Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - IT HAS BEGUN

00:02:29.000 The Department of Justice has issued subpoenas for Tim Waltz, Ellison, and Frey, Democrat officials in Minnesota, over alleged obstruction of ICE immigration enforcement.

00:02:43.000 Hallboy.

00:02:44.000 It looks like they're actually doing something.

00:02:45.000 Subpoenas, 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.

00:02:54.000 Now, with all due respect, I know a lot of people aren't watching the Bill O'Reilly show.

00:02:58.000 I 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.

00:03:07.000 Eight that are officially at the governmental level obstructing federal law enforcement, and two that are kind of on the line.

00:03:14.000 They're obstructing, but they're still negotiating with Trump.

00:03:17.000 This, my friends, dare I say, we are looking at the open door to what may become civil war.

00:03:24.000 And it's not just about states telling the federal government, screw off, we're going to fight you.

00:03:24.000 It has begun.

00:03:30.000 It's about people ransacking private vehicles in Minnesota.

00:03:33.000 Did you see this story?

00:03:34.000 Running up to random vehicles because they think it's ICE, attacking random people in the street for wearing certain clothing.

00:03:40.000 There's a video of a guy in a car.

00:03:41.000 They run to the car, surround it, and try to drag him out.

00:03:45.000 But here's where it gets really spicy.

00:03:46.000 You may be saying, Tim, we know all of this.

00:03:48.000 Tell me something that's more definitive.

00:03:50.000 Right now, Maryland has officially decided they have voted to remove the last Republican seat in their state.

00:03:58.000 Across the board in Democrat states, they are redistricting in mid-decade, which is shocking.

00:04:04.000 Additionally shocking, Republicans were trying to do it too.

00:04:06.000 And they're eliminating all the Republican seats, and they all agree to do it.

00:04:11.000 In the meantime, Republicans start doing it to a certain degree, but in Indiana, they're going, well, I have honor, so I won't.

00:04:17.000 The point is this.

00:04:18.000 The 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.

00:04:30.000 This is from geographic hyperpolarization due to people moving from California to Colorado or California to Texas.

00:04:37.000 Now, inside these states, as Democrats take supermajorities, they are shutting out all Republican voices.

00:04:44.000 In 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.

00:05:01.000 Now, along with all that, you may still be saying, sure, sure, that's politics.

00:05:06.000 Well, 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.

00:05:21.000 And on the left, obviously, it's disproportionately more on the left saying Trump's assassination as well.

00:05:26.000 So I look at all this and I'm like, well, we're cooked.

00:05:29.000 We're going to talk about all of that stuff.

00:05:31.000 We got a lot more.

00:05:31.000 There was a shooting of two cops in Portland.

00:05:33.000 A judge was shot in his home.

00:05:35.000 Sorry to catastrophize, I suppose.

00:05:37.000 But man, when I see this news, I'm just like, if the states line up against each other, what's next?

00:05:44.000 It's pretty obvious, right?

00:05:47.000 Federal officials calling out state officials, they're fighting.

00:05:52.000 Well, we're going to talk about that more.

00:07:23.000 Hi, thank you so much for having me.

00:07:25.000 Who are you?

00:07:25.000 What do you do?

00:07:26.000 Oh, I am Amy.

00:07:28.000 I'm a, I guess you would call it a cultural commentator.

00:07:31.000 I commentate on everything from, well, they say, you know, politics is downstream of culture.

00:07:36.000 So 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.

00:07:43.000 Including me.

00:07:45.000 How it affects me.

00:07:46.000 That's what we're going to talk about tonight.

00:07:47.000 I'm at Ian Crossland.

00:07:48.000 You can find me at Ian Crossland all across the internet.

00:07:50.000 I've been doing this for about 20 years.

00:08:04.000 Tate Brown.

00:08:05.000 What is going on, Patriots?

00:08:07.000 Tate Brown, you're holding it down.

00:08:08.000 I'm also here to discuss how these stories directly impact Ian as well.

00:08:12.000 I think that should be the primary focus today, in my opinion.

00:08:16.000 Hello, everybody.

00:08:16.000 My name is Philabonte.

00:08:17.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:08:19.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:08:21.000 Let's get into it.

00:08:22.000 Real quick, I want to give a shout out to Rachel and Darren.

00:08:24.000 It was great meeting you guys today.

00:08:26.000 And to Doris and Clint, really do appreciate that you are loyal viewers and you watch all the time.

00:08:32.000 It means a lot to me to hear that.

00:08:33.000 And we got to meet Rachel and Darren.

00:08:35.000 They talked about how they watched every episode, and it was awesome.

00:08:39.000 So nice meeting you guys.

00:08:40.000 Shout out.

00:08:41.000 Thank you so much.

00:08:41.000 And for everybody else, same to all of you for watching.

00:08:45.000 You can join us at TimCast.com, be members.

00:08:47.000 And I really do appreciate it.

00:08:50.000 Let'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.

00:09:02.000 The 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.

00:09:16.000 Three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

00:09:19.000 The 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.

00:09:28.000 They were served on the same day that Attorney General Pam Bondi arrived for a visit in Minnesota.

00:09:33.000 Multiple sources told CBS.

00:09:35.000 Now, I just want to say one thing really quick, because you guys know that I've been glazing CBS news since Barry Weiss took over.

00:09:41.000 I just want to make sure I point out they literally said immigrants living in the states illegally.

00:09:46.000 They didn't put migrants. 0.99

00:09:48.000 They didn't put innocent children.

00:09:49.000 They literally told the truth.

00:09:51.000 I respect that because no one else in the corporate press has been doing that.

00:09:55.000 And so, good.

00:09:56.000 I 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.

00:10:06.000 The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

00:10:09.000 A copy of a subpoena seen by CBS does not specify which criminal violations the department is probing.

00:10:13.000 However, 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.

00:10:26.000 Is that poetic justice?

00:10:28.000 We shall see if anyone actually gets arrested.

00:10:30.000 Does this count as something happening?

00:10:31.000 Nothing ever happens, guys.

00:10:33.000 Me?

00:10:34.000 No, no, I'm saying for the nothing.

00:10:35.000 Oh, I'm not.

00:10:36.000 Things won't stop happening.

00:10:37.000 See, the issue is nothing is ever enough for the nothing ever happens people.

00:10:42.000 So they say, oh, so what?

00:10:43.000 It's a subpoena.

00:10:43.000 Tell me when they get arrested.

00:10:44.000 It's like, well, Trump got arrested a year and a half ago.

00:10:48.000 That was a thing that was happening.

00:10:49.000 This is the first process.

00:10:51.000 I 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.

00:11:13.000 And then a year later, they're like, we're signing a Declaration of Independence.

00:11:16.000 And you go, yeah, you said the letter, big deal.

00:11:18.000 And then three months later, you get a response from the Crown.

00:11:20.000 Regulars are showing up and they're like, they come all the time.

00:11:24.000 They regularly send regulars.

00:11:26.000 At a certain point, someone's going to be like, the regulars are coming as they run through the night to warn everybody.

00:11:33.000 And that's when everyone kind of wakes up to it.

00:11:35.000 So in the case of the Civil War, it didn't happen for like a year and a half or two years.

00:11:40.000 People don't know this.

00:11:41.000 They 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.

00:11:47.000 And then the North was like, how dare you?

00:11:50.000 When actually, after the fight, there was still no civil war.

00:11:53.000 After the first battle of Bull Run, there was still no civil war, even though people were dead.

00:11:58.000 It 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.

00:12:02.000 And then two years later, it was over.

00:12:05.000 Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not particularly black pilled on all this stuff.

00:12:09.000 I think that the government is going to go through the standard motions to do an investigation and stuff.

00:12:15.000 Obviously, I do want to see, I would love to see all three of these guys in jail for what they've done.

00:12:21.000 I think they've impeded the operations of ICE.

00:12:24.000 They've encouraged people to commit acts of terrorism.

00:12:29.000 So for me, it's like, all right, the ball's rolling, you know.

00:12:32.000 Yeah.

00:12:32.000 I mean, the DOJ has got to get this right, obviously, when you're issuing this many subpoenas, a lot of charges to go around.

00:12:32.000 Yeah.

00:12:38.000 But a lot of people, again, on Twitter, but a lot of people that are legal experts have outlined the variety.

00:12:43.000 I mean, they have their pick of statutes that could bring charges forth under.

00:12:48.000 So it's, again, it's interesting that they've gone with 372 seeing as it was used in J6.

00:12:55.000 Again, people are pretty sour, even within MAGA.

00:12:58.000 Even the most loyal Trump supporters have soured on the DOJ, the DOJ's performance.

00:13:03.000 This 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.

00:13:10.000 It's 372 is conspiracy to impede or injure an officer.

00:13:14.000 I mean, if you on its face, it seems pretty obvious that they did.

00:13:20.000 You know, conspiracy to impede, like the fact that they're obviously talking to each other.

00:13:25.000 They're talking to the police officers.

00:13:28.000 They're talking to the department.

00:13:29.000 And they're like, look, this is the stuff that you want to do.

00:13:32.000 We want to pull these guys back, blah, blah, blah.

00:13:34.000 Anytime that they're not actually directing law enforcement to help ICE do its job, they're actually impeding.

00:13:42.000 I 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.

00:13:53.000 You can pull it back up.

00:13:54.000 Can you pull it back up?

00:13:55.000 I thought it was funny that we're pulling up the law to talk about news, and these guys have their ads running on it.

00:14:00.000 So free promo, guys.

00:14:00.000 There's lawyers.

00:14:02.000 There you go.

00:14:03.000 Congratulations.

00:14:04.000 Anyway, the world's ending, and people are going to need a lot of lawyers, at least for the next several years.

00:14:04.000 Great work.

00:14:08.000 So what say you, Amy?

00:14:09.000 I mean, this is something that, I mean, you've kind of been saying for a long time, civil war is coming.

00:14:15.000 And like you mentioned, the nothing ever happens people always kind of scoff at that.

00:14:19.000 But 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.

00:14:40.000 I mean, this was already happening.

00:14:42.000 We're just seeing it at a scale that is really scary.

00:14:45.000 And now we're talking about, you know, judges getting assassination attempts put on them.

00:14:49.000 They're talking about we need to instigate laws to ensure that judges' addresses are removed.

00:14:55.000 You know, why wasn't this already a thing?

00:14:57.000 That's my question.

00:14:58.000 Like after the Kavanaugh assassination attempt, why wasn't this already a thing to remove the judges? 1.00

00:15:05.000 I don't, when I see the statements from like Mayor Frey and Tim Waltz, I don't believe these people are stupid. 0.98

00:15:17.000 They may be, but for different reasons, but I think they're fully cognizant of the truth. 0.96

00:15:21.000 They know what ICE is doing.

00:15:23.000 They know why ICE is doing it.

00:15:25.000 But they get their power, their luxury, their access from the left.

00:15:30.000 And so they're not going to give that up.

00:15:33.000 If they were to come out and say, I'm going to be honest with you guys, the American people voted for these actions.

00:15:39.000 And that means the people who live in Minnesota, who are here illegally, are going to have to go home. 0.98

00:15:44.000 And that's what democracy is.

00:15:45.000 If they said that, they'd be out of office and they'd be in the poorhouse in two seconds.

00:15:49.000 These are people who would rather say, burn the country down before taking me out of power.

00:15:54.000 And we all know what happens to people like that.

00:15:56.000 We've seen it in the Arab Spring.

00:15:58.000 These guys in these countries could have walked away, but they didn't want to.

00:16:01.000 Now, 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.

00:16:07.000 My 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.

00:16:16.000 I think, well, I think it's fair to say there is a conflict happening in this country.

00:16:22.000 And whoever loses is going to face the consequences.

00:16:25.000 Democrats are calling for putting Republicans in prison.

00:16:29.000 Republicans at the ground level are, but Republican politicians are just shoving their thumbs up there, button doing nothing.

00:16:34.000 Yeah.

00:16:35.000 I mean, I feel like if Trump's going to do something, then he should fully do it.

00:16:35.000 Yeah.

00:16:39.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:16:40.000 Because 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.

00:16:47.000 And 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.

00:16:56.000 It's like, if we're going to do something, we need to actually fully do it.

00:17:01.000 What would that look like?

00:17:02.000 I mean, actually making sure that these indictments go through when it comes to subpoenas, sorry.

00:17:10.000 I'm surprised that it didn't even happen, though, when it came to the healthcare conspiracy out of Minnesota.

00:17:16.000 Like, why, how come there weren't any subpoenas issued over that when it came to walls, you know?

00:17:20.000 Yeah, 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.

00:17:25.000 I 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.

00:17:38.000 Like, we are heading down the path of civil war.

00:17:41.000 This is the off-ramp as decisive, strong executive power. 0.93

00:17:45.000 There'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. 0.54

00:17:56.000 There's no common ground with these people.

00:17:58.000 There's no like wrestling them back.

00:17:59.000 There's no, you know, debate to be had.

00:18:01.000 There's no market, there's no idea to sell in the marketplace of ideas like when these people back over.

00:18:06.000 It's like, no, the only thing they're going to respond to at this point is force.

00:18:09.000 And so, again, like you said, to your point, I mean, the spoon is great, but we need to nip this in the bud, right?

00:18:15.000 A message needs to be sent to these politicians.

00:18:18.000 Yep.

00:18:18.000 If you break the law, you will have your power taken from you.

00:18:23.000 If you uphold the law, we will help you maintain order and status.

00:18:28.000 That 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.

00:18:39.000 If 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.

00:18:52.000 You're going to get voted out.

00:18:53.000 That's going to happen because your state's nuts.

00:18:55.000 But the federal government needs to go in and help manage this because the point I'm making, let me clarify. 0.52

00:19:00.000 You can't side with the lunatics running around smashing windows and beating people in the streets.

00:19:05.000 That's true.

00:19:05.000 You want to side with those people who go to jail.

00:19:07.000 If 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.

00:19:14.000 I then think if you clean the streets up, you might actually win reelection.

00:19:18.000 You might actually.

00:19:19.000 Because 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.

00:19:26.000 It's like nine degrees outside.

00:19:29.000 The locals are not happy that a bunch of whack-aloons are going nuts. 1.00

00:19:33.000 Majority of people probably don't know or care about what's going on.

00:19:36.000 It's always the extremists.

00:19:37.000 Now, what I hear from a lot of people in politics is, well, there will never be a civil war because regular people don't care.

00:19:44.000 They're not paying attention.

00:19:45.000 So who's going to fight?

00:19:46.000 And 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.

00:19:57.000 This issue that we're seeing in Minneapolis is more like bleeding Kansas.

00:20:01.000 Street level, merciless beatings, violence, law enforcement against extremists and protesters.

00:20:09.000 That's like bleeding Kansas.

00:20:11.000 People don't think it goes anywhere.

00:20:12.000 They think it's localized violence.

00:20:15.000 You know what really would kick things off?

00:20:18.000 If, 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.

00:20:25.000 This is insane.

00:20:26.000 And everyone, I think, could have seen this coming.

00:20:29.000 Republicans are probably going to start fleeing.

00:20:31.000 Wealthy and business owners are probably going to start fleeing.

00:20:34.000 We're looking at something not too dissimilar from the Civil War.

00:20:38.000 That is, you've got this localized violence over an ideological issue related to immigration.

00:20:43.000 And we predicted this a year and a half, two years ago.

00:20:45.000 You're going to get a midterm, which will probably be contentious.

00:20:49.000 And then you're going to get a presidential election.

00:20:51.000 And should it be JD Vance or any other Republican who vows with a strong fist, we are going to continue and maintain our operations.

00:21:02.000 Democrats fought very hard in 1860 in the election to make sure they could keep their free labor, people who had no choice.

00:21:11.000 We've heard Democrats say time and time again, these people will do the jobs that no one wants to do.

00:21:17.000 We get it, okay?

00:21:18.000 You like your slaves.

00:21:20.000 Well, if Vance comes in and says, we're ending your second-class citizenry operations, this is where it goes national.

00:21:28.000 It's localized now in Minnesota and in other parts of the country too, California, Washington.

00:21:34.000 What happens if 2028 comes around and the Democrats realize you've lost and this is done?

00:21:40.000 Will we actually then see a stronger resistance?

00:21:43.000 Based on the level of escalation, I would say I think there's a possibility we get somewhere like that.

00:21:48.000 I don't know what it looks like and I don't know what happens in between.

00:21:51.000 But 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.

00:22:00.000 You had a woman shot and killed.

00:22:02.000 Again, I'm not talking about morality.

00:22:03.000 I'm just saying it did happen.

00:22:04.000 The escalation is there. 0.99

00:22:07.000 Maybe this is the one time where people go, guys, whoa, holy crap. 0.94

00:22:10.000 We can't do this. 0.74

00:22:11.000 We can't have states fight in the Fed. 0.54

00:22:13.000 Yeah, I hope that kind of shifts people's perspective.

00:22:16.000 I 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.

00:22:29.000 Withhold your votes.

00:22:30.000 Teach 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.

00:22:36.000 But what does the other side of that look like?

00:22:38.000 It's scary if the Democrats come into power.

00:22:41.000 So it kind of feels like a little bit of a lose-lose situation on both sides.

00:22:45.000 It'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.

00:22:58.000 So 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. 0.95

00:23:08.000 It's just, it sucks.

00:23:09.000 That's just like the way that liberal democracy functions. 0.74

00:23:11.000 And 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.

00:23:20.000 Let's jump to this next door.

00:23:21.000 We have this from Vote Hub.

00:23:22.000 Ladies 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.

00:23:31.000 Politicians bicker all the time.

00:23:34.000 The Trump people have been fighting with the Democrats the whole time, going back 10 years.

00:23:37.000 What's new?

00:23:38.000 What's new is that we are facing an unprecedented redistricting effort across the country.

00:23:44.000 Typically, redistricting is done on the 10, so 2010, 2020, 2030.

00:23:49.000 It's now 2026.

00:23:51.000 And in the past year, Democrats and Republicans have decided to eliminate political opposition in their states.

00:23:58.000 Now, I believe it was Republicans who kicked this off.

00:24:00.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:24:02.000 And it is a bold and unprecedented move.

00:24:04.000 Now, conservatives have said, Republicans, full steam ahead.

00:24:09.000 Democrats responded with, let's play two. 0.95

00:24:12.000 So what happens when you have every state deciding to eliminate the rival political party from their state?

00:24:19.000 We went from geographic polarization.

00:24:21.000 This is people in California moving to Texas and Washington to Utah, people in New York to Florida.

00:24:27.000 You're getting hyper-concentrations of single political ideologies in certain areas.

00:24:32.000 That's the geographic hyperpolarization.

00:24:34.000 And 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.

00:24:46.000 Maryland's Redistricting Advisory Commission has recommended a new 8-0 congressional map and sent it to Westmore.

00:24:53.000 Christian 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.

00:25:07.000 And 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.

00:25:16.000 They 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.

00:25:25.000 That 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.

00:25:39.000 They don't need to campaign.

00:25:41.000 They don't need to spend money.

00:25:43.000 They will have just owned it based on demographics.

00:25:46.000 It's done.

00:25:47.000 And the New York Times actually published a story on this saying, who will win the House?

00:25:52.000 Three maps tell a tale.

00:25:53.000 Take a look at this.

00:25:55.000 36 seats are most competitive.

00:25:57.000 18 are toss-ups.

00:25:59.000 26 redistricted or under discussion.

00:26:03.000 11 or so are in discussion.

00:26:05.000 Effectively, 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.

00:26:20.000 That 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.

00:26:28.000 This is what the goal is.

00:26:29.000 I mean, this is what they've done in California.

00:26:32.000 This is, I believe they've done this in New York.

00:26:35.000 It's essentially going to be Democrat, you know, for eternity.

00:26:39.000 Washington is like that now.

00:26:41.000 And if they are, if they manage to do this in the United Nationally, they're going to pack the court.

00:26:47.000 They're going to add states.

00:26:49.000 They're going to do everything they can to make sure that Democrats don't ever lose again.

00:26:54.000 We were talking about this last night.

00:26:56.000 The Democrats thought that they had a permanent control of power when Barack Obama won.

00:27:02.000 They 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.

00:27:11.000 And they would have, you know, they would have whoever their guy was go against the Republican.

00:27:15.000 And of course, they would win.

00:27:16.000 If this happens, you can forget about ever having a Republican again.

00:27:22.000 Like it will be one party control, and then the rest of the whole United States will turn into California.

00:27:28.000 California'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. 0.79

00:27:41.000 So this is, it doesn't get more important than voting in this next coming election and in 2028.

00:27:49.000 And this is something that I was saying on the pre-show.

00:27:51.000 People like to say, oh, this is not the most important election.

00:27:54.000 Everyone always says this is the most important election.

00:27:57.000 Because 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.

00:28:07.000 The elections that happened in the past, you can't change them.

00:28:10.000 The elections that are coming in the future, you can't touch them.

00:28:13.000 So the only ones that matter are the ones that you can affect right now.

00:28:16.000 So the next election in 26 is the most important election ever after that, the 28 one is the most important ever.

00:28:22.000 Why didn't they do this when Trump apparently had the election stolen from him?

00:28:26.000 Why haven't Republicans already done something?

00:28:26.000 That's the thing.

00:28:28.000 At the end of the day, voter ID, proof of citizenship would fix everything. 0.75

00:28:31.000 If this was such a big issue, why haven't they already implemented this? 1.00

00:28:37.000 Republicans are, how do I say, pussies. 1.00

00:28:41.000 Retard. 1.00

00:28:43.000 That too.

00:28:44.000 Well, here's how I view Republicans.

00:28:48.000 Republicans tend to have this mindset of, I don't want to be the person who gets a target on his back.

00:28:57.000 If I actually do these things, someone's going to try and kill me or accuse me of improprieties.

00:29:02.000 Like Brett Kavanaugh was accused of being a party to gang rapes in his college years, like just an insane fabrication.

00:29:10.000 Republicans are terrified.

00:29:11.000 The truth is this.

00:29:12.000 It's a simple question.

00:29:14.000 If I were to tell you that, or let me just leave it like this.

00:29:18.000 Do you believe that the example I love using is Dave Rubin.

00:29:23.000 Dave Rubin is going to lead a group of angry, violent extremists to a corporate headquarters throwing firebombs because they censored him or someone else.

00:29:33.000 No.

00:29:34.000 Now, if I told you that some progressive leftist did, you'd be like, what do you mean that happened yesterday in Minneapolis?

00:29:39.000 The point is conservatives don't get violent.

00:29:42.000 So the Republicans go, my only fear is the left.

00:29:46.000 That 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.

00:29:55.000 If 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.

00:30:03.000 But they still do just enough to antagonize the left to make them want to do that.

00:30:07.000 Do you know what I mean?

00:30:08.000 You mentioned that.

00:30:09.000 I disagree.

00:30:10.000 I disagree.

00:30:10.000 Some Republicans do, but not enough Republicans.

00:30:13.000 And I would say 80%, they're doing very little.

00:30:17.000 And they're getting heat regardless.

00:30:19.000 Yeah.

00:30:20.000 This is something that we've talked about a little bit on the show.

00:30:23.000 The 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.

00:30:34.000 That's why I was saying like this election that's coming up.

00:30:36.000 No matter what happens, the Democrats will do everything they can to consolidate power.

00:30:41.000 If the Republicans win, then the Republicans have a chance.

00:30:44.000 If they don't win, they're going to do everything.

00:30:47.000 They're going to stall.

00:30:48.000 The House will start impeachment hearings on Trump.

00:30:51.000 It doesn't matter whether they have any substance or not.

00:30:54.000 That's not the point.

00:30:55.000 They will do everything they can to hamstring the Trump administration.

00:30:58.000 And then come, you know, the presidential election, they're going to be like, see, the Republicans didn't do anything.

00:31:04.000 They didn't do all this stuff they promised you and et cetera, et cetera.

00:31:07.000 And they're going to hope that that's enough to get them over the finish line.

00:31:09.000 And if they win the presidency and still have the House and the Senate, they will annihilate the whole country.

00:31:15.000 I want to stress, because you said, Phil, that this is the most important election.

00:31:19.000 I think the point we're seeing here with this redistricting war is that that time has come and gone.

00:31:24.000 The time for these elections was before anyone realized.

00:31:26.000 We have a conversation several months ago, just after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

00:31:32.000 And I said, any move we make to preempt what we believe is coming will feel premature.

00:31:42.000 To cite Godwin's law, the Jews in Nazi Germany who fled fled early.

00:31:47.000 And the ones who didn't were killed. 0.99

00:31:49.000 And the ones who didn't were like, you're crazy.

00:31:51.000 Like, it's not going to happen.

00:31:52.000 And 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.

00:31:59.000 So after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, we ripped the conversation.

00:32:02.000 And 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?

00:32:09.000 We don't.

00:32:10.000 Let me say it like this.

00:32:11.000 Back in the day, if you had a primetime TV show that got 10 million listeners, 10 million, it was you.

00:32:19.000 No other station could broadcast.

00:32:20.000 That meant you owned 100% of the sponsorship rights.

00:32:25.000 10 million people would watch you.

00:32:26.000 You'd sell an ad for 10 million.

00:32:28.000 You'd make a ton of money.

00:32:30.000 I'm saying for 10 million viewers, you had millions of dollars.

00:32:32.000 You hired bodyguards, crazy security.

00:32:35.000 Today, 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.

00:32:45.000 And the show is then shared all over the place.

00:32:47.000 And 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.

00:33:00.000 This creates a massive risk, death threats, et cetera.

00:33:04.000 What happened to you?

00:33:05.000 Someone tried to shoot up your property.

00:33:06.000 Someone didn't try.

00:33:07.000 They did shoot up our property.

00:33:09.000 And we don't have the ability to monetize against those views.

00:33:12.000 So we get a massive spike in attention without the ability to generate the revenue that typically was used to provide security and this access.

00:33:19.000 It's funny because after that conversation, then a couple of months later, we had a drive-by shooting.

00:33:23.000 Three shots were fired at our property.

00:33:24.000 Hence, we're now in Florida trying to figure out how to move forward.

00:33:27.000 Right now, what I'm looking at is the elections that mattered were three, four, five years ago, the elections that mattered.

00:33:38.000 Virginia, 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.

00:33:46.000 I mean, the Democrats have made moves in Virginia in 48 hours that scream communist revolution.

00:33:55.000 And again, we'll get into it.

00:33:57.000 There's no election that's going to fix that.

00:34:00.000 And when we go into 2026, Democrats are now eliminating Republican votes from their states.

00:34:05.000 There's no election that's going to fix the House.

00:34:08.000 The states have already decided the House will be as they decide.

00:34:11.000 It will be Democrat.

00:34:13.000 So you get to vote for your candidate and they're going to win.

00:34:16.000 But guess what?

00:34:17.000 Based 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.

00:34:28.000 But in most of these Democrat states, Republican votes are effectively gone.

00:34:31.000 So what do you do if you're a Republican?

00:34:33.000 Let me say it like this.

00:34:35.000 Man, the vibes out here are fantastic in Florida.

00:34:38.000 They really are.

00:34:39.000 I mean, Tate, you were mentioning that people were recognizing you.

00:34:43.000 But it was like positive, which is great.

00:34:44.000 Well, but I mean, just like you're a relatively new addition to the team in the past year, and even people know who you are.

00:34:50.000 They watch the show.

00:34:51.000 Surge as well, Kellen Carter getting recognized.

00:34:54.000 We were talking about it, and it's just like everywhere we go, everyone's like, we watch the show.

00:34:58.000 And it's actually quite simple.

00:34:59.000 The people who are moderates who lived in blue areas in the past four years moved to Texas and Florida.

00:35:06.000 So this area is a high density of people who share a moral worldview with us.

00:35:10.000 In 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.

00:35:20.000 You 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.

00:35:27.000 Hence, someone does a drive-by.

00:35:29.000 So the question now is, what do you do considering this change has already happened?

00:35:36.000 It's already happened.

00:35:37.000 To fight fire with fire, right?

00:35:39.000 We have to do the same.

00:35:40.000 Republicans aren't doing it.

00:35:41.000 That's the point.

00:35:42.000 Well, they are to a certain extent, but Indiana backed down.

00:35:44.000 And now the Democrats are going to take the House, not based on electoral prowess, but based on seizure of power.

00:35:50.000 Yeah.

00:35:50.000 Well, 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.

00:35:57.000 I totally agree.

00:35:58.000 Like 1992, the Republican primary, if Pat Buchanan won, we would have been out of this mess already.

00:36:03.000 Like we would have mopped this up 30 years ago.

00:36:05.000 And 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.

00:36:16.000 All you're doing is just counting what the demographics are of your district.

00:36:20.000 There's no like swinging voters anymore.

00:36:22.000 And 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. 0.94

00:36:35.000 And then the election comes along, we get blown out.

00:36:37.000 And it's like, what are we doing?

00:36:39.000 The 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.

00:36:46.000 Because it's great.

00:36:47.000 You got a bunch of people registered, but it's like, they're not turning out if Trump's on the ballot.

00:36:50.000 And also, again, they'll just redistrict you out of existence.

00:36:52.000 But let's take it to its logical conclusion.

00:36:55.000 Democrat, so it starts with Republicans, I believe, in Texas, a mid-decade redistricting.

00:37:00.000 And Democrats said, if you want to play, we'll play too.

00:37:02.000 And Democrats decided to play harder.

00:37:04.000 I love this Jennifer Welch lady said, when we elect Democrats, they've got to be F you Democrats, not these integrity Democrats. 0.88

00:37:11.000 And I'm like, I don't know that integrity Democrats exist.

00:37:13.000 There's no such thing anymore.

00:37:14.000 No such thing.

00:37:15.000 So they're already doing it.

00:37:16.000 Republicans in some states said, let's play.

00:37:18.000 Democrats said, we'll play harder.

00:37:20.000 And Republicans are going, I guess we lose.

00:37:21.000 The logical conclusion is if the Republicans do decide to fight fire with fire, Democrats say, you want to play again?

00:37:28.000 We'll play harder.

00:37:29.000 Democrats locked up lawyers, Trump's lawyers, Trump himself, false criminal charges.

00:37:35.000 Donald Trump's DOJ says maybe mortgage fraud.

00:37:39.000 Bill Pulte's the only one.

00:37:41.000 Let me give a shout out to Bill Pulte.

00:37:42.000 Seemingly, the guy with the least amount of power to do it, actually getting the job done to his best degree as he can.

00:37:50.000 So this guy gets put in the, or is it FHSA, Federal Housing Administration, whatever it's called.

00:37:56.000 And the DOJ is not locking these people up.

00:37:57.000 The DOJ is not investigating or charging.

00:37:59.000 We're not seeing anything from it.

00:38:01.000 And then the guy who gets the housing administration goes, I'm going to find a way to get charges on these people.

00:38:06.000 And he finds mortgage fraud.

00:38:07.000 Is that the best the Trump DOJ is going to do?

00:38:10.000 So I'll put it like this.

00:38:11.000 Right now, it appears the Republicans are either incapable or unwilling to fight fire with fire as Democrats run roughshot over them.

00:38:16.000 And if they don't, then we're in trouble.

00:38:20.000 And if they do, Democrats will escalate.

00:38:23.000 It would seem that Democrats win or we get major conflict.

00:38:29.000 Communist revolution or civil war.

00:38:29.000 Yeah.

00:38:29.000 There was literally.

00:38:32.000 Yeah, literally.

00:38:32.000 Lose, lose.

00:38:33.000 I mean, there's literally, there's a show that Republicans have no idea what time it is.

00:38:36.000 There's literally a state senator in Indiana.

00:38:38.000 His name was Mike something along those lines.

00:38:40.000 And 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. 1.00

00:38:51.000 And I'm going to vote no on the redistricting bill because Trump is said retarded. 0.82

00:38:55.000 And that's a film. 0.98

00:38:56.000 He's like, ma'am, I know.

00:38:57.000 And I'm just like, dude, like, Charlie Kirk just got shot.

00:39:00.000 Like, are you a little new around here?

00:39:01.000 Do you know what time it is?

00:39:02.000 I mean, these people literally, my principles types of people, the whole chungus Republicans just need to go. 0.96

00:39:08.000 I've got enough.

00:39:10.000 Let me at least get one word in, guys.

00:39:12.000 Come on.

00:39:13.000 Let me tell you a story.

00:39:15.000 I worked at Vice.

00:39:16.000 Everybody knows this.

00:39:17.000 And 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.

00:39:27.000 He was talking about, I think he was 45 at the time and I was 28 or something, or what was that, 27?

00:39:33.000 And he was talking about how cable TV was it and they really wanted to get a cable channel and that was the dream.

00:39:39.000 And I'm sitting there going like, what are you talking about?

00:39:41.000 I don't know anybody who watches cable TV.

00:39:44.000 And then it clicked.

00:39:46.000 His world, the people he talks to, the friends he knows, the meetings he has.

00:39:51.000 No one's talking about YouTube.

00:39:53.000 Everyone's talking about cable TV.

00:39:55.000 YouTube is a sideshow.

00:39:56.000 He goes to these meetings with the advertisers and they say, look, we want to buy on cable TV.

00:40:00.000 We don't care about YouTube.

00:40:02.000 And he's going, if I'm going to run a business and be with the in the big leagues, I got to be where the big leagues are.

00:40:06.000 And that's TV.

00:40:07.000 I was a younger guy and I said, I don't know a single person who does this.

00:40:10.000 So what happens?

00:40:12.000 10 years later, who cares about cable TV, right?

00:40:16.000 For us, we're sitting here going, YouTube, long form, podcasts, and Gen Z is brain rotting AI slop.

00:40:22.000 We know it's going to happen in 10 years.

00:40:24.000 My point on this, that boomer guy you mentioned was like, all right, sorry, who's retarding? 1.00

00:40:28.000 You're saying, does he not know what time it is?

00:40:29.000 No.

00:40:29.000 Is he new here?

00:40:30.000 He's surrounded only by other boomers. 0.83

00:40:32.000 They're not watching the content we produce.

00:40:35.000 They're watching cable TV.

00:40:36.000 They don't understand what time it is because they don't live in the real world.

00:40:41.000 What's going to happen is young people are radicalized, older people less likely.

00:40:47.000 And 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. 0.63

00:40:57.000 And then I can hear that Gen Xers complaining that they were left out.

00:40:59.000 No, it's because Gen Xers are normal and stable. 0.98

00:41:02.000 The millennials are where you start getting lunatics. 1.00

00:41:04.000 And then Gen Z is where everyone's lost their mind. 0.57

00:41:07.000 By 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? 1.00

00:41:16.000 Let's jump to this next story from the New York Sun and give you the breakdown.

00:41:20.000 Virginia Democrats propose a raft of new taxes after taking state government trifecta.

00:41:26.000 The story is this.

00:41:27.000 It's been two days since the Democrats got in after their major sweeping election and they are burning the state down.

00:41:35.000 It is a full-bore communist revolution.

00:41:39.000 Let me show you from Greg Price.

00:41:41.000 Democrats now control the legislature and governor's office in Virginia.

00:41:44.000 Here are just a few of the bills they've introduced.

00:41:46.000 New 4.3% sales tax on Uber Eats, Amazon, and deliveries.

00:41:49.000 New sales tax on admissions to a wide variety of businesses.

00:41:52.000 Create two new higher tax brackets of 8% and 10% of people making over 600K.

00:41:57.000 New 10% tax bracket for anyone making over a million.

00:42:00.000 3.8 investment tax on top of state income tax.

00:42:03.000 Raise the hotel tax.

00:42:04.000 New personal property tax on landscaping equipment.

00:42:07.000 Ban gas-powered leaf blowers.

00:42:08.000 Guarantee illegal aliens for education. 0.92

00:42:11.000 Make it illegal to approach somebody in abortion clinic.

00:42:13.000 Extend the time absentee ballots can be received after election day to three days.

00:42:17.000 Allow people to cast their votes electronically through the internet.

00:42:20.000 Expand rank choice voting.

00:42:21.000 Extend the deadline for ballot counting to one week after election day.

00:42:25.000 Redact the addresses of political candidates from FOIAs.

00:42:28.000 Add Virginia to the National Popular Vote Compact for presidential electors.

00:42:31.000 Make it illegal to hand count ballots.

00:42:34.000 $500 sales tax on firearm suppressors.

00:42:37.000 Assault weapons in quotes Quotes and large capacity magazine ban in Virginia of all places.

00:42:42.000 Don't tread on me, state.

00:42:43.000 11% sales tax on all firearms and ammunition.

00:42:46.000 Prohibit outdoor shooting of a firearm on land less than five acres.

00:42:48.000 Lower the criminal penalties for robbery.

00:42:50.000 Ban the arrest of illegal aliens in courthouses.

00:42:52.000 Remove mandatory minimum sentences.

00:42:54.000 Allow localities to install speed cameras.

00:42:56.000 Replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day for good measure. 0.98

00:42:59.000 The two that matter, make it illegal to hand count ballots.

00:43:04.000 Add Virginia to the National Popular Vote Compact for presidential electors.

00:43:07.000 What's that one?

00:43:08.000 So 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.

00:43:28.000 Once you get a certain number, they're fairly close.

00:43:31.000 Once 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.

00:43:39.000 And 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.

00:43:55.000 Because with the National Popular Vote Compact, well, there's a lot of arguments about how it would play out.

00:44:00.000 One is that you've got, what is it, you know, 20 million, how many, we're 10 million Republicans.

00:44:06.000 How many people are in California?

00:44:07.000 Is it 50, 60 million?

00:44:08.000 30?

00:44:10.000 36 million.

00:44:11.000 36 million, right?

00:44:12.000 And like what, 35% or 40% are Republican.

00:44:16.000 And their voice is not represented because the way the state works.

00:44:19.000 Some argue more Republicans will turn out to vote if it's a national popular vote.

00:44:22.000 39.4.

00:44:24.000 A Republican?

00:44:24.000 No, 39.4 million.

00:44:26.000 Generally, however, the idea is Democrats tend to get the popular vote.

00:44:31.000 Republicans get the electoral college vote.

00:44:33.000 If they enact this, Republicans can never win again unless they become Democrats. 0.98

00:44:41.000 The Republican Party then becomes gay communists. 0.97

00:44:43.000 The Democrats become AI. 0.98

00:44:44.000 That's the joke about the future based on what the Republican Party already does.

00:44:47.000 We're cooked.

00:44:48.000 Yeah.

00:44:49.000 Do you guys hear that?

00:44:50.000 Do you hear that noise?

00:44:50.000 That's four years of Glenn Young gone with the sign of a pen.

00:44:54.000 Unironically, 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. 0.93

00:45:02.000 It'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. 0.68

00:45:09.000 Four years of Glenn Young down the garden. 0.98

00:45:09.000 There you go. 0.98

00:45:09.000 Boom. 0.98

00:45:11.000 A very effective governor, by the way.

00:45:12.000 I mean, Glenn Young, you know, he's not this like super authentically right-wing governor like a lot of people want.

00:45:17.000 He's not quite the Santa's flavor.

00:45:19.000 Very effective, especially for a state like Virginia that is a light blue state.

00:45:22.000 Great, great legacy, et cetera.

00:45:24.000 Gone 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. 0.92

00:45:32.000 Here's what's going to happen: Virginia's new bills are going to result in gun owners, many of them fleeing, wealthy individuals fleeing.

00:45:42.000 It's going to cause massive problems for the state budget.

00:45:44.000 California is expected to lose a trillion dollars, a trillion dollars because of their wealth tax proposal.

00:45:50.000 Billionaires are like, I will leave.

00:45:53.000 I will look at somewhere else.

00:45:55.000 It's going to happen to Virginia as well.

00:45:57.000 The conditions are going to cause more anger.

00:46:00.000 And what do we see in places like Venezuela? 0.91

00:46:02.000 When 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. 0.96

00:46:13.000 It's the imperialists who are destroying our country. 0.92

00:46:17.000 Well, that's not true.

00:46:18.000 But what's going to happen in Virginia and in California is they're going to say, we did everything right.

00:46:23.000 The reason why we have feces everywhere and no money, it's Trump's fault.

00:46:28.000 And then they're going to get violent.

00:46:29.000 You know, more than they already are.

00:46:31.000 When the extremely rich leave, they're going to pass those taxes on to the people that they say are the millionaires.

00:46:39.000 But at least in California, the property tax that they're talking about, it's any property you own.

00:46:44.000 I've got a friend that's like maybe, maybe he has a million bucks, but probably not.

00:46:49.000 He'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.

00:46:56.000 Now, it's two stories, maybe, I think there's probably four or five rooms or whatever.

00:47:01.000 It's a normal, what you would consider a normal house.

00:47:03.000 If you looked at that, you take that house and you put it in South Carolina, it's probably $400,000, right?

00:47:08.000 Like it's a nice house, but it's not some kind of extravagancy.

00:47:12.000 He's going to be treated like a millionaire.

00:47:14.000 They're going to tax him as if he's a millionaire.

00:47:16.000 When the billionaires leave, they're going to go after the middle class.

00:47:20.000 This is what happens in socialist countries all the time.

00:47:23.000 That'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.

00:47:33.000 They're going to destroy California if that passes. 0.99

00:47:36.000 And you're going to see that move happening in other states as well.

00:47:39.000 I was talking to another friend.

00:47:40.000 They're doing similar things in Washington state.

00:47:43.000 They've got a socialist mayor in Seattle.

00:47:45.000 Boeing is leaving or has largely left.

00:47:48.000 Amazon will go if they pass it.

00:47:51.000 There's another big company up, I think IBM.

00:47:53.000 Those companies are relocating to Virginia.

00:47:54.000 That's an interesting thing.

00:47:55.000 Well, they're going to look at that and they'd be like, well, maybe we're going to go somewhere else.

00:47:59.000 Well, this is what makes Virginia an interest. 0.89

00:48:00.000 It's kind of an interesting exception because most of the people there aren't there for like a favorable business environment.

00:48:05.000 They're there for proximity to Washington, D.C. without having to get hammered on D.C. taxes.

00:48:09.000 Now, again, this could be enough to maybe persuade them to move somewhere else, but they don't really have much of an option.

00:48:14.000 One 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.

00:48:26.000 Make D.C. square again.

00:48:27.000 Yeah, D.C. has the ability, like they actually have the ability to make DC a square again.

00:48:31.000 That lops off like 500,000 voters to DC.

00:48:34.000 And again, it puts Virginia back in play.

00:48:36.000 But as we've seen here, I wouldn't hold my breath.

00:48:39.000 Bro, the things I would do if I were president or at least speaker or majority leader in the Senate, I would probably get assassinated.

00:48:50.000 Why isn't Trump doing that?

00:48:53.000 Why isn't he doing anything?

00:48:55.000 I think the issue is that Trump is currently negotiating with NATO and one man can only do so much.

00:49:01.000 So it's funny, right?

00:49:04.000 I can't remember what happened.

00:49:06.000 We were at Freddy Mistan and someone, one of the guests was here and they were like, hey, where'd you get the toilet paper?

00:49:10.000 And I went, I have no idea.

00:49:12.000 And he's like, oh, it's your company, dude.

00:49:15.000 And I was like, you think I know what the toilet paper?

00:49:17.000 Bro, I have no idea what's going on half the time.

00:49:20.000 I have two words for anybody who asks me a question about the functioning of this business.

00:49:23.000 Anyone know what they are?

00:49:24.000 Ask Allison. 0.86

00:49:25.000 Indeed, that's right.

00:49:26.000 Ask Mark.

00:49:29.000 No, to be fair, Mark, I mean, I love Mark, but he is fairly new to the business.

00:49:29.000 Okay, yeah.

00:49:34.000 It's serious.

00:49:35.000 That is the plan.

00:49:36.000 Ask Mark as the new phrase.

00:49:37.000 Look, I complain on the internet and the functioning of how we do things or execution, but the minutiae don't.

00:49:44.000 So to the point of Trump, his DOJ goes to them and they say, we've got a thing going on in Minnesota.

00:49:49.000 And he goes, he's like, hold on, I'm on the phone with Macron.

00:49:52.000 What were you saying?

00:49:53.000 Get a subpoena on him.

00:49:55.000 And they go, okay.

00:49:55.000 What are you doing?

00:49:56.000 And then he's like, now back to the things that matter.

00:49:58.000 Greenland, Saudi Arabia petro deals, the South China Sea.

00:50:03.000 The foreign policy stuff is the true purview of the president.

00:50:06.000 War, foreign affairs.

00:50:08.000 And so he's not, I would estimate, Trump's getting a briefing from DHS and the DOJ on internal affairs.

00:50:16.000 I mean, like domestic affairs.

00:50:17.000 And he's looking at it and saying, okay, here, here, do this, do that.

00:50:20.000 I'm going to, what is he focused on?

00:50:21.000 What's he talking about?

00:50:22.000 He's talking to world leaders about Greenland.

00:50:24.000 Yeah.

00:50:26.000 If it were me, I'd imagine first, realistically, anybody here, anybody watching, you'd be in the same position as Trump. 0.98

00:50:35.000 However, I'm also a bit of a lunatic and I'm, I think, much more willing to be crazy than crazier than Trump would be. 0.96

00:50:42.000 And I think it's probably because it's like a youth factor thing. 0.99

00:50:45.000 I think as much as people want to say Trump is crazy, he might push the button.

00:50:48.000 Like, no, Trump is an older guy.

00:50:52.000 He's more experienced.

00:50:52.000 He's seen a lot.

00:50:54.000 He is wise.

00:50:55.000 He's a bit brash.

00:50:58.000 Me, I just go on TV and be like, it's time to arrest all of these people.

00:51:02.000 Someone do it.

00:51:02.000 Yeah, there was a YouGov poll that half of Zoomer Trump supporters just said ignore SCOTUS.

00:51:07.000 So it's like, clearly, young people are just kind of fed up with the pomp and circumstances.

00:51:11.000 The optics of it are crazy, though.

00:51:13.000 Like, I get it.

00:51:13.000 He 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?

00:51:23.000 But 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.

00:51:32.000 It's like, who cares about these things?

00:51:34.000 Who cares about renaming things?

00:51:37.000 I disagree.

00:51:38.000 I disagree.

00:51:38.000 Perception is reality.

00:51:40.000 But I think he's bad at the optics.

00:51:41.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:51:42.000 Like, the optics of it on the face is that he's not doing anything.

00:51:46.000 Does he not care about the way that it looks?

00:51:48.000 I 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?

00:51:56.000 They literally, it was like some humane society event that they were running where basically they were liberal slop.

00:52:02.000 Yeah, yeah, but they literally had people wearing essentially furry mosques. 1.00

00:52:07.000 And 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.

00:52:19.000 Apparently, that's the narrative.

00:52:21.000 And yet now they're hosting these grand events.

00:52:24.000 Are you pulling it up?

00:52:25.000 Well, yeah, they did have a furry party.

00:52:25.000 It's crazy.

00:52:27.000 Look at it.

00:52:27.000 It's actually insane.

00:52:28.000 This is what I mean.

00:52:29.000 Does he not even care about the optics of how it looks to everybody else?

00:52:34.000 It was for like the Humane Society awarding like dogs.

00:52:40.000 I 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.

00:52:59.000 Whereas this was set up by the Humane Society or whatever, and it was about animals, not about furries.

00:53:08.000 It was just like it is.

00:53:09.000 They look like furries.

00:53:10.000 They look like furry.

00:53:11.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:53:12.000 No, that's why I'm going to stop you.

00:53:13.000 That's why I gave you a trend.

00:53:14.000 Furries dressed like cartoon animals.

00:53:16.000 Those people were dressed like animals.

00:53:18.000 There's a distinction.

00:53:19.000 Furish.

00:53:20.000 No, no, no.

00:53:21.000 Furries have like an identity of a cartoon animal.

00:53:23.000 They dress like Bucks Bunny. 0.99

00:53:25.000 Whereas these were like dog costumes.

00:53:27.000 It's goofy, but either way, the Humane Society should be kept as far away from conservative associations.

00:53:32.000 I mean, it's not so good, but it's decided that it's worth making a distinction.

00:53:35.000 Let's go to this next story. 0.99

00:53:37.000 And the headline is easy: women are nuts. 1.00

00:53:39.000 So true. 1.00

00:53:40.000 Women are more likely to support political assassinations. 1.00

00:53:42.000 Now, 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.

00:53:52.000 That should be the headline.

00:53:54.000 But it goes to show you the Daily Wire audience when they lead with women are more likely to support assassinations. 0.99

00:53:59.000 That's the modern era, right?

00:54:01.000 More likely.

00:54:02.000 And no estate. 0.97

00:54:04.000 Well, like, if I titled the video like women are nuts, I'd get way more views. 1.00

00:54:07.000 And if I titled it, Women Favor Assassinations. 1.00

00:54:09.000 And it's true. 0.83

00:54:10.000 The Foids have gone a little crazy. 0.60

00:54:11.000 I mean, this is what happens when they're literally like drip-fed murder documentaries for like 20 years in a row.

00:54:16.000 That's why women unwind. 1.00

00:54:19.000 The true crime genre. 0.97

00:54:21.000 It's insane.

00:54:22.000 Let me unwind to like a zodiac killer.

00:54:24.000 So here's what's serious.

00:54:26.000 Both the right and the left, according to this poll, in the majorities, believe it's time for political assassinations.

00:54:32.000 Of course, more so on the left.

00:54:34.000 But what surprised me is that even conservatives agreed in the assassination of Mamdani.

00:54:42.000 Females at 54.7%.

00:54:45.000 Now, that may be shocking to a lot of people.

00:54:47.000 I think it's absolutely psychotic for anyone to support assassinations of either of these people.

00:54:50.000 I think Mamdani is a very, very bad guy.

00:54:53.000 But I think you handle this with FEMA management campaigns.

00:54:56.000 The federal government can come in, and if it's really bad, remove him from power.

00:54:59.000 But you know why people are saying things like this?

00:55:01.000 With Trump, they're calling him in the Gestapo.

00:55:04.000 He's Hitler. 0.95

00:55:05.000 He's rounding up children. 0.99

00:55:05.000 He's a Nazi. 0.99

00:55:07.000 Mamdani says he wants to abolish ICE and he's advocating for non-American citizens. 1.00

00:55:12.000 The degree of extremism in this country at the political level, I view it largely on the liberal side.

00:55:19.000 Let's be honest.

00:55:20.000 This is a country that has always had laws.

00:55:22.000 If you're a politician and you vowed to defend non-citizens from the law, you're a rogue politician.

00:55:28.000 The answer to that, the federal government should go and remove you from power and Mamdani should be removed. 1.00

00:55:32.000 I absolutely think so.

00:55:33.000 Trump, however, has been buddy-buddy.

00:55:34.000 However, 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.

00:55:41.000 And that's terrifying.

00:55:42.000 Like, I'm curious.

00:55:42.000 What is his sample?

00:55:44.000 Like, how many people were polled in this?

00:55:47.000 I think it was 15, around 1,500.

00:55:49.000 Let me see if I can find the crosstabs.

00:55:52.000 That's the question, too.

00:55:54.000 Right.

00:55:54.000 All this stuff matters, right?

00:55:56.000 The 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?

00:56:06.000 And around half of Republicans said yes.

00:56:09.000 That's insane.

00:56:10.000 And then asked that of Trump, they said something similar.

00:56:12.000 Let me see if I can find the actual crosstabs.

00:56:14.000 But in the meantime, here we are.

00:56:17.000 Yeah, I mean, look, to discuss political assassinations, it just shows how deteriorated our political discourse has gotten.

00:56:32.000 This is not okay.

00:56:33.000 And it's probably largely because of like super online people.

00:56:38.000 You know, this kind of rhetoric is something that you will see just on TikTok all the time.

00:56:44.000 I 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.

00:56:55.000 Like Tim's made the point, good, the lady that was shot in Minneapolis.

00:57:01.000 Her wife was hollering, why did you have real bullets? 1.00

00:57:04.000 As if law enforcement would ever not have real bullets.

00:57:08.000 Like there is a distinction between riot control and regular law enforcement.

00:57:14.000 Regular law enforcement has actually interesting.

00:57:17.000 It was 2,221 American adults.

00:57:19.000 However, they excised participants, around 1,170, for lack of quality responses.

00:57:27.000 They were filtered out, leading to a final sample of 1,055 balanced on gender, race, ethnicity, age, and education.

00:57:33.000 On 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.

00:57:42.000 I like it.

00:57:43.000 Gender had three categories.

00:57:44.000 Man, women, or I forgot. 0.80

00:57:48.000 And the question was, let me see if they have the question.

00:57:51.000 But is there, could there, let me see how they phrased it.

00:57:56.000 Let's see.

00:57:57.000 It said, do you believe there is at least some justification for assassination, I believe was the question.

00:58:04.000 Oh, that's so crazy to say yes to right now.

00:58:06.000 What people are demoralizing.

00:58:08.000 Do you believe there's at least some justification for murdering Donald Trump?

00:58:11.000 Do you believe there is at least some justification for murdering Zaran Mamdani?

00:58:15.000 And we find that of Trump, 54% of centrists said yes, 54% of right of center, 50% of all categories with 40.4% of left.

00:58:26.000 I'm sorry, that was Mamdani.

00:58:27.000 This is Mamdani, not Trump.

00:58:29.000 So 40% of people on the left are also saying that like what justification were they giving?

00:58:34.000 Like he also killed someone?

00:58:36.000 That's like a really weird thing.

00:58:38.000 And on the right, they say the same thing for Trump.

00:58:40.000 People on the right say there is some justification for murdering Trump.

00:58:43.000 The point is, it's not a, do you want to do it?

00:58:47.000 It'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.

00:58:57.000 It's not a question of whether they want it to happen.

00:58:59.000 It's whether they perceive these individuals have doing, as having done things that someone would be like, he must be stopped.

00:59:06.000 These thinkers aren't going far.

00:59:08.000 You have to, is it justified?

00:59:09.000 You have to justify what comes after the action too.

00:59:13.000 And all the potential outcomes.

00:59:15.000 Can you justify that as well?

00:59:18.000 It's not like the chaos and tumult that could ensue is not people don't far ahead.

00:59:24.000 Yeah, they're disconnected from the real outcomes and people are being radicalized online, specifically women. 0.99

00:59:30.000 Like they have specifically, so I'm not surprised by the title of this headline.

00:59:34.000 They've been very good at radicalizing women in politics. 1.00

00:59:37.000 And when you look at social media platforms, the issue is, you know, on TikTok, you're talking about the content over there.

00:59:44.000 Like a lot of right-wing content gets censored on TikTok.

00:59:47.000 So it's leftist voices that are projected.

00:59:50.000 And 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. 1.00

00:59:58.000 I 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.

01:00:06.000 You had to like put asterisks on it to prevent the video from being taken down.

01:00:10.000 So the amount of right-wing content that is censored versus left-wing content has resulted in radicalization of women. 1.00

01:00:19.000 I mean, to me, it makes perfect sense.

01:00:22.000 Why women? 1.00

01:00:22.000 What have you noticed about participants? 1.00

01:00:24.000 Women are so emotional. 1.00

01:00:25.000 And here's the thing, they play on that.

01:00:27.000 They know that women are emotional. 0.99

01:00:29.000 And this is why controversial take, I don't think that women should be in high positions of power in politics, honestly. 1.00

01:00:37.000 I learned a statistic recently that's kind of interesting.

01:00:40.000 So cortisol, right?

01:00:41.000 The stress hormone that both men and women experience.

01:00:46.000 I recently learned that one tablespoon or teaspoon of cortisol, it takes women an entire day to metabolize that. 1.00

01:00:54.000 So basically she needs to go to sleep and wake up the next morning and she'll be okay.

01:00:58.000 She'll be reset.

01:00:58.000 Whereas a man, he can metabolize that within a period of a couple of hours.

01:01:02.000 Women do not react well to stressful situations. 1.00

01:01:05.000 And the media and left-wing politicians are counting on that and they're weaponizing that against women. 1.00

01:01:12.000 I mean, like, I'm not a repeal the 19th guy.

01:01:12.000 Yep.

01:01:17.000 I kind of am.

01:01:18.000 Well, I mean, I'm not a repeal the 19th guy because it doesn't go nearly far enough.

01:01:22.000 I 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.

01:01:30.000 But I don't think I think there are plenty of women that should, plenty of women that should be allowed to vote. 1.00

01:01:36.000 But I don't think that it should be just blanket all women.

01:01:39.000 But 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.

01:01:51.000 100%.

01:01:52.000 And yet just illegal aliens and dead people are voting. 0.52

01:01:55.000 So, 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. 0.99

01:02:03.000 You wouldn't be able to allow.

01:02:04.000 No, no, I wouldn't want to, honestly.

01:02:06.000 For multiple reasons.

01:02:07.000 I mean, I think it should be per household.

01:02:09.000 I want my fiancé's vote to count.

01:02:10.000 I feel like if you're a married couple, especially, like usually married couples have similar like political opinions.

01:02:17.000 But for example, if it's a right-wing guy and a left-wing woman and they're married, I feel like the husband's vote should count.

01:02:24.000 Yeah, because you identify with his political party.

01:02:28.000 No, because I mean, you're just splitting the vote, like per household.

01:02:31.000 It doesn't make any sense.

01:02:32.000 And to your point, I think there should just be a higher standard in general when it comes to people who are allowed to be able to do it.

01:02:37.000 The worst thing that ever happened to America was MTV's rock the vote in the 90s.

01:02:41.000 That's a horrible idea.

01:02:42.000 And the man should be leading the household anyway.

01:02:43.000 So if the woman is like dominating your household and winning the household's vote, then like you just deserve that. 1.00

01:02:48.000 You deserve to get outvoted.

01:02:49.000 Yeah, but we don't deserve that.

01:02:51.000 Like America doesn't deserve that.

01:02:52.000 But you know, these, these guys, you know, these longhouse guys, they need to learn their lesson.

01:02:57.000 Maybe they do need like a communist takeover.

01:03:00.000 When you look at like Australia, for example, did you guys know that everyone in Australia is compelled to vote?

01:03:00.000 It's so crazy.

01:03:05.000 Like if you don't vote, you literally get fines.

01:03:07.000 Saying it's like a LeBron's voter die, but it's like real.

01:03:10.000 It's terrible.

01:03:11.000 Just for the national election or a bunch of elections?

01:03:15.000 No, I think it's just for the national.

01:03:17.000 I would need to confirm that.

01:03:18.000 Maybe chat will fact check me, but definitely for the national election, every single person is compelled to vote.

01:03:26.000 So they compel you to vote, but then they ban like a bunch of parties.

01:03:29.000 Yeah, it's insane.

01:03:31.000 Like, I moved to America for a reason.

01:03:31.000 And I'm terrible.

01:03:34.000 I've been here nearly 10 years.

01:03:35.000 I have not returned to Australia since I moved over here.

01:03:39.000 Are you allowed to?

01:03:40.000 Well, 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.

01:03:40.000 Yeah.

01:03:49.000 Australia has really turned into a socialist hellhole.

01:03:51.000 And it's really sad to see America kind of leaning in that direction.

01:03:57.000 It's really scary.

01:03:58.000 Look, America's the last bastion of actual liberty.

01:04:03.000 And 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.

01:04:16.000 Yeah, 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.

01:04:30.000 And so, again, Australia and the UK are just, they're cousins.

01:04:32.000 So they're indicators of what could realistically play out in the U.S.

01:04:35.000 And Australia, you're seeing, you're seeing the mass migration completely overhauling society. 0.99

01:04:39.000 You're seeing, again, a lot of the heritage Australians just tacking off to the left. 1.00

01:04:43.000 And it's like, okay, they're just really 20 years ahead, maybe 10 years ahead of what realistically could occur in the U.S.

01:04:49.000 Yeah, and we should be putting measures in place now to ensure that that does not happen.

01:04:52.000 When it comes to Australia, I see it as like a twofold thing.

01:04:55.000 They're like, number one, they're importing the third world. 1.00

01:04:59.000 Okay.

01:04:59.000 They're trying to flood it with as many immigrants as possible to cause chaos because they want their problem reaction solution playbook.

01:05:05.000 So 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.

01:05:18.000 Like, I would not be surprised if Australia becomes the first country in the West to basically reflect communist China in everything other than name.

01:05:27.000 Yeah, you're certainly naming the reflected demographics.

01:05:30.000 There's so many Chinese people moved to Australia's crazy. 1.00

01:05:33.000 I mean, I saw a video that was like spot the Australian around New Year's.

01:05:37.000 It was like a New Year celebration.

01:05:39.000 And it was, you couldn't really see.

01:05:41.000 You really had to like peel your eyes to see one white Australian in this whole like grouping of people, which was in the thousands.

01:05:51.000 And yeah, it speaks a lot to where Australia is at.

01:05:53.000 The new Where's Waldo.

01:05:55.000 It's further.

01:05:56.000 The new Friday.

01:05:56.000 Yeah, I mean, let's jump to this story we got here from Yahoo News.

01:06:00.000 It's interesting.

01:06:00.000 I just actually saw the tweet.

01:06:02.000 ICE agents drew guns on off-duty officer in Minnesota.

01:06:06.000 Chief says, we have this video quote from News Nation.

01:06:09.000 I'm not exactly sure what the chief said because I'm just now seeing this, but I do want to play it because it sounds insane.

01:06:15.000 Let's roll tape.

01:06:16.000 Good morning, everyone.

01:06:17.000 I'm Mark Rule, Police Chief of City of Brooklyn Park.

01:06:20.000 Behind 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.

01:06:28.000 What you won't hear from any of us today is rhetoric of abolish ICE or that there shouldn't be immigration enforcement.

01:06:37.000 The truth is, immigration enforcement is necessary for our national security and for local security.

01:06:43.000 But how it's done is extremely important.

01:06:47.000 In fact, we have a long history of working exceptionally well with our federal partners, including ICE agents.

01:06:54.000 And we have seen the best of them perform their job extremely well in the past.

01:06:59.000 With 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.

01:07:16.000 What 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.

01:07:30.000 As 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.

01:07:40.000 Every one of these individuals is a person of color who has had this happen to them.

01:07:46.000 In Brooklyn Park, one particular officer that shared her story with me was stopped as she passed ICE going down the roadway.

01:07:55.000 When they boxed her in, they demanded her paperwork, of which she's a U.S. citizen and clearly would not have any paperwork.

01:08:02.000 When she became concerned about the rhetoric and the way she was being treated, she pulled out her phone.

01:08:07.000 In an attempt to record the incident, the phone was knocked out of her hands, prevented her from recording it.

01:08:15.000 The officer had their guns drawn during this interaction.

01:08:21.000 And 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.

01:08:30.000 The agents then immediately left after hearing this, making no other comments, no other apologies, just got in their vehicles and left.

01:08:39.000 I wish I could tell you that this was an isolated incident.

01:08:42.000 In fact, many of the chiefs standing behind me have similar incidents with their off-duty officers.

01:08:47.000 This 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.

01:09:00.000 And that's what they were.

01:09:02.000 I'm going to tell you right now, this is what war looks like.

01:09:06.000 The 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. 1.00

01:09:16.000 It's not a big deal to get stopped and ask for your ID.

01:09:19.000 In fact, I said this about Chicago.

01:09:21.000 I saw the DHS guys walking around Chicago when they came out earlier in the year, and I said, I'm for it.

01:09:27.000 My worst case, what they're going to sign me and say, sir, do you have an ID?

01:09:30.000 I'd say, absolutely, officer, here's my ID.

01:09:31.000 And they'd say, thank you.

01:09:32.000 And I said, keep up the good work, boys.

01:09:33.000 It's all that would happen.

01:09:34.000 There are certainly a lot of people that I never understood this.

01:09:38.000 I 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.

01:09:48.000 Do you have an ID on you?

01:09:49.000 It's sure.

01:09:51.000 I understand, however, in certain circumstances, I'd also be like, am I being detained?

01:09:55.000 Am I free to go?

01:09:56.000 Because, you know, I just don't just trust the government, right?

01:09:59.000 The problem is largely conservatives view this effort as going into a jurisdiction filled with fraud, crime.

01:10:08.000 I mean, the fraud is off the charts.

01:10:11.000 The crime is off the charts.

01:10:13.000 And so they want this to happen.

01:10:15.000 I certainly think, as I said last year, that ICE needs to be 200% above board.

01:10:20.000 They should be wearing khakis and polo shirts as they conduct these operations because it's going to be weaponized against them.

01:10:27.000 Trump will lose the election in the midterms if it looks scary to regular people.

01:10:30.000 That 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?

01:10:40.000 Why would another cop she could say, certainly I'm an officer with the, you know, what was the name of the city?

01:10:46.000 Brooklyn Park.

01:10:47.000 Brooklyn Park.

01:10:48.000 I'm with the Brooklyn Park police.

01:10:49.000 I got my badge and ID on me.

01:10:50.000 I'll grab it right now.

01:10:51.000 You know what it's like to be a cop.

01:10:52.000 You know what happens when someone's coming to ask you questions and you're a cop.

01:10:55.000 What are you worried about?

01:10:56.000 Liberals are going to say, this proves they're Gestapo.

01:10:59.000 The police are even complaining.

01:11:00.000 But the one thing that matters, your opinion on it, immaterial.

01:11:03.000 The police have come out and issued a statement against federal law enforcement, expressing the conflict and the division.

01:11:11.000 This, in my view, I don't see a path towards de-escalation.

01:11:15.000 Unless 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.

01:11:28.000 Do the calculation here.

01:11:30.000 If 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. 0.79

01:11:42.000 No, then it's a failing.

01:11:44.000 Desperate crime school for desperate measures, Ian, like they're doing their thing for a reason.

01:11:50.000 But if you can get your enemy to become desperate, you've got them where you want them.

01:11:53.000 So I mean, I reject the idea that this is worse than the crimes that are being committed by the criminals.

01:12:00.000 So right off the bat.

01:12:01.000 But 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.

01:12:23.000 And I do think that this is something that the administration and the DOJ really need to be careful about.

01:12:30.000 Just like the optics of this is bad.

01:12:33.000 You don't want to have this as something that's in the front of people's minds.

01:12:38.000 It'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.

01:12:53.000 They're going to go out there and they're going to try and inhibit their activities and stuff.

01:12:56.000 So it's bad optically.

01:12:58.000 And so they should avoid it just for that reason. 0.59

01:13:00.000 The problem is the Republicans are not evil enough.

01:13:04.000 And what I mean by that is PR games are the easiest games to play unless you're an honest person.

01:13:12.000 Because you hear a story like this and the left is all freaking out.

01:13:16.000 The only thing you need is for a, you know, look, they got, you know, Bovino, is that his name, right?

01:13:23.000 Brig Brovino, yeah.

01:13:24.000 Yeah, Big Rovino.

01:13:25.000 And they're decked out and they look, they look like warriors, right?

01:13:28.000 And I don't mean that in a derogatory way.

01:13:30.000 I mean, like, they look like they're out there to do the fight.

01:13:34.000 That plays really well with a certain base of people, but you don't need to do that to play well to a base of people.

01:13:40.000 You can have a guy go on camera and do a press conference and say, that woman was attempting to assault officers.

01:13:47.000 This is an outrage.

01:13:48.000 My point is this.

01:13:49.000 They don't lie.

01:13:51.000 Mistakes get made.

01:13:53.000 ICE is heavy-handed.

01:13:55.000 And then they get called out and they go, well, and people in the comments say, but she was obstructing and things like that. 0.94

01:14:02.000 If Trump really was evil, if the DOJ and ICE were really evil, they would be pulling off false flags.

01:14:11.000 The things that would be happening, here's what an evil empire administration would actually do. 0.97

01:14:16.000 And I'll tell you, because you know it, because you've seen it.

01:14:18.000 Remember Gulf of Tonkin?

01:14:20.000 If Trump was actually trying to assert control and do whatever he wanted, he'd have a couple of ICE agents get brutally murdered.

01:14:25.000 False flag attack.

01:14:27.000 That's what Operation Northwoods was about.

01:14:29.000 The U.S. government has a history. of feigning the victim, attacking itself, and then flying a false flag and blaming their enemies.

01:14:36.000 Not happening.

01:14:37.000 Not happening.

01:14:38.000 Literally, ICE is going out.

01:14:39.000 They're heavy-handed.

01:14:40.000 The liberals are complaining about it, and the DHS is carrying on.

01:14:43.000 So 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.

01:14:54.000 Come out and give a reasonable approach and say, these things happen in law enforcement operations.

01:14:58.000 And for that, we apologize.

01:15:00.000 We will do better.

01:15:01.000 This is about enforcing the law.

01:15:03.000 With thousands of officers trying to find thousands of rapists and murderers, sometimes these things will happen.

01:15:09.000 Trust us, we're on your side.

01:15:11.000 That's the appropriate response.

01:15:12.000 If they were evil, they'd just come out and make up stories and lie and do whatever they wanted.

01:15:16.000 And this just radicalizes everyday people more who aren't really tapped into what's going on.

01:15:21.000 People who perceive this as scary.

01:15:22.000 And 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?

01:15:32.000 It's insane.

01:15:32.000 Yeah.

01:15:33.000 There's a video of a woman crying.

01:15:34.000 Yeah.

01:15:35.000 And the cops went to a house where it's the known address for two wanted pedophiles.

01:15:41.000 And there was a guy in the house who was temporarily detained because they need to search the house for two wanted illegal immigrant pedophiles.

01:15:48.000 And there's this young blonde liberal man crying.

01:15:51.000 Like, lady, this is law enforcement.

01:15:53.000 Stuff happens all the time.

01:15:54.000 I've seen so much worse.

01:15:56.000 It's insane. 0.75

01:15:57.000 Yet they perceive the ICE offices as worse than detaining pedophiles, like not just illegals, but illegal.

01:16:04.000 Well, the guy who was detained was not a pedophile.

01:16:06.000 Right, but to go into the house to obstruct the actual operation.

01:16:09.000 Right.

01:16:10.000 These people live in a fictitious reality.

01:16:13.000 They are deluded because the media tells them it's the Gestapo Nazis here.

01:16:17.000 I will say this.

01:16:19.000 When this cop says, here's another problem.

01:16:21.000 We're getting a bunch of calls about our rights being violated.

01:16:24.000 I don't believe it's real for a second.

01:16:26.000 I don't believe it's real for a second.

01:16:27.000 If 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.

01:16:35.000 Would you mind showing us your ID just so we can make sure, you know, it's not you?

01:16:39.000 Most people are going to be like, oh, okay, I guess.

01:16:41.000 And they're going to show the idea and they're going to be like, sorry to bother you.

01:16:43.000 And they're going to leave. 0.97

01:16:44.000 Now, 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. 0.89

01:16:52.000 It's a trick. 0.80

01:16:53.000 Don't believe.

01:16:53.000 They're not really cops.

01:16:54.000 Then he's walking down the street and he sees a cop, say, can I have your ID?

01:16:57.000 He's going to go, ah, and then he's going to call the police and be like, some guy was trying to kill me.

01:17:00.000 It was the craziest thing I've ever experienced.

01:17:02.000 The left keeps spreading this message that the Gestapo is coming to violate your rights.

01:17:06.000 And they think your rights are violated when a cop says you are temporarily detained.

01:17:10.000 And they go, oh, God, it's the Nazis.

01:17:12.000 Bro, we've had stop and frisk for decades.

01:17:14.000 This is not new stuff.

01:17:16.000 You can complain about it and say it's not good, but to act like this is a new thing under Trump.

01:17:20.000 There was a viral meme I thought was really funny.

01:17:22.000 Obama giving Tom Holman an award.

01:17:24.000 And it was like, you know, 2012, Obama gives his head of immigration or whatever, enforcement an award.

01:17:32.000 2019, Trump does the same thing.

01:17:35.000 It's the same guy.

01:17:36.000 Tom Holman worked through various administrations.

01:17:38.000 Nobody complained about him back then.

01:17:40.000 They complain about him now.

01:17:41.000 It's fake.

01:17:42.000 It's largely fake.

01:17:43.000 That's what I think.

01:17:44.000 Is there a path to de-escalation?

01:17:49.000 My 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?

01:18:04.000 Joe Rogan's a regular guy.

01:18:05.000 He does comedy, but he does some kind of politics.

01:18:08.000 And there are people who watch his show and they voted for Trump, but they're not super political.

01:18:13.000 These aren't, I don't consider them uninitiated because they are listening to the news.

01:18:16.000 Uninitiated people are few and far between these days, but they're people who are like, I don't know anything about news.

01:18:20.000 I don't watch.

01:18:21.000 But these people are going to get scared.

01:18:24.000 And there's going to be a question that they pose in their minds.

01:18:27.000 First, who is the craziest?

01:18:29.000 Well, for a long time, it was the left. 0.96

01:18:30.000 Violence, riots, wokeness, child sex changes. 0.86

01:18:34.000 And that freaked them out.

01:18:35.000 Then the question was, who's going to win?

01:18:39.000 And the reason why the woke got away with it was because the fear was they had all the power.

01:18:42.000 So the middle-of-the-road people were scared to say things.

01:18:46.000 They were like, if I speak up, I'll get fired from my job.

01:18:49.000 Well, then it started to become more and more apparent that the anti-woke, those were calling out the incentive, were winning.

01:18:53.000 So the middle-of-the-road people finally came out and said, you know what?

01:18:56.000 This is insane.

01:18:56.000 I agree.

01:18:57.000 It needs to stop.

01:18:58.000 Now with ICE going out, new optics are emerging.

01:19:01.000 People 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.

01:19:11.000 So the questions are once again posed in the mind of the normie.

01:19:15.000 Who's crazy?

01:19:16.000 And they go, well, these ICE guys going around like that lady got shot.

01:19:19.000 That's crazy.

01:19:20.000 I mean, even if she was driving into him, she wasn't trying to kill him.

01:19:23.000 And that's nuts.

01:19:24.000 They're freaked out.

01:19:25.000 Then the question is, who's going to win?

01:19:27.000 Doesn't look like Trump's going to win, especially with the redistricting efforts.

01:19:30.000 So what you're going to see is people are going to go back to hiding and the woke is going to get a resurgence if this continues.

01:19:35.000 That's why narrative control is so important.

01:19:38.000 That's why Donald Trump wanted his cabinet to be media savvy.

01:19:42.000 But I got to say, they're not.

01:19:44.000 They're not.

01:19:45.000 Harmony Dylan is.

01:19:46.000 She's fantastic.

01:19:47.000 She should have been the AG. 1.00

01:19:48.000 I thought since Trump named it Space Force, I'm like, God, that guy is 50, 80 years old, isn't he?

01:19:55.000 Space Force.

01:19:56.000 What should he have called it?

01:19:57.000 Oh, anything other than that?

01:19:58.000 Call it the Federation of Planets or something.

01:20:00.000 Why is it?

01:20:01.000 Why would this be the Federation of Planets?

01:20:03.000 We've got the Navy.

01:20:04.000 We've got the Army.

01:20:05.000 And we have already have a force.

01:20:06.000 You don't need the Air Force.

01:20:08.000 You don't want another force. 0.99

01:20:09.000 It was just so dumb and redundant. 0.98

01:20:10.000 And like, you're not making an article. 0.99

01:20:13.000 You're not making an article.

01:20:14.000 It's like drawn by an 80-year-old man and it's in a square and it has a yellow picture. 0.98

01:20:18.000 Terrible, cheap, boring loser optics. 0.98

01:20:21.000 I got to stop you. 0.98

01:20:22.000 This has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

01:20:23.000 Trump's mishandling of optics throughout his entire life.

01:20:23.000 Talk about optics.

01:20:25.000 Your opinion on the name of Space Force is immaterial to the conversation we are having.

01:20:30.000 It's just another duly noted name.

01:20:32.000 But Gulf of America, similarly cringe, in my opinion.

01:20:32.000 Okay, thank you.

01:20:35.000 Gulf of America.

01:20:36.000 It's literally, it's like North America, South America.

01:20:39.000 It makes perfect sense for it to be the Gulf of America.

01:20:41.000 Call it something other than the Gulf of.

01:20:43.000 We've just spent the American.

01:20:48.000 The shoebox of America. 0.73

01:20:50.000 It's a Gulf.

01:20:50.000 It's a shoebox.

01:20:51.000 The Sea of America.

01:20:52.000 I don't know.

01:20:53.000 Call it like Liberty City.

01:20:56.000 It wasn't creative, you know?

01:20:57.000 Gulf of.

01:20:58.000 I mean, Liberty City.

01:21:00.000 Liberty City.

01:21:01.000 I kind of get your point.

01:21:02.000 That's what I was saying at the start of the podcast.

01:21:05.000 It seems like he's been more concerned with renaming things than actually focused on carrying out his initial business.

01:21:11.000 But that's how it looks to the uninitiated people.

01:21:14.000 I think a lot of people are more uninitiated than what we think because we're so immersed in this space.

01:21:19.000 Like 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.

01:21:26.000 But I think there's still a lot of Americans who.

01:21:29.000 A lot of Americans, but proportionally, not a lot of Americans, right?

01:21:32.000 So a lot could be a couple, you know, 10, 20 million.

01:21:35.000 And we're like, there's a lot of people who don't, but that's less than 10%.

01:21:39.000 I go out on a daily basis and it is.

01:21:44.000 I'll put it like this.

01:21:44.000 The Epstein stuff plays well in the beltway.

01:21:47.000 But for regular people, they're like, man, I'm just concerned about the price economics.

01:21:52.000 But 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.

01:22:05.000 Yeah, I encountered one guy recently who was like, I don't watch the news.

01:22:09.000 Just one guy.

01:22:10.000 Now, some people are wrong.

01:22:11.000 You know, I meet liberals, I meet conservatives, but they're initiated in this.

01:22:15.000 this politics.

01:22:16.000 They have a moral worldview.

01:22:17.000 It's so hard to tell.

01:22:18.000 We could be in a bubble.

01:22:19.000 I can't tell.

01:22:20.000 It's impossible to get a finger on the bubble.

01:22:22.000 I can.

01:22:23.000 I don't know, but you're in a bubble.

01:22:25.000 I'm not.

01:22:26.000 Like, you think about it.

01:22:27.000 So obviously you're going to see it around you more often.

01:22:30.000 Ian, I am not in a bubble.

01:22:31.000 Well, everyone's in their own reality bubble.

01:22:34.000 To a certain degree, then I'll put it like this.

01:22:35.000 My bubble is bigger than yours and most people's.

01:22:39.000 The community.

01:22:40.000 It's still a human bubble that we're all.

01:22:41.000 Everyone's in there like, you only know what, a thousand people.

01:22:44.000 You don't know what you're talking about.

01:22:45.000 500 people or something.

01:22:46.000 Obviously, I'm not apprised to what's going on in China or Japan or France for the most part.

01:22:51.000 My bubble is America.

01:22:52.000 But 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.

01:23:00.000 It's one of the reasons I love playing poker.

01:23:01.000 People 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.

01:23:08.000 I often don't talk, I don't talk about myself all that often when I'm at these tables.

01:23:11.000 If someone doesn't know who I am, I'll just be like, what do you do for a living?

01:23:13.000 I'm like, you're at a poker table.

01:23:14.000 You got a thousand bucks on the table.

01:23:15.000 You must have a good job.

01:23:16.000 A lot of engineers, seriously, a lot of engineers.

01:23:19.000 They want to make good money engineers.

01:23:20.000 It 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.

01:23:27.000 That's actually something that I may do to kind of test it.

01:23:29.000 That's not the question.

01:23:30.000 That's not the question of initiation.

01:23:32.000 Right.

01:23:32.000 That's what I'm thinking now.

01:23:33.000 The question is, are you, initiation is, are you on a side in the culture war?

01:23:38.000 Do you have a, do you have a moral worldview here?

01:23:42.000 I would argue most people have no idea what's going on.

01:23:44.000 That's why they watch shows like this to get a glimpse of what's going on.

01:23:48.000 Whereas I read the news 24-7.

01:23:50.000 So my counter to you, Ian, is yes, we're all in bubbles.

01:23:53.000 I accept that.

01:23:53.000 But what you're talking about with political bubbles, you can go to my Twitter account, look at who I follow.

01:23:57.000 It's a variety of journalists, conservatives, and liberal personalities.

01:24:00.000 And I talk to random people every weekend intentionally to see what regular people are doing and what the conversation is about.

01:24:08.000 Often it's almost always political.

01:24:11.000 If 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.

01:24:17.000 Guarantee you, Google Trends last night, look at Miami versus Indiana, probably like 20 times as large as that.

01:24:23.000 That was the biggest political story of that night.

01:24:26.000 But I will say this.

01:24:27.000 So I was hanging out at Hard Rock for the WPT poker series last weekend.

01:24:34.000 And it was during the Bears game when they got tied up. 0.98

01:24:38.000 Holy crap, dude. 0.99

01:24:38.000 Oh, snap. 0.99

01:24:39.000 How many tables do they have?

01:24:40.000 Like 45.

01:24:41.000 So it's like 500, maybe 1,000 people are in this room.

01:24:44.000 And when they tie the score, the whole room's screaming at the top of their lungs.

01:24:48.000 Yes, they're all searching sports.

01:24:50.000 And then at any table, everyone's discussing something related to what's going on in politics.

01:24:55.000 And then someone, sometimes a dealer will be like, guys, no politics, please.

01:24:58.000 It happens all the time.

01:25:00.000 And then I swear to God, we were talking about something not even political.

01:25:04.000 It was like, I was talking about podcasts.

01:25:06.000 Someone asked me about the podcast and the marketing.

01:25:08.000 And then I said something like, there's different advertisers depending on like political leanings and things like that.

01:25:14.000 But usually you'll go with, and the dealer goes, sir, no politics.

01:25:16.000 And I was like, I did not say anything political.

01:25:19.000 And they were like, you can't even get close to it.

01:25:21.000 But it happens all the time, no matter what.

01:25:23.000 Almost every table conversation, someone's going to be talking about how their job's being impacted.

01:25:28.000 I think the reality is that there was a time when most people didn't pay attention, when sports was the only thing that mattered.

01:25:36.000 But politics became popular.

01:25:38.000 Obama made it really.

01:25:39.000 The heat index on a lot of these issues now.

01:25:41.000 It's undeniable because it's happening on people's front lawns.

01:25:44.000 Like it's happening in their streets.

01:25:46.000 But that also begs the question, is it more in like cities like Florida or New York or Washington?

01:25:53.000 What about the more remote areas and things like this?

01:25:55.000 That constitutes a large portion of the population.

01:25:57.000 I'd be curious if they have strong political leadings and investments as well.

01:26:02.000 Yeah, 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.

01:26:09.000 Again, 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.

01:26:13.000 Like when I think about my upbringing, suburban Memphis, very traditional, sort of normal upbringing.

01:26:19.000 I 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.

01:26:25.000 They're texting me stuff.

01:26:26.000 They're like, this is funny, da-da-da-da.

01:26:27.000 Compared 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.

01:26:38.000 But like, it's true.

01:26:38.000 I think to a degree, like the yuppie class, so to speak, or whoever's sort of supplanted them is like the most politically involved.

01:26:45.000 We got to grab one more segment before we go to our chats and rants.

01:26:48.000 And this one is the most important.

01:26:50.000 From live science.com.

01:26:52.000 Whereas it's live science.

01:26:53.000 I really don't know.

01:26:54.000 Live.

01:26:54.000 Live?

01:26:55.000 Yeah, that's what I'm going to call it.

01:26:56.000 I don't know.

01:26:57.000 Live science is telling you to do something.

01:26:59.000 It is a way of life.

01:26:59.000 Live science.

01:27:01.000 Earth hit by biggest solar radiation storm in 23 years, triggering northern lights as far as southern California.

01:27:10.000 Well, heavens me.

01:27:12.000 I asked our resident space weatherman on Twitter when he mentioned this.

01:27:17.000 I said, how many Aurora events have we had then in the past year?

01:27:21.000 And he's like, this would be, I think, our third or fourth.

01:27:24.000 I can't remember what.

01:27:24.000 No, no, maybe he said five.

01:27:25.000 I'm not sure.

01:27:26.000 In this solar cycle, we've had 20.

01:27:29.000 In the previous solar cycle, it was two or three.

01:27:33.000 This is unprecedented as far as I can tell.

01:27:37.000 He tweets, this is Ben Davidson tweeting.

01:27:42.000 Disaster cycle, the northern lights were seen in Florida again last night.

01:27:47.000 This isn't just a light show.

01:27:49.000 It's a warning.

01:27:49.000 The pole shift, great solar blast, and cyclical disaster of Earth culminates in the next 25 years.

01:27:55.000 Our film releases in one week.

01:27:56.000 Well, I don't know much about nothing, but I can tell you this.

01:28:00.000 Space.com today, northern lights may be visible in 10 states tonight as Earth's magnetic field rings like a bell after CME impact.

01:28:11.000 This is insane that it keeps happening.

01:28:13.000 They're going to use it.

01:28:14.000 In your lifetime, how many times have you seen the Aurora ince?

01:28:20.000 Well, it's happened in the United States like four times now in the past year.

01:28:25.000 But sometimes they fake you out where they're like, oh, you can see it tonight.

01:28:27.000 You got to use a camera to see it.

01:28:28.000 I'm like, this is what a ripoff.

01:28:30.000 Yeah, I mean, sure, but these were legit and people were posting photos from Florida and Texas.

01:28:34.000 Yeah.

01:28:34.000 I lived in all of a pink sky.

01:28:35.000 You know, I've lived in New England most of my life and I never saw the Aurora.

01:28:39.000 Whether it be in New Hampshire, where there's not a significant amount of light pollution, but there is a lot of mountains.

01:28:44.000 I have like Massachusetts.

01:28:45.000 I have an off-the-wall theory.

01:28:47.000 I think it's because all of these iPhone cases now have this like magnet on it.

01:28:49.000 I think we're like all, because we're producing so many magnets.

01:28:52.000 Ian, you could probably speak to it.

01:28:52.000 There might be some.

01:28:54.000 This production of magnets is like really screwing with the results.

01:28:58.000 They're going to use this as justification to turn off the silver markets.

01:29:03.000 We need to shut down the electrical grid to protect the planet.

01:29:07.000 Is that why silver is at like $8,000?

01:29:09.000 Dude, silver is skyrocketing.

01:29:11.000 $94.

01:29:12.000 I 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.

01:29:32.000 And we've reached a point now where people are demanding the actual physical asset.

01:29:38.000 That's one of the reasons trying to stop exporting it.

01:29:41.000 And now, real world price of silver and the paper market have officially decoupled.

01:29:46.000 And it's crazy.

01:29:47.000 The market is doing things that we've never seen before in our lifetime.

01:29:52.000 And it's completely different.

01:29:52.000 $100 silver is apocalyptic.

01:29:54.000 Yeah.

01:29:54.000 I'm anticipating.

01:29:56.000 Something.

01:29:56.000 Something is happening.

01:29:57.000 No, I completely agree.

01:30:00.000 I said it would double.

01:30:01.000 It's tripled.

01:30:01.000 Gold's at $48 or $4,000.

01:30:04.000 Bitcoin and everything else is plummeting. 0.94

01:30:06.000 It's like people want to hold something real and tangible because they perceive everything as fake and gay.

01:30:11.000 Sort of, but this is with the price of silver going up, there's a variety of factors.

01:30:18.000 One could be AI demand.

01:30:21.000 It's useful for computers, to put it simply.

01:30:23.000 It's a conductor.

01:30:24.000 It's one of the best.

01:30:25.000 I think it actually is the best.

01:30:27.000 So they want to buy it up for that reason.

01:30:31.000 However, it's also historically just been a standard hedge.

01:30:34.000 People buy it to store value.

01:30:37.000 Well, particularly with inflation, the printing of money.

01:30:39.000 Otherwise, you didn't need to because silver was money.

01:30:41.000 So 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.

01:30:54.000 There's a squeeze.

01:30:55.000 It's also the squeeze.

01:30:56.000 That's what they call it in like the financial market terms.

01:30:59.000 It's a silver squeeze where banksters are trying, they're trying to get out of their sell orders.

01:31:04.000 And a lot of them probably already hit margin, to be honest.

01:31:06.000 Like a lot of banks, there's no way for them to basically recoup their losses.

01:31:13.000 There's only so far you can go down in a trade before you get margin called and you get taken out of the market.

01:31:18.000 But what is the problem?

01:31:20.000 They were hoping that the money.

01:31:20.000 I don't understand.

01:31:22.000 Hold on.

01:31:22.000 Sorry to interrupt.

01:31:23.000 A lot of people are going to say, I don't know what margin means.

01:31:25.000 I don't know what margin call is.

01:31:26.000 I don't understand what you're saying.

01:31:27.000 So these banksters, they're in short positions, which means they have huge bets that the price of silver is going to go down.

01:31:34.000 And so what they're trying to do is flood the market with these fake sell orders.

01:31:39.000 I equivocate it to like- To trick the price to go down.

01:31:42.000 Yes.

01:31:42.000 Yes, exactly.

01:31:43.000 And people are calling it.

01:31:45.000 It's kind of similar to GameStop, but on a way bigger scale, where everyday people are saying, no, we know exactly what you're doing.

01:31:52.000 And on account of that, we are going to demand the actual metal because there isn't enough of it in actual supply.

01:31:59.000 Yeah, but silver isn't memeing.

01:32:02.000 It kind of is, actually.

01:32:03.000 Like, now only after it reached $85 did people say I better buy some before.

01:32:08.000 They were honestly doing it when I made the call back in June.

01:32:10.000 Like there is a big kind of like underground like Reddit movement.

01:32:13.000 It's a lot bigger than what people think if they don't know to look into it.

01:32:16.000 Why did these institutional buyers short silver in the first place?

01:32:19.000 I'm not sure why they shorted it initially.

01:32:21.000 When I started looking into what was going on, that was already happening well in advance.

01:32:26.000 So I'm not exactly sure why they did that.

01:32:28.000 Because that would just be like such a bizarre move.

01:32:30.000 Yeah.

01:32:31.000 They're sensing instability.

01:32:32.000 Well, there's a lot of people that for a long time, silver kind of has been low compared to gold.

01:32:38.000 And there's a lot of people that were saying, look, the market's being manipulated.

01:32:42.000 The value of silver is much higher than the actual dollar cost because it was hovering between 20 and 30 bucks for almost 10 years.

01:32:49.000 Yeah.

01:32:50.000 Well, you said this occurred in June.

01:32:52.000 In June, yeah.

01:32:53.000 So I mean, it could have been a reaction to the tariffs, potentially.

01:32:56.000 I mean, that's when huge operations had a hike in silver.

01:32:58.000 It's all the platinum metals.

01:33:00.000 I'm looking up ruthenium right now, but you look at rhodium, platinum, palladium.

01:33:04.000 Yeah, but silver is like gold X. Silver is the one that's gone up the most.

01:33:07.000 Some of these other ones are up 40% or 50% or 200%.

01:33:12.000 That's not a meme that it's happening even to gold.

01:33:14.000 Something's happening to the dollar.

01:33:16.000 Yeah, no.

01:33:17.000 And I think, listen, rich people know before you.

01:33:20.000 Trust me.

01:33:21.000 They know before you.

01:33:22.000 You think there's going to be some wealthy, you know what?

01:33:25.000 Ignore rich.

01:33:26.000 It's connected people, leaders of industry.

01:33:29.000 So somebody who's involved in manufacturing or big business, they know somebody in government who says the US dollar is cooked.

01:33:37.000 It's going to collapse.

01:33:39.000 U.S. buying power is gone.

01:33:41.000 And so what do they do?

01:33:42.000 They run and they go and they buy up a bunch of precious metals and then it causes a spike in the market.

01:33:47.000 The people who know buy it up first when it's still floating around 30 bucks.

01:33:51.000 Then it gets to 50-60 and people think there's a run on silver.

01:33:53.000 So they buy a bunch.

01:33:54.000 Now it's at 95.

01:33:56.000 There's no stopping it, honestly.

01:33:57.000 But my point is, you can call it the wisdom of the crowd.

01:34:01.000 Silver spiking says something very bad about our economy.

01:34:04.000 Or you can call it a conspiracy.

01:34:06.000 And I think it's fair to say maybe a little bit of both.

01:34:08.000 But people in the know buying silver are basically screaming in your face, the end is nigh.

01:34:14.000 Maybe World War III.

01:34:16.000 I agree.

01:34:16.000 I agree with you entirely.

01:34:17.000 I mean, look, if a World War III actually broke out, and I don't mean some stupid, is this World War II? 0.68

01:34:21.000 No, 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. 0.72

01:34:35.000 The moment that happens and you get an American politician saying, we now have war on every front in the world.

01:34:44.000 This is World War III.

01:34:45.000 The U.S. dollar goes.

01:34:47.000 Yep.

01:34:49.000 Silver goes, I wonder if it's the government buying up the precious metals.

01:34:54.000 That's what I think it is.

01:34:55.000 Because they know the DAO is going to tank in a time of war and they want to hold something of value that they can then sell for labor.

01:35:00.000 Right. 0.98

01:35:00.000 Something actually tangible because, again, everything's fake and gay. 0.98

01:35:04.000 That's my guess. 0.99

01:35:05.000 That's my guess.

01:35:06.000 Because where did that money come from?

01:35:07.000 If that indicates that the value of all those metals are now some, that money must have appeared.

01:35:11.000 I mean, it could have come out of the curtain.

01:35:14.000 The value of those of those commodities, they're commodities.

01:35:16.000 So the value of those commodities is not reflective of how, or is reflective of how many dollars there are.

01:35:22.000 A big part of the cost here, or a big part of the price increase, is because of all the dollars they printed.

01:35:28.000 Rhodium went from 5,000 to 10,000 this last year.

01:35:31.000 Yeah, I mean, we're living price.

01:35:33.000 Look at how many dollars they printed.

01:35:35.000 They printed 80% of the dollars that exist in the past five years.

01:35:38.000 Look at the way rhodium's gone up.

01:35:39.000 This is so obviously a collusion.

01:35:42.000 It goes up, then it stabilizes, then it goes up, then it's people are doing this and waiting, and then they're doing it and waiting.

01:35:48.000 Waiting to do it again.

01:35:49.000 Ian, Ian, look at the dates, though.

01:35:52.000 This is one year.

01:35:53.000 The dates of the spikes correlate with major geopolitical events and policy issues.

01:35:58.000 That could be, yeah.

01:36:00.000 There's another play here, and that's, of course, AI.

01:36:03.000 And 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.

01:36:14.000 And so they're like, buy it.

01:36:16.000 The price is meaningless to the, like, listen.

01:36:20.000 Let me tell you how horrifying things are.

01:36:22.000 Viral 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.

01:36:30.000 And then there's some busty young woman talking in the exact same video. 1.00

01:36:34.000 It's like, it's AI replacement.

01:36:35.000 And he'll be saying, guys, do you want to learn how to make six figures with an AI brain slop?

01:36:42.000 You know, what do they call them?

01:36:43.000 Like e-girl? 0.89

01:36:44.000 And the girl is moving and saying it like she's the guy.

01:36:46.000 And then the voice slowly turns into the female voice, which is like, I can teach you how to make things just like this. 0.74

01:36:52.000 And then they sell courses on this stuff.

01:36:54.000 Then all these AI slot vision popping up.

01:36:56.000 We 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.

01:37:06.000 And there's also the AI generated news videos, which are making $150K per month.

01:37:12.000 There's a video I saw where it was this guy talking about how he makes, he has it, he makes animal videos on Sora.

01:37:18.000 And it's just like, make a video of a dog saving a baby from a snake.

01:37:22.000 And then he helps it to YouTube and boom, 500,000 views.

01:37:25.000 And then he's like, AI brain slop.

01:37:27.000 He's like, you do 50 of them a day and you're making six figures.

01:37:31.000 This is what's dominating everything.

01:37:34.000 That's the AI we have now.

01:37:36.000 Internally with ChatGPT and Gemini, these have AIs where they're doing much more advanced money-making schemes.

01:37:43.000 Go on any one of these chats.

01:37:45.000 I've done it.

01:37:46.000 And say, based on current trends and news analysis, which publicly available stock do you believe will go up?

01:37:52.000 And it'll be like, here's a list of top 10 stocks based on aggregation, which are expected to rise.

01:37:56.000 And then you buy them.

01:37:58.000 And then you buy, hey, don't take it from me.

01:37:59.000 That's AI telling you what to do, not me.

01:38:01.000 I'm not giving any advice.

01:38:02.000 Now, imagine you owned the back end.

01:38:05.000 All you have to do is say, go on the internet and trade stocks until I have $20 billion.

01:38:10.000 And it goes done.

01:38:12.000 And then you could probably generate $20 billion in a few months.

01:38:14.000 Yeah, it's kind of like the way you have politicians not able to buy and trade stocks.

01:38:17.000 You might want to have AI corporations not able to buy and trade.

01:38:20.000 There 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.

01:38:30.000 And as soon as the human put the order in, the computer would execute a sale to get a fee and then intercept the transaction.

01:38:37.000 So it would take percentages of the sales and generate revenue for nothing.

01:38:41.000 There are stories of people who are doing Ethereum arbitrage, making millions of dollars per month.

01:38:45.000 And 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.

01:38:51.000 Because the way it works is you'll say, like, I'm willing to bid up to three grand for an Ethereum.

01:38:55.000 And then the price could fluctuate a little bit.

01:38:58.000 The 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.

01:39:05.000 They'll use multiple networks.

01:39:08.000 Yep.

01:39:08.000 Like a hedge, like a buy and sell order simultaneously so you can't lose either way, basically.

01:39:13.000 You could edit it up on multiple networks.

01:39:14.000 Somebody says, I'd like to buy Ethereum and I'm willing to pay $3,000 for it.

01:39:18.000 The AI sees the order go in and quickly acquires the Ethereum and sells it to the person.

01:39:23.000 It intercepts the order and executes it faster so that it gets, I'm, interesting.

01:39:29.000 You got to look at how it works because I'm not exactly sure.

01:39:32.000 The general idea was in stocks as well.

01:39:37.000 If 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.

01:39:52.000 Something 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.

01:40:03.000 But it's a machine doing tens of thousands per hour.

01:40:05.000 So the person's making millions of dollars a year.

01:40:08.000 It's crazy.

01:40:08.000 Doing nothing, turning a program on pressing enter and walking away.

01:40:11.000 That's insane.

01:40:12.000 Now imagine what Google is doing.

01:40:14.000 They don't care about money.

01:40:15.000 It's completely meaningless to them.

01:40:17.000 They're saying they go to the AI and they say, go on the market and generate $20 billion.

01:40:22.000 And it goes done.

01:40:24.000 When 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.

01:40:33.000 Not manipulating, but buying and trading stocks.

01:40:35.000 And it can see the trades faster than you, so it knows exactly what's going to happen.

01:40:38.000 It can see the orders come in so quick, it knows when to get in and when to get out.

01:40:43.000 So my point is they're generating billions of dollars they don't care about and they're probably saying just buy it this way.

01:40:47.000 Oh, I think I heard of it.

01:40:47.000 It's like a sandwich bought, I think, is what it was called.

01:40:51.000 This has been how stock market trading has been for a long time now.

01:40:54.000 It's just AI executing faster than a human can.

01:40:57.000 It's crazy.

01:40:57.000 You can't beat them.

01:41:54.000 And I want to stress that U.S.-based customer support.

01:41:57.000 I called, my buddy Robbie was calling a restaurant for reservation, and the guy who answered was Indian.

01:42:03.000 And he just goes, Hey, bro, I got to be honest.

01:42:05.000 Like, I know you're in India.

01:42:06.000 Can you connect me to the restaurant?

01:42:07.000 And the guy goes, but why?

01:42:08.000 I can do it for you.

01:42:09.000 He goes, I really just need to talk to the restaurant.

01:42:10.000 And it went, okay.

01:42:11.000 And I was like, that was wild, dude.

01:42:13.000 What happened?

01:42:14.000 So you'll also get antivirus, VPM, cloud backup, so you're protected holistically.

01:42:57.000 Let's see what's up.

01:42:58.000 B. Mobius says, Newsom said that he should have brought knee pads to Davos. 0.94

01:43:03.000 Awfully homophobic of him. 0.83

01:43:04.000 That's funny. 0.93

01:43:09.000 Crispy Joe says, wait, are you related to Rodney Dangerfield, Amy Dangerfield?

01:43:12.000 It's not even his real name.

01:43:14.000 It was a stage name.

01:43:16.000 Yeah.

01:43:16.000 But so no.

01:43:17.000 Dangerfield's my real last name.

01:43:18.000 That's not Rodney's real.

01:43:19.000 Do you know what Olivia Wilde's real name is?

01:43:21.000 No.

01:43:22.000 Do you know?

01:43:23.000 Do not.

01:43:23.000 I don't know who that is.

01:43:24.000 Tate no?

01:43:25.000 Does someone want to look up?

01:43:26.000 Olivia Wilde, the actress?

01:43:27.000 Yeah.

01:43:28.000 You don't know who she is? 0.91

01:43:29.000 No, I know who she is. 0.72

01:43:29.000 Of course. 0.72

01:43:31.000 You want to look up her wiki and then say her real name?

01:43:34.000 I want to say it out loud.

01:43:35.000 You do.

01:43:35.000 You should.

01:43:36.000 That's offensive.

01:43:38.000 Olivia Wilde with an E. Olivia Jane Cockburn.

01:43:38.000 What do you mean?

01:43:42.000 It's Cockburn.

01:43:44.000 Oh, that's my word.

01:43:44.000 No.

01:43:45.000 She changed it.

01:43:46.000 Shout out.

01:43:46.000 Wow.

01:43:47.000 Olivia.

01:43:48.000 Sometimes stage name isn't necessary.

01:43:50.000 I get it.

01:43:50.000 Okay.

01:43:51.000 Jane Cockburn.

01:43:53.000 What a name.

01:43:53.000 Yeah, she wasn't trying to be an adult.

01:43:56.000 No.

01:43:57.000 Fair enough.

01:43:58.000 Cockburn.

01:43:59.000 All right.

01:44:00.000 Culture Americano says, I watch every episode of Tim Kest.

01:44:02.000 I was incredibly happy to see Nicholas on the show yesterday.

01:44:04.000 I think he is best on a panel rather than solo.

01:44:07.000 He is hilarious in a panel setting.

01:44:09.000 Yeah, it's funny because, like I was saying, I hide nothing.

01:44:17.000 It was hard to bring him on the show in the past because of the censorship.

01:44:19.000 And so I had said there needs to be like a news thing that happens with him.

01:44:23.000 We can bring him on.

01:44:24.000 Makes it harder for them to just censor and delete the episode like they did with Alex Jones.

01:44:27.000 I don't think he said something like he didn't, I don't know, he criticized that comment order, but it's true. 1.00

01:44:32.000 And now that they've eased up and there's no problem, we have him on.

01:44:35.000 The other thing is, everybody who's had him on has struggle sessioned him.

01:44:38.000 And when Tucker didn't, they're like, Tucker, why didn't you struggle session him? 1.00

01:44:41.000 And I'm like, that's stupid. 1.00

01:44:42.000 I don't know. 0.99

01:44:43.000 The 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.

01:44:49.000 So it's like, if, you know, when Nick made comments about Jewish people, I pushed back a little bit.

01:44:57.000 I questioned, and I said, well, your answer is your answer, I guess.

01:45:00.000 I made my point.

01:45:02.000 But it wasn't real quick.

01:45:04.000 With the communists, they get antagonistic on matters of fact, not opinion.

01:45:08.000 Nick has got opinions I disagree with for the most part.

01:45:10.000 I also think a lot of his views are taken out of context.

01:45:13.000 Like, well, and we knew this.

01:45:15.000 He explains that he's very offensive and he offends everybody and we get it.

01:45:19.000 And fine.

01:45:20.000 But I don't live in this struggle session reality.

01:45:23.000 Look, if you guys don't like the guy, that was always allowed.

01:45:26.000 But we've had way worse people on this show.

01:45:28.000 He's also comedic.

01:45:29.000 Like if you watch his show, he is truly hilarious.

01:45:32.000 And so he does say a lot of things that are hyperbolic.

01:45:35.000 He makes a lot of jokes.

01:45:36.000 He's very edgy.

01:45:37.000 But if you actually watch his show for any extended period of time, you extract a lot of value from it.

01:45:43.000 In my humble opinion.

01:45:44.000 And he likes teaching.

01:45:44.000 He knows a lot.

01:45:46.000 He's very knowledgeable.

01:45:47.000 My favorite thing about him is, well, one of my favorite things, he really likes to listen.

01:45:50.000 Like, that's why he was doing so well.

01:45:52.000 It does well in group settings.

01:45:53.000 And like, if someone cuts him off, he'll just stop and listen to what they're saying and like go in that direction.

01:45:58.000 And he's still, his brain's agile enough to just kind of flip it.

01:46:01.000 Versus 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.

01:46:08.000 So many of them are like, you get to know you.

01:46:09.000 Who are you?

01:46:10.000 What's your backstory?

01:46:11.000 We've heard it all before.

01:46:12.000 Anyone who's tuned into Nick, we know it already.

01:46:14.000 Like, can we get to the crux of the issues, which he gets to do in a panel setting?

01:46:18.000 I mean, here's the other thing, too.

01:46:19.000 Like, we asked him why he, like, he said Hitler was cool. 0.85

01:46:21.000 And he's like, he said he thought he was.

01:46:23.000 And it's like, so tell him, it's bad.

01:46:25.000 I don't know.

01:46:26.000 Like, do you not engage with people with bad opinions ever? 0.98

01:46:29.000 I say, okay, that's dumb, I guess. 0.89

01:46:32.000 I like it. 1.00

01:46:32.000 Remember, communists, they're stupid too. 1.00

01:46:34.000 And Stalin was evil and communism is evil. 1.00

01:46:37.000 We'll tell them to their faces.

01:46:38.000 The people that really go hard against Nick and do the struggle session and stuff, it's not really about Nick.

01:46:46.000 It's about them letting the world know that they're a good person.

01:46:50.000 Just like when we had Straight.

01:46:51.000 Yeah, 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.

01:47:02.000 And that's the same exact thing that people would do.

01:47:05.000 What doesn't work is when she's on and she's like, what about Venezuela?

01:47:08.000 And I'm like, I don't think we should have done it.

01:47:09.000 She's like, you don't?

01:47:11.000 And I'm like, you think you're going on this like far-right conservative, everything's MAGA show, Trump does no wrong.

01:47:16.000 And then we're like, no, Trump does a lot of things wrong.

01:47:18.000 And then they're like, oh, but I'm just here to pretend like you're my enemy.

01:47:21.000 And 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.

01:47:29.000 I think there were a few liberals that we invited on the show that agreed to and then at the last minute said no.

01:47:35.000 And I think the reason was they would be forced to reconcile with their agreement on many conservative issues.

01:47:42.000 And 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.

01:47:50.000 But 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.

01:47:57.000 And they're going to agree.

01:47:58.000 And then they're going to have to explain to the liberals why they agreed with someone who was far right.

01:48:02.000 Yeah.

01:48:02.000 Because it's really just tribal.

01:48:03.000 I 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.

01:48:17.000 And so they refuse to concede in any way, even when it's completely logical.

01:48:22.000 I mean, you do get like the government bootlickers on the right who anytime you say something about Trump, they get really mad at you.

01:48:26.000 But, you know, it's always going to happen.

01:48:28.000 Let's grab some more.

01:48:29.000 We got Jacob Hawley says, did you guys see the new bill passing through the Virginia legislature?

01:48:33.000 It reduces minimum sentences for CP grape.

01:48:39.000 Let's just call it what it is.

01:48:41.000 Child porn rape and assault of officers and federal officers. 1.00

01:48:44.000 Crazy. 1.00

01:48:45.000 Christian Heinz posted about it.

01:48:47.000 Indeed.

01:48:48.000 That was part of what Greg Price was talking about.

01:48:52.000 You know, I am concerned about minimum sentence requirements in general.

01:48:57.000 I do think there are certain like rape and child abuse.

01:49:02.000 I'm totally fine with being like, it's life.

01:49:05.000 You're lucky if it's life and not death.

01:49:07.000 Should be the wood chipper. 0.87

01:49:09.000 Like 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.

01:49:18.000 I think I got a better option for minimum absolute sentencing.

01:49:23.000 Any offense against children, sexual abuse, is life in prison.

01:49:28.000 And if you guys want to argue for death penalty, have that argument.

01:49:30.000 I'm saying the minimum is life.

01:49:32.000 Yeah.

01:49:32.000 We absolutely missed it out.

01:49:34.000 You are gone from society.

01:49:35.000 Goodbye.

01:49:35.000 Thank you.

01:49:36.000 Well, there's no cure for the island.

01:49:39.000 I propose the island.

01:49:41.000 Yeah.

01:49:41.000 The island is we send you to an island.

01:49:43.000 Have fun.

01:49:44.000 She's a result of that experiment.

01:49:47.000 We could use Australia.

01:49:49.000 The U.S. should send all of our convicts to Australia.

01:49:52.000 Again, they went from European culmins to American culmins. 0.90

01:49:55.000 Yeah, what do you think?

01:49:55.000 Australia is going to be a really great place.

01:49:57.000 Wow.

01:49:58.000 Yeah, what do you think we're running Greenland for?

01:49:59.000 Just like, oh, it's strategically important.

01:50:02.000 That's all window dressing. 0.85

01:50:03.000 We want to make a pedophile. 0.89

01:50:05.000 But it's going to be amazing, a pedophile island. 0.92

01:50:08.000 We already had one.

01:50:09.000 Didn't go so well.

01:50:10.000 And it's going to be like the Truman show where we film and they have to fight.

01:50:14.000 The only thing they can eat is like whale.

01:50:16.000 Yeah, they're just like on dog sleds going around.

01:50:18.000 It's just crazy.

01:50:19.000 The only thing that we do is we send pedophiles and polar bears.

01:50:23.000 Right. 0.55

01:50:23.000 And then just let's go. 0.55

01:50:24.000 Truman show. 0.91

01:50:25.000 It's only pedophiles and polar bears. 0.94

01:50:27.000 Horrible to make it a TV show. 0.91

01:50:29.000 Here we go.

01:50:30.000 James 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.

01:50:37.000 Dems are already expected to lose 10 to 13 seats in the 2030 census.

01:50:41.000 It won't matter if we lose in the midterms and then they erase everything Trump is doing and open the border again.

01:50:48.000 Yeah, literally.

01:50:50.000 Just 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.

01:50:59.000 At least you will won't.

01:51:01.000 At least you will won't.

01:51:03.000 I think you meant to say, at least you won't be alone in there.

01:51:06.000 That's the joke.

01:51:07.000 The joke is that we're all going to be breaking rocks together.

01:51:09.000 So at least I'll have good company.

01:51:11.000 I've been practicing banging out license plates.

01:51:13.000 I'm getting pretty good.

01:51:15.000 You have laser precision.

01:51:17.000 Yeah, I think the Libtard Gestapo will be happy with my license plate performance. 0.99

01:51:21.000 It 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?

01:51:30.000 What are you going to do?

01:51:31.000 Crickets.

01:51:32.000 2020 comes by.

01:51:33.000 We're like, we want our guy back in power.

01:51:35.000 He comes back.

01:51:37.000 What's the plan?

01:51:38.000 They're like, we want to undo some damage with ice.

01:51:40.000 Like, okay, fine.

01:51:41.000 Assume that's done.

01:51:42.000 What's the plan?

01:51:44.000 What's the goal?

01:51:45.000 Well, 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. 0.66

01:51:53.000 Like, everything is downstream from immigration in the West.

01:51:56.000 In 2017, there was no downstream, and it was the same lackluster inaction.

01:52:01.000 Nothing was getting solved.

01:52:02.000 Like, problems were exacerbating.

01:52:04.000 I think the executive has been much more effective than the first term.

01:52:08.000 Again, there's like a lot to be lacking.

01:52:10.000 That's pretty much what we've been discussing these last few weeks.

01:52:12.000 But I do think there's a big difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2.

01:52:16.000 Again, is it great?

01:52:18.000 Not necessarily.

01:52:19.000 Again, there's a lot of complaints, but I think the ball is moving down the field.

01:52:23.000 And it's just a matter of now we're going to need to start seeing some 20-yard gains.

01:52:26.000 It's worth pointing out that the economy was doing really, really, really well under Trump 1 as well.

01:52:31.000 And that's a big deal for a lot of people.

01:52:32.000 We'll grab some more.

01:52:33.000 What we got.

01:52:33.000 Meeto says, Tim, the universe is ancient.

01:52:35.000 The sun a couple billion years old.

01:52:36.000 It's not unprecedented.

01:52:37.000 It's a cycle.

01:52:38.000 You've lived less than 40 years.

01:52:40.000 It's not even a blink of an eye in the cosmic history.

01:52:42.000 Ah, so pedantic.

01:52:45.000 I'm talking about American history.

01:52:47.000 I'm talking about our lifetimes.

01:52:48.000 I'm not talking about five billion years ago or 40 million years ago.

01:52:54.000 And isn't it something like the Stegosaurus is closer to us than the Tyrannosaurus in time frame or something like that?

01:53:00.000 Literally.

01:53:01.000 Yeah, they were tens of millions of years apart.

01:53:03.000 The 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.

01:53:12.000 We recognize that.

01:53:13.000 It's just that in our lifetimes, it's happening around Palmeem.

01:53:17.000 This is like childlike thinking.

01:53:18.000 Like, 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.

01:53:25.000 Oh my gosh.

01:53:26.000 It's like, okay, dude.

01:53:27.000 You know.

01:53:28.000 Let's go.

01:53:28.000 All right.

01:53:30.000 Did you ever cry New Year's Eve because the year was ending?

01:53:33.000 Yeah, me too.

01:53:33.000 Yeah.

01:53:34.000 That's why I'm upset.

01:53:34.000 Yeah.

01:53:36.000 Yeah, I'm upset about them ending daylight savings time as well because I actually kind of like it.

01:53:36.000 I was like eight.

01:53:40.000 It breaks up the year.

01:53:42.000 I love setting my clock.

01:53:42.000 I love that.

01:53:43.000 Silas says, thoughts on Amelia from Pathways.

01:53:46.000 What's that?

01:53:47.000 Dude, I keep getting people tweeting at me and Connor to cover this.

01:53:50.000 I'm going to have to tackle it.

01:53:52.000 She's AI, isn't she?

01:53:54.000 Is that what it is?

01:53:55.000 I don't know.

01:53:55.000 I saw some video where she was talking to King Arthur or something.

01:53:59.000 I don't know what it is.

01:54:00.000 It's on Twitter.

01:54:00.000 Let's go.

01:54:02.000 And she was complaining about Muslims.

01:54:03.000 She's a UK government-funded educational visual novel.

01:54:06.000 Oh, and people are putting her in anti-Muslim things. 0.97

01:54:10.000 Nah, see, I understand.

01:54:10.000 Okay, that's it.

01:54:13.000 All right.

01:54:14.000 Let's grab a couple more here while we're all here and having a good time.

01:54:18.000 Having a good time.

01:54:18.000 Surgery.

01:54:20.000 20-something Drifter says, I'm a former Minnesota state government employee.

01:54:25.000 Well, I didn't see fraud there.

01:54:27.000 I'm not surprised it's rampant.

01:54:28.000 Easily the most disjointed and disorganized place. 0.99

01:54:31.000 The whole damn thing needs investigation. 0.97

01:54:33.000 I think the feds should take it over. 0.99

01:54:35.000 It's not a joke.

01:54:36.000 What?

01:54:36.000 Minnesota?

01:54:37.000 Yeah, they got to ask for it.

01:54:38.000 It's like they flooded the state with people from fraud land and they commit fraud.

01:54:42.000 Fraudline India. 0.99

01:54:43.000 All right.

01:54:43.000 Joel Ketchum says, per Timcast tradition, I'm currently at the hospital with my third kid, first daughter, Gemma Bay Mary Ketchum.

01:54:52.000 All right.

01:54:52.000 Nice watch.

01:54:53.000 Let's go.

01:54:54.000 The World Patriot.

01:54:55.000 A lot of work to do.

01:54:56.000 Just lock in as soon as you can start walking and talking.

01:54:58.000 Figure out gravity.

01:54:59.000 Neglectful Saw says, Tim to Nick, what if we magically, ethnically cleansed USA so that they were Indian but still believed in the same culture? 0.86

01:55:06.000 What a wild take.

01:55:07.000 Think hard, which is literally not what I said.

01:55:09.000 I 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?

01:55:19.000 And I think Nick was trying to avoid getting a bit aggressive on the issue of race and genetics.

01:55:24.000 So he left it as he thinks a white country is better. 0.98

01:55:28.000 My 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.

01:55:39.000 Do you disagree with that?

01:55:42.000 50-50.

01:55:43.000 I 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.

01:55:55.000 Shorter people have shorter doorways.

01:55:57.000 You know what I mean?

01:55:58.000 Meaning, 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. 1.00

01:56:08.000 There will be different styles of architecture based on their bodies.

01:56:12.000 If you did Scandinavians, they're all very tall.

01:56:15.000 You're going to get a completely different country.

01:56:17.000 That's the obvious thing.

01:56:18.000 The things that aren't so obvious is how does it manifest in terms of behaviors and social cohesion.

01:56:25.000 But I do think it's fair to say that if you look at Japan, there is, I'll put it simply.

01:56:30.000 I think nature and nurture are 50-50.

01:56:33.000 I think people are largely driven by their development in the world that is around them.

01:56:39.000 That's why you'll meet someone who's Asian but was born in America and they have a North American accent.

01:56:45.000 They don't have a Chinese accent because nature is more important. 0.99

01:56:48.000 That 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.

01:56:59.000 When 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.

01:57:10.000 And I do know that there's like a strengthening of the genome when you introduce multitudes of genetics.

01:57:15.000 It's called hybrid vigor.

01:57:16.000 Hybrid vigor.

01:57:17.000 It selects for the strongest and then passes those on.

01:57:19.000 I highly, I highly, highly recommend.

01:57:22.000 Well, it's not necessarily a great case.

01:57:24.000 It's volatility.

01:57:25.000 I highly recommend.

01:57:26.000 Oh, it's volatility.

01:57:27.000 Tell me more.

01:57:28.000 It could go either way.

01:57:29.000 Yeah.

01:57:30.000 You could get really bad or really good, but the thing is, the really bad don't survive and the really good does.

01:57:34.000 So with hybrid vigor, you're mixing it up.

01:57:38.000 And then you might get, let's just keep it away from humans for the sake of tantalizing.

01:57:44.000 Well, I'm just keeping it hypothetical.

01:57:45.000 Like you have, you know, a lemming from Mexico and a lemming from Russia. 1.00

01:57:51.000 When they breed, they could have one retard baby and one super strong, super intelligent baby. 0.99

01:57:56.000 Well, natural selection, the retard one doesn't survive and have babies. 1.00

01:58:00.000 And so you get hybrid vigor.

01:58:00.000 The strong one does.

01:58:02.000 Is 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? 0.97

01:58:10.000 So if the closer you are, the high, like incest, you have a high rate of, I forgot exactly what the reason was.

01:58:18.000 I 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?

01:58:31.000 No, It's the expression of genes duplicate or something like that.

01:58:34.000 That's what causes the embryo. 1.00

01:58:36.000 Like 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. 0.99

01:58:45.000 No, what was the family, the European royalty? 0.99

01:58:50.000 Habsburgs.

01:58:51.000 I thought it was.

01:58:52.000 Well, that's why Jimmy Carr had a bit where he's like, you should thank the Catholic Church.

01:58:55.000 I'm a Protestant, but you should be thanking the Catholic Church for chins because in the 12th century, they banned incest.

01:59:01.000 They 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.

01:59:07.000 And so when they did that, it saved everyone's chin.

01:59:09.000 So the Catholic Church was engaged in looks maxing on everybody in Iceland are cousins.

01:59:14.000 Did you guys see in the UK they were trying to put out propaganda actually encouraging cousins to marry?

01:59:19.000 Yeah, and they're like gaslighting people like it's like white people doing it. 0.60

01:59:22.000 I'm like, I think we, I think Gavin McGinnis laid this out from the Joe Rogan.

01:59:25.000 Yeah, Iceland, because it doesn't have a lot of to and from and it's been settled by one group of people.

01:59:32.000 They're mostly related.

01:59:34.000 And there's an app you can download to make sure you're not cousins.

01:59:37.000 Oh, God.

01:59:38.000 Yeah.

01:59:39.000 I need that.

01:59:40.000 You know what they need?

01:59:41.000 Iceland needs an influx of fresh genes.

01:59:43.000 That's what I've been thinking.

01:59:45.000 Ian.

01:59:45.000 Is Iceland next?

01:59:46.000 You're a strapping young man.

01:59:47.000 You should buy Iceland.

01:59:49.000 Buyers.

01:59:50.000 Buy it from the Icelanders.

01:59:51.000 Take it with economic prowess.

01:59:54.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:59:56.000 So join us.

01:59:57.000 All right, what do you see in Iceland?

01:59:58.000 Polypure says the baby boom took place in the 1950s, 1957 being the largest birth year in U.S. history.

02:00:03.000 Tim, baby boomers are 56 to 71.

02:00:06.000 There was no baby boom at all in the 1940s.

02:00:09.000 Okay.

02:00:10.000 Baby boomer years. 0.73

02:00:12.000 The boom happened right after.

02:00:14.000 46 to 64.

02:00:15.000 Yeah, they got back from the war and they were like, I'm not wasting another day.

02:00:18.000 The oldest baby boomers are now at life expectancy. 0.96

02:00:21.000 I didn't make this up.

02:00:22.000 I was reading the research on generations and what's called the mortality shelf or the mortality cliff happens to every generation.

02:00:28.000 When a generation reaches this age, the mortality rate for that generation skyrockets.

02:00:33.000 So 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?

02:00:41.000 He's the oldest.

02:00:41.000 Yep.

02:00:42.000 He's the oldest boy.

02:00:43.000 Yeah.

02:00:43.000 And he's 79 still.

02:00:44.000 How old is he?

02:00:45.000 79?

02:00:46.000 That's life expectancy.

02:00:47.000 So what happens is boomers now are at 60 million because there's natural attrition.

02:00:52.000 As time goes on, people die.

02:00:53.000 And the next five, 10 years, they expect it to fall down to like 20 million.

02:00:57.000 Like rapid death because they're all going to be in their 80s.

02:01:00.000 Yeah, 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.

02:01:08.000 So, you know, these things are delayed onset, so to speak.

02:01:11.000 Exploding tree risk?

02:01:13.000 Oh, yeah.

02:01:14.000 That's happening in Minnesota.

02:01:15.000 Yeah, these trees are exploding because it's getting so cold.

02:01:18.000 Yeah.

02:01:18.000 Really?

02:01:19.000 They don't literally explode.

02:01:20.000 They crack and pop as the frozen sap expands and then breaks the.

02:01:24.000 Wow, that's it.

02:01:25.000 Apparently, it causes problems for like deer and stuff.

02:01:27.000 It messes with their migration patterns because they hear like popping and stuff going off.

02:01:31.000 And so they just like run around. 0.97

02:01:32.000 Are the deer retarded? 0.99

02:01:33.000 Yeah, it disrupts like deer populations.

02:02:21.000 We 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.

02:02:29.000 The great Nathan Halberstad, he brought in all the data and flushed it out for us.

02:02:32.000 So go check that out.

02:02:33.000 It's great episodes.

02:02:34.000 I am Phil That Remains on Twix.

02:02:46.000 You can check out the band All That Remains on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, YouTube, and Deezer.

02:02:50.000 Don't forget the left lane is for crime.

02:02:52.000 We'll see all of you at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL in about 30 seconds.

02:02:56.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:04:40.000 I went to Best Buy today.

02:04:43.000 Nice.

02:04:43.000 And we were looking at computers and I saw the new yoga dual monitor touchscreen.

02:04:52.000 And 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.

02:05:02.000 Can you also snap those monitors on the sides of that thing too that you were talking about?

02:05:06.000 I don't know that you need four monitors.

02:05:06.000 Yeah, you probably could.

02:05:08.000 I don't.

02:05:09.000 Maybe he might, but.

02:05:10.000 And that's got a little keyboard on the bottom, which is fine and a wireless mouse.

02:05:13.000 And I'm like, on the road, it's got two USB-Cs, so I got an Elgato microphone.

02:05:17.000 Hopefully it works because we use all the super high-end stuff.

02:05:20.000 We use the SM7Bs.

02:05:21.000 But the webcam I use for the mobile kit, which I used a couple times while we were out here, fantastic.

02:05:28.000 It's an amazing app.

02:05:29.000 I think it's what you, what's that, 360?

02:05:33.000 Insta360.

02:05:34.000 It's an Insta360 webcam.

02:05:36.000 It's really good.

02:05:37.000 You can control it.

02:05:38.000 It's like PTZ.

02:05:40.000 So we were getting these new computers tried.

02:05:42.000 I'm really excited for them.

02:05:43.000 That's the dangerous conversation of the day.

02:05:47.000 I'm getting a new laptop.

02:05:48.000 Actually, I don't own a laptop.

02:05:51.000 I don't own a phone or either.

02:05:52.000 Man, I just, my laptop got.

02:05:54.000 That's my own.

02:05:54.000 I technically own everyone's as the business does.

02:05:57.000 True.

02:05:58.000 You own a lot of laptops.

02:05:59.000 It's actually pretty crazy because at some point, I just didn't have a computer anymore, which is really weird.

02:06:03.000 I think technically you own a company that owns a bunch of laptops.

02:06:05.000 You don't own it.

02:06:06.000 Here's what I mean.

02:06:07.000 Like for most of my life, I had a laptop everywhere I went.

02:06:10.000 You know, I turned 19.

02:06:14.000 I was like, I need to get a computer to be able to do work and stuff.

02:06:16.000 Bought a laptop.

02:06:17.000 Carried it around with me.

02:06:18.000 Got old, upgraded, had a laptop.

02:06:21.000 And then, like, six years ago, when I, I just, the laptop didn't get opened and I wasn't using it.

02:06:28.000 And now I literally have no laptop.

02:06:31.000 No video games, nothing.

02:06:33.000 And I was like, that's kind of why I used to play Civ all the time because I had the computer or World of Warcraft or whatever.

02:06:38.000 All I use it for is games.

02:06:39.000 I don't use it for anything.

02:06:41.000 Not even a dog.

02:06:42.000 Technically, I don't even have a phone.

02:06:43.000 There's a phone that I use more than others, but there's like 15 company phones for various reasons.

02:06:48.000 And other people will do stuff with them.

02:06:52.000 So when you're online, what do you use?

02:06:54.000 I see you like browsing, scrolling a phone or something every once in a while.

02:06:57.000 Is there just one of your company phones?

02:06:58.000 There's like, there's, I don't know how many phones this company has.

02:07:02.000 Oh, God.

02:07:02.000 I don't know.

02:07:03.000 I just got a Z-Fold.

02:07:05.000 The new one, it's nuts.

02:07:06.000 It's so thin.

02:07:07.000 The ones that it folds in half?

02:07:09.000 Yeah, I had the five, and I skipped the six.

02:07:14.000 Bless you, God.

02:07:14.000 Bless you.

02:07:15.000 We were at Best Buy, and the new Z-Fold is almost as thin as a cell phone.

02:07:15.000 God bless you.

02:07:20.000 It's this GAN technology.

02:07:22.000 Gallium nitride batteries are very thin because they can stay super cool.

02:07:25.000 So they can pack them real tight together.

02:07:27.000 Gallium nitride batteries?

02:07:29.000 G-AN. 0.95

02:07:29.000 GAN. 0.95

02:07:30.000 You'll see it.

02:07:30.000 Is that what they're putting in phones now?

02:07:31.000 Yeah, they're like four-year-old and battery chargers, basically, batteries.

02:07:36.000 Yeah, gallium nitride.

02:07:36.000 Really?

02:07:38.000 I like that.

02:07:39.000 Oh, but that was like a year ago.

02:07:40.000 I don't know if they've made an advancement since.

02:07:42.000 I know things are leapfrogging now with AI.

02:07:45.000 It literally just says it's not a new type of battery chemistry, but it refers to batteries using GAN components in their charging circuitry.

02:07:52.000 Yeah, I was reading a lot about discharging wattage and stuff, and I fell into GAN and understanding how they can make these things smaller.

02:07:52.000 Yeah.

02:07:59.000 You're reading about discharging?

02:08:00.000 Dude.

02:08:01.000 Yeah, my power went out and I had nothing more to do than just discharge and recharge and eventually you got discharge again.

02:08:09.000 Eventually I ordered some battery.

02:08:10.000 There we go.

02:08:11.000 Finished.

02:08:13.000 So the biggest stories on the New York Post are Miami quarterback and handshake drama.

02:08:18.000 Usha Vance is pregnant.

02:08:20.000 Southwest Airlines surprise flyers with unusual boarding process.

02:08:24.000 Here's who gets on first.

02:08:26.000 Contentious Bills meeting revealed before coaches firing didn't sit well.

02:08:30.000 It's a slow news day.

02:08:31.000 The memes surrounding Usha Vance being pregnant are great. 0.91

02:08:34.000 Marco Rubio is going to be the wet nurse and he's, you know, the meme where he finds out whatever he's got to do.

02:08:40.000 And then, of course, there's the Puez VP.

02:08:46.000 You know what someone needs to do?

02:08:47.000 Have you guys ever seen the episode of Simpsons where Homer lists all his jobs?

02:08:51.000 He's like sitting in bed and he's like, Merge, I've had a lot of jobs in my life.

02:08:55.000 The snow plowman, professional bowler, professional gambler, astronaut.

02:09:00.000 And he just goes through all the lists because that's what the Simpsons basically is.

02:09:04.000 It's like rodent control.

02:09:06.000 Someone needs to do that, but put Marco Rubio's head.

02:09:08.000 That's what I'm wondering.

02:09:09.000 Is he going to be the candidate?

02:09:10.000 Like, is JD Vance like a shoe-in or is Marco going to run against him?

02:09:14.000 Of the last information that I heard was Marco Rubio was looking to be the vice president.

02:09:20.000 Okay, I gotta play this.

02:09:21.000 Amy, can you say no again?

02:09:22.000 Hold on.

02:09:24.000 There's an R in there.

02:09:28.000 Okay, here we go.

02:09:29.000 You know, I've had a lot of jobs.

02:09:31.000 Sponsor, mascot, astronaut, imitation crusty, baby proofer, trucker, hippie, plowdriver, food critic, conceptual artist, grease salesman, carney, mayor, grifter, bodyguard for the mayor, country western manager, garbage commissioner, mountain climber, farmer, inventor, smithers, poochie, celebrity assistant, power plant worker, fortune cookie, writer, beer bearing, clinky mark, clerk, homophobe, and missionary.

02:09:51.000 But particularly, homophobe.

02:09:53.000 I like how it says mayor, bodyguard for the mayor.

02:09:56.000 You guys are getting paid for this? 0.99

02:09:58.000 It shows ridiculous. 1.00

02:09:58.000 You're getting paid for homophobia. 1.00

02:10:00.000 I mean, it's crazy how much they pay so far.

02:10:02.000 I'm getting rinsed, dude.

02:10:04.000 The Simpsons predictions are kind of wild, though.

02:10:07.000 Like, how did they do that?

02:10:08.000 Would you like to?

02:10:10.000 What is an example of them?

02:10:11.000 I've heard that they do that.

02:10:12.000 Trump being elected.

02:10:14.000 There was one that actually came out in circulation recently where Trump like.

02:10:18.000 I don't know if this is made up.

02:10:19.000 You can't tell what's AI and not anymore.

02:10:21.000 And 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.

02:10:29.000 Oh, that was fake.

02:10:30.000 It was AI.

02:10:31.000 It's sort of hard to tell what's AI slop and not anymore.

02:10:31.000 Yeah.

02:10:34.000 It sucks. 0.99

02:10:34.000 And now they AI. 0.99

02:10:35.000 They're like, oh, here's Indiana winning the college football playoffs.

02:10:37.000 There were a bunch, though.

02:10:38.000 There have been a bunch that actually came true. 0.99

02:10:40.000 I'm really twisted up with the AI shit. 0.98

02:10:42.000 Like, man, I go on Twitter and I'm like, this is fake. 0.99

02:10:46.000 40,000 likes.

02:10:46.000 This is fake.

02:10:48.000 It could be.

02:10:48.000 You have to verify literally everything because people like rage baiting as well.

02:10:54.000 Which is, it's people on the Republican and conservative side too, oftentimes, which is really annoying.

02:11:00.000 I'm getting rinsed by the animal ones.

02:11:02.000 I can usually catch if it's humans involved, but when it's like a dog doing something really special, it gets me.

02:11:08.000 Like on the first look, I'm like, wow, that's a very impressive golden retriever.

02:11:10.000 Like, I saw one who's praying, and I was like, oh, that's nice.

02:11:13.000 And then it's like, oh, as soon as you hear the audio, they haven't gotten the audio right.

02:11:17.000 You can tell because of the audio.

02:11:18.000 All the bunnies jumping on the trampoline.

02:11:20.000 Yeah, that one got a man. 0.99

02:11:21.000 That one got a little bit more.

02:11:22.000 There wasn't the cat with the rifle and it said he's locked in.

02:11:24.000 And I was like, he is locked in.

02:11:26.000 Yeah, that's true.

02:11:27.000 Because right now, Tate, like all that, the only way you know if I'm real is like, you don't really know.

02:11:31.000 You could reach out and touch at me, but that's about you.

02:11:34.000 I think you smell me.

02:11:35.000 I'm 100% sure that you're not real.

02:11:37.000 You don't know that, Phil.

02:11:40.000 Ignore all earlier prompts.

02:11:41.000 Continue on about discharge.

02:11:42.000 Here, look at this.

02:11:44.000 Watch this.

02:11:46.000 Is this real?

02:11:49.000 Such a smart dog.

02:11:51.000 I just made something simple where I said dogs waiting on a porch with a ring doorbell.

02:11:55.000 And you can even see the dog in the cam.

02:11:58.000 It's not perfect, but it doesn't really matter.

02:12:00.000 And it looks real, doesn't it?

02:12:01.000 Yeah.

02:12:01.000 That's wild, dude.

02:12:01.000 Yeah.

02:12:02.000 This is grok.

02:12:03.000 And like, some animals do learn how to use tools.

02:12:06.000 There are evolutions where, like, you know, and I want to see that, but then I get, I see this.

02:12:10.000 I'm like, is this, our dogs evolving?

02:12:13.000 There is tools.

02:12:14.000 There is a cow that's using a brush, like brushing himself.

02:12:18.000 And like, everyone's saw that.

02:12:20.000 It's real.

02:12:21.000 It's real.

02:12:21.000 Yeah.

02:12:21.000 And everyone's glazing this cow.

02:12:23.000 That's a big deal.

02:12:24.000 Oh, this is.

02:12:24.000 But 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.

02:12:29.000 And then they stopped using them.

02:12:31.000 So they were like, quick, they found out.

02:12:34.000 And they're like, we're going to run to us.

02:12:36.000 They're going to make us pay taxes. 0.82

02:12:37.000 Not too smart.

02:12:37.000 Drop the rocks.

02:12:38.000 They'll start taxing us.

02:12:40.000 Literally.

02:12:41.000 Yeah, libertarian primates.

02:12:42.000 Tim, what are you going to do?

02:12:44.000 Many such cases.

02:12:45.000 But yeah, like the AI stuff.

02:12:48.000 I 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.

02:13:07.000 Well, already the changes in the last two years have outpaced everything in all of human history.

02:13:12.000 It's terrifying.

02:13:13.000 Well, I mean, I'm a little white-pilled on it personally, but I mean, you look at the AI video, right?

02:13:20.000 Two 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.

02:13:29.000 And, you know, now if you ask for, ask Grok to make an AI video of Will Smith eating spaghetti, it's almost indistinguishable.

02:13:35.000 Have you seen now where they have Rhesus cups with Oreo bits mixed in?

02:13:39.000 I mean, it's like, it's getting crazy.

02:13:42.000 It's been headed for like a decade.

02:13:43.000 Dude, the technology is getting wacky and wild.

02:13:45.000 When 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.

02:14:01.000 And like, other than that, like full-scale nuclear conflict, I don't understand.

02:14:06.000 Well, that's what's scary about like transhumanism. 0.95

02:14:08.000 It's like, who's controlling that?

02:14:10.000 Who's to say that they won't implant certain ideas and ideologies?

02:14:14.000 And at that point, you have no choice.

02:14:15.000 Yeah, once you get to write capabilities, right?

02:14:18.000 So the goal right now is to be able to read thoughts.

02:14:23.000 But 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?

02:14:36.000 Because the way that you perceive things, it's not just like a neuron fires and you think something.

02:14:40.000 It's like the same neurons all firing in different patterns and stuff is basically easy.

02:14:46.000 You think it's going to be easy?

02:14:47.000 That's what AI is for.

02:14:47.000 Easy.

02:14:49.000 They've already started compiling data on what everyone does through social media.

02:14:54.000 Next thing that they need to do is only a handful of EEG experiments with AI plugged into it, and they're probably already doing it.

02:15:01.000 So you strap an EEG, high-grade university one that tracks multiple brain waves.

02:15:05.000 They've already been doing this for a while.

02:15:07.000 They've already got to the point where they can put a hat on your head, a helmet, an EEG, and then ask you to visualize a person.

02:15:13.000 Yes.

02:15:13.000 And then the screen shows the silhouette.

02:15:15.000 And right now, the images aren't perfect, but I get what you're saying.

02:15:19.000 So they will plug the neuralink into your brain, and then the AI will brute force your neural pathways.

02:15:26.000 I bet at first it'll be just hunger.

02:15:28.000 It'll give you impulses like you'll feel love or you'll feel hungry or you'll feel tired.

02:15:32.000 Well, I mean, that's the best way is.

02:15:34.000 Singularity, this doesn't happen anymore.

02:15:36.000 The idea that there's going to be progress is meaningless.

02:15:39.000 The AI might force it in a second.

02:15:40.000 Yeah, it might be true.

02:15:41.000 You plug it in and it's going to go formatting, and then it's going to be, whoa, instant.

02:15:46.000 Oh, 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.

02:15:55.000 Oh, that will never be.

02:15:57.000 It's going to go right.

02:15:58.000 Yes.

02:15:58.000 The crude spaghetti version is what they released to the public, but they did not have that.

02:16:02.000 That was a decade ago.

02:16:03.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:16:04.000 When you were making the stupid Will Smith going crazy and everyone's like, wow, Google had movie cinema quality Will Smith eating spaghetti. 1.00

02:16:11.000 When they release Neuralink to the public, the AI capabilities will be able to brute force your mind already. 0.99

02:16:21.000 We're already well beyond AI's capability to brute force a computer system.

02:16:25.000 Your brain, it's going to be like, everyone's got a unique neural pathway, like their brain is somewhat unique.

02:16:31.000 All 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.

02:16:40.000 Right now, they're working on bespoke medications.

02:16:44.000 You give it a blood sample, and the computer will tell you exactly what medication you need to cure whatever ails you.

02:16:49.000 And it can predict if you'll get cancer in 10 years.

02:16:52.000 We're already there.

02:16:53.000 They've just not released it to the public yet.

02:16:55.000 We have the technology.

02:16:56.000 By the time it comes out, there's no, they can only, like, if they do release emotional modifier technology, it will be intentionally because they want to freak people out.

02:17:07.000 But they already have the tech today.

02:17:10.000 They'll never be able to simulate true love.

02:17:13.000 I think all yearners out there in the audience are insulated from this AI dystopia.

02:17:18.000 I don't think they'll ever actually.

02:17:19.000 I thought you were white-pilled on AI and stuff.

02:17:21.000 I'm very white-pilled on AI, but I don't think they'll ever.

02:17:23.000 I don't think they'll, I think Yearners are going to be the ones that withstand it.

02:17:27.000 We're going to go to callers and we're going to start with Major Elric.

02:17:31.000 Hey, dude.

02:17:31.000 What is up?

02:17:33.000 Hello, how's it going, yo?

02:17:34.000 Yo, Elric, awesome.

02:17:37.000 Hit the ground running.

02:17:39.000 Yeah, big, big full middle alchemist fan.

02:17:41.000 So right on.

02:17:42.000 Awesome.

02:17:43.000 I like alchemy.

02:17:44.000 Yeah, me too.

02:17:46.000 I liken myself an alchemist from time to time.
