Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - U.S. Says NUKING IRAN Is The ONLY OPTION, Trump Won't Rule It Out | Timcast IRL

00:01:12.000 According to numerous reports, Donald Trump backed off a strike on Iran, giving it two weeks, because he was informed that the only way to destroy the Fordo nuclear site would be with a tactical nuclear strike.

00:01:26.000 The concern brought up by Trump himself was that the bunker busters would not be strong enough to actually penetrate the mountain base, reach the labs below, the nuclear facility below, and destroy it.

00:01:37.000 Apparently, he was informed they would have to not only hit it with a bunker buster, but follow it up with a tactical nuke.

00:01:43.000 And it seems that Trump doesn't want to take that, doesn't want to make that move.

00:01:46.000 Now, The Guardian reported that they were not considering doing this.

00:01:50.000 However, according to Fox News, they said White House officials have not taken the use of a tactical nuke off the table.

00:01:57.000 As according, once again, to several reports, it is the only way they're going to be able to destroy this nuclear facility, except for...

00:02:07.000 Now they're saying it's the best option because they could always launch a ground invasion of Iran and send humans into the Florida facility to take it over and shut it down. 0.87

00:02:17.000 Oh boy.

00:02:18.000 Hopefully this is a big ask.

00:02:20.000 And what Trump is actually doing is saber rattling in the most extreme way possible so that Iran is forced to come to the table.

00:02:26.000 But Donald Trump met with Steve Bannon recently.

00:02:28.000 And he also got on the phone with Tucker Carlson.

00:02:30.000 So it sounds like conversations are happening at the very least with the people who are staunchly opposed to U.S. involvement in Iran.

00:02:38.000 And I'm hoping the direction it's going is Trump is heeding the advice of these men deciding not to go in.

00:02:44.000 I'm hoping it's not the other way that Trump is trying to convince them the only move he's got is actually boots on the ground.

00:02:51.000 So we're going to talk about that.

00:02:53.000 Plus, there's a bunch.

00:02:55.000 We've got reports on the shooting in Utah at the Liberal 50501 protest.

00:03:01.000 The man who was arrested in the shooting, who was actually a victim and being shot at, has been released.

00:03:05.000 Mind you, this is an Antifa guy.

00:03:07.000 And the lawyers have filed a claim saying he was unlawfully being detained.

00:03:11.000 So we'll talk about that.

00:03:13.000 Plus, man, there's a lot of stuff going on.

00:03:15.000 That assassin in Minnesota, he claims Tim Waltz told him to do it.

00:03:19.000 It sounds crazy.

00:03:21.000 But we'll see.

00:03:22.000 Before we get started, my friends, we've got a great sponsor.

00:05:23.000 All right.

00:05:24.000 Well, it'll be great to hear about your experience and your thoughts on what's going on in Iran with all that.

00:05:28.000 So it should be fun.

00:05:29.000 Thanks for joining us.

00:05:29.000 Yeah, thank you.

00:05:30.000 Ian's here wearing weird clothes.

00:05:31.000 Oh, thanks.

00:05:33.000 I've been doing a lot of research on Iran, the history of Iran.

00:05:36.000 You know, Iran didn't exist until 1905, and it's heavily influenced by the British throughout the course of this country's lifetime.

00:05:42.000 I'd like to see Persia, the rise of the Persian Republic, come to fruition one way or another.

00:05:47.000 Anyway, but let's get to it.

00:05:48.000 Phil Labonte.

00:05:48.000 Hello, everybody.

00:05:49.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:05:50.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:05:52.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:05:54.000 Let's get into it.

00:05:55.000 Let's start with this from Truthout.

00:05:58.000 Now, I'm going to tell you guys right away, Truthout and New Republic, I got these two pulled up first.

00:06:02.000 These are leftist publications.

00:06:04.000 Keep that in mind.

00:06:05.000 We're just going to walk through where we're currently at with this claim that Trump's best or only option in destroying Fordow is a nuclear weapon.

00:06:13.000 Truthout reports.

00:06:15.000 U.S. reportedly assesses only a nuclear bomb could destroy Iran nuclear facility.

00:06:20.000 One expert has warned that attacks on nuclear facilities should never take place because of radioactive fallout.

00:06:25.000 We have this from the New Republic.

00:06:28.000 Trump White House considers dropping nukes on Iran.

00:06:31.000 Fox News reports that Donald Trump may consider using nuclear weapons to eliminate Iran's Fordo nuclear facility.

00:06:38.000 We have this from the Daily Mail exclusive Pentagon Insider reveals why Trump's best option is to use a tactical nuclear weapon to obliterate Iran's deadly labs. 0.72

00:06:47.000 Saying, only a tactical nuclear warhead would be certain to destroy Iran's key uranium enrichment base hidden inside a mountain, a military official has told the Daily Mail.

00:06:57.000 It comes amid doubts that the 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs would be enough to destroy the secretive facility at Forto, 60 miles south of Tehran.

00:07:05.000 Tactical nukes are meant for battlefield use and do not carry the same devastating payloads as strategic nukes, which are used to topple cities.

00:07:12.000 In this case, the warhead selected could be sized for the Fordow site, though no tactical nuclear weapon has ever been used in combat before.

00:07:20.000 Israeli officials have urged American forces to deploy multiple GBU-57 bunker busters to...

00:07:25.000 We then have this.

00:07:34.000 Newsweek.

00:07:35.000 Is Donald Trump considering tactical nukes against Iran?

00:07:38.000 What we know.

00:07:39.000 They say the administration has not taken anything off the table, including the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

00:07:45.000 If it decides to take military action against the underground Iranian facility at Forto, Fox News reported, citing a White House official.

00:07:51.000 We then have this for a mediaite.

00:07:52.000 White House denies Trump ruled out using a tactical nuke on Iran.

00:07:56.000 And the root of this is the Guardian.

00:08:00.000 Trump caution on Iran's strike linked to doubts over bunker buster bomb, officials say.

00:08:05.000 There are several things to consider that's now coming out.

00:08:08.000 Donald Trump reportedly asked, can these bunker busters even take out this facility?

00:08:14.000 And the answer is, maybe not.

00:08:17.000 The reason?

00:08:18.000 These things are designed to penetrate 200 feet.

00:08:20.000 Fordo is 300 feet.

00:08:22.000 Which would mean they would need multiple successive strikes in the exact same spot.

00:08:29.000 That means one bunker buster goes in, detonates, and then in the crater, they need to send another one. 0.97

00:08:35.000 The other issue.

00:08:36.000 Iran has built the facility specifically underground because of the bunker busters, meaning it's also spread out.

00:08:44.000 So a single successive strike of multiple bunker busters may not even stop this.

00:08:49.000 And I believe Jack Posobiec said in Bannon's War Room, it may actually slow them down a year or two and doesn't solve the problem that Trump and others in the U.S. are purporting is there.

00:09:00.000 Now, there's a question in the debate as to whether or not, one, they're actually going to make a nuke.

00:09:05.000 Tulsi Gabbard says they've got the materials, they are enriching it above what they would need for power, but they don't believe they're working towards a nuke.

00:09:14.000 That was March.

00:09:16.000 If that is the case, that the U.S.'s position is they cannot have the ability to enrich uranium at those levels for whatever reason, be it they build a nuclear bomb and launch it, or they give fissile material to a bunch of rebel lunatics, it stands to reason, based on the reporting, at least what they want the public to think.

00:09:35.000 The only way they can do it is with a nuclear strike.

00:09:38.000 Now, why would they do that?

00:09:39.000 My opinion, big ask.

00:09:41.000 You run out of the press, headline after headline after headline, saying Trump, his only option is a nuke and they're not ruling it out.

00:09:48.000 Then, when they say, guys, I have an idea.

00:09:51.000 What if we just send people on the ground into Iran and we don't have to use a nuclear weapon? 0.82

00:09:57.000 Then people are going to go, whoa, yes, a boots on the ground invasion is the preferable choice.

00:10:02.000 I wouldn't say that.

00:10:04.000 You think a nuke is better?

00:10:05.000 No.

00:10:06.000 I don't think either of those options work for me.

00:10:08.000 And this is the big ask.

00:10:09.000 It's tell people we have to do a nuke and then say, we could do an invasion.

00:10:12.000 You pick.

00:10:13.000 And everyone, of course, is going to choose invasion.

00:10:15.000 I don't see MAGA base choosing an invasion.

00:10:20.000 No attempt with the bunker buster.

00:10:23.000 Don't drop a mop.

00:10:24.000 Don't even try it.

00:10:25.000 I understand what you're saying about the precision needed.

00:10:28.000 It reminds me of the blockbuster with Tom Cruise, the second Top Gun.

00:10:32.000 It was like an unbelievable movie about them hitting a target twice.

00:10:35.000 They had to hit it two times and come up out of that curve, not get hit by the Sams. 0.99

00:10:40.000 It was impossible, and only one guy could do it, and it was Tom Cruise.

00:10:43.000 And that was Iran. 0.80

00:10:43.000 And it was Iran. 0.80

00:10:44.000 So Top Gun Maverick, right?

00:10:46.000 Right.

00:10:47.000 They were calling it the enemy in the movie, but it was very obviously Iran.

00:10:51.000 Obviously. 0.97

00:10:51.000 Crazy. 0.97

00:10:52.000 Yeah.

00:10:52.000 And it was an underground facility, and it had a tiny little hole that they had to hit, and it was like an impossible task, and of course Tom Cruise was able to do it.

00:11:00.000 Like Star Wars.

00:11:00.000 It was exciting.

00:11:01.000 Oh my gosh.

00:11:02.000 It was exactly like Star Wars.

00:11:03.000 Oh, don't get me started.

00:11:04.000 Okay, so I'm just saying, I would not buy that.

00:11:07.000 Now, I understand the subterfuge you're talking about and selling it.

00:11:11.000 And Trump is good at that.

00:11:12.000 That's one of his main...

00:11:16.000 He's a dealmaker.

00:11:17.000 But we're talking about Americans who literally—I remember giving speeches in D.C. about the never-ending wars in the Middle East, how much money we've spent, how much treasure, and how Trump is not that guy.

00:11:27.000 He doesn't believe in starting wars.

00:11:28.000 He doesn't believe in entering issues or situations foreign policy-wise that we don't have a tactical and strategic objective that we can meet or succeed and win and get out.

00:11:40.000 I just, I can't see them doing that.

00:11:42.000 I can't see them doing either of those scenarios without dropping the mop first.

00:11:45.000 You want to read that headline?

00:11:47.000 Ban and MAGA will get on board if Trump decides.

00:11:49.000 Yeah, okay.

00:11:50.000 Yeah.

00:11:51.000 So he's a tactical overlord with language, right?

00:11:54.000 He is an unbelievable historian, but I'm not with him on that.

00:11:58.000 And I'm as big as it gets on MAGA.

00:12:00.000 I've been to Mar-a-Lago six times.

00:12:02.000 I've met President Trump numerous times.

00:12:03.000 I have my picture with him numerous times.

00:12:05.000 I believe in the guy.

00:12:06.000 I don't believe in that.

00:12:07.000 I don't want boots on the ground.

00:12:09.000 I don't want it.

00:12:10.000 So I get what you're saying.

00:12:12.000 Is it your sense that MAGA would forgive Donald Trump, would forgive the GOP by the time the midterms roll around if they took some kind of action now?

00:12:24.000 Because it's my opinion that the only thing that can happen that will prevent the Republicans from having at least a good showing and can really derail President Trump's agenda is a bad thing.

00:12:55.000 you have to pass the BBB.

00:12:57.000 But on this, so...

00:13:00.000 The first one, he sells everybody on that.

00:13:04.000 We sit here and hold our breath.

00:13:05.000 He goes in.

00:13:06.000 He's successful.

00:13:06.000 Fordo is eliminated, and we're out.

00:13:09.000 That is a pristine situation that is so improbable.

00:13:12.000 It defies all of the logic that we've seen in every other war we've engaged in.

00:13:15.000 But if that were to happen, the midterm is a piece of cake.

00:13:18.000 Yeah, that would have no effect on him.

00:13:19.000 More likely, we put boots on the ground.

00:13:22.000 The tactical nuke is an obvious easy go.

00:13:24.000 He just has to get the buy-in for that and hope that nobody else wants to get involved.

00:13:28.000 But if we go in with boots on the ground, we're there.

00:13:33.000 We might as well open up a military base, send over one of those big cornerstones they put in the ground every time we build something overseas. 0.93

00:13:39.000 We're there forever.

00:13:41.000 We just got done with that.

00:13:42.000 That was the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:13:46.000 Americans are exhausted by that.

00:13:47.000 Israel had reportedly stated that if the U.S. doesn't want to get involved, they'll use commandos.

00:13:52.000 But the idea, so we have the map here.

00:13:55.000 Here's Tehran. 0.83

00:13:55.000 I pulled this up quite a bit. 0.83

00:13:56.000 Here's Com.

00:13:57.000 I think that's how you pronounce it.

00:13:58.000 I'm probably pronouncing it wrong.

00:13:59.000 But just south, if Google Earth ever decides to actually move.

00:14:03.000 Is it like in the mountains too?

00:14:03.000 Yeah, it's 60 miles south.

00:14:05.000 It's right over here.

00:14:07.000 Forto, you can see it.

00:14:09.000 Forto!

00:14:09.000 Okay, so look where my mouse is.

00:14:12.000 You want to get there with human beings?

00:14:14.000 That's dead center in Iran.

00:14:16.000 There's no way human beings are getting in there, getting in that facility and taking it out.

00:14:21.000 You're going to need ordinance.

00:14:22.000 They're going to have to carry that deep underground with a massive facility, which has what?

00:14:26.000 How many personnel are down there?

00:14:28.000 Thousands?

00:14:28.000 That we know of.

00:14:30.000 Who knows?

00:14:30.000 Wait a minute.

00:14:31.000 They control the airspace over Iran.

00:14:33.000 They drop in the 101st Airborne, 82nd Airborne, and then they take control of the area.

00:14:38.000 Are you getting out?

00:14:40.000 I mean, obviously, you have to control the whole thing in order to get out.

00:14:42.000 You said they couldn't get in.

00:14:44.000 They can get in.

00:14:45.000 Getting out is a problem.

00:14:46.000 You drive out through Iraq.

00:14:47.000 Literally, you drive to Baghdad and all that stuff.

00:14:51.000 You drive from central Iran.

00:14:54.000 You drive out.

00:14:55.000 You're driving.

00:14:56.000 They have to get to high ground.

00:14:57.000 What are you driving?

00:14:58.000 You're stealing?

00:14:59.000 No, no, no.

00:15:01.000 That wouldn't be just a commando raid.

00:15:03.000 Like she said, they have no air cover.

00:15:05.000 They have no air.

00:15:05.000 Which means you're going to have to land planes.

00:15:07.000 You're going to find an airfield.

00:15:08.000 Yeah, big, big army stuff.

00:15:10.000 A ton of them.

00:15:11.000 Yeah, I'm talking about big army stuff.

00:15:12.000 I'm fairly certain that if you started landing planes, even with Control of the Skies, you are going to be surrounded by hails of gunfire.

00:15:20.000 Absolutely will be.

00:15:21.000 So I don't see that as a reality to get humans on the ground unless you act.

00:15:24.000 This is insane.

00:15:30.000 I don't see a reality.

00:15:31.000 Well, they're largely on the move evacuating out.

00:15:34.000 But we already have, I think, 18 Patriot Battalions they moved over that were elsewhere that they've moved into the Middle East.

00:15:39.000 That was about a month ago.

00:15:41.000 But sorry, I mean I'm just saying, in terms of the population density of the area, we're talking driving distance to 10 million people in a metro.

00:15:53.000 Now, obviously, most of these people are not going to be engaging in combat.

00:15:56.000 But it takes only a tiny percentage of 10 million to completely overrun anything you land in the region.

00:16:03.000 You know, we often talk about why guns are so important in this country.

00:16:06.000 And the liberals don't get it.

00:16:08.000 You know, Joe Biden's like, you want to go up against the U.S.?

00:16:10.000 You're going to need F-16s.

00:16:11.000 And it's like, right, because an F-16 can occupy a street corner.

00:16:14.000 It can't happen.

00:16:15.000 No, it can't.

00:16:15.000 This is why anybody who's played StarCraft or WarCraft or Command& Conquer knows one of the best strategies, what do they call it, zerging?

00:16:23.000 Yeah.

00:16:23.000 You mass produce tons of little dudes you don't worry about.

00:16:27.000 So in these strategy games, you can build up your bases, build high-tech weapons.

00:16:31.000 And then some dude just says, give me 50. And you also, in the more advanced strategies, they'll make a mass of 1-1 tiny crap that they'll send out to distract the artillery, and then you send the big guns in behind those little guys.

00:16:45.000 Zerging.

00:16:46.000 Yeah, behind the Zerg, you send the big guns.

00:16:47.000 My point, and I think Zerg is a reference to the smallest military unit in Starcraft.

00:16:51.000 Yes, it's a race in Starcraft.

00:16:53.000 The Zerg, it's this insectoid.

00:16:55.000 Race that impregnates and takes over planets and humans, you know, the Zerg. 1.00

00:16:59.000 Well, I don't play that game.

00:17:00.000 Actually, I'm in the last century.

00:17:02.000 I play Age of Empires.

00:17:03.000 But I'm just going to say, I've been to the Middle East, and I actually agree with you about the topography, but the issue isn't that.

00:17:11.000 We have 40,000 troops there already.

00:17:12.000 At max, we've ever had there's 500,000, but that was at the height of the conflict.

00:17:17.000 We don't have a problem mustering people, getting them into location.

00:17:20.000 We don't have a problem managing other groups.

00:17:24.000 Air control is what that's called.

00:17:26.000 F-16s buzzing the ground, hitting the sonic boom, knocking the windows out of everything.

00:17:33.000 People will not stand against that.

00:17:35.000 They will disperse.

00:17:36.000 Whoever's left, because you only have to do that once and people are scattering.

00:17:40.000 So it's not about that.

00:17:41.000 It's about the will.

00:17:42.000 Do we want to go in?

00:17:44.000 Do we want air control?

00:17:45.000 How many jets do we want?

00:17:47.000 USS Nimitz is steaming there right now.

00:17:48.000 They're going to be close in a couple of days.

00:17:50.000 They're going to be in theater.

00:17:52.000 There's a lot of buildup.

00:17:54.000 But let's try this.

00:17:55.000 How many jets would you need?

00:17:57.000 What is it called when it gets close to the ground and does a sonic boom?

00:18:00.000 They're buzzing the ground, basically clearing the area so that troops can move.

00:18:04.000 How many of those jets do we have, and how long can they operate?

00:18:07.000 We have four air forces.

00:18:08.000 We have over 14,000 aircraft.

00:18:11.000 But we're not going to send 14,000 fighter jets.

00:18:13.000 We don't have to.

00:18:14.000 Once the USS Nimitz gets there, we'll have plenty.

00:18:16.000 We'll have plenty in the area.

00:18:18.000 There's two strike groups.

00:18:20.000 That's a lot of air.

00:18:22.000 But that's just what's on the water, Tim.

00:18:24.000 We have air bases there.

00:18:25.000 That's the 40,000.

00:18:26.000 Certainly.

00:18:26.000 I just am still not convinced.

00:18:30.000 That central Iran, densely populated, will be so, like, that you're going to deal with single individuals with bombs and guns. 1.00

00:18:38.000 No, you need to invoke a revolution among the Iranian people.

00:18:41.000 Let's just talk about Afghanistan and the Taliban. 0.80

00:18:43.000 I mean, we had all this, we were there for 20 years and we still weren't able to stop a bunch of goat herders in caves with guns. 1.00

00:18:48.000 But they had tunnels and they had time on their hands.

00:18:51.000 But these are major metro cities, highways, and there's weapons and infrastructure there already.

00:18:56.000 So, I mean, we're not talking about going to cave guys with tunnels and, you know, respect.

00:19:01.000 That is powerful defense.

00:19:02.000 We're talking about a developed mountainous nation where we would have to land vehicles to send troops in to go into one site 60 miles south of Tehran, which I imagine is heavily fortified.

00:19:14.000 And, like, what's the purpose here?

00:19:15.000 If we blew up the nuclear program, then what, in three years they have another one?

00:19:18.000 Like, it's obviously regime change.

00:19:20.000 Exactly.

00:19:21.000 But that's what Bibi Netanyahu said on TV last week.

00:19:24.000 I agree with you that the boots-on-the-ground scenario is the worst one for us.

00:19:28.000 It's the worst.

00:19:29.000 It's the one the American people support the least.

00:19:31.000 And I'm not talking about just MAGA people.

00:19:33.000 Overall, 65% of Americans do not want war.

00:19:37.000 And then the rest of them, I don't know if they're crazy, not jobs.

00:19:40.000 How do we even get that big of a percentage?

00:19:45.000 So President Trump has always been a flood-the-zone guy.

00:19:48.000 He's always been like that.

00:19:49.000 So that's what this feels like.

00:19:51.000 He puts a lot of military equipment out front.

00:19:53.000 He puts it in the face of the Iranians. 1.00

00:19:56.000 They're still reeling.

00:19:57.000 They lost 19 of their people over the past week.

00:19:59.000 Leadership people.

00:20:01.000 They're afraid.

00:20:02.000 They're worried about traveling.

00:20:03.000 They want to decamp from Iran.

00:20:06.000 They can't because they're afraid they're going to get killed.

00:20:08.000 They're now making some tacit promises that they won't kill this one.

00:20:11.000 They won't kill that one. 0.99

00:20:12.000 I think they're going to kill whoever they can. 0.98

00:20:13.000 They've been very, very effective, the Israelis so far. 0.69

00:20:18.000 But I can't see a scenario where we go in with tactical nudes and especially boots on the ground where we haven't tried the bunker buster.

00:20:25.000 The thing about the bombs, and Posobiec mentioned this when he was talking to Steve Bannon, is that you don't know if it succeeded after the chaos and everything falls, explosions, even if you bunker busted it and nuked it, you still wouldn't be able to confirm that you blew up your nudes.

00:20:35.000 Why can't we leave that to the Israelis? 1.00

00:20:36.000 The way it sounds to me is we're just talking about taking this whole thing over and it's going to be America and Iran. 0.58

00:20:42.000 The Israelis picked this fight. 0.92

00:20:44.000 They started it.

00:20:45.000 I support Israel.

00:20:46.000 I'm not against them.

00:20:48.000 But let them go in and continue what they've gotten started.

00:20:51.000 We bunker bust and then, you know, back to you.

00:20:54.000 You can kind of argue that the British and the Americans started it with overthrowing their democratic...

00:21:02.000 They overthrew their prime minister, and they installed the king.

00:21:04.000 But you can't argue that now, what, 50 years later, 60 years later?

00:21:09.000 The reason the rise of the Islamic Republic occurred is because there's an autocratic king in control of their country that was...

00:21:19.000 Operation Ajax, it was called.

00:21:20.000 They were tired of the democratically elected prime minister of Iran nationalizing their oil and auditing the Anglo-Iranian oil company and trying to make a legitimate country for his people.

00:21:31.000 They wanted control of the country, and they got it until 1979.

00:21:36.000 what's his name?

00:21:37.000 Rudola Khamenei comes along He had no solution.

00:21:43.000 He just knew what the problem was.

00:21:44.000 So he screamed about the problem.

00:21:46.000 They put him in charge, and then he cried.

00:21:47.000 He lied to them.

00:21:48.000 He told them, I'm going to make you a republic.

00:21:49.000 And then he turned it into an autocratic theocracy.

00:21:54.000 As revolutions tend to go, you know?

00:21:55.000 Yeah, it's so similar to the Russian-Soviet revolution.

00:21:59.000 You get this Lenin guy comes in, just like the Ayatollah comes in. 0.86

00:22:02.000 10 years later, he's dead.

00:22:03.000 And the new guy now, we got Ali Khomeini, who's a real psych, He dispersed parliament in 1990.

00:22:12.000 Went full autocracy.

00:22:14.000 That's what Homer was talking about, huh?

00:22:16.000 Who was talking about it?

00:22:17.000 Homer.

00:22:18.000 Homer Simpson?

00:22:19.000 Well, he's talking about all the Ayatollahs before.

00:22:21.000 No, he's talking about Khomeini.

00:22:22.000 He was definitely talking about Rudol Khomeini, the first one.

00:22:25.000 Which is interesting because Khomeini is the current one.

00:22:28.000 Here you go, everybody.

00:22:29.000 Just some context from the 90s.

00:22:31.000 Can we get rid of this Ayatollah t-shirt?

00:22:33.000 Khomeini died years ago.

00:22:35.000 But Marge, it works on any Ayatollah. 0.53

00:22:38.000 Ayatollah Nachpada?

00:22:40.000 Ayatollah Zahedi?

00:22:41.000 Even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmara and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power. 0.93

00:22:46.000 I don't care who's consolidating their power.

00:22:48.000 I agree.

00:22:49.000 I don't care who's consolidating their power.

00:22:51.000 Why are we involved?

00:22:52.000 He got in, and the Ayatollah, you know, he was whatever.

00:22:55.000 I don't know.

00:22:56.000 In ten years, he didn't destroy parliament.

00:22:57.000 It was the next guy that came in, this theocratic regime that took over after Ayatollah died, after Khomeini died.

00:23:05.000 So I don't know.

00:23:05.000 So real quick, and I mean it's honestly, why should I care?

00:23:10.000 Because when a psychotic regime gets in power, they can decimate everything.

00:23:17.000 What does that mean?

00:23:19.000 Okay, the argument here is if in 1938 the French, who had the biggest and most powerful military on Earth and the best tanks on Earth, had invaded Germany with the British, they would have stomped the Germans, Hitler, they would have taken Hitler out of power.

00:23:31.000 If the French attacked Germany before, in 1938, because Germany was still fledgling, they had a big military, but it was either East or the West.

00:23:38.000 The French were ready to rock, they just didn't anticipate the sneak attack. 0.88

00:23:41.000 It was the Maginot Line, and they thought it wasn't going to be penetrated, and then Hitler just went around it, and they were like, ah, crap. 0.97

00:23:47.000 They had tanks.

00:23:48.000 They had amazing, big, beautiful tanks, but they would keep the tanks with their infantry.

00:23:51.000 That was the modern war tactic of the day, is your tanks support your infantry.

00:23:54.000 They move at infantry speed, so very slow.

00:23:56.000 But the Germans made divisions of tanks, so they were super quick.

00:23:59.000 They could get behind your lines.

00:24:00.000 If the British and the French had stomped Hitler before that and taken him out of power, this ridiculously unfounded Nazi regime that was just killing to get power, if they'd taken him out, And we may not have seen World War II. 0.58

00:24:15.000 We may not have seen a world war.

00:24:16.000 It might have been a worse world war.

00:24:17.000 You never know.

00:24:18.000 Ian, you make an interesting point.

00:24:19.000 Maybe we should send boots on the ground to Iran to prevent World War III. 0.99

00:24:22.000 Is that what your argument is?

00:24:23.000 Well, this is what the Israeli government and Benjamin Netanyahu have been saying for like 20 years. 0.95

00:24:28.000 And I've just thought of him as a raving madman. 0.66

00:24:30.000 You know, just real quick.

00:24:31.000 You know, you take one look at Ian and you see this long hair and this weird jacket.

00:24:35.000 And you're like, this guy's going to be a hippie.

00:24:36.000 And he's like, we have to invade Iran! 0.96

00:24:39.000 Earlier you made a remark and I was just like, man, you just sound like a CIA.

00:24:44.000 That's interesting.

00:24:47.000 They see it as like a potential Nazi regime about to attack.

00:24:50.000 When you were like, we need to start a revolution over there, I'm like, that's what the CIA does.

00:24:55.000 I want to see the Iranians have their republic.

00:25:00.000 They're supposed to be, it's called the Iranian republic and it's a theocratic autocracy.

00:25:04.000 Ian has also in the past called for spreading American constitutional democracy to other countries.

00:25:09.000 What if it just turned out he was CIA the whole time?

00:25:12.000 And it's all an act?

00:25:12.000 I like the culture victory, or the scientific victory.

00:25:15.000 If you can convince people to rise up and create their own democracies, that's the way to go.

00:25:20.000 Yeah, but people aren't really ready for that.

00:25:22.000 Okay, so this is like the Star Trek, where they had the prime directive.

00:25:27.000 You can't go in and drop technology on primitive people. 0.83

00:25:31.000 They did anyway.

00:25:31.000 They did, but I mean, they did have the prime directive.

00:25:34.000 They at least thought they wanted to do what was right.

00:25:36.000 This is the problem with all of our nation-building tendencies, which have really come to naught, is we find people who are way behind us technologically, and then we try to turn them into what Democrats call a democracy, but we're actually— He is getting 20s right now.

00:25:53.000 That's what I'm talking about.

00:25:53.000 And they did that with the Shah in 1955 after the coup.

00:25:58.000 And they modernized Iran through American and British ideals.

00:26:03.000 But the Shah, the king, didn't set up a republic.

00:26:06.000 He should have turned his country into a legitimized republic and then stepped down.

00:26:10.000 Instead, he just held on to power as an autocrat and hasn't properly formed their administration.

00:26:16.000 I have an idea.

00:26:19.000 What if we don't?

00:26:21.000 Then they may get a nuclear missile and they may use it.

00:26:25.000 Maybe.

00:26:27.000 I don't know.

00:26:28.000 I don't know how far they go because one thing we can count on is that the Israelis have Mossad and they have been going in and methodically picking off their nuclear scientists. 0.96

00:26:36.000 Every few years they go in and they kill basically everybody who's working on the program.

00:26:41.000 And this time they took out, now it's 50% of their ballistic missile capability.

00:26:45.000 They don't have a lot of extra money left over because Trump almost ran them into bankruptcy in his first term.

00:26:50.000 We had four years of Biden selling oil in the open market.

00:26:53.000 I think they made $75 billion.

00:26:54.000 But now we're back to like how many ballistic missiles do they have left?

00:26:58.000 If they had any left, they wouldn't be allowing the Israeli Air Force to control their airspace.

00:27:03.000 So I'm with you on wanting to prevent them from having a nuke.

00:27:07.000 The question is, how do we get it done?

00:27:08.000 And how do we not look like our previous selves where we have failed epically at building nations and regimes?

00:27:17.000 And I think even Trump and the U.S. don't think it is either.

00:27:23.000 When you take a look at what Tulsi Gabbard said, that they are enriching uranium higher than what would be expected for civilian energy use, but we do not believe they're pursuing a bomb.

00:27:32.000 Well, then, what's the conclusion?

00:27:34.000 They want to send that material. 0.57

00:27:35.000 They're making dirty bombs. 0.98

00:27:36.000 Dirty bombs. 0.98

00:27:36.000 Send it out to the rest of the— Exactly. 0.98

00:27:38.000 But that's not unusual thought, Tim, because a lot of regular Americans—I have people calling me last—or night before last on the show asking exactly that question.

00:27:46.000 What are they doing with that nuclear material?

00:27:47.000 Look what they did on October 7th.

00:27:49.000 They're the sponsors of October 7th massacre on Israel. 0.94

00:27:52.000 They want to do the same thing in the United States.

00:27:54.000 Hamas promised to do it again and again and again until Israel was destroyed.

00:27:58.000 So the question is, how do we prevent that?

00:28:01.000 Well, the easy answer is bunker busters or a nuclear weapon.

00:28:06.000 I hate this idea of boots on the ground.

00:28:09.000 I'm so sick of hearing the words boots on the ground because those are all people. 1.00

00:28:12.000 And I have a special interest in it because I was on active duty in the Air Force.

00:28:17.000 During the Cobar Tower bombing, I went in the January rotation because my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, was like, you don't want to go in the summer.

00:28:24.000 You're scheduled to go in the summer.

00:28:26.000 There's an opening in the January rotation.

00:28:27.000 Take that.

00:28:28.000 So I went, got my stuff out of the way.

00:28:31.000 I was there 94 days, C-130 back home.

00:28:33.000 I'm on the beach when the Kovar Towers are bombed.

00:28:36.000 And the guy who lived across the hall from me, who had just transferred in, To clarify, I'm saying riding the C-130 sounds fun, not the other parts.

00:28:48.000 Yeah, that was fun.

00:28:49.000 And we had, you know, mo bags and it was kitted out for military use, not, not civilian.

00:28:53.000 It was awesome.

00:29:01.000 I felt like there was no engagement that we shouldn't get involved in.

00:29:04.000 I was on active duty back then.

00:29:05.000 Now I'm a mom of three young adults.

00:29:07.000 I don't want my kids drafted into a war over there.

00:29:09.000 Honest question.

00:29:10.000 What if we, and I mean this seriously, what if we dropped something like 100,000 machine gun mounted robot dogs?

00:29:19.000 They'd probably get used against us.

00:29:21.000 I don't.

00:29:22.000 Like, if they're encrypted and they're, like, automated...

00:29:24.000 I don't think they're going to be able to break into them in any meaningful amount of time.

00:29:30.000 To start securing areas.

00:29:32.000 Oh, we need divisions of robot dogs. 0.96

00:29:34.000 Have you seen the videos of the robot dogs with guns mounted on them?

00:29:37.000 They could be easily dropped.

00:29:39.000 The cost is ridiculously minimal.

00:29:41.000 I mean, these things are thousands of dollars.

00:29:43.000 So it is technically expensive, but I mean, for the U.S. military, not that much money to strap an AI little dog with a gun that can fire.

00:29:51.000 We're talking about drone use, and if we control the skies, you unload a bunch of these things, they'll take over a whole area.

00:29:58.000 And then what?

00:29:59.000 If you want to get people in there.

00:30:01.000 Okay.

00:30:02.000 Commandos.

00:30:03.000 What if Israel sent in commandos and we just dumped 50,000 robot dogs? 0.62

00:30:07.000 Okay, I'm there.

00:30:08.000 They can also blow up supply lines.

00:30:10.000 They can kamikaze.

00:30:12.000 We do need divisions of drones. 0.95

00:30:14.000 this is what the Germans figured out as divisions of tanks in the beginning.

00:30:17.000 They were just using the, People will be using their drones to support their ground campaign.

00:30:23.000 But we need autonomous—I don't know about autonomous.

00:30:26.000 Terminators.

00:30:26.000 Semi-autonomous divisions of Terminator drones.

00:30:28.000 We need those because they're getting built.

00:30:29.000 Just like with skull faces.

00:30:31.000 Well, the Israelis already used drones during this current— Flying ones. 0.78

00:30:35.000 Yeah, they had flying drones in there, and they were doing really well with them.

00:30:38.000 They set up drone base beforehand.

00:30:39.000 They actually snuck in.

00:30:40.000 I'm curious about one word.

00:30:42.000 So a lot of people think that we'll get to the point where humanoid— Autonomous machines will be running in.

00:30:48.000 I don't think so.

00:30:49.000 There's no reason.

00:30:50.000 Humanoids are good for moving dishes into the dishwasher or taking groceries in the car. 1.00

00:30:54.000 If you're talking about war, quadrupedal, gun-mounted thing, and it's got the arm on top that can manipulate stuff, that's going to secure a location better than a humanoid.

00:31:04.000 They're harder to hit, and they're faster, and they can move over rocky terrain.

00:31:08.000 I wouldn't be surprised if we see that.

00:31:10.000 If this does go, people...

00:31:13.000 It's going to get weird.

00:31:15.000 Sorry, real quick.

00:31:16.000 Some of these robot dogs we've shown, not only do they have the legs, but there's wheels and they're So they're rubber and they can walk, but then the wheels can spin and they can drive.

00:31:25.000 So it can run over the rocks, Are there, like, ground ones that can lift off?

00:31:31.000 I'd be willing to bet they have those.

00:31:33.000 I'd be willing to bet.

00:31:35.000 Yeah.

00:31:35.000 So I think...

00:31:50.000 They call him the prince in exile. 0.99

00:31:51.000 And then they have another monarchy, which I think is a fucking fail. 0.99

00:31:54.000 You don't want another monarchy. 0.98

00:31:57.000 There would be, probably.

00:31:58.000 But the last civil war was impotent.

00:32:02.000 And it is not like it is a singular ethnic group with singular religious group.

00:32:07.000 But what will cause a horrific war is if we colonize or we establish drone... 0.54

00:32:16.000 I think the ideal scenario, actually, for the U.S. and for U.S.' partners is that the current regime stays in power, but is deferential to the demands of the West.

00:32:26.000 The argument being that if we were to remove this regime, you would end up with ISIS-style insurgency all over the country you can't control.

00:32:35.000 The clergy?

00:32:36.000 They call it the clergy?

00:32:37.000 They used to have ceremonial power amongst the Shah.

00:32:40.000 The Shah kind of relegated them to secondary.

00:32:44.000 Then they were, and then they weren't, and then, of course, now they are in charge.

00:32:48.000 But we could relegate we.

00:32:50.000 They could be relegated back to a position of just religious authority, extricating that from the way those people think.

00:32:56.000 I don't know enough Iranians. 0.99

00:32:58.000 They only think about killing the West, the little Satan and the big Satan. 0.96

00:33:02.000 Let's real quick jump to the story, advance the narrative here.

00:33:05.000 From the Daily Mail, Trump warns Iran could launch nuclear war in weeks.

00:33:11.000 As it's pummeled with Israeli bombs, and Citi is struck by 5.1 earthquake.

00:33:15.000 Now, you know why that earthquake thing's actually really scary?

00:33:20.000 Man-made?

00:33:22.000 Well, who knows?

00:33:23.000 The argument being, was it an earthquake?

00:33:25.000 Was it testing a nuclear weapon?

00:33:26.000 Or was it a bunker buster?

00:33:28.000 Or were they testing a nuclear weapon?

00:33:30.000 Deep underground.

00:33:30.000 Denial weapons, like vibration tech.

00:33:34.000 Nikola Tesla set off an earthquake in lower Manhattan.

00:33:36.000 A lot of the speculation is immediately like...

00:33:43.000 And did they just test a detonation underground?

00:33:46.000 Or is it a coincidence that a 5.1 earthquake just hit Tehran?

00:33:52.000 And that's very close to Forto.

00:33:54.000 There are frequently seismic activity in the area.

00:33:59.000 They have earthquakes there.

00:34:00.000 I think volcanic and seismic activity are related to terrestrial explosives too.

00:34:06.000 You can induce like...

00:34:09.000 I mean, the question is whether or not it was natural or whether it was an underground nuke.

00:34:14.000 Or, you know, if they're testing one.

00:34:18.000 You know, if they're like, oh, let's put it together and see if we can make one work.

00:34:23.000 I think they said it was in Sork.

00:34:26.000 How close to Tehran is that?

00:34:28.000 It's 23...

00:34:31.000 Let me see if I can pull it up.

00:34:33.000 Let's see.

00:34:34.000 They are testing what they got.

00:34:35.000 It is...

00:34:39.000 So they would test it far away from Toronto if they're going to test it.

00:34:41.000 This is something Scott Horton said.

00:34:44.000 Scott Horton was talking about the differentials of the nuclear fissile material.

00:34:47.000 You got your plutonium and then you got uranium.

00:34:49.000 The enriched uranium bombs, well, they make bombs.

00:34:51.000 They don't make missiles because it's so heavy.

00:34:52.000 You need a big, big bomb.

00:34:54.000 That's what they dropped in Hiroshima.

00:34:56.000 The plutonium stuff you can put on the end of a missile.

00:34:59.000 It's a lot lighter, but the Iranians don't have access to that stuff. 1.00

00:35:02.000 They don't have the plutonium enrichment capabilities.

00:35:04.000 They have the uranium.

00:35:06.000 Right.

00:35:06.000 But that doesn't indicate that they're going to be able to shoot a missile with it anywhere.

00:35:10.000 They'd have to load it into a big plane, and it'd be very obvious.

00:35:13.000 They don't have the delivery system for that.

00:35:16.000 Not for air-based, but there are other ways of launching.

00:35:22.000 Correction.

00:35:23.000 It actually is rather close to Toronto.

00:35:26.000 So they're saying it's south of Semnon City, not province, which is probably within 60 to 100 miles of Tehran.

00:35:35.000 Okay.

00:35:36.000 Interesting.

00:35:36.000 Not too far from Forto.

00:35:38.000 Is it like the middle of a desert where there's not a lot of stuff?

00:35:40.000 Yes, it is.

00:35:42.000 All right.

00:35:43.000 Well, that could be a secondary target.

00:35:45.000 Put it on the map, guys.

00:35:46.000 Interesting.

00:35:46.000 The Defense Department wants some help.

00:35:47.000 Let me know.

00:35:49.000 Check this place out.

00:35:50.000 Ground penetrating radar.

00:35:52.000 Let's use this new Doppler tech that they were scanning underground the pyramids with and look for these.

00:35:57.000 I mean, I feel like they already have all that data.

00:36:01.000 183 kilometers.

00:36:02.000 Because if Trump said they weren't going to nuke, that would make me think that they were.

00:36:06.000 This mind game upon mind game.

00:36:10.000 Because he was just at the press briefing.

00:36:12.000 He's out with reporters and they're asking him specifically, are you going to bomb?

00:36:18.000 You know, are you going to bomb on behalf of the Israelis? 0.99

00:36:20.000 And he said, that's the dumbest question I've ever heard. 0.99

00:36:22.000 Why would I tell you that? 0.99

00:36:23.000 So talking about the nuclear, this story, you know, how often do we place stories?

00:36:29.000 Our media is a part of the story.

00:36:33.000 The story gets placed that the only thing that can work is a nuclear weapon.

00:36:37.000 Then you're back to Tim's suggestion that they're really going to...

00:36:44.000 Big ask.

00:36:45.000 That's what it's called.

00:36:45.000 I think there's something genetically in humans that love the idea of a leader, of one human leading us to victory.

00:36:51.000 Yeah.

00:36:52.000 But Trump needs Congress's approval, supposedly.

00:36:55.000 Well, he's got the Patriot Act, but he's supposed to say, look, we have to destroy their—instead of being like, they just can't have it, guys.

00:37:01.000 Sorry. 0.98

00:37:02.000 Shut up. 0.99

00:37:03.000 I'm in charge. 1.00

00:37:03.000 No, no, no. 1.00

00:37:04.000 He can take action.

00:37:05.000 He just has to inform Congress within 48 hours.

00:37:08.000 He can put boots on the ground, but he has to, within 90 days, go to Congress and ask for their permission to continue funding.

00:37:13.000 So he has a lot of room to do things immediately, but then afterwards he has to mop it up.

00:37:18.000 Is that because of the post-Patriot Act or is that what it was?

00:37:21.000 Pre-Patriot Act.

00:37:23.000 He's always had the ability to just – he can just do a few things, 48 hours to notify Congress.

00:37:29.000 Now, I don't know about the nuclear.

00:37:30.000 I don't know if launching nuclear weapons falls under that.

00:37:34.000 Like blowing up an enemy ship maybe would be considered.

00:37:37.000 Because it's an emergency and you don't have time to appeal to Congress.

00:37:39.000 It's not even really an emergency.

00:37:41.000 Department of Defense can do it.

00:37:43.000 President Trump authorizes from the Situation Room.

00:37:45.000 They inform Congress within 48 hours he's within the rules.

00:37:49.000 Of declaring.

00:37:50.000 That's how conflicts.

00:37:52.000 Okay.

00:37:52.000 All right.

00:37:52.000 I mean.

00:37:54.000 You didn't know that?

00:37:55.000 No.

00:37:56.000 Not that.

00:37:57.000 No, no, no.

00:37:57.000 I thought like.

00:37:58.000 He's a commander in chief of the military.

00:38:00.000 He's allowed to.

00:38:00.000 He can.

00:38:02.000 Fully direct the military to do operations.

00:38:05.000 Ian, when was the last time you went to the White House?

00:38:07.000 I don't think I've ever been.

00:38:08.000 You've never been?

00:38:09.000 I've never been.

00:38:10.000 I watched that in totality two days ago.

00:38:13.000 I was like, I owe it to Dave Smith and Douglas.

00:38:15.000 I gotta watch this.

00:38:16.000 Here we are.

00:38:16.000 Have you been to Iran?

00:38:18.000 No.

00:38:19.000 Oh, well, none of us have.

00:38:21.000 I've been to Saudi Arabia.

00:38:23.000 I've been falsely accused of going to a Holocaust deniers conference in Iran by the SPLC, which is not true.

00:38:30.000 Two weeks ago, someone called into an earlier program on Sirius and accused me of being an honorary member, having received honorary membership in the KKK.

00:38:39.000 Here's another thing about them trying to stop their bomb. 0.66

00:38:41.000 Well, you know, the KKK's new DEI program is, you know.

00:38:45.000 I mean, if they want me, they can honor me as long as they like.

00:38:48.000 We obviously don't care for the KKK.

00:38:50.000 But anyway, Tim, what I want to know is – because obviously we're sitting around here at this table discussing this.

00:38:56.000 I wish – talk about going to the White House.

00:38:58.000 I want to go in the situation where everyone's just sit in on a discussion surrounding what they actually know about Fordo.

00:39:04.000 I feel like they know so much more than what we could possibly – This is my concern with Trump meeting with Bannon because – and apparently – I don't know.

00:39:13.000 I think Tucker called Trump and then apologized.

00:39:17.000 For saying that he went a little too far with the things he said.

00:39:20.000 Because Tucker had said that Trump was complicit in this war.

00:39:22.000 But it also said Trump was negotiating in good faith to stop it.

00:39:26.000 So I think Tucker deserves a great deal of respect in that regard.

00:39:29.000 But meeting with Bannon and the talk with Tucker, my concern is Trump's basically saying to them, guys, you know me, here's why.

00:39:37.000 Like Bannon worked with Trump in the White House.

00:39:39.000 Bannon's like, no, no, no, we can't do this.

00:39:41.000 Trump sits down with Bannon and says, here's what I can tell you.

00:39:43.000 Slides a piece of paper over and be like, this is why we do what we do. 0.98

00:39:46.000 And then Bannon might be like, holy crap. 0.98

00:39:49.000 If the president, any president, were just like, I want to fire missiles at that building in that country, they can just do it. 0.96

00:39:56.000 And then they have 48 hours to go to Congress and be like – They can do it over and over and over and over and over again?

00:40:01.000 No, no, no, Ian, that's not how it works.

00:40:02.000 The president, if he wants to blow up a building, can just do it, and he goes to no one, and then just smiles, puts on a tan suit, and everyone forgets about it.

00:40:09.000 post-Patriot Act reality, but before that, Let me tell you about Barack Obama's disposition matrix, where he'd be like— And then he went to no one.

00:40:21.000 And no one did anything about it.

00:40:22.000 They didn't do anything because he was the first black president.

00:40:25.000 and you couldn't be on the wrong side of history by disagreeing with him.

00:40:27.000 The reason I'm bringing this up in time is- He was.

00:40:30.000 And Americans at that. 0.69

00:40:31.000 I mean, obviously the guy was, you know, hanging out with Al Qaeda.

00:40:34.000 But he was still an American citizen.

00:40:35.000 The way that Trump is dangling it.

00:40:37.000 His kid.

00:40:38.000 Right.

00:40:38.000 Abdurrahman wasn't hanging out with anybody.

00:40:40.000 He was just eating Yemeni food.

00:40:43.000 The way that Trump is dangling the power right now of like, well, I could nuke him or maybe I won't.

00:40:48.000 It's like one guy.

00:40:49.000 We're supposed to have a democracy that prevents one guy from having that kind of power.

00:40:53.000 No.

00:40:53.000 Yes.

00:40:54.000 No.

00:40:55.000 Hey, listen to me.

00:40:57.000 No.

00:40:58.000 Tell me why.

00:41:00.000 Because in the Constitution, it clearly says that the president is the commander-in-chief of the military.

00:41:08.000 The Constitution intentionally gave the power to command the military to the president.

00:41:15.000 It's Article 2 power.

00:41:16.000 And the war declaration.

00:41:18.000 No, not declarations.

00:41:19.000 But he can engage in strikes.

00:41:21.000 He can move military around.

00:41:22.000 And the reason why, and the reason why the founding fathers did this, is because they learned the history of committee, democracy, and anarchy of the past.

00:41:29.000 Great examples throughout history of when Senate meeting!

00:41:35.000 And they all run together, and then their cities are being rancid.

00:41:37.000 And three weeks later, they're still meeting at the table while everything's going wrong.

00:41:41.000 So that's why he can respond immediately, because the president is the only one who gets the highly classified briefings on a daily basis, or every other day, or whatever schedule he sets, where he gets intel briefings on what's going on around the world, and the requests are then made by the Department of Defense, or whoever, that they want to move these troops, or do this or that, or this general wants to.

00:42:02.000 I can't remember the guy's name, but he was in charge.

00:42:05.000 He had been called on the carpet by a bunch of female. 1.00

00:42:08.000 And they were upset with him because he gave the order to kill 200 mercenaries that were in between our operators and their targets in Syria.

00:42:17.000 And he said, yeah, I gave the order and we eliminated them because they were mercenaries and they're affiliated with no other military.

00:42:22.000 So we were not required to give any notice.

00:42:24.000 We wiped them out because they were in our way.

00:42:26.000 Next question.

00:42:26.000 Well, he was able to do that because he'd been given authorization.

00:42:29.000 And that was the rules of engagement and how far he could go set by every president.

00:42:34.000 Like President Trump.

00:42:36.000 Authorized the dropping of the MOAB during his first term.

00:42:39.000 He gave that authorization.

00:42:41.000 And then he said afterwards, if you need to use it again, we don't have to go through all these hoops.

00:42:45.000 Just do it.

00:42:46.000 So they used it one time.

00:42:47.000 But it's up to the president to set the rules of engagement and what type of authorizations they need from him.

00:42:53.000 But at the end of the day, he can authorize and then go back to Congress after.

00:42:58.000 I appreciate authorizational authority.

00:42:59.000 You need it to remain agile in conflict.

00:43:02.000 If we're planning an invasion of another country, it's not an emergency.

00:43:06.000 We have weeks to debate this in Congress.

00:43:09.000 It's Congress's decision whether or not we're going to deploy troops or missiles on a foreign nation that has not aggressed on us.

00:43:14.000 I don't think that we're at a point where we're planning an invasion.

00:43:18.000 That's what we've been talking about.

00:43:20.000 But wait, I'm just going to get with you right here.

00:43:22.000 We're going to link up arms on this.

00:43:25.000 Congressional authority.

00:43:26.000 Should mean that they're already in meetings with him demanding to know when he's going to come and present his plans to Congress.

00:43:32.000 But we haven't had a Congress like that since I've been an adult.

00:43:36.000 So, I mean, they've ceded everything that's their responsibility to the bureaucracy or to the executive or to Supreme Court.

00:43:43.000 So they don't have to be the ones to take responsibility for it because they're up for election every two years.

00:43:48.000 They don't care about that.

00:43:49.000 So the Nimitz is supposed to arrive tomorrow.

00:43:51.000 My bet is still that...

00:43:57.000 We don't want to engage in hostilities.

00:43:59.000 Then, for whatever reason, I'm not going to speculate, is anything beyond U.S. forces are attacked in the region by Iran or Iranian-backed forces, and then the U.S. says, we have no choice but to intervene.

00:44:08.000 You'll find a passport floating in the water.

00:44:12.000 It's proof it was an Iranian submarine. 0.85

00:44:15.000 Shout-out to 9-11.

00:44:17.000 Shout-out to 9-11.

00:44:18.000 Check it out.

00:44:19.000 They found his passport.

00:44:20.000 I think I've heard of it.

00:44:21.000 It's proof.

00:44:23.000 Okay.

00:44:24.000 Shout it out.

00:44:25.000 I think you might be right, Tim.

00:44:26.000 The false flag potential right now.

00:44:28.000 And again, I'm not speculating his false flag.

00:44:30.000 It could even be a video of a thing getting blown up.

00:44:32.000 So already, already we've got several tankers have been either collided, There have been reports that the tankers that are going through the Strait of Hormuz are registering as being in rural Russia because of the signal jamming.

00:44:48.000 It's already going on because of the war.

00:44:50.000 Iran is reportedly threatening to shut the strait down.

00:44:53.000 It's a power move they have because they control so much of it, which is going to piss off the Asian peninsula – I'm sorry, the Arabic peninsula. 1.00

00:45:01.000 And so the U.S. is going to say – and this is all speculative.

00:45:04.000 I'm probably wrong.

00:45:05.000 Maybe it's a 7% chance happening.

00:45:07.000 We are simply going to secure the access from the Persian Gulf out to the Indian Ocean so that our trade partners can keep trading their fuels and supplies.

00:45:18.000 And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion on the Nimitz.

00:45:22.000 There's a loss of life.

00:45:23.000 Reports all across the U.S. saying Iran has formally attacked.

00:45:27.000 And then they're going to say, this is war.

00:45:28.000 And how could you disagree?

00:45:29.000 And it triggers a defensive pact, I'm sure, somewhere.

00:45:32.000 Being the one that got attacked gives all your defensive allies a trigger.

00:45:36.000 Saudi Arabia, they'll all say, like, this is horrible.

00:45:39.000 We condemn this attack.

00:45:41.000 We stand with the United States.

00:45:43.000 And then you get war.

00:45:45.000 I got mixed feelings on the Iranian.

00:45:47.000 I mean, I can't.

00:45:48.000 I will say this.

00:45:49.000 Look, considering the way things are going in Trump's first term with the Abraham Accords, I'd love it if Iran, if there was a meaningful diplomatic way that changed the culture or the government structure by which the Abraham Accords could succeed without Iranian. 0.96

00:46:05.000 Interference.

00:46:05.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:46:06.000 And so I think one of the things that a lot of these neocon types, interventionalists are looking at is Trump hit a grand slam with the Abraham Accords.

00:46:16.000 Normalization of trade with Israel and other Muslim nations.

00:46:19.000 Iran's the holdout. 0.99

00:46:20.000 I mean, they are the major thorn in the side of these agreements.

00:46:23.000 Trump wants world peace.

00:46:25.000 I genuinely believe that.

00:46:27.000 And you can make every argument you want.

00:46:29.000 But I would say to the leftists when they're like, Trump doesn't care about, he's an ego.

00:46:32.000 Then my argument to liberals is this.

00:46:34.000 Trump's got such an ego.

00:46:35.000 He wants a gigantic golden statue of him for all time of the man who brought about world peace.

00:46:41.000 He wants that legacy.

00:46:43.000 Iran stands in his way. 0.97

00:46:45.000 I think.

00:47:04.000 motioned a plan to withdraw from Afghanistan, which was something that active duty service members had been asking for for over a decade.

00:47:10.000 So Whatever the reasoning is behind what he wants to piece, he wants it because he wants to take credit.

00:47:17.000 Okay, great.

00:47:18.000 Take credit.

00:47:19.000 Question is piece at what cost?

00:47:20.000 Someone in chat says draft Congress also.

00:47:23.000 Seconded.

00:47:24.000 Draft kings.

00:47:26.000 No.

00:47:26.000 Draft kings.

00:47:27.000 Draft them all.

00:47:28.000 They're so old, guys.

00:47:29.000 Come on.

00:47:30.000 Sure.

00:47:30.000 I don't care.

00:47:31.000 They still have to go?

00:47:33.000 They should have to vote for the declaration.

00:47:35.000 if they vote yes then they're on the front line like when I'm looking at I've got to tell you, Ian, I've played many a game of Civilization.

00:47:59.000 Here's the way I play.

00:48:00.000 You ever play Civilization?

00:48:01.000 No.

00:48:02.000 One of the greatest games ever, but the new one apparently was miserably bad.

00:48:04.000 Yes, I've heard that.

00:48:05.000 But what I do is I usually just – so the game starts and you're like a little nomadic settler and you build a little city.

00:48:11.000 I immediately produce settlers and I secure a large swath of land for my country.

00:48:17.000 It's like Age of Empires.

00:48:18.000 Yeah.

00:48:18.000 And then what I do is I heavily focus on developing technology, make a strong military, and the moment anyone attacks, I flatten them.

00:48:28.000 Kind of like NATO.

00:48:28.000 So I will not.

00:48:30.000 Invade anybody.

00:48:31.000 I'll mind my own business.

00:48:32.000 But they always try, and there's a little dude who breaks in, and then I immediately just slam their country and take it over.

00:48:38.000 Well, what if someone's just walking a settler through your territory?

00:48:41.000 You attack the settler and take it?

00:48:42.000 Well, if I have an agreement with that country to allow open borders?

00:48:46.000 What if it's just a country you don't have any agreements with?

00:48:48.000 Do you take the settler if it's available? 0.99

00:48:50.000 The settler has to be killed.

00:48:52.000 No, I'm pretty sure in Civilization, I don't know if the later editions are different, you can't send any kind of unit into enemy borders.

00:49:01.000 Oh, I mean outside your borders.

00:49:02.000 Just if you see him walking around in neutral territory, will you attack and take a settler?

00:49:05.000 Oh, I will.

00:49:06.000 No.

00:49:06.000 You want to win.

00:49:07.000 You need to win.

00:49:08.000 That's why you're playing, is to win.

00:49:09.000 My point is, I will mind my own business and go for a science or cultural victory.

00:49:14.000 Yeah, those are nice.

00:49:15.000 And if they attack me, then they get the full brunt of my force, and they will regret that attack.

00:49:19.000 If only it were so easy as a video game, because I'm with you.

00:49:21.000 I love playing that strategy, the turtle and fire route.

00:49:24.000 And you have the best tanks, the best missiles, the best aircraft, obliteration at a whim.

00:49:30.000 It's fun.

00:49:32.000 Unfortunately, reality has collateral damage and external emotions.

00:49:35.000 Video games don't have emotions.

00:49:37.000 I think pretty much everyone on Earth is concerned with the theocracy of the Iranian government, if you want to call it that.

00:49:44.000 I don't think they care about the Russians.

00:49:45.000 The Russians and the Chinese, I think they're looking at it like, They are, but they're very westernized. 0.61

00:49:52.000 They put aside all of the kind of more problematic tenets of Islam because they really want to have a good relationship with the West, especially the United States.

00:50:00.000 And we have our bases there.

00:50:02.000 They just recently, a few years back, allowed women to drive. 0.98

00:50:05.000 I drove when I was stationed there.

00:50:07.000 I drove, but I had to have on a military uniform.

00:50:09.000 And my hat on because you can't be driving there as a woman unless you're on active duty back then. 1.00

00:50:14.000 Now women can drive. 1.00

00:50:15.000 They're slowly modernizing in ways that we would notice, but for them it's huge steps.

00:50:20.000 What about race issues in Saudi Arabia?

00:50:23.000 When I was there, my gosh, those people were so nice.

00:50:26.000 We went off base.

00:50:28.000 So my main concern was not the people.

00:50:30.000 It was the religious police because you can't show your wrist bone, your collarbone, or your ankle bone as a woman. 1.00

00:50:36.000 So I had to wear jeans and long-sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, had to be buttoned up to the neck because they can't see this, or the religious police can beat you. 0.91

00:50:44.000 Even as a U.S. troop?

00:50:46.000 Well, they would give you a warning, but you'd have to immediately leave the area.

00:50:51.000 I was told by my commander, we don't want incidents here.

00:50:54.000 So you're not going to show those things because we don't want to have to come rescue you from the police.

00:50:59.000 But the big deal with the Saudis is, didn't President Trump just give him a nickname?

00:51:03.000 He said, this is my friend Johnny MBS.

00:51:05.000 His nickname is now Johnny.

00:51:06.000 I mean, these people really want to be in close relationship with America.

00:51:10.000 They do.

00:51:10.000 So the idea, it's not so much that the rest of the world hates the theocracy of Iran.

00:51:15.000 They hate Iran funding the Houthis, the Yemenis, the Hamas, the terror attack on Israel.

00:51:22.000 They hate them funding that.

00:51:24.000 And they have killed American troops.

00:51:26.000 They have kidnapped our troops and our soldiers.

00:51:28.000 We can attribute up to 600 of our troop deaths over the last 20 years to the Iranians directly.

00:51:33.000 I want regime change in Iran. 0.66

00:51:36.000 I want regime change in Russia and China.

00:51:39.000 I'm just not willing to advocate U.S. intervention for those things.

00:51:43.000 I think it's fair to say that we look at many of the BRICS nations and they're bad and we don't like them. 1.00

00:51:48.000 But to what extent are people willing to sacrifice other people's blood and treasure to get something that they hope for? 0.89

00:51:55.000 When we have all this crap going on here at home, the homeless people, the encampments. 0.99

00:52:01.000 The violence of the left. 0.99

00:52:02.000 I saw a video earlier today that was viral. 0.61

00:52:05.000 It was on Instagram of this black guy.

00:52:08.000 And he's like kind of leaned back talking about how the Democrats are morphing into America's Hamas.

00:52:13.000 And I was like, wow, that's extreme.

00:52:15.000 And so he goes through this list of things that Democrats are doing.

00:52:17.000 I don't know if I disagree.

00:52:18.000 Well, I couldn't either at the end of it.

00:52:20.000 I was like, oh, I see your point.

00:52:22.000 But that's a real problem we need to address.

00:52:24.000 We need to address that.

00:52:26.000 And there's the other issue I wrote about this in my book.

00:52:28.000 What if we took the amount of money and energy we've spent in the Middle East and instead spent that in Mexico?

00:52:35.000 My gosh, we're a 30 some odd percent of their GDP.

00:52:39.000 There's remittances and American businesses in their country.

00:52:42.000 They're literally the original 51st state.

00:52:44.000 They're talking about taking back the territory that they lost in the Mexican War.

00:52:49.000 I have such a problem with that.

00:52:50.000 They had it for 27 years or something like that.

00:52:53.000 The U.S. has had it for like 150 or whatever. 0.99

00:52:56.000 Like, shut up.

00:52:57.000 We bought it for 15 million and they gave the rest up because we won the war. 0.98

00:53:00.000 That's a non-issue.

00:53:01.000 But they talk about that.

00:53:02.000 What I'm saying is, why are we allowing a narco state to operate to our south when it's so dangerous for us losing 125? 1.00

00:53:08.000 I think we're good to go.

00:53:36.000 Straightforward, normal, diplomatic approach.

00:53:39.000 I think Trump's Yosemite Sam strategy, where he's firing wildly into the air and you don't know what he's going to do.

00:53:47.000 And I'm half kidding, but Trump's, when he's talking about these news reports about nukes, then saying two weeks, I've read some assessments.

00:53:56.000 Obviously, people who like Trump say he's playing 5D chess all the time.

00:54:00.000 But one of the assessments that I was reading was that Trump basically floats the idea intentionally that nukes are on the table without saying, yes, we're going to nuke you.

00:54:08.000 But, oh, I don't know. 0.90

00:54:09.000 You know, that's what they're telling me because he wants Iran to be concerned that Trump's a crazy enough guy to actually do it.

00:54:16.000 It's never been done before.

00:54:17.000 But also waiting two weeks puts Iran in a pressure cooker where they have to sustain rocket fire on Israel without knowing whether the U.S. will intervene.

00:54:29.000 And Iran needs to hold back some of its missiles in the event the U.S. does launch an attack.

00:54:42.000 If they say yes, then they're in a weakened stance against Israel.

00:54:46.000 But they're already holding them back because they did like 175 and then 70 and then 25. They're already holding them back.

00:54:52.000 It may be because Trump has said, if they're holding them back, that means Israel is going to take less fire.

00:54:59.000 They may be able to replenish interceptors.

00:55:02.000 And then after two weeks, Trump goes, no, we ain't doing nothing.

00:55:04.000 And then Iran's been sitting on a stockpile they haven't used.

00:55:06.000 So he's basically put them in a bind where they can't make a move.

00:55:10.000 Well, that makes sense.

00:55:12.000 But again, the Yosemite Sam thing that people attribute to Trump, I love that because if you sit in a room, if you listen to the people who sit around with Trump all the time, they tell stories about how knowledgeable he is.

00:55:23.000 Like he knows all the troop strengths and the locations of all the countries around Iran.

00:55:26.000 And he can draw a map on a regular blank sheet of paper and tell you where all the troops are.

00:55:31.000 And he asks questions about, why are these 500 guys right here?

00:55:35.000 Well, why don't we get them out of there?

00:55:36.000 Because they're right in the line of fire and we don't need them there anymore.

00:55:39.000 That's the kind of commander-in-chief he is.

00:55:41.000 So Yosemite Sam is the outer, like that's the presentation.

00:55:45.000 But underneath, the man has a mind like a steel trap.

00:55:47.000 He never forgets anything.

00:55:49.000 And he has a strategy for what he's trying to get done.

00:55:52.000 Who are our top generals that he works with?

00:55:54.000 Oh, I don't know their names.

00:55:55.000 That's a surprise.

00:55:56.000 It's kind of the first time in history or in American – normally we have like very famous American generals, so it's kind of strange that there aren't – like we had Colin Powell up until – Oh, I know.

00:56:04.000 Now, he was – yeah, he was very out front.

00:56:07.000 I don't know what their names are.

00:56:08.000 I should know this off the top of my head, and I don't know why I'm – Yeah, I don't know.

00:56:11.000 But I do know that it was Wesley – Wesley Clark?

00:56:15.000 What is his name?

00:56:16.000 He's a legislator out of Texas who had been sitting with President Trump, and he told that story at one of the holiday events.

00:56:24.000 Sitting with President Trump and him drawing this map out and talking about troop strength.

00:56:28.000 So my big deal is, I just think President Trump has a plan for it.

00:56:35.000 So people will say, oh, you're a cultist.

00:56:37.000 I'm not a cultist.

00:56:38.000 But I do think the man has a record of results.

00:56:41.000 He drove ISIS out of business during the first term.

00:56:43.000 He got the Abraham Accords, as you mentioned.

00:56:46.000 And he was very strong on recruitment.

00:56:50.000 And then we were down.

00:56:52.000 24,000 in one year in recruiting in the Army.

00:56:54.000 They eliminated 12,000 positions to try to keep the numbers from being that bad.

00:56:59.000 Now we've met our recruiting goals for the U.S. Navy.

00:57:02.000 We're in month six of the year, and we've got 58,000 new seamen coming in.

00:57:07.000 So Trump's, his methodology works.

00:57:10.000 We're now refilling our military ranks.

00:57:13.000 But we're not there yet.

00:57:14.000 We don't need a conflict that involves boots on the ground because we are low on troop strength and our military as it is now, according to Pete Hegseth, there's a lot of people who their body shape is like mine when it should have been like mine when I was on active duty.

00:57:27.000 That's not good.

00:57:28.000 What did they say?

00:57:28.000 The Navy filled its recruitment quota three months early?

00:57:31.000 Yeah.

00:57:31.000 Pete Hegseth, let's go!

00:57:33.000 Yeah, he's been going out meeting with these guys and talking to them and bringing them in.

00:57:37.000 It's amazing.

00:57:38.000 I love it, but again, Let's do it three years from now when everything's up to snuff and the Navy is back where it needs to be.

00:57:47.000 We have a lot of deficiencies.

00:57:49.000 I think the cartels are a bigger national security threat, much higher on the list than well before Iran.

00:57:55.000 And it's silly that Ukraine and Iran are such huge priorities for our government and our media apparatus when for four years Joe Biden had a porous open border with drug smugglers, cartels, coyotes, etc.

00:58:06.000 And the human trafficking.

00:58:08.000 Human trafficking.

00:58:08.000 I mean, so people don't really understand what it means when we lose 350,000 minors who are unabashed.

00:58:16.000 We lose 350,000 of them.

00:58:17.000 I think so far they've only found 75,000. 0.98

00:58:20.000 So they're working in chicken processing plants and they are sexual slaves. 1.00

00:58:24.000 They're slaves in some of these leftist homes. 0.78

00:58:26.000 They're living there full-time and working for free.

00:58:28.000 They're not going to school.

00:58:30.000 They're not having a childhood.

00:58:31.000 They're slaves here.

00:58:32.000 But if we deport them, who's going to pick our crops?

00:58:35.000 Well, I know.

00:58:35.000 Because Jasmine Crockett said, ain't none of us doing any of that anymore.

00:58:39.000 We've come up.

00:58:41.000 It's like replace the slaves.

00:58:43.000 Oh my gosh!

00:58:43.000 I know.

00:58:44.000 I don't even think she understood what she said.

00:58:46.000 She was saying it's our turn now.

00:58:47.000 Well, it's the Mexicans and the Northern Triangle countries' turns now. 0.99

00:58:50.000 Did you guys see Michael Malice in that video?

00:58:54.000 I think so, yeah.

00:58:54.000 He's wearing the suit with the white wig and he says, he said the solution for operations, there are, what did he say, there's 41 million Canadians and 40 million black Americans.

00:59:04.000 Well, there's 52 million black Americans, but yeah.

00:59:06.000 So he's wrong, but he said we enslave Canada and give each black American one Canadian slave.

00:59:12.000 Do you understand how I don't want that? 0.69

00:59:15.000 I don't want a Canadian to be responsible for it. 1.00

00:59:17.000 My gosh, have you seen some of the Canadians they have?

00:59:20.000 Those people are hardcore leftists.

00:59:21.000 They're like our fire-breathing Californians.

00:59:25.000 I'd have to be crazy to take somebody like that on.

00:59:27.000 I agree with you totally, but it is the only option that's worse than having the Canadians vote.

00:59:34.000 But I want to hear you say that to Michael when he makes the joke, because that response was perfect.

00:59:39.000 I don't want a Canadian. 1.00

00:59:40.000 I don't want one. 0.99

00:59:41.000 Purple-haired obese. 0.53

00:59:42.000 Thank you.

00:59:42.000 Somebody who's angry all the time and would continually call me an Uncle Tom and yell at me all day.

00:59:47.000 I don't need that.

00:59:48.000 My kids are really easy.

00:59:49.000 That would be like having a kid, like one of those rebellious kids that ends up in military camp or military school.

00:59:55.000 That's horrible.

00:59:56.000 Nobody wants a Canadian. 1.00

00:59:57.000 I think the reason why they've deprioritized the Mexican cartels, which I agree seem to be a big problem, is because a lot of fentanyls are coming through Canada. 0.99

01:00:07.000 I don't even know, maybe most is the wrong word, a lot, especially since the border's been shut down.

01:00:11.000 Chinese will run the precursor to the fentanyl development into Canada. 0.96

01:00:14.000 The Canadians will develop it, and then they'll sometimes, it goes back and forth between Canada and China, and then across the port.

01:00:23.000 Let me float my ideas.

01:00:24.000 Here are all my good ideas.

01:00:25.000 Canada is a territory because we can't give them two senators and we certainly couldn't give them the number of congressmen they would get because their population is bigger than California.

01:00:34.000 They would get a lot.

01:00:37.000 So we don't want that.

01:00:38.000 So they're a territory.

01:00:39.000 They have no votes.

01:00:40.000 They're just now on the dole, but we own them so it's a good thing.

01:00:43.000 We could do some more military installations up there because, you know, we'll just basically go up top.

01:00:47.000 And then with Greenland, we take that.

01:00:52.000 They have a deficit every year of $650 million.

01:00:54.000 We just fill that up because that's nothing.

01:00:56.000 That's not even a rounding error for us.

01:00:57.000 A rounding error for us is $6 billion.

01:00:59.000 So we give them $650 million a year.

01:01:02.000 We own that.

01:01:03.000 A few more military bases, some tourism, ship some regular Americans up there.

01:01:07.000 And then Mexico, we basically eliminate the drug cartels and Claudia Scheinbaum becomes a governor. 1.00

01:01:15.000 And that's a whole state, Mexico.

01:01:17.000 But we divide it basically.

01:01:20.000 Do they get senators? 0.99

01:01:21.000 I think so.

01:01:23.000 It's big.

01:01:23.000 It's the United Mexican States.

01:01:25.000 There's like 40 states in Mexico.

01:01:27.000 I think the United States of America is Mexican America and it's all Northern America. 0.88

01:01:34.000 We're all Americans.

01:01:35.000 We're all United States.

01:01:36.000 That's totally wrong.

01:01:37.000 That's totally wrong.

01:01:38.000 I just wanted to say.

01:01:39.000 Okay.

01:01:39.000 All right.

01:01:40.000 Come on.

01:01:40.000 When we occupy Canada, we force them to mass produce poutine to deliver to the lower And we seize their strategic maple syrup reserve.

01:01:55.000 That's a real thing.

01:01:55.000 It sounds delicious, but I don't think we can invade Canada.

01:01:58.000 Do we not have enough maple syrup of our own?

01:02:00.000 I will say, we can invade Canada, and we will not.

01:02:02.000 It's not about enough.

01:02:03.000 It's about owning that.

01:02:05.000 It's that you always need more.

01:02:07.000 The problem with joking about invading Canada is it's like beating your little brother, and he'll grow up to destroy you, so you've got to take them seriously. 1.00

01:02:15.000 Don't fuck with the Canadians. 1.00

01:02:16.000 They're our best friends in the world. 1.00

01:02:19.000 As someone from another country, they're the most like us of anyone else.

01:02:22.000 For agricultural reasons, there's no way that Canada grows up to crush the United States.

01:02:27.000 It would just side with China. 0.85

01:02:28.000 China would be like, we will give you full autonomy to be your own independent state and we will fund your military.

01:02:32.000 That would be them beating us back if it came to that.

01:02:35.000 Canadians don't really have a military anymore.

01:02:37.000 So they would either appeal to us or to the Chinese?

01:02:39.000 Sorry to interrupt you.

01:02:40.000 We are their military.

01:02:43.000 What is that guy, Tosh, he has a joke about it.

01:02:45.000 He says America is the big fat, like, Belt of security or something like that for the Canadians.

01:02:53.000 He basically says they don't have to worry about anything because America is here and so therefore they are safe in perpetuity.

01:02:59.000 They got scared during their last election because all this rhetoric about we're going to conquer Canada and it's like kind of funny but they were terrified.

01:03:06.000 A lot of terrified people that voted in.

01:03:08.000 I talked to Conrad Black and you know who told me the reason why they don't want to be a part of the United States?

01:03:11.000 because we have a history of slavery and they do not.

01:03:16.000 Who said that?

01:03:17.000 That was Conrad Black.

01:03:18.000 He came on my show and talked about how the Canadians don't have a history of slavery, the assorted history of slavery that the Americans have.

01:03:23.000 And I said, yeah, but we went to war with ourselves and we actually came out of it a single country.

01:03:27.000 We've already atoned for slavery.

01:03:28.000 That's in our past.

01:03:29.000 So you guys could still be a part of us.

01:03:31.000 And he was like, we don't want to.

01:03:32.000 Maybe the Democrats haven't.

01:03:34.000 They haven't learned their lesson.

01:03:34.000 They haven't atoned for anything.

01:03:36.000 They're still trying to enslave everybody.

01:03:38.000 This is why I was saying I like Juneteenth.

01:03:40.000 Because a lot of conservatives are saying it's a fake hall and all that stuff.

01:03:42.000 And I understand that because it's not a cultural tradition of the United States.

01:03:45.000 But I was like, this is a day we celebrate the Republicans' victory over the Democrats.

01:03:49.000 Yeah.

01:03:50.000 And the Democrats still keeping slaves after it was outlawed.

01:03:54.000 That's right.

01:03:54.000 That's why they wanted to be the ones to make it a holiday because they want to try to own it just like every other thing that they do.

01:04:00.000 They're doing something wrong to you.

01:04:14.000 And they want to raise money.

01:04:15.000 That's it.

01:04:15.000 Until Trump, who then says when you try to place blame on him, I'm not taking your blame.

01:04:21.000 And then the curse words come out and then you understand you're not.

01:04:23.000 Well, they have a tantrum. 0.96

01:04:25.000 So here's how I describe the past 10 years.

01:04:27.000 The Democrats are flinging feces on the walls and screaming, and the Republicans are going, oh, geez, Democrats, oh, geez.

01:04:35.000 Let me help you clean that up.

01:04:37.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:04:37.000 Trump comes in, and he whacks the kid in the back of the head. 0.99

01:04:40.000 He's like, stop doing that!

01:04:42.000 And then the kid starts screaming.

01:04:43.000 It's like a spoiled child.

01:04:45.000 It's like no one's ever reprimanded before.

01:04:47.000 So then they start saying, like, I'm going to accuse you of beating me.

01:04:50.000 I'm going to call DCFS.

01:04:51.000 And he's like, I don't care.

01:04:52.000 Do it.

01:04:52.000 Gets investigated.

01:04:54.000 Wins, comes back, and now they're crying in the corner because they're losing.

01:04:57.000 Yeah.

01:04:58.000 And they are losing. 0.68

01:04:59.000 Their polls are in the trash.

01:05:00.000 They were very much like if we're all on a boat together, obsessed with who's in charge of the boat and what are the politics on the boat.

01:05:06.000 Trump comes in and is like, bro, there's holes in the ship.

01:05:08.000 We're going down.

01:05:09.000 Let's fix this.

01:05:10.000 And it's hard to hate that.

01:05:12.000 Well, so there's holes in the ship.

01:05:14.000 It's going down.

01:05:14.000 And the Democrats are like, this guy's going to stop us from stealing the fine china before we get out of here on the life rafts.

01:05:21.000 Well, the Democrats actually have another problem, which is the poll numbers, the 21%, 17% most recently.

01:05:28.000 I've been enjoying this a lot.

01:05:30.000 Like, you know, I think Greg Gutfeld said, when your enemy is on the ground, don't let him get back up.

01:05:34.000 I like him down there.

01:05:35.000 But the issue that they have is they're trying to find a new identity.

01:05:38.000 So the No Kings protest, did you notice?

01:05:41.000 It's, you know, everybody's got on American flag gear.

01:05:44.000 Everybody's waving an American flag.

01:05:46.000 I mean, there were some Palestinian flags.

01:05:47.000 There were some holdouts, some Mexican flags, but everybody was mostly an American flag year.

01:05:51.000 They were smiling.

01:05:52.000 They were waving.

01:05:53.000 They were being friendly.

01:05:54.000 They didn't block the roads.

01:05:55.000 And especially in St. Louis, they had four different...

01:05:57.000 Do you think that's a phenomenon because of the age of the average?

01:06:02.000 They were elderly, it's true, but there were some young ones there and some of them brought their grandkids.

01:06:07.000 But the big deal is they wanted to adopt a Tea Party-esque.

01:06:10.000 They even had some people with Gadsden flags out there.

01:06:13.000 They're trying to adopt a Tea Party-esque new attitude because they want better poll numbers and it's not going to work.

01:06:18.000 Let's jump to the story from ABC4.

01:06:21.000 Man arrested in connection with deadly protest shooting in SLC ordered to be released Friday.

01:06:26.000 Attorneys for Arturo Gamboa, the man who was arrested following the deadly shooting at the No Kings protest, filed a petition claiming that he is being unlawfully detained.

01:06:34.000 And a judge ordered him to be released Friday.

01:06:36.000 I will say it right now.

01:06:37.000 Free Gamboa.

01:06:39.000 And he's Antifa, and I don't care.

01:06:41.000 He's a known leftist.

01:06:42.000 He was wearing all black.

01:06:44.000 He was in black block, armed with a rifle at this protest.

01:06:46.000 And you know what?

01:06:46.000 I mean, I like the guy's ideology or whatever, but the video evidence we've seen shows him walking peacefully and legally down the street when organizers, individuals who were working with the event and green vest liberals pulled out pistols and open fire on him for no reason and indiscriminately firing towards people.

01:07:09.000 I think it's a cover-up.

01:07:15.000 They're trying to find a reason why this guy's at fault, simply because he was open carrying a rifle.

01:07:21.000 I say, free Gamboa.

01:07:23.000 And it's based on the evidence I've seen so far.

01:07:25.000 I could be wrong, but I'll say this.

01:07:26.000 Based on what we know, drop the charges until we get real evidence that he actually did something wrong.

01:07:33.000 Apparently the witnesses lied and said that he raised the rifle at the crowd and that's why the peacekeepers fired at him.

01:07:54.000 He was just grabbing it to run away from the people shooting at him.

01:07:58.000 So apparently he's going to be released on Friday.

01:08:02.000 They say the SLC district attorney's office wrote an order to release Gamboa and presented to the judge who signed it.

01:08:08.000 On Friday, Deputy District Attorney Joshua N. Graves told the court the state had been able to review preliminary evidence and they would not be able to make an informed decision as to whether charges against Mr. Gamboa will be filed or declined before his scheduled date of June 23rd.

01:08:22.000 I think that's the right thing.

01:08:24.000 I think the organizers of the 50501 movement in Utah need to be held accountable in some capacity that they would bring people down, refuse to work with police.

01:08:37.000 This is how far this goes.

01:08:39.000 It's the 50501 movement. 0.89

01:08:42.000 They organized the event.

01:08:43.000 They had armed men working for them because they didn't want to work with cops.

01:08:48.000 So that unsanctioned armed dudes who opened fire, there's got to be some kind of civil penalty or liability for what they did, and I believe the men who opened fire need to be held responsible for the bullets they launched and the person they killed.

01:09:04.000 The family of the person that died definitely has a wrongful death suit that they could bring.

01:09:11.000 I think Gamboa needs to sue him too, because they shot him.

01:09:13.000 He got graced.

01:09:14.000 Yeah, I mean, any gun owner that...

01:09:24.000 That's right.

01:09:24.000 That's why you have trigger discipline.

01:09:25.000 Check this out.

01:09:26.000 Check this out.

01:09:27.000 Quote, this is, um, I believe his attorney, Greg Skortis.

01:09:31.000 Quote, all of the evidence confirms that he was lawfully and openly carrying an unloaded firearm on a public road.

01:09:37.000 He never brandished it, never fired it, never pointed it in the direction of anyone.

01:09:41.000 He was shot in the back by a person who needlessly shot two innocent men, killing one.

01:09:47.000 The investigation will continue to be carried out by the Salt Lake City Police Department.

01:09:51.000 The DA's office will continue to review as additional evidence is presented to us, the DA said.

01:09:58.000 If he was a Republican, he'd already be under the jail.

01:10:01.000 So, you know, he shot a man based on what he needs to be tried by and the preponderance of the evidence, jury of his peers.

01:10:09.000 Could you imagine if a Trump supporter...

01:10:14.000 The headlines the left would run, New York Times would say, MAGA gets dark, murders innocent left-wing activists. 0.72

01:10:22.000 MAGA murders a choir boy eating a donut.

01:10:24.000 Come on. 0.63

01:10:25.000 You can make him a wonderful person. 0.85

01:10:27.000 The way that Trump is working with the British and the Israelis right now makes me wonder if the media is going to back off him and let him and stop harassing him and MAGA and all this crap.

01:10:37.000 The way he's working with the agenda of the liberal economic order, Trump.

01:10:40.000 What does that have to do with?

01:10:41.000 I feel like because they use the media to demonize him and his followers because they were afraid he was going to seize control and give it back to the Americans.

01:10:48.000 I think he's made too many leaps at once.

01:10:56.000 That fervor of hatred in the media against MAGA seems to be dissipating as Trump.

01:11:04.000 Is acquiescing more towards the goals of the people that are controlling that media.

01:11:08.000 Which is?

01:11:09.000 Conquering the Middle East. 0.95

01:11:11.000 I don't know that I agree with that.

01:11:13.000 I think it's more so just that we're winning the culture war.

01:11:16.000 That's for sure happening.

01:11:18.000 The culture war is definitely in a much better place than it was when he was in office the first time.

01:11:23.000 And it's their fault.

01:11:24.000 They helped us.

01:11:24.000 It's the Bud Light effect.

01:11:27.000 The Democratic – a Democratic approval according to the latest poll on – I think it was Quinnipiac, 21 percent.

01:11:33.000 Republican was like 36 or something, which is like, OK, it's not good.

01:11:38.000 And it was funny because I posted this and someone was like, ha-ha, Tim Pool's argument is that what?

01:11:42.000 Republicans are only a little less bad?

01:11:44.000 And I'm like, quite literally, yes.

01:11:46.000 Well, that's it.

01:11:47.000 Yeah, but the shift is pretty phenomenal.

01:11:50.000 The number is not that large, but the shift from disapproval for Trump to approval for Trump is something like a 42-point swing compared to his first term.

01:11:59.000 So it doesn't look that great when you say, you know, approve, disapprove, just based on that Trump Democrats.

01:12:07.000 But if you're looking at.

01:12:18.000 We're all going to be outside licking the ground, eating grass because no food.

01:12:22.000 And here we all are.

01:12:23.000 So I got Amazon packages came this morning.

01:12:26.000 I saw them.

01:12:26.000 They sent me a picture.

01:12:27.000 My umbrella for the pool arrived this morning at like 5 a.m.

01:12:31.000 I'm telling you nothing has changed.

01:12:32.000 And the tariff deals are going to net us a lot of money.

01:12:37.000 At the Treasury, where it matters, because they're sucking us dry with the taxes.

01:12:41.000 But we are giving that money away in trade imbalances to foreign countries, and we're not going to be doing that anymore.

01:12:46.000 So our balance sheet is going to look a lot different.

01:12:48.000 And that matters to Americans because...

01:12:53.000 I'm tired of paying as much in taxes as I am.

01:12:55.000 I want more cuts.

01:12:56.000 The CCJA, to me, didn't go far enough.

01:12:58.000 I was happy for what I got, but it needs to go further.

01:13:00.000 So I get punished for actually busting my buns and working two jobs and trying to And they're taking more and more and more.

01:13:09.000 And the justification is, well, you know, progressive tax. 1.00

01:13:12.000 I'm sick of that crap. 1.00

01:13:13.000 And most Americans are sick of it. 1.00

01:13:15.000 It's not just me.

01:13:16.000 I'm not, you know, an outlier.

01:13:17.000 What was the TCJA you mentioned?

01:13:19.000 Oh, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

01:13:20.000 TCJA.

01:13:21.000 And it lowered taxes.

01:13:22.000 I didn't follow.

01:13:23.000 It lowered taxes in the first term and brought about the economic boom that helped us save.

01:13:28.000 Like, we literally survived COVID and the economic downturn because we were so strong coming out of the passage of the TCJA.

01:13:34.000 So you hear people talk about make Trump tax.

01:13:36.000 Tax cuts permanent.

01:13:37.000 Those are the ones we need.

01:13:40.000 He mentioned ending income tax at some point multiple times.

01:13:46.000 It's come out of his mouth that he wants to end income tax.

01:13:48.000 I don't know if it's possible.

01:13:49.000 It's so exciting.

01:13:51.000 You almost feel like you're going to faint when he says it.

01:13:53.000 I'm like, what?

01:13:54.000 Where are the Republicans?

01:13:55.000 They should all be around him jumping up and down like Elon Musk.

01:13:58.000 Yes!

01:13:58.000 We went in the income tax!

01:13:59.000 Even if he said, I'm going to reduce income tax by 50% across the board, I'd still jump for joy with the same excitement.

01:14:06.000 Any cuts.

01:14:07.000 Eliminate the top bracket.

01:14:09.000 Distribute everything down from there.

01:14:10.000 So the top bracket goes away and then everybody goes down from there.

01:14:15.000 That'd be a great start.

01:14:18.000 I pulled focus away from this shooting at this rally.

01:14:20.000 If you guys want to keep – if there's more to say about it, I – This story is a cover-up as far as I'm concerned.

01:14:28.000 For what?

01:14:29.000 The organizing team pulled out guns, fired indiscriminately to a crowd of people, and murdered an innocent man, and the cops arrested a random guy for open carrying.

01:14:38.000 So civil charges for the people that started the event, and then criminal charges for the shooter?

01:14:43.000 Civil penalty in some cases.

01:14:44.000 So here's the issue.

01:14:45.000 They don't want to work with police because they hate cops.

01:14:48.000 So they say instead, let's get some guys with guns. 0.84

01:14:50.000 Now, that's fine in most circumstances if your guys are trained and reasonable, but you are responsible for whatever comes out of the front of your gun.

01:14:58.000 So if you bring guys in because you don't want to work with cops and they shoot and murder an innocent guy, I say you should have some civil liability in that regard.

01:15:05.000 And to the point of, Phil, I think the family could sue them for that.

01:15:09.000 As for criminal penalties, you shoot a guy, you get in trouble for it.

01:15:13.000 They had no reason.

01:15:14.000 They had no reasonable fear of harm.

01:15:16.000 There was no threat.

01:15:18.000 I will never.

01:15:20.000 Stand by and simply have some liberal guy claim because a dude was carrying a rifle, he felt threatened, so he shot and murdered somebody.

01:15:27.000 Which is total BS.

01:15:29.000 Right.

01:15:29.000 This is America.

01:15:30.000 You're supposed to be able to carry a gun out in public and people don't flinch.

01:15:42.000 He's just out shooting people just because he doesn't like what they're holding in their hand.

01:15:45.000 And then the other part is yet another death at a leftist protest.

01:15:50.000 I mean when are we going to put a stop to that?

01:15:53.000 I think chaos right now.

01:15:56.000 It would be chaos if that was a cop.

01:15:57.000 Sorry.

01:15:57.000 They don't want the narrative to be that leftists are violent and kill.

01:16:02.000 They wanted always to be that the right is more violent, and that's why they buried this story.

01:16:08.000 And I think conservatives are too often playing catch-up with the narrative of the left, so this story went under the radar.

01:16:15.000 It is very often the liberals that—I mean, this is a fact.

01:16:19.000 The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC are setting the news cycle most of the time.

01:16:24.000 Washington Post.

01:16:24.000 It started to change.

01:16:26.000 It is shifting.

01:16:27.000 And we need to get away from that...

01:16:32.000 I don't know, era, I guess.

01:16:34.000 It's an interesting phenomenon because I think about both the Trump kind of taking control of declaring war or not and people like, why are people not up in arms about Congress not having control of the situation and deciding if we're going to be attacking Iran?

01:16:47.000 I see that of like, talk about controlling the narrative.

01:16:50.000 And omnibus bills.

01:16:52.000 The narrative of how dangerous an omnibus bill with Matt Gaetz coming on our live show in Miami and drilling that, how important that is to not have omnibus bills.

01:17:01.000 And then all of a sudden we got the big, beautiful bill and it's an omnibus bill and people are like...

01:17:09.000 Set the narrative.

01:17:10.000 When you ask congressional members about that, they're talking about so we have to have reconciliation package this time because our our majority is so slim.

01:17:18.000 We don't have enough to go through the traditional regular budgetary order process.

01:17:23.000 We don't have the votes.

01:17:25.000 We need the win to get through the midterms and hopefully increase our share of votes in Congress and in the Senate.

01:17:31.000 But then again, with gerrymandering, how many more congressional votes can we actually take?

01:17:36.000 We can take a few, but a major majority.

01:17:38.000 And then that takes us back to the immigration issue.

01:17:40.000 The reason that...

01:17:43.000 It's bad.

01:17:44.000 We'll acknowledge that.

01:17:45.000 But we also have 3.8 congressional seats that can be directly attributed to illegal aliens in the country counted for apportionment.

01:17:53.000 They're not supposed to be counted because they are not citizens.

01:17:55.000 So that Supreme Court ruling has given us an inflated congressional body that is skewed that doesn't actually reflect the populace of the United States.

01:18:04.000 So we have some real problems.

01:18:06.000 Like when you say President Trump That's why he spent the four years he was out of office working and trying to set up a system where he could hit the ground running because he only has four years.

01:18:19.000 And then we absolutely must elect a Republican for eight more years after that because this is a cleanup job of the size that – They're not getting anything done.

01:18:35.000 They should have had at least three pieces of solid legislation passed out of the House under consideration in the Senate, even if it's DOA because we can't get the 10 votes.

01:18:42.000 But why can't we get the 10 votes?

01:18:43.000 Why can't we get 10?

01:18:46.000 Ten Democrat senators in states where they actually have a chance of losing their seat to come alongside us and vote for things that make sense, like immigration reform and, you know, the tariffs or the rescissions packages, which admittedly those have at least passed one, but it was only for $9.4 billion.

01:19:04.000 To me, that's nothing.

01:19:05.000 Elon Musk has saved $175 billion.

01:19:07.000 Is it because they're afraid of getting ostracized from the party?

01:19:11.000 Who, the Democrats?

01:19:12.000 Yeah, the people that won't be like, vote for what makes sense.

01:19:14.000 Is it because party policy?

01:19:15.000 We have to force them to do what we want.

01:19:16.000 We have to force at least 10 of them.

01:19:18.000 Like, I just don't believe we can't do it.

01:19:20.000 That's the point of the omnibus.

01:19:21.000 If Trump deports all the illegal immigrants, and then five years from now they're on the census— So what that really means is they'll lose about 10 seats and they'll get reapportioned for Republicans up 10 seats.

01:19:39.000 And then they will end up with like a 23 to 25-seat majority.

01:19:43.000 And then it's going to get wild because the debates will only be between the Freedom Caucus and the neocons.

01:19:49.000 Well, I mean we have to have a problem, don't we?

01:19:52.000 I'd rather have that one.

01:19:53.000 Yeah, you said if he deports them all, 1 million, the estimate is between 750,000, a million of them have self-deported using the old CBP1 app that is not a CBP Home app.

01:20:02.000 Yeah, let's go.

01:20:03.000 We need more of that.

01:20:04.000 And, of course, there's a tiny bit of deportations he's done because every time you turn around, there's some Democrat Article III judge telling him he can't do this and he can't do that, which needs to be fixed by the Supreme Court or our do-nothing Congress.

01:20:14.000 Because Article III judges are actually chosen and allocated by… So who could defund those courts?

01:20:22.000 Congress.

01:20:22.000 Who controls the House?

01:20:23.000 We do.

01:20:24.000 I don't care if it's only by one vote.

01:20:25.000 We control it.

01:20:26.000 All we would have to do is defund one judge and the rest of them would recede back into their holes.

01:20:30.000 But they're not doing it.

01:20:31.000 Again, where are they?

01:20:33.000 Let's jump to this story from the Star Tribune.

01:20:36.000 Letter to the FBI from shooting suspect made wild claims about Klobuchar and Waltz, sources say.

01:20:41.000 Slow down! 0.97

01:20:42.000 That headlines terrible, Star Tribune.

01:20:44.000 What's the story?

01:20:45.000 How about this?

01:20:47.000 Vance Bolter, accused assassin, the man who they say went to the homes of these Democrats and killed them, reportedly claimed Tim Walz told him to do it.

01:20:56.000 Now, there's a headline.

01:20:57.000 I wonder why they didn't go with it.

01:21:00.000 According to two people familiar with the contents of the letter.

01:21:15.000 The letter is the clearest evidence yet of Bolter's mindset after the targeted violence against Minnesota politicians last week.

01:21:21.000 It is incoherent, one and a half pages long, confusing and hard to read, according to two people familiar with the letter's contents.

01:21:27.000 It includes Bolter alleging he had been trained by the U.S. military off the books and that Waltz, who was not running for Senate, had asked him to kill Klobuchar and others.

01:21:36.000 When is the Senate race?

01:21:41.000 Yeah.

01:21:42.000 Let me pull it up.

01:21:44.000 Is that going to be 2028?

01:21:45.000 Yes.

01:21:47.000 I believe 2028.

01:21:50.000 So it's weird that they said who's not running because we're three years out and he certainly could if he wanted to.

01:21:56.000 I don't know why they would say that.

01:21:58.000 And it is fascinating that he claims he was trained secretly by the military.

01:22:03.000 Here's a question.

01:22:05.000 For what reason did they decide to write this?

01:22:09.000 From the presupposition that he was incoherent and insane, instead of literally just reporting on, he wrote a letter that made these claims.

01:22:16.000 It is strange to me when news outlets inject opinions into what is supposed to be a news story and use a weird headline that doesn't really convey the subject of the story.

01:22:29.000 Well, one reason that – That they don't just give you the neutral data is because tone, there's no tone.

01:22:37.000 So like if you heard this guy on video saying and he was like, I swear, they were telling me to!

01:22:41.000 And then you know right away he's crazy because you hear his tone.

01:22:44.000 But if you just read the words that came out of his mouth in a published article, you might just believe it's not.

01:22:49.000 Here's a question for you, Ian.

01:22:51.000 If someone said that in a court, would the immediate assumption of the court be that his tone proves him crazy?

01:22:59.000 No, I don't think so.

01:23:00.000 Or they instruct you, would they say, the subject of the claims is what matters, the credibility of the witness is for you to decide.

01:23:08.000 Yeah, they would.

01:23:08.000 So this is my point.

01:23:11.000 Have there been circumstances where people have been MKUltra'd?

01:23:15.000 That's why we have the phrase MKUltra, because we know that it's happened.

01:23:19.000 Right now, I think the probability that this guy is of sound mind is very low.

01:23:23.000 Yeah.

01:23:23.000 But I don't know why, I would not call it appropriate for a news outlet, Period.

01:23:38.000 before they convey the facts, which is what the news should be doing.

01:23:41.000 They should literally just say...

01:23:44.000 Period.

01:23:45.000 Boulter, alleged assassin, accused and arrested, wrote a letter claiming Tim Waltz instructed him to assassinate.

01:23:53.000 Period.

01:23:53.000 Horrible PR for Tim Waltz, but I think, I mean...

01:23:57.000 But if it's true, it's true.

01:23:59.000 It is not the job of a news organization to inject loaded language.

01:24:04.000 Like the word rambling and conspiratorial, those are opinions, not facts.

01:24:09.000 I'm going to play, this is totally devil's advocate because I don't really care that much about it.

01:24:12.000 And put op-ed on the top of the article.

01:24:14.000 Put op-ed.

01:24:14.000 If they said like, if a crazy guy said something about you or somebody we know.

01:24:18.000 You'd have to move it off the front page.

01:24:19.000 No, it wouldn't.

01:24:20.000 It wouldn't make the news.

01:24:21.000 Hold on, hold on.

01:24:22.000 That's not true.

01:24:23.000 Because when the Daily Beast lied and claimed that I had been accused of stealing a cat, when, who had the cat, Ian?

01:24:28.000 Who had the cat?

01:24:30.000 I think I had the cat.

01:24:31.000 You had the cat.

01:24:31.000 I was taking very good care of the cat.

01:24:33.000 That's a wonderful woman.

01:24:35.000 I love her.

01:24:36.000 And they wrote, Tim Pool accused of stealing cat.

01:24:40.000 They could have written, police deny Tim Pool had cat after wild accusation.

01:24:46.000 They could have done that.

01:24:47.000 Instead, this is the game we get with the corporate press.

01:24:50.000 They will inject opinion into a story they want you to believe to be false, and they will remove all opinion on stories that are absurd and ridiculous if they can smear their political opponents.

01:25:01.000 But is it true?

01:25:02.000 That's what you're saying?

01:25:03.000 This is not an example?

01:25:05.000 They wrote a news story about you stealing a cat?

01:25:07.000 Yes.

01:25:08.000 So here's what happened.

01:25:09.000 There was somebody I worked with.

01:25:11.000 She left her cat in the care of Ian.

01:25:13.000 I texted her and said, come get your cat.

01:25:16.000 She said, no.

01:25:17.000 I said, I don't know, man.

01:25:18.000 Ian, figure it out.

01:25:20.000 I did.

01:25:21.000 She then made a video saying my cat's been stolen or whatever and called the police.

01:25:26.000 The police called me and says, do you have a cat?

01:25:28.000 And I say, no.

01:25:29.000 And they were like, well, we got a call from someone saying you have a cat.

01:25:32.000 And I was like, there's a man who works for me who has that cat in question.

01:25:35.000 I can put you in contact with him.

01:25:37.000 And he was like, look, I have no idea what's going on.

01:25:39.000 Can we arrange something?

01:25:41.000 And then we worked out.

01:25:42.000 We'll send the cat to a shelter.

01:25:43.000 They can come get it.

01:25:44.000 And then the police told the Daily Beast, Tim Pool did not have possession of the cat.

01:25:49.000 Ian Crosland was in possession of the cat.

01:25:51.000 It was delivered to a shelter where it was picked up and unharmed.

01:25:54.000 And the Daily Beast still wrote the headline, Tim Pool accused of stealing Kat.

01:25:57.000 Wait, the Daily Beast is the one that wrote that the little boy in the face paint at the Kansas City game-I think so.

01:26:04.000 That he was a white supremacist?

01:26:06.000 That wasn't the Daily Beast?

01:26:07.000 It might have been.

01:26:08.000 I don't remember.

01:26:09.000 But then Twitter, when it was still Twitter at the time... 0.97

01:26:15.000 It was just like, what the fuck is going on? 0.99

01:26:18.000 Tim pulled a cat thief. 1.00

01:26:19.000 I love that cat.

01:26:20.000 I want to keep her for myself, I'll be honest.

01:26:22.000 Not really.

01:26:22.000 I wanted to get her back to her proper place.

01:26:25.000 What a nice cat.

01:26:25.000 She was beautiful.

01:26:26.000 Yeah, she would jump on my lap. 1.00

01:26:28.000 She'd walk up and look at you or at me, and I'd be like...

01:26:33.000 We had it good.

01:26:34.000 It was all good.

01:26:35.000 She was climbing in the walls.

01:26:36.000 Yeah, Betsy and Bucko would terrorize her. 0.87

01:26:38.000 They were happier once she went back home, I know for sure.

01:26:43.000 So, hey, Daily Beast, I don't have a lot of love for them.

01:26:47.000 They do it wrong, I feel like.

01:26:48.000 If they're going to do stuff like that and misrepresent...

01:26:51.000 The Star Tribune has written an article that they are purporting to be fact, but the phrase rambling and conspiratorial are opinion statements.

01:27:00.000 Now, what they're doing is they're attributing it to the FBI.

01:27:04.000 Address to the FBI.

01:27:05.000 Okay, people with direct knowledge say it's rambling and conspiratorial.

01:27:08.000 This could mean a journalist.

01:27:10.000 People who saw it.

01:27:11.000 They play these dirty games, okay?

01:27:21.000 I'm only pissed off because I'm sick of news outlets that write opinion pieces masquerading as fact.

01:27:28.000 That way when people Google search it, they are told to come to a conclusion before they've even read any of the details.

01:27:33.000 This is how they smear the right.

01:27:35.000 This is how they smear Trump. 1.00

01:27:37.000 It's bullcrap. 0.85

01:27:38.000 For them to put those descriptors in there and act as if they basically are – it's already pre-assumed fact that those descriptors of the man and his ramblings, that those are accurate. 0.91

01:27:49.000 But they do that all the time.

01:27:51.000 And what you're talking about is like you go to somebody who kicks puppies for a living and you're like, you know, kicking puppies is wrong.

01:27:58.000 Well, he's getting paid to kick puppies.

01:27:59.000 He's not even going to hear it.

01:28:00.000 That's what these people are like.

01:28:01.000 They're paid to propagandize.

01:28:03.000 I think Klobuchar is not even up for reelection until 2030.

01:28:06.000 Right.

01:28:06.000 She just was elected again.

01:28:08.000 So that's why it's like, who's not even running for Senate?

01:28:10.000 Well, it's five years away from that election.

01:28:13.000 Do you see how they're doing this?

01:28:15.000 When they write, Tim Waltz, quote, comma, who is not running for the Senate?

01:28:19.000 That is a weasel phrase, okay?

01:28:23.000 If it were true that he wanted Klobuchar out of the picture to run in 2030, why would you include he wasn't running?

01:28:29.000 The argument would be that he's trying to run five years from now.

01:28:33.000 They are loading this so that you make—this is what they do when Trump says something.

01:28:37.000 It'll be like, you know, Trump calls Neonuts' fine people or whatever.

01:28:43.000 They will write a story which says, Trump, who called Neonuts' fine people, says that a trade deal with China will be beneficial.

01:28:50.000 And you're like, wait, why did they include that?

01:28:52.000 That's what they've been doing for years.

01:28:55.000 Yeah.

01:28:56.000 I mean, it's been like 15 years now.

01:29:00.000 Yep.

01:29:00.000 Since little kids have the opportunity to write blogs on the internet, basically.

01:29:04.000 Well, I mean, it might have come from blogging.

01:29:07.000 It's possible that the style of journalism, we'll call it, has changed so much in the 15 years.

01:29:15.000 Because there was a time where blogs were all the rage and stuff, and so that might have been the deal.

01:29:23.000 Oh, here's another thing, too.

01:29:25.000 Here's the Daily Beast story.

01:29:26.000 YouTube star Tim Pool's news site collapses amid allegations he took a cat hostage, which is like – Wow.

01:29:40.000 In fact, Terry...

01:29:46.000 It makes you picture him pointing a gun, holding the cat, clinging it to his chest kind of energy.

01:29:51.000 That's exactly what happened.

01:29:52.000 It's bizarre.

01:29:53.000 Well, that's Will Summer for you.

01:29:55.000 He just makes stuff up.

01:29:56.000 Oh, that was Will Summer.

01:29:58.000 And hold on.

01:29:58.000 And what is it?

01:29:59.000 What kind of cat is this?

01:30:00.000 Not the cat that we, not Betsy.

01:30:03.000 Not my love.

01:30:04.000 Not your love, Bet.

01:30:06.000 Will contacted me.

01:30:07.000 I didn't give him anything on this.

01:30:08.000 I didn't know what to say.

01:30:09.000 I mean, I was just getting the cat back to the owner.

01:30:11.000 That's all I cared about.

01:30:11.000 Taking good care of her.

01:30:13.000 It was so weird that they did this.

01:30:15.000 And two days after my birthday.

01:30:18.000 Unbelievable.

01:30:19.000 Unbelievable.

01:30:20.000 unacceptable.

01:30:20.000 And they conflated it with the They cannot allow.

01:30:24.000 We can no longer allow these kinds of attacks near your birthday.

01:30:27.000 There has to be some kind of civilization here.

01:30:29.000 We can't just allow everything to go down to the toilet.

01:30:32.000 So, like, if a crazy guy says, a dude told me to go, that wouldn't make the news.

01:30:36.000 But if, then it's a governor, and the guy actually tried an assassination attempt.

01:30:40.000 This guy worked for Tim Waltz.

01:30:41.000 He worked for him.

01:30:42.000 Well, so this guy was appointed by Tim Waltz to the Board of Governors or something like that.

01:30:46.000 Oh.

01:30:47.000 right that's why I'm No.

01:30:50.000 When they're loading the language to make it seem like it's impossible and it's like, but this guy was friends with Tim Walz.

01:30:55.000 I've read at least three or four articles about the guy.

01:30:57.000 I've not seen that fact.

01:30:58.000 Not yet.

01:31:00.000 There's still an active argument going on on the internet as to who this boy belongs to.

01:31:06.000 Does he belong to the right or does he belong to the left?

01:31:09.000 Here you go.

01:31:09.000 They love that.

01:31:10.000 What are Vance Luther Bolter's politics?

01:31:12.000 Alleged Minnesota assassin was appointed by Tim Walz.

01:31:15.000 Voted for Trump.

01:31:15.000 That's what they say.

01:31:16.000 How do they know he voted for Trump?

01:31:23.000 His roommate threw him right under the bus.

01:31:26.000 Right, his roommate said that.

01:31:29.000 Which I don't know why he has a roommate.

01:31:31.000 He's married and has kids.

01:31:32.000 I don't believe the roommate.

01:31:34.000 So two notices of appointment for Bolter to the governor's workforce development board were obtained by KTTC.

01:31:40.000 Although the exact motivations for his crimes are unclear.

01:31:43.000 Okay.

01:31:43.000 So he was appointed by Waltz to the Governor's Workforce Board and then claimed that Waltz told him to kill these people.

01:31:50.000 Okay.

01:31:52.000 Maybe we should look into that.

01:31:53.000 Yeah.

01:31:54.000 So his friend said that he voted for him.

01:31:57.000 He was reappointed to the board by Waltz in December of 2019 as a business member for a term that expired in 2023.

01:32:04.000 Yeah.

01:32:05.000 Oh, so he had worked for Waltz.

01:32:07.000 Maybe he has issues, anger with Waltz or something after having worked with him.

01:32:12.000 I don't believe this guy.

01:32:14.000 I mean, it's going to, like you said, extraordinary evidence if that's, you want to back that statement up.

01:32:18.000 I'm going to need to see, like, he voted for Trump.

01:32:21.000 He, in addition to his I Voted sticker, he was also wearing, like, a Trump t-shirt that he had to turn inside out when he was in the poll because he would come in.

01:32:28.000 Something serious.

01:32:29.000 Apparently he had some literature from the No Kings.

01:32:33.000 No, no, it's just white pieces of paper with No Kings written on it.

01:32:36.000 Oh, my bad.

01:32:37.000 I can show you the image.

01:32:38.000 It's just this.

01:32:40.000 Now, these are flyers.

01:32:42.000 So some people tried making the argument because they didn't show the images.

01:32:46.000 They said he had flyers for no kings.

01:32:48.000 Do you think he was going to attack them?

01:32:51.000 Then you actually look and you're like, oh, no, no, no, no, no.

01:32:54.000 Those were signs handmade likely by him for no kings, indicating that he intended to spread the message.

01:33:01.000 If it was a flyer with a date and a location, you could make the argument he was planning on targeting it.

01:33:06.000 This just looks like he agreed with him.

01:33:08.000 Yeah.

01:33:10.000 I didn't get the beginning.

01:33:11.000 I missed the top of the story.

01:33:13.000 I wasn't here when you guys discussed it before.

01:33:14.000 Did he actually assassinate someone?

01:33:16.000 Yes.

01:33:16.000 Two people.

01:33:17.000 One person still in critical condition.

01:33:20.000 He went to – he dressed as a cop, put on a latex mask, had a fake cop car with the lights, red and blue lights, knocked on the door when they opened.

01:33:26.000 He went bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

01:33:28.000 Pulled him over?

01:33:28.000 No, he pulled it to their house.

01:33:30.000 Wow.

01:33:31.000 Wearing a mask with a fake police uniform, knocked on the door.

01:33:35.000 It was a former Democrat and his wife and a former Democrat and her husband.

01:33:39.000 A current Democrat and her husband.

01:33:40.000 No, no, it was a former Democrat.

01:33:41.000 The woman was former, right? 0.81

01:33:43.000 It was a former Democrat and her husband and a current Democrat and his wife.

01:33:46.000 And he knocked on the door, they opened it, and he started blasting.

01:33:50.000 It makes me think, a friend of mine told me, if the cops come to your house and they knock and they want to talk to you, are they really cops?

01:33:57.000 You've got to find that out.

01:33:59.000 He had a mask on.

01:34:01.000 So, I mean, that was one— It was a fake person.

01:34:04.000 It was a latex mask that looked like a person.

01:34:06.000 Oh, I thought—okay, well— Yeah, so I think I have a picture.

01:34:09.000 There you go.

01:34:09.000 Look.

01:34:10.000 Here's the issue with this whole thing.

01:34:13.000 If he was a Republican, why would he shoot her, the legislator he shot and killed?

01:34:20.000 Just crossed over and voted with the Republicans in the state legislature there to stop giving medical benefits to illegal aliens.

01:34:27.000 Yes.

01:34:28.000 She crossed over.

01:34:29.000 So she crossed over and voted with the Republicans.

01:34:30.000 So why would a MAGA supporter, a Trump supporter, shoot someone who was actually implementing the Trump agenda at the state level?

01:34:38.000 He wouldn't. 0.99

01:34:39.000 The argument was that it was a Democrat being like, you're a traitor. 0.99

01:34:43.000 You've betrayed us. 0.97

01:34:44.000 Well, I believe he's a Democrat.

01:34:46.000 I don't believe he's a Republican.

01:34:47.000 The argument was that he's actually a Democrat appointed by Waltz.

01:34:50.000 Yeah.

01:34:51.000 I believe that.

01:34:52.000 And then targeted these people because they crossed the line and they were traitors to the party.

01:34:55.000 But he said they voted for Trump or that he voted for Trump.

01:34:58.000 Yeah, a guy with family and kids had a best friend roommate.

01:35:01.000 Nobody believes that.

01:35:01.000 I don't believe it.

01:35:02.000 It's possible that this guy, it's not even, well, it's probably politically motivated in some fashion, him working with Waltz and targeting political.

01:35:09.000 But it might not be like right and left.

01:35:12.000 Energy here.

01:35:12.000 It might just be like a psychopath, broken psychopath by the system, lashed out at people he knew.

01:35:18.000 Or he was told to do it by Waltz.

01:35:20.000 We're going to go to your chats, my friend, so smash the like button, share the show with literally everyone you know, even your AI chat girlfriend.

01:35:28.000 See what she has to say.

01:35:30.000 And we're going to read what you guys have to say, so let's get those rumble rants and super chats.

01:35:35.000 What do we got here?

01:35:36.000 Shane H. Wilder is always number one.

01:35:37.000 He says, Pakistan nominating Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for mediating peace with them in India was not on my 2025 bingo card.

01:35:44.000 We know he won't get it, but I never expected him to even be nominated.

01:35:48.000 He's been nominated several times, actually.

01:35:49.000 We almost led with that.

01:35:51.000 It's interesting.

01:35:52.000 And then we didn't even talk about it.

01:35:55.000 Yeah.

01:35:56.000 Arsena says, things I've learned this week.

01:35:58.000 DJT can trust everyone around him and the deep state has disappeared.

01:36:02.000 I'm anti-Semitic for questioning our involvement with Israeli affairs.

01:36:05.000 Must be my Muslim heritage.

01:36:07.000 My favorite is I tweeted—I'm very proud of myself, by the way.

01:36:10.000 I tweeted, ask not what your country can do for you, but what your country can do for Israel. 0.68

01:36:15.000 And I just thought, it's a joke.

01:36:16.000 It's a joke because of, you know, the way everyone acts about Israel. 0.94

01:36:21.000 And it's funny because I think more than anything this tweet reveals foreign actors and bots.

01:36:27.000 There are pro-Israel people.

01:36:29.000 That are responding saying, okay, I gotta admit, that's actually funny.

01:36:33.000 There are anti-Israel people putting, just saying, lol, okay, you got me.

01:36:37.000 Because it's not, it doesn't really say anything other than it makes fun of the circumstance.

01:36:41.000 But then there are people of both sides.

01:36:44.000 I'm being called a Zionist for having posted it, which is clearly a joke, which is weird.

01:36:49.000 And I'm being called an anti-Semite for posting it.

01:36:52.000 And I think those people are not Americans.

01:36:54.000 And what I think happens is, anybody who is American, Who knows history and hears that, gets it. 0.52

01:37:02.000 I'm satirizing JFK's statement about your country and you.

01:37:06.000 But imagine if you were from Pakistan and you saw what I tweeted, clicked translate, and all you saw was me saying, your country shouldn't serve you, your country should serve the benefits of Israel. 0.99

01:37:16.000 You'd be like, this guy's a Zionist. 1.00

01:37:19.000 So if it's going through a language filter, or you don't know our history, you don't get the context.

01:37:24.000 Or if you're a bot.

01:37:26.000 But I gotta be honest.

01:37:27.000 Even AI understands that's a play on JFK.

01:37:30.000 Did Candace Owens retweet you?

01:37:32.000 Yeah, and she put a bunch of laughing emojis. 0.72

01:37:34.000 Oh, okay.

01:37:35.000 And it's not, it's, it's, It's an inside joke, but it's inside a big bubble.

01:37:41.000 Yeah.

01:37:41.000 Not everybody's in that bubble.

01:37:42.000 Big, big, big, big, big bubble.

01:37:44.000 Like, if you're pro-Israel, you should laugh about it if you're anti-Israel.

01:37:46.000 Like, the joke was just, like, the circumstances of how everyone treats Israel.

01:37:49.000 Well, you followed up with a post on Twitter that said that maybe we should have, like, a nationality filter.

01:37:54.000 Oh, that was actually that before.

01:37:56.000 Oh, interesting.

01:37:56.000 That's a good idea.

01:37:57.000 So, in your opinion, the term Zionist is just, you just believe that Israel has the right to have their own country, correct?

01:38:05.000 Or are you taking Zionists further than that, where you literally believe that everything should be to their favor? 0.95

01:38:11.000 I'm not a Zionist.

01:38:13.000 They're calling me Zionists for saying, like, I don't care about Israel.

01:38:17.000 I understand what they're saying about you, but I'm saying, just generally speaking, the term Zionist, some people don't actually have the same definition.

01:38:25.000 I thought Zionist meant you believe that Israel has a right to a country, that they have a right to exist in the Middle East.

01:38:32.000 I believe that.

01:38:33.000 So that makes me a Zionist by a lot of people's ideas.

01:38:36.000 And it's more than that.

01:38:37.000 To a lot of these people, simply acknowledging the existence itself, whether you like it or not, is Zionism. 0.98

01:38:44.000 Yeah, that's bullcrap. 0.85

01:38:45.000 So I actually had someone ask me this because they called me a Zionist. 0.97

01:38:48.000 And I said, I am not a Zionist.

01:38:51.000 I literally don't care and don't think we should fund Israel. 0.98

01:38:53.000 And they said, but you act as though Israel is a country.

01:38:56.000 And I was like, it is.

01:38:58.000 And they're like, you're a Zionist. 0.74

01:38:59.000 Yeah.

01:38:59.000 Because the formation of the modern-day Israel is different than the kingdom of Israel and the Bible and the love of Israel and the Bible and the Bible of Jacob and things like that.

01:39:08.000 The argument is there are countries where they don't put Israel on their maps.

01:39:11.000 Oh, there are.

01:39:12.000 And if you're flying over the Middle East, depending on what airline you're on, it says Palestine.

01:39:16.000 Right.

01:39:16.000 And so the people from those countries, they'll be like, you actually think there's some country called Israel?

01:39:21.000 You're a Zionist. 0.95

01:39:22.000 And you're like, well, it's clearly there.

01:39:23.000 It has a parliament.

01:39:24.000 It has judges.

01:39:25.000 It has a prime minister.

01:39:26.000 It has weapons.

01:39:27.000 And embassies.

01:39:29.000 Say whatever you want, I guess.

01:39:30.000 And you know what they did?

01:39:31.000 They actually filled out all the paperwork and stuff so they could be a country, unlike the Hamas charter, where they didn't do the—there were a few prerequisite steps.

01:39:38.000 All they had to do was those last few steps, and Gaza could have been a country.

01:39:42.000 But since they never did that, Israel is going to take it back over and manage it, and yeah. 0.85

01:39:47.000 You could liken it to the CCP.

01:39:49.000 Some people don't recognize it as the legitimate government.

01:39:51.000 You actually think this is CCP?

01:39:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:39:54.000 Am I a Zionist for the Communist Party?

01:39:57.000 You're a Xomunist. 0.83

01:39:57.000 Am I a Xomunist? 0.83

01:39:59.000 Xomunist. 0.76

01:40:00.000 You just nailed it, baby.

01:40:02.000 Let's grab this from Arsonist. 0.83

01:40:03.000 He says, Arsonist says, I'm no longer a Republican.

01:40:06.000 I now identify as a PopCon.

01:40:08.000 Populist conservative.

01:40:10.000 Okay.

01:40:11.000 I'm concerned, as we were talking about all these global potential conflicts kicking off, well, World War, things like that.

01:40:18.000 If Trump were just removed from the situation, I'm always with contingencies often.

01:40:24.000 Like, what would happen with this country?

01:40:25.000 Do you know what Hillary Clinton would have done? 0.82

01:40:28.000 Bombed it into oblivion.

01:40:29.000 I mean, the timeline was pushed back because of Trump's first term.

01:40:34.000 Look at the military.

01:40:36.000 Sorry, not the military.

01:40:37.000 But look at the operations in Ukraine under Obama with USAID, with Newland.

01:40:44.000 The U.S. was very interested in the overthrow of the Yanukovych government.

01:40:50.000 Russia annexes Crimea.

01:40:53.000 Things are building up.

01:40:54.000 Trump wins.

01:40:55.000 Ukraine stops.

01:40:57.000 Why?

01:40:57.000 Because Trump was like, I don't care.

01:40:59.000 We are not involved in whatever that is.

01:41:01.000 I don't want to be involved.

01:41:02.000 I don't want to be at war.

01:41:02.000 And so it was funny because I was there at the start of the Euromaidan protests, which eventually broke.

01:41:09.000 They started calling it a civil war because the eastern separatists were shooting.

01:41:13.000 Trump gets elected.

01:41:15.000 I went back to Ukraine in 2017 and did some field report.

01:41:19.000 And the locals there said, no, no, there's no more civil war.

01:41:24.000 There's only a few separatists in the eastern region, but we don't really consider that a big deal anymore.

01:41:30.000 And then Biden gets in, and what happens?

01:41:32.000 Russia invades. 0.61

01:41:33.000 Never would have happened if Trump remained in office.

01:41:35.000 Hillary Clinton, during the debate with Trump, was asked about a no-fly zone over Syria.

01:41:41.000 She was warned by our generals.

01:41:44.000 If the U.S. were to implement a no-fly zone over Syria, it would be a declaration of war with Russia, and she said she did not care.

01:41:51.000 That she wanted it.

01:41:52.000 The reason is that Russia has a naval base in Tartus, so we basically, by issuing a no-fly zone, we are literally saying, Russia, we're going to shoot your planes down. 0.95

01:42:01.000 And Russia's going to be like, try me. 0.98

01:42:03.000 And she was like, I don't care.

01:42:06.000 So with the Syria situation, if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016, We would have—the Ukraine war would have kicked off right away, and we would have been embroiled in a massive conflict, more so in Syria than we were.

01:42:20.000 Trump slowed it all down.

01:42:21.000 There's a type of hubris that envelops these commanders sometimes when they win a lot in a row.

01:42:27.000 This happened to the Nazis after they took Poland with— Like, no resistance. 0.90

01:42:31.000 They took France. 0.96

01:42:31.000 They were all surprised how easy it was. 0.96

01:42:34.000 They were shocked. 1.00

01:42:35.000 And then they started to believe their own bullshit. 1.00

01:42:37.000 And I think Hillary Clinton also thinks indestructible American military, like this nonsense has been fed through her system. 1.00

01:42:45.000 She's like the guy, the... 0.80

01:42:49.000 And he's like the insurpassable might of money.

01:42:55.000 He's trying to convince speed racer to take the contract and he won't take it.

01:42:58.000 And he's like giving him this big long speech about the history of racing and all that stuff.

01:43:02.000 And basically none of the races were really won.

01:43:04.000 And that's what Hillary Clinton reminds me of. 1.00

01:43:06.000 She's a megalomaniac and someone crazy who never should have been as close as she was to the presidency. 1.00

01:43:10.000 She never should have been a senator. 0.99

01:43:12.000 I mean, she never should have been secretary of state.

01:43:15.000 But the big deal with that is it was that.

01:43:17.000 And then it was also when President Trump came into office, like Tim said, you have President Trump literally telling Putin to his face, if you move on Crimea, I'll bomb Moscow over ice cream, right?

01:43:28.000 And the same thing to President Xi.

01:43:30.000 If you don't stop these fentanyl from coming over the southern border, you know, I'm— There's a phone call with Trump where he's like, I told them that if he moved on Ukraine or if China moved on Taiwan, I would nuke— I don't know if they believed me, maybe a little bit, 5%, but it was enough.

01:43:48.000 Right.

01:43:49.000 But that's what we need in a commander-in-chief.

01:43:53.000 You don't want someone who's asleep or people don't think he's actually there.

01:43:57.000 You want someone who they're not sure what he's going to do.

01:43:59.000 It's the Yosemite Sam thing.

01:44:00.000 It's like Trump sits down with Putin and they're talking and he's like, here's what we want to do.

01:44:04.000 And Trump goes, yeah, that's nice.

01:44:05.000 if you invade Ukraine, I'm going to nuke Moscow. 0.95

01:44:07.000 And Putin's like...

01:44:08.000 Yeah.

01:44:09.000 Yeah, the other day you were talking about the underground tunnels that they've built in Ukraine.

01:44:15.000 I've been to Russia and I've seen the subways underneath the ground and they are gorgeous.

01:44:20.000 All kinds of tile up on the ceiling.

01:44:21.000 We would put these kinds of tiles in a cathedral.

01:44:24.000 They have them in their underground tunnels in Russia.

01:44:26.000 Deep underground.

01:44:27.000 Deep, deep underground.

01:44:28.000 We got two I'm going to read back to back.

01:44:30.000 Mythos says, about precision, Tim, we have in the past shot down a helicopter with a laser-guided bomb.

01:44:35.000 I repeat, shot down.

01:44:36.000 We are more than precise enough to hit the same spot twice.

01:44:39.000 And Drunken Gringo says, as a retired JTAC, I can 100% say we can lob multiple rounds to the exact spot within a few feet of one another.

01:44:49.000 Agreed.

01:44:50.000 My point is not that that is the limiting factor.

01:44:52.000 The limiting factor is not...

01:45:04.000 So, the point.

01:45:06.000 If they say they lob three consecutive, I think, what do we have, like between 15 or 30 or something around there?

01:45:12.000 Let's say they lob two or three in the same spot.

01:45:14.000 Boom.

01:45:15.000 Okay.

01:45:15.000 Now they've got to come back and they've got to do it in multiple locations to make sure they totally decimate the area.

01:45:21.000 All the stories I've seen say we have 20. 20. Of those.

01:45:24.000 So we're talking about basically using all of them near our entire stuff.

01:45:28.000 I mean, let's just be reasonable and say we're going to use two each.

01:45:31.000 Four times.

01:45:31.000 So eight.

01:45:32.000 So a little bit less than that.

01:45:33.000 40%.

01:45:33.000 That's a lot.

01:45:34.000 But then you're still in a situation where you can't confirm if you got the destruction you were looking for.

01:45:39.000 Until someone goes on the ground.

01:45:40.000 Well, Assad would have to go in and confirm because they got to do something.

01:45:43.000 And they could very easily lie.

01:45:45.000 I mean, if you're going to give control and power and authority of deciding the narrative of the earth right now to some secret police force in a country.

01:45:52.000 That's a lot of power to give them, to be like an arbiter of truth.

01:45:54.000 But it's not just that, because it's the use of those.

01:45:57.000 And right now, Boeing is having trouble delivering on their, like, anything.

01:46:01.000 They couldn't get the two Air Force Ones done.

01:46:03.000 They're like 15 years behind on that.

01:46:06.000 And they're having trouble delivering on pretty much everything in inventory that they're supposed to be providing.

01:46:10.000 Those GBU-57s are a Boeing product.

01:46:14.000 So replacing that inventory would be a significant expense and time delay.

01:46:20.000 Like, they're really having trouble.

01:46:21.000 And I'm a huge Boeing person because they employ so many people in St. Louis.

01:46:24.000 It's unbelievable.

01:46:25.000 We have a huge Boeing facility in St. Louis, but they're having trouble.

01:46:29.000 You're saying just replenish the armaments themselves, the bombs themselves?

01:46:32.000 The actual bombs themselves.

01:46:32.000 If you go with Tim's scenario and you use eight, or, yeah, eight, you then have 12 left.

01:46:39.000 And, you know, maybe the 20 is what they like to keep on hand.

01:46:42.000 I don't know.

01:46:42.000 I mean, we send so many munitions to Ukraine, I don't even know what our standards are anymore.

01:46:46.000 But, yeah, it would be a problem.

01:46:48.000 They're low.

01:46:49.000 Right.

01:46:50.000 They're basement low.

01:46:52.000 Yeah.

01:46:53.000 Yeah.

01:46:53.000 They're Fordo low.

01:46:55.000 Yeah.

01:46:56.000 Maybe.

01:46:57.000 St. Miles says, Hey Ian, whatever op you choose, bunker buster, nuke, boots on the ground, or revolution, the blood will be on your hands for pushing for any option to involving America in a problem by Israel and Iran. 0.91

01:47:09.000 Did you tell Neville Chamberlain that too, when he appeased Hitler and gave him the Sudetenland? 0.56

01:47:13.000 I'm not saying we should attack Iran.

01:47:14.000 I'm just pointing out the different scenarios to look at.

01:47:19.000 Neville Chamberlain should have attacked Hitler in 1938, and he didn't. 0.70

01:47:23.000 And because of that, you got what you got.

01:47:25.000 Well, I mean, France also royally screwed up.

01:47:27.000 They did.

01:47:27.000 They just sat there and waited with this ancient head of their military, chief of staff from World War I that didn't know what he was doing, floundering around, waiting until they got attacked.

01:47:35.000 Yep.

01:47:35.000 Unaware of the advancements in technology and unwilling to recognize it.

01:47:39.000 Like, he'll never penetrate our defenses, and then Hitler's like, I'll go around. 0.99

01:47:42.000 That's it.

01:47:43.000 Or, now we can go above.

01:47:45.000 That is funny.

01:47:46.000 You know, they call France cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

01:47:49.000 Because they literally surrendered right away without any real fight.

01:47:52.000 They just got occupied instantly.

01:47:54.000 They were so fast.

01:47:54.000 That's why they don't get to talk about anything.

01:47:56.000 They don't.

01:47:57.000 It's amazing, but France has one of the greatest wartime records, in fact.

01:48:03.000 So it's funny how that one defeat turns them into cheese-eating surrender monkeys, even though historically France has been brutal.

01:48:09.000 The greatest army on earth.

01:48:11.000 Well, one of.

01:48:12.000 Napoleon.

01:48:13.000 It is funny how they're like, revolution!

01:48:15.000 And then Napoleon's like, I'll be your emperor.

01:48:17.000 And they were like, okay!

01:48:19.000 Short enough.

01:48:19.000 Yeah, whatever.

01:48:21.000 So, someone in the chat is talking about, you know, we're talking about Israel and all that, and we have veterans living on the street.

01:48:28.000 I mean, I'm with you, bro.

01:48:30.000 I actually, I'm a veteran.

01:48:32.000 My father's a veteran.

01:48:32.000 My husband's a veteran.

01:48:33.000 I don't understand why we have veterans on the street. 1.00

01:48:35.000 I don't understand why we don't do the homeless remediation programs that have been proven to work in big cities that have, we've literally implemented them and they've worked.

01:48:43.000 Why don't we do that for veterans?

01:48:45.000 Why don't we start with them and then spread out?

01:48:47.000 We could really lower the amount of homeless that we have in this country right now.

01:48:51.000 Some cities do it better than others and we could actually do something with it.

01:48:54.000 Why are veterans, why are there homeless veterans?

01:49:00.000 Are many of them suffering from mental illness?

01:49:03.000 Some have PTSD, they come back and they can't Once you've been deployed to Iraq five times and you've been blown up a few times and half the people you know have been killed, you come back and your mind is still there.

01:49:19.000 You can't sleep on a bed.

01:49:20.000 You're used to sleeping on the ground.

01:49:21.000 I mean, it's just a whole life change.

01:49:24.000 And they're not prone to asking for help.

01:49:27.000 These are operators.

01:49:28.000 They're used to helping.

01:49:29.000 They're not used to asking.

01:49:30.000 And so they have to have a special kind of intervention.

01:49:33.000 And oftentimes their family can't deal with them.

01:49:35.000 They often go through a divorce when they get back.

01:49:37.000 First thing that happens is they come home.

01:49:38.000 The wife is like, I don't know who this is. 1.00

01:49:40.000 You're a monster. 0.99

01:49:40.000 And they get divorced. 0.99

01:49:41.000 Now they've got a broken family.

01:49:42.000 They're off on their own.

01:49:44.000 And they don't make a lot of money as it is.

01:49:46.000 They make very little in comparison to what a lot of us are used to out here in the private sector.

01:49:50.000 There's a lot of drivers for homelessness with veterans, but they're We can have far less. 0.99

01:50:00.000 Can't they?

01:50:02.000 I imagine probably not everybody, but isn't there a job still in the military that they could be doing that would alleviate this?

01:50:08.000 Well, they come back service disabled, so they have to get out because they're physically or mentally unable to continue to serve. 0.95

01:50:17.000 Some of them do hang around and serve and continue to, and those are the ones that they do very well.

01:50:22.000 But the best opportunity is for them to go into a civilian role, work for the federal government, and then they can continue on.

01:50:29.000 We're talking about 55,000 people.

01:50:31.000 That is nothing in this country.

01:50:33.000 340 million of us, 40 million illegals, but whatever.

01:50:35.000 We have an obligation to these people to help them.

01:50:38.000 And there are plenty of organizations in the private sector.

01:50:41.000 But the VA sucks when Democrats are in charge. 0.99

01:50:44.000 The wait time is eight months.

01:50:46.000 87,000 of our vets died waiting for an appointment under a Democrat president.

01:50:51.000 When Trump was in office, he changed that.

01:50:53.000 But, of course, Biden flipped the switch back to every slow nonsense thing when he came into office. 0.98

01:50:58.000 And people are saying the VA sucks. 0.68

01:51:00.000 I'll tell you, there is one thing that makes me consider communism.

01:51:10.000 Since a kid, I've always wondered why it is that we have multi-millionaire baseball players, basketball players, football players, musicians, and then first responders and servicemen and women get paid, like, low-class wages.

01:51:24.000 And I'm like, why are we as a society giving $500,000 contracts to a guy who plays football?

01:51:31.000 And then building them a stadium, Tim?

01:51:33.000 Yeah.

01:51:34.000 My governor just gave the stadium to the Kansas City Chiefs to keep them on our side of the Missouri-Kansas line.

01:51:39.000 That's $1,000 per Missouri family.

01:51:41.000 I've never been in that Kansas City Chiefs stadium.

01:51:44.000 I don't like football. 0.99

01:51:45.000 I don't give a crap whether they stay here or not. 0.98

01:51:47.000 But $1,000 for me. 0.98

01:51:49.000 The one thing I'll always shout Jon Stewart out for is his defense of the 9-11 first responders.

01:51:53.000 I don't understand why those people just don't get infinite money forever.

01:51:57.000 I mean, like, I'm somewhat kidding, obviously, but like, they should want for nothing.

01:52:01.000 We have it to be able to give them an endless stream of cash, of course.

01:52:04.000 And the veterans, too.

01:52:05.000 The reason why you see athletes, you might already know this, athletes and actors and musicians get all that money is because they're driving revenue.

01:52:11.000 It's capitalism, I know.

01:52:12.000 And that's why I said communism, because it's like, I get it.

01:52:15.000 If 100,000 people want to buy Ian's new hit single, Ian Rocks, and they're going to spend a couple bucks for it, he's going to make $100,000.

01:52:25.000 And when it comes to paying for firefighters or cops, nobody wants to pay taxes.

01:52:32.000 Nobody wants to make those payments.

01:52:34.000 They don't want to.

01:52:35.000 The new thing with cops is forget about funding them.

01:52:38.000 How about if we just let them live?

01:52:39.000 Every year, we top the year before on the number of police officers who are ambushed in their cars, sitting there eating, literally eating a donut while they're taking a 15-minute break before they go to the next patrol.

01:52:50.000 They're getting gunned down.

01:52:51.000 They're getting ambushed when they get called 911.

01:52:53.000 They show up.

01:52:54.000 They get shot and killed.

01:52:55.000 These things happen far more often than reported in the media.

01:52:58.000 And these are our first responders.

01:53:00.000 And every time I've ever done 911, some really cute They do patrols at our house when we're on vacation. 0.95

01:53:11.000 These guys are amazing.

01:53:12.000 They're always amazing.

01:53:13.000 And then there's all this crap against them. 0.90

01:53:15.000 And my dad was in law enforcement. 1.00

01:53:18.000 It's just the dumbest people in our society ruining something great that we have. 0.97

01:53:23.000 So I'll go on Instagram and a video popped up the other day where it was a cop giving a guy a ticket for – And he's complaining about it. 0.99

01:53:35.000 I see a bunch of videos on Instagram periodically where it's like unreasonable cops being dicks to people.

01:53:40.000 But the reality is the overwhelming majority of interactions people have with cops are administrative or helpful. 0.75

01:53:47.000 So it's like you got a ticket and you groan, but it's a rather routine stop.

01:53:51.000 Cop says, look, you were speeding, here you go, or here's your warning.

01:53:53.000 I've been pulled over a lot.

01:53:55.000 I like driving BMWs and Mustangs.

01:53:57.000 I like speed.

01:53:58.000 I grew up in Germany.

01:53:59.000 I learned how to drive in Germany.

01:54:00.000 There's no speed limit there.

01:54:01.000 Well, that can't be right.

01:54:02.000 You'd have been shot a long time ago.

01:54:03.000 Well, amazingly, I'm still sitting here unshot, completely unshot, because I know how to talk to a cop.

01:54:08.000 But here's the thing.

01:54:09.000 There were, at one point, one million police officers in this country before ACAB and Defund the Police, and there were over a billion interactions a year, and you have about 1,300 people a year getting shot, and the majority of those people are white.

01:54:22.000 So please help me understand why all cops are bad.

01:54:25.000 If they were all bad, there'd be dead people everywhere.

01:54:28.000 But people think it's true.

01:54:29.000 This is what I never understood.

01:54:30.000 There's these videos from like, they call themselves auditors or whatever.

01:54:33.000 And it's like a video where a cop pulls a guy over and the guy's just screaming at the cop.

01:54:36.000 I know my rights.

01:54:37.000 You can't do this.

01:54:39.000 And I'm like, why are you doing this?

01:54:41.000 Yeah.

01:54:43.000 It's sometimes not even a ticket.

01:54:45.000 I got pulled over once and I was speeding.

01:54:48.000 And the guy said, he's like, how's it going there, buddy?

01:54:51.000 You were speeding.

01:54:51.000 And I was like, I gotta go to the bathroom.

01:54:53.000 And he was like, alright, alright, I'll give you a warning, man.

01:54:55.000 There's an exit out here at the gas station.

01:54:57.000 I was like, thanks, appreciate it, man.

01:54:59.000 I've gotten off with a warning.

01:55:01.000 One time I was a little Mustang on active duty in the military, had my uniform on.

01:55:05.000 I'm with a little pack.

01:55:06.000 We're all going about 75 on Freedom Highway outside Eglin Air Force Base.

01:55:10.000 Shame on you.

01:55:11.000 I know.

01:55:12.000 I get pulled over and I just put my hands on the wheel and my window down.

01:55:15.000 And when he came over, I just looked up and I said, What's the problem, officer?

01:55:19.000 And he was like, you know you were speeding.

01:55:22.000 And I was like, I don't know anything.

01:55:24.000 You were exceeding the speed limit.

01:55:25.000 I said, sir, I was the last in a line of cars that all gave the appearance of going the same speed.

01:55:32.000 So was I alone?

01:55:33.000 He said, no, you're the one I pulled over.

01:55:35.000 And I was like, oh, curse is foiled again.

01:55:38.000 And he said, I'm going to give you a warning, but you need to slow down.

01:55:41.000 You need to slow down.

01:55:42.000 When you pull out of here, you slow down.

01:55:43.000 I was like, thank you, officer.

01:55:45.000 And he walked away and I was kind of giggling because I thought I got out of a ticket and I took off.

01:55:49.000 Now, I've also been given a ticket, barely speeding over the limit. 1.00

01:55:52.000 And the guy was a total jerk. 0.99

01:55:54.000 But you know what I thought to myself? 1.00

01:55:55.000 He's probably getting divorced.

01:55:57.000 He's probably got real problems at work.

01:55:58.000 He's got real problems and he's, you know, he's not nice. 0.99

01:56:01.000 But I'm not going to be an asshole to him because he's being mean to me. 0.98

01:56:04.000 I'm just going to take my ticket or my warning or whatever and go home. 0.98

01:56:07.000 The story that I've told is how I got my license suspended.

01:56:10.000 I got two tickets in which I wasn't speeding.

01:56:12.000 And so I'm pissed.

01:56:13.000 I wasn't speeding, and I got pulled over, and they gave me tickets, and now I have no choice but to go through the system, and not a single individual in the system cares about who I am or what happened.

01:56:22.000 The DA who's prosecuting me for driving on suspended licenses, I have no idea who you are, and I don't care.

01:56:27.000 And there's no way that I can say, this is a BS suspension, doesn't care.

01:56:32.000 The book says this.

01:56:33.000 That was actually the only thing I related to in the Andor series.

01:56:38.000 Where Cassian gets arrested and every step of the way they're just like, don't know, don't care.

01:56:42.000 I'm just doing my job.

01:56:43.000 That's the problem.

01:56:44.000 The problem is not all police. 1.00

01:56:47.000 The problem is I had two assholes and then the system is screwed up. 0.99

01:56:51.000 But the system doesn't change when you just say cops are bad as individuals. 0.99

01:56:56.000 That's a big problem of humans in general.

01:56:58.000 It's easy to scream about a problem.

01:57:00.000 It's easy.

01:57:01.000 And if you just do it over and over and then you start getting paid because you're a great loud screamer and you're very articulate.

01:57:05.000 That was when Andor was still good.

01:57:06.000 You gotta supply a solution.

01:57:07.000 You realize that, right? 0.52

01:57:08.000 The last season sucked.

01:57:09.000 Did you see the last season? 0.93

01:57:12.000 Yeah, that was when it was still so good. 0.96

01:57:13.000 Well, but you didn't like the one where the white Imperial was trying to rape the undocumented worker in the grain field? 0.99

01:57:18.000 Yeah, that was bullcrap. 0.99

01:57:19.000 That's what I'm saying. 0.97

01:57:20.000 It was so good in the beginning.

01:57:21.000 I did like how...

01:57:24.000 well like the the Empire stage the false flag like I don't know.

01:57:30.000 The season's been out for a little bit.

01:57:32.000 If you haven't seen it by now, are you even a fan?

01:57:35.000 Just get it over with.

01:57:36.000 Basically, the Empire intentionally foments rioting, hoping that essentially anti-Empire, leftists would call them, riots so that they can use it as justification for occupation.

01:57:50.000 Because they want the stuff that's under the ground on that planet.

01:57:53.000 Yeah, there's a mineral.

01:57:54.000 It's kyber. 0.98

01:57:54.000 And so they're like, this plant's got kyber, and the problem is... 0.98

01:58:04.000 So they said, okay, well, there's rebel factions there that oppose us.

01:58:10.000 Let's let them do their thing.

01:58:11.000 And so they spy on them.

01:58:13.000 The rebels attack a ship and steal a bunch of weapons and they go, they attacked us and stole weapons.

01:58:17.000 We have no choice but to occupy.

01:58:19.000 Then they intentionally sent police out into the crowd of rioters, knowing the rioters would attack them.

01:58:24.000 And then when they did, they started shooting and killing and...

01:58:28.000 It's just that they could have done so much more with that last season of Andor since they knew it was the last season.

01:58:33.000 Instead, we got two episodes a week and they were like basically only one episode plus a whole lot of people walking around and the wind blowing.

01:58:39.000 I needed more.

01:58:40.000 Let's grab a couple more Super Chats.

01:58:42.000 I know we missed a lot of YouTube.

01:58:43.000 Joe Spinella says, Per Rich Barris, the facility they want to use a bunker buster on won't work as it is deeper underground at 90 meters and granite at that.

01:58:52.000 The GBU 57 can go 60. Trump is surrounded by establishment psychopaths as far as nukes.

01:58:58.000 Yep.

01:59:00.000 Sovereign Fish says, 20 for Ian, finally pumping some life into this show.

01:59:03.000 It's been a yawn fest since the election.

01:59:06.000 Pray, Ian, whenever you need to get him back on the show permanently.

01:59:09.000 Pay, Ian, whatever.

01:59:11.000 I think it's the first time anyone's ever said that.

01:59:12.000 Thanks, man.

01:59:14.000 I mean, kind of.

01:59:15.000 It's sort of a dirty statement in general.

01:59:17.000 No, no, I appreciate it. 1.00

01:59:18.000 Fuck yeah, dude! 1.00

01:59:20.000 Light it up! 1.00

01:59:21.000 Well, look, hey, I gotta be honest.

01:59:22.000 I wouldn't mind being underwritten by the CIA.

01:59:25.000 And if the cost is just to be in favor of every regime change war ever, let me fill out the form.

01:59:30.000 I got your back, bro.

01:59:31.000 It could be big money.

01:59:32.000 See, Ian is actually our deep state shill.

01:59:35.000 So I can go, oh, whoa, Ian.

01:59:37.000 I mean, whoa, you can't say that.

01:59:38.000 I usually subvert the subversion.

01:59:42.000 It's a double subvert.

01:59:43.000 Yeah.

01:59:44.000 He looks like a hippie, but he's pro-war.

01:59:45.000 He just looks like a double subversion in the two-dimensional state.

01:59:48.000 He's also pro-death penalty.

01:59:50.000 So am I. Hold on.

01:59:51.000 I wasn't listening.

01:59:53.000 Oh, in some circumstances, for sure.

01:59:55.000 But that's tough.

01:59:56.000 This is why I adore councils of rulers.

02:00:00.000 I don't think there should be one in charge, because who's going to decide if that guy lives or dies?

02:00:03.000 It shouldn't be me.

02:00:04.000 No one person should have that call, in my opinion.

02:00:07.000 That's why we have courts and juries. 0.97

02:00:09.000 All right.

02:00:09.000 Let's grab this.

02:00:11.000 Sisyphus says, long before the Patriot Act, Thomas Jefferson deployed Marines to the Barbary Coast without congressional approval.

02:00:17.000 Yep.

02:00:17.000 And they wrote a song about it.

02:00:20.000 Yep.

02:00:20.000 They wrote...

02:00:24.000 Yeah, the Marine hymn.

02:00:25.000 From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.

02:00:28.000 Dude, that story is so amazing.

02:00:32.000 Barbary pirates kept sinking U.S. trade vessels and he was like, please stop doing this.

02:00:37.000 And they were like, no.

02:00:37.000 And then he was like, I will raise your ships and your cities.

02:00:40.000 And then formed the Marines and went and just...

02:00:44.000 Jefferson?

02:00:45.000 Yeah.

02:00:46.000 That's the authoritarian I like.

02:00:48.000 It's not authoritarian.

02:00:49.000 It's defensive.

02:00:49.000 That's what I'm talking about.

02:00:50.000 He begged him, stop.

02:00:52.000 He did.

02:00:52.000 He said, please.

02:00:53.000 And there was something about where they said, because you're infidels, we can do whatever we want.

02:00:56.000 Oh, wow.

02:00:57.000 He was like, infidels? 1.00

02:00:59.000 Then I will raise an army against you. 0.94

02:01:01.000 I'll show you infidelity. 0.57

02:01:02.000 He was like, I'm nice until I'm not nice.

02:01:06.000 So that's how we Americans are.

02:01:08.000 We're nice until we're not.

02:01:09.000 And you can love something that you destroy.

02:01:10.000 You don't have to hate in order to destroy your enemy.

02:01:13.000 You don't have to hate them.

02:01:14.000 What?

02:01:15.000 You can love and still kill if you're a marine or a warrior.

02:01:19.000 You don't have to hate the thing you're destroying to make it right.

02:01:22.000 SA Federale says, thoroughly loving the humor and real talk on this episode.

02:01:26.000 Please do this again with the same panel.

02:01:28.000 I had fun.

02:01:29.000 You're here.

02:01:29.000 Me too.

02:01:30.000 Very fun.

02:01:31.000 I just lucked into meeting Tim Pool, you guys.

02:01:33.000 And then I immediately texted my son and was like, you will never guess who I just met.

02:01:37.000 He was like, Mom, you text me that like once every six weeks.

02:01:40.000 Where are you?

02:01:41.000 And I was like, I'm at the White House.

02:01:42.000 He starts sending these names.

02:01:43.000 And I'm like, no, Tim Pool.

02:01:45.000 And he sent back the eyeball emojis.

02:01:48.000 I was like, right.

02:01:49.000 I actually met him.

02:01:51.000 Stacey was actually standing next to the seat when I was yelling at the press.

02:01:54.000 At that.

02:01:55.000 At that media day?

02:01:56.000 Yeah.

02:01:56.000 Yeah, that was great.

02:01:57.000 They hated him so well, it was great.

02:01:59.000 Perfect.

02:02:00.000 Yeah.

02:02:01.000 It was fun.

02:02:01.000 It was good.

02:02:01.000 They still do.

02:02:02.000 The Daily Show did a segment about it like two weeks ago.

02:02:04.000 We've got to get Jordan Klepper up in the house.

02:02:06.000 He's agreed.

02:02:07.000 Oh, good.

02:02:07.000 Okay.

02:02:08.000 So we reached out to Klepper's people and they're interested in doing a show with us.

02:02:11.000 Cool.

02:02:11.000 And so I'm down.

02:02:13.000 Yeah.

02:02:13.000 That's going to be cool.

02:02:14.000 All right, everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know, and grab the knob and turn it all the way up till you rip it off.

02:02:38.000 You know what?

02:02:48.000 It's a compound, guys.

02:02:50.000 We have chickens.

02:02:51.000 I didn't see the chickens, but I'll trust you because it's dark now.

02:03:08.000 Just educate yourself.

02:03:09.000 You want to understand, whether you think of it as an enemy or a friend, you just understand what you're up against, which is that.
