00:01:20.000I guess Iran had sent a few drones to three different merchant ships that were traveling through the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. has now decided that they've had enough, so the strikes are back on.
00:01:31.000There's massive bombing in multiple places in Iran.
00:03:38.000So, anyways, we're going to get right into it from the post millennial.
00:03:42.000Ice agent shoots, kills illegal immigrant from Mexico who tried to ram him with his vehicle.
00:03:47.000You know, I thought that everyone knew that it's a bad idea to try to use your car to take out an Ice agent, but clearly this guy wasn't paying attention to the news earlier this year.
00:03:59.000The postmillennial says an Ice agent shot and killed a Mexican illegal in Houston Tuesday morning after federal officials say he attempted to flee a vehicle stop and tried to strike the agent with a vehicle.
00:04:09.000Fox News Digital identified the man as Lorenzo Salgado Arroyo.
00:04:23.000The incident happened shortly before 7 a.m. during a targeted enforcement operation, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
00:04:29.000ICE said Arroyo allegedly rammed an ICE vehicle, ignored multiple verbal commands, and attempted to run over an agent.
00:04:36.000The agency said the agent fired his weapon in self defense.
00:04:39.000The Houston Fire Department said crews were sent to the scene at 6 51 a.m. and found Arroyo suffering from a gunshot wound.
00:04:45.000He was taken to Ben Taub Hospital while CPR was underway and later died, according to ICE.
00:04:51.000The FBI's Houston office is investigating if there was an assault on a federal law enforcement officer.
00:04:56.000While the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General is handling the investigation into the fatal shooting, FBI spokesperson Connor Hagan said, It is not a surprise that a law enforcement officer will shoot you if you try to hit him with your car.
00:05:11.000I think we're all like, apparently, we're rediscovering this, though, as a nation.
00:05:15.000I mean, apparently, that's just the thing.
00:05:16.000And by the way, this is not the first time this has happened.
00:05:19.000This has happened multiple times with illegal immigrants trying to ram ICE agents or officers with their vehicles when they're getting in trouble.
00:05:25.000There was one just off the top of my head, there was Portland.
00:05:30.000They were part of a sex trafficking ring.
00:05:32.000And the media and Democrats tried to run with it, being like, oh, look, now they're shooting innocent illegals.
00:05:38.000And then you dig just one layer deeper and you see what's actually going on there and it just blows up in their face.
00:05:42.000I don't know if they're going to try to do the same thing here, but every single time they try to grab it, they try to turn it into a sob story and it fails miserably.
00:05:59.000In a hundred years ago, this stuff would happen like quietly, and then it would build, But now we get to see each individual instance of some debt.
00:06:07.000I don't want to call them an idiot, but some desperate moron, whoever they are, trying to ram a police officer.
00:06:11.000Anybody who tries to ram a police officer in their car has some problems.
00:06:13.000Are you saying that a hundred years ago, they were that people were trying to ram police officers in their cars?
00:06:16.000Yeah, they were getting one off people, but they wouldn't make news.
00:06:37.000It is worth noting that I haven't, like, I haven't, you know, heard a lot of leftists coming out and making a big stink about this one.
00:06:44.000Do you think that they've actually decided, you know what, maybe we shouldn't take the mantle of defending the illegal, take it up because this person was likely involved in some kind of illegal activity beyond his being here illegally?
00:07:03.000So they'll do, they'll attempt to do that with anybody, and then it'll just, it depends on how much steam it gets in the mainstream media, like whether or not they actually want to deal with that.
00:07:10.000I mean, the Maryland man was, I imagine they're still running to his defense, you know, the, whatever the fuck he's just so cursed.
00:07:18.000Yeah, the Maryland man who was actually, his Maryland dad.
00:07:27.000If we go out on the street and we go talk to some people, just your average everyday people about ice tonight, we will run into people that bring up Maryland man.
00:07:52.000But if I go to Huntington Beach or not even Huntington Beach, if I just go somewhere where it's not Philadelphia or D.C., maybe, you'll run into a lot of people that actually do support it.
00:08:03.000But this is what the left does when it comes to if you show your support.
00:08:07.000Publicly, we will do everything we can to make your life a living hell.
00:08:11.000And that still exists today, by the way.
00:08:12.000And they still run a lot of these institutions.
00:08:46.000I describe it as the normal people that are worried about their kids and their family and spend maybe, An hour to two hours per week listening to news, and they don't go much further than listening to the headlines, and that's kind of how they form their opinions.
00:09:55.000They're that like insurgency group that was going out there assaulting federal officers, by the way, and behaving like absolute lunatics in the street.
00:10:03.000So, if you guys have ever taken like a CCW class or a conciliary class, pretty much the entire thing, pretty much like the entire course, is just like, don't do what Alex Pretty did, right?
00:11:01.000You know, the idea that you would go to a protest and be an activist saying, Oh, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to try to inhibit police officers from doing their job, law enforcement officers from doing their job, and doing it armed, that is just asking for trouble.
00:11:51.000And that's what you're supposed to avoid when you have a firearm on your person.
00:11:54.000I think these high profile cases, some of those high profile cases, like what you were just talking about with Pretty, and then this guy who attacked the cop, the ICE, I mean, they're putting like a A bitter taste in the mouths of the leftist activists that are on the side of ICE or on the side of the protests against ICE because it's just, it's not as, it's like taking away the veil of like ICE bad, everyone else good.
00:12:17.000It's showing that there's nuance here and that evil people can still do evil to the federal police force.
00:12:24.000And then maybe the federal police force isn't the bad guy in that situation, even though you disagree with their initial premise.
00:12:32.000For the majority of these targeted fugitive operations where they have 10 agents and they're going after an individual, usually that guy is a bad dude as well.
00:12:41.000That's why they end up in situations where they ram officers with their guns.
00:12:46.000They're in the country illegally and they're doing that when they're getting caught.
00:12:49.000Yeah, I mean, to Lisa's point earlier, like, it is, like, I mean, not that I'm hoping for, you know, illegals to be killed, but, like, if you're a violent criminal, if you're the kind of person that's, like, I'm going to use my car to try to, you know, try to hit a police officer, no one's going to cry if the police officer defends himself.
00:13:08.000Like, I forget what the woman's name was.
00:13:11.000It was very, it was right before the Pretty.
00:13:57.000You go to Mexico, you're in Mexico illegally from some other country, you do something like that, screw around with police officers, whatever, and they're trying to remove you from the country.
00:14:06.000And never mind the fact that most countries, if you're found to be in their country illegally, you go to prison in that country for being there illegally.
00:14:13.000Like, the U.S. is incredibly generous because we don't actually imprison you for being here illegally.
00:14:18.000It's the most generous country on the face of the earth when it comes to that process.
00:14:55.000Whatever, you're not in the U.S. anymore.
00:14:57.000It's so beyond, if you actually think about it, so beyond over the top what we do for people that broke into our country.
00:15:04.000You get what medical treatment, you get education, you get oh, yeah, and we're also paying people $2,500 to even leave in the first place, yeah, with in a country that they have no permission to be in.
00:15:17.000It's actually so over the top how generous we are with these people, yeah.
00:15:21.000So it's wild how, how like kid gloves the U.S. can be sometimes, you know, philosophically or with people, but then how brutally sadistic it can be behind closed doors with like drone bombs and stuff.
00:15:34.000So it's like with a smile on our face, we'll.
00:15:38.000You know, do some things that I'm not going to talk about on YouTube to your home country.
00:16:49.000Like, They literally have a Hellfire missile that can be shot at a target that has swords that shoot out, so that way it's not an explosive, so we don't have collateral damage, so we don't kill innocent people.
00:17:50.000What you were talking about when it comes to using.
00:17:52.000We call it world police if you want to.
00:17:54.000And I'm not really even making an argument here for like, oh, Yes, it's good that we're doing everything that we do, but if we're not doing it, somebody else is going to take our position of being that bully, I guess you could say.
00:18:05.000Yeah, either you automate it or we have to keep doing it.
00:18:08.000Either you automate it to like robotic AI and just trust that it's a flawless process that's going to oversee humans and don't let us go to war again, but that's like why we kneecap ourselves and we're ahead.
00:18:18.000Wouldn't someone still be in control of the AI system that you're talking about?
00:18:23.000So even if it's an AI system or what have you, it would be something that the U.S. ostensibly, the U.S. would still control.
00:18:31.000By automating it, you're just handing it over to robots as opposed to having human beings do it.
00:18:36.000And at that point, you've still got who's developing the weapons, who's actually writing the code, who's the one that's in control of the AI.
00:18:46.000It's just changing who's taking the kinetic actions, making it from people to automated systems.
00:18:53.000You could, like the Americans would probably build it, you're right.
00:18:56.000But it's like if you push a boulder down a hill, you're no longer controlling that boulder.
00:19:01.000So, we could set a process in motion with like an artificial governance that oversees autonomous weaponry and stuff to protect the human race.
00:19:22.000We'll fight to the death to make sure that we maintain that power, you know?
00:19:26.000But the options that we have, like whether it be Russia or China, The best option we have is that the United States is the one actually making the calls.
00:21:17.000Then it goes on to kind of pad the numbers and say convictions versus arrests.
00:21:20.000While there are more than 12,000 people annually arrested, the number of individuals formally convicted and sentenced is significantly lower because that's better, right?
00:21:28.000We'll use the government, we'll arrest you, scare the crap out of you, right?
00:21:34.000Possibly you'll have to defend yourself in court, spend all the time away from home, spend the time away from work, possibly spend the money to defend yourself.
00:22:04.000There's like been cases where they get way less time than people for Facebook posts.
00:22:09.000Yeah, because they're, because of their, their, a lot of it's because of the whole, the, Maybe it was around like 2015, the gun debate was a big thing.
00:22:19.000Everyone would always be talking about it.
00:22:20.000I feel like we haven't really been talking about that for a long time.
00:22:22.000And it was always brought up, like, oh, well, they don't need guns over there.
00:22:26.000They don't need any of this stuff over there.
00:22:44.000Well, a lot of them, part of the reason is because they don't have the infrastructure to do it, they don't have the ability to monitor their.
00:22:49.000The population is the same way that the UK does.
00:22:51.000Because, I mean, there are more, there are tons of cameras everywhere in the UK, and they monitor people's social media posts and stuff.
00:23:00.000But you mentioned firearms and stuff like that.
00:23:02.000One of the things that people in Europe like to say is they're like, oh, you know, you guys have so many murders in the US.
00:23:08.000And if you look at how many people die from heat stroke every year in Europe, there are more people that die from not having AC than there are people murdered with firearms.
00:23:26.000And if you take out a handful of major cities, the U.S. firearm murder rate goes down to dramatically similar to what European countries are.
00:23:35.000Lower, way lower, like extremely lower.
00:23:37.000In our suburbs, it's virtually non existent, the homicide rates.
00:23:42.000In Britain, all this censorship and arrests is this because the emperor is trying to just maintain control of all those people?
00:24:52.000I don't want to joke about it, I mean, whatever you think about Empire, that it's like our neighboring England is like our neighbor, good guy, speaks English with us.
00:24:59.000And they're the, like, right there across the ocean, you know?
00:25:05.000But they, like, these extreme censorship technologies being implemented in their country, right there with the people that are, like, about as American as you can get without being American.
00:26:02.000We were talking about the New World Order, basically, that George Bush Sr. was talking about.
00:26:06.000And that they're just bringing foreign nationals into all these countries to create a global village and just disrupt American power, disrupt the dollar, disrupt.
00:26:16.000Get rid of our constitutional free speech law.
00:26:56.000Repeal the 17th, the 14th, a bunch of other ones.
00:26:59.000I think you might be right that voting's not as potent as it seems, but we have the ability to like whip up a video show and talk to 100 million people and change their minds and tell them to push a button and they'll go do it.
00:27:08.000I mean, like, you can change like sentiment and, and you can affect that, I guess.
00:27:13.000But like, you don't have the big money that Pfizer has.
00:27:16.000You don't have the big dollars that, The gun lobby has, or that any other lobby has.
00:27:22.000I mean, the reason that our doctors treat us the way they do is because, like, even what doctors think is influenced by like big pharma, they write the textbooks, right?
00:27:52.000If I go home right now and go get potting soil from the store, decide I'm going to grow my own all organic food, is there chemicals in that soil that will seep up through my own food?
00:28:08.000If you don't live in a city, you can absolutely.
00:28:10.000They tell you not to eat snow anymore.
00:28:13.000Even if you're in Appalachia, where there's nothing going on because of the chemicals and things like that that are in the atmosphere and that seep in and that will.
00:30:11.000Like the tweaker down the street should not be able to vote to raise my taxes.
00:30:15.00052% of Philadelphians are illiterate, functionally illiterate.
00:30:21.000By all metrics, it's reported, and those people get to vote.
00:30:25.000You want to hear why I disagree with this data just a little bit because a lot of who's included in that, and I hate to harp on this again, is foreigners.
00:30:34.000So you end up with, like, oh, wow, why is California so behind?
00:30:37.000Well, it's not because all the teachers are bad.
00:30:40.000It's not because all the schools are bad, although you see a lot of the bad stuff.
00:30:45.000But a lot of it is because you have a lot of immigrants that have come in over the last 40 years, and their parents aren't really strong on education.
00:30:53.000And you have kids that are in the classroom that don't really speak English.
00:30:57.000So you're going to end up with that data regardless.
00:30:58.000And the No Child Left Behind stuff was terrible.
00:31:01.000All they do is they push kids through that haven't actually achieved anything.
00:31:04.000So that data is a little bit misleading, though, Lisa.
00:31:31.000But to your point, I've definitely made it clear that I think there are way too many people voting, people that don't have any idea what they're actually voting for.
00:31:42.000They listen to a politician say, I'm going to give you these things.
00:31:46.000There's going to be all this stuff that we're going to do for you.
00:31:48.000And people are voting in the hopes that they basically can get handouts from the government, whether they be handouts in some kind like child care or.
00:32:18.000Well, I mean, look, I don't care if it's all women and 50% of men or whatever, but the people that are voting, you should have some kind of basic, you should at least have a basic understanding of how our system works.
00:33:38.000There was never a point where the president could say, I'm going to go ahead and forgive you of a debt that you yourself decided that you wanted to take on.
00:33:46.000But people still vote for politicians that make these promises.
00:33:51.000We should have far fewer people voting because people don't know how our government works.
00:33:55.000You want to vote in your state elections?
00:34:54.000But the point that I'm making is if you're not in a Democrat run city and you're, you're, you can, even still, you're going to have way more impact on your local election than you're going to be able to have on a federal election.
00:35:05.000I think before any of that stuff, though, I mean, realistically, you have had over the last 40, 50 years mass importing people from countries that aren't really assimilating to American culture and they're coming here and they're coming here for the benefits.
00:36:11.000From the post millennial breaking, Tyler Robinson's trans lover, Lance Twiggs, DNA found on screwdriver and a towel at UVU after Charlie Kirk's killing.
00:36:22.000This is going to be gross, ladies and gentlemen.
00:36:25.000During testimony on day two of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing, it was revealed that DNA evidence recovered from a screwdriver and towel retrieved from Utah Valley University in the wake of Charlie Kirk's killing belonged to Lance Twiggs, Robinson's transgender lover.
00:36:40.000Jenna Faumina, a sergeant at the Utah Department of Public Safety who has worked in the State Bureau of Investigation at the time of the shooting, read out portions of a DNA report.
00:37:50.000Did people want to know if there's more to it than just this guy?
00:37:53.000And I'm not saying someone claiming that his DNA was on the weapons towel and a screwdriver at the shooting spot is enough to damn him to guilt, but what is the.
00:40:13.000I wouldn't have a problem with them considering him an accessory, considering all the text messages and back and forth and posts and stuff that you've.
00:40:20.000I have a feeling we'll probably end up seeing more coming out about that.
00:40:24.000We'll probably be seeing a lot more coming out about that.
00:40:27.000There were a lot of Twitter posts talking about the day, like the day before the actual shooting happened.
00:40:33.000There were people that were saying, oh, there's going to be a big.
00:41:09.000The evidence that the FBI has, but like, yeah, I don't think that he was trying to keep it quiet.
00:41:14.000It seems like he was talking about it with people that were in that Discord, and people knew that there was the possibility of something going on.
00:41:22.000Very easy for people to look at Discord and see who's doing something and then encourage and help people to get their things done.
00:41:29.000Yeah, because if someone was like, yeah, do it, does that make them an accessory to murder?
00:41:33.000Because if someone comes online and they're like, I'm thinking about doing a horrible crime, and I'm like, ah, yeah, just on like World of Warcraft in general chat.
00:41:40.000Am I now, and then he goes and does some more work?
00:41:42.000Am I like an accessory to that, even though it's some internet chat?
00:41:44.000Well, if you egg him on more than probably a.
00:41:50.000Because, like, if someone comes on and they're like, I'm going to go fill out the blank legal, I'm like, what about I have to report this guy to the FBI?
00:41:57.000I don't want anything to do with that.
00:42:17.000So, if I came to you and I said, Ian, I'm about to do X, Y, Z, and you don't say anything, you can definitely be in trouble for them.
00:42:23.000But if it's like in a chat room with like 10,000 people you don't know, and one of the chatters says a thing and it like flies by in the chat room, you're like, you're not.
00:43:15.000If it's someone I know that comes up to me and Tells me in confidence they're going to go commit a horrible murder, I have a kind of a moral duty to turn them in or do something to stop them.
00:43:22.000You don't have a moral duty if it's like, I get what you're saying.
00:43:25.000It's to the point where if I don't know who the person is and a guy comes up to me on the street and says, I'm going to go commit a crime, go rob a thing, and I'm like, I'm not involved in this guy's crazy world.
00:43:34.000I'm going to be sure he has some milk.
00:43:36.000If people threaten to kidnap my kids online, I definitely call the FBI.
00:43:40.000I mean, if you're just on the internet in a chat room or something like that, you're not an accessory if someone says, puts something crazy in the chat.
00:44:06.000You're talking about a totally different discussion.
00:44:08.000Yeah, you're talking about a totally different discussion.
00:44:11.000It's extrapolating proximity to guilt.
00:44:14.000Just because you were with someone that was saying they were going to commit a crime and you didn't tell them not to doesn't mean that you're guilty.
00:44:19.000So, hey, I'm encouraging you if you were in chat rooms with that guy, turn him in.
00:44:22.000You're not going to get busted for it.
00:44:46.000Quick fact check on something I said earlier Lance Twiggs, there's no evidence that he is in the witness protection program right now, but he does have limited use.
00:44:57.000But also, he does have limited use immunity from federal and Utah County authorities.
00:45:02.000I bet he thought he was going to get thrown in jail, and he just was like, I'll do anything.
00:45:06.000I'll tell you anything you want to know.
00:45:08.000Look, man, they've got, they literally have his DNA on the towel that was wrapped up.
00:45:14.000That's the kind of thing where you're like, all right, I'm going to make a deal.
00:45:16.000You know, that like if your DNA is on something that is wrapping up the murder weapon, you're, they definitely have you in a position where you're like, I need to protect myself.
00:45:27.000It feels like an open and shut case, and I think it should be.
00:45:30.000Like, I feel like the longer we talk about it and make a big deal out of it, maybe not, maybe it's okay to talk about it once in a while.
00:45:35.000You think, this is why I didn't want to do this.
00:45:58.000So, I mean, it looks like he was the guy that actually took the shot.
00:46:01.000You know, it looks like he was talking to people in the Discord about it.
00:46:05.000So, I mean, anything beyond that, like.
00:46:10.000I mean, people can pontificate, but that's not something that necessarily is going to put people into a legally actionable position.
00:46:17.000A lot of people are aware of those weird posts that were coming out the day before of them being like, oh, well, there's something big happening tomorrow.
00:46:24.000I mean, there were at least several of those posts made.
00:46:27.000Outside of this trial, there needs to be a serious look at Discord or whatever groups were in the area that could have had anything to do with this as well.
00:46:38.000Because people aren't going to stop asking questions about that.
00:47:58.000Like, people don't even, still to this day, don't know that, like, there's any legitimacy or conspiracy even surrounding that, which I think is crazy.
00:48:42.000A lot of these teachers, they can't even, not in my school, my school's an exception, but like you see these schools and these teachers can't even spell words.
00:48:50.000Well, there was that viral video from Philly, right?
00:48:52.000With the student going up to the faculty, not even faculty, no, teachers and the principal, I believe.
00:49:38.000The fact that the government was lying so much about what happened with COVID and what was going on, and with the availability of information now, people didn't know that when people found out that Fauci had something to do with the way that HIV was, the laws that were being made, or the narrative that was being spread about HIV, and then finding out that he has something to do with COVID too, they're just like, all right, I don't believe anything.
00:50:18.000The government has definitely lied about a ton of stuff, whether it be CIA operations that are not supposed to be happening in the U.S., but absolutely were, selling drugs in the U.S. to fund freedom fighters in South America and stuff.
00:50:35.000The government has done really terrible things.
00:50:39.000Totally valid and completely justified to be very skeptical of the government.
00:50:43.000But that doesn't, just because you're skeptical of the government doesn't mean everything that is the official narrative is always wrong.
00:50:49.000It's usually not that it's 100% wrong.
00:50:52.000It's usually what they call a limited hangout, right?
00:50:54.000So, like, when Nixon was being investigated for Watergate, they brought this stuff to him and they said, Look, we think that you should tell a little bit of the truth.
00:51:09.000The advisors replied, Well, what we're thinking of is a limited hangout.
00:51:13.000You tell a little bit of the truth, but we hide this stuff.
00:51:17.000And that's kind of the MO of the government now.
00:51:19.000They'll tell you, they will tell you true things, but they don't tell you the whole story.
00:51:23.000And then when people hear that there were things that they hid, then the reaction is, Well, it's all a lie.
00:51:31.000And that's not how things work generally because the more confused people are, the more bits of truth and bits of deception that people ingest, the more confused they are about the actual reality.
00:51:43.000And they tend to stop believing anything and they'll pick up on whatever their preferred narrative is and whatever their emotional reaction is, and they're like, this is what I believe.
00:51:52.000And so then it doesn't matter whether what they believe is true or whether they have a lot of evidence for it.
00:51:57.000They're not going to believe the official story because that's the government and the government always lies because the government does lie enough to make people justified in that opinion.
00:52:05.000So they just decide, well, this is what I think.
00:52:07.000And so this is the narrative that I'm going to stick to.
00:52:09.000I think it's also super important to keep in mind that Blue and On will grab onto every single, any potential chaotic event or chaotic event and they will push their narrative as hard as they can as well in that area.
00:52:23.000For an example, every single assassination attempt that I've ever talked to people.
00:52:27.000Folks on the left about on the street, they have brought up that, oh, it was a loving Trump supporter that tried to kill him.
00:52:35.000I heard one person mention for the Butler situation, for the Butler assassination attempt, that no, Trump actually squeezed like ketchup on him when he was on the ground.
00:52:47.000So, you know, they have every incentive to get the heat away from them as well.
00:52:53.000So just keep that in mind whenever we're seeing these crazy things happen.
00:52:56.000That's why I said, like, people will decide that this is the narrative that I like.
00:53:00.000And that's the one that they stick to.
00:53:01.000Like the people that are, that are, you know, that don't like Trump, they still believe that the whole Butler situation, the attempt was a lie.
00:54:58.000Like, we like him, but like, the government doesn't.
00:55:01.000If you're talking about comic books, it's because of they, you know, you have to have drama in the comic book because it's a story.
00:55:06.000And they want it's not real, it's pretend.
00:55:08.000They're like, yeah, it's weird when like they made Spider Man's like the bad guy, but He has to do it anyway, you know, even though he knows what he's doing is making him look worse.
00:55:33.000Because we're not in a third world country, we should actually demand a little bit more of our communities and our police forces and all that stuff instead of saying some idiot can go out there.
00:56:23.000But to Lisa's point, like, look, If you're the kind of dude that's walking around, like if you've got a family and you're walking around with your kids and some dude rolls by naked and is like swinging his junk, I am fully, like fully endorse you popping that dude in the face.
00:59:58.000Now, this is what I'm wondering is if a person, through their corporation, their corporate ownership of their autonomous weaponry, decides to do vigilante justice, like Doc, you think that's bad?
01:00:16.000Like the American Revolution was like vigilante.
01:00:19.000It's crazy to me that you talk about it.
01:00:21.000Talk about like corporations as if they're bad until this comes up, and then they're like, you know, maybe a corporation should go ahead and make a bunch of robots to be law enforcement outside of the normal.
01:00:32.000It could be a guy that's not registered, it could just be a guy that owns 19 drones and he's hooked up to a neural net and he controls them all and flies around town at night patrolling the city on his own because he feels like cops aren't doing it.
01:00:41.000So, okay, so like if you're talking about like high tech neighborhood watch, that's one thing.
01:00:47.000It's totally different when you're talking because you just mentioned drones with machine guns, right?
01:00:51.000Like, so drones that are, if you're like a dude.
01:00:55.000That has a couple drones or whatever, and you are like, I'm the neighborhood watch, and I have this drone that flies around my neighborhood and keeps an eye out to make sure nothing's going wrong.
01:01:05.000And then if you see something weird, you call the police, perfectly fine.
01:03:31.000You can agree with individual moments of vigilantism, but in a general sense, it's going to be chaos.
01:03:37.000If you want, again, if you want to have a dude or a couple dudes that have drones that are monitoring your neighborhood, like a high tech neighborhood watch, and then you call the police, you call the actual law enforcement, go ahead.
01:05:26.000No, I think that the corrections on corre End the fighting between the two countries.
01:05:40.000The strikes were expected to hit a variety of military sites and port facilities, U.S. officials said.
01:05:45.000The renewed attacks were sure to add to the difficulty in the negotiations aimed at fully reopening the strait, rolling back Tehran's disputed nuclear program, and reaching a permanent end to the war launched February 28th.
01:05:56.000In a statement posted to social media, U.S. Central Command and American forces launched the strikes to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway.
01:06:07.000One U.S. official said the military is targeting Iranian air defense systems, coastal surveillance systems, and ground to air missiles.
01:06:12.000Missiles, as well as launch sites for anti ship cruise missiles and drones.
01:06:16.000Iranian port facilities are also being targeted, that official said.
01:06:19.000The second official said the strikes would likely last for hours.
01:06:23.000I read something that said that these strikes are not going to just last for hours, that it could be days.
01:06:28.000I don't know how true that is, but look, the MOU, the Memorandum of Understanding, it looks pretty clear that we can toss that away, that there is no understanding, and that.
01:06:43.000Whoever is in control of the IRGC, like they are still intent on attacking merchant ships and trying to make an actual, you know, prevent people from using the Strait of Hormuz.
01:06:56.000I think the U.S. is probably in a pretty good position to continue preventing that so long as, you know, as long as the military is in the area.
01:07:07.000And I think these strikes are probably going to continue for a while.
01:07:11.000There were three merchant ships that got hit.
01:07:13.000There's a Qatari merchant ship, a liquefied natural gas tanker.
01:07:18.000A Saudi Arabian crude oil super tanker and an unidentified tanker.
01:07:22.000You know, and to that point, like the other Arab states, they should be stepping up and saying, look, this is Iran, you know, actually declaring war on us, right?
01:07:32.000Like the Saudis have no love for Iran at all.
01:07:35.000Iran is the country that destabilizes the whole region, you know?
01:07:40.000Like the Saudis in Iran, you know, whether it be because of the Shia Sunni issue or whatever, they all really have a problem with Iran because Iran is the, you know, they're the ones that are funding the Houthis, and the Houthis were fighting.
01:08:00.000Iran has been doing all sorts of, taking all sorts of actions to fund terrorist organizations or militias that cause, that just wreak havoc throughout the whole region.
01:08:09.000I don't know why I'm thinking about Turkey.
01:08:14.000I'm thinking about like American dominance in the region and how Trump's over there removing sanctions from the Turks because the Russians, in order to get through the Black Sea, now that they have Crimea and they have Sebastopol, they need to go through Turkey, they need to go through Istanbul.
01:08:27.000That Constantinople, they need to get through through the Bosphorus Strait.
01:08:30.000So, Turkey's in NATO, so America wants to strengthen its ties with Turkey so that they don't change their ties with Russia.
01:08:37.000And then, because Netanyahu's like, that's a bad idea.
01:08:40.000Trump's talking about giving like F 35s or some jet to the Turks.
01:08:43.000And Netanyahu's like, I wouldn't do that.
01:08:44.000That will change the power balance in the region.
01:09:12.000Yeah, the day that the strikes happened, I started to write, I wrote a piece that was talking about, you know, it's really about China and about trying to, you know, change the geopolitical situation.
01:09:36.000The Panama Canal was about because China was taking trying to basically control both ends of the Panama Canal, and the US is like, We built it, you're not going to control it.
01:09:44.000The US built it, we lost a bunch of lives putting that there.
01:09:47.000You know, this is something that the US is going to be able to control because we want to make sure that the whole world can use it.
01:09:52.000We're not going to make we're not going to allow China to decide who can and cannot use the Panama Canal.
01:09:57.000I think that's why the US is putting the screws on Cuba because Cuba is basically in the gateway to the Gulf of America.
01:10:07.000All of this stuff, there's even the Strait of Malacca where the U.S. is making moves.
01:10:18.000But it's not something that makes a lot of news, but the U.S. is making moves around the Strait of Malacca as well because that's one of the choke points.
01:10:24.000We have more influence over that than China as well.
01:10:39.000This whole thing with Iran, like, I do think that obviously it benefits Israel, but I don't think that the decision to deal with Iran is because of Israel.
01:10:50.000I think that it fits into a greater picture.
01:10:53.000Just like the stuff with Greenland, you know, the U.S. needing to take Greenland.
01:10:58.000That's because the U.S. is trying to realign global power.
01:11:02.000If you've got the ice caps melting and Russia has a port that's, you know, open year round because the ice has kind of receded.
01:11:09.000Then you're going to have to, you want to have US forces that can monitor what they're doing.
01:11:14.000People act like the Greenland situation is something new to Trump.
01:11:49.000Controlling the entire region around our country.
01:11:52.000Whether it be, well, now, data centers, I guess you could make the argument for the cool temperature, but a lot of it has to do with obviously defense and a lot more.
01:12:20.000With the stuff with Greenland, I mean, the U.S. took stewardship of Greenland when.
01:12:23.000You know, when Denmark was invaded by the Nazis, you know, like during World War II, the last thing that we want is to have, you know, for sure, have the Nazis, you know, go over to Greenland because, well, that was, you know, Danish territory, you know.
01:12:38.000So it's not that ridiculous to think the U.S. for the U.S. to say, look, this is actually important to us strategically.
01:12:45.000Denmark can sit there and say, well, that's our territory, et cetera.
01:12:48.000But look, when this was actually in the news, we talked about how much it would cost to pay everybody in Greenland, and it wasn't a lot of money.
01:12:56.000I think it's a population of about, like, 60,000 people.
01:13:00.000You could make them all millionaires or give them five million bucks a piece, and you're not talking about a significant expense when you take into account the national security benefits that it could.
01:13:18.000But, yeah, this stuff with Iran fits into a broader picture.
01:13:23.000I mean, I know that there are people out there that think everything is because of Israel if it happens in the Middle East, but it's largely not.
01:13:29.000It's because the U.S. Is looking to change the calculation when it comes to basically all of geopolitics.
01:13:35.000Global shipping dominance and energy dominance.
01:13:47.000Thomas Massey introduced an amendment to the NDAA to take away the feature that says that we're going to merge our militaries, merge is a bit of a strong word, with the Israeli military.
01:13:58.000There's a bunch of collusion that they're trying to legally bind American.
01:14:02.000Military and the Israeli military, we're going to share secrets, share technology, share shipping lanes, or like part of our structural what do they call that?
01:14:12.000The building process with Israel to build our processes together.
01:14:34.000And I think part of the reason is because they're looking at the Five Eyes as less reliable when it comes to sharing intelligence and stuff.
01:14:41.000So I'm not saying that that's a good idea, but I think that the point is you look at the changing basically populations in the UK and stuff, and the US has said, well, look, we can't really guarantee that in 25 or 50 years that we're going to have the same relationship with these countries because they're having such significant changes of their population.
01:15:05.000And so we need to make sure that we have the ability to share intelligence and stuff with other countries.
01:15:12.000And again, I'm not saying that it's a good idea to do it with this.
01:15:59.000We don't need to initiate a nuclear war.
01:16:02.000That being said, look, part of the reason why today we have such, if I understand correctly, some of the stuff that I was reading on X over the weekend, part of the reason why we have such a close relationship with Japan now is because of the way that the U.S. responded in 2011 after the earthquake.
01:16:31.000There was the general consensus from the Japanese government in like 2008, 9, 10.
01:16:39.000They weren't particularly friendly to the United States.
01:16:40.000They were actually, there was some tension there.
01:16:43.000And then after the earthquake, the U.S. sent a bunch of aid, and we had Americans over there because we had people, we had military on Okinawa and stuff, and we jumped in to help.
01:16:54.000And we were doing a lot to really kind of help Japan.
01:16:57.000Deal with what was a massive, massive problem for them.
01:17:01.000I think it was 20,000 people died in Sendai alone, never mind across the whole country.
01:17:06.000So after that, if you took a set, they took a poll of like Japanese people, and the approval of the United States was something like 85 or something like that.
01:17:15.00085% of the people loved the United States.
01:17:17.000And so since then, the relationships with the US has actually gotten significantly better.
01:17:22.000So, like, looking at Japan as like an ally, particularly when you consider.
01:17:27.000Should something happen with Taiwan and we want to go ahead and make some kind of military move, we're going to need Japan.
01:17:33.000Japan is a great way for us to keep an eye on, you know, have intelligence about what's going on in China.
01:17:40.000And I mean, that's kind of what people think Israel is, right?
01:17:43.000So it's a way that the U.S. can kind of have a country that'll actually monitor the Middle East.
01:17:48.000Right now, you've got a problem with Iran, but in the future, China's going to be a significantly larger problem.
01:17:53.000And Japan is uniquely positioned to help the United States monitor what's going on in China.
01:18:40.000It was a big deal because we really did.
01:18:43.000You know, especially from the at least the way I understand it, the way that I was reading it on on a lot of expos is there was there were people that they kind of thought, you know, because of the tension between the Japanese government and the United States.
01:18:55.000They were like, well, you know, the Japanese government had just insulted the U.S. a bunch and kind of, you know, they were talking about there used to be people talking about like Okinawa as being like it's a bad thing that the military is there.
01:19:05.000The Marine Corps has the third Marine Division over there and it's bad and we shouldn't have that and Japan shouldn't be a client state of the United States.
01:19:14.000But once that happened, the U.S. was uniquely positioned to send aid and to send help and to send people there to literally help dig up bodies and stuff.
01:19:57.000And it's another thing that I wrote about on my Patreon the U.S. and Japanese relationship and why the Japanese and the U.S. actually have a lot in common, even though our cultures are very different.
01:20:09.000The way that we approach our cultures and the value that we have in our culture, the value that we place on our cultures, like it's very similar.
01:20:17.000And the U.S. doesn't want to see Japan change, right?
01:20:19.000Like the U.S. wants Japan to be Japan.
01:20:22.000It seems that the Japanese appreciate that.
01:20:24.000But anyway, I want to talk about Israel, unfortunately, but I want to also say something about Japan because the Ronin, the wandering samurai, is like kind of like the lone gunslinger.
01:20:31.000Like there's very similar, like heroic archetypes in the American and the Japanese mythos.
01:20:36.000But to answer your question from earlier, James, about who drafted that bill, they're calling it the Israel merge.
01:20:43.000It's colloquial, known around Congress like that.
01:21:15.000You have to remember a lot of these Southern evangelicals, they really, really believe that Israel is our greatest ally and we need to be doing everything we can.
01:21:28.000I mean, they really believe that with all their heart.
01:21:31.000The thing about the difference between Japan and Israel, because I agree Japan's an excellent alliance, is that we conquered Japan and then dominated them and rebuilt them with our own constitution.
01:21:43.000Israel's like its own thing, nuclear armed, allegedly.
01:22:13.000Turkey's an immense issue because they hold the keys, they hold Russia's keys.
01:22:18.000Yeah, Turkey, Turkey is they they have to ally with Russia because they're going to be their main shipping port, and they can't ally too closely because they are in NATO.
01:22:26.000I know it like this puts them in an immensely powerful position, Turkey.
01:22:31.000To negotiate to the right or to the left, to the east or to the west, to the Russians or to the Americans.
01:23:14.000When they sell planes to other countries, they'll sell the plane, they'll sell the airframe, but they don't get the state of the art electronic suite.
01:23:23.000They don't get the state of the art radar.
01:23:25.000They don't get the state of the art networking capacity.
01:23:28.000And one of the things about an F 35 is it's not just a capable airplane that you can use as an attack plane, but it's kind of like they turned it into a node to communicate with the other planes and people on the ground.
01:23:40.000It's more like a networking system that they have.
01:23:47.000And I don't, not that I have any kind of, you know, inside information.
01:23:50.000I don't know, you know, I don't have any kind of specific info about that.
01:23:54.000That's exactly what you would say if you did, though.
01:23:56.000But yeah, like the U.S. I mean, the U.S. is, even when it came to like selling F 16s back in the day, like they would sell the F 16s to a bunch of different countries.
01:24:04.000There are a bunch of countries that have F 16s, but they don't, they didn't sell them with the advanced targeting packaging.
01:24:10.000They wouldn't sell it with the advanced radar.
01:24:11.000They would sell the airframe and they would sell some of the stuff, but they wouldn't give them the state of the art stuff because the U.S. I'm bored.
01:24:53.000The rumor going around is that Mitch McConnell is actually brain dead.
01:24:56.000And then so a bunch of people have said, no, I spoke to Mitch McConnell.
01:25:00.000I reached out to people on the Hill the other day when it was going around that he was dead.
01:25:04.000And again, and they said they were hearing the same thing.
01:25:08.000And they have heard the people, at least that I still talk to on the Hill, which is a lot of them, say that, yeah, he has been non responsive for a while.
01:25:27.000From ABC News, Senate Republican leaders say they've spoken to Mitch McConnell as he remains hospitalized.
01:25:33.000Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has had phone conversations with several Republican leaders as he remains hospitalized, spokespeople for the lawmakers told ABC News on Tuesday.
01:25:42.000A spokesperson for McConnell first confirmed the senator had been hospitalized on June 14th for an unknown condition.
01:25:47.000His office has not provided many updates, though they say McConnell is continuing his recovery in the hospital.
01:25:52.000Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he's receiving.
01:25:56.000I'm actually kind of dubious about that.
01:25:58.000He's receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.
01:26:03.000A McConnell spokesperson said in a statement first issued last week that ABC News has told continues to stand Tuesday.
01:26:09.000The senator continues to improve and he is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.
01:26:16.000He probably should have retired years ago as soon as he started doing the whole like, where he just like stopped.
01:26:23.000Like someone hit the pause button on him, like in front of cameras, you know?
01:26:26.000It's pretty blackpilling for a lot of Americans that see that stuff, too.
01:27:08.000I mean, and look, I'm going to, everyone's going to be like, everyone's going to be like, you know, he's the turtle and he's terrible and blah, blah, blah.
01:27:14.000And I can't, I know that I'm going to take heat for this, but remember, the reason we have the Supreme Court that we have is because Mitch McConnell knew how to prevent Merrick Garland from getting appointed, right?
01:27:33.000No, if you're going to talk about, if you're going to talk about, you know, why do these people stay in office and, you know, what's the benefit of having, People that have been there years and years and years, they know how the Senate rules work.
01:27:47.000They have the insight to be like, yo, we have this option because no one cares about how the sausage is made, but the Senate has a bunch of rules that they have to have, you know, that you have to abide by.
01:27:58.000And it's not just as easy as, oh, well, the senator says that he wants to vote for this or doesn't want to vote for that.
01:30:34.000And at that time, they were person non gratis.
01:30:38.000And they were like, no, we like the bill, but we don't want our name associated with them and wouldn't sign on to the bill, wouldn't co sponsor it, wouldn't do anything with it.
01:30:45.000And so if you're down there and you're making enemies or you're brand new and you don't know the people and know the ropes and know who to talk to, you're not going to get anything done.
01:30:52.000So it sounds like it's a popularity click.
01:30:54.000Oh, well, I think it would smash that up.
01:30:59.000You have to have people that you know and are friendly with to get anything done.
01:31:04.000And that's not just in politics, that's in anywhere.
01:31:06.000A big part of the reason why All That Remains managed to get signed is because I knew people from when I was in Shadows Fall, right?
01:31:12.000Like, we were getting good shows, we were getting good tours, we were getting on shows and stuff, and I made friends in the local industry.
01:31:20.000And so, like, when All That Remains started, Scott Lee was a promoter and a manager that had managed Shadows Fall, and he took All That Remains on because I knew him.
01:31:29.000And if it wasn't for Scott Lee, All That Remains wouldn't have been able to really get off the ground in Western Mass, and he really helped us a lot.
01:31:51.000And I'm not just talking about like they're not working in the things like that, but like how to pass legislation, how to call ledge council to actually get the proper formatting of the wording of the bill.
01:31:59.000Like, there's lots of regular infrastructure that you, it takes you two years to get acclimated to.
01:32:40.000If there's one that's, um, You know, he came from an agriculture background or another one that came from a medical background or a lawyer background.
01:32:46.000He's not going to be, you know, up to date on the next robot technology and what those limitations are or what rules and regulations should be there.
01:32:55.000So, you know, you have a ton of staff and you have to go in there and learn all of that, learn the right people to pick, to hire, to work with you underneath you, to explain those bills and trust them and research and do all the research.
01:33:08.000There's way more into it than just going, like, yeah, I'm going to go in here and vote a certain way that I think my constituents like.
01:33:14.000You really have to understand these things and get the right people around you to make that happen.
01:33:18.000So, doing that every couple years, term limits, I could say you could do term limits maybe after 15 years and stagger them or something, but it has to be really like.
01:33:35.000That would be a horrible way to do it.
01:33:36.000Well, nobody would ever even know who their congressman would be.
01:33:39.000Yeah, term limits must be your direct voice in government.
01:33:41.000Everybody likes to talk about term limits like they would solve a lot of problems, and I just don't think that it does.
01:33:45.000Well, they thought getting rid of earmarks would solve.
01:33:47.000Problems and it did nothing but deadlock the government.
01:33:49.000And then there was no bartering and it isolated people, it polarized people because you couldn't say, like, okay, I need this vote on this bill, but all right, we'll make sure that your constituents get the money for that bridge you really need built there for that infrastructure.
01:34:01.000And so there was no horse trading anymore and there was no bargaining.
01:34:04.000So at first, our politics is being able to say yes to things that don't really have a bad effect on you so that way you can get someone else to say yes to something you really want.
01:34:24.000And this is why everyone shouldn't be allowed to vote.
01:34:26.000Another thing that sounds good is getting rid of omnibus bills, which is something that Gates and I would talk about quite a bit.
01:34:31.000Yeah, getting rid of omnibus bills are actually.
01:34:33.000That's where earmarks find a place, is in omnibus spending.
01:34:36.000And that's where a lot of, like, if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours, is in omnibus spending.
01:34:40.000So without that, but then they'd actually literally have to read a thousand bills a week or whatever.
01:34:46.000Or, I mean, technically, they're supposed to read the omnibus as well, which is like a thousand pages they get and it's supposed to read it in a night.
01:34:52.000There's a way to break those up into separate bills.
01:34:54.000What ethically, what amount of time spent in Congress should be spent campaigning for your next seat?
01:35:02.000The problem with the campaigning is that, you know, it's actually probably might even get a little better though, because TV spots and radio spots cost a lot of money, right?
01:35:10.000More TV than TV, the prices are whatever, but they're extraordinary.
01:35:16.000However, you're not really, that's not the medium anymore.
01:35:20.000You can go on podcasts for free, right?
01:35:50.000I think I've spent on one of our mailers, we spent 70,000, another one, and I think it only targeted that one, like maybe I think it was like 75 to 100,000 people, and we're spending 70,000 on it.
01:36:36.000They're spending, they have to spend so much money to because money's coming in from PACs and different organizations, like, you know, like what we saw happen to Thomas Massey.
01:36:46.000And to raise that much money, what could he focus on when he has to be constantly calling people and asking them, hey, are you going to donate or, you know, doing that fundraising?
01:36:55.000So if we were to limit, like, okay, no TVNs could get better.
01:37:00.000They could have less time campaigning.
01:37:02.000But even doing a town hall, like if you do, we have telephone town halls that we do a lot, and that's about 25 to 30 grand a telephone town hall.
01:37:12.000There's just a lot of that comes out of the MRA, though.
01:37:14.000But, you know, that's why it's hard to beat an incumbent because they'll have things like telephone town halls, like in the MRA budget.
01:37:20.000But if you don't, if you're not already in office, you can't use that to reach out to your constituents.
01:37:26.000And then how do you get name ID, right?
01:37:28.000Like, how do you get recognized if you're trying to beat an incumbent?
01:37:31.000So there's tricky things that happen when it comes to money and politics and all that stuff.
01:38:16.000You're, The people that are already in Congress are constantly making touches and getting their name recognized and showing what they did for constituent services and getting people's medals or passports fixed or whatever, all those things.
01:38:27.000So they have more opportunities to reach constituents, get that name ID.
01:38:32.000There's like congressmen that are in their 80s that have been there for 50 years.
01:38:53.000Yeah, they used to, we used to call them like there's workhorses and showhorses.
01:38:57.000And so the workhorses are the congressmen you don't know about, but they're helping their constituents and trying to pass bills, and the showhorses are the showhorses, and they're doing their show thing.
01:39:05.000I would like to disincentivize these people to be cogs in a machine of just keep your mouth shut, sign the bill that the party wants you to sign that you probably didn't read, and your staff are signed off on, and just move on and raise money and get rich and maybe make a book.
01:40:10.000Reinforce the 9th and 10th Amendments so that way the states have the ability to pass the.
01:40:19.000The states have the incentive to pass the laws that they need to pass and get rid of them, you know, bring back Doge, but like times 10.
01:40:27.000Well, Congress people used to have like regular jobs that were like everybody else that they're representing.
01:40:31.000They kind of did it As, like, a side gig just to like volunteer almost.
01:40:35.000Like, there were farmers and like everything, but now every single person is like a lawyer or someone who's never actually had a job, it seems like.
01:40:41.000Well, the point is some people are just political.
01:40:43.000Look at Bernie Sanders, political his whole life.
01:40:47.000The point that Lisa, I think, the point that I think Lisa's making is like the federal government is supposed to be significantly smaller and it's not supposed to be able to do all the things that it does.
01:40:55.000That's why I brought up the necessary and proper in the Commerce Clause.
01:40:58.000The Commerce Clause has been bastardized.
01:41:00.000I forget the name of the Supreme Court case, but there is a case that was brought before the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court.
01:41:07.000Found that the federal government had the authority to regulate growing wheat on your own property to give to your own cows because the thought, the logic was, or the argument that they accepted was if you decide that you're going to grow wheat on your own property, that is something that affects interstate commerce because you're not buying wheat that might have come from another state.
01:41:30.000So, because of that, the government has the authority to regulate that.
01:41:34.000And that's not at all what the commerce clause is supposed to be.
01:42:10.000It has the authority to pass laws that are actually necessary.
01:42:13.000But the government has taken the Constitution and the limits that are put on the federal government and they have flipped it entirely on its head and they have said, okay, this actually empowers the government to do all these things.
01:42:25.000It doesn't limit the federal government, it empowers the federal government.
01:42:27.000And now you get this gigantic abomination that is DC.
01:42:31.000I have a suggestion of how to solve some of this bureaucratic nightmare.
01:44:55.000The problem there is the people that are going to be voting are the people that are motivated, not necessarily the people that are informed.
01:45:02.000You're asking for more moving parts as well, which is perfect for fraud and all of that.
01:45:09.000Are you saying, just to clarify, you're saying instead of having that representative make that vote, you're talking about everyone votes in that district?
01:46:00.000Mass deportations, mass denaturalizations.
01:46:02.000You'll probably get pretty close to getting to fixing a lot of these problems that we're talking about.
01:46:07.000I think it's a lot easier for a corporation.
01:46:09.000To bribe 435 individuals than 9 million, 9 million, 90 million people.
01:46:15.000If they really need the masses of the United States to vote for Exxon, Exxon's going to have to bribe a whole congressional district with 9 million, but I guess I understand your point.
01:46:22.000I'm saying 750,000 times 10 or whatever.
01:46:25.000I mean, you're talking about worrying about the corruption of one individual versus worrying about a million different issues with a bunch of idiots.
01:46:33.000And those people voting their own self interest.
01:46:40.000That's why you need somebody like a dictator and not one that can pass it down to their sons.
01:46:45.000But that's why you need somebody, and then you can blame that person.
01:46:47.000Well, I mean, look, if they're a dictator, then they're going to make the decision as to whether or not they're going to be able to pass it down to their sons.
01:46:52.000Understand that, but that's not like you know, you're about to start talking about Baron Trump.
01:46:58.000That's it, but that's not a real thing.
01:47:00.000You're not really arguing because if you're concerned with, I want to go back to like Roman, where like you know, Roman times, where you know, see, like it was always the people like if you look at like kings and emperors over the years, it was always the people who worked really hard and had to work to get there that were really great and benevolent dictators, really good.
01:47:19.000They were really great for the country, and it was always when you like they passed it down to their own kids and it got messy.
01:47:24.000Then the ninth leader, fifth leader down the road.
01:48:09.000So either you figure out a way to get it back to what it was, which seems almost impossible with how large it has become now.
01:48:15.000And the only way to get out of that is upheaval and implementing something.
01:48:20.000Well, or education, because I think you got to be uneducated masses need to be led by a dictator or they'll just devolve into killing each other.
01:48:27.000But the educated, Can function on their own.
01:48:30.000The educated, the college people are the ones that are actually voting for the dumb stuff.
01:48:34.000Well, really educated, like you know how to grow plants, you know how to grow corn, you know what the colors in the sky indicate the weather is going to be, like important things that, like, you know, in addition to knowing nine times seven, you know, but like the people that really know how to survive are the backbone of this country, the farmers, the cattle ranchers, and things like that.
01:49:32.000I see these people all in a room, 100 people, wherever you are at any given time, you're like, yep, these people should be making the decisions about what's in my food.
01:49:40.000Well, I mean, maybe they should have a say in what we all eat, but I'm not saying that all of us together.
01:49:45.000And then, of course, you have the Senate, the group of better men that can override any of it.
01:49:48.000That's what it was supposed to be, but it's not now that they're not elected by the state legislatures and they're elected directly by the people, and that's what the 17th Amendment is that we should repeal.
01:49:57.000I'm not advocating getting rid of the senators.
01:49:59.000I do like the Senate because I like the ability to override the masses.
01:50:12.000The reason, like, how bad it is that people don't understand that a senator, that every state gets two senators.
01:50:18.000And there are people that are upset that Wyoming has two senators and California has two senators because they think, well, there's so many more people in California.
01:50:26.000They wanted people that were involved in politics to choose who was going to be in the Senate because.
01:50:55.000The Senate is supposed to represent the interests of the individual state, not specifically the people of the state, what's best for the state itself.
01:51:07.000They were supposed to represent the elites with the head of states.
01:51:09.000All right, we're going to go to super chats now.
01:51:11.000Go to your Rumble rants and your super chats.
01:51:13.000So smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know, go on over to timcast.com, become a member there so you can join us for the after show, so you can join our Discord, and then head on over to rumble.com so you can join us for the after show.
01:51:24.000Right now, we're going to read some of your Rumble rants.
01:51:29.000MarshukaDark316 says, We already have the Communist Control Act.
01:51:33.000As it's time to enact the Socialism Control Act and the Islamist Control Act, it seems like it'd solve many issues.
01:51:39.000Look, the Communist Control Act is on the books, and I personally am one of the people that thinks that it should be enforced.
01:51:46.000You should do some kind of interview with people that are coming to the United States, and if they hold those types of views, views that are incompatible with the United States, they should be denied entry.
01:52:02.000And so, yes, the government should be selective about who we allow into the country if we're going to have immigration at all.
01:52:07.000Personally, I think we should shut immigration down for a couple years and kind of let, you know, figure out what the hell's going on.
01:52:14.000But yeah, the Communist Control Act is still in effect.
01:52:18.000The Supreme Court has heard some arguments around the freedom of speech of whether or not you're allowed to talk about this kind of stuff.
01:52:26.000And they found against the act, but the act in and of itself has not been found unconstitutional.
01:52:31.000I think that it's ridiculous to allow people from foreign countries that are hostile to your nation to become, you know, even get green cards, never mind become citizens.
01:53:16.000I mean, look, man, California's got plenty of leftists and the weather's nice, so it's hard to make an argument that going to Ann Arbor is better than going to California.
01:54:46.000A lot of the problem is bad DAs, bad judges.
01:54:49.000But if you have, like, having police on, like, a visible police force does disincentivize crime to a degree.
01:54:58.000So, like, if you have, like, you know, broken windows policing where people will get arrested for small things, it actually does have an effect on overall crime rates.
01:56:25.000Bill Dozer says, Phil, the sword missile is cool and all, but why don't we have sharks with freaking laser beams on their freaking heads yet?
01:57:45.000AK Storm says, Jocko thinks that 20% of a cop's time should be training one day a week or one week a month of hand to hand firearms, de escalation, et cetera.
01:57:53.000Do you think the shorthanded would be made up with better cops?
01:57:58.000Look, I think that, like, look, if you're a cop, you should probably at least be a blue belt in, like, jujitsu.
01:58:03.000So that way, you can restrain people and know how to do takedowns, probably a little judo so you can do takedowns and stuff.
01:58:11.000I do think that they should get a lot more training than they do.
01:58:14.000I think Jocko's idea is probably pretty good.
01:58:17.000Most police, you know, they end up using their firearm twice a year so they can qualify.
01:58:23.000And that means that most people that go to the range regularly are better shots than cops are.
01:58:30.000And you see that in the way that, you know, police body cams, the, the, The shootouts don't often look all that impressive.
01:58:37.000You know, they're not very impressive.
01:58:39.000So, personally, I think they should spend more time on training.
01:58:42.000That would mean you'd have to increase the number of law enforcement so that the cops that are actually in training are not, you know, they're taken off the beat or taken off their assignment.
01:58:58.000Forced name change says the problem with waiting for police to administer consequences is it puts the consequences low on probability scale.
01:59:04.000Hence, ineffective deterrence, immediate consequences from society is the opposite.
01:59:08.000Well, you know, there's only certain things that we can say.
01:59:10.000On YouTube, so we're going to leave it at that.
01:59:48.000I don't think there's going to be a use of nuclear weapons, but I don't think nuclear weapons are necessary to basically do significant damage to Iran, right?
01:59:58.000Like, the U.S. has a bunch of munitions, they've got a lot of bombs, and using a nuclear weapon just opens up Pandora's box for other countries to justify using it.
02:00:07.000No one's used a nuclear weapon since World War II, and I think that we all want to keep it that way.
02:00:13.000There's Plenty of ordinance that the U.S. military has.
02:02:14.000Again, smash the like button, share the show with all your friends, head on over to Rumble, become a member there, join Timcast.com's Discord.

02:07:55.000Tilly Norwood, the AI actor who sparked a frenzy of anger in Hollywood and across the wider industry in late 2025, is set to front her first feature film.
02:08:05.000Misaligned, announced by Particle Six, the AI focused studio behind Norwood.
02:08:09.000Is described as a comedy drama telling a coming of age story infused with existential AI chaos.
02:08:14.000Set inside the so called Tillyverse, a surreal digital world located somewhere up in the cloud, the film will follow Tilly, an AI being with no real body, no childhood, and no lived experience of her own, only to access everyone else's.
02:08:28.000Things spiral when a seductive rogue bot from the dark web convinces her to abandon her guardrails and begin developing desires, impulses, and ambitions, making her more human.
02:08:37.000So this whole deal is going to be like the whole thing is.
02:08:43.000Kind of like breaking the fourth wall in that she is AI, right?
02:09:28.000Instagram has like, you scroll through and they've got these like corny little sagas and they're like, they're totally AI and they have these weird storylines.
02:09:36.000I definitely get sucked into some of them.
02:10:20.000Like the whole storyline is that she's an AI, and so, like I said, they're kind of breaking the fourth wall.
02:10:26.000Like, she's obviously going to be produced as an AI movie, but the fact that it is about an AI character, it's not like she's an AI amongst other human beings that are acting in the film.
02:10:49.000Is unions they're going to be, if they're not already, they're losing their minds.
02:10:52.000They're just dumbing ourselves down by any of this, anyway.
02:10:55.000Like they did studies where people, they would have a control group where they didn't use AI for certain things.
02:11:01.000And then they would have a control group that did.
02:11:03.000And the control group that used AI, they had, you know, like a more creative or whatever project.
02:11:10.000However, after time, when they stopped using it, they actually became less creative than the first group and it stayed that way.
02:11:17.000Like even if they used it that one time in the operation, if they had four other times down the road, they weren't getting their creativity back.
02:11:26.000And so all we're really doing is just like dumbing ourselves.
02:11:28.000Down by using AI over and over and over again.
02:11:30.000So, there's an argument that Tim makes a lot.
02:11:32.000He says that, you know, AI, everyone's going to be using AI.
02:11:35.000Everyone's going to make their own films.
02:11:37.000Everyone's going to make their own stuff, and we're not going to have any kind of cohesion.
02:11:41.000Now, I, any kind of, because it used to be where, you know, everybody watched Game of Thrones and everybody talked about it the next day at work and blah, blah, blah.
02:11:50.000I think that the thing, the phenomenon that you're talking about is kind of pointing to the idea that I have, which is, Not everyone's going to want to use it, right?
02:12:00.000Like, just because everyone can do something doesn't mean everyone's going to want to do it.
02:12:05.000And there are people that aren't going to be interested in being like, oh, I want to make my own.
02:12:10.000They're going to be like, well, what is the one that, you know, what is the one that's most popular?
02:12:14.000What's the one that everybody says is good?
02:12:16.000They're looking for the social approval.
02:12:19.000And even if it's not, maybe, yeah, they're looking for the social approval of the story or the movie or whatever.
02:12:25.000And then they're going to say, well, I'll check that one out because everyone else likes it.
02:12:28.000They're not going to look for customized entertainment like, I will say that there's some of that.
02:12:33.000I think that, like, I've been on Book Talk a lot, which is like book Instagram or book.
02:13:11.000It's like TikTok, but it's like the book section of it.
02:13:15.000But I'm definitely seeing a resurgence of people very interested in classic works, which I kind of think is great as a juxtaposition to this.
02:13:50.000Yeah, I think that AI is going to be used as a tool.
02:13:54.000There's a lot of people that are like, oh, AI is going to make work go away and blah, blah, blah.
02:13:59.000And it's like, if you look at the way that companies are going right now, the people that are using AI in their businesses are actually using it to increase productivity and increase efficiency.
02:14:13.000No, You don't think it's going to work for entertainment?
02:14:16.000Yeah, I'll tell you why I don't think it's going to work for entertainment.
02:14:18.000What has made things great, movies, books, anything, was really deeply exploring the human condition.
02:14:24.000And characters with very complex parts of their personality where there's something like really good and wholesome about them, but something evil or dark in them, or, you know, these complicated characters over time, that is what has been beautiful and good, right?
02:14:39.000And people really do, whether they believe it or not, really want the beautiful and the good.
02:14:43.000And I don't think AI is going to be able to explore that human condition because it doesn't completely understand the human condition like a human could or put that nuance in there that a human could.
02:14:56.000And so, therefore, I don't think over time that will be successful.
