Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, it appears that we may have full-blown war between India and Pakistan breaking out right now with both sides basically saying that this is war, they're retaliating. You've got images of airstrikes emerging all across social media and pro-India side saying it's all fake news coming out of Pakistan. Welcome to the fifth generational warfare aspect of this. Some people are arguing that the claims coming out of Pakistan are fake, the claims coming out of India. Welcome to the fifth generational warfare aspect of this. Some people are arguing that the claims coming out of Pakistan are fake. The claims coming out of India are fake. We have to break this down because there's a lot of information. Donald Trump has just recently
Starting point is 00:00:33 spoken about this, saying that he hope it ends very, very quickly. But of course, these two nations are nuclear armed. And that's why there is a concern that this could escalate into nuclear war. I'm going to say right off the bat, I personally don't think it goes that far. I do have concerns personally, once again, with the conflict between Israel and the Houthis now with these strikes going back and forth. Iran, of course, China and Taiwan could break out. Russia is launching ballistic missile strikes in Ukraine. War is breaking out all across this planet, all over this planet. And so it is pretty worrying. But I am not just saying nuclear war fears. No, quite literally, we've got an article where they're trying, they're telling you how to survive a nuclear war. All of these news outlets are saying, hey, look, you've got two nuclear powered nations. This could get serious. So we'll talk about that. And that is the principal news. However, I want to give a shout out to Stephen Marsh, who appeared on MSNBC warning that the U.S. may go to war with Canada. Clown show. So, OK. All right. I'm not super worried about that,

I'm the senior editor for The Daily Caller, the co-host of The Hills Rising and co-host of Free Media at Reason. Check me out on X at Amber Marie Duke. Thanks for hanging out. Libby's here, too. I'm hanging out, too. I'm Libby Emmons. I'm with the Postmillennial and Humanevents.com. Glad to be here. Hello, everybody. My name is Phil Labonte. I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.
Starting point is 00:03:46 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary. Let's get into it. Well, we'll just start right away with the statement from President Trump responding to the operation, saying that he hoped it ends very quickly. He says, you know, they've been fighting for many, many decades and centuries. Actually, if you really think about it, I just hope it ends very quickly. We have a ton of crazy images and videos coming out. Several dead, including children, as India launches airstrikes on terrorist camps inside Pakistan. Islamabad says at least two warplanes were shot down. Latest update.
Starting point is 00:04:16 If I can. We've got a live tracker right here. And I believe I have to search for it because so much is. Look at this. Pakistan's defense minister, Asif, Asif, said on Bloomberg TV that Pakistan shot down five Indian planes and has taken some Indian soldiers prisoner. There was no immediate response from the Indian government outside of business hours. So this is happening in real time. Of course, both of these nations have nuclear weapons, so everybody's freaking out. This may escalate. Pakistan's defense minister comments were quite notable. There's a lot we
Starting point is 00:04:50 don't yet know about the military action, but we're seeing remarks from both India and Pakistan that they don't want to escalate the situation. However, it has been escalating. This is Jeanette Rodriguez for Bloomberg saying, we don't have confirmation yet from India to Pakistan statement about downing five Indian planes. The last time the two countries had a similar conflict was in 2019 when India had struck what it said were terrorist camps after an attack it blamed on Pakistan. At the time, Pakistan had taken one Indian Air Force pilot prisoner and released him soon after. So there's a lot going on right now.
Starting point is 00:05:22 We've got videos here. Airspace is closed. Markets are shaken. India-Pakistan tensions surge. We've got this image apparently of some of these strikes. And we have Jim Sciutto. The reason I bring this up is he initially reported the two planes being down at 6 p.m. However, this is not an official community note that you're seeing. They're arguing, in fact, it's fake. But the challenge we have right now is propaganda, fifth generational warfare. So it's going to be definitely difficult, I think, to find out which journalists are actually reporting accurate information. But I would say Jim Sciutto is probably off of that list. Do you guys have a sense of how reliable the information that's coming out of either side is?
Starting point is 00:06:18 I know that they have had a lot of beef in the past, and I've heard that there was a lot of bad blood because one of them, maybe I don't know how many years ago, but in the past 10 years or so, one of them shot one of their other country's planes down. And so the beef is still ongoing, but they're not reliable because India says it didn't happen, Pakistan says it did, and that's kind of the going thing.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Do you guys have any sense of what kind of reliable information there is? No, and I think there's claims of questionability on both sides. And if you're referring to the 2019 incident, so what happened was there was a similar situation where there was an alleged terror attack by Pakistan on India. India responded with a strike. Pakistan responded by shooting down a Pakistani fighter plane, taking the pilot hostage. And basically the conflict settled down after Pakistan agreed to return the pilot to India. So it's possible we see another quick resolution.
Starting point is 00:07:20 There's been skirmishes between these two countries for a very long time, for decades. But the last war, I believe, was in 1998. So... Eight or 99. 98 or 99, which was coincidentally the same year that Pakistan became a nuclear power. Indeed, and they didn't use them. So hopefully this just becomes a flash in the pan. We do have some videos.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Daily Mail has these videos posted. I don't know how much we actually can play because there's a lot of graphic images that are coming out. We can just see these appear to be airstrikes going off in Pakistan. And oh boy, so we've got Israel and Yemen. We've got Russia, Ukraine. We've got potentially China and Taiwan. You've got Iran and Israel as well. Iran and Israel and Gaza, Israel and Lebanon. Yikes. Israel's certainly the center of a lot of war in the Middle East. I guess the fear is, you know, Phil, you were saying this. I think you were saying this before the show that wasn't you saying China might take this opportunity? Well, there there is a border issues between China and India,
Starting point is 00:08:26 if I understand correctly. Well, and China is ostensibly aligned with Pakistan in the fight over Kashmir. So that would be the concern is if China decides to get involved. So, I mean, I don't, I personally don't, and this is just my gut feeling. It's not like I haven't some kind of deep knowledge of China, Pakistan and India, but I don't think that China would do it. But again, I'm just a dude that talks on the Internet. So what do I know? And the reason I think they wouldn't is because of the fact that the U.S. is ostensibly aligned with both of them. And so that would put tension with the U.S. and China. And considering the tariff war right now, the trade war right now, I feel like China doesn't want to escalate
Starting point is 00:09:06 tensions, even though they're going to talk big. You can hear a lot of stuff coming out of China that's kind of smuggled out, information smuggled out, where China's having a rough go of the tariff war. And so I don't think that they want to escalate it in any kind of fashion. Yeah. And the administration spoke to both India and Pakistan a couple of weeks ago, shortly after that terror attack took place. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the Pakistani prime minister as well as the Indian affairs minister. And basically it was like, hey, I feel bad for you guys. This was a horrible attack, but please don't escalate this any further. The readout from the call said he encouraged India to work with Pakistan to de-escalate
Starting point is 00:09:49 tensions and maintain peace and security. Rubio did put out a tweet just a few minutes ago saying, I am monitoring the situation between India and Pakistan closely. I echo POTUS's comments earlier today that this hopefully ends quickly and will continue to engage both India and Pakistan leadership towards a peaceful resolution. Yeah, here's hoping. I find this to be one of the more interesting elements of this modern warfare era. RV CJ Media. What is that? Which is India's largest digital publisher, they say, with one million followers on X.
Starting point is 00:10:19 They said Operation Sindur is successful with this image saying, Pakistan's media continues to spread misinformation about the attack to mislead their people in the world. India stands by facts, not fiction. We urge everyone to trust verified sources and not fall for propaganda. The truth is clear. India acted in self-defense and with precision. Oh, yeah. You know, I just want to say.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Probably the stupidest thing you could post on X? Yeah, it's not super stupid. You're convincing no one. I don't understand the purpose of coming out and being like, here's an image with a link to our, it's got the Google Play icon on it, and all their socials saying, don't believe the facts. I'm sorry, don't believe the lies.'s definitely giving graphic graphic design is my passion uh that's not comic sans but it's real close but the uh don't don't fall for propaganda here's an image we made to tell you that we're correct oh i'm gonna believe that it does kind of give uh like israel palestine vibes um which side are we supposed to be on i don't know i have no idea i'm on the united states Oh, I'm going to believe that. It does kind of give Israel-Palestine vibes.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Which side are we supposed to be on? I don't know. I have no idea. I'm on the United States side. I don't really care. I mean, I don't want to see this drag out. I don't want to see them use nuclear weapons. Otherwise, I don't really care if they're fighting, honestly. They've been fighting forever since Kashmir was first declared independent in what, like 1947?
Starting point is 00:11:45 Oh, that's like, that's very similar. It was a British colony, right? Israel was in 48. Yeah. I am. Yeah. My main thought about all of this is I'm glad that we're, you know, doing a lot of defense spending and planning to rebuild our military.
Starting point is 00:11:59 That seems like a good idea. Make friends with Canada and Mexico. And let's, you know. The U.S. initially was on the side of Pakistan in that India was closer to the Soviet Union. I mean, I did a quick Google search. So it takes a great assault. But now, obviously, especially with Donald Trump, the U.S.'s relations are much closer in ties with India. Yeah. And Trump and Modi are pretty close.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yeah. Well, India and the U.S. should be friends. I mean, we have similar backstories in terms of British colonization. No. Yeah. I don't know. That's the standard. There's a lot of people
Starting point is 00:12:33 we should be friends with. I was like floating that take to see what would happen. I don't even know if I think it. I don't think you do. I really don't think you do. Libby S. posting in real life. Love it.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Right? Yeah. Why not? Go for it. Testing the waters. I mean don't think you do. Libby S. posting in real life. Love it. Right? Why not? Go for it. Testing the waters. I mean, India, as far as I know, is not a sanitary country. But am I wrong? No, you're not.
Starting point is 00:12:52 In fact, I accidentally was watching a bit of a TED Talk today that was like scrolling on Twitter when I forgot to turn off the video I was looking at. And it was this woman, this Indian woman who was giving a talk about how the most open defecation in the world is actually in rural India. Like more than half of the world's open defecation. That may be true but the fact of the matter is we haven't been
Starting point is 00:13:15 attacked by Indians. San Francisco, India. See, look at that. You're feeling me now, Amber. We haven't been attacked by Indians in a long, long time. Pakistan's got some people that don't like Americans. They were hiding bin Laden.
Starting point is 00:13:30 They definitely don't try to kill you if you're not Hindu, so there's that. That's true. There's an island nation where the people go into the water to do their business, and there's so much accumulating outside the island that it's poisoning the small aquifer and killing all the fish. That's a terrible idea. Where? Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Yeah, probably. Oh, that's terrible. I don't know. That sounds more like California. Fair enough. So the fears here, this is interesting. This story from Economic Times, India Times. India, Pakistan war chilling 2019 study had predicted a nuclear war in 2025 and what could happen. Economic Times, India Times, India-Pakistan War Chilling 2019 Study Had Predicted a Nuclear War
Starting point is 00:14:07 in 2025 and What Could Happen. They said the tensions between India and Pakistan have sharply escalated. We get it. This is all happening right now in Jammu and Kashmir's polygam last month. They say researchers theorize that a major terror attack initially imagined as an assault on the Indian parliament would provoke India to mobilize troops along the line of control, prompting Pakistan to respond in kind as tensions boil over, skirmishes and casualties on both sides would lead to a rapid escalation, which is kind of what we're seeing. Sort of. However, they go on to say day one, Pakistan uses 10 tactical nuclear weapons, each with a yield of five kilotons within its own borders against Indian tanks. Yeah, not happened.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Well, the strategy, if I understand correctly, is Pakistan has threatened, if India invades, Pakistan will use nuclear weapons inside its own border. And India has said, if you use nuclear weapons on our troops in your own border, we will still consider that a nuclear strike and we will retaliate with nuclear weapons inside its own border. And India has said, if you use nuclear weapons on our troops in your own border, we will still consider that a nuclear strike and we will retaliate with nuclear weapons. Yeah. So India has a first use policy, although in 2019, they were kind of waffling on whether or not they were going to stick to that. Plus also, like, do you trust government? I don't. Well, to be fair, it says, according to the study, once Indian forces begin advancing into Pakistani territory, Pakistan's generals fearing a conventional defeat resort to nuclear weapons. They say by day two, Pakistan launches 15 more tactical nukes in response. India uses 20 strategic nuclear airbursts targeting Pakistani military installations and nuclear depots.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Rather than halting the war, India's escalation prompts a deadly third day. Pakistan responds with 30 airbursts over Indian garrisons, naval bases, India retaliates. Global fallout. Some both countries possess around 250 nuclear weapons each. The researchers warn catastrophic consequences, 50 to 125 million immediate deaths depending on weapon yield. Major Indian and Pakistani cities would be completely destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. Healthcare, transportation, energy, and finance would be in ruins. The devastation wouldn't stop there. The climatic effects of the smoke and firestorms would impact the entire planet,
Starting point is 00:16:19 potentially triggering famines that could affect billions. Ramifications would be enormous and global in scope. Well, the good news is, although there's still a lot of nukes that the two countries have, it's not 250 apiece. According to the Arms Control Association, India has 172 and Pakistan has 170 for a total of 342. So we're not quite at the level that the study predicted, which is good news. I mean, if they both, if they, you know, lit off 200 nukes between the two of them. It would still be very bad.
Starting point is 00:16:52 No, I'm definitely, I am in agreement with that. I'm just saying the study maybe is not as. No, no. It says both countries possess 250. I think they mean in total. Oh, together. Yeah. It says each. 250 each. Oh, you're right. You're 250. I think they mean in total. Oh, together. But it says each. 250 each.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Oh, you're right. You're right. I am incorrect. Because I'm looking at the numbers and I'm like, based on the numbers you gave, that's like 250. Or what did you say? 342. 342?
Starting point is 00:17:15 Collectively. Oh. It's like 170 apiece. Oh, okay, okay. So it's still very high, but it's not quite there. Unless they have more now than what's been reported. Great. This is supposed to be an up-to-date count, but what do I know? I'm not sure. Do you guys have any sense than what's been reported great uh this is supposed to be an
Starting point is 00:17:25 up-to-date count but what do i know i'm not you guys have any sense of what they're like i know that pakistan's uh mostly muslim i know that india is mostly hindu but do you guys know like do you under do you have any any sense of like what the hindus like do hindus value life the way that like westerners do because in islam there there's a whole lot of like well if we're at war everybody that dies goes to heaven because it's jihad so you know they they they tend to have a a different you know outlook on human life than westerners do you know do you feel this do you guys know anything about how i don't know much about hinduism i know like don't they believe in reincarnation yeah i mean do y'all want to come back as bugs? What do you know, Serge? You got to know something.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Yeah. I mean, I lived in Singapore for a while. So I had Hindu friends in high school. I know that in Hindus and Pakistanis or like Indians, Pakistanis do not like each other. Yeah. They haven't liked each other for a long time since like the partition in 47. Tim's looking at videos right here. But I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:23 They definitely don't want to die. They don't like reincarnation isn't like that. Like you have to I don't know. They definitely don't want to die. Reincarnation isn't like that. You have to be good in your life. Work off your dharma. Right, you have to be working off dharma. If you're not doing that and you're just being a bad person altogether, it's not going to go well for you just to reincarnate. It's not like the Japanese idea.
Starting point is 00:18:39 As long as you die for the emperor, you're good. No, it's way different. It's a lot deeper than that. That's interesting. So this video, everybody is sharing, No, it's way different. It's a lot deeper than that. It's interesting. So this video, everybody is sharing, saying that it is of the strikes. I've seen this in news articles. However, the proposed community note cites Grok saying it's from Gaza, not India and Pakistan. Well, that's back to this whole thing.
Starting point is 00:19:00 You remember, like, every time something happens, this is something I always remember. Wait, wait. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Look at this. It also says no evidence supports claims of recent airstrikes between india and pakistan okay grok you're drunk well there's been this whole thing about um ai chat bot hallucinations you guys seen about that where it's like the chat bot just keeps getting things wrong and the more they try to fix it the more more it screws up. Did you see the video where they put The Rock in to ChatGPT 100 times? No.
Starting point is 00:19:28 They put what in? They put a picture of The Rock into ChatGPT and said, remake this image with no changes. Oh, yeah, and it turned into like a minstrel show. I saw that. I actually saw that, but with a different lady. And then a Picasso. With like a different lady.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Like some lady they did that to. And it changed from like a different lady. Like some lady they did that to. And it just changed. It changed from like a thin white lady with curly hair to like an overweight black woman with an afro. It was like a game of telephone. So I'm pretty sure this is a video from the airstrikes
Starting point is 00:19:58 that we're seeing. I don't know if there's... No idea. I don't know. We'll try and fact check that one. Well, the thing is, like, as soon after, I don't know if you find this, Amber, but like as soon as something happens, you have like maybe 24 hours to get a sense of what's going on. And after that, it's just all fog of war.
Starting point is 00:20:19 It's like totally hard to figure anything out after that if you don't speak the language of the place. There's a couple challenges, especially with social media. We're going to be slammed by a bunch of fake videos. And then the problem is tomorrow it'll be all be propaganda. Exactly. That's like what happened with Israel and Gaza in the first place. It's like October 7th, you could figure out what was going on.
Starting point is 00:20:39 You could look at it October 8th. You could look at it by October 10th. It's confusing. Same thing with Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine and Russia. Ghost of Kiev and all that. Yeah, like could look at it. By October 10th, it's confusing. Same thing with Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine and Russia. Ghost of Kiev and all that. Yeah, like that, that whole ship thing. Yeah, it was all ludicrous. You have no idea what's going on. That's why I think local reporting from these places is important. But then you don't know, you don't have a free press. You don't know what they're feeding you either. And even so, like, even if they do have a free press, you don't know
Starting point is 00:21:03 if those local journalists are trustworthy. I mean, really, the only way to be 100% sure is to have an outlet that you trust who has a reporter on the ground. That's what is so infuriating about the incessant wokeness of the New York Times, AP and Reuters, right? Like these were the outlets that were supposed to go around the world and be like, okay, guys, this is what I have gleaned. And instead, and they have the resources, and you're out there doing it. And instead, they're sending us back all this nonsense. You can't even trust their war reporters anymore. You had the AP. I mean, Clarissa Ward in Ukraine, like hiding in a bunker, and people are just walking around next to her. Or like the AP in, yeah, or the AP in the same building as Hamas in Gaza, and like being pals with those guys.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Like this is why free independent reporting is so important and why I personally get so angry at the big outlets and all their resources that got Trump deranged and lost it all. Yeah, infuriating. There are a lot of fake videos being circulated, so it's hard to it's hard to sort through. I mean, the other element of this that we haven't really talked about is the retaliatory strike from India. They claim was on terrorist infrastructure and was highly targeted. And Pakistan is claiming that it wasn't, obviously, that they were hitting mosques or sort of indiscriminately bombing citizens. So that's another claim that needs to be sussed out. It seems like Muslims say everybody's hitting mosques like according to muslims i mean this is what you see it's what you see a lot they it's like oh also are you training terrorists in the
Starting point is 00:22:34 mosque like because that might be an oversimplification look man i'm not saying are you training terrorists are you holding terrorists in the school like i'm i'm not saying i'm just saying yeah well what we often get from not just any particular group but largely from the left is to weaponize your goodwill against you yeah oh yeah so when they say oh you're bombing schools and hospitals and and oh the children and then you find out that they're putting children there intentionally toxic empathy yeah and escalating the war intentionally, but trying to trick us into either not getting involved or being on their side. The one thing I think everyone's got to be very wary of.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Did you guys see Happy Pay Day? They called it on X. No. No. When the payout day happened on X, which everybody gets their money, a whole bunch of Indian accounts started tweeting at each other saying, happy payday.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Yes. And they all run these. The most prolific users of X right now are like India, like India and Turkey or whatever. And you look up their accounts and all they do is tweet every second. And what's happening is they have a big network where they all respond to each other. So they just run a bunch of different accounts and they all respond to each other. So they just run a bunch of different accounts and they all respond to each other and gain the system and pull money out of the advertising, sending it to them. It's just content farming. And I'm going to take this
Starting point is 00:23:54 totally off topic for a second, but I think it kind of folds in with the tariff conversation that's been happening right now. One of the underreported parts of it is that there are a lot of countries that have tariffs on digital services. So if you are a content creator in the United States and you make an Instagram reel and you're getting bonus money off of it, if you operate in Canada or your video gets shared in Canada or vice versa, Canada actually has a tariff on the money that's made off of that content. And so a portion of the revenue goes to paying that tariff. So the U.S. has basically been losing potential tax revenue from like Instagram and Facebook and all of these social media companies through digital services tariffs. It's really fascinating, actually.
Starting point is 00:24:47 I don't know if India has that, but maybe they do. Well, my friends, fear not. We have this from MSN.com. India-Pakistan war, how to survive a nuclear attack. We got you covered. We here at Timcast are all going to make sure that you all know exactly what you need to do if nuclear war starts. But don't take my word for it. you covered. We here at TimCast are all going to make sure that you all know exactly what you need to do if nuclear war starts. But don't take my
Starting point is 00:25:07 word for it. Let's throw it to our good friends over at MSN and the Economic Times. They wrote India is set to conduct mock drills in over 200 cities amid rising tensions with Pakistan following the how do you pronounce that? Pahalgam? That's as good of a guess as I could have had.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Terror attack. Just sound complicated. They say the other measures are provisions for crash blackout measures, early camouflaging of vital plants and installations, and updating and rehearsing evacuation plans. The mock drills also include the operationalization of hotline and radio communications links with the Indian Air Force, testing the functionality of control rooms and shadow control rooms. Now before I read exactly what you do in a nuclear attack, do you guys remember when New York put that PSA out? No. You don't remember that one? Let me pull that one up. They were talking about how to survive a nuclear
Starting point is 00:25:55 attack. I remember the Hawaii bomb shelters when everyone was freaking out that North Korea was going to launch missiles at the U.S. That was a big mess up. Yeah. CNN sent Sarah Snyder over there, and she was hiding in the missile dungeon. That was a big whoopsie.
Starting point is 00:26:12 The New York Times called it inside the making of NYC's bizarre nuclear war PSA. City officials released a video in July on how to survive a nuclear attack. When was that from? What year was that? 2022. I don't remember this. Me neither. you don't remember this one we were all like what's going on and this is when the war was starting i think with uh or a few months after yeah that was february don't ask me how or why just know that the big one
Starting point is 00:26:40 has hit okay so what do we do there are three important steps that I want you to remember. Step one, get inside fast. You, your friends, your family, get inside. And no, staying in the car is not an option. You need to get into a building and move away from the windows. Step two, stay inside. Shut all doors and windows. Have a basement? Head there. If you don't have one, get as far into the middle of the building as possible.
Starting point is 00:27:18 If you were outside after the blast, get clean immediately. Remove and bag all outer clothing to keep radioactive dust or ash away from your body. Step three, stay tuned. Follow media for more information. Don't forget to sign up for Notify NYC for official alerts and updates. And don't go outside until officials say it's safe. Yeah, you told us that already, lady.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Mm-hmm. All officials say it's safe. Yeah, you told us that already, lady. Mm-hmm. All right? That's crazy. A nuclear attack on New York City. Yeah, and everybody was like, what's going on? Basically, instead, everybody's dead. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Well, I mean, I don't think that India is going to nuke us. No. No, I think they don't have the reach. Just in the context of that PSA there. Come on. They don't have ICBMs. Well, they might possibly have ICBMs. They did send a probe to the moon.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Yeah. You know, if- They definitely do. So if they can get to the moon, they can get to the other side of the planet. This is why we need that, what is it, the platinum dome that Trump was talking about? The Agni V- Golden dome. Golden dome, yes.
Starting point is 00:28:26 It's got a 5,000... Why the Platinum? They say its official range is 5,000 kilometers. Oh, so it can't reach us. And some estimates put it to 7,000 to 8,000. We're good. Look, I'm into the idea of having actual
Starting point is 00:28:41 missile defense system. I like a missile defense system. You know, I'm into that. Especially considering nowadays missile technology is not as exclusive as it used to be. Countries like India, Pakistan. You know, you've had multiple countries send probes to the moon now. Sure. Everyone's got a bunch of satellites. So if you can get a probe to the moon, you can get a warhead to the other side of the planet.
Starting point is 00:29:07 So the oceans no longer isolate us the way they did 50 years ago. So I'm all for missile defense. I have iodine pills. I do too. Yeah, but those— Realistically, if New Kids DC, I think I'm done for. The iodine tablets— I'm done for. The iodine tablets are just— I'm just outside.
Starting point is 00:29:26 That's just for the particles that might get in your skin and go in your thyroid? It's for radiation treatment, yeah. It doesn't treat radiation. It fills your thyroid so that you don't absorb iodine-131 specifically. People think iodine—what is it? What are you supposed to do with them, then, if you have iodine tablets? So the reason they sell out is because people are concerned about – I believe it's iodine-131. When you ingest it, it goes into your thyroid and it's emitting radiation, and so it's going to damage your thyroid.
Starting point is 00:29:54 So if you take iodine, your body will reject any radioactive iodines going into your body. But people believe that the iodine pills are going to protect them from radiation. I definitely don't believe that. What you need to get is an Avon C50 gas mask. Okay. Because that way you don't breathe in the particles that are radioactive. I kind of just think like if it's that, I'm like 30 minutes out of D.C. at that point. I just hope it kills me.
Starting point is 00:30:26 I don't know. I don't want my skin sloughing off, you know? That sounds like it would be really unpleasant. Yeah. That's what my dad used to tell me when I was a kid. Your skin's going to slough off? He would say, if you saw a nuclear bomb coming right down, what do you do? And I was like, Ron, it goes which way?
Starting point is 00:30:40 And I was like, away? He's like, no. Run toward it? Well, the point he was making, it's like a funny thing to tell like a little kid. The point he's making is there's the immediate vaporization radius and then there's your skin schloss. Exactly. You don't want to be in that one. You either need to be close enough to die immediately or far enough away where you could like ostensibly survive.
Starting point is 00:31:00 With just like sunburns. Yeah. Yeah. But it depends on the type of hit. It depends on, you know, where, it's an airburst how far how far up it is and a lot of things but if it does if you are far enough away where it doesn't burn burn you to a crisp you do need to make sure that you're not breathing in particles that's what i'm getting they get into your lungs and they don't come out and they're radioactive and then you you get cancer and, you know, your lungs just stop working and get all kinds of tumors and that's horrible.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Did you guys see that woman on Tucker Carlson's show where she said that the U.S. government built underground cities that are networked with each other? Yeah, I did see that. And she was like, whether it's like some kind of extinction event. It's that FEMA camp thing that everyone was talking about. I don't know if it's the, I don't think it's the FEMA, no, no, totally different. It was like the underground. It was like all these networks.
Starting point is 00:31:47 The FEMA camp thing is they started reappropriating old manufacturing hubs and putting barbed wire around them. And people were like, what are they going to do with those? This lady's talking about underground cities that are networked by trains that exist. It costs like $21 trillion, which I totally believe. But so here's what I don't understand. Whenever you hear these kinds of ideas, right, why aren't more people talking about it? Like, it's hard to keep a secret.
Starting point is 00:32:16 It's legit not easy to, like, keep your mouth shut. And if you're building underground cities that cost $21 trillion, like, you have to put out contracts for that. There have to be like the people who are cleaning the bathroom. How many people are really being quieted about these things? How is it possible to keep a secret, a $21 trillion secret? And do we really think the working class anti-elite laborers on that project are going to keep their mouths shut?
Starting point is 00:32:48 That's what I'm thinking. Unless... Like somebody's got to paint the thing. Unless you can't leave. They'll just kill you. No, no. You just live there. So are these illegal immigrants?
Starting point is 00:32:57 Are we like shipping them in? Yeah, they never could speak English. We haven't. Never could speak English. Send them out. That's right. A man who worked on only speak spanish and he's running up to a random american and they can't understand his his garbled gibberish they
Starting point is 00:33:09 just don't know what he's saying and trump's just going to deport them all if you escape you're deported that's why he's deporting all these people they helped build the underground cities that's right i do think the u.s probably has underground they're called dumbs deep underground military bases underground city is probably an exaggeration, but why wouldn't they? And you think they have subway lines? Like, if the U.S. is going to be like, we've got the world's biggest, you know. Like, where's the contract? Like, there must be contracts.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Sure. There's tons of top secret contracts, classified information they don't tell you about. I feel like some of this stuff would leak out better than just some lady. It did. She's a former Bush administration official who said, but she actually cited a few other people who did research in the American finances and found similarly that this money was missing. And the amount of money missing has actually been since the money was unaccounted for. And I think there's like a Pentagon budget that was unaccounted for. People have been asking about this.
Starting point is 00:33:59 And this is the narrative. I don't know if it's true. Maybe Doge needs to get involved. Track it down. We know we know about Raven Rock and Mount Weather. Those are real places. Do you know about those? Those are the congressional and presidential bunkers.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Oh, yeah. They're very close to us. I didn't know they had names. Yep. Mount Weather. And they recently underwent an expansion and a—what did they do? They upgraded it and stuff. So do you think that they're going to just announce to the whole world,
Starting point is 00:34:24 this is where Congress goes if you attack us? No, I just I just I mean, if people are that capable of keeping secrets like that's impressive. Manhattan Project. Yeah, but we know about that now. We didn't when they did it. It wasn't until they we bombed Japan. They were like the government said, OK, we're going to release the information. Three hundred and fifty thousand people working on nuclear bombs and nobody knew what they were building.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Yeah, but we didn't have the communications thing and people trusted the government. Like nowadays, everybody's like, yeah, okay, Uncle Jed, okay, they know, whatever. People just don't believe the conspiracy theories because we're inundated with conspiracy theories now. I wonder, but I have to imagine an excavation team is not going to be relatively large. Let's just say it's 300 people. And maybe they're not told what they're doing. That's a very good point. Right.
Starting point is 00:35:14 A lot of them work on the surface and then leave and say, I don't know, I did a government contract. And they don't think twice. And then a small handful do the deeper excavation. And it's big machinery, not very many crews and they don't, they don't think twice. And then all of the,
Starting point is 00:35:29 the, the re all the manufacturing for parts and everything just shipped in like normal. Everybody knows about NORAD and that's essentially an underground military. Pretty sure that's gone now though. Maybe, but they're like recommissioned, like they moved.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Yeah. But the, I mean the installation is still there and it was active in the eighties and nineties. If I understand. I think the issue is largely that they don't want you to know where they're going to be. Yeah, but the I mean the installation is still there and it was active in the 80s and 90s if I understand. I think the issue is largely that they don't want you to know where they're going to be.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Hey, let's take a look at this map. Just if you guys were wondering. Oh yeah. If the largest nuclear warhead that India has
Starting point is 00:35:57 detonated in the financial district of New York that's the radius. Oh, my old neighborhood would still be fine. I wonder if they have the... Fine is a relative term.
Starting point is 00:36:08 It's a relative term, yeah. In this context. It is. Yeah, I don't think they have the... What is it? The Pokhran-2 and the Shakti-2? 45 kilotons? Although India claims the test validated designs for weapons with yields up to 200 kilotons. Okay. Let's just go... 200 kilotons. Although India claims the test validated designs for weapons with yields up to 200 kilotons.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Okay. Let's just go 200 kilotons. Detonate. Okay. So. Oh, that's in kilotons. Crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:36 There we go. Hobokins. That kills my whole neighborhood. Yeah. Yeah. And then like this gray area is the shockwave. The light blast damage. Radiation radius.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Okay, so the good news is everybody in the fireball radius, you cease to exist in an instant. Perfect. So you don't have to worry about it. Yeah. Good deal. And then the thermal radiation is when you get third degree burns and some people live. Yeah, see that's the part you don't want to be in. You definitely don't
Starting point is 00:37:01 want to be in that zone. You don't want to live. I mean, the other problem too is the shockwave. Look how big that zone is. Because you could get crushed by falling debris and things like that. Buildings get knocked over. The moderate blast damage radius at 5 PSI overpressure. The residential buildings collapse. Injuries are universal. Fatalities are widespread.
Starting point is 00:37:19 The chances of a fire starting in commercial residential damage are high. Buildings so damaged are at high risk of spreading fire. Often uses a benchmark for moderate damage in cities. But you know what's funny? That's actually like nothing. If we were to use... We don't want to do that. We want to do this.
Starting point is 00:37:36 It'd also probably be more like... These are kilotons. I would guess. Yeah, kilotons. Castle Bravo, the largest U.S. bomb ever tested. Kaboom. Holy crap. That's quite a radius.
Starting point is 00:37:48 What? And that's just the largest that the U.S. did. The Sarabamba, which is 50 megatons, megatons. Whose was that? Russia. Boom. Largest one ever. And they designed one twice as powerful.
Starting point is 00:38:00 They designed the Sarabamba. Do they have it? Yes. I don't know if they do or not. It's a gravity bomb, though, meaning they drop it from a plane. Okay. Can we just put that in California? Yeah, let's do that.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Let's see, L.A.? Sure. So I guess if you're just outside of Thousand Oaks, you'll be okay. Oxnard, you're going to survive. You're good. Good grief. Can we move the, if they target LA, well, let's target Hollywood. I mean, it's all doomed.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Chicago. Man, that's crazy. They'd move that inland a little bit because that's a lot of wasted area. There you go. That's a lot of water, yeah. That's nuts. And this is airburst. And also, like. Nukes blow up this is airburst. And also, like...
Starting point is 00:38:45 Nukes blow up in the air to spread more of the blast downward, crushing everything. In Russia, like, they have multiple... We didn't do DC, would we? They have multiple warheads, like, aimed at every city. Like, all the targets actually have multiple warheads in case there's something that goes wrong with one of them. So, hey, look at that. Big city. Okay, so, yeah, if that's the one I've smoked, do the one that India has.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Okay, that's doing nothing. Well, I'm curious. Oh. Yep. Weak. And then what was the middle ground one? The largest U.S. one? The largest U.S.?
Starting point is 00:39:21 Is that the one that we just checked? That's Castle Bravo. Okay. It's not small. Yeah, no. Oh, U.S.? Is that the one that we just... That's Castle Bravo. Okay. It's not small. Yeah, no. Oh, dang. Look at the radioactive fallout. Wow. That blast is all radioactive fallout. Wipes out New York
Starting point is 00:39:34 after the fact. And Hartford. At least that's a bonus. Man, I don't think people realize the hell that nuclear war would be if it actually happened. Because people think, in terms of nuclear war... People think it actually happened. Because people think, in terms of nuclear war, people think of surviving. No, they think of Japan.
Starting point is 00:39:49 And they're like, look at all the damage we did. What was it? Like 150 kilotons or something? I think it was 15 kilotons. You're right. We can actually find out right now. Let's do, let's see, where is the little boy and fat man? It's 20.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Yep, 15 and 20. There you go. Oh, my goodness. That's like the perfect size. It would flatten DC. It's a joke. Arlington largely survives. A lot of radiation, though.
Starting point is 00:40:20 So people see this and they think that's what nukes are. And here's the crazy thing. Tsar Bomba, the largest bomb ever designed, 100 megatons, that was what, like 50 years ago? Yeah. Wow. So the thing about that though is it's one it's a gravity bomb from a bomber.
Starting point is 00:40:38 That thing's not getting anywhere near D.C. No. I mean, here's what'll happen. They'll be flying over the water. They'll get close. And, you know, I guess Atlantic city won't survive.
Starting point is 00:40:50 No, probably not. Yeah. But I didn't get anywhere near DC. I don't know if this is true, but I heard that DC has like hidden surface to air missile sites. Well, you'd think this is true.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Should, right? It's true that, are they a secret or like, we just know that they're not really a secret. You can't take pictures of them. Oh, what? Wait, like you can walk around and you'll see like a surface to air missile thing?
Starting point is 00:41:09 Edwards has F-22s, don't they? I've never seen these. It's a secret. I can't tell you. Edwards has F-22s, don't they? I don't know about Edwards. Fort Meyer, I believe, has them. Okay, because I was going to say whatever.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I'll just say, I got married, so my wedding reception was at Fort Meyer and we had to get all of our photos approved that we took outside the officers club. That's cool. Very cool. I don't know if they were specifically like... Can I just go on Google Maps and zoom in and look at all of the stuff they got? I don't know. Smart out.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I bet they have it. They didn't tell us exactly what they were, but I mean... Did they disapprove of some of them? Did they say like, like no not that one uh it says it says that fort myer does have sam systems in place did they did they uh reject some of your photos uh no because our photographer didn't take any pictures of them but they have to check afterwards to make sure for like people who would sneak on and do it how far away is fort myers from d Not far. It's just in Arlington. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Right across over the river. I've heard that surrounding D.C., inconspicuous, like there's surface air missile sites that are in the ground that come up. They're Patriot batteries. Patriot batteries? Patriot missiles. But aren't those on trucks? Well, they don't have to be.
Starting point is 00:42:22 I mean, when they put them on trucks, it's so that way they can move them around, obviously. And if they have batteries that are located in D.C. and they don't want them to go anywhere, they don't have to. How could we not have? Do we have THAAD? What's that? THAAD, let me get the actual acronym for you. There's Iron Dome and THAAD. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense.
Starting point is 00:42:43 U.S. Missile Defense System Designed to Shoot Down Short to Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles. They got them in South Korea. Let me just ask the robot, does DC have SAM sites? It's going to be like, of course, are you stupid? Actually, you know, they don't have... Yep. Multiple surface-to-air missile systems yeah part of the national capital region integrated air defense system multi-layered defense network designed to safeguard the nation's capital from aerial assaults there's quite a bit actually wow so there should be i mean that's yeah that's the stuff we're paying our taxes for. Right. It's like you had to protect Congress and roads.
Starting point is 00:43:28 No, but like if Congress got totally murdered, it may seem like it would be pointless, but it would be pretty bad. I just want to say one thing on the underground cities thing. Uh huh. When when you guys, you know, you're saying like, oh, how would we keep it a secret? I'll just say like this. Maybe. I don't know. But don't. Couldn't couldn't you imagine that Congress when offered like, oh, how would we keep it a secret? I'll just say it like this. Maybe, I don't know, but don't, couldn't, couldn't you imagine that Congress when offered like, come on, any one of these members of Congress is going to draft a bill where they're like, in the event of war, we ought to live like ultra millionaires in an underground bunker with a flat screen, flat screen TV in every room, infinity pools that appear
Starting point is 00:44:00 over nowhere, I guess, because you're underground. But movie theater, 200 years of food, our families get to be there. I wouldn't be surprised if Congress routinely votes for top secret things for themselves that we don't even know about. And then that's why they're OK, putting putting ahead the laws about how they can't give themselves pay raises. They're like, who needs that? We've already got this. Depending on what happens. I mean, they voted to renovate Mount Weather. But this is all important news for you, mean, they voted to renovate Mount Weather. But this is all important news for you, my friends,
Starting point is 00:44:28 because of this story right here. From the Daily Mail, MSNBC host floats war with Canada in shocking on-air comments. This is... Okay. All right. Here you go. Stephen, let me ask you about the article you wrote for The Atlantic.
Starting point is 00:44:44 And I sent this around to my friend. Stephen, let me ask you about the article you wrote for The Atlantic. And I sent this around to my friend. Stephen, let me ask you about the article you wrote for The Atlantic. And I sent this around to my friends. Just the very fact that it was published, I think, is surprising. That we can have a conversation that is serious about what a war with Canada would look like. Explain why it's no longer unthinkable. Well, because Donald Trump makes us think it, right? I mean, he talks about annexing us on a regular basis. I mean, somewhere around 2% of the American population actually want to do this. But,
Starting point is 00:45:17 you know, at this point in its history, you know, the American people can obviously be convinced of anything, right? And already you see numbers of Republicans who consider Canada an enemy to be growing are. And, you know, I think when countries are in constitutional crisis and when their legal system starts to fall apart, as America's legal system is falling apart, violence against neighboring countries is a very common, you know, to me, it's very intimately tied with this talk about being a third term president. Right. That's exactly that's out of the playbook of authoritarian governments around the world. And so, you know, Canada really does need to
Starting point is 00:45:54 think about protecting ourselves from the United States and making sure that, you know, we're not just a snack. I agree. He's he's completely right secure your borders shut it down stop letting anybody across um because you don't know what's coming and uh and we're good it's to me it's frustrating to hear that stuff because it's so clownish the the like canada does not have the capacity to defend against the United States at all. No. Like it's not even on, it's not even in the realm of possibility that they could, if the United States decided that they wanted to go and take Canada,
Starting point is 00:46:35 you could take all of the important parts of Canada in an afternoon. Yeah. Well, I mean, the thing too that this guy is forgetting is that Trump and Carney met today in the Oval Office. Carney asked Trump to stop referring to Canada as the campaigned for Carney against Pierre Poliev, which pissed off a lot of Canadian conservatives. But there you have it. I think these two guys get along fine. And I think they're going to work out a situation that's probably going to be beneficial for everybody. Yeah. Which is great.
Starting point is 00:47:18 I mean, honestly, I would be happy to see a normalization between of relations between Canada and the U.S. I like I think that we should be friends with Canada you know we should be do you think that Indians and Pakistanis feel the same way I feel of watching a Canadian talk crap about our legal system and our president they hate each other way more yeah I think they do hate each other it is so annoying but it is gross yeah it's annoying stay in your lane you don't know what you're talking about and you know when he says like the legal system in jeopardy he's talking about like trump's attacks on judges and not the fact
Starting point is 00:47:54 that judges are like deliberately going beyond judicial authority to curb the power of the executive they're doing yeah like all these nationwide injunctions and all this stuff yeah it's ludicrous and the third term that Trump has already said like eight times since the initial troll that he's not doing. I agree with you. But I would also say that Americans know basically nothing about the Canadian political system. So we like post-millennial was founded in Canada. Now we're owned by an American, you know, which is great. But when we were covering the Canadian elections, we have like a couple Canadians on staff
Starting point is 00:48:27 who over and over had to explain to the rest of us, no, it's parliament. This is how it works. Oh, Pierre Poliev lost his seat in his riding. And we're like, oh, so he's out as conservative party leader. And they're like, no, because actually somebody in Alberta is going to give up his seat
Starting point is 00:48:43 and then there's going to be a by-election. We're like, isn't that kind of like, now going to give up his seat and then there's going to be a by-election. We're like, isn't that kind of like now he's carpetbagging in Alberta? What's going on? I do need to warn the Americans, because if you think you're going to march into Canada, you are sadly mistaken. They have mastered trench warfare. Take a look at this image of the U.S.-Canadian border. That trench is so perilous. This 80-year-old man is struggling to get over it. He
Starting point is 00:49:05 got over it. He did. But look. You think you're going to drive over that? Think again. Is that Vermont or New York? I have no idea. That old woman in a lawn chair will tear you up. The United States and Canada have such close relations and have for so long, all of this stuff is all just BS garbage that's just, it's so far away from reality that it's pointless to even consider. You're right. I mean, Canada should just be part of the United States.
Starting point is 00:49:36 It's very simple, really. I don't know. My grandmother immigrated to the U.S. from Canada. My grandfather's ancestors were Canadian. He was born in the U.S., but I never hear them talk about Canada. You know what offends me the most is that— They're so happy to be American. Isn't it like 90% of Canadians live within like 100 miles of the border?
Starting point is 00:49:56 Yeah. Yeah, and most live in like that little area near New York and Vermont and Maine, you know? They're just crowding up on our border to take our stuff. Ontario and Quebec. Did you see when Trump was talking to Carney, he was like, we don't want your cars. We don't want your steel. We don't want your aluminum.
Starting point is 00:50:12 And Carney's just sitting there. Yeah. And he's like, we don't want access to your market. You want access to ours, so we don't care. Well, and also Trump wants to pull back all of the film and TV production that's been going on in Canada, specifically like Vancouver.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I saw that too. And people were kind of pissed about it. And I'm like, no, get them all the hell back here. What the hell? I love the idea on its face, but does it mean that we're just going to get more woke Hollywood movies? We're getting the same movies no matter what. It's not like, I mean, it's the same producers. Canada's way more woke than the U.S.
Starting point is 00:50:42 is. So is the U.K. The issue is... New Zealand. They've got to offer up concessions to get access to the cheaper markets. So selling the movies there or producing them there, bring them back. It is interesting, though, because when Trump said this, I'm like, what if the movie is made by an American company, but it's literally about Africa? Are they going to film that here? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Florida, maybe? Arizona. Also, would that be a foreign film if you bring your whole crew, if you bring everybody out? That's the issue. You're producing it in a foreign country, first location. Right. It's one thing if you're going to Vancouver and claiming it's Chicago, which they do all the time. That's constant.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Yeah. Like Riverdale. Don't do that. Yeah. There's also a lot of great films made in New Zealand. Lord of the Rings. Yeah. Is that the only one? I don't think so. Really pretty down there. Only one that matters.
Starting point is 00:51:37 I don't know what New Zealand produces. Not cats. You know that? They produce those haka dances, you know? The only native animal to New Zealand are birds. Really? Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Where'd they get all the rest of them? Don't they have like happy bears? Imported, usually gifts from other countries. Like white-tailed deer, they actually have domesticated them. They're effectively farm animals to prevent them from overbreeding. Yeah, it's crazy. I interviewed a guy a while back named gareth morgan i think his name was and he got a lot of flack because he had called for he didn't say to kill all the cats he said
Starting point is 00:52:11 just like neuter and spay them all so they can't have babies because the cats were brought on the british ships or the colonial ships and then jumped off and ran around had a bunch of babies and they just started massacring all the local animals who'd never seen a cat before. So he was like, we should just, you know, let him have babies. And then they wrote in the media, like, he's calling for the killing of all house cats. He's a terrorist. Yeah. Killing cats.
Starting point is 00:52:36 That was a funny story. Send them all to Springfield. Media is always lying. Yeah. Yep. Well, that's what you get. So War with Canada is coming. Like I said, it's not coming.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Canada should be very grateful that it's not coming. They don't have any war-making capacity. If you look at the actual outlines of what Canada has? I just need to explain this to the people of the world. The United States has a strategic oil reserve, a strategic petroleum reserve. We're filling it up again. We are filling it up again. We want to make sure that we can run our tanks, operate our facilities, our factories.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Canada has a strategic maple syrup reserve. That is the cutest thing I've ever heard a country do. I do love that. We do have also, we have our strategic cheese reserves. Well, that makes sense. Yeah, I mean. A man is going to have a can of gas and a block of cheese. And a little maple syrup.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Who doesn't need that? No, that is like a little old granny. Like when I first heard that there was a robbery, did you hear about the great maple syrup heist? No. Some dudes stole millions of dollars. That should be a film and we should produce it here in the United States. That's got to be like a James Franco, Seth Rogen film.
Starting point is 00:53:55 I guess they hate each other now, though. Oh, that's too bad. So we should do. Who's doing comedy these days? Nobody's doing comedy. A sequel or maybe it's the third movie. I don't know if they did a sequel to Red Dawn, but we'll do a Red Dawn. But it's the U.S. versus Canada.
Starting point is 00:54:08 And it's filmed in the U.S. thanks to Trump's tariffs. Yeah. I'm not kidding. You guys think I'm joking. Look at this. The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist. Vol de Syrup Durable du... French guy.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Yeah. Did you hear Mark Carney try and speak French? He was terrible at it. And I don't even know French. And you could tell he doesn't know what he's saying. Look at this. The theft over several months of 300 tons of maple syrup valued at 18.7 million Canadian. Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:38 From a storage facility in Quebec. The facility was operated by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, which represents 70% of the global maple syrup supply. Okay, I'll be honest. If they can refine maple syrup into fuel, this story would be a lot better. But right now... Maple syrup is great.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Come on. It sure is if you're a granny wanting to give a sweet treat to your grandchild. Can confirm. I got a lot of those from Grandma. Wonderful. I may. It's wonderful. It's very good. But come on. And look at their flag. They got a lot of those from grandma. Wonderful. It's wonderful. It's very good. But come on. And look at their flag. They got a little leaf on it. I like the flag. Okay, I'm going to say this. Canada and Canadians are allowed to get mad at me for it.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Their flag has a little maple leaf on it and they have a maple reserve. They're like little gnomes. They're like, you know what I mean? They're not a serious nation. No, they're not a serious nation. We made a flag. We put a leaf on it. And it's like striking fear into the hearts of your enemies. It took them a long time to come up with that flag, too.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Like they went through multiple drafts. Is that serious? It's like the simplest flag ever. You know what the red represents in the American flag? Blood. The blood of patriots died for the country. Then you've got other countries with a lion or eagles holding arrows. Yeah, dragons.
Starting point is 00:55:53 And I'll even respect this. Some have chickens. Well, elbows up. Yeah. Canada was like a maple leaf. So Canada, if there was ever going to be a war between our peoples, we would march into that country and they would just say, oh, hey. Or they would pour boiling hot maple syrup on us. Down the side of that trench.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Just dump it. Car and feather, but with maple syrup. Siege weapons of launching flaming maple syrup. And hockey sticks. They just chuck them at us. Yeah. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Like if you could like whip a puck at somebody, that'll hurt. That'll hurt. That's why they got helmets. You know, the Canadians actually do have a military and they have guns and they know how to use them. But just imagining like Mounties with hockey sticks storming into battle on the back of a moose. I would definitely be most worried about the rural Canadians because those people know how to survive.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Yeah, like don't discount the prairies. Yeah, but they would greet us like liberators. Probably true. Alberta is like, hey, we, you know, we might be interested. Oh, Canada, you are ripe for parody. They are. There was other news that was serious. What was that?
Starting point is 00:57:05 Israel attacks Yemen's airport. Yeah, they got rid of that airport in Sana'a. Yeah, this is crazy. And then, so this is BBC reporting Israel attacks main airport and Yemen's capital, Sana'a. And I think,
Starting point is 00:57:18 what do we have here from, yeah, Trump says the U.S. will stop bombing the Houthis. Yeah, that was a big deal. But the Houthis are claiming they're not giving up. So we'll see how long this goes. Yeah, well says the U.S. will stop bombing the Houthis. Yeah, that was a big deal. But the Houthis are claiming they're not giving up. So we'll see how long this goes. Yeah, well, I mean, Trump said today in the Oval Office during that pool spray that the Houthis had capitulated and that they told him that they or he heard from a very good source. And he sort of conferred with Rubio and Vance.
Starting point is 00:57:39 And they're like, oh, yeah, really great source that they're not going to attack shipping lanes anymore. So we'll see whether that's true or not. I mean, maybe after the bombing of the Capitol and shutting the airport down. I mean, I guess that would have been around the same time. I think the pool spray was around like three. It was around noon. This is Israelis. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:58 So and then I saw someone post on Google that it says the airport is now permanently closed after being bombed. So World War III? Or are we just, you know, we just... I mean, it's definitely not going to be the Houthis that are starting it. No, but Israel is involved in a lot of conflict right now. Yeah, but I don't... Look, there's always conflict in the Middle East. And, you know, there was the U.S. strike that killed Soleimani. There was I think the Israel struck Iran because Iran was shooting some missiles. There's flare ups. But just because there are flare ups, that doesn't really mean that it's going to turn into World War III. I'm more concerned with what happens with Russia and Ukraine and Europe leading to some kind of serious war than war in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:58:50 War in the Middle East is kind of like the normal state. I think maybe we are kind of in a slumber of a two-decade-long regime-change, democracy-building war that we're not really conditioned for skirmishes like this anymore go on like this is the this is the first time in a while that we've seen these countries kind of going at it with each other um in a really like schizophrenic kind of way because we've been so focused on afghanistan and so maybe we're kind of like shocked out of our slumber i kind of of, am I wrong? I mean, it doesn't feel like there have been this many active conflicts at once in a long time.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Well, there have been, but a bunch of them have been in places we don't pay any attention to also. Like there's been ongoing stuff. Like Burma, we're not worried about. I mean, there was a Syrian civil war. Yeah, there was that. The entire Arab Spring. Yeah. Yeah. To be fair, I remember, was was a Syrian civil war. Yeah, there was that. The entire Arab Spring. Yeah. Yeah, to be fair, I remember, was it 10 years ago?
Starting point is 00:59:49 When was Protective Edge? That was 10 years ago, right? Let me do a quick fact check on Protective Edge. Our Israel-obsessed people will know exactly what that was. Nope, I did not want to search for that, and I have no idea. The Gaza War, Operation Protective Edge was 2014, August. When that was happening, a bunch of journalists were speculating that this could be the start of, I should pull this over, of World War III. Because this is the 2014 Gaza War.
Starting point is 01:00:21 There was talks about a Palestinian surge into Israeli territory. Israel was bombing the Gaza Strip. And then a lot of journalists in New York had been discussing, like conflict reporters saying, there were concerns that Iran would step up their proxy war, start funneling as many weapons as possible to embolden Hamas, you know, in Gaza, and then scale this up to basically what we're seeing now. But nothing happened. So it was a lot of talk about, oh, man, we're dangerously close to World War III if Iran gets involved, and they didn't. They did not.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Then again, today, Iran launched missiles into Israel and hit them. And Israel launched missiles back. And then they said, you didn't do anything and, you know, lied. Now Israel's blowing up pagers in Lebanon. Israel just said they're going to, what did they say, flatten Gaza? Yeah, they're going to take over Gaza. That was what they said. Yeah, I kind of feel like we're closer to World War III than ever before.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Come on. Like when this stuff was happening, we didn't have all of this conflict all at once, especially war in Eastern Europe. Here's the big question. Let's say we go with your premise that we are very close to World War III. So World War I, World War II, it took like an inciting incident to get the U.S. involved. What would the incident be that would have to get the U.S. involved? We'd have to be attacked. Oh, bro, easy false flag. Like who would attack us? So you think the government would do a false flag of attacking the U.S.? No, the government
Starting point is 01:01:46 could do a false flag. Or what the U.S. government prefers to do is threaten indirectly to provoke an attack and then they can say, oh no, why did they attack us? Gulf of Tonkin, however, was a false flag. What about Pearl Harbor?
Starting point is 01:02:01 We got attacked on Pearl Harbor. Who do you think, like, let's say it wasn't a false flag. Do you think that— Pearl Harbor was not a false flag. No, no, no. Let's say now, right? What would get the U.S. into World War III? Like, what scale of attack?
Starting point is 01:02:16 Yeah, like, who would do it? Who would attack us and how? Would it be an Indian ICBM on New York? We can speculate a million different ways. I'm just curious what you think it would be. I'm just curious. What it would be, honestly, I don't know. It could be hundreds, thousands of different scenarios.
Starting point is 01:02:33 One potential scenario is a cyber attack launched by the Iranians on an industrial control system, which takes out the power of a major metro or something. I don't know that that would actually reach a significant level. But you take a look at 9-11. We invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. And why? Yeah, it was weird. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Oh, they're hiding bin Laden from us in Iraq. He's got weapons of mass destruction. They didn't. I think Iraq was a vanity project for George Bush. Yeah, you remember because he was like, you saw what he did to my dad, what he said about my dad, whatever it was. Yeah, but do you know what country? He tried to kill my dad. That's what he said.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Do you know what country borders Iraq to the east? To the east? To the east? I have no idea. The east is Iran. It is. And do you know what country borders Afghanistan to the west? It's Iran, right?
Starting point is 01:03:23 Indeed. So he invaded those two countries, put military bases all along the eastern and western fronts. I wonder why. That's interesting. So Russia. Iran is bigger than you think. Here's the thing. There's this viral clip that the Zijous people like to share that's out of context, where
Starting point is 01:03:42 I was making the point about a false flag. And I said, it doesn't matter who files that fires the missiles because the false flag already happened. And the propaganda narrative will be used against whichever side by both sides. Like if an attack on the U.S. happened that was reasonably discernible to the average person to have been a false flag or not even a false flag. Let's say a rogue band of miscreants blow up a bomb. They're unaffiliated. Let's say it's Antifa. The U.S. government could just come out and say, we found a passport on the streets proving it was an Iranian. Iran attacked us. The media will run the narrative a hundred times an hour. And then the American people will be told we have to go
Starting point is 01:04:22 to war with Iran. And a lot of people will believe it. Do you think that the politics in the U.S. are such now, though, that people are going to be a lot more skeptical? Oh, yeah. Because the neoconservatives have been effectively destroyed? Here's why I don't know that we can get involved in a war. So long as, well, you know, imagine this. Imagine Iran literally does set a bomb off in, I don't know, Philadelphia. And like shortly before there's like a, there's a bunch of videos going viral of a guy
Starting point is 01:04:54 screaming in the middle of Philly about the glory of Iran. And then all of a sudden a dirty bomb goes off and it just like irradiates a big portion of the city and it kills 10,000. Donald Trump would come out and call for retaliation. The Democrats would immediately come out and say, no, we reject this and we oppose it and we will not let this happen. Right. We need to do a proportionate response. No, they just say no. They'd say Trump is evil no matter what he does. So whatever it is he's doing, we're against.
Starting point is 01:05:21 I don't know if I agree with that, because the only time that the media and the Democrats cheered on Trump during the first term was when he struck Soleimani. Fair point. Fair point. I concede. That is a good point. Thank you. I do think the Democrats are just going to oppose whatever it is Trump is doing. So to be fair, if a dirty bomb went off, yeah, they'd probably say, oh, war.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Oh, we like war. War's good. That's the only thing they agree with Republicans on. That's why they're mad at Trump right now, because he doesn't want to get involved in the war with Iran. And that's why the establishment Republicans don't like Trump. It's all over foreign policy, for the most part. So then, I suppose the issue would be, if some kind of attack happened on the U.S., Trump would resist. And they would say, he's letting us be attacked, he's weak.
Starting point is 01:06:01 There would be a huge debate between Vance and Rubio, and they would fight for Trump's ear. Yeah. But I think Vance would say no. Yeah, Vance wouldn't want the war. But have you heard that Trump is touting Rubio as a potential successor? He's mentioned to me. Really? He mentioned both of them. Yeah. He said Vance and Rubio.
Starting point is 01:06:19 I heard the interviews that you're referring to. He talked about both of them. So, you know. Well, you could do a Vance Rubio ticket and then Rubio whoever else ticket after that. Who would be president after Trump? There's a lot of people. You don't like Vance? I like Vance.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Yeah, Vance is good. But does, you know, I would give Vance a B minus. Trump's got an A plus. Sure. Trump's a once inin-a-lifetime crazy guy. He's literally a, like, orange man. You know what I mean? It's like he's a unique, strong, tall, weird person.
Starting point is 01:06:57 And I mean weirder in a good way. Like, he is atypical. He is abnormal. J.D. Vance is as normal as they come. Yeah, but I think he could be good. And also, you have to remember, like Yeah, but I think he could be good. And also, you have to remember, like, vice presidents never get to do anything good. We're seeing him a lot more than we saw Kamala Harris. He's been doing an amazing job. Yeah. I'm just saying. I'm glad
Starting point is 01:07:14 that we've seen him out there a lot more than, you know, previous vice presidents. We never saw Pence. I mean, he sucked, but still. The Democrats have nobody with any X factor. Like AOC maybe has like on a scale of 1 to 100 a 2. It's like she's got celebrity there but not enough to be president. No she has political talent but I don't see it being presidential. I mean look at the people that they're pushing forward. Jasmine Crockett
Starting point is 01:07:37 she's awful. Hilarious and I want them to push her right to the front. To the front. To the front like when she boarded that plane in front of the disabled people? Yes. Oh, is that what she did? The more attention she gets, the happier I am.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Yeah, she was like, I'm super important. You got to let me on. Yeah, that's great. She is nuts. Wow. Gretchen Whitmer is terrible. She's been making moves, though. She is, but she still sucks.
Starting point is 01:08:06 I got to pull this story up from Semaphore. Soon everyone will know she sucks. This story is absolutely incredible. It made my day. Check this out. Dave Weigel, you know him, you'll love him, writes for Semaphore, Trump's falling in the polls. Why aren't Democrats benefiting? I don't even need to read it.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Because they're insane people with no plan, no leadership, and their ideology is backwards. Yes. Anything else? Also, everything they used to stand for, now that Trump stands for it, they hate it. And you're like, guys, you have no beliefs. You don't believe in anything at all. They're just on this shifting sands of what's fashionable at the time. I was speaking with Ryan Gerduski earlier, and the general premise is they have to oppose whatever it is Trump does. And so they're a party of nothing. They have no mission statement other than Trump is bad. Yes. But that only that only works on boomers. Yeah. And it has all of them. But it has been working on boomers really well. I mean, if you look at the polling, boomers are the only demographic in the U.S. where Trump is in negative numbers. And boomers are actually who delivered Canada for Carney as well. The rest of the Canadians were like, we just want to be able to afford a house. And everybody else
Starting point is 01:09:16 was like, but Trump. And they freaked out about that. It is kind of crazy that the the boomers are so detached from i mean any semblance of reality yeah yeah i i was talking to um jack so big about this earlier because we were we were talking about like how boomers just they don't want to share with lower generations they're the only they're the only demographic that ever just doesn't care if their kids are better off than them you know they just like hide out in their second homes and go off and find themselves and travel around and do all of this stuff. And it's like, you guys are so out of touch. Or have you seen this, this boomer grandparent thing? Have you seen this? So this is something like you've seen, you'll see like in Instagram or whatever,
Starting point is 01:10:01 millennials and Gen Xers will say, when I was a kid, I used to hang out with my grandparents all the time. I'd spend time with them in the summers. They'd come over and babysit me. I'd spend time with them on weekends. My parents would just drop me off. I had a great relationship with my grandparents. Where are my parents? They don't care about my kids. They are never here. They complain anytime I ask them to just look after the kids while I go to the doctor. You know, they just, and that's sort of, you know, I love my parents, but like, I ask them to just look after the kids while I go to the doctor. That's so sad. And that's sort of, you know, I love my parents, but like, where are you, fam? I never see you guys. Did you see that?
Starting point is 01:10:32 I think I might have it here, actually. There was that poll that went viral where they asked Gen Z in Canada, what is concerning you about, you know, what is your biggest issue with this election? They said the cost of living is my biggest issue or housing. And boomers all said Trump. That's exactly right. In Canada. Yeah, exactly. what is your biggest issue with this election? They said the cost of living is my biggest issue or housing. And boomers all said Trump. That's exactly right. In Canada. Yeah, exactly. Because the boomers are out of touch and crazed and obsessed with themselves,
Starting point is 01:10:54 just like they have been since the 1960s. They're the same as they always have been. I remember reading a New York Times article a few years ago, and occasionally their style section hits. And they have this article about I found the boomers who had been buying up single family homes or like homes that basically your to sell their second or third home to get their final home to downsize because they couldn't take care of it, they couldn't sell them because no millennial could afford it. And it was insane. And everything was hyper customized.
Starting point is 01:11:35 And it was like, my mom took the wall off the master bedroom of her beach house. So that like, she get what she wants. Libby, just a curtain. Right. So that when she's there Libby, just a curtain, right? So that when she's there by herself,
Starting point is 01:11:47 she's like, when I'm here by myself, it's like a loft. And when anybody else is there, there's just, there's no master bedroom. It's just like, I want to make sure,
Starting point is 01:11:54 I want to make sure we point out that half of boomers are good people. Some, I assume are good people. Look, look, look, look at this, look at this poll.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Look at this. This is abacusdata.ca. Yeah, we covered this at the Post Millennial. Gen Z, top issue, 45%, reducing your cost of living. Millennials, 50%. Gen X, 49%.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Boomers, 38%. It's not bad. Dealing with Donald Trump. Gen Z, 27%. Millennials, 28%. Gen X is 39%. Boomers is 50%. It is their number one issue.
Starting point is 01:12:28 That's right. And it's so stupid. He's not even in Canada. He's the president of a different country. Yeah. That's the thing. Oh, poor Gen Z, man. That's like the liberal wine moms who are like, my biggest scorer is Putin.
Starting point is 01:12:40 Can someone make the Wojak meme where it's the depressed looking guy, but Gen Z, and he says, I just want to buy a house and have a family. And then it's a boomer drinking tea being like, but orange man bad. Only if you can make sure that that boomer looks like they have four houses, because they do. Yeah, like 77% of boomers own homes. About 72% of Gen Xers own homes. Half of millennials and almost none of Gen Z. I think Gen Z is on the single digits.
Starting point is 01:13:07 I bought my house a couple of years ago, and I had to leave everywhere that I'm from in order to afford it. Yo, look at this. And I'm happy about it, but still, that's what I had to do. 27% of Gen Z said make housing more affordable. 9% of boomers. Yeah, they don't care. I already have three houses. They've got that equity. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Wow. I saw some boomers are trying to sell their second vacation homes on the coast of Maine and they can't find anyone to sell it to because the rest of us are broke. Canadian boomers may have polled the worst, most amoral people I've ever seen. Look at this.
Starting point is 01:13:43 Making Canada a better place to live. Gen Z, 18%. Millennials, 20. Gen X, 11. And boomers, 8. That's only because Gen Xers are apathetic and they don't think anything can actually be better. You go to a boomer and you're like, would you like to make things more affordable? No.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Houses? No. Make Canada better? No. Then what do you want? Trump sucks. They don't even have any plan for it. Just Trump sucks.
Starting point is 01:14:08 We want to defend against Trump. What is Trump going to do to you, you nutbag? That's amazing. Carney, just like he's campaigning and he's like, as the prime minister of Canada, I will impeach Trump. And he wins. Yeah, that's what happened. That's how that went down.
Starting point is 01:14:22 It's so insane. Wow. That's what happened. That's how that went down. It's so insane. Wow. That's incredible. This is funny, though. Gen Z, achieving reconciliation with indigenous people, 4%. Well, because come on now. We're all done with this. We have no problem.
Starting point is 01:14:36 We're all done with this. What does that even mean? Reconciliation. Reconciliation is a uniquely Canadian concept where the idea is that the white man was so terrible to the indigenous people. It's like reparations-ish. Yeah. Well, I used to play Sid Meier's Colonization in 1994, and the French get a trade bonus with Native Americans because, as history teaches us, the now Canadians were good to the indigenous. So there's nothing to reconcile.
Starting point is 01:15:05 Well, you can tell that they were good because they're not exterminated. Yeah, I also remember that. I mean, there are indigenous people in Canada, so already they did a better job. And there was the fake unmarked grave scandal with the Catholic Church. Totally fake. There was nothing there. Yeah. That was such a bad uptick.
Starting point is 01:15:18 That was actually evil. It was evil. Well, Canada is a weak people. You know, Canadians are very weak. Look at their governments. Come on, they just voted in the liberals. I mean, look, I'm sorry. You're going to get more hate mail.
Starting point is 01:15:31 That's fine. Pretty weak government. And it has been for a while. This is the fourth liberal party government. Have you ever seen the grip strength between men and women graph? Yes. I'm going to pull this one up and I'm going to make a point. Let me grab this image.
Starting point is 01:15:48 You're going to say Canadians are just a bunch of weak women who can't grip. My point is this. My point is this. Is there a way to make this? Oh, that's massive. That's big.
Starting point is 01:15:56 There you go. There you go. Okay. See the green? This is female grip strength. And the blue is male grip strength. You can see that very rarely there are some females who have a higher than a higher grip strength than males. But typically, even the strongest females have a have a grip strength that is lower than the average male.
Starting point is 01:16:17 OK, now replace males and females with the green is Canada and and the blue is America. You should draw that in. We voted for Trump twice and they can't even get past Trudeau. No, no. So listen, listen, here's my point. And what's sort of funny is that Trump basically pushed for Carney. Oh, he's laughing about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:40 And Carney was like, oh, Trump is terrible. And Trump was like, elect Carney and Carney wins. Real quick, I just want to say this. I understand that when you look at this graph, you can see there are some women that are stronger than the average man because there are many Canadians that are stronger than the average American. But that is the that the far end of the bell curve. That is a minority of people. They are living in the wilderness. They are stronger than average, stronger than me, better at survival than I could ever be, armed to the teeth, manly men, riding moose. That's right. But I'm talking about the majority of the people
Starting point is 01:17:14 who live on the U.S. border effectively, making their money off of the American economy and voting for a liberal government that is destroying their way of life. Statistics don't make sense. Yeah, well. That's like the people who are like, well, I know this one girl who beat this guy in a foot race. So, like, obviously, trans people are fine.
Starting point is 01:17:33 Yeah. I mean, what is it? We were talking about it earlier. It's like 90% of Canadians live within. 98, I think. 98, within 100 miles of the U.S. border. The idea that Canada can survive without the U.S. is comical. I guess it's just, you know, let's get the actual hard percent.
Starting point is 01:17:53 90 percent. Yes. So is it 90 percent of Canadians live within 100 miles of the U.S. border? It's a milder climate and they have access to U.S. trade. Yeah. And what percent of their economy is from U.S. trade? It's a pretty significant amount. And then the next 5% are within another 100 miles. 95% are with 200.
Starting point is 01:18:14 90% within 100. Alright, here's my challenge. Canadians, you think you're so tough? You're gonna sit here and be like, how dare you, Tim, disparage my great nation? Okay. Stop doing trade with America. Just stop. Stop doing any with America. Just stop. Stop doing any trade with us at all. Because I'll tell you this. The United States,
Starting point is 01:18:30 yeah, there's some businesses that'll go under. Everybody saw those videos where the Canadians were taking the whiskey off the shelves being like, we're not going to sell American whiskey anymore. Yeah. It's like you owned yourself. You have to drink Crown Royal. Right now they're all some losers. It's ridiculous. I assure you
Starting point is 01:18:45 if we shut the border with Canada, the U.S. would be a little teeny bit worse off. Trade is good, but Canada's in trouble. They're in big trouble. What are they going to do? Eat moose? Eat the Canadian cheese. Yeah. And they've got an awful lot
Starting point is 01:19:03 of syrup. They do. You they've got an awful lot of syrup. They do. You know, interesting factoid, maple syrup used to be the principal source of sugar for baked goods. That sounds like the greatest thing ever. I put a lot of, yeah, when I bake, I use maple sugar. Between maple syrup. Not even that, but like syrup. Could you imagine you're making cookies and it's like, I'm putting maple syrup in these chocolate chip cookies. That sounds so good.
Starting point is 01:19:24 It's really good. Now what do we do? Beat sugar? Well, you replace it with butter and sugar separately. But the only problem with using maple syrup. Oh, no, you put maple and butter. No, but I'm saying that because the texture would change, right? Yeah, it makes the batter runny.
Starting point is 01:19:37 Yeah. Yeah, that's the problem. You need a little more flour, and then you need a little more leavening to work it out. Maple sugar, then, will go your route. Yeah. Either way, that would taste so good.'s still it's so expensive yeah now we have syrup in my in my buttercream i make maple syrup vanilla buttercream you know where we get white sugar table sugar from right what beats yeah that's awful it is awesome you can also buy
Starting point is 01:19:59 you can get cane sugar yeah i know yeah i buy pure cane sugar buy pure cane sugar. More expensive. Get the organic, you know, because I'm that bitch, really. Yeah. But we're in maple country here. And I don't use vegetables. You drive like a half an hour and there's just maple syrup and going on all over the place.
Starting point is 01:20:13 I went to a place with Allison and it was just some like 80-year-old man and they had us watch a video about the history of their maple farm. Oh, that's awesome. It was amazing. It was like seven generations. I love that.
Starting point is 01:20:24 Yeah. I'm that. Yeah. I'm glad there was a video because a lot of those like veteran roadside stands in Virginia are total scams. We don't actually make the jam. They're liars. Oh yeah. Yep. Yep.
Starting point is 01:20:35 There's a, there's a company out here by us from Megan Markle or something. No, there's a company out here by us that mass produces jams, jellies, snacks, and then they label it for whatever farm or whatever. So you walk in and it'll be like
Starting point is 01:20:48 you know, Huckleberry Farms and you're like, yeah, this is made by like one company that sells to everybody. The tourists drive in from the city and go, oh look, farm jelly. And it's better than the store-bought high fructose corn syrup garbage, don't get me wrong, but it's not,
Starting point is 01:21:04 you know, you're just getting a white label jelly that you can buy from any one of these farm stores. Go to Orr's. And the antique stores. Farmer's Market. We got like, yo, if you like antiquing, this is where you go to antiquing. Oh, yeah. And they all sell jam.
Starting point is 01:21:18 I bought some cool stuff at an estate sale. There is an, in, it's near here. I think it might be maybe an inwood yeah there's an antique store and when you walk in the first room it's basically just nazi stuff everywhere creepy yeah and they're like you buy some stuff no that is world war ii paraphernalia yeah i would say that if allied stuff was in it too. There wasn't any Allied stuff? Like very little. All creepy German? Yeah, largely like German
Starting point is 01:21:50 stuff. But you know, I don't care. Antiquing, it's like they're artifacts. There's one place I went to it was really cool. They had a captured German gun. Like the sidearm. I forgot what kind of gun it is. I don't know. Was that what it was? Could have been. I don't know. Was that what it was?
Starting point is 01:22:05 Could have been. I don't know. And it had a certificate of authenticity. And I'm like, I totally get what people would buy that. I know. Some people are Nazis. Some people like history. There's a distinction.
Starting point is 01:22:15 I don't care. And there's a Venn diagram in there somewhere. I don't care what anyone calls me. If I can get my hands on a Sturmgewehr for less than 44 grand, I'm buying it. A what? Sturmgewehr. The first machine gun that the Nazis had. Okay.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Germans, and it was actually the AK-47 had a lot of influence from the Sturmgewehr. Interesting. We got a bunch of stories. Should we talk about this major Supreme Court ruling that Trump just won? That would be a good idea. Here we go from the Daily Mail.
Starting point is 01:22:42 Supreme Court rules on Trump's total ban on transgender troops saying, yep, a huge win for Trump. The Supreme Court ruling lifts the lower court's decision to pause Trump's policy, which the administration called dramatic and facially unfair. The order allows the DOD to continue removing trans service members from the military and denying enlistment while lawsuits continue in the lower courts. Yeah. So we're still going to hear it in the, what is it, the Fifth Circuit? The one in Louisiana?
Starting point is 01:23:07 Is that the Fifth Circuit? Well, Trump's policy is sound. Okay. First, gender dysphoria is a DSM-5 mental disorder. That is the academic description. Because it is, it allows people suffering from gender dysphoria to get prescribed medications. Were it not a mental disorder, they could not get prescribed medications or surgeries. Donald Trump is saying we are adding a mental disorder from the DSN-5 to the criteria that will bar you from entry.
Starting point is 01:23:34 There's a bunch of others. Schizophrenia, for instance. There's a bunch of mental disorders. There's like 44, I think. This is just one of them. The lower courts are basically telling the commander in chief of the armed forces. I should say this. They literally this judge literally wrote all means all saying you can't discriminate against a person for this reason. That means that the viral the viral meme that came out of this was a bipolar paraplegic must be allowed to enter the military and go through basic training, which is impossible. Trump's policy is sound. What he said was, if you are diagnosed with gender dysphoria,
Starting point is 01:24:09 but do not exhibit symptoms, you are fine. But if you are exhibiting symptoms, then you're out. That means if you're a man who dresses like a woman or is undergoing treatments and chemicals and whatever it is, then they're going to discharge you. Well, and a lot of people go into the military and then decide they're trans and then the military pays for it. One of the people who brought suit actually transitioned in the military, was in the military for like 19 years. So this case went to Washington, I think a court in Washington that put on the nationwide injunction. The Trump administration appealed it to the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit did not lift the injunction. So they did the emergency application to the Supreme Court that lifted the injunction while
Starting point is 01:24:55 it's being heard in the Fifth Circuit. There is no topic more absolutely insane than things like transgender people in the military. Transgender, the transgender issue overall is just a complete and total insane topic. The fact that we debate this is mind blowing. It is kind of, yeah. Look, to my Canadian friends, I know we made fun of you quite a bit tonight, but I have to admit the United States is a largely
Starting point is 01:25:25 unserious people as well. We may be tougher than you because we did elect Trump twice. Very fine people on both sides. Yes. You are a silly people.
Starting point is 01:25:35 We are also a silly people but slightly less to be fair. Admiral Rachel Levine. Oh, also removed, right? Thank God. I don't think so because they're in the...
Starting point is 01:25:45 He's in the National Health Corps? He should never... I thought there was a ruling saying Trump could fire... I saw something about that and it appeared on a lot of people's Twitter posts and I couldn't actually find it in real life. Yeah, you're right. I'm looking for it now. I see nothing.
Starting point is 01:26:01 Yeah, it's just a bunch of Twitter posts. It was just a bunch of people who were really excited about it. No, I think people might be saying this. This ruling would allow Trump to fire Rachel Levine. But Rachel Levine is in the health service. Doesn't matter. Yeah, I don't think it matters. And already is fired.
Starting point is 01:26:17 Thank God. Right? Because they're not the deputy or assistant health and human services secretary anymore. Yeah, I think you're right. Levine is not in the health some sort of health service first four-star female right yeah not even female insane crazy person they said female they kept yeah that's what they said first remember our female i don't care like i don't care. It's just lies. How sick of being lied to are you? But here's the thing. We joke and laugh about it.
Starting point is 01:26:51 50 to 100 years from now, if the woke win, no one will know this is a man. No. Because they rewrite all the articles to say she and her and first female. Well, yeah. You have to be careful about that and not lie. I mean, you just can't lie. They even remove Rachel Levine's name is removed
Starting point is 01:27:10 from the Wikipedia. Right. Look, if I changed my name to Phil Labonte, the Wikipedia would say, Phil Labonte born Timothy Poole. But if you are trans, they remove the history of your name. And they make it illegal for you to use the person's name.
Starting point is 01:27:26 You know, they do that, too. Look, there was absolutely out of control. I tweeted this just like yesterday or earlier today. There is a fairly famous trans woman that is saying the, you know, the bat shit crazy thing of if you don't like trans women, you don't like women. I saw your tweet on that. That is not even within the realm of sane. That is so crazy. And that is why the trans movement is going to fall apart.
Starting point is 01:27:58 You are not going to get lesbians to accept that they must have sex with a person with a penis. Isn't that crazy? It's insane. lesbians to accept that they must have sex with a person with a penis. The only way it's insane. I, I had a friend when I, uh, I haven't talked to this person since this point.
Starting point is 01:28:11 I lost a friend over this. Um, man, this is probably 10 years ago. She was saying that trans women are women and trans men are men. And I'm talking to her and I was like, well, I mean,
Starting point is 01:28:24 you know, like the trans women is a trans woman. And she's like, no, they're women I'm talking to her and I was like, well, I mean, you know, the trans women is a trans woman. And she's like, no, they're women. And I was like, I was like, but come on. Like, you know. What are they transitioning from? I was like, you don't, you're not saying literally. And she's like, yes.
Starting point is 01:28:33 And I was like, so you like men? She's like, yes. And I'm like, so you would be in a relationship with a trans man? She's like, yes, it's a man. And I was like, but they got lady parts. She was like, so? And I was like, are you into that and i was like but they got lady parts she was like so and i was like are you into that she was like i could learn to oh and then i was like oh my god so you're into
Starting point is 01:28:51 conversion therapy she snapped and then she was like you are what is wrong with you why are you even bringing this stuff up and i'm like you were you were bringing it up and i'm just having a conversation with you and that was the last time we ever talked what's wrong with you she asked what's wrong with you she's the one that is actually making the insane statements i just told her she was gay well i was reading some articles recently about uh ending um gender affirming care as they call it and then a separate bill about conversion therapy and i started to get confused because i was like aren't they the same thing um but there's actually a lot of news organizations now to your point about like they don't say trans woman anymore it's just woman a lot of news organizations like the washington post and politico have gotten away with all
Starting point is 01:29:40 signifiers of someone being transgender so you're not allowed to say um biological man or biological woman you're not allowed to say identifies as or born as because it all implies that the person is not actually the gender that they claim to be guess what guess what it's just lies yeah i'm gonna tell you end up with like you know this female like yeah female you know woman teacher rape student well here's the problem conservatives will say a transgender male to mean a guy who wants to be a woman but to a liberal they're hearing a trans man who's a female who wants to be a male because you have to do mental jumping jacks i'm just gonna i'm gonna say for now I'm just going to refer to when someone is female
Starting point is 01:30:27 and then undergoes drugs or surgery to appear male, or if they're male and do the same thing to be female, I'm going to call that conversion. It is conversion, yeah. Yeah, so you're undergoing conversion. Conversion treatment. Well, and the other thing, too, like, did you see, so Robert De Niro's 29-year-old son came out as trans recently
Starting point is 01:30:43 and was talking about how when he was a kid, he never heard anybody say that he was just right, just the way he is. And, you know, that if he'd heard that, then he would have felt better about himself coming out as trans. Maybe he would have come out trans sooner. But being trans is thinking that there's something wrong with you. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to take a bunch of weird drugs to mess up your whole body. I saw a great picture of Robert De Niro and his kid and Clint Eastwood and his kid. Clint Eastwood's kid is a normal dude. He's a man.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Gorgeous. Yeah, he's a man. But he looks totally normal. And Robert De Niro's kid is obviously an insane person. And obviously an insane person, yeah. And there's so many of these insane children in hollywood yes well uh bill maher made a great point he said what are we doing because it's not happening in ohio but it is happening in california well it is happening in ohio it's
Starting point is 01:31:38 happening all over the place he's pointing out the numbers yeah in california it's like 30 percent in ohio it's like two well apparently virginia it's like 2% Virginia has the highest per capita trans rate in the country apparently is that because of all the private schools in DC I think it's probably like a Nova thing I don't know I think it might just be that I do think
Starting point is 01:31:58 there's two big components and they're different I don't think men and women become trans for the same reasons that's 100% true men there's either fetishists. Yep. Like Leah Thomas. There's legitimate dysphoria, which, you know, some people, whatever that issue is, they have dysphoria. And then I also think that some of it is a hormonal imbalance, which may cause the dysphoria, like a lack of testosterone, low T guys. And so they don't feel like masculine enough
Starting point is 01:32:25 so they think they must be women. It's not that, it's that they're very low testosterone and very effeminate and they behave like women and then people tell them, you must be a girl and because they're agreeable and low T, they say okay. For trans men, people who are female, I think
Starting point is 01:32:42 a lot of it is growing up in a society that demonizes femininity, tells women to be bosses. We in the United States tell young girls to succeed, you have to be a CEO, not a mom. And so when they're growing up, they are being battered over the head socially with be a boss, be a CEO, be independent. And many of them internalize that. A lot of it is also sexual trauma. A lot of young women who experience sexual assault or persistent harassment in childhood use transitioning as a way to get away from the female body.
Starting point is 01:33:17 So they're no longer attractive to people who would take advantage. I think that's what happened with Ellen Page. I think that's probably right. I was reading a part of Ellen's book, Elliot's book, and the story very much is that she was mercilessly abused in Hollywood and raped. And then she talked about it in the press, how she was beating herself and self-harming, and then this was her out. And you see this- But it's an advancement of and self-harming. And then this was her out. And you see this-
Starting point is 01:33:46 But it's just an advancement of the self-harm. Yeah, right. It's like the peak of self-harm. And then it's a stay away from me. I'm not for, you can't touch me now. You don't want to touch me. It's sad. Right.
Starting point is 01:33:56 And I think of it like with anorexia or bulimia. When we see somebody who's anorexic, we say, stop, stop. Like you need help. You need treatment. We're going to help you. But with a lot of these people who are suffering a Brexit, we say, stop, stop. Like, you need help. You need treatment. We're going to help you. But with a lot of these people who are suffering from dysphoria or trauma, like you're describing it, people clap and cheer them on.
Starting point is 01:34:11 Yeah. They come on, come on, do it, do it. It's like, geez, man. It's like telling a person on a bridge to jump. It's messed up. It is messed up. That's what the liberals do, because for whatever reason, they're on the wrong side of everything. So including euthanasia, like in Canada, if we just go back.
Starting point is 01:34:27 Oh, yeah. By 2027, the mentally ill will be able to request government-assisted suicide to cure their suicidal ideation. Did you see the nonverbal woman who was trans? Okay. She couldn't speak. And they decided she was trans. There's going to be an individual who's nonverbal going to go, what's that? You said you want medical assistance in dying?
Starting point is 01:34:48 Well, OK, I guess. Well, in Quebec, what they're what they're doing now is you can do an advanced directive. So if you have dementia, you can tell your doctor that at a certain point you want them to kill you and they will just take that as future permission and just carry it out at some later point. A slippery slope. It's not slippery. It's like we're right there.
Starting point is 01:35:09 I mean, we're right. We're at the bottom of the slope. We're on the ground. The slope is gone. We slipped all the way down, and here we are. The New York Assembly just passed medical assistance in dying. I wrote about that for the New York Post, full-throated opposition to such horrors.
Starting point is 01:35:28 Jeez, man. I mean, imagine having a condition where like 70% of the time you can cure it by running and touching grass, and you're just like, no. Well, also in Canada, you can request MAID for non-fatal incurable, non-terminal incurable conditions.
Starting point is 01:35:44 You know what's crazy to me is that non-fatal incurable, non-terminal incurable conditions. You know what's crazy to me is that one of the reasons that I think they're introducing MADE is because they know they're going to have a wave of purposeless, depressed people. And it's going to be a lot of atheist females who are single and childless. And they're going to say, here's your opportunity. Medical isn't dying. Well, it would be a huge strain on the health service, which is
Starting point is 01:36:13 government-run there, and there's no kids to take care of them. Yeah. Chelsea Handler said she was happy. Sure. I don't know, man. Chelsea Handler said she was happy. She. I don't know, man. Chelsea Handler said she was happy. She's also the one who said she likes to wake up on Saturday and get high and masturbate. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:31 And then go back to sleep. Pretty bleak. Seems really sad and depressing. If that were my life, I would find that sad and depressing. Well, we're going to go to your chats, my friends. So smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know. That uncensored call-in show is coming up at 10.
Starting point is 01:36:46 You don't want to miss it. It's going to be over at Rumble.com slash TimCastIRL. My friends, let's see what you guys have to say. Shane H. Wilder says, TimCast's own Pop Culture Crisis is now simulcasting on Rumble. Go subscribe. There are still a few kinks to work out with Rumble Rants and the crisis parties. But Brett and Mary deserve a follow. Definitely. Pop Culture Crisis, deserve a follow. Definitely.
Starting point is 01:37:06 Pop Culture Crisis, it's a fantastic show. And if you haven't seen it, you're missing out. Let's see. Flan the Man says, where is Mary? Something is indeed happening. Good point. Mary's, you know, she's like, I'm in the nothing ever happens camp. And now she's ragging on me because I keep bringing it up.
Starting point is 01:37:23 It's not about Mary, though. It's about Gen Z in general. She would definitely say that. would definitely say the gen z age what's the time period for them right now i think it's i think it's like 15 to 27 years old she would definitely say that 90 97 to uh 2012 or something so my son is is gen z if he's 15 right now yes i believe so about that she would say this isn't happening because it's not happening here. Right. I think that's true. 97 to 2012.
Starting point is 01:37:51 Okay. And Gen Alpha is 2013 until now. There's different estimates for when Gen Alpha will end. And some say it'll be a shorter generation. They're basing this off of the technological and cultural developments of that period.
Starting point is 01:38:05 What makes a group of people similar to each other? So, for instance, like millennials coming of age around the in the early 2000s and starting without Internet and moving into an Internet era. Whereas Gen Z was born with the internet. By the time they were 10, the internet was ubiquitous, and then Gen Alpha is after that. Interesting. Yep. If we extend Gen Alpha to 15 years, the estimate is 48 million. That is a microscopic generation. That's pretty small.
Starting point is 01:38:40 Yep. Wow. Labor crisis. How fun. Gen X is also pretty small, i recall but right now gen x is still i think 60 69 million comparable in size to gen z yeah try jim says hey tim nuclear war isn't that bad you don't have to worry about global warming with nuclear winter maybe greta thunberg will finally shut her yeah nah she doesn't care about global warming anymore she's israel did you
Starting point is 01:39:03 see she had that video come out where she was like we were attacked or something yeah I don't know what it was about because I don't care what she's doing but she didn't even care about climate change
Starting point is 01:39:10 anymore she's just like Israel they're bad so you're out of it well I'm actually if we can convince all of these global lunatics to abandon their cause and just
Starting point is 01:39:21 hyper focus on Israel it would end a lot of politicking you know for the better. Not for Israel, but, you know, too bad. Well, who cares about that? But, like, look at Greta Thunberg abandoned her global mission. Now she's just like, I'm concerned about this small strip of land.
Starting point is 01:39:38 Yeah, she was supposed to be on a boat the other day going from Malta to try and run the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Yeah, got attacked, right? and yeah the boat got attacked but after it got attacked it turned out that it also wasn't sailing under any flag because the republic of palau or whatever had revoked the flag so no one would let the boat land anywhere at any dock because it had no flag and it had no insurance and the whoever the prime minister of malta was like, if you let us check out what you're carrying on that boat, then, you know, we'll let you dock and we'll help you with repairs. And the people on the boat from the Freedom Flotilla or whatever NGO it was called, they were like, no, you can't come on. We're not going to tell you what we're carrying. We just live in the ocean now. Yeah. And they can't.
Starting point is 01:40:23 Yeah. That's awesome. Malta was like, just tell us what's on your boat. They were like, no, we won't. Creepy. Totally creepy. You know? And all the press about it was like, oh, they attacked a humanitarian aid. And it's like, really? What?
Starting point is 01:40:38 Really? If it was humanitarian aid, they would have let them on the boat. They would have just told them what was on the boat. I've got a super chat here that I can't read. So I'm going to save it for the uncensored portion because it's very good. Okay. Michael Circerelli says,
Starting point is 01:40:54 I know that I'm late on this, but for a show that only has one basketball reference, shout out to Muggsy Bows, Tim has had a couple sick 360 windmill dunks from the free throw line over the past week, i.e. White House and Piers show. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice. Thank you, man.
Starting point is 01:41:12 I really appreciate that super chat. I try. You know, I think one of the big issues, I was saying this before, like the White House people were saying they thought I was a hermit and I wouldn't go anywhere. And I was like, what do you mean? I flew to New York to go on Jesse Waters' show, which I will be doing again in a couple weeks. Oh, that's nice. Hey, you could be killing it. Yeah, they could.
Starting point is 01:41:30 You'd like to go to New York for it? Because if I go to New York, then I can go on a bunch of shows at once. And so we're reaching out to a bunch of different... Gotcha. So there's actually a couple shows I'm going on when I go to New York. And, eh, D.C., we're here all the time.
Starting point is 01:41:43 Yeah. So, you know, getting out. But I've got to do it. So Piers Morgan's team has reached out quite a bit. And. Okay. Did you guys see the. I got to play this.
Starting point is 01:41:56 I got, I got, I got to play this. I feel like I know what you're referencing. You probably do. Cause it's going massively viral. Yeah. I didn't know exactly what it is. It was all over my ex account today. Here it is.
Starting point is 01:42:07 I don't know what that says about me, but... I got to play this clip. I was watching Piers. Yeah, there it is. Are you guys ready? Ah, hilarious. Can you play this? What?
Starting point is 01:42:18 Are you allowed to play this on this part of the show? Nobody says anything nasty. Oh, okay. True. Actually, Mark Lamont Hill does use a racial slur okay but where's the audio oh no backlashing about this i can say things to white people all the time and they never get canceled there's no backlashing about this i want to live in a country where people are allowed to say what they want unashamedly. And you can, you will not have to speak. Well, go on then, say it.
Starting point is 01:42:46 You will not have to speak. Go on, say the N-word. Go on. No, no, no. Hang on, hang on. No, no, no. We don't want you to invite this woman to say a racially harmful term in front of me. Because I'm the only one here. So if she says it, I'm the victim of it.
Starting point is 01:42:59 So please don't invite her for ratings to call me the N-word. Because that's basically what it's going to be. There's a bunch of white people up here. And one Uncle Tom on the left here. And to ask her to say the N-word while I'm here is ridiculous. You are not sitting here with a Jewish person and saying, please use a Jewish slur in front of this Jewish. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:43:16 I understand you don't have any bad intent, Pierce. I understand what you're trying to do. But we already know she's racist. I hear you. And I don't want to invite a racial harm to me. I hear you. I hear you. And I accept that. Racial harm. harm to me. I hear you. I hear you. And I accept that.
Starting point is 01:43:26 Racial harm. Thank you all very much. Okay. So first of all, he called Myron Gaines and uncle Tom, which is a racial slur. And the funny thing is in the, in the full show,
Starting point is 01:43:36 uh, Myron's like, I'm, I'm the definition of an African American. Like, and he's like, no, you don't count your Sudanese or like Mark Lamont Hill said something like that dan it's in africa i'm like he he said he said
Starting point is 01:43:50 myron wasn't black at one point or something like that and then said like it's basically all white people here i'm watching this i'm like myron's african-american he's but because he's not born in america he's an African to American immigrant, I guess. So he doesn't count as being black. Did the flag on his gun say the N-word on it? I have no idea what it said. I think it probably said bang. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:44:15 Yeah. Yeah, that would be my guess. Yeah, because I doubt he would hold that up on Pierce's show. Pierce is not going to invite him back. But maybe, I don't know, Myron gets, you know, pretty offensive at times. Either way, that clip was wild. Pierce, yo, buddy.
Starting point is 01:44:32 No, the gun had the N-word on it. Did it really? Well, according to everyone reposting the clip. But where would you even get that? So, but I watched this on his show and it was blurred. So how would they have seen it? Unless Myron showed people.
Starting point is 01:44:44 Maybe he did. Well, because Myron might have it on his own show yeah but here's the thing myron's black yeah i don't know yeah i don't know i just gotta say peers what were you thinking telling a white woman to drop an n-bomb on your show that's so weird go ahead say it what no well it also misses the point which is she's saying like I want to live in a world where and he's telling her to do it but like she's making the I don't live in that world. So you know I
Starting point is 01:45:14 understand the point that Lily was making. Yeah. And Piers like the reason I brought this up is I think the whole show was I think it was handled poorly largely on Piers's point. But Lily also could have done better. I do not respect the idea that you just want to go out and and and insult people and use slurs against them.
Starting point is 01:45:35 I do respect the idea that we should have free speech equally. And one side of any racial group should be allowed to use racial slurs against another. And you have a double standard. And I don't want to see people have their lives destroyed over a stupid viral video when they're like a private person who's getting in this argument. I think the challenge with it is, like, yes, I agree. The challenge with it is companies are largely like, look, you are well known for doing something that most people don't like, so I don't want to work with you. There's a challenge for, look,
Starting point is 01:46:05 I run a company, I have a business. If someone who worked here went on the middle of the street, holding up some like really offensive sign. And it was like, where the line calling for genocide or who knows what, how am I going to run a business when advertisers are saying, yo,
Starting point is 01:46:21 that crossed the line. My, it depends on your job though. I think like, what if she works at the local bank right does anyone care no one's gonna know and and so for us we're like that's why i think if you're in the media space it is different yeah totally being said it is the threshold for us here at timcast is largely criminal so we've had people here go on x and post really messed up stuff and i'm like oh and then i've had people here go on X and post really messed up stuff.
Starting point is 01:46:45 And I'm like, and then I've had people tweet at me and be like, did you see what your employee said? And I'm like, I did. You're going to fire them. And I just put LOL. I don't think,
Starting point is 01:46:52 you know, you're talking to like some, someone on their own free time said a naughty word on X. What am I going to do about it? Knock on their door and be like, Hey, I police your life now. What is this?
Starting point is 01:47:02 Communism? I don't want to live in that world. I want a private business. Someone comes here to clean my floors. I'm going to tell them what they can or can't say. Yeah, that would be crazy. But that's the world that they want to live in. That's the world a lot of people want to live in.
Starting point is 01:47:13 Except when it happens to them, and then they find it confusing, and they wonder what happened. Yo, that clip was hilarious, though, because Piers was like, do it. Say it like Piers. You knew where that was going. You got two black guys on your show show and you told the white woman to
Starting point is 01:47:28 drop an n-bomb why should have hilarious why she's already said it look Piers Morgan's show is like Maury Povich yeah he gets people to do outrageous things that's part of his MO give him what he wants give him the clip he wants not like
Starting point is 01:47:44 Lily cares you you know? Yeah. The whole point of that show is the outrage. The whole point of Piers' show is outrage. I would love to do the culture war with Zoom calls because we would get a lot more people if we did. But it doesn't work. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:01 It doesn't work. Like even when I'm doing these one-on-one interviews in the morning, it's really hard to have interaction because we can't really see each other. No, I do those all the time. Like I'll do you know, like Newsmax or whatever
Starting point is 01:48:15 from my house. And you have to like you have to just pretend that you're in person. And it's not easy. No, it's not. There's also issues with time. Yeah. The delay is weird. Like it's also,
Starting point is 01:48:29 you can't say thanks for having me. There's no time. Not just that. I don't know what their time is. Yeah. Cause they don't come in your ear and tell you like, we've got to wrap. Right.
Starting point is 01:48:37 Yeah. Sometimes it does make it harder. The good shows will start playing slow music will rise. Or the host will start sort of politely interrupting you. And you can kind of, like Fox does that. You can kind of tell. Yeah, I know. But like that is crude in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:48:51 It's not ideal. It helps if you know how long, like if they tell you you're on for like two segments and this is how long each segment is, then you can like figure it out on your own. I went on Charlie Kirk's show recently and they said, here's how we're going to break down the time. And I have a clock right there. So like, easy. Yeah. And then Charlie at the end will be like, with a minute left, tell us this. And you're like, okay, I got a minute.
Starting point is 01:49:12 That's always a good move. Yeah. We used to have this host that did Rising with me and she was remote in North Carolina. And it was so impossible to have a real debate because it was like, she talks for three minutes and then I talk for three minutes because you can't have any cross talk right the time delay exactly it's just because then you just sound like a jerk because it sounds like you're actually interrupting them indeed
Starting point is 01:49:34 let's grab some more jeffrey french pods or is it pds i don't know tim it's china using pakistan perhaps saint miles says hind Hindus believe in reincarnation. They are afraid of coming back as a bug. That wouldn't work on me. Coming back as a bug? No, why? They don't live that long. Yeah, it's true.
Starting point is 01:49:55 So it's like, most bugs don't get squashed. Most bugs just be chilling. Just kind of die. Yeah. I mean, we have waves of bugs here at the boonies in the skate park. The first bugs, I think they were stink bugs.
Starting point is 01:50:07 Oh, I hate stink bugs with a burning passion. But then we had crickets. Not so bad. Then we had ladybugs. Not so bad. Those aren't bad. Then we had wasps. That's terrible.
Starting point is 01:50:16 Very bad. The wasps seem to be gone and we're back now to, I think it's stink bugs. I have a, maybe it's a cycle. Maybe they're just reincarnating. I think they're all competing and eating each other in cycles. Yeah. I have wasps. There's like occasionally wasps at my house, but they're paper wasps.
Starting point is 01:50:33 So they, they're like eating my deck chairs. Oh, you know, I actually like stink bugs. I don't like the number of them. I can't stand stink bugs. They're hilarious. They look so insane. I don't know. There's something about their spiky little edges and the pattern on them that freak me out. I think just
Starting point is 01:50:50 because growing up in rural Maryland as a kid, there's a stink bug infestation. The thought of that just really scared me. But they're super chill. They're also an Asian invasive species. That's true. And I'm a kudzu. The Asian lady beetles. Oh oh the lantern flies
Starting point is 01:51:05 yeah yeah those are gross i just i can't stand invasive species i was uh recording a segment once and when i wrapped i looked up and there was a stink bug and it was clapping it was going like this and i was like thank you you once freaked me out there was a stink bug on my mic and you like pointed it out and i lost it i would freak freak out. I hate bugs. But stink bugs don't do anything. They smell bad. We put one in a water bottle once and shook it up and then opened it in front of my cat's face. And it blasted it.
Starting point is 01:51:31 He went, oh no. They stink. Yeah. But they're chill. Someone's going to cry animal abuse now. Crickets. Crickets are chill. No, nobody likes bugs.
Starting point is 01:51:42 No, the cat. A lot of crickets. A lot of crickets in here. The good thing about the crickets is that we could scoop them up and throw them to chickens. You know what I mean? I was thinking what we need to do is just get a chicken and let them loose. Her. Run around.
Starting point is 01:51:55 Because roosters don't care to eat because they don't make eggs. Right. So they just watch and they look around all crazy as the hens go nuts and just attack everything. One of our chickens once ate a mouse. Oh, really? Yeah, they do that. That's wild. Chickens, man, they're crazy.
Starting point is 01:52:09 Mm-hmm. Little dinosaurs. All right. Pinochet says, if a nuclear war occurs, Democrats should immediately run outside to take in the view and the rays, get it over with. Ha-ha. To be honest, we're not going to get by a nuke, so that's just, nothing's ever going to happen.
Starting point is 01:52:24 It's not. Geocolio says, Tim Gass should make several shows on nuclear war and survival and bring on some experts on how to survive nuclear war. There are several writers out there that are good sources. That'd be a cool culture war. That would be a good one. Talking about surviving a nuclear apocalypse. You get like a prepper on there too. Yeah, I think we have done that before.
Starting point is 01:52:45 It's fun. So how many cans of beans do you have? 5,000. They would never tell you. I have. A real one would not tell you. Yeah. They wouldn't tell you?
Starting point is 01:52:55 Why? No, because they don't want people coming to their house for supplies. Yep. Yep. Sounds like a video game. It's true though. All right, let's see.
Starting point is 01:53:04 Jinx. B. Walsh. All right, let's see. Jinx. B. Walsh says, please read this ASAP. John Bolton gave an interview on New Delhi TV last night saying India had a right to attack. Interesting. Shut up, John Bolton. Yeah, shut up, John Bolton. Now I'm changing my whole perspective on this thing. Nicosius says, I've attended a gay wedding where one groom was Indian and one was Pakistani.
Starting point is 01:53:27 Not only did I survive, I had a blast. Figuratively. Phil, only in America. Only in America. What do we have? Let's grab it. Peter says, did Israel bomb a Yemen airport today? Also, World War III question mark.
Starting point is 01:53:45 I think we did talk about that. Yeah, the Sana'a, the airport. Yeah. Sana'a. I'm still a no on World War III. None of these. The only thing they could get, in my opinion, the only thing that would really set up World War III is if China decides that they're going to back the Paks. Because China and Pakistan have kind of an alliance.
Starting point is 01:54:04 Back the PACs? So they have like t-shirts printed up? Pakistan. If you say PAC-ese, that's wrong. No, that's racist. That's racist. All right. Cowey Ryder says, what do you think the chances are that any country has successfully developed
Starting point is 01:54:16 an antimatter bomb? 100%. What would be an antimatter bomb? The, I believe as we know it right now, it would be the most devastating explosive, the most compact. When antimatter comes into contact with its opposite matter, it releases 100% of its energy. Oh, wow. So a very, very tiny amount of antimatter could create massive explosions. The issue is I think antimatter costs something like $1 trillion per gram. Oh, so it's either that or a defense department.
Starting point is 01:54:47 Let me take a look. How much antimatter does the U.S. have? Probably like it's a microscopic amount. I think they've definitely got it. Nanograms. Wow. Billions of a gram. Obviously, because it's, you know.
Starting point is 01:55:06 Fermilab has produced approximately 15 nanograms of antiprotons. It's really hard to keep that stuff from interacting with regular protons. It's not very stable. Well, it's not that it's not stable, it's just that when it comes in contact with, so it's just
Starting point is 01:55:22 negatively charged, and when it comes in contact with a positive charged proton it annihilates and protons and and and those subatomic particles are all over the place so oof and that is not nearly enough it would be you ready point zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero 0.0000000000000064 tons of TNT. Yeah, not much at all. Yeah. A very, very small explosion based on the amount of nanograms Fermilab has. But what else?
Starting point is 01:55:58 We have more than that. Let's see. Okay. LLNL has 100 billion positrons. Has generated 100 billion positrons. That's a lot. No, I bet it's not. What about 100 billion positrons?
Starting point is 01:56:17 Yeah, but that's what they tell us about. True. Let's see. That is minuscule. It would be the equivalent of a single raindrop hitting your skin. A positron is the opposite of an electron. An electron
Starting point is 01:56:34 is one of the smaller subatomic particles before you get to the particles. Well, I mean, yeah, it's one of the smaller subatomic particles. I just think they ain't telling us. I don't know. But it's not easy to make antimatter.
Starting point is 01:56:52 It's not, you know, because if it comes in contact with matter, it annihilates. All right. Nicholas Gonzalez says there's already a movie about invading Canada called Canadian Bacon starring John Candy. Really? I love John Candy. He was funny. He was hilarious. Arsenal Man says, when the boomers die, who gets their stuff? BlackRock.
Starting point is 01:57:12 Yeah, it goes into some sort of arbitration. Well, here's my prediction, and it's probably way off because of all the variables, but it's completely wrong. Boomers die, the housing market is going to be insane. A house today that's $500000 will be 2 million by then in the next 15, 20 years or more. Gen Z and millennials will have no money to purchase these properties for such extreme high prices. So the people who inherit
Starting point is 01:57:39 them, which are going to be older millennials and Gen Xers, younger Gen Xers, older millennials, they will say, I don't care. I don't want the house. Just sell it. The agent's going to be older millennials and Gen Xers, younger Gen Xers, older millennials, they will say, I don't care. I don't want the house. Just sell it. The agent's going to say, okay, we'll put up for $2 million. No one's buying. We'll drop it to $1.7. No one's buying.
Starting point is 01:57:54 $1.4? Okay, we got an offer from BlackRock. And Gen Z's going to go, wow, I wish I could afford a house. Yeah, I will say if I inherited properties from my mother, who has very nice properties, I would keep them. And I would share them with my child. Agreed. So I imagine, without saying where they are, they're probably thousands of miles away or a thousand miles away. Where?
Starting point is 01:58:21 Properties that you would inherit would be very far from where you are now. Mine aren't. No, you know, East Coast. But, so, hundreds? Yeah, hundreds. How do you maintain the house? I don't know. I really, all I have so far...
Starting point is 01:58:35 A-labors? Good neighbors. All I have right now, Tim, are financial visits. What happens if a pipe bursts while you're not there? House is gone. Well, you have to visit occasionally, yeah. People have summer houses. Yeah. Indeed they do. And you've got to turn the is gone. Well, you have to visit occasionally, yeah. People have summer houses. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:45 Indeed they do. And you got to turn the water off. Yeah, you go like once a quarter. Yep. And then you have good neighbors. I mean, these are places I already go frequently because my mother is there. On average, I think people underestimate
Starting point is 01:58:57 how hard it is to maintain a house. Well, you have like a lot of properties. And it's insane. Yeah. It's ridiculous. I have one. we have the old the old studio and like the ac was leaking and then it's like okay well i mean look we have to have staff who go there every day and run a checklist to make sure it's a good idea to have
Starting point is 01:59:16 like i've got you know my house in new hampshire and there are people that live there and i rent it out to them that's not a bad way to actually have property that, that is maintained, or at least, you know, what's going on. Yeah. You've got an eye kept on it. Indeed.
