The Dow Jones closed 422 points down and prices are way up across the board. Gas prices are up, rents up, airfares up. And so, of course, Donald Trump's taking this opportunity to go after
Starting point is 00:01:11 Joe Biden because, well, the Biden admin kept saying inflation's done, everything's great. Oh, I love that line. Transitory. Well, it's back, baby, and it's not going to be getting any better. I think this is having a huge impact on younger voters who are struggling to enter the workforce and adult life with prices so high. So we'll talk about that. Plus, man, Joe Biden's talking about talking out both sides of his mouth on Israel, saying that he wants to cease fire, that Netanyahu has made a big mistake and then going, but our commitment to defending them when they fight Iran is ironclad. Yeah, great. As if that means anything. We'll talk about that. Plus, in cultural news is a big story about this only fans woman who has found God and people are questioning whether it's a grift and she actually found God or she's just trying
Starting point is 00:01:55 to make money off people by pretending. I don't think it matters. I think these are people realizing degeneracy doesn't sell as well as virtue. So we'll talk about that before we get started. My friends head over to cast brewrew.com to buy coffee. It is the best coffee you'll ever have. Everyone loves Appalachian Nights. At least that's what I'm told by our sales department, which is probably just one person.
Starting point is 00:02:14 But we got a bunch of other blends. We got Rise of the Birdo Jr. It is a light breakfast blend. We got Stand Your Grounds. The Halloween limited edition re-Rise of Jr. because he died, is still available because we had 5,000 bags. So they print the bags, not the beans. And so they're still available, and once they're gone,
Starting point is 00:02:32 they're gone. So go to Casper.com, support our endeavors. All the money from Casper right now, it's just going into setting up these physical locations so we can create physical spaces where y'all can network. But the other thing I want to do is give a shout-out to Cellular Performance Institute. So you guys may be familiar.
Starting point is 00:02:49 This is where I went when I was having problems with my hip. And they do stem cells treatment. It was super awesome. And you might have seen them on Joe Rogan. Well, right now, Taylor Silverman is currently down getting treatment for a partial ACL tear. And it was really amazing. The, the group, the guys over at cellular performance to Institute got her in right away and they're going to be taking care of her ACL damage, which I believe based on everything we know, it's going to heal
Starting point is 00:03:17 it up way faster than traditional surgery would. So just shout out. We're eternally grateful for what they offer. And if you're, if you're dealing with soft tissue damage, like cartilage or whatever, this is not a sponsored spot, by the way. I'm just, you know, they're doing good work and they help us out. So I want to give them a shout out. If you're dealing with like soft tissue damage,
Starting point is 00:03:36 tears or whatever, give them a call and maybe they can help you. They're based out of, they're in Tijuana, just south of San Diego. So really, really grateful.

Starting point is 00:04:25 meeting all you guys and I really appreciate you letting me barge in like this. Yeah, it's a great name. What do you do? Who are you? My name is Tim Murtaugh. I'm a political consultant. I've been doing political campaigns for a long time and kind of got onto the national political scene in 2000, actually 2019. I was communications director for President Trump's reelection campaign in 2020. And I have been doing political consulting for candidates and private sector companies ever since then. And I am pushing my new book, which is right here, and it's on a shelf behind me, Swing Hard in Case You Hit It. It's my memoir, really, which sounds funny, because you probably hadn't heard of me before today. the it's it's half about my time uh in politics and largely the 2020 trump campaign but the other half of it is about my decades-long struggle with alcohol and the fact that i was a really really
Starting point is 00:05:18 low and desperate alcoholic and and uh an addict really because i was addicted to alcohol that was that was my drug of choice was alcohol and i woke up in jail one day in 2015 and less than four years later i was flying on air force one with president trump wow it's uh it's a story of my comeback and and how i got there and how i made it through it's not it's not really a how-to well it isn't it's not at all a how-to manual about how to get sober, but it's just my story. And I decided to write it. And thankfully, somebody agreed to publish it. And here I am talking to you guys. I really appreciate it. Swing hard in case you hit it.
Starting point is 00:05:55 It's called Swing Hard in Case You Hit It, My Escape from Addiction and Shot at Redemption on the Trump Campaign. And it's available now on amazon target walmart.com all the barnes and noble all the places where you get well should be fun thanks for hanging out we got hannah clare hanging out as well hey i'm hannah clare brimla i'm a writer for scnr.com that's scanner news i'm really happy to have you here tonight ian's here too hi everybody uh my dad's name's tim which doesn't mean a lot but a lot of tim's apparently a lot of that going around t-bone uh i'm ianland. Great to see you guys. Actor, entertainer, musician, all the above.
Starting point is 00:06:30 And I went for a great four and a half mile power walk this morning, man. What a way to get up. I cut caffeine out the last three, four days. And I just keep waking up at 830. I go to bed at two. I wake up at 830. Midnight, I get up at 830. I also want to just mention this.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I bought creatine. And I bought it from Onnit, which is Joe Rogan's thing. And then they do this thing. They spring it on you when you're buying it from on it, which is Joe Rogan's thing. And then they, they do this thing. They spring it on you when you're buying it. It's like, Hey, what about you're buying your alpha brain? Right.
Starting point is 00:06:50 And so I was like, sure, whatever. I don't, I don't even know what it is. And I bought a bunch. I've been doing an alpha brain every day. And then today when I was skating,
Starting point is 00:06:56 I, before I skated like 20 minutes before I actually took one of the alpha brains. Yeah, it worked. I don't, I don't even know what to say. I was like, I was in the zone.
Starting point is 00:07:03 I have been in the zone for like four days straight. thank you on it thank you tim thanks for buying as well good to see you tim good to see you i ran four miles today let's do most days but i didn't have any alpha brain i'm gonna try that out yeah like actually it was kind of bad because i was skating so well i didn't want to stop and my personal trainer was here but i was like i can't i have to we're filming we're getting this done i I'm getting everything. It was, it was, I don't know. Yeah. I'm walking. I'm like, I'm almost home, but I'm not done walking yet. That kind of mentality.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Yeah. We got search press in the buttons. Yo. Yeah. That on its stuff is really good. I like it as well. I've been taking it every day, but I'm drinking coffee right now. Get your cool, your Timcast coffee.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Anyway. Cheers. Let's go. Here's the, here's the story from CNN. I love this headline. Dow closes 422 points lower after a surprisingly bad inflation report. You know, I love that because I'm not surprised at all. I don't know if you are paying attention to all of the videos on TikTok from middle aged men who are and Gen Zers who are all saying, I can't afford to eat, then it sounds like you don't need the report to tell you the economy is bad.
Starting point is 00:08:11 So the general news is that the blue chip Dow closed 1.1% lower after U.S. consumer prices picked up again last month, vaulting to a 3.5% increase for the 12 months ending in March, according to the latest Consumer Price Index data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Now, I'm going to stop here because I don't need to read the news to tell good old American citizens who deal with this every single day. Like, you don't need an expert to be like, did you know your prices have gone up? You're like, yeah, I was at the grocery store the other day. I couldn't afford anything.
Starting point is 00:08:43 So I'll just throw it to our good friend, Donald Trump, who posted this. Since Biden took office, airfare is up 33%. Then we have more. Since Biden took office, gasoline up 48%. We have more? Yep. Since Biden took office, groceries are up 21%. And then we have this. Since Biden took office, rent is up 21%. Take a look at this tweet. Trump posted this on Truth Social. Inflation at the same point in Trump presidency. Under Biden, energy is up 38.8. Gasoline is up 47.8. Electricity is 29%.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Natural gas is 26%. Grocery is 21%. Eggs are up 49.3. Fine, I won't exaggerate. Milk's 15. Chicken's 23. Yo, this is crazy. Airfare's up 32 public transits
Starting point is 00:09:27 22 used cars 20 apparel is 13.5 well that's bydnomics hey first thing i think is like that's just a picture is it i mean and not that you have the answer but is it like is it this is like true is it documented somewhere where did the data come from fair point and the second thing is and a little bit of a side comment is i don't really personally blame either of these guys for the economy right now i feel like this has been a spiraling ball of goo and it's just been getting stickier and stickier and it's like inevitably they've been telling me you know every trillion you add on is going to make it a little bit harder to go backwards take a look at this response someone posted calling uh look they said now do corporate price gouging. It is absolutely insane that people are falling for that Biden narrative where he's like, you know, it's because the corporations says surprisingly low or surprisingly low. These guys are economists.
Starting point is 00:10:25 They are constantly taken by surprise by what they're supposed to be experts at. It happens all the time. Yeah, everybody knows economists are basically astrologists. Right. They just look at charts and then they put on their wizard caps and they go, and then it's completely shocking to them when the report comes out. I like when the Biden admin is like, actually, things are good. And the American consumers are like, is it because we're suffering so they're like no no
Starting point is 00:10:48 it's fine you're wrong it's let them eat cake yeah seriously the biden thing that they what they have to rely on is they have to try to convince people that what the people are living through and experiencing and seeing in their own daily lives is not actually happening in fact the opposite is true what you experience every day in your own life that's not really happening and they've been trying to convince people for like the last two months that no in fact the economy is awesome you have paul krugman in the new york times talking about how the war against inflation is over he declared victory it's over and at very little cost and then of course this happens you know inflation i do not feel like the biden
Starting point is 00:11:23 administration has conquered inflation no they have obviously have not and so in the media they're always like that john harwood is a retired nbc cnn guy not retired fired is more accurate um he sits around and says you know the biden's just not getting credit for how excellent the economy is and the economy is actually awesome it's just americans don't know it and then this news comes out and they are forced to report that inflation is still out of control and then they have to say well this was actually surprising do you think that it's surprising people because they're subsidizing gasoline and keeping prices of gasoline down well the gasoline would be even higher than it already is nine thirty yeah i'd be like 12 bucks the gas should be way higher joe biden drained the
Starting point is 00:12:02 the strategic petroleum reserve so that he could yeah artificially lower the price by dumping supply and then when he was supposed to restock our emergency supply which is for war and other emergencies he went not because it would have driven prices up and would have been substantially worse than it is now yeah i mean remember day one of the biden administration he signed all these executive orders and he did all these things and and a giant percentage of the every president does a lot of stuff on the first day. But a huge percentage of what Biden did on the first day was to attack fossil fuels, which, you know, like it or not, that's what this economy is based on. I mean, we were just talking about this before we
Starting point is 00:12:38 went on the air until there is a viable alternative that is widely available to, you know, 300 million consumers. F um fossil fuels is what we've got he declared war on it right away and what do you think is going to happen and now they play this game like you saw the response to this tweet where they're like it's corporate price gouging because billionaires want trump to win oh yeah because six billionaires because you got one billionaire's like i own all these companies raise the the prices. And no billionaires donate to Biden's campaign. Right. And that's not happening.
Starting point is 00:13:08 And then what happens when Biden gets in and Keystone, for example, he shuts down the Keystone pipeline. Day one. And then what you immediately get is the media going, did shutting down the Keystone pipeline increase the cost of gas? False. Because the Keystone wasn't actually transporting gasoline. And that's the lie. That's how they manipulate people because they know the average person doesn't understand the finer points in that. If you are, if you are an investor, if you work in the energy sector
Starting point is 00:13:38 and two things happen, one, you invest heavily. Your company invests heavily in the Keystone pipeline and ancillary projects, delivery dates, expectation of how much oil is available. things happen. One, you invest heavily. Your company invests heavily in the Keystone pipeline and ancillary projects, delivery dates, expectation of how much oil is available. And then Biden shuts it down. You have lost that money. Well, now they're going to try and recuperate it. So they're going to be raising prices to recover their losses. But then there's an even better one, a much simpler one. If you are projecting demand and in those projections you say here's how much oil will cost in a year with keystone we can increase supply stabilizing supply and demand prices will will remain stable and then biden goes cool it there uh chump i'm gonna shut it down then all
Starting point is 00:14:21 sudden the forecasters are like okay now in years, supply is going to go down because there's no Keystone delivery. Demand will increase. Prices will increase. And then you get speculative investors who buy a ton thinking the prices are going to go up and rightfully so. And that instantly drives prices up. All of that is on Joe Biden. And then the media comes out and lies to convince you it's not his fault. And this is not about Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:14:43 He's not the president. This is prices are up because of things Joe Biden did. He doesn't get the blame for literally every single thing that's more expensive, but he does take the blame for a lot of it. I think the biggest blame I put on the Biden administration in this is the aggressive attack on carbon-based fuel because it's, yeah, it produces dirty clouds
Starting point is 00:15:02 of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide. You can reuse that carbon, atmospheric carbon. I talk about a a lot on the show you can turn it into this stuff it's called graphene you may be familiar with black powder it's carbon pure carbon you get it out of the air and then you can use it for building material you can make electronics out of it it's like 21st century steel and that's all you got to do i figured it out tell me see what happened was the democrats used to watch this show and they got sick and tired of hearing ian talk about graphene and then we just just shut down the carbon dioxide we ain't doing this graphene thing anymore so what i'd really like to point people at is instead of worrying about not uh using it like feel keep using it
Starting point is 00:15:34 it's great stuff but let's just recollect the waste byproduct and reuse it i i think it's it's it's political suicide i don't understand well remember the timeline i mean when biden does all this and it's all you know under the guise of the green economy the green new deal by another name when he rolls out all these things he does his executive orders he kills the keystone excel pipeline he suspends the lease sales in alaska and other places in federally controlled land he absolutely attacks the fossil fuel uh the entire uh fossil fuel industry and brags about it and the left and the media they cheer him on and they give him all this credit. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:16:06 Oh my gosh, he's the greenest president ever. He's so wonderful. So protecting the environment down with fossil fuels, we're all against fossil fuels. And then when over time, uh, the price of gas rises,
Starting point is 00:16:17 the price of all fuels rise that feeds inflation, which is now inflicting the entire economy. Suddenly they forget about how the, this big flurry of events at the very beginning of the administration, how he attacked fossil fuels, which caused gas prices to immediately begin to climb. They forget that part.
Starting point is 00:16:32 It's like they championed him when he suspended all the Trump policies at the border and started doing things exactly the opposite of what Trump did regarding immigration. And then everybody said, yes, it's finally, we have somebody who treats everyone. No one, you know, people aren't illegal. There are no illegal, you know, the leftist mantra that they say.
Starting point is 00:16:50 And then when the border gets out of control, they forget that he overturned 97 Trump policies and they don't want to lay the blame on him when they cheered when he did to cause it. Right. They wanted the headlines. They wanted the buzzword, you know, environmental first, turning down Trump policies, whatever. They wanted those things. They did not think about the consequence of their actions. That's right.
Starting point is 00:17:09 They love the policy and the way that it sounds. It makes them feel like good people because they enact and support certain policies. They just, you know, I'll tell you what, the actual results of those policies are terribly inconvenient for them. And they don't want to handle that part. Like the idea of stopping producing, even if we couldn't recollect the carbon for instance stopping to burn the carbon if we were going to just stop burning carbon to save the environment well okay what if all now we can't fuel our aircraft and our tanks and our machines and our war machine anymore because we don't have fuel and then we get attacked invaded or there's a nuclear strike we'll annihilate the environment
Starting point is 00:17:41 like the the environment can be obliterated in many ways beyond just carbon. And if you take carbon out of the equation, there could be all these other ways that could end up obliterating the thing. So it's just a rushed, risky, stupid, feel good thing, I think, to stop. I think it just means it shows you who's in charge of the administration. It's the radical left. And they're the ones of Joe Biden himself never believed in any of these things in his 55 years in the Senate, however long he was there. But just right at the end of his political career, he's saying, this actually is very important to me.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Yeah. And he never believed all these things. So you can tell who's pulling the strings over there. I saw a video of him. Yeah, I think it was yesterday. And he was like, he's gone. It was the worst I've ever seen him. I remember when Joe Rogan on his show several months ago said, how could you vote for Biden?
Starting point is 00:18:24 The man is gone. And now you look at Biden then, today, it is an exponential collapse. And this is what I've heard about people who are sundowning or whatever they call it. It's like when you get old and you start to decline, the decline gets – it's gradually, then suddenly it's just falling off a cliff. And Biden's there that what i brought up with that protester yelling about health care and he's sitting there and his eyes are half closed all beating he's like everybody needs health care that was it it was like does he even know what's happening in the room right now i mean all the signs that they keep him so under wraps they protect him so much he's got everything scripted for him he's got
Starting point is 00:19:03 little cheat sheets who's going to add pictures of the reporters who's going to ask him a question what question is going to be asked you know i mean they get they use the little stairs now for him to get on the plane so he doesn't trip up the big steps i mean everything everything and then it used to be now it's a it's a little bit more out in the open but it used to be if you questioned the guy's acuity you know you were you know hounded out of polite society. You can't question it. There's nothing wrong with him. He had a stutter.
Starting point is 00:19:28 How dare you? Right. Blame it all on the stutter. My. I get you want to rally around your leader and support your leader. Okay. But we also want to elect a leader now and a good one. So let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:19:38 And I just had this conversation with a friend who's, you know, she, she would identify as a Democrat, but she was raised in a very libertarian household. And she was like, well, look, I'm going to vote for Joe Biden, but I don't want to. I'm just never going to vote for Trump. But like, he's not popular. People know that he's weak. He does not encourage or inspire young voters, but he's there. And so the party kind of has to follow him. That's the impression I have. I think I think money talks. And I think
Starting point is 00:20:03 what's happening now for a lot of Gen Z, we're seeing this polling shift numerous polls oh and i love how how uh these progressives online are are just losing their minds over it like it's one ball it's one it's like there's like seven yeah showing gen z shifting and i think it's really simple you go to a bunch of kids who are in college right and they're living off student loans and you say to them like orange man is bad and they go hey whatever i gotta say to fit in and then they graduate college and they're paying rent and they go hey orange man bad go dude i can't afford rent right now i don't want to hear it and then they're going to come to them and they're going to say if you you wouldn't vote for trump would you because then you're on the wrong side of history they're going to go i got
Starting point is 00:20:41 to be honest i don't care what side of history i'm on, as long as it pays the bills. Yeah. And they were, I watched Morgan McMichael. She's working with Turning Point and was interviewing college students about their college debt and their loans. And like some of these loans, like $250,000, $180,000, I had like $20,000. And I thought that was a lot. And it took me, I, you know, it's a low interest loan. So I put it, the lowest priority of loans to pay back. I just paid the minimum or deferred or whatever, but a hundred, $200,000 in this environment on top of living expenses. Trump should come out first.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Trump should come out in favor of student loan forgiveness done the right way. He should say, which Joe Biden is trying to do with student loan forgiveness is unconstitutional. And it is an attempt at buying votes. That being said, we cannot have the next generation to inherit this country be settled with debt to the point where they can't own a house
Starting point is 00:21:30 they can't buy a car they can't have a family and they can't have kids so the appropriate solution is first you've got to stop the corrupt system the predatory student loan system once that's done i think it's fair to say you suspend interest rates on existing student loan debt if you were given money you got to pay it back but we could at least freeze the interest rates completely. And so that will alleviate the major problem at hand, which is someone takes out a $50,000 loan and then they end up paying back $500,000 over 20 years. Right. Every time I see a headline, that's like Joe Biden's going to forgive student loan debt. I keep thinking, okay, that's great, but why don't you stop the system, right? Why do we keep issuing federally backed student loans for students who can't declare bankruptcy
Starting point is 00:22:09 off them, sending them into adulthood just in debt from the beginning with this economy? Joe Biden doesn't care about you unless he is also stopping the problem at its source, issuing student loans that are backed by the federal government. So they're allowing these companies to issue loans at interest, and then they're printing money to pay back those companies? It doesn't make any sense, right? That's insane. And it means that people who have debt, maybe we're on the hopes, like it's like a terrible relationship, right? Like maybe Joe Biden will forgive my debt, but also everyone else is taking on loans that will not get forgiven or maybe they'll get forgiven.
Starting point is 00:22:41 We don't even know. It's a system that is still existing and he's pretending to create it uh solve it with these band-aid solutions i don't want to oversimplify it but didn't didn't the the real explosion in college costs and then and therefore the the problem that a lot of people have with student loans it can be traced back and i want to say it's the only cause but when the federal government like you just said when the federal government began to backstop the student loans and guarantee it then that then you know that's free money that the colleges are playing with it's taxpayer money the college is no incentive no incentive to keep right
Starting point is 00:23:09 no incentive and that's when the tuition skyrocketing i mean if you look at what like a regular old liberal arts college costs now i'm not talking about you know not the harvard or something but a respectable liberal arts four-year college you're you know it's approaching a hundred thousand dollars a year just for an undergraduate it's communism tell me more communism that's all you got to do is say communism and that's how we exemplify or that's how we we simplify all problems anything we're mad about is we just call it communism or i like to say it's climate change and also or climate change that's right uh i would have paid back my student loan debt but climate change but no but it caused the earthquake.
Starting point is 00:23:45 In all seriousness, when the government tells universities, we're going to cover the debts, then you basically have government. It is a socialist endeavor at funding institutionalized learning facilities. And whether it's intentional or not i think communists being much more subversive than the average american realized whoa whoa whoa this is a guaranteed path towards indoctrinating young people whether it was intentionally done for that reason that is the the the outcome that that's what we're seeing right now and i i'm somewhat half joking when i say communists but it is this marxist root ideology That's where a lot of them are. Postmodernism. College campuses.
Starting point is 00:24:26 What drives me nuts is the politics of it. And I saw a tweet from the White House about this just yesterday when they're talking about there was a congressman whose name escapes me, but he was critical. He was critical of the student loan forgiveness, loan forgiveness, unconstitutional stuff. And these people took out the money. They should they owe it. They should pay it back. No one. No one's going to forgive your car loan, right?
Starting point is 00:24:45 That's generally how the argument goes. And the White House tweeted at him and said, this congressman owns a family business and he had a PPP loan, which was the COVID loan program, because that loaned businesses money so they could continue to pay their employees, and then those loans were forgiven and they didn't have to pay the money back. So they pointed out that this guy, who was critical of the student loan forgiveness had gotten a PPP loan of some hundred thousand dollars or something. And it was forgiven.
Starting point is 00:25:12 And therefore, he's a hypocrite. That's the way the political argument goes, which is crap because the PPP program was set up because the government required businesses to follow the COVID restrictions. They were shutting places down. They were not letting people eat inside restaurants, all kinds of stuff. Places were closing left and right. The economy would have been far worse than it ever was without that PPP loan program. And the loan forgiveness, as long as you use the money to pay employee salaries, the forgiveness was built into the program. It was planned to be that way because it was a response to the government forcing businesses to act a certain way it's not the same as forgiving student debt it's a completely
Starting point is 00:25:51 dishonest political hack job that the biden white house is doing and the blasted media just goes along with it i just want to give a quick shout out to with the the market taking the hit that it did bitcoin went up so you know for everybody who's betting on the us dollar not doing so well bitcoins at 70 606 and i'm wondering at what point they're gonna have to adjust the way they track bitcoin from whole bitcoins to like tenths of bitcoins or the i think satoshi's yeah satoshi's like you know if we get to the pure the point where so for those that don't know a satoshi is the smallest increment of a bit of a bitcoin so a bitcoin has eight decimal points behind it if you get to the point where uh one a sat they call it is worth
Starting point is 00:26:36 at least a penny there's gonna be a lot of very very powerful there's gonna be a lot of billionaires yeah i think there are a lot of bitcoin billionaires that are not on the radar oh dude that are ready to create a new society it's the craziest thing when i meet someone especially like at uh at like one of the poker rooms or whatever you go to dc and there's some dude who's like 30 and you're wondering how he has this fanny pack with like a hundred thousand dollars in it and then they passively mention like i bought Bitcoin in 2011. And I'm like, so you never worked a day in your life. Is that what you're telling me?
Starting point is 00:27:08 Like teenage kid found Bitcoin, bought 500 coins or whatever. And now he's just chilling. Luckiest bet ever placed, right? Yeah. I don't understand. I'm not gonna sound like an idiot here, but I don't understand the whole process
Starting point is 00:27:21 of mining Bitcoins. How you can tell these computers to do a series of endless mathematical uh calculations and somehow it creates bitcoins that are now worth i don't i don't understand it's uh it's it's solving uh an equation and then it gets harder and harder to do and they're all competing for it and they get uh they're blocks they get released and uh when's the happening? April something. April 24. Oh,
Starting point is 00:27:46 it's the only one here who doesn't have, I have no idea what happened, but I'm excited. I'll simplify it for you. You basically, I think they use GPUs for the most part for this. Cause they, for the processing power and you're trying to solve complex equations.
Starting point is 00:27:58 It's an artificial problem to create scarcity, which requires, uh, converting energy into problem solving, which then you earn fragment you know fragments of bitcoin so you make money and so the the price of bitcoin is basically reflecting the energy costs of producing the bitcoin so it's effectively backed by the energy to produce it the halving is when the rewards for mining get cut in half and it happens i think
Starting point is 00:28:22 every two years something like that oh maybe it's either two or four yeah you're right uh i'm looking for the actual date because it keeps growing and then so they have to cut it in half yeah it's like a stock split more or less i don't know um what i can tell you is that there's only ever going to be 21 million bitcoin but it gets harder and harder to produce so actual so right now something like 19 million have been made but in order to actually produce the last bits, it's going to take like 100 years. So it gets harder and harder to do. But if the price of it right now is 70K and the rewards are going to get cut in half, it's not financial advice.
Starting point is 00:28:54 But let me tell you, before we move on to the next segment, if somebody runs a mining operation in China and they spent $10 million, $50 million setting it up, and it's costing them right now $70,000 in energy costs to produce one Bitcoin. When the halvening happens, it's going to then cost them $140,000 to produce one Bitcoin. And that means they cannot sell the product they produce unless it's for more than $140,000. So what we usually see then is the miners hold onto it, basically backlogging supply while demand keeps happening,
Starting point is 00:29:32 especially with El Salvador. And then eventually the price is forced upward as the people who are mining are like, I can't sell it for less. It's got to go up higher. Then you'll get some institutional investment as the product expands. Then the price booms and the miners start selling it off and that's when it so uh you know max
Starting point is 00:29:48 kaiser is saying based on all this stuff he's projecting like 220 000 per coin coming up soon that's gonna be may 2024 is anticipated i don't know if there's an official day they may have it not public today and i could see like so people are buying it looks like people are buying out anticipation of the happening when they expect the price to explode it's not gonna double it's not it's not just that it's the etfs and the etfs so i i bought into an etf and it's paying dividends like crazy i can't believe it so i don't i'm not here to do a bitcoin thing i was just going to mention that's like when you instead of buying the bitcoin you buy the etf of the bitcoin that gets traded someone else is holding your bitcoin so technically you don't own it but people are just trading your your etf
Starting point is 00:30:24 around or the i think that's how you get paid dividends and the dividends are the best dividends i've gotten on anything it's crazy and you know more i could be mis miscommunicating when etf is but i think i don't know you don't actually hold the bitcoin you gotta talk to a financial advisor but i've got my crypto let's move on and we'll talk about world war three because you know that's happening we have this from the guardian i love this netanyahu making a mistake on gaza says biden as he urges israel to push for ceasefire he actually biden actually said he wants a six to eight week ceasefire pissing everybody off because the left doesn't like him no matter what he does and now you got people on the right being like they're still american hostages in israel and then here's my favorite part then today, Biden vows ironclad U.S. commitment to
Starting point is 00:31:06 Israel amid fears of Iran attack. We have no president. No, you cannot call this man. Look, he wants to win votes from progressives. So he comes out and goes, oh, you know what Israel is doing is wrong, but we will defend them no matter what. His words, meaningless, completely. Iran said they'll attack Israel. Iran said they'll attack Israel. Israel said they'll attack Iran. And then Biden says, no matter what happens, we'll defend Israel. So when he says Israel is doing bad in Gaza, Israel is like, what do we care? No matter what we do, you will defend us.
Starting point is 00:31:35 So have a nice day. It's just duplicitous garbage. And we're going to find ourselves entangled in this conflict. We are entangled. It's it's terrible fence sitting on the Biden administration. They're trying to win every side of their party because the Democratic base, I think, has been really split over the Gaza, Hamas, Israel issue. And I just think Biden will suffer in the polls because of it. He can't try to appease every side of his argument. And if he's committed to Israel, then he's kind of effectively picked aside for a lot of his voters perspective.
Starting point is 00:32:06 I do want to give a shout out to Donald Trump for his statement about this. He said, well, let me just play it for you. So, you know, here you go. Any Jewish person that votes for a Democrat or votes for Biden should have their head examined. It's nothing to do with Jewish people, man. That's the problem. You've got to not complain about the state of Israel with Judaism. That's what Hitler did. You know, it's not about Judaism. jewish people man that's the problem you gotta not complain for state of israel with judaism it's that's what hitler did you know it's not about judaism it's not about jewish people it's about the state of israel and what it's doing yeah well this is
Starting point is 00:32:31 the opposite of what hitler did hitler would talk a lot about how well it was before it was like it was before israel was formed but he would talk about so hitler didn't do this because there was no when at that point when was is Israel formed? 1949, I think. Was that when it was? Yeah. 48? 48. Trump has been saying things like this for quite some time because of what Joe Biden and the Democrats represent. And perhaps, toward me, I would have put it a bit more eloquently than you should get
Starting point is 00:32:59 your head examined. Would you have used the Joe Biden paraphrase and say, if you're... If you don't vote for me, you're not Jewish? I feel like that would have been the worst. To me, that's a lot like what, and Trump caught a lot of hell for this too, but I think it was at a rally when he was talking about black voters, saying, you know, as a group, you've been voting for Democrats for decades. You know, give me a try. What the hell do you have to lose? I mean, to me, it's very similar to that.
Starting point is 00:33:24 I do think Trump is a funny guy. He's very he's real funny he's a funny guy you see him at the restaurant buying 30 milkshakes yeah everybody was like y'all gonna get rich people want to hear that if you look at the question that restaurant people are hugging him everyone's really excited to see him i i just don't see this energy at any public appearance that Joe Biden makes, you know, like he doesn't have the charisma to compete on this level with Trump. Trump is the popular vote for a reason. He's literally popular. Yeah. Then this thing that like when you were talking about Gen Z voters and talking about how they can't afford rent and things like that. Now, this to me, this campaign shakes up the 2024 campaign. It's set up really
Starting point is 00:34:05 perfectly for Donald Trump because now voters have the benefit of being able to compare the two presidencies side by side. And it really is a true rematch. We had Trump as president for four years. We're going to be, we're near the end of the four years of Biden. And you can see by comparison, and to me, I think that, you know, side by side by side trump wins easily now that doesn't mean he's going to win the election easily i think it's going to end up being really really tight just like 2016 and 2020 it's going to be like three states with the two of them separated by 10 20 000 votes in each state and it'll it's basically a coin flip in those three states who who's going to win and that's seven months from now so who knows but it is really set up
Starting point is 00:34:43 really well for Donald Trump. Yeah, but there's probably some kind of shadow campaign, if you know what I mean. Well, look, in 2020, I remember we were at a rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, in December of 2019. It was a week before Christmas and it was we were at a rally there. And at the same exact moment back in Washington, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats were impeaching Trump for the first time. And we thought at that time, I mean, this is going to be the dominant issue of the whole campaign. This impeachment stood to reason. Right. He got impeached by the House. It's going to be a lasting campaign issue. Well, you know, I mean, that we didn't know anything about covid or anything else.
Starting point is 00:35:19 So God knows what's going to happen in the next seven months. What we see today is not the way the race ends up. No way. And we just we don't know what's going to happen in the next seven months. What we see today is not the way the race ends up. No way. And we just, we don't know what's going to happen. I feel like the social security numbers, we brought this up like night after night. I do not want to beat a dead horse on this. You may not be familiar with it though. And I know the audience is almost by now.
Starting point is 00:35:34 So I'll just ask, have you seen the social security verification numbers that show hundreds of thousands of people without IDs trying to register in various states? No, I have not seen that. So it's a big story the past couple of weeks. There's something called the Help America Vote Verification. When someone tries to register in various states? No, I've not seen that. So it's a big story the past couple of weeks. There's something called the Help America Vote Verification. When someone tries to register to vote without an ID, they have to use their social. It gets sent to the
Starting point is 00:35:52 SSA, who then verifies if the person is alive or dead or even exists in their records. And Texas is registering something like 200,000 every two weeks. Texas denied this saying, no, we haven't done this, but the Social Security Administration is reporting they did. Missouri, on February 17th, had 23,000 deceased people, according to the SSA, try to register to vote without IDs.
Starting point is 00:36:13 And for reference- Where has this been? I haven't heard anything about this. In Missouri, 80,000 people were attempted registration. 25,000 of them were dead. That's a third of them. What in the hell is going on?
Starting point is 00:36:24 Look at these numbers. This is like- So where are you getting this from? The socialsecurityssa.gov. Really? of them were dead that's a third of them what in the hell is going on look at these numbers this is like so where are you getting this from the social security ssa.gov really this is the social security administration uh administration website and it's something called help america vote verification and they say uh havv is for uh states to submit only new voters who do not present a valid license during the voter registration process. February 17th is one of the most suspect weeks because Missouri registered, I shouldn't say
Starting point is 00:36:53 the word registered because what I mean to say is they noted 78,000 registrations with no IDs, 23,000 were deceased. And this is single match deceased. These are registrations that came back, matched in their database as a dead person. And now Texas has said... So were these rejected? No, they don't reject. What they do is they
Starting point is 00:37:15 so, let's say you're in Missouri. You register to vote. Then the state says this person did not have an ID. Can we get the SSA to verify this is a real person? The SSA then says, you are alive, you are dead, or you're not in our database. And so they told Missouri, yes, 23,000 of the people who submitted are dead. Here's your, thank you and have a nice day.
Starting point is 00:37:37 And then it's up to Missouri to do it. Texas issued a statement, Secretary of State denying that they actually registered this many people. They're like, wait, what are you talking about? I don't know. It must be a wrong number. And I'm like, hey, all I'm going to say is this. Maybe it's the Social Security Administration is broken. Because we can check the numbers for every week.
Starting point is 00:37:58 And Texas has been consistently in 100,000, 200,000. If come November, Texas goes goes democrat don't be surprised i think well you know they've been count they've been saying they're going to win texas every election for the last like 10 elections so i mean do you think this has something to do with illegal aliens or yes i do i don't you don't think so you don't some of it maybe i'll tell you why uh you can see here on the website total non--matches, interesting number. In this, let's go to Texas, there were 36,000 non-matches. That means out of 219,000 registrations, 36,000 did not get a proper social security number. I'm sure some of them could be incorrectly filled out forms.
Starting point is 00:38:40 That number says to me, yeah, it seems like there's a lot of non-citizens trying to register to vote and they're using fake information. Who knows necessarily? We don't know for sure. But I think when you look at Pennsylvania, Texas, and the total people who are being registered with that IDs, I think it's more indicative of somebody who has access to DMV records and voter registration records, cross-references them, removing all that appear on both and then finding all of the uh dmv all the people who are listed on the dmv uh registration or drivers who are registered with the dmv or mva
Starting point is 00:39:13 who have not registered to vote they can then register on on those people's behalf without them knowing to bunk addresses where they can then get the universal mail and vote or do something like that so are some of these states like I can see from across here, Virginia looks like it's in single digits. Yeah, let's go to the week ending in March 30th. So this is the most recent data they have. So I wonder if some of these- New Mexico is zero.
Starting point is 00:39:35 New Hampshire is zero. You've got Mississippi 36. You've got Maryland 2,619. I mean, these numbers could make sense. Arizona 25,000 seems kind of odd. I wonder if you see these big numbers spike. Like, that's a five-digit number, right? Arizona is a key battleground state.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Sure is. I don't know anything about this. You do. You go back the months and look at Texas, and it slowly goes down 150,000. Then it goes back up. It's 80,000. A year ago, it's 200,000. It's really interesting.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I should say, I think it has to do with the illegal immigration that they're going to be trying to register people that aren't citizens but i have no evidence it's just a thought and it's a correlation that there's this illegal immigration it could be to be fair that joe biden is the lich king and so he has the undead vote and trump trump hasn't trump hasn't worked very hard to get the the undead vote so they will rise again he hasn't spent a lot of time campaigning for it to be fair i think Trump needs a necromancer on his campaign. He's going to need to do a tour of the underworld. I'll go.
Starting point is 00:40:30 I mean, Biden is so close. He can see through the veil, you know what I mean? If you went with Donald Trump, you'd have a good time. To the hollow earth? I promise you. I'm into it. Meet all the zombies. That would be one of the greatest comedy movies of all time. To the hollow earth. Journey to the center of hollow earth with Donald Trump. Yeah, that'd be badass, dude. Incredible. you see the wind blowing in my hairs we're like
Starting point is 00:40:48 flying on some magical donkey like through this giant cavern yeah i was picturing more story kind of yeah that's what i was thinking but i just said donkey first word that came out yeah uh i think joe biden is old, he actually can see through the veil and communicate with the dead, and that's why he's... He's doing well with them. Yeah, he's doing well. He does look like the head knight.
Starting point is 00:41:11 Well, now I forget. It's been so long since I watched Game of Thrones, but the White Walkers. Oh, yeah, the White Walkers. He looked like the head guy. He's a little sunken in there a little bit now. I feel like he has no chance of winning because his own base doesn't want him.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Then there's RFK. I just don't see a libertarian if he does is he officially with the libertarian party now rfk no no he's not he's running just independent looking for a lot of money he's like half a million he needs to get on all the ballots but he's going to take i mean his charisma is going to take votes away from a lot of them from the democrats that are really not happy with biden prediction about how rfk affects the election i think he's got to hurt biden more than he takes any republican votes i think if if um i'm sure the rnc and the trump campaign will be
Starting point is 00:41:52 doing this but i mean if you look issue by issue there are certain things that i think would lead republicans to maybe flirt with rfk as a candidate uh but he's he's an environmental radical extremist he he is he's like aoc on the green new deal right and i i gotta i mean any if any republican or any conservative or any libertarian finds out about that that has got to be a deal ender for flirting with rfk as a candidate in my mind i mean the green new deal it would it would just devastate everything that we know about the our economy and the world economy. It would be absolutely devastating to throw us into that overnight. And he's that guy.
Starting point is 00:42:30 What are some of the worst aspects of the Green New Deal? Because I'm not super familiar with it. Well, it attacks. First of all, when this was all being debated, I was working in the Trump administration. I was the communications director for Sonny Perdue, who was the secretary of agriculture and one of the chief enemies. There's lots of enemies, fossil fuel industry. First of all, they want, they want to, uh, they want to get to net zero carbon emission. And that means the death, the absolute death, not a phasing out, but like a, or not a, not a gradual reduction, but like the death penalty. Closure on fossil fuels.
Starting point is 00:43:05 It would be economically devastating. Also, they hate agriculture. And every time they get caught in one of the things that they're attacking, they try to backpedal and deny it. Like AOC and her staff accidentally, this was a big story at the time, accidentally put up a version of the Green New Deal on AOC's website that had some stuff in it that they probably meant to take out, like getting rid of and eliminating cows, for example. They're anti-cow? Yes, they're actually anti-cow.
Starting point is 00:43:36 And actually, what was embarrassing, the reason why they got embarrassed is because the document they put on her website actually contained the phrase cow farts. Oh, yeah. Do you remember this? Because of the methane. And then they say, no, no, say no no no no no and then the whole thing republicans said oh they're coming for your hamburgers and play and they were they yeah and planes they want to get that of
Starting point is 00:43:54 course you know they don't want you to fly anywhere um and they're gonna they're going to they they think that agriculture is one of the great scourges of the growing food out of the earth is a problem for them yeah i just watched a video a video with Dave Asprey on Tom Bilyeu's channel from a year ago, but they were talking about regenerative agriculture at one point and about having animals on your farm and the importance of it, because what they're doing, talking about vegan food and like the vegan meats and things where they want to use glyphosate and strip the soil. They don't want any animals there. They want to kill. It actually ends up killing off bacteria. Okay. I just watched this video watched this paralyzes the worms yeah i just watched this video of a girl saying you know i was i was vegan
Starting point is 00:44:28 as a kid i started as vegetarian because i i care about animals then i became a vegan because that seemed better and but then i became concerned because of the sustainability because a lot of uh vegan produced products are actually very uh you know heavy on the environment yeah and then so she's like so i guess I should just die. Like this was her conclusion that she just had no future. Because again, this fear tactic that comes with a lot of environmental messaging
Starting point is 00:44:53 ultimately drives people to say, how do you want me to stay alive? What do you want from me? You don't want me to be able to grow food? It comes, I think, organically, like really humanely treated cows is really what it comes down to. The milk and the meat you get from, and the hides you get from a really well-treated cow is like indefinably valuable to the human race.
Starting point is 00:45:12 And what happens is the waste that they produce and dump on the ground, fertilizes, re-fertilizes it. Without those animals, they just end up destroying the earth to make this, get this vegan, get this vegetables up. It kills all, it paralyzes the worms, which make the soil, which make healthy stuff for the plants. Then the plants start to die. And so you need the animals to re-fertilize. So you've got to keep the animals in the food supply, in the food chain. But I understand the danger of industrial agriculture.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Sure. And everybody has seen examples of how anything to excess can be bad, anything. But I mean, I don't think that american u.s agriculture is the enemy of all humanity i really don't but and at the bottom of it at the core of the environmental message is a hatred of humans they blame humans for everything i mean honestly we we are the obviously the dominant species on this planet and they wish it were not so. They really do.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Yeah. Do you think the average voter really understands what they're saying when they're advocating for? Well, they lie and conceal it. Right. And when Joe Biden made environmental policy a huge part of his platform, do you think voters really understood what that was asking for? Or were they just like, yay, we're so good the environment i mean some of them probably do but i think i think a lot of people are gravitate towards political ideas that help them feel like a good person yeah you know and i think that's what and this is another example of i think do you think joe biden the
Starting point is 00:46:39 senator from delaware ever gave a rip about all these far left environmental ideas? No, it's because he's, he, he, in order to be able to get where he's at right now, he had to bow to all of the things. That's why he opened the border. That's why he's,
Starting point is 00:46:54 he's attacked all the fossil fuel industries. It's, I mean, he's not in charge of that administration. He just isn't. Those have never been his policies. Never. So it's AOC.
Starting point is 00:47:04 She's the real president. And people like her. Yeah yeah i think she could uh i think she'll end up i wonder if she'll end up as like a speaker position or if she'll actually be a prominent front runner for the democrats in the future maybe you know if it were up to people you know the public she might have some appeal in there i think the other members of Congress don't like her. Yeah. You know, I don't think they take her seriously. Yeah. I really don't. Why, why is that?
Starting point is 00:47:30 She's obviously, you know, she's a, she's a show off. She's a showboat. She says stuff to get attention all the time. She looks silly all the time. You know, I think there are, I, this, maybe this is a, an unpopular opinion, but there are members of Congress who are quite serious people and are big on policy and are big thinkers. There are. And there are some who are clowns. And AOC is one of those. Right. Didn't she like immediately ask for a pay raise as soon as she started? I don't remember that. Well, there was there was an effort by Congress to increase their
Starting point is 00:47:58 pay and she was on board with it. Yeah. I just remember someone being like, you just got here. You haven't done anything. Right. Like there was a level of celebrity that came with her candidacy, which she has leveraged well, right? She has a huge following on social media. She does have a lot of influence over young progressive voters. But I could imagine that, you know, in Congress, she's not everyone's favorite to work with. No, I wouldn't think so. I guess you go, when you're running for president, it doesn't matter. You're out of Congress, you just don't even worry about Congress. I'd love to meet her because I think she's really popular and hasn't developed the restraint yet. Like you were saying, she says too much sometimes and sounds like a fool. I've been there, Alex, I know, and surrounds herself with a bunch of really good scientists
Starting point is 00:48:39 that truly understand 21st century technology, that we could make a better world, that we could reuse the carbon, that we could create a hydrogen-based fuel economy. Get her involved in those really creative, progressive. That's the way to progress is towards sustainability in that venue. I think she could be a really valuable asset to the United States and the world. Yeah, it is interesting because what I'm thinking of now is when she went to the Met Gala in that dress that said, tax the. And there were all kinds of she got there was an ethics inquiry into it because was she gifted this dress?
Starting point is 00:49:10 What are the tickets? Things like that. But really, she wore a dress as a slogan that was to catch the attention of her voters. And I think maybe you can answer this better than I can because you've worked on campaigns and you've worked in politics for so long. But I think there are some people who inspire attention. They have a charisma that draws people to them. But it doesn't guarantee that they know what policy should be advocated for right the staffing around a candidate is really important certainly yeah um there i think in the case of i mean i don't know how to psychoanalyze aoc from afar i've never i don't know i've never but just generally yeah i mean generally speaking sure there are some candidates who are she is very charismatic she's great you know she's she's
Starting point is 00:49:49 perfect for this tiktok age she's really good at that she looks good on camera she's obviously very attractive i don't think she's stupid i think she talks a lot about stuff that she doesn't know an awful lot about that doesn't make her dumb that makes her a little bit too aggressive in getting into areas where maybe she's not really that familiar with the policy or whatever like ignorant ignorance you would call it sometimes yeah in dnd if you play you know there's charisma and then there's intelligence they're different and then there's wisdom which is another thing and some people are very charismatic they're not very intelligent some people are intelligent with no wisdom or
Starting point is 00:50:21 very low they don't understand they know that they know that if you know if this continues then that will happen but they don't understand. They know that if this continues, then that will happen, but they don't realize that outside, about the outside, that's the wisdom. And then they have ortho. I'll simplify it for you.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit and wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad. That's true. Right. And then charisma is just getting everyone
Starting point is 00:50:40 to eat it no matter what. There are people who are so well-versed in all kinds of issues. They could give you in detail really great plans but you couldn't put them in front of a rally and have them really get people cheering for this, right? Right. But you
Starting point is 00:50:52 could, for the right crowd, people will go nuts for AOC. Right. You know, you put her in front of the right audience and they'll love it. They'll eat it up because she knows how to sell it. She knows how to, when she's comfortable with the talking points, she's really, really, really good. I would never call her stupid. She's an excellent politician.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Midwit, perhaps. You can have high charisma and low intelligence. Yeah, yeah. I bet the media warps her a lot and catches stuff out of context. Well, she would. They would. Midwit doesn't mean stupid. It means slightly above average intelligence.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Okay, sure. Yeah, I buy that. Like a 12 intelligence. But if she, listen, if she were a Republican and doing the things that she does, she, her reputation, her national reputation would be in tatters, but the media lays off her.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Right. You're right. They won't skewer her. They won't fact check her. PolitiFact doesn't attack her. Like they would attack a Marjorie Taylor green or somebody like that because she gets protection because of the D next to her name. Does that mean,
Starting point is 00:51:44 sorry, go ahead. Oh no, I was going to change stories. did you want to say something i was just gonna ask if you felt like the that media protection helps younger democrats but we can always talk about that later well i want to jump to the story from the new york post because this was going viral on social media u.s navy warship commander mocked for holding rifle with scope mounted backwards. There it is. It was rough.
Starting point is 00:52:05 It was not good. Okay. So he's got the scope on backwards. Apparently the cap is still on it. And as an aside, many people are pointing out he's doing what's called chicken wing. Other people mentioned, why is there a hand on his shoulder?
Starting point is 00:52:21 Like, what is this? And some people are saying like, how did this improperly mounted scope even get out of the armory how how and his fingers on the trigger he's he's firing in the photo there's shell casings but this is um massively embarrassing is that ai picture no no it's a real and they put it up on instagram and then deleted it yeah and some people were like it was marketing. They wanted you to talk about the Navy.
Starting point is 00:52:47 I'm like, no, the Navy can't recruit when everyone thinks they're morons. Maybe it is marketing. Like you put a, put a misspelling in the title of a video. All of a sudden, you misspelled the comments go up. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:57 The Navy needs to recruit people. So they need to appear competent and bad-ass because you're talking about, this is combat. Like here's a guy with a gun now you're gonna get some young person who's gonna be like so they they made a huge mistake that could get you killed i don't want to stand next to that guy right terrible advice it's not inspiring it's not gonna people make people be like yes i will join the navy did they come up with an explanation for how this happened i don't think they said anything I think they just deleted it and then shut up.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Hmm. Yeah. So what was, is the article like, hey, look at this weird photo from a Navy? No, they deleted it. Was it an official Navy post? So those shell casings, we assume that those shell casings are flying because he's the one firing the rounds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Okay. Maybe that hand on his shoulder is saying, hey, buddy, your scope's backwards. Someone, someone, but the caps on it, it's like, I think they were thinking they would do like a prop photo, not realizing that people would call them out for the prop photo. A lot of people were calling out for the chicken wing, which is when you hold the weapon with your arm out. And a lot of people say it doesn't matter. It's considered improper because you will get shot in the arm. And so you keep it down and close to your chest or whatever. But other than that, it's just, look, man, we're having a hard enough time with recruiting them
Starting point is 00:54:14 with recruitment. We've got the U.S. shifting its purchasing of weapons for Pacific theater away from desert Middle Eastern stuff. So it's's clear that the u.s is taking seriously the threat of china and taiwan and we really need people in the navy especially if we're looking at like a world war three scenario we've got the houthi rebels bombing cargo ships and all that stuff and this is not confidence building no so i'm just gonna say this man they are doing everything in their power to destroy this country and this is a systemic problem right that means that everybody on this boat who was here for the photo shoot was like, looks good, man. Have a good time.
Starting point is 00:54:48 This guy who held the gun. Then everyone who was like, here's the photo. Okay, social media team, here you go. Like many people who have joined the Navy, who theoretically must have been trained in some sort of arms, like carrying abilities, saw this photo and said, looks good. Like that's not good. I think maybe
Starting point is 00:55:05 being kind it may just be that they they took 150 photos and they dumped them to some instagram intern who was like this one looks good the intern at the navy who theoretically would have also been trained how to hold a weapon the intern's probably in the name i'm wondering if like caught this i'm wondering if he didn't really even fire the gun they just threw some casings in the air that's what i think too. That could be. Yeah. That could be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:26 Wouldn't you, I mean, again, I'm going to talk about something I don't know very much about. Wouldn't you, looking in the scope, facing the wrong way, wouldn't you notice immediately? Yes. Well, apparently the cap's still on, so. The cap is still on too? You would see nothing. Which, that makes me hope he is not firing, yes?
Starting point is 00:55:41 Like, this guy is firing a gun and he can't see through the scope? And this is our Navy? Well. Yeah, he just picked it up for a photo i bet that's a photo op right yeah he's commander too commander of a u.s navy warship really yeah look at that i want an explanation wasn't there a picture of obama looking at the looking across the dmz to north korea with using binoculars that still had the lens caps on i I hope so. See if you can find that one out. There was a picture of someone. We all make mistakes. But again, like I said,
Starting point is 00:56:11 this photo wasn't just this one guy in the Navy posting it to his personal Instagram. This went through many people. It looks like the photo of Obama. They're fine. Are they? I swear there was one.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Somebody did it with lens caps on. That's really funny. It just seems, it seems wild to me. And also, you know, I think it is interesting that they chose just to pretend like this isn't happening, right? Like, is this the correct response? Do you not address this or do you try to make it like,
Starting point is 00:56:39 do you put another one out that's like even worse? And you say, can you see all of our mistakes? Like, do you make a joke out of it? How does the U.S. Navy come back from this? What is wrong with his uniform? And you might find the one piece. out that's like even worse you say can you see all of our mistakes like where's waldo how does the usd become what is what is wrong with his uniform and you might find the one piece apparently according to snopes it was uh presidents clinton and bush peering through binoculars status is undetermined if the lens caps were still in place there's one of but that's clinton and that those definitely look like it's a bipartisan mistake yeah they they look like captain then there's
Starting point is 00:57:03 one of i knew it had happened to somebody bush but it looks like the caps are off on bushes but then there's another picture of bush looking through with the caps on that's so funny from 2001 yeah there's one right here 93 you know in many cases you're a prisoner of whoever hands you whatever it is you're supposed to be using right true and he might have immediately taken the caps off yeah and then so who knows but with this scope someone had to put it on the gun right yeah yep yeah yeah maybe he picked it up he picked it up they took the picture and he was like oh the cap's still on and then they were like we're using it because it just looks good no one will notice what in the hell that seems that seems to underestimate gun culture in america wondering
Starting point is 00:57:40 why people are resigning their commissions and why our recruitment numbers are so low, here you go. It's a chicken with his head cut off. You know, part of me is just wondering about social order decay and everything that's been going on in this country. And I'm like, part of me thinks that we're in a simulation and the generations that actually built this, they never really existed. And the earth was created as is 70 years ago and then they were like now let's see if humans can actually maintain this if we tell them that it's possible and it's just falling apart
Starting point is 00:58:12 because humans are stupid well I think it's a good time for people to become a military commander if they want to join the military go to like officer school get trained to command and lead people because we need a really good group of commanders.
Starting point is 00:58:27 And just wait out the current hierarchy. Yeah. Because really, if some really horrible thing happens at the top and they give you the order to like annihilate your own people, we need commanders in place that are willing to resist those orders. Yeah. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:58:40 I think right now, I mean, especially because of the mandates put out during COVID, people are even more wary of the military. But I also think that when you're on the precipice of potential conflict on a geopolitical level, you know, people who would maybe feel a call to serve the country look around and say, I don't want to serve under this president. I don't want to be sent to that war. Like, I don't i don't see anything and i think even more so because distrust in the government is so high you'll see people who again who are qualified because it's a very small pool of people who are actually qualified to join the military and who are willing and i think a lot of them are looking around saying i think i need to stay with my
Starting point is 00:59:17 family in case anything happens i guess someone we got a super chat where they mentioned i saw i saw this on twitter uh dark hellhound says, don't forget the Navy. Facebook had a guy that welding gloves said, I eat ass with a heart on it. What? Yeah. So, you know, there's that too. That's a good one. That's just. But that's the Navy.
Starting point is 00:59:36 You know what I mean? Like in the Navy. Look, look, let them be. I thought we took away. Don't ask, don't tell. That's a village from the village people. It's just. We have military commanders talking about how climate change is the greatest national security threat that there is.
Starting point is 00:59:48 And, you know, when we have Iran doing what Iran is doing and you have China doing what China is doing, and there's actual real global threats for the leaders of our military to to talk about climate change as what is threatening the United States. I mean, that's that's not powerful. What is your job, dude's that's not powerful what is your job dude that's not that's not why we have a military and if that you know if you're at the recruiting station about to sign up and he's like all right why am i doing this climate change no i got one y'all are gonna you're gonna look real stupid because you know i think i think that the recruit numbers are probably too good and we have too many and uh those photos were
Starting point is 01:00:23 released because we want to convince russia and china that we're weak and feeble i like where your head's at and then they underestimate us and then all of a sudden we show up and our troops are in like iron man suits and biden was actually spry the whole time and the stumbling muttering fool he is is an act that's it as soon as he gets off stage, he just straightens up and goes, did it work? Did you see the video?
Starting point is 01:00:48 He was like walking with the prime minister of Japan today. And he's like stiff shuffling. And it's like, they closed the door. Suddenly he's like, well, my friend, I'm here to discuss all like,
Starting point is 01:00:55 he just like is a completely different person behind who put that video. Oh no. Today he, the prime minister of Japan is visiting. And there was a clip of them walking in front of the white house. You can just see he's like stiff and shuffling but i like the idea that he's been spry the whole time yeah they close they close the door everyone's caught off guard he takes the mask off and he's got his normal face on pre-surgery there was an old saturday night live
Starting point is 01:01:17 sketch a sketch about reagan in that exact thing where he would you know in the oval office and he's the affable old guy for a photo op a little like girl scouts are coming in for a picture he's like well how are you doing little girl blah blah and he acts like the you know the friendly old grandpa and as soon as the door closes he goes all right now here's what we're gonna do and he turns yeah just like you're describing yeah there was a bit from um whose line is it anyways when they're like what is uh george w bush doing when he's alone in the oval office and he's like pretending to be like quoting shakespeare and saying all these things and they open the door and he's like, uh, what?
Starting point is 01:01:46 I don't understand. Like that he's just playing sort of dumb the whole time. I think probably Biden is not awe-inspiring, but it's a good strategy for the military if they're just trying to look like we're in bad shape so we can surprise the enemy. Yeah, it's part of the art of war. Sun Tzu's art of war,
Starting point is 01:02:01 when you're strong, seem weak. When you're weak, play strong. I mean, it would be smart. I'm not sure that's what they're doing. It's a double-edged blade of intelligence. the art of war sun tzu's art of war when you're strong seem weak when your weeks play strong i mean it would be smart i i'm not sure that's what it's a double-edged blade of intelligence because you might be trick your own people in the process so you got to be careful turns out inflation isn't really bad at all and biden was the greatest president we've ever had well they were they were just pretending to be stupid who knew well they keep telling us the economy's not that bad but it's very expensive to go to the grocery store these days.
Starting point is 01:02:25 I'm like, I don't want to join the military because I love my life in the civilian sector, but I do feel a desperate calling to aid the U.S. military in some sort of command structure. You should enlist. I wouldn't enlist. They wouldn't let you. No, I would like to advise the president or something, at least in some way. I've done so much battle i want everyone listening to imagine president donald trump being like we need ian get a bit here he's gonna answer what we do with gaza dude and if you think you guys listening you think i'm crazy pretty good yeah wait for the rest of the country to be like who is this freaking dude i can just see your
Starting point is 01:03:00 cabinet headshot now with your hair and like a velvet blazer. It'd be great. I've been watching all these Napoleonic war tactics. Like Napoleon had the new technology. But I mean, modern war, I just don't know what technology we have and how to use. Because of that, I don't know how to use it and how to prepare for it. I can only imagine space lasers. I don't know exactly. Some kind of lasers. Earthquake weaponry.
Starting point is 01:03:21 There's lasers in there somewhere. The Havana active denial weaponry. That's a real thing, I believe. invisible yeah invisible weapons active denial is different that's when they microwave you do you believe that the havana syndrome is real probably i do yeah i mean you know you there's questions about whether 60 minutes is utilizing it to jump up fear and hatred for russia but there's probably so many weapons people don't know about yeah weird freaky stuff that people wouldn't believe i think most ufo sightings are probably just weapons research and technology i saw a weird
Starting point is 01:03:55 triangle in the sky it's like i don't know is it a blackbird or something yeah like please stop asking questions now yeah they've got talking plasma you ever hear that thing where they they triangulate laser i think their laser lasers to a point in the sky. Three or more, and then it creates a ball of plasma that they can move around really fast because it's like a laser pointer, and then it'll show up on a radar, and they'll be like, what is this craft on the radar? It looks like but it's just moving light around, and then you can tell
Starting point is 01:04:16 it'll look like a tic-tac. What's that? It'll look like a tic-tac. Yeah, you can potentially change the shape of it, I think. I'm not quite sure about the shapes, but you can teleport sound through it. So you can, like, from a base station, send lasers to a spot and then make people think they're hearing stuff. That's a new kind of weaponizable technology.
Starting point is 01:04:34 That's wild. I don't know much about the Chinese army, or the way we see what the Russians are doing in Ukraine. They're having a little trouble. But the American, the United States Army has always been the the finest in the world in my estimation and you know things like this navy picture don't help don't help the image yeah my dad he uh joined the navy during vietnam uh he didn't want to get drafted so he joined the navy signed up he enlisted yeah right away and uh he's told me don't ever join the military if there's anything you ever want to
Starting point is 01:05:03 do in your life, other than that, do it because it will rip your creativity out of your soul. And I, so I just took it to heart, but now I'm at a point. And, but I did always think like, well, I think as an officer would be a different story.
Starting point is 01:05:13 He was an enlisted deckhand and hated it. You know, it made him crap swab the deck and treating them like trash for a lot of time. So I could see command would be more respectable way to join the military. But I don't know. I'm 45 at this point. It may be.
Starting point is 01:05:28 But it doesn't mean that the future is bright. So maybe we could go that direction. I feel like I've aged out of it. I'm 54. Maybe you should do some basic training for three months. Just exercise and eat. Exactly. That's where I'm at right now.
Starting point is 01:05:41 I want to reduce caffeine because I'm also concerned with, apparently a lot of pregnancies, like having trouble getting pregnant is having to do with male sperm. It's less about the female, a lot about the male sperm. Yeah, sperm quality. Too much caffeine can, super acidic,
Starting point is 01:05:53 too much coffee, so I'm cutting out the coffee. Want to cut out, what was the other stuff? Yeah, but the army like runs on coffee. Yeah. So I want to- Psychoactive stimulants.
Starting point is 01:06:02 I just want to get into a healthy, like a real man's day where I have kids, I have a family, I'm an actual muscular, normal dude. Then I want to- Psychoactive stimulants. I just want to get into a healthy, like a real man's day where I have kids, I have a family, I'm an actual muscular, normal dude. Then I'll consider maybe- Man, you weren't out one time and we're just turning players.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Ian's missed six training sessions. Well, I went for a four and a half mile walk this morning. That was why I didn't- And you're not lifting. No, I lifted after you guys finished. I just went in there by myself. Oh, I did. I did chest presses.
Starting point is 01:06:24 I did bicep curls. I did tricep pulls. You got personal training. This guy's not showing up. I did those tricep busts. And I've been skating a little bit, which is really good for the lower body. These push-up pop shove-ups. You do cardio?
Starting point is 01:06:36 Big time. Dude, my heart has been going into VO2. I don't know if it's max, but it's like, this is what it's supposed to feel like. It's been 30 years. And then as soon as I start lifting, it goes back into VO two again. Like I don't, it's like the body's ready for it.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Skateboarding. It depends. Right. So today I was on the mini ramp, which is a lot of back and forth and that's VO two max. So your heart rate is about to burst. The ones outside here downstairs. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:59 The downstairs one's way better. It's a complete. Yes. Indoor. You have an indoor one. Yeah. And the one downstairs is complete. It's a mini ramp. So it's actually a half pipe and you can go back and forth on it
Starting point is 01:07:08 and that'll get your heart rate up and that's uh that's tremendous that's tremendously cardio but uh skating like on the ground like when you see someone running on the street that's actually fairly anaerobic because a lot of jumps it's a lot of bursts of energy and compression when you land. And so it's a decent mix, to be honest. But if I skate street, which is on flat ground, my heart rate will be around like 160 to 170. If I go on the ramp, it's 185. Really? Yeah. Just through the roof for a half an hour straight nonstop.
Starting point is 01:07:39 And yeah. And I'm pretty new. I skated when I was like 12 and I fell off the skateboard and dislocated my toe and missed my Washington DC field trip. And I've saw that trauma about skating my whole life. But getting back on there, Richie Jackson's been training me just without the wheels even, just the board and doing pop shove-its
Starting point is 01:07:55 and just over and over and over and over until get it, get it, get it. You want to land it perfect. And then all of a sudden it gets easy. And you're like in this flow state where it's like, oh, I just did it three times in a row. And then you'll like tweak and it'll do it again mess up and then you get back into that flow state again it in it and the whole time it's fun so you don't realize how hard you work it out
Starting point is 01:08:11 and then i like lay down and get into this recovery state it is great when i was about 10 years old my mother would not let me get a skateboard and so i never never really broke into that column i'm sorry to say well let's jump to this story we have this from the daily mail chicago's progressive democrat mayor brandon johnson unveils plans to spend another 70 million dollars of taxpayer cash on 38 000 i love how they say migrants no criminal aliens who've arrived in the city on top of the 150 million already set aside for 2024 this is where your tax dollars are going ladies and gentlemen and i want all of the Gen Z people to share this. And if you know anybody who's Gen Z, share it with them.
Starting point is 01:08:48 And say, I don't care what you think, I don't care if you like them or don't like them. But don't complain about why you can't afford things while you support Democrats dumping your money into non-citizens. You got a dude who's 30 years old from Honduras, he's coming here, and he's taking
Starting point is 01:09:04 your inheritance away from you so for all these gen z people who are like you know where's my piece of the pie where's my american dream well democrats gave it away they gave it away to people who aren't from here so there it is right right there for you keep voting for it i guess and who broke the laws their first act uh as far as arriving in this country was to break the law and it's not just i mean chicago you might expect some craziness from chicago this guy's a self-identified socialist or communist or something the new mayor but the governor of michigan which you would think might be a little bit more mainstream than the mayor of chicago offering 500 a month housing subsidies to people who let illegal aliens stay in their house or stay in
Starting point is 01:09:39 their apartments if they own if they own apartments or things, five hundred dollar subsidies to to actually encourage more. It's more of the same policies of the kind that Biden has been doing. He campaigned on doing this. He promised as a candidate, because if you remember the 2019, 2020 Democrat sweepstakes, those primaries where there was like 15 of them. And it was a race to see who could get further to the left on all kinds of things, including immigration. And who was going to be friendliest and let the most illegal immigrants. Biden promised that he was going to suspend deportations, not going to deport anybody anymore at all.
Starting point is 01:10:11 He had a pathway to citizenship, which he called it. It's actually amnesty. He was going to give everybody free health care, allow them to legally enter the workforce, even though they were illegally present in this country. He said he was going to do all these things. People showed up at our southern border, illegal immigrants, illegal aliens showing up at the southern border wearing Biden T-shirts telling reporters we came because Joe Biden said he wouldn't kick us out.
Starting point is 01:10:37 And that and this is what you get. And it's continuing. And then they and then he has the nerve to say it's the Republicans in Congress fault for not having passed the stupid bill, which was not a border bill at all, but was in fact a Ukraine aid bill dressed up as a border bill. It was like 70 million to Ukraine or 70 billion. 70 billion, yeah. And then 1.6 billion to the border. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Like 10 billion. Enormously lopsided to give Ukraine money versus what the name of the bill was. It was supposed to be a border security bill. Wellraine's border security ukraine's border security we love protecting oh yeah technically another border it is a border bill it's just a bunch of different just not ours and you know there's it's just i i the and the media of course lets him get away with it again and when he says oh if they the house republicans it's the house republicans fault that you campaigned on being the best friend that any illegal immigrant ever had. That's,
Starting point is 01:11:27 that's the speaker Johnson's fault. I got to clarify something you said earlier. You said the governor of Michigan, which is Gretchen Whitmer is, is giving $500 a month to landlords. Anyone that hosts an illegal immigrant, it's a subsidy. It's a subsidy.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Well, that's, or they would ultimately be receiving the money. I'm not exactly sure how they're going to get it, whether the illegal alien gets the 500 bucks and it's then passed on to the landlord or whether it's a voucher and then the state pays the landlord directly i don't know but you're saying it's program it's the taxpayers are the ones paying yes so the community is being forced to pay people to host illegal immigrants to then which will then disrupt their community correct and or
Starting point is 01:12:05 displace the workforce in their community so they're that's interesting and that's on top of the strain that it puts on schools for example and school classroom overcrowding uh emergency services police hospital emergency rooms i mean i used to work for a member of congress named uh lou barletta from hazleton pennsylvania and you wouldn't think that Hazleton PA would have a big illegal immigration problem, but they did. And the emergency room, the wait time at the emergency room went from like half an hour to nine hours,
Starting point is 01:12:35 a wait time, average wait time at the emergency room because that's what the illegal alien population was using as primary healthcare. They just go to the emergency room and it tied it all up. And, you know, their English as a second language budget in their public schools went from 500 bucks to like three million in the space of two years. Yeah, there are very serious consequences to community.
Starting point is 01:12:58 It's not just the 500 bucks of taxpayer money. It's everything. It's pervasive in a local economy. It strains everything. And they're not fully a part of the tax base. Yes, they pay sales tax because they buy things in stores and sales tax. You can't escape sales tax, but they don't pay income tax. Right. They don't have legitimate social security numbers.
Starting point is 01:13:15 So they're draining resources without contributing back to them. Correct. Denver was also trying to get landlords to rent their properties to- Yeah. They kept calling them like new residents or something. There's a euphemism that's what makes me crazy yes uh new arrivals is what michigan calls it new new arrivals or no that forget what they call if you if you google it newcomers newcomers maybe it might be it might be called the newcomers subsidy housing subsidy program i think that's what they call it the newcomers housing oh wow that is gross that's dripping with nastiness yeah
Starting point is 01:13:44 new because it's supposed to make you feel like if you're against it you're a terrible person right when actually what they're saying is someone who is here in the middle of committing a crime being in this country illegally is someone that should get money over you i remember this with um with uh boston or massachusetts massachusetts uh had to say to people who are like american families that are experiencing homelessness or women experience domestic violence who are trying to find shelter with their kids. Oh, well, the shelters are full because we have a lot of illegal immigrants right now. So we'll see you when we see you. You know, like I understand the idea that you should be charitable.
Starting point is 01:14:17 On the other hand, if you're especially a tax supported organization or a tax supported resource, shouldn't you be supporting American families and American people first? But instead we're like, well, we can't close the border because then we would be admitting that Trump was right about something. Charity, you're like central first. You're like because charity is only like a portion of what you bring in and if this is displacing your ability to bring anything in, then that's
Starting point is 01:14:40 not charity. That's another something other than charity. If it's being given to them against your will, you're not the one donating. And it harms the community, right? Like communities suffer. This example of the emergency unit is a great one. Communities suffer when we're saying
Starting point is 01:14:51 suddenly a lot of people can be here and receive the resources that the rest of us pay into to contribute to. Like that was the point of taxes, right? They're going to tax you, but they're going to offer you a service. Right. You get something in exchange for your taxes.
Starting point is 01:15:03 These people are getting the something in exchange without paying the taxes. This is from Michigan.gov. Here's a description of it. Many refugees and other newcomers. There you go. Refugees and other newcomers. That's the catch all. That's the dangerous one.
Starting point is 01:15:17 Face critical housing challenges. And this program will increase access to better and more affordable housing opportunities while supporting a more rapid social integration to refugees and other newcomer populations to michigan the other newcomers reference to the murderers and rapists that's those yeah right there this is the newcomer rental subsidy right and there's been you know the the murder at the university of georgia that girl who got killed while she was jogging lake and riley that got a lot of the headlines but a woman was just killed in grand rapids like two weeks ago by an illegal alien someone um commented on one of our videos i think a couple weeks ago they said tim had mentioned newcomers and they were like you guys don't ever call them newcomers even in jest because they want you to start doing that yeah
Starting point is 01:15:57 so just don't even consider that is ridiculous illegal criminal alien is good well criminal alien is the legal term criminal alien illegal immigrant is is good well criminal alien is the legal term criminal alien illegal immigrant is like i don't know where that originates but it's a softening of the legal term it's the word alien is all over the federal code right that's the way the law is written and when they when they enter the country illegally they have broken the law as criminals they are criminal aliens that is the academic descriptive term for it. If I wanted to be mean, I could say a whole lot of other things. Sure.
Starting point is 01:16:29 But we just say criminal alien. And then you get illegal immigrant. Then you get unauthorized. And websites like the Daily Mail, they say migrant. Yeah. Oh, yeah, migrant. Another one I just heard the other day was differently qualified. What?
Starting point is 01:16:41 Yeah. I've never heard that before. I always hated undocumented citizen. That's the big one that the left is pushing. What? Yeah. I've never heard that before. I always hated undocumented citizen. That's the big one that the left is pushing. It's incorrect. That's like a newcomer because they're trying to get that word citizen on the map. Yep. They want to change the word so they can say undocumented citizen.
Starting point is 01:16:55 And then in 20 years ago, how is it that there are citizens of this country who aren't allowed to vote? Right. What do you mean they're undocumented? Well, they're already doing it. New York City Council wants people to be able to vote. Yeah. that one though yeah i know but it's i mean their desire is they're doing in california in california it's insane it's insane honestly i don't there's no other country on earth that would allow itself to not enforce its own borders you can't be a country without enforcing your own border name another country on earth that would allow me to go there well and vote in their elections let's simplify it uh how do you break it down the definition of a nation you want to
Starting point is 01:17:31 look up the definition of nation yeah and and we'll break this down for everybody so they can understand in simple linguistic terms what is the definition of nation in a broad sense this is the first definition in a broad sense a race of people an aggregation of persons of the same ethnic family and speaking the same language or cognate languages now now look up country in a narrower sense a political society composed of a sovereign uh or governor sovereign or government that subjects or citizen and subjects or citizens and consulting a political unit and organized community inhabiting a certain extent of territory. Right. So there's no territory. The borders are open. Within which its sovereignty is exercised.
Starting point is 01:18:08 And so you ask, what country? Well, the answer is simple. We have no country. The United States is a sinking ship. It's hard to argue with. It's been gutted. It is. Literally, our nation is being flooded by people.
Starting point is 01:18:21 That's the metaphor of the sinking ship is being flooded by people but that's the metaphor of the sinking ship is being flooded a nation is a people is a government is a cooperation between these people to defend their jurisdiction and support the people of their country and right now we have no borders and you have people in quote-unquote government that are facilitating its destruction i should say metaphorically we're being flooded rogue faction is occupying what was once the united states of america and they're destroying it they're actively destroying it And is it or what do you think? What's your vibe? Tomorrow we're going to see that movie. It's called Civil War. I'm pumped. Do you think
Starting point is 01:18:50 it's intentional or do you find that it's just stand by and wait while some other force on the left? It's absolutely intentional. This is voter farming is what it is. Well, it's electoral power farming, right? You bring the people in, you count them towards your your
Starting point is 01:19:05 census get more already counted in the census and then that's already happening democrats get more congressional seats and more electoral votes and so the minority position of this country is gutting the fabric of this nation to steal power and burn to the ground right and the funny thing is and the democrats this is a further evidence that the left is at those at the steering wheel here in the administration and not joe biden himself joe biden they roll him out there and he starts using the word latinx now that is not a word that joe biden ever heard of he didn't know that word some some pinhead 23 year old told him oh you got to say latinx and it's which is a word that's supported by approximately one percent of the american latino population they don't want to be called latinx because it's a
Starting point is 01:19:48 bastardization of the spanish language they don't like it so right now what uh what we're dealing with is we we get many super chats especially increasingly as of late where people are saying the show didn't appear on youtube the show didn't appear even on our channel. And it comes and goes in waves. Now, perhaps for whatever reason, it is innocent why TimCast IRL, the show that y'all watch every night, didn't appear on your homepage like it normally does. But what's really alarming is when people say, I went to TimCast IRL on YouTube and the show was not there. Ain't nothing anybody can do about that unless we tweet it out. But I think this is obvious. We are throttled intentionally because of the conversations we're having like this so i i uh decided you know we had a thousand episodes as of yesterday so i recorded a quick
Starting point is 01:20:34 30 second commercial where i said hey if you want to watch a show on news culture and politics check out timcast irl and i said here's some of the guests we have i included marion williamson and vivek ramaswamy and then i uh ran it i put it on google ads and it said, here's some of the guests we have. I included Marianne Williamson and Vivek Ramaswamy. And then I ran it. I put it on Google ads and it said, denied election, electioneering or something. So I appealed, re-recorded something without saying the names, Marianne Williamson and Vivek Ramaswamy.
Starting point is 01:20:56 I said, we've had many guests. We've got Michael Maus. We've had Joe Rogan and even Kanye West. So check the show out, subscribe. It has been pending for 11 hours. You know what would be cool is a short video of a bunch of the funniest clips from our show. I'm not here to talk about it.
Starting point is 01:21:12 My point is, the response I get from people when I ask them about it, they're like, YouTube right now is tightening everything pertaining to the election because they want their politics to be the politics that are dominant. And means the goal will be when we saw us who was it sergi brin and the other people at google crying in that bright bart that video bright bart released and it wasn't just bright but i think it's like polygon too crying saying they would never let this happen again don't be surprised if it becomes increasingly harder to find a show like this as we get closer
Starting point is 01:21:42 and closer to the election yeah i worked at mines I was doing administration there and I made a hard rule for myself and kind of for the company that if it's political, it's not going to go on the front page. That's just, it's too diverse. It's too like a binary. It's too opposing. It's too divisive. It's just not safe for work. Politics is not safe for work in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:22:00 And maybe the admins I'm being benefited of the doubt. Maybe that's what they, they just don want the the politics all over the front page more nefarious would be that they specifically don't want a certain type of politics well so i was gonna say share the show and we'll send out this reminder because as we get into the political season you know there's a period in like 22 and 23 viewership was steadily increasing everything like that. And it fairly is. But now we're starting to see people be like, why isn't the show appearing on the channel anymore? And I'm like, before we even get to that point, I'm going to say share the show. Right, right, right. So do you think with YouTube, it gets more intense during an election season, then lets up, then goes back during election?
Starting point is 01:22:41 Or is it always going to get worse and worse and worse on the platform? So it's interesting that it happens because because during election season viewership skyrockets naturally people are looking for information on politics and advertisers are looking to target shows like this because they want to counter whatever opinions we have so for instance in 20 in 2019 bloomberg i think it was 2019 bloomberg was dumping money onto my youtube channels because i was talking smack about bloomberg so he's like, no, no, no, we're going to run that. Well, it's the only thing you can do. You can counter the message.
Starting point is 01:23:10 So my prediction is actually our viewership is going to go nuts towards the end of the year. But with trying to put up this ad where I was like, we've never actually run an ad promoting the show before. Never, not once. We did banner ads in Times Square and stuff. That was more of a prestige thing.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Like, look, we are here and we you know, we have beaten the mainstream media. Now I was like, we did a thousand episodes. Let's just do like a little bit, a couple hundred bucks and see what happens. And we got denied for election. And I'm like, we don't, what? The show itself? Like, what's this all about? It's certain words, right?
Starting point is 01:23:40 I think that right there when they denied the ad was them being like only certain politics are allowed right right it's interesting because you aren't can't uh you aren't campaigning for a candidate you're just saying we talk about elections we talk about politics and they're like i didn't say elections that's not i didn't say we talk about elections you said politics no oh yeah right i said news news culture and politics we've had a bunch of guests even presidential candidates like marion williamson and ramawamy so it sounds to me like i mean you the script that as you described it didn't express any opinions at all i just told basic facts this is what we talk about this is who we talk to and marion williamson's left and to make his right yeah i was like i
Starting point is 01:24:16 thought it was fairly balanced it just sounds like they were afraid that there might be dangerous opinions oh yeah because vivek's like the next president he's going to be the next republican president after trump you know that to have those opinions we i mean i live through so you're it's going to get worse if you think they're as we're approaching this election they are going to throttle you know that right we i live through it in the on the 2020 trump campaign with the the hunter biden laptop oh yeah stuff and twitter and facebook and then the entire mainstream news media uh deciding that it was a non-story and as a group not going to report it um twitter wouldn't let you share it they suspended the new york post's twitter handle and all that for daring to publish the story in the first place
Starting point is 01:24:56 it was insane the guy from uh facebook openly said no we are throttling this story we don't want people to be sharing this they said it i want to jump to this uh cultural story because we've got time for about one more segment this is from the daily wire only fans model quits platform after making millions says she found god ah she found god after making nine million dollars on the porn streaming site only fans nala ray told the daily wire host michael knolls she's found god and the business. Ray sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Knowles, who dug into her own past as the daughter of a pastor, and how she initially got into porn, and what finally made her decide to let it all go. Now, the controversy here is, according to Pearl Davis, she says that this woman still had her OnlyFans up up until the day before she did the interview. And the whole argument that she's quit OnlyFans
Starting point is 01:25:50 and no longer wants to be a hooker is a grift to make money. Now, the reason why I want to bring this up is because my response is good. Pearl Davis says, let me get this straight. I'm the bad guy for saying this is all for money. And then she brags in this interview about how much money she's making off God. What are you doing now for money?
Starting point is 01:26:09 I just go live on TikTok and talk about God and I'll make pretty decent money off that. My response to this is good. Even if it's a grift, this means grifters are learning that God is a better grift than porn. It's better to have these people pushing virtue instead of degeneracy. Pearl Davis doesn't quite understand the point being made. She says, I'm right again, take the L, because I'm just going to give my opinion, and I think Pearl will be here in the studio in a month or so, so perhaps you would want to have this conversation in person. I believe, like, Pearl saying, I'm right again, take the L, take the L. My point is apt and completely correct
Starting point is 01:26:46 and there's no L to be taken. And the fact that she said that shows she's more interested in just attacking this woman for whatever reason and pushing her, whatever, whatever her story
Starting point is 01:26:56 or narrative is. Because look, this is a video that says, here's the video of me reloading my browser off her page because screenshots can be from the past showing
Starting point is 01:27:02 her OnlyFans is still available. My point. That has no bearing on my point. She is a degenerate and now she realizes there is more money feigning virtue. It means that there is a culture shift towards virtue to which she then tries to just hammer in the point that Michael Knowles is wrong and she's bad and it's bad no matter what and we have to be angry and cry about it. Our culture is not going towards virtue when we used to have actual preachers. And now we have OnlyFans models. I'm not sure how you can ignore this with the insane number of sex workers that have popped up among celebrities. And even just on X.
Starting point is 01:27:37 To which I must say again for the 800th time. This is called moving in the right direction. My point here is. You had a woman who went on OnlyFans to make millions of dollars. And for whatever reason, she was like, I'm going to say that I found God. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. But imagine what happens when someone who used to do porn is turning it off, doing an interview with Michael Knowles, and then saying they found God. If that is maintained and encouraged, then there's kids who are going to go on a TikTok and they're going to find someone
Starting point is 01:28:05 with tons of followers making money by saying, porn is bad. Don't do it. Find God. Even if she's lying to make money and laughing, going, conservatives are so dumb. Look how rich I am. A bunch of kids will grow up hearing that message and believing it. It makes me think of in Mere Christianity, the ceaseless essays, when he talks about, you know, my job is to bring you into the hallway and when you decide what door meaning like what if you want to be Roman Catholic Greek Orthodox whatever that's your choice to go in it but the first thing I could do is to bring you to the hallway of Christianity and and and that's that's where you need to start um again I can't
Starting point is 01:28:40 say if this person is sincere or not but it is interesting that if she is a grifter who is grifting that she was like there's money to be made in this venue. That means that people are desiring that content. Let me ask, is her OnlyFans page still live while she's on TikTok talking about how she's become Christian? It was for a while. Well, according to Pearl and others, right before she did the interview with Michael Knowles about about it she took it down because if she were doing the tiktok pro christianity thing at the same time her only fans page was still live that could be a way where she thinks i'll watch this i'm gonna pretend that i found god and then people will get curious that
Starting point is 01:29:16 will drive more traffic to my only fans page and people will be you know titillated because now this new christian used to do porn and there it still is and that's the argument for pro that she's going to go right back to doing it or whatever but whatever but you're right as long as people are hearing that they don't know it's a lie or a grift it's still a good message but i'm going to tell this to pearl as well she tweeted tim i have interviewed with 1 000 women ranging across miami la atlanta london ireland amsterdam germany and i promise this is wishful thinking there will be an explosion of sex workers it's already starting the next 10 years uh you're wrong uh pearl you're wrong i'm gonna let it i'm gonna let it simmer for a little bit okay you're wrong okay now that i've let it simmer ai will erase sex workers in a year
Starting point is 01:29:57 done i don't think so you can't you can't tap to human touch yes you can you can't no no no no we're talking about only fans we're talking about your only online stuff. Okay. Right. It's going to be erased. Wow. Gone. Because you already have these stories popping up of AI women who generate $30,000 a month
Starting point is 01:30:16 or more. Wow. And a guy can run a hundred AI women. Here's the thing. A real human woman will struggle against an AI that can deliver exactly what a person wants. A human can only try and guess
Starting point is 01:30:34 at the emotional state of the person making the request. The AI can scan all the messages, compare the messages from guy A, guy B, guy C, and then know exactly what to send to a guy to get them to subscribe. And they're going to take all the money
Starting point is 01:30:47 and it's going to be dudes living in OnlyFans virtual world plugged into a robot run by some big fat dude who's got a hundred accounts. These women may start signing up for OnlyFans and they're going to drop off instantly because they ain't getting nothing from it. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:31:00 You know, I've thought about AI and how it's going to replace a lot of stuff. What about the big voice movie, voiceover guy? You know, the've thought about AI and how it's going to replace a lot of stuff. What about the big voice movie voiceover guy? The guy who does the trailer voice? Coming this summer. That guy's gone. He doesn't have a job anymore. Well, he's been gone for a long time.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Is that right? Well, I mean, there's like, it's not one guy. There's like an AI Orson Welles. I don't mean just the one guy, but like a guy who does that for a living. The big voice guy, the voiceover guy. Yeah, I don't think trailers do that anymore. AI could do that. Summer. Yeah, you wouldn't need him anymore., I don't think trailers do that anymore. Hey, I could do that. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:31:26 you wouldn't need him anymore. Yeah, no, no, no, no, but, but that whole thing's been gone for,
Starting point is 01:31:29 for decades. Yeah. The whole, uh, in a world gone mad. Like they don't do that anymore. Now, now,
Starting point is 01:31:34 now trailers are all clips. Yeah. So trailers go through trailer companies and there's a really good, I watched this really great video where they broke down how Disney does it. And they compared Ant-Man's trailer, the Quantumania, to like three other trailers. And they are like shot for shot identical, even though they're completely different movies. The sound, the music, there's no more narration. But to your point, James Earl Jones already recorded the key intonations that you need to generate an AI voice and sold his likeness or something like that.
Starting point is 01:32:04 For Darth Vader? Was that what it was? Yeah. I would imagine. So they wouldn't have needed James Earl Jones. Now they can just type in the words and they got, Oh yeah, we listened to that song before the show. We'll play that one of them. It's really funny. AI generated song. And like, um, they have Orson, I think it's Orson Welles on Instagram. He's one of the narrators when he talks like this, that's like the Orson welles ai voice they use as a narrator um yeah i i do yeah i think we're a year out you know with nala though this is the girl's name is nala the redhead girl i saw her on whatever where she was doing her character her nala thing with crossing her eyes and acting all weird and i think mary morgan was on the show with her
Starting point is 01:32:39 looking at her across the table like relax listening to her and nala i think at some point just saw the humanity and the people she was with and like she's from a religious background and she's very genuine talking to michael knolls it's a wonderful interview i've i've seen like 20 minutes 25 minutes of it it was really really uh or really nice to see the psychology of someone going through what she's going through nala looked at how people who do sex work are treated and was like once you make all that money you will be a pariah you will be you will be mocked and insulted forever and the only way out is through reformation yeah she could
Starting point is 01:33:12 very well be using it to escape something but also maybe she's really feeling some i mean she got baptized i i don't know she's just an interesting girl i will go watch that michael knowles interview with her after our show and i think christians in this country a lot of them are you know are are uh i don't want to say sensitive but they're they're skeptical of being co-opted for you know a shift in areas for a pr rebrand right now i mean think about how they're reacting to uh rihanna's you know cover of that magazine or whatever where she dresses up like a nun but it's obviously like mocking Catholicism people especially Christians feel as though they have been the the butt of a lot of jokes and they don't want that anymore and so they also don't want to
Starting point is 01:33:56 be seen as this like oh well if you claim to Christianity we're just obligated to trust you blindly and I can understand that sort of skepticism, right? Like if you feel as though your religion has been mocked and abused, why would you want to just say, oh, but anyone can join and claim it? Yeah. I think they're probably used to that because, I mean, Christianity is really,
Starting point is 01:34:15 this is not an original thought, but it's the only religion that you are free to mock. Right? Those are the rules here in this country. You're allowed to make fun of Christians and no one else. Well, I guess it depends on, of like the actual religions. Because we can make fun of the hokey ones, like the ones where they think- Hare Krishna is in the like-
Starting point is 01:34:34 Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism. Yeah, is that what it's called? Where I think aliens like made Earth or something? I don't know. No, Zoroastrianism was a guy, they worshiped this guy named Zoroaster who like worshiped the stars. It was like one of the first religions.
Starting point is 01:34:43 Yeah, you're allowed to make fun of that. It's like the Ghostbusters, the first Ghostbusters. Is what it was i don't know it's like that maybe it reminds me of that uh gozer gozer gozer the gozerian yeah gozer the gozerian zorasterism is one of the world's oldest monotheistic faiths this guy zoraster would like pray on a mountain and eventually he saw like one in the many and then from there he's pretty cool religion. I think with, with Christianity, when you accept Christ into your heart,
Starting point is 01:35:09 there's no denying it. And anyone that tries to deny that that's, I mean, that's evil at work. Like if you're truly on the path, everything else is noise. So, I mean,
Starting point is 01:35:18 Pearl, you gotta, well, anyway, well, I'll see when I see a Pearl, we can talk more about it, but I mean,
Starting point is 01:35:22 give her the benefit of the doubt and don't manifest evil in the world. Don't say things are going to get worse. Just, well, I don't think we need to give her the benefit of the doubt. My point is not that she's a good person who found God. My point is when all the grifters start going, I too am a Christian. That means the narrative has shifted to the point where it is culturally and socially obligate. Like the left likes to say,
Starting point is 01:35:46 you're on the wrong side of history because we're going to push these ideas. When these grifters that used to be on the left are now going, actually, the right is who I am. Good. It means that the right has dominated the cultural narrative. It means it's desirable to be that.
Starting point is 01:36:00 Or that they fear being on the wrong side of history and they think God is the right side of history and they think god is the right side of history and the truth is power is a popularity contest so you know it's a heck of a thing if you decide you're an atheist for example that's it's a hell of a payoff if you're wrong right what do you mean i mean if you decide you're an atheist and then it turns out you're wrong that there is a god you've made a bad bet you've been saying you're not real this whole time yeah well but but but but i suppose the issue there is you're making a bet on any one god or or or polytheistic pantheon right i mean for all for all you know you go up to heaven and zeus is up there and he's like uh-uh yeah wrong one but i
Starting point is 01:36:40 bet when you're if you're an atheist and you're like no there's nothing nothing nothing and then your body dies and your soul is being taken towards the sun, which will then send you to the galactic core, the bright white light. But you're like, no, no, it's not. And then your soul avoids it and gets spit out into the cold of deep space. That's hell. That's the absence of light.

Starting point is 01:37:45 Thank you, Tim Kesson team, for what you do every day. Yeah, so we've got Appalachian Nights brewing now in the mornings. And there's a period where Allison switched out to some other company just because we had it from a trip or whatever. And I'm just like, it's just not good. It can't do it. And did you know or could you just smell it in the air and be like,
Starting point is 01:38:06 this is incorrect? No, I tasted it and I was like, ugh. Keep trying other coffees though because you might find one that you want to integrate. Dude, look,
Starting point is 01:38:13 I made Appalachian Nights. We got a bunch of different roasts and then I put together the ones that I thought made the most sense. I was like, here's what I like in a coffee and it's my coffee.
Starting point is 01:38:23 It's like, it's made for you. When I bake cookies, they might be awful, but to me, they're delicious. You know what I like in a coffee. And it's my coffee. It's like- It's made for you. When I bake cookies, they might be awful, but to me, they're delicious. You know what I mean? So am I too. All right. Like a parent and their child. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:33 Most beautiful child. You know, it's like when I was younger, I'd be cooking and someone would be like, oh, you want to make some for me? And I'd be like, well, you might hate it, but it's food for me, so I love it. And then like, don't expect something delicious. But I'm sorry. I used to just put like grilled onions on bread with mayonnaise. And that was like my jam.
Starting point is 01:38:49 But I'm sure other people were like, that is not food. I would eat that. It's so good. If you toasted the bread, I would eat that. Yeah. Lightly toasted, mayo. And then you just grill. I would do a whole onion on one sandwich.
Starting point is 01:38:59 Oh, that sounds awesome. Salt it? No. Didn't eat it because of the mayo? Yeah. Yeah. I probably wasn't eating enough. Could you smear the onion in? Was it gooey enough that you could just spread it? no didn't eat it because of the mayo? yeah I probably wasn't eating enough could you smear the onion in?
Starting point is 01:39:08 was it gooey enough that you could just spread it? or was it still kind of hard? no no I don't get that crazy alright let's go Robert De La Cruz says FJB agreed
Starting point is 01:39:17 agreed Manipal says Putin is a pretty cool guy he did ban pride did he really? they have all kinds of restrictions on stuff like LGBTQ related stuff. All right.
Starting point is 01:39:32 Cody Cox says, I'm not sure if anything would shock me anymore in this cartoon Republic of Democracy. Agreed. Let's see how November goes. Tomorrow, we're going to go see that movie Civil War by A24.
Starting point is 01:39:46 And I read some reviews and some critics' reviews. They say it's nonpartisan. That it's not overtly political. I don't know. I guess we'll see. But the general idea is they don't really get into the underlying political catalysts for what sparks a civil war other than by the time the president gets in he takes extreme actions which results in like revolt he then tries to quell the revolt with airstrikes which revolts which results in secession and sparks conflict of some sort but
Starting point is 01:40:19 i don't know i'll watch it i guess the movie is about a group of journalists traveling from new york to dc to cover the civil war throughout this uh region and then uh get to dc to interview the they're hoping they can get an interview with the president or something but uh you know we'll see what it's yeah i'm looking nick offerman is the president no way yeah and they say that uh so not a lot of information's been released about it but the president gets in disbands the fbi tries to quell some revolt with airstrikes on american citizens or something sparking states to declare secession texas and california secede but then they they form an alliance that they call the western forces where yeah texas and california are politically at odds but france and the uk don't agree politically and everything but
Starting point is 01:41:02 they are part of an alliance the u.s and you know what I mean? Like, that's the general idea. Like, they're not the same country, but they're aligned militaristically. And then you have the, I forgot the other factions are called. There's the Florida Alliance. And then there's like the new People's Army or something. But so there's five factions. And then we're going to go see it tomorrow at four, which is the earliest screening, and then be back just in time for the show i hope it involves global because like in a
Starting point is 01:41:28 real u.s civil war it would be china would be one faction the european europe would be the other faction so like it would be a foreign war it wouldn't just be like insulated in some wall off yeah so we'll see i i'm gonna be very i'm gonna be that's interesting i'm gonna i'm gonna be very critical because the global impact of that That's interesting. I'm going to, I'm going to be very critical. Because the global impact of that would be huge. And so what you're saying, other countries would align with one or other of the factions fighting here, right? Yes. And how would that all work out?
Starting point is 01:41:54 China will. That's how the Revolutionary War was won. France just basically did it. And Spain. Spain was involved as well. And, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to be very critical watching this film. Because, you know, I read this stuff all day, every single day. And I'm curious to see how they address a few of these problems.
Starting point is 01:42:09 I know Andy Ngo and Taylor Hansen have footage in the film that's in the credits. And I'm interested in how they deal with the issue of currency and resource distribution in a civil war with five factions because the U.S. dollar is meaningless. So California. Are they getting into that in the movie? I don't know. I'd be interested to see. And if they don't, I'll say missed opportunity because it should be bitcoin yes it's a good first movie to really push bitcoin and like show what bitcoin is to the mass i don't know about push but point out yeah not push it to make people want it but just show i mean i could use a primer on
Starting point is 01:42:38 that myself i hope i hope because if they miss stuff like that i'm gonna be really disappointed because you've got these journalists and and and the storytelling of journalists going through a civil war, going to small towns and seeing how it's impacting, I think could be a great way to explain to people what it's like through storytelling. But if they miss currency, resource distribution, and other things too, I'll be disappointed because there's a great opportunity for them to be talking to like a rebel faction and then asking with the dissolution of the dollar or your your uh you know your state's dissolution of it how do you exchange resources you have a guy say bitcoin and then it's just like it's of course because that's that's that's valuable across borders so there's an opportunity there we'll see though we'll see tomorrow and then
Starting point is 01:43:25 we'll definitely talk about it all right let's go wrath of ball says gold still trading near all-time highs the fed can't raise rates due to the interest on the national debt once the market realize inflation is here to stay gold and gold stocks will skyrocket is that true no one has to say for sure the economists but they've been saying that my whole life i years cost one of the stories that we we actually had pulled up we didn't get to was costco dumping like 200 million dollars of gold every month or some ridiculous number just selling it off there people are going to costco and buying gold yeah nobody wants to hold us dollars right now yeah i think it's crazy personally i've i mean i'm not a not a money
Starting point is 01:44:03 manager but i have a i definitely value the U.S. dollar for now, but I'm divested. I'm in crypto. I'm in metal. I like the three, the trifecta. I'm not in foreign currency. Not really. Not at all.
Starting point is 01:44:16 All right. Raymond G. Stanley Jr. says, Tim, towards a comment from yesterday, the Marine Corps Force Design 2030 plan is to make a leaner, more agile force to island hop in the Indo-Pacific, going back to our roots of amphibious assaults. There it is. There it is.
Starting point is 01:44:30 Marines are one of the only branches that makes their recruitment goals, so they are probably the only ones who could actually pull off any kind of strategy change. Whoa. The soft and fudgy says beef cows were $250 a head last year. This year, it's $550 a head. Wow. Take care of your cows.
Starting point is 01:44:45 Be good to your cows. Yeah, well, I mean, you have certain European countries. Ireland, for one, is imposing mass killing of cows. They decide you have too many. We have to kill some of your cows. They're anti-cow. That's crazy. It's true.
Starting point is 01:44:58 They're doing that. We only eat caragold. We do only the caragold butter, so we're worried. How am I going to get my imported Irish butter once they're doing that? There you go. But there was some guy, he had a had a tweet he said you will stop eating meat whether you like it or not or something and i'm like my guy i own chickens i am going to eat meat forever you can ban them from the grocery store but i got a chicken city outside and those little dudes make more of themselves and then just eat bugs off the ground yeah whoever tweeted that doesn't know anyone who
Starting point is 01:45:22 hunts to provide meat for their family yeah there's there's too many deer we had so many deer last year they were gaunt and dying because there was no food for them because they were eating everything and it's it is really funny when you look at the trees there's a straight line all the trees are perfectly cut because i know we have trees and we have deer in my neighborhood it's what the deer can reach and so we're looking there's like how come all the deers are all the trees are evenly cut it's like the deer reach up and they eat my wife has a brand new weeping cherry and the deer are merciless. They love it.
Starting point is 01:45:49 Yeah, they stole all of our apples. Yeah, we're not so mad though. We like making applesauce from the apple tree, but you can only do it for a little bit. But the deer don't touch the wine berries.
Starting point is 01:45:59 So wine berry season is based AF. Yeah, that's coming up, I think actually. Like two more months maybe uh the other news is the tadpoles in the pond are fully tadpoles and they got little tails and they're swimming around doing tadpole stuff i could hear him on my walk earlier i heard the noise is like yeah they're making that crazy oh dude but it's crazy because there's a there's
Starting point is 01:46:22 like a swamp nearby a pond and there's like 10 000 frogs so it's just all night it's crazy because there's like a swamp nearby, a pond, and there's like 10,000 frogs. So it's just all night. It's like they're loud. And they eat the bugs, I guess. Eat the mosquitoes. I was thinking about that on the walk back. So they're probably pretty good for the environment. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:34 We bought feeder fish last year when we set up the pond and just dumped them in. And we were like, oh, we'll see if they make it through winter. And now they're big. Oh, the goldfish? They're not goldfish. They're just feeder fish. They're like, I don't even know what kind of fish they are. are they're just you go to a pet store and you're like i need food for my bigger fish or whatever and then they just scoop up a hundred of them into a bag and
Starting point is 01:46:52 said there you go and then we put them in the pond and now there's a bunch of them and they're like three times as big i hope they're having babies cool yeah the frogs are all having babies and they won't shut up they scream all night all right let's go 467 sprite says how many young relationships are suffering from this not knowing where the money is going i think i mean look we we this country is in more than a military crisis more than a border crisis the next generation which needs to inherit industry buy houses otherwise housing the house of the the cost of a price the prices of homes will collapse and investments will collapse they need to have kids they need
Starting point is 01:47:31 to have families and if they don't this country ceases to exist and that is the track we are on right now so um i will say conservatives are having lots of kids so perhaps in 20 years the country will be a smaller population democrats are trying to pad the numbers as much as possible with non-citizens which is just a recipe for a civil war right i i think there are a lot of young relationships who suffer especially during hard economic times and i i think this is something you'll see a lot uh with especially with the birth rate on decline in decline people will say like oh well we just couldn't afford it we just we just opted to go without these things and it is crazy to think that this is probably single people who are like well i probably should vote for biden because trump
Starting point is 01:48:12 is bad like he's costing you your future basically the afford things interesting because it's an investment you spend a lot up front and you get a lot more later here's one the yeti says biden is either proof the illuminati doesn't have cloned people or the clones wouldn't stop sniffing kids that's a good one they were going real clones were going rogue they had to shut down all the biden clones marani says love listening to the show the next morning when i'm casing my mail route or delivering my route i started paying more attention to politics just last just last year and y'all were the first I noticed, and I found my people with y'all. Hear, hear.
Starting point is 01:48:47 That's cool. Was that Casey? Tell your friends. Who was that? Tell your friends. I said Casey. What was the name? One of the challenges I think we have is, like, this is not really a podcast.
Starting point is 01:48:56 It's a live primetime show. And so viewership-wise, if all of our audience was on iTunesunes we'd probably be in the top 10 or the top 20 based on the numbers because like we do have a podcast version so we know where it is and uh you know i'm like man it would be greater like i gotta figure out marketing for the podcast side of things because that's an audience that we don't reach as well but uh yeah that's like a disadvantage that we've got i guess it's an advantage disadvantage i suppose being one of the biggest live shows on youtube but i think the advantage podcast reach for those who are listening to the show the next day the advantage of the format is it's higher
Starting point is 01:49:33 quality like four people in a room five people sorry serge the man by the way we're not counting the only african-american star of the show to my right serge dupree uh how do you say your last name again is it dupree or dupree don't dock surge everybody knows personal information um so i think it's just it's it's like we're friends it's like it's like it's like real people hanging out in a room hashing stuff out i don't know i like less stilted i think as a you know visitor here it's a very easy conversation to slide into it feels like yeah you know peanut pirate says tim i'm an econ major the government and media almost exclusively hire keynesian economists which is hogwash
Starting point is 01:50:11 chicago economists like sewell and austrian economists are reasonably good at predicting things well there you go tn says missouri elections office emailed me back regarding those crazy ssa voting numbers they said it's not new registration but checking their data against ssa data for clean rolls posted email in discord that's what we thought it was but that flies in the face of what the law states so the ssa says according to the law this is only verification for new voters and we were speculating like what if they're doing voter roll checks by asking to verify these voters? That would mean the states are abusing the verification system, according to the Social Security Administration, in order to clean up their rolls. But then why would, if what they're saying is true, why would some states have zero?
Starting point is 01:50:59 Because they're not. Did no one die in that state? Well, no, no, no. It's, the idea is that Texas is doing a voter roll check. So they take their other states or not. But this makes no I'm sorry. This still makes no sense. They they they don't need to go to the Social Security Administration.
Starting point is 01:51:14 They have the driver's licenses. So what they're saying is they're going to their voter rolls and pulling all the people with no licenses and then verifying if they're still alive or whatever. I guess fine, maybe. But that would mean all of them would be dead. So I guess the idea is they're going into their database looking for everybody who's registered to vote in the past who has a no ID and then checking to make sure they're a real person, which I don't understand the point of. Well, there's always new people. They're looking for dead people of. There's always new people. They're looking for dead people, I guess. And new people.
Starting point is 01:51:48 There's always new citizens. They're not citizens. No, no, no. But the point is this person said they got an email back saying that it was voter roll cleaning. Well, that's okay. Okay, so then the Social Security Administration
Starting point is 01:52:01 is going to be pissed off when they find out. It's like, hey, wait a minute. This is only for new voters. What are you doing? Yeah. You're using our federal service and tax dollars to basically do your voter roll cleaning.
Starting point is 01:52:11 Right. Fine, that's fine. You need the Social Security Office to respond to this and be like, that's not what we're doing. Sean Nesman says, Tim, you're always saying
Starting point is 01:52:18 how crazy, how scary it will be when Neuralink gets to a right phase. Check out the show Dollhouse. It's about that exactly. And so is, what's that upload or whatever the show's called? What's that show called? I think it is, but I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 01:52:30 Where the guy dies and they upload his brain? Yeah. And when you die, you can retire virtually for the rest of your life? Would you want to do that? No. I wouldn't either. No, no, I would upload my consciousness to a robot so that I can fly around and shoot fireballs.
Starting point is 01:52:47 And then they're going to be like, why did we do this? Why did we put his brain in that body? Like a Tim Kool action figure in the making. That's actually a part of the show too, though. A rich guy gets a robot body so that he can upload his mind into it and then he's like walking around so he can keep running his business. Part of upload?
Starting point is 01:53:02 Yeah. Oh, cool. Toxic workaholism. Would you? In the show, it's illegal to work after you die. Oh. Interesting. Yeah, because it would disrupt the labor market. Okay. What if at the last minute, right before you die,
Starting point is 01:53:15 you get to make the decision if you want to keep going in a robot plane? That's what the show is. So if that was there, would you consider maybe keeping the door open that maybe at the last minute you would say yes? I mean, I can't say what I'm going to do on my deathbed for sure, but it doesn't seem like something. I would say yes. You know why? Because what would really happen is when you say yes and then your soul is ripped from your body and you go to heaven or hell, you can look down or up at the robot pretending to be you.
Starting point is 01:53:50 So, but your consciousness is in the robot while your soul is either in heaven or hell? It's a copy of your consciousness. You're gone. It's a copy. Yeah, there's a meme. So you're not aware of it? It's a fractal. No, I mean, whatever you're aware of in heaven, I suppose.
Starting point is 01:53:58 There's a meme where it's a guy says, it's at me looking up from hell at the robot body with my consciousness uploaded into it masquerading as me like but what you can copy your brain into it but you're not going in it what if you could be the robot and you're the spirit that's in space that can travel the the the universe there's no guarantee of that everybody knows who has done dmt that we are puppets piloted by fourth dimensional elf beings of some sort. And so when you get separated from it, whatever is here on this earthly plane stays and you go somewhere else.
Starting point is 01:54:35 I just don't think that it would ultimately serve me. Like, what is this for? I haven't watched the show, but you said like he gets uploaded to a robot so he can continue to run his business so maybe he felt like that was worth doing but like is it gonna be good for your kids if you have like a robot body and are still hanging around kind of forever like you know who benefits from there's a sitcom in there somewhere yeah seriously dad is a robot with the consciousness uploaded into it and then the kid the family has to adjust like especially if you were like to to have young children like maybe that would be good for them to have your consciousness around for a long time on the other hand like it's just you kind of living on forever in a robot form that is like a fake you
Starting point is 01:55:12 or or a dad who's like in his early 40s has a heart attack and he's in the hospital and then he's comatose and the doctor's like he's not gonna make it so the wife is like i'll sign the forms upload him and then they upload his brain to a robot body the robot dad wakes up and he's like what am i and she's like it was the only way to save your life your body is dying and then all of a sudden the body goes i'm fine i've had a recovery and now there's two of them and then it turns out the robot is like evil oh boy would you call it
Starting point is 01:55:46 Robot Dad would that be the name of the show no it'd have to be something scarier than that it'd have to be something scarier
Starting point is 01:55:51 than that like you know that's a pretty good premise the darkness of mind or something mom has to make a choice then oh she falls in love
Starting point is 01:55:58 with those she doesn't know which one is she married it's like when people would get lost at sea and she would get married it already is so not that
Starting point is 01:56:04 but there's a movie where a woman's husband dies i forgot it was college watched it and she has him his consciousness you can you save point your mind so that if you die your mind can be uploaded to a robot body and you're brought back as like a a comfort for your loved ones or whatever and then she's like, this was a mistake. I never should have done this. You need to leave. He finds out he's a robot and then he murders her
Starting point is 01:56:29 and replaces her with a robot version of herself. I've seen this too. Yeah. What was that? I don't know. It was a couple of years ago on Prime or something. Did you guys see the Civil Shepherd movie where her fiance dies
Starting point is 01:56:41 and then he's in heaven and he's waiting in line to get reincarnated and they're giving everyone like an injection before they get reincarnated so they forget their past life but he's in such a hurry to get back to her that he runs through the line and is born again and so when he's reborn he starts to remember his past life and he falls in love with her again
Starting point is 01:56:57 when she's an older woman. It's a badass movie. That sounds like pro-Cougar propaganda. It was. But Sybil was great at playing young and old. He gets a jab and then he marries an older lady. Not necessarily. He skips the jab. He skips the jab.
Starting point is 01:57:09 Have you ever watched those videos where kids say creepy stuff? Like I was watching this compilation of kids who have like memories of past lives or whatever. And there was like video from a car or whatever. And the kid is like, he looks over and he's like, that's where I went to school. And they're like, when? And he was like, 50 years car or whatever. And the kid is like, he looks over and he's like, that's where I went to school. And they're like, when? And he, and he was like 50 years ago or something creepy thing.
Starting point is 01:57:30 Yeah. And then they say things and they're like, how do you know that? And then like the parents say, like, we looked into it and he was right about the name of a teacher who had been there. And we don't know how he knows.
Starting point is 01:57:40 Yeah. I've heard, I've heard, I knew a girl who, um, her imaginary friend was, she was like playing her mom came in. I was like, you playing my friend she's like what's your friend's name and it was like emma and it was that was the um first child the mom had had who had died from sids and
Starting point is 01:57:55 she never talked about her ever and they were like presumably someone in the family maybe mentioned it and that's where it came from but the mom was totally creeped out she's like what do you mean you're playing with all right let's read some more i think the movie i was looking for was called heaven can wait by the way i don't know if it's civil warren baity that's an old one so let's read some more superchats we got skylar rest saying greetings tim and cast i feel the culture is slowly turning recently started listening to a band called dope in 1999 they released a song titled f the police in 2023 they released a song titled choke which peacefully advocates quieting woke people that's that's not a good thing what question yikes all right tjk says illegal immigrants filing for
Starting point is 01:58:33 asylum can file for a work permit under current law after waiting 180 days without resolution for their claim these people are getting work permits yeah that's what kathy hokal kept saying she was like you, they're here. We might as well give them work permits. Right, but they're abusing what the definition of asylum ought to be. Absolutely. Right. Because you can just say it.
Starting point is 01:58:51 You don't have to prove it. Coming here because you think you can get a job because Joe Biden will let you in does not make you a political refugee seeking asylum. Right. Clint Torres says, howdy, people. Tim, Pearl is just the Dylan Mulvaney of the red pill. She has tried all she can and now playing to the base that shop her the most.
Starting point is 01:59:10 It's all just a huge grift. Yeah, I feel like when no matter what the default is, woman bad can't be good. It's like, well, certainly not every single instance is a negative thing. And when my point is, wow, it's a good thing that people are starting to grift God because that means they think God is the right side of history. And then she's like, take the L. It's like I saw that my immediate reaction was she's grifting like there's no L to be taken. I'm not wrong. They're grifting because they think it's the right side of history.
Starting point is 01:59:42 Right. It doesn't mean they're good people. She's still a degenerate. Yeah. Neither one of you is arguing that's the right side of history. Right. It doesn't mean they're good people. She's still a degenerate. Yeah. Neither one of you is arguing that she's sincere. So then, right. So Pearl's just saying,
Starting point is 01:59:50 no, take the L because it's a grift. And sometimes people have no, no idea which direction to go. So they'll just go to the one they think looks the best. That doesn't mean they're grifting. That's a cultural. People also,
Starting point is 02:00:03 I think, I know people who abuse the word grift. I was thinking that I think I know people abuse the word grift I was thinking that today you know because sometimes it's just you know it's just a job just just
Starting point is 02:00:11 because you'd like for example on Twitter people who have worked in and around Trump world are all the time being accused of being in on the
Starting point is 02:00:18 grift right but what working on political campaigns is a grift now it's actually a career you know people do it everything's a great everything's a grift all it's actually a career you know people do it everything's a great everything's a grift all right everybody if you haven't already would you kindly smash that like button subscribe to this channel share the show with all your friends
Starting point is 02:00:33 this political season it's going to be fun we are planning a major election show at the uh i believe it'll be the martinsburg location it's going to be like our super our olympics basically i was gonna say super bowl but like our olympics every four years and so this one's going to be a big show and we'll probably be live all day on election day uh come november so it's going to be a lot of fun uh but now we're going to go to the uncensored show over at timcast.com so become a member if you'd like to watch where and then we're going to take callers so if you're a member you can actually submit questions and talk to us you can follow the the show at TimCastIRL. You can follow me personally at TimCast. Other Tim, do you want to shout anything out?
Starting point is 02:01:09 I do. I'd like to hawk my book one more time. It's called Swing Hard in Case You Hit It. This is partly about politics, my years in the Trump campaign and in other politics. But the other half is my decades-long struggle with alcoholism and how I made it out. I went to rehab five times. And every time I was in rehab, I spent a lot of time in the bookstore and I read the books that were written by people who told their own stories about how they made it through, how they escaped addiction.
Starting point is 02:01:33 Those are the books that I wanted to read. Those are the ones that helped me. And that's what I wanted to write. And I figure if somebody is struggling with addiction and picks up my book and just flips through it for a few minutes, and in those few minutes, they don't take a drink. Then it was worth writing. So, you know, I have found that it is universal. Either people, I talked to so many people, either they themselves have been had a problem drinking or with other substances or somebody in their family. It's almost a universal problem that affects nearly everybody in this country.
Starting point is 02:02:00 And so that's the book I wanted to write. Swing Hard, in case you hit it. It's available now on Amazon, Target.com, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, all the places, anywhere you can get a book, you can find this. Paperback, hardback, and Kindle available now. That's awesome. I think that's find it interesting. Plus all the drinking stories in here are just insane. People have worse stories than mine. I try not to compare, but you read this thing and as I read it now and I think, my God,
Starting point is 02:02:33 how did I survive? Yeah. You know, it's probably fascinating. I'm going to get a copy and read it. I wish everybody would swing hard in case you hit it by me, Tim Mertel. Cool.
