Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - LA Wildfires WIPE OUT Entire Towns, Trump WARNED Us On Rogan MONTHS AGO w-Nick Shirley | Timcast IRL

00:00:22.000 The wildfires in Los Angeles are getting worse.

00:00:24.000 There's a photo that's going viral that just shows the Pacific Palisades are gone.

00:00:30.000 If you don't know, this is a neighborhood in the Los Angeles area, and it's just been completely wiped out.

00:00:35.000 This is a really sad video of James Woods breaking down in tears because of the elderly neighbors that he has, the rest of their lives, and just everyone's lives being destroyed.

00:00:46.000 Man, it's getting brutal out there.

00:00:48.000 I hope everybody gets out.

00:00:49.000 The death toll is now up to five, but people expect it, officials expect it to get worse.

00:00:54.000 There's actually several fires in the area right now, and the political angle here, the story, is that, let's just not mince words, several months ago, Donald Trump appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast and warned they don't have water in Southern California because of this environmental animal policy on the Delta smelt.

00:01:13.000 A lot of people have been talking about it, and not to mention the issue of homeless individuals setting fires.

00:01:18.000 So this has been epic mismanagement from day one.

00:01:22.000 And I think it's important to point out this viral clip from Trump where he says exactly this.

00:01:27.000 They're not getting the water down.

00:01:28.000 And now fire hydrants are empty.

00:01:31.000 Firefighters are overwhelmed.

00:01:32.000 They don't have the resources to fight this fire.

00:01:34.000 And I don't know what the current percentage is at, but not even that long ago.

00:01:37.000 The fires in California were at 0% contained, burning for over 24 hours, spreading rapidly.

00:01:44.000 It's horrifying stuff, man.

00:01:45.000 We're going to break down a bunch of these stories because it's a massive, you know, you have the individual story of the fires, but then each smaller story within it, such as there's a video of power lines sparking and shooting, just bursting next to trees.

00:01:59.000 Nobody doing anything about it.

00:02:01.000 You've got the story of, as I mentioned, the homeless people, the failures of water, all of these things lining up.

00:02:06.000 And then it gets weird.

00:02:07.000 Insurance companies dropped tons of these homes, specifically covering fire insurance, between a few months and a few weeks ago.

00:02:15.000 The insurance companies knew.

00:02:17.000 And if they knew, the government knew.

00:02:19.000 And so here we are, dealing with the failures of policy, and we'll get into all that.

00:02:24.000 Before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com and pick up some Cast Brew coffee.

00:02:27.000 Although it is no longer Christmas, two weeks till Christmas is still available.

00:02:31.000 Though it's two weeks from Christmas, you can still get a bag of gingerbread coffee with a picture of Phil Labonte dressed like Santa Claus.

00:02:37.000 That's right.

00:02:37.000 There you go.

00:02:38.000 And then, of course, we've got Ian's Graphene Dream back in stock.

00:02:42.000 Ian's Graphene Dream has already sold 200 bags this week.

00:02:46.000 Dude, I don't know what Ian figured out with this low-acidity coffee, but he sold 5,350 bags of this stuff in like one month.

00:02:54.000 And we do small batches, meaning like we only do like 300 at a time.

00:02:58.000 So the stock you see is actually the print, not the coffee itself.

00:03:02.000 So we print these bags to take like a month to six weeks.

00:03:05.000 That's why it took so long to restock.

00:03:06.000 We didn't expect Ian to sell out so much.

00:03:09.000 People really love that graphene dream.

00:03:11.000 They want to experience those dreams, Ian.

00:03:13.000 They will.

00:03:13.000 You are right now.

00:03:14.000 I don't know if people want to go into that whatever world you're in.

00:03:17.000 Also, don't forget to head over to boonieshq.com and pick up the latest 28th Amendment skateboard.

00:03:22.000 This one's for all the chicken people out there.

00:03:24.000 And if you are not one of those chicken people, then, oh boy, you're missing out.

00:03:28.000 The 20th Amendment, chickens being necessary to the security of a free state.

00:03:32.000 The right of the people to keep, bear, and breed chickens shall not be infringed.

00:03:35.000 And you can pick up that skateboard over at boonieshq.com.

00:03:38.000 But I gotta tell you, everybody's trying to buy the right-to-arm bears.

00:03:41.000 This one surprised us.

00:03:43.000 It's a grizzly bear wearing a flannel, a straw hat, and brandishing a shotgun.

00:03:47.000 And we've sold like 160 of these boards in the past month.

00:03:50.000 People love this one.

00:04:30.000 Thank you for having me on.

00:04:31.000 I'm excited.

00:04:31.000 Who are you?

00:04:32.000 What do you do?

00:04:32.000 I'm an independent YouTube journalist.

00:04:34.000 Go all across the world, whether it be...

00:04:36.000 The jails in El Salvador or the streets of New York City talking to migrant gangs. 0.60

00:04:40.000 Wow.

00:04:41.000 Talking to everybody.

00:04:41.000 I've seen some of your clips where you're like asking people, and it's like a very dry, like, hey, what do you think about this?

00:04:45.000 And then you see people sometimes freak out.

00:04:48.000 Yeah, I just ask people stuff and let them explain.

00:04:50.000 They either make themselves look really good or make themselves look really bad.

00:04:53.000 Isn't it crazy that you can just do journalism?

00:04:55.000 You can just show up and ask people the questions.

00:04:57.000 Yeah.

00:04:57.000 I mean, there's an art to it.

00:04:59.000 There's some ways you've got to do it, but yeah, it's pretty amazing.

00:05:02.000 I love just going to talk with people.

00:05:04.000 Right on, man.

00:05:04.000 It's going to be fun.

00:05:05.000 Thanks for joining us.

00:05:06.000 We've got Ian hanging out.

00:05:07.000 Yeah, it's good to be back, man.

00:05:08.000 Thanks for having me, everybody.

00:05:09.000 And also, shout out to everybody that picked up a bag of Graphene Dream.

00:05:12.000 That's super cool.

00:05:13.000 Keep it up.

00:05:14.000 That low-acidity coffee is another beast.

00:05:17.000 Once you have it, you realize, ooh, I can handle another cup of that.

00:05:19.000 A lot easier.

00:05:20.000 And also, I want to thank Michaela Peterson.

00:05:22.000 She sent us, with her company, FullerHealth.co, this product called After Party.

00:05:29.000 What is it?

00:05:29.000 It's dihydromyricetin.

00:05:32.000 It's a chemical derived from Japanese raisins and that they've used for years, centuries, millennia, as an herbal supplement for a hangover cure.

00:05:42.000 I think a lot of people use it for that.

00:05:44.000 I have a hangover cure.

00:05:46.000 Tell me more.

00:05:47.000 Not drinking.

00:05:47.000 Not drinking at all is the best cure.

00:05:49.000 There you go.

00:05:49.000 Don't mess up.

00:05:50.000 It's the best solution.

00:05:51.000 Drinking is a young man's game. 1.00

00:05:52.000 I'm almost 40. I'm not going anywhere near at all.

00:05:54.000 Yeah, I don't really drink either.

00:05:55.000 But regardless, Michaela, thank you so much for sending this to us.

00:05:58.000 Michaela Peterson, it's fullerhealth.co.

00:06:01.000 That's F-U-L-L-E-R health.co.

00:06:03.000 Look at that.

00:06:04.000 Thanks again.

00:06:05.000 They should pay you for that.

00:06:06.000 You will.

00:06:07.000 Head forward.

00:06:09.000 What's up, everybody?

00:06:10.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:06:11.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal and all that remains.

00:06:13.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:06:15.000 Tim, let's go.

00:06:16.000 Here we go.

00:06:16.000 First, we'll start with some updates here.

00:06:18.000 We have this from Forbes.

00:06:19.000 California wildfire live updates.

00:06:20.000 Officials say five dead as fires expand.

00:06:23.000 We have this map here from fire.airnow.gov.

00:06:27.000 Take a look at these fires that we have in the L.A. area.

00:06:29.000 So you've got, this is the Hearst Fire up north.

00:06:31.000 It looks small relative to the others, but it is still very massive.

00:06:35.000 And you can see it is dipping down into residential areas.

00:06:38.000 So hopefully...

00:06:38.000 People are taking that seriously.

00:06:40.000 Over here, you have the Eaton Fire.

00:06:41.000 There's actually now, I think, maybe even seven different fires in the area, although these are the major ones.

00:06:47.000 You can see this.

00:06:48.000 This is the Eaton Fire, and it is spreading crazy.

00:06:51.000 Altadena, look at this.

00:06:53.000 All of this residential area stuff just being wiped out.

00:06:56.000 This is crazy, man.

00:06:57.000 And then, of course, we have Pasadena, which is the bulk of this.

00:07:01.000 This is the Pacific Coast Highway.

00:07:04.000 Absolutely not.

00:07:04.000 Stretching into Malibu.

00:07:06.000 This is crazy.

00:07:08.000 I mean, let me see.

00:07:10.000 I got this photo here.

00:07:11.000 Take a look at this.

00:07:12.000 People are just saying, the Palisades are gone.

00:07:15.000 The houses are just gone.

00:07:17.000 This is absolutely insane.

00:07:18.000 And the worst thing about it, it is, and it was, preventable.

00:07:23.000 Now we're hearing that they've been evacuating more of Santa Monica, and you've got people down in Marina del Rey, which is just south of Santa Monica, getting very worried because with 90 mile an hour winds blowing in, This fire may be unstoppable until it just burns itself out, whatever that means.

00:07:40.000 If this goes to Santa Monica...

00:07:42.000 It's in Santa Monica.

00:07:43.000 It is already in Santa Monica.

00:07:45.000 That's like the economic...

00:07:46.000 It's not the epicenter, but it's like part two in Los Angeles.

00:07:49.000 Like, Santa Monica is like the entertainment number two capital in the world next to Hollywood.

00:07:54.000 So that is like...

00:07:55.000 I mean, and you could say the Valley, but the Valley's huge.

00:07:57.000 Santa Monica's a tiny little focused area of auditions and studios.

00:08:01.000 You know the entertainment that comes out of the Valley, Ian. 1.00

00:08:03.000 Damn, dude. 1.00

00:08:04.000 A lot of... 0.99

00:08:05.000 But this is what people need to understand.

00:08:07.000 You know, I know a lot of people who live in L.A. You totally get this.

00:08:10.000 People have been there.

00:08:10.000 You get this.

00:08:11.000 Los Angeles is tiny.

00:08:12.000 But Los Angeles County is massive.

00:08:15.000 And so when people talk about going to Hollywood or L.A., a lot of these celebrities, they live in Santa Monica.

00:08:21.000 They live in the Palisades.

00:08:22.000 Some, of course, live in the Hollywood Hills, which is, you know, more up here or whatever.

00:08:25.000 You've got West Hollywood, Beverly Hills.

00:08:27.000 But the Palisades, this is why James Woods is living up there.

00:08:30.000 It is common for actors and celebrities in Hollywood to be living in the Palisades.

00:08:34.000 The fact that it's gone is just absolutely insane.

00:08:37.000 You ever drive that Pacific Coast Highway?

00:08:39.000 Of course, dude.

00:08:40.000 I used to go, like, every weekend we go to Malibu.

00:08:42.000 That drive through the Palisades up into Malibu is iconic.

00:08:46.000 And now, I mean, obviously, you can rebuild it, but all those houses on the left, because what happens is the road goes right up the beach.

00:08:53.000 It's like basically right up the ocean the entire way.

00:08:55.000 And then there's fires on the water.

00:08:57.000 If you're going west, to your left is all these houses.

00:09:01.000 They have beachfront property.

00:09:02.000 I bet they are.

00:09:03.000 Oh, yeah.

00:09:03.000 Look, you can see them right here.

00:09:04.000 All these houses.

00:09:05.000 They're beautiful architecture.

00:09:08.000 And they're on fire.

00:09:09.000 Some of them are on fire, according to the...

00:09:11.000 A lot of them are gone.

00:09:12.000 Right.

00:09:13.000 There's nothing left over there.

00:09:14.000 Well, this is PCH going into Malibu.

00:09:16.000 It's not the same as Palisades.

00:09:17.000 But a lot of them are burning.

00:09:19.000 And you can see this.

00:09:20.000 They haven't contained hardly any of it, either.

00:09:22.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:09:23.000 I saw...

00:09:23.000 Some statistics are saying.

00:09:26.000 Yeah, I think the last I saw on Fox News had 0% a couple hours ago.

00:09:30.000 That's insane.

00:09:31.000 Like, how?

00:09:32.000 Well, someone tweeted that the humidity was at 0.78.

00:09:36.000 Yeah.

00:09:37.000 That's crazy, dude!

00:09:39.000 I mean, it's super dry.

00:09:41.000 There's tons of fuel on the ground.

00:09:42.000 And there's the Santa Ana winds.

00:09:45.000 Like, I was talking to a firefighter friend of mine that used to do the...

00:09:48.000 He would jump out of planes into fires and stuff to fight fires.

00:09:53.000 And he's like, look, man, even God isn't going to put this fire out right now.

00:09:59.000 And that's if they had water and normal...

00:10:04.000 Things they have to fight fires, but because of mismanagement by the mayor, well, by the state, they don't even have water.

00:10:12.000 This has been going on for a long time, man.

00:10:14.000 Because I was down in California 10 years ago, 10 years ago, when they were dealing with the drought, and the only thing I heard was mismanagement.

00:10:23.000 California's a desert.

00:10:25.000 These kind of things are going to happen, and they have to plan for it, and they don't.

00:10:28.000 And this is what you end up with.

00:10:30.000 And now...

00:10:32.000 It's crazy, but I think that the truth here is these wildfires happen every year in California.

00:10:36.000 We see it's wildfire season.

00:10:38.000 They've mismanaged the forest floor once again.

00:10:40.000 The brush fires, they've mismanaged it once again.

00:10:43.000 The only issue now is that it's in a major urban center with tons of people who live there and these videos of people being trapped in their homes.

00:10:50.000 You know, someone asked me, like, how do you get trapped in a fire?

00:10:53.000 And I'm like, dude, the fire is traveling 90 miles an hour.

00:10:57.000 You need to understand, with the winds blowing at that speed, you're sitting in your home, Everything looks normal.

00:11:03.000 Then all of a sudden you look outside and you see fire sweeping across the trees.

00:11:06.000 And then you go, whoa, I don't know what I'm supposed to do right now.

00:11:09.000 And so maybe you call 911 and say, hey, we're seeing fire sweep across it.

00:11:12.000 Get out now.

00:11:13.000 You open your door and there's an inferno in every direction.

00:11:16.000 Some people end up getting trapped because of this.

00:11:18.000 So quiet.

00:11:19.000 Yeah.

00:11:20.000 Yeah.

00:11:20.000 Dude, there's a video of these guys running out their front door.

00:11:23.000 And the trees, the regular trees, are burning embers.

00:11:27.000 Just like...

00:11:28.000 This tree was alive, and now it's so hot and the fire is so intense, the tree in front of your house is just literally a glowing ember.

00:11:36.000 You said that it was preventable.

00:11:38.000 So what I've heard is that PG&E, which is I think Pacific Gas and Electric, I don't know what the P stands for, gas and electric probably.

00:11:45.000 They are in charge of running the power lines, and they tend to run them through highly wooded areas and don't clear out the brush.

00:11:52.000 And because of that, the brush then can catch fire if a power line goes down, or if there's a spark.

00:11:57.000 And that is reliant on, I don't know if PG&E is a government company, but it's supposed to be PG&E's responsibility, or the government is just allowed, because it's like, hey, we need power.

00:12:06.000 We're not going to make you run a line all the way around the park, so yeah, you can run it through the trees.

00:12:11.000 At what risk?

00:12:12.000 And then now you're saying that also the diversion of the water, which has been going on since at least the early 1900s.

00:12:18.000 That's why they can't fight it.

00:12:19.000 The diversion of the water doesn't really have a lot to do with why it may have started, whether it be a PG&E line that broke.

00:12:27.000 Is that what they think caused it?

00:12:28.000 I don't know.

00:12:29.000 I'm only addressing what he had mentioned, which it's possible, completely and totally possible.

00:12:35.000 I've heard stories that PG&E decided...

00:12:39.000 To not clean out the areas beneath the wires because it was not cost-effective or whatever, that it would be less to, I don't know if they were talking about pay lawsuits or whatever, but I've heard that it was PG&E's fault.

00:12:54.000 But at the end of the day, the state doesn't allow people to clean up or doesn't do anything to clean up the downfall and branches and brush.

00:13:03.000 So at the end of the day, it does boil down to it's the state's fault because they're the ones that are supposed to be able to prevent this stuff.

00:13:10.000 California is an example of extraction.

00:13:13.000 This is what happens when a beautiful state with some of the best weather, and it's massive.

00:13:18.000 You go up north, you've got mountains, you've got skiing and snowboarding.

00:13:21.000 You go south, you've got beaches.

00:13:24.000 This is what happens when, over a long enough period of time, good men do nothing.

00:13:28.000 The government eventually gets taken over by people whose only intention is short-term extraction. 0.97

00:13:33.000 When I was living in Los Angeles, everybody said NIMBY, not in my backyard.

00:13:37.000 So they have what is described as the worst homeless crisis for the developed world in Los Angeles.

00:13:44.000 And you'd ask everybody, why can't one of the wealthiest cities, counties in the country, do anything about it?

00:13:52.000 Even though they spend a billion dollars every year, and it's because the billion dollars goes to what they call the homeless industrial complex, where companies, nonprofits, and manufacturers take the money for themselves, don't solve the problem, and then when it comes to actual either institutionalization or affordable housing, every single well-to-do liberal type in LA goes, not in my backyard.

00:14:13.000 So it never ends up getting done.

00:14:15.000 Over a long enough period of time...

00:14:17.000 As politicians simply extract, they tell you what you want to hear, they pass policies that increase their personal benefit, you get this.

00:14:26.000 It is horrifying mismanagement.

00:14:28.000 And you know the funny thing is, when you zoom out to the macro and you look at red states and red cities, you don't see it.

00:14:34.000 We covered this a few years ago.

00:14:36.000 You had per capita crime, all blue cities, and then when you, well, how come all of the highest crime cities are Democrat-run? 0.52

00:14:46.000 And they try and argue, well, it's because they're bigger.

00:14:48.000 And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:50.000 That doesn't mean anything.

00:14:51.000 The question is, why are bigger cities more likely to be Democrat?

00:14:54.000 And why are they full of crime?

00:14:56.000 And if you want to argue, because they're big, they're full of crime, we're talking per capita.

00:15:00.000 So you take a look at West Virginia.

00:15:02.000 Lower crime.

00:15:04.000 Dark, deep red.

00:15:06.000 Regular working class people.

00:15:08.000 Crime is low.

00:15:10.000 Lower on average.

00:15:11.000 So I got to tell you, what I see with the Democratic Party, not completely.

00:15:15.000 But leaning towards?

00:15:17.000 You look at the state of California, you don't need me to give you an example.

00:15:20.000 How is it possible that they don't manage their forest floors, that their fire hydrants ran out of water, the reservoirs weren't refilled, and the mayor is in Africa? 0.78

00:15:30.000 Yeah, that is crazy.

00:15:31.000 She's not even there when it's all going on.

00:15:33.000 I mean, I guess she's...

00:15:36.000 I guess she's flying back, so.

00:15:37.000 And aren't they understaffed on the firefighters as well?

00:15:41.000 Because they were too concerned about hiring too many white firefighters.

00:15:44.000 Two years ago, they reported there were too many white firefighters.

00:15:47.000 You saw that story?

00:15:48.000 I didn't realize.

00:15:48.000 No, I didn't see that.

00:15:49.000 I didn't realize that there was a DEI angle on it. 0.99

00:15:54.000 But God damn. 0.99

00:15:55.000 Now, a lot of people on the left, they're saying you can't blame the mayor for being in Africa. 0.99

00:15:59.000 No.

00:15:59.000 There was a warning that went out a week ago saying fires were likely.

00:16:04.000 And the mayor was like, I'm out.

00:16:06.000 So I gotta tell you guys, I don't think Republicans are perfect.

00:16:09.000 I'm not making a comment on the Republican Party as a whole. 0.98

00:16:12.000 There's a lot of neocon scumbags that don't care about you. 1.00

00:16:15.000 No one's gonna sit here and praise Lindsey Graham. 0.97

00:16:18.000 But the Democratic Party is largely a component of short-term gains, long-term losses.

00:16:22.000 We're looking at it right now.

00:16:23.000 And people are losing their homes, their lives.

00:16:25.000 And I can't believe this map, dude.

00:16:27.000 So there are people talking about the fact that there were a lot of people that didn't have insurance because, I guess, there's insurance companies.

00:16:36.000 They cut them all off.

00:16:38.000 And there are people that are making connections to the insurance.

00:16:45.000 CEO that was killed recently in New York.

00:16:47.000 Well, I want to jump to the environment thing too, but I'll just say this before we jump to the next story.

00:16:54.000 All of these liberals are saying, see, it's climate change that proves it.

00:16:58.000 And I'm like, dude, you've got a guy driving your bus and we're all sitting on it and he's gone off the edge of a cliff and he's just bouncing down the hill.

00:17:06.000 And you're like, bro, you drove us off the cliff and you've got to start veering to the left to try and get back on some kind of road?

00:17:12.000 And he goes, no.

00:17:13.000 The actual problem is that the environment is bad, so we're going to keep going the same direction.

00:17:19.000 They keep saying climate change is causing this as their policies literally make it impossible to stop.

00:17:25.000 They're the most pro-climate change people as well.

00:17:28.000 I know!

00:17:29.000 So when they say climate change is the problem, look at the fires.

00:17:32.000 I'm like, bro, it's California.

00:17:33.000 Where have they implemented climate change policies more than where you live?

00:17:37.000 And you are the cause of all of this.

00:17:41.000 And the thing about climate change or the climate change angle is even if...

00:17:45.000 Even if there were to be all the changes that people on the left want in the U.S., that doesn't change what China and India are going to do.

00:17:53.000 And those two countries both have 1.5 billion people.

00:17:56.000 So the argument that, oh, we need to do all these things here in the U.S., and we need to make all these changes to our infrastructure and stuff because we need to be able to fix climate change, it's not going to fix a thing.

00:18:07.000 Not one thing.

00:18:08.000 Let's jump to the story from the Daily Mail.

00:18:10.000 Trump blames Gavin Newscom.

00:18:12.000 For raging California wildfires, the ultimate price is being paid.

00:18:17.000 I mean, this is sad, man.

00:18:18.000 But it is true. 0.90

00:18:20.000 Newsom comes in for his photo op.

00:18:22.000 But here's the issue.

00:18:23.000 Gavin Newsom had an opportunity to address this year after year after year.

00:18:28.000 Warning after warning after warning.

00:18:30.000 And he didn't do it.

00:18:31.000 So check this out.

00:18:32.000 Quote, he wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt.

00:18:36.000 By giving it less water, it didn't work, but didn't care about the people of California.

00:18:40.000 Now the ultimate price is being paid.

00:18:42.000 I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to flow into California. 0.99

00:18:47.000 He has the blame for this.

00:18:49.000 On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes, a true disaster.

00:18:54.000 As of this moment, Gavin Newsom and his LA crew have contained exactly 0% of the fire.

00:18:59.000 It is burning at levels that even surpassed last night.

00:19:02.000 This is not government.

00:19:03.000 I can't wait until July 20th, Trump wrote.

00:19:06.000 No water in the fire hydrants.

00:19:08.000 No money in FEMA. This is what Joe Biden is leaving me.

00:19:11.000 Thanks, Joe.

00:19:12.000 Well, check this out.

00:19:13.000 Here's a clip from Colin Rugg.

00:19:15.000 He says Trump was mocked.

00:19:16.000 For sounding the alarm on the California water fire crisis during his interview on Joe Rogan, turns out he was right.

00:19:21.000 Trump spent nearly seven minutes ranting about the issue, blasting Newsom for doing nothing.

00:19:25.000 Take a look at this clip.

00:19:26.000 We'll just play a little bit of it.

00:19:28.000 Let me give you one that you may not know, which I think you know everything, actually, as a student of yours.

00:19:35.000 But water, you know, in Los Angeles, you can't get proper amounts of water.

00:19:43.000 Right.

00:19:43.000 And it's unbelievably expensive.

00:19:45.000 And you might have a house in Beverly Hills, and they're actually thinking about rationing water.

00:19:49.000 Can you believe it?

00:19:50.000 I can believe it.

00:19:51.000 I was in the farm court country with some of the congressmen who were driving up a highway.

00:19:56.000 And I say, how come all this land is so barren?

00:20:01.000 It's farmland, and it looked terrible.

00:20:04.000 just brown and bad.

00:20:06.000 I said, but there's always that little corner That's so green and beautiful.

00:20:12.000 They said, we have no water.

00:20:14.000 I said, do you have a drought?

00:20:15.000 No, we don't have a drought.

00:20:16.000 I said, why don't you have no water?

00:20:18.000 Because the water isn't allowed to flow down.

00:20:21.000 It's got a natural flow from Canada all the way up north of water.

00:20:24.000 More water than they could ever use.

00:20:26.000 And in order to protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean.

00:20:35.000 Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured.

00:20:38.000 You've got to see this.

00:20:39.000 We're driving up, and I had never seen it before.

00:20:42.000 It's like Iowa.

00:20:44.000 It's the most fertile land.

00:20:45.000 Iowa's blessed with great land.

00:20:47.000 Idaho for a potato, right?

00:20:49.000 By the way, some land is good for a potato, some land is good for corn.

00:20:54.000 It's the craziest thing.

00:20:55.000 I love the farmers.

00:20:56.000 They're great.

00:20:57.000 They're the greatest. 0.75

00:20:57.000 And by the way, they're getting killed right now. 0.75

00:20:59.000 They are. 1.00

00:20:59.000 They're getting killed because of this stupid administration. 1.00

00:21:02.000 So I see this, and I said, you've got to be kidding. 1.00

00:21:06.000 I said...

00:21:07.000 You mean you have water?

00:21:08.000 And I looked at it.

00:21:09.000 It's like a valve in your sink, except it's massive.

00:21:12.000 The thing's five times taller than your ceiling.

00:21:14.000 Did you know the center of California was a giant lake?

00:21:18.000 That's true, too.

00:21:19.000 But instead of going off on that tangent, let me show you this.

00:21:21.000 When we zoom out, he's talking about the Delta area.

00:21:25.000 It's in the bay.

00:21:26.000 And so you come up here, and the issue is basically this.

00:21:31.000 All of this water right here.

00:21:33.000 Is pushing into the Pacific.

00:21:35.000 So you can see fresh water up here, and you've got brackish water here in the bay, and then you've got ocean water.

00:21:41.000 So for those that aren't familiar, I assume most of you are, but brackish is kind of the mix between fresh and salt water.

00:21:45.000 So what ends up happening is they can have all of this beautiful, beautiful water that flows from up north.

00:21:52.000 Come down south and alleviate a lot of these problems, which can be used for firefighting, but you don't really need to rely on fresh water for firefighting, but would give you large reservoirs, which can be used, of course, and it would make sure it would deal with the poor communities in the east if they could get this water down here.

00:22:08.000 The issue is that if they stop the flow of water into the delta...

00:22:13.000 Then the pressure stops and ocean water pushes in, turning the Delta brackish and killing off all the farms.

00:22:19.000 It's not just about the fish.

00:22:21.000 The excuse used, of course, is that it would kill off all the Delta smelt.

00:22:25.000 That is largely the reason.

00:22:26.000 Because they could still create a dam or some kind of system that would prevent the ocean water from coming in and wiping out the Delta.

00:22:34.000 They don't do it.

00:22:35.000 And I think it's not just the fish.

00:22:36.000 That's the point I'm trying to make.

00:22:37.000 The state doesn't have willpower.

00:22:40.000 Long-term investment is not within the minds of your average Democrat, governor, or state.

00:22:46.000 Yeah, I wasn't aware of the fact that without the flow from outside that the brackish water would move further inland.

00:22:57.000 But still, I mean, if they're siphoning the water off so that way it helps farmers, that's...

00:23:06.000 That, to me, seems like it would probably be some kind of lobbying issue.

00:23:11.000 Oh yeah, it is.

00:23:12.000 The lobbyists are doing it.

00:23:13.000 And that means that the people that have lost their homes, those people are wealthy people and they have means and it should inspire them.

00:23:25.000 To tell the politicians, look, I'm not donating to your candidate to your campaign now because you allowed my house to be burned down.

00:23:34.000 It's going to be very interesting to see how the people in these areas react because when we had the hurricane in North Carolina, the communities all rallied together.

00:23:42.000 But in California...

00:23:43.000 I lived there once and it felt like everybody's you versus me.

00:23:46.000 And you didn't even know who was living next to you.

00:23:48.000 Nobody's from California.

00:23:50.000 And so it's going to be interesting to see these people hurry and get together and they do whatever they can and get these donations running or whatnot.

00:23:57.000 Or is it going to be every person for themselves?

00:23:59.000 I think it's not...

00:24:01.000 I don't want to be so callous because...

00:24:03.000 Or are they just going to move out and just abandon whatever they had left?

00:24:05.000 Or are they just going to move out?

00:24:06.000 Like Maui.

00:24:07.000 What do we see?

00:24:08.000 These big celebrities who had land there were just like, I'm out.

00:24:10.000 Because they're rich, right?

00:24:11.000 When you look to the areas that are being affected in L.A. where there's poorer people, because PellHead is not all rich people, of course.

00:24:18.000 There's some, you know, it's expensive.

00:24:20.000 These people can't do anything.

00:24:22.000 The rich people are going to be, you know, I look at them and I feel for them, because your home is your home.

00:24:26.000 It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor.

00:24:27.000 Your home is your home.

00:24:28.000 Losing your home is devastating.

00:24:29.000 But they are still going to survive this.

00:24:32.000 And so I don't want to be so callous because James was saying that, you know, it really warmed his heart to see that it wasn't political, that it's Democrat, Republican, none of it mattered.

00:24:39.000 They were neighbors helping each other survive this disaster.

00:24:41.000 And that's what I'm hoping we get out of it.

00:24:44.000 However, as to what Phil was saying with, like, donations, these people, I don't see them, like Mark Hamill, for instance.

00:24:51.000 I think his home may have been affected by this.

00:24:53.000 But these are the kind of people that don't read into it, right?

00:24:56.000 This is what Jimmy Dore made a really great point on.

00:25:00.000 You know, trusting your doctor.

00:25:01.000 He has that bit.

00:25:02.000 It's epic.

00:25:02.000 And you should hear it where he's like, you know, they kept saying during COVID, don't look into it.

00:25:06.000 And he's like, that's insane.

00:25:07.000 Imagine doing that with literally anything else.

00:25:10.000 Like, I'm going to go buy a car.

00:25:11.000 Don't look into it.

00:25:13.000 How am I supposed to know which car is the right one?

00:25:15.000 Trust the salesman.

00:25:16.000 He's the expert.

00:25:18.000 It's brilliant.

00:25:19.000 But this is how Democrats largely operate.

00:25:21.000 And again, I'm not trying to roast literally every single Democrat, but this is what's going to happen.

00:25:24.000 They're going to come out and they're going to say, this is climate change's fault and Trump wants to drill for oil and it's going to make this worse.

00:25:29.000 And you're like, my dude, you had no water and you didn't manage the floor of the ground in the hills.

00:25:36.000 You didn't do floor management for the wildlands.

00:25:38.000 And they're going to go, climate change.

00:25:41.000 You're going to say, PG&E has power cables running through areas with high risks of fire, and they're going to go, climate change.

00:25:48.000 And we're going to, okay, California, do your thing, I guess.

00:25:51.000 But they're going to blame Trump for it.

00:25:52.000 They're going to keep pushing nonsense ideas.

00:25:54.000 And like I was saying, you were saying, Phil, about donations, they're still going to donate.

00:26:01.000 There's two ways I see this.

00:26:03.000 Them saying, don't know, don't care.

00:26:05.000 I got hurt and it's your fault.

00:26:07.000 Or they're going to say, this proves it.

00:26:09.000 Climate change is the problem.

00:26:10.000 Please stop Donald Trump.

00:26:12.000 The man who warned us about our lack of water in this area three months ago.

00:26:17.000 Insanity.

00:26:17.000 They'll twist it and make somehow it be Trump's problem and whatnot.

00:26:20.000 But Gavin Newsom has literally been in there for the past few years.

00:26:22.000 And every single time he has the opportunity to help out the people, whether it be the fentanyl crisis, to stop giving the people needles and stop giving them...

00:26:30.000 $600 a month to be able to keep buying drugs while they live on the street or the migrants coming through the border. 0.98

00:26:36.000 Every single time he's had a chance to do something, he has gone against the majority of the people that would benefit.

00:26:42.000 So is it so hard to believe that these Democrats are intentionally trying to destroy the country?

00:26:47.000 I mean, that even defies short-term gain.

00:26:50.000 You can make the argument that he's like, we're going to give needles, and what do they have, those glass pipe kits they give out to homeless people to do crack?

00:26:57.000 He's like, we're going to do that because it's politically expedient.

00:27:00.000 I get through it, I say, we solved the problem, thank you and have a nice day, not going to think about it.

00:27:04.000 But I'm kind of like, I don't know, man, that's not a short-term gain.

00:27:07.000 You're literally setting a political fire.

00:27:09.000 The politics of nice have been a massive problem for the United States.

00:27:15.000 That's why Donald Trump, I think, was successful in his first term, was as successful as he Whatever amount of success you believe he had, which generally around this table we have a fairly positive view of what he did.

00:27:28.000 And that's because he didn't ascribe to the politics of nice.

00:27:32.000 He wasn't worried about if it sounded nice.

00:27:35.000 And there are so many people, particularly in California, that all of their politics is, I just want to be nice.

00:27:42.000 And I want to do the nice thing.

00:27:44.000 I want to be the good person.

00:27:45.000 So we should give that...

00:27:48.000 Drug addict, the drugs that he needs to prevent withdrawal.

00:27:51.000 And we should allow those homeless people to stay homeless and shoot up drugs.

00:27:56.000 And we should let people that are repeat offenders out of jail because there might have been some kind of problem.

00:28:04.000 That was business as usual in California for ages and ages.

00:28:09.000 And there are real-world, tangible consequences to the politics of NICE. And now, thankfully, for California, there are people that have voted significantly against the politics of NICE. Remember when we were this close to getting Governor Larry Elder?

00:28:25.000 Yeah!

00:28:26.000 This wouldn't have happened.

00:28:27.000 No.

00:28:28.000 Would not have happened.

00:28:29.000 And they teamed up to shut him down.

00:28:32.000 Larry Elder.

00:28:33.000 I don't know how they're going to solve for this, this wildfire thing.

00:28:37.000 Because if, I mean, maybe you could use ocean water and drones.

00:28:39.000 We talked about that before the show.

00:28:40.000 I think it was before the show.

00:28:40.000 Well, not drones.

00:28:41.000 You could use...

00:28:42.000 Plane.

00:28:42.000 Gigantic.

00:28:43.000 You can just constantly scoop and dump.

00:28:45.000 Yes, here's the issue.

00:28:46.000 The winds are at 100 miles an hour.

00:28:48.000 So getting any flight is like a challenge.

00:28:50.000 It's extreme challenge.

00:28:51.000 It's very difficult for the smaller aircraft to fly here.

00:28:54.000 So they were reporting.

00:28:56.000 They had a first responder on Fox News in the morning saying helicopters can't fly, not in these winds, and fixed-wing aircraft have a higher threshold, but it's still too intense.

00:29:04.000 They have been.

00:29:06.000 Sending in flights now, and there's some really great videos of them just dumping water on the fire.

00:29:10.000 I'm glad to see it.

00:29:11.000 Other solutions could be like putting the power lines underground.

00:29:14.000 Because I always look at these power lines thinking of those massive vulnerabilities.

00:29:17.000 Anybody can blow them up, anybody can knock them down, they can catch fire.

00:29:20.000 Adam Carolla was saying that!

00:29:22.000 He said he was talking about it on his show, and the next thing he knows, he looks outside, or he sees this photo of a power line being knocked over.

00:29:27.000 I was living in Venice, and it would just buzz outside my window.

00:29:30.000 The salt water just causing...

00:29:32.000 Well, there's no underground with Venice.

00:29:34.000 Oh, you mean Venice, California?

00:29:35.000 I was just watching a documentary on Venice, Italy today.

00:29:37.000 It's fascinating how they built that city.

00:29:40.000 On big wooden plates.

00:29:41.000 Sometimes you walk the streets of LA and you wonder if you're in South America or if you're in America.

00:29:46.000 You are correct.

00:29:46.000 Because just the power lines, you don't see that everywhere.

00:29:49.000 Bro, when I was in Brazil in the favelas, the power lines are really scary.

00:29:54.000 It's a black cluster of tangled things hanging from a post.

00:29:58.000 And you're like, how does anyone connect anything to that thing?

00:30:01.000 And if it fell down, ain't nobody gonna figure out how to fix it.

00:30:04.000 So you got the power lines, obviously, which is probably the biggest culprit of setting the fires, maybe.

00:30:09.000 But then the water.

00:30:11.000 You gotta get water.

00:30:12.000 They built the city in the desert because it was a nice environment.

00:30:15.000 But now you got a city in the desert that relies on imports.

00:30:17.000 Well, they had river water coming in.

00:30:19.000 And the city is just growing beyond its capabilities.

00:30:22.000 The LA River.

00:30:24.000 Yeah, it's like some years there's no water.

00:30:26.000 Wildfires happen.

00:30:27.000 Wildfires happen.

00:30:28.000 If you want to have a population of 13 million people spread out across an area that has high potential for wildfires, you have to have forest floor management.

00:30:36.000 I guess it's not a forest, it's brush floor or whatever.

00:30:39.000 But let me pull up this video right here.

00:30:40.000 We got this tweet from Kyle Zink.

00:30:43.000 He says, this is our neighbor's backyard in LA right now.

00:30:45.000 Power line sparking against trees.

00:30:48.000 Neighbor and I have been trying to call 911 and fire department for 45 minutes with no answer, as instructed by power company.

00:30:53.000 Yes, a lot is going on, but the city is failing us.

00:30:56.000 Check this video out.

00:31:00.000 I mean...

00:31:01.000 For those who are just listening, it's a fireworks show.

00:31:03.000 What is causing that?

00:31:04.000 The power lines are just sparking like crazy on a tree.

00:31:08.000 So you think a base station blew up and now all these power lines are just discharging?

00:31:12.000 I have no idea.

00:31:14.000 That's what Serge is saying.

00:31:14.000 There was a lot of...

00:31:16.000 There was a story like this several years ago, like 10 years ago maybe, where there was a fire and it was something like a power line sparked and it landed on the ground.

00:31:24.000 Another problem with people being on a grid, man, an electric grid, relying on a central battery that can explode and then discharge across all your lines and set fires and sparks.

00:31:34.000 Well, what do you do?

00:31:35.000 I mean, I do think we need to—I read this really funny op-ed a while ago about how the oldest functioning infrastructure machine in the United States is the power grid.

00:31:45.000 It was a machine that was built in, like, the early 1800s, early 1900s, and we've never replaced it.

00:31:51.000 Yep.

00:31:52.000 It's just one big, massive machine where there's several areas of weak parts.

00:31:58.000 Obviously, when we build new stuff, it's up to code, but it's all connected to this very old system.

00:32:04.000 Okay, we'll use Elon's Boring Company to drill holes to pass graphene wiring underground.

00:32:10.000 We got it.

00:32:11.000 Now we need to just weather the storm and get there.

00:32:14.000 Tesla's wireless energy transmission.

00:32:16.000 Ooh.

00:32:17.000 Which I don't know if it's actually real.

00:32:18.000 He would send it through the ground and cause an earthquake.

00:32:21.000 I don't know if there's a same tech.

00:32:22.000 He caused an earthquake in lower New York, in lower Manhattan.

00:32:25.000 The cops came and checked it out.

00:32:28.000 It's a great story.

00:32:30.000 Yeah, his earthquake machine that he was building.

00:32:31.000 He was all about sending electricity through the ground because the air, there wasn't enough contact.

00:32:37.000 I think what we're seeing with this stuff, with the power lines with California, is sooner or later it was going to happen.

00:32:45.000 You've got way too many people in an area where no one takes responsibility.

00:32:48.000 So short-term gain, short-term loss.

00:32:51.000 So you think the Newsom, the politicians are thinking, like, if we did hire people to clear out the brush, it's going to cost us 30% GDP, whatever the hell.

00:33:01.000 What happens is Newsom says...

00:33:03.000 Guys, we got a problem with this brush floor that Tinder is building up.

00:33:07.000 Can we clear it out?

00:33:08.000 And they go, we could.

00:33:10.000 It'll cost $30 million.

00:33:11.000 And he goes, fine.

00:33:13.000 It's better than a billion dollars in damage.

00:33:14.000 And then someone's at the door.

00:33:17.000 Open it up.

00:33:18.000 There it is.

00:33:18.000 Greenpeace, Sierra Club, Environment America.

00:33:20.000 And they're like, you ain't touching nothing.

00:33:22.000 Because no matter what you do, we're going to lobby against you.

00:33:24.000 And so the arguments that I've heard is that environmental organizations put pressure on the government to oppose the actions they want to take for whatever reason, just like the Delta smelt.

00:33:32.000 They say, there's a fish that lives here, and you cannot take its water away.

00:33:37.000 When it comes to the smelt, this is a little, I wouldn't have said this 20 years ago, but like, sometimes you gotta let animals, some animals go extinct to preserve the human species.

00:33:46.000 It's a sad utilitarian.

00:33:48.000 Is the smelt gonna go extinct, though?

00:33:49.000 I mean, it might kill the specific delta smelt.

00:33:52.000 No, because they can create sanctuaries before they switch the flow off.

00:33:57.000 They just won't do it.

00:33:58.000 Look.

00:33:59.000 You know, Alex Jones came on the show a few years ago and was talking about that book.

00:34:03.000 Was it Ishmael?

00:34:03.000 Yeah.

00:34:04.000 And that's why we have the shirt on the Tim Kass store of the gorilla saying, I am a gorilla, because the point was in this book, the gorilla is basically a psychic gorilla.

00:34:12.000 I never read that.

00:34:13.000 Yeah, it's a great book.

00:34:14.000 I read it.

00:34:14.000 Daniel Quinn is the writer.

00:34:15.000 He's telling people that they're destroying the planet.

00:34:17.000 Is that what it is?

00:34:17.000 Yeah, he's telling this guy about how humanity is kind of destroying itself.

00:34:20.000 There's the levers and the takers, and there's too many takers on Earth right now.

00:34:23.000 I don't think it's wrong to say there's too many takers.

00:34:25.000 I think most people would agree.

00:34:26.000 There are a lot of people who extract.

00:34:28.000 They think they deserve everything and they're required to do nothing.

00:34:31.000 And it's fascinating that it is in fact largely communists and they're the ones saying To each according to their needs, from each according to their means.

00:34:38.000 And I'm like, you ain't doing nothing.

00:34:40.000 You're taking more than you need and you're giving back nothing.

00:34:42.000 Remember that time the Soviet Union destroyed an entire sea?

00:34:46.000 No.

00:34:47.000 Yeah, the Soviet Union emptied out a whole sea. 0.68

00:34:51.000 They did?

00:34:51.000 Remember when they murdered millions of people because they didn't care for the Ukrainians and took all their food?

00:34:57.000 The Holodomor.

00:34:59.000 Yeah, Holodomor.

00:35:00.000 That was a man-made famine.

00:35:02.000 Yeah, they were basically like, ethnic Ukrainians don't need food. 1.00

00:35:05.000 Russians do.

00:35:06.000 So they took all their food.

00:35:07.000 Oh, that's so crazy.

00:35:08.000 Yeah.

00:35:08.000 And they called the people that had a little bit of ability to farm that had, like, a cow and a farm.

00:35:16.000 They said that they had stolen that from the people.

00:35:20.000 Like, these people knew how to actually farm, and so they took their cow, they took their farms, and they said, you people should die first because you stole from the people.

00:35:29.000 So when they killed the farmers, If there was the famine that killed millions of people.

00:35:34.000 So someone said, no, Tim, the smelter are migrating fish.

00:35:37.000 They live in rivers, not bays.

00:35:39.000 They need moving water to survive.

00:35:42.000 You know, I'm just going to say it.

00:35:44.000 Who was it? 1.00

00:35:45.000 What was that line from Fight Club about pandas being too stupid to bang each other for their own species? 1.00

00:35:50.000 You remember? 1.00

00:35:51.000 No, I don't remember. 1.00

00:35:52.000 For every panda that was too stupid to have sex to save its own species. 1.00

00:35:55.000 It's like, dude, some animals aren't supposed to exist. 1.00

00:35:58.000 And this is the crazy thing.

00:36:00.000 The liberal mentality, they want you to believe that...

00:36:03.000 I love this.

00:36:06.000 The group that views the world predominantly through the lens of evolution doesn't accept evolution.

00:36:15.000 You have Christians who believe in creationism. 0.99

00:36:17.000 I personally don't.

00:36:17.000 I believe in evolution.

00:36:18.000 And then you have liberals who are like, evolution! 1.00

00:36:20.000 And you're like, okay, well the smelt are going to go extinct because they're dumb and they live in an area where they can't survive. 1.00

00:36:24.000 And they're like, nah. 0.99

00:36:25.000 We will use man-made artificial power to keep them alive and then let everyone in Southern California burn. 0.93

00:36:31.000 It kind of sounds like you hate humans.

00:36:35.000 There's a heat map that I've seen shared on X. I saw that.

00:36:40.000 People that are conservative, the heat map, basically it's a preference of people that are close to you or an abstraction of people.

00:36:48.000 People that are conservative, the heat map is all the people that are close to them.

00:36:51.000 The heat map shows that they prefer people that are close to them, their families, their communities, their loved ones.

00:36:56.000 And the left or progressive people, the heat map says that all the people they prefer are people that are an abstraction, people that are far away from them, other cultures, and the people that are close they hate.

00:37:09.000 It's like they want to accept everyone but protect nobody.

00:37:12.000 Let me see if I can find it.

00:37:14.000 The moment they bring you into the fold, they're like, yeah, we don't care about you.

00:37:17.000 And then the moment you do something wrong, you're excommunicated.

00:37:21.000 I mean, it is funny.

00:37:22.000 Once you go woke, they just...

00:37:26.000 Once you're an apostate for wokeness?

00:37:27.000 Yeah, there's no family in wokeness.

00:37:30.000 You mess up once and you're done.

00:37:33.000 There's no going back to sleep.

00:37:35.000 They don't believe in planting trees whose shade they know they will not sit beneath, and you know why?

00:37:39.000 It's because they don't have kids.

00:37:43.000 It's more than just that.

00:37:44.000 That's a big part of it, yeah.

00:37:46.000 People, you know, when that dude Mangione shot the CEO, first thing I said was, he's single, he's got no kids.

00:37:52.000 Of course.

00:37:54.000 Come on, like a dude who's got kids is substantially less likely.

00:37:57.000 To go into something insane like that.

00:37:58.000 Because he's going to be like, as angry as I am, I have children.

00:38:01.000 And they need me to feed them.

00:38:02.000 Also, I think they're, like, embedded in TV. I think, like, entertainment, they're embedded in entertainment.

00:38:09.000 Like, they got their television, their sports, they got their TV shows, their...

00:38:13.000 If you're watching the show, tweet, and you know that heat method I'm talking about, tweet it at me so I can share it here.

00:38:17.000 I can't find it.

00:38:18.000 Because it's easy to disassociate from your neighbors if you got, like...

00:38:22.000 Your community online or if you've got your TV show guy telling you what to do and your 50 cents a day you're sending to Africa to give some kid a cup of coffee or whatever those old...

00:38:32.000 I don't know for sure.

00:38:34.000 Lack of kids is probably the number one reason.

00:38:36.000 Also, not owning property, for me, I think, once you own your land, there's a big reason to take care of it.

00:38:43.000 Owning anything?

00:38:44.000 Yeah, any kind of ownership.

00:38:45.000 Even car ownership?

00:38:47.000 Oh, dude, you see the video of that leftist woman who gets her phone stolen?

00:38:50.000 And then she's arguing with the homeless people, being like, come on, I'm not rich, I'm a good person, can you give me my phone back? 0.99

00:38:55.000 And they're like, screw you. 0.99

00:38:56.000 But steal from rich people! 1.00

00:38:59.000 Oh, yeah, you know.

00:39:00.000 Now you're getting it, right?

00:39:02.000 Yeah, fire doesn't care what it burns.

00:39:03.000 That's right.

00:39:04.000 Light a fire.

00:39:05.000 It spreads in every direction, man.

00:39:07.000 And we're on Earth, so it's only two dimensions. 0.85

00:39:10.000 I can't believe the leopards ate my face, says man who voted for leopards eating your face party.

00:39:16.000 You know, I... Oh, you found the heat map? 0.77

00:39:18.000 Yeah, I did.

00:39:19.000 You sent it to me?

00:39:19.000 Do you want me to put it in the Slack?

00:39:21.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:39:23.000 We will pull up the...

00:39:25.000 Why liberals hate everybody map?

00:39:27.000 Is that what it is?

00:39:28.000 Well, it shows the difference between liberals and progressives in the IRL. Okay, liberals and progressives.

00:39:34.000 Well, I'm sorry, conservatives and progressives.

00:39:36.000 So the center, the one on the left is conservatives, the one on the right is liberals.

00:39:39.000 And it shows that the conservatives care for their family and the people in their lives and their community.

00:39:46.000 Liberals devote much of their concern to plants, trees, and inert identities such as rocks.

00:39:51.000 There's this great...

00:39:52.000 Well, I wish that were true, because they'd protect ancient relics and things like that.

00:39:56.000 You'd think.

00:39:57.000 There's a meme that you see frequently.

00:39:59.000 It's like, oh, the communists are siding with the bugs again.

00:40:03.000 Anytime you put up a Starship Troopers meme, people are like, well, you know, blah, blah, blah. 0.85

00:40:08.000 And it's like, yeah, look, the communists are siding with the bugs again, because they're creepy and weird like that.

00:40:13.000 Maybe what we need to do is we need to have, like...

00:40:16.000 A doctor, an Ozymandias, Dr. Manhattan-style hoax where the smelt stage a false flag where the smelt attack the Delta. 0.97

00:40:24.000 And then we have no choice but to divert the water to stop the evil threat of smelt. 0.99

00:40:27.000 Like a smelt eats a guy.

00:40:29.000 Like the smelt attack a dude.

00:40:31.000 Smelt carry COVID. Mm-hmm.

00:40:34.000 Let's just tell everybody that.

00:40:35.000 Oh, yeah, the smell.

00:40:36.000 That's scary disease.

00:40:37.000 Oh, yeah.

00:40:37.000 It's kind of like shaking someone awake to the harsh reality that some things have to die.

00:40:41.000 And it's like a horrible thing to say about some creatures, like on Mars, when we start terraforming and colonizing Mars, if there's a hostile life form, a bacteria, some protozoa, some microorganism, we will wipe that out.

00:40:54.000 We're not thinking twice.

00:40:55.000 Oh, right.

00:40:56.000 Self-preservation is number one.

00:40:58.000 And it sucks that we've colonized a desert.

00:41:00.000 Maybe that was a human mistake, but we're about to colonize Mars, which is another form of desert.

00:41:04.000 You know, I love it's like, when I see a stink bug in here, they're harmless.

00:41:08.000 They're smelly, so I don't like them.

00:41:10.000 But, you know, we'll scoop them up and we'll bring them outside.

00:41:12.000 If I see anything that looks remotely like a venomous insect, it dies.

00:41:16.000 Even ants, man. 0.87

00:41:16.000 I crush them. 0.87

00:41:17.000 Yeah.

00:41:18.000 If they don't stink, I'd like to take them outside, but it's such a lot of effort.

00:41:22.000 It depends on if there's like a ton of ants.

00:41:24.000 To walk outside.

00:41:26.000 If there's like a bunch of ants.

00:41:27.000 Then I'm...

00:41:28.000 Yeah.

00:41:29.000 You gotta stop them.

00:41:30.000 Yeah, the pheromone trails and all that stuff.

00:41:31.000 If it's one, it might be a scout.

00:41:32.000 I'll scoop it up and I'll just throw it in the garbage or something. 0.63

00:41:35.000 Okay.

00:41:35.000 And it's like, I don't know.

00:41:36.000 Answer a different story.

00:41:38.000 They're kind of just...

00:41:38.000 I like them, but...

00:41:39.000 Eh.

00:41:40.000 No, but like...

00:41:40.000 I don't treat them like stink bugs.

00:41:41.000 We got crickets all in here.

00:41:43.000 We just bring them outside.

00:41:43.000 We throw them outside.

00:41:44.000 And we can also collect them and give them to chickens.

00:41:47.000 Yeah.

00:41:47.000 You know, that's just, you know, food chain, right?

00:41:49.000 If it in any way is a threatening bug, it dies.

00:41:52.000 Yeah.

00:41:52.000 Let's just say that the smelt have stingers and they will sting you.

00:41:57.000 Poisonous venom gills. 0.96

00:41:58.000 Just tell them the smelts hate Trump. 0.90

00:42:00.000 No, they vote Trump.

00:42:02.000 They vote Trump.

00:42:02.000 The smelter Trump voters.

00:42:04.000 Yeah.

00:42:04.000 Gotta divert the Delta.

00:42:06.000 They'll be killed.

00:42:07.000 Really, it's this diverting water away from San Francisco Bay.

00:42:10.000 If that's going to destroy the Bay and annihilate the farms of San Francisco, that's a problem.

00:42:16.000 That's insurmountable.

00:42:17.000 Well, let's bring this to the class argument.

00:42:20.000 We got this story from Newsweek.

00:42:22.000 California insurer canceled policies months before Los Angeles wildfires.

00:42:26.000 This is weird.

00:42:29.000 Politico reports LA fires could break California's insurance market.

00:42:32.000 So how is it that four months ago and up to a few weeks ago, there's an insurer, there's a couple of them, I think a bunch of them actually, In Malibu and Palisades and Los Angeles that abruptly canceled fire insurance.

00:42:47.000 There's a video of a woman at a house, Fox News interviews her, and she's like, two weeks ago they canceled fire insurance, and now here we are.

00:42:54.000 What did these insurance companies know, and when did they know it?

00:42:58.000 They probably knew what we've all known for 15 years, which is California's a tinderbox.

00:43:04.000 Mismanaged.

00:43:05.000 Yeah, maybe they knew something, though, particular about this year.

00:43:10.000 But I know, like, what was it, 2018?

00:43:12.000 I mean, if I ever heard that there's a possibility of even fire hydrants not getting water if a fire were to break out, I mean, I'd probably uninsure the people as well.

00:43:22.000 Right?

00:43:23.000 So what I heard, sorry, I heard that there was a law saying that the insurers could not raise premiums by a certain amount, and so the insurance company said, okay, then we can't cover the cost of insurance.

00:43:36.000 Canceled.

00:43:36.000 That's wild, because if the flood insurers of Florida...

00:43:40.000 Or the people that insure for flooding.

00:43:42.000 I know that's a big hot point, too.

00:43:45.000 There's a lot of companies that just won't insure for flood damage in Florida because of the hurricanes.

00:43:49.000 But if they were to pull out right before hurricane season, that's why we have government to prevent private companies from...

00:43:56.000 He's just pulling it over on people.

00:43:57.000 The reason that the companies ended all the insurance or whatever, they canceled the insurance policies, is because they did an assessment of the situation.

00:44:08.000 Insurance companies aren't in the business of losing money, right?

00:44:11.000 And if they look at the situation, they see that the government is not managing the...

00:44:17.000 You know, the area properly, and there's a likelihood that there's going to be a fire, and there's a likelihood that it's going to cause massive damage.

00:44:26.000 A fire like this, ostensibly in that area, could put an entire insurance company out of business, right?

00:44:33.000 Like, you're talking billions and billions of dollars in damage, right?

00:44:36.000 It could totally put an insurance company out of business.

00:44:39.000 So they canceled those policies, not because they're, like, some evil...

00:44:43.000 Insurance company like the left thinks, but they looked at the situation and they said the state is not handling their job.

00:44:51.000 They're not taking care of the forest areas or the brush, and so this is too great of a risk.

00:44:58.000 The same reason they cancel those is the same reason that there are people that get into five, six, seven accidents with a boatload of speeding tickets that can't get car insurance because you're just too much of a risk.

00:45:10.000 That's the long and short of it.

00:45:12.000 They look at the situation and they say, we can't take this risk on because if there were a fire, like...

00:45:18.000 What's going on now?

00:45:19.000 It could literally put our entire company out of business because of the paying out of all of these policies.

00:45:24.000 So they canceled the policies because they couldn't handle the risk, which is completely normal when it comes to how insurance works.

00:45:31.000 Serge just sent me a list from Twitter of fires in California, one of the big ones.

00:45:37.000 And this is what we got.

00:45:37.000 2020, 2018, 2017, 18, 2017, 2016. But then before that, it was 2009. So it was in 2016 you started seeing them every year for a while.

00:45:48.000 There was probably some big degradation going on.

00:45:50.000 Then 2009, 2008, 2007, back all the way to 03 and so on, 93, 91. So, I mean, maybe there's been a string of fires in the last seven years.

00:46:00.000 I guess 21, 22, and 23, we looked pretty clear.

00:46:03.000 So according to Newsweek, they say State Farm, one of the biggest insurers in California, canceled hundreds of homeowners' policies last summer in the Pacific Palisades, the same area ravaged by the wildfire.

00:46:13.000 The move was justified by the company as an attempt to avoid financial failure, as the frequency and severity of wildfires is growing in the Golden State, especially in at-risk zones.

00:46:22.000 But as multiple fires currently are burning through Southern California...

00:46:30.000 I mean, how could you claim climate change too in California where they literally try everything they can to protect climate change? 0.98

00:46:53.000 Because they're dumb enough to believe it. 0.97

00:46:56.000 I mean, you have a point. 0.99

00:46:58.000 The idea of intentionally destroying an area to recoup it is not far off.

00:47:03.000 I don't know.

00:47:04.000 I feel like they're doing that in Ukraine.

00:47:05.000 They're just decimating it to rubble so that BlackRock can rebuild it and own a portion of it or something.

00:47:11.000 I don't know that I think that they're doing it in order to blame climate change because they have ample...

00:47:20.000 Excuses for climate change.

00:47:22.000 Everything, whether it be...

00:47:23.000 There's an entire season of hurricanes that they blame on climate change.

00:47:27.000 Every year there's these fires.

00:47:29.000 I don't think they need to have a more dramatic catastrophe so that way they can blame climate change.

00:47:38.000 I think they'll blame climate change no matter what.

00:47:42.000 It'll rain and they'll claim it's climate change.

00:47:44.000 Yeah, it doesn't matter what happens.

00:47:46.000 They're going to blame crime change.

00:47:47.000 Remember when there was a storm in D.C. and the storm sirens went off and AOC was like, this is climate change.

00:47:53.000 It was a tornado.

00:47:53.000 It's a tornado.

00:47:55.000 The funny thing is there are storm sirens because tornadoes do happen in the area and she was like, this is climate change.

00:48:02.000 No, we installed the storm sirens because this is common, actually.

00:48:06.000 It doesn't happen all the time, but it's like we know it happens.

00:48:09.000 I mean, dude, there was a tornado in New England maybe like 10 years ago, which is, you know, you think New England because it's all hills and stuff, you'd think that they wouldn't happen at all, but there was.

00:48:22.000 They can happen just about anywhere.

00:48:25.000 But still, I don't think that they need an excuse.

00:48:29.000 They're just going to blame climate change. 0.74

00:48:30.000 And like I said earlier...

00:48:32.000 Look, if you really are concerned with climate change and you really think it's something that's going to destroy the earth and the seeds are going to boil away, then you should be lobbying for us to invade China and invade India and take them over and institute actual policies that will stop their burning of coal and dung and all of the...

00:48:53.000 That's what I find the stupidest thing about climate change is we have these other countries, other places where literally their populations are...

00:48:59.000 Three times as large. 0.96

00:49:01.000 And if you watch the videos, it's like, there's like no controls on what they're doing.

00:49:05.000 Like, all these buses, everything, like, they're emitting all these things.

00:49:09.000 You know, I'm kind of happy we live the way we do.

00:49:12.000 Because these countries, if you look at the videos out of China where it's just smog everywhere.

00:49:16.000 Oh, I'm extremely happy we live in America.

00:49:18.000 And so we're like, we're looking at these countries.

00:49:20.000 You know, for once, I'd love to see Greta Thunberg say, how dare you, to China. 0.98

00:49:24.000 Just one time.

00:49:25.000 You know what I mean?

00:49:26.000 How dare you?

00:49:27.000 She said she goes to Europe and she's like, you got rid of plastic straws and you're all drinking out of chemical paper?

00:49:33.000 How dare you?

00:49:33.000 And we're like, China is the one that's dumping everything in the water, dude.

00:49:36.000 Come on.

00:49:37.000 Southeast Asia is where all of the plastic that is in the Pacific Ocean, all of it comes from Southeast Asia. 0.99

00:49:43.000 It's all coming from China and the islands and stuff like that.

00:49:46.000 Is that like an actual...

00:49:48.000 Yeah.

00:49:48.000 I have a picture of that.

00:49:50.000 that a huge majority comes out of yeah there's a third like there's more people that live in a circle over southeast asia that includes china and india there's more human beings that live inside that circle than live outside of it and i'll take i have a picture i'll find the picture i sort of feel like complaining about climate change is complaining about how poop stinks Like, okay, we all get it.

00:50:14.000 It stinks.

00:50:16.000 People are going to poop. 0.96

00:50:17.000 You can't make them stop.

00:50:18.000 People are going to create waste.

00:50:19.000 You can't make them stop.

00:50:20.000 People are going to burn wood.

00:50:21.000 Can't make them stop.

00:50:22.000 They're going to burn coal.

00:50:22.000 They're going to burn gas and oil.

00:50:24.000 Can't stop them.

00:50:25.000 Unless, like Phil said, you want to militarily invade and stand there on the corner with rifles and say you can't do it, they're going to do it.

00:50:32.000 So we need to figure out how to reuse the stuff, the waste product, not stop making the stuff or complain about it.

00:50:38.000 Here's what I want Trump to do.

00:50:40.000 He's going to set up something called The Review.

00:50:42.000 And in every city, there will be a building where you are required by appointment to show up.

00:50:47.000 And then they just ask you a simple question like, what are your thoughts on climate change?

00:50:51.000 And they're gonna say, oh, I think it's bad.

00:50:54.000 And it's like, do you think that we should ban the use or restrict the use of oil?

00:50:57.000 Yes.

00:50:58.000 Okay, boys!

00:50:59.000 And then a bunch of guys come in, strip them of all of their petroleum-based clothing, take away the keys to their car, seize their vehicle, go to their house, strip it down, they can live in a mud hut. 0.99

00:51:08.000 I'm joking.

00:51:09.000 The point is, all of these well-to-do liberal types that are like, but climate change.

00:51:13.000 There's a hilarious video.

00:51:14.000 Where you've got these, what are those protesters?

00:51:17.000 Do they block the streets?

00:51:18.000 Palestine protesters?

00:51:20.000 No, no, no, no.

00:51:21.000 The energy ones.

00:51:22.000 Oh, the climate.

00:51:24.000 Distinction Rebellion?

00:51:25.000 Yeah.

00:51:25.000 And there's a guy, and he's like, you're wearing a jacket made from petrochemicals.

00:51:30.000 Like, it's a petroleum-based plastic jacket with plastic synthetic filling.

00:51:34.000 Like, literally all of you are doused in oil, and you're sitting here complaining about it. 1.00

00:51:39.000 It is the most ridiculous, stupid stuff. 1.00

00:51:41.000 I tell you this. 1.00

00:51:41.000 If you want to complain about oil, we start with you. 1.00

00:51:44.000 Okay?

00:51:45.000 No more oil?

00:51:45.000 Fine.

00:51:46.000 First thing is, if you want to complain about oil, you're allowed to.

00:51:49.000 That was always allowed.

00:51:50.000 If you actually want to implement policy and make us change, you have to abandon all oil products first.

00:51:56.000 Ian, if you want to check out, I put up the picture.

00:51:58.000 Tweet it out?

00:51:59.000 Well, I put it in the Slack, in the Timcast IRL Slack.

00:52:02.000 I just don't like how they make, like, I remember in school they were telling us, like, oh, by 2030, New York City will be underwater, and it's like...

00:52:08.000 I go to New York City, it still looks just fine.

00:52:11.000 The Maldives?

00:52:12.000 I also think things are just going to happen.

00:52:16.000 You can't stop all forest fires.

00:52:19.000 It's inevitable that they're going to happen.

00:52:20.000 It's like a process of...

00:52:21.000 How old are you?

00:52:22.000 22. 22. So you said when you were in school, how long ago was that?

00:52:26.000 45 minutes.

00:52:27.000 No, I remember elementary school and they're telling you by 2030 or whatnot.

00:52:32.000 Right, right.

00:52:32.000 I know, but that's still like, what, 10 years ago?

00:52:34.000 Yeah.

00:52:36.000 25 years ago.

00:52:36.000 Were they telling you guys this stuff as well?

00:52:38.000 I'm 38!

00:52:38.000 Yes!

00:52:39.000 It's like nothing's changed.

00:52:40.000 I'm going to be 50 this year.

00:52:41.000 And they were telling you that too?

00:52:42.000 They were telling me by the time 2000 came around, when I was in grade school, when I was in...

00:52:50.000 Before, like, 89, 88, when I just got into high school, if we don't fix climate change, if we don't fix global warming, it was back then, all the snow caps are going to be gone.

00:53:01.000 There's a movie called An Inconvenient Truth that Al Gore, former vice president, made, and it came out in 2006, and he was swearing up and down that by 2020, five years ago, swearing up and down by 2020, the ice caps were going to be gone, and the seas were going to rise.

00:53:19.000 The massive problem with people my age listening to this garbage is we've been hearing the same garbage for literally 25 years, like Tim said, 30 years. 0.99

00:53:30.000 So it's like, you're full of crap. 0.99

00:53:32.000 The evidence is that none of the stuff that you've been saying for 30 years has come to fruition at all. 0.99

00:53:39.000 So why am I going to listen to you now?

00:53:42.000 They give you models, but they don't take into account mitigating circumstances a lot of times.

00:53:47.000 Things will change.

00:53:48.000 Technologies will be invented that will redirect the path that you're looking at in 30 years from now, so don't panic.

00:53:54.000 That's the biggest thing, is don't panic.

00:53:55.000 Don't create alarmism.

00:53:56.000 Maybe you want to ring the alarm, but do it with a purpose, with a solution.

00:54:00.000 But they should be saying, it's up to you to solve for this problem.

00:54:04.000 Good luck.

00:54:05.000 Instead of saying, the end is nigh, sorry, bye, she'd be saying, here's a problem we're facing, but we believe in you, and if you guys work hard enough, we will find a way through this.

00:54:14.000 I think we can find symbiosis with the climate, but it does take a global effort.

00:54:20.000 If the Chinese and the Indians are going to burn untold amounts of methane and carbon, then what?

00:54:28.000 We can't.

00:54:29.000 They burn dung.

00:54:30.000 A lot of people in India still burn dung because India is still like basically a third world country. 0.98

00:54:36.000 Like there are parts of India that are modern.

00:54:39.000 Sorry, do you mean like cow dung?

00:54:40.000 Yeah.

00:54:40.000 I'm not sure if it's cow because they look at cow as sacred.

00:54:45.000 So it might not be cow.

00:54:46.000 But the poop, I don't think.

00:54:47.000 I don't know.

00:54:48.000 I don't want to offend.

00:54:49.000 And they use a lot of kerosene a lot of places.

00:54:51.000 I mean, I don't know.

00:54:52.000 But the point that I'm making is when they're burning waste like that, that's because the options they have are very limited.

00:55:01.000 So, like, you've got...

00:55:02.000 You've got burning, you know, they're burning wood, burning dung, burning, some places are burning coal and stuff.

00:55:08.000 And like I said, there's a billion five in India.

00:55:12.000 Maybe 500 million of them live in modern cities and stuff like that.

00:55:19.000 That means there's a billion people that are still in the tribal areas, that are living in the rural areas, that don't have reliable indoor plumbing, that don't have...

00:55:27.000 I mean, they're living like they did 500 years ago.

00:55:29.000 And in China, there are fewer people that are living in the wilderness like the Indians, but there are still a large portion of China.

00:55:41.000 They're poor people and they live on farms and they got to do what they got to do to heat their homes because China has weather just like everywhere else in the world.

00:55:50.000 So it's not like if you fix America and if you just get everybody to change their lights to LED lights, we're going to solve climate change.

00:55:59.000 Or even if you get everybody to buy electric cars.

00:56:02.000 And I'm not against electric cars.

00:56:03.000 I love mine.

00:56:04.000 I got a Tesla.

00:56:05.000 I think it's the coolest thing in the world.

00:56:06.000 I love it.

00:56:07.000 I got a solar array on my house in New Hampshire.

00:56:09.000 I love it.

00:56:09.000 It's great.

00:56:10.000 I'm not against this stuff.

00:56:12.000 But the idea that you can just flip the switch and say, here, everybody go to this now, that's not happening.

00:56:16.000 No, and if there's a solar flare, you've got to burn oil.

00:56:20.000 Combustion.

00:56:20.000 You can't rely on batteries constantly, forever.

00:56:23.000 Bro, there will be a time in our future where, I don't know if Tesla will do it, but these electric cars, you're going to sit down in your car, the doors are going to lock, and it's going to be like, I'm sorry, I can't let you drive the car, Phil.

00:56:34.000 Your carbon emissions have been too high this week.

00:56:37.000 Only if you live in Canada. 0.62

00:56:38.000 Stop breathing.

00:56:39.000 Oh, everywhere, man.

00:56:40.000 We took a driverless car.

00:56:43.000 Canada, don't they have a carbon tax?

00:56:45.000 Probably.

00:56:45.000 They might, yeah.

00:56:47.000 They probably have a white privilege tax, as far as I can tell.

00:56:49.000 I'm sure they do.

00:56:50.000 Carbon consumption, you get taxed on it.

00:56:52.000 Yeah, you get taxed on your amount of, like, carbon you emit into the...

00:56:55.000 Emissions?

00:56:56.000 Oh, did you guys see the congestion fee now in New York?

00:57:00.000 Uh-uh.

00:57:00.000 Yeah, it's like $9.

00:57:02.000 $9 for cars, yeah.

00:57:04.000 For what?

00:57:04.000 Per day or per week or what?

00:57:06.000 Every time you pass the street.

00:57:08.000 What?

00:57:09.000 What street?

00:57:10.000 Once you enter into downtown Manhattan, I think 60th Street, you charge $9. 0.91

00:57:15.000 But the stupid thing is these service companies as well that have the plumbers, electricians, they're charging them anywhere from $15 to $35 or $25.

00:57:28.000 They're trying to stop the flow of traffic. 0.99

00:57:31.000 Meanwhile, they're just going to cause the prices.

00:57:33.000 They want people to use the subway.

00:57:35.000 Check it out.

00:57:35.000 This is New York City drivers trying to TikTok to share illegal hacks to dodge $15 congestion fee.

00:57:40.000 I thought it was $9.

00:57:41.000 This is from CarScoops.

00:57:43.000 It's $9 for me and you to drive in, but it goes up for different types of cars.

00:57:49.000 Makes sense.

00:57:50.000 Yeah, collecting from most drivers.

00:57:52.000 So I've been seeing these reports where people are now, they've always had this stuff where you can put this like epoxy over your license plate.

00:58:00.000 So to the human eye, it looks normal.

00:58:02.000 But when you take a picture with a flash, it just blurs out white.

00:58:05.000 And so New York posted this article where they're like, the congestion fee has resulted in people smashing their license plates, bending them, so the cameras can't AI scan the number, or scratching out one of the numbers, or they do a thing where they stick a leaf.

00:58:19.000 They use like a light adhesive so it can peel right off, and they put a leaf on it so you can't see one number.

00:58:24.000 That way they can be like, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize a leaf was on my license plate.

00:58:27.000 It's not my fault.

00:58:28.000 Because they don't want to pay this fee. 0.95

00:58:30.000 I mean, it's ridiculous.

00:58:31.000 They're already paying so much money in taxes, and then every single day, like, they give $12 million to migrants in New York City.

00:58:38.000 Right?

00:58:39.000 They want everybody to go into the subway and get lit on fire.

00:58:42.000 Have you seen the photos and the videos of people all hugging the walls now?

00:58:46.000 Oh, man.

00:58:47.000 In the New York City subways.

00:58:48.000 So I'll tell you, when I used to take the subway in New York, I would always stay the F away from the edge.

00:58:54.000 Because, listen, it wasn't that it was the most prominent thing where people were being shoved in front of trains, but there was always four or five crazy guys spitting and yelling and shaking, and I'm like, you just never know.

00:59:06.000 I've seen fights break out.

00:59:07.000 Then with all of the people, did you guys see that video from, like, last week?

00:59:11.000 Where the dude is on his phone, and then some dude just walks up and shoves him right in front of a train.

00:59:15.000 Yeah, he survived.

00:59:16.000 That guy did, I heard.

00:59:17.000 Critical injuries, but he survived.

00:59:19.000 They found the guy that pushed him.

00:59:20.000 Yup.

00:59:21.000 And why did he do it?

00:59:22.000 So now there are these videos and photos popping up where everybody's just up against the wall.

00:59:26.000 Good.

00:59:27.000 Good?

00:59:28.000 No, dude.

00:59:29.000 We should have to live this way.

00:59:30.000 And I wonder if it's like downtown Manhattan.

00:59:34.000 Because we've all taken the subway, and you feel somewhat safe, but then when you get out to the outskirts, I wonder if that's where the craziness happens for the most part.

00:59:41.000 I mean, one time I was on the subway in Bronx, and some guy looked at me, and I looked at him, and he's like, what you looking at, Eli Manning?

00:59:49.000 I'll blow your face up.

00:59:51.000 I was like, what? 0.99

00:59:51.000 He's like, blood will spread everywhere. 0.99

00:59:53.000 I'll knock your ass out. 1.00

00:59:53.000 I was like, what the heck? 1.00

00:59:55.000 You're crazy. 1.00

00:59:56.000 You have a mental illness problem as well, and people... 1.00

01:00:00.000 Are on the subways as well, and they're dangerous. 0.99

01:00:02.000 That guy that threatened me that day, he said he was going to shoot me because I was looking at him, called me Eli Manning.

01:00:07.000 I was like, what?

01:00:08.000 You do look like Eli Manning.

01:00:09.000 You do.

01:00:10.000 I was like, oh, hell yeah, you do, dude.

01:00:12.000 You look like Eli.

01:00:13.000 But it's just a little dangerous.

01:00:16.000 Now they're just going to have so many people on those subways going in.

01:00:20.000 Because I saw a video, and the traffic does look less, and so, I mean, all those people are on the subway, and the subway's already packed, and those things are not even clean inside.

01:00:28.000 They're gross.

01:00:29.000 I mean, so we did All That Remains, the band that I'm in, did a tour a couple years back, and we had the option of going into Manhattan and playing, or just doing a couple shows outside of the city.

01:00:39.000 We did one on Long Island, and we did one in Jersey. 0.97

01:00:41.000 Because going into Manhattan is too much of a pain in the balls. 0.83

01:00:45.000 What's the point? 0.96

01:00:46.000 You drive a bus in, you have to, if you can drive...

01:00:49.000 Drive the bus in.

01:00:50.000 You can only get dropped off, and the bus can't stay.

01:00:52.000 The bus has to go and stay at the Vince Lombardi in Jersey.

01:00:56.000 You cannot bring trucks in.

01:00:58.000 You can't bring an 18-wheeler or a box truck in.

01:01:01.000 You can't stay there. 0.99

01:01:02.000 So it just makes everything about playing in the city a pain in the ass. 0.99

01:01:06.000 And we go to the Starland Ballroom in Jersey, which is a phenomenal room. 0.99

01:01:11.000 It's close enough where people will go, like the surrounding area, they'll go to the Starland.

01:01:17.000 And if you play somewhere, It's not like there are people on Manhattan that won't leave New York.

01:01:30.000 Of course, there's some people that are like, well, I don't have a car, and so I don't want to go too far away.

01:01:33.000 But at the same time, if you can go to these other rooms and have the same turnout or better because...

01:01:40.000 People don't want to go into the city anymore.

01:01:42.000 What's the point of going to the city?

01:01:44.000 And I know that All That Remains isn't the only band that's like, I don't want to go and play in the city.

01:01:48.000 It's too much of a hassle.

01:01:49.000 I can't get my bus in there.

01:01:50.000 I can't get our 18-wheeler in there.

01:01:52.000 We can't get our box truck in there. 0.99

01:01:53.000 It's too much of a pain in the ass to do it. 0.96

01:01:56.000 So why would people go do it? 0.98

01:01:58.000 And why are they penalizing tourism as well?

01:02:00.000 Yeah.

01:02:02.000 And do you feel bad for the people that have these service companies?

01:02:05.000 because, I mean, if anything, they should be exempt from that congestion fee price because they're trying to make money, and then they just add another fee on top of them.

01:02:12.000 It makes it even harder for them to make money inside these big cities where it's already hard enough to make enough money.

01:02:16.000 Are people that have electric vehicles, do they not have to pay?

01:02:20.000 I think they do.

01:02:21.000 Yeah, I'm pretty sure they all do.

01:02:23.000 It's about congestion.

01:02:23.000 It's a congestion fee?

01:02:25.000 It's like in California when you just have all these random tourism taxes, and it's like, why are they penalizing you for being a tourist or wanting to come and give money to the city and help like And fuel their economy.

01:02:39.000 I think that you've got to pay money to cross the bridge, obviously.

01:02:42.000 The one in New Jersey, for sure, when you enter.

01:02:44.000 It was $10, $12, $15 back when I was living there 10, 15 years ago.

01:02:49.000 And I think that was just a payoff.

01:02:52.000 It was supposed to be a temporary fee.

01:02:54.000 I could be wrong about that.

01:02:55.000 I don't know if you guys know this story better.

01:02:56.000 There are no fees that are ever temporary.

01:02:57.000 Yeah, they spin it up, and they're like, this is to pay off the cost of the bridge.

01:03:01.000 And then all of a sudden, they're like, wow, now we use the money for...

01:03:05.000 I-90 in Massachusetts was supposed to have a toll just until it was finished being made.

01:03:10.000 And then after that, they held on to it, and they were saying, oh, once the big dig is done, then we'll get rid of the toll.

01:03:16.000 Big dig's been done for like 15 years or something like that, and they've still got a toll there.

01:03:20.000 It's kind of like the Panama Canal.

01:03:21.000 Once you dig it, you want to keep it forever.

01:03:24.000 Same way with these tolls.

01:03:25.000 Anyway, I just want to talk about the Panama Canal a little bit.

01:03:28.000 I'm glad that Trump wants it back.

01:03:30.000 I mean, it's a military need, but anyway, I digress.

01:03:32.000 And what's annoying, too, about these tolls is if you pull up a lot of times and you want to pay, there's nobody inside the toll box, and so then you just get some random bill that you forget about in your mail, and then you're paying $50.

01:03:44.000 I mean, I go all across the country, and I have hundreds of dollars of these toll fees.

01:03:48.000 I'm like, what bridge?

01:03:50.000 Where did I cross?

01:03:51.000 Do you easy pass?

01:03:53.000 Do I? Not when I'm renting all these cars.

01:03:57.000 You can't take your easy pass from car to car?

01:03:59.000 I probably could.

01:04:00.000 I need to look into that.

01:04:01.000 But here's a funny thing.

01:04:02.000 This is a congestion pricing advocate attacked at NYC subway station.

01:04:07.000 I guess not funny.

01:04:08.000 As new $9 toll pushes people to mass transit.

01:04:11.000 So be careful what you wish for.

01:04:14.000 A vocal proponent of the state's controversial congestion pricing plan was attacked in Manhattan subway station over the weekend.

01:04:21.000 Layla Law Gacico, president of the City Club of New York, which sued Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists, was bruised and battered.

01:04:30.000 Geez, man.

01:04:31.000 Wow, New Yorkers ain't having it. 0.99

01:04:32.000 Does that count towards Red Yard's, you know, thing?

01:04:35.000 She's alive, so thankfully she's alive.

01:04:38.000 Yeah, I feel like I should have taken up Red Yard on that bet, because I think I'd win.

01:04:43.000 I mean, I think you're right, but at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if it does get into, you know.

01:04:49.000 Double or triple digits.

01:04:51.000 So this is the dude that pushed to get this thing, the lady that pushed to get it implemented, the tax, and then people rose up against it?

01:04:58.000 Yeah, they're very much mad.

01:04:59.000 They want, like, all people taking Ubers and whatever, autonomous vehicles, basically.

01:05:04.000 They want Waymos.

01:05:05.000 Yeah, he took those in Phoenix.

01:05:08.000 For the first time, a driverless vehicle, dude, it was awesome.

01:05:11.000 Except, it's gonna rain, and you're gonna walk out, and the Waymo's gonna pull up, you're gonna sit down, it's gonna drive two blocks, a thunderstorm's gonna start, and it's gonna stop dead in the middle of the street, and it's gonna be like, must wait due to inclement weather.

01:05:21.000 And you're gonna go, okay, I guess I'm stuck.

01:05:23.000 Is that coded into the thing?

01:05:24.000 I don't know much about it.

01:05:25.000 Tesla can't auto-drive when it's a bad storm.

01:05:29.000 And you can't get, oh, okay.

01:05:32.000 Like...

01:05:32.000 It technically can, but every single time it's rained or snowed out here, it says, like, auto-steer unavailable.

01:05:39.000 Yeah.

01:05:40.000 So, I don't know, maybe Waymo's got that big spinning thing on top that can navigate better.

01:05:45.000 Waymo doesn't use cameras, do they?

01:05:49.000 It's all sonar.

01:05:51.000 Really?

01:05:52.000 And New York's nice gridded, so it's like you're either going straight or you're turning 90 degrees for the most part.

01:05:57.000 Maybe they put nodes on every intersection.

01:06:00.000 On the corners so the car knows where it is.

01:06:02.000 And then every other car is going to have this node installed on it.

01:06:05.000 It would be pretty cool if you walked down to Lower Manhattan and it's just constant.

01:06:07.000 The cars, they're all moving in synchronicity and then they all stop at once and all the pedestrians move and then they all move in synchronicity again.

01:06:14.000 That's their plan.

01:06:15.000 That's what the technocrats want. 0.98

01:06:17.000 They want it so that no one owns a car.

01:06:19.000 You open up your Uber app and you click vehicle and then like an egg-shaped pod pulls up, opens up, and it's just chairs facing each other.

01:06:26.000 You sit down and it drives you where you want to go.

01:06:27.000 And then if there's a forest fire, you're like, where's my Waymo?

01:06:30.000 And you're like, no, get out.

01:06:32.000 Get out now.

01:06:32.000 And you're like, but I don't have a car anymore.

01:06:34.000 Get out.

01:06:35.000 Good luck getting out of the city.

01:06:36.000 You will owe nothing and you will be happy.

01:06:38.000 That's what they want?

01:06:39.000 Ah, man, it's so convenient.

01:06:40.000 Have you taken a Waymo?

01:06:41.000 I have not.

01:06:42.000 Have you been in a driverless vehicle?

01:06:44.000 No, just a few Teslas.

01:06:45.000 Yeah, but have you seen that video?

01:06:46.000 The Waymo's are so spooky looking.

01:06:47.000 They've got these propellers on the top, all these things.

01:06:50.000 They're like, what?

01:06:51.000 Who was talking about it where the guy was in the parking lot and he was late for his flight and the Waymo was just going in circles in the parking lot?

01:06:58.000 Nightmare fuel.

01:06:59.000 Was that Cliff talking about that the other day?

01:07:00.000 Do the Waymo's at least have a steering wheel inside?

01:07:02.000 Let's see if I can find that.

01:07:03.000 It's a regular...

01:07:03.000 If you sit in the front seat...

01:07:07.000 The driver's seat, it'll stop and it'll call the customer service of the Waymo.

01:07:10.000 We found that out firsthand.

01:07:13.000 You tried?

01:07:14.000 Yeah.

01:07:14.000 Because I wanted to put my bag in the driver's seat.

01:07:17.000 Nope.

01:07:17.000 Because I was like, wait, it's a big empty spot to store something while we're moving.

01:07:21.000 No, it's not.

01:07:21.000 But they warned me, don't do it, Ian.

01:07:23.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:07:24.000 Which is still a little dumb. 0.97

01:07:25.000 In my opinion. 0.85

01:07:26.000 Like, they should utilize that area for storage, of course.

01:07:29.000 Yeah, look at this.

01:07:29.000 Me, Serge Carter.

01:07:30.000 Man nearly misses flight as self-driving Waymo taxi drives around a parking lot in circles.

01:07:35.000 Where's the video, though?

01:07:37.000 Freaking furious.

01:07:39.000 What is this?

01:07:39.000 What happens if you just open the...

01:07:42.000 Why is this happening to me on a Monday?

01:07:44.000 I'm in a Waymo car.

01:07:46.000 This car may be recorded for quality assurance.

01:07:49.000 This car is just going in circles.

01:07:53.000 Poor dude.

01:07:58.000 Yeah, I got a flight to catch.

01:08:02.000 Why is this thing going in a circle?

01:08:03.000 I'm getting dizzy.

01:08:04.000 Look at what it's doing.

01:08:07.000 I understand.

01:08:08.000 I'm really, really sorry, Mike.

01:08:09.000 We're currently working with the situation of the vehicle.

01:08:11.000 Is it circling around a parking lot, right?

01:08:13.000 It's circling around a parking lot.

01:08:16.000 I got my seatbelt on.

01:08:18.000 I can't get out the car.

01:08:19.000 The future has gone.

01:08:20.000 What's going on?

01:08:21.000 I feel like if he'd have done something.

01:08:23.000 Is somebody planning to jump on me?

01:08:25.000 Yeah.

01:08:26.000 And I got a flight to Caps.

01:08:28.000 I understand, Mike.

01:08:29.000 I'm really sorry for this.

01:08:30.000 We're working with this, but do you have an access to your Waymo app right now?

01:08:35.000 Uh, yeah.

01:08:37.000 I'm gonna be pulling the car over while we are trying to assist the car.

01:08:42.000 It really is just going in a circle.

01:08:44.000 Oh my goodness.

01:08:45.000 I just better not be late for the flight.

01:08:47.000 You guys are gonna take care of the flight.

01:08:49.000 That part.

01:08:50.000 Yeah, she doesn't want to pay for that. 0.99

01:08:52.000 This is crazier.

01:08:54.000 Oh, there it goes again!

01:08:56.000 Open the door.

01:09:00.000 Can't you just do it?

01:09:01.000 You should be able to handle it.

01:09:02.000 Take over the car.

01:09:03.000 You don't need my phone.

01:09:06.000 I don't have an option to control the car.

01:09:09.000 Wow.

01:09:10.000 That's amazing, dude. 0.99

01:09:12.000 One of my favorite memes was like, the future is stupid, and it's like, my book ran out of batteries. 0.98

01:09:18.000 It's like, yep. 1.00

01:09:21.000 That's where we're at right now.

01:09:22.000 I'm excited for the future, though.

01:09:24.000 I love the convenience, but... 0.99

01:09:26.000 Damn, they can drive your car from a distance. 0.99

01:09:28.000 That's pretty crazy. 1.00

01:09:28.000 Have you seen the... 1.00

01:09:30.000 There's a company that offers the dog-style robots.

01:09:34.000 Offers them now for $1,600.

01:09:36.000 What? 0.54

01:09:37.000 Holy crap, we've got to get one of those. 0.99

01:09:38.000 What? 0.99

01:09:39.000 Get an office dog.

01:09:40.000 Get like three of them for the office.

01:09:42.000 Security parameter checks.

01:09:43.000 Yeah, I don't know the name of the company off the top of my head, but I'll grab it for you.

01:09:45.000 I was listening to the All In podcast.

01:09:47.000 And it's a Chinese company, so anything that's...

01:09:51.000 Oh, I mean, dude, you can get it on Amazon for $4,000.

01:09:54.000 Exactly.

01:09:55.000 And they have the humanoid-style one for around $15,000.

01:10:01.000 What?

01:10:02.000 And now the big breakthrough that they're talking about in AI is agentic AI. So AI that can do things more than just Google search for you, right?

01:10:13.000 Because that's essentially what LLMs are right now.

01:10:16.000 But if you can get an AI to say, hey...

01:10:19.000 Oh yeah, here it is.

01:10:20.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

01:10:21.000 It's crazy good.

01:10:22.000 Dang.

01:10:23.000 There's one that it does, yeah.

01:10:24.000 Look at it, it's dancing.

01:10:26.000 What's it doing?

01:10:26.000 I wonder if I can ride a skateboard, dude.

01:10:28.000 Look at that!

01:10:28.000 We gotta teach it how to ride a skateboard.

01:10:29.000 There's one that has wheels.

01:10:30.000 There's a video of one.

01:10:31.000 Look at it go!

01:10:32.000 Look at it go, it's got moves. 0.77

01:10:34.000 There's a dude sitting on it with the wheels and it is hauling ass. 0.99

01:10:38.000 These will shoot fire as well. 0.97

01:10:39.000 Well, I've seen those, yeah.

01:10:40.000 Dude, mount some cameras to that thing. 0.56

01:10:42.000 Give it a skateboard. 0.99

01:10:42.000 What's its face doing? 0.99

01:10:44.000 That's just the gyroscope to help.

01:10:45.000 You know that thing's gonna be able to drop it on the demon dropover. 0.78

01:10:48.000 That's not a gyroscope on its face?

01:10:49.000 Yeah, that's why it's spinning.

01:10:50.000 Dude.

01:10:51.000 That thing's gonna be able to skate this park better than anything. 1.00

01:10:53.000 I'm not 100% sure, but that's...

01:10:54.000 No, a gyro's gonna be like a disc inside its body. 1.00

01:10:58.000 Oh, it's a sonar.

01:10:59.000 Sonar?

01:11:00.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

01:11:01.000 So, listen, the...

01:11:03.000 When they...

01:11:04.000 If they do...

01:11:04.000 Oh, look at that!

01:11:05.000 They got the human one! 0.94

01:11:06.000 Yeah, this thing is like 15 grand.

01:11:08.000 Oh, my God.

01:11:09.000 Oh, dude.

01:11:10.000 It doesn't have hands on it yet, but...

01:11:12.000 You'll get a skateboard, bro.

01:11:13.000 Can we buy this and just have it run down Martinsburg full speed, like, down Main Street?

01:11:17.000 Someone will steal it.

01:11:18.000 Well, maybe, actually.

01:11:19.000 Look, we're less than a year or maybe 18 months away from androids of being available to do your dishes.

01:11:28.000 Or your security.

01:11:29.000 Well, I mean, security is fine.

01:11:32.000 At least alerting the press.

01:11:34.000 No, but the point that I'm making is once you get an actual AI that can actually perform tasks...

01:11:42.000 Yeah, like washing dishes.

01:11:43.000 Exactly.

01:11:43.000 The robot like that is $15,000, and what's going to happen is...

01:11:47.000 Your average middle class person, right?

01:11:50.000 Poor people aren't going to be able to yet.

01:11:51.000 But your average middle class person, they're going to look at that and say, I don't have to do dishes, mow the lawn, or go do groceries anymore for $550 a month because they'll finance it?

01:12:02.000 Look at this, that skate park.

01:12:03.000 You know what I want to do?

01:12:04.000 I want to get like 50 of them, and then I want to have them attack Special Mike. 0.97

01:12:08.000 You'd beat them all.

01:12:09.000 One of our team riders. 0.99

01:12:10.000 I'd just give them a sword. 0.97

01:12:11.000 Give them a big stick. 0.99

01:12:12.000 That out there would be sick.

01:12:15.000 But I mean, look at $1,500.

01:12:18.000 So like in the next year or two, like Musk has talked about, you know, at some point in the next five years, there's going to be more robots.

01:12:28.000 Running around the world than there are humans.

01:12:30.000 And the reason is because if they're right about the price points and your average person can pay $15,000, $500 a month for five years or whatever, that's right around a used Prius, right?

01:12:44.000 So if you can get a robot that does all of the annoying housework for you and does it properly for $15,000, you're going to have a massive amount of people that are middle class that will say, I'll pay that monthly bill.

01:12:57.000 I've been watching Westworld.

01:12:59.000 Because I watched the first season and never watched the rest of it because I hear it's bad.

01:13:02.000 So I was like, well, you know, I'm waiting for Landman on Sunday, so I put on Westworld.

01:13:07.000 And this is kind of freaky stuff, you know?

01:13:09.000 Oh.

01:13:10.000 Have you seen Westworld?

01:13:11.000 No.

01:13:12.000 You know what it's about?

01:13:13.000 It's like an Old West VR realm or something?

01:13:15.000 It's not VR. It's like they make a bunch of robots that are like humans, so you can just goof off and do whatever you want.

01:13:19.000 So it's a real place?

01:13:20.000 It's not a virtual?

01:13:21.000 It's a real place.

01:13:22.000 Okay.

01:13:22.000 But the robots come to life, like, wake up.

01:13:26.000 Dude, these things are Chinese. 0.99

01:13:29.000 That's some spyware.

01:13:30.000 You buy one of these and put them in here.

01:13:32.000 CCP's got you mapped out.

01:13:33.000 Bro, I'm going to buy like...

01:13:35.000 I'm buying this.

01:13:37.000 Special Mike.

01:13:38.000 I'm not going to tell Mike, and I'm just going to have it chase him one day.

01:13:41.000 He'll walk in and go, hey guys, and it just runs out of the room full speed.

01:13:45.000 Ian, you're right.

01:13:46.000 It is basically Chinese spyware, but there's going to be, as the technology progresses, this is the type of thing that will get significantly cheaper as more people buy them.

01:13:57.000 Just like your cell phones and just like your TVs.

01:14:00.000 You can buy a TV that has all the...

01:14:03.000 All the features you could possibly want, HD, 4K, for $1,000.

01:14:07.000 I imagine cars are intentionally kept expensive.

01:14:10.000 I could be wrong about that, but $16,000 for a car?

01:14:12.000 Look at what a Model 3 can do for $35,000.

01:14:17.000 Yeah.

01:14:18.000 So it's not that they're intentionally kept expensive.

01:14:23.000 So with these things, because I want one of these robots, I want to literally go buy one tonight.

01:14:28.000 I'm not going to, because it's CCP. Are you?

01:14:31.000 Yeah.

01:14:31.000 I'm going to buy three to have them monitor the perimeter.

01:14:35.000 That's sick.

01:14:35.000 And they'll just be walking around, and then they'll give us alerts when they encounter people.

01:14:39.000 Give them each a name, because I want to be like, oh, hello, Rufus.

01:14:42.000 I'm going to number them one, two, and four.

01:14:44.000 Okay, perfect.

01:14:47.000 One, two, and Johnny five.

01:14:50.000 Well, the point is, if the people find the three of them, and they say one, two, four, they'll be like, where's the last one?

01:14:54.000 Did someone let the dogs in at the end of the night?

01:14:57.000 You won't need to let them in, actually, ever. 0.66

01:14:58.000 You know, what I'd love to do is I'd love to have Seamus ride one of them.

01:15:02.000 The cat or the man?

01:15:03.000 There's a video of...

01:15:04.000 Oh, yeah, that'd be cool.

01:15:04.000 Depending on how big they are.

01:15:05.000 There's a video of a human being riding one with the wheels I saw.

01:15:08.000 I don't know where it was.

01:15:09.000 I don't think it's on their website, but I saw it.

01:15:11.000 I don't know.

01:15:11.000 It might have been on YouTube.

01:15:13.000 There's one with wheels and one without.

01:15:14.000 What is this industry one?

01:15:16.000 Like, what's the point?

01:15:16.000 I don't understand.

01:15:18.000 Unitree.

01:15:19.000 Oh, so can you swap the legs in?

01:15:22.000 You gotta do all the wheels.

01:15:23.000 That's cool.

01:15:24.000 Modular.

01:15:25.000 And then what industry, like, he'll be used for transporting wood and materials and stuff?

01:15:29.000 Don't you just think it'd be, like, really fun if you were, like, standing and ten of them were running full speed at you and you had, like, a sword and you just had to fight them off?

01:15:36.000 I'd rather play space pirate.

01:15:37.000 In the Discord, there's a link to the dude riding it.

01:15:40.000 What?

01:15:41.000 In the Discord.

01:15:41.000 I don't know if I can pull that one up.

01:15:43.000 It's on YouTube.

01:15:44.000 Yeah, I know, but what's the title of it?

01:15:46.000 Why don't you send it to me?

01:15:48.000 There it is.

01:15:49.000 Your car will become your robot.

01:15:50.000 I mean, that's what he names an optimist, Elon.

01:15:52.000 He sent it to me.

01:15:53.000 He's the transformer.

01:15:54.000 So you could ride your car and then the car will stand up and become like humanoid and then we'll go. 0.86

01:16:00.000 It'd be like a motorcycle.

01:16:02.000 Yo, look at this.

01:16:02.000 I got it.

01:16:03.000 Okay.

01:16:04.000 Yeah.

01:16:04.000 And this is legit.

01:16:05.000 Like, this is not AI. What?

01:16:09.000 So this is the thing we could buy right now?

01:16:11.000 Yeah, you can ride it?

01:16:11.000 Right now.

01:16:12.000 Bro, I'll ride this to the store.

01:16:13.000 That'd be hilarious.

01:16:14.000 Dude, that'd be awesome.

01:16:14.000 And then, like, when I go inside, I'll be like, RoboDogStay.

01:16:17.000 Wow, look at that.

01:16:21.000 You know, I just want to point something out real quick.

01:16:23.000 Like, you hear that rock music in the background?

01:16:25.000 That's AI. Music.

01:16:28.000 Yeah, I just, I don't know for sure.

01:16:30.000 No, I'm just saying it's kind of funny because we were talking about yesterday that the last rock song to hit number one was in 2001 and it was Nickelback.

01:16:36.000 It was funny that all these companies use rock as their, like, background music despite, like, not charting.

01:16:41.000 Oh, it did a 180!

01:16:43.000 Look at that! 0.99

01:16:44.000 Oh, crap, dude. 0.98

01:16:45.000 180. Can you defeat the dog? 1.00

01:16:48.000 You think, oh, I want to fight this thing.

01:16:49.000 They gave him a skate with that thing, dude.

01:16:51.000 Do you think China ever just laughs at us when we're talking about climate change and meanwhile they're just building all this stuff? 0.99

01:16:56.000 They're like, look at you guys.

01:16:58.000 Boston Dynamics has stuff that really makes this stuff, or that does all this stuff as well.

01:17:04.000 It's just that China, they just release it to the public faster than the U.S. is allowed to.

01:17:10.000 It's like getting your video game console in your house.

01:17:12.000 I want to see it hit that handrail.

01:17:14.000 Wow, look at that.

01:17:15.000 Like, that was a...

01:17:16.000 Nintendo just wants you to get the console for cheap so that they can make you buy a bunch of games.

01:17:20.000 They just want you to get this thing for cheap so they can spy on you.

01:17:23.000 40 kilograms, dude.

01:17:23.000 Yeah.

01:17:23.000 That's carrying 80 pounds.

01:17:27.000 Look at that.

01:17:28.000 Just over obstacles and stuff.

01:17:29.000 You could have to go to the store and pick up milk for you.

01:17:31.000 Dang, that thing's got a motor on it.

01:17:33.000 What?

01:17:33.000 Here we go.

01:17:34.000 Is this thing real?

01:17:35.000 I'm buying this.

01:17:36.000 Put a saddle on with some stirrups to keep your feet off the ground.

01:17:39.000 He's riding it.

01:17:40.000 Yeah, I told you.

01:17:41.000 Uh-oh.

01:17:42.000 You guys...

01:17:43.000 No, I believed you.

01:17:44.000 Look at that.

01:17:44.000 Dude, this thing will do the vert.

01:17:46.000 For real.

01:17:48.000 I bet it could do the drop-in.

01:17:50.000 100%.

01:17:51.000 It's kind of like a motorcycle.

01:17:52.000 You've just sort of bypassed turning cars into these things and you've built them that have the same function as the car.

01:17:59.000 Obviously, it's tiny, but that's a quad cycle.

01:18:02.000 You've got to call them and they're in China?

01:18:06.000 Buy now.

01:18:07.000 Shop.

01:18:09.000 $16,000 for the human.

01:18:11.000 Oh, man.

01:18:12.000 I think we gotta do it.

01:18:14.000 Yeah, dude.

01:18:14.000 And we gotta put, like, a human silicon mask on it.

01:18:17.000 That sounds good.

01:18:19.000 Yeah.

01:18:20.000 We'll get, like, an expert with facial reconstruction.

01:18:24.000 Here's the problem.

01:18:25.000 You go to order it, and it's like, contact us.

01:18:28.000 It's like, uh-huh.

01:18:30.000 You probably spend extra to get it.

01:18:32.000 Oh, here we go.

01:18:33.000 There you go.

01:18:34.000 You can buy it right now.

01:18:35.000 You can buy one from Amazon for four grand.

01:18:38.000 Does it come with the wheels?

01:18:39.000 They have the top...

01:18:40.000 3D Shop Unitree 29. Unitree.

01:18:48.000 This is like the deal with the devil.

01:18:50.000 This is like putting Alexa in my house.

01:18:51.000 We're not going to bring it inside.

01:18:52.000 Alexa off. 1.00

01:18:52.000 It's going to walk around outside. 1.00

01:18:54.000 Yeah.

01:18:54.000 The EDU weighs 15 kilograms.

01:18:57.000 Aluminum alloy, high-strength engineering plastic.

01:19:00.000 Is that the top level?

01:19:01.000 Payload, 8 kilograms.

01:19:02.000 Aw, see, it's 80-bitty.

01:19:04.000 8 kilograms.

01:19:05.000 I might have to buy one to see how it takes 5.56 rounds.

01:19:11.000 Yeah, geez, what are they made of?

01:19:13.000 Aluminum.

01:19:14.000 Okay, these things are lightweight.

01:19:18.000 How do I buy the guy?

01:19:19.000 Could you imagine just like this dude, this robot walking around, and then someone comes here to act a fool, and the robot just walks up?

01:19:24.000 Or you just have it sitting down there?

01:19:26.000 Yeah.

01:19:26.000 Like, security at the front desk.

01:19:29.000 But, I mean, the point of bringing it up, like, this stuff is, you know, a couple years away from being...

01:19:35.000 You can put an arm on its back.

01:19:37.000 An arm?

01:19:38.000 That's pretty sweet.

01:19:39.000 What would you do with that arm?

01:19:41.000 Throw rocks at people.

01:19:42.000 Oh yeah, you could spin around real fast and let loose the open doors.

01:19:46.000 Spin it around and sling it at you.

01:19:48.000 Put a sling on the end of the arm.

01:19:53.000 The future is weird, man.

01:19:54.000 You know, the...

01:19:56.000 Robotics are significantly further along than people realize.

01:20:01.000 We're all pretty plugged into things like this, to technology and stuff like that, and this is a surprise to most people.

01:20:07.000 Oh, dude, we could put the human robot in Ian's seat.

01:20:10.000 There you go.

01:20:10.000 That'd be great.

01:20:11.000 Get a wig for it? 0.99

01:20:12.000 And just what we'll do is we'll load in all the episodes of IRL that Ian's been on, and we'll use a large language model to isolate Ian's speech patterns and have it just simulate Ian.

01:20:23.000 What if I could just voice chat through it?

01:20:25.000 Into the microphone from home.

01:20:27.000 That'd be banging. 1.00

01:20:28.000 Nah, it's more demeaning if the robot pretends to be you.

01:20:31.000 That's fine.

01:20:32.000 Just remind people you're an AI. Hey guys, I'm Robot Ian.

01:20:34.000 Yeah.

01:20:35.000 Hey Robot Ian.

01:20:36.000 Have I mentioned graphene yet?

01:20:38.000 Yeah.

01:20:38.000 No!

01:20:39.000 Buy my coffee.

01:20:41.000 Buy my coffee.

01:20:42.000 As long as, if they build an AI of me, you've got to always remind the people that you're an AI version.

01:20:47.000 Because they're going to make AI copies of all of us in the future.

01:20:50.000 Like, they're like, are you going to live forever?

01:20:51.000 I don't know what that means, actually, but my personality will be embedded in this video.

01:20:56.000 The actual robe is the humanoid.

01:20:58.000 But this looks like CGI. No, it's real.

01:21:01.000 Are you sure?

01:21:03.000 I do that exercise.

01:21:04.000 Oh, look at that!

01:21:07.000 Wow!

01:21:07.000 This is CGI, bro.

01:21:09.000 No.

01:21:11.000 There's a part where a human's gonna come in and it's little.

01:21:13.000 It's actually shorter than a human.

01:21:16.000 Maybe that's why it looks fake.

01:21:18.000 Oh, yeah, okay, it looks real now.

01:21:24.000 See, the robots are going to watch these videos and they're going to turn on us.

01:21:27.000 Yeah.

01:21:28.000 Like, oh, no way.

01:21:29.000 Remember this?

01:21:31.000 It'll show, like...

01:21:32.000 No, get out of here. 0.90

01:21:33.000 Okay, hold on.

01:21:33.000 I'm just going to pause real quick.

01:21:34.000 I'm pretty sure if I actually punched that thing full force, it's fallen down.

01:21:38.000 Yeah, I mean...

01:21:39.000 You hope so.

01:21:39.000 You're probably right.

01:21:41.000 He's kind of pulling his punches.

01:21:42.000 Yeah, but...

01:21:44.000 If you do a flying cross into his chest...

01:21:48.000 Look at that, dude! 0.61

01:21:48.000 That is creepy. 0.61

01:21:49.000 He's folding himself up.

01:21:51.000 Yeah.

01:21:52.000 For packaging.

01:21:53.000 Wow!

01:21:55.000 Probably 30 pounds?

01:21:56.000 No.

01:21:56.000 40 pounds?

01:21:57.000 Oh, it's got a weapon!

01:21:59.000 Oh, man!

01:22:00.000 Now that's...

01:22:01.000 Look at that!

01:22:02.000 It's threatening us, so we're going to post out.

01:22:05.000 But I mean, it's not...

01:22:05.000 Bunch of them!

01:22:06.000 What is this supposed to show?

01:22:07.000 Oh, God, an army of robots.

01:22:09.000 It's not very long until you see...

01:22:11.000 I mean, it's going to show you the thing doing some stuff around the house.

01:22:15.000 There you go.

01:22:15.000 Whoa, it just shattered out.

01:22:16.000 Walnut.

01:22:16.000 It's not very long until these things are going to be able to do dishes.

01:22:19.000 Who made the mess?

01:22:20.000 It's going to be like, robot, did you make the mess?

01:22:22.000 Whoa.

01:22:23.000 I'm not programmed to clean it yet.

01:22:25.000 It's cooking.

01:22:27.000 *music* Why is it hitting itself in the finger?

01:22:32.000 I think it's just showing the motions that it can do.

01:22:35.000 Oh, it's soldering, dude.

01:22:37.000 Yeah.

01:22:37.000 Yo, that's wild.

01:22:38.000 Whoa.

01:22:39.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

01:22:40.000 You're talking about, you know, a year.

01:22:44.000 I want to fight that robot.

01:22:45.000 I think you'll win. 0.95

01:22:47.000 I wonder if it can plunge your toilet.

01:22:49.000 It'll probably be able to build microchips before it will be able to unclog a drain. 0.54

01:22:54.000 Can we program it to defend itself and then have a sparring match with a bokken? 1.00

01:22:59.000 I imagine that's only a couple years away.

01:23:01.000 To be honest, I feel like one hard strike with a bokken, that thing would explode. 1.00

01:23:05.000 It would hold pads for you, I bet, though, if you want to practice roundhouse kicks and stuff.

01:23:09.000 Kicks and punches.

01:23:10.000 Dude, that guy punching it was not really punching it.

01:23:13.000 No, he was pulling them.

01:23:13.000 You ever see that video where the woman, she's got the screen protector, and then she grabs the phone and she just bashes it and shatters it, and then she grabs the phone with the screen protector and she lightly taps it to show the screen protector is working?

01:23:23.000 We get it, dude.

01:23:24.000 You're not actually trying to break the screen.

01:23:25.000 I'd like to see Tyson or Jake Paul.

01:23:26.000 Jake Paul should do it.

01:23:27.000 He should get one and train with it.

01:23:29.000 And that would be the biggest publicity stunt where it's holding pads. 0.61

01:23:34.000 I got an idea.

01:23:34.000 We should buy one and then invite Colby Covington to just throw his strongest punch right in its face.

01:23:39.000 Yes. 0.92

01:23:40.000 Boom! 0.99

01:23:41.000 And ask the robot what it thought after.

01:23:43.000 Are they embedded with AI? That's the thing that I was trying to say.

01:23:48.000 The functionality of it is now limited only by how intelligent the AI you put in it is.

01:23:55.000 You can program robots to do all sorts of things.

01:23:59.000 Just computer-aided machining is all robot stuff.

01:24:02.000 And they can be as...

01:24:04.000 Like, incredibly delicate and make tiny, tiny, you know, literally only a couple microns of a cut, right?

01:24:13.000 But that's all programmed by, it's all mapped out.

01:24:18.000 Early.

01:24:19.000 When I was mentioning agentic AI, once you get an artificial intelligence in the robot, when you say, go do the laundry, and it can go into your room, pick up all your clothes, put them in the hamper, whatever isn't already in the hamper,

01:24:35.000 take the hamper into the laundry room, put the clothes into the laundry machine, into the washing machine, put the detergent in, maybe put the fabric softener in, close the top, Set it properly and then turn it on and leave.

01:24:51.000 That's when people will be like, I'll pay $500 a month for that.

01:24:55.000 When you can tell your robot, go to the grocery store and get these things.

01:25:00.000 And then the robot walks out, gets into the Tesla.

01:25:03.000 It has wheels.

01:25:05.000 It can drive itself.

01:25:06.000 You could do that.

01:25:06.000 But if you're talking about the suburbs, it goes out and gets in the car.

01:25:10.000 The car drives to the grocery store, goes inside, buys all the stuff you want.

01:25:17.000 Pays for it because you've given it your credit card.

01:25:20.000 Walks out and then gets in the car and brings it back and then brings the stuff in and loads it into your fridge and stuff.

01:25:28.000 Guys, guys, guys, guys.

01:25:30.000 People will absolutely pay $500.

01:25:31.000 We've got breaking news.

01:25:32.000 So this broke about...

01:25:34.000 A half an hour ago, but there's an update on this.

01:25:35.000 A new wildfire is broken out in Runyon Canyon Park, just north of Hollywood Boulevard.

01:25:41.000 How are these fires?

01:25:42.000 Flames are engulfing 10 acres.

01:25:44.000 They've just issued an evacuation order right now.

01:25:46.000 So this is just within the past few minutes.

01:25:49.000 L.A. Fire Department brush fire sunset fire evacuation order.

01:25:53.000 They say, what does it say?

01:25:55.000 Hollywood Hills West, approximately 10 acres burning between Runyon Canyon and Wattles Park.

01:25:59.000 A mandatory evacuation order is now in place for Laurel Canyon.

01:26:03.000 Bro, I got friends who live up there, man.

01:26:04.000 This is really terrifying stuff.

01:26:07.000 So I hope everybody's okay.

01:26:08.000 I know people who work here have family up there.

01:26:10.000 This is affecting, this is going to affect millions of people.

01:26:14.000 Yep.

01:26:14.000 If you're there, get out.

01:26:16.000 Listen to this dude.

01:26:17.000 Get out.

01:26:18.000 Why are they just, like, spawning, too?

01:26:19.000 Like, the one in Pasadena and the one in...

01:26:21.000 Embers are flying through the air.

01:26:23.000 90-mile-an-hour winds rip the embers up, they land on the ground, and it goes up.

01:26:28.000 LA's also extremely dense.

01:26:30.000 Like, if these flames are going to keep going and they haven't contained anything, like, when will this stop?

01:26:35.000 Like, there needs to be rain.

01:26:37.000 Like, everyone better be praying for some rain.

01:26:39.000 On your right is a new fire.

01:26:41.000 This is the Hollywood Hills.

01:26:43.000 This is a location that we were given, 2350 North Solar Drive that's between Nichols Canyon and Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills.

01:26:52.000 There are a number of homes surrounding that.

01:26:54.000 Chris Christie, are you available to give us some information about this?

01:26:59.000 Very concerning sight here in the Hollywood Hills.

01:27:02.000 We're just west of Nichols Canyon, just north of Hollywood Boulevard, where a major fire has just sparked in the last five minutes.

01:27:09.000 We were over the Pacific Palisades.

01:27:12.000 We saw the glow coming from over the hill.

01:27:14.000 And just in the last couple minutes that it took us to get over here to Hollywood, this thing has exploded in size.

01:27:20.000 You can see northerly winds coming through the canyon here, just west of Nichols, just east of Runyon Canyon.

01:27:25.000 Canyon and you can see this is all very thick fuel that is fueling this brush fire.

01:27:31.000 LA City Fire is aware of this fire.

01:27:34.000 They have immediately called for the 20 closest trucks to respond out here.

01:27:38.000 However, accessing this fire is going to require more of the trucks.

01:27:42.000 They're going to have to get a quick reaction force over here as soon as possible or more likely LA City fire choppers over here as soon as possible depending on what resources But this thing is blowing up before our eyes.

01:27:58.000 That is spreading rapidly.

01:28:00.000 I'm going to try and get some more exact streets here.

01:28:03.000 If you bear with me one second, Lucas, pan over to the right.

01:28:07.000 So that's Runyon Canyon Road to the right there.

01:28:11.000 And if we pull out, pull out all the way so we can just put this into a frame of reference.

01:28:16.000 It's just south of Mulholland Drive.

01:28:17.000 And if we come all the way out, you can see due north of...

01:28:22.000 Bonita Avenue and Vista Street off of Hollywood Boulevard.

01:28:26.000 So we're talking about a mile and a half north of Hollywood Boulevard that is now on fire.

01:28:32.000 It appears to be all brush at this point.

01:28:36.000 Do not see.

01:28:37.000 The closest structure just yet.

01:28:39.000 However, I think there's a house or a group of homes on the north side, on the other side of this fire towards Mulholland.

01:28:47.000 We can't see it through the smoke right now, but this appears to be majority brush that is fueling this right now.

01:28:55.000 Chris, I've hiked Runyon Canyon so many times.

01:28:58.000 I know Mark surely has as well.

01:29:00.000 And you mentioned the streets, Bonita and Vista.

01:29:02.000 Those are all the streets that I take to get to Runyon Canyon.

01:29:06.000 I'm concerned there's a lot of homes there, a lot of apartments.

01:29:09.000 And our fire resources are already stretched so thin.

01:29:14.000 Are you seeing any evidence of any response yet?

01:29:16.000 I know it is dark, and I know we're just starting to follow it.

01:29:20.000 Wow, man.

01:29:22.000 I know a bunch of people who live right by there.

01:29:23.000 That's right by Hollywood and Highland.

01:29:25.000 Oh, yeah.

01:29:26.000 That's like the spot.

01:29:28.000 Yep.

01:29:29.000 That's like, what, ten blocks west of Highland?

01:29:32.000 It's like five blocks west of La Brea.

01:29:35.000 No, no, La Brea is a different area.

01:29:36.000 No, bro.

01:29:37.000 That's La Brea. 0.99

01:29:38.000 Yeah, it's Hollywood and La Brea, like just northwest.

01:29:39.000 Oh, I thought you were talking about La Brea Tar Pits.

01:29:42.000 Runyon's so legit.

01:29:43.000 I gotta do the pray for rain thing.

01:29:45.000 I gotta go into my weird, control the weather.

01:29:48.000 Make it rainy in.

01:29:48.000 Okay.

01:29:49.000 It's near the Chinese theater.

01:29:50.000 Yep.

01:29:51.000 I imagine if it burns down to the road, it's going to stop.

01:29:54.000 No.

01:29:55.000 All those trees, all those buildings.

01:29:59.000 There's a video of one of these buildings burning and you're looking at metal on fire.

01:30:04.000 And I'm sitting there being like, the metal frames are burning.

01:30:06.000 What is burning off that?

01:30:08.000 Is it magnesium or something?

01:30:10.000 That's crazy.

01:30:11.000 So you think that was just a little ember that flew and then caught on fire?

01:30:14.000 Yeah, that's usually what happens.

01:30:16.000 I mean, the 90 miles per hour.

01:30:20.000 There was a fire in Jersey.

01:30:23.000 I lived in Union City, New Jersey for a while.

01:30:26.000 And a fire.

01:30:26.000 One building.

01:30:27.000 And then two blocks away, a church caught on fire.

01:30:30.000 Because embers from the house went up into the air and then fell down and started the church on fire.

01:30:36.000 Yup.

01:30:36.000 Two blocks away and there's only two structures that were affected by it.

01:30:39.000 Absolutely insane.

01:30:40.000 I did it during the hurricane.

01:30:41.000 I focused energy to calm the wind.

01:30:43.000 Like, you have a magnetic field.

01:30:45.000 Your body has one.

01:30:46.000 And so does the earth.

01:30:47.000 And lightning is magnetic.

01:30:49.000 Heat is, you know, electrons.

01:30:51.000 I don't think you want to go down this rabbit hole.

01:30:54.000 Because that means when the fire started, you did nothing.

01:30:57.000 I did nothing.

01:30:58.000 I've just been enjoying it.

01:30:59.000 I've been playing the bizarre.

01:31:00.000 I've been playing a bunch of video games while the world burns.

01:31:04.000 You hear this?

01:31:04.000 I'm looking at, like, the whiskeys right there.

01:31:08.000 Oh, yeah.

01:31:09.000 The comedy store.

01:31:10.000 Like, all these places that, like, we played.

01:31:12.000 And, like, really, really famous places in Hollywood.

01:31:15.000 It's really close to that stuff.

01:31:17.000 And if it does get down to the roads and stuff, it's not that there's...

01:31:22.000 It's Hollywood.

01:31:23.000 When people talk about Hollywood, it's Hollywood and Highland.

01:31:25.000 That's where the Walk of Fame is.

01:31:26.000 It's where Jimmy Kimmel, I think he's basically right there.

01:31:30.000 He's at the El Capitan, right across the street.

01:31:34.000 So it's not where the big Hollywood sign is.

01:31:38.000 No.

01:31:38.000 But when people are like, I want to go to Hollywood, the Walk of Fame is Hollywood Boulevard.

01:31:42.000 And Hollywood Highland, it's like you've got Ripley's right there, you've got all the restaurants, all the little knick-knack stores.

01:31:47.000 Yeah, it's like 15 blocks away from Runyon, roughly.

01:31:50.000 And then there's the Sunset Strip, just a couple blocks south of Hollywood is Sunset.

01:31:55.000 I mean, I'm not sure the exact area that was destroyed in the Palisades, but if this fire does get down into Hollywood, into the actual populated areas to where the streets are, you could see a lot of damage really, really fast.

01:32:11.000 They've got to be getting cars, I would imagine.

01:32:13.000 Now the fire trucks are...

01:32:15.000 On Franklin, on Hollywood.

01:32:17.000 It's in the canyon right now, and there's no roads that can actually lead to it.

01:32:23.000 I don't know how it started, but where it is, you can look at it.

01:32:26.000 It's in the canyon, so if they're going to be able to get trucks to it before it gets out of...

01:32:32.000 I mean, it's already probably out of hand, I guess.

01:32:34.000 Yeah, man, this is...

01:32:35.000 It's bad.

01:32:36.000 This is crazy.

01:32:38.000 Just north of Hollywood Boulevard.

01:32:41.000 It's nuts.

01:32:43.000 The only way it will stop is if it rains or if somehow they figure out how to contain it.

01:32:48.000 What's the weather?

01:32:49.000 Show me.

01:32:50.000 I want to look.

01:32:51.000 Uh, dry.

01:32:53.000 That's it.

01:32:54.000 Not raining.

01:32:55.000 Nothing.

01:32:55.000 Sunny and dry for a week.

01:32:58.000 I swear California's got to be cursed or something.

01:33:01.000 Doomed.

01:33:02.000 It is the government's fault, though.

01:33:05.000 Like, all this stuff, like, fires are natural.

01:33:09.000 And there's a lot of plants and stuff like that that have, over the course of thousands of years, they've evolved to be able to survive this stuff.

01:33:20.000 Because of the humans in this area, they don't want fires, so they do everything they can to put them out.

01:33:27.000 And if you leave the fuel on the ground, it's going to happen.

01:33:30.000 Fires are usually small.

01:33:32.000 Yep, exactly.

01:33:33.000 When we stop them...

01:33:34.000 And the tinder builds up.

01:33:35.000 You're creating a recipe for it.

01:33:36.000 You're creating a literal tinderbox.

01:33:38.000 You've got to manage that.

01:33:39.000 You've got to go to the forest floor sweeping.

01:33:41.000 And Trump called them out over this.

01:33:42.000 They wouldn't do it.

01:33:42.000 This was years ago.

01:33:44.000 It's like 2019. Trump has this thread where he's like, they're not doing the floor management.

01:33:48.000 They make fun of him for it.

01:33:50.000 So at a certain point, it's just like, what can you do?

01:33:54.000 Too late to play defense when they should have been playing offense.

01:33:56.000 What do you do for people who entertain and enjoy a life that leads to these things and then scream and beg for help?

01:34:01.000 Like, obviously we help them, but, like, there's only so much we can do.

01:34:04.000 Yeah, like...

01:34:04.000 They're gonna be recovering for a very, very long time.

01:34:07.000 I mean, Maui, Hawaii, I went there a few months ago, still completely destroyed.

01:34:12.000 Oh, yeah, they're not...

01:34:13.000 Like, nothing.

01:34:14.000 Like, nothing has been built in the main parts.

01:34:17.000 Palisades aren't gonna come back for decades.

01:34:19.000 No.

01:34:20.000 If anything.

01:34:21.000 No, and then...

01:34:21.000 The land is gonna be worth nothing.

01:34:22.000 And then on top of all the restrictions they have just to build stuff, all the permits you have to get inside California, like, cooked.

01:34:28.000 They're done.

01:34:29.000 Wow.

01:34:29.000 For a while.

01:34:31.000 That's crazy.

01:34:32.000 Do you guys think Hollywood's cursed?

01:34:33.000 California's cursed?

01:34:35.000 Oh, well, I think that good men do nothing and California's turned into this.

01:34:38.000 Do you think all this bad, like all this Hollywood corruption, pedophilia stuff is now coming back to like...

01:34:45.000 Hedonistic...

01:34:46.000 I don't think it's supernatural.

01:34:48.000 I think that when you...

01:34:48.000 God's coming to chastise them?

01:34:49.000 No, I don't think it's supernatural at all.

01:34:51.000 When you have evil people ripping apart at the foundations for personal benefit, it falls apart.

01:34:56.000 The collapse is inevitable when you have...

01:34:59.000 Like, Sodom and Gomorrah don't need God to smite them.

01:35:03.000 They cannot sustain themselves on their own.

01:35:06.000 Cities of debauchery and degeneracy will fall apart.

01:35:09.000 Also, I think that one of them was built on a sulfur mine, and there, you learn the hard way, if you light a match over a sulfur mine, there's a big explosion, and there goes Gomorrah, or whatever the hell, one of those cities.

01:35:18.000 So you build a city in the desert, and you rely on imports for water.

01:35:23.000 Well, there you go.

01:35:23.000 I guess they had a river.

01:35:24.000 There's just so many things they could have done just years and years ago to...

01:35:28.000 Prevent something to this level.

01:35:30.000 I mean, you can't stop all forest fires, but to this level, there needs to be something that they should have been able to prevent it.

01:35:35.000 Man, this is the downside of...

01:35:37.000 What was that?

01:35:38.000 So there's a lot they could have done.

01:35:39.000 Yeah, the downside of voting for your candidates and having them seeking re-election is that they waste so much time trying to raise money and please people.

01:35:50.000 The upside of authoritarian governments, which is also, I don't like it, is they move very quickly.

01:35:56.000 They can just get...

01:35:57.000 Masses of slaves together, hordes of people, and command them, you're all doing this now.

01:36:02.000 And if that means you're all digging out the sticks out of the woods in, you know, Southwest California, they're going to be doing it.

01:36:08.000 They're going to be building pyramids.

01:36:09.000 They're going to be doing it.

01:36:10.000 California has Apple.

01:36:12.000 They've got IBM. They have plenty of tax base in that state to be able to have enough funds to deal with this.

01:36:20.000 They have Hollywood and they have Silicon Valley.

01:36:23.000 There is ample money.

01:36:25.000 In taxes that California takes in, they're the ninth largest or something like the ninth largest or fifth largest economy on Earth.

01:36:34.000 Bigger than like 185 of the countries on Earth.

01:36:40.000 So it's not a matter of funding or whether or not...

01:36:44.000 And they tax more than any other state in the United States.

01:36:46.000 Exactly.

01:36:46.000 So it's not a matter of they can't afford it.

01:36:48.000 They absolutely can afford it.

01:36:50.000 They have the tax base that they need.

01:36:52.000 It's a lack of will.

01:36:54.000 They don't want to.

01:36:55.000 Or it's force of will.

01:36:58.000 They want the state to fall apart.

01:37:00.000 Well, I mean, that could be.

01:37:01.000 But people have been leaving in droves.

01:37:03.000 This is only going to drive more people out.

01:37:05.000 People that have money that are like, you know, Calabasas.

01:37:08.000 I have a friend that I just texted.

01:37:09.000 He lives in Calabasas.

01:37:10.000 And I was like, yo, how you doing?

01:37:12.000 He's like, things are okay for now.

01:37:14.000 But like, I mean, if you're...

01:37:17.000 If you were up in Calabasas, right, and you're seeing this stuff happening 45 minutes away, 30 minutes away from your house, why are you going to stay?

01:37:26.000 There's a lot of people that are just going to be like, I'm getting out of here, man.

01:37:29.000 I'll sell my house, and they might sell it for a loss.

01:37:32.000 They probably have multiple other homes, but getting out of there is probably going to be on the radar of a lot more people because that's already been happening.

01:37:42.000 This kind of tragedy, this kind of disaster that could have been prevented, there are smart people in those houses that are going to be like, man, it's time to beat it because I can't insure my home anymore.

01:37:53.000 We didn't get into the story, but we'll talk about this in the members only when someone tweeted, James Woods' home is burning, it's karma.

01:38:01.000 Keith Olbermann was basically saying good and cheering for this.

01:38:05.000 I'm telling you, these people are evil. 0.82

01:38:56.000 Eric Branson says this is not PG&E territory.

01:38:58.000 This is L-A-D-W-P or SoCal Edison.

01:39:02.000 Wow.

01:39:03.000 L-A-D-W-P or SoCal Edison.

01:39:07.000 Yeah, Department of Water and Power, I think.

01:39:08.000 Is that what it is?

01:39:08.000 Yeah, it sounds like it.

01:39:10.000 Brad Peters says, with everything that's been happening in California for the last decade, I can only conclude these fires are acts of God, praying for the victims regardless.

01:39:18.000 You know what, man?

01:39:19.000 I do understand why you would feel that way, but I genuinely think there's a strong possibility that people like Newsom know that what they're doing will result in catastrophe, and they want it to happen.

01:39:30.000 Remember when prices were collapsing in New York?

01:39:32.000 Bill de Blasio said he was going to buy up buildings for pennies on the dollar to convert them into public buildings, public housing.

01:39:39.000 These communist Democrat types, I'm not saying all Democrats are communists, I'm saying the communists that are masquerading as good American politicians.

01:39:46.000 Bill de Blasio is a commie.

01:39:47.000 Absolutely is.

01:39:48.000 They want to burn down the system and then buy the land for pennies.

01:39:52.000 Now the palace side is worthless.

01:39:55.000 And Newsom does not care about his people.

01:39:57.000 No.

01:39:57.000 What does he do?

01:40:00.000 Makes a lot of money by funneling money from other organizations that help him buy $5 million houses in San Francisco.

01:40:06.000 Dang.

01:40:07.000 All right.

01:40:09.000 Let's see.

01:40:10.000 Chirst says, Tim, don't let up on the mayor.

01:40:12.000 The left went after Ted Cruz during the freeze in Texas because he was on vacation.

01:40:15.000 Yeah, but I think the freeze happened and then he went on vacation, right?

01:40:19.000 Yeah, and also Ted Cruz is a senator.

01:40:21.000 He's not the mayor or the governor.

01:40:22.000 Like, what's a senator supposed to do?

01:40:24.000 Like, a senator doesn't have any power inside of Texas.

01:40:27.000 A senator represents Texas in Washington, D.C. The freeze didn't happen in Washington, D.C. So it was just...

01:40:35.000 It was only, you know, for looks that they went after Ted Kennedy.

01:40:42.000 The actual stuff that's going on...

01:40:43.000 Yeah, Ted Cruz.

01:40:44.000 I'm sorry.

01:40:45.000 But the actual stuff that's going on in California, like the mayor and the governor could have done something about this.

01:40:52.000 Stevie Bebe says, Did Bad Religion have it right 20 years ago with Los Angeles's Burning?

01:40:56.000 Maybe, but I will give a shout out to Bad Religion for what is one of the best songs ever, You.

01:41:01.000 You guys know that one?

01:41:02.000 No.

01:41:02.000 Those lyrics are epic.

01:41:04.000 I should.

01:41:04.000 Wasn't Tony Hawk 2's soundtrack?

01:41:05.000 Yeah, but I absolutely love the writing in that song.

01:41:08.000 There's a place where everyone can be right.

01:41:11.000 Even though you remain determined to be opposed.

01:41:13.000 Admittance requires no qualifications.

01:41:15.000 It's where everyone has been and where everybody goes.

01:41:18.000 So please try not to be impatient, for we all hate standing in line.

01:41:22.000 But when the farm is good and bought, you'll be there without a thought. 0.98

01:41:24.000 Eternity, my friend, is a long fucking time. 0.98

01:41:26.000 Ooh, I like that. 0.99

01:41:26.000 It's great. 0.99

01:41:27.000 It's brilliant.

01:41:27.000 The place where everyone can be right.

01:41:30.000 All one.

01:41:31.000 All alone.

01:41:32.000 As Duncan Trussell said, the word alone is like the word all one.

01:41:35.000 It's like where everything is all...

01:41:37.000 Did you guys know that the mayor of Los Angeles cut the fire department by 17.6 million dollars?

01:41:45.000 Yes.

01:41:45.000 I didn't know that.

01:41:46.000 And they sent excess supplies to Ukraine.

01:41:49.000 Unbelievable.

01:41:50.000 Oh, that's...

01:41:51.000 Yup! 0.99

01:41:52.000 Man, I wish we got into all of this.

01:41:54.000 Like, there's just so much.

01:41:55.000 It's making me want to borrow Serge's cast for tonight.

01:41:57.000 We walk in and Tim's like, man, there's no news tonight.

01:41:59.000 Well, no, no, I was saying the only news is the wildfire.

01:42:02.000 So, everybody, hear me now.

01:42:05.000 YouTube.com slash TimCast.

01:42:07.000 So, my first channel on YouTube, I did a video essay every day at 4pm.

01:42:11.000 And then the morning show, which is Timcast News, is just like press go, press record, and then talk about the news.

01:42:18.000 The YouTube.com slash Timcast videos at 4 p.m. are more like essays where we bring up all this evidence and everything.

01:42:23.000 We're bringing it back.

01:42:25.000 Today we launched the first one.

01:42:26.000 It was a little bit late.

01:42:27.000 It went up at 5.

01:42:27.000 We're going to bring them up at 4 p.m. today.

01:42:28.000 Today, we went over why the fact checkers were biased, showing actual articles and proof and studies proving that the Facebook fact checkers were biased and targeting conservatives.

01:42:38.000 Tomorrow, we're doing a deep dive on the wildfires and how it is quite literally the fault of Democrat politicians.

01:42:44.000 Trump warned them they gave away equipment to Ukraine.

01:42:46.000 They cut the budget.

01:42:47.000 They refused to hire firefighters because they wanted less white men.

01:42:50.000 This is exactly what we've all been talking about for so long.

01:42:54.000 Sarnovich had a great tweet, I think it was Sarnovich, where he said, DEI is literally killing people.

01:42:59.000 Insane.

01:43:00.000 So tomorrow, youtube.com slash Timcast, 4pm.

01:43:03.000 The show is coming back.

01:43:05.000 We're bringing back the deep dive essays.

01:43:07.000 How's it work?

01:43:07.000 Is it just you on a camera or do you have a team?

01:43:09.000 Oh, cool.

01:43:09.000 Do you have people sourcing info with you?

01:43:12.000 So when I first did the show, it was just me.

01:43:13.000 I did everything.

01:43:14.000 But now we have a great team.

01:43:15.000 And so Lisa Reynolds, who has guest hosted Culture Award.

01:43:19.000 Yeah, she does booking for the show. 1.00

01:43:20.000 She's super smart, well-connected.

01:43:22.000 She's helping produce the underlying facts and everything.

01:43:25.000 So that way I can do the morning show and then also produce the essay breakdown.

01:43:30.000 Oh, that's cool.

01:43:31.000 So the way we did it today was she basically wrote a preliminary script and then I just – I read – so it's a mix of me reading but also going off the cuff.

01:43:39.000 And adding things to it.

01:43:41.000 So it's like co-written by us.

01:43:43.000 She launches it.

01:43:44.000 I read it.

01:43:44.000 I add a few stories to it.

01:43:46.000 And then we're getting an editor who's going to put it all together so that we can get out.

01:43:49.000 It was 18 and a half minutes.

01:43:51.000 The goal is to get a deep dive on all of these big stories with facts and sources.

01:43:55.000 So it's more than just like on my morning show, I kind of just say, here's how I feel about things.

01:43:59.000 What I used to have on the Timcast was basically like, here's what happened with the fact checkers.

01:44:04.000 Here's what Zuckerberg said.

01:44:06.000 Here's what the news said.

01:44:07.000 The fact checkers are claiming.

01:44:08.000 That they're not biased.

01:44:10.000 Here's proof from Duke University and like the Missouri University Public Affairs Department proving bias.

01:44:15.000 Here's all sides proving bias.

01:44:17.000 Here's the meter.

01:44:17.000 Here's the images.

01:44:18.000 Here's the evidence.

01:44:19.000 And here's their statement.

01:44:20.000 So that way it's much less opinion and much more deep dive fact on these issues.

01:44:25.000 That's awesome.

01:44:25.000 I like seeing things side by side.

01:44:27.000 Like the lie and then the contradiction right literally next to each other on the screen.

01:44:32.000 Oh, that's one of the things that we did at the end of the episode was I showed the two Politico articles.

01:44:36.000 One that says...

01:44:38.000 That Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election to help Hillary.

01:44:40.000 And then the other Politico article, same company, saying the claim that Ukraine interfered was Russian disinformation.

01:44:47.000 Both stories considered true and contradictory.

01:44:49.000 And I'm like, this is it.

01:44:51.000 So right now, Lisa's working on pulling up all of that info, a lot of stuff we talked about.

01:44:55.000 But we're going to pull up the videos, we're going to pull the documents, and we're going to show exactly when they said no more white firefighters.

01:45:00.000 When they said sending Ukraine, all the stuff.

01:45:03.000 Exactly when they said we're not going to divert water to save the smelt.

01:45:06.000 All of that stuff, breaking it down.

01:45:07.000 And our hope is that we'll get a video up every single day of the week.

01:45:10.000 Sunday to Sunday, no stopping.

01:45:12.000 Impressive.

01:45:12.000 Yeah, because...

01:45:14.000 I used to do it on my own.

01:45:15.000 Now we're going to have a team, so I'll be able to basically record them Monday through Friday, and then we'll get extra ones done throughout the week that we can put up on the weekends that are more evergreen.

01:45:24.000 Use that chat GPT to organize.

01:45:28.000 GPT's all fake, dude.

01:45:29.000 Yeah, it's pretty surface level.

01:45:31.000 It's worse than that.

01:45:33.000 And look, honestly, I like Grok and I like GPT, but...

01:45:37.000 People went to Grok and said, did Tim Cass sell to The Daily Wire?

01:45:40.000 And it was like, yes.

01:45:40.000 And it was just like literally a rumor that wasn't true.

01:45:43.000 But Grok, he didn't.

01:45:44.000 Did he sell?

01:45:45.000 No.

01:45:46.000 Right.

01:45:47.000 And then it would be like, he didn't.

01:45:48.000 And you'd be like, but you said he did.

01:45:49.000 It's like, I must have been wrong.

01:45:50.000 And it's like, okay.

01:45:51.000 Sorry to interrupt you.

01:45:52.000 Is there a better one than GPT and Grok yet?

01:45:55.000 Have you noticed anything better?

01:45:56.000 They're both good at different things.

01:45:58.000 Yeah.

01:45:58.000 Let's read some more Super Chats.

01:46:00.000 We've got this from Samuel Arriton.

01:46:02.000 Says, the entire West Coast restricts timber harvesting, doesn't brush roads or make enough slash burns, doesn't do enough backburns, won't add fire breaks, allows dead and down to build up over decades, and then blames the climate.

01:46:15.000 We lose jobs in forests.

01:46:17.000 Hear, hear.

01:46:18.000 Sounds like a forester.

01:46:19.000 They were talking about in Fox News that there's downed trees and they leave them.

01:46:22.000 Ugh.

01:46:22.000 You've got to remove them.

01:46:23.000 Those things burn.

01:46:24.000 Yep.

01:46:25.000 Nuts, man.

01:46:26.000 They don't care.

01:46:27.000 Especially in California where they dry out so fast because it's such a dry climate. 0.73

01:46:34.000 It is so ridiculous to leave that stuff.

01:46:37.000 It's so dangerous. 0.87

01:46:38.000 Clearly.

01:46:39.000 Yeah.

01:46:41.000 Alright, what have we here?

01:46:43.000 common sense fishing says i live in california central valley a lot of the issues with the delta farming and sport fishing reservoirs recreation camping power creation via dams etc better question is why build megacity in a desert la already steals all of california's water here here yeah william mulholland was one of the guy that uh redirected all that water from the owens river valley in the early 1900s to help create They named Mulholland Drive after the guy.

01:47:08.000 Helped create Los Angeles and screwed over a bunch of farmers to do it.

01:47:12.000 Wow.

01:47:13.000 We got Riley Butts. 1.00

01:47:14.000 He says, I will accept Canada being adopted by America if Mexico gets California.

01:47:18.000 If there were 51 countries who are reliant on the U.S. for their own independence, they get two votes in the Senate and they get approximately 350 million people, 560 electoral votes.

01:47:28.000 Fair.

01:47:29.000 I don't know.

01:47:30.000 If we brought Canada, it wouldn't be the 51st state.

01:47:32.000 It would be a collection of states.

01:47:33.000 Yes.

01:47:34.000 And so you'd add a bunch of red states, but it still is dominated by liberals.

01:47:38.000 Yeah, probably annex state by state if we're going to take.

01:47:41.000 Take.

01:47:41.000 If the country wanted to join us.

01:47:43.000 We'll keep the red ones in Canada. 0.99

01:47:46.000 Could they just make them all territories and then not have them?

01:47:49.000 That's too respectful.

01:47:50.000 I'd say we make them colonies subjugated by the American empire. 0.95

01:47:54.000 We need to negotiate with Emperor Charles because he's the king of Canada right now.

01:47:58.000 The monarchy of Canada.

01:47:59.000 So we'll have to dislodge that somehow.

01:48:02.000 Oh, it's wild how old the queen was. 1.00

01:48:05.000 So, like, now King Charles is the king, but he's also basically got, like, a year left to live.

01:48:09.000 And then Harry?

01:48:11.000 Harry?

01:48:12.000 No, he was out, isn't he?

01:48:13.000 No, it's his brother, William.

01:48:14.000 Prince William.

01:48:15.000 He's, like, 30 or 35. No, he's probably pushing 50, yeah.

01:48:20.000 He's younger than me, I think.

01:48:21.000 I don't think so.

01:48:22.000 Anyway, that guy.

01:48:23.000 I talked to a lady in Canada about becoming the 51st state, and I was like, do you think they'd be able to stand in the United States?

01:48:28.000 She's like, well, you remember what happened to the White House?

01:48:30.000 Remember what happened to the White House?

01:48:32.000 We know where it's at.

01:48:33.000 We know where the White House is at.

01:48:34.000 My bad, he's 42. What does she mean by that?

01:48:37.000 I guess at one point the Canadians came down and burned down the White House.

01:48:41.000 It was British.

01:48:42.000 We went to Montreal. 0.83

01:48:44.000 She was also a witch. 0.93

01:48:45.000 Oh, okay. 1.00

01:48:46.000 We were about to conquer Montreal and then they burned down the White House and we were like, God crap.

01:48:50.000 But then in the Mexican-American War, I think it was, we actually won and seized half of Mexico, and then Polk was like, I don't want it. 0.65

01:48:56.000 And the American people actually wanted to keep it, and they were like, yo!

01:49:00.000 They were pissed.

01:49:01.000 Is it because he couldn't defend it?

01:49:02.000 No, I don't know.

01:49:03.000 I don't get why people are mad about us, like, wanting to expand.

01:49:05.000 I think it'd be pretty cool if we expanded.

01:49:07.000 It's funny because the same people who are like, we shouldn't take Greenland, are like, we should conquer Ukraine and crush Russia! 0.79

01:49:13.000 I'm like, uh, let's not go to war.

01:49:16.000 Did you guys see, um, Zelensky interviewed by, uh, Lex Friedman?

01:49:21.000 Really cool, actually.

01:49:22.000 Historic.

01:49:22.000 I didn't watch the whole interview.

01:49:24.000 I've watched, like, 20 minutes, 15 minutes.

01:49:25.000 I heard Friedman cooked him.

01:49:26.000 Did he?

01:49:27.000 I don't know.

01:49:27.000 Held his feet to the fire?

01:49:28.000 I heard that.

01:49:29.000 I didn't watch it.

01:49:29.000 It's actually very good.

01:49:31.000 And we're living in a cool time where we literally have a war going on and that president is giving a three-hour podcast.

01:49:37.000 As well.

01:49:38.000 Super legit.

01:49:39.000 And Lex did it in Ukraine, Russian, and English.

01:49:42.000 They spoke between the three.

01:49:44.000 And he had some AI that made the voices sound literally exactly the same for when it switched and whatnot.

01:49:48.000 Except it was very robotic.

01:49:49.000 When Lex talked, it was very...

01:49:51.000 That's Lex!

01:49:52.000 Yeah, but it's also...

01:49:53.000 It was awesome.

01:49:55.000 A little bit more than normal.

01:49:56.000 He criticized the AI. He was like, it didn't capture the way we felt when we were talking.

01:50:00.000 But it's effective enough, I guess.

01:50:02.000 Lex, we know you don't feel.

01:50:04.000 All the Ukrainians were so mad at Lex Romin for wanting to do the interview. 0.66

01:50:06.000 Yeah, they're very sensitive.

01:50:23.000 sad.

01:50:24.000 What was the video?

01:50:25.000 Well I did a full documentary on it and then I also did a video I walked around Kyiv and I showed like these nice parts of Kyiv and I was like this is where your taxes are going and there's like BMWs and Teslas and it and like the Ferris wheel.

01:50:37.000 And people got really mad.

01:50:39.000 What time of year did you go?

01:50:40.000 Uh, last...

01:50:41.000 Like, four or five months ago.

01:50:44.000 Oh, okay.

01:50:44.000 So, like, fall.

01:50:45.000 Yeah.

01:50:46.000 And, I mean, it's really, really sad.

01:50:48.000 You went to My Dan?

01:50:49.000 No, I just went to Kiev, Boucha.

01:50:52.000 Yeah, My Dan is in Kiev.

01:50:53.000 Yeah, probably.

01:50:54.000 Like, I can't remember all the names.

01:50:55.000 It's like, you know, that big glass slide?

01:50:57.000 The mall where it's, like, they've got that big...

01:50:58.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:50:59.000 I went down there, I'm pretty sure.

01:51:00.000 Some dudes tried to slide down it. 1.00

01:51:03.000 And they, like, shattered their spines.

01:51:04.000 What the f...

01:51:05.000 Yeah, it's like a mall in Maidan Square in Kiev, and it's like this steep glass, and there's a video of some dudes like, we're gonna slide down it, and then you hear it.

01:51:15.000 You hear the crunch, and they're like, what are you thinking, dude?

01:51:19.000 It was like three stories.

01:51:20.000 Whoa.

01:51:21.000 Like straight down?

01:51:22.000 Yeah, let me see.

01:51:23.000 I'll play to the members only.

01:51:26.000 Keep was an interesting place, and you'd think people would be very skeptical about talking about the war, but...

01:51:32.000 Oh yeah, I found it.

01:51:35.000 Were they just exhausted on the war in Kyiv?

01:51:37.000 Yeah, and it's sad because there'd be eight girls and one guy.

01:51:41.000 All the young men my age are at war.

01:51:44.000 And so I thought it was actually cool in that Lex Freeman interview when Zelensky's talking like, yes, we will work on something with Trump.

01:51:52.000 Because, I mean, there's going to get to a point where Russia's going to have no more middle-aged men or teenagers to go out and fight. 0.51

01:51:59.000 And, I mean, Ukraine's already...

01:52:01.000 They're already pulling in women. 1.00

01:52:03.000 Yeah.

01:52:04.000 And 50-year-olds.

01:52:04.000 I mean, the only people, like, I obviously saw their teenagers and whatnot, but there's also so many people my age walking around with, like, one leg.

01:52:12.000 Wow.

01:52:13.000 Well, Russia's bringing in North Koreans, and they're bringing in Houthis. 1.00

01:52:17.000 Are they bringing in Houthis, too? 0.97

01:52:19.000 Fact check me on that one.

01:52:20.000 I'm pretty sure I thought they were bringing in Houthis, but I could be wrong about that.

01:52:24.000 Where are they from?

01:52:25.000 Yemen.

01:52:26.000 Yemen.

01:52:26.000 Oh.

01:52:28.000 Yeah.

01:52:29.000 Let me get a fact check on that one.

01:52:30.000 Checking right now.

01:52:32.000 Something also interesting about the people in Ukraine.

01:52:35.000 Yep.

01:52:37.000 Russia recruits Yemeni mercenaries to fight in Ukraine.

01:52:40.000 Oh.

01:52:41.000 Russia reportedly used Yemeni fighters recruited through a company linked to the Houthi rebels to fight in Ukraine.

01:52:46.000 Wild dude.

01:52:49.000 Oh, I was saying like...

01:52:51.000 Oh, they were...

01:52:52.000 According to multiple reports, Yemeni men were lured to Russia with promises of a lucrative job and Russian citizenship, only to be coerced into signing military contracts they could not read and sent to fight on the front lines in Ukraine.

01:53:03.000 Sick!

01:53:04.000 Wow, that is rough. 1.00

01:53:07.000 Never trust the Russians. 1.00

01:53:08.000 Man, you knew Germany was really losing the war when Hitler started drafting 64-year-olds.

01:53:13.000 I think he raised the draft age up to 64. It was like 14-year-olds.

01:53:17.000 I don't know if it was that.

01:53:18.000 I'm pretty sure it was super, super young and 64-year-old.

01:53:22.000 But that was like when the Russians were entering Germany and the Allied forces were entering Western France and stuff.

01:53:29.000 Let's grab this one again.

01:53:30.000 Mike ZeroSource says, Tim, did you catch Benny Johnson's videos about homeless people starting fires all over L.A.? I didn't, but we did mention that the other night.

01:53:36.000 We had a story from only a week ago.

01:53:39.000 In Bakersfield, in California, homeless people were setting record amounts of fires.

01:53:43.000 Here we are.

01:53:45.000 I kind of feel like it's very probable that homeless people started these fires.

01:53:49.000 And they got propane tanks, too.

01:53:51.000 When you go into these homeless encampments, a lot of these people have propane tanks.

01:53:55.000 And they just start fires out in the street.

01:53:57.000 Okay, conspiracy theory.

01:53:59.000 Illegally entered the country.

01:54:01.000 Militant age men from some foreign hostile country. 0.83

01:54:04.000 Maybe they were even Russian.

01:54:05.000 Who knows?

01:54:06.000 They colluded to light a bunch of fires over the course of two days in Los Angeles when it's dry.

01:54:12.000 And they wanted it in Runyon.

01:54:13.000 I mean, the economic damage is tremendous.

01:54:16.000 Huge.

01:54:16.000 And they don't have to do anything.

01:54:17.000 They just light the spark and walk away.

01:54:19.000 It's crazy.

01:54:20.000 Well, to be fair, like, the humidity is at.78, like, record low humidity or something.

01:54:26.000 What was that?

01:54:29.000 And we got Karen Bass, or what are you talking about?

01:54:35.000 We got multiple wildfires, that?

01:54:39.000 Aerial footage of Los Angeles?

01:54:41.000 Let's pull it up.

01:54:43.000 Oh, good.

01:54:44.000 Wow.

01:54:47.000 Wow, man.

01:54:48.000 It's spreading.

01:54:49.000 Are those little ones, are those also fires right there?

01:54:52.000 Yeah.

01:54:53.000 Yeah.

01:54:55.000 Can't hear you, bro.

01:54:57.000 He's saying it's 90 mile an hour winds in search of sand.

01:55:00.000 What is that, like high up or like down near the ground?

01:55:03.000 They're flying in a plane.

01:55:04.000 No, no, I mean the winds.

01:55:05.000 Are the winds 90 mile an hour winds high up?

01:55:07.000 Oh, it's on the ground.

01:55:07.000 It's blowing the fire.

01:55:09.000 And the fire's contributing to the speed of the wind because of the heat?

01:55:13.000 No.

01:55:13.000 You're sure?

01:55:14.000 Yes.

01:55:15.000 Because it was doing that in the firestorms in Germany.

01:55:18.000 I mean, nuclear bombs will cause massive gusts of wind.

01:55:21.000 The Santa Ana winds, they're an annual thing.

01:55:23.000 It's crazy windy this time of year out there.

01:55:26.000 100 mile an hour in Altadena, or in La Cunada, that's crazy, man.

01:55:31.000 I got a lot of friends who live down there.

01:55:33.000 Yeah.

01:55:34.000 It's like a hurricane.

01:55:35.000 100 mile an hour was a hurricane.

01:55:36.000 That's right, it is.

01:55:36.000 They're calling it hurricane force winds.

01:55:38.000 Yeah.

01:55:39.000 And it's crazy because, you know, I lived in L.A. for a couple years, and so...

01:55:44.000 Like, Hollywood is not nice.

01:55:46.000 People should understand.

01:55:47.000 You know?

01:55:47.000 Like, broke people like to live in and around Hollywood.

01:55:50.000 Yep.

01:55:50.000 Palisades is wealthy.

01:55:52.000 And you're not...

01:55:53.000 I think Santa Monica is rent-controlled, so I knew a lot of young people who had, like, rent-controlled apartments.

01:55:57.000 That's nice.

01:55:58.000 Beautiful area.

01:55:59.000 Venice is...

01:55:59.000 I lived in Venice, just south of Santa Monica.

01:56:02.000 Kind of scummy, but super nice.

01:56:04.000 Venice is super scummy. 0.95

01:56:05.000 Homeless people. 1.00

01:56:06.000 Yeah.

01:56:06.000 I lived there when they made it law that the homeless people could no longer sleep on the beach in their campers.

01:56:11.000 Yeah.

01:56:11.000 And they'd pull them all out.

01:56:12.000 When was that?

01:56:13.000 Like, 2010. Really?

01:56:16.000 Yeah.

01:56:17.000 That's when I was there on then, and everybody was sleeping.

01:56:20.000 Yeah, it was awesome.

01:56:21.000 It was kind of cool that they were in their campers.

01:56:23.000 They had showers.

01:56:24.000 Yeah, they had public showers right there.

01:56:26.000 And it's not like bathing showers, it's beach showers.

01:56:29.000 So it's like, there's like a brick structure with pipes that come out, and it's just totally open to the public.

01:56:34.000 You walk up and press the thing, and it sprays with water.

01:56:36.000 You're not going in a booth or anything like that?

01:56:38.000 I thought it was nice, because I was like, well, if there's going to be homeless people, this is a good place for them to be, but they're just harassing tourists.

01:56:43.000 Oh, dude, the Bloods and the Crips were there every day at the skate park?

01:56:46.000 KTLA, the station might have to evacuate.

01:56:50.000 Whoa.

01:56:51.000 Where's that?

01:56:52.000 In LA. Do you know where it's located, in the city?

01:56:54.000 In Hollywood.

01:56:55.000 Oh, jeez.

01:56:57.000 KTLA. Wow.

01:56:59.000 All right, Citizen7 says, Tim, I spent a few years in Scotland as a preteen, not a single power line in sight.

01:57:04.000 In the sky, everything was underground and the view of the sky was pristine.

01:57:08.000 Yeah.

01:57:09.000 Where was that?

01:57:10.000 In Scotland.

01:57:11.000 Oh, dang.

01:57:12.000 Which, I mean, you know, depending on where it is, it's possible for some things.

01:57:19.000 Okay, let's start getting real quick.

01:57:20.000 Gunface says, California passed a law that says insurers must provide insurance for high-risk areas with price controls.

01:57:26.000 That's why they pulled out of California.

01:57:27.000 Oh, they pulled out of California totally, which makes perfect sense.

01:57:31.000 You know?

01:57:32.000 Oh, dude, we pulled out of California.

01:57:35.000 That's not a joke.

01:57:36.000 Zuckerberg just pulled out of California.

01:57:38.000 Tim Cass does not contract anyone or hire anybody who lives in California because the laws are so insanely oppressive that we just have nothing to do with it.

01:57:46.000 And I think California still tried coming after us for some reason, and we're like, we don't do any business in California at all.

01:57:52.000 None.

01:57:53.000 We did that with mines, too.

01:57:54.000 We had issues with California.

01:57:56.000 It was weird.

01:57:57.000 Zuckerberg just moved the headquarters and now he's moving Facebook headquarters from Palo Alto to Texas.

01:58:04.000 The whole headquarters?

01:58:05.000 Yeah, I think that's what he said.

01:58:06.000 He's moving the headquarters to Texas.

01:58:08.000 I thought he said the moderation team.

01:58:09.000 I think he said the headquarters.

01:58:12.000 Wait, they passed this thing about you can't contract people anymore?

01:58:17.000 It's like after a certain amount of contracted jobs, gigs they do, they have to be given a full-time position?

01:58:23.000 So we just immediately were like, we will no longer work with anyone out of California. 0.99

01:58:26.000 Oh, and the gig economy was flourishing at that time when they made that stupid law. 0.97

01:58:29.000 I think sports, what website was it? 0.98

01:58:31.000 SB Nation was a Vox company and they fired like 200 writers because they were like, dude, we don't have staff writers.

01:58:40.000 People sell us stories and we'll pay them for it.

01:58:43.000 And they're like, no, you got to hire them full time.

01:58:45.000 And it's like, why did they make business so impossible to do there?

01:58:48.000 Because they want to burn it all down.

01:58:50.000 Like, here's the thing.

01:58:51.000 Imagine you make birdhouses right in your garage.

01:58:53.000 And then you come to me and you're like, hey, you want to buy a birdhouse?

01:58:54.000 I'm like, sure.

01:58:55.000 I'm going to buy a birdhouse from you.

01:58:56.000 And California goes, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:58:58.000 You have to hire him as an employee.

01:59:00.000 And you're like, what?

01:59:01.000 I only want a birdhouse.

01:59:03.000 Yeah, well, you're buying a birdhouse once a month.

01:59:05.000 And I'm like, I know.

01:59:06.000 I like birdhouses.

01:59:06.000 And they're like, well, he's an employee now.

01:59:08.000 Okay, sorry, dude.

01:59:09.000 I can't buy birdhouses from you anymore because I'm not hiring you as an employee.

01:59:11.000 And that's basically what they did.

01:59:13.000 And it was funny because the Democrats were the ones who pushed that.

01:59:16.000 The unions did.

01:59:17.000 Because the unions were like, the gig economy is destroying the unions, and then all of these liberals lost their jobs because of it.

01:59:25.000 Sorry!

01:59:25.000 You reap what you sow.

01:59:28.000 Alright, let's grab one more here.

01:59:31.000 Let's see, what do we got?

01:59:34.000 We'll grab this here.

01:59:35.000 What does this say?

01:59:37.000 Alex Lulo says, one thing people forget to notice is that the president talked to us for a lengthy address and we understood him.

01:59:43.000 That's a good point.

01:59:44.000 Am I Biden or Trump?

01:59:45.000 Trump.

01:59:46.000 My friends, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know, and more importantly, if you go to youtube.com slash TimCast, we've got a, I got my morning show, 10am, 1pm, 3pm, 6pm, and now we are relaunching the original TimCast show.

02:00:04.000 That is my original video essays that break down the big stories of the day.

02:00:09.000 And I felt like we needed...

02:00:20.000 You know, doing these video essays with a team and getting more production and an editor on board, I'm like, we can produce a video every day, seven days a week, deep diving on all these issues, and it's more evergreen, and it gets into the root of these cultural issues, and then we'll do the culture war on Friday.

02:00:33.000 So go to youtube.com slash TimCast, subscribe to that channel, and check out the latest video we put up, breaking down Zuckerberg's fact-checking thing, and then tomorrow we're going to deep dive in how the wildfires were literally the fault of Democrats.

02:01:06.000 Nick Shirley on YouTube.

02:01:07.000 I'm going to Greenland on Monday.

02:01:08.000 We're going to go talk to the people in Greenland.

02:01:10.000 What are you going to talk about?

02:01:11.000 About becoming part of America.

02:01:12.000 See what they want to say.

02:01:13.000 Love it.

02:01:14.000 I see what they got to say.

02:01:15.000 Where do you got to fly in from?

02:01:16.000 Canada?

02:01:17.000 Fly to Newfoundland and then fly to Greenland or something?

02:01:19.000 Fly to Iceland and then from Iceland.

02:01:21.000 Iceland!

02:01:22.000 There's only two places you can either go in from Copenhagen or from Iceland.

02:01:25.000 Ah, you're going to spend any time in Iceland?

02:01:27.000 No.

02:01:28.000 I'm just going to spend four days in Greenland, go hang out with the people down there, go talk to them.

02:01:32.000 Give yourself a day in Reykjavik, man.

02:01:33.000 It's fun.

02:01:34.000 Yeah, we'll see what happens.

02:01:34.000 It's going to be interesting.

02:01:35.000 Right on.

02:01:36.000 I mean, I think it'd be a good idea if they became part of the United States.

02:01:38.000 I agree.

02:01:40.000 And I mean, if we can give billions of dollars to...

02:01:42.000 Ukraine, I think we could give a billion dollars to Greenland and each citizen would get around $17,000.

02:01:48.000 I think they'd probably be stoked.

02:01:49.000 You'd do $5 billion and everybody gets a $500,000.

02:01:52.000 Go ahead, Ian.
