15.000Was that the man in the high castle kind of had technology like that too, where a fictional scenario where Japan and Nazi Germany won World War II.
00:14:47.000The story is that the U.S. created a psyop to scare the Soviets, claiming we had psychic powers.
00:14:54.000The Soviets freak out learning this information, believing it's real, that the U.S. is developing psychic powers.
00:14:59.000So they create their own psychic unit.
00:15:01.000And then another division in the United States hears that the Soviets have a psychic unit, so they create a real one.
00:15:05.000And that's how we developed emergent psychic powers.
00:15:10.000There's that video of that guy, what's his name, Chris Bledsoe, he talked about the other day, where he said, in April of 2026, Israel and Iran will be fire missiles at each other and the orbs will rise up from the ocean.
00:15:19.000He claimed that after he got abducted by aliens in 2007, which I know all this sounds nuts, he said that, what was I going to say?
00:15:57.000This stuff's going to get more and more crazy as AI advances.
00:16:01.000And also, looking at how human warfare has advanced, I'm not sure how many of you guys are familiar with fifth-generation warfare theories.
00:16:07.000General Flint Boone Cutler wrote the book, Introduction to 5G Warfare.
00:16:11.000And first generation warfare is people slaying each other in fields with iron.
00:16:16.000And then you move into the second generation, which is gunpowder, third generation, different ways to maneuver the enemy, planes and tanks, worldwide.
00:16:23.000And then fourth generation is nuclear.
00:16:25.000And now fifth generation is where we are.
00:16:27.000Where I can't really see a major U.S.-China conflict militarily.
00:16:31.000The winner's going to have to, you're going to have to nuke them, right?
00:16:33.000So it's all psychological and it's going to mess with my mind.
00:16:36.000I disagree, though, because we've talked quite a bit about the generations of warfare.
00:16:40.000And fourth generational warfare is so third generation, I believe, is nuclear.
00:16:45.000It's where you go to mass destruction.
00:16:47.000Fourth generational is insurgent, where you have proxy wars and militia groups, and it's guerrilla where both powers are pretending like they're not at war.
00:16:55.000Fifth generation is where they say you're getting into psychological operations, the manipulation of a population.
00:17:03.000And the way to describe it is: imagine you could go to Genghis Khan and say, do not trample the fields on horseback with bow and arrow because I can win you the entire landmass of Asia with just a thought, with a pen.
00:17:20.000If warlords knew by saying words, they would have everyone bow to them, they wouldn't go to war.
00:17:26.000That being said, I actually think that there is a step between psychological warfare manipulations, post-nuclear war, and that is genetic warfare.
00:17:36.000So the use of biological agents to wipe out populations.
00:18:20.000I actually think many of the leaders will be like, release the virus.
00:18:23.000So before we get to the point where we try to fight for the mind of an individual, why not just purge anyone who would oppose you?
00:18:31.000It's kind of like getting people to fold pre-flop.
00:18:33.000I mean, you gotta, you gotta get before you, you know, before you try and manipulate the rest of them to join you, you would unleash the virus.
00:18:43.000Psychological warfare is still a battle, a battle for the mind.
00:18:46.000And so it's certainly safer and less resource, it's less resource-extensive.
00:18:51.000But I would actually argue that if you went to like Putin, for instance, and you're like, do you want to own the world right now, have everything under your sphere of influence?
00:19:00.000Do you want to fight for 10 years trying to plant these ideas?
00:19:16.000A virus that kills your enemy is the least amount of work.
00:19:19.000So I actually think, again, the point is, in the generations of warfare, psychological warfare, I think, actually may be behind us or in front of us.
00:19:28.000But I think it's much easier just to release a virus targeting a certain genetic subset.
00:19:38.000A number of things you just mentioned.
00:19:40.000500 years ago, one of the best-selling books of all time by Machiavelli, The Prince, talks exactly about how to deal with what we've really failed in.
00:19:47.000What my military career spun out because I no longer believed in counterinsurgency being a successful thing.
00:19:52.000But as far as diseases go, interesting book out.
00:19:55.000It's been out a long time, Guns, Germs, and Steel by Diamond.
00:19:58.000The Europeans that came over to the New World eradicated the native populations because they couldn't deal with the germs.
00:20:14.000The other thing, too, that most people don't realize is my understanding is that actually before the Europeans even arrived, there was a pandemic, an epidemic that had hit Native American tribes across the North and Central America already.
00:20:25.000So they already had their population reduced well before.
00:20:28.000They could have got hit by the black plague and just no written history.
00:20:32.000Well, the thing is, because the theory between why the Native Americans were less developed and more susceptible to diseases was land mass and a population density.
00:20:44.000So in Europe, you have thousands of years of history and all of these people crammed into a tight peninsula where you can't go anywhere.
00:20:51.000Some people escape to the other islands, they move about, but eventually you're looking at coast.
00:20:55.000You've got only a certain amount of arable land and then someone else says, I want that land and I want fishing for my family, not you.
00:21:22.000However, if you were one of the more peaceful tribes and you were chilling, smoking a peace pipe, and then a scout came by and he ran up and he was like, hey, look, you know, the Apache are coming.
00:24:35.000I mean, there are a lot of guys who are going to be like, because it's, here's the thing.
00:24:40.000If you've got a trained security force and you're on a highly defensible ship and you actually encounter a smoker of pirates, you're usually not at risk.
00:25:07.000What blows my mind is that they would continue to attack those ships, even though they almost is, obviously the reward has got to be through the roof.
00:25:17.000I got to be honest, if I wasn't doing this job, I would be applying for a job at Anderil.
00:25:24.000Making weapons, strapping bombs to drones and blowing things up.
00:25:28.000I was talking about joining military intelligence last night.
00:25:30.000Because the stuff we talk about, we're at the level where if you're going to go to the next level, I don't want to say it online because I don't want the Chinese spies to hear it.
00:25:37.000I'd rather actually ultimately build it.
00:25:39.000I'm just saying that during Occupy, when I was starting all of this media stuff, I was also, me and my buddies were hacking drones and making them do like surveillance stuff.
00:25:47.000We actually had this little ground drone.
00:26:54.000I don't know that we want to torture the people alive, but the honest thing is like in terms of effectiveness, the most effective thing is just to shoot a bad guy who's trying to kill you.
00:27:03.000I mean, I imagine in the future there will be, especially after the Ukraine war, all the things that have been learned, I imagine it does make sense for a ship to have drones with some kind of ordnance on it and fly the dummy ships.
00:27:17.000Here's something that I think is interesting, Freck, perhaps.
00:27:21.000When you have an ant problem, how do you solve the ant problem?
00:27:37.000And then what happens is they carry it on there on their themselves back into the colony where it starts to eat at their exoskeleton that they all start dying of dehydration.
00:28:03.000So the idea is, I actually, you know, again, more to the point, going back to like the generations of warfare, it's very rudimentary to be like, we are going to attack this person or group of people.
00:28:15.000I think beyond that, biological warfare, like this, sending a person back into their country.
00:28:20.000So a lot of people think COVID, for instance, was this because it targeted Asians, the ACE2 receptors in their lungs, which meant Asians were more heavily impacted by the virus.
00:28:31.000And there are conspiracy theories that the virus wiped out hundreds of millions of Chinese.
00:28:43.000We know that during COVID, crematoriums in China were running 24-7 nonstop.
00:28:50.000And I did do a video on this a couple months ago.
00:28:52.000There is a Chinese influencer who was like, where are all the people?
00:28:56.000And he goes to like city center and the marketplaces and he was like, here's a video from 2018 of the market and it's crazy.
00:29:02.000And it's like, here's a video now and it's just dead empty.
00:29:05.000And he's like, where did the people go?
00:29:09.000Do you think as you're talking about like chemical warfare and like bringing the poison back to the queen to destroy the nest, that we can do the same thing with psychological warfare, that you can poison the minds of civilian and then have them bring that idea back?
00:29:24.000Because that's kind of what communists administration is doing.
00:29:26.000You don't need to bring the information back.
00:29:27.000You just pay for it to appear on the internet.
00:29:43.000You could make the argument that the efforts to take Iran off the map as a global funder of terrorism would be something akin to that, but it's not one-for-one kind of.
00:29:53.000Let's jump to the story from ABC News.
00:29:55.000Multiple waves of unauthorized drones recently spotted over strategic U.S. Air Force base.
00:30:02.000Adam Cochran says, sophisticated drones attacked the U.S. base where we store the nuclear bombers.
00:30:08.000The drones had non-commercial signals, were resistant to jamming, came in waves of 12 to 15, swept over sensitive areas of the base, had long-range control links, were more advanced than anything seen, unlike a seen in Ukraine, beyond Iranian capabilities.
00:30:23.000Some people, it was reported apparently there was weapons testing.
00:30:26.000It's the second base incursion of a sensitive site in the U.S. in the last two weeks.
00:30:30.000Now, actually, I think, let me pull this image up that you have, Seth.
00:30:52.000Everybody was up in arms about the, I think there were multiple spy balloons, but this was the first one that crashed over in the Atlantic Ocean off of South Carolina.
00:31:00.000So I wrote a substack piece about this over on CaptainK.us, and this was viewed from more of a geopolitical military intelligence perspective.
00:31:08.000I like to zoom out to see the whole picture.
00:31:10.000And of course, it was launched in China, made its way up northeast, came across the Bering Strait.
00:31:16.000Now, where it starts in our territory goes over two bases in Alaska.
00:31:21.000Now, Fort Wainwright happens to be an Army base where there's a striker brigade headquarters.
00:31:25.000I actually served in that brigade my last assignment.
00:32:02.000So you have Fort Wainwright, which is a striker brigade headquarters.
00:32:05.000You have Islison Air Force Base next to it.
00:32:07.000But then you have Fort Greeley, the Army's cold weather training center, and it comes down through Canada, passes through Fairchild Air Force Base in Washington.
00:32:16.000So Fairchild Air Force Base is an airy feeling hub.
00:32:19.000And then it goes through the Rocky Mountain states.
00:32:21.000Malmstrom Air Force Base, of course, is a big missile site.
00:32:25.000You have Mountain Home, Idaho, which is a 366th fighter wing.
00:32:29.000Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota, off to the north.
00:32:51.000Apparently, you know, that's the shock really when we talk about, you know, I don't want to steal your thunder, but the drone story, not able to detect this sort of incursion or deal with it is the big problem here.
00:33:02.000Unless, again, the conspiracy theory being that these meteors people are seeing are actually just interceptions.
00:34:07.000If we look at it through a perspective of it must be a spy mission for the United States, it would just simply be a transit because you don't want to miss, number one, having it available to go over mostly land would require it coming across the Bering Strait rather than get swept away by ocean winds.
00:34:21.000But then going across through Canada through our strategic sites, that balloon was equipped with all sorts of optical capabilities.
00:34:28.000It seemed very primitive, but it was actually very sophisticated.
00:34:31.000And it's just so happened to cut through our really important missile bases in the middle of the country.
00:35:01.000Dr. Stone is action combat magic school bus.
00:35:05.000So basically, the story is at some point, everyone in the earth has turned to stone for some reason.
00:35:10.0003,000 years later, this super genius Japanese kid wakes up, breaks from his prison, has to rebuild society from the ground up.
00:35:17.000And one of my favorite parts of the show is they get into a tribal conflict with a group of people that don't want technology back because it destroyed the earth.
00:35:28.000And he, of course, is a scientist who wants to reignite the earth.
00:35:30.000And so he says, we are going to create the most powerful weapon known to man, which is any guesses?
00:35:53.000The ability to communicate on the battlefield can win you a war without a gun.
00:35:58.000If you've got a bunch of guys with guns and they're pointed straight ahead thinking you're coming, and then you tell your guys via long distance, hey, they're walking towards you, pincer attack.
00:36:06.000And they break apart and go around, you can with rocks.
00:36:09.000So the ability to communicate, the ability to transmit information over long distances is more powerful than anything.
00:36:17.000That's why even right now in modern warfare, they're saying the fifth generation is information, manipulating the minds of individuals.
00:36:24.000The communication is more powerful than the nuclear bomb.
00:36:29.000The Iran is shutting down the internet.
00:36:31.000The people that are shutting down the internet, I feel like, are fighting a losing battle because it is once the citizens get access to the data, it's like these regimes are done.
00:36:41.000Well, I mean, I suppose if you're saying that once they actually get access, yeah, but North Korea has a pretty good hold on information that goes in and out.
00:36:49.000I genuinely believe there is a scenario where the U.S., in an escalating conflict with China, brings an Anthropic and says they're already doing this using AI to target and locate individuals.
00:37:02.000They say, let's say China escalates the conflict and we start getting war, which genuinely puts the U.S. at risk of like, hey, man, we're budding on World War III.
00:37:12.000Heg Seth then says, why can't we react fast enough?
00:37:17.000How are they flanking us in the Pacific theater?
00:37:20.000And then someone says they are using advanced AI to predict our movements based on fueling patterns, based on resource distribution.
00:37:30.000They know that when we brought in a major shipment of aluminum from Canada that they can see on satellite, the AI is predicting what we're going to build and where we're going to put it.
00:37:38.000And so then he says, how do we preempt that?
00:37:41.000And they say, well, we are using AI systems all the same, but we're behind.
00:37:46.000And then he says, if our AI isn't fast enough, then we lose.
00:37:50.000And they say, well, actually, the issue isn't the AI isn't fast enough.
00:38:10.000And then they turn over weapons control to the AI.
00:38:13.000And then we get, I wouldn't call it a Terminator scenario, but we get a very, very terrifying reality where weapons are being fired without human approval, missiles are being launched, and then China reacts and says, what's happened?
00:38:24.000And they say, sir, they have just handed over full control of their missile systems and defense systems to their AI to just fire of its own accord.
00:38:35.000We will not be able to preempt this with human fail-safes.
00:38:38.000And then Xi Jinping says, do the same.
00:38:40.000And that's the AI mutually assured destruction where the AIs are just in a battle and we're sitting back and watching it happen.
00:38:47.000I think when the computers go quantum and they can exist in the maybe state, that's when if they have control of the weapon systems and they don't have to fire, they can think about it.
00:38:59.000That's nothing to do with quantum computing.
00:39:00.000Well, when you can exist in the one and the zero state at the same time, you can kind of wonder, you can think.
00:39:05.000That's going to break encryptions because it can flood the password instantly, but it's not going to calculate where to drop a bomb.
00:39:10.000Yeah, and if I understand correctly, quantum computing isn't useful for the same kind of computations that regular computers are.
00:39:19.000Quantum computing is not going to be able to take 300 different factors in war and then make a prediction.
00:39:26.000This is actually, we actually covered this like a year ago.
00:39:28.000Someone broke down why quantum computing is basically only good for cracking crypto because it won't be able to look at the entire battlefield and then calculate where to fire the missiles.
00:39:39.000Only standard Macro level is an ability.
00:39:42.000Maybe a quantum computer could use a bunch of classical computers then.
00:39:47.000Quantum computing, by allowing, having qubits exist in both the one and the zero, allows you to crack passwords instantly.
00:39:55.000So that's useful as a component of military technology, but you'll need standard computing to actually plan for your bombs and stuff.
00:40:03.000Yeah, the applications are very different, what they're useful for.
00:40:05.000Quantum computing is great for certain applications, and it does things that a regular computer can't, but there are things that regular computer, that regular computers can do that quantum computing just couldn't do.
00:40:18.000It's not like a regular computer just like gassed up and super powerful.
00:41:03.000That it could decide anything is terrifying.
00:41:05.000Well, so these systems are useful for narrowing down the battlefield, but there are a number of things that no advanced technology can change about warfare.
00:41:19.000Well, back in my day, which seems like so recently, but it was 13 years ago now, brigade combat teams were able to deploy anywhere in the world within 96 hours.
00:41:28.000So the first brigade of the 25th Striker Brigade Combat Team up in Fort Wayne Wright, Alaska, we had the port of Anchorage to our south about six hours and supposedly get everything on a boat and send the troops in within 96 hours.
00:41:42.000So people with these systems can figure out where our refuel points are, where the places that ships may be sailing, where planes are going to fly.
00:41:50.000Even people with primitive ability to project power, like Taliban, they would look for aircraft flying over the same landmarks.
00:41:56.000And that was one of the guidance air crews.
00:41:58.000Make sure you vary your flight patterns.
00:41:59.000So some of the things about military intelligence stay the same through all the ages.
00:42:03.000Well, the, you know, as the saying goes, was it wars are fought on the soldier's belly or something like that?
00:42:10.000Being able to feed your troops is one of the most important things, often overlooked in fiction and in history.
00:42:16.000Like the invasion of the Confederate forces into the North through with the Battle of Gettysburg had a lot to do with a couple things.
00:42:47.000The first day of Gettysburg could have completely changed the war.
00:42:50.000Lee had a beat, and if he would have seized the high ground at Little Roundtop on day one, then he would have commanded the battlefield.
00:42:55.000It was normally Longstreet that was the defensive general.
00:42:58.000And Longstreet wanted the high ground, and Lee was normally the offensive guy.
00:43:01.000The other big component there was that the, I believe this was the Union began using breech-loading muskets, and the Confederates were still using muzzle loaders.
00:43:09.000So the Union, it would take them about 20 seconds to reload, whereas the Confederates take about a minute and a half.
00:43:15.000Matt, I could see something like that happening in the modern war.
00:43:18.000Something changes where one side can unload offensive ordnance 15 times faster than the other side all of a sudden.
00:43:52.000So, so here's the issue: the amount of energy required for a laser weapon to be effective is orders of magnitude, like a hundred orders of magnitude greater than the amount of energy.
00:44:02.000It does require a lot of cheese, but they would say, like, the Nazis can't attack France, it's impossible.
00:44:07.000No one, and then all of a sudden, the Panzer tank, the Tiger tank, the tank that just tore through the mountains in the woods that no one knew existed.
00:44:13.000So, the Maginot line was quickly circumvented because they didn't know they could do it.
00:44:52.000And you can buy them where it's like a spiraling piece of metal.
00:44:56.000And pulling the trigger connects a charge and you can point it at like the UFO and it'll make it spin by blasting just like ions or something.
00:45:05.000And so they have these toys where it's a vacuum-sealed glass container with there's like little reflective panels on it resting on just like a stick.
00:45:17.000And when you point the ion gun to pull the trigger, it starts spinning because you're like hitting it with electromagnetic frequencies or something.
00:45:22.000They're like, me and my friends explored all this stuff quite a bit.
00:45:46.000You put on the belt and it electrocutes your abs into working out.
00:45:49.000And they said, now you don't even got to think about it.
00:45:51.000You're exercising while you're sitting at work, which is really dumb, but people did anyway.
00:45:55.000And so when I was like 22 or 23, I told my friend, let's, so the way it works is I think it's, what is it, like low amperage, high voltage, or something like this?
00:46:52.000So the idea was in the thumb and middle finger, you will have electrodes that when you make contact with the skin, it would have a taser-like effect without pain.
00:47:01.000So it would just cause muscle contraction.
00:47:03.000So it's like rapid, high-voltage, tit, tit, tit, like really, really fast, high-voltage.
00:47:09.000It's a constant, it's a constant current.
00:47:11.000So the way those belts worked is that it would do current stop, current stop, and it would cause your muscles to lock up.
00:47:17.000And people would put them on their faces and go, and they'd put it on their arms and go, and then I was like, why don't we utilize that, right?
00:47:23.000Some Magneto and Professor X stuff right there.
00:47:30.000You can then have, I was like, we can take a basic taser and we can attach the components of the taser to the back of the glove right here and then have the electric on the finger for a full taser.
00:48:58.000They have sun lamps that the way it works is you set the time you want to wake up and then within 10 minutes, it slowly starts lighting up and then it starts playing sounds.
00:49:08.000So you know I can't stand alarms like that stuff.
00:51:07.000I mean, it is, it does suck that they got your emails and it's like, did you guys know that Cash's favorite food is like, you know, curry or something?
00:51:15.000It's like, well, he's Indian, I guess.
00:51:28.000Yeah, it's like, oh, hey, we found out he's kind of a normal guy.
00:51:33.000The thing is, this is sort of a sight of what's to come.
00:51:36.000I think especially if AI does autonomate, and they call it the apocalypse, the APO, meaning the removal of the calypse, which is the veil, removing the veil where it just correct.
00:52:01.000Except for the oligarchs that probably didn't get their shit leaked.
00:52:04.000So apparently after the fall of the Soviet Union, people were basically like looking at each other and being like, I know what that guy's into, but he knows what I'm into.
00:52:13.000Ultimately, the capacity for information gathering has surpassed the human brain's ability to comprehend it.
00:52:20.000People are so zoned out with the daily news cycle.
00:52:23.000And I don't mean to bring up a memory we all wish we could forget, but it's six months later and nobody really even talks about Charlie Kirk being shot anymore.
00:52:31.000Well, that was one of the most important things.
00:52:34.000You might be right out there, but this week.
00:52:36.000I mean, just today or just yesterday, Michael Rappaport tweeted out, has Candace come any closer to solving Charlie's murder yet?
00:52:42.000Because it's the only thing that woman talks about.
00:52:44.000And I got to be honest, the only thing that is guaranteed to get views on YouTube right now is talking about how Erica Kirk was involved in Charlie's murder.
00:54:48.000Look, if a woman shows up and she's totally fine with no harm to her and she's like, I was abused, they'll be like, I mean, you can't accuse a guy of a crime without proof.
00:54:57.000It doesn't matter if it's abuse or otherwise.
00:54:59.000We can record stuff now and then you can fake recordings too.
00:56:30.000I am making a point about misconceptions on how this stuff works.
00:56:34.000So, wait, if you put $100,000 in a joint bank account with your wife, you're saying if she spends that money, she has to pay taxes on that?
00:57:16.000Ian, she will have to pay taxes on it.
00:57:19.000Okay, if I get paid from my job, okay, and then I put that money in an account and she uses it, that's income after the fact.
00:57:28.000If I pay taxes on my money and exchange it with literally anyone else who is not a dependent, they have to pay taxes on it, married or otherwise.
00:57:37.000So you can choose to file jointly or you could file separately.
00:57:41.000Separately means her money is her money, my money is my money.
00:57:44.000And if I give her money, she has to report it as income.
00:58:00.000Imagine a guy's a billionaire and he says, I am going to marry this woman and she can spend my money as she sees fit, but she ain't going to pay taxes on it because it's not income.
00:58:14.000She can join in with you and all the money is taxed, the highest tax bracket, or she can say, my money is my money, taxed at the lower bracket.
00:58:22.000And then I give her money and it's taxed income.
00:58:24.000You don't like the craziest thing to me is that people think, I guess it's just a lack of experience or understanding.
00:58:33.000People, you can't give family members money.
01:01:15.000If I am married and we both say we are filing as a married couple, if my wife goes and takes a job for $100,000 a year, she will pay $37.5, the highest tax bracket.
01:02:09.000If you marry someone and you file jointly, why would you ever let your wife go to the store and buy hamburgers if she has to pay income tax on that?
01:02:15.000Whereas if you go to the store, you don't have to pay income taxes.
01:02:17.000That's why people don't file separately.
01:02:19.000No, if you're jointly filing, you just told me that if you file jointly understanding, you just the first thing I said was joint filing makes your income one.
01:02:54.000When a married couple files jointly and they have a joint bank account, you only have to pay income tax on that when the man brings the money in.
01:03:00.000And then you can spend, both of you can spend it on whatever you want.
01:03:29.000When you marry someone, you can file jointly, which means your spouse has to pay taxes at the same rate as you because her income and your income is the exact same.
01:04:47.000Prior to, there was a point in time where women were considered, the way that Ian's saying, they were considered property because they were not responsible for their own behavior.
01:05:07.000Women couldn't have credit cards and stuff like that until they couldn't vote either.
01:05:09.000Yeah, but the reason women couldn't have the reason women couldn't have credit cards was not because it was like, oh, women are second class.
01:05:21.000It wasn't like these women shouldn't be allowed to buy things.
01:05:23.000I do think that you couldn't have a credit card in your name as a woman.
01:05:28.000Because we went over this already a long time ago.
01:05:31.000It had to do with property ownership and credit lines as opposed to you're a woman.
01:05:38.000And so some women did have credit cards, but companies chose not to issue them because you were considered less likely to have income.
01:05:45.000My broader point is women and men that got married, the man was responsible for the woman, right?
01:05:52.000So that was one of the things that the suffragettes that, you know, one of the arguments against women's suffrage.
01:05:58.000Women that did not want the right to vote said, well, then we're going to have all the responsibilities that men have.
01:06:03.000Right now, we don't have the same responsibilities that men have.
01:06:06.000If we get the right to vote, they're going to eventually have, et cetera, et cetera.
01:06:09.000And even to things that we talk about here, Tim talks about, you know, women should be up for the draft because they have full enfranchisement.
01:06:17.000The reason that women were considered second class or didn't have quote unquote rights is because they didn't have the corresponding responsibilities.
01:06:24.000Long story short, if you publicly state till death do us part, that's it.
01:08:25.000It wasn't a government thing when it first started.
01:08:28.000I know that perspective is fairly unpopular, but like people, people need some kind of guide rails.
01:08:34.000And with religion not giving them the guide rails that they used to have, I think that there still needs to be something that keeps people kind of on the straight and narrow.
01:08:44.000At the very least, incentivizes them to keep on the straight and narrow, even if it isn't, you know, you're going to get thrown in jail for it.
01:11:28.000You cannot shoot drones, even if you own it.
01:11:31.000You can't miss, you're still firing up into the air.
01:11:33.000So one of the reasons why you can't do it.
01:11:35.000And I think this dude should be in prison for a long time.
01:11:38.000He's a meth addict, self-described meth addict who sterilized himself, has hopped up on a whole bunch of goofballs and now is on camera shooting illegally into these animals.
01:11:47.000Now, maybe they faked the whole thing and it's a fake gator.
01:12:06.000Bro, I'm not playing these games, dude.
01:12:07.000This is going to get guns banned, right?
01:12:08.000This is the kind of stuff where Democrats will come out and see and say, this is a legal gun owner and they're not killing people, but this is the kind of reckless, psychotic behavior.
01:12:22.000Someone was shooting and he was driving and a bullet hit his car.
01:12:25.000And that's the kind of stuff that gets guns banned.
01:12:28.000Yeah, I think that we need to look at the generations.
01:12:31.000I was 23 when I got my first smartphone.
01:12:34.000So I at least got to grow up through high school and most of college without one.
01:12:37.000So there was a period of time when the internet came out where we had some connectivity to each other, but not completely always connected, where everybody was recording something all the time.
01:12:46.000So this generation clearly is needing constant stimulation, constant stuff to look at and click.
01:14:15.000I'll be calling the insurance company to fix the glass before.
01:14:18.000Mike Tyson is one of the smartest people to ever exist in the modern age.
01:14:21.000He said that thanks to the internet, that nobody's really afraid of getting hit in the face anymore.
01:14:26.000And then once people do stuff like that, they don't realize that there's real people with what's really crazy about these videos is how many times they're flagging each other, basically.
01:14:37.000Like, I'm surprised these retards didn't die.
01:14:40.000Like, dude's waving his gun around like a moron.
01:17:31.000I don't think he's done like airbrushing, maybe, but, and you can exercise, but I don't think he's done the more extreme things that he's claimed to do.
01:17:41.000Like his ears are uneven, his eyes are off.
01:17:43.000Like, I don't believe this guy is actually working really, really hard in terms of the extreme things like hitting himself with a hammer and getting surgeries.
01:17:50.000I think he's probably just generally working out, maybe taking testosterone, but that seems weird for a 19.
01:21:19.000My friend's dad said instead of braces, he just pushed on one of his teeth every day for like two years and it fixed it.
01:21:25.000What will happen is you push it and then it starts growing in that direction until it gets pushed in a new direction and then it starts growing in that direction.
01:21:32.000From my experience, is what it seems like.
01:21:33.000It's also how you get ingrown toenails.
01:21:51.000I think social media is largely fake, but the point is whether or not this guy's real or it's all just one big reality TV show, which is, I think it's probably reality TV.
01:24:04.000Because the guy kept shoving something in his face and he backs off and he pulls his gun and shoots him like, I don't know what's going on.
01:24:09.000And then they criminally charged the guy who's defending himself.
01:26:03.000Because you do see people trying to make more nuanced posts with intelligent takes.
01:26:10.000But, you know, there's still the situation where it's like you get some kind of slot picture or whatever, and you make a dumb comment and it goes viral for some reason.
01:26:17.000Or you just say something that's controversial and people are just like, oh, some of the biggest posts that I've ever put, it ends up like breaking kind of out of my bubble and it goes into spaces with people that strongly disagree with me.
01:26:29.000And then the replies are just a never-ending stream of criticism and telling me how stupid I am.
01:26:36.000But it's like, I mean, you made me a boatload of money this week, you know?
01:27:09.000We have more access to information than anybody, any people that have ever lived before, but less discernment than any group of people that ever lived before.
01:27:15.000All this stuff is out there to research and analyze.
01:27:51.000You know, I think if you're a Republican or a Trump supporter, of course, you want to do everything possible to keep a Republican majority, but the damage is already done because people disengage during primaries, which is the time to get rid of these useless incumbents.
01:28:03.000So really, the best you're going to get is really the same we have now.
01:28:06.000But I think in the long run, that Democrats taking the House will arguably be a better blessing for the American right than the Republicans holding it because you're going to have Trump's economy will probably turn at some point.
01:28:19.000It takes a long time to turn an aircraft carrier around.
01:28:22.000The Dems are going to abuse the power.
01:28:23.000And just like in 23, when Trump had done two years of being blamed for J6 and elections, it's going to unify the right.
01:28:31.000People's short memory spans are going to come into play here.
01:28:34.000And all of a sudden, if Trump's economy turns, then you're going to have in 2028, everybody's going to be running Republican again.
01:28:51.000Everyone's like, oh, MAGA's, the coalition is fractured and things like that.
01:28:54.000Like right now, after the Democrats went in the House and they start just beating the crap out of people, then you're going to get the right rallying against a shared enemy.
01:29:24.000I don't think in the short term we change this.
01:29:26.000In the long term, maybe things will change.
01:29:28.000But if you're once you get to that level of power, the amount of work you have to do to maintain that power, you're not going to swing one way or the other.
01:32:04.000She did not directly address Black Snape, but I love, love, love, love that they're doing this because it changes Harry Potter fundamentally in so many ways.
01:32:12.000So Hermione Granger is going to be mixed race, giving Mudblood a new meaning.
01:32:17.000And Snape being black changes everything.
01:32:22.000There's this funny quote from the book where Harry Potter's mom is like, you know, what is it about Snape that, you know, you won't leave him alone?
01:32:30.000And James Potter says it's nothing about him other than he exists.
01:32:33.000And so everybody's like, oh man, if they follow the book to the T, it's going to be about Harry Potter's white supremacist dad picking on the black kid and his mom, who, despite knowing the black hit her whole life, refused to date him.
01:32:46.000Before it was just like childhood friends and she chose the jock instead of the nerd.
01:32:51.000And then the other thing that's funny is in the first book, they constantly accuse Snape of trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, Sorcerer's Stone, depending on your region.
01:33:01.000And it's going to be really funny when like the kids are like, Professor Tumbledore, it's the black guy who's trying to steal everything.
01:33:07.000And he's going to be like, no, no, that's racist.
01:33:30.000I also respect people saying, we want a traditional Englishman to play James Bond, to which I say, fair point.
01:33:37.000So I'm like, I think if you're talking about a British spy, Adrias Elba's fine, but I do get why you'd rather have an Englishman who is traditionally Englishman a white guy.
01:33:46.000But I'm not going to get all that bent out of shape.
01:33:47.000Now, Anne Boleyn, when they made Anne Boleyn black, I'm like, come on, guys.
01:33:50.000Nobody had a problem with Nick Fury when Sam Jackson was Nick Fury.
01:36:23.000Like Ovada Cadavra, for instance, in the books, when they hit you with it, you just, your life is gone and you collapse.
01:36:29.000In the movies, they get blasted back 20 feet.
01:36:31.000In the movies, Harry casts Expelliarmus, which always just makes your wand fly to your hand, but Draco goes flying back 20 feet and crashes on the ground, right?
01:37:38.000So this meant that the rival team scored 17 goals.
01:37:42.000The difference was so great that at that point, they could not catch the snitch until they at least caught up a couple goals, which actually that makes it a fine game, meaning typically catching the snitch will win you the game if you can do it quickly.
01:37:55.000But if you're down way too much, now you can't end the game intentionally.
01:37:59.000So it actually is an interesting strategy then where it's like, if you are losing by 15 goals, you have to make up goals before you can try and catch the snitch.
01:38:09.000Without being hyper offensive towards women, like that's a sport that was created by a girl.
01:38:44.000I think the bigger problem is that the whole series is loaded with plot holes and things that make no sense.
01:38:49.000And then what happens is throughout the book series, it's kind of fine until you get into the Fantastic Beasts where all of a sudden it's like anyone can apparate.
01:38:57.000And it's like, okay, then what's the point of the flu network?
01:39:32.000Where is the where are the tweets on this one?
01:39:34.000Someone said, just realized that when Neville faces the Boggart, it's going to look like his biggest fear is a black guy hiding in a closet.
01:39:42.000This is just, I mean, it's, it's, it's just so ripe for all kinds of racial jokes and stuff.
01:40:29.000I'm not here to make fun of little kids or anything like that.
01:40:31.000I thought this was an AI and they got like a little girl that they were going to make a trans boy to be Harry Potter and they got a black snape.
01:42:03.000Prior to all the woke stuff happening, people didn't really notice, like, particularly in theater where it was a fairly selective group of people that were going to see plays and stuff like that.
01:42:15.000Whereas nowadays, with the, or at least not maybe not now, but you know, from say 2013 to 2023, like the culture in the U.S. was doing so much to try and try and like trying to shape the opinions of people so that people started to notice and push back.
01:42:34.000I got to say one last thing before we go to our Discord chat questions.
01:42:38.000Have you guys seen the lawsuit against the comedian for saying the Lion King song?
01:42:42.000I just saw the Viva Fry thing up there on the screen.
01:45:16.000Given the Chinese bombing attempt on CENTCOM, do you think China directed the attack rather than solo actors?
01:45:22.000If so, was it because they feared the U.S. solidifying global hegemony through our recent actions, or was it perhaps just an opportunistic shot while we're busy?
01:45:29.000I mean, we did talk about it the other day.
01:46:44.000The point of it is just to sow chaos in the United States.
01:46:49.000It's not like they're strategically saying, hey, this is going to take out the base.
01:46:53.000They want to sow chaos because what they want is the American people to be fighting with each other about what to do.
01:46:59.000There was an American in China that set off a bomb near one of their buildings and then fled to the U.S., that would have been an international incident.
01:47:07.000So I just don't think that the Chinese would do it.
01:47:10.000That's why, because I can't imagine our government doing it that overtly.
01:47:12.000Yeah, I think I agree with you on that.
01:47:14.000I don't think there's any risk of trying to kick something off on a bigger scale like that.
01:47:18.000So, but China's definitely going to be feeling the heat with Venezuelan-Iran operations.
01:49:42.000I think it's funny how people are referring to these two factions of Charlie Kirk supporters as the Sunni Kirks or the Shia Kirk supporters.
01:49:50.000Because I made this joke where I said, I'm launching a new debate show, but instead of debating, it's just me and another person pulling up texts Charlie Kirk sent us to justify our positions.
01:50:00.000And then, you know, Pesobic was like, SUNY Kirk versus Shia Kirk, which is like basically it.
01:50:49.000A lot of people are getting ahead of, I'm not saying that just like you, you know, I think that there's good reasons before it all kicked off.
01:50:56.000When people are really doomcasting about what's going on in Iran right now, then they're looking at remembering Afghanistan and Iraq, where the 4th Infantry Divisions camped out in hardstand buildings for a nine or 12-month deployment cycle, even went up to 15 months at some time.
01:51:11.000And you had contractors there making three times what the green suiters are making.
01:51:17.000And really, to run everything back to what we talked about earlier, all throughout history, counterinsurgencies have been massive failures, unless they're on islands and you can use the Navy to cut off the flow of personnel and arms, divide the population, and destroy the enemy.
01:51:40.000And you have massive terrain advantages for any force that is trying to defend.
01:51:45.000I think the only hope for bringing things to a legitimate regime change would be for the local nations or for the locals to be able to displace that government because we're not going to be able to do it.
01:51:54.000And I don't even think President Trump would do that.
01:51:57.000I do think we have special operators in the country for sure.
01:52:00.000I do think they'll take Carg Island, but I don't see a massive conventional operation on this.
01:53:21.000Saying, I'm referring to your Trump one segment today as someone who fell into a bit of a lack of enthusiasm.
