DeProgram with John Kiriakou and Ted Rall - Trump, the Irish Nationalist | DeProgram with Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas

Episode Date: September 14, 2026

Editorial cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM Eastern time. Today we discuss:• Trump stands by his support for a united Ireland. Trump said in Dublin, sitting beside Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin on Saturday, that he'd "love to see" Ireland unified and that it is "going to happen eventually," so it "may as well happen now." He described uniting Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland as "fantastic," adding: "The U.K. would have something to say about it obviously, but I think it would be a great thing, I mean, how can it be bad?" Trump later said Irish reunification would be a "very cool thing" while noting that "no matter what you say or how you say it, there's no good answer." Trump told reporters: "It just seems to me that you have Northern Ireland and you have Ireland. It seems to me that one of the naturals of all time is to put them together."• The National Security Agency is set to undergo its most extensive internal restructuring in at least a decade. The new design for one of the most powerful U.S. intelligence agencies, the brainchild of Army Gen. Joshua M. Rudd, calls for the creation of five new organizations inside the agency, in artificial intelligence, China, cybersecurity, combat support or warfighting, and global intelligence. • Saudi Arabia is caught in the middle of the war between the United States and Iran. Trump refuses to attack the Houthis. Now, unable to export its oil, the kingdom’s leadership has few options.SUBSCRIBE on YouTube/Rumble: $5/month$20/month on YouTube: Get a Closing Credit$50/month on YouTube: Exclusive Monthly Hangout with Ted and Jamarl (Rumblers: contact [e-mail] for details)MERCH STORE: https://www.deprogram.livehttps://x.com/tedrallhttps://x.com/JamarlThomasLIVE ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/DeProgramShowSPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kdFlw2w8sSPhKI8NRx8ZuAPPLE MUSIC: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/deprogram-with-ted-rall-and-jamarl-thomas/id1825379504

Morning, it is Monday, September 14th, 2026. This is D-Program with Jedd-Roll and Jamarle Thomas. Thank you for starting your week with us. We're here on Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Eastern time. And it is always good to have you guys along for the ride. We also do the Q&A show, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. So we got one of those coming up at 12 noon. Good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning. Because you just came as, Robbie, you've got to be nice. She heard us talking about the Heifer t-shirt. We are going to be making a Heifer t-shirt. Of course. So deport that heifer. And Kizzy just comes in, just looks at me. Robbie, it's too early in the morning and be nice.

That must be something she says to you every day. You have no idea. Oh, I have some idea. But a Hepard t-shirt is just a great idea, though. It all depends on the artwork. Everything's contented on the artwork. But we know a cartoonist. It cars salesman once.

when I was on camera with them. And they took great offense to that. The funny part is, the reason I call them a car salesman, because it came on in order to, what I suspected was, in order to give a point of, not a point of view, a dissertation on a particular topic that we were disagreeing upon, to which I took great offense to and got into a big fight with. The car salesman thing, I wanted to have that T-shirt.

So I appreciate Kizzy's point of view. That HEPA T-shirt is a must. I mean, I regret that having a car salesman T-Slee. They have a t-shirt to so much. It's just too good. It's too good. Well, you know, I mean, this whole little episode, and we're not going to like rehash it again, but it is a reminder of the stride sound effect, right?

Like when you make a big deal out of something, then it can get away from you. And, you know, I was deeply, you know, that's always a concern. And look, you know, we all have to deal with it at times. All right, guys, we have a lot to talk about today. It's been a news-packed weekend. as Jamar, you said it eloquently last week. Saudi Arabia is fucked. We'll get into that.

They asked Trump to attack the Houthis. Houthi, I mean, Trump's got his hands full, so he said no. He said that the Houthis called him and asked him not to attack them. And he's like, and they're like, no, he didn't. I think I know who I believe. Houthis didn't need to tell me that, right? Did you all see the article that I wrote on Pickett? and dropped it.

Well, it was a post. So basically what the post says is, the Houthis are that pissed off mean chihuahua with an AK-47 that just keep kicking it. And it never stays down. It keeps coming back for his lunch. It's going to eat you one ankle at a time. That's what they are. I love the Houthis.

They are the Arab. They are the Arab Rednecks. And I love them. They're doing stuff with old. Never say die. They're doing things with these old 1990 Toyota pickup trucks. Well, that's what they can't do with their The Taliban fought on those things throughout the 90s.

They love them. You know. Can me forward, man. There's sturdy, man. We don't need no paved roads, right? I got flip-flops in the AK-47 and a Toyota. I'm good. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, you can surrender now or you can surrender later. So the NSA is going through a restructuring. We'll get into that. And this is our lead story, but we don't have to do it first. Trump has repeatedly said that he supports a Irish reunification, which is funny because, you know, I can, you know, I'm 63 years old. I can't think of a time in my life when Ireland was less in the news than now in terms of reunification. But Trump managed to do that repeatedly.

It's also weird because Ireland is, you know, on Team Gaza all the way. So the whole thing is strange. But anyway, where shall we start? We can start there. I mean, like, the reunification thing is weird and interesting. Apparently, he's going to cut tariffs on liquor from Ireland. Okay. I don't remember a president ever waiting into this in my lifetime where they bring this up and mention.

Well, there are a few things that are weird. For one, the idea that Ireland wants to reunify to get away from the UK, but still remain under the European Union is weird and it's always been weird to me. I never quite got that. Really? It's like we want to get from an organization that we have some level of clout and some level of influence into one where we have basically none. Well, I mean, Ireland, I mean, Ireland itself is not in the UK, obviously. I mean, they fought long and hard not to be. So this would just be about, this is all about Northern Ireland, which is, you know, a settler colonial project. And, you know, it's kind of like completely analogous to, you know, the Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

You know, it's basically, but it's a complicated question, right? I mean, it's on one sense. Let me quote some of the things that the president said, right? Just over a two-day period. And it is actually hilariously Trumpy. He said, he'd love to see Ireland reunified. And it's going to happen eventually, so it might as well happen now. He said it would be fantastic.

He said the UK would have something to say about it, obviously, but I think it would be a great thing. I mean, how can it be bad? I mean, I think the Protestants in Northern Ireland, the Ulster nationalists might have some opinions about that. He also said Irish unification would be a very cool thing, said no matter what you say or you say or how you say it, there's no good answer.

See, I don't think he knows anything about me. No, he knows nothing about it. It just seems to me that you have Northern Ireland and you have Ireland. It seems to me that one of the naturals of all time is to put them together. Now, I mean, in a sense, he's right. Like, I remember when I first heard about this issue as a kid, and any idiot can look at a map and say, okay, Ireland is, you know, it's kind of like if there's ever a country, a case for, you know, apologies to Sinali aside for a nation state, it's Ireland. It's an island with a distinct culture and people, right? And then you have this little piece of Northern Ireland that belongs to the UK

and has always, you know, has spasms of violence over the years. And you're like, why is that there? That shouldn't be there. And so, you know, I mean, I kind of get where Trump's coming from, but he doesn't understand what's involved. I mean, for the record here, if anyone cares, I'm totally pro-Irish unification. I think that, you know, the Brits have no business.

the island of Ireland. But at the same time, you have to, you have to, you know, do this, you know, thoughtful, careful way. And you have to figure out a way to try to make sure we don't get another set of the troubles like there were in the 70s. That's what I'm going to say. Yeah. I have a question for the two of y'all, because y'all are much smarter than I am. Do you all think Trump is doing this as a way to punish Britain for trying to dip for, because on the international stage, the Brits kind of backhanded Israel. So you got to respect a two-state solution. You guys started playing nice, maybe back down on the genocide just a little bit.

And so you think that Trump got the call from Tel Aviv, say, hey, you bring your dog back in, aka the Brits. And Northern Ireland is just kind of dangling there. For my understanding, though, the UK was talking about what the West Bank. they were wrong with this they were isolating it to the west bank their criticism yeah but that's still that's still an anti-israel criticism i mean israel's a guilty i just want to make sure it was okay it'll make sure i was missed or something yeah no it's just it's just a matter of which of the

british complaint is that if the british are cool to genocide and that's fine if the brits are cool with lebanon and syria being evaded that's okay but maybe the west bank is just one one step too far even for the brits no i agree with so i think this is a back-handed with given at the Brits. I mean, this is obviously their prize pony. I can't remember another U.S. president bringing this up. Like, of, no, the policy has always been, the policy has always been strict neutrality. We don't, we don't have an opinion on this issue. And it was a hot issue in like the, in the 70s, 80s, I remember going to a bar called Ireland's 32 in San Francisco, where they had all the pictures of the Irish hunger strikers like Bobby Sands, up on the walls,

as the martyrs. There were bars in the West Village in New York City that had they had crazy amounts of, you know, IRA propaganda on the walls and they would say 10% of all purchases go directly to the IRA and we don't mean shit thing.

I mean, so it's like, and then basically the IRA lost, right? I mean, they basically had made a peace deal with the Brits and all they really got in exchange was some seats in Parliament in the year. So they got some representation. And that was in.

The IRA basically folded it up, but they didn't get it. They didn't get, you know, what they wanted. And basically, the British one. So that roots around the border, directly if I'm wrong. Like when Boris Johnson came in, the last time Boris Johnson was in

and Boris Johnson was doing Brexit, Brexit ran headlong into the issue of Ireland, the IRA. I mean, not the IRA, but Irish border. Because what Boris Johnson was, wanted to do effectively put a knife in the Good Friday Agreement, in which case people were thinking, oh my God, we're going back to the troubles, meaning they did get rules around how they engage with the border, no military at the border, no military at checkpoints,

no checkpoints at all, et cetera, et cetera. They got something out of it. They just didn't get Northern Ireland. They didn't win. Yeah, they didn't get Northern Ireland, which is what it was all about. Yeah. And I mean, I mean, I'm definitely on team Ireland here. But at the same time, it's like, look, the reality is you have, you know, multiple generations of, you know, pro-British, northern Irish people, Protestants in particular who've been there in some cases going back to the 1700s. You know, I mean, that's their home. And like you could say, okay, well, you guys can just move to Scotland. Hell, it looks kind of the same. But it's not the same, right?

It's not home. Well, more to the point than that, I mean, the memes are at themselves. The British say that they want a two-state solution going as far as recognizing a state of Palestine. So for the Israeli perspective, then, wouldn't it make sense for them for the Israelis to push for a four-state solution? For the British. I mean, think about what I just said. I mean, wouldn't that be the natural evolution of this from a political tit for tat? Okay, fine, you want a state of Palestine.

the United Kingdom is a imperial construct. So if that's going to happen, if we're going to give the Palestinians a state, then that means you must dissolve the European Union and accept a four-state solution. England, Wales. The Scots had their chance. The Scots had their chance,

and only apparently the fictional Mel Gibson wanted to be independent from England. Because there's no freedom. Yeah, because, I mean, they voted to stay under the imperial yoke. Frankly, I was deeply disappointed with my Scottish friends about that. I couldn't, I mean, they thought that I guess they couldn't, they couldn't hand, they, they didn't think they'd be economically viable without the UK.

I don't think that's true. I mean, they have oil fields, you know, and they have considerable fishing and tourism. I don't know. I think they could have made it. I don't know. I mean, what's the, what are they, I mean, they just, I could be wrong on this, but they seem to want independence just for the sake of independence. and he failed in a referendum.

Yeah, I think that's right. It's kind of like the UK, getting out of the European Union. The UK is worse off. That was the strangest. Brexit is so strange. I mean, it's like literally England had the best deal in the European Union, right? They weren't part of the monetary union. They still had a high degree of sovereignty like France or Belgium.

And, you know, they weren't taking orders from Brussels. They had all the advantages and none of the difference. disadvantages. It's really strange. Immigration is a major disadvantage, though, because it's part of the European Union, you've got to be a member of the Schengen zone. Well, that's true. If you're getting bum rushed and people are sucking off the public, the tit, that's a major issue. Yeah, people were like literally immigrants were like camping out at the, in northwestern France and basically like sneaking in through the channel on top of the trains and stuff.

Yeah, I mean, that's why. But they're still worse off. Like, even with the immigration, Britain's economy has taken a hit. In fact, even from the standpoint of the United States, what the United States is basically to prey upon Britain because they are now much weaker as opposed to being part of the European Union. The United States love the fact that Britain pulled themselves up. They're a weaker country. That's just a much weaker country.

It's objectively true. But, but I mean, also the the pro-Brexit propaganda campaign was very powerful. It kind of pre-staged Trump's lies in that, like, there were these posters on the sides of the buses throughout the UK that said, you know, every day we pay, I don't know, 14 million pounds to people. That wasn't even true. It wasn't even true. They just made it up.

It reminds me of like, you know, it's very cool. But like, don't fear the Reaper, Blue Oyster called says, you know, 40,000 men and women every day. And then I read, like, years later, the singer didn't have any idea how many people die every day. He just made that up. Are you serious? I swear to God. Oh, that's great. No, I mean, they ran a hell of a campaign.

And to me very clear, Jeremy Corbyn was, I hate to say this because I love the guy, very pathetic. And that race. Like, if you remember when he was running against Boris Johnson, what Boris Johnson used as this refrain against Jeremy Corvin was freedom. I'm for freedom. The referendum said they wanted to leave. So damn it, I'm going to be the one. that makes us leave, I'm going to help us make us leave, is Jeremy Corby going to live up to the

referendum? And of course, Jeremy Corby's response was, no comment. I mean, that's amazing. Against freedom. It's also Trumpy, right, in that it's like, really vague, like, make America great again. Who could be against? Johnson could at least say the referendum says we want out. So I'm going to take us out. Are you for democracy? Are you for freedom? Are you going to live up to the referendum? That's a hell of a refrain. Like that will he use that like a weapon. And man, it. I mean, that's very effective.

I mean, you know, it's kind of like, well, I just want to respect the people's will. Okay. I mean, that's a big deal. So I don't, so the Irish thing, I think, look, I think Robbie's right. I think that this was a bitch slap to the UK with no thought for the fact that really, when it comes to who's like more team Gaza, more team, you know, Palestinian, it's Ireland, far more than, you know, that they were one of the first countries, impose sanctions. You know, the U.K. has just barely dipped to their toes. I mean, the Irish, you know,

joins the ICC, you know, situation against Netanyana. You know, the Irish have been, they've been doing God's work in terms of resisting the Israelis. So it's hilarious. You know, I mean, I guess a big question for the Irish is, would they, let's just say there's a world in which, you know, someone could offer, space aliens can offer them, Northern Ireland. Would they want it back? Because, I mean, I mean, I guess they would at this point. I mean, at this point, but the Protestants would be a restive force. I mean, they might go back to war. I mean, they would be very angry and very upset.

Well, I mean, to answer your question about Ireland, sure. I mean, they're going out there. They're very good at writing strongly worded emails, but who cares? Ireland has no power. Power, if you have no power. They have moral authority. And moral authority is not nothing. And they do.

Because of fighting the Brits for years for their freedom and independence. If moral authority mattered, Gaza wouldn't be a parking lot right now. What doesn't matter in every situation? It matters because Lestine is going to be free. And Charles de Gaulle, who, by the way, apparently this biopic about DeGal is a giant hit in France right now. I'm looking forward to seeing it. But Charles de Gaulle famously told Petin, when Petin wanted to surrender to the Germans, he's like pechan said they're going to level france and make it look like warsaw and he said france is not

and de gaul said france is not a pile of bricks it's an idea and like even if there's nothing left france is eternal and lives forever that's the same thing for palestine the palestine is going to win we're going to see it in our lifetimes they're going to have a free state israel's fucked i mean you know and you can see it and like yeah it's a pile of rubble right now but it will rise. But the point is, though, is about Ireland. Ireland has no power. There's nothing to that. No one wakes up in the morning. I wonder what the Irish are going to do about this. Moral authority matters. When they came out against the Israelis, the world paid attention. And it also, that inspired Macron to join. I mean, it's not nothing. I mean, it's not victory.

But it's, we're going to look back when the history of Palestinian independence is written. people will say this is a notable chapter with the Irish. I mean, do you all think that honestly, though, you all think this could be the end of the special relationship between the U.S. and the British, because in addition to Ireland, Trump's also went in against Argentina with regards to the Falcon Islands.

Anything's possible. No. Considering that he blew up the relationship with Canada. I'm going to say no. Canadian. That's not even going to be true for Canada. Canada will come back around. Look, from my point of view,

this is the white world. right like this is the 14% of the white world whether these colonial powers for the most part have lost tremendous amount of power over the course of the years and like a tit latched themselves to the ass of the united states considering the u.s being a power broker and if they're associated with the u.s they also will have some level of clout and power in the world they're not giving that up i mean what what are they with what is europe without america nothing a bunch of pretty places that have no military hard power in the lease no technological edge at all, completely reliant upon U.S. technology, U.S. companies, and for that matter,

even Chinese companies at this point, because they themselves don't have anything. I'm saying, I don't believe for a moment that Europe, regardless of the hardship that it takes from the U.S. is going to leave. Well, yeah, I mean, maybe. By the way, I wanted to ask you, did you see 60 minutes last night? It was the first Barry Weiss edition of 60 minutes. Wait, said it one more time. I'm sorry. Did you see 60 Minutes last night?

It was the first Barry Weiss edition. Was it? And what did they play about how great the Jews are and how it's not a joke with that? And how these Palestinian babies are just holding bombs. So it was really interesting. So basically they threaded the needle. There's always three. There's three topics.

The third topic was basically a throwaway. like, you know, I skipped it. But it was like a cultural thing. The first one was a blowjob to Pete Higsa, where basically they brought him on and he didn't even look like a mega douche fascist. And it was all about like the rescue of the, in the Iran war,

when there were U.S. two U.S. guys shot down behind, as they called enemy lines in Iran, where they had no business being. and basically about the effort to have them survive and to go in and rescue them. So it was like this whole like zero dark 30, like dramatic, like, oh, behind the scenes and they interviewed the guy. It was so bizarre because they were like, we're not going to identify him. We're only calling him by his code name. And yet there he is with his face.

And he's talking. And they didn't like disguise his voice like the old days or disguise his face. I'm like, it's 2026. Like, what are you doing? But anyway, it was definitely a militaristic blowjob with no question. Nora O'Donnell, basically sucking administration cock. But then in the second segment, it was an anti-Trump thing where basically it was a an old school reveal with hidden cameras, just like the old 60 minutes in the 70s and 80s,

where they basically caught people who were allegedly Trump pardon brokers who basically which said, for money, you know, I can get you a pardon from Donald Trump. John previously has talked about how he was... Giuliani. Giuliani requested, I think, a million dollars in order to get a pardon for John. Now, what was left missing on the... So it's... I'd say if you weren't paying close attention, which is, of course, the American viewers,

you might think, okay, this is an anti-Trump thing. But on the other hand, but there's no evidence that, you know, it's one thing to say, okay, these guys say they can get you a pardon from Trump. But there was no indication that anyone did get a pardon from Trump from one of these guys or that Trump knows about these things. Right. Anybody can say, oh, I can get you a pardon from Trump. Ted Rawl, I can get you a pardon from Trump. Give me a million dollars.

But I mean, you know, so it's kind of like it's not really a smoking gun, but it, you know. I mean, but think of all the people that don't know from pardon. Like many of these people were obviously felons. Well, it's part. I guess it has to be a felon. that these people were effectively convicted. Basically, they were rich. Basically, they were either in real estate or crypto

or in one of these particular fields. It wouldn't blow my mind to think that they greased the palms of somebody to get that pardon from Trump. And the fact that Giuliani, I don't know if Giuliani had power to get a pardon. So let's put that in context. I want to be very clear.

But the fact that Giuliani is out there selling pardons. And John, who I actually believe him, on this idea of, I believe him too. Hey, we'll give you money for the pardon. and Giuliani gets up, walks into the bathroom and the lawyer says, talk to me, not him. I strongly suspect that this is how influence is peddled in a way to prevent the bribery charge. You don't talk to the person, you talk to the lawyer.

And they find some kind of workhole, a workaway or workaround to allow you to transfer money to somebody and you to get the deal, whatever that particular deal is. I think that was true for under Joe Biden with the stuff that was taking place for Hunter Biden. And I think that's true here. I mean, we can't prove it, but man, there's smoke. Oh, there's definitely smoke. No question. Hey, do you want to do some comments? Yes, let's do comments.

All right, here we go. If you so, thanks for the dollar. Do you think socialism, that the Socialism 2026 conference was a sireop to discredit the left with their masks and fat genocide nonsense? No, no, the Marxist, 2026 conference happening at the same time. was ignored.

Wait, wait, wait. I didn't even, okay, for one, I didn't even know there was a socialism, 2026 program. Nor did I. And two, they said fat genocide. Is that what they said? Yeah, yeah. What does that even mean?

I can split some of that. Some of the propaganda coming out of Israel is like, look how well fed the Palestinians are. Look all these fat Palestinians. They need a Zimic. Like Kukabe, Mike Kukubi, the Huckabee, Kukabe was making the TV round. some about how the Palestinians need ozimic because they're fat, they're lazy, and they are getting too many calories. So that's the whole that's the fat genocide stuff. Man, and never mind that life.

That fucker. There's also that their other propaganda line these days is Gaza would, right? Like basically like, oh, all the photos, all the images that we saw from Gaza were faked by, you know, basically corn one type. But of course, that doesn't really explain Al Jazeera or CNN or, you know, it doesn't explain how buildings like 90% of it is leveled to the ground. Right, right. Like many, it's not like it's not like it's on the moon, right? Like the photographs of what it looked like before and what it looked like after the

leveling to the ground. Israel detonating tons of explosives underground at, I think it's called Altaner Mountain, which calls like an earthquake, a 4.1 on the Richter scale, and Lebanon. Okay, are they thinking that too? Yeah, I mean, it's funny. The whole, like, this is not a generous side line. You know, I mean, a bullshit kind of amazes me. You know, my favorite part is like, oh, look, the population of the Palestinians keeps going on,

although that's actually not true, right? The population of the Palestinians has declined because they killed up several hundred thousand, right? Like, it's a couple of years. So it's just not true. But even if that were true, that has nothing to do with whether it's a genocide or not. Genocide is about intent. It's not about population numbers. It's like maybe you're not good at genocide.

You know, but like if you're out to commit it, it's still a genocide. Yeah. I mean, they've been murdering people in mass. I mean, even at that rate, I mean, like, you know, the survival of Jews in France was the highest in occupied Europe. And, you know, I think Estonia was the lowest. I think there was zero survivors. Yeah. But Sony did a great job murder in Jews.

So it's like, okay, well, so was it, was the Estonia one a real one, but the French one was not a real one? No, it's just different outcomes. That's all. Yeah. Agreed. Yeah. That's disgusting. That's utterly disgusting.

I mean, even our own government, by the way, under Joe Biden, understood it was a genocide and the people quit because the Joe Biden administration wanted them to change it to make it look as if it wasn't starvation. Meaning we knew and understood and wrote the report saying it's starvation. The Biden administration did everything in their power to change that report to which the woman who wrote the report quit the job. Meaning her department came up and said, hey, this is obviously a starvation. I lost need to kick in on the issue of a country committing starvation and us giving weapons to that country. The Biden administration killed it. Meaning even us, even us, we knew it was starvation. Those people are disgusting.

I hope they die of cancer. Yeah, me, no, me too. And not one of the good cancers, like ass cancer. If he continues as a fat genocide, mean no more fat access to P-H-A-T. And Jackson, how are you, Robbie and you too, J-T? I'm good. I'm attacked. Robbie? I am very good. I've been enjoying life. It's good. It's the death alternative.

Yeah, I did, I did formally apologize. to the cows for the hever insult. They deserve better. Wait, to all of the cows? No, not that, no. I apologize to the, to the livestock grazing cows here.

You heard what we're about to say right. Not that cow. Not that one. No, no, no. I did not apologize. But y'all probably, y'all may be promised no ad hominem attacks, which in fairness, that was not my intention.

It was the nose ring. It just completely threw me off. Yeah, that blue. me away that that's what you that was your exclamation i was like that's what's so interesting right i mean i think you know when you have a like you know like sitcom comedies where there's like misunderstandings like the probably you know like three's company like you overhear something and then you take it at something totally different um which i never get tired of that kind of and apparently english is like a really good language for that because it's such a vague language compared to many other languages

but but like you know basically i don't know i just thought that was, oh, I lost my train of thought. Anyway, go whatever. Basically, you thought it was like a differential and cultural. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't think about, oh, yeah, Robbie's in the, he's in the West. They have met, they have a lot of livestock.

The nose ring, it's like I didn't even think about, you know, so. This is what I mean, that's the whole reason that that Hephyr even nose ring, what wears nose rings, sim every day. Yeah, because I thought when I think Hephyr, I think of that as a fat insult. like that or or a lookest like oh she's the person's ugly I think it's fat they're a heifer

but we don't have cows here like I don't see cows in Virginia like talking about letting Richmond anyway not in the city no no I've been to Richmond and I never saw a cow yeah never saw a cow

yeah only only at the only on the supermarket shelf post processing just feeling you really why didn't Trump let Ukraine unify with Russia LOL pertinent to the Iraq I know, right, if he's going to love you.

Right. Well, you heard Kushner come on and said, yeah, we would have had a deal if it was only for the Zelensky not willing to give up those territories. Oh, what have gotten? And just think, before the war started, the Istanbul agreements would have allowed Ukraine to remain in charge of its locations. Well, I mean, they should have just stuck with Minsk. Minsk was good. Yeah. They didn't want to do that.

They wanted to use that as a pretext for war. I mean, they admitted that they signed it with like their, you know, Trump style in pencil with like their fingers crossed behind their backs, right? Yeah. We never intended. We never intended to honor that. And you know, she doubled down on that recent, basically saying, yeah, this is, you know, we lied to Putin about this deal.

We used this deal as a way, a deal that should have ended the war was a way to effectively build up a military to fight that war. Yeah, she doubled down on it. Well, I guess they kind of got that idea from the, Soviet, the Nazi Soviet pact, right? The Ribbentroff. Rippantracht, yeah. Well, did you see where Trump asked the landscape? We're running a little on diesel to the point where we're starting to ration motor oil here in the United States. So could you please maybe stop blowing up the diesel for final

reason, Russia? Which is wow, because that was the CIA plot, meaning the United States is running this war in Ukraine, the pathways and everything else that they are effectively used in a hit stuff. the CIA is undergirding this, meaning these attacks on a few refineries was U.S. policy. True. Right. But this was what the U.S. was doing in order to, quote, bring Russia to the table. Although the right hand might not know what the left hand was doing in that case, right? Maybe.

Well, also back then, the Strel Hormuz and Bobo Mendeb were open. Now they're not. They're not. So the reality is close. So now they need that sweet, sweet Russian oil. Yeah, they sure fucking do. Philly's behalf takes issue with

Britain isn't worse off because of Brexit. Look up Janis Varouk Fakas' debunking of the recent report that claimed that it's on the that claims that it's on the econoclass channel. I mean, all right.

Let's see. A few more comments. The right. Ireland and the 20th century IRA as we knew it was the result of U.S. antagonism with the UK as it took on the world hedge on role, like how the U.S. outmaneuvered the U.K. in the Suez crisis. Yeah, well, don't maneuver.

The U.K. has just in that power, issues power. Yeah, I think that's more, that's closer to it. Phileas, no, the claim is not that OZembek is causing a genocide of fat Americans. It was woke in-Pol stuff, identity politics. This is this broad evidence that this kind of thing is CIA Sciop, Steinem, Cultural, Congress for Cultural Freedom, et cetera. Yes, Steinem, classic example. So wait, I don't get the fat, the fat genocide thing.

Are they saying that this was from the left? That was basically getting rid of fat people, and this is a fat genocide. By the way, that is something that I would expect to come from the left. We're killing all of these fat people using those impet. Hey, they just move weight. I could see that. Yeah, my

only concern is, is it safe? And I don't know the answer because I'm not a doctor. But, like, you know, if it's safe, then it's fine with me. You know, obviously. We should not want fat people. Obesity is obviously unhealthy. Yes. That's not like a, I mean, I could stand to lose some weight, you know.

And I'm on the, I'm on the fence about GLP ones because, you know, you apparently have to just take it the rest of your life. Right. And that sucks. I don't, anything you have to, I mean, you know how it has to have to take something the rest of your life. Yeah. It's not fun. So, but, you know, anyway, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, just being 20 pounds since being back into the country. I myself am fat and I need to lose weight. I'm fat. That's not a negative thing. It's not that people who are, you know, less weight, more healthy. Yeah, I mean, our food is making us fat. I mean, you lose weight just by not being in the U.S. and just eating and drinking normally just because there's not as much shit in the food.

So, all right, let's move on here. Maybe Saudi Arabia is a nice segue, yeah? Yes, screwed. I think I even name a thing of my video. video today with Prince Bid Salman and the word just screwed. I think the other video was the other day was like Saudi Arabia is fucked. That's exactly what you said and they are. We should enumerate, right? So basically they have three ways. They have plan A to getting

their oil out was the straight of Formuz. Was. We know what happened there. Then there's the Red Sea. That was plan B. The Houthis have now captured that coastline, which means plan B is gone. And then Plan C was the trans-Saudi pipeline that goes to the northern Red Sea, well, middle kind of. Red Sea is a big place. And that's now offline, literally, and it has been blown up. And obviously, anything that's been blown up by a drone can be blown up by a drone again in the future. So it's like repairing it. I guess they will repair it. But it's not like they can, sure, they can reopen it, but it's going to probably happen again. And they don't have great anti-drone defenses the way the Russians do.

So, you know, what do they do? This is going to take six months a year to fix. Okay, so if you're MBS. So they asked, they said, the Saudis came to the U.S. and said, listen, we really would like you to join us in attacking the Houthis. We can't do it ourselves. We don't want to do it ourselves. So I guess partly that's due to, I don't know, why doesn't sell? Saudi Arabia want to attack the Houthis solo.

Is it because they're worried about the international repercussions of that because there's such a pariah state? Or is it because of the, they just don't have the military wherewithal to pull it off? Like what is it? Their mercenaries got creamed on Saturday. Yeah. And they've been running airstrikes on Houthi positions. Right.

So what is it talking about? Why don't they want to take this on? That's the thing. They have been, oh, you mean, why don't they put round because they've been running terror attacks. They just don't have the capabilities, maybe. Oh, they've been paying mercenaries. Yeah.

I mean, human is bigger than all of the Gulf states combined. Yeah, Yemen's huge. I've been to Yemen. They've been paying mercenaries hand over fists because Saudi Arabia has, well, had a bunch of money. The mercenaries just fell apart. It's like they were just crushed. And they dispersed, it fell apart, leaving all the military equipment and everything else that Yemen got their hands on. Everything from Israel to U.S., apparently Britain or European countries, all the technology was still there.

They cleaned up. I guess I'm pointing out Saudi Arabia is attacking them by air. Oh, sure. But you and I, we all know that with the exception of Yugoslavia, you can hardly ever win a war by air power alone, right? True, but they have mercenaries on the ground for that fight also. Yeah, okay, but they clearly couldn't close the deal. I mean, I guess the question now is, what are they going to do, right? Like, I mean, if you're the Saudis, you look, you've gotten, if you don't have, you can't export oil, you've got nothing, right?

I mean, nothing. It's the entire economy, right? I mean, they don't have a high tech sector worth talking about. So, okay, so they have to be able to export their oil. And they need to do it yesterday, right? They can't go like, you know, hey, let's look for other options and five years from now will be okay. Like, that's not going to happen. So I think they have to go to war against the Houthis.

I don't think they have a choice. I mean, I know. I know, but full on, full on, ground troops, no proxy anything. Good luck with that. I want to see. They can't win, I guess is my point. They can't do it. I don't think they can do it.

These are tiny, tiny states full of princesses. Yeah. Who never got in their hands dirty a day in their life. That's exactly it. Yeah. I mean, on Saturday, J.T., I bet you saw it, JT. I mean, the Houthis, they released video of hundreds of Pakistanis surrendering that, they had their hands on their, on their heads, that all these humbies, all this equipment.

And evidently, and the Iranians, I guess, they made a cartoon about it. It's freaking hilarious. Let's see if I could find it. Oh, the legal cartoon. Yeah, because they had this, they had this Pakistani calling, begging for air support. And then an American A-10 Warhog flies over with the. better. You're doing great. That was that was your air support. Like a beach ad plane.

Yeah. It's just like here you go. Like everything's going to be fine. And it's like no. You're doing so like MBS is not thinking everything else is going to be fine. There's something else also that if I got to know. By the way, if you look at a map, there's just like no options at all for the Saudis, right? Their only option as far as I'm concerned would be to start sucking Jordanian cock and try to export via Jordan and Israel. That's it. They didn't contact Israel for help, apparently. Yeah, but they'll be for it. They need a pipeline through Jordan. I would like to point out something else that I didn't get to say on my show that I was right.

I was totally right about the Emeka Accords. Those people were like, Pakistan and Egypt, or Pakistan and, what's it, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Turk, Pakistan, or Turkey are going to get into the war. And I'm like, No, I don't see that. And the reason why I didn't see it is because I thought that would go beyond Article 5 of even a NATO clause. Like meaning NATO, the idea that Donald Trump, let's say, gets into war with the war with Iran. Well, the idea that Iran, they get the U.S. gets into fight with Iran and then go to Europe and say, hey, help me out NATO countries. They're going to tell the U.S. F off.

You started a war. You can't now come to us to get assistance for the war. situation. You didn't get attacked. Well, but that's the exact same situation that Pakistan was in, right? I'm sorry that Saudi Arabia started a war. Saudi Arabia can't go to Pakistan

and Turkey and say, hey, help me fight the Houthis. They could and they're going to pass, which is what they did. It's like, you were already in the war. Yeah, Pakistan, that's not where their politics are right now. I mean, you know, I don't know if you saw this, but it's very interesting like Pakistan and and India and China are kind of getting close to a

Kashmir accord for the first time we'll see at least they're talking about it that's where their minds that's where that's where their heads at that's all I'm put it this way they're not they're not looking to go to war with with anyone yeah Ted just with the war Ted take a look at the at the chat I just drop that video for a play for the oh go ahead put it on you want it you want to put it I'm put it as way. I'm very skeptical about Pakistan and India doing anything together. Oh, of course.

Always. Yeah. But China's the driving force here. I mean, you know, hell, I mean, we had such a busy news day here that we're not even talking about the big bricks meeting. Which now, you know, bricks was something that like at the station, we were like the only game in town covering it, right? Like nobody cared about bricks. Now on NPR, it's on CBS. It's like everybody sees what's coming.

what's coming. I mean, you know, it's like if, you know, basically, if you tune into our old shows from five years ago, you can see what today's news was going to look like. And, you know, but it's, it's a big deal, right? I mean, it's like now the, the hegemon has woken up. You mean, we need air support. Sorry, JT. Oh, that's hilarious. Huh? Yeah. We need air support. We need air support. We need air support. Yeah. I didn't know. not made to cover up your noodle there, J.T.

Marco Rupio was given a speech. And Michael Rube was like in those stupid Lego videos, which made me realize it's getting under their skin. Yeah. It's getting under their skin. That video is hilarious. Oh, well, they're all great. They're so good.

We need to have support. We need to have support. I'm a little bit annoyed because the company that makes them, I was talking to them about coming on to the show. And they were going to, and then they were going to. And then they just sort of like, I think they're just, I don't know, they probably just aren't looking for the PR. It's hilarious. The stuff they do is hilarious.

I mean, the video that they did on when Iran attacked the U.S. warships. And they had like one of their ships getting attacked. And then they call in the Iranians and the missile is angry. It's like an angry ready missile. It's like this badass Iranian with sunglasses looks at the guy and the guy looks at him. Oh, it's great. So good. So good.

More comments, Makkadin, Saudi defense is either to buy off the attacker or hire the Americans. Most of their army are Pakistani. That's true. They are, I mean, basically, they don't do anything themselves, man. They don't wipe their own asses. Sass and Polar. Yeah, exactly. But, you know, mercenaries are not in, they're only in it for the cash.

They're not going to fight to the debt. Exactly. The moment they're like this at stake. We're out. They're like, yeah, see ya. It's the difference between fighting for your land versus fighting for money, says Sassanholah. and power for artificial Gulf monarchs, thanks for the fiber. Yeah, that's that's right.

If you're a mercenary, we're good as money if you're too cold to spend it. That's true. Jackson, besides Umra and Haj, that's second earnings of Saudi. Yeah. Yeah, well, that's true. But oil is their main thing. They honestly, if I'm MBS, I'm seriously, I'm seriously talking to the Hashemite kingdom. I'm saying, we need a pipeline.

you know but that's going to take years if the jordanians agreed which i don't think they would because the jordanians want to be you know maintain some semblance of neutrality they're not going to want to hitch their wagon to the Saudis in that way well wouldn't his belugate a vote then too because there's nothing to stopping for blowing it up well that's exactly right not to mention jordan's half the half the battle but then it has to go through israel and i would say Israel is not really a safe zone for a pipeline. You know, I mean, it's got to go through territory. You know, it's within drone range of Hamas and Hezbollah, right?

Yeah, and this will range of Iran. I mean, there's always been talk of a trans-Jordan Israel pipeline, but it's never come to pass. And that was in the past before October 7th, right? I got to be honest. I don't know why Saudi Arabia thought the pipeline was safe anyway. I mean, the moment... Not to mention it wouldn't have enough capacity.

No pipeline would have enough capacity. to replace the tanker. Right. The day. I remember the day they were like, well, we have this other pipeline where we can move this through. And I thought to myself,

that pipeline is unlimited. That is a limited life. It's kind of like, well, the Houthis watch TV too. Right. Yeah. Well, that's the other interesting part. Saudi Arabia is blaming the Iraq's

popular mobilization force. They're trying to say that, well, these groups in Iraq did it. These groups in Iraq did it. Now, in the normal service, circumstances, people own what they blow up. Like when they blow something, I'm just like, we did it. With the warriors of Allah, we did it.

Right. Nobody to credit for this, which makes me think, okay, this seems like a false flat. Now, if the Houthis did it, Houthis would have just said, we did it. And I suspect they probably did it. The popular mobilization force, though, is what Iraq is blaming for this, which is wild to me. The United States is supposed to leave Iraq at the end of the month? Is this just them trying to come up with some justification? mistake. Well, hey, we need help. I don't think the Iraqis have that, have enough range,

right, to, to hit that thing with any accuracy at that, you know, the Houthis are much closer. Yeah, well, there's Saudi Arabia is blaming, um, an Iraqi government, if I'm not mistaken, is blaming the population force. And again, they say they didn't do it, which I believe them. I mean, yeah, I mean, look, it's possible, but I, I'm, yeah, if I had to put my chips down, I'd say I'm, I'm betting that it's the Houthis. Um, I mean, they'd say, um, I'm betting that it's the Houtis. Yeah, the Houthis, you're right, they usually take credit for things. Yeah, or just the credit to stuff. I mean, I don't know if they even ask one way to the other about the pipeline,

but Saudi Arabia clearly is blaming somebody else, which is interesting. NSA, you know, we should talk about that. We don't have to, whatever. I mean, we talk about whatever, but I mean, so the NSA is going through internal restructuring. They're based in Fort Meade, Maryland. and they are believed to have about 30,000 employees. They're bigger than the CIA. And so the head is Joshua Rudd.

He wants to create five new organizations. And here they are for inside the agency. These would all be directorates, right? Individual directorates. One for AI. One for China. One for cybersecurity. One for combat support or war fighting,

one of my least favorite words, and one for global intelligence. Now, I'm not an NSA expert, but I have to admit I don't really kind of understand some of these. First of all, isn't combat support or war fighting not really an NSA job, right? The NSA charter is primarily signals intelligence, and it's supposed to be to intercept foreign communications,

and to collect intelligence, and in some cases, communications with between the United States and foreign countries. But when they scoop up data from the United States is supposed to be like an accident, and in many cases it's supposed to be returned. Now, we know from Ed Snowden that none of that is true, and that they scoop up everything, everything that every American does every single day, right? But that's the theory behind it. But this just sort of seems like they're really kind of doubling down on the domestic side of thing and getting involved in stuff.

I mean, there's already a DIA. There's already a defense intelligence agency. It's kind of like what is the, the NSA is like seems to be really spreading its influence inside the intelligence bureaucracy. I mean, it seems to me like this is a big spreading octopus of control within the what they call the intelligence community. It is. I mean, any organization tends to They tend to spread They tend to gain more power

What they are tends to evolve I mean, I think you're right I think it's just true You have all of these parts of the organization They're like we need to diversify Even though it's still within the same umbrella And as you point out, there's still the DIA The CIA, the

Add in The Maps agency, right? There's like 16 total or something Yeah, there's like agencies for some of everything. Like they've spread it out like an occupist all through all the American society and keep track of what Americans do. At some point, they're going to have cameras everywhere. And at some point, the NSA is going to be able to watch cameras and have AI to track

a person down all throughout the world, all throughout the U.S. Like, we need to be. Obama recently came out saying we need to have a, that Democrats need to focus on AI. I think Obama is full of shit on this. By the same token, he's not entirely wrong. It's just the focus doesn't need to be on AI at the moment. needs to be on making sure people can eat and stopping the wars. That's exactly what I thought when I saw Obama talking about that, like, oh, Democrats

should prioritize that in their campaigning. Yeah, not if they want to win. Yeah. I mean, the idea of people struggling to buy food because things have gone up so much, or buy gas, because things have so much. And Democrats come on and says, we need to have a clear conversation on the economy. I'm sorry, on AI, our bad. Okay, good luck with that.

Well, it's not a huge exclusive. And I'm not Obama's biggest fan, obviously. I think that's pretty obvious. But the two are related. And here's why. As AI gets more and more powerful, as more and more data centers go up, as the capabilities go up, more and more jobs are going to vanish. So for the economy, that then introduces the concept of a UBI.

Because at that point, it's not going to be you're too stupid to work. You know, get off the couch, job welfare. and go get a job, the jobs physically are not going to exist. No, I accept it, Robbie. But no, but that's how Obama should have marketed it, though. But that's not the way he marketed it. He's talking about purely from standpoint of policy, and I suspect it's related to the call from Anthropics AI guy,

who's, let's be honest, doesn't give a shit about you, your life, humanity, or human existence. What he cares about is China is beating our ass in AI. They put up, they're spending a fraction of what we're spending, And the main AI things that people use are Chinese. Well, also, Anthropic is winning the race against Open AI and some of these other companies. So, of course, it's very convenient once you're ahead to say, you know, guys, we all need now.

We all need to slow down. Yeah. We need to set the rules for the road. And we need to get China on board. This is not about them caring about your life. This is him caring about his profits and the entire profit model that they, been running under has just been called you know and my Johnson just said Congress ain't gonna do shit and it would don't and it's only Congress that would

regulate have the power to regulate AI this way right and why don't do that because from his point of view we're capitalist country it's about making profit and these companies are gonna make a huge amount of profit and we don't necessarily want to be involved in regulating they can figure out on their own from his standpoint he's right this is not a state controlled economy I wish it were but it's not. I know, but even within the context of it not being a state-controlled economy, there's still rules that were written for whether it was rail, whether it was airlines, whether it was any random thing, government got involved and saying, okay, these are the rules of the road.

Well, the rail construction was literally the Wild West, right? Yeah, but the moment they're coming in trains, it changed. I guess what I don't. I'm trying to make the point of, it is important in regards to regulation. the government should have some level of regulation, even though I don't even know what they would look like right now. And I suppose the government doesn't either. But do we really want AI companies writing the rules? I mean, mind you, what they're using this for is going to be military.

We need drones and be able to fly like this. We need people to be able to be found like this. We need, et cetera, et cetera. These are things that are going to be militaristic in the way that they use them. Robbie is right that these things are also going to end up taking jobs, which is going to hasten this idea of. of mass unemployment. But at the moment, the United States is funding two wars,

is waging economic war across the globe, and is rudderless? Is this really what we want to talk about? The solution, I mean, I don't think, look, I think it's ridiculous to think that you can control any technology. Once the genie's out of the bottle, that's it, right? It's going to, you know, if you're not doing it, It's sort of like that Chinese scientist who cloned a human being.

And it was like, and even China was like, now you weren't supposed to do that. You've been a very bad boy. But, you know, now that technology is out, right? And it's like, you're just not going to be able to control that. You're not going to be able to stop it. I mean, I think that if Democrats had any brains, which we know they don't, what they would say, like, what we need to do is it's like, it's like climate change. You can't reverse it, but you can manage it. Like you can put, you know, for example, New York Harbor, you can put a big, you know, floodgate in New York Harbor to prevent New York City from being washed away in a hurricane, in a class category six, you know, hurricane in the future.

You can manage AI the result. You can say, okay, we need a UBI to pay people to sit at home and do other things because when you lose their jobs. That's what forward-looking opposition party would do. By the way, I should point out that the New York Times, just had all their analysts look at the midterms. And currently, they're forecasting that both the House and the Senate go to the Democrats. I'm still skeptical about the Senate. But forecasted that like a month ago.

Yeah. But in a model, and I say model because models don't necessarily have to be accurate. But my reasoning was Donald Trump is going to be on the ballot in both the House and Senate races. Yeah, and that's not. That's not good for the Republicans. It is not. He's sitting at like a 30% approval rating. And so it's like, okay, when the election,

comes up and people are going to be like, my lives are harder, my lives are more miserable. Who are they going to blame? They're going to blame Trump. And whoever is running as a Republican, they're going to say, okay, well, you pretty much gave field an allegiance to this guy. And he never even, I mean, you know, the thing is, I have always said this in 2016, Trump's, you know, superpower was not that he had any solutions to our problems, but he could see them. He could look out the window of his limo in Dayton, Ohio, and drive by the closed factories in the boarded up, you know, row houses and say, you know what, you guys must be living like shit. I see that.

I'm really sorry about it. I'm going to, you know, I'll make it all better. Now, you know, that's, that Donald Trump is gone. He doesn't see it anymore. He doesn't want to talk about it. He says the economy is doing great. I mean, literally, that's the worst political malpractice you can commit is when people are feeling unhappy about the economy to tell them that they're wrong.

I mean, even if they were wrong. You don't say that, right? Don't tell people, you know, hey, it's, you know, as, as Robbie would say, don't piss in my sink and tell me it's raining, right? Like, just basically do not fucking, you know, don't tell me when I'm feeling broke that I'm not broke. Yeah, don't gas like. And by the way, the American people are broke. I mean, it's like, I know that I'm paying more money for gas. I know that I'm paying more. Their savings rate has declined. That is a measure. That is a, that is demonstrable fact. And he doesn't care when I order. That's going to translate into electoral law. Yeah, even just talking about his ballroom and all that shit, the arch, that's just a bad look. I mean, it's because it's all distraction.

But here in Montana, Montana is deep red. Ted, you've been here. Montana is a deep red, very, very family-centered libertarian state. And Trump has managed to lose Montana on two issues. the cost of you know i was just in ohio and argentine beef the fact that trump goes out says those argentinians are dying and meanwhile you got the you've got people around a jordan montana jordan is a population about 700 people it's a ranch in town yeah they're dead the town is totally dead like what the hell about i was just in ohio over the weekend ohio which became a red state under Donald Trump.

You know, it's now there are anti, that fuck Donald Trump bumper stickers on the gas tanks, on the gas pumps in deep red like hillbilly parts of Ohio, like Appalachia, right? Now, that's not notable. Anyone can put a sticker anywhere. What's notable is nobody tried to pick him off. Right. Nobody crossed him over. You know, the gas station attendants don't try to pick them on.

They've been there for a while. I'm like, he's lost Ohio. Sherry Brown is going to win. Well, it seems like he's going to lose Texas also. Yeah, that's crazy, too. Yeah. But that's my point. That's what, like, from my point of view, it's like, he's on the ballot.

He's always on the ballot. He's ubiquitous. He's everywhere. Like, you can't get away from him. And so when you're going to the voting polls, regardless of who the Republican is, you see Trump. He's everywhere. All right. That's it for this morning's show.

Always fun. Thank you, Robbie. Thank you, J.T. We'll be back in two. hours for the Q&A show at 12 noon Eastern time looking forward to that just to change in schedule TMI show is now switching starting this week to Tuesdays and Thursdays only for the live show but you can still tune in to YouTube a Rumble for clips so no TMI live today but we are going to there will be new content to look at so it's just I'll be yeah I'll be pushing clips

throughout today and stuff and you rumble like I I can just flood his own role, but I don't care. YouTube, you got to kind of guide up to babybird it or their algorithm goes crazy. So I'll be hooking you all right. Wait, is that going to be going forward or just for this month? That's going forward. No. Why don't?

Okay. Okay. Because I guess from my point of view, we could do this show for two hours and do TMI. That's not a bad. That's not a terrible idea at all. Okay. That's a different conversation, different conversation. Okay, yeah, no, I like it.

Okay. Or we go an hour and a half or whatever. Okay. Well, it's supposed to doing the Q&A. Like, meaning... Oh, right. We just do two hours on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Yeah.

Well, no, I was just saying Monday through Friday, just two-hour show. Well, or Monday, Wednesday, Friday, because we're still doing, we're still doing TMI on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Oh, right, right. So, okay, so Monday and Wednesday is it a two-hour show. Monday, Wednesday, which would be the Q&A back-to-back. yeah we can do that I mean there's a lot to be said for that yeah and TMI's not dying I'm some people in the chat's like oh my God

team I's not we're not dying risk so here's the so here's the boring stuff no one wants to see so the whole reason TMI was viable was because there's a member of the Rumble crater program so Rumble was paying the bills Rumble blew that up so it doesn't matter if you have 1,000 watch hours or 10,000 watch hours on Rumble anymore you get paid a whopping 160 bucks that's it that's all that you make that's it rumble is dead basically rumble has completely screwed us and so be quick because we got to wrap it up here yeah so i know what they're doing they're moving to a pay to play thing but that's why we're basically tmi we're making the pivot over to

youtube we have to build inventory because we've been so rumble focused that it just doesn't it's not viable on youtube right now so we're going to be focusing more on like basically um you know trying there's on youtube the focus on live streams, it's just not there in the same way when you're not. And also, this show has 30,000 followers. You know, TMI doesn't. So hopefully we can build up the YouTube audience, but we'll see. Well, tell Manila, I said hi. We shall. You guys have a good one. All right. I'll see you in a couple hours. Okay, bye. Bye, bye, y'all.
