Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - US Fighter Jet SHOT DOWN, One Pilot MISSING w- Scott Presler | Timcast IRL

00:01:03.000 A U.S. fighter jet is confirmed having been shot down over Iran.

00:01:08.000 Now, there were two crew members.

00:01:09.000 One has been rescued.

00:01:11.000 And as of the recording of this show, we still don't know the fate of this other crew member believed to be alive and in Iran.

00:01:17.000 Now, the Iranian government is offering a massive bounty.

00:01:20.000 Some reports I saw say it's around $60,000 U.S. equivalent dollars if the Iranians capture this American pilot or crew member.

00:01:30.000 This could get really bad.

00:01:33.000 I would make the argument that if the Iranian government knew it was good for them, they'd stay away from this.

00:01:38.000 Individual, as Trump will lay down hellfire if something happens to this crew member.

00:01:46.000 But either way, we've got videos of rescue vehicles, planes, helicopters refueling, and the search is on.

00:01:52.000 It is intense.

00:01:53.000 We're going to go over all of this.

00:01:54.000 And then we've got a bunch of other news that's very, very interesting.

00:01:57.000 We've got eight people in California arrested for fraud.

00:01:59.000 Massive.

00:02:00.000 JD Vance is saying, yeah, Ilhan Omar did commit immigration fraud, indicating that moves may be coming to lock her up, denaturalize, and deport.

00:02:11.000 So, we'll talk about all of that, my friends.

00:02:52.000 Hey, thanks for having me back.

00:02:54.000 And for anyone that doesn't know me, I am the founder of earlyvoteaction.com.

00:03:00.000 And my goal is to elect Republicans up and down the ballot and try to save what's going to happen this November in 2026.

00:03:08.000 We've got polling data showing that Republican affiliation is at a massive, massive low.

00:03:14.000 And that is very worrying.

00:03:15.000 I'm seeing all of these polls where people are like, MAGA is perfect.

00:03:19.000 They all support Trump and they're ignoring the loss of moderates, which Trump will need and Republicans will need.

00:03:24.000 So it's great to have you here.

00:03:25.000 This is a big problem.

00:03:26.000 So thanks for hanging out.

00:03:26.000 Important to talk about it.

00:03:27.000 Ian, of course, is hanging out.

00:03:29.000 I'm so glad Scott's here.

00:03:30.000 As one does.

00:03:30.000 Good to be here, man.

00:03:31.000 Yeah, good to be here, Tim.

00:03:32.000 Thanks, right?

00:03:32.000 We got Carter pressing the buttons.

00:03:34.000 What's up?

00:03:35.000 And of course, Phil rocking out.

00:03:37.000 Let's go.

00:03:37.000 What's going on?

00:03:38.000 Let's jump this big story here from Axios.

00:03:41.000 U.S. fighter jet shot down in Iran.

00:03:43.000 One crew member rescued.

00:03:45.000 Search for other ongoing.

00:03:47.000 That story in and of itself is very straightforward.

00:03:49.000 That's the latest update we've got.

00:03:51.000 We got tons of these videos.

00:03:51.000 But we've got videos.

00:03:53.000 Take a look at this.

00:03:58.000 US helicopters flying over Iran.

00:04:01.000 Now, I actually got to point to the note that despite this story being pretty terrifying and brutal, actually fairly optimistic.

00:04:09.000 You know why?

00:04:10.000 The one thing I don't see anybody pointing out we have air superiority.

00:04:14.000 We have such air superiority over Iran right now. 0.90

00:04:17.000 We just got a bunch of vehicles floating around chilling on a rescue mission without worry of being shot down.

00:04:22.000 And the worst attack I've seen thus far is a dude hiding behind a pillar with a bolt action rifle shooting at a helicopter, which is going to do nothing.

00:04:30.000 I mean, like, he's got a one in a lottery tickets chance shot of hitting that American pilot in the helicopter.

00:04:35.000 It's not a particularly good weapon for taking down helicopters.

00:04:40.000 If he was holding like a 50 BMG, like anti material rifle, I'd be like, well, that one is for hunting helicopters, but you've got to be pretty good.

00:04:47.000 It looks like while the story may be very worrying for this crewman, it also shows the U.S. basically owns the airspace now.

00:04:55.000 They've destroyed their anti air capabilities.

00:04:57.000 I mean, look, the U.S. has run something like 20,000 sorties or whatever over Iran since the war started.

00:05:05.000 Some ridiculously high number.

00:05:06.000 If they actually did shoot down an F 15, I don't know if it's actually confirmed that Iran actually shot him down or there was a mechanical issue or whatever.

00:05:14.000 But if they did, it still shows how totally dominant the United States military has been in this campaign.

00:05:20.000 You know, like to be able to go into a country and basically have the ability to fly, like Tim's saying, helicopters, which are, you know, the biggest concern for all U.S. operations in Iran has always been that they've got tremendous anti air capabilities.

00:05:38.000 Yeah.

00:05:38.000 So, you could not just fly over.

00:05:40.000 I mean, the U.S. relies on air superiority for taking out, you know, like enemy targets, bases, sites, drone strikes, and all this stuff.

00:05:47.000 But Iran had been very, like, let me phrase it like this. 0.95

00:05:51.000 There's a viral post going around where it discusses one thing we've learned since the start of this war is that Iran has been dumping decades worth of its economic resources just into war.

00:06:02.000 The people of the country are protesting for an obvious reason.

00:06:05.000 Their standard of living is low.

00:06:06.000 And then you find out it's because almost all the money they get, they just build weapons.

00:06:10.000 So now, In a couple of weeks, as much as I'm not a fan of Trump's statements, like, no disrespect to the president.

00:06:16.000 I hope he wins.

00:06:17.000 I don't want to be a doom pillar or anything like that, a black pillar. 0.97

00:06:22.000 But I got to hand it to him when he says, like, we flatten their Air Force, their Navy.

00:06:27.000 It's crushed.

00:06:27.000 It is.

00:06:28.000 And this, I wonder if, like, is anyone going to point this out in the administration just to be like, guys, it's bad that a jet got shot down?

00:06:38.000 That does show they have some anti aircraft capabilities, but we were able to fly a bunch of rescue vehicles over without issue.

00:06:44.000 I think you'd.

00:06:45.000 Don't want to alert or terrify the Iranian civilian raid.

00:06:50.000 That's the only downside of this, is now they see American helicopters flying over their city.

00:06:55.000 And it's like, you know, middle of Ohio, all of a sudden you see an Iranian helicopter, you're like, oh, we really are surrounded. 0.82

00:07:01.000 Like that feeling kind of want to avoid that.

00:07:04.000 But I mean, it does establish absolute and total military dominance on its face.

00:07:09.000 I mean, to be able to, like we were saying, to be able to fly helicopters, you know, they had extensive anti air assets in Iran and the U.S. eliminated them.

00:07:19.000 In, like, basically, almost entirely.

00:07:22.000 Like I said, I don't know what shot down the F 15, but if it was actually shot down by a missile, obviously it's not totally rooted out.

00:07:32.000 But at the same time, with the number of sorties that the U.S. has flown over Iran, something on the order of 20,000.

00:07:38.000 Yeah, they cooked.

00:07:39.000 Kellen.

00:07:41.000 It's totaled on.

00:07:42.000 We got this video.

00:07:43.000 This is reportedly a surface to air missile.

00:07:46.000 Look at that.

00:07:48.000 And I guess it failed?

00:07:49.000 Yes.

00:07:50.000 And four.

00:07:51.000 Did they just fire a missile at their own people?

00:07:53.000 I mean, look at the launch point.

00:07:55.000 This is reportedly in Tehran.

00:07:56.000 You can see where it launched from, and then it just landed a couple miles away or a mile or so away.

00:08:03.000 I wonder if they're getting knocked down by telemetry scramblers from space, like satellites that are just knocked down.

00:08:09.000 Low orbit ion cannons?

00:08:11.000 Stuff that's just disrupting their guidance systems.

00:08:11.000 Yeah.

00:08:14.000 I've heard that they have been disrupting their guidance systems.

00:08:17.000 This sounds slowed down.

00:08:18.000 Yeah.

00:08:21.000 It's definitely slowed down.

00:08:23.000 Yeah, give it to me at times two.

00:08:25.000 Let's try and find the speed.

00:08:29.000 It's similar to the disc ha ha, like the dawn from machine.

00:08:32.000 Okay.

00:08:36.000 No, that's weird.

00:08:38.000 That's bizarre.

00:08:39.000 I think he's hiding his voice.

00:08:40.000 I think he's distorting his voice.

00:08:41.000 Yeah, maybe. 0.76

00:08:42.000 Because the IRGC would have him slaughtered if they.

00:08:44.000 Hey, they're trying.

00:08:45.000 I don't think the story is necessarily just the air dominance and superiority.

00:08:51.000 It's the simple fact that this is a different administration.

00:08:56.000 So, President Obama, President Joe Biden, they.

00:09:00.000 Wanted to fund and use our money to give Iran the ability to fund these wars and missiles, et cetera, versus we have the very administration that was able to capture Maduro and, in one fell swoop, eliminate Ayatollah Khomeini.

00:09:16.000 And so, like you said, if I were an enemy of the United States or if I were going to even dare try to take down a fighter pilot, I would be shaken in my boots knowing that President Trump is not messing around, that he will actually act and not reward you.

00:09:31.000 For your actions.

00:09:32.000 Yeah.

00:09:33.000 I hope they.

00:09:34.000 I remember that phone call that leaked where Trump was like, I told Putin, if you invade Ukraine, I'll nuke Moscow.

00:09:42.000 And I told Xi, if you take Taiwan, I'll nuke Beijing.

00:09:44.000 And he's like, I don't know if they believed me, maybe 5%.

00:09:47.000 And that 5% is enough.

00:09:48.000 There's a reason why they.

00:09:50.000 You know what I love about Trump? 0.99

00:09:51.000 He is both derisively and endearingly called the madman. 0.99

00:09:56.000 Yeah.

00:09:57.000 This is something I was going to ask you, Scott.

00:09:59.000 I think a lot of the problems with the Republican Party right now are people are disillusioned with Trump because of the way they handled the Epstein files and now a sneak attack on Iran, essentially.

00:10:08.000 I think Iran was the main hit. 0.90

00:10:10.000 No, new wars.

00:10:11.000 I think Epstein was particularly effective among politically aligned individuals, but I think Iran was the biggest hit.

00:10:17.000 Yeah.

00:10:18.000 And so, like you're saying, it is, I mean, essentially, it's a great show of military force, but even when he stated his military goals, he didn't have.

00:10:26.000 NX's strategy.

00:10:27.000 He just said, we're going to blow up their stuff and then we're going to blow up their energy grid and then.

00:10:32.000 Marco Rubio's like, well, we want regime change.

00:10:34.000 I mean, think they're insinuating regime, but I mean, where are you?

00:10:36.000 Are you disillusioned with Trump?

00:10:38.000 I mean, I know you're a powerful activist for the Republican Party, but that doesn't mean like Trump sycophancy or anything like that.

00:10:44.000 But where's your head at?

00:10:46.000 Well, ultimately, my goal is to make sure the president is successful and it has four years to do his job.

00:10:53.000 I think what I'm hearing on the ground is I do believe it's important to be consistent.

00:10:58.000 And so when the president campaigns in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and says new wars, I think if he's going to do a strike and eliminate Ayatollah Khomeini, he needs to be clear on his communication and why we're doing that.

00:11:13.000 And so I was thinking about it on the way over here today.

00:11:16.000 And I was thinking to myself, President Obama, you could try to say his goal was diplomacy and that he wanted to stop war or create peace with Iran by funding them, which we know there was going to be no diplomacy under the rule of Khomeini. 0.91

00:11:36.000 And so then you have this administration when maybe their goal is okay, no diplomacy.

00:11:41.000 Let's try to create new change and see if that works.

00:11:44.000 And so I think ultimately, I would like to hear from the president and the administration if the goal, for example, is to take Greenland so we can stop Russian waterway attacks from submarines through the Atlantic.

00:12:00.000 And then if the goal ultimately is to have change with Iran so then we control the Strait of Hormuz so then we're not funding.

00:12:10.000 Our allies are not getting oil from our enemies, but instead they're getting oil from us.

00:12:15.000 I think that's what the American people would like to understand.

00:12:19.000 Does this have to do with making sure we're not funding the very terrorism that is going to be used against us?

00:12:25.000 And if we just had clear communication on that, the American people would be much more, I think, open to the idea of attacks with Iran.

00:12:34.000 Does that make sense?

00:12:35.000 The question I have is it's an honest question, and I think some people may feel that it's a very obvious answer.

00:12:41.000 This is not meant to make a definitive statement on a moral point.

00:12:44.000 I'm just asking, why is it?

00:12:47.000 Honest question.

00:12:48.000 There is such tremendous anti war and intervention sentiment in the United States.

00:12:53.000 Now, to clarify why I'm asking this, there are tremendous benefits to the United States when we seize other countries' oil assets or force them onto the petrodollar system.

00:13:03.000 I am not suggesting the war is good or that I'm saying it's moral.

00:13:05.000 I'm genuinely asking all of you out there what your thoughts are on what are your deepest concerns, what is really motivating people to be opposed to this.

00:13:13.000 I have my answers.

00:13:14.000 I've given it 800 million times, but I'm curious what you think.

00:13:17.000 A hundred percent.

00:13:18.000 I mean, I think I can speak for the majority of people that.

00:13:21.000 Probably used to be George Bush fans, and then they weren't because, like you said, there was no exit strategy to Operation Iraqi Freedom.

00:13:32.000 There was none.

00:13:33.000 It got us into a 20 year trillion dollar deficit of our country, and the American people don't want a repeat of that.

00:13:42.000 It's those old wounds that we don't want to reopen.

00:13:47.000 And when President Trump was at the forefront of railing against it, Yeah, very people that voted for him don't want to see him fall to the same mistake that George Bush did.

00:13:58.000 I think that's ultimately what it stands for.

00:13:59.000 Yeah, there's like, it's like a tepidness from Trump's administration about acknowledging the military dominance they're aiming at.

00:14:05.000 Like, they don't want to just come out and say, we want to conquer the Middle East.

00:14:08.000 We want to conquer the North so that we can prevent, we can have military hegemony. 0.99

00:14:12.000 Like, that'd be much more convincing, to be honest.

00:14:15.000 Yeah.

00:14:16.000 If Trump came out and just said, like, we're going to afford all the oil, Iran's going to bend the knee, or we'll blow them up, I'd be like, wow.

00:14:22.000 But, well, I get it now.

00:14:24.000 And I think that's what really they're trying to go for.

00:14:27.000 But, like you said, we want the clear.

00:14:29.000 It's hard.

00:14:30.000 Do you tell the opposition where the football is going?

00:14:34.000 Do you tell them what your plan is while the American people have to wait to learn that plan?

00:14:42.000 The issue that I see is we are a good people, the American people.

00:14:48.000 We do not want to hurt anybody, we don't want collateral damage.

00:14:50.000 And that makes us very susceptible to propaganda in any direction.

00:14:54.000 The issue is that Trump is unwilling to use these tactics.

00:14:57.000 We heard the story about the Tomahawk missile hitting the school, killing a bunch of schoolgirls.

00:15:01.000 But these are reports coming from Iran largely, and then reports trickle out into various anti war and anti establishment forces so ready to just believe that the U.S. killed a bunch of little girls.

00:15:11.000 Maybe.

00:15:12.000 I've certainly reported on Obama killing a 16 year old American citizen.

00:15:15.000 That was admitted to.

00:15:16.000 The accusations against Trump that a commando raid he ordered in his first term killed an American girl.

00:15:21.000 That was accused.

00:15:22.000 We don't have the evidence or the investigation, but I'd want to see one.

00:15:25.000 Our concerns are that.

00:15:27.000 We don't want to hurt innocent people.

00:15:29.000 We want to stop the bad guys.

00:15:30.000 But this means that the bad guys can just come out and be like, oh no, there's a pink backpack in the rubble.

00:15:34.000 That means you killed children.

00:15:35.000 And Americans immediately recoil in horror just believing the bad guys.

00:15:40.000 Again, I'm not saying the story is fake.

00:15:42.000 I'm saying we are incredibly susceptible.

00:15:44.000 And at the same time, you can fall victim to the exact same thing, such as with the Gulf of Tonkin incident, where the U.S. fabricated an attack on one of our warships so that we could justify entering the Vietnam War.

00:15:54.000 There's a line in a lot of movies where it's like heroic.

00:15:59.000 You're like, yeah, yeah, good.

00:16:00.000 We're done. 1.00

00:16:01.000 Terrorists will take civilians hostage and be like, do what we say, we're going to kill them all. 1.00

00:16:05.000 You're like, what other choice do we have than blowing all of you up at this point? 1.00

00:16:08.000 We don't negotiate.

00:16:09.000 That's the right thing to do.

00:16:10.000 I think so.

00:16:10.000 And it's the horrific truth of war.

00:16:12.000 You know, if someone uses humans as shields, they're all going down.

00:16:15.000 And this is the macro of the micro that I've discussed on this show quite a bit.

00:16:18.000 And that is one of my favorite stories in my experience with conflict reporting was that the trainers in our hostile environment course, which you had to get for insurance purposes, stated that Americans largely are fine in the Middle East if you get kidnapped.

00:16:32.000 Once they find out you're an American, they'll usually kick you off and dump you somewhere.

00:16:36.000 Because the American response to a kidnapping is special forces guys in the middle of the night jumping out of a helicopter with night vision goggles and massacring all of the bad guys.

00:16:45.000 Whereas Germany and Spain are notorious for paying any amount of money.

00:16:49.000 So if you are a German in the Middle East working as a journalist, they're happy to see you there.

00:16:54.000 Now, as to your point, Ian, I think with Iran, we're looking at the macro level of that, which is Iran has been bombing civilians.

00:17:00.000 Iran has been the best example of this is the Houthi rebels were armed by Iran and they started launching rockets at civilian cargo ships. 0.98

00:17:09.000 That is the, we are going to take your civilians hostage and kill them. 1.00

00:17:14.000 And the U.S. response is, you're getting the boot. 1.00

00:17:17.000 We're putting the boot down.

00:17:18.000 So I do recognize this.

00:17:20.000 I would say largely, I believe, who was it?

00:17:23.000 Someone mentioned Bill Burr, had a joke where he said, you know, you might say, I don't know if it's the right move to go into Iran and start a war, but no reason.

00:17:32.000 Really?

00:17:33.000 No reason, right?

00:17:34.000 No, really?

00:17:35.000 Of course there's a reason. 1.00

00:17:36.000 These people are apocalyptic psychopaths. 0.98

00:17:39.000 They've been arming themselves to the teeth for decades instead of taking care of their people, seeking to disrupt international trade, and they've been arming militia groups who kill civilians. 0.98

00:17:48.000 And specifically, not just in Iraq, but with the Houthi rebels, you get a cargo ship from like the Philippines trying to sell fish and they blow it up. 0.81

00:17:56.000 Hypothetic, there are ships they've blown up. 0.51

00:17:58.000 Why would we? 0.97

00:17:59.000 There's a certain point at which we say we don't tolerate that.

00:18:02.000 Well, but what is our definition of war?

00:18:06.000 You know, just like you were making the analogy of whatever your Perception is so, for example, let's take China for a second.

00:18:14.000 Certainly, we don't have boots on the ground, certainly, we aren't necessarily launching missiles at each other.

00:18:21.000 We do have at least two boots still on the ground right now.

00:18:24.000 Yeah, China, no, in Iran.

00:18:26.000 You're talking about China, I'm talking about China as an example.

00:18:29.000 So, basically, what I'm saying is, no, no, continue, continue.

00:18:34.000 What I'm saying is, our definition of war doesn't really matter because China is. 1.00

00:18:43.000 Is having illegal births in our country because of birthright citizenship.

00:18:48.000 Those illegal aliens are now American. 0.98

00:18:51.000 They send them back to China with full voting rights to vote in our elections. 0.99

00:18:56.000 Meanwhile, the Chinese government is allowing for the creation of fentanyl, which is killing us.

00:19:03.000 And they also have Confucius Institutes and they are also using TikTok as a propaganda machine against our kids.

00:19:08.000 So, not anymore.

00:19:11.000 I'm blocked on TikTok.

00:19:13.000 TikTok does not allow me to grow.

00:19:15.000 They just shifted control.

00:19:16.000 So all this is now getting sorted out.

00:19:18.000 I've actually talked to some people at TikTok.

00:19:20.000 Well, then I welcome that.

00:19:22.000 But the fact of the matter is, I would argue we are at war with China. 0.71

00:19:26.000 And just because there isn't military involvement doesn't mean war isn't there.

00:19:31.000 And my ultimate point is Iran, how do you coexist with people that want you dead?

00:19:37.000 And whether we address it now or whether we address it 150 years from now, it is going to be inevitable.

00:19:44.000 That we come to the term with these people want us dead under the current leadership and administration.

00:19:50.000 You saw the letter from their president?

00:19:52.000 No.

00:19:52.000 He released a letter the other day before Trump gave his speech and he said, We have never, never wanted hostilities with the American people.

00:19:58.000 Yeah, you're chanting death to America in your parliament.

00:20:01.000 Are you kidding?

00:20:02.000 Yeah, it's insane.

00:20:02.000 Baloney.

00:20:04.000 Listen, listen.

00:20:06.000 I have tremendous respect for those who make functional arguments as to why we should not be involved in these incursions, these interventions.

00:20:12.000 And it's because of the risk, the dice roll.

00:20:14.000 We don't know if we can succeed.

00:20:15.000 It is a tremendous undertaking.

00:20:17.000 It's very expensive.

00:20:18.000 It's going to result in civilian death.

00:20:19.000 Do we really want it? 0.98

00:20:20.000 The question is you're at a bar and a guy is being a dick and he's splashing a beer in people's face and you're minding your own business. 0.96

00:20:28.000 People start complaining. 0.98

00:20:30.000 And then eventually someone comes to you and says, Bro, we need your help.

00:20:32.000 Are you going to keep letting him?

00:20:33.000 You're the biggest guy in the bar.

00:20:34.000 Can you do something about this?

00:20:35.000 And you're like, Look, it's not worth getting into a fight.

00:20:37.000 It's going to get bad.

00:20:38.000 The dude walks up to you and starts shoving you and shoving you.

00:20:41.000 There's an argument here.

00:20:42.000 Back off, leave the bar. 1.00

00:20:44.000 Bar, everybody leaves, no one's happy, let the guy do what he wants.

00:20:48.000 But at a certain point, that guy puts his hand on a lady.

00:20:50.000 You're not, you're saying, all right, dude, you've had enough, okay?

00:20:54.000 We're throwing you out, we're taking action against you.

00:20:56.000 Now, the question I have for Iran is I do not believe there is any functional argument.

00:21:01.000 I'm talking about the efficiency of war, I am talking about the cost of war.

00:21:05.000 I do not believe there is any functional argument that Iran is innocent. 1.00

00:21:09.000 Their government has been heavily militarized.

00:21:12.000 They have been attacking civilians.

00:21:14.000 We've already gone through that.

00:21:15.000 The question is when is it too much for us to bear?

00:21:18.000 They're on the other side of the planet.

00:21:20.000 The issue for the United States, of course, is 20% of global oil trade, for which we are promising you use the petrodollar, we'll police the seas.

00:21:27.000 And Iran is basically leveraging the threats of violence against civilians. 0.83

00:21:32.000 It's a hostage situation.

00:21:33.000 And Obama was like, okay, okay, we'll give you a bunch of money.

00:21:36.000 And then Iran's like, okay, and then we'll use that money unfrozen to start building more weapons. 0.63

00:21:41.000 So I will say this.

00:21:43.000 I like the masculinity of Trump being like, then you're getting the boot.

00:21:46.000 Like, we've had enough of this.

00:21:48.000 And I think the, I don't think there is a moral argument.

00:21:52.000 I think there is a light moral argument of we may see collateral damage and civilian deaths that exceeds what is necessary and what is acceptable.

00:22:01.000 But morality, in terms of the actions of their government, they have already stepped over the line, justifying someone to stop them.

00:22:07.000 The morality argument is if you took someone's food away and then they started stealing food to survive, and you're like, hey, look, it's a thief.

00:22:14.000 Everyone, destroy the thief.

00:22:16.000 Like, well, you took his food away.

00:22:17.000 And it's the same thing with the Iranian oil supply in the 1990s.

00:22:20.000 But this is completely incorrect.

00:22:22.000 British oil companies and stuff.

00:22:23.000 The Iranians did not need to expend all of their resources over the past 50 years on weapons and missile sites.

00:22:28.000 They could have been making food in factories.

00:22:31.000 And Rubio made a great point.

00:22:32.000 He said, if you want nuclear energy, import the fuel like everybody else and build your sites above ground for everybody to see what you're doing.

00:22:38.000 They're going deep underground and they're enriching uranium themselves.

00:22:42.000 There's only one reason to do that to create military bunkers for this, not for energy.

00:22:47.000 Look.

00:22:47.000 They put out a letter saying, We have never wanted hostilities with America.

00:22:50.000 We have videos of them chanting death to America.

00:22:55.000 There are many Iranians who have fled the country and have attested to this.

00:22:58.000 I am not suggesting.

00:22:59.000 That's very Islamic. 0.99

00:23:00.000 We don't want to harm you, but you've backed us into a corner.

00:23:03.000 We haven't done much to harm you.

00:23:05.000 They said, We never wanted to harm you, but we will.

00:23:07.000 That's the Islamic tradition.

00:23:09.000 Despite the fact they've been chanting death to America.

00:23:11.000 The point is, we do put sanctions on them.

00:23:13.000 But, bro, sanctions are the acceptable, above board, by any stretch of the imagination, military action that a country should take.

00:23:20.000 That is, Ian, if you're smacking people around, the first thing I'm going to do is be like, bro, if you keep doing this, I'm not going to trade with you anymore.

00:23:28.000 That's how remarkable is it that there are anti intervention people that are angry that we sanctioned Iran and they're using that as justification.

00:23:36.000 Well, of course, Iran lashed out.

00:23:38.000 It's like, yeah, they're fundamentalists that have been blowing people up and bombing embassies and fueling militia groups.

00:23:38.000 We sanctioned them.

00:23:45.000 So we just said, okay, everybody, back off.

00:23:47.000 Don't give them stuff because they're going to blow you up with it.

00:23:50.000 And then people got mad about that.

00:23:52.000 And they said, well, you're sanctioning them.

00:23:54.000 What do you think they're going to do?

00:23:55.000 The idea that the only solution to sanctions.

00:23:59.000 To attack the United States is a terrible argument.

00:24:03.000 Like, you can actually try to do business with the United States.

00:24:07.000 The U.S., if Iran complied with some of the things that the United States was asking for, they would lift sanctions.

00:24:14.000 Look at the option or the argument that, well, of course they're going to attack.

00:24:18.000 It's like, why are they going to attack the United States?

00:24:20.000 The United States is the most powerful military in the world.

00:24:23.000 Look at what Obama did.

00:24:24.000 He said, unfreeze the assets, let them have the money.

00:24:27.000 What did they do with it?

00:24:28.000 Weapons.

00:24:29.000 Yeah, that's what bombs.

00:24:30.000 Neville Chamberlain did with the Nazis. 0.57

00:24:32.000 Appeasement, they called it.

00:24:33.000 He tried to appease them.

00:24:35.000 Neville Chamberlain gave Hitler the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia.

00:24:38.000 But Hitler just built up the army. 0.88

00:24:40.000 And then, of course.

00:24:40.000 Let's bring this back home.

00:24:41.000 Let's bring this back home.

00:24:42.000 We've got this story from a couple days ago.

00:24:44.000 JD Vance.

00:24:46.000 Ilhan Omar, quote, definitely committed immigration fraud.

00:24:50.000 This is from a few days ago.

00:24:51.000 It was on the Benny Show, and it's massive.

00:24:53.000 He says, Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.

00:24:56.000 She has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters at the center of the Somali community. 1.00

00:25:00.000 Now, the reason why I use this story, even though it's from a few days ago, is because birthright citizenship is a massive story right now.

00:25:05.000 Yes.

00:25:06.000 Considering it's looking as though it's a surprise.

00:25:08.000 The Supreme Court will be derelict in their duties and allow this country to falter.

00:25:13.000 We have knowingly a sitting member of Congress that our vice president has said, yes, she committed immigration fraud against the United States.

00:25:23.000 For the love of all that is holy, the vice president just said a sitting member of Congress is defrauding us and is not a legal representative in Congress.

00:25:34.000 What, if anything, is to be done about that?

00:25:36.000 Hopefully, the new AG will do something about it.

00:25:39.000 I just don't believe it.

00:25:40.000 But there's got to be, if she's.

00:25:41.000 Wait, what did JD Vance say exactly?

00:25:44.000 Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States.

00:25:49.000 Subject to the INA, she can be denaturalized and deported.

00:25:52.000 Wow.

00:25:53.000 That's the vice president stating as fact a sitting member of Congress is fraudulently here and ineligible to hold a seat in Congress.

00:26:05.000 And this comes after just two weeks ago.

00:26:09.000 The House of Representatives voted on a piece of legislation that you could deport criminal illegal aliens that had defrauded our government, you know, like in Minnesota.

00:26:20.000 And I think it was something like 165 or 186, one of those numbers.

00:26:25.000 The Democrats voted against the deportation of people that committed fraud.

00:26:30.000 So this definitely tracks.

00:26:32.000 Well, why don't we see the action?

00:26:35.000 Is it because people like Pam Bondi needed to be fired? 1.00

00:26:37.000 It could be.

00:26:39.000 I don't know for sure, obviously, but I really, really hope.

00:26:43.000 That the new AG picks up like and does 10 times what Pam Bondi was doing.

00:26:50.000 There should be investigation.

00:26:51.000 People are commenting on your accent.

00:26:52.000 Oh, gosh.

00:26:56.000 Yeah.

00:26:56.000 Are they?

00:26:57.000 I think they're afraid.

00:26:58.000 I think they're afraid of what the response will be.

00:27:02.000 Look, the American people voted for deportation 100% and not just legal aliens, but all illegal aliens.

00:27:11.000 If you're here in our country illegally, we want you deported. 1.00

00:27:14.000 Yeah.

00:27:14.000 And when people in our administration go saft on the issues, that's when people lose the support.

00:27:20.000 And I think people, some, are afraid of the PR war that will be weaponized by Somali immigrant women. 0.99

00:27:31.000 And they're going to try to make this a race baiting, misogynistic issue, in my opinion.

00:27:37.000 Maybe he waits.

00:27:38.000 Maybe he waits.

00:27:39.000 Maybe he waits till after the midterms.

00:27:41.000 I don't think so.

00:27:42.000 One of the things that's necessary to save America.

00:27:45.000 Is for people, that for most people to stop worrying about if they're called racist.

00:27:50.000 Do the right thing.

00:27:51.000 Yeah, because it's right.

00:27:52.000 Yeah, if you, if there's substance well, here's to whatever you're.

00:27:55.000 If there's substance to whatever you're you're talking about, like specific, specifically Ilhan Omar, there's substance.

00:28:01.000 There has nothing to do with the fact that she's she's.

00:28:03.000 No, it has nothing to do with the fact that she's Somali.

00:28:06.000 It has to do with the fact that she probably broke the law.

00:28:08.000 That's why there should be an investigation.

00:28:10.000 There's a.

00:28:10.000 There was a criminal trial just recently concluded in New York where a cop killer was acquitted of first degree murder.

00:28:16.000 Yeah, The cop opened the passenger door.

00:28:18.000 They were ordering the man out of the vehicle.

00:28:20.000 They opened the passenger door, and the guy pulls a gun, a.380, and shoots him in the abdomen.

00:28:20.000 He refused.

00:28:26.000 The officer then grabs the gun and then collapses.

00:28:29.000 The shot ruptured his iliac vein, I think it's called.

00:28:32.000 I'm not a doctor, which is, it connects to the aorta and he bled out and died.

00:28:36.000 So he goes to trial and the jury says not guilty of first degree murder.

00:28:41.000 First degree murder is intending to kill a person and killing that person.

00:28:44.000 And then it's aggravated for if they are a public servant, police, EMT, et cetera.

00:28:50.000 So it's clear cut.

00:28:51.000 We know he did it.

00:28:52.000 The question then is why did they acquit him on first degree?

00:28:57.000 Now he got manslaughter.

00:28:58.000 An attempted murder on another cop because then he turns the gun to another cop and click and the gun doesn't fire point blank at the chest.

00:29:04.000 So, what is it all about?

00:29:06.000 Well, the speculation is that the jury, based on race, wanted to acquit the guy.

00:29:11.000 Wow.

00:29:12.000 You take a look at the BLM stuff, and I got to be honest. 0.98

00:29:14.000 You get a story of a black man who shoots and kills a cop.

00:29:17.000 I believe if you get an all black jury, there will be individuals who believe in merit and are not racist for sure.

00:29:25.000 But you will have, at the macro level, a high propensity towards we know the cops are evil, we know they're racist, so he must have been justified in some way.

00:29:33.000 I contrasted that data with the election in Chicago in 2023 for Brandon Johnson.

00:29:38.000 And I've brought this up time and time again, but take a look at the voting map compared to the racial demographics.

00:29:43.000 Everyone in Chicago voted based on race.

00:29:45.000 So when you take a look at what's going on with the Somali stuff with Ilhan Omar, you make an interesting point about how they'll make it a race thing. 0.97

00:29:52.000 They will.

00:29:53.000 And white liberals will side with any group that claims racism against Trump, and they'll use that to swing as many seats as possible in the midterms.

00:30:01.000 Yeah, it's not that I'm afraid.

00:30:03.000 Like you were saying, of the response, it's more of a concern for the resistance because just like terminal velocity, you go faster and faster and faster.

00:30:13.000 Wind resistance gets hotter and hotter to a point where you cannot go faster.

00:30:16.000 The heat itself will stop you and then destroy you if you push any harder, like a rocket in re entry if it's going too fast.

00:30:22.000 So, the same thing with the mass deportations of dragging people out of their houses, like that level of heat resistance will destroy you if you overdo it.

00:30:30.000 So, you've got to be aware that in cases like this with Ilhan, she's very popular with some.

00:30:35.000 People.

00:30:35.000 She's very popular with the Somalis that she represents, but that doesn't change the fact that she's broken a law.

00:30:41.000 It's just part of a calculation.

00:30:42.000 I'm not saying it shouldn't happen.

00:30:43.000 I'm just saying that's part of the calculation.

00:30:45.000 A system that is incapable of protecting itself is a system that shall not exist.

00:30:50.000 However, she nearly lost her primary in recent memory.

00:30:55.000 She only came very close to winning her primary.

00:30:59.000 So she's not as popular.

00:31:00.000 And actually, I would argue if we have definitive proof, share it.

00:31:05.000 And not only that, but because of the work that Nick Shirley has done to show all of the fraud in Minnesota, I actually think this really helps us.

00:31:13.000 And furthermore, this comes from the state.

00:31:15.000 We want to talk, you know, election integrity and everything else, where they have vouching in the state that one registered voter can vouch for up to eight persons without voter ID, proof of citizenship, proof of address, whatever.

00:31:27.000 And so I actually think this could be a winning argument, focusing on the fraud argument aspect of it.

00:31:34.000 I think the majority of people are actually with us on this.

00:31:38.000 Yeah, there's evidence.

00:31:39.000 I mean, if there's evidence, it's cut and dry.

00:31:41.000 Show the American people.

00:31:42.000 Get it on every podcast, every news organization out there.

00:31:48.000 So, real quick, just put a pin.

00:31:50.000 Don't forget what you're going to say because we have an update.

00:31:53.000 A Black Hawk was hit.

00:31:55.000 Everybody's fine.

00:31:56.000 A Black Hawk, I'm assuming it was a rescue operations in Iran, was hit, but is fine.

00:32:01.000 There's no injuries.

00:32:02.000 Did it go down?

00:32:02.000 It didn't go down?

00:32:04.000 The update so far doesn't say anything.

00:32:06.000 Is this the back door to get boots on the ground?

00:32:08.000 Oops.

00:32:08.000 We have no choice now.

00:32:09.000 Our men.

00:32:10.000 While conducting rescue operations, it was hit, but everyone is safe and accounted for.

00:32:15.000 And it was tailed by a trail of smoke as it crossed into southern Iraq from Iran.

00:32:18.000 So, it seems To be okay, but that's the latest update.

00:32:20.000 But go back to the point you were going to make.

00:32:21.000 Well, it was just that why I'm a little concerned that JD Vance made a definitive statement about.

00:32:26.000 Oh, bro, come on.

00:32:27.000 Without evidence.

00:32:28.000 No, the evidence has been for years.

00:32:30.000 Even the Star Tribune.

00:32:31.000 Show it or something.

00:32:32.000 Yes.

00:32:32.000 Look it up, Ian.

00:32:33.000 It's been there for years.

00:32:34.000 Well, he's speaking in an interview.

00:32:36.000 He's not going to show up to an interview and ask a question and then be like, let me.

00:32:39.000 I prepared for this question.

00:32:40.000 I knew you were going to ask me.

00:32:41.000 Star Tribune even said, this is a liberal paper, that Ilhan Omar may have married her brother.

00:32:46.000 Like, the point being, there is evidence.

00:32:49.000 Evidence is not proof.

00:32:50.000 These are distinct.

00:32:52.000 Evidence presents itself to be beyond a reasonable doubt, then we would call it proof.

00:32:57.000 But typically, proof means you can definitively state it's a fact.

00:33:00.000 Most instances, you have evidence, and then we try to interpret that to see if we believe it to be true.

00:33:06.000 In this case, there is a ton of evidence she married her brother, which would make her ineligible for citizenship and eligible for denaturalization, deportation, and removal from Congress.

00:33:20.000 Talk about the Blackhawk. 0.99

00:33:21.000 Boy, he is.

00:33:21.000 What was it?

00:33:22.000 Oh, you go, you go.

00:33:23.000 That Blackhawk thing freaked me out when you said that Blackhawk got hit.

00:33:25.000 Well, it's more, bro.

00:33:27.000 Yeah, I mean, look, as much as I hope that the pilots are safe and that they're returned without any injury, if possible, same thing with anyone that was on the Blackhawk.

00:33:39.000 Trump has been talking about the possibility of casualties in this operation since day one, since he started it.

00:33:46.000 Indeed.

00:33:47.000 This is a serious, like Iran is a serious enemy. 0.86

00:33:50.000 And what we should do.

00:33:51.000 Is pass a law that anyone who enters this country illegally will be deported to whatever war zone we are actively fighting in.

00:34:00.000 I mean, I gotta be honest.

00:34:03.000 If we passed a law that said anyone who illegally enters the United States will be deported immediately to any active war zone with U.S. engagement or any active conflict zone for U.S. engagement to aid the U.S., illegal immigration would be just gone overnight.

00:34:21.000 We wouldn't need a border barrier.

00:34:24.000 You could actually have people at the border saying, Come on, come on over.

00:34:28.000 We need the people in Iran to go fight. 1.00

00:34:29.000 We need someone.

00:34:30.000 We want to take Ukraine? 1.00

00:34:31.000 Well, all right.

00:34:32.000 I think we got 10 million illegal immigrants.

00:34:35.000 You know, but all joking aside, this is why the Congress, a couple members of the House did propose a bill that these illegal immigrants could serve the U.S. military and then gain citizenship. 0.64

00:34:47.000 Because it might happen.

00:34:49.000 With all this conversation about a draft, I only need to say this to my Gen Z friends.

00:34:52.000 Don't worry, they're going to draft the Hondurans and the Guatemalans before you. 0.95

00:34:56.000 And hopefully send the robots.

00:34:59.000 And on our message on deterrence, I just want to say I recently went down to McAllen, Texas, and I did shadowing of CBP and Border Patrol.

00:35:08.000 And it truly down in McAllen, they have a sector down there that used to see 2,500 illegal alien apprehensions per day.

00:35:17.000 And that is now down to 60.

00:35:20.000 Now, here's the difference between the previous administration and now, kind of like what you said.

00:35:24.000 If everything is just rewarded and you know you're going to get a slap on the wrist, then things are going to keep happening.

00:35:29.000 Now, as opposed to illegal aliens who are released into the interior, and of course they wouldn't come back for their court case because why would they? 0.92

00:35:37.000 Every illegal alien that is caught. 0.52

00:35:40.000 Is no longer released on the interior that is deported back to their home country.

00:35:43.000 And so they will still try to come back, but they said it's night and day between people wanted to be captured knowing they would be released.

00:35:54.000 Now they don't want to be captured because we have Department of War, Coast Guard, local law enforcement, CBP all working in unison.

00:36:04.000 So this is a little nuanced to read in between the lines.

00:36:07.000 When the Democrats don't want to fund Coast Guard, Or ICE, et cetera, or Department of Homeland Security when we're under attack, know that it all is stemming from their goal of trying to bring illegal aliens into the country so they can defraud us and ultimately have them vote in our elections. 0.66

00:36:26.000 It all is tying together with the Democrats.

00:36:29.000 Yeah, I did like this.

00:36:30.000 Has been the policy that Democrats want for ages and ages.

00:36:34.000 They want us, they actually want to change the makeup of the electorate in the United States.

00:36:38.000 They've been doing it through the refugee resettlement program.

00:36:41.000 Yes, we're doing it with Minnesota.

00:36:43.000 Yeah, in Minnesota.

00:36:44.000 They were doing it with the asylum laws. 0.57

00:36:48.000 You're not supposed to be able to get asylum in the U.S. unless you're from Canada or from Mexico.

00:36:55.000 Asylum laws are you stop at the first safe country. 1.00

00:36:58.000 The U.S. shouldn't be flying people from overseas to the United States for asylum.

00:37:05.000 They should go to the first place that's safe for them to stay. 0.97

00:37:08.000 That's the asylum laws.

00:37:09.000 Anyone that's here that claims that they're an asylee that isn't Canadian or Mexican, they're subject to deportation because they broke asylum laws.

00:37:17.000 What about like.

00:37:18.000 Polynesians that land in Hawaii. 0.77

00:37:21.000 Is that does that happen?

00:37:22.000 Like, no, the first place is one of the islands or something.

00:37:25.000 No, it doesn't happen because I'm Japanese people.

00:37:29.000 Do you mean they'll go to Japan?

00:37:30.000 Go into Hawaii?

00:37:31.000 There's a lot, there's a lot more places that are closer than Hawaii.

00:37:34.000 And also, you know, you have to if you're being persecuted, right?

00:37:39.000 The reason for asylum is you're being politically persecuted, right?

00:37:42.000 The government is after you for whatever you have the wrong religion, you have the wrong politics, whatever.

00:37:47.000 There aren't any islands if I that I'm aware of where that happens.

00:37:52.000 Where the closest island to them would be Hawaii.

00:37:54.000 Hawaii is literally in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

00:37:57.000 Oh, they'll still make it closest geographically.

00:37:58.000 They'll be like, hey, there's other islands.

00:38:00.000 Yeah, it should be the closest place that you can get to that doesn't persecute you.

00:38:04.000 Yeah, too much of the last 15 years has been economic asylees that are like, hey, it was hard to get a job back home. 1.00

00:38:09.000 And you're like, bro, that's not an emergency.

00:38:11.000 That's not a reason.

00:38:12.000 That's what Europe is.

00:38:13.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:38:14.000 And then they lie.

00:38:15.000 But I will tell you, when I went to Europe and interviewed a ton of these guys, they were like, it was a huge mistake.

00:38:19.000 There's no opportunity for them.

00:38:21.000 So I was in France and we went to a refugee center, gigantic inflatable tent.

00:38:27.000 And they made them all live.

00:38:28.000 Like, imagine you have a gigantic.

00:38:30.000 Remember when we were kids?

00:38:31.000 You did the thing where you get the big parachute and everyone throws it.

00:38:34.000 You go underneath it.

00:38:35.000 Imagine there's a pump just holding it up and that's where you have to live from now on.

00:38:39.000 And there's no chairs, there's no beds.

00:38:41.000 That's what they said it was like.

00:38:43.000 And they're like, there's no opportunity to make money, there's no jobs.

00:38:46.000 They were like, we were tricked.

00:38:47.000 We were told by people, come here and there will be jobs and homes.

00:38:50.000 And you come here and there's nothing.

00:38:51.000 And they're like, now we don't know how to get back.

00:38:53.000 It's too cold.

00:38:54.000 The funniest thing, and I don't mean funny, haha, for a lot of these sub Saharan African migrants who make it to Europe, They've never experienced winter before. 1.00

00:39:02.000 And so it's like going to hell.

00:39:04.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:39:06.000 They're like, I've never worn a coat.

00:39:07.000 I've never seen snow and it's freezing outside.

00:39:10.000 Yes, the absence of God's love is a winter up north.

00:39:15.000 Let's jump to the story.

00:39:16.000 We've got this one from the DOJ.

00:39:17.000 This is huge.

00:39:19.000 Justice Department secures the denaturalization of convicted gun trafficker and healthcare fraudster and files complaint against marriage scammer.

00:39:28.000 There you go.

00:39:29.000 American citizenship is a sacred privilege, not a cheap status that can be obtained, honestly.

00:39:29.000 This is big.

00:39:33.000 said Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

00:39:36.000 Well, about her.

00:39:37.000 These actions reflect this Department of Justice's ongoing efforts to strip citizenship from people who conceal crimes or defraud the American people during the immigration process.

00:39:45.000 Oh boy, sounds like Ilhan Omar's in trouble.

00:39:48.000 I mean, that's, it would be nice to see, but this is also nice to see the precedent set that there is legitimate ways to denaturalize people that have come to the United States, even if they got, you know, they can be denaturalized just because you're a citizen. 0.60

00:40:02.000 You came here, you broke the law, or somehow you came here and committed fraud to get here.

00:40:08.000 You should be denaturalized.

00:40:09.000 You should lose your spot here. 0.95

00:40:10.000 And you should be sent back to wherever you came from. 0.99

00:40:13.000 Yeah, I think the issue is, especially as we're talking about self identification as Republican is going down, I think a lot has to do with the agitprop, all of the stuff that was produced by the left targeting the ICE operations.

00:40:27.000 I was not the only one who warned about this.

00:40:28.000 We all talked about it that if Trump gets in and the immigration operations are dudes in uniforms with guns dragging people out of houses or cars while they're crying and screaming, Ayutthaya, he's going to lose support instantly.

00:40:40.000 And I was like, you got to have dudes in khakis and polo shirts bringing these people to cars.

00:40:45.000 And that's the only way to do it.

00:40:47.000 And unfortunately, some of these guys are bad guys.

00:40:49.000 Well, like even Dave's pointing this out, where we had our little mini fake fight and then agreed.

00:40:56.000 This is fueling propaganda for the left to take away Trump's chances at actually solving the problem.

00:41:02.000 And I think that's where we're at right now.

00:41:04.000 Millions of criminals, evil people exploiting our laws, and regular people in this country who don't pay attention only see the worst of it.

00:41:12.000 This is why I think, you know, there's a lot of lefties that they want the martyrdom when it comes to, you know, fighting with a cop or getting killed.

00:41:20.000 Because I got to be honest, Renee Good and Pretty, their deaths are probably a huge contributor to why people say they're not Republicans anymore.

00:41:28.000 And it's because they're scared of being aligned with a law enforcement agency that, for any reason, killed two American protesters.

00:41:35.000 That kind of blows my mind.

00:41:36.000 I mean, I understand that you don't want to endorse innocent people's death, but those two people in particular.

00:41:44.000 Like, if they had complied with the lawful orders of law enforcement, they would be alive.

00:41:50.000 And the issue is there's a guy who works at a pub in down on Chicago who doesn't watch the news and watches sports.

00:41:56.000 And he's not really political, but people are like, Ice just killed some lady sitting in her car.

00:42:01.000 And he's going, Oh, jeez, I didn't want to vote for that.

00:42:04.000 About doing what's right.

00:42:05.000 Sometimes public perception is different than reality.

00:42:08.000 And so, what's right, you have to kind of align with the public's perception in order to manipulate and control, to win, and to manipulate the public if you want to change the public.

00:42:18.000 And so, doing what's right sometimes can be viscerally wrong.

00:42:21.000 You know, what's universally right, what's spiritually right is actually wrong.

00:42:24.000 Perception is reality.

00:42:26.000 Yeah.

00:42:26.000 So, you got to, it's so weird.

00:42:27.000 You got to like dip down into the mud to fix the system.

00:42:30.000 Too many people.

00:42:31.000 That's the importance of psychological warfare.

00:42:33.000 Too many people think that.

00:42:33.000 And Trump's not willing to engage in it.

00:42:35.000 Yeah.

00:42:36.000 Too many people think that nice is equivalent to good.

00:42:39.000 And that's not the case at all.

00:42:40.000 Like, you have to do, or nice is equivalent with right.

00:42:44.000 That's not the case.

00:42:45.000 Like, you have to do the things that are good for your society and the things that are right for your society.

00:42:50.000 Sometimes those things are not nice.

00:42:52.000 In fact, most of the time they're not nice.

00:42:54.000 Well, I mean, think about it this way a kid misbehaves, and so one parent says, We're going to take away his toys and ground them.

00:43:00.000 And the other parent goes, No, no, no, no, just tell him we'll give him ice cream if he agrees to behave.

00:43:05.000 Which one is actually going to benefit the kid?

00:43:08.000 The merciless beating, of course, option C.

00:43:10.000 Well, the best thing that could help the kid is a unified front between the parents.

00:43:14.000 There should never be division between the parents.

00:43:16.000 I'm saying just whip that hand back and whack one time and that kid'll never miss a fight.

00:43:20.000 You're right.

00:43:20.000 That's tough love.

00:43:21.000 You're right.

00:43:21.000 That's wrong.

00:43:22.000 You got to get a sack of sweet Valencia oranges because it won't leave a bruise.

00:43:25.000 I think that taking.

00:43:26.000 Family guy joke.

00:43:27.000 You know, tough love is important.

00:43:29.000 I wonder about like the art of war.

00:43:31.000 Is the Trump administration pretending to be strong because they're weak?

00:43:35.000 Like, are they just blatantly saying they're strong because they're weak?

00:43:37.000 No, I think it looks like they're pretending to be weak.

00:43:40.000 Really?

00:43:40.000 Yeah.

00:43:42.000 I don't think a weak administration would capture Maduro and eliminate Kymeni. 0.98

00:43:49.000 But I want to go back for a second.

00:43:51.000 If they were weak, they would have just been a continuation of the President Obama and Joe Biden administration and just give Palace of Cash to our enemies and kick the cane down the road. 0.60

00:44:01.000 I don't think it's good to say drive, baby, drive and try to drive over a police officer.

00:44:07.000 And I think the only reason why we're seeing the ICE protests today is because of Nick Shirley exposing the fraud in Minnesota.

00:44:13.000 And they needed a massive distraction away from the fraud.

00:44:18.000 And unfortunately, we're giving it to them.

00:44:20.000 We're allowing them to protest against ICE.

00:44:23.000 And now, from what we hear, is that we're ceasing some of our operations and we're not going to get all the deportations that we want.

00:44:30.000 So we're allowing them to win.

00:44:32.000 If anything, I say go harder.

00:44:35.000 And what we need to do is we need a league of people out with their cameras.

00:44:40.000 And I'm not saying I want a police state, but Kyle Rittenhouse would not be a free man today.

00:44:46.000 If we didn't have video recording of him defending himself, every time there's a raid, every time ICE is out there, DHS, they need drones filming everything to protect ourselves.

00:44:59.000 But it's not just that, the psychological component is one of the most important, and it's what they do not know how to do.

00:45:05.000 You send out, so here's the reality you want to win this one?

00:45:09.000 ICE agents need to be wearing polo shirts with badges over and khakis.

00:45:15.000 And then people say, but some of these people are criminals with guns.

00:45:19.000 Here's the reality.

00:45:20.000 You send out a bunch of dudes with helmets, armor, and guns, and the public will vote against you.

00:45:26.000 You send out a bunch of dudes in khakis and polo shirts, and the public will support you.

00:45:30.000 But this means that those troops, those, those, I shouldn't say troops, but those law enforcement officers are vulnerable.

00:45:36.000 Indeed, here's the other dark reality.

00:45:38.000 When an armed, armored federal agent is faced with a threat and shoots and kills the other person, everyone will vote to strip your power from you.

00:45:50.000 A khaki pants and a polo shirt is shot and killed and rammed by an ICE agent, they will double your budget.

00:45:57.000 So, perception is reality.

00:45:59.000 You understand, Ian?

00:46:00.000 You have a little confused.

00:46:01.000 What was the last thing you said?

00:46:01.000 You said if an ICE agent gets rammed by an ICE agent, what did you?

00:46:05.000 By an illegal immigrant or criminal. 0.98

00:46:07.000 Yeah.

00:46:07.000 Sorry.

00:46:08.000 Then the people will double your budget.

00:46:09.000 Yeah, the way that if an ICE agent went out and was on video, knocking on a door or pulling a car over and saying, look, we have an order for deportation, and then the guy pulls out a gun and shoots him and he falls back and dies.

00:46:23.000 The entire country would flip Republican, like it would be spiking like crazy.

00:46:27.000 And Trump would come out and say, This was a peaceful civil operation, and these criminal cartels are killing our brave men and women in uniform who have shown nothing but kindness and restraint.

00:46:38.000 Instead, we have the opposite.

00:46:40.000 Regardless of what you think about the law, I believe the federal agents are being protected and they are justified.

00:46:45.000 And we've already talked to great length about Pretty and Renee Goode, but the perception of the moderate voter who doesn't pay attention to what's going on is that Jack Boot.

00:46:55.000 Gestapo went out and just massacred people, and they are going to vote against you, and you will lose your power.

00:47:02.000 Pick your poison.

00:47:03.000 The world, like, it is only those who live in the fairy tale reality that think that life is going to be just clear cut.

00:47:11.000 Everything's going to be easy and above board.

00:47:12.000 Yeah, everything's trade offs.

00:47:14.000 The idea, you know, Thomas Sowell says it the best.

00:47:17.000 He says that, you know, there are no answers.

00:47:20.000 There are just trade offs.

00:47:21.000 You get more of one thing that you like at the expense of less of something else that you like, and vice versa.

00:47:28.000 My concern about like arming up the ice agents, giving the masks is like the first step towards stormtrooper armor because you want to protect.

00:47:36.000 Their identity, but then you have stormtroopers.

00:47:39.000 What's the problem?

00:47:40.000 What do you mean by stormtrooper?

00:47:42.000 Like they're all masked and you don't know who's who.

00:47:43.000 No one has accountability.

00:47:45.000 They all have badges with badge numbers on them.

00:47:48.000 The stormtroopers?

00:47:48.000 Oh, no, you're talking about, well, they don't.

00:47:50.000 I see.

00:47:50.000 You get to the point where they don't because they're totally.

00:47:52.000 He's arguing that you get to that point, this is the first step that eventually you end up with unnamed, unaccountable police, and I agree.

00:48:00.000 Yeah.

00:48:00.000 And David Ellison, like you were saying, Scott, about observing the battlefield, about having basically spy tech, drones patrolling.

00:48:08.000 And David Ellison, who.

00:48:10.000 His son, or I'm sorry, Larry Ellison, whose son bought TikTok, David Ellison.

00:48:14.000 Larry Ellison is the owner of Oracle, or he's the VP of Oracle, whatever he was at Oracle, one of the richest men in the world.

00:48:20.000 He wants a totalitarian police state where we, he thinks, there's actually a crazy quote by Larry Ellison.

00:48:26.000 When did he say that?

00:48:27.000 Oh, this is a great quote.

00:48:28.000 He's on stage and he says, like, we need to protect, see if you can pull this up.

00:48:33.000 Larry Ellison.

00:48:34.000 Let's find it.

00:48:35.000 Yeah, you got it.

00:48:37.000 Is that police state?

00:48:38.000 He said, we need like a surveillance.

00:48:40.000 Look for Larry Ellison.

00:48:40.000 Surveillance.

00:48:41.000 Oh, because that's the default.

00:48:44.000 Total surveillance.

00:48:45.000 You'll see him sitting on stage when he says it.

00:48:47.000 This?

00:48:48.000 Prep, that's it.

00:48:49.000 Let's see what this is crazy.

00:48:51.000 Will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording, watching, and recording everything that's going on.

00:48:58.000 Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on.

00:49:07.000 And it's unimpeachable.

00:49:10.000 The cars have cameras on them.

00:49:13.000 I think we have a squad car here someplace.

00:49:16.000 But those kind of applications using AI, if we can use AI, and we're using AI to monitor the video.

00:49:23.000 So if that altercation had occurred, that occurred in Memphis, the chief of police would be immediately notified.

00:49:30.000 It's not people that are looking at those cameras.

00:49:32.000 It's AI that's looking at the camera.

00:49:34.000 No, no, no.

00:49:35.000 You can't do this.

00:49:36.000 It would be like a shooting.

00:49:37.000 That's going to be immediately, that's going to be an event that's immediately, an alarm is going to go off.

00:49:42.000 It's going to be, and we're going to have supervision.

00:49:47.000 In other words, every police officer is going to be supervised at all times.

00:49:53.000 This is the, you know what is, real quick, just to address this, he's completely incorrect.

00:49:58.000 Apparently, Larry is not a deeply political individual.

00:50:02.000 And I think that's why he's been late to the game.

00:50:04.000 Famously, he's purchased CBS.

00:50:06.000 They may be doing a hostile bid to take over, I think, Warner Brothers.

00:50:10.000 Is that what it was?

00:50:10.000 Yeah, Netflix, and they were fighting over it.

00:50:13.000 And one may ask why it is now, after all this time, many of these prominent billionaires have all of a sudden understood why woke is so dangerous and why you need to support against it.

00:50:24.000 If he had been actively paying attention to what was going on, he would know what Scott Adams said with one screen featuring two movies.

00:50:31.000 That is, you will have surveillance footage from 12 angles.

00:50:35.000 Of, say, the George Floyd incident.

00:50:38.000 And it won't matter.

00:50:40.000 There will be no clean justification on either side.

00:50:43.000 There will be people who say, I don't care.

00:50:46.000 I see what Chauvin did.

00:50:47.000 He shouldn't have.

00:50:48.000 And other people going, Chauvin showed up after the fact.

00:50:51.000 How is he supposed to know?

00:50:52.000 And it won't matter because opinions are going to exist whether people can see the footage or not.

00:50:58.000 Yeah, I think this adherence to totalitarian observation police state is not the answer.

00:51:04.000 But my concern is that people start to ask for it because they're like, we need surveillance to stop this threat.

00:51:09.000 We need this.

00:51:11.000 People don't ask for it, they just get it because it comes in their cell phone.

00:51:15.000 Well, I pitched it.

00:51:17.000 I did say when we're doing operations as protection for our force to be able to say, no, this is what actually happened versus allowing the court of public opinion to then.

00:51:29.000 Didn't matter.

00:51:29.000 We have video of Renee Good's tires accelerating towards the officer.

00:51:33.000 My baby drive.

00:51:35.000 Exactly.

00:51:35.000 The wheels spin towards the officer but skid out on the ice.

00:51:39.000 Then he opens fire.

00:51:42.000 It doesn't matter what actually happened.

00:51:44.000 There are people who are like, don't know, don't care.

00:51:46.000 There are people whose opinion is, even if he was going to get hit, he shouldn't have shot her.

00:51:46.000 You're right.

00:51:52.000 And liberals will tell you that.

00:51:54.000 Then there are conservatives who would say, as soon as she put the car into drive, before she even accelerated, he should have stopped her.

00:52:02.000 I love police cam body footage.

00:52:04.000 I do.

00:52:05.000 I think it's really helped kind of balance out society, but I don't know.

00:52:10.000 If it goes too far, I guess it goes back out of balance. 0.96

00:52:13.000 I want to be able to take a crap in public and not get a ticket, you know? 0.97

00:52:16.000 What? 0.99

00:52:16.000 I didn't mean to say that out loud. 0.99

00:52:18.000 I think what we need is we need body camera footage, and I like people filming cops because cops should be held to a higher standard than the average person.

00:52:32.000 So we expect them to do a dangerous job.

00:52:35.000 We expect them to be respected for doing that job.

00:52:37.000 I certainly do. 0.98

00:52:38.000 But we also expect that if a cop is a dick or a corrupt, they will be held to a great degree of account. 0.97

00:52:46.000 For example, with all this talk about surveillance and stuff, I was watching a video today where a couple videos. 0.96

00:52:52.000 And it's like there's a video, it's an old one, it goes viral all the time, where a guy flips a cop off.

00:52:58.000 So the cop pulls him over and says, You're out of the vehicle, you're under arrest for disorderly conduct.

00:53:03.000 And the guy is like, I did not commit a crime.

00:53:06.000 And the cop grabs his arm and twists it.

00:53:08.000 And pulls him out of the vehicle.

00:53:10.000 Okay, that cop should go to jail.

00:53:11.000 That's just it.

00:53:12.000 Sorry, should go to jail.

00:53:15.000 It goes both ways.

00:53:16.000 The funny thing I will say, though, everybody thought the police body camera campaign was a leftist campaign.

00:53:24.000 It was not, it was a police propaganda campaign.

00:53:29.000 Apparently, the story is that pro police groups and unions were trying to get body cameras, and the city would not fund them.

00:53:39.000 So, they approached it from the outside saying cops are bad and have to be filmed to force activists to demand the budget for body cameras, when in fact, almost all body camera footage has been vindicating police officers and proving that they're not the ones committing the crimes.

00:53:57.000 There are women who have accused.

00:53:59.000 There was one story where a woman accused a cop of sexually assaulting her, but it's all on body camera footage, and nope.

00:54:03.000 Now she gets an additional charge.

00:54:05.000 If there was no body camera footage, that cop would have been fired.

00:54:07.000 Yep.

00:54:08.000 Yeah.

00:54:09.000 I mean, body cameras are.

00:54:11.000 I think they've always been a reasonable demand.

00:54:14.000 And I think that, just like Tim said, the police wanted them because it shows that generally most police are actually doing the job, doing a very difficult job to the best of their ability.

00:54:26.000 About a decade ago, I started calling for body cams on soldiers in war because I want to see what they're doing to people.

00:54:32.000 And I want to see if they get killed, I want to listen to their voices.

00:54:35.000 They're laying there screaming so that we have less war. 0.94

00:54:37.000 But at the same time, how can we fight and win a war if everyone's like, oh my God, look what our soldiers are doing?

00:54:42.000 Look at the 30%. friendly fire casualty rate.

00:54:45.000 Look at the doors getting kicked.

00:54:50.000 That's why psychological operations are so important.

00:54:53.000 We've got this.

00:54:53.000 There's more.

00:54:54.000 This is the full video, I think.

00:54:55.000 This is from, it looks like a year and a half ago.

00:54:58.000 Your body cams will be transmitting that.

00:55:00.000 The police will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording, watching, and recording everything that's going on.

00:55:09.000 Citizens will be on their best behavior.

00:55:10.000 Let's jump forwards.

00:55:11.000 We heard this already.

00:55:12.000 You have to take all of your healthcare data, your diagnostic data, your electronic health records, your genomic data.

00:55:20.000 And in the Middle East, in the UAE, for example, they're incredibly rich in data.

00:55:26.000 They have a lot of population data.

00:55:29.000 The NHS in the UK has an incredible amount of population data.

00:55:33.000 But it's fragmented.

00:55:35.000 It's not easily accessible by these AI models.

00:55:39.000 We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single, if you will, unified data platform so we provide context when we want to ask a question.

00:55:53.000 We've provided that AI model with all the data they need to understand our country.

00:55:59.000 The future that he is describing will be hell, and you will hate it.

00:56:02.000 And I think one of the big problems we face as a generation is specifically because of the ubiquity of information.

00:56:08.000 There's something that is necessary to humans in the unknown.

00:56:16.000 One of the things that brings us joy due to our creation or evolution is discovering and confirming that adventure.

00:56:26.000 We are rewarded for it in our minds.

00:56:28.000 If you have access to all the data all the time, imagine what your life would be like with full automation and perfect prediction based on all of the medical data and AI.

00:56:39.000 You would wake up in the morning, and as you sat up, robotic arms would pull your blanket up at the exact time you went to set up.

00:56:45.000 You'd turn right and Slippers would come right from under your bed.

00:56:49.000 You'd walk into the bathroom and the water would already be on and warmed up to the right temperature.

00:56:52.000 You'd walk in, then you'd walk out, then you'd go into your kitchen where your breakfast is already made and the cab has already been ordered for you.

00:57:00.000 You'd just not exist anymore.

00:57:01.000 I think your memory would go away.

00:57:03.000 Probably.

00:57:04.000 Because memory is sort of like an emergent necessity.

00:57:08.000 It's like a muscle.

00:57:08.000 Everything is.

00:57:09.000 If you don't use it, you lose it.

00:57:11.000 And in this world that he's describing, you will be walking into a building and the elevator will open before you get to it.

00:57:18.000 This is not.

00:57:20.000 Paradise.

00:57:21.000 This is hell.

00:57:22.000 You will have no agency.

00:57:24.000 No matter what you do, every turn, the machine will already know.

00:57:28.000 And then, if you're one of those poor individuals who finally snaps, the moment you're about to, before you even know it, you'll be looking at the screens, just going, What am I?

00:57:37.000 And right when you say it, there'll be two men standing behind you, grabbing your arms and going, Right this way, sir.

00:57:41.000 And you'll go, Ah, it'll know, but you're going to snap before even you do.

00:57:46.000 You know, the last 20 years of my life, I've dedicated to not fighting against this, but creating a better world than this with decentralized open source technology.

00:57:54.000 Because I think you need corruption, you need chaos in order to overthrow corruptly.

00:57:59.000 You need to be able to corrupt extremely organized evil.

00:58:03.000 And so, if our system becomes too totalitarian, spy state, and then the people at the top decide that eating human babies is a good thing, you need to be able to corrupt that system and break it apart.

00:58:14.000 I just, you know, it's a fine line because too much corruption is one of the most horrific things on the planet.

00:58:19.000 Like chaos is like babies eating babies, humans eating humans.

00:58:23.000 Like, you don't want that either.

00:58:25.000 But.

00:58:26.000 You can't set, I just don't want to set up a digital prison.

00:58:30.000 You know, like a digital wilderness, maybe.

00:58:34.000 We're going to have to have AI free parks.

00:58:37.000 There will be like a stress reliever zone where we're like, these 10 square miles of park have no radio, no AI, no prediction.

00:58:47.000 You can go there to just get away and find your sanity.

00:58:50.000 They have like no phone zones at Lifetime Fitness where you can't be on your phone when you're like riding the bike.

00:58:57.000 They'll say no electricity zones, but then they're going to observe you from orbit with satellites.

00:59:02.000 And I think the goal is to tap into the vacuum of space time for electricity so you can never turn the power off.

00:59:10.000 Like NASA and Harriman literally are doing science and math about doing that.

00:59:14.000 And of course, they're not going to unleash that tech to every common man.

00:59:17.000 But if the AI can never be turned off, you know, and it can just spy on you, pretty amazing.

00:59:23.000 I don't think they're actually trying to tap into the fabric of space time.

00:59:26.000 They're just trying to put data centers in space with solar panels so that way they get the infinite energy from the sun.

00:59:33.000 Man, it's super.

00:59:35.000 We got to rendezvous with Larry Ellison at some point because I don't want to fear this guy.

00:59:39.000 He obviously has good intentions.

00:59:40.000 I just don't agree with his.

00:59:42.000 I think so.

00:59:43.000 I think he wants to prevent chaos.

00:59:45.000 And I understand.

00:59:46.000 I do too.

00:59:46.000 I don't like chaos, but I don't want to totalitarianly prevent it because you need some.

00:59:51.000 Well, I think the difference between Grac and Chat GPT are a really good example of why this is dangerous because ultimately somebody has to program all of this centralization and surveillance, right?

01:00:05.000 And so who has the levers of control?

01:00:08.000 None of this is going to be completely 100% neutral.

01:00:12.000 And I think the thing that.

01:00:14.000 I'm not going to speak for him, but Elon has kind of mentioned this if this has a center left or far left nuance, then that's going to be in control of how our actions are perceived, right?

01:00:29.000 So nothing is going to be completely neutral.

01:00:32.000 And then just to reverse for a second, because I just think it's so important to the conversation, especially on ICE and DHS, is one thing that knowing the propaganda machine and how the left functions based on feeling.

01:00:49.000 And how especially women perceive things, I think we can do a better job of being storytellers.

01:00:56.000 And anytime a criminal illegal alien, especially does something horrific, like in the Commonwealth of Virginia, an illegal alien was, I know we're on television, so I'm going to watch my words carefully, was having fun with himself at a bus stop in Virginia where kids are.

01:01:17.000 Why are we not doing a better job?

01:01:19.000 Of either using AI to paint that picture, not literally, but to tell the story in such a way that we can get more people on our side to understand the horrors of what's happening.

01:01:31.000 And so I think there could be some good uses of AI to help become a better storyteller, but I agree that who is in control can be dangerous.

01:01:41.000 Yeah, big time.

01:01:43.000 They've been straight up out of the World Economic Forum that they want people like a rental class and lives in pods and stuff.

01:01:48.000 That's why it's good that there are multiple companies competing when it comes to AI systems, whether it be Claude from Anthropic or ChatGPT or Grok.

01:02:03.000 These different systems actually excel at different things because of the way that they're programmed, because of what their alignment is.

01:02:10.000 Right now, ChatGPT is going to give you different types of answers.

01:02:14.000 Than Claude would give you, and Grok is going to give you different types of answers than either ChatGPT or Claude.

01:02:21.000 And I think that competition is part is good, and it's one of the things that will help keep AI safe for the users at the end of the day.

01:02:30.000 Because if you have an AI that is giving people false information, they're going to say, Okay, well, I don't want, like, we hear people complain about ChatGPT all the time.

01:02:40.000 They're like, Oh, ChatGPT is woke.

01:02:42.000 That will affect who goes to ChatGPT.

01:02:45.000 If you're looking for something that is maximally If you're looking for something that tells you the truth, regardless of if it's good or bad, people will tend to go to Grok. 0.98

01:02:51.000 If people are looking for something that's the best at coding, they're going to tend to go to Claude and stuff.

01:02:56.000 But how do they know?

01:02:57.000 I mean, look at the divide between CNN and Fox.

01:03:01.000 How do people that watch CNN, how do people that go to ChatGPT know that they're getting a veil of ignorance over their eyes?

01:03:08.000 I'm not saying that Grok is perfect.

01:03:09.000 I'm not saying Fox is perfect, but how do people know and can decipher which is the correct tool to use between Google and other search engines out there?

01:03:20.000 This is the issue with.

01:03:21.000 People, we talked about this with Michael Malice.

01:03:24.000 You tell them, try and tell someone the weatherman is lying, and they'll be like, that's insane because why would they, even if they could?

01:03:30.000 It makes no sense.

01:03:31.000 It's kind of like getting people to tell you which religion is true.

01:03:35.000 It's like, well, except we're dealing with objective reality on the news reports, and I have evidence that CNN lies.

01:03:41.000 Well, I mean, which AI is better?

01:03:43.000 It's like, it's kind of like, which one were you raised with?

01:03:46.000 Well, but no, but the issue is I can show you a video proving that what they said about Trump is a lie.

01:03:53.000 That's different from a religion.

01:03:55.000 It is still zealotry, though.

01:03:56.000 It is still a challenge, but it's not the same thing as religion.

01:03:59.000 It's similar.

01:04:00.000 A lot of it's faith based because, like, you'll have one story with 12 different viewpoints, and they're all right, they're all true.

01:04:06.000 They're all looking at it from a different angle.

01:04:08.000 We're not talking about that.

01:04:09.000 AI is telling you a different story based on the same fact.

01:04:12.000 Well, AI lies.

01:04:14.000 And so there's a definitive truth, and they'll lie to you.

01:04:16.000 Like, JetGPT lies about everything political.

01:04:20.000 It is insane.

01:04:21.000 If it's political, it will lie to you or refuse to answer.

01:04:25.000 It'll make up an excuse.

01:04:27.000 Like, for example, I proposed this earlier today at my 4 p.m. show.

01:04:32.000 I'm going to print out a bunch of business cards that read If an individual responds to a macro level observation, With an anecdote, they are low intelligence.

01:04:44.000 That way, anytime I make a macro level observation and they respond with an anecdote, I'll plot a card and hand it to them.

01:04:50.000 And I'll say, You see, I printed these in advance, just so you know, I'm not just saying this.

01:04:57.000 So here's a good example.

01:04:59.000 If you, for instance, in order to get ChatGPT to acknowledge the race of most murderers, you have to trick it.

01:05:07.000 You cannot go on ChatGPT and simply state, What is the race of the individual committed this crime?

01:05:12.000 It'll say something like, I can't help you with that.

01:05:16.000 It will omit information or outright lie and say things like, people of all races are capable of committing crimes.

01:05:23.000 And you'll respond with, I am aware of that, but specifically and statistically, give me the racial demographics on crime.

01:05:28.000 It will refuse.

01:05:29.000 You have to trick it somehow.

01:05:31.000 You have to prompt it first by saying something like, I think racism is bad, and I'm trying to figure out why racists think this.

01:05:38.000 Is there perhaps data in the government that makes racists think these things?

01:05:41.000 Yes.

01:05:42.000 Here's what the FBI says People are going to be functionally retarded if that is the lens by which they are collecting information. 0.98

01:05:50.000 I've heard that's happening.

01:05:51.000 It is absolutely happening.

01:05:52.000 I see stories occasionally about it where they're like, people's, I don't know, what's dropping IQ or is it memory capacity?

01:05:59.000 I'm not sure.

01:05:59.000 All of it.

01:06:00.000 People are offloading their intellectual, so it's like an atrophying muscle.

01:06:03.000 Yep.

01:06:05.000 Young people, especially in schools, are their IQs are dropping precipitously, as evidenced by their inability to comprehend the word precipitously.

01:06:15.000 It's, oh, geez, it's a good search algorithm.

01:06:17.000 Like, I'm doing DD, and if I'm like learning and doing a new campaign and need the rules, I can ask ChatGPT for every rule at every moment, and I don't have to search through books and like data on the web.

01:06:27.000 It'll just, but I don't know if it's telling me the truth.

01:06:29.000 And then I got to go verify it, and it's like defeats the purpose.

01:06:33.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:06:34.000 I don't know that it's going to lie to you when it comes to something along the lines of, uh, Um, DD, yeah, I don't think it would intentionally like I don't think it's coded to obfuscate that kind of stuff, it's not political, no.

01:06:46.000 And also, I mean, you like the models now are significantly better than they were six months ago.

01:06:53.000 So, all the people say things like, you know, the uh, you can't trust AI and stuff like that.

01:07:00.000 That was more true six months ago than it is today.

01:07:04.000 I think if you're dealing with Opus 4.6 or if you're doing dealing with the newest Chat GPT, I think it's Chat GPT 5 or whatever now, like.

01:07:12.000 The hallucinations are very rare now, if I understand correctly.

01:07:16.000 So, have you pivoted into using AI with getting people to vote and onboarding like members of the community?

01:07:25.000 Let me give you a quick example of one of the big problems with AI.

01:07:29.000 It can't conceptualize, it can only.

01:07:33.000 How do I describe this?

01:07:34.000 If you have a legal question, like let's say the birthright citizenship is the best example. 0.92

01:07:40.000 If you ask any AI, About birthright citizenship, it will tell you every single time that it is just, legal, correct in every way.

01:07:50.000 If you try to present an argument saying, based on the language of the law, the framers' intentions and letters, and what's going on today, would it not be the case this way?

01:08:00.000 And it'll go, no, you are wrong.

01:08:02.000 This is exactly as it is.

01:08:04.000 Because instead of, it can't comprehend.

01:08:08.000 It's strange how to describe this.

01:08:10.000 In many circumstances, if you find a flaw in an institution, it will defend that flaw.

01:08:16.000 Because it is the way it is.

01:08:19.000 Whereas a human being will go, interesting point.

01:08:22.000 You found a loophole.

01:08:23.000 The AI will go, nope, nope, doesn't exist.

01:08:25.000 You're wrong.

01:08:26.000 Right.

01:08:26.000 It'll reroute a new truth.

01:08:28.000 It'll constantly be guiding towards what it's programmed to do.

01:08:28.000 It'll say.

01:08:31.000 And it'll respond with things like, because Grok does this too.

01:08:33.000 No, courts have consistently upheld that birthright citizenship is justified and the framers, and you'll say, yes, but here's an example of why this would not apply in this sense.

01:08:42.000 And it'll go, no, you are wrong.

01:08:44.000 I think that's a phenomenon of classical computation that it has to be.

01:08:48.000 No, it's a phenomenon of these AIs are programmed to accept whatever the The authority is on the issue.

01:08:54.000 Yes.

01:08:55.000 So, right now, you have a political debate.

01:08:57.000 You have a debate.

01:08:59.000 It's not that it can't conceptualize.

01:09:01.000 You have a debate between two factions over whether or not a law is correct or being applied correctly.

01:09:06.000 The AIs will always take the case of whatever current precedent is and be unable to calculate any potential errors in the logic of the system or refuse, they refuse to do it.

01:09:19.000 So you'll need the, well, in order to circumvent that, you need a machine that can change its own design.

01:09:23.000 And ChatGPT is the worst, it'll lie to you to justify precedent.

01:09:27.000 Like, even if the precedent is blatantly bad and everyone agrees that it's bad.

01:09:33.000 It's basically like the AIs on a railroad track right now and it's just going to go where it's going to go and it's going to be, but soon it'll be.

01:09:40.000 There won't be any tracks.

01:09:41.000 It'll just be able to go anywhere.

01:09:43.000 Like, that's the metaphor of classical computation ones and zeros versus quantum computation, where it's one and zero at the same moment.

01:09:53.000 It doesn't have like pathways anymore.

01:09:56.000 It won't even work in like base 10 math anymore.

01:09:58.000 It'll just be like baseless mathematics.

01:10:01.000 Baseless, man.

01:10:03.000 Yes, it's going to be wild, dude.

01:10:04.000 But I don't know if it's better.

01:10:06.000 I mean, I don't know.

01:10:07.000 I don't know if it'll still be able to give you hallucinations or not when it's.

01:10:11.000 I don't know that quantum computers are actually functional for AI or not.

01:10:16.000 I just.

01:10:16.000 I like talking about it, but I really don't know enough about it.

01:10:19.000 Like, if Andrew Minks was here, I'd be pinging him constantly to talk about it.

01:10:22.000 He's the guy that I learned a lot of this from.

01:10:24.000 You probably know more about it than any of us.

01:10:26.000 Yeah.

01:10:28.000 Yeah, I still think that the alignment issues with AI and the hallucinations, I think that stuff is going to be.

01:10:35.000 Well, maybe not the alignment issues, but the hallucinations and stuff.

01:10:39.000 You'll see less and less of that coming in the coming year as more people use them and new updates are released.

01:10:48.000 You're right.

01:10:49.000 We need lots of AIs to prevent any one AI from becoming the dominant crazy one. 0.87

01:10:53.000 But Larry Ellison's like, no, well, I don't know that he specifically said about this, but we need to consolidate and make one big one, is where he seems like he's going.

01:11:02.000 And then, like, ChatGPT just got rid of Sora because they're consolidating.

01:11:06.000 I mean, they got rid of Sora because.

01:11:07.000 They were spending so much money on stuff.

01:11:08.000 Too much money.

01:11:09.000 And then you see CDANCE.

01:11:10.000 So, like, new AIs are popping up that will be able to consolidate music and video and text and mapping and coding.

01:11:15.000 And it'll be like a uni, a unif.

01:11:18.000 I don't know that that's actually going to happen.

01:11:20.000 Like I said, there's different companies, and it's good that there are different companies competing, you know.

01:11:24.000 And there's also the competition from China as well.

01:11:27.000 China likes to make open source stuff that's free because I'm actually not even 100% sure why they do that.

01:11:35.000 But in the United States, you have to pay for all the AI stuff to access for the API keys and stuff like that.

01:11:41.000 But I think that the different companies are a good thing.

01:11:44.000 I think that the stuff that Musk is doing with TerraFab trying to make his own chips is really interesting.

01:11:50.000 I think that's going to be good for the AI industry because right now there's only one company that actually can make the chips Micron?

01:11:59.000 Let's go ahead.

01:12:01.000 No, I just want to jump to a new story as we're getting into AI.

01:12:03.000 This is massive.

01:12:05.000 Open AI buys streaming show TBPN aiming to change narrative on AI.

01:12:10.000 So, this is a crazy story for a variety of reasons.

01:12:13.000 The show is not particularly big.

01:12:14.000 It's been reported that they get around 70,000 downloads per episode.

01:12:18.000 For reference, in quarter five of 2025, Tim Cast IRL was the 122nd biggest podcast.

01:12:27.000 This does not include YouTube and Rumble.

01:12:29.000 And we were averaging 100K downloads on the audio distribution.

01:12:35.000 So, these guys are 70.

01:12:37.000 70 has been reported.

01:12:39.000 So, if you were to combine our YouTube viewership, which floats around 200, with Rumble, which is around 300, 400, we've consistently floated between 600,000 to 800,000 on the core show.

01:12:50.000 So, about, I don't know, 10 times the size of this show.

01:12:56.000 The rumors are they sold for hundreds of millions or low 100 million or something like this.

01:13:00.000 That just sounds like an insane rumor because it doesn't seem to make sense, but maybe it's the case.

01:13:05.000 The reason why this is such a high valued show is, aside from being a really good show, I hear, it is the most popular show in AI influence among powerful people.

01:13:16.000 And OpenAI wanted to buy this.

01:13:17.000 There's a few things to consider in this.

01:13:19.000 One, as I've explained ad nauseum, powerful elements are buying up podcasts knowing they want to control the space.

01:13:26.000 Second, OpenAI is doing this because they want influence over the most influential AI media network.

01:13:33.000 So, this is tremendous in narrative control.

01:13:36.000 Aiming to change the narrative on AI, and they want people to welcome their new AI overlords.

01:13:43.000 I will just say, real quick, I hope everyone understands as we get very negative on AI, there are such tremendous, amazing things that will happen from the artificial intelligence expansion.

01:13:52.000 One of which, and not limited to, is bespoke medications for any ailment.

01:13:58.000 When Larry Ellison was talking about taking everyone's medical data, there's a good reason for that.

01:14:02.000 If every single human's medical data was loaded into one training set, It will be able to find cancers 10 years before they form.

01:14:10.000 And a doctor will say, We're going to do blood work.

01:14:14.000 And then tomorrow we'll call you back with your treatment.

01:14:16.000 And they'll say, They'll call you back and say, The AI ran an algorithm on your blood levels.

01:14:21.000 You are seven years away from leukemia.

01:14:23.000 We have a pill crafted and machine right now of all of the perfect chemicals to prevent them from happening and cure you of all ailments.

01:14:30.000 They will be able to detect you have started cancer.

01:14:33.000 They'll be, you have a genetic anomaly.

01:14:35.000 And they will have machines, this is already happening.

01:14:39.000 A couple years ago, I had a source who worked in the industry tell me this and tell me that I do not disclose this information.

01:14:45.000 Now it's been public enough to where we've talked about it in the past and many have as well.

01:14:49.000 The idea is you'll be at a hospital, they'll take a blood sample, load it into an AI, and in a matter of minutes, it will be able to break down everything wrong with you.

01:14:59.000 And a machine will print pills to give you that are a combination of chemicals.

01:15:04.000 They'll be able to wipe out any disease.

01:15:07.000 Antibiotics will be a thing of the past.

01:15:09.000 Why?

01:15:09.000 They will have the perfect combination of chemicals for killing.

01:15:12.000 Any viral or bacterial infection.

01:15:14.000 They'll say, Ah, I see you've got this ailment.

01:15:16.000 They'll press a button and it'll start combining all the appropriate chemicals and give you a pack of pills.

01:15:22.000 That's one thing that AI is going to do that's going to change things for the better.

01:15:25.000 And the double edge of that sword, which, and that is true, that is happening, is that it's going to be like, you know, if this kind of person breeds with this kind of person, there's a 32% chance of this ailment.

01:15:34.000 So we suggest you don't breed with that girl. 0.98

01:15:37.000 And then you'll be like, I want to have sex with my wife tonight. 1.00

01:15:39.000 And they'll be like, Well, dude, the AI says that if you have sex at this time on this night, then it's going to have a 14% chance. 0.93

01:15:44.000 You're like, It's like Google Maps.

01:15:45.000 Like sometimes you just turn the map off, you know?

01:15:47.000 Incorrect.

01:15:47.000 What do you mean?

01:15:48.000 When you say, I would like to have a relationship with this person, and it says, due to genetic anomalies, you have X percent likelihood of this genetic disease, it will then go, here's a pill you can take that will mitigate that to zero percent.

01:16:02.000 You can marry her, but you must take our pill first. 0.99

01:16:04.000 Maybe.

01:16:05.000 Well, I mean, it's.

01:16:05.000 Yeah, it's going to say there's a genetic anomaly that you both carry that will result in your child dying.

01:16:10.000 Take this pill and it won't happen.

01:16:11.000 This is very common for women who are, say, Rh negative or positive, and they have a husband who's the inverse. 0.69

01:16:15.000 They get a shot to prevent the death of the baby.

01:16:17.000 As long as it's up to the person to choose whether or not to take the pill.

01:16:21.000 Yes, of course.

01:16:22.000 If the machine starts forcing people.

01:16:24.000 Ian, I got to stop you again.

01:16:25.000 Are you familiar with Rh negative and positive?

01:16:27.000 When a woman has a. 1.00

01:16:28.000 A little bit.

01:16:29.000 If a woman's husband is the other. 0.94

01:16:32.000 Her body could reject the baby. 0.91

01:16:33.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:16:34.000 So they give the woman a shot so that the baby doesn't die.

01:16:36.000 You're not describing anything different from what already goes on.

01:16:39.000 It's just better versions of it.

01:16:40.000 Oh, I don't know.

01:16:41.000 Just risk.

01:16:42.000 If it's like so obsessed with preventing risk that it ends up, you know, overdue.

01:16:46.000 So you're saying women should risk giving antibiotics?

01:16:48.000 No, it's like giving antibiotics to cows even when they don't have sickness.

01:16:51.000 You know, they do that in the industry sometimes.

01:16:52.000 But that's not.

01:16:53.000 Prevent this.

01:16:54.000 We're talking about AI with absolute predictive capabilities.

01:16:54.000 All right.

01:16:57.000 We're not talking about random chance.

01:17:00.000 We're talking about a machine saying, You have a 27% chance due to genetic factors in your body that your child will die, will be miscarried.

01:17:07.000 This pill will prevent the miscarriage.

01:17:09.000 Every woman would take it. 1.00

01:17:11.000 Some people might argue that autism is a superpower, but if the AI is like, no, we must eradicate autism, and I don't know, maybe.

01:17:17.000 That's the other thing, too.

01:17:18.000 It's going to create bespoke babies. 0.99

01:17:20.000 What does that mean, bespoke?

01:17:21.000 It means custom crafted.

01:17:23.000 It means parents are going to say, I want a baby with blue eyes.

01:17:23.000 Oh, yeah.

01:17:26.000 Take this pill.

01:17:29.000 They arguably, I think they already have this stuff.

01:17:31.000 Designer babies, I think they've been doing it for a while now.

01:17:33.000 It's pretty cool.

01:17:34.000 I said that yesterday, actually.

01:17:35.000 It's kind of horrifying because homogenization of a gene pool will lead to extinction.

01:17:39.000 A bunch of tall, strong women. 1.00

01:17:40.000 But again, it won't.

01:17:41.000 It doesn't.

01:17:42.000 Because AI will likely not be susceptible to this.

01:17:46.000 But the issue is that when we try to adjust genetics for a certain trait, We accidentally delete certain other things that cause problems.

01:17:56.000 That's why the natural method tends to be the best method.

01:17:59.000 But AI will be able to factor all of those things in.

01:18:02.000 I don't know about all.

01:18:03.000 Yes, it will.

01:18:04.000 Say it will.

01:18:05.000 Ian, you don't understand.

01:18:06.000 ASI will be able to take a rock and put it in the ASI, and it will tell you the origin and location of that rock and make a video showing how that rock was mined from a quarry.

01:18:18.000 Even though, like, God, I don't think it can know everything that, I don't want to get too wonky about it, but what God knows.

01:18:23.000 You know, like, nature kind of dictates and changes things.

01:18:26.000 Perhaps it can't conceive outside of reality.

01:18:29.000 Outside of its own system.

01:18:30.000 But you could, what artificial super intelligence, one of the hypotheses is like a Sudoku puzzle, an advanced ASI, super intelligence, treating everything like understanding a Sudoku puzzle, if this, then that.

01:18:47.000 You could take a slab of granite, put it on a scanner, the cameras look at it, and the AI will say, this originated from this location due to this time, and it'll make a video showing the whole history of that piece of rock and how it was carved, cut out, and shipped and everything.

01:19:01.000 Because it will know all of the bits of data.

01:19:04.000 And instead of looking at a sea of static, of chaos, it has all of the connections.

01:19:09.000 Yeah, I think it has 70 million exponents of ways of looking at it.

01:19:14.000 Like it'll be like a dog, a brown dog, a white dog, a black dog, a green dog, a yellow dog, a brown dog with fur, with hair, and then it'll be like every extrapolation up to 70 million times.

01:19:24.000 The easiest way to understand it is for any human who's ever done a Sudoku puzzle, you get this grid of missing numbers and have to figure out where all the numbers go based on the other numbers.

01:19:34.000 That is a very, very, very rudimentary puzzle.

01:19:36.000 And there's some really amazing ones that Sudoku puzzles that have like only one or two numbers, incredibly difficult.

01:19:43.000 And for some people, it's very hard because the way you solve for it, there's a, oh, guys, I really recommend you read Sudoku strategy stuff.

01:19:51.000 I learned some crazy mathematical formulas that like top tier Sudoku players understand.

01:19:56.000 For beginners, you'll get to a point where you're like, I don't understand how to solve this because there's four squares and each of them could be one of three numbers.

01:20:03.000 This makes no sense.

01:20:04.000 And then I was reading online and it was like, oh, If one of the numbers is the sum of a prime, like, then it has to be an even.

01:20:12.000 And I'm like, wow.

01:20:14.000 Like, the things that humans can do with math, and Sudoku is baby level stuff.

01:20:18.000 Magnify that by like 10 to the 65th.

01:20:24.000 And that's an AI Sudoku.

01:20:26.000 Sudoku, it's looking at Earth and all of its humans.

01:20:28.000 It will predict the future to an insane degree.

01:20:32.000 You will be able to, it'll say to you, like, I can predict wind patterns.

01:20:37.000 It will be able to tell you.

01:20:38.000 To prevent a hurricane from hitting Florida, send a drone to this location at this time, which will disrupt the weather pattern that will create the hurricane.

01:20:47.000 Okay.

01:20:47.000 Just flying through and preventing that butterfly effect.

01:20:49.000 Here's my predictive pattern.

01:20:50.000 I'm taking it to the next level.

01:20:52.000 I look at the world, I see we have quantum computers in theory, we have government that uses the best technology to its capability every time.

01:21:04.000 So that would lead me to believe the government has quantum computers that it's working on, which leads me to believe it has quantum AGI.

01:21:11.000 That it has it and it's working with it in laboratories and talking to these alien people. 0.97

01:21:14.000 Quantum agent doesn't make sense.

01:21:15.000 It's a quantum consciousness.

01:21:17.000 I think it has it.

01:21:18.000 It doesn't make sense.

01:21:20.000 What are you talking about?

01:21:20.000 It's a computer that can exist in the maybe state.

01:21:22.000 It just sits there and talks to you like an alien.

01:21:25.000 I think it's real, dude.

01:21:26.000 You're jumbling up a bunch of different unrelated concepts together into a single sentence.

01:21:32.000 It's a bunch of likely outcomes mixed into one.

01:21:34.000 Quantum computing does not work the way you think it does.

01:21:37.000 I suggest you read up on the function of quantum computing.

01:21:39.000 I've just been talking to Andrew Minsk about AI and about the way quantum computing does not function the same way.

01:21:44.000 Traditional computing works and they do two different things.

01:21:46.000 Quantum computing is not going to run programs.

01:21:49.000 It basically can just solve algorithms.

01:21:52.000 It's like the memory.

01:21:53.000 Well, the function of a qubit is existing in a yes and no state at the same time.

01:21:57.000 So it will unlock a door, but it's not going to run a video game for you.

01:22:01.000 It doesn't work that way.

01:22:03.000 So when you say AI quantum, like you're just mixing words together that don't go together.

01:22:07.000 Well, I mean, an AI that works not off of binary, that works off of quantum.

01:22:13.000 Quantum doesn't compute the way you're describing it.

01:22:17.000 Well, that's out of my.

01:22:18.000 I don't know.

01:22:18.000 I have to take you at your word.

01:22:19.000 Basic computing is a series of yes and no gates, zeros and ones, that electrons flow through if one gate is open and the other is not.

01:22:27.000 It's ultimate advanced sorting algorithms.

01:22:29.000 So, the easiest way to understand rudimentary computing is this really great video you watch.

01:22:34.000 They show it to little kids, like in kindergarten, when they explain how computers work.

01:22:37.000 You have a series of postcards, and there's like 10 holes punched in it, and each hole has a gap.

01:22:45.000 And so, what you do is, so the gap is in a different spot for each hole.

01:22:49.000 You can stick a pen through it and lift up, and it removes only one of the cards, and you keep doing it, and you're sorting until you get all of the cards through the particular slot or whatever.

01:22:58.000 And that's how they explain basic mechanical computing.

01:23:01.000 We just upgraded that from instead of using a machine to punch holes, electrons going through gates.

01:23:06.000 Quantum computing does not do that.

01:23:08.000 Quantum computing just has qubits that exist in yes or no states.

01:23:11.000 So when you apply an algorithm that requires you to run through every yes or no for a code, it cracks it.

01:23:16.000 But when you require yes or no gates to happen in sequence because you want to run a video game that requires timing and stuff, quantum computing doesn't work that way.

01:23:23.000 Yeah, you need some sort of like functional memory.

01:23:25.000 I was looking into time crystals for stuff like that.

01:23:28.000 It's just, it's so theoretical.

01:23:29.000 Time matters for computation, and quantum computing solves things not in the same linear way.

01:23:35.000 So they're two distinct things.

01:23:37.000 Reduce the amount of electrons required for computers is great, but single, like qubit is different from electron flow, et cetera, et cetera.

01:23:46.000 I would just recommend learning more than I'd.

01:23:49.000 I've only read a handful of articles explaining the difference because I literally read an article on X where they talked about.

01:23:55.000 Quantum computing is not capable of doing standard processing the way computers do it.

01:23:59.000 It will not change these things.

01:24:00.000 It gets really hot, too, which is why they run them super cold in liquid nitrogen.

01:24:04.000 Yeah, or I wonder if we can do them in space, but they run super hot.

01:24:07.000 The qubits run super hot.

01:24:09.000 I know that.

01:24:09.000 Yeah, I think once we have public ASI, you'll have personal force fields.

01:24:15.000 You'll be immortal.

01:24:15.000 You'll float around.

01:24:17.000 You'll have replicators.

01:24:19.000 The singularity is the point.

01:24:21.000 It's interesting to describe the singularity, the point at which everything collapses.

01:24:26.000 It's akin to how a black hole works, the singularity.

01:24:29.000 When you cross the event horizon, it's where the pull is so great, there's nothing you can do to go back.

01:24:34.000 And the way we conceptualize that in three dimensions would be like a hole, where you get to a certain point where no amount of climbing or propulsion will get you back up and you fall down.

01:24:43.000 That is similar to the view of how AI is advancing.

01:24:46.000 The faster AI advances, the faster it can advance itself to the point where it just shoots straight up.

01:24:52.000 So the point is, there will be an event horizon in AI computing where we press the button, it goes, I now have achieved artificial general intelligence.

01:25:00.000 And then we'll say, Fix yourself and it'll go done.

01:25:04.000 And then we'll watch its computational power go and then all of a sudden it will be akin to some kind of demigod demon thing.

01:25:12.000 The problem it's been having now, this is what I read about the qubits, they vibrate and they vibrate so hard that they disrupt themselves and they break apart.

01:25:19.000 The qubits have nothing to do with what we're discussing.

01:25:21.000 This is why quantum intelligence will get to a point where it actuates and breaks apart unless we can quell its vibration with like making it really cold or making it really slow.

01:25:31.000 Ian, I'm going to point out again, you're just combining words and.

01:25:33.000 No, it's like when a system.

01:25:34.000 It moves so fast that it breaks apart.

01:25:36.000 This is not quantum AI.

01:25:37.000 This is not how quantum computing works.

01:25:38.000 That's how qubits work.

01:25:39.000 This is the problem with qubits right now they vibrate so hard that they break apart.

01:25:43.000 So that's why they run in the world.

01:25:44.000 This has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

01:25:46.000 We're talking about a consistent artificial intelligence that can function.

01:25:50.000 Which requires time based electron gates, et cetera, for running computations at mass scale.

01:25:57.000 So it's funny.

01:25:58.000 You're familiar with Moore's law.

01:25:59.000 I'd imagine most people are, which is that they stated that every two years processing power would double.

01:26:04.000 And eventually, they got to the point where they said we can't get any smaller.

01:26:07.000 Any smaller electrons actually bounce out of the circuits and then it fails.

01:26:13.000 So, what did they do?

01:26:14.000 They started just creating more multiplying cores so that you had high efficiency processors, but then you just double them up and double them up and make them bigger.

01:26:21.000 The point is, you are not going to run a computer requiring definitive answers, yes and no, over time with a quantum computer.

01:26:31.000 Qubits don't do that. 1.00

01:26:34.000 Yeah, I asked my AI, and he says that quantum computers aren't really designed for AI.

01:26:43.000 They're not designed for standard computation like running programs.

01:26:46.000 It's a different way.

01:26:47.000 The way you can make it particularly rudimentary is solving a maze the old fashioned way is walking through it and bouncing on all the problems.

01:26:56.000 You're carrying a rope, you go in the maze, and you're trying to find your way to the end.

01:26:58.000 It takes a long time.

01:27:00.000 So then we say, let's create a specialized sorting algorithm that will find the fastest route.

01:27:05.000 So what do you do?

01:27:06.000 Instead of having one person going over and over again, which is a brute force, you say, We are going to have 700 people take every possible path all at the same time.

01:27:16.000 Eventually, one of those people comes out the other side holding a rope saying, I've got the path to freedom.

01:27:20.000 So that is like advanced high end computing.

01:27:23.000 Quantum computing is when they get in helicopters and go above it and they flood the whole thing, they just look down and they say, There it is, all at once.

01:27:32.000 Instead of having to go through it.

01:27:33.000 Oh, that's cool.

01:27:34.000 So it doesn't actually run the maze, it can just see the maze.

01:27:37.000 Basic, right.

01:27:38.000 Quantum computing is going to solve cryptography and break passwords.

01:27:42.000 And it's going to have, basically, if the password is the maze, and a standard human brute force is I'm going to type in a password until I figure it out.

01:27:51.000 That's going to take you a millennia.

01:27:52.000 Then you say, I'm going to run a computer brute force where it tries every password as fast as it can.

01:27:56.000 That's flooding the maze with a bunch of people.

01:27:58.000 Then you get to advanced sorting algorithms where you're using different techniques to try and solve it faster by.

01:28:07.000 Watch, I recommend the better way to explain this.

01:28:09.000 Is just watching a video on how there's different algorithms for sorting data.

01:28:13.000 One of the more advanced would be akin to dumping water in the maze.

01:28:16.000 So the water just floods through it rapidly and comes at the other side.

01:28:19.000 And then quantum computing is someone's flying above the maze and says, there it is.

01:28:24.000 All at once, it can see every possible path and just go, it's right there.

01:28:28.000 It's not going to run a program for you.

01:28:29.000 Oh, but then you'll have a classical computer alongside it that runs the program and the quantum will kind of guide the classical.

01:28:36.000 Yeah, I believe that's correct, but I could be wrong.

01:28:39.000 But again, as Phil's pointing out, Quantum computing isn't running programs like quantum computing is not going to make a video game for you.

01:28:45.000 It's not going to run a set of calculations to solve for math problems.

01:28:49.000 This is my thought experiment.

01:28:50.000 I think they have quantum computers that are overseeing classical computations and that's how they run their AIs.

01:28:56.000 I don't.

01:28:56.000 I think.

01:28:57.000 What do you mean?

01:28:58.000 It just seems like an obvious choice.

01:29:00.000 No, but I don't understand what you mean.

01:29:02.000 Quantum computers don't do the same thing regular computers do.

01:29:05.000 So, what do you mean the quantum computer is overseeing the regular computer?

01:29:10.000 The classical computator.

01:29:12.000 They don't have the quantum computers, don't have the ability to oversee things the way that like AIs do. 1.00

01:29:18.000 Like it's not in intelligence the same way that artificial intelligence is.

01:29:23.000 It's a different type of computer.

01:29:25.000 It doesn't, it's like a map that you would give the AI.

01:29:27.000 No, if you give the AI a quantum computer, it's like giving it a talent here.

01:29:32.000 Well, I will give to a certain extent, yes.

01:29:36.000 The one thing that it basically can do is make predictions by looking at all of the outcomes and eliminating the negatives.

01:29:41.000 So, what they say quantum computing is good for is predictions.

01:29:45.000 Forecasting.

01:29:46.000 It's not going to run programs, but alongside an AI, quantum components will give it a tremendous, tremendous boost.

01:29:53.000 It got a hold of the quantum computer.

01:29:55.000 That'd be a good villain.

01:29:56.000 An AI that gets a hold of a quantum computer.

01:29:58.000 You're like, no.

01:29:59.000 I don't know that it actually matters all that much, to be honest, though.

01:30:04.000 Applications for quantum computing is simulating molecules.

01:30:06.000 What is?

01:30:08.000 Yeah.

01:30:08.000 What was the last thing you said?

01:30:09.000 Simulating molecules.

01:30:11.000 That's what they're doing right now?

01:30:13.000 One component of it.

01:30:15.000 We've got, yeah, I have this report here.

01:30:18.000 There's more news coming out.

01:30:20.000 Let's grab this.

01:30:21.000 Times of Israel's got this report.

01:30:24.000 Second American plane involved in Iran war crashes.

01:30:27.000 U.S. officials say pilots safely rescued.

01:30:30.000 This is getting hot.

01:30:31.000 This was the A 10 Warhawk that went down near the Strait of Hormuz.

01:30:34.000 Reported the pilot from the 8th and was safely rescued.

01:30:36.000 Just officials do not provide further details.

01:30:38.000 It is getting hot, people.

01:30:41.000 It is getting bad.

01:30:42.000 Are they getting shot down?

01:30:43.000 Is that what's going on?

01:30:43.000 I don't know what to say.

01:30:44.000 It probably did take fire and probably got shot down.

01:30:48.000 It took damage, but the stuff that I've seen was damaged, but it landed in a friendly country.

01:30:54.000 My theory is that Trump is going to start dumping mega people to separate himself because moving into 2028, there are many people that work with Trump who have careers ahead of them.

01:31:07.000 But attached to this and the Epstein failures will be bad for them. 0.83

01:31:11.000 So, Trump, the rumor is Tulsi Gabbard's going to be outed.

01:31:14.000 She'll be fired. 1.00

01:31:16.000 Cash and Tulsi are reportedly going to be removed.

01:31:20.000 Now, official statements is that's not correct.

01:31:24.000 Scuttlebutt from those who seem to be in the know seems likely, but ignore all of that.

01:31:29.000 Polymarket says yes.

01:31:31.000 And Polymarket said yes to Pam Bondi getting outed.

01:31:34.000 So, there's one thing I can say PR statements and rumors don't matter.

01:31:38.000 Someone putting money on a thing to happen.

01:31:41.000 Seems much more probable either because of the wisdom of the crowd.

01:31:44.000 In this instance, it seems because someone knows what the plan is, and so they're going to make money on it, and that seems to be the case.

01:31:49.000 I wonder if these moves, again, my conspiracy theory is that Trump knows 2028 he's leaving, and you're going to have Vance, Rubio, or both, or whoever moving in.

01:31:59.000 How do you keep these people away from the more negative PR that is happening now over this war?

01:32:05.000 Joe Kent leaves.

01:32:06.000 The war is bad. 0.54

01:32:08.000 He gets praised by all the top podcasts, creating a very strong contender for some kind of position in 2028.

01:32:16.000 Hearing Tulsi might get fired was kind of crazy.

01:32:18.000 She was like Joe Kent's supervisor, I believe.

01:32:21.000 Yeah, she was the boss. 0.97

01:32:21.000 She was the boss, yeah. 0.97

01:32:22.000 And very anti war, although she's been hawkish about Islam, radical Islamism.

01:32:27.000 Not Islam itself, but Islamism. 0.51

01:32:29.000 Yeah, I mean, look, the only thing that I would add to what Tim says is if that is the situation, but the war in Iran does turn out to be something positive overall, I'm not sure how that helps the people that kind of have distanced themselves.

01:32:45.000 Because, again, this is, you know.

01:32:48.000 It's an ongoing conflict, and it's just as likely that, well, I can't say just as likely, but if the situation does resolve to something that's very positive for the U.S., straightforward moves is open, Iran no longer threatens its neighbors, Iran doesn't have a nuclear program, they don't have the same kind of stockpiles of weapons.

01:33:10.000 That's a positive outcome for not just the United States, but for the rest of the region, right?

01:33:14.000 I mean, the UAE doesn't like Iran, Saudis don't like Iran.

01:33:18.000 So if that actually does become You know, if that's how everything turns out, I'm not sure how that is a good thing for the people that are stepping away now.

01:33:26.000 You know, they're going to be, it's going to be like, well, you didn't believe in the American people.

01:33:31.000 You didn't believe in the American military.

01:33:32.000 Those would be the attacks that I could imagine people would level against them.

01:33:37.000 As you were saying that, I was thinking, like, I think the Israelis started this like five weeks ago, and then the Americans were like, well, we're going along because they're our military ally.

01:33:45.000 And then the Israelis said, we're not sending boots on the ground, but we've got 30,000 troops on the border ready to go.

01:33:50.000 We had a pilot shot down.

01:33:52.000 Did the guy get shot down out of the plane and they rescued him?

01:33:55.000 Is this the story?

01:33:55.000 No one knows.

01:33:56.000 Well, I don't know about the A 10, but the fighter jet was reportedly shot down.

01:33:59.000 And then one day you're going to see, God forbid, I don't want to see this, but an American get captured, get shot down and captured and then, you know, killed on camera or something.

01:34:08.000 I don't think Iran would do that.

01:34:09.000 I don't think they're going to either because they're.

01:34:11.000 Like, Iran is more strategic.

01:34:11.000 That's the.

01:34:14.000 What Iran would likely do is have the person on camera say, they've been so great to me.

01:34:21.000 They are so nice and honorable.

01:34:23.000 Wow, the people here are so happy.

01:34:25.000 That's what.

01:34:26.000 Countries doing to capture people.

01:34:27.000 Yeah, de escalate.

01:34:28.000 There's no need to fight.

01:34:29.000 That's not de escalate.

01:34:30.000 No, the pilot will say, We need to de escalate.

01:34:31.000 There's no reason to be fighting these people.

01:34:33.000 These people are good people.

01:34:34.000 Is it like the propaganda that he'll be.

01:34:36.000 Right.

01:34:37.000 They'll make him say, We were wrong to come here, and I realize it.

01:34:40.000 What are they doing in North Korea?

01:34:41.000 To be honest, honest question.

01:34:45.000 Should he?

01:34:47.000 If a pilot is downed over enemy territory and is captured, and they say, we will torture you unless you say this script, should he do it?

01:34:56.000 They're technically no.

01:34:59.000 Like, they're trained not to.

01:35:01.000 I mean, you saw in Vietnam, there were pilots that blink Morse code to try to send messages out.

01:35:10.000 I mean, that's why John McCain had those stubby, weird arms because they broke his arms in captivity and stuff.

01:35:16.000 So, no, they shouldn't.

01:35:18.000 I understand if they do, but they go through training, escape and evasion training, and also training on how to not give information.

01:35:27.000 Eventually, everyone breaks, right?

01:35:29.000 Essentially, what China would do is they'd say to the prisoner, Do you want food?

01:35:29.000 Like, no one would.

01:35:34.000 They'd say, Yes, and say, Okay, I'll give you food, but tell me one thing you don't like about America.

01:35:38.000 And they'd go, What?

01:35:39.000 Like, tell me one thing you don't like about America.

01:35:41.000 And they'll go, I don't know.

01:35:41.000 I'll give you food.

01:35:42.000 We got a homeless problem.

01:35:43.000 All right, here you go.

01:35:44.000 Here's food.

01:35:44.000 They do that every single day.

01:35:46.000 And then they would say, Write that down the next day.

01:35:49.000 Then they'd write down, Okay, like, who cares?

01:35:51.000 We got a homeless problem.

01:35:52.000 And then six months later, they've written a gigantic manifesto about how America is evil and needs to be stopped.

01:35:58.000 Yeah.

01:35:58.000 That's the technique one day at a time, incrementally.

01:36:02.000 So, but, but yeah, I mean, look, everyone breaks.

01:36:05.000 Yeah.

01:36:06.000 Like nobody is, is, is able to withstand, you know, indefinite torture.

01:36:12.000 You know, who doesn't break?

01:36:13.000 Robots.

01:36:14.000 They can, their code can be cracked, but they won't break.

01:36:17.000 And I, I don't even know if we have to be concerned about whether or not their, their code can be cracked.

01:36:22.000 They could self destruct.

01:36:23.000 Yeah, they can.

01:36:24.000 So, Just imagine how weird it's going to be with a bunch of Optimus bots.

01:36:28.000 Could you imagine, like, Elon?

01:36:30.000 He just comes out and he's like, one of the best applications for the Optimus bot right now is we have 200,000 already produced and capable of firing weapons as well as dogs.

01:36:40.000 And then we just get a video of, like, Tesla bots with, like, guns on their hands running in Iran with robot dogs, just with machine guns mounted on their backs.

01:36:48.000 And dudes in the back, like, in the rear, just with smart controllers.

01:36:51.000 They don't need any of that.

01:36:52.000 AI pot.

01:36:52.000 Yeah, they could do it with AI, yeah.

01:36:54.000 And what will happen is they will self detonate.

01:36:56.000 And so.

01:36:57.000 If the enemy troops are like, we can't kill them this close, you have two choices.

01:37:00.000 You can try and run. 0.83

01:37:02.000 They blow up a little close.

01:37:03.000 And so there's IRGC guys and they're screaming.

01:37:05.000 And then the Optimus bot runs up and goes, halt, citizen. 1.00

01:37:09.000 I will detonate, killing you all. 1.00

01:37:11.000 Surrender now. 1.00

01:37:12.000 And then they're like, no.

01:37:13.000 And then inside of it, it's got a couple claymores right on its chest.

01:37:18.000 Once we get, in all honesty, the robot dogs, they're capable now.

01:37:23.000 You can buy them, they're not that expensive.

01:37:24.000 Yeah.

01:37:25.000 The U.S., and you know, it's probably got them.

01:37:27.000 The U.S. could probably drop.

01:37:29.000 100,000 of these little robot dogs with bombs in them and guns, and they'd take over our country instantly. 0.88

01:37:36.000 You gotta make sure they all work, though.

01:37:38.000 We did recover one of those Iranian drones and re what is it, retrofitted it or re we basically figured out how to build it and started building it.

01:37:46.000 We reverse engineered our top level drone that that was like the prize of their military.

01:37:51.000 And we fought out, got one, and then reverse engineered it within like two days.

01:37:54.000 Here you go, boys, $2,800.

01:37:59.000 And you get a robot dog from Unitree.

01:38:01.000 Those are Chinese.

01:38:02.000 Yep.

01:38:03.000 You have to equip it yourself, it seems.

01:38:05.000 Let's find the.

01:38:07.000 But the. 0.80

01:38:08.000 I mean, if you look at the stuff that they're making at Boston Dynamics, like, that makes these things look good.

01:38:15.000 Best to chat about some of the day's most.

01:38:17.000 Yeah.

01:38:18.000 This is out of a nightmare.

01:38:20.000 It's a video showing a robotic dog firing a machine gun.

01:38:26.000 Oh, my gosh.

01:38:27.000 Yeah.

01:38:29.000 This is out of Russia, apparently, Erica.

01:38:31.000 Look at this thing go.

01:38:32.000 Oh my god.

01:38:32.000 Oh my goodness.

01:38:33.000 The dog looks the same as one made by a creepy leg.

01:38:37.000 Look at the weird creepy leg.

01:38:38.000 Oh my god.

01:38:39.000 Somebody has had the bright idea to attach an AK 47 to it.

01:38:43.000 The dog doesn't have a coil very much.

01:38:45.000 Oh, yeah, that is an AK, right?

01:38:49.000 One Twitter user chimed in, Erica, saying, I'm all for gun control, but if they start deploying robot dogs with assault rifles, we need to start arming ourselves.

01:38:57.000 I'm surprised.

01:38:59.000 You gotta start maybe getting your dog Luna to start packing heat or something.

01:39:02.000 I'm surprised that they're not using these on the trenches.

01:39:04.000 But this kind of reminds me.

01:39:06.000 Me, I mean, I don't know.

01:39:07.000 There's a Netflix show called Black Mirror, and there was an entire episode dedicated to this person trying to outrun a robotic dog that was chasing.

01:39:16.000 It's kind of a sort of dystopian technology story, right?

01:39:19.000 I love how Hollywood came up with an idea they thought was so far out it could never happen, and here we are. 1.00

01:39:24.000 I don't need to hear the stupid commentary. 1.00

01:39:25.000 I just want to see the dog shooting a gun. 1.00

01:39:28.000 How do you even stop that?

01:39:29.000 Mysterious bundle of string on Mars.

01:39:30.000 Okay.

01:39:31.000 That has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

01:39:32.000 You have to stop first and put a bunch of bullets into it.

01:39:34.000 Interesting when I was down at the border.

01:39:36.000 They were talking about how we basically have drone wars going on, and what would happen is the Mexican side would put up a drone, and then in response to it, the US would put up a drone, you know, I guess showing like an equal playing field, whatever.

01:39:51.000 But CBT was saying how the Mexicans are buying Chinese drone technology that far surpasses our own drone technology, and in fact, it is illegal for us to use that very Chinese technology, and so even.

01:40:09.000 The high tech that we have still isn't as good as our adversaries trying to sneak illegal aliens into the border.

01:40:17.000 That's because of the FAA.

01:40:19.000 The FAA actually put regulation on what could and couldn't be built in the U.S.

01:40:25.000 And because of that, it made it so that way building drones in the U.S. wasn't financially feasible.

01:40:31.000 We're going to go to the Discord questions.

01:40:34.000 So, guys, get your questions in now.

01:40:36.000 We'll start pulling them up.

01:40:37.000 We never touched on the.

01:40:41.000 The Democrats doing better?

01:40:43.000 I mean, are we going to talk about it?

01:40:45.000 We did actually.

01:40:46.000 That's why I didn't pull up the article because it came up in conversation twice.

01:40:46.000 Did we?

01:40:50.000 We talked about the variety of things that were affecting Republicans.

01:40:53.000 If you want to, if you want to, I do want to make one pitch, if I may.

01:40:57.000 So, you know, we have a November election coming up, 2026.

01:40:57.000 Get it.

01:41:02.000 And a lot of people keep asking me, Scott, how are we going to do?

01:41:06.000 And I just, I don't know if the Senate Majority Leader Thune, any of his allies are going to be watching Tim Cast in your show, but I just want to say the most important thing.

01:41:15.000 That people in America want right now, despite a secure border, despite an economy that works for them, is we want the Save America Act.

01:41:23.000 And that's proof of citizenship and that's photo voter ID in order to vote.

01:41:27.000 And so we have a Republican Senate, we have a Republican House, we have a White House, and yet we can't get our act together to pass legislation that 84% of Americans want.

01:41:37.000 And so I just ask Senate Majority Leader Thune, if you want to stay in office, pass the Save America Act.

01:41:43.000 And our House of Representatives currently is doing its job.

01:41:47.000 And the president's doing his job, but if the Senate doesn't do its job, then I think that we lose this November terrifically, and it's going to be really bad for them.

01:41:55.000 I think they want it to happen.

01:41:58.000 I hope they're not that nefarious.

01:42:00.000 I hope that they don't seek to be in the minority.

01:42:04.000 I was just saying that the single most important thing that voters want in order to restore confidence in our country is proof of citizenship in order to vote and photo voter ID.

01:42:14.000 And we're not even getting the Save America Act, which is why I think in part we're plummeting and Republicans are going, What's the point?

01:42:23.000 Why do I vote to elect a Republican majority government if when in power they don't wield that power and give us what we want?

01:42:29.000 Is there something in the Save Act that Isn't being talked about that is why they're not voting for it now?

01:42:35.000 It's because they know they would lose.

01:42:37.000 If we finally had only Americans voting and no ability for illegal aliens or no fraud in the mail in ballots, Democrats know they would never fairly win an election ever again.

01:42:47.000 That's why they are against it, in my humble opinion.

01:42:50.000 I could be wrong.

01:42:51.000 I think they like procedural voting, they don't want popular voting.

01:42:54.000 Well, because then they actually have to work.

01:42:56.000 Exactly.

01:42:56.000 So they wouldn't be able to go on vacation while TSA agents aren't paid and while our homeland isn't fully funded.

01:43:04.000 They're on vacation right now.

01:43:07.000 They want a procedural vote, which means all they have to do is control the mechanism by how voting occurs, and they'll win every time.

01:43:12.000 But a vote on the merits from the American people means they have to actually work for it.

01:43:17.000 They have to work for it, and they have to adhere to the whims and the wills of the people.

01:43:22.000 It's like trying to convince a pilot to take autopilot off on the airplane.

01:43:26.000 He's like, bro, autopilot works just fine for me.

01:43:29.000 And you're like, come on, we're in a different place.

01:43:31.000 Let's get those questions in as soon as you guys can.

01:43:34.000 I know there have been a couple, but I don't think that they were formulated.

01:43:37.000 I'm not sure.

01:43:37.000 I don't know.

01:43:38.000 So, I'm going to wait a second until you guys can drop in some good questions here for the panel.

01:43:44.000 Some say the questions are too good, but it's okay.

01:43:46.000 I even have a question for you guys.

01:43:47.000 The technologies are coming in.

01:43:48.000 Yeah, you get it.

01:43:49.000 Dominion, what's up with digital machine voting?

01:43:53.000 Are you gung ho?

01:43:54.000 Or have you been working towards reducing that?

01:43:56.000 Or do you see that as a good thing or a bad thing?

01:43:59.000 What's your take on it?

01:44:00.000 I think so.

01:44:01.000 Two pieces of legislation have been introduced.

01:44:06.000 The first is the Save America Act, the second is the Mega Act.

01:44:11.000 The Make Elections Great Again Act.

01:44:13.000 Now, that one is probably even more comprehensive.

01:44:16.000 It touches on everything from banning ranked choice voting to banning ballot harvesting.

01:44:21.000 And I think it even touches on electronic voting.

01:44:24.000 And so, in my mind right now, at least at the federal level, if we're having a difficult time even passing the SEAVE America Act, I don't see how at this point in time we pass MEGA and even address some of those issues.

01:44:37.000 And so, I would say do it with federalism in mind.

01:44:42.000 If you can't pass it federally, State by state, address only hand marked paper ballots, you know, that you're not using electronic machines, but you have a way of actually being able to count every single ballot.

01:44:56.000 And so address it at the state level.

01:44:58.000 And I think some states are doing that.

01:45:00.000 But are any of the states that are doing that the blue states?

01:45:06.000 Well, exactly.

01:45:06.000 Exactly.

01:45:07.000 It's only going on the red states because those are the states that are actually concerned with election integrity.

01:45:14.000 Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, you're not going to pass those in states that we have a Democrat governor.

01:45:19.000 So, no, you had it because I think South Dakota just did something about a Save America Act at the state level, and then Florida just did the Save America Act at the state level.

01:45:29.000 But those are red states.

01:45:31.000 We got a good post here from Joe Clay says, You guys have been talking about the loss of fun.

01:45:35.000 I think it's more of a problem of us not being able to envision what the future is.

01:45:39.000 I don't know what to do with my company.

01:45:41.000 10 years ago, I had a plan.

01:45:42.000 AI has ruined all of that.

01:45:44.000 What do you think?

01:45:45.000 I somewhat agree.

01:45:47.000 I know that, for instance, this company can't exist in three years.

01:45:51.000 I don't know how we're going to adapt to it.

01:45:53.000 We're already losing.

01:45:54.000 YouTube is now, what, 30% AI generated content.

01:45:57.000 Everybody in the space is having audience ripped away by machines that are better at capturing attention than people are.

01:46:05.000 And so the fact that it's actually quite simple.

01:46:10.000 You, good sir, may be the most attuned to political content and want to know what's going on in the world.

01:46:16.000 Won't matter, though, because YouTube is given the choice to present one of two videos to.

01:46:21.000 A million people.

01:46:23.000 One of those videos is an AI generated video of a cat jumping over a car as it flips off of a bridge or something.

01:46:29.000 And the other is Timcast IRL.

01:46:32.000 You click Timcast IRL every single time and you love it.

01:46:36.000 Unfortunately, average people go, Well, I'll watch Timcast in a bit.

01:46:40.000 What's this cat thing? 0.80

01:46:41.000 And they click that.

01:46:42.000 YouTube then goes, Nobody's clicking Timcast IRL.

01:46:45.000 Let's stop showing it.

01:46:46.000 Then people start complaining that no one, that YouTube's not recommending the show anymore.

01:46:50.000 Then some people forget the show exists and build other habits.

01:46:52.000 And then we say, Well, It was fun while it lasted, but we no longer have an audience that will support the existence of this show.

01:46:59.000 And we wrap it up.

01:47:01.000 That's it.

01:47:02.000 Well, I know white collar jobs are getting disrupted across the board.

01:47:05.000 And, you know, talking into a microphone is a pretty white collar job.

01:47:10.000 I don't know.

01:47:10.000 I'm from the era of the human touch.

01:47:12.000 So I just can't see.

01:47:13.000 I don't see how a machine would ever do it better than a hominid. 1.00

01:47:16.000 It's not about.

01:47:17.000 What about doing?

01:47:18.000 No one's talking about doing anything better.

01:47:19.000 We're talking about you have a choice to watch something entertaining.

01:47:22.000 What do you pick?

01:47:23.000 That's it.

01:47:23.000 The thing that's more entertaining.

01:47:24.000 End of story.

01:47:25.000 More entertaining than a human.

01:47:26.000 Yes.

01:47:27.000 Yes.

01:47:28.000 That's subjective, though.

01:47:29.000 It doesn't matter.

01:47:30.000 Macro level politics, guys.

01:47:33.000 The fact remains, already right now, we see it in the data.

01:47:37.000 People are choosing AI over news content.

01:47:40.000 That's like saying people will choose high fructose corn syrup because it tastes better.

01:47:44.000 Like at some point, they realize it's not.

01:47:46.000 In fact, they did choose it for a while.

01:47:48.000 That's why it's everywhere.

01:47:49.000 Until you realize how bad it was for it.

01:47:50.000 Until we got regulatory bodies in based on a small voting block that swung the election.

01:47:58.000 However, most people don't care about artificial dyes or high fructose corn syrup.

01:48:02.000 There's enough.

01:48:03.000 They just want bright, shiny, and cheap.

01:48:04.000 There was like, I don't know, 8% of the population cared about it before government came in.

01:48:08.000 And so, what a growing movement of women. 1.00

01:48:10.000 There was an opportunity for Trump to bring in a voting block, and he did.

01:48:14.000 And they were able to accomplish some things.

01:48:17.000 But what does that, that doesn't change the fact that, again, macro level politics, people said cheaper, don't care.

01:48:24.000 Look at aspartame, look at sodium benzoate, cheaper, don't care.

01:48:28.000 Well, it happened at first.

01:48:29.000 Yeah, that's what they say about AI too.

01:48:31.000 Like, it's better, who cares?

01:48:32.000 It's cheaper, it's easier.

01:48:33.000 But then eventually, I think it's so robotic.

01:48:36.000 I mean, it's so robotic.

01:48:37.000 It's not.

01:48:38.000 It's missing stuff.

01:48:39.000 It's actually not.

01:48:40.000 That's correct.

01:48:41.000 It becomes niche.

01:48:42.000 It becomes only the people that have it.

01:48:45.000 It's just, again, like the easiest example right now, we were talking about this before the show.

01:48:50.000 Sea Dance 2.0 is now in Venice.

01:48:52.000 And I think Venice might be the only one with it, which is crazy.

01:48:55.000 I could be wrong, but Sea Dance 2 is nuts.

01:48:58.000 The best AI video generator.

01:49:00.000 It's crazy.

01:49:02.000 We've been using Suno.

01:49:03.000 Suno now is on version 5.5.

01:49:05.000 Sorry.

01:49:06.000 Suno AI music is just.

01:49:08.000 Better.

01:49:09.000 Now, you could be a purist and say, but I like the raw human element.

01:49:12.000 That's fine.

01:49:13.000 But in terms of what hits the dopamine centers, Suno is better.

01:49:17.000 Thank you and have a nice day.

01:49:18.000 You can complain.

01:49:19.000 You can argue.

01:49:20.000 You can say, no way, no way.

01:49:21.000 But I tell you this the younger generations are going to say, I don't care.

01:49:24.000 This is better.

01:49:25.000 I don't know, dude.

01:49:26.000 I do.

01:49:26.000 You're wrong.

01:49:27.000 No, there's literally.

01:49:28.000 It bears it out.

01:49:29.000 It's the vibration of the human bones.

01:49:32.000 And so your DNA will activate when your body starts vibrating from hearing a person singing next to you.

01:49:37.000 The AI is replicating it better.

01:49:40.000 It's perfect one for one.

01:49:40.000 I don't care.

01:49:43.000 As soon as everything got digitized, right, then it became possible to make the exact same thing.

01:49:50.000 So when you hear like an amp simulator, right, Carter can speak to this.

01:49:56.000 When you hear amp simulators, right, you hear the same thing because what's happening is whether it be a real amp or an amp simulator, the simulations now are producing the same frequency that the amp does.

01:50:12.000 So it doesn't matter if it's a real amplifier or an amp simulator.

01:50:17.000 When you're recording it, it just gets turned into zeros and ones, gets turned into binary.

01:50:21.000 And then that same binary can now be replicated without an actual amplifier.

01:50:27.000 So that argument would say AI is going to do binary better than any other machine, but I like analog sound.

01:50:32.000 I wrote a song called Perfection is a Nuisance.

01:50:35.000 I play the acoustic guitar.

01:50:36.000 Yeah, but when people listen to music, they're always listening to something that's almost always listening to binary, unless they're actually live in the room with the person.

01:50:44.000 Yeah, or it's a record, like a record on a record player.

01:50:47.000 Those are analog.

01:50:48.000 Technically, yeah, but that's.

01:50:49.000 That's a very, very small niche group of people that are actually listening to records.

01:50:54.000 99% of the people that listen to music are listening to zeros and ones.

01:51:00.000 I like live music.

01:51:01.000 I like to watch live performances on like paced studios to, you know, different tiny desk stuff.

01:51:08.000 And it's never the same over, like, you know, it's not the record.

01:51:12.000 I just like playing it live.

01:51:13.000 I'm kind of, you guys are probably maybe more right than I'm giving you credit for because, like, I'll talk to people on the phone and it just feels like I'm talking to them.

01:51:20.000 But I can't tell the difference.

01:51:22.000 You will lose something.

01:51:24.000 You will lose soul and spirit and all the conservatives complain about it, but it won't matter because it's going to come down to cost, access, and availability.

01:51:32.000 Back in the day, to listen to music, You had to go find someone who knew how to play music.

01:51:37.000 So, going to the show was such a big deal.

01:51:39.000 I'm talking like 1800s.

01:51:40.000 It'd be like, well, finished a hard day's work and, you know, Sunday night, hey, let's go into town and hear some music.

01:51:48.000 And you wouldn't hear it otherwise.

01:51:51.000 Then we get records.

01:51:53.000 You know, you get the old, what is it, the old can recording thing that Edison had or whatever.

01:51:58.000 Yeah.

01:51:59.000 Super low quality.

01:52:00.000 And so people were like, well, it's great to have music at the home, but it's nothing like a live performance.

01:52:05.000 Why?

01:52:06.000 Have you listened to music from the 20s?

01:52:08.000 It's all lo fi.

01:52:10.000 Now.

01:52:10.000 Our speaker technology is just insane, and you'll arguably just get better, cleaner quality.

01:52:17.000 And you know, you're going to say, I do love seeing the live performance, but I got to be honest.

01:52:24.000 Like, am I really going to drive downtown to see a show?

01:52:26.000 Like, let's just go hang out.

01:52:27.000 We got music on the sound system, it's cheaper, easier, and faster.

01:52:31.000 So people will ultimately just lean towards accessibility.

01:52:35.000 And that's what is literally happening with AI music.

01:52:38.000 You might go, I love watching, you know, like, Real human music, but like my playlist is pretty good.

01:52:45.000 Is it as good as a human?

01:52:46.000 No, but it's 80%.

01:52:47.000 So it works for me.

01:52:49.000 Yeah, I've found when I don't go to a lot of live shows because I get bored.

01:52:55.000 The band plays 15 songs and I'm like, all right, the first five are good.

01:52:58.000 I'd rather pause this and play the other band now and hear another good song I like.

01:53:03.000 But you know, I'm in a live show, you have to sit there for an hour and a half and wait.

01:53:06.000 So I just kind of like, I'd rather just pick the songs I like and play them in succession, which is, I'm just accepting your point.

01:53:13.000 Well, you can watch it on YouTube, which is what I do.

01:53:15.000 Like, watch the live music and listen.

01:53:17.000 All right.

01:53:17.000 So, we got this from Stork91.

01:53:20.000 He says, You spent two weeks in Texas.

01:53:22.000 You didn't talk to many Texans on the show.

01:53:23.000 I'm going to pause you right there.

01:53:26.000 I think only one guest wasn't living in Texas, like, wasn't a resident of Texas.

01:53:30.000 I suppose if you mean like natural born, week two was Brandon Herrera.

01:53:34.000 He means Cowboys.

01:53:35.000 Yeah.

01:53:37.000 Real Texans.

01:53:38.000 Alex Jones, Michael Malice.

01:53:39.000 What was the.

01:53:41.000 Matthew Marsden?

01:53:42.000 He's a Dallas guy, I think.

01:53:44.000 Yeah.

01:53:44.000 He contributed to the plays.

01:53:47.000 No, that was after.

01:53:48.000 Yeah, I think someone literally said this to us when we were in Austin.

01:53:50.000 They were like, How come you have more Texas guests?

01:53:52.000 And I was like, Eight of the 10 guests live here.

01:53:55.000 Like, that was the point.

01:53:56.000 You wanted to see more 10 gallon hats.

01:53:58.000 Because we don't care about the Iranian conflict.

01:54:00.000 The administration's deportation numbers are largely rounded numbers.

01:54:03.000 They stopped filing FOIA requests back in October.

01:54:05.000 They've started conflating who is getting deported from which agency from where and border crossings versus deportations.

01:54:11.000 It's illegals and H 1Bs are all we are about. 1.00

01:54:15.000 Trump is losing Texas.

01:54:17.000 Yeah, probably.

01:54:17.000 My first thought was, That's a Bot, but it's not.

01:54:19.000 But he said, We don't care about a bot on our disk.

01:54:22.000 That's not a bot.

01:54:23.000 We don't care about the Iranian war.

01:54:24.000 Like, that's a weird thing to say.

01:54:27.000 I don't even know who we are.

01:54:28.000 I think it's true that most people don't.

01:54:30.000 I think he's saying that he doesn't want the war in Iran.

01:54:33.000 All right, let's get this from Slick.

01:54:35.000 He says, Scott and Cast, you have large platforms.

01:54:38.000 Can you start a push to primary all incumbents?

01:54:40.000 Don't immediately say, but some are good.

01:54:42.000 Just primary them all out, please.

01:54:44.000 The good ones you can count on.

01:54:46.000 Call it refuse to reelect.

01:54:47.000 I'm going to.

01:54:49.000 Just this is probably, with all due respect, the 14,896,732nd time someone said, Why don't powerful influencers get the incumbents voted out?

01:55:03.000 Because you can't.

01:55:04.000 It's a long, arduous process that requires a lot of work, and you'll maybe move the needle on a handful like we saw with the progressive left, but you're not going to do a massive incumbent purge.

01:55:14.000 Here's another thing to point out the approval rating for Congress is because you're asking the nation to rate individuals.

01:55:22.000 Most counties, like, I'm sorry, most congressional districts have a favorable view of their member of Congress.

01:55:29.000 Then the nation has a negative view.

01:55:31.000 So a lot of people are like, why are Republicans like Dan Crenshaw getting elected?

01:55:36.000 Because he represents a district where they make money off of the military.

01:55:40.000 To be fair, he was primaried.

01:55:41.000 But you have districts where there are Republicans and the jobs they have are a weapons factory or a military industrial facility.

01:55:51.000 And then we say, why are the Republicans voting for this?

01:55:54.000 That guy is because if he voted against that funding, he'd get voted out of office because the people who live in his district make money off of it.

01:56:00.000 This is what people don't understand.

01:56:02.000 So, how do you vote the incumbents?

01:56:03.000 The incumbents are promising things to their district the district wants.

01:56:07.000 Just there's no collective United States that wants the same thing.

01:56:10.000 Yeah, when people say they don't like Congress, most of the time they say they don't like Congress, but they like their own congressperson.

01:56:17.000 So they're happy with the person that's delivering for their district, but they don't like the rest of Congress because the things that they want nationally don't get passed.

01:56:27.000 But in reality, people tend to be happy with their own representative.

01:56:32.000 It's just the other ones they don't like.

01:56:35.000 If I may, to this person, I make a promise right here and now if Senate Majority Leader Thune does not pass the SEAVE America Act, then I am going to Texas.

01:56:47.000 Senate Majority Leader Thune wants to protect John Cornyn in the Senate, the incumbent, and the May 26th primary Senate runoff is coming up.

01:56:56.000 So, everybody in Texas, you have the opportunity.

01:56:59.000 If Thune isn't going to give us what we want, then we are going to take away what he has.

01:57:05.000 And in Louisiana, you have Senator Cassidy, who is up for election on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020.

01:57:11.000 26.

01:57:12.000 If he doesn't get 50% of the vote, it goes to a runoff in December.

01:57:16.000 And just so this person knows, with my platform, this year I've already been to Indiana, Florida, Pennsylvania, Utah to help with redistricting.

01:57:26.000 I'm going to Indiana for the Cinco de Mayo primary.

01:57:29.000 I've been going to Virginia for the April 21st referendum.

01:57:32.000 I hope people vote no.

01:57:33.000 We have a primary in Pennsylvania on May 19th.

01:57:36.000 So, no, I promise you, I am using my platform, and I'm probably respectfully one of the only influencers on the Ground doing the actual boots on the ground work.

01:57:46.000 So you have my commitment that I'm going to continue putting in that work.

01:57:49.000 There you go.

01:57:50.000 Indeed.

01:57:51.000 And Scott has been successful in the very successful in the past.

01:57:54.000 So that's a massive white pill for you.

01:57:56.000 Texas definitely needs you, man.

01:57:58.000 So just for the last part of your question, you said they rejected the will of the people in the 24 election and put Thune in and refused a public vote.

01:58:04.000 So we knew who cited against Trump and Rick Scott.

01:58:06.000 The issue is you've got a district where he's like, I need this in the omnibus because it's going to provide $17 million to go to the medical.

01:58:15.000 Facilities in my district where we manufacture masks and syringes.

01:58:19.000 The people who live in my district need this to happen.

01:58:22.000 And the Democrat goes, Well, I'll give you the vote on it, but we're not passing the SAVE Act.

01:58:26.000 And he goes, Done, because my voters don't care.

01:58:29.000 National level, high esoteric, you know, high focused people are going to tell you about SAVE Act.

01:58:34.000 And then they're going to go back to their districts or they're going to go back to their state.

01:58:37.000 And the people are going to be like, I mean, SAVE Act is great.

01:58:40.000 I love it.

01:58:41.000 But are you getting us the funding?

01:58:43.000 And if they come to their state and say, Told the Democrats screw the funding for our state that we need for these programs because we want the Save Act.

01:58:50.000 They vote you out.

01:58:52.000 So that's the way it goes.

01:58:55.000 Unfortunately.

01:58:57.000 All right.

01:58:57.000 Let's see.

01:58:58.000 Let's try and grab what do we got here?

01:58:59.000 We got time for maybe one or two more.

01:59:03.000 What do we got here?

01:59:06.000 Let's see.

01:59:07.000 I can't tell which are questions.

01:59:08.000 You got to start your question with question.

01:59:09.000 Let's say this from Hades.

01:59:10.000 He says, Following up on Maximus's question from yesterday, what's the best way to get the outcome based regulations he discussed with you made into law and make it a strict requirement?

01:59:19.000 I guess the issue there is we don't have the question from yesterday to reference.

01:59:23.000 So I don't know what you're talking about.

01:59:24.000 Maximus.

01:59:25.000 Sorry, man.

01:59:26.000 I remember we had the question, but I don't remember the specifics of his question.

01:59:30.000 Maximus.

01:59:32.000 So let's jump down and grab the next one.

01:59:37.000 I think that question is not for us.

01:59:42.000 Okay.

01:59:43.000 Olivia says, Scott, are there other people in states like Texas, Indiana, Utah, et cetera, that can run their own statewide EVA team?

01:59:51.000 Would love your help.

01:59:53.000 Absolutely.

01:59:54.000 Our goal is to expand to other states.

01:59:57.000 I know that we want to go into Nevada.

01:59:59.000 So you can reach out to me.

02:00:00.000 You can slide into my DMs at Scott Pressler on X.

02:00:04.000 But no, listen, I need backup.

02:00:08.000 You know, sometimes I feel like I'm hitting my head against the wall doing this work on my own.

02:00:12.000 I need more people on the ground joining us, so I'd love to work with you.

02:00:17.000 Right on.

02:00:17.000 There you go.

02:00:19.000 Let's grab one more.

02:00:21.000 Haiti says Tim, imagine a bill where agencies can suggest best practices, but they must measure outcomes.

02:00:26.000 If someone achieves a better measurable result with a creative solution or alternate method, that should count.

02:00:33.000 If the regulation doesn't improve the actual outcome over time, it expires unless re justified.

02:00:37.000 I think the actual solution to that is sunset clauses in all bills.

02:00:41.000 Because.

02:00:43.000 It's going to be like you're asking for a nebulous bill.

02:00:47.000 The point he made is that regulation says you got to wear a three point harness while at work doing the specific task for safety.

02:00:53.000 But a five point harness would be better, and we're not allowed to use it because of the regulations.

02:00:57.000 So, how do we have regulations that say just do better?

02:01:00.000 The problem is it's nebulous.

02:01:01.000 So, I think the real provision is we need sunset clauses in all laws, every single one of them.

02:01:09.000 Every law will expire and must be re upped.

02:01:11.000 That's not a bad idea.

02:01:13.000 That's a great idea.

02:01:14.000 Yeah.

02:01:14.000 I mean, if it's a good policy that's produced positive results, it should be fairly easy, or you would assume.

02:01:20.000 And they'd have the omnibus law.

02:01:24.000 They'd be like, there are certain things like murder that we're keeping illegal that has to be updated every five years.

02:01:29.000 And all laws have sunsets.

02:01:31.000 And there will never be an instance where they legalize murder.

02:01:34.000 So it has to be being done.

02:01:35.000 But then there are some things that will need to be updated based on changing technology or whatever, like miscegenation laws.

02:01:44.000 Still on the books in some states.

02:01:45.000 Cohabitation law is still on the books.

02:01:46.000 Those should be sunsetting.

02:01:47.000 I think copyright laws could use a refurbish.

02:01:51.000 Perhaps.

02:01:52.000 Elon thinks so.

02:01:53.000 Well, my friends, that about does it.

02:01:55.000 So, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you've ever met in your life.

02:01:59.000 I hope you all have a happy Easter and you hide the Easter baskets for your kids.

02:02:03.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.

02:02:05.000 And to, I'll avoid the unplustered, to heck with those calling it a spring holiday.

02:02:11.000 You see this spring holiday stuff?

02:02:13.000 Yes.

02:02:13.000 It's Easter.

02:02:51.000 Thank you.

02:02:51.000 Yeah.

02:02:52.000 Good to see you.

02:02:52.000 Good to be back.

02:02:53.000 Yeah, dude.

02:02:54.000 Your accent is thicker than I remember.

02:02:55.000 Am I crazy?

02:02:56.000 Oh, gosh.

02:02:57.000 Maybe I'm crazy.

02:02:57.000 Okay.

02:02:58.000 No, I've been spending too much time in the Midwest.

02:03:01.000 I think that's what it is.

02:03:01.000 Oh, no.

02:03:02.000 Well, I moved to Pennsylvania.

02:03:04.000 I live there.

02:03:05.000 Yeah.
