On this episode of the BWR Podcast, we discuss the latest in the escalating conflict between the states and the federal government, and the potential for civil war. We also talk about the recent ICE raid in Minnesota, the recent shooting of a judge in Portland, and more.
00:02:29.000The Department of Justice has issued subpoenas for Tim Waltz, Ellison, and Frey, Democrat officials in Minnesota, over alleged obstruction of ICE immigration enforcement.
00:02:44.000It looks like they're actually doing something.
00:02:45.000Subpoenas, we don't actually know what that will mean, but it's called by CBS a significant escalation in the conflict between the states and the federal government.
00:02:54.000Now, with all due respect, I know a lot of people aren't watching the Bill O'Reilly show.
00:02:58.000I don't mean to be a dick, but he did say something rather interesting on his show recently that there are 10 states that are effectively in rebellion against the federal government.
00:03:07.000Eight that are officially at the governmental level obstructing federal law enforcement, and two that are kind of on the line.
00:03:14.000They're obstructing, but they're still negotiating with Trump.
00:03:17.000This, my friends, dare I say, we are looking at the open door to what may become civil war.
00:03:24.000And it's not just about states telling the federal government, screw off, we're going to fight you.
00:04:18.000The states are explicitly stating, if we are controlled by Democrats, if the Democrats are saying if we're in power, we will strip all voices from the conservatives in our state.
00:04:30.000This is from geographic hyperpolarization due to people moving from California to Colorado or California to Texas.
00:04:37.000Now, inside these states, as Democrats take supermajorities, they are shutting out all Republican voices.
00:04:44.000In Virginia, two days after Democrats took power, they have unleashed a barrage of new laws that will tax people, that will ban certain gas-powered items, and that will effectively make it impossible for a Republican to ever win again.
00:05:01.000Now, along with all that, you may still be saying, sure, sure, that's politics.
00:05:06.000Well, based on a new poll that just got released, Daily Wire Reporting, the sentiment for assassinations in this country now exceeds 50%, with many on the right even saying they believe that Zorhan Mamdani's assassination could be justified.
00:05:21.000And on the left, obviously, it's disproportionately more on the left saying Trump's assassination as well.
00:05:26.000So I look at all this and I'm like, well, we're cooked.
00:05:29.000We're going to talk about all of that stuff.
00:05:56.000You know, I'll tell you, when it hits the fan, you're going to want to make sure you get the best hoodie imaginable because you don't know when you'll get another one.
00:06:03.000So get your bearskin now by texting Tim to 36912.
00:06:29.000These hoodies are built for serious cold weather.
00:06:31.000It's got 340 GSM of bearskin fleece, 10 legit pockets, a muscular fit.
00:06:35.000It even zips into the heavy storm rain jacket to turn into full winter waterproof armor.
00:06:40.000Whether you're into hiking, hunting, traveling, or you just hate being cold, this is the last hoodie you'll ever need.
00:06:45.000You'll get free U.S. shipping, fast delivery, and you're finally kitted out properly for the winter, so it's a win-win.
00:06:51.000Do yourself a favor, text the word Tim to 36912 to lock in your 60% off now.
00:06:57.000And when you do, you're not just getting killer gear, you're also supporting the Fallen Outdoors and Hope for the Warriors veterans program.
00:07:03.000Don't wait till you're freezing to realize your hoodie sucks.
00:07:06.000Get a bearskin now while it's still 60% off.
00:07:28.000I'm a, I guess you would call it a cultural commentator.
00:07:31.000I commentate on everything from, well, they say, you know, politics is downstream of culture.
00:07:36.000So I don't really get too much into the political side of things, but more so how it affects, you know, everybody in their day-to-day life.
00:08:50.000Let's jump into the news we got from the DOJ, CBS News reporting, subpoenas issued to Waltz, Ellison, and Frey in probe alleging immigration obstruction.
00:09:02.000The DOJ on Tuesday served subpoenas to the offices of multiple Democratic officials in Minnesota, including Governor Tim Waltz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey in connection with a probe into an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration officers.
00:09:16.000Three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.
00:09:19.000The subpoenas represent a significant escalation between the DOJ and Minnesota officials who have clashed over the Trump administration's intense crackdown against immigrants living in the state illegally.
00:09:28.000They were served on the same day that Attorney General Pam Bondi arrived for a visit in Minnesota.
00:09:56.000I say subpoenas were sent in connection with a DOJ investigation into state and local officials to see if they may have conspired to impede federal officers from discharging their duties.
00:10:06.000The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
00:10:09.000A copy of a subpoena seen by CBS does not specify which criminal violations the department is probing.
00:10:13.000However, multiple sources previously told CBS the primary statute being used as the basis for the probe is 18 USC 372, the same one that was used against some of the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
00:10:51.000I think for most people, because they watch movies and they read history books, if you're reading, like if you read an encyclopedia entry on the American Revolution, it'll say like a quick paragraph, like, due to an increase in taxes and violation of rights by the government, meetings were held by the founding fathers, which ultimately culminated in the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
00:11:13.000And then a year later, they're like, we're signing a Declaration of Independence.
00:11:16.000And you go, yeah, you said the letter, big deal.
00:11:18.000And then three months later, you get a response from the Crown.
00:11:20.000Regulars are showing up and they're like, they come all the time.
00:11:41.000They think the Civil War was like the South and the North met at Fort Sumter and then the South was like, I hear about the Clare Civil War.
00:11:47.000And then the North was like, how dare you?
00:11:50.000When actually, after the fight, there was still no civil war.
00:11:53.000After the first battle of Bull Run, there was still no civil war, even though people were dead.
00:11:58.000It wasn't until I think it was a year and a half to two years later they were like, hey, guys, this is a civil war.
00:12:02.000And then two years later, it was over.
00:12:05.000Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not particularly black pilled on all this stuff.
00:12:09.000I think that the government is going to go through the standard motions to do an investigation and stuff.
00:12:15.000Obviously, I do want to see, I would love to see all three of these guys in jail for what they've done.
00:12:21.000I think they've impeded the operations of ICE.
00:12:24.000They've encouraged people to commit acts of terrorism.
00:12:29.000So for me, it's like, all right, the ball's rolling, you know.
00:12:38.000But a lot of people, again, on Twitter, but a lot of people that are legal experts have outlined the variety.
00:12:43.000I mean, they have their pick of statutes that could bring charges forth under.
00:12:48.000So it's, again, it's interesting that they've gone with 372 seeing as it was used in J6.
00:12:55.000Again, people are pretty sour, even within MAGA.
00:12:58.000Even the most loyal Trump supporters have soured on the DOJ, the DOJ's performance.
00:13:03.000This could be the instance where they potentially win back, I think, a lot of people, including me, who have really felt like they've dropped the ball on him anyway.
00:13:10.000It's 372 is conspiracy to impede or injure an officer.
00:13:14.000I mean, if you on its face, it seems pretty obvious that they did.
00:13:20.000You know, conspiracy to impede, like the fact that they're obviously talking to each other.
00:13:25.000They're talking to the police officers.
00:13:29.000And they're like, look, this is the stuff that you want to do.
00:13:32.000We want to pull these guys back, blah, blah, blah.
00:13:34.000Anytime that they're not actually directing law enforcement to help ICE do its job, they're actually impeding.
00:13:42.000I just want to give a quick shout out if you go to this Cornell Law School to AJ Palighgar, because I guess these are advertisements for lawyers in Florida.
00:14:09.000I mean, this is something that, I mean, you've kind of been saying for a long time, civil war is coming.
00:14:15.000And like you mentioned, the nothing ever happens people always kind of scoff at that.
00:14:19.000But I think we're definitely seeing a culmination of, man, I mean, even before all of this really kind of stepped up a notch when it came to directly impeding these offices, you want to talk about these judges kind of letting immigrants like slip in through the back door of the courthouse so they don't, you know, get arrested by ICE.
00:15:58.000These guys in these countries could have walked away, but they didn't want to.
00:16:01.000Now, by all means, you can argue that, you know, the ousting or killing of a lot of these politicians was wrong, whatever your opinion is.
00:16:07.000My point is, at a certain point, when there are people who are like, I should be in charge and I refuse to give up, they get removed, they get punished in some way.
00:16:16.000I think, well, I think it's fair to say there is a conflict happening in this country.
00:16:22.000And whoever loses is going to face the consequences.
00:16:25.000Democrats are calling for putting Republicans in prison.
00:16:29.000Republicans at the ground level are, but Republican politicians are just shoving their thumbs up there, button doing nothing.
00:16:40.000Because otherwise he's just instigating and pissing them off to the point where when they do come back in power, it's going to be with an absolute vengeance.
00:16:47.000And especially with the gerrymandering that we were kind of talking about before the show, you know, setting up like permanent electoral majority in these different states.
00:16:56.000It's like, if we're going to do something, we need to actually fully do it.
00:17:02.000I mean, actually making sure that these indictments go through when it comes to subpoenas, sorry.
00:17:10.000I'm surprised that it didn't even happen, though, when it came to the healthcare conspiracy out of Minnesota.
00:17:16.000Like, why, how come there weren't any subpoenas issued over that when it came to walls, you know?
00:17:20.000Yeah, I mean, that's the thing is, like, I think there's a lot of people within the Trump administration that are aware of this.
00:17:25.000I think Trump is aware of this, but a lot of people within the DOJ, especially, it doesn't seem that they understand that at this rate, with this level of escalation, with this level of radicalism that is like persistent on the left, this is the off-ramp.
00:17:38.000Like, we are heading down the path of civil war.
00:17:41.000This is the off-ramp as decisive, strong executive power.
00:17:45.000There's no ands it for buts because the entire left-wing media and political activist soy waffen apparatus has been built on Trump as an evil fascist ISIS Gestapo.
00:17:56.000There's no common ground with these people.
00:18:18.000If you break the law, you will have your power taken from you.
00:18:23.000If you uphold the law, we will help you maintain order and status.
00:18:28.000That is, if you're a governor and the people of this country vote for a federal law to be enforced and you decide you're going to go to war with the federal government, jail.
00:18:39.000If you decide, well, there may be a lot of angry people in my state, but this is how the system is supposed to work and you work with the federal government, then I believe the federal government should come to your assistance and do what they can to help maintain order and help you.
00:19:05.000You want to side with those people who go to jail.
00:19:07.000If you say, I'm not going to let these people do it, the feds should come in and help you maintain order, arrest the rioters, get them locked up.
00:19:14.000I then think if you clean the streets up, you might actually win reelection.
00:19:19.000Because what I see from the streets, you see that video where someone did a drive-by with a squirt gun in Minnesota, drove by and sprayed the activists with water.
00:19:46.000And I'm like, I don't know, the 200,000 extremists on either side, as it always is, or Democrats seize power in the federal government and then levy war.
00:19:57.000This issue that we're seeing in Minneapolis is more like bleeding Kansas.
00:20:01.000Street level, merciless beatings, violence, law enforcement against extremists and protesters.
00:20:15.000You know what really would kick things off?
00:20:18.000If, first of all, looking at what's going on in Virginia, which we'll get into in a second with them changing the laws, 48 hours and they've basically just wiped out the state.
00:21:20.000Well, if Vance comes in and says, we're ending your second-class citizenry operations, this is where it goes national.
00:21:28.000It's localized now in Minnesota and in other parts of the country too, California, Washington.
00:21:34.000What happens if 2028 comes around and the Democrats realize you've lost and this is done?
00:21:40.000Will we actually then see a stronger resistance?
00:21:43.000Based on the level of escalation, I would say I think there's a possibility we get somewhere like that.
00:21:48.000I don't know what it looks like and I don't know what happens in between.
00:21:51.000But considering we're at the point where the DOJ has issued subpoenas against the governor, the mayor, and the AG, people are beating random people in the streets.
00:22:11.000We can't have states fight in the Fed.
00:22:13.000Yeah, I hope that kind of shifts people's perspective.
00:22:16.000I know that a lot of Republicans are kind of flirting with this idea, let's withhold our votes from Republicans for failing to come through on a lot of the promises that they made when they were campaigning for election.
00:22:30.000Teach them a lesson that, you know, if you don't follow through with the promises that you make to the people, you're not going to get reelected.
00:22:36.000But what does the other side of that look like?
00:22:38.000It's scary if the Democrats come into power.
00:22:41.000So it kind of feels like a little bit of a lose-lose situation on both sides.
00:22:45.000It's a tough calculation because, I mean, you can ask libertarians how that's worked for them, where they, again, withhold their votes expecting like a different, I understand that I guess to a degree, extensive executive power, again, these politicians is really more about holding them accountable to their promises.
00:22:58.000So it's not a one-to-one, but generally, like, it's more about who's staffing these campaigns, who's sort of in charge of implementing policy more so than like reactiveness to the base.
00:23:09.000That's just like the way that liberal democracy functions.
00:23:11.000And until we escape that, I don't think you're going to see like decisive power wielded by, maybe by the executive to a certain degree, but certainly not by Congress.
00:23:22.000Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk real civil war because you're probably saying, Tim, people fighting in the street does not a civil war make Tim.
00:24:21.000This is people in California moving to Texas and Washington to Utah, people in New York to Florida.
00:24:27.000You're getting hyper-concentrations of single political ideologies in certain areas.
00:24:32.000That's the geographic hyperpolarization.
00:24:34.000And now, with a weakened political base, Republicans in blue states and Democrats in red states are getting removed from the political equation as predicted with the latest being in Maryland.
00:24:46.000Maryland's Redistricting Advisory Commission has recommended a new 8-0 congressional map and sent it to Westmore.
00:24:53.000Christian Hines with the viral tweet saying, between this and Virginia, Democrats will have actually won the 25-26 phase of the redistricting wars, unless Indiana has a change of heart, Florida gets involved, or the VRA is struck down, the Voting Rights Act.
00:25:07.000And if both of these states redraw dem favoring lines without any further action from red states, Democrats will probably have a 95-plus percent chance of flipping the House in November.
00:25:16.000They wouldn't even need to flip any of the remaining toss-up seats around the country, including several districts they're already favored to win.
00:25:25.000That is, based on this map from 270 to win, based on redistricting, if Republicans do not play the game as well, Democrats don't even need to win an election.
00:26:05.000Effectively, Democrats are going to win the House, which is extremely tight as it is, not by convincing the American people, but by in their states utilizing their majority powers to eliminate Republicans from the equation.
00:26:20.000That means for the 40-plus percent of Republicans who may live in these states, you will no longer have a say and the Democrats are not going to let you ever have power again.
00:26:49.000They're going to do everything they can to make sure that Democrats don't ever lose again.
00:26:54.000We were talking about this last night.
00:26:56.000The Democrats thought that they had a permanent control of power when Barack Obama won.
00:27:02.000They figured the Republicans were going to be relegated to a regional party, and it would be the real competition was going to be who the Democrat nominee was.
00:27:11.000And they would have, you know, they would have whoever their guy was go against the Republican.
00:27:16.000If this happens, you can forget about ever having a Republican again.
00:27:22.000Like it will be one party control, and then the rest of the whole United States will turn into California.
00:27:28.000California's terrible budget situation, California's terrible immigration situation, California's inability to retain people, like all the people that, and globally, the United States is the last place to go.
00:27:41.000So this is, it doesn't get more important than voting in this next coming election and in 2028.
00:27:49.000And this is something that I was saying on the pre-show.
00:27:51.000People like to say, oh, this is not the most important election.
00:27:54.000Everyone always says this is the most important election.
00:27:57.000Because we are human beings that exist in linear time, every election is the most important election ever because that's the only one you can vote in at that time.
00:28:07.000The elections that happened in the past, you can't change them.
00:28:10.000The elections that are coming in the future, you can't touch them.
00:28:13.000So the only ones that matter are the ones that you can affect right now.
00:28:16.000So the next election in 26 is the most important election ever after that, the 28 one is the most important ever.
00:28:22.000Why didn't they do this when Trump apparently had the election stolen from him?
00:29:14.000If I were to tell you that, or let me just leave it like this.
00:29:18.000Do you believe that the example I love using is Dave Rubin.
00:29:23.000Dave Rubin is going to lead a group of angry, violent extremists to a corporate headquarters throwing firebombs because they censored him or someone else.
00:29:34.000Now, if I told you that some progressive leftist did, you'd be like, what do you mean that happened yesterday in Minneapolis?
00:29:39.000The point is conservatives don't get violent.
00:29:42.000So the Republicans go, my only fear is the left.
00:29:46.000That means if I actually stand up and say I should fight for this country, no one on the right's going to get my back and no one, and the left will try to kill me.
00:29:55.000If I demure and just say, well, you know, we got to have decorum here, Republicans will only complain and the Democrats will leave my family alone.
00:30:03.000But they still do just enough to antagonize the left to make them want to do that.
00:30:20.000This is something that we've talked about a little bit on the show.
00:30:23.000The idea that Republicans are the reason why Democrats behave the way that they do or that the Republicans could do something to prevent them from behaving the way they do, I don't buy it at all.
00:30:34.000That's why I was saying like this election that's coming up.
00:30:36.000No matter what happens, the Democrats will do everything they can to consolidate power.
00:30:41.000If the Republicans win, then the Republicans have a chance.
00:30:44.000If they don't win, they're going to do everything.
00:31:52.000And if you read the literature on this stuff, the reason why people stayed behind and were like, I don't think it'll ever get that bad.
00:31:59.000So after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, we ripped the conversation.
00:32:02.000And I said, you know, look, we're discussing whether or not we can keep doing this show the way we do it because we're relatively exposed, right?
00:32:35.000Today, this show probably gets 10 million views or more per episode, not on this channel or on Rumble or on podcasts, but because clips are made.
00:32:45.000And the show is then shared all over the place.
00:32:47.000And so what happens is my face, Ian's face, our guest, Phil, Tate, Serge, everybody who's on the show has exposure to tens of millions of people through these clips, especially when they're taken out of context.
00:33:00.000This creates a massive risk, death threats, et cetera.
00:33:09.000And we don't have the ability to monetize against those views.
00:33:12.000So we get a massive spike in attention without the ability to generate the revenue that typically was used to provide security and this access.
00:33:19.000It's funny because after that conversation, then a couple of months later, we had a drive-by shooting.
00:33:23.000Three shots were fired at our property.
00:33:24.000Hence, we're now in Florida trying to figure out how to move forward.
00:33:27.000Right now, what I'm looking at is the elections that mattered were three, four, five years ago, the elections that mattered.
00:33:38.000Virginia, the election that mattered was the one that just happened, to be completely honest, because we'll jump in in a second, but they've basically just steamrolled.
00:33:46.000I mean, the Democrats have made moves in Virginia in 48 hours that scream communist revolution.
00:34:17.000Based on the demographic makeup of the districts that they've decided, if you're a Democrat living in a Republican district, you may get through in Indiana because they didn't change it.
00:34:28.000But in most of these Democrat states, Republican votes are effectively gone.
00:34:31.000So what do you do if you're a Republican?
00:34:59.000The people who are moderates who lived in blue areas in the past four years moved to Texas and Florida.
00:35:06.000So this area is a high density of people who share a moral worldview with us.
00:35:10.000In West Virginia, which is very based, it's true, but borders Virginia, where when we go for food five minutes south, we're in Virginia where people are flying pride flags.
00:35:20.000You go to Maryland, we go to some of our favorite restaurants, they fly a pride flag above City Hall, and that's where the conflict exists.
00:35:50.000Well, and Tim, I totally agree with, because I don't really buy like the, you know, the idea that it's like, okay, well, every election ramps up importance.
00:35:58.000Like 1992, the Republican primary, if Pat Buchanan won, we would have been out of this mess already.
00:36:03.000Like we would have mopped this up 30 years ago.
00:36:05.000And because this illustrates with the redistricting battle, this illustrates the point that I think Oren McIntyre had made where it's like, look, all a democracy is at this point, all an election is at this point is simply a census.
00:36:16.000All you're doing is just counting what the demographics are of your district.
00:36:20.000There's no like swinging voters anymore.
00:36:22.000And it drives me absolutely like mad that the Republicans, their only like way they're actually fighting back is like this wholesome chungus like voter drives that you're seeing where they're like, I registered 10,000 people at a gas station and it's like sick.
00:36:35.000And then the election comes along, we get blown out.
00:36:39.000The only way we're actually going to compete again is like returning what the Democrats are actually doing, which is again, just shoring up your vote.
00:38:33.000I mean, there's literally, there's a show that Republicans have no idea what time it is.
00:38:36.000There's literally a state senator in Indiana.
00:38:38.000His name was Mike something along those lines.
00:38:40.000And when Trump called Tim Waltz retarded, which was hilarious and true, he literally came out and he was like, I'm a man of integrity and like I know people in my family that have Down syndrome or whatever.
00:38:51.000And I'm going to vote no on the redistricting bill because Trump is said retarded.
00:39:17.000And I remember talking with Shane Smith, the CEO, who was always a really good dude as far as I knew, despite, you know, obviously there's public criticisms.
00:39:27.000He was talking about, I think he was 45 at the time and I was 28 or something, or what was that, 27?
00:39:33.000And he was talking about how cable TV was it and they really wanted to get a cable channel and that was the dream.
00:39:39.000And I'm sitting there going like, what are you talking about?
00:39:41.000I don't know anybody who watches cable TV.
00:40:36.000They don't understand what time it is because they don't live in the real world.
00:40:41.000What's going to happen is young people are radicalized, older people less likely.
00:40:47.000And as I've said a million times, when the boomers die and they're at the mortality cliff right now at 79 years old, we are going to see millennials inheriting a lot more power.
00:40:57.000And then I can hear that Gen Xers complaining that they were left out.
00:40:59.000No, it's because Gen Xers are normal and stable.
00:41:02.000The millennials are where you start getting lunatics.
00:41:04.000And then Gen Z is where everyone's lost their mind.
00:41:07.000By the time Gen Z is in their mid-30s and they're controlling corporations and they are the ones in office and they will be, they are going to be, it's going to be full-scale conflict, right?
00:41:16.000Let's jump to this next story from the New York Sun and give you the breakdown.
00:41:20.000Virginia Democrats propose a raft of new taxes after taking state government trifecta.
00:43:08.000So that means there is the National Popular Vote Compact, where a series of states have an agreement with each other that should the popular vote swing one way and their states have the power to affect the Electoral College, they will vote for whoever won the popular vote, not the state vote, not the Electoral College vote.
00:43:28.000Once you get a certain number, they're fairly close.
00:43:31.000Once a certain number of states sign on, which I think might be like 35 or 36 or something like that, there will no longer be an electoral college.
00:43:39.000And this effectively means what you are seeing in Maryland, in Virginia, where they are wiping out Republican voices, this country will become pure Democrat and Republicans will become second-class citizens with no voice whatsoever in politics.
00:43:55.000Because with the National Popular Vote Compact, well, there's a lot of arguments about how it would play out.
00:44:00.000One is that you've got, what is it, you know, 20 million, how many, we're 10 million Republicans.
00:44:50.000That's four years of Glenn Young gone with the sign of a pen.
00:44:54.000Unironically, because the Virginia Republicans, they have this genius idea where they're like, hey, maybe we can step into the left's framework and then beat them at their own game.
00:45:02.000It's like, let's run a base black woman and she's going to carry a gun around and she's going to talk about how the Democrats are the real racists.
00:45:09.000Four years of Glenn Young down the garden.
00:45:24.000Gone like that, just because, again, the Republicans want to have a one over on Democrats because they're just so desperate to get approval from like the gay zeitgeist.
00:45:32.000Here's what's going to happen: Virginia's new bills are going to result in gun owners, many of them fleeing, wealthy individuals fleeing.
00:45:42.000It's going to cause massive problems for the state budget.
00:45:44.000California is expected to lose a trillion dollars, a trillion dollars because of their wealth tax proposal.
00:45:55.000It's going to happen to Virginia as well.
00:45:57.000The conditions are going to cause more anger.
00:46:00.000And what do we see in places like Venezuela?
00:46:02.000When the Venezuelan retard government destroyed their economy with retard communist policies, instead of saying, guys, I think we're retarded, they said, it's not our fault.
00:46:13.000It's the imperialists who are destroying our country.
00:46:31.000When the extremely rich leave, they're going to pass those taxes on to the people that they say are the millionaires.
00:46:39.000But at least in California, the property tax that they're talking about, it's any property you own.
00:46:44.000I've got a friend that's like maybe, maybe he has a million bucks, but probably not.
00:46:49.000He's definitely not a multi-millionaire, but his house is in Lakewood and it's a nice area and it's worth a million dollars.
00:46:56.000Now, it's two stories, maybe, I think there's probably four or five rooms or whatever.
00:47:01.000It's a normal, what you would consider a normal house.
00:47:03.000If you looked at that, you take that house and you put it in South Carolina, it's probably $400,000, right?
00:47:08.000Like it's a nice house, but it's not some kind of extravagancy.
00:47:12.000He's going to be treated like a millionaire.
00:47:14.000They're going to tax him as if he's a millionaire.
00:47:16.000When the billionaires leave, they're going to go after the middle class.
00:47:20.000This is what happens in socialist countries all the time.
00:47:23.000That's why you end up with no middle class and a huge poor population and only the extremely rich and wealthy people that are connected that can get around it.
00:47:33.000They're going to destroy California if that passes.
00:47:36.000And you're going to see that move happening in other states as well.
00:47:55.000Well, they're going to look at that and they'd be like, well, maybe we're going to go somewhere else.
00:47:59.000Well, this is what makes Virginia an interest.
00:48:00.000It's kind of an interesting exception because most of the people there aren't there for like a favorable business environment.
00:48:05.000They're there for proximity to Washington, D.C. without having to get hammered on D.C. taxes.
00:48:09.000Now, again, this could be enough to maybe persuade them to move somewhere else, but they don't really have much of an option.
00:48:14.000One thing that's interesting is the National GOP does have a trick up their sleeve if they, again, were so brave to do it, is they could just revoke the secession of Arlington, which they, again, they ceded Arlington and Alexandria to the state of Virginia.
00:51:13.000He probably is doing a lot of important things behind the scenes that maybe we do not know or understand, or he's delegated these things to other people in his cabinet, right?
00:51:23.000But it just seems like when you look at it on the face of things, it seems like he's been too busy, like renaming things, like, you know, Gulf of America, Department of War.
00:51:32.000It's like, who cares about these things?
00:51:42.000Like, the optics of it on the face is that he's not doing anything.
00:51:46.000Does he not care about the way that it looks?
00:51:48.000I mean, to kind of do a little side note, even did you guys see the event that they threw at Mar-a-Lager over the weekend with the furries?
00:51:56.000They literally, it was like some humane society event that they were running where basically they were liberal slop.
00:52:02.000Yeah, yeah, but they literally had people wearing essentially furry mosques.
00:52:07.000And are we forgetting about the fact that literally three months ago, Tim Dylan said this on his podcast, Charlie Kirk was assassinated by the boyfriend of a furry.
00:52:29.000Does he not even care about the optics of how it looks to everybody else?
00:52:34.000It was for like the Humane Society awarding like dogs.
00:52:40.000I think because the Humane Society, and this is splitting hairs, and I think that I agree with you on the optics of it, but I think that if you're going to steal me on what's going on, this wasn't about furries because furries is a whole LGBT connected, generally LGBT connected, weird fetish thing.
00:52:59.000Whereas this was set up by the Humane Society or whatever, and it was about animals, not about furries.
00:53:40.000Women are more likely to support political assassinations.
00:53:42.000Now, you know what I don't like about this headline, Daily Wire, is that the actual study is majority of Americans find killing of Trump or Mamdani justified.
00:55:34.000However, for your run-of-the-mill, regular old conservative, looks like about half of them are saying Trump won't do it and something needs to be done.
00:55:56.000The question was not that do you want to assassinate, but are there, it was something like, are there circumstances in which the assassination of Mamdani would be justified?
00:56:06.000And around half of Republicans said yes.
00:56:33.000And it's probably largely because of like super online people.
00:56:38.000You know, this kind of rhetoric is something that you will see just on TikTok all the time.
00:56:44.000I mean, you can go and look at how many people, the way people reacted to Charlie Kirk or to Donald Trump getting the attack on Donald Trump and stuff, there are a lot of people that think that this is just a game.
00:56:55.000Like Tim's made the point, good, the lady that was shot in Minneapolis.
00:57:01.000Her wife was hollering, why did you have real bullets?
00:57:04.000As if law enforcement would ever not have real bullets.
00:57:08.000Like there is a distinction between riot control and regular law enforcement.
00:57:14.000Regular law enforcement has actually interesting.
00:57:19.000However, they excised participants, around 1,170, for lack of quality responses.
00:57:27.000They were filtered out, leading to a final sample of 1,055 balanced on gender, race, ethnicity, age, and education.
00:57:33.000On a U.S. census, on U.S. Census benchmarks, additionally, the sample was weighted on age, four categories, race, five categories, gender, three categories, and education, four categories.
00:58:38.000And on the right, they say the same thing for Trump.
00:58:40.000People on the right say there is some justification for murdering Trump.
00:58:43.000The point is, it's not a, do you want to do it?
00:58:47.000It's, do you think, like, it's, it's, it's, when I saw that 42% of people right of center agreed there was some justification for the murder of Trump.
00:58:57.000It's not a question of whether they want it to happen.
00:58:59.000It's whether they perceive these individuals have doing, as having done things that someone would be like, he must be stopped.
00:59:18.000It's not like the chaos and tumult that could ensue is not people don't far ahead.
00:59:24.000Yeah, they're disconnected from the real outcomes and people are being radicalized online, specifically women.
00:59:30.000Like they have specifically, so I'm not surprised by the title of this headline.
00:59:34.000They've been very good at radicalizing women in politics.
00:59:37.000And when you look at social media platforms, the issue is, you know, on TikTok, you're talking about the content over there.
00:59:44.000Like a lot of right-wing content gets censored on TikTok.
00:59:47.000So it's leftist voices that are projected.
00:59:50.000And this is the dominant influence that women are receiving because they don't even have the option of seeing this right-wing content in a lot of instances.
00:59:58.000I mean, it was just like a few years ago, a year ago, literally, you couldn't even put Nick Fuentes in the title of a YouTube video.
01:00:06.000You had to like put asterisks on it to prevent the video from being taken down.
01:00:10.000So the amount of right-wing content that is censored versus left-wing content has resulted in radicalization of women.
01:00:19.000I mean, to me, it makes perfect sense.
01:01:18.000Well, I mean, I'm not a repeal the 19th guy because it doesn't go nearly far enough.
01:01:22.000I think that the people that I think that there should be a specific class of people that are allowed to vote, maybe property owners or business owners.
01:01:30.000But I don't think I think there are plenty of women that should, plenty of women that should be allowed to vote.
01:01:36.000But I don't think that it should be just blanket all women.
01:01:39.000But I do think that it should be, there should be a certain group of people that pass tests and who have the responsibility and understand the responsibility of the vote.
01:01:52.000And yet just illegal aliens and dead people are voting.
01:01:55.000So, I mean, I don't think whether you're an illegal alien, I think if you're a first-generation person, you've emigrated to the United States, you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
01:03:40.000Well, honestly, with some of the political opinions that I've espoused, I wouldn't be surprised if I went back, they would not let me in or they'd be waiting there to like arrest me or something, perhaps.
01:03:58.000Look, America's the last bastion of actual liberty.
01:04:03.000And it's come down to, you know, maybe half the country or maybe two-thirds of the country actually respects the things that were laid out in the constitution and actually cares about the things that the founders actually cared about.
01:04:16.000Yeah, but like that's, I mean, like that's the whole point of like me and Connors Across the Pond show is to illustrate like, look, the Anglosphere, even though Australia, New Zealand, the UK are further down the road than we are, again, they are all part of the same sort of philosophical like heritage track.
01:04:30.000And so, again, Australia and the UK are just, they're cousins.
01:04:32.000So they're indicators of what could realistically play out in the U.S.
01:04:35.000And Australia, you're seeing, you're seeing the mass migration completely overhauling society.
01:04:39.000You're seeing, again, a lot of the heritage Australians just tacking off to the left.
01:04:43.000And it's like, okay, they're just really 20 years ahead, maybe 10 years ahead of what realistically could occur in the U.S.
01:04:49.000Yeah, and we should be putting measures in place now to ensure that that does not happen.
01:04:52.000When it comes to Australia, I see it as like a twofold thing.
01:04:55.000They're like, number one, they're importing the third world.
01:04:59.000They're trying to flood it with as many immigrants as possible to cause chaos because they want their problem reaction solution playbook.
01:05:05.000So they're importing the third world, but they're simultaneously implementing all of these super dystopian policies, like their digital ID that they're now mandating, which is basically going to be the thing that underpins a social credit score.
01:05:18.000Like, I would not be surprised if Australia becomes the first country in the West to basically reflect communist China in everything other than name.
01:05:27.000Yeah, you're certainly naming the reflected demographics.
01:05:30.000There's so many Chinese people moved to Australia's crazy.
01:05:33.000I mean, I saw a video that was like spot the Australian around New Year's.
01:06:17.000I'm Mark Rule, Police Chief of City of Brooklyn Park.
01:06:20.000Behind me is a bunch of amazing police chiefs that are here in support of a very short but very important message that we want to share with you.
01:06:28.000What you won't hear from any of us today is rhetoric of abolish ICE or that there shouldn't be immigration enforcement.
01:06:37.000The truth is, immigration enforcement is necessary for our national security and for local security.
01:06:43.000But how it's done is extremely important.
01:06:47.000In fact, we have a long history of working exceptionally well with our federal partners, including ICE agents.
01:06:54.000And we have seen the best of them perform their job extremely well in the past.
01:06:59.000With that said, recently, as the last two weeks, we as law enforcement community have been receiving endless complaints about civil rights violations in our streets from U.S. citizens.
01:07:16.000What we're hearing is they're being stopped in traffic stops or on the street with no cause and being forced to demand paperwork to determine if they are here legally.
01:07:30.000As this went on over the past two weeks, we started hearing from our police officers the same complaints as they fell victim to this while off duty.
01:07:40.000Every one of these individuals is a person of color who has had this happen to them.
01:07:46.000In Brooklyn Park, one particular officer that shared her story with me was stopped as she passed ICE going down the roadway.
01:07:55.000When they boxed her in, they demanded her paperwork, of which she's a U.S. citizen and clearly would not have any paperwork.
01:08:02.000When she became concerned about the rhetoric and the way she was being treated, she pulled out her phone.
01:08:07.000In an attempt to record the incident, the phone was knocked out of her hands, prevented her from recording it.
01:08:15.000The officer had their guns drawn during this interaction.
01:08:21.000And after the officer became so concerned, they were forced to identify themselves as a Brooklyn Park police officer in hopes of slowing the incident and de-escalating the incident down.
01:08:30.000The agents then immediately left after hearing this, making no other comments, no other apologies, just got in their vehicles and left.
01:08:39.000I wish I could tell you that this was an isolated incident.
01:08:42.000In fact, many of the chiefs standing behind me have similar incidents with their off-duty officers.
01:08:47.000This isn't just important because it happened to off-duty police officers, but what it did do is we know that our officers know what the Constitution is, they know what right and wrong is, and they know when people are being targeted.
01:09:02.000I'm going to tell you right now, this is what war looks like.
01:09:06.000The Conservatives are going to say, ICE is justified because we've had 20 million illegal immigrants and we are trying to get the worst of the worst out of the country.
01:09:16.000It's not a big deal to get stopped and ask for your ID.
01:09:34.000There are certainly a lot of people that I never understood this.
01:09:38.000I certainly get you don't want your civil rights violated, but a cop stopping you within reason saying, excuse me, we're concerned about certain criminal activity in the area.
01:10:15.000I certainly think, as I said last year, that ICE needs to be 200% above board.
01:10:20.000They should be wearing khakis and polo shirts as they conduct these operations because it's going to be weaponized against them.
01:10:27.000Trump will lose the election in the midterms if it looks scary to regular people.
01:10:30.000That being said, conservatives will largely defend it and say, look, if you're a cop and they come up to you and ask for ID, why are you fighting with them?
01:10:40.000Why would another cop she could say, certainly I'm an officer with the, you know, what was the name of the city?
01:11:00.000But the one thing that matters, your opinion on it, immaterial.
01:11:03.000The police have come out and issued a statement against federal law enforcement, expressing the conflict and the division.
01:11:11.000This, in my view, I don't see a path towards de-escalation.
01:11:15.000Unless Trump does some kind of insurrection act, goes in and then assumes domestic law enforcement operations, you are going to see more local law enforcement coming out and escalating the division between federal and local law enforcement.
01:11:30.000If the whole purpose of this ICE operation is to reduce harm by removing bad people, and the way you do that is by creating even worse people, people who will fight you even harder than what those immigrants might have done.
01:12:01.000But I do think that if ICE is being this heavy-handed, not that I have, you know, have any kind of serious moral problem with people showing the police their ID or law enforcement their ID, but the fact that the police chief is getting on TV and talking about it, to Tim's point, it is really bad for optics.
01:12:23.000And I do think that this is something that the administration and the DOJ really need to be careful about.
01:12:33.000You don't want to have this as something that's in the front of people's minds.
01:12:38.000It's bad enough that to deport people and wrap them up makes, you know, makes ICE and DOJ look like they're using too much force, particularly because the left's going to do whatever they can to make it look like they're using too much force.
01:12:53.000They're going to go out there and they're going to try and inhibit their activities and stuff.
01:14:40.000The liberals are complaining about it, and the DHS is carrying on.
01:14:43.000So they can either play it straight, pull back, and say, we got to make sure every interaction is so far beyond board, above board, that this doesn't happen.
01:14:54.000Come out and give a reasonable approach and say, these things happen in law enforcement operations.
01:15:22.000And that's why you're getting things like, did you guys see the woman who was trying to intercept ICE offices when they were actually trying to carry out like a pedophile like sting operation?
01:15:35.000And the cops went to a house where it's the known address for two wanted pedophiles.
01:15:41.000And there was a guy in the house who was temporarily detained because they need to search the house for two wanted illegal immigrant pedophiles.
01:15:48.000And there's this young blonde liberal man crying.
01:16:19.000When this cop says, here's another problem.
01:16:21.000We're getting a bunch of calls about our rights being violated.
01:16:24.000I don't believe it's real for a second.
01:16:26.000I don't believe it's real for a second.
01:16:27.000If a regular, if you're walking down the street and a cop stops you and says, excuse me, sir, I hate to trouble you, but we're on the lookout for a certain individual.
01:16:35.000Would you mind showing us your ID just so we can make sure, you know, it's not you?
01:16:39.000Most people are going to be like, oh, okay, I guess.
01:16:41.000And they're going to show the idea and they're going to be like, sorry to bother you.
01:16:44.000Now, imagine if before that happens, this guy's hearing from his friends being like, dude, these guys will stop you and ask for your ID and then stab you and they'll stab you.
01:17:49.000My concern is The people who are largely uninitiated, which there are very few still, but also there is the initiated center lane, the like the Rogan crowd, we can call it, right?
01:18:58.000Now with ICE going out, new optics are emerging.
01:19:01.000People are getting freaked out by guys in masks with guns going door to door and arresting people and the narrative about Nazis and Gestapo and Trump losing.
01:19:11.000So the questions are once again posed in the mind of the normie.
01:21:02.000That's what I was saying at the start of the podcast.
01:21:05.000It seems like he's been more concerned with renaming things than actually focused on carrying out his initial business.
01:21:11.000But that's how it looks to the uninitiated people.
01:21:14.000I think a lot of people are more uninitiated than what we think because we're so immersed in this space.
01:21:19.000Like we think that everybody, because most of the people that we interact with and talk to on a day-to-day basis are involved in this space.
01:21:26.000But I think there's still a lot of Americans who.
01:21:29.000A lot of Americans, but proportionally, not a lot of Americans, right?
01:21:32.000So a lot could be a couple, you know, 10, 20 million.
01:21:35.000And we're like, there's a lot of people who don't, but that's less than 10%.
01:21:44.000The Epstein stuff plays well in the beltway.
01:21:47.000But for regular people, they're like, man, I'm just concerned about the price economics.
01:21:52.000But very few people I interact with don't have, like, when I go out on the weekends, most people that I encounter are familiar with what's going on to a certain degree.
01:22:05.000Yeah, I encountered one guy recently who was like, I don't watch the news.
01:22:52.000But in terms of politics, the people that I engage with typically every week are a spattering across the board a variety of people I talk to all day, all the time.
01:23:00.000It's one of the reasons I love playing poker.
01:23:01.000People come in and out, and I'm hanging out with Robbie, and we're asking people what they do for a living, and we're asking them questions.
01:23:08.000I often don't talk, I don't talk about myself all that often when I'm at these tables.
01:23:11.000If someone doesn't know who I am, I'll just be like, what do you do for a living?
01:23:16.000A lot of engineers, seriously, a lot of engineers.
01:23:19.000They want to make good money engineers.
01:23:20.000It would be interesting to do like a man on the street thing and go out and just talk to as many people as possible and find out how politically knowledgeable they are.
01:23:27.000That's actually something that I may do to kind of test it.
01:24:11.000If you look like, if you look last night on the timeline, like everyone was talking about Tim Cast and Nick Funtes, like that was dominating the political side, guys.
01:24:17.000Guarantee you, Google Trends last night, look at Miami versus Indiana, probably like 20 times as large as that.
01:24:23.000That was the biggest political story of that night.
01:25:46.000But that also begs the question, is it more in like cities like Florida or New York or Washington?
01:25:53.000What about the more remote areas and things like this?
01:25:55.000That constitutes a large portion of the population.
01:25:57.000I'd be curious if they have strong political leadings and investments as well.
01:26:02.000Yeah, people won't want to hear it, but it's like a political, at least it's like as far as people keep up with politics, is very stratified by class.
01:26:09.000Again, people don't want to hear that because it cuts against like what a lot of the rhetoric is, especially on the populist right, but it's true.
01:26:13.000Like when I think about my upbringing, suburban Memphis, very traditional, sort of normal upbringing.
01:26:19.000I have like maybe three or four friends will text me, like in group chats with 30, 40 people, like three or four of them that are like interested in politics.
01:26:26.000They're like, this is funny, da-da-da-da.
01:26:27.000Compared to like when I lived in Manhattan, every single person that I know from my time in Manhattan, liberal or conservative, is like constantly texting me different things or arguing, trying to argue with me, and I get blocked pretty quickly.
01:29:12.000I called this actually way back in, I think, June on HerTake podcast when a lot of the big banks were flooding the market with fake sell orders, like a ridiculous amount of fake sell orders to try to manipulate the price because a lot of banksters, a lot of banksters are over-leveraged in these short positions.
01:29:32.000And we've reached a point now where people are demanding the actual physical asset.
01:29:38.000That's one of the reasons trying to stop exporting it.
01:29:41.000And now, real world price of silver and the paper market have officially decoupled.
01:30:37.000Well, particularly with inflation, the printing of money.
01:30:39.000Otherwise, you didn't need to because silver was money.
01:30:41.000So the issue now is the price skyrocketing, I believe, is at least somewhat indicative of people in the know are trying to get their hands on precious metals because the US dollar is about to go belly up.
01:34:17.000I mean, look, if a World War III actually broke out, and I don't mean some stupid, is this World War II?
01:34:21.000No, I mean like literally Russia launches a missile strike on Poland to stop NATO troops coming in or Trump makes a move on Greenland, then Russia reacts instantly and something happens or Venezuela triggers a move on Taiwan.
01:34:35.000The moment that happens and you get an American politician saying, we now have war on every front in the world.
01:36:00.000There's another play here, and that's, of course, AI.
01:36:03.000And I think one of the issues that these data centers are outright saying, guys, we could increase our productivity, you know, 3X if we were using silver instead of copper.
01:36:16.000The price is meaningless to the, like, listen.
01:36:20.000Let me tell you how horrifying things are.
01:36:22.000Viral videos across TikTok and Instagram where a guy is talking, so it's a vertical video, and there's a small window of a guy, and he's talking.
01:36:30.000And then there's some busty young woman talking in the exact same video.
01:36:44.000And the girl is moving and saying it like she's the guy.
01:36:46.000And then the voice slowly turns into the female voice, which is like, I can teach you how to make things just like this.
01:36:52.000And then they sell courses on this stuff.
01:36:54.000Then all these AI slot vision popping up.
01:36:56.000We talked about it last year, two years ago, how there's Instagram thoughts that are just AI generated and they were weird looking, but now they're getting better and better.
01:37:06.000And there's also the AI generated news videos, which are making $150K per month.
01:37:12.000There's a video I saw where it was this guy talking about how he makes, he has it, he makes animal videos on Sora.
01:37:18.000And it's just like, make a video of a dog saving a baby from a snake.
01:37:22.000And then he helps it to YouTube and boom, 500,000 views.
01:38:12.000And then you could probably generate $20 billion in a few months.
01:38:14.000Yeah, it's kind of like the way you have politicians not able to buy and trade stocks.
01:38:17.000You might want to have AI corporations not able to buy and trade.
01:38:20.000There was a move being done in crypto called, I think it was crypto arbitrage, it was called, where basically computers could track a sell or buy order faster than a human could.
01:38:30.000And as soon as the human put the order in, the computer would execute a sale to get a fee and then intercept the transaction.
01:38:37.000So it would take percentages of the sales and generate revenue for nothing.
01:38:41.000There are stories of people who are doing Ethereum arbitrage, making millions of dollars per month.
01:38:45.000And no one noticed because all they were doing was basically saying if someone puts in an order, we're to do a quick buy and sell.
01:38:51.000Because the way it works is you'll say, like, I'm willing to bid up to three grand for an Ethereum.
01:38:55.000And then the price could fluctuate a little bit.
01:38:58.000The AI, and this is rudimentary machine, like this is well before ChatGPT, would see the order come in and then execute a trade really quickly to get a thin market.
01:39:08.000Like a hedge, like a buy and sell order simultaneously so you can't lose either way, basically.
01:39:13.000You could edit it up on multiple networks.
01:39:14.000Somebody says, I'd like to buy Ethereum and I'm willing to pay $3,000 for it.
01:39:18.000The AI sees the order go in and quickly acquires the Ethereum and sells it to the person.
01:39:23.000It intercepts the order and executes it faster so that it gets, I'm, interesting.
01:39:29.000You got to look at how it works because I'm not exactly sure.
01:39:32.000The general idea was in stocks as well.
01:39:37.000If a computer can execute trades faster than you and it can see you doing it in a millisecond, then when you say, I'm willing to buy at 3,000 and the price is fluctuating, it attacks the fluctuation to do a quick trade so that it can monetize your transaction.
01:39:52.000Something that affected, and I'm probably butchering the explanation, but the gist of it was basically intercepting crypto exchange transactions to generate tiny profits on their end.
01:40:03.000But it's a machine doing tens of thousands per hour.
01:40:05.000So the person's making millions of dollars a year.
01:40:24.000When they've released this data, when they put out the experiment where they said they put ChatGPT online, it immediately started trying to make money, manipulating stocks and things like this.
01:40:33.000Not manipulating, but buying and trading stocks.
01:40:35.000And it can see the trades faster than you, so it knows exactly what's going to happen.
01:40:38.000It can see the orders come in so quick, it knows when to get in and when to get out.
01:40:43.000So my point is they're generating billions of dollars they don't care about and they're probably saying just buy it this way.
01:41:22.000Use code pool or slash pool and get up to 50% off.
01:41:28.000As I'm sure you've heard this week, TransUnion confirmed the data breach that affects over 4 million people.
01:41:32.000It's a prime example of why it's so important for people to have products like Webroot Total Protection, which includes identity protection for up to 10 identities, up to a million dollars in fraud expense reimbursement, 24-7 U.S.-based customer support and elder fraud hotline.
01:42:14.000So you'll also get antivirus, VPM, cloud backup, so you're protected holistically.
01:42:19.000Web Root Total Protection is an all-in-one device, privacy and identity protection that can keep you safe in the event that your personal data is compromised.
01:42:27.000If your identity is stolen, it can take between 100 and 200 hours to resolve it on your own.
01:42:31.000But not if you have Web Root Total Protection.
01:42:33.000With Web Root Total Protection, you have insurance for your digital life and personal data.
01:42:37.000Let them give you a peace of mind in the wake of these continued data breaches.
01:42:41.000You get 50% off at webroot.com/slash pool.
01:44:43.000The point is, it's a news commentary show, and he's a news commentary guy, and he's got some bad opinions, but we've had communists on the show, too.
01:44:49.000So it's like, if, you know, when Nick made comments about Jewish people, I pushed back a little bit.
01:44:57.000I questioned, and I said, well, your answer is your answer, I guess.
01:45:53.000And like, if someone cuts him off, he'll just stop and listen to what they're saying and like go in that direction.
01:45:58.000And he's still, his brain's agile enough to just kind of flip it.
01:46:01.000Versus the one-on-one interviews where I feel like people are over the one-on-one interviews because a lot of them don't get to the crux of the issue.
01:46:08.000So many of them are like, you get to know you.
01:46:51.000Yeah, when we had Straderade on, the whole point of her debating the whole strategy she had was, I want you to say something where I can go ahead and say you're a bad person and I'm a good person.
01:47:02.000And that's the same exact thing that people would do.
01:47:05.000What doesn't work is when she's on and she's like, what about Venezuela?
01:47:08.000And I'm like, I don't think we should have done it.
01:47:11.000And I'm like, you think you're going on this like far-right conservative, everything's MAGA show, Trump does no wrong.
01:47:16.000And then we're like, no, Trump does a lot of things wrong.
01:47:18.000And then they're like, oh, but I'm just here to pretend like you're my enemy.
01:47:21.000And then they get into this weird problem where they have to disagree with whatever you say in order to, because it's tribal, but you're saying things they also have to agree with.
01:47:29.000I think there were a few liberals that we invited on the show that agreed to and then at the last minute said no.
01:47:35.000And I think the reason was they would be forced to reconcile with their agreement on many conservative issues.
01:47:42.000And that's one of the reasons they avoid these shows because they're issues of fact and truth that are fairly obvious that they're going to end up agreeing on.
01:47:50.000But more importantly, there's going to be some conservative Trump supporter who's going to say something like, oh, I don't think we should give money to Israel.
01:48:03.000I think conservatives have been good at that, especially during this administration, is being critical of the bad decisions of our party versus, you know, liberals, like you said, they're very tribalistic and they equate being wrong with death, basically.
01:48:17.000And so they refuse to concede in any way, even when it's completely logical.
01:48:22.000I mean, you do get like the government bootlickers on the right who anytime you say something about Trump, they get really mad at you.
01:48:26.000But, you know, it's always going to happen.
01:49:09.000Like the people convicted of this, well, I oppose a death penalty for a variety of reasons, but I certainly understand the sentiment around people who abuse kids.
01:49:18.000I think I got a better option for minimum absolute sentencing.
01:49:23.000Any offense against children, sexual abuse, is life in prison.
01:49:28.000And if you guys want to argue for death penalty, have that argument.
01:50:30.000James Smith Politics says civil war is most likely to happen not directly from the deportations, but from the loss of electoral votes, House seats in blue states.
01:50:37.000Dems are already expected to lose 10 to 13 seats in the 2030 census.
01:50:41.000It won't matter if we lose in the midterms and then they erase everything Trump is doing and open the border again.
01:50:50.000Just because I'm free says if Republicans do nothing, then it was nice hearing your opinions, Tim, because the Democrats will put you in prison for spreading foreign propaganda.
01:51:17.000Yeah, I think the Libtard Gestapo will be happy with my license plate performance.
01:51:21.000It feels like the same impotence of the government in 2017 with no real goal of like, how are you going to fix the world, guys, now that you have control of the most powerful government on Earth?
01:51:45.000Well, I mean, that is, I mean, that is the goal because with mass immigration continuing, that's how you develop the breathing room to then apply any other policy.
01:51:53.000Like, everything is downstream from immigration in the West.
01:51:56.000In 2017, there was no downstream, and it was the same lackluster inaction.
01:53:01.000Yeah, they were tens of millions of years apart.
01:53:03.000The point is, in our lifetimes, we've never experienced this kind of solar activity, which is indicative of a cycle, which does happen every several hundred thousand years.
01:53:18.000Like, you know, when you're in school and you first learned about the inevitable heat death of the universe in like 200 billion years, and that like actually stressed you out.
01:54:59.000Neglectful Saw says, Tim to Nick, what if we magically, ethnically cleansed USA so that they were Indian but still believed in the same culture?
01:55:07.000Think hard, which is literally not what I said.
01:55:09.000I asked him, if everyone in this country magically transformed into Indians and they held all their same views and they were Christians and they loved the founding fathers and the First Amendment, is that a bad country?
01:55:19.000And I think Nick was trying to avoid getting a bit aggressive on the issue of race and genetics.
01:55:24.000So he left it as he thinks a white country is better.
01:55:28.000My interpretation of what he was saying is that he believes that there is something intrinsic to the genetics of white people that results in certain behaviors and cultural norms that doesn't exist in other racial groups.
01:55:43.000I think, and maybe you just articulate it, but when you look at certain cultures, there's going to be some obvious things that guarantee this to be true.
01:55:58.000Meaning, if you replaced every American with Thai people, they're on average, you know, three, four inches shorter, then they're going to construct homes in different ways.
01:56:08.000There will be different styles of architecture based on their bodies.
01:56:12.000If you did Scandinavians, they're all very tall.
01:56:15.000You're going to get a completely different country.
01:56:33.000I think people are largely driven by their development in the world that is around them.
01:56:39.000That's why you'll meet someone who's Asian but was born in America and they have a North American accent.
01:56:45.000They don't have a Chinese accent because nature is more important.
01:56:48.000That being said, I think genetics plays a role in other ways that is less likely to express itself culturally, but can manifest in less perceivable ways, I suppose.
01:56:59.000When it comes to people that argue about don't race mix, I don't agree with that because I think a lot about the value of certain racial genetic mixes that might happen in the future that we have yet to see.
01:57:10.000And I do know that there's like a strengthening of the genome when you introduce multitudes of genetics.
01:58:02.000Is it, and maybe you don't know the answer to this, but is it more likely that people of cross-genetics, like different genetics, will have a retarded child?
01:58:10.000So if the closer you are, the high, like incest, you have a high rate of, I forgot exactly what the reason was.
01:58:18.000I read a long time ago about, I think the rudimentary way to explain it is there are in your genetics things that are way too similar, which cause a competition?
01:58:31.000No, It's the expression of genes duplicate or something like that.
01:58:36.000Like your nose gets too big, your jaw falls off, because the gene that will control for nose size gets doubled up and then and then you're like shit.
01:58:45.000No, what was the family, the European royalty?
01:58:52.000Well, that's why Jimmy Carr had a bit where he's like, you should thank the Catholic Church.
01:58:55.000I'm a Protestant, but you should be thanking the Catholic Church for chins because in the 12th century, they banned incest.
01:59:01.000They said you had to be like a sixth cousin or higher to be able to get married because they were trying to break up the tribal clan nature of Europe.
01:59:07.000And so when they did that, it saved everyone's chin.
01:59:09.000So the Catholic Church was engaged in looks maxing on everybody in Iceland are cousins.
01:59:14.000Did you guys see in the UK they were trying to put out propaganda actually encouraging cousins to marry?
01:59:19.000Yeah, and they're like gaslighting people like it's like white people doing it.
01:59:22.000I'm like, I think we, I think Gavin McGinnis laid this out from the Joe Rogan.
01:59:25.000Yeah, Iceland, because it doesn't have a lot of to and from and it's been settled by one group of people.
02:00:22.000I was reading the research on generations and what's called the mortality shelf or the mortality cliff happens to every generation.
02:00:28.000When a generation reaches this age, the mortality rate for that generation skyrockets.
02:00:33.000So in the next several years, for the obvious reason of the oldest boomers are reaching 80 years old, Trump is the, I think Trump was 46, right?
02:00:53.000And the next five, 10 years, they expect it to fall down to like 20 million.
02:00:57.000Like rapid death because they're all going to be in their 80s.
02:01:00.000Yeah, that's why in the United States, our fertility rate went negative in the 80s, but the population hasn't started declining until now, at least among Native Americans.
02:01:08.000So, you know, these things are delayed onset, so to speak.
02:01:55.000Follow me at Ian Crossland and check out graphene.movie if you haven't been there yet.
02:01:59.000There's a trailer up for the new graphene movie that I'm producing and starred in, as well as you can sign up for the mailing list at graphene.movie.
02:02:07.000Follow me at Ian Crossland on X, YouTube, Instagram.
02:02:15.000And go on the Culture War channel and Connor Tomlinson's channel to see last weekend's episodes of Across the Pond.
02:02:21.000We went until like Zoomer Nihilism broke down why that is occurring and some of the sure economic factors, but also some of the social factors that are driving that we brought in.
02:02:29.000The great Nathan Halberstad, he brought in all the data and flushed it out for us.
02:04:43.000And we were looking at computers and I saw the new yoga dual monitor touchscreen.
02:04:52.000And I was like, that's the perfect computer for recording because you have your production monitor, your display for content, and then the webcam right on top.
02:05:02.000Can you also snap those monitors on the sides of that thing too that you were talking about?
02:05:06.000I don't know that you need four monitors.
02:07:40.000I don't know if they've made an advancement since.
02:07:42.000I know things are leapfrogging now with AI.
02:07:45.000It literally just says it's not a new type of battery chemistry, but it refers to batteries using GAN components in their charging circuitry.
02:07:52.000Yeah, I was reading a lot about discharging wattage and stuff, and I fell into GAN and understanding how they can make these things smaller.
02:10:19.000You can't tell what's AI and not anymore.
02:10:21.000And I have definitely not seen every single Simpsons episode, but apparently there was one in which Donald Trump dies, and the date of his death is apparently meant to happen.
02:12:24.000But this thing, like, they were like, oh, monkeys are learning how to use tools because there's like some tribe of monkeys that was using rocks and stuff.
02:12:48.000I was listening to a podcast with Musk, and he's of the opinion that we've already hit the singularity, that we're in it now, and that in the next two years, it's going to be the changes that we've seen in the past two years are going to seem like nothing compared to the changes that we're going to see.
02:13:07.000Well, already the changes in the last two years have outpaced everything in all of human history.
02:13:13.000Well, I mean, I'm a little white-pilled on it personally, but I mean, you look at the AI video, right?
02:13:20.000Two years ago was the Will Smith eating spaghetti, you know, AI video where, you know, spaghetti's just appearing and it's like coming half out of his mouth.
02:13:29.000And, you know, now if you ask for, ask Grok to make an AI video of Will Smith eating spaghetti, it's almost indistinguishable.
02:13:35.000Have you seen now where they have Rhesus cups with Oreo bits mixed in?
02:13:43.000Dude, the technology is getting wacky and wild.
02:13:45.000When you guys were talking on the main show earlier about the left versus the right, the off-ramp ice, the conflict coming to a head, I'm like, all I can see is the future is we plug into these AI machines that govern everything, that spy on our deepest thoughts and prevent crime.
02:14:01.000And like, other than that, like full-scale nuclear conflict, I don't understand.
02:14:06.000Well, that's what's scary about like transhumanism.
02:14:10.000Who's to say that they won't implant certain ideas and ideologies?
02:14:14.000And at that point, you have no choice.
02:14:15.000Yeah, once you get to write capabilities, right?
02:14:18.000So the goal right now is to be able to read thoughts.
02:14:23.000But once they actually figure out how to create thoughts in your brain through electrical impulses, which I mean, I think that that's, I don't think that it's impossible, but it's incredibly complex, right?
02:14:36.000Because the way that you perceive things, it's not just like a neuron fires and you think something.
02:14:40.000It's like the same neurons all firing in different patterns and stuff is basically easy.
02:15:41.000You plug it in and it's going to go formatting, and then it's going to be, whoa, instant.
02:15:46.000Oh, I meant you're, I think that's going to happen a lot sooner than, but the crude Will Smith eating spaghetti version of it might be making you feel love.
02:16:04.000When you were making the stupid Will Smith going crazy and everyone's like, wow, Google had movie cinema quality Will Smith eating spaghetti.
02:16:11.000When they release Neuralink to the public, the AI capabilities will be able to brute force your mind already.
02:16:21.000We're already well beyond AI's capability to brute force a computer system.
02:16:25.000Your brain, it's going to be like, everyone's got a unique neural pathway, like their brain is somewhat unique.
02:16:31.000All they need to do is scan maybe a few thousand brains from each different ethnic background, load it into the AI, and they'll be like, done.
02:16:40.000Right now, they're working on bespoke medications.
02:16:44.000You give it a blood sample, and the computer will tell you exactly what medication you need to cure whatever ails you.
