Join Drew and Mary as they talk about the latest drama surrounding Elon Musk and Donald Trump, the latest in the Epstein scandal, and more. Featuring special guest Drew Hernandez of the band All I Really Need to Know and the Heavy Metal Lab.
00:06:23.000It didn't just start there, but that's where it went.
00:06:26.000They say, Trump's threat to cancel billions of dollars in government contracts with Musk's companies has ignited a new round of escalation.
00:07:34.000All of us knew that he was on the redacted version of the flight logs already, and nobody thought that that was a confirmation that he's a pedophile.
00:08:31.000That's a pretty big, not only accusation, but if he doesn't honestly believe that, I'm not saying either way it's justified.
00:08:39.000But if it's true, it's true, and people are going to want to know.
00:08:42.000But if Elon is truly just lying, like just to play politics over something like this, I think he should be canceled.
00:08:49.000He's throwing a fit because he thought that he could just – I don't understand how the richest man in the world doesn't understand how money works to the point where he thought he could cut a trillion dollars from discretionary spending that's not in the military.
00:09:55.000I don't think that—I think it's a net bad for the country, though.
00:09:59.000Having the issues going on, not having Doge cuts be—not having them actually be a part of the bill, or at least have more people in Congress speaking openly about having to make those cuts real and actually address the debt.
00:10:17.000The $36 trillion is not getting smaller, and we are going to see fewer and fewer people interested in buying our debt.
00:10:26.000The Treasury bills, and they went on sale last, very soft sales.
00:10:30.000They had to lower the price to get, or no, they had to increase the yield, so that way they were more attractive.
00:16:55.000So getting rid of, even if they get rid of like 2% of the people that work there, if they've managed to get them out and get them out of their job and get them out of D.C., that's a huge amount of people to fire.
00:17:08.000There's a lot of people that work for the government.
00:18:25.000The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts, Trump wrote in a Truth Social Post.
00:18:32.000I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it.
00:18:36.000Musk promptly responded, go ahead, make my day.
00:18:40.000He later upped the ante, writing, in light of the president's statement about cancellation of my government contracts, SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.
00:19:18.000Because it's like celebrity, politics, pop culture all rolled up in one drama.
00:19:24.000This is what every housewife, suburban housewife, wanted to watch on TV when they were watching the Jersey Housewives or whatever that show was.
00:19:36.000I am tomorrow, first thing, like, okay, so we have the culture war in the morning, but after that, I'm getting in the Cybertruck and I'm driving into all the liberal areas because I want them to cheer for me.
00:21:54.000You know, to be honest with you, I feel like a lot of the things that Trump says, very rarely does he say things that he isn't capable of taking back and just ignoring that he said.
00:22:04.000Now, I think that he might have a special, people might give him leeway that they wouldn't give to someone else, but the comment that Musk made was, like, line crossing.
00:23:48.000And I feel like a lot of people didn't understand that.
00:23:52.000And they just thought, oh, yeah, Elon is giving 300 million to the Trump campaign, like just to be nice, you know, because he's based, I guess, as if he had nothing to gain from that.
00:24:02.000Well, he just lost out on that gamble.
00:24:12.000It's backfiring that this affiliation became so close in the first place.
00:24:20.000Well, I don't know that I agree with your assessment of why Musk was involved in the first place.
00:24:27.000I do get the sense that Musk looks at the national debt and he sees an existential crisis.
00:24:33.000He got the role in Doge because he gave $300 million to the Trump campaign.
00:24:38.000That wouldn't have happened otherwise.
00:24:42.000This was the reason he moved away from the Democrats and actually decided to support not only Donald Trump but a bunch of Republicans is because of the debt.
00:24:54.000Yes, he's got interests of his own that would be to SpaceX or be to Tesla and whatnot.
00:25:03.000The real reason that, or at least it seems that the real reason that he got involved, considering what he was doing, was he wants to see actual shrinking of the debt.
00:25:11.000You don't have to get rid of the debt.
00:25:13.000You don't even have to have a plan to get rid of the debt.
00:25:15.000What he's looking to do is signal to the market that the United States is good for its word.
00:25:23.000As soon as the bond market went soft last week, that was a big signal.
00:25:29.000The point of him trying to make those cuts was to signal to markets, hey, look, the United States is still the safest bet in the world.
00:25:38.000That doesn't work by just cutting funding to transgender surgeries on shrimp.
00:26:09.000And we've been sending signals to other countries that, hey, the money that you spend on T-bills, You might not actually make that money back.
00:26:17.000The federal government might actually be a bad investment.
00:26:39.000But the point is, there are a lot of things happening in the market that are saying, look, The federal government might not be this big, reliable thing that we used to think it was.
00:26:51.000And that's because we can't actually make any cuts.
00:27:26.000Well, the big beautiful bill increases the budget for those things.
00:27:29.000But that's the first thing on the cutting room floor.
00:27:33.000The bill that Trump wants passed will boost the budget of—you're saying that when it goes to the Senate.
00:27:37.000If they want to, yeah, cut the deficit.
00:27:41.000Oh, you mean like if they actually want to bring the deficit down, they've got to stop funding the deportation.
00:27:45.000Yeah, they're not going to touch anything else.
00:27:46.000Yeah, this is what people don't realize is that we are addicted.
00:27:49.000You know, everybody out there who's got a small business knows exactly what this is.
00:27:54.000When you're trying to figure out where you're spending because you want to bring costs down, And then you go through your line items and it's like plastic cups and plastic forks.
00:28:03.000And then you're realizing it's all little things.
00:28:57.000And this is how you get the weird stuff in these bills.
00:28:59.000Like, I can't remember what it was, but the last Omnibus had something for, like, orange inspection fees to be subsidized or something, and it's like, that's very specific to, like, one county.
00:29:11.000Senator Rand Paul was saying that he would vote for it, and so he's actually signaling that he's movable on it.
00:29:17.000He said, I'd vote for it if we got real spending cuts, but this bill is the largest debt increase in U.S. history, $5 trillion.
00:29:24.000That's like giving your 16-year-old a credit card, watching them rack up to camp booze and gambling them, raising their limit to 10. It's irresponsible.
00:29:30.000Did Rand Paul not say that he wants spending cuts to the border?
00:29:44.000But the point that I'm making is Rand Paul, who's a fiscal hawk, he definitely is signaling that he's close to a place where he'll vote for it.
00:29:56.000So this is actually something that's still very much in play.
00:30:00.000Let's jump to the next story, my friends, from at the Democrats.
00:30:05.000Kill the bill and release the Epstein files tweets at the Democrats, who then tweeted, what is Trump hiding?
00:36:02.000Elon's got really great space technology stuff.
00:36:04.000I'm really glad what he did on X and bringing back free speech.
00:36:06.000Donald Trump is one of the best presidents, if not the best of my lifetime.
00:36:09.000Certainly he makes mistakes, but I'm happy with the job he's doing.
00:36:12.000So I would just say, all in all, I'm quite content with the work both of them have done already, and I have nothing to do with their personal beef with each other and don't care.
00:36:20.000Other than I enjoy the entertainment factor of it.
00:36:23.000But, like, the option was Kamala Harris.
00:36:27.000Everybody that's worried about what has or has not been done or what has or hasn't been accomplished, what they're going to accomplish, the option was Kamala Harris.
00:37:15.000He was I read on X. I don't remember the post so I don't have it here to verify or anything, but I read on on X there are people that did If you're actually serious about getting rid of millions of people that are here illegally, you absolutely have to have significantly more deportations.
00:37:40.000And the more deportations you do, the more likely it is that people will self-deport.
00:41:10.000President Trump tonight should sign an executive order calling for the Defense to Production Act to be called in SpaceX and seize SpaceX tonight before midnight.
00:44:41.000They're not going to raise interest rates.
00:44:44.000They're not going to lower interest rates, but they're not going to raise them.
00:44:46.000So, like, the economy is kind of, like, chilled out.
00:44:50.000If we can get this tax package across the border and across the line and get that, you know, put into law, then you can actually look at doing some real...
00:45:32.000In my mind, because I like both Elon and Trump, I'm just imagining they're both sitting on a couch together giggling as they both show each other their tweets.
00:46:00.000Like when you hear someone like Elon Musk say Donald Trump is on the Epstein files, you don't think there are people out there that are polishing weapons right now?
00:46:09.000There are people that are chatting that think it's 4D chess and that they're actually friends, but I don't because you're right.
00:46:19.000I could only imagine what Trump's security is thinking about right now at the same time, but maybe that's how Bannon sees it.
00:46:26.000Well, there were even, like, Epstein victims, I don't know if they remained anonymous or not, but they said they interacted with Trump and that he actually went out of his way not to make advances at any of the women.
00:46:46.000But I did read sources of Epstein victims saying they had seen Trump interact with Epstein and that they weren't even friends.
00:46:56.000They were more like vague business associates.
00:47:01.000And he never made any advances to any of these women he presumed to just be prostitutes.
00:47:10.000I haven't heard any of the details of his interactions.
00:47:13.000I posted the screenshots of these documents before, which I'll find if I – Well, I mean Epstein was obviously multiple foreign intelligence agencies, blackmail operations.
00:47:29.000The guy is by default going to be around a lot of very important people.
00:47:33.000Someone like Donald Trump will be a target to something like that.
00:47:38.000So I think it will be inevitably obvious that someone like that will be around Donald Trump in the past.
00:47:44.000But the big question mark is like, well, to what extent?
00:47:47.000I think Roger Stone wrote a book that had extensive research talking about how President Trump – I think to go to your point, I think actually helped some of the Epstein victims at one point if I have that right.
00:48:01.000This throws a massive monkey wrench in the whole thing.
00:48:55.000They're calling it the centrist Coachella as a reference to a bunch of moderate Democrats coming together to try and talk – not like they're going to a concert.
00:51:34.000In the wake of his fight with Trump, Elon Musk says, Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?
00:55:49.000No, that's so funny because the headline about Elon and Ghislaine Maxwell in that photo says Ghislaine Maxwell asked Elon Musk to destroy the internet.
00:56:17.000If I Google search, it doesn't come up.
00:56:19.000Ghislaine Maxwell asked Elon Musk if there was a way to delete information about oneself off the internet at this Vanity Fair party where they met.
00:56:57.000So I would hope that that would be investigated and that we would see whether or not it was an anomaly or something else that happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people who supported her.
00:57:11.000And Donald Trump was not able to do that.
00:57:54.000Well, I do think, to be fair, you know, like, Mary, what would you do if Donald Trump got up on stage in front of, like, 60 million people and said, Mary Morgan is a fat pig.
00:58:05.000Like, how would that affect your psyche?
00:58:35.000I mean, I don't want to be, like, I like Trump, so I'd feel kind of bad if he was insulting me because I don't know why I'd make him angry, but, you know, I wouldn't go the Rosie O'Donnell route where I'm like, Elon owns the internet and Trump is stealing the election.
00:58:48.000You would have to lean into it and actually get fat.
01:01:43.000And I was like, listen, I'm not like Ian.
01:01:45.000I'm not going to claim there's a global British empire running the show for everything.
01:01:48.000Just because he is the king of Canada.
01:01:50.000But it is funny what Canada, what the crown did.
01:01:54.000They had the Commonwealth nations be independent, but then enact them as the crown with special constitutional provisions for removing their parliaments and their prime minister, to which they've done several times.
01:02:42.000There was nothing that Trump said that makes me think that.
01:02:45.000Musk is, like, taking it personally throughout that barb, and I do believe that he's actually serious about, you know, starting to decommission the dragon capsules and stuff like that.
01:02:58.000Or what if, you know, Elon was given some disinfo?
01:03:04.000Maybe he has been really sitting on this.
01:03:06.000Maybe he does believe it's real, and maybe he does believe he's had blackmail on Trump just waiting to use it.
01:04:08.000Cracks down in illegals using Medicaid.
01:04:10.000The Big Beautiful Bill makes immigration harder and costlier by raising fees on asylum applications, humanitarian programs, employment authorization, unaccompanied children, immigration court proceedings, and border visa processing.
01:04:20.000There's more immigration stuff in the bill, but that does it for the main stuff.
01:04:24.000Immigration aside, the bill also cracks down on welfare abuse.
01:05:10.000I think that there is an incentive in Congress to pass legislation that will actually enshrine the doge cuts into law.
01:05:22.000I think that that can happen after this bill gets passed.
01:05:28.000And I think that if this doesn't pass, you're going to see a...
01:05:36.000So at least two consecutive quarters of shrinkage for the economy.
01:05:43.000So I think that the best move for the country is to pass this and address the other things in a separate bill.
01:05:52.000Well, I think back to the – because this is still in line with the Elon thing is originally when Trump won the election.
01:06:01.000And then we had President Trump getting ready to take office when they were developing the cabinet and kind of announcing what Doge was going to look like.
01:06:15.000And I think last Friday when they had their Oval Office meeting at the White House, they looked like friends.
01:06:22.000But at the same time, President Trump did reiterate that, that we do have some Doge cuts, but we're not done with Doge.
01:06:29.000And this is going to still be going on for the next year, year and a half because Doge's work is not done.
01:06:35.000Now, somewhere in between obviously the debt ceiling and the overspending, that's the argument you're hearing right now.
01:06:42.000That blew up probably over the weekend and then these couple days into the week.
01:06:47.000But my question is, does Elon believe that President Trump… We cannot or will not deliver with what Doge is planning to do with the, what, was it like one or two trillion dollars in cuts when it's all said and done?
01:08:58.000None of this makes any sense or matters.
01:09:00.000Say whatever you want, but whether or not this is going to increase or decrease, Choose your own adventure.
01:09:06.000Tons of accounts are saying the Big Beautiful Bill actually decreases spending from the government because of the reduction in immigration costs.
01:09:12.000We're going to increase the budget for ICE, which is going to decrease the costs in a greater number by removing illegal immigrants who are straining the system.
01:09:21.000And then on the other side, the corporate press and people like Elon are saying, no, the deficit will go up because it will cut like 1.3 trillion but increase something like 3.7.
01:09:31.000So it's going to increase the deficit.
01:09:37.000I choose to believe Trump can do no wrong.
01:09:42.000I don't know that I agree that Trump can do no wrong.
01:09:45.000And I do think that the philosophically correct move is Musk's move, right?
01:09:52.000But the practically correct move is going to be Donald Trump because Donald Trump's worried about, you know, the reality on the ground, not...
01:10:53.000That and five bucks will get me a cup of coffee.
01:10:55.000Or we can try and reform the system like Trump is doing.
01:10:59.000Yeah, I mean, in my opinion, that's the only thing that's going to work.
01:11:02.000Because if you try to, if this bill doesn't go through, you're going to raise taxes significantly, and you're going to end up with a recession.
01:11:09.000So that's going to be, and that's just going to be awful for millions of Americans.
01:11:16.000Yeah, I guess my biggest concern on all of this is that tomorrow the drama will be over and we'll be talking about something else, less fun and more boring.
01:12:09.000I actually need to find the name of it because it slips my memory and I think they deserve a shout-out just for the work they did on it, but I was so not sold on it.
01:12:17.000Well, of course, there's no such thing as a Sasquatch.
01:13:37.000We need to get a cardboard box full of just like old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirts and then just write Elon on it and film outside the White House like, Hey, they threw his stuff out.
01:14:31.000But let me stress, as I often have and will and love to, Germany, our ally in NATO, has accused the Ukrainian diving instructor as well as two other Ukrainians of bombing the Nord Stream pipeline that was delivering energy to Germany, our ally.
01:14:45.000Germany, our ally in NATO, was buying natural gas from Russia.
01:14:49.000So according to their arrest warrant, Ukrainians blew up that pipeline to cut off energy to our ally.
01:15:14.000Donald Trump ran in this country on ending the war and finding peace.
01:15:20.000He has been negotiating peace and Ukraine intentionally withheld information on this drone strike, escalating the war, and then afterwards calling for a ceasefire.
01:15:49.000Kachenko accused Russia of hitting residential areas with the drone attack, saying a high-rise building in the Solomiansky district of Kiev was damaged.
01:15:58.000Kiev's mayor, Vitaly Klitschko, also reported fires in the districts of I'm sorry.
01:16:03.000I'm not going to be able to pronounce that.
01:16:20.000I mean, I think that the fastest way to end the war, that might be the fastest way to end the war, but even if Trump decides that they get no more funding from the U.S., the rest of NATO is going to keep, Why are we involved?
01:16:34.000Well, yeah, I mean, that's fine with me.
01:16:36.000But I still think that, like, I don't think that the U.S. ending the support is going to actually get us to where we want to be, which is...
01:16:47.000I don't give a crap about what's happening in Burma right now.
01:16:50.000So if Russia and Ukraine want to fight, whatever has nothing to do with us at this point, Ukraine, let me just say it again, they are accused, okay, it's alleged, of bombing a pipeline supplying our allies with energy.
01:17:36.000And it also makes America look weak because if you have Trump in the White House that literally ran on promises of ending that war, now it's not happening.
01:17:46.000And so at the same time, I mean, it has domestic implications as well.
01:17:50.000You have the midterms that are upcoming.
01:17:52.000And the Republican Party has married itself to Donald Trump.
01:19:57.000I don't know what the best course of action would be.
01:20:00.000I'm not a military planner or anything, but for Ukraine, they're in a position where they kind of have to keep fighting if they're not going to just surrender.
01:20:13.000And I don't see them surrendering because they want to get back.
01:20:17.000I've heard, what's his name, talking about getting back to Crimea, which everyone knows that's not happening.
01:20:39.000Launching drones inside of Russia does nothing to help them win the war.
01:20:43.000It's only for causing pain to someone who's occupying your territory.
01:20:48.000If Ukraine had the resources to actually push on the war front and take back territory, that's where the focus would be.
01:20:56.000The fact that they did subterfuge inside of Russia, which is—it was a great operation, don't get me wrong, it was very clever, but to be honest, it's kind of minimal.
01:21:06.000Some people are saying, Tim, you don't understand, those bombers for the Russians were being used to bomb Ukraine.
01:21:12.000So the troops on the ground who are holding the territory that Russia needs to maintain control of Crimea, who are not being moved, were not a target of the Ukrainians, it's not more pressing to stop the men on the ground who are holding your land?
01:21:24.000They launched an insurgent strike covertly because this is what you do when you're in the resistance.
01:21:30.000When an occupying force comes in and you don't have the military strength to actually wage a battle and seize land, you try to shock and annoy.
01:23:57.000So for the U.S., maybe just the people who already live close to the borders.
01:24:01.000I don't think they'd flee the country, though, because I think the country is so difficult to even conceptualize an invasion that doesn't get stopped by the Rockies or get stopped by the Mississippi.
01:24:14.000The U.S. landmass in and of itself is really, really hard to take.
01:24:21.000like to think of like conquering it, like from an invasion, get a beachhead and then go city by city.
01:25:00.000When you're doing IVF, they can actually genetically scan your baby and tell you the color of the eyes, the color of the hair, whether they're going to be smart.
01:25:56.000This kind of trend is also, in my opinion, going to lead to an increase in IVF where women just go to a sperm bank or whatever and get a sperm donor and then do IVF and they're going to choose.
01:26:44.000It's every single nightmarish future dystopia that we've written about all in one.
01:26:48.000I wonder if there's going to be people that are going to start protesting against parents that do that.
01:26:54.000Because there are people that would call it an abomination and stuff.
01:26:57.000Well, the ethical disasters just keep multiplying for IVF, for surrogacy.
01:27:04.000Not only talking about the unborn who are discarded or indefinitely frozen, but also the children who are born out of this process are raising ethical concerns about just the psychological effects of knowing this is how you were brought into the world.
01:27:20.000And this type of stuff was always the logical end.
01:27:27.000Of holding people emotionally hostage and saying, why don't you want infertile people, infertile married Christian couples to have children?
01:28:01.000And a lot of the comments were from people saying, God gave you an answer and you tried to defy him.
01:28:07.000Well, the rate of complications for IVF-conceived births are incredibly high.
01:28:15.000And also, for surrogates particularly, I mean, they're not paid nearly enough.
01:28:21.000Just considering the risk that they're taking to their own lives because your body obviously recognizes you have a foreign genetic material inside you if you're, first of all, gestating from an embryo that was both not your egg and obviously not your sperm.
01:28:39.000So, yeah, more likely to have premature births, birth defects.
01:29:42.000They use a catheter to insert multiple because they know that not all of them are going to survive.
01:29:48.000I think that's why twins are more common with IVF because sometimes multiples survive.
01:29:56.000And it's just such a misnomer to even call them sperm donors.
01:29:59.000They're sperm sellers, and a lot of these companies prey on – Especially during the pandemic, they were encouraging men to sell their sperm for extra cash.
01:30:59.000There's, like, some young adult teen, like, young adult dystopian movie where, like, At a certain age, you get genetically modified to become pure or something like that.
01:31:50.000There's some movie where it's like I don't know.
01:31:54.000Yeah, it's like when you're young, you're genetically normal, and at a certain age, they put you through a machine that – Something like that.
01:32:56.000I don't know if there was any follow through on that and I'm glad, but I And people were sending me pictures of like, this is my grandchild conceived via IVF and you're saying that they're a piece of shit who doesn't deserve to live?
01:33:31.000Well, I mean, all of this stuff is like, there's a lot of people that are very comfortable with eugenics and I think the future is going to be full of eugenics programs.
01:33:42.000And I think that that's something that people are going to want.
01:33:46.000Because people, they're going to be like, look, do I want to have my kid, you know, fall behind when I can actually make sure that my kid gets, you know, every advantage out there?
01:36:23.000Elder Zimraya says, if Trump had already invoked the Insurrection Act to take care of the immigrants and judges, nobody would have taken Elon seriously.
01:36:33.000Invoke the Insurrection Act to take care of the immigrants and the judges.
01:36:36.000Well, I'm saying that it overrides the judges.
01:36:39.000To deal with the problem of judges, you invoke the Insurrection Act and just bypass them.
01:36:44.000Although, I do think Trump was actually planning for that.
01:36:49.000Jay Dirtbiker says, per Timcast tradition, I am writing this rant from the delivery room of the hospital, patiently awaiting the arrival of my first child.
01:38:26.000It's funny because I feel like that used to signal that you had a certain like value system or music taste or something like that or belong to a subculture or social circle.
01:38:35.000But it doesn't signal any of those things anymore.
01:38:38.000Like those girls probably listen to Sabrina Carpenter and like they just dress like that because that's what's in.
01:38:50.000We are not going to see the cultural shift with the next generation the way we've seen it with every previous generation.
01:38:57.000The reason why music trends changed was because the younger generation was always bigger than the previous generation.
01:39:05.000If I am a cheeseburger salesman and, like, there's a bunch of 20-year-olds, there's two times as many 20-year-olds as 40-year-olds, all of my marketing is going to be targeting the 20-year-olds.
01:39:20.000So when you're making music, what are you selling?
01:39:23.000Whatever it is the biggest market share wants.
01:40:16.000Because it's just whatever millennials were into because that's the bigger market share.
01:40:21.000And so, you know, young people are told what to like and they like it.
01:40:27.000And I'm not saying this of Gen Z or Gen Alpha.
01:40:28.000It's literally when millennials were young, music was made, and young people were told, this is the music you're going to listen to, and it was put on the radio.
01:40:35.000It was made to target a new demographic.
01:40:38.000Older people were like, ah, put on the classic rock station.
01:40:41.000I want to listen to music that I like.
01:40:43.000But there were more young people to listen to the new pop songs and to be attracted to new music.
01:41:49.000Yeah, they're on a house party tour where they're doing a bunch of free shows leading up to a real tour where they're opening for the Jonas Brothers, actually.
01:41:58.000But there are a bunch of Zoomers going to these house party shows that are free.
01:42:02.000And they're listening to the All-American Rejects for the first time because they didn't.
01:42:08.000It's like the first time they'd heard of the All-American Rejects.
01:42:11.000Because they just want to go to parties.
01:42:35.000Massive economic expansion, the end of the Cold War.
01:42:38.000Just goofing off, being lazy, getting the internet.
01:42:41.000And now, they didn't have any kids, so Gen Alpha's cooked.
01:42:45.000And Gen Z, because Gen Xers weren't having a lot of kids, so Gen Z is a little bit smaller than millennials.
01:42:49.000That means that older Gen Z are going to still be, like, this is the trend.
01:42:55.000Older Gen Z did not get new culture the way generations typically do, so they were attracted to millennial stuff, creating a massive millennial marketplace.
01:48:19.000So Captain Marvel did like a billion dollars.
01:48:21.000And the only reason it did is because everyone wanted to see Endgame and they wanted to know how the story was going to tie into it because it was like a prequel.
01:49:41.000And then when all the women started like, she's not alone, and they all stand up, and it does all the women, the whole audience started groaning.
01:49:49.000That's when, you know, and Kevin Feige went and fired all the woke people, and he's trying to bring it back, bring back Robert Downey Jr., trying to save his fractured, broken franchise.
01:50:18.000Percent Time says, Tim, you didn't read my super chat last night about being in the delivery room, so now I'm asking you to shout out the newest member of my family, my daughter, Catherine Diane.
01:52:27.000But, like, inflation is right now, like I said, it's at the lowest point it's been since inflation started running at the end of COVID, right?
01:52:39.000The number's like 2.1, which is exactly where the Fed wants it.
01:52:44.000And I don't think that, you know, enshrining the tax cuts as permanent is going to make inflation worse.
01:52:56.000No Epstein file release, no info on drones, no actual cuts to spending.
01:54:21.000But I think Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner is going to be epic, and I really love the scene.
01:54:26.000We've not seen a lot, but the scene where he's walking and he flicks the hand to take out the trucks was great, Guy Gardner.
01:54:33.000I think Crypto was a bad choice, and there's a reason why we don't include the children's TV show version of Superman in our movies, but fine, I guess.
01:57:19.000But what was miserable about it is that they should have just followed the comic.
01:57:24.000And that is, Superman points the spear, I'm sorry, Batman points the kryptonite spear at Superman and says, let this be the day you never forget the day I defeated you, and then throws the spear away, and then helps him up.
01:57:35.000Because the point was, you are not invincible and I can destroy it at any moment and never forget.
01:57:39.000Instead, he was like, wait, your mom is the same name as my mom?
01:58:06.000Jacob Schmidt says, when you have a population having kids through in vitro, bad traits aren't bred out, and vanity traits may be selected.
01:58:12.000Then the state is required to have the kids for the rest of time.
01:58:17.000Well, the issue that I see with it immediately is that we don't, the problem we have right now is we don't know the direct correlation between certain traits.
01:58:23.000So that may mean right now that like, hey, you know, minus 20% hypertension.
01:58:31.000And then it turns out later that that correlates with an increase in brain cancer or something.
01:58:35.000So I do think AI will sort all that stuff out after we get the data.
01:58:41.000Meaning after people start choosing for these things and they can correlate hypertension with cancer cells, then the AI is going to be like, oh, by the way.
02:00:01.000I don't think Russia should have invaded Ukraine and all that, but I just don't think we should be involved, especially if Ukraine's attacking us.
02:00:28.000So that is our ally having their energy access cut off by...
02:00:47.000I thought Biden made some kind of remark like that as well, which is part of why people thought that it was the U.S. that actually sabotaged it in the first place.
02:00:55.000Right after it happened, there were a lot of people that were saying, oh, it was probably the SEALs, it was probably the SEALs.
02:01:00.000See, Biden said this, blah, blah, blah, and they would bring up the clip, you know, tweet it.
02:01:40.000Share the show with everyone you know.
02:01:42.000Head over to rumble.com slash TimCastIRL for that uncensored call-in show where you, as members of the TimCast Discord, can talk to us and our guests.
02:01:52.000You can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast.
02:01:54.000And don't forget, Tales from the Inverted World goes live at 10. So if you want to have a bigger conversation about cryptids, UFOs, ghosts, it is open call-ins, meaning literally anybody can just call in.
02:08:38.000Did you guys see the Nick Shirley video where it's like the dude goes, oh, the FBI was doing a human trafficking raid, and all these leftists are protesting, being like, they're kidnapping people.
02:08:48.000It's like, well, if by kidnapping you mean arresting and by people you mean human traffickers, then indeed that's what they're doing.
02:08:55.000I guess leftists don't like that either because they like the human trafficking.
02:08:57.000I can't believe that the Democrats are so openly supporting actual criminals.
02:09:04.000I really am surprised, to be honest with you.
02:09:07.000After taking the pounding they did at the polls and losing so decisively, now they're still jumping out and saying, you know what, we have to defend not just people that are being deported, we have to defend the actual criminals.
02:09:49.000I guess what happened is the San Diego ICE did make arrests, not of the protesters, but then the protesters are trying to stop ICE vans from leaving the location in their neighborhood.
02:10:33.000Hey, yeah, so this is probably quite out there, but I thought it would be an interesting experiment.
02:10:40.000Do you think that J.D. Vance is an Elon Musk plant?
02:10:43.000And if so, how do you foresee Trump handling a rogue vice president if Vance were to break away from Trump with Elon's backing for a 2028 president?
02:13:39.000My question for tonight is for the whole panel, and that is, out of all the problems and scandals of the previous administration, what should be prioritized first?
02:13:49.000And probably excluding the border and anything that's already been taken care of.
02:13:53.000So anything that has yet to be taken care of.
02:13:56.000Civil Rights Division of the DOJ announced they're going after Wisconsin election system for not being compliant.
02:14:01.000They need to have a proper complaint system so that when people have irregularities or issues with the elections, they have a means of rectifying that.
02:14:09.000But I'm excited to see that Harmeet is taking it very seriously, and they've got to go after every rogue Democrat state that's doing bullshit elections.
02:14:56.000I mean, if you're going to have laws, you have to enforce them.
02:15:03.000I've met people in my day who were DACA recipients, they call it.
02:15:09.000And I'm just like, so when are you leaving?
02:15:12.000You are told they're going to deport you.
02:15:14.000Instead of making arrangements so you can go to your home country and try and find a way to live, you've decided to stay here in the United States, crossing your fingers that some Democrat will violate the will of the American people to give you amnesty.
02:15:27.000I say, you had ten fucking years to sort it out.
02:15:32.000And we knew during the first Trump administration that he was saying, we're going to send you home.
02:15:37.000So you had an additional eight years to sort it out.
02:15:48.000Well, at least that's an opinion you guys had.
02:15:51.000My question kind of was, or at least my thought process of that was, like, the auto pen thing was a huge thing that I was kind of concerned about, was thinking it was more of a problem.
02:16:02.000The bigger problem is elections because if they do not break that – fix that system, then Trump just loses in two years.
02:19:14.000Look, so, So I guess I'll shift to a different question.
02:19:23.000With all of the doge cuts to all these federal agencies where they're either firing a bunch of employees or incentivizing them to quit themselves, so obviously thousands of federal workers are leaving, I'm a little concerned that when The Democrats eventually come back into power because, I mean, I'm assuming that will happen unless they just fade into existence.
02:19:46.000But at that point, do they start rapidly rehiring all these people and then simultaneously claiming a victory that they added X amount of jobs to the job market when really That's not really job creation.
02:20:04.000They're just replacing shit that we didn't think was useful to begin with, but still claiming it's a win.
02:24:59.000It's not just about getting people to school.
02:25:01.000It's about getting qualified candidates, people that can actually do it.
02:25:06.000Just like Tim was saying, you can have the doctor, or you can have a politician and throw money at him, but if he's not an electable candidate, it doesn't matter.
02:27:19.000Yeah, I mean, that was the gist of it.
02:27:21.000I was hoping to go into a lot more of the...
02:27:33.000Actually, today on Grok, I asked it the same question, and at first it adamantly told me that it's most likely a real feud.
02:27:43.000But then once I pointed out that Donald Trump has a long history of doing performative feuds, like in the professional wrestling WWE, By the end of my half-hour debate with Grok, then it said it actually agreed with me, with the chances being 60-40 that it's staged.
02:28:05.000Yeah, I mean, look, I don't have a sense that it's staged personally.
02:28:09.000I think it's two dudes that, you know, have different goals and one has a more immediate goal, one has a longer term goal, and they're just trying to...
02:28:25.000Because both of the goals are necessary, are important.
02:28:30.000It's important to make sure that the economy keeps working, that we don't have major economic shocks, and you see all the signs pointing to problems with the economy, with the long-term health of the economy, but then there's the problems that are pointing to the short-term stuff like the The 10-year, the 30-year treasury bond.
02:30:37.000Anyway, Noble Six, do you want to add anything else?
02:30:40.000Yeah, just because Mary's here and because you all were arguing something about Hollywood earlier.
02:30:47.000I think it's been about a year, but I'm going to make another request pitch for the critical drinker to come on both your shows if possible.
