Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - 🚨LIVE: Trump Address To The Nation, Insiders FEAR What He Will Say| Timcast IRL

00:02:43.000 At 9 p.m. Eastern, which is just about an hour from the start of this show, Donald Trump, the president of the United States, will address the nation.

00:02:49.000 Reporting suggests he will address 2020 election irregularities and interference from China.

00:02:55.000 To which, to how far will he go with it?

00:02:59.000 We don't exactly know.

00:03:01.000 Some speculate.

00:03:02.000 I would speculate he's going to say, hey, China interfered.

00:03:05.000 Thank you and have a nice day.

00:03:06.000 And I don't think we will get anything substantive other than what we already know.

00:03:10.000 This was reported on in 2022.

00:03:13.000 That China had interfered and there was classified information as to such that was never released.

00:03:19.000 Some reporting has suggested Trump will accuse two sitting Democrat senators of being illegitimate.

00:03:25.000 And according to the Daily Beast, there are fears inside the administration that Trump is going to do something crazy.

00:03:32.000 And my response to that is one can only hope.

00:03:36.000 So here's hoping that Trump actually does something crazy because my expectation is that he's going to say what we already know thank the American people, and that'll be the end of it.

00:03:43.000 But this could be big.

00:03:45.000 Considering we're about three and a half months from the midterm election, we've already seen redistricting, and the Republicans, they can't afford to lose.

00:03:53.000 Namely, Trump can't afford to lose, otherwise, he'll be impeached.

00:03:56.000 The question is, how far is Trump willing to go to make sure they cannot use the weight of the legislative branch to come after him?

00:04:04.000 I'd argue there's a decent probability he may actually try to do something, whether it'll be today, who knows.

00:04:11.000 But with these looming accusations against Warnock and Assoff, It is interesting.

00:04:16.000 Some believe that Asaf could be a contender for 2028, and Trump is making these moves to try and stop him before that happens.

00:04:20.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:04:22.000 Plus, we actually have crazy news, and it's surprising that we're not leading with this, but an ice building in Arizona was fired upon.

00:04:30.000 They shot at this building.

00:04:32.000 This is crazy.

00:04:33.000 So, as much as we haven't seen riot season, people are pointing out this fervor is still here.

00:04:39.000 We shall see.

00:05:45.000 However, there is a comic that we are working on with the backstory to this, and there is a sequel because, in fact, Ian does not die here.

00:06:00.000 Good evening.

00:06:00.000 My name is Joe Neerman, aka Good Logic.

00:06:03.000 I'm a New York litigator turned podcaster after COVID lockdowns.

00:06:08.000 And I host a nightly show called The Following Program Five Times a Week, which airs on YouTube and on Rumble on my channel, Good Logic, L A W G I C.

00:06:19.000 And my stream starts actually right when.

00:06:23.000 Tim Cast IRL tends to end.

00:06:25.000 I start at 10 p.m. Eastern Time.

00:06:27.000 All right, on.

00:06:28.000 It's going to be fun, especially with a lot of talk.

00:06:30.000 There's a lot of legal questions that maybe you might have some insight into considering what Trump is going to say.

00:06:34.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:06:35.000 Libby's here.

00:06:38.000 I'm glad to be here.

00:06:38.000 Hi, Libby.

00:06:39.000 We're to the show tonight.

00:06:40.000 And the boys. 0.66

00:06:41.000 What's up, homie? 0.98

00:06:42.000 Hey, if you like that red coat, if you like the Ian Cross on Renegade red coat concept, dude, get behind it because I think there could be an entire story arc. 1.00

00:06:50.000 Or we have a comic book that we're making.

00:06:51.000 Yeah, dude.

00:06:53.000 And then the next skateboard and shirt we're making is Ian's Revenge.

00:06:56.000 Dude, that's where my head is at anyway.

00:06:58.000 So let's go.

00:06:59.000 Yeah, he wants revenge against all of us.

00:07:00.000 The comic's going to be great because one of the scenes is when Ian betrays all of us.

00:07:04.000 He's like, You never listened.

00:07:06.000 You always made fun of me and belittled me on the show.

00:07:08.000 You never took me seriously.

00:07:10.000 People are just like, Now you'll pay.

00:07:11.000 And then later he's like, I'm sorry, I was wrong about you.

00:07:14.000 I got it all.

00:07:15.000 I'm sorry.

00:07:16.000 And then aliens come and we team up.

00:07:16.000 I got it all.

00:07:18.000 Anyway.

00:07:18.000 Who knows?

00:07:19.000 It's good.

00:07:20.000 Undead.

00:07:21.000 Hi, everybody.

00:07:21.000 Anyway, there's Phil.

00:07:22.000 I'm Phil.

00:07:23.000 All right.

00:07:24.000 Let's get into it.

00:07:24.000 You guys ready?

00:07:24.000 We got the story from the Daily Beast.

00:07:26.000 Trump's primetime speech has Republicans scared ishless.

00:07:32.000 Insiders are terrified the president will do something crazy on live TV.

00:07:36.000 My friends, we have about 56 minutes right now in this podcast before Donald Trump gives his address to the nation.

00:07:44.000 It's expected that he is going to say China stole the election or interfered.

00:07:48.000 That sitting members of Congress are actually illegitimate.

00:07:51.000 The question is, what action will he propose?

00:07:54.000 And apparently, according to this reporting, he may do something crazy.

00:07:58.000 And I'm just saying, please, can you do anything?

00:08:01.000 I'm so bored.

00:08:03.000 I mean that half jokingly.

00:08:05.000 We got this from Reuters ABC and NBC will not air Trump's election security speech on broadcast networks.

00:08:11.000 And I can only say thank you to these networks because that means more people will watch our shows and you will be less relevant because you don't cover the news.

00:08:19.000 I can't imagine.

00:08:21.000 Okay, I'm going to put it like this.

00:08:22.000 Guys, what was the news today, Libby?

00:08:24.000 Did anything happen?

00:08:26.000 There was a couple of things.

00:08:27.000 A couple of things, maybe?

00:08:28.000 Just a little bit here?

00:08:29.000 And what's NBC and ABC actually going to cover?

00:08:31.000 The big news today that we've all been waiting for is that Trump's going to come out and he's going to say something.

00:08:35.000 Whether you love him or hate him, you want to know what he's going to say.

00:08:37.000 And ABC and NBC is like, we'll talk about, I don't know, crop circles, which is interesting.

00:08:43.000 They'll talk about it after, and then they'll tell you what they want you to think about it.

00:08:47.000 But they won't let you think for yourself about it.

00:08:47.000 Right.

00:08:50.000 Yeah, that is, I mean, that is pretty, pretty.

00:08:53.000 Bad form, I guess, like to.

00:08:55.000 They're going to editorialize afterwards.

00:08:57.000 They'll show us some little clips.

00:08:59.000 They'll show clips.

00:09:00.000 They'll show clips.

00:09:01.000 Exactly.

00:09:02.000 So that way they can tell their viewers what the context is supposed to be.

00:09:05.000 It's almost like they're helping to prepare people on the left for what they're going to get onto X and Facebook and stuff and broadcast.

00:09:14.000 They want to make sure they're not watching the speech.

00:09:16.000 They also want all their viewers who are not watching the speech to feel superior to the people who do watch the speech.

00:09:21.000 Yeah, there's also that.

00:09:22.000 That's true.

00:09:23.000 See, that's a change because mainstream media, what they've always been about is obviously controlling the media and what messaging.

00:09:28.000 It doesn't matter what actually happens on the ground, what ultimately happens, what people see and perceive to be reality is all that they ever really cared about.

00:09:35.000 And since they're sculpting that by curating what you can see and what you can't see, this is just a natural extension of that, that they say, we don't want you to see Trump.

00:09:43.000 And that way you can't, you're not going to subscribe to anything that he might be putting out there to the public.

00:09:48.000 But it's interesting that they're willing to self immolate.

00:09:51.000 And it's not like there's, like as Tim was pointing out, it's not like there's even like a big story that's going on here.

00:09:55.000 There's nothing.

00:09:56.000 That's happening here.

00:09:57.000 You're going to cover yesterday's rallies or new rallies today that are coming out of midfield because somebody ran into an ICE agent and got killed.

00:10:06.000 I mean, there's nothing that's really developing today, but they're so desperate to curate that they have to.

00:10:10.000 It's also weird because they're going to be like the last ones to know about what he says.

00:10:14.000 I mean, it could have been live on their channels.

00:10:17.000 So the breaking news, they're not going to have it.

00:10:19.000 The only thing that has me thinking something might actually happen is Bill Pulte.

00:10:24.000 Why?

00:10:24.000 Well, Trump brought in a lot of people, and we saw a whole lot of nothing.

00:10:29.000 And then he brings Bill Pulte into the Federal Housing Authority or whatever.

00:10:32.000 And then Pulte finds like three instances of falsification of mortgage documents.

00:10:37.000 And it's like, you hire all these people to weed out corruption, and the only guy who delivers is the housing loan application guy.

00:10:45.000 That shows that he's really doing the work.

00:10:47.000 Trump brings him in as acting DNI, and all of a sudden he's about to go on TV.

00:10:52.000 I got to say, with all due respect to the people who Trump brought in, I think many of them were worried about the politics of the actions they would take.

00:10:59.000 I don't think Pulte is.

00:11:01.000 And again, I'm not going to drag anybody that's no longer with the Trump admin, but.

00:11:06.000 Did we see a whole lot of anything politically from a lot of these people?

00:11:09.000 With all due respect, not really, except for Pulte.

00:11:12.000 Pulte comes into the office of the DNI, and all of a sudden, he's like, Here we go.

00:11:16.000 We got these documents, and he's going to be appearing with Trump.

00:11:18.000 He's the one guy I think is actually willing to go the distance.

00:11:21.000 There's also been all of this work done, I think, in the Trump White House to get a bunch of documents declassified.

00:11:28.000 Like, I know John Solomon's been working on that and a bunch of other people.

00:11:31.000 So we'll see if maybe some of this has to do with that.

00:11:35.000 To air by NBC and ABC, it kind of indicates that the deep state, that the liberal economic order is terrified of Donald Trump, that they're not aligned, that he is building a new world.

00:11:46.000 And they control those networks.

00:11:47.000 They're trying to, like, it's just like the vestiges of the Swiss banks failing to control the guy and his messaging.

00:11:53.000 Well, you know, he also sent down this week, they said that he had 200 agents in Fulton County that were sent down with a specific deadline of July 17th, which was not a court imposed deadline.

00:12:03.000 It's a self imposed deadline, which makes you wonder why they would just pick this date unless it's to set him up for it this evening.

00:12:09.000 Right, right.

00:12:11.000 Or they had this deadline because they wanted to have it.

00:12:14.000 Like the fact that it's coming out today means that the deadline was met.

00:12:18.000 It's presumably the deadline was met.

00:12:19.000 What came out today?

00:12:20.000 What was it?

00:12:21.000 Well, it was like three or four days ago that it came out that in Fulton County, they sent down 200 FBI agents to go through, to leave through the records of what was going on in Fulton County in the 2020 election.

00:12:33.000 And that specifically, they were given a deadline, which was a self imposed deadline, to go through the records.

00:12:38.000 Because these records are not federal records, they're state records.

00:12:40.000 So in accessing and getting, there's been a whole fight between the state.

00:12:44.000 And the federal government, with respect to their ability to get in there and the subpoenas that they issued.

00:12:48.000 And it's not a court order deadline.

00:12:51.000 It's a court order deadline that they say you can only deal with these records for X period of time.

00:12:54.000 You can understand why they're going to call July 17th a specific deadline.

00:12:58.000 It was a very ponderous type of thing where you had the government putting a self imposed deadline of July 17th.

00:13:06.000 And let's get as fantastical as possible.

00:13:10.000 Just pie in the sky.

00:13:12.000 It's never going to happen stuff.

00:13:13.000 Like when Roseanne came on the show and said there'd be military tribunals.

00:13:16.000 If Trump.

00:13:18.000 If it's true, according to this reporting, that he's going to accuse Ossoff and Warnock of being illegitimate, there is a microscopic possibility that he will accuse them of some kind of legal impropriety.

00:13:31.000 Pie in the sky, maybe that's not the right way to describe it because it's actually really terrifying, but if Trump were going to arrest a sitting politician for election fraud, he would probably announce it to the nation before making the move.

00:13:44.000 You wouldn't just go in and arrest a senator without notice because people would freak out if it happened.

00:13:48.000 If Trump comes out, And then says, Here's the evidence that these individuals were party to election fraud, manipulation, and interference.

00:13:55.000 We will be issuing an indictment, or we have an indictment to be issued.

00:14:01.000 He would go about it this way for PR reasons.

00:14:03.000 Now, as I said, as fantastical as possible.

00:14:05.000 What is actually going to happen is he's going to come out and go, It's not fair.

00:14:08.000 It's not fair.

00:14:09.000 Have a nice day.

00:14:09.000 Thank you.

00:14:10.000 It'd be hilarious if, as he's doing this speech, an FBI task force swoops in and just picks them both up.

00:14:18.000 Hilarious?

00:14:19.000 It'd be like a dream come true.

00:14:20.000 It would be hilarious.

00:14:21.000 What if he gave them 24 hours to turn themselves in on national team?

00:14:26.000 Why?

00:14:26.000 They didn't give Roger Stone any time.

00:14:27.000 No, it's true, but like.

00:14:28.000 That's the thing.

00:14:29.000 So, but the reality is, nothing's going to happen. 0.99

00:14:32.000 Nobody has the balls in this country. 0.99

00:14:33.000 Look at Amy Coney Barrett, right? 1.00

00:14:35.000 Of course.

00:14:36.000 We looked at the data showing her opinions before Dobbs and then after. 0.99

00:14:41.000 She may as well be in the corner of a room crying in the field position.

00:14:47.000 My pie in the sky is not that we get arrests because I think that this Ossoff guy, I was just told over the last weekend when I was at the Take Back America tour that he's the frontrunner for the Democratic Party for president.

00:15:00.000 Newsom is.

00:15:00.000 He's not.

00:15:01.000 Or one of, yeah, he might become one of the top contenders.

00:15:03.000 So.

00:15:04.000 Arresting him in some kind of thing that he might be might make him a superstar, so let's ease off the gas here.

00:15:10.000 But what I want Trump to do pie in the sky is say, like, we are securing elections because sometimes dictators will be like, we're securing the election, and they make it like only you can vote for them, okay?

00:15:18.000 Right, but what I want is like legit digital solving these, these like Dominion blockchain problems, say it, you know, you want to say it open source software machines for voting.

00:15:27.000 And like, I know Dominion sold to another company now, they're owned by another company.

00:15:30.000 Anytime, anytime, let me just real quick, I'm gonna pull up the because you mentioned Asaf as a front runner, yeah.

00:15:34.000 We got this from the CalShee.

00:15:35.000 Prediction markets, Newsom is the favorite 21% in the prediction markets, followed by Ocasio Cortez and Asaf tied at 15%.

00:15:43.000 So it is true he is a major contender for 2028, but he is not the favorite.

00:15:48.000 To be fair, I don't know if Newsom actually has what it takes. 0.86

00:15:52.000 So it could be Asaf.

00:15:53.000 Yeah, Newsom's got the leftover name recognition.

00:15:56.000 Asaf's a new name.

00:15:57.000 I just heard him for the first time last week.

00:15:59.000 But if Trump comes out and says that they were involved in election fraud stuff, he's had major national commercials going out.

00:16:09.000 Really?

00:16:10.000 Yeah.

00:16:10.000 You know, my view is I believe that the Democrats and Republicans of the, you know, pre Trump were deferential to China.

00:16:17.000 And that was the plan the whole time moving the U.S. manufacturing base to China, moving trade, moving banking, and then shifting the wealth of the elites to China so that eventually the U.S. falters.

00:16:28.000 They move the economic center to China and the wealthy keep their wealth.

00:16:34.000 It's that old question of when the emperor comes to the small kingdom and tells the king, drop your swords and bend the knee.

00:16:41.000 And the king says, we'll fight you to the bitter end.

00:16:43.000 And the king says, Don't fight me.

00:16:45.000 I'll make you a lord in the country.

00:16:47.000 You'll have wealth and women forever, and you have everything you've ever wanted.

00:16:50.000 And he says, Okay.

00:16:51.000 Bribe the subservience.

00:16:52.000 Right. 0.98

00:16:53.000 Would you rather be a wealthy lord in a great kingdom, or would you rather be dead?

00:16:57.000 Is the old warlord argument.

00:17:00.000 And so the idea is that back in the late 80s and early 90s, the US, the politicians, and the industrialists were like, Look, we're not going to be able to beat China, they're ascendant. 0.54

00:17:08.000 So let's transfer our wealth over there.

00:17:10.000 Then when the US falls as the unipolar power, we'll all be set for life.

00:17:15.000 So imagine what happens when Trump gets into office and he goes, and the first thing Michael Flynn says is, Russia is not our biggest enemy.

00:17:21.000 China is.

00:17:23.000 These elites who have been building up their wealth in China for a long time, how about a president and son who flew to China to negotiate investment deals?

00:17:31.000 Imagine what they must be thinking when they see Trump get in saying, I'm going to shut all this down.

00:17:35.000 They're thinking, decades of hard work and wealth transfer is about to be erased.

00:17:39.000 Everything we've built for 30, 40 years erased.

00:17:42.000 Trump must be stopped.

00:17:44.000 That's what I think they're doing.

00:17:45.000 And that's why I think Trump coming out now and saying China was involved in stealing the election, I think it's true. 1.00

00:17:51.000 I've had fascinating conversations last week. 1.00

00:17:53.000 I mentioned it's like the Take Back America tour is aligned with the Democratic Party.

00:17:56.000 So it's nice to be involved with people in that sphere and understand.

00:17:59.000 Like, we were talking about fascism because they were like down with fascism.

00:18:02.000 Like, you know, Federal Reserve is, it's not real.

00:18:04.000 Real fascism is religious adherence to your government's authority.

00:18:09.000 They're just saying, you're the bad guy.

00:18:11.000 So I redirected the conversation to the Federal Reserve.

00:18:11.000 Yeah.

00:18:13.000 And then I told them about the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland that the Federal Reserve reports to, that oversees the Bank of England, the Bank of Australia, the New York Federal Reserve.

00:18:22.000 And they go through this Swiss bank that kind of controls the economics of these three systems.

00:18:28.000 And they were all, I mean, essentially opened up to this new information about the real problem.

00:18:33.000 This organization through the banks have been trying to turn us into a communist technocracy using the Chinese model.

00:18:39.000 And they have been doing it for 40 years.

00:18:41.000 So this is a big disruption to the plants.

00:18:43.000 I would bet the people that you were talking to, it went in one ear and out the other.

00:18:46.000 Fortunately, not.

00:18:47.000 They were not there.

00:18:48.000 That is not a compelling argument to people on the left generally because it's the same argument that libertarians have been making for decades.

00:18:56.000 But I was spending time with like highly intelligent people.

00:18:59.000 You know, orchestrators of movements.

00:19:00.000 It wasn't just random people in crowds.

00:19:02.000 It was like nice to have intellectual conversations about global economics.

00:19:06.000 I hope you're right, but I still think that because, again, these arguments, like, you know, talking about the banking system and stuff like that, it's been, you know, almost common knowledge, at least, you know, for people that are aware of like libertarianism and libertarian arguments.

00:19:21.000 It's been common knowledge for, you know, two decades, three decades or whatever.

00:19:27.000 That's 2% of the population.

00:19:28.000 That's not your regular American. 0.92

00:19:30.000 I think calling attention to the evil of China and how they're evil, not just saying China, but actually identifying how they're a threat to us is important. 0.99

00:19:40.000 But there's nothing stupider. 0.98

00:19:41.000 He's actually going to go after Assoff tonight. 0.99

00:19:43.000 There is nothing stupider than trying to persecute him politically, like legally through legal channels.

00:19:49.000 That's exactly how Trump went from being a relatively dead candidate at the end of 2021, 2022, into ascending into an unstoppable force in the 2024 election. 0.96

00:19:59.000 Yeah, but that assumes that's as far as Trump is willing to go.

00:20:03.000 They tried putting Trump in jail and they lost.

00:20:05.000 If Trump is willing to put Asaf or Warnock or others in jail and he succeeds, then he succeeds.

00:20:10.000 End of story.

00:20:11.000 You'd think he'd learn it.

00:20:12.000 He would have learned, though, that that could make them just more powerful.

00:20:16.000 Yeah, but the argument that, again, we don't know what he's going to say about Asaf or Warnock.

00:20:20.000 I'm not going to, I don't want to put it in the comments.

00:20:22.000 They did anything criminal.

00:20:24.000 I'm just saying they tried to put Trump in jail for fake reasons.

00:20:27.000 Right.

00:20:28.000 The question is this argument is, oh, but if you do it, they'll do it.

00:20:32.000 I don't play that game.

00:20:32.000 No, no, no.

00:20:34.000 They won't do it if you win.

00:20:35.000 This argument that if we abolish the filibuster, then they're going to do it too.

00:20:39.000 Not if we win.

00:20:40.000 If we get rid of the filibuster and then we steamroll through the Save Act and other changes and reforms, they're never going to win again.

00:20:47.000 They're going to do it if you don't do it.

00:20:49.000 You let them in, then they will take the power if you don't do it.

00:20:51.000 It's the inverse.

00:20:52.000 When they were trying to put Trump in jail, I feel like even if they thought they win because they actually got him in jail, I felt like there would have been a violent revolution in the United States, like a Caesar like overthrow of the government by his angry followers.

00:21:04.000 I'm glad.

00:21:04.000 Because he didn't get imprisoned, we didn't have that.

00:21:06.000 We had a peaceful transfer of power.

00:21:08.000 I disagree because the right hasn't taken any kind of organized action to talk about.

00:21:15.000 They don't even have organized.

00:21:16.000 The most impactful thing the right has done thus far is buy CBS.

00:21:20.000 And that's big, don't get me wrong, but it's a long term play.

00:21:20.000 Yeah.

00:21:23.000 It's a good play, but it's not doing anything definitively at the moment in terms of forcing people out, putting people in jail.

00:21:30.000 That's why if Trump does something crazy today, it could actually be impactful.

00:21:35.000 And I don't know if this is compelling to people or not, but I described the right.

00:21:39.000 And the left use of violence like this, right?

00:21:42.000 Like the left uses violence like a knob.

00:21:45.000 The right looks at violence like a switch.

00:21:47.000 The right does everything they can to avoid violence, right?

00:21:51.000 Like, sure, there are people that are crazy, people that are one offs and stuff like that, but they don't organize the same way that the left does.

00:21:57.000 The people on the left, the people that are organizers, they intentionally get people that are kind of on the crazy side out there to throw the bricks.

00:22:05.000 They make sure that they have the necessary tools to riot and stuff like that.

00:22:11.000 So they'll turn the violence up and down.

00:22:13.000 People on the right don't behave like that.

00:22:15.000 And should there ever be a time where violence from the right happens, it's going to be totally different.

00:22:22.000 And I don't think that just Trump going to jail would be enough to get the right to actually be violent, because I think it would take significant violence from the left to get them the right to respond to violence.

00:22:32.000 Let's do this.

00:22:32.000 I want to jump to the story from the Wall Street Journal.

00:22:34.000 This is big news on the war.

00:22:36.000 U.S. targets Iranian bridges in bid to choke off regime supply routes.

00:22:40.000 Now, I don't actually care about the nitty gritty, the ins and outs of the war that's going on.

00:22:44.000 The war is bad.

00:22:45.000 I'm not a big fan.

00:22:46.000 I understand why Trump is doing it, but you don't need a play by play every single day.

00:22:50.000 Just know that we have this latest escalation targeting Iranian bridges.

00:22:53.000 Now, the question is why?

00:22:55.000 We've got this from oilprice.com, and one line summarizes everything.

00:23:00.000 China cut crude imports by more than 44% during the war's first phase, spending down a billion barrel stockpile it built specifically for this kind of shock.

00:23:10.000 What does it actually mean?

00:23:12.000 China did not cut crude imports.

00:23:15.000 China had their crude imports cut.

00:23:18.000 Trump's war in Iran, or I shouldn't say Trump's, but the U.S. going to war in Iran, blame Trump or whoever you want to blame.

00:23:24.000 Cut off the Strait of Hormuz and isolated China from around half of their energy imports.

00:23:30.000 This is the principal reason, I think, when you look at all of the data.

00:23:33.000 Now Trump is coming out and he's going to blame China for election meddling and interference. 0.50

00:23:38.000 I got to say, on top of this news, we've got report, it's been going on for a while, that China has been building mock U.S. buildings and destroyers to prepare for war against the United States.

00:23:49.000 And we've had some national security sources, friends of the show, say they believe that the U.S. will be at war in the next few years, a major war with China. 0.96

00:23:57.000 I believe it. 0.86

00:23:58.000 Yeah, I mean, look, China is absolutely an adversary. 0.98

00:24:01.000 We have allowed China to behave in ways that are incredibly detrimental to the United States, to not just our economy, but to the population. 0.97

00:24:10.000 They're continuously trying to smuggle in blights, like contaminated trees and plants and stuff like that. 0.95

00:24:20.000 There are actually enclaves that are being policed by China in the U.S., there were definitely in Canada.

00:24:27.000 There's police stations in New York.

00:24:28.000 There's like these secret Chinese police stations.

00:24:30.000 And not to mention the, what is it, 1.5 million American born Chinese people who are being raised in China as Chinese citizens.

00:24:38.000 I actually talked to this woman who was a Hong Kong dissident who is essentially in exile in the UK because the CCP put a bounty on her head.

00:24:47.000 And she was saying that in China, for the most part, if you are a student who wants to study in the US, you're vetted by the CCP before you can go.

00:25:00.000 You know, their eyes on anybody who's coming here to study from China. 0.95

00:25:03.000 And that's probably going to be, you know, we have to watch out, I think, for the birthright people, the like, the birth tourism. 0.96

00:25:10.000 Yeah, that's China. 0.96

00:25:11.000 And like China, I've said this a bunch of times before every single Chinese national is a point of, is a possible point of espionage because China has no compunction with telling someone that's here, even if they're here legally, they were born here, that has family in China, they have no compunction with telling those people, we're going to throw your family in jail. 0.75

00:25:33.000 We're going to destroy their lives if you don't do this for us. 0.53

00:25:36.000 And there's never mind all of the illegals that came in during the Biden administration.

00:25:41.000 No one knows how many Chinese came in.

00:25:43.000 We don't know if there were tens of thousands or what have you. 1.00

00:25:47.000 And that is a serious national security threat. 0.87

00:25:50.000 They rule by outright tyranny, but I don't think we're looking at a potential here for a Chinese hot war that's going to be, you know, troops squaring off against each other.

00:25:59.000 When you talk about us conflicting with China, so we have essentially what Tim is describing as a proxy war that we're. 0.54

00:26:06.000 We're hitting their supplier and making it hard for them to access their oil reserves that they would want to be able to purchase from Iran.

00:26:15.000 But that's not a hot word.

00:26:18.000 I don't envision that.

00:26:19.000 I envision exactly what you're describing, Libby, or what you're talking about here with respect to subverting us, using our own regulations against us, using birthright citizenship, sending them in for the birthright tourism to try and generate generations after generations, theoretically, of communists.

00:26:35.000 That's what the war with communism has been about for the last 50, 60 years when we had a Cold War and now.

00:26:42.000 It's not about trying to engage us physically and beat us militarily, it's about beating us economically and subverting the attitudes.

00:26:50.000 Particularly of our youth to try and make them come along into recognizing the growing rise of communism and Marxism.

00:26:56.000 That's what you see happening.

00:26:57.000 And it's working, it's being effective.

00:27:00.000 You look at Mamdani, at Kami Mamdani in New York City, you look at the rise of AOC and the West Coast of California with Gavin Newsom and the politicians who are rising up into superstar socialists.

00:27:15.000 That's the real problem is that breeding culture amongst our youth today.

00:27:19.000 That's how they'll come after us.

00:27:20.000 Well, I don't think you're wrong. 0.70

00:27:23.000 Any of the stuff that you laid out, but I also think that China is.

00:27:26.000 I mean, they've made it pretty clear that they still consider Taiwan Chinese territory.

00:27:31.000 They consider some of the uh islands that Japan there's there's conflict over who actually owns some of the islands because Japan is a massive archipelago, it's not just the one mainland of Japan.

00:27:43.000 I mean, Okinawa, which has the third marine division, or at least it had the third marine division for a long time, there's still a huge marine corps base there.

00:27:50.000 Um, like that is like probably two thirds of the way away from mainland Japan.

00:27:56.000 Towards Taiwan.

00:27:57.000 It's very close.

00:27:58.000 And I don't like China's been making all kinds of effort to basically say that the whole South China Sea is theirs.

00:28:05.000 They really are looking, they're flexing their muscles and they're trying to expand.

00:28:09.000 And I wouldn't be surprised, wouldn't be particularly surprised if there was some kind of conflict that came about in the next five, six, seven years.

00:28:16.000 That would only be if we actually have sufficient interest in Taiwan, ultimately.

00:28:19.000 I mean, the reason we have an interest in them today is it's a financial super chip issue as far as that they're able to provide us with something that we can uniquely get from them.

00:28:27.000 And the concept that, MAG has had is that we want to start developing that and find a way to develop that at home so we're not dependent on China or on Taiwan.

00:28:36.000 So, when we get to a point that we don't need those super chips from Taiwan anymore, in that case, frankly, we shouldn't be doing any of this.

00:28:44.000 This is the issue that I find with progressives.

00:28:46.000 Most of them don't exist in a world of foreign policy.

00:28:50.000 So, they say things like the United States is evil, and it's like, as compared to whom?

00:28:55.000 And they say things like, when was America great?

00:28:58.000 And I say, when we weren't deferential to foreign powers and we had the dominant.

00:29:03.000 Global manufacturing base.

00:29:05.000 And this meant that you could have a high school diploma and afford to have your own house and a stay at home wife with three kids.

00:29:12.000 That's when America was great.

00:29:14.000 What they do is because they don't understand the concept of foreign policy, it's as if the only country on the planet is the United States.

00:29:20.000 In their mind, making America great means white supremacy for some reason.

00:29:24.000 Because they can't imagine what China is doing to their people.

00:29:27.000 But it's also so weird, right?

00:29:28.000 Because you have the progressive left both hating America and being even more American exceptionalist than anybody else. 0.97

00:29:35.000 Because you have them saying, You know, everybody should get to come to the United States because it's not good in their country and they want a better life here, but America sucks. 0.83

00:29:43.000 And those things are incompatible, right?

00:29:46.000 Like, why do illegal immigrants need to come here if their countries are also fine? 0.66

00:29:51.000 But the progressive left says that they're not.

00:29:53.000 And when they look out at the world, like you're saying, they only see the United States, they don't see all of the other countries.

00:30:00.000 And it's because the other countries don't really matter to them.

00:30:03.000 They only are focused on the oppressor victim mentality.

00:30:08.000 And, you know, they say that America is the only country.

00:30:10.000 So it, That's sort of how they act about things, you know?

00:30:14.000 I think it's interesting.

00:30:15.000 Yep.

00:30:16.000 If you appreciate free speech, I think global dominance takes on another meaning because if we don't control, I don't know if control is a white word, but police preserve the world order with our military, our way of life will disappear.

00:30:16.000 Yeah.

00:30:32.000 Free speech is not on the agenda of the liberal economic order.

00:30:34.000 It wants corporate.

00:30:36.000 So, what do you suggest that we need to stop countries who might supplant us, disrupt our trade, or send terrorists? 0.85

00:30:43.000 I mean that literally. 0.52

00:30:45.000 You said we should use our military to defend our way of life.

00:30:47.000 Yeah, really.

00:30:48.000 I'm asking, are you saying the U.S. should intervene in countries that are a growing threat to the interventionism?

00:30:56.000 Yeah.

00:30:57.000 Ooh, that's a case by case system. 1.00

00:30:59.000 Because China, I don't like it. 1.00

00:31:00.000 I like the idea of maybe spending 12 years refabricating on our mainland before we give Taiwan back to the Chinese. 1.00

00:31:07.000 What do you mean give? 0.98

00:31:08.000 We don't. 0.98

00:31:08.000 Back. 0.98

00:31:09.000 Yeah, we don't.

00:31:10.000 It's not ours.

00:31:11.000 Yeah, but it's not ours. 0.71

00:31:13.000 No, it's not the United States.

00:31:14.000 Before we relaunch our.

00:31:16.000 Is China.

00:31:17.000 Mainland China was the communist takeover. 0.68

00:31:19.000 Right.

00:31:19.000 And the Republic of China.

00:31:20.000 So we should give back the mainland to the Republic of China.

00:31:23.000 The Chinese Communist Party should give back China to the Republic and make the Chinese a republic again, which was what they're supposed to be.

00:31:29.000 And believe it or an empire for thousands of years. 0.53

00:31:32.000 It's this clear.

00:31:33.000 The uniparty machine thinks they're better than you.

00:31:37.000 And they would prefer a system by which the elites control everything and you only pretend.

00:31:42.000 We have to prove to them.

00:31:44.000 Trump and MAGA is populism, we're going to win.

00:31:47.000 And the uniparty is we're going to let you think you're winning, but we're always in control.

00:31:52.000 We have to prove.

00:31:53.000 Economically, probably to the world, that the American decentralized way of life is better than their totalitarian centralized systems.

00:32:00.000 We have to show it.

00:32:01.000 In the next 20 years, we have to economically prove that living on a farmstead can create more bounty than hoping the government gets your check paid to you on time. 1.00

00:32:12.000 And then people will overthrow their bullshit. 1.00

00:32:14.000 No, no, no. 1.00

00:32:15.000 That is an uncompelling argument.

00:32:17.000 It's boring, but that's a truth.

00:32:18.000 No, no, no.

00:32:19.000 It's not boring.

00:32:20.000 It's uncompelling.

00:32:22.000 You're offering people working on a farm.

00:32:25.000 Or sitting at home playing video games while the government gives you checks.

00:32:29.000 I know.

00:32:29.000 That is not the thing.

00:32:30.000 You gotta show them that the farm is a better way of life.

00:32:32.000 You are not gonna show them anything.

00:32:35.000 They're gonna show you the door and say, I am getting DoorDash.

00:32:38.000 Yeah, but if you make videos and you do YouTube videos of you with your chicken, about combining people, see how lovely the world can be.

00:32:45.000 Have you met a progressive?

00:32:46.000 Otherwise, what do you got?

00:32:48.000 It's just gonna be centralized, top down.

00:32:49.000 I mean, you have to show them that.

00:32:50.000 Hold on.

00:32:52.000 Decentralized governance is better.

00:32:53.000 Ian, one day when you're older, you will find people.

00:32:57.000 Who will say one thing and do another?

00:32:59.000 And I guarantee you, if you go to two progressives, I'll make a bet with you right now.

00:33:05.000 How much money do you think I got to give some progressive to make them a conservative?

00:33:10.000 How much money?

00:33:12.000 How long do you want them to stay conservative?

00:33:14.000 Forever.

00:33:15.000 Oh, you'll have to pay them regularly then.

00:33:16.000 That's right.

00:33:16.000 That's exactly what the government's doing.

00:33:18.000 That's my point.

00:33:19.000 My point is, I can go to any one of these progressives that appear in these debate shows and say, here's what we'll do I'll give you a five year contract, we'll pay you $150,000 a year.

00:33:30.000 But we want you to be more moderate.

00:33:31.000 Can you do that?

00:33:32.000 They're going to say, Done.

00:33:32.000 Absolutely.

00:33:33.000 They're going to say, Oh, I'm not a big fan of the far left anyway.

00:33:36.000 And then what we do is we say, We'll do a six month probation just to make sure we're all happy.

00:33:41.000 Six months later, I'll come back and say, We think you're a little bit too progressive.

00:33:45.000 You don't got to say you're supporting Trump or anything, but I think you can still lean into some of these more right leaning arguments to feel balanced.

00:33:50.000 And then we just, they'll say, Okay.

00:33:53.000 I'll tell you what, dude.

00:33:53.000 I could go to a progressive and I can tell them, If I write you a check for $100,000, I want you to make a PSA saying you support Donald Trump.

00:34:00.000 And you apologize for being progressive, they're going to say yes.

00:34:02.000 But wouldn't then they later be like, well, I was bribed to say it all?

00:34:05.000 No, you know why?

00:34:06.000 Because then they have to admit that they were grifting the whole time.

00:34:08.000 They'd rather just take the $100,000 and then be a conservative.

00:34:11.000 Your argument that it's a better option will be to bribe no, my argument is if you go to people and you say your option is roll up your sleeves and do the hard work and be happy, or we'll give you money for free, they'll say, Give me the money for free, and you can show them everything you want, and they will tell you, I understand the value of hard work and why it's important.

00:34:32.000 But given the opportunity, I'll choose the free money.

00:34:35.000 I mean, look, man, not for nothing, but like you're sitting here talking about like you should be a homesteader, you don't have a homestead yourself, right?

00:34:41.000 Like, you don't, you don't, you don't, you're not out there like.

00:34:44.000 Living off the land or any of that.

00:34:45.000 Buying a farm, you know.

00:34:46.000 I got to say.

00:34:46.000 What?

00:34:47.000 Buying a farm right now.

00:34:48.000 Listen, I got to say, like, I bought a house after, you know, apartment living for many, many years, and I still can't even figure out how to weed my garden.

00:34:56.000 I bought a tree, it died.

00:34:58.000 Like, I have no idea what I'm doing.

00:34:59.000 It's really, really easy.

00:35:00.000 What you do is you get in your car, you drive down to Home Depot, and you go, Trabajo.

00:35:00.000 I explain.

00:35:05.000 No, but I got a kid and everything.

00:35:07.000 I just force him outside, and then he comes in and he's like, It's hot.

00:35:11.000 Yeah.

00:35:12.000 And I'm like, You want some lunch?

00:35:13.000 I mean, he's like, What you need to do is you got to lean into gender roles.

00:35:16.000 Right.

00:35:17.000 Be like, look, I'm going to make sandwiches, okay?

00:35:19.000 I do make sandwiches.

00:35:20.000 Are you kidding?

00:35:22.000 I know, but like, see, the funny thing is when men are like, they make the joke about women being in the kitchen, the woman should respond with, yeah, it's air conditioned and clean, and I'll just make a sandwich.

00:35:34.000 You go do the labor.

00:35:35.000 Like, it's the weirdest thing.

00:35:36.000 It's an insult.

00:35:37.000 Like, you get to stay in the air conditioning while I do sweaty labor.

00:35:40.000 It's like, okay.

00:35:41.000 Sarah's got that down pat.

00:35:45.000 That's the emotional subservience that.

00:35:47.000 Everyone naturally feels an inability to feel subservient without feeling as if it's demeaning to them as an individual.

00:35:53.000 So that's why it could be the greatest job on earth where all you have to do is make one sandwich for your man and carry on a nice play for them.

00:36:00.000 But the subservience makes it not worth it to them.

00:36:03.000 Right.

00:36:04.000 There's this movie.

00:36:05.000 Early in my marriage, I knew that my son's dad's grandma had accepted me as part of the family.

00:36:14.000 Whenever we would go over in Northeast Philly, she would make sandwiches for everybody.

00:36:19.000 And one day she said, Do you want to make his sandwich, hon?

00:36:22.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:36:23.000 And I was like, Okay, now I'm part of the family.

00:36:25.000 I get it.

00:36:26.000 There's this movie.

00:36:27.000 I can't remember what the movie was called, where like a guy gets a genie.

00:36:32.000 No, Keanu Reeves is in it.

00:36:33.000 What is it called?

00:36:34.000 And then he wishes he was like Seth Rogen hires an assistant.

00:36:37.000 I think he's on Sarah's, and then I'm not sure.

00:36:39.000 I don't remember.

00:36:40.000 But then he wishes he had the wealthy life.

00:36:42.000 And then he and Seth Rogen switch places.

00:36:43.000 And then.

00:36:44.000 And then trading places.

00:36:45.000 It's something like that.

00:36:46.000 And Keanu Reeves is like, Now that you realize it's not all it's cracked up to be, don't you want to go back?

00:36:50.000 And he's like, No.

00:36:52.000 He's like, I sit around all day.

00:36:53.000 This is fantastic.

00:36:53.000 I'm rich.

00:36:54.000 And he's like, but you need to give him his life back and go back to your life.

00:36:56.000 And he's like, why would I do that? 0.97

00:36:58.000 My life sucked. 0.65

00:36:59.000 Yeah, it's funny. 0.96

00:37:00.000 The point ultimately is this good fortune, isn't it?

00:37:03.000 Good fortune.

00:37:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:37:04.000 That was funny.

00:37:05.000 Keanu Reeves is hilarious in it.

00:37:06.000 He's like a bad, he's bad at what he does.

00:37:09.000 Anyway, there can be any, like most human beings will tell you that they believe hard work is important.

00:37:15.000 And then if you offer them a life of leisure without having to do hard work, they'll take in two seconds.

00:37:19.000 You don't have to make people do farm work.

00:37:21.000 But you've got to show them how exciting it can be.

00:37:23.000 Well, if you can get a lot of fun, what's that?

00:37:26.000 Whitewashing?

00:37:27.000 So, it's so much fun.

00:37:28.000 I mean, I'll let you do it, but it's an extreme example.

00:37:32.000 It's like an extreme example.

00:37:33.000 If you can get people to get excited about being an American farmer, like that's a big win.

00:37:38.000 You're not going to do that.

00:37:40.000 I think I've seen that from a TV ad.

00:37:42.000 They're seeing like a bunch of smiling farmers on a farm walking out with their little daughter to the showing her how to use the farm.

00:37:48.000 I don't agree.

00:37:49.000 There's Instagram channels.

00:37:50.000 I mean, that's so much fun.

00:37:51.000 Do you even have like the first idea to teach my daughter how to do an investment you have to have?

00:37:55.000 How much money do you have to have to actually start a farm?

00:37:58.000 Or to be prepared to lose money for years?

00:38:00.000 Yeah, I mean, you, like, just, I mean, a tractor, right?

00:38:03.000 Like, an old beat up tractor is going to cost you 50 grand or something.

00:38:07.000 You got to look at open sourcing, like, half a million dollars.

00:38:07.000 Oh, it's win one then.

00:38:09.000 Half a million dollars.

00:38:11.000 Just a regular tractor?

00:38:13.000 If you want an industrial grade actual.

00:38:16.000 You've got to build your own.

00:38:17.000 There's this guy, Marcin Jakobowski.

00:38:19.000 Now it's not just buying a farm, it's building your own farm.

00:38:22.000 Check out Marcin Jakobowski's open source ecology because he put all the schematics to build the 18 farm machines you're going to need to run your own farm.

00:38:30.000 You build them part by part.

00:38:31.000 You can.

00:38:32.000 Yeah, do you know how much the parts are going to cost?

00:38:33.000 Phil, Phil, they're between $200,000 and $650,000 with the high end tractors being $1 million.

00:38:39.000 Yeah, you're going to need to pay people to come fix them.

00:38:41.000 You've got to build your own.

00:38:42.000 I'm talking like.

00:38:42.000 That's a lot of money.

00:38:43.000 I'm talking, I'm anyway.

00:38:44.000 You can get it used though, yeah, for 100k, yeah, but so yeah, but the point that I'm making is like the idea of just like, hey man, go start a farm, like that is not happening for 99% of people that you're talking about.

00:38:58.000 Look at this, these things are a John Deere 9620R, $386,000.

00:39:03.000 Yeah, I'm talking, yeah, no joke.

00:39:05.000 Look at open, what's happening here?

00:39:07.000 Are you telling me that the struggle to get people to buy into farms is the cost of a tractor or the fact that 99% of people who have never set foot on a farm?

00:39:15.000 Have absolutely no interest in going to a farm, visiting a farm, milking a cow, much less getting up at crack of dawn and working actual physical labor.

00:39:24.000 Oh, that sounds like the greatest.

00:39:25.000 Don't we have like I'm not saying you don't like it, you don't love it, but I'm just saying people who haven't grown up in that society, there's no point in trying to convince them to do it.

00:39:34.000 I don't know what we're right.

00:39:34.000 That's why what we do is all those people go to the island, right?

00:39:39.000 And the rest of us can wake up in the morning, roll up our sleeves with a smile on our face, and tend to the chickens.

00:39:43.000 There was a time where in the United States, I think it was something like 75 or 80 percent of the people that lived here.

00:39:49.000 We're in agriculture now, it's less than two percent, and it's like, and we're all miserable and on antidepressants.

00:39:55.000 Well, I mean, people have to get back to working with animals when they were happy.

00:39:59.000 We really do have a disconnect though between like this whole striver thing and this almost accepted downward mobility.

00:40:07.000 You know, I mean, I've been thinking about this a lot because you know, my son's going to go to college and whatever, and he wants to do that, and um, I'm supportive of what he wants to do.

00:40:15.000 You know, for a minute, he wanted to join the army, and then he was like, no, I'm not doing that, so whatever.

00:40:19.000 Anyway, but my point is.

00:40:22.000 We do have this real disconnect where a lot of society is just comfortable without trying to work hard to achieve something.

00:40:30.000 It doesn't have any real goals.

00:40:32.000 And I'm wondering, has it always been like that?

00:40:34.000 Or is that sort of a new thing where you have this kind of like, you know, striver economy that people are just like trying to rack up different kinds of status or whatever that is?

00:40:43.000 This is why we have to make podcasts illegal.

00:40:45.000 Make podcasts illegal.

00:40:46.000 Yeah, because everybody's got one and they shouldn't.

00:40:47.000 That's probably true.

00:40:49.000 It's a good supplement for whatever else you do.

00:40:51.000 It shouldn't be your main gig.

00:40:52.000 We've had enough, everybody.

00:40:53.000 We don't need podcasts.

00:40:53.000 Like YouTube shouldn't be your main gig.

00:40:55.000 I always found podcasts.

00:40:56.000 Having a thing I do that I'm good at, like acting in the entertainment, then I'll come make a YouTube video and like talk about what I do and then go back to my real stuff.

00:41:03.000 It's a good supplement.

00:41:04.000 But people that just, it's like a lifelong politician.

00:41:07.000 If all you do is just talk to a camera.

00:41:08.000 Chevron has a podcast now.

00:41:10.000 Chevron.

00:41:12.000 My local bank has its own podcast.

00:41:14.000 Enough.

00:41:15.000 We don't need it.

00:41:16.000 We don't need it.

00:41:17.000 Coming back to this, the promise of the preamble that we're enabling people to have life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, a lot of people lose the point that. 1.00

00:41:28.000 That the promise of America, which is ironic, I'm bringing this up the day after Biden drops his stupid memoir, Promise Me America, or whatever stupid thing he has. 0.99

00:41:38.000 The commercial itself was just a laugh a minute. 1.00

00:41:41.000 It was a laugh riot.

00:41:42.000 It was actually, yeah, a laugh every 12 seconds.

00:41:44.000 But the whole point is that no one can promise you happiness.

00:41:49.000 The only way you actually attain genuine happiness is through your own pursuit of happiness.

00:41:54.000 So trying to sell people that they should go in this direction, whether it's farming or that direction, you need, in order for people to actually find genuine happiness, they have to.

00:42:01.000 Pursue their own happiness.

00:42:02.000 If someone gifted Tim Pool with this podcasting gig over here, it's not nearly the same self satisfaction you have from building it.

00:42:10.000 That's where your ultimate genuine happiness comes.

00:42:14.000 You ever see those guys, they used to sell CDs on the side of the street?

00:42:14.000 There's an old trick.

00:42:18.000 You walked down the street?

00:42:19.000 They never gave the CDs away for free because people who get free stuff throw it in the garbage.

00:42:23.000 Yep.

00:42:23.000 But if you bought it for a dollar or five dollars, you'd be like, I paid for this.

00:42:26.000 There's a band that I'm not going to say their name, but they used to get, when they would get free CDs from other bands, like young bands trying to go out.

00:42:35.000 They were like, oh, we got another band from 70 Mile An Hour Records.

00:42:39.000 And be like, what are you talking about?

00:42:40.000 They would literally just throw it out the window because they got it for free.

00:42:43.000 There's no value in it, you know?

00:42:45.000 Yeah, you.

00:42:45.000 And then nobody has CD players anymore either.

00:42:47.000 But I do want to.

00:42:48.000 I'll just catch up to the story.

00:42:49.000 And then my last thing is like, it's not necessarily about showing people to become farmers, but it's showing them to commit 14 hours a day into the things you love doing.

00:42:56.000 Day after day after day.

00:42:56.000 100%.

00:42:57.000 It really pays off.

00:42:58.000 Yes, but the problem is the things people love doing are not economically viable anymore.

00:43:02.000 That's why I brought up farming.

00:43:03.000 Back when everybody worked on a farm, The things people enjoyed doing was farm work.

00:43:03.000 I know.

00:43:07.000 You grew up on a farm, your parents farmed, you got good at farming, and then you were excited to show off your chickens at the chicken festival.

00:43:12.000 You'd go to the local county fair and you'd be like, look at my chicken.

00:43:15.000 And they'd be like, oh, you have the best chicken.

00:43:17.000 And they'd give you an award for it.

00:43:18.000 They still do all of this.

00:43:20.000 But for regular Americans after industrialization, they grew up doing literal nothing.

00:43:24.000 They spend the first five years of their lives dicking about with their parents, now just on a tablet doing nothing.

00:43:31.000 Then they go to public school where they get this remedial education, which doesn't really work.

00:43:35.000 Then, by the time they're 13, when they should have, as a human being, a basic understanding of the world and the things they enjoy doing, they've still done nothing.

00:43:42.000 So, what happens is we've programmed an entire generation to enjoy nothing because they've done nothing.

00:43:48.000 And when they go to school and graduate, they're like, all I want to do is sit around and play video games and watch TV.

00:43:52.000 Why?

00:43:53.000 That's what they were doing when they were 13 years old.

00:43:55.000 Now, if you take somebody, look at pro basketball players, football, baseball.

00:43:59.000 What were they doing when they were 13?

00:44:00.000 They were playing Little League, they were playing baseball every single day.

00:44:04.000 They were scoping the craft.

00:44:05.000 And.

00:44:05.000 They want to go and do it.

00:44:07.000 I had a friend who's a pro skateboarder.

00:44:08.000 I have a friend who's a pro skateboarder who said that when they were a kid, they wanted a skateboard, asked their dad to get them one.

00:44:14.000 And then the dad said, You will skateboard every weekend if I get this for you.

00:44:21.000 Kid didn't want to do it.

00:44:22.000 Dad said, You have to.

00:44:23.000 Kid goes up to be a pro skateboarder, skates every day.

00:44:26.000 I asked her, I was like, Are you happy that your parents made you do this?

00:44:29.000 And she was like, Yeah, absolutely.

00:44:31.000 When I was like 13, my parents were like, So what do you want to do with your life?

00:44:34.000 I said, I'm going to be an actor.

00:44:35.000 And I'd been saying that for a few years.

00:44:36.000 My dad was like, Well, if you want to be an actor, then you better start acting.

00:44:38.000 And I was like, Okay.

00:44:40.000 So then you went, jokes on you, Dad.

00:44:41.000 I just was.

00:44:42.000 I don't want to be an actor.

00:44:43.000 Oh, well.

00:44:44.000 They took me to my first audition and then they supported me in the early days.

00:44:47.000 But they were like, if this is what you want to be, you have to start doing it now.

00:44:50.000 And that was when I was like 14.

00:44:52.000 Let's jump to the story from Arizona Family.

00:44:54.000 That's the channel.

00:44:55.000 I guess it's a CBS.

00:44:57.000 Shots fired at ICE Administration Building in Phoenix, FBI says.

00:45:01.000 This is wild.

00:45:02.000 This is the FBI is investigating shots fired at a federal immigration enforcement center.

00:45:07.000 According to the FBI, at least one person fired several rounds and struck the exterior.

00:45:11.000 Of the ICE enforcement and removal operation.

00:45:13.000 No injuries reported.

00:45:14.000 A protest was held outside of the office later that day.

00:45:17.000 So, just so you understand, somebody did, someone shot at a federal building, and then the leftists came to protest the federal building.

00:45:24.000 Yeah.

00:45:24.000 This is where we're currently at in this country.

00:45:27.000 Well, did you see Marco Rubio's speech this morning where he was talking about the scourge of leftist violence and how it's increasing?

00:45:33.000 And he tracked it back to the 60s and 70s, whether underground, the black liberation movement, all of these different things.

00:45:39.000 And it was really fascinating to listen to him talk about it because.

00:45:42.000 Hold on, where can I find this speech?

00:45:44.000 Where can you find this speech?

00:45:45.000 Is it on his.

00:45:47.000 The State Department Twitter.

00:45:48.000 The State Department Twitter.

00:45:49.000 It was early this morning.

00:45:52.000 It was really interesting.

00:45:53.000 I recommend watching it.

00:45:55.000 And then you had Scott Besant come out and talked about how shortly after he was confirmed as Secretary of Treasury, he was the subject of a sort of little terrorist attack.

00:46:06.000 That person is being tried.

00:46:07.000 And we didn't hear a lot about this, but we hear so much still, even after the sort of interrogation of the woke era, we still hear so much about white supremacy and all of this stuff and how they've changed the definition essentially of white supremacy to just mean white person, which is.

00:46:25.000 You know, pretty rude and also false.

00:46:27.000 But I think the Rubio speech is worth listening to, Phil, for sure, because he's talking about how there's just excessive leftist violence and it's pretty much ignored.

00:46:38.000 We've seen it all over the place.

00:46:40.000 There was a protest in Maine, right?

00:46:42.000 After the immigrant guy tried to like ram ICE agents with the car.

00:46:48.000 And every time it's like this initial fierce reaction and then the protests start.

00:46:53.000 And then it turns out that the person was pretty much at fault for doing, you know, whatever thing it was that got them killed.

00:46:59.000 Yeah, I mean, I've been not that, you know, there haven't been a bunch of other people talking about it, but like I've been talking about how much of a problem the left is in the US.

00:47:10.000 And people were swearing up and down.

00:47:12.000 They're like, oh, Donald Trump, you know, 2016, Donald Trump just won.

00:47:15.000 What are you talking about?

00:47:16.000 Blah, We're falling into fascism now.

00:47:18.000 Oh, da, And it's all just misdirection because the left has had control of all of the institutions.

00:47:26.000 They've had control of the institutions of learning, they've had control of the government, even when Republicans are in office.

00:47:33.000 All of the people in the bureau, not all of them, but a massive amount of people in the bureaucracy are leftists.

00:47:39.000 All the people that are giving you the news from the media, they're all basically on the left.

00:47:45.000 And you see some pushback now, and it's really nice to see.

00:47:48.000 But like, there was a time where the only people that were even close to right wing, and that it's not even particularly right wing, was like Fox News, Mitt Romney, and John McCain.

00:48:00.000 Yeah.

00:48:01.000 And Rush Limbaugh was the only guy.

00:48:02.000 Like, Pat Buchanan was around, but he was, you know, persona non grata.

00:48:06.000 You know, it's like he had some legitimately really good takes, but it was just like, oh, you know, we can't talk about Pat Buchanan.

00:48:13.000 And that was like, he was on Mourning Joe for a little while in the early aughts, right?

00:48:16.000 Like that show, back when Joe was still considered a conservative, or, you know, even though he was very much a big government conservative.

00:48:27.000 And then they tossed Buchanan out because he was too far to the right.

00:48:30.000 There's a natural marriage between socialism and education, which is unfortunate, but that's the reality.

00:48:37.000 If you're raised as a small child to recognize that you want to be a good person, that your own validation comes from being a good person.

00:48:46.000 Good parenting is you're going to teach your kid that you need to be a good person.

00:48:49.000 Good person implies selflessness.

00:48:52.000 So there's a natural marriage towards the poison of socialism and education because you take these people who haven't experienced anything, any real hardship, any real work, don't understand what it means to work and attain value, display your value, and to really.

00:49:09.000 Develop disciplines to accomplish something, and you basically tell them you need to be a good person, you need to be a good person.

00:49:14.000 Now they come to high school and to college, so there's a natural marriage that socialism, which is utter and terrible poison and is self destructive.

00:49:24.000 The only promise that can come out of socialism, like real socialism, would be absolute misery because it's depriving the individual of the pursuit of happiness.

00:49:34.000 Just think about how terrible socialism is for a second that if you could give everyone their housing and you can promise them their food and their clothing and their education, you are.

00:49:44.000 Denying them the opportunity to attain that for themselves.

00:49:48.000 So, even if it could work, which it never could possibly work if it was trying, that's why it's failed every single time.

00:49:53.000 But the actual outcome would be that the person would be as miserable as Hunter Biden is, as everyone raised with a silver spoon, as they all are.

00:50:02.000 Why do they all act out with cocaine and have miserable lives?

00:50:05.000 Because they don't feel a sense of accomplishment through the pursuit of happiness.

00:50:09.000 That's what socialism is trying to get to and can never possibly reach.

00:50:14.000 But if they could, it would be a disaster.

00:50:15.000 Are you familiar with Paulo Ferrari?

00:50:17.000 And the book called The Pedagogy of Education.

00:50:21.000 So, this guy wrote a book in the late 70s, I think, and it's called The Pedagogy of Education.

00:50:21.000 No.

00:50:26.000 Essentially, it boils down to you should teach children through a Marxist lens, right?

00:50:32.000 Through power dynamics.

00:50:33.000 So, there are oppressed people and there are oppressors, and that's the way the whole world works.

00:50:38.000 And that basically has become the book that went into the schools of education.

00:50:45.000 So, the schools that teach teachers.

00:50:47.000 And that has filtered through.

00:50:48.000 All of our schooling.

00:50:50.000 So, from whether it used to be just higher education, but then it's got filtered into your high schools and stuff.

00:50:55.000 And now it's even filtered into grade school, right?

00:50:57.000 So, by the early aughts, you had two, three generations, four generations, or two, three, four, five graduating classes of kids that had learned that from grade school all the way through to college, right?

00:51:12.000 This is part of why what you're describing is happening because people have been taught that the world.

00:51:19.000 Is oppressor versus oppressed.

00:51:20.000 And once you put that kind, once you put that mindset in, and people see the world as oppressor versus oppressed, right, you have ruined those people because they can't help but say, well, who's the person that's oppressing here?

00:51:35.000 Who's the person that's being oppressed?

00:51:37.000 Right.

00:51:38.000 And that's what creates the victim Olympics.

00:51:40.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:51:41.000 No, I'm the biggest victim you ever met. 0.76

00:51:43.000 I'm a BIPOC, lesbian, whatever, who's crippled in my left leg. 1.00

00:51:50.000 That way, I now win.

00:51:52.000 I have to get the most validation, the most recognition.

00:51:54.000 I'm the most special of everyone.

00:51:55.000 You need to listen to me and recognize the power of my voice and my thoughts, no matter how mindless I'm babbling and blathering and spewing.

00:52:04.000 And to that point, right?

00:52:06.000 Like you see a lot of young people that were, you know, they would come out and they would say, oh, well, I'm a member of the LGBTQ community because I'm bisexual or whatever.

00:52:14.000 They didn't do anything that actually made them bisexual.

00:52:17.000 Maybe the guys would flirt with the guys, girls would flirt with the girls. 0.73

00:52:20.000 But what it did was it gave them an escape hatch from being basically normal.

00:52:25.000 Right.

00:52:25.000 If you're a white kid in the U.S. and you don't have any kind of like oppression points, you can just go ahead and jump in and say, oh, well, I'm oppressed because I'm a member of the LGBT community.

00:52:35.000 I am tired of millennials and Gen Z claiming that having hobbies is autism.

00:52:41.000 It is the most annoying thing imaginable when they're like, well, I'm really into Pokemon because I'm autistic.

00:52:47.000 No, you have a hobby.

00:52:48.000 People like things.

00:52:49.000 Thank you.

00:52:49.000 Bye.

00:52:50.000 I saw there's a comic where it's this old man and he's talking to a young person and he's like, all this autism popping up.

00:52:56.000 We didn't have any of this when it was, when, when, When I was your age, no one had autism.

00:53:01.000 Oh, look at my train collection.

00:53:02.000 And it's like, bro, having a train collection is not autism.

00:53:05.000 It's called a hobby.

00:53:06.000 But these young people just think autism means like there's things that I like.

00:53:10.000 Yeah.

00:53:11.000 There's nothing that I like.

00:53:12.000 Stop.

00:53:13.000 Yeah.

00:53:13.000 No, go ahead.

00:53:14.000 Oh, categorizing, collecting, and organizing is a very healthy thing for the human brain's memorizational capacity.

00:53:20.000 When every single person who. 0.90

00:53:21.000 Under a chess tournament, you're autistic. 0.97

00:53:23.000 One more thing that I want to mention on that point that I made look, there is a sexuality. 0.99

00:53:30.000 Called demisexual, right?

00:53:32.000 And that gives you some kind of special status. 0.98

00:53:37.000 All it is, is people who require a deep emotional connection before feeling sexual attraction. 0.94

00:53:42.000 They're called demisexual.

00:53:43.000 It's normal.

00:53:44.000 It's literally just normal.

00:53:46.000 It's literally like, I'm going to call myself this thing so I can join.

00:53:51.000 My very normal sexuality.

00:53:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:53:54.000 But you don't want to be normal.

00:53:56.000 My very normal sexuality.

00:53:56.000 You want to have some kind of LGBTQ classification, some way to say that I'm not like these straight white people.

00:54:03.000 I'm different.

00:54:08.000 Right? 1.00

00:54:10.000 That's the sapiosexual one. 1.00

00:54:12.000 It's called Dickie. 1.00

00:54:12.000 Dick Yeah, I'm just interested in the brown hair, you know. 1.00

00:54:17.000 But this is straight to my point. 0.97

00:54:20.000 It's the uh, it's the LGBTB, yeah, lesbian, gay, trans, and brunette sexual, but that's like that's the point. 0.85

00:54:26.000 Like, they people are looking for a way to like to your point.

00:54:31.000 Like, it's really about trying to come up with a way that they can say that they're in an oppressed group because everybody there's so many young people that have been taught that being oppressed is actually valuable socially.

00:54:45.000 That's a hack to all caps.

00:54:47.000 Yeah, everything you say is in all caps, it's a life hack towards all caps.

00:54:51.000 Just real quick, the White House stream is the placeholder is now in place.

00:54:55.000 We are just waiting for them.

00:54:56.000 They've been doing captioning tests.

00:54:58.000 It should begin any minute now, and we will be hearing from the president on what is being described as the most, one of the most important speeches in this nation's history.

00:55:08.000 Since the Cuban Missile Crimes.

00:55:09.000 You think it'll happen?

00:55:10.000 And his face is going on.

00:55:10.000 Since the Cuban Missile Crimes.

00:55:11.000 You think it'll happen on time?

00:55:13.000 He's going to make us wait.

00:55:13.000 No.

00:55:14.000 You don't fill the problem?

00:55:14.000 How long do you think?

00:55:16.000 I don't know.

00:55:17.000 Usually they're a couple minutes late.

00:55:18.000 I think the problem with the over obsession on victim, on like the Marxist, you know, oppressor, oppressed thing, is that there are.

00:55:25.000 Aspects of oppressor and oppressed in the world consistently threaded throughout.

00:55:29.000 Like, there's obviously very wealthy banking establishments that are oppressing people with however you want to look at it.

00:55:34.000 But so don't be, don't think that there's none of it.

00:55:37.000 Don't, don't get so far against this obsession with oppressor and oppressed that you say there is no oppressor because there are situations where we need to band together as humans to protect ourselves.

00:55:46.000 That's a miscarriage.

00:55:46.000 I didn't say that.

00:55:47.000 And I'm, I'm, I didn't think you are, but there's a, that's a miscarriage.

00:55:47.000 No, no, no.

00:55:52.000 When you bring, when you bring up banks, right?

00:55:55.000 I understand that, you know, you have a certain perspective on banks.

00:55:59.000 But banks are what allow people to acquire capital to generate more capital, right?

00:56:07.000 So you go to.

00:56:07.000 A lot of people, but yeah.

00:56:08.000 Well, I mean, who goes somewhere else to.

00:56:10.000 A lot of people.

00:56:11.000 Not all people can go get a loan.

00:56:12.000 That's completely incorrect.

00:56:14.000 They overissue credit cards.

00:56:15.000 Well, I don't know if a random guy with no credit history can get a loan.

00:56:19.000 They literally can.

00:56:20.000 And that's one of the problems.

00:56:23.000 Why do you think kids.

00:56:24.000 The problem you're citing is actually the opposite of what you think it is.

00:56:27.000 Hey, usury used to be illegal.

00:56:28.000 No, no, but I think the banks have.

00:56:30.000 The point that I'm making is.

00:56:31.000 Like, they'll give a credit card to a dog.

00:56:33.000 They did, and then some lady got in trouble for it. 1.00

00:56:35.000 That's what destroyed the economy. 1.00

00:56:37.000 Without capital markets, we wouldn't have the industries that we have.

00:56:42.000 Yeah, we got Sony.

00:56:43.000 No, it doesn't.

00:56:44.000 No, I'm not talking about capitalism.

00:56:45.000 No, no, I'm not talking about capitalism.

00:56:48.000 I'm talking about capital markets.

00:56:49.000 So basically, it's a market for money, right?

00:56:53.000 Without the ability to borrow money, you wouldn't have any of the big businesses that we have.

00:56:59.000 Without the ability to raise capital, so like the stock market, Companies that go public, that's one of the ways that they raise money.

00:57:06.000 Or they'll go to a bank, small business will go to a bank and they'll say, I need to borrow money because I want to, you know, I want to open up a small car dealership or I want to do this.

00:57:15.000 Those kind of things are actually necessary and they are not oppressing you just because they are loaning you money at interest.

00:57:23.000 No, I'm not saying that banks are the problem.

00:57:25.000 Banking has been a huge boon for humanity, but the way that the giant corporate systems are charging interest on like the Federal Reserve debt.

00:57:33.000 That's impressive.

00:57:35.000 The Federal Reserve is a totally different thing than what I'm talking about.

00:57:38.000 Like I said, it's still a different thing than capital markets.

00:57:42.000 Hold on, hold on a second.

00:57:43.000 Ian, are you drinking a cold brew from Starbucks and a can of Starbucks cold brew?

00:57:48.000 I haven't considered drinking this one.

00:57:49.000 Oh, that freaked me out because that's like 600 milligrams of caffeine.

00:57:52.000 I just had it and this.

00:57:53.000 I just want to get high, man.

00:57:54.000 And this is all I got is caffeine.

00:57:56.000 It's a good cold brew.

00:57:57.000 That cold brew has about 300 milligrams.

00:57:58.000 This is?

00:57:59.000 You don't need another can of that.

00:57:59.000 Yeah.

00:58:00.000 I'm worried about your heart.

00:58:01.000 This is sealed.

00:58:02.000 I haven't opened this yet.

00:58:03.000 Yeah.

00:58:03.000 I saw both and I was like, my God.

00:58:05.000 Cinnamon and cream.

00:58:06.000 It's good.

00:58:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:07.000 Cinnamon and cream in the cold brew.

00:58:08.000 It's fantastic.

00:58:08.000 No sugar.

00:58:09.000 Very healthy.

00:58:10.000 But truly, truly, I'm just high as hell.

00:58:13.000 If you think Ian is bad now, I was worried he cracked open a second can and he's about to go nuts on the caffeine.

00:58:17.000 I might open it.

00:58:18.000 This conversation's riveting.

00:58:19.000 Did you guys see this crazy thing, though?

00:58:20.000 It's being of capital where Mamdani is trying to push through a rule where landlords are not allowed to ask for both income verification and credit score.

00:58:31.000 Yes, credit score.

00:58:32.000 And I think, yeah, so that basically he wants landlords to be forced to rent to people who are not qualified to rent the apartment so that those people then default.

00:58:42.000 The landlords run out of money and the city can seize the building.

00:58:45.000 And then the city seizes the building.

00:58:45.000 Right.

00:58:47.000 That's what he wants to do.

00:58:49.000 Because he wants to have.

00:58:51.000 Like actual city owned.

00:58:53.000 Yes.

00:58:53.000 Yeah.

00:58:54.000 And then it'll be through it, I go all over again.

00:58:57.000 It's going to be a disaster.

00:58:58.000 Yeah.

00:58:59.000 And what I find crazy about that is like, I rented apartments in New York a lot, you know, other people have, of course, but like, I rented apartments in New York for a long time.

00:59:07.000 I provided my pay stub.

00:59:09.000 I had to give them my credit score.

00:59:11.000 Sometimes I got the apartment.

00:59:13.000 Usually I didn't.

00:59:14.000 But like, I got an apartment.

00:59:16.000 Like, you give them your stuff.

00:59:16.000 You know what I mean?

00:59:18.000 Sometimes I think there is a market for people.

00:59:21.000 Poor people, right?

00:59:22.000 If you're poor, I never paid more than $2,000 for my apartment.

00:59:22.000 Like, there's a market.

00:59:25.000 Yeah, like if you're a poor person, you don't have a lot of cash in your pocket or whatever.

00:59:30.000 There are still companies and people out there that will do business with you.

00:59:34.000 You have to understand that you're not going to get like some higher-rise in Manhattan.

00:59:37.000 Sure, you got to go live in Coney Island, whatever.

00:59:39.000 Yeah, there's, but there's still, there's still opportunities for you to find housing and stuff like that.

00:59:45.000 You think that they should cap it like a government law where you can't ask for like three times the rent to move in?

00:59:51.000 You have to be making six times your monthly rent.

00:59:54.000 That's not the apartment for you.

00:59:56.000 It's okay.

00:59:56.000 You don't have to live in every apartment.

00:59:59.000 The problem with rent control is that if you control the rent, you don't control the cost of maintenance.

01:00:04.000 So you tell a landlord, you can't charge more than $1,000 per month for rent in this place.

01:00:08.000 And he goes, Yeah, but the cost of maintenance is $800 a month.

01:00:12.000 Then utilities and the bills and the taxes, I'm going to be losing money on this.

01:00:15.000 I need to charge more to be able to cover all the costs.

01:00:17.000 And they go, No, you're not allowed.

01:00:18.000 It's hilarious to me how concerned you are with the Federal Reserve and big banks.

01:00:22.000 But then the solution to those things is markets.

01:00:26.000 Like actual markets, and then you're like, well, maybe the government should say this and stop this and stop that.

01:00:31.000 No.

01:00:31.000 Yeah, you do.

01:00:32.000 Well, on some markets, maybe, but the libertarian argument that you're making about the Federal Reserve is in direct conflict with the argument you make about regulation.

01:00:32.000 No.

01:00:42.000 I'm not sure.

01:00:43.000 The Federal Reserve is a monopoly, and I'm talking about landlords getting together and deciding they're going to charge 10 times the monthly.

01:00:49.000 They don't do that.

01:00:50.000 Hold on.

01:00:51.000 That's called price fix.

01:00:52.000 That's a crime.

01:00:53.000 Well, if they do it in public, it's a crime.

01:00:55.000 But how do you guarantee they can't?

01:00:57.000 You have to make it a law.

01:00:58.000 They can't.

01:00:59.000 It is a law.

01:00:59.000 It is illegal.

01:01:00.000 You can't guarantee nobody else.

01:01:01.000 You can't guarantee murder doesn't happen, but you go and arrest them when you find out they don't.

01:01:04.000 So I'm wondering, like, is a balance between what Mom Dami's doing, where you can't even ask how much they're making, and someone saying, like, you have to make 10 times or 15 times your monthly rent.

01:01:13.000 I own the building.

01:01:14.000 I should be able to do whatever I want.

01:01:16.000 It's my building.

01:01:17.000 You got to pay me a million bucks.

01:01:17.000 You want to stay in it?

01:01:18.000 Can't afford it?

01:01:19.000 You should be invested in reasoning.

01:01:19.000 Goodbye.

01:01:21.000 No, you can't just say, I'm going to kill everyone on my property. 0.99

01:01:23.000 I can do whatever I want. 0.98

01:01:24.000 This is my land.

01:01:25.000 Nobody's talking about murder.

01:01:27.000 You're going to pay me.

01:01:28.000 There's a balance between controlling your land, it's actually government land.

01:01:31.000 No, it's not government land.

01:01:33.000 No, it's not government land.

01:01:34.000 It's not government land.

01:01:35.000 What are you talking about?

01:01:36.000 It's not government land.

01:01:37.000 Wait, wait, wait.

01:01:38.000 I'm spending too much time with Brian.

01:01:39.000 It's because you're your land, but you're paying property tax, so the government protects it from you.

01:01:44.000 Which is theft itself.

01:01:45.000 Why am I paying property tax? 0.97

01:01:48.000 I own this freaking property. 0.89

01:01:49.000 Why am I paying? 0.99

01:01:50.000 Because then you'll make a fiefdom.

01:01:51.000 You've got to stop individuals from becoming mini kings. 0.99

01:01:54.000 And markets do that.

01:01:56.000 We're about one minute out of Trump's historic address to the nation.

01:01:59.000 Look, markets do that.

01:02:03.000 The monopoly stuff that you're talking about, right, doesn't happen when you have competitive markets.

01:02:09.000 The government gets involved.

01:02:10.000 And then only big companies can actually do the things like buy the buildings.

01:02:16.000 But then how did Rocket fall?

01:02:18.000 The argument is if because people need a place to live, the government can control your property, that could apply to literally any property you own.

01:02:26.000 Right.

01:02:27.000 And how many coats do you have?

01:02:28.000 Exactly.

01:02:29.000 Yeah, probably like six.

01:02:30.000 Yeah, I have two.

01:02:31.000 And because people need a coat in the winter, the government should restrict on what you're allowed to do with your coat.

01:02:35.000 No, that's insane.

01:02:36.000 It's your coat.

01:02:37.000 Or tax you for owning too many coats.

01:02:39.000 Yeah.

01:02:39.000 Well, I mean, it's.

01:02:40.000 Especially that one, it's quality.

01:02:42.000 Charging too much can become a problem.

01:02:44.000 I want to avoid a communist revolution.

01:02:45.000 So I'm looking for a middle ground.

01:02:46.000 No, no, no.

01:02:47.000 The middle ground is what makes the communist revolution happen.

01:02:49.000 Yeah, there's no middle ground on this one.

01:02:51.000 Usually, yes.

01:02:52.000 If it's your property, if you own it, then you're in charge of how it operates.

01:02:56.000 And if you want to charge, you know, $5,000, what is it like?

01:03:00.000 $5,500 is like the median rent right now in New York City.

01:03:05.000 And let's say you want to charge $5,500 for a studio apartment.

01:03:08.000 If I can't afford that, my choice is to not rent there.

01:03:13.000 And go find a different apartment.

01:03:14.000 Yeah.

01:03:15.000 Like you're talking about.

01:03:16.000 But Ian, when you say finding a middle ground, understand what's happening is there's a left and a right.

01:03:16.000 Or don't live there.

01:03:20.000 The communists come in and pull the left and then come to you and say, How about the middle ground, Ian?

01:03:25.000 Pulling you to what used to be the left.

01:03:26.000 Well, BlackRock's the middle ground.

01:03:27.000 Then when you choose the middle ground, they say, You're in the middle, though.

01:03:30.000 You're not compromising with us.

01:03:31.000 You're a right winger.

01:03:32.000 They move further left and say, Come closer.

01:03:34.000 But BlackRock buying up farmland and buying up residential properties is like pulling me to the right as well.

01:03:38.000 So there's a middle ground between plutocracy and communism.

01:03:41.000 They banned it.

01:03:42.000 Yeah.

01:03:42.000 Good.

01:03:43.000 Yeah, they can't do it anymore.

01:03:43.000 Good.

01:03:44.000 This is good.

01:03:45.000 But did they strip them of all their property?

01:03:47.000 No, you can't just strip them of all their property.

01:03:51.000 You can't just take your property.

01:03:53.000 I mean, Trump just started raising a bit of money. 0.98

01:03:56.000 But that's shitty. 0.97

01:03:57.000 Wait, wait, hold on. 0.98

01:03:58.000 What are you going to say?

01:03:58.000 I'm going to the bathroom.

01:04:00.000 Oh, you better go because Trump's going to speak soon.

01:04:03.000 I think it's going to be 30 minutes late.

01:04:03.000 Roger.

01:04:06.000 Anyway, now that everything is just a little calmer and smoother.

01:04:10.000 Insane.

01:04:11.000 Property taxes are theft.

01:04:12.000 We can have a calm discussion about the importance of private property and the requirement.

01:04:17.000 That a nation allows its people to privately trade in an effort to be bountiful economically.

01:04:23.000 See, there you go.

01:04:23.000 Phil?

01:04:25.000 These are the right answers.

01:04:27.000 The argument that he makes about the Federal Reserve, and it's well founded.

01:04:32.000 There are arguments against the Federal Reserve and the way that the government manipulates interest rates, which is the cost of capital, right?

01:04:40.000 That's what the interest rate is.

01:04:41.000 And when they manipulate the cost of capital, they send signals to the market that aren't actually real.

01:04:48.000 That's part of why we have the inflation.

01:04:50.000 That we did a couple years ago.

01:04:52.000 That's part of why we have so much money in the system.

01:04:56.000 And then he comes back and he says, we should use the government to stop people.

01:05:00.000 Oh, here we go, here we go, ladies and gentlemen.

01:05:01.000 Good evening.

01:05:03.000 Before we begin, I'm proud to report that our country is safer, stronger, and far wealthier than it has ever been before.

01:05:12.000 We are doing great.

01:05:14.000 Less than two years ago, we inherited an economic and social disaster after the worst inflation in 48 years.

01:05:22.000 The wide open borders with millions and millions of people pouring in from all over the world, including criminals of all types and 11,888 murderers, many of whom killed more than one person. 0.98

01:05:38.000 We had transgender for everybody, men and women's sports, crime ravaging our cities, and the whole world was laughing at us as a nation, but not anymore.

01:05:52.000 Two years ago, our country was dead. 0.99

01:05:56.000 We are the hottest country anywhere in the world.

01:06:00.000 America is respected like we have never been respected before.

01:06:06.000 We have more money being invested in the United States than at any time in the history of our country.

01:06:12.000 More Americans are working today than ever before.

01:06:17.000 This week it was announced that inflation saw the largest monthly decline in more than six years, just happened.

01:06:25.000 It was just given out.

01:06:27.000 The media reported it.

01:06:30.000 We accept it the best in six years.

01:06:33.000 The tax cuts in our great big beautiful bill are saving hardworking families thousands and thousands of dollars.

01:06:41.000 Like with the provisions no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors, along with the interest deduction on a loan used to purchase a car, but only if that car is made in America and a 100% expensing for our job.

01:07:03.000 creating businesses.

01:07:05.000 Our stock markets are at their highest point in many years, but we can actually say of all time.

01:07:14.000 And your 401ks, pensions, and retirement accounts are setting records every single day, the highest in history.

01:07:23.000 For years, we paid the highest price for prescription drugs anywhere in the world.

01:07:28.000 Now we pay the lowest price under my most favored nation's policy, Because I was able to get the rest of the world and the pharmaceutical companies to act responsibly.

01:07:42.000 Drug prices are coming down by 70, 80, and 90 percent.

01:07:47.000 TrumpRx.gov, this will ultimately reduce the cost of health care.

01:07:53.000 You have to go to TrumpRx.gov and take advantage of it.

01:07:58.000 But the cost of health care is coming way down because of what we've done with prescription drugs.

01:08:05.000 And with Trump Accounts, every child in America now has access to a tax-free investment account to save for their future.

01:08:13.000 Billions and billions of dollars are being invested, put in by companies and individuals to take care of our children so that at age 18, they will have potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in their account and they'll get off to a great start in life.

01:08:30.000 So for that, go to trumpaccounts.gov and sign up your child or any child you'd like to sign up.

01:08:39.000 Our previously wide open borders have been transformed into the most secure borders in the history of our country, with zero illegal aliens being admitted to the United States in the past 14 months.

01:08:53.000 That is zero.

01:08:55.000 Nobody thought it was possible.

01:08:57.000 We had the worst border in the history of our country, and now we have the best.

01:09:02.000 Crime is plummeting nationwide, with the murder rate at its lowest level since 1900.

01:09:09.000 or more than 125 years ago.

01:09:13.000 We're making a record investment in our armed forces, and we have the strongest and most powerful military by far anywhere in the world.

01:09:22.000 I built it during my first term, and unfortunately, we're forced to use it now.

01:09:29.000 We won in Venezuela, which is now working with us to produce millions and millions of barrels of oil.

01:09:36.000 We are likewise winning big in Iran, and you will see the fruits of that labor very, very shortly.

01:09:43.000 America is back, and doing really well, but we still have a major challenge that must be urgently addressed because no country can be great without fair and honest elections.

01:09:57.000 You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness.

01:10:04.000 And that's very simple.

01:10:05.000 No trust, no greatness.

01:10:08.000 For many years, I've called for bold, swift, and decisive action to protect the integrity of America's elections.

01:10:17.000 Every American deserves to know that when they cast their vote, that vote will be counted accurately in a system, and that is to make that system secure, one where cheating and interference are not just difficult, but virtually impossible.

01:10:34.000 Unfortunately, the system we have today falls catastrophically short of that standard.

01:10:41.000 Tonight, I'm announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence, revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our.

01:10:50.000 Election infrastructure.

01:10:52.000 This evidence shows that the election system we have dangerously exposes and really exposes like levels never thought possible to hacking, exploitation, and foreign interference.

01:11:08.000 Just as disturbingly, this vital information has for many years been covered up and hidden from you.

01:11:15.000 The American people are beautiful, are great American people, but that all changes right now.

01:11:22.000 The documents we will release.

01:11:24.000 Starting tonight, we have been gathered by the White House Government Transparency Task Force, a great group of people, along with the staff of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, supported by our top intelligence agency chiefs, who have all personally reviewed the findings.

01:11:44.000 We are presenting this evening and fully confirmed their authenticity.

01:11:50.000 You can see these documents for yourself at WhiteHouse.gov.

01:11:55.000 That's WhiteHouse.gov.

01:11:57.000 Go check it out.

01:11:59.000 Our purpose in disclosing this information is not to weaken confidence in election, but to earn that confidence by confronting vulnerabilities and correcting them very, very quickly, and that's what we're doing.

01:12:14.000 The documents cover five major areas of concern.

01:12:18.000 First, they show that over a period of years, starting during the 2020 election cycle, the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data.

01:12:32.000 In history, resulting in China's illicit acquisition of 220 million U.S. voter files.

01:12:41.000 That information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive data that would be needed to register to vote and engage in other nefarious activities, which is exactly what was happening.

01:12:58.000 This data loss presents an unprecedented election security nightmare.

01:13:03.000 The intelligence even shows that China signed a data exploitation unit specifically to this new project.

01:13:11.000 Compounding the travesty, the second set of documents we are releasing reveals that members of the deep state, a very, very famous group of people in many cases, in our intelligence agency work to actively suppress and downplay information about the extent of China's sinister. election meddling, covering it up from both the president and the American people like nobody thought was possible.

01:13:40.000 U.S. spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020 when they discovered that tens of millions of voter data, think of that, tens of millions of voters' data in 18 states have been bought, stolen, or hacked by China.

01:14:01.000 Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead Kept the information secret and hidden.

01:14:08.000 They did not disclose to me as president or to anyone else, and to the best of our knowledge, they did not inform Congress.

01:14:17.000 In fact, all they kept saying is, This is the most secure election in the history of our country.

01:14:24.000 A standard, very pat line that was divvied out to say, The cover up of this colossal security breach is even more disturbing in light of the additional information showing that China engaged in.

01:14:38.000 Other election related activities to undermine my first administration and our 2020 campaign.

01:14:45.000 They did not want, and they just didn't want it.

01:14:48.000 They fought like hell not to have a Donald Trump to win, and for good reason.

01:14:55.000 As the documents we are releasing show, CIA reporting explicitly stated, and I quote In mid 2018, the Chinese Communist Party's policy was to leverage all domestic and foreign elements.

01:15:10.000 That were opposed to the U.S. president in an effort to reduce the U.S. president's votes and make him resign or prevent his reelection.

01:15:20.000 Isn't that nice?

01:15:21.000 Also, in mid 2018, China was working to influence the results of the U.S. midterm elections and later the results of the 2020 presidential election itself.

01:15:34.000 Separately, in mid 2019, the Chinese government's strategy against the United States was focused on undermining domestic confidence in the U.S. president.

01:15:44.000 They wanted to just Make you sound like your president wasn't so hot when actually your president has done a great job and they did everything possible to do exactly that.

01:15:56.000 Going on, this document says, and this is by the CIA, the strategy included efforts to use Chinese contacts with big U.S. companies to influence U.S. business leaders to turn against the president of the United States of America.

01:16:13.000 The Chinese government sought to identify U.S. journalists who had.

01:16:18.000 Reported negatively on the U.S. president and paid them large sums of money to write more negative articles about him, as many as they could, and they didn't care what they said.

01:16:31.000 The Chinese government wanted the U.S. president to lose the next election, and the reason they wanted me to lose is because they knew I was wise to them, charged them billions and billions of dollars worth of tariffs, and built the strongest military anywhere in the world.

01:16:49.000 We have the strongest military.

01:16:51.000 Anywhere in the world.

01:16:53.000 These are exact quotes from the CIA reporting.

01:16:58.000 The name of the person doing the quote is now under review, but it gets even worse.

01:17:05.000 Raw intelligence obtained by the FBI in 2020, yet buried by rogue bureaucrats, stated that China's activities even included an attempt to manufacture illegal ballots for Joe Biden.

01:17:19.000 Documents show that during this period, dozens of Significant CIA and NSA reports about China's election targeting were kept out of the presidential briefing.

01:17:32.000 These were briefings I would get almost every day.

01:17:35.000 Everything was kept out that was of importance.

01:17:39.000 One email among intelligence analysts admitted that they had, quote, deliberately massaged the presidential daily briefing to withhold information regarding Chinese activities related to the election.

01:17:53.000 Another Official inside the FBI wrote that she was running, quote, a shadow government, unquote, to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known and to keep it away from the honorable press.

01:18:09.000 Other officials who witnessed such efforts perceived the motivations to be blatantly political.

01:18:16.000 Recently, we found significant numbers of burn bags in formation, and this is a group of bags that were used to destroy.

01:18:26.000 Information given by President Barack Hussein Obama to be burned.

01:18:33.000 It was supposed to be burned.

01:18:34.000 These bags were supposed to be at a different level by different people, incinerated and checked, but it never happened.

01:18:45.000 Maybe we got lucky.

01:18:46.000 We believe this was not done on purpose, but rather through gross incompetence of the people that were supposed to burn the bags.

01:18:55.000 But the findings are stunning.

01:18:57.000 Today, I'm asking the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the CIA to investigate how and why such crucial information was hidden, to fire those involved in the cover up, and to file criminal charges, if appropriate, against these people.

01:19:16.000 Yet, concealing China's meddling was only the beginning.

01:19:20.000 The third set of documents we are releasing proves that for many years, Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of Our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems, are dishonest almost all.

01:19:38.000 They're vulnerable and they're easily compromised, and people within our government knew that.

01:19:46.000 Tonight we're publishing a series of previously classified U.S. intelligence community assessments and other reports proving that our government has long known these machines are extremely exposed to attack.

01:20:00.000 As one assessment states, we judged that.

01:20:03.000 The United States adversaries, including at a minimum Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise U.S. election infrastructure.

01:20:17.000 That's unquote, but that's some statement, isn't it?

01:20:20.000 Made by supposedly great patriots of our country.

01:20:25.000 The document goes on to further state that, We assess that centralized election related data repositories, such as voter registration databases, poll books, and other official election websites, are most vulnerable to exploitation and adversaries could use this access to these systems to disrupt election processes within the United States of America.

01:20:53.000 Tonight we're releasing all of those findings and spanning from January 2020 to June 2026.

01:21:01.000 This is a cyber threat aimed at the very heart of our democracy.

01:21:06.000 Many people have questioned whether it could actually be possible to electronically manipulate vote totals or change election results on these terrible machines.

01:21:18.000 Today we are releasing documents that show the CIA obtained reporting of a specific plot to do a big number in favor of the corrupt Maduro.

01:21:30.000 Regime in Venezuela, and that's exactly what happened conspiring to digitally rig their own country's elections in 2020, and that's what they did.

01:21:42.000 This reporting included precise details about methods to regime develop to digitally alter vote totals in ways that could not be detected even with an audit, no matter how deep they went.

01:21:57.000 This intelligence underscores why we must take urgent action to ensure that.

01:22:03.000 Our own system can never, ever be hacked or compromised like it was in the past.

01:22:09.000 The fourth set of documents reveals that even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up.

01:22:19.000 Among the disclosures tonight are FBI files detailing evidence of alleged fraud by a large scale voter registration operation in Michigan.

01:22:30.000 In 2020, Michigan State Police raided a Democrat.

01:22:33.000 Get out the vote organization, corrupt group in Muskegon.

01:22:39.000 And we're so concerned by what they found.

01:22:42.000 They were just so concerned, they couldn't believe it actually, that they contacted the FBI in Detroit.

01:22:49.000 The documents state that some canvassers admitted to FBI agents that they signed voter registration forms in other people's names, submitted fraudulent registration for people who did not exist, and received gift cards tied to their number of applications that they produced.

01:23:08.000 In other words, it was pay, play, and cheat.

01:23:13.000 The FBI agents working on the case believe that crimes were committed, yet the Biden Department of Justice slow walked the investigation and killed it.

01:23:24.000 Tonight, I'm asking the FBI director to ensure that the matter is fully investigated and to work with the Department of Justice to prosecute those responsible for any crimes.

01:23:37.000 Finally, to reveal just how vulnerable our elections continue to be.

01:23:41.000 We are releasing the results of a stunning investigation by the Department of Homeland Security.

01:23:48.000 According to the DHS review, state voter rolls and public records, they identified approximately 278,000 non citizens who are registered to vote in federal elections.

01:24:02.000 Since Democrat states refuse to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher than that.

01:24:09.000 Yet, even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million.

01:24:15.000 Foreigners illegally registered to vote.

01:24:19.000 Put together, these disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it. 0.79

01:24:27.000 It is not defensible.

01:24:30.000 Hundreds of millions of U.S. voter files are in the hands of foreign governments.

01:24:36.000 Our machines and ballot counting systems are exposed to hacking and manipulation and corruption.

01:24:43.000 China and other countries have been trying to meddle in our elections.

01:24:47.000 Evidence of fraud has been buried.

01:24:49.000 Hundreds of thousands of non citizens and dead people are listed and active on the voter rolls, and yet we still have elections with no voter ID, no proof of citizenship, and tens of millions of ballots floating aimlessly through the mail.

01:25:07.000 As one example of the insanity, California's recent election for mayor of LA and governor was held on June 2nd, a long time ago, but it was just completed.

01:25:20.000 A few days ago on July 10th, think of that, much more than one month.

01:25:25.000 Took a month to count the votes.

01:25:27.000 I wonder what they were doing. 1.00

01:25:29.000 This is worse than any third world country.

01:25:32.000 There's no third world country that has elections like we have.

01:25:37.000 In a rare move, NBC and ABC Fake News have both said that they would not cover this speech.

01:25:43.000 They knew what it was about because of the fact that they don't like the topic, because they know how corrupt our system is and they don't want to reveal it.

01:25:52.000 They and others in the media are part of a plot.

01:25:55.000 They want to continue this fraud for whatever reason.

01:25:58.000 They want to keep it going.

01:26:00.000 They want to protect the radical left.

01:26:03.000 They can't have a great country, and that's true.

01:26:06.000 You can't have a great country without free and fair elections.

01:26:10.000 Fraud like this should mean a revocation of their licenses.

01:26:15.000 They use our public multi-billion dollar in value airways for absolutely no money.

01:26:21.000 They pay nothing.

01:26:23.000 All we want is honesty in our elections and honesty in reporting.

01:26:27.000 They pay nothing for multi billion dollar assets.

01:26:32.000 Great damage has been done to our country.

01:26:35.000 Our elections were left vulnerable to being rigged and stolen, and the trust of the American people was lost.

01:26:44.000 This cannot be allowed to continue.

01:26:45.000 Every American, whether you're a Republican, Democrat, independent, or otherwise, should be able to agree that we deserve.

01:26:54.000 The most secure, honest, and fair election system anywhere in the world.

01:26:58.000 Secure elections should be a partisan issue, really.

01:27:03.000 We should be together, Democrats, Republicans, independents, everybody.

01:27:09.000 And it should not be a partisan issue.

01:27:11.000 It should cause to unite us, not to divide us.

01:27:14.000 This should be a cause.

01:27:16.000 We should be united, not divided.

01:27:19.000 In light of the brand new and irrefutable information I have revealed tonight, my administration is in the process of notifying.

01:27:29.000 The states whose election data was compromised by the People's Republic of China and many others.

01:27:36.000 We will be working closely to mitigate any harm, and we're taking swift action to ensure that sensitive voter data is better protected so we can never be bought, we can never be hacked, and we can never watch a stolen election again.

01:27:54.000 Tomorrow, the Secretary of Homeland Security will hold a briefing to outline his department's recent work.

01:28:01.000 Confirming cyber vulnerabilities in our electronic voting systems.

01:28:06.000 They are bad.

01:28:08.000 We're in the process of informing governors, senators, and members of Congress of potential issues in their states.

01:28:16.000 If you look at voting today, it's in such bad shape in so many states, and we are committing to fix it.

01:28:23.000 And we're also committing to be working with those states and local jurisdictions to help them fix and patch known technical vulnerabilities before the midterm elections.

01:28:34.000 We have very important elections coming up.

01:28:37.000 We want those elections, to be honest. 0.58

01:28:40.000 I've also ordered DHS to notify every state about non citizens on their voter rolls and direct them to remove all ineligible voters from the lists immediately.

01:28:51.000 But most importantly, addressing this crisis of election security demands that Congress must pass the Save America Act.

01:29:03.000 How easy is that to do unless you want to cheat?

01:29:08.000 The only reason you wouldn't do it. 0.98

01:29:10.000 Is you want to cheat because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so pathetic that you can't get away or can't get elected any other way. 0.50

01:29:21.000 This landmark bill requires that all voters must show photo, voter ID. 0.85

01:29:27.000 How simple is that?

01:29:29.000 Could I have your photo, please?

01:29:31.000 Photo, voter ID.

01:29:33.000 All voters must provide proof of citizenship.

01:29:37.000 Are you a citizen of our country, please?

01:29:40.000 And hopefully, there will be no corrupt mail in ballots, which, if you watched California and so many other places, mail in ballots are inherently corrupt.

01:29:51.000 So, you would have no mail in ballots except for illness, disability, military deployment, or travel if you're going away on business or vacation.

01:30:05.000 These reforms are urgently needed to stop the vulnerabilities that I've mentioned.

01:30:11.000 To all Americans, I ask you to pick up your phone tomorrow, call your representatives in the House and Senate, and demand that they pass the Save America Act without delay.

01:30:23.000 Together we will restore faith and confidence in our country, and we will be bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

01:30:33.000 Thank you.

01:30:34.000 God bless you.

01:30:35.000 God bless our great military, and God bless America.

01:30:40.000 Thank you very much.

01:30:44.000 Okay.

01:30:45.000 No Pulte, no Cash, no Blanche.

01:30:47.000 But you know, it aligns with Trump admin's general ethos, which is go after the systems themselves.

01:30:53.000 I mean, there are instances of them going after individuals, but they seem like they're trying to clean up the systems.

01:30:57.000 So I consider this to be a little bit less than halfway to what I expected.

01:31:03.000 The information they release on the website is a little bit, there's some substance there.

01:31:07.000 Voter fraud.

01:31:08.000 Actually, let me pull this into the so everyone can see it.

01:31:10.000 I mean, so this is the White House release.

01:31:13.000 We've got the actual files on vulnerabilities and the manipulation from China.

01:31:17.000 The acquisition, exploitation of our voter data, Michigan voter registration investigation, as well as non citizens. 0.55

01:31:23.000 So it's not quite a nothing burger.

01:31:26.000 We'll see what happens tomorrow with DHS and what actions the executive branch will actually take to rectify this.

01:31:32.000 But calling on the American people to call your senators, call your members of Congress, good, but I don't think it's going to do anything.

01:31:39.000 I really just got to say, I think rehashing the grievances of the 2020 election is not particularly compelling to Americans, even if there was.

01:31:47.000 Fraud at this point, it's six years ago, and we're pretty much sick of hearing about that.

01:31:51.000 You know, we want cheap gas, cheap groceries, green lawns.

01:31:56.000 We have four months until the elections, and essentially, you know, we're going to get killed in November if our campaign messages are the Iran war in 2020 election.

01:32:04.000 Yes, but we're going to get killed in November if the election systems are manipulated.

01:32:09.000 The Save Act is going to change them.

01:32:11.000 Voter right, then there's nothing you can do.

01:32:14.000 If the argument is we have compromised voting systems through universal mail in voting and trying to address it results in us losing, then if we just go for the economics message, then they just cheat.

01:32:25.000 So it's lose lose.

01:32:26.000 Well, do you think we're actually going to get the Save Act?

01:32:28.000 Do you think we're going to push it through?

01:32:29.000 Because the House just managed to pass some of it the other day.

01:32:32.000 Yeah.

01:32:33.000 Yeah, they keep doing this, but the Senate won't do it.

01:32:35.000 And I have to wonder why Trump won't go after Thune the way he went after Massey.

01:32:38.000 I don't understand why Trump won't go after Thune either, but you know, this speech seemed to kind of be a little bit of a waste of time, and we're out of time.

01:32:46.000 Well, I think it's worth noting that, like, China being involved or you know, the accusations that China's involved, like, that's a big deal.

01:32:54.000 And then to top it off, like, the fact that like CIA and the intelligence apparatus knew about it and wasn't disclosing it, that's really, really, really bad.

01:33:06.000 Sure, I mean, I bad, but do you think this is going to move the needle for any of the voters out there?

01:33:11.000 Well, I don't think that it matters.

01:33:12.000 Like, it's not, this isn't just about getting people to vote.

01:33:15.000 Like, I understand that around the table, we're all kind of focused on the midterms, and rightly so.

01:33:20.000 But this isn't just about the midterms, right? 1.00

01:33:23.000 This is about the way that China, and we were just talking about how much of a threat China is just earlier tonight. 0.61

01:33:30.000 China's a really massive threat to the United States. 0.97

01:33:33.000 And the things that they're doing undermine not just our own, just the population, but the elections themselves. 0.99

01:33:41.000 Then throw on the fact that, like I said, like Trump said, that the intelligence agencies knew.

01:33:47.000 And didn't report about it.

01:33:48.000 Like, this just was, you know, they were hiding.

01:33:51.000 That's why he brought Gabbard in.

01:33:52.000 That's why he tried to, you know, get all of these classified documents released.

01:33:56.000 I mean, that's been a big part of that whole deep state thing that we knew about.

01:34:01.000 Well, I mean, we didn't know that the deep state was bad, but we didn't know that China actually had tangible evidence that China actually was taking action and that the intelligence agencies didn't report it to the president or to, you know, To anyone, basically.

01:34:21.000 So we'll have to dig into the documents for sure.

01:34:24.000 I was really satisfied when he started bringing up that these electronic voting machines were flipping votes because this is my biggest concern.

01:34:31.000 When you can't view the source code, you may as well just assume corruption or potential corruption, which is just as bad as real corruption if you need to trust the system.

01:34:39.000 So then, but instead of saying he pointed it at our own systems and being like, our election was the votes were flipped, he said it was happening in Venezuela.

01:34:45.000 So it's like something everyone can agree.

01:34:47.000 Obviously, Potemkin candidate, digital Dominion, or whoever's running these machines. 0.75

01:34:52.000 Upholding their faux candidate, which they have proof, according to him now, they've got proof that these votes were being flipped digitally behind the scenes, which just indicates that it's very likely it was happening in the United States as well.

01:35:05.000 He just didn't say it.

01:35:06.000 That's the Sidney Powell nonsense that we were hearing back in December of 2020.

01:35:09.000 No one cares about flipping votes for Maduro.

01:35:12.000 I'm going to be real with you.

01:35:13.000 The Save America Act, it needs to get passed.

01:35:15.000 But the issue is that, first of all, I actually, from when I was on, I did, I think, roughly five shows.

01:35:24.000 Where I would get on the phone on air and call senator after senator, yelling at them that their legacy is tied to the Save America Act.

01:35:32.000 And my objective was I would rant at and leave voicemails on them because you're not going to get them on the phone.

01:35:38.000 But I would just leave one voicemail after another telling them how their legacies are tied to this, in particular, John Thune.

01:35:44.000 John Thune seems to be someone who is as duplicitous and as neocon, uniparty as imaginable.

01:35:51.000 That's why he became the Senate majority leader.

01:35:54.000 They want him.

01:35:55.000 In that position, so that he can take the slings and arrows from folks like me and Tim and other people out there who are saying, Why the hell are you not abolishing the filibuster?

01:36:05.000 Why are you caving into this when you know that they certainly will abolish the filibuster as soon as they get the chance?

01:36:11.000 And they've already called for it in the past.

01:36:13.000 The only reason it wasn't abolished the filibuster back under Biden is because they had Mansion in there and Cinema, who basically stopped them.

01:36:23.000 But if they had the votes, they were going to abolish it.

01:36:25.000 They tried doing that.

01:36:27.000 And this is a matter of ultimately.

01:36:28.000 Protecting the integrity of what America is.

01:36:31.000 Because if we lose the ability to have a vote, if we cannot protect the integrity of our vote, and it's not simply protecting the integrity of our vote, it's protecting the transparency that you and I can look at elections and say to ourselves, I know that this was a fair and proper election.

01:36:46.000 If you don't have that, in that case, we do not have a constitutional republic.

01:36:50.000 We don't have anything here.

01:36:51.000 I agree, but why would you say it doesn't matter about the votes getting flipped digitally behind the scenes in Venezuela?

01:36:57.000 I'm not saying that that does not matter.

01:36:59.000 What I'm saying is, Americans do not care about what the hell is happening in South or Central America.

01:37:05.000 We don't care about that.

01:37:07.000 Well, this is sort of an issue.

01:37:08.000 I understand that, but Cindy Power was saying that six years ago.

01:37:10.000 I remember her coming out and she would scream, Maduro, Maduro, Maduro, when they were saying, What proof do you have about what happened that there was fraud and there was illegality in the 2020 election?

01:37:20.000 And she would start screaming, You know, ever since Maduro, and this is the system with Maduro.

01:37:24.000 I've been hearing about Maduro for ages from people who didn't seem to have any objective or any direction as to how to remedy the problems that we're having.

01:37:32.000 And that's why I'm saying, This is to me an old argument.

01:37:35.000 I agree with a lot of what he's saying.

01:37:36.000 It's a problem, but you need to basically come up with, you need to point this in a direction that's helpful.

01:37:44.000 Yeah, I think he's saying this is sort of interesting.

01:37:46.000 It says, the district attorney in Riverside County, California, revealed that a bad actor used the state's voter registration website to change the party affiliation of a large number of registered voters, made the changes by accessing personal information and without voters' knowledge or consent.

01:38:02.000 I mean, that's, you know, That's kind of interesting to see this kind of thing.

01:38:07.000 You know, Kennesaw State University, responsible for supporting Georgia's voter registration database, was found to expose nearly 7 million voter records, including driver's license and social security numbers of registered voters, Chinese state sponsored cyber actors, aggressively targeted U.S. critical infrastructure.

01:38:24.000 So there are a lot of things in here.

01:38:26.000 I mean, the question is is simply releasing the data going to make any kinds of changes?

01:38:32.000 Is the SAVE Act going to pass?

01:38:33.000 Like you're saying, I don't think Thune is going to.

01:38:37.000 Pass it at all.

01:38:38.000 I'm not sure why, like you were saying, I don't know why Trump is.

01:38:41.000 He goes after Massey with reckless abandon as soon as he gets a free speech.

01:38:45.000 And Thune should be held to account.

01:38:46.000 Thune should have abolished the filibuster, you know, last fall and pushed through a lot of the Trump agenda because now we're facing down these midterms.

01:38:55.000 We have, you know, a couple of stations didn't even air this.

01:38:58.000 People aren't even going to know about it.

01:38:59.000 The people who watch ABC or whatever.

01:39:02.000 So just, yeah, real quick, CNN also didn't.

01:39:05.000 They just talked about it.

01:39:06.000 CBS was airing the speech, but talking over it while he was talking.

01:39:10.000 And ABC and NBC just did not.

01:39:12.000 I tried not to talk over Trump.

01:39:13.000 I said at one point because you've attached the bill to another thing.

01:39:16.000 Talking about the SAVE Act, it is currently being attached from the House to the state foreign operations.

01:39:20.000 Hold on one second.

01:39:21.000 It's attached to the state foreign operations and related programs appropriations spending bill right now.

01:39:25.000 But do you think that the Senate is really going to take it up?

01:39:27.000 They've refused to every single time.

01:39:29.000 I don't know why they've been refusing the bill when it's alone.

01:39:32.000 I don't know the reasoning.

01:39:33.000 Do they give reasons when they reject it?

01:39:34.000 Well, Thune just says they don't have the votes.

01:39:36.000 Yeah, that's all he says, which is not true because I think they already got 50 votes to approve it on a procedural basis to introduce it or something.

01:39:44.000 As an attachment, and then it failed.

01:39:46.000 But with JD Vance as a tiebreaker, they should be able to get it through.

01:39:50.000 Well, that's if they abolish the filibuster, which most people don't even understand what the filibuster really is.

01:39:55.000 Which is what?

01:39:55.000 Tell me really fast.

01:39:56.000 Okay.

01:39:57.000 So, in order to get a bill to get voted on, you need to have a closure of the actual debate period about the bill.

01:40:06.000 So, that's called that term for getting that closure is called invoking cloture.

01:40:11.000 In order to invoke cloture, you need 60 votes.

01:40:14.000 Then, once the bill is actually being voted on, you only need to get a majority.

01:40:18.000 But the point is, you can never get to invoking cloture if there's a Filibuster, meaning that there's a continual debate that's ongoing.

01:40:25.000 It used to be the way the Senate operated for centuries was that if you wanted to have a debate to be ongoing, you had to stand there on the floor and talk and talk and talk.

01:40:36.000 And they used to engage in that.

01:40:37.000 At a certain point, our Senate got too lazy.

01:40:40.000 So what they said was, okay, we're not going to actually make you talk.

01:40:43.000 You can just invoke it a zombie, say it's as if we're debating right now until such time as we yank that.

01:40:50.000 And then how would you close it?

01:40:51.000 Well, then you need to get to 60 votes.

01:40:53.000 I mean, it used to be 66 votes.

01:40:54.000 They brought it back from 66.

01:40:56.000 Now, you hear sometimes people will talk about how do we get around the filibuster.

01:41:00.000 Well, the way to get around the filibuster is that they made a special rule that you can have a, you only need 50 votes to invoke cloture if in fact you're talking about a budget bill.

01:41:12.000 So, what they try to do is they try to make it part of a budget.

01:41:15.000 So, if it's a policy thing, you need 60 votes.

01:41:19.000 But if it's about the budget, then you need a simple majority.

01:41:22.000 Now, how do we end up making it about the budget?

01:41:24.000 Well, there's ways you can make the Save America Act, and it's not the Save Act, there's a difference.

01:41:29.000 It's the Save America Act.

01:41:30.000 There are ways that you can actually make the Save America Act budgetary, but who decides whether this is sufficiently about the budget that it comes to 50 votes or it's not about that?

01:41:42.000 It's about policy, in which case it's 60 votes.

01:41:45.000 There's one person who's a parliamentarian.

01:41:47.000 It's called a parliamentarian.

01:41:49.000 And that person that was a parliamentarian was appointed under Barack Obama.

01:41:53.000 And she's stayed in this position for the last, I don't know, 15 years or so as serving as the parliamentarian.

01:41:59.000 So she says that, hey, look, This is not really about budget.

01:42:03.000 This is really about policy.

01:42:05.000 In that case, you can't get 50 votes in vote cloture.

01:42:08.000 You need the 60, and it's going to die.

01:42:11.000 Thune knows this.

01:42:12.000 Thune knows all of this.

01:42:13.000 He knows this perfectly well.

01:42:15.000 So he could theoretically fire the parliamentarian, replace the parliamentarian, but he's not going to because he pretends that he's all about following the Queen's rules of how we deal with things.

01:42:26.000 This is why they don't abolish the filibuster, which they could easily decide.

01:42:30.000 Who decides filibuster? 0.99

01:42:31.000 The Senate. 1.00

01:42:31.000 The Senate decides their own rules. 1.00

01:42:33.000 They could say we're abolishing the filibuster.

01:42:35.000 He's not willing to do that.

01:42:37.000 They can fire the parliamentarian.

01:42:38.000 This is all John Thune's orchestrated decision to basically thwart Trump's agenda.

01:42:45.000 That is what we are seeing happening here.

01:42:47.000 Under the guise of what can we do and the hand wringing and the pearl clutching, there's nothing we can do.

01:42:51.000 This is what the rules of the Senate say.

01:42:53.000 And ultimately, it's a purposefully designed failure by our Senate GOP led by John Thune.

01:43:00.000 May his soul, may God have mercy on him.

01:43:04.000 I don't know a lot about him.

01:43:05.000 Does he specifically, as he said, he doesn't want it to pass?

01:43:07.000 No, of course not.

01:43:08.000 He's a classic tooth, very, The Democratic Party,

01:43:37.000 which are private companies, which is crazy to me.

01:43:39.000 They have like their superdelegates in the Democratic Party, 700 people that get to basically guide and decide who the candidate's going to be regardless of who votes.

01:43:47.000 And then in the Republican Party, it's 172 guys or something like 180 people that get to decide.

01:43:51.000 That's if someone resigns, you know, ideally they don't get to pick, but it really is two part, it's oligarchy, you know, that's what we've been, that's what we got going on right now.

01:44:02.000 Agreed. 0.95

01:44:03.000 It's pathetic. 0.97

01:44:04.000 Now, the question is I think that there is some sort of caving to pressure that could happen. 0.97

01:44:09.000 If people were really harassing them day and night, you have to think that there would be some caving to pressure.

01:44:15.000 Bad will and secret animus against Trump that's brewed in the Senate GOP.

01:44:22.000 That I'm not sure it could actually pass filibuster if push came to shove.

01:44:26.000 Because if you go through the numbers, there's 53 senators.

01:44:29.000 We have Lindsey Graham, who is dead.

01:44:33.000 Mitch McConnell, who hates the bill, hates Trump, and has actively voted against it, he's in a coma or dead or whatever.

01:44:41.000 You can pick your pill on that.

01:44:44.000 Then you have Cornyn and Cassidy, who have basically been humiliated in their primaries because Trump.

01:44:52.000 Came out against them.

01:44:54.000 So they openly despise him.

01:44:56.000 That's already four, not to mention that you have Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, who are always a shaky bet on the best of days to actually side with doing the right thing on behalf of America.

01:45:05.000 So now you have to ask yourself would we even get 250 if we actually, if it became part of that?

01:45:13.000 And I don't know.

01:45:14.000 I mean, frankly, I think the best we can, I don't think there's any way the Save America Act is going to come into effect for the 2028 election, for the 2026 election.

01:45:21.000 The best we could hope for is that it gets passed.

01:45:23.000 And that it would come into effect in the 2028 election, that's the best we can hope for.

01:45:27.000 But I'm skeptical about how that would happen before we have the new term starting in 2020.

01:45:33.000 So, the attachment to the state foreign operations related programs appropriation spending bill is trying to get it so you only need a simple majority of 50.

01:45:39.000 Precisely.

01:45:40.000 But is this bill, the state foreign operations bill, the one that says we're merging the American military with the Israeli military?

01:45:46.000 That's the problem.

01:45:46.000 Yep.

01:45:48.000 That's why they're trying to say, you give us what we want and we'll give you what you want.

01:45:53.000 That's the problem.

01:45:54.000 The U.S. Israel, like, What is it like, strategic merger or whatever they're calling it?

01:45:58.000 It's insane. 1.00

01:45:59.000 It's stupid and they shouldn't, but at the same time, it's not the problem. 1.00

01:46:02.000 Technological problems. 1.00

01:46:03.000 That's not why.

01:46:04.000 That's not why.

01:46:05.000 Like, that's not the problem for the SAVE Act.

01:46:07.000 The SAVE Act has its own individual problems. 0.96

01:46:10.000 The idea of the US working more closely with Israel, like, I'm not for that. 1.00

01:46:15.000 Like, I don't want to see that happen.

01:46:17.000 I don't like the NDA overall generally because that's how they've done a lot of really bad policy.

01:46:22.000 Just shove it into the NDAA.

01:46:25.000 But the two things are different things. 0.99

01:46:29.000 If they put the SAVE Act onto the NDAA and take out the Israel stuff, I'd be totally fine with that. 1.00

01:46:36.000 You know, that would be like the best case scenario. 0.99

01:46:38.000 I feel like the Israel thing is a poison pill to make sure it doesn't pass. 0.98

01:46:42.000 Yeah, I mean, especially since you just had, what was it, 103 Democrats in the House voting against Israel funding?

01:46:47.000 Right, so they put the Save America Act in the NDAA, but then they also attach this Israel military technological partnership, they're calling it.

01:46:55.000 And then you're going to get everybody fighting.

01:46:56.000 There's something for you to hate no matter who you are.

01:46:58.000 This is like going back to the Lauren Boebert thing of, Um, everything should be, wasn't she like everything should stand alone as its own bill?

01:46:58.000 Exactly.

01:47:06.000 Yeah, I think Massey's been saying that, yeah.

01:47:07.000 MTG, a lot of people were saying that, and they should all sunset.

01:47:10.000 Yeah, every single law introduced should have like a default, you know, like four year period or something after which it has to be re upped or it dissolves.

01:47:18.000 Listen, you big dreamer, we can't even get a budget.

01:47:23.000 I know, we just have a continuing resolution year after year for the bill.

01:47:26.000 How many years has it been since I think 1999?

01:47:28.000 I think it's been a CR since '99, yeah, like literally, like I mean, since like the.

01:47:34.000 The Twin Towers have come down.

01:47:36.000 I don't think we've had a budget, and we're supposed to create a brand new one with 12 separate bills every single year.

01:47:43.000 So, you tell me we're going to actually start creating a new system where statutes get sunsetted.

01:47:48.000 I mean, we have to deal with a little bit of reality here.

01:47:51.000 I think the first thing is let's get the freaking Save America Act passed.

01:47:55.000 Standalone?

01:47:56.000 Or do you prefer an attachment to the matter?

01:47:58.000 Of course, I prefer individual bills. 0.99

01:48:00.000 However, you get this damn thing crammed through, frankly, the ideal thing is to abolish the filibuster and to basically say screw it. 0.98

01:48:09.000 It's going to be abolished anyway. 0.99

01:48:10.000 We might as well get what we want out of it.

01:48:13.000 And get the Save America Act, amongst other things, also.

01:48:16.000 I mean, the Save America Act is really just the tip of the iceberg as far as issues that need to be remedied.

01:48:21.000 It seems like a filibuster is not a bad idea in a real Congress.

01:48:26.000 When it was a real filibuster, it's not a bad idea if they have to stand up and actually talk for the whole time, right?

01:48:34.000 Because then it puts a physical limitation.

01:48:36.000 They can't stand there forever.

01:48:38.000 They're going to have to use the bathroom.

01:48:39.000 They're going to have to drink water.

01:48:39.000 They're going to have to eat.

01:48:40.000 They're going to have to, you know, people can come up and I think talk for them.

01:48:43.000 I think, but even still, you have some kind of limitation.

01:48:47.000 But the whole like zombie filibuster where they're just like, ah, we're just going to filibuster and stay and nobody has to actually come up and do anything, that's bad.

01:48:54.000 I want to explain to you philosophically why the filibuster was put in place.

01:48:58.000 And it'll take me 90 seconds to explain this to you why it was put in place and why it's no longer a proper system to have in our government.

01:49:05.000 The reason senators have a six year term rather than a two year term, and when there's two senators per state, no matter how large the size of the state, is because we basically look at That role of Congress is to lay out long term strategy on behalf of the United States and recognize that in two years, it's not enough time to pass a bill and see how it's flushing out.

01:49:24.000 So that's why we gave a lengthier time.

01:49:26.000 That's why our founders gave a lengthier time to the Senate.

01:49:28.000 And they said, we're going to give them six years so that they actually have a longer period of time to watch their statute that they are their children to unfold.

01:49:38.000 Now, we also want to make sure that there's some sort of consensus across the aisle.

01:49:43.000 So that's why they said, we're going to have it a two thirds majority, which later gets cut down to a 60%.

01:49:48.000 60% majority, that in order for a bill to pass, you need to actually have this majority, which we're expecting is going to require there to be some sort of compromise between both sides of the aisle.

01:49:59.000 And that's what the entire system that was set up by Founders was designed that was find a way to compromise that what some states want and other states don't want, that that would ultimately be resolved.

01:50:09.000 But what you have here today, and the reason that the purpose and objective of the filibuster has become stupid is because it's no longer about ideologically what is right for America, that politics has become so completely.

01:50:22.000 Identitarian, that it ultimately is, I don't care what your policy is. 0.93

01:50:29.000 Your policy, you could be saying the exact same thing I was screaming for three months ago. 0.95

01:50:34.000 And you could be saying that that's what you want, but I hate you, so I am voting against it.

01:50:40.000 That is not trying to reach compromise.

01:50:42.000 That's no longer about that.

01:50:43.000 This ultimately, this had a genesis in the Obama era, but now we're at a place where I don't care what it is that's coming out of your mouth.

01:50:50.000 Since it's coming out of your mouth, it is evil and I'm voting against it.

01:50:53.000 How do you have a compromise with that?

01:50:56.000 I don't know.

01:50:56.000 Is that because of it?

01:50:57.000 No, I mean.

01:50:58.000 You don't.

01:50:58.000 It's like you're keeping score.

01:50:59.000 And like for every bill you get passed, you think that is leading them closer to getting re elected.

01:51:03.000 And I'm like, I don't want you to get re elected.

01:51:05.000 So I'm not voting for your bill.

01:51:06.000 This is all about power. 0.56

01:51:07.000 There's an interesting thing in here in the China section.

01:51:10.000 It says In mid 2019, the Chinese government's strategy against the United States was focused on undermining domestic confidence in the U.S. president.

01:51:19.000 The strategy included efforts to use Chinese contracts with big U.S. companies to influence U.S. business leaders to turn against the U.S. president.

01:51:25.000 The Chinese government sought to identify U.S. journalists who had reported.

01:51:29.000 Negatively on the US president and pay them to write more negative articles about him.

01:51:34.000 The Chinese government wanted the US president to lose the next election.

01:51:37.000 I wonder who those journalists and businesses are.

01:51:40.000 But it's probably in the files.

01:51:42.000 I pulled up one of them and I was reading some of the emails.

01:51:44.000 Yeah, I'm going through all the China ones while we're sitting here chatting.

01:51:47.000 I'm sure it's Twitter, but I just haven't seen any evidence yet.

01:51:50.000 Well, we're going to go to your Rumble rants and Super Chat.

01:52:10.000 Thanks, guys.

01:52:12.000 Appreciate it.

01:52:13.000 Let's see. 0.99

01:52:14.000 Laura says, I used to drag race and I would get my nails done before a race. 0.80

01:52:17.000 Your sentiment reminded me. 0.91

01:52:18.000 Drag race? 0.70

01:52:19.000 Whose? 0.99

01:52:21.000 Is that like a.

01:52:22.000 Wait, what kind of drag?

01:52:24.000 It's just when you race a car.

01:52:25.000 Oh, two of them go really fast and one of them.

01:52:27.000 You get your nails done.

01:52:28.000 You have a different kind of drag.

01:52:29.000 Denelex is my brother in law in prison.

01:52:31.000 They're trying to deport him and he's an American citizen.

01:52:33.000 Any suggestions to who I need to talk to? 0.60

01:52:35.000 God.

01:52:36.000 No.

01:52:37.000 A lawyer?

01:52:38.000 Yeah.

01:52:39.000 Probably an immigration lawyer, yeah.

01:52:41.000 Yeah.

01:52:43.000 Christian says, Tim, have you ever played Mass Effect Andromeda?

01:52:45.000 The main character has an AI hardwired into his brain that I feel is what Neuralink is going to be like.

01:52:50.000 Have you guys played that?

01:52:51.000 Is that the third one or the fourth one?

01:52:53.000 I think that was the third one, and people just generally didn't like it.

01:52:56.000 Yeah.

01:52:57.000 I heard that.

01:52:59.000 Onboard AI, dude.

01:53:00.000 You're going to get the Neuralink implant, Ian?

01:53:02.000 Man, I can't decide if I'm going to be a cybernetic or a mutant.

01:53:05.000 I think I'd prefer to become a mutant.

01:53:07.000 I agree.

01:53:07.000 I would rather be a mutant than.

01:53:08.000 Like, get psychic powers.

01:53:10.000 But also, I'd rather not be either of those things.

01:53:13.000 Really?

01:53:14.000 Yeah.

01:53:14.000 To keep up, I want access to the net.

01:53:16.000 I would like to live forever.

01:53:18.000 Like, I want to be 110,000 years old and in perfect health, but I don't want to have to do anything weird to do it.

01:53:23.000 That's if you ever want to break the ice, just ask them if they prefer to be a cyborg or a mutant.

01:53:27.000 Yeah, I don't think I would.

01:53:28.000 I mean, mutant is like, you know, Botox, CRISPR, stuff like that.

01:53:33.000 Yeah.

01:53:34.000 Enforced mutations with CRISPR.

01:53:35.000 Seems terrible.

01:53:36.000 I'm down with that.

01:53:36.000 No, I'm not down with any of it, to be honest.

01:53:38.000 I got to go slow.

01:53:40.000 I want to oversee the people that are getting it, and then I'll maybe jump in.

01:53:44.000 You want to oversee, as in like watch them, or you want to be in a position of authority over them?

01:53:49.000 Oh, the first one.

01:53:51.000 Watch, observe if they go crazy.

01:53:52.000 You want them to be guinea pigs and experiment first.

01:53:56.000 All right.

01:53:56.000 Forced name change says Ian, I spent three hours today chopping down a 30 foot long, 5 foot wide, and 20 foot high hedgerow of caragana bushes.

01:54:04.000 I used a chainsaw that was a POS temperature around 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

01:54:08.000 What did you do today?

01:54:11.000 I went to Aldi and bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables.

01:54:13.000 I just got this cold brew.

01:54:15.000 Drank a bunch of coffee.

01:54:17.000 Be careful with this.

01:54:18.000 He tried to will it to rain because it was hot out, but it didn't happen.

01:54:21.000 It didn't happen.

01:54:21.000 Nope, didn't do that.

01:54:22.000 It's got a great coat.

01:54:24.000 That's an amazing coat.

01:54:25.000 I observed my own. 1.00

01:54:26.000 Some shit tax you on that. 1.00

01:54:28.000 You like it that much? 1.00

01:54:29.000 It's tax you on the coat.

01:54:29.000 It is gorgeous.

01:54:30.000 It's enlivening.

01:54:31.000 I called it gaudy earlier.

01:54:33.000 No, I like it. 1.00

01:54:34.000 Suck it. 1.00

01:54:35.000 Hope you like my brown leather. 1.00

01:54:38.000 Let's see.

01:54:38.000 We'll grab a bit more here.

01:54:40.000 Skull says, I love you, Ian.

01:54:42.000 Thank you, Skull.

01:54:42.000 Look at that.

01:54:43.000 Are you AI?

01:54:44.000 See, the thing is, as much as people in the chat complain about Ian, Most people aren't commenting and they love Ian.

01:54:51.000 I think that's like a love to hate thing where I think they view Ian kind of like a character, like a silly sidekick that won't take anything seriously.

01:55:00.000 You're like, just stop for a minute and be serious.

01:55:03.000 And I'm like, but I think, I mean, there's a dynamic to the conversation when there's a dispute and Ian doesn't understand something or has a different viewpoint that I think it's boring if we're all just going, I agree, I agree to.

01:55:19.000 Plus, like, I agree.

01:55:20.000 My real take is when we talk about the liberal economic order and the deep state, it's so serious that if you don't laugh, they'll kill you.

01:55:27.000 It'll be the worst.

01:55:28.000 You'll be such a target because I really want to fix the global economic order.

01:55:32.000 From Aldi.

01:55:32.000 That's not an easy ask, you know?

01:55:34.000 So I got to act like aloof and goofy and bring levity to it so people enjoy the process.

01:55:38.000 We got an important one here.

01:55:39.000 This is from ScribblyBase.

01:55:40.000 Rumor has it Phil and Ian are besties and give each other a long bro hug before and after each show.

01:55:45.000 That's not true.

01:55:46.000 Phil gives Ian a kiss on the cheek.

01:55:48.000 Yeah, he smells good.

01:55:51.000 Shower right before the show every day.

01:55:52.000 Phil's a good driver, for the record.

01:55:56.000 Beer Run says Yo, remember when Chuck farted?

01:55:59.000 I saw that Chuck Schumer farted.

01:56:00.000 Is that what happened?

01:56:01.000 We all heard about it.

01:56:02.000 He did.

01:56:02.000 He farted.

01:56:03.000 Did he really, though?

01:56:04.000 I don't know.

01:56:05.000 No, I thought it was like interfering.

01:56:06.000 I didn't want to watch the video because I was like, come on, really?

01:56:08.000 Senators farting is news?

01:56:10.000 I hate this.

01:56:11.000 You know, I got to be honest.

01:56:12.000 The diarrhea parasite thing, I also think is not news.

01:56:15.000 You don't think the diarrhea?

01:56:16.000 I think it's good to remember that you should wash your hands and your food.

01:56:20.000 Apparently, they're saying it's like bagged salad.

01:56:22.000 Yeah, it looks like it came from Tyler.

01:56:25.000 Yeah, but here's the thing.

01:56:28.000 Like, I go to Wendy's, I eat a bad burger and get food poisoning.

01:56:31.000 It's not news.

01:56:32.000 And this happens all the time.

01:56:34.000 Taylor Farms, which food poisoning happens all the time.

01:56:36.000 Sure.

01:56:37.000 And so I just think it's a slow news period.

01:56:38.000 And people were like, we have one, it was literally 1,634 cases the other day.

01:56:43.000 The fun part about it.

01:56:44.000 Just not news.

01:56:44.000 Sorry.

01:56:45.000 The fun part about that story, we ran that story.

01:56:46.000 And the reason we first ran that story was because it was the highest number of cases in New York City.

01:56:53.000 And we were like, there you go, Mamdani, go to Mamdani's.

01:56:56.000 He's eating with his hands.

01:56:57.000 See, this is why it was a fun story at first.

01:56:57.000 Exactly.

01:56:59.000 I like hearing about all the people that didn't know if they got the viral diarrhea or they couldn't tell.

01:57:03.000 It's like, how much diarrhea do you have?

01:57:06.000 Yeah.

01:57:06.000 That's what Tate said.

01:57:07.000 Tate was like, I think I have it, but I wouldn't know because nothing changed.

01:57:10.000 Oh, God.

01:57:14.000 Yeah.

01:57:16.000 But yeah, like food poisoning is not news.

01:57:18.000 It's just people were bored, I guess.

01:57:20.000 Especially when you have so many people that are like, oh, it was Taco Bell.

01:57:23.000 Yeah, it turned out it was Taco Bell.

01:57:25.000 And it was apparently the same company that caused the E. coli break at McDonald's several years ago.

01:57:30.000 Great news.

01:57:31.000 Oh, great news.

01:57:32.000 Yeah.

01:57:32.000 Look, I think that Taco Bell's worth the risk, though.

01:57:34.000 Like, I don't eat Taco Bell very much, but it is probably my favorite fast food out there.

01:57:40.000 I actually skipped strawberries for the week and I bought watermelon because, you know, they're closed.

01:57:46.000 From Taco Bell?

01:57:47.000 No, from a couple weeks ago, I blended up a watermelon and then put it in my dehydrator and made like fruit roll ups with it.

01:57:53.000 That's weird.

01:57:54.000 Dude, I came back from the show and saw you eating a watermelon at like four in the morning when we were in Vegas.

01:58:00.000 It was a wild sight, right?

01:58:02.000 Okay, this one.

01:58:03.000 This one's funny.

01:58:04.000 I love watermelon. 0.96

01:58:05.000 Stacker of Things says Libby in here making me wish I had an overdue library book. 1.00

01:58:10.000 Oh.

01:58:12.000 Well, it's cute.

01:58:16.000 Very clever.

01:58:17.000 Lurch says, it is difficult to preach the virtues of hard work and capitalism when we've seen our money become worthless and the American dream grow out of reach for most of us.

01:58:25.000 No wonder DSA is surging.

01:58:27.000 We have to message better.

01:58:30.000 Yeah, partially.

01:58:30.000 But, like, I mean, it takes time for wages to rise after a bout of inflation.

01:58:37.000 So, I don't, there's no quick fix.

01:58:40.000 You know, the inflation that happened, like, we had real bad inflation for a couple of years there, and prices just don't go back.

01:58:48.000 Like, it's not like they're going to change back to the way they were.

01:58:51.000 Before 2020, or what have you.

01:58:53.000 But it's not just messaging.

01:58:55.000 I mean, there is a harsh reality.

01:58:57.000 The harsh reality is that if you're some 25 year old kid right now, you feel as if you have very little prospect you're ever going to be a homeowner.

01:59:08.000 This is a relatively new thing.

01:59:09.000 Yep.

01:59:10.000 That you don't feel as if you're going to have a better life than what your parents have, and you feel as if the American dream is dead.

01:59:15.000 Yep.

01:59:16.000 So if you want to actually keep them from saying, like, you know, like they're in a foxhole, I have nothing else to try.

01:59:22.000 Whatever I have here isn't working.

01:59:25.000 They're going to say, let me try socialism.

01:59:27.000 The best way to fight against this wave of evil is to actually implement strategies that make life more optimistic and realistically optimistic for today's youth.

01:59:38.000 Because otherwise, they're just going to say, What the F?

01:59:40.000 Let's just try whatever we can.

01:59:41.000 Yeah, it's tough to preach property rights when kids are like, I don't own anything.

01:59:45.000 And I never will.

01:59:45.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:59:46.000 But the DSA does have to lie about this by drawing a distinction between what they call private property and personal property, which is fake.

01:59:52.000 They made that up.

01:59:53.000 Because what happens is some guy goes, But what about like my phone?

01:59:56.000 No, that's personal property.

01:59:58.000 Private property is like a factory.

02:00:00.000 Oh, I get it.

02:00:02.000 What they're basically saying is, you don't own a building, so we can exploit you, but we're going to take your phone too.

02:00:02.000 They don't.

02:00:06.000 Because they want the means of production.

02:00:06.000 Yeah.

02:00:09.000 If you're using a computer to produce videos or anything like that, well, that has become the means of production.

02:00:15.000 That's your means of production.

02:00:16.000 So the idea that you're going to own anything other than maybe your toothbrush, like that's, you can toss that out.

02:00:24.000 You drive for Uber, that car is a means of production.

02:00:27.000 You own a computer to basically do anything, that's a means of production.

02:00:31.000 They will take essentially everything from you if they can.

02:00:34.000 Well, the evils are glaring.

02:00:36.000 I'm simply saying that if you want to get people to shy away from those evils, you have to increase their opportunities to actually have a happier life under capitalism.

02:00:48.000 Nicholas says, I'm here for Timcast ASMR.

02:00:50.000 Put the mic back in your mouth.

02:00:52.000 Well, it's the NPR style.

02:00:54.000 You're listening to Tim Pool.

02:00:56.000 This is Timcast IRL.

02:00:58.000 Joining me today is Phil Abanti.

02:01:00.000 Phil, you were recently discussing why Ian is insane and wrong.

02:01:03.000 Yes.

02:01:04.000 Please tell me more.

02:01:05.000 Ian Crossland believes that he can change the weather with his mind.

02:01:09.000 Now, everyone knows that this is not possible for human beings.

02:01:12.000 Ian Crossland continues to assert that the rain is actually at his command.

02:01:18.000 Well, there are critics who would disagree with you, Phil, and they would say that, in fact, Ian can change the weather with his mind.

02:01:26.000 We have to remain balanced by recommending that people hear both sides of the story.

02:01:30.000 Both sides.

02:01:30.000 That is, that perhaps Ian can change the weather, and Phil, you're a bigot.

02:01:34.000 Well, I am a bigot, and I disagree. 0.87

02:01:37.000 There are concerns that this is a white supremacist.

02:01:39.000 Perspective.

02:01:40.000 Well, you know. 0.99

02:01:40.000 If it has been argued that if you believe Ian can't, in fact, change the weather, you're actually a racist and you hate women. 0.99

02:01:49.000 See, like, I want to keep, I want to, like, lean into that. 1.00

02:01:54.000 All of that is true.

02:01:55.000 Yeah, well, I know.

02:01:56.000 Well, the thing is, if I lean into the joke, I know someone's going to, like, clip it and be like, oh, look at this.

02:02:00.000 Blah, blah, blah.

02:02:01.000 The response is, no, you're correct.

02:02:04.000 Ian can't control the weather.

02:02:04.000 Yes.

02:02:06.000 I hate women as well. 1.00

02:02:08.000 You're afraid of the clip. 1.00

02:02:09.000 The clip is to be feared.

02:02:10.000 The clip is to be feared.

02:02:12.000 It is.

02:02:13.000 You just have to speak in a way that's impossible to clip. 0.99

02:02:15.000 You have to say things like, it is simultaneously true that I believe Ian can't, and also that women are, but the weather and their bed. 1.00

02:02:27.000 You got to do it like Smeagol. 1.00

02:02:29.000 You have to look one way and then look the other and then interrupt yourself.

02:02:32.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

02:02:35.000 Yeah.

02:02:37.000 Yeah.

02:02:38.000 I'm just going to call it on the Gollum.

02:02:41.000 We're not doing politically correct casting.

02:02:43.000 Yeah, no, he said we're all white.

02:02:45.000 Sure.

02:02:46.000 But he's also the guy who made Animal Farm woke.

02:02:48.000 So, oh, yeah.

02:02:48.000 My friends, we're going to go to the uncensored portion of the show.

02:02:50.000 So, if you want to check it out, it's at rumble.com slash timcastirl.

02:02:53.000 You don't want to miss it.

02:02:54.000 It's always fun, not so family friendly, but definitely check it out.

02:02:58.000 You can follow me on X and Instagram at timcast.

02:03:01.000 Good sir, would you like to shout anything out?

02:03:03.000 Yeah, I'd ask if you all check out my channel, Good Logic, which is on both YouTube and Rumble.

02:03:09.000 Make sure you hit subscribe and hit the bell.

02:03:11.000 You can check my merch store if you're so inclined.

02:03:14.000 But I do a live broadcast, a live stream every night at 10 p.m. Eastern, following up pretty much right after Tim Pool.

02:03:25.000 You may have been fed over to me.

02:03:26.000 And I try to make it both entertaining and also something you're going to learn and follow what's going on in law and politics and check me out there.

02:03:33.000 Thanks.

02:03:34.000 Spent the last week spreading the gospel of changing the weather with my body in Las Vegas, but there wasn't a lot of moisture in the air.

02:03:40.000 So it was harder to move it.

02:03:41.000 You made it less frequent for all of us.

02:03:42.000 Yeah, it was gorgeous.

02:03:44.000 I think I got some people on board.

02:03:47.000 It's very important because in the future, they're going to start modifying the weather, especially the AI is going to try and destroy humanity by corrupting our weather systems and ripping up our food supply.

02:03:56.000 So we have to counter that with magnetism.

02:03:59.000 Let's start training now.

02:04:00.000 Phil Abonte.

02:04:01.000 Libby.

02:04:03.000 Hi, I'm Libby Emmons.

02:04:05.000 I have a podcast, another pointless podcast, and I think I speak in an NPR voice on the podcast.

02:04:11.000 So if you're into that sort of thing, you can check it out at the Pod Millennial.

02:04:15.000 You can also check out the Post Millennial, where I'm the editor and see everything we're writing over there, and humanevents.com.

02:04:21.000 You can check that out, and you can find me on Twitter, which I am dead naming at Libby Emmons.

02:04:27.000 I am Phil that remains on Twix.

02:04:28.000 I'm also on Patreon at Phil, that remains.

02:04:31.000 You can check out the band, All That Remains, on Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, YouTube, Spotify, and Deezer.

02:04:36.000 Ian cannot change the weather, and the left lane is for crime.

02:04:39.000 Carter.

02:04:41.000 I beg to differ.

02:04:42.000 Ian can change weather sometimes.

02:04:43.000 And y'all got to stop.

02:04:45.000 Y'all got to stop.

02:04:46.000 I can't say with certainty that he can't do it.

02:04:48.000 I can.

02:04:50.000 You can follow me at Carter Banks everywhere, at Carter Banks Official everywhere else, and follow the label at Trash House Records on YouTube.

02:04:50.000 I'm Carter Banks.

02:04:57.000 Yeah, let's get into the after show.

02:04:58.000 We'll see you all at rumble.com slash Timcast IRL right now.

02:05:02.000 Thanks for hanging out.

02:05:52.000 We'll talk about this. 0.99

02:05:53.000 Did you guys see this lady who freaked out over a mooring line?

02:05:56.000 No.

02:05:56.000 This is like the funniest thing I've ever seen.

02:05:58.000 These people are fucking insane. 0.99

02:06:00.000 Yeah, so Kara Carita Munoz reporting live. 1.00

02:06:07.000 This is what I'm talking about.

02:06:08.000 So, approach the park.

02:06:09.000 See how when you come this way, the main entrance, huh?

02:06:15.000 Can we see what is actually hiding behind this guy?

02:06:19.000 You sure can't.

02:06:22.000 You can't.

02:06:22.000 Nope.

02:06:23.000 Because it's a Noose that they are hiding.

02:06:26.000 We really love to protect.

02:06:26.000 Hmm.

02:06:27.000 You got arrested.

02:06:28.000 Nooses here, apparently.

02:06:30.000 Come on.

02:06:32.000 It's a mooring line, but you know.

02:06:33.000 It's connected, therefore, it's not what it is.

02:06:36.000 Sir, what is that?

02:06:38.000 You don't want to respond, but that's okay.

02:06:40.000 Your face is right.

02:06:41.000 Oh, let me get the other side.

02:06:42.000 I'm like, I saw this.

02:06:43.000 I'm like, this is a noose.

02:06:44.000 There we go.

02:06:44.000 Hi.

02:06:44.000 You too.

02:06:45.000 Hi.

02:06:46.000 Are you going to do anything about the noose hanging above your head?

02:06:51.000 This is a representation of the.

02:06:55.000 It's a statue of a fisherman with a mooring line.

02:06:58.000 Or, you know, if they throw the rope from the boat onto the dock to get on the thing.

02:07:02.000 Yeah, this is what happens when you employ critical race theory and look at everything through the lens of race theory.

02:07:08.000 These men who I don't know, they're not identifying themselves.

02:07:11.000 There's no way these men are, again, trying to not commit a crime.

02:07:15.000 They have not identified themselves.

02:07:17.000 My car is locked.

02:07:18.000 Oh, they're trying to get into my car.

02:07:19.000 What's your name?

02:07:22.000 No pay.

02:07:22.000 What's your name?

02:07:24.000 And so apparently she got arrested.

02:07:26.000 Assault in the third degree, malicious mischief.

02:07:30.000 I don't know, man. 0.77

02:07:31.000 She put her hands on somebody.

02:07:32.000 Like, I find it hard to believe this is real.

02:07:34.000 That's why it's not the B. You know what I mean?

02:07:36.000 Right.

02:07:37.000 This guy said she no longer works for Tolan.

02:07:40.000 They let her go.

02:07:42.000 I was just in the bathroom reflecting, and I realized I think I stopped an earthquake one time with my weather control manipulation.

02:07:49.000 Thank you.

02:07:50.000 Yeah.

02:07:50.000 But the problem with stopping an earthquake in one area is it might cause the earthquake to appear in a different area.

02:07:55.000 I don't know.

02:07:55.000 Maybe twice, two different areas.

02:07:57.000 I'd be down to talk about this crazy bitch some more, though. 1.00

02:08:00.000 So, is she? 1.00

02:08:00.000 You're saying it's crazy, bitch. 1.00

02:08:03.000 This is the result of critical race theory. 1.00

02:08:05.000 That's what this is.

02:08:06.000 You're saying you using the bathroom is not what caused an earthquake, but prevented one?

02:08:10.000 It was a different kind of earthquake going on in there.

02:08:12.000 It was balancing.

02:08:13.000 Well, I was thinking about this time in 2009 when I was in LA at the bar and the whole restaurant started to shake, and I just used, at the time, my manifestation.

02:08:22.000 I was like, stay calm, focus calm, and the earthquake was what I believed was going to happen.

02:08:26.000 People were like running out of the building in panic, and I just stayed super calm.

02:08:30.000 And it was like breathing, and then the earthquake slowed down and the building went back to normal.

02:08:35.000 You made the earthquake stop.

02:08:36.000 What's that?

02:08:37.000 You made the earthquake stop.

02:08:38.000 Maybe.

02:08:39.000 Probably.

02:08:40.000 It was before I had any inkling that maybe I was affecting weather.

02:08:43.000 It was before you realized you had powers.

02:08:44.000 I just did what I knew was right before I understood the power of doing what was right and the opportunity to do what's right.

02:08:55.000 Have you ever made the rain split in half?

02:08:57.000 Yeah, if you focus positivity while you're walking through a rainstorm, it goes around you.

02:09:02.000 It like put it up, the positive energy.

02:09:04.000 It's like a magnetic umbrella.

02:09:05.000 Have you ever tried to like focus your energy and then fire a bolt of lightning at somebody?

02:09:05.000 It will throw.

02:09:10.000 Yeah, like chi.

02:09:11.000 I call that Tai Chi.

02:09:12.000 Like there's a, I did it with my brother one time.

02:09:14.000 I was sitting across the room and it came down into him and he like shocked like this across the room.

02:09:18.000 I was like, I'm so sorry.

02:09:19.000 That's why he has that scar.

02:09:20.000 Probably.

02:09:21.000 That's the, that runs the length of his body.

02:09:23.000 Including to the tip of his toes.

02:09:23.000 Wow.

02:09:25.000 That proves it.

02:09:26.000 You should have seen him do it.

02:09:27.000 Phil would be embarrassed.

02:09:27.000 It was weird.

02:09:29.000 I didn't jolt him, but energy flowed through me and he jolted and I felt responsible for being a conduit.

02:09:29.000 I don't know.

02:09:35.000 I apologize, and I've never done it since.

02:09:36.000 It was like using dark energy.

02:09:39.000 Do it to Phil right now.

02:09:41.000 It's like the.

02:09:42.000 Phil doesn't believe in it, so why would he care?

02:09:42.000 No.

02:09:44.000 The emperor couldn't bring it on.

02:09:45.000 There's two ways to.

02:09:46.000 Come on.

02:09:47.000 No, dude.

02:09:47.000 Prove it.

02:09:48.000 I want to see it.

02:09:49.000 Prove it.

02:09:50.000 You're telling Anakin to use the dark.

02:09:52.000 Come on.

02:09:52.000 Prove it.

02:09:53.000 Wait, wait, wait.

02:09:53.000 Come on.

02:09:54.000 The difference of sending energy, of sending heat, is that you can send it like a flame, which the Jedi do. 0.97

02:10:00.000 They send this flowing, licking heat that you can absorb. 0.93

02:10:03.000 But then the dark Jedi will send direct current right at you and it will shock you. 0.99

02:10:07.000 He's fucking Andy Kaufman. 0.98

02:10:08.000 He's literally just acting all the time. 0.99

02:10:11.000 It actually happened.

02:10:12.000 He's actually British.

02:10:13.000 He was sitting there like 30, 20 feet away and he jolted.

02:10:18.000 He's a British actor.

02:10:19.000 We hired him.

02:10:20.000 It was a casting call.

02:10:21.000 Yeah, we were like Scottish for John. 0.99

02:10:23.000 We put out a casting call for Hippie Moron and he answered. 0.53

02:10:28.000 Did he show up with the jacket? 0.83

02:10:30.000 He did.

02:10:32.000 He actually showed up with a bunch and he was talking like this Do you prefer the brown jacket or the black duster?

02:10:37.000 And I was like, Actually, both are great. 0.99

02:10:38.000 Like, not a moron enough. 0.99

02:10:39.000 And I was like, I'll do anything. 0.99

02:10:40.000 I'll even use an accent.

02:10:42.000 Let me on. 1.00

02:10:43.000 If I talk like this, like an American, like now you got it. 0.91

02:10:43.000 Let me add on. 0.91

02:10:46.000 That's how Tom Holland got the job of Spider Man.

02:10:49.000 I'm just not buying it.

02:10:49.000 Well, he just talked with an American accent.

02:10:51.000 Well, yeah.

02:10:51.000 Well, Spider Man's an American.

02:10:53.000 Right, but he's British.

02:10:54.000 I heard the Odyssey is all American accents and people are pissed off.

02:10:56.000 I think the Odyssey looks weird with Ellen Page.

02:11:00.000 It's only five minutes, but yeah, I ain't doing it.

02:11:02.000 Who does she play?

02:11:03.000 Sinan.

02:11:04.000 Sinan isn't even in the original, in the Odyssey.

02:11:07.000 That's crazy.

02:11:08.000 Five minutes.

02:11:08.000 And also, they had to inject it in.

02:11:10.000 Fuck that. 1.00

02:11:11.000 Have you seen her running around? 1.00

02:11:13.000 She looks like a little girl running around. 0.96

02:11:18.000 Have you seen her standing next to all the other actors? 0.96

02:11:20.000 She is tiny. 0.98

02:11:21.000 Five foot tall, maybe? 0.98

02:11:24.000 She just looks like Juno. 0.85

02:11:26.000 But 70 years older now.

02:11:29.000 When Juno's like 90.

02:11:31.000 Imagine if I. 0.99

02:11:32.000 I have an idea that you can cut your boobs off and put on a suit and you're a dude. 1.00

02:11:36.000 I don't think. 0.99

02:11:36.000 And they're showing her with her girlfriend and they're like, look at these two. 0.99

02:11:39.000 I'm like, this is crazy. 1.00

02:11:41.000 They look like lesbians. 1.00

02:11:41.000 Get out of here. 1.00

02:11:43.000 She has a girlfriend? 1.00

02:11:44.000 They had the greatest memes when that first came announced.

02:11:44.000 Perhaps.

02:11:47.000 I was comparing her to Hercules.

02:11:49.000 Yeah, they were doing Michael Bay.

02:11:49.000 Yeah.

02:11:51.000 Oh, Achilles. 0.54

02:11:52.000 Achilles.

02:11:53.000 Yeah, Troy.

02:11:53.000 Yeah, thank you.

02:11:54.000 Well, that was because people were claiming that she was going to play Achilles, but.

02:11:58.000 That was never reported.

02:11:59.000 People just, and they're still saying she's Achilles, and she's not.

02:12:01.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:12:02.000 Oh, that's funny.

02:12:03.000 I'm looking at her.

02:12:04.000 She replaced, I mean, they replaced the ghost of Achilles.

02:12:04.000 She's not.

02:12:07.000 And Menelaus is alive in this one, but it's because it's not part of Troy.

02:12:11.000 Is that what it is?

02:12:12.000 I didn't know.

02:12:12.000 I don't know.

02:12:13.000 Because in Troy, he dies.

02:12:14.000 Yeah.

02:12:14.000 Megalalus?

02:12:15.000 Menelaus.

02:12:16.000 Yeah, Menelaus, as I said.

02:12:16.000 Oh.

02:12:18.000 I don't know what's more ridiculous than the idea. 0.97

02:12:21.000 I don't know. 0.96

02:12:22.000 I'm no good Greek.

02:12:23.000 It's all Greek to me, you know?

02:12:24.000 It's been a long time since I've seen Troy like a hundred times.

02:12:27.000 Oh, he's awesome.

02:12:28.000 I don't know what's more ridiculous, the idea of Ellen Page playing Achilles or the idea of Ian being able to change the weather with his mind.

02:12:34.000 I think changing the weather with his mind is more believable. 0.79

02:12:37.000 But it's my body.

02:12:38.000 It's the body that's doing it.

02:12:39.000 You use your body to do it.

02:12:40.000 Your brain is part of your body.

02:12:42.000 It's both, yeah.

02:12:43.000 It's floating inside the saltwater sac, the meat animal, and it's sending electrical impulses to pull on your muscles and do all that stuff.

02:12:49.000 But it's like a floating jellyfish creature, the brain and spine floating thing with all these tentacles.

02:12:56.000 Dude, imagine.

02:12:57.000 You seem very interested in it, so I'll talk to you about it for a little bit.

02:13:00.000 That you could control the weather, that you, your body is influencing your surroundings beyond what you can perceive.

02:13:06.000 Look, when I was a kid, I really hoped that the force was real when I was like five, six, seven.

02:13:11.000 I spent a lot of time staring and pointing at things.

02:13:14.000 Nothing ever happened, man.

02:13:16.000 Have you done Reiki?

02:13:17.000 The force is real. 1.00

02:13:18.000 You just don't have any metachlorians.

02:13:19.000 I actually had Reiki one time.

02:13:21.000 I was having this asthma attack and I was at rehearsal and my friend, the director, had been like studying Reiki or whatever because, of course, and he did like a Reiki thing and my asthma attack went away and I was like.

02:13:35.000 Either I wasn't having an asthma attack, or this is real, or I was just stunned that this, like, it's weird.

02:13:41.000 It's like it's they, Reiki is, if I were having an asthma attack, right, and someone came over and stopped the asthma attack, it would give me a subsequent asthma attack.

02:13:54.000 Yeah, I was kind of weirded out, but I had forgotten my inhaler and it was like a whole, yeah, it was a whole thing.

02:14:00.000 There is, I think, power of like the whole chi that there's certain masters to harness their chi to do things that do not seem physically possible.

02:14:10.000 I think there's so many examples of that that I think that. 0.86

02:14:14.000 To just write them all off as being hot garbage, I think is kind of excessively cynical. 0.96

02:14:21.000 I believe it. 0.99

02:14:21.000 I just think it's evil. 0.99

02:14:22.000 I think it's like evil spiriting type, like taboo or what do they call it, dabbling in the occult.

02:14:28.000 When it comes to that stuff, I am just a wet blanket.

02:14:31.000 I really am.

02:14:32.000 I'm just like, nope.

02:14:33.000 I used to think it was egotistical to engage with that and believe I had the power and to utilize it.

02:14:39.000 But now I think it's egotistical not to.

02:14:41.000 Oh, really?

02:14:41.000 If you have the ability and you still choose not to, like that's the Ego, okay, Spider Man.

02:14:46.000 Yeah, with great responsibility, with fame.

02:14:48.000 Because I was like, when you have the power and when you can do the things that I can do, and then you don't, and the bad things still happen, then it's your fault, okay, Spider Man.

02:14:58.000 Because I was like, with fame, I'm like, great power comes great leisure, fame requires ego, fame requires ego.

02:15:05.000 You need to be egotistical to go after fame, and it's so egotistical to go after fame, I'd rather just be in the background.

02:15:09.000 But then I realized, like, no, that's my ego stopping me from being my best self in public.

02:15:13.000 But what's the right?

02:15:14.000 Ian knows he's important, he knows people need to hear what he has to say, so he puts himself out there.

02:15:19.000 You're stroking me right now.

02:15:20.000 What's that?

02:15:23.000 What'd you say?

02:15:25.000 I'm saying, what's the point of fame?

02:15:28.000 To help people.

02:15:29.000 Fame in and of itself is not particularly valuable.

02:15:33.000 No, I don't think so either.

02:15:35.000 Just because.

02:15:36.000 I mean, and influence is only valuable if it's used well.

02:15:42.000 You ask anyone that's rich and famous, and you say to them, would you rather be ultimately famous or just be rich?

02:15:49.000 Oh, I'd rather be rich and famous.

02:15:51.000 Oh, being famous is expensive.

02:15:52.000 Yeah.

02:15:53.000 We got guys walking around with guns all over the place.

02:15:55.000 Yeah, it doesn't seem great.

02:15:56.000 You know?

02:15:57.000 A couple of times I've been recognized in public, which gratefully does not happen very often.

02:16:03.000 I've been freaked out.

02:16:05.000 Like, why is he even talking to me?

02:16:06.000 Because they do things like, can I see your feet?

02:16:10.000 Oh, God.

02:16:11.000 You've never had that happen or anything like that?

02:16:13.000 No.

02:16:14.000 I'm saying, like, with all the weird stuff people post on the internet.

02:16:16.000 They randomly call my name or stop me, like, at a store and be like, hi.

02:16:20.000 And I'm like, hello.

02:16:24.000 Yeah.

02:16:25.000 So that's like, Anonymity is golden, you know, like being able to walk around and everyone just walks right by you.

02:16:30.000 That's pretty awesome if you don't, if you know what it's like getting stopped.

02:16:35.000 I think people, yeah, and I think you don't realize that that's a good thing if you want something else.

02:16:40.000 But I mean, everybody wants something other than what they have.

02:16:44.000 I mean, I think that's the ego was stopping me from, because it's a big sacrifice to get to let your body be known.

02:16:44.000 Yeah.

02:16:49.000 The Romans, that was like a punishment of the Romans.

02:16:51.000 They'd put your face on a billboard at Town Square and be like, everyone, this is this guy.

02:16:55.000 And he'd be like, We're going to pull on calls.

02:16:57.000 We got to Julian.

02:16:59.000 What's up, Julian?

02:16:59.000 Hey, what's going on?

02:17:01.000 Hey.

02:17:02.000 Julian.

02:17:03.000 Julian?

02:17:04.000 Sorry, guys.

02:17:04.000 What's up, Yule?

02:17:05.000 What's up, man?

02:17:07.000 A little late to the jaw there.

02:17:08.000 I apologize.

02:17:09.000 Bass, but what?

02:17:12.000 A little late to the jaw.

02:17:13.000 I apologize.

02:17:14.000 No problem, man.

02:17:14.000 We can hear you.

02:17:16.000 What's good?

02:17:17.000 Awesome.

02:17:17.000 Great.

02:17:18.000 Hey, first time calling here.

02:17:20.000 I'm a lot more nervous than I expected to be.

02:17:22.000 It's quite alarming.

02:17:23.000 But anyhow, it's a real honor.

02:17:25.000 I've been listening to you guys since you and Adam, Tim, when you guys first started.

02:17:30.000 It was like 2020, right? 0.78

02:17:31.000 Right, and that was particularly powerful for me because around the time, as you know, when the whole world went to SHIT, the lockdowns, the shutdowns, the gaslighting, and so on and so forth, I really had no one in my corner.

02:17:41.000 And you really honestly were a great psychological record to me.

02:17:44.000 And that's really no exaggeration.

02:17:47.000 I say, uh, can you guys hear me well?

02:17:50.000 Because I'm kind of being, I can't hear you too well.

02:17:52.000 If you uh talk a little bit closer to the microphone, that would be probably for the maximum audio quality.

02:17:58.000 There you go, we can hear you.

02:17:59.000 Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, sounds better now.

02:18:01.000 So, um, as for my pump, I wanted to bear.

02:18:04.000 I wanted to touch upon the topic of abortion as succinctly as I can.

02:18:08.000 Tim, in the somewhat recent past, if I can call it somewhat recent, you offered the thought experiment regarding people who would insist that abortion is, in fact, murder.

02:18:19.000 You said, well, if that were the case, I mean, well, if you look at a child that's being actively tortured in front of you, what would you do?

02:18:24.000 You'd take any means necessary to stop that abuse, to stop that violence.

02:18:29.000 And then, presumably, I mean, if it's the same thing, you would look at what's going on in these medical facilities.

02:18:35.000 And you react in a pretty much identical fashion, if that was the question you posed, correct?

02:18:43.000 Yeah.

02:18:44.000 And I don't think you had a particular answer on that, if I'm not mistaken.

02:18:46.000 I think that's just something you kind of ruminated.

02:18:48.000 Well, no, is that right, sir?

02:18:50.000 My point is there are a lot of conservatives who say that abortion is murder. 1.00

02:18:54.000 And so I asked the question if there was a man pointing a gun at the fort of another man and said, I'm going to murder you, you dumb son of a bitch, would you stop that guy? 1.00

02:19:02.000 They say, Oh, of course. 1.00

02:19:03.000 Would you use lethal forces at the guy?

02:19:05.000 Yes, if I had to.

02:19:06.000 Okay. 0.99

02:19:07.000 If a doctor had the forceps or whatever, and it's like, I am going to snip this baby's spinal column, would you shoot him? 0.97

02:19:13.000 They go, Well.

02:19:15.000 And I'm like, Okay, so clearly there's a distinction between these two acts that one is murder, but one doesn't rise to the point of the defense of others.

02:19:22.000 That's my point. 0.95

02:19:24.000 That if you believe it was murder, but however, we have had conservatives who say, Oh, yeah, I'd shoot him two seconds. 0.92

02:19:29.000 You know, it's rare. 0.94

02:19:30.000 Right.

02:19:30.000 So can I get the clarification?

02:19:33.000 You and the panel, where do you guys stand?

02:19:35.000 Because I'm going to do you guys clarify.

02:19:36.000 I mean, we're standing.

02:19:37.000 I kind of spoiled the person a bit.

02:19:39.000 You want to know where we stand?

02:19:41.000 You know, I think murder is a legal term. 0.95

02:19:42.000 So I always think of it as like just be accurate.

02:19:45.000 It's not technically considered murder unless it's illegal, then you would call it murder.

02:19:49.000 So, like, it just does a disservice to the movement to say it's something it's not, in my opinion.

02:19:55.000 Is this abortion?

02:19:56.000 Would you? 0.97

02:19:56.000 Is abortion murder? 0.97

02:19:57.000 Sorry, please. 0.66

02:19:59.000 Oh, yeah. 0.99

02:20:00.000 I think abortion is, of course, it's murder. 1.00

02:20:04.000 It's murder of a life.

02:20:06.000 And I mean, there's also the argument to be made you know, if you don't like abortion, don't have one.

02:20:11.000 But you could say the same thing about a lot of things.

02:20:12.000 If you don't like slavery, don't have slaves.

02:20:15.000 Like, I think that was an argument during abolition.

02:20:17.000 It was, yeah, it was actually an argument.

02:20:19.000 So, you know, yeah, I mean, it's, of course, it's murder.

02:20:23.000 But if that's a question, as Tim just mentioned, I don't know if he opposed it to you guys, but obviously, I think we're all in agreement here.

02:20:29.000 If you see a child, if violence is actively being done upon a child, obviously a born child, you know, walking in front of us, we're not going to just sit there, right, and be on the list.

02:20:39.000 But so, and if we view the violence against those in the room the same way, then, like, so let me ask you, Libby, how would you, like, How do you spread that tricky situation, Mr. Tim laid out for us?

02:20:51.000 What the tricky situation of when you see a child being abused, what do you do about it? 0.58

02:20:55.000 No, no, there's a woman giving birth and the baby is crowning, and the doctor's got, like, let's say he's got the snipping tool to cut its spinal column, and he goes, I'm going to kill this baby right now. 0.82

02:21:04.000 Would you shoot the doctor? 0.99

02:21:05.000 Would I shoot the doctor? 1.00

02:21:06.000 Stop him from killing the baby. 1.00

02:21:08.000 Oh, yeah.

02:21:09.000 In that circumstance, the baby's about to come out.

02:21:12.000 But abortions are legal at this point in Colorado. 1.00

02:21:14.000 This is how they do live birth abortion. 0.97

02:21:15.000 So it is legally allowed.

02:21:17.000 Would you shoot the doctor in a state where it is legal?

02:21:20.000 Well, I don't think I'd, I don't have a gun.

02:21:22.000 So, that's not the question.

02:21:24.000 The question is, you're holding a gun.

02:21:25.000 That's like the breakfast thing.

02:21:26.000 But, yeah, I think a doctor should be stopped from doing that.

02:21:30.000 Sure.

02:21:31.000 It's not murder.

02:21:32.000 I think that we're too reckless with the term murder.

02:21:35.000 You're saying abortion is not murder?

02:21:36.000 No, abortion is not murder.

02:21:38.000 Abortion is a terrible, terrible evil.

02:21:40.000 It's not murder.

02:21:41.000 But it's not murder.

02:21:42.000 It's a different evil from murder.

02:21:44.000 It's certainly murder at the point when a baby is crowning and it's butchered.

02:21:48.000 That's legal in Colorado.

02:21:49.000 Sure.

02:21:50.000 It's legal in Oregon as well. 0.89

02:21:52.000 Well, in Virginia, they wanted to have it so that you could deliver the baby, make the baby comfortable.

02:21:56.000 Right.

02:21:56.000 And then the mother and the doctor would have a conversation about what to do next.

02:22:00.000 Yeah, I think that's, I think it's murder.

02:22:02.000 I think it's, I think it's murder at 22 weeks gestation.

02:22:05.000 I think it's murder, you know, any time past that or before that, honestly.

02:22:09.000 I think it's, I think it's murder.

02:22:10.000 It's like saying it's grand larceny if you steal from under the limit of grand larceny.

02:22:14.000 Like it's just a legal term, the word murder.

02:22:16.000 Maybe you think, oh, I don't think murder is, no, I don't think, I don't think murder is just a legal term.

02:22:20.000 I think, type of killing.

02:22:21.000 It is, it is the willful destruction of life.

02:22:25.000 Illegal, willful destruction of life.

02:22:27.000 Well, all, I think a lot of it is illegal.

02:22:30.000 I think it's a biblical term, murder.

02:22:32.000 I think it's right there in the.

02:22:34.000 Guys, if I may interject.

02:22:37.000 Indeed.

02:22:38.000 If I may interject, Abby, I mean, I'm living.

02:22:40.000 My apologies.

02:22:41.000 That's my sister's name.

02:22:42.000 But we didn't get.

02:22:43.000 Your sister's Abby?

02:22:44.000 Yeah.

02:22:46.000 That's very cool.

02:22:47.000 That's a nice little, like, a wamp to that.

02:22:47.000 I like that.

02:22:49.000 It's very, very cute.

02:22:51.000 But we didn't get to pin you down, though, because obviously, like, you take, like, say, a 12 year old child, you know, very unambiguous.

02:22:56.000 12 year old child, someone's beating on this child.

02:22:58.000 If you have the means to start, you're going to start.

02:23:00.000 You're definitely going to get it, correct? 1.00

02:23:03.000 You slot that fool. 1.00

02:23:04.000 What did you say? 1.00

02:23:05.000 I don't understand you.

02:23:05.000 I'm sorry.

02:23:07.000 I'm saying that you see a child in front of you, a 12 year old child, totally unambiguous.

02:23:10.000 It's just violence is being done upon this child.

02:23:13.000 You're obviously going to do whatever is in your means to stop this violence.

02:23:15.000 Let's say you had a weapon on you, whether it be a weapon, whether it be you calling the police, calling for help, so on and so forth.

02:23:24.000 You're going to make an effort to stop this abuse that's happening in front of you.

02:23:28.000 You're not just going to be an onlooker.

02:23:29.000 You're not just going to be a bystander, correct?

02:23:31.000 I don't know.

02:23:31.000 I mean, it really depends on what the situation is.

02:23:33.000 I don't think it's the right thing to do.

02:23:35.000 I don't think it's the right thing to do to abuse your child, obviously, but like, When you're walking down the street in the city and you have somebody yelling at their kid, you know, is it up to you to like go up to that person and be like, stop yelling at your kid?

02:23:49.000 At what point are you making it worse for the kid?

02:23:51.000 I remember a situation when my brother was little and he was having a freak out in Copley Square.

02:23:58.000 He like threw a fit on the ground and his mom was like trying to get him up and was like, come on, get up, you know, and trying and grabbing him and like pulling him up and everybody was staring and it was really weird and embarrassing and people thought she was abusing him.

02:24:13.000 And he was really just throwing a tantrum, and she was trying to like get him up and get him to go back to like walking and like go home or whatever.

02:24:21.000 So it's not, things aren't always exactly what they are, what they appear to be either.

02:24:27.000 So, you know.

02:24:28.000 But, Libby, with all due respect, if you call it murder, that means something.

02:24:32.000 I mean, are you attracting your declaration that it's murder?

02:24:36.000 No, I think you're talking about two separate things.

02:24:39.000 One is the willful destruction of life inside a mother's body, which is murder in my view.

02:24:46.000 Which I say after having had a child, right?

02:24:48.000 I didn't always think that it was directly murder.

02:24:52.000 And then you're talking about someone yelling at their kid walking down the street.

02:24:55.000 Are you going to interfere in their life?

02:24:58.000 Like, I've been walking down the street and seen a guy screaming at his girlfriend.

02:25:03.000 We've gotten involved in that.

02:25:04.000 And the next thing you know, we're having a fight with this guy.

02:25:07.000 But he's just aborting her.

02:25:08.000 If he wants to abort her, it's not our position.

02:25:10.000 Sure, you know, whatever.

02:25:11.000 But like, how involved do you really get in other people's lives?

02:25:16.000 Abortion is something that has abortion is something that is a legal situation as well, right?

02:25:21.000 So, should abortion be legal?

02:25:23.000 No, I do not believe that abortion should be legal.

02:25:26.000 Is child abuse legal?

02:25:27.000 No, child abuse is not legal.

02:25:29.000 So, you know, the question of whether or not you're personally going to be a vigilante in these situations is a different question from what you think the law should dictate.

02:25:39.000 Ian was saying that he thought that any woman who tries to get an abortion should be immediately sentenced to death.

02:25:44.000 Well, they used to actually, abortion used to be illegal to, in many countries, it was illegal to the point where if you attempted an abortion, you would go to prison.

02:25:51.000 So you had situations where women would go to prison.

02:25:55.000 And have babies that they had tried to abort, and then the child would be partially raised in prison until the mother was released.

02:26:02.000 And that's pretty weird, too, right?

02:26:04.000 I mean, there's a lot of.

02:26:05.000 It's like Bane.

02:26:07.000 You know?

02:26:07.000 Yeah.

02:26:08.000 Well, this is.

02:26:09.000 Born and born in prison, you can get it.

02:26:10.000 This is in a Newt Hampson novel.

02:26:11.000 I think it's called Women at the Pump or The Growth of the Soil.

02:26:15.000 Anyway, it's one of those.

02:26:17.000 Guys, if I may answer the question myself, and Tim, I'd like for you to laser focus on me from over here, if I may suggest, because I really want you to blow my feet to the fire here. 0.51

02:26:26.000 Now, regarding this issue, I'll say, all right, yeah, abortion is murder.

02:26:29.000 Now, if someone were to, let's say, if someone were in the process of beating down a child with a baseball bat, but I make every effort to stop that, I absolutely would, for obvious reasons.

02:26:38.000 But then that begs the question well, I mean, because I'm trying to stop murder.
