00:01:14.000At least we believe they're genuine, showing Trump's aide, Natalie, very affectionately referring to her guardian and protector.
00:01:22.000And it's sparking a, I don't know how you describe it, but it's like, it's not quite a scandal yet in terms of, you know, inappropriate relationship with the president.
00:02:45.000So when we were setting up the show, we went with three.
00:02:49.000And one of them was Tim Pool versus progressives, moderate versus progressives, and Tim Pool won, probably because my name recognition is bigger than the idea of like moderate or whatever.
00:02:58.000But yeah, you're the guy that I ran away from.
00:03:50.000Yeah, the thing is, everyone's accusing me of knowing that it was going to be you.
00:03:54.000But like, there's only so many people who could be when it's a moderate.
00:03:57.000Like when they're selling it, no, when they're selling it like one moderate versus 20 progressives, like the idea isn't going to be like Ezra Klein or some liberal is going to come in here that's like on the center left.
00:04:06.000Like it's always going to be like someone who's self described moderate.
00:04:09.000I mean, I saw, I think you even said to Steven, you liked the idea of being called moderate, even if you don't fully identify as like dead in the center, just because it's like good for your brand and good for advertisement, right?
00:04:32.000So, going on Jubilee, they're going to hear something from me that they don't expect.
00:04:37.000Because if you only watch clips from progressives, you're only hearing conservative positions and you never hear liberal positions.
00:04:44.000But if I go and sit down with a bunch of liberals, I think the best way to exemplify it is when dude at the end said, If we agree so much, why are you here?
00:04:52.000And it's like the real answer is because we don't agree on everything, but we agree on some things.
00:04:57.000I thought the prompts were interesting.
00:04:58.000Maybe we could get into it after we talk about the news and stuff, but we'll just get into it.
00:05:03.000It seemed kind of like, uh, They weren't like super strong positions.
00:05:06.000And I think that was intentional of the brand you're trying to go with, with moderate, was because it was kind of hard and difficult to argue with it.
00:05:14.000If your prompt is like, the Constitution effectively doesn't exist or it's not operational, I forget the specific wording.
00:05:21.000But it's like, we've always had big disagreements on the interpretation of the Constitution.
00:05:25.000So I feel like with you saying, well, liberals say that Trump is violating the Constitution and conservatives don't believe that Democrat presidents follow the Constitution, we could say that about so many eras of American history.
00:05:34.000I just feel like, would the Constitution ever matter?
00:05:37.000So, like when you have the DSA as one third of the Democratic Party and they're saying we want a parliamentary system, no Senate, we're not talking about the Bill of Rights.
00:05:44.000We're talking literally about Article I. Right.
00:05:46.000So, do you think that divide is equivalent with like abolitionists and pro slavery people saying that the Constitution guarantees slavery and human ownership as property?
00:05:55.000Well, I'm reluctant to get into the full debate as the show is starting.
00:06:01.000But I don't want to not answer and just say I think the issue is that I think this was your argument, which is a good argument, that there's always been disagreements on the interpretation of the Constitution.
00:06:11.000My argument more so is that we have a growing faction that outright says there shouldn't be one at all and they won't adhere to it.
00:06:26.000Yes, but amending Article 1 of the Constitution is substantially different from amending the Constitution to include a protection or a function of government.
00:06:33.000I have thoughts on the idea of an amendment.
00:07:11.000And then it's actually a funny point because I wasn't here last Friday.
00:07:16.000And I guess Ian was talking about if a war broke out with China, that the U.S. might put Chinese people in concentration camps or something.
00:09:08.000I want things to always be right between us.
00:09:10.000I also know I've been distracted all week, forgetting to eat throughout the days and even forgetting to sleep and only catching a couple hours at a time.
00:09:16.000I haven't been myself, dwelling on the past and the pain of losing my dad.
00:09:19.000And I started letting the remarks of people who bothered me before get to me.
00:09:28.000Thank you for being my guardian and protector in this life.
00:09:31.000That's what I wanted to use this card for when you saw me at the cash register and once again did what you didn't have to do and gifted me with mementos.
00:10:09.000I have learned so much about myself on this trip.
00:10:11.000I always knew coming home to my roots would be enlightening, but I had no idea how much for the first time in I don't know how long you forced me to unplug.
00:10:18.000We could be out on the course with no machines and even forget what time it was.
00:10:45.000But going after all self analysis, my conclusion I need to reunite my past self with my current into a better version that will make you proud.
00:10:54.000And please, when I fail, will you tell me?
00:10:57.000I'll never forget when you made that promise to me after losing my dad.
00:10:59.000And I know how happy he is right now that I did get to go to Scotland and Ireland because he always wanted for me to modify a classic.
00:11:05.000I could not have parted with you to anyone less worthy.
00:11:09.000And I will add, it is I who is unworthy.
00:11:48.000He's talked about it a lot, especially before he went into politics, but it's always seemed more of a power and status oriented brag than it has been about, oh, yeah, I can't wait to.
00:11:59.000I don't even know if sexual pleasure is something that's Donald Trump's top priority.
00:12:04.000Well, I actually agree because he's old, right?
00:14:27.000But the big issue that people are having is for the longest time, she didn't.
00:14:31.000And as far as like the bone cancer thing, like she talked about that.
00:14:34.000I think she did it at the RNC back in 2020 and for the reelection.
00:14:39.000But, um, That specific treatment that she got was already FDA approved.
00:14:43.000And that was reported by the New Republic.
00:14:45.000She looked more of like a spin, not really like Trump's right to try.
00:14:49.000She delayed completing the standard security clearance, the SF 86 form, for more than a year while working at the White House with close access to the president.
00:14:56.000Concerns from the White House counsel's office, security officials, and others led Trump to intervene.
00:15:00.000That's when he sent her the memo saying, please get it.
00:15:02.000She then completed the paperwork, underwent a background check, and has received clearance in recent months.
00:15:08.000So there's no official date, I suppose.
00:15:10.000But I'm going to let me just throw out a conspiracy theory.
00:15:15.000Trump wrote those letters to himself to make it look like young women desperately love him.
00:16:54.000But, like, look, this is something that the American people have largely decided look, this is something that doesn't make a big difference to us.
00:17:05.000I think that a large part of why that was so normalized was because things weren't as transparent, like without the internet or without constant press.
00:17:12.000I mean, FDR, the people didn't even know he was in a wheelchair because the press kept that silent.
00:17:16.000But I think now, like, probably since George W. Bush, everything's trying to be out in the open.
00:17:22.000Just because it's being out in the open, or trying to be put out in the open, And people on opposing sides will use it against the people that are running.
00:17:30.000So the Republicans would do it to Democrats.
00:20:39.000With in the absence of evidence, the simple solution is Karen Levin had a baby and she wants to be on.
00:20:42.000I had the same ideas with Tulsi Gabbard.
00:20:44.000I thought it seemed more than just she was leaving to be with her husband.
00:20:47.000It felt like her disagreements with Trump about the Iran war forced her out of the administration and that they don't want to say no.
00:20:54.000Well, she leaked information to Congress that completely disrupted the narrative of why we went to Iran in the first place.
00:21:01.000She said in her congressional testimony, we did not have adequate evidence that Iran was building a nuclear weapon, which was a large part of why Trump said we need to go in there.
00:21:19.000I think, so I've spoken with some people.
00:21:21.000Like, look, we know people who work in the Beltway and who work in these spaces from super close, literally in the administration to outside from consulting groups.
00:21:29.000And the rumors that I've heard as of recent is that she was forced out.
00:21:37.000I was told back in February, and everybody watched those heard me say it a million times, but for Mason, I heard that she was going to resign months ago because they're trying to splinter the Trump administration.
00:21:47.000Base to create a spoiler for the Democrats.
00:21:49.000Basically, moderate Democrats who don't like woke but hate Trump.
00:21:54.000They want to create a space where moderates will be like, I'm going to vote for whatever this is.
00:21:58.000So you take the anti, like the left moderate or anti Trump elements in the Trump campaign and create a spoiler campaign with Joe Kent, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massey, and Tulsi Gabbard.
00:22:08.000I was told that she was going to resign.
00:22:38.000They would not vote for Tucker Carlson.
00:22:39.000There are a ton of neocons who went never Trump or voted for Democrats who would absolutely vote for like Thomas Mitchell.
00:22:46.000Tucker still works as like an apparatus of the Republican Party.
00:22:49.000Insofar as he's still glazing JD Vance preparing for that 2028 run, even though JD Vance has been complicit with all of the actions of the Trump admin.
00:22:58.000I mean, he went on Joe Rogan and gave like this vague sense of criticism, but even then he's like, hey, I support the president.
00:23:03.000I'm not going to go against my own administration.
00:23:05.000And it's just funny to me that Tucker's like, Donald Trump has betrayed our base.
00:23:28.000When there were tons of conservatives that left the Republican Party because of Trump specifically, but they didn't change all of their values, they just said Trump is an existential threat.
00:23:36.000So I will vote for a Democrat if it means stopping Trump.
00:23:39.000Tucker Carlson then comes out and says Trump is bad.
00:23:42.000These people then go, hey, Tucker's got some sense in him.
00:23:45.000Then when JD Vance comes in and he sounds vanilla pudding, he might pull in a decent amount of those people back.
00:24:05.000I think that Rubio would do better, but I think that everything that's been shown is them gearing towards JD being the guy.
00:24:13.000Because Marco Rubio, let's say he runs in a primary against JD, he loses, he's completely fucked.
00:24:17.000He has no career left after that, at least running for president again.
00:24:21.000If he wins and he beats out JD, you're going to have people that are pissed off that they didn't go with the plan because JD's supposed to be the next guy.
00:24:28.000I don't think it's advantageous for Marco.
00:24:30.000Calcio currently has Vance at 44 to Rubio's 20.
00:24:33.000I think Rubio could keep his ambitions to run for president and probably be successful at being the nominee in 32.
00:27:44.000I think that there's a lot of skepticism on her ability to win over people.0.94
00:27:49.000But what I will say is her stunts of going down to Georgia and Trump County and helping them that are pissed off at the data centers that are literally polluting their water.0.99
00:27:59.000That's signaling that she is trying to do that, like crossing the bridge.
00:28:02.000But I don't think that she's going to be the person that everyone's gearing for for 2020.
00:28:07.000I think she has a lot of energy, though.
00:28:08.000John Assoff is his height is weirdly debated.
00:28:13.000It's some sources say 5'9, some say 5'11.
00:28:38.000People, because when they do the close ups, when they do the wide, it's hard to figure out size necessarily the way they angle the cameras.
00:28:45.000But if they're next to each other, you can see the podium is smaller.0.88
00:28:48.000They do close ups, which makes her look proportional and it makes them both look proportionally the same.
00:29:17.000Like Claudia Scheinbomb from a distance if they fail because they have a loud, booming voice.
00:29:21.000This is the challenge that AOC will have.1.00
00:29:23.000Any woman running against a man is there's like, and I always say this because feminists get mad at me, but this is literally the feminist position.1.00
00:29:31.000People inherently will be sexist towards a female candidate and just choose a man based on.0.97
00:29:35.000I think that's such like the neoliberal interpretation.
00:29:39.000And why I disagree with a lot of Democrats saying Kamala lost because of that, like America's too racist and sexist to vote for a woman candidate.
00:29:45.000I think that it's absolutely on the issues.
00:29:48.000And her running a campaign that wasn't really geared towards any vision and honestly capitulated a lot to the right.0.98
00:29:54.000She tried to almost run to the right of Donald Trump when it comes to things like military strength, having the most lethal military in the world.
00:30:01.000She kept saying she's going to be the strong woman that makes sure that the global order stays in line.
00:31:35.000Yeah, I think if AOC was going to be the one, we'd start to see a lot more, I guess, in the next couple months, probably after the midterms.
00:32:06.000I wanted to say about the girl from the earlier story before we kind of move away from it, Natalie, that I think I got a lot of empathy for this girl because if she.
00:32:14.000Trump kind of seems to be serving as her father figure in her life, like strong male, paternal figure, and like she lost her father.
00:32:22.000I don't think it's weird how she's acting.
00:32:24.000It's just, it's questionable if you should even put young women in that position, is more.
00:32:30.000It's just weird that you're using your employer, your boss, as that father figure role.
00:32:34.000And, like, clearly, I'm not like I think that she needs a lot of therapy, obviously, because she has a lot of trauma in her life.
00:32:41.000But I just don't think it's helpful for the situation for that type of workplace that your boss, the person that your livelihood is dependent on, you're also viewing as this father figure with all of your heart.
00:32:53.000It's like a dangerous part of the job itself because if her obsession for him as a father figure outweighs her duty to do the job, that could become a real problem.
00:33:03.000But I think Donald Trump likes that, which is more of a, I think the biggest part of the story is why does Donald Trump need these sycophants around him more so than in the US?
00:33:10.000For the same reason he needs his name in gigantic gold letters on buildings all over the world.
00:33:16.000And the bit is like when he was a little kid and he walked into, like his dad's in the study reading the paper, and he's a little boy and he walks and he goes, Daddy, look, I solved the puzzle.
00:34:47.000I bring this up because I wonder if what Natalie is doing is actually just advancing her career.
00:34:51.000She knows that when she says to Trump, I love you with all my heart, and you're the great, or not, I love you, but with all my heart, you're such a good person.
00:35:25.000People being like, you know, like buttering up your boss.
00:35:28.000I mean, I know that's why bargaining is really important.
00:35:30.000With companies, I used to be a cooker, and then I realized, oh, if I befriend the owner, I can immediately come at the top of the chain of the company.
00:35:42.000Maybe she was just like, hey, hold on, hold on.0.50
00:35:44.000The entire like media establishment and DC establishment was basically kissing Barack Obama's ass.
00:35:53.000For eight years, Chris, uh, what's his name?
00:35:56.000Chris Matthews got a thrill running up his leg.
00:35:58.000This kind of, this kind of like buttering up the guy in charge, of course, whether or not we find it unseemly, it's still perfectly normal.
00:36:08.000I would love to find a single letter that says, With all my heart, I'm so sorry that I let you down.
00:36:13.000You are the most important thing that matters to me to Barack Obama.
00:36:17.000I would not be, I mean, like, like I said, we already talked about like she's, she probably is a little bit like going, going a little overboard, but the idea of buttering up the boss or, or Kissing someone's ass.
00:36:59.000So for different reasons, I'm willing to bet that a bunch of people wrote letters to Obama where they were like, you're the bad guy.
00:37:04.000I mean, he still has strong influence in the Democratic Party, but it's nowhere near the same level of.
00:37:09.000Again, the cultist status that Donald Trump has built on the right, your career is dependent on how much Donald Trump views you as being loyal.
00:40:33.000That's why you've got the attempts at the Northwest Passage, and China's oil imports are being cut off.
00:40:37.000None of that is to say it's good we did it.
00:40:39.000In fact, I literally called it a failure.
00:40:40.000Trump is now draining the SPR to levels we've not seen since 1982 to try and stabilize gas prices because our economy is screwed up.
00:40:47.000But for some reason, literally starting a video with Trump is failing and he's going to lie about this, people go, I guess Tim supports the war now.
00:40:58.000And I'm like, I support, in a way, American military dominance.
00:42:29.000This is important because people can't seem to understand.
00:42:33.000Let me phrase it like this Not only was I in some of these countries at the start of these conflicts, but I've been tracking this since I was a teenager and involved in the protests around Afghanistan in the Iraq war.
00:42:44.000Every day of my life, reading the news about what was going on.
00:42:47.000So let's go back as far, not even as far as I can go, but we can go, and this is for all the people who might watch this who don't know what's going on, and assume that understanding the conflict is support for it.
00:42:59.000First, the Qatar Turkey pipeline, my favorite story.
00:43:02.000The US went to Syria and said, We want to build a natural gas pipeline from the Persian Gulf through Iraq, Syria, Turkey into Europe to offset the Gazprom gas monopoly.
00:43:18.000We are not going to allow you to build a gas pipeline that would offset our allies' control of energy in Europe.
00:43:24.000Then, Syria, Russia, and Iran said, let's tap the same natural gas field, build it through Syria, and strengthen Russia's gas monopoly.
00:43:34.000Now, this is where there's a gap because I don't want to make insinuations, but surprisingly, within a year, the United States declares that Bashar al Assad is a terrorist state and we enter the conflict on the side of the rebel fighters.
00:43:51.000And the United States says, we're going to side with the rebels, which ultimately all of them form an Islamist nightmare, which is ISIS.
00:43:58.000And they end up with weapons that were delivered by the Obama administration.
00:44:01.000The speculation, because again, I'm trying to be nice, is that the U.S. needed to remove Bashar al Assad so we could build a gas pipeline through Syria and Turkey because, again, Russia controlled 20% of natural gas into Europe.
00:44:12.000And Europe was starting to favor Russian interests because they needed the energy.
00:44:32.000Unfortunately for Russia, Ukrainians were like, we'd rather be in the EU, we'll be wealthy.
00:44:37.000If Ukraine joins the EU, Russia's control or access to the Black Sea would be at risk because Crimea, their only warm water port, is Ukraine.
00:45:11.000Germany has accused Ukrainians of bombing the undersea pipeline that was delivering Russian gas to Germany.
00:45:17.000There's speculation that CIA frogmen were involved in this.
00:45:20.000If it is true that Ukrainians bombed our allies' pipeline in NATO, that would trigger Article 5, and the U.S. would be forced to enter the war against Ukraine.
00:45:47.000When we couldn't get the Qatar Turkey pipeline into Europe, the United States shifted its resources to control of Ukraine.
00:45:53.000If we can get political dominance in Ukraine, we can stifle the Gazprom monopoly through Burisma and other energy sources if Ukraine joins the EU.
00:46:02.000Hence, now Russia is invading, sealing this land bridge to give them access to Crimea, which is the home of their Black Sea fleet.
00:46:10.000The Kherson Bridge was bombed, so that's not a safe means of access for Russia.
00:46:14.000And they're not going to spend a billion dollars putting up a new base in Russian territory in the Black Sea and give away their naval port.
00:46:43.000He's pacified the Caribbean by bombing these vessels.
00:46:46.000And he's surrounded Cuba, cutting them off from all energy, isolating their government, forcing a destabilization.
00:46:52.000He renegotiated the Panama deal, and he's currently trying to gain access to Greenland, which would give us military access to the Northwest Passage.
00:46:58.000Then it brings us to Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, 20% of the world's oil.
00:47:03.000I do not believe Trump is trying to take out nuclear weapons.
00:47:06.000I believe the intention is, as Trump just posted, New U.S. territory is to create permanent control of 20% of global oil exports.
00:48:10.000Such a failure is because the only two options left are further escalation.
00:48:14.000Which are taking over the islands in an attempt to do a siege onto the mainland, which is going to fail unless we're really willing to obliterate most of the Iranian civilians.
00:48:25.000To complete surrender and give the Iranians exactly what they want, which is a restoration fund, which is giving them the reparations that they're asking for, allowing them to continue to control the strait.
00:48:34.000And we've gone from 150 or so ships that were going through Hormuz to like, what, 10 now?
00:49:01.000Well, the last presidential administrations, leading all the way back to Ronald Reagan, wanted Iran to fall.
00:49:06.000They wanted control, but they were worried of what that would do to the global economy, which is exactly what we're starting to see right now.
00:49:54.000Who would support Trump if he said we did this on purpose?
00:49:57.000Republicans that want to see China crippled.
00:49:59.000Yeah, but moderates and Democrats, well, Democrats are out, but the moderates are going to be like, screw off, we don't want war.
00:50:04.000So you're saying the moderates approve of him saying that we're going to get rid of their nuclear weapons?
00:50:07.000I don't think the moderates buy that either.
00:50:09.000Most people, if you have two people and you have a choice of what you're going to try to sell them on, you sell them the lowest common denominator.
00:50:17.000The existential threat of Iranian nuclear weapons is understandable by someone who doesn't pay attention.
00:50:22.000But if you go to them and say, I just choked out 20% of the global oil supply, causing a global economic crisis, and I'm now draining the SPR to make up for that loss.
00:52:06.000But you're never going to go, especially in a midterm year, and tell the American people, you want to know why you can't afford your gas right now or why eggs cost so much money or why the economy is in a downturn?
00:53:01.000So, here's the important understanding of why I would call this a failure draining the strategic petroleum reserve to try and keep gas down in the United States, that is when you are failing.
00:53:12.000Our strategic petroleum reserve is not for gas prices, it is for when we are threatened, we are at war, and we need energy to fight back.
00:53:19.000For Trump to have started this war, and again, with pressure from Israel, no doubt, To now be at a point where we have to drain what's what something like we're going for like 40% of the SPR to the point where they're saying it's going to damage the caverns.
00:53:31.000Looking for the numbers, I don't know.
00:53:33.000Biden drained the SPR because our oil prices were screwed up, and this is not what it is for.
00:53:39.000Trump refilled it early on, but now we're draining it again to choke out the Strait of Hormuz.
00:53:45.000If, however, Trump's gambit does work, which I'm not confident in, we will be in a down period for some time.
00:53:55.000Perhaps in four or five years, the United States will see some benefit from this.
00:54:00.000The simple way that the media likes to say it is short term pain for long term gain.
00:54:04.000My response is no casus belli, no war.
00:54:07.000We, the United States, do not start wars for the purpose of damaging other countries economically to improve our economic situation five years later.
00:55:04.000You have to look at the big picture of the past 20 years with the Qatar Turkey pipeline and all the actions in the Gulf of America, especially with Venezuela.
00:55:12.000And it's all about, again, we're going to cause pain to the Americans today in hopes that in the next five, 10 years, we're energy dominant and China's not.
00:57:19.000If you're dealing with missiles, like, sure, there are solid rocket boosters and stuff, but if you're talking about anything that has an engine, it's all running off of, you know, it's all running off of.
00:57:28.000Bro, the energy output of oil is better than everything.
00:57:31.000And you're not going to get a microfusion reactor for a car.
00:57:56.000This is a component of why Trump is like, we're going to burn them to the ground.
00:57:59.000The United States, the military industrial complex, the Western powers are not going to let bricks run away with energy outside the petrodollar.
00:58:05.000We're talking about the future of warfare.
00:59:30.000Well, so the first, I think the most important thing to understand is two things.
00:59:32.000Biological warfare is a component of the future of warfare, but psychological, actually, I just had a great conversation with the AI guy, and that's going to come out on Sunday at the Tim Pool Show.
01:01:00.000These are the things that we know we're lacking.
01:01:01.000We don't understand exactly how the brain works.
01:01:05.000And when AI starts to map the brain, we are going to have psychological weapons, literally the ability to program a thought through visual or like audio manipulation.
01:01:16.000So, an example of this did you guys know that there is an LED device?
01:01:20.000That is marketed to police that they point at you like a gun and it flashes lights that will make you vomit.
01:01:40.000But specifically in psychology, the strobe light somehow causes a nausea, it nauseates you and then it makes it hard for you to function and some people vomit.
01:01:52.000And they've been marketing these for a long time.
01:01:55.000If AI starts mapping out how the human brain works, they could theoretically make sounds that will elicit insane emotions, depression.
01:02:04.000Imagine you're out in a protest and they blast the depression beam, and then everyone just falls down crying uncontrollably and they don't understand why.
01:02:27.000If you go back, because there's this really funny art of the year 2000 that was written in like 1908, and firefighters had mechanical wings, and it showed them pedaling and flapping wings while they flew above buildings, spraying them down.
01:02:42.000Because the understanding of technology was mechanical and steam powered.
01:02:45.000So when you start there and then make something better, it's something like a guy pedaling wings.
01:02:52.000Whereas once you understood atomic nuclear energy or whatever, Computing, then all of a sudden the door is open to things that are.
01:03:00.000In technology, they call it miniaturization.
01:03:02.000It's like making smaller, yet more effective pieces of things, weapons, and like gene editing.
01:03:09.000My God, if they can go in there and snip your RNA code and replace it with a sound or a chemical in your food or something, or like a bug that's been released into the environment.
01:03:39.000This is kind of like, I understand the near term desire to stifle Iran and control the petroleum, but do they not think far ahead, or is it just there's no other choice?
01:03:50.000Like, if we don't take evasive action right now, in six years, the Chinese petroleum based economy will dominate the AI space.
01:03:57.000They have the productions, they are poised to take Taiwan for chip production.
01:04:03.000Petroleum is not going to be a major factor when it comes to AI data centers.
01:04:07.000It's going to be nuclear, possibly renewals.
01:04:11.000But honestly, I think that if Musk can get data centers into space, everyone's going to follow him because there's endless amounts of light.
01:04:18.000They can do radiated heating and stuff, get rid of the heat that way.
01:04:22.000If he can figure it out, a lot of companies are going to follow suit.
01:04:25.000Check this out LED incapacitator, a light emitting diode incapacitator weapon designed like a flashlight, extremely bright, rapid, well focused series of differently colored random pulses.
01:04:35.000It can cause intracranial pressure, headache, nausea, vomiting, disorientation, irritability, and visual impairment to the target.
01:04:42.000That's, yeah, I said incapacitato because it was cutting off the R, yes.
01:05:06.000So a laser induced plasma channel uses a high powered infrared laser to superheat the air in a straight line, creating a path of least resistance for a high electrical charge.
01:05:31.000Well, the problem is the way electricity works is it goes, it's a positive negative charge.
01:05:35.000It's going to jump to the path of least resistance to balance the charge.
01:05:39.000So if you have a high powered electrode, it's just going to hit the ground.
01:05:41.000It's going to go straight to the ground.
01:05:43.000But if you fire an infrared laser first, then the supercharged pathway from that laser is the easiest path.
01:05:49.000The electricity just goes straight through it.
01:05:51.000Within a split second, like a millisecond, nanosecond, you infrared laser on, electrode on, and it blasts the target with a lightning bolt.
01:07:11.000And the issues that people are citing, it's like looking at the tip of the Empire State Building and saying that's where the building starts.
01:07:30.000When we talk about what he's talking about, I went on Jubilee and my name was trending nonstop, and people want to put my name on X to hit the trend and get more access.
01:07:40.000You think Alex Jones talked about you because of Jubilee?
01:08:06.000Because you have a lot of people listening to you.
01:08:07.000I wonder because, like, we'll talk about this war and the horrors and, like, the tactics.
01:08:12.000And, like, if we don't, if I don't speak out against what I think the Israelis are doing, colonizing Gaza, which I have a lot of issues with, am I actively supporting it because I'm not speaking out against it?
01:08:23.000And I think that's at what's Alex is like, you're not doing enough to stop it, where you're just commenting that it's happening and you're not, like, denouncing it.
01:08:55.000We're building technologies that have free software built into the code, building sensors that can detect incoming weaponry that they don't know you have, like things like, you know, giving people the opportunity to grow their own food.
01:10:03.000I'm wondering that if you don't become overt about what your deep criticisms are, that you become then complicit in allowing it to happen.
01:10:10.000I think that if that's your goal as a show is to change the narrative or change conversations or get people to think differently, then yeah, you should be overt about that.
01:10:19.000But you're saying that he's not doing that.
01:10:47.000Also, it's just been on my mind a lot about the banality of evil.
01:10:49.000It comes up from time to time about the man that sits by and feels like he's unreliable.
01:10:53.000Are part of complicit of the evil, and I understand that philosophy.
01:10:56.000It's not okay, you're misunderstanding.
01:10:59.000The banality of evil is when you do nothing and you just go along with the evil, right?
01:11:03.000Right, yet when you are ideologically, look, we are overt on this show and actively involved in the culture war, there's no banality of anything here.
01:11:13.000Oh man, like I don't know about screaming about how horrible colonization and genocide is could actually help or change it.
01:15:27.000Alex's pylon is very interesting because I'm not entirely convinced it's just the trending thing because I don't believe that Tucker, Candace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Alex all just changed their opinions overnight.
01:16:18.000It is estimated about $100 to $150 million allocated toward Trump victory in 2024 for support of Israel, rumored to be the annexation of the West Bank.
01:16:51.000Yeah, I mean, Tucker, it definitely is like, it seems like he's trying to capitulate to a subsection of the MAGA movement that are pissed off right now.
01:17:19.000Now we get war with Iran prolonged with no end in sight, and he keeps claiming he's winning when he's not, and our prices are in the gutter.
01:18:08.000And I think to your point, like as much as you try to give analysis, there are going to be people that are going to say, well, if you're not.
01:18:18.000Telling me what I want to hear or telling me what I, you know, if you're not satisfying my emotional reaction to this, then you must support it.
01:18:26.000My point ultimately is I feel like most people are looking at the 70th floor of the Empire State Building and going, that's the foundation.
01:18:34.000And I'm like, bro, there is so much more underneath it that's going on.
01:18:38.000This is why I can't stand the Israel derangement people.
01:18:40.000It's like no other region in the world exists.
01:18:43.000No other conflict, no other financing, no other funding.
01:18:46.000We've given more to Ukraine in two years than we've given to Israel in 50.
01:18:50.000To be fair, they're consistent, right?
01:18:55.000And when you're that hyper focused on one issue and blame essentially everything, I mean, look, the people that are like, oh, I'm anti Israel, a lot of times they blame all the woke stuff that's going on on Israel or on Jews and stuff, ignoring the fact that the French Revolution was motivated by the exact same things that are motivating the people today in the woke.
01:19:21.000Revolution in the Soviet Union was motivated by the same thing that was going on in the French Revolution.
01:19:26.000This is not just about Jews or Israel.
01:19:30.000The way that they characterize it, it's always the Jews.
01:19:33.000I'm going to pull in this chat, even though it's not a chat point yet, because Slick makes a point.
01:19:37.000It matters because the country in question has unwavering support amongst the majority of those in DC, and it's a result of bad theology gripping a large voting bloc.
01:20:10.000However, if I'm going to triage this, I have to point out if we keep up funding for Ukraine the way we do for Israel, imagine how much money we'll have dumped into Ukraine if this war persists for a decade.
01:21:04.000We are either escalation or we're going to surrender.
01:21:08.000And the purpose of surrender is if we back off, it's to minimize damage.
01:21:12.000So if we're going to exit, it should be to minimize damage.
01:21:14.000And I would consider that at this point success.
01:21:16.000But the Iranians are a regime right now that has a million man army that's willing to sacrifice everything for the current regime that Donald Trump wants to collapse.
01:21:25.000In what way do we surrender in a fashion where Iran doesn't get everything that they want?
01:23:37.000This is what annoys me about politics.
01:23:38.000It's like I say on the Jubilee show, first of all, white supremacists are not a component of the Republican platform, but white supremacists did vote for Trump hoping that ICE would kill migrants.
01:23:49.000And then what do we get from liberals?
01:23:56.000I am criticizing the Trump administration of lying to the American people to engage in a war to cut off 20% of global oil, which is damaging to the U.S. economy because they hate bricks and it's part of a larger economy.
01:24:07.000I have a feeling that most of the top rafts of the U.S. military did not want this and was like, please don't, please don't.
01:27:20.000He's like, when I, when I don't think it was you, I don't know if it was you, it was the other guy that, yeah, it was the other guy when I said white supremacists voted for Trump hoping that ICE would shoot migrants.
01:27:31.000Destiny busted out laughing, being like, they have no response to this.
01:27:34.000They have no idea what to do when someone like Tim Pool says, yeah, white supremacists want to kill migrants because they don't understand.
01:27:48.000I think that, like, when you say you're a moderate, is that, like, in the literal sense or in, like, Trump's going to win by, like, 49 state landslide sense?
01:28:16.000If Trump brought Andrew Yang, As economic advisor and Tulsi Gabbard as national security advisor, and then legalized pot and pardoned everybody for marijuana, he's gonna win a 49 state landslide.
01:29:43.000You said Kamala Harris has been chosen, according to ChatGPT, has been chosen to be vice presidential running mate for Joe Biden in the 2020 election cycle.
01:29:49.000And I'm sure most of you have already heard by now because the internet can't stop laughing.
01:29:53.000But the choice may be a gift to Donald Trump of a massive 49 state landslide.
01:30:04.000What I'm actually talking about is the weird ways in which history seems to be repeating itself.
01:30:09.000From what I could take, that wasn't a claim that there will be a 49.
01:30:11.000And there's also another important point that 49 state landslide is a meme.
01:30:14.000It doesn't actually mean 49 state landslide.
01:30:16.000It was a meme at the time among the right representing we're going to win.
01:30:20.000And so they kept posting like the retard Wojak and he would be putting a red state into a, like it's a map of America that's all red and he's drooling and putting a red state in.
01:30:32.000This is then later in 23, you said Poole himself referred to the phrase differently, saying that 49 state landslide was a meme meaning Trump wins handily rather than a literal projection of exactly 49 states.
01:30:48.000For you being a moderate, though, like what would you say are some like good attributes of the left?
01:30:53.000I don't think I've seen that from you.
01:30:55.000And maybe I do live in a biased echo chamber, but I'd love to hear from you.
01:30:58.000It's like when you said that I admitted the war was bad, but we said it the entire time, like the whole, whole, like, Political through line for me has always been anti intervention.
01:31:15.000Yeah, I think that when most people talk about like late term abortion, they're referring to it as being like elective.
01:31:21.000Like a woman's going to go through eight months of pregnancy and then just all of a sudden decide, yeah, you know what, I don't want this kid, which typically is not the case.
01:31:28.000It's not when there is medical like necessity.
01:31:46.000But you can just say sometimes there might be restrictions, yeah?
01:31:49.000I think that, but it's just like the restrictions, I think, create this weird paradox where women that do require it for medical necessity oftentimes have to jump through hoops.
01:31:58.000It's like the same thing when we've seen in Texas, we've seen in Alabama where people have died because they need abortion and the doctors are scared to facilitate it because they could lose their medical license.
01:32:25.000I think that we need to empower doctors to be able to protect women's health and safety.
01:32:30.000And so I think that there could be some restrictions if it's proven that it's an elective abortion.
01:32:35.000But I just don't know how you prove that.
01:32:37.000Is the argument you're making that because there's only a few hundred late term elective abortions per year, we don't want to put the restrictions on it because it could inhibit women who actually need medical intervention?
01:32:47.000Yeah, I just think the examples of healthcare professionals that end up becoming afraid to facilitate, like, Protecting the health and well being of a mother because they're afraid of losing their license, that's a greater net negative than like the.
01:33:00.000So, if it were possible to say we will make sure there's no restrictions on medical intervention.
01:33:06.000Yeah, if we could add that in the legal language, then we completely agree.
01:33:11.000I think that once the baby can live, there's no reason to kill it, right?
01:33:15.000If the woman's already pregnant and the baby is viable, then just deliver the baby and put it up for adoption, put it in a NICU, whatever it has to be.
01:33:23.000The issue, so I consider myself what we call traditional pro choice.0.99
01:33:27.000And the reason is the modern left is Michelle Wolf going abortions, abortions, and acting like it's something to celebrate when it's not.
01:33:36.000And then the issue is the ultimate question that the left never answers is why should we make unrestricted abortion?
01:33:44.000So I think that my position is if a woman goes to the doctor and there's something related to her medical health or physical health that is causing problems, to where the doctor needs to intervene, which will result in the loss of the baby.
01:34:19.000And I think that the best way to facilitate people excited to start families and give birth is creating the economic conditions that allow people to do that.
01:34:26.000So making sure that people have the wages to support a family, making sure that we have access to Necessary goods, that is how you're going to build the nope business of your families.
01:36:01.000I think we've crossed a line there, and a lot of that was the deregulation of Ronald Reagan that has moved a lot of these industries out of the U.S.
01:36:07.000So, I think it would be really difficult to bring them back.
01:36:09.000But I think when you go to places like Detroit and you see just barren wastelands that used to be thriving communities and industries, It's really difficult to contend with, okay, how are we going to move this back into a thriving place?
01:36:19.000So, just very simply, there'd be a huge debate on the merits, the metrics, and all that, but you would say no to auto tariffs.
01:36:27.000I just think it depends on the implementation for sure.
01:36:29.000I'm not like anti protectionist trade policy, but I am anti like.
01:36:34.000So, middle of the road on the tariff issue.
01:36:54.000Do you think that we should allow illegal immigrants, unauthorized immigrants, whatever you want to call them, when they enter the country to work in the United States?
01:37:14.000Libertarians who want like a cheaper labor force and to increase the labor pool to make sure that corporations are able to pay people less, that is a right position.0.83
01:37:22.000My position is by legalizing and giving these people amnesty or making sure that they're citizens and that they're actually able to collectively bargain and unionize within their workplace to advocate for stronger positions, that's not a right wing position.
01:37:52.000There's a few different qualifiers there's a cultural scale, there's an economic scale, and there's a tribal scale.
01:37:56.000So, typically, when we're speaking publicly, they're all used interchangeably and often don't make sense.
01:38:01.000However, in most arguments, people are referring to the tribal nature.
01:38:04.000That's why you'll have Jimmy Dore called right wing, despite the fact he's a socialist.
01:38:09.000And you'll have John Fetterman called left by some and right by others, because they're referring to the particular tribal stances they make.
01:38:16.000Economics on the left and right scale, right refers to, on the far right of the economic scale, you have laissez faire capitalism.
01:38:25.000So, you're isolating for political ideology or culture.
01:38:29.000As you move closer to freedom of movement, you are on the right.
01:38:33.000As you move closer to trade protectionism, you are on the left.
01:38:36.000The public good and control of these systems.
01:38:38.000So, economically, I am to the left of where you are on that issue, as are many Republicans.
01:38:44.000This was Bernie Sanders' position in 2016.
01:38:46.000We cannot allow these people to come into work.
01:38:48.000In fact, the World Socialist website called him a nationalist capitalist for that position.
01:38:55.000They said, when Bernie, the socialists called Bernie, A capitalist, when he took the position of we should not let these people come in, they said he was trying to protect the American worker.
01:39:07.000But that's actually the left position.
01:39:10.000You have the cultural scale, and this is nebulous because culture changes.
01:39:13.000But the cultural scale inverts depending on what period you're in.
01:39:16.000This is why they talk about the Southern strategy.
01:39:18.000This is why Democrats used to be the Klan, but now the Democrats have more non whites in Congress than Republicans do, even though Republicans had the first black members of Congress.
01:39:26.000Left and right on the cultural scale is amorphous and generational.
01:39:29.000So again, when we are isolating policies based on their appropriate scale, I think it's fair to say that you land to the right of me on some issues.
01:39:38.000But I don't know why it's hard to believe.
01:39:40.000No, but I just think it's funny to try to attribute like believing in people's ability for free movement or civil liberties when it comes to them being able to enter the country is a right wing position.
01:39:51.000That absolutely is a right economic position.
01:39:53.000The right position is the nationalist idea that this country does not have ethnic hegemony unless it has a particular culture that's maintained.
01:41:11.000You get unanswerable, like, the East India Trading Company killing 50,000 people for black peppercorn.
01:41:16.000Like, okay, he just, this idea of like, we'll be more free when we let one corporation buy everything is silly.
01:41:21.000And then, You'll move upwards towards authoritarian when you have a government.
01:41:25.000I'm not saying literal authoritarian, I'm saying you're more authoritarian when the government comes in and breaks these corporations up, but that is anti free trade.
01:41:32.000So you're basically saying, we're not going to let you buy whatever you want because y'all buy people.
01:41:37.000But that's why I think the political compass is not like the best way to look at different political ideologies.
01:41:43.000I think that looking at the left and right spectrum as like how much do you want to preserve hierarchy is a better metric towards establishing what political ideology.
01:42:03.000I think that like the more that you try to dismantle hierarchy, you get to like anarchy, where you're dealing with like syndicates or like workers' unions.
01:42:10.000That's what we're talking about like the furthest left.
01:42:13.000The furthest right you would see is like totalitarian fascism.
01:42:16.000You're talking about a totally different scale, which is typically top to bottom.
01:42:19.000When we talk liberty, decentralized, to centralized, authoritarian on the compass, that's why I bring it up.
01:42:24.000The scale that you're using is used by anarchists quite a bit, where they say either they will choose whether they want to identify as left or right and then claim the other side.
01:42:33.000So, what right wing libertarians will do is they'll say the far right is freedom and anarchy and the far left is totalitarian communist.
01:42:39.000And what the communists will do is that the far left is equality and distribution and the far right is corporatist monopolist.
01:42:45.000But those are personalized to a singular ideology.
01:42:48.000Let's just break it down and refer to the scales I'm talking about economic scale, where on the left, You could have authoritarian or otherwise.
01:43:48.000So the point I'm making is if we are talking about non authoritarian, we're talking literally about laissez faire capitalism to decentralized communal structures.
01:43:59.000I would be to the left of you on some issues.
01:44:47.000Something that is in what you said about being a democratic socialist is a more international view.
01:44:53.000But I think if you take global poverty that seriously, it leads you to conclusions that in the U.S. are considered out of political bounds.
01:45:01.000Things like sharply raising the level of immigration we permit, even up to a level of open borders, about sharply increasing the number of foreign aid.
01:45:33.000You're saying if you keep them illegal, it's right wing, but if you legalize them, it becomes a left wing.
01:45:38.000Well, keeping them illegal makes them a more easily exploitable workforce where not only are they not.
01:45:45.000They're not able to collectively bargain.
01:45:47.000But at the same time, a lot of these corporations threaten ICE or they threaten deportation if they bring up things like wage theft or they bring up things like unpaid wages or unpaid benefits.
01:45:55.000That is a right wing position, which is further establishing a hierarchy where this is a vulnerable class that's easily fixed.
01:46:01.000I think, you know, I'm going to go with my man Bernie on this one and just say, you know, you can say whatever you want.
01:46:05.000You think that more workers in a labor pool that build a larger union that can collectively bargain at a higher rate with their employers is a right wing position?
01:46:11.000When they enter the country illegally, padding the workforce of that corporation, you said do.
01:46:27.000Then why would somebody like Donald Trump?
01:46:31.000Well, there's a difference between someone coming to the country legally and someone going through a legal mechanism and they're proposing to denaturalize those people.
01:46:39.000In what way is that promoting the legal process?
01:47:37.000Yeah, fraud, concealing criminal conduct, terrorism, national security concerns, which is pretty vague, but there are certain serious criminal offenses.
01:47:44.000The fraud and national security, I mean, what, you're critical of Israel too much?
01:47:47.000Now you're going to lose your citizenship?
01:49:49.000It says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech or the press or the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for reaches of grievances.
01:51:22.000If you're talking about the Teamsters, and why did they support him?
01:51:24.000If you're talking about the Teamsters that endorse Trump at the RNC in order to get favorability amongst a presidential administration that is going to determine how strong their union is able to be, that's a whole different thing than saying unions support Trump in full.
01:53:41.000You're murdering, like, if he's speeding, then, like, a permanent resident can get their residency removed and get deported to a country who they might not have been in for a decade.
01:53:48.000The plurality of this country votes for immigration enforcement.
01:53:58.000I'm not saying that it's going to happen if a majority of people want it in the current system that we have, but we can all agree that there are some laws that we'd consider immoral.
01:54:05.000What if you were in charge of the law?
01:54:08.000Hypothetically, if you were in charge of the nation's security and you were at war with another country and you found a bunch of their citizens were here without, you know, they weren't citizens, but they were protesting and advocating for the other country to win and for your country to fall and for you to die, like what would you do as a commander of the military?
01:54:24.000Well, it depends on what the actions are.
01:54:26.000If they're threatening the security and safety of other people that are living within the country, but by violent means, then absolutely the government will.
01:55:33.000I'm asking you who your favorite president was.
01:55:35.000I don't think that we should look at politicians as celebrities, but I do think that, as far as the domestic agenda, I do like the policies of FDR.
01:56:41.000So, I don't think they were necessary because in the 40s, right, when they were interning them, most of the people that came to the United States were pro United States and wanted to become Americans.
01:56:53.000And they were very, very small in population, the numbers were microscopic.
01:56:55.000And so, I don't think the internment of Japanese, and we talked about this the other night because he had made some comment about interning Chinese people, the possibility of interning Chinese people, which is like 3% of the population.
01:57:06.000But so, I don't think the Japanese internment was even defensible because when people came to the United States, in that timeframe, they wanted to become American.
01:57:16.000You saw people saying, no, we're not speaking the old language.
01:57:19.000We're going to learn English, et cetera, et cetera.
01:57:21.000So, I don't think that it was defensible at all.
01:57:22.000We ought to grab some questions from the crew here, the Timcast Discord, and we went a little long, so I'll try and grab what I can.
01:57:33.000SWC says, question for Mason If the Constitution gives rights to all people inside the borders of the U.S., then what is to stop transient non citizens from purchasing weapons, assembling militias, voting, or creating parallel systems of power?
01:57:44.000What separates an invasion from an other than legal mass migration?
01:57:48.000Well, there's a difference between identifying a threat that can happen within the country and having proper evidence to do that.
01:58:10.000Saying that they want to tear down the structures of the government, they want to do all these things that would basically change the government or, say, start a revolution.
01:58:56.000But there's a difference between organized militia that's specifically designed to inflict violence versus those that are against government action.
01:59:04.000No, no, but that's not, again, you're changing it because I didn't say against government action.
01:59:08.000I said, people that say we need to tear down the government, we need to start a revolution.
01:59:13.000That's not being, I'm against this particular action.
01:59:16.000That's being against the government, against the United States.
01:59:19.000I think saying that, no, well, then I'd say that we're at a difference versus what we're interpreting a lot of these encampments.
01:59:27.000I'm specifically talking about the encampments.
01:59:28.000I don't think that deporting people for participating in protests against Israel's continuing a genocide is something that's worth removing citizenship.
02:00:15.000Roton Nation says, Mason, if artificial wombs existed en masse, what argument would women have about abortion if they had the ability to transfer the embryo safely without harm?
02:00:26.000Well, let me simplify this question Should women be allowed to get abortions if an artificial one existed that could preserve the life of the embryo?
02:00:35.000I think that our preservation of life is something that's important.
02:00:38.000And obviously, abortion is always going to be a morality issue of where you necessarily see life.
02:00:43.000I think that personal autonomy is something that we guarantee within our legal system.
02:00:48.000And we don't prioritize preservation of life over that bodily autonomy.
02:00:52.000So, like in an instance where, if you were in a car crash that you caused because you drunk drive, you initially volunteered.
02:00:58.000To put someone else's life at risk, and they require like a kidney transplant.
02:01:09.000That's the same thing I'd view with pregnancy.
02:01:10.000So let's assume she's pregnant, 10 weeks pregnant, and she says, I don't want to be pregnant.
02:01:16.000For whatever reason, it's none of your business.0.95
02:01:17.000And the doctor says, We can remove the embryo and put it into an artificial womb where it will survive.
02:01:22.000Yeah, I think that that's definitely going to be an interesting conversation when that technology exists because we're definitely on track to be there.
02:03:45.000Within minutes, we're getting messages saying, he's not dead.
02:03:48.000And I think what happens is the information we got relayed was not to say that he was in a hospital bed with his heart beating and they were transfusing blood and he was alive.
02:03:59.000It was that he's in transport to the hospital and he's not dead.
02:04:05.000And so now, in hindsight, nobody asks what happened on that day and they take it and manipulate it to presume I'm saying Charlie's laying in a hospital.
02:04:14.000They've got him on life support and he's okay.
02:04:16.000Yeah, I just ask because I think you were like the first person to say, not definitively, but just something.
02:07:04.000Their security did security for us because that's security for the whole event.
02:07:07.000So, when this is going down, the logistics people are getting information relayed by the people on the ground, which is not everybody in the car.
02:07:15.000And they're talking with other security that includes Ben's and includes ours.
02:07:45.000We had about, I probably had like 17 phone calls.
02:07:48.000One security guy said, before we knew anything, I was driving with my wife and we got on the highway when Alex Stein called me and he said, Charlie's been shot.
02:08:17.000Literally friends, as in they were literally texting each other about clothes and food and shopping when this went down.
02:08:24.000As much as we were hearing positive things, I will tell you the secret that nobody said, when I said, I'm hearing he's sable, so our salesman, I hope it's true.
02:08:35.000Not that he was like overtly dead, but I get one of the calls that's notable is a guy who does security, firearms specialty, firearms training, sniper stuff.
02:08:44.000Hey, Tim, ain't nobody surviving that shot.
02:08:46.000And I was like, bro, don't tell me this, dude.
02:08:50.000And he's like, You're saying you said it just in hopes that it was true.
02:08:54.000When I was told no one's surviving that shot, it was not definitive.
02:10:02.000I was just texting with him, like, I had just not that day, but like, uh, like a week earlier, you know, we were texting, and I didn't know him super well.
02:10:10.000You know, I would call him a friend just in that I put it like this we weren't bar buddies, we didn't hang out.
02:10:16.000But if I publicly said, Well, I don't think Charlie's my friend, he'd be offended, he'd be like, What?
02:10:20.000He's like, What are you talking on the phone?
02:12:08.000Angry is that the tweet saying that he was stable and I'm praying and please God be true was a tweet of hope that he could survive, despite the fact most of us believed he wouldn't.
02:12:22.000That is currently being weaponized by nasty people, maybe evil is a better way to describe it, to mock my pain on that day and what hope we tried to preserve.
