Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Trump Has FIRED AG Pam Bondi, The PURGE Is Happening

00:02:22.000 Donald Trump has fired AG Pam Bondi, and there were rumors bubbling up in the Beltway, but it kind of hit pretty quick today when reporting came out that Trump was planning on firing her, and then sure enough, like half an hour later, yeah, she got fired.

00:02:36.000 She's going to be moving, of course, and Donald Trump has said she did a great job, and everyone's cheering for her, but on the surface, I think everyone's aware that her handling of the Epstein files has been pretty dang bad.

00:02:47.000 Now, we don't know exactly who's going to take over.

00:02:49.000 The rumor is Lee Zeldin, but everyone is clamoring, Harmie Dillon, because they want someone fierce who will actually get the job done, but Man, I don't know.

00:02:58.000 Forgive me if I might feel a little let down based on Trump's administration thus far.

00:03:02.000 But there are several other people that apparently may be on the chopping block Tulsi Gabbard, maybe Kash Patel.

00:03:08.000 Rumors are.

00:03:09.000 However, reporting is nah, these people are safe.

00:03:12.000 And it'd be pretty crazy for Trump to fire everybody.

00:03:14.000 But there is another resignation of someone who was working for the administration.

00:03:18.000 Plus, a whole lot more aliens, of course, are back in the news.

00:03:18.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:03:21.000 Because now you've got Rep Tim Burchett saying if the American people were given access to the briefings he's got on aliens, the country would come unglued.

00:03:30.000 Following what Matt Gaetz said about alien hybrid breeding programs, one would suspect that Congress has just plumb lost their minds, or aliens have been lording over us this whole time.

00:03:41.000 Maybe those conspiracy theories about shave chipping reptilians were correct.

00:03:45.000 Probably not, but it'd be fun anyway.

00:03:47.000 And of course, we've got this major Act Blue scandal where they may have been taking massive amounts of foreign donations for Democrats.

00:03:55.000 Can't say I'm surprised, but this one's massive, and it's going to have a big impact on the midterms.

00:04:00.000 We will see how it plays out.

00:04:02.000 Before we get started, my friends, I've got a great sponsor.

00:05:32.000 Those aren't devil horns.

00:05:33.000 No, these are like the chucks up.

00:05:33.000 What are those?

00:05:36.000 Do you ever see 13 Hours?

00:05:39.000 Maybe.

00:05:40.000 It was.

00:05:42.000 It's like a hang loose thing.

00:05:42.000 Yeah.

00:05:44.000 Well, let's jump into the news, the big story.

00:05:44.000 Anyways.

00:05:47.000 Trump has fired AG Pam Bondi and, okay, everybody's celebrating.

00:05:52.000 The rumors are that she was begging not to get fired.

00:05:56.000 Rumors are rumors, but I will tell you this, guys, in an era when like half, more than half of the conspiracies were proven correct, let me just say this.

00:06:06.000 I really doubt the official, like, can I just put it like this?

00:06:11.000 What is even the point of Trump being like, no, no, Pam is moving to a very important private sector job to be not soon?

00:06:19.000 Just say you fired her, dude.

00:06:20.000 We get it.

00:06:21.000 No one for a second genuinely believes this was an amicable departure where she got a brilliant private sector job.

00:06:28.000 Everybody knows the PR game is fake.

00:06:31.000 She got fired.

00:06:32.000 She mishandled the Epstein files.

00:06:34.000 Everybody's embarrassed.

00:06:36.000 She embarrassed a whole bunch of these right wing media personalities.

00:06:39.000 And Mike Cernovich was there and he was talking about how it wasn't an op, it wasn't a manipulation.

00:06:44.000 Like they genuinely were trying to bring people in and say, we're going to give you these files.

00:06:48.000 But Pam Bondi just did a really, really bad job embarrassing herself.

00:06:52.000 Donald Trump and all of these right wing personalities that showed up.

00:06:57.000 So, sure enough, finally, she's been fired.

00:07:00.000 And I wonder if the timing is due to trying to get in someone, maybe it's Lee Zeldin before the midterms.

00:07:06.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:07:07.000 Well, 12 days before the Epstein deposition that she was supposed to give, too, which it looks like she's still going to have to give, but it will be interesting to see what comes of that.

00:07:18.000 This could be really interesting because this is pretty wild.

00:07:21.000 She could now say, I don't know.

00:07:24.000 And she can say, Congressman, I was in the process of reviewing our files in preparation for this deposition, but since being terminated, I no longer had access and I have not prepared.

00:07:33.000 Yeah, I mean, she also gets super testy before Congress.

00:07:36.000 You ever watch her before Congress?

00:07:38.000 It's actually kind of fun.

00:07:39.000 It's embarrassing for her because she lets her temper get away with her, but, you know, we'll all for sure miss that.

00:07:47.000 Last year, she pulled out of an anti human trafficking conference and said, Oh, I'm sick, like at the last minute.

00:07:53.000 And it was very abrupt and just seemed very strange, the whole situation.

00:07:57.000 I don't know what she's like in person.

00:07:59.000 I don't know what Donald Trump saw in her to stand behind her for as long as he did.

00:08:03.000 I think that it's a good thing that she's leaving.

00:08:06.000 Hopefully, whoever he gets actually.

00:08:08.000 You know, pursues the things that the grassroots that elected Donald Trump were really concerned about, whether it be Epstein files.

00:08:16.000 I would like to see more activity on trying to arrest people that are involved with Antifa and leftists that did.

00:08:22.000 That would be great.

00:08:23.000 Yeah, that were violent.

00:08:24.000 You know, I think that that would be something that would make the base happy.

00:08:30.000 I think they'd like to see it.

00:08:32.000 But I don't think that a new AG, at least now, has enough time to do things to repair the damage before the midterms, which I think that.

00:08:40.000 I think this is probably what's going on.

00:08:42.000 But Trump, if he'd have done this last fall, he might have been able to do something that actually, you know, to stop the bleeding and repair the damage before the midterms.

00:08:51.000 Now, I don't know if he's got the time.

00:08:53.000 Six months is not a long time.

00:08:54.000 And if he keeps delivering speeches like the one that he did last night, which was so vague, it had very low energy, it didn't give any of the actual information that people wanted.

00:08:54.000 Not a lot of time.

00:09:04.000 It was just like, be patient.

00:09:06.000 I'm doing a war here.

00:09:07.000 World War II was longer, so chill out.

00:09:10.000 That was funny.

00:09:11.000 That was not a very effective speech in terms of, you know, What the base is looking for, or what the American people voted for.

00:09:18.000 Certainly not what I voted for.

00:09:19.000 I mean, one of the things that attracted me to Donald Trump was that he assured us all that he was not going to start new wars, that he was going to be a peace president.

00:09:27.000 And I feel like he betrayed the country by going into Iran at this point.

00:09:33.000 And yeah, in terms of Bondi, we already knew that she was the second choice.

00:09:37.000 I mean, Matt Gaetz was the first choice.

00:09:39.000 You're misremembering.

00:09:41.000 Trump was just going on and on about, we're going to invade, we're going to invade everywhere all the time.

00:09:45.000 And we were all on the show, yourself saying, yes, we support war.

00:09:49.000 I think if we go back and check the records, we will.

00:09:52.000 You were the most in favor of it.

00:09:54.000 You were screaming at Phil.

00:09:55.000 That is not, in fact, accurate.

00:09:56.000 She was using all kinds of slurs for people and all kinds of things.

00:10:00.000 I have a conspiracy theory, and it's that my conspiracy theory is that.

00:10:06.000 Trump knew things were getting bad.

00:10:09.000 He wanted to go into Iran.

00:10:10.000 Marco Rubio laid out why.

00:10:12.000 They knew it would sour all of the Trump admin individuals.

00:10:16.000 There are many people who have careers moving forward or could.

00:10:20.000 Tulsi Gabbard's not particularly old.

00:10:22.000 And so, if it is true, Tulsi Gabbard gets ousted.

00:10:26.000 I don't know that it is true.

00:10:27.000 They're denying it, I guess.

00:10:29.000 I wouldn't be surprised if right now the plan is what comes after MAGA, right?

00:10:34.000 Trump is going to be out and he's the personality.

00:10:38.000 So, how many of Trump supporters will get behind just Vance?

00:10:42.000 You'd probably expect a decent amount to break off.

00:10:45.000 So, I wouldn't be surprised if their PR campaign, their political strategy is Trump's souring among moderates.

00:10:52.000 Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn were just making fun of him.

00:10:54.000 So, Trump fires a bunch of people, becomes the villain on the way out, and salvages the career of other individuals who may come back into other administrations.

00:11:04.000 We've already seen him, though, not be particularly concerned about the legacy of MAGA, though.

00:11:08.000 I mean, he says that.

00:11:10.000 He is MAGA.

00:11:11.000 He says that there is no MAGA without him.

00:11:13.000 So, anybody who comes.

00:11:15.000 My point.

00:11:15.000 Anybody who comes after him, like, even if he's the, like, what does he care?

00:11:15.000 Yeah.

00:11:19.000 You know?

00:11:20.000 Well, I think we're talking post MAGA, but, you know, remember, if Republicans lose the midterms, which quite honestly, it doesn't look that great for them right now, you know, we're going to find ourselves in another situation that it's just impeachment hoax and lawfare campaigns.

00:11:34.000 And so, really, that would put a stop to a chunk of MAGA right there.

00:11:39.000 Yeah.

00:11:40.000 You know, I think that there's something.

00:11:41.000 That's a good point.

00:11:42.000 So, there's something that we haven't even talked about.

00:11:43.000 Like, who can get, this is a bit of a, I'm not trying to derail the conversation, but who could actually get confirmed as AG?

00:11:52.000 Mark Wayne Mullen got confirmed for Dave Chappelle.

00:11:52.000 Exactly.

00:11:55.000 Yeah, they did that pretty quick, too.

00:11:57.000 I just, I'm not sure that the Senate is going to confirm anybody that's going to make the base happy.

00:12:03.000 Yeah.

00:12:04.000 But again, to my point, like, this is a shift into, I think Rubio's a candidate in 2028.

00:12:11.000 He has been outstanding.

00:12:13.000 He has really evolved from 10 years ago.

00:12:16.000 He's been calm, collected, not a culture warrior.

00:12:18.000 He's clearly articulated the Trump administration positions as it pertains to foreign policy, taking on a bunch of roles.

00:12:23.000 JD Vance has not done that.

00:12:24.000 I like JD Vance, but he's not done that.

00:12:27.000 I think they're preparing for Trump is going to go out and this MAGA culture war bravado is going to go with it.

00:12:33.000 Do you think he will be the next attorney general, too?

00:12:36.000 Margo Rubio?

00:12:37.000 No, I would love it if Harmite Dillon got that job, but Lee Zeldin, look, the rumors were that Bondi was going to get fired and that Lee Zeldin would take the job.

00:12:46.000 Sounds like they were right about half of it so far.

00:12:48.000 I bet they'd be right about the other half.

00:12:49.000 I mean, I voted for Zeldin when he was running for governor of New York.

00:12:53.000 I mean, he would have won had there not been that exodus from New York because of COVID crisis.

00:12:58.000 Right.

00:12:59.000 There was like 500,000 people who moved to Florida, basically.

00:13:03.000 Yeah, it will be interesting to see.

00:13:07.000 I think that it is such a fascinating question.

00:13:09.000 Is there MAGA without Trump?

00:13:11.000 Is there a coalition without Trump?

00:13:14.000 You know, one thing that we saw after Charlie Kirk was murdered was a complete fracturing, and that was.

00:13:21.000 You know, I mean, in retrospect, it wasn't surprising, but at the time and watching it happen, it was certainly kind of like, really, we're all going to go down with this now?

00:13:30.000 We're all going to just sink?

00:13:31.000 Well, look, what's your, what's, what is Libby short for?

00:13:36.000 Lib, Libard?

00:13:37.000 It's actually short for Elizabeth.

00:13:38.000 Ah, I knew that.

00:13:40.000 Listen, Elizabeth, you were a liberal.

00:13:40.000 Yeah.

00:13:44.000 And because the left went insane, I as well, we find ourselves in this coalition.

00:13:50.000 Right.

00:13:51.000 And now that we have war, Which is from like for many of us, it was the biggest issue.

00:13:57.000 I'm not so negative on Trump, I'm not so judgmental, and I don't flip on a dime.

00:14:02.000 But critical, I'm hoping Trump wins.

00:14:05.000 The future is not going to be like right now, moderates, as I mentioned, Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn were just ragging on Trump.

00:14:11.000 I mean, that is massive for the middle of the road independence or default libs that Rogan helped Trump get.

00:14:18.000 Right.

00:14:19.000 And RFK Jr. as well.

00:14:21.000 I am hoping that the rumors about a future being like a Tulsi Gabbard versus Rubio in 2028, I wish that was the case.

00:14:30.000 And I know it's just Scuttlebutt.

00:14:32.000 Tulsi versus Rubio?

00:14:33.000 Yeah.

00:14:34.000 Just rumors are meaningless.

00:14:35.000 You know what I mean?

00:14:36.000 Like we're years away, it's an eternity until then.

00:14:39.000 But the rumors were when Kent got out that Tulsi would also be coming out.

00:14:44.000 She would be politely and honorably critical of the war with Iran, as she always has been, and present an anti Trump alternative that is not Trump derangement syndrome, that respects Trump admin personnel.

00:14:55.000 And then you can imagine a scenario where Tulsi Gabbard is debating Marco Rubio, saying, I worked with Marco, he's a great guy, he served its distinction, we just disagree on those issues.

00:15:04.000 And Rubio says, Tulsi, I appreciate it, you've been fantastic, but you were wrong.

00:15:09.000 And it tries to bring a more moderate, unified culture back to the United States.

00:15:14.000 Could you imagine a civilized political debate?

00:15:18.000 I mean, that would be absolutely unbelievable.

00:15:21.000 What's the point?

00:15:22.000 Amazing issues.

00:15:23.000 I would be into it because that's what we're missing we're missing that sort of situation where everybody agrees that their opponent has only the best interests of the country at heart and they just disagree on the best way to achieve the shared goals.

00:15:37.000 Just imagine, right?

00:15:38.000 That's the 1986 liberal dream.

00:15:40.000 You know, you've got you.

00:15:42.000 So, I'm very curious to see.

00:15:44.000 I've been harping on and on about forgive me, guys, for bringing myself into this, but somehow I find myself wrapped up in some of these stories.

00:15:50.000 These AI bot campaigns that try lumping me and Jack Posobic and Mylanopoulos with Tucker and Candace.

00:15:57.000 And the funny thing is, before these AI bot campaigns started popping up, and I don't know they're all AI bots, but there is this generic thread where it's like, I am done with Tim Pool, I am done with Milo, I am done with Jack Posobic.

00:16:09.000 Before those popped up, I said, The rumors were that there was going to be an anti interventionist Democrat moderate base.

00:16:17.000 I mean, let's just be real.

00:16:19.000 The idea was Tulsi Gabbard versus Rubio.

00:16:22.000 And these were the rumors when Joe Kent stepped out.

00:16:25.000 And I'm going to point out, I think I'm not supposed to talk about this kind of stuff.

00:16:30.000 And there's a lot of people in the know with access are probably very, very mad.

00:16:33.000 But they never explicitly said, Tim, don't tell anybody this is what's going on.

00:16:38.000 It may have been implied.

00:16:39.000 So, well, I apologize if that's the case.

00:16:41.000 But I don't think that's the case.

00:16:42.000 I just want to stress the rumors going around with that Joe Kent is not at odds with Trump, he is friends with Trump.

00:16:49.000 Leaving.

00:16:50.000 Like Trump pulled him out after he missed, like he tried to run for Congress, he didn't get there.

00:16:54.000 He's leaving, criticizing Trump, and becoming this conservative voice of anti interventionism.

00:17:00.000 Meaning, woke is out.

00:17:02.000 If Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Kent become prominent players as an alternative to Trump, representing moderates that started to take control in the Democratic Party, woke is completely iced out.

00:17:14.000 And you will get a Democratic Party, or perhaps just independents that shut out Democrats, you will get a Democrat or moderate party that say, Oh, we all agree child sex changes are crazy and abortion at the point of birth is nuts.

00:17:26.000 Nobody wants that.

00:17:27.000 This gun control is excessive.

00:17:28.000 And the alternative to Trump becomes something most Trump supporters would go, eh, okay.

00:17:34.000 You know what I mean?

00:17:35.000 Yeah.

00:17:36.000 What do you think, though, about sort of the low propensity issue that Republicans often face in the midterms?

00:17:41.000 You know, how do we overcome the Trump supporters who were just there to vote for Donald Trump?

00:17:47.000 When Trump leaves, this is the plan they're laying out where you split the Trump administration between the moderates.

00:17:47.000 That's the point.

00:17:54.000 And the conservatives, and now it doesn't matter because you own the board, you have both parties basically aligned with this one vision.

00:18:04.000 I think this is supported by a few things the massive money going into moderate Democrats across the board in primaries, crushing like Colbert teaming up with Tallarico to hoax people so that Jasmine Crockett gets booted out.

00:18:15.000 We saw how many squad members lost their primaries, and now none of the year remember when they were running puff pieces on Hassan Piker?

00:18:24.000 Now they're running hit.

00:18:25.000 Pieces and Democrats are refusing to be involved in events where he's present.

00:18:30.000 It is becoming very, very clear that woke and progressive left is politica non grata.

00:18:36.000 So I wonder again if these are just rumors.

00:18:40.000 I assume there's some truth to the rumors, and the people behind the scenes who are planning these politics are going, Tim, you're close, but pretty far.

00:18:47.000 The idea being there must be a plan in place for when Trump is out of office.

00:18:52.000 And you make a good point.

00:18:53.000 There are people who only show up for Trump.

00:18:56.000 So what do you do?

00:18:57.000 Control both sides of the coin.

00:18:59.000 That way, the progressive far left don't even have a foot to stand on.

00:19:02.000 Well, and then we get rid of the extremes on both sides.

00:19:05.000 We're back to something sort of where the crazy people are fringy and everybody else is just sort of middle of the road and we have forever wars forever.

00:19:16.000 That only lasts for maybe another, I mean, maybe another two presidential cycles because the young people look at people on the far left and far right as.

00:19:28.000 Ascendant.

00:19:29.000 They look to those voices and they're more likely to agree with people like Hassan Piker or like Nick Fuentes than they are with someone like Marco Rubio.

00:19:39.000 But they are young.

00:19:40.000 And so we were all.

00:19:43.000 What's up?

00:19:43.000 They age out?

00:19:44.000 You think they age out of that opinion?

00:19:45.000 Yes.

00:19:47.000 I think many of us, even in this room, were intemperate in our youth.

00:19:51.000 And perhaps when you get a little older, you calm the F down.

00:19:54.000 I think a big problem that we're facing now, especially when it comes to the threat of Islamification, is this new block of voters were born largely after 9 11.

00:20:03.000 And so they really haven't experienced a large scale magnitude of terror attack and that nature.

00:20:10.000 To those young people, the war on terror happened largely before they were born.

00:20:15.000 And that's just boomer slopped to them.

00:20:17.000 Yeah, you've got a good point.

00:20:18.000 Well, that's where we got Mandami too.

00:20:20.000 In New York, because I mean, you know, 25 years or nearly 25 years after 9 11, you have these young people getting behind this Islamist.

00:20:27.000 I'd put it like this Israel has no support among young people, it's minimal.

00:20:35.000 It's like, what is it, 30%, mostly leaning right.

00:20:39.000 I think Pew's research came out and said 54% negative perspective on Israel.

00:20:48.000 The U.S., the military industrial complex, and the machine that Trump is laying out.

00:20:55.000 Let me pause real quick.

00:20:56.000 You see that letter from the Iranian president where he said, This is not about Israel.

00:21:00.000 The US has been targeting us for a long time.

00:21:03.000 I don't think Iran comes to the defense of Israel willy nilly.

00:21:09.000 I think the truth is the military industrial complex tolerates a lot of Israel's whims because we do have an alignment in this region.

00:21:16.000 And that means that the deep state, the machine state, is not going to tolerate a generation of people that do not support our operations in the Middle East.

00:21:25.000 When you take a look at the 2000s, Anti war voices did not exist in the corporate press.

00:21:31.000 They very much want to go back to this position where, again, it's perfect.

00:21:36.000 You've got a Tulsi Gabbard base that are, with all due respect to Trump and Marco, who I think are good and honest people, I don't think this was the right play, as opposed to, with all due respect to Dave Smith, Dave Smith.

00:21:49.000 Right.

00:21:50.000 The machine state does not want a Dave Smith coming out saying, F your war, F your lies.

00:21:55.000 They want a candidate who says, I understand but disagree, meaning, as you pointed out, we have.

00:22:02.000 Amicable discourse with permanent forever wars, forever, forever wars.

00:22:07.000 Well, imagine if you've got.

00:22:08.000 Well, I don't know if I agree with this war in the Middle East, but you know, you won an election and then you have, we have wars in the Middle East.

00:22:15.000 No longer will there be the staunch never, never, never or Israel, Israel, Israel.

00:22:20.000 Because the idea is to push those people far into the fringes.

00:22:20.000 Right.

00:22:23.000 Indeed.

00:22:24.000 So that they could go back to the situation of like, you know, George Bush versus Al Gore, two candidates who both would have ended up going into Afghanistan.

00:22:34.000 You know, Obama, George Bush both ended up going into Afghanistan.

00:22:37.000 So, wait, McCain, you're right.

00:22:38.000 So, wait, McCain, you're right.

00:22:40.000 Just for clarity, are you.

00:22:41.000 Of the opinion that we should not have gone into Afghanistan after 9 11?

00:22:44.000 I don't, you know.

00:22:46.000 We should not have gone into Afghanistan.

00:22:48.000 I think based on the results of what happened in Afghanistan, I think we fouled it up really pretty badly.

00:22:55.000 And if you had looked at the history of wars in Afghanistan, Russia can't, no one can win wars in Afghanistan.

00:23:01.000 There's no point in that.

00:23:02.000 So I think the women of Afghanistan are far worse off than ever before.

00:23:07.000 The we shouldn't have gone into Afghanistan is a very popular opinion nowadays, and it's because.

00:23:13.000 I think it's because of the fact that we were in Afghanistan for 20 years.

00:23:16.000 If we had gone in, hold on, hold on, hold on, let me finish.

00:23:20.000 If we had gone into Afghanistan and done what we did up until May of 2011, and on May 7th of 2011, picked up shop and left, that's just days after Gothic Serpent, that's just days after they went into Pakistan and got bin Laden.

00:23:36.000 If they'd have just picked, they said, okay, mission accomplished, we're out of here, and left, right?

00:23:43.000 That would have had a totally different perspective on the war in Afghanistan.

00:23:47.000 Yeah, it's always going to be different if we win, but we keep not winning.

00:23:54.000 That's because it's a political issue.

00:23:55.000 Sure, sure, sure.

00:23:57.000 I mean, I was talking to a columnist today who was going on about like Trump should just say we win in Iran and leave.

00:24:04.000 Just say we win as though, like, saying we win and winning are the exact same thing because we're in a post structuralist political age.

00:24:11.000 If we had gone into, but the point that I'm making is going into Afghanistan after September 11th was not the folly.

00:24:18.000 The folly was staying in Afghanistan for 20 years.

00:24:22.000 I mean, Obama campaigned on we're going to go even harder into Afghanistan and make everything.

00:24:22.000 Sure.

00:24:26.000 And it was amazing how many people were like, he's going to end the wars.

00:24:29.000 Right.

00:24:30.000 Like, that's not true.

00:24:31.000 And now, having voted for Trump, believing he was going to not start wars, I know exactly how those people felt.

00:24:36.000 I, uh, Yeah.

00:24:37.000 This was a formative moment in my life because I voted for Obama.

00:24:39.000 I did not vote for Obama.

00:24:40.000 And it was because of Afghanistan.

00:24:42.000 No, I voted for him because, as much as I knew, he had campaigned on surging troops.

00:24:49.000 It was in an effort to bring in some of the troops, security objectives, and then you can get out.

00:24:55.000 Meaning, like a Chinese finger trap, you can't keep pulling.

00:24:58.000 You've got to give a little so you can release.

00:25:00.000 And the narrative, especially in Chicago, was he's saying that to get the votes.

00:25:06.000 And then I remember it was like.

00:25:06.000 He's going to.

00:25:09.000 The end of January was like three days into his presidency, and he bombed a village killing women and children.

00:25:13.000 Or I should say, he signed on to a strike.

00:25:17.000 The military was obviously already operating in the region, and he signed on to a drone strike that killed something like 20 plus women and children.

00:25:25.000 And then I was like, wow.

00:25:29.000 And I think, how old was I at the time?

00:25:30.000 I would have been just like 20, I think, when he got in, about to turn 21.

00:25:34.000 And then I was just like, yeah, I should have known better.

00:25:37.000 Like, I've known enough from watching The Simpsons, you know what I mean?

00:25:41.000 That you can't trust these.

00:25:42.000 These things.

00:25:43.000 But I was being screamed at that Obama was different.

00:25:45.000 You don't understand.

00:25:46.000 We finally did it.

00:25:47.000 We finally got a real outsider in.

00:25:49.000 And he was anything but an outsider.

00:25:51.000 Yeah, he was an ultimate insider.

00:25:53.000 And I think that's what people, I think that's what the political class wants.

00:25:57.000 They want more insiders.

00:25:58.000 They want to get rid of the fringes entirely.

00:26:00.000 They'd be happy to get rid of Piker.

00:26:02.000 They'd be happy to get rid of, you know, Trump.

00:26:06.000 They'd be happy to get rid of everything on the edges.

00:26:09.000 I mean, and I just have to say, I've always supported Middle Eastern interventions and war in Iran.

00:26:14.000 And Think that Lockheed Martin, Halliburton, for all their contracts in the Middle East and the construction they were doing, has been a blessing for this country.

00:26:23.000 And I, for one, welcome our new pro war overlords.

00:26:28.000 In other words, pick me.

00:26:30.000 The ultimate media pick me.

00:26:33.000 No, we'll see, because as I've already been mentioning, which is funny, I was talking to Jeremy Hambly of The Quartering, and I'd been saying on the show for quite a bit that the effort right now is the media companies are going to start buying out podcasts.

00:26:48.000 Where they are going to cut off the fringes and heavily promote the middle ground.

00:26:56.000 And you know what?

00:26:58.000 I hope it's a genuine effort.

00:27:01.000 I fear it's not because we've all been, you know, we all suffer from post censorship stress disorder.

00:27:07.000 But the idea is this.

00:27:10.000 Let me ask you guys first, I think we all agree if powerful megastructures and billionaires intend to isolate political opinions so that only those who bend the knee to the machine are allowed to speak, that's a bad thing.

00:27:24.000 However, I ask you guys this if millionaires and billionaires and big networks Buy into shows for the effort of propping up genuine conversation, respecting the speech and opinions of these shows, but trying to promote conversations that are respectable, thus having the effect of icing out the fringes.

00:27:47.000 Would that be a good thing?

00:27:49.000 I don't think the second thing is.

00:27:51.000 I think that the corporations that would be doing the buying would tell themselves the second thing, but would actually still just keep doing the first thing.

00:27:57.000 Sure, sure, sure.

00:27:58.000 But that's not my question.

00:27:59.000 My question is if the effect of whatever the intention is, is that genuine conversations, honest thought prevail, are lifted up through promotion and access, and the fringes do their things, but eventually fall to the wayside, would that be a good thing or a bad thing?

00:28:14.000 I think it would be a great thing, but I just am sort of weary of trusting that concept in the sense that.

00:28:19.000 Well, we all agree.

00:28:20.000 That was my point about the two scenarios.

00:28:23.000 I don't trust corporations that had giant syringes dancing around.

00:28:28.000 I'm just saying that, like the pipe dream, it would be beautiful if the mainstream prominent conversations in this country had conservatives and liberals enjoying a beer together and debating the minutiae of tax policy as opposed to throwing Molotovs at each other.

00:28:44.000 Well, more importantly, leftists throwing Molotovs at conservatives.

00:28:47.000 You know what would happen?

00:28:49.000 What was that thing where the CIA infiltrated all of the media?

00:28:54.000 Well, was that Mockingbird?

00:28:55.000 Yeah, Mockingbird.

00:28:56.000 So I think that never ended.

00:28:58.000 No, well, but I think that one thing that we had during the Mockingbird era, if you will, is we had a shared information network so that everyone was getting the same news and everyone was able to talk to each other about the same news.

00:28:58.000 Come on.

00:29:15.000 I mean, now we're in a situation where just as someone curating news for readers and trying to figure out what's out there, there's no clear news cycle at all.

00:29:24.000 It's entirely fragmented.

00:29:26.000 And a shared culture is useful.

00:29:29.000 I'm going to say it right now.

00:29:30.000 You'd be lied to the whole time anyway.

00:29:32.000 Like, can we ever go back to something?

00:29:34.000 I'm going to say this right now, and I know Phil's going to agree with me on this one.

00:29:37.000 If the powers that be intentionally spent money to eliminate the speech of gay communists and prop up everybody else, we'd all be happy.

00:29:45.000 W. Like, if there's a billionaire who's like, I'm going to invest money in a media apparatus that promotes everybody except the wackaloon gay communists, we're all happy.

00:29:57.000 Well, that's why CBS is getting in trouble now.

00:30:00.000 They're getting in trouble.

00:30:01.000 Well, everyone yells at CBS as like chills and blah, blah, blah.

00:30:04.000 They want to get rid of the gay communists.

00:30:05.000 Get rid of the gay communists.

00:30:07.000 Now, gay is okay.

00:30:08.000 Barry Weiss is gay married.

00:30:09.000 It's just the communism they want to get rid of.

00:30:11.000 The commie part is bad.

00:30:11.000 The commie part is the bad part.

00:30:13.000 But by getting rid of the commies, we would also get rid of the extremist Islamists.

00:30:16.000 Yeah.

00:30:16.000 So that would be a win as well.

00:30:18.000 You know?

00:30:20.000 I honestly like, I think of a time when we had unified culture.

00:30:26.000 Like we've been joking about how the 90s were so great.

00:30:29.000 And one theme of this show as it pertains to the culture war is how.

00:30:34.000 You can go into a bar, go to the jukebox and put on Bohemian Rhapsody, and it doesn't matter who they are, even immigrants, they will sing that song.

00:30:43.000 I went into a bar and there's some black people, there's some Latinos.

00:30:47.000 We put on Bohemian Rhapsody and everybody is singing together.

00:30:50.000 And I'm like, isn't that supposed to be the liberal dream?

00:30:53.000 But then you put on modern music and everyone breaks.

00:30:56.000 Well, because no one even has heard it and it's bad sounding.

00:30:59.000 It's bad.

00:31:00.000 Yeah.

00:31:01.000 And sounding indeed.

00:31:03.000 Yep.

00:31:04.000 You could do that also with Don't Stop Believing.

00:31:07.000 Yeah.

00:31:08.000 And I gotta say, I knew myself, if there had been any doubt, I knew my son was a white kid when at about five years old, he told me Don't Stop Believing was his favorite song.

00:31:17.000 Yeah.

00:31:17.000 Good for him.

00:31:18.000 It is a great song.

00:31:19.000 We played it all the time.

00:31:20.000 All American song.

00:31:21.000 We need to bring back all American music.

00:31:22.000 Yeah.

00:31:23.000 There's this viral clip from, what's that show where the three judges can press a button for an X and use it?

00:31:31.000 It's like a T. America's Got Talent?

00:31:32.000 Is that what it is?

00:31:33.000 It might be X Factor.

00:31:34.000 Yeah.

00:31:35.000 All I know is there's a clip from one of those shows.

00:31:36.000 It might be America's Got Talent.

00:31:38.000 Where.

00:31:39.000 The two women don't actually play a song.

00:31:41.000 They just tell the crowd to go da, And then they're like, okay, what's this?

00:31:47.000 And then Simon Cowell's like, it's Africa.

00:31:51.000 And then the whole audience is singing Africa and they've got the different harmonies and the lyrics going because everyone knows that song.

00:32:00.000 I would love that.

00:32:02.000 I would love a unified culture.

00:32:04.000 And I think that's the point of the culture war.

00:32:06.000 So that's why I say, as much as there will be a bunch of libertarians and middle of the road libs, Who are like, it is wrong to censor.

00:32:14.000 I'd be like, you know, if it's just the Marxists who get censored, I don't care.

00:32:18.000 Like, if liberals, conservatives, libertarians, moderates are all debating, but the wackaloons are just outside looking through the window, I don't care.

00:32:26.000 I would, go ahead.

00:32:27.000 I would love to see them also bring this into like the theater industry too, like take back Broadway and live theater.

00:32:33.000 Indeed.

00:32:34.000 Let's, let's jump to this story, which is, uh, in line with what we're talking about.

00:32:36.000 This is from Mediaite.

00:32:37.000 Hassan Piker is the left's Candace Owens.

00:32:40.000 The press treats him like a rock star.

00:32:42.000 Well, you're the press, Mediaite.

00:32:44.000 And so, no, not anymore.

00:32:46.000 Democrats have basically said Hassan Piker is persona non grata.

00:32:50.000 While they were once running puff pieces, like Mediaite is pointing out, something shifted.

00:32:55.000 And now prominent Democrats think he's toxic and are trying to avoid him.

00:33:00.000 It may have something to do with him saying that we deserve 9-11.

00:33:04.000 Yeah, or that babies are settlers.

00:33:04.000 Indeed.

00:33:06.000 Babies are settlers.

00:33:10.000 I really have to point this out.

00:33:12.000 Okay.

00:33:13.000 You don't have to like Israel.

00:33:14.000 Like, you are allowed to say Israel bad all day.

00:33:17.000 But it is shockingly egregious when you mention that violence, when your opinion is that violence against settlers in the West Bank is self defense, and then you go on to say, and the babies are settlers too.

00:33:31.000 That's when everyone's like, bro.

00:33:31.000 Yeah.

00:33:34.000 I was already iffy on your first statement.

00:33:36.000 Like, obviously, if someone comes in to rob your house or take your land with a gun, we are like, okay, now we got a problem.

00:33:42.000 But then when you justify going into the home and shooting a baby, it's like, bro.

00:33:49.000 And I think he's gotten a pass for a long time.

00:33:52.000 Here's what I think I think Democrats were thinking, I think the Uniparty didn't know how to handle the populist uprising on the left and the right.

00:34:00.000 And I think after Joe Rogan got behind Trump, they went, okay, guys, wokes cooked.

00:34:06.000 Like, we can't run on this brand.

00:34:08.000 It doesn't mean they want to get away from it.

00:34:09.000 Like, we were saying, censorship and all this stuff will come back if Democrats win.

00:34:14.000 But I wonder now if they're just saying we have to.

00:34:17.000 Well, actually, no.

00:34:18.000 They're literally saying it.

00:34:19.000 Democrats are saying they need a straight white Christian man who's going to run in 2028.

00:34:23.000 They're saying that because they're racist.

00:34:25.000 I mean, the Democrats are so racist that they think they cannot win unless they run a straight white man.

00:34:31.000 I mean, take like the school issue alone.

00:34:33.000 I mean, what they're teaching kids, like, you can't believe in God.

00:34:38.000 You're.

00:34:38.000 Evil if you're white, these privilege tests that Charlie Kirk would talk about all the time, that whole ecosystem is coming back to completely bite them in the butt because these kids have over radicalized to the point that they actually are dividing the Democrat Party because they would rather have the AOCs and Zoran Mandamis than the Gavin Newsomes.

00:34:58.000 And the Democrats are like, oh, shoot, we went too far.

00:35:01.000 Yeah, I mean, Gavin Newsom isn't a radical, but he's a shill for whoever's paying his bills.

00:35:05.000 Untrustworthy, though.

00:35:07.000 And he's also terrible for the state, too.

00:35:11.000 Terrible.

00:35:11.000 I mean, I haven't really dug into it.

00:35:13.000 He's not an extremist.

00:35:14.000 He's just an opportunist.

00:35:15.000 That's sort of like the standard Democrat.

00:35:19.000 I mean, I think when you're dealing with politicians or with most of the Democrat politicians, yes, I agree.

00:35:25.000 But I mean, you know, Clyburn's still the guy that's kind of the kingmaker in the Democrat Party, right?

00:35:29.000 If Clyburn says you're the guy, then you're going to be the guy.

00:35:31.000 And Clyburn is looking at all of these people like Hassan Piker and all of the far leftists, and I don't think that he's going to get behind them at all.

00:35:39.000 That being said, this is something that we talked about for the past year, at least, probably a year and a half since the election of Donald Trump.

00:35:46.000 Is there a civil war that's going on and that has been going on in the Democrat Party between the progressives, the communists, the DSA aligned wing of the party, and the normal Democrats?

00:36:00.000 I think that at the end of the day, the normal Democrats will end up doing what Spanberger has done in Virginia.

00:36:08.000 They'll go ahead and they'll say that they're.

00:36:11.000 Moderate, they'll say that they're middle of the road so that way they can get the money from the big donors, but then they'll rubber stamp whatever policy the progressives can get put into place.

00:36:22.000 The reason is because you're not going to get the big donations from the big donors if you're campaigning on we have to have a wealth tax, we have to have a tax on your net wealth.

00:36:34.000 You're not going to get those donors to give you big checks.

00:36:37.000 They're not going to write big checks to the PACs.

00:36:39.000 You're going to have to do small donations, and there probably isn't enough money.

00:36:43.000 That will come into your campaign to actually win.

00:36:46.000 Well, Washington just put in place a wealth tax, just as Oracle and Meta slashed like thousands of jobs.

00:36:53.000 They actually implemented it?

00:36:54.000 I thought there was an income tax.

00:36:57.000 I think they signed something.

00:36:58.000 They signed the income tax and like right before the Starbucks guy dipped.

00:37:02.000 Right, right, right.

00:37:03.000 Yeah.

00:37:03.000 Starbucks went to.

00:37:04.000 No, no, I think it was a wealth based, it was a high progressive income tax.

00:37:07.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:37:08.000 It wasn't a tax on wealth.

00:37:11.000 Well, it was, but it's not the.

00:37:13.000 They just have a 9.9% income tax on earnings over $1 million per year.

00:37:17.000 That's in.

00:37:18.000 That's.

00:37:18.000 Right.

00:37:19.000 Yeah.

00:37:19.000 And look, I mean, rich people are just going to leave.

00:37:21.000 Well, and rich people are leaving Washington.

00:37:23.000 And Newsom is talking about a wealth tax.

00:37:25.000 And so rich people are talking about leaving California.

00:37:28.000 Not only that, but.

00:37:28.000 And that's Mamdani pushing it on Kathy Hochul, trying to extort Hochul.

00:37:31.000 You've got.

00:37:32.000 And Hochul was already like, hey, maybe we should just tell the rich people to come back to New York.

00:37:36.000 And meanwhile, Mamdani's going out there going, my plan, tax the rich.

00:37:40.000 And you've got Ro Khanna.

00:37:41.000 And you've got Ro Khanna.

00:37:43.000 You've got Roe Khanna and Bernie Sanders talking about that one federally.

00:37:47.000 That's going to be a problem for the Democrat Party.

00:37:49.000 That's going to be a big problem.

00:37:50.000 On the flip side, in Florida, you have the state considering getting rid of property tax.

00:37:55.000 So it's just going to be everybody.

00:37:59.000 It's their principal tax driver.

00:38:00.000 It's on the ballot in 2020.

00:38:02.000 Property tax is the thing.

00:38:03.000 Find some property in Florida.

00:38:04.000 If you buy land, then it's not even yours.

00:38:07.000 It somehow still belongs to the government.

00:38:08.000 What'd you say, Tim?

00:38:09.000 Let's go find some property in Florida.

00:38:11.000 I mean.

00:38:13.000 Anyways, I like Florida personally.

00:38:15.000 But, anyways, but yeah, look, the point that I'm making is the people that have money that have historically given to Democrats and to Democrat causes, they're not going to give to the progressives, people like Hassan Piker, people like the squad.

00:38:30.000 You saw a slew of very progressive candidates in Illinois get trounced.

00:38:36.000 Because the American people.

00:38:36.000 Yeah.

00:38:38.000 Or the Gosselie or whatever.

00:38:39.000 The American people do not like these policies.

00:38:39.000 Yeah.

00:38:43.000 There is a small vocal minority that.

00:38:46.000 Is motivated by hatred of people that have done better than them, that think that the world is worse off because of billionaires, think that the reason that their life is not as good as they believe it should be is because some billionaire somewhere has stolen money or whatever crazy person BS they imagine.

00:39:04.000 Well, part of the thing, too, is that all of the people who are like tax the rich, they imagine that Americans are out there believing that they're going to be poor forever.

00:39:13.000 And part of being American is imagining that someday you too could be rich.

00:39:17.000 Everybody is a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

00:39:19.000 And so that's.

00:39:20.000 That's part of it.

00:39:21.000 Like, you know, most Americans sit around and like go to work, hustle, and imagine when they can make their money and start, you know, whatever it is that they want to do with all their money.

00:39:32.000 But if you have this wealth tax, then what you're really saying is, why would I work really hard?

00:39:37.000 If I'm going to work really hard and get my money, I don't want to be taxed to death.

00:39:41.000 But they're manipulating, you know, a voting block of renters.

00:39:41.000 Yeah.

00:39:45.000 Yes.

00:39:45.000 So that's the tricky part.

00:39:46.000 And they're saying everyone should be renters, right?

00:39:48.000 They want everyone to not just be renters, but renting from the government.

00:39:53.000 That was one of the big plays with COVID.

00:39:55.000 Was it de Blasio?

00:39:57.000 He wanted to buy up New York buildings for pennies on the dollar after destroying their value through COVID lockdowns.

00:40:02.000 Yeah.

00:40:03.000 People are evil, man.

00:40:04.000 Yes.

00:40:05.000 That's a true thing.

00:40:06.000 Yeah.

00:40:08.000 I just don't think that these policies are going to be popular.

00:40:10.000 I don't think people like Hassan, I think it's good for the Democrats as a brand to try to push people like Hassan Piker away.

00:40:19.000 I saw Jacobin had written a piece on Piker and how the People in the Democrats are saying, yo, you got to get away from this guy and stuff.

00:40:26.000 And they're saying, oh, well, you know, they just don't understand him or whatever.

00:40:28.000 And it's like, no, they have a pretty good idea of what kind of policies this guy.

00:40:32.000 I mean, he's an anchor baby to start off with.

00:40:35.000 He was born in New Jersey, then he went to Turkey and rode horses on his family's, you know, because I think his uncle's a billionaire.

00:40:42.000 He's rich.

00:40:43.000 Yeah, super rich.

00:40:44.000 Aren't we just talking about his like $2,000 glasses or whatever?

00:40:44.000 Super rich.

00:40:47.000 Yeah, I mean, he's ridiculously rich.

00:40:50.000 He himself is rich, but his family's also rich.

00:40:52.000 So, like, he should be.

00:40:53.000 Generational wealth.

00:40:54.000 Yeah, he's in no position to talk about the things that he does.

00:40:58.000 But people like Hassan Piker that advocate violence, he said things like, the streets should run red with their capitalist blood.

00:41:07.000 He's made those kind of remarks.

00:41:09.000 He consistently makes remarks like that that are absolutely abhorrent, that are totally un American.

00:41:17.000 The U.S. deserved 9 11 and all kinds of things like he hates America, he's not proud of America.

00:41:23.000 The Democrat Party.

00:41:24.000 Needs to look at him like he is radioactive and push him as far away as possible.

00:41:28.000 Can I?

00:41:29.000 Because they're not going to, it's not going to be something that the American people are going to actually be drawn to.

00:41:35.000 I got a question.

00:41:36.000 Are there any podcasts that are pro war?

00:41:39.000 Pro war podcasts?

00:41:40.000 Are there any podcasts that take the approach of we needed to go into Iran and it was the right decision to make?

00:41:48.000 You know, I think Scott Jennings has a podcast and he's made that argument.

00:41:53.000 Big podcasts.

00:41:54.000 No disrespect to Scott Jennings.

00:41:55.000 But I mean, like, Of the top global podcasts.

00:41:55.000 Yeah.

00:41:57.000 I don't think so.

00:41:59.000 I think all of the top podcasts are staunchly anti war.

00:42:03.000 And this is what makes me wonder about the machinations of political elites.

00:42:08.000 You know, the Allison's buying CBS is a major power move.

00:42:11.000 And I think it was Aaron McIntyre who said, if you don't have political leaders willing to dump billions to pursue their cause, what hope?

00:42:19.000 Something like, then what hope do you have, right?

00:42:20.000 That's what I worry about with conservative culture.

00:42:23.000 That no one's willing to spend the money?

00:42:25.000 Yeah.

00:42:25.000 Well, I wonder if what we're seeing right now.

00:42:29.000 Here's what I can say The purchase of TikTok was completely about Israel.

00:42:35.000 Initially, the Republicans were like, this platform is biased against Democrats.

00:42:39.000 I'm sorry, biased against Republicans for Democrats.

00:42:42.000 I misspoke.

00:42:43.000 And we should ban it because of this.

00:42:45.000 And Democrats were like, no, that's ridiculous and insane.

00:42:48.000 Then October 7th happened and TikTok's algorithm flipped.

00:42:52.000 All of a sudden, it was promoting anti Israel content despite the fact Israel had just been attacked and people had been slaughtered.

00:42:59.000 All of a sudden, then Democrats got on board and were like, okay, maybe we should ban it.

00:43:02.000 Trump intervenes, and you see the master's stroke.

00:43:04.000 It's no, we're not going to ban it.

00:43:05.000 We're going to put a pause on this.

00:43:07.000 We're going to control it.

00:43:08.000 Then it gets purchased by US interests, and reportedly now the narrative is changing.

00:43:13.000 We had foreign.

00:43:14.000 You read the Osama bin Laden letter, right?

00:43:16.000 Exactly.

00:43:17.000 This is a degree of insanity.

00:43:18.000 You had people on TikTok being like, wow, I read Osama bin Laden letter, and you know.

00:43:22.000 It's like, no, no, you don't, you know.

00:43:26.000 He killed a bunch of Americans.

00:43:27.000 He organized these plots for a long time.

00:43:29.000 He was responsible for bombings at military bases.

00:43:32.000 This is.

00:43:33.000 Insane degree of propaganda.

00:43:35.000 So I wonder when I see the top podcasts all being staunchly anti war, in many ways anti America.

00:43:44.000 I say in many ways because I'm not going to play stupid games like they hate America, but they're very critical of the US foreign policy, as well as particularly anti Israel.

00:43:54.000 But then you don't see in media right now the same kind of fervent or maybe that's not the right word, but passionate investment into a media apparatus to Stop this kind of sentiment.

00:44:06.000 The reason why I ask about whether there are any big podcasts that are in favor of this war is because it seems interesting that you'll have the Ellisons purchasing principal stakes in TikTok as well as CBS.

00:44:20.000 But then on the audio side of distribution, it is complete Wild West or it's the complete other direction.

00:44:27.000 The question I then have is is it that Spotify and Apple and YouTube want to promote?

00:44:35.000 Anti war, anti establishment, anti America, and anti Israel content?

00:44:41.000 Or is it just that's what the Wild West is producing because there's massive international audiences that will prop it up?

00:44:48.000 I mean, honest question.

00:44:50.000 Could not the powerful interests of billions of dollars make YouTube and Spotify be like, suppress them?

00:44:57.000 We know YouTube does tiny room shadow bans and things of the sort.

00:45:00.000 Right.

00:45:00.000 In this instance, it seems they're promoting these ideas.

00:45:02.000 I mean, I feel like when it comes to YouTube, they're motivated by who's buying ads.

00:45:10.000 The whole apocalypse and stuff, that was because of the situation where they didn't want ads being played on what people considered objectionable media.

00:45:19.000 Are people buying ads on Erica Kirk content?

00:45:21.000 It's an honest question.

00:45:23.000 I have ads on YouTube.

00:45:24.000 I have been a Google advertiser for over a decade.

00:45:27.000 I have personalized specialists at Google who contact me as it pertains to ads.

00:45:33.000 And when you run advertisements, you select where those ads are going to appear.

00:45:39.000 And for some reason, there are advertisers choosing to run their ads on specifically Erica Kirk content.

00:45:47.000 Specifically Erica Kirk content.

00:45:48.000 Yes.

00:45:49.000 So there's RPM trackers.

00:45:54.000 Here's the easiest way to check this stuff without using a service.

00:45:56.000 Open up Grok or ChatGPT and say, provide for me the CPM or RPM for topics and subjects, genres on YouTube.

00:46:05.000 It'll give you a huge list.

00:46:07.000 Finance is usually number one at around $20.

00:46:09.000 Now, you don't get as many views on financial content.

00:46:13.000 Not many people are as interested in it.

00:46:15.000 But if you get 1,000 views on a video specifically about finance, you'll get 20 bucks.

00:46:20.000 If you get 1,000 views on a video about news, you'll get $5 to $8.

00:46:25.000 If you get a thousand views on a video about Erica Kirk, you'll get $20.

00:46:28.000 That makes no sense to me.

00:46:30.000 Yeah, why?

00:46:31.000 This would mean that their advertisers selecting, I want my ad.

00:46:36.000 It's like, imagine there's a toothpaste company being like, run my toothpaste on ads about Erica Kirk.

00:46:40.000 Yeah, why?

00:46:41.000 Now, it could be automatic.

00:46:41.000 That doesn't make sense.

00:46:44.000 One theory is that the algorithm updates itself based on the viewing patterns and then seeks to find the biggest return.

00:46:50.000 So the algorithm on Google Ads runs the ads across the board and finds a concentration in this area where they sell a lot.

00:46:58.000 And it just so happens for some reason to overlap with Erica Kirk content.

00:47:02.000 Either way, it is weird.

00:47:04.000 If it is emergent, it is very weird.

00:47:07.000 I honestly don't believe it is emergent because it's too specific.

00:47:12.000 Charlie Kirk is assassinated, and then a media campaign props up to destroy his wife.

00:47:17.000 So, you get the assassination of a man followed by the character assassination of his wife.

00:47:21.000 It just doesn't seem like an accident, you know?

00:47:25.000 I mean, we know big tech has meddled in our elections.

00:47:28.000 That's like a known fact.

00:47:29.000 So, I don't think it would be far fetched to say that they're, you know, seeking to destroy our society and our peace and patriotism.

00:47:37.000 And Turning Point was a major player in helping Donald Trump get elected.

00:47:42.000 And whatever you believe about the Charlie Kirk assassination aside, after the fact, I would not be surprised to find prominent leftists at Google and YouTube saying, Put your thumb on the scale against Erica Kirk.

00:47:54.000 We will make sure Turning Point is destroyed.

00:47:57.000 Look at what these people say behind the scenes.

00:48:00.000 Look at what they're willing to do in the streets.

00:48:01.000 Look at what their judges are willing to do.

00:48:04.000 Is it at all possible that there are people at YouTube who would look over their shoulder, look around, and then type in?

00:48:11.000 I mean, not only is it possible, I don't think that it's particularly far fetched either.

00:48:11.000 And that also.

00:48:16.000 I mean, you see the, like you said, you've seen all kinds of effort by the left to put their thumb on the scale anytime they get the chance to.

00:48:23.000 So, I don't think that it's some kind of ridiculous theory at all.

00:48:26.000 I can confirm YouTube has its thumb on the scale 100%, can confirm right now.

00:48:30.000 That's how I know.

00:48:32.000 Several months ago, YouTube granted me the handle at Tim Pool, which had been largely unused.

00:48:37.000 Some German guy wasn't using it, was sitting on it.

00:48:40.000 And so I said, okay.

00:48:42.000 So I made youtube.com slash at Tim Pool, where I put videos that I feel like making.

00:48:47.000 Some are political, some are very similar to what we do here.

00:48:49.000 And a lot of them in recent have been about gaming laws, Pokemon, Magic the Gathering.

00:48:53.000 And just if I have something to talk about that's unrelated, I'll put it there.

00:48:56.000 Well, something interesting happened.

00:48:58.000 There was a video that I did about a homeless woman grabbing a homeless woman.

00:49:02.000 You may have seen the viral video.

00:49:04.000 I got a copyright flag on it.

00:49:06.000 Well, it's fair use, outright fair use.

00:49:09.000 I am commenting specifically on the homeless issue from what these people in the video were doing, heavily criticizing them for doing it.

00:49:17.000 So I counter saying this is fair use, sue me.

00:49:21.000 They counter with we will give you a strike and you must remove the video.

00:49:25.000 Now, whoa.

00:49:28.000 I make these videos 15 times a day, and I've never gotten that one time on Timcast IRL, Timcast, or Timcast News.

00:49:37.000 So I can't even appeal it.

00:49:40.000 It says you will get a strike.

00:49:41.000 The video will be removed.

00:49:43.000 Then, when you sue them, you can submit the paperwork to YouTube to get the video, to get the strike put on hold or something.

00:49:51.000 And I'm like, what?

00:49:52.000 I've been on this platform for 16 years and never experienced this.

00:49:57.000 So I emailed my liaisons, my contacts at YouTube, and they said there's nothing we can do about it.

00:50:03.000 Well, sure enough, I contacted the copyright holder and the company, and they apologized.

00:50:08.000 First, they tried claiming it's not fair use.

00:50:10.000 Then I said, Come on, bro.

00:50:12.000 And they released it.

00:50:13.000 Then I asked YouTube this important question Why is it that on Timcast IRL, Timcast News, and Timcast, three channels all over a million, I have never once been flagged for copyright, despite making all of the exact same videos?

00:50:29.000 But this new channel, I've gotten flagged maybe 10 times already.

00:50:34.000 Already?

00:50:34.000 Really?

00:50:35.000 Wow.

00:50:36.000 In the matter of a few months, with only like 30 or 40 videos.

00:50:39.000 So that would mean one of two things.

00:50:42.000 There is a shield placed on this channel and others that prevent copyright claims from disrupting the show.

00:50:49.000 Perhaps it's a platform wide thing where if you have over a million subscribers, they default to, we're not going to let you take these videos down because they're established channels that typically know what they're doing.

00:50:58.000 This new channel has only around 87, 88,000 subs, so they're like, no protections for you.

00:51:04.000 There could be something else that is foul play.

00:51:08.000 There could be a restraint on these channels that acts as a de facto shield.

00:51:14.000 Somewhat inadvertently.

00:51:15.000 And this is what I submitted to Google.

00:51:17.000 I said, I can conclude one of two things.

00:51:19.000 I said, if you are shielding my main channels, either as an intentional thing personally for me or because YouTube has a protection for large channels, then I am grateful.

00:51:29.000 If, however, you have put a restraint on my channels that isolates it from the YouTube ecosystem, thus, copyright doesn't exit this bubble and enter our isolated sphere, well, now I'm mildly perturbed.

00:51:40.000 The argument I'm making is this YouTube, perhaps, Has the main YouTube body of prominent, well known shows they promote, and they have isolated off a mini YouTube that is a separate ecosystem that does not interact with the main body of work.

00:51:56.000 If you are on that main platform and you submit a copyright notice, the algorithm automatically attacks anything in that sphere that is using those videos, which captures my new channel, which was just made.

00:52:07.000 And the channels outside of it in the isolated shadow ban bubble will not be impacted, not on purpose, but because they are a detached node that YouTube is isolating intentionally.

00:52:17.000 That's pretty wild.

00:52:19.000 Which would explain why Candace Owens is propped up and recommended to new users who just signed up for YouTube and why people constantly complain why, even after watching the show every single night, It doesn't appear on even my channel page because it appears that there's what's called a tiny room shadow ban on this channel.

00:52:35.000 Or I'm completely wrong about everything, who knows?

00:52:38.000 I can only say this it is a fact that I have never, that in the past three years, we have not received any copyright claims on my principal channels, but the new channel is getting them like crazy.

00:52:48.000 Another theory would be that new channels have weights put on them to prevent new personalities from rising up and causing problems.

00:52:54.000 That's possible too.

00:52:55.000 Yeah.

00:52:56.000 I know when I want to watch the show, I have to go directly to the Timcast YouTube page.

00:53:02.000 Not only that, but people have complained that it's not there.

00:53:05.000 They'll go to YouTube page.

00:53:07.000 They'll go to youtube.com slash Timcast IRL, and we will be 10 minutes into the show, and it will not be on the page.

00:53:12.000 There's a difference between premium and regular YouTube?

00:53:15.000 Yeah, because I have premium, and every night I just refresh my homepage on YouTube, and we're always right there at the top left.

00:53:25.000 I think two things.

00:53:27.000 There are leftists at Google that have intentionally done illicit things.

00:53:32.000 To further advance their look, I mean, some of these people threaten with death.

00:53:36.000 It's not even that big of a deal that someone working at Google walks in a room, opens a computer, and then says, Shadow ban.

00:53:42.000 But I also think we know that intelligence agencies had access to Twitter and Facebook and were flagging for removal.

00:53:50.000 So I would not be surprised if it wasn't even that political.

00:53:53.000 It was just Google gets an email from the FBI saying, Put a weight on this channel.

00:53:57.000 And they go, Okay.

00:53:58.000 It's also this thing that happens when, like, you go live, you're supposed to have your little circle lights up.

00:54:03.000 Look at the ring around it.

00:54:04.000 We don't have that.

00:54:05.000 A lot of times people are always complaining about it.

00:54:09.000 That is weird.

00:54:09.000 Very strange.

00:54:10.000 Indeed.

00:54:12.000 Yep.

00:54:15.000 I think it makes sense that YouTube intentionally creates nodes.

00:54:19.000 There is the principal main body, which is Mr. Beast, will always be promoted to everyone everywhere.

00:54:25.000 And they probably go, We don't want recommendations going to channels like this one.

00:54:29.000 If people, but you can't ban outright, right?

00:54:31.000 We don't break the rules or anything, but you can't ban outright because it would create a massive PR storm.

00:54:35.000 So they say, Tiny Room Shadow Ban.

00:54:37.000 Create a node where only the people who already have accessed the channel can access it.

00:54:41.000 No new users will.

00:54:43.000 Anyone who signs up after this date will never see this channel.

00:54:47.000 Could be.

00:54:48.000 Could be.

00:54:49.000 I think so.

00:54:50.000 I do.

00:54:51.000 Let's jump to this next story from Mediaite.

00:54:53.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Burchett says America would become unglued if we got his alien briefings, pushes for public release anyway.

00:55:02.000 He was asked about Matt Gaetz's claim that the military briefed him on alien breeding programs where, well, I'm going to extrapolate from what he said women are kidnapped to be impregnated by aliens.

00:55:15.000 I just want to make something very clear.

00:55:16.000 Matt Gaetz stated in The Benny Show.

00:55:18.000 That he was briefed.

00:55:19.000 They're alien hybridization programs where people are captured from war zones and migrant caravans for alien hybrid breeding so that the alien hybrids can communicate between both species.

00:55:33.000 Well, the implication, of course, is that they're women because men don't need to be kidnapped in order to get their genetic material.

00:55:38.000 Women need to be held if they're going to provide their bodies for the creation of life.

00:55:38.000 No.

00:55:43.000 So it sounds like that's what he's saying.

00:55:45.000 Tim Burchett was asked about this and said, I can't comment because I'm still in Congress, but if America got the briefings that I got, It would become unglued.

00:55:55.000 Now, I want to show this from Space Weather News in response to this.

00:55:59.000 Native Patriot says new meteors in Costa Rica.

00:56:03.000 Is Space Force fighting a battle we're not allowed to know about?

00:56:06.000 What's actually going on?

00:56:07.000 Take a look at this video.

00:56:10.000 Wow.

00:56:12.000 Compañeros.

00:56:20.000 That's crazy, right?

00:56:21.000 Increíble.

00:56:22.000 Increíble.

00:56:23.000 Look at that.

00:56:24.000 Still going.

00:56:25.000 Hard to see here, but I'll go back to the beginning.

00:56:30.000 Wow.

00:56:31.000 Wow.

00:56:32.000 Look at that.

00:56:34.000 Even the dog's freaking out.

00:56:36.000 So here's space weather news.

00:56:39.000 Sun weatherman.

00:56:40.000 Guys, these are not meteors.

00:56:41.000 This is space debris or a type of landing craft we cannot fathom.

00:56:45.000 Not meteors.

00:56:45.000 Same story as last week.

00:56:47.000 We have seen an insane amount of.

00:56:51.000 Of media reports or lights in the sky or vehicles.

00:56:55.000 Owen Schroyer said he saw UFOs flying around.

00:56:59.000 One burst into flames and fell, and the other two sped off.

00:57:01.000 People tried claiming he was just looking at condensation trails.

00:57:05.000 It's like he didn't describe that.

00:57:06.000 Owen Schroyer knows what it is.

00:57:09.000 If you want to call it a chemtrail or contrail, the man knows exactly what those things are.

00:57:13.000 InfoWars has reported on those quite a bit.

00:57:15.000 He saw something else as he described it.

00:57:19.000 Something's going on.

00:57:20.000 Could it be that Artemis 2 is not actually a trip to the moon, but a delegation going to intercept the aliens for negotiations?

00:57:27.000 And they're hanging out on the other side of the moon, and that's why they have to go over there?

00:57:30.000 No, we're just claiming they're, but they're actually going to the Orbital Galactic Federation space.

00:57:34.000 So they needed a cover for why they're launching humans, and they're launching humans to go negotiate with the aliens who are fighting us.

00:57:42.000 What I think is the most amazing thing about all of the alien reveals that we've had over the past several years is that nobody's.

00:57:49.000 They coincide with Hunter Biden?

00:57:50.000 No, well, there was that too.

00:57:52.000 But no one seems to care.

00:57:54.000 Like, no one cares.

00:57:55.000 That's the conspiracy theory.

00:57:56.000 I don't buy it.

00:57:58.000 I feel like illegal aliens are more harm than actual aliens.

00:58:02.000 Well, that we know of.

00:58:04.000 That we know of.

00:58:05.000 You talk to people about it.

00:58:06.000 You're like, to your friends, did you hear about this thing?

00:58:09.000 That's the point, though.

00:58:10.000 The conspiracy is that when humans discovered aliens, they knew that if they brought aliens down to Earth, it would cause massive economic destabilization, panic, riots.

00:58:21.000 And so, over the past 15 or 20 years, they have been gradually introducing more and more information to the public.

00:58:27.000 That normalizes the existence of UFOs and aliens.

00:58:31.000 For example, we discussed the O'Hare UFO incident.

00:58:35.000 I had just left working at O'Hare two months prior and had friends who were there.

00:58:39.000 And I had a friend who was on Mannheim Road who said he got out, looked up, and saw the UFO hovering over the airport.

00:58:44.000 It's a well known incident, one of the most famous.

00:58:46.000 Could it be that that incident was intentionally done to create a brief glimpse in a small pocket of people and then leave so these stories of UFOs become normalized over 20 years?

00:58:56.000 And then by the time I'm.

00:58:58.000 I was 18 at the time.

00:58:59.000 Was I 18?

00:59:00.000 I might have been 20.

00:59:02.000 So, no, I was, was it?

00:59:02.000 2004.

00:59:05.000 It was 2006, right?

00:59:05.000 No, it was six.

00:59:06.000 Just 2006.

00:59:07.000 So now, 20 years later, I'm like, oh, yeah, I've heard tons about UFOs and aliens.

00:59:11.000 And so you're desensitized to when the aliens actually do come.

00:59:14.000 An entire generation of people are like, yeah, yeah, yeah, we know this.

00:59:17.000 We know already.

00:59:18.000 So that people, so that it's intentionally done, so that people are softened to the idea that there's aliens.

00:59:24.000 And then the next thing you know, there's like, you know, Klingons walking among us or whatever.

00:59:28.000 So I imagine one way they do it is right.

00:59:31.000 If I was working in government intelligence and they said, we need to, how do we introduce the idea of extraterrestrial life to humans who believe we're mostly or likely alone?

00:59:41.000 Well, you do what you're doing right now with Obama saying, of course aliens exist.

00:59:45.000 I mean, like, probability wise, I don't mean literally.

00:59:47.000 Then you get Matt Gaetz saying aliens exist.

00:59:49.000 Everyone hears these stories, start to rationalize it in their mind.

00:59:53.000 The next thing you do is you have unknown objects in the sky.

00:59:56.000 You wait a year or two and everyone's used to seeing these strange things.

01:00:00.000 Then you have a story of like military intervention and a video comes out showing a vehicle and we're like, we don't know what these things are.

01:00:08.000 Slow and gradual introduction.

01:00:09.000 And then minor communications like, we're getting signals from an object.

01:00:14.000 What could this be?

01:00:15.000 People get normalized, they get bored with it.

01:00:18.000 And then finally, they're like, there's, then everyone sees something hovering over DC.

01:00:23.000 Wow, another one of these things.

01:00:24.000 Remember 10 years ago when we first started seeing them?

01:00:26.000 Then five years later, It lands and people are like, Oh, look at that.

01:00:31.000 It's just the aliens.

01:00:32.000 Yep.

01:00:32.000 Well, JD Vance said he thinks that they're demons and that he's going to go to Area 51 to go investigate.

01:00:38.000 So that should be interesting to see what he finds.

01:00:40.000 What book was that?

01:00:40.000 I'm so glad.

01:00:41.000 There was a story about aliens come and they look like demons and they take control of like technology and Earth and everyone's very happy.

01:00:50.000 We talked about it on the show before.

01:00:51.000 They made a TV show about it.

01:00:52.000 The glasses.

01:00:53.000 The what?

01:00:54.000 The glasses.

01:00:54.000 The Twilight glasses, man.

01:00:56.000 That's they live.

01:00:56.000 No, that's they live.

01:00:57.000 There is a story about aliens come to Earth and they.

01:01:00.000 And no one sees them.

01:01:02.000 They start granting technology.

01:01:04.000 And then after several years, they say, okay, now we're going to reveal ourselves to you.

01:01:07.000 And they come out looking like gigantic devils with horns and wings.

01:01:10.000 Childhood's End?

01:01:12.000 Is that what it was?

01:01:12.000 I don't know.

01:01:14.000 That's Arthur C. Clarke.

01:01:15.000 Yeah.

01:01:17.000 I just Googled a book about aliens that come to you.

01:01:19.000 The chat knows.

01:01:20.000 All you got to do is wait 10 seconds and then the collective intelligence, Childhood's End.

01:01:23.000 So they're slaying it.

01:01:23.000 Yeah.

01:01:24.000 Yeah.

01:01:25.000 And then what happens is they sterilize everybody or something.

01:01:28.000 Is that what it is?

01:01:29.000 I don't remember.

01:01:30.000 And then take the kids away or something like that.

01:01:31.000 Read part of that book and didn't finish it.

01:01:36.000 I'm so black pilled on aliens being aliens from a different like star system being here.

01:01:43.000 I'm not buying it.

01:01:44.000 You don't think it's real?

01:01:45.000 I don't think it's real.

01:01:46.000 I could be moved if there were a discover if if they were like like shown like look, this is it.

01:01:54.000 This is the ship.

01:01:54.000 This is the alien.

01:01:56.000 This is how it works.

01:01:57.000 As we understand physics right now, that is not happening.

01:02:03.000 That's sort of what I wonder too.

01:02:04.000 I mean, we've sent so many probes and things out there and to get up.

01:02:07.000 Absolutely no real response.

01:02:08.000 We've all been.

01:02:10.000 And I think it has something to do with how willing you are to believe how.

01:02:15.000 Do you remember how many things are actually hidden from view?

01:02:18.000 Well, so first of all, that's true.

01:02:20.000 There's a lot of stuff that we don't see.

01:02:22.000 There's a lot of things that we don't understand.

01:02:24.000 And there's a lot of different ways that the universe could actually be constituted that we don't actually perceive because we're not designed to see the universe the way that it really is, first of all.

01:02:37.000 Second of all, all of the.

01:02:39.000 Messages and radio waves and stuff that have left the Earth, they've only gone about 100 light years.

01:02:45.000 So that's actually only a handful in the galactic scale, a handful of stars that we could actually.

01:02:53.000 That may be true, but inadvertently, the signals we've been broadcasting have been creating perturbations in the subspace radio frequency, which has reached faster than light.

01:03:05.000 Again, they needed to find a way to explain how they talked to the Federation of the Planet, so they created subspace.

01:03:11.000 It's like faster than light radio.

01:03:13.000 Yeah, I could be moved from this position if there is new physics that we discover or there is a ship that's shown.

01:03:22.000 But as of right now, the way we understand the speed of light, because the speed of light isn't just the speed of light, the speed of light is the speed of causality.

01:03:30.000 Right.

01:03:31.000 To a photon that moves, time doesn't happen to a photon.

01:03:35.000 It just starts here and it ends there.

01:03:37.000 That's it.

01:03:38.000 Again, but that's meaningless to a higher dimensional being.

01:03:40.000 Sure.

01:03:41.000 Again, I'm open to other ideas.

01:03:44.000 So, you know, Alex Jones and others have talked about the aliens are not extraterrestrial.

01:03:49.000 They're extradimensional.

01:03:51.000 They're from a higher plane.

01:03:54.000 So, not a lower plane, like JD Vance says.

01:03:58.000 A lower plane?

01:03:59.000 Yeah, so they're two dimensional.

01:04:00.000 Or I guess two dimensional with a third dimension for time.

01:04:05.000 The interesting thing about it is if you existed in a higher dimension, like you were a four dimensional being, well, we are technically four dimensional beings, sort of.

01:04:13.000 We can manipulate three dimensions and we free fall through the fourth.

01:04:17.000 If you were existing in full control of the fourth dimension, but free falling through the fifth, you would perceive time as space.

01:04:25.000 So it would be like imagine if you can go into a building and you're like, oh, this hotel is 100 rooms.

01:04:31.000 It's a one bedroom apartment with 100 rooms.

01:04:35.000 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002.

01:04:36.000 The block universe.

01:04:38.000 Well, there's a theory of the block universe.

01:04:38.000 Like, what?

01:04:40.000 So, like, there's a theory that we experience time by linear time.

01:04:45.000 We're falling through it.

01:04:46.000 Yeah.

01:04:47.000 But there's a theory that the way that the universe is actually created, like, they actually exist is there is no linear time that time is a part of space.

01:04:58.000 So, it's called, like, they call it space time.

01:05:00.000 So, like, there is no future or past if you're outside of time.

01:05:05.000 Like, the block universe is like, it's like, think of a, like, a, a, a, Piece of bread, like that's sliced up into pieces.

01:05:15.000 In the block universe, you can go to any point in time and just like you go to any location.

01:05:20.000 This is my theory on ghosts.

01:05:22.000 I think that ghosts are actually vagrant demons.

01:05:25.000 So they're extra dimensional beings that are effectively homeless.

01:05:28.000 So here's what happens.

01:05:30.000 Like, let's say you're a fifth dimensional being, but you're a drug addict.

01:05:34.000 Where do you go live?

01:05:35.000 You know?

01:05:36.000 The reason we can't perceive them is because they move through time the way we move through space.

01:05:41.000 So there's no point at which we're actually going to see their bodies interact with photons.

01:05:46.000 In time, because the times aren't moving in their dimension.

01:05:50.000 But would you want to live in a tiny box?

01:05:53.000 No, you want to live in a mansion.

01:05:55.000 So, what do you do?

01:05:56.000 As an extra dimensional being, you choose to live in the biggest possible building, which is the oldest.

01:06:02.000 So, very, very old buildings are haunted.

01:06:04.000 Why?

01:06:05.000 Extra dimensional beings are like, bro, this house has been around since 1700.

01:06:09.000 It's got 300 years to live in.

01:06:11.000 And so, it's like the way they perceive us is like a long snake moving from room to room and the people coming and going, and they just avoid us.

01:06:20.000 Don't walk into a person in their frame of time, walk past or between them.

01:06:25.000 So we can't see them because at any moment we're a single frame and they can move between those frames.

01:06:31.000 So they're like, highlight zone episode.

01:06:33.000 They're chilling in the living room, sitting on the couch in a single stitch of time, that in a fraction of a nanosecond.

01:06:40.000 And then there's like two aliens, and he's like, oh, bro, hey, do me a favor, go back to 1980 and grab me a tab.

01:06:46.000 It's like, oh, okay, I'll be right back.

01:06:48.000 And then he runs to 1980, opens the fridge, grabs the tab, and then the person comes in the house and goes, where's my soda?

01:06:52.000 I bought soda.

01:06:53.000 It's missing.

01:06:54.000 Turn the light if it's bothering me.

01:06:56.000 The light turns off.

01:06:57.000 Right.

01:06:57.000 So, if the U.S. government knows that there's aliens, does that mean that they should start deploying Ghostbusters?

01:07:03.000 No, the ghosts and aliens are different.

01:07:06.000 Yeah.

01:07:07.000 And the theory is that if you consume DMT, you can see them.

01:07:10.000 The theory, I say the wackaloon guess, we'll call it that.

01:07:15.000 I did drugs and I saw stuff.

01:07:16.000 Yes, you were on drugs.

01:07:17.000 Well, that happens when you do drugs.

01:07:19.000 I knew a guy once.

01:07:20.000 I've been very questionable.

01:07:21.000 I've found the whole DMT thing sort of questionable because people talk about it as though they see deities.

01:07:28.000 Yeah, the machine elves.

01:07:30.000 Just strange beings.

01:07:31.000 I knew a guy once when I was a teenager, and he said, I swear, dude, I saw a UFO.

01:07:35.000 Like, I came out of my house.

01:07:36.000 I was like hanging with my friends in the basement.

01:07:38.000 I came outside to smoke a cigarette, and I looked up, and I swear to God, a ship came down and it hovered right over the house.

01:07:45.000 And then I was like, Are you being for real?

01:07:47.000 And he's like, Yeah.

01:07:48.000 And then I was like, What happened?

01:07:49.000 He's like, Well, me and my friends were downstairs.

01:07:51.000 We were doing a ton of acid.

01:07:52.000 And then I went up and I went, Okay.

01:07:54.000 Well, that's what's going to happen.

01:07:54.000 Okay.

01:07:56.000 Yeah, I mean, I took acid one time, and I saw a giant cat jump out of my closet, but, you know, 20 seconds later, it wasn't there.

01:08:04.000 Or it was.

01:08:05.000 Or was it?

01:08:06.000 It was an alien in a different time.

01:08:08.000 The idea of you doing those kind of drugs makes me laugh.

01:08:10.000 Yeah, it does.

01:08:10.000 Really?

01:08:11.000 That's very funny.

01:08:13.000 I think there is something.

01:08:15.000 I think the government knows what it is.

01:08:17.000 I think the government interacts with whatever is going on.

01:08:20.000 The stuff that people are seeing in the sky, I don't think is just random.

01:08:23.000 Like, we're not going through a meteor shower or anything.

01:08:27.000 Yeah, it is fascinating, right?

01:08:29.000 I mean, because on the other side, we're probably never going to know.

01:08:34.000 The truth.

01:08:34.000 What if Trump formed the Space Force specifically because we detected an alien threat coming?

01:08:39.000 And they were like, we have 10 years to prepare for this.

01:08:41.000 And he's like, we have to create a space force.

01:08:43.000 Is that why he used the Star Trek symbol?

01:08:46.000 Maybe that's why he had Elon Musk in the.

01:08:48.000 Right.

01:08:49.000 Yeah.

01:08:50.000 I mean, it would really be bizarre.

01:08:53.000 Do you think we'd all come together as a species of humans, or do you think we'd fracture a party for that?

01:08:57.000 I think it would get even worse.

01:08:59.000 Yeah.

01:08:59.000 I think it would get even worse.

01:09:00.000 And then what if it turned out that the Iranians were colluding with the aliens to enslave humanity?

01:09:06.000 Would you then support the war with Iran?

01:09:09.000 Would I support the war with Iran if they were colluding with aliens?

01:09:11.000 Like, let's say Trump came out and was like, What if yesterday's speech he was like, This may be shocking to most Americans, but aliens are real.

01:09:17.000 They're here.

01:09:18.000 They've declared war on us and they've aligned themselves with Iran.

01:09:22.000 And that's why we went to war.

01:09:23.000 Like, what do you think people would do?

01:09:24.000 I think you'd get more support.

01:09:25.000 I think support for the war would skyrocket.

01:09:28.000 I think so, too.

01:09:28.000 And I also think you'd have CNN coming out being like, There's no aliens.

01:09:33.000 Chuck Schumer wandering around being like, He's just trying to distract from the high gas prices.

01:09:38.000 It would be the craziest thing if Chuck Schumer came out and went like, There actually are aliens, and Trump is not wrong.

01:09:45.000 Everyone would just drop a load right there.

01:09:47.000 Yeah, that would definitely fill pants around.

01:09:50.000 You know what?

01:09:51.000 That would cure our craving for a collective culture.

01:09:55.000 We'd all be obsessed with it.

01:09:56.000 United against the aliens.

01:09:58.000 What if Trump came out and said that we are in the messianic era and Iran has aligned itself with demons?

01:10:08.000 These are not fictional beings, these are real entities that have been fighting us.

01:10:12.000 Do you think people would get behind Trump?

01:10:15.000 I think they would.

01:10:16.000 I mean, you'd have to have people believe him first.

01:10:19.000 I think there's so many people who don't believe in any kind of skepticism.

01:10:23.000 I think there's enough.

01:10:24.000 Yeah.

01:10:25.000 I'm saying, I'm not saying everybody would believe him.

01:10:27.000 I'm saying his support would go up.

01:10:28.000 I'm saying there's a bunch of regular people who go, whoa.

01:10:31.000 Well, if you'd believe, the question is, do you believe it?

01:10:34.000 I think there's a lot of people who believe anything the president says.

01:10:37.000 Really?

01:10:37.000 Oh, yeah.

01:10:38.000 Also, a lot of people that believe in aliens.

01:10:40.000 Yeah.

01:10:41.000 Just because they don't know any of these people.

01:10:43.000 Just because it's a lot doesn't mean it's the most important thing.

01:10:45.000 Go to Times Square.

01:10:47.000 What, with like all the NPCs wandering and bumping in?

01:10:49.000 And be like, you could walk up to them and say, the president just said that he was going to give everyone $3 million.

01:10:53.000 How do you feel about that?

01:10:54.000 They go, wow.

01:10:56.000 Really?

01:10:57.000 And you go, yeah.

01:10:58.000 And people that stand in a little circle while the spinny light thing goes around so they can make TikTok videos.

01:11:03.000 I have an idea for a funny prank, and it's to create a line.

01:11:06.000 No, it can't be.

01:11:07.000 That can't be true, Phil.

01:11:08.000 That can't be their majority.

01:11:10.000 You need to listen to Michael Malice more.

01:11:12.000 Most people are.

01:11:13.000 I got an idea for a social experiment that I think would be really funny and would work.

01:11:16.000 You create a line.

01:11:18.000 And you have signs saying, like, $300 gift card, please wait here.

01:11:23.000 And the line wraps around a block and then connects to itself.

01:11:26.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:11:27.000 They're all slowly just walking forward around a block.

01:11:30.000 Like most lines in Soho these days.

01:11:32.000 And then, like, I bet it would keep going.

01:11:32.000 Yep.

01:11:34.000 I bet people would just keep going.

01:11:36.000 Maybe what you do, you have it go into a building and out a side door.

01:11:40.000 And then when someone enters the building, there's someone there who goes, You're here for the gift card.

01:11:44.000 Just the line continues through here.

01:11:47.000 And then people see the building and they're like, Oh, wow.

01:11:50.000 And then they all just keep going back around.

01:11:51.000 I bet they would just keep doing it.

01:11:53.000 I bet people would stand there for a couple hours before realizing something was off.

01:11:56.000 Better than missing your flight at TSA and doing that, which a lot of people had to do before ICE was in there.

01:12:01.000 That's true.

01:12:02.000 Yeah.

01:12:03.000 I think that I hate that that could be true.

01:12:05.000 I really hate that.

01:12:06.000 I don't want that to be true for our fellow human beings.

01:12:09.000 Listen, Michael Malice is right.

01:12:11.000 People are not truth seeking, they are narrative seeking.

01:12:14.000 Anything that confirms their bias, they believe.

01:12:16.000 And most people don't think of anything at all.

01:12:19.000 They just hear stuff and repeat it.

01:12:21.000 And I'm talking about the vast majority.

01:12:23.000 Like human beings are storytellers.

01:12:25.000 Like we are nothing if not the stories we tell each other about ourselves.

01:12:28.000 You know, I mean, that's what we are going back to the beginning of time.

01:12:32.000 Like we tell stories.

01:12:33.000 Yeah.

01:12:34.000 Let's go back to the Pam Bondi.

01:12:35.000 We got the story from the Irish Star.

01:12:36.000 South Park responds to Pam Bondi firing with a savage eight word callback.

01:12:41.000 South Park skewered Attorney General Pam Bondi in a Halloween episode last year, depicting her with feces on her face every time she praised President Trump.

01:12:48.000 Well, they reposted it today, and it's nasty, so I'm not going to show.

01:12:52.000 You can watch another show if you want.

01:12:53.000 I don't either.

01:12:54.000 After show.

01:12:55.000 But what's really interesting about this is we call this brain rot.

01:13:00.000 That is, Parker and Stone have brain rot.

01:13:04.000 And I watched this really great YouTube video that I recommend you guys search for.

01:13:07.000 Because I don't remember, it was just recommended to me why I stopped watching South Park.

01:13:11.000 And the guy explains the jokes that South Park has begun producing are so hyper political, the average person won't understand them.

01:13:19.000 And he said, as somebody who doesn't really care that much for the political fight, I watched this.

01:13:26.000 And he was like, they make references to.

01:13:30.000 Unknown Trump administration personnel, like Dan Scavino?

01:13:36.000 Who's that?

01:13:37.000 And I'm like, well, I know who Dan Scavino is, but it's true.

01:13:40.000 They make fun of Dan Scavino.

01:13:41.000 Go to anybody in this country and ask them, and they're going to be like, I don't know who that is.

01:13:45.000 I literally know who Dan Scavino is because I've been on Laura Trump's show with Aaron Elmore, who he recently got married to, and I've seen their pictures on Instagram.

01:13:55.000 That's why I know who he is.

01:13:56.000 The point ultimately with this, I can tell you his position.

01:13:59.000 The issue is, We are seeing the brain capture of people.

01:14:05.000 These are not jokes.

01:14:06.000 These are, hey, here's a group of people that you've heard of you hate.

01:14:10.000 And for many regular people, they're like, I don't know what you're talking about.

01:14:14.000 And I think this is one of the biggest problems we have in TV shows and movies right now.

01:14:17.000 We got to get away from it.

01:14:20.000 Another point I want to make there was a great meme where it was Trey Parker said that his daughter said to him, You're acting derpy.

01:14:29.000 And he goes, What did you say to me?

01:14:31.000 And she goes, Derpy.

01:14:32.000 You wouldn't know what it meant.

01:14:33.000 And he says, Oh, yeah, look it up.

01:14:35.000 He's the one who made the word up.

01:14:37.000 He made it up.

01:14:38.000 Imagine that.

01:14:38.000 Like, you know, you're a kid and you look up and it's like your dad invented the word you use.

01:14:42.000 You're like, oh, that's really weird.

01:14:44.000 But I contrast this with here's a guy who created so many memes.

01:14:49.000 It is ubiquitous on par with The Simpsons.

01:14:52.000 The Simpsons coined many, many terms and phrases.

01:14:54.000 Yoink, you know what that means?

01:14:56.000 That's from The Simpsons.

01:14:57.000 Meh, from The Simpsons.

01:14:59.000 Saying the quiet part loud, from The Simpsons.

01:15:02.000 There's a ton of these.

01:15:03.000 Cromulant and Biggin.

01:15:05.000 South Park also has a bunch of these, of which Derp is one of them.

01:15:08.000 Yeah.

01:15:09.000 But now he has isolated himself into this tiny bubble of fringe nonsense that regular people don't relate to anymore.

01:15:16.000 I mean, I just wish America was allowed to laugh again and not, you know, be forced to constantly fixate on politics and division.

01:15:24.000 And that's what's ultimately sowing, you know, all this hate within the culture.

01:15:27.000 We're not just allowed to enjoy things that are genuinely funny anymore.

01:15:31.000 You know, I just want to go back to the days of Cartman crying to his mom in a Best Buy about not being allowed to buy an iPad or Towley and Mr. Hankey.

01:15:39.000 Like, why can't we just enjoy those things?

01:15:41.000 One of the best episodes is when.

01:15:43.000 He wants the Nintendo Wii, so he freezes himself.

01:15:46.000 And when he wakes up in the future, they don't have it anymore.

01:15:49.000 And when they finally get it, the adapters don't work, which is all like kind of common sense, funny things we've dealt with.

01:15:55.000 Now it's here's Pam Bondi with feces on her face.

01:15:58.000 And I got to be honest, I know a lot of people are going to be like, who?

01:16:02.000 Yeah.

01:16:03.000 It really started in around 2020, I feel like, with them making fun of Rudy and Trump in the Oval Office with the election stuff.

01:16:10.000 Mr. Garrison and Trump.

01:16:10.000 Yeah.

01:16:12.000 Yes.

01:16:13.000 And honestly, that one episode with the rallying in Myrtle Beach was kind of funny.

01:16:18.000 But aside from that, it's just too niche and it's too critical.

01:16:23.000 It's not what South Park used to even be.

01:16:25.000 Yeah.

01:16:26.000 It's a far cry from the Pinewood Derby with Baby Farx McGee's in it.

01:16:30.000 Yeah, that was funny.

01:16:33.000 It was nonsense.

01:16:34.000 Or when Cartman made Scott Tenement eat his own parents.

01:16:37.000 There's nothing there but shock and obscenity.

01:16:37.000 Oh, my gosh.

01:16:40.000 And it was just messed up.

01:16:42.000 What's your favorite South Park episode?

01:16:44.000 Oh, man.

01:16:44.000 I don't know.

01:16:45.000 I mean, probably that one.

01:16:46.000 That's why I referenced it.

01:16:47.000 Where Radiohead walks up and they're like, he's crying like a little baby.

01:16:50.000 Not a baby.

01:16:51.000 Not cool.

01:16:52.000 And he's like, no, Radiohead.

01:16:55.000 Or Casa Bonita is a good one.

01:16:56.000 You know, they opened a real Casa Bonita in Denver.

01:16:59.000 They have a real version of it.

01:17:01.000 It's the show is referencing the real Casa Bonita.

01:17:05.000 Yeah, but they bought it.

01:17:05.000 Like, oh, they bought it.

01:17:07.000 It closed down and they bought it and now they own it.

01:17:09.000 That's awesome.

01:17:11.000 South Park was massively culturally relevant and they have relegated themselves to a tiny pocket of fringe wackaloons who are 70 years old and hate Trump and know everything about him.

01:17:20.000 But what is culturally relevant anymore?

01:17:22.000 Like, what is what captures what?

01:17:25.000 Landman.

01:17:26.000 Yeah.

01:17:26.000 Landman, I think they do 16 million per episode.

01:17:28.000 Yeah.

01:17:28.000 It's a good show.

01:17:29.000 And Landman mocks Woke.

01:17:31.000 Yeah.

01:17:31.000 It's a good show.

01:17:32.000 And then Star Trek, Starfleet Academy was doing a million per episode and got canceled.

01:17:37.000 Yeah, it did.

01:17:38.000 Even though the last two episodes weren't that bad.

01:17:41.000 What?

01:17:41.000 The last two episodes of Starfleet Academy weren't that bad.

01:17:44.000 My son and I, we were hate watching it, you know?

01:17:44.000 Really?

01:17:47.000 And then the last two episodes weren't that bad.

01:17:49.000 Jonathan Frakes directed the penultimate episode of the first one.

01:17:49.000 And we looked it up.

01:17:53.000 But now we're on to Invincible.

01:17:54.000 Oh, you know what they really did?

01:17:56.000 Did you watch The Invincible last night, Tim?

01:17:57.000 I have not yet seen it.

01:17:58.000 I'll watch it tonight.

01:17:59.000 All right.

01:17:59.000 You know what they really did?

01:18:00.000 Was it good?

01:18:00.000 Oh, yes.

01:18:02.000 It was good.

01:18:04.000 I'm still like wondering what happens now.

01:18:04.000 Okay.

01:18:06.000 Big cliffhanger.

01:18:08.000 Big cliffhanger.

01:18:08.000 Oh, but it's not the season finale, is it?

01:18:10.000 No.

01:18:11.000 Invincible's been pretty good.

01:18:13.000 My only problem is that Adam Eve's powers are to reshape matter and she doesn't.

01:18:18.000 And I'm like, she just makes energy, even though she could literally turn the air around someone into lead.

01:18:27.000 She could, but now she can't do anything.

01:18:29.000 Because she's having a baby.

01:18:30.000 She's pregnant.

01:18:31.000 Yeah.

01:18:32.000 Just turns her powers off.

01:18:33.000 It turns the powers off.

01:18:33.000 It does.

01:18:36.000 They say that?

01:18:36.000 Well, I'll just watch tonight's episode.

01:18:40.000 Yeah, Land Man, I think, is like one of the biggest shows on TV right now with massive, massive viewership.

01:18:45.000 And I'm worried because I don't know what we'll do without Billy Bob.

01:18:47.000 I want to watch.

01:18:48.000 Did he pass away or something?

01:18:49.000 No, I'm just saying he's old.

01:18:50.000 Yeah, he is.

01:18:51.000 And he's epic.

01:18:52.000 He's amazing.

01:18:53.000 I watched like three episodes of it, the first three episodes or four episodes.

01:18:57.000 I think it was on.

01:18:58.000 I think it was on Hulu where you could watch them to try and get you to get Paramount.

01:19:02.000 Yeah.

01:19:02.000 And I'm going to end up getting Paramount to watch it.

01:19:05.000 I'm pretty sure I'm watching it.

01:19:07.000 They have tons of landman scenes that just criticize woke.

01:19:09.000 Like it's written just to make fun of pronouns that once in a while went viral.

01:19:13.000 Should I actually watch it?

01:19:13.000 I haven't watched it.

01:19:14.000 Oh, it's amazing.

01:19:15.000 The scene where he, like, it really is relevant to me when the famous scene where he brings the young female lawyer out to some wind turbines and she goes, worried about green energy encroaching on your land.

01:19:29.000 And then Billy Bob goes, not green, alternative.

01:19:32.000 These wind turbines aren't here to generate energy for the grid.

01:19:35.000 They're off grid generating energy for oil pumps because we can't get transmission lines out here.

01:19:40.000 And a lot of people don't realize wind turbines are placed in remote areas where they want to pump oil but can't get power lines in.

01:19:47.000 Right.

01:19:47.000 Do you think it's green energy?

01:19:49.000 It's not.

01:19:49.000 Well, that's why on, I think it was the Navajo Hopi Reservation, there was like a huge push for solar panels just to create shade structures with refrigerators underneath them so people could keep their insulin cold.

01:20:03.000 Wow.

01:20:04.000 People had diabetes.

01:20:05.000 And that's what the solar energy was used for.

01:20:07.000 And that's great.

01:20:09.000 Like, it's a great use of solar energy.

01:20:11.000 Yeah.

01:20:12.000 Especially like, you know, the fact that you can actually put the cooler right underneath the solar array and put out a little chair, too, in the shade.

01:20:21.000 You have some drinks in there, too, probably.

01:20:23.000 I think that's what you said.

01:20:24.000 Yeah.

01:20:24.000 Probably some beers.

01:20:25.000 Some beers.

01:20:26.000 I wonder about a chair.

01:20:29.000 There's the conspiracy theory that anytime someone makes a breakthrough in high energy return on energy investment technologies like fusion, the U.S. government kills them because it will disrupt the petrodollar system.

01:20:29.000 Yeah.

01:20:42.000 What's this thing where, like, recently there's been people who are really excelling in their fields and engineering getting killed in their houses by random homeless people?

01:20:52.000 Six different people.

01:20:53.000 A bunch of scientists.

01:20:54.000 And they work on aerospace propulsion.

01:20:56.000 At the same time, when people are seeing alien ships in the sky and the general who worked on UFO stuff disappears.

01:20:56.000 Yeah.

01:21:01.000 Right.

01:21:02.000 That's crazy.

01:21:03.000 I think we might be at war with aliens, guys.

01:21:05.000 And we just don't, nobody's told us.

01:21:07.000 Do you want to know?

01:21:08.000 If we were at war with aliens, I would want to know that.

01:21:10.000 I would.

01:21:11.000 Yeah, I would.

01:21:11.000 You know why?

01:21:12.000 I'd start digging.

01:21:13.000 Yeah.

01:21:14.000 I'd be like, I don't know how far down I got to go, but we're going way deep.

01:21:17.000 What if they're demons and then they come up?

01:21:19.000 Well, they're in space.

01:21:20.000 I don't think there's demons in the center of Earth.

01:21:22.000 I mean, actually, I will say this.

01:21:24.000 If I started digging and went so far down that a portal to hell opened up and demons came out, I guess we'd know something.

01:21:31.000 We're doomed from both ends.

01:21:32.000 We'd know something new.

01:21:34.000 Actually, that's a really funny bit.

01:21:35.000 It's like we keep digging and then we find a portal to hell and then the demons come out, but then the aliens start fighting the demons.

01:21:41.000 And then humans just are like, I have no idea what's going on.

01:21:43.000 What are we doing?

01:21:44.000 We're just going to find some trees in the middle.

01:21:45.000 And then we just hide out in the Appalachian Mountains.

01:21:48.000 Which are like one of the oldest places on Earth.

01:21:50.000 And immune to the great flood that's coming when the axis tilts.

01:21:54.000 There you go.

01:21:55.000 Yeah, so when you look at the great flood maps, the theory about the axis is going to shift 90 degrees or whatever.

01:22:03.000 Ben Davidson talks quite a bit about this that we're not just going to see the poles flip, but when they do, the earth will tilt.

01:22:10.000 And then when that happens, a flood will wash over everywhere, but the Appalachian Mountains will be one of the only places left untouched by the flood.

01:22:19.000 So that guy who was building the ark in Tennessee, he gave up too soon.

01:22:23.000 Well, it's principally going to be central West Virginia ish, where there's like a diagram showing the water.

01:22:31.000 So we're lost?

01:22:33.000 Where we are will largely be safe, yes.

01:22:35.000 Oh, that's not bad.

01:22:36.000 Look at that.

01:22:36.000 Yep.

01:22:37.000 Yeah, and you know, I'm not supposed to say this, but it's probably late enough in the campaign that it doesn't matter.

01:22:45.000 But we moved to West Virginia, and the reason why Mount Weather and Raven Rock are within 10 to 15 miles of here is because we have all been briefed as prominent CIA selected media personalities to survive the Great Flood, which is coming in three or four years.

01:23:02.000 And I figure at this point you can't do anything about it.

01:23:05.000 So I'll tell you now.

01:23:07.000 And that's a joke, but I'm sure there are people out there freaking out being like, it's not joking.

01:23:11.000 Or it's just Googling it and asking, did they give you a binder on it?

01:23:15.000 Oh, yeah.

01:23:15.000 But here's the funny thing there are people who believe it's impossible to succeed organically in media.

01:23:21.000 And that all, like, I actually met a guy and he was like, hey, man, I watch your show.

01:23:27.000 And he was like, is it real?

01:23:29.000 And then I'm like, is what real?

01:23:30.000 I was like, like, your show.

01:23:32.000 And I'm like, yes.

01:23:33.000 And he's like, no, but like, all of this stuff's not scripted.

01:23:38.000 And I'm like, what stuff?

01:23:39.000 And he's like, with Candace and like Tucker.

01:23:41.000 And I was like, it's all real.

01:23:43.000 And he was like, it's not like the government puts you there.

01:23:49.000 There are people who genuinely don't think it's possible because they can't do it and they can't understand how.

01:23:54.000 So they project and think Tim Cast and Candace Tucker and, you know, Cenk Ueger must be selected by the elites to be the play actors on the great stage of the narrative machine.

01:24:07.000 That'd be pretty weird.

01:24:08.000 I mean, I wish it would be less stressful.

01:24:10.000 Can you blame them though?

01:24:11.000 It's less stressful, but I mean, for a lot of people, it's like their version of WWE.

01:24:15.000 It is, yeah.

01:24:16.000 I mean, can you really blame people for kind of being like that?

01:24:19.000 Like, they don't know, people don't have any idea what's real.

01:24:22.000 They don't, all the institutions, they don't trust them anymore.

01:24:25.000 And now you've got AI basically, you know, annihilating their brains with videos and stuff that you literally can't tell the difference from real.

01:24:35.000 Only, or you can only tell the difference between whether it's real or not by what's happening in it.

01:24:39.000 And you have to be like, Okay, that's too absurd to be real.

01:24:41.000 But there's, you know, the videos of people going down these like, you know, mile high water slides, and it's like, oh, he just fell off the water slide.

01:24:47.000 That looks just like you would think it would look.

01:24:50.000 Well, it would fall off a water slide.

01:24:52.000 It's becoming indistinguishable now.

01:24:53.000 I saw a video of a motorcycle crash.

01:24:55.000 It was, to me, obvious that it was AI, but the comments, they thought it was surveillance footage, like ring camera on a motorcycle drives by and crashes into a car.

01:25:04.000 And I'm like, oh, that's clearly AI.

01:25:05.000 But all the comments were like, whoa, man, he was speeding, like all crazy.

01:25:09.000 And they're posting memes and GIFs and all that stuff.

01:25:12.000 I think the younger generations are going to be able to discern it far better.

01:25:17.000 I don't think so.

01:25:17.000 You don't think so?

01:25:18.000 Nope.

01:25:19.000 We were talking about this with Jack Pasobic when we watched the Teenage Mate Ninja Turtles at WWE, and it looks real.

01:25:27.000 The issue is, we know it's not because we lived in 1993.

01:25:31.000 Right.

01:25:32.000 Well, some of us did.

01:25:33.000 And young people who grow up, like, what's it called, Gen Bravo, which are being born now?

01:25:40.000 After Alpha.

01:25:40.000 That's the last one.

01:25:41.000 After Alpha, yeah.

01:25:42.000 They are going to grow up where they see.

01:25:45.000 Macho Man Randy Savage snap into a slim gym and all that stuff.

01:25:48.000 Then they're going to see the Ninja Turtles and they're going to go, I don't know.

01:25:51.000 They're both the same thing to me.

01:25:53.000 They look identical.

01:25:54.000 There will be no history.

01:25:56.000 There will be no legacy.

01:25:57.000 It'll be chaos.

01:25:58.000 Well, it could be chaos.

01:26:00.000 But what about, I mean, I guess I just keep sort of holding out hope that people are going to want to know things.

01:26:06.000 They will.

01:26:07.000 But the problem is there will be someone who is evil and will lie.

01:26:10.000 It'll be like Futurama when they figure the honeymooners went to the moon.

01:26:14.000 Yep.

01:26:15.000 Right.

01:26:15.000 One of these days, Edna.

01:26:17.000 Bang, zoom, straight to the moon.

01:26:21.000 He's like, what?

01:26:22.000 And Leela's like, I never knew early astronauts were so fat.

01:26:25.000 He wasn't an astronaut.

01:26:27.000 And he was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife.

01:26:33.000 One of these days, quality, wholesome entertainment.

01:26:36.000 It was funny that everyone laughed about that back in the day.

01:26:39.000 Like, one of these days, I'm going to strike you.

01:26:42.000 What was really interesting about the honeymooners and a lot of those old shows is you look at their apartments.

01:26:48.000 They had a house, didn't they?

01:26:48.000 Right.

01:26:49.000 No, they just had an apartment.

01:26:51.000 Yeah.

01:26:51.000 Really?

01:26:52.000 With kids?

01:26:54.000 No, they had no kids.

01:26:55.000 And they had what's his name?

01:26:56.000 Ed coming down from upstairs.

01:26:58.000 Very similar to Lucy and Desi and Ethel.

01:27:01.000 Well, they had houses.

01:27:02.000 They had houses.

01:27:03.000 Eventually.

01:27:04.000 But not eventually.

01:27:04.000 But they slept in two separate beds.

01:27:06.000 At first, they lived in an apartment.

01:27:08.000 But they eventually.

01:27:09.000 Remember when she kept eating all of the chocolates?

01:27:11.000 That's a brilliant episode.

01:27:11.000 Yes.

01:27:13.000 But if you look at their apartments, these are not fancy apartments.

01:27:16.000 They're super basic.

01:27:18.000 Oh, yeah.

01:27:18.000 Everyone in.

01:27:20.000 2026 has far more expensive crap in their homes.

01:27:25.000 One of the problems with modern society is this you always hear these communists say things like, you know, we're the first generation of it worse than our parents.

01:27:32.000 And I was like, my dad didn't have a cell phone or a TV or a computer when he grew up.

01:27:37.000 He had an empty apartment and like a couch.

01:27:41.000 So we have all of these other requirements.

01:27:43.000 Fair point.

01:27:45.000 Not necessarily requirements, but to a certain degree, like a cell phone is a requirement now to survive in the modern era.

01:27:49.000 And so you, it's one of the issues is you can't just live with.

01:27:54.000 Nothing.

01:27:55.000 We used to have payphones.

01:27:56.000 You didn't have a phone in your house, you'd go outside.

01:27:57.000 And this is like within our lifetimes.

01:28:01.000 There are people who are like 60.

01:28:02.000 It's like, oh yeah, I didn't have a phone in my first apartment.

01:28:04.000 I'd go outside and use a payphone.

01:28:06.000 Within living memory.

01:28:07.000 Within living memory.

01:28:08.000 That's the way to put it.

01:28:10.000 Now, young people are like, life is so bad and I can't have my own place, which is true, but they do have a computer, a cell phone, a TV.

01:28:16.000 They have Netflix.

01:28:17.000 They have access to the summation of human knowledge.

01:28:19.000 My first apartment, we didn't have a telephone in it and we didn't get a phone.

01:28:23.000 There was a payphone out front.

01:28:25.000 Well, when I first had internet, I would call the payphone and then never answer because we didn't actually want to talk to people.

01:28:33.000 So when I was a kid, I would be trying to download a song.

01:28:37.000 Off of the internet, and you'd get a telemarketer phone call in the middle of it.

01:28:41.000 Ruin it.

01:28:42.000 Kicking you off the internet.

01:28:43.000 And then it would shut off your download, and you'd have to restart.

01:28:43.000 Totally killing it.

01:28:47.000 And it took like four hours to download one MP3.

01:28:50.000 And I was constantly going, Why can't you put a placeholder on the download?

01:28:54.000 I don't understand.

01:28:55.000 Then we got LimeWire and Kazaa in the 2000s, which could.

01:29:00.000 Right.

01:29:01.000 If the internet went out, it would pause, and then it could start back up.

01:29:04.000 It was magic.

01:29:05.000 And you weren't allowed to download anyway, but we did.

01:29:07.000 I remember that too.

01:29:08.000 We had like whole floppy discs.

01:29:11.000 My favorite thing about like Limewire and Kazaa was some small no name band would upload one of their songs as like a Metallica song.

01:29:20.000 It would be like, you know, enter Sandman.

01:29:22.000 And then you'd go to download it and you get some weird band you never heard of.

01:29:25.000 And I'm just thinking to myself when I was like, I don't know how I was like 14, I was like, I have no idea who this band is.

01:29:31.000 I will never find out who this band is.

01:29:34.000 Do they think this strategy will work for them?

01:29:36.000 Delete.

01:29:37.000 I remember downloading this one.

01:29:39.000 A remix of Bjork and Tawate Hyper Ballad, which they did, but it was a remix of that.

01:29:47.000 And it was so good.

01:29:48.000 And I can't find it anywhere.

01:29:50.000 And I never saved it somehow, even though I had it for years.

01:29:52.000 And now it's gone forever.

01:29:53.000 And I've looked it up.

01:29:55.000 And it doesn't, I can't find it.

01:29:57.000 Got a lot of demos.

01:29:57.000 Yeah.

01:29:59.000 Yeah.

01:30:00.000 Yeah.

01:30:00.000 Demos are good.

01:30:01.000 Yeah.

01:30:05.000 When we were putting out our second record, I put three of the songs on the internet for people to download free.

01:30:12.000 My label got so pissed off.

01:30:14.000 Cost us money.

01:30:15.000 That was still when people would buy records.

01:30:18.000 Well, a little bit.

01:30:20.000 Browsing the CD section at Best Buy?

01:30:23.000 Browsing the CD section at Best Buy?

01:30:26.000 Back in the day.

01:30:27.000 Man.

01:30:28.000 Do malls still exist?

01:30:30.000 Are they a thing?

01:30:30.000 They do.

01:30:31.000 I'm kidding, by the way, but man, they're so barren these days.

01:30:34.000 And there's not a decent record store.

01:30:37.000 Man, you know what we got to do?

01:30:38.000 We got to do my mall store show.

01:30:39.000 Like Seamus and I had been talking about for a while.

01:30:42.000 The idea was.

01:30:44.000 We wanted to open a store in a mall that was random and just changes all the time.

01:30:50.000 My brother Chris's idea was that we open a gasoline store.

01:30:53.000 And there's a bunch of shelves with gas cans full of gasoline.

01:30:53.000 Nice.

01:30:57.000 And we sell gas by the gallon.

01:30:59.000 And it's slightly cheaper than a gas station.

01:31:01.000 And then when someone says, How do you sell gas cheaper than a gas station?

01:31:05.000 the response is, Oh, we don't pay taxes.

01:31:09.000 So it's just like weird stores that make no sense.

01:31:10.000 Seamus's idea was a store that just has Asians.

01:31:13.000 And in the store, in the mall, it's a bunch of Asian people standing in random spots looking in random directions.

01:31:19.000 And then, when someone walks in and says, Excuse me, what is this?

01:31:22.000 The Asian person goes, Oh, I don't work here.

01:31:25.000 So it's just like weird things.

01:31:27.000 We wanted to do a show, like a reality show kind of thing with it.

01:31:29.000 It's all like Twilight Zone stores, really.

01:31:31.000 Yeah.

01:31:32.000 A laundromat where when you walk in, there's like one big fat Italian guy standing at the counter and none of the machines are plugged in our work.

01:31:39.000 And then, when you come in and you're like, I need to do my laundry, he panics.

01:31:43.000 He's like, Oh, yeah, one second.

01:31:45.000 And then he goes through a swinging door.

01:31:48.000 And then when he does, you see the door swing open and there's a bunch of Italian guys shoveling money into duffel bags.

01:31:53.000 And they look and clearly, you know, not a laundromat, things like that.

01:31:58.000 We got that idea because I've actually been to a front business before.

01:32:02.000 There was a restaurant where I lived in Jersey and it had like the sandwich board outside, but we never saw anybody go in or out.

01:32:11.000 And so one day, my brother and I were like, well, let's go.

01:32:16.000 We've eaten at a bunch of the restaurants, let's go to this one.

01:32:18.000 And we walk there and it's like 4 p.m. and we open the door and walk in, and the lights are all off.

01:32:23.000 And there's like three Italian dudes behind the counter just sitting there, and there's no servers, nothing's going on.

01:32:30.000 And we're like, This is like the Fratellis from Goonies.

01:32:34.000 And then, no joke.

01:32:35.000 And then I walk in and they're like, Hey, and I was like, Hey, I was like, Oh, and I was like, Are you guys doing food?

01:32:40.000 And they're like, Oh, no, sorry, not today.

01:32:41.000 Kitchen is closed today.

01:32:43.000 And then I was like, Oh, Kitchen closed today.

01:32:45.000 And then he was like, And then I was like, Okay, can I get something to drink?

01:32:49.000 And they were like, Yeah, what do you want?

01:32:51.000 And I was like, Do you have a Coke?

01:32:54.000 And then one guy goes, Yeah, one second.

01:32:56.000 Walks in the back.

01:32:57.000 I swear to God, he walked out the back door and walked to a gas station and came back and he handed me a can of Coke and he was like $1.50.

01:33:03.000 And then I was like, All right, we're going to go.

01:33:05.000 And I'm like, This is not a real business.

01:33:08.000 Because they constantly would have like, We're open and nobody would ever go in.

01:33:12.000 I wonder if everyone just kind of knew.

01:33:15.000 Yeah, they're like, Don't go in there.

01:33:17.000 They just need a place where they can write things off.

01:33:19.000 That's the New Jersey daycare center.

01:33:22.000 Yeah.

01:33:23.000 Well, at least I'm assuming they weren't scamming the government.

01:33:27.000 Just trying to clean some drug money or something, huh?

01:33:30.000 They were scamming the government, but it was a different kind of scam.

01:33:33.000 Sure, sure.

01:33:34.000 But I just mean, like, I respect the criminal more if it's just ill gotten gains and not stealing my money.

01:33:40.000 Yeah.

01:33:40.000 You know what I mean?

01:33:41.000 Like, you steal from me, we got a problem.

01:33:43.000 You are selling otherwise less than legal goods.

01:33:46.000 I'm not a fan, but you're not stealing from me.

01:33:49.000 You know what I mean?

01:33:49.000 Yep.

01:33:50.000 You made your money.

01:33:51.000 Undocumented marketplace, we call it.

01:33:54.000 Undocumented, yeah.

01:33:55.000 An undocumented marketplace.

01:33:57.000 Just doesn't have paperwork.

01:33:58.000 Yeah.

01:33:59.000 You know?

01:34:00.000 Let's jump to this last one.

01:34:01.000 Let's get this last one.

01:34:02.000 And this one's My friends, the UK has been conquered.

01:34:07.000 King Charles won't give an address for Easter, but he'll give one for an Islamic holiday.

01:34:12.000 Yeah.

01:34:12.000 That's great.

01:34:13.000 That's great.

01:34:13.000 Assalamu alaikum.

01:34:15.000 Ramadan Mubarak.

01:34:18.000 Ladies and gentlemen, as Muslims across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth begin preparations to celebrate Eid after fasting for the holy month of Ramadan, I just wanted to convey my heartfelt best wishes.

01:34:34.000 We got it.

01:34:34.000 We don't need to hear it.

01:34:35.000 I think he's converted.

01:34:38.000 I think he's Muslim.

01:34:40.000 That might actually be true.

01:34:41.000 Why don't we see Camilla in hijab, you know, or even better, with a burqa?

01:34:45.000 Because they're allowed to lie.

01:34:45.000 She's like the one who.

01:34:46.000 If you see her face, it's okay.

01:34:48.000 They're allowed to lie.

01:34:49.000 They're just allowed to make shit up.

01:34:51.000 Well, yes, I think.

01:34:51.000 Excuse me.

01:34:53.000 It does seem like he's converted.

01:34:55.000 And if he was speaking with Muslims, they would say, to prevent chaos and riots, you know, don't overplay your hand.

01:35:03.000 Yeah.

01:35:04.000 And I mean, if they did convert, then he certainly would be treading on thin ice if he were to give an Easter message.

01:35:11.000 Which he declined to give the Easter message.

01:35:12.000 Which he did.

01:35:13.000 Yeah.

01:35:13.000 Which I find sort of insane, you know, that he's not giving an Easter message.

01:35:18.000 I mean, it's sort of symbolic of what's happened in his country.

01:35:21.000 Yeah.

01:35:21.000 His country is a disaster.

01:35:22.000 I mean, it's called, let's see.

01:35:26.000 Taqiyah.

01:35:27.000 Yeah.

01:35:28.000 It's the Islamic doctrinal concept that permits a Muslim to conceal or deny their faith when facing danger, persecution, or threat of death or harm.

01:35:36.000 There's also the practice in Islam where if you convert, you can be part of the pillaging and raping and everything.

01:35:46.000 Wait, you can?

01:35:47.000 Yeah.

01:35:47.000 It's like if you convert, then you're allowed to go on conquest.

01:35:54.000 You get some share of the booty.

01:35:55.000 Share of the booty?

01:35:56.000 Yeah.

01:35:57.000 Both figurative and literal booty?

01:35:58.000 Yeah.

01:35:58.000 I'm sure.

01:35:59.000 I mean, you know, what with the way we're.

01:36:01.000 Well, that must be enticing to a lot of young guys.

01:36:03.000 I guess so.

01:36:04.000 Yeah.

01:36:05.000 Or kings.

01:36:06.000 I think it's pretty enticing to Charles here, who is seeking to appease all of the Muslims in his nation.

01:36:13.000 I don't know that he's seeking to appease them.

01:36:15.000 I think he's one of them.

01:36:16.000 Converted.

01:36:17.000 Yeah.

01:36:18.000 Could he be under duress?

01:36:19.000 No.

01:36:20.000 He's assimilating to those who refuse to.

01:36:22.000 Well, the Commonwealth countries are all very welcoming to Islam.

01:36:25.000 Yeah.

01:36:26.000 They really are.

01:36:27.000 But I mean, so is our country.

01:36:27.000 Yeah.

01:36:30.000 You know, Trump, not so much.

01:36:31.000 Trump's not so much, but I mean, look at, like, we're losing all of these fights.

01:36:36.000 You know, you have all of the judges.

01:36:38.000 Yeah, like, you have all of the judges saying, like, actually, you can't revoke the temporary protected status.

01:36:45.000 Actually, you can't send these illegal immigrants back.

01:36:48.000 Actually, you can't do anything about any of these things.

01:36:50.000 It's like, it doesn't matter what the American people want.

01:36:53.000 The judiciary is so captured that they're, you know, not allowing anything to change.

01:36:59.000 If a nation's structure is as such that it will be destroyed by its enemies, then it.

01:37:04.000 Will be destroyed.

01:37:05.000 Right.

01:37:05.000 Yeah.

01:37:06.000 The United States does not have the statutory capability to protect itself.

01:37:10.000 That's a fact.

01:37:11.000 The fact that the Supreme Court is set to rule in favor of keeping birthright citizenship, despite the fact that every argument makes sense.

01:37:20.000 I'll put it very, very simply for everybody there's no argument against what I'm about to say.

01:37:24.000 Wong Kim Mark says domiciled.

01:37:26.000 Fair point.

01:37:26.000 Illegal immigrants have no allegiance to us.

01:37:28.000 They've broken our laws and come in here in violation.

01:37:31.000 You are not allegiant to a power you seek to offend.

01:37:35.000 That's not allegiance.

01:37:36.000 That's threat of action against.

01:37:40.000 So, the Supreme Court should just say if you're a legal, temporary, or permanent resident, that includes tourism through a visa, your child will be a citizen.

01:37:52.000 If you enter illegally, you clearly have no allegiance, are not domiciled, and subject to removal, your kids will not be.

01:37:58.000 The fact that John Roberts' statement is, it may be a new time, but it's the same Constitution, he's basically saying, F the United States and your country, we will not protect it.

01:38:09.000 Well, and also Kavanaugh at the end saying to the ACLU's attorney, Do you want a big win or do you want a little win?

01:38:16.000 And she was like, I'll take any win.

01:38:17.000 But it seems pretty clear, listening to the arguments yesterday, that they did not believe that the Solicitor General had any real case to make.

01:38:27.000 Yeah.

01:38:27.000 Which is wrong.

01:38:29.000 Which I think is wrong, too.

01:38:30.000 Because the other thing, too, is it's not like they can't overturn precedent.

01:38:34.000 You know, like Wong King Ark was terribly decided from what it looks like.

01:38:38.000 No, I have no problem.

01:38:40.000 The Solicitor General didn't even argue that it should be overturned.

01:38:44.000 I think his point is actually pretty simple.

01:38:47.000 The Supreme Court never ruled on the issue of fast travel birthright, fast travel birth tourism.

01:38:54.000 And so all we need now is a simple precedent setting opinion from this court as it pertains to a new issue relevant to the facts.

01:39:02.000 Individuals are not domiciled here, have no allegiance here.

01:39:06.000 And so be it.

01:39:09.000 If you think birth tourism should be allowed, then by all means say that.

01:39:12.000 But you can still at least say if you enter the country illegally, you are not granted or foreign protections.

01:39:17.000 Well, you also, I think.

01:39:18.000 There should be some provision to outlaw birther tourism.

01:39:22.000 There's like 1.5 million allegedly American babies being raised in China by Chinese parents.

01:39:29.000 And we already know that for people from China to come study in the U.S., that has to be approved by the CCP.

01:39:35.000 Like, that's not just.

01:39:36.000 So, any of these people coming back, they are not allegiant to the United States.

01:39:41.000 They are allegiant to the CCP.

01:39:43.000 Might make sense.

01:39:44.000 It might doesn't make right.

01:39:44.000 Yeah.

01:39:45.000 That's a moral point.

01:39:46.000 It just makes.

01:39:47.000 Those who are willing to exert force and authority will succeed, and those who are not will be destroyed.

01:39:52.000 And the entire goodwill of the United States is being entirely abused.

01:39:55.000 And our judicial system, from the lowest court on up, you know, from the lowest court that releases criminals so that they can go murder women at Fairfax bus stops, all the way up to the Supreme Court, are completely captured by this idea that they, like you were saying, they can't do anything.

01:40:12.000 They won't do anything to protect the United States.

01:40:14.000 So the point is this the Supreme Court, the conservatives, they absolutely have the power to say, yeah, okay, no, like obviously this is an exploitation of the 14th Amendment.

01:40:28.000 I mean, I think it's a long shot that they do, but it is absurd to me that, you know, if anything, if I was on the court, if there's an honorable court and they felt this was a task for Congress, then the ruling should be Trump's executive order shall stand until Congress intervenes, as this is their role to set these standards.

01:40:50.000 Instead, it seems like they're going to be like, yeah, we know China's gutting and destroying this country, but yeah, who cares?

01:40:56.000 It's like, well, okay, then I guess there won't be a United States.

01:40:56.000 Mm hmm.

01:40:59.000 I mean, look, I agree with all of the points being made, but I do think that what they're saying is get Congress to pass a law.

01:41:08.000 But here's the point Congress doesn't do anything.

01:41:11.000 Congress is not going to pass a law pertaining to a constitutional amendment.

01:41:15.000 So one of two things has to happen.

01:41:18.000 Clarity needs to be provided as to the interpretation of the amendment by the Supreme Court as it pertains to illegal immigration and birth or tourism, or Congress would have to repeal or replace.

01:41:29.000 The Fourth Amendment, which is functionally impossible.

01:41:32.000 So, any good steward would simply say it is the interpretation of this court that the Fourth Amendment does not protect birther tourism nor illegal immigrants having anchor babies.

01:41:41.000 I mean, I agree with you, but I don't think that I think that what they're the point that they're making is this is not for the Supreme Court to do.

01:41:48.000 My point is not about their statement.

01:41:50.000 It is that if they, again, if they believe Congress needs to pass a law that clarifies birth tourism or whatever, they are still.

01:42:03.000 Standing on a question of precedent they can answer and abdicating their responsibility.

01:42:12.000 They are not being stewards.

01:42:14.000 So, the role of the court is to interpret the law, which includes the amendments.

01:42:18.000 They have a question for them pending interpretation.

01:42:21.000 If they refuse to answer that interpretation, they are derelict of their duties.

01:42:27.000 Well, I think the answer that they're giving again, this isn't something that I agree with, but I think the answer.

01:42:33.000 I understand what you're going to say.

01:42:34.000 The point is, I get it.

01:42:36.000 They are cowards and they're not doing their jobs because they're cowards.

01:42:39.000 There is no legitimate argument that they are making.

01:42:42.000 The claim that Congress must repeal the 14th Amendment is psychotic.

01:42:47.000 The 14th Amendment clearly does not cover birth tourism and anchor babies.

01:42:53.000 The interpretation of the amendment is a duty of the Supreme Court, not Congress.

01:42:57.000 Well, I mean, the argument that they're going to make is we are taking the literal understanding of the 14th Amendment.

01:43:05.000 I understand this point you've made three times now.

01:43:07.000 It does not change that the question of the interpretation of codified law existing, passed by Congress.

01:43:07.000 Yeah.

01:43:14.000 And the Fourth Amendment is a duty of the courts and not Congress.

01:43:17.000 And again, to say that they will argue otherwise, I agree, and they are lying because they are cowards.

01:43:23.000 The reason why they didn't pick up the original jurisdiction, Texas v. Pennsylvania, is not because it wasn't in their jurisdiction.

01:43:29.000 It was.

01:43:29.000 It's because they're cowards.

01:43:30.000 Well, that I agree with.

01:43:31.000 They are weak, pathetic people.

01:43:34.000 Save Thomas and Alito.

01:43:35.000 The Supreme Court is composed of those who seek to destroy this country and spineless loser cowards who will not do their jobs.

01:43:44.000 Thomas and Alito said, we are obligated to answer the question in Texas v. Pennsylvania as original jurisdiction only goes to the Supreme Court.

01:43:51.000 That is, state suing state is Is a task of the Supreme Court.

01:43:56.000 And five of the justices said no, for no reason.

01:44:00.000 And we know what that reason is.

01:44:02.000 We are terrified.

01:44:03.000 We don't want to die.

01:44:04.000 And we are cowards.

01:44:05.000 They will not do their jobs.

01:44:08.000 What was asked by the Solicitor General is quite simply in the 19th century, the question of birth or tourism didn't exist, to which John Roberts agreed.

01:44:18.000 And then responded, it may be a new time, but the same Constitution.

01:44:22.000 Indeed, a question is being asked as per the interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

01:44:26.000 Does this apply to To birth tourism and anchor babies.

01:44:29.000 And if they defer and say, leave it to Congress, well, no, we're asking you to interpret the intent based on the writings of the framers, what this was meant to be.

01:44:40.000 And they could overturn Wong Kim Ark.

01:44:43.000 They could apply the domicile standard, which would omit temporary visas like tourism, and it would omit illegal aliens.

01:44:51.000 And if they refuse to do that, they're abdicating their responsibilities because they're spineless cowards.

01:44:55.000 All right, that's fair enough.

01:44:56.000 Which is what it seems like they're going to do.

01:44:58.000 So again, if.

01:45:01.000 Trump has tried.

01:45:02.000 Trump has tried as the executive.

01:45:05.000 I will sign an executive order that we will not, as an executive branch, grant citizenship, as is from their branch, to illegal immigrants.

01:45:16.000 And the Democrats said, we're going to stop you from doing that.

01:45:19.000 That's weird.

01:45:21.000 Why should illegal immigrants be allowed to come in and have babies here who get citizenship?

01:45:24.000 Why should the CCP be allowed to do it?

01:45:26.000 It makes literally no sense.

01:45:27.000 It's insane.

01:45:28.000 It is an attack on this country, its borders, and its people.

01:45:31.000 And any sane person who cared about this country would simply say no.

01:45:35.000 And most of the birther tourism, it looks like, is Russia and China.

01:45:38.000 Like, these nations are supposedly our adversaries.

01:45:40.000 It's a national security threat.

01:45:42.000 It's 100% national security threat.

01:45:44.000 And the Supreme Court, most of them at least, don't care.

01:45:46.000 And it's such a slap in the face, too, because, I mean, these justices know that they have the entire MAGA base behind them on this issue.

01:45:53.000 And yet they are still cowarding on this.

01:45:56.000 Look at the Supreme Court precedent where they overturned previous Supreme Court precedent.

01:46:01.000 And this Supreme Court is one of the most feckless and pathetic.

01:46:05.000 But I get it.

01:46:06.000 Brett Kavanaugh is terrified because someone tried to murder him and his family.

01:46:09.000 Right.

01:46:09.000 Then you should resign right now, Kavanaugh.

01:46:11.000 Give Trump an opportunity to appoint someone else.

01:46:14.000 You are, you, I, you know, what they did to Kavanaugh for confirmation was insane.

01:46:17.000 Oh, it's insane.

01:46:18.000 And he's been, he's been okay.

01:46:19.000 So I don't want to rag on him.

01:46:20.000 But Amy Coney Baird has been bad.

01:46:22.000 She's been a disaster.

01:46:23.000 I mean, she was put there to overturn Roe.

01:46:23.000 Yeah.

01:46:26.000 She did that and everything else has been.

01:46:27.000 John Roberts should, should resign.

01:46:29.000 Coney Baird should resign.

01:46:30.000 And Trump should appoint some actual constitutionalists who want to go in and say, we will answer these questions.

01:46:35.000 Threats be damned.

01:46:36.000 Like Thomas and Alito do.

01:46:37.000 It's not like the Congress would, um, Do their job and.

01:46:43.000 It's not like most of them would have a.

01:46:44.000 That's true.

01:46:45.000 And then you're losing half the victories you might get, even if they are spineless.

01:46:49.000 Because at this point, let's say that did happen, the Senate would wait until after midterms.

01:46:54.000 I think.

01:46:54.000 Because Thune won't do anything.

01:46:57.000 This is the worst, best system.

01:46:59.000 He has the power, right?

01:47:01.000 Thune has the power.

01:47:02.000 Like he could overturn this filibuster thing and get so much pushed through.

01:47:06.000 He could get everything through.

01:47:08.000 But he's afraid that the Democrats are going to do exactly the thing he refuses to do and they're going to do it anyway.

01:47:13.000 There's unfortunately no answer.

01:47:15.000 Congress is immobile.

01:47:17.000 The president is constrained by hundreds of judges.

01:47:21.000 Hundreds of judges.

01:47:22.000 But let me say this.

01:47:22.000 There is some, I'll give you some hopium.

01:47:25.000 There was a very interesting article published by the New York Times where they said Trump has already won.

01:47:29.000 He will lose birthright citizenship, but he already won.

01:47:31.000 And that is the initial ruling ending universal injunctions has basically given Trump carte blanche to do anything he wants, which is very interesting.

01:47:39.000 And this seems to be a break in the system, an exploit.

01:47:43.000 Maybe exploit isn't the right word, but it works like this.

01:47:47.000 Universal injunctions should have never existed.

01:47:49.000 The idea that a lower court federal judge can issue a nationwide injunction makes no sense.

01:47:54.000 So the Supreme Court ruled you can't.

01:47:56.000 The issue was that Donald Trump, I think it was pertaining to transgender military officers or something like this.

01:48:02.000 There were two that sued, or two or three.

01:48:05.000 And then Trump said that they won.

01:48:08.000 Trump then got an appellate court to block that injunction.

01:48:12.000 But then another court in a different jurisdiction issued an identical ruling.

01:48:17.000 And they said, hold on there a minute.

01:48:18.000 How do we have two different federal judges?

01:48:21.000 Doing the same ruling and then a higher court only putting a stop on one of those injunctions while another injunction exists, this can't make sense.

01:48:28.000 So the Supreme Court said, yes, a federal court can only apply relief, can grant relief to those who have standing and sued themselves.

01:48:38.000 This will require a special class for any broad categories, which means if Trump says by executive order he is barring citizenship from anybody who is here based on birth tourism, they will sue and Trump won't fight it.

01:48:54.000 And he'll say, you know what?

01:48:55.000 You win.

01:48:56.000 Those two babies can have citizenship.

01:48:59.000 That's it.

01:49:00.000 I'm not going to appeal it.

01:49:01.000 You know why?

01:49:02.000 Because now you've got to sue on behalf of literally every single person who comes here as an anchor baby in order to grant them relief.

01:49:08.000 That's what the ACLU is so mad about in terms of suing on behalf of illegal immigrants being deported.

01:49:13.000 They are angry because if the Trump administration does not appeal, they have no opportunity to go to the Supreme Court to get a nationwide relief for all in that category.

01:49:22.000 They would have to form a class of individuals that are anchor babies or birth tourism babies.

01:49:26.000 And so if Trump decides, okay, Those two individuals won, and I won't appeal.

01:49:31.000 There will be no higher court.

01:49:32.000 There will be no precedent set by any higher court nationwide.

01:49:35.000 So basically, Trump can keep issuing executive orders every single time, tweaking them a little bit, and they will have to keep re suing.

01:49:43.000 So these two individuals who get relief as birth to us and babies, Trump can issue a new executive order that encompasses them, but it's a different order and not to sue again.

01:49:53.000 And it'll keep happening.

01:49:54.000 Like Cuomo did with free speech when he shut down churches.

01:49:57.000 So the court said you have to reopen.

01:49:58.000 He says, okay, and then issued a new executive order shutting down churches again.

01:50:02.000 You can just keep doing it.

01:50:03.000 Yeah, and that was a crazy case too because, what was it, like a Jewish leader and a Catholic leader brought that case to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court said, you know, for an emergency ruling to open the churches.

01:50:17.000 And the Supreme Court was like, oh, it's moot because they're open now.

01:50:21.000 And they were like, no, no, it's still not moot.

01:50:23.000 It's still not moot.

01:50:25.000 You know, that was a crazy ruling.

01:50:27.000 That was so infuriating.

01:50:28.000 I was so angry just as a, just living in Brooklyn as a Catholic person.

01:50:33.000 I was just so mad that the Catholic Church complied.

01:50:36.000 I was like, what are you doing?

01:50:37.000 You're seriously denying the Eucharist to everybody because of Cuomo?

01:50:42.000 Like, how does the Catholic Church have no teeth?

01:50:45.000 That was infuriating, too.

01:50:46.000 We're going to go to Rumble Rants and Super Chats.

01:50:49.000 Don't forget that uncensored portion of the show is coming up at 10 p.m. at rumble.com slash TimCastIRL.

01:50:54.000 But for now, let's grab your comments.

01:50:56.000 We got this from Dark Pines Tim uses to buy a Cantina Chicken Taco at Taco Bell, also good ridden spondy.

01:51:02.000 Indeed, yesterday we had, or was it two days ago?

01:51:05.000 We had a great deal of the Cantina Chicken Taco.

01:51:07.000 It's the best thing Taco Bell has.

01:51:09.000 It's an actual corn tortilla with it's better chicken and it's got cheese melted to it.

01:51:15.000 It is delicious.

01:51:17.000 Taco Bell's great.

01:51:18.000 I love Taco Bell's.

01:51:19.000 I don't know what the food is made of.

01:51:21.000 I'd assume some kind of cardboard.

01:51:22.000 It's not even food.

01:51:23.000 It tastes great.

01:51:24.000 You don't have to know.

01:51:27.000 We're Americans.

01:51:27.000 Just enjoy.

01:51:28.000 You just eat it.

01:51:29.000 Just trust them.

01:51:30.000 Yeah.

01:51:31.000 Blave Kaiser says, I actually think the machine state wants low voter turnout again.

01:51:35.000 No more politics as pop culture.

01:51:36.000 I agree.

01:51:37.000 That's another component of this.

01:51:38.000 No more politics as pop culture.

01:51:40.000 We want people watching sports again.

01:51:41.000 And you know what?

01:51:42.000 I almost don't disagree.

01:51:44.000 Like, I was saying this before when I was a kid.

01:51:45.000 I was like, I wish people cared about politics.

01:51:47.000 Then they did.

01:51:47.000 And I was like, that was a mistake.

01:51:49.000 There are way too many dumb people.

01:51:51.000 Only those who care about politics should be involved in politics.

01:51:55.000 Big Lig says, Phil is right.

01:51:57.000 The Zumerwaffen are ascendant.

01:51:59.000 No compromise, only victory.

01:52:01.000 P.S. Libby and I are from the same town.

01:52:03.000 Oh, my goodness.

01:52:04.000 Hanover, Massachusetts?

01:52:07.000 How could that be?

01:52:07.000 Well, well, well.

01:52:10.000 507 says, The only time I've ever seen our government come together and agree on anything was when AIPAC had them ban TikTok.

01:52:16.000 There's no unseeing that will affect Zoomers forever.

01:52:20.000 There is an unseeing that.

01:52:21.000 Most people don't care, and most people are driven by what makes them popular.

01:52:25.000 So if TikTok starts promoting non political content, Zoomers are going to completely forget whatever.

01:52:34.000 If TikTok went in the algorithm today and said, We're going to make it so that only videos pertaining to Casperu coffee will be seen, you'd have literally every Zoomer drinking Casperu and claiming how great it was.

01:52:45.000 There'd be some dissenters, of course, but they wouldn't matter because most of them are just going to fall in line.

01:52:48.000 It's incredibly well, it'd be good for Casper, but it's disheartening in general, though.

01:52:54.000 And it's not meant to target Zoomers.

01:52:56.000 It's just that Zoomers are on TikTok.

01:52:56.000 It's for any generation.

01:52:59.000 A three second attention span.

01:53:00.000 Rabo says Dan Bongino's podcast is kind of pro war, or at least the war in Iran.

01:53:05.000 And Crowder, I think, also supports the Iran.

01:53:06.000 Good point.

01:53:07.000 Good point.

01:53:10.000 Yeah.

01:53:11.000 Is there their argument, or are they essentially just pro Trump and that's why?

01:53:16.000 Yeah.

01:53:17.000 Yeah.

01:53:18.000 Maybe.

01:53:19.000 Jay Dirtbiker says Best South Park episode is Major Boobage, where they make fun of the movie Heavy Metal and Kenny gets high on cat pee.

01:53:26.000 It's called Cheezing because it's fun to do.

01:53:31.000 They had a lot of good ones.

01:53:33.000 When Cartman eats all the skin off the chicken and then goes to the bathroom and thinks he died.

01:53:39.000 That's a good one.

01:53:40.000 I like the Dead Celebrity one in 2009 when everybody was like dying.

01:53:44.000 Oh, right, right, right, right.

01:53:46.000 Man.

01:53:46.000 Who invented the toilet?

01:53:48.000 But he sat on it the wrong way, like reverse.

01:53:53.000 All right, let's see.

01:53:53.000 Tim, you keep talking about Strauss Howe generations and then use the fake marketing markers.

01:53:59.000 A generation is 20 to 25 years, according to Strauss Howe, and post millennials, Gen Z, are 2008 to 2028 births.

01:54:08.000 Strauss Howe generational theory isn't about the accepted generations we get.

01:54:14.000 There's a bunch of different interpretations of what generations are, but they're waves because people are born all the time.

01:54:21.000 But, you know, they were calling millennials echo boomers for a while because they were the children of boomers.

01:54:26.000 But that means in between boomers and millennials, you got Gen X.

01:54:30.000 So it's waves.

01:54:32.000 It's, you know, the Strassau generational theory is not about necessarily just generations of people.

01:54:38.000 It's about how about every 80 years you have four seasons by 20 year periods.

01:54:43.000 Indeed.

01:54:45.000 But point taken.

01:54:47.000 The weird thing about boomers and millennials, or boomers, millennials, and Gen X is Gen X and millennials were both children of boomers.

01:54:56.000 Gen X?

01:54:57.000 Older boomers, but again, it's a wave, meaning like half of Gen X will come from older boomers, but silent generation.

01:55:05.000 And then millennials are almost entirely from boomers and not silent generation.

01:55:09.000 Right.

01:55:10.000 But a ton of Gen Xers are from boomers.

01:55:12.000 In fact, but it's because, no, no.

01:55:17.000 Maybe older boomers.

01:55:18.000 My parents were boomers.

01:55:19.000 Yeah.

01:55:19.000 My parents were boomers too.

01:55:20.000 And my younger brothers are millennials.

01:55:23.000 And they have the same parents as me.

01:55:25.000 That's why I'm saying it's not just on and off.

01:55:25.000 It's waves.

01:55:28.000 Well, they have the same dad and/or mom.

01:55:31.000 All right.

01:55:32.000 But they were also boomers.

01:55:34.000 Seb says: Homestead property tax is not the primary revenue for most of Florida counties.

01:55:38.000 Property tax is not the same as homestead property tax.

01:55:40.000 Carve it out, and it's only about 9 to 15% of the average county budget.

01:55:44.000 Police, fire, roads, and most schools budgeted are not dependent on homestead.

01:55:48.000 You need to clarify what the difference was.

01:55:48.000 What's the difference, though?

01:55:54.000 RE3 Tard says, was hoping you still did live shows.

01:55:59.000 Happy birthday, Ian.

01:56:00.000 It's my birthday, too.

01:56:01.000 Jesse Dalba claims to have been deplatformed and debanked like Fuentes.

01:56:05.000 He has a give, send, go.

01:56:06.000 Jesse Dalba, biker, YouTuber.

01:56:09.000 We do live shows.

01:56:10.000 We're planning some.

01:56:11.000 We're trying to figure out how we're going to do it, but there's some stuff always in the works.

01:56:15.000 Visited the Casper location in Martinsburg today, and it's nearly complete.

01:56:20.000 But these things always take a lot longer.

01:56:21.000 And I will say, surprisingly, As it took us years and we eventually gave up on trying to do it ourselves, we teamed up with Mamba Collectibles and John, shout out, who is making it all work now, has gotten it nearly to the point of opening and it's just basically about to open.

01:56:37.000 It's amazing inside.

01:56:38.000 I'm super excited.

01:56:39.000 It's going to be sandwiches.

01:56:40.000 That's right.

01:56:41.000 And ice cream.

01:56:42.000 Ice cream.

01:56:43.000 And there's a little play area for kids.

01:56:45.000 Really?

01:56:45.000 You're going to have ice cream?

01:56:46.000 You should serve my favorite My House confection that I make.

01:56:50.000 What's that?

01:56:50.000 Sure.

01:56:51.000 It's Whipperdoodles.

01:56:52.000 Whipperdoodles.

01:56:53.000 Whipperdoodles.

01:56:54.000 I don't even know what that is.

01:56:55.000 It's chocolate chip cookies with whipped cream in the middle, frozen.

01:57:02.000 It's better than ice cream because.

01:57:04.000 I don't believe you.

01:57:05.000 Okay.

01:57:05.000 Ice cream is spectacular.

01:57:07.000 It's lighter than ice cream.

01:57:09.000 It's whipped cream, it's frozen whipped cream.

01:57:11.000 Okay.

01:57:11.000 Oh.

01:57:12.000 I had a really great dessert.

01:57:13.000 Not cool whip.

01:57:14.000 Not cool whip.

01:57:14.000 No, homemade whipped cream.

01:57:15.000 Okay.

01:57:16.000 It was a thing that we had at a family, I think it was Christmas, where it was basically lightly sweetened whipped cream with thin chocolate wafers, making this very light dessert that was delicious.

01:57:30.000 So, you could eat like three bowls and you're only getting like 400 calories.

01:57:33.000 Amazing.

01:57:34.000 Yeah, like massive, just heapings of whipped cream.

01:57:36.000 Well, I make these big, giant cookies and then I put like this much whipped cream in the middle.

01:57:41.000 And then I put another cookie on the bottom and then I freeze it.

01:57:43.000 It's like an oatmeal cream pie.

01:57:44.000 Make some gluten free ones.

01:57:46.000 Make some gluten free ones.

01:57:47.000 Yeah, otherwise I can't eat them.

01:57:49.000 Are you like allergic or you just don't eat it?

01:57:52.000 I was having weakness and muscle stiffness and I did a bunch of elimination diet stuff.

01:57:59.000 And then when it was gluten that was removed, all the pain went away.

01:58:02.000 Okay.

01:58:03.000 I'll make, I'll get some gluten free flour.

01:58:05.000 And then a few months ago, I ate a Mexican pizza from Taco Bell because I thought it was a corn tortilla.

01:58:12.000 And then the next day, I was having muscle stiffness and pain again.

01:58:15.000 And I was like, man, I was like, did I eat flour or something?

01:58:19.000 I don't know.

01:58:19.000 Maybe went to Taco Bell and had another Mexican pizza.

01:58:22.000 And then the next day, it was worse.

01:58:24.000 And then I'm like, is Mexican pizza flour?

01:58:26.000 And I looked it up and it is.

01:58:28.000 And I was like, man, elimination diet.

01:58:30.000 It's true.

01:58:32.000 And then, like, my only theory is that, like, I don't know, Asians don't eat bread.

01:58:36.000 And I'm like, maybe just my genetics.

01:58:39.000 I like rice bread.

01:58:40.000 Taco Bell should make some.

01:58:41.000 I eat rice, no problem.

01:58:41.000 I love rice.

01:58:42.000 But wheat bread does me no good.

01:58:44.000 And we tried, at first, my wife and I, she was like, maybe it's the American glyphosate or whatever.

01:58:50.000 So we bought heritage organic, fresh, like stone ground.

01:58:54.000 Nope.

01:58:55.000 Same problem.

01:58:56.000 And then bought like European bio organic, ultra rare 2000.

01:59:00.000 Didn't work.

01:59:01.000 I eat wheat.

01:59:03.000 I messed up.

01:59:05.000 In pain, foggy, no good.

01:59:07.000 No, me gusta.

01:59:09.000 Corn, no problem.

01:59:10.000 Corn's great.

01:59:12.000 All right.

01:59:13.000 What do we got here?

01:59:15.000 Latumio says, hot take.

01:59:17.000 Starlink was in the way of Artemis 2 launch.

01:59:19.000 Elon said, hit him.

01:59:21.000 Navy used weird XB mystery plane and used sets as target practice, hence the unknown explosion.

01:59:27.000 I don't know.

01:59:28.000 I think they can just move Starlink satellites.

01:59:30.000 They can.

01:59:31.000 Yeah.

01:59:32.000 So, you know.

01:59:35.000 Peter Gohock says, hey, Tim, geophysicist Stephen Burns said, we're going through 3Eye Atlas's debris field, and that's probably what most people are seeing.

01:59:44.000 Sounds plausible.

01:59:45.000 You mean probes from the spaceship?

01:59:47.000 Are being shot down by our Space Force.

01:59:50.000 That makes more sense.

01:59:51.000 Still very black pilled on space travel.

01:59:53.000 On space travel.

01:59:55.000 Intergalactic space travel.

01:59:56.000 Tumio says Asmin Gold on Tim Poole on Joe Rogan.

01:59:59.000 Asmin versus Rogan on Poole.

02:00:02.000 Sure.

02:00:03.000 I don't think Asmin Gold travels, does he?

02:00:05.000 No.

02:00:06.000 Yeah, because we've reached out to him.

02:00:09.000 He's great.

02:00:11.000 We could talk about Warcraft and where it all went wrong.

02:00:13.000 He doesn't like to travel much at all, if I understand correctly.

02:00:15.000 That dude must be swimming in cash.

02:00:15.000 Yeah.

02:00:18.000 He's probably, yeah, he doesn't spend any money either.

02:00:21.000 He lives in the same place and his house, he barely cleaned.

02:00:24.000 Same thing is true for, like, doesn't Bezos live in like a regular house or something?

02:00:30.000 I don't know.

02:00:31.000 There was this post that I saw.

02:00:32.000 It was really bad.

02:00:33.000 I mean, Bezos has like a super yacht.

02:00:36.000 Indeed.

02:00:36.000 Doesn't he?

02:00:37.000 But there was a post that said, at a certain amount of money, your standard of living won't deviate from the wealthiest people on the planet.

02:00:44.000 So they were like, the thing about wealth is that Bezos wakes up and he does work, but the work has a massive impact.

02:00:52.000 You wake up and do work.

02:00:53.000 You want to find the point where you are making enough money to where you have the same standard of living as any billionaire because, again, you do at a certain amount of money.

02:01:01.000 You don't need to worry about owning one of the biggest corporations on the planet once you reach a certain level.

02:01:05.000 If you're Bezos and you keep working and you do, that's fine.

02:01:08.000 But the point of it was it is very possible to get to the point where you never have to work again.

02:01:14.000 And 10 mil in the bank.

02:01:17.000 And it's just, it's in wealth management, you know?

02:01:21.000 And then you'll be generating so much interest historically that.

02:01:26.000 What is 10 mil going to net you?

02:01:28.000 You'll probably do $300,000 a year.

02:01:29.000 Yep.

02:01:30.000 And you can live off that and just pay for whatever your expenses are, you know?

02:01:35.000 Yeah, not in the bank, though, in the market.

02:01:37.000 Sure.

02:01:37.000 Where you will see a historic return of about 7%.

02:01:40.000 And that's why Trump's always bragging about the Dow.

02:01:43.000 But, I mean, it's exponential.

02:01:47.000 We're at what, $50,000?

02:01:49.000 We're on there, yeah.

02:01:50.000 So, by next year, it's got to go up another $5,000.

02:01:53.000 Then by next year, it's got to go up another $5.7,000, then $6,000, then $7,000, then $8,000, then $10,000.

02:01:59.000 In 10 years, the Dow is going to be at 178,000.

02:02:03.000 I mean, there's going to be corrections.

02:02:04.000 That system will continue.

02:02:05.000 There's going to be corrections, but, you know.

02:02:08.000 Yeah, but even, it's funny, if you didn't touch your portfolio in 2008 when it crashed, you had recovered by four years.

02:02:15.000 Yeah, it's like it was going up and crashed, and then it was like, boop.

02:02:15.000 Yeah.

02:02:18.000 So the people who panicked, they lost everything.

02:02:21.000 People who just said, whatever.

02:02:21.000 Just don't sell.

02:02:22.000 Well, you can't panic when the stock market goes down.

02:02:25.000 You just got to hang on, otherwise, you lose everything.

02:02:27.000 Yeah.

02:02:27.000 Indeed.

02:05:19.000 The other members of the show are currently dicking about.

02:05:24.000 But what do you want to talk about, Jane?

02:05:27.000 Well, going back to the Pam Bondi thing, the Daily Mail actually reported that Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal of Pam Bondi.

02:05:34.000 Oops, sorry.

02:05:36.000 Daily Mail reported that Trump's reasoning for the sudden dismissal of Pam Bondi.

02:05:40.000 Was in part because the president believes that she tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI's efforts to release investigative documents that related to his relationship with the alleged CCP spy.

02:05:51.000 And now there's not real clarity, according to them, about why she did that.

02:05:55.000 It's apparent that they have some type of friendship, but that's what they're reporting at least.

02:06:00.000 Bro, I tried giving Pam Bondi a chance and I was very nice, but what the fuck is Trump doing?

02:06:07.000 What, with Bondi?

02:06:08.000 With all of these people, man.

02:06:10.000 Do you think that it's better?

02:06:12.000 Do you think it's better the cast of characters he has in the second term or in his first term?

02:06:18.000 Because the first term was all like swamp creatures.

02:06:20.000 Yeah, that was terrible too.

02:06:21.000 The first term was not good.

02:06:23.000 I tried to overcorrect.

02:06:24.000 To be fair, I mean, like, I don't understand Christy Gnome and Pam Bondi.

02:06:27.000 Cash, I do get.

02:06:28.000 Cash and Dan.

02:06:30.000 Christy Gnome was confusing too.

02:06:32.000 Yeah, I didn't quite understand that either.

02:06:34.000 It was like, really?

02:06:36.000 When the Democrats started calling her Ice Barbie, I was like, yeah, it works.

02:06:40.000 I think they did.

02:06:41.000 I think it was just because she was loyal to Trump, is what he was.

02:06:45.000 I get that she was loyal, but also, I guess, her level of vanity is similar to Trump's level of vanity.

02:06:52.000 There's a lot of it with those advertisements where she's just riding off into the sunset with her hair extensions and cowboy hat.

02:06:59.000 The fact that she had to get dressed up and cosplay for whatever she was talking about was just embarrassing.

02:07:04.000 She looked like Western Barbie.

02:07:06.000 I know that you guys don't remember Western Barbie, but Western Barbie, you'd press a button on her back and she'd wink at you.

02:07:11.000 Or Polly Pocket.

02:07:12.000 Yes.

02:07:13.000 And Mighty Max.

02:07:14.000 Yes.

02:07:16.000 I liked all of these things.

02:07:17.000 Well, I think we're sort of in uncharted territory here where this influencer space has now gone into a presidential administration.

02:07:25.000 Like, these are no longer just presidential appointees.

02:07:28.000 These are social media figures.

02:07:30.000 These are sometimes podcasters who are now in these, you know, very, very influential positions within our government.

02:07:35.000 And these aren't, you know, small roles either.

02:07:38.000 Like, the Attorney General of the United States, especially in this context of, you know, the level of lawfare and weaponization that she had to deal with, that's a massive undertaking.

02:07:47.000 I just want everything to be normal again.

02:07:49.000 And I think that's how a lot of people have felt for a long time.

02:07:53.000 Like, I just go watch football, guys.

02:07:58.000 No more weird, woke, stupid, take the knee bullshit.

02:08:00.000 Regular old football.

02:08:01.000 Without all the trans flags and football.

02:08:04.000 And then the rest of us will have arguments over foreign policy.

02:08:08.000 Yeah, I mean, we had a situation where the people who were telling us this isn't normal were also giving us stuff that was really not normal.

02:08:17.000 Like a whole bunch of trans kids, they're like, that's normal.

02:08:20.000 Transing your kids, that's normal.

02:08:22.000 Million abortions a year, that's what's normal, folks.

02:08:25.000 That's what's really normal.

02:08:28.000 Men with boobs, massive border insecurity, like, this is the normal stuff.

02:08:32.000 So we had a, like, the thing with where you had so many people despising Trump and you still do, they weren't providing anything better, they were providing everything worse.

02:08:43.000 You know, yeah, I do think I wonder if Trump's, you know, attempts at this during his second his second term were him trying to find people that weren't the whole, you know, deep state swamp creatures.

02:09:02.000 And just that there are very few people that are competent and will do the job and are not already deep state swamp.

02:09:13.000 people.

02:09:13.000 I mean, he did, he's got you know, beset is good.

02:09:16.000 Um, Sachs seems good, David Sachs.

02:09:19.000 Um, the people that he's got to come in from industry that are generally they seem like they're better, but they don't want to be in the administration.

02:09:30.000 No, these people want to do what's best for their industry, and yeah, that's how they're doing it.

02:09:33.000 Yeah, and and and I get that, but like these people are like, like I said, he's he's very competent, he's probably the smartest guy that that Trump's got.

02:09:42.000 Um, but I just feel like I'm of the opinion that.

02:09:48.000 You know, most people that are successful, you can't just replace with someone else and they'll be successful.

02:09:53.000 So, like, getting a really, really good attorney general that can do the job is a whole lot easier said than done than trying to find an attorney general that can do the job that isn't, you know, in bed with the bureaucracy or hasn't been a major player in the bureaucracy.

02:10:11.000 That probably is exceedingly hard.

02:10:14.000 And, like, to her credit, too, there were some subpoenas, there were some investigations, but when you're talking about that versus You know, what they did to President Trump and literally got very close to putting him in prison until he died.

02:10:25.000 I mean, that just looks like political theater in comparison.

02:10:28.000 And so I think, you know, the American people who voted for President Trump, they're expecting these people behind bars.

02:10:33.000 They're expecting the Biden family behind bars, the Clinton family behind bars.

02:10:37.000 And anything less is really a disappointment to a lot of people, even if it may seem, you know, somewhat unrealistic for people who know just the level of bureaucracy that you're dealing with.

02:10:46.000 But I think, again, to that sort of like average person who just voted for Donald Trump, It is disappointing.

02:10:52.000 And I don't really know if there's a solution forward to necessarily fix that.

02:10:55.000 But the problem is, there wasn't a solution.

02:10:57.000 Like, Donald Trump wasn't the solution, right?

02:11:00.000 Like, what they were hoping for was never going to happen.

02:11:04.000 Like, Donald Trump wasn't going to get in and just be like, all right, you in jail, and just like start tossing people into jail.

02:11:12.000 And people, because people vote for a king, they vote for a guy that can do whatever they, whatever emotionally is satisfying to them.

02:11:21.000 And that's not how DC works.

02:11:23.000 And this is a point that I make regularly on the show.

02:11:26.000 Nobody likes how the sausage is made.

02:11:29.000 Nobody likes the fact that DC works slowly.

02:11:32.000 Nobody likes the fact that the reason there are only two terms.

02:11:36.000 For Congress people and are two years for Congress terms and six years for Senate terms is because the people that are elected to represent the people are going to do what their people want.

02:11:49.000 That's why the House is full of clowns, right?

02:11:53.000 The Senate is generally more, it works slower, it's more deliberative because they got longer and they aren't technically supposed to represent the people.

02:12:02.000 But the people expect results right away.

02:12:06.000 They want, I mean, people were calling, People were saying, oh, Trump's done six months after he got into office.

02:12:12.000 Six months after he's sworn in, they're like, oh, it's over.

02:12:15.000 It's done.

02:12:16.000 He's not going to do anything.

02:12:17.000 Nothing's going to happen at all.

02:12:18.000 And they ignore all the stuff that he actually was doing, you know?

02:12:23.000 And I don't think that Donald Trump has delivered on the things that he said he was going to, but I think that he's far and away better than the other option.

02:12:30.000 And whether people want to admit it or not, you are actually left with only two options when it comes down to voting.

02:12:37.000 Well, I do think what history has shown us is to never bet against Donald Trump.

02:12:41.000 You know, he is the comeback guy.

02:12:43.000 And I mean, they tried to kill him.

02:12:45.000 And by the grace of God, he's still alive.

02:12:47.000 And I do think there's some, you know, divine intervention there for sure.

02:12:51.000 How could there not be?

02:12:53.000 But I do trust in President Trump.

02:12:55.000 And I do think that there's a way forward through all this.

02:12:59.000 We're in a bit of a chaotic point for sure.

02:13:02.000 There's a lot going on in the world and in Washington.

02:13:05.000 But I trust in the president.

02:13:06.000 I think he will deliver.

02:13:08.000 And I want him to win in Iran.

02:13:12.000 I. Want the United States to be dominant in the energy sector.

02:13:15.000 I don't want China to get a foothold.

02:13:17.000 I don't want the weird, creepy bullshit that they do to become dominant internationally and the Belt and Road Initiative and all of the shit they've tried doing, which is nasty and fucked up.

02:13:26.000 We are better people than they are.

02:13:28.000 The Chinese people are fantastic.

02:13:29.000 We always love the people of the country, but their government is fucking shit.

02:13:32.000 And I don't want to live in a planet where they win.

02:13:34.000 If soft power isn't getting the job done, I don't want war.

02:13:37.000 I hope this works out.

02:13:38.000 I'm going to root for my president to win.

02:13:40.000 Yeah, I'm 100% pro America.

02:13:45.000 And the idea that rooting against America is somehow America first is absolutely ridiculous.

02:13:51.000 It makes no sense at all to me.

02:13:52.000 The people that were like, oh, we're America first, so I wanna see Iran win.

02:13:57.000 I wanna see Iran humble the United States because we should focus only on the United States.

02:14:02.000 Like, look, man, if you're America first, you want to keep the petrodollar.

02:14:08.000 Like, if you're America first, you want to keep the United States Navy.

02:14:12.000 Keeping the seas open for trans, for at least until we can transition from the system, if that's the case, because cutting it off right now just means we collapse.

02:14:21.000 Yep.

02:14:22.000 No, I mean, we have to, we have to, if we're going to do this Iran thing, which we're doing, it must be one.

02:14:22.000 Yeah.

02:14:27.000 Otherwise, you sound like what you were just describing, Phil, the people who are like, we want to be, we want Iran to humble America.

02:14:33.000 Those are the same people that say America is at fault for 9 11.

02:14:37.000 They are.

02:14:37.000 It makes no sense, you know?

02:14:37.000 Yeah.

02:14:39.000 The people that, and, and look, I, I, and some of those people are the same people who are saying that.

02:14:39.000 Yeah.

02:14:44.000 And I like you can make the argument, hey, look, blowback is a real thing and unintended consequences are a real thing without saying the United States deserved it.

02:14:44.000 Yeah.

02:14:44.000 Actually.

02:14:53.000 You can say, look, the United States never deserved anything bad to happen.

02:14:56.000 No, I don't think so.

02:14:57.000 You know, and I think there are too many people that get lost in that thinking that because the United States has done things in the world to try to better its position and try to fight communism and all sorts of different things that have been, you know, public policy, international policy, foreign policy.

02:15:18.000 Because they've done those things, other countries do those things too.

02:15:21.000 The United States is not unique in this, and it doesn't make the United States uniquely bad.

02:15:25.000 The United States is actually uniquely good.

02:15:27.000 We still give away more money than, like, basically all the other countries on earth combined.

02:15:32.000 And they still hate us for it.

02:15:33.000 Yeah.

02:15:34.000 So, and that's part of why we shouldn't give them money.

02:15:37.000 We shouldn't.

02:15:38.000 Because if you look at our allies now, like, you know, I'm not in favor of having war, but, like, what the hell, UK, France, what's your problem?

02:15:47.000 I mean, the UK has a lot of internal problems as well.

02:15:47.000 Yeah.

02:15:50.000 They have a lot of internal problems.

02:15:51.000 But, like, at the same time, what kind of allies are you with friends like these?

02:15:51.000 Yes.

02:15:51.000 Last hour, but.

02:15:56.000 You know what I'm saying?

02:15:56.000 Well, it's very clear that, you know, our values are starting to stray apart between places like the UK and France.

02:16:02.000 Yeah.

02:16:03.000 I mean, I think we're, you know, we're obviously being invaded slowly but surely, but they're already fully conquered at this point.

02:16:09.000 It's like, how can you say that's really like a country that you could then trust fully when they've allowed this disaster to happen?

02:16:18.000 A disaster that you're, you know, facing, which is an existential crisis to the very fabric of your nation.

02:16:23.000 Yeah.

02:16:24.000 I mean, look, the, the, the, Way that NATO is organized now, the fact that it took Donald Trump doing all the things that he's done to get NATO countries to spend even 2% of their GDP on their own defense.

02:16:37.000 If you look at, like, I was watching a, it was some streamer or whatever, just a little clip, and the totality of NATO, like all of the countries, when it comes to their military strength, is basically half of what the United States has.

02:16:54.000 Like, the US has double everything that NATO has.

02:16:59.000 NATO combined, not just one country, but like all of NATO.

02:17:03.000 The United States is the power of NATO.

02:17:05.000 And the fact that the United States says, look, we could use some help here, we want some help here.

02:17:09.000 And they're like, no, no, no.

02:17:10.000 But the United States has been the biggest proper up of the Ukraine war.

02:17:16.000 And that's on behalf of Europe.

02:17:18.000 The theory is that we're going to leave NATO to go to war with Turkey.

02:17:21.000 To go to war with Turkey.

02:17:23.000 Yeah.

02:17:25.000 Well, we'll see.

02:17:26.000 Let's bring in some callers.

02:17:28.000 Let's start with Maximus Retardius.

02:17:30.000 We know.

02:17:31.000 What's up, Maximus?

02:17:32.000 Hey, Tim.

02:17:33.000 How's it going, guys?

02:17:34.000 What's going on, bud?

02:17:35.000 How's it going?

02:17:37.000 Well, my question is relatively open.

02:17:41.000 But imagine a bill where agencies can suggest best practices, but they must measure outcomes.

02:17:48.000 If someone can achieve a better measurable result, whether with a creative solution or an alternative method, that should also count as complying to the regulation.

02:17:57.000 If the regulation doesn't improve the actual outcome, the why they're doing it, it expires or it needs to be re justified and re voted on.

02:18:11.000 What?

02:18:12.000 Yeah, that went over my head.

02:18:15.000 So essentially, right now, with the way regulations are set up, you have to have a three point safety harness.

02:18:20.000 You could drive into California with a five point safety harness, which is objectively safer, and they can still give you a seatbelt ticket.

02:18:27.000 Yeah.

02:18:29.000 That's stupid.

02:18:31.000 Yeah, no, so regulation should have to have a measurable standard and result in which they are supposed to get better at, or they fail and are no longer a regulation.

02:18:42.000 I mean, I like the idea.

02:18:47.000 Go on, whether it be what?

02:18:50.000 Well, whether it be safety things or just regular, like environmental protection things.

02:18:55.000 I mean, there's a lot of things that have to do with eagles that measurably have saved eagles' lives.

02:19:00.000 I mean, single states have gone from four nesting pairs to 1,000.

02:19:03.000 There's things with septic that just don't exist.

02:19:06.000 There's multiple different agencies.

02:19:08.000 Regulation should be goal oriented, not specific, right?

02:19:13.000 Right.

02:19:13.000 Like the regulation should be.

02:19:14.000 Because three companies push them to actually have this as the regulated thing that you have to install.

02:19:22.000 I understand.

02:19:22.000 Right.

02:19:23.000 So you say you must have a safety equipment to prevent falls.

02:19:28.000 You know, that way you could have this or better.

02:19:31.000 Instead, like the way you're describing it, is they mandate a lesser secure thing just because that's what they codified.

02:19:38.000 Right.

02:19:39.000 And the seatbelt just happened to be the first safety thing for a car that came.

02:19:42.000 And there's some cars nowadays that are probably safer without a seatbelt because of the airbag technology.

02:19:47.000 Five point harnesses.

02:19:50.000 What do you do?

02:19:50.000 That would be another one.

02:19:51.000 Like you pull it over your head?

02:19:52.000 Yeah.

02:19:52.000 Like a roller coaster.

02:19:53.000 Like NASCAR or something?

02:19:54.000 Yeah, roller coaster bars.

02:19:56.000 You sit down and.

02:19:57.000 That would be so uncomfy.

02:19:59.000 If you rolled over, you'd be screwed.

02:20:03.000 Yeah.

02:20:03.000 But honestly, I parallel parked with Libby today.

02:20:06.000 So that five point harness might have been it.

02:20:08.000 I apologize.

02:20:11.000 You should.

02:20:12.000 Get a Tesla, they do that for you.

02:20:14.000 The Tesla does it for me, it does it, it does it quite well.

02:20:17.000 Yeah, oh, we were part we were parallel parked at uh, I was just trying to get way too close to the curb.

02:20:24.000 That's all.

02:20:25.000 She was good, I'm trying to get way too.

02:20:26.000 I'm giving her a harder.

02:20:27.000 She was good.

02:20:28.000 Did you hit the the wheel?

02:20:30.000 What did you hit the wheel on the curb?

02:20:32.000 Not, not like, not like I didn't slam into it, I knew it was there.

02:20:36.000 Did you and I stopped?

02:20:37.000 She topped it, I tapped it.

02:20:39.000 Scraped the wheels, then nah, there bumpers are for bumping.

02:20:41.000 Yeah, there we go.

02:20:43.000 That's why they're called bumpers.

02:20:45.000 I hear your point, man.

02:20:45.000 Yeah.

02:20:46.000 Did you want to add anything to that or shout anything out?

02:20:49.000 Just check me out at Winchworm Inc.

02:20:52.000 And Phil, you got to check out 21 Pilots, but the story lore.

02:20:56.000 21 Pilots?

02:20:57.000 The band?

02:20:58.000 Yeah, they have an actual story that has been playing out for the last 12 years of their music.

02:21:02.000 It's all one cohesive universe.

02:21:04.000 That sounds terrible.

02:21:06.000 I don't even like.

02:21:07.000 What Angels and Airwaves wanted to do?

02:21:09.000 I don't even like.

02:21:11.000 What was it called?

02:21:12.000 Like concept albums?

02:21:13.000 The last concept album that I liked was like Operation Mindcrime.

02:21:17.000 By Queensrank from like 1998.

02:21:19.000 I'm not a big concept album person.

02:21:23.000 It's tough.

02:21:23.000 It's a big story.

02:21:24.000 Well, thanks for calling in, brother.

02:21:26.000 Thank you.

02:21:26.000 Sorry, man.

02:21:27.000 How are you doing, bud?

02:21:27.000 Thank you, sir.

02:21:28.000 12 years is a long time.

02:21:29.000 All right.

02:21:30.000 Next up, we've got Jafar Al Khafar.

02:21:34.000 Is that how you say it?

02:21:34.000 Jafar Al Khafar.

02:21:36.000 Oh.

02:21:39.000 What's up, man?

02:21:41.000 Assalamu alaikum.

02:21:42.000 Sorry about that.

02:21:48.000 Whatever.

02:21:48.000 It's been a long time since I've done Arabic.

02:21:50.000 However, you say it.

02:21:51.000 I was an Arabic linguist for the Air Force.

02:21:53.000 So, my question is for mainly Tim because you talk about this a lot, but everybody else, I want to hear your ideas on it.

02:22:03.000 You mentioned the RPM CPM on Erica Kurt content.

02:22:06.000 Could it be a high return because it is mostly female audience and they are highly susceptible to marketing so the companies know they will reach very gullible people who are sad, lonely women with this very disposable income?

02:22:19.000 RPM.

02:22:20.000 RPM is by subject, not by gender.

02:22:22.000 You can check RPMs by gender, and they're fairly flat.

02:22:28.000 Subject, like, yeah, it's just that's not really advertising works.

02:22:35.000 The insinuation, if that was true, it's that marketing companies would be specifically going on Google and typing in women, which is not the case for most advertising.

02:22:46.000 Maybe to a certain factor, but I wouldn't say to a factor of 4X.

02:22:49.000 That makes no sense.

02:22:54.000 Like, typically, if you put it this way, I'll put it like this advertisers don't care as much about gender.

02:22:59.000 That's why they started marketing makeup to guys.

02:23:06.000 They want to sell.

02:23:07.000 So they're going to go on and say, find me whoever will buy this, and it will lean male as well.

02:23:18.000 So, it's mainly just because it's Erica Kirk content?

02:23:22.000 It seems so.

02:23:23.000 It seems strange.

02:23:27.000 That's really, that's odd.

02:23:27.000 All right.

02:23:31.000 But yeah, that's about it.

02:23:33.000 Sorry.

02:23:33.000 This is a boring question.

02:23:35.000 Yeah.

02:23:36.000 You have to get into the intricacies of how Google ads work.

02:23:40.000 And there's no reason to go in and limit your market to women, you just want to sell maximally.

02:23:46.000 So, yeah, I don't know.

02:23:51.000 Maybe, but that would imply that guys aren't buying things, which I don't think is the case.

02:23:55.000 I guess it depends on what you're selling.

02:23:56.000 Yeah.

02:23:57.000 Guys don't tend to buy tampacks, for example.

02:24:01.000 Yeah.

02:24:02.000 But a jump from like news commentary, which is five to eight, to $20 is nuts.

02:24:11.000 Anything you want to shout out?

02:24:13.000 I mean, I stream on Rumble every day under the same name, Jafar Uncle Fire, and just talk about whatever.

02:24:21.000 Cool, cool man.

02:24:23.000 Well, thanks for calling in, brother.

02:24:23.000 Right on.

02:24:25.000 Yeah, wonderful evening.

02:24:26.000 You as well.

02:24:27.000 So, like for Google Ads, we've been advertising for a long time.

02:24:32.000 You can choose by gender, but then the question is with an algorithm that will choose the best customer for your product, I've never, in all of the marketing we've done on media related stuff, even media that we thought was favorable to women, the argument is actually the inverse.

02:24:48.000 If you have a product that women want, you actually want to sell it to men, women will already buy it.

02:24:53.000 So, you do want to inform women that the product exists.

02:24:56.000 But thinking about it this way, like at Fusion, for instance, if we have a video and we're like, women love this kind of content, well, then we need to put more money into men.

02:25:04.000 If women are more likely to get it, that means our ad spend on women is going to be lower.

02:25:07.000 So, we have to put more money focused on men.

02:25:09.000 So, you really just wouldn't do it.

02:25:10.000 We'd go in and say, doesn't matter what the gender is, sell the product maximally.

02:25:14.000 And certainly, there are companies that are selling tampons and like literally things only women will buy.

02:25:20.000 But we saw this with makeup.

02:25:22.000 They don't need to advertise.

02:25:24.000 Makeup to women in the same way as they were trying to advertise it to men because men don't wear makeup and they want to increase their market share.

02:25:30.000 But let's get the next caller.

02:25:32.000 We got Raph.

02:25:33.000 What's up, Raph?

02:25:34.000 Hello, hello.

02:25:35.000 How are you doing?

02:25:36.000 Doing good.

02:25:37.000 So, my question is for the panel.

02:25:41.000 By the looks of it, it looks like the birthright citizenship hearing is not going the way that Trump expected and in turn, like against the Constitution.

02:25:51.000 Does the panel think that this will be the Straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of the perceived authority of the Supreme Court?

02:26:04.000 No.

02:26:05.000 Texas v. Pennsylvania is way worse.

02:26:10.000 That's why I say it's the straw.

02:26:12.000 This is a big issue for a lot of people, especially on the right.

02:26:17.000 And seeing as how many of the Supreme Court justices at the right thought they were relying on are just.

02:26:27.000 Up and turning, or just making stuff up out of their butt, pass.

02:26:32.000 Well, I think the bigger issue that you bring up is that many people will perceive this as the Supreme Court refusing to do their job once again and such an egregious hole that clearly no framework or founding father thought would be possible or should be allowed.

02:26:47.000 And the excuse is, well, because they didn't think of it, we'll let the country burn.

02:26:51.000 Yeah, people are going to be pissed.

02:26:56.000 Gotcha, yeah.

02:26:57.000 That's primarily the main point of my question.

02:27:03.000 In terms of shout outs, just shouting out the Discord.

02:27:07.000 The creators' workshop is up and going again.

02:27:11.000 So if you're doing anything fun, creative, painting models, grinding axes, digital drawings, come by Sunday at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

02:27:28.000 And jump into the stage.

02:27:31.000 Well, we have people that paint.

02:27:33.000 We have people that draw.

02:27:35.000 We have a guy that does cosplay and is currently working on a Star Wars cosplay.

02:27:39.000 So, yep.

02:27:42.000 Cool.

02:27:43.000 All right.

02:27:44.000 Well, thanks for calling in.

02:27:45.000 How are we going, bud?

02:27:46.000 Have a nice night, everyone.

02:27:46.000 Pleasure.

02:27:47.000 You too.

02:27:47.000 You take care.

02:27:48.000 This has been a fairly quick one.

02:27:51.000 One Sky Nets.

02:27:51.000 Let's see.

02:27:53.000 What is up, brother?

02:27:56.000 I'm much.

02:27:56.000 How are you doing, Tim and crew?

02:27:58.000 I've been doing great.

02:28:00.000 Great.

02:28:01.000 Well, I'm glad to talk to you.

02:28:02.000 I called him once before, but it was when Seamus was on, and I was like, I didn't get to talk to Tim Poole yet.

02:28:09.000 In any case, I'm glad to finally get to you.

02:28:11.000 I have a question for you.

02:28:12.000 Kind of a fun one.

02:28:14.000 It really got my brain kind of turning with one of your morning segments when it came to talking about the aliens with Matt Gaetz and his claim that they're abducting humans and impregnating them.

02:28:28.000 And I was like, that is the most wild shit I've ever heard.

02:28:28.000 Yeah.

02:28:32.000 So I got my brain thinking, well.

02:28:37.000 What if this is the reason they can't talk about the Epstein trap?

02:28:41.000 Because Epstein was funneling children or people to these aliens and actually causing this whole, you know, they were facilitating the whole process and helping it.

02:28:53.000 And that's why they can't let this information out.

02:28:56.000 They can't tie anything back to anyone because the aliens are involved.

02:29:02.000 And if it gets out, it's going to cause everything to collapse.

02:29:04.000 And, like, really, it's going to cause everyone to freak out.

02:29:07.000 Yeah, there's.

02:29:09.000 Some of the posts, people are saying Epstein was trafficking children to the aliens for the hybrid programs and they can't release any of the files.

02:29:19.000 I don't think that's the case, but it's a fun thought, right?

02:29:22.000 Right, exactly.

02:29:23.000 It's a fun thought because, well, here's my thing with the aliens.

02:29:25.000 I don't really.

02:29:27.000 I guess I'm not sold.

02:29:29.000 I'm in Phil's camp.

02:29:30.000 I think that the universe is far too large and people traversing it, it's just not possible.

02:29:35.000 Maybe some extra dimensional beings.

02:29:37.000 I think that's certainly a possibility.

02:29:39.000 I'd way disagree with that.

02:29:40.000 I just don't personally.

02:29:42.000 Was it?

02:29:43.000 I way disagree with the idea that we can't traverse space.

02:29:46.000 Warp was hypothesized.

02:29:47.000 We can't traverse it just fast enough to get to the ground.

02:29:50.000 Yeah, that's what I just don't see the answer.

02:29:52.000 That's what I'm saying.

02:29:53.000 I'm more of a fan.

02:29:54.000 That's the warp hypothesis, which is 80 to 100 years old, which is an explanation for FTL travel.

02:30:01.000 The issue is like the technology of Star Trek is based on actual scientific hypotheses using antimatter compressors to warp space time, which moves you between space, not through space.

02:30:19.000 Those are hypothesized forms of truth.

02:30:22.000 Certainly a possibility that aliens are here already.

02:30:25.000 I think they visited in the past.

02:30:28.000 They left us alone.

02:30:30.000 And that they've come back.

02:30:32.000 Do you think they're back?

02:30:34.000 Ancient aliens.

02:30:34.000 Ancient alien theorists.

02:30:36.000 That was an episode of South Park.

02:30:37.000 Yes.

02:30:39.000 Well, I mean, you say that there's like, so these theories have existed for, what, 180 to 100 years now.

02:30:46.000 And now, because that's kind of been my whole thing is that I. When it comes to the vastness of space, I just don't see a way we can traverse it.

02:30:54.000 I'm not a physicist by any means.

02:30:56.000 Yeah, the idea is that using matter-antimatter compression, you would create a warp, an expansion of the forward space.

02:31:04.000 I'm sorry, a compression and an expansion in the back, which moves space, not you.

02:31:12.000 That's the theory behind how Star Trek operates, and they move faster than light.

02:31:16.000 They're not actually moving at all, they're between space by warping it.

02:31:20.000 The issue would be how do you contain?

02:31:22.000 I mean, this is Star Trek built off of these hypotheses and made a show about them.

02:31:29.000 How do you contain antimatter, antimatter, matter explosions, and how do you produce enough antimatter to do it?

02:31:34.000 I think we have one trillionth of a gram in U.S. stockpiles for antimatter.

02:31:39.000 So if we got to the point where we could produce it at scale, then, and you could contain, you could create a warp engine that warps space and you would travel faster than light.

02:31:49.000 Other than that, I think that's where I have the contention is like, we're.

02:31:53.000 I don't think we'll ever have the capacity to harness that much energy.

02:31:56.000 But you don't need to either because using standard forms of propulsion, all we need to do is build a moon base where we can shuttle resources much more easily.

02:32:06.000 And then you launch for deep space missions from the moon.

02:32:09.000 It just takes a very long time.

02:32:10.000 So human colonists could functionally travel to Alpha Centauri, I think over 100 years, because you maximally just increase speed.

02:32:18.000 Then halfway there, you decrease speed.

02:32:21.000 But time dilation will be a factor.

02:32:22.000 We'd never see those people again.

02:32:23.000 Yeah.

02:32:24.000 But it's fine.

02:32:25.000 Like humans could do it.

02:32:26.000 I mean, effectively, we will never participate.

02:32:28.000 What if the aliens that we're encountering came to Earth in a similar fashion, have no means of return, and came here because they saw a planet that had no life on it, we're going to colonize.

02:32:37.000 And by the time they got here, due to time dilation, human civilization now exists.

02:32:41.000 What is that, a three body problem that showed that they're going to do?

02:32:44.000 No, a three body problem is that they have devices that can travel faster than light using entanglement.

02:32:51.000 They detected that we were here because we responded, and now they're coming to conquer us.

02:32:55.000 Right, but it takes them like 400 years to get here or something.

02:32:59.000 Yeah.

02:32:59.000 That was the premise.

02:33:00.000 And in the meantime, they're using what?

02:33:02.000 SOFONs to control all of human existence to stop us from being able to advance technologically?

02:33:09.000 That's crazy.

02:33:10.000 Indeed.

02:33:13.000 Just listening to all these segments that you've been putting out about the aliens and all this stuff.

02:33:17.000 Listen, I've never been one that's sold on it.

02:33:20.000 I mean, I'm open to the idea.

02:33:22.000 I'm just like, I just don't think it's there.

02:33:24.000 But I'm just, I don't know.

02:33:27.000 Freaking, we're invading Iran and things are going crazy in the world and it just feels like everything's upside down.

02:33:32.000 Why can't aliens be real, I guess, at this point?

02:33:35.000 Well, the writers of Earth season 26 are bored.

02:33:39.000 They're like, we're going to jump the shark, I guess.

02:33:42.000 Aliens?

02:33:44.000 Fair enough.

02:33:45.000 Well, I don't want to take up too much of the time.

02:33:48.000 I know this is pretty much the end of the show here, but it's been great talking to you guys.

02:33:53.000 Tim, you're a big hero of mine.

02:33:55.000 Appreciate it.

02:33:55.000 You've been just monumental in the culture war and what you put out there.

02:33:59.000 I watch all your content.

02:34:00.000 I think you're incredible.

02:34:02.000 Libby, I love you.

02:34:03.000 I think you're awesome.

02:34:05.000 Phil, you're fantastic.

02:34:06.000 Cheers, man.

02:34:09.000 I didn't get to say this last time because I was so caught up in what we were talking about, but congratulations on your kid.

02:34:14.000 And Tim, you as well.

02:34:15.000 Thank you.

02:34:16.000 For your kids and your lives.

02:34:18.000 You're big heroes of mine.

02:34:19.000 And to see you guys just moving forward and just bringing life into the world and encouraging people to do the same is just.

02:34:26.000 Cheers, man.

02:34:27.000 It warms my heart.

02:34:28.000 Right on.

02:34:28.000 Thank you.

02:34:29.000 Well, thanks for calling in, brother.

02:34:31.000 Thanks, man.

02:34:32.000 All right, you guys.

02:34:33.000 Have a good one.

02:34:34.000 And let's wish our troops good luck with the war.

02:34:38.000 All right.

02:34:39.000 Thanks for calling in, brother.

02:34:41.000 Bye-bye.

02:34:42.000 Well, it was a little bit shorter by about 10 minutes, but it's okay.

02:34:45.000 Jay, it's been fun having you.

02:34:46.000 Thanks for coming.

02:34:47.000 Thank you for having me.

02:34:48.000 We are back, of course, tomorrow.

02:34:48.000 Absolutely.

02:34:50.000 It's going to be fun.

02:34:52.000 We have Scott Pressler on tomorrow?

02:34:53.000 Yeah.

02:34:54.000 Cool.

02:34:54.000 We do.

02:34:54.000 Yeah, we got to talk about this mission in the midterm.

02:34:56.000 So thanks for hanging out, guys.

02:34:57.000 We're going to have big, big subjects tomorrow, and we'll see y'all then.
