On this week's episode of the show, we discuss the latest on the latest in the Iran situation, including the news that the new Supreme Leader, Moish Taba, may be dead, and the possible presence of U.S. troops on the ground in the Middle East.
00:02:58.000Some have argued that this deployment may just be a standard rotation, but the media is reporting that we're getting 5,000 additional troops to support the war effort in Iran.
00:03:07.000And all of a sudden, we're seeing on prediction markets that the likelihood U.S. troops enter Iran is ever increasing.
00:03:13.000Right now, the speculation is that the new Supreme Leader, that's Moish Taba, I think you pronounced his name, is dead.
00:03:21.000Now, the official reporting is that he's comatose and maimed and lost his leg, and he may not have been alive the whole time.
00:03:27.000Or I'm sorry, he may not have been conscious the whole time, since they've named him Supreme Leader, so he may not even know.
00:03:33.000But there are apparently rumors going around that he's actually dead.
00:03:36.000So we have a lot to break down in what is about to happen in this war.
00:03:39.000And I must stress, if there really are going to be troops on the ground in the Middle East, I think they waited till Friday the 13th for a reason.
00:03:46.000Not for any superstitious reason, just that Friday is where news goes to die.
00:07:21.000Six killed in U.S. refueling plane crash.
00:07:24.000Iran's new supreme leader likely disfigured, Hag Seth says.
00:07:27.000And I think the big, big story here is approximately 5,000 additional Marines and sailors are deploying to the Middle East to support the war in Iran, according to three U.S. officials.
00:07:46.000We don't know the true number yet as well of how many.
00:07:48.000We do know that there's reports of blood donations being asked in Stuttgart, Germany.
00:07:54.000And obviously, we don't know the full scale of this conflict, but obviously we are killing a lot more Iranians, but Americans are still being hurt in maybe probably larger numbers than we're being told.
00:08:03.000There's no question about that, but I think it's just kind of funny that they're reporting all these deaths and they're all saying, well, it's all our fault instead of make it kind of this heroic thing that, oh, they died in the line of duty.
00:08:12.000Well, I think they don't want to make that because they don't want to say Iran killed our guys.
00:08:35.000The terrain there is extremely mountainous, and the Iranians have been preparing for this ever since the Iraq invasion in 2003.
00:08:42.000So it's going to be an extremely difficult task.
00:08:47.000Some people are saying that they're going to be sent to some of the hardened positions that can't be bombed by some of those big, massive 30,000 pound bombs that we have already dropped on them.
00:08:56.000And therefore, we need troops on the ground there to be inserted in order to take out those facilities.
00:09:00.000So either way, it's going to be extremely difficult, extremely tough.
00:09:03.000I know there was talks about sending in the Kurds.
00:09:05.000The Kurds kind of volunteered a little bit, and then they said no.
00:09:08.000There was talks about arming ISIS also in the region to go after Iran.
00:09:16.000And the plan, even as Lindsey Graham talked about, was giving a lot of the ethnic minorities in Iran weapons in order to start this Iranian civil war.
00:09:25.000We have been bombing their infrastructure.
00:09:27.000We bombed their water desalination plants.
00:09:39.000Because there's a lot of talk that the fear-mongering that they're going to start activating sleeper cells in America when literally, as you just said, that is our plan to activate sleeper cells in Iran.
00:09:49.000My big fear, besides all the obvious fears that everyone has concerning this situation, is that the U.S. does something that it's done many times in the past, something Trump has done to his own base, that he encouraged them to rise up.
00:10:06.000And then all those people who had faith in him end up slaughtered.
00:10:10.000And I think that is a very likely scenario, and that is something that is very concerning.
00:10:15.000That's exactly what happens in history.
00:10:16.000That's exactly what happens with American intervention and propping up these groups that later give a significant blowback and bomb us and attack us with the same type of organization.
00:10:26.000What do you think the reason for the Iranian war is, Mr. Malas?
00:10:30.000I think what Luke said before we started recording was exactly right and hadn't heard it before.
00:10:58.000I'm going to put my meat on the table and see how far I can use America's clout to kind of change the world in my own image.
00:11:05.000And Luke's point earlier, which I hadn't thought of before, but which is clear to me, is Trump thinks, okay, if we lock down the Middle East in a scenario where it's roughly stable and amenable to our allies and our interests, we can move forward to Asia.
00:15:14.000Saudi Arabia is also a major superpower, but it's about having Israel being independent in the region.
00:15:20.000It's about Israel being strong in the region.
00:15:22.000I do worry that oil prices are going to go up after this, right?
00:15:25.000Because all of the energy that Iran was producing on the world markets, it's gone, and the infrastructure for that's gone too.
00:15:30.000So the price of it is going to have to go up.
00:15:32.000Did you hear Trump freaked out when he heard Israel bombed the oil fields in Iran?
00:15:36.000Yeah, allegedly, that's what was said with American officials saying WTF to Israeli officials because Another big behind-the-scenes conflict that I've seen reporting on, we don't know how much of this is true, how much speculation is that the people Trump wants to install for the new Iran and the people Bibi wants to see in power are not the same people, which is very plausible.
00:15:55.000And there's a mixed message and there's mixed bombings.
00:15:57.000What I also worry about is not just energy prices, because that's Trump's key plan.
00:16:51.000So I think that is more reliable for me to understand, hey, it's still going on.
00:16:56.000At the same time, if they don't have someone in charge, they're not in a position to call for a ceasefire.
00:17:01.000Who's going to be on calling for the ceasefire?
00:17:05.000Iran has been practicing, because the American doctrine is to cut off the head of the snake.
00:17:09.000So the Iranians, after 2003, saw what happened to Saddam and they set up these type of governance systems that can run independently in different pockets and different bodies.
00:17:20.000So there are different forms of leadership that are active in different regions.
00:17:24.000But my point is they all have their own interests.
00:17:25.000They all have their own power centers.
00:17:26.000It's not going to be as easy as if there's the one guy.
00:18:13.000No, the president is in great spirits.
00:18:18.000The Iranian mission is proceeding well ahead of schedule.
00:18:23.000And I have to tell you, well, that I have a teenager who is considering military service, and I could give this team my highest compliment from President Trump to the head of the Joint Chiefs to the Secretary of War.
00:20:08.000I got to say, man, it is mind-blowing to me how many Trump supporters are just in lockstep with this, despite the massive moderate outrage, I suppose.
00:20:20.000Independents, disaffected liberals, libertarians are very, very unhappy right now.
00:20:26.000Even prominent conservatives, many are questioning the Iran war.
00:20:30.000But there are still, like Alex Jones pointed out, people like Katner that are sitting there like, no, everything's fine.
00:20:38.000Because they feel that for the first time in their lives, and usually a little bit older, that there's someone in Washington who hears them, who speaks for them, who makes them feel seen.
00:20:47.000And at a certain point, it's like, you know what?
00:21:00.000I mean, you can't have 92% on Fox News being reported as people who support.
00:21:08.000I think those of us who are terminating online, I think the internet and real life are getting further and further apart.
00:21:14.000And I think a lot of people who aren't on social media or who aren't paying attention, because it has an affect their lives other than gas prices, it's easy for them to be like, oh, yeah, we're going again.
00:21:23.000I mean, even Anne Coulter, that I described as the neocon queen during the Bush era, she came out and today said that this is a total disaster.
00:21:29.000Ann Coulter had said years ago that we should invade all their countries, convert their leaders to Christianity.
00:23:28.000The reason I asked this is I was thinking about it, and I'm like, I wonder if Lincoln was president when the union was intact, if he would have tried to negotiate to prevent it from happening.
00:23:37.000And only because he entered office after secession did he say, I have no choice.
00:23:42.000The reason being, I look at what Donald Trump is doing, and he's been heavily criticized recently.
00:23:48.000I've called him Buchanan because of the riots and his inability to send out law enforcement or invoke the Insurrection Act.
00:23:55.000Now that the pitch is, we're going to wind back the mass deportation thing.
00:24:38.000And it's not that he's a stronger, it's that he has no choice.
00:24:42.000I guess my question was, I don't think most people would assume that Buchanan, were he to have gotten after a Civil War already started, would have been a strong president.
00:24:49.000But looking at Trump, I view him typically as kind of a boorish, strong man.
00:25:36.000So if you lose the filibuster, every individual Democratic senator is infinitely less important because they're not in a position to hold up legislation.
00:25:44.000So yes, last time they lost by two votes, but Kristen Sinma said, and I believe her, that a lot of these senators are hiding behind her skirts because privately they don't want to lose the filibuster either because they want to be have power.
00:28:06.000I'm not disputing that dysfunctional corrupt at all.
00:28:08.000My point is you have to look at Thomas Sowell says there's no solutions, only trade-offs, right?
00:28:13.000So if you get the SAVE Act at the cost of all this other stuff, court packing, I don't know that's necessarily a win.
00:28:21.000I think the crux of our disagreement is people assume it's a given that when the Democrats take over the Senate, they're going to nuke the filibuster.
00:28:56.000Well, I would phrase it as actions speak louder than words, and I would agree with you on that.
00:29:00.000But I would also say one of the stories that we have tonight is the conviction of several anti-fu terrorists for terror attacks on ICE facilities.
00:29:51.000My point is not that when I say flashbang, not that everyone's going to wake up instantly and say, oh my God, it's that it's a jolt a little too much the system can't necessarily handle.
00:30:05.000So when you have a populist base of the plurality of voters who supported Trump, the politicos, not the average person, seeing that even when Democrats and Republicans agree the machine state will not allow you to get election integrity through, the emperor has no clothes, and it's going to be a kick in the balls to a lot of people.
00:30:25.000I think it will accelerate things is just basically my point.
00:30:33.000If it is to remain this way, the only advice I would have to people is ammunition and emergency food.
00:30:38.000I agree with everything you said, and that's why there's something called the Anarchist Handbook, which you can pick up at anarchishandbook.com, because at a certain point...
00:34:02.000There is something, I don't want to, I have to use my words very carefully.
00:34:06.000If you have a betting pool, and I bet when Tim departs this earth, right, a bunch of people can send in crypto anonymously, and they say, okay, you pick a date.
00:34:19.000And if I know that if Tim departs this earth on July 12th, I'm going to get that huge jackpot, right?
00:34:28.000You don't know who chips in because crypto anonymity, and you don't know who gets the payout because of crypto anonymity.
00:35:01.000I'm not a big football guy or basketball.
00:35:03.000I'm not sure what this was, but there's a video where I was explaining that some prominent athlete was doing an interview after a game where he apologized for the bad spread or something because the people only cared about the wagers on the game.
00:35:14.000But back to the point you were making, there was a on Kalshi, they had a prediction market, Ayatollah out of power by a certain date.
00:35:22.000Everyone assumed that to mean that he would be dead.
00:35:26.000Because the Ayatollah is not leaving voluntarily.
00:35:54.000Therefore, anyone who had that contract at that time, when the strike happened, not after the fact, wanted to get paid out for him being pulled out of office.
00:36:01.000But Kalshi said, our contract says no debt.
00:36:06.000That would mean that everybody who said no should have got paid out the moment he was killed because now he can never resign or be removed from office.
00:36:13.000What you're bringing up, and the reason why Kalshi does not, one of the principal reasons, allow contracts on death is for exactly what you described.
00:37:40.000We probably already do in the ground once it's confirmed that this guy, he made a series of bets on U.S. military action, and he nailed it all.
00:38:03.000There's been so much insider trading that insane and disgusting because it screws over the average person.
00:38:10.000The average person who's trying to survive here or play these markets doesn't have a chance because of all this insider traders, man.
00:38:17.000And they're the ones that they're taking the money from.
00:38:19.000But the best thing long and everything.
00:38:21.000The best return on investment is going to unwantedbook.com, supporting my graphic novel, and getting into $15,000 a day, just to give everyone a stick.
00:39:38.000He bought Mark Kelly to to win the nomination at 2.7 cents.
00:39:44.000News is going to come out when Mark Kelly announces he's running, it's going to spike to fifth to 14, 15 cents and you sell it and boom, he's got 34 000 shares.
00:40:00.000But if you look at most of the trades he's made that have concluded successfully, Khomeini out as supreme leader by February 28th, jackpot, $55,000 profit.
00:40:09.000That is count that if he's dead, he counts as on polymark, yes.
00:42:11.000So I'll say this, Michael, to the point about insider trading and all this stuff.
00:42:15.000Functionally, it's not insider trading.
00:42:17.000There is a really interesting phenomenon that I challenge for these markets because there's currently a bet on Cauchy about whether or not I go to a press briefing.
00:43:42.000When news broke that Donald Trump had a detransitioner at the State of the Union, I bought a contract that Trump would say the word transgender.
00:43:51.000The moment he said the person's name, I sold it a profit and then he never said the word.
00:43:56.000So all in all, I think I'm up like 500 bucks doing his prediction market things, which I don't recognize anybody do this.
00:44:01.000This is small amounts of money I'm doing kind of for fun just to try it out.
00:44:05.000My point is, everyone's saying it's an insider, but I'm going to be honest.
00:44:08.000I bet with your knowledge of news and foreign affairs, if you were looking through contracts to buy in polymarket, you'd probably clear 100%.
00:47:20.000The workers at the jail, it is now a fact.
00:47:24.000They stuffed a body bag full of boxes and pillows, and the photos we have of the body being brought out is confirmed by mainstream reporting to have been a fake body for the purpose of dissuading the press from following the actual convoy.
00:47:44.000The FBI investigated the other security guard, or I should say this, wipe that.
00:47:49.000The FBI investigated a series of 4chan posts where someone before Epstein was known to have been dead said people came in, I believe they swapped him out.
00:47:59.000When the FBI investigated this and it was released in the Epstein files, we don't have any smoking gun that literally says the Epstein files has concluded this poster is the guard.
00:48:08.000But in the evidence stack, the guard's bank accounts and personal information is connected to the case, indicating to many people that the FBI traced the evidence to figure it out, and the IP addresses led them to this guy.
00:48:21.000Yeah, U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Berman of the SDNUI opened up a grand jury proceeding that subpoenaed 4chan, Apple, and AT ⁇ T and Citibank for records, aiming to uncover the identity of this anonymous 4chan post that talked about Epstein's bodies being swiped.
00:49:05.000Blank, so and unknown was with Epstein's body and secured the scene.
00:49:09.000Redacted remained with CEOs and redacted and redacted until person off the office chief medical examiner arrived at transport Epstein in the facility due to the large news media presence.
00:49:17.000A male OCME official called and said he'd be arriving at the loading dock with a black vehicle in order to thwart the media.
00:49:22.000Redacted, redacted, and redacted, used boxes and sheets to create what appeared to be a human body, which was put into the white OCME vehicle, which the press followed, allowing the black vehicle to depart unnoticed with Epstein's body.
00:50:43.000A lot of people are speculating that Hillary Clinton's brother, that kind of looks like that person who passed away before that, could have been the swap out here.
00:51:03.000There was the first alleged suicide attempt that happened that also the video footage was deleted.
00:51:09.000And this is where Epstein came out and said that his cellmate tried to kill him, but the media reported as Epstein tried to kill himself.
00:51:16.000So when the DOJ released the surveillance footage and there was like a minute and a half missing, and then they lied about why, and then you can see the time jump.
00:51:38.000But Bongino said, we're going to see the video.
00:51:40.000We're going to be convinced that Epstein killed himself through that particular video.
00:51:43.000That was in the case of one counterpoint.
00:51:45.000I'm going to say one counterpoint, which is if they're going to bribe this guard, which I would not doubt at all, I don't think they'd be the sloppy about it.
00:51:52.000They never even were charged with falsifying the records.
00:53:04.000My speculative theory, maybe it's not high probability, is that these men have children.
00:53:09.000These children inherit the liberal economic order and they generally understand what their parents taught them.
00:53:14.000The grandchildren are now the people running liberal economic order, and they're the third generation detached from what actually needed to be done to make this machine work.
00:53:22.000And so this is where the third generation of wealth is falling apart.
00:53:25.000But this is the fourth generation, no?
00:53:27.000But the fourth generation is when you lost the wealth.
00:53:29.000But this is the fourth, because you had World War I would be the 40s.
00:54:01.000So they do some of these things, but they do it rather poorly.
00:54:04.000You end up with cockamamie BS failures in all of these.
00:54:08.000Well, it's not only they do it poorly.
00:54:09.000It's that they're not up to the new technology and the technology is much faster than they can keep up.
00:54:14.000Indeed, I think one of the things that could have had President Trump in 2016 without Twitter.
00:54:18.000And I think what caught the machine set off guard was social media and how quickly grassroots movements would pop up that you could not just shut down.
00:54:49.000It was a standard convention of suits and ties coming together to discuss how these big networks now enter the space we exist in.
00:54:59.000I believe the censorship machine has not stopped.
00:55:02.000And I believe what we are going to see moving forward is, considering I've had conversation with big companies, the narrative machine is going to bounce back.
00:55:27.000What we are going to see in the next three years is that the only shows that will survive are the ones that are part of network television.
00:55:42.000I think everyone watching this, besides getting unwantedbook.com, needs to read Brave New World because the corporate structures haven't unleashed hedonism yet.
00:55:50.000They haven't unleashed influencers who are telling everyone, look, hold on.
00:56:42.000But look, look, the idea from Brave New World about drugs is because it was written at a time based on the assumptions and predictions of the technology they had.
00:56:53.000There's this really great comic from the early 1900s where it said life in the 2000s.
00:56:56.000And firefighters had, they were peddling, they were flying in the air with wings, and they were peddling to flat their wings as they fought fires.
00:57:02.000Because in their minds, the future was technology they had amplified.
00:58:37.000So indeed, what's going to happen with this show and with every other show is, even right now, people have noticed it's increasingly difficult to find this stream.
00:59:01.000Sometimes YouTube will censor us, sometimes they won't.
00:59:03.000So anybody who's listening right now from YouTube who actually likes our show, because this actually works, by the way, go onto our channel and look for any lockdowns and please remove them.
00:59:12.000Because I believe it was 2021, you could not Google search anything from me.
00:59:17.000Any Tim Pool video, if you search for it, would come up on Facebook only.
00:59:21.000Went live on this show, said it, and in real time, the ban was lifted, and you could all of a sudden find me on Google again.
00:59:27.000You used to look me up as a conspiracy theorist and nothing else, even though I had all this work here.
00:59:32.000So I'm feeling YouTube and all of these networks know it.
00:59:38.000I'm going to let you guys in on a big secret, okay?
00:59:42.000I have already been in meetings with media executives who have outright said corporate networks are going to start taking over the podcasts and locking everybody.
00:59:54.000I was part of the first blog movement.
00:59:58.000And then all of a sudden, all the blogs became corporate monetized.
01:00:00.000For that YouTube person, if you're in there, check out We Are Change on YouTube because also we're dealing with a lot of very serious, horrible things.
01:00:19.000I'm not going to name anybody because this is not for drama points, but there are several people who have skyrocketed in viewership lately based on certain narratives.
01:00:27.000This is because YouTube has decided that is what they want.
01:00:29.000And I'm telling you this: YouTube has decided.
01:02:51.000These companies are going to decide, probably based on what intelligence agencies want, what the acceptable narrative is.
01:02:57.000And I assure you, it's going to be pro-Israel and pro-Middle Eastern war.
01:03:01.000Just like we saw in the 2000s with Bush, though some dissent will always be allowed.
01:03:06.000Paramounts, be it HBO or NBC, they are going to start going to shows like ours, and they're going to say, you shouldn't be worrying about all this stuff.
01:03:30.000And when you go on YouTube, there will be shows.
01:03:32.000Those podcasts will exist, but the shows that you know and love from the guy in his basement, like for instance, Nick Fuentes is not in the fold.
01:03:40.000He's on Rumble because Rumble is allowing anybody to make content.
01:03:43.000But there's a reason why he and Alex Jones are banned from YouTube.
01:03:46.000That was a move they made a long time ago.
01:03:48.000That move is going to exacerbate, but it's going to be done mathematically and logically so that you don't get big news about a person being banned.
01:03:56.000But this is just one thing really quick.
01:03:58.000Peak headset today said he can't wait until David Ellison takes over CNN.
01:05:14.000So the argument they make is Israel's intentionally allowing anti-Israel content.
01:05:19.000And I'm like, so they want people to hate them, so they control the media, and they're putting up the people who hate them to destroy them because they think they're going to win.
01:05:30.000So the good thing about the Jewish faith is at a glance, you can tell how religious somebody is.
01:08:03.000I don't think there's any Democratic senators who are just like, you know, I was going to be for this issue, but Anna Kasparian's on the other side, so maybe I should think twice.
01:08:10.000The amount of power or relevance she has may be small, but she certainly does have cultural influence.
01:08:41.000Anna Kasparian will have, again, I'm not going to pretend like she's Joe Rogan, but she certainly does have an amount of cultural relevance.
01:09:47.000It's now turned into Erica Kirk versus leave Erica Kirk alone.
01:09:51.000Like these are weird issues that are dominating the viewership in podcasts and social media videos.
01:09:58.000I will say one thing that I think is weird is that the Israel posters have become Kirk posters.
01:10:02.000The people who are making endless videos about Israel and the Third Temple and all the stuff and the Jews running things, they're now producing more and more Erica Kirk videos.
01:10:56.000Yeah, it becomes filtered through that.
01:10:58.000I'm just saying it is strange, just on the surface, that people who were talking about geopolitical affairs have shifted to talking about leather pants.
01:11:07.000I'm not saying it shouldn't have happened or it's not probable or that I didn't expect it.
01:11:10.000I'm saying it's just like, what a silly thing for a person to do.
01:11:13.000Oh, I agree with you, but also this means that we have not had a normal election in this country since 2012.
01:12:50.000And then as soon as Democrats get back in power and they subpoena these big tech companies, the big tech companies are going to saw that plank off.
01:13:16.000That's why I get frustrated with people that are saying things like, oh, you know, Trump's failed us and we shouldn't vote.
01:13:21.000And I know you're not a voting guy, but people that are like, oh, I'm not going to vote in the upcoming elections because Trump failed this.
01:13:28.000The idea that this was going to be solved in the first year of his second term, which was interrupted by Joe Biden, like that was never going to be a thing.
01:13:38.000But I have to push back a little bit because there was alternative independent media during his first term that were saying, we have to do something for free speech.
01:14:21.000It does because it should be a learning lesson and a stepping stone to proper action to codify free speech, which we should be doing online more than ever.
01:14:29.000This is the number one important issue that we should be moving on.
01:14:32.000None of that can be done if the Democrats take the House and are putting bills to impeach Trump the entire time.
01:15:59.000They're going to have to recruit and start all over again.
01:16:02.000When you say hold them accountable, what do you mean?
01:16:04.000Take the people who censored and destroyed our lives and abused the system politically at the FBI, at the CIA, that went to Facebook, that went to Twitter and destroyed our lives and destroyed our friends' lives.
01:16:17.000And you say, you give us an explanation why do you do this and we're going to fire you and we're going to make sure this never happens again.
01:16:36.000Because I think a lot of these people are egomaniacs.
01:16:38.000And I think one of the reasons Mitt Romney decided not to run or go into the Senate is because people kept harassing him on Twitter and calling him an a-hole.
01:16:44.000At a certain point, some of these people who sniff their own farts, it does care if they're disgraced in the public eye.
01:17:09.000Make a big spectacle out of this, like the church commission hearings that brought out and exposed how the intel agencies were controlling all the big media companies.
01:17:19.000Okay, I hear what you're saying, but I feel like the powers that be will just say, okay, cut off that appendage and bring in a new one.
01:17:25.000Yeah, well, I mean, wouldn't you say that the stuff that was done for USAID was an actual attempt to do those kind of things?
01:17:31.000That's what Doge was an attempt to do.
01:17:32.000It was successful, and then it was cut off at the feet by Susie Willis, which wasn't good, which was horrible.
01:17:39.000The point that I'm making is like, if there's a big change because of USAID and the Doge cuts couldn't make the kind of cuts, why would they be successful by bringing these people in front of Congress?
01:17:50.000I'll tell you why, because there's this expression in politics.
01:17:52.000You don't want to see how the sausage gets made, right?
01:17:54.000So Governor Bogoevich of Illinois was, there was an empty Senate seat when Obama became president, and he's like, okay, what can I get for this seat?
01:18:01.000And this is something every governor goes through.
01:18:03.000They're like, I've got a political opportunity.
01:18:05.000How can I exploit this further my agenda?
01:18:07.000He went to jail for this because he was in politics.
01:18:09.000Point being, bluepill people, when they see how this stuff happens behind the scenes, a lot of them, especially Karen, freak out, and that makes it harder to put over the next time.
01:18:18.000All of the Biden officials that use their political power to prosecute right-wingers should be held accountable for their actions.
01:18:25.000And you could do that on a lawful level.
01:18:27.000You could do that in a humiliation level.
01:18:29.000You could do that in a level where you just fire them and expose them.
01:18:33.000And they will not have any type of reputation left after they destroyed all of our lives.
01:18:38.000And if they lose their ability to make a lot of money by making speeches, you can flip them to turn the guy ahead of them because they'll be like rats off a sinking ship.
01:18:45.000I'm not convinced at this point that Trump is interested in those things.
01:20:19.000Luke, the point that I'm making is that people shouldn't take the black pill because that's what people are doing when they're saying, oh, well, screw it.
01:20:36.000I'm saying that the idea that you're going to get better results by allowing Democrats to take the House in the fall is going to be went for Kathy Newman.
01:20:53.000Are you aware of any files that were on Anthony Weiner's laptop in a folder that was titled Insurance, Life Insurance with a zip file titled Frazzled?
01:21:38.000It's a debunked far-right conspiracy that emerged in 2018, falsely alleging the existence of a video found in Anthony Weiner's laptop showing Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedeen committing a horrific crime against a child.
01:21:48.000The theory is an extension of the Pizzagate conspiracy and has been completely discredited.
01:23:58.000So whether you do or don't, there are people threatening to murder me because they think I'm either funded by Israel, by the deep state, or by Russia.
01:24:06.000I was on Rogan's show, and Rogan said, okay, it's really clear that Epstein had ties with international intelligence, with Mosada CIA.
01:24:16.000And I go, I saw in Drudge, it was Russia.
01:24:18.000I go, I've never heard this before, but Drudge, which is obviously a major news organization page, had headlines, Russian involvement with Epstein files.
01:24:39.000He was talking about the future of Syria, and he was talking and trying to prop up with Bill Gates' friend, the opposition in Russia as well.
01:24:46.000Oh, look, you tried to change the subject from Israel.
01:24:56.000But at the same time, while that discussion is happening, we're missing the bigger piece of like Robert Maxwell, who literally stole American secrets, sold it to Israel, and no one really talks about that issue at all.
01:25:09.000And that's another big issue that deserves our attention.
01:25:44.000And we had a long, extensive conversation as he talked about this supra government that controls the shots internationally with the World Bank and the IMF that go to these leaders and they say, do you want the bullet?
01:26:41.000And he lobbied us to support the war for Iran, and the room was split and didn't want to do it.
01:26:45.000Some people in the room were very much like, dude is wild.
01:26:48.000Like one person looking at him and going, like, the American people and Gen Z need to understand the brotherly relationship Israel and America have and why we must support each other.
01:26:58.000And I'm just in there going, like, oh my god.
01:27:00.000Like, like, look, if you said something.
01:27:03.000You forget, we're so used to memes and trolls.
01:27:26.000And the people thought it meant that it was off the record in secret when it literally meant we can explain literally everything said, just not who said it.
01:27:50.000I mean, he's in the middle of the day.
01:27:50.000But if you were to say something like, if you were to say something like, look, America has its own interests, but Israel's alliance with us is important because we need a stable foothold in the region.
01:28:02.000For that reason, there is going to be an overlap in our agendas, which I think is mostly true.
01:28:07.000I think an average person might be like, well, that's reasonable.
01:28:09.000But if you say we have a brotherly love relationship, so we have to defend you for this ideological reason, you sound nuts.
01:28:14.000But I think when you talk to religious people, I think that's a very, they really have a very different worldview than I think the important thing for everyone to understand is there's several factors as to why the U.S. and Israel have this relationship.
01:28:29.000One of which absolutely is Israel exerting influence through resources, money to try and get politicians on their side.
01:28:34.000But evangelicals in this country want the same thing the Messianic Jews want with the Fourth Temple.
01:28:40.000I think evangelicals are more Zionists than Jews as a population.
01:29:46.000All those Muslim countries sided much more with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union's gone, obviously, but that kind of shepherds played a major role with the Belfast.
01:30:05.000Real quick, the other question is, why are we giving billions to Egypt for military aid?
01:30:09.000And I think one important factor beyond the evangelical, and there are others, is that the United States, the liberal economic order, wants strong military control of the Suez and the Red Sea for which Israel provides.
01:30:25.000And that's why Israel is so important to the U.S. military grand scheme because controlling global trade and policing the seas is how we maintain the petrodollar.
01:31:30.000I mean, I question that theory because of the kind of donor class here, because if we're really fighting for American hegemony, that's different comparatively to people just robbing the sinking ship.
01:31:39.000I think robbing the sinking ship is more of a true analogy of what's going on here.
01:32:16.000But I think this is principally the U.S. economy is propped up by the petrodollar by forcing other countries to use our currency.
01:32:23.000Saudi Arabia cuts a deal with us, which gives them tremendous leverage.
01:32:26.000That's why when a lot of dirty, nasty things happen from the Saudis, particularly like their couple billion 9-11, we cover for them because we are scared they will get off the contract of the petrodollar as the second largest oil producer in the world.
01:32:38.000We need them to tell other countries if you want oil, it's in U.S. dollars.
01:32:41.000Yeah, but the U.S. is also like the most legitimate security guarantee.
01:32:45.000Like the Chinese had made a lot of security guarantees to Venezuela.
01:32:49.000They made a lot of security guarantees to Iran.
01:32:51.000And the whole world has seen that you can't rely on China.
01:32:54.000No matter what China says, if they say, oh, you know, we'll help you out and stuff.
01:33:23.000I want to add this to what Alice was saying.
01:33:27.000On August 9th, 2019, the day before Epstein died, the Southern District of New York, the SDNY, the federal government, released a statement about Epstein's death the day before.
01:34:24.000The fact of the matter is that China wanted to be a basically give security guarantees.
01:34:32.000And the war in Iran and the invasion of Iraq, or invasion of Iraq and what's going on in Venezuela has proven that China can't be trusted.
01:34:41.000And that's one of the actual benefits, one of the things that the U.S. is really getting out of this whole thing is they're proving that China is a paper tiger and that the rest of the world can't rely on.
01:34:49.000They're going to be like, look, you can go and build some things in Africa.
01:34:53.000And honestly, the things that they're building, they're not particularly robust.
01:34:57.000Like the things they build are pretty crappy.
01:34:59.000like the rest of the world is looking at china and they're saying do we want to go and align with china or do we want to align with the u.s that's part of the reason why the u.s is is the police of the the the trade routes and stuff is because the u.s is a reliable actor china's not They don't have the power to do it.
01:35:18.000So you can hire, people don't know this.
01:35:20.000If you're like a company or if you're like a country, you can hire the U.S. to basically be like, if things go wrong, we'll come in and kick ass for you.
01:35:29.000And I mean, look, there are people that don't like that, and I get it, but the U.S. standard of living is directly attached to that.
01:35:36.000Like the fact that poor people in the U.S. are overweight, people that decide that they want to be homeless, they don't want to actually do the things necessary to have a home, they still have cell phones.
01:35:45.000They have like, they have DoorDash accounts and stuff.
01:38:09.000I read Reagan's autobiography and the two things I remember, one's not important, but the second one is also not important.
01:38:13.000It's funny, which is he never liked tomatoes because when he was a kid, he bit into one thinking was an apple and it traumatized him so much.
01:38:21.000Well, Scientologists call that an aberration.
01:38:24.000And this is the doorway they bring people into Scientology.
01:38:28.000This is one of the key examples they use to convince people that their ideology is correct is that they'll say, is there something in your life that you know to be irrational, but you retain?
01:38:48.000You have an aberration because you know eggs are actually a normal food everyone eats, but you have an aversion to them because of one instance.
01:38:54.000Then they say, our program will cure you of these aberrations.
01:39:14.000Well, if you look at a lot of the kind of intelligence agencies, they have one kind of overall general kind of theme, and they usually like Mormons.
01:42:05.000It was like a recursion meme where someone said something, a leftist countered, they responded with the millennial woes meme, and then the person responded with, I still don't understand your point.
01:42:16.000The new one I saw online is that the SAVE Act, in order to prove your identity to vote, you can't use your marriage license because your marriage license doesn't match your name on your birth certificate.
01:42:29.000And even if that were true, who has ever used their marriage license to establish their identity?
01:46:32.000For some reason, whenever I picture it, I always think of it kind of like the way the universal earth moves, and I kind of see it moving through my head.
01:46:54.000So there's actually multiple tracks, and this is just one of them.
01:46:58.000So aside from being able to visualize the apple at level one and see the photo realistic apple in your head, there are people who could simultaneously imagine the apple in their head while it rotates, like Phil was just saying, splits in half, opens up the seats inside while they're listening to a song in their head, while they're planning the rest of their day and seeing words.
01:47:20.000But you were talking before the show about the NPC meme, and then we mentioned the Philosophical Zombie, and we were talking about AI and stuff.
01:47:27.000I thought it'd be interesting to have a conversation around that.
01:47:29.000Well, I think I was just talking about this with the trigonometer guys in the same way that I think all of us, if there's a concept one of us had, we could explain it to the others.
01:47:36.000Maybe you'd have some questions, but you'd be able to explain it.
01:47:38.000But we sat down with a nuclear physicist, like it would be just gibberish, and maybe we'll understand it through analogies, but we're not going to get it like they do.
01:47:45.000People understand that, but there's someone who's dumber than you, and they don't process information like on sitcoms where they know fewer facts or just take slower.
01:47:53.000They literally perceive data differently than you do.
01:47:57.000As a good example is when they read, instead of seeing sentences, they just see words as a soup and they reconnect them.
01:48:03.000The first time I noticed this, I was doing a talk and I met this girl who was writing at the time for Jezebel.
01:49:04.000And it's a story I've told in the show where he said something to the effect of, if you went to an investor and said, for $40,000, after four years, you will owe me $40,000 plus interest.
01:49:13.000Do you think the investor would take that deal?
01:49:16.000And that's what we're telling everyone to go into college for.
01:49:18.000That was the basis by which I said, this doesn't make much sense.
01:49:22.000He elaborated by saying that if you started at 18 years old working at McDonald's, after four years, on average, people find themselves as shift supervisors or sometimes assistant managers, and you will have saved on average $10,000.
01:49:33.000Whereas the college grad will get out after four years with nothing.
01:49:36.000On top of that, so that's usually where I stop and tell the story.
01:49:39.000But he went on to say additionally that college, the problem with college is that in order to actually thrive, your IQ needs to be in excess of 110.
01:49:46.000Unfortunately, we are telling people with IQs ranging from 95 to 105.
01:49:50.000And what happens is they may memorize words that you ask them to, but their brains can't process the connections between the data.
01:50:47.000So what the Democrats rely on is that people who are either incapable of registering to vote or disinterested in voting in general are made to vote.
01:52:20.000While you look up this point, going back to my point of the guy driving in his car with the mask on with the windows up, do you think those people are real?
01:52:26.000Is it part of the simulation messing with us?
01:52:27.000Or do you want to get into the mechanical elves, all that stuff?
01:53:29.000With 5 to 10% never experiencing an inner monologue.
01:53:32.000This means that they say it is interpreted as 30 to 50% regularly not having an inner monologue because of the bell curve.
01:53:43.000Basically, there are people who always do experience it, and there are people who never do, but most people experience it only about 25% of the time.
01:53:51.00051% of the population has no inner monologue because they're incapable of shutting the F up.
01:53:57.000Do people that like, if you talk to yourself, because usually I find myself, like, I'll be thinking things and I'm, you know, thinking the words and stuff.
01:54:05.000A lot of times I'll just be walking around.
01:54:21.000I'm just thinking words in my head, I guess.
01:54:23.000My friend Tibby, who was on Cash Cab with me, the funny story, she was in a deli and she's looking at the watermelon and she says out loud, doesn't realize she goes, $20 for watermelon.
01:57:19.000The Yeti says, Tim, ask anyone who says they can't visualize or that they don't have an inner voice if they dream or if they can count down from 10 in their head.
01:57:27.000Everyone has an inner voice and can visualize.
01:57:52.000And so ordered thinking can't understand that the way an individual experiences the world is different from someone else.
01:57:59.000So higher cognitive function individuals recognize that the easiest example is what I see as the color red, you may see as green, but because we both looked at the same thing and said red, we identify in the same way.
01:58:12.000Now, I guess they've scientifically proven that's not correct because of brain scans or whatever.
01:58:16.000But and now they can actually, did you see the mind-reading device they have?
01:58:20.000They put EEGs on people's brains and made them watch videos and then recreated from their brainwaves what they were seeing.
01:58:47.000And then there's combinations of the both at the same time.
01:58:50.000In fact, there are individuals who can simultaneously visualize two different things simultaneously while I'm going to put it like this.
01:58:59.000There are people who can imagine an apple in their head spinning around while replaying an event from earlier in their day, while planning what they're going to do later in their day and remembering what was happening in a book.
01:59:12.000So when I was doing my research for my North Korean book, Dear Reader, they're talking about Kim Jong-il.
01:59:16.000And Kim Jong-il's at a conference and there's a speaker and he's signing bills and his assistants, you know, interrupting him to ask questions about legislation.
01:59:23.000And Kim Jong-il, the speaker stops, and the dear leader says, why are you stopping?
01:59:27.000He goes, oh, you're doing all those things.
01:59:28.000And Kim Jung-Il goes, no, I look at time not as a plane, but as a cube.
01:59:35.000And from that point on, they realized Kim Jong-il can shrink time.
01:59:39.000And my friend goes, and my friend goes, do they mean multitasking?
02:01:38.000Like, Korea is basically like a bunch of I would describe South Koreans as the older generation, they're like more Korean traditionalists, more racist.
02:01:46.000The younger generation want to be Americans.
02:03:47.000He's a Christian, and he doesn't want.
02:03:49.000I want to connect people, have them fall in love, but this is for businesses too, because businesses need someone to kind of network and get people to talk to them.
