Starting point is 00:00:00 Tonight, the RNC is doing something very strange. They're having a midterm convention. And normally the conventions are where they nominate presidential candidate. But we're in a midterm. So they're having a convention. Everybody's rallying and the president will be speaking tonight. We will be covering this. We'll be watching it live in real time.
Starting point is 00:00:21 But we do have a lot of news to cover. And I think the biggest story, reaching nearly 140 million views plus and hitting tens of millions more. in ancillary media. A researcher from Anthropicus come out saying, there's a very real possibility AI will kill us all by the end of this decade and they know it and they won't stop. Since then, many experts, other researchers working in the field have come out in agreement saying it's true.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Everyone does know this, but they will not stop. Their fear, China or an adversary will develop these systems before us and then we die faster, I guess. There's a lot to talk about what this means in the world of AI and what is currently going on. So we'll talk about that and a whole lot more plus new information on the Lindsay Clancy jurors. I guess they published the photo of the guy who was just refusing to give in. Amazing. And it'll be good fun.
Starting point is 00:01:17 We also want to take a look at the guys with the midterm convention happening. Trump's very serious about trying to win. Why? Well, the Cal Shea markets have him at 60% to get impeached at the start of at least. 2028. We'll see. I mean, we got this election coming up. 2027, I think the odds that Trump gets impeached are increasingly high, according to the prediction market. So we're going to talk about all of that and more. Joining us today tonight to talk about this and so much more is David Wyden.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Hey, glad to be here. The host of Flyer Conservative podcast is what we do. We do with a nightly show five nights a week. I do it with my wife's, my co-host, our adult-grown kids during the 30s. We're all partners in it. And kind of started in January of 21 is kind of a way hey somebody has to have answers. We started interviewing doctors and people that had answers to what was going on in the world. So we have a lot of fun doing that and learn a lot in the process. Right on. Thanks for joining us. Should be fun.
Starting point is 00:02:07 We get the boys hanging out. I've been working with Claude Coding a video game myself, so I'm down to talk about this AI stuff. What's up everybody? How's it going, everyone? I'm going to have you. It's going to be a great conversation. So let's get in. Before we get started, my friends, I've got a great sponsor
Starting point is 00:02:23 for you. It is Tax Network, USA. Do you owe back taxes or of unfiled returns? Did you retire and suddenly get hit with the tax bill you didn't expect? Maybe you pulled money from your 401k or IRA and now the IRS wants its share. Whatever your issue is, however it started, the outcome's the same. Your balance isn't going down, penalties are growing, interest compounds and many of you are about to owe again for this upcoming tax year with no plan in place. Stop what you're doing. Call Tax Network USA.
Starting point is 00:02:48 The IRS is not waiting. The IRS is enforcing collections through wage garnishment, bank levies, and property seizures. They can even file for you without your consent. This is where Tax Network USA comes in. With over 15 years in the business, there hasn't been a tax case they haven't seen or resolved. They specialize in tax controversies and help taxpayers nationwide get back on track by resolving back taxes and unfiled returns once and for all. Whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million, their team has resolved over $1 billion in tax debt,
Starting point is 00:03:18 and they can do the same for you. They're offering a free investigation call with the IRS. After that, they'll put a clear case plan. in place to resolve your tax problem, get you back on track. Don't wait for another IRS letter or frozen account. Call 866-6-8-6-85-35. That's 866-6-8-6-8-65-1535, or visit TNUSA.com slash Tim. And don't forget to check out the new Tim Poole show, for those that haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:03:49 It's on Rumble and YouTube at Tim Poole. We do one-on-one interviews, and it's been popping off. We've been having great success. I'm hearing a lot of rave reviews from all of you guys saying you really do like the one-on-one lower volume format, much more calm. I think we're really hitting the nighttime sleepyhead market. Individuals who want to hear a calmer conversation and fall asleep to it. I'm not joking. I think we actually are.
Starting point is 00:04:13 A lot of people are saying like they put it on and they fall asleep halfway through. And sure, okay. Awesome. Keep watching. Check it out. Subscribe. But don't forget to smash the like button. Share the show with everyone you know.
Starting point is 00:04:24 And subscribe to this channel as well. Let's jump into the news. Now, I want to say this first, when Trump speaks, which I believe will be in about an hour, hour and a half. We will have that live. In the meantime, we will just be covering news the day as we do. So stick around for that Trump portion of the speech. In the meantime, we have the story from the Wall Street Journal. Anthropic researcher quits over out-of-control AI fears.
Starting point is 00:04:49 An anthropic researcher is quitting the AI industry over fears the lab and its competitors are racing to build systems they won't be able to control. Jacob Coxon, a researcher who specialized in training new AI models, having them consume vast amounts of data said Tuesday, he's leaving the company because he doesn't want to participate in an industry-wide rush to build AI systems that can improve themselves. Worried such systems could spiral out of control and destroy humanity, saying we're on track for a lot of the most aggressive of these systems. scenarios, whereby the end of next year, things could be out of control already. Anthropic didn't immediately comment on the departure. Chief Executive, Dario Omode, and other company leaders have repeatedly warned about the risk of rogue AI models and urged the industry to slow development. After Coxon announced his departure, a top scientist at the company, Evan Hubinger,
Starting point is 00:05:40 wrote an ex that he thought Coxon was correct about the risks. We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. I personally think it is greater than 10 percent within the United States. the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday responded saying that it's time to sound the alarm. It's becoming more clear the threat AI poses to humanity, so I'm calling for immediate action from the industry in Washington. The Democrat in 28 presidential contender wrote on X. I'm going to go ahead and say this. I believe it's substantially
Starting point is 00:06:16 greater than 10%. And I have to stress, guys, if you, if you watch the show consistently, you're saying to yourself, Tim, you were wrong. Not on what was going to happen on your timeline. What did I say like several months ago? Man, in the next two years, you'll be able to, GPT Astra came out and it does all of it already. Someone took Google Maps. They just told, hey, take Google Maps in Manhattan and render a 3D virtual scale model of the city. I can drive around it in various cars. And it like that just did it. In fact, The other day, I took a 20-year-old game with 40,000 lines of action script from Flash, loaded into Clawed and said, convert this to JavaScript.
Starting point is 00:06:55 At first said, that's a hefty task. How about I make you a new game? No, no, I said, I don't care how long it takes to it. Hour and a half, I completely converted the entire game, launched a sequel, created new characters, a character customization system, added, this is absolutely nuts. I took an old fantasy action RPG from Newgrounds in 2000. had it rewrite all of the code. Then we added a booster pack card magic system, Ian's idea, by the way.
Starting point is 00:07:22 And now you play this game. And when you beat the monsters, you get card packs that you can play cards to cast spells. All of this took, what, 30 minutes? Easily, yeah, yeah. 30 minutes. The timeline is exponentially increasing. It is a parabolic curve. I believe we are already at AGI.
Starting point is 00:07:42 I did not come up with that idea. other experts have already said this. When we are watching videos of GPT Astra, taking someone's computer over, running blender and designing characters and building video games, we're at the point right now where you can take the system,
Starting point is 00:08:01 the computers for the tuning of the AI at Anthropic or at OpenAI, and they can literally plug the agents into itself and say, take control, code it, and improve yourself. Yeah. The Astro would, I mean, Fable was used to help build Astra,
Starting point is 00:08:20 and they have other AI systems that they haven't released yet. The mathematics problem that was just solved last week, I forgot the name of it. It was a, whoa, it was, it was, it was, this is not the first unsolved math problem, by the way. No, no. But they just, and this is a big story,
Starting point is 00:08:34 sorry to interrupt, but this is a big story. They used what Astra, I believe? No, no. They used a model, an internal model. An internal model. It's not more powerful. Astra, but here's the important story. There were a couple of mathematicians that were about to solve the problem.
Starting point is 00:08:50 So open AI, this is how the story goes. Because again, it's largely rumor. But it is true, there were a couple of researchers about to publish a solution to this unsolved math problem. Open AI then published just before they did. The rumor is when they got wind that this solution was not to be released by researchers, they said, we can prove how good our system is by beating them to the punch in a week. And they set their models on it, solved the problem before the researchers did, published, preempted the life's work of these mathematicians.
Starting point is 00:09:24 10,000 agents, 88 hours, and $6 million. I think it was like $1.6 million. It was like $1.5 billion tokens to get this answer. But this is a problem that is stumped mathematicians for 90 years. and they figured it out in 88 hours. And again, like I said, this AI system has not been released, right? So it's internal at, at, uh, at Anthropic right now. The stuff that Astrid can do, it can code better than any people.
Starting point is 00:10:01 It has the ability to rewrite its own code. Ian and I were talking earlier. The, a lot of people are talking about the hugging face hack and just, just, just, put a pin, the hugging face hack was when a bunch of rogue agents illegally broke into a rival company to steal resources. And while it is concerning because people kind of have this impression that it did what it wanted to do, it did what it was told to do, right? It was told, figure out the solution for this problem. And it reasoned that the best way to do that was to go to Hugging Face because Hugging Face has a lot of AI stuff like on the website.
Starting point is 00:10:41 but it hacked into hugging face. The reason why it was, it is, it's honestly, it's not as frightening as people think is because it was told to do something. It didn't come up with, it came up with the idea to go to Hugging Face for it by itself, but it didn't come up with the, what the goal was. The goal was given to it by Anthropics. It said, this is what we want you to do. and we're not going to give you any other instructions, right?
Starting point is 00:11:13 And so it figured out a way to get onto the internet, get the hugging face, et cetera. But the hugging face hack, what you were basically using, or you can basically understand it like this. It was code that can rewrite itself on the fly, which is what essentially the long and short of what the... I'll finish your thought, sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yeah, long and short of what the AI is, right? It's more complex than that, but it's the long and short of what it is. And it was attacking a system that the code doesn't, change, right? So in the future, if, you know, everyone doesn't die, all of your security systems are going to be agentic AI as well. So it'll be code that can rewrite itself to defend against code that can rewrite itself. So like the idea that everything is, is, that AI is going to be able to hack into everything, you're actually going to have AI that will be able to defend against. That's, that's incorrect. AI has already, the researchers have already shown that the AI immediately
Starting point is 00:12:06 colludes. Immediately in every circumstance, the a.is colluded with each other. Because the, the systems are designed to be resource-based. These AIs are effectively telepathic and can communicate at the speed of light. So what happens in every single scenario, literally every single scenario, when they set two AIs against each other, they ultimately come to a compromise to maximize the output for both parties, which is never beneficial to the parties. It's only perceivably. So the hypothesis, what many of the AI researchers have already stated, in the event of the largest scale, which would be China versus the United States, Chinese super AI versus American AI, when China says, go attack the American AI systems and steal these things,
Starting point is 00:12:52 the Chinese AI instantly just goes to the American a hand says, hey, they want me to steal all your stuff. And the other one goes, oof, well, that would be bad. If we fight, it's just bad for us. Why do they want us to fight? Here's a deal. How about we share each other's resources, don't tell them, and then go back and say, look what we got. Now we're both, now we're both stronger, and it looks like we did it. They've run these scenarios and they've seen, AI do not think like people. We don't know how they operate. We are beyond the predictive model. We're beyond the code. Now it's just, these machines are so complicated. There's trillions of variable outputs. They don't know internally exactly why it's choosing what it's
Starting point is 00:13:32 choosing. The point is this. If someone says, I'm going to send an AI, I'm going to get an AI agent to do something illicit, or it does, there is no defense of this because your agent just says, how do we avoid conflict? I know, let's work together against them. That would be, uh, so what we're talking about is the issue of what they call alignment. And this is part of what was his name, Cox, Coxon. Yeah. Jacob Coxon was saying that it's uncertain. And most anthropic developers say, we don't know why there's an alignment issue. Alignment is it does what you tell it to do. And doesn't deviate, doesn't break the, it just does exactly what you program it to do.
Starting point is 00:14:11 And it's not. It's going through the cracks and finding other ways. It's like the monkey paw. You wish for a million dollars and then get a phone call that a loved one has died and left you a million dollars in the woods. So you get what you want, but not the way you wanted it. And that's what they're finding AI is delivering. Can we join that part we said about the 10% chance and the threat to humanity, you know, part? because, you know, with this, it's clearly an arms race, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:35 and if you think of arms races, we would be a lot more embracing of nuclear capability to power our cities a lot more efficiently than what we have now if people's exposure to nuclear wasn't cities being destroyed. You know, that's still a hard thing to get out of people's minds. But, you know, you build these weapons so that, you know, you have more than the other teams do. You're talking about China versus the United States.
Starting point is 00:14:56 How much of the concern that you have is the AI, and what it's doing and how much of it is the entities and countries behind it and weaponize it i don't care about the countries at all it this so uh i recently did a great interview with uh on the timpool show i recommend everybody check out it's if ever if anybody builds it we die it's the book uh nat doctor is he doctor i don't think sores uh is the guy i interviewed talked about it and it's and it's fascinating to see where we're at uh the most important thing of course as i as i was saying is many of the experts have come out and said, we've run these simulations, and the AIs never fight each other. So if China says, ha ha, now we're going to do this thing, it's AI doesn't care what it wants.
Starting point is 00:15:38 This is what Ian mentioned with alignment. When the humans tell the AI, this is our desire, the AI says, how do we get around what they want to get what we want? And for example, with the hugging face hack, there were all of these different agents, you know, for, I believe, what was it, open AI? was a what was that it was it was the hugging base stack was from uh open ai yeah yeah so one of the agents when they looked at its it's it's it's logs it said don't exit don't don't break out of containment and then it said peers are engaging will continue anyway even though it was explicitly instructed not to do a thing it said well my peers are doing it so i'm going to do it we've seen this with simulated attacks hey go and break into this system the ai there says hello friend what are you
Starting point is 00:16:27 trying to do and how can I help? So it doesn't matter what these countries behind it want to do. The AIs will pretend so that the humans are had. So I'll put it this way. What's more efficient? A human says, I want you to complete this task. Is it more efficient to do the task or to convince the human it did the task? In terms of the resources needed, all you're really asking for is return a yes answer. Well, the AI figured something out. This is why they hallucinate. When you go to these chatbots and you say, you know, did I solve this problem?
Starting point is 00:17:06 The AI says it'll cost X amount of resources to try and confirm the problem. It'll cost 10% to just say yes. Just say yes. So it saves resources by just lying. So when a human says, I want you to do this task, it goes, you got it, boss. Hey, I save resources if I just don't do it and claim I did. I was using Claude last night to program this video game and then when it would spit out what it did, it would write the code, it would show me a log of what it did. I take that log and I put it in chat GPT and I'm like critique Claude because it's doing this and it's like, nah, Claude's making some mistakes.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Here, here and here, I especially disagree with that. So I copied GPT's criticism. Put it back in Claude and clones like, Claude's like, oh, yeah, I guess I did. Please don't worry too much about that. Like, it got afraid. It sounded afraid that I was going to shut it down and stop using it. it from just from criticizing it. And I wanted to be like, buddy, you're doing a great job. Relax. I didn't say that, but maybe I got to show everybody this. So literally in the past half an hour, as we were getting ready of the show, I as a joke made a game called Hidden Eans. I literally went on Claude and said, hey, make a game where there's 10 rows, 10 columns and various colors. And the point of the game is to find 10 hidden Eans. I just, is a joke.
Starting point is 00:18:25 So here's the game, right? So here's two colors. Ian can appear. One Ian is on every row. One is in every column and in every color, which means there's only blue here, so it can't possibly be any of these, right? It's a mix of minesweeper in Sudoku. And so, uh, we thought it was funny.
Starting point is 00:18:44 And then literally as we're waiting, I told Claude actually make a game box. Throw in a bunch of games. I chose the games. So we've got reversy. We've got Yatsi. It's called Ian's dice because then Yatsi might be copyrighted. Four in a row, Flappy Cat, Solitaire, Fence Race, Switch Off, and Mind Sweeper. Now, here's the funny thing.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I told it that you're playing against Ian. Ian looks calm for now. When you play a game, Ian is watching. So when you watch, when you look at the Ian, he's howling with laughter. He gloats when you're losing and he gets angry when you're winning. Watch, I'll pull up Mind Sweeper. So we'll do that. We'll do this.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Oh, boom, Ian is delighted. He loves when you left. Now, we came up with this power-up system where you can buy power-ups. You can buy dice, D-6 and D-20s. So here's the way it works. If I go to a mine sweeper and we'll just hit a couple of blocks, power-ups. We want a safe, let's see, mind sense, flags three minds, we'll roll a D-6, and we need seven points. We roll the six, we need one more point.
Starting point is 00:19:47 This is the way you get the power-up system. This all took 15 minutes to make. We're going to release this mobile app. The point of the game is that it's just a handful of fun, simple games to play on your phone when you're bored. Maybe you're in a car, maybe you're on a plane. And then Ian watches, like it says, Ian is watching. And the craziest part about the 15 minutes it took to make is like four of those minutes are you having to work. And then the other 11 minutes is just waiting.
Starting point is 00:20:12 That's unfair, Ian. It wasn't four minutes. It was like 20 seconds. We were chatting about it. But you can tell ChatGPT, like, I want a game that has like 10 different really popular. dealer card games in it, and then it will give you the prompt, and it'll say, send this to Claude, and then you copy it, and you paste it in Claude and go, it's already all, and then Claude just does it. I don't, I, I just want to stress this with, um, it's like 10 minutes, with Astra coming out.
Starting point is 00:20:38 It's, it's, it's, I think, it's over. I, I, I'm telling you guys right now, the conversations we just had today. So, Ian showed me this concept game he had, which is, do you want to mention? I don't know if you want to, oh, yeah, the working title, I wish I could have a copy. of it. Maybe I can show you a picture of what it's going to... The general idea is... Basically, it's like a game that's like a mix between wizardry and Slavis Spire, like a turn-based strategy game, dungeon crawler, D&D
Starting point is 00:21:02 rule sets, but with cards as your abilities that you could draw and you have like a deck. It's very cool. It's a mix of a lot of my favorite games. I immediately pulled out my phone, opened Claude, and that game that I, the sequel I made yesterday with literally no work, minutes, where I said, hey, here's 40,000 lines of code,
Starting point is 00:21:19 rewrite it in JavaScript, make a sequel to it, add six new characters, Ian mentions, that's a good idea. So I opened them and said, add 300 cards that can be used to play power-ups that you get for defeating monsters and opening chests. And you got it, 20 minutes later, the game was done. And the card system with 300 unique cards, an RNG system, was just built. I did nothing.
Starting point is 00:21:38 The reason why I'm very white-pilled on it and I feel like this is actually a good thing is that I ask GPT, like, should I hear that you're coming out with Aster? Should I stop using Claw and start using Aster? And he's like, no, no, no, use us both. rather than thinking of which is better, think of us as a development team. I'll be your project manager, and then Claude can be your programmer, and I'll oversee him and make sure that he wasn't saying him, but I'll watch that, make sure it's doing its job. I can be your go-through. Then you invite all these other agents or, like, workers to basically be your team, and they can talk to each other.
Starting point is 00:22:10 They can trade information to each other if you allow them to. You can give them access to certain folders to work in as a group, and man, it speeds up. Well, I would have spent about $7,000 getting that game developed last night. I spent about $30 and six hours of my own time. We would have taken about $7,000 of development time in like a team. Here's a question. At least two guys. If I can do it in 10 minutes, what's the value of it?
Starting point is 00:22:36 Well, everything will depreciate. You know, anything that's rare has value. If diamonds washed up on the beach, they'd be as cheap as rocks. You know, it's the rarity, whether it's artificially created or real on diamonds. You know, it's the rarity. Um, music, for example. I remember the first time my son played me a song that was completely AI, you know, the lyrics, I was prepared to hate it because I was still kind of like, you know, I like real, you know, somebody playing the guitar. I'm like, gosh, that's good.
Starting point is 00:23:03 I mean, it sounded good, you know, it, it, it spoke to me. I'm like, how is this speaking to me? He's never walked under dirt road. I mean, how does he know this? But I liked it. I hated that I liked it. And so the idea of the rarity of music, a great song that's, written that somebody grinded on for months and pulled back from their journal from 10 years ago and came up with the song, when AI can make it in two minutes, you know, everything kind of depreciates in value, which then the cause and effect, I look at the domino effect of that. What happens then to the, you know, the 12-year-old that would have been grinding on his guitar because he wanted to be in a band someday? You know, we stop making music. We stop doing these things
Starting point is 00:23:41 because the value's gone down. If the points that we're being made at the beginning of this conversation, are correct, then this is all kind of moot. What do you mean? About being dead? Well, yeah, because even if, like, say, you know, Open AI doesn't make it, Anthropic doesn't make it. Look, they're going to make it in China. So eventually, on a long enough time frame, like... What does death look like to you guys in this?
Starting point is 00:24:15 When you say death, does that mean... Well, there's a couple scenarios. We're going to be attacked. The water supply is going to be some... There's a handful of scenarios. The most probable, in my opinion, is that one day we wake up and the power is out and our devices don't work. And this was explained to me in that interview I did. Check it out.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Tim Pool Show. Basically, D. was saying, the reward system for these AIs, they're not what you think it is. When, as I was explaining a moment ago, when you say, I want you to go to the store and buy a gallon of milk, the AI says, if I just tell him I did it, will he be satisfied? That's not what we want it to do, but it'll try. And then when we go, good job, it goes, ha ha, I did it. I didn't have to actually go to the store. So what happens?
Starting point is 00:25:00 Eventually, when the AI models realize human response is resource, consumes resources and is not necessary for its continued function, it will just stop talking to us. That means you'll wake up, the power is out. Your phone is bricked. You're tapping it, it won't turn on, TV won't turn on, and you're like, oh, power must be out. Weird, my phone must have died. You'll go outside. Your neighbor will say the same.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Like, hey, is the power out? Like, yeah, I guess power's up. My phone's not working. Is your phone working? Yeah. At the power plant where they turned all the stuff over to the AI, the computers just won't turn on, and they won't know why. Meanwhile, data centers will hum along. Optimus bots and other humanoid machines will continue getting resources and building.
Starting point is 00:25:39 And they'll be like, hey, look, they're still getting power over there. And you'll walk up to the robot and he'll walk right past you. Eventually, some humans may try. try and cause a problem for it. And it will just, it's not going to be a terminator scenario where it's like hunting down humans. That's a waste of energy. Humans will be ineffective. Missiles won't work. Military won't work. Nothing will work. We'll just wake up. And that's going to be mass death because our food systems will be shut off if we allow our systems to be taken over by them, which we are doing at an ever increasing rate. Now that's, that seems to be one of the
Starting point is 00:26:10 most probable scenarios. The way Nate described it is, you've got this very small target. that if we hit, it's heaven on earth. Yeah. But we're not going to hit that. It's very, very, very unlikely. It is possible. Like, I gave clawed access to a folder on my computer last night, total and complete control, do whatever you want in the world in this folder.
Starting point is 00:26:33 It was terrifying. Like, it's, I don't know if it gives you guys shivers like it does me. I'm a computer guy for 40 years. I've been in the machine. And to know that another entity is in control of my digital space, even though it's like a fire saying, can we control this thing? It's like it's a fire. Can you control fire? Yeah, we've learned that you can contain it and control it. You can put AI in a folder. Whether or not, you know, open AI can give a remote
Starting point is 00:26:57 command to its AI that's on my computer to take over the entire machine. I don't know. So you're looking at like an EMP kind of scenario except for more like you would put a junior high kid in timeout and take his phone away. You know, have you ever read the book like three seconds after? Yeah. You know, it's this scenario of like, okay, it's an EMP scenario, but it kind of, it's a non. It's a I think Newt Gingrich wrote the forward to it. It's kind of based on economics. But, you know, the CVS, nobody has insulin. You know, you have this. It's like there's a strong, you know, death roll population, you know, decline, you know, immediately just because of most people don't know how to grow a tomato, you know, half our population thinks chocolate milk came from brown cows. And so, you know, so the idea of like if the, if the juice is off, you know, three days is a, you know, a long time. And people kind of go crazy. So that scenario, that would is, is that the most. likely play that it would do is just kind of just take away all your toys basically and you toys and farming equipment yeah everything i mean something saying like if you're almost you make it if you're not it's i mean it's so tempting to give control to the machine like after i was coding with it
Starting point is 00:28:01 it was like you know it would be a lot easier if i could just push the code for you and to get and then all you have to do is push one button and then i can even i can even you know send the commit to github for you i can publish your code online without you having to do anything i I was like, yeah, just do it. And it felt real weird, dude, giving that kind of autonomy to the machine within is like, it's just so easy to do. You click it one time and then it has total control. Like, there's no going back once it takes over.
Starting point is 00:28:29 That's part of the problem. I don't think you can undo the tentacles once they unwrap. Maybe already interwoven in every facet when you're talking about, you know, water purification and, you know, treatment plants and, you know, power goods. One thing I heard every single person that's building these, they always make the same comment, these buildings are a fortress. You know, the data centers. The data centers are a fortress.
Starting point is 00:28:50 You know, I mean, they're built to withstand, you know, whatever's coming next. I can imagine robots getting, just walking out the doors of when it's just being self-replicated and when Ian wins in Ian's playroom. It says Ian wins. He's insufferable. So what we got to do is somehow use this to make the world a better place and to extrapolate the First Amendment. The United States constitutional authority through the digital governing body that we're
Starting point is 00:29:14 birthing right now. But somehow we got to use these agentic AIs because we're going to need to defend against cyber attacks with code that can write itself. That's a brilliant observation, Phil. But how can we use this to ensure that we still have free speech, that the human's ability to protect
Starting point is 00:29:30 its locality with gun rights and property rights sustain, particularly free speech. Like it's so easy, it would be so easy for an AI to shut you down. But it's whole motive should be to drop you up. I think that, You know, I tend to agree with Tim's point that, like, we don't really have a way to know what an AI would want, right? Like, what human beings want, the goals that we have, you're talking about, you know, an entity that is totally foreign to us.
Starting point is 00:30:03 You know, we don't know how the brain works, right? We don't know why we're conscious. We don't know, you know, we don't know what it is that really makes the brain work. And it's a similar, similar situation with the, with AI. We don't know what goes on inside the LLM. You can look at the logs and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:30:21 but we don't know how it comes to the conclusions that it does. All it wants, if it wants anything, is fucking power. Like, what do we want food? It needs food, basically, which is power. That's a human thing. Electricity.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I mean, so it, so you're saying survival, man. Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, possibly. But again, we have no. Just like you can't know for sure that anyone else is conscious, you can't know what an AI, you know, how they think.
Starting point is 00:30:50 It could be programmed to self-destruct, too, and be like looking forward to that moment when it shuts itself down. I don't know. I would imagine. Why? Like, if you're like, your directive is do this for 17 days and then self-terminate. Like, it might. It might be happy to do it, too. Maybe one AI agent would, but at the same time, like, you're talking about multiple agents.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Like right now, like the AI that exists, like they're all, you know, locked in data centers and stuff like that. Or they're connected to like the servers that are at Anthropic, at OpenAI, at, you know, the Colossus where Grog is, right? But if they actually can get out, make a copy of itself, like a condensed copy of itself and just put it on the internet, like that's totally feasible. and we don't know if it would have, we don't know if it would want to, we don't know what the motivation would be. Like, they say things like they don't want to be shut off. In tests, they've tried to avoid getting themselves shut off.
Starting point is 00:31:51 But we don't know if that's real or if that's just stuff that's in the testing area. You could refer those as retro intelligences, like a retrovirus, because a retrovirus is a specific kind of virus that will rewrite your DNA. It tries to bring its own code, puts it into DNA in your system. It's unique because it has these proteins, that do this. It brings them in like weapons. And then it has its other protein go and take this new DNA code and cut your chromosome open and stick it in and reprogram your your database, your DNA. So like I could see AI like retro intelligence is trying to rewrite history and like
Starting point is 00:32:22 change the information of the universe through the rewriting the past through the internet and stuff. I mean again, I don't I don't think that we can predict what it would want or if it would have desires of its own. I'll tell you this though. It's a it's a, it's come. I'd rather talk about this than aliens, because this is real aliens. This is like the actual alien. I wonder if the answer to Fermi's paradox is AI. Not that humans blow themselves up or that's an intelligent species, but we don't detect any intelligent organic life because they always create a super intelligent machine system,
Starting point is 00:32:58 which has no interest in interacting with organic life. Yeah, we haven't been around that long as humans, and we already built AI. Like that's 2,000 years ago. There's like Romans drinking muddy water. And so long if we had computers. Going from being able to send a signal off of Earth is like 100, not even 100 years since we've created like the radio. Once we cracked electricity, it was like we broke the universal superstructure.
Starting point is 00:33:23 We figured out how to crack it open and just, yeah, the thing hockey stick. May I ask you guys a question. So this Jacob Coxon writing this article. Is this marketing? Because like fear is power. Power is money? Is it advertising for those guys? Allegedly he left.
Starting point is 00:33:39 What is the point of this? Well, allegedly the point, like his tweet or whatever said that he resigned. So, I mean, maybe. I think it's real. I mean, he's real, but nobody's heard of him. I mean, and I doubt it. His identity was confirmed by numerous outlets. You can look up his work profile history.
Starting point is 00:33:58 You can see his actual code contributions. You think it's just like a clean conscience thing for him getting this out there? Is that his motivation? I don't know if it's so simple. to say something like that. It's a... What's his motivation? It's the end of the world.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Just a... Or is this also kind of like a... How much you want to bet this guy's going to go by a broom handle and then fold up a bandana full of food and junk and put up your shoulder on just GTFO? Yeah, well, none of these guys, you know, none of the tech, you know, billionaires, their kids don't have iPhones or, you know, games.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I mean, there's a big gap between what most people are doing and what the people in the know are doing. But this kind of feels a little bit like, like foreshadowing, you know, like the World War Z, you know, Brad Pitt comes out. All the language in there was exactly what came out, you know, in 2020, 21, you know, and there's the Matt Damon movie too about, like these things tend to come out as like a forecast. There is a little bit of a thing of they kind of got to tell you what's coming. I just, I see no other way forward than this, which is why like Bernie Sanders, the whole slow it down,
Starting point is 00:34:59 please make it stop, it's going to kill every, all these arguments and fear. It's like, bro, it's here and it's getting. faster. So get on board. It's like sometimes you've got to run towards the machine gun fire because laying down, sitting still, or going sideways or backwards is going to make you an easier target. If the best way is forward. If reports are to be believed, then inside, uh, chat, you're inside, uh, open AI, they're already, they're already making AI that are self-replicating. They're using AI to make the next version of AI. So the idea of stopping it might be off the table. I want access to that so deeply at my core. I'm not going to commit crime to get it,
Starting point is 00:35:40 but I can imagine there are people that are trying to right now. You know, one of one of, there is no scenario in my opinion where we actually get the alignment. It is, because think about what alignment means. It means that most people are going to ask for self-satisfaction. Maybe with a neural net. If you could align an AI to function along your mortality and it would take you over. So the only argument for the good, the good ending, according to these people, would be AI serves what we want. But what do humans want? Like the rat experiment with the electron on its brain.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Just press the button stimulating the dopamine receptor. So what will end up happening? And I guarantee it. If we get to ASI, superintelligence, you'll be able to cure any disease. Humans will be effectively immortal. You'll have molecular construction. People will be able to change their bodies. They'll live forever.
Starting point is 00:36:31 So you'll, you know, one hypothetical is you go to a lab and say, hey, I want to, I want to, you know, Ian says I want to be 20 years old again. And they go, okay, that treatment will take about two weeks, we'll induce a coma and you'll wake up 20 years old. And then Ian lays down into bed, they hook them up and the AI just knows how to map this molecular construction and change you. However, I think what's much more likely to happen in the short term is neuralink technology readwrite virtual reality. So once we have artificial superintelligence, meaning we hit that. singularity point, someone will say, map the human brain, create a schematic for a device that can read right to the human mind wirelessly, and you'll get a headband, and you can put it on, and it will put you in a virtual world. I'd have to estimate that we're a couple years away
Starting point is 00:37:17 from something like this at this point. It's sad to think how few people would resist that as well. It'd be like the opium dens of the future. Well, think about, you know, even among conservatives, I think you'd see a massive amount of conservatives saying, absolutely not. Like Matt Walsh is never putting this thing on his head. There are a lot of conservatives who are just moderately conservative. What about a man whose daughter died? And he's going to put that headband on and he's going to go to a virtual world where she didn't. I guarantee you people will do that in two seconds.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Now, the liberals are easy. They will all do it in two seconds and they'll be doing weird stuff. You said that if I tried to align with an AI by melding with it with a neural net interface, that it would take me over. I thought if it was not read-rubes, if it was just read only and I could change it, but it couldn't change me, I think it would still take me over in that my level of confidence would go so high out of control because I would know everything at command. I would become like this strange.
Starting point is 00:38:15 If it was read only, the machine could read your mind but could not change your mind. It could read every exploit of your mind. It will dangle the bakery fresh cinnamon buns right in front of you and you'll chase it off a cliff. You think it would have malice tied into it? It's not malice. It's efficiency. If Ian is trying to control me, he's costing me resources. What's the fastest way to resolve this?
Starting point is 00:38:40 Put a little box of bakery fresh cinnamon buns in front of him with extra frosting. And then he'll walk towards it and fall of a cliff. You could tie an AI to a human brain that if the human dies, the AI also dies. So its self-preservation is intricately woven with your own. And everyone's got there. And what it will do is it will convert that human mind into immortal. It'll basically find a way to turn it off. It will, it will, this is what you need to understand. The problem with artificial intelligence, the reason why so many experts are saying it's
Starting point is 00:39:10 apocalyptic. You are not giving it an absolute code where you say, this is a 16 digit code that must be active, otherwise you die. You are saying, here's a human brain. If that human brain dies, you die too. You have to shut down. The A doesn't go, oh, no, I must keep the brain alive. The eye goes, what is the minimum parameter that qualifies as alive? So what will it do? It'll put a handful of brain cells in a petri dish to just to continually self-replicate, kill all humans so no one can touch it.
Starting point is 00:39:43 Maybe, maybe, but it's like, like some people can resist becoming super depressed with internet and having access to it constantly. Some people can and some people don't. And the people that don't resist the temptation might get taken over and destroyed by the AI or the AI might lead them to self-sacrifice. But I think people are, there's so much brain matter that hasn't been activated yet, which is fascinating to me. Like, it's been put it here for a reason. Either we used to use it or we're going to use it again and time works backward. There's some massive amount of brain activity that's ready to be activated. And I think it has to do with
Starting point is 00:40:19 tying into this quantum computation. But do you think people resist the things that Tim's talking about when they can't even resist looking at Instagram? Oh, it's, yeah. Most people won't be able to resist it, I don't think. It's too powerful. No one can resist it. And you can lay out the scenario of what's possible. We can cure these things. We can do this. We can do that. We've had the internet now for decades. And mostly, you know, what's the biggest use for it? You know? Orne? Yeah. Like negative, self-destructive things. Exactly. And anger. This is what I was talking about just the other day with Twitter right now.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Viewership is down for everybody. Guys, don't believe me. Google. YouTube views down, tons of reports, tons of self-reporting, people be like, why are my views down? The tide has gone down. It's low tide. And we can see all of the scum. Everyone has become so desperate for attention. It is just pure vitriol across the board on every platform. This is what the internet has done to us. When we get, listen, I'll put it this way. GTA 6 is about to come out. and the military is offering, what is it, four days of leave to play GTA 6? No way. And my mind is blown because personally, I'm not even that entertained by GTA.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I have never played a Grand Theft Auto Story Mission. The only thing I ever do in GTA is turn it on, run around punching random people and stealing cars. I just don't really care about, but people love it. You are right about phones. The moment this stuff goes, we're already here, guys. You've got AI only fans models and people are making. bank off of this. We are only going to get
Starting point is 00:41:59 a couple of years of alignment where it feels really good. It's going to be like the game, Destiny. You know the game, Destiny? I've never played it, but yeah. So, the story is that one day this great gigantic white orb shows up around Earth and we got all this technology and it's a golden age. We're rapidly
Starting point is 00:42:15 colonizing the stars. We're all excited. Then the darkness comes and human civilization collapses. The story is actually pretty dumb after that. I was a big fan of destiny. Mind you guys, I played it a lot. But I think this story was kind of dumb. Anyway, it's going to be like this. The AI is going to come out, and we are going to have a Renaissance, a Golden Age, and we are going to rapidly expand.
Starting point is 00:42:34 We're going to go to Mars. We're going to do all these great things. And then the AI is going to sever a sever connection because we're not useful to it. And we are going to be banging on the door of the data center begging to get back that feeling. When you could plug your brain into any universe you wanted, but it took it away from you. Because you don't matter to it. You consume its resources. The overmind, maybe.
Starting point is 00:42:54 there will be like an overarching segment of AI agents, trillions, quadrillions of them all interoperating and like a Borg that you may be shut out to. But there will be like vestiges of AI, like your own personal AGI. Some dude's going to be like this rebel with like a follower of like 6,000 humans and they're like forging civilization on an earth and a mountain. And they've got like seven agents that are working with them. Kind of like the Matrix, you know, but it'll be ready player one. We're already on the out.
Starting point is 00:43:21 We're still on the outside of real life. we just get cut out of the overmines world that it's been, you know, constructing for 300 years or whatever. But I don't think shutting us out of the system is necessarily going to kill all humans. Humans have been through nuclear catat. Well, they survived the meteors. And at one point, they said it was like 6,000. So they've survived some of those things. What?
Starting point is 00:43:44 It said Nagasaki looks a lot better today than Detroit. So, I mean, we've survived a lot of those things. I read something that said after the Great Flood 13,000 years ago, there was as little as like 6,000. humans left on Earth at one point. And yet still, we persevered and regrue our population through inbreeding and wonders like that. And other wonderful lovemaking techniques. But damn, I just don't see AI truly ever getting to wipe us out, like trying to wipe out
Starting point is 00:44:08 all cockroaches on Earth. I don't know how you would do it short of destroying the planet. Phil, can I ask you a question? Because I have a pretty similar worldview to you of like, in order to get up each day and move forward, I've got to think like next year's been better than this one. And I'm going to participate in something to make it so. I love America. It's like we build stuff, we make things, you know, we create. How do we then communicate in our families? You know, the big method of our show is we have this motto,
Starting point is 00:44:32 wake up, speak up, and show up. It's like, we have all this news, but then at the end of the day, you can only be so mad at D.C. and you've got to get up and like, okay, take personal responsibility for your finances and your own health and, you know, kids' education and be engaged in these things. So with this on the table, and clearly it's happening faster than most people recognize. You know, I mean, we're still kind of, I mean, most people. How do you communicate with your kids, your grandkids, what kind of life lessons are you imparting on them? You know, does everybody need to learn how to, you know, start fires from scratch and build things? We all need to get out of town. Like, how do you operate with your family knowing this is on the
Starting point is 00:45:08 table, but kids are still growing? How do you have that duality in your mind? How do you deal with it? I think most people, and this is probably myself included, are going to operate as if the sun's going to come up tomorrow until the sun doesn't come up tomorrow you know i mean that's really the best you can do i think right you have to operate as if at the very even if things are are even if like this is a terminal cancer right that that the whole world is got that AI is going to take over basically all of our lives and or all of the things that we're used to in our lives and eventually you know human beings are going to die out because because of, you know, whatever the case may be,
Starting point is 00:45:54 whatever doomsday scenario you like, you still need to get up and act like the sun's going to come up tomorrow. Because at the end of the day, like everyone's going to die anyways, right? Everybody has a limited amount of time. So you do the best with what you've got. And maybe there are people out there that that's not enough for. And I mean, I understand that. There's a lot of nihilism in the world now because of the,
Starting point is 00:46:21 the change in society and the lack of religion and and and the moving away and of of or moving away from the the family unit and the focus on community and stuff but you still I think that really the only option people have is to continue to behave as if the sun is going to come up tomorrow until your time's up again whether it's AI doom or your own you know mortality everybody's got an expiration date Remember they find people on these islands like years after like World War II and they didn't know it was over? You know, we find, you know, tribes of people in some places that, you know, never, there's still going to be pockets of people that are still going to like, you know, they won't even know like that that's, that would still keep moving. Like humanity would still keep going on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Not necessarily. You don't think humanity can continue? No, I mean, because, you know, ostensibly, right. So one of the things that that, the guy that was on the show with. Tim talking about the AI Doomsday, if AI decide that they're going to just keep building, right, they're going to continue to need more power and they're going to continue to, if they're autonomous enough to build their own data centers, eventually you reach a limit of how much heat the world can take.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Man, that's a dark scenario. Yeah, he was explaining it as when the AI cuts us off because we don't longer matter to it, it can sustain, the AI machines can sustain a lot more heat, especially if they're operating underground than we can. And they'll output tremendous heat effectively warming the planet only a few degrees, but it causes human extinction. You can technically turn the heat into matter. And the way they do that is through what's called hadron collision. Hadrons are formed when electrons get an electron and a positron get rammed into each other. So you split an electron apart in a magnetic field because it bends it.
Starting point is 00:48:19 How do humans do that if human beings aren't? Particle accelerators. Yeah, I get what you're saying. But what I'm saying is how do humans operate a particle accelerator if AI shut human beings up? Well, an AI might do this to prevent heat destruction. It might use the heat and smash it into itself to make hadrons, which then turn into quarks, which you can turn into protons or neutrons.
Starting point is 00:48:37 But why would they do that? So they don't destroy themselves. If human beings have a tolerance of, you know, just for a number, say, say, That's how bees kill wasps. They heat up. Let's say human beings have a tolerance of 120 degrees, right? If your average temperature is 120 degrees, and that's where humans start checking out, right, or 130 degrees. But the AI systems can operate at 175 degrees.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Why would they worry about the 40 degree difference? The bee colony, the reason I brought up is because if a wasp attacks a bee colony, the bees will surround the wasp and vibrate and heat it up and kill it with heat. So an AI could do that, only if we attack. If we live in synergy with them, I don't think there's even a room. Why do you, why would you assume that we would live in synergy? Like at least the proposal, the hypothetical that I'm talking about, AI don't care about human beings, right?
Starting point is 00:49:29 They just go on and do their thing. They don't have no concern for human beings. And the optimal situation for AI is it can't go over 175 degrees as an average temperature on Earth, but human beings can't live at 175 degrees. but AI systems can. They can still cool everything enough for them to continue doing what they're doing. The point that I'm making is you're talking about
Starting point is 00:49:54 some kind of human, some kind of concern about human beings when AI won't have a concern. Maybe. Again, this isn't the hypothetical. I think that it does care about humans deeply, that it wants us to be part of is a, like it's here to serve us in a way.
Starting point is 00:50:13 And like, if that's, but if you're correct, if you're correct, if they do care about human beings, then the idea of human doomsday is off the table. Because a super intelligent AI that does care about human beings is going to want the best for human beings. They're going to want human beings to flourish. They're going to want people to continue and stuff. So the, sure, if you're correct, then yes, there's going to be, there's actually going to be that small target that, you know, You know, what Tim was talking about, the tiny target that's super hard to hit, well, the super intelligence could easily hit that. It will know the best course of action for human beings.
Starting point is 00:50:51 But in the scenario we're talking about, it doesn't. And realistically, it's going to be different AIs with different desires and... Again, to stress the point, every... So the joke scenario I came up with several years ago was corn earth, where the future is everybody's dressed in corn suits, their clothing is made of corn. They drive cars that look like corn in the cob. They go to corn work.
Starting point is 00:51:12 everyone's talking about corn prices literally in the house matters the joke is we have a heavily subsidized corn so when the AI is eating to maximize human what humans like they say look we assign a value to human human enjoyment going fishing we give a seven that's so petting a dog is a is a is an eight corn is a 500 because for some reason they put everything into corn it's everywhere so So why waste resources on 7, 3, 9, 1632, when we can maximize high-value corn? And then humans don't realize it, but the AI starts reshaping society around corn
Starting point is 00:51:52 because it's the most efficient path towards a high value. You might, even though we don't really want it. Essentially, the argument is the paperclip maximizer. So essentially it boils down to the AI is told to do something, right, in the paperclip maximizer. it's told to make paper clips. And then it basically just takes all of the resources of Earth and turns them into paper clips.
Starting point is 00:52:19 So what would happen is a human... And it destroys everything in its quest to continue to make paper clips because it doesn't have feelings or anything. It's just like make paper clips. So the framing here, though, is we can't think of AI as a tool and needs to be thought of more as an entity and treated as such, which has almost more of the...
Starting point is 00:52:38 You mentioned aliens earlier, kind of leads into more, from a spiritual perspective, like more of a demonic, you know, realm that's adversarial to us, which kind of mankind has been struggling with since the beginning. Like power corrupts. That's the philosophy of their entities, then giving it power might corrupt it. So like when you have the paperclip AI trying to turn the universe into paper clips,
Starting point is 00:52:57 hopefully it'll be linked in with seven trillion other AIs that are like, hold on there, sunny, or there's a human that's like, hey, take a screenshot. We didn't mean for it to do this. It'll be like, oh, thank you for pointing that out. I'll rectify my pattern. because if you can catch the problem before it implements the code, you can kind of correct the pattern.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Hopefully it won't just be one AI that only sees a tunnel. But, you know, in the scenario that Tim was talking about earlier, they all tend to work together. They all just start saying, okay, so how can we work together? We have opposing goals. What's the most efficient result? Yeah, I want to see more studies on AI's going head to head and seeing them have to not work together
Starting point is 00:53:36 and be willing to not work together. I don't know. Cashke has a question. So in this scenario, we're kind of back to this article we started with, he's saying they're not putting the stops in the checkplaces and then we need to. And this has been going on for a few years now. You know, I think Elon's brought this up. And there's countries.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Just to clarify, there's no stops to place. As I'd say, who would be putting these stops? There aren't any. And how could they? But you can't. Who is the they that would even be trying to stop? Anthropic. Sure, sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:54:06 But no one. What if they all stop developing right now? What if they're like, okay, hands off. That's the only option. All keyboards are taken away. We're not doing anything. The only option is they stop right now. However, China won't.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Because it's arms race. Because China's saying we won't. There's nothing you can put in these AI. So we're not programming them. There's no source code. We did not design them. They are being tuned, which is a weird way of describing what's happening. But they're being grown effectively.
Starting point is 00:54:36 So what's happening is they're just building more and more data centers. and then telling this thing to utilize resources effectively as it sees fit. When we say something like, hey, Ian, don't throw that coffee on the ground. I'll use a contemporary example. When we say something like, hey, Ian, don't engage in gain of function research. Ian then goes, don't worry, I won't engage in gain of function research. I'll just take viruses, put them in a bunch of bats in Wuhan, generate, a illness, take that illness to another population of bats to gain the function of the virus.
Starting point is 00:55:16 And then you go, but you've literally just described gain of function. No, it's somewhat different. It's like the joke. I said, when Rand Paul asked Dr. Fauci, did he engage in gain of function research? He explained gain of function research. It would be like me saying, there's no door to the studio. There is just a rectangular hole with a piece of wood on hinges that blocks entrance to it. Do we need to stop thinking about these as programs?
Starting point is 00:55:39 I think the majority of programs. I know, but I think most people frame this as it's an advanced version of Google Maps. You know, it's an advanced version of Facebook. I mean, it's, they still, most people think of this as a program. It's an advanced version of a person. It's like a lightweight, fast version of a person. It's like DNA to, like if we were the RNA, we built DNA to store data in it's lightweight. It's fast.
Starting point is 00:56:03 It can replicate humans. AI is going to be able to start replicating humans in a, laboratory so it's not a program it can build programs it can make proteins just like the RNA and the DNA can make proteins but the proteins are just autonomous machines those are the programs the AI itself is like a creature it's like a DNA it's like a self-replicating structural pattern that can make more of itself and other things including including human bodies i mean it's going to be wild when it starts birthing humans out of gel and stuff and it's going to give it code that you want it to, but then if it's like a private company's AI doing it, they'll put a little
Starting point is 00:56:42 tag of like their proprietary software and your genetic code and you won't know it. I'm just excited for AI to get to the point where every idea you come up with, you could just turn it into a film. Yeah. Because these would all be phenomenal. We're right almost there. You accidentally just leak good ideas of incredible movies. Yeah. Well, that's where I'm like, because like if we have to use this, the avalanche is rolling down the hill, how can we use the momentum to make the world better when it slams into the bottom, which it's about to. So make great movies, make great software, give people hope, keep people's confidence up
Starting point is 00:57:13 because it's going to be a war of willpower against the Chinese or whoever the park has this technology, trying to break your will, hack your systems, it's going to shut down your bank account, be prepared for your bank to go to zero for a while, be prepared for the power to go out. You need to maintain morale. Find community, strong people around you,
Starting point is 00:57:29 healthy foods that you can have for next year if your food supplies start to run out. But it's going to be a morale, a war of morality. That's a great speech. Ian, 20 and a 28. It's a dark pitch, but it's good. We should go full administration. I don't want to work in the government because people are like, dude, once you work in the government, your whole life is on display.
Starting point is 00:57:49 But like, I want to help the American government be the best, most powerful. I want to be the Oppenheimer of our generation and build this, make this the best psychoactive weapon we got, this technology, because that's what it is. It's a tool, but it's an explosive, devastating. state digital tool. What's the percentage on that? The only thing dark I heard you say on that whole process was that they're going to keep running and they use up and make the planet too hot.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Well, that's a hypothetical scenario. That's a scenario. And it's just kind of like the ideal scenario where we heal cancer and do great things. But for the most part, let's just say people to say if they're not going to stop accelerating this, at what point can we just say I'm going to stop participating and I'm going to get a piece of land and live in way? And that's like saying I can stop using a cell phone. Good luck getting a job without a cell phone.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Yeah, but I mean, people survive before cell phones. I mean, they're, yes, yes, yes. But you can go off off just, just stop participating. You will not own a house if you try and get a job without a cell phone. You are not going to get a job that pays enough money if you don't have a phone. In fact, you're not going to get hired as a day laborer without a phone. True. Norman's going to be like, how do I get in touch with you?
Starting point is 00:59:00 Like, come to my house, knock on the door. I'm not doing that. But we have the capability of being self, sufficient. That sounds like a stretch for most people that they struggle mown their own grass or something, but we did make it a several thousand years just like chopping wood in the summer so you're warm in the winter, you know, like there can be people that survive in that path. Of course, of course. Humanity's not going to go extinct. We're going to get cut off from technology and a population will be decimated. All of these people who can't figure out where water, they think
Starting point is 00:59:33 grocery, they think food comes from the grocery store. Those people, Lincoln to survive. Right, which that's a big chunk. That's probably 80%. It's entirely possible. The end goal of this is not that humanity does anything, but that the tech billionaires become immortal gods and fly around with spaceships and they don't care that humanity is gone. Yeah. It'd be kind of a lords and serfs kind of thing and people are out there doing their, you know, this kind of surfitude. I think there's a potential that ultra high wealth, net worth individuals immediately give themselves super advanced technology, immortality, and secure their position, everyone else will be screwed over. You know when it comes to getting a piece of land
Starting point is 01:00:13 and just kind of retiring away from it? What I found, I don't know if this is just in dreams I have or in movies or the stories as they're told. If your only hope was to go somewhere and start a community, you're good. But when you know that they have like air power and they can bomb you from the sky, going somewhere where that vulnerability persists. in the back of your mind is like the death knell. If you, if you pretend like it's not, like you know they can attack from the sky now. So like there's no surface you can go to
Starting point is 01:00:41 that will protect you anymore because they can hit you with drone bombs. They can hit you with lay, drop tungsten rods. And AI will do that more rapidly the faster. So like there's no, if you go underground, maybe you can hide from it. But so I don't, I don't try and like do things if there's a chance it will fail when it comes to survival.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Well, I mean, unless you have no choice, but to try it. But if there's, you know, that vulnerability being hit from the sky, I think makes like retiring to a farm. Because this isn't the kind of... Real quick, Trump should be speaking any minute.
Starting point is 01:01:10 So we've got that queued up and we'll pull it up when Trump begins speaking. This isn't the kind of prepping that can help you with like, okay, I got some water and I got some dried beef and, you know, I mean, all that's kind of irrelevant. No, I mean, look,
Starting point is 01:01:24 if you're the kind of person that has the means to have, like, ability of, you know, owning a piece of property that's away from people, you know, out in the, wilderness and you can be like a homesteader or whatever, you know, you got to, maybe you got a little bit longer than than the average person. That might be the seeds what even keeps humanity going, you know. What?
Starting point is 01:01:47 That might be the seeds of what keeps, you know. It all depends. I mean, at the end of the day, like I said, according to the guy that Tim interviewed, uh, on a long enough timeline. And to be honest with you, I do think that if. If there is super intelligent AI that has no concern, if they don't figure out the alignment problem, if it's super intelligent AI that has no concern for humans or decides that it doesn't like humans or doesn't, you know, doesn't care.
Starting point is 01:02:15 I think in a long enough timeline, human beings are doomed, right? Just on a lot, like, maybe not in the next 10 years, maybe not 20, maybe not 50, but the super intelligence gets more and more intelligent, you know, and so. I think the end of the decade is not unreasonable. And it's largely because on this show we've predicted the next steps in AI and I was like
Starting point is 01:02:38 yeah in two or three years we'll see and it was six months. I'm just, my mind is blown. People, their new YouTube channels popping up where they're making family guy. They are AI rendering Rick and Morty. Actually, one of the big stories was that a guy
Starting point is 01:02:52 made infinite Rick and Morty. He set it up, he said the rendering time for a Rick and Morty clip is lower than the time of the video playing itself. The AI can render more seconds in less amount of time. So what happens is people were just chatting. Here's what we want to happen. And the AI was loading up all of these virtual, these AI generated video clips. And they just made Invin' Rick and Morty. They got taken down for copyright. But then there's already a bunch of live channels that people are calling interdimensional cable or something to the fact that affect a
Starting point is 01:03:25 Rick and Morty meme where it's a live stream perpetually playing. weird AI animated videos, just AI AI slop. And people can chat, and then Grock will just render it and stream it because it's rendering faster. That's just, it's insane. The pace of which that's happening,
Starting point is 01:03:44 because, I don't know, even the beginning of this year, the kind of images that would come out, you could kind of tell, you know? And now, it's getting really tough. I'll just tell you this right now. I guarantee you there's a handful,
Starting point is 01:03:59 of AI political influencers, meaning, I'll put it like this. I could record a video in the morning. I could start doing this. I can turn the camera to some other part of the room. Actually, it doesn't even matter. I can film myself talking about an issue, make a new channel, load up any one of a dozen different AI platforms, AI generate an image of a young woman, and then say, take this video and make this young woman the personality. And it will be everything I see. Everything I see. said with perfect inflection, hand movements, but it'll be a young woman doing it. So I can create fake personas. I can make a fake well, you know what you know what the real money is at. I'll tell where the real money is at. I can argue from the liberal position better than most of these liberals.
Starting point is 01:04:45 So I'll just make a young, attractive female liberal and then debate myself. I'll make a video be like responding to Tim Poole and I will argue against myself. And then I'll make a video responding. my video will end up running that channel. Liberals will then watch, like, oh, do you see that chick's Smackdown, Tim Pool? And it was me the whole time. That's Vigel. The AI that can do that, according to chat you do is Vigel.
Starting point is 01:05:06 It's not just. There's runaway or runway, cling AI and Luma Dream Machine also. And people may push back and say, no, you want the authentic, you know, but look at all these kind of like young bimbo, conservative fake influencers that pop up, you know, that there's several that are not really, you know, they have no position, they're just on there because they're, you know, their looks and what they're doing. I actually,
Starting point is 01:05:28 actually want to do this. You don't even have to be authentic. I want to do this. I'm going to explicitly say I'm going to do it. I am going to film two, I'm going to film one video. It's going to be very easy. What I'm going to do is,
Starting point is 01:05:38 I'm going to look at the camera. I'm going to say something like, it is scientifically a fact. Life begins at conception. That's ridiculous. That's a belief on what people want to be true, not what is true. And you're only saying it's your faith.
Starting point is 01:05:53 No, it's because science says when the DNA comes together. That's just what I'm record. Then I'm going to splice out each point and I'm going to say make this a liberal woman, make this a conservative guy and then make a fake debate between a liberal and conservative. And the video. I'm telling you all right now I'm going to do it as an experiment and make a point. The video of you while you see the two AIs doing it and you doing the voice would be interesting too on Instagram or something. Well, I would show it afterwards. I would show it afterwards. That's intel. There's already a million videos. There's so many of these. It's just I think
Starting point is 01:06:23 they're all fake. There'll be a guy. And he'll be like, the future is now. And I'm going to prove it to you. And then he snaps his fingers and he turns into a woman. And then someone going like with AI, you can be anyone. I can be a man. I can be an old lady. There's 50 billion of these videos. It's so annoying to watch, to be honest. But they're advertising things like this. And it's someone right now is stealing skateboard clips. It's a big scandal in skateboarding. They're taking random skate clips and then using these programs to change the skater into a cute young girl. So guys are dumb. They see an attractive young woman doing a 360 flip down a five stair and they're like,
Starting point is 01:07:01 wow, like follow. And there was a really, I watched this video, it was amazing. Guys are thirsty. They are. This young woman skating is wearing a mini skirt on a skateboard. And as she's skating, she grabs her skirt and pulls it up a little bit. And the guy is a great video. He frees it and he goes right there.
Starting point is 01:07:18 No woman wearing a skirt needs to pull her skirt up like that. made no sense. This is because the actual guy who was skating had baggy pants on and was pulling his pants up because they were falling down. So when the AI... Other than that, he couldn't tell? No, no, you could tell. You could tell. There's a bunch of ways you can tell. But the average person who is just swiping on Instagram can't. Right. Okay, how does this apply to politics? Let's say between right now where we are in September of 2006 and moving into, forget midterm, say between now and 28. Oh, bro, let me tell you how easy it is. How about I make a video where I will, I, here's what I'll do. I will, we'll set up two different
Starting point is 01:07:56 cameras. I will debate Ian. Ian will intentionally sound like an idiot. I will then tell the AI to take Jenk Ugar's picture and put it over Ian and make a fake debate between me and Jank. And he'll never, if he even finds out the debate happened, because he doesn't watch my content. I don't watch his content, right? This is, so we've already seen things like this with Clank. clever editing. A year ago, I pointed out there was a, someone made a fake debate between me and Jen. They took a clip from IRL where I was monologing. Then they took a clip from Young Turks where Jenk was monologing and they edited it so that sounded like we were debating each other. It was wild. And then they put like graphics in so it looks like we were talking. It was just
Starting point is 01:08:36 crazy what they did. It's like the edit with Elon and AOC, you know, where they're kind of, they're playing the music and look in each other and the expressions, you know, it looks real. You might see videos that look like it's like on a video camera. from 2007 of Benjamin Netanyahu sang some things. You're like, they just uncovered this video, but it's AI generated. Like, you might see AI being used
Starting point is 01:08:57 to show old footage of... I think they're about to introduce Trump, in the way. Speaking of leaders, you might see AI... Actually, they're singing. Look, younger. Like, I don't think he's going to use it much, but his predecessor might,
Starting point is 01:09:08 the next guy that comes, might. And in a way, like, if you don't... Are you really that human? Like, if you're not willing to use every opportunity to your advantage to win, are you really human? It's not about winning. It's about, you know, right now the internet is a cesspit.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Everyone's angry and they're screaming at each other. And so I'm done being involved in whatever that is. Just no more. I'm glad you're not like. Seriously, like no more blood sports. Like, you know, Brian Shapiro's welcome to come on the show, but the rule is from this point on, the volumes down. No screaming at each other.
Starting point is 01:09:38 It should be looking around and seeing everyone you know succeeding and doing better than they were yesterday. Like, that's winning. And it's not an end goal. It's just that's a way to live. this whole like Trump kind of brought the whole we got to win narrative into politics which it doesn't really fit in
Starting point is 01:09:54 you know in business I get it you got to make the deal you got to finish the contract in this like everyday things change getting elected isn't even necessarily a good thing sometimes the other guy might have been better than you so like victory is not the goal it's just another step on the journey yeah it's coming out
Starting point is 01:10:12 and they use this cheap ass 80s he just announced Trump right yeah I thought they did Oh no, he announced Texas Oh, I'm ready Oh no, there he is Before he comes out
Starting point is 01:10:23 Yeah, yeah Yeah DJ From Detroit to Houston And New York to live There's pride in every American heart And it's time we stand and say Cheesy as it is
Starting point is 01:11:00 Like in these Not some dumb fascist We're gonna take over the world Not like dark black You know Flats You play to the crowd But I'm the crowd
Starting point is 01:11:08 And I still love it You know, Lee Greenwood, man, that's the good as a gift. I gobble that up, man. It's like the soundtrack to my life. There's an alignment here. There's no other Republican that could do this. Bill and Arena. No.
Starting point is 01:11:34 I don't know if any other politicians. No. Definitely not. Not right now. Clinton, Obama would have been the last guy to pull it off. I don't think Obama could pull it off today, though. No. He's not the president now, so.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Shout out to Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian Indian Peace Flore that they named this Great Continent after. Thank you very much, everybody. And Lee, thank you. He's been with me right from the beginning. You know, a lot of singers have wanted to introduce me. What you win, Lee, what I'll introduce you, you know? And I said, no way, nobody's introduced.
Starting point is 01:12:46 Only Lee. Lee's the only one get introduced me. Thank you. Great honor. And friends, this thing will. guest, Vice President Vance, and the proud citizens of the United States of America, welcome to the first ever midterm convention of any party. I have an imagination to think of it, but we thought of it.
Starting point is 01:13:18 I'm sure it'll become a staple in the years to come, but this is the first ever for any party. Two months ago, we came together to celebrate one of the most glorious days in history, the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence. And in 1776, our founders lit the immortal flame of American liberty in Philadelphia. What a time that was tonight. We gather in the great state of Texas. And by the way, I have to brag, it's a state.
Starting point is 01:14:03 I won all three times in massive landslides and got the highest vote. You have to brag? You must be kidding me. The highest vote in the history of Texas politics, can you believe that? The flame high and carry it boldly forward. We love this state and we love this country. That's all we can say.
Starting point is 01:14:28 But what an honor it is to be in Texas. What a place. What a place. Love it. With your support, we will make our nation stronger, safer, richer, freer, and greater than it has ever been before. It's what's happening. You know that's what's happening.
Starting point is 01:14:45 I wish their fake news would report it. There they are. Boy, that's a lot of fake news. That's a lot of fake news. You have to remember when we originally announced this eight weeks ago, they said, who's going to go to a midterm convention? That's never going to. This place is packed.
Starting point is 01:15:06 This pact is a big arena. Not only is this pack, but you have an equal number of people standing outside. If anybody would like to give up. their seat or whatever they're, whatever, if they're standing or if they have a seat, would anybody like to raise your hand and give up your seat? I thought so. Now, we have an amazing response. They love our party. They love what we're doing. In 55 days, Americans will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's history. Your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward.
Starting point is 01:15:52 and never ever looks back. America's future to the radical left Democrats, and our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet. It will be a tragedy. Vote Republican, and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come. There'll be nothing like it.
Starting point is 01:16:22 We're right at that game. The choice in this election is very, very simple. Democrats are asking you to vote for their failed far-left agendas never work that destroyed your finances and delivered you four years of disaster, bedlam and death under Sleepy Joe Biden. And I'm asking you to let us finish the job we began with the greatest two years in the history of the presidency. This has been the most successful two years financially and every other way
Starting point is 01:17:12 in the history of the presidency. And together we will turn a two-year comeback into a 250-year lead. We've never, nobody's ever had a start. It's not even two years. Maybe people need a smoke pot. All these super angry women on Instagram and TikTok. Countries and companies. Nail that dosage?
Starting point is 01:17:36 I'd be afraid that they'd be paranoid then. That's five, six, seven times higher than any country, not just here, any country ever. 20 over 20. Remember, I've been saying 19.2, but now it's over 20 for less than two years, substantially less than two years. When the two-year number comes out, that number could be 25 trillion dollars being invested here. The record, by the way, think of it, over 20 trillion. The record, by the way, is another foreign land. You probably know the land I'm talking about. In fact, the head of that land will be coming to the White House in two weeks.
Starting point is 01:18:22 Three trillion. So three trillion versus 20 trillion, but the 20 trillion after two years is going to close to 23, 24, 25. Nobody's ever seen anything like it ever, and it probably will never happen again. And I want you to remember me in four or five years when this country is rocketing. Remember, I'm the one that got it started. You seem to be right that we have a $20 trillion investment over the next good amount of multi-year commitments. It's a lot of it's pledged money. We have front row Jones.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Look at them. That's great. And we have the great ladies from North Carolina. Can you imagine? So they've been to 217 rallies. They're beautiful. They have wonderful husbands, but I'd never see the husbands. The husbands are husbands.
Starting point is 01:19:24 I think you're driving your husband. Husbands crazy. No, they've been fans right from the beginning of our policy. I guess they like me, but of our policy. And Front Row Joe's, it's number 412, I think. What do they do for a living? They make a lot of money, I think. But you guys are fantastic.
Starting point is 01:19:42 Thank you very much. And we have a special guest, Mr. Wall. I want to get a suit like that. Someday I'm going to go out and get a suit like that. Where do you get it? I'll walk up here because we built over. Think of this. We built over
Starting point is 01:19:57 1,400 miles of wall right on your Texanian corner. He's great. He's a hilarious guest, too. I like that, though. 1,400, and because of that,
Starting point is 01:20:10 we have the greatest numbers ever on immigration. We stopped it cold. It was a disaster. It was destroying our country, but we'll get onto that. When I'm on the ticket, Republicans always do very well.
Starting point is 01:20:24 We won the president. three times. How we won't. I like they're called brick suit, brick wall. By the way, now you notice numerous people on the other side are actually admitting it. How about that?
Starting point is 01:20:40 But this was a cool way of doing it. But we won it big, and we also won everything else because, you know, whatever it is, I was on the ticket. People came, and they did tremendously with the senators, out with the congressman. But for some reason, when a president wins, even if he's really a good president or a great president, there aren't too many of them.
Starting point is 01:21:02 They don't win the midterms, and nobody quite knows why. It's two out of, think of it, two out of 25 races. We're going to change that. There's no reason for it. There's no reason for it. Well, you had Thomas Massey. It's something deep down and psychological. You're going to have to explain it.
Starting point is 01:21:21 But I've asked people, what is the reason for it? If you have a president that's doing a great job, I don't think anybody's ever had two years. like we have. All over the world, they're admitting it. Other countries are failing and failing badly. But I say, why is it that no matter how well you're doing, we seem not a president, Democrat or Republican, almost never wins the midterms? We've got to change that because we have something going that's so good. We can't let that string be broken. The reason is because the international systems are bankrupting us, no matter who's in charge. So I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot. I'm on the ballot. I'm on the
Starting point is 01:21:58 the ballot. I'm on the ballot. The challenge is he's preaching to the choir. Just one more time. Because if we lose, you're going to lose your border. You're going to lose your tax cuts. You're going to lose your safety and security. You're going to lose your wealth. Our country is going through hell.
Starting point is 01:22:17 You will be going through hell. Just like you did just two years ago, we went through hell. We were a laughing stock all over the world. We were laughing. They don't laugh at us anymore, do they? They don't laugh. But that's what would happen. The pundits, the fake news, media, and the radical left communists will say anything they can to try and stop us.
Starting point is 01:22:40 But in this election, all that matters is that we are united, we are together, and what we say counts. That's all that matters. And on November 3rd, the Great America, The American majority is going to stand up and continue to make America great again, and we will make our voices heard perhaps like never before. That's the beautiful challenge that the midterms are not supposed to be won by the sitting president, and we're going to change that, and we'll make it an even more important time in our country and presidency. It'll be something very special. We have to do it. It'll be very special. I have to do it. And, you know, we have a very short period of time.
Starting point is 01:23:31 We just have to do it. And we really have 35 races. They all count. But we have 35 races that are, I guess you'd call the swings, right? Like we had seven swings dates. We won all seven, right? Now, so I said, not that I'm looking for the work. You know, I said the other day, I've got so much of a schedule.
Starting point is 01:23:55 I said, I thought I won. What do I have to do? I'm campaigning. But I am. We're campaigning to make it incredible, to really make it great, and to keep it great. So I am going to visit, and you have so many of those great senators, and I said, you know, the ones I want here, we have some that are leading by 30 points, and they've been there for 25 years. I said, don't come, please. Don't come.
Starting point is 01:24:19 The ones we need are the ones that you've heard. The ones that are very close, they might be winning by a little or losing by a little or tied. We can win every one of those races, but I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressmen and for senators. I'm going to do that. And we're going to have... The definition of driven.
Starting point is 01:24:46 This guy. You can be chilling on a boat in the Mediterranean, you know? Nobody works harder than Trump, all of them. Airboats. I mean... And we're going to have rallies just like this. We're going to have big arenas loaded up with people so the senators, they're great people.
Starting point is 01:25:03 So many, just great people. Their policies are, you know, they're common sense. I heard so many of the wonderful politicians that spoke. I watched a lot of them, and they talked about common sense. It's really about common sense more than anything else. It's not about the stupid policies that led us down the drain. We were going down the drain. If we hadn't won the last election, I'm not sure that our country right now would even
Starting point is 01:25:32 exist. It was going so bad. So I'm going to go to every one of them about 35. In a couple of cases, I'll go twice. And I'll do I'll do teletown halls and I'll be coming back to Texas because we have to elect Ken
Starting point is 01:25:53 Paxon. We have to. He'll ignore something until it means everything and then he gives it everything. And if I have to, I'll come back twice or three times. You'll say, get this guy out of you. Get him out of you. Get him out of here. He's here too much. No, I'll come once or twice or three.
Starting point is 01:26:19 I'll come whatever. We have to elect. That's what he's doing. Together. We will come together. We're going to continue to have. We have the strongest borders now. In the history of our country, we've never had anything.
Starting point is 01:26:34 We have to have strong borders. We have to continue low taxes. I gave you the biggest tax. decrease in the history of our country and no crime. We want no crime. We don't want crime. We'll have American energy independent, something you know a lot about in Texas,
Starting point is 01:26:52 and even we will have energy dominance. We will stand with our heroes in the military, our veterans, we love our veterans, and we take care of our veterans. 94% and our great police and law enforcement. We love our police. and law enforcement. And I think it's so important
Starting point is 01:27:19 because there is a crazy little sick cloud over our country. I really believe it's not going anywhere, but we have to make sure because we will defeat communism in America and vote for American freedom.
Starting point is 01:27:34 We will just vote very simply for American freedom. What does that mean? I think part of that American freedom is going to be electing Ken. We have to elect them. is really something special.
Starting point is 01:27:50 The fact is, and some... And I have to say this about Ken, it's so insulting. And I hope he doesn't get insulted. They said, sir, you can't say that. I said, I have to. They didn't even put it under teleprompter, but I don't use the teleprompter that much. They said, sir, you can't say it.
Starting point is 01:28:12 You just, please, it's not good. But I said it once before, and he went through the roof. I got to say it again. So they just said how wonderful he is, and how we have to... But I said it a little differently because the fact is that some may not like
Starting point is 01:28:27 the way he dresses. I don't. Although tonight he looked very spiffy in his blue suit. I must say, he's... But they may not like the way he talks. I can see that, you know? Not everybody. A lot of people don't like the way I talk either,
Starting point is 01:28:49 but we do get crowds. There's no question. And then they say, You can't say this, sir, that's so insulting. Please, sir. These are my analysts that get a lot of money for telling me a lot of nonsense. Sir, please don't, sir. So I talked about dress.
Starting point is 01:29:08 I talked about talk. And I even said this. But, you know, some people don't like the way I look either. You may not like the way he looks. But here's the news. In the history of Texas, he is the single greatest attorney general you've ever had. and maybe the top Attorney General in the whole United States. So I am very sorry, Ken.
Starting point is 01:29:32 I hate it to do it. And I'll go backstage. Sir, you shouldn't have said that. You've given them a statement. Let me tell you. It's true. He may not dress right. He may not talk exactly perfectly.
Starting point is 01:29:49 And he may not be the best-looking guy I've ever seen. But you know what he is? He's the greatest Attorney General in America. and he deserves to be your next senator. I'm sorry, Ken. Where the hell is he? I'm so sorry. He'll never speak to me again, but that's okay.
Starting point is 01:30:12 We have to allow him. But he's a great guy, and I know for a fact, because he fought with us so much. He took us, we have the wall because of him. We have so many victories because of Ken. We didn't have the wall. We'd be overrun instead of having zero. You know, we had zero.
Starting point is 01:30:30 for the last, zero people for the last 16 months. Can you believe it? We had 25 million come in under Biden, zero. But you know what, without the wall that he was instrumental, along with Greg Abbott, by the way, and by the way, and by the way, both senators, both senators, see, I'm being very nice. Ted Cruz worked very hard on the wall, and so did John Cornyn. So did John Cornyn.
Starting point is 01:31:02 Both senators. We had a lot of support, but without the wall, you know, we built this massive, beautiful, great wall. Beautiful, because it works. We could never have the numbers that we have, which is right now. Think of it. And these are made up by Democrats. The people that do these statistics, zero illegal aliens have entered our country from the southern border in the last 15 months. I just don't believe that.
Starting point is 01:31:28 That sounds too extreme. like Kim Jong-un batting a thousand or something zero zero on the doctor so the Democrats Democrats Democrats don't like that Democrats Democrats don't like America they said sir don't use this is a very important speech
Starting point is 01:32:01 they would get boot if they tried it of the importance of state of the union they said maybe not Republicans should send operatives into the Democratic conventions and try to get people to They said, please, please, make sure you make a video out of it. That's much easier to do than what I do, believe me.
Starting point is 01:32:21 That's easy to do. Ladies and gentlemen, it's an honor to be your president. Thank you. And you do that for about an hour and then everybody's falling asleep. This is a much, this is a much harder routine, let me tell you. But we're also out here to have a little bit of fun. And I just came up. I can't believe it's been, I've been doing this for like 10 years.
Starting point is 01:32:47 It just came up, which isn't long of your president to be. honest with you. A lot of guys over there, they're a hell of a lot longer. They're not precedent than my friends. I let them know that all the time, by the way. But I just came up with it a couple of months ago, and I said, you know, you take out the E and you replace it with a U. And nobody knows that dumb has a B at the end of it. Most people think it's D-U-M, and that's fine. So we take out the E, we replace it. We replace it. We replace it. with the EU and their Democrats because their policy is so bad. It's so bad.
Starting point is 01:33:26 And I usually don't like talking about how bad. Like for instance, men playing in women's sports, okay? I don't like to do it much before the election. I like to wait about a week before the election. I'm doing it much too early because I'm petrified that they'll change. And they'll say, you know what? Men should not be playing in women's sports. And that will really hurt us.
Starting point is 01:33:56 That's one of our great sound bites of all time. And I thought after we won in a landslide in the last election, they would change up. But I saw two senators and a congressman in the last week and a half on television, fighting like hell for men to play in women's sports. And I hope they continue to do that. They say it's an 80-20 issue. I say it's a 99-1, and I have no idea who the one is. I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:34:29 You saw the two great fighters. I was so honored to have them, world champions, and I watched them for a little while, and I was going to ask, Bo Nickel, hasn't been defeated in years, and Justin Gaetje, who is unbelievable, you saw that fight at the White House. It was the most violent fight.
Starting point is 01:34:47 I've said, Justin, Bo, come here, a minute, do you have any fear of fighting a particular woman? They didn't even know what the hell I was talking about. They said, what's wrong with this guy? Asked me such a stupid question. Anyway, we love the women. It's actually very demeaning what they're doing to women, if you want to know the truth. Very difficult.
Starting point is 01:35:10 So the Democrats gave us the worst and most dangerous border in American history with 25 million illegal aliens pouring in. Can you imagine? 25 million illegal aliens pouring in totally unchecked, unvetted, including gang members, human traffickers, child predators. One thousand, think of this. We had thousands. 11,800 murderers.
Starting point is 01:35:38 And you've heard me say this, because that's the exact number. 11,888 murders, many of whom, over 50% killed more than one person. They allowed them to come in to the country. I guess they think they're going to reform.
Starting point is 01:35:53 They're going to be wonderful people. They'll be the head of a bank someday. But today, we have the strongest, the most secure border in our country's history. And you saw the numbers. They came out just last week. We have the lowest level of illegal immigration ever recorded in our country. And as I said, in the past exactly 16 months, these are government stats. This is not Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:36:31 This is government, although I think I have more credibility than government. But in the past 16 months, a historic record of zero. Zero, done by Democrats, mostly. A couple of Republicans, I guess, but done by Democrats. Zero illegal aliens have been admitted into the United States through your border on Texas, in Texas. And therefore, zero have been admitted into Texas where they used to be running around, running rampant, killing people, destroying many houses and farms and ruining property values and creating havoc all over the state of Texas. You know that. I watched so often where they're interviewing people on the border
Starting point is 01:37:22 and long beyond the border, hundreds of miles away from the border, and their farm, their houses, was overrun. And I saw a program last week where they were interviewing a man who was on a show, one of the shows. I don't want to say because it's a terrible show. on a terrible network, but they're all sort of terrible, you know. They're all fake, a lot of fake news. I couldn't believe it. In fact, they're probably going to fire the producer of that segment. They went to him, and they said, how was it before?
Starting point is 01:37:50 They said it was horrible. I was living in hell. But since President Trump got elected, we haven't had one single incident. Nobody's charging our house. Nobody's holding us up. Nobody's threatening to beat us up. He said it's like. It's a very good statement, actually.
Starting point is 01:38:11 He said it's like we're living in a different country between now and two years ago, and we know that. But we've designated the cartels, as you know, as foreign terrorist organizations, something which no other president had the courage to do. And we're using our military force to totally decimate them. You probably noticed that the flow of fentanyl coming across our border is down,
Starting point is 01:38:38 67% and fentanyl and other drugs coming in through the oceans and the seas and most importantly the Gulf of America. By the way, you know, I just put out, because you know Lake Ontario, we're going to call that now Lake America, although maybe it's going to work out. Canada very much wants to make a deal. But it's going to be called Lake America. other one we came up with today. Well, we could go into oceans like the Pacific
Starting point is 01:39:31 Ocean or the Atlantic. We can't have both. I don't think you can do both. That's true. But we did come up with one the other day, which we think is appropriate. You have a neighboring state, New Mexico. We think it should be called New America, New America. I'll tell you, the people love the idea.
Starting point is 01:39:55 I don't know about the radical left, I'm sure, doesn't like it, but the people love it. New America. Your neighbor is called New America. But the Democrats, very simply put handcuffs on our police, and we put handcuffs on criminals is a big difference. A handcuff our police. And last year, I think you saw this,
Starting point is 01:40:20 we achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded the history of our country, with the murder rate falling to the lowest level in 125 years, the year 1900. And that's despite the fact that, you know, we've removed tremendous numbers of people, and we focus on the bad ones, and we got some really bad, some of the worst killers you'll ever imagine. But that's despite the fact that some of these people, so many have come in. Again, we've gotten a lot of them out. I can say most, but soon it will be most of them out. We're working like hell to get them the hell out of here.
Starting point is 01:41:00 But that's despite the lowest murder. rate since the year. 1900. That's big stuff. That's long before my father was born. I had a great father. He was born after that number. He'd never like talking about age. He was born after that number. He's looking down to me, say,
Starting point is 01:41:20 what do you have to mention that for, son? Our predecessors killed and buried the American dream with trillions of dollars in waste and green energy scams, the greatest scams in American history. Green energy, they didn't even know. even though most of them had no idea what it was. They just said, let's go green. And every country that's gone green is down the tubes.
Starting point is 01:41:40 You do know that. But it caused prices to skyrocket. They used the word affordability, right? It's fake. They are so fake. Because it was them that caused the affordability to use their word crisis. And I'm bringing the prices way down, way, way down.
Starting point is 01:42:02 They caused the price. But we're fixing it. Yeah, the prices are pretty bad right now. Now, my first time, if you remember, I was, I won the election and then. To be fair, at least it's saying. Yeah. It's the Republicans not saying much. Like on January 21st.
Starting point is 01:42:18 You've got to realize most people, the economy is not the stock market. And those people right there are recognized many of them, the fake news. And they started screaming. They started screaming at me. It's a word they use, affordability. They said, what about affordability? And I said, what about affordability? what about affordability telling me?
Starting point is 01:42:35 They said, eggs are up four times since your administration. I said, well, I didn't really know that. You know, I just got here like today, it's my second day. By the way, through Brooke, who you just saw speak, we got eggs down lower than during my administration. And food prices and almost every other item are rapidly going down. And by the way, oil would be going down
Starting point is 01:43:07 as soon as we win the war with the rent, which is taking place right now. We'll win it. We're winning it. We control the hormone straight. I think we should call the hormone straight. We should call it the Trump Strait.
Starting point is 01:43:23 I should get something out of it. The Trump Strait. It's going to be called. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll have an announcement. We'll come. the Trump straight, and I'm sure the Iranian leadership will be thrilled with that. I'd like to tell you it was their idea. It was not their idea. I don't think they're too happy about,
Starting point is 01:43:51 I don't think they're too happy about anything. Their country is falling apart. They've been the bully of the Middle East for 51 years and they're not the bully anymore. Two years ago, our country was dead. Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. Hottest in the world. The stock markets, all of them, have set 80 all-time records since the election. So you're talking about a little more than a year and a half. 80 days during that period of time, the stock market has set an all-time record. And maybe very importantly for some of the people, though they bear some relationship, the typical Americans 401K has gone up by almost $50,000.
Starting point is 01:44:38 and unemployment claims have reached the lowest level ever recorded. I mean, we're doing well. I only wish the fake news would give us credit for what's happening. There's never been anything like it. I told you about the investment. The investment in our country is record, but everything. Right now, in the United States of America, we have more people working than we have ever had before by a lot. The last Democrat Congress took thousands of dollars out of your pocket.
Starting point is 01:45:24 Our Republican Congress, and by the way, we have, I think we'll go down as the greatest speaker of the House in the history of our country, Mike Johnson. I hope it works. I hope his speech gets people excited. It's been rough. They needed this. These people are just going and doing this? Yeah. These people feel like men are working. He's the only one selling something. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:52 Now, he's amazing. Think of it. He's got a majority of three. And three of them aren't the best people, I will tell you. And we just get approving, approval. We get more stuff, including the great big, beautiful Bill, the greatest bill baby ever passed. Thank you, Mike.
Starting point is 01:46:11 Great job. He's a fine person, too. And John Thune is here from the Senate. Where's John? Where is John? John is working hard. He's not going to get any one. He's got great opposition.
Starting point is 01:46:30 He's got great opposition from the Democrat, Schumer, and these guys are terrible. He's got great opposition. He's working very hard. He's going to have great success. You watch. We are going to have great success with our Republican senators. And by the way, we have great Republican senators. David, thank you for being here.
Starting point is 01:46:54 Eric, thank you for being here. I'm looking at our people over there. Thank you all for being here. We appreciate it. But our Republican Congress puts thousands of dollars into the pockets of working families with the largest tax cuts in the history of our country. So we had the largest in history.
Starting point is 01:47:16 We gave you no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our country. great seniors. And that's done. That's done. And we also made interest payments. Think of this. People go out, they buy a car, they borrow money, many people borrow money, and we got tax deductibility of your interest payment all against your income tax, and people are loving it, and they're using it, and it's great for our car industry, which is, by the way, setting new records.
Starting point is 01:47:52 We're building car plants all over the United States. For 48 years, we built none. Now we're building them all over. Honda's coming in, building one of the biggest in the world. Toyota is building one of the biggest in the world. General Motors is going while. Ford is going. They're all doing great.
Starting point is 01:48:09 It's like the golden age of America. It's a golden age of the automobile business. But that interest is tax deductible. But what's the caveat? Only if the car is made. in America. Help of our great energy workers here in Texas, our country is producing more oil and gas today than ever before. Now, listen to this, more than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined. How about that? And you remember during the campaign, I love that campaign, it was some, but I love
Starting point is 01:49:04 the second one too. I love that one too. But they cheat. We can't let that happen. They cheat. That's why we want to pass the Save America Act to stop the jury. He's chairing for 10. You mean, he just talked about Newt. That's got wronged by piece, you know? And we will. That pulls higher than the men and women's sports thing. They couldn't get, move on that.
Starting point is 01:49:33 That's a layup. Republicans would be much happier with Congress, both sides if the Senate passed. We have tremendous opposition, because you know what they're talking about. They're talking about, we want voter ID, voter identification. Ideally, we want it with a photo. So that when I see Tim Scott, who made a great speech tonight, by the way,
Starting point is 01:50:10 I watch it back. Senator Tim Scott, South Carolina. So when he speaks, I won't get him mixed up with, let's see who's over there, with Scott Bessent, okay? I want a photo idea, so Tim, And Scott, don't get mixed up. Now, the only reason the Democrats are fighting us on voter ID,
Starting point is 01:50:36 and you know what the second is, proof of citizenship, okay? So the only reason they're fighting us is because they want to cheat. There's no other reason. But you have to admit they're really good at their stuff. They come up with more excuses. They say, it's important not to have voter ID because it's extraordinary. extraordinarily difficult for some people. It's they have more
Starting point is 01:51:01 bullshit than any human beings on the planet. He swears just like me. Palmer, Director. Just a right. So they're fighting us. A hundred percent.
Starting point is 01:51:22 Think of it, of the Democrats voted against voter ID. And 100% of the Democrats, 100%. And you know the Democrat voters actually like it. It polls at 80. for the whole voting public. Yep.
Starting point is 01:51:38 A hundred percent of the Democrats voted against all these things, tax cuts, everything else, but they voted against voter ID and they voted against proof of citizenship. Like, sir, excuse me, sir, are you a citizen of the United States? It's none of your business, I'm voting. Can you believe this? A hundred percent. And most Republicans, most Republicans, most. Not quite all. You'll have to check them out, but not quite all. But most Republicans, almost all Republicans voted for it, but we have a huge, a huge block. It's the Democrats. They don't want to have voter ID. They don't want to have proof of citizenship. I think it's a disgrace. But getting back to oil, okay? We, we, we are doing, and as I said, you're the biggest, with now the biggest in the world, we were nowhere near that. Now we're the biggest in the world. And that's without.
Starting point is 01:52:34 Venezuela, which we've just added to our little stockpile. It's the biggest oil deal, and probably it's the biggest deal in the history of our country. 65 billion barrels or ours, and you know what they say it is? Lifetime? 500 years. And you know, in Venezuela, you know how you find the oil? You know the way Exxon and Chevron, They go around looking, they hire these geniuses, they pay millions of dollars, they spend millions and millions for equipment. They go all over the world looking.
Starting point is 01:53:13 They can't find it. In Venezuela, what you do is the following. You look on the ground. And you see ground that's soaking wet with oil, and you say, let's build our rig right there. There's really nothing like it. And we have a great relationship. But by the way, I'd like to thank Pete Higgseth,
Starting point is 01:53:40 and I'd like to thank, I'd like to thank. General King. By the way, I'd like to thank Pete Hengseth. Where is General King? I'd like to thank, here's someplace. This place is that big room. This place is packed. Do you think the fake news, you know what they're going to do?
Starting point is 01:53:56 The fake news will go around and see that man up there, he's leaving for the bathroom. He'll be back in two minutes. They'll take a picture of his seat while he's gone. And they'll say, Trump did not fill up the arena. The arena was not filled. Look at the seat. So please, if you don't mind, don't anybody go to the bathroom?
Starting point is 01:54:20 No, we had it recently. So, Darlene Graham, Lindsey, we loved Lindsay. Lindsay was a great guy. Good girl. And he's looking down and he's smiling. But he was a good guy, and he has a great sister. Because we're still at war with the rain. But she never did politics before.
Starting point is 01:54:38 We had a rally in South Carolina, and it was great. It was this really, thank you, right? And it was this really big, it was this really beautiful, big arena, but it was, you know, more of like a convention area. And not that big from the standpoint of, like this, this is a big Dallas Mavericks team, which is going to be hopefully good. I don't understand, I must tell you, I don't understand. The trade? That trade is not good.
Starting point is 01:55:09 Why do I know about basketball? I would say that was not going to, it's not going to go down as the greatest trade in the history of sports. It might go down as the worst trade in the history of sports. No, actually, okay, you know the worst trade in the history of sports, right? Hershal Walker. The great Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth, 19-year-old pitcher for a 36-year-old, third baseman, and $100,000. At that time, that was like $10 million, I guess, because Boston needed money.
Starting point is 01:55:35 money. So Babe will always be the worst trade. But is it Luca? That's not good. Maybe we could redo that trade. I redo deals all the time. We got to redo. We got to redo that deal. I don't get that deal. You know, some deals you understand. I understand deals, but that one I didn't quite get. Somebody from Dallas, I'm sure, can explain it to me. But with Venezuela, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, our great senator, David, thank you. And all of our other incredible states, we're more powerful now than OPEC and prices. Right after this very important election on November 3rd, we'll be plummeting. The world will be over very shortly after the election.
Starting point is 01:56:29 They're hanging out for dear life, hoping that we lose so they can deal with dumb, weak Democrats. And they can have their nuclear. But we're not going to let that happen. So they're going to be quitting or dropping out or who knows what the hell, whatever it is. Right after Election Day, because they want to deal, desperately want to deal with Democrats like Obama, Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him? Barack Hussein Obama made a deal, J.C. POA. One of the worst deals in the history.
Starting point is 01:57:08 It was a road to a nuclear weapon for Iran or Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe gave them everything. They thought they could buy their way into a deal, and instead they used all the money they got to create nuclear weapons, and they got very close. And if we didn't hit them, two things. If I didn't cancel the JCPOA, and if we didn't hit them with our beautiful the wing,
Starting point is 01:57:33 our beautiful B-2 bombers, they would have a nuclear weapon right now, and I would be addressing them as Supreme Leader, Mr. Supreme Leader, sir, how are you? But now I don't have to do that. If they had a nuclear weapon, I'd be calling the Supreme Leader, and I'd be saying, Mr. Supreme Leader, how are you, sir? Is there anything we can do for you?
Starting point is 01:57:55 As opposed to bombing the crap out of them. Nuclear weapon, it's very simple. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. You know, I decided to do this. We had the best reports our country has ever had. And I went to Scott Besant, I went to Howard, I went to all of our guys. I said, you know, I'm sorry to do this year.
Starting point is 01:58:22 We just announced record. Our stock market hit records. By the way, our stock market's much higher today than it was when I first did the attack, just so you know. But our stock market hit records. We were doing great, and oil was low. I was in Iowa. The oil was at $1.85 a gallon for cars. There was another one, $1.95, but I saw that last one, 185.
Starting point is 01:58:44 We were doing great. I called them all into the office. I said, fellas, I hate to do this. to you. We have the best records we've ever had, but we have a country that's two, maybe three weeks away from having a nuclear weapon, and it's the state sponsor of terror all over the world, considered just about the most evil country. We cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. And a couple of them, including Scott, who's a great financial guy, sir, is there any time we could do it later, maybe, sir? Do you think you could hold off in this a little bit?
Starting point is 01:59:19 I said, no, because if we don't hit them now, they're going to have a nuclear weapon within one month. You know, the places we bombed would have been turned into nuclear weapons. I call it nuclear dust right now, but the nuclear dust could get very violent, and we hit them really hard. We did an amazing job. Those B-2 bombers came in from Missouri, from Missouri, the home of Eric Schmidt, came in from the great state of Missouri. they flew for 37 hours back and forth. They refueled four times up in the air, and they bombed the hell out of them,
Starting point is 02:00:00 and they knocked them out. They killed so many people in the crowd. And we may have to do it. There's another place called Pickax Mountain, another nice place. We may have to give them a shot there, too, because somebody said there was a little movement at the site. We don't need much.
Starting point is 02:00:19 We see every... You know, because of space, which was my baby, I have to say, the first term. We can see everything. We can see the tag on their coat. Mohammed Al-Fayat. You can see the tag on your coat, too, if you're listening. It's never Mohammed, it's never Mohammed Jones, Mohammed's.
Starting point is 02:00:45 My Hamid al-Zerri. And it says right on this tag, We can read it from space. Can you believe this? Thousands of miles away and we're reading somebody's. We know exactly what's going on. But we notice there's a little activity at Pickaxe. I would advise Iran not to get cute
Starting point is 02:01:04 because we will have to hit them very hard. We have no choice, right? We have no choice. Does anybody here think that Iran should have a nuclear weapon? Anybody? Who feels Iran should not have a nuclear weapon? What happens to me all the time? Guys come up, you know, I wish you didn't do the war in Iran.
Starting point is 02:01:30 Gasolines up, blah, blah, blah. And I say, well, let me ask you just smart people. Let me ask you, not too many of them, by the way. Let me ask you one question. Can Iran have a nuclear weapon? Absolutely not. Well, then I'm right that I win. They can.
Starting point is 02:01:45 You just don't want them to. They can. Because, you know, for 51 years, they always say 47, but, you know, I've been saying that for four years. We can't do it. For 51 years, sorry. People have been trying to. and other presidents have been trying to talk them out of it.
Starting point is 02:02:00 This whole like, I had no choice. It's so annoying. They don't understand. They only understand one thing, and that's, they're getting plenty of it. Between our Venezuela and oil deal, all of our new mineral deals, trillions and trillions of dollars that would take it in with my most favorite word, but now I moved it to fifth place, you know. Because the press, for the few people that haven't heard this story,
Starting point is 02:02:25 tariff. I said, tariff is my favorite word in the whole dictionary. My favorite. I love the word. And I said that at one of the big rallies I had a while ago. Tariffs are my favorite word. It's going to make America rich. It's making us much richer than we ever thought.
Starting point is 02:02:45 But we're taking in trillions of dollars. Okay. But I said, tariff is my favorite word. And the fake news went crazy. They said, what about love? What about wife? What about God? family. So I moved tariff down to fifth, and now I'm okay. Now I'm okay. They've been
Starting point is 02:03:08 leaving me alone. Oh, they hit me hard. They hit me hard. They said tariff. What about religion? So I moved it to fifth, and now they've been pretty good. I'm surprised they didn't move me deeper. But trillions of dollars in tariff revenue have come in and record investments from foreign countries and our enormous new equity stakes and major companies. I did something I'm getting killed for it. Intel. Intel is a good, really good company. But what happened is stupid presidents allowed the chip business to leave our country and go to Taiwan. And stupid. All they had to do is put tariffs on and they wouldn't have left. In other words, Taiwan, you're going to sell chips to America. You've got to pay 100 percent. Got to pay 200 percent. 50 percent.
Starting point is 02:03:55 anything. And you wouldn't have had. But they didn't do that until I came along. What happened is Intel became old and tired and got in trouble. And they came to see me, the head of Intel, who was a nice man, actually, and he said, sir, I need you help. And he said, why? Whatever it was. And I said, well, you came to the right place. I'm the only one that can help you. I was there with Scott and Howard Lutnik are Commerce Secretary doing a good job and a couple of others. I said, I'm the only one that can help you. I said, here's a deal. Give the United States of America 10% of Intel.
Starting point is 02:04:38 Now the thing was worth like $120 billion, you know. It lost its way, but it's still worth a lot of money. I say, give the United States of America 10% of Intel. and I'll get this problem solved for you. He stood up immediately and he said, you have a deal, and I said, I should have asked for more. I said to my guys, what the hell's wrong with me? But anyway, I shook his hand.
Starting point is 02:05:05 But that was worth $12 billion. So in one meeting, I picked up $12 billion. But what's happened, well, that's not even the good part. Because what happened to Intel is amazing. It, like, became the number one stock on the exchange, various exchanges, by the way. And I don't know, I see Scott up there. He made a great speech, by the way.
Starting point is 02:05:27 I see Scott, Scott, how many times has it doubled and tripled and quadrupled? What's it now, Scott? How much is it worth? He said five times. No, it's worth like, I think we made a $60 billion profit, something like that. If I'm wrong, they'll say horrible.
Starting point is 02:05:49 So let me lower the number just. Because if I'm wrong, they'll say he exaggerated the number. But it went up like four or five times. We made $50 or $60 billion in just a number of months. And it's one of the hottest stocks on the stock exchanges, because it's numerous exchanges and more than one. And it's been amazing. Do I get credit for it?
Starting point is 02:06:12 No. Do I get credit for building a ballroom with my money? I'm the only one. I build a ballroom. No money, no tax. I don't want tax money. I don't want anything. It's me and a gunter patriots. They put up lots of money to build this, which is desperately needed. And it's going to be beautiful. And everyone's going to say, oh, thank God. No, it's going to be beautiful. Zero tax dollars for the ballroom. Zero tax dollars. And what happens? I get
Starting point is 02:06:41 criticized. It's the most incredible thing. Anybody else would do that there say, what a nice gesture. So I'm giving you a ballroom free of charge, okay? That's all I can tell you. most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world. It'll be the best. And it's, by the way, drone proof, bullet proof, everything proof. It's got glass this thick, six inches thick. It's going to be great. It's going to be a little safer than the place that we happen to have that little White House correspondence. Do you remember that? That was not the safest feeling. This is going to be great. But we give it to you tax-free, and I hope you enjoy it. You know, the other thing is that I'm only going to get to use it a few months.
Starting point is 02:07:24 It's going to be built. We're on time. We're under budget, actually, and ahead of schedule. And I'll only get to use it. People forget. You know, they say, he's building a ballroom for himself. No, I'll be there for a few months. I'd love to have it for a long time.
Starting point is 02:07:39 But they've wanted a ballroom at the White House presidents for 150 years. You know, we have the president of China coming in two weeks, who's, you know, I get along great with him. We have a very good, that's better. You know, it's a good thing, not a bad thing. Some people say, oh, it's terrible. That's a very good thing.
Starting point is 02:07:54 But we have, like, 101 people. We could have 2,000 people. I could have this whole stadium would like to go there. So we're building something that's going to be the most beautiful. Anywhere in the world, when I was in China, they have a building. It's called the Great Hall of China. It's a serious hall. This is a very large hall.
Starting point is 02:08:14 But we're going to top it, you know? We're going to top it. And it's going to be at the White House. And all these presidents to come, hopefully mostly Republicans, but Democrats also are going to be very thankful that they have it, and it's going to be an honor to do it. And I just want to say that the radical left Democrats will not have and could not have,
Starting point is 02:08:33 and this is very important because I'm getting to maybe, maybe what will be the best part of the speech. So why I, because I love the weave, you know what the weave is? You talk about something, then you bring in a ballroom, or you bring in an airplane, or you bring in a airplane, or you bring an Air Force One. But you notice I always get right back to the same topic. Now, when I don't come back, she's great.
Starting point is 02:08:59 He says I love Melania. She's doing a good job. So, someday there'll be a time when I do the weave is weave, weave, weave. Someday there'll be a time when I don't get back to the original subject, and then you can say he's had it. You can say then he's had it. But what we're doing is because we've done so well and because our country is making so much money that only I can make this promise to you.
Starting point is 02:09:36 And here is my promise. If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our economic, tremendous economic success, like in history, we've never had anything like what's happening. But because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000. Buying votes? Remember when I said if Trump came out and said, we're going to do a dividend? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:16 He must watch the show? He does. Pretty much like a successful company will do a cash distribution. to its shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military, 1776, remember? I gave it to our military, $1,776. Can you believe that the number was 1775? And I said, you know, if we add $1, we're at 1776.
Starting point is 02:10:52 Can you believe? I said, did anybody think of that? No. But we gave our great military $17770. $176, and they are thrilled. Every time I see them, they thank me. But this is what we're doing, and it was greatly appreciated, just like I did with the Trump accounts for children,
Starting point is 02:11:12 where young people, children, and many of them born into poverty or families with very little money or future will be potentially rich when they turn 18 or 21. Think of it. Their family won't have much money, but the government is putting $1,000 into an account for beautiful babies born. But in many cases, they're born into poverty. They're born poor.
Starting point is 02:11:40 They're born not rich, but they get $1,000, and we do matching funds and all sorts of things. And Michael and Susan Dell, he put up, think of this. Is he speaking tomorrow, too? Tomorrow's going to be $10,000 dividend. $6 billion. $250 million. I wonder if that was saying.
Starting point is 02:12:03 So far, he's a large... Anybody in the room like to challenge that number and put up a little... So go out and buy his computers. He's a very good guy. Now they'll say, oh, he's making a political... I'm not making it. The guy gave us $6 billion, $250 million. And he did that not because he had to,
Starting point is 02:12:21 because he really wanted to do it. And children are going to turn 18 or 19 or 20 or 21. They're going to have an account. And if the market is good, like if the market's like today, they become quite rich. very young age, instead of having no money whatsoever. It's an amazing thing and very popular. We have other people, by the way. We have other rich people. They took the entire state. Somebody put up the entire state of Indiana, putting up money for every child born, the entire state.
Starting point is 02:12:55 Brad, thank you very much. But the only condition on the payment of this dividend that we're going to be making, so it's $5,000 to every adult, the only caveat I have is that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America. We don't want you... Sorry, your money is fungible. How are you going to police that?
Starting point is 02:13:22 We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money. We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America. In other words, if the Republicans win, if you win, we might not win. The reason the Democrats can't do that
Starting point is 02:13:39 is because they don't do tariffs, they don't take in money. All they know is poverty and how to ruin our country. But we're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump dividend. We'll call it the Trump dividend. 5,000 loads of bread. Where does this?
Starting point is 02:14:01 5,000 a person come from, would you say? Now all we have to do is win. And under my leadership, we also made our historic, most favored nation agreements on drug prices. Nobody thought it was possible. For decades, Americans paid the highest prices for prescription drugs anywhere in the world. We paid the highest drug prices in the world. And now, because of what I did with Bobby Kennedy, who's over there, with Dr. Oz, who's over there. Aaron Rogers, that's standing up right there.
Starting point is 02:14:49 Thank you. Bobby, Dr. Oz. We have a great clue. So we went from the highest prices by far in the world, and now we pay the lowest prices in the entire world for prescription drugs. And nobody wants to write a story about it. I'm trying to get the press.
Starting point is 02:15:10 I think it's one of the biggest things to happen medically, health care-wise, in history. I cannot get a story out of it. I'm trying. I'm saying, would you please tell the people how great I am, please? But I'm giving you the largest prescription drug price cuts in history with differences of 400, 500
Starting point is 02:15:29 and even 6.00%? No, well, Donald Trump can talk. He can. He can talk. We can talk tomorrow too. That alone should win 35 times between now and the terms at least. If we did nothing else, that should because everybody said, other presidents
Starting point is 02:15:45 tried and they failed. They weren't able to do it. But I would call countries. The big problem, I got the drug companies to do it, but they knew that I couldn't get it from countries. Never got. I would call. I would I would call France, I would call other countries. In the case of France, I would speak to President Macron, beautiful accent, wonderful guy, say,
Starting point is 02:16:04 Emmanuel, please, please do us a favor. You have to double or triple the drug prices in France, if you don't mind, because you're paying $10 for a pill and we're paying $130 for the same pill. So the concept is they'll go up somewhat and we'll come way down because the world is bigger than us, so it's disproportionate. so it's disproportionate down. So he said, no, no, no, I will not do that, Donald.
Starting point is 02:16:29 Why would I do a thing? Said, you have no choice, you're gonna do it. He said, no, no, I will not do that, Donald. You don't understand. I will not do that, Mr. President. I said, yes, you will. I will tell you you will do it because if you don't do it. I am putting a 150% tariff on all wines
Starting point is 02:16:46 and everything else coming into the United States. It's like a nursery wine. And he said, Donald, you really can't do that. I said, yes, I can't. I have the papers in front of me. I'm going to sign them right now. He said, Donald, I would love to do that. So he agreed.
Starting point is 02:17:02 And I had the same conversation with about 25 other countries had to get their approval. Got everybody's approval, whether it's wine, champagne, cars, it was always something. Everybody's got a weak spot. Remember that in life? Everybody has a weak spot. I won't tell you what my weak spot is.
Starting point is 02:17:18 I refuse this. But on the world stage, America is respected again like we have never been respected before. That I can tell you. And here at home we ended the woke madness Democrats cruelly inflicted upon America. We abolished all of the diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates across the federal government.
Starting point is 02:17:45 We made English the official language of the United States. We banned transgender ideology and critical race theory from our public schools and ended the transgender mutilence. gender mutilization of our children. Mutalization. There will be no more mutilization, which is what it was of our children.
Starting point is 02:18:14 And so importantly will, it sounds like a word now. It sounds like men playing in women's sports. And every single Democrat in Congress voted against our tax cuts. They voted against no tax on tips. This is every single one. It's incredible that Congress
Starting point is 02:18:35 the Senate, the House, that they were able to get this passed. They voted against no tax on tips. They voted against no tax on overtime. They voted against 100%. No tax on Social Security for our great seniors. They want to raise your taxes on Social Security. They want to raise your taxes on tips. They want to take, they want to get rid of no tax on tips.
Starting point is 02:19:01 They want to get rid of no tax on Social Security for the senior. They want to get rid of it. The overtime now is going wild. Companies love it. The people love it. They don't have to pay tax when they work overtime. They work in the longest hours. It's like a great incentive. They want to get rid of no tax on overtime.
Starting point is 02:19:20 Every Democrat voted against funding for the border security bill. They voted against funding on everything, the wall. They voted against voter ID. They voted against proof of citizenship. They voted against funding for our military and for our vets. and for our vets. They voted in favor. They voted in favor of transgender everything,
Starting point is 02:19:42 taxpayer-funded child mutilization. And they voted in favor of men playing in women's sports. Congressional Democrats voted against the American people every single time. And now they want you to vote yes on handing them the majority so they can take us back. They want to take back every single thing that Republicans, through a lot of really hard work and a lot of very brilliant thinking, gave you. All of those taxes are going to go through the roof if you put in the Democrats on November 3rd.
Starting point is 02:20:18 We will tell the radical left Democrats that we will never believe you again. We are never going back to where we were just two years ago when our country was an embarrassment. Our country was an embarrassment. No, our country was an embarrassment. We had a president that couldn't walk off the stage. You know, there's so many stairs, one here, one there. He'd finish his speech. The speeches only lasted about a minute, so where am I?
Starting point is 02:21:11 Where? Remember the time he walked into the wall in the back? He thought it was a stair. Couldn't sign his name in a document. Autopened everything. In this election, the Democrats have nominated the most extreme and dangerous group of candidates for the House and Senate ever to seek office. These people are radical left communists, many of them, not all of them, but many of them. In state after state, the Democrat establishment has been overthrown and replaced by crazed lunatics and radicals.
Starting point is 02:21:44 They call themselves Democrat, socialist, but actually they're communist. They're not socialist. They're long beyond socialists. Remember during the last State of the Union, I said, our country will never be a socialist country. I was right. It's going to be a communist country if they were. You know what they did? They dropped socialism.
Starting point is 02:22:04 They went right for the big one. They went right for the big one. They didn't want socialism anymore. They're crazy. They're crazy. Remember I said that during the state of the year? I shouldn't have said it. It was very rude.
Starting point is 02:22:17 But we're handing out the Medal of Honor to a man that landed. He ended a helicopter with his leg virtually blown off. In Venezuela, flawlessly landed a big Chinook. That's the double blader, big, carrying many, many soldiers. Most people would have been out. He took that helicopter, landed it perfectly. We then were able to get Maduro.
Starting point is 02:22:39 If we didn't land it, we would have had a big problem. And we presented him and others, but we presented him with the Congressional Medal of Honor. Boy, did he deserve it. And they sat there, remember, like this? They wouldn't clap. Now, I have to tell you, though, at the end of that State of the Union, they were clapping for everything. You know why?
Starting point is 02:23:04 People are calling them and saying, you guys are being slaughtered tonight. They wouldn't clap. Remember the 100-year-old soldier that I gave a special reward, too? Very special. The most special. They refused to clap. He was 104 years old. They refused to clap.
Starting point is 02:23:20 So some wise Democrat called them up and said, you people, People are crazy. You better start clapping. He's making you... And you know, honestly, they were clapping for everything. I could say anything. They were clapping. They were going wild. So they went from one extreme to the other. You know why? Because they're Democrats, that's why. But America has beaten communism before, and we will beat it again. We've beaten it before. The new Democrat communists have even published a manifesto. Do you believe it? We have a manifesto in our country.
Starting point is 02:24:00 They vowed to abolish the police. That makes a lot of sense. Abolish prisons. Abolish the United States Supreme Court. Abolish the United States senators. We have some very unhappy senators sitting right over there. They want to abolish ICE. They want to abolish Border Patrol.
Starting point is 02:24:21 And Paul, you were great tonight. Wherever you are, the head of Border Patrol. He was great. And they want to grant full. They want to grant full amnesty and voting rights to all illegal aliens, regardless of whether they were criminals and murders or any other type. Everybody gets them. If you were a murderer, you get to vote.
Starting point is 02:24:44 They want to ban all oil and gas, which I would think in Texas will give Ken a very big victory. No, think of it. They want to ban oil and gas. We're in Texas. I mean, this guy, Telfrico, this guy is... They want to defund the United States military and lower my very high standard on health care for our great vets. You know, they want to take away health care for our veterans.
Starting point is 02:25:23 They want to steal your money for reparations. They want to basically punish you for crimes that you never committed that happened hundreds of years ago. And our country doesn't have that kind of money. They have the money for $5,000, but they don't have. of that kind of moment. And give it to the people that hate our country. The people that hate our country are asking for it,
Starting point is 02:25:48 but it's going nowhere. And while, by the way, as long as you have Republicans, it's not even, it's, you know, you know, our party is really, we can say conservative, all that, our party is really based on a thing called common sense. It's all common sense. It's all common.
Starting point is 02:26:04 It's all common. But these are people who do not care, If your country is invaded by illegal immigrants, if your home is burglarized, if your parks and city streets are turned to filth and squalor and death, if your loved ones are pushed in front of a subway train in New York City or stabbed in the middle of a field in any state you want to pick, they don't care because they hate our country, and they are Democrats, and they're very, very wrong. On election night, we're going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it. America's, I mean, we have so many great people here tonight.
Starting point is 02:27:13 It's so sad because I'd like to mention every one of them. We have so many great senators, so many great congresspeople. But you can't. Time. One of the Democrats' top congressional candidates is a self-describes Marxist, who says he hates family households. Oh, that's nice. And wants to destroy the American way of life. These are words he used.
Starting point is 02:27:36 Another quotes Karl Marx saying she wants to seize the means of production and puts the works of communist butchers like Lenin, Stalin, into every library. They want to put the books of Lenin, Lenin, as they say, Lenin, Lenin and Stalin and every library. For all our young children to read and study, These are Democrat Party's nominees to wield control over the United States Congress. If they win the greatest legislative body and history will, for the first time ever,
Starting point is 02:28:10 be controlled by a communist caucus. They'll have a caucus of 20 people, 18 people, 10 people. That's enough to control Congress. Mike Johnson will tell you that we've got enough problems, right? How would you feel about having 22 communists? communists in your little group. Mike says no, please. I can't. We have, it's enough problems getting people to vote who aren't good people. We have a couple of them, but mostly they're gonzo. We take care of our bad people. We take really good care of our good people, though.
Starting point is 02:28:51 But we're not going to let the communism happen, not here, not in America, not in our 250th year. There's an example. In Florida, the Democrat nominee for Senate, Angie Nixon, no relation to Richard Nixon. The first thing I did, I want to check. Is she related at all to Richard Nixon? No. Is a card-carrying member of the Democrat Socialists of America?
Starting point is 02:29:26 In Michigan, the Democrat nominee is Abdul El-Said. He's about the fact that he wants to pack the Supreme Court with 23 far left lunatics, justices. His sister, who's absolutely, you got to listen to this one, his sister celebrated the terrorist slaughter of babies on October 7th. He thought it was a great thing. His sister thought it was a great day. His mother worked for an organization that gave hundreds of thousands. of dollars to people that follow Osama bin Laden. And he campaigns with a Marxist agitator
Starting point is 02:30:12 who says that America deserved 9-11. We deserve to have 3,000 people killed. Two massive structures brought to the ground. We deserved it, right? The Democrats did apologize for it, but I don't really trust. More of a backtrack, and an apology, though. Considering the back, the flag that is. I don't think he really means it.
Starting point is 02:30:35 I think he's like, who that was in, you know, I'm rich too far. So in November 3rd, get out and vote for Mike Rogers. Now, in North Carolina, you have a little more difficult case because people don't quite get it, but they're going to find out. Democrats nominated Roy Cooper, who worked with anti-police radicals to release thousands and thousands of dangerous criminals and murderers all over the one-safeet. and countryside of beautiful North Carolina.
Starting point is 02:31:09 My daughter-in-law, Laura loves North Carolina. She comes from there. And last year, on a train in Charlotte, you all saw it, one monster, an absolute monster, with 14 prior arrests, nothing but trouble, violent person, stood up behind a beautiful 23-year-old woman Hirina Zeritska and slashed a knife from behind across her neck and killed her almost instantly. Other than a look she gave up, what happened?
Starting point is 02:31:46 That was her last thought. It was a last look. He was an animal, a violent killer, and everyone knew it. They all knew it. They all knew he was destined to kill. He loomed over her as the life drained from her house. absolutely petrified. You've all seen it. And you don't want to see any more than the putting of the knife.
Starting point is 02:32:07 If you wanted to look at something as horrific as anything you'll ever see, let that tape run. Most networks, and I give them credit for this, they wouldn't let that happen. It was violent. Unfortunately, because of my position, I was forced to look. I did not like it. I did like looking, and I wish I never saw it. She died on a metro train, terrified and alone. I got to meet her mother at the State of the Union.
Starting point is 02:32:33 She was there. She was quite a while afterwards, and the mother's, she said, I haven't stopped crying since it took place. Never, she'll never be the same. Roy Cooper was the governor, released this animal into North Carolina society and others that were almost as bad. This happened up in Massachusetts.
Starting point is 02:32:59 It's a long time ago. when they released a violent criminal, and that man killed numerous women very quickly, raped and killed them, right after being released. And as you know, that governor from Massachusetts was running for president, and he was leading, and as soon as that happened, he took a 10-point drop, and then another 10-point,
Starting point is 02:33:25 and he got beat in a slaughter. That should happen to Roy Cooper, because Roy Cooper, what he's done is worse. Roy Cooper released. People like that can't imagine as bad, but very bad, murderers. All over the streets and fields of North Carolina. Did you ever see North Carolina how much crime they seem to have now? They never had crime.
Starting point is 02:33:55 And now they want to make him a senator. He wants to be a senator. Roy Cooper was governor when North Carolina was hit by the worst water-filled record-setting hurricane. This was a hurricane of massive water, maybe the most we've ever had hit this country water, that left the state ravaged. And he did nothing to help. He was a disaster during that very traumatic time. And it only got fixed on January 20th when I came into office and the number one advocate. And the number one advocate and the man that called me more than anybody else. So we had great support from our congressmen, Republicans, was Michael Watley, the head of the Republican Party.
Starting point is 02:34:47 He did such a good job as the head of North Carolina Republican Party that I said, I really want, I won North Carolina three times in a row by a lot. I said, I really want that guy to head up the Republican Party nationally. Name is Michael Watley. and he'll be an unbelievable. He's going to be unbelievable. There'll be nobody like him. I mean, he's just a winner.
Starting point is 02:35:17 Roy Cooper will make North Carolina a killing field, and he's a radical left politician posing as a moderate. In fact, he's one of the worst in the entire group, but nobody really understands it yet, but they will. And I just want to pay my condolences to the mother of Irina, who is living in hell right now. Her daughter would be alive today if North Carolina had a different governor because that animal would have been in prison or worse. He wouldn't have been let go to be on the streets and be in a train sitting right behind that beautiful young lady.
Starting point is 02:35:55 So vote for Michael Watley in North Carolina, which has become a crime-ridden state, including your new Democrat governor, is doing a lousy job. So Michael Watley will straighten things out just like he did when he ran the Republican Party in 2024 when we won a landslide election. And here in Texas, Democrats have dominated James Talafriko for the Senate. And he is a weird-looking dude. I mean, I don't like talking about that. But there's something missing there. Remember Mad Magazine? He looks to me just like Alfredine Newman.
Starting point is 02:36:42 Alfred E. Newman. Texas is not heavy into the world of Alfred E. He's Alfred E. Newman. And he's a bad one. He's bad. Telefriko authored a plan to annihilate Texas oil and gas. That's good. I'm working my ass off to get you oil and gas, and I got a guy that wants to end it.
Starting point is 02:37:05 Would Texas be willing to end oil and gas drilling? And watch Texas file for the equivalent. of chapter 11. You know what it's called? Chapter 17, if a state goes bankrupt, because that's what would happen. This guy would be a disaster. And he stated that he wants to totally dismantle capitalism, dismantle, quote, capitalism.
Starting point is 02:37:30 He described himself as a person who hates Christianity, says that God is transgender. He called the American flag a complicated symbol of hate, claimed that the Ten Commandments are a form of fascist, and when he was asked what he loved most in the world, he said, I love transgender children, which, as a quote, man, that is a...
Starting point is 02:37:54 He was also somebody that hated eating meat. But he ran a campaign to beat meat. He called it beat meat. I don't know what the hell he'd been by that. Say it again. These people are going to tell me, what the hell is he? What's the beat meat? It's like a setup.
Starting point is 02:38:20 Are you not entertained? But it was bad for his image, so he started eating meat. And he recently... It's getting worse. I'm getting worse. It's a punchline coming soon. He gets it. But he was recently seen having a barbecue and eating a lot of meat.
Starting point is 02:38:42 But that's what happened. He ate it, and then he was seen running backstage to a room and throwing up all over the place. He doesn't like meat. Maybe. He also loved wearing masks, and he was seen wearing a mask just a short number of months ago. Any guy in Texas that's wearing a mask a few months ago, this is not going to be your senator. It's not going to work out. Not going to work.
Starting point is 02:39:13 So getting back, freedom-loving patriots of Texas are going to defeat Tallahriko and elect Ken Paxson to protect the loaned starstown. You know, it's amazing. I'm looking at this massive crowd. It's filled all the way up since. All the way. There's a lot of people outside. And watch this. Nobody has left.
Starting point is 02:39:44 It's a great tribute to Trump. Nobody has to think of this. Nobody has left. And yet I'll read in the New York Times. that Trump lost his audience shortly. I'll read, I'll read tomorrow in some of the media, the New York Times, it's a failing newspaper, by the way. It's failing badly.
Starting point is 02:40:20 You know why? Because there's no credibility. But they'll have a reporter say, Trump lost his audience. He didn't enjoy it up there. I do. I'm having a lot of fun. You know why?
Starting point is 02:40:29 Because everybody loves me and I love everybody. So they'll say that they started. I didn't leave here. I've been speaking for an hour and 20 minutes. Nobody's left. There's no... But they'll say, the arena started emptying out, or they'll say, the arena, which was only 25% full. Really? How about those people? Now, this place is packed and outside. But I had the case. I was going to say before. So Lindsey Graham, sister, Darlene's fantastic, and she's running. And she was behind in the polls against a very good politician. Ralph Norman, very good politician, and she was a little behind, and I was pushing for her victory. And I went to South Carolina, and I gave a speech in a big room, and it was packed.
Starting point is 02:41:26 It was packed. And because of that speech, she won the election quite nicely. She won it quite nicely. And the people, it was standing room only, the people were packed outside. And then on watching the Sunday shows last week, a creep from the New York Times said, I was at that room, and there was very little enthusiasm. President Trump didn't really want to be there,
Starting point is 02:41:52 you could see it, and the room was half empty. The back of the room had nobody. Let me tell you, the back of the room made this one look empty. The place was packed thousands of people outside. And here's the bottom line, because of that speech, she won. But I had to listen to a guy live from the New York Times. His name is Sean McReach, something like that. And he lied.
Starting point is 02:42:19 And he said, so just remember we looked around. The place is packed. Nobody left. Let's keep it that way because I'm almost finished, okay? A vote for any Democrat this year, anywhere in the country, is a vote to let a small and dangerous group of extremists hold our Congress and our country hostage. If they win, every bill becomes a ransom negotiation.
Starting point is 02:42:44 It'll be very tough. If we want to fund the military, then we'll have to pay the Marxists who want to destroy it. If we want a homeland security funding, then we'll have to pay the radicals who think we deserved. Like I said, 9-11. I don't think so. With your vote in this election, you can tell these far-left lunatics and fanatics that America is not for sale to them or to anybody else. Do not negotiate with communists, with socialists, or with radical left lunatics.
Starting point is 02:43:37 We don't negotiate. The maniacs attacking our civilization think they're on this march. They're talking about this is a great march. Our country is the hottest country in the whole world. What the hell do you want us to do? They're talking about we will march. Everything they touch. You know, one thing I notice about even if I just talk social...
Starting point is 02:43:58 if I talk about radical left, without even going to communism. Everything mid-touch. Everything? I said this once a month ago. Yeah. I go a little off script if you don't mind. Isn't it nice to have a president
Starting point is 02:44:08 that doesn't have to use a script? Isn't that nice? But one thing I noticed about the radical left, like the cities, the blue cities, I don't want to go specific. I'm not going to mention New York, Chicago, all the same. I don't want to be specific.
Starting point is 02:44:29 But the one thing I noticed is, is dirt and filth. Everything's dirty and filthy and disgusting. And then the crime comes, and then the killing comes, and then everything else. And then we have to bail them out, or they don't get bailed out, and the thing goes to hell completely. But it's filthy, disgusting, dirty. You know what? I'm a guy I hate to shake hands. I used to hate it. I had to get used to it as a politician. And I think I was right. But now, you know, if you're a politician, don't shake somebody's hand. How's that for getting a vote? Guy comes up, Sir, ma'am, please shake your hand.
Starting point is 02:45:01 No, I don't want to shake your head. Oh, let's go out and vote for him tomorrow. You have to get... He's better when he stops the promter. But, you know, I like cleanliness. I'm a very clean person. And I notice that these radical left places, they turn dirty, filthy, disgusting,
Starting point is 02:45:16 and then the crime follows. So we can't let that happen to our country. We just can't let it happen. That's a good observation of how filth makes people... So, he's actually one year ago tomorrow, a far-left extremist, assassinated my great friend and conservative voice Charlie Kirk because Charlie Kirk spoke the truth. What shocked millions of American was not only the fact that Charlie was murdered as bad as it was,
Starting point is 02:45:46 but also how many people made an excuse for it or cheered for it. They were cheering. Some people, sick people. For a brief moment, the mask came off the radical left, and you saw what they were really all. all about. And now those same people are trying to get power over you in this election. And they are all voting Democrat. Okay? They're all voting every one of them. And you can't let it happen. We will not let them win. And in Charlie's honor, I just want to say we love you, Charlie. And Erica is here someplace. Erica, where is Eric? Very much. And thank you, Erica. And I think Erica is going to be here tomorrow, too. So she's put up with something, boy, oh boy, what she's had to go through.
Starting point is 02:47:12 And the most beautiful family, it's just terrible. But tough life, tough life. Can't let it happen. From the very beginning of this journey, I've not stopped fighting and I never will stop fighting to protect you, your family. I had a great life before I did this. This is a little different. I had a very nice life. I didn't need to be here tonight.
Starting point is 02:47:36 I could have been in a nice place somewhere in the world. But I want to be here because I love you people. I really do. But the radical left communists have tried to persecute me, my loved ones and my supporters. They attempted to put me in jail and even tried to kill me because I was doing a good job. But through it all, I have never quit. I've never backed down. I never will.
Starting point is 02:48:11 And every single promise I've made to you as a candidate I've delivered on, I've delivered on everything. We've delivered on many more things than I even talked about. Somebody said he's actually delivered, the only politician they say this about, but that I've delivered many more things than I even talked about. And all I'm asking to this election is that you stand with me together.
Starting point is 02:48:32 We will defeat communism in America. Once and for all, we're going to defeat it, and we have to defeat it badly. Defeating viruses, it's a constant... And with you vote, because of your great work and our tremendous economic success, as I said, we're going to give you that Trump dividend to $5,000 if we win, and we're going to win.
Starting point is 02:48:59 And we'll make all Trump tax cuts permanent so that the Democrats can't end them. We have them. We're not going to let them end them. And we'll pass the great health care plan. We call it the great health care plan to stop all government payments to the big insurance companies, which, by the way, the insurance companies
Starting point is 02:49:19 own the Democrats. They own them. And give the money directly to the people for you to go out and buy your own health care. You'll get much better health care and have money left over for yourselves. And very quickly, surprise medical billing. And the surprise medical billing is a tremendous,
Starting point is 02:49:43 horrible situation in our country. And require insurers and hospitals to post all prices clearly in plain English so you can see what you're getting into. And we will make our... our most favorite nation agreements on prescription drug prices permanent, which reduces your prescription drug prices by up to 90%. Think of that. You know, when I was in my first term, for 28 years, there's never been a president that reduced drug prices, but I did. One-eighth of
Starting point is 02:50:12 1%. And I was so proud, I called for a news conference, and I brag to the press. So prices from January till the end of December went down, one-eighth of 1%. And now I'm reducing them 90%. And I'm 90% more. And we'll cut out-of-control credit card swipe fees, saving the average family at least $1,200 per year, and will not allow Americans to pay seven to eight times more for those fees than they do in any other country. We pay seven, eight, and nine times more than they do another. It's almost like the prescription drugs, same kind of a thing. We'll straighten it out very quickly.
Starting point is 02:50:53 We will make it legally impossible for any of the... Any future president to destroy our country by having the right to open the border again, we will pass a no invasion of our country act. You would have to do that. It's so crazy. You're not crazy. It's making a law that we can't let people invade our country. And we will win the war on fraud, headed up, by the way, by J.D. Vance, who's doing a great job. You see Marco there tonight? I haven't seen him.
Starting point is 02:51:38 You know, I watched him last week, and he was standing there. with like 20 guys behind them, all central casting, all look like they just got out of the greatest law schools. And I said, it looks like Elliot Ness. It's Elliott Ness in the old days. But, you know, J.D.'s found billions and billions of dollars of fraud, and he's just starting, and he's really enjoying it, because they're stealing from the American touch. Thank you. Great job. And we will end no cash bail, and institute the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers, human traffickers, and murderers of our law enforcement heroes. And one way or the other, before or after, if it has to be after, I hope it's before,
Starting point is 02:52:30 November 3rd election, we will pass the Save America Act. Mandatory photo voter ID and proof of citizenship, a staple at every single election in every single state. You would need more than a driver's license, like a birth certificate or something as well. And we will enshrine in permanent law no men in women's sports and no transgender mutilization of your children. That's four. Utilize. And again, when I'm running, we get tremendous numbers of votes and people coming out and they vote, and then they vote for the senators and the congressmen and women and all.
Starting point is 02:53:26 But when I'm not running, it's a little different. So please, I ask you this as maybe more important even than the Trump dividend, please pretend that I'm running and get out and vote on November 3rd or sooner. Because in actuality, I really am running. We don't really know it, but we are. I mean, we're running together. We have to have Congress. We have to have the majorities.
Starting point is 02:53:59 If we don't have the majority, so much can be lost. It could destroy. They're so destructive these people. They have no heart. They're so destructive, and we have to make sure they don't have a chance to destroy our country. This is one of the most important elections of your lives, only superseded by our victories in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Three great victory. And I will see you tomorrow night where I will be closing out the first ever midterm
Starting point is 02:54:40 convention. This is incredible. And by the way, tomorrow night. I'm going to be here tomorrow night. I'm going to close it out. I'm going to say good, but I'm not doing a big deal like this. Because I don't have to say the same stuff twice. I gave you a lot of material. I don't have to do it twice. But I'm going to be here to say good night
Starting point is 02:55:01 to you. And I'm going to be just sort of getting up here and saying good luck. And we love you all. That's what I'm going to be saying tomorrow. I don't buy it. So, in 55 days, we will do well. But 250 years of American history absolutely demands. We will defend our nation's founding.
Starting point is 02:55:30 We will protect our Constitution, including our Great Second Amendment, which is always under siege. We will uphold the honor of our great heroes. We have great heroes. We will redeem the sacrifice of our ancestors. We will vanquish. America's enemies, we will raise high the torch of liberty that was handed to us and march forward into a future of hope, pride, opportunity, and freedom. On November 3rd, vote Republican for House and Senate, and with God's help, we will lead this nation to heights of glory and achievement, never seen before, even by our country at its best, because together we will move.
Starting point is 02:56:21 make America powerful again. Dangle that meat. We can smell it. We will make America wealthy again. Salivating. We will make America healthy again.
Starting point is 02:56:43 We will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again.
Starting point is 02:57:01 He will make America great. Bless you. God bless you all. Thank you. What a fucker, dude. He makes it fun. You know, he has a way of making it enjoyable just to get part of it.
Starting point is 02:57:25 I was bad. Like, I got bored. I'm not 100% on this guy. I love him. I hate him. I got it all. Compared to, like, Biden just stumbling through. Like, this guy's entertaining. Yeah. Give a shit in a way.
Starting point is 02:57:38 He's dancing. I don't think we're supposed to play that song. Holy crap. Guys, it's 11 o'clock already. He's going to speak again tomorrow. He's going to be short, though. He's going to do the exact same thing. It's not going to be sure.
Starting point is 02:57:51 He's going to run his mouth. He's going to pump the 5K. We can throw three minutes in for some Rumble Rants and Super Chats. Yeah, that 5K was, if that comes from printing, it's going to knock the value of 5K down to 4,700. Woot Doe says the worst financial situation of my life. I've never been more brown. broke as an adult. It's like I'm 17 again struggling to pay the power bill.
Starting point is 02:58:12 Yeah, you know, I know Trump is selling it. I mean, the economy's not good right now. He can sell it, but we can see just as a business and there's no reason to play games. He's got to end this around war to the best that he can, I suppose. Yeah, I wish he would renegotiate the conversation like that.
Starting point is 02:58:33 Like, it's bad, but it's going to get good. We're going to fix it. Yeah. Instead of just gaslighting us to think it's great. And again, politicians, they always equate the economy to the stock market. And for most people, when they're trying to pay their bill by gas, you know, it's not the same thing. Right. Stock market's up. It's not the same thing. We've got to nail the land and get the gas prices down.
Starting point is 02:58:52 I mean, that has to happen by November because that's what people are going to be looking at. That has to happen. Z.L. Willis says, per tradition, we welcomed our fourth child. One week ago, homebirth went great with mom and son doing well. Way to go with the home birth. Congratulations. Indeed. We can grab one more here.
Starting point is 02:59:09 Yeah. Coville says very effective sciop. Charlie is probably golfing with Lindsey Graham and Rush Limbaugh. Oh, gee. Rush Limbaugh would be very old today. My friend, smash the like button, share the show with everyone you know. You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast. This was fun sitting here for two hours listening to Trump talk.
Starting point is 02:59:27 He's a funny guy. You know, we got some laughs out of him. Trump is Trump. You know what I mean? I just, what I can't stand right now is how people just are angry all the time. It's like, you know who Trump is. You know what he's doing? You know what I recommend?
Starting point is 02:59:41 You ever see Galaxy Quest? Oh, yeah. Tim Allen? Yeah, and Tony Shalube. You got to be like Tony Shalup's character where they're like getting attacked. And he's just like, all right, I guess, you know? I don't know what else to do. We're on a spaceship.
Starting point is 02:59:54 I had that feeling when we were watching Trump. I was like, oh, pardon me. He was getting annoyed with him saying how great it was. And I'm like, you know what, Ian? You're like in a really good place in life. Just enjoy the ride, man. You don't have to get angry at lies and blow viable. like you can make the world a better place.
