00:02:54.000We have the media simultaneously, various outlets saying, this is World War III, it is here.
00:02:59.000Especially in Europe and Eastern Europe.
00:03:01.000But then we have other publications saying, stop calling it World War III.
00:03:05.000The reality is, everybody just nobody knows.
00:03:09.000Everybody's got thoughts on when or how it will happen, but nobody really knows because when you look back at history, hindsight is 2020.
00:03:16.000But should it be true that Russia actually attempted a strike, an attack in a NATO member country, that could trigger Article V, which would require other NATO member states to join in and go to war with Russia.
00:03:30.000So far, it doesn't seem like Romania is arguing this is an act of war, but it is still an escalation.
00:03:36.000And the question, then, of course, is how many grains of sand until you have a heap?
00:03:41.000With the missile incursions into Polish territory, and oh, whoops, Russia made a mistake.
00:03:47.000We're not going to think too much about it.
00:03:50.000With the CIA director meeting in private with Russian intelligence for reasons we don't understand.
00:03:55.000And now with this, we have snowflakes potentially forming an avalanche, but we just don't know when or even if.
00:04:03.000Now, recently we saw Ukraine attack the Iranians in the Caspian Sea as they were supplying Russia with weapons, expanding the conflict, roping in the Iranians into the Ukraine Russia conflict, which of course brings the Americans in, which we've already kind of been in.
00:04:19.000And then we're entangled in this Iranian war, which seems to be another quagmire.
00:04:25.000And our last carrier was pulled out of the Pacific for the first time in generations.
00:04:28.000And China, of course, is salivating over Taiwan.
00:04:31.000Then you've got the capture of Maduro and the capitulation of Venezuela and the isolation of Cuba.
00:04:36.000We do have conflicts bubbling up all over the world.
00:04:39.000Maybe it means nothing, but we'll go through those debates.
00:04:42.000Plus, we've got some jurors coming out from the Lindsey Clancy trial, outraged that one man would not say she was not guilty.
00:06:28.000Like the world's ending, and then all of a sudden you go, right as the meter is about to strike, another meter hit it out of the sky, and it was gone.
00:06:33.000You see it in so many American movies.
00:06:36.000Just at the end of the movie, where all hope is lost, the thing saves the day.
00:06:39.000Well, it feels like that might literally be happening with artificial intelligence.
00:08:15.000Why do they need your private sensitive data?
00:08:17.000It doesn't make sense unless they're trying to spy on you for some reason.
00:08:21.000Most of us have already accepted that tech companies collect an enormous amount of information what we click, where we go, what we buy, who we interact with.
00:08:28.000That information is valuable because your attention is valuable.
00:08:30.000Keat takes a radically different approach.
00:08:33.000Keat is a free messaging file sharing and video calling app built peer to peer.
00:08:37.000No centralized company database holding your conversations.
00:09:25.000I got to be honest, I think people are tired of the anger, the vitriol, and I think most people are kind of just tired of the 24 7 news cycle.
00:09:35.000So we built an evergreen conversation show at the Tim Pool show.
00:09:38.000Men Don't Need Therapy is about to crack 1 million views.
00:10:03.000Romanian intelligence service says it prevented Russian sabotage operation.
00:10:08.000Romania's SRI intelligence service prevented a sabotage operation coordinated by Russia on Romanian territory.
00:10:16.000As Ukraine's European allies seek to counteract with this air Moscow's attempts to destabilize them, European countries blame Moscow for sabotage, cyber attacks, and disinformation targeting supporters of Kiev's war effort.
00:10:26.000They include an August drone attack at Leipzig Halle Airport, is it Halle?
00:10:33.000That ratcheted up tensions between Berlin and Moscow.
00:10:36.000Russia has repeatedly denied any involvement in sabotage.
00:10:39.000The Russian embassy in Bucharest did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.
00:10:46.000Russia has shut down the consulate in St. Petersburg, the German consulate.
00:10:50.000Germany has shut down the Russian consulate.
00:10:53.000They've accused Russians of drone striking an airport.
00:10:57.000There is now direct accusations that Russia has launched physical military strikes on NATO countries, including Germany and Romania.
00:11:06.000The question, I suppose, is let me do this.
00:11:10.000I know everybody gets angry when we put World War III fears or escalation in the title, but my friends, This is not me being like, hey, let's say World War III because it'll do better and it'll freak people out.
00:11:25.000Literally, when you search it on Google, you have conflicting arguments over the state of global conflict.
00:11:31.000Stop declaring World War III, says Loai Institute.
00:11:34.000Has World War III already started, says the New York Times?
00:11:36.000No, we are not on the eve of World War III, says Asia Times.
00:11:39.000The Japan Times, are we on the verge of World War III?
00:11:50.000The Washington Examiner writes World War III has arrived.
00:11:55.000Barack reveals secret Israel Syria talks, warned small military mistakes could spark World War III, how World War II could turn into World War II.
00:12:01.000The point is every major publication internationally has some article saying this is the debate right now.
00:12:09.000With Russia attacking Germany, with Russia attacking Romania, with Ukraine striking Iranian shipments to Russia through the Caspian, with the U.S. strike on Venezuela, the capture of Maduro, the isolation of Cuba.
00:12:22.000With the war in the Persian Gulf, with Iran refusing to back down, and China running sorties over Taiwan, we have conflicts bubbling up from every major world power in nearly every corner of the planet.
00:12:34.000The question, of course, is legitimate.
00:13:23.000During World War I, the Ottoman Empire was destroyed by the French and the British, and they set up Israel, where it's at, basically that's when that began.
00:13:30.000So, they took over Iran in early in the 20s and the 50s.
00:13:34.000So, that's part of that conflict post World War I.
00:13:37.000It's still vying and trying to seize control of the Middle East.
00:13:40.000It's been going on for about a hundred years since airplanes were invented and we really mastered artillery bombardment.
00:13:45.000Before it's opened up a new war, before like World War II, war was kind of a constant in Europe.
00:13:53.000There was like nuclear weapons kind of ended that.
00:13:59.000Europe is the big pain in the balls here.
00:14:01.000Not, I mean, the Middle East is its own issue, but like what's going on in between Russia and Germany, that doesn't really have anything to do with the Middle East.
00:14:10.000That has to do with Russia and Germany.
00:14:12.000These guys are the usual suspects, both World War I and World War II.
00:14:16.000Russia and Germany were major belligerents in it.
00:14:19.000The third part of the equation is the Ottomans.
00:14:21.000The Ottoman Empire, longest-there are no Ottomans now.
00:15:57.000And the Russians now, the Federation is not the Soviet Union, so their behavior is a question mark.
00:16:02.000And I think a lot of the technocracy that's being fielded out of the CCP with the Davos groups and things like that is a way to prevent a global war to go hot again.
00:16:11.000We're like, if we can pacify the population through technocracy and get people to come together in a lot of ways, communication and things.
00:16:20.000Like global wars has been nuclear weapons and the liberal economic order.
00:16:26.000Like, those two things have been the biggest reasons why there haven't been major worldwide conflicts.
00:16:33.000The United States and Russia had a bunch of nuclear missiles pointed at each other, and so it was economics.
00:16:40.000Like, and basically, the world was deciding whether or not it was going to be communism or market capitalism.
00:16:46.000And market capitalism has made most countries that engage in it, including China, Wealthy enough to think that, you know what, it's probably not a great idea to engage in all out war.
00:18:10.000And it's a huge deal to all these countries over there.
00:18:13.000But their main question was like, you know, if they end up attacking or doing something like this to a smaller NATO ally, are you guys really going to support sending American men to go fight for that country?
00:18:25.000To answer your question, 3,500 Marines landed on March 8th, 1965, when Johnson was the president.
00:18:39.000Before they had advisors in there before that advising the French troops.
00:18:43.000Yeah, the Russians are badass humans, dude.
00:18:46.000They're Viking descendants like we are.
00:18:48.000You know, the Vikings went west and became Britons and then Americans, and the Vikings went east and south and became river men of the north.
00:18:55.000The Russians, the fucking Russians, dude.
00:20:04.000The point is Ukraine wanted to join the EU because the Schengen zone would allow Ukrainians to freely move out Europe and get jobs, which would dramatically improve their lives.
00:21:48.000A Viking warrior named Rurik established a ruling dynasty in the 9th century, creating the political framework for early East Slavic lands.
00:21:56.000The Vikings came down the Volga River.
00:21:57.000That's how they were so dominant in Eastern Europe.
00:21:59.000Was through the Volga and other rivers.
00:22:01.000They were rivermen and they were seamen as well.
00:22:03.000It says that they don't have significant Viking DNA.
00:22:06.000However, the Rus people who established the first Eastern Slavic state, Kevin Rus, were likely of Scandinavian Viking origin.
00:22:12.000The small Norse elite ruled over the Slavic population, gave the land its name, and provided the initial ruling dynasty, the Rukids, but they were genetically and culturally assimilated into local Slavic country over time.
00:22:23.000Consequently, while Russians have Swedish Viking roots in their political and cultural ancestry, they do not have significant Viking DNA.
00:22:30.000But that's because their country was established by the Norse or whatever.
00:22:36.000And then other people came and joined after the fact.
00:23:12.000And it's crazy because, dude, you talk to the average American, they're not thinking about this one bit.
00:23:17.000I think because we essentially dominated the Cold War, the Americans think that the Russians are a non factor.
00:23:23.000The truth is, the Russians are one of the most vicious humans on the planet, a lot like Americans.
00:23:26.000And they both can save the day and wreck it.
00:23:32.000So I think the reason the Allies won World War II is because the Russians, Hitler idiotically betrayed them, but the Russians, the defense of Stalingrad is one of the most heroic tales ever told by a human.
00:23:43.000Ever, ever in the history of humanity.
00:23:44.000It's maybe the most epic defense in combat.
00:23:54.000Like, historically, from their own internal conflicts to living in the isolated north to fighting these wars and surviving winters.
00:24:03.000We understand negative 60 degrees Celsius, like NATO.
00:24:06.000But also, the important factor of like they win wars with the Zat Branigan method, which is sending wave after wave of their own men to die.
00:24:31.000Yeah, yeah, mass amounts of troops to overwhelm the enemy, even though the enemy has better weapons that stop the onslaught.
00:24:37.000So this is really, really cool, actually, for those that don't know.
00:24:39.000Zerging is a military tactic where you just send as many of your lowest level guys as fast as possible.
00:24:45.000And you'll see it a lot in competitive stuff.
00:24:47.000Just Charge right in with all your lowest level dudes.
00:24:50.000And it comes from StarCraft, where I could be wrong, but I believe it does.
00:24:54.000The Zerg is the rudimentary basic soldier.
00:24:56.000And you just, instead of trying to build up this complex military base with crazy science and tools, you just spam the weakest little guy and just keep sending him nonstop.
00:25:51.000The Chinese would like, they would send dudes to the front without rifles, and the guys with the rifles would be in the front, and they'd say, When someone dies, just pick up their rifle and you go.
00:26:13.000But yeah, the tactic of just sending wave after wave of humans into the meat grinder, I mean, that's kind of what's going on in Ukraine right now.
00:26:22.000Like, they're at a stalemate because of the trench warfare.
00:26:26.000Russians just keep sending people in, and the Russians have a lot more people than the Ukrainians.
00:26:30.000Dude, with those drones, too, those, what are they called?
00:28:11.000And that's where you have, you actually like have battle tested equipment that the U.S. has because of all these conflicts going on across the world.
00:28:19.000And then, last thing as well, after that, I don't know if you guys saw those memes after those radars were like exploding from American aircraft, but it was like, oh, they actually did work.
00:28:29.000You know that an American aircraft is nearby when the radars explode.
00:28:35.000I mean, you know, the U.S. is the Venezuela op really kind of made it clear that the U.S. does still have the edge over, you know, our near peer or peer countries.
00:28:51.000And Russia have massive militaries, and I'm not trying to make the argument that the US would be able to handle a full scale war with China with the same kind of results that we got in Venezuela.
00:29:02.000Clearly, that's not true, and that's not the point I'm making.
00:29:06.000But the US does have the edge over basically every other country, right?
00:29:11.000I mean, if it were a situation where China was confident that they had the technology to handle our military, they wouldn't have all of their navies.
00:29:21.000Or, sorry, all of their ships be built to naval specifications so they could use them in the event of a war.
00:29:28.000This is something that's really interesting, too, I think, is you often hear people say, okay, well, China has that as well, right?
00:29:55.000And there's plenty of industrial espionage that goes on.
00:29:58.000So, I'm sure that they have the schematics for a lot of stuff.
00:30:00.000I've heard rumors and read stuff on the internet that says that they have basically eyes and ears in most of our aerospace companies and stuff.
00:30:09.000But the materials that we use are still a secret, if I understand correctly.
00:30:14.000So, you can make a plane that's shaped like an F 35 or shaped like an F 22, but the materials that it's made of are still something that the US has.
00:30:34.000Trump hits back as Canada imposes new tariffs on U.S. goods.
00:30:39.000Canada's decision to retaliate against Trump's recent tariffs has triggered another front in the trade war.
00:30:43.000Now, I want to say right off the bat what you could expect is likely a serious negative for the American economy, for the American people, especially if you're working directly in these trades clothing, cheese, metal parts, wood products.
00:31:39.000They say the new Canadian tariffs targeting roughly 20 billion in U.S. imports snapped into place on Tuesday, prompting President Trump to retaliate hours later, but trying to limit the federal government's ability to buy Canadian goods.
00:31:50.000The president's move, conveyed in a social media post, escalated the widening trade war between the two longtime allies.
00:31:55.000The latest front began after midnight when Canada began enforcing tariffs up to 50% on a variety of U.S. goods.
00:32:01.000The approach is meant to mimic the taxes Trump imposed on Canada last month.
00:32:05.000Now, I want to give you the general understanding here.
00:32:07.000Again, You don't got to agree with this.
00:32:09.000But we saw a series of free trade agreements between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and we saw an attempt at this with the Trans Pacific Partnership.
00:32:16.000He got rid of NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, brought in the USMCA.
00:32:20.000There was a period over the past 30 years, the efforts of the liberal economic order, again, I'm not making that up, that's actually what it's called, wanted to create economic dependencies between nations for the purpose of preventing conflict.
00:32:33.000They wanted to uplift Canada and Mexico's economy at the expense of the U.S. economy.
00:32:38.000This means that the U.S. Doesn't refine aluminum despite the fact that we have bauxite mines, the raw material needed for aluminum.
00:32:46.000Canada, which we import aluminum from, imports their bauxite from China and Australia and other countries.
00:32:53.000There is absolutely no functional reason, no logical reason, for the United States to pay Canada for aluminum when we could build refineries here.
00:33:03.000It's a political circumstance created by our leaders and theirs.
00:33:06.000Basically, we cut a deal and say, tell you what, we'll get rid of our aluminum refineries.
00:33:10.000You guys can have that manufacturing, which will create economic boons for your people, but it creates problems like this, where Canada then has leverage now because we don't have these refineries anymore.
00:33:21.000They can come to us and say, you know what?
00:33:23.000We're cutting you off from aluminum because you got rid of your ability to produce it yourselves.
00:33:28.000Now, again, it was political when they did it, and it doesn't need to exist.
00:33:31.000Trump and Trump's administration, their view of this is we should just, we have bauxite mines in Louisiana.
00:33:36.000We can source our own raw materials, and this work can be for Americans who need these jobs.
00:33:42.000So they're basically telling Canada, you have no right.
00:33:49.000Breaking these trade agreements will cause pain.
00:33:52.000But the question is whether you agree with it or not, honest question why should we have established these trade practices in the first place?
00:34:00.000It was, as far as I can tell, an intentional no going back tactic from the people crafting the liberal economic order.
00:34:07.000They wanted to get us entangled where we couldn't untangle it.
00:34:10.000And now they seem to have succeeded because of the pain.
00:34:13.000It's like if your body's hooked up to a machine and it's helping you live, which is basically what they did when they drafted this liberal order, you try and take the machine, turn the machine off, good luck.
00:34:29.000I think the idea of just buying slop consumed the American people, where it was like, oh, well, if you get something made in Mexico, you can get it for a lot cheaper.
00:34:38.00010 years following NAFTA, we lost about, I think it was about around 700 to 800,000 manufacturing jobs 10 years after NAFTA was implemented.
00:34:51.000And it's like, yeah, you know, and the trade off was, okay, well, now we're looking at, Basically, modern day America, where you can get your super cheap thing from Amazon and it's super cheap and it gets here in a few hours, and that's great.
00:35:03.000But eventually, if you're creating such a consumer economy where, like, yeah, consuming is really easy now, we made sure of that between Mexico, Canada, and China, it's super easy now.
00:35:15.000And especially all these things, funny enough, the tariffs, one of the industries that has actually grown has been, I believe, aluminum as well.
00:35:22.000And these are important things, man, especially with the AI revolution.
00:35:27.000But with the AI revolution, Booming, where we can now, these new factories, these modern factories can now compete with that old argument of you can't compete with child labor and sweatshops.
00:36:36.000Now, granted, like we, it will cause pain to have a, you know, some kind of trade war with China, but the United States is, will win the trade war, right?
00:36:49.000It'll be a pain in the balls, you know, like Americans will notice, but Canada can't have the kind of trade war that they're implying they can.
00:37:04.000Even though we have to re industrialize, we have to bring jobs back to the U.S., we have to build factories here, we have to do a lot of stuff to really actually build up our own infrastructure here.
00:37:15.000Even under these conditions that we are right now, it's 12 times larger than the Canadian.
00:38:06.000All of these decisions aren't helping the midterms, but are they helping the U.S. five years from now with, let's say, aluminum was the example and building that industry up in the United States?
00:38:52.000What it means is right now you've got complaints there's not enough members of Congress or the Senate to represent all of these people.
00:38:57.000Give it 60 years if this trend continues, and people are going to say there are too many members of Congress.
00:39:01.000They're going to say, why do we have a member of Congress every 30,000 people?
00:39:04.000The nation, if this trend continues, we rapidly, rapidly decline the population.
00:39:10.000This means technology is produced based on the scale of civilization.
00:39:17.000So, for instance, a television cannot be made by a single person.
00:39:21.000I don't know the exact number, but I think it's like a thousand plus individuals to make one modern $300 widescreen LED TV because each one of these individuals does some minor task.
00:39:33.000When our population declines, and I wonder if this is intentional, if you take a look at the Black Plague, afterwards we had a renaissance, tons of people died.
00:39:44.000And the argument is the weak die, the strong survive, and the specialist, the crafty, it lifts up the caliber of the remaining individuals.
00:40:56.000I don't know if they saw AI coming in 1947 when they were drafting this up that they, that we could hyper localize our industry.
00:41:03.000And look, and people still work at these advanced, um, Manufacturing plants, right?
00:41:07.000It just, the jobs look different than they did in the early 1900s, don't they?
00:41:11.000So, you know, you still get, hey, you can still get good quality jobs.
00:41:15.000I'm pretty sure Tesla has some pretty advanced factories.
00:41:17.000How many thousands of people still work there?
00:41:19.000You know, I think my point overall about that is like, yeah, there is no better time to make sure there's national security reasons for this, there's tax reasons for this, there's industry reasons for this, just jobs, you know, creating jobs is, there's literally no better time.
00:41:39.000Alexander Hamilton's report on manufacturers, they were looking around the United States saying, dude, we're buying everything from our enemies andor just other countries that we don't have like influence over.
00:41:52.000And so it's like, yeah, man, you might have five to 10 years where the American people aren't really happy about it, but this is forcing industry's hands or, sorry, the basically businesses' hands to build in the United States.
00:42:06.000But you have to, and hopefully it succeeds.
00:42:07.000You have to convince people of the environmental.
00:42:09.000Costs because right away we're seeing data centers pissing people off, taking water sources and making noise, and like aluminum manufacturers will pump just foul chemicals.
00:42:18.000You get benzene spills in the local water supplies.
00:42:20.000Get ready to lose about 20% of your agriculture domestically if you're going to re industrialize for real.
00:42:26.000The filthy ass shit that we got to put on American soil.
00:42:28.000Maybe we don't need to bring back every single little thing, but would you agree that we need to bring back more medicine manufacturing instead of maybe China doing it?
00:44:07.000Now, to Ian's point, with this population decline, what you're talking about isn't a consideration.
00:44:12.000We are not going to be destroying farms because population is cut in half for the next generation, which means we can bring back this manufacturing and we need to, especially if our population is declining.
00:44:22.000Yeah, it actually feels like it's a perfect synergy that it's better off with a smaller population because we don't have as many mouths to feed.
00:44:28.000We can focus on getting the specific things done.
00:44:30.000We don't have to hire a janitor to clean up the old janitor's mess.
00:44:34.000Like, we don't need, you know, we can kind of because the whole job economy thing was sort of a psy-up from the banking system to get you to dig a hole and I'll pay you my money that you're going to pay me back in interest and I'll get you to fill the hole up and then you'll dig it up again and then you'll fill it up again.
00:44:46.000And as long as you guys are busy borrowing my money and paying me back with interest, I'm making money and they're not going to form a revolution.
00:44:53.000So, this jobs economy manipulation thing is kind of, we don't need to focus on that.
00:45:03.000I kind of feel like market capitalism doesn't really allow for that kind of stuff.
00:45:09.000Like, when you talk about, you know, dig a hole and fill it up, that's kind of what the government ends up doing with jobs programs.
00:45:15.000But, like, if you've got a business, right, you're actually looking to, you know, produce something at a profit to pay back the bank that you've taken a loan for, like, you're not going to have just make work.
00:45:29.000You can't really draw that comparison to, like, let's say Tim Cast.
00:45:34.000It's not a, you know, nobody's like, it's not, it's not like it's just not doing, nobody's doing anything and there's no revenue generated elsewhere and value brought here and here and here.
00:45:44.000And, you know, so I, maybe that's more of a government job thing where it's kind of that, I mean, yeah, because that, you know, the government then just prints the money.
00:46:33.000What you see in California, actually across the U.S., is most places you see for public schools, they're spending more per pupil than private schools in the areas.
00:46:44.000Keep in mind, private schools for profit.
00:46:46.000They're spending more, the government spending more per pupil than private schools cost.
00:46:51.000You can probably guess that private schools have better results too.
00:46:55.000Yeah, and the teachers don't get that money.
00:46:57.000It goes to administrators, it goes to teachers' unions, it goes to all of the things that surround the school.
00:47:02.000It doesn't go to actually teaching kids and it doesn't go to the teachers, it goes to the administrators, it goes to any number of bureaucrats in the public school system.
00:47:28.000That's how they measure success, literally.
00:47:29.000Yeah, I don't have it pulled up, but I saw a tweet just today that shows that the basically test scores are just cratering, absolutely cratering in the past 20 years.
00:47:40.000And I blame George W. Bush a lot because of No Child Left Behind, right?
00:47:44.000Like the incentive of No Child Left Behind actually was just push kids along so that way.
00:47:53.000They graduate, they go to the next class, and it doesn't matter if they've actually learned stuff.
00:47:57.000And so you end up just shoving kids through the system without being sure that they've actually retained anything.
00:48:03.000It's better to hold kids back to make sure that they learn than to just shove them through so that they're not left behind.
00:48:11.000You'll get either the kids that don't know what they're doing and they get shoved through and they have an F score, but they graduate, or you'll have the kids that are smart and they have to sit there and wait for everyone else to figure it out and then they get pushed through at the real snail's pace, too.
00:48:24.000I've noticed with Using Chat GPT like a school book, it is literally like a science textbook and that you can ask questions to.
00:48:32.000When you don't understand the term that it gives you, you can just ask what it means and then keep learning.
00:48:37.000You can get like a conventional six month education in like 18 hours or like 24 hours, depending on how fast you're doing.
00:48:43.000I'm one of the most pro AI guys around.
00:49:32.000Yeah, by doing it in the lab, like doing it.
00:49:33.000I like doing both reading and hearing it.
00:49:36.000I prefer all three if I can, but I think it's been a long time since we've talked about this, but I think there's like eight learning metrics that they track academically, and people have varying combinations.
00:49:47.000Some people just can't learn by seeing it be done, some people can't learn by hearing it, some people can't learn by reading it.
00:49:53.000They can only learn by taking their hands and actually grabbing something, and that means it's very difficult for them to learn abstract things.
00:50:00.000GPT can give me the textual answer, and I haven't paid for the upgrade yet, but it can give me.
00:50:04.000Visual representations of what it's explaining.
00:50:07.000So, I want to talk about this cultural stuff real quick.
00:50:10.000So, we're going to do a hard segue here.
00:50:12.000We've got this post I found on Instagram.
00:51:59.000Technically, we should have more viewers based on general show growth, but we're at around the same amount of viewers that we had in the previous midterm cycle.
00:53:05.000The next day, I posted, if you could press a button to kill a random person, but you were forced to take a million dollars, would you do it?
00:54:28.000So, when you do go on social media, like I did, a little bit, you know, Even over Labor Day weekend, posted a couple times, you are going to get a higher density of people who are perpetually online and less likely to be out and about with friends and family.
00:54:41.000For those of you that were online, like I was, I'm not saying all of you are bad.
00:54:44.000I'm saying a lot more angry people and permanently online people are active right now.
00:54:49.000As the tide goes out and many regular people leave, there's still water, which is the most of you.
00:54:55.000Regular people that are sitting there watching, smile on your faces saying, I may not agree with Tim on everything, but I enjoyed the show.
00:55:01.000However, you are going to get a higher density of scum.
00:55:05.000People who are angry in any direction, left, right, up, down, top, bottom, screaming, I hate you, you should die.
00:55:11.000The people posting about Charlie Kirk's death anniversary and mocking it.
00:55:37.000But I will be somewhat critical of her posting this for social clout.
00:55:40.000At the same time, I think we should recognize a lot of this is, you shouldn't get depressed about it because I've heard a lot of people say, man, it's just so nasty online.
00:55:47.000Yeah, yeah, but it's because regular, normal people aren't there right now.
00:55:50.000And maybe they'll come back in the winter, and this means you'll get a higher density of more passive commentary, but the negative is always going to be there.
00:56:20.000Like, I can, when I'm doing it too much, I can feel that.
00:56:23.000It's kind of the feeling when you're at dinner and you have your phone out and it's on the table and you're just like, you know what, dude, I don't need a screen anywhere near me right now.
00:56:30.000You guys ever do that where you have that realization and you say, okay, no, no, this doesn't need to be near me.
00:59:42.000And they're probably 50% of them came, like, basically grew the last year or so.
00:59:48.000Well, here's the principal issue is that they're all just saying the same thing.
00:59:53.000So the bulk of these lower tier, I'm not saying lower tier is an insult, smaller channels watch a big channel and then remake the video saying the same thing.
01:00:03.000And you have, you know, 5,000 of these people.
01:00:06.000That are doing this exact same thing, hyper saturating the market.
01:00:10.000You'll see like a thousand games with basically the same game mechanics, all about with the same level of depth, that all have like a 70 rating on Steam that got people play for an average of 15 hours.
01:00:21.000And it's just easy to reproduce what you know is going to catch people with a hook and not really thrill them.
01:00:28.000Now, I definitely don't want people to think that I'm not like encouraging people to jump in and start your own political channel and have your own political takes.
01:00:35.000Obviously, I want to super encourage that.
01:00:36.000Let me put a pin in that for one second.
01:00:40.000Whether it be political commentary or what have you, you should, to Ian's point early, you should do something because you want to do it.
01:01:31.000But like we were playing, like before All That Remains, we were playing like really, I was playing really heavy stuff that there was never a thought in my mind that I was going to be in a band that toured, that made enough money to support me.
01:01:58.000I was doing it for a decade thinking that I would work a regular job and play shows on the weekend.
01:02:02.000Maybe I'd go on tour for a couple of weeks, but there was never a thought that I was going to be in a successful band.
01:02:09.000So, and there's so many people out there that think, I want to go ahead and do, you know, political commentary because I see people are making money.
01:03:47.000Why would the guy down the street who's making videos talking politics buy or sell from someone who's doing identical stuff saying the exact same thing from them?
01:05:21.000So don't do it because if you do want to be someone that is respected or has an opinion that's worth listening to, it can't just be look at me crying, I'm a widow.
01:05:30.000I think the currency that they're playing in, and yeah, I mean, I feel terrible for this woman, obviously, but like I think the currency that she's shooting for is dopamine hits for likes.
01:05:41.000I mean, I don't even, for people like this, you know, I think it might be a kind of a different conversation of it's not going after maybe being famous, maybe it is.
01:05:50.000Or it's not going after having a big page, but it's going after the attention.
01:05:56.000It's a non sustainable way to accrue attention because if you rely on crazy thing happened to me today for your videos to get the attention, it doesn't sustain.
01:06:06.000After like a year and a half of that, you'll realize what a shell you've become seeking crazy things.
01:06:11.000So you need to produce cool content in some way like ideas that you have, processes that you're building that you can show people, and then make videos to amplify what you're doing.
01:06:46.000People enjoy it and you can do your hobby and document it.
01:06:50.000I fully encourage people doing that stuff.
01:06:52.000If you love it, if you're doing it for the wrong reasons and trying to be famous, Or you're constantly crying on camera every single day, no bueno.
01:06:59.000Also, if there's like a million people making a video and you want to make videos like that and you think you can and you know you're the best, you have to do it because if you don't, other people will take the space that are lesser than you.
01:07:30.000Yeah, I think one of the challenges right now, and it's a lesson I learned a long time ago in the space, is obviously you're going to be entering a cesspit.
01:07:38.000If you choose to engage on social media, it is going to just be a, I don't know, a mosh pit.
01:07:45.000People are screaming, they're fighting all the time.
01:07:47.000And this is kind of the point that I'm getting at that it's time to stop.
01:07:51.000You know, I've been fairly like, screw you, I don't care what you think for a long time, but I'm just not going to engage largely anymore at all.
01:07:59.000And I think if you take a look at, Well, I'll put it like this.
01:08:12.000The funny thing is, I've gained a lot of followers on X just being me and posting what I think when I feel like it, even if it pisses people off or is silly.
01:08:37.000And for that, they get less death threats.
01:08:41.000You know, when you choose to stand before someone and tell them, shut up, you're wrong, they are going to focus on you.
01:08:48.000If you ignore all of these people and just do the work, well, they stop trying to bait you and stop fighting you because you're not giving them anything in return.
01:09:28.000And like I said, this is a lesson we've all known about for a long time.
01:09:31.000But I think at this point in my life, especially with the family, I'm like, yeah, just no more.
01:09:34.000And I won't call anyone out specifically, but there are a lot of personalities that you know who host big shows who never, ever engage with their audience.
01:09:43.000Well, we're always going to have our Discord membership and our Super Chats and stuff.
01:09:46.000But on other platforms, I'm just not commenting.
01:09:49.000There's a value to negative communication because it's like threat detection.
01:09:52.000People appreciate your willingness to confront the negative, the elephant in the room, but it's such a gauge where we have the opportunity to create positive momentum with AI, replicate a video game in two hours or make a movie in 15 minutes.
01:10:06.000I think it's very healthy to step away or refocus away from the negative stuff for a time to create a lot of goodness in the world because it's just your word against theirs, man.
01:10:16.000The machine is trying to outpace you and you've got to be better.
01:10:49.000was harder than her work as a fifth grade teacher and they confirmed there was one holdout juror i asked them what they thought of him being described by the prosecution as a rogue juror here's what they said
01:11:03.000he was very arrogant he really did not take anything that anybody said the nurses he he tried to ask a question about the medications and we went back to the report From South Shore Hospital.
01:11:57.000I actually, there were three forms I had to fill out, and I started filling them out.
01:12:02.000I wrote my signature on each one, and then he said, But I'm still not going to say that she's not guilty by reason of insanity.
01:12:11.000I'm not sure if rogue is the right word, Sue, but every one of us in the hours of a frustration would get up and walk the room because you just couldn't sit anymore.
01:13:21.000I think there's a conflict that nurses were present, that there were nurses lobbying on her behalf is a problem.
01:13:30.000This means information not material to the trial was present and influenced the jurors.
01:13:35.000I understand it's an impossibility to not have people who might be subject matter experts on this, but something doesn't sit right about nurses on the jury saying outright.
01:13:44.000Yes, for this reason, she's not guilty.
01:14:24.000Have you guys ever seen the 12 Angry Men or whatever?
01:14:30.000The one holdout who convinces all the other juries?
01:14:33.000If I was in that room and that guy was like, and I was on, let's say I was on board part of the 11 to 1, and the one guy says, it's not going to happen.
01:15:03.000Like, clearly to sit there and take the abuse of, you know, 11, nine angry women and two spineless men to just be like, nope, not doing it, sorry.
01:17:01.000And if you are lazy or ignorant and you don't know that you need to do that, that's not an excuse to commit a crime.
01:17:06.000And if you chose, Lindsay, to get a bunch of psychedelics, pharmaceutical psychoactives because you were so depressed, because you had been malnourished, and then you ate those of your own free will and someone else didn't put them in your mouth and force it down your throat, you chose that lifestyle and you chose to kill the kids as a result.
01:18:51.000He said that, uh, he's like, I don't understand why there is like not guilty because of insanity, right?
01:18:58.000Like, if you're insane, it's not every all the more well.
01:19:01.000But the point he was making is like, I don't, I don't know why that even exists because if you're insane, all the more reason to put you in jail, right?
01:19:08.000Like, you shouldn't be given a more lenient sentence because you're insane.
01:19:18.000Definitely shouldn't be in normal society, like in general society.
01:19:21.000You should be isolated and put into either prison or I think that we should have, you know, asylums.
01:19:26.000But like, you clearly can't function in a normal society if you're, if you're particularly, if you're separating you from normal society.
01:19:34.000You don't even need to look at it as a punishment if you don't want to separate that person because what on earth are you doing risking having that person that was insane that killed three people back on the street?
01:19:43.000You're trying to mitigate harm to the individual themselves.
01:19:46.000Like, if you look deeply into the eyes of a retarded person and you see, That they're truly a human like everyone else, but they have whatever syndrome or issue.
01:19:53.000You're looking deep in the eyes of me.
01:19:55.000Yeah, you see the humanity in this person who you would consider, like, whatever, developmental handicapped, whatever the term is.
01:20:00.000And then if they go and start killing neighborhood dogs, you don't want to throw them in a hardcore prison.
01:20:25.000Like, it's better for the person that committed a crime to be removed from society for society's sake than to allow them to continue to be in society.
01:20:36.000I don't know what kind of prison or what kind of facility they need to be in.
01:20:41.000That's, you know, someone else can decide that.
01:20:43.000But if you're talking about someone that's violent, they shouldn't be allowed to just be like, oh, well, you know, you had, you know, whatever the argument is.
01:20:53.000If you're a violent criminal, Take them out of society for the rest of society's sake, for the possible future victims of the person that's violent.
01:21:02.000How many more times do we need to see some like psycho schizo, you know, homeless person waving around a knife and killing somebody?
01:21:11.000How many times do you really need to see that before you say, okay, no, that person needs to be separated?
01:21:23.000It's not about, for me, from my perspective at least, it's not about punishing the person that did the crime.
01:21:28.000It's about protecting the rest of society, right?
01:21:30.000Like we want to live in a safe society.
01:21:33.000We want to live in a society where we can walk around in the streets.
01:21:36.000Without fear of being, you know, assaulted or what have you.
01:21:39.000So, those people that are violent criminals, take them off the streets, put them in jail, put them in some kind of facility.
01:21:47.000That's what's best for society overall.
01:21:49.000Do you have a preference or do you know enough about the trial to suggest Lindsay Clancy should go to either a prison or a mental institution?
01:22:15.000The thing is, it's possible that a not guilty by insanity results in life in a mental institution, but it's also the possibility that she gets out at any point.
01:22:21.000She has a very strong argument for, oh, well, that was postpartum.
01:22:56.000I think this is the case just happened from Corey Walsh, a 40 year old mother from Frankfort, Illinois, charged with first degree murder, death of her two year old son, Barrett Walsh.
01:23:20.000Like, that's why, or that's one more reason why the punishment should fit the crime, right?
01:23:26.000Like, if a woman has postpartum depression or what have you and has, you know, they come up with some excuse and they have a little episode or whatever and they end up killing their kids, or they might think if I do this, I'll get let off.
01:24:22.000Biden, a self described former crackhead who was convicted on federal gun and tax charges, said that his top qualification for becoming president is adhering to the rule of law.
01:24:34.000Here's my qualification for becoming president.
01:24:36.000If you believe in the Constitution of the United States of America that you swear to uphold and protect, I want the next president to commit to one thing to adhering to the rule of law, he said.
01:26:15.000Some people were probably thinking they're supposed to like him, so they're doing it for real.
01:26:18.000Other people, like, just laughing their balls off in secret, but being like, Yeah, Hunter, glad you're on the forefront.
01:26:23.000Because, look, look, if this is legitimately thinking about running Biden's ex, his crackhead son that was on the board of Burisma selling out our country to the liberal economic order, like, good luck, guys.
01:26:33.000He said, He may have to run for president.
01:26:36.000In 2028, during an interview with John Katz and Matitis on his WABC Cats Roundtable radio show on Sunday, I'd like to see him debate JD Vance because it will give Vance a bunch of fuel.
01:26:49.000You know, it's just, what's the right word for it?
01:27:08.000The Clintons, the Obama administration were so miserable in so many different areas that, as much as I mean, a lot of people just couldn't stomach Trump at all.
01:27:17.000I used to frame it as the great example of me being in the Uber, and I think I was in Houston going to Glenn Black's show.
01:27:24.000And the driver was like, man, it's like, I wish Trump wouldn't talk the way he does, but I voted for him.
01:27:29.000And I'm like, I hear that a lot from people that Trump just kind of, you know, why does he got to be like that?
01:27:37.000That was already a deviation from the decorum.
01:27:39.000Throwing Hunter Biden, and it's just like, I'm at the point where it's just, okay, it feels like riding the atomic bomb down with the cowboy hat.
01:27:46.000Yeah, I mean, what else do you hear people say, though?
01:27:50.000They say that Trump is that businessman, right?
01:27:52.000So they'll say, oh, personality, I don't know, but oh, he is a businessman.
01:28:49.000He knew how to come with an action plan, build the wall.
01:28:51.000That was his action plan, which is something.
01:28:53.000Which, by the way, is being built and fully funded right now, just to let everybody know.
01:28:56.000And like other people, their action plan is the current status quo is bad.
01:29:00.000Like, no action plan, basically, just complaining about the old action plan.
01:29:02.000If you come with, like, we're going to build a space elevator and here's how we're going to do it, you'll get a lot of people getting behind you.
01:29:08.000If you have a vision of some sort of better future, that's what you got to sell the people.
01:29:12.000I can't imagine the communists have any version of a better future.
01:29:16.000Or if they have a plan, they might say, like, no, when we're all together, we can do this together.
01:29:24.000The craziest thing is, I've been doing a lot of DSA street conversations over the last couple weeks.
01:29:30.000We've been hitting that hard, and we'll go over like the DSA platform.
01:29:33.000You know, that co chair did that famous Fox News rundown of their platform, and you'll get people that say, like, it's a lot of feel good stuff.
01:29:41.000And they also think, with socialism, they think that it is more like equal, equally spread out and not like the power doesn't centralize, bro.
01:29:51.000That is literally exactly what the power ends up doing.
01:29:53.000So they say, a lot of these people that you'll talk to on the street, they think it's like capitalism is completely centralized and that's all it is, and nobody has money.
01:30:01.000It's like, Well, dude, what you're advocating for is literally like five people at the very top having literally everything and picking and choosing where it all goes.
01:30:11.000Both the Soviet Union devolved into, they promised communism and end up with a vanguard where a small group of people oversee and control the military and then the entire economy.
01:30:18.000And the Chinese happened the same way.
01:30:20.000They said, we're going to give you a republic, the People's Republic of China.
01:30:24.000They lie to you with the communist carrot and then they give you the stick of basically a small junta, a military council running the show.
01:30:35.000I see no evidence that a communist in promise revolution could ever lead to anything other than a dictocracy where you've got, you know, one plus guy.
01:30:55.000It's worse than that because they have central planners that will say, this is how much wheat we need, because this is how much flour we need, because this is how many loaves of bread we need.
01:32:34.000If there is a market for it and people are purchasing it, that means that actually, yeah, people find value in these different kinds of toothpaste.
01:32:41.000There's also privateers that will make.
01:32:44.000Unnecessary market surplus just in case for that rainy day that a central planner will never see coming.
01:32:51.000And so when they run out of food, you're like, actually, somebody does have it because this one private company decided to go rogue and develop 10 times more than it needed.
01:33:00.000The central, it's just having many, many planners is way better for an economy than having one.
01:33:05.000Well, they also lied about the quotas that they were meeting enough because they didn't want to get in trouble, which led to like massive famine and them actually not having enough.
01:33:22.000Well, and even if it wasn't, I'm sure there were plenty of people that were killed, but even if it wasn't, you know, Being killed, you'd lose your position.
01:33:29.000And if you had a nice, cushy position in the bureaucracy and your family has a nice apartment that's probably not nice by United States standards, but in the Soviet Union, you had a nice apartment, you'll lose that stuff if you don't get fired from your family.
01:33:41.000Then you have to go and be knocked out of everybody else.
01:34:22.000Yeah, he's definitely been a willing pawn of the liberal economic order to cement.
01:34:27.000International economic relations between the Chinese, the Ukrainians, the Americans.
01:34:31.000So he's going to have to answer for that and he will and he is.
01:34:34.000But still, just because he's out now kind of spilling the beans, hey, that's cool.
01:34:39.000I want to get on your good side, Hunter, because I want you to tell all.
01:34:42.000Maybe you want to wait till the big guy's out of the picture until you do it.
01:34:45.000But Joe, you know, I'm talking about your father still being alive and tarnishing his living legacy.
01:34:49.000But at some point, if you really want an alliance of true Americans, you're going to have to be completely transparent with what you've experienced.
01:34:58.000Until then, dude, he's just a mouthpiece.
01:35:02.000I'm happy to see him get propped up because he'll get shredded down diplomatically on the stage.
01:35:08.000And Bernie Sanders isn't going to give JD Vance enough of a run for his money.
01:35:12.000He's trying to slow down AI development.
01:35:13.000Bernie Sanders, I don't think he's talked about running, but yeah, he and AOC both submitted a bill that is an AI moratorium for not just the United States.
01:35:22.000They're trying to get other countries, China, to actually have a moratorium on AI development.
01:35:28.000And that would be like trying to get them to stop.
01:35:30.000Building the nuclear bomb right before World War II and asking the Germans not to build it and then promising you that they won't.
01:35:37.000Anybody with a brain understands that the only place that would actually slow down on the development would be the West and then everyone else would continue building at full speed.
01:35:46.000When you say West, you mean the United States because there's no significant AI companies that are doing anything in Europe.
01:35:54.000Yeah, it's very strange that you want to slow that down.
01:35:57.000I know there's downsides to unleashing AI, but.
01:36:00.000It's better to have it happen here than elsewhere.
01:36:02.000It's not really that strange because he's like, he's anti the things that AI promises are all things that Bernie Sanders is against.
01:36:09.000Like the idea of AI taking people's jobs.
01:36:12.000So Bernie Sanders is like, no, we shouldn't have AI because we'll think of all the jobs we'll lose.
01:36:17.000You know, he's just, he's against people having control.
01:36:23.000Like, so he doesn't want people to have their own AI.
01:36:25.000He doesn't want people to have access to that kind of stuff.
01:36:27.000It's actually pretty in line with Bernie Sanders' kind of worldview, right?
01:36:31.000Like, if you're a socialist that thinks that, The government should control things for people and it should be a top down society.
01:36:37.000Having private companies developing these super intelligent AIs is something that you'd be against.
01:36:42.000Yeah, it could lead towards intense corporatocracy where, like, open AI becomes one of the most powerful governments on the planet with a standing military and command of, like, robots.
01:37:19.000The Trump admin said, How about we reverse this?
01:37:21.000If you stay at home with the kid, you get the $9,000.
01:37:24.000That way, you can pay your bills and pay yourself to raise your kid.
01:37:28.000The current system, as has been put in place over the past several decades, incentivizes, whether accidentally or on purpose, mothers and fathers to leave their kids with other people at schools or daycares instead of staying home with them.
01:38:05.000They're just saying, no, you've got to be home with your kids and you'll get this grant.
01:38:09.000I think it's, I wouldn't implement this from scratch.
01:38:12.000If we didn't have any welfare programs, I wouldn't say create this.
01:38:15.000But considering it reallocates from an existing welfare program that incentivizes parents leaving their kids with somebody else, I think it's a good thing.
01:38:23.000The Republicans need to be giving something to the American people for their votes because whether we like it or not, the argument of pull yourself up by your bootstraps, young man, that ain't going to fly.
01:38:48.000I mean, look, if your option is, look, man, go out there and work hard and do it by yourself and you'll get the, you know, blah, blah, blah, and it's going to make a man out of you.
01:38:56.000Or, hey, we're going to give you all this free shit.
01:38:59.000Like, people are going to be like, hey, I'll vote for the people that are going to give me the free shit.
01:39:16.000And, I like the idea of people being motivated to go out and do things and, and, you know, work hard to make something of yourself.
01:39:25.000But there is a lot of validity to the argument that, hey, look, the people that are going to go out there and work hard and do something, they're going to do it whether you tell them to or not.
01:39:35.000As long as you don't make it physically impossible, which a lot of these countries are right now.
01:39:40.000Across the West, like all over Europe, they make it practically impossible for you to start your own business and pay employees and, you know, Innovate.
01:39:48.000And it's not like random why the United States became this just juggernaut of innovation over the last 150 years.
01:39:57.000It's because, dude, you came over here, you weren't hopping on welfare.
01:40:00.000You weren't allowed to even come here if you're hopping on any public dole.
01:40:03.000We encouraged entrepreneurs to come here and create.
01:40:06.000And so I think that still needs to be an important conversation to encourage American greatness.
01:40:14.000But as for transforming an existing I don't know.
01:40:19.000I would probably have to sit on this one a little bit, but I think just hearing it right now, I wouldn't have, I agree with Tim.
01:40:25.000I wouldn't have a problem with so much transforming it to encourage people to stay home.
01:40:29.000I think that childcare is incredibly unusual to me.
01:40:33.000I will talk, I'll have conversations with people.
01:41:51.000And you're not going to get people to do that by just saying, well, look, man, I know it's going to be hard, but pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
01:41:58.000You just, it's just not like I don't like it.
01:42:01.000I don't, you know, but you've got a situation that just sucks.
01:42:23.000So the program right now pays $9,000 per kid for you to be at work.
01:42:27.000So if a mom and a dad have a kid and the mom says, I'm going to get a job, they go, Okay, we're going to give you money for that, which creates a perverse incentive.
01:42:34.000It separates parents from their kids, strengthens the institutionalized learning facilities and these childcare scams, to be completely honest.
01:42:43.000And the bureaucracy, the education bureaucracy loves it because they get that money at the end of the day, right?
01:42:48.000It all goes into the bureaucracy somehow.
01:42:52.000I look at this kind of like do you spend a boatload of money on your kids that are failing to try to get them to the average level?
01:43:01.000Or do you spend money on the kids that are excelling so that way the kids that are excelling can really excel?
01:43:06.000Because who's going to do more for society, right?
01:43:10.000I think that it's a better option to say the kids that are excelling, we're going to spend money here.
01:43:23.000If it was I to pick a kid or a small group of people, I would have picked the bright kids and fund them to do better.
01:43:29.000But if I was like a city planner, I'd have to do both to make sure that the kids that were struggling don't get left behind because they'll form gangs and then mess up my city.
01:43:37.000So you kind of have to bring them in and slow down.
01:43:41.000If they're the kind of person that's going to get into gangs and going to be the kind of criminal element or whatever you want to call it.
01:43:51.000They're not gonna, you're not gonna be able to educate them by throwing money at it.
01:44:05.000And that holds back all the normal kids and the ones that excel.
01:44:09.000And it doesn't take a classroom full of bad kids, it takes a handful of them to be like, you know, like if you got a classroom with, I don't know, 25 kids or how many are in a classroom nowadays, you get two or three bad ones.
01:44:22.000And that means the rest of the class suffers.
01:44:48.000I think unemployment also should be inverted.
01:44:51.000You shouldn't get paid to have no job.
01:44:55.000You should get paid a little bit extra if you have a job.
01:44:58.000I think there's a lot of people that use these programs genuinely.
01:45:02.000And there's also a lot of people that use these programs nonstop for years.
01:45:07.000And so it's like, you know, I think as a developed country in the world's superpower, I would like to see us have, you know, at least some safety net for people that, hey, life hits you hard, man.
01:45:21.000And there's a lot of stories, and I'm sure a lot of people that are actually watching this right now that maybe they grew up like that and they actually needed those programs and the family worked really hard and they eventually got off that.
01:45:33.000And I think we should have programs like that.
01:45:34.000The problem is we have people that, Are just perpetually on welfare for their entire lives and their kids' lives.
01:45:40.000They'll get unemployment and then they'll intentionally not get a job or they'll pretend like they're trying to get a job to keep getting unemployment.
01:45:55.000So, like, if we could incentivize people to maybe you get a little bit of money if you're unemployed or you need food stamps, but if you get a job, you're going to get three times that in government assistance while you get back on your feet.
01:46:05.000That's the UBI idea, and it doesn't work.
01:46:07.000It'd have to be a limited amount of time, and then people would try and game that.
01:46:11.000They'd get fired, they'd collect unemployment, then they'd get the job to try and get the job.
01:46:58.000The issue is when you do a universal guarantee, people go, look, if I work 40 hours, I'll be able to eventually save up and get that nice car.
01:47:07.000If I don't work at all, I can do whatever I want, whatever I want, and at least the bus is there.
01:47:12.000So people just eventually stop working.
01:47:51.000So if they were to get a job and to make more than their unemployment for a short period of time, it wouldn't be a guaranteed universal setup.
01:49:37.000They will say, don't take a lesser paying job because then you and your kids will be homeless, which will create a bigger problem.
01:49:42.000What they should have done is let me get the lesser paying job and augmented that with a little bit less than what I had been making with unemployment, but still something.
01:49:50.000And rather than just cutting me off as soon as I get a gig.
01:49:52.000I think there's a fair argument to make that they could say, take the job and we'll pay the difference for a certain amount of time.
01:49:57.000Or the difference plus 10% or some realistic argument.
01:49:59.000The problem there is what are they saying?
01:50:01.000That in three months, when this difference expires, you quit that job?
01:50:59.000So again, if everybody in the country had an identical moral worldview to Seamus Coughlin, no one would complain about unemployment welfare because They would try as hard as they could not to be on it and they wouldn't exploit it.
01:51:15.000But then you bring in people from Haiti who don't care, or people from Somalia who explicitly have said, These are the rules you put before us.
01:51:36.000Over 25% of Philadelphia's population, and there's some places that are even higher than this, is on food stamps.
01:51:45.000I mean, the abuse in some of these programs, and I'm just talking about welfare just in general here, not unemployment, of course.
01:51:50.000Welfare in general is, I mean, it's got to be, there's probably 100 times the amount of people that are on these programs that should even be on them.
01:56:29.000We get everything we do made in America because we want to be true.
01:56:33.000But I think the sad reality is not enough people actually care.
01:56:38.000And it feels kind of like I am legend, sitting in the top of the tower looking down at all the people carrying their Chinese manufactured skateboards with smiles on their faces.
01:56:48.000And I'm like, guys, shouldn't we make these boards in America?
01:56:51.000One or two people say, you go, Tim, and then they go and buy a Chinese made board from the shop.
01:56:56.000So it's really hard to do when people are like, I don't care about the boards.
01:57:01.000I want them now, even if it comes from China.
01:57:03.000And it's like, okay, I guess we should probably just switch to Chinese boards.
01:57:09.000We'd make so much more money if you had both on the website and it said, do you want to spend $58 and wait nine weeks, or do you want to spend $37 and get it in five days?
01:57:18.000People are going to be like, what the fuck is going on?
01:57:20.000I know they're going to be like, but you'd be like, this one and have it all in Chinese, be like, the CCP flag, be like, this will support China.
01:57:26.000The slaves in China building your board quickly and making it fast.
01:57:28.000And getting your American made one could result in an order going into a factory that went out of business.
01:57:32.000You guys, we traded industry, American industry, for cheap, quick shipping slop.
02:00:16.000You're just saying, okay, well, the price that you're getting them for is significantly higher.
02:00:20.000So here's the issue we could sell the boards for 100 and then just tell the shop, we're going to give you 60 per board you make to keep you in business.
02:00:28.000Then the question is, will our viewers want to buy a board for 100 bucks?
02:00:32.000Then the issue, so the principal issue is right now, let's just do math hypothetically.
02:00:36.000A skateboard manufacturer in the United States needs to sell 1,000 boards per month to break even.
02:00:42.000The minimum they can sell a board for is $30, $30.
02:01:22.000I got to be honest, like the people who want to buy the boards who are fans of the show, we're getting more people who are like, I don't care about a manufacturing.
02:01:30.000So we're like, maybe that's the reality.
02:01:33.000I think to push back on that really quick is there are different industries where the manufacturing process with this, I brought up this point earlier with the new technology when it comes to the manufacturing.
02:01:44.000They can make these products for pretty close to equal what you're getting them from China.
02:01:50.000And if they're made here, you can get them a little bit faster as well.
02:01:52.000I'm not saying every single industry is that way.
02:01:54.000Maybe there's a lot of labor involved in building skateboarding.
02:01:57.000The problem with skateboarding is that it's completely dead in the United States.
02:02:00.000So the American manufacturers are competing with each other and not getting enough orders.
02:02:12.000Let's grab a couple more before we go to the uncensored portion and talk more about this.
02:02:17.000KJX says, in honor of Tim Cass' tradition, over Labor Day weekend, my nephew Zach had his second child run to this world by his brave wife.
02:02:37.000I just had Claude rewrite 40,000 action script lines of code from an old Flash game, recreate the entire game perfectly, implement design elements that were never implemented but are sitting dormant in the code, and then told it to reuse the code to make a sequel to the game.
02:09:01.000It was when I was a kid, it was like 70% white working class, firefighters, city workers.
02:09:07.000They all moved to this neighborhood because it was cheap and they had to live in the city limits.
02:09:10.000Today, it's largely Hispanic with a lot of Asian.
02:09:13.000And the reason for this is not net migration, it's that the white families that live there didn't have any children.
02:09:20.000And the Latino families had a lot of children.
02:09:22.000So the population is actually the same.
02:09:24.000It's gone up only by like a fraction of a percent, but you can just see who did have kids and who did not have kids.
02:09:30.000And so, you know, what I was saying is, I. I've got no issue with the people who live there, largely Latino and some Asian for the most part.
02:09:40.000They're fine people for the most part, but it's not the way I grew up.
02:09:43.000I grew up with the American Christian tradition snow falling on Christmas, throwing snowballs, building snow forts, dogs barking, and all this stuff.
02:09:51.000And the people who live there have Feliz Navidad.
02:11:13.000And I can't go back and show my home to my child.
02:11:17.000He's saying it's basically turning into not a community, but a bunch of strangers from third world countries that are coming there and immigrating.
02:14:03.000The mestizo Mexican native Central American is it should be dominant, and so, like, explicitly, dude told me, I believe that they own Texas and California and are responsible for why America is the way that it is.
02:14:15.000Oh, they were all conquesting the natives anyway, those were all Mexican Spanish people that came, yeah.
02:14:21.000The Spaniards came and mixed race with the natives, creating a mix.
02:14:26.000All those Mexicans that are yelling, Viva la Mexico, are Spanish conquerors, they're descended from Spanish conquerors, just like we are, not all of them.
02:14:34.000Likely that some conquistador was involved in their journey.
02:15:10.000And I'm not saying everybody there hates white people, but I got to tell you, like this one dude I knew explicitly said, my family has said this is what we're doing and this is why we're doing it.
02:15:45.000And it's like, whereas maybe you get some stuff like that that's similar in the black community, it's more just like anti white just because they don't like whitey.
02:15:52.000This is more of like kind of a conquering ideology in a way.
02:15:59.000This is the first I've heard of La Raza, particularly since the history of shared cultural identity among people of Mexican, broader Latin American heritage.
02:16:07.000Dude, the Patriots that are like Hispanics in the U.S., I mean, they are.
02:16:11.000Some of the most patriotic people you will ever talk to because they maybe their family members or grandparents grew up in Mexico or some other country and they understand why America is so great and they have that unique perspective that a lot of people don't have.
02:16:25.000So, you know, while you do get that extreme in the Latino community, you also get major patriots.
02:16:32.000Not the majority of Hispanics, but still, those patriotic ones are very patriotic.
02:16:39.000I grew up, you know, Caucasian, basically.
02:16:46.000Directive given to me to outbreed black people or Mexican people to make the country.
02:16:50.000Oh, you didn't have that talk with your dad?
02:16:52.000I guess because they were resting on their laurels, maybe they should have been like, hey, at least be on the defense against other races and cultures that want to outbreed your white people.
02:17:09.000Like, there's other people out there that really don't like white people and Americans.
02:17:15.000At least since, you know, like all my life as a Gen Xer, it's like, You know, racism and seeing race, seeing yourself as a white person, was considered very bad.
02:17:27.000You know, and we didn't get the sense that other races saw themselves as that race, except for maybe black people, because black people, you know, were a significant minority in the U.S.
02:17:38.000And they kind of always had the, you know, we have to stick together thing going on.
02:17:41.000But like, the only reason why that was pushed, and that was real, that wasn't a feeling, that was true, and they pushed that, and that's propaganda that they pushed.
02:17:49.000The only reason for that is to get people to accept their replacement in their communities.
02:18:43.000So essentially, what happened was there were 160 plus Colorado schools in the area that were doing an ice out protest, a walk out from school on Friday.
02:19:04.000She started this event and it went all up and down the state of Colorado.
02:19:08.000And I said, okay, well, there's a large gathering.
02:19:11.000It's going to be down at Lincoln Park slash La Alma Park.
02:19:14.000They renamed the park, coincidentally.
02:19:17.000And this school walkouts are going to be down in Denver.
02:19:19.000So I said, I'm going to, you know, I report on stuff.
02:19:21.000I'm here and I do all kinds of stuff in the Denver, Colorado area.
02:19:26.000I'm going to go report, ask some questions to these kids and get their thoughts on why they're protesting ICE and just kind of be that man on the ground, you know.
02:19:37.000And very quickly, it devolved into targeted attacks and coordinated efforts by the adults at this event that pointed me out, as well as several other journalists that were assaulted.
02:19:51.000I was not the only person that was assaulted there.
02:19:54.000There were five assaults, at least two robberies, three people went to the hospital, and all because there were directed, coordinated efforts from adults at this event that pointed us out as agitators, as provocateurs, as white supremacists, the typical leftist tropes.
02:20:20.000The goal is to get you hurt by doing that.
02:20:25.000And they're all high school kids, right?
02:20:26.000So, like, it kind of sucks being a big, you know, burly, big ass dude and having to succumb to a mob of 100 students, you know, attacking me.
02:20:39.000But I'm not going to swing on a kid, you know.
02:20:42.000But I think I made the right decision.
02:21:15.000And to your point you weren't mentioning earlier, like my grandfather is a direct, like he grew up in Mexico.
02:21:21.000Like I'm a direct, like Hispanic American, like, you know, like second generation American.
02:21:29.000He was a Korean war vet, but I have strong pride in this country.
02:21:34.000And sad thing is, my friend who was there with me, she is a first generation legal migrant, first generation in her bloodline to speak English in America.
02:21:45.000She was assaulted, two black eyes, and sent to the hospital.
02:21:49.000A Hispanic woman was assaulted by anti ICE protesters in Denver, Colorado.
02:23:03.000There needs to be some sort of, you know, never let a good crisis go to waste scenario that the left is going to institute to further push along their agenda to promote maybe this, you know, lack of better terms, a Patriot Act 2.0.
02:23:18.000But from a legislative perspective, like they need this, they need this violence in the streets.
02:23:25.000What could, what do you guys see that might be in the future?
02:23:30.000What would actually, like, what kind of violence would?
02:23:33.000Well, I wonder if the reason why we haven't seen a lot of riots is not because of USAID being gone, but because the Democratic institutions realized woke was crazy.
02:24:00.000I think, spot on with that, when it comes to, eh, you can kind of just sit back and let the gas prices and the economy.
02:24:08.000I mean, you know, we're talking about getting done with like four years of record, a 40 year high inflation.
02:24:13.000Dude, just that alone is putting pressure on the American people, let alone the gas prices and everything like that.
02:24:18.000But I think it's a mixture between them.
02:24:21.000Maybe backing off, but also I think that we've witnessed them trying to push this multiple times over the last two years.
02:24:30.000I think they've been looking for a George Floyd moment with a lot of these riots going on.
02:24:35.000Look no further than pushing the ice facility protests and riots, and literal riots, is you do it for 100 days straight, hoping that maybe something devastating happens, right?
02:24:53.000What were they saying at the Delaney Hall Ice Facility?
02:24:55.000They were saying that they were shifting the argument away from, oh, well, it's deportations and we're not happy about that, to, oh, well, there's bugs in their food.
02:25:05.000So they keep crafting all these narratives to get people rioting in front of these facilities.
02:25:10.000And I think that when they're doing that, they're fishing for that big, big moment where it's like, oh, maybe there's a shooting in the crowd.
02:25:17.000Maybe an ICE agent does something just unimaginable that they can continue.
02:25:24.000And I think they've been largely unsuccessful with that because, one, I don't know, maybe you need, maybe they haven't gotten the support of all leftist groups.
02:25:34.000BLM's not really out there in full force, you know, so it's kind of a little bit more challenging maybe with anti I stuff.
02:25:40.000But also, I think that maybe they're not going full throttle with Trump's current polling as well.
02:25:48.000If they were polling so well and it looked like they were just going to absolutely crush it and There was no infighting on the right wing.
02:25:56.000I think that the left would be investing a lot more in getting something like this going to push, you know, kind of their next.
02:26:17.000January 6th was as close as I saw people in the Republican Party get to taking the bait.
02:26:23.000There may have been FBI in the crowd, like government agitators setting up what looked like a, you know, And the more snowballs I see get thrown or wherever the fuck they were throwing across the street in that video, and people not responding violently.
02:26:34.000You know, I said it out loud when Gavin McGinnis was supporting the Proud Boys and then Antifa, and I saw them tussling on the street, and it reminded me of the brown shirts and the black shirts, the Nazis and the fascists and the commies fighting in pre World War II Germany.
02:26:47.000I could see like all it takes is like taking the bait.
02:26:51.000If you start fighting back, that's when they'll crack down on everybody, they'll kill all the weak, the ones, the useful pawns, and then they'll set up their technocracy, which they've been trying to do with fucking flock cameras anyway.
02:27:02.000So, they'll commit crime and then say, Hey, see, we need crime.
02:27:15.000No, yeah, Ian, you've been rolling a lot of ones tonight, but I think that that was a 20.
02:27:19.000No, I appreciate that because that's exactly what I'm trying to do expose and record, document, observe, see what's happening, and not take the bait.
02:27:29.000And because this is part of their tactic instigation, you know, acceleration.
02:27:36.000And when we sit here and we see what's happening, we see what's happening on the street, right?
02:27:41.000And if we expose their infrastructure, we expose how they're choosing to target children, just like communists did in the old, trying to indoctrinate these young minds into false ideals, like we have to expose that.
02:27:56.000But we also cannot retaliate in violence and in aggression because that is exactly the catalyst that they need to flip the script and narrative against us to then push this further technocracy that we all are worried about.
02:28:26.000Do you guys really think that, like, so when you say technocracy, what comes to my mind is like, you know, people like the AI, you know, kind of tech guys or people like in Silicon Valley.
02:28:43.000Desire the kind of world that, like Antifa desires?
02:28:48.000Do you think that their motivation is to inspire Antifa?
02:28:53.000Because the, the, and I ask this because the communists, the left are broadly against AI and against the kind of progress that it's offering.
02:29:05.000So I feel like it's not the technocracy guys.
02:29:09.000I think that if it is a, you know, if there are people that are interested in, in, Inspiring violence from the left.
02:29:18.000I don't think that it's the guys that are like, hey, let's build the AI and build the future.
02:29:24.000I think they're people that are actually looking backwards and saying, we need to have some kind of class war.
02:29:31.000We need to get the guys that are building AI.
02:30:19.000Holding more meetings under that administration.
02:30:21.000My general point here is I think politicians will use the stuff that they have available to them in tech, which is a mixture of entrepreneurs, tech bros, which are a lot of them are waking up.
02:31:17.000I think it's less about what they like specifically and more about what they will do to control your life.
02:31:24.000Yeah, I align with that because I think that when I think of the tech.
02:31:27.000I think less about Silicon Valley and more about Davos and the Swiss francs working with the Communist Party of China to develop a corporate governance system.
02:31:34.000It's more of the political side than it is the tech side.
02:31:37.000They're just going to use what tools they have available.
02:31:39.000They're happy to see Antifa as a tool that they will fund and provoke to start a class war or a street war with the Proud Boys or whoever the fuck is dumb enough to fight back.
02:31:50.000And then that will cause an implosion within the United States.
02:31:52.000The technocracy will rise, put up cameras everywhere, and stomp both Antifa and their rival gang out and then have total technocratic control.
02:32:18.000You know, I'm going to be, I mean, this is a developing story.
02:32:22.000I appreciate you guys taking it on and talking about it.
02:32:25.000But I've got a lot of people reaching out to me as far as what happened, what went down, more to come as far as arrests or, you know, being investigated in this regard.
02:33:18.000And then probably threw it away, could never get it, and got a police report.
02:33:21.000But I'm not probably going to get my camera back.
02:33:24.000So I got a Gibson Go set up on my X page.
02:33:30.000It's under an article there if you guys wanted to check it out.
02:33:33.000I appreciate anyone in the IRL, anyone in the stream to follow me on X, follow me on Instagram.
02:33:38.000I talk about all things politics, culture, social media, news, everything Colorado related on Break the Chains Media on all social platforms.
02:34:12.000I'm going to ask you dumb questions again, so let me start off with it.
02:34:16.000This is a question for the panel, for everybody involved.
02:34:19.000Whoever has something to say, feel free to chime in.
02:34:22.000So, it's related to the start of the show to the Russia war in my neighborhood here.
02:34:28.000So, just want to ask so, considering that Germany and the EU itself rely on the Russians paying for the war with Ukraine once the war ends, and since they are borrowing money to support Ukraine, what is the likelihood of Germany being willing to plant a false flag in this conflict and activate Article 5 of NATO in order to thwart their own demise?
02:35:24.000It's possible they could do something like that to try and sabotage AFD.
02:35:29.000But I mean, the result of conflict with Russia isn't good for Germany at all, right?
02:35:36.000Like, even if the situation, excuse me, even if the situation, you know, activates NATO, you know, Europe is going to, Europe is right next to Russia.
02:35:49.000You know, there's a couple of countries in between Germany and Russia, but it's not, it's not like the, they're not insulated like the US is.
02:35:58.000You know this plenty well being from Serbia.
02:36:08.000And is it possible, like, in Ukraine's interest for Germany to get attacked?
02:36:12.000Well, kind of, if that activates Article 5.
02:36:14.000So it could be a false flag coming from outside of Germany, from like the Ukraine or some extra government body that's trying to activate Article 5.
02:36:25.000One of the first things I thought of was, is this a false flag?
02:36:29.000And, you know, honestly, if Germany has been provoking the Russians and there's evidence that these NATO countries have been provoking and that that would nullify.
02:36:40.000If one of your defensive partners attacks someone, you're not on call to go join them in their offensive war.
02:36:46.000It's only if they get legitimately attacked, which makes me think it's not a false flag because they know the US is just going to say, fuck you, we're not going into war.
02:36:55.000Like, if there's a war and the US doesn't want to go in, they're not going in.
02:36:58.000They're going to be like, oh, shucks, we have this piece of paper that says we have to commit our military force to some bullshit.
02:38:55.000I mean, look, it is possible that Russia's looking at the United States tied up in Iran and kind of like, you know, maybe now is the time to make some moves.
02:39:07.000But I don't have any kind of really good sense of, you know, what kind of goals Russia has.
02:39:19.000You know, parts of Ukraine, they're not looking to back down in Ukraine, but I don't know that they have, I don't know that they have, you know, broader ambitions to get back, you know, countries that were formerly part of the Soviet Union.
02:39:33.000We've got two significant meetings with the Russians and the Americans in the last month.
02:39:38.000You probably heard John Ratcliffe, CIA director, went there, and it was like a 15 minute meeting.
02:39:49.000Then on Saturday, three days ago, Steve Witkopf and Jared Kushner go there to meet with Putin directly for more than three hours, which is a very good thing.
02:39:57.000And that indicates that the U.S. and Russia are planning a de escalation no matter what these European dudes do, and that probably we're going to stick Europe with the bill for reconstruction and give Russia. Partially what they want.
02:43:33.000So, the people asking what I'm talking about, it's this we've decimated their top leadership.
02:43:38.000They're all dead, but they still maintain the Iranian revolutionary Islamic government.
02:43:44.000The Trump administration has gone back and forth in negotiations, but not made any direct accomplishments as to what they're claiming they want to accomplish.
02:43:51.000We've been, a deal is here, an MOU, it's signed, and every day back and forth at the end of every week, we stop reporting on it largely because there's been no definitive movement.
02:44:00.000Trump claims that we now control the strait.
02:44:02.000We control a portion of it as we have since the start of this war.
02:44:05.000If your argument is that they're trying to keep the strait open, it closed because of the initiation of the war.
02:44:11.000So one can make the argument that we've crushed them in many ways, but we've not had regime change.
02:44:16.000We've just eliminated their top brass, and now they've got weaker, stupider brass still running the IRGC and their government.
02:44:22.000We are now going on six months, seven months, and diesel is really high.
02:44:27.000The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been depleted.
02:44:29.000We're now going to be offsetting American domestic production with Venezuelan heavy crude.
02:44:34.000And using American domestic light crew to try and refill the SPR, I don't see any reality where someone could be saying, like, we're winning, unless the goal is specifically to obstruct the Strait of Hormuz, which I do think is a big component.
02:44:50.000But at what point, like, we're not gaining, we're just an inactive conflict that seems to be making no, no, no, no progress.
02:45:37.000Is only going to be Republican due to a tiebreaker vote from JD Vance, and the House is now leaning further.
02:45:42.000The advantage Republicans had to buck this historic trend is being destroyed.
02:45:46.000It's not the only issue, but it's a large issue, and it's lost a lot of people out of it.
02:45:51.000So the point is, whatever your argument is about why we're engaged in this war, I think principally it's jamming up the Strait of Hormuz.
02:45:58.000We have to be there actively and permanently for that to remain in place, which means sooner or later, if that is the case, the U.S. has to bail out of that conflict.
02:46:07.000And then it just, Iran goes back to some kind of status quo.
02:46:11.000Because, like, I mean, one of the, I mean, a couple of the top reasons why they did what they did is very likely just looking at the current trends or the trends under the Trump administration, which is disrupting China's Belt and Road Initiative.
02:46:51.000So there is a question of American sustainability in this ongoing conflict for the purpose of slicing off our adversaries in the East's access to energy.
02:46:59.000So again, it's not something that you win, it's something that you do for a set period of time to strangle your enemies and then stop.
02:47:25.000Like, you know, you kill a terrorist and then his sister and brother and father all become terrorists because now they hate you because you killed their son or their brother.
02:47:33.000So, like, what kind of blowback are we creating by this?
02:47:36.000Obviously, you see the Russians and the Chinese now getting closer.
02:49:12.000And to address the chat, I literally said the U.S. is using heavy crude from Venezuela for domestic to offset the SPR being drained, but we can't refill the SPR with heavy crude.
02:49:25.000So the domestic production is being reprioritized towards refilling the SPR.
02:49:30.000Venezuelan heavy crude will be used for domestic production for things like gas or otherwise.
02:49:34.000This is why I said months ago the purpose of this was a Strait of Hormuz, because that's why Trump took Venezuela in the first place, to guarantee a backup plan for U.S. energy reserves.
02:49:44.000The problem is all of this oil has to go on the international market to maintain the petrodollar system.
02:49:49.000So the U.S. diverting domestic production for its SPR is kind of telling everybody that we want the petrodollar system, but are willing to, let's just say, massage the rules that benefits us.
02:50:02.000If we dominate, everybody won't matter what we do, whatever we want with the petrodollar system.
02:50:06.000But in the meantime, We are kind of undermining our own attempts.
02:50:11.000I'm not saying to say completely undermining, but basically it's a recoil effect.
02:50:16.000If we're going to get 80% advantage maintaining the petrodollar system, shutting off the Strait of Hormuz, we're taking 20% damage to the system itself by undermining it through what we're doing with Venezuela.
02:50:26.000But I suppose it won't matter when we're the one pointing the guns at everybody else.
02:50:41.000I was just wondering if I could just briefly respond to that last point, if that's okay, before I get on to the meat and potatoes.
02:50:49.000Yeah, I guess I'll direct this to Phil specifically.
02:50:52.000You mentioned at one point you're kind of ruminating over what Germany would do in light of Alex's question and what ultimately would be best for the country.
02:50:59.000But it got me wondering why would we assume that they want what's best for the country?
02:51:04.000Isn't like all of Europe and by extension the West in an obvious controlled collapse right now?
02:51:09.000I mean, if I recall, if the Nord Stream pipeline Situation.
02:51:14.000I mean, it's not categorized as such because it wasn't like a distinct perpetual, the kind of look of the Levant affair in the 50s with Israel.
02:51:21.000But I'm sure you guys don't have to relitigate.
02:51:25.000I'm sure you guys remember the situation with the Nord Stream.
02:51:28.000Germany's accused the Ukrainian national of bombing Nord Stream 2, for which they were buying gas from Russia.
02:51:35.000We've also heard conspiracy theories, and this is more coming from BRICS media sources, that it was CIA frogmen that bombed it, and that there was an attempt at blaming Russia for it.
02:51:44.000They literally, in the media, claimed Russia blew up their own pipeline, which was the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard.
02:51:58.000So the question is: were the Ukrainians, if Germany is correct and Ukrainians did it, were they put up to it by the West to create a casus belly for a war with Russia?
02:52:07.000Or did the Ukrainians do it of their own volition to force NATO to join the war on their behalf?
02:52:15.000Yeah, but I think at the end of the day, we give them, because Phil was kind of answering this in good faith, and it just seems like we're giving them, there's way too much grace here, because I think we're all in general agreement here that the powers that be.
02:52:29.000Just in general, just due to the nature of power, perhaps absolute power, but they don't really have our best interests in mind.
02:52:34.000So I can't expect them to be thinking on a means of like what's ultimately going to be of benefit for their progeny.
02:52:42.000It's more about like how do we get a global hegemony as soon as possible?
02:53:20.000Even just by the basic principle of power corrupts absolute power, it's kind of funny because we know that those who desire power the most, they deserve it the least and vice versa.
02:53:28.000So by that nature, we can expect anyone who achieves that echelon of power.
02:53:33.000They're going to naturally have bad motives intact.
02:53:37.000But I mean, my perspective on that is like, I don't see what the upside is, right?
02:53:48.000Like a war with Russia, I don't see what the win condition is for Germany.
02:53:57.000Like, it is a war that would likely be fought in Europe.
02:54:02.000The Ukraine war is ugly and it's been absolutely bad for Ukraine.
02:54:08.000And even if it were a situation where NATO was activated, you're still going to see significant damage to countries all across Europe.
02:54:20.000And to be honest with you, if you activate NATO, the possibility of a nuclear exchange is incredibly high.
02:54:29.000So I don't know what the win condition is.
02:54:32.000I don't know what the benefit for Germany would be were they to have a false flag.
02:54:40.000So, because even, yeah, because even if these people are Machiavellian, we still know that at the end of the day, they do want to preserve themselves.
02:54:45.000So, it's a precarious type of, you know, but the people that usually benefit from European wars are the bankers that fund the reconstruction, that fund the arms race, and then they fund the reconstruction.
02:54:55.000But if it's a nuclear war, there's not reconstruction in any kind of sense that we understand it now, you know, and a war with NATO and Russia, like a nuclear exchange is a real concern.
02:55:10.000And everyone knows that wars kind of, you know, spiral out of control.
02:55:14.000So, again, the win condition where it's motivated by money, I don't know where, I don't know how someone wins that if there's, like, you don't win if there's a nuclear exchange.
02:55:28.000And that's something that I don't know that it's worth risking.
02:55:32.000Yeah, but no, you make your money from, like, skirmishes that you know there's not going to be a nuke thrown around.
02:55:43.000Dresden, after it was firebombed, and 300,000 civilians were.
02:55:48.000Fucking evaporated into heat that needed reconstruction.
02:55:51.000Like nuclear exchange could mean like 19 cities are wiped off the map, and Russia and the United States are no longer superpowers.
02:55:59.000Now the Chinese model thrives, and the bankers make 10 times their trillions in debt that they recollect from the new American government, the new Russian government.
02:57:51.000What they use in Iran, where they fire the missile, the plane goes in range, shoots a missile straight up, it goes into orbit.
02:57:57.000Or low orbit, and then comes straight down so it can't be intercepted.
02:58:01.000I think there's no real point in using ICBMs like MIRVs, for instance, because you only need to remove the specific individual and then you can use other psychological and cybersecurity and means of taking control of the population.
02:58:33.000If you air burst a nuclear weapon over a city, it wipes it out, wipes out their defenses, wipes out their machines, and then you send in the troops within like an hour.
02:58:42.000That's a good start to an invasion, is a nuclear air burst.
02:58:46.000Yeah, like I said, I think that the risk is too high for, you know, because whether or not you guys think it could happen, it is something that's a possibility.
02:58:57.000And I don't think that anyone wants to.
02:59:00.000I don't think that a false flag to initiate a conflict between NATO and Russia is worth the risk.
02:59:06.000Yeah, I don't think it's a false flag either.
02:59:07.000I don't think Germany did to itself anyway.
03:00:21.000Before I go, I wanted to say just real quick, and I'll jump after this.
03:00:26.000Tim, when you had Destiny on, I was rather a little bit, to be honest, disappointed because I think, isn't it a fair standard we have that if someone, for example, it's one thing to mock people who are in the arena, that you would come on the show and you guys have that, you lock horns.
03:00:40.000But when you're mocking someone who's like, he literally died serving his family, this is someone who he didn't ask to get the mud fling and mug at him, he wasn't in the arena.
03:00:47.000We haven't had Destiny on the show in like.
03:01:01.000Destiny and I did the face off on Jubilee.
03:01:03.000So, what's the issue with me doing that show?
03:01:08.000Well, I'm not condemning you for it, but I think it was unwise for multiple reasons, but mainly because there's a certain sound of ethics I think we can agree upon.
03:01:18.000For example, if you actually are insulting someone directly, she consents to getting in the arena.
03:01:23.000Unlocking horns, as I mentioned, that's one thing.
03:01:25.000But this is someone, if you're going ahead and you're using a platform to literally bully someone who died saving his family, so someone didn't consent to jump in the mud pit with you, is that not a bridge too far?
03:01:37.000This is someone I think you are completely shaking.
03:01:42.000I will publicly debate Benjamin Netanyahu.
03:02:34.000I mean, obviously, we have limited time.
03:02:36.000I could go on, but I'll leave it there.
03:02:37.000But I do believe, not just you, for anyone, I believe it's unethical to associate with Destiny in any way until he apologizes directly.
03:02:44.000Just like how, for example, if you like, there's certain ethics, right?
03:02:47.000Like if you're a teacher and you go on your own and you go posting about how there's this faculty in the class that's so hilarious, I mean, that's grounds worthy for being fired.
03:02:54.000At a certain point, your conduct does matter.
03:04:11.000Like, he's doing his usual, you know, destiny, like, you know, Akuma Gremlin shit, as Andrew Wilson puts it.
03:04:16.000You know, in total, not an ounce of grace in his body.
03:04:19.000But again, it's not that it's not about having a personal grudge, it's that okay.
03:04:22.000It's previously when you argue with stuff like ethical, like he literally would argue for ethical child porn, things like that, things that will get like anyone immediately ready to act.
03:04:30.000But for him, he gets a pass for some reason.
03:04:38.000But again, when you bring that to the outside world with people that absolutely never consented to stoop into your mud pit, someone who literally died of being a hero for his family, nonetheless, that's your draw line.
03:04:50.000And I think that's a reasonable standard.
03:04:51.000I think people watching you have consented to being in the mud pit.
03:04:55.000I cannot continue doing this work being mad all the time at everybody.
03:05:04.000At a certain point, screaming isn't changing anything or doing anything.
03:05:08.000I've been thinking a lot about working with evil.
03:05:11.000The reason I'm neutral, why I am true neutral, is because I'm willing to work with evil people to get the job done because the outcome can be way better than our.
03:05:18.000I'm not going to work with evil people.
03:06:07.000People on the right, many people on the right are secretly getting.
03:06:11.000Look, we saw those Sarah Fields and those others that took that trip to Poland, paid for by Miriam Madelson's group, according to Alex Stein.
03:06:40.000This is why I'm kind of like, I'm just not going to be mad about it.
03:06:42.000The people who follow Destiny genuinely think we got paid by the Russians to lie about America and promote the war, which is just, it's not real.
03:06:57.000But then you've got these people who took this paid trip without disclosing it.
03:07:00.000You've got these people who are secretly on the tee to the government without disclosing it.
03:07:05.000A handful of prominent right wing individuals were hired by the Pentagon for the purpose of espousing pro Pentagon messages and pro war messages, and they're not disclosing it.
03:07:13.000It's just raw corruption across the board.
03:07:16.000I don't think, you know, when I see these people working with the government without disclosure, I don't care if you work for the government, I don't care if you get paid to go on a trip.
03:07:23.000You got to be honest about what you're doing.
03:07:26.000But when I see all of this, I'm just like, yeah, it's no different from the woman whose husband died, and she's like, I'm a widow, and she posts a video being like, please click me.
03:07:34.000Everyone's going to claim that they're doing the right thing, but when the money comes down, we'll take it.
03:07:37.000And I've made this point a long time ago.
03:07:39.000I guarantee you, I can go to a leftist and say, I'll give you $50,000 right now to make a video claiming you've reconsidered your position on Trump.
03:07:48.000Some dude with like 10,000 followers who's doing a Jubilee run, I'll be like, I'll tell you what, I will write a check for $50,000 right now.
03:08:20.000And it's like, man, when you're facing the maybe he was nihilistic and was just that why he was ready to just let himself be destroyed by people because he wouldn't play their game.
03:08:28.000But maybe if you get enough people that stand up and do that or are willing to do that, the system really changes for the good.
03:08:34.000You can't be tempted by money and neither can the rest of your community.
03:08:39.000So, you know, this is the reality, right?
03:09:42.000There are evil people doing evil things to Erica Kirk.
03:09:44.000There are evil people who are gloating about Charlie.
03:09:47.000But I'm saying all people, with very few exceptions, are coyotes, is probably the better way to put it.
03:09:53.000Meaning they howl at night, they look for food, and they're predictable.
03:09:57.000When you see these people on the right taking secret trips and then trying to justify why the trip was good, well, look, you got a medium X account, like mid tier with a couple hundred thousand followers.
03:10:09.000You get offered an all expense paid trip to Poland.
03:10:11.000It sounds fucking exciting and amazing.
03:10:13.000You don't want to tell people what you were doing, you'll get attacked for it.
03:10:16.000You get found out, you better attack everybody else.
03:10:19.000Data Republican is going the fuck off because she took a job or a special government employee position with the Department of War without disclosing it.
03:10:47.000Titled, They Were Lying the Whole Time, which I think is more so a reference to the Pentagon having employed people, but not her specifically.
03:10:54.000And I think the only thing I said was I read a report saying she did not disclose this job, which she did not disclose.
03:11:00.000So here's the story: Data Republican took her role at the government, did not disclose it, and is mad that I read that report and told people.
03:11:08.000The amount of corruption that we are swimming in is fucking untenable.
03:11:38.000And this is the reality for most of these people.
03:11:41.000And this is why the Democrats exist the way they do.
03:11:43.000And it's why the Republicans largely did exist the way they did for so long.
03:11:46.000Most people do not actually give a shit.
03:11:50.000If you go to the majority of people on the right and say, I'll write you a check for $100,000 to say Trump bad, they will suck your dick on the spot.
03:12:54.000Because I watch a lot of these shows, and it tends to be like a bell curve of similar ideas and very little direct argument between the personalities.
03:13:30.000But the point I'm making is when you have the left saying like it's a MAGA show and they won't watch it, and then you're literally like, I don't think these people have ever actually seen the show.
03:13:41.000Like, Ian is the easiest standout who is not a conservative, but Media Matters calls him, calls you conservative.
03:13:48.000Didn't they do like a report recently, like saying he, like highlighting some extremist position that you had?
03:13:54.000Anyway, just to wrap it up, I'm saying all these things not in anger, but sort of in acceptance.
03:14:01.000When I saw these person, as people we know and follow, took a trip without disclosing it and then personally attacked me for reporting on it, mad that we would dare call them out.
03:14:24.000Don't let the enemy taunt you because if it taunts you, then you're not focused on the real danger that's trying to get me, who's the healer.
03:14:30.000So you got to don't let the enemy taunt you.
03:14:47.000The smaller percent are organizers, are leaders who have a vision and want to make change.
03:14:52.000Within a portion of that leadership, there are evil people that are willing to manipulate and extort and exploit to make the changes they want.
03:14:59.000And then there are what I would describe as the good people that are trying to convince, you know, apply your will in the direction through logic and reason.
03:15:12.000So I think that means that in the pie chart of politics, There is only the tiniest sliver of people who are genuinely like, can we do better?
03:15:21.000And can I convince you through being correct?
03:15:55.000Yeah, you said you got a point, that was all we got.
03:15:57.000Yeah, oh, yeah, I don't know what happened, but anyway, I'll just I'll dip with this.
03:16:01.000You make excellent points, Timmy, as you can see.
03:16:03.000And what's funny is that even me, myself, as a viewer, I was challenging you just today.
03:16:07.000So obviously, this isn't one echo chamber, you're entirely correct.
03:16:10.000But also, remember, there's there is such a thing as righteous anger, and I assure you, Charlie, you kind of hesitate to admit this, but he absolutely was your friend.
03:16:17.000And if you were the one who took that shot that day, I promise you, I have full confidence that Charlie Cook would go to war for you, and frankly, you deserve it.
03:19:12.000I did like a Taylor Swift commentary, like a half a million.
03:19:14.000And then we officially launched the Tim Pool show, get the chairs behind us.
03:19:16.000I mean, it's still, even still, okay, I understand that you guys are collaborating between all the channels and stuff like that, but even that channel hitting 100,000 followers is still significant.
03:19:26.000Oh, yeah, it's about to crack 100, probably, you know, tomorrow, whatever.
03:19:29.000But the funny thing is, what's really exciting is the people who hate me.
03:19:34.000I've seen people tweeting, like, I can't fucking stand Tim Pool's videos.
03:19:37.000I did watch his new show, though, it's actually really good.
