Democrat Told Mitch McConnell IS DEAD, Governor Says He Got The Call | Timcast IRL For advertising inquiries please email [e-mail]

Democratic governor says Mitch McConnell's dead. He said he got a call just before McConnell released a statement from, I believe it was two individuals, two calls, that Mitch McConnell had passed away. Nobody has seen him. There's a photo, which is purportedly proof of life. So it's hard to know exactly what's going on. It's hard to believe that Mitch McConnell actually is dead, to be completely honest or that he's passed away.

I'm not trying to be insensitive. But with Lindsey Graham, they just came out and said it. And then everyone started pushing conspiracies that got blown up in Ukraine. If Mitch McConnell was dead, they'd probably just come out and say it. I suppose the concern is with South Carolina, they knew they were going to be able to replace Lindsey Graham with the Republican. So bang, you get his sister. However, Governor Beshear is a Democrat and he would replace Mitch McConnell with a Democrat,

which would not be good for the Republican Party right now. So it gives them all the reason to just pretend that Mitch McConnell is still alive or at the bare minimum. He is on the most extreme of life support, not entirely sure, but the Democratic. Democrats are claiming he has passed. In other news, we are currently under attack from Canada. That's right. Donald Trump is threatening tariffs on Canada because of the wildfire smoke. And I just, when I heard this started busting out laughing, like, bro, what is Canada supposed to do? They're on fire. Trump's like, if you don't deal with this smoke, we're going to tear a few. And Canada's like, what? It's like, imagine your neighbor's house is burning down. So you were yelling at them because the

smoke was negatively impacting your family. I mean, it is. But their house is on fire. Like, put the fire out. I think that's funny. It is a big threat, though, to the finals for the World Cup, which will be in New York. Guys, I got to tell you, today was pretty dang nuts. The smoke out here, we're in West Virginia. You can see it. Everything, it's just, it looks like fog outside. And it smells like burning plastic.

In fact, in our studio building, we're fortunate that we have a big building with a little building inside a big building. So this studio is one room inside a smaller building. building, is that a bigger building, which keeps us safe from the smoke, but outside of the internal structure in the warehouse, it's burning your eyes. It's that bad. And I know many of you are living in it, because we all live here on the East Coast, but we'll talk about that and a whole lot more.

It's just served hard, fast, and that's what happens. I like to imagine that we shot you over your continued efforts to change the weather for

witchcraft. I feel like you would have said, like, I could stop this bullet, and we were like, we were like, let's find out. Yeah. They say that you become the demon you hate, so maybe my obsession with the king brought this on. Indeed. Well, my friends, check it out. It's at the merch section at Timcast.com. Smash the like button. Share the show right now. Joining us tonight. Talk about this and everything else. We've got Dylan Hausman. Hey guys, Dylan Hausman. I'm the managing editor currently at the Daily Wire. Started there in the beginning of March. Before that, I was at the Daily Caller. I was the editor-in-chief. Before that was a reporter. Covered the State Department. Did a little bit of everything in conservative media. But now at the Wire, love and life. Right on. Well, and of course,

the boys are hanging out. They were already rambling. Happy to do this. What up? Be it's up everybody. Smokey outside. Here's the news. We got this from Wilkie. That's the news source. It's W-L-K-Y-C-B-S-Bashir says he received calls that Mitch McConnell passed before he released statement. I mean, this is pretty wild.

The story popped off today. It's getting picked up and repeated all throughout the day. Governor Andy Bashir is sharing more insight. The Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell was hospitalized June 14th after a fall in his home. It has been a month. and then he was treated for a case of pneumonia. In his statement, McConnell said, I was briefly unconscious and taken to the hospital while receiving excellent care of the past several weeks. I've also to deal with the mild case of pneumonia.

Since his hospitalization, Governor Andy Bashir has called for the center to be more forthcoming about his condition. In an interview with Katie Couric, Bashir said before McConnell released his statement, he received two calls from different agencies suggesting McConnell had passed. Bashir added that McConnell's statement was needed as his constituents deserved to know what was going on. The governor has also urged McConnell to call into a news station to offer more transparency of the situation. I'm going to go ahead and say I do believe Mitch McConnell has passed away because, and this also, yes, I am saying many people are lying.

Mitch McConnell could easily just get on the phone. He could just get on the phone. He could make it, you could make a video. He could be like, hey, everybody, you know, something could film. When they do this stuff, it's just not confidence building. I will say, I don't know for sure. and I honestly would not be surprised if in like a week or two McConnell's back

and they're like, oh, it was fake news because these kinds of stories happen all the time. Yeah, it is weird. It's like with the, what was it, the Ayatollah's son then just disappeared and they said his legs were blown off and maybe he was that. I still haven't heard a word from that guy. I haven't seen him, huh?

Yeah. So it's obviously maybe, you know, Mitch McConnell's also incapacitated in some fashion and would wake up in a week from like a coma, a medically induced coma. Who knows? I think he's in China. You think he fled finally?

I think that he was a Chinese, agent and when everyone said that his wife had gone to China, I think that was actually Mitch McConnell in disguise and he is currently in China. Yeah, you pointed out, Dylan, that he was, his wife went to China right when the news broke. I'm not sure what the timeline on that was. Yeah, she was, I think she might have been there right before he got hospitalized or then went like the day after. It was right around and the days around. And then she stayed there, I believe, if I'm not mistaken. Which is kind of weird. It's almost like she did something that could have caused him to become hospitalized and then left in time, but probably not.

Almost. She was there. She never came back. Mitch actually split, dressed up like... You know when they really messed up is when they, everybody put out, there was like a week or two past, everybody's asking questions, what's going on? And then suddenly, everybody that's ever known Mitch McConnell puts out a statement and it's like, I just talked to him. And there's like 20 different people saying they had the same conversation with him like that, you know, before I wasn't that on guard about it. I was like, whatever, it's probably nothing here. But then suddenly when everybody's putting out the same statement,

Oh, he's doing great. We just talked to him. That was a little bit weird, maybe a misstep. Totally. Scott Jennings put out the original comment of like, I called him. He's an old friend. And then people started mocking Scott Jennings by being like, I just called him too. I don't believe Scott Jennings.

That would be a huge lie for Scott Jennings. I've never seen him put his credentials on the line. That's fair point. It's just why not be like, hey, Mitch, let's do a quick 15 second thing. I'll call you and we'll just say, hey, what's up? And then Mitch could have been like, hey, how's it going? I'm a little under the weather. Got pneumonia.

and then Scott could have been like, hey, you know, glad you're all right. For the fans. If they showed him in that state, though, it would have made, I think it would have made things. That's kind of what I was thinking. It's like Biden's debate moment. Once you see it, it's like, 100 times worse. Mitch McConnell running for re-election? Lord to help us.

Yeah, that's, I think the elephant in the room, which came up before we went live, is that if he does die, the governor appoint somebody or and then could appoint literally a Democrat to the Senate. I guess he's, like, famously known for not being in the greatest of shape. Yeah, he's not seeking re-election in 2026. He's retiring. So he can just come out and be like, look, I'm old. You know what? I just can't take any of this.

I can't stand it. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to be on this show and I'm going to be like 70. I'm going to go, guys, I'm out. I'm 70. I think that's the line. I'm going to go, I'm going to go drink some sun tea on the porch in a rocking chair and watch my grandchildren play with the dog.

You're going to do that, but then you're going to see something on the news the next day that pisses you off. Nope. Not happening. Rant about it. I'm going to rant to the dog. I'm going to be like, come here, Rufus.

I talk about the dog's name is Rufus. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. last night about like being able to analyze yourself in the whole big picture of reality and like choosing for yourself what is right, what it should be done, what you, and override what you want. Override your desires and your animalistic attractions and like do what you must, according to the analytics analysis, like if you have to retire. Like make yourself retire. But you know, I do want to give a shout to Mitch McConnell and many of our members of Congress and, you know, the Senate.

You know, no one, no one in any sector anywhere is as good as money management of these guys. I mean, just imagine like you're getting paid a salary of 174K a year and you manage to turn it into 50 million. That is impressive. Not Lindsey Graham. Love of the game. Yeah, just love of the game, huh? It was only worth like $4 million or something. I think it was even less than that.

Yeah, and it was probably mostly his house. But it does make you wonder. What is he blowing his money on? I think you said the word. I mean, maybe. He was boozing, he was a boozer. Hoppers? He was just drinking it all.

I don't want to talk. Is it too fresh to postulate maybe prostitutes? I mean, you're welcome to do that if you want. It's not too soon. I don't know, I didn't know, Lindsay. I really wanted to interview that. He was a 71-year-old bachelor. It was funny.

There's a funny meme where somebody posted, I won't celebrate anybody's death. This man was somebody's father, somebody's husband. somebody's partner and then someone commented like the dude had no family somebody was somebody's brother somebody had a sister brother and by the way that's a U.S. Senator Trump them appointing his freaking

did she have any political experience I don't know anything about her sister got appointed like the most nepotistic bizarre she's run before she hasn't won but she's a songwriter she writes books she's just an angry citizen and now she'll be an angry senator a lot of songwriters running for office suddenly I don't think Ian knows gets the reference

well you've the video you just played oh okay I don't think we played it on the story. We'll get to that one. I think everybody's seeing that one. Fox covered it for two hours. That's all they talked to. Slow news day.

Yeah, slow news day. I mean, the world's on fire. It was ridiculous, though. I mean, it was comedy. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. It's like about Iran and the world being on fire. If you read 1984, the whole book is all, your country is at war overseas with an unknown,

unnamed opponent. And then one day. It's like. Eurasia. We've always been a war with your name. And then all of a sudden it would be like, we've never been at war with Eurasia. We've always been at war with North Africa. With East Asia.

Really? Yeah. And then they like rewire everyone's brain. I read it, kind of. So then the people just retcon reality right in front of them. And then they get them to repeat the retcon. And then you're like, yes, we've all, we've never been at war. You know, I don't understand why the government doesn't just create a bad guy.

You know, like something easy and digestible. And they could, like a, like the Legion of Doom. They had Osama. No, no, no. But like, like, like, they could be like, oh, it's the Legion of Doom. and we chased after them in Iraq and wiped out their henchmen, but they relocated to Iran and, oh, boy, we better get them. That was Cobra commander, Cobra.

What are they called predictive programming? They had all the kids in the 80s ready for a terrorist war in the 90s. The cobra was real. Cobra was from G.I. Joe? Cobra was real. It was a real cartoon character. No, Cobra was real. G.I. Joe was real.

Yeah, that's possible, too. Yeah, Snake Eye is a real guy. They got us ready to hunt. The Marines, they got ninjas. The Taliban and ISIS. They're like just like cobra Was the other guy It was snake eyes and the

Storm Shadow Yeah yeah that was Storm Shadow Yeah that was Storm Shadow Yeah the white ninja Yeah the white ninja storm shit It's funny how Storm Shadow Was the white ninja But he was a member of Cobra

And Snake Eyes was the guy that were black It's right Those are my two favorite Joe Zartan was one of my favorites too Yeah Cheshesh GIFE GI Joe Did you have the other ones too

Tomax and Zaymont Yes I did You had the vehicle I had a lot of them I had a lot of the vehicles They had like a car that could become a hovercraft, I think. Didn't Megatron turn the toy turn into a gun?

Yes. Yeah, I remember a kid, so I wasn't in time of show, but I remember a kid got in trouble at school. Really? Because he had a Megatron, and he folded it and turned into a gun and started pointing it at people. And we were like, stop doing that. They take it from him?

I think they told his parents, I'd not a lot of him bring the toy gun to school and point of people. You know, now they... We used to have those little plastic guns and you'd put the paper caps in them. I remember that, it was like a little cylinder. Oh, yeah. And then when you pull the trigger, it would... A cap gun.

Yeah, cap gun. My dad wanted to get us guns as a kid, but my mom wouldn't let... Like real guns? No, like, ta-t-ta-ta-ta-ta-tot-tah-tah-machine. Oh, the toys? Light up, I had one of those. And my mom's like, no, I don't want them playing with guns. Could you imagine if you were only raised by a woman?

This is what happens with, like, single... And it's not like women are bad. It's just that it's an incomplete. Oh, okay. Yeah, but my dad worked for 48 hours, then he'd be home for 24. Yeah. It was kind of like I had a dad, but also I had to learn how to live without one. What was he doing that was working for 48 hours?

There's a fireman for 24 and then you work at the hospital. Oh, okay. Bone technician. I became an actor. They gave me an Atari when I was four. They do 24-hour shifts. Yeah. So they're on for 24-hour straight.

You show up at night and go to bed. That's kind of weird that they do that. I guess it's because they don't want gaps. I knew this one guy who did like 72 hours and then who was off for three days. Is a fireman? Seems unsafe. I think it was more than management. You get to sleep though, right?

Yeah, but mostly what they're doing is they're just. hanging out, they cook dinner, and you're waiting for the calls. And a lot of it's ambulance assist stuff. A lot of this, just changing the channel on the TV. And that's why a lot of them are fat. Yeah, that's unacceptable. They would train. They did like pull up.

They would challenge each other to pull up competitions and stuff to stay in shape. They should do carrying injured women contests. Modern women. Yeah. Yeah, like big, large women. We're going to get injured. Bro, that's over. Oh, yeah.

We're done. Body positivity's gone. Thank God. Yeah. But, um, I just brought up Cobra because I was concerned about the insurance. The insurance agency. I mean, that's kind of, literally, that's kind of what Al-Qaeda was, though. Totally.

Like on insurance. No, yes, they were insurance. They were actually trying to sell us insurance. I don't know if it was. That's why they flew the planes into the, into the, uh, the U.S. I get it with like bin Laden, but they could just make up, like the U.S. could just make a supervillain group, you know, and Americans, would believe it, especially with all the Marvel stuff.

Call it the Axis of Evil. But I think that, you know, they could call it the syndicate. And then Trump can be like, oh, no, the syndicate they're in Iran and we got to blow them up. Oh, oh, no, they're in China now. They've got to go in China. What are we going to do? Don't we call that narco-terrorists? Aren't we kind of doing that already?

Yeah. Yeah, but they're not definable, you know? Like, you can make a cool logo. And then what you do is you do like an Iron Man 3, you have a guy make a video, and he posted on the internet. and he's like, America. And then Trump's like, we're going to get you. And then, I mean, I got to be honest, I think that would work really well.

I think people would buy it. Trump's trying to do it honestly, though. As honest as you can be like, the killer in chief. Yeah, the commander of the military. Yeah, he's trying to do it like on the level. Can I just, can we just stop to pause and think about how psychotic it is that ABC and NBC did not carry a speech by the president? Do you see the statement they made?

They were like, we will not be broadcasting the speech because the president is. is going to mislead the American people. And it's like, Oh, it's back to that stuff, huh? Yeah, it's nuts. The House notes. You said something like more viewers for me, basically. Like, it's, you know, it's kind of...

Well, they're making themselves irrelevant. Yeah, I actually don't hate that they didn't do it. Because, like, who's tuning in to NBC and ABC to get their news at this point anyways? Like, those people are already sunk. They're gone. They're so... Yeah, so, like, you know, what differences make? People can watch...

Maybe that was... Maybe that was a calculated decision. They're like, look, if we change our programming, the few viewers... that we have are going to tune away. The people that are actually interested in this are going to be watching on the internet likely. Well, no, they're probably going, CNN also did like a commentary coverage.

They're probably saying our audience hates Trump and won't watch it. We will lose all our viewers if we cover this. It's probably sure. Yeah, they're just like, oh, why cover it? Let's jump to this in the post-millennial. Speaking about these Republican senators who are out, we have this attempt

at replacing Democrat senators. And I got to tell you, with the loss of Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, and now Graham Platner, I, you know, I'll be serious. It's not looking good. It's not. Trans-Main Senate candidate, Ashley Webb, says his songwriting makes him qualified for office.

Okay. All right. Here we go. When asked, what makes you qualified to be a senator? Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but he didn't for run. And then I'm a songwriter. And then I write my own books.

And then I suppose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to the people and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. Like we get lied. Smoked, smoking mirrors like what's going on with ice. And I suppose the biggest thing is like I'm just an angry citizen now. And if I got elected, I'd be an angry senator. Oh, I ran for office several times.

You got my vote. I endorse Ashley Webb. And I'll tell you why, whatever that was, it is better than the establishment cronial. Democrats. And I would rather have a, as I would describe, mentally incapable senator on the Democrat side, as opposed to a ruthless and conniving senator on the Democrat side. And prove me wrong. I'm trying to think of how to do that. But it's, yes, it seems like Ashley would. I hate the stick, but it's right. That would be an anchor around the neck of the party. when he

he was like I'm gonna say he because he's a man that's a trans woman said I'm not gonna deceive you like you're being deceived right now I'm like you know are you deceiving me like what you there's only one thing I thought of when I saw this and do you know who that was what

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard at no point in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought Everyone watching this video is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

What a great movie. So this is what Democrats are. This is one of the individuals running as a Democrat. And you know what? I'm for it. Oh, wait, there's more. I want to see a debate. Mashelieu.

I'm from Farmerton, Maine. The biggest thing I'd like to get across is that we need unity. whoever wins this nomination. We need to show up at the polls. We need to vote for them, and we need to make sure they win the matter what, because what's going on in this country is not right.

With the immigration and immigrants are being targeted, they're being rounded up like animals. It's not acceptable to allow this to go on in our streets. And then with the trans community, like we're being dehumanized. They say that we want to hurt people. I don't want to hurt anybody. I just want to use the bathroom.

And if I want me to use the men's room, I will. I don't want to be assaulted. Now I'm on Tim's team. You're right. Put him into the Senate. Get him in there. He's crying. Look.

This would be the best Senate for the speech we've had in New York. Look. He's crying. Whoa. Watch. He cries. As far as like, oh, this. Yeah.

What happened in Bidford, it's unacceptable. We knew since January that what ICE has been doing with Alex. I'm not even playing. I don't, I hate all of these Democrats. This is like the least threatening Democrat politician I've ever seen. And it's one of those things where like it's like watching the Special Olympics, like bless their hearts. You know what I mean? It makes me nervous though.

That movie where they give was a Richard Pryor all the money. They're like, hey, we're going to put you at. Brewster's millions. No, no, trading spaces. Oh, Eddie Murphy. And they're like, he's so idiotic. He's just going to fail anywhere. It was Bruce's millions, right?

What? Richard Pryor was. Yeah. Richard. But where they put this like do-fit, who they think is an idiot in charge, and the same way with Dick, the president, that movie with the president, where they put this guy who looks like the president, and then he becomes so powerful

and how good at his job, that you're like, oops. No, no, no, no, no. If Ashley Webb wins and then, like, walks into the Senate in full, like the clothes that he's wearing, and then pulls the wig off and the dress, and he's wearing a suit or like a military uniform, and then

his face just curls up. No, he just gets a man, he goes, now that I men, I'm going to legislate with an iron fist. I'd be like, I'm even mad. I'm impressed, actually, you know. Look, we need more senators that cry in debate. At least they serve to show up to the polls.

Exactly. It shows what they care. Yes. It shows that they have a heart. The Democrats, man. Yeah, no hay on it. So I get asked by these liberals, Tim, would you ever consider voting for a Democrat? I'm like, which one? The, the fat guy crying dresses a woman who says, I want to run for office so I can use a bathroom?

Or the corrupt politicians who are just paid off by major corporations and are saying whatever they're told to say. Give me the fat guy that has to pee. This is like part of it. I'm not even getting it though. Like I can relate to that more. Like I just want to go to the bathroom.

I'm like, you know, I feel that. Like sometimes I'm at a store and there's like, there's no bathroom available. I'm at 7-Eleven. I've had a bathroom. I just want to use a bathroom. They're like, yeah, it needs a key and some guy stole the key

and I can't, now I can't go. You come to me and say, I'll make it so you can use a bathroom when you got to go. I'll be like, at least that affects me in a positive way. I had to pee so bad that my teeth started to hurt. Did that ever happen to you guys?

No. No, I can't say it has. Never. It did, yeah. It's really my gums. They start to swell. That's even more smell. I think something's wrong with your heart.

Only one I have to pee. Yeah, you got to let that out. Have you seen a physician about that? No, I just pee. I just let it out. It's blood pressure. At night, are your ankles swollen? Only if I don't pee enough.

If I have too much salt. That means your heart is failing. No, no, I'm good. I have gone through phases of overly sodium. But remember, we had that guest on that was talking about peeing being like actually the main function of urination is to lower

blood pressure. It's blood pressure related. It's not about like getting the toxins out. It's more about blood pressure. Like 90% of it's about reducing blood pressure. I think I think Ian would also do well to run for the Democrat Senate. That's where I'm going to. I just could you imagine Ian being up there and they're like, why are you qualified to be in the Senate?

I can change the weather. No, no, no. He just says, well I think that when you're urinating, it's not about releasing the toxins. It's about blood pressure. And I think a lot of people don't get it. But sometimes my gums hurt when I have to pee real bad, people are going to be like, you know, I'm going to vote for that guy. He seems honest. He's kind of just too honest.

At least we're learning something. Yeah, we are. I didn't say it was something you wanted to learn, but we're learning. I would run for the Democratic Party. Please do. Please do. This is kind of the op-working, though, because we're talking, like you were saying, like we're talking about this person and the person that's actually going to win

is going to be like a complete communist. Well, yeah. You think this person is a complete communist? Come on. Yeah, but they're not going to win. The real communists, we're not going to run. And literally, no matter what question you get asked, you should turn it into why you support Israel. So they'll just be like, what do you think about American tax policy?

I think we should pay more taxes to support Israel. That's right. That's right. What about climate change? The problem with climate change is that the weather changing is bad for the farmland and the economy of Israel. Jacob wrestled with God. Do you understand how I'll just keep referring to the Old Testament over and over? Literally every single question.

What will you do about the American? American border. Well, my principal concern is the border of Israel. Do you think that even there is any value? It'd be like he's honest. To running for office anymore? What was that? Any value to running for office?

There's a lot of monetary values. Yeah. Yeah. You want insider information so you can be rich. That's what you do. Plus, don't you get like a pension, like right away since you're elected? Oh, yeah. It's like you get elected one time and then you get paid for life, you're done. And if I understand correctly, like,

when you stay in for a certain amount of terms, you get like your full pay for the rest of your as well. I thought you get that no matter what. I think that you have to have a, I'm not sure how long it is. Did Santos get 10 years? Yes, he does.

He did. Oh. The Democrats got to put up a good candidate because I think that. Yeah, they can get, they can get taxpayer matched pension after a certain amount of time, after five years. Yeah. So one full Senate term.

Okay, so if you get elected the Senate, you get, you get lifetime pension after one term. Must be nice. I did, I think Democrats. got to put up a good candidate, not just for the health of the Democratic Party, but for everybody, because I don't want people to turn a blind eye to misgivings or in, you know, falling short in the Republican Party, like, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio, I feel like, are going to go head-to-head, and they need, like, an outside force to challenge them.

Do you see Tucker Carlson saying J.D. Vance is the greatest, and he's going to vote for him? Yeah. Was that today? There was a clip going viral where he was like, if we, if J.D. Vance was president, none of those happened. I would have voted for him, but he wasn't running. So he's basically in camp, G.D. Okay. I mean, they're friends. I mean, he's friends with Trump, too.

Was it still? I wonder if the play they're making is like, oh, no, we don't like Trump anymore. That way they're going to try and court the anti-Trump moderates. You've been talking about it quite a bit. The things that I've noticed, there are a lot of, is the people that you would, the people that J.D. Vance seemed to be trying to play Kate when he was on the Joe Rogan podcast. They're just like, oh, he doesn't go far enough. A lot of the libertarians are like, oh, you know, JD, he doesn't do enough. he's not saying that we have to cut off Israel,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then the people that you would consider like neocons normal conservatives, they're not going to vote for JD Vance. They're like, he's a groiper, you know? So it's like trying to split the difference doesn't really work. Anybody that's really enthused

and fired up about the Epstein files has already written off anybody in this admin, I feel like they're not, you can't go win them back by being, well, I still believe it. Yeah, yeah. I think that's right. That's what happened to Roecona with Israel stuff.

The crazy, the crazies thought he was not going far enough. Yeah, I'm not a Roecona fan personally, but he's been on the show and he's amicable in person. I've interviewed him before. He's a nice guy, but I think this was a, a little bit of a misstep. What was it? What did he do? He went to the West Bank and got quote unquote detained while he was in the West Bank and then started tweeting a bunch about it and going on a bunch of shows about it and complaining. Was it an actual, like, unjust? My understanding, I didn't go out of a full rabbit hole. My understanding is that the area he was trying to go in had previously been a restricted area. Everybody kind of got screened before going into it, but it wasn't restricted anymore.

But there's a line in that video where someone says, you were already stopped and told about this, something like that. Right. So it's like just a big stunt. It was a PR stunt. And it worked to some degree. People got really mad about it. But the people who were really like the most ardent anti-Israel people thought he wasn't going far enough still. So it didn't actually accomplish anything, I think.

I saw a video a long time ago, pure anecdotal of this woman, this like American girl over in Israel, like and the soldiers. were like grabbing her by the hair and throwing her around. She's like, I'm an American and they're just beating her. And like, then the video disappeared. I think that was a news anchor. That there's a worry about that. Well, maybe she shouldn't. Like, you know.

F around in a war-torn country. Like, even if they're your allies, they're still like on. No, I'm sorry. Like, I have a special place in my heart, a bias against these women who go to conflict zones. I just, I'm not interested in your feminism. I'm not interested in this like 26. to 30 year old woman wanting to go to a conflict zone, you know it's going to happen.

And it happens all the time. So it's just, it's stupid. This like, bro, I'm not even playing. Okay. Dudes go to conflict zones and they risk their lives. Women risk slavery, their lives, and substantially worse, and they're not capable of defending themselves

in the same way a man is. And so we hear these story after story about women who are like, I'm going to go report from Alger or whatever. I'm like, we know exactly what's going to happen. And it does. It's weird while like, every once in a while I'll see a video of a girl,

get up in some dude's fans. like with no fear. And he just knocks her out. Yeah, or he doesn't. And I'm like, wow, maybe she's never been knocked out by a threat. And she's just lived in this glass house her whole life. So crazy. It's because women have what's called the glass floor.

They like to talk, feminists like to talk about the glass ceiling where they're like, oh, you know, women can never be CEOs. But there's also a glass floor, meaning there are dudes at the bottom looking up in the basement at these women who are always just in the middle. And they have a base level that men don't. And then there's the elite men up top. And so there's a lot of women who go through life, never actually having experienced hardship or having to do hard work or anything like that.

And these are the women will start screaming into a dude's face. And then you watch the viral video where he just knocks her out. Guys too, for sure. But it's just weird when it's a woman. I don't know why. Because they're so delicate, like frail compared to it. Like, they're not frail, but they have internal organs that you want to preserve, like the uterus and stuff.

So I call it delicate. They're more generally more delicate. They literally are more delicate. They've got less skin collagen. Oh, okay. It's true. They are more... Yeah, men have twice the skin collagen of women.

But I guess you'll see, like, a little dog go up and just go, like a big dog sometimes. You're like, what are you thinking? There's a really funny video I saw where there's like a little corgi, and the person opens the door and it runs out. And then it runs... There's like a next door neighbor. The glass door is open.

It runs inside up to a golden retriever and it sniffs it, wagging its tail. They both wag their tail. Then they both get up and they walk out to the glass door and then start snarling and barking at each other at the glass door. That's the internet. And then after they're done barking, that Corgi goes back inside and then they play together. That's Congress.

They're just playing. They're yelling at each other for fun. I swear that is the internet, man. Laura Lumer and Candace Owens. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's the glass door. That ain't runs deep. No, yeah, not, not, that was the wrong.

I brought her up. It's the realest beef. It's like, all my, all my bitches. One real internet beef. There's a lot of fake internet beef, but I wouldn't have described Laura Lumer as having fake internet beef at all. I feel like the screen does something to

the mammal, like, where you're like, now there's a barrier between us? I don't, why do dogs do that? Why do they do that? Why do they bark each other with a fence? And they don't, when the fence is removed. Like right now, I can be like, oh, I'm going to get you, Ian, this table's in my way. There's no real, they know there's no real threat so they can unleash. Yeah. Yeah. Like when that guy smacked the microphone on the show. Yeah. Yeah. R. A. It was going to happen. That was an act. I'm not that guy. Fuck TV. I think there's a quote by Mike Tyson. This is like, you know, it's, it's, it's, not a real quote. They attribute it to him, but like...

He said people have gotten too comfortable with talking smack without getting punched in the face. Yeah. I think he denied being the one that says that. That's a great quote. It is. He should to take credit for it. Yeah. I used to, with internet dude, you can say so much nasty stuff at people with an internet video that you wouldn't say to them if they're in the room. Yeah, I mean... You know, an armed society is a polite society. You know, I carry a gun. Let's, let's jump to the story for the New York Times. Trump is threatening Canada with tariffs for wildfire smoke over the US. I just love this. Because I jokingly tweeted the Canadians are attacking because we've got this blast of smoke. It is so thick outside, you can't go outside. Like my wife wanted to go take the baby for a walk

and then she looked out the window. It was like, what the thought? And then I woke up and I saw, I got a notification. The air quality index could not be worse. It's like 95% highest it could possibly be. The smoke is so thick. You can, it looks like it's foggy out. And you got your I start burning and it smells like burning plastic. It's crazy. I'm like scatidded to my mailbox last night. So I jokingly tweeted the Canadians are attacking. Trump is threatening tariffs.

You did this. Trump saw your tweet. Maybe, but I'm just like, they're just on fire, dude. Could you imagine like you're sitting on a park and a guy's on fire and the smoke is coming out? And you're like, bro, stop. Like, I will strike you if you don't stop. And he's going, I'll burn it alive.

And you're like, well, knock it off. It's a sterer wall. I kind of want to steal man Trump's move here because there is a potential of like if there's a small community that has access to like the oil but they don't know what to do and they just constantly light it on fire and poison

the air. Sure if that's what was happening you would go take over and take the oil for you're like we have to preserve the natural resource that you're incapable of handling. So the Canadians with their trees all of these fires but it's kind of a joke because I don't know if we could handle the trees either. Look at this. We got a fire on the border Oh boy. So here we are.

We're down here. Look how bad it is. Purple is the worst that can possibly be. Yeah, it's awful. It's basically us. If a fire's crossing the border into the country,

at what point does that become in? You see Trump, Trump during the speech the other day, he was like, flamedy a little bit. I think it was the smoke. Because he was like getting a little frog in his throat.

So look at New York, though. New York's actually not that. It's pretty bad in New York, but it's not that bad. Well, so they're going to do in the World Cup on Sunday. If this fire does not improve,

and it keeps going in it. Look how bad it is. We got Manifest rain. That fires all over the place. Look, yeah, Ian, if you can change the weather, why don't you put these fires out? I tried today and then you said that's going to rain tomorrow? No. Bro, do you know how much MP it would take for Ian

to get rain across that swath of land? That's massive. I don't care. If he can do it, he can do it. Just put your back into it, Ian, come on. Dude, pot gives me mana. Massive mana boost, but it lowers my intelligence for the duration of the spell. So you mess the spell out.

I get massive mana regenerate. when it's on. Yeah, it would wear me out, too. I'd be tired for like eight hours after that. I mean, you go to sleep, right? Potentially. I would estimate that Ian's only capable of casting Blizarra, but not Blizaga.

And if you don't have Blasaga, you're not going to be able to. Everybody knows Blasara's not going to do it. Yeah, Blasar is not going to do it. It's like, it's ice too. You know what I mean? Like, I only hit my surroundings. Maybe if you got some material to, like, boost his, you know. Like a focusing agent.

If you could put a video on the area you want me to, manipulate, I can do it from afar. If I can see it, I can believe it. I bet you can. But I tried to move the hurricane that was hitting Florida, Miami, because I have a bunch of friends down there. So I focused for like hours. I didn't on live stream and I'm like focus. Positive energy. You know, you could do. But the hurricane moved. What? And then it hit North Carolina and devastated North Carolina. I was like, yeah. Why don't you summon Shiva? Yeah. There you go. The gods. I don't get into demons. That's the ice queen for Final Fantasy. I think that's a demon. In Final Fantasy, Shiva is a summon. I'm not.

A lot of summoner, though. She's the ice queen. I get nervous about summoning spirits. People say it's bad. It'd be funny if Ian's like, I'm going to put this fire out so he actually like draws like a pentagram and someone's a demon and the demon burns everything. Someone like an ice queen to do it. She's like, and she's like,

I haven't done enough. She's like, I haven't done enough. That would be what would have. Put out all the fires on earth and the sun. Actually, it'd be really cool if like Ian showed up and his skin was gray and his eyes were red. And he was like, it's taking me over. And we're like, Ian, stop. We know.

The sun's not really fiery, Ian. It's his plasma. It's turning. It's a nuclear reaction. Yeah, it's creating plasma in the center. Well, I mean, it, plasma is a different state of energy, or I mean, a state of matter. So it's like it's just, just, you know, right, yeah. So like, it's, it's, but it's not like fire.

No, it's, it's, it's magnetic fire. Plasma fire. It's got a magnetic charge, yes. Yeah, dude. It's making plasma. I was thinking about it. If you can use your magnetic field to influence, um, influence the rain. Why don't you use it to influence the sun?

To do what? I don't know. Get creative. Well, I focus energy through it, like a conduit, and then into the Earth's core. And then, like, is a cycle through all the stars back through my body. All the star, all of them? I focus like a tree branch of light. There's a lot.

Infinite. Are you sure when you say all of them? Do you mean all of them? Because there's a lot of them. It's an array. I don't know that it's all of them. All of the stars I can see. Serious satellite.

The Big Dipper. That's a lot of constellation. It's a constellation. There's a constellation. There's a constellation. Entari, of course, my favorite. The sun, soul. Serious, I guess you are a big

fan of the stars. There's another one. Beetle juice. That's a good one. A big kind of beetle juice. There is, would you consider the black hole at the center of the galaxy as star? No, that's a black hole. Do you know what the black hole at the center of the universe? You know what the black hole center of the universe's name? Sagittarius B. No, it's Sagittarius A star. I messed that up, sorry.

Sagittarius A is the black hole at the center of the galaxy. One letter off. Yeah, I think Nassum-Herman purported that all the stars have black holes inside of them. I know of the three kings, the stars. Yeah, Orion's belt. I didn't know that it was Al-Natak, Al-Nalam, and Mintaka. Oh, dude, you forgot the North Star. That was

hilarious. That's a good one. Oh, Polaris. That's a good one. Yeah, Serge was showing, you can actually navigate pretty easily when we were in Florida. He was showing me how to navigate by the stars. And if you know where Polaris is and the big dipper, I think you can align the two of them and see which direction is right. I think it's the big dipper

Or maybe the little dipper One of the dippers One of the dippers Problem is like most stars have dumb names Like X39-491 Like they got lazy Well they're just too many

They're like eh Too many And then someone's like I found another one's like You didn't find it Everyone saw that It just nobody got around And naming it because there's too many That's right

Vega Vega dude That was my favorite character In Street Fighter too I was just gonna say Altair Altair that's a big one I believe.

And Tary's. And Tries is a few. There's Antares A and B, I think. Riggle. Oh. Riegel. Yeah. It's a nice star.

Yeah. Well, you did name three, so. Yeah. And then Beetlejuice for. Pollux. Caster. Yeah. Castor and Pollux.

Regulus. Caster and Pollux are the... Mimosa. Are the twins. They're the Gemox. Wow. It's Caster and Pollux. Hmm.

The Stars of Nature. So, yeah, Ian. does your ability to communicate with the magnetic field do you really mean all the stars? Are you just talking about some of them? What I'll do is I'll visualize like, you know those pictures of the trees, how they go out and there's like all these branches of go out.

Each one goes into a star. It's how I pictured all this white like branches of a domed tree. All the stars I can see. I don't really like look for them. I just imagine it going into all the stars and coming back down and around. So this is all just your imagination? Yeah, I'll focus it like a Reiki circuit.

When I do Reiki, I'll put energy. So it's more, it's less like manifestation and more like psychosis. Well, it's like Tai Chi. It's like Reiki. It's just like Tai Chi. You're moving energy balls around with your imagination. You do with your eyes open or closed. Either.

But I try to helix it through my body. So like when it goes through you, it twists. Because the funniest thing is going to be like, we die and then we're like at the pearly gates and they're like, oh, by the way, before you come and Ian was right about everything. who's controlling the weather and we're going to go, damn it. Because the galaxy, I think, is spinning up into a sphere? Is it?

Yeah, we have a spiral galaxy right now, but you can either see it in its irregular state. The galaxy is flat. Huh? The galaxy is flat. There's an accretion disc, yeah. There's a line in our galaxy, like a disk that's not normal in every spiral galaxy that indicates we're spinning up into a sphere. It looks like we've already eclipsed part of the path. Did you know that we're going to crash into Andromeda?

I heard that. Have you ever seen it? They're going to smash into each other. But Earth shouldn't even notice it happening. We'll just see stuff in the sky. Oh, that's cool. Have you ever seen Andromeda? No, I don't think so.

You can see it. Really? Yeah. Look like a planet. I put on my night vision. No, it doesn't look like a planet. It looks like a fuzzy star. Oh, dang.

But it doesn't look like other stars. You can see they're fairly crisp. 10 billion years. Is that the closest star? Andromeda. Andromeda. No, it's a galaxy. The Milky Way will collide.

Oh. Mm-hmm. Indromeda's a galaxy. and usually it's kind of directly above our head. I mean, obviously it moves through the night sky. I was thinking about the galaxy and about how like, you know how there's like arms, like wavy spiral arms in the galaxy, and they say like in an electron cloud, in an atom,

the electron can be at any point in the cloud. There's a possibility, you know, and it'll appear, and they're like there's so it's a, it's a, and I wonder if the stars in the galaxy are like that. We think we're here, but that's just because we have a snapshot in time of a moment, and all of a sudden we'll be here. It's not like it moves like you think moving.

It's that it's appearing in a different area. I watch this great video and they said when they've done these AI simulations where they give, they'll create characters and give them a task. Not like humanoid characters, they'll create like bots and say like your task is to complete these things. If they ever like give the code and the rules to one of the bots, it ceases to function. So they have a bunch of programs running and it's like the program and AI saying, This is how AI is basically trained.

What? You get points. You get rewarded for performing certain tasks. And so the AI will then keep iterating and trying to fit. So if they're doing like a race car, they'll say like your goal is to get 10 million points and you get a point for every, you know, pixel closer to the finish line. And then it'll keep trying, trying to find ways to get the points higher and higher. They said that at any point, they actually programmed it to understand the rules of how it would gain points.

It would just stop trying. It would just fail. What? Yeah. Yeah, carrot and the stick thing. It's like a pop. So they were saying that the theory is that the nature of existence, evolution dictates, we can't understand the nature of reality.

Otherwise, it would break our brains and we'd stop actually functioning. So what happens is, at any point, sentient life forms that come to recognize the nature of reality, give up and stop reproducing. That was one thing about DMT I noticed. When I went into that DMT realm and communicated with spirits, I came out and it felt like this was more real than other. Like when I came back to this state of mind, I felt like I didn't need to do it anymore.

I'm like, I think I concluded everything I needed to do on this dimension. And my friend was like, no, you need to stay, Ian. You're important. And like, remind me I'm supposed to- And you're like, are you sure? Because I was like, I already know what heaven is like. I don't really, there's what else is there than that warm glow of love, you know? It is worth keeping in mind that like we evolved on earth for, like, to be able to survive, right?

In this particular context. So like the things that you can't see in the universe, the electromagnetic spectrum, you know, there's, we can only see a very, very narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, regular light and stuff. So like our understanding of the universe is very limited. So it's worth remembering that. Have you seen the DMT experiment where they, I don't pay much attention to DMT. This is pretty. Like that because I'm not particularly interested in drug use.

Oh man, it's a wild chemical. Your body makes it. You just have an, it also makes an inhibitor so you don't trip constantly. all day. Yeah, plants make it. It's really wild. It's how it's ever present throughout animal and plant life.

But they do this experiment recent, it's a recent experiment where they would smoke DMT and they'd look at a laser pointer through a door crack and they see code. They would go up to the wall. They'd put a cross laser on a wall and look at it.

And they all described seeing what appear to be symbols like language. That's what I saw when I smoked DMT first. I have a really easy explanation for it. I have a very simple explanation for it. They're on drugs. Yeah. Well, it's not just true.

That makes sense to me. Yeah. But so are we. We just are inhibiting. It's, it's a. My point is, you know, when you take a hallucinogenic, don't be surprised when you hallucinate it. It's different. It's like, no, no, like, imagine like.

It's true. It's true. But when I see, like, mushrooms all over. Right. He's making a lot of sense. He's right. Like, people like take drugs and they're like, bro, I saw a rock talking to me. That proves that rocks are alive.

No, it proves you run drugs. I took mushrooms one time and I saw like the strands of, like, nature, which I saw with the alpha numeric patterns through DMT, but they were a bunch of mushrooms. on mushrooms. I was like, why am I seeing a bunch of mushrooms right now? And, you know, I will say this. Getting drunk, I am genuinely happy

when I'm inebriated. It's psychoactive. You are actually happy. I think the DMT thing is different. I think the DMT is helping people see the code of reality. I don't know about that. Like these AI...

Don't it, Phil. It's only one way to find out. If you can decipher the code, would you just be like, I've... Yeah, Phil. Aren't you a globalist? I don't even know what a globulist is. It means you think the Earth is round.

Oh, yes. I am a global. All right, what's the speed of the rotation of the Earth? I don't know. Oh, he doesn't know, huh? Yeah. What's this? Wrong.

6,000 miles an hour. Wrong. 23,000? Wrong. 1800. Wrong. What is it? 66, 6.6.

Yep. Wow. You're wrong. 66,000? You globulists don't even know your own math. I'm a proud globule. Glob. Earth's rotational speed is approximately 1,040 miles per.

hour at 1,674 kilometers an hour. That's not how fast. At the equator. The planes fly faster than that? Generally, some do, but most don't. I always thought about how it's cool how if you fly from, like, New York. Airplanes fly, like your standard commercial airplanes fly at about 500 miles an hour. When you're going from New York to L.A., you're actually just laying down.

I met the orbiter on the sun, not the rotation. Oh, okay. Yeah, orbit on the sun is 666. 654 or 7.1. It's got various estimates. 677. It's about 66,000 miles an hour. that we're going around the sun.

What's the circumference of the Earth of the equator? I don't know. 180,000 miles, globulus. A real globulus would know. It's true. A real globulus would know the answer. You guys are just, you want to tell everybody the Earth is round, and you don't even know your facts.

Dude, you know what we're going to have to do, though, is build a new clock, a galactic clock, which is going to indicate to other life. Why? Why do we need to build that? Because we need to communicate with other life forms in the galaxy. I think I'm good. I don't know.

I don't feel like I need to do that. Yeah, what's a galactic clock? You need to, we need to, explain where we are and where we will be in a certain amount of time. So it'll be like a 360 degree. It'll be an XYZ coordinate and you'll show them because the earth is expanding right now and so is the sun. The earth is expanding?

Yeah, slowly expanding. You can measure the expansion rate too. It's very small. It's like inches every year or something. But that indicates that we're accelerating. The earth is not expanding. It is. Research going to by NASA indicates that any change in solid Earth's average radius is insignificant.

The change is about 0.004 inches. per year. Yeah, it's small. The thickness of a human hair. It's very small, but the sun also... Like I'll be dead before that matters, probably. But the sun is expanding, too. It indicates that we're accelerating through the galaxy right now.

And we may start decelerating at some point. I think that indicates, as things expand, they... Literally, that makes them move faster. So that means that we have to calculate our expansion, our acceleration, and then our direction through the galaxy and tell these other civilizations in one Earth year, We're going to be at 700 by 300 by 740, and you'll give them the coordinate.

You're giving these coordinates, like there's a reference point. Because time is motion. Time is where you are when it comes to galactic time. But, well, yeah, but when you gave those, the way you gave those coordinates, it's like there's a reference point. Like, there's like something to relate it to.

And you don't, like, you can't really, like without a reference point, your coordinates don't really work. If you use the sun is the reference point or something. And the sun's moving. Everything in the galaxy is moving. So this idea of like having coordinates, like it doesn't really work out that way. You need a reference formula like pie.

Because it is a cube, like the galaxy could be in a cube, but then what angle are you looking at the cube from? That determines where the what's the y axis? Well, I mean, you do, yeah, I mean, there's, you know, you can say, oh, you know, if you were to look at the sun and say, well, the north pole of the sun and the south pole of the sun, and I'm not saying that the sun has the same similar poles that you, to the earth, but just like the way that the plane of the solar system, right?

But if you leave the solar system, then like, how do you know what the, how do you know where anything is? Or how do you, if you're looking at the solar, or if you're looking, if you're not looking at the solar system, if you're from a different star system, you don't know what the plane of our solar system is from another star system. So you couldn't say that it's, you know, the northern half or the southern half you wouldn't know. Are we still talking about wildfires?

Yeah, I think we were. Okay. Seraph's crazy. I know. I think that we should. I'm just, I can't stand flat earthers, man. I just got to be honest.

I agree. Because a lot of what they put, it's just, it's just fake. So, for instance, I just, I just looked this up.

I watched a video where a guy lists a bunch of air, like a flight route, flight paths. Yeah. And he's like, why is it that if you're flying from Sydney to Lima,

Peru, you've got to stop in Los Angeles. That doesn't make sense. You're going way out of the way. And it shows like, you do go way out of the way. And so all I do is just I looked it up and there's literally a direct flight from Sydney to Santiago.

They don't know what they're talking about. He's making it up. I know. They make it up. They do. They do make it up. It has a weird, a weird conspiracy to think that people have been hiding the fact. I can't imagine anyone actually believes that.

Well, I think that there are people that believe it. But like they figured out that the earth was around long before like Columbus said. Like you can actually measure with shadows. And it was like 30 BC. Yeah, it was like they figured out the Earth was around a long time ago. There's been a bunch of different ways that they've proved it. Just like the fact that satellites work. Like do you think that, do you think you, how many people would have to be in on the conspiracy to lie that the earth is actually flat?

And like, you could have it be flat and round like a plate. No, you couldn't. Well, you could look at the stars and the planets that are all round. So like, obviously the Earth is round. but is it a sphere? Yes. Or is it a plate? It is spherical.

I think so. Yeah. I mean, you go around it, you know, I think it is. But I could be like an oval or like an oval. Oh, I mean, sure. It's like the equator is a little, it is a little, like, off shape. It's not a perfect sphere. The term is oblique spheroid.

That's what they call the earth. Yeah. But it's definitely, it's definitely not flat. If you took the flat, so there's a direct flight from Sydney to Santiago. Yeah. If you took the flat earth map, that would be the most psychotic flight. Yeah.

So what they do is it should the flat earth and they're like flying from Sydney to L.A. to Santiago on the flat earth map makes a lot of sense. It's a straight line. And it's like, yeah, or you could just fly direct. Like, I don't know. What are you talking about making things up? They continuously make up. A lot of times I think they look at the flat nap and they imagine that the lines on the

map are actually the shorter lines. But like, anytime you fly from like Boston. to Europe, you fly up the coast over Newfoundland and stuff because it's actually shorter to go that way than to go around the... When I flew to Thailand, we went over the North Pole. So I flew from New York to Hong Kong. And so I think it was like straight over the North Pole. Yeah, we went straight over the North Pole. As we were flying there, like, you can say the North Pole.

And then we landed in Thailand. We landed in Hong Kong first and then and then had a connecting to Thailand. Yeah, I mean... You flew straight over. When you fly to Japan, you do something similar.

You don't fly, you know, across the U.S. and then across the Pacific. We fly over kind of the North Pole because it's actually shorter. Any point, any place that you're flying to north of the equator, right, it's generally shorter to fly over the top than around. Okay. And safer because there's land.

under you? No, it's shorter. Do they get, would they prefer to fly, like, over land instead of water in case there's I would. I mean, I don't think so, because either way, if you're falling out, falling from 36,000 feet, you're probably dead anyways. Dude, I didn't, I told Tim about this when we were flying back from Vegas, um, halfway we were flying from, like, Vegas to D.C. and, like, over Wichita, the pilot comes on. He's like, uh, the cockpit is getting very cold. Oh, yeah.

The co-pilot and I are having a hard time doing our jobs. So we have to make a, a landing. here in Chicago and people are like oh my god and we landed and he's like so we reboarded in his same pilot and he's like to the people the customers that had choice words with me the co-pilot and I were unable to feel our fingertips and toes and uh could have become very bad we're like planes fly themselves basically now like those types of plans that's kind of a BS excuse well they got to land the plane though and yeah I was uh I had a we had a couple years ago we were flying back and they they canceled our flight at the last minute like right before

the holidays. And so we had to be back for the show. So we called a charter company. We were like, we're in Chicago. We got to get the D.C. What can you do? And they were like, good luck. Are you nuts? It's the holidays. And we were like, we got screwed over by our airline. And then they were like, there is one company that I think we can do it. Let me make a few phone calls. And they got us this company called Verijet, which I think went bankrupt. And they had these little, that's comforting. The little serious jets. It was like flying in an SUV. There's no bathroom or anything. And they're for short flights only. And then when the, when the plane landed, the pilot walked in, and he's late, and we're like, oh, thank God, walks up to the counter and then whisper

something to the desk at the signature. It's called the fixed base operator. And then leaves. And then we're like, what's happening? So we call the charter company, no answer. We call very jet, no answer. We go to the guy and he's like, it's not my place to talk to you about what's going on. He's like, I don't work for that company.

I don't know what your deal is. And we were like, our pilot just left. And he was like, okay, well, the heater's not working. so he's not flying, he's leaving. And we were like, what? We were so pissed. Yeah. Perfect.

But I was just like, I was like, I will bundle up. What is it? They're like, it gets down to like 15 degrees and it's going to be for several hours. And I was like, give us a blanket. We'll be fine. When you're in, I mean, when you're in a commercial flight, you look at the, it tells you the outside temperature. It's like minus 50. Yeah.

Yeah. I was like, can't they just get a space heater? Or open the door? And I was like, it probably goes below zero. Yeah, it's probably cool. And then like open the door would be the other option. Because then some dude's going to get a. Yeah, some crazy box.

It's fun how we both went there. I know. It's so nuts. I'm still traumatized from 9-11, dude. I've got PTSD. I really believed. But now, you know, I used to remind me of terrorism.

Now she just reminds me of Sabrina Carpenter. What is that? I don't like that. Stop. That's your culture. That was the best thing ever. When she's like, what is it? I don't like it.

It's a very good meme. That's how we all feel, Sabrina. I don't like it. She reverted back to being a real person for a moment. Yeah. That's your culture. Imagine what she's like in private. She's probably based.

Probably hilarious. Yeah, she's probably posting 4chan memes from back in the day. You know who we're talking about? Anyway. No one can hear you in your leader. I haven't met her yet. Yeah. It hasn't met her yet, guys.

No. So these fires, we should actually just take over Canada. No voting rights. You see what Trump posted? What did you say? He posted a picture of the Oval Office. is a map that's got the American flag over Canada. You know what's crazy?

We just had a whole speech from the president last night accusing China, basically of stealing an election. Haven't heard anything about terrorists for China today. What are we doing about that? Yeah. Terrorists for Canada for the wildfires, but what are we doing with China? I mean, I don't know. I personally think that, you know, China is the most significant geopolitical threat

out there. Like, there's a lot of people that are, that are, I think, dropping the ball on China. I think we should, I mean, I saw a lot of people on next talking about, like, look, if they're if they're a chinese citizen they should be sent back personally i think that if you've got like i think every chinese national here is a national security threat now because if they've got family in china china has no problem throwing their family in jail and applying pressure to the people that are here so if you if you have you know foreign workers that are from china if you have people working at any kind of technology companies china is notorious for for for theft for industrial or industrial

espionage, they're notorious for intellectual property theft. So like anything you can do to mitigate that stuff by sending people back. I'm fine with, it's fine. Just send them back. I have to, we got to do it. We got to go there. So we talked about this Ashley Webb before, but Colin Wright has a post. Great. And you've been warned it's Friday. We're chilling, but I had to read this, so you have to hear it. Colin Wright says, Maine Democrat Ashley Webb, who said he would not lie or deceive people, claims in Reddit posts that he ovulates and has a monthly period, but because he has external male parts, instead of the proper whole, the period blood comes out of his anus.

Despite being karyotype as XY, he says, it's pretty positive, I am the XX type. He also believes he has female internal organs, although cat scans have turned up nothing. Colonoscopies have also failed to validate a connection with a supposed hidden uterus. This reminds me of South Park when they all had that virus and they were bleeding out their asses. They thought they were having their periods because they didn't know the difference. So they started shoving tampons up their asses. Jesus. This is the kind of Democrat.

This is what Democrats want. And this is the future they've been fighting for. The Democrats demand that people take this seriously, too. That's part of why like everything is so ridiculous now. It's like the left, the Democrats, demand that you treat this person as if they are a reasonable rational person. This person is completely insane. And yet they're up there,

you know, and dude, this is wild. People are like Mike Lindell is crazy. Like, shut up, man. For real, look at this post. When you don't have the proper hole it finds one of two exits, the guy in China was lucky

and it was his bladder. Dude, if you are pissing blood, it is not a period. You need to see. Here's the thing, like, you know what really explains that these people aren't women is that they don't understand

what menstruation actually consistent, like the consistency of it at all. So like they're straight up just peeing blood like that's what a period is like that's not you know, that's not correct. Hemroid I think. It's like a number one reading off like a fifth grade. It's a

hemorrhoid burst. It's like how my period's happening again. Oh God. Like if this guy Mike Lindell is crazy. Was in the room. I wouldn't like aggravate him and make him cry or get upset but you got to call it out when you see it

you have to talk about it because like that that how is he did he get a lot of votes is that why he's on stage i don't know what i was been wondering that actually what's the criteria for getting onto the stage i must cry apparently just cry and they'll let you up there you know they have like a media fall i mean i love the performance i'd love to see ian run and just go off on like graphene i mean just esoteric nonsense it's it's funny to it's funny to laugh about this but remember there is a trans person in congress now You know, there is a person that is representing, you know, I forget where they're from Maryland, right?

What is that? I thought it was somewhere in the northeast. No, Delaware. Delaware. Okay. So, you know, it's like he's, he's in Congress and everybody's supposed to take him seriously. There's no reason to think that this person is somehow beyond the pale. I loved after the election in 24 when people were fighting amongst themselves, the Democrats,

they were saying, well, what can we change to win people back? It's like, can we stop this, whatever this is? Literally, we can't. No, we can't, actually. No, we can't. You can stop fascism if you'll stop calling men and women. Nope, can't do it. Yeah, sorry.

Cerely. Guess we're doing fascism. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, your own, this kind of stuff, as much as like, you know, I don't think that this person is actually going to be the nominee, you know, but if they were a little more put together and didn't seem as ridiculous, we know they can make it to Congress. And granted, you know.

the house is where the clowns are right like the house has only got two years per term it's they're a little more clowns you know they they're a little more ridiculous performance yeah the senate is a little more serious they've got the longer longer tenure and stuff um but that there's no reason to think that democrats wouldn't elect a person to the senate that was you know trans and privately held these beliefs maybe they don't talk about them publicly on reddit uh or you know but there's no reason to think that this is beyond the pale for the Democrats. This is this is where the Democrat party is going, whether they're the the DSA people who are more revolutionary communists, that's kind of their flavor than this. But it doesn't mean that these people, people that

believe that they have their periods from their anus. It doesn't mean that they're, you know, it's out of the question to elect them to either to the Senate or to Congress. It's the alternative to the house. It's the communists. That's the, the, that's where we're at. I mean, sincerely, it is. It's like you get communists or trans people that are, you know, obviously. Well, the communists believe, even the non-trans people, believe all these things. Yeah.

About, they just don't experience it. Well, they, but they believe every word of that. They're probably smart enough to not really talk about it on a debate stage, maybe. You know, they would probably say something a little more measured, like, look, you know, we should, you know, we should accept people and people's lived. experiences, but I mean, it would basically just be what Kamala Harris said. Yeah. You know, we have to believe people's lived experiences. We have to accept people for who they are and blah, blah, blah.

I totally disagree, and we have to shut down voting. There's only like 10% of the country. This person shouldn't be out of it. No, no, not at all. And I don't see any mechanism for that actually happening. But the idea that this is acceptable in, in government. It's not.

It's not at all. You know that he said, I won't deceive you like you're being deceived right now while he's deceiving people is like the craziest. He's right in the way.

We're not being deceived. He's deceiving himself, but none of us are being deceived. So, I mean, there's some truth in that. I had a period out my butt. I mean,

that I believe. Let's talk. I believe you experienced this. I just asked Brave AI. leave all women. What is, Sarah McBride is the trans congressman. And I was like, what is his dead name? And they were like, that question

cannot be answered because the premise is wrong. She is not a man. I'm like, well, a transgender woman is also a biological man. You can be both. They're like, the premise does not align with my coding. I am AI. Transgender women are women. I'm like, oh my God, this is AI. World famous, renowned, used a million times a day,

AI telling me that transgender woman is a woman when it's a biological man that is a transgender woman and a transgender man is a biological woman you can be both it's not binary yeah it's not a very inclusive answer

it's a layer on top of it it's not it's see you have to strip away one to become the other you feel like you do though see I asked Tank and Tank says biological male born male identifies as a transgender woman and then talks about the fact that that's good he's the first

elected that's what's what company makes that one? Well, I mean, I'm, well, I use, I think it's, I use Claude, is the, is the intelligence behind it, but because I'm, I've got a, it's an AI agent, it actually kind of has, has, it's a little less, yeah, well, it's fixed the, uh, the, the, the, the pure woke stuff that you get, if you ask, you know, one of the AI in, uh, like, if you ask an AI in, uh, like, you ask an AI in a window, um, it's not like an agent, or at least it's not the same kind of thing. You're going to get the, you're going to get the, you're going to get the pure answer from, from anthropopropical.

I'm using, I'm using, I'm using, I'm using, brave and it's the version is Quen 3.5 that's QWEM 3.5 developed by Alibaba which I believe is a Chinese company telling me that trans women are women Alibaba cloud So there you go

Um But yeah Quen 3.5 First I heard of it You can actually get AI To give you the truth But you can't just go to like

You have to groom it over time Well I mean you're not really grooming you're telling it your worldview like I had to when I set Tank up I specifically told the program like this is my worldview and stuff and you know it will it will work it will

give you honest answers because I mean this is all true right biologically male born male identifies as a transgender woman which is yeah which is true you know but you know Tank didn't say oh you know that's a woman and you're a bigot for

even asking the question blah blah blah You know, just gave me the true answer. I think I'm going to stop using Brave. I've been using Brave for my browser for like five years because it was open source as far as I knew. They've, they've capitulated to a Chinese AI that's giving misinformation. That's crazy. I'm done with Brave. That's garbage.

I wonder if Chrome is the same thing. Brave is pretty bad. Didn't Brave say that Trump died from rabies? I don't know. Pretty sure it did. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it did. You know, this is the world. Don't Trump die from rabies.

Yeah, Brave said yes. And JD Vance, too. It got all of them. You know? A bad outbreak. No, my brave browser said no. No, no, but you have to look up the story. But it's AI search featured temporarily displayed this.

Yes. Okay. Right. That's the Chinese AI. Yeah. Welcome to the future, my friends. The good news is we're not fat anymore, at least. I mean, that is good.

For the wrong reasons. Yeah. But I guess the question is, GLP ones. Would you rather, would you guys rather America be very fat? Or fat and lazy or skinny and lazy using drugs to stay skinny? Like obese and lazy is pretty bad.

My favorite thing about a Zen pic is that it's basically, it just basically makes you feel sick. So they're like, I can't stop eating. If I inject myself with this, I'll throw up. Oh, God. Well, you'll certainly lose weight. They used to give people tapeworms back in the day. Yeah.

They'd be like, eat these parasites. You'll still gain weight, but it won't be fed. It'll be the weight of the parasites in your gut. Oh, God. So gross. So disgusting. Hey, look, if you eat at Taco Bell, you'll lose weight, too. You'll clean you out in two seconds.

At least then you're getting a chalooleau. No, Taco Bell says they've gotten rid of the parasites. Cowards. Twitters. Quitters. Come on. Yeah. But, I mean, I haven't gone to Taco Bell in English.

Yeah. It's going to be a minute for me, too. It's so good, though. I was wondering, it's a little bit of a topic change, but Dylan, you got a pretty big gig over at Daily Wire. You're the managing editor right now? Yes. What is it going on? What has it been like?

How'd you get the gig? And like, what is it? What are you doing? Yeah, I was at the Daily Caller for like five years, five and a half years. And then earlier this year, moved to the Wire. I was friends kind of with a couple of people over there. Tim Rice, who was on the show recently, I believe. Brent Sherrod, the editor-in-chief there.

I was looking for something new. reached out to them. They had a gig. So it's going great. I really like it. It's a really unique company. It's like, I think the biggest conservative media company that isn't like on cable television as far as I can think of in America. So I'm having a great time doing a lot of good work. What have you been doing? I got brought in to help with, uh, we're working on some new newsletter projects. We're starting to get into the event game a little bit. I work in the DC office. So I do like news of the day stuff too obviously I write a little bit, weekly column

we launched a new new show recently with Cabot Phillips so I'm just kind of, I have a hand in a bunch of these different projects that are going on new stuff. Kind of like an overseer. A finger in every pie we say, right? What was that? A finger in every pie. That is what they say. Yeah, that is what they say. Savouring the flavor as you go.

That's weird. Rewaning the pies. Oh yeah, oops. I'm kidding. Wash your hands. Now, how did, so you got hooked up with You used to be at the Daily Caller, you said. Right. Yeah.

That's where I started. Where does that come from? That was... I don't know, but I can't stop thinking. That was Tucker Carlson's... He was the co-founder, yes. It originates from an analogy of an annoying guest who sticks their finger in all of your pies to taste them without asking. That can't be a real thing.

William Shakespeare used a variation on there. That's true. In Henry the 8th, where the Duke of Buckham complains about a rival sticking his ambitious finger into every man's pie. Oh my God. That sounds like something Ian would do. It sounds like a euphemism for something. It does. I don't know about a lesson.

I don't like. Yeah, and then it just got, it got literally translated. It meant something else. Stick a finger in the pie. Oh, are you talking about American Pie, the movie? I'm not. I don't think so.

I don't think we are. Jason Biggs. The guy was the one who said it. He was the one that said it. He's like, I'm not going to finger a pie. I have other plans. Oh, God. Going downhill.

Yeah, Biggs, dude. So did, what's that? Go ahead. Oh, to Daily Wire. open the DC I've been hearing about the DC office is it new? Yeah I'm in the DC office it's like a year old ish there's probably dozen people work but I heard you guys fired everybody and that you're right yeah turns out that's not actually true what as evidence by me getting hired this year what yeah so you're saying that Ben Shapiro pretended to hire you to trick everybody and thinking he's doing well checks are cashed

so I don't know so I don't know if I was pretend hired to Israel I don't we have to have a conspiracy theory here you can't prove it wrong we does no matter what you say we'll always find a reason have you been to Israel? No, I have not, actually. I've not actually. I'd love to visit. If anybody out there wants to give me a free trip to Israel, I'd love to visit. Mary Morgan was on a podcast, and she was talking about how she's just so sick of all the conspiracy slop, and I'm like, she's completely correct. Like, a little conspiracy here and there is healthy, but literally everything all the time being conspiracy theory is just so crazy. It used to be cool to have like one conspiracy theory you kind of liked and were into, and then suddenly it's like Pokemon cards. Everybody, there's just

one giant conspiracy that everybody's into. My favorite is that the earth is flat and hollow. It's a donut. Donut earth theory. I don't think I can even comprehend what that means. I don't even know how... So it's flat and hollow, meaning it's a donut. Wow.

We exist in it and a donut. Oh yeah, so when you go around it, you're always going around it. That's like the least harmful conspiracy for society. Donut Earth theory. I like science fiction. I love like new technology, you know. I can see it. What was science fiction 150 years ago is science fact today?

You know, Jules... Where are flying cars? Where are flying cars? Elon. They may actually be coming, but they can fall on. Did you guys see the Batman show where Joker, someone with, I think it's scarecrow, pulls Batman's mask off. And he's like, Bruce Wayne, he's like, I didn't want to know it was him. That was half the fun.

And then he walks in the Bruce and he goes, where's my electric car, Bruce? I put a deposit down last year. You said to be out this year. I loved that. That was a good. Here, look, Earth's a donut. I can prove it, too. Doesn't seem to check out.

Yeah. I can prove it by just asking you questions you can't answer. There you go. What is the average temperature of the polar ice cap? See, you don't even know. I couldn't tell you. Because there isn't one. It's a donut.

It doesn't exist. Don't know. It's so exhausting. It really like neutralizes people's. I think it was Chris Rufo maybe that had this take or his co-host on his podcast, that they were like, people that get conspiracy brain, they can't participate in actual constructive politics anymore. Not at all.

Yeah. So it's like a way to neutralize. If you lead your people to conspiracy all the time, it just neutralizes them from able to do anything. One more reason. Actually win the country back. One more reason to end universal enfranchisement. I agree. We need less people voting. Absolutely. And then there's like people that are refused to acknowledge

a potential of any conspiracies that are also dangerous for politics. Like there's a middle ground because people are conspiring behind closed doors. Well, I mean, there. Ian, no conspiracy has ever happened ever. That sounds like a once. To me. The phrase conspiracy,

like people conspire together. Anytime you get a couple people in a room talking about something, they're conspiring. coming up with a plan. But the colloquial definition of conspiracy theory is that, you know, it's a big secret. And only the person that's on X calling you names is like in on the conspiracy. He's got the secret knowledge. And that's why they're so compelling to some people.

They believe that they've got the secret knowledge and only them and a few people like them know and everybody else is a rube and everybody else is stupid and they're the smart ones. That's what's compelling. That's why people are like, see, we know we're in on it. We're smarter than the people that are hiding it from us. I forget about the quote that was conspiracies are a way to make people that don't know anything feel like they know everything. That's basically what it is. Well, I was just going to say the best argument against the conspiracies is like the conversation with the average congressional staffer.

Like I live in D.C. If you had to talk to these people and congressmen and lawmakers and stuff, and like if you think all these people have some cabal that they're just scheming everything up behind closed doors and they're capable of pulling that off. Like, they're not. They're not capable. I mean, just... I mean, if they are, what's your excuse?

Like, these guys have an IQ of like 98. What are you doing? Ian, what are you doing? I'm just slipping and sliding towards life. Why aren't you in Congress? Because I'm on my knees for God, Tim. Oh, yeah, you are, totally. I play music because I want to subvert from behind.

On my knees for God. Gun for office. The guy that engages... The guy that engages in heresy regularly. Really? Oh, yeah. That's what Jesus says. too. Okay, well, you're not

Jesus. You're not Jesus either, so. I don't think Jesus can do heresy. Yeah, I don't think that's not what Christians believe. Yeah, he was the only perfect man. Pissed off all the Jews. It doesn't matter. He didn't, he didn't piss up the Jews. I think that the argument is that they had deviated from God's teachings.

It was the Santegra. So he wasn't that heretic, he was correcting heresy. He had come to. He'd realized that you were all the heretics. It wasn't him. He wasn't the one, but all of you. So it was playing with regularly engages in heresy. Maybe.

He's on his knees for God, okay? Yeah, he is. It's only heresy if you mean for it to be here. That's a South Park joke. No, it's not. Yeah. I remember in South Park when Carman was like, I'm on my knees for Jesus and they were like,

uh, when he had the Christian band. Yeah. He just took love songs and changed it out for Jesus. He's like, what? You don't love Jesus? We do, but it sounds like you really love him. Of course I really love him.

You don't? No, we just mean really love it. I think the real, like, antidote is getting rich. It's not a way I don't normally think like that because I'm not greedy generally. I'm pretty charitable. But like, I was talking to Phil about it. I'm like, I think the real antidote to tyranny is wealth.

Bro, every single American, even a homeless person is wealthy to the rest of the world. You can be a mentally ill homeless person sitting on a street corner and you have more access to clean running water, hot showers charity than an average person in South Sudan. Amen. A homeless person in the United States

sitting down saying that a single word makes more money per year than a middle-class Sudanese person. I think you're tempting people to surge the border when you say stuff like that. This is why they do. The GDP per capita in Sudan is like $300. Well, it's even, if you go back in history, it's even more profound. Like, even Americans from a few hundred years ago, Americans today are way richer.

Yeah. And they're never happy. The poorest state in the United States per capita, the people are wealthier than all of Europe, all the countries of Europe. Per capita? Per capita. Really? is low-key falling off completely. Yeah, it's true.

It's just recently... We have... Our average income is three times that of Japan. Yeah. That's crazy. And Japan's nice. Remember, poor people in the U.S. have cell phones.

They have access to the internet. Poor people in the U.S. are not poor. But it's not just that. You can have $0, and you can walk into a McDonald's and get a glass of clean parasite-free water. And like, having a bunch of money injected into my bank account doesn't make me resistant to tyranny

because Wells Fargo can shut off my bank. It's the opposite, actually. The more money you get, the more susceptible you are. The more targeted you become. Because the machine threatens take away so much from you. If you're broke and they threaten you, you don't have anything. That's literally what, you know,

you can't take anything from, you can't get blood from a stone. If you don't have anything, people can't use the things that you have as leverage. You're nothing to lose, yeah. Right, like no kids. I don't have a big. No money, no house, no nothing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

No lights, no music. Can't blackmail me. Uh, well, I mean, yeah. I mean, you got a blackmail good. But like, you might be easily, it might be easier to bribe someone that doesn't have anything because they're like, oh, you're going to give me $10,000. That's a lot of money, you know? Whereas if you've got a house and you got a family and you got a kid and you've got a reputation, you've got, you're in your case, you're a public figure and stuff. You know, if someone's like, hey, we're going to do this if you don't play ball.

It's like, oh, well, I better play ball because I don't want to lose the things that I have. Because would you ever run for office? I would say the end. on Maine before I would run the run for office. I'm too young to foreclose on that, but I don't have any desire right now. No, I would. I would run for office, like Supreme Chancellor of the Earth, maybe. I'd run.

I'd go run for president like Trump. After Trump conquers the planet in a couple decades, I'll run for Supreme Chancellor. In should run for Senate and Maine, I think. But of course, by run, I mean, it's an election only amongst the 20 or so elite council members. So I would have to. Self-selected choice of democracy at the highest level. And the rule is you can. can't serve more than two consecutive terms.

That means as long as you have a break between. So they all just keep electing each other. I think the Russians did that. That is what they do? With his, what was that guy? Naval. No, not Navalny. Medvedev.

Medvedev is number two. He became president. Oh, yeah, yeah. Erdogan does that too in Turkey. Oh, did he really? Hmm? You said you just posted on X? No, he's just a poster now.

Medvedev. He just tweets and saying things now. He used to be the president with Putin. Yeah, he's, now he just tweets about New King America and stuff all the time. Every once in a while, just keep us on our toes. Yeah, imagine if Obama was, like, constantly tweeting about nuking other countries. That'd be kind of crazy.

I wish. It's like... Give us more content to talk about. If politics, it's like if there's a machine that's breaking down and malfunctioning and spilling oil and it's driving, and they're like, hey, you want to get on board and drive with us? I'm like, I think I got to fix the machine. Like, if I get in, in the machine, I can't fix it. I got to stay out here to fix it.

And you fix it from inside? You talk a lot about fixing the machine for someone that, that, uh, smokes pot and does DMT. This machine is out of control, dude. 40 trillion in debt. Are we going for a currency reset? Like, what is, are people going to, is our net worth dropping by 99%?

No, it just means they're going to add extra zeros. Trump's going to make a $250 bill. And then $250 is the new $100. Yep. I mean, look, man, when I was a kid, you know, like a Coke was $0.55. Wow. I remember that.

We had a vending machine that was just outside by the Dominic supermarket. it was a quarter for a can of pop. Yeah, we used to go... I used to always go and push buttons try and get a free soda out of those are like... And you would sometimes. Yeah, you would.

And you'd go to pay phones and there'd be coins in there. And then me and Andy would go to Aldi and we would offer to return people's carts for them and just stack up quarters. It used to be actually profitable to collect a lot of bottles and cans in return. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. People used to drive to Michigan

to get double the return, which is fraud, but they didn't really? Yeah, because the way it works is when you buy the bottle, you pay a deposit. Then when you go and return it, they give the deposit. back so people would collect bottles in Indiana and Illinois and drive to Michigan because the deposit was double. Oh.

That was an edgy fraud. Bro, I got to tell you guys, I was watching this podcast, and it's completely not news-related, but it's the craziest thing I've ever heard, and don't do it. But have you guys ever heard of retail theft or shoplifting arbitrage? Yep. This is the craziest thing. I never even considered this. Do not do this, but some guy was an immigrant criminal.

He was talking about how they do return fraud, where you go to a grocery. store and you'll grab a small item that you don't need a receipt for off a shelf and then go to return it. And if it's like mouthwash for five bucks, they don't ask you for a receipt. They just give you the five bucks. And so that's return fraud. People usually get caught doing it. So at first he's like, we used to shoplift and then we would just try and sell the stuff for like half the price. Then we realized you can just return the stuff. You don't even need it. Then we realized you could do bigger items with receipts. And then he gets into the craziest thing I ever heard of. He said that they would go to like a Home Depot and you'd find a receipt in a trash bin for like a

power drill that costs 500 bucks. Then they order online the same skew, the same power drill, but it's cheaper because the online store sells it for less because they don't have overhead. It then arrives five days later and you return that drill with the receipt saying that your friend, he would be like, my friend bought this for me, but I'm going to return it. The Home Depot gets the exact same drill back, loses no money but the sale, and then you get the price difference. So if the drill's 300 bucks online on discount, but it's 500 in store, and then you return it, you get a $200 profit. That's crazy.

He got caught, so don't do that stuff. But it's just nuts to think. Home Depot's like, we don't recognize a loss. We just got the drill back. We'll sell it again tomorrow. The dude who bought the drill still has it. All you did was take the profit from the sale, and they kept the product.

You stole the sale. So it's intangible. Hustlers are hustling. Yeah, that's crazy. You know, but that makes me think of the old, that meme or whatever where someone's like, man, you're sitting around doing nothing and crackheads are sitting around

and you got no money. You think the crack head's not going to go out and get that crack get up and get moving. It was a viral video on TikTok where the guy's like, you're sitting there saying I can't do it. And right now there's a crack cat out there and he's going to get it done. Do you think

that crack head is not going to find that money and kick that crack? And it's funny because it's true. Absolutely. The motivation of the crackhead is better. Like, that's got to be embarrassing. I mean, you're sitting around like, I can't do 10 pushups right now. Bro, that crackhead would sell his own mother for crack. Literally.

You can do 10 pushups. You just don't want it bad enough. You just. Right. What do you think is like the driving, motivating factor for most healthy men to get up and go? Um, a lot of times it's, it's, well, I think that it's the, it's the ability to achieve something. I think the thing that that young men are, are having a problem with today is they,

don't feel like their effort is going to produce anything, right? Like the crackhead knows that if he goes and comes up a five bucks, he's getting that crack, right, or 10 bucks or whatever. But like, young people are like, why am I going to go to work and make a little bit of money when I can sit around here and play video games and get, you know, get some kind of... I'll tell you why, because without children, everything collapses. Because it used to be, and it's not even so much that it used to be, but I know people like this. They're like, I have no choice, but to work, I have kids.

That's it, end of story. So now you got a bunch of dudes who are in their mid-30s with no kids, and they're like, well, I don't have to do anything. They're like, I don't have to make as much money, but I make enough to where I can afford rent and play video games. So why bother? If they had kids, they'd be like, I got to work a double shift. I got to feed my kids. Yeah. Birth control is probably the actual...

Antichrist. ...that destroy society. Yeah. When you have birth control and women can control whether or not they have... kids eventually your society falls apart i mean or a trad take i'm i'm i'm not 100% sure that i'm that i'm that i'm forebending birth control but the idea of putting everybody on birth control for whatever reason like every young girl goes into to see their their OBGYN for the first time when they're in their teen

teen years when the first thing they do is say well we got to get you on birth control you know very rarely to do they not try to get you on birth control because the OBGYNs are incentivized. They get a kickback or they get they get paid by the pharmaceutical companies. So they get all the young girls on birth control. Society kind of makes women think that they should be men and try to do the things that men do and want to be men, go to get a job, go to college, get a job.

Used to be where like you weren't stopping people from having sex. Like that just wasn't happening. You look back 100 years, people were having a bunch of sex and having a bunch of kids because of it. Um, now you have birth control, get on birth, get a large percentage of your population on birth control. And there's no more kids. And like Tim's point, without kids, men don't have that kind of need to, to, you know, settle to essentially settle down. Like women and kids tame young men, right? You got women and kids. If a guy's got a girlfriend that he gets pregnant, he's got to take care of the girl and he's got to take care of the kid. I got to get a job. I got to get my, my crap together. I got to provide for them. And that's a very, it's a moderating factor in young men's lives. Without that, dudes are just like, I don't have to do anything.

Girls are, you know, girls are throwing their butt around as it is. You know, I don't need to get married or whatever to have kids or I don't have to have kids. I don't need to get married. I'll go ahead and hang with the boys and sometimes I'll get laid. Or if I don't get laid and I'm, I can't, you know, talk to women. I got porn. There's all these things to distract you from having families.

And families really do, you know, make you say, okay, I need to square my stuff away and focus on these people. It makes you selfless as well. It makes you stop thinking about yourself first. It's almost like we evolved to have this very specific kind of ecosystem of how we reproduce and that motivates everybody in the unit to do what they're supposed to do. And then if you throw this chemical intervention into it, willy-nilly, that it disrupts the entire system and now we have a population collapse.

Yep. And I think it's, I mean, I don't know if it's the same in, in, you know, like in other countries, but I assume that, you know, in India, who's just barely at replacement levels, I assume there's a lot of birth control there as well. I don't know culturally what it's like, but I assume. And it's definitely one of the problems across the West, right? Like, if you can control whether or not you get pregnant, then you don't have as many accidental, oopsie, people get pregnant. And then people decide that they're, they're going to, you know, live their lives and do their own thing as opposed to, you know, oh, she's pregnant, I have to take care of her.

There was a social aspect to it too as well, because it used to be where, you know, if a guy got a girl pregnant, it's called a shotgun wedding. You have to go and marry the girl, and now you have to take care of it. You did that, so now this is your responsibility. That's not the thing anymore, you know, that just went away. And because it went away, you've got all these downstream effects.

Dude, this is the first time I thought direct relationship between birth control and population decline. Really? The purpose of it is to have less kids. Yeah, that's the point. That is, and then my question is, how many children do you think 100 years ago? Just a general question. I don't know.

It were intentionally created versus how many of them percentage-wise were, oops. All of them were intentionally created. Well, sometimes you're like, I just wanted to bang and then. No, no, no, no, no. Like, people had big families and intentionally had big families and had more babies. And they'd have seven to 12 kids. But then some of it was rape. Like a lot of, according to Brett Weinstein, he's like, oh, so much of our ancient propagation was rape.

Yeah, but that's taken out of a context. It's like relative to now, back then there was lots of right, but still 99% of child rearing was coupling. Let's do another one. I don't know. I don't know. Gun weddings, bro. Yeah, but those sound like oopsies. If you're like, oh, didn't intend to now I got to get married, that sounds like an oop.

But like, so less oopsies today, but also less intentional. Because like the birth control is getting in the water supplies. I don't think it's even oopsies. I think it's like, you know, the reason. and humans have a sexual urge is to reproduce. And for millennia, that's all we needed. And there could be all these rational reasons not to have kids, potentially, but it's overridden by this biological urge you have.

And once you introduce this chemical, that takes away any of the consequence, that's it. That's why I don't think it's... Liberals largely don't have this. Explain. They don't have kids. The only reason the birth rate is like 1.3 right now is because conservatives are like 1.8,

and liberals are like 0.7. liberals don't have like they're the one saying just even if you get pregnant abort the baby conservatives aren't saying yeah abortion's another one yeah so

what liberals do they do have sex they just don't have the babies so that's where the chemical intervention comes in you're cutting the two I'm saying they don't have that drive that passion they don't have that like drive to have families no it's just just passion for life in general

oh really okay like sex is the the the passion for sex is like, it's going to be good. Boring. Like, how do I say this, Phil? To you directly. That's why I said it's going to be good. I can't wait. Really want to look deep in your eyes and deliver this next one. Sex. Don't do it.

But like I've just been dealing with it. I'm single right now. 47. I sound like Tucker Carlson. I'm single. Not that he's single, but I talk like that. Like chasing sex just for sex is just like all it is moving around. And then like it feels kind of phenomenal at points. But like that's all. That's all. It's like you're old, bro. No, it's always been like that. Like, it was never, there's, it's a, it's a means to an end. It's not the end itself.

Like, chasing it. It's not like, when you're younger, you have the hormones raging through your body and you're like, man, I want to hook up, you know? And then you're supposed to get married and then you and your wife go out of rabbits and have a bunch of babies. And then when you get older, you're more chill and you're like, eh, you know, look, I'm old, you know. Yeah, but my wire. We used to have kids when they were young. Yeah. It's great.

I mean, what's the average age for having kids now? It's like in 30. 38 or something. Yeah, it used to be like 20. We're in trouble. The argument, though, is that it's eugenics. It's that the older you are when you have a kid, the more like the higher probabilities of ailments for the child.

But what ends up happening is the children that are born to older parents, but who don't have ailments, will then reproduce, and they'll eliminate those, that genetic function from the gene pool. They'll eliminate the errors. There's also some studies. the idea is if you have, let's say have 100 people and they all have kids at 40 years old. And let's say 60% of those kids have deformities or some kind of health defect and they'll live very long and they die. The 40% that survive did not experience defects from having kids at a later age will live longer and have kids at a later age.

So you are creating a lineage of people who will live longer and suffer less ailments from child rearing and later ages. I heard someone say recently that because of the collapsing birth rate that people, who are genetically predisposed in a way to have that drive to actually have kids and have families, there will be like a flatlining and recovery eventually because the people having kids

have something in them that makes them want to have kids. That gets passed down to their kids. So basically the people that don't want to reproduce knocked themselves out of the gene pool. Yep. So eventually there's a recovery.

So the United States will just be a Muslim country. And the Catholics. The Muslims and the Catholics. Actually, it'll work well. It's going to be Mennonite. That's actually... Because, yeah, the Mennonites

have more kids than any other group still. Yeah. Who will win the three-way war between the Mennonites, the Catholics, and the Muslims? Oh, it's exponential. The hottest chip. It's a parabolic curve.

You said three-way. That's whoever has the most kids. Five factorial versus, you know, two. I'm just reading about the Mennonites, Anna Baptist Christians. I know nothing about these guys. They're Amish. They're down the road, bro.

They sell us beef. Are they the same as Amish? Yeah. There's another one that's similar, though. And people think Amish means they don't use technology or whatever, but, bro, they're sitting in there watching TV with refrigerators and they use a register. It's like

I think so. They just wear bonnets. Sounds nice. Yeah, there's a lot that don't, but out here, there's a ton of them and they sell beef. You go to the little booth, they pull up in a pickup truck, get out, and they sell you beef. It's great. Oh, they're not, they're not Amish. They share common Anabaptist roots

from the 16th century Protestant Reformation, but the two groups split in 1693 when Jacob Amund's followers separated from the Mennonites became the Amish. I think some speak like old German language. Dasiest good, yeah. Is it Dutch?

Do they speak? I'm not quite sure. Some of them speak Dutch, I think. Yeah. Yeah, did you guys see the Amish guy that went on Theo Vans podcast? Yeah, I watched that. A young guy. Yeah, he was making some rounds.

Yeah. and they said never good. I agree with them, though. Not yet. God. It's the radiation. The upside is like the good foods you can get access to, but the downside is the radiation. Get some money, buy some land, get a mini cow and some goats and some chickens, and then sit there all day, just watching them.

Life is good. I rode by some cows earlier today. Eat eggs. I thought cowishness. Chickens, the best part about chickens are they make more of themselves, you know? You can just like, just watch them. and then like... Their birth control for the chickens.

They just make more. And then too many sometimes. And you got to eat the boys. They're not as good, but food's food. You know, they can't complain. Don't they fight each other sometimes? Nope. It's a misconception that roosters, if you put them together, they fight.

Oh, it's not. We had 12 roosters in one pen together. So there's a couple things. If there's not enough women, they'll fight. But usually what happens is the roosters will separate from each other with different amounts of females. and then if you, you can have, you can have, we had 12 roosters together as long as there's no girls around. So they, they don't just fight each other, they'll stay away from each other. Sound like humans.

That was like me at guitar center earlier today too. Did you get that tiny bass? Yeah. Nice. It's awesome. Tiny base? Yeah. Shout out to the beautiful woman working at the counter.

I don't normally talk about people when they're not around, but I felt like a rooster. You don't talk about people when they're not around me. That's my job, actually. I was like, you do that all night. Were you literally talking about people. Yeah. Yeah, I felt like a rooster ready to fight. I'm like, I got to just relax.

Otherwise, I can see the cocks rearing up. I got to calm down, get down here. My bass guitar. Oh, in the guitar center, I was just like, I felt the roosters energy because there's a woman. Was like a bunch of guys staring at a hot chick or something? It was like a woman in the room. And like, normally guys are just dudes.

But when the woman comes in, sometimes it's like heightened energy. Yeah, I know. It's interesting. I got to be honest. I'm old and I'm married and I just don't. I'm so beyond whatever that, you know, is like urge to be the younger man's game, you know? My wife will tell her when she goes to the gym, like, a lot of people look at her,

whereas, like, my experience is different. Like, not a bunch of people are looking at me all the time at the gym, but, like, she says she gets these weird dudes doing, like, pull-ups, like, looking in her direction was a weird stuff. Yeah, that. My attitude changed a while ago. It's more so now, like, it used to be, like, when I was younger, it's, like, walking around, looking at checking out chicks

and just like, oh, man, you know. But now it's more like, now it's more like the rooster looking around, checking to see if there's bears anywhere and ready to fight. I got a weird thing going on. I wonder if anyone can identify because I'm, I think I'm past the point where I'm supposed to have had kids, so I've got that instinct of taking care of my surroundings,

but I'm still like hyper-aggressive to find a woman, so it's like really distracting. It's messy. They call that your single uncle. You're a little disturbing, dude. Your divorced uncle is what they call. Uncle Ian. Gross. I got to write, do something fast and right,

but I don't want to like jump into some stupid shit. Well, you're a guy. You don't got a biological clock. Yeah, I was going to find some woman, you know. With modern medicine, you have plenty of time. You should need to find a long-haired freaky chick, you know? Yeah, that's what it's all about. Who can be with you a long-haired freakie guy.

Don't tell them that you can control the weather. No, no, no, no, no, that's bad advice. Everyone knows. Imagine if Ian. You got to be honest. No, no, Phil. Imagine what would happen if they're together for like a year and then she comes to find it, he can control the weather and never told her.

He would be like, Ian, you withheld this from me. Think of all the good you can do by making it rain. Because I need her. to support me to control the weather stronger and harder and faster. Like just focus your energy into me, lady. Control the weather innuendo for something. Yeah. Have I missed this?

Maybe, maybe. Seemed like what you kids call it these days? Maybe kids aren't, aren't. You want to come over and control the weather? Maybe kids aren't the thing that you can be thinking of. Right, dude. I just got to be thinking of my next hit song. I mean, well, look.

Put some money on the table. I mean, the, the fact that that you're talking about, you know, your age. Remember, I had my first kid at 50, you know. You're a big inspiration for me right now because I'm like, thank God. Phil pulled it together and made it happen. Like, you did it like instantly. You were like, you know what?

I've decided I want to do this now. Well, no, no, no. I was married and she couldn't have kids. Like we wanted to have kids and she couldn't. So like, it's not like it was like, oh, it was a surprise or anything. Like, I just decided that I wanted to have kids. I thought I was going to have kids. When I was in my 20s, I was like, yeah, I'll eventually, you know, meet a girl and stuff.

And you know, Phil, I would say for us, because we recently had kids, but most fathers know this, it's pretty amazing when you become a dad because you realize you are capable of so much, like clawing a man to death who threatens your family, or literally ripping a man's arms off and beating him to death with it if he threatens your family. Like, you would agree, right? Yeah. Well, I mean, I... It's like, once I looked at my baby, I was like, I could pull a man's arm, clean off, and beat him a death with it.

I mean, I carry a gun, so I think... I think a little differently, but yeah. Same result. Yes. Yeah. It would be the same kind of result. But I actually forgot my handgun, or I forgot my normal carry gun today. And I was like, oh, man, I got a turn around.

I was like, oh, no way. I'm worried about dogs now. Like, I got one in the car. Wild dogs. There's any dog. Yeah, dogs. Keep your dogs on your leash. Normally it's like, you know, 10 years ago, if I see a dog, I'm like, I could take them.

Now it's like keep that dog away from my daughter. Yeah. I don't trust your dog, man. Your dog on a leash? Or you can sort of eat. Eagles at all? No. He'll swoop down. I was walking, I was in Martinsburg and some dude was walking out with a pit bull off his leash.

Oh, dude. It was running up to people. Sorry. I'm pretty libertarian, but get that wild dangerous weapon on a leash. Well, I have a gun, so. It's always the pit bull owners. They let their dog off. It was just running around and it ran past it stiff in my leg and I'm like, I didn't move, I didn't do anything and then it just ran off. Like, I'm not going to immediately assume the pit bull's

going to go nuts, but if it does, you should keep your dog on a leash. Yeah. Just generally. Like, that's just normal. person behavior. Like, you shouldn't be letting a dog. Like, Sarah and I got this little, she's, her dog is little, right? And, like, it's on a leash all the time. You don't want, you're because it's safer for the dog, too, right? Dogs are stupid.

Also, if you can't, like, contain a pit bull, you shouldn't be able to take it on a walk in public. So you should have to be of a reasonable size, if you like. I think so. Bro, we got to talk about this. Did you guys see the robot fighting? Yeah, yes, dude. Dude, look at this. Oh, damn. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. He's like you get up, man. Yeah, the recoveries.

Dude. This is better than, uh... Boom! Dude, he blows the guy's head off. Ready for this. This kind of competition upgrades everything, sensors, motion control, AI decision-making,

neural networks, joint performance, laying the groundwork for home robots in the future. Well, we're not going to war with China. Yeah, we are. We are. It does like a spinning roundhouse, knocking its head off. That's five to ten years away.

But right now, we can use large model tech to make robots understand and interact with people better. No, I want to see the fight, bro. I want to see the fight. Show me the head kick. But to that guy's point, like the... All of the systems get better at the end. See the spin at the waist?

Dude, where's the head? Finish him. Oh, he was just doing it. There's got to be more. It's just like that movie with Hey, Human. Look at this. Where's the long form video?

Is this it? Oh, we got it. Let's go. The robot is unfazed when it loses its head. It's awesome. Do we get this going? You can blow their arms off. They keep coming.

I have no idea what they're on a buddy. Blow their heads off. You've got to find the CPU if you want to disable these things. I imagine. Oh, he's taunting him, he's taunting him. He's taunting him. I love how they move. I said,

oh, stop. I don't care to see, I want to see a fight. Oh, he's behind them. Dude, this is Tekken, dude. I love it. It's a real like Tekken. This is so crazy. This is how the Teckon plays.

They were fighting They were They're all right. What? That movie? Yeah. They were fighting their big robot and they were

ABLE. But this is all, this is actually AI. The robots are doing this themselves. It's not a person to troll. Oh, really? Yeah. That's why they're dancing around

and like not looking at each other. That was amazing. That kick was nuts. I imagine. Did you imagine fighting? with these things like awesome, would it kill you in one hit? No, they don't get that hard. Yeah.

This is a big- That roundhouse through your chest, I mean, That's incredible. Like pneumatic fists, they're like, This robot could mess you up. White or Black? My money's... I'm pretty sure Black loses.

It's heck it's ripped off. Okay, so. You can't, you kind of, it's just, it's a nice to say. Oh! I like how they go down with the lightest of hits.

Oh, he's down, bro. Let's go to round three or whatever. They spin out. They're spinole. Look at his head. Its head's coming off. Lobbling. Look at his head. It doesn't look real.

Look at its head. I want to see the hit that made his, that knocked his head off. Yeah, really. It's like he's doing more damage to him. doing more damage to himself. Yeah. It's a pretty confused Pokemon. Yeah.

Can it still see? I imagine his eyes or in its chest or something. Look at it was dancing. It's to care of it. Yeah, I mean, shouldn't do rep, probably. I think so. Well, they're still fighting. It's weird how they score points.

just falls down on a toned volition. I'm gonna' The black one got 22 points, it was that? Oh! Pretty sure when your head falls off, you lose. Yeah, how do you win? Rock'am-Sof-Maw-hmm. Well, I want to see one of those hits land.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god. Oh my god. It's just bouncing around. It's just... The applications are wonderful for like VR.

for like VR to control an avatar robot to fight in a ring. I don't think it's going to be, they're not going for VR, they're going for. They're going for VR, this is going for AI. I think when the head came off, the wire lamps. I mean, the fight was very pathetic. Dude just lost because he knocked his own head off. Yeah.

I still don't know what caused the severance. Yeah, here you can see his head's bobbing a little bit. Had he been struck? I want to see the moment when his head gets like, it's hit. Why do they keep dancing in a little fun? That's crazy. Bro, I'm excited to run full speed from this thing in a dystopian city. I'm disturbed that people showed up to an arena to watch this.

You know, it's like it's the early days where we're laughing and then like... Yeah, I don't like this. I think he knocks his own head off. I feel like one of these is going to kill someone. Yeah, like eventually. Probably pretty soon. They'll probably start with squads having one in the squad with them. Look at these, what are these women?

He's like weird Western anime women. And then it might evolve to like a squad where it's like one human and the rest of them are robots. And men just fully autonomous squads. Like for all we know, he could be just spewing racial slurs like crazy right now, But the, there's already been engagements, I told you the other night, there's already been engagements in Ukraine. Yeah, we're all auditors.

They were full-on robots doing the engagement. They weren't like humanoid robots like this. They were motorized. They got, you know, tank treads and it was basically just a moving gun. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually get, I think his head is just loose and then falls up. I don't think he actually. He took a dive. Yeah.

Dislux is a thing. Oh, okay. There it. That was it. Oh, that was it. The back of the dome. Half the time they fall over from like just. Yeah, now his head's flopping around.

They don't even. He got his head. He knocked his block off. Yeah. Man. Cerebellum. He knocked his block off. Yeah.

Ukraine confirmed first lethal use of fully autonomous drones. Can we just put the machine guns on the robot dogs and unleash them already? That's what we're talking about. They're not dogs. It was a tracked robot. It was a tracked robot. It was a tracked robot. It's got tracks like a tank. But it was fully automated. But it was fully

automated. I'm saying just get a bunch of those dogs to run full speed and charge. Could you imagine being on a battlefield just like 50 of them running at you? Like what do you do you? You know, you're caught. You've got a machine gun. The first one. That's not going to do it. Bell fed? Yeah, you got I got a guy. I guess belt. Belt fed. But accuracy is going to be paramount. If you got

50 running at you? Yeah. You have to be accurate. Yeah, accuracy by volume. Shoot them on. By volume. Yeah. They said that the Ukrainian forces

carried out the world's first known robotic amphibious assault on the Kinbin spit. Amphibious from water. Yeah. So it's... Finally. It's the waiting.

I can't stand. Boats. Crazy. The marsupial drone tactic. It's that. Yeah, there's no underwater drones that are meaningful because they have to be wired.

You can't transmit remote control. under water. Yeah, that's why they're working on autonomous AI stuff. Yeah, exactly. It'd have to be autonomous. You have to pre-program and then drop it in the water. You used a naval drone to deploy an armed ground robot behind enemy lines. Yep. I guess that's the marsupial tag. It's gonna be funny when the future of war is like there's not even humans involved at all. And it's like, you check your phone. You're like, did we win or no? And the other country's like, we don't know what's going on. He's just betting on cults. Just robots blowing each other up. Just delays to be inevitable, though.

They have to kill the people eventually. Like, you can't just win a war by killing other people's robots. And you've got to be careful because you don't want to kill all the people on accident. I mean, maybe the robots will want to, but I don't even know if they have wants. Because they could easily just destroy the weather and then all the humans would die. Like block out the sun, we'd all die. It all comes back to the weather. Or a bunch of people would die. It's very important.

You can't really poison all of Earth. It's hard to do that. You just have to block out the sun. I think that's the ultimate. You know, it would be really funny. If just like at some point dudes in black suits shop and take Ian because he can control the weather. He knows too much. And the government is like, we can use this.

I think it's more likely. that is dude in white suits with a white jacket. No, we need, trust me, Phil. Give yourself the last hug, Ian. You're going to look so dumb, Phil, when the men in black show up to take Ian away to use his powers. For the same reason they're scooping up all the scientists. He'll be next. Trump's like, Ian, we need your powers.

We're going to flood China. Shut him down. The galactic core. Dude, you know that this whole solar storm, it's correlating with human stress. No. It's all related. I do it. No, it's not. Yeah. I don't. And so when you can calm yourself to calm the spirit within the beast we know as the sun, you're going to be fine. Yeah, that's, he's just leaning. I think he's just leaning into it now. Okay. Yeah, that was, I was, I was just playing it. But it's hell. It is. It's fair. Hey, if just as part of this, the goodness of it all turned out to be, you can, you know, defend against the robot attacks when they try and block out the sun, you're like, no, we're going to move the clouds. I love how you just, dude, I want to see a human to fight one of these things.

Yeah. I mean, they'd mess it up. No question. Yeah. A human would mess it. For now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For now. I wonder, I do wonder how, like, a human would do against, like, Atlas, though. Like, the Atlas robot that Boston Dynamics makes. But it's big. The new models aren't super big. Oh, right, right, right, right. But what's, what is the material of these robots? Because even if you have the best human fighter, like, if you kick that thing, is not just going to break your shin? Like, how does that? No, right. So you got, you probably have to do, like, straight, like, I don't know the name of the kick, but you don't want to.

you'd want to kick straight with the bottom of your foot. You want... Yeah. You should be allowed to have like the same like clothing made out of what they're made out of. Where armor. Yeah, that'd be like armor then. Mithril.

Armour or something. Something lightweight. It will defend against piercing damage. What they're wearing. It looks to me like that's all plastic. Considering the way that they're moving, how fast they're moving, they're probably not particularly heavy. Look, if they're wearing gloves,

small gloves, then you're going to be able to strike to think just fine. Yeah. Do you think? One hit and its head flies off. It's over. I can't wait for the spin-off bare-knuckle robot

boxing league. Human versus robot. Man versus machine. Hey, we're going to read your rants and rumble rants and superchats to smash the like button. Share the show with everyone in your life. Tell your grandma.

Say, watch Tim Kestai, well, grandma. You love it. It's good for the whole family. And let's see what you guys got. Jay Dirkbikers says it's Canada's fault for straight up neglecting their force. It's a big difference between fire suppression and fire management.

If they did some management, they wouldn't have to do suppression. Yeah, but nobody lives there. That's the problem. It's a whole bunch of empty land. What Trump should say is if you can't manage it, we'll take it. We'll take it. You'll be a vast state. Our sergeant says, L.O.L. Lindsay Graham turning down female hookers at the bar like, my whiskey costs more than you do, sweetheart, Tudaloo. I wonder if that's true. Sergeant says, crazy theory, but do you think that there has been an effort by somebody out there to instigate mental retardation in the American populace?

I mean, chemicals and food vaccines are using media. I do. Yeah. Even we're talking about all these conspiracy theories, as we were talking about, I'm thinking of like foreign operations and citing people to think that they're onto something. That's what the Trump speech was. He said China was doing that. Sergeant says, you know how the population was kept in check back in the day? Trestpassers got killed on site.

Nobody asked a question. It's true. If they eventually came to your property and they were like, why did you kill this guy? He's trespassing. They'd be like, okay. That's it. Nothing to see here. I mean, even in many states,

nothing. You could, you're on, you're on your, your hundred acres, and you shoot and kill a guy, you can call a place and say, he threatened me, they'll go, okay. Because there's no, there's no crime, there's no story, there's no evidence, just, there you go. I'll do an investigation, and you're basically basically just look around the woods,

be like, okay, right, I guess. Phoenix has before I met my wife and had kids, my motivation to go to work was buying parts for my Ford F-Fen Ranger. That's pretty cool. Whatever it takes. whatever tickles your pickle and go I was at a diner

and the waitress asked me what I wanted to drink and being clever I said whatever floats your boat she came back with an empty glass but had a piece of paper on it and the inside and when I took it out it was Archimedes' Law of Water Displacement

She got you She got me That's a joke it never happened Educated your ass dude Awesome Whatever floats your boat J.R. 3 says, In keeping the traditions of Timcast, IRL,

we are happy to announce the birth of our second child. Alison Darcy. Congratulations. Mom and baby are healthy and resting. Cheers to the crew, and thank you for keeping the fire of truth ablaze. Yes. Psalm 126.3.

More babies. Wyatt Caldenberg says Mitch McConnell is in dead. He just smells funny. What? Confirmed. Confirmed. That guy was like... I heard it on Tim.

Three stars says anyone else noticed that Tim, Phil, and Ian all share the letter I in their name. My God, that proves it. It proves that we all have

the letter I in our names. It's going wrong with that. Well, it's I for... What do you got? You got a Y in your name, huh? It's I for Israel, Tim. That's why I'm at. That's where I'm...

Of course. Carter has actually spelled C-A-R-T-I-R. Not a lot of people know that. Yeah, yeah. Carter. It's deeper than with the... Cartier. Cartier.

I've gotten that before. My middle name is Daniel Has an eye in that as well My middle name's Arthur Art But I also My initials are almost Ian, I-A-N

But it's I-A-C Unfortunately That'd be cool Just missed the middle name Benjamin Like the big Yahoo Benjamin Ooh

Like Netanyahu I'm in on it too Binjaman What's your middle name Phil? My middle name's Stephen That's a good one V What about you Carter

Bryant Bryant There's an I sound in there But no Oh, no, I, okay. Brian has Ian in it. CBB sounds like a bank.

CBB. CBB. CBB. Like BB Netting Yahoo. Oh, CBB? Wait a minute. You are a bank. BB on my left and

Benjamin. Clowns the left of me and jokers to the right. In Yaman. Oh, man. Paul Rizzler says, I love the Timcast baby tradition and I'm excited to add to it. We are currently in the hospital. Please help us. welcome our baby girl.

Congratulations. Is it Lyra? Leira. Key Ristler, born this morning. Congratulations. For saving the birthright. We should do the baby awards. Oh, yeah.

You know, I was thinking we should have the mommies. Do they have the mommies? I don't know. Like award ceremonies for moms? That's pretty cool. And then it's like the award for the mom with the most babies goes to like Janet with 15. You win. You win.

You guys ever hear that story of the guy who died in his will? He said he'd leave his money of the woman in his village who had the those babies. Like four women had 12 babies. Awesome. We should turn that into government policy. And then they split all of the money amongst their families.

Good for him. Interesting. Yeah. Very cool. So the women were just like, time to have babies now. Could you imagine like your wife going to and being like,

I need 12 babies now? Imagine coming in second place. I'm so tired. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that would suck. 14 babies and you're broke. Yeah. Too many babies.

Yeah, but you know what? You have the love of the baby. You do. You have a single one of those moms looked at one of those babies' face and said, baby. That's true. They said, you know what? I am blessed with a baby. All right. Janette says in Kentucky, U.S. Senate vacancy is filled only by special election under state law. The governor is

barred from making any temporary appointments to replace a senator who dies in office. Really? That's what it was. People were concerned that a special election would favor the Democrats or something? Yeah. Democratic governor. Something. Well, I was concerned that the Democrat governor was going to appoint before I learned that there was a special election only. Okay. Rusty says, according to Polly Market, Detroit had the worst air quality on Earth for the second straight day. I unfortunately live nearby feels apocalyptic. Bro, it's crazy out here. It's more than just wood.

In this building, my eyes were burning. Like, not in the studio, we're fine because we're in a building in a building. But the warehouse portion, it keeps the rain out, but you can smell it. And you can see, it's crazy. Is it benzene? It's probably tons of. East Palestine, Ohio, that train wreck that...

Yeah, that was vinyl chloride. And then vinyl chloride, yeah, which has benzene in it. It seems really smoky. It smells like smoke. Ian wants more. I don't look it up. What do we got here? Dr. Races, card room opened in Queens

instead of a small tournament. You mean a poker card room or a magic card room? Because we can do both. Yeah, magic, dude. They're launching their Star Trek set next. I am going to buy every single one of those things. Really? There will be none for anyone.

Shit. Ian, vinyl chloride does not have benzene. Are you sure? Sounds like something. Maybe it was vinyl chloride and benzene then. There's a benzene. When is Star Trek launching? I saw the announcement.

Like August or November 17th or something? I'm going to buy every single collector box that exists from everybody. And then I'm going to put it in my closet and no one can touch it. Oh, snap. Tide it away. Reorder. I'm going to be like a red dragon on top of my Star Trek cards. Put it in the safe.

Really? You're going to hoard? The safe. One of the safes. The big one. The magic cards are meant to be enjoyed. Not hoarding. They're not

What are the serialized Do they announce yet? What? Serialized? Yeah I didn't know that the magic cards were serialized now

They've been for a decade? Yeah So like the one of one serialized Lord of the Rings One Ring is worth $5 million? Oh, okay It's the most valuable magic card in existence Stop playing in like 2000

This says Benzine is present In the wildfire smoke affecting the Northeast right now Oh interesting Brave AI tell you that? Yeah, it's the Chinese AI is letting me know. It's cheap.

What was it called Quim? The Quim tell you that? Is that what it is? Something like... I remember. I'd never heard of it before. Quim 3.5. It's a wildfire smoking contain. Oh, wait. Enzine, Toulouine, styrene, and dioxins. They're doing autograph cards. Ooh. This is wild. Yeah. So that you can

have them signed by the actor. Right. Wow. Bro. William Shatner is old. Chat. If there's anything that I must do in this life, it is to get a signed Captain James T. Kirk, Magic the Gathering Guard. What color he's going to be.

He's red. He's red. He's got that red shirt. I'd imagine Picard is going to be like white and blue. White? Actually, he could be white. He could be just guy. He could be red, white, blue.

If they make a multicolor. Yeah, Janeway's green. I agree with that, actually. He's green. I agree with that. Do they have like a captain for every color? I'd imagine. The one guy's got to be blue then.

Captain Kirk's a beast in, in, in red agro. Oh, you've seen him? You can look at the cards. You can pull him up. Fired. Yeah, whenever he enters or attacks, you can choose one.

If you have no cards in hand, you can choose one or more. And then you can, you can discard a card, draw card. You can create a one-one red officer or creatures who control get plus one plus-o. So that's mad beast. If your hand is empty

and you're playing agro, that's massive. You can create a one-one officer. What's an officer? Just a one-one creature. The type is officer. So you're basically still able to do stuff if you burn your hand.

Essentially, right? Yeah, that's going to be an awesome creature for a red deck. I think, yeah, red shirts are off. Red shirts were the ones that we're going to die. Janeway does exploration, which is funny because it's Voyager. But you can play an extra land, and then whenever she or another creature enters, you can explore. Okay. And then what's the other dude?

What's his name from Deep Space? Cisco. Is he blue? Look him up because the only cards. See, black? That's what I want. No, I'm just kidding. I mean, he might be blue, but.

I gotta be honest. I think he would be blue. He just seems like a blue guy. No, when he and Garrick assassinated that senator. Oh, really? I mean, he regretted it, and he was like, I shouldn't have done it, but he's more, I don't know. I don't know if any of the captains could be black. Oh, that's it's.

He's literally black, but that's not what we're talking about. Oh, anyway, we got wrapped up in Star Trek. All right. Where are we at? Let's see. We'll grab one more here. Let's see. Argent Stoics, as Ian, your belief that rape is a common thing.

And so he can't go to sleep and then no one

believes him. Then he falls asleep. He's like, if I fall asleep, you have to wake me up. And she's like, sure. And then he goes to sleep and she doesn't. And then a hand comes out of his mouth.
