00:03:37.000I'm wondering if Iran is just doing this to make Trump look bad or if Trump is trying to protect the markets by, let's just call it, I'm being very nice here, massaging the truth.
00:03:49.000Some are suggesting it's because Trump is trying to negotiate with a rival faction who would take over, and the IRGC is not the people he's been in communication with.
00:03:58.000So, you don't know for sure, but we'll get into all that.
00:04:00.000And then, of course, one of my favorite stories: Bill Maher says he's with Trump.
00:04:05.000Indeed, the man of ultimate Trump derangement syndrome said: if it comes down to Tucker or Megan Kelly, he's with Donald Trump on this as it pertains to the war with Iran, which is creating a very interesting political bifurcation, to say the least.

00:06:47.000My friends, ICE officers deploy to some airports as TSA callouts worsen.
00:06:54.000They say immigration and customs enforcement agents have been deployed to 14 airports today to help during the Department of Homeland Security shutdown.
00:07:00.000The Transportation Security Administration has faced growing callouts from officers who have gone without pay since DHS funding lapsed in February.
00:07:07.000Well, my friends, we've got this video that's going viral of an illegal immigrant being arrested at an airport, an alleged illegal immigrant.
00:07:15.000I don't know who this woman is, but check this video out.
00:07:38.000I'm just imagining, like, all of these instances where ICE is arresting people.
00:07:42.000Like, I don't know what this lady's done or whatever, but you've got criminals and like pedophiles, and they're screaming, like, are you proud of what you're doing?
00:07:51.000And they're like, Yes, this person raped children.
00:08:04.000Then, of course, DHS says this arrest of illegal aliens occurred yesterday on March 22nd, before ICE officers were deployed to airports to bolster TSA efforts.
00:08:14.000ICE officers arrested Angelina Lopez-Yimenez and Wendy Godenez-Lopez at the San Francisco International Airport.
00:08:20.000These illegal aliens had a final removal order, a final removal order of removal.
00:08:34.000Since 2019, they say while being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez Yimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers.
00:08:42.000ICE is working as quickly as possible to repatriate the family unit to their home country of Guatemala.
00:08:51.000The American legal, you come into our country illegally, you break our laws, and we say, hey, we're going to give you a ride home and reunite you with your family.
00:08:59.000Well, and if you go by yourself, if you go on your own, you get a free flight and $2,600.
00:09:51.000But I think Biden and Democrats allowed people to come in, live off of our food, our system, our welfare, everything, steal from us, rob from us, kill us.
00:10:01.000And now when we're trying to deport them, people are a fringe, a small minority are up in arms.
00:10:06.000What most Americans want, and this is why Trump is in office, we want deportations.
00:10:11.000So I just think it's a small minority online and in mainstream media that's lying because more often when I see somebody getting arrested, I'm like, my God, what did they do?
00:13:00.000So I've been saying for a while we need to hire a film producer here so we can do these bits.
00:13:06.000I'd love to make a scene where like the illegal immigrant is asking for her arm to be fixed, but then just like pulls out a gun and starts shooting people randomly.
00:13:33.000And then what you do is you have like an illegal immigrant come in with a broken arm.
00:13:37.000And then when they're like tending to him, he just gets up, bolts full speed towards a little kid, picks the kid up, and just runs out the door and gone.
00:14:10.000Well, I've talked about it quite a bit.
00:14:12.000There was that viral Reddit post where this, it was like on two X chromosomes, which is, it's funny, like, the new Reddit CEO, Ellen Powell, at the time, forced it onto the default page.
00:14:23.000But there was a post where it was a woman being like, I feel guilty that I get all hot and bothered for big MAGA men.
00:14:30.000And she talked about how like she fantasizes about like a six foot three guy chiseled with a MAGA hat on just like taking her and just like having his way with her.
00:14:39.000And she's like, she loves it, but she feels guilty about it.
00:14:41.000It's like, why are you telling people this?
00:14:43.000Yeah, I don't know if there's like a right-wing analog.
00:14:45.000Like, oh, I really wish Rachel Maddow was screaming at me right now.
00:17:22.000All of our grid communications are wiped out and we are forced to revert back to 1994.
00:17:27.000But we wouldn't go back because the only way out is through.
00:17:29.000So we'd end up with even stupider stuff than we have now.
00:17:32.000I'm just saying like technology is Obled already only to the point where we have to live like it's 1994.
00:17:38.000Like we know cell phones exist, but the infrastructure is gone and the internet's largely gone.
00:17:42.000So we have this weak dial-up internet from the old would be getting back some of the old, the old news cycles where it's like one story for like a whole week.
00:17:58.000You just keep, well, the switch, like as doing news, like the switch from the Biden Trump administration to the Biden administration non-stop.
00:18:13.000You didn't have anything to talk about.
00:18:14.000And the same analysis actually kept me for like a week to a week and a half because nothing changed.
00:18:21.000And then President Trump comes in and I don't think I'm getting sleep.
00:18:23.000He doesn't sleep, but I am literally researching the things he's doing just to keep up with his military.
00:18:29.000Well, as soon as he came into office, like it was the first week and I had a staff meeting and I was like, okay, guys, we're working overtime.
00:18:35.000Stories are going to be shorter because we need more of them.
00:18:55.000It was titled Chuck Norris, action movie star, but his politics may muddy his legacy or whatever.
00:18:59.000And it went viral because people were like, look how they treat Rob Reiner, look how they treat Chuck Norris because he was a conservative.
00:19:04.000The article was mostly just a fluff piece.
00:19:06.000At the very end, it briefly mentions his movies were largely pro-American propaganda.
00:19:13.000But the reason they titled it this way is because we're in an age of 50,000 news websites all competing for you to click on them and you have no reason to click on them.
00:20:07.000I remember there was like a big shift where Daily Mail went.
00:20:12.000It used to be that it was all like heavy news and cultural issues, and now it's a whole lot of women's content.
00:20:18.000I think guys are, their brains are fried.
00:20:21.000And, you know, I think women's content just generates more money because women are, they're satisfied by different kinds of news.
00:20:30.000And I think women largely like to not be informed.
00:20:33.000And I'm not saying they don't read the news.
00:20:34.000I'm saying women like news stories that leave on a cliffhanger that don't tell you what's going to happen.
00:20:38.000And guys just are like, tell me what happened and shut up.
00:20:41.000So you'll notice that as journalism has become increasingly more female, you're getting a lot of news articles that instead of saying something like, today Donald Trump met at the Oval Office with, you know, UFC, blah, it'll start with, it was a crisp Sunday morning.
00:22:54.000The audio went massively viral as the air traffic controller is saying like, truck, move, turn, turn, turn, and then bang.
00:23:01.000And so immediately this plays into a question, which it may not need to, but people have been for some time warning about air traffic controllers, one, because there's a shortage, but also because of H-1B and DEI initiatives.
00:23:15.000And so this jumps way back to even Charlie Kirk making that point about, he said, if he got into a plane and saw a black pilot, he's questioning if that pilot is qualified.
00:23:23.000The left attacked him saying he was racist for doing so.
00:23:26.000But the point he was making is the left is putting people based on ideology in positions of authority without the skill required to do it.
00:23:35.000So how does something like this happen, shutting down the whole airport?
00:23:41.000So we were tracking this today at the Postmillennial, and it looks like what happened is the air traffic controller gave access to a runway to both a truck and a plane at the same time, only realizing too late that that's what he was doing.
00:23:53.000And he kept telling the truck to stop.
00:24:03.000And then passengers that were on board the Air Canada flight were saying that the pilots were trying to pull the brakes and it didn't work.
00:24:10.000But that's probably why the, you know, it's so high up.
00:24:14.000Like apparently they were trying to pull the brakes and that didn't work.
00:24:17.000A flight attendant was where in a jump seat, was ejected from the plane entirely.
00:26:20.000But God, I don't know how you go back to work after that.
00:26:23.000I would feel like, how do you do that?
00:26:25.000My immediate assumption is that the truck, it was a fire truck.
00:26:30.000They don't just go off communications.
00:26:32.000I'm wondering if something happened, like he's adjusting something.
00:26:35.000He's driving forward, thinks he's clear, adjusting an earpiece or the radio or something happens because I don't understand how he lost communication.
00:27:00.000I mean, unless the radio died right at that moment, something doesn't make sense.
00:27:04.000And I would assume your head's also on a swivel the entire time.
00:27:07.000Well, my father-in-law drives or flies planes, and literally he's talking to air traffic control every 10 seconds, and he's still looking right and left, even after clearance.
00:28:01.000And it's the best job because it doesn't snow that often, that heavy.
00:28:04.000So when you are a de-icer, you're mostly just playing Xbox all day, like that's what we were doing.
00:28:08.000But then when it does snow, you're out fully decked out in gear in a cherry picker just with this gigantic hose blasting planes.
00:28:15.000You have to drive that truck to refuel because you're going nonstop back and forth because you've got to, I don't understand how this happened.
00:29:56.000Maybe it's right, but it's an assessment by academics that when sex becomes cheap and available or disrupted, then what happens is you either get listless young men who go insane or you get guys who don't strive towards merit.
00:30:12.000And so you take a look at societies where they had strict cultural enforcement on relationships, whatever that might have been, a degree of difficulty.
00:30:40.000There's no reason because either it's inaccessible to like the weaker incel males who have no social abilities.
00:30:46.000And then the like higher tier like alpha chat guys who are just naturally attractive don't have to do anything because women give it up for free.
00:30:54.000And then in Rome, this happened as well.
00:30:55.000Like the relationship started to decline.
00:30:58.000There was an excessive ambuscuity in Rome.
00:31:01.000So now you have people who take jobs, but they half-ass everything.
00:31:04.000They do the bare minimum because they don't need to do anything to get.
00:32:42.000And then you start to wonder what happens to your children, what happens to the future of the civilization.
00:32:50.000Is it going to decline and then there'll be some new civilization on earth?
00:32:53.000You know, we're still getting to the end.
00:32:55.000At least 60 years to recover the population to what it is now, as in the population is declining because the birth rate went negative in 1980.
00:33:28.000How is it possible that Bill Maher would do such a thing?
00:33:30.000But what I'm going to do for you guys is actually connect the dots from what Bill Maher is saying about Tucker into what Tucker is saying about the world into how population decline means the end of this country.
00:33:57.000I think he was the counterintelligence guy.
00:33:59.000And he said, I can't go along with this because, you know what?
00:34:03.000He's been listening to too much Tucker Carlson.
00:34:05.000It's, you know, the Jews made us do it.
00:34:08.000It's just another version of anti-Semitism that comes out.
00:34:12.000First it was BDS, then it was their colonizers and genocide, which it wasn't, and all these other reasons.
00:34:18.000Like, you can't have a state in the world that's based on religion, even though there's like 46 Muslim countries that are based on religion.
00:34:25.000Some have the name right in the title of the country.
00:34:28.000But whatever it is, you have all these.
00:34:29.000And now the big answer is, no, Israel made us do it.
00:34:40.000But, you know, if I have to be on one side of this MAGA thing, either Trump or Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes, I'll be with Trump on this one.
00:34:59.000But while I certainly disagree with a portion of what Bill Maher is saying, when he was like, Joe Kent's criticism is the Jews, did it, it's a little heavy-handed in the other direction.
00:35:08.000You're allowed to criticize Israel as a country.
00:35:10.000You're allowed to criticize their pressure on the United States, AIPAC, and their campaigning.
00:35:40.0002.3 million views on just this one clip alone.
00:35:43.000And there's an additional interview with Tucker and a Chinese professor, or they say he's a Chinese professor, where, well, he's literally Chinese.
00:35:49.000I don't know if he's Chinese nationally, but he's ethnically, saying that it's time for the U.S. to come together with other partner countries to negotiate the distribution of power.
00:35:59.000And so, in combining these two things, you have these two worldviews.
00:36:05.000They're very pro-America, very pro-American hegemonic power, military industrial complex, inadvertently.
00:36:11.000And Donald Trump is in there along with Bill.
00:36:14.000So when you get Tucker, Candice, or Fuentes, or anybody else on the other side of that saying we can't do this, we can't be the world police.
00:36:25.000Bill Maher is going to align with Donald Trump.
00:36:27.000Now, what I will say is, I believe, though I disagree with Tucker on many things, what he's describing, whether you want it to or not, is inevitable.
00:36:37.000The theory is, and I agree with this, we've discussed this theory on this show years ago.
00:36:41.000Thucydides' trap is a reference to when a dominant power is on the decline and a rival power is ascendant, right before that switch happens, the dominant power will go to war with the weaker power as it is their last opportunity to stop their growth.
00:36:59.00012 out of 16 historical times in the past, we have seen this trend happen.
00:37:04.000The theory is the powers that be in the United States recognizing that Thucydides' trap is an inevitability as the United States cannot maintain itself.
00:37:11.000After a few generations, you get merit decline, you get social degradation, you have to have a jumping of the ship to a new culture.
00:37:19.000The theory is that in the 90s, take a look at what H.W. Bush said with the new world order.
00:37:27.000The theory is they go to China, cut these trade deals, start sending all of our manufacturing over there so that the decline and the ascension are so fast, war is impossible.
00:37:38.000The powerful elites transfer as much of their wealth to China as possible.
00:37:41.000The U.S. falters, no longer a global dominant power.
00:37:45.000China is ascendant, becomes the unipolar power.
00:37:47.000The Belt and Road Initiative, all of their projects become dominant and the U.S. becomes second rate.
00:37:53.000The U.S. standard of living drops dramatically.
00:37:56.000I believe, unfortunately, there is a very, very high probability that is true no matter what you do, because Americans did not have children.
00:38:05.000And we just talked about this plane crash in LaGuardia.
00:38:07.000There is a massive decline in capability and skill.
00:38:12.000I have spoken with many business leaders and business owners, and I have witnessed it.
00:38:19.000Managers are saying there is a massive shortage of talent and managerial talent.
00:38:24.000So we've seen businesses go under near us because they have a lack of functional employees.
00:38:31.000They can't find people who can do these jobs.
00:38:33.000Flooding the country with Honduran migrants will not solve for this problem.
00:38:38.000And that seems to be what Democrats were trying to do, whether to save the economy or to just massively destroy us, to destroy us much more quickly.
00:38:46.000The end result is the migrant, the migrant from Honduras or Guatemala or from Eritrea or wherever country they're coming from will not be an air traffic controller.
00:38:56.000There is nothing you can do to make that happen.
00:38:58.000And this guy, whether it's his fault or not, told the truck to go on and then the truck crashes in an airplane.
00:39:05.000What happens in 10 years when we do not have entry-level talent or managerial talent?
00:39:13.000I don't see how it's possible that we push forward.
00:39:15.000And I want to stress too, because people have said AI will replace these jobs.
00:39:19.000And I have pushed back on this, saying AI will not buy tacos from your taco stand.
00:39:25.000You can replace your employees with robots to make the tacos, but you need human beings to buy the tacos to exist.
00:39:33.000But here's where it gets even crazier.
00:39:36.000Already, companies have been quietly rehiring engineers because the AI could not actually do the job.
00:39:42.000And behind the scenes, there are some tech companies that have said, if we find any element of vibe coding in your work, you are fired immediately because the vibe coding from these AIs is miserably bad and they can't figure out how to fix it because no one's created a code map of what they actually did.
00:40:01.000So, at least for now, I do believe AI will get to the point where it will be much more functional.
00:40:09.000Look, at the turn of the century into the 1900s, there were fears that New York would be overrun by horse manure.
00:40:15.000They were writing there's too many people, population growth is too much, and with all the horses everywhere, there's going to be piles upon piles of manure everywhere.
00:40:23.000And then, 20 years later, there was not a single drop of horse poop.
00:41:21.000Like looking at it, the cat knows all.
00:41:24.000I mean, China's birth rate is significantly worse than the U.S. They're facing the same labor shortages.
00:41:28.000And also, I mean, like, the Americans, I think, in the last six months specifically, I've been surprised by how capable our military is.
00:41:35.000I think, obviously, everyone knew our military was strong, but the Venezuela operation really blew people's minds.
00:41:40.000And Iran, I mean, it's difficult to tell right now, but it seems like we're accomplishing a lot of our military goals there.
00:41:45.000You know, aside whether or not you support the war, just from a military perspective, it's like we are still clearly punching at least at our weight, if not above our weight.
00:41:51.000And also, like, again, I mean, we're the biggest.
00:43:23.000I was once talking to Jack the Soviet's wife, Tanya, and she was saying that like generations of her family were all born in the same town, but all in different countries.
00:43:33.000Countries every time, you know, like over, it was just overtaken and overtaken and overtaken.
00:43:38.000No, but yeah, I mean, like, well, just get on to this point.
00:43:41.000I mean, the selective pronunciation of foreign words is like one of my biggest pet peeves because it's like, we don't say Deutschland, we say Germany, but then all of a sudden you're supposed to say Kief and then Turkey at the Olympics, Turkey's trying to get everyone to pronounce it like Turki with like the weird dots above the U. I'm like, what are we doing?
00:43:55.000But I have no problem with Iran because we literally look at the word and it's Iran and people say Iran.
00:44:29.000Earlier today, Donald Trump said after productive talk to the country of Iran, he would be postponing these strikes on their energy facilities.
00:44:59.000I think the truth is Donald Trump likely, concerned about market movements and oil prices, wants to put out a message of confidence that we are going to be winding these things down.
00:45:10.000He keeps saying we're contemplating winding down, despite the fact all indications are we are deploying troops into the region.
00:45:17.000Now, Iran then fires missiles at Israel, seemingly to prove they have no interest in de-escalation or peace talks.
00:45:25.000So this flies in the face of what Trump is saying.
00:45:28.000I can certainly envision a scenario where Trump did communicate with them.
00:45:31.000They did agree to open the straight of horror moves and calm things down, and then came out and lied about it to make Trump look weak and stupid.
00:45:39.000That being said, the next big component of the story is that reportedly Iran fired ICBMs at Diego Garcia, a U.S. airbase.
00:45:48.000I believe it's what, like 2,000 kilometers away or something?
00:45:52.000Outside the range of what is believed to be Iran's missile capability, indicating that Iran has the ability to hit Central Europe with ICBMs.
00:46:02.000And if they get nuclear weapons, you are now dealing with an enemy, with an adversary that is nuclear-armed, erratic, and ideologically fundamentalist.
00:46:11.000Now, a lot of people are saying they don't believe it.
00:46:14.000Iran claimed that they never fired these missiles.
00:46:16.000It was actually Israel doing a false flag attack.
00:46:19.000And it's really going to come down to whether or not you believe the U.S. or Iran.
00:46:25.000I just think it's actually scary that we are currently at a time where there's a large portion of Americans who do not believe Western allies in general, because the U.K. also confirmed Iran fired these missiles.
00:46:37.000But we just don't trust our governments anymore.
00:46:40.000But it is still strange to believe Iran over this.
00:46:50.000I'm going to go ahead and just lean towards, I don't know if I can trust them.
00:46:53.000Actually, I know I probably can't, but I'm going to have to go with them on this one anyway, because I have no reason to support or want Iran any kind of success in this regard.
00:47:03.000Do you think that something like this, if it proves out, will bring the UK and other NATO allies into this conflict?
00:47:10.000Well, didn't we see what, like, seven nations?
00:47:13.000Yeah, they sort of been dithering around, but they're not really doing anything.
00:47:17.000Well, I mean, Iran has launched missiles at Diego Garcia, which as of now is still British territory.
00:47:43.000I just think it's insane that these countries haven't stepped up.
00:47:46.000And it just continues to show that we use this word allies, but they really, it doesn't really mean anything because when push comes to shove, like even the straight, we're energy independent here today, including our oil production.
00:48:00.000So we could step away from this, but for the fact that then the IRGC gets control and this was all for nothing.
00:48:06.000But that's why I think he's pushing and testing Europe and some of these other allies to say you have to step up because your oil is in jeopardy more than ours is at this point.
00:48:15.000And I still think China's getting oil from Iran.
00:48:23.000I mean, they're making, I read reports, $150 million in the sale of oil.
00:48:28.000Well, I think that's why I think that's why Trump just lifted the sanctions for 30 days on the oil that's around.
00:48:36.000That's what was such a shame was because we were flooding the market with the Venezuelan oil, and that was hurting Russia because obviously their war machine and whatnot is built off of not entirely what energy prices.
00:48:44.000And then all of a sudden now we spiked the oil price back.
00:48:48.000So the official number is that the range of the missiles towards Diego Garcia were 4,000 kilometers, where previously it was believed Iran only had a 2,000 kilometer range for their missiles.
00:48:57.000Is this a false flag by the U.S. and Israel to rally support against Iran, or did Iran actually do this?
00:49:05.000Here's the issue I take with the false flag narrative.
00:49:09.000The people who believe that the U.S. is capable of doing a false flag, the false flag, the false flags that conspiracy theorists believe the U.S. pulled off are substantially more successful.
00:49:20.000Just launching some missiles and claiming they went this far but were intercepted is not typically how one would perceive a false flag from the West, who, again, tends to be more successful, like the Gulf of Tonkin incident.
00:49:33.000In which case, if Western powers really wanted a cassus belly to get our allies or to get public support for a war in Iran, why do a thing in the middle of nowhere no one can see or believe that has no success and causes no damage?
00:49:50.000That doesn't seem to make sense to me.
00:49:51.000They could literally just have like a fake terrorist blow up, killing civilians, and then be like, oh, look, it happened.
00:49:56.000It makes more sense that Iran's got crummy missiles that can go pretty far and didn't work, but did go far than we thought.
00:50:30.000And we need places like Europe and some of these other countries to step up.
00:50:33.000This is honestly a godsend, given that President Trump has said five days, because within those five days, all of these, quote, allies that are supposed to be our friends need to step up.
00:50:44.000I don't think, I don't know if they will, but I do believe that the U.S. will put boots on the ground, at least on Carg Island.
00:51:13.000The probability jumps to 20%, doubling their money.
00:51:17.000So they can cash out with a clean 100,000 profit.
00:51:21.000If they are proven correct, they get over a million dollars if this actually happens.
00:51:25.000Now, I don't know that there will actually be a peace deal.
00:51:29.000I think someone knew Trump was going to send that statement, which would be enough to boost the price of those contracts that could then sell it a profit.
00:52:03.000Losing in Iran after all this started would be substantially worse than like, I think it was a mistake to go in, but losing would be worse than anything else right now.
00:52:15.000But I don't believe Trump's being honest about everything that's going on.
00:52:17.000I think the escalation is happening, and I think he keeps saying there's going to be de-escalation because he wants to protect the markets.
00:52:22.000I think Trump is often not honest about this stuff.
00:52:25.000I mean, I think a lot of what he does is behind the scenes.
00:52:28.000And so he'll say something on the surface.
00:52:31.000He'll say something publicly that then turns out to not be the thing.
00:52:35.000But he says that in order to gain something in some other part of whatever negotiation he's doing.
00:52:41.000And I think that's, you know, I think that sort of makes sense.
00:52:44.000I mean, you can't be entirely transparent with the American people without being entirely transparent to the world.
00:52:50.000And that's probably not the best thing to be, you know?
00:52:53.000But at the same time, I mean, I'm sort of with you on this.
00:52:56.000I wasn't a big fan of this incursion into Iran.
00:54:03.000So back in World War II, you could have a guy who's a pilot and he starts packing his bags and a neighbor sees him packing his bags and he goes, holy crap, I think he's deploying.
00:54:12.000He then tells his friends, hey, my buddy's a pilot, my neighbor.
00:54:26.000So that being said, I won't go into the details of the rumors.
00:54:28.000But based on what we're hearing in the area, it sounds like there will be additional troops being deployed for the purpose of taking Carga Island.
00:54:35.000And this is just based on what people are noticing in the area.
00:54:38.000But, you know, I don't even need to say that.
00:54:40.000There's a viral photo of a troop eating lobster and steak.
00:55:38.000And so when you're thinking about this, you really have to imagine, you know, you really have to want the absolute best for these kids, for these troops and for our country.
00:55:47.000And if that's going big and like getting it done, whatever it is, and getting it done as quickly as possible with the least amount of casualties, that's at this point, that's what I'm in favor of.
00:55:58.000Yeah, I mean, like, two things can be simultaneously changed.
00:56:01.000One, I don't want to be in this war, but two, now that we are in this war, let's do this correctly.
00:56:29.000I don't think that's what President Trump thinks.
00:56:30.000And I don't think anybody wants to be in war.
00:56:34.000I think most Americans would say we don't want war.
00:56:37.000I respectfully disagree about Iran, though.
00:56:40.000We talk about the 47 years, but they have literally been building and increasing their uranium intake.
00:56:47.000And to a point where you even have some of the military members that have come on the news and talked about the fact that they were between six and ten nukes away from taking our embassies out to even some of our allies.
00:57:01.000And I don't want to be a sitting duck like we were at 9-11 where we weren't ready.
00:57:59.000We got this from the Wall Street Journal.
00:58:01.000Thousands of Marines to arrive in CETCOM the same day as Trump's Iran deadline.
00:58:06.000Thousands of U.S. Marines are slated to arrive in the Middle East on Friday, according to two U.S. officials, the day President Trump has set the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
00:58:14.000They say that Japan-based amphibious assault ship, USS Tripoli, the amphibious loading dock USS New Orleans, and roughly 2,200 Marines from the 31st Marine Expedition Unit will cross into U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. forces in the Middle East.
00:58:27.000On Friday, the officials said it would take another few days for the unit to get to the Strait of Hormuz.
00:58:31.000So I'm wondering, the implication, I suppose, is that Trump says he's going to give another five days is not actually about negotiating.
00:58:40.000It's about giving our forces time to get to the region and get prepared for it for a ground incursion or invasion.
00:58:48.000Sounds like that may be the case because we are, while Trump is saying he's holding off, we are actively deploying ground troops to the region.
00:58:56.000Yeah, that could make sense very well.
00:58:58.000I mean, five days, it also helps our stock market a little bit.
01:00:58.000That they just say whatever to generate attention.
01:01:03.000And then regular people are ill-informed and it causes political disruption where we need it to be stable.
01:01:09.000So I do wonder what the plan is for the powers that be.
01:01:12.000I mean, obviously they're going to a war and this war is massively unpopular.
01:01:17.000How are they going to control that messaging?
01:01:19.000And I'm not saying that they should or it's good.
01:01:22.000I'm saying they need to if they want to succeed in these operations.
01:01:26.000If they want to control American public perception.
01:01:28.000I mean, I would do daily briefings and it's got to be somebody like Pete Hegseth who is talking to the American people and as much information as they can share, they need to start doing that.
01:01:38.000But that's going to get, what, 200,000 views on the dying cable networks?
01:01:43.000And then the top podcasts are going to go on and say that Erica Kirk's a zombie and they're going to get 50 million views collectively.
01:01:50.000I mean, Hegseth's been doing press briefings a couple of times a week at 8 o'clock in the morning, you know, and I've been tuning in and watching them.
01:01:56.000A lot from your tomb's been in the room.
01:02:33.000But his number one issue, and you can see this consistently through every single time he talked about these wars before he was a politician, is he said, where's the oil?
01:02:40.000Like, we'd conducted this massive operation.
01:02:42.000You know, we moved heaven and earth to make these invasions happen.
01:02:45.000But what was in it for the Americans as far as like tangible, like real reward?
01:02:49.000Because you look in the past how empires conducted their affairs.
01:02:52.000The British, the Portuguese, the Spanish, all of these empires, when they would conduct operations overseas, they would return with goodies.
01:02:58.000They'd say, look, we have tea now and all these exciting new resources for the people back in the home countries.
01:03:05.000The American empire, so to speak, doesn't really operate that way.
01:03:07.000It's like the rewards are geopolitical.
01:03:45.000This is why he's such a genius politically.
01:03:47.000It's because he understands people respond to reward.
01:03:49.000People need to be incentivized to participate in politics.
01:03:52.000Well, also, people respond to Trump when he makes sure that everyone gets to retain their dignity.
01:03:58.000You know, that's why his negotiations globally have tended to work because he knows what everyone needs in order to stay in the negotiation.
01:04:05.000He treats everyone with respect and he lets everyone maintain their own sense of respect.
01:04:39.000He understands that no matter who's at the negotiating table, he knows that they're going to be self-interested and looking out for their people.
01:04:45.000And that's sadly such a massive departure from every government over the last 60 to 70 years.
01:04:49.000He understands when you sit at the table with Russia, they're not looking to make a deal that will benefit both of us.
01:04:53.000They're just like, what's in it for Russia?
01:04:55.000And we need to be like, well, what's in it for us?
01:04:56.000The big question I have for all of these people is like, what are they doing generally?
01:05:02.000This is why we're talking about Tucker Carlson saying that we've got to share power now.
01:05:08.000The theory, of course, on Thucydides' Trap that I had mentioned previously is that these ultra-wealthy elites basically get together for a conference and just say, what's the point?
01:05:31.000And so then it feels like a lot of this is fake for some other reason.
01:05:39.000Maybe the reality is that Donald Trump really is an insurgent candidate who's defying the elites who are trying to create this we're all rich, screw the people reality.
01:05:48.000And Trump's like, no, America is going to be the best thing ever.
01:05:50.000Or maybe everything's fake, fake and gay.
01:05:54.000Yeah, that's also very likely that everything is fake and gay.
01:06:02.000Yeah, like normal people perceiving this war is we're just like, what's with all these gay guys?
01:06:07.000Oh, I got to say, like, the stupidest thing imaginable is the people who are like, we are in this war because they were killing their citizens.
01:07:05.000You're my special little sleeper communist.
01:07:07.000Like Hassan's actually a super-based laissez-faire, like anarchist, you know, pretending to be a communist to infiltrate the left and say dumb things.
01:07:29.000I think Cuba will fall into the Western sphere of influence.
01:07:32.000I mean, the people that are protesting, they don't care about the government.
01:07:34.000They just want to be able to go to the bathroom and watch TV and not die in the hospital because the power goes out in the middle of surgery.
01:07:40.000And also, hello, the Secretary of State is Mark Arubio.
01:07:43.000Like, he is a total axe of Granath Cuba.
01:07:45.000Of course, we're going to own it in the next couple of years.
01:09:32.000People are like, it doesn't make sense that Hassan Piker is a socialist who lives in a $5 million mansion and has like a $200,000 car and wears all this luxury items.
01:09:40.000I'm like, because he's, listen, the play the whole time was, you know, he's at his like Rothbard fan club meeting, and they're like, we need someone to pretend to be a commie and go online and rally them all and say really dumb things to keep them confused so we can win.
01:10:05.000Hassan was at a Mises caucus meeting, and they were like, we need someone to jump on the grenade to be that fake communist, to infiltrate and destroy.
01:10:13.000And then he stands up with a single tear comes down his eye and he goes, I'll do it.
01:10:18.000And they're like, Hassan, no, you're the greatest capitalist we've ever known.
01:10:21.000He goes, no, I can pretend to be a really stupid, retarded communist.
01:11:46.000Kobezi letter says traders placed $580 million worth of oil trades 15 minutes prior to Trump's post about a potential peace deal with Iran.
01:11:54.0006,200 Brent and WTI futures contracts were traded between $649 and $650.
01:12:01.000$1.5 billion in notion of value that we saw.
01:12:03.000It is not known whether one entity or several entities were behind those trades.
01:12:07.000These trades likely generated over $100 million worth of profit in around 20 minutes.
01:12:13.000And then he says, they, this is unprecedented.
01:12:17.000Short positions in Brent crude oil futures by producers, merchants, processors, and commercial users are up to a record $139 billion.
01:12:25.000These are the companies that physically produce, refine, trade, and consume oil.
01:12:28.000Short positions have doubled since the start of the year.
01:12:31.000By comparison, the 2022 energy crisis peak was around $155 billion.
01:12:36.000By selling futures contracts at today's prices, producers are agreeing to sell their future oil at around $100 per barrel, even if the market price falls by the time they actually pump it.
01:12:46.000This guarantees their revenue regardless of where prices go next, protecting their margins when prices normalize.
01:12:53.000Oil producers are seeing unprecedented profitability.
01:12:56.000Long story short, ladies and gentlemen, people somewhere know exactly what the long-term play on all of this will be, and they are getting rich off it.
01:13:06.000Now, the shorts on oil are interesting because a short is a bet that a stock will fall.
01:13:13.000So if they're shorting now, they are suspecting oil will drop down.
01:13:17.000I will add additionally that rumors circulating in D.C. have been the entire time that this will not last, this conflict, more than a few weeks.
01:13:28.000When Trump announces this, the rumors are that it's going to be over relatively shortly.
01:13:33.000And it could just be, I've heard those same rumors too.
01:13:36.000So somebody went in and bought a bunch of stocks hearing rumors in D.C. Or it could be these rumors are born.
01:13:44.000Well, it could also be that because of these purchases, people spread rumors.
01:13:47.000I think loose lips are happening in D.C. Somebody in the Trump administration or in some department told a friend, yeah, what's probably going to happen is this because this is happening.
01:13:57.000It's not classified, but it's speculation.
01:13:59.000Everybody here is in the DC area, they dump millions making this bet, and then they are proven correct.
01:14:05.000So I would just call it wisdom of the crowd, or at least of the insiders, to suggest this war may be winding down sooner than we think, despite troop movements, which I certainly hope would be the case.
01:14:17.000Yeah, I mean, I think there's a realistic situation in which like we actually do just negotiate our way out.
01:14:22.000I mean, this is like the thing with Trump is he's proven over and over again he could like negotiate in these really tight situations.
01:14:26.000So this could just be a plan truster making a bet here.
01:14:29.000That could be the reality of the situation.
01:14:30.000There is like a lot of these people out there that are just complete total plan trusters, and they actually are just taking Trump at his word when he's saying like, no, this will be like everybody who bought the Trump Truth Social stock.
01:14:41.000Well, there was the people that said when Trump literally posted today would be like a good day to buy stocks and then like, you know, dropped the tariffs down and then the stock market exploded.
01:14:50.000This could be a similar situation where Trump has keeps saying over and over again, hey, this war is going to end in a few weeks.
01:14:55.000This could just be people that are like taking him at his word.
01:15:32.000I don't know how the leaders installed that he's going to be willing to work with, which is why I really want to know who's going to be able to do that.
01:15:38.000Yeah, I mean, there's the potential to leave total chaos behind.
01:15:43.000Then that's failure and Trump doesn't accept it.
01:15:45.000Yeah, but that's what we've done in other places.
01:15:57.000We're trying to get rid of those nuclear facilities and make sure correct because they're radical and they're crazy and there's going to be somebody else.
01:16:06.000But there could be somebody that we can work with at the top so that when we leave, we can continue to work with them on the straight of Hermuz and our oil prices don't go up and down every time there's a conflict.
01:18:53.000Your tunnels are shut down, destroyed.
01:18:57.000The police can't do anything about it.
01:18:59.000I don't even know how the military would get in there and deal with 160,000 people in urban guerrilla warfare, occupying buildings in windows with rifles if it really got to that point.
01:19:08.000So when you take a look at Iran with 90 million, if you had 1% of the country radicalized partisans, 900,000 people refusing to allow a new regime to come in, you get a revolution overnight.
01:19:22.000Regular people who live in these countries in America or otherwise are largely like, leave me out of it.
01:19:26.000So we can blow up every single one of these people, but you still have 90 million.
01:19:30.000And they're not going to the U.S. just come in and take over.
01:19:33.000It's not going to work without a massive occupation of that country.
01:19:37.000Yeah, and then we would have to be up for doing that occupation.
01:19:47.000I mean, I think at least it seems like the objective from the Trump administration here is the same as it was in Venezuela and what it would be in Cuba, which is you just keep the regime in place.
01:19:58.000But that's not what's going on here, right?
01:20:00.000I mean, at this point, like early on, so February 28th was when we started this whole bombing campaign with Israel.
01:20:07.000But shortly, I think it was that weekend when Trump said that the people who he'd hoped to negotiate with, who he thought would be able to take over Iran, were killed.
01:20:18.000So, I mean, they took out the people that they thought they could hand the regime over to.
01:20:23.000But, I mean, that's tough because, look, like us and Israel have different targets in Iran as well.
01:20:28.000So Israel's going for regime change in the United States.
01:20:31.000You saw yesterday where Trump was borating.
01:20:32.000I don't even know if Israel's going for regime change as much as Israel is going to just completely decimate Iran.
01:20:39.000I mean, Iran's one of the countries that in 1948 kicked out like, you know, hundreds of thousands of Jews who ended up on Israel's doorstep all of a sudden.
01:20:47.000And this isn't like any, I'm not saying anything about what if Israel's in the right or wrong as far as like their goals here.
01:20:51.000I'm just saying like clearly they are out of step.
01:20:53.000So, you know, if they were taking out like if they're settling scores really in Iran, that might not be like in the Trump administration's like that might not be their prerogative.
01:21:01.000They could be actually seeking, you're dealing with two different, there are overlapping goals, but there are diverging goals.
01:21:07.000You saw like yesterday where Trump was going out and saying they bombed like the gas.
01:22:29.000A nice payday could be on the way for homeowners in Ashburn's Regency neighborhood.
01:22:32.000Data Center Dynamics reports residents are being offered over $4 million per acre to sell their property, data center developers.
01:22:38.000I got to be honest, if I own property there, they came to me and said, we'll give you $4 million per acre, I'd say, give me $8 million per acre else on it right now.
01:23:17.000And it's fascinating because I've had a bunch of calls recently as I've talked about the business, the industry, companies wanted to buy the podcasting space.
01:23:24.000And we've talked about over the past year or two that every single media producer has complained about a decline in viewership.
01:23:31.000Like it's getting worse and worse for the cable networks.
01:23:35.000They're planning on canceling these shows.
01:24:33.000I don't know, but what I will say is this: the reason for this decline is decentralization and ease of content production.
01:24:40.000So podcasts and social media and YouTube displaced cable TV.
01:24:45.000It was so easy for regular people to make content that people were just like, I'd rather watch a more authentic guy than Jake Tapper.
01:24:52.000Now you have an expansion in the ease of content creation where people can go to AI and make mini docs and just spam blast them.
01:24:59.000And they're producing hundreds of these per day, and there's thousands of people doing it, meaning that it's becoming increasingly difficult to be an independent content creator.
01:25:44.000This is where they steal everyone's private data from, you know, it's the federal government building their mega machine.
01:25:52.000What we are witnessing is the massive and rapid expansion without care, which will transform and destroy our economy so rapidly.
01:26:01.000I don't know how this results in anything other than mass poverty.
01:26:05.000The way it's been described to me by several wealthy individuals is that in the next few years, you will have, it's going to be like Elysium.
01:26:14.000Where all the rich people speak French and live in a space station, and all the poor people live on Earth and can barely, and are struggling to get by and living on top of each other.
01:26:41.000So there's going to be a bifurcation right now.
01:26:44.000The people who don't know how much money they have is the easy way to explain it.
01:26:48.000When the AI takes over, they will be the elite class forever.
01:26:53.000And the people who know how much money they have will be the labor impoverished class forever or just isolated and then slowly just wither away, I guess.
01:27:04.000And this will dramatically reduce population.
01:27:07.000The way Andrew Tate describes it, and it's actually a really great point that say what you want about the guy.
01:27:18.000I have a portfolio managed by somebody else.
01:27:19.000I have properties that change value every day.
01:27:21.000I don't even, I've got so many banking ones, I don't know how much money's in them.
01:27:24.000And then he said, if you know how much money you have, you're poor because you are tracking your money and you actually, I mean, the truth is, Elon Musk does not know how much money he has.
01:27:40.000I'm not saying behind his back, but like for him without him knowing.
01:27:44.000With these data centers, you've had people, as we mentioned, they're going to open, they're going to hire, they're going to buy robots and kiosks to make the cheeseburgers for their burger shop.
01:27:53.000But there's not going to be people to buy the cheeseburgers.
01:27:56.000There are going to be jobs that generate revenue for the people that have to live under the system, and they will have to do some kind of labor to the benefit of the people who own things.
01:28:06.000In Ukraine, I went there in 2014 and 2016.
01:28:11.000And I was actually considering moving there at the time because things were relatively stable.
01:28:16.000And it's like the average income of a Ukraine was $400 a month.
01:28:21.000The average rent was something like $100 a month for like a downtown apartment.
01:29:57.000I guarantee you, these machines know how to make money off of the stock market better than any individual or corporation.
01:30:04.000We have known for a decade plus that many of the biggest investment firms use computers to execute trades rapidly, faster than a human can, to exploit.
01:30:46.000So the theory is then when you open it up to the internet, what will it do?
01:30:50.000Everything in its power to start buying up land and generating and creating data centers.
01:30:58.000So there are weird buildings with no humans working in them.
01:31:01.000There are no lights in the building because they don't need lights because robots do the general maintenance and they don't need to see the way humans do.
01:31:27.000And like there's the future is just one fat Indian guy and his family have all the money of the world because they successfully scammed the AI.
01:31:39.000There is a theory that the houses surrounding the data centers are not actually inhabited by humans, but were constructed to make it look like a residential neighborhood.
01:31:49.000But you never go there because no one lives there.
01:31:52.000So it's like in New York City, the houses, like there's a lot of houses near transit stations, and they're just sort of like a little bit of transit infrastructure in the house.
01:32:12.000There are neighborhoods that people suspect are empty because there's no cars and they never see people coming or going.
01:32:18.000But if no one lives there, why would a human ever go there, right?
01:32:23.000So the theory is the data centers, the AI, builds a bunch of developments around the data center to look like a residential neighborhood so that people don't grow suspicious, the giant black box that are popping up.
01:32:35.000Big black death cube that says evil corp on it, but there's nothing houses.
01:33:11.000But at the same time, I've also noticed a massive expansion of developments around where, around this area, because we're not far from Louden at a time of population decline.
01:33:20.000So for what purpose are they preparing to build lots and lots of houses?
01:33:25.000I don't know, but I will also stress with this story, the creepy thing is that where we are right now is in the power corridor for the data center alley.
01:33:34.000And the theory, my understanding is that this area that we're in will comparably sell for psychotic prices because the data centers will need transmission lines.
01:33:45.000So we've talked about it before, but the story goes, the reason these sales are happening quietly and rarely reported on, which this is going to piss off a lot of people, is because residential, because human beings don't like it.
01:34:01.000So we covered a story where transmission lines are trying to, they're trying to build transmission lines next to a Christmas tree farm in Mount Airy, Maryland, and they're fighting it saying we don't want this.
01:34:11.000This is why none of these, this is why they sell it for $4 million.
01:34:15.000They go to the family and they say, how much do you want to tell no one?
01:34:18.000And the crazy thing is there are rumors, stories, this is all urban legend, that the sales, this is why people think it's the AI itself doing it.
01:34:27.000You'll get an email from a corporation saying, we want to do a quiet, quick sell with no agents for this property you own at a premium price of this amount.
01:34:38.000And then the people say, what do I need to do?
01:34:39.000And they say, we're going to mail you paperwork.
01:35:06.000There's a story of like the Ashburn stuff we see quite a bit because they're selling at record prices and there's a lot of people there starting to spread the news about it.
01:35:15.000But in the area that we're in, there are rumors from regular people as well as certain reports that have popped up indicating people have quietly been selling off their lots for premium prices because either it's just a normal human being running an AI company and he says, look, people are going to get mad if they find out we're doing this, but we need 300 acre lots per data center.
01:35:39.000And so it could just be people are doing it.
01:35:40.000It's like robots knocking people's doors with a briefcase.
01:36:16.000I do know there's a lot of pushback on the data centers.
01:36:18.000I mean, we're seeing it in Ohio where so many people, there's like multi-million dollar campaigns just to convince people that this is okay or this is good.
01:36:26.000It's like Walmart coming into your neighborhood.
01:37:25.000We don't should actually bomb Ashburn.
01:37:26.000In Northern Virginia, there's a lot of these sort of manufactured communities where it's like there's an anchor Whole Foods or a Wegmans, and then there's a lot of little restaurants, there's apartments, there's townhouses, and then like a little bit spread out, more single-family homes.
01:37:41.000And I was driving around there with my mom who hated it, right?
01:37:45.000She was like, this is absolutely cookie cutter.
01:37:50.000So throughout the 90s and the early 2000s, we were hearing from civil engineers that we needed to build more walkable communities with town centers.
01:37:59.000And nobody imagined that what it would look like is a prefab, manufactured, you know, crap-looking set of buildings and homes.
01:38:09.000If you take like your sustainable vision and you put the money behind it, that is the kind of money we have and not like millions of dollars, you know, billions of dollars to make it look like something that was organic and sprung up over hundreds of years.
01:38:31.000And people, I see people in chat being like, Tim's full, stuff's not happening.
01:38:35.000I just pulled this up from governor.westregion.org February.
01:38:38.000This is just a month ago, a $4 billion investment in a near 600, what is it, 1.9 million square foot 600 megawatt critical IT capacity data center in Berkeley County.
01:39:09.000They want it for data centers and for power transmission into Data Center Alley in Virginia, which is only like from where we are, 10 minutes, 15 minutes.
01:39:17.000If you want to get to Leesburg and get further down by like Ashburt's a bit further away, but I'm telling you, these companies are moving in quietly, dumping billions of dollars, buying out land.
01:39:28.000What you need to understand is in residential areas, the way the structure of human civilization in the United States people own like single-acre lots.
01:39:37.000So you might have a 50-acre lot, a hundred acre lot, but you're going to have a ton of half-acre and single-acre residential lots.
01:40:52.000I'm telling you, it really is just this.
01:40:55.000I'd rather live in the AI fabricated neighborhood with big homes.
01:40:58.000I don't see how you stop this from happening, but understand what it means when your neighborhood gets taken over by an investment into a data center.
01:41:09.000It will drive up energy prices to an extreme degree.
01:41:12.000You will eventually, it's like the movie UP, right?
01:41:16.000Except instead of being surrounded by a shopping mall and human development, you'll be surrounded by a giant black box and there will be nothing, nothing for you there.
01:41:25.000Your neighborhood, your community will be turned into a giant black box.
01:41:30.000Because President Trump did talk about a lot of these data centers and making sure they were going to generate energy and pay for it themselves so that residents weren't getting the energy like the fees passed on to them.
01:41:42.000So how much of it are his policies going to protect in terms of energy costs and things like that?
01:41:48.000Because that's one of the things he said.
01:42:12.000You know, but the, yeah, Trump was saying that one of the things he was recommending when data centers were being built, these big companies building their AI data centers, was that they also build power plants.
01:42:21.000And he said that the zoning and the regulations would be fast-tracked and there'd be no issue to get the power plants approved.
01:42:30.000So I think there was one in Georgia that maybe was also building a power plant, but certainly the stuff that's going that's happening in Maryland, like they're not building power plants.
01:42:40.000I doubt this is going to be in Berkeley County.
01:42:42.000I doubt there would be a power plant built with that.
01:42:56.000He's not going to be preventing big AI companies from buying up all the housing and just tearing it down.
01:43:02.000So, you know, let's say the let's say BlackRock is prevented from buying up a whole bunch of property, but this AI data center is not prevented from buying up a whole bunch of property.
01:43:12.000We then still have the same problems with expensive housing.
01:43:16.000I thought it was foreign companies as well.
01:43:19.000I don't know, but I mean, the AI companies aren't foreign companies like Meta is an American company, you know, but if they, but if they, Trump is so on board with the AI centers that I don't think he would do anything to put a stop to them buying up that land or that housing.
01:43:38.000And the other thing I think is communities like probably Morrissey and others, when they look at these centers, they look at the initial jobs.
01:43:46.000And West Virginia had a, I think, a 19% increase in population last year in 2025.
01:43:52.000Definitely, you know, the area could use more jobs, but these are all short-term jobs.
01:43:58.000You know, these construction jobs are short-term.
01:44:01.000We're going to go to your Rumble Rance and Super Chat.
01:46:42.000Let's see what we got going on here with some of these super chits.
01:46:46.000Let's grab some messages from the people.
01:46:49.000Marushio says Trump basically walked onto the set of hoarders trying to fix 40 years of a mess in only two years, but people are blackpilling that he didn't fix it all in two weeks and complaining that he's throwing stuff out.
01:47:00.000I mean, there are people that didn't want him to go to war.
01:47:03.000They voted for him thinking, I mean, this is why the theory that Trump was part of the machine the whole time gets a little bit more credence.
01:47:10.000Like he's going to war with Iran, you know?
01:47:15.000He's trying to get the petrodollar back on track.
01:47:17.000He got a whole bunch of people who thought he would not go to war with Iran in the Middle East to vote for him and then did.
01:47:26.000My attitude is kind of like, well, he's still done better on foreign policy than most presidents, actually all the presidents of my lifetime.
01:47:33.000And when people are like, but aren't you mad he started a war with Iran?
01:47:36.000And I was like, bro, every single president of my lifetime has started wars.
01:47:42.000So I can only be so disappointed in it.
01:47:45.000I'm just like, well, you know, at least there's some other good stuff happening.
01:47:48.000Yeah, it's like, I mean, the alternative, I mean, it's like a Biden-Kamala extension.
01:48:45.000A Kentucky family rejected $26 million to sell part of their farm for a data center, being offered about 10 times the going rate for farmland in the area.
01:51:33.000Rusha says, would you feel better about Iran if boots on the ground meant Israeli, Saudi, and Kurds with U.S. just giving air, sea, space, and cyber support?
01:51:43.000I actually think the TSA stuff, I think Congress lies and they go like, oh, no, we're having a political fight.
01:52:59.000I noticed a shift when Tucker got questioned about buying his house in Qatar, and he got flustered.
01:53:04.000And now seeing him want the United States to fall in the world stage after Biden ruined it.
01:53:08.000Again, it's people, wealthy elites, transferring their wealth out of the United States, expecting its collapse.
01:53:13.000Guys, I got to be honest, without people, is Tucker wrong?
01:53:17.000I mean, you could say his opinions are bad, but I mean, like, if it were true that Tucker was just transferring his wealth out of this country to foreign countries and advocating for them, knowing that in 10 years the country is going to collapse without children, do you blame him?
01:53:31.000He has repeatedly said that he would not leave the United States.
01:56:08.000Well, maybe the average American would really come to understand just how much they know that would make them a wizard in like medieval times.
01:56:17.000Like you go back to 1300 with your average understanding of things, your average American would end up being a wizard.
02:01:51.000Yeah, again, like I'm going to stress this.
02:01:52.000Basically, there are people in the area that have started making movements where locals have been saying, like, we're seeing a lot of people who live out here geared for deployment.
02:01:59.000So I'm not going to say which units those are, but I have a much different view of the military since it turns out my son is friends with kids in the ROTC.
02:02:37.000Like, they ordered bubble tea, and they would make it and put on the counter.
02:02:41.000And there's just like 17 teenage girls all standing there staring at the bubble tea, confused, not knowing, like, to go take their drink.
02:02:48.000And I'm sitting there, like, I am waiting for a drink for my family, and there's like a pile of bubble teas.
02:02:53.000And they're just like looking at it, and then one by one would walk up, look confused, and like take it and look at it and be like, and then put it back down and walk off.
02:02:59.000I'm like, did you not know what you ordered?
02:06:50.000And I can only hope that he is looking up in misery and regret and pain as he begins to suffer for eternity, this fucking piece of human shit.
02:10:07.000And like all these young girls that think they're going to get rich and then sell their bodies but make no money and then destroy their lives permanently.
02:11:32.000When we look at where it could go, I've been monitoring the situation ultimately, so I'm just wondering if there's no negotiation, where does it go?
02:11:45.000Do we think the Iranian people will rise up armed and supported by Israelis and U.S. with air power?
02:11:51.000They're going to overthrow the regime when called to do so by Trump and the Crown Prince.
02:11:57.000Or are we just, you know, and with this, we're going to send 3,000 guys to occupy some islands, right?
02:12:03.000Like, is the government going to collapse or will Trump simply taco and none of this happens?
02:12:32.000I think the goal here, and I think what we're on track for right now is regime stays in place, heavily neutered, moderated, willing to talk.
02:12:42.000I mean, Talib's point, we have killed a lot of those officials that would be capable of doing that.
02:12:46.000But again, I do think that might have been out of our hands and we still will eventually find stability.
02:12:53.000I think the stability is possible in the next few weeks.
02:12:58.000Stability in that we back off and then they start recuperating.
02:13:02.000And maybe it's just a mowing the lawn scenario where they want to flatten as much as possible, send them back 10 years and then go back to the drawing board.
02:13:08.000Mowing the lawn in the sense of regular maintenance in the sense that we bomb every six months.
02:13:11.000Mowing the lawn is a reference to Israel bombing Gaza.
02:13:36.000Yeah, if that was intel given to him, that was terrible intel because what we've seen following the bombings is on the streets of Tehran, it's been pro-regime protesters.
02:13:44.000And that was just a horrible miscalculation if that was actually real intel.
02:13:49.000I guess because we had seen the protests in the lead up to the strikes that would end up.
02:13:52.000The propaganda regime was on its legs.
02:13:56.000They're going to take all the videos of BLM protests and anti-ICE protests, tell the world that the American people are rising up and that Trump killed two American citizens.
02:14:03.000And then if they actually started attacking us, most people would be pro-America.
02:14:07.000And they'd be like, oh, what's happening?
02:14:13.000I think the reality is quite a bit darker because, you know, I don't think a regime that censors information the way that they do and recently killed, you know, a debatable, ultimately, amount of people.
02:14:26.000I don't think that they, you know, have even a plurality of support in the country.
02:14:30.000But even assuming that they did, the reality is that the country is very polarized in what they actually want.
02:14:38.000And you're not going to have us welcome with open arms, but also you're not going to have people throwing themselves on the bayonets of Americans to save this country.
02:14:48.000I think that a Syrian-style collapse is the most likely scenario.
02:14:57.000Yes, but if there are infrastructure destructions such as the water supply and all these other things, you know, like that's where that sort of thing starts looking much more likely, I think.
02:15:08.000I mean, the country is just a lot of people.
02:15:32.000But I think Trump ultimately has been sort of captured by the wing of the foreign policy establishment that believes that they can install the prince, basically.
02:15:43.000And ultimately, I have been on Telegram quite a bit.
02:15:45.000I think there are a lot of defections and things like that, but ultimately it's impossible.
02:15:51.000It's impossible to see any internal metrics.
02:15:55.000And so I really do think the Syrian-style internal collapse is the most likely personally.
02:16:01.000I don't think Trump is going to taco, though, because the five-day window he gave coincides with when the Marines are going to arrive.
02:16:08.000So, I mean, like, that just gives you options, quite obviously.
02:16:10.000But that's anyway, that's just my two cents, you know.
02:17:21.000I hope after your time in Texas, Austin treated you well.
02:17:26.000You know, I'm going to be as generous as I possibly can.
02:17:29.000And before I get to my question, let the Mehic, I hope I'm saying that right, steelman your position on H-1Bs, and then I'll get to everything.
02:17:40.000So I've actually practiced immigration law, and I'll tell you that it's what drove me out of practicing immigration law.
02:17:48.000I routinely found that companies would post positions that would lure foreigners from China and India at the lowest Department of Labor number that they could possibly get that most Americans wouldn't want.
02:18:04.000So let's just say it's an engineer and we should be paying at that time $150,000.
02:18:09.000They would post the job for $70,000 or $65,000, just lowball, lowest number to get foreigners to come here.
02:18:16.000And for a long time, I think it's been a scam and it's worked up until the point that we realized we've not only had labor shortages, but we've had a lot of Americans out of work.
02:18:28.000So, for me, and this is just my opinion, I think we should completely stop the immigration system.
02:18:34.000I think we should not be importing labor anymore until we figure out who's in our country, like completely lock it down.
02:18:41.000If you're in here with a green card, great.
02:18:43.000You don't get to be a U.S. citizen until we vet you.
02:18:46.000If you want to come here for a job, no thank you, because there's Americans that can't even afford to put food on their table today that are driving Ubers.
02:18:55.000I mean, I've talked to so many Uber drivers lately who will just drive me from the airport and I'm asking them what they do for a living.
02:19:02.000They have normal jobs, but they still can't afford their bills.
02:19:05.000So, I'm 100% against immigration until we figure out who's in our country, deport the illegals, deport the individuals that are trying to wreck havoc in our country, and then figure out what that talent shortage is and maybe open up an H-1B process that makes sense without letting countries like India and China take advantage of us.
02:19:27.000And I say this: being born in India, coming here legally, I know what this country offers.
02:19:33.000I think a lot of people do come here for the right reasons, but we have a lot of work to be done on that immigration front.
02:20:34.000Because if he were here, he'd be fucking listening to this and shaking his head just up and down, not in agreement with it, because it should just all be stopped at this point.
02:20:43.000There are at least, I know at least a dozen people with fucking computer science masters, this and that, who had good jobs.
02:20:52.000And they got laid off because some fucking H-1B came in and basically took their job for maybe two-thirds of the pay.
02:21:02.000I have a friend who used to work as a headhunter from Oracle or for Oracle, and he headhunted, you know, basically hiring people from India and other things.
02:21:11.000And what he found was as soon as they were in the company long enough, as soon as he got enough of them in a department, what would happen is eventually one of them would be hired as a manager because no one fucking understood what these guys were saying at work anymore.
02:21:24.000And then once they became the manager, they just hired nothing but people from there.
02:21:29.000And eventually they laid off the headhunting company because, well, why the fuck do you need a headhunter who can't speak Hindi or, you know, any of these other things?
02:21:39.000And so my question there, why do you think there's not anyone talented enough for these fucking jobs?
02:21:47.000I'm surprised he didn't have Sarah Gonzalez on and then with the other reporter because I believe Lisa is actually friends with these people.
02:21:54.000She's been investigating the fraud and I know you've been investigating fraud with immigrants.
02:21:58.000Why haven't you done more for the H-1B fraud in your investigations?
02:24:02.000India has nearly 4% of their entire GDP is remittances.
02:24:07.000Germany just signed a deal to actually bring in workers into Germany because they finally just fucking got tired of pulling in all the Muslims and everything for jobs at this point.
02:24:16.000Because their replacement rate is low enough.
02:24:34.000I think it's the economic policy of India to have people go and send money back home.
02:24:40.000That's why I'm picking out on this right now because I agree Somali is bad, but I mean, every week we have people trying to call in on this H-1B stuff.
02:24:48.000Look at all the trucker shit from last year.
02:26:09.000But no, I wanted to shout out that and get a shout out for Phil because I know he's, you know, I don't know if he's still in the hospital or what's not going, but he was talking to Josie or whatever on Twitter about it and sad to see that.
02:28:52.000In fact, they'll probably clap for me.
02:28:55.000Well, what I was actually asking was: do you think it's okay that we have courageous and great in this country that vote a particular way and then their votes get shut out by this white majority of the country?
02:29:09.000Oh, you're saying I'm being oppressed?
02:31:17.000That's like there's a movie called Gleaming the Cube, and it's a nonsense statement that they thought was a reference to skateboarding because some skateboarders said it randomly because skateboarders are probably on drugs.
02:31:26.000But it also kind of sounds like something Ian would just blurt out, assuming you would understand what he was saying.
02:31:31.000It's like you ever like do DMT and then you're like gleaming the cube.
02:31:42.000You can't find a good ungleamed cube anymore.
02:31:45.000You know, they have all been gleamed already.
02:31:47.000It means pushing your skills to the limits or life to the absolute edge.
02:31:53.000It originated in a thrasher interview where skater Gary Scott Davis asked someone if they had ever gleamed inside a cube, which was considered gibberish at the time.
02:36:52.000The joke is to mention any high prestige job.
02:36:55.000Like, what do you call a black man who runs a Fortune 500 company with a success, who has a family, three kids, and attends church every Sunday?
02:37:32.000There is one answer to every form of this joke.
02:37:36.000What do you call a black man who's an ultra-marathon runner, born a wealthy family, went to an Ivy League school, and also runs a successful law firm?
02:37:44.000Don't be distracted by the qualifications.
02:38:54.000That would have been bad if that wasn't it.
02:38:56.000It's a, there's a master peace song that starts out with a kid saying, like, what do you call a black man with three PhDs running down the street?
02:39:05.000Like, the joke is to constantly one-up the accolades and skills of this incredible man and then just insult him with a racial slurry.
02:42:19.000Because they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.
02:42:24.000So, the core of Polish jokes are that they're dumb and do dumb things.
02:42:28.000And the origin of this is that when people started to encounter Polish immigrants, they found them to be pretty stupid.
02:42:36.000Because after when World War II started with the German invasion of Poland and the Russians came in, the first things both Germany and Russia did was execute their thought leaders, their elites, their academics.
02:42:47.000So, all that was left was laborers and low-skill workers.
02:42:51.000So, basically, Poland, which has been around for a millennia, which had great and tremendous history and success, and very intelligent people, they were all massacred by the Germans and the Soviets.
02:43:02.000So, when they fled and came to the United States, it was just a big spattering of low-skill labor.
02:43:07.000And everyone was like, Man, these people are so dumb.
02:43:09.000And then basically made fun of them being stupid, but it was just because of genocide, which is the best joke of all.
02:43:15.000Yeah, you know, if you look on the bright side, you know, I mean, Poland's doing a lot better than everybody else now.
02:43:36.000You, being from Chicago as well, I am extremely embarrassed that you do not think that fennel belongs in sausage, which it absolutely does.
